Domestic Violence in Australia
Sarah Joseph, Monash University
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has announced that Australia is running for a seat on the UN Human Rights Council for the period of 2018 to 2020. The bid was originally made by the previous government, and has now been officially endorsed by this one.
The UN Human Rights Council was established in 2006 to replace the UN Commission on Human Rights, which had run from 1947 to 2006. In that time, the commission had some impressive accomplishments, including its early drafting of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948, and most of the core UN human rights treaties. The commission played a role in promoting and developing human rights norms, and investigating and highlighting human rights issues and crises.
However, by the time of its demise, its reputation was so clouded that its official name seemed to have become "the Discredited" Human Rights Commission. The West felt that too many countries with terrible human rights records, such as Sudan and Zimbabwe, were joining the commission (it had 53 member nations) to protect themselves from censure. In contrast, developing nations felt that the commission had become too antagonistic in its dealings with them.
A revamp was needed, so the commission was replaced by the council, which has the same normative and investigative functions and has 47 member nations. It has one major new function, the Universal Periodic Review ("UPR"), whereby the human rights record of every UN member is reviewed by the council (as well as all other "observer" nations) every four-and-a-half years.
The 47 seats are divided between the five official UN regions in the following way: Africa (13); Asia (13); Latin America and the Caribbean (8); Western Europe and Other (7); Eastern Europe (6). Australia is in the Western Europe and Other Group, known as WEOG. One-third of the council is elected every year by the UN General Assembly, and members serve three-year terms. No member may serve more than two consecutive terms. A member can also be suspended from the council upon a vote of two-thirds of the UN General Assembly: Libya was so suspended in 2011 after Muammar Gaddafi's crackdown on Arab Spring protesters and armed dissidents.
As the council's members are representatives of their governments rather than independent human rights experts, it is hardly surprising that the council, like the commission before it, is a highly politicised body. So is the council an improvement upon the "discredited" commission? While the UPR is capable of improvement, it has generally been praised as a jewel in the council's crown, which clearly distinguishes it from the commission.
Nevertheless, many of the same criticisms arise as were levelled at the commission. Some of its members, now and in the past, have terrible human rights records. After all, while Libya was suspended in 2011, one may fairly ask why it was elected in the first place?
Saudi Arabia's leadership role is currently attracting much adverse media attention. Russia, China and Cuba are routinely elected, as was the case with the commission, though they all had to sit out 2013 as they had all served two consecutive terms. It is no coincidence that 2013 was a comparatively productive year for the council. **
Human rights criteria were mooted as prerequisites for membership back when the council was created. However, the UN's nearly 200 members could not agree on substantive criteria, as they have different views on human rights. The US, for example, wanted only "democratic nations" to be eligible, whereas a focus on the implementation of economic and social rights might have led to the exclusion of the US itself.
Procedural criteria, such as a nation's record on ratification of human rights treaties, would have been more objective. However, such criteria may have led to the exclusion of the two most powerful countries in the world – the US and China. As it stands, members commit to the highest standards of human rights, and countries should take into account a nominee's human rights record when voting. But both of these rules are basically unenforceable.
Nevertheless, I believe that the membership of the council has generally been better than was the case with the later years of the Commission on Human Rights. It is notable that notorious abusers such as Sri Lanka and Belarus have sought and failed to gain election, while Syria was sensibly talked out of running in 2011. The secret ballot for council elections may be a key here, as there is a chance that a UN region will lose a seat for a year if an insufficient number of its nominees are deemed acceptable enough to be elected by a majority of the UN General Assembly.
The council is also criticised for running hard against human rights abuses in some contexts, while being notably soft in others. For example, inconsistency arose in 2009 when Israel was heavily condemned over Operation Cast Lead in Gaza while Sri Lanka was effectively praised a few months later for the end of its long-running civil war despite thousands of civilian deaths.
