James Harrison cherishes his role as a Steelers� co-captain. He just doesn�t believe that taking part in the pre-game coin toss is part of the duties.
So before the Steelers opened the season last week against Tennessee, Harrison chose not to accompany five other co-captains for the mid-field coin flip.
�I don�t feel like I need to,� said Harrison, an all-star outside linebacker who was the NFL�s Defensive Player of the Year last season. �It�s a coin toss. We got three or four other captains who can go out there and do that. I don�t feel any need to go out there.�
The Steelers� co-captains are QB Ben Roethlisberger and WR Hines Ward on offense, Harrison and LB James Farrior on defense, and LB Keyaron Fox and K Jeff Reed for special teams.
Farrior said he was surprised when he went out for the coin toss and noticed that Harrison wasn�t out there.
�I looked around and didn�t see him,� Farrior said. �I was going to ask him about it, but you don�t ask (James) too many questions.�
Harrison also said he did nothing wrong in delivering a hit that knocked Titans TE Bo Scaife out of the game with a knee injury.
Scaife, who may miss this week�s game against Houston, cried foul.
�He dove at my leg. It was a cheap shot. I have been playing my whole life and no one has ever hit me like that,� Scaife said. �So it was a cheap shot and I don�t care if that gets back to him either.�
When told Wednesday of Scaife�s remarks, Harrison said, �Who�s Scaife? Who is he? What did he do?�
When told that Scaife was the injured player who in essence called him a cheap-shot artist, Harrison said, �I don�t care what he said. If I hit him high, I get fined (by the NFL). I hit him low, I keep money in my pocket.
�No, I didn�t get fined,� Harrison added.
Lawrence Timmons� hopes of playing Sunday were dimmed Wednesday when he couldn�t finish practice due to a sore ankle. Timmons, an ILB, missed the season opener after suffering a high ankle sprain in the Aug. 29 preseason game against Buffalo.
Also, WR Limas Sweed left practice early with a foot injury. Timmons and Sweed are both questionable for Sunday�s game in Chicago.
Meanwhile, S Tyrone Carter was excused from practice for personal reasons. He�s due back today and will start in place of injured SS Troy Polamalu against the Bears.
Polamalu is out three-to-six weeks with a sprained knee.
By connecting on two field goals in the win over Tennessee, Reed was named the AFC�s Special Teams Player of the Week.
Reed�s first field goal, a 32-yarder, tied the score at 10-10 late in the fourth quarter. Then in overtime, his 33-yarder gave the Steelers their seventh straight opening-day win.
It was Reed�s ninth game-winning kick since joining the Steelers in 2002.

Seriously, who wants to carry around two phones? (Don't answer that.) Anyhow, RIM's getting into the game with today's announcement of BlackBerry Balance at an enterprise-focused event in Boston, a tool that'll allow the computer nerds in your office to manage, wipe, and encrypt the work-related content on your BlackBerry while leaving your personal content unscathed. Of course, not everyone wants a BlackBerry as their personal smartphone -- but for those that do, this should make you feel a little more confident that the IT dude isn't going to spontaneously delete your mom's contact record.

Day 5: Snorkelling in the islands in Thailand
Another morning alarm goes and I wake up early. It was 6.45am. Today, we were planning to go to Phi Phi island situated to the south east of Phuket. We had booked for a one day package with the help of the hostel guy for 1000 Baht per person. We were picked up from our hostel and we were on the way to the jetty. Though it was a sunny day, we didn't hesitate to climb up and sit in the roof. Soon we moved on. The sea was quite choppy and we could feel its effect on the ferry since we were on the roof. I also could see numerous jellyfish alongside the ferry. Altogether, it was a wonderful sight.
We reached our first stop for the day which was Khai island. It was a small island and we had to get into long boats which are smaller to get to the shore. We put on our swimming gear and with the snorkelling gear they provided, started watching the coral and other marine life with beautiful fishes swimming around. After an hour, we came back to our main boat and moved on to our next destination. It was lunch time and we had a wonderful Thai food with tropical fruits. It was surely the best food i had so far in Thailand. And added to this was the fact that we were on the roof of the boat with only the sea around, it gave an amazing ambience to our wonderful lunch. I could see shoals if flying fish jumping out of the water and gliding as our boat passed by.
We next stopped at Maya bay. Again, one of those places which makes the trip priceless. No words to describe this place, but yeah, I guess I have managed to get it in my camera. The water so clear and the beach had pure white sand. All around were tall cliffs which added to the beauty of this place. In short, one would find it hard to believe that such a place can exist in the real world. This is for sure a 'must visit in your lifetime' kind of place.
We then moved on to the Phi Phi island. Its a much larger island with lot of shops and crowd. I got down into the beach for a swim for the third time and enjoyed the clear beach that is without any waves. By around 4pm, we returned to the boat for the long ride back to Phuket. After a hearty dinner of rice and noodles with barbequed fish, we settled to our bed.
Day 5 expense: Rs. 2212
Total: Rs. 13,323
Location: Phuket, Thailand

