I started my service with time warner cable in august 2010. As i was new in US i been asked for 50$ deposit which I paid. I had been told that I will get that deposit back once I provide my SSN number or I disconnect the service.
I used the internet service for around 4 months. This was no contract plan with $34.99/month for 12 months. Now I moved out of North Carolina so I closed the service (18th Dec 2010) and also returned the modem. I have been told in store that I will get my deposit back. After few days (today 30th Dec 2010) I contacted them for my new mailing address so that they can send the check which will anyways will take 4-5 weeks as per them.
When I inquired about how much amount I will get they said that I won't be getting the deposit back as I did not complete the 11 month period. I do not understand what it has got to do with my deposit. They can withheld my deposit for any such reason. As I have paid my bills on time. Paid all required charges and also submitted the hardware in good condition.
They should return my deposit of 50$ back. Please help me where I can place a more authorized complaint and also direct me towards federal authorities who can address this kind of issue. I am living in NJ now.

text: The The World of Perilous Traps!; Green Lantern vs. the Power Ring! wiki last edited by MoonBoi on 01/16/14 12:34PM View full history The World of Perilous Traps!-(Part 1 and 2) Hal Jordan is telling Tom Kalmaku about his latest adventure for Tom's "Casebook of Green Lantern". Hal tells about his mission to Kyrba where he was subduing a race of sub-humans, everything seem to be going easy but as the last sub-human tries to get away one of Green Lanterns blasts misses and going wide. He is able to subdue the last sub-human but the miss still bothers him.Tom tries to ask a question but Hal yells at him "Let me think." This is when when a wave of energy flies out of the ring and paralyzes Tom. Hal then realizes the wave effected Carol, Dusty and Frank, who were in the next room. Hal tries to unparalyze them but he can't. Frustrated and angered Hal takes off the ring and throws it to the ground.Sinestro then appears and taunts Hal. The rouge telaports the ring away and transport Hal to Qward. Once Hal is trapped on Qward, Sinestro reveals he was the one that mind controlled Hal into paralyzing his friends. He then revealed that the missed blast on Kyrba was actually the blast that freed Sinestro from his last prison.Sinestro's promoter Magot, explains that they teleported Hal to Qward so that Sinestro could win a contest proving who is the evilest being. To win Sinestro needs to devise inescapable trap for Hal. But once Sinestro reveals that his plan is to shrink Hal down to pocket size and trap Hal in amber can keep him in his pocket, Hal reveals he never really got rid of his ring.Hal easily defeats the Qwards and shrinks Sinestro to pocket size and uses his own trap against him. Hal then teleports back to earth and unparalyzes his friends. Once he frees Tom, he is able to ask his question which is, if Hal thought maybe Sinestro was behind his misses blast on Kyrba. This when Hal tells Tom he is right and Sinestro won't be a problem again because he is now small and trapped in Hal's pocket.Green Lantern Vs the Power Ring- Hal and Tom fly out to the desert to test the limits of Hal's Green Lantern ring. Their first test is how far Hal can be from the ring and still control it. They learn 100yds is the limit. Then they leave the ring outside a cave and go inside to see if he could still control it, but first he commands the ring to send him mental images of what it sees ever few minutes.Once inside the cave Hal learns he can still control the ring through rock and earth, but then there is a cave in. When Hal and Tom get out the ring is missing, it turns out while they were inside the cave Bill Baggett came across the ring and caused a landslide that temporary trapped Hal and Tom. Bill not knowing what he had found put on the ring and "wished" for a meal, which appeared. He then wished to fly to town, which the ring did.Now out of the cave Hal got a mental image from the ring showing Bill causing trouble in the near by town. Hal and Tom take a plane to the town, where Hal tries to stop Bill. Bill is able to keep Hal at bay until Hal is able to use a yellow sign as a shield. He is then able to get within 100yds and use the ring to knock out Bill.Hal turns Bill in to the proper authorities and Hal and Tom head home now knowing the limits of Hal's ring.

