Early childhood development programs and services support children prior to their first year of schooling (Prep) with significant educational support needs arising from a disability, to develop skills and behaviours to maximise their participation in their future schooling.
A range of early childhood intervention services 29K is is available to support children with additional learning needs prior to school entry. Early Childhood Development Programs and Services provide support to children who require intensive, multidisciplinary programs.
Regions provide an array of early childhood programs and services to meet the needs of children with disability within their local context. This may include:
All children who access early childhood development programs and services will have an individualised program or service plan developed. The individualised plan will outline the teaching focus and support that is provided to the child.
As Education Queensland recognises Prep as the first year of schooling, Prep students with disability are supported through their local state school to enable them to access and participate in the full Prep program on the same basis as their peers. The array of supports provided to students with disability enrolled in state schools can be found on the disability policy page.
For more information about accessing an Early Childhood Development Program contact your local regional office.
Schools that have an early childhood development program are listed in the Directory of Special Education Programs in Queensland State Schools 589K.

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn October 27, 2006, at 1216 eastern daylight time, a Cirrus SR22, N969ES, registered to a private owner, operating as a 14 CFR Part 91 personal flight, collided with trees while maneuvering in the vicinity of Statesville Regional Airport, Statesville, North Carolina. The pilot had been cleared by air traffic control (ATC) for an instrument landing system approach (ILS) to runway 28. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed and an instrument flight plan (IFR) was filed. The airplane received substantial damage. The private pilot and one passenger received serious injuries. Two passengers were fatally injured. The flight originated from North Palm Beach County General Aviation Airport, West Palm Beach, Florida, on October 27, 2006, at 0900. The flight was en route to a visual flight rules (VFR) airfield, located at Lake Norman Airpark, Mooresville, North Carolina. The pilot diverted to Statesville, North Carolina, due to weather.Review of transcripts revealed the pilot contacted Charlotte Approach control at 1134 and requested the weather at Charlotte. The controller advised the pilot the weather was 600 broken,1200 overcast, visibility one and half miles. The pilot asked the controller what the weather was at his destination airport. The controller informed the pilot the weather at Concord Airport ten to 15 miles from his destination was 200 overcast, 2 miles visibility, and mist. The pilot asked the controller to change his destination to Statesville. The controller approved the request, and provided the pilot with radar vectors to Statesville. The controller informed the pilot he was number 4 for the approach, and advised the pilot the displaced threshold to runway 28 was 2,000 feet. In addition, the controller informed the pilot that the airplane ahead of him reported breaking out of the clouds 50 feet above minimums. The pilot acknowledged the transmission. At 1203, the controller informed the pilot he was 7 miles from Pegte intersection, maintain 3,000 feet until established on the final approach course, and the pilot was cleared for the ILS runway 28 approach. The pilot acknowledged the clearance at 1206, and there were no further recorded transmissions with the pilot.The pilot stated he received a full weather briefing from St. Petersburg, Florida, Lockheed-Martin Automated Flight Service Station for a weather briefing for the IFR flight to Mooresville, North Carolina. The weather was forecasted to be VFR upon his arrival. The ceiling was forecasted to be between 2,500 to 3,000 feet with rain showers and was not forecasted to decrease until between 1430 to 1500. The pilot stated he did not get any en-route weather updates. Before departing the pilot briefed the passengers on the emergency exits, use of restraint systems, and the Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS); however the pilot did not remove the safety pin on the CAPS before departing or during the flight. Upon arrival in the Charlotte area , the pilot stated he was handed off by ATC to Charlotte approach control, and he was instructed to descend. During the descent the pilot realized the weather at his destination airport may not be VFR. He requested permission from the controller to divert to Statesville. The controller approved his request and provided radar vectors to the ILS runway 28 final approach course. The pilot stated he was flying the airplane with the autopilot, and performed the before landing checks. The pilot extended the flaps to 50 percent and ultimately to 100 percent. The pilot stated he was not cleared by the controller for a circling approach or issued alternate missed approach procedures. The pilot remembered descending below the clouds on the approach, but could not remember any other events associated with the accident. Witness