Binary Option Trading – A Vehicle For The HOTTEST SCAM in 2014
Every week "some guy with an ugly website" pops up and promises you $300, $500 or more in profits every single day. And so does "Mr. No-Name" by using "his unique and unbeatable miracle software" for Binary Option Trading.
Some give a name, some don't. Some give their real names, some use an alias. Some narrate their sales video themselves, others us actors.
And they all have some things in common:
- They all lie to you.
- They all will give you their software for FREE
- They all have a single broker of choice
- They all collect a hefty commission from the broker
- They all are fraudsters
Intro To Binary Option Trading
I am writing a lot reviews about programs that promote binary option trading lately. This by itself does not make me an expert in this field. Therefor, I will keep my intro short and refer you to relevant and detailed information with links to appropriate websites.
What Is It?
"In finance, a binary option is a type of option in which the payoff can take only two possible outcomes, either some fixed monetary amount of some asset or nothing at all (in contrast to ordinary financial options that typically have a continuous spectrum of payoff)". (source: Wikipedia)
In other words, it is like playing roulette and bet on either RED or Black. If you are right, you win; the payout though is different.
When you win playing roulette you will get 100% of your bet as win, when trading binary option you will get only about 70% of your wager as profit (minus commission for the broker).
It is a very risky form of trading that requires a lot of experience. You are trying to predict if a commodity or asset will be UP or Down at a particular time during the trading session.
And therein lies the high risk. It is impossible for humans and/or computer software to make a 100% correct prediction. About the risks, read this article, published by Forbes.
Is Binary Option Trading A Scam?
No, it is not a Scam. Trading of this kind is a legitimate, although loosely regulated, form of playing the market and actually a way to make money.
There are many things you need to take under consideration before you try your luck. First off, you must decide if you really can afford to lose the money, in case you are guessing wrong too many times.
But most importantly is the choice of brokers.
A Look At Binary Option Brokers
Most of the brokerages are, conveniently, located outside the USA and Western Europe. They prefer unregulated locations like Cyprus, The Seychelles or other places in the Far East. Their business practices are totally unethical and spiteful. For example:
- You will not get a refund of your initial deposit in case you changed your mind about trading
- You can not withdraw any money before you executed a certain number of trades
- If you took their "Bonus Offer or Match Deposit Offer" you will be forced to a trading turnover that is 50 times that of the bonus.
I have read hundreds of complaints from unhappy customer. Below are some screenshots from some of them (click on the images to enlarge).
Read About My #1 Recommendation For Building A Thriving Online Business
If you are still in the mood of trying your luck with binary trading, I suggest you research brokerages first. I have done hours of research and I found some trustful websites. You can start with Binary Option Blacklist which seems to be honest and straight forward.
Then I found Binary Option Watchdog. Of course, I cannot vow for them, but I got the impression that they are also trustworthy.
Then there is Mike on the website Binary Options Channel. This link takes you to the "Black-List & Scams" page, where he lists "Brokers to Avoid" as well as some of the online Scams like Daily Binary Profits (which is on Mike's list). Watch the video that's on this page…….Mike seems to know what he is talking about as he is trading for about 2 years.
At this time, I have located ONLY ONE broker that looks legitimate. Check out the Nadex website and you will see that they actually talk about the risks involved in binary trading. Watch the video in which they clearly, and in plain English, explain HOW to trade and minimize the risks.
Let me close out this chapter with this message from the SEC:
The SEC's Office of Investor Education and Advocacy and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's Office of Consumer Outreach (CFTC) are issuing this Investor Alert to warn investors about fraudulent promotion schemes involving binary options and binary options trading platforms.
These schemes allegedly involve, among other things, the refusal to credit customer accounts or reimburse funds to customers, identity theft, and manipulation of software to generate losing trades. [go to full report]
My Daily Binary Profits Review
The sales page and video are full of hype, lies and manipulative information. The core of the transmitted information is the same you will find with all the other similar Scams. However, there is ONE topic included that is different.
The offer of FREE TRIAL Trades!
I had to see this with my own eyes and decided to sign up FOR FREE. Guess what? In order to make those simulated trades, you have to make a deposit with the broker first. Thanks, but no thanks. Then I found this interesting DISCLAIMER at the bottom of the page:
Well, at least we know how they create the "live" demonstrations of winning trades. Too bad, they don't show the losing ones 🙂
Other than that, there is really nothing extra ordinary or different on the sales page or in the video that would stand out from all the others. You watch one, you've seen 'em all.
Sure, you will hear different sob stories, different reasons why "their software" is so much better than others, the ridiculous profits you can make, but after all is said and done, it's all the same. An outright Scam. Here are some compelling reasons that support my verdict:
- Software that can predict the the fluctuations of the market does NOT exist
- Software that can predict the fluctuations of the market and is 89%, 91% or 94% correct all times does NOT exist
- Daily Binary Profits is NOT free – it cost you at least $250.00 to use some kind of program
- You will not get a refund of your deposit (or what's left), NO MATTER WHAT
- You cannot withdraw any money before you execute a certain number of trades
- The "Bonus Program" forces you to reach a trade turnover of 50 times the bonus amount
- The promoters receive a hefty commission from the broker, usually $250.00 (which coincides with the minimum deposit)
Click Here To Build A Thriving Online Business With Constantly Updated Training
Let me say a few words about the bonus program. Assume you made an initial deposit of $500.00 and signed up for the $125.00 bonus. In order to withdraw "ANY AMOUNT", you need to keep trading until you reach a total of $17,000 in trading value. Beware of the bonus!
If you are interest in previous reviews of similar Scams reviewed, here is a list.
Conclusion: Daily Binary Profits is a Scam. You will not make profit rather than lose your money. Avoid this program.
What Next
There are easier and legitimate ways to make money online. You need to know how to build a website, how to write quality content and how to get ranked in Google. Then find best selling products and merchants with affiliate programs and make money.
I learned all of that at Wealthy Affiliate, my #1 recommendation for everyone willing to learn, work hard and build a sustainable online business. You can do the same. Take a look how Wealthy Affiliate compares with Daily Binary Profits.