This page contains CFSR information relevant to the reviews conducted between 2015 and 2018.
Rounds 1 and 2 of the CFSRs
This page contains information for the reviews conducted between 2001 and 2010.
Promising Approaches
This section provides information about innovative efforts in child welfare implemented by States to meet the needs of children and families. These approaches are recognized as potential contributions toward good child welfare practice.

The FSB-150 walk-behind saw is an air-powered unit for cutting concrete and asphalt pavement for street repair, utility work, and other projects. The machine has a 3,300-rpm air motor, with a gearbox design for increased power and torque. It cuts to a depth of 7 in when paired with a 20-in blade, and it can cut wet or dry. Because it weighs only 110 lbs, the saw is highly portable and relatively easy to handle.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Great Southern Hotel Melbourne
Adequate, though not exciting
The superior twin double we booked on is huge. Being the "top tier" of the rate, however, we find it strange that breakfast was not included. Anyway, there are decent cafes everywhere in Melbourne and we have no difficulties whatsoever. Room is clean, furniture a bit dated but functional, service is OK, the only down side is the shower. I was barely able to get my body wet with this poorly-designed shower head, while it kept spreading water drops over my face and head. (No shower cap provided, bring your own if necessary.) Location is great, tram stops right in front, 10 mins walk fr Sky Bus terminal. All tours pick up from the Holiday Inn on Flinders a few steps from Hotel Enterprize.
Bad encounter
My friends and I stayed at the hotel from 22 Nov to 28 Nov 05. Although the location of the hotel is good, we can't say the same for the staff. They were very unprofessional and unhelpful in attending to our requests. They even misplaced (lost) a document which we placed under their care!
We wouldn't recommend the hotel to our friends.
Wouldn't stay here again
We stayed here for 4 nights in November and were very disappointed. The room bore no resemblance to the budget room on the web site. It was old, felt grubby, furniture was very dated, window was dirty, and out of the 2 lights in the room, only one worked. You would think housekeeping would have noticed. When the other one blew 2 days later, we had to wait until the next day for them to get hold of another bulb!
However, although the bathroom was very dated too, the shower was powerful and this was a blessing.
We were pleased with ourselves as we had booked ahead months adn got a very good price. In hindsight I should have realised there was a catch to it and that we would get the worst room available.
Great handy hotel for melbourne
yes have stayed at the hotel on a couple of occasions while visiting melbourne great for the tourist handy for all transport in and out of melboune a bit noisy while the construction of spencer st station is under going a major change . yes the staff are very friendly the rates are good value and the food is of good standard and moderately priced. would recomend this handy clean hotel to friends .
Good value, bit noisy if you want a lie-in though!
I arrived at 3am, but the desk staff was still helpful and chatty (maybe a little too much so as I was ready for my bed!).
I stayed in a courtyard room, which felt somewhat like a motel room as the large windows faced outwards in the communal courtyard area. Also, this made for a lot of disturbance in the morning. After my 3am arrival I wanted a lie-in, but was woken by noisy guests outside, and then when they'd cleared off, noisy domestic staff outside kept me awake. This wasn't too much of a problem on subsequent mornings as I had to get up early!
Breakfast was very good, and was included in the price (although a colleague who had booked separately from me and was in a superior room didn't get breakfast included). Eggs and bacon plus beans, mushrooms, croissants, toast, tea, coffee fruit juices.
Staff were polite and helpful, I was loaned a hairdryer for the whole of my 5 day stay.
Location was ideal, close to the convention centre which was good for me as I was attending a conference there. Also within walking distance of the centre, train stations and the sky bus terminal.
This place represents incredible value for money. Our room was admittedly a superior one but it was absolutely huge. Very quiet and spotlessly clean. Agree with comments about the shower being more of a mist but still better than in some hotels at this price. The location is brilliant, just a short walk from where the Sky Bus drops you at the station and right by the free circle tram stop too. Staff very helpful and friendly. The hotel has rather a grand feel to it, from the huge open fire in reception to the general feeling of space throughout the building. Price-wise, this place is absolutely unbeatable.
Great Little Hotel
We stayed at the Hotel Enterprize for six nights and were thrilled with the accommodations. Located just five minutes walking from Spencer Street Station (where the Airporter shuttle drops off), it was very close to the Yarra River waterfront complex and to Flinders Street Station. The small room was quiet (even though it overlooked busy Spencer Street) and clean. The bathroom was immaculate, although the shower provided less of a "shower" and more of a "mist," the result of Melbourne's water usage restrictions. We booked through an online provider and got breakfast thrown in, which turned out to be one of the hotel's best features. We got eggs and bacon, along with a buffet offering beans, mushrooms, stewed tomatoes, toast, croissants, muffins, fruit, and juice. Breakfast also runs from 6:30 a.m. until 11 a.m., meaning we were able to partake on our first, letlagged morning there (when we woke up late at 10 a.m.) and our last (when we had to leave by 6:45 a.m. to catch a flight). Desk staff was friendly and helpful, too. I would definitely recommend the Hotel Enterprize (and its breakfast) to Melbourne-bound travelers.
We had a 4 night stay in May 2004 and were very satisfied.Very handy for the Aussie rules stadium (hotel was full when we were there due to a game, book in advance ) and casino with all its bars and restaurants, rooms were clean and spacious. Melbourne taxi drivers are unlike any other in the world i have come across, 5 trips not one knew where they were going and all were ignorant in the extreme, get the tram.
Pretty good
we stayed in the delux room with two double beds. the place was spacious and the staff were really nice, helpful and friendly especially the late night staff. heaps close to crown casino. real ncie place

