Staniel Cay climate is always perfect
On land or in the water, the Staniel Cay climate is always perfect. No more than five degrees ever separates the Staniel Cay air temperature from the Staniel Cay temperature of the ocean, creating a perfect climate for every activity.
Staniel Cay climate - any danger?
For Staniel Cay climate there is always a danger of a hurricane bearing down on the Island. The hurricane tracks are far of Staniel Cay but winds can take them anywhere.
Although Staniel Cay is better adapted to dealing with hurricanes because its people have become used to them and are more aware of their impact. And there are places of substantial elevation.
As part of risk assessment, a computer programme has been devised to "fast forward" time and look at the likelihood of hurricanes of various strengths following historical tracks across the globe.
So tourism is full protected and you can safetly plan your trip.
Staniel Cay climate - a reason to plan your trip now
The weather in The Bahamas is an added treat for travelers. Although the chain is made up of over 700 low-lying islands stretching from just east of Florida down into the Caribbean, most of the islands have very similar climates. The Bahamas' temperatures are moderated by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream. And because The Bahamas are closer to continental North America - and thus more easily effected by North American cold air systems - they are slightly cooler than other Caribbean islands. Average temperatures in the Bahamas range from 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (27 to 32 degrees Celsius) in the summer to 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit (21 to 27 degrees Celsius) in the winter. The northern Bahamian islands can be even a little cooler. Winds across The Bahamas keep vacations cool in the daytime and help lower the temperatures at night. Although The Bahamas is located in the hurricane belt that lies across most of the Caribbean, many storms bypass the island chain and instead circle below it before heading north toward the United States. Of course, the islands are equipped to respond to a storm if one does hit. Modern technology offers some reassurance to travelers who want to visit the Caribbean during the hurricane season, which lasts from June to November. Because hurricanes can be tracked from the time they form, travelers should have no problem preparing and canceling travel plans if necessary. The table below contains selected climatological data for The Bahamas as reported at Nassau International Airport. While some islands are dryer than others, the climate throughout The Bahamas is fairly uniform.

Rescued by a stranger.
Haunted by a secret
Sometimes, love isn't easy…
He watched her, but never knew her. Until thanks to a chance encounter, he became her savior…
The attraction between them was undeniable. Yet the past he'd worked so hard to overcome, and the future she'd put so much faith in, threatened to tear them apart.
Only together could they fight the pain and guilt, face the truth—and find the unexpected power of love.
A groundbreaking novel in the New Adult genre, Easy faces one girl's struggle to regain the trust she's lost, find the inner strength to fight back against an attacker, and accept the peace she finds in the arms of a secretive boy.
Some books are way more than just a read. Some books are an experience just from what they make you feel while reading. This was like this for me.
Easy is a strong novel about strong people. Really strong people, as I felt like I couldn't shoulder half of what Jacqueline and Lucas did. Jacqueline is a girl with a well planned future: she will be side by side with Kennedy, her boyfriend of three years, and will follow him into the dark if necessary. But when they got into Kennedy's choice of college things changed really fast.
Entering a fraternity, Kennedy dumps Jacqueline to bed other girls, and lets the girl who loves him feeling depressed for two long weeks, after which she decides to come back to life. But her experience in life without Kennedy is terrifying, as she suffers an rape attempt from someone she never thought could hurt her.
Rescued by Lucas, a cute boy who turns to be her white knight, she now needs to fight back to gain control of her life and fears once again as she also tries to pass a class that she is failing miserably, counting with the help of another cute boy, who she meets through emails.
It seems to be a cup full of drama, but Easy is a lot more than that (also, it's not easy at all). This book braves through complicated feelings, through pain, through obstacles and setbacks, and through emotions we don't read about often enough. And does it with a brilliant narrative, that makes you tear up in the right places and let you feeling the characters' pain as if it is your own. It goes through difficult subjects without fear, and this is what I think writing is really about. Never fear the words.
It's a book that made me think, talk about endlessly with all my friends and tear up again while doing it. The characters―not only the main ones—are believable and their life histories are touching. It's all about the feelings, which seems fitting, as to feel is the most easy part of this book.
If you didn't read it yet, don't keep waiting. Go buy Easy right now and get in the line that is crazy waiting for Lucas' history, Breakable.

