METROPOLITAN police stations could be closed to help cut the police budget by $150 million.
Police Minister Michael O'Brien said the closure of smaller "shop-front" stations is among measures being discussed to meet the savings target over the next four years.
"There's been a significant decline in patronage at what I call the shop-front, outlier police stations," he said.
"It could well be that the smart thing to do is to wind back on a number of those and get those police officers out on the beat.
>> Where would you find the budget savings for SA Police? Check out the financials of the annual report and tell us in the comments box below.
"Increasingly the public of South Australia are embracing online solutions and SAPOL are increasingly moving to receiving a whole range of reports ... by online lodgement."
Mr O'Brien said country police stations were not being considered for closure "at this stage".
Mr O'Brien said he will explore possible cuts with Police Comissioner Gary Burns over the next three days, but reiterated a State Government commitment not to cut police numbers.
"We will find the maximum savings that we can within SAPOL but they will not be savings that will in any way bring about a reduction in the size of the police force," he said.
"I don't believe at this point in time, from what I have seen, that they will be sufficient to get us to where we want to be so we may have to return to the budget process and do a top up."
It comes as South Australia's police union today meets Commissioner Gary Burns amid grave concerns the number of officers on the beat must be cut to meet huge savings ordered during the next four years.
Mr Burns has been asked to find $150 million of savings from the SA Police budget over the next four years. He will meet police union representatives today after yesterday conceding savings likely would be made through reduced staff costs .
In 2011-12, SA Police spent $616.5 million on employee benefits expenses and $134.5 million on supplies and services.
Check SA Police's financials, starting on page 104 of their 2011-12 annual report, and leave your suggestions for how the budget savings target should be met in the comments box below.
Premier Jay Weatherill and Police Minister Michael O'Brien have ruled out any reduction in police numbers.
But Police Association president Mark Carroll told adelaidenow the union's members had grave concerns about the implications of cuts for frontline officers.
"With budget cuts of this magnitude now expected in the next four years, it will be extremely difficult to meet them without reducing staff numbers," he said.
"The Government has committed to recruiting an additional 313 police by 2016. Imposing massive cuts to the police budget seems at odds with that promise.
"The association is meeting with Commissioner Burns (today) and will formally request that he identify where the savings will be made."
The budget cuts are in addition to a forecast reduction in sworn officers and cadets - down by 71 to 4535 in June 2013 - compared with a year ago.
Victims' Rights Commissioner Michael O'Connell said any cuts to services would be detrimental to victims and the public in general.
"Victims and other members of the public want the police to be seen dealing with crime, enforcing the law and keeping them safe," he said.
"Hopefully, the cut in the police budget does not impede the Commissioner who is committed to making the police visible, responsive and available."
Mr Burns said almost 80 per cent of the police budget was tied to salaries, wages and superannuation.
"To find those savings will be a very difficult exercise for us," he said. "The last thing we want to do is reduce police numbers but it's on the cards that we will actually have to look at our workforce."
The budget will be cut by $19.3 million in 2012-13, $31.8 million in 2013-14, $44.5 million in 2014-15 and $57.1 million in 2015-16.
The cuts will have to be balanced against an enterprise bargaining agreement, brokered in March 2011, allowing for a 17 per cent increase in police base salaries over three years.
Mr Weatherill said the Government could not be criticised about the resources it had given to police. "I can rule out any cut in police numbers. In fact police numbers will grow," he said.
"It's gone from 3700 to 4500 at present and will be 4700 by 2016." Mr O'Brien said the State Government was committed to recruiting 313 additional police officers by 2016.
"We are working with SAPOL to ensure any savings do not impact on frontline services," Mr O'Brien said.
Family First MLC and former police minister Rob Brokenshire said savings targets would likely be met by delaying recruitment, rather than sacking officers.
"I cannot see how, with cuts of that magnitude, that there will not be a significant impact on frontline operation police services," he said.
"Above replacement of those retiring, there will be no recruitment in the next two years. Worse than that could be a net depletion of police numbers due to the budget cuts being so dramatic that they simply can't replace those retiring."
Mr O'Connell said he would be disappointed if the budget cuts prevented the Commissioner from establishing a Police Victims Unit, which he had previously flagged.
Budget and Finance Committee chairman Rob Lucas said police would need to look at both officer and staff numbers to meet the budget cuts.
"For the first time today a police commissioner has confirmed a reduction in total police numbers," he said.

Sean Lee set for surgery Thursday; Cowboys keeping LB on roster for now
Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee is expected to have surgery Thursday to repair the torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, head coach Jason Garrett said Tuesday.
Lee's operation will be performed by the team's medical staff. The fifth-year veteran suffered the injury during the Cowboys' first OTA.
Lee, for now, remains on the roster and Dallas has no immediate plans to change his status, an indication that the Cowboys have not ruled out the possibility of the linebacker returning before the end of the upcoming season. If Lee is assigned to injured reserve, he would not be eligible to play in any games in 2014. If he is placed on the physically unable to perform list, he wouldn't be allowed to return to practice until Week 7. Recovery from ACL surgery usually takes six to nine months.
'We don't have to make that decision right now," head coach Jason Garrett said. "I think we want to go in there and do the surgery, get it done right, get him well and make those kinds of decisions. Typically doctors will give you a timetable and you see what's reasonable and you make your best roster move."

Reading about the awful things that are happening in Aleppo this week has really brought home the injustice of it all. How innocent people are caught up in this horrible mess, their lives changed, or lost, forever.
I am reminded of this beautiful, heartbreaking poem by our friend, Mohamed…
No, no, no to injustice. No.
Homes burned
Mosques destroyed
Schools teared down
Men killed
Women widowed
Children orphaned
The country's fortune stolen
The young displaced
On the sea they rode
Some drowned
Some were saved
In Europe they became refugees
Truthfully, they are rejected
Some accepted
Some returned by land
In the airport they landed
Sadly, they were imprisoned
Until now, they haven't been released
And with beatings they suffer
With sticks they are lashed
No, no, no to injustice. No.
Thank you to our wonderful friend, artist Hannah Rose Thomas for this moving painting of Mohamed. The words of his poem are included in the background.

It was all Nate West\'s fault. . . He comes up with the idea and then bows out, leaving everyone else to get on with it. But, three years on, we\'re still here, and each release gets 20-40% better than the previous (inside joke). So, this is the third Exile Collection; a fascinating compilation of 17 tracks by talented bands and individual musicians, most of whom have never physically met, all produced to a world class standard in project studios in USA, Canada, Germany, UK, and Singapore. And, indeed, it is truly world class. Many of the tracks feature online collaborations that stretch across thousands of miles. They are a testament to the way music and the Internet can connect diverse people and show what can happen when we work together. We think you\'ll like it. No excuses!

kaspersky security suspect
Last week, during a routine browsing session (no dubious visits involved) I suddenly got a banner telling me that 3 network connections were active and would close in 10 seconds (?). Immediately after, a red Kaspersky (complete internet security package 2013) banner appeared, telling me Kaspersky was disabled, then a Windows banner telling me there was no internet security active. Then Kaspersky came up and indicated its databases (updated automatically on boot-up) were corrupted and must be updated.
By then I had unplugged the LAN connector but I plugged it back in and updated the Kaspersky databases and after that everything went back to normal. However, a couple of days later it all happened again in exactly the same fashion; so now I have no confidence in Kaspersky. Any input gratefully received please.

I'll be poking around a little here but some things to think on. I also use KIS 2013 with same OS Kaspersky is having some issues of late with auto scans and some reported update lockups also. It seems these are related to current patch "f" and subsequent updates after it's implementation.
If you can see update failures in your logs:
Something to try might be a reinstall of your KIS 2013 product (be sure to image first!! just incase). Be sure to do this the recommended way, and this would be:
Disconnect from the internet> then quit KIS (right click red tray icon chose "exit")> right click start menu entry for removing KIS and run as admin, check only to save activation data (if you get a failure cancel and then retry) reboot when asked> clear your temp folders, reinstall with the latest previously saved file for your region and product> update data bases and reboot
Patch "g" is due out soon and will address issues related to scan failure, shut down hangs, and a few other annoying quirks
It seems like the year of challenges for the security software makers, if you read the forums for the big three they are all having a time. Save MSE

Thank-you Bill. I must confess to being a good way behind the experience needed to implement your suggestions, so I feel I aught to leave things alone until I know better. I've not had a similar occurrence to the two that inspired this thread so maybe they have done something.
I did contact KAS regarding the slowing-up of my shutdown with the advent of System Watcher in Kis 13 and decided to disable it for the present. They told me they were working on it but couldn't predict a resolution.Thanks again for your studied attentions, it is much appreciated. Keith.
BTW. My shut-down went from 7 seconds to 27 seconds.
|My System Specs
|24 Mar 2013
You are very welcome, the shut down times are to be addressed with patch "g" it is in beta testing now and due out soon. This should allow system watcher to be re-enabled and the program should work better (or as intended).
If I can be of more detailed assistance let me know, seems like your current plan is sound. I would check when you think of it to be sure you are updating so you don't get another surprise, you can do this easily by opening Kaspersky and viewing the status of "Databases" on the main screen.
All the best -- Bill

Chapter 1:
It was on a hot but cloudy, dark day that Samantha Forester and Jake Ely were at the Phantom's Secret Valley.
Ever since Jake had saved Sam from the avalanche last winter and had found out about the secret valley they always came here to escape reality. Only they knew about the valley and they wanted to keep it that way.
Now it was summer and they decided to visit the Phantom and get away from chores and horse training. This was Jake's last summer before he went to college in fall and they wanted to enjoy it.
Sam sat down on a rock beside the waterfall, staring off into space with Jake on the opposite side mirroring her.
The Phantom snorted a few yards away, picking his head up from grazing to stare at the two teenagers.
Sam's mind was whirling with thoughts about her and Jake's friendship and what would happen when he finally left. She couldn't bear thinking about but she knew she better. She wondered if Jake would forget she existed when he met all those college girls. Just the thought of those girls made her blood boil. She secretly had been pinning away for Jake hoping that just maybe he'd see that she liked him more than a friend. He hadn't shown that he liked her yet so he probably never would.
She sighed and looked over to the waterfall. The water seemed to be covering a tunnel of some sort in the mountain.
"I've always wondered what's behind that waterfall." Sam's hand slapped over her mouth as she realized she thought this out loud.
"What?" Jake quickly raised his head from staring at the ground.
"Uh," Sam started, wishing she hadn't uttered a sound.
"Spit it out," Jake crossed his arms and stared directly into her eyes. His patience looked long today.
Sam gave him a slight glare of annoyance at his rudeness. "Have you ever wondered about that tunnel?"
Jake looked at her as if she were crazy. "There ain't no tunnel, Brat."
"Yes there is," Sam pointed toward the waterfall before standing up.
"Sam?" Jake said in a warning voice. He had a feeling she was about to get deep into some type of trouble as always.
"Let's go check it out! Oh please, don't you want to see what's on the other end?" Sam said, feeling excitement surge through her. She needed something to pass the time and forget about things with Jake.
Jake stood up and shifted his feet uncomfortably. He hated her crazy schemes and ideas though when she came up with one it always involved Jake because he would never let her do it alone; afraid she would get hurt or get in some major trouble.
"That's the craziest question I think I've ever been asked," Jake sighed, raising a black eyebrow.
Sam smacked him on the arm, "Oh bother I asked!" she got up to inspect behind the falls.
"Brat?" Jake snapped when she was about to go under the water to inspect the supposed tunnel. He had followed her and was hovering close just in case he needed to grab her if there was something dangerous in there.
"What Jake?" Sam snapped back.
He was like an annoying older brother—the almighty, overly protective Jacob Ely who got offensive if you asked him anything about his Shoshone Indian heritage.
"It's about to rain soon. We should head on home," Jake tried to talk her out of it. Any kind of excuse he could think of.
Sam looked up at the grayish and huffed, ignoring him she just turned back to go under the waterfall just as the Phantom raced by her going under the waterfall, nickering.
His nickering turned into an echo. Ultimately proving that was indeed a tunnel.
Sam shrieked in surprise, falling into the creek with a splash.
Jake sighed and leaned over to help his best friend up. He held back a chuckle at her drowned rat appearance.
"Jake!" Sam shrieked again as she almost slipped from the slimy pebbles lying in the water.
"What now, brat?" Jake lifted her up from the water and sat her on the ground swiftly, catching Sam by another surprise. Jake almost checked her for head injuries but he caught himself, knowing Sam would get mad. She was acting loony.
"There is a tunnel!" Sam said, sounding like a six year old instead of a sixteen year old.
Jake groaned as Sam pulled him under the falls. He finally gave in and let her lead him in.
She was right. There was a tunnel—a black tunnel at that. Jake did not like it one bit. Cougars, bears, and coyotes! Oh my!
Halfway through the tunnel Jake pulled Sam to a stop, "Sam, I ain't going no further. We're going back now," Jake said. He wanted to scoop Sam up in his arms and flee this cavernous creepy tunnel that could be holding anything. It was pitch black at that.
"No, Jake. Let's see what's at the end of the tunnel first then we can go home," Sam protested, knowing she would win. The dark didn't seem to scare her. It only made her want to go on further.
"Why do I even try?' Jake muttered, mostly to his self. She always seemed to get her way no matter what with him. She did something to him. Seeing that he wasn't going to win this one he decided at least he would hold her hand to make sure they weren't separated.
They went on traveling through the tunnel a few more yards. There seemed to be no end to this. Suddenly a forceful wind started to blow through the tunnel even though it was logically impossible blowing from the waterfall.
"Jake, what's going on?" Sam asked, worried. She gripped his hand tighter. She was becoming very fearful now. She walked a little closer to Jake.
"I don't know," Jake said as they stopped walking. His long hair whipped her in his face as the leather thong was ripped from it by the wind's force. He put his arms around her protectively as the wind continued to blow angrily. It seemed to be trying to push them forward.
Maybe there is a tornado—but that wouldn't make any since. Sam thought as the wind pushed her right into Jake nearly knocking both over.
Sam clutched onto Jake as the wind only got stronger, "Oh Jake, I'm scared," was the last thing she said before the wind blew them through the tunnel.
Jake hadn't time to answer back and felt his grip on Sam becoming looser much to his horror.
Sam screamed as the wind ripped her from Jake's arms.
Suddenly something hit her head sharply and she knew no more except Jake yelling her name.
Sam opened her eyes to brightness. It was so bright she couldn't tell about anything but light blinding her senses, but she knew of only one thing. She lying on top of someone and that someone happened to be Jake. In the most awkward position imaginable with her head in the crook his neck.
She lay there unmoving until her eyes focused to the light. She lifted her head to dizzily see huge trees swimming before her eyes. The most brilliant green she had ever seen. On some trees there were a few golden leaves. Overall they were in a beautiful forest and it wasn't Darton, Nevada.
At that moment Jake woke fully and jerked up right when he realized what type of position he and Sam were in.
Sam whimpered as his actions made her roll hard onto the ground. Her head was hurting something fierce.
Jake who now sat, rubbed his head, winced. He had a nasty bruise on his temple. He immediately was to her side though at her sound of pain. He took her in his arms and frowned as he saw her own head.
Instead of being concerned about being lost as he too realized they weren't in Darton, Jake asked, "How's your head?" he indicated, touching his forehead.
Of all things! He worried about her head? Typical Jake of coarse once again. Ever since her accident and comma.
Sam momentarily touched her own forehead and realized she had a gash but not a real bad one, "Ow," Sam said, dully. And it did hurt.
Jake took Sam's face between his hands and moved her head around, examining the wound.
"Jake, I'm fine, really, but we really are lost," Sam tried to pull his hands from her face. She was too worried about how they were going to get back to even care if her head was bleeding or not.
Not replying, he ripped a piece of his shirt off and tied it around her head. After that he replied, "Alright, let's find our way back home now," he got up swiftly as he pulled her up with him, and started to look around, holding onto his head a minute.
Sam suddenly realized the Phantom was in the forest somewhere lost. He would not be able to make his way back.
"Jake, we have to find the Phantom first," She took his arm, pulling him the opposite direction to further in the forest.
They traveled a ways until the forest begin to thin out until they were on the edge of a field of wild flowers. Sam and Jake stared in awe at the beautiful place.
Suddenly they heard a pitter-patter of hoofs and human feet. It was a very odd sound.
Sam and Jake snapped their heads toward the noise in alarm. What in the world was it?
Jake hoped it was the Phantom but just in case he put his arm around Sam and pulled her closer on alert.
Then came out a beautiful young woman about Jake's age in arm with a strange creature with a red scarf. They were walking with their arms linked. The looks they were exchanging gave Sam and Jake the impression they had a strong relationship of some sort.
The creature though Sam and Jake did not know this was Tumnus the faun and the girl was Queen Lucy.
They gave a startled cry when they saw Sam and Jake. The girl stared at them with wide eyes before shrinking behind the creature and holding onto his arm.
The creature with a man's upper body and lower goat's body wrapped his arms around the young woman, protectively. "Telmarines!" he yelled, seeing Jake's dark skin and hair.
Sam and Jake drew back in confusion. Telmarine? What was that? Some type of new submarine? No wait there wasn't an ocean anywhere in sight.
"A what?" Jake arched an eyebrow, still holding onto Sam who was practically mirroring the girl's position only holding onto Jake tighter than ever.
"What's a Telmarine, sir?" Sam asked, trying to be brave. She tried to let go of Jake and move to the side but Jake's grip turned steely and refused to lessen. She wanted to roll her eyes at Jake's worrisome ways.
The young woman stepped up from behind the creature, "Tumnus, they're not Telmarines…In fact—I-," She stopped, staring at them, strangely.
"What's the matter, Lucy?" the creature whose name was Tumnus asked, "Are they enemies, Dear Lucy?" Tumnus asked, protectively. He wanted to yank her back but knew better
Jake could tell Tumnus was just as protective of Lucy as he was of Sam. This made him want to smile.
Jake was in love with Sam even though he would never tell her or admit it and probably never would tell her.
"I don't think they are Telmarines," said Lucy with a strange wondering tone.
"Lucy? Are you alright?" Tumnus stepped closer to his Queen as she trembled starting to sway a little in shock.
"Where are you from?" Lucy asked as Tumnus steadied her.
"Nevada? United States?" Jake said. He stared untrustingly at the faun before his eyes. It was dawning on him that they weren't even in their own world.
Lucy's legs buckled in shock.
"Lucy!" Tumnus cried and quickly caught her. She stared up at the faun in wonder. "Oh Tumnus, they're from my world. Aslan must have sent them to us!' she cried out as he set her back upon her shaky feet.
"Aslan?" Sam looked mystified. She was aware Jake's grip had lessened and took that moment to dislodge herself.
"Samantha!" Jake nearly had a heart attack as Sam walked nearer Tumnus and Lucy.
"He must ha
ve sent the two of you to help save us from the Zachavians," Lucy said with a smile of hope.
Review please and no flaming unless you want to be constructive. Save your flames for Sam and Jake's campfires. :p

Wine Review: This light straw colored Chardonnay from Grgich Hills is very good. It opens with a mild creme brulee bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and juicy. The flavor profile is a tasty lemon with notes of light vanilla oak and pineapple. I also detected a hint of lime as well. The finish is dry and its acidity and flavors are nicely prolonged. This Chardonnay is very food friendly. Our mini-tasting group thought this would pair nicely with grilled swordfish with a mango salsa. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Miljenko "Mike" Grgich has been called "The King of Chardonnay" since the winery began in 1977, and you can taste why in this classically-styled wine. We did not allow the Chardonnay to undergo malolactic fermentation, preserving its natural acidity. The wine displays ripe peach, mango and tropical flavors, with a note of minerality. Enjoy with fresh seafood, roasted chicken, grilled pork, and creamy cheeses.
Organic status: organic
Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Grgich Hills 2013 Chardonnay.

The Janus Week
Monday night's class was taught by a grim Latvian man who, as I described earlier, talked so fast that I thought I was at a cattle auction back in Alberta. Some people, especially younger women, thought he was great. Others, such as Bettina and I, thought he was arrogant.
Tuesday night's lecture: Dom, whose name must be getting close to "Doom" by now, had to tell us all that there'll be no yearbook for this year's TT. Reason? The expense. Poor Dom, always having to be the cold spoon in the souffle.
Thursday I also found out that one of my favourite volunteers, a man whose face always made me feel peaceful, was fired for having a relationship with one of the trainees. This breaks the "no F*cky-f*cky" rule (the other rules include "No drinky-drinky" and "No smoky-smoky"). The trainee was not asked to leave. At first it was another "Oh no, you're kidding me" moment. Later more details surfaced that brought up the question as to whether the volunteer had wanted to leave, and sought a reason. I don't know the real reason, but I do know that I'm sad he's gone -- and I do not resent the trainee involved, which apparently puts me in the minority. I don't know both sides of the story, but I'm sad it's a story at all, you know?
And then, when the oddly dark week seemed like it couldn't get any darker, Himself went off on a fairly sexist tangent in Friday morning's class that led to several people shouting at him in anger during the class, and one student confronting him afterwards. You could almost see the fury clouds gathering over the resort, people were that upset. As for me, well . . . I'm pretty used to Himself's cultural and gender-specific biases by now, so I repeated the wisdom of the old and hale psychiatrist: Ach, who listens? But I was disturbed to hear that the student who confronted Himself was told to get out of the training camp there and then -- however, she was in class today (Saturday), so I'm hopeful that she'll be able to stay. But what anger and grief and cruelty in the heart of yogaland! I couldn't get over what a bitter week it had become.
And then . . . Friday afternoon, the redemption. Three yogis from Victoria are currently in town: Ida, Niecia and Veronika. I had the chance to give Niecia and Veronika a ride to Whole Foods, and they cheerfully coached me through the dialogue for Camel Posture. Next, in posture clinic, who shows up but Niecia! Yay! And it was a delight from beginning to end. I was asked to leave the room before delivering dialogue, and in my absence the evaluators Jo, Noella and Niecia got everyone, not just the usual three demonstrators, but everyone in the room to follow my instructions. I came striding into the room and -- WHOA! -- and suddenly I couldn't stop grinning. I had so much fun delivering the dialogue to the crowd, some of whom had been coached to misbehave, that at the end I nearly danced a jig. Niecia's and Veronika's coaching really paid off. In fact, I couldn't stop chuckling throughout the rest of the clinic, especially when Peter F. and I were asked to misbehave during a fellow student, Mark's, dialogue. Peter got me giggling so hard I nearly had to leave the room.
In this happy and relieved mood I went to the yoga bubble for evening class, and -- wow! No way! Ida was teaching! Ida's a world silver medallist in yoga, and is one of the most energizing yoginis out there. I realized, as she began, that I really missed her classes -- and the other yogis from home. Suddenly the week of darkness and rage began to beam with laughter and comfort. I remembered why this is such an incredible, soul-satisfying experience. I don't say that the awful parts of the week were worth it, but I do know that even a yoga-filled life is going to have its bad moments.
So Week Seven is nearly gone, which means only two weeks remain. I get a little choked when I think of saying goodbye to my new and very dear friends. So I don't think I will say goodbye to them, just give them a heads up to expect me on their doorsteps before too long. Because if they can put up with a week this this, let alone a friend like me, you know they're amazing.

How have I only NOW found your blog? I've just read a few posts but I love your raw, sarcastic wit.ReplyDelete
Found ya through a mention by Josie/Nameste, by the way. I'm a San Diegan non-trainee that has been following the training madness with more than a hint of curiosity. Peace out--sounds like you're experiencing quite a lot right now.
Heya, Yolk E: Training here is unlike any other experience in my life. At this stage (start of the 8th week), all feelings are magnified, i.e., you feel really GREAT or absolutely HORRIBLE. I'm glad you like the blog -- and if you ever go to training (which I absolutely recommend), I hope you write one, too, so I can read yours. Love your name, "Yolk E," too! JaneReplyDelete
Yolk E and I were in class on Friday night with Ida, and I thought it was so cool when she gave you a correction!ReplyDelete
Also, I thought of you as class started. Yolk E and I and her friend were set up in the back row, and who was in front of us in blue shorts but... that's right, Bel Carpenter! I doubt I'd have known it was him, except for the photo you had on here. (Well, and his mat said "Bel." )
So glad that you're soaking in the "incredible, soul-satisfying experience." :)

The latest plan for getting America's budget affairs in order involves cracking down on foreign tax havens and tax shelters. No doubt it will have mass appeal, but it will backfire, and badly, says Investor's Business Daily (IBD).
The White House said Monday it wants to "detect and pursue" tax evaders, while closing tax loopholes and shutting off overseas tax shelters. And to police it all, it wants to hire another 800 new IRS agents.
Under this tax plan:
- Companies would no longer be able to write off some expenses in the United States on profits they make overseas.
- Nor would they be able to reinvest offshore earnings overseas -- a practice which, some claim, totals $700 billion or more in earnings kept abroad.
The idea behind all this is to keep companies from creating jobs in other countries, and to create more here. But it's a bad idea, from start to finish, says IBD:
- Most of the jobs U.S. companies create overseas are not highly skilled jobs.
- Yet, the profits our firms make overseas help us to maintain the managerial and skilled positions here in the United States.
Do we want to drive those investments completely overseas, asks IBD? And do we really want highly trained American workers to compete with hundreds of millions of unskilled, uneducated laborers in India, China and elsewhere? It's a recipe for low wages and bad jobs here in the United States.

When referring to readers' real-life success stories, we speak in terms of dress sizes only. We have noticed that many of you have been wondering why LighterLife does not talk of specific weight loss. Well here is your answer…
It's because we aren't allowed to tell you how much weight someone has lost in a specific amount of time. And if a person has lost more than 2lbs a week, we're not allowed to tell you that either.
Why not?
In the UK the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has the job of making sure that all advertising and marketing is legal, honest and truthful and complies with the relevant advertising codes. No one wants advertising that's misleading or dishonest, tricking us into buying things that don't do what they claim they will.
But it's a bit more frustrating when it stops brands with really good products telling you just what they could do for you – like LighterLife not being able to tell you how much weight you could expect to lose. It's a bit like saying to a train company that they're not allowed to tell a customer what time their trains will arrive. Ridiculous!
So we aren't allowed to tell you how fast others who have been on LighterLife have lost weight – even though we have tens of thousands of people who have lost weight with us, and even though this information is published at scientific conferences worldwide. All we are allowed to say is how many dress sizes (or waist measurements for men) someone has dropped. By the way, did you know you drop a dress size when you have lost between 10lbs and a stone – so you can work out how fast you might lose weight for yourself.
None the less, there's absolutely nothing to stop you telling all your friends exactly how much weight you've lost and how quickly you've lost it thanks to LighterLife.

Transitions may excite you or fill you with dread. Whatever end of the spectrum you fall on, important pieces like changing jobs, making new friends, figuring out daily rhythms need to be sorted. Author and poet Sarah Wells recently went through all three of these shifts and shares her story in navigating these transitions.
This Part 2 of a four part series on Difficulties of Transitions. Access the rest of the series here:
Changing Directions | Church Hunting | Life Together | Bringing the Word
I hate trying to find a church.
The last time we moved, Brandon and I fell by mercy into a community of believers that met our deep need for friendship and community. We only visited one other church in the land-of-a-thousand churches before we found 5 Stones Community Church.
5 Stones is filled with people who praise Jesus for his extravagant grace, make no claims of perfection but aspire to become the truest versions of themselves, and drape other people in that same outpouring of mercy and forgiveness. For realz, I know that was a lot of church-y talk and all, but I'm serious. Like all churches that exist here on earth, it has its battles and bruises, its history and its weaknesses. It's made of a bunch of broken people covered by God's grace, so that's to be expected.
But at 5 Stones, we found a community of believers who did not hide themselves behind some antiseptic mask painted in Thomas Kinkade cottages with a two-thumbs-up smiling Jesus standing in front. Our friends love Jesus and beer. Our friends love Jesus and tattoos. Our friends love Jesus and young adult fiction. Our friends love Jesus and people who don't look like them. Our friends and fellow Christ-followers at 5 Stones are themselves, exactly who God made them to be.
I loved our church community because it is one of the few places we've found in the broader Church world where it was okay to be fully us. Wildly us. Church wasn't just the place we'd go to get our morals. It was the place we went when we had a miscarriage, and the church community fed us, with worship, with tears and hugs, and with food. It was the place we went to celebrate football victories and job victories and birth victories and donation victories and food bank victories. It was the place we went with a stranger in need and the church opened its arms, its homes, its bank account. It was the place we went with our hardest hurts and toughest temptations, and instead of condemnation we found mercy. Grace. Forgiveness. The muscle and tendons of love.
It took a while to establish those relationships, to build that trust, to put aside any awkwardness or stumblings of the church and love her anyway, love her because she pursued excellence but walked in grace. The "place" wasn't Sunday morning church—church meant more than the hour of worship together. It was the community of people who came on Sunday but also met us for barbecues and music on Tuesdays or coffee and prayer on Fridays or softball and drinks and wings on Wednesdays.
Sunday, for me, was frosting, and I'm not a huge fan of frosting. I really like cake, though, and that's what the rest of the week was about.
We have relocated recently, to a new town too far away from that community of believers. There is a cake shortage in my life. Still, I'm afraid to go back out there: I don't want to eat only frosting. The wilderness of churches is trying so hard to convince me to worship with them. We've done the awkward handshake, meet-and-greet, here-is-a-coffee-mug-and-a-pen-please-come-again Sunday circuit of forced smiles and glee club enthusiasm. We've blended among the anonymous masses of the mega churches, slipping in for worship and out after the message, sipping our coffees and waving across the vestibule at a somewhat familiar face. We've settled at the table of the local diner after the latest pew warming and debriefed what we just witnessed.
This stuff takes work. It takes time. I'm not sure if I'm ready to date more congregations yet.
The church, she's all dolled up in what strikes her as beautiful. Some churches put on icons and incense. Some wave flags and dance. Some sit and stand and kneel and sit and stand and kneel and stand. Some do the white-Midwestern-step-and-clap.
As the one holy and gigantic body of Christ, we are all called to gather together to praise the Lord, to hear the Word of God, to witness a small glimpse of his grace and mercy, to be reminded of his glory so it might reflect and shine on us and through us the rest of the week, to come together with other believers in freedom and celebrate.
The God of the Universe came here and walked around with us and showed us what it means to love, showed us how to walk like him. This is grace we're talking about, people! We should be filled with joy! We should be filled with praise! That's Sunday morning. Whatever bruises or binges or addictions or perfections that haunt me and the rest of the church all week are met by God's grace and mercy, for these few minutes when we stand in the presence of holiness, and praise and praise and praise.
Isn't that what church should be? Wherever we choose to worship—in the sanctuary built by men or in the sanctuary of the woods, at the altar by a cross or sitting on a bench.
Church, for me, right now, takes place in my kitchen on Sunday mornings when my family is waiting for the pancakes to finish cooking. Sometimes there is music and we sing. It is not fancy. We are not large. I don't know that it will sustain us forever—I love to worship with other believers and to be led into the Spirit's presence—but for now, my community is here in this kitchen. Without frosting.

Decisions by SMEs regarding knowledge development are made at a strategic level [Haas-Edersheim, 2007]. Related to knowledge management are approaches to "measure" knowledge, where literature distinguishes between qualitative and quantitative methods of valuating intellectual capital. Although there is a quite range of
 such methods to build an intellectual capital reporting system, none of them is really widely recognized. This work presents a method enabling assessing the effectiveness of investing in human resources, taking into consideration existing methods. The method presented is focusing on SMEs (taking into consideration their importance for, especially, regional development). It consists of four parts: an SME reference model, an indicator matrix to assess investments into knowledge, innovation indicators, and the GMDH algorithm for
 decision making. The method presented is exemplified by a case study including 10 companies.

Process and Requirements for Certification
The requirements for certification:
-Complete the 12 Days of training to the satisfaction of your clinical instructor
At three months, the participants should write a one or two page typed report of their experiences both in their personal lives and in their clinical practice and submit it to their Clinical Instructor. This report can be written before the evaluative tape is passed. It is important that this report is not a glowing report of how wonderful everything is. It is to be a report of your growing edge and what you are personally and professionally working on to become a better clinician.
At six months , the participant should write a second one or two page typed report of their development both in their personal lives and in their clinical practice and submit it to their Clinical Instructor.
These two reports should be about the trainee's growth edge both personally and professionally to encourage the theory and practice of Imago Therapy to become more integrated in the trainee's life and practice.
Assisting at a workshop:
After completion of the 12 Days of training the participant should serve as a support therapist in a twenty hour "Getting the Love You Want Couples Workshop: conducted by a Certified Workshop Presenter®. The trainee must meet with the presenter for one hour after the workshop for feedback and receive a positive evaluation from the presenter, which must then be submitted directly to the Professional Training Coordinator with a copy sent to the course instructor.
*After completing the requirements of the 12 Days of training and the 6 month supervision consultation to the satisfaction of your clinical instructor for 6 months you may apply for Certification.

Fenrus Linux: A Distro For Performance, Developers
Fenrus Linux is a new Linux distribution being led by a well known Intel Linux developer. Goals of Fenrus Linux include focusing upon an optimal developer experience rather than world domination and also maximizing the performance and power management of the open-source operating system.
Fenrus Linux is largely the work of Arjan van de Ven, a well known Linux developer from the Netherlands who is employed by Intel and its Open-Source Technology Center. Arjan has made -- and continues to make -- many upstream Linux contributions while Fenrus Linux is a new pet project.
Fenrus Linux is self-described as being "a little bit unconventional" and acknowledges its developer-focus with "it's fun to tinker with operating systems and the technologies."

text: So I will be switching to a Droid on Verizon in the near future but I have some concerns. I currently have a BB Tour 9630 and am done with BB uninnovative style. I want to ask some questions first: Is Microsoft Exchange email and Calendar supported on current Droid's or only with Froyo? If only with Froyo can someone let me know their experience with it on Froyo (Nexus One owner)? I do love BBM is there a replacement app for this? I have heard Google Talk and such but is there a great messenger app? Can some people respond with just a brief explanation of why Android is so great. I hear great things from Verizon and there is a lot of support, I just was wondering specific things that people love. Maybe current Verizon customers who switched from a BB would be helpful? Thanks and btw I am new to the forums - my 1st post!

001. at capegazette.villagesoup.com, we're told in "Naturopath Kim Furtado to Offer Spiritual Well-Being Retreat April 30" (2016-04-10)(2016 archived):
"Kim Furtado, ND, will share her 21 years of naturopathic wisdom [...] at a one-day retreat [...]":
ah, the religious wordage...
"a supportive, intimate group setting with tranquil surroundings will facilitate meaningful personal enrichment. Participants will explore how biochemistry can stall or propel [...]":
ah, this doesn't sound very spiritual. This sounds MUNDANE.
"the cost is $95 for the retreat and nutritious lunch [...] for more information and to register in advance, go to www.drkimfurtado.com [...]";
of course, if you were a cynic, you might say: this ND can say ANYTHING and since that anything is unknowable -- the spiritual, whatever that is -- her certainty is a ruse. "Naturopathic wisdom", I do not defer. Is naturopathy "science-based natural medicine" or religiosity/supernaturalism? It can't be both.

I live in the gulf & here since lab results take 5 days (only govenment labs are authorised to do these test here), doctors are suggesting to start taking tamiflu when they see any doubtful symtons or when they know that the patient has been in the surrounding of another similar (H1N1) patient. Since spread is fast in schools, how safe is it to give to children, without wating for test. Which is worse a) waiting for results for 5 days? or b) taking tamiflu when you probably wouldn't have needed it in the first place?
Since test results are delayed! tamiflu is precribed by mere visible symptoms. How safe is that?

It is best for you to take Tamiflu. It is fine to give Tamiflu to children as well (provided it was prescribed for them).
Flu symptoms can be quite debilitating so it is better to start taking Tamiflu as soon as possible. You may suffer for the five days, while you are waiting for the results.

'The Producers': Kitsch as Kitsch Can
Saturday, December 24, 2005
The question re: "The Producers" would not be "Is it any good?" but "How good is it?" It's got to be good! How could it not be good? Or even great. It's "The Producers," after all.
The original, from 1968, may be the funniest movie ever made. It combined brilliance of many different kinds -- of premise, of performance (Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder), of audacity ("Springtime for Hitler"), of sentimentality (for old Broadway, which New Yorker Mel Brooks clearly loved), of satire, of outrageousness. It entered film history at the cult level and launched Brooks on one of the most inspiring careers in comedy.
Then, years later, along came "The Producers" to Broadway, now musicalized, where in 2001 it set a record by winning 12 Tonys, including best musical, best book (Brooks and Thomas Meehan), best actor (Nathan Lane), best featured actor and actress (Gary Beach and Cady Huffman), and best choreographer and director (Susan Stroman).
So how good is the movie of the musical of the movie? The answer is: It's pretty good.
It's too long to be great and it's too square to be great and it's too loud to be great and it finds homosexual effeminacy too funny to ever be called great, but I can't imagine anyone coming out sadder than they went in, other than the few remaining Nazis who will remember, after all, that the Fhrer was a great dancer and feel that aspect of his personality has been slighted.
An ideal world -- that is, a world run by me in contravention to all laws of physics and biology -- would mandate an ideal "Producers" starring Nathan Lane and Gene Wilder. Alas, back here in the real world, Stroman's film stars her legit boards boys Lane and Matthew Broderick, Mostel having gone on to that great delicatessen in the sky and Wilder pretty much retired. It's not that Broderick is bad, or even disappointing; he's something far worse -- he's not Gene Wilder. He doesn't have Wilder's God-given gift for suggesting a hysteria more intense than a seizure, which it resembles and which twists his rhythms into giddy pulse-crazed gibberish sited on the outer reaches of human irrationality. He goes hysterical the way bullets go ballistic -- at hyper speed and damn the consequences -- then returns in a flash, crisis solved, to sweet-natured, blue-eyed docility. Broderick is just Matthew Broderick: hardworking, decent, possibly charisma-challenged. When he goes hysterical, it's just an actor doing a fair hysteria, not a man touched by the deity speaking in tongues.
But I know some of you are Zero's people. Zero had the most astonishing comb-over in captivity, and that dainty fat-guy fussiness. He seemed to possess a size 54 waist while wearing size 5 shoes, and was astonishingly light on his feet, like a 600-pound Tinker Bell. His eyes narrowed into psychotic greed with extreme passion and his fat fingers seemed hungry to rip more more more flesh off the carcass. It was great, I give you that, and it's just taste that you favor Zero and I favor Nathan. The case for Lane rests on those really cool aigu-et-grave- accent eyebrows going for him, which means that everything he says is deeply insincere. I treasure that in a man. He makes lies sound like lies and the truth sound like even worse lies. He's a belter, too. He seems to be channeling Ethel Merman, and when he power-blasts a number you can practically feel the spit-spray through the screen.
As those of you not from Mars or Alpha Centauri or Middle Earth already know, the premise of "The Producers" is brilliant in its simplicity: A longtime producer, Max Bialystock (Lane), and a naive accountant, Leo Bloom (Broderick), realize that it's possible to make more money on a flop than on a hit, by oversubscribing investments. Thus they work crazily to put on the worst show in Broadway history, coming up with a paean to the Third Reich called "Springtime for Hitler," complete with a singing Hitler and kitsch moments including a chorus line that mutates into a swastika-formation a la an Obergruppenfuhrer-SS Busby Berkeley, or Leni Riefenstahl on animal tranquilizers. Of course they fail completely by succeeding wildly. A hit, a hit, a palpable hit!
Stroman's film version is extremely enjoyable if somewhat square in its presentation. Brooks remains the producer, and therefore, one suspects, in power to preserve his original. In any event, Stroman doesn't try to break new ground on the eternal dilemma of how to blow out a contained stage show for the more penetrative and flexible medium of film: Rather than find a new place to stage it, she settles for the unexceptional -- a reasonably naturalistic world with heavy stylizations that subtly transforms itself to even more stylized stage space for the musical numbers.
She's encouraged Lane and Broderick to stay stage-big; there's no attempt to dial anything down toward the more intimate brand of naturalism that is the house style of commercial cinema. So they blast away (thus the loudness). I think the camera gets too close, sometimes, and is too honest. It reveals that Lane is a born hoofer (different from being a great dancer) and that his natural element is the stage; he moves with gusto and relish and seems always as happy as a you-know-what in you-know-what. Broderick is not a born hoofer; he has learned by practice, practice, practice and somehow the camera senses his tentativeness when he dances, as if he's squinching up his eyes in concentration, making certain that each step is exactly right and that he is hitting his marks perfectly. "Thinking is the enemy of perfection," said Conrad -- who would have made a terrific movie reviewer.
None of the numbers struck me as fabulous, but all are completely entertaining: The famous "Along Came Bialystock" puts a chorus line of old ladies with walkers onstage doing spins and whirls to great comic delight. And "I'm So Unhappy," when Broderick's Leo returns to his accounting firm, may touch the heart of anyone who's spent way too much time in the office. "Springtime for Hitler," the signature number of the show, is more elaborate here than in the original; it's still mind-boggling.
You can feel Brooks making corrections as he goes along. The least successful character in the long-ago original was Dick Shawn's hippy-dippy beatnik-musical Hitler. Now he's been replaced, first by Will Ferrell -- who ends up onstage as an expansion of his role as Franz Liebkind, the insane author of the book -- and then by Gary Beach, playing here as he did onstage the play's gigantically gay director, Roger De Bris. Ulla, the sexy Swedish receptionist hired by Max, has been blown up to give the piece some sexual tension (with Leo) and a genuine star of stature is brought in to play the role: Uma Thurman. Uma, Matthew. Matthew, Uma. Anyhow, she's very good, but she's a person from film come to theater that is only provisionally a film again, and you feel a slight bit of tentativeness in her dancing.
The film is 134 minutes long; the last 14 are a killer, particularly as Brooks and Stroman shunt through various endings and can never find one that really sums up what's come before. Neither could the original. This ending is just as bad, only longer.
The Producers, at area theaters, is rated PG-13 for sexual humor and references.

Of course you know the story of Camelot: Boy meets girl; boy makes girl a queen; queen fools around with boy's best friend; the world ends. As musicals go, Lerner & Lowe's Kennedy-era epic about King Arthur, his knights and their ladies is one of the biggies, looming especially large in Boomer mythos.

I've been wanting to catch this particular art exhibition since it came out in January earlier this year, but never got around to it, so I was quite pleasantly surprised to see that it had been extended till September, so when I went to check it out after I was done with the 11mosque exhibition.
Some background for the non-Singaporeans out there – besides being well known as a 'Fine City' and imposing fines on everything, we're also quite a Campaign City, as our government initiates all sorts of campaigns to get us to do things, whether it's to Be Kind, Speak Mandarin or Stop Dengue Mosquitoes from Breeding. This exhibition Campaign City: Life in Posters takes a look back at the campaigns we've instituted through the years, and looks at the good (and bad) that has come out from these campaigns – several local artists were asked to contribute their personal takes on these campaigns through posters, and there was a mini exhibition of old campaign related artifacts as well as interviews with the public about their thoughts.
The exhibition is held up in the main library on the 11th floor, and I don't know if it was a deliberate thing, but for me juxtaposing these strong statements against an environment where you aren't allowed to make too much noise in gave a rather stifling atmosphere, which must have been a common feeling for the people who were being forced by the government to change by these campaigns.
I enjoyed reading some of the anecdotes and looking at the old artifacts – for Singaporeans it's an insightful look into our history – hindsight is 20-20 after all. Some of these campaigns seem downright silly nowadays, like the "Long haired males will be served last"; others like the 'Stop at Two' campaign which encouraged smaller families worked at that time but have had to evolve as the country faces a severely low birth rate today.
For tourists and visitors to Singapore, it gives you a less 'sanitized' look at Singapore's history for those who are interested in how our little city state has developed.
Go check it out if you haven't already, it's been extended so there's no reason not to!

Here is my post on my 2017 Savings Goals.
1. Retirement accounts maxed for each of us. I plan to front-load mine to the first half of the year, and T's will be spread throughout the year evenly. There isn't a real reason behind this strategy, but it is what I did last year and I liked it.
2. Mortgage prepayment of ~$30k. This is a little more than 2016, but it seems to be the right thing to do. Owning a home in a super expensive market drives this choice. We have been doing our best to mitigate that now so that we'll have flexibility to afford kids here in the future. We've talked about other options, but it is pretty unlikely we'd leave T's job.
Added 3/1/2017: Rather than holding 100% in cash, we decided to divert $10k our 0% car loan payoff savings account to the mortgage. The other $10k remains in savings for the time being, and we'll cash flow the payments. This means a total of $40k in pre-payments will go to the mortgage this year (although we obviously have a car bill to consider in our cashflow).
3. General increase in cash/liquid reserves of $20k. Some of this might be allocated to a home maintenance fund (we'll need an expensive roof at some point in the next decade), the rest will go to general long term savings / cash reserves. My targeted savings fund for when we may have a kid in the future is already nominally funded to cover unpaid time off, although I should double check my calculations. It also would be a good idea to optimize my strategy for where we hold the cash.
4. Split any remaining savings 50/50 between mortgage and cash savings. The amount in this bucket will depend on what our overall spending turns out to be. I want to set a spending goal of $90k, but our plans (travel, home projects) aren't firm enough to know if that is achievable. I'm thinking I'll have another $10k, but it could be more or less.

How To Avoid Common Phone System Mistakes
If you are a frequent visitor of our blog, then chances are you understand the value and importance of keeping your small business technology up to date – And utilizing that technology to help drive revenue.
It's great if you update your business to the newest, most technologically advanced POS systems on the market. But if you aren't utilizing all of their functionalities, are you really benefiting?
The same goes with your phone systems. Having a working, high-tech phone at your business is something you know you need, but knowing how to use it properly is just as important.
So Direct Capital wants to help you avoid these 5 common small business phone mistakes that you may not realize are costing you money.
- Choosing the wrong phone number: You want your business to be high-profile and well known. So, when you started your business you may have considered creating a vanity phone line that customers would remember – something like 1-800-YOUR-BIZ. But, you have to consider your audience. If you're a local business, customers want you to stay local. You will be much better suited – and better remembered by your customers – if you stick with a local area code in your phone number.
- Not making pre- or post-sale phone calls: This can go one of two ways. First, you don't want to miss out on opportunities to hit your customers, which is why calling them before and after you launch an email or direct mail campaign is crucial. By the time the post-sale phone call reaches them, they'll be dying to do business with you. The other way is not properly delegating pre- and post-sale calls in-house. If a customer is calling with a pre-sale question right before they buy, but you're tied up with a post-sale customer, you could lose out on some significant revenue. Try implementing an automatic call menu into your phone system, where sales questions or placing an order can be directed to one member of your team, and help with existing orders can go to another.
- Have an "After Hours" system in place: You don't want your cell phone to ring at all hours of the night, but you also don't want your customers waiting on the other end of a line that won't be answered. A good solution is playing an automated voicemail message instructing customers what they can do to get in touch. This will differ depending on the type of business you own, but it could be: Leave a message, send an email, fill out an inquiry form online, call back during normal business hours, etc. Always let them know in the message that you're sorry you missed them and will return their call as soon as you get back in the office. (And make sure you really do call them back!)
- Always answer the phone: When the office is open, you never want customers to be directed to a voicemail. This sends a bad message. We understand you and your staff get busy, but it's a good idea to make sure your phone system has a "call waiting" feature. This allows your employees to answer any number of calls that you receive and place the caller on hold. This way, your customer knows a live person is on the other end of the line and that a representative will be with them shortly.
- Test, test, test: Chances are, there will be times when you need to implement a new phone number or re-route numbers to a different line. When you do this, always test your phone lines to ensure they are going to the proper place. For example, if you need a line to go straight to customer service and instead it's hitting the sales team, customers and employees will be very confused. Another issue could be that the phone just rings without anyone on the other end to pick it up. Find out where any discrepancies are and work to fix them before pushing the phone number live.
Being aware of these common phone system mistakes and working to fix them will make sure you aren't missing out on sales opportunities. It will also keep your customers from becoming frustrated, and ultimately making a call to your competitor.
Direct Capital is your small business partner and is here to help you see success, increase revenue, and enjoy a bright future ahead. We're also here if you need help implementing any new technology – like upgraded phone systems – with our small business loan program.

After eight long years, Robbie Williams was able to re-claim the number one spot as his single 'Candy' topped the official singles chart. Selling 137,000 copies 'Candy' is officially the fastest-selling single by a male artist this year based on the Official Charts Company.
This is the 7th solo number one for Robbie. The singer was obviously delighted with the warm response from his fans. He told OfficialCharts.com: "Good work Team Williams and thanks to everyone who got it there."
He added: "I'm so excited about this album and this is a great start."
His new album, Take The Crown, is released on Monday.
Robbie has sold 60million albums and has won 12 Brit Awards since he went solo.
Prior to the Take The Crown album, the singer released two albums that were not as well received as his previous albums.
In 2010, Robbie reunited with his Take That band mates and made history with their record-breaking Progress UK stadium tour in 2011.
Other singers who have made it to the chart this week include Emeli Sande, who slipped back into second place, and Adele for her James Bond theme tune 'Skyfall'.
