Fact-checking the biography of Nova Peris. UPDATE: Fresh emails suggest Peris blackmail claims false
Andrew Bolt –, Friday, October, 31, 2014, (10:08pm)
How much trust can we put in the word of Senator Nova Peris?
From her official Labor biography:
Nova was born and raised in Darwin and her mother, grandmother and grandfather are all members of the 'Stolen Generations' ...
In fact:
The Federal Court investigated claims of a "stolen generation" in the Northern Territory in the Gunner and Cubillo test case and found children were not "stolen" for racist reasons as alleged, but were rescued for welfare reasons - and even then the numbers involved were relatively low:[I]ntegration of part Aboriginal children was not based on race; it was based on a sense of responsibility —perhaps misguided and paternalistic—for those children who had been deserted by their white fathers and who were living in tribal conditions with their Aboriginal mothers. Care for those children was perceived to be best offered by affording them the opportunity of acquiring a western education so that they might then more easily be integrated into western society…
Finally, there was absolutely no causative link connecting 'race' to a failure to have regard for the welfare of children. The existence of one does not preclude the existence of the other…
Even though one forced removal would be regarded today as one too many, the numbers in the Administrator's report, if accurate, do not support an argument that there was a large scale policy of forced removals occurring in this period.
And this conclusion:
...that evidence does not support a finding that there was any policy of removal of part Aboriginal children such as that alleged by the applicants: and if, contrary to that finding, there was such a policy, the evidence in these proceedings would not justify a finding that it was ever implemented as a matter of course in respect of these applicants.
Can Peris really claim her mother was "stolen"?
Nova's mother, Joan, at nine, and three of her siblings were sent to a Catholic mission on Melville Island when Nora developed typhoid and was unable to look after them. They stayed for six years. Joan then opted to live with foster parents in Adelaide and did not return to Darwin until 1969, by which time her mother Nora had hit the grog hard.
Can Peris really claim her grandfather was "stolen"?
After the war [grandmother] Nora met and married Johnny Peris, who was of Aboriginal and Filipino descent, and whose Spanish surname came from parents who adopted him after his mother had given him up.
Can Peris really claim her grandmother was "stolen" when she was sent to Moola Bulla station?
After the war [grandmother] Nora met and married Johnny Peris, who was of Aboriginal and Filipino descent, and whose Spanish surname came from parents who adopted him after his mother had given him up.
From the official Labor biography:
She was first elected in 2013 and has become the first Indigenous Australian to be elected to the Commonwealth Parliament.
In fact:
Peris is actually the fourth Aborigine elected to the Commonwealth Parliament, after Neville Bonner, Aden Ridgeway and Ken Wyatt.
New Matilda suggests Novas Peris's claims of blackmail don't check out:
Labor Senator Nova Peris - Australia's first female Aboriginal federal politician - has told Parliament that the publishing of the 'Ato Boldon Sex Scandal' emails by News Corporation earlier this week was part of an attempt to blackmail her over a long-running family dispute.
In an emotional speech to parliament yesterday afternoon, Senator Peris revealed brief details of three emails she received which she says supported her accusation the release of the Boldon emails was "an attempt to extract money and embarrass" her, and her family.
New Matilda has obtained copies of all three emails. Read in full, they do not appear to support Senator Peris' claims.
While New Matilda does not assert further information that substantiates the claim of blackmail may not subsequently emerge, an offer to Senator Peris' office late yesterday to provide evidence to support her claims of blackmail was not taken up.
The email dated October 19, 2012, which Senator Peris' statement suggests was the start of the blackmailing, does not appear to support Senator Peris' version of events.
After complaining to the 'aggrieved party' about a lack of funds in a deceased estate, Senator Peris receives the following reply: "For your records and to assist you with the identification of additional Estate items [the deceased] left his "tinny" on my pontoon with motor and accessories, a file box of taxation information for Peris Enterprises from 2001 and a folder of information pertaining to Ato Boldon's visit to Australia that you organized in early 2010. I am happy to pack up the written information in a box and include it with the boat/accessories and make it available to a representative of your choice for collection at a convenient time."
At no stage does the author of the email reference the details of the Boldon emails, nor does it appear that any threat can be inferred from the author's correspondence…
The second email – dated March 21, 2014 – is from an intermediary, acting on behalf of the 'aggrieved family member'.
The letter seeks Senator Peris' ongoing participation in an informal process to arrange access visits to children in Senator Peris' care.
Senator Peris told parliament that she was warned if the demands of the aggrieved family member were not met, it would result in "major trauma for everyone, especially the children and damage the reputation of some stakeholders."
The full transcript of the email does not appear to support this assertion.
The entire paragraph quote by Senator Peris reads: "Nova; the [redacted] families will eventually be granted access to the children you share in common with them. The decision that needs to be made is whether it is going to be achieved the right way, so as to minimize the further trauma for stakeholders, or the wrong way, which will only result in causing major trauma for everyone, especially the children and damage the reputation of some stakeholders."
The use of the term 'wrong way' appears to be a reference to proceeding to a full hearing of the matter in the Family Court, as opposed to reaching an amicable agreement among the parties, which can then be registered with the courts…
In an interview with New Matilda late yesterday, one of the authors of the emails flatly rejected any suggestion of impropriety.

