Finalists named in capital's search for finest
Relevant offers
Movie stars, dames, Silver Ferns and mayors are all among the nominees for The Dominion Post's Wellingtonian of the Year Awards.
The Wellys recognise the people making a difference in the Wellington region each year, across arts, business, government, and other areas.
While well-known people such as comedian Bret McKenzie, Upper Hutt Mayor Wayne Guppy, and Silver Fern Katrina Grant have been nominated, the categories are also filled with Wellingtonians doing great things behind the scenes.
Across nine categories, 34 finalists have been named.
School student Brittany Trilford has been nominated in the Youth category for her impassioned speech on the environment's future at the United Nations' Earth Summit, while conservationist Alex Kettles has been given the nod in the Environment category for his work on Matiu/Somes Island over the last 20 years.
Sose Annandale, principal of Porirua's Russell School, was nominated in the Education category, and the father-daughter team of Graeme and Julie Moore head up the Business nominations for the success of specialist food warehouse Moore Wilson's.
But the Moores are not the only family up for a Welly.
Bret McKenzie is facing off against his mother Deirdre Tarrant in the Arts category. Tarrant has been nominated for her tireless work with Footnote Dance, after retiring from her role as director earlier this year.
Category winners and the 2012 Wellingtonian of the Year will be named on November 22 at the Amora Hotel.

AppleInsider's ads-free iPad app now available on the App StoreAppleInsider today is excited to announce the availability of its ads-free, subscription-based iPad app on Apple's App Store, delivering an uninterrupted browsing experience that comes wrapped in a flexible and elegant multi-touch interface designed from the ground up with readers in mind. And we want everyone to download it for free and give it a whirl for 30 days, with absolutely no strings attached.
No, AppleInsider isn't transitioning to a pay-only model, nor are we planing to make changes to any of the numerous access points that readers already tap on a daily basis to enjoy our great content. Instead, we're expanding our mobile footprint with the release of the AppleInsider iPad app as a premium option designed off the feedback we received in the twelve months following the launch of our inaugural iPhone app (which is also getting an update today).
In working with the incredibly gifted crew at digital design firm Crafted, we strove to develop a model for AppleInsider on the iPad that would allow us to deliver a truly uninterrupted browsing experience and still provide the means for continuous updates and feature editions at a cost that would never set readers back more than $0.99 a month. We hope we've succeeded. So go grab a copy now and check it out completely free for 30 days.
If at the end of those 30 days, you'd like to continue receiving our daily news through the app, you can opt into one of three standard subscription packages that average out to between $0.75 and $0.99 per month. If not, you'll still be able to use the new iPad app to enjoy all of AppleInsider's other great services, including its in-depth product reviews, community forums and price guides. You can also continue to follow AppleInsider on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, via RSS, our official iPhone app, or via Safari (or your favorite web browser) on the Mac, PC, iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
With that said — and keeping in mind today's iPad app release sets a foundation for many advancements to come — we welcome your feedback at email@example.com and encourage you to head on over to our iPad App Landing Page and download the app to your iPads (and iPhones).