Comfortable room for two in T.C.United StatesMichiganTraverse City
About this listing
Space for two in tidy owner-occupied home. 2.5 miles to downtown TC and just a few hundred yards to beach on East Grand Traverse Bay. Few frills but rates are the best in town!
Space where guests can cook their own meals
Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
Central heating or a heater in the listing
The Space
Great location for a visit to the National Cherry Festival, the Traverse City Film Festival, a ski trip, motorcycle tour or weekend stay. Walking distance to Keith J. Charters State Park beach. TART trail is less than 1/4 mile away and provides miles of biking/walking/jogging and an easy trip to Traverse City, Acme and beyond.
Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas (and their respective wineries) are nearby; Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Crystal Mountain resort are about 45 minutes away.
While I can accommodate a third or fourth person they will have to sleep on my futon, which is not in a private room and not as comfortable as the beds. Also requires signing of Release Form to protect against back/neck ache or serving as feline sleeping platform (there's really no form to sign, but you have been warned).
I've had inquiries from people with one or two children but I don't think my place is suited for them--limited space to put 'em and sleep 'em.
There is plenty of parking in the driveway; no worries there. Late arrivals are OK; I'm used to guests arriving after a long drive.
Guest Access
Bedroom is private but we have to share the rest of the house. Guest room features a pull-out trundle bed (two single beds; when pushed together they are a bit bigger than a double bed). I will provide clean linens and a cat (or two) to pet!
Quiet backyard with patio, grill, lawn chairs and a fire bowl.
If you arrive on two wheels you get free parking in the "Garage Mahal" and use of any tools you need during your stay. If needed, I have several great roads and routes for you to investigate--trips from an hour to all day.
Interaction with Guests
You will be free to come and go as you please during your stay. I won't provide the entertainment but will be happy to tell you where to go for eats, drinks and good times. Depending on the week I may have a few goodies to snack on in the cupboards or refrigerator but you should plan to be on your own for food. Light breakfast items usually available and coffee maker is ready to go.
I'll likely be out enjoying the area during your stay so we may not see much of each other. However, I do like to be home when you arrive so you get the tour and I can answer questions. If I won't be there when you arrive I will make a plan to ensure you get a key.
The Neighborhood
Residential neighborhood is nice for walking, grocery store is one mile away. There's even a playground and dirt alleys to explore. Attractions and restaurants aplenty just to the east along US-31.
Getting Around
If you want to leave the driving to someone else the Bay Area Transportation Authority (BATA [www.bata.net]) offers many routes connecting Traverse City, Suttons Bay, Glen Arbor, Interlochen, Kingsley and Williamsburg.
Other Things to Note
I don't have cable TV or Internet access (I'm not a caveman; I work with computers all day long and don't need to come home and spend MORE time on a computer).
Not really suitable for guests with children or pets...limited space to put them and sleep them. Could swing an exception and put them on the futon; contact me first.
If you make it dirty, clean it up. If it breaks, tell me.
I try to generate as little trash as I can so expect to add to the recycling bins or compost pile if that's the case.
Smoking outdoors is fine but butts go in the trash. Leave them in my yard and your stay will end prematurely.
Don't be mean to my cat. If you are, she will steal your breath while you sleep.
Want to bring your pet? We will have to discuss first. I've had a few guests bring their dogs that got along fine with my cats but if yours thinks cats are chew toys then let's stop right there.