Royal commission told: Julia Gillard cleared of crime, but not of sloppiness or receiving money
Andrew Bolt –, Friday, October, 31, 2014, (7:03pm)
No crime but stupidity, suggests the royal commission, and perhaps a lack of frankness about money received.
This is the good bit for Gillard:
FORMER prime minister Julia Gillard did not commit any crime in relation to an alleged corrupt slush fund operated by her one-time boyfriend, an inquiry has been told.
The lawyer leading inquiries for the trade unions royal commission has recommended a finding that Ms Gillard did not commit any crime and did not know about allegedly criminal activity by her former lover, union boss Bruce Wilson.
The recommendation is among the written submissions to the commission by counsel assisting, Jeremy Stoljar SC, published today.
And this is the bad:
However Mr Stoljar reports that some aspects of Ms Gillard's professional conduct as a solicitor "appear questionable" and that she likely did receive money from Mr Wilson for her home renovations — something she has consistently denied…
Ms Gillard advised Mr Wilson and his union bagman, Ralph Blewitt, on setting up the AWU Workplace Reform Association (WRA) in the early 1990s…
Mr Stoljar wrote: "Had she adopted a more rigorous approach to the task, it might have been more difficult for Mr Wilson and Mr Blewitt to have behaved as they did."
But it's all bad for Kathy Jackson:
Possible criminal charges were also recommended against Health Services Union whistleblower Kathy Jackson for her alleged submission of a false claim for payment to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Victoria in October 2003.
VICTORIA Police should charge CFMEU state secretary John Setka with blackmail, a submission to the Royal Commission says.
Jeremy Stoljar, SC, counsel assisting the commission, ... outlined concerns about Mr Setka's involvement in a $10 million boycott of concrete giant Boral.
"The Boral case study reveals the breach of many laws by the CFMEU and its officers," Mr Stoljar wrote.
The documents allege: "Mr Setka committed the offence of blackmail. It is submitted that the Commissioner should recommend that the relevant authorities in Victoria consider whether Mr Setka ought to be charged and prosecuted."

What's so hard to understand? We can't send doctors to fight ebola if we can't guarantee their care
Andrew Bolt –, Friday, October, 31, 2014, (10:04am)
Labor and the ABC have waged a bizarre campaign against the Abbott Government for refusing to send health workers to fight ebola without proper medical care guaranteed.
That campaign hit a snag yesterday on the ABC's The World Today:
ELEANOR HALL: Professor Tim Inglis from the School of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of Western Australia is warning in a piece published in the journal Nature that governments like Australia's can't protect their citizens from Ebola by retreating behind their borders.
Professor Inglis joins us now in Perth.
Professor Inglis, thanks so much for being there.
TIM INGLIS: Good morning.
ELEANOR HALL: In your article in Nature today you argue that the Federal Government is actually putting more Australian lives at risk by refusing to send medical teams into West Africa. The Government of course, says it is taking a prudent approach.
You don't agree?
TIM INGLIS: Actually, the way you present the information is not quite the phrase that I use.
I use the term "reluctant" and I can understand that reluctance because this is a complex issue that we're all having to cope with and deal with, and that reluctance, that prudent approach is something that those of us who are volunteering to do work in the hot zone understand.
We appreciate that people care about whether we're going to come back alive and kicking or unfortunately come back with a disease, which is obviously something anybody who goes into the hot zone wants to avoid.

Wastewatch #1
Andrew Bolt –, Friday, October, 31, 2014, (9:52am)
Australia's Ambassador for Women and Girls, Natasha Stott Despoja, works to ensure that the empowerment of women and girls is a central focus of Australia's diplomatic, development and defence concerns. By advocating internationally for women's equal participation in political, economic and social affairs, the Ambassador advances global progress, peace and stability.
Business class jet-setting to what practical effect?
An independent audit of the $445,000 given to Athletics Australia for a program at the centre of allegations against Senator Nova Peris found no misuse of the money, despite an overspend in its Indigenous department of $140,000, the Australian Sports Commission has said.... Jump Start to London [was] a national talent and identification project program for young Indigenous athletes…
Nearly half a million dollars for "talent identification"? A $140,000 blowout? With thousands given to a West Indian athlete to come give a talk or two?

CFMEU in the gun
Andrew Bolt –, Friday, October, 31, 2014, (8:47am)
A POLICE taskforce will be unleashed on rogue unions including the CFMEU in an unprecedented strike against criminality in the construction industry.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Premier Denis Napthine will today reveal the establishment of a joint police taskforce to focus on union officials and others engaged in blackmail, cartel behaviour, extortion, boycotts, kickbacks and intimidation.
The Herald Sun can reveal the taskforce of about 30 Australian Federal Police and Victoria Police officers will pursue criminal activities uncovered by the royal commission into trade union corruption.
It will focus on unions but will also pursue corrupt employers, debt collectors and mediators.
People who work as "mediators" in the building industry, such as underworld figure Mick Gatto, an associate of CFMEU state secretary John Setka, are likely to be pursued.
ABC bias watch: 774 presenter Jon Faine is attacking Treasurer Michael O'Brien for making the CFMEU an election issue. (The CFMEU has links to Labor.)

Greens fight green policies
Andrew Bolt –, Friday, October, 31, 2014, (7:22am)
The Greens have this year:
- opposed an increase in petrol excise, even though their own policy calls for more expensive petrol to fight global warming.
- opposed the Government's Direct Action scheme, even though the Greens demand something be done to fight global warming.