stated the airplane was observed on approach for runway 28 at Statesville Regional Airport. The airplane came out of the clouds in the vicinity of taxiway D and continued over the runway to taxiway F. An increase in engine power was heard and the airplane started a right turn and entered the clouds. The airplane was heard north of the airport and was observed again on the south side of the runway traveling from southeast to the northwest located just below the clouds, and crossed runway 28. The airplane entered the clouds and came out of the clouds north of Aviation Drive. The witnesses observed the airplane make a sharp bank to the right estimated at a 45-degree angle of bank followed by a 45-degree left bank. The nose of the airplane was observed to pitch down and the airplane collided with trees and the ground.PERSONNEL INFORMATIONReview of information on file with the FAA Airman's Certification Division, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, revealed the pilot was issued a private pilot certificate on June 20, 2003, with ratings for airplane single engine land, and instrument airplane. The pilot held a third class medical certificate issued on December 1, 2005, with the restriction "must have available glasses for near vision." The pilot attended Cirrus SR22 flight training contracted out to Wings Aloft by Cirrus Design from September 4, 2001, through September 7, 2001. The pilot received 7 hours of ground school and 8.7 hours of dual instruction. The curriculum called for 5 hours of ground school and 7.75 hours of dual instruction including 1.5 hours for the final flight evaluation. The pilot did not receive a final evaluation flight and was not awarded a completion certificate. The instructor pilot noted in his daily notes on September 8, 2006, "the pilot did not fly consistently to the performance standards. The pilot was behind the airplane and general finesse was lacking." The pilot's insurance company did not require a factory sign off. The pilots stated he received additional flight instruction after returning home from his flight instructor who attended the SR22 training with him. Review of the pilot's logbook revealed he has 717 total hours not including 3 hour and 16 minutes on the accident flight. The pilot has recorded 501 total flight hours in the SR22 of which 14 hours has been flown in the last 90 days and 5 hours has been flown in the last 30 days. The pilots last flight review and instrument proficiency check was conducted on June 25, 2005. The pilot's last recorded instrument flight was on June 26, 2006, and he has accumulated 51 hours of actual instrument flight time. The pilot has logged 92 hours of simulated instrument flight time. The pilot's last recorded flight was on October 18, 2006, in a Piper PA31. The pilot's last recorded flight in the SR22 before the accident flight was on October 4, 2006. The pilot's last recorded instrument approaches before the accident was on May 1, 2006, with a certified flight instructor.Further review of the pilot's logbook revealed in the previous 12-month period before the accident, the pilot had logged 8.0 hours of actual instrument flight time, and 3.8 hours of simulated instrument flight time. The simulated instrument flight time included 1.8 hours with an instructor, and 2.0 hours of simulated instrument flight time as PIC, however, no safety pilot was noted in the remarks section of the logbook. In addition, the pilot had logged 7 instrument approaches. Six approaches were logged during 1.8 hours of simulated instrument flight with a flight instructor. The remaining approach did not indicate in the logbook if the pilot flew in instrument or simulated flight conditions. In addition, the logbook did not reflect the type of approach that was flown. Logbook entries revealed the pilot flew 3 solo instrument approaches. One approach was flown on July 2, 2003, January 25, 2005, and the last approach was flown on June 2, 2006. None of the flights indicated if the flights were flown in instrument or simulated instrument flight conditions, and the type of approach flown was not identified. AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONReview of the Cirrus Design records revealed the pilot purchased the airplane from Cirrus Design on September 4, 2001.The last recorded annual inspection was conducted on July 14, 2006, at Hobbs time 577.4. The Hobbs time at the crash site was 598.3 hours. The airplane has flown 20.9 hours since the annual inspection. The altimeter, static pressure system, and transponder tests were completed on June 8, 2005. Examination of the gyro instruments revealed no anomalies. The airplane was topped off with 42.7 gallons of 100 low lead fuel at Landmark Aviation, North Palm Beach County General Airport, West Palm Beach, Florida, on October 27, 2006. AERODROME INFORMATIONReview of the approach chart for the "ILS or LOC/DME RWY 28 Statesville Regional Airport (SVH)" revealed the minimums for the approach is decision height 1,166 feet, and 3/4 mile visibility. The airport elevation is 968 feet and the touchdown elevation is 966 feet. The weather at the time of the accident was 300 feet overcast with a visibility of 1 1/2 mile. The missed approach procedure requires the pilot to climb to 1,700 feet, followed by a climbing left turn to 3,400 feet on a heading of 080-degrees until intercepting the Charlotte 024 radial to PEGTE intersection and the