Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, there has been an enormous amount of interest in the theory and applications of wavelets. The applications include signal processing, data compression, turning fingerprints into digital data files, subdivision algorithms for graphics, and the JPEG 2000 encoding of images. As a mathematical subject, wavelet theory involves tools from a host of neighboring fields, functional and harmonic analysis, numerical analysis, mathematics of computation, and operator theory.
Wavelets now serve as an alternative to classical Fourier methods, Fourier series and integrals. The reasons for this is that they are better localized, they are better adapted to discontinuities; they have a certain
form of self-similarity, which makes the theory suited for the analysis of fractals and non-linear dynamical systems. The self-similarity properties of the scaling functions connect them to fractals and non-linear dynamical systems.
The multiresolutions offer fast algorithms. The feature of localization for wavelets is shared by related recursive basis constructions from multi-resolutions in Hilbert spaces, for example for fractals and iterated function systems in dynamics. The multiresolutions and locality yield much better pointwise approximations than is possible for traditional Fourier bases.
In signal or image-processing one is interested in subdividing analogue-signals into frequency bands. This idea goes back to Norbert Wiener, but it is of relevance in modern-day wireless signal and image processing. This suggests a representation theoretic framework. The idea is thus to build a representation theory which creates Hilbert spaces H and specific families of closed subspaces in H in such a way that "non-overlapping frequency bands" in our model correspond to orthogonal subspaces in H; or equivalently to systems of orthogonal projections. Since the different frequency bands must exhaust the signals for the entire system, one looks for orthogonal projections which add to the identity operator in H. Since time/frequency analysis is non-commutative, one is further faced with a selection of special families of commuting orthogonal projections. When an iteration scheme is applied to the initial generators, one generates new bases and frames by repeated subdivision sequences; wavelet families as recursive scheme.

Correlations Between Students' Multiple Ways of Thinking About the Derivative and Their Abilities to Solve Applied Derivative Problems
There is extensive research on students' understanding, thinking and difficulties with the derivative and applied derivative problems, however there are very little works correlating the two fields. In this study, the correlations between students' multiple ways of thinking about the derivative and their abilities in solving the applied derivative problems such as related rate and graphing problems are investigated. Fine-grained analysis of the students' written surveys and clinical interviews revealed that students' having two or more ways of thinking about the derivative correlate to their higher abilities in solving applied derivative problems.

My Hawks youth basketball team (ages 11-14) of Redlands fell 42-28 Saturday.
One of my kids got mugged near halfcourt in the game's first minute and I told the refs they had to calling something. So they did … "traveling." That's the way the game went for us as we dropped our fifth consecutive.
Justin Marion led us with nine points, Joe Ledesma had eight and Anthony Yanez four. Remiah Woods tossed in a 3-pointer and was our Player of the Game. Perry Amador II played some nice defense.
At one point we were trying to inbound the ball, but our point guard sort of forgot he had to be there to receive the pass. So one of my big kids from Mentone got ticked and slammed the ball off the hardwood, right over the head of our point guard who belatedly remembered where he was supposed to be.
It was an impressive feat by our inbounds kid, except for the whole deal of us losing the ball and showing a lack of poise. I yanked him from the game … but put him back in later and he played well.
This week we play Coach Diaz's team which has a 5-11 center who is actually pretty good. I'll drape my Mentone maulers on him and hope for the best.

News: Iggy Azalea Isn't Signed To Interscope Records, Says T.I. [Video]
Wednesday, May 16, 2012 4:27PM
Grand Hustle's Iggy Azalea may spark up a new record label bidding war with Atlanta's T.I. revealing the Australian newcomer is currently a free agent despite a perceived Interscope Records signing earlier this year.
According to Tip, record labels still have a shot at signing the XXL Freshman.
Iggy Azalea announced that she had signed a deal with Interscope Records earlier this year, but it may have been premature. According to her Grand Hustle boss T.I., the Aussie rapper is still unsigned. "Iggy is a free agent," Tip told Bu Thiam, VP of A&R at Def Jam, on "MTV's Hip Hop POV." The blonde bombshell had touted a deal with Interscope and a summer release for her debut album The New Classic. "Interscope, if you were wondering," she tweeted in January. "Get used to me + jimmy [iovine] smashing sh*t, cause thats the plan." According to sources, a deal was never actually in place. However, she did release the T.I.-assisted "Murda Bizness," which was billed as the lead single off the album. The Hustle Gang member is currently in talks with other labels including Def Jam. Her EP Glory is due this month. (Rap-Up)
In mid-April, she talked about restructuring her Interscope deal to join Tip's Grand Hustle family.
"I didn't know I was gonna sign to Grand Hustle," Azalea told MTV News, explaining how she managed to stick with both imprints. "There's no way I thought that would happen. Not because I didn't like them, just because my deal was all sewn up, and I restructured the whole thing." The 21-year-old Australian rapper revealed that Interscope chairman Jimmy Iovine was "cool with it," helping her tailor a new deal that pleased all parties involved. "[Jimmy] likes Tip, and they're good friends, so it worked out," she explained. "But it made everybody so confused, because everyone was like, 'I thought she was signed to Interscope; Grand Hustle is with Atlantic.'" (MTV)
A month prior, Tip publicly announced Iggy's addition to his Grand Hustle roster.
"Tip reached out just to meet me, to say hello, and I found a position for him, conveniently, where he could be used," Azalea explained. "And he was down with it; that's the truth." Affectionately referring to Azalea as "The Iggamonster," T.I. also added his recollection of their first conversation. "I think her exact words were: 'It's very smart of you to call me because I'm going to be smashing sh-- for quite some time now and no one will be able to breathe if they're not on my team. So it's good that you'll be here, so you'll have oxygen." In addition to working with Azalea and Trae, T.I. also added British rapper Chip (formerly known as Chipmunk) to Grand Hustle Records. It's set to be a big year for the Grand Hustle family. (RapFix)
Prior to the deal, Iggy discussed joining forces with Interscope Records.
"I think they [labels] have things that they specialize in. Def Jam, I love. I was super close to signing with them. I think they're just the best team. I think they're really passionate about what they do and you can just tell that they're so hungry over there. But then you look at who they've got signed to their label and it kind of makes you be like, 'I don't know. Am I going to be the guinea pig here for this?' I don't know. ... I think once Jimmy [Iovine] saw that I was starting to pull away and be like, 'No, I'll just do my own thing,' he was like, 'What do you want lady?' And I was like, 'Alright, let's cut the bullsh*t.' ... He's crazy. He's like, 'You're the next Tupac!' I'm like you're absolutely insane. But I love it!" (Billboard)

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Nationwide, the chance of surviving a heart attack is 5 percent. The scary part? They can happen to anyone, both the young and old, at any time..
One small, complex machine can often save a life: an AED-auto-external defibrillators.
But why are they not always available where they're needed? Dr. Steven Brooks, an emergency physician at Queen's University in Ontario said that "there was a mismatch between where the cardiac arrests were happening and where we were focusing a lot of our effort in placing these AEDs."
So why would places with so many people needing help not have them? Nick Perreault looks deeper for those answers.