Another assault on our free speech
Andrew Bolt –, Friday, October, 31, 2014, (7:08am)
Greg Sheridan on the Abbott Government's draconian new restrictions on reporting on special intelligence operations:
A free society requires that the government must not be able to declare whole chunks of reality as simply unreportable under any circumstances.
The problem:
One law passed earlier this months imposes 10-year jail terms for those who reveal special intelligence operations while a law passed yesterday could impose similar terms for those who publish "news items" on the recruitment of terrorists.
One law passed earlier this months imposes 10-year jail terms for those who reveal special intelligence operations while a law passed yesterday could impose similar terms for those who publish "news items" on the recruitment of terrorists.
The Government's assurance:
"There is no possibility, no practical or foreseeable possibility that in our liberal democracy a journalist would ever be prosecuted for doing their job," Senator Brandis said yesterday.
He then said he had told the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions that it must get the attorney-general's consent before taking a journalist to court under the laws…
Senator Brandis argued it would be a "very powerful safeguard" if a political official assumed that responsibility.
NewsCorp Australia group editorial director Campbell Reid told Sky News that some of the company's newspaper reports in the past would have breached the new rules if they had been in force. NewsCorp Australia is the publisher of The Australian.
"Our point is that rather than having George Brandis or a subsequent attorney-general intervening on this, there are easy and sensible ways that the legislation itself can be amended so that the jeopardy to journalists doing their jobs is removed in the legislation," Mr Reid said.

I'm torn. I absolutely accept there are dangers here to free speech and a free society.
The one reservation I have is that it is no longer possible to treat the media as a just a few serious organisations, led by people alive to the national interest. Wikileaks should teach us what can be dumped by even media organisations claiming to be serious, and the rise of blogs and micro on-line publications expands the definition of journalist to include an army of cranks, extremists and enemies of the West.

I'm trying to write a web service for the
java.util.logging api. So I wrote a class MyLogRecord that inherits from LogRecord. I annotated this class with JAX-B annotations, including
@XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.NONE) so it would ignore non-annotated fields and properties. When I start up tomcat, I get errors that
java.util.logging.Level and other
java.util.logging classes do not have a default constructor, but none of my annotated methods make any reference to the Level class or any of the other
java.util.logging classes. These are referenced by the parent class.
My sub-class has everything it needs defined. How can I get JAX-B to ignore the parent class completely?
Update: I found another post on this, which suggests modifying the parent class. This is obviously not possible because I am extending a
java.util class. IS there any way to do this without modifying the superclass?
Update2: I found a thread on java.net for a similar problem. That thread resulted in an enhancement request, which was marked as a duplicate of another issue, which resulted in the
@XmlTransient annotation. The comments on these bug reports lead me to believe this is impossible in the current spec.

NORTH HAVERHILL, N.H. The alumni lawsuit filed against the College's Board of Trustees in November 2008 finally had its day in court on Friday in a hearing for the College's request for summary judgment, an attempt to have the judge, Timothy Vaughan, decide the case before it goes to full trial.
The current suit is the second legal challenge to the Board's fall 2007 decision to increase its size, ending the balance between the number of trustees selected by the Board and elected by alumni.
Counsel for both sides spent much of their time on Friday arguing whether the case should be dismissed as a result of the doctrine of res judicata, by which litigation cannot be filed for a case that has already been decided or that involves the re-litigation of an issue between the two same parties. The College argues the current lawsuit is a repeat of the matter brought before the court by the Association of Alumni in October 2007.
Richard Pepperman '87 of the New York law firm Sullivan and Cromwell, speaking for the Board of Trustees, argued that res judicata is applicable to the current case. He claimed that the plaintiffs were bound by the decision made by Association's executive committee in June 2008 to withdraw the previous suit against the College with prejudice, meaning that another case cannot be filed on the same basis as the one dismissed.
"The only element that plaintiffs really dispute, and that indeed can be disputed here, is whether the plaintiffs in this lawsuit were in privity with the Association," Pepperman said. "The answer to that question, your honor, is yes, both on the law and on the facts."
Pepperman presented what he called "an easy case" for the application of res judicata, pointing out, among other things, that the officers in charge of the Association were representative of the College's alumni at large and that the current plaintiffs are bound to the previous decision because they are alumni and, as a result, members of the Association.
Pepperman also said that the role of John MacGovern '80 in both of the lawsuits was grounds for res judicata. He claimed that MacGovern played a central role in the previous alumni lawsuit and was in privity with those who had filed it. MacGovern is also central to this lawsuit, Pepperman said, because he is litigating "through proxy."
MacGovern, through his nonprofit Hanover Institute, has been instrumental to the funding of both legal efforts.
According to Eugene Van Loan, the attorney for the plaintiffs, the College would have a much better case for res judicata had the previous lawsuit against the College gone to trial and been dismissed. He also argued against the College's claim of MacGovern's involvement in the current case.
Van Loan presented an amicus brief filed by former Dartmouth Trustee Todd Zywicki '88 suggesting that the court deny the College's motion for summary judgment. Van Loan said that the amicus brief presented certain "essential truths" about the case.
Several alumni leaders and College officials were at the Grafton County Superior Court to hear the case. Frank Gado '58, a former member of the Association's executive committee who has supported both lawsuits, sat with Joe Asch '79, who has written about the subject in guest columns in The Dartmouth and, more recently, online at Dartblog.com. Gado expressed shock at some of Pepperman's allegations, especially those involving MacGovern. He repeatedly shook his head and whispered "that's just not true" when Pepperman was making his claims.
Diana Pearson, the College's vice president for communications, was also at the meeting, as was Marcia Kelly, the secretary to the Board of Trustees.
The College issued a formal statement after the hearing, reiterating that Dartmouth's counsel finds the lawsuit to be "meritless" and that it hopes the judge will grant the College's appeal for summary judgment.
The court's decision on the matter is expected in January.

