[Finding Moderate Muslims:] Do you believe in modernity?
by Daniel Pipes
Translations of this item:
If militant Islam is the problem and moderate Islam is the solution, as I often argue, how does one differentiate between these two forms of Islam?
It's a tough question, especially as concerns Muslims who live in Western countries. To understand just how tough it is, consider the case of Abdurahman Alamoudi, a prominent American figure associated with 16 Muslim organizations.
FBI spokesman Bill Carter described one of those, the American Muslim Council, as "the most mainstream Muslim group in the United States." The Defense Department entrusted two of them (the Islamic Society of North America and the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Council) to vet Islamic chaplains for the armed forces. The State Department thought so highly of Alamoudi, it six times hired him and sent him on all-expenses-paid trips to majority-Muslim countries to carry what it called "a message of religious tolerance." Alamoudi's admirers have publicly hailed him as a "moderate," a "liberal Muslim," and someone known "for his charitable support of battered women and a free health clinic."
But this image of moderation collapsed recently when an Alamoudi-endorsed chaplain was arrested and charged with mishandling classified material; when Alamoudi himself was arrested on charges of illegal commerce with Libya; and when Alamoudi's Palm Pilot was found to contain contact information on seven men designated by the United States government as global terrorists.
Distinguishing between real and phony moderation, obviously, is not a job for amateurs like US government officials.
The best way to discern moderation is by delving into the record - public and private, Internet and print, domestic and foreign - of an individual or institution. Such research is most productive with intellectuals, activists and imams, all of whom have a paper trail. With others, who lack a public record, it is necessary to ask questions. These need to be specific, as vague inquiries ("Is Islam a religion of peace?" "Do you condemn terrorism?") have little value, depending as they do on definitions (of peace, terrorism).
Useful questions might include:
It is ideal if these questions are posed publicly - in the media or in front of an audience - thereby reducing the scope for dissimulation.
No single reply establishes a militant Islamic disposition (plenty of non-Muslim Europeans believe the Bush administration itself carried out the 9/11 attacks); and pretence is always a possibility, but these questions offer a good start to the vexing issue of separating enemy from friend.
Dec. 27, 2004 update: I have collected my writings on the topic of reformist Muslims at "Bibliography – My Writings on Moderate Islam."
Oct. 5, 2005 update: For what others have come up with to determine who is an Islamist and who is not, see "Finding Moderate Muslims - More Questions."
June 3, 2006 update: For comments on the above list of questions, see John Furedy's "Organizational vs. individual application of Pipes's list."
Sep. 6, 2004 update: A semi-comical American Muslim "leader" replied to this article and I reply to him at "Hamza Yusuf Fails My 'Test'."
Apr. 28, 2007 update: For a sarcastic application of these question to Christians, see "Daniel Pipes on How to Expose Militant Christianity."

Expected value of perfect information
In decision theory, the expected value of perfect information (EVPI) is the price that one would be willing to pay in order to gain access to perfect information.[1]
The problem is modeled with a payoff matrix Rij in which the row index i describes a choice that must be made by the payer, while the column index j describes a random variable that the payer does not yet have knowledge of, that has probability pj of being in state j. If the payer is to choose i without knowing the value of j, the best choice is the one that maximizes the expected monetary value:
is the expected payoff for action i i.e. the expectation value, and
is choosing the maximum of these expectations for all available actions. On the other hand, with perfect knowledge of j, the player may choose a value of i that optimizes the expectation for that specific j. Therefore, the expected value given perfect information is
where is the probability that the system is in state j, and is the pay-off if one follows action i while the system is in state j. Here indicates the best choice of action i for each state j.
The expected value of perfect information is the difference between these two quantities,
This difference describes, in expectation, how much larger a value the player can hope to obtain by knowing j and picking the best i for that j, as compared to picking a value of i before j is known. Note: EV|PI is necessarily greater than or equal to EMV. That is, EVPI is always non-negative.
EVPI provides a criterion by which to judge ordinary mortal forecasters. EVPI can be used to reject costly proposals: if one is offered knowledge for a price larger than EVPI, it would be better to refuse the offer. However, it is less helpful when deciding whether to accept a forecasting offer, because one needs to know the quality of the information one is acquiring.
Suppose you were going to make an investment into only one of three investment vehicles: stock, mutual fund, or certificate of deposit (CD). Further suppose, that the market has a 50% chance of increasing, a 30% chance of staying even, and a 20% chance of decreasing. If the market increases the stock investment will earn $1500 and the mutual fund will earn $900. If the market stays even the stock investment will earn $300 and the mutual fund will earn $600. If the market decreases the stock investment will lose $800 and the mutual fund will lose $200. The certificate of deposit will earn $500 independent of the market's fluctuation.
What is the expected value of perfect information?
Expectation for each vehicle:
The maximum of these expectations is the stock vehicle. Not knowing which direction the market will go (only knowing the probability of the directions), we expect to make the most money with the stock vehicle.
On the other hand, consider if we did know ahead of time which way the market would turn. Given the knowledge of the direction of the market we would (potentially) make a different investment vehicle decision.
Expectation for maximizing profit given the state of the market:
That is, given each market direction, we choose the investment vehicle that maximizes the profit.
Knowing the direction the market will go (i.e. having perfect information) is worth $350.
If someone was selling information that guaranteed the accurate prediction of the future market direction, we would want to purchase this information only if the price was less than $350. If the price was greater than $350 we would not purchase the information, if the price was less than $350 we would purchase the information. If the price was exactly $350, then our decision is futile.
Suppose the price for the information was $349.99 and we purchased it. Then we would expect to make 1030 - 349.99 = 680.01 > 680. Therefore, by purchasing the information we were able to make $0.01 more than if we didn't purchase the information.
Suppose the price for the information was $350.01 and we purchased it. Then we would expect to make 1030 - 350.01 = 679.99 < 680. Therefore, by purchasing the information we lost $0.01 when compared to not having purchased the information.
Suppose the price for the information was $350.00 and we purchased it. Then we would expect to make 1030 - 350.00 = 680.00 = 680. Therefore, by purchasing the information we did not gain nor lose any money by deciding to purchase this information when compared to not purchasing the information.
Note: As a practical example, there is a cost to using money to purchase items (time value of money), which must be considered as well.

