Liverpool City Council plans to cut 150 jobs and close services
- 5 February 2013
- From the section Liverpool
Proposals to cut about 150 jobs have been announced by Liverpool City Council as it tries to save £32m from next year's budget.
Grants to organisations providing social care will be withdrawn and some voluntary groups will lose part or all of their funding under the proposals.
The city council is yet to decide on whether to freeze council tax or raise it by 1.8% to generate an extra £2m.
Labour mayor Joe Anderson said the city had "difficult times to get through".
The leader of the Liberal Democrats in the council, Richard Kemp, said any rise in council tax was "absolutely unnecessary" as the proposed increase would only raise £400,000 more than a freeze would as "the government will give us £1.5m to keep it level".
The £32m budget savings come on top of the £141m of cuts over the past two years and further cuts of £46m in 2014-15, £35m in 2015-16 and £36m in 2016-17.
Announcing the funding cuts in December, Conservative communities secretary Eric Pickles said authorities had plenty of scope to make further savings while "safeguarding vital public services" and "ending the something-for-nothing culture".
'Fairest and best way'
Under the council's proposals 150 jobs would be cut and a further 250 posts would be transferred to other organisations.
Mr Anderson said the council would do all it could to redeploy staff.
"We will do as much as we can to mitigate the damage to jobs," he said.
He said the budget proposals had been "a horrendous process with some extremely difficult and hard choices in order to balance the books for the next financial year, but also to prepare for the following year."
"I'm trying to apply the cuts in the fairest and best way we can but we have some difficult times over the next few years to get through."
"It is really, really tough to be contemplating reducing or withdrawing good services which are a lifeline for people.
"We've had to do it because we're having 52% of our funding taken away from us. The choice was to do that or set an illegal budget which we're not going to do."
Library closures
The plans include reducing funding to adult and children's social care, selling off four of the city's nurseries and withdrawing the subsidy to Everton Children's Centre.
Some of the city's libraries and Kirkby and Allerton municipal golf courses would close under the plans.
A restructure of the library network would save £1m a year while closing the golf clubs, which are running at a loss, would save £300,000, the authority said.
Funding for sheltered housing wardens would be withdrawn and landlords asked to fund the shortfall. The council estimates this would save £1m.
The authority is also proposing to charge for alarms in sheltered housing, to save almost £500,000.
Homeless hostels at Geneva Road and Aigburth Drive are also at risk, with closures thought to save £150,000 per year.
The council's Integrated Youth and Play Service and Truancy Watch could also be cut under the plans.
'Hardest hit city'
Mr Anderson warned worse was to come with budget cuts until 2017.
"The simple fact is that we get 80% of our funding from the government, and the savage cut in our grant means we are the hardest hit city in the country."
"We've taken out £141m already in savings and lost 1,600 jobs and we've cut funding to the voluntary sector, for instance, already and it's so sad we have do this.
"Even what we have done now will pale into insignificance with what we have to do over the next two years."
The council has yet to decide on increasing council tax or accepting a £1.6m government grant to freeze it, which is not available beyond the next financial year. The council could raise it by 1.8% which would generate about £2m income for future budgets.
The proposals are supported by the city council's budget working group which comprises of the mayor, Liberal Democrats and Liberal Party.
Mr Kemp said the savings amounted to £21m, as £11m of extra income was "mostly government funding" which could not be included in the overall figure, and that his party had only agreed to the measures "in extremis".
He added the council was "making cuts and not having discussions [with relevant bodies] about what needs to be done".
"We would not have carried on as a member of the budget working group, because we do not believe these fundamental discussions are being held," he said.
"We will continue to make cuts unless we have intelligent discussions with users about how you can make savings."
Consultation will now start on the proposals and they will be considered by the mayoral select committee on 12 February and the cabinet on 22 February.

Top teams are learning just how balanced O.C. is
The losses keep coming for Orange County's top teams.
Four top-10 teams suffered losses last week and two got knocked out of the top 10. Orange Lutheran is back in the top 10 after picking up three victories, and Aliso Niguel is making its debut in the top 10 after a strong showing in the Timberwolf Classic, which included a 2-0 victory over Cypress.
Tayler Jerrick pitched a four-hitter with 14 strikeouts to help Kennedy beat Pacifica, 2-0, in an Empire League game. That victory was enough for the Fighting Irish to make their debut at No. 6.
"The best way to describe it is it's anyone's game at this point," Pacifica coach Mark Campbell said. "There are several good teams not playing very good right now. We will see how they do down the stretch. This is the most balanced I've seen it since I have been at Pacifica. There are a bunch of teams who could win it all this year. There is a good chance it may not necessarily be one of the traditional powerhouse programs."
El Modena is out of the top 10 after losing four consecutive games, including Century League losses to Esperanza, 7-1, and Canyon, 4-0. It was the fifth consecutive loss to Canyon for the Vanguards.
"The challenge that we face as a team is that no matter where you're at you can't just go put on the uniform and expect to have the same level of success that the teams before you did," El Modena coach Steve Harrington said. "Those teams were gritty. Those teams were tough. Those teams had an undying devotion to succeed.
"What I see right now is we're trying to live in a tradition that we haven't built. Granted we're a couple of players down. It's not an excuse. Our challenge at El Modena right now is to be able to help these kids understand that we have the tools and the ability to be successful, but success is something that will only come through hard work, and while we put the work in you have to somehow have this undying devotion."
This year's Michelle Carew Classic, which will be held April 3-6 at Peralta Park, might be the toughest tournament of the season. The 32-team field features Amador Valley of Pleasanton, ranked No. 1 in the state by Cal-Hi Sports, Pacifica, West Ranch of Valencia, Canyon, Orange Lutheran, Piedra Vista of Farmington, N.M., Simi Valley, Los Alamitos, Esperanza and Vista Murrieta of Murrieta. The title game is April 6 at 7:30 p.m. ...
Esperanza third baseman Brynley Steele was selected the MVP of the Timberwolf Classic. Here is the rest of the all-tournament team: Hayley Copeland of Esperanza; Colette Riggs of Esperanza; Brittany Hitchcock of Ocean View; Tobi Salzman of Ocean View; Megan Gipe of Tesoro; Sydney Lahners of Laguna Hills; Cassidy Gustafson of Trabuco Hills; Ashley Ruiz of Aliso Niguel; and Holiday Cahill of Cypress. ...
Sunny Hills plays Simi Valley and California of Whittier plays St. Paul of Santa Fe Springs in the semifinals of the Savanna Tournament on Saturday at 5:45 p.m. at Yorba Regional Park. The winners meet for the championship at 7:30 p.m. ...
The championship game of the Katella Tournament will be played at 2:45 p.m. on Saturday at Katella High. ...
Here are some names to add to the signed and committed list: Dana Hills' Lindsey Cassidy (San Francisco State); Los Alamitos' Alex Finie (Loyola Marymount); Pacifica's Rachel Cue (South Dakota); and Aliso Niguel's Mekenzi Golden (Lesley). ...
This week's top games: Canyon at Esperanza, today; Rosary at Marina, today; Cypress at Kennedy, today; Laguna Hills at Aliso Niguel, Thursday; and Irvine at Ocean View, Thursday.