John Berger: Ways of Seeing (1972)
Filed under book | Tags: · aesthetics, art, art criticism, art history, popular culture, visual culture
Ways of Seeing is a 1972 BBC four-part television series of 30-minute films created chiefly by writer John Berger and producer Mike Dibb. Berger's scripts were adapted into a book of the same name. The series and book criticize traditional Western cultural aesthetics by raising questions about hidden ideologies in visual images. The series is partially a response to Kenneth Clark's Civilisation series, which represents a more traditionalist view of the Western artistic and cultural canon.
The book Ways of Seeing was made by Berger and Dibb, along with Sven Blomberg, Chris Fox, and Richard Hollis. The book consists of seven numbered essays: four using words and images; and three essays using only images. The book has contributed to feminist readings of popular culture, through essays that focus particularly on depictions of women in advertisements and oil paintings. Ways of Seeing is considered a seminal text for current studies of visual culture and art history.

"Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Adbusters is a not-for-profit, reader-supported, 120,000-circulation magazine concerned about the erosion of physical and cultural environments by commercial forces. Our work has been embraced by organizations like Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace, has been featured in hundreds of alternative and mainstream newspapers, magazines, and television and radio shows around the world.
Adbusters offers incisive philosophical articles as well as activist commentary from around the world addressing issues ranging from genetically modified foods to media concentration. In addition, our annual social marketing campaigns like Buy Nothing Day and Digital Detox Week have made us an important activist networking group.
Ultimately, though, Adbusters is an ecological magazine, dedicated to examining the relationship between human beings and their physical and mental environment. We want a world in which the economy and ecology resonate in balance. We try to coax people from spectator to participant in this quest. We want folks to get mad about corporate disinformation, injustices in the global economy, and any industry that pollutes our physical or mental commons." (source)

want to re-install SS from scratch
3 July 2010 at 12:22am
Hi all,
I was having issues getting the MySQL db to install properly when using the MS WPI, in that it never seemed to be recognized when it finally came down to installing the silverstripe software itself. I don't know if this makes any sense. It seemed like I was able to finally install it when I chose to install SQLLite rather than MySQL, but after reading more about it, this option might not be the best one for me. I think I should use MySQL.
So, anyway, I thought I would try to do this over again. I deleted all the files I had previously installed, as well as deleted them from the Web host. Now I'm trying to use the WPI to install everything over again, but it remembers the names of the database I had previously tried to install, and I'd like to start from scratch. Any way to remedy this?
Also, how do you enable mod_rewrite on your webserver, and enable permissions? I don't have the faintest idea. Thanks for any help.

Alright, so it looks like I've now got something of a tradition on my hands. Last Sunday I finished the second draft of the novel I've been working on since forever (hooray for me); and though I'm nowhere near having a readable draft, I decided to celebrate, regardless. So I gave myself a break this week…by writing a gritty reboot of Bio-Dome. And as with the reboot of Deuce Bigalow I wrote after finishing the first draft of my novel, I've never actually seen Bio-Dome. In fact, I know next-to-nothing about the movie other than Pauly Shore + Stephen Baldwin + Bio-Dome + drugs = shenanigans. Even my research on the movie extended no further than watching the trailer and looking up character names. Also, I don't know anything about Bio-Domes or science or drugs or…really, anything mentioned in the screenplay I wrote. Except masturbation. I'm really good at that.
Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, Bio-Dome—my gritty reboot of it. So, yeah, this screenplay is the result of nothing but a self-imposed week-long deadline, shit-tons of caffeine, and one night of drunk-writing. With that mind, here you go. Also, you're welcome.