To be fair, the 2009 Sri Lanka resolution was possibly a nadir in the council's operations, and it has been more proactive in responding to major human crises since, such as those in Côte d'Ivoire, Libya, Syria, Mali and the Central African Republic. It has also now adopted resolutions condemning Sri Lanka and calling for war crimes investigations. However, Australia did not support the 2014 resolution, presumably as it sought continued political favour with Sri Lanka to ensure its ongoing co-operation to stop asylum seeker boats.
A global intergovernmental body focusing on human rights is important. Such a body will always be dogged by politics, but it is important to have such a forum as countries care more about what other countries think than they do about the statements of human rights experts and NGOs. The council is that global intergovernmental body, and its evolving membership represents the world of today, warts and all.
It is doubtful that the battle for universal human rights observance will be won by adopting an "us and them" mentality which excludes significant numbers of countries even running for election for the "human rights club". It could lead to balkanised human rights discussions, and possible competing institutions within the UN. The council must be a forum where non-like-minded countries can talk to each other and cross divides (as does happen on occasion) to make important human rights decisions.
Australia is seeking a three-year term from 2018. It is competing with France and Spain for two WEOG seats. Will Australia be elected?
It is impossible to predict; much water will flow under the bridge before the election in 2017. Widespread praise for the role Australia ultimately played as a Security Council member indicates a reasonable amount of goodwill towards us. Clearly, France and Spain have the advantage of being members of the European Union, meaning they likely have a solid bloc of votes locked in.
On the other hand, Australia benefits from being seen to represent a different region than the always-well-represented Europe. Australia could for example try to position itself as a champion of the Pacific nations, and we will no doubt use the eternal narrative that "we punch above our weight". Furthermore, the EU has frankly been dysfunctional in its lobbying efforts on the council, due to its slowness in being able to pin down a position among its own members.
Australia's own human rights record will be of relevance to nations in deciding how to vote. Australia's upcoming second UPR on November 9 will enable us to see what their major concerns are.
Australia has significant and well-known human rights problems, for example concerning asylum seekers, onshore and offshore detention, Indigenous people, violence against women and counter-terrorism laws. Here, I will focus on issues which have the capacity to undermine Australia's reputation for cooperation with the UN.
One concern will be the Abbott government's hounding of Gillian Triggs, the president of Australia's Human Rights Commission, as those attacks do not sit well with the single resolution that Australia routinely co-sponsors before the council – that concerning the importance and independence of National Human Rights Institutions. However, it is likely that the government's open hostility towards Triggs will soften under new Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
Of great concern will be Australia's attitude to its direct engagements with UN human rights bodies. We do not have a good record of implementing the findings of the UN treaty bodies, which have found Australia to be in breach of international human rights law more than 40 times.
In March, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, an independent human rights expert who is appointed by and reports to the council, found that Australia's treatment of asylum seekers contravened anti-torture standards. Then-prime minister Tony Abbott petulantly responded that Australia was "sick of being lectured to" by the UN.
Only this week, the Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants postponed his official trip to Australia as the government could not guarantee that he could receive information from people about the offshore detention centres without those people suffering legal reprisals under the Border Force Act.
If Australia's reputation for non-co-operation with the UN continues to grow, its council bid could and should suffer.
Australia has a long and proud history with regard to human rights and the UN. Herbert Vere Evatt oversaw the adoption of the UDHR in 1948 as the president of the UN General Assembly. Distinguished Australians have served on the UN treaty bodies (for example, Elizabeth Evatt, Ivan Shearer and Ron McCallum) and as Special Rapporteurs (for example Philip Alston is the current Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights).
It is appropriate for Australia to continue that history of leadership and engagement by running for the Human Rights Council. It is a flawed body, but a necessary one.
Australia's road to election in 2018 will however be tough. A good faith attitude to our upcoming UPR and the resultant recommendations, as well as efforts to redress our considerable human rights failings, will help in that regard.

Malcolm Turnbull confronts a classic "wicked problem" in how to deal with the nearly 1600 asylum seekers who are stuck in terrible conditions on Nauru and Manus Island.
A "wicked problem" is one that is "highly resistant to resolution". In this case, Turnbull has – if he chooses to take it up – the policy challenge of finding a humane outcome for the detainees while maintaining a convincing "tough on borders" stand vis-a-vis the people smugglers.