David Muir replaced Diane Sawyer on Labor Day, which, in news circles, qualifies as a soft launch. The question now is how much his network's rechristened "ABC World News Tonight" will tip the balance toward soft news as well.
Although Muir received a plum promotion, the announcement made clear ABC's priorities, and that when it comes to major events George Stephanopoulos – and the newly ascendant "Good Morning America" – is No. 1 not just in the morning race but in the network's heart. In that respect, ABC News reinforced perceptions that anchoring a nightly newscast is no longer necessarily the top-dog slot in broadcast news, especially when the morning telecasts have more time to sell, and thus put more cash in the company's pockets.
The struggle that looms, though, is whether that scenario will lead to a further softening of "World News," pushing the broadcast closer to "Good Evening…

As soon as its first owner departs from the manufacturer's delivery center, a new airplane technically becomes used (or preowned). For various reasons, however, 10 years after an aircraft's final production date is generally considered the milestone separating "newer" used business aircraft from "older" ones.
In deciding which aircraft to cover, we went well past this 10-year mark to provide information on all business airplanes and helicopters manufactured since 1997. This means our list includes some models manufactured before that year, as long as they were still being produced as recently as 1997. As a rule, a long production run is indicative of a successful aircraft.
We have not listed new models that, at press time, had yet to receive final certification.

I tried installing Gnome 3 on Ubuntu 11 through the Ubuntu Software Center, but when I start up a Gnome shell I get what I guess is Gnome 2.0 instead. The log in menu gives me a choice between Gnome and Gnome Classic, but they appear to be the same. I have the following graphics card:
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF108 [Quadro 1000M] (rev a1)
and I seem to be falling back to Unity 2D.
How do I get Gnome 3 or Unity 3D working?
I got Gnome 3 working, but now Unity 3D is no longer working. I tried installing Ironhide to enable Optimus support, but that didn't work, and eventually I disabled the nVidia card entirely which made it possible for Gnome 3 to work, but not Unity.

The Diaries of John Gregory Bourke, Volume 3: June 1, 1878, to June 22, 1880by Charles M. Robinson III
Pub. Date: 10/28/2007
Publisher: University of North Texas Press
John Gregory Bourke kept a monumental set of diaries beginning as a young cavalry lieutenant in Arizona in 1872, and ending the evening before his death in 1896. As aide-de-camp to Brigadier General George Crook, he had an insider's view of the early Apache campaigns, the Great Sioux War, the Cheyenne Outbreak, and the Geronimo War. Bourke's writings reveal much
John Gregory Bourke kept a monumental set of diaries beginning as a young cavalry lieutenant in Arizona in 1872, and ending the evening before his death in 1896. As aide-de-camp to Brigadier General George Crook, he had an insider's view of the early Apache campaigns, the Great Sioux War, the Cheyenne Outbreak, and the Geronimo War. Bourke's writings reveal much about military life on the western frontier, but he also was a noted ethnologist, writing extensive descriptions of American Indian civilization and illustrating his diaries with sketches and photographs.
Previously, researchers could consult only a small part of Bourke's diary material in various publications, or else take a research trip to the archive and microfilm housed at West Point. Now, for the first time, the 124 manuscript volumes of the Bourke diaries are being compiled, edited, and annotated by Charles M. Robinson III, in a planned set of eight books easily accessible to the modern researcher.
Volume 3 begins in 1878 with a discussion of the Bannock Uprising and a retrospective on Crazy Horse, whose death Bourke called "an event of such importance, and with its attendant circumstances pregnant with so much of good or evil for the settlement between the Union Pacific Rail Road and the Yellowstone River." Three other key events during this period were the Cheyenne Outbreak of 187879, the Ponca Affair, and the White River Ute Uprising, the latter two in 1879. The mistreatment of the Poncas infuriated Bourke: when recording the initial meeting between Crook and the Poncas, he wrote: "This conference is inserted verbatim merely to show the cruel and senseless ways in which the Government of the United States deals with the Indian tribes who confide in its justice or trust themselves to its mercy."
Bourke's diary covers his time not only on the Plains and Midwest, but also digresses to his time as a young junior officer, fresh out of West Point, and experiencing his first introduction to the Southwest. He comments on issues in the military during his day, such as the quirks and foibles of the Irish soldiers who made up a large part of the frontier army, and also on the problems of Johnson Whittaker, who became West Point's only black cadet following the graduation of Henry Flipper in 1878.
Extensively annotated and with a biographical appendix on Indians, civilians, and military personnel named in the diaries, this book will appeal to western and military historians, students of American Indian life and culture, and to anyone interested in the development of the American West.

