Study Estimates 151,000 Civilian Deaths in Iraq
A new study of the civilian death toll since the U.S. invasion of Iraq has put the number of Iraqi deaths at 151,000. The World Health Organization and the Iraqi government arrived at the figures from door-to-door surveys at nearly 10,000 homes. The figure is far lower than a 2006 Johns Hopkins University study that estimated 600,000 Iraqi deaths. Despite the difference, researchers concluded their findings still show "a massive death toll in the wake of the 2003 invasion." The new study also dwarfs other estimates, including President Bush's estimate of 30,000 Iraqi deaths in December 2005.
U.S. Launches Massive Air Raids in Iraq
Meanwhile in Iraq, the U.S. military has launched a massive bombing campaign on southern Baghdad. U.S. warplanes have dropped more than 40,000 pounds of bombs over the past two days. The U.S. says it's targeting al-Qaeda strongholds in the village of Arab Jabour. The bombing comes two days into a nationwide military offensive dubbed "Phantom Phoenix." At least nine U.S. troops have been killed in Diyala Province since the campaign began.
Lone Officer Charged in Abu Ghraib Scandal Has Conviction Dismissed
The only military officer charged in the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal has had his one conviction dismissed. Lt. Col. Steven Jordan was cleared last year of allegations he personally abused prisoners and trained other soldiers convicted of mistreatment. He was found guilty on one count of disobeying command by speaking about the ongoing probe when he was ordered not to. But this week Major General Richard Rowe dismissed that conviction. Jordan once faced up to sixteen years in prison.
Report: Blackwater Dropped Toxin on Crowded Checkpoint
The private military firm Blackwater Worldwide is facing new allegations of unlawful activity in Iraq, this time for dropping a heavily restricted riot-control gas on a crowded Baghdad checkpoint in May 2005. According to the New York Times, the release of the CS gas by a Blackwater helicopter and armored vehicle temporarily blinded drivers, pedestrians and at least ten American soldiers. Blackwater is already under scrutiny for a mass shooting in Baghdad that killed seventeen Iraqis last September. Military witnesses say Blackwater personnel appeared to release the gas as a way to clear a traffic jam that was blocking their route. The gas is only authorized for use in dangerous situations. Its effects include burning and watering eyes, skin irritation, coughing and breathing difficulties, nausea and vomiting. Blackwater says it reported the incident to the U.S. embassy and that the case was investigated. But U.S. officials could not confirm that an investigation occurred.
Pentagon Wants 3,000 More U.S. Troops in Afghanistan
The Pentagon has announced it plans to propose sending an additional 3,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan. More than 26,000 U.S. service members are currently deployed. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has been urging NATO allies to boost their commitments but has failed to win any pledges for more troops.
In Mideast Visit, Bush Affirms Support for Israeli Settlement Blocs
In Israel and the Occupied Territories, President Bush is in the West Bank today for talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Bush met with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert on Wednesday, the first of his three-day trip. Speaking alongside Olmert in Jerusalem, Bush said he will push Israel to remove scattered settlement outposts but reiterated his endorsement of Israel's plan to retain its large West Bank settlement blocs.
President Bush: "He understands he has an obligation to protect Israel. He also understands that he's got to be circumspect — reasonable about how he does it, so that innocent people don't suffer. He just gave you the answer on the settlements. In terms of outposts, yeah, they ought to go. Look, I mean, we've been talking about it for four years. The agreement was — get rid of outposts, illegal outposts, and they ought to go."
Palestinian negotiators have called the settlement blocs the main obstacle to peace.
Bush Warns Iran on Naval Dispute
Meanwhile, President Bush also continued to criticize Iran for a naval confrontation between Iranian and U.S. boats this week.
President Bush: "Our ships were moving along very peacefully off the Iranian border, in territorial waters — international waters, and Iranian boats came out and were very provocative. And it was a dangerous gesture on their part. We have made it clear, publicly, and they know our position, and that is there will be serious consequences if they attack our ships, pure and simple."
