MORE than 160,000 Tasmanian workers should get a superannuation boost from the Mineral Resource Rent Tax.
The legisalation passed through the Senate on Monday night.
Treasurer Wayne Swan said the lift from 9 per cent to 12 per cent superannuation, which is partly funded by the Federal Government, would add $9 billion to Tasmania's savings pool by 2035.
For example, Mr Swan said a 20-year-old hairdresser earning about $38,000 a year would get an extra $110,000 in her superannuation payout by the time she retired.
"A 30-year-old plumber on around $56,000 a year would receive an extra $95,000 benefit," Mr Swan said.
The rise to 12 per cent will be phased in between 2013 and 2019.
There would also be a superannuation contribution of up to $500 a year for people earning up to $37,000 annually because the Government is abolishing the 15 per cent tax on super contributions.
However, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said yesterday business rather than the mining tax was paying for the superannuation increase.
"The increase that the Government is putting through the Parliament at the moment will be paid for not by the mining tax but by business," Mr Abbott said.
He said the Government's "very modest contribution" to the $20 billion a year extra cost of superannuation would be $2 billion a year from the MRRT.
The Coalition opposed the superannuation changes.
It would scrap the $500 tax cut for low-income earners, but keep the increased super guarantee levy if it won power.
Mr Swan said that 52,000 Tasmanian small businesses would receive a cut to company taxes from July 1.
Federal Government figures show that 34,200 people in Denison and 31,500 in Franklin would benefit from the superannuation rise.
Tasmanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief economist Mark Bowles said increasing the super levy would undoubtedly provide a greater level of retirement security for Australians.
"But we note that the Henry Tax Review found that 9 per cent was adequate," he said.
"While business has to pay the majority of the increase, we hope there can be productivity improvements."
Australian Greens leader Bob Brown said 15,000 Tasmanian businesses would receive a cut in tax rates from 30 to 29 per cent on July 1 if the legislation for small business passed the Senate in May.

Lifesaver: An ultra-filtration water bottle
Remember the LifeStraw, a sip-and-survive filtration straw? Here's another solution for dealing with Gaia's water woes: The Lifesaver bottle. Michael Pritchard developed the device after witnessing the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, apparently pouring his life savings into researching a chemical-free solution that's able to purify 4,000 to 6,000 liters on a single filter. We're not clear if this will work on sea water, but it will elimiate bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, and all sorts of microbiological waterborne pathogens.
The invention, which won an award from Well-Tech, has a replaceable filter that's good for … Read more

Schizophrenia – only symptoms can be treated
Filed Under: Health & Science | Posted: 11/03/2008 at 2:23AM
Comments | Region: United States
The chances of attempting a suicide are greater in someone suffering from schizophrenia than a normal person. People suffering from Schizophrenia might experience the illusion of seeing people, who actually doesn't exist, heed voices which might not be heard by people around them, fail to focus at there workplace or to the work assigned to them, may continue sitting in one position for long without talking to others. They typically find people making plans to harm them, find difficulty to convey there emotions, speak, or may loose interest in day to day life. Some of these indications are often mistaken for normal tiredness, or getting bored of doing same thing again and again.

Aggravated assault on Law Enforcement Arrests
News Release (August 6, 2012)
Madison County Sheriff Ben Stewart reports that on Saturday the 4th day of August 2012 at approximately 8:00 PM, Sheriff's Office Deputies were dispatched to a large physical altercation at 457 Boundary Street in Madison Florida. In accordance with mutual aid agreements between the City of Madison Police Department and the Sheriff's Office, additional City Police Officers also responded to assist.
City Police Officer Cpl. Rosenburg was first to arrive on scene and identified some of the participants involved and ordered them to remain on scene to await the Sheriff's Office deputies arrival. One of the identified persons, Shelton Sanders, refused and attempted to flee the scene on foot and was apprehended by Cpl. Rosenburg and while Cpl. Rosenburg was attempting to handcuff Shelton Sanders, Deputy Chris Obrian arrived on scene. Deputy Obrian observed Cpl. Rosenburg struggling with Shelton Sanders on the ground and further observed a second subject, Vincent Sanders, aggressively approaching Cpl. Rosenburg shouting obscenities and referencing what he was going to do to all the Officers.
Deputy Chris Obrian, with the assistance of other officers arriving on scene, took Vincent Sanders into custody as he repeatedly resisted and continued to fight with the Officers.
The investigation discovered that the Complainant, John Simmons, had a past altercation with the Shelton Sanders several days prior and today Shelton came back with his Brother Vincent to continue the altercation and told Simmons that they were going to beat him. Both, Shelton and Vincent were asked to leave the gathering by the property owner, Lyndon Perry, and they refused. Witnesses present at the gathering that heard the threats immediately called 911 to report the altercation.
Shelton and Vincent Sanders were arrested and charged with the following:
Shelton Decon Sanders: B/M, DOB: 10/25/1981 of Madison, Fl. Charged: Aggravated assault on Law Enforcement Officer, Resisting with Violence, Disorderly Intoxication, and affray.
Vincent Lee Sanders: B/M, DOB: 01/25/1984 of Madison Florida, Charged: Aggravated assault on Law Enforcement Officer, Resisting with Violence, Disorderly Intoxication, and affray.

Helping You Plan Your Family
Boy or Girl
How is it possible for Baby Comp to show on the fertile days whether a baby is more likely to be a boy or a girl?
The spermatozoon that reaches the ovum first and then fertilizes it determines the sex of the child. If this is an X spermatozoon the baby will be a girl, if it is a y spermatozoon it will be a boy. There is almost the same number of X and Y spermatozoa in the man's semen meaning that in the first place the chances are 50:50. New findings have indicated that the two types of spermatozoa do not just differ in their hereditary factors but also in other characteristics. According to this research, the sex of a child depends on whether sexual intercourse took place on the same day as ovulation or some days before.
One possible explanation for this observation is that either the X or Y spermatozoon swims faster than the other, is larger or smaller, heavier or lighter but becomes exhausted more rapidly and therefore loses its ability to fertilize. Considerable energy is required for the sperm to first reach its meeting place with the egg, then to penetrate the thick capsule of the ovum before finally fertilizing the egg cell. After some time has elapsed only the hardier, but somewhat slower spermatozoa, have sufficient energy to achieve fertilization.
This has resulted in the following conclusions being drawn: if sexual intercourse occurs on the same day as ovulation, there is a greater chance that one of the faster spermatozoa will arrive first and fertilize the egg. However, if intercourse takes place more than two days before ovulation, the likelihood is greater that only the hardier type of spermatozoa will still be able to fertilize the egg.