The Trrill Of It All
One of my favorite new (to me, anyway) music-oriented blogs is Trrill, curated and smartly designed by an original aestheteNick Schollwho happens to intern with The Stranger. According to Scholl, Trrill is "concerned with (among other things) emerging, amateur, and miniature virtuosities in music, queer expression, and sensitive technology." And opera. Loaded with MP3s and piquant observations about great obscure music (including Paperclip People, Jean-Jacques Perrey, Bjørk, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Matthew Herbert, and Arthur Russell), Trrill is a bonanza of esoteric epicureanism.

In November 2003, Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, wrote a letter to the worldwide Muslim community. The occasion was Eid al-Fitr, the Islamic celebration that marks the end of Ramadan. The letter sounded much like others written since 1967, when the first one was sent: cordial holiday greetings mixed with a call to Christians and Muslims to work together toward peace. Essential to peace, Archbishop Fitzgerald wrote, is forgiveness, "for it opens up the possibility of beginning again, on a new basis, in a restored relationship." One month earlier, La Civiltà Cattolica, a Rome-based Jesuit paper whose contents are approved by the Vatican, published an article on Islam markedly different in tone. Criticizing predominantly Muslim countries for their treatment of Christians, Giuseppe De Rosa, SJ, wrote of Islam's "warlike face" and obsession with conquering Europe. He blamed the dwindling numbers of Christians in Muslim countries on their inferior status under Islamic law, and accused radical Islamists in Algeria, Sudan, and Nigeria of countenancing anti-Christian violence. He argued for greater religious liberty in Islamic countries, noting that while Christians were not allowed to worship freely in Saudi Arabia, the Italian government had donated the land for Europe's largest mosque, constructed with Saudi funds "in the heart of Christianity."

Crater Lake National Park is Oregon's most beautiful destination. But don't think it's time to head home once you leave. There's plenty to do and see in northern Klamath County, an area local residents like to call "Crater Lake's backyard." Here are some ideas on how to maximize your visit.
Maximize your week off with this itinerary to Crater Lake National Park. Award-winning Oregon outdoors writer Zach Urness helps you make the most of each day.
The Northwest's premier outdoor summer music festival presents performances by artists in pop, rock, country, bluegrass, folk, classical, world music and more.
Oregon's Wild & Scenic Rivers provide a beautiful and thrilling rafting experience for any skill level. Few places in America present outdoor enthusiasts more excitement and variety than beautiful Southern Oregon.
Select a Southern Oregon rafting outfitter and map your way directions on your mobile device.

Whitewater rafting on Oregon's Wild & Scenic Rivers offers breathtaking scenery, abundant forests and waterfalls, and a full range of mild to expert trips. The area is rich in Western history with old cabins, mines, and long-deserted Indian settlements dotting many runs.
Scroll down to see a map pinpointing area outfitters.
"When it comes to river rafting, there's nothing like Southern Oregon," says Pete Wallstrom, owner of Momentum River Expeditions. "In the spring, one of the craziest rides is on the Illinois River. In the summer, we have the Rogue River. It's everything people imagine a wilderness trip would be."
Then there's the Upper Klamath River, another of Pete's favorites. "It's one of the best stretches of summer whitewater in the country," he says. "It's a little less well known and that's the reason we go there."
Crater Lake, high in the Cascade Mountains range, is Oregon's shimmering blue gem. It's a must-see landmark during any trip to Southern Oregon.
Lonesome Duck Ranch as an ideal place for fly fishing and bird watching along the tranquil Williamson River. It's located 25 miles north of Klamath Falls and 39 scenic miles from the crater's rim inside Crater Lake National Park. Two comfortable, fully equipped guest houses await you.
The Glass Forge treats visitors as guests. You have an open invitation to look around, ask questions, stay as long as you like.
Here's a chance to soar through the trees. All you need is a harness, a helmet and a spirit of adventure smack in the middle of a forest canopy.
"We have views to the mountains, to Klamath Lake – plus we are in these amazing giant trees that just take your breath away."
Climb into a big, soft bed. Pull the blanket up to your neck and snuggle in for the night. And just before you doze off, remind yourself how great it is to sleep in the forest. This is what happens when you stay at the Union Creek Resort, the roadside lodge near Crater Lake National Park.
Music, film, and theaters, oh my! Out & About columnist Bonnie Glidewell highlights several venues in the Rogue Valley where theater arts take center stage.
Ready to ride? The Cascade Siskiyou Scenic Bikeway incorporates 5,085 feet of steep and winding climbing through oak savannah into fir forests, showcasing the ecologically diverse ecosystem of the region. The route starts and ends in beautiful Ashland.
Crater Lake National Park and Wuyishan National Scenic Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in China, are now sister parks. The agreement encourages cultural and environmental study exchanges between the two parks.
Lighthouses have always been a classic beacon home to those at sea. The five situated on the Southern Oregon Coast are a must-see for every explorer, whether on land or water.
To appreciate Crater Lake, it may help to first understand how it came to be. Once there was Mt. Mazama, a 12,000-foot volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range.
Distance riders get rare opportunities to peddle along a beautiful route without traffic concerns.
Southern Oregon is home to world-class fishing and rafting rivers, mountains for skiing, biking and hiking, and green valleys that produce award-winning wines. It's also home to North America's deepest lake and Oregon's only National Park, Crater Lake, which graces the back of Oregon's state quarter.
From the valley to the high desert, wildlife and nightlife share space. Southern Oregon is home to a pair of well-known attractions - the Britt Music Festival and Ashland's Oregon Shakespeare Festival - and to dozens of museums, art galleries, theaters, antique malls and tax-free shopping.
A ribbon of National Scenic Byways await, just a short drive from the California border. Follow the Redwood Highway to Grants Pass and the legendary Rogue and Umpqua rivers, where you'll find river adventures, jetboating, rafting, fishing and much more.
Discover Crater Lake National Park on the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway and experience the mountain lakes and world-class birding of the Klamath Basin and Oregon's Outback region.
History buffs will recognize the region as the site of Oregon's 19th-century gold rush, an era preserved within the boundaries of Jacksonville, a National Historic Landmark town.