Iran has accused the U.S. of faking video footage showing Iranian speedboats approaching the U.S. warships.
Ex-CIA Official Demands Immunity for Videotape Testimony
The former CIA official who ordered the destruction of videotapes documenting prisoner interrogations has reportedly said he won't testify before Congress without a grant of immunity. Jose Rodriguez was head of the CIA's clandestine service when he ordered the tapes' destruction in November 2005. He was subpoenaed last month.
NSA: "No Attack Happened" in Gulf of Tonkin
Newly declassified documents have provided more evidence the Johnson administration faked the Gulf of Tonkin incident to escalate the Vietnam War. The alleged 1964 attack on U.S. warships by North Vietnamese was used as a pretext to increase bombing and troop deployments in Vietnam. But a report from the National Security Agency concludes "no attack happened that night."
Cuba Marks 49th Anniversary of Cuban Revolution
Cuba is marking the forty-ninth anniversary of the Cuban Revolution, the victorious uprising against the U.S.-backed Batista dictatorship. Thousands of people gathered in Havana at a rally organized by the Union of Communist Youths.
Cesar Martinez Gonzalez: "Today we strongly reaffirm more than ever: Viva Fidel, Viva Raul, Viva the fatherland."
Cuban President Fidel Castro was absent from the celebrations, as he continues to be sidelined by illness.
Richardson to Withdraw from Democratic Presidential Race
In campaign news, New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson is reportedly set to announce today he's withdrawing from the Democratic presidential race. Richardson placed fourth in back-to-back contests in Iowa and New Hampshire. Meanwhile, candidates were back on the campaign trail on Wednesday, one day after Senators Hillary Clinton and John McCain won in New Hampshire. Speaking on NBC's Today Show, Clinton talked about her widely reported display of emotion when she was asked about the personal toll of running a campaign.
Sen. Hillary Clinton: "I don't get up every morning to go out and make a great speech, shake a million hands and then go to bed at night and say good for you. I go out to say, 'What can I do for you? How can I make your country what it should be?' When the woman said to me, 'How do you do that?' I really felt touched by that, and I think we did connect in a very personal level."
Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Barack Obama vowed to rebound from his second-place finish in New Hampshire as the Democratic primaries move on to South Carolina, Michigan and Nevada. Obama spoke at a rally in New Jersey.
Sen. Barack Obama: "My voice is a little hoarse. My eyes are a little bleary. My back is a little sore. But my spirit is strong. And I am ready to bring about change in America. How about you?"
Obama has picked up the endorsement of Nevada's Culinary Workers Union, with some 60,000 members.
New Principal Hired at N.Y. Arabic-Language School Following Founder's Ouster
Here in New York, a new principal has been hired at the city's first public Arabic-language school, five months after its founding principal was forced to resign. Holly Reichert began her new term at Khalil Gibran International Academy in Brooklyn on Wednesday. Her predecessor, Debbie Almontaser, was forced to resign shortly before the school opened after she was quoted explaining that the word "intifada" literally means "shaking off" in Arabic. Almontaser was criticized for failing to denounce the use of the word intifada on t-shirts. She has filed a federal lawsuit against the city over her dismissal.
Chicago Approves $20M Settlement in Torture Case
And in Chicago, the City Council has voted to approve a nearly $20 million settlement to four former death row prisoners who gave false confessions after being tortured by Chicago police. The four men are all African American. They sued former Chicago Police Commander Jon Burge and more than twenty officers who worked with him, alleging that they were coerced into falsely confessing to murder. In 2006, special prosecutors released a long-awaited report stating there was proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Burge and four other former officers abused suspects to extract confessions in the 1980s. Charges have never been filed against Burge. He was fired in 1993 but is still receiving a yearly police pension.

