Modelling Land Use in Rural New Zealand
AbstractRegional Councils are primarily responsible for environmental management, as specified in the Resource Management Act (RMA), 1991. The Local Government Act 2002 has an integrative component, requiring consideration of social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of their communities. These two Acts are interesting, as their combination is shaping new governance structures within New Zealand. Different types of policy instruments are available to Regional Councils while carrying out their functions: regulatory, economic and voluntary. The 1990s are characterized by 'first generation Plans' of the RMA, which were highly rule focused. In the 2000s a marked shift occurred, mainstreaming 'community' and participative approaches to policy. This increased levels of trust between communities and the Regional Councils, and can be seen as building blocks in the formation of social capital. Where rules were not achieving particular policy objectives, interesting new hybrid forms of governance emerged. This paper looks at these newly-formed partnership approaches in New Zealand. The paper traces the emergence of partnerships as a collective form of action, and analyses them from an economic governance perspective. In so doing, the fundamental role of social capital is explained, as a rational economic concept. Regional Councils are centrally placed to anchor partnerships and strengthen their formation, hence strengthening social networks within the regions. The issue of riparian management is explored as a case study to inform how this could occur.

Sightseeing With The Enemy
An aspiring foreign correspondent attempts to cross into isolated Myanmar just in time for the revolution.
My goal was to be in Myanmar when the regime fell. I was backpacking around Southeast Asia and had concocted a plan to legally enter the country from northern Thailand on a tourist visa. Tensions were rising, and I was ready to begin my prestigious career as a foreign correspondent by covering the clashes between monk protestors and government troops, and hopefully the impending collapse of the corrupt military junta that had ruled the country for decades.
Thousands of monks were protesting in the streets, defying the fascist government on a grand scale not seen since similar protests occurred in 1988. Revolution seemed imminent, though there was also a chance that the government would react like it did during the last period of upheaval and massacre nonviolent protestors. The country was on the edge.
The plan to infiltrate Myanmar was not motivated solely by professional aspirations. There were personal reasons, as well. I fancied myself as someone with revolutionary ideals, someone who wanted to witness history firsthand instead of reading about it. The events in Myanmar exemplified the reasons I wanted to be a journalist: to shed light on the injustices of the world and those rebelling against them. While most kids my aged wished they could go back in time to see their team win the Super Bowl or to hear their favorite band's last concert, I wished I could join the revelers in Berlin as the Wall came down, or in Spain when Franco died. An entire nation of long-suffering people was literally about to be handed freedom in one moment. I couldn't think of a more worthy experience.
I assumed I'd be one of the only aspiring writers there, and simply being there would give me a leg up on the competition. Unfortunately the perfect plan met an early demise when my visa application was denied. Nonetheless, I would soon cross the Thai/Myanmar border, but only for an hour, and I would accomplish nothing besides once again getting caught up in a traveler's moral quandary with no clear-cut solution.
My visa application was denied while most of the world was waiting with bated breath. I was quite off put. My name no longer had any chance of soon appearing in boldface, my face as an exquisitely detailed cartoon in the Wall Street Journal. To make matters worse, the military junta ruling Burma had cracked down harshly on dissidents and the revolution no longer seemed remotely forthcoming. I tried to cloud my disappointment by settling into the routine hedonistic delights of the Southeast Asia backpacker trail, focusing on Scandinavian twentysomethings and Chang beer instead of politics and career breaks.
Had I been a braver man, with any semblance of an idea of what I was doing, or of moderate resources, or even a touch of experience, I might have tried to sneak into the country or finagle my way into a visa, but I didn't. I didn't even attempt to do so. Instead, the only time I set foot in Burma and came into contact with the regime was on a border run in northern Thailand.
Relations between Burma and Thailand have long been somewhat hostile, though they have improved of late. The border region, however, is a hotbed of conflict. It has long been associated with violence, narcotics trafficking, human trafficking and gem smuggling, not to mention the Burmese rebel groups that the Thai government, while not condoning, allows to operate in Thai territory. Refugee camps overpopulated with those escaping the atrocities perpetrated by the Burmese government dot the border as well.