About the Host, Dave
I was in the marching band in high school AND Boy Scouts (I'm an Eagle Scout too, so go stick that in your pipe and smoke it) so I've got a real appreciation for music AND I know how to treat for heat stroke, hypothermia and shock.
Being raised on MAD Magazine and Saturday Night Live I have developed a great appreciation for snark, satire and commentary that turns our everyday world on its head and says "Why IS our world like that?" For example, why do basketball players always need someone else to help them up when they fall? Don't they go over that in practice?
I digress. Being in the BSA also created a love of the outdoors so I like to camp in a tent and rough it occasionally. I'm also a merit badge counselor.
I own two vintage Hodaka off-road motorcycles and one Suzuki streetbike and take great pleasure in riding them. I also enjoy cruising about in my old hot-rod station wagon. Chicks dig it.
By using airbnb, my goal is to provide affordable options to vacationers and travelers. I can appreciate the need to stick to a budget and the resorts and hotels in this area can break a budget in one night. It's also neat to see people from other parts of the world and to provide my guests with something other than a boring old motel room.

Nothing is known of the prophet's life excepting what may be gained from his book.

Nelson's uniform on display in ParisBreaking News
tags: Guardian (UK), Paris, Napoleonic Wars, Horatio Nelson, Les Invalides, Trafalger
As soon as the travelling crate was opened and the shroud of white tissue paper carefully peeled away, it was clear there was damage to the dark blue coat: a hole in the left shoulder, and some of the gold braid on the epaulette torn away. The damage happened more than two centuries ago, and the coat's arrival in France was one of the most unusual days in the history of the National Maritime Museum, in Greenwich, south London, and the Musée de l'Armée, at Les Invalides in Paris.
"I think it's a wonder," said Emelie Robbe, a curator of the Paris museum's new exhibition on Napoleon and Europe. "It is astonishing that it should be here."
The coat, an undress uniform of the Royal Navy, already slightly old fashioned when it was made in the late 18th century, had never left England since 1805, when it came back in a sea chest on the same ship that carried the body of Horatio Nelson preserved in a barrel of brandy. It has now voyaged again, through the Channel tunnel, into the heart of his enemy's empire....

As an English major, I love books, love to read books, love to touch books, even sometimes smell books. So whenever I walk into Logos on Pacific Avenue, I always tend to walk away with something in my hands. I never go in looking for anything specific, I just go in to look, which is probably why I always end up with something. Logos sells used books and like any English major will tell you, old books are the best. They have history and character, or so we think. Today I went to Logos to give readers insight into my experience there. At first I scanned the Literature section, I found a 1960s copy of "Light in August" by William Faulkner for three dollars. I bought it because I also have 1960s copy of "The Sound and the Fury" by Faulkner. I walked downstairs and found myself in the Architecture section, picked up a copy of "From Bauhaus to Our House" by Tom Wolfe for $5 because I wanted to read something on modern architecture of the '50 and '60s. Then in the poetry section I picked up "How Much Earth: The Fresno Poets" for $4 because I'm thinking of doing my honor thesis on contemporary Chicano poetry and this would be a great start. Coming in with nothing, I walked out with three books that for the time being will be sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. It's an addiction really, a horrible one. My discovery of Logos has created a pile of books in my closet that I have to get through. I can't be all that mad. Really, I do love that old musty smell they have

