2013 Fencing Round-Robins Set for This Weekend
PRINCETON, N.J. -- The championship season for the Ivy League's fencing squads begins in earnest this weekend as the teams head to Cambridge, Mass., for the 2013 Ivy League Round-Robins, which will be contested at Harvard's Gordon Track on Saturday and Sunday, March 2 and 3.
Action begins at 11 a.m. on Saturday, when four rounds of matches will take place. Fencing on Sunday then begins with round five at 10 a.m., followed by rounds six and seven and the annual awards ceremony, which is slated for 3:45 p.m.
There are plenty of great fencing story lines to look forward to. Princeton looks to defend its sweep of the men's and women's titles from last year. No team has won back-to-back men's titles since Harvard did it in 2006 and 2007, which ended a run of five-straight titles for Columbia. On the women's side, Princeton is going for its fourth-straight title -- a feat accomplished only once before in Ivy history when Penn won six straight between 1983 and 1988.
The Tigers enter the championship as the third-ranked men's team and the second-ranked women's team in the collegefencing360.com polls (as of February 6). Columbia's women, who finished second at the Ivy Round-Robins last year, is ranked third in the poll. The Lions have been strong all season, including wins over top-ranked Notre Dame and No. 4 Ohio State at the NYU Duals on Jan. 27.
On the men's side, close behind Princeton in the poll are Columbia, Harvard and Penn at Nos. 6-8 and Brown and Yale are two of the top teams in the "also receiving votes" category, which could make for the men's championship being one of the closest contested in quite a while. On the women's side apart from Princeton at No. 2 and Columbia at No. 3, Harvard is eighth, Penn is at No. 10 and Cornell and Brown are near the top among votegetters outside of the Top 10.
In all, 14 All-Ivy honorees from a year ago return on the men's side -- seven first-team selections and seven second-team selections. That statement alone should make for a highly-competitive weekend. But then, on the women's side, 18 of the 20 All-Ivy honorees return from last year -- nine first-team selections and nine second-team selections. A field of 32 returning all-League selections from 2012 ought to make the 2013 Round-Robins one of the best ever.
Princeton's Jonathan Yergler, the national champion in epee leads the Tigers. He finished second in epee at the Round-Robins last year (11-3) to teammate Edward Kelly, who was the top in men's epee last year at 12-2. He also returns for the Tigers.
Columbia's William Spear and Alen Hadzic return. Spear, the Most Outstanding Performer and Most Outstanding Rookie last year, was the top in men's sabre at the Round-Robins a year ago with a 13-2 mark. He also finished fifth at the NCAA Championship, narrowly missing out on a semifinal slot.
Rebounding from a disappointing showing at the Round-Robins last year, Hadzic was second at the NCAA Championship in epee, losing to Yergler in the gold medal match, 15-8.
Harvard's Brian Kaneshige returns after a successful 2012 campaign. He tied for second in foil last year with an 11-4 mark at Round-Robins.
Individually on the women's side, Penn returns foil national runner-up Lona Wang. Wang finished fourth in the foil preliminaries last year at the NCAA meet and then upset top-seeded Mona Shaito in the semifinal round. Wang was second in foil at the Round-Robins.
Princeton returns several key fencers from last year. Ambika Singh swept Most Outstanding Performer and Most Outstanding Rookie honors at the Round-Robins. She won foil last year with an impressive 17-1 mark. Katharine Holmes won epee at Round-Robins and finished third at the national championship last year. In addition, Eliza Stone has won at least a share of the sabre title two years in a row at Round-Robins, sharing the title in 2011 and winning it last year with a 16-2 mark.
Harvard returns the foil duo of Alexandra Kiefer and Kathy Chou. Kiefer was the national champion in 2011 and finished tied for third at Round-Robins and 11th at the national meeet last year. Chou tied with Kiefer for third place at Round-Robins last year.
Nzingha Prescod, the 2011 Round-Robins champion in foil, returns for Columbia. She went 14-1 in the Lions' impressive showing at the NYU Duals. Loweye Diedro (11-1) and Jackie Dubrovich (11-1) were also impressive at NYU.
As with last year's event, the head coaches will again select the Most Outstanding Performer and Most Outstanding Rookie at the conclusion of the event, while the top-three finishers in each weapon (based on winning percentage and appearing in at least 75 percent of a team's matches) will garner first team All-Ivy accolades and the next three will be second team All-Ivy selections.