Take Cover
Radiohead Artist Stanley Donwood
We chat with the man behind some of the most iconic sleeves of the last 15 years.
By Ryan Dombal , September 15, 2010
Photo by Lucy Johnston
Notable album covers catch the eye, dribble it around a little, and then snap it back into place, forever skewed. They can be funny, gross, shocking, stunning, or just plain wrong. They can define artists. With Take Cover, we aim to track down the most striking new album covers taking up web space and vinyl bins and get the story behind them.
For this very special edition of Take Cover, we spoke with Stanley Donwood, the man responsible for all of Radiohead's album covers from The Bends on, along with most of the band's artwork. From the bare, bleak OK Computer cover to the vibrant shots of color that spray over In Rainbows, Donwood has helped to capture all the alienation and intensity of one of the most celebrated bands of all time. Plus: Without him, there would be no Radiohead Bear.
Donwood is currently displaying his first U.S. gallery show at San Francisco's FIFTY24SF through October 27. The show is called Over Normal and features some of the same bright, oil-based colors and billboard-advertisement concepts behind his subversive Hail to the Thief sleeve. It finds Donwood turning words commonly found in spam e-mails and repurposing them as mutated and modern pieces of consumer art. Over Normal also features a vocoder-assisted, spam-based audio element called the Overnormalizer, created with John Matthias.
Click on to see some pieces from the show and read our interview with Donwood about his work with Radiohead and how his art has evolved over the years:
Hail to the Thief cover; "Forgot Was Sorry" from Over Normal gallery show
Pitchfork: Why did you revisit some of the themes and colors you used on Hail to the Thief in Over Normal?
Stanley Donwood: The colors just look great because they're taken from signs of desire to be noticed at high speed. They are very pleasing colors-- but the frantic-ness and intensity of them is slightly disturbing as well.
Advertising is designed to be seductive and attractive and, in a lot of ways, it's very beautiful. But there's something unsettling about being continually sold something. I liked taking the elements of roadside advertising out of context because it removes the imperative and just goes to the essence of it-- the pure heart of advertising.
Pitchfork: I remember first seeing the Hail to the Thief artwork and thinking it felt ominous.
SD: That word occurred to me this morning when I watched the sea fog of San Francisco descend from the sky, obscuring the city minute by minute. It was very beautiful but also ominous, like a shroud, and I really love it when you get that strange combination of feelings that play against each other.
It's also ominous because all these colors that I've used are derived from the petrol-chemical industry. They're only possible because of the fractioning of hydrocarbons. That's how they get the pigments. None of it is natural. It essentially comes from black sludge. We've created this incredibly vibrant society, but we're going to have to deal with the consequences sooner or later.
Pitchfork: Looking through your Radiohead covers over the years-- comparing the pale OK Computer with the vibrant In Rainbows-- it seems like you may have become more comfortable accentuating the more beautiful aspects of technology and alienation.
SD: Or I've become more jaded and weary. We were doing that OK Computer stuff back in 1996 and I was in my mid-20s and much more distressed by everything and maybe more hopeful that something could be done about it. Now it's just more hopeless, so I'm trying to be slightly happier with myself. No one really wants to be miserable all the time.
Growing up and living in England, I'm surrounded by grey skies and sarcasm, so when I came to America, my first impressions were bright, hopeful, cheerful. In America, the colors sing, they don't just glower at you. The West Coast especially is fantastic. It seems like you can do whatever you want here, which is not the case where we come from.
Pitchfork: So is that British mindset behind the gloomier palette of something like OK Computer?
SD: Well, I remember we were trying to make something the color of bleached bone. We had a rule that if we made a mistake we had to scribble over it-- we couldn't do the Apple-Z thing; we couldn't undo. It was done on an early Apple Mac. But I got very fed up with using just computers, because you're so restricted; you got a little mouse, a little light pen that you move about and you click and click and click. I wanted to use other things. I used paint a lot. For In Rainbows, I used hypodermic needles, syringes, ink, and molten wax. Especially after Kid A and Amnesiac, which were very dour and gloomy, I wanted some brightness.
Pitchfork: Do you do work with a computer now?
SD: Yeah, but I enjoy making prints and things that are manual better. Computers don't seem real to me because there's a sheet of glass between you and whatever is happening. You never really get to touch anything that you're doing unless you print it out. I don't really enjoy making artwork on a computer because it doesn't seem like I've done anything.
"Desire Enlargement" from Over Normal gallery show
Pitchfork: It's funny, you're subverting advertising with Over Normal, but obviously a lot of your logos for Radiohead are really iconic and work well as ads.
SD: I grew up in the 80s and that was the first time advertising was considered seriously as anything resembling an art form. I was very influenced by that, but at the same time really resenting it and really hating commercialization.
Pitchfork: When you see something you've done on a t-shirt or a poster now are you still conflicted about it?
SD: Yeah, a bit. I come from a generation in England that considered making money or trying to promote yourself to be morally suspect. I love going somewhere like Japan where you can't understand a word of the advertising-- you just see it for its aesthetic beauty, without feeling that you're being sold something.
Pitchfork: Would you ever consider doing an actual ad for a company?
SD: It depends who they were or what it was. I wouldn't be crazy about it unless I had to pay a huge tax bill or one of my kids broke their leg or something.
Pitchfork: Have you been approached?
SD: Not really, no. I don't think they can find me. And I wouldn't go out looking for it.