See our new department video
Welcome to the Department of English and Film Studies. Our
department is composed of 21 full time faculty members and a smaller
number of contract academic staff. Each year, we are home to about 700
undergraduate students working towards their Honours, combined Honours,
Major, or Minor in English and/ or Film Studies degrees; and to about 30
graduate students, working at the PhD and Master's levels.
The emphasis of the Film Studies program is on reading film as narrative and as text. Students are introduced to a variety of films from Europe, Britain, Canada and the U.S.; to different film genres; to the history of cinema from the silent movies on; and to current film theories. Courses in both English and Film Studies develop students' ability to read and write, perform critical analyses, respond to works in their socio - cultural and historical contexts, as well as provide a solid grounding in literary or film studies.
The Department offers a Master of Arts in Gender, Nation, and Media which can be completed in 8-12 months. We also have a PhD program in English and Film Studies where students can focus on literature and/ or film. Our programs emphasize issues of representation, narrative styles, genres, and culture in a global context.

MIAMI -- Hee Seop Choi watched from the bench as his Florida teammates received their World Series rings Saturday.
It was all the motivation he needed.
Choi homered twice, wanting to do what he could to get his own ring, and the Marlins rallied for a 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Choi's leadoff homer in the sixth tied the game at 3, and Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run shot in the seventh to help Florida beat the Phillies for the 12th time in 14 games. The Phillies have lost nine in a row in Miami.
"I was envious," Choi said through an interpreter. "I wanted one, too. That motivated me."
The pregame ring ceremony delayed the game for more than 15 minutes and seemed to incite Philadelphia, which took an early 3-0 lead before the bullpen blew it for the second consecutive night.
The Marlins played much like they did last postseason. They started their comeback in the fourth when Choi homered to right with two outs. Alex Gonzalez doubled to open the fifth and scored on Juan Pierre's single.
Phillies starter Brett Myers allowed another hit and two walks, prompting bench coach Gary Varsho to go to the bullpen early. Varsho was filling in for Larry Bowa, who served a one-game suspension for spring training beanballs. Bowa watched the game on television from the visiting manager's office.
He saw Choi even the game with his third homer of the season. The left-handed hitter was supposed to struggle at spacious Pro Player Stadium. Instead, the player nicknamed "Big IHOP" by manager Jack McKeon has six of the team's 18 RBIs.
"We knew he had good power," McKeon said. "It was just a matter of being consistent."
Luis Castillo singled off Rheal Cormier in the seventh, forcing another pitching change, and Cabrera drove Roberto Hernandez's first pitch into the left-field seats.
Before Friday night's game, Cormier (1-2) had not lost since August 2002. Now he has dropped two in two nights to the Marlins.
"They never give up," Hernandez said. "That's a good ballclub, a young ballclub. There's not a game that they think they're out of. It's why they won well over 50 games at home last year. This ballpark works well for them. They don't give games away, and if you make a mistake, they make you pay."
Darren Oliver (1-0) gave the Marlins another strong start. He allowed eight hits and two earned runs in seven innings. Armando Benitez pitched the ninth for his fourth save in four chances.
Oliver went 13-11 with a 5.04 ERA in 33 games for Colorado last season. He is expected to keep the No. 5 spot in the rotation until right-hander A.J. Burnett completes his rehabilitation from reconstructive elbow surgery.
Oliver, like Choi, was fueled by watching the ring ceremony from afar.
"I'm jealous," he said. "I want one."
The Phillies were picked by many to win the NL East. But they are off to a 1-4 start after blowing a second straight three-run lead and losing to the Marlins again.
"It's not a big deal right now because they're going to get theirs," Myers said of the Marlins. "We'll get it going and jell, and it will be trouble for them."
Still, Myers noticed the Marlins have changed little from last season, when they won it all with strong pitching and timely hitting.
"They're a scrappy team," he said. "They're the world champions. What they did tonight is what they did last year. They come back on you, and they always fight back. They're not a team that panics just because they're down three or four runs."
Notes: Phillies OF Pat Burrell extended his torrid start with his eighth hit. He is batting .444. ... The Marlins, who led the majors last season with 150 stolen bases, swiped their first Saturday night. Mike Lowell, one of the team's slowest players, did it. ... The champs had their second sellout of the season, with 45,725 on hand for "ring night."

Data sources representing attribute information in combination with network information are widely available in today's applications. To realize the full potential for knowledge extraction, mining techniques like clustering should consider both information types simultaneously. Recent clustering approaches combine subspace clustering with dense subgraph mining to identify groups of objects that are similar in subsets of their attributes as well as densely connected within the network. While those approaches successfully circumvent the problem of full-space clustering, their limited cluster definitions are restricted to clusters of certain shapes. In this work we introduce a density-based cluster definition, which takes into account the attribute similarity in subspaces as well as a local graph density and enables us to detect clusters of arbitrary shape and size. Furthermore, we avoid redundancy in the result by selecting only the most interesting non-redundant clusters. Based on this model, we introduce the clustering algorithm DB-CSC, which uses a fixed point iteration method to efficiently determine the clustering solution. We prove the correctness and complexity of this fixed point iteration analytically. In thorough experiments we demonstrate the strength of DB-CSC in comparison to related approaches.

