June 16 2016: The second release of Australia's first ever Rental Affordability Index (RAI) reveals the lowest-income households in Australia are paying up to 85 per cent of their income on rent, while rental unaffordability is extending to professionals.
The data has reinforced calls for policy reform to address rental and housing affordability. The Index has been created by National Shelter, Community Sector Banking and SGS Economics & Planning. It includes data from the September and December 2015 quarters as well as historical data dating back to 1996. Data was not available for Victoria.
Under current market conditions, the RAI reveals low-income households typically need to pay 50 to 85 per cent of their income on rent. It is generally accepted that a household is in housing stress if it pays more than 30 per cent of its income on rent.
Adrian Pisarski, Executive Officer of National Shelter, said the latest index highlights many rental households are falling into poverty and are being pushed to suburban fringes due to high rents.

Australia asked to #VoteHome to end the housing crisis by 2025
Australia is in the midst of a housing crisis, with house prices and rents rapidly increasing, and people paying so much for housing that they are forced into financial hardship.
In the lead-up to the federal election, a national alliance of housing, homelessness and welfare peak bodies has formed to ensure housing affordability and homelessness are tier one election issues.
The alliance – formed by Homelessness Australia (HA), National Shelter, the Community Housing Industry Association (CHIA) and the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) – asks all Australians to stand up for change by signing the Vote Home petition calling for a national strategy to end the housing crisis by 2025.
National Shelter Executive Officer Adrian Pisarski explained, "Housing costs are the single biggest expense in household budgets, and affordability keeps getting worse – we're in a housing crisis. Developing a national plan to end the housing crisis is the most important issue for all parties in this election."
Homelessness Australia Chair Jenny Smith added, "Every night more than 105,000 Australians are homeless; and 40 per cent of those are under 25. Unless we address the crisis of availability of affordable housing, we cannot solve this completely unacceptable problem."
CHIA CEO Greg Withers explained, "An important driver of this crisis is a shortage of over 500,000 rental properties that are affordable and available to people on low incomes; and consequently 205,000 people on public and community housing waiting lists. We urgently need a national strategy to deliver the housing that people need."
"Current tax policy has fuelled Australian housing prices to record and unaffordable levels. Tax settings that encourage speculative investment and inflate house prices – like negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount – must be addressed in the national plan," said ACOSS CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie.
By signing the Vote Home petition, Australians can ensure their politicians know that a fairer more equitable Australia, where access to a safe and affordable home is achievable for all, is important to them.
To Vote Home, go to:
The first Turnbull/Morrison Budget has ignored the issue of housing affordability except to again rule out changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax and dream about the benefits of value capture on infrastructure.National Shelter Executive Officer Adrian Pisarski said "In a budget struck as a national economic plan there as no plan for housing".
Housing is the major cost facing every vulnerable household and this budget offers no relief.
"The budget continues to favour speculative investors over home owners."
"The failure to address this causal factor in house price inflation is a failure to support the home ownership aspirations of generations X,Y and millennials.
"The failure to address the tax treatment of housing locks people in the rental market adding demand and price pressure to rental affordability and adding to the one million households in housing stress.
"Housing is the major cost facing every vulnerable household and this budget offers no relief".
Mr Pisarski noted that the budget discusses replacing the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing with a new remote housing partnership but provides no forward estimate expenditure to ensure it is funded.
Additionally the budget provides:
"The budget does introduce a compulsory rent deduction scheme for public housing tenants which we think will limit the finial flexibility of those affected, Mr Pisarski said.
When: 11am, Wednesday 16 March, 2016
Where: Senate Courtyard, Parliament House Canberra
Who: Adrian Pisarski, National Shelter Executive Officer plus National Shelter office holders and members including Homelessness Australia.
Key points:
Housing policy peak National Shelter is challenging all federal Members of Parliament and Senators to be bold in the face of pressure from vested interests and commit to real tax reform and a fairer housing system.
National Shelter members from across Australia have converged on Canberra to meet with MPs and Senators to urge them to put the wellbeing of ordinary families in their electorates first.
"For the past few weeks we've all been subjected to a scare campaign of outlandish claims that reforming negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount will implode the Australian housing market," said Adrian Pisarski, National Shelter Executive Officer.
"What's really scary is that our home ownership rate is already waning, rent prices are really hurting people, and more than 100,000 Australians are homeless on any given night.
"Almost half of houses sold go to investors who, encouraged by multiple generous tax breaks, push up prices for everyone.
"We have to ask ourselves if we're willing to be a nation of renters. And if we're willing to accept that death of the great Australian dream, what are we going to do about households paying crippling rents?
Last year National Shelter, in partnership with Community Sector Banking and SGS Economics, launched Australia's first comprehensive rental affordability index. The Index showed that some families were forced to pay as much as 65% of their income to secure rental housing.
"Governments can't have it both ways. You can't distort the market for the sake of investors, and leave tenants to carry the can. The rental market can be a brutal place to raise a family and we are locking generations out of ownership.
"We want sensible reform with all party support to fix housing affordability. After all, we're taking about nothing less than the homes in which we live our lives".
Spokesperson for Homelessness Australia Joanna Siejka added "We need every politician in Australia to understand homelessness and help our services to end it. There is no reason Australia can't solve this issue if we put our mind to it."

National Shelter, Community Sector Bank and SGS Economics and Planning have partnered to launch Australia's first Rental Affordability Index.
The Index reveals the depth and extremity of housing stress faced by renters in the current market. Both low income and moderate income households suffer poverty due to high rental costs.
Housing stress occurs when households pay 30% or more on rent. Low income households are having to pay around 65% of income on rent to access a tenancy. This means that rents are extremely unaffordable.
This first issue of the Index reveals evidence that low income households are in a dire situation, single income households are worst off and rent costs are now locking low and moderate income households out of inner cities.

Mini summit must table housing affordability
National Shelter media release 1 October 2015
Peak body National Shelter calls on the mini summit to tackle housing affordability including putting reforms to negative gearing and capital gains tax exemptions, previously ruled out, back on the table.
Executive Officer Adrian Pisarski said "If Prime Minister Turnbull's mini summit is intent on addressing reform then changing tax settings to reduce house price inflation must be among the issues to be addressed."
See the complete media release release here
Media release: Proposed new public housing rent models fail affordability test.
Affordable housing peak National Shelter has today released a report damning reform options under consideration by the Federal Government.
Proposals to move public housing tenants to market rents supported by Commonwealth Rent Assistance would place public tenants in housing stress with insufficient disposable income after meeting massive rent increases.
According to Shelter's Executive Officer Adrian Pisarski "Public housing is there to protect vulnerable tenants who need the affordability provided by low rents."
Across Australia public housing rents are set as a proportion of income, typically 25% of mostly benefit payments, which make public housing far more affordable than private rental housing.
Public tenants do not receive Commonwealth Rent Assistance but tenants in private rental who are on benefits do.
"We accept there is an anomaly between public tenants and private renters on similar incomes, where private renters pay far more, but this is an argument to increase affordable housing supply not make all tenants equally poor." Mr Pisarski added
While a reasonable case can be made for reforming rent policy on a number of grounds, none of the reform options currently on the table appear to be viable replacements for the current approach of basing rents on tenant income. Rent policy reform, if it is to be seriously attempted, requires a much more nuanced and thoughtful examination than it has received in policy processes to date.
The market has run away from social housing and neglect by successive governments has let it. To suggest that we should level the playing field between social housing tenants and low income tenants in the private market is like saying we should remove subsidised medicines and increase disease and distress.
An argument oft cited to change rent policy is that low public rents create a disincentive to work. A recent study by the Productivity Commission has found public tenants are no less likely to find or retain work than others when the characteristics of public tenants is taken into account. http://www.pc.gov.au/research/completed/housing-employment
The Shelter study finds that the current rent setting for most public tenants is required to provide affordability close to services and opportunities. Reform is required to ensure financial sustainability for the system but needs more careful consideration and flexibility.
The way to make social housing both fair and viable is to build more housing, utilise community housing organisations with private finance based on appropriate government incentives, not by slugging public tenants.

Negative gearing will not help "ordinary" Australians
The Property Council of Australia (PCA) and the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) recently commissioned a report "Australian Housing Investment: Analysis of negative gearing and CGT discount for residential property". A PCA article cites the report to argue that negative gearing and capital gains tax discounts (CGT) for property investors are good for the country, countering recent criticism of these measures contributing to house price inflation. PCA also advocates for the same measure as the correct approach to investment and savings tax treatments and points to a number of "myths" about negative gearing and CGT. In this article, National Shelter challenges the PCA statements, encouraging readers to look at the bigger picture.
Recent public criticisms of negative gearing and CGT include claims that both measures are:

Renters left to suffer while we wait and wait for tax reform
Peak housing group National Shelter says the budget failed the fairness test the government trumpeted and the Commonwealth must now lead a nationally coordinated effort to address the affordable housing crisis.
While stimulus was provided to small business and child care and parental leave received attention, nothing was done to relieve the housing stress experienced by over 1 million Australian households.
National Shelter Executive Officer Adrian Pisarski said "Rents are the largest household cost faced by every struggling family, they have been rising rapidly, but renters got nothing from the budget."
"If we are serious about reducing welfare costs we need to address the market failure not wait for market magic to fix the problem."
Senate Inquiry findings show urgent need for budget action on housing
Housing Policy Peak National Shelter has pointed to the findings of the Senate Economics Committee Inquiry into Housing Affordability as clear evidence of the need for urgent budget action.
The Inquiry found that far too many Australian households live in housing stress, struggle to find adequate accommodation, pay too much and face homelessness as a consequence.
"The Government must respond to the Senate Inquiry by boosting social housing investment, signalling tax reform and reinvigorating the National Rental Affordability Scheme (NRAS)," National Shelter Executive Officer Adrian Pisarski said.

Genre: Feature
For those who haven't been following the Tailiens series, it's the year 2012 and the CIA has for the last 18 years operated a string of bordellos where the agency conducts covert sexual research. Years of unauthorized experiments have created various mutations: several multilegged alien creatures and a humanoid with a vagina where her mouth should be.
The third and final installment to Pachard's futuristic Tailiens "epic" only suffers slightly from the dominance of the "Pussy Face" character that was introduced in the last moments of #2. Sharon Kane, possessing the most beautiful and expressive eyes in the business, plays the creature silently with pathos and dignity. And it should be noted that, while it's difficult to get all hot and bothered over this grotesque mutant, Pachard's trying to make several statements at once and achieves a surprisingly effective narrative balance.
Unfortunately, because so much is going on and so much has gone before, Tailiens 3 doesn't stand up very well by itself. Still, the performances are first-rate throughout, as are the overall production values. And the sex scenes, when they're not too weird, are very stimulating. The F/X, as good as this genre gets, also deserve to be mentioned.
If you've seen the first two, don't miss this one. And, for retailers who stock the first two, this is a "must stock" item.

the only way is to do a wire job. solder allwires to the matrix then solder the wire to the board in their corresponding order.
Posted 06 April 2004 - 02:25 PM
Or not. I have no soldering gun, this isnt my XBOX, its for a friend the screw is stripped what can I do!!?!?
Posted 06 April 2004 - 08:30 PM
I read somewhere about using a small bolt, making sure to put some sort of tape on the bottom of the board so the bolt doesn't short something out. It's definatley what I'd try.
Posted 06 April 2004 - 08:46 PM
Another way, change the modchip.
Posted 07 April 2004 - 04:11 PM
You can tap a new hole or buy a new screw at a hardware store, I think in one of the many tutorials on this site they tell you the exact screw to get. To keep from strippin the thing in the first place, don't overtighten, tape the lock washer, and make sure to use a torx and not a small phillips.
Posted 08 April 2004 - 04:25 AM
Whatever thanks for the help guys I fixed it myself, got the bottom of an xbox that will never be modded with a MATRIX and took the bottom part off and swaped them. The original screw works GREAT! I aligned the chip without even turning on the box tightened it and booted Slayers2.0, upgraded HDD

Reviews for Youthlinc
For 16 days I had one of the most amazing experiences of my entire life thanks to the Youthlinc organization and the wonderful individuals that helped make the journey possible. I traveled to Nepal with 41 other participants to perform work at a school in Suntakhan. Although we were only in country for 12 days, they were the most life changing ones which I have experienced. I would highly recommend this program to anyone, not simply for the opportunity to help so many other people, but for the chance it gives one to grow as an individual. You may think that you will teach the people in county much, I promise you, though, it is nothing compared to the lessons you will learn from them. I encourage to take this chance to leave a beautiful legacy within the hearts of all those who you will touch, for the memories you leave them will remain remembered for a lifetime.
Youthlinc is absolutely incredible. my experience with them was unforgettable and will always be in my heart. I enjoyed the opportunity to be apart of something bigger. Definitely one of the best organizations out there. our service trip to Guatemala this year was one for the books, it really made me take things and life into perspective. I would not hesitate to go on another trip like this through youthlinc. Their organization was exceptional the people that run the organization are exceptional people and I loved my team and the things I went through with them. I love love love youthlinc.
Going on a youthlinc trip has truly changed my life, going across the world to help and teach others is an experience you won't receive often, and I assure you that I learned more from them than i could have ever taugh them. Youthlinc is a great program that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.
We went to a small village in northern Thailand and taught the students English and the women sewing. The women we taught to see ended up starting a business. It is an export emcee I wouldn't trade do the world and recommend for anyone interested in a humanitarian trip.
Youthlinc is amazing. I would not be the person I am if I hadn't gone on a Youthlinc trip. It's absolutely life changing. The friendships you make arrangements unforgettable. To see the happiness on the villagers faces makes everything worth it.
My son Phillip joined the Youthlinc team in 2016 and traveled to Thailand on his service trip in June. It was the best thing he has done to date in terms of developing an un-paralleled appreciation for culture and realization that the world is out there for him to see.
I would recommend it to anyone who has a student that wants to expand their horizons!
Youthlinc is an amazing program. As an educator of 25 years and a parent of a Youthlinc volunteer it is by far one of the most successful leadership training program for you. I have seen my own daughter and hundreds others thrive. The beauty of this organization is that it changes the hearts of all involved. My daughter loved serving the elderly on our local town and was the light of the rest home. She cried when she had to leave Guatemala after her summer humanitarian trip. What Youthlinc accomplished in two short weeks is nothing short of miraculous. 38 families were taught vocational skills, business and money management, and dozens of children we estatic to learn about sound, health and dozens of other lessons. Concrete floors were poured and specially designed stoves installed. Lives will be saved literally by not having toxic smoke in their homes. The adult volunteers sacrificed and pay their own way to ensure the experience is superior. When a young adult catches a vision to serve then they fulfill the mission statement in its entirety- "Creating Humanitarians For Life!" All my children will be Youthlinc humanitarians! Judy has created a model that is second to none. This organization needs to be in every state!
My daughter went to Guatemala in 2015 and Thailand in 2016. Both times, she raised the money herself, proving it can be done. And it was so worth it. She has a good heart and Youthlinc is a journey of the heart, bringing out the best in all who participate, youths and adults alike. The trips are well-planned, they accomplish a lot and the participants come back both grateful for their own blessings and anxious to help others. Best of all, the service they do in their own communities gives them a keener understanding of many people's lives — and a deep desire to forge connections and help others. If you have a chance to go, GO!
Youthlinc is a traveling nonprofit that focuses on both community and worldwide service. My experience with this nonprofit was as a student volunteer. I volunteered rather frequently with other groups before joining Youthlinc, but the Youthlinc program helped me serve on a larger scale. To participate you have to contribute at least 80 hours of local community service, and after doing this and raising the money necessary, you go to another country to serve the education systems there. I went to Thailand with Youthlinc, and it taught me a lot and helped me develop a greater passion for serving, and a stronger sense of the worth of others, as well as my self. I learned a lot with Youthlinc, and highly recommend doing it if you are interested in serving both your community and worldwide.
Youthlinc is the best nonprofit I have ever worked with. This is simply because it provides everyone with opportunities to help others in our backyard and 2,700 miles away. This nonprofit teaches true leadership, commitment and hard work to anyone who is involved. This was my first year participating and I was a part of the Guatemala Team. However, the airport was not where this journey began. It was required for me and all of the other students on my team to volunteer at least 80 local service hours before leaving to Guatemala. I was lucky enough to participate in the Real Life Program coordinated by Youthlinc. Every Monday and some Wednesday's I would go to the Hser Ner Moo community center and help teen refugees living in Salt Lake City with their homework. Not only were we tutors but we would also help teach life lessons to the students everyday. Some of these students could barely speak English, however every single one was eager and motivated to learn and succeed. I learned from this experience how truly important education is and how sometimes I take it for granted. These students made me realize how lucky I am to be going to school and to be learning. Volunteering locally was not the only thing each team member had to do to be prepared for Guatemala. We had monthly meetings, and at these we would prepare. This is where Youthlinc teaches each student commitment. This organization taught us to commit to what we are doing and to do our best all the time. Our team prepared very well for the trip, we knew what we were going to do with the two communities we were helping and how we were going to do it. However, without this preparation our time in Guatemala would not have been as useful and productive for the people of Pacoxpom and las Escobitas. I was a participant of this business committee. We prepared to have a business fair for all the men and women in the community. During the fair we each created lesson plans to teach the men and women. The subjects of these lessons varied from money management to entrepreneurship or to basic marketing skills. When we were in Guatemala and gave our business fair it could not have gone better. The men and women could not have been more responsive. We all felt like what they learned will now help small businesses in the community to grow which will help with the villages economy. However, this would not have happened if each person in my committee didn't work as hard as they did and commit to our projects. We were fully prepared which was why the business fair was a huge success. Another thing our committee lead was computer lessons to the students at Las Escobitas. This was an experience I will never forget. The kids were scared to use a computer, something I use everyday. They simply did not know how to use one. Showing them and watching their faces light up while they were learning was unforgettable. These lessons will now benefit the students in school forever, they can now learn and do their work on the computers. It's examples like these that makes Youthlinc such a unique nonprofit. The work we do locally and globally is not work that will be forgotten. Everything we did in the villages the people will use forever. It's not something they saw and will now forget as they move on with their lives. Youthlinc provides people with skills and tools that can make their life more prosperous for a lifetime, not just the two weeks we are there. Another example of this was our construction project in Guatemala. The people in the community had dirt as their floors, and stoves with no ventilation. These were both health hazards that our team was able to help with. As a team we put in cement floors in 37 homes, and in each of these homes installed a new stove with ventilation. They will never have to cook on an open stove again. This made the people so happy and they were so thankful for the floors and the new stove. Not only were we working hard with construction, but each student taught an English lesson to the students of the villages. These lessons varied and it was a great way for the students to advance their English and learn something new. Regardless of what we did we were always having fun, and creating memories that we will never forget. We being my team and I and the people of Guatemala. We came together as a community and created so many emotional bonds that were difficult to say goodbye to. On this trip I learned many things, developed several friendships, and developed many skills that I will use for the rest of my life. Not only did my team change the lives of Las Escobitas and Pacoxpom but our lives were changed as well. All these memories, and this whole experience was because of Youthlinc. As a nonprofit Youthlinc's goal is to create lifetime humanitarians. I can confidently say that the 2016 Guatemalan team is now full of lifetime humanitarians, all because of Youthlinc, I simply cannot wait to participate with them more in the furture.

This paper considers how the motion of an observer in an isotropic universe may be determined by measurements. This provides a means to identify inertial frames, yielding a simple resolution to the twins paradox of relativity theory in such a universe. We propose that isotropy is a requirement for a frame to be inertial; this makes it possible to relate motion to the large scale structure of the universe.

Jeremy Boucher had not thought about Wednesday night as a last.
But it will be the last time the recent Pennsville graduate plays football with teammate and co-captain Ryan Simpkins.
This was going to be the season for Spenser Gray and Quakertown as the senior had spent her first three years helping to build up the program. Then the unthinkable happened to the UNC-Charlotte recruit. She got hurt during the first game.
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Pat Hohlfeld tossed a six-hitter and walked only one as Boyertown topped District 7's Plum, 4-1, and captured the PIAA Class 4A baseball championship Thursday at Penn State's Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

If you have a photo of yourself reading one of my books, or from a book signing, I would love to see it! Post _your photo_ on my Facebook page, and each month I will feature one in my email newsletter.
Each Thursday on Facebook, I post a photo from my past, ranging from my childhood to a few months ago.
Thanks to SO MANY OF YOU for coming out on my Off The Page US and UK Tour!
The Leaving Time hardcover book tour came to an end in late January. I rounded it out in South Africa and had a blast with my fans…and elephants too! And if you didn't make it to one of these events, watch a video from South Africa (January, 2015), the UK or CBS This Morning.
A huge THANK YOU to all of my UK, Canadian and US fans who came out to my Leaving Time tour that ran from October 13–January 19; check out some photos of these events below…South Africa: January 19–23 »

Interested in having Jodi speak at your school, business, or women's group? Contact Miriam Feuerle to learn about fees and availability.
Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on the way you look at it, I've got so many terrific fans who come out to see me that the events can get pretty crowded. It's really hard to enjoy yourself when you are standing with 350 other people in a space that can accommodate 50. For this reason, most bookstores have to move the event offsite. Sometimes this means they have to pay for the venue, too. It's up to the bookstore to decide whether they'd like to pass that cost along to consumers.
In some cases, it's a couple of dollars for a seat. In others, they prefer that you buy the book from them (instead of from Costco, or Amazon) when you come to the event. Why? Because right now, bookstores are having a really hard time making ends meet. You might be able to get a book cheaper at Amazon, but you won't be able to hear the author speak or get the book signed. Bookstores usually provide that service through reading series - they're the ones who organize the events and make sure you are having a good time, and in return, some feel it's only fair that you buy the book at their business establishment. It's sort of hard to argue with that theory! Some venues are offering discounts to students or kids; we have tried to ask for that accommodation wherever possible.
But ultimately the decision to charge or not to charge is the bookstore's. It might interest you to know that in other countries - the UK and Australia, for example, book events are NEVER free! So - although I truly hope that anyone who wants to hear me speak can do so - I also know that it's not fun for anyone to be packed into a crowd of people, and I promise you that if you do have to pay for an event, you'll be comfortable, you'll be able to hear and see, and you'll have a great time.

This is a quick run through the Art Expo 2009 of the Artists of Casa Italia. It is a brief sample of the works on display. Since all of the images had to be horizontal, the album does not do justice to vertical art works. And since the lighting wasn't controlled, there are some strange reflections---so to get the full impact visit in person. The show moves to the Addison Village Hall Rotunda on August 17.

The proecession took Union to 22nd St. to the new Oratory of San Rocco which replaced the traditional Italian Catholic Church which was ordered demolished by the Chicago Archdiocese in 1995 and rebuilt in its present form a few years later.

The drug mule who yesterday
admitted hiding heroin inside her body and smuggling it into
New Zealand was reportedly on the run from South African
police who wanted her on drugs charges.
Laura Elizabeth Cilliers, 32, flew from Singapore to
Christchurch on June 15 when she was caught with $1.2 million
worth of the class A drug.
She was looking unwell and Customs officers found 99 heroin
pellets, totalling 1.2kg, concealed in her luggage, and on
and inside her body.
Surgery was required to remove one pellet due to fears it
could kill her.
At Christchurch District Court yesterday, Cilliers pleaded
guilty to a charge of importing the class A drug.
She has been remanded in custody for sentencing next month.
Now, it has been revealed that the bar worker was arrested on
March 25 for possession of marijuana on a farm in Middelburg
- a large farming and industrial town in the South African
province of Mpumalanga.
Middelburg police spokesman, Captain Khanyisile Tshwane told
South Africa news outlet Rapport that Cilliers and two other
people were arrested and appeared in a magistrates court the
following day.
She later skipped bail and a warrant had been issued for her
arrest, it was reported.
The case against the other two suspects has since been
withdrawn, Captain Tshwane told Rapport.
A South African Consulate representative was at court for her
appearance in Christchurch yesterday.
Judge David Saunders told Cilliers, who appeared via

Explains difficulties you may face as a parent with a mental health problem, suggesting how you can help yourself, your children, and explains what support is available.
Naomi blogs about living with a mental health problem while coping with some of the challenges of parenthood.
Posted on 14/04/2015
Many people worry that it will be difficult to cope with parenting if they have a mental health problem. It is natural to be concerned about the impact this will have on you and your children. However, with the right support and resources, it is perfectly possible to be a good parent while managing a mental health problem, and to care for and support your children in a positive way.All parents face challenges, but if you are coping with a mental health problem, you may face additional difficulties. For example:
It can be easy to blame any difficulties you have as a parent on your mental health problems, or try to over-compensate by becoming a 'perfect parent'. However, it's important to remember that all parents have difficult times and there is no such thing as being perfect. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself or give yourself too much of a hard time.Sometimes it's hard to remember that you can't do everything exactly right. I do worry about whether my mental health problem makes me a less useful mum to my son. My partner always reminds me that no one's perfect and I work really hard for my son.
There is so much taboo still as you worry people will think you're not a fit mum. In fact I think you try extra hard to be a good parent.
Watch Nick, Darren and Kate discuss what it's like being a parent with a mental health problem and share their tips on coping.

Nokia, HTC Overturn Two-Thirds of IPCom Phone Patent
Nokia Oyj and HTC Corp. said they won part of a bid to overturn a mobile-phone patent that intellectual property holding company IPCom GmbH & Co. relies on in litigation against the two device makers.
Germany's Federal Patent Court in Munich today struck down about two-thirds of the patent, upholding one portion. Nokia and HTC had asked the court to totally void the patent in the country.
IPCom, based in Pullach, Germany, is seeking to force Nokia and HTC to pay royalties for a portfolio of mobile technology patents it acquired from Robert Bosch GmbH in 2007. Nokia overturned some IPCom patents in a U.K. court and lost a bid to invalidate another patent at the European Patent Office.
"This is a great victory for us," HTC's German lawyer, Martin Chakraborty, said after the ruling. "The part that's left for IPCom now won't help them much in the case pending in civil court against us."
The court said in the ruling about the cost of litigation that IPCom lost two thirds of the case and prevailed in one third. The ruling can be appealed.
"I can say now that our only task here was to determine who will appeal," presiding Judge Wolfgang Gutermuth said after the delivering the ruling. "We know that this case will move up to Germany's top civil court."
Patent Protection
IPCom changed its strategy during the case and had given up some claims about what the patent protects. At a hearing today before the ruling, the court said it was unlikely to uphold the protection IPCom had sought at an Oct. 27 session. After IPCom lawyers narrowed the patent claims, the court backed that part.
"It's a very positive ruling for IPCom because the patent is now valid," IPCom Managing Director Christoph Schoeller said in an e-mailed statement. "We hope the civil litigation based on that patent will now come to a conclusion we've been fighting for years. Nokia and HTC haven't paid a cent for using the patents for years."
The court agreed with Nokia's view that the patent was invalid as granted and found most of IPCom's amended claims also to be invalid, Nokia spokesman Mark Durrant said in a e-mailed statement. The one patent claim which has survived so narrows the patent as to require the re-examination of any alleged infringement, he said.
Nokia rose 3.3 percent, or 23.5 euro cents, to 7.35 euros at the close of trading in Helsinki.
IPCom has filed separate infringement suits in German courts to stop the handset makers from selling products in that country. Some of the suits were put on hold while patent authorities and patent courts rule on the validity of the intellectual property.
IPCom won an infringement case against HTC in a Mannheim court based on the patent in today's case. That suit is on appeal. Chakraborty said he is now optimistic he will win the appeals case.
Today's cases are: BPatG, 5 Ni 67/09 (EU) and 5 Ni 77/09 (EU). The patent is: EP 1186189 (DE 500 14321).

(VIENNA) - When it comes to Austria, even porn stars are wary of scandal. Viennas social event of the year, The Opera Ball, kicks off today with plenty of haute couture and frolicking. But it wont include the nine pornographic film stars represented by Hollywood impresario David Greenspan who had been invited to the event by their German agent, Thomas Janisch.
Greenspan has nixed the plan. He wants them to have nothing to do with Austria right now. Janischs guest list included John Wayne Bobbitt, who suffered the ultimate revenge at the hands of a humiliated spouse, transvestite star ChiChi La Rue and the lesbian team Janine and Julia Ann.
The intention was to shoot part of a porn film in one of the Opera boxes during the ball.
No Sex, Please Were Austrian
Dolly Buster, the diva of German porn stars, has also canceled, in spite of a $70,000 fee for her presence that she intended to give to charities for AIDS victims, the homeless and animal-rescue activities.
She says the small print in her contract included opportunities for sex. Her lawyer warned her that might make her liable for prosecution.
Other prominent guests including film icons Catherine Deneuve and Claudia Cardinale, and Portuguese President Jorge Sampaio, with an entourage of 100 have canceled already in protest of Austrias new coalition government.
For that government includes the right-wing Freedom Party, which until Tuesday was headed by nationalist Joerg Haider. Haiders pronouncements praising Nazi policy and criticizing immigrants have isolated the country internationally.
U.S. opera star tenor Neil Shicoff announced in an open letter to Vienna Opera House manager Ioan Holender that he would not attend, saying that he,as an American and a Jew, has moral objections to mixing socially with Austrias Freedom Party ministers who sympathize with neo-Nazi ideas.
Many Austrian stars of sport, screen, opera and theater are also giving the ball a miss this year.
The ball will, however, be attended by 4,200 guests paying $200 minimum for a ticket. With gentlemen in white tie and tails, ladies in full-length evening gowns, the guests will dance the night away after the entry of several hundred debutantes in white gowns and a performance by the Vienna Opera Ballet.
Many of the guests will be barons of German industry and banking Magnates as interested in networking, no doubt, as they are in any of the festivities.
Those festivities start with the famous left-handed Viennese Waltz in which everyone goes counterclockwise, as compared with the normal clockwise waltz direction. The event coincides with Mardi Gras and Carnival celebrations observed in other cities around the world before the start of Lent.
No Haider, Either
Haider says he will not be there. Most of the Freedom Party government ministers say they will.
Some 1,000 police plan to guard the guests from a predicted massive anti-ball demonstration and to protect them inside the Opera House.
Viennas spy masters have provided facilities to discreetly check the identity of those who book the $12,000 Opera boxes. The cost of securing the ball is astronomic and comes out of the taxpayers pocket, not the proceeds of the ball, which are for Opera House employees, who are civil servants who have fallen on hard times.
Anti-government factions have called on demonstrators to hold a masked carnival Hip-Hop-Anti-Ball Ball in the streets outside the Opera building. They have promised a deafening sound installation that could drown out all the waltzing inside. They expect at least 10,000 will follow their appeal.
You Must Bring Your Wife
The ball season in Austria stretches from before Christmas to the beginning of Lent, culminating in the Opera Ball, which is always held on the last Thursday before Ash Wednesday. It is part of the Carnival celebrations in this mainly Roman Catholic country.
The balls are charity events, meant to raise funds for the needy.
Theres a Sugar-Bakers Ball, a Firemans Ball, a Vienna Philharmonic Ball, a Ball for the Homeless, and a Bad Taste Ball which was canceled this year because the organizers said the Opera Ball itself was bad taste enough for one season.
The Opera Ball is the only event on the social calendar to which a man must take his wife not his mistress.
Austrian President Thomas Klestil, the Opera Balls patron, tried to break that rule several years ago, just after he had been re-elected on a family values ticket.
It cost him his marriage, his savings, and nearly his job. This year he will be there with his former mistress at his side. She is now his wife. Scandal is no stranger to the Opera Ball.

The Act provides that "[e]ach State shall, not later than January 1, 2014, establish an American Health Benefit Exchange (referred to in this title as an 'Ex-change') for the State." 42 U.S.C. 18031(b)(1). But the Act affords "State flexibility" in the fulfillment of that requirement. 42 U.S.C. 18041. A State may "elect[]" to set up the Exchange for itself. 42 U.S.C. 18041(b). Alternatively, if a State does not elect to create the Exchange itself, or if the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) determines that the State will not have the "required Exchangeopera-tiona l by January 1, 2014," then HHS "shall establish and operate such Exchange within the State." 42 U.S.C. 18041(c)(1).
An Exchange operated by HHS is known as a "[f]ederally-facilitated Exchange." 45 C.F.R. 155.20. Though run by HHS, each federally-facilitated Ex-change is the same state-specific Exchange the State otherwise would have established.
see http://sblog.s3.amazonaws.com/...
You are right in that is is not tacit...is is explicit, the federal exchange is the established [and operated] exchange within a state.

It's unfortunate when it takes a tragedy to expose a system's flaws, but that appears to be what has happened concerning the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
In December 2000, seven inmates escaped from the Connally Unit, a maximum-security prison near Kenedy. They were working at a low-security job in the prison maintenance department. They tricked and then overpowered guards and civilian workers on their way to "freedom."
A few days later, during a botched robbery of a sporting goods store in the Metroplex, Aubrey Hawkins, a police officer from Arlington, got in their way. Hawkins, who was just doing his job, was killed.
The "Texas Seven" made it to Colorado, after driving through Amarillo during a record-setting snowstorm. After 42 days on the run, six were captured near Colorado Springs, Colo., and returned to the Lone Star State. The seventh suspect killed himself in a standoff with police.
Questions lingered. How did these guys escape? Why were they working in low-security jobs?
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice had to come up with the answers, and after a year's study, officials hope they have.
The old system labeled inmates who showed they had adjusted to prison life, which means not incurring any disciplinary action, as "minimum in." That label made them eligible for low-risk job assignments and dormitory housing.
In the new system, which took effect earlier this month, inmates have to serve a minimum of 10 years before they are classified as low-risk.
During the year review, TDCJ officials discovered that an inmate's current offense, prior criminal history and time remaining on sentences were considered during the initial classification process but ignored in later re-evaluations.
If the new policy had been in place 16 months ago, six of the seven inmates who fled the South Texas prison wouldn't have been in low-security jobs in the first place.
It might come as little consolation for Aubrey Hawkins' family and friends, but the TDCJ's new measures seem to be a step in the right direction. g

"Bobby has been a tough competitor. He has meant an awful lot to the
universities he coached and to the game of football overall. He and his
wife, Ann, have dedicated their lives with untold hours to better the
teams and universities they cared so much about. They will be missed by
the coaching profession and college football. Sue and I wish them well."
-- Penn State coach Joe Paterno
"Bobby Bowden has served as our head football coach and inspirational 'friend-raiser' for more than 30 years. He led our football program to unprecedented success and established it among the nation's elite for many years. He set records of achievement on the field that will probably never be equaled. Bobby Bowden contributed in many ways to the overall success and advancement of a young and growing university, and the entire Bowden family is also a major part of this success story.
"I played for Bobby Bowden 45 years ago, when I was a young man, and he was an assistant coach under Bill Peterson. The bond between player and coach is strong enough, but our relationship forged even more powerful bonds as we worked hard for the university's advancement. With me and other presidents, Bobby Bowden helped raise public and private dollars to build some of the most impressive athletics facilities in the nation and to bring additional recognition to Florida State's academic achievements. Millions of Americans could see the good work and academic contributions of our university through the window of national television -- a window that winning football teams provide for their institutions.
"Bobby Bowden, in many ways, became the face of Florida State. It was his sterling personality and character that personified this university. And because his influence was so powerful, we were able to advance far beyond what many of us ever dreamed."
-- Florida State president T.K. Wetherell
"Coach Bowden has done everything you could do. Nobody but Joe [Paterno] could ever come close to it. When we came into existence here, Florida State was everything in college football. They kind of gave us the example of what you shoot for over the long term. He's been great for college football."
-- Southern California coach Pete Carroll
"It was a great privilege to coach for, and be mentored by, Coach Bowden who
many would consider the greatest college coach in the history of the game.
I'm thankful for my relationship with him and the lesson I learned that not
only is winning games important, but also keeping the game in the proper
perspective. I can only imagine how many lives have been impacted by him in
a positive way including my own. Other than my father, he's been the most
influential man in my life."
-- Georgia coach Mark Richt
"The reason I attended FSU is because of Coach Bowden. His legendary leadership, wisdom and faith motivated me throughout my life and football career. Indeed, it's a sad day for all of FSU and the football world. Now, I can only hope the next coach can leave an indelible impression on young men the way Coach did when he sat in my living room."
-- New York Jets running back Leon Washington
"Few people have meant as much to college football as Bobby Bowden. He is a legendary figure in the truest sense of the word and a great ambassador for the game itself. There will be very few that will ever win as many games, but more impressive are his values and the impact he has had on those that have played for him and those that have had the privilege of working with him. Coach Bowden leaves a legacy that will be missed not only at Florida State, but in the Atlantic Coast Conference and all across college football. He is a gentleman and a true sportsman and I consider it an honor to have him as part of the ACC family."
-- ACC commissioner John Swofford
"You'll never see a guy [with the] wins he has, 300-something. He's great for college football. I think him and Joe Pa, enjoy it because you won't see that one again. At one school and that long a career in this day and age, you just won't see it. You just admire a guy that had the stamina and did it the right way. That's the thing you always admire about coach Bowden. He's always done it the right way."
-- Florida coach Urban Meyer
"He and I go way back to 1979 and I can't think of a better friend or competitor. He and I worked together in improving the football situation in the state [of Florida] and I think we were successful in doing just that."
-- Florida Atlantic coach Howard Schnellenberger
"It's a sad day for college football and especially for so many coaches like me who Coach [Bowden] reached out to and had been such a good friend to for so many years. Coach Bowden is a person that I've always looked up to, sought guidance from and have such great respect and admiration for. He definitely gave more to college football, and those of us who love it so much, than he could ever have taken from it."
-- Texas coach Mack Brown
"He put Florida State on the map, and you would have to know what was there football-wise to appreciate what he did. He's a legendary coach and a great guy."
-- Former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr
"Coach Bowden's influence on college football has been nothing short of fantastic. I've always had a great deal of respect for him, and I take tremendous pride with him also being a Birmingham native. ... The most impressive thing about his success is that he did it the right way. My hat goes off to him, and I certainly hope he and Ann can enjoy their retirement together to the fullest."
-- Duke head coach David Cutcliffe