Statesville 12.2 DME and hold. The minimums for the circling approach is decision height 1,420 feet and 1 mile visibility.METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATIONThe NWS Surface Analysis Chart at 1100 depicted the general synoptic conditions prior to the accident. The chart depicted a low-pressure system with a central sea level pressure of 998-hectopascal (hPa) over the Arkansas and Tennessee border, with an occluded front extending south-southeast through Tennessee to Mississippi, where the triple point was located. A cold front extended to the south-southwest from this point across Mississippi, eastern Louisiana, into the Gulf of Mexico. A warm front extended from the triple point, eastward across Mississippi, southern Alabama and Georgia, and then northeastward along the South Carolina coast. The accident site was located north of the warm front, and ahead or to the east of the occluded front in the cool air mass sector. The regional NWS Surface Analysis Chart at 1100 depicted a warm front along the Georgia, and Carolina coasts. The station models across eastern Georgia, South Carolina, and western and central North Carolina, and eastern Tennessee indicated continuous light to moderate rain, fog, and overcast skies. The closest station model from Charlotte, North Carolina, to the south of the accident site indicated a wind from the east at 5 knots, continuous rain, overcast sky cover, temperature of 52-degrees Fahrenheit (F), dew point temperature of 50 degrees F.The NWS regional radar mosaic chart at 1212 depicted a large area of echoes associated with rain showers extending over Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, eastern Tennessee, and Kentucky. The accident occurred at the Statesville Regional Airport (KSVH), at an elevation of 968 feet msl, located 9 miles north-northwest of Lake Norman Airpark. The airport was equipped with an Automated Weather Observation System (AWOS-3) and reported the following conditions surrounding the time of the accident:KSVH 1201, automated observation was, wind from 040 degrees at 3 knots, visibility 1 1/4 miles in light rain, ceiling overcast at 300 feet, temperature and dew point 46-degrees F, and altimeter 30.01 inches of Mercury (Hg). The Piedmont Triad International Airport, Greensboro, North Carolina, located 53 miles south west of Statesville wind profile indicated light surface winds, with winds from the south-southwest slowly veering to the west through 500-hPa with wind speeds increasing to 35 knots. The maximum wind was identified at below the tropopause at 43,750 feet with wind from 265 degrees at 117 knots. No strong vertical wind shears were identified below 18,000 feet. The sounding data supported low stratiform clouds. No strong vertical wind shears were identified in the sounding.The Geostationary Operations Environmental Satellite number 12 (GOES-12) data was obtained from the NOAA's Comprehensive Large Array-data Stewart System (CLASS) and displayed on the National Transportation Safety Board's Man-computer Interactive Data Access System (McIDAS) workstation. The GOES-12 infrared and visible satellite imagery depicted an extensive area of stratiform clouds extending over the region. No cumulonimbus clouds or thunderstorms were identified in the vicinity of the accident site.The closest NWS Weather Surveillance Radar-1988, Doppler (WSR-88D) was Roanoke, Virginia. The 1214 base reflectivity image depicted echoes ranging from 5 to 30 dbz or light intensity echoes extending over the region, with echoes of 5 to 10 dbz over the accident site.The following pilot reports (PIREPs) were recorded over North Carolina surrounding the time of the accident. The reports are in standard format, but in narrative form, versus standard code and abbreviations. The reports are as follows: Raleigh-Durham (RDU) routine pilot report (UA); Over - 35 miles southwest of RDU; Time - 0953; Flight level - 11,000 feet; Type aircraft - Boeing 737 airliner (B737); Weather - moderate rain; Turbulence - negative (smooth); Remarks - instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).Greensboro (GSO) routine pilot report (UA); Over - 1 mile northeast of GSO; Time - 1201; Flight level - 400 feet; Type aircraft - British Aerospace (H25B) business jet; Remarks - cloud bases at 400 feet.Raleigh-Durham (RDU) routine pilot report (UA); Over - Sand Hills (SDZ); Time - 1301; Flight level - 5,000 feet; Type aircraft - Cirrus (SR22) high performance single engine airplane; Temperature - 9 degrees C; Wind - 193 degrees at 17 knots; Icing - negative; Remarks - instrument meteorological conditions with a smooth ride.Charlotte (CLT) routine pilot report (UA); Over - route between CLT to Knoxville, TN (TYS); Time - 1352; Flight level - 22,000 feet; type aircraft - Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ2) multiengine commuter aircraft; Icing - negative; Remarks - instrument meteorological conditions encountered the entire trip.All the pilot reports were from pilots operating on IFR flight plans and indicated icing conditions above 13,000 feet, extensive cloud layers, with IMC conditions. The NWS Aviation Weather Center (AWC) located in Kansas City, Missouri, issues the area forecasts at regular intervals and issues specials reports as necessary usually in the form of an AIRMET. The synoptic section of the forecast indicated that a strong low-pressure system was moving northeastward and was