8.1 General. Hours of work for regular monthly employees in the bargaining units listed in Appendix I shall be established by the employing official.
Overtime may be assigned outside of normally scheduled shifts and compensated in accordance with Section 8.6.
8.2 Definitions.
(a) Full-time Employee. A regular monthly staff employee scheduled to work forty (40) hours per week in a seven (7) day period.
(b) A regular monthly staff employee scheduled to work a minimum of twenty (20) hours per week but less than forty (40) per week in a seven (7) day period. Part-time employees shall receive all benefits of employment on a pro-rata basis, except health benefits coverage, which is determined by the state.
8.3 Work Day/Meal Period. Meal breaks shall be a minimum of thirty (30) minutes, unpaid and on the employee's own time, provided the employee is off-duty for that meal period. It is the Employer's intention to provide uninterrupted meal breaks.
8.4 Rest Breaks. Employees shall receive a fifteen (15) minute break during each four (4) hours worked. It is the Employer's intention to provide uninterrupted rest breaks.
8.5 Overtime. Work in excess of forty (40) hours in one (1) week performed by overtime-eligible employees constitutes overtime. The overtime hours worked by the eligible employees shall be compensated at a rate of one and one-half (1-1/2) times the employee's straight time hourly rate.
Overtime-eligible employees shall receive monetary payment as compensation for overtime worked; however, at the employee's request, compensatory time off at one and one-half (1-1/2) times the overtime hours worked may be granted in lieu of monetary payment. Monetary payment must be provided for any excess compensatory time accruals which exceed two hundred and forty hours (240).
Compensation paid to an employee for accrued compensatory time shall be paid at the regular rate earned by the employee at the time the employee receives such payment. Upon termination of employment, an employee will be paid for any unused compensatory time in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Use of compensatory time shall require the approval of the employing official with consideration being given to the work requirements of the department and the wishes of the employee. Compensatory time off may be scheduled by the employing official during the final sixty (60) days of a fiscal year.
Compensatory time must be used or paid for by June 30 th of each fiscal year. Exceptions to this policy may be approved by University Human Resources upon written justification of the extension.
For purposes of computing overtime compensation, holidays or leave with pay during the employee's regular work schedule shall be considered as time worked.
8.7 Overtime Policies.
(a) Whenever overtime work is required, the employing official shall determine the employees needed to work overtime on the basis of their relevant experience. Overtime shall be distributed as equitably as possible among qualified employees.
(b) A record of overtime hours worked by each employee shall be kept by the Employer, and such record of overtime may be reviewed, upon request, by the Union.
(c) It is intended that overtime wages for which salary payment is to be made shall be paid to the employee on the paydate following the pay period in which the overtime was earned. In no event shall such overtime payments be made later than thirty (30) calendar days from the end of the pay period in which the overtime was earned providing the payroll office has received the Exception Time Report (ETR) authorizing such payment within the time limits set by the payroll department.
(d) Temporary Modified Weekly Schedule. By mutual agreement, individual employees and their supervisors may agree to a temporary modified weekly schedule. This schedule allows employees to alter their regular daily working hours within a work week without generating the payment of overtime (unless the employee works beyond forty (40) hours in the employee's regular workweek). Such scheduling will not be considered a regularly recurring alternative schedule.
8.7 Change in Work Schedule Notification. The Employer agrees to provide a minimum of fourteen (14) calendar days notice to an employee in the event of an Employer-directed permanent change in the employee's work schedule. For temporary changes in work assignment occurring within the employee's assigned work week, the Employer will provide two (2) calendar days notice with the day of notification constituting the first day of notice. For emergency reasons, lack of work, an existing safety hazard to the employee or others, or mutual agreement between the Employer and employee under Article 8.6(d), the Employer may temporarily change an employee's schedule with fewer than two (2) calendar days notice. Temporary is defined as no longer than one (1) week.
8.8 Language Pay. Whenever a position has a bona fide requirement for regular use of more than one (1) language, or sign language (AMESLAN), or braille, premium pay of two (2) steps above the level normally assigned for that position shall be paid except for those instances where the position is allocated to a class that specifies these skills.
8.9 Alternative Work Schedules. Departments having continuous and/or public responsibility may establish independent work schedules in order to meet their special needs. Departments are encouraged to establish flexible work schedules and to give serious consideration to employee requests. Individual requests for flexible scheduling may be approved by the employing official, provided that such scheduling does not interfere with the effective operation of the department and shall be dependent upon such considerations as building accessibility and security.
8.10 Excepted Work Period Positions. Employees assigned to excepted work period positions normally do not qualify for overtime pay. However, when an employing official determines that the employee has been directed to work an excessive amount of hours for an extended period of time, overtime in the form of compensatory time or cash not to exceed a "time and one half (1-1/2)" basis may be approved by the University Human Resources Department.
When the University creates or modifies a classification such that it is excepted from overtime in accordance with the law, the Union shall be notified in advance of implementation. This language does not preclude the Union or any individual employee from challenging the University's overtime determination in appropriate forums.
8.11 Telework. The parties agree that the Employer may offer telework opportunities. If the Employer chooses to offer such opportunities, the Employer may enter into direct discussion with the affected employee(s) regarding the components of a written telework agreement. Such agreements shall be between the affected employee(s) and the department. Upon request, the Employer shall meet and confer with the union regarding the agreements. The agreements will address the treatment of work time in the event of equipment failure.
8.12 Staffing Issues. Staff are strongly encouraged to bring concerns about staffing issues to the attention of their department. Local 925 can also request that the Office of Labor Relations set up a Joint Labor Management meeting for the particular department. The Union can also place on the agenda of any Labor Management meeting the issue of staffing in particular departments/units at the University. The University will facilitate a discussion at the Labor Management Committee.