Though it violates the updates policy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy, i have updated python-requests from 0.6.6 to 0.10.8 in Fedora 16 as python-requests is a fast moving young project.
All the packages should land in updates-testing in a few days. Please visit https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-requests to learn more about the updates.
Trip to Sastra University – Trichy
I was invited to visit Sastra university – Trichy for a workshop on Free Software. I joined with Aditya and Srishti at KPN office bangalore. We boarded an air-conditioned sleeper coach by 11.30 P.M and reached Trichy by 6 AM. The road was bit bumpy, i couldn't sleep much. As expected Trichy was much warmer than Bangalore in the morning. Trichy main bus stand has couple of Kamaraj statues. Sristi was surprised to see the 'Golden' statues of kamaraj.
While we were discussing about kamaraj, our cab arrived. The Sastra university is 45 minutes drive from Trichy. It is located between Trichy and Tanjore. We were asked to stay at the Guest house.
By 10 A.M i started my session on Free Software at one of their 'smart classrooms'. I explained students about free software and its importance. My second talk was on GNU/Linux Commands, the talk was based on Stanford universities open classroom session on PracticalUnix. Students tried various commands on their laptops as i explained them. Aditya introduced python and Srishti introduced QT to students on the first day.
We had a good dinner at 'Canopy' Sastra's canteen which is being managed by students. We finished the dinner with a tasty creamy cold coffee sponsored by Srishti. I was very tired after travel; so i went to bed early.
After a good sleep, I started the second day by introducing Django to students. I explained Django by creating a small blogging application. Many students tried to follow my instructions and came up with the small blogging website (Yay!). Next I joined with Sristi and introduced git revision control system to students using Shakthi's 'di-git-ally-managing-love-letters' presentation. The students loved it! Aditya did a workshop on puppet on the second day. We also met the I.T department professor and had a little talk. She presented us with a memento .
By 6.30 P.M we left the college by saying good bye. We had to board the bus at Tanjore. Tanjore is famous for its Brihadeeswarar Temple. It was built on 11th century. We visited the temple and spent some time there. After dinner , we boarded the bus back to Bangalore. Srishti took lot of pictures during the visit (will be uploaded soon)
FUDCon Pune 2011
My flight reached at Pune 15 minutes before the schedule. Vaidik and I planned over IRC to share the cab from airport to the hotel. His flight was 30 mins late. I was not able to reach his mobile phone even after his flight landed. We never seen each other before. Finally i noticed a guy with a 'Drupal' T-shirt, i decided to bite the bullet and asked him "Are you vaidik?" Fortunately the answer was a 'Yes'. By the way vaidik helped us with the fudcon.in website.
While i was waiting for Vaidik to book a cab, I heard some one asking me "Are you going to FUDCon?" that was .Srishti Sethi Gcompris contributor and GSOC student . Apparently she too identified us using our "Geeky" T-Shirts. We three ended up sharing the cab.
Moral : Wear a geeky T-shirt when you are going to a Technical conference.
Back in hotel i met Kushal, Praveen, Soumya aditya (my room mate) and Jared.
Day 1:
We all had breakfast at the hotel and hopped into a van to reach the FUDCon venue. We were welcomed by Amit, Shakthi, Rahul and others Day 1 of FUDCon started with jared's talk. He only used pictures in his presentation and did all the talking. His talk was thought provoking. After the keynote address i went to speaker's lounge to prepare for my afternoon workshop. I met Joerg there. I introduced myself as maintainer of sqlninja. Joerg gave me commit access to security spin's repository. I promised to help him with the future security spin releases..
In the afternoon, I did a workshop on "Practical GNU/Linux" for the students of college of engineering Pune. The workshop was inspired by Stanford's open classroom session named "practical unix" I managed to pull most of crowd from auditorium's to my workshop (evil grin). The slides are available here
Day 2:
After attending Harish's talk on community, I started my talk on Django. I explained folks on how to create web apps using Django using a simple blog application. The slides are available here. My talk was followed by rtnpro's "Testing Django apps" talk. He extended by blog application and added test cases to it. The code is available here . After the talk to our pleasant surprise some one from COEP approached us with half written Django app. We happily helped her fix the issue. In the afternoon i attened jsmith's "publican" talk and Srishti's "cute hacks using pygoocanvas".
In the evening we left for FUDPub. FUDPub was awesome , everything happened on a roof top with DJ and dance.
Day 3: – Hackfest's
Rahul was late to the venue on Day 3 (FUDPub?). I introduced askbot on behalf of Rahul to the people and invited them to join our hackfest. Most of them joined us were new to Django so we had to help them a bit. Then i started working on "Export questions and answers as pdf" feature of askbot. I ended up using "Reportlab" python library for pdf generation. A lot need to be done to complete this feature. I hope i can make most out of my upcoming weekends.
FUDcon was awesome, It was nice to see lot of people face to face.
I had lot of memorable moments at FUDCon, Rahul played a prank on how i stole pair of baby pink coloured slippers from srishti :-) (the baby pink slippers are now talk of the town, read other's blog posts ) The mini push up's competition at FUDPub. Taste of my first beer/cocktail ( i have no plans to drink again ). I am sure events like FUDCon will help bring people together and instrumental in creating a strong community. Thanks Red Hat for sponsoring my travel and accommodation .
I am going to FUDCon Pune 2011
New package: Sqlninja
sqlninja – http://sqlninja.sourceforge.net/download.html a candidate for Fedora security spin is now available in updates-testing repository
yum install –enablerepo=updates-testing sqlninja
The package currently does not include any payload binaries, they can be downloaded from http://sqlninja.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/sqlninja/scripts/
ArpON 2.6 and emacs-goodies 35.0 lands in rawhide
ArpON is a tool that makes Arp Protocol secure by preventing MITM caused by Arp Cache poisoning. There is a new version of ArpON available at http://arpon.sourceforge.net/download.html. ArpON 2.6 has now landed in Fedora rawhide repository.
emacs-goodies package consists of lot of useful Emacs addons . A new version of this package is available at http://packages.debian.org/sid/lisp/emacs-goodies-el. The same will available in rawhide shortly. I also updated emacs-goodies in F15 and F14 branches, that will be a bugfix update for existing version 34.1.
Fedora 15 release event – Chennai
I gave a presentation about Fedora 15 and its features at the monthly meet of Indian Linux Users Group – Chennai. I started my presentation by answering the question "Why Fedora and Fedora project?". Explained them about core foundations of Fedora project and other things at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview.
Then i moved on to the new features in Lovelock. I picked up features Systemd and Gnome 3 and explained them elaborately. I showed them the brand new gnome 3 desktop and informed them about what to expect and what not to expect from it. People were puzzled about the removal of poweroff/reboot/minimize button from the system menu and title bar. I showed them how they can bring back the poweroff/reboot/minimize buttons by installing gnome-shell extensions.
Finally i asked the audience to watch out for Fudcon:APAC, India as the Fedora Indian community is looking forward to conduct the conference later this year. Fedora 15 ISO's, snacks and beverages were served in the end :-)

color-theme on EPEL
Pushed emacs-color-theme for EPEL. I was able to test the EL5 build using centos 5 however i was unable to test the EL6 build as i don't have RHEL6. i would appreciate if some one test the following scratch build on a EL6 machine http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2851061. I am not sure whether it will work. i used the same spec file which i have used for EL5.
On the other news cricscore-applet was updated to 126.96.36.199 on all branches fixing a crash due to python API change.
Fedora presence @ FOSS.in – day 1
This is my first ever foss.in. My flight arrived at bangalore by 8.30 in the morning. It took me nearly 2 hrs to reach my hotel from the airport. Beware if you want to catch a flight you better prepare and go well ahead of the time 'cause bangalore's traffic sucks. I met aditya, amit and shreyank at the hotel and we headed towards the foss.in venue.
Everything started an hour late. The first talk was about wikipedia. Danese cooper CTO of wikimedia foundation gave a talk on the technology that drives the world's fifth largest website. Santhosh thottingal's work on wiki2cd was appreciated by the wikimedia team. wiki2cd helps in creating offline content out of wikipedia.After the talk we met rahul and got our Fedora t-shirts (yay!) .
In the afternoon aditya and i went into meego mini-conf sessions by Nokia. Nokia is really trying to push meego into the mainstream (Good luck Nokia). In the evening the keynote address was given by rahul. He talked on a topic named "Failures of Fedora and what we have learned from them", he gave us insights into what red hat/community did wrong and what they learnt from it. It was an awesome talk. Some points from his talk includes merger of core/extras repositories into a single repo, opening up the infrastructure, focus on improving packaging quality/guidelines, the problems they faced with documentation(because of red hat's initial stand on freeing up the documentation license) , the proposed removal of CLA, the new update policy etc.
Finally we Fedora folks including lennart poettering went into a bar/restaurant and had a very good dinner. Thanks to the community architecture team for everything. We spent lot of time talking about what could be done to improve the project. Harish pillay joined us there later in the restaurant. He explained why LTSP in Fedora needs some love and how it is getting distro centric. We came back to hotel by 11.30 PM.

SchoolOS @ Outreach
I am one of the member of cognizant outreach council (CSR wing of cognizant) . From cognizant we donated refurbished computers to schools. All the computers had pretty decent hardware configurations – mostly they are P4 processors with 256MB of RAM. We donated 15 computers to "pallikaranai – Govt higher secondary school" and 2 computers to "Kannaginagar – Panchayat union primary school".
Most of the computers didn't have any operating systems installed. Some had Windows XP with no applications not even MS – Office. At the end of the day kids are not going to use P4 processors and 256 MB of RAM. They are going to use the applications and content inside the computer.
I learnt about School OS a Linux based operating system, built on top of ubuntu. It is a joint initiative by IIT-Delhi and NCERT – National council for Education Research and Training. The creators of this operating system integrated lot of applications that targets students in schools.
Some of the applications worth mentioning here are,
1. Open Office – A software which is similar to Microsoft office.
2. Stellarium - A desktop planetarium
3. TuxPaint - A award winning drawing/painting program for kids
4. supertux - Addictive super mario type game
5. CodeBlocks - C/C++ IDE which is a better replacement for Turbo-C
6. Gnuplot, Octave- Math and plotting tools
and lot of programs related to maths,puzzles,chemistry,planets.
After getting approval from Outreach folks and my boss i went to ' pallikaranai' school with a bootable usb key and my personal laptop. None of the computers had CD/DVD drive, so i had to install everything from usb and network.
When i was installing SchoolOS. A science teacher came inside the lab. She wanted to type something in Tamil and take a print out of it for the upcoming science exhibition . The computer teacher was using a Tamil Onscreen keyboard in Windows XP. It took her almost 30 minutes to complete typing a sentence in Tamil by clicking the onscreen tamil keyboard. The Geek inside me woke up! I offered them to use school OS. There is something called IBus in Linux , which helps people to type in almost any Indian language. I enabled Tamil- Phonetic keyboard. With Phonetic keyboard if you type 'amma'(mother) it will be converted into tamil equivalent to the sound 'amma' . I know know, with third party software you can enable this feature in windows XP :-) . With GNU/Linux it comes by default. Also the whole SchoolOS user interface can be changed to use Tamil as the default language (Localized desktop).
It took 5 hours to install 10 systems with SchoolOS. I then spent some time with the teachers who used to manage the lab. I asked them to work on the operating system. They picked it up very easily. The teachers were amazed by the stellarium and celestia. I showed them how to use codeblocks IDE to compile and run C/C++ programs. They agreed that it is better than Turbo-C. I had to modify the C++ programs in the book a bit to make it work with the standard GCC compiler.
We are also planning to conduct events/training to students once in a week. To provide content and learning material for students, with the help from Tamil Wikipedia community we started a mini project to download selected articles from Tamil wikipedia and make a CD out of it. Hope everything goes well :-).

There was a series of interesting Tweets on Fox Sports Houston's Twitter account. This is the feed the covers the Rice Owls. With nearly a month until the draft I thought the information was worthy of a fanpost.
Below is the first of a couple tweets that inidcate the Pirates may have Rice's Anthony Rendon on the top of their 2011 draft board.
FSH_OwlsMK Bower With the #mlbdraft a month away, indications are the #pirates are leaning toward Rendon over #UCLA Jr. RHP Gerrit Cole for top overall pick.
And this next tweet was in response to someone asking for a source:
FSH_OwlsMK Bower @ @jkstephan34 Can't reveal source, but it's more than just hearsay. Of course, there's still a month to go and opinions change.
And a followup:
FSH_OwlsMK Bower @ @jkstephan34 Was told #Pirates still believe strongly in Rendon's hand-eye coordination, and everyone knows his defense is exceptional.
And one final draft related tweet that may give you some indication of just how highly regarded Rendon is by his coach Wayne Graham:
MK Bower
#Owls coach Wayne Graham lists his top 4 college hitters over last 20 years: #Vanderbilt IF Pedro Alvarez; #Owls IF Lance Berkman; #GeorgiaTech IF Mark Teixeira; #Owls IF Anthony Rendon.
I know a coach tends to favor his own players but that is some pretty exclusive company. And of course, if the Pirates draft Rendon they will have arguably two of the greatest college hitters in recent memory. At least accoding to Graham.

What Happened to the Real Tax Debate?
A version of this post originally appeared on the author's blog.
Ari Fleischer weighs in:
You wouldn't know this from President Obama's rhetoric, but our tax system, according to a recent report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), is incredibly progressive. Consider: The top 1% of income earners pay an average federal tax rate of 28.9%. (See the nearby table.) The average federal tax rate on the top 20% is 23.2%. The 20% of taxpayers earning between $50,100 and $73,999 pay an average 15.1%, and so on down the line. The CBO report includes payroll as well as income taxes paid…
One reason our country is so divided is because the president keeps dividing us. If taxes need to be raised to fight a war or fund a cause, the president should ask everyone to pitch in. If the need is national, the solution should be national—and that includes all of us.
But that's not how Mr. Obama governs. We learned during the 2008 campaign that he believes in spreading the wealth around. And recently we learned he doesn't believe that successful people made it on their own. Without the government, the president tells us, job creators and entrepreneurs would not be able to make it in America.
It's really the other way around. Without job creators and the successful, the government wouldn't have any money. So next time Mr. Obama meets someone in the top 1% or even the top 20%, instead of saying they're not paying their fair share, he should simply say thank you.
The best response to this I've seen recently is from Eduardo Porter, who in addition to making a compelling case for modestly high tax rates, outlines the history of the lower-taxes-damnit movement over the past forty years and explains the little-known but highly influential Laffer Curve:
Taxpayers always want to pay less to the tax man. Still, there's nothing inevitable about low taxes. In the early 1950s, coming out of World War II, the top federal income tax rate exceeded 90 percent. In 1980, the top marginal rate was 70 percent for families making more than $215,400 — about $587,000 in current dollars. And these families pocketed a much smaller share of the nation's income than they do now. Today, people earning over $200,000 a year capture more than a third of national income.
How we got from that country to this one — where President Obama's attempt to raise the top federal rate to 39.6 percent from 36 percent sets off partisan warfare — had less to do with changing beliefs about fairness than with politics. By the mid-1970s, the Republican Party concluded it was probably more effective to counter Democrats' Big Government platform as the party of low taxes than as the party of budget discipline.
Economics helped them make their case. The sharp fall in tax rates that brought us to where we are today was buttressed by an economic proposition that has guided policy ever since: that raising taxes could backfire and harm the economy along the way.
Legend has it the idea entered the political mainstream during a meeting in Washington in 1974 in which the economist Arthur Laffer demonstrated the principle to Donald Rumsfeld, chief of staff to then-President Gerald Ford, and Dick Cheney, an assistant to the president. He drew a curve on a cocktail napkin — now known as the Laffer curve — to illustrate how tax revenues would increase less and less as tax rates rose until they reached a point where any future increase reduced the amount of money raised.
The Laffer Curve argument against raising taxes above a certain threshold is an important one, and certainly one that has animated the tax debate in this country for the past 40 years, not to mention other high-tax countries. But it's also, as Porter explains, a cheap ace card for conservatives who just want to shrink government and have no real regard for a revenue-maximizing tax code. At the very least, it seems to me, you have to try to push tax rates up like Britain did 2 years ago, see if you hit the Laffer limit, and then lower rates accordingly. You can't just keep lowering and lowering and lowering the tax rate and hope that that's going to spur growth.
Besides the policy implications, the intellectual progression is really interesting here as well. Basically it runs like this. In 1974, Arthur Laffer, a Yale BA and Stanford MBA/PhD in economics puts forth a groundbreaking theory about the non-symmetric relationship between tax rates and government revenue. Between 1979 and 2002, more than 40 countries — mostly high-tax countries in Europe and Asia — take note and begin to adjust their top PIT rates downward, fearing that they've pushed past the theorized Laffer Limit. Eventually, with the theory garnering broad appeal around the industrialized first-world, Peter Diamond and Emmanuel Saez, among other big names in the field, try to offer refinements and new insights, establishing the Laffer Curve as a significant achievement in economics, if not one that has been fully fleshed out or applied yet.
However, before any of this happens, it's Laffer who, during a meeting at the White House, sketches out his theory on a napkin for two Gerald Ford staffers — Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld — and a writer from the Wall Street Journal named Jude Wanniski. They see a moment of opportunity: if revenue doesn't correlate directly with the top tax rate, they reason, then a concerted push could be made through political and media channels for lower and lower taxes for the wealthy. Within a few years, slashing taxes for the wealthy is the key economic initiative of President Reagan, then of President Bush, and then, after a brief hiatus in the 90s, of President George W. Bush. Subsequent to W's presidency, it becomes the single most championed policy goal by the conservative elite, and its "merits" are serially expounded on the Op-Ed pages of the WSJ, often by Karl Rove, Ari Fleischer, and other former members and friends of the Bush-Cheney team.
Regrettably, but none too surprisingly therefore, the tax debate in this country has devolved into an endless series of jabs and recriminations about who's getting shafted the most by current rates and who deserves better. Naturally, everyone has a different view on this. But the debate that began in 1974 with Laffer, unlike the current one, was based not in partisan gamesmanship but in a scholarly effort to break down the mathematics of a difficult and important problem: how to maximize government revenue given a complex, non-symmetric relationship between tax rates and revenue production. What began, in other words, as an attempt to address a macroeconomic challenge with global implications has since turned into a vacuous procession of finger-pointing and self-pity.
The problem is not just with conservatives who would like to see the top tax rate drastically reduced, though. The problem is that the debate is now framed by a false choice between big government and small government. Liberals support their case for high taxes on the rich by claiming that the revenues are needed to fill budget holes, promote equality of opportunity, and close the gap between rich and poor. Conservatives support their case for lower taxes on the rich by defending the role of wealth creators and the virtues of limited government. The Laffer theory cuts against both arguments. Contrary to what liberals would argue, Laffer casts mathematical suspicion on the notion that continuously raising the top tax rate is good for anyone, let alone the government's balance sheet. And contrary to what conservatives would hold, Laffer shows that a top tax rate below (or absurdly below, as the case may be) the Laffer Limit equates to stunted revenues.
Applying theory to governance can be challenging even in the best of times, and in times like these it isn't hard to see why the blame game has been a more appealing option for many. But questions about who to tax and how much, which will remain relevant for as long as there is a republic, must be rooted in a sober realization about the inevitability of taxation for all, a shared understanding of the goal, and hopefully some knowledge of the economic theories upon which many of the talking points depend. That's why it has been so alarming to see this debate become less about how to tax and more about interrogating the institutional legitimacy of taxation. Once we go down that road, math and theory and civil debate really don't matter anymore.

Those of you who've been following along on Twitter know that this has been a fraught week chez raincoaster, but as always, at least it's been good for hits [UPDATE: I can't get away with a tasteless joke on my own damn blog anymore, it seems. What is the world coming to?]. While it's been awful for self-esteem, it's also been kind of awesome, as I see the support I've gotten from the most and least expected places. You know who you are, and I've tried to thank each of you individually. If I missed you, it's my fault, and let me know so I can correct it. The negatives didn't really bother me once the facts got straightened out; it was the support posts, comments, emails and tweets that gave me the sniffles.

text: The Braves need a better idea at lead off. KJ is a good player but is not a traditional lead off hitter. Yunel would be better like Ramirez in FLA but if that is unlikely how about platooning Prada and Johnson at second? Blanco has proved he can hit up here and we are back to the platoon in left, why not second. Johnson OBP is not good enough for a lead off hitter. Prada can hit and I keep hearing "he has nothing left to prove in the minors" give him a shot against lefties and let's see if it works like left field. I realize it is still Apr. but against lefties which we seem to get a ton of, we are not hitting at all.

This means that the flounder fishing is currently outstanding! The relatively warm water is slowing their migration out of the inlets, and they seem to be stacked up waiting for a little cooler water before moving on. That means that big flounder and fluke are still catchable in good numbers.
Where We FishedWe went looking for flounder recently, and we found them under and around almost every dock we fished. They have pretty much moved out of the creeks off the ICW, and have stationed themselves closer to the inlet mouths. So, we concentrated on fishing the docks along the shores of the inlets.
We fished the St Augustine inlet, the St Johns River inlet, and the St Marys River inlet over a two day period. They span an area along the coast of about 60 miles, and the fish were reacting almost identically in all three locations.
Reaction Bite or Feeding Bite?I'm not sure which bite we had, because the way we fished it could have been either. Flounder will lie camouflaged on the bottom with their head pointed into the current. They like to situate behind some type of structure that breaks the current flow – and dock pilings do just that. Whether they were feeding or simply reacting to the lure invading their space, I don't know. What I do know is that they were eating almost anything we put in front of them.
Our TackleWe fished with light action spinning and bait casting gear. We used twelve pound test mono line and a two foot fluorocarbon leader tied to the line with a surgeon's knot. There was no swivel because the baits we used track so good, and I firmly believe that in clear water – which we had – the fish see that swivel and it tends to turn the larger fish off. They did not get to be that big by accident.
Live Bait vs. ArtificialWe spent some time looking for finger mullet. There are still loads of mullet in and around these inlets. We caught some nice four inch mullet and put them in the live well. These are considered by most flounder aficionados to be the ultimate flounder bait.
But, what we found was that the artificial lures we used produced just as many fish as the mullet. And, it did not seem to matter which color we tried. We used swim tail grubs on jig heads and switched colors often. We also switched between swim tails that come in their own fish attractant liquid – like Gulp -and those that were simply made from soft plastic. It did not matter what we used, we caught fish on everything we threw.
The TechniqueRemember, I said that the flounder liked to get behind those pilings in the current? Well, knowing that, we fished each piling as if there were ea flounder behind each one. We would throw up current and work the lure or the mullet along the bottom so as to bring it as close top the piling as possible. If the flounder was there, wham, he nailed the bait.
I watch people fishing pilings for flounder and they make a big mistake. They seem to want to either fish their bait the wrong direction – something that is totally unnatural – or they want to drop a bait straight down behind a piling. Those flounder face into the current so they can ambush bait coming at them. That's the natural direction for the baitfish to travel – with the current. Anything moving against the current will usually be ignored because it does not fit the norm for food. And, dropping a bait straight down on top of a fish usually spooks more fish off than it does anything else.
Bottom LineThis is slow, tedious fishing. Most docks can have upwards of twenty pilings, and trying to position the boat to make a bait presentation on every piling can be tough work. But, which piling do you skip? You may fish ten pilings and give up to go to the next dock, when that eleventh piling is the one holding that 10 pound flounder!
Fishing is all about patience, and flounder fishing with this method takes just that – lots of patience. But, if you take your time and make natural bait presentations, you can bring home a limit of flounder in short order!

Art Professor Russell Dudley and Gallery Coordinator Logan Lape fundraised and planned months in advance to ensure Project Overlook's success on the playa. Below is a discussion with the artists regarding on-the-spot revisions, working conditions and an unexpected pitch with the wind.
In September 2010 a three-credit class known as NWGN 430: Burning Man Installation embarked on a journey to Black Rock City, the third largest city in Nevada for one week out of the year. Twelve students spent the semester planning, building and preparing for this week in the harsh environment of the Black Rock Desert, or "playa." In 2012, due to a lack of tickets, the class is in danger of not happening.

Ocilla-- Workers stumbled upon asbestos, mercury and old X-ray developing chemicals abandoned nearly 30 years ago. Five-hundred pounds of asbestos siding shingles and nearly four pounds of liquid mercury are now sealed in these special hazardous material drums.
State prisoners were cleaning the 4th street warehouse Wednesday so it could be used to store food for the less fortunate.
The chemicals were found when fire chief Mark Taibi was completing his building inspection. "I went in and instructed them to be put into a decon washdown facility, and they have done that. They have a decon unit out there at the prison. They have all been decontaminated and everyone of them are safe. None of them came in contact with the asbestos or the mercury," says Taibi.
Chief Taibi says the warehouse had been used to store military surplus items. An Atlanta hazardous materials recovery company has been hired to come and remove the chemicals. The owner of the warehouse has agreed to pay for the service.

NIKO IS - Steffi Graf
Artist: NIKO IS
Featuring: Action Bronson
Producer: RiskyBeats [of Nu South Music]
Album: Chill Cosby
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 12 total votes )
Those who peeped the visuals for NIKO IS' first feature, Smoking Jacket, likely noticed an Action Bronson look-alike as one of the Rio de Janeiro-born, Florida-based spitter's poker buddies. On Steffi Graf, the second world premiere off NIKO's Booth-hosted forthcoming full-length, the Flushing, Queens buzzmaker actually joins NIKO as a guest rhymesayer. In contrast to the aforementioned cut's laid-back vibe, this cut is all about in-your face swagger; RiskyBeats' wailing sax and rock'n'roll piano back the collaborators as they deliver verses jam-packed with inventive braggadocio. Like what you're hearing? More fresh cuts await on Chill Cosby, scheduled to hit The DJBooth December 3, for free streaming and download.

This morning Rita Ora was out and about in London working a look which I'm sure many of you are already earmarking as a contender for worst-dressed of the year.
I hate to disappoint, but I'm kind intrigued by the look, which consisted of a dip-dyed Just Cavalli short-sleeved furry sweater styled with over-zealously shredded sequinned Ashish jeans.
And to top it all off, she accessorized with a selection of jewels including cuffs in both ears, and playful Sophia Webster 'Sweet Talk' speech-bubble 'Oprah' sandals.
Love, like or a firm no?

Screening for Mental Illness
(part 5 of Mental Health series. Videos 13-15 of documentary The Marketing of Madness below)
Foster children, Military, pregnant women, mental health screening, psychotropic drugs and side effects.
NUMBER OF SIDE EFFECTS: Prozac 1,817, Zoloft 2,194 and Paxil 2,497
Foster children are the most powerless kids in America. They are the first to get a psych screening when they are placed in homes. They are also the most drugged children in the U.S. 60% of foster children in Texas are on at least 1 psychotropic drug, including some as young as 3! In Massachusetts 2/3s of children in state care are being "treated" for mental illness.
The rate of foster children on psychotropic drugs is 3Xs that of children of the general population. You tell me, who is standing up for these kids? The answer is, no one. The drug companies will get customers for life by making sure these children are diagnosed early.
Not only are foster children in danger of being dangerously drugged, our military is in danger as well. Active duty military personnel are routinely screened and many of them are labeled then prescribed dangerous drugs which can cause violent side effects. After an emotional event or to help stay up, for almost any reason you can go to the base psychiatrist and get a pill. Suicide rates have gone through the roof instead of going down. Don't you think if these drugs actually worked there would be less suicides?
Pregnant and women and nursing mothers are in even more danger. At every OBGYN there is a "questionnaire" given that asks certain psychological questions inching toward prof that they have a "mental" condition. Postpartum depression and depression in general are the drug companies way in to their lives. No one even suspects they are being screened.

Candidates running for local office will tell you getting people to care enough to vote is one of their biggest challenges.
Only about 10 percent of registered voters typcally cast ballots in a municipal or school district election. That's sad because, in my opinion, local elections matter the most. After all, these are the folks making decisions directly affecting your city or your schools.
This also is when your vote counts the most. If you don't think so, consider that only three votes separated the Victoria City Council candidates in District 1. You can bet the loser wishes she had somehow persuaded four more neighbors to get out and vote.
At your Advocate, we devote a great deal of effort and resources to writing candidate profiles, broadcating debates, working with the League of Women Voters to present questionnaires, and covering the results on Election NIght. You may review all of the stories online at VictoriaAdvocate.com/ElectionCentral.
We're ready to do it all again for the May 29 primary election. County, state and federal candidates will be on the ballot then.
If you're among the 90 percent who didn't vote Saturday, will you go to the polls May 29? What motivates you to take part in our democracy?

At Capri College in Davenport, students and staff wore green and white Wednesday, December 19, 2012 to remember the victims in Newtown, Conn. At the East Village Cafe, they're showing their appreciation and support by giving away free cups of coffee to teachers until Friday. And the Simpkins family in Rock Island, are packing up their bags and heading to Newtown on Thursday, to spend the holidays with families there.
It's all a way to aid in healing and honor the memory of the victims.
Brooke Woodbury at Capri said the events in Newtown hit the college community hard.
"So many of the students here, staff, faculty, they all have kids. You could just see the terror in everybody's eyes watching the footage on TV... When news of the tragedy broke, everyone was silent."
But today, they have this message for those in Newtown.
"We have support behind them, we know this is not an easy time for them, that people do care for them."
At the East Village Cafe, they're handing out free cups of coffee to teachers to show their appreciation.
"We're all in that same boat, and I know any of the teachers here would probably have done the same thing and our hearts go out, this is our way of saying thank you," says Devin Rojas, owner of the East Village Café.
The coffee shop will keep this up until Friday, as their way of saying thanks.
In Rock Island, Jennifer and Amber Simpkin are packing up to go to Newtown on Thursday, December 20, 2012
"When we were watching, we were crying for these people and it just dawned on us that we cannot do anything from here, so it would just be best if we took our Christmas and do what we could to give to them."
They tell KWQC they don't know exactly what they'll do when they get there, except to just be there for support.
"It could've been our town, it could've been our children. and we would've wanted people to extend their arms the way we're trying to."
The Simpkins will be leaving Thursday afternoon and anyone interested in sending well wishes, notes of encouragement, or any other support to Newtown can contact Jennifer at 563-650-8342 or by email at email@example.com. Amber can be reached at 563-265-4883.
You can also donate to a support fund set up for Sandy Hook Elementary through the Newtown Savings Bank, Newtown, CT.

It was a scary night for several Mulberry residents living in an apartment complex on Diesel Road.
Most likely, they didn't get much sleep. Parts of the back of the apartment complex are collapsing - falling into a lake.
Residents at the quad-plex say they need help - and need it fast before they lose everything.
For many, they have a water view, but it's getting way too close for comfort. In some cases - the entire back yard is now gone.
The underside of the patio is also now exposed – along with the supports and pilings. People who live there say there are cracks in the walls.
The county did come out to inspect the property Thursday, but residents tell us they're not moving fast enough.
"What did you think when this whole erosion thing started? What did you think? I thought oh my god we're going in the water," said Deborah Smith, who lives at the apartment.
The apartments are on a Diesel Road in Mulberry - across from the manmade lake, which used to be a phosphate pit.
There are several single family homes on the other side of the road. One of those homes has already lost the pool in the backyard.
County officials are doing more inspections today, so hopefully we'll know more about the problem.

A species of bird that is completely new to science has been discovered – hiding in plain sight in Cambodia's capital Phnom Penh,The Guardian reports
The Cambodian tailorbird (Orthotomus chaktomuk), as it has been named, was first spotted in 2009 during routine checks for avian flu.
Known for its distinct plumage and a loud call, the bird was discovered by scientists from conservation groups, including WCS and BirdLife International.
The bird was named after a Phnom Penh riverfront area "chaktomuk" — the conjunction of three rivers — where it was found, the (WCS) said in a statement.
"The discovery indicates that new species of birds may still be found in familiar and unexpected locations," Mahood added.
"The new bird teaches us that conservation of birds and other wildlife begins at home and that we can all play a part in protecting Cambodia's wildlife."

An adult ordinarily has three years from the date of the accident to issue proceedings. There are different time limits if the accident happens abroad or on a ship or plane.
A child has three years from the date of their eighteenth birthday to issue proceedings, again different if the accident happened abroad or on a plane or ship.
If an adult does not have full mental capacity then the time limit only starts to run if and when they attain mental capacity.
The exceptions to the above rules is where the date of knowledge of the accident/assault is not the same as the date of the injury itself.
This part of the law on limitation can become complicated so please contact us for further information .

YORKTOWN, Ind. —
The morning of April 28, Lillian Phillips' daughter, Ainsley Jo, was watching an episode of I Love Lucy on TV when it suddenly occurred to her that she was actually watching it — something that she hadn't been able to do since the last part of November 2012, as her TV had no picture, and she couldn't afford to get it repaired or buy an entirely new TV.
Before another 24 hours had passed, she would be at her mom's bedside at The Waters of Yorktown holding her while her soul peacefully left her toilworn 91-year-old body to journey toward the Light of Jesus!
There is more than what's been written here to this story, and it can be found in the blog that Ainsley Jo has begun to build as a tribute to her mom and dad.
The name of the blog is:
Once Upon A Time, There Were Three Bears.
At the time of Lillian's passing shortly after sunrise the morning of April 29, 2013, she was survived by her daughter; one out of six of her siblings (Evan Kermit Jobe of Bloomington); several nieces, nephews, cousins, and their families; and countless friends.
On April 6, 1922, Lillian was born to George Elmer "Greeley" Jobe and his wife, Fayra Kathlena (Chambers) Jobe in the neighborly country village of Cunot in Owen County, the first daughter and fifth of what would be a family of seven: Eli Jasper (too young to be born), George Willard, William Henry MacDonald, Finley Ralph, Lillian Ainsley, Evan Kermit, and Mary Fayra Kathleen.
In the spring of 1939, she graduated from Cloverdale High School.
On Feb. 8, 1947, she would marry her best friend, Raymond Woodford Phillips, for just six days short of 57 years of wedded bliss.
On Dec. 12, 1952, their daughter, Ainsley Jobe Phillips (most commonly known as Ainsley Jo Phillips) was born — their Alpha and Omega, though they became second parents to so many others.
Their church home was Colonial United Methodist, a wonderful place with a warm, friendly congregation.
They were honest and dedicated employees of Delco Remy.
They were just simply good people who, by the way they lived their everyday lives, answered the WWJD? question so beautifully!
Sometime this autumn, a biodegradable urn with Lillian's earthly cremains will be laid to rest in the Cunot Cemetery next to the earthly remains of her forever sweetheart, Ray. There will be a graveside service followed by a fellowship in the home where she grew up.
Ainsley Jo is planning on having several other real life fellowships celebrating the lives of her mom and dad, along with the virtual celebration that she has already launched.
Post online condolences at www.loosecares.com or www.theheraldbulletin.com.

Dwight Howard made his final decision in free agency, after countless meetings, to no longer play for the Los Angeles Lakers,and move his talents to Houston. Have to admit you can't say he didn't make a good decision heading towards theRockets,but was it the best decision for a player of his caliber? Howard's 'excuses' for departing revolved solely around his ego and failure to play under pressure. People can't completely bludgeon D12 for his decision to leave basketball royalty for a team with promise. What they can do is question whether he was really the superstar Mitch Kupchak envisioned in the form of a statue. Kobe Bryant stepped forward and revealed Dwight's true colors with Lakers Execs confirming that the Mamba went at Howard about his imitations and complaints with other teammates during the season. Howard later admitted his decision had nothing to do with Bryant's pitch though. There are reasons to question Howard's 'excuse' for leaving. Nevertheless the big man has found an opportunity to reinvent himself and put an organization like the "Astros" according to Phil Jackson, on the map.
The concept of joining forces with 'The Beard' intrigued Superman. He felt the potential of them growing together could form one of the deadliest combinations such as Big L and Tupac. Howard felt with the young core that the Rockets possess, and the work they've done to make it to the playoffs last season, he has better chance at winning a title than he did with the Lakers. He even went out of his way to say, "I'm betting $30 million on it." Howard felt he was surrounded by a franchise that valued its big men more than LA claiming that with McHale and his million moves in the post combined with working alongside Olajuwon off the court for training, he could learn how to become more of a presence in the paint. Dwight wants his game to be featured and does not wish to be a 'sidekick'. All sound like very valid reasons to bolt to Space City but has anybody actually paid close attention to Howard's comments? Everything that Houston offered D12, Los Angeles has the ability to offer. Maybe Howard is really trying to shadow the fact that he can't play under pressure. I know what people are going to say. "Miguel you must be a Laker fan!" or "Why can't you just let him be?" Truth is Howard can't make a fool out of me. Let me explain:
Howard feels there is potential in a combination featuring Harden and himself to win championships for years to come. Of course he feels like that. Unfortunately, it takes more than two star assets to produce championship aspirations. Take a look at Miami's road to two titles. Equipped with 3 all-stars, they still managed to lose one title to the Mavericks. After the bumpy start though, they found the togetherness Dallas confronted them with and took the league by storm. They recognized sacrifices needed to be made by elite players to transform them from a contender into a champion. Black Mamba and Superman meshing together could've formed a legendary blend of an icon and future legend. Sure Dwight would feel more comfortable knowing that Kobe's legs won't give out this year and hopefully Nash isn't losing durability ,but with that cast meshing together like they did at the end of last year's season proves the Lakers were a team to watch. By Howard committing to the Lakers this season it would push the organization to chase players next offseason to build around him. As the Lakers said they would still pursue Carmelo or Lebron next summer even if they did sign the big man. To be honest, working alongside Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Steve Nash, and Metta World Peace you still have a much higher chance to win a title this upcoming season than you do with Parsons, Harden, and Lin. So the fact is: Lakers can build around Howard as soon as next year. And yes they would sacrifice Pau to do that next offseason. They would even consider having Kobe take a pay cut. Howard is said to be more comfortable with the duo he will be working around in Houston, which included McHale and Olajuwon. As far as post players those are two legends he will be close to. Only problem is don't claim that you will be working around people that can make you far better as if LA doesn't have enough history to show that it knows how to transform centers into basketball gods. The pressure of having to surpass Jabbar, O'Neal, and Chamberlain might be too much to handle. Let alone O'Neal showed Bryant how it's done by winning Finals MVP during 3 of those campaigns. Maybe Howard's problem is he feels like he shouldn't be trying to prove anything to anyone. D12 earlier in the season claimed he wants more post action yet he scored more in D'Antoni's pick and roll than he did with his back to the basket. If so why not show yourself that you can shine brighter than any of those talents before you. You wish to win a trophy but won't sacrifice attention and ball possession for a title. Dwight proved he is not worthy of basketball royalty when he made his decision. He proved he is not a superstar but only an all-star.

Wanganui Axemen's Club hosted the best women's competitors in the country last month and now count four of their own in the national side.
The New Zealand women's woodchopping and sawing trials, in conjunction with the Makirikiri Horse Sports, were held at the MacNab Domain on Kaiwhaiki Rd in mid-January.
Club spokesman Peter McKay said as well as competing in the open events of the wider meeting, the women also had four hours of trialling the next day to make the New Zealand team of eight to take on Australia in Sydney next month.
Julie Rowan, Rochelle Molan, Jackie Brown, along with new member Maria Needham made the squad.
"The women had plenty of competition by way of championships and handicap events in the three disciplines - women's double hand saw, women's single saw and women's underhand," said McKay.
The New Zealand team will face Australia in a three test series at the Sydney Royal Easter Show.
"It was at this show last Easter that the New Zealand women were victorious in winning the series against Australia 2-1, along with placing in their individual events," said McKay.
The other members of the team are captain Sheree Taylor Te Aroha and Darcell Apelu (Auckland), Otaki's Alma Wallace and Riverton's Karen Corbin (reserve). Christchurch's Paula Poasa is the manager.