expected to be in central Kentucky by 2300. A warm front extended across southern Georgia was expected to lift northeastward into southern North Carolina and extreme northern South Carolina by 2300. The forecast for the North Carolina Piedmont was for broken clouds at 5,000 feet msl, overcast at 10,000 feet, with tops to 25,000 feet, with occasional light rain developing. From 2300, overcast at 2,500 feet with visibility 3 to 5 miles in light rain and mist. From 1300, overcast clouds at 1,500 feet, visibility 3 to 5 miles in light to moderate rain and mist, with widely embedded thunderstorms developing with cumulonimbus cloud tops to 40,000 feet. The NWS had a full series of Airman's Meteorological Information (AIRMETs) issued at 0945 and current until 1600 for the region for IFR, mountain obscuration, turbulence, and icing conditions, and the accident site was located within the borders of these advisories.AIRMET Sierra update 2 issued at 0945for IFR and mountain obscuration conditions, valid until 1600. Occasional ceilings below 1,000 feet and/or visibility below 3 miles in precipitation and mist, conditions. Mountains occasional obscured by clouds, precipitation, and mist, with conditions continuing beyond 2000 through 2200. The closest Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) to the accident site was from Hickory Regional Airport (KHKY) located approximately 20 miles west of the accident site. However, no forecast was current when the pilot of N969ES obtained his preflight weather briefing. The forecast current at the time of the accident was issued at 1116 and was the fourth amendment from the initial 0749 issued forecastThe forecast for KHKY indicated from 1100, winds calm, visibility 2 miles in light rain and mist, ceiling broken at 900 feet, overcast at 2,800 feet, temporary conditions between 1100 and 1300 of visibility 3 miles in light rain and mist, scattered clouds at 800 feet, ceiling overcast at 2,500 feet. From 1300 through 2000, winds from 070 degrees at 8 knots, visibility 2 miles in moderate rain and mist, ceiling overcast at 400 feet.The next closest TAF location was for Charlotte/Douglas International Airport (KCLT) located approximately 30 miles south of the accident site. The forecast available to the pilot of N969ES at the time of his filing his IFR flight plan was issued at 0127 and was for the following conditions:From 1200, winds 070-degrees at 6 knots, visibility 5 statute miles, light rain and mist, ceiling overcast at 1,000 feet.The next scheduled forecast was issued at 0713, with little change: From 1100, winds 050-degrees at 5 knots, visibility better than 6 statue miles, in light rain, ceiling overcast at 2,500 feet. From 1300, winds 060-degrees at 6 knots, visibility 5 statue miles, in light rain and mist, ceiling overcast at 1,200 feet.A series of amendments were issued. The forecast at 0909 was:From 1100, winds 050-degrees at 5 knots, visibility 5 statue miles, in light rain and mist, ceiling overcast at 1,200 feet.From 1500, winds 070-degrees at 8 knots, visibility 2 statue miles, in moderate rain and mist, ceiling overcast at 400 feet.The forecast at 1026 was:From 1200, winds 070-degrees at 8 knots, visibility 2 statue miles, in moderate rain and mist, ceiling overcast at 400 feet.The forecast at 1131 and current at the time of the accident was:Issued at 1131, from 1200, winds 100-degrees at 5 knots, visibility 11/2 miles, in light rain and mist, ceiling overcast at 400 feet. Temporarily between 1200 to 1600, visibility 2 statute miles, ceiling overcast at 700 feet.The pilot of N969ES filed an instrument flight plan and then obtained an abbreviated weather briefing from the St. Petersburg Automated Flight Service Station (AFSS) between 0649 and 0659. The pilot did not list an alternate airport. The briefer used the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport (KCLT) terminal forecast (issued at 0127), which expected MVFR conditions until 1200, then IFR conditions with visibility 2 miles in moderate rain, with ceilings overcast at 500 feet. The pilot acknowledged the briefer and indicated "we should be down by noon, if nothing goes wrong and we should be good". There were no reports of the pilot of N969ES getting any updates from the FAA's enroute flight advisory service (EFAS). WRECKAGE INFORMATIONThe main wreckage of the airplane was located in a wooded area adjacent to Statesville Regional Airport, Statesville, North Carolina, north of Aviation Drive in a ravine on an embankment. Examination of the crash site revealed the airplane collided with 75 foot tree tops in a nose down, left wing low attitude. The airplane continued through the trees on a heading of 116-degrees magnetic, and came to rest on a heading of 174-degrees magnetic at an elevation of 908 feet. The crash debris line was 166 feet long.The upper and lower engine cowling separated from the airframe. The engine separated from the firewall and was located to the right in front of the right wing. The right aft engine mount leg and the left forward and aft engine mount legs were separated. The forward right engine mount assembly separated from the forward isolation mount. All engine accessories remained attached to the engine except for the oil cooler and the stand by generator. The nose landing gear wheel was separated from the nose gear assembly.The propeller assembly remained attached to the propeller crankshaft flange.