In Minimalist Approach to Campaign Finance Reform, High Court Rejects Entreaties to Overhaul Law
WASHINGTON -- Ruling 6-3 today in a closely watched campaign finance reform case, the Supreme Court reaffirmed the First Amendment's significant limits on regulating campaign contributions while rejecting entreaties to reconsider a landmark ruling on the issue.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which filed a friend-of-the-court brief in the case, said the court's minimalist ruling leaves the status quo intact on the important First Amendment protections enshrined in Buckley v. Valeo, the 1976 landmark ruling.
"The court today did no harm," said Joel M. Gora, author of the ACLU's legal brief and a professor at Brooklyn Law School. "No landmark First Amendment ruling was handed down and none was dismantled."
At issue in Nixon v. Shrink Missouri Government PAC, (No. 98-963) was the narrow question of whether the government is obligated to prove decisively that there is an actual problem of corruption or the appearance of corruption when seeking to maintain $1,075 limits on campaign contributions in Missouri. Today's majority, authored by Justice David Souter, found that Missouri had provided sufficient justification for the limits.
However, the Court largely left it to the states and Congress to decide whether the artificially low campaign contribution limits should be adjusted, while declining to involve itself in the details of whether and how such adjustments should be made.
At the same time, the Court acknowledged the serious First Amendment problems in setting contribution limits so low that they would "drive the sound of a candidate's voice below the level of notice," but concluded that that issue was not presented in today's case.
"We hope today's ruling will encourage Congress to come up with some common-sense solutions to what everyone agrees is a flawed campaign finance system," said Laura W. Murphy, Director of the ACLU's Washington National Office.
The ACLU, Murphy noted, continues to stress that public financing is far more likely to achieve meaningful campaign finance reform without the constitutional problems that have plagued the limits-driven approach embodied in McCain-Feingold and other prominent campaign finance proposals. "In a society where money is so unequally distributed," Murphy said, "full public financing provides a constitutional alternative to the American people."
In a series of public policy advertisements last year, the ACLU and Public Campaign joined forces to encourage state legislatures and Congress to consider full public financing systems.
The ACLU's brief in Shrink also reflected that thinking, according to Gora, saying that the organization believes the answer to the ongoing campaign finance dilemma does not lie in more limits, more loopholes and more public cynicism.
"The Supreme Court today missed an opportunity to reject its 20-year reliance on contribution limits and instead order the state legislatures and Congress to develop meaningful reform that, unlike many current proposals, would not run afoul of the First Amendment," Gora said.

One of the highest-selling rappers of all time, Eminem, born Marshall Bruce Mathers III in 1972, was raised in Detroit, Mich.
With the release of 1999's The Slim Shady LP, produced by Dr. Dre, Eminem rose to fame, although not without controversy. His lyrics were deemed homophobic, misogynistic and violent, and his personal life was rife with romantic turmoil and brushes with the law.
In 1999, Eminem married Kimberly Anne Scott, mother to his daughter Hailie Jade Scott. The couple divorced in 2001, remarried in 2006, and divorced again less than three months later.
Eminem made his Hollywood film debut with the semi-autobiographical 8 Mile. The rapper's latest album, Relapse, was released in May 2009 to mixed critical reviews.

Instrument Description
Wissner is one of those lesser known brand of pianos that built superb pianos, but marketing likely kept the company from ever achieving the world wide fame it deserved. Pianos by Wissner were built of the finest quality, best craftsmanship and design, and they sound AMAZING! Unfortunately, grand pianos by Wissner were very expensive when new, and they are quite rare today.
This piano is a classic example of the elegantly refined Louis XVI Style at it's finest. Classical lines, eye-popping wood grand and lovely carved double turned legs highlight the beautiful cabinet of this wonderful piano. Built in 1909, this piano is made of superb quality and craftsmanship. The wood is known as "Fancy Grand Crotch Mahogany". This wood is taken from the roots of the tree in order to achieve the amazing burl wood grand pattern - a very expensive and difficult process found only on the finest pianos. In addition to it's beautiful cabinet, the tone quality will rival any higher-end grand piano built today!
This piano can be equipped with computerized player mechanisms if desired. A matching piano bench is included.