Tech Companies Banking On More Smartphone Shopping
China's two largest tech companies are hoping that consumers will spend more time on their phones than in malls, investing heavily in a strategy that combines e-commerce and smartphone applications.
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings are looking to tap location-based services to target shoppers with advertisements based on their whereabouts or to help them comparison shop on their smartphones—even while in a rival retailer's store.
Given China's still-creaking mobile networks, analysts aren't sure when such services will become popular, let alone commercially viable. But a new study by International Business Machines Corp. gives reasons to be optimistic such services could become popular sooner rather than later in China.
According to the IBM survey of almost 1,600 shoppers in China across age, class and gender groups, Chinese are far more likely than other consumers around the world to check out goods at physical stores and then buy them online afterward.
This group, called showroomers within the industry, makes up 24% of shoppers in China compared with just 7% in the U.S., 5% in the U.K., and 11% in Japan. And the numbers seem likely to rise; the survey found that 42% of shoppers who made purchases in stores were undecided about whether they would buy in a store or online in the future.
But most important for companies that want to influence Chinese consumers' decisions when they are in stores: 45% of showroomers used a mobile device while shopping to either compare prices, read reviews or learn more about products.
Chinese were also more willing than customers in the rest of the world to share personal data – from lifestyle and demographic information to their financial background or location – with retailers. Additionally, 36% said they were aware of whether a retailer offered an application, compared with just 2% in the rest of the world.
All of this is good news for Alibaba and Tencent, which have been investing heavily in anticipation of demand for mobile shopping.
Alibaba has invested more than $800 million over the past month in Sina's Weibo microblog and AutoNavi Holdings – an online mapping company. Analysts say a product that combines Weibo's social-media functions with AutoNavi's mapping information and Alibaba's massive e-commerce offerings could be an extremely powerful tool for selling advertising.
Meanwhile Tencent has made no secret about plans to use its popular WeChat messaging application in the future as a means to target shoppers based on their location. Tencent has also been investing in its own e-commerce offerings.
It's hard to know how developments will shake out in China, with mobile speeds still slow and the larger population yet to switch over to more advanced smartphones. But if the Chinese appetite for shopping is any clue, there's likely to be quite a bit of money to be made in applications that help shoppers navigate the malls.

