I have the same issue. My automatic downloads for music only is on on both my iPad and iPhone with the latest software with the same Apple ID. If I purchase a song on my Apple TV iTunes Radio it does not download to my other devices or even Mac. If I go to iTunes on my Mac and check for available downloads there is nothing to download.
I have to manually go to the song and download the songs from the cloud and it does not move it to my Purchased playlist.

Same issue for me. Does not show up on computer when I "Check for Available Downloads." I had to search for the song in the store and try to purchase it again - then it says "You have already purchased this song" and gives me a button to download it to that device.
This is really pretty screwy - I want Apple Radio for that very reason - so I could purchase a song in the Tunes Store as I listened. At this rate, I may go back to Pandora.

OK, I seem to have solved this after working through a few related support articles. Here's what I did:
1. I searched for the missing song track using the instructions in Apple support article (TS1408) via the Finder and could not find it, either in my properly located (and full) iTunes Media folder, or anywhere else on my hard drive (I did a global search as well).
2. I then proceeded to a second article about re-downloading purchased content (HT2519). At Step 4 (in the section for iTunes 11 or later) it says to be sure you have "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases" selected in the iTunes>Store Preferences pane. I checked there and I did not have it selected on either of my two computers (for good reason since I have never done any such Cloud purchases before). Anyway, as soon as I selected that and closed the Preferences pane my iTunes library window updated itself automatically and there was the song in question with an iCloud symbol beside it. I clicked on the song and it began to play, presumably from the Cloud. I then clicked the cloud symbol next to the track and iTunes quickly downloaded the song into my library on my desktop iMac. I took the same steps on my second Mac computer with the same successful results. There was no additional charge for the downloads, as I had already bought it via my Apple TV.
I have not attempted to duplicate this yet since I have had no need to buy another song via iTUnes Radio on my Apple TV. But it did fix the problem I had at the start of this thread. Appreciate any feedback from others if they try this.

'Supalife Dynamite: Dirty South Vol 2' from DJ Khalid and Supalife Records brings you TEN deeply dark and dirty essential Construction Kits designed to give your Dirty South and Hip Hop productions all of the elements you need to create hot, club-smashing hits.
These multi-format Kits are recorded at 80 BPM, include MIDI for all melodic parts and are Royalty-Free, ready to drop into your productions.
Mix and match these kits in any number of ways to create pumping, body-grinding, memorable productions. All of the instrumentation you'd expect to find in Dirty South dance floor fillers is here, including:
• Bass lines
• Drum and percussion loops
• Piano/keyboard phrases
• Synth and pad loops
• Strings
• Brass
'Supalife Dynamite: Dirty South Vol 2' serves up some of the highest quality urban material ever assembled and, as you've come to expect from Producer Loops' products, wet and dry loops and MIDI files are provided for ultimate flexibility.
These kits are phat, fresh-sounding, and raw in the inimitable style of internationally renowned artist and DJ, Khalid Filali (aka DJ Khalid) and professionally arranged, mixed and mastered by Supalife's Eddy Beneteau.
About the Producer:
DJ Khalid has taken the urban world by storm over recent years, with numerous appearances alongside famous DJs and international acts, including Kid Koala, DJ Vadim, The Herbaliser, DJ Hype, Coldcut, Gonzales and Amon Tobin.
Among his many accolades, DJ Khalid was awarded 8th place in the DMC World Championships in London in 2000, and more recently, his track "H-Kayne" is included in the Hollywood movie "Body of Lies" which features Leonardo Dicaprio (2007).
Widely regarded as one of the most talented scratchers of his generation, Khalid has produced countless tracks and even commercial campaigns for multi-national giants, including Danone and Coca-Cola.
He is currently working alongside world-famous New York group "De La Soul" on a brand new album scheduled for release in early 2012.
DJ Khalid & Supalife Records:
Khalid's latest endeavours include a collaboration with Supalife Records to produce a stunning collection of urban sample packs exclusively for the "Producer Loops" label, so you can expect to see a whole lot more ultra high-quality Dirty South beats here in the near future.
Key and Tempo Tagging:
As with all Producer Loops products, the files in this pack include tempo and key information in the filename (as well as embedded within the format) so you can see them at a glance. This is very useful for fast integration with your existing projects.
About MIDI Files:
For producers demanding MIDI loops, we've got you covered! 'Supalife Dynamite: Dirty South Vol 2' includes 324 MIDI files (across all kits) that will give you access to the raw musical data, allowing you to assign your favourite drum and synth sounds to them.
Release Loops:
Certain loops include 'Release' or 'Unlooped' versions of the loops, allowing you to end a sustained or heavily effected musical phrases with ease. Dry versions are also provided so you can add your own FX, as required.
One-Shot Samples:
Over 150 outstanding one-shot samples are included (across all five kits) featuring both drum and synth samples, allowing you to create your own sampler patches to use alongside the included musical content. Ranging from drums to pads, basses and lead sounds, you'll find plenty here to augment this stunning set of Construction Kits.
All the loops and samples in this pack are licensed to you, for use within both personal and commercial compositions at no extra cost, with no exceptions.
|Author: Computer Music, September 2012
Ten 80 BPM Construction Kits from DJ Khalid and Supalife Records, comprising dry, wet and 'unlooped' riffs with tails, accompanied by numerous single hits and melodic MIDI files. Stylistically, it's laid-back instrumental Hip Hop with all of the larger-than-life, glossy phatness that we've come to associate with the Supalife label. If you liked 'Vol 1', you'll no doubt like 'Vol 2'; and if you're new to the series, you'll find a lot of usable Urban material here. Score 8/10.

Love the fact that salmon is the first ingredient
posted 7 years ago
This is one of the foods that I feed to my giant breed puppies. Most foods, even some adult foods, are too high in protien and fat for them. And many of the ones that are not have cheap, gross fillers.
This product does not. Many people have commented on how healthy my dogs look and how shiny their coats are.
I feed them 1/2 this and 1/4 Blue Buffalo Life Protection Weight Control Chicken & Brown Rice Recipe and 1/4 Nature's Best Lamb & Brown Rice Dinner Adult Small Bites.
Pros: No Corn, Chicken, or by-products
Cons: A bit expensive

Sigh. My poor little guy has been getting ear/sinus infections since March. Or he has just had the same one since then. He has been on numerous rounds of antibiotics. Ive taken him to the chiropractor (which he loves), used saline nose spray, ear drops, ear oils, elevated his crib, used vaporizers, eliminated dairy...you name it, we've tried it. He has an appointment with an ENT this Thursday and I am guessing he will recommend tubes. I hate to have to put him under for a surgery, but I know it will make him feel better in the long run.
Anyhow, just wanted to hear anyone else's experiences. What should we expect?

This product felt nice on my skin and had a good scent, but I broke out in a rash about a day after I started using it. My skin started to look very blotchy, and then I felt little bumps everywhere. It's probably just a bit too strong for my skin. Back to my old faithful Dove Sensitive Skin lotion.

I have been using this moisteriser on and off for about six years. I always go back to it after trying other brands. Something about the thick, buttery texture that feels really great on my face. My face seems to wake up, after I apply it, and it smells and feels natural. I will probably always use it, I can't find anything better to replace it, and my face likes it. I have normal/oily skin, late 30's.

A coworker who looks way too young for her age recommended this to me. I've been using it ever since, and can't believe how effective it is. My skin looks plumper and clearer and smoother, like a baby's. I've given it to a few friends who were skeptical of something from "the health food store" and so far all of them have raved about it. This is definitely one of those best kept secrets that needs to get out.

I was pleasantly surprised by this facial moisturizer, since I haven't had good luck with any of Jason's hair products. This is a thick moisturizer, like an eye creme, that is supposed to have antioxidant properties. I like it because it makes my skin feel VERY perky and lifted. I don't know if this will be my permanent eye cream but I'll definitely use up the jar.

District residents have approved $26 million in capital improvement projects throughout the Baldwinsville school district.
The vote took place yesterday with 897 residents in favor and 652 against.
Project design will begin in the spring with construction expected to begin in June 2010.
Security, safety, system and technology upgrades take up much of the approved budget with half of the funds going to Baker High School. Upgrades at the Pelcher-Acardo Stadium will benefit the people using it for a variety of activities.
Most of the funding is expected to come from the state: $21.1 million from annual building construction and improvement aid and $1.9 million from a one-time "EXCEL aid" fund. The remainder of the project will be paid for with $3 million from the district's capital reserve. Bonds may be issued.
The school board has said that no increase in local taxes will be required. However, should the state reduce the amount of aid after the project is underway, the school board stated they would "re-evaluate the components of the project that would need to be eliminated or reduced in order to avoid the tax increase."
These capital improvements were part of an October 2007 proposal that was defeated by voters.
"From the survey we did [after residents voted against the October 2007 vote], one of the reasons for the defeat was that it was coupled with the proposed artificial turf at the Pelcher-Acaro field. This is no longer in the budget," said Michael Shusda, assistant superintendent for management services at Baldwinsville Central schools.
This revised project takes into account three priorities residents indicated in the survey: improving the delivery of educational services, improving the safety of facilities and limiting the tax dollar increase.
Here are some highlights, building-by-building:
Baker High School - $13,463,000 estimated cost
- Replace portion of heat system and controls, air supply fans, emergency power generator, main electrical transformers and switch, science fume hoods, curtain wall/doors at entrance near small gym, original curtain wall/doors, main entrance with a lobby addition for security purposes and due to system deterioration, gym roof, gym bleachers and folding partition

What Would it be Like if Mega Man Had a Portal Gun?
This video shows us what we'll never get to play for real.
Capcom doesn't seem to have much love for Mega Man these days, having canceled Mega Man Universe and Legends 3 so far this year. That doesn't mean the fans love Mega Man any less, and it makes it no less intriguing when you see a video of Mega Man carrying around a portal gun.
That's the sort of world depicted in the video above, as Dorkly (via Joystiq) has decided to show us what it would be like if Mega Man started using an Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. To be fair, you could drop the gun from Portal into just about any game and it would be cool. But outside of maybe Mirror's Edge and a few others, I can't think of many games I'd prefer to see this happen with.
It's a marriage we'll never see, sure, but it makes it no less cool. Hopefully a modder somewhere sees the idea and runs with it, as Capcom doesn't seem to have any plans to keep Mega Man fans occupied (in a positive fashion) in the near future.

?? Indian innovation attacks the corruption problem |
| Surprising findings on off-shoring ??
February 28, 2007
A new business model for China off-shoring
Steve Hamm
People have been talking up China as an IT off-shoring location for years, but, so far, not much has happened. I'm not sure why. The shortage of English language skills is probably a factor. Also, the fact that India is so advanced and so well known makes it harder for another location to grow rapidly. Ultimately, though, I believe China will become an outsourcing powerhouse. The talent pool is just too attractive to pass up. China's education system produces 350,000 engineering grads per year. When China blossoms, it's possible that the successful approach will be the one pioneered by Achievo, a four-year-old outsourcing firm with its headquarters in Silicon Valley and most of its programmers in China.
Even though Achievo is only four years old, it already has a global footprint. It has offices in 14 cities in the US, Canada, Germany, China, Taiwan, and Japan. About 1,000 service delivery people are in China--not just in the big cities but in second-tier burgs such as Jinan and Dalian. "We say we're a US corporation, a global company, and a China back end," says Robert Lee, the chief executive, who has 30 years of experience in the software industry.
The other thing that's notable about Achievo is what it calls its "local front end." While most Indian outsourcers have a ratio of 20% of their service delivery people on site in customers' offices and most of the rest off-shore, Achievo puts 30% to 35% of its delivery people close to the customer. It also hires local people in the countries where it serves clients rather than sending employees from low-cost countries on temporary assignments to work directly with clients.
That means Achievo can't match the top Indians' operating margins of 25% to 35%. But Lee figures the investment will pay off longer term by gaining the trust and confidence of clients.
Over the long haul, Lee believes China will become more and more attractive to clients because it has a vast pool of engineering talent in its second- and third-tier cities, so it will be able to keep a lid on salaries and turnover rates. "We can maintain a quality service at a sustainable cost. India won't be able to do that," he says.
I wouldn't bet on that. India also has second- and third-tier cities and tech services outfits are quickly expanding there to take the pressure off of Bangalore and Gurgaon. It seems to me the crucial factor will be the abilities of these countries to educate a large number of people with excellent software skills. India already has a viable software economy. China, by tolerating software piracy, has stifled the development of a home-grown software industry. Until China deals with its piracy problem, I don't believe it will become a major factor in tech services.

When the Indian offshoring first started in the early and late 90's the onshore ratio was 50% to 60%. As the process maturity as well as pressure on margins set in the ratio of on-site workforce started to come down to the current levels of 20% or less. Therefore, this is not something new and depending on the life cycle of where the company is in its state of maturity of process. I don't agree that trust and confidence of clients are built by on-site presence - eventually it is the delivery, the quality and costs that matter, not necessarily in that order.

I do not see China become an IT outsource destination for a long time to come simply because of Chinese poor English skill and blatant disregard of IP. On the other hand, I can foresee that Vietnam and Philippine will eat India?? outsource pie. There are several areas not in favor of India.
1). Pilipino speaks much better English than strong accent Indians. Vietnamese is also Latin language based. It is easy for Vietnamese to pick up English.
2). Vietnamese etc. are better educated especially in Math. India with its billion+ people never score better than Vietnam or Iran in any Math/Informatics Olympiad
3). Vietnamese and Pilipino have higher IQ than Indian average IQ 81

I always wonder what kind of work gets outsourced to China? Undoubtedly China has a quality talent pool which can be dipped into. But there is not much of data/evidence around process maturity, delivery track record of Chinese companies, Customer satisfaction metrics in dealing with Chinese companies, attrition related issues within Chinese companies, Salary Inflations, Domain capabilities, Demonstrated ability to scale up, Large program delivery capability, financial stability and strength of balance sheet. While I am a firm believer that the Indian edge is going to get blunted in the next five years, it is not going to be blown away out of existence even in the next couple of decades.
Also one strong competitive advantage that Indian companies have is their profit margins. Today a majority of the companies (including some of the leading Tier 2 companies)have double digit profit margins. Even at these levels of margins companies are able to grow at 30% on an average. If push comes to shove -- Indian companies will be able to sacrifice the margins to gain market shares -- which I think the relentless globalisation will without a doubt will ensure.
Indian companies are also moving up the value chain firmly but slowly. The largest pool of talent for SAP, Oracle Apps, Supply chain, PLM and a host of other packages today resides in India and this is only growing.
Steve, may be it is a good idea that you persuade Businessweek to allow you to spend six months in China to understand the real situation. In the process you will be able to report on the shifts that are taking place in the tech industry -- a passion that you got so far . May be NASSCOM can part fund your stay in China

Comment on Comment:
For outsourcing it is sheer numbers that counts more than brains, because inspite of repeated claims of Indians moving up the value chain, it is still mundane work that makes up the larger share of the outsourcing pie.
In fact, most of the outsourcing work won't require a Maths Ph.D. or an Olympiad medalist, only a handful shall do.
Accents: South Indians find it difficult to shed those, but Northerners do it easily: that's why you'll find call centers concentrated in North Indian city of Gurgaaon and not Bangalore. For the rest of the outsourcing business, I don't think accents count that much- you just need to convey your point. After all it's a fight for bottomline, not accents.

I have experience of getting Control system software work done for my project in China and the engineers that I found were good in English skills, talented and good at their work. I see no reason why they cannot be competitive with Indians. Quit subscribing to stereotypes, check out reality. Wake up & smell the coffee!

Understanding Bulimia: Prevention
In this article
How Can I Prevent Bulimia?
Once a disease like bulimia has developed, prevention focuses on trying to keep it from getting more severe and causing harm to a person's body and sense of self. This can be difficult, as eating disorders can go on secretly for a long time before others suspect what is happening and intervene.

I purchased this on a whim in a travel size at a 7-eleven when my hands were killing me and I'm glad I did. It's a really good and simple lotion. Super moisturizing without getting sticky or greasy, no smell at all, it's a good lotion. Nothing exciting but a great basic.
I got a sample of this lotion in a magazine, they now call it Jergens Ultra care and they state it's made with an illuminating hydralucence blend. I really liked the sample that I used for my body. It left my skin hydrated and plump and bouncy, and it was not sticky at all. The packaging is also now prettier, beige with a little orange drawing on the front; it's cute! I think I'll purchase a full bottle.

this is my HG body moisturizer. i've been using this moisturizer for about 8 years. it is the best moisturizer i've ever used, including heavy duty moisturizers like TBS body butters. it is light (but not too runny) but it's super moisturizing and absorbs quickly. i used to have dry scaly skin on my legs and little bumps on the back of my arms, but this lotion has repaired my skin! i will keep buying this for as long as jergens makes it and i think i'll cry if it's ever discontinued! love that it's truly fragrance-free too, though for people who like scents, it also comes in a cherry blossom scent. i can get this for about $7 CAD for a huge 725mL pump bottle.

Great hand lotion, the only stuff I use. Cost $8 (CAN) for a huge 620ml pump container. I love that there is virtually no fragrance at all. Just the right consistency, not too thick, not runny, and absorbs well. I just wish they made a purse-size container because it took *forever* to re-fill the travel container.

I am now 37w2d pregnant. The contractions have slowed way down and are bascially untimeable and non-painful now (thanks to the medicine!!!) I had another ultrasound yesterday and Lucy is 33% for size. She weighs 6lbs 5oz, but her little legs are like 4 weeks behind. That worries me, but I just have to let it go. I don't know what the measurements for my other two were.....we are quite a short family. I just don't want it to be noticeable for her, ya know?
I swear I think that about 3 pounds of her weight are stored in her cheeks. She is so, so chubby! They also said that her abdomen is measuring a week ahead (which would be no big deal if her other measurements were right on, but they aren't), but that she doesn't have fluid retention or anything. So I guess, I should try my hardest not to worry about that either.
Her kidney dialation is still gone and it still appears that her only structural complication is her heart.
10 days.....that's all I have to wait now This is such a hard time for my husband and I. Every ounce of us wants to be so excited, but we still hold the reservation of what happened with our son. It's an emotional/mental turmoil.
Here's a picture of Lucy from yesterday. After I looked at her pictures, I started to worry that her cord was around her neck, but the u/s tech didn't say anything and I asked the nurse to ask her today and she said that she didn't notice it if it was. I am just hoping what I see in the pictures is just blobby 3D stuff or some of her double chin chub.

10 Best Practices for Better Benefit Design
Designing and managing any benefits program is both a financial investment and a time commitment. Smart businesses know how to make the most of both.
Each year, the Principal Financial Group® (The Principal®) recognizes The Principal 10 Best Companies for Employee Financial Security, based on top-notch employee benefits, tools, and resources, as well as outstanding corporate cultures that encourage and support employees' long-term financial wellbeing.
With the support of The Principal, these 10 best practices can help catapult your benefit design and administration to "10 Best" level.
- Recognize the real benefit of your benefit program.
When you offer top-notch benefits and an encouraging, supportive company culture, it's not only your employees who reap the rewards.
Your business does too, by attracting and retaining top talent and encouraging greater productivity: turnover rates at 10 Best companies are significantly lower than industry averages.
- Offer meaningful retirement savings benefits.
All 10 Best companies offer a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings plan. And they don't stop there—many also offer profit-sharing programs, defined benefit pension plans, or employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs).
By sponsoring a variety of retirement savings vehicles, you directly support your employees' choice for their long-term financial security—and provide a powerful incentive for career growth and development.
- Make it easy for employees to participate.
Auto-enrollment and auto-escalation features are common among 10 Best companies' retirement savings plans, which report higher-than-average participation rates. Periodic sweeps can also identify (and encourage) eligible employees who don't participate to join the program.
- Reinforce employees' long-term savings habits.
By adding direct contributions and matching funds to employees' retirement savings plans—as 80% of 10 Best companies do—your business can offer the kind of financial bonus employees will benefit from not just now, but far into the future.
- Commit to developing financial literacy.
Helping your employees to increase their financial knowledge isn't as simple as providing one handout or holding a single information session.
10 Best companies offer a variety of financial planning resources on an ongoing basis, from seminars and workshops to online resources, educational print materials, and dedicated phone help lines. Many also provide access to one-on-one guidance for truly personal help.
- Default your 401(k) asset allocation to a lifecycle fund.
Don't leave the burden entirely on your employees to determine which asset allocation choices are in their best interests. Follow the lead of 90% of 10 Best companies in designating a lifecycle fund as the default choice, setting your employees up for success without guesswork.
- Care for employees' health wellness too.
A full 100% of 10 Best companies offer comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance, covering 75% or more of the premiums. Sponsoring supplemental group coverage, such as life, critical illness, accident, or long-term care insurance, can also help employees to stay on track with savings goals and protect their families if the unexpected happens.
The majority of 10 Best companies go even further, offering perks like paid or discounted health club memberships, on-site fitness coaches, and other wellness programs to promote proactive health (and potentially offset dependency on medical care in the future).
- Build flexibility into your benefit program.
Life changes—and so do your employees' health and financial needs. By sponsoring Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) or other types of flexible savings accounts, you give your employees more options to plan for their healthcare needs.
Some 10 Best companies also offer dedicated financial assistance during major life events, such as buying a first home, purchasing a car, or saving for a child's education, helping employees to make smart financial decisions in high-stakes situations.
- Reward involvement in financial and health wellness.
It can pay to give employees an extra incentive to participate in company-sponsored retirement savings and wellness initiatives.
A number of 10 Best companies offer reward programs for participation, sometimes extending benefits not just to employees, but also to their families. Many also sponsor events to build team morale while making participation memorable and fun.
- Support employees' long-term success.
Investing in the education and development of valued team members encourages employee retention and career growth, while also enriching the company resource pool.
Almost all 10 Best companies offer tuition reimbursement benefits and leadership development programs, and 100% actively encourage (and sponsor) attendance at conferences and seminars to strengthen employees' professional skills and connections.
A healthy, financially thriving workforce with numerous incentives and opportunities to grow and progress within the company? We call that a win-win for everyone involved—and our 10 Best companies, with their divrse range of industries, sizes, and geographic locations, set a powerful example.
Need a place to start? The Principal Business Owner & Executive Solutions include a range of products and services to help you design a benefits program that supports your employees and your business.

Bidong Island
The Bidong Island (Malay: Pulau Bidong) is one square kilometre in area and is situated off the coast of Terengganu, Malaysia in the South China Sea. Bidong Island is accessible from the coastal town of Merang.
Vietnamese refugees[edit]
On 30 April 1975, the Vietnam War ended with the evacuation of the American Embassy and the fall of Saigon to the North Vietnamese Army. Millions of people tried to flee the new Communist rule in Vietnam. In May 1975, the first boat with 47 refugees arrived in Malaysia from Vietnam. They were called "boat people." However, the number of boat people fleeing Vietnam was relatively small until 1978. Bidong Island was officially opened as a refugee camp on 8 August 1978 with 121 Vietnamese refugees. The capacity of the camp was said to be 4,500. Another 600 refugees arrived in August and thereafter the arrival of boats from Vietnam was a near daily occurrence. By January 1979, there were 18,000 Vietnamese on the island and by June 1979 it was said to be the most heavily populated place on earth with about 40,000 refugees crowded into a flat area hardly larger than a football field.[1]
The passage from Vietnam was hazardous and the refugee boats were small, overloaded, and often attacked by pirates. Thousands of refugees died at sea; rape and abduction of refugee women was common. In addition, the governments of Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries discouraged refugees from landing on their shores. Refugee boats were often pushed offshore or towed to Bidong and other designated camps.
Conditions on Bidong were difficult. One visitor, Leo Cherne, called Bidong "Hell Isle." Refugees crowded onto the island "lived in makeshift huts two and three stories high made of salvaged timbers from wrecked boats, plastic sheets, tin cans, and corrugated iron sheets." Latrines and wells were inadequate; tropical rainstorms sent rivers of filthy water through the camp; all food and clean water had to be imported from the mainland. Water was rationed at one gallon per day per person. Doctors were abundant, but medicine was in short supply. Sanitation was nearly non-existent and hepatitis was rampant."[2] But the refugee population was well organised and many small businesses and an efficient food and water distribution system was set up. Aid organisations such as the Malaysian Red Crescent Society, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and many non-governmental organisations assisted the refugees. An international volunteer staff of medical personnel tended to the refugee's health problems. Immigration officials from many countries visited the island to interview refugees for resettlement abroad.
The arrival of new refugees to Bidong and other locations in Southeast Asia decreased after June 1979. A Geneva Convention held in July 1979 resulted in Vietnam agreeing to restrain the flow of refugees and the Southeast Asian countries agreeing to take all those who came to their shores provided that the Western countries guaranteed resettlement for the majority of them. President Jimmy Carter raised the quota for permitting Indochinese into the United States from 7,000 to 14,000 per month and other countries followed suit, especially Canada, Australia, and France. The population of Bidong began to decline as refugees departed for resettlement abroad.[3]
By the time Bidong was closed as a refugee camp on 30 October 1991, about 250,000 Vietnamese had passed through or resided in the camp. With the closing of the camp, the remaining refugees were repatriated back to Vietnam. The refugees strongly protested their forced repatriation. A total of 9,000 Vietnamese were repatriated between 1991 and 28 August 2005 when the last refugees departed Malaysia for Vietnam. In 1999, the island was opened to tourism. It has regained its former pristine beauty and many former refugees have revisited their old home.[4]

(4.30pm AEDT)
The Australian sharemarket was travelling well for most of the
session, until the Reserve Bank (
) decided to keep interest rates on hold at 4.25 pct. The All
Ordinaries index (XAO) fell 0.5 pct or 19.7 pts to 4344.9. Most
sectors lost ground following the RBA decision however the energy
sector, the telcos and healthcare companies managed to end the
day higher.
The reporting season has kicked off this week and there were a
few companies releasing their results throughout the day.
Cochlear (
), the manufacturer of inner ear implants announced its half-year
profit this morning (the six months between July to December
The company posted a profit of $80.1 million prior to
significant one off costs. When you take into account the $100
million (after tax) costs of a product recall back in September
last year, the company has posted a $20.3 million loss over the
COH's revenue was $387.4 million and there was a 9 pct fall in
product sales to 10724 over that period. The company also
announced an interim dividend of $1.20 a share which is scheduled
to be paid to investors on March 13th.
Profit was a little better than expectations as was revenue.
The declared dividend was 14 pct higher than in the corresponding
period in 2012. One thing which was clear from the result was
that the voluntary recall of one of its main product lines, the
CI500 implant range has hurt the company's bottom line. COH
shares were down 6.2 pct prior to today in the 2010 calendar year
while COH shares rose 7.59 pct or $4.41 to $62.52 today.
The mining sector was worst hit today, with RIO Tinto (
) down 1.78 pct or $1.29 to $71.01 while BHP Billiton (
) lost 0.81 pct or 31 cents to $37.90.
Three of the four major banks lost ground today, with National
Bank (NAB) by far the worst performer following a disappointing
trading update. Macquarie Group (MQG) fell by 0.77 pct or 20
cents to $25.90 today after announcing a significant profit
downgrade of as much as 25 pct. This was partly blamed on
difficult global market conditions.
All eyes were firmly fixed on the Reserve Bank of Australia (
) and its rates decision out this afternoon. It was widely
expected that interest rates would be cut by 25 bps (basis
points) or 0.25 pct today to 4 pct. The market was factoring in a
76 pct chance of a rate cut today. The RBA surprised all those
involved with the market by keeping interest rates unchanged.
Immediately following the decision the Australian dollar (
) rose strongly from US107 cents to US108 cents. The RBA meets on
the first Tuesday of each calendar month (except in January) to
make a decision on interest rates. The decision is announced at
2.30pm (AEDT) and can have a significant impact on both markets
and currencies, particularly if the actual result is contrary to
market expectations. The bank also always issues an accompanying
statement with the rates decision which is freely available on
the central bank's website (www.rba.gov.au).
In the first paragraph of the statement, Chairman Glenn
Stevens acknowledged that the global economy is struggling
however said that he sees sign of improvement in the European
region nonetheless.
With rates remaining at 4.25 pct, Australia has some of the
highest interest rates of any advanced economy. The official
interest rates in Europe are at 1 pct while the Bank of England
has rates at 0.5 pct. This gives the RBA more room to move on
rates if necessary.
Commsec Economist, Craig James said that "The Reserve Bank
clearly maintains an easing bias - a bias to cut rates. The key
phrase of the statement was: "the Board judged that the setting
of monetary policy was appropriate for the moment. Should demand
conditions weaken materially; the inflation outlook would provide
scope for easier monetary policy." Perhaps if the European
situation deteriorates markedly, the next decision won't be
whether to cut rate by 25 basis points, but rather 50 or 75 basis
Mr James continued by saying that "Despite the inaction on
rates, there are still choices for those paying off home loans
and those looking to enter the housing market. The 3-year fixed
home loan rate stands at 6.35 per cent, around 1 percentage point
below the variable rate. If you expect banks to cut the variable
rate by more than a percentage point over the next few years then
you would stick with the variable rate. But for those struggling
with repayments or those looking to unleash some spending power,
there are clearly options available."
The latest monthly statistics on overseas tourist arrivals and
departures was also released today. The number of permanent
settlers entering Australia hit a 34-month high in December.
There was a 0.9 pct rise in the number of tourist departures
while the number of tourists entering our border rose by a very
modest 0.1 pct over the month.
Commsec's Chief Economist, Craig James said that "Aussies are
still flocking abroad, encouraged by the strong dollar. In 2011 a
record 7.8 million visits were recorded, far in advance of the
5.88 million visitor arrivals in the year. But it is by no means
doom and gloom for Australia's tourism industry with arrivals
from China soaring 19 per cent over 2011 while Indonesian
tourists rose by 13 per cent. The tourism sector clearly needs to
be focussing on the rising middle classes of Asia. Not only are
incomes rising in the region but the potential number of tourists
is particularly exciting for the industry."
In the region today, the New Zealand sharemarket traded for
the first time this week following yesterday's national holiday
(Waitangi Day). There was a lack of market moving economic data
out today however the latest leading indicators index for
December was released at 4pm (AEDT). This index is calculated by
putting together 11 separate economic indicators to measure the
direction of the Japanese economy.
Out of Europe last night, the latest report on factory orders
was released at 10pm (AEDT) and ended better than expected.
Rising purchase orders signals that manufacturers will increase
activity as they work to fill in orders.
In Europe tonight, France's latest trade balance will be
released. The market is expecting a deficit of around €5.2
billion to be recorded for December. The trade balance measures
the difference between imported and exported goods over the
There was no major market moving economic data out last night
in the U.S. Tonight will also be relatively quiet however Federal
Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke will be testifying on the economic
outlook and federal budget situation before the Senate Budget
Committee in Washington DC. This will be released at 2am (AEDT)
tomorrow morning. Chairman Bernanke's comments tend to be
listened to carefully for hints of potential future actions of
the central bank. The U.S Federal Reserve is the American
equivalent to Australia's Reserve Bank.
The volume of shares traded came in at 1.83 billion today,
worth $4.6 billion. 445 shares were up, 517 finished weaker and
374 ended unchanged.
At 4.30pm AEDT on the Sydney Futures Exchange, the ASX24
futures contract is down 0.21 pct or 9 pts to 4247.
Due to daylight savings, most major European markets are now
trading between 7pm (AEDT) and 3.30am (AEDT). Futures in Europe
are pointing to a slightly weaker start to trade tonight.
Dow Futures are currently higher; indicating that U.S stocks
could open a touch stronger tonight. American markets open at
1.30am (AEDT). Due to the Americans going back an hour on
November 5 last year, U.S markets will be trading between 1.30am
(AEDT) and 8am (AEDT).
Turning to currencies, the Australian dollar (
) buys US108 cents (around a six month high) and €82.4 cents. The
AUD is currently trading at £68.3 cents. The AUD rose very
strongly against a basket of currencies immediately following the
RBA's rates decision.

100 miles to go…
By Jessyca Dudley
Every day more than 7,000 people contract HIV—more than 300 every
hour. And, nearly 1.2 million Americans are now living with HIV. That
is why over the next several months I will train to ride the Wriggle
Field Road Tour. The Wrigley Field Road Tour (WFRT) which takes place
August 27th is an annual 100mi bike ride from historic Wrigley Field
in Chicago, IL to Miller Park in Milwaukee WI, benefiting the global

Charities, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago and other organizations
fighting to end HIV/AIDS.

iHerb Customer Reviews
The BEST lipstick I've found so far for natural looking lips. I have a wird purpulish color that outlines my lips. This product makes my lips look even tone! Looks incredibly pretty on medium skin tones. Feels so light, it's thick, so soft, leaves a very light (almost unperceptible) minty sensation. LOVE IT!
This one is not a "regular" lipstick. it is a bit more oily and thus does not stay all day long. It is great as a lip-tint, great shade of purplish-pink. It leaves lips feeling moisturized and healthy. Love it and will try out the other colors!

Guest Star
Brady has over 30 guest starring credits across TV and film, including Chapelle's Show, How I Met Your Mother and Wild 'N Out. His supporting roles seem to be as impactful as roles that see him as the lead. This is largely attributed to his enormous talents and ambiguous appeal.

I'm relatively unskilled in Dependency Injection, and I'd like to learn some best practices and anti-patterns to use and avoid respectively when using DI.
Here's a dependency injection anti-pattern: Multiple Constructors.
There's a best practices section in Guice's user's guide.
I really enjoyed this article regarding DI, as it's targeted towards people who don't have a ton of DI experience, or don't even know what it is.
In my opinion, Dhanji Prasanna's book Dependency Injection is a must read for software designers, both beginners and experts. It deals directly with your DI questions.
My basic rule about when to use DI is that I will inject between layers, so between my controller and the dao would be a layer, so I can inject, so that if I want to mock out a layer I can.
I think using DI within the same layer is not a good idea mainly because the layer should be tightly coupled, as they are related, unless you have a user story that makes it useful.
For example, if your DAO is may be on separate computers then you may need to be able to pretend that they are one layer, but use DI to actually switch between all on one machine and separate machines. Then the developer can do everything on one machine and it should work on separate machines.
But, unless there is some pressing need, I think DI within the same layer is an unnecessary complication.
I've found that when I see a violation of the Law of Demeter that is a hint that I might want dependency injection.
For example:
Sometimes hints that I might want to dependency inject

Morelands Trading Estate is a well-known historical landmark in Gloucester, having originally been the Old England match factory. The site has been fully restored and converted into business offices, workshops, industrial units and studios. It also offers a large meeting room for hire.
Covering 250,500 square feet (23,225 square metres) in total, Morelands Trading Estate contains over 70 business units. These range in size from 320 - 34,000 square feet (30 - 3,158 square metres), so we can cater for both large and small businesses. Our simple one-page licence gives you flexibility for your business and makes signing up quick and easy.
Close to the Gloucester Quays Outlet centre and the Gloucester Docks, our business park benefits from an excellent public transport and road network. We have 110 free car parking spaces, available on a first come, first served basis and there is good access to all the business units for loading / unloading. We also offer night time security patrols and monitored CCTV. There is no reception at this business centre, but we do provide a postal service.
The site is also home to a community art project for disadvantaged children, which has helped the estate to become a community hub for the local area.
Our offices are rented on an unfurnished basis and range from 50 – 1,370 square feet (4.6 – 127.3 square metres). Most have windows, but we do also have some internal units. Other residents on site offer telecoms and IT set-up, but you are free to choose your own providers and tailor your services to your needs.
Our eight studios are based in a separate building called Bizspace House, which has its own entry system and service lift. Split over two floors, they range from 1,000 – 2,500 square feet (92.9 -232.3 square metres) and have high ceilings and large windows, letting in plenty of light. They are therefore ideal for photographers and artists or can be used as gyms or fitness studios.
Industrial units
We have a small number of industrial units, with roller shutter doors to provide easy access. One of these is a standalone 15,000 square foot (1,393 square metre) unit that can be used as a warehouse or for other light industrial purposes.
If you do not want an actual office or unit, but need a business address, we provide a mailbox service. Starting from £30 plus VAT, this is an economical option that keeps your business mail secure and separate from your personal post. You can then collect it when convenient for you, or we can forward it on to another address for you.
Meeting room
Our spacious meeting room can seat up to 30 people in a boardroom style layout or up to 40 in a theatre style. The room has its own kitchenette, complete with microwave, a flip chart, overhead projector and TV. We can provide self-serve tea and coffee on request food can be ordered from our nearby sandwich shop or cafes. Starting from £8 per hour, we offer an affordable venue for your meeting or training event.

The holidays can be a magical time of year for…
The Tech-pert: 5 Cheap Ways to Go Green for Earth Day 2011
Earth Day comes only once per year (this year it's April 22), but let's be realistic: every day should be Earth Day. After all, this is our only available planet (for now).
Don't you think we should keep it habitable for as long as humanly possible?
Technology can help–and so can you. With the right gear and few small changes to the way you work and live, you can save money, energy, and quite possibly the Earth.
1. Install a programmable thermostat
This is an oldie but goodie, and with good reason: a programmable thermostat is a cheap and easy way to save both money and energy. Think about it: your house probably sits empty for the better part of the day, what with everyone gone to work and school. Why burn cash and electricity to heat or cool the house during that time?
Likewise, countless studies have shown that if you lower your thermostat just a few degrees at night, while you sleep, you'll lower your annual heating bill considerably–while at the same time lowering your carbon footprint.
Programmable thermostats can handle all these heating/cooling changes for you. They can memorize and repeat multiple temperature settings, while also allowing you to make manual adjustments as needed–without affecting the rest of the daily or weekly program. They're easy to install, and prices start at around $50 for models with separate weekday and weekend programming.
- Print PDFs instead of pages
Still using paper? Hey, this is the digital age! It's no longer necessary to print a document just so you can fax it, stick it in a file drawer, or share it with co-workers. Instead, simply "print" your pages as PDF files, which you can then e-mail, stick in a hard-drive folder, or share with co-workers (electronically, of course).
Just about any computer program can produce PDFs instead of paper. In Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010, for example, you can save any document as a PDF (just look in the Save As menu) or turn it into a PDF e-mail attachment (by way of the Send menu). For programs that don't have PDF-generation capabilities built in, you can install a third-party utility that adds a PDF option to any Print menu. I'm partial to doPDF, a free and easy solution.
Regular printing consumes paper, ink, and electricity. It also adds to the wear-and-tear on your printer. So the next time you find your mouse cursor hovering over the "Print" button, ask yourself if you really need a hard copy of this document. In most cases, an electronic version would work just as well–if not better.
- Recycle old gadgets
During this year's Spring-cleaning spree, don't be surprised to discover a pile of old gadgets that have outlived their usefulness: PDAs, MP3 players, cell phones, digital cameras, and so on. Before you toss them in the trash, consider the harmful-to-the-environment nature of the electronics–especially the batteries–that power these devices. Trust me: you don't want this stuff sitting in a landfill.
Fortunately, there are countless ways to recycle old gadgets–and maybe even pocket some cash in the process. Sites like Gazelle and NextWorth buy used electronics, and of course you can always sell items yourself on Craigslist and eBay.
Meanwhile, most electronics manufacturers (Apple, HP, Sony, etc.) and wireless carriers (AT&T, Verizon, etc.) offer recycling programs. To find out the particulars, check out Engadget's how-to guide for gadget recycling.
Finally, if you just want to get rid of everything in one fell swoop, take a trip to your local Best Buy: the store offers a consumer-friendly electronics recycling program. Just drop off your gear and go.
- Leave your battery out of your laptop
If your laptop spends most of its time on your desk, you probably leave it plugged in 24/7. That's a mistake–and totally unnecessary. See, the battery continues to consume AC power even when the laptop is off. Not much–merely enough to keep the charge "topped off"–but it's still wasted electricity if you're not planning to use the battery anytime soon.
What's more, keeping that battery fully charged at all times will actually degrade its charge capacity. Batteries need to fully discharge and recharge for optimum longevity. When it serves desk duty for most of the time, it rarely gets that opportunity. Thus, you may end up replacing the battery sooner than necessary–an expensive and eco-unfriendly proposition. (Replacement laptop batteries often cost as much as $100.)
The solution? If your laptop serves primarily as a desktop, pull the battery. Don't worry: the system will still run just fine without it, so long as you keep the AC plugged in. If you need to go mobile, just pop the battery back in the night before so it has a chance to charge.
5. Hit the app store
Looking for new and inventive ways to go green? Yep, there's an app for that. In fact, if you own an Android phone or iPhone, you'll find a local farmer's ransom in eco-friendly apps. For example, Find Green (Android) offers a giant directory of "green" businesses, along with local recycling centers and farmer's markets. Then there's GoodGuide (iPhone), which scans product barcodes to provide an instant rating on health, environment, and social responsibility. And don't miss Green Genie (iPhone), your "complete guide to a sustainable lifestyle."
To find more "green" apps, just hit your phone's app store and search for any relevant topic: farmer's markets, recycling, energy, etc.
In what ways are you planning to go green this Earth Day? Share your eco-friendly tips and tricks in the comments!