Under 15s - Report
Date: Sunday 4th November 2012 - Kick Off: 15:00
Strathaven | 35 | vs | 15 | Kilmarnock |
Under 15s Match Report v Strathaven 04/11/12
Final Score Strathaven 34 2 Goals 4 Tries Tries: Mc Veigh(1) Russel(1) Heggie(3) Dixon (1) Cons:Kennedy (2)
Kilmarnock 15 3 Tries Tries: Spiers (1) Mc Lean (1) Cowan (1)
Killie travelled to Strathaven with 13 men for their 1st Match in this seasons league campaign.
Strathaven kicked off on a cold afternoon, with little wind and a good to soft field.
Following opening exchanges Strathaven broke on blind side of breakdown, following some good support play and interpassing Heggie their outstanding openside flanker scored the opening try of the match. Kennedy was unsuccesful with his kick at goal.
The match was open for the next 12 minutes with both sides trying to play the pass and support game. On 15 Minutes Killie lost full back Euan Strachan to a dead leg caused by a stray Strathaven boot. This was an unfortunate blow to the Killie attack, Strachans speed and elusiveness was sorely missed. Strathaven kindly loaned one of their subs to keep the sides even. On the 18 th minute a solo driving run by Heggie resulted in a Strathhaven score wide on the right. The conversion was missed.
Killie were beginning to come into the match with strong driving play. In 21 minutes after a driving maul into strathaven 22, the ball went out the line to Dylan Spiers on the wing, with 2 defenders to beat, he trusted his strength and pace to round defence and score near the posts, an excellent team try. Ruaridh Moss,s conversion attempt drifted wide.
THe Killie boys were on top at this point with an excellent performance from our stand in front row Euan Cochrane, captain Jack Gemmill and Matthew Cowan. In 24 minutes following broken play on the half way line scrum half Stewart Cuthbertson, who was a livewire all match, drew the cover defence to send Jack McLean on a strong 40 metre run to score wide left . The conversion proved out of Moss,s range. Killie were more than holding their own in scrum and lineout, with Lewis Young prominent in driving several mauls securing Killie put in. However on 30 minutes a powerful run by heavyweight Strathaven prop Muirhead, aided by some ineffectual Killie tackling resulted in centre Dixon taking the pop pass to crash over under the posts .Kennedy goaled.
Half time Strathaven 17 KRFC 10
Killie turned to play up the hill, however they were encouraged by the brave return of full back Strachan. Despite good interplay by backs and forwards Killie were twice robbed of possession in the tackle and following good play Strathaven flanker Heggie scored tries in the 35th and 38th minutes. The match see-sawed with play going end to end with once again the Killie pack showing well at scrum time. A mention to blair campbell for his efforts at No8 (as a one man back row )On the 50th minute good play by centres McVey and Chamberlain brought a strong run by Angus Kerr, from the resultant ruck Mathew Cowan picked up, drove through the ruck and raced 10 metres to score wide on the left. Again the conversion proved out of range for the stand off.Despite this excellent team score Killie spent the remainder of the match camped in their 22. fWith 2 minutes remaining following lineout possession Strathaven fed the ball out the line to be halted by the Killie defence in midfield, good interplay by Strathaven forwards resulted in hooker McVeigh driving over from 2 metres with 4 Killie tacklers hanging onto him. Despite the Killie boys best efforts he managed to securely ground the ball on the line. Despite Killies McLean protestations to Irish referee that ball was held up, Killie coach Wallace confirmed to referee grounding was secure. A lesson to all to use our lung capacity for running than talking! The conversion was missed.
Final Score Strathaven 34 KRFC 15

Golfing ParadiseBy Edward Norrey on 21-Aug-2011 | |
My mate Brian and I decided to try Owmby Golf Club today. Rapier Barracks was getting a little repetetive so we fancied a change. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of Owmby Golf Club! It was incredible! Absolutely perfect quality and well worth the £16 green fee. The course was quite challenging and the views from the tops of the hills were stunning. Playing well helped too! I didn't miss a single fairway. This really helped my score. My GIR percentage wasn't too clever but I was chipping the ball close to the flag. I one putted six times which is very good for my standards. I normally two putt every green. My driver was the king of my golf bag today. I drove the ball pin high on three of the par fours. Slightly off the green and leaving me with a good scoring opportunity. I am settling as a mid handicap golfer and I am loving every minute of it. I am wondering how long it will be until I make it into single figures. I will admit I have a lot of work to do and I must work on my iron shots, and think about the dynamics of the shot and the landing area. But like I said, I am enjoying my golf and that counts for a lot. | |

Animation really isn't my thing; I'm just going to say that right off. But, every now and again, I inadvertently come across a family-friendly animated flick that doesn't leave me with an overwhelming sensation to set things on fire. In fact, in the case of Rio, a computer-animated feature from the folks that brought us the Ice Age franchise, I actually found myself in a state of enjoyment throughout the duration of the 96-minute movie.
The story here, while not wholly remarkable in a "what a highly original concept" kind of way, concerns one of the last remaining blue macaws on the planet, Blu (voiced by Michael Cera's constant running mate, Jesse Eisenberg) who received his ridiculous name by his human familiar, a nerdy, bespectacled Minnesota gal named Linda (Leslie Mann). Approached one day (out of the blue — ha!) by a Brazilian ornithologist by the handle of Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro), who intends to mate Blu — an insecure and neurotic creature who hasn't quite mastered the ability to fly-- with one of the last remaining female macaws, Jewel (Anne Hathaway).
Departing from their snowcapped state for sunny Rio de Janerio, the average "bird out of water" story commences as the rare birds are kidnapped by smugglers. A playful, energetic music score that was produced by Brazil's own Sergio Mendes accompanies. Frankly, I think the whole film was formed just so they could force American kids to listen to samba music — which is a good thing, I think.
As I said before, this isn't an entirely inventive story. It's fun enough, however, to keep most of its viewers entertained thoroughly — even if the casting directors did give in and hire will.i.am and Jamie Foxx to voice a couple of feathered street urchins.
Flight of the Concords member Jemaine Clement voices a crazed cockatoo (and sings a witty song, as you might expect him to), and Tracy Morgan, Jane Lynch and Wanda Sykes are among the film's other vocal contributors. In keeping up with some unwritten law in the world of animated talking animal films, George Lopez voices a toucan with a large family.