Kurt Busch focused on present Chase battle for FRR
Aug 31, 2013, 8:43 PM EDT
Kurt Busch may be heading for Stewart-Haas Racing next season, but there's still the job of putting Furniture Row Racing into the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Two regular season races remain before the Chase begins, and Busch feels they're the most important two races in team history.
"We won't have any type of cushion whatsoever," he said on Friday at Atlanta Motor Speedway. "We have to race these next two against right now I see the Penske cars [Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano] as the two we are racing heads up.
"After Sunday night, after the Atlanta race, we will see exactly what numbers are going to be in front of us and how that will play out, but we can't go there to run 10th. We have to go there and run top five in these next two races."
Busch's attempt to earn a Chase berth took a hit last weekend at Bristol. A damaged right rear wheel hub relegated him to a 31st-place finish after he had led early in the race.
That's pretty much brought the margin for error to zero for "The Outlaw," who is six points out of the Top 10 in 12th position with no wins.
"The Chase for us started a few weeks back," he said. "We've had to be perfect and run sixth and run third and run these top fives up against the stats every week.
"When we had a week like we had last week with the right-rear hub falling off while we are leading the race, those are things that are tough to overcome."
Busch has been competitive lately at Atlanta, with two victories and four Top-10s in his last six starts on the 1.5-mile oval. He'll start 32nd for tomorrow night's Advocare 500.

St. Vincent, Midlake and Kelly Clarkson Chart On Pitchfork's Top 500 Tracks of The '00s
The folks at Pitchfork have taken the week of from reviewing new music--although, to their credit, they've been quite busy with another entertaining task: Counting down the top 500 tracks of the '00s.
(Sidenote: The locally based Gorilla Vs. Bear blog also released its favorite tracks and albums of the decade over this past week.)
And, by my count, at least three acts with North Texas ties got some love from Pitchfork's list: St. Vincent's "The Strangers," comes in at No. 492 (for another rendition of the song, check out the above clip our friends at Subservient Experiment clued us into today); Midlake's "Roscoe" checks in at No. 309; and Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone" charts at a very respectable No. 21.

This isn't a hugely important player loss, but it is a sad one. While Eddie Lacy is on the precipice of stardom, the other running back Green Bay drafted last year, Johnathan Franklin, will probably never play again due to a neck injury sustained during a kickoff last year in Week 12. The Packers will be giving him a waived/injured designation, and in a tweet today Franklin indicated that he needs to move to the next phase of his life. I hope he invested his rookie salary well.
2 comments, Last at 20 Jun 2014, 6:13pm by Whatev
Pretty sad as far as his career. Some people projected him to be better than Lacey. He's a smart guy and played his "senior season" as a grad student. One of his life's goals is to be mayor of LA. Maybe he can bring them a football team.
At a price that makes sense?

One Friend of Unfair Park Is Not Pleased At All With One Arts Plaza's No-Bikes-Allowed Policy
This morning, a Friend of Unfair Park who lives in Austin but has come home for work sends in this disgruntled missive:
I usually work and live in Austin. I ride my bike to work there frequently, and I've never once had an issue with a driver. I've worked in Dallas for a couple of weeks, ridden my bike and have been swerved at, honked at multiple times and had an overall poor experience.
I used to live here. Dallas' landscape is perfect for bike riding. Just the right amount of overall elevation and beautiful neighborhoods off the beaten path to explore. I love it. Austin, on the other hand, is slightly more difficult to ride. More of a challenge, I guess I should say. But I've never had an issue with people in cars.
I rode my bike to work today at One Arts Plaza and was shocked to discover I was not allowed to take my bike inside with me to my office. I had to lock it up on the lone bike rack for One Arts Plaza: the far SW corner near Ross Ave.
I find it ridiculous that One Arts Plaza limits the amount of light fixtures in each office and yet you're discouraged from choosing an energy-efficient mode of travel. It might be small potatoes, yes, but for Dallas to overcome its bike-friendly woes, it needs an attitude adjustment.
I've only lived in Austin for a year. How quickly I forgot that Big D stands for Douchebag.
I called over to One Arts' management office to see if that's so. Sure enough: No bikes allowed. "It is a policy." My next-door neighbor is outraged . Reminds Hanna, " That's illegal in New York. "