Record Icon not showing when pressing record in Live TV
Hi Guys
When I am watching Live TV and press the record button on my remote or through the interface using the mouse I am no longer getting the red icon indicating that recording has started but the program is actually recording. I use to get it but for some reason it now no longer pops up. Has anybody else had this issue or have any ideas what may be causing it and how I can get that indicator to pop up again?
Many thanks

Basically, it could be a registry error or maybe you must reset WMC and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks Vertex but that is not the red icon that I am referring to. The red icon appears in the system tray when I record as I already have show taskbar notifications ticked. The red icon I am talking about is the little red ball that will actually pop up above the channel information when you press record whilst watching Live TV. It use to appear but now for some reason no longer appears. The same thing is happening to a friend and their Media Center.

You know what, I love the little red icon too.
When you had the "show taskbar notifications" option on Media Center's settings ticked, did you click "Save" after it???
You can also click the arrow on the side tray and Customize, it should show you a list of the notification icons that recently appeared and if you see the red recording icon from there, just make set it to "Show Icons and Notifications" and OK so it shows everytime. Just to be clear, this "Show Icons and Notifications" I am saying is not the one on Media Center's settings...
Try scheduling a recording again, and whilst its recording, click the arrow on the taskbar and look at the square if it shows the red icon. If it does, you can simply drag it towards the side tray and that will show it everytime when its active.
If those did not work, you may consider setting up Media Center again of maybe this is a registry error.

Computer files stored accurately on DNA in new breakthrough Scientists have recorded data including Shakespearean sonnets and an MP3 file on strands of DNA, in a breakthrough which could see millions of records stored on a handful of molecules rather than computer drives.
By translating computerised files into DNA similar to that found in plants and animals, the researchers claim it is possible to store a billion books' worth of data for thousands of years in just a small test tube. Although the method is expensive, it could still be much more efficient than hard drives or magnetic tape for long-term storage of large sets of data such as government records, the scientists said. Within a decade, they expect the technique to have become cheap enough that DNA storage could become cost-efficient for the public to store lifelong keepsakes like wedding videos. Dr Nick Goldman of the European Bioinformatics Institute, who led the study, said: "We already know that DNA is a robust way to store information because we can extract it from bones of woolly mammoths, which date back tens of thousands of years, and make sense of it. "It's also incredibly small, dense and does not need any power for storage, so shipping and keeping it is easy." (via Computer files stored accurately on DNA in new breakthrough - Telegraph)

The glory of the nation rests in the character of her men. And character comes from boyhood. Thus every boy is a challenge to his elders.Herbert Hoover

In a scheme of policy which is devised for a nation, we should not limit our views to its operation during a single year, or even for a short term of years. We should look at its operation for a considerable time, and in war as well as in peace.Henry Clay
America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.Georges Clemenceau
"In God We Trust." It is the choicest compliment that has ever been paid us, and the most gratifying to our feelings. It is simple, direct, gracefully phrased: it always sounds well In God We Trust. I don't believe it would sound any better if it were true. And in a measure it is true half the nation trusts in Him. That half has decided it.Samuel Langhorne Clemens
These cruel, wanton, indiscriminate bombings of London are, of course, a part of Hitlers invasion plans. He hopes, by killing large numbers of civilians, and women and children, that he will terrorise and cow the people of this mighty imperial city ... Little does he know the spirit of the British nation, or the tough fibre of the Londoners.Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
Terrorists have already attacked our Nation once. There is every reason to believe that they will try again - possibly with a weapon of mass destruction; a weapon that could be smuggled into our portsMike Fitzpatrick

Now, the American people have got to go about their business. We cannot let the terrorists achieve the objective of frightening our nation to the point where we don't conduct business, where people don't shop.George Walker Bush
The pioneer spirit is still vigorous within this nation. Science offers a largely unexplored hinterland for the pioneer who has the tools for his task. The rewards of such exploration both for the Nation and the individual are great. Scientific progress is one essential key to our security as a nation, to our better health, to more jobs, to higher standard of living, and to our cultural progress.Vannevar Bush
No nation is fit to set in judgment upon any other nationWoodrow Wilson
Nation state as a fundamental unit of man's organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation-stateZbigniew Kazimierz Brzezinski
Our sufferings have taught us that no nation is sufficient unto itself, and that our prosperity depends in the long run, not upon the failure of our neighbors but their successes.John Buchan, 1st Baron Tweedsmuir
The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and ontrolled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced. If the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt, people must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistanceMarcus Tullius Cicero
Thus out of small beginnings greater things have been produced by His hand that made all things of nothing, and gives being to all things that are; and, as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many, yea in some sort to our whole nation.William Bradford
It is the natural desire of each nation to use the other as an instrument of its own purposes and policies. By dint of our mutual dependence, your influence is amplified by our power. Our power is made more responsible and more effective by your influence.Kingman Brewster, Jr.
France will always be a great nation.Napoleon Bonaparte
Sherry...a silly, sickly compound, the use of which will transform a nation, however bold and warlike by nature, into a race of sketchers, scribblers, and punsters, in fact into what Englishmen are at the present day.George Henry Borrow

I don't get it. Tell me what is being cut. All that is happening is the rate of spending INCREASE is being reduced from 4% to 2%. Why can't DoD or any other Federal agency do what they did last year with 2% more money? I say, bring it on. These automatic reductions in the rate of incease are not what is needed to get our out-of-control government back in line, but it is better than nothing. Stop talking about non-existent cuts.