Crossing into Burma from the Thai border is forbidden. The only legal way to enter Burma is to fly. The only exception, however, is a loophole that allows those coming from Thailand on a border run to purchase a one-day visa.
The Thai visa system follows a strange set of rules that forbid foreigners from staying in Thailand for more than 30 days at a time, and no more than 90 days in a period of six months. Those who want to stay longer than 30 days simply make a border run to Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia or Burma. They leave Thailand for the day, officially, and return with a fresh 30-day visa. Since I was currently in the north of Thailand, with only one day left on my visa, I elected to go to Burma for the day. "Day" is slightly deceiving. I was only in Burma for about an hour.
Currently, there is much debate regarding the morality of visiting Burma. In late February, the United Kingdom-based Trades Union Congress, Tourism Concern and Burma UK called for a boycott of the Lonely Planet guidebook agency. Spokespeople for the groups labeled visiting Burma unethical and said that merely having a guidebook published regarding travel to Burma encouraged travelers to venture there and served to condone the regime. There argument centered on the fact that most of the money spent by tourists in Burma is rerouted to the military budget.
Many say that tourists, since they are forced to pay fees and support government owned businesses, are contributing to a fascist and inhumane regime. Nobel Prize Winner Aung San Suu Kyi, the democratically elected prime minister who was deposed and imprisoned once commented, "Tourism to Burma is helping to prolong the life of one of the most brutal and destructive regimes in the world." Reports have also confirmed that the government used forced labor to prepare sites for tourists.
Others argue that foreigners simply bearing witness to the situation, as well as spending money that reaches the hands of destitute Burmese civilians, far outweigh the aforementioned cons. Thant Myint-U, author of the book River of Lost Foot Steps regarding the boycott of Burma, said: "Isolation is the regime's default condition. It is what fuels the present system. Burma might not become a democracy overnight, but it will certainly improve with more outside interaction. Would Indonesia be better off if no one had visited during its 30 years of military rule?"
I, on the other hand, did not have the luxury of a two-sided argument. I was barely even entering the country, let alone observing the condition in which the citizens survived. I was simply walking 20 meters into the country, handing a Burmese official 10 dollars for a stamp on my passport, and leaving. I was directly contributing to the regime, witnessing nothing and putting no money in to the local economy. The morality debate suddenly became much more simplified.
I had chosen to do the border run with the help of a tour agency that shepherded eight or so people from Chang Mai to the Burmese border to renew their Thai visas. We crossed over from the Thai town of Mae Sai into Tachileik, Burma. The border area was bustling, though it reeked of desperation. The river banks that separated the two countries were flooded with rubbish and refuse. Burmese orphans and beggars littered the streets on both sides, forced into a life of want by the cruelty of those that saw fit to keep their own people practically enslaved. Old Burmese women wearing traditional yellow face paint loitered and sold fresh river crabs and trinkets. I assumed most were refugees.
At the checkpoint to receive an exit stamp from Thailand, I noticed a monk entering Burma. His fellow monks were being slaughtered, their temples raided with brutal efficiency. I wanted to ask him why, what type of courage or necessity possessed him to enter Burma at a time like this, but fear paralyzed me.
I made my way across the bridge and into the official Burmese border patrol office, where the officials photographed me for government records. I paid my fee of ten dollars and received my stamp.
Coming face-to-face with officials who worked for a totalitarian government that practiced intolerable cruelty jarred me a bit. I wondered how much they knew, how complicit they were in the government's actions, how they could support a system that resulted in so much suffering among their brethren. It was certainly possible they didn't know much, considering the austere grip the Burmese government held over the media, but surely they had to be somewhat aware. Questions circulated in my mind as I scowled for their cameras, yet it wasn't the first time I had encountered this type of situation.