Dunn Center front lobby site as APSU introduces 13th athletics director
Clarksville, TN – An exciting new era of Governors athletics begins tomorrow when Austin Peay State University introduces its 13th director of athletics at a 1:30pm, press conference in the Dunn Center front lobby.

"I want to congratulate each of the student-athletes who earned recognition on the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll," said interim athletics director Cheryl Holt. "This award recognizes their hard work in the classroom throughout the year. I also want to thank our coaching staffs and academic support staff for their support of our student-athletes academic goals."

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste

"God willing, with the fall of the dollar, the deviant US imperialism will fall as soon as possible too," Chavez said after a two-hour closed meeting with his Iranian counterpart on Monday, according to Iran's IRNA news agency.
The one-day visit comes after Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, failed over the weekend to get Opec (Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) to stop trading in the US dollar.
"The US empire is coming down," Chavez told Venezuelan TV, saying the euro was a better option and that Latin American nations were also considering a common currency.
Common rhetoric
Al Jazeera's Nazanine Moshiri reporting from Tehran said despite the cultural differences, the presidents were united by a common anti-US rhetoric, with Chavez pledging to back Iran against US action.

"Iran is an example of struggle, resistance, dignity, revolution, strong faith," Chavez told Al Jazeera.
"We are two powerful countries. Iran is a power and Venezuela is becoming one. We want to create a bipolar world. We don't want a single power [that is, the USA]."
The presidents have agreed to set up a joint Iranian-Venezuelan bank and signed deals worth billions of dollars to boost co-operation in the oil industry.
The two men also blamed the US for the decline of the dollar and its negative effect on other countries.
Despite the will of the world arrogance [of the United States], we [Iran and Venezuela] will stand by the oppressed and deprived nations of the world," Ahmadinejad said.
The sliding dollar has pushed oil prices to a record high of $100 per barrel.
Both Iran and Venezuela have proposed trading oil in a basket of currencies to replace the falling dollar, but a final statement from Opec after the meeting did not include any reference to the weakening dollar.
Instead Opec vowed to keep providing Western consumers with an "adequate" supply of oil.

Just as America's Cup racers spent decades tuning the near perfect design formula of the 12-meter boats required by that event, so to have fishermen fine tuned the 58-ft Alaskan Limit seiner. The 58-ft limit was implemented in an early move to limit the size of vessels in the Alaskan salmon fishery. The boats are now used in many fisheries including halibut long lining and crab pot fisheries.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
10 Oct 2012 17:54 GMT | Politics, Europe, Germany, Turkey
Germany's cabinet has approved adraft law protecting the right to circumcise infant boys, which it says will end months of legal uncertainty after a local court banned the practice, causing outrage among Muslims and Jews.
The cabinet announced support for proposals om Wednesday that would explicitly allow the practice.
The June ruling by a Cologne district court that circumcision constitutes "bodily harm" prompted an emotional national debate about religious freedom and the procedure itself.
The case came to court after a doctor carried out the circumcision, and it led to medical complications.
The German Medical Association then told doctors across the country to stop performing the procedure - thousands of Muslim and Jewish boys are circumcised in the country every year.
European Jewish and Muslim groups joined forces to contest the ruling, which they said was "an affront (to) our basic religious and human rights".
An embarrassed German government pledged to bring in new legislation by the autumn to safeguard the right of parents to have their sons circumcised.
"It was always our intention to lift this ruling," Steffen Seibert, German government spokesman, said.
Parliament must still approve the bill for it to become law.
The speed with which national politicians agreed to draw up a new law underscored sensitivity to charges of intolerance in a country haunted by its Nazi past.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the country risked becoming a laughing stock if Jews were not allowed to practise their rituals.
The bill states that the operation should take place with the most effective pain relief possible and only if parents have been fully informed about the nature of the procedure.
About 120,000 Jews are registered as living in Germany along with around four million Muslims, many of them from Turkey.