This would also involve a political challenge. Hardline conservatives in his party, still appalled by the leadership coup, will use the asylum-seeker issue as one marker by which to judge Turnbull. From the other perspective, so will some moderate Liberals in the party and small-l liberals in voterland.
The present unacceptable state of affairs has most recently been highlighted by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, François Crépeau. He announced he was postponing his September 27-October 9 visit to Australia "due to the lack of full co-operation from the government regarding protection concerns and access to detention centres".
Crépeau said the new Border Force Act, which threatens detention centre staff who disclose protected information with two years in jail, "would have an impact on my visit as it serves to discourage people from fully disclosing information relevant to my mandate".
He had asked the government for a written guarantee that no-one he met would be at risk of "any intimidation or sanctions" under that act. The government was not prepared to give the guarantee required by his official terms of reference.
Crépeau said that since March he had repeatedly requested that the Australian government facilitate his access to its offshore processing centres, without success.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton responded that the government had "accommodated to the fullest extent possible the requests of the office of the Special Rapporteur". Access to centres in Papua New Guinea and Nauru "is the responsibility of these sovereign nations and needs to be addressed with their governments", Dutton added.
The most recent numbers (late August) showed 936 males detained on Manus and 653 detainees in Nauru (446 men, 114 women and 93 children). Processing has been painfully slow.
Under the Abbott government it was thought acceptable to let these people languish, apparently indefinitely.
Hopefully Turnbull will take a different view. He hinted at this last week when asked by Sky's David Speers about the people "stuck" offshore. "I have the same concerns about the situation of people on Manus and Nauru as you do, and as I would think almost all, all, Australians do," he said.
When some saw this as a potential softening of policy, however, he quickly reiterated that these people would never come to Australia.
Turnbull should address several steps if he is going to deal with the plight of the people on Nauru and Manus.
First, the government should do whatever is required to give the Special Rapporteur proper access to people and places. Ensuring protection for those who speak with the Rapporteur and access to centres is the easiest part of dealing with the wicked problem.
Second, there should be more Australian oversight in the centres. Claims that the sovereignty of PNG and Nauru would be compromised do not hold water – Australia is paying the bills.
Third, the government should find a way of having the people in the detention centres processed more quickly. The processing is done by the Nauru and PNG authorities, so the Australian government says "ask them" in response to questions about delays – a convenient but not convincing answer.
Fourth, those determined to be refugees need to be resettled satisfactorily, bearing in mind that the government won't allow them to come to Australia.
From the reporting we have seen – most recently at the weekend from The Age's Michael Gordon, who visited Manus – the conditions of the small number whose refugee claims have been upheld and who are out of the detention centres are appalling.
The government promised large amounts of funding for Cambodia to take people. Only a handful of refugees went.
Other third-country destinations are needed. But what hope of finding them, when the world is awash with great human tides of asylum seekers? Are any countries interested in "people swap" deals?
Fifth, any attempt by people smugglers to take advantage of a more humane policy towards the Manus and Nauru people by trying to restart the trade would need to be stared down. Both sides of politics now endorse turnbacks and there is no reason to think this would not continue to be effective as a deterrent.
Sixth, the Border Force Act should be amended, to allow those working in detention centres proper rights to provide information publicly in appropriate circumstances. The Australian Medical Association has been campaigning against the legislation and its voice should be heeded – it has a professional not a commercial interest in the issue.
In his last days as prime minister, Tony Abbott had Australia make a generous gesture to 12,000 refugees from the Syrian conflict. That actually was easier than solving the problem of the people stranded in PNG and Nauru. But the fate of those close at hand and under our watch is equally important and increasingly urgent.

Malcolm Turnbull has seized the prime ministership from Tony Abbott by 54 votes to 44 in a late-night vote that transforms the federal political landscape, presenting Bill Shorten with potentially a much more formidable opponent.