Music Tech
30 04 2009A great post and activity from the music tech teacher here at my school. He just finished a project with the University of Vermont Music Department and his grade 7 Music Tech class. They used the web to join classrooms in real time to share ideas and concepts. The students in Vermont were responsible for putting together a lesson for the grade 7 students on writing and composing melodies. Full story here.

The Best Ways to Discover Music Through Twitter
The main reason you should use Twitter to find music anyway is that once you find a like-minded fan on the network, you can follow their feed. If you keep doing this, your Twitter account will develop as a passive music discovery engine. Eventually you won't need to do much — music will be delivered to you on the proverbial silver platter, courtesy of the thousands (or millions) of people who regularly post music to the network. Full story here.

2. | Blader | ||
A blader is a person who roller blades very well. A blader is also a person who believes that rollerblading is not a sport, its a passion and a way of life. me and my friends are such bladers
1. | Blader | ||
A man who goes rollerskating a lot. He does that rollerskating very good because he is probably rollerskating for a long time. Like skaters, the bladers also do tricks and grind. Mark is a great blader so we can expect to see a PC game called Mark's ProBlader in a year or two. :)
3. | blader | ||
Someone who rides inline skates.
Comes from the name of the well known company Rollerblade. Usually meaning someone into "agressive skating", which means people doing tricks on skates (slides, jumps, in places like streets, ramps or skateparks). It's the equivalent of skater (skateboarder), but on roller-skates. Like for skaters, there should not be any link between this word and a specific music, clothing style, skill level, or whatever : It just describes someone who likes to have fun on inline skates. "I met a new blader in town, he told me he would ride the park this afternoon, wanna come?"

- In This Feature
- 1. Does having an orgasm help you to get pregnant?
- 2. Should I try to stop the sperm from leaking out after sex? For how long?
- 3. Are there any sexual practices we should avoid while trying to conceive? For example, is saliva harmful? Sex toys? Flavored lubricants?
- 4. Is there a sex position that's best for conceiving?
- 5. I think my husband masturbates sometimes. Should he stop while we're trying to conceive?
- 6. Do we have to have sex every day while I'm trying to get pregnant?
- 7. Is there a body type that's best for conceiving? I'm flat-chested and thin-hipped ... are women with more curves more fertile?
- 8. Is it OK to diet while trying to get pregnant? Is it safe to cut out carbs?
- 9. My period isn't late yet, but I really feel like I'm pregnant. Am I crazy? How early can I do a home pregnancy test?
- 10. If I get my period regularly does that mean I'm ovulating and fertile?
- 11. My periods are usually very regular, but the last one was late. Could that mean I was pregnant and miscarried?
5. I think my husband masturbates sometimes. Should he stop while we're trying to conceive?
Frequent masturbation can reduce your partner's sperm count temporarily, but occasional masturbation is not a concern. Men have a 24/7 sperm factory at work; two days of ejaculation in a row have no effect on sperm, but more than that could decrease sperm count. If you're concerned, suggest that he abstain during your fertile period when you will be having regular sex. But the rest of the month is not a problem, in fact, "Abstaining from ejaculation for too long is also detrimental to male fertility," says Dr. Bohrer.

I thought the movie The Bourne Legacy was fantastic. They had a great idea with making it follow the last three and keeping Bourne alive. Jeremy Renner was excellent and did a great job. I would love to see him and Matt Damon work together in the next film I think that would be off the hook.

Infant Sleep Poll
When did your baby start sleeping through the night?
This is a controversial topic and different parents have different ideas of what 'through the night' means. Some parents are happy if their baby sleeps 5 or 6 hours, but in general, through the night means a good 8-10 or 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

Theobromine for Tooth Decay Prevention
By: Katie Anderson (Schaefer), Cosmetics & Toiletr…
While it may help to protect teeth from decay, fluoride at high levels also has been reported to irritate the gastrointestinal tract and some manufacturers have formulated products without it. However, toothpastes without fluoride are not providing any real benefit beyond cleansing, says Arman Sadeghpour, PhD, who, by chance, stumbled across another raw material that exhibits better anti-cavity efficacy than fluoride without adverse health effects.

