I hope you will find this website useful in keeping you updated with what is going on in and around the Clayfield Electorate as well as in State Parliament. If you have any suggestions on how you would like to see our electorate improved please let me know.
If you have any issues please contact my office.
Kind regards,
The 2015/16 Federal Budget is all about assisting families and small business; it delivers jobs, growth and aims to return Labor's budget to surplus as soon as possible.
As the Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Planning, Small Business, Employment and Trade I welcome what has been praised as the friendlist budget to Small Business and provides unique advantages for the Private Sector in Infrastructure.
Some of the key benefits to Small Business include:
Also included in this years Budget is $6 billion towards three Free Trade Agreements with
These key budget measures will greatly assist in employing Australians looking for work.
Contrast to Federal (and state) Labor, the Coalition has a plan to return Australia into prosperity not seen since the Howard years.
In Bill Shorten's Budget Reply speech, Bill Shorten promised a lot, but one thing he didn't promise was a Plan on how to pay for all of his promises.
If Federal Labor are elected in 2016, we'll have a Clueless Labor Government in Queensland and one in Canberra. Disastrous.
I commend the Federal Coalition for their tremendous work on the Budget and look forward to seeing the benefits of this Budget within my own Portfolio.
Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Planning, Small Business, Employment and Trade
Member for Clayfield Tim Nicholls will take on the shadow Infrastructure, Planning, Small Business, Employment and Trade portfolio as part of the newly structured LNP team.
Mr Nicholls said he hoped to build on the strong economic credentials he established as Treasurer and Minister for Trade in the former Government.
"I look forward to working with the new LNP Shadow Cabinet to ensure Queenslanders get the benefits of the hard work we put into the last term of government," he said.
"It's no secret that the current Labor Government fell across the line with no plans or policies to either build or indeed to pay for the infrastructure our growing state needs.
"I'll be working hard to ensure that our plans provide the jobs, roads, schools, and the hospitals that Queenslanders deserve at a price they can afford to pay.
"We don't want to see Queensland slip back into Labor's bad old habits of debt, deficit and higher taxes.
"Queenslanders can be certain that with a shadow cabinet of this calibre, the LNP team will hold Labor to account for every bungle, every botch up and every bad decision they will inevitably make."
First LNG cargo a major milestone for Queensland
A milestone first gas shipment heralding thousands of jobs and a stronger Queensland economy has begun loading off Gladstone.
Acting Premier Tim Nicholls visited the Port of Gladstone today as the first tanker, the Methane Rita Andrea, was being loaded at BG Group's Queensland Curtis LNG facility.
"This vitally important first shipment signifies the start of the production phase for Queensland's new LNG industry," Mr Nicholls said.
"It will have huge benefits for the state's economy; boosting export income, creating ongoing jobs and at peak capacity approximately $500 million a year in royalties for Queensland.
"Our Government has worked tirelessly to enable the LNG export industry to invest and develop its infrastructure as quickly as possible, while also meeting rigorous environmental and safety standards.
"With total investment to date of about $60 billion in gas infrastructure, the LNG industry is set to become Queensland's second largest export industry, following coal."
Mr Nicholls said protecting the Great Barrier Reef was the Government's highest priority, and the new LNG shipments would be strictly regulated and monitored as they tracked outside the reef.
"In addition, vessels will travel another 110 nautical miles south of standard shipping routes to pass south of Lady Musgrave Island when entering and leaving Gladstone Harbour," he said.
"The LNG sector will underpin Queensland's projected economic growth of 5.75 per cent in 2015-16."
When the three major LNG export projects are completed and fully operational, which is expected to occur by 2017, the Port of Gladstone will have a production capacity of 25.3 million tonnes of LNG a year.
Mid-Year Review shows Queensland heading back to black
Queensland will benefit from fiscal surpluses well into the future under the Newman LNP Government's careful financial management.
Treasurer Tim Nicholls said today's 2014-15 Mid-Year Fiscal and Economic Review showed the Government had kept its promise to get the state's finances back on track and back in the black.
"In 2015-16 we will deliver the first fiscal surplus for Queensland in a decade," Mr Nicholls said.
"This sets the foundation for restoring confidence, building a stronger economy and creating jobs.
"As a result, we will no longer need to borrow money to pay teachers or put fuel in ambulances.
"The strong decisions we made at the start of our term mean we've avoided worse financial shocks in the future.
"The Newman LNP Government's hard work in cutting waste and reining in expenses means that next year we expect to post a surplus of $331 million – and we will continue to remain in surplus in the following years."
Mr Nicholls said despite challenging economic conditions, including low world coal prices, there were now an extra 800 police protecting Queensland families, more than 760 extra teachers and teacher aides in classrooms and not one person left on the long wait dental list.
"Our commitment to and delivery of frontline services is unmatched," Mr Nicholls said.
"We do have to contend with some challenges and that means in 2014-15 the deficit of $2.84 billion will be higher than forecast at Budget time.
"This is due to a write-down in revenues and also the timing of some disaster relief payments from the Commonwealth.
"We are also seeing economic growth at a slightly lower rate than forecast in the Budget with growth this year now expected to be around 2.5 per cent, rising to 5.75 per cent in 2015-16.
"As Treasury's report shows, Queensland is not immune from global conditions and that's why we need to work hard to build our four pillar economy and improve our financial resilience."
Mr Nicholls said debt remained a critical issue for Queensland's future.
"Our careful management of the state's finances means we've been able to reduce debt slightly – but we are still headed towards $80 billion," Mr Nicholls said.
"We have ended Labor's reckless spending, but its legacy of debt is still constraining Queensland.
"Our Strong Choices plan to lease some assets, reduce debt, invest in job-creating infrastructure and help Queenslanders with cost of living pressures will secure our financial future.
"Labor has no plan to tackle the massive debt they foisted on Queenslanders.
"Only the Newman LNP Government has a strong team with a strong plan to build a stronger Queensland."
The job's not done yet, but we're getting there