Newport Bay and Sinepuxent Bay
Watersheds Characterization
Worcester County, Maryland is receiving Federal grant funding to prepare a Watershed Restoration Action Strategy (WRAS) for the Newport Bay and Sinepuxent Bay Watersheds. These watersheds are in the central portion of the Maryland Coastal Bays drainage area. The WRAS project area encompasses about 46,204 acres including about 11,471 acres of open water.
The purpose of the WRAS project is for Worcester County and various stakeholders to determine local priorities for protection and restoration of water quality and habitat.
As part of the WRAS project, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is providing technical assistance, including preparation of a watershed characterization (compilation of available water quality and natural resources information and identification of issues), a stream corridor assessment (uses field inspection data to catalog issues and rate problem severity) and a synoptic survey (analyzes benthic macroinvertebrates, fish and water samples with focus on nutrients). The County will use this information to help generate the Watershed Restoration Action Strategy.

On January 25, 2013, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) published the long-awaited HIPAA final omnibus rule (Final Rule). Among the mandates in the Final Rule are several new requirements for Business Associate Agreements (BAAs). While there is likely to be little controversy regarding the requirements, the new standards will probably require HIPAA Covered Entities (health care providers, health plans and insurers) to modify their existing BAAs by either September 2013 or 2014, depending upon the facts of a given situation.
For over a decade, the HIPAA regulations have required Covered Entities to enter into BAAs with all contracted parties who: (1) perform a function on behalf of the Covered Entity and (2) have access to protected health information (PHI) of a Covered Entity as a result of that function. The required terms of BAAs are set forth in the HIPAA regulations.
The Final Rule slightly modified some of the requirements surrounding BAAs, added some new required statements regarding delegated duties and removed some requirements relating to notifications to HHS in certain circumstances. While these modifications, additions and subtractions may not result in substantial modifications, they will likely require some changes to existing BAAs. In addition, the HHS Office for Civil Rights has issued a new sample BAA, which may serve as the new standard in the industry. We advise you to review this sample language and tailor it to your unique circumstances before adopting it.
Given the required changes and the new sample provisions from HHS, we recommend that all clients review their existing BAAs and formulate a plan for modifying or replacing these agreements.
The general date for compliance with the Final Rule is September 23, 2013. However, HHS has granted a one-year grace period for all BAAs that were in place prior to the date the Final Rule was issued (January 25, 2013). This grace period allows the parties to continue existing BAAs, though they will be treated as though they are operating under the new law. The grace period extends until (1) the date the BAA is modified or renewed,* or (2) September 22, 2014; whichever is earlier.
*Automatic renewal of agreements through "evergreen" clauses does not count as a renewal for these purposes.
We recommend that Covered Entities take the following steps:

Picking a new hue is only half the battle when it comes to changing your nail color: you also have to decide what finish will complete your look best. Nail polish brands have been releasing different consistencies and textures for years, but without a thorough understanding of each finish you may not be pleased when you brush on a sultry crème instead of a subtle sheer. We've got the rundown on the most popular nail polish finishes and how to incorporate each one into your next manicure.
Crème: Your most common finish, a crème lacquer appears solid in the bottle, has a fairly thick consistency (making it a dream for application!) and dries opaque (usually even after the first coat). The finish is classic and bold, and leads a helpful hand when doing any form of nail art.
Sheer: Also called soft shades, these hues have a watery consistency that remains fairly transparent on the nail once dry. Mostly available in neutrals and light pinks, this go-to finish for many brides-to-be is feminine and professional (also ideal for those jobs that won't let you show extra personality on your tips).
Metallic: Metallics usually come in gold, silver and copper, but there are variations in between. Close to frosts and chromes, metallics are edgy and rich. They balance crème manicures by offering a shining accent to your tips or ring finger. Consistency is opaque and requires only 2 coats.
Shimmer: Loaded with the tiniest of glitters, shimmers add the right amount of sparkle to an otherwise crème or sheer shade. There are some brilliant shimmers that glisten no matter the lighting and others that are most noticeable in sunlight. Appropriate for work or play, shimmers come in everything from beige to black to teal to pink.
Glitter: Glitters are every girl's dream. Flashy, youthful or elegant, they exude confidence. Glitters range in size from small circular specks to large hexagram chunks–size can determine how easily the product will apply and what type of coverage you'll get (the smaller the flecks the more even the application). Worn alone, they glisten uncontrollably and are the ultimate accessory. Worn on top of an existing manicure, they add dimension and endless opportunities thanks to the range of colors and sizes you can find.
Duochrome: The chameleon of nail polishes, duochromes complete two looks in one. The mica in these polishes complement the base shade of the lacquer, but stand out making your nail color appear a different hue when caught by the eye just right. You can identify this type of finish by rolling the bottle on its side. Pink at one angle and strong inflections of blue in another, you've got yourself a duochrome! Go with this lacquer if you really can't pick just one shade.
Holographic: This finish might as well be a unicorn, because it is magical, elusive and heavily sought after. Using the roll-the-bottle technique, holographics are most noticeable by the rainbow look they give off. They are playful and distracting in the best way possible (seriously, you will not be able to stop looking at your nails). The mica in these polishes is almost iridescent, creating an oil spill effect worth showing off.
Matte: Matte lacquers have a smaller color offering, however thanks to products like essie Matte About You Matte Finisher, you can get this look with any polish. A matte shade is not identifiable just from looking at the bottle, but you'll notice the finish by the quick drying time and satiny appearance. Polish on 2 coats for a dulled, but incredibly daring, manicure.
Jelly: Close in consistency to a sheer, the main different is that jellies tends to come in more vibrant hues. This finish is identifiable by its watery consistency that can be seen when tipping the bottle on its side. Meant to give your nails a super glossy, candy-like finish, it will be slightly translucent on the nail–meaning if your tips are longer you will definitely see the smile line. Give jellies a try this summer or polish one over your favorite glitter (we promise you'll be happy with the result).