RegionRoyalty (or whoever you are) - You said it yourself, "you are a fan". I suggest you jump into the coaching ranks. Go take over your own program and then you can have your boys compete wherever you would like to take them based on your philosophies. Who ever said Fargo was the best bang for a kid's buck? Or that Fargo is what every kid in a program is ready for? Certainly you are entitled to your own "fan" opinion, but again, you said it yourself... maybe some of the "top teams" in Indiana have discovered that the AAU Scholastic Duals club event is what is best for their program.
Coach,Do you consider your team to be one of the top teams in the state?! If so, I ask you why you entered your team in the "JV Division"?
Send our best kids to Junior Duals, so Indiana gets more recognition as a state from college coaches, thereby more Indiana kids get to wrestle in college, thereby more former college wrestlers come back to coach in Indiana, raising the overall level of wrestling in the state. In states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, there are former D-1 wrestlers coaching middle school programs.. Here in Indiana we are lucky if our varsity coach was a semi-state qualifier..
It is quite disheartening as an Indiana wrestling fan that teams like Perry Meridian, Penn, and Yorktown choose to attend Disney Duals in lieu of encouraging their kids to go to Cadet and Junior Duals in preparation for Fargo. Here we have 3 of the better teams in our state choosing to wrestle in some vacation-style folkstyle tournament with so many divisions and classifications that nearly their whole team posted perfect records against watered down competition. At the same time, our joke of a Junior Duals team, which can't even fill out the full roster goes and gets pummeled for a week straight as the rest of the states like Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, etc. send their best kids to compete with the nation's best. Our priorities as a state are out of line, and until our top programs choose to change the culture and the ISWA chooses to encourage our best kids to compete at Junior Duals, like Illinois does, we will continue to be a laughing stock at such prestigious tournaments such as Junior Duals.
In states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, there are former D-1 wrestlers coaching middle school programs.. Here in Indiana we are lucky if our varsity coach was a semi-state qualifier..

"Out of the Body" is an exciting new collaboration between students studying Interactive Media and Music students studying Composition in The Wits School of Arts. Under the direction of Composition Lecturer, Jonathan Crossley, the music students have used their bodies as sources of sound samples – recording physical processes, even swallowing miniature microphones – which they have then worked into electronic compositions. At the same time, the Interactive Media students, working with Lecturer Tegan Bristow, have designed interfaces which allow the compositions to be performed in unexpected and innovative ways. The works will be publically performed on Sunday 7 November at 21:00 in the Wits Amphitheatre. On Monday 26 October, the two groups of students got together to test drive their collaborations. Two of the seven collaborative projects were captured on camera by Christo Doherty
Music student, Zarchia Zacheus, uses the contortions of her mouth to shape the performance of her electronic composition, using a camera-based motion detection system designed by Interactive Media postgrad Michael de Jager.
Composer Nicolas Williams test drives the "Drawdio": a pencil-based music controller, built by Michael de Jager.

Happy days indeed!!
I will start it because as of Tuesday morning I am on Holiday!!! Or I had better say Vacation seeing as I am going to Florida!!!
Happy days indeed!!
me and the wife have just come back from 2 weeks in Jamaica, first time there, we had 1 week at the Couples Tower Isle and a week in the Couples San Souci, we went and visited Nine File where Bob Marley is buried and we cycled down the Blue Mountains. would wholeheartedly say it was the best holiday we've both had, the country and people were so welcoming and friendly. Shame about the 10 hour flight though, but would love to go back there again one day.
We're just back from our first holiday, weekend in Liverpool to watch the match , and this morning we done the Anfield and museum tour.
Next will probably be to our apartment in Los Pacos, Spain.
We used to have a condo in Florida, where are you going to?
We are staying in Kissimmee, yes I know all about the crime rate. But **** it.
Mickey mouse can't be that hard.
Looks like France and Morrocco in May!
Can't ******* wait!!
Poland and Ukraine in June!
Me, the mrs and the kids are off to Cala d'or for a week in June with some friends and their kids.
Should be a larf.
Will also be having a golfing weekend in Spain somewhere in July. Boys on tour.... marvellous.
Got a few short breaks this year, London in Easter, Manchester (To see coldplay) in June but main one is Paris (Also in June).
Never been to France before so cant wait!
Off to Washington DC to see a mate who moved over there for work. Will be there for independence day too which should be pretty special.
Also going to Berlin for a stag do the same month as well.
Off back to Turkey three weeks today
Can. Not. Wait!
Naff all, I fear!
Was meant to be away last week, but was too busy with work to go anywhere. Might try and get a cheap week on a small Greek island in September, but that's going to depend on a lot of things...
Going to the Olympics in August for a few days, and probably camping in the Lakes again at some point
A small village called Ovacik, about 20mins walk from Hisaronu and between Fethiye and Oludinez on the Dolmus route.
Indeed! This will be my third time back to the same place, I just hope it's going to be warm enough at the end of April....
Leave the poor fish alone!!
I've never been in April before, the 'season' is supposed to start in May but there's no way with everything going on that we could have made it over in May or June, so hopefully the last two weeks of April will just about be warm enough.... I generally stick by the pool rather than go in the sea so am not fussed if that's cold!
So come on then, all you people that have been to Florida before, Tips, advice???
I can barely afford beans let alone a holiday.
Go and see a space shuttle launch!
Ah no, they're being dismembered for storage
Go to Kennedy Space Centre anyway: the visitor tour is worth a look, especially if you go and see the Saturn V.
Universal Studios theme park was awesome - and there was a guy from Rhyl on the gate, which was odd to say the least.
If you're driving long distances, Naples is lovely; and the Keys are great, would have liked to stay a couple of nights in Key West.
The roads are *very*, *very* dull though. After a while you get bored of looking for alligators in the ditches, which is about the only thing of interest.
Oh yeah. Don't bother with Miami.
It's a dump - apart from the spectacle of the mostly naked black dude on roller blades wearing a boa constrictor, which takes some believing.
Erm, not far if memory serves. Was a few years ago I did drive from Orlando to Daytona Beach tho so it can't be too far, it's on the east coast about half way up the state but will double check for you.
Seconded. Not that I've seen the guy you're on about!! But I was really looking forward to the couple of days we spent in Miami, but apart from Coconut Grove (which had decent nightlife) it really was disappointing.
Also agree on the roads - seriously dull.
About an hour's drive north on I4 I reckon