ASTHMA STORIES THAT HAVE DIRE CONSEQUENCES FOR THE SUFFERERSaturday, January 30th, 2016
Two Lead Stories lately (the "asthma stories") were by far the most-suggested stories by readers recently. I think every one of them just suggested one or the other, and they probably didn't know about the other. The two stories, which happened about a week apart, and about 165 miles apart, are pretty amazing together.
But let's not just point at Texas: it happens all over. And I'm certainly not being overly dramatic by saying this can be a life or death situation. Ryan Gibbons, 12, of Straffordville, Ont., Canada (you know ZT is international, right?) died October 9, 2012, because his school wouldn't let him carry his inhaler with him. They literally took it away from him.
Ryan's mother campaigned for a new law to force schools to allow kids to have their inhalers with them. It took three years, but Ontario passed it — and apparently Ontario is still the only Canadian province to have such a law. It's called "Ryan's Law". Yet "There are still school boards all across this country and schools within those boards that don't allow children to carry their puffers," said Rob Oliphant, president of the Asthma Society of Canada. "It's usually part of a blanket understanding of medications, so they say medications are unsafe, they have that idea in their head, so they lock them up in the principal's office."
Bryant Elementary School in Philadelphia, Pa., did not allow Laporshia Massey, 12, to have her inhaler. Worse, students there are not allowed to take medications without a school nurse present. You guessed it: there was no nurse on duty on September 25, 2013, when Massey had an asthma attack. Rather than call 911, the school took the girl home, where she died. Her parents sued the school.
Those are just two cases I found in a quick search: there are more. "Certainly as a doctor we think about controlled substances like narcotics or illegal or illicit drugs like marijuana and they are nowhere near the same category," says Dr. Gary Weinstein, director of the Asthma Management Program at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas, commenting on the Garland case. Yet schools freak out because inhalers are "drugs" and we must "Just Say No!" to "drugs" because that's the zero tolerance way. Meth and cocaine are not the same as albuterol inhalers, which "have little potential for abuse," Weinstein says. Yet after all these years — and death after death — schools can't seem to grasp the difference. A drug is a drug is a drug.
The nurse at Volusia County (Fla.) School watched as Michael Rudi, 17, collapsed on the floor from an asthma attack. He had made it to the office in time, but the nurse wouldn't give him his inhaler because she didn't find a medical release form signed by a parent. His inhaler was there, in its original packaging with Michael's name on it (and his doctor's!), yet without that form they wouldn't give it to him. They called his mother, but she was not allowed to give permission over the phone; she had to come to the school and sign the form. "As soon as we opened up the door, we saw my son collapsing against the wall on the floor of the nurse's office while she was standing in the window of the locked door looking down at my son, who was in full-blown asthma attack," Sue Rudi says. She barely got there in time: her son lived. "I believe that when I closed my eyes I wasn't going to wake up," the boy said later. He was sure he was going to die.
Cheryl Selesky, the district's Director of Student Health Services, insisted it was Michael's parents' fault for not being sure a new signed form was on file — none of the forms they had signed for the previous school years were good enough. Following her rule was more important than Michael's life. The school couldn't even be bothered to call 911. And that's with a trained nurse present!
Kids need to be part of their own healthcare: they know when they need life-saving medications, and teachers and school administrators have no business butting in and taking those medications away. Having them locked up in the school office is no substitute even when there is a nurse on duty. Kids with medical problems have enough problems with bullies among their fellow students. To institutionalize the bullying by making kids gasping for breath walk or be carried to the office to beg for life-saving medications, because they're "controlled substances" not differentiated from marijuana, is absurd, and not in the best interest of the kids, society, or the taxpayers who have to foot the bill when the schools are sued over their gross negligence, allowing — even forcing — the deaths of the pupils in their care. It's downright sadistic.
U.S. News and World Report magazine reported in 2012 that "all 50 states have laws that allow children with asthma to carry inhalers at school and 48 states have laws that let youngsters carry epinephrine pens for serious allergies," yet "experts say that some kids are still being denied access to these lifesaving medications during the school day." Obviously, in 2016 that's still the case.
When school officials get in the middle of the care between a child and their doctors, those school officials need to be personally liable for their decisions: no hiding behind "policy" or "zero tolerance" whether there's a law or not. They need to be sued and lose their jobs and homes, and local authorities should consider criminal charges — and prosecutors should press for prison time. Hell, that happens all the time when people treat animals that way, so why don't we press charges when school administrators treat children this way? This crap needs to stop, and right now: there is no reason for these children to suffer, even die, when help is so easily available.