Business Executive rooms can be converted into offices during the day. Standard rooms only have showers, but the Super Deluxe rooms have a combined shower and bathtub. There's no on-site health club, but guests can use the nearby California Fitness Center for free. The Phoenix Garden Café serves international fare, but gets noisy at dinner due to its basement location. The hotel is in the heart of the Orchard Road area, not far from the convention center.

It's a wrap on TV show "Hitler Didi"! Actress Rati Pandey, who played the lead role in it, says she has a whole lot of happy memories of her association with the show, which was appreciated by viewers for so long.
The show went on air in 2011 on Zee TV.
Rati has thanked the audiences for all the love and support towards the show.
"Thank you so much for all the appreciation that you gave us. Whether people watched it or not, but 'Hitler Didi' has become a trendsetter now. They know about Hitler Didi and the show as well," Rati said here Tuesday at the wrap-up party for the show.
"We are wrapping up the show after one year and seven months! That's a long time...but we all are happy and enjoying," she added.
The actress heaped praises for her co-star Sumit Vats, who played her husband Rishi in the show, and said that she hopes to collaborate with him again.
"I would say that keep appreciating us (me and Sumit) even in future! No matter we both work together or not but we will always try our best to convince you (viewers), whatever the storyline of a show be," said Rati.
She has earlier been a part of the shows like "Miley Jab Hum Tum", "Raat Hone Ko Hai" and "Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hai".
The last episode of "Hitler Didi" will reportedly be aired Aug 2. It will be replaced by "Do Dil Bandhe Ek Dori Se".

brian eno interview
to access audio and video on collective you need real player.
Centuries of art at the Baltic.Soothing sounds surround you in the huge twilit space as you walk quietly towards a row of silhouetted figures sat in silent contemplation of what looks like three stained-glass windows. You'd be forgiven for thinking you were in some kind of New Age church, but no, this is Constellations (77 Million Paintings) - Brian Eno's installation at the Baltic in Gateshead.
"I'm starting to think that I'm getting into the religion business a little bit," says the master of ambient strangeness, bathed in the glow from the luminous panels. "I'm actually an evangelical atheist, but there is something I recognise about religion: that it gives people a chance to surrender. And I think part of what happens to people when they come into this show is that they practice this feeling of surrendering."
This is the second time that an installation using Eno's specially developed computer programme, 77 Million Paintings, has been shown in the UK (the first was at the Big Chill last year). The software randomly overlays more than 300 of his own hand-drawn images, constantly producing millions of possible combinations. And it's beautiful to behold. "You're reversing a pattern that's been very familiar to humans for the last 100 years or so," Eno explains. "Which is that you can always hear or see something again. What I'm doing is using those same technologies which we use to replicate experiences to generate constantly new ones.
"My experience of the piece is as fresh as the audience's. When I walk away from this tomorrow it'll carry on generating paintings – none of which I'll ever see – so every member of the audience will see a different set of images. If you wanted to be sure of seeing a repeat you'd have to watch for about 450 years." Which is a strange and moving thought. One that makes you keep watching as each image slowly dies away, never to be seen again. At least, not until the middle of the 25th Century.
Jonathan Carter
Constellations (77 Million Paintings) is at the Baltic, Gateshead, until 15 April 07. Luminous (77 Million Paintings) is at Selfridge's, London, until 17 March 07.