By U.S. ArmyOctober 22, 2012
Fort A.P. Hill, Va. - The senior enlisted advisor for the Army & Air Force Exchange Service visited here Oct. 18.
During his visit, Chief Master Sgt. Tony Pearson toured Exchange facilities, met with Command Sergeant Major Whitcomb, Soldiers and addressed Exchange-related issues here.
The Exchange is a joint non-appropriated fund instrumentality of the Department of Defense with a retail mission to provide quality products, services and food to servicemembers, their families,
Reserve and Guard members, plus military retirees. Exchange sales generate earnings to supplement Army Morale Welfare and Recreation activities as well as Air Force Services programs.
Chief Master Sgt. Pearson is one of 72 active duty servicemembers assigned to Exchange to
carry out this mission; the Exchange also employs more than 42,000 civilian associates worldwide.
"For every dollar earned, 67 cents comes back to the military community from the MWR dividend. Last year Fort A.P. Hill activities got back more than $2,000 -- so shopping at the Exchange is a win-win," said Chief Master Sgt. Pearson. "You get great products at a great price and your spent money comes back to the installation through the dividend."
During his visit, Chief Master Sgt. Pearson met with Fort A.P. Hill customers and Exchange associates, answering questions and concerns about the Exchange.
"Part of my job as the senior enlisted advisor is to visit bases throughout the world and find out what Exchange can do to better to serve its customers and fix existing problems," said Chief Master Sgt. Pearson.
"Also educating our customers on the Exchange benefit is the most important part of my job. Our goal is to be your number one choice for retail shopping. You can go anywhere to purchase an iPod or a TV, but when you buy from the Exchange, that's money going back to support our military and communities," said Chief Master Sgt. Pearson.
"More importantly, military clothing is the only place our military troops can buy uniform items on base without mail ordering them, making it our goal to have what they need when they need it so they can be outfitted properly," he added.

Targeter speedpaint by Spex84Watch

A ~2h speedpaint based on random shapes.
Very impressive!
that's pretty awesome for 2 hours
The texturing and style and coolness are well balanced. You really created a great picture. The damage on the machine gives it a look as though it isn't well maintained, but yet it also sees to be doing its job. Whoever built it made it reliable and sturdy so there could be millions of them, but no extra work. You did a good job telling a story with one picture.
This is incredible! ... whoa.. truly awesome artwork man. Congratulations
This is incredible! ... whoa.. truly awesome artwork man. Congratulations
I'd love to paint something like that...
You..... you little.... ARAGJSAJKHBGlkasdkjfhq2i7479qfhalfnc
brilliant, I hope I 'll be able to do this kinda painting one day
Thanks I would say the same thing of your marker sketches! I worked on learning marker sketching for about 3 years, and never really got to the level you're at
that's pretty sweet. Wish I could paint like that.
just looked again ... go with the second laser the ship is to distant and detail lacking for the particle charge
awesome all the detail is so precise . don't know whats happening with the red circle on the ship in the background though ... ha ha keep up the good work
thanks! I'm unsure whether or not I should keep that little red circle. It's a tad distracting. Maybe another laser? Hmm.
it just looks a little out of place . maybe turn it to like the particles of a laser charging . i think another laser will seem to synchronized unless you maybe put it going on some random angle
impressive tech elements and nice work with the light

PNP Chief Marquez opens the "White House"
President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino recently appointed PNP Chief Director General Ricardo Marquez as the new PNP Chief to replace the dismissed former PNP Chief Director General Alan Purisima. During Purisima's term, the so-called "White House" (the official residence of the PNP chief in Camp Crame) became controversial after reports came out that the re-construction in 2013 allegedly cost P25 million. But it was denied and the PNP claimed that only P11 million was spent for the renovation and generously donated by Purisima's friends in the Free and Accepted Masons of the Philippines. The newly appointed PNP Chief Marquez opened the said house to guests and media people as a part of transparency under his leadership.
I have heard the speech of PNP Chief Marquez and all I can say is that may he be able to fulfill most, if not all, of his objectives before his retirement in August 2016. May he be able to dump the "bata-bata" (patronage system) among men in uniform, cleaning up of the scalawags, salary adjustment and benefits of the PNP, and more. But I guess the most difficult task of the new PNP chief is to regain the people's trust over his people.

Antique mining collapsed
Early morning today, at around 3:45am, a portion of the northern edge of Panian mine in Caluya, Antique collapsed according to Semirara Mining and Power Corporation. There are five people who are confirmed killed and four others reported missing but also presumed dead. Antique Governor Rhodora Cadiao said it had been raining in the province for the past few days that might led to the said incident. The local government will conduct an investigation why the second incident occurred after the first incident of landslide in the same site happened in 2013 where five miners were also killed.