Turnbull's victory culminated an extraordinary day, which saw him launch his challenge with a scathing public assault on Abbott's failures, followed by bitter counter attacks from ministers backing Abbott as he fought a desperate rearguard action.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, who joined the Turnbull push and went to Abbott before question time to tell him he had lost his party's support, was re-elected deputy leader, defeating Abbott backer Kevin Andrews 70 votes to 30. Bishop had indicated she would not serve as deputy if Abbott held his job.
Turnbull, with a big task to unite the party, will comprehensively reshuffle the ministry with Treasurer Joe Hockey a certain casualty and Social Services Minister Scott Morrison favourite to replace him.
Turnbull's victory reverses the defeat that Abbott imposed on him in 2009 in opposition.
A moderate, Turnbull has consistently outpolled Abbott as preferred leader. His victory – which comes despite the suspicion of him by many Liberals in the right-leaning party – reflects the deep fears of an election loss under Abbott.
The day began with most Liberals believing that although a leadership contest was nearly inevitable, it probably would not come this week, which is the run-up to the Canning byelection.
Abbott, speaking in Adelaide on Monday morning, tried to shrug off talk of a leadership spill, saying he was not going to get caught up in "Canberra gossip".
As the prime minister was on his way to Canberra, the Turnbull camp was plotting its strategy.
Turnbull met Abbott after Question Time to tell him he would challenge, and resign as communications minister.
He then went out to lambast Abbott's failures when he announced his candidature at a news conference.
Turnbull said Abbott had not been capable of providing the economic leadership the nation needed and would not be able to win the election. A new style of leadership was needed, including "advocacy not slogans". The trajectory was clear; the Coalition had lost 30 Newspolls in a row. "It is clear the people have made up their mind about Mr Abbott's leadership."
Announcing the party meeting, Abbott said the leadership should be earned by a vote of the Australian people and the Liberals should avoid "Labor's revolving-door prime ministership".
The leadership uncertainty has dogged the government all year, with an unsuccessful spill motion moved by backbenchers in February. Turnbull did not put up his hand because he did not have the numbers.
Morrison, a key figure on the right of the party, flagged before the ballot that he would vote for Abbott, but would not seek to be deputy leader.
The Abbott camp rolled out a string of ministers to try to discredit Turnbull before the party meeting, which started at 9.15pm.
Hockey denounced Turnbull's claims about bad economic leadership, saying they were "completely unfounded. He has never said to me or to the cabinet that we are heading in the wrong direction."
Hockey said that the "disloyalty of some has been outrageous".
Senate leader Eric Abetz said it was a question of "core beliefs not personalities". Like other Abbott backers, Abetz said the "flood of messages" to Liberal MPs was clear: "one, keep Tony Abbott as PM and, two, don't behave like the Labor Party did".
Andrews said office telephones had been in "meltdown" with messages of support for Tony Abbott. "The party base overwhelmingly supports the PM as do our Coalition partners the Nationals."
Andrews said there was a clear choice. On the one hand, Abbott had shown he could fight and beat Labor in two elections. On the other hand, Turnbull had never fought an election as leader.
"He talks today about being behind in the Newspolls. Don't forget that he never actually won a Newspoll when he was leader," Andrews said.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton strongly defended Abbott. Finance Minister Mathias Cormann and Assistant Treasurer Josh Frydenberg also publicly backed Abbott.
National Party Leader and Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss confirmed before the meeting that while the leadership was a choice for the Liberals, any change would require a new Coalition agreement.
This is expected to be a formality.
Truss praised Abbott, saying he had been a "very inclusive leader" and "the progress and the processes of government have been very constructive and well organised".
The Turnbull camp did not hit the airwaves with a bevy of public figures before the vote. But strong Turnbull supporter Senator Arthur Sinodinos, John Howard's former chief of staff, said there needed to be a change of both style and substance in national leadership.
"I believe Malcolm Turnbull can bring real substance to the economic debate. He will lead from the front," Sinodinos said.
Canning Liberal candidate Andrew Hastie, a former SAS officer, said in a statement: "People have called me today worried about this byelection, that somehow events in Canberra have made my job more difficult. And believe me, in my previous career I've experienced much worse.