This ain't no Burning Man—the MAH's GLOW festival flames on
Mercury Direct in Libra, Columbus Day, Libra New Moon
Mercury completes its retrograde Friday, poised stationary direct Friday evening at zero degrees Libra. Mercury begins its journey through Libra once again, completing its retrograde shadow Oct. 12. Things should be a bit less complicated by then. Daily life works better, plans move forward, large purchases can be made, and communication eases. Everything on hold during the retrograde is slowly released. Since we eliminated all thoughts and ideas no longer needed (the purpose of Mercury's retrograde) during the retrograde, we can now gather new information—until the next retrograde occurs on Jan. 5, 2016 (1.3 degrees Aquarius), retrograding back to 15 degrees Capricorn on Jan. 25. It's good to know beforehand when Mercury will retrograde next—Jan. 5, the day before Epiphany. On Monday is Columbus Day, when the sailor from Genoa arrived in the new lands (Americas), Oct. 12, 1492. This discovery by Columbus was the first encounter of Europeans with Native Americans. Other names for this day are "Discovery Day, Day of the Americas, Cultural Diversity Day, Indigenous People's Day, and Dia de la Raza." Italian communities especially celebrate this day. Oct. 12 is also Thanksgiving Day in Canada. Monday is also the (19 degrees) Libra new moon festival. Libra's keynote while building the personality is, "Let choice be made." Libra is the sign of making life choices. Often under great tension of opposing forces seeking harmony and balance. There is a battle between our lower (personality) and higher selves (soul). We are tested and called to cultivate right judgment and love. When we align with the will-to-good, right choice, then right judgment and love/wisdom come forth. Our tasks in Libra.

Plan to Change Internet Group Is Criticized as Inadequate
By SUSAN STELLIN
Published: April 1, 2002
The organization responsible for managing the Internet's address system has embarked on a reform effort that has ignited a contentious debate not just about its own future but about the very notion of Internet governance.
The organization, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, was created by the United States government in 1998 to manage the system that translates domain names like nytimes.com into numbers recognized by the network.
But as its original narrow mandate has expanded into policy-making territory, like deciding which extensions should join .com, .net and .org, the group, also known as Icann, has been criticized for its cumbersome processes and lack of openness.
At the end of February, Icann acknowledged some of its shortcomings with a 30-page paper written by its president and chief executive, M. Stuart Lynn, calling for reform. But the proposal, which focuses primarily on problems in structure and financing, has caused a larger debate.
In the last month, various individuals and organizations have weighed in, including several members of Congress, who have sent letters asking the Commerce Department to get involved. (The Commerce Department was instrumental in creating Icann and continues to have a contractual relationship with the organization; that contract is up for review this fall.)
No one seems to take issue with Mr. Lynn's case for reform. In fact, the paper bluntly admits, "Icann in its current form has not become the effective steward of the global Internet's naming and address allocation systems as conceived by its founders." But critics say the remedies Mr. Lynn proposes, mainly changing how the board is chosen and reorganizing the board's advisory committees, would even further reduce public representation, long a criticism of Icann.
The proposal also suggests recasting Icann as a "public-private partnership" and giving international governments a stronger role in the organization by allowing them to nominate five members to the board. That suggestion has set off alarm bells within the United States government, which intentionally designed Icann as a private nonprofit corporation to avoid some of the pitfalls of government bureaucracy.
Although sensitive to the fact that the Internet has become a critical international resource, some people within the United States government are also wary of any effort to hand over management of the address system to a multinational quasi-governmental body.
For his part, Mr. Lynn said his proposal was intended simply as a starting point, and he expressed some surprise at the vehemence of the response. "The proposal put on the table was bound to change," he said in a telephone interview last week. "If there are better ways, let's hear them."
Toward that end, Icann has established a Committee on Evolution and Reform, which is soliciting public input over the next several weeks through a process outlined at www .icann.org. That committee will make a recommendation to Icann's board, which is expected to release its own recommendations by May 31.
But one question is whether Icann has the credibility at this point to manage its own reform. Some view the Commerce Department as the only candidate for exerting any influence over Icann and have called for it to assume a stronger role.
"Commerce needs to make it clear to all involved that they really do need to compromise and come to some workable structure if they want it to succeed at all," said Esther Dyson, chairwoman of EDventure Holdings and a former chairwoman of Icann.
That perspective seems to be gathering momentum. The chairman and several members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans in mid-March to express concern that Mr. Lynn's proposal "will make Icann even less democratic, open and accountable than it is today."
Ken Johnson, a spokesman for the committee, said it was likely to hold hearings on the topic. "We are certainly going to have an oversight hearing on Icann and, as they say, you can bet your bottom dollar that the reform plan is going to be one of the key issues that we'll examine," he said. He added that there was "a very good possibility" the hearing would happen before the summer, noting that the timing of Icann's contract renewal in September was a factor.
Senator Conrad Burns, Republican of Montana, has also sent a letter asking the Senate Commerce Committee to hold an oversight hearing on Icann. He raises the question of "whether Icann is even the most appropriate organization to be tasked with such a critical mission, which is central to our national security."
Though many insiders agree that the security issue is a red herring (the United States government still retains control over the so-called A-root server, the central database of the domain name system), the scope of Icann's mission is a matter of debate. Even Mr. Lynn acknowledged, "We need to have a much clearer understanding of Icann's mission, what it's supposed to do and what it's not." On that note, many heads are turning to the Commerce Department for clarification.