Transcend SSD340 256GB SSD Review
Hot on the heels of a PNY Optima review, we have another low-cost SSD that promises to provide SSD performance without traditional SSD prices. Early SSDs suffered on two fronts: high failure rates and high prices. As with any new technology, time eliminates both of these issues. SSDs are now widely considered more reliable than the technology they replaced, and prices have shrunk to very low levels.
Almost as long as we've had performance SSDs, we've had lower tier mainstream models too. Most of these products shipped with lower quality flash but with the same high performance controller found on the flagship offerings. Some of the products were actually pretty good, but a very large number of them were cringingly bad.
Over time, the industry determined that using lower quality flash is the wrong way to approach the mainstream market. Micron's L85A flash also made the decision much easier to swallow. L85A, known by many as 20nm 128Gb die flash, is now very cheap and plentiful, so third-party SSD manufacturers can take on flash manufacturers in the mainstream SSD market.
Transcend isn't new to SSDs or low cost models designed for broad adoption. The SSD720 we reviewed last year was a solid offering and at times competed for the lowest priced mainstream SSD at Newegg. Transcend is back with a new mainstream SSD, this time using a JMicron controller but one that we've tested and liked in the past.
Specifications, Pricing and Availability
Transcend built three capacity sizes for the US market: 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB. A part number exists for a 32GB SDD 340 but we haven't seen it for sale online and suspect it's for emerging markets or embedded applications.
We didn't find any performance information on Transcend's website on the product page or in the datasheet. Newegg's page for the SSD340 256GB, the capacity we're reviewing today, states sequential read performance at 520 MB/s, sequential write speed at 290 MB/s, random reads at 69,000 IOPS, and random write IOPS at 68,000. All but the sequential write speed are higher than the PNY Optima we reviewed just two weeks ago and really liked.
A big reason why we liked the Optima so much has to do with the price, and the Transcend SSD340 comes very close to the same price point. The 256GB model we're testing today costs just $139.99. The 128GB model comes in at $69.99 and the 64GB drive at $57.74.
The Transcend SSD340 ships with a three-year warranty, desktop adapter bracket, screws for securing your drive, a quick installation guide, and a warranty card. Transcend now offers an SSD Toolbox-like software called SSD Scope. SSD Scope includes a disk-cloning feature so that you can easily clone the data from your existing drive to your Transcend SSD. The software is free to Transcend SSD owners, but you must download the software from the website; it doesn't ship with the Transcend drives.
PRICING: You can find the Transcend SSD340 SSD (2565GB) for sale below. The prices listed are valid at the time of writing but can change at any time. Click the link to see the very latest pricing for the best deal.
United States: The Transcend SSD340 SSD (2565GB) retails for $118.99 at Amazon.
Canada: The Transcend SSD340 SSD (2565GB) retails for CDN$176.51 at Amazon Canada.

There is always a vague justification... like "business strategy". But the overriding strategy seems to fund the dividend which is shrinking the business.

or the fading ability to manage the number....
It's hard to wrap your mind around the business strategy... P&G gets rid of Jif because it says it's not a global brand, then dumps Pringles which is a global billion dollar brand. They want to focus on a few big brands and then sells off Folgers another billion dollar brand. Then lately they want to get rid of the smaller brands to focus on a few big ones and they market a high end product called Swash which is niche at best.Aug 28, 2014. 02:40 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