After a tough battle with rival Michigan in Ann Arbor three weeks ago, the Ohio State women's volleyball team is expecting more of the same when the Wolverines visit Columbus this weekend.
In what OSU coach Geoff Carlston called "a total grind-out match," the 14th-ranked Buckeyes (21-6, 10-5) defeated Michigan (16-10, 6-9) in four sets in their Oct. 24 meeting, with two sets going to extra points and all four sets being decided by the minimum of two points.
OSU will be going for a sweep of its rivals on Saturday at 7 p.m. in St. John Arena.
"It does help knowing that we've beat them before, but I think in the second half of the Big Ten, everyone's a different team," senior middle blocker Tyler Richardson said. "So we're still going to prepare for them just like how we would any other team."
Michigan has been reeling of late, losing its last four games — all against ranked teams — by a combined score of 12 sets to one, but Carlston said he knows the Wolverines will be out for revenge on Saturday.
"Getting them at their place, that motivates them to come here and beat us," he said. "It's nice to be home … so we certainly need to take advantage of being in St. John this week."
In particular, OSU will have its hands full with sophomore outside hitter Caroline Knop, who has averaged nearly five kills per set in her team's last five matches.
Five seniors will be playing in their final regular-season game against Michigan, including Richardson, outside hitter Elizabeth Campbell, outside hitter Katie Mitchell, middle blocker Andrea Kacsits and setter Emily Ruetter.
The Buckeyes have split their six games with Michigan since Mitchell and Kacsits arrived in 2012, and the two seniors are looking to break that tie on Saturday.
"It'd be nice to finish playing that rival my four years with a win and look back and say, 'Yeah, we took care of them,'" Mitchell said.
Richardson, who came to Columbus in 2014 after transferring from Middle Tennessee State, said she's eager to "send them home with an 'L.'"
Buckeyes get pair of 2016 commits
On Thursday, OSU announced that two high school All-Americans have signed letters of intent to join the Buckeyes next season.
Brooke Bailey, a native of Canton, Ohio, is a 6-foot-2 outside hitter who was named a first-team all-Ohio player in each of the last three seasons while playing for Jackson High School.
Madison Smeathers, of Vargersville, Indiana, plays multiple positions and was an all-Indiana selection the last two years.
What's next?
In the first of three straight road games, OSU is set to head west to take on Iowa on Wednesday at 8 p.m. The Buckeyes won the first matchup of the season against the Hawkeyes in four sets.

Grandparent Adoption, Rights and Possession
Family Law Attorney Serving Lewisville, Denton, Flower Mound, Frisco, Plano and the Surrounding Areas
As a grandparent, your grandchildren are very important to you. If you feel as though they are not living in a safe and secure environment, you may want to step in to ensure they are being taken care of. Our skilled family law attorneys at Hammerle Finley Law Firm help grandparents with various issues involving child custody.
Since 1984, Hammerle Finley Law Firm has helped grandparents with legal issues involving their grandchildren. At our firm, we can protect your rights as a grandparent.
Protecting grandparent rights in Texas
Depending on the particular facts of your case, you may have statutory or common-law rights to force grandparent access or possession.
The Texas Legislature has sought, through the Texas family code, to grant grandparents access when certain facts arise. Such action is most common when one parent is no longer involved in the child's life.
A grandparent can file an original petition for conservatorship or access to the child, or file an intervention in an ongoing custody action. The facts of each case will dictate the manner in which to proceed.
Timing is often of the essence when determining if, how or when to proceed. Hammerle Finley Law Firm's family law attorneys can meet with you to determine what your rights are and how best to proceed to achieve your goals.
Causes for A Grandparents Rights Action
Grandparents' legal rights are rather limited if the grandchildren are not in danger. However, if it can be proven that the custodial parent is unfit; the grandparent can take legal action. As skilled family law attorneys, we can talk to you about your options if your grandchild's custodial parent is exhibiting problems such as:
- Drug use
- Alcohol abuse
- Child abuse
- Child sexual abuse
- Incarceration
- Child endangerment
In these situations, grandparents may be able to seek and obtain child custody rights.

I have new piece of gear: the Sigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Lens. I picked one up on the recommendation of photographers Clay Bolt & Paul Harcourt Davies, whose wide-angle macro eBook makes considerable use of the lens's close-focus abilities. The Sigma 10mm costs about $650 and comes in versions compatible with Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Pentax small-sensor dSLR mounts. The lens will vignette if used on a full-frame 35mm camera.
This lens is good for two things.
First, the 10mm is a fisheye. So it's weird. Heavy barrel distortion over an extreme field of view grants a perspective more exaggerated than we're used to seeing with mere human vision. The effect is surreal. And fun! Creative types will do well with the Sigma 10mm's unique vista.
Second, the 10mm performs superbly for up-close photography. The lens focuses as close as 1 cm to the front element, rendering it capable of a bug's eye view of the world. Of course, this property is handy for insect photographers.
What follows is not a full review- I've only just started playing with with the lens- but a series of test shots and first impressions.
Mounted on my Canon APS-C cameras the lens does not quite reach 180°. Thus, it is not the ideal tool for pushing the boundaries of the fisheye look.
The close-focus distance presents a lighting problem as the lens tends to shade the subject. For this shot I used a hand-held fill flash just above the frame to keep Jasmine the Cat from being a mere silhoutte.
Also, when photographing cats just a couple centimeters from their noses they will attempt to snuzzle the lens. You'll want to keep the lens cleaner close.
I will definitely be taking this lens to forests. I love what it does with trees!
The Sigma 10mm fisheye shines up-close. The intimately close focus provides detail of small subjects like an acorn, yet the ultra-wide angle means the big picture stays in frame. This is a lens to shoot little things in their environment.
Details of a frost-covered rail line photographed from about 25 cm away.
Did I mention how much I like what this lens does with trees?
Fisheye lenses are prone to chromatic aberrations and degraded quality toward the edges. The Sigma is no exception. To my eye these artifacts are acceptable for a specialty lens, especially as the center portion is clear and sharp.
Again, the Sigma 10mm fisheye produces dramatic images when the subject is close.
The lens is heavier and better-built than I expected. It is priced reasonably for the quality. Barrel distortion is pronounced, but this can be either a bug or a feature, depending on your creative tastes. I suspect my lens will come into heavy rotation when I wish to make more flamboyent images of my little insect subjects in their natural environment.
Preliminary verdict? Worth the $650.