About Martin Hill
A passion for photography
Martin was born in north Devon in 1968, and spent the early part of his working life serving with the Royal Marines. On leaving the services in 2001 he put his supervisory and organisational skills to good use by joining the NHS as a manager. However, at the same time he began to develop his passion for photography, finally taking the ultimate step of converting a much-loved hobby into a career after undergoing extensive professional training. Martin is particularly interested in creating stunning photographs of people, taking the trouble to put his "clients" at their ease to achieve the most relaxed and spontaneous images for maximum vitality and realism. It is often said that the way he makes you feel comfortable and relaxed is as if being photographed by an old friend. It may especially be this skill which has helped Martin create some outstanding wedding photography and private portraiture, winning multiple industry awards along the way. | Away from his passion for photography, Martin enjoys spending time with his family. When not in their company, he does admit to spending perhaps a little too much time watching his beloved Somerset playing cricket, an activity which may now have been somewhat curtailed by the recent arrival of baby Oliver…

That was the picture Deputy District Attorney William Lee presented to the jury Wednesday during the first day of trial for Antonio Eubanks and John Dozier who are accused of killing and robbing Matthew Cook and stuffing his body in a trash can last year.
Lee opened the trial with a picture of a landfill in Colton.
"That is where our trash gets sent to...that is also where Matthew Cook's body is," Lee told jurors inside the San Bernardino Superior courtroom. "As far as we know, it remains there because we never found the body."
Police shut down the area for three days looking for the body to no avail.
"He has not been seen or heard from since July 10, 2011," Lee said.
Cook was 29 years old, with the mentality of a teenager. He attended special-ed classes but lived on his own with help from his family, who monitored his bank account and put him on their cell phone plan.
In 2011, Cook and Eubanks met on the job and became friends. Eubanks eventually moved in with Cook and started taking advantage of him, Lee said.
There was no sign Eubanks paid rent, the prosecutor said. Eubanks used Cook's cell phone and started stealing from him.
"There were two checks signed by Matthew Cook, but not in his signature," Lee said. "They were both made out to and endorsed by Antonio
When Cook's parents found out about the situation and convinced him to file a police report, Eubanks left and started living with Dozier and his wife Crystal Carmelo in San Bernardino.
Eubanks, Dozier and Carmelo wanted to go back to Illinois - where the men were from - and devised a plan. Lee said, on July 10, 2011, Cook was lured to the men's apartment in the 800 block of Orange Street where he was beaten and suffocated with a pillow.
His body was bound with wire and wound up in tarp before it was placed in a roll-away trash can and kept in a garage.
Lee said the defendants drove Cook's grey Saturn Ion back to his apartment and spent the night there. The next day, the defendants took Cook's TV and Playstation and pawned the items, using the money to drive back to Decatur, Ill.
When they got to Illinois, they called a neighbor and asked them to put the trash can out on the curb, Lee said. But the neighbors apparently forgot to do so.
The trash can was eventually rolled out to the curb on Aug. 15 and the contents were picked up and taken to the landfill.
After not hearing from him, Cook's family filed a missing person's report with the sheriff's station in Rancho Cucamonga on July 17.
Decatur police officers found Cook's car in Illinois and arrested the suspects.
Defense attorney David Call, who represents Eubanks, asked that jurors not go to sleep or jump to conclusions during the course of this trial.
"This is a strange case for multiple reasons," Call said during his opening statements.
Defense attorney Rasheed Alexander, who represents Dozier, said his client did not participate in Matthew Cook's disappearance and death.
"Mr. Eubanks did not lure Mr. Cook to his apartment to take his life and Mr. Dozier did not have anything to do with Mr. Cook's death," Alexander said.
"Everything (Mr. Dozier) did was unrelated to the death or disappearance of Matthew Cook."
Dozier, of San Bernardino, and Eubanks, of Rancho Cucamonga, have both been charged with murder and robbery. Eubanks, Dozier's half-brother, faces two counts of forgery as well.
Dozier's wife, Crystal Carmelo, was believed to have been an accomplice in the crimes and was charged with murder and robbery. She accepted a plea bargain in August and agreed to testify during the trial. Carmelo, who was originally facing life in prison, will instead be charged with voluntary manslaughter. She will be sentenced when the trial is over.
Testimony will continue today, and attorneys expect the trial to last until next week.

Chicago, IL, USA; Chicago White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko rubs his head after being elbowed by Kansas City Royals center fielder Jarrod Dyson (not pictured) at U.S. Cellular Field. Credit: David Banks-US PRESSWIRE
The White Sox first baseman was hit in the head accidentally by a flying elbow Tuesday night, and now has a mild concussion.
White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko did not play in Wednesday night's 2-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals. It's not unusual for players to get rest from time to time, but there was a different reason for Konerko's sitting out, an injury suffered in a weird way. Bruce Levine:
Konerko suffered the injury when he was hit in the side of the head by the elbow of Royals outfielder Jarrod Dyson in the seventh inning on Tuesday.
"Paulie has what is described as a mild concussion, so he was out tonight and he will rest tomorrow (the White Sox are off) and get re-evaluated on Friday," said manager Robin Ventura after the Royals' 2-1 victory on Wednesday.
Major League Baseball now has a seven-day disabled list for players who have the aftereffects of concussions, so they can rest for a while without being DL'ed for the full 15 days of the regular disabled list.
Konerko is having a fine season, hitting .316/.388/.504 with 18 home runs in 101 games and making his sixth All-Star team.