What is medroxyprogesterone (Depo-SubQ Provera)?
Medroxyprogesterone is a form of progesterone, a female hormone that prevents ovulation (the release of an egg from an ovary). This medication also causes changes in your cervical mucus and uterine lining, making it harder for sperm to reach the uterus and harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus.
Medroxyprogesterone is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy. It is also used to reduce pain caused by endometriosis.
Medroxyprogesterone is also used to ease pain and other symptoms in women with metastatic uterine or kidney cancer. This medication is not a cure for these conditions.
Medroxyprogesterone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What are the possible side effects of medroxyprogesterone (Depo-SubQ Provera)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

- menstrual periods that are heavier or longer than normal;
- sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body;
- sudden severe headache, confusion, problems with vision, speech, or balance;
- chest pain, sudden cough, wheezing, rapid breathing, coughing up blood;
- pain, swelling, warmth, or redness in one or both legs;
- fever;
- nausea, upper stomach pain, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);
- swelling in your hands, ankles, or feet; or
- symptoms of depression (sleep problems, weakness, mood changes).
Less serious side effects may include:
- changes in your menstrual periods;
- weight gain;
- mild headache, drowsiness;
- mild stomach pain;
- hot flashes;
- joint pain;
- breast tenderness;

What is the most important information I should know about medroxyprogesterone (Depo-SubQ Provera)?
Medroxyprogesterone can cause birth defects. Do not use if this medication if you are pregnant. Tell your doctor right away if you become pregnant during treatment. Also tell your doctor if you plan to become pregnant soon after you stop using medroxyprogesterone.
You should not use this medication if you are allergic to medroxyprogesterone, or if you have unusual vaginal bleeding, liver disease, or a history of breast cancer, heart attack, stroke, or blood clot.
Medroxyprogesterone may cause bone loss (osteoporosis) especially when used over long periods of time. Bone loss may not be reversible. Do not use this medication for longer than 2 years. Talk with your doctor about your specific risk of bone loss.
Medroxyprogesterone will not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases--including HIV and AIDS. Using a condom is the only way to protect yourself from these diseases.

Introduction to Management and Organizations
Introduction to Management and Organizations
Lesson Objectives
At the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
- Define management.
- Describe the 4 functions of management.
- Recognize managerial roles and skills.
- Explain the characteristics of an organization.
- Discuss the contributions of management theorists such as Frederick Taylor, Frank and Lillian Gilbreth, Fayol, and Max Weber.
- Define organizational behavior (OB).
- Discuss the systems approach to management.
- Outline current trends and issues facing managers.
For any business of any size to achieve its objectives, there must be equipment or raw materials to turn into products to sell; employees to make and sell the products or services; and the financial resources to purchase supplies, pay employees, and run the day-to-day business operations. To accomplish this, the business also needs to have managers who can plan, organize, direct staff, and control the work that goes on.
This section will introduce the students to the subject of management and organizations. It will examine the functions and roles of managers, the definition of an organization, and the issues that face management today.
Define Management
Traditionally, the term management refers to the activities (and often the group of people) involved in the 4 general functions: planning, organizing, leading, and coordinating of resources. These 4 functions recur throughout the organization, and they are highly integrated. Emerging trends in management include assertions that leading is different than managing and that the nature of how the 4 functions are carried out must change to accommodate a "new paradigm" in management. This course will help the students to develop a broad understanding of management and its history, and the areas of knowledge and skills required to carry out the major functions of management.
In the article Understanding Management's Progress, author T. L. Stanley (2004) wrote the following:
A glance back in time will provide a basis for understanding management's progress. Through an appreciation of where management came from and where it's headed, leaders can increase their effectiveness. Needless to say, management is evolving and a vigorous new profession is emerging. Today's supervisors and managers enjoy the fruits of an advancing management profession. Contemporary management and leadership theories abound. They include variations of traditional approaches of command and control. Present-day research has introduced the positive attributes of humanistic, empowering and participatory management. Management has changed and progressed to include several disciplines of study.
So, what exactly is a manager? It used to be easy to define who the managers were: they were the ones telling others what to do and how to do it. Today, the lines between managerial and nonmanagerial employees are a little harder to differentiate. One definition of a manager, as noted in the required text, might be someone who works with and through other people by coordinating work activities in an effort to accomplish organizational goals. Most organizations recognize 4 tiers of employees: nonmanagerial employees; first-line managers, often called supervisors; middle managers; and top, or upper level, managers.