"In fact, I'm going up a gear now for the people of Canning. This byelection is not about political games, it's about the people of Canning and they're losing faith in the political class."

It is widely believed that the Boeing 777 was downed by Russian-backed separatists in Eastern Ukraine, although Russia has repeatedly denied claims of any involvement.

El Niño has arrived, it's getting stronger, and it's not about to go away soon. And already there are rumblings that this could be a big one. El Niño in Australia means warmer temperatures, and sometimes, but not always, drier conditions.
In 2014, some climatologists thought a big El Niño might have been on the cards. Ultimately, after some vigorous early warming in the Pacific, conditions only touched on El Niño thresholds. This year, with an event already established, climatologists are suggesting the odds are rising of an El Niño rivalling the record events of 1982 and 1997.
So what's all the fuss about, and how are conditions different from last year?
El Niño events are identified by equatorial Pacific Ocean temperatures. At the ocean surface, an El Niño is when these are sustained at about 0.8°C warmer than average. As we speak, temperature anomalies are exceeding twice that value.
In fact, we have just experienced twelve consecutive weeks with temperatures more than 1°C above average in all five of the key El Niño monitoring areas. The record was previously held by the 1997 El Niño, when this widespread warming lasted eight consecutive weeks.
But no two El Nino's are exactly the same. Despite this warming in the tropical Pacific Ocean, in the Indian Ocean temperatures are far warmer than they were in 1997 (or 1982), which may mean different impacts for Australia. But more about that later.
When sea surface temperatures in the central equatorial Pacific get warm enough, the atmospheric circulation shifts and the usually strong trade winds reduce, sometimes even reversing.
The direct consequence of the changing wind pattern is that the sea level in the western equatorial Pacific is no longer "piled up" by the trade winds. Low sea levels north of New Guinea (shown boxed) are strongly correlated with Nino3.4, which is the index that relates best to Australian climate.
At the peak (December) of the 1997 El Niño, the sea level in the western Pacific dropped nearly 30 cm. It is only August and already the sea level is nearly 25 cm below normal to the north of Australia.
Likewise, in the eastern Pacific, sea levels have risen by similar amounts as the weakened trades allow water to shift east. This half-metre difference in the normal sea level between the east and west is a classic strong El Niño signature.
A drop in sea level often means less water flows past Indonesia and down Australia's west coast — weakening the Leeuwin Current and reducing the likelihood of coral bleaching in Western Australia.
Climate forecast centres around the world are keenly monitoring the development of this year's El Niño. Why? Because for some time, all the top dynamical (i.e., physics based) climate models have agreed that there is more warming of the tropical Pacific Ocean to come.
The current (late July) average forecast is for continued warming peaking at a Niño 3.4 value of +2.7°C by December. Such a value would put 2015 alongside the big El Niño events in 1982 (+2.8°C) and 1997 (+2.7°C).
Reinforcement by the atmosphere is an essential part of El Niño development – as you can see in our Understanding ENSO video.
Last year the ocean began generating an El Niño but the atmosphere wouldn't come to the party. This year the atmosphere is clearly responding.
Two exceptionally large westerly wind events have already occurred in the western equatorial Pacific this year, giving this El Niño a significant boost. Another wind event is forecast for August to kick the system along even further and add to the strength of this El Niño.
Of the 26 El Niño events since 1900, 17 have brought widespread drought to Australia. In the big El Niño of 1982, drought devastated the eastern half of Australia and drove the devastating Ash Wednesday bushfires.
In contrast, the even stronger El Niño of 1997–98 brought more localised drought, with key rains in May and September meaning winter crops did reasonably well in most areas. Other years, such as 2002 and 1996, when weaker El Niño's occurred, the drought was more severe.
For Australia, it's not the size of El Niño that matters, it's how it interacts with other rainfall drivers – such as sea surface temperatures around the continent and in the Indian and Southern Oceans, as well as random 'weather noise' – that governs the eventual rainfall over the continent.
A significant El Niño event is currently underway, and there's a chance it could rival the big events of 1982 and 1997. While this may increase the chance of drought and higher temperatures in eastern Australia, many other factors influence potential impacts.