On a trip through Sudan in 2006, I camped in the yard of a sailing club in Khartoum one night. Besides my fellow Western travelers, a number of old, officious-looking Sudanese men sat around picnic tables watching the Africa Cup soccer matches on an outdoor television. Eventually we got to speaking with these men, as they shared moonshine and marijuana with us. In a country where both of these offenses are punishable with severe jail sentences, these men did so openly, and without any fear. I reasoned they had to have some level of prestige to flaunt their illegalities so openly.
My suspicions were confirmed a few hours later when one of the old men alerted me that he had previously been a diplomat stationed in the United States. Back then, I either lacked fear or tact or both, so I questioned them about the situation in Darfur. One gentleman told me, "It is the same in every society, people get along with each other but within different races there are prejudices, and a small portion of the people are really just extreme." Another commented that he did not know much about the situation.
Later in the night they laughingly told another Westerner that with the keffiyeh wrapped around his face he resembled a janjaweed, their name for the Arab militias perpetrating the genocide. The comment disturbed me and the marijuana clouding my senses paved the way for a spirited internal debate. How they could make light of the situation while a genocide was taking place within their borders, under their watch? Was I merely being overly sensitive? Could humor simply be their way of dealing with the tragic circumstances?
Something didn't sit right, and I went to bed that night thinking about the premise put forth by Daniel Goldhagen in Hitler's Willing Executioners. Goldhagen argues that average Germans were well aware of and either supported or condoned the actions of the government during the Holocaust. Could the same be said for the Sudanese and the Burmese I had encountered? Given these circumstances, might every employee of the government be seen as a tool of a brutal regime? And more importantly, was it even ethical to journey to these countries, even if you're on your own personal fact-finding mission?
I wanted to visit these places, had been to them already, enjoyed them, but would I have said the same about Nazi Germany in 1940 had I visited? I struggled for an answer. Would it have been more legitimate to go, to witness the situation and spread awareness? Would awareness even have brought any changes? While the Nazis had done a good job of keeping their practices mostly secret, the world is well aware of the actions of Sudan and Burma. People know about the atrocities, yet nothing is done. Awareness has done little to alleviate to the pain and suffering of the people.
I soon realized that my presence had little effect on the people of Burma and the future of the repressive regime, positive or negative. The truth of the matter that travelers and tourists never do. Anyone traveling to a disreputable country should, of course, show proper respect for the locals and attempt to help in any way possible, but it is not the responsibility of the traveler to set a precedent in regards to foreign policy. A traveler's nature is to seek, to see, to search out. The act of visiting a country is not a show of support for its policies; rather it is in act of curiosity about how the world works, and how the people live.
It is up to the leaders of government and business to set those precedents. If the TUC and the other organizations wish to take a stand against the military junta, they should do so by protesting against the Chinese government that finances the Burmese military, or the oil companies that pour in the money that keeps the government afloat. The Lonely Planet protest is well-stated but misguided. If every traveler who meant to go to Burma neglected to do so, not much would change. But if our governments and business leaders refused to deal with them, I have no doubt the revolution would be forthcoming, and maybe I'd finally be able to realize my dream and join in the celebrations in the streets of Rangoon.

BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman first announced their intentions to join together in pursuit of the Ground Combat Vehicle competition in March 2010. Since then, BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman have assembled a team with some of the most talented and seasoned, high performance capability providers in the defense industry.
Each teammate brings proven experience, the latest technology, cultures of innovation, advanced capabilities, demonstrated reliability and immense value; assets that strengthen the team's GCV vehicle offering. Collectively, we are working together to provide the best practical solution to meet the U.S. Army's requirements for the next infantry fighting vehicle.
Bringing to GCV
As the prime contractor, BAE Systems will provide the overall program management and systems integration for GCV and will also be responsible for providing the vehicle design, structure, logistical support as well as the readiness and sustainment of the platform.
BAE Systems is the world's largest producer of combat vehicles, having fielded more than any other company in the world (over 100,000). The company is the top supplier to the U.S. Army's Heavy Brigades, one of the largest suppliers to the U.S. Department of Defense and the second largest defense company in the world.
Northrop Grumman will serve as the C4ISR lead, responsible for integration of hardware and software, computers and communications equipment, sensors and sensor suites, and other functionality that enables 'plug and play', access across external networks and full spectrum situational awareness.
Northrop Grumman Corporation provides innovative systems, products, and solutions in aerospace, electronics, information systems, shipbuilding and technical services. Previous experience includes serving as a teammate on BAE Systems' Bradley and Paladin vehicle programs. Northrop Grumman is a world-class C4ISR provider and developer of the Army's premier battle command C2 system, deployed on more than 95,000 Army vehicles. The system, which has been successfully fielded for 16 years, forms the world's largest tactical network.
QinetiQ will provide the hybrid electric drive transmission, or E-X-Drive™ for the GCV. The hybrid electric drive propulsion system is one of the key enabling technologies that makes our vehicle the best solution for the Army. The hybrid electric drive propulsion system builds on decades of industry development, production and support in a wide range of applications. It allows the BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman GCV to offer exceptional force protection and mobility in a lower weight vehicle, meeting the demands of current operations while providing a robust platform for future technology integration and growth at low risk and cost.
QinetiQ uses its domain knowledge to provide technical advice to customers in the global aerospace, defence and security markets. QinetiQ's unique position enables it to be a trusted partner to government organisations, predominantly in the UK and the US, including defence departments, intelligence services and security agencies.
Bringing to GCV
MTU manufactures the Series 890, which is an extremely power dense family of 4–12 cylinder diesel engines. Within this series, we have selected the R6 engine for our GCV offering. This family of MTU diesel engines has been designed from the outset to meet the current and future demands of military vehicles for application in mechanical, electrical and hybrid drivetrains.
MTU is one of the world's leading manufacturers of large diesel engines and complete propulsion systems.
Saft will provide the GCV energy storage system using proven Lithium-Ion batteries. The Saft Lithium-Ion high power batteries provide immediately available power to the transmission, enabling acceleration and low speed maneuverability not available with a traditional system. The batteries also recover energy during braking to enhance fuel economy, like a hybrid car.
Saft is a world specialist and leader in the design and manufacture of high-tech batteries for industry.
The L3 Hydropneumatic Suspension Units (HSUs) and long stroke track tensioner provide improved ride quality at lower weight than a torsion bar equivalent. The HSUs are also completely externally mounted, preserving internal volume for the crew and squad.
L-3 Communications is the sixth largest defense company in the United States, and is a leader and prime defense contractor in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), secure communications, government services, training and simulation and aircraft modernization and maintenance.

I made this for a dinner party and it was very good. Because I wanted the juiciness from cooking with the skin on, I scored the skin and rendered a lot of the fat in a frying pan. I then grilled the breasts with skin on and then removed the skin for serving. It was a little time consuming but it worked well as I was a bit concerned about grilling with all that fat. The mushroom and asparagus salad was also good but I don't think it had quite enough truffle oil to really get the flavor. I served it all with a browned butter pecan rice from this site.
Grilled Duck with Warm Mushroom Salad and Truffle Vinaigrette

I didn't bring out a timer for the grill, so I overcooked the duck a bit. Past that, the dish was absolutely delicious! The mushroom and asparagus had tons of flavor and the marinade on the duck was so tasty. Check out my step by step instructions and photos at http://www.icancookthat.org/2012/05/grilled-duck-with-warm-mushroom-salad.html
KateSullivanGa Posted: 12/06/12
This was absolutely delicious! My husband, who is a light eater, cleaned his plate. He doesn't like asparagus, so I substituted green beans. They took longer than 2 minutes to cook, and I added a little wine for liquid. Next time, I'll partially steam the green beans before adding to the mushroom mixture. This is definitely a special dinner recipe.

Looks like Elton John wants to make sure his upcoming album The Diving Board gets decent shelf space in Walmart stores nationwide: he's performing at the retail giant's annual shareholders event in Arkansas next month.