The project located in Queensland's Galilee Basin was last month granted a new approval by Environment Minister Greg Hunt with Green groups immediately threatening a new legal action against the project.
The mine, which would be the biggest in Australia, was approved subject to 36 strict conditions after a Federal Court action sidelined the project earlier this year because of its impact on the ornamental snake and yakka skink, a vulnerable species that hides under rocks.
Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg said the project would create "thousands of jobs" in Queensland and result in more than 15 billion dollar in investment flowing into regional communities.
"Most importantly of all it will help lift hundreds of millions of people out of energy poverty, not just in India but right across the world," he told the ABC News. "I think there is a strong moral case here."
Frydenberg said that, during discussions with his international counterparts, it was noted that over one billion people around the world did not have access to electricity.
"This means that more than two billion people today are using wood and dung for their cooking. Now the World Health Organisation says that this leads to 4.3 million premature deaths," he said.
"That's more people dying through those sorts of inefficient forms of energy than from Malaria, from Tuberculosis and HIV Aids all combined. So there is a strong moral case that the Green activists sometimes don't comprehend."
Frydenberg said, while there was a downturn in the price of coal, the project had a 40 year lifespan and noted an increasing demand for fossil fuels across the world.
"Energy demand will increase by a third between now and 2040 and the International Energy Agency says 75 per cent of that demand will be met by fossil fuels," he said.
"Now in India they produce their own coal but they can't meet the market because they've got so many people, over 100 million in India who just don't have access to electricity."
Greens Deputy Leader, Larissa Waters, hit back at Frydenberg and said his claim there was a strong moral case for the Adani coal mine was a "sick joke".
"Four out of five people without electricity in India are not connected to an electricity grid so can't access coal-fired power," Waters said.
Waters, who is the Greens climate change spokesperson, said that building electricity grids was slow and expensive while the use of localised, renewable energy was a "much cheaper, healthier solution".

"Tad1p, a yeast tRNA-specific adenosine deaminase, is related to the mammalian pre-mRNA editing enzymes ADAR1 and ADAR2."
Gerber A, Grosjean H, Melcher T, Keller W
Published 1998-08-17 in EMBO J volume 17 .
Pubmed ID: 9707437
DOI identifier: -
|We have identified an RNA-specific adenosine deaminase (termed Tad1p/scADAT1) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae that selectively converts adenosine at position 37 of eukaryotic tRNAAla to inosine. The activity of purified recombinant Tad1p depends on the conformation of its tRNA substrate and the enzyme was found to be inactive on all other types of RNA tested. Mutant strains in which the TAD1 gene is disrupted are viable but lack Tad1p enzyme activity and their tRNAAla is not modified at position A37. Transformation of the mutant cells with the TAD1 gene restored enzyme activity. Tad1p has significant sequence similarity with the mammalian editing enzymes which act on specific precursor-mRNAs and on long double-stranded RNA. These findings suggest an evolutionary link between pre-mRNA editing and tRNA modification.
This publication refers to following proteins:
- Tad1 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

Motorcycle insurance specialist Carole Nash is warning bikers to make sure they satisfy new insurance rules which come into force on June 20 – or risk having their bike seized and destroyed.
The company is advising legitimate riders not to get caught out by the new Continuous Insurance Enforcement law. Whilst targeted at the estimated 1.5 million uninsured riders and drivers on UK roads it affects all motorcyclists and motorists. It means that it will become an offence to keep an uninsured vehicle, rather than under existing laws which simply make it illegal to ride without insurance.
Under the new law only bikes which have a valid Statutory Off Road Notice (SORN) may be legally kept without insurance. If a bike is not SORN registered and uninsured then it will not be included on the Motor Insurance Database leaving the registered keeper open to action by the police or DVLA.
Failure to comply with the new law could see bikers having their machines seized and crushed with Road Safety Minister Mike Penning warning that the uninsured now have "nowhere to hide."
Ashtron West, chief executive of the Motor Insurers Bureau was similarly blunt, saying: "The change in the law is a stepping up of enforcement activity, so that not only those vehicles driven without insurance will be caught. Now the registered keeper must make sure that their vehicle is insured all the time."
Simon Jackson, commercial director at Carole Nash which is the UK's biggest motorcycle insurance specialist welcomed the change. "This new law is the latest weapon in the ongoing war on uninsured riders and drivers whose selfish actions cost the law abiding majority about £30 on their insurance. That's what it costs us all to pay the bills for crashes involving uninsured and untraceable road users .
"It's undoubtedly going to have an impact upon those who think that they, unlike us, need not pay to protect themselves and, crucially, other road users. The concern though is that legitimate, law abiding bikers don't get caught out by this change."
The Motor Insurance Bureau has launched a £1m campaign to raise awareness of the new scheme. It's also advising riders that they can check their bike is listed on the Motor Insurance Database by visiting the website www.askMID.com. "It's not a bad idea to check your status on the MID as it's the database which the police and the DVLA use as part of what is now a very determined enforcement strategy, said Mr. Jackson.
Under the new scheme the registered keeper of an uninsured motorcycle which does not have a valid SORN will be contacted by the DVLA and warned that they face a fine if they don't take action. If they fail to insure their bike they will then receive a £100 fine and, regardless of whether they pay it or not, if they still don't cover their machine it could be clamped, seized and destroyed if found on public land. Alternatively, the keeper could be taken to court and face a fine of up to £1,000.

