Elsewhere on Department of Agriculture
Tasmanian Forests Intergovernmental Agreement
The Tasmanian Forests Intergovernmental Agreement is designed to support the forest industry in the state to progressively transition to a more sustainable and diversified footing and to build regional economic diversity and community resilience; and it aims to improve conservation outcomes.
Signed by the Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Tasmanian Premier Lara Giddings on 7 August 2011 the agreement aims to provide certainty for Tasmania's forestry industry, support local jobs and communities, and protect additional forest areas.
Under the agreement a total of $277 million, including $15 million from the State Government, will be provided in the following key areas:
- $85 million to support contractors and their families affected by the downturn in the industry, and in particular Gunns Limited's decision to exit native forest harvesting
- Including $45 million under the Tasmanian Forests Intergovernmental Agreement Contractors Voluntary Exit Grants Program
- $43 million to facilitate protection of new areas of high conservation value forests
- $120 million over 15 years, including an initial payment of $20 million to identify and fund appropriate regional development projects
- $7 million per annum ongoing to manage new reserves
An Independent Verification Group established to provide advice to the Prime Minister and the Tasmanian Premier on sustainable ti MBer supply requirements and areas and boundaries of reserves from within the ENGO–nominated 572,000 hectares of High Conservation Value native forest provided its report on 23 March 2012 (see link as below in deleted section).
Australian Government's response to the statement of principles on Tasmanian forests — Dece MBer 2010
The Australian Government welcomed the new relationship between industry, union and environmental organisations to develop the Tasmanian forests statement of principles to lead to an agreement, as a positive step toward balancing the conservation and sustainable development and management of Tasmania's forest resources.
To support the Statement of principles, the Australian Government worked with the Tasmanian Government to undertake an initial due diligence assessment and jointly appointed an independent facilitator, Mr Bill Kelty AC, to work with the signatories to develop an implementation plan.
The Australian Government tabled the interim report from Mr Bill Kelty in the Australian Parliament on 5 April 2011.
The due diligence assessment included the preparation of a report by the Cooperative Research Centre for Forestry titled:
- Socioeconomic impacts of forest industry change: a baseline study of the Tasmanian forest industry PDF [6.3 MB] *;
and a report by Forestry Tasmania titled:
- Evaluation of Wood Resource Scenarios relevant to the Tasmanian Forests Statement of Principles to lead to an Agreement – Final Report to Signatories PDF [1.9 MB] *.
Professor Jerry Vanclay (Southern Cross University) and Professor Cris Brack (Waiariki Institute of Technology, NZ) were appointed to conduct an independent review of Forestry Tasmania's Sustainable Yield Systems as part of due diligence assessment to verify wood resource scenarios:
Further verification work has been undertaken in accordance with the Heads of Agreement signed on 24 July 2011 and Intergovernmental Agreement signed on 7 August 2011.

We are still having tons of visitors and comments on our discussion from October about the show "Jon and Kate Plus 8." As of last night we had 336 comments!
So I knew when I found this brand new dishy story on the family you guys would want to read and talk about it.
It's from this month's "Philadelphia." The family refused to be interviewed by the reporter Jessica Remo, but she did talk to about 100 people that knew the family.
It talks about them breaking speaking engagements, what really happened to Aunt Jodi and best friend Beth and why Jon got fired from his job.
There is also a sidebar about how the reporter got her story that I found pretty interesting as well.
The story is long, but I think it is well worth the read. Here are few interesting nuggets from the story:
"Nielsen ranks the series eighth out of 149 cable shows for product placement."
"All of this has left former friends of the Gosselins who have been shoved out of the family's life both puzzled and concerned. One is worried because she claims Beth and Jodi often were the ones on set taking that role of looking out for the children's well-being, telling the film crew, 'Okay, they need lunch' and 'You'll get your shot later.' "
"The latest episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8 detail the Gosselins' move to a new $1.13 million house on 24 acres in Lower Heidelberg Township, near Reading in Berks County."
(I was just interested in how much the house cost and that it wasn't in North Carolina as previously reported by other news agencies.)
So read the article and see what you think. Does it change your opinion of Jon or Kate? Does any of it surprise you? Does any of it upset you? Do you think it's untrue?