We are already seeing that in the August–October Bureau of Meteorology seasonal outlooks, with the warmest June ocean temperatures on record in the southern Indian Ocean keeping the strengthening El Niño at bay by putting more moisture into the mid-levels of the atmosphere and changing weather patterns.
So what's the final 2015 El Niño prediction?
The 2015 El Niño is already significant, and a big El Niño certainly remains a possibility. Widespread strong impacts haven't (yet) raised their head for Australia and indeed, such as in 1997, may never do.
But managing El Niño is all about managing risk. The southern spring is the time when dry weather, frosts and heatwaves can hurt farmers and many others the most. And that's when El Niño events, which raise the odds of these impacts, like to bite hardest.

We're back to playing catch up again with out Beast Wars II cartoon gallery update (due to no internet at the new house) so here'd a quick look at the two of the four galleries I put live on Friday, but didnt' get any time to tell you about.
Beast Wars II Episode 18 - The Black Lio Convoy
The Destrons stumble across an old artefact which can duplicate any object that it scans in the ruins of an ancient city on Planet Gaia. Galvatron decides to use the device to clone his arm, creating a Black and Grey duplicate of BB - only to find that the clones are uncontrollable, believing themselves to the the original. This gives the Destron Lord of Destructin an idea .. he'll trick the Cybertron's into using the device on themselves, to that their duplicates can take out Lio Convoy and his troops.
As expected it's poor old Tasmania Kid who finds the device and takes it back to base. After first clonning a Manga that Scuba is reading the device is used on Lio Convoy creating a dark duplicte, Black Lio Convoy.
Having only seen a few pictures from this episode previously what then suprised me was that the other Cybertron's were also cloned into Black Versions .... the suprise of this to me is that toys were not made of these. A Black Big Horn (Grey), Apache, Scuba and Tasmania Kid are also produced. Only Scuba is not cloned, allowing him to defeat the evil clones. This episode if also very similar to an A-Team episode when some imposters pretend to be the Heroes for Hire, with Murdock not being "copied".
Beast Wars II Epiosde 19 - The Space Pirate Seacons
This episode sees the Space Pirate Seacons, lead by Halfshell, arrive on Planet Gaia looking for Anglomois energy.
Stay tuned for the other two a little later today
Today's Beast Wars II episode continues with the Jointron focus, this time asking the question of who the leader of their group in the episode 17 - Who is is the Leader?
The Destron's plan to bring instability to the Cybertron Jointron's by creating in-fighting between the group over who the leader is.
Simon Furman has posted the following on his blog looking for some missing artwork
I need your help. At some point between last year's Roll Out, Roll Call and this year's, two pieces of original Transformers comic art I supplied for display 'went missing'. The items in question are the final page of Transformers UK #78 (Target: 2006 prologue), by Jeff Anderson, and page 2 (the title page) of 1985 Annual story, 'And There Shall Come A Leader', by John Stokes.
(Click the link for images) but bear in mind the missing pages are the black & white line originals on artboard (at larger than printed scale).
These pages were kindly given me by the artists in question, and are quite simply irreplaceable. So, could I ask all transfans to be vigilant. If you see or have seen these items for sale, or know who has them, please contact me via the Wildfur website (& the contact email thereon).
All information will be treated in strict confidence and I'm offering a reward of rare/signed Transformers goodies to anyone with information leading directly to their recovery.
Thank you.
To make up for the delayed publishing of episode 6 of Beast Wars II, I have decided to also publish the 7th episode from the show that was called The Insect Corp Arrive. The original episode synopsis was "Within a forest on Gaea lies the Insectrons. But who's side are they on?" and the episode feature the debuts of the Big Moss and Tonbot. Manterror also briefly appears in the episode which sees Big Moss and Tonbot get tricked by Starscream into believing that they are the famous Cybertrons and that Lio Convoy is actually a Destron. Starscream and BB attack Thrust and Dirge several times in the episode referring to them as the "manzai-combi" which is a reference to the traditional style of stand-up comedy in Japan. During the episode Tonbot, who is mainly a humourous character, speaks English a few times. He's some preview images:
Click on any of the images to jump to the image gallery
It's much later in the day that we planned but our Beast Wars II cartoon image gallery continues with the 6th episode from the show that was titled Mystery of the Ancient Ruins. The original episode synopsis was "A strange ruin holds many mysteries for the Maximals" and featured the debut of the character Mantis, a recolour of the Beast Wars Manterror figure. Here are some preview thumbnails. The episode also revealed the connection between Apache and Lio Convoy including the first time they met when Lio Convoy save Apache's life on the battle field.