The new iteration of the Mako 284 Center Console is better than anything the brand has ever built, in our opinion.
Mission of the Mako 284 Center Console
Mission: To go offshore and provide everything needed as standard and recapture the offshore sportfishing market's hearts and minds that the brand so strongly dominated 35 years ago. In a word, to restore Mako's good name with the offshore saltwater fishing community.
The Method of Restoration. By listening to owner feedback on the 284 in the years after it was first introduced in the last decade, Tracker management realized changes needed to be made. It redesigned and retooled much of the 284 to solve the problems and then began building the boat in a modern facility with state-of-the-art machinery. The result is not only a fix of the boat's shortcomings, but also a new fit-and-finish quality that has never before been seen on a Mako, even in the beginning.
Pricing. Tracker Marine Group is known for building small aluminum and fiberglass boats for freshwater fishing at low prices, but the Mako 284 Center Console is its flagship for saltwater fishing. It wants the Mako brand to concede nothing to any competitor in order to keep the price down. That means that the Mako 284 Center Console won't be cheap. In fact, foot-for-foot, and in total price, she will be one of Tracker's most expensive boats.
But Tracker knows the key to success with Mako is to load the boat up, have everything done right, and then price the 284 attractively vis-à-vis its competition. Thanks to its manufacturing, component procurement, and retail efficiencies it can be done and have a first-rate boat at the same time.
It is hard to see detail in this image but our reason for showing it is to show all of the storage bins and how large they are. There are 8 in this picture and a few more that can't be seen.
This is one of the two fishboxes in the stern of the boat, port and starboard. Each hold 390 quarts. Note standard 9' rod racks in the bulwarks.
The head compartment under the helm console is so deep a three-step ladder is needed so there will be no problem with headroom. The console has been redesigned and has an acrylic door with double gaskets and lock to keep it water tight.
A boat like the 284 Center Console should have three batteries and it does. These live in the head compartment behind a hatch that has been removed. Note the tidy wire runs on the bulkhead in the background. Today, every wire on the Mako 284 Center Console has its function printed right on it every 6" so wires can easily be traced. The switches above look complicated but are not. Turn one switch and the vessel is good to go.
On floor of the head is an acrylic cover with a flip-up edge in order to access the shower sump pump without having to unscrew the plate.
Distinguishing Features
●For Anglers Only. The Mako 284 Center Console is not a "crossover" or "fish-and-cruise" center console. She has one purpose and that is game fishing in blue water.
●Nearly All Fishing Equipment Needed is Standard. When we looked down the options list we found only one fishing accessory that we would add. That was a pair of outriggers for $1,700. That's it, other than electronics.
●Comfort Amenities Not Standard. Things like forward cushions, a sound system, a conventional boarding swim ladder and an electric head are all optional. Optional, because this boat has one primary mission.
The leaning post console has been redesigned. The 50 gallon livewell has a tight rubber seal and is anti-slosh. Sink with pressure cold water is at left. Lower the lid and the counter becomes a bait pre-center.
Major Features
In order to draw a picture of the depth and breath of the equipment and amenities built-in as standard we will tick off the major ones --
●Leaning Post Console. This is a sophisticated design with every bit of space inside utilized; bait prep station with cutting board, sink, tackle box storage and a 50 gallon (189.27 L) aerated, anti-slosh livewell. Plus there is a lockable glove box and a storage bin under the seat.
●Canvas T-Top. We like canvas because it is lightweight. It has 3 spreader lights, 5 rod holders and a fiberglass electronics box. Boaters who prefer to trade this out for a composite hardtop can do so at little added cost.
●Insulated Fishboxes in Stern. There are two 390 quart (369.08 L) fishboxes in the cockpit sole. They have gravity drainage and a diaphragm pump which we think is better than having a macerator.
On the port side of the leaning post are the tackle drawers and the rack for the cutting board. Note the hatch to the raw water washdown at right.
●Storage Bins in Bulwarks. In addition to the tackle drawers in the leaning post console there are also port and starboard bins which can hold gear, tackle boxes, or trash.
●Port and Starboard Molded Casting Platforms. These forward casting platforms have a cooler-mounting flat between.
●Bow Storage Compartment. The 284 Center Console has a number of storage compartments which all drain. The largest capacity is in the deck at 470 quart (444.70 L).
●Forward Seat Storage. Under the forward seats are self-draining 214 quart lockers that can be used for storage, as fish boxes or for cold beverages.
●6 Gunwale-Mounted Rod Holders. Most builders make only four standard.
●Back-Up Pump for Livewell. The pump for the livewell is 1,600 gph and has an auxiliary back-up pump of 1,100 gph.
This is a view of the "pump room" which is just forward of the transom. Partially in view under the forward lip are the port and starboard engine fuel filters.
Construction Details
●100% Composite Construction. This means that there is no encapsulated wood in the transom, deck or stringers.
●Closed Molded Hatch Covers. This is an important advancement for Mako construction as it means tighter tolerances, better finish work, molded-in groves for rubber gaskets and quieter operation.
●Four 2" Drains in Cockpit. Mako has installed two 2" drains in each stern quarter of its cockpit, thereby cutting in half the time to drain the cockpit. There are valves on these hoses. In-deck water channels drain water directly into the drains.
●Tempered Glass Windshield. Mako has eliminated the plastic windscreen and upgraded to glass.
●Upgraded Head Compartment. The head enclosure has a fiberglass inner liner, sink, mirror, removable storage and an access hatch to batteries and wiring. Most important, the lockable acrylic door now has double gaskets to keep it water tight.
●One-Piece Stringer. The 284 Center Console has a gel coated, single-unit stringer system.
●All Thru-Hulls Quickly Accessible. A concern all boaters have (or should have) is the integrity of thru-hull fittings and hoses leading to them. Mako has provided quick access by means of hatches to all through-hulls, which in turn all have ball valves.
The tempered glass windscreen provide distortion-free visibility. Now all we need is a windshield wiper.
This is the way all Mako 284 Center Console helm consoles begin life. It is hard to see in this image, but the right one-third of the instrument panel is angled toward the skipper for better visibility. The compass is where it should be, directly over the hub of the steering wheel.
With nav screens and other electronics added the instrument panel comes to life and is large enough to handle it all. Note that the accessory switches are under a clear acrylic screen that both keeps water off and protects them from being accidently hit.
The leaning post can also be sat upon and foot rests in the console give both skipper and navigator support.
Under the helm seat is a bin to store any manner of items plus a lockable glove box for wallet, cell phone or other valuables.
Operation Features
●Standard Trim Tabs. Mako is using Lenco electric trim tabs as standard equipment and on the dash are indicator lights showing their position. When the engines are turned off the tabs retract automatically which keeps them from being damaged when the boat is being hauled or trailered.
●Hydraulic Steering. Mercury makes its own hydraulic steering mechanisms and installs them on their outboard engines and is the only brand to do so. Other outboard brands use third party vendors to make the hydraulic units and the builder must install them.
●Two Bilge Pumps. The 284 Center Console has two, 2,000 gph (7,570 lph) bilge pumps that are automatic and also can be activated manually.
●Raw Water Washdown. Every fishboat needs to be washed down and the 284 Center Console has the pump for it.
We would order the optional fold-way transom seat ($1,000). It is removable.
The 2-stroke 200-hp Mercury OptiMax XL is standard and is one of six engine models available for the 284 Center Console. The standard engines have 2-stage direct fuel injection and a multi-point oil pump system. The engines come with SmartCraft diagnostics which monitor 23 different key engine functions.
Power & Pricing
The 284 comes standard with twin Mercury 200-hp XL OptiMax 2-stroke direct-injection engines. 2-stroke engines are known for their low-end torque that can get a boat on plane quickly. These V-6 3.0 L outboards have 20" shaft lengths and weigh 508 lbs. (229 kgs.) each. The price of the boat with the standard engines is published on Mako's website as $94,995.
Mako offers five optional twin outboard rigs ranging from 200-hp Verados to 300-hp Verados. All outboards offered are by Mercury. Pricing ranges from just under $100,000 to about $111,000 for twin Mercury Verados 300s.
This is an option that we like and would have rolled up in one of the forward compartments. We like it because it extends the number of days the boat can be used in the spring and fall. It might also come in handy in a driving rain storm. Note the "gull wings" that tie to the gunwales. ($1,250.)
Two key features of the Mako 284 Center Console are her relatively high freeboard and deep cockpit. The freeboard at the transom is 30" (75 cm). Note the gunwales reach up to the thighs of the stern. The 284 is well-known for being a dry boat and its freeboard, bow flare, and wide chine are the reasons.
The Mako 284 is not your father's Mako, nor even yours if you bought one just a few years ago. The big issues such as leaky hatches, poor fit of the head door, busted gas shocks and other issues have been solved in the Gen II version of the 284.
Now Mako is also offering a number of hull colors for the boat for a $940 up-charge. We'd go for it as it will set the boat apart from all of the white ones in the marina.
Important Attributes. The four most important features of the 284 are the same as always --
1) She is incredibly roomy inside thanks to the wide decks around the center console and the deck area in the bow and stern. Her 9'10" (2.99 m) beam makes that all possible.
2) The 284 is remarkably dry thanks to her high freeboard forward, bow flare, wide hard chine and running angle.
3) She has a reputation for being quite seaworthy far offshore where things can get sloppy. Again this is due to her relatively high freeboard, but also due to her weight and CG.
4) Because of her 6,000 lb. (2,727 kg.) dry displacement, her 21-degree deadrise at the transom and her 9'10" (2.99 m) beam she is more stable offshore, particularly when drift fishing or trolling, than other boats with a deeper-V, less beam, and lower displacement.
Essentially these are the reasons that real men and women going offshore to hunt fish have always liked the Mako 284 Center Console.
The three-man crew are all working together to fill their larder. Note that there is plenty of room for three big men in the stern of this boat.
Detail Snapshots of the Mako 284 Center--
The fiberglass cabinet under the standard t-top can come in handy for all sorts of things, including a stereo, VHF radio, binoculars, etc.
The Mako 284 has opening bins in the bulwarks both port and starboard.
Most people will use the lockers under the forward seats for gear. Note the rubber gasket that the builder says will keep water out of the locker.
The anchor locker on the Mako 284 Center Console is most unusual, but frankly we like it because it is so handy.
Simply reach in, grab the anchor and chain and throw it overboard under the bow pulpit. Note the chock that leads the rode to the cleat mounted on the centerline.
This is the largest storage compartment in the boat. It is under the deck forward of the console and is 470 quart. It has a drain.
Most center consoles have a seat forward of the console and the 284 Center Console is no exception. Mako has created an insulated cooler with drain to be a handy place for refreshments on ice.
The standard t-top is supported by aluminum tubes that are affixed to the deck. Note how close they are to the console. Because of the boat's beam they do not restrict passage fore and aft.
All lights on the Mako 284 are now LED which lowers maintenance.

MH17 investigation suspended due to increased danger in Eastern Ukraine
The international investigation at the MH17 crash site in Eastern Ukraine has been suspended as danger in the area increases.
The Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte announced the suspension in the morning today saying that it was too risky to continue investigations, reports The Daily Telegraph.
Rutte said that the decision had been taken with mutual consent of Australia and Malaysia. He added that the victims' families had been informed.
He consoled the victims' families saying that the investigation was not over and that only one aspect had been put to break.
The Dutch PM also said that it would take three weeks before the bodies are recovered.
The Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) had worked towards ensuring a safe passage to the crash site for investigators.
According to reports, the number of bodies returned to the Netherlands would be clear once the analysis of 700 DNA samples is completed.

At a ceremony at Government House in Australia's Capital City Canberra, on the 18th of september, the Governor-General of Australia, Her Excellency Ms Quentin Bryce AC CVO made Anthony 'Tony' Abbott the 28th Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of Australia.
Mr Abbott, a British born politician and Rhodes Scholar, took the top job from former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd in a crushing victory over the Labor Leader. Mr Abbott is a true monarchist and is a former Executive Director of Australians for a Constitutional Monarchy. At his ceremony, he used the once abolished pledge to the Queen of Australia, "I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Queen Elizabeth the second, the Queen of Australia". Mr Abbott then presented his frontbench team to the Governor-General, saying: "We pledge ourselves to serve the people of Australia, for their benefit, to the very best of our ability."
Newly Elected, Prime Minister Abbott
While Her Excellency has strong ties to the former Labor Government that appointed her, including her son-in-law Bill Shorten who is a nominee to replace former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd as leader of the labor party, she was nothing but professional in her typical regal fashion as she swore in the new government. While Ms Bryce, who is the former Governor of Queensland, was appointed by the former Government, there has been no mention of her being replaced.
Mr Abbott has met the Queen previously in his capacity as leader of the opposition. He met Her Majesty at Government House during her most recent tour of Australia in October 2011 where she was attending the CHOGM meeting in Perth. He then met with the Prince of Wales during his recent trip for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in November 2012.
Tony has been welcomed by monarchists across Australia.

Hopefully now we can at least have four years of political stability instead of having a party in charge that was more interested in chopping and changing the leaders and not giving a damn about the country. Though, the way the senate is elected needs to be changed. The way all elections are run should be changed. It's too easy to vote in multiple places in the same electorate.
For Mr. Abbott pledging allegiance is not lip service. That differs him from the past two prime ministers (and plenty of his own ministerial colleagues).

It's a fine line the Tigers are walking at Archer.
The fourth-year softball program earned its school's first trip to the state tournament in Columbus with a sweep of North Gwinnett last week, a feat worthy of celebrating. Yet, head coach Kris Daniels wants more from his team than just a few days of fun in Columbus.
"Everybody was very excited," Daniels said. "To get down there in our fourth year was a pretty big deal to these girls. We talked to the girls about how this trip down there, we don't want to go together just to have fun and make memories. We want to play ball and win games. We want to get them ready to play ball instead of playing around."
Daniels said he has little concern for his team's focus, led by senior pitcher and team leader Nani Cabrales, the Tigers reached the Elite Eight in business-like fashion with sweeps of Etowah and North Gwinnett.
"It's a pretty focused group," Daniels said. "I think they are ready to go."
And with a starting pitcher like Cabrales, they are very confident. The senior posted a 16-4 record this season with a 1.63 ERA and 136 strikeouts. At the plate, she his .424 with four homers and 24 RBIs. She has pitched in every playoff game this postseason.
"Nani is just a special athlete," Daniels said. "She makes everyone around her better just by her ability to hit and pitch. Teams focus on her and other batters see better pitches and pitching-wise everybody is confident behind her because they know she is going to throw strikes and they want to make plays for her."
But Archer is more than just Cabrales.
Junior Alesha Mann, who moved to the lead-off spot for this season, scored 27 runs for the Tigers and hit .385 and drove in 20 runs during the regular season. The three-year starter is versatile enough to hit for power or reach with her speed.
"She gives us a lot of options," Daniels said.
Senior Alliyah Williams hit .382 in the regular season and freshman Jacqui Switzer has only built on her strong regular season with bases clearing doubles against both Etowah and North.
"She's kind of showed up big in those games for us," Daniels said. "She has kind of stepped up her game here in the playoffs."
And it's hard to step up from a regular season of 21 RBIs, 26 runs scored and a .358 average in her first year playing varsity softball.
"That's a tough thing for these kids to do," Daniels said of young players improving during the more intense postseason. "It's easy when there is no pressure and nobody is watching, but when everybody is watching, it's a little different."
And only more eyes show up in Columbus. Giving Daniels and the Tigers another line to straddle; the line between excitement and calm.
"We have really hammered home the fact that we can only control what we do," Daniels said. "We can only make the plays we can make. It's helped them live in the moment.
"They aren't going to score five runs on one swing, they aren't going to get four outs in one play. Hopefully we can continue to step up."

Many people see working at home as the Holy Grail of job perks and thanks to the Internet it's totally possible. Whether you want a full-time job or just want to make a little extra money on the side, the options are there if you know where to look.
Here are three jobs that you can do from home – and the site and tools you need to make them happen.
But first, I should mention that a lot of "work from home" jobs you'll find online are scams. You really need to be alert when searching.
Here are some quick guidelines:
- Always make sure the company is legitimate and has a solid online history.
- Watch out for jobs that promise outrageous amounts of money a week or month.
- Never pay any money – such as application processing fees – up front.
- Never give out personal information in your application that a typical company wouldn't ask for.
- Do your research.
With those caveats in mind, let's look at some jobs.

Newlyweds for 2336 days!
How we met
Itns funny how two small town kids from opposite ends of the country wind up at an even smaller town and find a love for each other that is indescribable. In 2002, it started with each of them believing they were tougher than the other, but in reality, two softies that would do anything for the others smile. For 4 years one treaded water in a cage, while the other swam laps, each dreading the next time they had to climb those horrible steps to the pool they called Moyer. In the end blessed, because it was the pool and the friendships that surrounded them that would give life and memories to this relationship that still grows stronger every day.
Now living in California in the city of San Francisco, Audrey and Miguel plan to take this relationship to the next level. Grateful for what the past has given them and what the future has to come!

The Cut took us behind the scenes of Tyra Banks and Andre Leon Talley's shoot for their Type F "Fa-Fa-Fa Fashion" video series, and now the first one is here! And it's about trenchcoats! As you know, the pair have excellent on-screen chemistry (no, not that kind of chemistry), so you should really watch the entire thing. However, we would like to tell you about the important things this video taught us.
1. Trenchcoats were invented for military men in the trenches. WE DID NOT KNOW THIS.
2. Trenches are sexier than pea coats. Okay, we kind of knew this.
3. You can dye your trench a crazy color once you're sick of khaki. Thrifty!
4. Petite ladies should leave flared coats to their tall friends. Straight coats make you look taller.
5. Andre has not been groomed "down there." TMI, ALT.

Redding stabbing suspect says he was "acting as an animal"
He says he 'took it out' on victims
The Oregon man accused of killing his aunt and nearly killing his uncle Friday during a savage attack at the couple's west Redding home said he was "acting as an animal" as he slit their throats with a knife, according to a police case summary.
Cody Nash, 30, of Hillsboro, Ore., who was arraigned Tuesday in Shasta County Superior Court, is charged with murder in the death of his aunt, Candace Renae Watson, 66, and of attempted murder in the stabbing of her husband, Lynn Robert Watson, 68.
A public defender was appointed to represent Nash, but he did not enter a plea at his arraignment. He is due to return to court on Tuesday and remains in
Shasta County jail with bail set at $1.5 million.
Among those attending the arraignment was Cheryl McMillan of Redding, who said she had been a friend of the retired couple for about 10 years.
"I'm trying to find out why" they were killed, she said. "It's just so senseless. There are no words to describe how everyone is feeling."
In a graphic Redding police case summary, Nash told detectives he attacked the pair to give himself the energy to commit suicide.
"I took it out on them, what I was going to do to myself," Nash is quoted as saying in the police report.
A cousin told police Nash had fallen on hard times, the case summary said.
Nash told an investigator he had intended to kill himself by drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey and cough syrup. He said he believed he had consumed one bottle of cough syrup and some of the whiskey when his aunt came into the kitchen that Friday morning.
He walked up behind her, grabbed a knife from the butcher block and sliced her throat two times, Detective Will Williams said in the report.
Jenelle Bartolo, a coroner's investigator, said Tuesday an autopsy performed Monday on Candace Watson determined that she died from an incised wound of the neck.
After Candace Watson fell to the ground, the police report said, Nash said all he could think he was supposed to do was kill anyone else in the house.
Nash then moved into the master bedroom, where he heard a shower running in the adjoining bathroom, according to the report. He pushed the glass doors to the shower in and believed they broke, cutting his own hands in the process, Williams said in his report.
Armed with two knives, Nash attacked Bob Watson, cutting his throat and slashing him four other times as Watson tried to stop the attack, the report said.
The pair fell to the floor of the bathroom, the police report said. Nash told officers he thought both the Watsons were dead at that point.
"Nash said he was 'acting like an animal' and was filled with adrenaline and rage while attacking the Watsons," the police report said. "He said he intended to kill himself next."
Nash then went into a spare bedroom where he had the whiskey and two more bottles of cough syrup and went outside in the backyard to drink them, the police report said.
But Bob Watson made it out of the house and across the street to a neighbor's yard in an apparent attempt to find help. His wife's body was later found in the garage.
"He thought he had consumed enough that he would die," the police report said. He then returned inside to lie down.
"The next thing he knew, he was being placed into handcuffs and removed from the house," the police report said. "He was surprised he was still alive."
Redding police Sgt. Al Mellon said Watson remains in critical condition at Mercy Medical Center in Redding.
He said doctors are encouraged with the progress he's shown.
"But (he is) still deemed in critical condition and might be that way for weeks to come," Mellon said.
Nash told investigators he knew what he did was wrong and deserved to go to prison, Williams wrote in his report, adding that Nash told him he had not been diagnosed with any mental disorders nor had he ever attempted suicide.
He told police he'd been depressed for about the last five years, according to the police report.
A police investigator who spoke with Candace Watson's daughter, Dawn Lawrence, told him she had considered Nash a nice person and had spoken with him as late as Wednesday.
She said she had loaned Nash $500, and her stepfather, Lynn Robert Watson, had given her the money to cover Nash's debt.
She said her stepfather then actively sought to recover the money from Nash, the police report said, adding that she described her stepfather as a blunt and direct person.
"She said he (Watson) would not hide his feelings if he were mad at anyone," the police report said.
"She remembered Nash telling her that Lynn Watson spoke with him in a very condescending way in the past and he didn't appreciate it."
According to the police report, Nash recently had caught a bus from the Portland area, but slept through the bus stop in Redding and got off in Red Bluff.
He then telephoned his aunt, who drove to Red Bluff to pick him up and drove him to her Redding home.
A memorial for Candace Watson and a gathering to show continued support for her husband is scheduled for 6 p.m. Saturday on the Sacramento River Trail on the east side of the Sundial Bridge just before the entrance to the arboretum.
The event is being held by Rx: Pets, a Redding-based nonprofit that uses animals to promote physical and emotional well-being. Candace Watson had been a member for about 12 years.

TV's Green Screen Revolution Is Here (VIDEO)
It's getting even easier for television studios to create locations or backdrops thanks to green screen technology, and TV is taking as much (if not more) advantage of green screen as movies. And we're not just talking about the science fiction shows. Some series that set in the real world are actually shooting in some warehouse or vacant lot.
You'd think avid TV watchers could pick out the fake backdrops. However, this compilation from Stargate Studios proves that you'll be wrong more than you're right. With this company's advanced Virtual Backlot technology, they can turn a green screen into the Space Needle or an empty night sky into New York's bright skyline.

By TOM McCOURTSun Advocate reporter
The recreation and transportation special service district board met Monday and about 20 members from various shooting sports organizations were on hand to express concerns about the county gun range project.
Carbon Commissioner Bill Krompel began the discussion by asking the special service district for an additional $700,000 to help with the gun range project.
Krompel said a summary of funding to date shows that the project will cost an estimated $3.5 million to get it up and running.
So far, $2.5 million has come from the Utah Community Impact Board and $500,000 from the special service district. Half of the $2.5 million secured through the CIB is a grant. The other half is a loan the county will have to repay. An additional $700,000 from the SSD will bring the project funding to $3.7 million, explained Krompel.
A lengthy, in-depth discussion followed Krompel's request and many members of the public offered comments about the shooting range project..
Service district board member Sam Quigley asked if the $3.7 million expenditure would only complete phase one of the project.
Carbon Commissioner Steve Burge said Quigley's assumptions were correct. The $3.7 million will open the police, rifle and cowboy action shooting ranges. Planned archery, muzzleloader and shotgun ranges along with a parking lot for one of the venues and a hospitality center will not be completed at the present time.
When asked how the project got into a massive cost overrun, Burge said he would talk to the board in executive session, but was not free to discuss certain aspects of the problems in an open meeting.
Quigley asked if the gun range would be serviced by electrical generators instead of a power line connection. The board member was told that each range will have an electrical generator, at least in the short term.
Several items have been redesigned in an attempt to cut costs and the county is currently doing the engineering for the project, explained Burge. Plans for three visitor's centers have been dropped in favor of a less costly larger building.
Service district board member Pace Hansen, asked if plans were in place for maintenance of the facilities. The board member also wanted to know if a watchman would live on site and who would pay the costs.
Burge said county employees would take care of maintenance and security.
Board member Neil Breinholt indicated that the constantly changing money numbers are difficult to follow and comprehend. He asked if the county had an itemized breakdown of all the costs and estimates.
Burge assured Breinholt that the county had an itemized breakdown.
"We've got to plan better here," said Quigley.
The cost overruns are hitting the special service district for more than a 100 percent increase in funding compared to the amount originally pledged for the project, noted the board member.
"In my opinion, for $3 to $4 million dollars, this thing had better give us a good return to the county," said Quigley.
The board member recommended that the special service district require complete and detailed plans for future funding of county projects
Resident Larry Williams pointed out that more than $1 million has been spent so far and none of the projects are completed.
In his opinion, the resident said the problems started when the county hired an architect unfamiliar with gun range designs.
"You need someone who knows gun ranges," commented Williams. "You hired someone who didn't know this type of project." Williams further stated that the money already pledged would not complete the full project.
Hansen asked the county commissioners about the validity of the statement.
"Are there other venues not funded yet? asked Hansen.
Commissioner Mike Milovich said that the gun range will be completed in 2 phases. The police, rifle, and cowboy action ranges will be completed in phase one. The archery, muzzleloader, and skeet ranges will be completed in phase 2. Phase 2 is estimated to cost an additional $1 million dollars and has not been funded yet, he said. The $3.7 million will fund only phase 1.
Quigley then stated that before the shooting range can sponsor any national or international events, it must be sanctioned by an organization like the NRA. He asked if the project would meet those standards when completed.
Don Burge, a member of the audience, assured him that the shooting sports organizations have been working to gain the necessary sanctions for the gun ranges. There were several other public comments on the matter.
Hansen asked that the shooting sports clubs get together and have a spokesman bring their concerns and input to the SSD board at the next scheduled meeting.
SSD board member Neil Breinholt suggested that the shooting sports people sign off on the gun range to be sure the plans meet the requirements for an NRA sanctioned range. He also suggested that the board tour the site with county commissioners to better understand the project and the concerns.
Quigley stated that he recommended that the SSD board approve funding phase 1 of the project as outlined, but in the future be sure that the board receives a full accounting of the entire project.
Commissioner Steve Burge commented the project is not in chaos, even if it sometimes sounds that way. He said the project is fully underway and needs to proceed.
Quigley countered that the board is only trying to understand the project and it does sound like chaos. He said that when a funding agency is asked to make a 100 percent increase in their commitment, they have every right to ask questions.
Breinholt then made a motion that the SSD board ask for a description of the project budget, tour the site, review the overall plans, and resolve the issue of NRA sanctioning before making a further commitment to the project. With those studies done and the questions resolved, the board will re-address the issue at their next meeting.
In closing the discussion, Quigley stated that the board is committed to the project, at least to phase 1, and he asked commissioner Burge if the county needed any of the funds the board has already pledged to be released at this time.
Burge told him that the funds were not needed yet.
In other business, the SSD board received an update of the Helper swimming pool project and the county golf course. Dean Armstrong told the board that the swimming pool project has been plagued with cost increases and unforeseen problems. He said that construction is now at about $300 thousand above the original estimates. Additional funding has been secured, and the project is proceeding, but Armstrong did say that the planned opening for July 4 would not be met.
The board discussed the situation of energy tax funds generated by the State Institutional Trust Lands Administration. It was pointed out that carbon county is receiving only one-half of one percent of the revenues generated by oil and gas mineral extraction in the state.
Milovich told the board that school districts across the state receive SITLA funds depending upon total student enrollment in the districts. He said the carbon school district receives a smaller per pupil allotment than almost any other district in the state. He said that carbon receives about $9.80 per pupil compared to a state average of over $25 dollars per pupil. He said this makes little sense since carbon county is generating more SITLA revenues than any other county in the state.
Milovich said the legislature is addressing the problem by drafting a new plan for allocation of the SITLA monies. "Mike Dmitrich is working on it," Milovich said, "and he will keep us posted."
The board also discussed putting aside money to purchase water shares for the golf course. Currently, the county leases water to run the golf course.
The Dugout Canyon road project was then addressed. Krompel said that Arch Coal Company has agreed to pay $1.1 million toward a two-inch asphalt overlay of the county road to help accommodate the heavy truck traffic. The county has agreed to do a chip-seal of the overlay next year.
The on-going issue of the Nine Mile road was also discussed, but board members agreed that no decisions could be made pending the release of Creamer & Noble's engineering study of the road. The board expects to receive the report in the next two weeks.
In final matters of business, the board adopted a formal mission statement and was presented with a detailed financial report by county clerk, Robert Pero.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Last week's rejection of the Keystone XL pipeline from the Obama administration brought strong words from Gwinnett politicians on both sides of the aisle.
"Republicans in Congress have no one to blame but themselves for the denial of the Keystone Pipeline application because of the arbitrary and artificial deadlines they imposed on the process," said U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson, a Democrat whose district includes part of Gwinnett. "The Keystone Pipeline was never about jobs and energy independence -- it was about taking the dirtiest oil on earth through a pipeline to the Gulf Coast and shipping that oil abroad. I'm glad President Obama stood up for the American people, the environment, clean air and for the health and well-being of the people and wildlife living near the pipeline."
U.S. Rep. Rob Woodall, on the other hand, said the decision cost the country jobs.
"Republicans have passed bill after bill to achieve energy independence and create American jobs, but so far, Senate Democrats have refused to act and this president has done nothing to help," the Lawrenceville congressman said. "The millions of American citizens he has hurt with this decision will make a decision of their own next November. The president has clearly forgotten whom he serves as he does the bidding of radical environmental lobbyists rather than serving Americans seeking jobs and lower energy costs. ... (The) decision suggests to me that the president is putting politics above policy, and that sadly this is a pattern that he seems likely to continue for the whole of 2012. When he chooses politics over people, America loses."
U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson wrote Obama a letter, along with fellow senators, to try to convince President Obama to change his mind.
"Since there is no apparent environmental or security reason to halt approval of this permit, I would hope that the politics of the 2012 election played no role in your decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline permit," the letter said. "Now more than ever is the time we should be developing and exploring all of America's energy resources, ensuring America's energy security, creating jobs for the American people, and stimulating the American economy."

This IS about jobs, Hank J. Did you get your education through Walmart? How is the pipeline going to be built? With computers only? Obama killed it until after the elections for no reason other than to show his backers he is on their side, except for the labor unions. They are for the pipeline. Why do we not build it? So they can ship it to China for them to process the oil and make billions? Give me a break. I thought Obama was throwing money at shovel-ready projects? I guess he lied about that too. Every Democrat needs to be thrown out in Nov and get this country back in the hands of the people again instead of big money supporters. The Democrats are just as rich, if not more, than the rest of us. Take a look at those in Congress now and those that were there before 2011, including those deceased.
HonestIngine 3 years, 8 months ago
Hank Johnson has no clue, it's time for him to move on. Obama stood up for the American people. What kind of comment is that... While the American people are choking to death on a $3.50/ gallon of gas. Johnson needs to be back in civilian life and get out of government service. He is wasting time and our tax dollars with his idiotic comments. We need someone who represents the people. HANK JOHNSON NEEDS TO BE RUN OUT OF OFFICE. He doesn't represent us. What a fool. ...
JohnGalt 3 years, 8 months ago
I believe that if you allow Guam to tip over and capsize, you might find the answer to our energy crisis. After all, there could be some valuable "black gold, texas tea" under there, and the next thing you know "old Johnson's a millionaire". LOL, pretty much anything that starts off with "Hank Johnson says..." is bound to be based on solid concrete ignorance. And they still voted this fool into office. And HonestIngine, if you think $3.50 is a problem, just wait until mid summer when you get $4.50/gallon. It's coming. Oh, and BTW, which one of you will be the first to step forward and declare my "black gold" comment to be racist solely on the basis of your complete misunderstanding where the phrase comes from?
Mack711 3 years, 8 months ago
We need to be oil independant. By vetoing this bill we have become more dependant to Obama's muslim brothers. This is a veto for OPEC. We can refine 'dirty' oil and become independant of OPEC and $4 a gallon gas. Hank should be voted out come November for a statement like this.
BuzzG 3 years, 8 months ago
There is a hell of a lot more at stake here than temporary jobs. It is about energy security. This pipeline will bring down crude oil from our friendly neighbor to the north (Canada) to replace oil we now get from unfriendly places like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. The Democrats have blocked the pipeline. But they know how unpopular it is and so they will attempt to blame it on the Republicans. Nonsense. Sadly, too many Americans are not paying attention and have no idea what is going on. The quicker we can get Democrats out of power in Washington, the better of we will all be.
Kent 3 years, 8 months ago
Hank is just as intelligent as his constituents who are holding their hand out to get money from those who actually work for it. He is a servant to Obama's wishes, just like the leeches who continually put him back in office.
TOWG 3 years, 8 months ago
Hank Johnson is an embarrassment. He's no better than his predecessor, Cynthia "Cutest Little Commie in Congress" McKinney.

How do we know Canada will sell the oil to us.

In a perfect world, schools would recognize the need for events like the Day of Silence, as well as how important it is that students have the right to hold events like it. This is not always the case, and it wasn't for me.

The Carters will be showing out in Las Vegas when they hit the strip to perform.
Beyoncé's got a four-date engagement on the strip at the Wynn's Encore from July 30 to August 2. She's filling in for comedian Danny Gans, who recently passed away.
But before Bey takes the stage in Vegas, her hubby, Jay-Z, will be spiting a few bars at the Palms Resort Casino. The rapper-turned-mogul will be doing two shows at The Pearl on July 3 and July 4.
The dates are part of a mini tour of intimate performances he'll be doing while he works on his next album, The Blueprint 3.
After Vegas, it's off to Chicago's Charter One Pavilion and the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. He'll be wrapping the tour in Atlanta at the Chastain Park Amphitheatre.
Ciara will be warming up the crowd for him at certain stops on the tour.
For tickets to Jay's show check out Livenation, but if you want to see Bey, you may have to do a little digging. Neither Livenation nor Ticketmaster have the dates listed. Ticket information is available on Encore's website, though.