Abstract artists' Kahlo, Dali and Kandinsky
Search for "Abstract Artists." It was the recent assignment of my Grade 9 daughter in her Music, Art, Physical Education and Health (MAPEH) class. With the help of the internet, research assignments like this come in handy. So let me share with you at least three out of the ten abstract artists she listed in her notebook.
Frida Kahlo
Kahlo is a strong and brave woman who shared in her craft even the saddest and painful ones of her personal experiences. She is a Mexican, she suffered from polio as a child and was in a bus accident as a teenager where she nearly died. She underwent several operations and made painting her pursuit while recovering. She had almost 200 paintings and most of it focused on her life experience: a child, a teenager, a woman and a wife. Her self-portrait "The Wounded Table" in 1940 was not only one of her two largest paintings, but moreover, it showed her pain and disappointment in life, and hatred over her husband Diego Rivera. Currently, her works are being sold at high prices and are on display in the Frida Kahlo Museum in Coyoacan, Mexico.
Salvador Dali
Dali is a prominent, well-rounded Spanish surrealist painter with high imagination, extensive symbolism, extraordinary and extravagant behavior as a person and an artist. His artistic skill was not only limited in paintings, but also stretched out in film, sculpture and photography. He had over 1,500 paintings, produced illustrations for books, lithographs, designs for theater sets and costumes, drawings and sculptures, and other projects. His best known work as a surrealist painter was "The Persistence of Memory" in 1931.
Wassily Kandinsky
Kandinsky is not only known as a great abstract painter, but also with his theoretical writings. A very deep artist and active leader of the abstract movement, he encouraged other artists to create masterpieces not only with what they saw in nature or what surrounds them, but moreover to create something based on inner feeling and emotion as well. His "Blue Rider" in 1903 was one of his most influential creations wherein he left to his viewers' thoughts what he's trying to portray in this piece.

Luzon July 16, 1990 earthquake
Monday, July 16, 1990, at around 4:26pm, the densely populated island of Luzon was shocked with a magnitude of 7.8 earthquake.
Looking back 25 years ago, I was a B.S. in Commerce freshman student of the University of Santo Tomas. I was in the 3rd floor of our building when the big quake took place. Blinds, chairs, tables and people were moving involuntarily. Classes were suspended and commuting was really terrible and walking was the best way to get home then.
It was in the news where I saw how devastating the July 16, 1990 earthquake was. Seeing those buildings crumpled, I can't helped but thank God that it didn't happened to the building where I was then because our school building was already old.
With the advisory of the PHIVOLCS about the coming of another big quake in Luzon, I just hope that people will really take seriously the necessary preparations needed to lessen the aftermath of the said "Big One."

Hotel de Oriente at Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar
I first heard about the re-birth of Hotel de Oriente in the news and I must admit I got curious about the historical background of this once elegant and first class hotel in Manila in Philippine History. The replica is now sited in Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan where the recent four-day workshop and meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Conference (APEC) was held.
Hotel de Oriente was built in 1889 in Binondo, Manila specifically in Plaza Calderon de la Barca (now Plaza Lorenzo Ruiz). The creation of this Hotel was made possible by Don Manuel Perez Marqueti together with the helped of Spanish architect Juan Jose Huervas y Arizmendi. It had three floors with 83 rooms, stables for 25 horses, an attic, and a broad entrance floored and roofed in red clay tiles.
For more historical details and amazing pictures of this Hotel de Oriente, you can visit Manila Nostalgia.

Salon Services
When you go to a hair salon, you might not know what to expect as some of the best hair salons in Portland often offer different services. Most salons will style hair in various ways. There are hair treatments as well that can be done, such as conditioning treatments and hair coloring. Oxygen hair treatments are also an option. Some of the larger salons can perform services that include perms, rebonding and hair removal on various areas of the body.
If you don't want anything done to your hair, there are other services that salons offer to make you look and feel beautiful. Most locations do manicures and pedicures. Some will do facials, using safe materials that will remove the top layer of the skin so that you have a softer touch on the face. Body scrubs are also performed in order to remove the impurities. A hair salon could also give foot massages and back massages if there are qualified personnel who work at the location. Most salons offer packages if you want more than one service, or you can choose which service you want based on the price and how you want to look. Some salons sell gift certificates so that you can give the gift of beauty and relaxation to friends and family.

Now the wife is having random BSOD's, she plays a Facebook game - BSOD, Play WoW - BSOD. I've removed memory and tried one stick at a time so the RAM is good. I game her my 500 watt PSU so not enough power isn't a problem. As far as specs: 6GB DDR3, 4 HDD's, NVIDIA 9600GTS video card AMD Phenom II Quad Core CPU (125 watt version), Windows 7 Ultimate x32 and of course an 800 watt PSU Any ideas anyone?
x32 versions of Windows 7 can only address up to 4GB of RAM (with the exception of Starter which only uses up to 2GB). You have 2GB of RAM in your system that you can't use right now. That should not cause problems, but you may have an outdated driver that accesses the RAM in a weird way, and if it tries to go past the 32-bit memory boundary, it would roll over and end up trying to access RAM that it shouldn't have access to. In this case, Windows will BSOD to prevent that from causing more serious problems (like data corruption or security issues). Addidionally, bad drivers can trigger this behavior regardless of how much RAM is in the system. I suggest trying the following (in this order):
Could be lots of things. Thermal or RAM or PSU is where I'd start.
It turned out to be the CPU. I changed her CPU and she hasn't had a crash since, so now she has an AMD Phenom II X4 3.2GhZ