1877 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC....
Gem Red and Brown 1877 Cent
1877 1C MS65 Red and Brown PCGS. CAC. This Gem Red and Brown
key-date 1877 Indian cent is kept from a full Red designation (and
a much higher price) only by a bit of speckled blue patina over
each side. Nonetheless, a remarkable amount of deep cherry-red
luster prevails over both sides, lending notable eye appeal that is
further enhanced by an absence of mentionable abrasions. The strike
is sharp overall, even if a tad of weakness appears on the feather
tips. Gem Red and Brown and Gem Brown cent collections are both
increasingly popular and quite rewarding. Population: 58 in 65 (1
in 65+) Red and Brown, 3 finer (9/12).(Registry

Fantasy owners love handcuffs. We know that near the final rounds of fantasy drafts there are several backup running backs that go off the board. Some fantasy owners are looking for insurance if they selected an elite back in the top two rounds. Some fantasy owners are looking to rock block an opponent by stealing away a backup for a key player on another team. And some fantasy owners are just looking for a lottery ticket to scratch.
There are some backup situations which are clear cut in 2013. If you have Vikings running back Adrian Peterson then everyone knows you need backup Toby Gerhart. If you have Texans running back Arian Foster then grab Ben Tate as his handcuff. If you have Eagles running back LeSean McCoy then add Bryce Brown later in your draft. If you have Ravens running back Ray Rice then adding Bernard Pierce is a wise move.
However, there are some situations which aren't so clear. In this series "Who's The Handcuff?" I'll examine these situations and determine which one (if any) of these backup RBs should be handcuffed to the starter. Next up: Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.
Lynch has become one of the best RBs in the game today. His hard charging style is fun to watch and he loves to initiate contact, attacking would be tacklers. Last season Lynch had career highs in rushing attempts (315), rushing yards (1,506), and yards per carry (5.0). He also had the second-highest total touchdowns of his career (12) and proved that "Beast Mode" was no fluke. He was incredibly consistent in 2012, with at least 85 yards rushing in all but two of his 16 games. Lynch is quietly becoming a better receiver out of the backfield too. His yards per catch have improved every year he's been in the league and last year he had a strong 8.5 average. Lynch has a bloodhound's nose for the end zone. Over the last two seasons Lynch scored 13 rushing touchdowns inside the five-yard line. The Seahawks and head coach Pete Carroll seem content to feed Lynch the rock once again in 2013 despite the development of quarterback Russell Wilson and the addition of star wide receiver Percy Harvin. The Seahawks were the most run heavy offense in the league in 2012 with an average of 33.5 rushing attempts per game. Lynch should face fewer stacked boxes with Harvin in the mix. This will lead to wide open rushing lanes that allow Beast Mode to build an even bigger head of steam. There are durability concerns with Lynch as back spasms have plagued him over the last few years. He rarely misses a game but will often show up on the injury report as Questionable. This injury concern should be of note for fantasy owners considering Lynch in the first round of fantasy drafts. It makes the handcuff decision even more critical.
In the fourth-round of the 2012 NFL draft the Seahawks selected Robert Turbin out of Utah State. Turbin had a strong showing as a rookie and even notched a 100-yard rushing game (20 carries, 108 yards) against the Cardinals in week 14. He was almost used as much as a receiver as Lynch was in 2012. Even though he was a part time reserve player Turbin only finished with four fewer catches (19) than Lynch (23) last season. Turbin even had a better yards per catch average (9.5) than Lynch (8.5). Outside of Bernard Pierce (Ravens), Turbin was one of the most productive and exciting backup rookie rushers to watch last year.
Turbin is listed at 5'10", 222 pounds and can absolutely hammer opponents between the tackles. He is a grinder who loves to punish defenders. A load for defenders to bring down, Turbin uses his shoulder pads as striking objects. Turbin has enough burst to make it to the corner, and he does a good job of seeing cutback lanes. He runs with good forward lean and has the leg drive to consistently run through arm tackles. Turbin does a good job of fighting for extra yards after contact. Even though he's a big back Turbin has proven that he can make a few big plays. He had three career touchdowns of 80 or more yards at Utah State.
Durability is Turbin's biggest concern. He missed two full seasons in college due to injury as he runs with little regard for his personal safety. Turbin has never seen a collision that he didn't like and that's a problem. Great backs have vision to find cutback lanes, or they can improvise at the second level to continue downfield. What you see is what you get with Turbin. He runs with build up speed and isn't the type of runner who is overly creative or elusive in the open field. He's a no-nonsense back who is a one-cut, downhill zone runner.
