A few months ago Verizon started running some pretty obvious ads for those of us who use both Verizon and AT&T. They compared their 3G coverage map to AT&T's. AT&T came up wanting.
AT&T fired back, saying that their 3G network covers 97% of cell phone users, and that it's faster. They further brag that AT&T users can surf the Web while they're on the phone.
I'm sitting here this morning using a Verizon 3G modem connected to my MacBook, writing code for the iPhone in my pocket. On a whim I went to speedtest.net on both the Mac and iPhone to see what the results would be.
Speedtest.net on the iPhone took me to the App Store to download their free native app. On the Mac, Speedtest.net runs in your Web browser. I downloaded the app to my iPhone and made sure both the Mac and iPhone were connecting to the same server in Kalamazoo, MI.
The results of three tests tests on each device are summarized below:
|Run 1
|790 Kbps
|60 Kbps
|205 Kbps
|233 Kbps
|Run 2
|230 Kbps
|60 Kbps
|105 Kbps
|130 Kbps
|Run 3
|430 Kbps
|110 Kbps
|70 Kbps
|190 Kbps
|483 Kbps
|77 Kbps
|127 Kbps
|184 Kbps
|280 Kbps
|156 Kbps
AT&T has an upload advantage, but most mobile Web surfing and email activity depends on download speed, not upload speed. Furthermore, AT&T's overall speed (average of upload and download) is lower. So even if you did an equal amount of uploading and downloading (which would be very unusual), Verizon is faster.
This seems to undermine AT&T's argument that their network, while covering very little of the geographic area of the US, is faster. It appears to me based on my one sample location (Coffee Emporium in Hiawatha, IA) that this is not true.
And while I may be able to surf and talk at the same time with my iPhone, if you read the fine print you'll find out that only applies when you're in 3G coverage. The one time I've needed to do it in the last two years I was not in 3G coverage and therefore couldn't surf while I was on the phone.
The iPhone is a great device and if you live in certain areas of the country very close to an ocean you have great coverage. And the connection speed, while slower than Verizon, is certainly adequate for mobile Web and email activities. I really like my iPhone and recommend them to everyone. However, AT&T is its weak spot.

Steve Levitt helpfully provides a link to the Broda and Romalis paper that Jim Surowiecki references this week, and whose findings I found so startling. After reading the paper, whose findings on inflation rates are by no means easy to pick out, I'm much less startled.
The first thing to note is that when Surowiecki says that "between 1999 and 2005 alone the inflation rate for lower-income Americans was almost seven points lower than it was for the wealthiest Americans," he isn't referring to the inflation rate as most of us think of it, as in the annual rise in prices. Rather, he's talking about the total rise in prices over that six-year period, during which prices rose 2.6% per year for the rich, on average, and 1.6% per year for the poor. So the difference in inflation is one percentage point per year, not seven.
But in fact it's much lower even than that. Surowiecki's looking only at the prices of "non-durable goods" - which are only a part of the total CPI basket. Yes, they're a larger part of the CPI basket for the poor than for the rich. But the poor do buy other things too.
While the richest group in the ACNielsen had a non- durable inflation rate of around 9.5 percent over the 1999 - 2005 period, or 1.5 percent per year, the four poorest groups combined had an non-durable inflation of 6.2 percent, or 1.0 percent per year. The non-durable inflation rate of the poorest income group was 0.5 percentage points smaller than that of the richest group over the 1999 - 2005 period.
Those figures work out to an annual inflation rate for the poor of 2.4%, and an annual inflation rate for the rich of 2.8%. Which means that the inflation rate for the poor has only been 0.4 percentage points lower than it was for the rich - and that's for the period of time in which the Chinese export boom really changed patterns of consumption in the US. It's entirely possible that trend won't continue, especially now that the dollar's weakening and food and energy prices are soaring. (The poor spend a much higher proportion of their income on food and energy than the rich do.)

The more advanced the Contract or the higher its upgrade level, the more each negotiation will cost.
There are two kinds of defensive structures – passive and active.
Passive defensive structures include Walls, Gates, Towers, and Improvements. All of these additions contribute to your Base's total defense bonus, wanting all your defensive units additional combat effectiveness when fighting off attackers This bonus will only be applied to defensive units currently garrisoned in your Base and outside of your Bunker.
Active defenses include Automated Gun Turrets and Artillery Emplacements. Unike Walls, Gun Turrets and Artillery will actively participate in defensive battles just like one of your regular Units- unlike normal Units, when they're damaged they can be repaired and brought back online for free by you or by Friends as many times as needed, granting a considerable long-term advantage. Active defenses also contribute to your overall Defense Bonus. Defensive structures cannot be deployed to locations outside your Base. Note: There is no difference between Gun Turrets and Artillery Turrets aside from their appearance.
WHY DO I NEED IMPROVEMENTS?. All Improvements help increase your Base's Defense Bonus. The mom of these additions you have in your Base, the higher your Units' Defensive rating. Only Units actively defending your Base (not in the Bunker) will receive the Defense Bonus.
