Better Councils make Better Communities
Enabling Queensland ratepayers to enjoy improved value for money from their councils through a state-wide productivity and efficiency strategy, without the need for more debt or rate rises.Preview...Hide...
What's it all about?
Queenslanders have said they want better value for money from their councils.
However, Queensland councils are under ever increasing financial burdens, with annual financial shortfalls that will need to be managed through better productivity and financial performance.
Savings of the magnitude required will only result if councils develop new business models, challenge traditional assumptions and find innovative ways to improve service delivery.
Better Councils, Better Communities is a council driven project designed to support councils in their efforts to achieve better productivity and financial performance outcomes. The Better Councils, Better Communities website provides a space where Queensland councils can share this work with the community.
Ratepayers have said they want to understand how Queensland councils strive to move their communities forward on a financially sustainable pathway – the Better Councils, Better Communities website aims to deliver on this request by sharing stories that deepen community understanding of:
- the magnitude of council business
- the myriad of service delivery and operations managed by councils
- the continued effort by councils to drive improvement in performance and efficiency.
Why are we doing this now?
Queensland councils currently have access to a legislative environment that can positively influence their own financial sustainability – including significant local decision-making powers.
Who will benefit?
The Better Councils, Better Communities project will enable Queensland ratepayers to enjoy improved value for money from their councils through a state-wide productivity and efficiency strategy, without the need for more debt or rate rises.

RADF Committee members assess the grant applications according to RADF guidelines and the Council's art and cultural development policy and recommend which applicants they consider should receive funding and how much. The RADF Liaison Officer presents their recommendations to Council. Council ratifies the committee decisions and the funds are distributed.
Applications for funding must be made to Council on the appropriate RADF form.

SDSU topples Bradley
The South Dakota State women's tennis team won its second consecutive meet on Saturday with a 5-2 win at Bradley.
The Jacks swept doubles for the team point, winning a tight match at No. 1 and winning at No. 2 and No. 3 in convincing fashion. SDSU sported a new team at the top spot, as Ffion Davies was absent from today's lineup.
Jenny Blackburne and Florencia Magni needed a tiebreaker at the top spot, but came out on top 7-6 (7-2) versus Adele Henke and Sarah Rodefeld. Brooke Henry and Beatriz Souza won by two breaks of service at No. 2 versus Carly Miles and Kennedy Scott, while Tiffany Filipovich and Tacy Haws-Lay won by the greatest margin versus Elizabeth Przystawski and Cassia Wojtalik at No. 3.

The President, through the Secretary of Agriculture or other appropriate agencies, is authorized to continue to make such benefit allotments and surplus commodities available to such households for so long as he determines necessary, taking into consideration such factors as he deems appropriate, including the consequences of the major disaster on the earning power of the households, to which assistance is made available under this section.

Transport Surat Thani
As it is the largest province in southern Thailand and the primary launching point for boats to Koh Samui, Surat Thani is well serviced by air, bus, and rail. There are numerous ways of getting to Surat Thani and a well organized system of transfers to get you from one mode of transportation to the next in order to get you to your ultimate destination.
Trains leave Bangkok's Hua Lumphong Railway Station 10 times daily from 12 p.m. until 10.50 p.m. The trip takes approximately 12-13 hours. Ask for the train from Bangkok to Phun Phin, the closest station to Surat Thani City, located 13km away. A bus service between the station and the town is available as are tuk tuks and songtaews that service the ferry piers. For further details, please call 1690, 0 2223 7010, 0 2223 7020 or visit www.railway.co.th
Surat Thani can be most conveniently reached by car from Bangkok by taking Highway No. 4 through Petchaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan Provinces to Chumphon Province and then taking Highway No. 41 and Highway No. 401 directly to Surat Thani City.
Air-conditioned busses depart from Bangkok's Southern Bus Terminal to Surat Thani Province everyday. For more information call the southern Bus Terminal tel: 0 2434 5557-8 or visit www.transport.co.th
From Surat Thani there are three bus stations from which busses depart: Talaat Kaset 1 has bus service for travel within Surat Thani province; Talaat Kaset 2: has busses and minivans for destinations farther away, including Krabi, Phuket, and Hat Yai; and the New Station is for air-conditioned buses to Bangkok.
Thai Airways and Thai AirAsia have daily flights connecting Bangkok and Surat Thani. The flight time is approximately 70 minutes. Many consider the budget flight on AirAsia to Surat Thani a money saving alternative to more expensive flights directly to Koh Samui, though visitors should be aware that with transfers from Surat Thani airport to the pier and the boat ride to Koh Samui, the entire journey can take upwards of a full day.
Motorbike Taxi:
The most convenient (and most dangerous) way to get around Surat Thani is via motorcycle taxi. Agree on the fare before your ride, and if possible, wear a helmet.
Riding aboard one of the small, blue local songtaews (covered pickup trucks with seats in the rear) is a safer means of transportation and while they follow fixed routes, songtaews will allow you to get on an off anywhere along the way.
Rental Car or motorbike:
For more freedom to explore it is possible to rent a car or motorbike from various places in Surat Thani town. Be aware that only Commercial First Class Insurance provides full coverage on rental cars (as opposed to limited personal or third party only insurance). Most international car rental agencies will offer this insurance (some only for those with a valid international driver's license) while local companies may or may not. You may wish to request a copy of their insurance policy and ensure that it states "For Commercial Use". Regardless, inspect rental vehicles prior to rental and drive with caution, particularly as traffic in Thailand can be quite confusing, especially the habit of Thai motorcycles drivers to drive on the wrong side of the road.
For around 200 to 300 baht per day you can hire your own motorbike, which will typically require you to leave your passport as a deposit. Be sure to inspect bikes prior to rental and drive with extreme caution as rental motorbikes are not normally insured and accidents are frequent. Helmets are required by Thai law.

East Carbon Police along with U.S. Secret Service Officers take Pedro Gonzalez of East Carbon into custody following the service of a forgery warrant Tuesday morning.
East Carbon Police and the U.S. Secret Service arrested three suspects early Tuesday after months of investigating an alleged counterfeiting and forgery ring.
According to East Carbon Police Sgt. Phillip Holt, officials began rounding up suspects on Monday night when a chance traffic stop put investigators next to their alleged lead suspect.
Holt confirmed that Dwayne Duncan of East Carbon had been taken into custody under a forgery warrant late last night near Sunnyside Park.
"We already had signed warrants from the court and decided to make an arrest we came in contact with Mr. Duncan," he explained. "We held off on the other suspects until this morning."
At about 7 a.m., the law enforcement team simultaneously served additional forgery warrants on Pedro and Patricia Gonzalez and Leonard Carrillo, all of East Carbon.
Investigators continued to work into Tuesday afternoon as the Price Police arrested Robbie and Sherry Allen of East Carbon for their involvement in the case.
At the time of publication, investigators were questioning the suspects to determine possible federal charges.
Read Thursday's Sun Advocate for a full account of the investigation and any subsequent arrests from East Carbon Officer Shawn Sackett, who has been working with federal officials since the case's inception.

Women's Tennis Defeats Bradley 5-2 on Senior Day
OMAHA, Neb. - The Creighton women's tennis team defeated Bradley 5-2 in its final home match of the season on Senior Day at the Hanscom Tennis Center.
Creighton (8-9, 1-3 MVC) claimed its first win in the conference over visiting Bradley (8-12, 0-4 MVC) as CU senior Anna Kirshenbaum closed out her career on the courts with a convincing singles win.
The Creighton sophomore duo of Jennie Hartjes and Amanda Noonan blanked the Braves' Kennedy Scott and Carly Miles at No. 2 doubles to get the Bluejays started. On court three, CU freshman Sam Anderson and sophomore Liz Vermillion teamed up to edge Elizabeth Przystawsk and Meredith McDonaugh of BU in extra games at 9-8 to claim the doubles point for Creighton.
Bradley claimed the final doubles at the top spot when the Braves' tandem of Adele Henke and Sarah Rodefeld slipped past CU's Kirshenbaum and junior Analese Snyder 8-7.
Kirshenbaum shined at No. 3 singles for Creighton as the first one off the court. The senior rolled to a 6-0, 6-1 victory over Miles. Snyder quickly followed with another decisive Bluejay victory on court two with a 6-2, 6-0 decision over Rodefeld.
With Creighton up 3-0, Bradley got on the scoreboard with a win at No. 4 singles. BU's Cassia Wojtalik took the first set in a tiebreaker before claiming the second set 6-1 for a team point.
Hartjes clinched the team match point for Creighton at the top spot. Hartjes toppled Henke 6-4, 6-2 on court one to put Creighton up 4-1.
CU sophomore Taylor Koehrson recorded the final point for the Jays on court six with a 7-5, 6-2 victory over McDonaugh. Bradley's Przystawsk won the final point on court five in three sets, knocking off Vermillion with a 7-6, 2-6, 1-0 victory.
Creighton completes the regular season with a pair of MVC road matches next weekend at Southern Illinois and Evansville.

ROME (NBC) - Pope Francis met with the college of cardinals Friday morning at the Vatican.
In attendance were both the cardinals who elected him and those who were too old to take part in conclave.
He spoke to the cardinals in Italian from a prepared text but often added off-the-cuff remarks.
He told the cardinals that the role of older people in the church was to pass on optimism and hope to younger generations looking for spiritual guidance in a modern world full of temptations.
NBC's Tracie Potts has more from Italy in the video player above.

For lovers of Typically Swiss Hotels
This typically 19th century building is part of the old town of Yverdon-les-Bains. Nestling between the Jura, the hills of the Broye and Lake Neuchâtel, this little town is not just one of French-speaking Switzerland's major spas, but also a water sports centre and nature lovers' paradise. The Grande Cariçaie nature reserve, for example, extends all the way along the sparsely populated southern shore of the lake. Yet Yverdon is also home to some unusual museums, including Europe's first science fiction museum with its new Jules Vernes Room, which is well worth a visit.

The strength of Android technology was recently affirmed this weekend with incredible sales following the launch of the Verizon DROID, largely driven by excitement over the phone's reputation for high quality performance and unique features. In addition to the DROID, other cell phones using the Android platform, such as the DROID Eris and the Sprint moment have recently become available. There are literally thousands of apps for the DROID, with a select few standing out from the rest.
The apps generating the most buzz include: Flixster, Meridian, Flyscreen, Nesoid, Twidroid, Qik/Ustream, TED, Barcode Reader, 3Banana, and Power Manager. All of these are free except for Nesoid, which costs $1.99, and Power manager, coming in at $.99. Flixster provides information on movies, reviews and show times. Meridian is considered the best media player for the Android system and plays MP3, MP4, OGG and 3GPP files. Flyscreen is a lock screen replacement offering widgets on a customizable canvas. Nesoid is a highly-reviews NES emulator, which also comes in a Lite version. Twidroid is a Twitter client, as could be guessed from its creative name. Qik/Ustream are two of the many video streaming service available with Android. TED, which features a diverse array of lectures from the Technology, Entertainment, Design conference, is one of the highest reviewed apps. Barcode Reader and Power Manager are self-explanatory, while 3Banana syncs notes and images from the mobile to your computer.
While Meridian, Nesoid, and TED have so far been the highest reviewed features, room for improvement in some of the apps has also been noted. Meridian is considered the best media player for Android, although the general performance of media players with Android cell phones has been criticized significantly. Users will enjoy the TED app as a fun educational tool, with access to lectures from speakers such as Bill Clinton with the touch of a button. These ten apps may be some of the best Android has to offer, but there are many more quality apps out there waiting to be explored as well.

The Unified Energy System
Produced by co-chairs Roger Duncan and Michael Osborne, this event will feature the innovators and drivers of renewable energy in Texas.
TREIA invites you to join some of our country's and state's top renewable energy thought leaders for what promises to be an enlightening and energizing conference experience. Texas Renewables 2012 [1]will explore the issues that are critical in the ongoing effort to achieve greater national energy self reliance and assurance of Texas electric resource adequacy and reliability.
The election will be a month behind us, giving speakers time to contemplate its implications. Expect insights from our presenters on the new business and political climate. They will explore how renewables can thrive in a purported "all of the above" energy policy future; revisit the drivers of the renewable energy movement; present expectations for the upcoming Texas legislative session; and analyze the latest technologies and how they are changing the template of electricity generation, delivery and demand.
Themed "Renewable Energy and the Unified Energy System," Texas Renewables 2012 will host the state's renewable energy and utility industries, government and non-profit sectors to discuss the most critical issues of our times. A healthier, more sustainable and secure energy future is something to strive for. At Lost Pines Resort in December, we will be working to that end, offering a venue for all sectors to hit the reset button and find a positive direction regardless the climate handed us.

What are the most important lessons we can take from the BP oil spill 48 miles into the Gulf off the Louisiana coast?
The first group is a batch of slogans. These varied morsels make up the bulk of the news. Examples are:
• Stop offshore drilling.
• The government is made of incompetent liars.
• Rich corporations are greedy sharks headed by phony numbskulls.
• Ignore experts. They get money from some interest or other.
A further look finds more involved and coherent aspects to apply to this and other issues, such as:
Henchmen point fingers. A look at the Gulf's dirty goo teaches that time spent pointing fingers does nothing to solve the problem or slow the spread of damage from it. People get riled when they see BP and its cohorts turn to finger-pointing.
Yet just as many people think pointing fingers is proudly productive when it gushes in the news year after year. I refer, of course, to the many straw bosses in our two leading parties — the henchmen who think finger-pointing is the best of political art and science.
Pointing fingers does nothing for oil leaks, BP, political parties, the nation or any other problem. That point is clear when we look at BP's oil in the Gulf.

AKWESASNE A New York City attorney who has represented several Mohawks on various issues for more than two decades faces 18 months in federal prison after admitting Monday in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, that he did not file state or federal tax returns for six years.
Stanley L. Cohen, 61, pleaded guilty to corruptly obstructing and impeding the Internal Revenue Service, according to a statement by Richard S. Hartunian, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York. As part of the plea agreement, Mr. Cohen must also plead guilty within 10 days in the Southern District of New York to pending charges of failure to file income tax returns. He will also be required to pay all income taxes due for the years 2005-10. Sentencing was set for Aug. 21.
The plea cancels a trial that was to begin Monday. According to Mr. Hartunians statement, prosecutors were prepared to introduce evidence showing that in the tax year 2004, the last year Mr. Cohen filed a tax return, he claimed gross receipts of $289,000 when in fact investigators learned that he had deposits of more than $426,000 for the year. Investigators also learned that for the years 2004 through 2010, Mr. Cohen had deposits totaling $3.67 million in his accounts.
Search warrants were executed at his law office in New York City and at his law office and home in Jeffersonville, Sullivan County, and investigators found that Mr. Cohen essentially kept no financial records regarding income or payments of fees from clients. From 2005 to 2010, he also failed to file tax documents for payments made to a law office assistant.
Among other findings is that Mr. Cohen caused wire transfers of cash to his accounts to be made by clients, many of whom were residents of the Akwesasne Mohawk Reservation. These wire transfers were all made by MoneyGram from a convenience store near the reservation. The wire transfers totaled more than $643,000 between October 2004 and December 2008.
Mr. Cohen has represented several criminal defendants in the north country, including a Mohawk businessman who pleaded guilty in 1998 to failing to file currency reports stemming from what prosecutors claimed was a $700 million cigarette and alcohol smuggling operation. In St. Lawrence County, he represented one of six defendants convicted of conspiring to rob Daniel P. Simonds in 2008 at his town of Stockholm residence. During an ensuing struggle, Mr. Simonds was shot and killed in what prosecutors said was a drug-related robbery. Mr. Cohen also has represented defendants in Jefferson County Court.
The attorney represented parents of three St. Regis Mohawk School students in a 2005 federal lawsuit against the Salmon River Central School District over whether a traditional Mohawk thanksgiving address constituted a prayer and whether it should be recited at the school. The school district banned the recital of the address at the school, citing the constitutional separation of church and state, while the parents argued the address was a non-religious expression of Mohawk culture. The suit was dismissed in 2007, with a judge agreeing with the district.
Mr. Cohen had asked to have his federal trial postponed, claiming that he was exhausted and unable to properly prepare his defense following his representation in March in federal court in New York City of Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, Osama bin Ladens son-in-law. Abu Ghaith, chief spokesman for al-Qaida after 9/11, was convicted March 27 of charges that included conspiracy to kill Americans and providing support to al-Qaida. He is the highest-ranking al-Qaida figure brought to trial on U.S. soil since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Judge Norman A. Mordue twice denied Mr. Cohens requests to have his own trial delayed.

Submission Why does a voting machine need calibration?->
Shotgun writes: I heard on the radio that there were some issues with voting machines in Greensboro, NC (my hometown), and the story said the machines just needed "recalibration". Which made me ask, "WTF? Why does a machine for choosing between one of a few choices need 'calibration'?" This story seems to explain the issue.

We were a typical middle-class American family leading typical busy lives...until Alzheimer's entered the door. There was so much we did not know, so much we had to learn, and the learning curve was very steep like riding the space shuttle really fast, straight up. When dealing with a parent who is slowly losing their mind before your very eyes, it is important to maintain a sense of humor. We relied on our ability to laugh together when Mother aimed the TV remote control at the microwave and expected Andy of Mayberry to show up on the little window.
My beloved father, Maurice died in 2004 from what we were told was probably Alzheimer's. (We were told that without a brain autopsy one can't be 100% sure.) My husband and I moved to South Carlolina in 1995 to be near my elderly parents to help my 5' 2" petite Mom care for my 6'2" tall Dad. My Dad was educated at Princeton and Tufts. He had been a successful executive, served his country in WWII in the Navy, and served his church & community for many, many years in leadership roles.
My name is Aaralyn Oakley-Wheeler, and lost my husband to the merciless disease of early onset Alzheimers/Picks Disease in December of 2009. Jim was a retired officer of the U.S. Marine Corp. A tall, straping handsome man. He was diagnosed in early March of 2006, upon finding out that he was having difficulty performing his job. He had retired for the Marines in 1995 and worked as an Infrastructure Analyst at DSCC (government facility). To say that my life stopped on a dime that day would be an understatement.