People with autism often have difficulties in shifting their attention in response to social cues. In typical individuals, social cues, such as the direction of another person's eye gaze, cause automatic shifts in attention. It is unclear whether the impairment in attention shifting seen in autism is due to the social nature of the cue or to a more general problem in automatically shifting attention. The present study will begin to address this important question. Children with and without autism will perform a well-established task for measuring attention shifts in response to different cues. The cues will either be social in nature (eyes looking left or right) or nonsocial (arrows pointing left or right). The task will be performed while the subjects undergo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a technique used to image neural activity in specific regions of the brain. These experiments will determine the exact nature of the impairment in attention shifting, as well as provide information about the brain regions involved in this impairment. This research will advance our understanding of the neural basis of attention shifting problems in individuals with autism, which may provide a foundation for the development of interventions to treat this aspect of social impairment. | Project Status ONGOING 2009 |

NBC's upcoming pirate series "Crossbones" has cast John Malkovich in the lead role of Blackbeard.
The series, a sort of high-seas version of "Deadwood," comes from "Luther" creator Neil Cross. It centers on Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard, and his stronghold on New Providence in the Bahamas, circa 1715. The island is the first working democracy in the Americas, but it's also a more or less lawless place built on interfering with colonial trade routes.
The powers that be send an assassin named Tom Lowe to take out Blackbeard, but he soon finds himself identifying with his target.
Malkovich has done several TV movies and miniseries in his career — he has three Emmy nominations and one win for a 1985 adaptation of "Death of a Salesman" — but "Crossbones" will be his first regular series role. His recent movie credits include "Warm Bodies," "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" and "Red."
There's no word yet on a premiere date for the show, which was ordered straight to series.

Kisah Epal dan CEO nya
The Apple and iPhone magic
SAN FRANCISCO: It's easy to forget now, but Apple's magnetism was once confined to a cult-like following of geeks seduced by the elegance and simplicity of the company's computers.
Over the past decade, though, Apple has emerged as a trendsetter and a wealth-making machine – the rare company that appeals to the cool cats hanging out in hip cafes and the fat cats looking to make another killing on Wall Street.
In the process, Apple has left an indelible mark that extends far beyond that first personal computer Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak introduced 35 years ago. Since then, Apple has transformed the music, retailing, marketing and cellphone industries. Now, it's engineering yet another evolution in computing with the increasingly popular iPad tablet.
Those achievements have endeared Apple to the masses, turning its product announcements into the technology industry's latter-day version of a Beatles concert and turning its familiar logo into an emblem of exquisite taste.
Part visionary, showman and uncompromising taskmaster, Jobs assembled a team that had an incredible knack for anticipating consumer trends and popularizing them by designing devices that were easy – and delightful – to use. Apple didn't invent music players, smartphones or tablet computers, but under Jobs' leadership, the company convinced the masses that the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad were breakthroughs that they couldn't live without.
It seemed as if the second coming of Walt Disney and the rest of the "imagineers" who built Disneyland during the mid-1950s had come to Silicon Valley to lead the way into the 21st century.
In the past decade, Apple's gadgets have transformed society, enabling people to bring along their favorite music, books, videos and websites almost everywhere they go. In the process they inspired countless imitators and ensured that Jobs, who resigned Wednesday, will be remembered as one of the most successful CEOs in American history.
None of it would have happened if Jobs hadn't returned to Apple in 1997 after being pushed out of the company in the mid-1980s by John Sculley, a CEO that Jobs had lured away from Pepsico Inc. by asking, "Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?"
Jobs never left any doubt he intended to be a game changer from the time he and Wozniak, a high school buddy, planted Apple in a Silicon Valley garage. With the introduction of the Apple II – the first personal computer to display color graphics -Jobs provided a glimpse of how he would go on to put the "i" into personal technology and change people's lives.
The innovations kept coming as long as Jobs was at Apple (there was 12-year exile after the falling out with Sculley).
The Mac computer brought a graphical interface that could be clicked with a mouse. The iPod enabled anyone to carry around a library of music in their pocket. The iPhone changed the concept of mobile computing and popularized the catchphrase "there's an app for that." Most recently, the iPad is making the PC look antiquated as it creates more convenient ways to read, watch movies, play games and fetch information from the Internet.
Jobs' wizardry rescued a company on the precipice of bankruptcy and elevated it into the second most valuable business in America. It now has a market value of nearly $350 billion, behind only Exxon Mobil Corp. – a company whose fortunes are tied to wildly fluctuating oil prices rather than the beauty of a good idea.
Anyone who had the foresight to dip into their retirement accounts to buy $100,000 worth of Apple stock on the day Jobs became the company's CEO in September 1997 would be set for life: That investment would be worth more than $6.8 million now. When he took the job, Jobs foreshadowed the marketing hook for a new product line by calling himself "iCEO" to reflect his initial role as Apple's interim leader.
Just as many love affairs can be fleeting, so can the aura of seemingly invincible companies. It happened to IBM Corp., the computer monolith that Jobs likened to an Orwellian "Big Brother" in a 1984 TV commercial. More recently, auto maker General Motors Corp. needed a bailout from U.S. taxpayers – a far cry from its heyday as the biggest company in the world.
The last test of Jobs' genius may come as he tries to pass on his magical touch to his successor. He believes he has found the right guy in Tim Cook, with whom he has worked closely since 1998. The collaboration doesn't necessarily have to stop because Jobs will still hold an influential role as Apple's chairman.
By all accounts, Cook is a top-notch executive who has proven that he knows how to pull the levers of Apple's mystique. He has run the company during Jobs' three leaves of absence since 2004. He was the one responsible for tuning Apple's manufacturing process to solve chronic product delays and supply problems prevalent when he joined the company in 1998.
Still, it's hard not to shake the feeling that this may be the beginning of the end of an era – both for technological zealots trying to figure out when the iPhone 5 is coming out and nervous investors wondering whether to buy or sell the company's stock.
"Oh my goodness, I was terribly shocked!" said Chris Perez, 32, as he stood outside an Apple store in north Phoenix on Wednesday night. "He was the man that came up with everything 'i.'"