I watched plenty of Turbin on tape coming out of college. He was a back who wore down as games (and the season) went on. His yards per carry fell from 6.4 during the first three months of the season to 4.4 during the last two months of the year in 2011. He also saw his yards per carry fall from 6.4 in the first three quarters to 3.78 in the fourth quarter. When the field was cramped in the red zone Turbin only averaged 3.0 yards per carry. In our 2012 Footballguys online magazine I compared Turbin to a less elusive Marshawn Lynch. Turbin was a workhorse in college but as a pro he fits best as a tandem back in the right system.
In the 2013 NFL draft the Seahawks selected Michael in the third-round out of Texas A&M. Michael burst onto the scene as a freshman rushing for 844 yards and standing out with his high energy style. He was named Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year and the future looked bright for Michael in 2009. The rest of his college career was a bit of a roller coaster ride with durability and attitude questions preventing him from playing up to his enormous potential.
Michael has proper NFL size for a RB, checking in at 5'10", 220 pounds. Sigmund Bloom has given him the nickname "Starbucks" because of his high energy style. Michael's legs pound like pistons in the ground and he can powerfully change direction quickly. His hard charging style also helps him run through arm tackles when he's at the second level. Michael's short area quickness is what really stands out on film. He can get to top speed in a hurry and has the vision to anticipate where holes (and cutback lanes) are opening up in front of him. Michael runs with a low center of gravity and keeps his legs moving after contact. He runs angry and refuses to go down easily, always fighting and pushing for extra yards. In 2012 Michael wasn't quite recovered from the ACL injury that cut his 2011 season short. However, he did average a whopping 7.27 yards per carry on third downs last year.
Durability and attitude problems abound when looking at Michael as a pro prospect. His 2010 season was cut short by a broken right leg. In 2011 his season was cut short by a torn ACL in his left knee. In 2012 Michael butted heads with new head coach Kevin Sumlin and received a smaller workload as he was in the coach's doghouse. Michael is also a work in progress when it comes to pass protection. It's a weak spot to his game and one that needs to be cleaned up before he would ever get an expanded role as a pro. Michael has a good initial burst but even at full strength does not possess true homerun speed.
I watched Michael earlier this year during the week of practices for the 2013 Shrine Game in Tampa, FL. His hard charging style was on display, as was his quick initial burst. In fact, Michael had a couple of runs in practice that initially drew "oohs" from the crowd of scouts on the sidelines. However, those "oohs" turned into "meh" when he got to the second level. I saw Safeties with bad angles catch Michael from behind. Some think he's still not fully recovered from that 2011 ACL injury but it further accentuated what I saw on film from Michael. He's fast in a short space but doesn't have long speed. Michael also struggled in pass protection drills during that week of practice. I love his high energy, effort, and anger/tenacity as a runner but Michael didn't blow me away in Tampa. Respected analyst Matt Williamson, from ESPN.com, had high praise for Michael this offseason. "Expect Pete Carroll and company to harness Michael's great talent by bringing him along slowly." Williamson continued, "By 2016, he will be a total stud and a true every-down running back. Ignoring their extenuating circumstances, (Marcus) Lattimore and Michael are the most talented all-around running backs from this latest draft class." Michael also earned praise at OTAs for his work with the first team offense as a pass catcher, something he wasn't known for in college.
This is a tough one to call and I've changed my mind a few times this offseason on which ONE is the best. I feel the proper answer is either/or. Both backs make a nice handcuff to Marshawn Lynch. Seattle has an embarassment of riches at the RB position.
Turbin has the experience and did look good in a part time role as a rookie. His current ADP is RB66 and he's coming off the board at 13.11 in 12 team PPR leagues. Michael is the more explosive rookie and we've heard a few positive reports about him this offseason. His current ADP is RB67 (just one behind Turbin) and he's coming off the board at 13.12 in 12 team PPR leagues. As you can see the fantasy community is split on who to handcuff to Lynch.
Bottom line is this: Both are good handcuffs and there may be some fantasy owners who try to lock down all three in deeper leagues. If Turbin goes off the board then don't feel bad about grabbing Michael right after that. In fact, if Lynch were to go down with an injury I feel it's Michael who has the best ability to be the lead back. Michael's attitude problems are likley to be a non-issue with renowned players coach Pete Carroll. Either way both make for nice additions late in your draft and could fill in as low end RB2s if Lynch misses time with an injury. This situation has RBBC written all over it in the event of an emergency.