comment by papaver borealis Feb 18, 2007Went to see this piece today, and spent a dreamy time gazing at preconceived art evolving into a different version of some preconceived art. Thoroughly enjoyable, which is at least a part of what art should be.
Most interested to hear the part from the ladty from the baltic saying that the mirror used in the piece had a tendency to fall off....
comment by David Jennings Feb 16, 200777 Million Paintings was also shown at the Barbican last September and October (as part of the Steve Reich season http://www.barbican.org.uk/reich/Reich_brochure06.... ), so the Baltic exhibition is at least the third showing in this country.
I saw about 200 of the 'paintings', and was disappointed that only about three of them were any good. Memory is treacherous, but I remember Eno's original video sculptures (shown at Riverside Studios in 1986) being a lot better.
comment by Jonathan Carter Editor Feb 15, 2007Hello mikeywill69,
You're right. 77 Million Paintings was at the Big Chill last year, and I've changed the piece accordingly.
Thanks, Jonathan
comment by paulex Feb 15, 2007It indeed is a tantalising tought to be able to see some beautifull pictures, knowing that you will never be able to see them again. However, this also carries the threat of "loss", and in that sense is a little bit disturbing. But all these fresh pictures are certainly very stimulating... I look forward to visit the installation, or at least to have some Eno video on my flatscreen.
comment by mikeywill69 Feb 14, 2007Just a small correction to Jonathan Cater's review, this video installation was first shown in the Art Field at this years Big Chill, and a very aesthetic hour or so was spent gazing wide eyed and going 'wow'.
Is Brian a modern Da Vinci?

Dr. J. Ralph Noonkester
Hattiesburg, MS
J. Ralph Noonkester, President Emeritus of William Carey University, died on Sunday, September 30, 2012 after a brief illness.
Born on June 10, 1924 in Flatridge, Virginia, Noonkester graduated from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia and attended Marion College in Marion, Virginia. In 1944 he received the Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Sociology from the University of Richmond and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. Subsequently he completed the Th.M. and Ph.D. degrees at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. His 1949 doctoral dissertation concerning Oriental missionary movements in the United States represented a pioneering effort in Comparative Religion.
Noonkester later served as Minister of Education at First Baptist Church of Charlottesville, Virginia before accepting a teaching position at Mississippi Woman's College in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When Woman's College became co-educational in 1954, it was Noonkester's idea to change its name to William Carey College reflecting the educational vision of the great Orientalist and missionary to India, William Carey (1761-1834).
Noonkester was Professor of Religion, Dean and, from 1956 to 1989, President of William Carey College (now University). He guided the trustees of William Carey College as they made it one of the first private colleges in the Gulf South voluntarily to achieve racial integration in 1965.
Noonkester's tenure as president witnessed successful fund-raising campaigns and the establishment of campus sites in New Orleans (1969) and on the Mississippi Gulf Coast (1976). His expansive vision received recognition from the
Harvard University
Graduate School of Education in 1980. He retired from William Carey College in 1989 and was named President Emeritus.
While president of the Hattiesburg Chamber of Commerce in 1966, Noonkester led a fund-raising effort to rebuild the home of Civil Rights martyr Vernon Dahmer, Sr. Noonkester was president of the Mississippi Association of Colleges, the Mississippi Foundation of Independent Colleges and the Hattiesburg United Way and a member of the Hattiesburg Kiwanis Club and the Hattiesburg Civic Association.
Noonkester served on the Board of Directors of First Mississippi National Bank and BancorpSouth and received the Silver Beaver Award from the Boy Scouts of America. In 2012 he received the Martin Luther King, Jr. Lifetime Achievement Award from the Mu Gamma Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha.
Noonkester was a member of the Newcomen Society and Omicron Delta Kappa. He served on the boards of trustees of the Hattiesburg Public Schools and The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. As an experienced college president, Noonkester chaired the Education Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and guided several Southern Association of Colleges and Schools visiting accreditation teams.
Noonkester was a deacon of First Baptist Church, Hattiesburg for many years and in retirement sang tenor in the Visionaires Choir. Most recently, he and his wife Naomi were members of University Baptist Church, Hattiesburg.
Noonkester received the Doctor of Laws degree from the University of Richmond, the Rust College Shield for Leadership in Education and Social Development, the Liberty Bell Award from the South Central Mississippi Bar Association and the Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Blue Mountain College. In 1982 he was named the Hattiesburg Sales and Marketing Executives Man of the Year. The following year he became the third recipient of the Hub Award. The J. Ralph Noonkester Endowed Professorship, the J. Ralph Noonkester Scholarship at William Carey University and the Noonkester Park at Oak Hill Academy honor his memory.
In 2007 William Carey University named the Ralph and Naomi Noonkester School of Arts and Letters for him and for his wife Naomi who had served William Carey College faithfully as Registrar in the early days and later hosted receptions and public events in the William Carey President's Home.
Noonkester was the son of the late Reggie Lee and Arcie Parks Noonkester. He was preceded in death by his brother Clarence Noonkester and his sister Judy Noonkester.
Noonkester is survived by his wife of 65 years, Naomi Hopkins Noonkester; sisters Loretta Crismond of Bedford, Virginia and Kate Legard of Stuart, Virginia; a son, Myron Noonkester of Hattiesburg, Mississippi; a daughter, Lila Noonkester of Greenwood, South Carolina; a daughter-in-law, Jennie Morgan Noonkester of Hattiesburg, Mississippi; and grandchildren P. Belgium Harris of Laveen, Arizona, Adam Daniel Noonkester and William Morgan Noonkester of Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
A funeral service will be held at Main Street Baptist Church in Hattiesburg at 11 AM on Thursday, October 4, 2012. Visitation will precede the service from 9-11 AM. Dr. Bennie R. Crockett, Jr. and Dr. Rusty Edwards will officiate. Pallbearers will include colleagues in higher education and public service. Interment will take place at Highland Cemetery in Hattiesburg.
Members of the family request that memorial donations be designated to the Carey Center at William Carey University or to Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia.
Hulett-Winstead Funeral Home in Hattiesburg, MS is in charge of arrangements.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Saturday, January 19, 2013 - It's been a while since I haven't had any Pegau and this Reservée 2009 did not disappoint. Displaying a dense purple robe, this 2009 possesses this distinctive first and second noses exclusive to Pegau's Chateauneufs. The nose is indeed full of hay and artichoke then underlined by dried barks.
The mouth is clearly less exclusive, which is a good point as the nose tends to be overly expressive, especially in this 2009. It develops a great acidity framing some red berries and an extremely light truffle note.
This is clearly a great vintage for Pegau Reservée, though, this has the Pegau's touch on steroids which can cause some distaste to those expecting some artistic restrain in their Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