Where does the Standard Model of physics come from?
The Standard Model of particle physics is a triumph of science. It's a collection of 17 particles, and four forces. Physicists like to call it "elegant" but to the untrained eye, it looks anything but. Where does this all come from? In this week's Ask a Physicist, we'll find out.
A few weeks ago, we had a contest to come up with the some of the most interesting questions about the universe. This week's winner is Koen, who wins a copy of my new book by posing the rather deep question:
We have this amazing Standard Model to explain what the fundamental particles are. What is the mechanism 'behind the curtain' that generates these laws?

A photographic notebook from Robert Scott's ill-fated Antarctic expedition has been found after a century trapped in the ice of the frozen continent, New Zealand's Antarctic Heritage Trust said.
New Zealand's prime minister laid out a three-year government agenda Tuesday that includes returning the country's books to surplus, conducting a vote on whether to change the nation's flag, and tightening the rules on terrorist fighters.
New Zealand will tighten laws to address the potential threat posed by "foreign terrorist fighters" returning to the country from conflict hotspots such as Iraq and Syria, Prime Minister John Key said Monday.
The New Zealand dollar sank Monday after the central bank disclosed it conducted its biggest sell-off of the currency in seven years to lower an exchange rate that is squeezing exporters.
The New Zealand government's handling of a fragile economy was the "overwhelming" reason for its third election victory, Prime Minister John Key said Sunday after his party won a historic majority and he eyed a fourth triumph.
New Zealand's conservative Prime Minister John Key swept to a historic election victory on Saturday, securing a third term as voters ignored campaign allegations of dirty tricks and mass spying.
Scientists said Tuesday a female colossal squid weighing an estimated 350 kilograms (770 lbs) and thought to be only the second intact specimen ever found was carrying eggs when discovered in the Antarctic.
New Zealand's central bank left interest rates on hold at 3.5 percent on Thursday, ending a run of four straight hikes.
New Zealanders keen to view hacked photos of naked celebrities are being blamed for a nationwide Internet meltdown involving the country's main provider.
A homeless man who allegedly shot dead two women and seriously wounded a third when he opened fire in a New Zealand welfare office was arrested Monday after a seven-hour manhunt.

Well everyone, I am headed today to Wooster, Ohio for my performance tomorrow night at their annual music and literary arts festival, Wooster Jam. I am on at 8:30 tomorrow evening at the literary arts stage with a half hour set. Stop by and say hi!
Lindsey Vella (my road trip mate and good friend from the IWW) and I are going to compose a piece on the road just for the occasion and will be performing it together! BONUS! If you don't know her, you should. She's a dangerous cocktail of fabulousness and grit. (See why we're friends?)
Of course, no road trip to that part of the country is complete without a hipster dance party in a shady (?) part of Detroit Saturday night, so that's happening. Let me know if you're in the area!

- Slower and Noisier Than UsualOpenTablePlatinumMemberVIPDined on 10/9/2014We have been to Season's 52 many times. This time was a disappointment. The noise level was louder than it's ever been due to the volume of the lounge singer's speakers. Service was much slower than usual. On a Thursday night, it took forever for the waiter serve us. For example, it took so long for the waiter to take our order that the appetizers and salad arrived and we had to put the menus on the floor while we ate. And it shouldn't take 10 minutes for the waiter to process your credit card. On a positive note, the food was great. Up to the usual high standard.

Made our reservations for a table of 5, but once the day arrived it went to 4. Upon arriving told the hostess that our group number had changed, she said no problem the extra chair could be for the presents. Was surprised that they didn't want to move our party to a different smaller table!! Had a personal message on the table waiting for me, so sweet and thoughtful. Our server was just the best as my girlfriends trickled in, she just so sweet and said to sit back and enjoy the afternoon, and that's what we just did for 2 hours. I always tell people to go to "Seasons 52" they will love it.Special Features:

I had an issue with the manager regarding a person doing some unhealthy things. I saw him speaking to her but did not see what I reported being fixed. To be fair, we left the bar area and was seated so they may have taken care of that issue. I would still go back to eat there again though.

- OK, not as good as usualPlanoDinersVIPDined on 10/4/2014We generally love this place but had a lackluster experience with this visit. Our table was not ready at the time of our reservation, and we were not seated with our preferred server despite (a) having requested it in the reservation and (b) the preferred server speaking with the Maitre d' when she saw us in the waiting area. Ordinarily, it wouldn't have been the biggest deal, but the quality of service from the server we did have was unfortunately subpar.

The interactions of the menu between the appetizer selection and entres were fantastic. The menu is themed based on the season, attending in fall is was root vegetable themed. There was a three mushroom flat bread which included a good combination of pungent and rich mushrooms with subtle flavors that cut the richness of the mushrooms. We had duck tacos utilizing butter tacos as opposed to a traditional outer shell. The duck was sublime. The burger that was ordered was on par with really burger found at a restaurant not specializing in burgers.