Arkansas' 5NewsOnline.com reports that Elton will play the June 4 event in Fayetteville's Bud Walton Arena, and joining him will be singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran, who duetted with Elton at the Grammy Awards earlier this year.
The two British artists' performance will be part of the several days' worth of events that make up Walmart's shareholders week. Country star Luke Bryan will also perform during the week, as well as an as-yet-unannounced "special guest." Normally, whoever wins American Idol also sings at the Walmart shareholders event bash.
Walmart associates can buy tickets to these concerts starting on Wednesday; the general public can grab them starting May 30.

VIRGINIA BEACH - Willard Smith had five tours of duty in Vietnam as a Navy Seabee.
He turned to alcohol and ended up homeless. Decades later, he pours his efforts into helping homeless veterans in Hampton Roads.
Smitty, as everyone call him, is the executive director Vetshouse in Virginia Beach. The organization helps veterans get clean, get jobs and find stable housing.
"I have a passion for helping those who are less fortunate because that used to be me," he said.
In an early Memorial Day tribute, Dominion Virginia Power employees in Hampton Roads and across nine states put down their electrical tools and took up paint brushes and saws to help veterans' organizations.
At Vets House last week, volunteers paved a new driveway and did much-needed yard work and landscaping.
It was one of three projects in Hampton Roads that Dominion Foundation provided the labor and a $1,000 grant. The others: creating a therapeutic garden for the veteran patients at the Hampton VA Medical Center and building a fence and walkway at the Child Development Center at the Armed Services YMCA of Hampton Roads.
"Supporting veterans is an integral part of our mission year round," said Max Bartholomew, Dominion's regional manager of state and local affairs. "Many of our volunteers are also veterans. This is one small thing we can do to salute them for Memorial Day."
Back at Vetshouse, Smitty hosted a cook-out to thank you.
"It's the least I can do," he said. "We're really struggling in this economy. It's nice to know veterans are not forgotten."

Texas Considering Awarding Attorney Fees to Successful Malpractice Defendants?
While states such as New York, Tennessee, and North Carolina are considering caps on medical malpractice lawsuits, Texas Governor Rick Perry enacted a cap on non-economic losses (mainly pain and suffering) back in 2003. Perry's present goal goes further than caps on jury awards. He claims that, despite the cap, Texans are still being sued in frivolous lawsuits that can cost millions to defend. His idea? It's called "loser pays."
The "American Rule"
Governor Perry would like Texas courts to change the long established "American rule" about attorney fees. In the United States, each party to a lawsuit usually pays their own attorney fees, regardless of who wins or loses the case. Advocates of tort reform measures such as caps on jury awards have long argued that the American rule encourages frivolous lawsuits. Most medical malpractice victims do not have the financial resources necessary to pay for various legal expenses such as court costs and expert fees. Therefore, many attorneys agree to take on cases on a contingent fee basis. If the patient wins the case, the attorney is paid from any award the patient receives. This includes some element of risk for the attorney because if the case is lost, there is no payment of the attorney's fee. Critics complain that this allows claimants to start groundless lawsuits because they have nothing to lose. The hope is that the insurance company will settle the case rather than incur the expense of defending it in court. When claimants lose their cases, they do not have to pay their attorneys. Malpractice defendants, on the other hand, have to pay defense costs, whether they win or lose.
The "English Rule"
Perry's suggestion is to adopt the "English rule" for malpractice cases. In England, the party that loses the case has to pay the other side's attorney fees. The thinking is that if you run the risk of having to pay thousands of dollars in attorney fees, you will not risk bringing a frivolous lawsuit. Yet opponents of the English rule argue that it will prevent not only frivolous lawsuits, but that it will also frighten victims with legitimate claims into not filing lawsuits to protect their rights. Governor Perry's suggestion was made while on the campaign trail, and no legislation has been introduced as of yet. However, considering that Texas has led the way for some states regarding caps on jury verdicts, the discussion in that state of adoption of the English rule is troubling for medical malpractice victims.