If you want to use the lenses you currently have (D50 is DX format) then the D7000 is the way to go as it is also a DX format camera. If you are going to buy a new lens or lenses then you could go either way. The FX lenses for a D700 are going to be more expensive then the DX lenses, but there are advantages to FX sensors and lenses. Do more research, but either camera is an amazing choice and will do what you want WAAAAAAAAAY better then the D50!
There are some great video's on youtube explaining the differences between Full Frame (FX) and Crop Sensors (DX)

Ingredients for 4 people: 300g of ground almond 500g of sugar 200g of sweet potato 2 eggs 200g of pine nuts 1.25dl of water 1 spoonful of grated lemon rind
Cook the sweet potatoes in water, dry and make a purée. Make a syrup with the water and sugar until a drop of it forms a hard ball when put into cold water. Gradually pour it over the almonds and add the egg yolks and the sweet potato purée. Mix well until it becomes a fine dough. With the mixture, make small balls of 3 or 4 centimetres in diameter, flattening them a little at the base. Roll the balls in the beaten egg white and in the pine nuts. Arrange on a lightly greased baking tray and cook the panallets for between 15 and 20 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

2012 Chevrolet SonicBase MSRP $13,865
The subcompact segment seems to get larger by the year, and the 2012 Sonic faces stiff competition from established players like the Ford Fiesta and Honda Fit. With its nimble chassis and turbocharged 1.4L engine--the only turbo in its class--the Sonic offers a spirited driving experience its rivals can't match. Sedan or hatchback body styles also give it the edge, and with a low entry price and plenty of convenience options just a click away, the Sonic stands out as a real bargain for shoppers on a budget.

An MLK Day with Meaning
Patch has some great ideas for teaching your kids about diversity and acceptance this Martin Luther King Day, Jan. 21.
Your child might think of Monday, Jan. 21 as just another day off from school. But you can use Martin Luther King Jr., Day as an opportunity to teach them about the civil rights movement, the importance of racial equality, Martin Luther King Jr., and his legacy. Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr., Day by talking to your children about King. What do they know about the man, and about the civil rights movement? What do they know about King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech? What do they believe was his intended message? Ask your children to tell you what they've learned about King, and then help fill in the gaps. (Many children think Dr. King was a phyician!) For example, do they know that he was the youngest man to receive the Nobel Peace …

Indian Elegance at the Chanel for Bombay-Paris "Metiers d'art" show
Serving up steaming masala chai, samosas, french macarons and sophisticated Parisian with Indian staples? We are sold! This is amazing! Loving those skinny pants inspired by traditional indian churidara pants. Those Shalwar Kameez inspired coats are pretty clever too. I like that the show fused Paris's obsession with the color black and India's love for color. The combination came out amazing!
All the models — including an unusually large contingent of girls of South Asian descent — were swathed in what literally appeared to be their weight in jewels — via
"It sounds terrible to say this, but India is the one country where even the poor have something very chic about them," Lagerfeld told reporters after the show. "Even if she has nothing, the poorest women will have two three bangles, an elegant pink sari. It's very courageous, really."

From Jeremy Camp's Twitter: Hello my friends, please read my blog. We have some sad news. We'd appreciate your prayers. Love you all about 13 hours ago from Tweetie
From Jeremy Camp's Blog:
August 21, 2009
Joy in God's presence Hi Everyone We have sad news to share with you. As some of you may know from my twitter it was our baby check up yesterday. I went in and they could not find the baby's heart beat. This is could be normal at my stage, but they sent me to have an ultrasound, from which we learned that our precious little one's heart had stopped a week earlier and has gone to be with Jesus. It was a hard day for us yesterday, but Praise the Lord Jeremy was home and he has been such a rock for me. God has overwhelmed us with His love and peace. We know He is faithful and don't doubt for a minute that He is in control. We are so thankful for the hope we have in Christ. We had an amazing time reading scripture together this morning and just sharing what God has done and all that He is doing in our lives. We know we are very blessed to have our two sweet little girls. Please pray that our eyes will continue to stay on Him. Also for my body to heal quickly. For those of you who have "Streams in the Desert" devotional, read today's. It's such a great encouragement about the Lord bringing us to Himself. God is SO faithful, SO loving and SO good! From Ps 16: "Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. O my soul, you have said to the LORD, "You are my Lord, My goodness is nothing apart from You." O LORD, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; Yes, I have a good inheritance. I will bless the LORD who has given me counsel; My heart also instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; My flesh also will rest in hope. For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore." All our love in Jesus, Jeremy and Adrienne
Hi Everyone
Personally, I (Coppelia) heard from two friends this week who both miscarried their babies. For one of them, it was her third miscarriage in a row. When we go through pain, grief and loss, knowing that God is holding us close and will get us through it makes a difference. You are not alone. Let us know if we can pray for you. www.air1.com.