This is a Disney Princess themed toy box I made for my daughter. it is made from pine using all hand cut dovetail constructions. It is basically a smaller version of a traditional tool chest. It is painted 4 different colors and decorated with removable wall stickers.
So far it has been a big hit with my daughter! and it is built to last. So it can grow with her.
When my daughter out grows the princess age we will be able to repaint and re purpose this toy box as a blanket chest.
The last picture is the Toybox repainted and re-stickered in a new theme. Changing and evolving as our Daughter grows, :-) The current theme is Disney's Frozen movie

Orland Park's Broadhurst brothers look to impress
by Kelsey Peters / Chicago BlackhawksTerry (left) and Alex Broadhurst of Orland Park, Ill., warm up during Blackhawks Prospect Camp on Friday.
It was just like the old days. Mom and Dad piled the boys, their duffels and a half dozen hockey sticks in the car.
Well, maybe it wasn't just like the old days. The Broadhurst's were dropping their sons, Terry and Alex, off in Chicago for Blackhawks Prospect Camp, not exactly a peewee match or a pickup game at the local ice rink. After all, they are now 22 and 18, respectively.
"Just being here is unbelievable," said Alex. "Getting treated like a pro for a week is surreal."
The Orland Park, Ill., natives were two of the 46 players invited to Prospect Camp, five days of drills, scrimmages and physicals, at Johnny's West. The brothers are even rooming together, though they said there's been plenty of fighting, bickering and wrestling already.
This is Terry's second camp for the Hawks; he'll be a junior this fall at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. But Alex is the one with the bragging rights: He was drafted in the eighth round by his hometown team just weeks ago.
"It was fantastic; I couldn't have been happier for Alex," said Terry. "We were keeping our fingers crossed that the Blackhawks would draft him and once they did, myself and my whole family were really excited for him."
"He hasn't given me too hard of a time," he added coyly.
"It's an honor to be drafted by Chicago, and it's an honor for both of us to be here (at Prospect Camp)," said Alex. "It's our dream to play together."
The four-year age difference means they've never played on an organized team together, but there's still been plenty of competition between the two forwards. They first learned to skate at the Saints Spectrum (now the Bridgeview Park District Arena), but it was their unfinished basement that proved to be the perfect training ground.
"We had a net down there and pucks, and we just rollerbladed and played one-on-one against each other all day," said Alex. "Me and (Terry) have been competing our whole lives. I think we make each other better playing together."
While their playing styles are similar, their individual roles differ. Alex acts as center and playmaker and Terry as winger and finisher.
"I kind of like to skate long, use my speed. He plays a little more east and west," said Terry. "But as far as skill level goes, I'd say we're pretty much the same in goal-scoring, passing. He's probably a little bit better of a passer; I'm a little bit better of a finisher. They go well together."
We're pretty blue collar guys, and we've had to work for everything we have, and that mindset of working hard every day got us to this point. - Terry Broadhurst
Growing up watching Roenick, Chelios and Belfour, Terry and Alex were diehard Blackhawks fans and dreamt of playing together for their hometown heroes.
"To be able play at the United Center in front of our friends and family and the hometown crowd, I don't think anything would be better," said Terry.
But they're not there yet. There's still plenty of work to do at Camp and beyond if either want to ultimately earn contracts with the Blackhawks.
"The biggest thing for us is just kind of gaining weight and trying to get bigger," said Alex, at 5-10, 153 pounds. "For me, I'd like to be as fast as Terry, so I need to work on my skating a little bit. But there's never stuff you stop working on."
Terry plans to return to Nebraska-Omaha, where he's been working out with the conditioning coach four days a week all summer. While his season was shortened due to injury, he still registered career highs in assists (19) and points (30) with the Mavs in the 2010-11 campaign.
Alex is headed back to Green Bay (despite being a Bears fan) and the USHL for one more year, looking to improve on his 13 goals and 20 assists from last season. He hopes to join his brother in Omaha for the 2012-13 season, potentially their first chance to play on a team together ever.

Whether you're on the hunt for Madame Bovary, a Maurice Sendak coffee-table book, or the latest Twilight saga page-turner, Bookwise probably has a gently used copy tucked where you can actually find it — no small feat, considering there are more than 75,000 volumes in stock. If the store's plain exterior and humming fluorescent lights don't scream "you never need to enter a Barnes & Noble again!," half-off paperbacks and autographed Walker Percy novels might do the trick. As in a collector's home, the titles are organized lovingly and with attention to detail, with sizable sections devoted to classics, film, business, politics, New Age, children's books, and more. The "Granny's Bookcase" is worth a look for rare, old finds. Sorry, neat freaks — some overflow is piled in aisles, but Bookwise is spacious enough to accommodate, even providing some comfy chairs so you can take that tome for a test read.

Minor in French
The French minor consists of any 15 credits (five courses) above the elementary level in French language, literature or culture. Typically, this means two intermediate courses (FRE 201-202), plus three additional courses at the 300, 400, or 500 level. The department offers a different upper-level course every semester. Elementary (100-level) courses do not count towards the French minor.
Which course should I start with?
If you have studied French in high school or you speak French at home as a first or second language, you may not need to take elementary or even intermediate language courses. Consult the department's placement guidelines or speak to a French professor to determine the level that is appropriate for you. Native speakers of French can not earn credit for elementary-level courses. Students who took the AP test in French or the CLEP test can receive up to six credits that count towards a French minor. See the department chairperson for more information.
Summer Program in Quebec City, Canada
Earn six credits in French language and culture, beginner thru advanced levels, at Université Laval. Orientation by an SSU professor at the beginning of the program. Approximate cost (tuition, room, board) $2,500. Financial aid is available, See Dr. Blood

Honda-Ya to Open In Fullerton
Izakaya Honda-Ya |
Sharp-eyed Chowhound contributor and loyal SaFII reader OCSteve noticed that the old Sizzler on Yorba Linda Blvd. near the 57 in Fullerton is going to turn into a branch of the popular izakaya Honda-Ya. Honda-Ya's website confirms this and talks about a spring opening.
Honda-Ya has two other OC locations: one's on El Camino Real in Tustin, across the parking lot from Cream Pan, and the other is in Fountain Valley's small Japantown near Brookhurst and Ellis. The new location is located at 2980 Yorba Linda Blvd. in Fullerton, at the corner of Placentia Ave.
From steaks that would have to try hard to be mediocre to one of OC's best izakaya? Talk about a phoenix rising from the ashes... I can almost taste the hot yakitori and cold beer now.

Your Question: Which Museum Victoria exhibition is going to Paris this year?
The stunning Tjukurrtjanu: Origins of Western Desert Art exhibition, a collaboration between the National Gallery of Victoria and Museum Victoria in partnership with Papunya Tula Pty Ltd, is off to France. This exhibition was on show at The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia and is now being carefully packed to be sent to Paris for display at the Musée du quai Branly in October this year.

It is a wonderful example of cooperation between public institutions and generous private lenders to bring together and showcase over 200 paintings completed between 1971 and 1972 from the Papunya region of the Western Desert. This initial production of paintings represented the founding of the Western Desert art movement and led to an explosive growth in the Aboriginal art movement. Museum Victoria has loaned numerous artefacts for this exhibition from its extensive collections. Tjukurrtjanu also presents 150 objects, including 78 painted and incised shields, spear throwers, pearl shell pendants, stone knives, head bands and ephemeral body ornaments, that establish the paintings pre-existing Western Desert iconography.

The Musée du quai Branly is a recent addition to the museum scene in Paris, opening near the base of the Eiffel Tower in 2006. It has a collection of some 300,000 objects and is well known for its beautiful external 'living walls' featuring a variety of living plants and mosses. The museum exists to display and promote the indigenous cultures of Oceania, Asia, Africa and the Americas. It already holds collections of Aboriginal art from the north and central desert regions of Australia; bark paintings from Arnhem Land collected in the 1960s, contemporary acrylic paintings and a ceiling spectacularly painted by Indigenous artists.

The Tjukurrtjanu exhibition will show a Parisian and European audience how Aboriginal people use art to tell their stories and to ensure the continuation of their culture.

Australian artists have had huge success in overseas markets over the years, the Tate Gallery in London holds works by Sidney Nolan; Russell Drysdale enjoyed overseas acclaim as do current Australian artists such as Ron Mueck with his hyper-real sculptures. Yet it can be argued that Australia's Indigenous artists and their art are currently the best known examples of Australian art in the rest of the world. Indeed, this is the first time that an art exhibition solely developed by the NGV and Museum Victoria has been accepted in a major European venue.

Twitter Helps Boulder Woman Track Down Bike Thief
A Boulder woman says her savvy social media skills are what reunited her with a stolen bike.
The Daily Camera reports 30-year-old Elaine Ellis returned home Saturday morning to find that her bike lock had been ripped out of a brick wall and her $500 bike missing.
She quickly tweeted news of her missing cycle and included a cell phone photo a neighbor took of the thief as the crime was happening.
Ellis is a social media manager and has more than 3,000 followers.
Less than five hours after she sent out the tweet, one of her Twitter followers spotted the thief and informed police.
Officers arrested 41-year-old transient David Carroll Oldham on suspicion of theft.
Oldham could not be reached and did not have an attorney.

Islam in South America
(Original Source)
NOTE: This map comes from a Muslim source, but the numbers are exaggerated.
Believed to come in under fair use
In the Guyanas, and the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago, a lot of indentured Muslim workers did come in from India, Indonesia, and Asia. These Muslims can form a noticeable percentage of the local population; but these countries tend to have small populations.
While Arabs are among them, the Arabs are not the base of the Muslim populations.
The odd fact is that the Arabs among them tend to be Christian, as this page from a Trinidadian goverment website proclaims.
Syrian/Lebanese Presence in Trinidad and Tobago
The last group of immigrants to venture to colonial Trinidad originated in the region previously known as Greater Syria, which comprises of present day Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon. Many of the Lebanese hailed from the villages of Buhandoun and Amyoun while the Syrians came from villages in the 'Valley of the Christians.' These Arabs emigrated to the Caribbean from as early as 1904 in an attempt to escape religious persecution and economic hardship in their native countries.
Arabs are very religious and quickly assimilated into the Roman Catholic Community. Although the Syrian-Lebanese were either Maronite, Antiochian Orthodox or Orthodox, they preferred to join the Catholic faith because, according to Rose Abraham, "[the Catholic Church] is the highest, the strongest church…the only church Arabs felt is a good church." It can also be inferred that the similarity in rituals and teachings between the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches would have been comforting to the Syrian-Lebanese immigrants.
NOTE: The emphasis is mine.
Country | Total Pop. | % Muslim | % Christian | % Hindu | Total Muslim | Source |
Suriname | ~560,000 | 19.6% | 40.7% | 27.4% | ~110,000 | Wikipedia |
Guyana | ~753,000 | 7% | 57 % | 28 % | ~52,510 | Wikipedia |
French Guinana | ~236,000 | Unknown | Vast Majority | Unknown | small | Wikipedia |
Trinidad&Tobago | ~1,227,500 | 6.6% | 65.7% | 25.6% | ~81,000 | Wikipedia |
French Guiana is technically part of Metropolitan France; but has a population of barely 1/4 Million.
Together these four countries/areas are 2-3/4 Million, which would not equal one medium sized Latin American city. The Muslim concentrations in them are not majorities, nor are they significant for the whole continent even though they might carry local clout. But in both Suriname and Guyana, Muslims never rise to even one quarter of the population, despite what the map claims.
Again, we see the tendency of Muslims to exaggerate their numbers, as they do in the above map.
So the larger percentage of Muslims in the Guyanas, and Trindad and Tobago, is statistically inconsequential for Latin America as a whole. Moreover, these countries tend to be outside the Latin American world of Spanish and Portuguese – speaking English, Dutch, or French.
Moving back to Latin America proper: The 2% given for Argentina, and the 1% given for Brazil is probably exaggerated. Muslim authorities tend to exaggerate their numbers.
While Argentina might be roughly 1.5% Muslim, in reality almost all were non-practicing until very recently.


text: Really? I don't think so. She did it well in both of her SPs and looking at the fact that she had it combo every year before this one (and the reason for the switch had nothing to do with the fact that she had a tremendous problem with the jump either) I don't really agree. I think it is a mental problem stemming from the fact that she missed it at TEB. I'm more worried that she messed up on her 3-3 at the beginning. I'd like to know what happened there.

Twinrix is a vaccine approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to prevent infection caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in adults 18 years of age and older. HAV infection and HBV infection are HIV-related opportunistic infections. An opportunistic infection is an infection that occurs more frequently or is more severe in people with weakened immune systems—such as those infected with HIV—than in people with healthy immune systems.
The Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Opportunistic Infections in HIV-Infected Adults and Adolescents, prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the HIV Medicine Association of the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA-HIVMA), includes recommendations on the use of Twinrix in HIV-infected individuals.
Before receiving Twinrix, tell your health care provider:
Ask your health care provider about possible side effects from Twinrix. Your health care provider will tell you what to do if you have side effects.
A health care provider gives the Twinrix vaccine. The vaccine is injected into a muscle in the arm. Vaccination with Twinrix is usually given as a series of either three or four vaccine shots over a 6- to 12-month period. Read any printed information that your health care provider gives you about the hepatitis A and hepatitis B (recombinant) vaccine.
More information about the hepatitis A and hepatitis B (recombinant) vaccine is available:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 26,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 10 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

NEW YORK, Thursday—Tuesday morning I went by plane to Buffalo to speak at the convention of the International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers. I arrived in time to lunch with James B. Carey and some of the other gentlemen and then went to the afternoon session, which was televised.
The union seems to have adopted as its slogan: "What is good for us must also be good for the country as a whole." That strikes me as being a good guide for every industrialist and government official in this country. Groups must learn to think not in terms of their own interests alone, but in terms of the general welfare and how the development of their own interests can be made to fit into the picture so that their own interests will be a part of the well-being of the country.
The next step, of course, is to plan for international welfare and tie our own domestic plans into the general welfare of the world.
This requires thinking on a very magnificent scale, but we are famous for our ability not only to dream dreams but to carry them out to practical reality.
I think we could get the backing of our own country if we could just paint a picture of the needs of the world and how they could be met. Then we could actually take the initiative away from the Soviet Union, for this is an action for peace, not just promises for it.
I would like to see a group set up among us to make this plan and then tell us what we have to do to carry it out and tell the rest of the world what their obligation is. At least, it would prove to the world that we do not want war and that we have plans for peaceful development and that every nation, including Russia, has a place in our plan.
On Wednesday afternoon Dr. Alberto Gainza Paz, the exiled editor and publisher of the Buenos Aires, Argentina, La Prensa, came to see me. And he brought with him his wife, his mother and his sister-in-law.
They were most delightful guests and I was so glad to have this opportunity to tell Dr. Paz how much I hoped the day would come when his paper would again be under his guidance.
Dr. Paz's mother, whose home is in Uruguay, had, like so many other Latin American women, always gone to Europe for vacations and this was her first visit to the United States. She seemed pleased with the country as she has seen it so far, and I hope before the party leaves for South America that they all will come to Hyde Park and lunch with me.
In another week or so the drive up the parkway to Hyde Park from New York should be a riot of color. Our autumns are always the best show that we can offer visitors from almost any part of the world.
Most of my day on Wednesday was spent seeing people—all of whom had some special interest. One man in particular wants the opportunity to do psychiatric study on human relations, which might have, he believes, far-reaching effects on people all over the world.
I find it very difficult to evaluate what one can do to help people and what one cannot do simply because one knows nothing about the subject brought in for consideration.

The first record Eleni ever got was Shaun Cassidy's greatest hits, for her 4th birthday.
The first record she ever bought was X's Under the Big Black Sun. She bought it at Aron's records when it was located on Melrose Ave. John Doe (of X) was shopping and gave her his autograph, which she still has. It reads "Yours with a big X- John Doe". That was the last autograph she ever asked for.
The first concert she ever went to was with her best friend, Michelle, in 8th grade. They went to Oingo Boingo's Halloween concert at the Universal Amphitheater.
The second boy that asked her to be his girlfriend, in Junior High, popped the question during the "couple's skate" at Julie's birthday party. She said "yes" as they skated to Journey's "Open Arms".
Her first real kiss was with David outside of Straw Hat Pizza on Van Nuys Blvd.
The first time she worked with DJ Bonebrake (drummer for X), which was a teenage dream, she said "X is the reason I'm playing music" and he responded "I feel like I should apologize".
The first time she ever saw Chuck E. Weiss perform, he walked right up to her and smiled like a cross between The Cheshire Cat and an escaped mental patient. She met him a month later at Musso and Frank's. Tom Waits later asked how they'd met and Chuck responded "Hebrew school".
The first time she performed music was at Highland Grounds' open mic night. Her first show at Largo was because an acquaintance needed someone to fill in for him at the last minute. There were 4 people in attendance and one of them captured the event with his camera. She had a viola player with her that night named Steve Mirrione. He later won an Academy Award for editing the film Traffic.
Her father took her to two memorable shows when she was a teenager: Albert King and Doc Watson. Her father correctly predicted that he would win the raffle at the Albert King show, a free record, which she still has. Doc Watson performed at the Masonic Temple in Canoga Park.

BATAVIA – Batavia city officials want to know how much it would cost to repair the former First Baptist Church building at the corner of Washington and Wilson streets in downtown Batavia, so the building potentially could be reused.
The city has owned the facility since 2006, including the late 19th century original church, a 1930s north addition and a 1956 classroom wing. City staff has recommended hiring Northbrook-based WJE for a $26,000 fixed fee to assess the building's condition.
The Batavia City Council's Community Development Committee is set to discuss the issue at its meeting Tuesday.
Batavia Public Works Director Gary Holm told aldermen that over the past few years, the city has performed routine maintenance to ensure that the facility did not fall into a state of disrepair.
"It has recently been identified that the original church structure is in need of significant roof repairs," Holm said in a memo to aldermen. "Also, the adjacent church parking lot, which is now used for public parking, is in need of significant patching."
In its proposal to the city, WJE states that it plans to do a site assessment and review and come up with budget estimates on any work that needs to be done.
"Known issues include deterioration of the timber foundation, deterioration of roofing, lack of universal accessibility, lack of fire suppression, inadequate heating, lack of air conditioning, deteriorated electrical system, asbestos-containing floor tiles, and probable lead paint," said Kenneth Itle, WJE senior associate, in a memo to Holm.

A quick question about objects in jquery.
I'm having trouble calling functions in jquery events, here's how I'm doing it.
var myObj = {} myObj.test1 = function(str){ console.log(str); } $('.selector').click(myObj.test('test')); //prints test even though nothing has been clicked //same with $('.selector').blind({ click : myObj.test('test') })
the function get's called fine without any parameters.
something like this will work but $(this) seems to act funny
$(".selector").bind({ click : function(){ myObj.test('test'); } }); //prints test onclick //if I run test2 the sameway as presented above, this just retruns the myObj Information myObj.test2 = function(a){ console.log($(this)); }
Whats the best way to approach $(this)?
How can I call a function directly ex: $('.selector').click(myFunc); And pass in parameters at the same time?
I've just started getting into javascript so this is purely an academic endeavor
Objects share this in the local scope so the examples you have given won't work properly because myObj has an instance of this which allows control over the object but not the onclick event. What you need to do is the following so this is set within the correct scope but can be used in the local object scope. See the example below...
var myObj = {} myObj.test = function(self) { console.log(self); // Local scope var set onclick console.log(this); // Local scope var set in this object } $('.selector').bind('click', function() { myObj.test(this); });
As far as your second question goes I'm not really sure about as i have only ever dealt with passing a function reference and nothing more.
The problem there is that you are executing the function, which means that the function is run straight away, and the returned result from the function is assigned to the click event.
Instead, you should put it inside of an anonymous function, so that the function can then be run later on:
$('.selector').click(function () { myObj.test('test') });
oh cool, Thanks for the quick reponse, I was kinda hoping that it would only execute on the click event.
will myObj.test() use parameters passed in by jquery?
myObj.test = function(i){ console.log(i); } $('.selectors').each(myObj.test); //will this display the index(i)?
@SgtLegend: Cool thanks, I'm glad I got that sorted out, javascript has always been a brain teaser for me.

Rendering tutorial with Global Illumination-Cinema 4D
This one is my eighth video tutorial for creating a very nice realistic rendering with global illumination and HDR imaging in Cinema 4D. In my simple tutorial I'll show you how something is done and if you really want to understand the subject, you have to do more research and learn it on your own. I'll recommend learning more about HDR imaging which will help you alot in creating nice redering. By the way this is the link that I've downloaded my free HDR images. I've used Lobby Harvest Church.
This redering is basically my icon from my game Monster Fart in the app store.

Jaguar's cars have long been synonymous with movie bad guys, its vintage MkII sedan models frequently featuring as the getaway transport for villains of the 1960s. The British marque is clearly reveling in its bad boy image and has announced the first three "British Villains" actors to star in its upcoming Super Bowl commercial this February. Sir Ben Kingsley, Tom Hiddleston and Mark Strong will all star in Jaguar's cinematic Rendezvous spot, filmed by Oscar-winning British director Tom Hooper.
Set to air during Super Bowl XLVIII, February 2, the 60-second advert will play on Jaguar's slightly underdog image next to the more typical luxury brands, marking it out as a more left-field, discerning choice than its rivals. Viewers have already had a small taste of Rendezvous, called The Setup, during the NFL Divisional Playoff games on January 11 and 12. A further, 30-second preview will debut online on January 28. The Super Bowl film will be the first step in Jaguar's new campaign, which runs through July. As well as TV spots, the campaign will include print adverts, wrapped subway cars in New York City to advertise the new F-Type Coupe, and a series of media partnerships.
At the Detroit Auto Show, Jaguar's new brand vice-president Jeff Curry explained that the company's goal was to portray Jaguar as "modern British challenger brand" to established German luxury brands--and aims for a little more exclusivity than increasingly ubiquitous rivals like BMW, Mercedes and Audi. To this end, Jaguar has no intentions to launch a smaller sedan model to rival the Audi A3 or Mercedes-Benz CLA--though a challenger for the A4, BMW 3-Series and Mercedes C-Class is still in the works, and set to debut in the next few years.
Followers of the brand can keep up with the new British Villains campaign with the official #GoodToBeBad hashtag.

Despite the fact that in no universe (except John Updike's) do bras "go with" ice cream, Skinny Cow reps will apparently be traveling the country, throwing ice-cream-and-bra-fitting parties complete with free bras. On Facebook, you can even request that they come to your city so that you too can enjoy the spectacle our tipster imagines will involve "women standing topless in tents eating crappy icecream while someone wraps a tape-measure around their naked chest."While the relentless marketing of low-fat desserts to women is certainly tiresome, it's hard to get too worked up about this gambit. It's mostly just weird. What was rejected in the brainstorming session for this tour? Cup-a-soup? Two girls, one cup? Whatever the case, I guess it's nice to get free bras and ice cream.

US Airways and American Airlines announced an $11 billion merger Thursday, ending months of speculation the two major carriers would unite and form what aviation experts described as a "mega-carrier."
But the merger that altered the aviation landscape - and reduced the number of major carriers to four - likely won't have much of an impact on travel at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, airport officials and aviation analysts agreed.
"We expect everything will stay the same, in terms of the number of flights offered," said airport Director Barry Centini, who said he hadn't yet spoken with representatives from the carrier. "If anything, we are hopeful the merger will bring more flights to the airport."
In a conference call Thursday, AMR Corp. Chief Executive Tom Horton discussed the importance of retaining, or even adding more flights at airports the carriers are already serving.
"The networks are so complementary, we plan to continue service in all those communities," Horton said.
Before the merger, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter, US Airways offered eight departing flights - six to Philadelphia, two to Charlotte - at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport.
American Airlines discontinued its service at the airport in late 2011.
According to the carrier's website, the new American Airlines will offer eight departing flights from the airport - the same number of daily flights the two airlines combined to offer in 2012.
It is expected that those flights will continue to arrive in Philadelphia and Charlotte, airport officials said, though they won't know for sure until the details are finalized.
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area is one of eight locations, including the Allentown-Lehigh area, "across the Pennsylvania-Delaware region" the carrier will continue to serve, the carrier's website said.
"We had a very good relationship with US Airways, and they have been very successful here, so we are hoping that will carry over," said Tim McGinley, chairman of the local airport's bi-county board. "We have dealt with airlines merging in the past, such as when Delta decided to merge, so this is nothing new.
"Until they solidify the merger, we won't know exactly what is going to happen. We hope it changes for the better."
Aviation analyst Michael Boyd said he doesn't believe the merger will have any effect on travel or air fees at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport.
Because there isn't a lot of overlap among the carriers, he said operations at the airport will remain the same.
"Eventually, the carrier could add flights there, but that is about all I think that will change," Boyd said. "As big of a merger this is, it really doesn't affect a lot of these regional airports."