EASTON, Pa. -- Jared Mintz tallied a double-double, scoring 17 points and pulling down 11 rebounds, to lead Lafayette in a 61-57 win over Bucknell on Wednesday night.
Bryan Cohen went 2-for-2 from the foul line, pulling Bucknell even with Lafayette at 52-all with 4:11 left in the game. But Michael Gruner's layup less than 1 minute later put the Leopards (13-6, 4-0 Patriot League) ahead for good.
Gruner had another lay-in to put Lafayette up 59-54 with 1:10 left before Stephen Tyree's 3-pointer pulled Bucknell within three. But Tony Johnson sealed the game with 26 seconds remaining, sinking two free throws.
Gruner finished with 14 points for the Leopards, who increased their season-best winning streak to six games.
Cohen led the Bison (6-14, 1-3) with 13 points and Tyree had 10. Bucknell has lost five of six.
The Bison lost despite forcing 23 turnovers and a 16-12 advantage in bench scoring.

Mississippi Senior
40: 4.55e
Is a good, fast runner with surprising quickness and burst out of his cuts. Can make defenders miss in space and runs low with good balance. Willing to lower the shoulder and finish his runs. Has a quick release and shows good arm strength. Most comfortable when he's able to use his legs and improvise.
Short-arms his throws with a three-quarters release. Has lacking accuracy, throwing behind receivers on crossing routes and the outs. Lacks anticipation on his throws and reads. Throws off his back foot and rarely sets his feet. Struggles to reset his feet when he's throwing on the run. Doesn't make good decisions with the ball as a passer, and at times as a runner. Holds the ball like a loaf of bread, and ball security is a major issue.
Masoli is an athletic and mobile running quarterback that is good with the ball in his hands. He's physical and a tougher runner than you would expect, and has surprising quickness and speed that consistently catches defenders off guard, even the vaunted SEC ones. But he's not a good QB, and besides playing in a wildcat role, he has almost no potential to develop there at the next level. He's much better off being moved to running back, but his issues with ball security and likelihood that he'll be inconsistent and unnatural there when it comes to following blocks, makes him a raw option there. He has the athleticism to be a slot wideout, but again he'd be raw there running routes. Had several off-field run-ins during his time at Oregon and was kicked off the team for allegedly stealing a projectory at a frat house and then lying about it to authorities. Was very productive in Oregon's spread offense, combining for a 16-5 record, completing 57.5% of 544 attempts for 3891 yards, 28 TDs, and 11 INTs. He also rushed for 1386 yards on 248 carries (5.6 avg) and 23 touchdowns. Transferred to Ole Miss due to the loophole that allows players that have graduated to get a 6th year in grad school. He started the last 11 games for Ole Miss, going 4-7, completing 56.4% of 296 passes for 2039 yards, 14 TDs, 13 INTs, and rushing 121 times for 544 yards (4.5 avg) and 6 more scores.
Masoli is going to be hard-pressed to play any position in the NFL. He has the athleticism to move to running back or wide receiver, but probably not the time to develop quickly. The best thing you could hope for him is that a team falls in love with him as a slash-type subpackage player in the wildcat and gives him a few reps there on occasion. He is a good runner, and if he was able to spend a few years playing the RB position, I think he might have a chance to make an NFL roster as a No. 3 guy. But again, he's very raw there. In truth, he has almost no shot of sticking on an NFL roster unless he can show some prowess on special teams, perhaps in the return game. Then maybe, he can be a very poor man's Josh Cribbs or Antwaan Randle El. But since that's doubtful, it's more than likely he goes to the CFL or AFL and produces there, to never be heard from again in the pro level.
Unless the Falcons fell in love with his athleticism and again he showed some ability as a returner, then he's a longshot to make the Falcons team and just a body that they bring to camp.
Masoli's athleticism is intriguing enough that some team should give him a tryout in a mini-camp to see if he can be a returner, but unless he shined there he's not really worth bringing to camp. Let the CFL or AFL get him and develop him for you and then take your shot down the road.

KEXP Barbecue update
I was listening to KEXP on the way to work this morning when John Richards mentioned that The Long Winters would be playing the KEXP barbecue in addition to the already slotted Ghostland Observatory. He also mentioned that John Roderick and crew are on tour somewhere on the East Coast at the time and will be flying back to Seattle on their own dime just to play the show. Thanks guys … I wasn't planning on going to the event with Ghostland Observatory being the only band announced. The other day when I heard them on the radio, I thought it was Depeche Mode. Two more secret bands will be added to the lineup at a later date. [Read More]

Brown Deer police on Monday arrested the third suspect in a three-man armed robbery which took place Friday at the Credit Union Services Center, 6402 West Brown Deer Road.
Police arrested the two other suspects Friday after they were spotted in Fox Point and attempted to abandon and run away from their car. In a news release, police identified the two suspects as Marcques Davis, 18, and Joey James-Roby, 17, of Milwaukee.
Both Davis and James-Roby have been charged with robbery of a financial institution as parties to the crime, a Class C felony which can carry a fine of $100,000, a 40-year prison sentence, or both.
According to the original BDPD news release:
Two of the suspects entered the credit union around 11 a.m. Thursday morning. One brandished a black handgun and the two made off with an unknown amount of cash.
The two fled in a red Pontiac with a broken passenger side mirror, going eastbound on Brown Deer Road. A third suspect was their getaway driver.
Shortly afterward Glendale police spotted the car in Fox Point, prompting the three suspects to abandon the car.
In the foot chase that followed two of the suspects were taken into custody by a joint effort of officers from Glendale, Fox Point, Whitefish Bay, Bayside, Brown Deer and the Milwaukee County Sheriff's K-9 unit.
Nearby Nicolet High School and Cardinal Stritch University were put on lock-down as a precaution.
Police are seeking information on the third suspect, described as a black male in his early 20s with a thin build, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a black puffy jacket.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Brown Deer police at (414) 371-2900 with reference to case 14-708.

Product description
Drawn by some sympathetic note in one of his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1908 Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young would-be poet, on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. An accompanying chronicle of Rilke's life shows what he was experiencing in his own relationship to life and work when he wrote these letters.

Blues Story
Blues Story
My best friend came to me by pure luck. A friend of mine told me of these beautiful lab mix puppies that were looking for a good home and after seeing them I had to take one. as most dog owners will attest to, your dog is the best dog in the world and I am no different. He instantly became such an integral part of my life that I never wanted to think of when I might have to say goodbye to him. After about 5 years, that day came with surprising speed and I was woefully unprepared for what was to come.
Early in June I woke one night to see Blue in obvious distress. he had labored breath and seemed to be having stomach cramping. then the next morning everything seemed fine and he was himself again but that night the same thing. that day I got him into VCA pacific ave hospital, and we started the long process of determining what was wrong and what could be done. After the initial diagnosis of a foreign body in his intestine and him not improving with the given treatment and ultrasound was given and the revelation that came was very unexpected and crushed me, Lymphoma that had spread into his stomach and liver.
I will now split this story into the one I continue to write for blue and the review of VCA.
The true love and compassion for the animals that come thru the doors of VCA will never be in doubt to me. Dr. Christenson has been Blues doctor from the first day we came in and is one of the most thorough and caring people I have ever met. There is no doubt in my mind that she cares about blues health and well being just as much as I do. The other doctors and the staff that work along with her are just as impressive. everyone there has gone out of their way to ensure that Blue is happy and comfortable thru this long and hard journey he is on.
I know that some may say that VCA is expensive and to be honest I have no idea as to how they compare to others in terms of money. I have given up nearly everything I have to give my best friend the shot for a longer life that he seems to fight so hard for that the price, for me, has been a distant issue.
As Blue continues his fight, I can Imagine no other place that would treat him orme with such care and respect. I give my whole hearted recommendation to the Doctors and staff ant VCA Pacific Ave.

What You Need To Know About The Ebola Virus
Story By: Larry Stine
Originally Published on: 8/1/2014
Two American health care workers in Africa are struggling to survive the deadly Ebola virus after caring for patients stricken with the disease. Do we in the U.S. need to worry about the virus harming us here? Here's oday's Health Minute. The deadly Ebola virus may only be a plane ride away, however, U.S. health officials say the risk to individuals here is low. "Even if we had a case introduced in the United States, the likelihood and probability of extensive spread is extremely small," says Mart Cetron of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Here's what you need to know about Ebola. There is no vaccine or cure for the virus and though between 60-to-90-percent of those who catch it die, unlike the flu, which you can catch from a sneeze or cough, Ebola does not spread easily. To get Ebola, you have to come into direct contact with a sick person's body fluids such as blood or vomit. That's why the spread is usually limited to health care workers or family members who have physical contact with the sick person. The incubation period for someone who has been exposed is between 2-to-21 days. People are not contagious during this time, only after symptoms appear. Symptoms may include fever, diarrhea and vomiting. People traveling from West Africa who experience these conditions should contact their doctor. If someone does get sick in the United States, health experts stress the illness will likely be contained quickly.

It's been a busy week for New York Jets quarterbacks. Mark Sanchez threw four interceptions and lost a fumble, Greg McElroy was named the new starter, Tim Tebow felt misled, Sanchez could be traded, Tebow wants to be traded, Michael Vick wants to sign with the team and now Tebow has called it quits with his girlfriend. Tebow broke up with Camilla Belle after two weeks of dating, according to US Weekly. A source told the gossip magazine, "It just didn't work out." Tebow's week could only get worse at this point if he found out that McElroy had stolen Belle's heart, along with his chance to start in the NFL. It may be for the best. Tebow likely won't be in New York very much longer, and there's not much work for an actress and model in Jacksonville.

When I was at school we learned our history the old-fashioned way. Lists of battles were dutifully memorised. I remember exams in which we had to mark each of the main incidents of the Peninsular War on a map of Iberia. When it was over, I had no idea why the British had been fighting in Spain, or what the importance of the campaign was in terms of Napoleon's ultimate defeat.
Nowadays, we have put this approach behind us. Children are taught to imagine the lives of "ordinary people", especially if these people are women, poor, or otherwise disadvantaged. There's an emphasis on social history; a move away from kings and queens and those interminable lists of battles. It's a humane response to an idiotic way of teaching history.
So why, then, was I talking about Waterloo a couple of weeks ago, the Crimea last week, and, in the weeks to come, will I be writing about the siege of Cawnpore during the Indian Mutiny?
I've written five historical novels. Three are about a spy in the Napoleonic wars, so I imagine that some degree of military action was inevitable. The other two, though, are about issues of colonialism in the mid-19th century. They are essentially about misunderstandings between cultures – misunderstandings that, in theory, do not have to end in bloodshed. The fact is, though, that each of these books includes acts of horrendous violence. This cannot be explained simply by saying that the history of British colonialism is a history of military conquest, for my account of Cawnpore centres on the military aggrandisement of an Indian princeling.
I write books that centre on conflict. Some literary theorists would say that this is true of all books, but my conflicts are more explicit than some others. In the case of the books about James Burke, the conflict is there principally to provide adventure and excitement for the reader, so you could argue that, for example, the battle of Waterloo inevitably features because if you want excitement in the Napoleonic wars, the field of Waterloo is an obvious place to find it. However, in the first of the series, Burke in the Land of Silver, the conflict is the struggle for Argentinian independence, a struggle waged principally between the people of Argentina and the government of Spain. Yet the battle that features in this novel is waged by Britain. It's even less obvious why a story about the dynamics of ruling a small country in Borneo (The White Rajah) should climax with a battle involving the British Navy, especially as the country that the Navy was acting for was not even a British colony.

Part of the problem, I think, is that since the end of World War II we have come to think of armed conflict as an aberration. Economic or political crises should be settled diplomatically. After all, nobody is suggesting that the Bundeswehr is going to march into Greece to demand that it give the Germans their money back. Historically, though, this is arguably an unusual state of affairs. Bismarck famously said that war was the continuation of diplomacy by other means and the idea that disputes between nations should be settled militarily is much older than the concepts of the United Nations and the International Criminal Court. Arguably, our modern notions that history is not about battles are about to be set aside. It is interesting to see the difficulty that the international community has in trying to discuss the future of Ukraine whilst carefully ignoring the reality that that future has already been decided by the presence of Russian tanks on Ukrainian soil.
This does not explain, though, why Britain invaded Buenos Aires at a time when the principal conflict in the area was between the Argentinian people and their Spanish rulers. Nor does it explain the intervention of the British Navy in a conflict between the rulers of Sarawak and a tribe of marauding Sea Dyaks. To a degree, of course, the British were taking advantage of a period of uncertainty in order to strengthen their political and military position. I think, though, that this does not imply that these were calculated moves. There is a lot of truth in the aphorism that the British Empire was acquired mostly in moments of absentmindedness.
When there is cultural or political conflict, there is a tendency for people to resolve the situation with force. Violence is often a response to political or economic upheavals, even when the violence does not in any way address the factors that created it. Thus, there is a clear correlation between economic conditions and the number of lynchings in the southern states of America, although those lynched were more likely to be accused of a sexual crime or a lack of respect rather than anything related to the economy.
It seems, perhaps, that my teachers were at least partly right. History can be taught as a series of military conflicts. However, I do not think that it makes sense to see military achievements as shaping the course of history. Rather, it is that periods of great change are punctuated by military adventures. Waterloo, for example, did not initiate the end of a revolutionary era and bring peace to Europe. After decades of war, Europe was ready for peace and the Great Powers had united to end revolution. The military defeat of Napoleon was an inevitable consequence of social and political change at the beginning of the 19th century: the changes that followed 1815 were not caused by Napoleon's defeat but were the product of the movements that had destroyed him. History can only be understood by looking at social and economic changes, but to pretend that these are not accompanied by violence and conflict is to ignore reality. War is the punctuation of history and to teach the history of an era without teaching about the military campaigns that took place at the time is to present the student with a book in which sentences and paragraphs are run together.
I do not want to spend my life writing about war, but I'm fascinated by the drama of periods of radical change in history and the clashes between different ways of looking at the world. It is not inevitable that writing about these issues will always mean writing about battles, but I suspect that I haven't seen the last of war in my stories. Fortunately, armed conflict, however terrible in reality, can always be turned to good account in fiction. As pedagogue in fashions change, I hope that it might also find its way back into the teaching of history.

Nakba Day event at Tel Aviv University 370 (R).
(photo credit:REUTERS/Nir Elias)
Israel's vibrant – though embattled – democracy was on display Monday at Tel
Aviv University in all its glory. Dozens of students – Palestinian and
Jewish – articulated their belief that the events surrounding the creation of
the State of Israel were a "Nakba," Arabic for catastrophe, after receiving
authorization from Tel Aviv University President Joseph
Klafter.Participants heard the reading of a poem by the late Palestinian
poet Mahmoud Darwish, observed a moment of silence and – in a clear attempt to
reach out to Jewish students by "Judaizing" the ceremony – recited a version of
the "Yizkor" prayer, traditionally read in synagogues and other Jewish memorial
events for the deceased.The ceremony strengthens the argument – made by
this paper's editorial board –that the so-called "Nakba Law" does not violate
the freedom of assembly or the freedom of expression of Israeli citizens – Arab
or Jewish. Though the legislation, passed in March 2011, has been grossly
misrepresented in the press, what it actually says is very
reasonable.Essentially an amendment to Finance Ministry funding
directives, the Nakba Law empowers the finance minister to stop state budgeting
of organizations, institutions, municipalities or other bodies that use Israeli
taxpayers' money to fund activities that have the goal of undermining the very
moral foundations of the State of Israel.As a Jewish state, Israel
cannot be expected to use taxpayers' money to perpetuate a Palestinian narrative
of victimization that intentionally distorts reality in order to delegitimize
Zionism. After all, Palestinian suffering was the result of the extremist
Palestinian leadership's rejection of the 1947 UN General Assembly's partition
plan and the foolish decision by figures such as the anti-Semitic Haj Amin
al-Husseini to launch a war against the fledgling Jewish state. Short of lying
down and dying and trashing aspirations for national self-determination, there
was little Jews could have done to prevent Palestinian suffering.Still,
as a democracy, Israel has an obligation to protect the right of Palestinians to
commemorate their history, regardless how distorted and counterproductive to
peace it might be.The Nakba Law maintains that delicate balance.
Organizers and university administrators were careful to adhere to the
strictures of the Nakba Law, which forbid the university to use state money to
fund anti-Israel activities.Tel Aviv University did not take part in
funding of the Nakba Day ceremonies. Organizers had to foot the bill for
expenses such as security guards and decorations. But by permitting the ceremony
to be held on campus, the university's president was reaffirming the democratic
principles of freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.Back in January,
Adalah, the legal center for Arab minority rights in Israel, and the Association
for Civil Rights in Israel, as well as several Jewish and Arab citizens,
petitioned the Supreme Court against the law. The Supreme Court rejected the
petition, arguing that it was still too early to determine whether the law
contradicted principles of equal rights."The questions that this law
raises will only become clear with its implementation," the justices noted in
their decision. Judging from the way it was applied at Tel Aviv
University, the Nakba Law manages to prevent the inappropriate use of state
funds without curtailing basic human rights.Unfortunately, there were
those who did not appreciate the Nakba Law's careful balancing of Israel's
Jewish and democratic ideals. Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar reportedly
attempted to convince Klafter to "reconsider" his decision allowing the event.
Meanwhile, Tel Aviv University's Student Union claimed that out of respect for
the feelings of students on campus, the Nakba Day celebration should be
canceled.This attempt to stifle free speech did little more than draw
inordinate attention to an event attended by a small number of people
representing a minority of Israelis.As for the participants in the Nakba
Day commemorations, would it be too much to ask that along with the mourning
over the "catastrophe" they recognize some of the good as well? If the
Palestinians had succeeded in snuffing out Israel at its very inception there
would almost certainly not be an institute of higher learning like Tel Aviv
University – not just in Israel but in the entire region – that accepts all
students regardless of race, religion or gender and fosters an atmosphere of
free expression. Just something to ponder on Nakba Day.

Brown Bag Lunch Topic: Jesuits, Ottoman Empire
SU Doctoral Candidate to Lead Discussion
Written By Tyler Gardinier '14, PR Intern
Final Brown Bag Lunch lecture of the Fall semester
Utica, NY (11/26/2013)- On Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 12:30 p.m. in the DuRoss Faculty Dining Room, the History Brown Bag Lunch lecture series features Syracuse University doctoral candidate Robert Clines and his lecture titled, "The Society of Jesus Between Rome and the Christian Orient."
Between 1560 and 1585, the Society of Jesus carried out three missions to the Christian communities of the Ottoman Empire in an attempt to unite Eastern Christians and the Catholic Church under the authority of the papacy. Each of these three missions had their own set of problems, including the interference of Jews and Muslims, and the high rates of illiteracy in the Christians of Lebanon.
This presentation links these three missions, demonstrates that the Jesuits had to navigate both the unique currents of life on the individual missions as well as the pressures Rome placed on the Jesuits to succeed.
The History Brown Bag Lunch lecture holds talks on the second Wednesday of each month at 12:30 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters. The lecture is free and open to the public.
For more information on the History Brown Bag Lunch lecture, contact David Wittner, professor of history, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Starring :Conan O'Brien
Video: Conan O'Brien Performs 'Magic Mike XXL' Stripper Moves During Girls' Night OutJuly 04, 2015 09:07:48
Conan O'Brien was so curious about girls' excitement at "Magic Mike XXL" that he crashed a girls' night out. He joined his assistant and her friends to watch the movie, but before that he discussed with them what's interesting about the movie.
"I don't know much about the film. Just judging by the title, I assume it's a very heavy magician," he said when he arrived at his assistant's house. "I haven't seen you ladies react this way to a movie franchise before. You didn't do this for 'Ninja Turtles'. What's going on?" he asked the girls.
Conan O'Brien Gets Drunk, Angers Dogs During His Visit to CubaMarch 05, 2015 03:03:45
Conan O'Brien visited Cuba last month to film an episode of his talk show which just aired on Wednesday night, March 4. In the special episode, the "CONAN" host revealed his reason to visit the country was to "talk to the people, get to know them" and make friends with them after President Barack Obama announced last December that the U.S. would re-establish diplomatic relations with Cuba.
In a four-minute opening, he's seen walking on the street and showed off his Spanish language skill which was apparently limited to a few lines. He angered the country's dogs when he walked through the neighborhood and visited a grocery store which displays only one product in a long row.
Conan O'Brien Filming TBS Talk Show in CubaFebruary 16, 2015 11:02:45
Conan O'Brien is quick to take action after President Barack Obama said in his speech last December that the U.S. would re-establish diplomatic relations with Cuba. Taking advantage of this new policy, the "CONAN" host has taken his late-night show to the island country to film an episode there.
O'Brien and the show's crew filmed segments of an upcoming episode in Havana and surrounding areas this past weekend. The episode will air March 4 at 11 P.M. ET on TBS.
Conan O'Brien Plays Nasty Biker in 'Sons of Anarchy'-Themed Cold OpenNovember 12, 2014 02:11:28
Conan O'Brien channeled his inner bada** biker in the cold open for the Tuesday, November 11 episode of "CONAN". The comedian sported fake mustache and long hair, donned a leather vest and hit the road on a motorcycle.
He, however, wasn't well accepted by other motorcycle gang members, getting thrown out a window of a biker bar. He apparently didn't fit into a cupcake shop either, and eventually opted to ride a children's bicycle.
'Sons of Anarchy' Cast to Invade 'CONAN'October 31, 2014 12:10:09
"Sons of Anarchy" cast will stop by "CONAN" for their first-ever joint talk show appearance. Series creator Kurt Sutter will be joined by the show's stars, including Charlie Hunnam, Tommy Flanagan, Jimmy Smits, Drea de Matteo and Mark Boone Junior, on the TBS show November 11.
More actors of the FX series will be announced later to join the gang for the TV interview. The "CONAN" appearance comes just before the "Sons of Anarchy" impending farewell with the series finale scheduled to air on December 9.
'CONAN' Fined by FCC for Using Emergency Alert Sounds in Old PromoNovember 07, 2013 02:11:14
"CONAN" lands in trouble over an old promo. The show is facing a $25,000 fine from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for using emergency alert sounds in a 2012 promotional clip.
FCC has noticed the cable network about the fine for "the transmission of false distress signals," unless it can dissuade the commission within 30 days. FCC detailed that the video "used the emergency weather tones to gain attention for a commercial regarding Jack Black being on the show for April 26, 2012."
Will Ferrell to Appear as 'Anchorman' Character Ron Burgundy on 'CONAN'October 31, 2013 08:10:58
Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy will return to "CONAN" on Thursday, November 21. The actor will once again appear as his "Anchorman" character following his surprise apperance in March 2012 on the TBS show to break the news that the long-awaited sequel to the 2004 comedy film was finally greenlit.
For his next visit, Ferrell/Burgundy will have a sitdown with host Conan O'Brien. "It's thrilling to be on the Conan O'Brien show, a top flight show. I'm excited to hear he's still on television," so the famous newsman from San Diego says.
TBS Renews Conan O'Brien's Talk Show Through 2015April 02, 2013 08:04:28
While his former rival Jay Leno may be in danger of losing his job on NBC, Conan O'Brien has secured a renewal for his show "CONAN". TBS announces that it has extended O'Brien's contract, making sure he will stay on the cable network until November 2015. His initial deal would expire in April 2014.