I'm interested in event coverage (ENG type) and I'm thinking of buying a shoulder-mounted camera, and use my HV for B-roll. There are 3 that I could possibly afford and hope to get your input before I buy:
1) Sony HVR-HD1000U MiniDV 1080i
Pros: I'm already comfortable with tape, and it's the least expensive of the 3.
Cons: Tape is pretty much replaced by cards now.
2) Sony HXR-MC2000U
Pros: This is very similar to the HD1000U, but uses SD cards. Maybe it's time to move on from tape. I have a quad core running w7, so I think I should be able to edit the footage. This one is only a little more than the HD1000U.
Cons: For (a lot) more money, I could buy the HMC-80 ...
3) Panasonic AG-HMC80
Pros: Although it is considerably more $ than either of the above, has a lot more features, of which I have a lot to learn about. Until March 31, it also comes with a rebate for some good accessories.
Cons: It's seems like it might be way out of my skill range.
Should I buy one of the cheaper ones and wait to buy something better when I feel more capable, or go for the HMC-80 and learn it as I go?
TIA for your thoughts.

October 18th - Road safety in a time of austerity? Too expensive. Here at Station Road in Harden, there used to be a pedestrian crossing where National Cycle Route 5 crosses the road. This is a busy trail is a recognised safe route to school that takes a heavy cyclist and pedestrian load. Station road is busy and quite fast. Up until six months ago, there was a pedestrian crossing here, which was damaged by vandalism and taken out of use.
Solution? Remove it. Well done Walsall Council. Victory for common sense and safety there - not.

Species 43: North America, Asia.
Trillium is traditionally divided
into two subgenera
, which overlap in some characters. Botanists consider subg. Trillium to be the more primitive group, because the genera considered closest to Trillium all have pedicellate flowers, as does subg. Trillium, except for one variety of T. pusillum that bears sessile to only barely pedicillate flowers.
There is not yet agreement among taxonomists about the relationships
among the species within the genus. Certain ones, such as Trillium recurvatum and T. lancifolium, clearly are closely related, but the interrelationships of many others are not obvious. In the absence of definitive studies, the species are listed here alphabetically within subgenera. Several species of Trillium contain sapogenins
that have been used medicinally as astringents, coagulants
, expectorants
, and uterine stimulants, hence the common names
birthwort and Indian balm, and T. erectum, T. grandiflorum, and possibly other species have been utilized commercially as beth root (W. B
. Zomlefer 1996). Fruits, seeds, and rhizomes of trilliums are generally considered to be poisonous. Deer, however, feed
voraciously on T. grandiflorum plants, especially in early spring
. Gardeners and wildflower enthusiasts, over most of the temperate
zones of the world, consider trilliums to be among the most beautiful of wildflowers. Species of Trillium exhibit few and obscure structural differences, making key
construction difficult (J. D. Freeman 1975).[1]

Jesus frees a demon-possessed man
26 Jesus and his disciples sailed to the Gerasenes' land, which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 As soon as Jesus got out of the boat, a certain man met him. The man was from the city and was possessed by demons. For a long time, he had lived among the tombs, naked and homeless. 28 When he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down before him. Then he shouted, " What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me! " 29 He said this because Jesus had already commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had taken possession of him, so he would be bound with leg irons and chains and placed under guard. But he would break his restraints, and the demon would force him into the wilderness.
30 Jesus asked him, " What is your name? "
" Legion, " he replied, because many demons had entered him. 31 They pleaded with him not to order them to go back into the abyss.t32 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission, 33 and the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the cliff into the lake and drowned.
34 When those who tended the pigs saw what happened, they ran away and told the story in the city and in the countryside. 35 People came to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone. He was sitting at Jesus' feet, fully dressed and completely sane. They were filled with awe. 36 Those people who had actually seen what had happened told them how the demon-possessed man had been delivered. 37 Then everyone gathered from the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave their area because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and returned across the lake. 38 The man from whom the demons had gone begged to come along with Jesus as one of his disciples. Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 " Return home and tell the story of what God has done for you. " So he went throughout the city proclaiming what Jesus had done for him.