While divining (searching for water) in upstate New York, Cassandra Brooks discovers the body of a young girl hanging from a tree. When she returns with with the authorities, the body is gone. However, when she returns the following day with the sheriff, another girl emerges from the woods, unhurt. I expected from the description of this book that this novel would be a sort of spiritual mystery. I was disappointed. It really is more about the diviner's self exploration--with a little mystery thrown in. The last third of the book could have been edited significantly. I would this novel a 2.5 out of 5.

Brian Blume and Jill Zook will say 'I do' this fall.
"I think I've been to enough weddings and seen enough of brides literally running around in their wedding dress freaking out directing traffic an hour before their wedding and I didn't want that," said Zook.
So the couple enlisted the help of a wedding planner to sweat the small stuff and help them stay on budget.
"We've got a mortgage, we have student loans, so staying on budget is very important to us," Zook said. "While we want a nice wedding, we also want a nice life, so kind of just finding that middle ground," Blume added.
Wedding planners can cater to couples on all budgets in need of various services, most starting around $1,000. A wedding planner can help find vendors to meet your price point, negotiate discounts, and provide money-saving advice.
"Using maybe a Friday or a Sunday as their wedding day. The venues typically charge less on those particular days. They can cut back on their guest list. And then sometimes just having a smaller bridal party that can help them also," said wedding planner, Marie Frey.
One thing brides should never do is ignore the fine print in contracts.
"We've heard instances of consumers being asked to give up their right to talk about their experience when signing vendor contracts. If you see a request like that in a contract walk away from that vendor," said Angie Hicks from Angie's List.
"You are trusting somebody with one of the biggest days of your life and to know we can trust her, it's a good feeling," Zook said.
If you're planning a wedding, but don't know where to start, check out the Angie's List wedding checklist.

Turning off Parallax in iOS 7
By Jesse Hollington
Social Media & Software Editor, iLoungeGoogle+
Published: Tuesday, October 8, 2013
Tips Categories: iPad, iPhone, iPod,
The new Parallax feature is one of the more interesting design changes in iOS 7, but many find it to be motion sickness inducing or just downright distracting. If you find yourself in that group of users, the good news is that you can easily turn it off. Simply go into Settings, General, Accessibility and you can the option listed as Reduce Motion; toggling this ON will disable the parallax effect throughout iOS 7. As an added bonus, turning this off may even help you conserve a bit of battery life by reducing the use of the accelerometer and gyroscope.

Unfortunately, what this setting does not do is turn off the exploding/imploding effects which seem to be the main issue with people getting headaches and motion sickness. Perhaps in a future update these effects will be tied to the parallax setting.
Posted by rockmyplimsoul on October 8, 2013 at 3:07 PM (CDT)
I agree with rockmeplmsoul. I didn't realize how often I switched between apps until the new release. The constant motion is annoying. I'm still having a hard time seeing improvement over ios6. I had to update an old ipod touch yesterday and was surprised at how vibrant the icons appeared. Oh well, change is good?
Posted by cutacrossshorty on October 8, 2013 at 3:13 PM (CDT)
Apple in all their wisdom, still forces you to do things their way.
Don't like the parallax? Turn it off.
What about the zoom? Well, we at Apple LOVE it, so…TOUGH.
All that blinding white? We at Apple love it, so SUCK IT!
Would it be too much to ask if the allowed us to customize the appearance EVEN A LITTLE? The constant zooming, parallax and BLINDING WHITE is a little too much for most users.
BEST THING YET: Need to look at your phone for whatever reason in a dark room? Result: AUUUGGGHHH!!! MY EYES!!! MUST. TURN. DOWN. BRIGHTNESS!!
Give us that little freedom Apple, and we will have even less inclination to jailbreak our devices.