A grand jury has indicted a mail handler on a charge that she stole four Walmart gift cards from correspondence addressed to two Miami residents.

Gift cards: The good, the bad, the ugly
By Marshall Loeb MarketWatch
November 26, 2007
For all the convenience and flexibility they offer, gift cards aren't without their drawbacks. Cards purchased directly from a store generally work much like cash, but the "general use" gift cards being hawked by some banks and credit card issuers carry a number of fees and restrictions. If you are one of the more than two-thirds of Americans who plan to give a gift card this winter, here are two downsides to keep in mind: 1. Your money won't go as far with gift cards. A $25 gift card will cost you more than the face value, generally around $4 more, plus shipping and handling, according to Ben Woolsey of Creditcards.
Beware the gift-card `gotchas'
Sally Deneen
December 10, 2006
A survey by a reputable research firm says that the most popular gift this season won't be an iPod or other gizmo; instead, two-thirds of shoppers intend to buy something that sounds practical -- a gift card. But an estimated 19 percent of people who received gift cards last holiday season still haven't used them. That calls into question whether they're such a great present, particularly considering some cards expire or have dormancy fees that shrink their value. So, if you're about to buy gift cards this season anyway, consider some hints.
Gift cards can be costly
December 9, 2007
I haven't used a Loews Cineplex movie gift card given to me three Christmases ago. My husband hasn't redeemed his Borders gift card. And a Consumer Reports survey of 1,000 adults found that 27 percent who got gift cards last year never redeemed at least one of them. Among those with unused cards, 51 percent have two or more. The obvious moral: think twice before giving gift cards. But if you're going to buy them, consider some hints. Gift cards bearing the logo of American Express, Visa, Mastercard and Discover are tempting because they can be used anywhere those credit cards are accepted.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library

NEW YORK (AP) — A not guilty plea has been entered on behalf of a large hedge fund charged in a criminal indictment with letting insider trading occur over a 10-year period.
The plea was entered Friday morning in Manhattan federal court by Peter Nussbaum, longtime general counsel for SAC Capital Advisors. It happened a day after the company was charged with wire and securities fraud.
A prosecutor says the evidence is "voluminous."
Stamford, Conn.-based SAC said in a statement after the charges were announced that it will continue normal operations.
It said it "has never encouraged, promoted or tolerated insider trading and takes its compliance and management obligations seriously."
The company is owned by embattled billionaire Steven A. Cohen. He has not been charged.