Did you know. . .The use of communion cloths dates back to the early centuries of the church. By the fourth century, every Christian knew that during the celebration of Holy Communion, the altar was to be covered with a white linen cloth. Symbolically, the cloths represent the members of Christ, that is, the purity and the devotion of God's Faithful. "For the fine linens are the justification of the saints." It further signified the linens in which the body of Christ was wrapped when He was laid in the tomb.
The Communion Tablecloth is symbolic of the tablecloth used during the Last Supper.

Sharp - Multi-Screen Display System
Click here to see it in action
Sharp Corporation has developed a new multi-screen display system that achieves the world's thinnest System Frame Width of 6.5 mm. This new display system will be introduced into the Japanese market in August of this year.
This multi-screen display system is built around the new PN-V601 60V-inch professional LCD monitor, which uses Sharp's proprietary LCD technology to significantly reduce the width of the monitor's bezel. The width of the bezels between neighboring displays is a mere 6.5 mm, making the seams where individual LCD monitors join unobtrusive. This enables practical applications such as single large-screen video wall displays and creates new possibilities in presentation spaces not available using conventional approaches.
Sharp will continue to create unique, one-of-a-kind products based on its proprietary LCD technologies. Sharp will also work to build network-based content distribution systems to offer optimal solutions to meet the needs of customers and their applications.

Whether you are applying to graduate school or for a job, there is no substitute for real work experience on your resume. While students often research and coordinate their own intership opportunities, your academic advisor can help point you in the right direction for an amazing variety of intership opportunities ranging from local government agencies and private buisnesses to national entities based in Washington, D.C. Columbia College students are frequently placed in some of the most sought-after interships available.
Local internships may be coordinated in conjunction with your semester class schedule or over the summer. Of course, interships in Washington, D.C., and other locations, often take place over the summer. It's not unusual for Columbia College students to do multiple internships over the course of their college years.
Internships provide students with an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge gained through their studies to a work setting. During the semester students are required to reflect upon their experience and the personal challenges they face in practicing and redefining their own leadership skills.
For additional information, students should contact their academic advisor. Intership requirements differ by major, so it is important to coordinate closely with your advisor to ensure that you meet the requirments to qualify for credit hours.
Some of the benefits of an internship experience include:
- Valuable training for new skills
- Opportunities to evaluate a particular job or industry
- Establishment of a network of professionals in your field of interest
- Opportunity to receive academic credit and/or pay
- Potential full-time job offer

The fact that the Dakar has now been under way for about a week and a half is starting to show on the Ginaf truck. With skilled driving by Martin, excellent work from the mechanics and help of top quality Valvoline products there are no big issues with the truck, but one and half week of brutal extreme conditions is starting to wear the machine down. The team will focus on passing the finish line safely and not on pushing it to the maximum risking accidents so late in the rally. The machine will have to face 3 more days of extreme conditions before reaching the ultimate finish line in Buenos Aires!

FutureNet EHR 5.0 (Inpatient) Receives ONC-ATCB Certification by Drummond Group
Diamond Bar, CA
September 8, 2011
FutureNet's Electronic Health Record (EHR 5.0) platform has received the federal government's "meaningful use" stamp of approval by earning ONC-ATCB certification. The designation officially validates the company's EHR software capable of enabling providers to qualify for funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). Tested and certified under the Drummond Group's Electronic Health Records Office of the National Coordinator Authorized Testing and Certification Body (ONC-ATCB) program, the EHR is 2011/2012 compliant in accordance with the criteria adopted by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Drummond Group's ONC-ATCB 2011/2012 certification program tests and certifies that EHRs meet the meaningful use criteria for either eligible provider or hospital technology. In turn, healthcare providers using the EHR systems of certified vendors are qualified to receive federal stimulus monies upon demonstrating meaningful use of the technology -- a key component of the federal government's push to improve clinical care delivery through the adoption and effective use of EHRs by U.S. healthcare providers.