On an iphone 4 with ios 7.02, there is no apparent way to turn off parallax - there is no reduce motion toggle. Can anyone help???
Posted by Deedar on October 18, 2013 at 12:33 PM (CDT)
@Deedar (#4): The iPhone 4 doesn't support the parallax feature, so there's nothing to turn off.

Vitafoods South America has announced topics for its Seminar Theatre programme at this year's exhibition. The programme includes discussions on weight management, heart health and consumer attitudes to science in food innovation, as well as a host of other topics all presented by the world's leading nutraceutical experts and key industry suppliers.
With content free for all visitors to the show, the Vitafoods South America Seminar Theatre is a popular attraction at the event, and once again features talks from independent associations, research companies and consultancies as well as exhibitor–led presentations.
Highlights include, Jorge Sarasqueta, Director at Innova Market Insights, discussing the Top Trends in 2014; Datamonitor Analyst Renata De March explores weight management; and an EAS Strategic Advice workshop on the regulatory issues faced when launching a food supplement or product with a nutrition or health claim.
Top Trends in 2014 takes place on the first day of the show between 16:20 – 16:50. Providing an essential insight into the trends shaping the global food industry, topics include 'Waste Not Want Not', which looks at how food manufacturers are attempting to reduce food wastage during production, and 'You Can Trust Us', putting current consumer confidence in the food industry under the microscope. Other topics set for exploration are 'The Protein Horizon', the ever-increasing use of protein in new product launches and 'Look out for the Small Guy', how small companies are developing markets by targeting niche areas.
Datamonitor's Renata De March's Weight Management – Consumer and Innovation Trends opens day two at 11:30. With 1.5 billion adults aged 20 and above overweight or obese and 43 million children under the age of five overweight, obesity is a global epidemic. This session explores whether the food and beverage industry could do more to fully engage weight-conscious consumers and whether consumer and innovation insight can help pinpoint key marketing platforms that can be used to encourage new product trial.
For those interested in gaining regulatory advice there is a workshop on nutrition and health claims presented by EAS Strategic Advice which provides a comprehensive guide for companies looking to launch a food supplement or functional food product that bears a nutrition or health claim. The workshop also looks to explain the similarities and differences in nutrition and health claims regulations across Latin America's trade blocks and clarify the regulations and procedures that companies must be aware of in key markets when launching a food or ingredient using innovative claims. The workshop is an extended session and takes place from 14:30 – 17:20.
Returning with another insightful exploration of a key market sector, Jorge Sarasqueta presents Heart Health Supplements Have Good Rhythm from 13:00 – 13:30. With global launches in heart health products experiencing a 5% annual growth between 2009 and 2013, this Innova Market Insights presentation looks at the top ingredients and formats used to deliver heart health supplements.
Consumer attitudes to science in food and innovation, presented by Leatherhead Food Research Principal Analyst Nicole Patterson-Lett, delves into the consumer psyche, looking at which food and drink categories are considered to be innovative and whether national companies or local independent companies are seen as leading the way in food and drink innovation. Also set for discussion are consumer attitudes towards science and technology in food manufacturing, nanotechnology and what can be learned from consumer opinions on GM foods. This discussion takes place from 13:40 – 14:10 on Wednesday 9th April.
Exhibitor-led sessions in the Vitafoods South America Seminar Theatre programme include The Potential of Medicinal Plants in Nutrition-Related Pathologies with Maria Angélica Fiut, nutritionist and board member of ABFIT and Lutein and Zeaxanthin: Special nutrients, from pregnancy to adult life with Rafaela Pontes of Kemin.
There are also presentations from Dan Souza, DBS Sales Director at Naturex on Flowens and PACran – how strong clinical science on Cranberry revitalise the Men's Health and Women's Health Categories and Private Labelling and Nutraceuticals: Global Outlook and Success Strategies presented by Ken McClellan of Private Label Omega-3.
Chris Lee, Vitafoods Portfolio Director, commented: "With the Brazilian nutraceutical market alone predicted to account for a 24.4% share of the world market by 2017, the Latin American functional foods and nutraceutical market is booming[1]. Companies recognise the potential of launching new products and ingredients in a market where there is increasing interest from consumers in their health and well-being. Visitors to the show have access to presentations by the world's leading nutraceutical experts on the issues that are most relevant to the Latin American market. Regulatory affairs, new trends and consumer attitudes are topics that are of huge relevance to visitors to Vitafoods South America and the Seminar Theatre programme provides valuable insight relating to these issues and the opportunity to network with other industry professionals."
All presentations are in either Portuguese or English and are simultaneously translated.

Sudan ignores ICC arrest warrants
First two Darfur war crimes suspects named
Ahmed Mohammed Haroun (or Ahmad Harun أحمد هارون) is one of three Sudanese men wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur. Despite international pressure on the government of Sudan to surrender him to the ICC, Haroun served as Sudan's Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs until May 2009 when he was appointed to the governorship of South Kordofan. In September 2007, he was appointed to lead an investigation into human rights violations in Darfur.
Born in 1964, Haroun is from the state of North Kordofan. He comes from the Bargo tribe in western Sudan. He trained as a lawyer and at one time he was Sudan's youngest minister of state. He also accused in participating in mobilizing and training of tribal fighters to attack civilians during the counterinsurgency in South Sudan. He also participated in the mobilization of the Murahileen militia and the conduct of military operations in Kordofan during the 1990s.
During the time Haroun served as the Minister of State for the Interior, from April 2003 to September 2005, he also managed the Darfur Security Desk, which coordinated different government bodies involved in the counterinsurgency campaign in Darfur, such as the police, the Janjaweed, the Armed Forces, and the Intelligence Service. This department also managed access of NGOs and the media to Darfur. From 2006 until 2009, he was the Minister of State for Humanitarian Affairs.

Diablo, you won't think it's cool when you reach the stable equilibrium for BGs (i.e., everyone stops playing). If you encourage only winning, then losers (on your side or not) will lose more and more as they will be less able than winners to upgrade gear and increase chances for future winning. Then the losers will play less and less because there is zero chance for reward, and then the winners will have difficulty finding anyone to play with. You must also encourage trying, not only winning, so that you can better hover around the unstable equilibrium for BGs (i.e., being able to get a good game going whenever you want).

"Getting flexible working right can lead to higher motivation levels, better productivity and increased flexibility. Balancing both the needs of the company and the employee often results in happier and healthier employees and lower absence levels."

The annual CIPD/SimplyhealthAbsence Management survey reveals that, after a small decrease reported in last year's survey, absence is back up to the levels observed in 2011 and 2010, at an average of 7.6 days per employee. Absence levels are highest in the public services sector (8.7 days per employee per year) and lowest in the manufacturing and production sector (6 days per employee per year). Absence levels tend to increase with organisation size, regardless of sector. Read the NEW summaries for: Private sector Public sector

The stars came out and the town got dressed up for the 2008 Crystal Heart Awards Gala on Saturday, October 18. This annual black-tie event is the night for filmmakers and filmlovers at the Heartland Film Festival. Seventeen films and the filmmakers who created them were honored as Crystal Heart Award Winners, sharing a prize purse of $200,000. When all was said and done, one filmmaker was $100,000 richer and Heartland had awarded a whopping total of $2 million dollars to deserving independent filmmakers.
Carlos Diaz, corresponded from EXTRA, emceed the night and kept things moving at a clip. Three Truly Moving Picture Award-winning films were recognized, including Forever Strong, Tinker Bell and Henry Poole is Here. Directory Mark Pellington and Indianapolis native Rachel Seifreth were both at the event to accept the Award for Henry Poole.
The biggest news of the night were the three films named top in their category. Documentary short Victoria claimed the Vision Award for Best Short Film; filmmaker Charles Sommer was on hand to accept the honors. A little later in the program, producer Abigail Disney took the stage to accept the Best Documentary Feature award for the film Pray the Devil Back to Hell, the powerful story of how the women of Liberia changed the political landscape of that country through peaceful protest.
And in the highlight of the evening, writer/director Amin Matalga stumbled over words as he tried to express his gratitude for being named the Grand Prize Winner with his Dramatic Feature Captain Abu Raed. The film is about an airport janitor who spins exciting, albeit made-up, stories of his life as a pilot. His sincere belief in the power of dreams serves as an inspiration to the children in the neighborhood who look up to him.
All three films are still playing–screenings run through Thursday, October 23, and tickets are always available at the door. Visit the Festival Community to check schedules and find a movie to attend.