Geez you are really working the justification.... Lafely retired in 2010 and PG stock lost it's momentum before the 'crash' in 2008. Look at a chart from 2000 to 2005 (when Gillette was acquired) you can see P&G is up 75% and S&P is down 15% primarily due to aggressive cost cutting and momentum, not growth. After the Gillette acquisition PG was nearly parity the S&P growth, and never got any better (Chart 2005 -2010) - Lafely put so much emphasis on BeautyCare and Gillette, misreading all of the external data, while decimating the brands that might have provided growth with cost cutting. To date the pain continues Lafely hasn't done any better than MacDonald and one could argue is doing worse because Lafely is providing short term gain at the expense of long term profit.
I wouldn't short PG but I don't think PG is a buy anymore.Aug 18, 2014. 02:41 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Nope good try... Lafley took over after the fiasco with Jäger when he thought he'd buy American brands I think, and the investors drove the price of the stock down. Pepper was called back to be the temporary CEO and hand picked Lafley. Lafley got credit for the bounce back, which was silly, when Lafley was named CEO in 2000. After the bounce the stock grew modestly until he overpaid for Gillette...then flat, and he's been selling the company ever since, making nonsensical arguments to justify the shrinkage.

This is a great article, finally a SA author with some courage. Yes P&G was a great stock, I owned alot of it for a long time. But I do know current leadership is lazy and uninformed besides that fact the continuous cost cutting has left them without the talent or means to grow easily from within.
P&G needs to grow or it will die, just like any other business. This constant selling of P&G brands, and trimming costs is not growing the business, and faith won't make the stock go higher. Organic growth is key to P&G performance, and 2% is as bad as it gets, and what you'd expect with Lafley. The stock has been flat for the majority of Lafley's tenure.... there is a good indication of the futureAug 15, 2014. 02:54 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment

Christmas In Qatar
Christmas In Qatar Chorus: Verse: Chorus: Verse: Chorus:
The shopping starts, and every store's a zoo
I'm frantic, too: I haven't got a clue
Of what to get for Dad, who's got no hobby,
Or why Aunt Jane, who's shaped like a kohlrabi,
Wants frilly sweater sets, or where I'll find
A tie my loudmouthed Uncle Jack won't mind.
A shopper's told it's vital he prevails:
Prosperity depends on Christmas sales.
"Can't stop to talk," I say. "No time. Can't halt.
Economy could fail. Would be my fault."
I'd like to spend next Christmas in Qatar,
Or someplace else that Santa won't find handy.
Qatar will do, although, Lord knows, it's sandy.
I need to get to someplace pretty far
I'd like to spend next Christmas in Qatar.
Young Cousin Ned, his presents on his knees,
Says Christmas wrappings are a waste of trees.
Dad's staring, vaguely puzzled, at his gift.
And Uncle Jack, to give us all a lift,
Now tells a Polish joke he heard at work.
So Ned calls Jack a bigot and a jerk.
Aunt Jane, who knows that's true, breaks down and cries.
Then Mom comes out to help, and burns the pies.
Of course, Jack hates the tie. He'll take it back.
That's fair, because I hate my Uncle Jack.
I'd like to spend next Christmas in Tibet,
Or any place where folks cannot remember
That there is something special in December.
Tibet's about as far as you can get.
I'd like to spend next Christmas in Tibet.
Mom's turkey is a patriotic riddle:
It's red and white, plus bluish in the middle.
The blue's because the oven heat's not stable.
The red's from ketchup Dad snuck to the table.
Dad says he loves the eyeglass stand from me--
Unless a sock rack's what it's meant to be.
"A free-range turkey's best," Ned says. "It's pure."
"This hippie stuff," Jack says, "I can't endure."
They say goodbye, thank God. It's been a strain.
At least Jack's tie has got a ketchup stain.
I'd like to spend next Christmas in Rangoon,
Or any place where Christmas is as noisy
As Buddhist holidays might be in Boise.
I long to hear Der Bingle smoothly croon,
'I'm dreaming of a Christmas in Rangoon"-
Or someplace you won't hear the Christmas story,
And reindeer's something eaten cacciatore.
I know things can't go on the way they are.
I'd like to spend next Christmas in Qatar.