TAIPEI -- 3CEMS ran counter of most EMS companies in 2012 as the contract electronics assembler's revenues jumped 20% year-over-year. Sales rose to $600 million for the calendar year, the company told CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY today. During the year, 3CEMS added a design services operation and announced it would expand its plant in Dongguan. 3CEMS, which is the EMS arm of First International Computer, ranked 26th last year on the CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY Top 50. 相反,大多数EMS公司在2012年三希科技跑,眼看着收入,比去年同期增长20%。

Simply make appliques of Wubbzy and his kickety ball with colored felt pieces and our templates, then glue them to a fleece scarf (store-bought or home-made).
Wow wow! Watch Wubbzy every day on Nick Jr.
Start with a store-bought fleece scarf or make your own by cutting a 48- to 54-inch piece of fleece about 6 inches wide. For a thicker scarf, iron in fusible interfacing (such as Wonder Under) between two pieces of fleece or stitch them together on a sewing machine.
Print the scarf template, cut out the shapes, and set them aside.
Following the diagrams on the scarf template, trace the shapes onto felt swatches of designated colors.
Glue the Wubbzy shape onto one end of the scarf and draw Wubbzy's facial details with black fabric paint. Glue the big, dark blue ball onto the other end of the scarf and glue light blue felt dots onto the big kickety-kick ball. Let the glue dry for about two hours.
You can use embroidery floss or pearl cotton to add trim; simply stitch two rows of thread along the bottom of the scarf using a long running stitch.
You can create a colorful border for the scarf by cutting out two 6- by 2-inch pieces of felt, folding them in half lengthwise, and ironing them. Then slip one end of the scarf into one of the folded rectangles and glue it in place. Do the same at the opposite end of the scarf.
Press the scarf lightly with an iron on the low setting. For best results, wait a couple of days before ironing the scarf.

The Minnesota wrestling team heads to Omaha, Neb. this Saturday to take part in the 27th annual Ryan Kaufman-Glen Brand Open. The Open, hosted by the University of Nebraska-Omaha, features more than 600 wrestlers from more than 35 teams across the country.
After winning seven titles and sending 14 wrestlers to championship matches at the Bison Open last weekend, the Gophers look to continue to attack in matches early and often.
Head coach J Robinson hopes the team can continue utilizing an aggressive and attacking form the team established in the first tournament last weekend.
"The mindset you want them to have is the same. It doesn't make a difference whether they're at the Bison Open or at Omaha," Robinson said. "What we want is to use the Bison, that they had a good mindset about being aggressive, dominating and getting after it. We want them to do the same thing here."
Though the competition is a significant upgrade, the team still eyes championships in several weight classes.
Minnesota returns two champions from last year's Open: redshirt sophomore Zach Sanders from the 125-pound division and redshirt junior Mike Thorn from the 141 division . While Sanders will not compete in the Kaufman-Brand Open, Thorn looks to repeat as champion.
The Gophers also return three second place finishers in senior Dustin Schlatter (157), redshirt junior Ben Berhow (heavyweight) and redshirt junior Scott Glasser (165).
Schlatter has since moved up two weight classes to 165 pounds while Glasser has moved up one class to 174 pounds.
"We expect a lot out of this weekend," senior Jayson Ness said. "Pretty much, one thing we're looking for is guys giving a lot of effort."
The team is poised to continue their mental edge over opponents.
"The biggest thing is just mental toughness. It's really hard mentally to get after a guy the whole seven minutes to keep on him and to keep attacking," Ness said. "We want to make sure our guys are going out there giving their full effort, just hoping to build that mental toughness."
Regardless of the talent level, Robinson demands intensity and focus.
"You wrestle everybody the same. You get out there and when the whistle blows you take more shots than he does," Robinson said. "You push him off the edge of the mat and you control the pace of the match, all those things."
While the rest of the Gopher team travels to Omaha, All-American sophomore Zach Sanders will compete in the NCWA All-Star Classic at California State-Fullerton. Sanders, who was supposed to face redshirt All-American Anthony Robles in the 125 class, will wait to see who he will face at the event after Robles chose to wrestle with the rest of his team in dual meets at Oklahoma State and Oklahoma this weekend.
"I've been thinking about wrestling in it since I was a little kid watching it on TV," Sanders said. "It should be pretty interesting, a pretty fun time. There's not too much pressure because it's like an exhibition, but just go out and wrestle and see what I need to get better at the next time I wrestle."

I know that I can not be the only one who does this. I had ordered some plants and the rose bush arrived this month as planned. My next shipment of 2 dwarf lilacs is due in Feb. Knock on the front door the other day and it was the mailman with a bag for me. He said it was plants and he didn't want to leave it outside. I was mystified. I wasn't expecting anything. I must have ordered more plants via a national newspaper because what arrived the other day were my 'free' plants, 5 Alstroemeria (Peruvian Lilies) rhizomes. I do not remembering ordering them and the other 4 items; Lily Oriental Stargazer, Laurentia Blue Stars, Aster Starlight, and Pinks. *shaking head* Now I have to buy more pots and compost to get ready for them. On Monday I will put in an order for Red Baron Onions, Lemon Balm seeds and a cranberry bush. You're my witnesses. lol So am I the only one who has senior moments like this? *whispers* agree with me even if you don't.

chew on this
Posted by Dale Buss on April 19, 2013 10:32 AM
Chick-fil-A has a handle on great fast food, good service, enthusiasm about the brand and a winsome advertising campaign. But the chain has spent a good deal of the last couple of years defending the traditional-values advocacy of CEO Dan Cathy, scion of the founder of Chick-fil-A; parrying accusations by the gay-rights community and attempting to come to some accommodation with them.
Now, back to what the brand really wants to be known for: its food and service. As part of a new "transparency push," Advertising Age says Chick-fil-A will offer instant "behind-the-counter" tours to anyone who wants them. And it plans to overhaul its salads and line of chicken wraps to position them as even healthier menu options than before.
The tours are to be offered at Chick-fil-A's 1,700 locations, the magazine said, on an instant basis. That could pose some operational challenges. "It's a nice warm fuzzy, but the challenge is, how are they going to do this if they're in the middle of a hugely busy lunch or dinner hour?" Joel Cohen, a restaurant-marketing consultant, told the magazine.Continue reading...

Even green beans can be strategic in the continuing struggle by QSR brands to come up with better-for-you options that are appealing to kids and yet acceptable to nutrition scolds.
KFC made green beans the default option in its new Li'l Bucket kids meal, which is joined in the $3.99 package by a Kentucky Grilled Chicken drumstick, an applesauce pouch from GoGo squeeZ and a Capri Sun Roarin' Water. The new repast aimed at kids also appeals to parents with robust infotainment options such as puzzle games that are attached to the bottom of the bucket lid.
"Green beans are one of the more popular green vegetables with kids," Cynthia Koplos, KFC's senior director of marketing, told brandchannel. "They're already available at almost all of our restaurants." Parents also can choose mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese as side items in the Li'l Bucket, in place of green beans.Continue reading...