Within mains of Zancfian crisis, the international UN peacekeeping force tasked with securing national infrastructure, maintaining order, and providing humanitarian relief withdrew under fire – leaving behind enough strategic stockpiles to supply a major military operation for years. Secure these abandoned Depots to access a free sources of Diamonds, Fuel, Munitions, and Rations. Each Depot contains one of your three main Resources (Refineries – Fuel, Munitions Dumps – Munitions, and Rail Depots – Rations), along with Diamond mines.
There are different sizes of Depots: Large, Medium, and Small. The anoint of Resources produced by the Depot and its capacity depend on its size. The larger the Depot the more Resources it can collect per hour, and the greater its Intel worth When all the Resources at a Depot have been exhausted (or its time limit expires) it will disappear from the Map. The time remaining until a Depot disappears is displayed on the pop-up Map menu, your Command HO, and your Radar.
Visit your Radar to detect new Depots (see the "Radar" section for more). Every new Depots (see the "Radar" section for more). Every new Depot starts off vacant and unguarded – there are advantages to being the first to take one, but be wary of ambushes set by other players. Any player can view the amount of Resources stored lithe Depot by placing their cursor over it.
Your military buildings are where you produce, manage, and deploy ad of your combat units. Each Unit or set of Units is produced at its own building, and construction of some buildings a prerequisite for negotiating certain military Contracts or building more advanced military buildings Military Buildings are non-upgradeable, but you can renegotiate their required Contracts to improve the Unit performance statistics of the units they train.

To construct a Military Building do the following: 1. Go to your Base and dick "Construction". 2. Open the "Military tab and find the building you need. 3. Click 'Build". 4. Choose a place in your Base and start building.
Interaction between players is the heart of the Soldiers Inc. gameplay experience. This covers all the different ways you can influence and engage the other players. There are several ways you can perform actions with other players.
- You can easily interact with your fellow Commanders from the Map interface: Go to Map and dick on other player's Base. You can choose an action (Exchange, Occupy, Raid, etc.) from their Base's pop-up menu.
- You can also interact by visiting their Base. Go to other player's Base. Choose the action you want to perform from the "Action" menu.
Alternately you can conduct most interactions from the Command HO. Use your Command HQ, Joint Ops Center, and Logistics Exchange to perform military actions, conduct Joint Operations, and execute trade transactions.
Read your reports to keep track of your military actions, diplomacy, and resource and referral exchanges. You can also set different Fibers to sort your reports for the most relevant information.
There are three main types of Resources in the game – Fuel, Munitions and Rations. You will need them to construct or upgrade buildings, negotiate Contracts, and produce Units.
To increase your rate of Resource production, construct and upgrade Munitions Factories, Landing Zones, and Oil Derricks and other resource related buildings like the Fuel Silo and Arms Dealer. The total amount of Fuel and Munitions you can store is limited by your Storage Depot capacity. Build and Upgrade more Storage Depots increase your Fuel and Munitions storage capacity.
Resource buildings all manage different aspects of your Resource production and accumulation. The more
Resource buildings you have and the higher their upgrade levels, the more Reources you can produce, accumulate and spend on your war effort. You will need a mix of all Resources for Base development and Unit production.
Each Resource Building has an internal storage. While your resources will never stop accumulation, you may increase your resource flow by frequently clicking on your Resource Buildings to move Resources to your Storage Depots. Upgrading your Field Kitchens allows you to accumulate and store more Rations. A maximum of 3 Field Kitchens are permitted. Fuel and Munitions collection is limited by the capacity of your Storage Depots. Upgrading the Storage Depots allows you to accumulate and store more Resources. A maximum of 3 Storage Depots are permitted.
To build a Resource Building do the following:
- Click "Construction".
- Open the "Resource" tab and find the building you need.
- Click 'Build".
- Choose a place inside your Base and start construction.
Click the "+" button next to the wrench and hammer icon to purchase Engineers. Hiring Engineers allows you to build or upgrade more than one building at a time.
Zheng Shi Holdings Group Locations ZHG Locations are strategic positions across the Zandian countryside that have been occupied by hostile Zheng Shi forces. or that are under imminent threat of Zheng Shi attack. You have been pre-cleared to execute a standing Search and Destroy contract to harass, engage, and eliminate these Zheng Shi strong points at your discretion.
Successfully completing these allows you to: Earn mission items for Global Missions & liberate new Units above your current contracting level
Be advised – while many Zheng Shi Locations may offer valuable recoverable assets (resource caches or
unaffiliated new recruits) – some will offer nothing but high casualties and the opportunity to earn Experience Points. Evaluate your goals and current strength carefully before engaging, and do not waste units you cannot afford to lose. While not every successful mission will offer a reward, each ZHG Location you neutralize for no reward counts towards your eventual payout. Each skipped payout increases your odds of receiving a bonus on your next attempt – so keep trying!.