Shuttle SG33G5 SFF XPC - Intel G33 - Benchmarks - PreyToday we're having a look at one of Shuttle's new "Glamor" series XPCs, this one sporting the Intel G33 chipset.
Version and / or Patch Used: Unpatched
Timedemo or Level Used: HardwareOC Custom Benchmark
Developer Homepage: http://www.humanhead.com
Product Homepage: http://www.prey.com
Prey is one of the newest games to be added to our benchmark line-up. It is based off the Doom 3 engine and offers stunning graphics passing what we've seen in Quake 4 and does put quite a lot of strain on our test systems.
Prey painted a similar picture with it not being able to complete the tests. We can see that the HD 2600 cards though are able to help low-res gamers.

'Built-in projector'
'Bright 3-inch screen'
'Projector is handy'
'Clear and bright screen'
'The battery life is short and the overall design could use some help.'
'great feature rich compact camera'
'*GPS feature generally works well, photo locations show fine in Apple Aperture. '
'weak little batteries'
'excellent image quality'
'Incredible focal range'
'16x zoom lens (24 - 384mm).'
'built-in GPS'
'Disappointing low-light/high-ISO photos'
'This little digital camera can deliver great still images and surprisingly high-quality 1080i HD video, and it's extremely fast, to boot.'
'Despite its exceptional specification it has a sleek shape that it almost small enough to earn the description "ultra-compact", measuring 103.5 x 55.8 x 24.5mm.'
'For printing at and below 8 x 10 inches with minimal cropping, its lower ISO photos are very good. '
'its overall photo quality is less exceptional.'
'The neat design and great build are, perhaps, typically Sony, as is the price, but this little camera combines some advanced features with simplicity of use. '
'If you need a small digital camera that can also shoot Full HD video, then the tiny Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 is a worthy choice. '
'Its shooting performance, low-light photo quality and movie options make it an excellent party companion.'
'The rounded body is difficult to grip comfortably and certainly too big to fit in a pants pocket. '
'the first ruggedized point-and-shoot camera from Canon '
'Canon claims it's water-resistant to depths of 10m.
'In that vein, one of the defining features of the D10 is it's environmental sealing. Yes, the D10 name is matched by waterproofing down to depths of 10 metres and the promise of operating in minus 10 degrees too. It also features shock resistance, so will take the odd bash.
'Built to a high standard'
'Good quality build'
'Good image quality'
'Sleek, slick and funky'
'Nice little camera'
'Measuring 3.75 by 2.38 by 0.66 inches and weighing five ounces, the DSC-TX1 is small enough to fit into a coat pocket, and it won't take up a lot of room in a purse. '
'If you're all gussied up, you might as well bring a camera like Sony's fashion-conscious, 10.2-megapixel , a touchscreen camera that lets you party instead of fussing with camera settings.
'Like the T90, the TX1 isn't the quickest camera off the mark — shutter lag measures 0.3 second, and in the high-speed burst mode the TX1 captures 10 frames in rapid succession, at an interval of approximately 0.1 second between each shot. '
'Luckily, the T90 has more to offer than just widescreen-ready images. '
'Touchscreen menus.'
'pretty sleek looking camera'
'Useful touch screen'
'This is a 12.2MP shooter, which is said to work well in low light conditions.'
'The new Nikon Coolpix S1100pj has in its heart a 40% brighter, 14-lumen projector with a built-in stand and a much improved 3-inch touchscreen that combines a simple control interface for access to menus as well as allowing you to touch a relevant area of the screen to focus at that point and quickly take a snap in a single touch.'
'its overall image quality is very pleasing, but it's a practically automatic camera.'
'Focusing felt zippy when we shot under bright daylight conditions, and as with most other point-and-shoots, it required more time to hunt for the subject when used in a dim environment.'

... region in the early 20th century). Where we are is a fertile plain full of orange groves. To the north, the coastline gets a bit more rocky and the town of Nicotera sits on the hill about 6 km away. We can see the volcanic peaks of the Aeolian Islands out to sea. They are part of the chain of volcanoes that link Vesuvius near Naples with Etna on Sicily.

Mammola day 2
... We had a siesta and then headed to the town. Don bought an espresso and I had a gelato ingliese and creme caramel. We sat with our new friend Nicodemo Agostinos. He had befriended us on FB. Don showed him photos of Australia. Off we walked to the Town hall or municipio. A man coming out of an office said we needed to come back tomorrow to get info on where Don's mum and dad lived in Mammola and where Don's maternal grandmother was buried ...

We would never have found it without the boisterous tour guide. He seemed to know everyone and greeted them as we past. We went through extremely skinny pathways to Lisa's house. The neighbour came out and we explained who we were and she said to come to her sons restaurant a Piazzetta tonight. Our guide wanted to ...

After a brekkie of fruit, chocolate croissant and cake we were on the road. To get out of Isola was a logistically nightmare! The GP s was correct but that road was cut off due to construction so we did 35 min circuit of town till we finally found our way. Our backs were sore as the beds in southern Italy tend to be very hard so we weren't in the ...

About this design:
This completes the set for Granny Nancy. :) I forgot to post this earlier.
She had requested a design like my cherry blossom necklace posted earlier.
Components:Dogtooth Amethyst, crystals, chain, craft wire, all LB. Pearls in 2 shapes, spacers, beadcaps, findings, random places. I added several extra big loops Nancy can use with the toggle bar to adjust the size.

Beautiful Becky. Great design & color.
Simply beautiful!
Love the way those silver leaves "capture" the amethyst!
WOW!!!! Gorgeous!
Beautiful work. This is lovely because it has lots of color,but it's still soft.
LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!! So pretty. Simple but detailed.
Becky, this is so pretty, loving the leaves with amethyst, I might borrow the idea
I love this design. The petals/leaves behind the keshi pearls make this piece so elegant.
Thank you all for your wonderful encouragement! Nancy, unfortunately it rode around in the car for a few days until we got off work early enough to finally get to the post office. It will be there soon! I wanted this piece to have the same flavor as the cherry blossom piece but to still be unique. I hope it works for you, Nancy!
Really beautiful! Where did you get the silver leaves?
Really lovely…and love those leaves.
Beautifully done.Becky I would like to know where you got the silver petals? Anna
I think they came from Firemountain gems. I have had them for awhile and have only been using them a few at a time. They have a satiny finish and are pewter colored.
And thank you for your nice comments!
Beautiful, dolche necklace!
Love this beautiful bracelet , Becky!
Beautiful design. I love the silver leaves….so pretty!!
So very pretty!

ICICI Bank net rises 14% as bad loans stabiliseCountrys largest private sector lender ICICI Bank on Friday reported 14 rise in its consolidated net profit for the June quarter at Rs 3232 crore and hinted at an end to the asset quality woes which Hindustan Times, 6 hours ago
ICICI bank surprises market, profit up 12 per cent - Asian Age, 7 hours ago
ICICI Bank net up 12% at Rs 2,976 crore - The Financial Chronicle, 10 hours ago

NZ lags in productivity stakes
Relevant offers
Better Business
Many New Zealand industries, including agriculture, are less productive than their counterparts in Australia, according to a new study on the widening trans-Tasman productivity gap by British economist Geoff Mason.
Mason, who did the research for the Productivity Commission, found a lack of investment capital was a major reason behind New Zealand's poor productivity record.
But the efficiency with which it used labour and capital was the biggest factor.
New Zealand's labour productivity is about two-thirds of Australia's, in terms of the amount of gross domestic output for every hour worked.
In monetary terms, that difference is about $25 per hour.
The commission's director of economics, Paul Conway, said one reason was that New Zealand employed more people in low value-added industries like food and drink manufacturing and agriculture.
"Australia has more employment in high productivity industries whereas New Zealand has a higher employment share in lower productivity industries and that explains about 30 per cent of that gap, Conway said.
"But most of it is due to [factors] within industries."
The report looked at 24 comparable industries in both countries, and particularly at their skill levels and the level of available capital, such as machinery or computers, per hour worked.
Based on 2009 data, it found New Zealand put almost 40 per cent less money into capital than Australia.
"We're a capital-shallow economy compared to Australia," Conway said.
However, a lack of capital explained only $9 of the $25 productivity gap. Another $15 was attributable to "multifactor" productivity, the efficiency with which labour and capital are used.
New Zealand was 22 per cent lower in multifactor productivity than Australia, which was "a part of labour productivity that you can't attribute to growth in capital or skills per hour," Conway said.
"A lot of things impact on it, innovation, managerial effectiveness, scale ... It's kind of a catch-all term for all those things you associated with productivity."
As a result, the report said the majority of New Zealand industries surveyed were underperforming compared to their Australian counterparts.
Mining, agriculture, most branches of manufacturing, construction, retail and wholesale trade and financial and insurance services were included in that category.
However, New Zealand had the upper hand in food and drink manufacturing, utilities and arts and recreation services.
The remaining $1 in the productivity gap was due to skill levels, which were just 3 per cent lower in New Zealand based on qualifications and relative pay levels.
Conway said skill levels being not that different between the two countries was unsurprising, but that agriculture was considered more productive in Australia had "raised some eyebrows".
Part of the reason could be the inclusion of less productive primary industries such as forestry under "agriculture", he said.
There were also big structural differences such as cheap hydro-electric power in New Zealand which made comparisons difficult.
"It's important to acknowledge that we're talking about Australia here, which had a very good productivity performance over the 90s ... So the comparison we're using here is a very high bar.
"Australia is one of the top productivity growth countries in the OECD.
"But the point remains that compared to Australia and indeed compared to a broader subset of countries, New Zealand has had a pretty poor productivity performance over the last four decades," Conway said.

Introducing Pitchfork at 15
By Ryan Schreiber and Mark Richardson , August 15, 2011
Pitchfork at 15: An Introduction
By Ryan Schreiber, Founder/CEO
A decade and a half feels like an eternity on the Internet. In the late summer of 1996, when Pitchfork launched as a daily music review site, the web itself had just turned five, and the tools that now power our daily online lives-- search engines, social networks, and mp3s-- were either embryonic or years away from invention. In its infancy, the web essentially served one purpose: to provide its users with a platform to self-publish material that could be accessed by anyone with a connection. It's easy to take that ability for granted today, but to a kid from Minnesota who had dreamed for years of one day starting his own music publication, it was revolutionary.
I could never have guessed then what that tiny webzine would accomplish-- that in time, it would come to be read by a few million people each month, spawn a series of music festivals in Chicago, New York, Austin, and Paris, and realize my initial goal of aiding fans in their discovery of music many times over. But I couldn't have done a tenth of it on my own.
Pitchfork is the result of countless hours of hard work by the hundreds of music obsessives who've poured in their time, talents, and enthusiasm over these past 15 years to help this site become one of the most comprehensive music resources online. This week is dedicated to exploring their contributions and to celebrating the music we've been fortunate enough to cover during the site's first decade and a half of existence. Most of all, it's dedicated to our readers, without whom we would be writing into a void. Thanks, and enjoy.
A Decade and Change With Pitchfork
By Mark Richardson, Editor-in-Chief
In the fall of 1997 I was working as a case clerk in a large law office in San Francisco. I knew nothing about law or clerking, but found myself moving up the ladder by virtue of showing up on time and knowing how to type and alphabetize. I even had my own little office with a door that closed, which meant I could surf the web when I was supposed to be typing subpoenas, and then I would bill that web-surfing time to a large, multi-national corporation.
During one of those afternoons goofing off in the office, I came across a site called Pitchfork. The first thing I saw on the front page was an interview with Dean Wareham from Luna/Galaxie 500, which interested me. I also saw a notice that Pitchfork was accepting applications for new writers, which interested me even more. Earlier that year, a friend and I had started a small online webzine dedicated to covering Bay Area hip-hop, with a focus on the scratch DJ scene. It was my first stab writing about music, and I was hoping to do more of it. So I sent links to a few pieces to the site's owner, Ryan Schreiber. Then I submitted a spec review of Modest Mouse's latest album, The Lonesome, Crowded West. It was accepted. By February 1998, I was a regular contributor.
Through 1998 and 1999, I typically reviewed two albums a week for Pitchfork, and I could see the site growing little by little. There was a milestone where the site got 3,000 hits in one day. Other music sites started paying attention. Once in a while I'd get an email from someone who saw a review I'd written. I was getting the distinct feeling that this thing I signed up for on a lark was going to stick around.
Back then, the internet felt atomized-- a huge web of disconnected, standalone sites, any one of which was very hard to find. That feeling extended to people, too. Though Usenet had been around awhile by the late 1990s and message boards were starting to proliferate, it was difficult to "know" someone online in the days before social media and blogs. Anonymity was the rule and not the exception. So it was harder for Pitchfork writers (and music writers in general) to gain a sense of community, especially if you weren't plugged into local, real-life scenes where writers could meet face-to-face.
But when Pitchfork first moved into the live show arena in 2005 as curators of the Intonation Festival, I finally met some of the writers I'd been reading and emailing with for years. And in 2006, when we had our first Pitchfork Music Festival, the annual event started to feel like a family reunion. In addition to the Fest's great music-- and there was a ton of it-- I looked forward to hanging out with my friends. The Pitchfork Festival became a way to extend these internet connections into the physical world.
I mention all this as a way of pointing out that Pitchfork is made up of people. For a lot of readers, I suspect that Pitchfork can seem like a unified front rather than a site where the thoughts and ideas of a few dozen people on the subject of music come together in one place. From my perspective, Pitchfork is a lot more than a website or a brand or a festival. It is above all else the people who make it, and our communication with an audience invested in what we have to say.
Pitchfork started small and snarky and funny. For most contributors, the initial brief was to write 300 words on a record and crack a few jokes and if there was a bit of musical insight along the way, all the better. So many-- but certainly not all-- of the site's earliest reviews are heavy on the shit-talking and light on the discussion of the music at hand. There is a long tradition of that in music writing. But, gradually, more knowledge was brought to bear, the quality of writing improved, and Pitchfork blossomed into a real resource. Some readers still mourn the shift from the sillier early days; others are unaware that it ever happened. But as Pitchfork started to produce more content-- adding news, moving up to four and then five reviews a day, expanding features, adding festivals and then Pitchfork.tv-- the growth of the site started to sink in.
I was writing about music for a lot of places by the 2000s, but Pitchfork continued to be the outlet I cared about most. It still felt small and personal, even as it got bigger. It was where I could write long if I felt like I had ideas, and where I could discuss music in a personal way. It was a place where I was allowed to figure out my own thoughts and develop a writing voice in a way that made sense.
Pitchfork has changed immeasurably since those earliest days, but our commitment to sharing what we think about music remains. This is still what we love to do, and now, many years on, some of us actually get to do it for a living. Every once in a while, the improbability of this becomes apparent, and we feel immense gratitude. Personally, I'm thankful for Ryan for starting the site, and to Pitchfork President Chris Kaskie and my predecessor as Editor-in-Chief, Scott Plagenhoef, for working with him to grow it, and to all of our contributors for bringing their best writing to a place where it can be appreciated. Most of all, I appreciate our readership for staying with us through these years of change.
In years past, we've typically run a big list in August. It was P2k: The Decade in Music in 2009, and The Top 200 Tracks of the 90s last year. To celebrate Pitchfork turning 15, we're going to do something a little different this week: a series of features where we look back at the history of the site and the evolution of music in the last decade and a half. We'll be talking to artists about the music in their lives and the changes they've seen during this period, we'll highlight some content from across the site, and we'll point out some interesting pieces from years past that you might have missed along with others that are not currently live on the site, as we share where Pitchfork has been. As ever, thanks for reading. Next Monday, we'll be back to normal, our eyes trained on the future.

Kashmir BJP slams Congress for `misleading` people
Jammu: The Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) Sunday lashed out at the Congress party for trying to mislead people by protesting against the 73rd and 74th amendments of the constitution on the one hand and continuing to ally with the National Conference (NC).
Addressing a news conference here, BJP chief spokesperson and national excecutive member Jitendra Singh said that the Congress takes credit for initiating the 73rd and 74th amendments during the tenure of then prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
Singh alleged that while these amendments are a part of the Congress` election manifesto, the state Congress unit has not been able to get the amendments implemented by the state government.
"If the state Congress leadership is genuinely honest about its intentions it should immediately withdraw from the coalition government, its ministers should resign and its leaders and workers should join hands with the BJP to launch a joint opposition agitation against National Conference-led government," Singh said.
This was in reference to the protest march taken out by Youth Congress workers in Srinagar Friday in which protesters were cane-charged by police to prevent them from marching to the deputy commissioners`s office.
The protesters were demanding more powers for elected village representatives in Jammu and Kashmir by seeking extension of 73rd and 74th amendments to the state.
The amendments grant constitutional status to elected rural local bodies and provide for direct elections to all seats in the panchayats, compulsory elections to panchayats every five years, mandatory reservation of seats for Dalits and advisasis in proportion to their share of the panchayat population and mandatory reservation of one-third of seats for women.
Despite boycott calls and threats from separatists, the majority of the people participated in the state panchayat elections in 2011. But the NC-led state government has not implemented 73rd and 74th amendments. The NC says that state laws have similar provisions, so there is no need to enforce the central laws.

Colorado officials allocated $14 million in taxpayer dollars to Planned Parenthood, directly violating legislation which prohibits the state from funding abortions.
According to the Norton v. Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood complaint filed Thursday:
"Upon information and belief, since about January 15, 2009 to the present date, the Colorado Government Defendants and other Colorado government agencies have provided approximately $14 million in public funds to Defendant Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood and thereby have, in violation of Colorado's Abortion Funding Prohibition Amendment, directly or indirectly subsidized Planned Parenthood Services' abortion operations."
Two years ago, the Colorado Department of Public Health terminated a 24-year contract with Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood after uncovering it was subsidizing rent for abortion-performing affiliate Planned Parenthood Services.
A recent look at government records through the "Transparency Online Project" revealed taxpayer dollars had continued to stream into Rocky Mountain Planned Parenthood despite the annulled contract.
"Public officials should respect the law and the democratic process rather than ignore both to fill Planned Parenthood's bank account," said Senior Counsel Michael J. Norton.
Colorado voters twice supported a state constitutional amendment forbidding public abortion funding, once in 1984 and again in 1986. According to Article V. Sect. 50:
"No public funds shall be used by the State of Colorado, its agencies or political subdivisions to pay or otherwise reimburse, either directly or indirectly, any person, agency or facility for the performance of any induced abortion...."
Jane Norton, a former executive director of the Colorado health department, is being represented by Alliance Defending Freedom in the case.

Smoking Baby Makes People Very Angry; He Smokes Anyway
Behold, the smoking baby, Ardi Rizal, a two-year-old Sumatran boy who may go through 40 cigarettes a day if he's feeling particularly stressed. You know the story, dad gives him his first one at 18 months, next thing you know he's hooked and weighs 50 pounds. According to his mom, Diana, "He's totally addicted. If he doesn't get cigarettes, he gets angry and screams and batters his head against the wall. He tells me he feels dizzy and sick."
This is rather a message for our times, no? (Video after the jump.)