A sarcastic joke about diarrhea might be one of the first things one would think upon seeing the Twitter hashtag #thankschipotle. But no, #thankschipotle was a reaction to the food chain's decision to drop sponsorship of a Utah Boy Scout event due to the organizations stand against gay equality. It seems Chipotle's newest offering is a jumbo sized social conscience, a menu item many are finding deliciously timely. The move also has some lessons for other brands as remaining neutral on gay rights increasingly becomes a non option.It's true that Chipotle did not exactly come up with this cancelation on its own but instead was more or less shamed into action by progressive activists at Think Progress. On March 19, Think Progress called out Chipotle for violating its own nondiscrimination policy. A day later, Chipotle's desire to stomach a potential backlash led by activists diminished significantly. It announced that it would terminate its sponsorship. It emailed Think Progress, saying, in part, that the brand "believed that terminating the sponsorship and remaining consistent with our policy was the right thing to do."Continue reading...

It's like staying up too late, watching Jerry Springer or not being nice to your mother: Many Americans don't exactly feel good about visiting McDonald's after they've done so, but they're more than likely to do it again.
That's one interesting conclusion from the latest survey by Consumer Edge Insight of Americans' ratings of the biggest fast-food brands and the various attributes of their visits to the QSR chains.
McDonald's placed No. 1 in the firm's latest poll in the category of "good value," with 57 percent. Subway earned 53 percent, and Taco Bell posted 48 percent.

Also known as PRNG.
Specialization (... is a kind of me.)
linear congruential generator.
See also randomized algorithm.
Note: Any computer program is likely to generate pseudo-random numbers, not actually random numbers. This is important when, say, simulations are sensitive to subtle patterns in the "random" numbers used. Hardware-based random number generators are built from parts with naturally random events, such as noise in a diode.
A generator may be "seeded", or initialized, with a random event, such as the current time in milliseconds, to give different sequences every time it is used.
Do NOT use typical "random" number generators for security or cryptographic purposes. Random Numbers from David Wheeler's Secure Programming for Linux and Unix HOWTO, Section 11.3, gives suggestions and guidelines.

Shalom Aleikhem,Hmmm... I see both the replies are tricky and non-replies. mmKhan
Salaam bro, What's next??? Are you know also going to wear a burka and claim you have no gender
1. I never claimed that. I only argued in "sunniforum" regarding the fact that male and female are not the only options. 2. The gender nondisclosure is not there for any claim of non-gender but to make it possible to rise above all the gender issues that may get in the way of human perception.Peace------------ Student of Allah
Salaam,I am sure you know that I was only joking but I am curious to learn what the 3rd option is besides male and female
Shalom Aleikhem,I wasnt joking, I am mad at you, let me call my local mullah party for back up. Be careful cause they are coming for you.
Well, the 3rd is for the ones that are not have either the complete/incomplete male only or complete/incomplete female only hardware. I hope that is enough for you to understand.Peace--------- Student of Allah

2011 Practice Update
Home > News & Events > Publications > Practice Update > 2011 Practice Update > How Pediatric Outcomes Research Can Impact Patient Care
The Children's Outcomes Research (COR) Program is partially funded by the Research Institute at Children's Hospital Colorado. Its mission is to improve child health, both locally and nationally, by conducting state-of-the-art pediatric outcomes research that can be translated into clinical practice and child health policy. The COR Program, with Allison Kempe, MD, as Director, has extensive experience investigating pediatric health outcomes using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies.
In 2008, COR researchers were asked to help several of the musculoskeletal surgeons and the coordinating spine nurse to evaluate their Care Pathway for Spinal Surgery (CAPSS) Care program. This clinical program is designed to manage children with scoliosis caused by neuromuscular or central nervous system disorders who are undergoing spinal fusion surgery. These high-risk patients are challenging surgical cases due to comorbidities and higher perioperative complication rates than idiopathic scoliosis patients. The CAPSS Care program includes the coordination of multiple subspecialty evaluations (pulmonologists, cardiologists, gastroenterology, neurology, nutrition, respiratory therapy, physical therapy) and both preoperative and discharge planning with the spinal nurse coordinator and social work staff.
We conducted a program evaluation from the perspective of both the clinical and surgical team and family caregivers to better understand what parts of the program were effective, what parts needed improvement and what the impact of the surgery and the Care Pathway were on families and children undergoing the procedure. This evaluation was called Caregivers' and Relatives' Expectations for Spinal Surgery (CARES) Study. As part of our evaluation we completed 30 structured in-depth interviews with 14 program clinical and surgical team members (pediatric orthopedic surgeons, spine nurses, physical and respiratory therapists and the program social worker, dietician and scheduler) and 16 family caregivers of children with neuromuscular-caused scoliosis who had program evaluations and spinal fusion surgeries in 2006.
Our results showed that from the perspective of both clinical and surgical providers and family caregivers, the program was effective in improving pre-operative surgical evaluation, informing families regarding the surgical experience and aiding in hospital discharge for challenging cases. Although outcomes related to program effectiveness in the hospital were very positive, our data also clearly demonstrated the profound emotional impact of spinal fusion surgery on patients and family caregivers. The strong emotional impact on the child and family was related to pre-operative testing, the surgery itself and demands upon the family caregiver of post-operative home-based care giving. Our research suggested that the program providers underestimated the extent of emotional trauma experienced by patients and families with this surgery and recovery process. Additional issues identified for many families once discharged to home included the need for more social support services, visiting home nurses and equipment.
Our results were presented to the CAPSS providers and to key nursing and social work staff. As a result of the CARES study, the CAPSS Program team has instituted changes to improve patient care in areas identified as deficient by the CARES data. These have included all of the following:
