Santorum's economics: A poor record
The entreaties of the desperate are getting embarrassing when it comes to Rick Santorum's doomed quest for the Republican nomination for president. One conservative commentator actually claims "the media is hiding the fact that Rick is a champion of economic freedom."
But Mr. Santorum has a poor record on economic freedom.
As the Club for Growth notes, Santorum supported the massive new Medicare drug entitlement "that now costs taxpayers over $60 billion a year and has almost $16 trillion in unfunded liabilities."
In the 2003-04 session of Congress, Santorum sponsored or co-sponsored 51 bills to raise spending but not one spending-cut proposal. In the next session of Congress, "he had one of the biggest spending agendas of any Republican," says the pro-growth group.
And Santorum was downright "duplicitous" regarding the jobs-killing minimum wage. As the Club for Growth documents, "on the same day he voted no in 2005, he sponsored an amendment that would increase the minimum wage," then boasted about it in a piece of campaign literature the next year.
"Economic freedom" through wealth redistribution and increased government spending• Better living through greater conscription of your money?
Hardly. That's a record of promotion of the dependent state.

DIMPLE is a small sticker or protective case with user-configurable buttons that you attach to the rear side of your Android NFC-enabled gadgets. Buttons can launch apps, change settings, turn on the flashlight and much, much more. You can double the button count by assigning a long-press function.
DIMPLE STANDARD & MINI PRODUCT WORKS ONLY WITH ANDROID 4.0+ NFC-ENABLED GADGETS (EXCLUDES HTC ONE M7 & M8 and other metal devices), FOR HTC ONE COMPATIBILITY, PLEASE CHOOSE THE PROTECTIVE CASE OPTION.
Attached in close proximity (even over a case) to your device's NFC reader, DIMPLE lets you extend the functionality to your own liking, from launching your favorite social network app, to launching sophisticated Tasker tasks or your own developed plugins through DIMPLE API.
"If the final product is half as good as it sounds, it's likely to be a big hit." CNET
"The DIMPLE goes above and beyond the call of duty with a set of four easy-to-install buttons that can be customized to do almost anything you want." GIZMODO
"What makes the DIMPLE stand out from solutions like Pressy is that you don't have to sacrifice anything to use it." AndroidAuthority
"These days most smartphones only have buttons for the most crucial of tasks. Some of us still prefer having hardware buttons. DIMPLE aims to fill that gap." Ubergizmo
"DIMPLE.IO is a project that is likely going to make a lot of Android users very happy, because it adds four buttons to your device that you can do whatever you want with." GEEK
You define your experience with DIMPLE, from controlling what each button will do, to its placement according to your own ergonomics. DIMPLE is designed to give you total control over its functionality and to fit your personal needs and requirements.
The "One size fits all" approach rarely truly works. We believe that everyone- from the average Joe to power users - should have the ability to customize their gadgets just the way they want them without ever picking up a drill or an axe. We approached the user experience with DIMPLE with the following principles in mind:
Customization should not be intimidating or difficult. This is why we designed DIMPLE to be quick to set up and use right out of the box. The companion app user interface is incredibly easy to understand, even though it packs a lot of advanced features. Application of DIMPLE is super easy, and you have a thingy called "training wheels" to try and feel the best location to apply the dimple. If you have ever applied a sticker without burning a house down, you will be able to apply DIMPLE. If you can use a smartphone, you can use DIMPLE.
Every human is built differently, though we still get to use the same gadgets. Heck, if you are left-handed, you probably sometimes think that the world has turned on you. No more. You can apply the DIMPLE sticker in practically unlimited positions in close proximity to the NFC antenna of your device. For most gadgets, this means all of the rear side; for tablets and phablets- just a part of the rear side. The DIMPLE offers tactile feedback- hear a "click" on every push of a button in addition to haptic feedback. Every button has a patented groove around it with a braille dimple in the middle. Your fingers will be able to distinct each button in any situation.
Functionality means different things to different people. So we did not want to design a rigid one-solution-fits-everyone product. Instead we spent many months in the dark actually developing an application that will never be finished in a sense of constant evolution. The Beta, which will suit every need of the average user, is already online. We are now working closely with numerous partners to bring a small ecosystem of third party plugins and integrations into some of the world's coolest apps when the product ships.
Don't want to write code? Create some unique Tasker tasks and tie them to our companion app.

His second startup dealing with tangible objects, loves making stuff.
ELVISS KUSTANS, Lead Software Developer
Full-blown code wizard, as well as a full-stack Android/Java engineer. Master degree in computer science. Knows how to tame a horse in Minecraft.
Proficient in everything interface, has worked on dozens upon dozens of apps, games and concepts.
GINTS LAZDINS, procurement and logistics
He pursues efficiency in every aspect of our product supply chain and plays hockey.
MARIS MILGRAVIS, video production
His firstborn son just arrived. In the meantime, he works as a freelance video producer and speaks key frames fluently.
JANIS MILZARAJS, graphic design
He is a passionate co-working movement advocate and a graphic designer with years of experience up his sleeve. Currently traveling in West Africa with a UN delegation.
In addition to our core team, we've assembled an incredible group of engineers, designers, and industry experts who are collaborating with us to create the best product possible. Our manufacturing partners include some of the biggest industry players, some of which are Fortune 500 companies. We have some people that speak legalese in our circles as well. Manufacturing deals with our partners have already been struck, and most of the logistics obstacles have been worked out.
We have been working on this product for the past 18 months and have gone through 12 iterations of prototypes. We feel like we are ready for the market with the current iteration.
We have manufactured the first mass-production test batch of 250 DIMPLE Beta units. We are trying to address some assembly scaling problems and combat some unwanted adhesive defects.
We have been working on DIMPLE for the past year and a half, and we've come a long way. Thus far we have covered our expenses by depleting our personal savings accounts and credit cards. We received a $15k grant from the municipality of Riga, LVA to cover some of the prototyping expenses, so there is a whole city of 0.7 million inhabitants that believes in us!
Manufacturing a tangible product on a large scale is just too much for a bootstrapped startup. The current cost to manufacture a single unit in small batches is astronomical. This is where you come in. Your support will allow us to buy components in bulk, as well as initiate tooling and mass production so we can bring DIMPLE to you and millions of people who believe that buttons rock. Let's make our gadgets personal again; together, we can do it!
So why should you support us?
- Be the first to get one (literally)
- You believe that real buttons rock
- You never had dimples
- You want to belong to an exclusive clique
Will it work with my device?
Based on our approximations there are currently around 800 devices with which the DIMPLE will work. This sadly excludes HTC One (M7 & M8) because of its metal body. Creating a device out of metal usually requires the engineers to make some sacrifices in terms of antenna location and affects our customers' ability to position DIMPLE ergonomically on a HTC One. So, if your device runs Android 4.0 and above, is not made out of metal, and has NFC technology, you are safe to assume that DIMPLE will work with it.
No HTC One?
Designing a metal body forces engineers to get creative. The result of this creativity is that the NFC antenna is located around the camera ring. You would have to sacrifice the camera to make the DIMPLE work. No cases or covers will solve this.
Can it be reused?
Even though the adhesive used allows for easy removal, each time you remove a DIMPLE from your device's surface, the adhesive properties will deteriorate and that may compromise the longevity of the DIMPLE. You should be fine for at least 5-10 attachments and removals. After that, the DIMPLE may not stick to the surface as well as when it was new. We are exploring options to use adhesive that can be reused as many times as you want, without compromising the thinness of DIMPLE.
Where can I put it?
In close proximity to the NFC antenna of the device. For most gadgets, it means the rear side of the device. For tablets, it means a part of the rear side.
The only gadget we have yet found to play well with DIMPLE on the front is the Sony Z2 Tablet.
The maximum range (like a really thick case) of how far you can locate the DIMPLE from the reader antenna is around 5 cm (2 in).
How about battery life?
Latest generation NFC reader chips embedded in our gadgets will consume little to no noticeable amounts of your device's battery life. Keeping NFC on should not take away more than 5 minutes of your daily battery life.
How big is it?
49 x 16 x 0.49 mm or 1.92 x 0.66 x 0.019 inches.
Can I use other NFC devices with DIMPLE on my device?
Will it work with the screen off?
Currently, due to security concerns, this functionality is disabled in stock Android. We are working closely with the Google Android team to find a way to bring this to the next versions of the operating system. For the time being, you have to root your device and install the xposed framework.
Will it work with my case?
DIMPLE can be attached directly to your case instead of to the surface of your device. Unless the case is made out of metal, you should be fine.
How about accidental triggering?
We have engineered the buttons impossible to be pressed unintentionally. The buttons are flush with the surface of the DIMPLE.
How long will it last?
If you applied the DIMPLE carefully, the adhesive should outlast your gadget upgrade cycle. Our tests have concluded that each button can withstand about 2 million clicks, and you can reassign the functionality of around 100,000 times before the button memory wears out.
Are you sure that you can pull this off?
Our team currently consists of 4 full-time people, and each of us has previous experience working in a hardware startup with expertise ranging from electrical engineering and logistics to marketing strategies and intellectual property. We have already manufactured a small test batch of 250 DIMPLEs that should be 99% of what the final product will be. Manufacturing agreements with our partners have already been made, and we should be up and manufacturing approximately a week after our crowdfunding campaign ends and we have surveyed our backers.
How about other platforms, like Windows Mobile?
We are currently exploring the options of other platforms. Stay tuned.
Can I use it for gaming?
To some extent- yes. Depends on the games. Mostly: no. Due to the construction of this version of the DIMPLE, it cannot accept multiple button presses at the same time. You will have to wait until the Christmas 2014 to get a DIMPLE v2 which will support gaming.

Economist Touts Value of Preschool Education
Byline: Anne Williams The Register-Guard
A 34-year-old Minnesota economist with no children of his own may seem a dubious choice for keynote speaker for a presentation by Success By 6, a United Way of Lane County initiative focused on early childhood programs.
But over the past two years, Rob Grunewald has been a familiar face at similar gatherings across the country, thanks to his co-authorship of an influential 2003 paper making the case that an investment in early childhood education yields a high return on public and private dollars.
On Tuesday, Grunewald addressed an overwhelmingly receptive audience of about 150 educators, health care professionals, social service providers, policy-makers and others at a Success By 6 breakfast program, the initiative's first meeting in three years.
Most people in the room probably were already familiar with the educational and social benefits linked to high-quality preschool programs, especially for at-risk children. Most probably were aware of brain research that underscores the critical window of opportunity in children from infancy through age 5.
But Grunewald is part of a growing chorus of economists and business leaders who are convinced that strong early childhood and parent education programs are a sounder investment than just about any other economic development initiative - even though the payoff may be a long time coming.
"In early childhood, the results are a little less tangible" than, say, an office tower that's created 1,000 new jobs, he said. But still, he added, there's ample evidence to suggest that early childhood programs are "clearly the better public buy."
Grunewald cited three studies that tracked low-income children who attended high-quality preschool programs, and another that followed children involved in a New York prenatal/early infancy program with a strong parental education component.
In all of them, the children involved in the programs fared significantly better than nonparticipants on numerous indicators, such as high-school completion, grade retention, childhood emergency room visits, college attendance, number of arrests and length of jail time, time spent on welfare, and amount of earnings in adulthood.
One was the High/Scope Perry Preschool study in Ypsilanti, Mich., which tracked the progress through adulthood of 123 children from low-income black families, approximately half of whom completed a high-quality preschool program and received weekly home visits and half of whom did not. Those who completed the program were significantly less likely to be placed in special education programs, more likely to graduate from high school and less likely to be arrested, the study found.
Cost-benefit analyses of all the studies have found that, for each dollar spent on the program, the public return down the road was anywhere from $4 to $17, Grunewald said. …

We may have awhile before Greek returns (March 30), but we got the scoop on some upcoming plot lines for the great ABC Family drama courtesy of E! Online.
First off, Rusty is going to meet a new girl Jordan that he falls head over heels for... literally! Rusty is going to take a spill down some stairs! However, it won't be the stairs that hurt him most. How about the fact that when Jesse McCartney's character, Andy, gets Jordan first!
Also, Greek is going to have even more homosexual plotlines this year. It looks like both Rebecca and Ashleigh will be kissing girls this season... and both like it! One of them even goes for another ZBZ sister.

Working Mothers in Germany
Why the Working Mother Is So Rare in Germany
Germany strikes me as a modern country with progressive attitudes towards the environment and sexuality, so I was shocked to read working mothers are still a rare breed. Why so scarce? The country's half-day school system makes women feel they must choose between careers and kids.
Now more and more schools are beginning to offer after-school programs and all-day classes, but women who have signed up their kids have been criticized, even ostracized, for the choice. One woman was yelled at by another mother while another was called Rabenmutter (raven mother) after the black bird who pushes her chicks out of the nest. If you can't take care of your children, the thinking goes, you shouldn't have them.
It sounds archaic and crazy, but it quickly made sense when I learned this: all-day school and daycare are synonymous with communism. When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, the female employment rate was 90 percent in East Germany and 55 percent in the West. Women were expected to work, sometimes physically demanding jobs, in the East and often put their children in daycare as early as possible.
But in a country with one of the lowest birth rates — 1.38 children per woman — and a labor shortage looming, Germans are starting to come around. A few years ago, all-day school was impossible to talk about and now it's just a matter of implementing well. "This is a taboo," said German labor minister Ursula von der Leyen, "we just can't afford anymore."

It's a must for expectant moms to take care of their bodies, as whatever affects them physically also affects the children they carry. This is what a study on MedicalNewsToday.com has expounded on, sharing that illnesses that we sometimes take for granted may cause mental conditions such as autism in our unborn child.
Researchers from the University of Aarhus, Denmark analyzed data from 96,736 children born from 1997 to 2003. Their mothers were asked about their physical constitution during pregnancy, and whether or not they have had any illnesses or have taken any antibiotics. They found that:
However, colds, sinus infections, respiratory infections, urinary tract infections, and genital infections were found to have no autism-related effects to babies.
This doesn't mean that pregnant women should panic, but it's important to be more aware and careful. If you're expecting, eat properly, sleep well, and always follow your gynecologist's advice. Need a bit of female support? Chat up our GIRLtalk regulars and learn through their experiences.

Two newb questions in one day. I'm on a roll. I realize that this might seem absurd at seven months, but I would like advice on how to get DS to start napping in the pack n play. We cosleep. He started off in an arm's reach cosleeper, and we decided we would wait to buy a crib. Now we are having financial difficulties, and he obviously outgrew the cosleeper. I used to surround him with pillows on the bed or on the floor, but now that he is so mobile those are not options. I've been laying with him for all naps and going to bed when he does, and I would prefer to have that time back for myself, as selfish as that sounds.
We borrowed my mil's pack n play for now. The first night, I nursed him to sleep, and then when he was limp moved him to it. He flipped over on to his stomach and slept soundly until his 2am feeding, when I brought him to bed. Easy peasy. Ever since that night though, he instantly wakes up and starts screaming. I don't do CIO. Last night I waited until he was limp, picked him up and rocked him for a while, rocked him as I lowered him down, but he still woke as soon as he hit the bottom.
I've been chicken about attempting naps, but I have a feeling we need to start there. It's just that if he wakes up from a nap, he's done. Help!

Their new organization has designed a system, called DMARC, for authenticating emails from legitimate senders and weeding out fakes.
NEW YORK — Google, Microsoft, Facebook and other big tech companies are jointly designing a system to combat email scams known as phishing.
Such scams try to trick people into giving away passwords and other personal information by sending emails that look as if they come from a legitimate bank, retailer or other business.
When Bank of America customers see emails that appear to come from the bank, they might click on a link that takes them to a fake site mimicking the real Bank of America's. There, they might enter personal details, which scam artists can capture and use for fraud.

To combat that, 15 major technology and financial companies have formed an organization to design a system for authenticating emails from legitimate senders and weeding out fakes. The new system is called DMARC — short for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance.
It builds upon existing techniques designed to verify that an email actually came from the sender in question. The problem is there are multiple approaches and no standard way of dealing with emails believed to be fake.
The new system addresses that by asking email senders and the companies that provide email services to share information about the messages they send and receive.
In addition to authenticating their legitimate emails using the existing systems, companies can receive alerts from email providers every time their domain name is used in a fake message. They can then ask the email providers to move such messages to spam folders or block them outright.
According to Google, about 15 percent of non-spam messages in Gmail come from domains protected by DMARC. This means Gmail users "don't need to worry about spoofed messages from these senders," Adam Dawes, a product manager at Google, said in a blog post.
"With DMARC, large email senders can ensure that the email they send is being recognized by mail providers like Gmail as legitimate, as well as set policies so that mail providers can reject messages that try to spoof the senders' addresses," Dawes wrote.
Work on DMARC started about 18 months ago. Now other companies can sign up with the organization, whether they send emails or provide email services.
For email users, the group hopes DMARC will mean fewer fraudulent messages and scams reaching inboxes.
The group's founders are email providers Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL and Google; financial-service providers Bank of America, Fidelity Investments and PayPal; online service companies Facebook, LinkedIn and American Greetings; and security companies Agari, Cloudmark, eCert, Return Path and the Trusted Domain Project.
Google uses it already, both in its email-sender and email-provider capacities.
The heft of the companies that already have signed on to the project certainly helps, and its founders hope it will be more broadly adopted to become an industry standard.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has published a report that look at some of the shortcomings of digital rights management (DRM) schemes, which are used to sell music online by companies such as Apple. According to the advocacy group, online stores like iTunes actually give music buyers less for their money than traditional CDs. For example, if music owners want to make more copies of an album (for personal) use than the DRM allows, they may have to turn to various "hacks." Unfortunately, "breaking the DRM or distributing the tools to break DRM may expose you to liability under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) even if you're not making any illegal uses." The article also points out that Apple reserves the right to change at any time what users can do with the music they purchase at the iTunes Music Store. In April 2004, Apple decided to "modify the DRM so people could burn the same playlist only 7 times, down from 10."

Verizon Wireless will reportedly start selling three mobile phones capable of playing digital music next week. The phones from Motorola, UTStarcom, and LG Electronics will have detachable storage that allows users to download music from computers, according to the report from Reuters.

This week Apple' CEO Steve Jobs seized the 26th spot on FastCompany Magazine's list of greatest business leaders of the 20th century, based on a survey of 7,000 executives by Harvard Business School. In light of recent video iPod rumors, one columnist at TheStreet.com predicts that the market isn't ready for the devices, and that Apple is wise to postpone the device, as it did with the iPod. On Monday, Apple released updated versions of its Safari Web browser for both Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) and Panther (10.3), improving website compatibility and application stability. Tuesday Apple started a new promotion enabling customers to "test drive" the Mac mini for 30 days with no risk, and cancelled the promotion less than 24 hours later for undisclosed reasons.

A BusinessWeek report looks at the evolution of Napster from a illegal peer-to-peer music service in 1999 to a legimate music service that aims to compete with industry leader iTunes. "Napster is back. And it's hungry for a bite of Apple. In little over a year, the music sharing application has resurfaced to become iTunes' closest contender for the music download crown. But there's a twist in this cat's tale. Napster was bought back to life-from a bankruptcy auction." After transforming itself into a subscription-based music service, the report concludes "the legitimate music download market seems to be a two horse race between iTunes and Napster, with Apple enjoying the greater lead by far."

Contour Design this week introduced the MiniPRO 2, the next evolution in travel mouse technology. Upgraded to an ultra-accurate 800 DPI, the MiniPRO 2's new optical sensor provides cursor control twice as precise as the original MiniPRO. Incorporating the revolutionary "Lift & Click" technology, just a small tilt of the mouse turns it instantly and effectively into a four button mouse. The lifting/tilt switches the mouse buttons' primary functions to their secondary settings. All four buttons of the MiniPRO 2 come optimized for use with Mac OS X's Expose and Dashboard and can be programmed by each user to suit their individual needs. The compact device ships with a protective Pack-N-Go case and also features a molded rubber coating for superior grip. It is available now for $33 (�17 in the UK and �25 in Europe).
Griffin Technology announced Friday redesigned version of its iTrip FM transmitter for the iPod. The new version adds a backlit LCD display, a dial to adjust broadcast frequency, and selectable LX or DX modes. According to the accessory maker, the DX mode delivers a noise level "below that of a cassette tape adapter, allowing the music to punch through cleanly." Additionally, the new device allows users to choose between "US" or "International" modes. International mode enables users to select all available frequencies, rather than the standard United States frequency set. A new auto-volume feature helps prevent distortion by adjusting the volume accordingly. The iTrip is immediately available for $50.
The Taiwanese company that manufacturers much of Apple's iPod supply said its revenue more than doubled in the first half of this year, according to Infoworld. Revenue rose to NT$47.9 billion (US$1.47 billion) during the six-month period ending June 30, from NT$22.3 billion during the same time last year. Inventec Appliances' net income rose to NT$1.4 billion (US$42.9 million) from NT$913 million. "About 80 percent to 90 percent of first-half sales were in contract manufacturing," said a company representative. The company's revenue increased largely thanks to growing iPod sales, said Frank Lee, an industry analyst at Deutsche Bank in Taipei.

If you're reading this, the world didn't end on Dec. 21, 2012, the date of the prophesied Mayan apocalypse. Nice one! But let's not start cheesing our victory nachos just yet.
Can a pure chick flick become a hit? Yes, if it draws a diverse enough swath of female moviegoers. For "Sex and the City," that will be the big question.
It's funny how hesitant I am to write this review. I'm acting like a poor review in the Juneau Empire will permanently hurt Harrison Ford's feelings.
When Harrison Ford attended Wisconsin's Ripon College, he drifted over to the theater department from the philosophy department and stuffed a pillow under his shirt to play Mr. Antrobus in Thornton Wilder's "The Skin of Our Teeth," a wartime fantasy about struggle and survival. He also sang and danced a bit in "The Fantasticks" and played Mack the Knife in "The Threepenny Opera." His summer stock credits included "The Night of the Iguana" and "Damn Yankees."

For Like minded people who like to see-
The Queensland Country Life today carried a story entitled "WWF sinks hooks deeper into beef industry" by Brad Cooper which makes it beyond doubt that WWF is to project manage beef sustainability courses at the behest of Mc Donalds and with the full co-operation of CCA and MLA.
WWF, through their influence with the Greens in Queensland have been responsible for Vegetation Management laws implemented without 'just terms' and with no carbon credit for avoided deforestation. Those were stolen by the government to meet its Kyoto commitments.
An early task force reviewing damage to the Great Barrier Reef wanted to say that the reef was in good shape. However they bowed to the protests of the WWF representative and highlighted the small areas that appeared slightly damaged. WWF have claimed ever since that farming and grazing are damaging the reef in spite of lack of research and knowledge that urban centres are actually causing more alleged pollution.
All green groups have been involved in Wild Rivers legislations and declarations and possible World Heritage listing claiming on the one hand that the areas are either pristine or retaining most of their natural values and on the other denigrating the cattlemen who have lived there for more than 100 years for degrading the landscape and it therefore needs protection.
This legislation has put those graziers in a time warp whose effects will not be felt immediately but over time as it becomes impossible to adopt the results of modern research they will start to bite. One of the great lies told is that declaration will protect the areas from mining and CSG exploitation.
The greatest harm of all has been to our reputation, our self esteem and sense of worth that comes from knowing that you are doing a worthwhile job-feeding the people of the world.
WWF and others have taken the flawed findings of 'Livestock's Long Shadow" and publicised them to the point where vegetarian celebrities, authors, journalists, governments and research organisations including our own National Health and Medical Research Council have urged limited or zero meat intake on environmental grounds.
The upshot is that our credentials have been damaged as part of a campaign by environmentalists to discredit those of us who live by the land in order to set themselves up as the environmental gods and the only people deserving of dictating policy and receiving funding and even big business has fallen for the scam.
Be aware that when you respond to that beautifully worded invitation to an Ausgraze workshop your presenter will be in the employ of WWF and the "voluntary" course will soon become mandatory.
Have CCA and MLA let us down once again by not highlighting the science that is on our side instead of responding to the dark green Mob.

No Ignorance at all.
He is on his own personnel crusade to fulfil his vision, looks just like the U.N/George Soros's Agenda 21 one. He will mould & shape Australia until it fits this vision. No Government or Minister is allowed to stand in his way IMO.
He has been lobbying for the ETS/C02 tax & Environmental lockup of land & water for a very long time. I don't think people or there property rate in his vision for Australia it's all "The Commons".
His army has grown considerably since 2007 & his comment on War would be 100%.
The States need to Stand there ground at COAG & be prepared to fight now!
Joanne Rea said:
That just makes his stance even worse. He should know better.
He can't even plead ignorance.
Whether you love him, hate him or just watch him......Clive Palmer is no dummy. I for one got a laugh from his apparent ability to suck the "prune- faced" media into his CIA / Green scenario.
Part of the ability to suceed in business is the culture of "risk taking". I would say the ability to laugh at ones mistakes and try again and again and again is also a helpful trait for success.
Watching this Clive initiated comedy I have wondered two things:
1. Do the Greens fear a mining/farmer alliance above all other threats? Would Drew & co. engagement on the CSG issues be, amongst other considerations, pre-empting such alliances from being considered in any mining situation? If those sorts of alliances were formed, even on selected issues, they would be very powerful.
2. Would there be any primary producers willing to band together and threaten to sue WWF for the continual, apparently unscientific, claims of damage to the GBR? Any risk takers out there?
I also take heart after the Qld election result that any supposed growth in a green army is only an illusion created by active on line presence eg Getup and a compliant media. In Qld the sleeping majority have spoken and the green vote went down slightly.
You have made quite a few very strong points here in a relatively small package.
WWF stands accused in literally dozens of places in the world of having indigenous people removed from their traditional forest homelands and "resettled" in shanty towns with poor sanitation and poor food so that national parks and game parks can be established.
Wikipedia has "Friends of People Close to Nature" (FPCN) as an NGO human rights organisation that works in the field of indigenous rights.
FPCN is scathing of WWF's involvement, among other projects, in forestry projects in PNG which locals claim have achieved nothing. The locals claim that all progress was made by local conservation groups with WWF taking the credit or WWF claiming credit for areas that were protected by their inaccessibility. The Dutch government has withdrawn funding for this project. AUS-AID was a co-funder.
In Africa, Pakistan, South America, Indonesia, Russia, PNG and West Papua similar stories abound.
The anonymity of many of the sources testifies to the fear that many communities have of the ENGO's.
Locals are also suitably scathing of the spin put on the success of the programmes for the multitude of web sites run by WWF.
Hi Joanne,
A book and an author you won't see on the shelves of your book supplier:
Eco - Imperialism, Green Power - Black Death
by Paul Driessen
And this one, I have a link on my toolbar to:
When you hear the wildlife TV program talking about Maasai Mara game reserve, think about the displaced Maasai people and their semi - nomadic life.
These links are destined to be quoted from but not tonight. Thank you for putting them up.
The evidence against people playing God is mounting and the evixdence against organisations who think they know better than those who live there is mounting.
Some of these people have lived sustainably for thousands of years.
dont have a tv but I hear a commercial channel ran a freebie Pr spin for maccas last night?
seems if maccas want to sell beef, they can make it pretty and say theyre ok..
while managing to imply? no one else is as caring etc.
scuse me while I go heave.
its Greenwashing for profit.
same as the heart ticks go to companies that PAY for support advertising- to get it.
its all a green con and WWF and the rest suck bigtime.
onder how many of you beef producers need to pull OUT of the MLA etc to send em broke?
they crap on you, give it back.
its your money thats keeping the leeches fat.
That's a ripper Col.
Hello Laurel- good to hear from you again. You are as sharp and clear sighted as ever.
The last two lines sums up what I am trying to achieve
I heard about the free Maccas ad.
At the moment they are trying to drag cattle producers into a partnership with an organisation which works outside parameters which we find acceptable so that they can market their product as more green.
It is about moral boundaries. Something even our Prime Minister doesn't seem to know about.
Most of us have to abide by laws and pay our taxes and multinational companies have constraints put on them by corporations law, ASX rules and the ACCC.
The ENGO's have few constraints (they certainly arn't constrained from fudging science and using it selectively) and get favourable tax treatment.
As for the MLA, the fifty largest producers can run the show on their own. This year MLA met with 30 of the 50 largest producers before the MLA AGM to head off what looked like some disatisfaction in the ranks. They got it all sorted without reference to we plebs who just pay a small amount of levy which is deducted by law from our sale cheques before we get them.
The actual AGM is only a formality with many of the big players not bothering to attend and it is mostly a showcase for their achievements.
The much vaunted "producer forum" actually only had about 45 mins. of about 3-4 hours when producers were able to speak and one is told often that a topic is outside their charter.
The MSA is for Meat Standards Australia which means that it has been graded to eat well. Where I live not many butchers carry MSA because it is too expensive for a town that lives on a low budget.
There is a con in that for the farmers as well.
You have to apply to be an MSA producer (not too difficult if you are computer literate). Then you have to fill out an online form when the cattle are loaded on the truck which you only have one go at (more difficult with drivers anxious to get away). There is a premium if you grade.
Then you can get back a grading sheet which says "passed MSA grading-failed company grading" and therefore no premium.
Ian Macrae Yeates said:
In the Woolworths catalogue there are white ticks on a red circle for Borg's cocktail pastizzi also On the menu meals Angus roast Beef, Woolworths beef MSA certified MSA eg beef porterhouse steak $21.98 kg (kangaroo in triangle Australian grown).
You are corrrect on all counts but evidence of lying or corruption seems to make a case fall in all endeavours except the environment and environmental law.
From what I have been reading lately you trying to bring the plight of the Soloman Island people to the attention of WWF for help would be destined to fail.
They have been the agent for the displacement of Indigenoud people all over the world in the name of conservation. Gorillas are more important than the people who have lived with them for thousands of years.
Some commentators put the number of "conservation refugees" at 14 million as opposed to "ecological refugees" who have bee displaced by drought or other extreme event.
All the large conservation organisations now own and manage so much property across the globe that they must count among the largest landowners and managers in the world and in Australia they are buying property with Federal and State government money.
With the help of the media that we do have on side (not the ABC) they will be "nailed to the wall".
John C Fairfax said:
Brad Coopers refers to a "fundamental breach of trust".
Surely those breaching trust can be nailed out and dried for all to see.
WWF could be nailed by qenuine rural interest media with one or two short questions.
What evidence does WWF have to justify claim that 90% of pollution damaging the GBR is from farmers?
What section of ABC Charter provides for broadcast of unsubstantiated news that breaches trust between public media and taxpayers, news such as pointing the finger at farmers and/or agriculture for 90% of pollution damaging the World Heritage GBR?
Short questions of substance about subject of general public interest and concern are hard to establish.
WWF are using subject of general public interest, coral and animals, to which they attach fabricated spin. The spin is breaching trust, trust used to collect donations and to put politicians and company boards in their pockets.
In a Court of Law if a witness is caught out with spin or a lie, all credibility is lost.
Meanwhile real cause/s of damage to the GBR and even the Coral Sea is continuing and worsening, compounding, because real causes and solutions are not being duly addressed.
If the WWF is not confronted in this battle it will be innocent farmers wearing the shackles and damage to the GBR and world food sustainability will continue to rapidly worsen as evidence indicates.

Tom Brady still makes it to work and later is said to reach terms with the team on a $19 million-per-season, four-year contract.
The words are somewhat haunting now.
"I don't assume anything anymore in life," Tom Brady said. "I don't think anything is guaranteed to us beyond what we have today and I really feel that way. That's the approach I've taken over the years because you never really know when your last day will be.
"I really try to just take it one day at a time. I know it's a cliché and all that, but it's the truth. I think it's a great message for all of us. No matter what your job, you're living and enjoying today, and that's what's most important to me."
The words were uttered by the veteran quarterback as he addressed his future with the New England Patriots in the team's locker room at Gillette Stadium late Wednesday morning.
Nineteen hours later, while driving to work from his residence in Boston's Back Bay at 6:34 a.m., Brady was involved in a two-car accident at Commonwealth Avenue and Gloucester Street in that city.
Brady walked away from the accident and took part in the team's walkthrough at 10:45 a.m. and practice at 1 p.m.
By Thursday night, Brady, who is about to enter the final season of the six-year deal he signed in 2005, had reportedly come to terms on a new four-year contract.
During halftime of the Minnesota Vikings-New Orleans Saints season-opening telecast on NBC, Peter King reported that Patriots owner Robert Kraft had informed him of the agreement. The contract will reportedly pay Brady $19 million per season.
Earlier in the day, players were told of Brady's mishap by Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, who informed them that their teammate might be running a little late.
By midday on Thursday, Patriots players were taking the "nothing to see here" approach.
"He gave us the word. Tom's here. We're ready to go," tight end Alge Crumpler said, summarizing the morning's events during the media access period at Gillette.
"I saw him walking in here," said outside linebacker Tully Banta-Cain. "He had a smile on his face. No abrasions. So I think he's fine. That was my first reaction."
The media reacted, too.
This was not your typical September day at Gillette.
By late Thursday morning, eight television satellite trucks were perched in the parking lot at Patriot Place. When practice began at 1, a Channel 7 helicopter hovered overhead.
"You guys are building it up a little bit more than it probably is," center Dan Koppen said during the media access period at Gillette, which took place shortly before the helicopter appeared in the Foxboro sky, "but really, just for everybody that's involved, everybody here is just concerned that everybody made it out OK."
Page 2 of 2 - "Obviously, it's a shock no matter who it is," tight end Rob Gronkowski said. "If it's your family, if it's your friend, if it's a teammate, if it's a coach, you're always shocked. You never want to hear information like that, but we're all thankful that everyone's all right, no one got hurt, and that he's here."
With that, preparations continued for Sunday's regular-season opener with the Cincinnati Bengals at Gillette.
"We're all preparing like we have been all week," said Gronkowski. "He's fine, which we're all thankful for.
"We're all glad nothing has happened. He's back here already. Everything's going well. We're just preparing like we have been all week."

From 1994 to 1998, staff at the Ambulatory Surgery Access Coalition implemented a program called Operation Access to increase access to ambulatory surgery services for medically indigent patients in San Francisco.
The coalition is a private, nonprofit corporation that seeks to deliver ambulatory surgical care at no cost to medically uninsured, low-income individuals in San Francisco, using the donated services of surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses and technicians on staff at area hospitals.
The project was part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Reach Out: Physicians' Initiative to Expand Care to Underserved Americans national program.