Reviews of Linyanti Bush Camp
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Linyanti Bush Camp review
Saw pretty much everything we had hoped for, with some particularly memorable lion and wild dog experiences. Excellent location.
Guide Foster excellent, with good sense of humour! Other staff friendly and helpful.
Comfortable accomodation but felt site lacked management "eye" - e.g. towels not replaced at pool; decision making a bit casual. However, new managers have been appointed.
We had a great view, but despite description, not all tents do.
Linyanti Bush Camp Review
The camp is in a wonderful position overlooking Linyanti Marsh and the tents were luxurious, including a bath with gold fittings outside the tent (but we did stick to the showers inside!).
The transfer from the airstrip to the camp was like a game drive with sightings of elephant, giraffe, wart hog, kudu, impala, fish eagle and harrier hawk. First day then included kudu grazing very close to the tent and baboons playing in the tree above us (and giving us an early wake-up call!). As we had come to expect from previous lodges, we were given a very friendly welcome by Oliver and the staff and the food was exceptionally good.
Our guide, Wina was in every way superb. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable, we got to know him very well during our 3 days there and were sad to say goodbye. Countless highlights: several close sightings of lion, including a large pride with cubs feeding from an elephant carcass - day and night time; coming across a female leopard that had just killed an impala and watched as it dragged the carcass across a stream to feed her young in the reeds(?); magical boat trip that ended listening to the sounds of the african evening (including the tinkling of bell frogs) with a beautiful sunset on 1 side and full moon reflected in the water on the other; drink stop under a tree usually used by elephants who came to check us out; good sightings of wild dog, roan antelope, banded, dwarf and slender mongoose, hoopoe etc etc. Unforgetable!
Linyanti Bush Camp
Ollie and Kirsten (or was it Kristen? Never was quite sure of her name) had only been here for a few months and lacked the ease we experienced at the other camps although they were quite welcoming. I'm sure that will come with time.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and our guide Esse did a great job finding the animals we were most interested in and told us a lot about their habits and behavior.
One thing I'd like to note, the use of electric lights in the main area attracted quite a few bugs during our first dinner. A generator problem caused our second dinner to be by lantern and candle light and that was much less buggy and more enjoyable.
Linyanti Bush Camp and Linyanti Ebony review
Another excellent guide. On the way back to the lodge, having picked me up from the airstrip, he took me to see 2 male lions. Guests already at the camp said there was not much to see in the area besides elephants. They had previously stayed at Kwai camp and I gathered had seen literally everything in their 3 day stay. I disagreed with their assessment of the reserve. There was plenty of different birds around the lodge and although the mammal wildlife was dominated by elephants and lions it was the only reserve where I saw a Roan and a Sable antelope. It was also the reserve where I was bitten the most by insects. Evening meals were in fact extremely uncomfortable. Candles were placed on the table and by the end of the meal the table cloth was completely covered in insects - not a pleasant experience.Read more about the whole safari
In touch with nature at Linyanti Bush Camp
This was our fourth camp, so, by now we were needing a bit of exercise - rather than sitting in vehicles all day. The Guides arranged two walks for us (with armed guard) and this was a great experience. We saw elephant up close and were able to distinguish different animals by their droppings.
The Linyanti river has now provided a lush riverside with loads of hippo and elephant strolling around at night. Our guide (Esse) was the most knowledgeable we learned a lot from him.
Linyanti Bush Camp review
A great introduction to a safari camp holiday!
The manager and guide were both excellent. In fact all the staff were very friendly, warm and helpful. It was as if we had joined an extended family. We enjoyed the informal atmosphere.
Knowing that Bob did not eat cheese, separate dishes were prepared for him.
We enjoyed there being just a few guests in camp.
Linyanti Bush Camp should not be missed
Our overall experience at Linyanti Bush Camp was outstanding. We were very impressed by the approach of the Camp to working with and supporting the local villages.
As a Bush Camp it gave us a taste of living close to the Bush in a tent, but with very good facilites therein. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. Isaiah and Bulter were our guides and we couldn't fault them for their attention to us. Being on the edge of the Linyanti marshes we had outstanding game viewings but at the same time saw the life on the water.
We would commend them on their new water based activities, both the mokoros and the boat, as enhancing the experience. The food was good, varied and plentiful. Isaac, the Manager, was helpful and friendly.
While we were there the wild dogs made an impala killing right in front of us, while we were having breakfast. An unforgettable experience.
Linyanti Bush Camp review
Fantastic room and great location.
The guiding was a little less experienced that in other camps that we visited, but Gally and Butler were very nice people.
Linyanti Bush Camp review
More basic accomodation but the best game of all the lodges we stayed at. Be prepared for lots of bugs!Read more about the whole safari
Linyanti Bush Camp review
The camp was made even more remote by virtue of the fact that the normal airstrip was being repaired, necessitating a three hour drive - effectively an extended game drive - to it when we arrived. This was not ideal following an overnight flight from UK and transfer to Maun, but was not a serious inconvenience.
The camp itself was excellent and the staff particularly welcoming. Isaac was as good a guide as we have been fortunate enough to encounter in many safari holidays. A game walk was memorable for getting fairly close to a large herd of buffalo making its way to the river, followed by a close encounter with a bull elephant. Isaac handled a potentiallly hazardous situation with considerable skill.
The only serious problem with the camp was the plague of insects after dark, which was quite an issue over dinner.
Expert Africa comments
Often after the first rainfall of the season in Botswana (usually around the second week in November), insects rise from where they waited out the dry season in great numbers. This is especially true of flying ants (termites) as they leave their colony in search of mates. Insects are attracted to light and can become quite a nuisance over an open dinner table whilst on safari. On the plus side, this bounty of insects attracts a variety of colourful birds and you can watch their fascinating aerial aerobatics as they catch insects mid flight.

PraxisThe Praxis initiative has been designed and driven by Plan II students whose goal is the development of a multifaceted, model program for civic engagement and service at Plan II. The Praxis curriculum aims to give students the tools and resources necessary to explore social problems—from education and health care to urban planning and transportation. Through the program, the Praxis student will have the opportunity to examine a social issue in depth, with the hope that he or she will someday engineer social change by turning today's problems into tomorrow's solutions.
Praxis is divided into four components: exposure, immersion, exploration, and synthesis. In their first year, students are exposed to a variety of current social problems and issues through a course entitled "Civic Viewpoints." The goal here is to inspire them to think seriously about civic entrepreneurship in their respective areas of interest. The immersion component usually takes place in the second year and is designed to give students practical experience through some form of community service or an internship. Currently the Plan II/KIPP Partnership Program and the Health & Social Policy Internship Program serve as the immersion pieces, the first through mentoring students in a college-prep, charter school and the second through interning in the state legislature. Both are accompanied by service learning courses. In their third year, students engage in academic exploration of a subject through a Plan II junior seminar that allows them to delve into the systemic causes of the problems they have encountered through rigorous and systematic research. In the fourth and final year, the Plan II Thesis provides the opportunity for students to synthesize knowledge and experience by writing a thesis that prescribes a solution to a social problem they have defined.
The Praxis Initiative is a work in progress. The Praxis Committee and the Plan II Honors Program are continuously working on the development of Praxis through additional course offerings and immersion opportunities.

Freelance writers are plunking down annual membership fees to join a spectrum of writers' and authors' associations. But is it worth it?
To find out, the Freelance Strategist spoke with members of the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA), Association of Independents in Radio (AIR), National Book Critics Circle (NBCC), and New York Financial Writers Association (NYFWA).
Moral Support
As a newcomer to the freelance game, New York-based freelance writer and multimedia producer Aurora Almendral joined AIR for its pitching insights.
However, thanks to AIR's email blast, which hooks members up with gigs, tips, and each others' latest stories, she says she's found much more: "You wake up every morning, see that, and feel like you're a part of a community."
Similarly, Caitlin Kelly, veteran freelance journalist, author, and longtime ASJA member notes that "writing is very isolating. You tend to be alone all day long." However, ASJA offers password-protected, confidential online forums on which members can post everything from writing tips to writing gripes.
"If you say, 'I've had a terrible time with X magazine, you get feedback like, 'Oh my God, yes!' Then you have what you need, which is a reality check." Kelly said. "There's an extraordinary camaraderie."
Writers' organizations can make otherwise alienated freelance writers feel a bit more connected, even if it's just online.
Valuable Connections
Members raved most about the connections they've made. Arlington-based freelance writer and ASJA member Merlisa Lawrence Corbett met with editors and literary agents at ASJA's Annual Conference during their members only session.
"You sit down with literary agents to pitch your book," she said. "It was really valuable to get feedback and face time with these agents and editors."
Thanks to their guidance, Corbett is now finishing the memoir that she workshopped at the conference.
Sheila Mullan, a reporter for Market News International and longtime member of NYFWA, says that she's met sources as well as like-minded peers who give her insights into other sides of the industry. "I've made contacts at banks, I've made contacts with publicity people, I've met people at all kinds of different wire services, TV networks, magazines," she said.
But what about tangible results?
Mullan says, "I do freelance work for the [New York] Post Sunday business section. I don't think I would have landed that connection without going through this group." Similarly, an ASJA connection helped Kelly land a personal finance column, which scored her $5,000.
The only caveat? Kelly advises that writers must give to an association just as much as they get; the selfish need not apply. "Volunteer immediately," she says. "The minute you put your hand up, people know, 'This person really has energy and time,' and when you need help, they'll vouch for you."
For a freelance writer who can truly contribute to the community, an association may be worth the effort.
"Sometimes you can make a connection that can save you years and years of building up your network," Mullan said.
Long-Term Career Growth
"My feeling is, there's nothing more important than keeping the literary world going," says Susan Shapiro, author, New School journalism professor, and NBCC member. In a landscape where print publishing dwindles, one way a freelancer can secure long-term career growth is to support the media ecosystem.
As a NBCC member, Shapiro helped authors' careers by reviewing their books. As a board member, she and others endowed outstanding authors with prestigious NBCC awards. And now as a veteran member, she hosts panels, many of them free, that support new writers and authors.
Shapiro has hosted panels at the Brooklyn Book Festival, including one on how to break into book reviews and features. "I've had the best agents and editors come and speak," she said, adding she recently did one with Ian Frazier of The New Yorker.
So whether a freelancer is a beginner looking for guidance or a veteran climbing further up the ladder, writers' and authors' associations can offer the moral support, professional connections, and long-term growth to bolster her career.
Kelly says, "You're not going to get that off of LinkedIn."

'Miranda' Dealt One-Two Punch by High Court
Professor Jeffrey Fisher, an expert in criminal procedure, is quoted on the Supreme Court's ruling on repeat questioning of suspects without a lawyer. Tony Mauro of Law.com reports:
It has not been a good week for the famed Miranda warning at the hands of the Supreme Court.
In decisions issued on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Court ruled that confessions should be admitted at trial even when police interviewed suspects in circumstances that lower courts viewed as Miranda violations.
The Court on Wednesday issued (pdf), establishing new, more permissive rules for police who want to question a suspect for a second time after the suspect invokes Miranda's right to remain silent.
Stanford Law School professor Jeffrey Fisher said the rulings continue the Court's trend of "extreme hostility toward constitutional rules that require the exclusion of evidence -- especially confessions and the product of illegal searches -- from criminal trials." Fisher, who heads a National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers committee that files amicus briefs at the high court, said, "In short, this Court sees the costs and benefits of rules designed to curb police overreaching entirely differently than the Court did a generation ago. "

And now a bit about me :)
I was born in 1989. In the age of 5 I was taught chess basics by my father - he used to be an experienced player. The "real chess" began, when I turned 8 - I started working with Pavel Savitskiy, who became not only my chess coach, but also my guru with a vengeance. Thanks to him, I achieved a lot in chess and (what is more importantly) in a real life.
In the age of 9, for the first time of my life, I took part in the Ukrainian Championship - among men, not youth :) At that tournament, I even managed to defeat the National Master. It was my first master's "scalp".
In the age of 13 I won the second prize in the Ukrainian Youth Championship (under 14) and represented my country in the European Youth Championship in Budva, where I managed to enter the "best 10" in rapid and blitz. That was my last youth competition - after that I began playing only in the "adults" national and international tournaments.
In 2005, I became the FIDE Master.
In 2006, I won the Donetsk Championship and became the National Master.
Finally, in 2007 I did everything - norms and rating - to accomplish the title of International Master.
You can see my FIDE profile here.

Fashion is undergoing another youth revolution and wrinklies over the age of 25 should look carefully before they leap into catsuits, hots pants or any other bottom-hugging styles.
But anyone young enough to wear it, either then or now, doesn't even listen.
Sixties fashion - the wet-look, micro-minis and psychedelic prints - was always for the young, and if the young at heart think they can wear it, they're only fooling themselves.
There is a subtle difference between THEN and NOW in this incarnation - the lines are cleaner and stronger than the original.
Finally, a pair of knee-high boots or flat Chanel shoes finishes off any outfit.
As for hair accessorises, the beehive is fading but the ubiquitous headband has got a tenacious hold on our heads, if not lives.
Can you believe it, vinyl is again a sought-after commodity! The slick, wet look is shining through, in skirts, accessories and jackets.
Basic black is, well, the basis of any self-respecting girl's wardrobe. But jazz it up with vibrant leggings or spandex zentai in Pucci psychedelia.
Looking for a splash of color? Then the only alternative you should consider is red. No variations on a theme. Just pure, lustful red.
Other icons of the era to be transported to the last decade of the century are hot pants (for the uninitiated these are winter shorts) bodysuits, and of course, the shortest of short skirts.
The classic houndstooth, check and tweed prints are back but this time are exaggerated for a greater effect.

New varieties for NSW deliver higher yields, lower disease risk and greater profits
30 Oct, 2012
Higher yields, less risk of severe yield loss from diseases such as crown rot, the three rusts, and the pest root lesion nematode, are the main reasons North West NSW farmers Bill and son Andrew Yates are growing or intend to grow some new recently released wheat varieties.
However Bill and Andrew Yates, of "Delvin" Garah, stress that improved varieties is just one part of maximising their cropping profit.
Well planned rotations involving pulses, canola, and grain sorghum, which aim to reduce risk from diseases like crown rot and pests like root lesion nematode, are equally important to the Yates. Important also is high standard fallow efficiency and zero till stubble retention whenever it can be achieved.
Sowing early within a given variety's optimum sowing window is also regarded by them as important. Frost is always a risk but they believe yield loss from late sowing is a greater threat.
Sunguard and Livingston, relatively new AGT wheat varieties, are currently making a big impression on the Yates farming program. They also plan to assess and likely incorporate the new APH variety Suntop and the first northern release of a high performing "two-gene" imidazolinone (Clearfield system) tolerant variety Elmore CL Plus.
Root lesion nematode Pratylenchus thornei (Pt)
Bill and Andrew Yates are especially mindful of protecting their wheat crops, as far as possible, from the often devastating root lesion nematode Pratylenchus thornei (Pt).
An extensive NSW DPI study that surveyed 248 random cropping paddocks across central and northern NSW, from Wellington to the Qld border, found that Pt was present in 70 percent of paddocks. Most significantly paddocks in areas like Moree and Narrabri almost always contained Pt, and mainly at yield damaging levels (above 5000 per kg). Other surveys have also found widespread Pt infestation at damaging levels across the Qld wheat belt.
Research by groups such as NSW DPI, Qld DAAF, and the GRDC funded group, Northern Grower Alliance (NGA), has shown that Pt can often reduce yield of bread wheat by over 50 percent and chickpeas by 20-30 percent. Measures to reduce the impact of Pt on these crops are a high priority for both farmers and researchers.
Bill and Andrew Yates "Delvin" Garah checking their Sunguard wheat that yielded above 4 t/ha despite a dry late winter spring. In North West NSW and Qld root lesion nematodes (Pt) are a common and yield devastating problem. Sunguard has tolerance equal to the best available in Australia bread wheats.
In a NSW DPI trial at Mungindi, where Pt levels were typically high (15,000/kg soil) a tolerant to moderately tolerant (T-MT) durum variety yielded 3.0 t/ha. In contrast an intolerant to very intolerant (I-VI) bread wheat variety yielded 1.0 t/ha, an estimated loss, because of Pt, of 2.0 t/ha.
Bill and Andrew Yates rate choosing varieties on their level of tolerance and resistance to Pt as one of their highest priorities. The wheat varieties Sunguard and Suntop rate highly among Australian wheats for Pt tolerance.
It should be noted that there is a second root lesion nematode species, P neglectus (Pn), that is common in many wheat growing areas, especially central and southern NSW, but also sometimes in northern NSW and Qld. It also is capable of causing significant yield loss. Bill Yates stressed the importance of knowing which nematode species is on individual farms and the level of infestation present. This could be achieved by appropriate soil testing. Different crops and different varieties within crops differ in the level of resistance and/or tolerance to each of the nematode species. In the Yates's case Pt is their only nematode problem.
Crown rot
Crown rot has for decades been regarded as the main disease threat to wheat production in central and northern NSW and Qld. However recent research by NSW DPI, NGA and DAAF, suggests that Pt is likely to cause overall more yield loss than crown rot.
That is not to underestimate the importance of crown rot but to put it into perspective. Researchers, like NGA CEO Richard Daniel, stress that growers should first assess paddocks for disease and pest risk, second, if Pt is likely to be an issue, choose varieties with the best Pt tolerance, and thirdly assess varieties for crown rot tolerance.
Currently the best way to minimise the impact of crown rot is to use appropriate rotations. Wheat varieties with the best levels of crown rot tolerance will still suffer major yield loss if the disease is not managed to moderate levels through rotations.
In contrast if Pt is likely to be the major issue (often crown rot and Pt are present together in potentially damaging levels), appropriate variety selection can offer far greater levels of protection.
Stem, leaf and stripe rust are all important diseases to the Yates and where possible they choose varieties with at least adequate resistance ratings to all three. Bill Yates especially reminds younger growers that wheat growing in northern NSW and Qld was always a very risky business until plant breeders developed, initially stem rust resistant, and then leaf rust resistant varieties.
Stripe rust, a later arrival in Australia, has also challenged plant breeders but fortunately more varieties are now being released with durable stripe rust resistance.
One can aim to guard against rusts with fungicides but especially for stem and leaf rust this can prove costly as well as difficult, involving multiple treatments and exact timing. As Bill Yates stresses, "it is best to strengthen ones ability to deter these diseases by using resistant varieties wherever possible".
Yield, quality and agronomic type
Andrew and Bill Yates place high credibility on GRDC funded NVT variety trials for assessing yield ability, especially when choosing new varieties. When new varieties like Livingston, Sunguard and Suntop are released with several years of NVT assessment, any claims of yield improvement can be rigorously assessed.
While the Yates generally aim to use APH quality varieties they are happy to plant a good portion of their crop to AH quality varieties if the varieties available meet high yield, good agronomic type, and good disease and nematode resistance standards.
Their nitrogen management is also in tune with an ever increasing need to match higher yield ability with relative soil nitrogen availability to maintain high grain protein.
Because of the inherent variability of time of sowing opportunities in the north, Andrew Yates strongly favours sowing at the early end of a varieties optimum sowing window to maximise yield potential. Bill Yates is involved as an "Australian Climate Champion" and believes as average temperatures rise the window for growing a cool season crop shortens. He believes shorter maturing crops and varieties will increasingly be required and the penalty for late sowing will become more severe. This year, for example, Mungindi recorded the first 30C day on the 23rd of August.
The Yates choose a range of maturity types in their variety selection in order to help manage risk. For the Yates, varieties with sound agronomics need to also include a multitude of features such as seedling vigour, straw strength, ability to hold grain, and harvestability.
Future variety requirements
Andrew Yates lists improved variety tolerance to yellow leaf spot (YLS) as one of their biggest needs.
Currently a few varieties have good YLS tolerance but these varieties mostly have other problems such as Pt susceptibility and/or intolerance, low yield and susceptibility to some or all of the three rusts.
Many of today's varieties do have improved tolerance to YLS compared to the mostly very susceptible (VS) ones that predominated in the last major YLS years of the late 1980s.
Wet weather at harvest is also a common concern to growers like the Yates. Varieties with significantly higher levels of pre-harvest sprouting tolerance than even Ellison and Sunelg are in the current wheat breeding pipelines.
Greater wheat coleoptile length is another attribute sought by the Yates to improve their ability to establish their crops on time. This is also now an important wheat breeding priority.
Clearfield Wheat Varieties to assist in managing difficult weeds
The Yates will be trialling Elmore CL Plus which is the first high performing "two-gene" imidazolinone (Clearfield system) tolerant variety suitable for central NSW, northern NSW, and Qld wheat growers. "Two-gene" varieties have improved crop safety to imidazolinone herbicides, such as Intervix. This improved level of tolerance is also important in managing carryover of some herbicides that may not have sufficiently broken down in the previous crop or fallow.
Properly rotated with other weed control choices (including herbicides from other chemical groups as well as various agronomic practices) the Clearfield option can provide new cost effective ways to control a number of difficult to control weeds.
Elmore CL Plus is an early to mid maturing variety similar in plant type to Janz. In NSW and Qld NVTs it has been very competitive for yield and offers solid levels of resistance to the three rusts.
Elmore CL Plus has an AH quality classification in NSW and Qld.

The Indonesian government has proposed a Rp 21 trillion ($2.2 billion) increase in education spending over the next year, making the sector the top recipient of state budgetary money for 2013.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said in his annual budget address on Thursday evening that the government has proposed spending a total of Rp 331.8 trillion ($34.9 billion) on education in its 2013 state budget, an increase of 6.7 percent from the Rp 310.8 trillion allocated in 2012.
Yudhoyono said the budget would be used to continue the School Operational Aid (BOS) program for elementary and junior high school students, build 216 new schools while renovating hundreds of old ones, as well as support the Scholarship for the Poor, which is aimed at 14.3 million indigent students across the country.
"We will also launch the Universal Secondary Education program (PMU) through school operational aids for 9.6 million high school students," Yudhoyono said. "We must make the most of the growing education budget to improve the quality of education and expand the outreach of it," he added.
Of the Rp 331.8 trillion proposed, however, only Rp 66 trillion will go towards the Education and Culture Ministry, with most of the money set to go directly to other districts through programs such as BOS and PMU.
The ministry will remain one of the top seven recipients of state money, along with the Defense Ministry, which will receive Rp 77.7 trillion in 2013, the Public Works Ministry with Rp 69 trillion, the Religious Affairs Ministry with Rp 41.7 trillion, the Transportation Ministry with Rp 31.4 trillion and the Health Ministry with over Rp 31 trillion.
In total, the government has proposed a total of almost Rp 1,658 trillion in state spending next year, an increase of 7.1 percent from 2012.
The government has also targeted almost Rp 1,508 trillion in state revenues, nearly 80 percent of which is expected to come from taxes.

In addition, one-quarter of the party has an unfavorable view of Gingrich. That's tied for the highest disapproval rating among all the candidates, along with Johnson. Analysts have questioned whether the former congressman from Georgia's campaign would survive the flurry of negative press in the wake of his Ryan criticism - his bid, even from a former speaker of the House with deep ties to many influential party leaders, was seen as quixotic from the start. But as Gingrich falls, Herman Cain rises. The former CEO of Godfather's Pizza has seen his name identification nearly double in the last month: from 21 percent to 37 percent. He's likely gained traction in part after a sterling performance at the first GOP presidential debate in early May, an effort that won him the debate according to some pundits. He's also popular among the Republicans who know him: 27 percent hold a strongly favorable view, compared to just three percent who view him very unfavorably. The positive intensity score of 24 points is the highest in the GOP field. Also gaining in name ID is former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty. He's been seen as one of the race's front-runners despite his relatively low name recognition, but Gallup reports half the party now knows who he is. That's a 10-point jump from last month. The poll of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia was conducted as part of Gallup Daily tracking from May 16-29, 2011. Questions asking about the 10 potential candidates were rotated among randomly selected samples of Republicans each night and over the two-week period, each candidate was rated by a minimum of 1,500 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. The survey carries a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points for the overall ratings of each potential candidate and for the Positive Intensity Score for each candidate, the maximum margin of sampling error varies depending on the size of the group recognizing the candidate.

When school ends for the summer, so do the meals that many low-income children rely on daily. This week through social media engagement, Catholic Charities USA helped raise awareness around the uncertainty millions of youth and their families face concerning where their next meal will come from when the summer months are upon us.
Our local Catholic Charities agencies fill this void with vital summer food programs to ensure children in their communities have access to healthy, nutritious and reliable meals that they would otherwise go without during this time. While the work of our Catholic Charities network is deeply impactful, meeting this vast need cannot be done alone. Efforts like No Kid Hungry and their national campaign to end summer hunger for children are essential to raising awareness of summer meal sites across the nation.
We pray that this summer we are able to increase awareness of this important need and that those families in need during these months are able to find available meal assistance locally through maps and tools like those provided by No Kid Hungry, and directly from Catholic Charities agencies in their community.
Tweet: Make sure that children in your community cont. to have access to healthy meal options this summer: http://bit.ly/1ckhU4h

The world is in a hurry no one ever wants to wait, no discussions pushin buttons too much
piled upon one plate. The who what where when why and how, are all related to the fear
that's here and now. It does'nt take very long to see the changes going on, there's a reason
for each season from the time that we are born. Life seems to get recycled the rotation
goes around, best believe you will receive from the king who wears the crown.

What would it mean if an economy had real GDP increasing faster than nominal GDP?
1 Answer | Add Yours
What this would mean is that the economy was experiencing deflation.
Deflation is when the price level for the economy as a whole drops. If the price level is dropping, a small increase in production in the economy as a whole could still result in a decline in nominal GDP because the decline in price would offset the increase in production.
In such a case, real GDP would rise because production was rising but nominal GDP would drop because the price (in current dollars) of the goods and products made would be lower due to the deflation.

Aaron Elliott (born May 20, 1968), better known as Aaron Cometbus, is an American drummer, lyricist, self-described "punk anthropologist," novelist, and author of punk zine Cometbus.[1]
Personal life[edit]
Born in Berkeley, California, Cometbus started writing fanzines in 1981 with Jesse Michaels (later of Operation Ivy and Common Rider) and started his own after Michaels moved to Pennsylvania in October 1981. Cometbus became an active participant in the Gilman Street Project and was a founding member of Crimpshrine, a highly influential East Bay punk rock band which also featured Jeff Ott.[2] After the demise of Crimpshrine, Cometbus formed Pinhead Gunpowder with a handful of people from the East Bay punk scene, including Sarah Kirsch, Jason White and Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day.[3] He also toured as a roadie with Green Day a few times and played drums for a few shows after the departure of John Kiffmeyer and before Tre Cool joined. He has played in a multitude of short-lived bands that generally release just a seven-inch or two before breaking up (see Band history).
He is a co-owner of the used bookstore in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Book Thug Nation.[4]
Cometbus zine[edit]
Cometbus is most famous for publishing the zine Cometbus, which he began in Berkeley, California in 1981.[citation needed] Cometbus has self-published the usually-handwritten zine ever since, despite a few breaks. The name Cometbus was coined by Gregg Turkington during the early days of the magazine when the name changed from issue to issue. Cometbus consisted of band interviews, personal diaries, artwork, and observations on the punk subculture in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. The zine captured a slice of life in Oakland and Berkeley, California from the late 1980s through the 1990s. This includes squatting, collective living, falling in love and other perils of the punk rock lifestyle. Cometbus's writing is characterized by stories of loneliness and alienation, tempered with episodes of brightness and perennial hope in the ability of humans to connect to one another.
Cometbus has a very identifiable aesthetic: the author almost always uses black and white, and uses his photocopier as a tool for distorting and manipulating images and text. His handwritten print, in which almost all of the zine's issues are written, is very identifiable and is often closely associated with the zine. This aesthetic follows Cometbus to his bands, where he often does the layouts and artwork.
From 2004 to 2006, Cometbus took a hiatus from writing Cometbus to pursue publishing his writing through other channels. Cometbus came out of retirement in 2006 with the release of Cometbus #50, the 25th anniversary issue of the magazine. Originally planned as a letters only issue, it also features band interviews (for the first time since issue #24), short stories, and book store reviews.
Cometbus #51, The Loneliness of the Electric Menorah, was released in September 2008. It chronicles the history of Moe's Books and other longtime businesses on Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California.
Cometbus #52, The Spirit of St-Louis, Or, How to Break Your Own Heart, A Tragedy in 24 Parts, was released in 2009. Cometbus says in his blurb: "It all starts with the story I've told so many times it's turned stale and tired from overuse. There I was, dropped off in a city far from home. I didn't know a soul or have a hope, and so on..." Both issue #52 of Cometbus and the novel I Wish There Was Something That I Could Quit are rumored to be about his stay and relationships in Pensacola, Florida.
Cometbus #53 features contributions from Maddalena Poletta and a cover by Eisner Award winner Nate Powell. Released in 2009, it features a lengthy piece on art, comics, and the early days of punk in NYC in the mid-1970s that is largely derived from an in-depth interview Cometbus conducted with John Holstrom, the co-founder of the legendary Punk Magazine.[5]
Cometbus #54, In China with Green Day, released in February 2011, is about Cometbus' and Green Day's tour of Asia in 2010. Oddly enough, considering the title, they do not make it to mainland China at any point.
Cometbus #55, Pen Pals, was released in February 2013.
Cometbus #56, A Bestiary of Booksellers details the NYC used book trade.
The extremely limited print runs of the zine have been somewhat ameliorated over the years by a number of collections.
Despite Everything: A Cometbus Omnibus (Last Gasp Publishing 2002, ISBN 0-86719-561-4) a 608-page compendium of selections from 43 early Cometbus issues which are long out of print and often difficult to find.
Double Duce (Last Gasp Publishing 2003, ISBN 0-86719-586-X) a novel based on life in a punk house called Double Duce that collects material from issues 32, 35, 37, 38, 41, 42, 43, and 45.
Add Toner (Last Gasp Publishing 2011, ISBN 978-0-86719-753-2) compiles issues 44, 45, 46, 46 1/2, 47 & 48 in full, along with a collection of stories entitled "8 out of 10 days" .[6]
Other writing[edit]
In addition to writing for his own zine, Cometbus has contributed stories to several other zines such as Absolutely Zippo, Maximumrocknroll, and Tales of Blarg, occasionally writing under the pseudonym Skrub. His work is easily recognizable by his distinctive, block-lettered handwritten script. His handwriting also appears in the liner notes of early Green Day albums and Jawbreaker's Etc. compilation.
A novel titled I Wish There Was Something That I Could Quit, was published on March 15, 2006. This novel was loosely based on his experiences in Pensacola, Florida during the start of the Iraq War and is arguably his most political work.
He has also released a few smaller collections of short stories, Mixed Reviews and Chicago Stories (self published, 2004), a small collection about Chicago originally published in "Cometbus" issues 35, 37, 38, 41, and 45.
Two collections have been translated into French, including En dépit de tout (1997). A French version of Cometbus issue 54, titled "En Chine avec Green Day", has also been published by Editions Chat Chuffit in 2013. Double Duce has been translated into German and was published by Lautsprecherverlag as "Doppelzwei" in 2004.

Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks" Pulled From Radio After School Shooting
Add another one to the list. Yesterday, TMZ revealed that Ke$ha's "Die Young" was being pulled from airwaves at some stations — in the wake of Friday's school shooting in Newtown, CT — and now TMZ says Foster the People's song "Pumped Up Kicks" won't be played at all on L.A.'s hit pop music station, KIIS-FM.
The mellow, almost cheerful-sounding summer jam is about a youth who engages in Columbine-like violence. The chorus is "All the other kids with the pumped up kicks/You better run, better run, outrun my gun./All the other kids with the pumped up kicks/You better run, better run, faster than my bullet."
Frontman Mark Foster told the Washington Post, "The song came from a place in my heart. I was thinking about, 'Why are kids doing this, why is this an epidemic in our country? Kids are getting younger and younger and bringing a gun to malls or schools or parks and killing people. What is going on in a kid's head that goes through something like that?' So I wound up going inside a kid's head and telling a story....There's depth to it. If the song wasn't about anything, I don't think it'd be doing what it's done. I love those lyrics. I could write those down and read them at a poetry reading, and I'd be proud. If it was all about the sunshine, I don't think anybody would even care."
Granted, "Pumped Up Kicks" had its big debut a while ago, as opposed to Ke$ha's "Die Young," which was in heavy rotation up until last Friday. But considering what Foster is trying to say with the song, maybe this is one that should stay on airwaves?

A local teen needs your help as he prepares to undergo a more than 14 hour operation on Monday, August 26.
In May, KOB Eyewitness News 4 introduced Zak Lannon and his West Mesa High School football team, the Mustangs. Zak was diagnosed with a rare and deadly form of cancer: Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor. He's tackling cancer with community support and his own motto, "You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have."
Zak has undergone several rounds of Chemotherapy. Now, he's having surgery in New York City to remove the tumors.
The owners of House of Football in Albuquerque are running interference. They're selling Zak's T-shirts and hoping to raise money to help the Lannon Family pay for Zak's treatment.
"They're just a good All American family who need help," owner Andy Hageman said. "Take 2 minutes out of your day and put on a shirt."
You can buy the shirts at House of Football or online.
Zak's family and House of Football are asking that everyone wear the tees on Monday, August 26 to support Zak while he undergoes surgery.
For updates on Zak, visit his Facebook page.

ZZ Top are Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductees, classic rock mainstays, beloved 1980s music video stars and one of the more misunderstood bands in music. Psychedelic survivors who shuffled out of Texas at the dawn of the 1970s with some of the finest and most genuine blues rock ever played they were initially pigeonholed as southern rock also-rans. Despite their roots music pedigree their influence is most keenly felt in the work of hard rockers like Motorhead, who covered them, and Queens Of The Stone Age, with whom guitarist Billy Gibbons has recorded. And while the Eliminator album, their 8th full-length overall, and its iconic music videos increased their audience exponentially, most of these new fans knew nothing about their earlier records.
One major stumbling block was that for years the only way you could properly hear the earlier material was by hunting down the original vinyl. In one of the most ill-advised re-mastering jobs of the digital era, when ZZ Top re-issued their albums on CD in 1987, they replaced the original drum trucks with the sequenced drum machines and slathered everything with tons of reverb and other "state of the art" digital effects. For fans of the original LPs and their down-home production and some of the greatest guitar tones ever put to tape, it was a musical crime. After years of fan requests and several half-measures, The Complete Studio Albums 1970-1990 box set finally presents the original recordings in the way they were meant to be heard.

Scammed onlineApril 17,2013It is embarrassing when ones identity is stolen, and it is even more embarrassing when one is so obdurate as to assist in that process. That happened to me, and I dont want to hide the circumstances.
I dont use my laptop computer for anything much except for emails. Dont go on line, Google, visit Facebook pages, that sort of thing. With that limited use I never bothered with a password.
Early last week I was working on last weeks column for the Herald when suddenly the screen went blank and the cursor was taken completely out of my control, darting aimlessly about the screen from corner to corner. A pattern came on the screen and then the phone rang. A mans voice said: The pattern you see on the screen is from your Windows agent.
He didnt ask for my name, but knew who he was talking to.
I said: I go with Comcast.
The man said: Thats your carrier. We are your Windows agent.
Im so ignorant about things I figured since my laptop uses Windows, he could be right. Then the screen began to show a moving list of incomprehensible figures and letters and the man on the phone exclaimed: Oh! Look at all the viruses that could hit your system!
I didnt say anything, and he went on: We have a new system that will offer protection from viruses for you.
He then gave me a combination of numbers and letters that he said was a service code, saying: On any day when one of us calls again, be sure to ask for this code number, and when we give it youll know its us for sure, and that were legitimate.
He also gave me a telephone number that had a New Jersey area code, and an email address that included the word windows. With all that, I was dumb enough to think he was probably authentic.
The man on the phone said: There are fees for this service. Coverage for two years is $150, for five years its $250, and for your whole long lifetime its $349. While he was speaking the figures he mentioned appeared on the screen in bulky black numbers.
I said the $349 looked best to me, and he said: Thats a very good choice and will be in place for your whole long lifetime.
This man had such an accent that sometimes I couldnt make out what he said. He said his name was James Aldrich, but he didnt sound like anyone who grew up in this country. Yet it wasnt an accent of any nationality Im familiar with. I occasionally heard the sound of someone else in the background.
Meanwhile the screen showed images of the various credit cards, and I chose one and then the screen went blank except for a horizontal line labeled credit card number.
I started writing the numbers the way I do on paper, four numbers, a hyphen, and four more numbers, and so on.
The man on the phone said: Dont use hyphens. Just the numbers. So they were following what I was writing very closely.
Then the screen gave a vertical list of months, and I chose the month of expiration. The screen then showed every year from the present to 2020, and I chose the year of expiration.
The screen then showed only the words making 53 adjustments. The man on the phone said: Dont turn off your computer until the adjustments are complete. And that was the last thing he said.
The next day I was told that its illegal to break into someones computer and take control of the cursor away from the user. I wonder if Comcast is aware that bandits of this nature are coming in on those lines.
I called the credit card company, where my line of credit was very low, and told them what had happened. The fee had already been registered, but they said theyd close that account and sent me a new card with different numbers.
I also talked to a detective at the attorney generals office in Montpelier. He was quite sympathetic, but said there was little that could be done.
My brother talked me through the creation of a password.
Whats scary about all this is how much information the bandits can acquire from the records of my credit card account. If they can work back to the main accounts of the bank whose checks I use, that would be a major catastrophe. Also, if they use those card numbers to buy something worth several thousand dollars, and the outfit that sells it to them goes to the credit card company and finds out the account is closed, will I be accused of fraud and get into all kinds of legal trouble? I dont have too many resources and could easily go totally bankrupt.
It has been somewhat cathartic to speak plainly about all this, and its also cathartic to hope that it will give a warning to others who are, like me, amateurs on the computer.

Sony HVR-Z7U
May 1, 2008 12:00 PM, By D. W. Leitner
On the road with the innovative new handheld camera.
I use a lot of different cameras and camcorders, from Sony HDW-F900s and Panasonic Varicams on down. I welcome the variety because it challenges my understanding of camera basics and builds my appreciation of the many paths that camera design can take. But there is a price to pay.
In the heat of battle, so to speak, my instinct for where certain camera functions might be found can fail: "Where's the friggin' auto/manual focus control? Where did they hide the headphone jack?" And let's not get into the origami of menu trees: "What does this cinema gamma do compared to that one?" Nor do manuals reliably provide meaningful clues. It is little wonder that many, even professionals, default to factory settings — always a safe choice, if not an artistic one.
The truth is, each sophisticated camera or camcorder is its own artistic toolshed, and there's no substitute for spending serious production time mastering its capabilities and eccentricities. You must develop a particular technique and set of instincts for each camera if you want to get the most out of them.
I was reminded of these truisms during my recent travels with Sony's new HVR-Z7U, a 3CMOS HDV handheld with interchangeable lenses that can uniquely dual-record to CompactFlash. In other words — a toolshed like no other.
From New York to Paris, rural Burgundy to rural Alabama, I put the Z7 through serious paces — and it put me through its own paces. On most shoots, I also had a Sony HVR-Z1U on hand as a backup — and sometimes even a PMW-EX1 too — so frequently, I was able to make direct comparisons.
The bottom line: The Z7 is, at first, an acquired taste — then an addictive one. Once you've learned to use it, it's nearly impossible to revert to previous HDV models.