Marathons... we in the fitness world tend to love them, and there is a ton of training that is involved when working towards one! Amongst all of the training that is involved when it comes to marathons, I would love to touch on one very major flaw in any marathon training program that most people are quite often unaware of!
Cardio machines are one of the most popular tools used when prepping for a marathon. I would like to raise awareness of what happens when training for a marathon using cardio machines (of any kind). The brain and body are far more connected than most people realize. Our mind is highly sensitive to what is going on in and around our bodies, and, without our choosing, can and will alter the way our bodies are functioning based on what is going on in our surroundings! What this means in terms of using cardio machines for marathon training, is that neurologically, when we use a cardio machine, the brain is aware that we are moving "forward" in motion through space, the brain signals the body to use a specific muscle recruitment pattern based on what we are doing physically. This means that when we use a cardio machine of any kind, because of the confusion of moving forwards through space, but not actually going anywhere, the brain signals the body to enlist a backward muscle recruitment pattern. So the opposite muscles that should be working when actually moving forward on the earth, fire up, and the muscles that should be firing when performing the desired activity the way that nature intended, tend to shut down in this scenario.
You may be aware of that funny feeling that happens in the body when we are going strong on a cardio machine, finish the workout, and then step off. It seems that we have a moment of strange balance and coordination when attempting to maneuver on the actual ground once again. Where this creates the biggest issue in training for a marathon, is that once we have completed the training program, and leave the cardio machines so that we can actually take part in the marathon, because of now being on the earth and actually moving forward in space the way that nature had intended us to, the body then switches back to proper muscle recruitment patterns, and we are unable to perform at less than half of the efficiency we would have been on the cardio machine.
I always very highly recommend doing the majority of your marathon training outside, even during the winter, in a safe, non-icy area with optimal outdoor gear, or even on an indoor track, or in a pool, to be sure that we are priming our bodies optimally for such an event! Bottom line, allow your body to reach the peak performance it is actually capable of during training for when the marathon comes around.
Happy marathoning!

Game Update 1
Game Update 1: The Big News[edit]
SOE recently announced the roll-out of a major game update patch for Planetside 2. Some of the most important game changes are listed below.
Tech Plant Redesign[edit]
The most striking revision of Game Update 1 is the redesign of Tech Plants. Historically, Tech Plants are arguably the most difficult Facilities for attackers to penetrate. With Force Fields up, their internal structures are accessible only through small doors and windows which form natural bottlenecks to incursion.
Tech Plant Force Fields were previously located within the main building itself. However, Game Update 1 moved Tech Plant Force Field generators into two external structures, realigning the entire strategy of Tech Plant attack and defense.
Tech Plants will likely no longer be quite the defensive juggernauts they once were. Though now two Generators rather than one must be destroyed to lower the main door shields, the position of these Generators is far more exposed. Tech Plants defensive characteristics now more closely resemble Amp Stations.
New Weapons[edit]
Seven new weapons are now available to the Factions:
|The Faction-agnostic Decimator Rocket Launcher
|The Terran TAR Assault Rifle
|The Terran T32 Bull
|The NC Carnage BR Assault Rifle
|The NC Anchor LMG
|The Vanu Corvus Assault Rifle
|The Vanu Ursa LMG
Vehicle Weapon Upgrades[edit]
- Tail Guns on the Liberator have had their visibility improved
- Flak damage of all kinds is now increased
- The M20 Basilisk has been updated to the more capable M20 Drake
- The M60 Bulldog has undergone many changes, including a reduced magazine size
- The A30 Walker has been upgraded
- Rocket Pods have been reduced in effectiveness
- The Reaver Air Hammer has been improved
- The C75 Viper and AA Turrets have been improved
- The performance characteristics of the M40 Fury have been altered, some improved, some reduced
Aircraft Defense[edit]
Aircraft resistance to several models of heavy automatic gun has been decreased, making Liberators and fighters more vulnerable to certain kinds of fire. The M40 Fury, C75 Viper, L105 Zephyr, G30 Vulcan, and M60 Bulldog are now all more effective as AA weapons.