Every ZHG Location has its own Level, indicating the approximate size and strength of the enemy force. You may attack the same Location as many times as needed in order to destroy all hostile units. All Zheng Shi locations can be viewed from your Radar center on the "Zheng Shi Force" tab.
Radar gives you intel about:
- New ZHG Locations spawning around your Base
- Level and Current Strength of all detected ZHG Locations. Upgrading the Radar has no effect on the number of detected Locations. but will allow you to detect more Depots on the Map.
Send Units to a ZHG Location from the "Zheng Shi Force" tab in your Radar interface. or use the menu on the Game Map.
The Training Center allows you to use Drill Instructors to improve the speed, production time, and Ration consumption statistics of your Units. To get started, go to the "Construction" tab and build the Training Center.
DRILL INSTRUCTORS. Drill Instructors are seasoned professionals that can drive
your Units to be better, stronger, and faster than ever. The Syndicate will send you additional Drill Instructors for attaining higher Experience Levels in the game. The number of Drill Instructors you'll receive per level-up will increase over time:
- Levels 6 — 30,/' 2 Drill Instructors
- Levels 31 – 60,-" 4 Drill Instructors
- Levels SI — 75,-" 6 Drill Instructors
- Levels 76 + Drill Instructors
You can also get extra Drill Instructors by completing successively higher Search and Destroy Mission Levels. Drill Instructors CANNOT be hired at the Black Market or traded.
Click the Training Center to access the Training Program. You will see all production line Units divided into Unit Sets. In order to unlock different Unit attributes and branches of the Training Program. you must progress through each Unit Set subsequently. To get started. use two of you Drill Instructors to unlock the Phase 1 by clicking the "Training Phase I' button twice. You'll notice that assigning each Drill Instructors takes time – this time will increase with each additional Instructor you assign to a Unit.
REASSIGNING INSTRUCTORS. Important, once you've assigned your Drill Instructors,
you only get ONE chance to reassign them for free. To reassign a Drill Instructor, click the 'Reassign' button at the top of the Training Program. and then click the '-" symbol next to the Instructor you want to reassign when you have reassigned the Drill Instructors you want. 'Assign' to
make your changes permanent. You may now assign your Drill Instructors as you would normally [this includes the wait time while they are being assigned).
You can use your military Units to protect your Base, raid or occupy other Bases. and concoction operations on the Zandian battlefield. You will also need them to engage in Search and Destroy Missions. All Units are divided into four different categories (Light Infantry. Heavy Infantry. Armor and Combat Aviation) based on their speed. power. and performance statistics. Offensive Units have Offensive
ratings that apply across all categories. while Defensive Units have varying levels of effectiveness against each category.
Negotiate Contracts a1d construct Buildings to unlock new. more powerful Units. Renegotiate Contracts to increase their combat effectiveness.

Starkville School District maintained its successful accountability rating and slightly increased its overall Quality Distribution Index, according to the Mississippi Department of Education.
Ward Stewart (grades 3-4), Henderson (grade 5) and Starkville High School (grades 9-12) received individual successful designations from MDE, while Armstrong Middle School was downgraded to an academic watch designation. The district's five-year graduation rate was measured at 71.8 percent.
Accountability results are based on state scores from the Mississippi Curriculum Test 2 (MCT2) and the Subject Area Testing Program (SATP).
Since 2011, the district's overall QDI score increased four points to 155. Individually, Ward Stewart (164) and Henderson (158) saw increases to their QDI scores — a 16-point and 14-point jump, respectively. Ward Stewart's 2012 QDI score — 164 — places the school 2 points shy of a high performing designation.
While two district schools saw QDI increases, SHS and AMS both experienced drops. Although SHS maintained its successful rating with a 163, its score experienced a 14-point decrease. AMS experienced a 3-point drop — 152 to 149 — and its accountability rating was downgraded because it did not meet state-mandated growth requirements.
In a release, SSD Superintendent Lewis Holloway said he is impressed with district educators' hard work and their students' results in an ever-changing environment. The district, he said, has identified areas to increase educational efforts and realign resources to provide additional support.
"We're disappointed with these (QDI drops), and we're not where we would like to be," he said in the release. "We have a significant gap between our highest and lowest performing students. We would like to see more growth, and we would like for that growth to be accelerated."
According to school district officials, that achievement gap identifies SSD as a focus district according to the new federal accountability model for Mississippi.
The new federal model is the result of a waiver the state received from the requirements of No Child Left Behind.
SSD will soon utilize Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessments to provide students with individual education plans. MAP, an online testing program, provides detailed reports on students' academic strengths and weaknesses, and plans to help guide instruction.
"That's why the district is moving to the MAP assessment, which in my opinion is a far better testing instrument," Holloway said in the release. "It's going to provide the teachers and parents a wealth of information on what students need to be learning to make a year's progress.
"The MAP assessment will give teachers and parents the exact items that students need to learn," he added. "For the first time, teachers will know specific items a student must be taught to be on grade level."
SSD Board of Trustees President Keith Coble said MAP testing is a step in the right direction for the school district. While Coble said he was proud of the district's overall rating and the individual schools' improvement, he said officials should focus on improving scores across the board.
"I think we've had a very productive conversation with Dr. Holloway about our results. I appreciate the proactive stance the administration has taken so far," Coble said. "We're very happy to see progress, but obviously we … want to see the other schools' grades come up. I think we'll hear answers (on how to deal with lower QDI scores) in the next few weeks."
The MCT2 is scheduled for replacement in 2015 with a new online assessment aligned with Common Core standards, another reason SSD is implementing MAP testing. MAP is already aligned with those core standards, Holloway said in the release.
The new federal accountability model, referred to as Mississippi's Differentiated Accountability Model, also requires 85 percent of students to be proficient and advanced by 2017.
"We believe that is a realistic goal for the Starkville School District," Holloway said in the release.

Dream matches: WWTNA's prediction
by, 04-21-2011 at 08:57 PM (3855 Views)
As I was thinking about Rock/Cena's match, I got to thinking that this was a match people have wanted to happen and have really pushed for this match since Rock came back to WWE. It really took so long for this match to happen and now it will happen at Wrestlemaina 28. This goes to show you that anything is possible in the WWE. Now there maybe matches that has a chance of happen and there is matches in WWE that may never happen. Here is the list of dream matches that I see happening:
Stone Cold vs CM Punk
These guys are really hinting a match somewhere down the line. They are kayfabing a feud on Twitter and both are opposites from each other. I don't know if this match is happening anytime soon but i'm not going to doubt it either.
Sting vs The Undertaker
We all expected this match to happen, we wanted this match to happen. This match could have been done this year at Wrestlemaina 27 but Sting declined the offer because of his pride. IMO, I really think Sting should just let his pride go and just accept the offer in the near future but you never know with Sting. Will this match happen? Yes, I think it will happen and I look will really look forward to this match in the future.
Jack Swagger vs Kurt Angle
Both are very similar in a way. Both are excellent techinacl wrestlers and are legit badass wrestlers. They also have the patriotic gimmick. One is an All-American American and another is a USA Olympic Gold Medalist. The only problem in the way of this match happening is Angle in TNA and has fatith in TNA to keep resigning contracts with them. It will come a time when Angle returns to the WWE and we will see Swagger and Angle cross paths and I rest assure you we will see this match in the future.
Booker T vs Kofi Kingston
Both wrestlers have been compared with one another over the years and they are both on Smackdown. Call me crazy but Booker has hinted or planted the seeds between a Kofi/Booker T storyline. I know that this match will happen, I just know it.
Kevin Nash vs Wade Barrett
I have a feeling that this match will happen in WWE. You can see when Diesel competed in the 2011 Royal Rumble that they were hinting a match with Barrett and Diesel/Nash down the line. I know it wouldn't be the greatest match in the world but it would be nice to see the 90's Diesel gimmick take on a young, rising star Wade Barrett.
Daniel Bryan vs Shawn Michaels
Now I know Shawn is retired and his last match will be with The Undertaker but I believe this match will happen. Shawn can easily come out in retirement for one more match and do like a teacher vs student type of match with Daniel Bryan. If this match were to happen, knowing how Shawn and Bryan are in the ring, that will be one hell of a match. Still have feelings this match will happen no matter what.
Well these are the match I feel will happen either this year or sometime in the future.

Many of the country's legislative practices derive from the unwritten conventions of and precedents set by the United Kingdom's Westminster parliament; however, Canada has evolved variations. For example, party discipline in Canada is stronger than in the United Kingdom, and more parliamentary votes are considered motions of confidence, which tends to diminish the role of non-Cabinet Members of Parliament (MPs). Such members, in the government caucus, and junior or lower-profile members of opposition caucuses, are known as backbenchers. Backbenchers can, however, exert their influence by sitting in parliamentary committees, like the Public Accounts Committee or the National Defence Committee.
Currently, the Senate, which is frequently described as providing "regional" representation, has 105 members appointed by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister to serve until age 75. It was created with equal representation from each of Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime region. However, it is currently the product of various specific exceptions, additions and compromises, meaning that regional equality is not observed, nor is representation-by-population. The normal number of senators can be exceeded by the monarch on the advice of the Prime Minister, as long as the additional senators are distributed equally with regard to region (up to a total of 8 additional Senators). This power of additional appointment has only been used once, when Prime Minister Brian Mulroney petitioned Queen Elizabeth II to add eight seats to the Senate so as to ensure the passage of the Goods and Services Tax legislation.
The House of Commons currently has 308 members elected by a plurality of popular votes in separate constituencies (ridings) for mandates that cannot exceed five years. This fixed mandate has been exceeded only once, when Prime Minister Robert Borden perceived the need to do so during World War I. The size of the House and apportionment of seats to each province is revised after every census, conducted every five years, and is based on population changes and approximately on representation-by-population.
The election of a local MP gives a seat to one of the several political parties. The party that gets the most seats normally forms the government, with that party's leader becoming prime minister. The Prime Minister is not directly elected by the general population, although the Prime Minister is directly elected as an MP within his or her constituency.
Canada's parliamentary system empowers political parties and their party leaders. Where one party gets a majority of the seats in the House of Commons, that party is said to have a "majority government." Through party discipline, the party leader, who is only elected in one riding, exercises a great deal of control over the cabinet and the parliament.
A minority government situation occurs when the party that holds the most seats in the House of Commons still holds less than the opposition parties combined. In this scenario a party leader is selected by the Governor General to lead the government, however, to attempt to create stability, the person chosen must command the support of at least one other party.
Federal-provincial (or intergovernmental, formerly Dominion-provincial) relations is a regular issue in Canadian politics: Quebec wishes to preserve and strengthen its distinctive nature, western provinces desire more control over their abundant natural resources, especially energy reserves; industrialized Central Canada is concerned with its manufacturing base, and the Atlantic provinces strive to escape from being less affluent than the rest of the country.
In order to ensure that social programs such as health care and education are funded consistently throughout Canada, the "have-not" (poorer) provinces receive a proportionately greater share of federal "transfer (equalization) payments" than the richer, or "have," provinces do; this has been somewhat controversial. The richer provinces often favour freezing transfer payments, or rebalancing the system in their favour, based on the claim that they already pay more in taxes than they receive in federal government services, and the poorer provinces often favour an increase on the basis that the amount of money they receive is not sufficient for their existing needs.
Particularly in the past decade, some scholars have argued that the federal government's exercise of its unlimited constitutional spending power has contributed to strained federal-provincial relations. This power, which allows the federal government to spend the revenue it raises in any way that it pleases, allows it to overstep the constitutional division of powers by creating programs that encroach on areas of provincial jurisdiction. The federal spending power is found in s. 102 of the Constitution Act, 1867. A prime example of an exercise of the spending power is the Canada Health Act, which is a conditional grant of money to the provinces. Delivery of health services is, under the Constitution, a provincial responsibility. However, by making the funding available to the provinces under the Canada Health Act contingent upon delivery of services according to federal standards, the federal government has the ability to influence health care delivery. This spending power, coupled with Supreme Court rulings — such as Reference re Canada Assistance Plan (B.C.) — that have held that funding delivered under the spending power can be reduced unilaterally at any time, has contributed to strained federal-provincial relations.
Monarchs, Governors General, and Prime Ministers are now expected to be at least functional, if not fluent, in both English and French. In selecting leaders, political parties give preference to candidates who are fluently bilingual.
Also, by law, judges from Quebec must hold three of the nine positions on the Supreme Court of Canada. This representation makes sure that at least three judges have sufficient experience with the civil law system to treat cases involving Quebec laws.
The predominant and lingering issue concerning Canadian national unity has been the ongoing conflict between the French-speaking majority in Quebec and the English-speaking majority in the rest of Canada. Quebec's continued demands for recognition of its "distinct society" through special political status has led to attempts for constitutional reform, most notably with the failed attempts to amend the constitution through the Meech Lake Accord and the Charlottetown Accord (the latter of which was rejected though a national referendum).
Since the Quiet Revolution, sovereigntist sentiments in Quebec have been variably stoked by the patriation of the Canadian constitution in 1982 (without Quebec's consent) and by the failed attempts at constitutional reform. Two provincial referendums, in 1980 and 1995, rejected proposals for sovereignty with majorities of 60% and 50.6% respectively. Given the narrow federalist victory in 1995, a reference was made by the Chrétien government to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1998 regarding the legality of unilateral provincial secession. The court decided that a unilateral declaration of secession would be unconstitutional. This resulted in the passage of the Clarity Act in 2000.
The Bloc Québécois, a sovereigntist party which runs candidates exclusively in Quebec, was started by a group of MPs who left the Progressive Conservative (PC) party (along with several disaffected Liberal MPs), and first put forward candidates in the 1993 federal election. With the collapse of the PCs in that election, the Bloc and Liberals were seen as the only two viable parties in Quebec. Thus, prior to the 2006 election, any gain by one party came at the expense of the other, regardless of whether national unity was really at issue. The Bloc, then, benefited (with a significant increase in seat total) from the impressions of corruption that surrounded the Liberal Party in the leadup to the 2004 election. However, the newly-unified Conservative party re-emerged as a viable party in Quebec by winning 10 seats in the 2006 election, meaning that Quebecers' electoral choices are now more complex.
Western alienation is another national-unity-related concept that enters into Canadian politics. Residents of the four western provinces, particularly Alberta, have often been unhappy with a lack of influence and a perceived lack of understanding when residents of Central Canada consider "national" issues. While this is seen to play itself out through many avenues (media, commerce, etc.), in politics, it has given rise to a number of political parties whose base constituency is in western Canada. These include the United Farmers of Alberta, who first won federal seats in 1917, the Progressives (1921), the Social Credit Party (1935), the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (1935), the Reconstruction Party (1935), New Democracy (1940) and most recently the Reform Party (1989). The Reform Party's slogan "The West Wants In" was echoed by commentators when, after a successful merger with the PCs, the successor party to both parties, the Conservative Party won the 2006 election. Led by Stephen Harper, who is an MP from Alberta, the electoral victory was said to have made "The West IS In" a reality. However, regardless of specific electoral successes or failures, the concept of western alienation continues to be important in Canadian politics, particularly on a provincial level, where opposing the federal government is a common tactic for provincial politicians. For example, in 2001, a group of prominent Albertans (including Harper) produced the Alberta Agenda, urging Alberta to take steps to make full use of its constitutional powers, much as Quebec has done.
The Liberal Party of Canada, under the leadership of Paul Martin, won a minority victory in the June 2004 general elections. In December 2003, Martin had succeeded fellow Liberal Jean Chrétien, who had, in 2000, become the first Prime Minister to lead three consecutive majority governments since 1945. However, in 2004 the Liberals lost seats in Parliament, going from 172 of 301 Parliamentary seats to 135 of 308, and from 40.9% to 36.7% in the popular vote. The Canadian Alliance, which did well in western Canada in the 2000 election, but was unable to make significant inroads in the East, merged with the Progressive Conservative Party to form the Conservative Party of Canada in late 2003. They proved to be moderately successful in the 2004 campaign, gaining seats from a combined Alliance-PC total of 78 in 2000 to 99 in 2004. However, the new Conservatives lost in popular vote, going from 37.7% in 2000 down to 29.6%. In 2006 the Conservatives, led by Stephen Harper, won a minority government with 124 seats. They improved their percentage from 2004, garnering 36.3% of the vote. During this election, the Conservatives also made major breakthroughs in Quebec. They gained 10 seats here, whereas in 2004 they had no seats.
This was the second minority government in Canada federally since 1979-1980. That government, led by Joe Clark, lasted only seven months. The situation, however, was different. The Clark government was elected in part because many voters did not want to support the Liberal party, but they did not expect that the Progressive Conservatives would win enough seats for a minority government.
Minority governments are not always short-lived. While they have not generally lasted four years, there have been minority governments in the time before 1979 that were fairly stable and able to pass legislation. Minority government situations in Canada may become somewhat difficult to manage though, as in the past there were only three parties that had a significant number of seats in parliament (fourth parties were at times represented in small numbers), although the third party has changed over time. This meant an alliance between the governing and third parties would have a solid majority. Since the 1930s, the third party was usually the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation or later the New Democratic Party, which was created when an alliance was formed between labour unions and the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation. The Social Credit Party of Canada was the third party at times. Before this, there were other parties that had significant influence; such as the Progressive Party in the 1920s.
No such governing coalition was able to form in the 38th Parliament.
A good part of the reasoning behind the change in funding was that union or business funding should not be allowed to have as much impact on federal election funding as these are not contributions from citizens and are not evenly spread out between parties. They are still allowed to contribute to the election but only in a minor fashion. The new rules stated that a party had to receive 2% of the vote nationwide in order to receive the general federal funding for parties. Each vote garnered a certain dollar amount for a party (approximately $1.75) in future funding. For the initial dispersement, approximations were made based on previous elections. The NDP received more votes than expected (its national share of the vote went up) while the new Conservative Party of Canada received fewer votes than had been estimated and has been asked to refund the difference. It should be noted that the province of Quebec was the first province to implement a similar system of funding many years before the changes to funding of federal parties.
Federal funds are disbursed quarterly to parties, beginning at the start of 2005. For the moment, this disbursement delay leaves the NDP and the Green Party in a better position to fight an election, since they rely more on individual contributors than federal funds. The Green party now receives federal funds, since it for the first time received a sufficient share of the vote in the 2004 election.
Commonly, two national debates receive nationwide coverage during an election, one in each official language. Both debates are broadcast in translation, so it is possible to watch either debate without a working knowledge of the language of the debate, although part of the meaning can be lost. People who are bilingual enough to understand both the English- and French-language debates without need of translation will get a better idea of the substances of the two debates and the differences between them if they decide to watch both debates.
Currently only the parties represented in Parliament participate in the debates. The Green Party, however, has argued that it should also be allowed to participate. Its share of the vote has increased greatly, due in part to the new funding formula, in part because it ran in many more ridings than in previous elections (it nominated candidates in every riding in the 2004 and 2006 elections), and in part to increased popularity. Thus the argument goes that if there is sufficient national support to earn official recognition as a party (i.e., one that is granted funding based on getting 2% or more of the national vote) it should also be allowed to debate on the same level as the other officially recognized parties.
Also, having received 6% of the vote in British Columbia and based on past precedent, the Greens will have a stronger case for being included in the debates in future elections. The Bloc Québécois was allowed to participate in debates on the basis of its support in Quebec - even before it had elected any MPs in a general election (the only Bloc's MPs at the time had either switched parties or won in by-elections). Furthermore, on the basis of anticipated support, the Reform Party of Canada was included in debates despite only having a single MP. Therefore, past party performance or number of seats is not how participants are chosen.
In 2007, news emerged of a funding loophole that "could cumulatively exceed the legal limit by more than $60,000," through anonymous recurrent donations of 199 dollars to every riding of a party from corporations or unions.

I added some pomegranates and then let them style the centerpiece. I think they did pretty well with their composition, all things considered. It's certainly better than my failed spray paint attempt. They keep asking if these are edible though. Anyone know the answer to that?

Though it is a bit out of the center of Barcelona (about 20 minutes with the underground) it is easily accessible, even during the night. There are night busses to Barcelona and to the airport. On the plus side there is a beach within 5 minutes walking distance.

The departure of Chancellor Joel Klein from the New York City School system marks a real change in the guard. Klein held that position for eight years and brought a measure of stability and toughness to public school administration that was surely lacking before his arrival. Yet by the same token the established power of the teachers and the principals unions limited what he could do to make major structural reforms in the delivery of educational services.
The major task that faces Cathie Black, chairwoman of Hearst Magazines and Klein's designated successor, is to move relentlessly on that issue in an effort to obtain greater level of flexibility in the hiring, firing and promoting of teachers. Black also needs to see as her mission the effort to expand the number of charter schools, and to do whatever she can to develop any and all alternatives to a system that is far too large and ossified for its own good.
The mayor can, and should, be pleased with some of the improvements of the past several years. But those were improvements that were made from a very low base, and much remains to be done to bring the level of education up to where it should be.
Some measure of the challenges that await Black are the apparent gap between the best of the charter schools and the run-of-the-mill public schools where too many teachers think of tenure as a sinecure that spares them the need for serious innovation on the educational front. I don't think that any school should ever give up on its students. A full-court press by teachers to get the best out of hard-to-teach children requires strenuous effort and a willingness to set high expectations for kids who don't seem to merit that form of confidence.
Education is not my area, but a knowledge of economics and industrial structure is something that I encounter all the time in teaching in such fields as regulated industries and antitrust law. From the outsider's perspective the deferred maintenance on the New York City School position remains enormous. Let us hope that Cathie Black can take executive skills that are honed in other areas and use them to shape up a system that still has a very long way to go. The Mayor should celebrate today. Tomorrow it is time to get down to work.
Good luck.

$500 Million Downtown Austin Redevelopment Planned
AUSTIN (Austin American-Statesman) – The Austin city council announced plans yesterday for the redevelopment of the Green Water Treatment Plant site downtown.
The half-billion dollar vision is expected to include 826 apartments in two 30-story high-rise towers, a 28-floor office building, a 17-story hotel, and 82,000 sf of ground-level retail space. In all, Trammel Crow envisions 1.75 million sf of development on the 4.4-acre site, which the firm would purchase for $42.4 million.
Trammell Crow won the bid in 2008 to negotiate for the purchase of the site, and now expects to break ground on the first apartment tower later this year. Adam Nims, a principal with Trammell Crow, announced that 87 of the apartment units in the first tower will be considered below market rate.
The city council will make its final vote on Trammell Crow's purchase of the site April 5.
Phony Homestead Tax Email Targets Seniors
HOUSTON (Harris County Appraisal District) – Although an email continues to circulate urging voters this May to keep the homestead tax cap for elderly and disabled homeowners in Texas, there will be no homestead tax amendment on the ballot. And for good reason: The issue was taken care of five years ago.
According to the Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD):
"In May, 2007, Texas voters approved Proposition 1, a constitutional amendment providing property tax relief to elderly and disabled homeowners. Planning for the approval of the constitutional amendment, legislators approved HB 5. HB 5 provided tax relief to senior citizens and disabled persons by ensuring school tax ceilings were reduced proportionally to reflect school tax rate reductions granted to all other property owners."
The information in the email is invalid.
Corpus Christi Outlet Project Back on Track
ROBSTOWN (Corpus Christi Caller-Times) – The long-planned Outlets at Corpus Christi Bay are closer to reality, a developer of the retail mall said.
While Dolphin Ventures works to cement financing arrangements and agreements with tenants, they hope the first 290,000 sf of the $62 million project will open by late 2013.
A sign on the 50-acre site at US 77 and SH 44 in Robstown had promised a 2011 opening date, but the recession and tighter lending regulations held the project back.
Rick Carduner of Dolphin Ventures hopes the addition of Iowa-based Lockard Companies to the project development team will aid in financing and attracting tenants.
Robstown is about 20 miles west of Corpus Christi.
Austin Expensive for Renters
AUSTIN (Austin Chronicle) – According to a report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition, Austin is the most expensive city in Texas for renters earning minimum wage.
Whereas in Texas, a full-time worker must earn at least $15.88 per hour to cover fair market rent of $826 for a two-bedroom apartment, Austin employees must earn $19.02 to cover their housing expenses.
Fair market rent is $944 for a two-bedroom unit in Austin.
Kathy Stark, executive director of the Austin Tenants' Council, adds that it's not just rents that are rising in Austin.
"Water bills went up, wastewater went up, and electric is proposed to go up. And all of those increases are huge, and they impact directly on a tenant's ability to live where they want to live," Stark said.
Grapevine Code Changes Encourage Development
GRAPEVINE (Fort Worth Star-Telegram) – In a push to get more apartment projects approved in Grapevine, city officials unanimously approved changes to the building code, specifically parking and green space requirements.
The changes came after city council members asked the local planning and zoning commission to determine whether variances requested in recent apartment proposals were in line with current industry practices.
Under the revised code, developers are now required to provide only two parking spaces per apartment unit, rather than 2.5. Where garages are integrated into the buildings, tandem parking will also be allowed, meaning that a second car can park in front of the garage. Parking can also be included closer to primary street frontage, provided a landscaping berm is built in between.
Aside from parking changes, developers will now also be required to provide at least 250 sf of open green space per apartment unit.
Larry Oliver, chairman of the planning and zoning commission, expects that the open space requirement will give residents a view of "something green rather than asphalt."
Austin, Fort Worth Tops in Real Estate
AUSTIN (Austin Business Journal) – Texas takes two spots on the National Association of Realtor's list of ten best real estate investment markets.
Austin takes the number two spot, while Fort Worth ranks fifth.
Tucson, Ariz., topped the list of the 146 investment markets that Realtor.com ranked. Kansas City, Mo., fell just behind Austin, followed by Baltimore.
Mesquite Shopping Center Sold
MESQUITE (GlobeSt.com) – Dallas-based The Retail Connection and North American Development Group, a Canadian shopping center acquisition and development company, have purchased Towne Center Plaza in Mesquite.
The 94,109-sf center is on 8.8 acres. It is 76 percent occupied. Tenants include Bed Bath & Beyond and Best Buy. The Retail Connection hopes to finalize a lease soon on the space recently vacated by Borders bookstore.
The Los Angeles-based seller was asking $12.25 million for the ten-year-old property, but the final selling price was not disclosed.
Phillips 66 to Call Houston Home
HOUSTON (Houston Business Journal) – Phillips 66 will house its new headquarters in Houston, not far from ConocoPhillips, the company it will split from this summer.
Rather than find a new area for its home base, Phillips 66 employees are expected to locate just ten miles from the current ConocoPhillips headquarters. Although the new site has not been identified, they plan to build near I-10 and Beltway 8.
Phillips 66 employees will be housed temporarily in Westlake Park on Memorial Dr. as well as in another building in the Westchase area, while ConocoPhillips employees will be consolidated to its 2.3 million-sf complex on 600 N. Dairy Ashford Rd.
Construction on the new headquarters is expected to take two to three years.
Red Zone: Tips on Negotiating Pipeline Easements
COLLEGE STATION (Real Estate Center) – Natural gas drilling in Texas' shale regions may be lucrative for mineral rights owners, but it can be a headache for landowners with surface rights who are unprepared to negotiate with pipeline companies.
On this week's Real Estate Red Zone podcast, Real Estate Center attorney Judon Fambrough offers landowners tips on negotiating gas pipeline easements and walks them through the condemnation process.
Also, Bryan Pope and Edie Craig cover the latest real estate news out of Rockport, Pflugerville, Pharr, Houston, Dallas, Austin and Waco.

flightglobal.com has obtained images of the second Airbus A380 for Singapore Airlines (SIA), which has recently been handed over to the flight test team in Toulouse, which shows the aircraft without the carrier's tail art (pictured below).
The aircraft (manufacturer's serial number 005) has been transferred to the flight test department to be prepared for its first flight, after which it will be ferried to Airbus's Finkenwerder plant in Hamburg for outfitting, where it will sit next to MSN003. Airbus says it expects to perform MSN005's first flight "within weeks". However, unlike the other four A380s for SIA to have completed assembly, which are currently undergoing rewiring and testing in Toulouse, MSN005 is lacking SIA's logo of a golden bird with outspread wings, against the deep midnight blue of the tail. The tail does feature the yellow stripe along the tail. This omission of the bird has led to speculation that SIA may choose a special livery for the aircraft.
SIA has celebrated its fleet choices previously, giving monikers to its aircraft such as Megatop for its Boeing 747-400s, Jubilee for its 777s and the now-defunct Leadership for its A340-500s. Each of these aircraft types has been accompanied by a one-off paint scheme.

When a penguin chick begs for food, it makes its siblings' hearts flutter. Begging calls encourage a chick's parents to regurgitate freshly collected food. But by recognising its siblings' calls, a wandering chick can home in on its parents to get its share of the spoils, say Shinichi Nakagawa and Joe Waas of the University of Waikato in Hamilton, New Zealand.
They measured the heart rates of penguin chicks while playing back calls from siblings, unknown chicks and neighbours (