For those of you who have limited experience with charismatics..
I grew up SURROUNDED by them. I mean deep in the heart of Pentecostal country where the faith and its practice are pervasive, and have a constant influence on your life and interaction with others, even if you are not a believer.
I cannot even begin to convey what is was like, and I cannot emphasize enough
how I was basically floating in a sea of holy rollers. Most of you cannot even begin to comprehend what it was like, it truly is something you have to experience to understand.
I lack the eloquence to suitably convey it. Really, words fail.
And no, it was not pleasant. At all. Probably one of the reasons I have a few anger management issues and some hostility that sometimes escapes.
And no, my family was not religous. My dad's family are Easter/Christmas Catholics, as is half my mothers family. The other half are Jewish, and my parents have never displayed anything other than a rather embarrassed disdain for organized religion.
I experienced a more benign form of what those kids went through and it sucked. The movie was truly disturbing and I felt really bad for the kids in it. You can recover from that crap though.

Spring 2008
E 325 • Creative Writing: Fiction
|Hinojosa-Smith, R
Course Description
The quality of the student's writing is an important factor toward the course grade. The course is, above all, an English course. The insistence on English usage should not come as a surprise; you are enrolled in an English class in a university of the first class.
This is an upper division course for writers, and the instructor expects well-written papers. This includes 1) clarity, 2) grammar, 3) punctuation, 4) mechanics, and 5) usage. Students who are not up to the mark are advised to consider this most seriously before enrolling because the instructor insists on those basic requirements. They are basic since words are what writers work with; you are advised to keep this in mind.
No old creative writing material will be considered; hence, the student is to hand in a detailed outline of the first proposed story by the third class meeting. No late papers, no excuses. Late registrants enter this class at their peril.
Grading Policy
Four thousand words is the required minimum in Substantial Writing Courses. Toward this, three stories of 1500 words minimum are required for the course. These will be rewritten until all lapses are corrected; do not expect an increase in your grade because you corrected the material; consider this part of your learning experience.
In-class assignments will also be included as part of the grade.
The papers will be critiqued, e.g., misspellings will be labeled SP, lapses in tenses will be marked T, lack of agreement (pronoun and antecedent; subject with verb) will be marked LA. Other lapses will be marked accordingly. If you have more than three misspelled words, the highest grade to expect is a C, provided there are no other errors. The same applies with errors in tenses, and so on.
For your information: towards, backwards, amongst, and similar terms (which the instructor will point out) are examples of British-English usage; use American English.