Wednesday 10 March 2004
The World Today is a comprehensive current affairs program which backgrounds, analyses, interprets and encourages debate on events and issues of interest and importance to all Australians. Below is the program summary with links to transcripts and audio (if available).
Now to the growing rift between Australia's Muslim leaders. And for the first time, one of the country's longest serving Muslim leaders, Sheikh Fehmi Naji, has gone public with his criticisms of the country's Mufti, Sheik Taj al-Hilaly. Sheikh Naji claims the Grand Mufti's behaviour isn't helping relations between Muslims and the broader Australian community.
Survivors and the families of those who died in the Bali bombing have reacted with surprise and concern that Abu Bakr Bashir will be freed within weeks. Bashir, the spiritual head of Jemaah Islamiyah, which carried out the Bali bombings, has had his three year jail sentence reduced to 18 months. Politicians in Australia have also expressed their disappointment at the news.
The Prime Minister John Howard, has described the amendments to the Sex Discrimination Act to allow scholarships to be offered exclusively to male teachers by Australian schools, as a big test for the leader of the Opposition. Labor, along with the Greens and Democrats, say they'll vote against the legislation.
The Director of the CIA, George Tenet, has defended the Bush administration's use of pre-war intelligence in Iraq, but admitted he didn't correct some of its public statements. In a sometimes contentious hearing before the Senate Armed Services committee, Democrat committee members accused Mr Tenet of failing to ensure that the Bush administration's rhetoric about the threat posed by Iraq actually reflected the views of the CIA.
A teenager has been stripped of a scholarship because her mother isn't the right religion. Jemima Holmes dux of her year at Lismore High School, and was looking forward to studying medicine thanks to a $12,000 scholarship. But the scholarship was meant for a student with Protestant parents, and Jemima's mother doesn't fit the bill.
It's one thing to attract more men to the teaching profession, it's quite another to keep them there. That's the overwhelming view among teachers themselves, in response to today's moves by the Federal Government to amend the Sex Discrimination Act. Teachers say that more money, better conditions and greater community recognition are the issues that need to be urgently fixed if the gender imbalance in teaching is to be redressed. But as Tanya Nolan reports, so dire is the shortage of male teachers, that the profession is calling out for any help it can get.
Although Australian consumers may have greased the wheels of economic growth in recent years, there are now signs that consumer confidence is waning. The Westpac-Melbourne Institute Survey of consumer confidence has fallen 3.8 per cent this month.
The Federal Government has formally announced that it's to proceed with plans to purchase 59 second-hand M1-A1 Abrams tanks from the United States, despite concerns about their suitability for the Australian military. The $550-million deal was announced this morning by Defence Minister, Senator Robert Hill, and Chief of the Army, Lieutenant General Peter Leahy.
The Federal Government has done a deal with the Senate Independents to include dental cover in its Medicare Plus package, allowing Health Minister Tony Abbott's Medicare safety net legislation to pass the Senate. As well as dental cover, the deal also includes improved thresholds that mean the safety net will come into place at a reduced level, giving more Australians access to it, earlier on.
To the standoff between players and police investigating the alleged gang rape of a young woman last month. Detectives are yet to hear from the so-called seventh player from the Canterbury Bulldogs Rugby League Team, a player who they believe could provide the key to their investigations into the sexual assault allegations. Police increased the pressure on the club and its players yesterday with their public appeal, and today the club's CEO, Steve Mortimer, expressed his surprise and concern that the club's legal team hadn't been informed of the development.
The Prime Minister has all but ruled out a push from his backbench for the Commonwealth to take over the running of hospitals. But while he is now playing down the idea, Coalition backbenchers are still extremely enthusiastic about it. The States dismiss the idea of ceding responsibility to the Commonwealth as a diversion.