If you want more, just try another one. The birthday person gets one complementary. The service is always warm, friendly, and efficient. Unfortunately, we sat next to a loud table this time. Still had a great time.Special Features:

This makes me want to tear my hair out. Remember the Nebraska judge who banned the word 'rape' from a rape trial? (You know, so the accuser was forced to use words like "intercourse" and "sex" to describe the attack. Charming.) Well, according to an appeals court, that's all fine and dandy.
The lawsuit argued that Lancaster County District Judge Jeffre Cheuvront violated Tory Bowen's constitutional rights in barring her from using certain words during her testimony in the trial, in which she said Pamir Safi sexually assaulted her.
While Cheuvront barred Bowen from using phrases and words like "rape kit" and "victim" in her testimony, he allowed Safi's attorneys to use words such as "sex" and "intercourse" when describing the encounter between Safi and Bowen.
Even worse, of course, was that the jury wasn't told about the banned words.
Dahlia Lithwick at Slate had this to say when news of the case first came out: "The fact that judges are not rushing to ban similarly conclusory legal language from trial testimony—presumably one can still say murder or embezzlement on the stand—reflects not just the fraught nature of language but also the fraught nature of rape prosecutions. We as a society still somehow think rape is different—either because we assume the victims are especially fragile or because we assume they are particularly deceitful. Is the word rape truly more inflammatory to a jury than the word robbery?" Indeed.
Bowen (who made her name public), has been an inspiration through this disgustingness. First, she refused to abide by the judge's rule: "I refuse to call it sex, or any other word that I'm supposed to say, encouraged to say on the stand, because to me that's committing perjury. What happened to me was rape, it was not sex."
Then, after there was a mistrial (because of the controversy over the word ban), Bowen sued. I'm just so disappointed that it's come to this end. But kudos to Bowen for not taking shit – she is one amazing woman.

According to a report released today by Toronto's C.D. Howe Institute, closing the gap between American and Canadian retail prices will come from changes in national policy rather than putting pressure on retailers.
The Bank of Canada is weighing in on the problem of the Canada-U.S. retail price gap, suggesting the vexing phenomenon may not be as persistent, inevitable or irrational as it may seem.
The Senate finance committee has made four recommendations aimed at reducing the Canada-U.S. price gap, in a report released Wednesday after months of investigation.

Cardiff Crown Court dismisses SFO conspiracy case against Guildhall Chambers silk
19 February 2014
Just over two years ago Wales celebrated a new voice for its people. Devolution created the Welsh National Assembly, offering the country a level of independence not seen since the 1830s. But for the Welsh bar, the impact of devolution has been limited. There is only a small amount of work emanating from the assembly itself, and while the addition of a Mercantile Court is welcome, there is mounting concern at the amount of work that continues to be shipped off-circuit.
"It's a chicken and egg situation," says Huw Davies, senior clerk at Cardiff set 30 Park Place. "Local law firms claim that we don't have the expertise, and then they refuse to let us prove them wrong."
Philip Howell-Richardson, head of litigation at Morgan Cole, says: "We don't want to take work off-circuit - it doesn't make sense to do so, but sometimes you have no option. We have to provide a high level of service and experience to our clients, and if that can't be fulfilled locally, we have to look to London."
Crispin Cormack of Swansea set Angel Chambers is also trying to prevent work leaving home turf. "We've tried widening the eyes of solicitors," he says. "We've tried telling them they don't have to send briefs to London, but they seem to think we can't cope with the work."
This message, though, is far from falling on deaf ears, with a string of leading figures now championing the cause. Senior presiding judge of the circuit John Thomas, resident judge of the Cardiff Civil Justice Centre Graham Jones and Mercantile Court judge Nicholas Chambers QC are among those in favour of Wales theoretically representing itself.
Consolidation is widely regarded as the best way for the local bar to offer specialist teams and to protect its long-term future. Temple was created out of the merger between Cardiff set 32 Park Place and Newport-based Temple Chambers in September 1999 - it now has 41 tenants and posts an annual turnover in the region of £3.5m. This set, however, will be dwarfed if the proposed merger between Numbers 9 and 30 Park Place is completed. Senior clerk at 9 Park Place Jim Williams says it is an exciting time. This year three tenants were awarded silk - a first in Welsh history - and the three are now looking forward to the completion of the deal. "We're hopeful that the merger will be completed by the end of this month," says Williams. "It will help us build on what we've already achieved. Within 5-10 years I expect there'll be two supersets in Cardiff. I also think those chambers in Pontypridd will be absorbed. Although they're surviving, they can't expand on their own."
Chambers in Swansea also recognise that consolidation is inevitable. Gwyn Davies, senior clerk at Pendragon Chambers, says: "There should only really be one big set in Swansea - the only problem is that so many people don't get on, leaving the reality of that happening as being very slim."
Cormack at Angel Chambers says: "Swansea would do well to have just two [sets] in the future. In today's market you can't stagnate, and those looking to expand will have to look to other sets as there's not enough work to go it alone."
The tightening market is making it increasingly difficult for chambers to offer future barristers a pupillage. "I get letters all the time from desperate people wanting pupillages, all scrambling together for the same few opportunities," says Judith Taylor, clerk at Carmarthen chambers 30 Spilman Street. "Five people recently completed a pupillage at one of the big Cardiff sets, and they couldn't give all of them tenancies, so instead of picking one or two, they had to let all of them go. It's a terrible situation."
It's a view supported by Brian Simpson, tenant at Pontypridd set Phoenix Chambers. He cut his teeth as a junior barrister in London before joining the ranks in Wales. "The standard of the junior bar is deteriorating with the growth in solicitor advocates. They're getting to do less, and find earning a living very difficult," he says.
Leader of the circuit Patrick Harrington QC recognises the changes, but pledges to confront them and to continue "to iron five court shirts every Sunday". He says that, given the number of changes afoot, the circuit remains buoyant. "There's a good spirit at the moment. Instead of fighting change, we're keen to embrace and adapt to it," he says.
"I think we're more cohesive now than at any point in the past."
Not everyone is convinced. Julie Vallack, a barrister at St David's chambers in Swansea, says: "We're struggling in every area. Graduated fees in family law are causing grave concern, and we recognise the difficulties."
One thing that has come to fruition, and which is most certainly pushing Wales forward, is the addition of its own mercantile commercial court. A significant step, the Mercantile Court provides the final stage in providing Wales and Chester with a full range of civil courts.
Now 18 months old, it represents the changing face of Cardiff in particular, which is attracting corporate investment like never before. The National Assembly and a booming development fund have laid the foundations for an increase in civil and commercial work.
Crucially important to the success of the court is the reputation of its judge. Nicholas Chambers QC is held in high regard by both the bar and local solicitors.
"He's already shown he's more than capable. He's undertaken the challenge and proven he can give the court the reputation it needs," says Howell-Richardson.
There is also confidence that his leadership will lead to a steady improvement in the quality and service of the local bar.
"He's a very strong leader, and you can see that already in the way he encourages everyone to develop their experience," claims Harrington.
So, what is the best way forward for the Welsh bar? Perhaps Howell-Richardson has the answer. "What Cardiff lacks most is a civil set," he says. "There's too much dependence and focus placed on criminal work, and that leaves chambers lacking the level of expertise we look for. We need direction on difficult points of law, and unfortunately there are few who can provide this. A set of civil specialists would help turn this around."
With half of the country's 300-odd barristers based there, Cardiff is the obvious centre for the legal profession in Wales. There are four sets, although that will become just three if the merger of 9 Park Place and 30 Park Place is completed as expected later this month. Most work is general common law - crime, civil and family - although there is some commercial work, handled mainly by 9 and 33 Park Place. The addition of the Mercantile Court is also giving this area a boost.
Second only to Cardiff, the city accommodates four chambers, but is dominated by three. Iscoed is the largest with 31 tenants, although this may not necessarily be the case for long - rumours of a merger between the leading sets are rife. Swansea has much more of a focus on core areas of work - civil, crime and family - than in Cardiff, with fewer specialists. It is fairly buoyant, but finds it needs to compete for work with Cardiff.
Chester (England)
The north of Wales is serviced by three sets in Chester. The biggest is Nicholas Street Chambers, which houses 30 tenants, including three silks. The Chester area accounts for around 20 per cent of Welsh barristers. There has been some talk of Wales wanting to break away from Chester on the circuit, but this has been discounted after years of working successfully hand in hand.
The rest of Wales
Two sets in Pontypridd and one in Carmarthen service other local solicitors. They are much smaller than those in Cardiff or Swansea, with five or less tenants in each. They struggle for work more and are reliant on local contacts. There is much less scope for expansion and some say it would not come as a shock if the Pontypridd sets in particular followed Newport's Temple Chamber's lead by becoming amalgamated into a larger set.

I agree... CB Bucknor and Angel Hernandez are terrible !!
I think the results would be different a few weeks ago. More than anything, this tells me that the players do like him a lot.
I imagine the players feel bad for him too. He took responsibility and from what was said, he's well liked on the field.

I was a girl who cut her hair short Because I love to be different and not impress.
They called me freak and spit and I just smiled on the outside but inside I wasn't
My lover brought me comfort she loved my short hair she loved more than the world did
When we kissed nothing else matter when we were together nothing else mattered. If love
was all we had love was all we wanted and because of that nothing else mattered to girls
in love