A Losing Bet: the Last Days of Comdex, Part 1
Doc Searls is Senior Editor of Linux Journal
Re: A Losing Bet: the Last Days of Comdex, Part 1
One thing that surprised/disappointed me from the TabletPC makers (Acer most noticeably) was the focus on the OS and not on product differentiation. As my co-worker and I went from Acer to Toshiba (although they had some knowledge) to Fujitsu all we got from the Rep's was how to write our names and send a hand written emails.
Am I just naive to think that the product should take center stage given that the OS is what it is?
Anyway, next time my money will be spent at LinuxWorldExpo.
Re: A Losing Bet: the Last Days of Comdex, Part 1
The first time I see a "hand-written email" posted to a LUG will be amusing indeed. The inevitable thousandth time, however, won't be.
Anybody else think thats a brain-dead feature that should have been aborted before implementation? Its all well and good to save an image of notes and attach it to an email where that's useful, but to make it EASIER to send monster images of illegable rubbish than send proper text (well, MS-HTML-ized mangled text)... whoops.
I bet Microsoft tech support hates them already.
I work for a local newspaper covering a district full of more-money-than-brains yuppies driving monster four-wheel-drives by the way... we'll be right on the brunt of this one.
Next thing to look for - automatic handwriting recognition in MS Outlook, and the first exploits against it.
Re: fonts
"Microsoft has done a very nice job with screen type..."
Agreed. Most pleasing "out-of-the-box" visual (i.e. anti-aliased fonts) experience:
1) WinXP (especially on my Vaio)
2) GNU/Linux
3) Solaris 8 (non-existent, really; and a lot of pain to get it working for mozilla)
Re: fonts
I've heard that the subpixel rendering used by WinXP was invented by Steve Wozniak back in the Apple II days and never patented. Sadly, what Apple has today on OS X looks more to me like font blurring than anything else (yes, I know it's just anti-aliasing, but it's not pretty). The result is blurry screen type that's far less readable than it was in plain old Classic mode.
Linux may lag in the font department, but I think this is one of those areas where less is more.
Re: fonts
Doc, go to System Preferences General, and set the font smoothing to 'Medium - best for Flat Panel'. It does the sub-pixel thing, and makes a big difference in legibility. (You'll need to relaunch apps after switching it on)
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Binary decision diagrams (BDDs) are a representation of Boolean functions. Its use in the synthesis, simulation, and testing of Boolean circuits has been proposed by various researchers. In all these applications of BDDs solutions to some fundamental computational problems are needed. A characterization of BDDs in terms of the complexity of these computational problems is presented. A tighter bound on the size of an ordered BDD that can be computed from a given Boolean circuit is presented. On the basis of the results, a case is made for exploring the use of repeated BDDs, with a small number of repeated variables, and free BDDs for some applications for which only ordered BDDs have been used so far.

The Limelight Hypothesis, Part 2 (05/05/14)
Being an essay of opinions and observations on sundry issues related to the practice of negotiation; politics and electioneering; dickering over debt in the nation's capital; Otto von Bismarck's admonition about watching laws and sausages being made; a budding theory on the effect of constant attention-mongering from MSNBC, FOX News, and other bloggers, pundits, and blabbermouths; the creation of statutes, ordinances, rules, policies, regulations, and standards; and the making of hot dogs, chorizos, kielbasas, and bratwursts.

Expectation and Regret - A Look Back At How Mediation Has Fared In The U.S. (05/17/13)
In May, 2013, I gave a keynote talk to the Civil Mediation Council in London for their 7th National Conference. The question I was asked to address was: "What should we in England learn from the U.S. mediation experience?" Said differently, what might others profitably take from the explosive growth of court, community and privately offered mediation over the last 25 years in the U.S.? What hind-sights can we offer now that, by some measures, both countries have succeeded in marrying mediation into their civil law systems and legal cultures and what regrets and appreciations do Americans hold? 2 Comments

(1) They involve multiple stakeholders who may have very different viewpoints; (2) they are collaborative and require people to work together; (3) they are structured, meaning, JFF processes and meetings are not left to chance but are well designed and highly focused dialogues; (4) they are inquiry based and require a robust exploration to understand the problem from all angles; (5) they are interest driven study processes rather than forums for arguing value positions; and (6) they are integrative and multidisciplinary.

A Credo For Facilitators (06/23/08)
I recently was asked to state clearly and unequivocally to a group of prospective clients what my "philosophy" of facilitation is. To prepare for that, I went back through my files and dug up a "credo" that various colleagues and I put together in 1998 in Hawaii. The statement grew out of a series of discussions about the use and occasional abuse of "facilitation" in the public, private, and civic sectors.

Ten Questions on Leadership for Hillary Clinton, John McCain and Barack Obama (03/24/08)

The collective challenges we face -- balancing freedom and security, maintaining economic and environmental sustainability, educating our young people, and assuring the health of those who cannot take care of themselves -- crisscross all sorts of historic borders, jurisdictions, and purviews. Making headway on these challenges will necessarily be a team sport.
How will Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Barack Obama approach them? Imagine for a moment that we could engage all three candidates in an extended dialogue that goes beyond the sound bites and platform promises we have grown too accustomed to. Here is what I would ask:
