Mr NEUMANN (Blair) (16:05): I speak in support of the Judges and Governors-General Legislation Amendment (Family Law) Bill 2012. The member for Mackellar has no idea what she is talking about on this issue. This is a case of making sure that governors-general and judges are treated the same way as every other citizen in this country with respect to section 79 and section 75(2) of the Family Law Act. That is what this legislation purports to do. The Constitution makes it very clear that the Commonwealth parliament has the power under section 51 to make laws in relation to matrimonial causes and divorce, and that is the basis upon which we have made laws under the Family Law Act—and it was a reforming Whitlam Labor that brought family law up to date in the mid-seventies with the Family Law Act.
In this legislation, we are making sure spouses and partners of judges and governors-general are treated in the same way as any other citizen of this country in the states and territories. The changes in this legislation go back a little way and I will explain that to the House. When someone separates in a marital relationship or a de facto relationship, or a same-sex relationship as a result of the laws we have passed, under part VIII of the Family Law Act they have the right to bring an application for property orders in the Family Court or the Federal Magistrates Court. The Family Court, in exercise of its power, can make a property order under section 79(1) of the Family Law Act and take into consideration the factors under section 79(4), which talk about the financial and non-financial contributions made to matrimonial or cohabitation type property. And the court looks at other factors under 75(2).
The situation with respect to superannuation has always been a vexed issue in family law. In fact, it was often the case that the courts engaged in quite unusual tactics to get around the situation that superannuation, whether a defined benefit scheme or an accumulation fund, was a source of income or an asset to a person's benefit. In the case of Coghlan v Coghlan of some years ago, judges referred to superannuation as another species of asset and not really a matrimonial asset. This has always been a vexed issue. It is often wives who are disadvantaged in these circumstances. If they have been together for a long time and the husband has a large amount of superannuation and there is a matrimonial house, a car, a bit of savings and property, it is often wives who have been disadvantaged by the non-treatment of superannuation whereby it is considered to be an asset.
Under this legislation, we are making sure that the partners and spouses of judges and governors-general are treated in the same way as every other Australian is treated if they separate, and avail themselves of the right to seek an order for property settlement under part VIII of the Family Law Act. The member for Mackellar raised the question of what the situation would be with a serving judge. If a judge is serving and is not yet qualified for a pension, at the time of the split the adjustment of the benefit would be based on the proportion that has accrued at the time of the split. With respect to property settlement, even if the person has not yet, say, qualified by reason of age for the superannuation, the trustees of the superannuation fund can adjust the superannuation by way of order or by way of a binding financial agreement. I have been involved in cases—
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop: There is no fund; it's consolidated revenue!
The DEPUTY SPEAKER ( Mr KJ Thomson ): Order! The member for Mackellar was heard in silence. She will extend the same courtesy to the member for Blair.
Mr NEUMANN: There are a plethora of superannuation arrangements, involving politicians, judges, military people, accumulation funds, defined benefit schemes. This legislation makes sure that everyone is treated equally. We want to make sure that the current arrangements happen as every Australian would expect them to happen. If the member for Mackellar has a look at the current arrangements for family law, she will see that, on that issue in relation to judges and governors-general, they are inconsistent with the idea that they should be treated in the same way as every other Australian. Does the member for Mackellar think that judges and governors-general should be treated in another way? That is not the case.
We want to make sure that, when this bill is passed, the former spouse will be able to receive his or her share of the superannuation benefit as a separate interest benefit. I have done thousands of these types of cases involving Australian citizens, and I have been involved in lots of cases involving very senior figures in this country. I am not going to start mentioning individual people that I have acted for or their spouses—
Mrs Bronwyn Bishop: I should hope not.
Mr NEUMANN: I tell you what: I have acted for more Tory politicians than Labor politicians in relation to family law cases—or their spouses, including people in chambers all over the place. I am not going to start naming them. It is a long time since the member for Mackellar has practised in the area of family law. She should have a good look at the law and what we are doing in this regard. This is a necessary undertaking. The fact that the coalition cannot bring themselves to just get rid of this anomaly goes to show the extent to which they will say no to everything—even to good law that actually fixes up irregularities and eccentricities. This legislation does that. It is a sensible piece of legislation that will make sure the family law splitting arrangements on superannuation are the same for all Australians. We on this side of the House do not believe that Australians should be treated unequally, even if those opposite believe that that is the case.

ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 25 (UPI) -- Harris and ITT successfully exchanged voice and data between their respective military radio systems using open-standard wideband JTRS technology.
The exchange between the Harris Corp.'s Falcon III AN/PRC-117G manpack and ITT Corp.'s Soldier Radio development model took place last week using the Solder Radio Waveform Version 1.01.1C, a U.S. military Joint Tactical Radio System technology being developed to serve as a standard for wideband tactical communications for the U.S. Department of Defense.
SRW will deliver voice, data and high-bandwidth networking capabilities to forces at the tactical edge.
"Harris and ITT have validated the utility and portability of SRW and are accelerating its availability to warfighters as part of a joint tactical wideband data radio network. This demonstrates the benefits of the JTRS Enterprise Business Model," said Brendan O'Connell, president, Department of Defense business, Harris RF Communications.
"The successful exchange of voice and data over SRW illustrates the ability of the AN/PRC-117G to add standard U.S. government waveforms from the JTRS information repository through technology insertion."
Following the success of the exercise, Harris plans to conduct additional testing to include additional SRW features, such as communications security and SRW Network Manager integration. The company is integrating SRW into the AN/PRC-117G manpack, with release expected next summer.
The ITT Soldier Radio is a next generation of software-defined wideband communication capability for the dismounted soldier that provides dynamic ad hoc networked voice and data under all combat conditions.
ITT said it leverages on the maturity of ITT-developed SRW, following several years of field experiments, demonstrations and tests.
Both radio systems were developed under the JTRS business model, which aims to spur innovation in tactical communications.

They better check that thermostat down in hell, because, believe it or not, AmigaOS4 has found a computer to run on - a computer which we will actually be able to buy. I kid you not. "After months of designs and negotiations Amiga, Inc. and ACK Software Controls, Inc. are pleased to announce that new hardware is on its way for Amiga users. Initially, two systems will be produced that address two different market needs. The first is a consumer entry design that will offer a complete product with a target price point of USD 500, while the second will be of a power design that would have a target price point of USD 1500. The PowerPC architecture will continue to be the architecture of choice for these new systems. Manufacturing and final price information along with product launch schedules will be following in the next week." Sure they can fly.

Ask anyone who's read one of our thirteen page reviews and they'll tell you, staring at a screen can be murder on the eyes. After a while, even a gorgeous, pixel dense HD display can make you want to spray your eyeballs with the garden hose.
That's the beauty of Amazon's Kindle Paperwhite. Its e-ink display is a half step between paper and screen, giving you the convenience of an ebook ecosystem with less wear and tear on the old optic nerve than an iPad 4 or Nexus 7.
It manages to be a more pleasant reading experience than your average display, all while having a subtle backlight and jaw dropping battery life: this new Kindle Paperwhite can go weeks without a charge.
Then again, so could last year's model. This new Kindle Paperwhite is an incremental update, a bit like going from the iPhone 4 to 4S, only without something as fun as talking to Siri.
On the outside, the two models are almost identical. Internally, the hardware has been given an uptick, and the uneven backlight, which left dark spots on the bottom of the original model's display, is completely fixed.
This has all been done without any markup in price on the WiFi model. A WiFi version of this new Kindle Paperwhite is still just $119 (£109.00) for a model with "special offers," (aka ads on the lock screen), $139 for the ad-free model. The 3G versions, however, have been bumped up ten dollars each, going for $189 (£169.00) and $209, respectively (last year's models were $179 and $199).
The Kindle Paperwhite is the best ereader on the market, bar none. If you need, or even want, an ereader, this is the one to have. The question is, do you need, or even want, an ereader?
The Paperwhite an admirably focused product. Unlike jack of all trades tablets, which will leave you wanting for a keyboard should you attempt some actual productivity, the Paperwhite does one thing and it does it very well. Reading a book on this device is simply a pleasure; voracious readers willing to forgo the artisanal qualities of a paper text will adore it.
However, for the gadget head who already has a tablet, is it worth dropping more money, and packing yet another device in your bag? The answer lies before you, so read on, and keep some Visine handy.
The overall build of the Kindle Paperwhite has always been quite diminutive, even when compared with little guys like the Nexus 7 or the iPad Mini. It's just 6.7 x 4.6 x 0.36 inches.
Your average tablet customer might feel cheated, since there's only 6-inches of screen real estate. That was our reaction when unboxing the device, but quickly realized that this is actually a fantastic size for an ereader. Even if your grip isn't terribly big, it's easy to hold in one hand for an extended period of time.
At a glance, Amazon's new Kindle Paperwhite is nigh indistinguishable from last year's model. It's built from the same soft touch plastic, comes only in black and bares a Kindle logo below the screen.
However, the new Paperwhite has an improved display with a more even backlight, and better contrasts. Also, if you're looking for a quick way to tell the model years apart, the new one has an Amazon logo on the back, while the old one says Kindle.
The Paperwhite is still very light, weighing just 7.5 ounces (213 grams). You can hold the Paperwhite between your thumb and forefinger with ease. It's even easier to hold in one hand than your average paperback book, since there are no pages or front cover to pin back as you read.
Some might complain that the Paperwhite hasn't dropped any weight since last year's model, but it's something of a moot point in our eyes. If it got any lighter it would be at risk of being swept up by an errant breeze. It's still small enough to toss in a bag on impulse, in hopes of finding some spare time to read.
On the rear of the Paperwhite you have one large Amazon logo. The backing is the same material as the front, with no extra grip. Amazon and other third-parties make a lot of nice cases for the Paperwhite. The device is the tiniest bit slippy, and you might consider picking one up if you're going travel with it or plan to throw it carelessly in a bag. A drop can give the Paperwhite an unsightly scuff.
On the bottom you'll find a charging port and the power/lock button. The Paperwhite charges through microUSB, and while you will find a USB cable in the box, there's no AC adapter or wall plug in the box.
Amazon did the same thing with last year's Paperwhite. It's an odd, kind of cheapskate decision, but at least you can charge it with the plug for the smartphone you more than likely own, or just hook it into your computer. Also, you won't even need to charge the Paperwhite more often than every few weeks. More on that in the Charging and Battery Life section of this review.
The new Kindle Paperwhite is well built. Just like the original model, it feels solid and minimal, with zero fat on its frame. Anyone who's struggled with the bulk of a tome like Gravity's Rainbow, Infinite Jest or a meaty biography will love being able to hold this ereader above them while lying in bed, without fear of having their face smashed should they begin to nod off. Yeah, we've all been there right? Right?

Low Energy Challenges for High Energy Physicists
We consider a closed system where the parameter controlling a quantum phase transition is promoted to a dynamical field interacting with the quantum critical theory. In the case that the field has an energy extensive in the volume we can treat its evolution classically. We find that the field can become trapped near the phase transition point due to its interactions with the degrees of freedom of the quantum critical theory. The trapping/untrapping transition can be understood using Kibble-Zurek scaling arguments.
We will first review the rich variety of universality classes of membranes and the various models developed to describe their mechanical properties. We will then discuss the recent applications of the non-perturbative renormalization group to these models aimed at improving the understanding of the membranes' phase-space beyond the epsilon-expansion. Finally, we will comment on the implications of these results on various physical systems.
To the best of our knowledge, the fundamental laws of physics are Lorentz invariant. This means that condensed matter systems at finite density still display full Lorentz symmetry: it is just spontaneously broken (i.e. by state considered) and thus non-linearly realized. This simple observation allows to derive exact results about the spectrum of theories at finite charge density and suggests to classify condensed matter systems according to all the inequivalent ways in which boosts can be spontaneously broken.
Space-time symmetries are a crucial ingredient of any theoretical model in physics. Unlike internal symmetries, which may or may not be gauged and/or spontaneously broken, space-time symmetries do not admit any ambiguity: they are gauged by gravity, and any conceivable physical system (other than the vacuum) is bound to break at least some of them.
Vortex lines are a distinctive feature of superfluids and are characterized by a very peculiar dynamics. In this talk, I will first discuss the behavior of vortex lines in a non-relativistic superfluids in the incompressible limit. I will then introduce an effective theory of vortex lines coupled to sound which applies to relativistic superfluids. I will conclude by briefly discussing the similarities between the effective theory for vortex lines and non-relativistic General Relativity.
Modern materials abound in systems to which the quasiparticle picture does not apply, and developing their theoretical description remains an important challenge in condensed matter physics. I will describe recent progress in understanding the dynamics of two systems without quasiparticles: (i) ultracold atoms in optical lattices, and (ii) the nematic quantum critical point of metals with applications to the `strange metal' found in the high temperature superconductors. A combination of field-theoretic, holographic, and numerical methods will be used.
Recently its has been found that relativistic hydrodynamics requires modifications in the presence of quantum anomalies. We will follow the theoretical developments that leads to this discovery and look at modern applications of hydrodynamics with anomalies.
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking is a very universal concept applicable for a wide range of subjects: crystal, superfluid, neutron stars, Higgs boson, magnets, and many others. Yet there is a variety in the spectrum of gapless excitations even when the symmetry breaking patterns are the same. We unified all known examples in a single-line Lagrangian of the low-energy effective theory.
This hour will be devoted to a description of quantum turbulence,that is turbulence in superfluids. The first talk (~20 minutes) will be given by Russell Donnelly. He will describe briefly the problem of classical turbulence and how turbulence in superfluids is different. The second talk will be given by Carlo Barenghi who will discuss progress in the simulation of quantum turbulence which is capable of suggesting insights so far inaccessible to experiment.

NTSB's Hersman shows cool resolve amid disasters
WASHINGTON -- As a congressional aide in her 20s, Deborah Hersman stared down railroad executives after a series of West Virginia coal-train derailments, warning them to improve safety -- or else.
She got what she wanted. The companies agreed to inspect every inch of track for 30 miles and run their trains slower.
"It was a highly charged situation," said her boss at the time, former Democratic Rep. Bob Wise. "She resolved it so there was a lot more safety."
Hersman has shown that same steely persistence this week as the public face of the U.S. investigation into the Asiana Flight 214 crash in San Francisco.
Since becoming the National Transportation Safety Board's youngest chairman at 39 in 2009, the daughter of a former Air Force test pilot has been at ease in front of television cameras while working behind the scenes to get her agency access to crash sites and witnesses.
As the U.S. chief transportation-safety officer, the NTSB chairman is bound to rub some people the wrong way. Without the power to regulate, the chairman's authority is limited to investigating, recommending and, at times, scolding.
That can include pointing out the failings of federal agencies, local governments and powerful industries including airlines, automakers and shipping operators.
Hersman is tough enough to make her points, while empathetic enough to maintain contact with families of crash victims long after investigations have been completed, said Mark Rosenker, who held the NTSB post before Hersman took over.
"You're not going to make everyone happy," Rosenker said in an interview. "You're going to make some manufacturers and some operators uncomfortable. You do it in the philosophy and belief you're going to make transportation safer."
Her cool demeanor and devotion to her mission were summarized in a satirical story on the website Ryot.org this week with the headline: "NTSB Spokeswoman Deborah Hersman is a Seductive, Robotic Jedi, Soaring Through Time and Space to Keep Us Calm."
Hersman is licensed to drive motorcycles and school buses, according to her official biography. While no Jedi, she knows something about warriors in fast aircraft. Her father is retired Air Force Brig. Gen. Walt Hersman, who flew fighter jets in Vietnam and was an experimental test pilot.
She served as president of her homeowners' association for five years and has competed in triathlons. She's married to Niel Plummer, a software engineer at Lockheed Martin. They have three sons.
Hersman first worked as a 19-year-old intern in Wise's congressional office while studying political science at Virginia Tech. She became his senior legislative aide and later advanced to the staff of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation.
Along the way, she earned a master's degree in conflict resolution from George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.
As the senior Democrat staff member on the Surface Transportation subcommittee, she delved into railroad issues, trucking, buses and the maritime industries, said David Strickland, head of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, who worked on the committee at the time.
Both were hired by former Sen. Fritz Hollings, D-S.C., known for being an "energetic, excitable, high-volume guy," Strickland said. "At his most energized moments, Debbie was always cool and calm and collected, and the senator loved her because she was so poised."
Hersman was named an NTSB board member by President George W. Bush, R, in 2004 and is in her second two-year term as chairman, after elevated to that role by President Obama in 2009. Her terms on the board and as chairman expire this year.
Hersman isn't averse to standing up to a powerful company if she perceives its actions as violating protocol or getting in the way of her agency's work.
The agency rebuked Boeing in March for holding a press conference in Tokyo about plans to get its grounded 787 Dreamliner flying again. The company spoke without telling safety-board officials and provided its own conclusions about the causes of battery fires while the investigation was ongoing, it said.
In the Asiana investigation, Hersman has tangled with the Air Line Pilots Association, the world's largest union for pilots with more than 50,000 members at 33 airlines in the U.S. and Canada. The group accused Hersman of releasing information too early in the probe and feeding speculation about crew errors.
Hersman didn't back down when asked about the union's criticism this week. The agency is providing facts, while cautioning no conclusions have been reached, she said.
"We are the advocate for the traveling public," Hersman said. "We think it's important to show our work."
When Hersman suggested in December 2011 that distracted driving had become endemic in cars, buses, trucks, boats and aircraft -- based on a number of crash investigations across all modes -- she recommended a ban on handheld portable electronic devices, including mobile phones.
This year, Hersman's call to lower the standard for what qualifies as drunken driving from 0.08 percent blood-alcohol content to 0.05 percent drew the ire of the restaurant industry. The industry argued Hersman was wrongly targeting average diners when the vast majority of fatalities are caused by habitual drinkers, said Sarah Longwell, managing director of the American Beverage Institute in Washington.
The agency cast its lot with "anti-alcohol zealots" instead of focusing on practical solutions, she said.
Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., Commerce Committee chairman, pushed Obama to name Hersman as transportation secretary after Ray LaHood announced he would step down this year. Obama nominated Charlotte, N.C., Mayor Anthony Foxx.
Rockefeller advocated for Hersman "because she was so good," he said. "She's thoroughly energetic, thoroughly detailed and always accurate."
Even as a committee aide, Hersman showed the qualities needed to be a good NTSB chairman, Rockefeller said.
"You have to be methodical," he said. "You have to be detailed. You can't make mistakes. You have to be fair, and she is. But she's also very, very tough."
Wise, who later became West Virginia's governor, has watched his former staffer this week and sees "vintage Debbie."
"I'm watching today what I watched 20 years ago," he said. "A quiet but determined approach. Wanting to know all the facts. Listening to people, but also letting folks know the status quo isn't sufficient."

Smooth, seductive chocolate comes in many forms.
Butter Bits By law, butter must contain at least 80 percent milk fat (most of the remaining 20 percent is water). The fat gives cookies their distinctive flavor and makes them tender. Products that contain less fat do not give cookies the same texture and flavor as butter; the less fat the products contain, the less satisfactory your baking results will be. That's why many of our recipes call for no substitutes for butter. Unsalted butter is more perishable than regular butter and is stored in supermarket freezer sections.
Plus, the handiest gadget for shredding citrus peel is a long, thin rasplike tool called a Microplane. It's sharp, easy to clean, and quickly produces peel from any type of citrus fruit. The tool, made by Grace Manufacturing (800/555-2767; www.microplane.com) is available in blades ranging from coarse to fine. Look for it in the kitchenware departments.
Honey of a Sweetener The flavor and color of honey depend on the flowers from which it is made. Most honey is made from clover, which gives it a mild flavor and pale color. Store honey in a dry place up to 1 year. If honey crystallizes during storage, it's still usable. Place the jar of honey in a container of warm water, and occasionally stir the honey until the crystals dissolve. Change the warm water as necessary. To use honey in baking, it's best to follow a specially formulated recipe, because substituting honey for part of the sugar requires adjusting the amount of liquid, the leavening, and the baking temperature.
At one time, brown sugar was the result of a step in processing cane or beet sugar from a syrupy liquid to white granulated sugar. Today brown sugar is a combination of granulated sugar and molasses. The darker brown the sugar, the more molasses flavor it contains. Brown sugar keeps indefinitely in an airtight container in a cool dry place. Brown sugar that hardens or forms lumps can be softened in the microwave oven. Microwave 1/2 cup water, uncovered, in a 1-cup microwave-safe measuring cup or bowl on high for 1 to 2 minutes or until boiling. Place the brown sugar in a microwave-safe container near the water. Heat, uncovered, on high until softened. Allow 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 minutes for 1/2 pound brown sugar or 2 to 3 minutes for 1 pound. Our recipes call for packed brown sugar. This means the sugar is pressed firmly enough into a dry measuring cup that it holds the shape of the cup when it is turned out.
Here's a summary of the oat products most often used in baking.
Don't stop with raisins (dried grapes). You can purchase apples, apricots, bananas, carambolas (star fruits), cherries, cranberries, currants, dates, figs, peaches, pears, persimmons, pineapples, plums, mixed fruits, and fruit bits in dried form. They're all intensely sweet, chewy, and great for cookie baking.
Spices have a long, romantic history. Europeans once traveled so far for their spices that the search for a new spice route spurred exploration of the Americas. Today, however, spices are such commonly used ingredients that we take them for granted.
A Popular Butter Today it's the taste of peanut butter that attracts its many fans, but it was touted at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904 as a health food. Today, about half of the United States peanut crop is made into peanut butter, and Americans top the world in peanut butter consumption. By law, peanut butter must be 90 percent peanuts; no artificial flavor, colors, or preservatives are allowed. Peanut butter usually contains stabilizers to keep the oil from separating. Natural peanut butter, made with only peanuts and oil, must be stored in the refrigerator and stirred before use. Either type makes delicious cookies.
During processing, the juices from sugarcane are boiled. Mild light molasses comes from the first boiling. Dark molasses comes from the second boiling; it is less sweet than light molasses and has amore robust flavor. Our cookie recipes generally do not specify light or dark molasses because they react the same in baking, and the choice is a matter of personal preference. The final product created in molasses processing is blackstrap molasses, which is slightly bitter and has almost no sweetness; it's not used in baking. If molasses is labeled "unsulphured," no sulphur was used in the processing. Unsulphured molasses usually is a bit lighter in color and has a cleaner sugarcane flavor. Sorghum is made by boiling down the juices from the grain plant sorghum. It can be substituted for molasses in baking.

Auburn Family Can Take Solace in Campus Trees
In the wake of the poisoning of Auburn University's beloved, more-than-a-century-old, tradition-rich oak trees at Toomer's Corner, Forestry graduate student Nicholas Martin believes the Auburn Family can take solace from the fact that it is the campus-wide collection of trees, and particularly those in the Donald E. Davis Arboretum, that will leave the most significant and lasting impact on current and future generations of Auburn students and the community.
For his master's thesis project, Martin undertook the task of creating an inventory of trees on Auburn's campus as part of a USDA Forest Service grant. Working under the direction of Forestry Professors Art Chappelka and Edward Loewenstein, and Horticulture Professor Gary Keever, Martin utilized the i-Tree Eco protocol developed by the USDA Forest Service, which calls for an incorporation of data including tree species, size, health and location. The data is then used to calculate the environmental benefit provided by each tree, including total carbon storage and sequestration. Results show that with a total of 8,236 trees located on Auburn's campus, close to 4 million pounds of carbon are stored and 173,424 pounds per year are sequestered from the environment.
Martin notes that out of all the trees on campus, 891 are located in the Donald E. Davis Arboretum.
"Trees provide cleaner water, cooler temperatures and shade, and clean air. The benefits that humans gain from trees are huge and the Arboretum provides great benefit to the Auburn campus," says Martin.
According to Martin's calculations, the trees in the Arboretum alone provide 508,513 pounds of carbon storage and 21,302 pounds of carbon sequestration per year. Compared with the rest of campus, the Arboretum sequesters six times the amount of carbon per hectare. The Arboretum's trees are also responsible for an average of 16 percent of the total pollution removal on Auburn's campus, including carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide.
Included in the collection of trees at the Arboretum is a post oak called the Founder's Oak. The Founders Oak measures 88 feet tall, 47.3 inches in diameter, and 89 feet across the crown width. At more than 150 years old, i-Tree Eco placed a monetary value of $7,700 on the Founder's Oak.
"Emotionally, you can't put a price on a tree that was here before you and could last long after you have passed away," says Martin. "There is a great historical aspect to a tree that has been there for several hundred years. They are living legacies and living history."
The total tree worth of the Arboretum is estimated at $2 million, and the estimated replacement value of every tree on campus is close to $12 million.
"The monetary value of the trees is important because the campus, and particularly the Arboretum, is impacted a lot by outside services like utilities. Now that we can calculate the value of each tree, perhaps they might think twice before cutting another one down," says Keever.
Additionally, the pollutant storage and filtration provided by the trees on campus contribute to the goals of the American Colleges and Universities Presidents Climate Commitment, which was signed by Auburn University President Jay Gogue in 2008. The commitment calls on colleges across the country to strive for a carbon neutral campus.
Auburn was also recognized by The Princeton Review as one of the country's most environmentally responsible universities with inclusion in, "The Princeton Review's Guide to 286 Green Colleges." Designation as a Green College was, in part, due to Auburn's campus and forestry management, and environmental stewardship.
The Arbor Day Foundation, in conjunction with Toyota Motor North America, Inc., also recognized Auburn's dedication to campus tree management by designating the University as a Tree Campus USA 2010. Auburn also received the award in 2009, and was the first college or university in the state to receive the designation. The Tree Campus USA program awards institutions who demonstrate leadership both on campus and in the surrounding communities in areas of promoting environmental stewardship.
Beyond the national recognition and environmental benefits provided by the trees on campus and, in particular, the Arboretum, is an educational element that stretches across colleges and disciplines.
"So many people use the Arboretum throughout the year as an educational component including the colleges of Agriculture, Architecture, Forestry, and Sciences and Mathematics, the offices of Outreach and Sustainability, and the people living in the city of Auburn," says Keever. "Trees, I think, are an overlooked and undervalued asset. People tend to take them for granted but hopefully, with the (Auburn) president's promise to strive for a zero carbon footprint, that will change."

Katie Holmes is Bound for Broadway
Katie Holmes will reportedly make her Broadway debut in a production of Arthur Miller's All My Sons this fall.
Back in March, Katie was still in final negotiations, but now the deal is all but certain. Producer Eric Falkenstein told OK! Magazine he thinks Katie is perfect for the part.
"Katie is very well suited for the role of Ann," he says. "There is an additional layer of soul to Ann and from the work I've seen of Katie, she has always impressed with multi-faceted characters. She would nail it."
"Despite being in the spotlight and her celebrity status, the fact remains that she has a tremendous record of performances," he says. "I think Katie is a tremendous actor. Whenever she decides to come to the stage she'll be terrific."
A formal announcement is expected to take place within the next 10 days.

- Setting an actor's Crash state has the potential to destroy the actor if
the Crash state has one or more 0-tic states that end with Stop. This

was under the floor anyway.

Product Description
Americans are bombarded with perplexing and alarming media images: brand name thong underwear for ten-year-olds with the slogans Wink Wink and Eye Candy written on them; oversexed and underdressed celebrities gone wild; Bratz dolls and their sexy clothing line for preteen girls. How do we raise sexually healthy young women in this kind of environment
In The Lolita Effect, University of Iowa professor and journalist M. Gigi Durham offers new insight into media myths and spectacles of sexuality. Using examples from popular TV shows, fashion and beauty magazines, movies, and Web sites, Durham shows for the first time all the ways in which sexuality is rigidly and restrictively defined in media often in ways detrimental to girls healthy development. The Lolita Effect offers parents, teachers, counselors, and other concerned adults effective and progressive strategies for resisting the violations and repressions that render girls sexually subordinate. Durham provides us with the tools to navigate this media world effectively without censorship or moralizing, and then to help our girls to do so in strong and empowering ways.

1. We come with a large price tag.
Doctors are being encouraged by the federal government to ditch their messy handwritten paper records, replacing them with sleeker, quicker electronic health records that should improve patient care and reduce health spending. More physicians are coming on board: in 2013, 78% of doctors' offices said they were using some form of electronic health records, up from 18% in 2001, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But so far, the transition to electronic health records hasn't delivered the ease of use and savings advocates promised — and the choppy transition is having a ripple effect on consumers. Critics say the systems burden doctors with more administrative work and leave them with less time to see and treat patients. People seeing several doctors often still have to request paper copies of lab results or repeat the tests altogether. And record-keeping mistakes, which can threaten patients' health, remain a nagging problem.
Since 2009, the federal government has been paying medical providers who make the switch. Total incentive payments topped $20 billion this February, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and starting next year, doctors who don't meet certain requirements will need to pay a penalty.
Turns out, most doctors and hospitals could use the financial help. Implementing electronic medical records can cost $5 million to $10 million in the first year for a hospital with about 200 beds depending on the size and complexity of the electronic system, estimates Roeen Roashan, a health-care analyst with IHS Technology, a market research firm. A hospital twice that size could see a price tag ranging from $20 million to $30 million, he says. "It's an expensive investment," he adds.
But some smaller hospitals and doctor's offices find they can't afford to make the investment. About 6% of roughly 5,400 U.S. hospitals are still using paper records, according to the latest figures from HIMSS Analytics, a not-for-profit group that supports the health information industry.

Something Else #4 - Music Blogs
This post has been sitting around for a few weeks, because I keep adding stuff to it. However, with Mr. Clemens Goes to Washington airing tomorrow and pitchers and catchers officially reporting on Thursday, I figure I better get this up.
First of all, Totally Fuzzy ("your guide to the music blogosphere") posts as often as 10 times a day, highlighting various blogs. Gravy Bread offers a list of 1,500+ music blogs & sites.
Two blogs I check every day: Nargo the Bort and The Ultimate Bootleg Experience. Nargo's Tony Tiger also has blogs devoted to blues/jazz, country and videos for iPods. I'm pretty sure he does not sleep. ... TUBE features a wide variety of shows -- from Huey Lewis to Black Sabbath to Radiohead. Both guys usually post only soundboard or radio-sourced recordings.
A Truer Sound is Alt-Country; last August, the blog owner compiled a four-disc set of the genre. See also Setting the Woods on Fire (there's great stuff in the sidebar too). Wilco fans should check out The Owl and The Bear.
Other blogs I've been visiting lately: I Am Fuel, You Are Friends, Doctor Mooney's 115th Dream, Hear Rock City, Chris Goes Rocks, Power Pop Criminals, Licorice Pizza, Hot Sauce Lounge, Six Songs, Infinite Foolishness and WFMU's Beware Of The Blog.
Some blogs and boards devoted to one band: U2, Tom Petty, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Oasis, The Beatles, Van Halen (and others).
One of Not Thin Man's two blogs is Watching The River Flow, a mind-bogglingly huge collection of Bob Dylan shows. Dylan fans should also register at Expecting Rain and check out the discussion board. DVDylan might also be of interest.
Three punk & metal blogs: Hangover Heart Attack, Punk Not Profit, Punch Drunk.
This is only the tip of the tip of the iceberg. I'll likely post more blogs in comments as I find them, so sign up to receive future comments to this post. And feel free to share the music blogs you like, if you have any.
Note: The music files on these (and most other) blogs have been uploaded to a server site like Rapidshare or Megaupload. Without a subscription to these sites, you can usually download a single file only every few hours. The shows are almost always saved as RAR files (similar to zipped files), which require an application (WinRAR) to unpack and play.
The files are mp3s of varying bit rates. They should not be traded as the quality is not as good as larger lossless files (such as flac and shn). If the files are for personal use only, then mp3 is fine.
Lossless versions of concerts and studio outtakes are traded via bit torrent at sites like DimeADozen, Hunger City, Tape City and Traders Den. The Vine Factory has oodles of shows if you'd rather use the postal service. Sign up, copy the discs when they arrive and pass them on.

I'm a Dime a Dozen addict. If you do bittorrent shows, please stick around after you've finished to upload -- your share ratio should be above 1.00 to be a good citizen. I leave my computer on to achieve a good rating, but my upload speeds aren't good enough to do anything spectacular.

Ha, me too! I joined back in July 2004 when it was called Sharing The Groove. I'm pretty sure I've downloaded more stuff than I'll ever listen to!
Not sure if we are in the same threads, but I'm redsock there too. My avatar is my book cover!
Share ratio -- I was at 1.2 or so at Dime, then Rogers starting fucking with bit torrent traffic. So I dropped to .9 -- and that's with leaving stuff open for a week or more. Sometimes I get the same show (like a 4 GB DVD) through The Vine Factory to help my ratio since there's a fair amount of cross-posting.
If you care: Hunger City is great for Dylan. I've got a ton of his gospel shows through them.

Any Replacements fans should click here!!!
I've already got thull's 4-CD Sessions anthology, so I'm not sure what/if new stuff will be on these babies, but this is cool news!!
Also, I've thumbed through Walsh's book in hardcover -- it looks great! -- but I'm waiting for the paperback.

I don't know anything about blogs, and not much about music. However, I recently discovered Doc Watson, and it's all I can listen to. Do you know of any good bluegrass music blogs?
- February 12, 2008 at 11:09 PM
- L-girl said...
I love Doc Watson. If you're listening to bluegrass, be sure to go back to Bill Monroe, who pretty much invented the genre.
Don't know about bluegrass blogs, but they couldn't be hard to find if they're out there. Google Blog Search, for one.
- February 13, 2008 at 5:21 AM

There is this, but it looks more like news.
Nargo's country blog might have some bluegrass -- maybe A Truer Sound. Also, go to the Gravy Bread link and scroll through the alphabet.

I'm more into movies than music, but one blog I go to all the time is Benn loxo du taccu, a great source for music from Africa (and, occasionally, other parts of the world). A lot of what Matt posts is pretty rare, certainly in the US.

as both a WFMU DJ and regular JoS reader I am happy to see these worlds colliding! I appreciate the Beware of the Blog mention... I know you mentioned it at least once before, but didn't have a chance to comment at the time.
While it's not strictly blog-related, I'd like to make an additional WFMU-related plug, if I may: just about every WFMU show is archived in MP3 format for a month after it's aired. While you can't grab individual songs, many shows have playlists where you can click directly to specific tracks. If nothing else, it could be a good way to discover artists that you can then seek out on the music blogs and elsewhere.

I miss WFMU. Listening online doesn't help me. I need it from a radio, in the kitchen. Oh well.

Dime a Dozen was under yet another name after it was called Sharing the Groove that it had at the time I joined. Can't remember it.
I happened upon a nice history of bootlegs about ten years ago. It's called Bootleg: The Secret History of the Other Recording Industry. It's on Google books here . Heylin starts with how classical and jazz shows were bootlegged first, then gets into the history of the early rock boots, especially Dylan and the Stones.
At the time, living in Japan, I was going nuts over being able to buy bootlegs freely -- although at great expense. The beauty of the bittorrent sites is that you don't have to pay for them anymore. And often someone will clean a bootleg up and offer it at better quality than it would have been available for before. Of course, people still put bootlegs up for sale on eBay, so it's a matter of educating fans that they're available for free to keep the money out of these folks' hands.

The recession has slowed some projects, but residents feel good about the strength of their neighborhood.
A century ago, many Italians did make their home in the neighborhood just north of Downtown that now bears their name. But so did the Irish and Lebanese, Greeks and Germans - all immigrants eager to build new lives.
"A big, giant melting pot," said Joe Pishitelli, 83, who grew up in the neighborhood in the 1930s. "These people lived where the jobs were available." Those jobs could be found within walking distance at the sprawling Jeffrey Manufacturing Co. complex lining N. 4th Street, the Berry Bolt Works and Timken Roller Bearing, to name a few. Today, residents are more likely to be young professionals interested in restoring the 100-year-old homes in the neighborhood.
Italian Village is just east of the shops and restaurants of the Short North. To help better identify it, signs are being placed along main streets leading into the area.
The neighborhood was annexed to Columbus in 1862 and is known for its Italianate architecture. A great example is St. John the Baptist Italian Catholic Church, built in 1898. Each fall, the church anchors the Columbus Italian Festival, a hub of good food and music, singing and dancing, bocce and films.
The church was built for Italian immigrants who lived in nearby neighborhoods, including Flytown to the west, where Goodale Park is today, and along St. Clair Avenue to the east, said the Rev. William A. Metzger, pastor at St. John's and the administrator at nearby Sacred Heart Church.
The festival draws attention to the church and neighborhood, where residents have renovated their old houses while new ones - designed to fit in with the neighborhood - have gone up in recent years.
Between 2002 and 2005, houses in Italian Village increased in value 61 percent, the biggest jump in Franklin County. Since the recession began in 2007, building activity has tailed off. But developers are still working to build on vacant corners.
"The neighborhood is coming back," Metzger said.
Italian Village provides a less-expensive option to the Short North and Victorian Village, said developer Joe Armeni.
It's a blend of new and old. In 2004, the award-winning New Village Place apartments, a colorful array of one-, two- and three-bedroom town houses, opened on the site of what had been Taylor Terrace, a crime-plagued public-housing complex.
Nearby, Zachary M. Klein, one of two newly appointed Columbus City Council members, lives in a town house built in 2003.
Klein and his wife, Jennie Persichetti, were married in St. John's in 2007. Her parents attended the church, and the couple became involved in activities there, including the festival.
"Jennie and I, when we got married, looked for a neighborhood close to Downtown and the Short North," said Klein, 31, a lawyer.
Klein said he is excited about the potential of Wonderland, the former site of the Wonder Bread bakery on N. 4th Street, which a group of younger entrepreneurs is redeveloping into art and recording studios, rehearsal space and stores.
Some highly visible projects have stalled, including Ibiza, the proposed 135-unit condominium project on N. High Street that remains a vacant lot, and Jeffrey Place, the condominium and commercial project proposed a decade ago.
Jeffrey Place, a 41.5-acre site, frustrates Chris Vidoni, a member of the Italian Village Society board who lives nearby on N. 4th Street.
"It's a gateway to the neighborhood," he said. "It's not very pleasing to the eye."
Other projects continue to move along.
Last week, developer Joel Pizzuti updated neighborhood leaders on the planned 135-unit boutique hotel along High Street on the Italian Village side of the Short North.
The size and scope of the plan, which includes a parking garage west of High Street, sparked concern among members of the Italian Village Commission, which determines whether new homes or renovations fit the community's character.
Pizzuti said he is refining the facade and building materials to make sure they're what the neighborhood wants.
The project, which Pizzuti said he hopes to start this summer, could cost up to $50million, a pricey addition to a neighborhood that has been through hard times.
People began moving to the suburbs after World WarII and continued the migration into the 1970s. In 1972, residents formed the Italian Village Society to help turn things around.
Pishitelli, a retired Columbus firefighter, grew up poor on Hamlet Street in the heart of the neighborhood. He is a lifelong member of St. John's and still attends Mass there each week. He wrote a booklet on the church's history in its centennial year.
Pishitelli lived in the neighborhood until 1956, when his parents' home was demolished to make way for the 3rd Street viaduct.
He said the neighborhood fire station, which was half a block from where he lived, was a big part of his childhood. He remembers one firefighter who dressed as Santa Claus every Christmas for the neighborhood kids.
"He knew all our names," said Pishitelli, who now lives on the East Side. "They were always involved with children they knew were less fortunate."
Did they play a role in his becoming a firefighter?
"One hundred percent," he said.
"I will always be part of that neighborhood. It is never going to leave me."

The photo of the Venezuelan athlete who won gold in fencing Wednesday night and then boarded London's subway system hours later, letting strangers touch his medal, has spread around the globe.
At a time when the Olympic games are criticized for turning into a billion-dollar affair where athletes are treated as celebrities, Ruben Limardo's simple decision to take public transport, instead of a chauffeured car, has received international praise.
"What a fantastic thing to do! Must have given all the passengers a real treat," wrote one reader of Yahoo News.

"I hope they gave him a round of applause, he deserves it. Good stuff mate," said another.
"Wow can't imagine Michael Phelps doing something like that, well done!"
Leading up to the 2012 Olympics, the Monitor compared a much simper affair in 1948, the last time London hosted the games. "There was no Athletes' Village, nor special road lanes for VIPs. After winning gold in the 800 meters, American runner Mal Whitfield, still in his tracksuit, took the train back to team headquarters at nearby Uxbridge air base," wrote Ben Arnoldy here.
Many fans long for more Whitfields and Limardos in today's games. One Tube passenger – as the subway system is nicknamed – told the BBC that as Mr. Limardo came onto the metro, passengers clapped and cheered, and that the Venezuelan taught his fans how to say "well done" in Spanish.
"I've never seen someone so happy in my life," Chris Scanlan, told the BBC. "And I touched his medal. It's probably the first time a British hand has been on a fencing medal for centuries!"
Of course, Limardo is not the only humble athlete in London. The Monitor profiled several who have overcome great difficulties, without the support of sponsors or their governments, to make it as Olympians. Here is one example of a marathoner from Peru, with links to the other stories. She didn't even own her own shoes when she started out.
Venezuela will be celebrating its local hero when Limardo returns home (which he'll do in three days, according to his Twitter account). Limardo is the first athlete to have won a gold medal for Venezuela in 44 years. It is a rare piece of good news from Venezuela, where a highly polarized nation heads to the polls October 7 to either stick with President Hugo Chavez or choose a new leader, amid inflation and spiraling crime.
The victory of Limardo gives the nation a chance to unite, but it's likely to be short-lived. Our guest blogger dubbed his celebration on the Tube the "Photo of the Year." But in the comments section, another blogger doesn't let the celebration pass without a dig:
"A unique experience he won't be able to repeat in Caracas Metro, unless he has either a strong security detail or wants to lose the medal on purpose."