Wake-Up Call: The DNC's island of misfit toys
I'm looking across the highway at the Pepsi Center and Invesco Field at Mile High, the settings for so many memorable sights during the Democratic National Convention, which kicked off exactly a year ago today. And between them -- at least from this vantage point -- is Elitch Gardens, where, before all the political pomp and circumstance, the Denver Host Committee staged a welcoming party for the media and other visitors.
Dean Singleton, the Denver Post owner who funded the festivities, nixed a rodeo-themed party, because that would be too bumpkinish. So instead, the party was held at the very sophisticated Elitch's, where Cindy Adams pitched a fit when she wasn't allowed in the VIP area and the rest of the non-VIP hoi polloi competed at carnival games, where everyone seemed to be a winner that night.
As revelers stumbled out of Elitch's, they were loaded down with cheap stuffed animals and other prizes -- which, as they headed out of town a few days later, they left abandoned in hotel rooms and cabs across the city, leaving Denver looking like the Island of Misfit Toys.
Although Denver got national props for how the city looked and behaved during the convention (pilfering of the plushies excepted), the hype wasn't enough to immunize the city against the economic crash ahead.
And a year later, local officials are left with only the memories of the DNC while they deal with the nitty-gritty details of governance. Among the back-to-basics events this week:
At 9:30 a.m. today, Governor Bill Ritter will be at the Tivoli to reveal the results of eighteen months of work creating jobs by his Job Cabinet. Tomorrow, Ritter will join Senator Michael Bennet and Mayor John Hickenlooper at Johnson & Wales to kick off the 2009 Summit for a New Era of Community Service, hosted by Metro Volunteers.
The city's public meetings on new zoning continue this week, with a public forum slated from 6-9 p.m. Tuesday, August 25 at National Jewish (district 10) and the same time the next day at the Asbury Event Center (district 9). For details, go to www.newcodedenver.org. And on Thursday, August 27, the SCFD board will hear from Tier II organizations in the next round of what's certain to become a difficult grant year.
All the tough talk is enough to make you want to head to Pueblo, where the Colorado State Fair kicks off on August 28 (go to www.coloradostatefair.com). Bring back plenty of stuffed animals.

Audit and Certification of Trustworthy Digital Repositories: Recommended Practice, Issue 1
Date: September 2011
Creator: CCSDS Secretariat, Space Communications and Navigation Office, 7L70
Description: This document is a technical Recommendation to use as the basis for providing audit and certification of the trustworthiness of digital repositories. It provides a detailed specification of criteria by which digital repositories shall be audited. The OAIS Reference Model contained a roadmap which included the need for a certification standard. The initial work was to be carried out outside CCSDS and then brought back into CCSDS to take into the standard. In 2003, Research Libraries Group (RLG) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) created a joint task force to specifically address digital repository certification. That task force published Trustworthy Repositories Audit & Certification: Criteria and Checklist (TRAC—reference [B3]), on which this Recommended Practice is based. Through the process of normal evolution, it is expected that expansion, deletion, or modification of this document may occur. This Recommended Practice is therefore subject to CCSDS document management and change control procedures, which are defined in the Procedures Manual for the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems. Current versions of CCSDS documents are maintained at the CCSDS Web site: http://www.ccsds.org/

New Roles for New Times: Digital Curation for Preservation
Date: March 2011
Creator: Walters, Tyler & Skinner, Katherine
Description: The report looks at how libraries are developing new roles and services in the arena of digital curation for preservation. The authors consider a "promising set of new roles that libraries are currently carving out in the digital arena," describing emerging strategies for libraries and librarians and highlighting collaborative approaches through a series of case studies of key programs and projects. They also provide helpful definitions and offer recommendations for libraries considering how best to make or expand their investments in digital curation. Issues and developments within and across the sciences and humanities are considered.

