Used the right way, snacking can be an effective way to curb cravings and improve your weight loss efforts. Regular snacking staves off extreme hunger, maintains energy and actually helps you shed pounds. The key to healthy snacking, though, is knowing when and what to munch. Aim for one to two 150- to 200-calorie snacks daily. Make sure to space meals and snacks about three to four hours apart. A well-rounded healthy snack includes protein, carbohydrates and some fat. This mix keeps you satisfied longer than pure carbohydrate snacks and also helps to balance blood sugar levels. Here are some perfectly balanced snacks, all under 200 calories:

Such a decision would be an abdication of our responsibilities as an ally and as the leader of the Western alliance. It would result in the perpetuation in power of a ruthless dictator who has ordered terrorist attacks on the United States in the past, has pursued nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction, and who can be expected to return to these activities should he survive. To cut off funding for current efforts would, in short, be profoundly contrary to American interests. ... The United States should be leading in this effort, not trailing behind our allies. We should be doing more to help the Libyan opposition, which deserves our support. We should not be allowing ourselves to be held hostage to UN Security Council resolutions and irresolute allies.
Last week, President Obama released a report defending the legality of US operations [JURIST report] in Libya in a report released in response to recent criticisms of American intervention in Libya, including: a resolution [bill materials] passed in the US House of Representatives [official website] calling for withdrawal without congressional approval; a letter [text] to Obama from Boehner warning that he was within five days of violating the War Powers Resolution; and Representatives Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and Walter Jones (R-NC) [official websites] filing a lawsuit [JURIST report] seeking an injunction on the Libya action. Obama's report endorsed a pending resolution [bill materials] that would provide some congressional support for continued efforts in Libya, though not approval of declaring war. The report also detailed that the US has spent USD $716 million and will spend $1.1 billion by the end of September.

Top 12 of 2012: Future Eagles |
Columns - Op-Eds |
As 2012 comes to a close, we'll be running a series of Top 12 of 2012 lists, featuring some of the top photos, players, events and bits of news from the last year. RUGBYMag's official 2012 Awards are chronicled in our November issue. In our last Top 12 of '12 story, we look at the guys we think have the best chance to earn Eagle caps someday. The majority of our group come from the college and age-grade ranks. They're listed alphabetically. There are some guys who perhaps deserve to be on the list, like Don Pati, Colton Cariaga, Zac Mizell and Kingsley McGowan, but we kept the list at 12.

Here is the game that Wii owners have been pining for, a game that has tons of appeal for both the less experienced player and the longtime gamer. A game that deftly combines accessibility and challenge, all wrapped up in a package that's both deep and addictive. Super Mario Galaxy is all of this and more. It is simultaneously one of Mario's best adventures and a game that doesn't require fandom of the portly plumber's previous engagements to appreciate. The sheer quality of Mario Galaxy's wonderful level designs, tight controls, and brilliant presentation is the sort of thing that just about anyone who loves gaming should be able to appreciate, and that many will fall head-over-heels for.
Mario takes to the stars in Super Mario Galaxy.
The premise for Mario Galaxy begins in fairly well-worn territory. Mario receives a note from his beloved Peach to come to the castle, for she has a special "gift" for him. He arrives, only to walk straight into chaos as Bowser and son arrive in a fleet of airships and use a giant UFO to pluck the Princess' castle right out of the ground. Mario gives chase, but is unable to rescue her before the fearsome twosome jet off into space. This all certainly sounds par for the course, but it's where Mario ends up that gives Mario Galaxy its own flavor. Mario eventually hooks up with a creature called a luma, from a race that looks like some kind of cross between an invincibility star and a headless chicken. The lumas are led by an enigmatic woman named Rosalina, who lives with them on a crazy spaceship called the comet observatory. Mario learns that Bowser has made off with a gaggle of power stars used to power the observatory. To reach Bowser's hideout, Mario has to travel to all the various galaxies in the universe to collect as many power stars as he can in order to power the ship back up, fly to the center of the universe, rescue the princess, and set everything right again.
Mario 64, anyone? If you played that seminal game, Mario Galaxy's star hunt progression probably sounds familiar to you. But apart from that basic structuring, you can hardly call Mario Galaxy a Mario 64 rehash. If anything, Mario Galaxy simply takes the basics of what made Mario 64 such a dynamite game, and turns them completely crazy.
The definition of crazy here has a lot to do with gravity and physics. Each galaxy contains a series of little worlds that can't even really be called planets so much as they are floating puzzles. In many of these worlds, Mario can walk just about anywhere. When he lands on a sphere, he can walk all over it, going sideways and upside down in the process. Sometimes you'll simply jump in one area and end up gravitating toward the ceiling or walls or even another nearby planetoid without even realizing it. Often Mario will need to track down launch stars, which, when you shake the Wii Remote while standing near or inside one, will send you flying to a whole new, previously inaccessible area. There are even sections where you'll be floating through space, using specialized pull stars to hop from area to area, all while floating through the spatial void.
Practically every galaxy you explore is an absolute joy to experience. The level designs here are top flight in every regard, with tons of clever and sometimes dastardly traps and puzzles for Mario to navigate. The difficulty doesn't start off terribly high, but as time goes on, the game ramps up nicely, building the challenge steadily until the final areas, which, though perhaps a bit frustrating to inexperienced players, provides the exact sort of tough workout you've come to expect from a Mario adventure. But even aside from the challenge level, simply exploring all these various galaxies is half the fun. Whether you're floating from land mass to land mass on a giant spinning flower, running frantically around a giant series of platforms that shrink to nothing the first time you touch them, or taking on one of several terrific 2D side-scrolling areas reminiscent of New Super Mario Bros. for the DS, you won't be wanting for variety while playing through Galaxy's dozens of levels.
In a sort of nod to the suit-happy gameplay of Super Mario Bros. 3, Mario can don a number of different costumes that give him new abilities. For instance, in several levels, Mario can take on the abilities of a bee, buzzing around through the air via his new pair of wings, and wall-climbing specific honeycombed areas of the environment. With others, Mario can freeze water to walk over it, launch fireballs (natch), fly, wrap himself in a Mario-sized spring and jump to great heights, turn invincible (natch, again) and even turn into one of those pesky boos, allowing him to float around and pass through some solid walls. In most cases, the game takes great advantage of these abilities in the context of each level. A few involving the bee suit are a bit frustrating (given that you lose the suit when you touch water) and the spring suit is kind of a pain to control given Mario's perpetual bounciness, but otherwise, these abilities add a great dimension to the already excellent gameplay.
All the crazy gravitational pulling and perspective shifting is undeniably cool, and also potentially a little queasy.
Apart from the screwiness of the spring suit, there's very little issue to be taken with Mario Galaxy's controls. At its core, it controls much as Mario 64 did, but with a couple of Wii-centric twists. For one, Mario's primary attack is a basic spin move (the same spin move you use to activate launch stars). Simply shaking the Wii Remote engages the spin, and it's an extremely responsive mechanic. The one trick to it is that you have to wait a second before spinning again, so you want to make sure you're able to get away from whatever bad guy is nearby if you happen to miss.

Campus SecurityBaker University regards the safety and security of all students, faculty, staff and visitors as a primary responsibility. This responsibility is shared by all members of the University community. Active involvement in one's personal safety and the safety of others, and cooperation in prompt reporting of observations and incidents will ensure that Baker University continues to be a safe atmosphere for learning and growth. Baker University Graduate School of Education and School of Professional and Graduate Studies officials work in cooperation with the Overland Park, Topeka, Lee's Summit, North Kansas City and Wichita Police Departments, as applicable, to protect the University community. At the Overland Park site, uniformed security patrol officers conduct patrols on campus after business hours and are authorized to stop a crime in progress although the Overland Park Police Department would have to be involved for an arrest. Campus Security ReportsIn accordance with the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act and recent congressional Higher Education Amendments, the following statistics are provided for your information. Each institution of higher learning is required annually to prepare a Uniform Campus Crime Report (UCCR), consistent with the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) System. The report is to reflect the crime statistics on the property of the institution for the preceding year. Crime Statistics 2010-2012
Violence Against Women ActReporting CrimesThe vice president and dean of the Graduate School of Education and School of Professional and Graduate Studies, the Wichita executive directors, and the director of Student Services are responsible for the general security of the University community and for reporting crimes to appropriate authorities as well as taking appropriate disciplinary action. Students, faculty, staff and guests of the University are encouraged to report emergencies and all situations that may involve criminal activity to the local police department and the director of academic advising at 913.491.4432 for incidents in Overland Park, Topeka, Lee's Summit and North Kansas City, or the Wichita executive directors at 316.636.2322, ext. 6323, to report incidents on the Wichita campus. The police department and University personnel will respond with appropriate action, which may include the following:
If no immediate danger exists, victims of or witnesses to criminal activity may file a report with the Academic Advising Office in Overland Park or with the administrative offices in Wichita. The Academic Advising Office is located at the Overland Park facility at 8001 College Blvd., Suite 100, Overland Park, Kan., 66210. The office can be contacted at 913.491.4432. The Wichita Administrative Office is located at 3450 N. Rock Road, Bldg. 400, Wichita, Kan., 67226. The office can be contacted at 316.636.2322. Adherence to all University policies and local, state, and federal laws, as well as general practices of common sense, helps to assure personal safety and the safety of others. Although the opportunity for crime exists throughout society, the diligence of everyone will lessen the chances of crime occurring. Building SecurityThe administrative offices at all sites—Overland Park, Lee's Summit, Topeka, North Kansas City, Wichita—are secured at 5:30 or 6 p.m., depending on location. When in evening use, a security officer or staff member locks the classroom facilities in Overland Park, Lee's Summit, North Kansas City, Topeka, and Wichita at 10:20 p.m. Buildings that are closed for the evening are not to be entered under any circumstances. Alcohol, Drugs, FirearmsSpecific policies regarding the possession, use and sale of alcoholic beverages and drugs, and the possession or use of firearms are included in both the Graduate SOE and SPGS Catalog and Student Handbook and Baker University Employee Handbook. University policy will be strictly enforced by administrative officials, and, if necessary, local law enforcement officials will be called for assistance. Possession and use of cereal malt and/or alcoholic beverages is prohibited on University sites. Baker University prohibits the unlawful possession, use, manufacture and distribution of drugs or alcohol by its students on its property or as a part of any of its activities. Students found to be in violation of this policy will be reported to the appropriate law enforcement officials and will be subject to disciplinary action taken by the state or federal authorities. Sexual Assault & RapeBaker University is committed to maintenance of an environment free from sexual exploitation and intimidation. Persons who have been raped or sexually assaulted are encouraged to contact University resources for assistance. The director of Academic Advising or executive directors will investigate all incidents related to sexual assault or rape at University sites and institute action and sanctions as necessary. It is the policy of the University and our goal to provide a place free from tensions involving matters that do not relate to the University's mission. Particularly, an atmosphere of tension created by sexual remarks or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other conduct of a sexual nature shall not be permitted. If any such verbal or physical conduct takes place, the offended individual is asked to immediately notify a supervisor or appropriate University official so that the University can deal with the problem in a confidential manner, and so that appropriate action may be taken. Rape and sexual assault are defined as any form of sexual contact without the consent of all parties involved to include:
The need for consent of individuals shall include situations where a person is unable to consent because of mental incapacitation, drug or alcohol influence, or loss of consciousness to make a decision about a sexual act. Persons who have been raped or sexually assaulted are encouraged to use the following procedures:
Note: All information reported to the University will be handled in a confidential manner. Sex Offender Registry & Access to Related InformationThe law requires institutions of higher education to issue a statement advising the campus community where law enforcement agency information provided by a state concerning registered sex offenders may be obtained. It also requires sex offenders already required to register in a state to provide notice, as required under state law, of each institution of higher education in that state at which the person is employed, carries on a vocation, or is a student. Law enforcement agency information concerning registered sex offenders in Kansas may be obtained through the Kansas Bureau of Investigation website at http://www.accesskansas.org/kbi/, and/or the sheriff's department in the county where the campus is located. Law enforcement agency information concerning registered sex offenders in Missouri may be obtained through the Missouri State Highway Patrol website at http://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/MSHPWeb/PatrolDivisions/CRID/SOR/SORPage.html, 1.888.767.6747, or the sheriff's department in the county where the campus is located. Baker University B Alert Safety Notification SystemBaker University's B Alert safety notification system is a text message alert system to help the Baker community stay informed of potential emergencies and school closings caused by inclement weather. The text message emergency notification system allows phone lines to remain open for first responders and 911 callers. The emergency personnel will know that the public is informed and can focus on the situation. To make sure the system is working properly in the event of an emergency, the system is tested once or twice a year. Besides the testing, students only receive messages in the event of an emergency or school closing. If an emergency situation should occur, text messages are sent out with information of the situation and instructions to help protect you. This system is only activated if a situation occurs or is imminent that has the potential to place the safety and security of the entire campus community at risk. Enrollment must be updated each year. Enroll or reenroll in B Alert by scrolling to the bottom of the page and entering your contact information. Student ResponsibilityThe cooperation and involvement of students are crucial to ensure a secure environment. Students must assume responsibility for their own personal safety and the security of their personal belongings by taking simple, common sense precautions. Student awareness of the environment and surroundings is the best place to start.

Olympic snowboarder Ross Rebagliati, author Phoebe Baker Hyde 2/12/2013
Guest host Jann Arden talks to Olympic gold medal snowboarder Ross Rebagliati about why he's opening a marijuana dispensary in Whistler, British Columbia. Plus, Phoebe Baker Hyde on her memoir, The Beauty Experiment.

Let me start out by saying I am a California girl. Everything I learned about agriculture was in the setting of a grower's paradise – mild summers and winters that rarely drop below freezing. I grew up thinking that winter farming was only a West Coast possibility. I'm not really sure what I thought most farmers did during winter on the East Coast – I suppose I thought they stayed inside to plan for the spring while the land lay fallow, resting. I really couldn't imagine that anything nourishing could grow in the earth's freezing soil, which this winter, has so often been covered in snow.
With this mentality, I went out to visit one of our farmers, Zach Lester, from Tree and Leaf Farm. For those of you that don't know Zach from our Dupont Circle FRESHFARM Market, he's the kind of farmer that always teaches you something new about the produce you pick out at market. Visiting Zach at his farm was no less of a learning experience than shopping at his market stand.
As I drove up to Tree and Leaf Farm on Friday morning, I was careful to turn into the driveway slowly. It had snowed about eight inches the night before and the roads were still a little icy. I pulled on my boots and walked down the road to meet Zach. Talking, we walked past the first set of many tunnels scattered across his fields. These tunnels, Zach explained, were the smallest of the tunnels he employs. They were four feet wide and made by Zach himself with repurposed rebar bent into half-moon shapes. An opaque plastic was stretched across the top of them and buried where they meet the ground. Zach told me how these little tunnels took their inspiration from an old technique in France in which glass bells, or cloches, were placed overtop plants to protect them from the cold. You could then prop up the glass bells with a stick, or in his case, lift up the plastic walls to ventilate the plants. These rows of low tunnels were currently empty, solarizing, he told me. The sun would heat up the soil killing off any bad pathogens and the warmth would help to more readily break down organic material, filling the soil with nutrients. Zach is planning to build more of these low tunnels with a zero interest KIVA loan he is working to get. The smaller tunnels are easier to move, which he said is important for healthy soil rotation, and even better, they are easy to take care of, so he can focus on his crops instead of infrastructure maintenance.
The next tunnels that we walked to are a little bigger, six feet across and just tall enough to stand in at the very center. They are built like their smaller cousins, but these have an intricate weaving of ropes tying them down for stability. Inside are two rows of plants, mixed lettuce on the left and carrots on the right. Zach pulls a few slender carrots up as he tells me that this variety of winter carrot is like gold, other spring and fall carrots really don't compare, but he still grows them for the demand. As we step into the tunnels I am immediately blown away by how warm it is inside. I couldn't tell you what temperature it actually was, but I swear it felt like 80 degrees. I ask Zach how he heats the tunnels to which he simply answers, "the sun". He goes on to tell me that for him, using fossil fuels just doesn't make sense, from a philosophical and monetary standpoint. As we walked down to the end of the row where two of his staff members in t-shirts were harvesting greens, I could actually see the humidity rising up from the soil. I had left DC, I had left the East Coast, and I had left winter.
As I reluctantly leave the tunnel, Zach tells me how he worries about his soil getting flooded as the snow melts and how he had already lost three to four weeks of greens and 4,000 full grown heads of cabbage to this winter cold. I ask if the snow is the issue and he explains to me that the snow is actually insulating–the issue is when it repeatedly freezes causing the cells of plants to rupture and literally explode. Zach shows me inside his last set of tunnels, his high tunnels, which stand about as tall as a small barn, with three or four rows of crops inside. He shows me the garlic he is growing for a friend. Zach has pretty much stopped growing garlic to sell at farmers markets because it seems like he can never make a profit. We both muse over how garlic can be so cheap to buy in stores, but so expensive to grow. He tells me he is planting tomatoes in this high tunnel next week and I realize just how amazing these tunnels truly are. It's the dead of winter, literally a foot of snow on the ground, but these sun-warmed paradises mean that Zach can not only bring winter roots and greens to market, but that he can also bring tomatoes to market in the spring before the majority of other farmers can – a precious leg up on the competition. Zach reflects that he thinks part of the reason that he loves farming in winter so much is because he actually hates winter. I totally understand the charm – the tunnels get you outside and keep you warm and active, all things I struggle with during the winter.
As we head back toward the house, Zach points to the snow covered fields, mentioning that he has a lot planted out there too. Now I'm really confused, planted under a foot of snow? He tells me that it's all well insulated underneath a layer of plastic, beneath all that snow, keeping the soil from freezing. I figure he must be using the snow like a refrigerator for storage, but again, he says no. He tells me that what is planted out there is still growing, that if we walked out there and dug down into the snow and lifted up that black plastic, we would be able to dig up a turnip. At this point, I am baffled. I understand the idea of the tunnels and how you can create an environment that is more hospitable to growing tender plants, but I really can't fathom how anything can grow outside, under a foot of snow, beneath a sheet of plastic. Zach laughs, walks me out through the field, gets down on his knees and begins digging in the snow. At this point, I am as mesmerized as a child watching a magician pull a rabbit from a hat. Zach plunges his hand under the snow, beneath the layer of plastic and miraculously pulls up a bunch of beautiful turnips. He hands them to me like a prize and I can hardly believe that these gorgeous turnips with their bright green tops and their roots picturesquely covered in soil were grown in what I originally thought of as a barren landscape.
As we walk back to the house to meet with his wife Georgia O'Neal, we laugh about how farming in winter is kind of like any other extreme activity. People don't realize how hard it is – he was up every two hours last night to brush the snow off the top of his tunnels. He and Georgia tell me about how in the early days of their farm, they used to sleep out in the tunnels between the rows of crops on really stormy nights to make sure their tunnels didn't collapse under the weight of the snow. And it's not just growing the produce that's hard in the winter. You have to keep it from freezing when you store it, you have to have a truck that is insulated enough to get it to market, and then once you get it to market, you have to keep all that produce that you painstakingly kept warm in the fields from freezing before the customer buys it. That's why winter produce is a little more expensive, a 'suffering tax' he calls it. We laugh that there should be a Deadliest Catch or Ice Road Truckers show for winter farmers. Sitting inside with our tea, Zach and Georgia smile — farming in winter they tell me, really is an entirely different ball game.

< Return To Hearing
Prof. William C. BanksSeptember 10, 2002 STATEMENT OF PROFESSOR WILLIAM C. BANKS Thirty years ago the Supreme Court first confronted the tensions between unmonitored executive surveillance and individual freedoms in the national security setting. United States v. United States District Court (Keith) arose from a criminal proceeding in which the United States charged three defendants with conspiracy to destroy government property - the dynamite bombing of a CIA office in Ann Arbor, Michigan. During pretrial proceedings, the defendants moved to compel disclosure of electronic surveillance. The Government admitted that a warrantless wiretap had intercepted conversations involving the defendants. In the Supreme Court, the government defended its actions on the basis of the Constitution and a national security disclaimer in the 1968 Crime Control Act. Justice Powell's opinion for the Court first rejected the statutory argument and found that the Crime Control Act disclaimer of any intention to legislate regarding national security surveillance simply left presidential powers in the area untouched. |

News & Events
PSU Library is pleased to announce a new collection in PDXScholar, Cascadia Ecolopois (http://dr.archives.pdx.edu/xmlui/handle/psu/8756).
This collection contains reports of term-long projects conducted by graduate classes in the Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning. They stem from a report created by Regional Plan Association in New York and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in Cambridge, MA, along with students at the University of Pennsylvania on the emerging "megaregions" in the US. A megaregion refers to a networked group of metropolitan regions, and is modeled on the notion of "megalopolis," a territory of continuous urbanization usually associated with the corridor from Boston on the north to Richmond on the south. One of the emerging megaregions identified through this work is "Cascadia," the territory from northern California through British Columbia, and centered on the Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver, BC metropolitan regions. Unlike its eastern counterpart, the megalopolis, the ecolopolis refers to networking of the three principle metropolitan regions in Cascadia but calls for maintaining their separation by working and wild landscapes. In this way, Cascadia would develop its own distinctive megaregion, tied intimately to the culture and "brand" of the Pacific Northwest, and avoiding the continuous urbanization associated with more sprawling examples of megaregion development.

You can't learn to drive early enough, according to the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS). They're running a pilot program for kids as young as 12 in Adelaide that they hope the Government will pick up and run across all secondary schools.
It's an absolutely fantastic idea. Not only will it prevent kids from picking up bad habits from parents or older siblings who drive them around, it'll also prevent anyone chickening out of driving and waiting too long to get a licence.
As a child of the era of the first really graphic road safety television ads, I waited till my mid 20s to start learning to drive because I always felt too anxious to take the responsibility of getting behind the wheel.
While friends who jumped at the chance to get their Ls have always been ahead of the driving game. By the time I was on my Ls, most had their gold licences and could reverse park with their eyes closed.
Needless to say, it's taken me longer to achieve all those things. Some may still argue the toss about my reverse parking skills, too. The upside though was emotional maturity, and that's where I think the CAMS program should draw the line.
Being able to drive is one thing, but making good driving decisions is another. While it can only do young kids good to grasp the basics of driving and get some road sense as well as feel confident, you'd not like to see them actually get out on the road on their own until they're much older.
Driving skills test your spatial awareness, knowledge of road rules and co-ordination. But in an ideal world, nobody should be allowed to drive on the road by themselves, before some kind of emotional maturity test.

Anything to prevent the menace of the idiots who treat roads as racetracks is fine by me. BTW, what is a 'gold' licence, Lucy?
iansand says:
There is a huge gulf between being a skilful driver and a good driver. To be a good driver you have to have been scared a few times.
Kerryn says:
One thing I constantly have to be careful of, as my sister is 15 and often comes to Brisbane with me (we have such fun!). I have a few bad habits (mainly letting my hands slacken on the wheel after a while to the point where one usually rests on my lap) that I shouldn't model to her. Then again, she's terrified of having a licence…
Mahhrat says:
A damn good idea. I think everyone should learn to drive, not so they can handle a car, but so the abillity is there should an emergency ever arise.
After all, cars are fast than zombies, while you are most certainly not.
Al B says:
Good thing with CAMS involvement is there is an acknowlegement of motor racing. And the time and place for the 'sport' of driving, which some kids are into purely as an outlet in regular driving. Get them out on to circuits in cars, go karts whatever….does release that inner gran turismo freak in the right way rather than zipping around changing lanes on a public road every ten seconds.
Sam says:
I think its great idea to teach kids to drive. The benefit is that they then ride in the car as a passenger but thinking like the driver. They become much more aware of the challenges of driving and dangers of not concentrating.
Steve says:
It's never too soon to start taking on responsibiity and making decisions.
Driving is just one area where these skills are used.
Hamlyn says:
Dont they start at 12 in Finland? They still dont get their license till they're older but by then they know how to drive really well. I heard they have the worst roads and the lowest road toll so it obviously works.
Most farm kids and many country kids learn as soon as they can reach the pedals.
It always annoys me when they call it the "country road toll" and include what are basically the outer suburbs or people from the city who die on country roads because they arent used to rough roads, kangaroos, fatigue management etc.
M says:
Oh dear, I can see how this is going to go down already. Bring on the screechers and the preachers.
Tubesteak says:
Our driver training programs and licencing requirements should reflect those of Germany. Our conditions are worse and driving distances are longer and mot don't really know how to cope with these conditions. The level of skill required to operate a car is far greater than what most people think. Also, the level of cars able to be registered on our roads should also be reviewed so that all the old clunkers with poor quality should be removed from the road.
fairsfair says:
My bro started driving at 9. He was too sure of himself as a P Plater and did ample stupid things. These days he is a very good driver (he does it for a living) and I've never met anyone who can reverse a trailer like him - but he still did burnouts, drove like an idiot in his V8 ute, lost all his points and survived on one, did the court thing. The only thing he really didn't do was drink drive. He caused my parents and other road users undue grief.
Whilst I think he is as good a driver as he is because he started so early it didn't stop him doing the usual young person stupid things. So I don't think this is a total solution to the real problem - the inability to identify risk (invincibility/it won't happen to me) which only seems to come with age and significant experience.
Jme says:
If all would be road users are taught the correct way to merge and to adjust speed accordingly when slowing down, the world would be a better place. Way too many people still do not stick to the left lane. Way too many people still rely on traffic lights solely instead of also using their own brains when scanning traffic. Way too many people brake for no reason AT ALL, creating a cascade affect behind. Adjusting the vehicles speed by firstly scanning well ahead, backing off on the accelorator and then perhaps braking if need be is a great place for any road user to start. Pretty sure I was taught this long before I was 13, and I didnt particularly have to be driving the vehicle. Being aware that some vehicles behind may need speed on encountering a gradient would also be a collectively conscious effort. Hey, and if you are going 5-10 under the speed limit in a single lane, dont speed up when the dual lanes open up.
Greg says:
What everyone needs is defensive driving courses on top of all the other testing as part of the testing process.
Anyone can get behind the wheel and steer, but there is a massive difference between steering and being a safe competent driver.
While we are at it everyone should be forced to actually learn to drive (aka driving a manual) not siting and steering (auto)
Ally says:
Teaching kids driving skills from a younger age is a good idea. As a teenager I was allowed to practice finding the gears in mum's manual and then doing hill starts on our steep drive way, before graduating to the Kmart carpark on a Sunday (back when shops shut for the weekend at 12 on a Saturday) to practice parking and manoeuvring the car.
That said, I had a horrible experience at 16 with a pushy driving instructor on my first paid lesson and then didn't get my license until I was 20 and more confident on the roads.
I also think there should be some capacity to delay or prevent people from getting their license if they've failed a number of times. Some people seriously should not be on the roads at all and failing the test five or six times before scraping through on an automatic license really should tell them something. The scary thing is that after a certain number of years that automatic license automatically transfers to a manual license without any additional testing required.
Hamlyn says:
I also believe all road users should do a few hours travelling in a truck to fully appreciate how long it takes a truck to stop and start. I recently went with someone in a truck and couldnt believe how many cars would race to get in front only to brake heavily at the lights. They would then be looking angrily in their mirror wondering why theres a semi on their back bumper. Also on overtaking lanes people who get beside a truck then think they will somehow come off best when the lane turns back into one. Dont start overtaking if you cant get right past in time.
I always thought trucks were just a pain until I actually went for a trip in one and realised how inconsiderate many motorists are. So much more careful around trucks now.
TheHuntress says:
I think it's an excellent idea getting kids driving early. Like most things early intervention and education yields better results. Anything to improve the driving standard in Perth would be very well welcome.
(Although I do confess to some extremely poor behaviour on the roads over the weekend. I do openly apologise to people I may have upset on the roads, bar the complete tosser in the ute who thought it would be funny to sit in the right hand lane on 80km/hr, on the freeway, not allowing me to overtake. It was not funny, I was polite, waiting for you to pull left where there was plenty of room for all the people wanting to do 20-25km/hr under the speed limit, you were a w***er!)
Mark says:
And here lies the the undermining problem. The teachers of drivers in Australia do not have to perform to any sort of level other than obtaining a license. This means we have many, many different philosophies on how to drive being passed on to the next generation. This is fine, but how can we expect everyone to conform to a certain standard of driving if our teachers are not graded? It's all well and good to have rules in place but the interpretation and enforcement of those rules is left in the hands of some very uneducated people at times, which makes it quite hard to agree on a "best way to drive"- I say implement a mandatory amount of time spent with a qualified instructor. They do this in European countries where having a license is a privilege, not a right. They pay through the teeth for this privilege.
Utopia Boy says:
It seems most of us understand what is needed, and as usual, the guv'mint aint listening.
Good on CAMS for getting involved.
I like the idea put forward by Hamlyn above, but would go one further and say everyone must travel as a pillion passenger on a motorbike before receiving their licence as well.
So getting a car licence should involve:
High School Driving Education Programs,
Spending time at a rehabilitation centre for car crash victims (helping the staff look after victims),
Basic practical skills (steering, gear changing, braking, overtaking, cornering),
Time as a passenger in a truck and on a motorbike,
Defensive driving training (practical and theory) - hazard perception and counter measures. In particular, speed management and driving to traffic conditions,
Theory assessments,
Practical Assessments in real life situations - not in quiet suburban areas, but also on highways, motorways and high volume traffic thoroughfares.We could perhaps then do away with the multi layered licencing and insurance system that sees "young people" stigmatised and treated unfairly. I could live with an engine power restriction for novices, perhaps for two years after first attaining their licence.
Some legislative changes need to be made as well - a priority on safety when planning roads, not just auctioning off road infrastructure projects to the cheapest bidder, resulting in massive cost blowouts and ever increasing tolls.
Rebecca says:
Our road toll has fallen dramatically over the past few decades. This is mainly due to the introduction of numerous primary and secondary safety features. It's even lower if taken as a per kilometre rate.
Yet speed limits etc. have not changed since we drove 1956 Morris Minors with drum brakes, cross-ply tyres and no seat belts. In fact it sometimes feels as though we are heading back to requiring someone to walk in front of the vehicle with a red flag.
I think that the majority of accidents nowadays are caused by most drivers demonstrating more attention, knowledge, skill and interest when operating their microwave than when operating a motor vehicle.
hermano says:
Yep, start training them young, and make getting a drivers licence incredibly difficult.
I'm serious: On average, more than one person a day is killed by a motor vehicle in NSW alone. Yet we accept this as just a normal risk for the convenience of being able to drive to the shops. Imagine if some other activity killed that many people, preventably, every year. We'd be up in arms, the Gubmint has to do something, won't someone think of the children etc. But cos it's a car no-one says a thing.
It's bloody ridiculous, this loss of life. And it's not the infrastructure, it's not the speed cameras, it's not the guy going 80 in a 100 zone: it's that we drive around in 2 tonne hunks of metal with a licence earned after we reverse parked and drove around the block.
Swamp Thing says:
The little shits drive sports cars these days.
My 1st car was a rusty 4th hand ford - and I was far from alone in that sort of thing. Why? - well we couldn't afford $50k for a sportscar as our after school jobs really didn't make that much money.
Curse these modern times.
PG says:
"Being able to drive is one thing, but making good driving decisions is another"
Indeed. Part of the problem IMO is that learners have to learn 2 complex things at the same time - 1. How to control a vehicle and 2. How to make good decisions while driving on public roads.
Separate the 2 so that learners are very competent at controlling the vehicle before they have to start learning about decision making on public roads. Step 1 is easy, if you can ride a bike you can learn to drive a car. Step 2 is harder because driver attitudes are influenced by such a wide range of things (parents, siblings, friends, moveis, video games).
Josh says:
Indeed it is never too early to learn. And to all you:
- 7 point turners
- non-indicators
- tailgaters
- speedsters
- mobile phone users
- SMSers (Darwin Award candidates)
- blind spot runners
- persons who have no idea about how to behave at freeway on and off ramps
- bewildered roundabout users
- aggressive and/or continual lane changers
- those who screech to a halt for no obvious reason
- people who drive up the middle of the road (as opposed to the more traditional left hand side)
- those who struggle with proper driving behaviour around large trucks, bicycles, motorbikes and any other vehicle that is a bit unusual
- drivers who find it difficult to park their car, parallel or perpendicular
- people who can't judge speed or distance, their own and/or anyone else's
- anyone who believes that watching the road is not mandatoryfor all such people, it is never too late to learn how to drive, either.
Cat says:
I have done some postgraduate research in this area and I am aware of a body of evidence which strongly suggests that twelve year olds (and older) are still developing in many ways. They are simply not mature enough to drive - even off road as the programme suggests.
Driving is a very adult activity. It is not a right. It is a responsibility and it requires (and often does not get) maturity.
Now that children do not walk to and from school (or anywhere else) they have even less experience of traffic. They are not learning to make judgments about traffic and traffic in relation to themselves. You can teach all the road safety skills you like but we all need hours of experience on foot in order to gain the skills needed.
Learning to drive should start with pedestrian skills, then bicycle skills - all the while emphasising safety and awareness of others. Only then shoutd it go on to learning to drive - and then in the way described as the Finnish experience above.

Using elegant tones, soft texture and clean lines, Coco Republic's senior designer Natasha Levak takes a sophisticated approach to interior design,
Firstly, use balance and symmetry to ensure a sense of calm will dominate. Secondly, comfortable furniture. The furniture must look desirable to sit in, lie in, dine at. Finally, lighting; it can enhance a room in a whole different way.
It has to be neutral linens in interesting textures, teamed with smart charcoal, deep navy and freshened with crisp white. I love using white to accentuate deeper tones because it is both classic yet fresh and modern all at once. Colour is a tool I use to balance a room, choosing it either as a feature aspect, e.g. a key floor rug, or as a focal point for the eye – in the way of a great artwork or upholstered chair.
Floorboards. Not only are they practical, but, to me, they represent a more luxurious way of living. Whether they are polished boards or rustic reclaimed specimens, floorboards create a harmonious back palette for furniture and a home.
To me, full-height curtains, whether it be sheer or a full, interlined drape, are the way to go. Roman blinds in an interesting textured textile with a soft-finish end panel are a neat, effective method – and always my preference over a roller blind. Plantations can be effective in the right space, but the devil of them is that they can block out a lot of important natural light and appear too heavy. Venetians, vertical or upright, are a N-O.
Anything too decorative or shiny. I am enjoying simple print fabrics, adding detail through a piped seam or an unusual frame. Bronzes and slight uses of muted brass really have my attention.
Rework the floorplan if need be, to ensure symmetry is present. Paint the walls, ensure the rug is the correct size for the space and update scatter cushions or table lamps.

HRMbyDesign has been passed by HRM Council. Thanks to all for showing your support and ensuring the future growth and development of downtown Halifax.
We need a real plan for HRM's downtown: A plan to drive sensible economic growth and investment while preserving our heritage A plan that builds on our common ground
The Greater Halifax Partnership believes HRMbyDesign is that plan.
With a plan, anything is possible.
Is there really no common ground from which to build our city's future? In fact, there is a way forward. But it has been lost in the public dogfight which has become distractingly polarized, political and even litigious.
The fundamental issue at hand is how do we protect and incorporate the cherished heritage architecture we've inherited while ensuring we develop the sort of buildings needed in a modern city that is looking to the future.
The Greater Halifax Partnership is charged with driving economic growth for our city. And there is little doubt that economic growth and our future tax base is what is at stake in the current debate. At the Partnership we know the people of Greater Halifax want our city to grow. A recent survey of the views of HRM Citizens found 72 per cent of those polled think growth is good and that a majority of us believe commercial and residential development should be happening NOW in downtown Halifax.
While we stand still and argue, many well-loved heritage buildings that need protection are gradually becoming unusable ruins and risk being torn down altogether, while development and growth are stalled. Often no one wins. We have had too many lose-lose situations. But this does not have to be a zero sum game. There is a solution. There is a win-win. It's called HRMbyDesign. And the sooner we get it on the books and working, the sooner we move away from the economically suicidal condition of doing nothing.
HRMbyDesign will provide developers with a transparent and predictable approval process – which provides us with what we need – new capacity for growth. It will also ensure only quality, architecturally sensitive developments and public spaces are approved in our downtown. At the same time, HRMbyDesign will give those concerned about protecting our existing buildings a process protecting our heritage.
Is it perfect? Of course not. No process is. But it is a way to move ahead – a way that addresses everyone's concerns. But to get HRMbyDesign it needs to be passed by HRM Council. Once that it is in place, then HRM Council needs to make the investment envisioned by HRMbyDesign.
Together we can make Greater Halifax the most modern and historic city in Canada.Learn more about HRMbyDesign and the Partnership's role in the initiative.

When I am strong, I believe, incorrectly, that I will remain strong indefinitely, as long as I continuing doing all the same things, all the time. So it's always a big surprise to be five miles into a 60 mile ride and suffering like a worm on the end of a fishing hook, just dangling there, waiting for something big to come along and eat me.
As a cultivator of suffering, it's astonishing how unpleasant it can get when you're out of form. And I just think to myself, "Isn't this what you came for? Isn't this what you wanted?"
I try to believe that if I just hang in I'll feel better in a kilometer or two, that I'll get my legs under me and stop dropping off the back on every climb. Maybe if I eat something. Maybe if I drink a bit more. Maybe if I find a better gear, in the small ring. Maybe it's just not my day.
The truth is, sometimes it's just not. No one maintains their top level year-round. Right?
And yet, the surprise, the shock, when your regular companions ride away up the road, not because they want to hammer you, but because they can't conceive of the idea that you're not on their wheel. They pull off the front, expecting you to come through, and … nothing.
You have to be careful. Formless rides can be so dispiriting you struggle to pull on your bibs the next day. You begin a seemingly inexorable slide off the back of fitness. The couch gets that much more comfortable. You begin finding reasons not to ride. And then, a panic sets in. "Holy shit! I've got to get back on the bike!"
Sometimes you just needed a rest. Sometimes it's a long slog back.
Fortunately, you will forget this. The season will change. It will get hotter or colder, and your legs will feel strong again. It will be you on the front, not even glancing over your shoulder. You'll crest the tallest hill and shift back over into the big ring (if you even left it) and feel the power coursing through you, and you'll forget that time, maybe not even a month before, when the sweat ran off the tip of your nose, your legs ached from ankle to hip, your vision blurred, staring down at your front wheel, praying for the end.
The beauty of self-imposed suffering is that it leaves few marks, either physical or mental. Ask anyone who's given birth. Ask anyone who's ridden a double century. Ask anyone who's raced Paris-Roubaix.
Even our most pathetic lack of form gives us something to ride away with. Does it hurt less the next time? Do we become less afraid of the ten miles post-bonk? Do we gain a little bit of compassion for our friends when they hit their own empty patch?
I can tell you I have been there lately, lungs heaving, eyes stinging with sweat, stomach sour on too much engineered glucose product, and limping up the hill to my house, barely able to clip out in the driveway, and then laying on the kitchen floor, where it's coolest, waiting for my back to give up its spasm.
I am sure there is something beyond this, if I can only manage to keep turning over the pedals.

The Price Of Beer Around The World
As the average price of beer is now around £2.90 in the majority of pubs, you might be surprised to find the UK isn't on the list of the top ten countries for the priciest pint. The number one spot is held by Greenland, charging a massive £7.35. Trek across the mountains into Tajikistan and you will only pay 30p.

ITHACA, NY-- The Cornell men trailed by just three points at halftime Saturday against Columbia, but a 21-12 Lions run to start the second half put the visitors in front by double digits and would ultimately doom the Big Red in the Ivy League opener at Newman Arena.
Columbia's Mark Cisco led all scorers with 18 points and 9 rebounds. Three other Lions also finished in double figures.
Cornell was led by Shonn Miller who had 13, Nolan Cressler who had 11 and Johnathan Gray who had 10.

Panetta tries to quell fears over sequestration
Tuesday - 7/24/2012, 7:59am EDT
He told industry leaders he keeps urging Congress to pass a new law to avoid those automatic program cuts. He said sequestration in any form would hurt both domestic and national security programs across the board.
A recent industry report said the sequester could cost more than 2 million jobs nationwide. By some estimates, it would raise unemployment by 1.5 percent.

London DL meet looking good
14 posts
• Page 1 of 1
London DL meet looking goodWith the announcement that the tax issues keeping Bilt from running in London have been worked out plus the meet being moved to the Olympic Stadium, the turnout could be very good.
The Telegraph's Simon Hart says "The huge number of people who have already registered for priority tickets on the UK Athletics website means there are high hopes that both sessions will be an 80,000 sell-out." If it comes even close on just one of the two days, that would be amazing. Can anyone the last time a non-Olympic/Worlds meet had turnout exceeding 60k?
Re: London DL meet looking good
Every year in Paris.
Re: London DL meet looking good
Plus, I believe, some years in Berlin and Brussels. With it being a twp day meeting I suspect the cumulative attendance will be some sort of record! It just needs a sponsor now but, hopefully, that will be announced soon.
Re: London DL meet looking goodand in the cart-before-horse department, there is the small matter of the meet's actually being able to come to a financial accomodation with the Bolt camp.
Re: London DL meet looking good
Berlin didn't draw 60,000 for the World Champs, so I'm guessing not for an invite either. The Brussels meet is listed as 47,000 SRO. Paris's '12 attendance was 39,000+ As for 2-day attendance, the US/USSR meet at Stanford in '62 drew 150,000.
Re: London DL meet looking goodIt's five months in the future so anything can happen. But if the turnout is anywhere near the number they're throwing around it would be tremendous for track and field. I couldn't recall any invitational bringing in numbers like that but I'm still a young 'un. Outside of a Worlds or Olympics, getting much past 50k is unusual; I think the Atlanta GP meet in '96 drew about 46k.
It may be nothing more than coincidence but all this good news about the London DL has come out right around the time of Stewart's departure.
Re: London DL meet looking goodlondon is the last diamond league meet before the moscow worlds
and the mens 200 is the sprint event, so if bolt wants to sharpen up before moscow, a 200 is available i don't know what other evennts are availableafter london and before moscow
Re: London DL meet looking good
Perhaps not every year but I believe the attendance was 70,000-plus in 2005. They give away a lot of free tickets which heightens the attendances.
Re: London DL meet looking goodThis will sell out, no problem. I've lost count of the friends and family members who've never been to a meet who have told me they want to get tickets for this.
Re: London DL meet looking good
80,000 rabid fans for two straight days? I'm sure they will find some compensation.
Re: London DL meet looking good
Indeed. The Olympics has exploded interets in sport and Athletics is one of those at the front. people will see this as re-living last summers magical feeling.
Re: London DL meet looking good
from Track Newsletter: "Organizers gave away/sold 67,643 tickets, with 43.328 bodies coming through the turnstiles. Perhaps 25% of the crowd left right after the formal ceremonies." Translation: they didn't actually sell remotely as many tickets as one might have imagine, and in a building that size, the actual crowd for the meet rattled around in it. The reality is that the meet—in the minds of ACOG—a technical runthrough that just happened to be going on following the formal opening of the stadium.
Re: London DL meet looking goodIf Jess, Mo and Usain are in attendance this will sell out both days no problem.
In fact it could probably just be a junior meeting and thousands would flock to it. I think people fom abroad may underestimate the allure of the Olympic stadium after last summer.
Re: London DL meet looking good
The tax has been waived specifically to make sure Bolt comes to London of course he'll be there

Stylist and certified color specialist Deanna believes color treatments should do more than change the hair's appearance; they should improve hair overall. After 12 years and multiple color classes, she has become certified in Scruples hair-color techniques, which are designed to get hair glowing with vibrant reds, brunettes, and blondes while infusing strands with silicone conditioners and safeguarding hair against sunlight by absorbing UV rays. In addition to her high-end hair services, Deanna also primps nails with mani-pedis and artificial nail applications.
Nailing a job interview, taking a spiritual retreat, and heading out for a night with friends—these disparate activities all work to boost one's Oola. Fun to say and satisfying to achieve, you attain Oola when several core factors of your life are thriving. Oola might mean that you're feeling good about your fitness level, finances, career, faith, or relationship with your family, friends, and ant-farm residents. The folks at Oola hope to boost Oola levels nationwide by helping their clients map out their life's goals and how they will go about achieving them. The service also boosts Oola quotients by introducing their members to cool businesses and offering discounts on services including massages, fitness, and mani-pedis.
Lori Baumann, owner of Tangerine Hair Salon, and her experienced staff mold manes with products by Alterna, Redken, and Sojourn. The spacious salon achieves a trendy, urban feel with slate-blue walls, black polished floors, and track lighting. When guests arrive, plush zebra-print chairs greet their backsides while a coffee pot cheerfully percolates beneath an orange and gold floral painting. Stylists craft new 'dos at stations equipped with full-length mirrors and topped with exotic flowers. When they aren't performing haircuts, adding highlights, or curling locks, they subdue frizzy tresses with smoothing treatments and commands shouted in German.
The Parlor Salon and Spa serves as the official styling center for the Milwaukee Bucks Energee! dance team, administering tress-to-toe glamor with a talented team of aestheticians and a full line of Aveda products. Haircuts ($16+) combine a shampoo and styling to condition and manage manes before teleporting them to the lighter side of the spectrum with highlighting services ($65+). Enhance digit decorum with a spa manicure ($29+) and pedicure ($44+), or bring epidermal terrain to infant smoothness with facial ($11+) or body waxing ($18+). A full list of facials rounds out the beautification menu with airbrush tanning ($16+) available for bronzing backsides and counterfeit Grammys.