- CML welcomes clarity on future mortgage rules
CML welcomes clarity on future mortgage rules
Published: 25 October 2012
The Council of Mortgage Lenders welcomes the certainty that the FSA's publication of the final rules under the Mortgage Market Review today brings to the market.
The consultation period to draft the new rules has been extensive, and we welcome the FSA's responsiveness in moderating a number of rules as originally drafted that would have been difficult to implement in practice, or unduly restrictive.
The final package of rules represents a widely anticipated focus on affordability for the borrower, and verification on the part of the lender, to ensure that lending is responsible. The CML supports this, and hopes that the rules will be underpinned by sensitive supervision to help the industry meet them in practice.
Paul Smee, CML director general, comments:
"Today's rules bring certainty. Lenders can now make firm plans to ensure that they meet the new requirements when they formally come into place in April 2014. In practical terms, the regulatory changes have already been widely anticipated and so are unlikely to create any significant additional or unexpected impacts.
"We look forward to working towards implementation with the FSA and its successor, the FCA, and hope that from a supervisory perspective the regulator will focus just as much on helping lenders and brokers to meet regulatory expectations as on enforcement action if rules are broken."
Notes to editors
1. The Council of Mortgage Lenders' members are banks, building societies and other lenders who together undertake around 95% of all residential mortgage lending in the UK. There are 11.2 million mortgages in the UK, with loans worth over £1.2 trillion.

The Story
After the Twilight of the Gods, the world is precariously uncertain – and Xena and Gabrielle have been missing from it for twenty-five years. Even without Livia, the power of Rome is growing: Caesar is determined to conquer by lies what he can't conquer by force, and the people at its edges know what's coming. (All roads lead to Rome, and Rome is hunting.) Xena and Gabrielle scramble to stop him before they have to wage war against a man they once called a friend. But along the way, Xena will have to confront her past against a rogue band of women warriors, and Gabrielle, whose secret visions are becoming prophecy, will have to protect Xena – at any cost.

VW Group Diesel Emissions Activity
Settlement of the customer class-action lawsuits
The class action lawsuits filed on behalf of Australian customers relate to approximately 16,000 Australian EA189 Volkswagen, Audi, and Skoda vehicles. If all affected vehicles participate, each of these customers can expect a payment per vehicle of approximately AU $1,400 (approximately €870), on average.
A proposed settlement has been reached in the class action proceedings filed in the Federal Court of Australia against Volkswagen, Audi, and Skoda in relation to the diesel emissions issue. A Settlement Notice containing important information for group members on how to register to participate in the proposed settlement is now available on the Federal Court of Australia website at www.fedcourt.gov.au/law-and-practice/class-actions/class-actions or click here to download the Settlement Notice.
ACCC Regulatory ruling
Volkswagen AG (VWAG) firmly believes that the penalty of $75m agreed in principle with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to resolve the regulatory proceedings was a fair amount and is carefully reviewing the Court's reasons for deviating from that amount. VWAG will determine in coming weeks whether it will appeal the decision of the Court.
Some 57,000 Volkswagen vehicles with EA189 diesel engines imported to Australia were involved in this matter. Most of these have subsequently had an update to the engine control software under the ongoing voluntary recall. The relevant authorities have confirmed that this update satisfies European and Australian emission standards.
Today's decision imposes a penalty only on VWAG. The case against Volkswagen Group Australia has been dismissed in its entirety with no orders made against Volkswagen Group Australia.
The case against Audi AG and Audi Australia in respect of Audi vehicles, has also been dismissed in its entirety with no orders made against any of the respondents to the Audi regulatory proceedings.
Today's decision relates specifically to the regulatory litigation and is separate from the in-principle settlement which has been reached in the customer class action proceedings (approval of which is scheduled to be heard by the Court on 26 March 2020).

Year C - Pentecost+4 or Community Practice+4
June 12, 2016
A Psalm for the Flutes. Flutes are ancient instruments of hearing again a creative breath moving over the deep in tones too precious to be turned into everyday words. Here we move from groans to clarity by way of the lens of enemies.
Consider the gift of your enemies that refine your being. Can you hear that far-off song hailing yet another creation? Thank a flautist for momentarily embodying this ancient tune and do your very best to return these weary and wobbly words to a breath over a hole.
For the moment I will refrain from adding one more word about this portion of Psalm the Fifth. Listen behind the words.