The Sydney Morning Herald has compiled a list of the year's worst vehicles available in Oz, and with the exception of the Subaru B9 Tribeca, we're slightly surprised at the results. True to form though, no utes were listed. Oddly, though, the Honda Legend (aka the Acura RL) made the list. Why? According to Morning Herald writer Bill McKinnon, "The Legend demonstrates that supposedly rational, analytical engineers, left to frolic unattended, can do some exceptionally dumb, indulgent things - such as using a devilishly complex all-wheel-drive system, supposedly to mimic a rear-drive car's characteristics, and ending up with a Camry-sized sedan that weighs 1.85 tonnes."

I just added an "other" option to the poll. I'd intended one to be there, as people tend to get testy without one. :-) I originally came up with a list by choosing from my own bookmarks some of the strips which see a lot of traffic, and then looking online for lists of the most popular strips generally. ysth suggested another list, and there was some discussion of how many options a poll should have. Since I have been busy, ysth was kind enough to link all the poll choices, suggest a final list, and post on my behalf. The "other" option got lost in the process. Had I been more attentive, I'd have noted this in the final draft; particularly in a poll like this one, we're not going to please everyone, and being able to vote "none of the above" tends to assuage people's outrage at seeing a list without $x. As for the choices which are there, one thing I wanted was to stick to web comics, rather than print comics which were also published on the web. Web comics, like blogs, have become quite the phenomenon of do-it-yourself culture which, often, turn out to be better than what the professional writers have had to offer. So if you read over the choices several times, wondering, with increasing frustration, "Where's Nancy?"... well, sorry. Anyway, I'm sure we missed some good choices, and it'll be interesting to find out about them in the comments. In reply to Re: My favorite web comic is:

Routt County Sheriff's patrol deputies and jailers soon will be armed with Taser stun guns, making them one of three law enforcement agencies in Routt County carrying the equipment.
On Monday, the Board of Routt County Commissioners discussed purchasing Tasers, which use electricity to temporarily paralyze a person's muscles. Routt County Sheriff John Warner asked for the purchase of 11 Tasers for the Sheriff's Office and two for the jail. Purchasing all of the stun guns would cost just less than $11,000.
If the commissioners approve the stun guns today, the Sheriff's Office is expected to have the guns in hand within two weeks and be trained and ready to use them in another two weeks. Every deputy would carry a Taser.
Warner told the commissioners that the Tasers would afford added protection for his deputies.
"It's one more level we have before we have to shoot," he said.
The Steamboat Springs Police Department and the Colorado State Patrol have Tasers. Warner said the Sheriff's Office would purchase the same models as the other agencies, the X26 Taser stun gun.
Similar in appearance to a handgun, a Taser shoots two fishhook-type probes as far as 21 feet. The probes stick into a person's clothing or skin and deliver a 50,000-volt shock for five seconds, unless the officer terminates the shock sooner. The electricity causes the muscles to contract, temporarily disabling the person.
A few years ago, the county discussed purchasing Tasers, but held off after the negative publicity the stun guns received. Warner's concerns were eased last year when Barbara Case King, the legal adviser for the County Sheriffs of Colorado, said she was comfortable with the state's sheriff's departments using Tasers as long as they had good policies in place.
The Sheriff's Office policy will define when Tasers are to be used, Warner said. The Sheriff's Department has looked at policies used in sheriff's departments throughout the state, as well as what the city police department has in place.
The policy will call for deputies to take people stunned by the Tasers to the hospital immediately after the incidents. Doing so will ensure that there are no arguments about whether the stun guns cause infections or erratic heartbeats or breathing, Warner said.
Warner stressed that studies have been done about the safety of Tasers, which have been somewhat controversial in recent years and have been linked to a number of deaths.
"The studies reaffirm the overall general safety and effectiveness. I am comfortable with moving ahead with the protection," Warner said.
Many of the deaths that have been connected to Tasers also have involved people who were under the influence of drugs or were heavily intoxicated, Warner said.
"There is a good possibility if they hadn't used a Taser, there would be the same sort of medical problems," he said.
Every deputy using the Taser will be zapped by the stun gun so they understand the force of the gun, Warner said.

I'm going to have to try this one again. My green beans ended up not as done as I like so I wasn't crazy about it. I always give a recipe a second chance in case I was having a bad day.
I have made this several times, and it's always a hit. Very flavorful, even when I cut back on the amount of butter used. One cautionary note that I didn't see mentioned -- watch the vinegar carefully while you are reducing it. I have had occasions where it boiled down too quickly at the end and became sticky and hard to work with. The flavor profile was also impacted, and not in a good way!
Decent flavor but nothing extra special. Made for Christmas dinner and everyone liked it but it wasn't requested again.
pretty tasteless for me...I wasn't that impressed
Great dish to make ahead, especially if you have other things cooking in the oven. I used very expensive balsamic but it was not necessary since you reduce it - I would make this again.
This recipe is a standard for me now. It's easy and quick and everyone loved it at Thanksgiving - bes of all, I made it the day before :)
This has become one of my staple recipes I serve during dinner parties. I use french green beans. Also great because you can make everything ahead of time and just toss in a skillet before serving. Everyone raves about them!
While easy there are better bean recipes on this site.
Everyone loves this dish! I have made it for dinner parties and for more relaxed get togethers. Everything can be done in advance and sauted just before sitting down to dinner. Easy and wonderful.
This dish is marginal. In the end, the only flavoring is onion and vinegar. Nothing special.