Folks, don't listen to this garbage. The stock wasn't behaving the way they waned so the reissued the same trash. I read the report. I will save you the trouble. It was an opinion piece saying that their monopoly is over. Mobileye is actually about software not hardware, that is where the bears go wrong. The company is growing at 80 %. year over year and about 20% sequentially. They are trading at 53x earning growing at 70-80 percent. PEG is below 1. Market share is 90 plus percent.. Not over priced. The CEO of Citron Andrew Left has been disbarred by he National Futures Association for fraud. Don't be scammed.
Debt has swamped the value of the company. The market value according to Yahoo is 6 billion and the debt is 11 billion.
Sentiment: Sell
One guy says boo and every one runs to sell? Is this guy Warren Buffet or something? Is the time to buy now or 70 like one guy says. Did Mickey just die or something? What is wrong with Disney?
The advice is don't buy oil stocks. Oil is a cyclical commodity and so if you want safe, don't go into commodities. XOM is the safest of the integrated oils but you will be better off going to consumer non durable's. Why not SJM, HSY or even PG. GIS is battered and now has a 3% yield. All are strong stable companies with growing dividends.
Now maybe we get capitulation selling and can be done with the selloff.
Who keeps selling. Is is panic? Short sellers? What?
I have no position in it but I have no idea why it goes down just about every day. It is down 15% for the year. What is so bad?
There will not be a divvy raise for a long time. A divvy cut will happen if we get another year of sub $50 oil. Why even bother? Why not buy a company that is raising dividends.
Sorry but the industry is in consolidation. It is one of the reasons that I bought WHR. The smaller players are being gobbled up. Amana, Kitchen Aid and Jenn Air all Whirlpool products. Kenmore is a Whirlpool. Maytag? bought out by Whirlpool. Fewer players equal higher prices. It is becoming an oligopoly.
A 20 percent drop in price was probably over done. Also Whirlpool owns a lot of domiciled companies.
You do need to know that their is a great consolidation going on in the industry. Whirlpool owns lots of brands. I guess you could go Korean.
Don't rush. Been posting on this board for months that you should wait for below 80 to buy. Now we are almost there. Long term buy between 73 and 80. I haven't seen capitulation selling yet. Suspect that will come at 80. I remember what one oil trader said several months ago. 40 is the bottom for oil. I think he is right.
You need to look at the 73 level which is around the 200 DMA, which is logical support. Ok call it 75 if you like, but that is where the stock is headed. It might be worth buying at that point. For now, let it fall below 80 before buying. I have been saying that since it was more than 100. People thought they were buying a bargain when they bought it above 100 after it fell 20 percent but earnings estimates are falling faster than the stock price. I do think XOM is a bit safer.
A lot of growth is already priced in. Chinese have gotten real good at cheating American investors. That Jack Ma guy really really can sell a company.
I bought today. Don't really understand the selloff although they seem tired to the energy sector. With cheap crude there may be less need for liquefied natural gas. I just think the dividend is safe and a 10 percent yield, I am willing to take the risk.
Sentiment: Buy
If they don't have the cash to pay it they won't. It is simple arithmetic. At this earnings rate they are bleeding cash big time. You can only cut expenses and sell assets so long. Sure they will pay the checks for a few quarters but if these low oil prices go on too long they will be dropping the dividend.
Sentiment: Sell
Well I said back in January on this very board that I wouldn't even look at CVX until it hit 80. People scoffed back then but look we are almost there. Below 80 there does appear to be some long term value regardless of the short term price action. 60-65 is certainly doable when folks hit the panic sell button. We may be stuck with 50-60 oil for quite awhile and the earnings stream as you can see looks quite different then it did when oil was 100 a barrel.

English Mastiff female
I have a pure breed English Mastiff female for sale without papers.