Hey, its been a while but it seems like i have hit another hardship in my life. My mom has just been diagnosed with cancer and i would forever be in your debt if you could pray for my mom and her health. Please pray that she can be treated faster, as her place in line is june, and that she can get pass this hard stage. Her name is Cynthia. I am so sorry that all i can do right now is to burden you guys with this request, but this seems to be all i can do at the moment. i'm truly lost right now and i thought that having more people pray for her the better. Miracles do exist i'm a firm believer in that and i'm begging God with all that i am to show me one more.
Thank you so much, Adrian
Thank you so much, Adrian

Protect Your Privacy During a Job Search
Among the various important elements you must consider during your job search, privacy should rank high on the list. There are several things to consider regarding privacy. First, if you are searching online for a job, you must take certain precautions, which will be outlined below. If you are conducting a more traditional job search, there are easy ways that you can safeguard your privacy, and finally, you must consider your privacy as it relates to your present employer.
First, many people use online services to job search these days. You should establish an email address that will be used for nothing other than your online job searching communications. Do not use it for personal communications. If you are applying for jobs with several employers, having a separate email address will help you keep yourself organized, as well.
Be selective about where and how you post your resume online. Make sure every site you use has clearly outlined privacy guidelines, and read them before you proceed. If there is anything in the policies that causes you discomfort, do not use the site. There are several reputable sites from which to choose. When you do post your resume online it is neither necessary nor advisable to include personal identity information such as Social Security, driver's license, bank or credit account numbers. There is no reason an employer who is initially reviewing your credentials would ever need this information. If you use multiple online job searching sites, do not use the same user name and password at each site. In the unlikely event that your information would be compromised by an unscrupulous organization, if you have used the same login on all sites, the perpetrator would then be able to access your information on multiple sites. It is your responsibility to protect your confidential information and your identity. The less information you distribute throughout the Internet, the better.
It is advisable to avoid web sites that promise to send your resume out to "thousands of employers." There is no reason to send your resume to countless, unknown employers. Limit your search to employers that you select, and submit your information to them only when you are truly ready to pursue employment possibilities with them. On web sites that offer you an option on how much information is readily available to potential employers, it is wise to choose an option that initially allows minimal visibility. As you communicate with a specific employer, exercise your right to open your full resume up for their perusal. If you are currently employed and searching for a new job, it is a good idea to keep this to yourself. Sharing your plans with co-workers can come back to haunt you. It only takes one person to start spreading the word that you are job searching before your supervisor finds out. Your job search should be conducted anywhere other than your place of employment. Interviews should be schedule on your time, not theirs. It is unethical to use your employer's property or time to look for a new job. Keep your plans confidential and conduct your search in an honorable way.
It is perfectly acceptable to instruct a potential employer not to contact your current employer. This is also a matter of privacy, and of protecting your current position. If you do choose to allow a potential employer to contact your current employer, tell your boss to expect the call. The boss should not find out about your job search from your potential new employer.
It is also important for you to protect your current employer's privacy. You should not reveal confidential company information to a potential new employer. If your company is in the initial stages of expanding or developing a new product, you should respect their privacy and not allow potential employers to gain a competitive edge by offering them this information.
Protecting your privacy should be a major priority throughout the search. Whenever you are asked for confidential information, feel free to inquire how it will be used and with whom it will be shared.

Ageing Minister Mark Butler makes gaffe about stolen cars in Penshurst
- From: News Limited Network
- March 05, 2013
BENNY Hill joker Mark Butler has made another gaffe in south west Sydney, where he was despatched by the government to announce an aged care worker pay increase.
The Ageing Minister quipped when an alarm sounded outside a Penshurst church that a car had been "stolen" with his spokesman denying he was referring to his own wheels.
Last week Mr Butler made a smutty joke about Rooty Hill, where Prime Minister Julia Gillard is basing herself this week, likening it to a Benny Hill or Carry On skit and claiming he couldn't check in to Rooty Hill RSL "with a straight face."
He later apologised for the quip and paid a visit to Rooty Hill, where he said he ate "humble pie."
Mr Butler said "as far as I am concerned that matter is over," minutes after he made the new gaffe about car theft.
Mr Butler has pledged $1.2 billion to give 350,000 aged care workers $1 an hour more from July and an identical rise in 2014-15.
Money will only be given to staff if care providers enter enterprise bargaining agreements, leading to accusations the government was giving a boost to unions, the Nursing Federation, United Voice and the HSU.
He denied the funding package was to garner support from his union base, United Voice which he represented before entering parliament.
"What we are doing is delivering on a request from the providers across the sector as well as aged care unions as well as consumer groups and clinician groups," he said.
There are concerns aged care providers could cut staff hours in a bid to absorb the pay increase.
A personal carer at Mr Butler's announcement said her hours had already been slashed because of budget constraints before the new pay regime, due in July, has begun.
Nurses Federation federal secretary Lee Thomas said the union would fight any attempt to avoid passing on the increase.
