EU and Asean confirm objective of free trade agreement
Bandar Seri Begawan - Foreign Ministers of the EuropeanUnion and the Association of South-East Asian Nations (Asean)re-stated their commitment Friday to an eventual free trade agreement between the two economic zones.
The delegates agreed to "reaffirm the ultimate goal of a regional Asean-EU FTA," according to a document produced at the end of the two-day meeting, described as a plan of action to strengthen theAsean-EU enhanced partnership on trade agreements.
"The Asean-EU FTA will build on the bilateral agreements with the individual Asean member states and will take account their different levels of development and capacity," the document said.
Both regions had "enormous potential," German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said. Europe's economic woes could not be solved by savings alone, he said, indicating that improved trade ties were also necessary for economic growth.

Is there more to life than money?
05 Jun 2013 19:44 GMT | Politics, Europe, US & Canada, Russia, Syria
A conference on ending the fighting in Syria will not happen in June, as planned, because both sides in the conflict are unprepared to attend, the UN's international envoy Lakhdar Brahimi said.
Speaking in Geneva on Wednesday, where the international peace meeting on Syria was due to take place this month, Brahimi said: "The Syrian sides are not ready ... the opposition has a lot of work to get ready for this conference."
The US and Russia had spearheaded the meeting, with Washington taking the lead on bringing the opposition to the table, and Moscow working on getting the government of President Bashar al-Assad to attend.
"There is still a lot of work to do to bring a conference about. For this reason, we have come to the conclusion today that it will not be possible to hold this conference in June," said Brahimi.
The meeting might be held in July, he said, after preparatory talks with US and Russian officials.
He will chair a second round of preparatory talks on June 25.
"I think it is embarrassing for us that we are not capable of holding this conference already," Brahimi said. "The opposition has to complete a lot of work to get ready for this conference. I think that they are doing that. And until the opposition is ready, all we can do is wait. Of course I encourage them, push them, help them get there, but obviously the conference can't take place without them."
Participation dilemma
Brahimi also said that the delay is not a sign of "sticking points from above", meaning the postponement is solely because of warring Syria parties.
Earlier on Wednesday, reports said Russian, US and UN officials meeting in the Swiss city failed to resolve questions over who would take part.
"The most difficult question is the circle of participants in the conference," said Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov, according to Interfax news agency.
He also said peace talks would not happen in June.
"The whole issue is that the Syrian opposition, unlike the government, has not made a fundamental decision about its participation in this conference," Gatilov said.
The idea for 'Geneva 2' came from the US and Russia, two countries which do not agree on most things concerning Syria. But for the first time in months, they agreed at the beginning of May on a plan for the way forward.
"Geneva 2 would not be just another international meeting on Syria. What is proposed is face-to-face talks between one delegation representing the opposition, and another made up of regime figures," says Al Jazeera's diplomatic editor James Bays.

A proposed conference in Geneva is gaining traction with the US and Russia throwing diplomatic muscle behind the plan.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
Is there more to life than money?
26 Mar 2012 10:08 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Bahrain, Croatia, United States
The ongoing price paid by Palestinians is easier to measure than that of Yasser Arafat, the former leader of the PLO and one of the most controversial leaders of the 20th century. To many a hero, to many others a villain, Arafat remains an enigma. Arafat's leadership continues to divide and polarise opinion, though there can be little dispute of its impact on the Middle East.
Frost Over the World looks at the first installment of a landmark documentary series on the price of leadership, which reveals the sacrifices made and the ultimate price paid, both personally and politically, in order to lead a nation.
Sir David Frost speaks to Suha Arafat, the widow of Yasser Arafat, and the creators of the documentary film series The Price of Kings to discuss the man behind the headlines, the husband and father. She considers his legacy, his role as father of modern Palestine and confronts the ongoing allegations of corruption.
"Now we know who the corrupt people are. The Arab Spring is revealing all the atrocities of the Arab world. I always tell my daughter: You have to be proud of baba, baba is the only leader in the Arab world who was not kicked by his own people," says Suha Arafat.
Click here for more on The Price of Kings.
Sir David is also joined by Xenia Dormandy, Chatham House, to talk about the situation in Afghanistan. Is the massacre of 16 Afghan villagers in Kandahar by a US soldier a tipping point for the US in Afghanistan?
The response from Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, has been the demand that all coalition troops are restricted to their barracks in rural areas, and that Afghan security forces will take over by 2013, not 2014. Meanwhile the Taliban have called off their talks with the Americans. So where does this leave the US?
The controversial artists Gilbert and George take Frost around their latest exhibition in the White Cube Gallery, discuss their love for London's East End and explain why their art continues to shock 40 years on. What is the inspiration behind their 'unusual' work?
Sir David is also joined by Luis de Guindos, the Spanish minister of economy, to discuss the eurozone's ongoing sovereign debt crisis and how Spain plans to get the economy back on its feet.

An around-the-world time lapse journey celebrating our Sacred Earth. Six years in the making... seven continents... 24 countries. Photographed & Edited by Sean F. White http://www.seanwhite.net Original score by Roy Milner http://www.roymilner.com Full details and locations shot-by-shot: http://www.TERRA-SACRA.com Versión en español http://www.beyondgravity.whsites.net/ioe/wordpress/?page_id=441 Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/seanfwhite Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Sean-F-White-Photography-Films/291134517608278 -- My life as a filmmaker has blessed me with the privilege of seeing some of the most surreal and timeless places on the planet. These images of our Sacred Earth set to music are my way of sharing some of the magic I've experienced along the way... "Terra Sacra" ~ Latin for Sacred Earth. Terra Sacra Time Lapses is a short film featuring remote landscapes and ancient monuments from around the globe. These images were photographed during my assignments and personal travels between 2006-2012. I've combined my favourite shots from these trips into non-narrative film that touches on a theme close to my heart: Sacred Earth. The visuals are driven by an original score by composer Roy Milner (roymilner.com). The six-minute film is a journey through three distinct Acts: (I) Primordial Earth (II) Past meets Present and (III) Eternal Universe. This film is a personal project to share the beauty and awe I witnessed at these locations. I hope viewers will be moved by the intangible power of our Terra Sacra. THANKS TO: Endless thanks to Art Wolfe for hiring me to as the cinematographer for the public television series Art Wolfe's Travels to the Edge and taking me to the ends of the Earth where most of the shots from Terra Sacra were made. Art, you are an inspiration and the most driven photographer I have ever known! I learned so much working on this show with our amazing crew and have stories to tell for a lifetime! http://www.artwolfe.com http://www.travelstotheedge.com Never-ending thanks to friends and colleagues Ian Herring and Maija Leivo of Parallax Film Productions for permission to us shots I took for the television series Ancient Megastructures (National Geographic Channel / History Television) and Battle Castle (Discovery/History Television/ BBC). These assignments provided unprecedented access to some of the world's most iconic ancient landmarks http://www.parallaxfilm.com Infinite thanks to my amazing wife Deddeda for her love and constant encouragement to pursue this project. TECHNICAL: Most of the time lapses were shot with a Canon 5D at the maximum resolution using a TC-80N3 intervalometer. A few shots were taken with a Canon 7D and Canon 5D mk II. All images are single manual exposures, no HDR composites. Original full resolution images were colour corrected and processed in 16-bit in Adobe Bridge using Camera Raw and exported as JPEG sequences at maximum quality. The rendered JPEG sets were then opened in Quicktime Pro as image sequences and exported at their native full resolution (up to 5K) as Quicktime movies at 23.98 fps with the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) codec. The ProRes 422 (HQ) files were then edited in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 on a ProRes 422 (HQ) timeline at 23.98. The master file is ProRes 422 (HQ) 1920 x 1080. Selected time lapse sequences were also processed using Adobe Bridge and LRTimelapse to smoothen aperture flicker apparent in some shots with large depth-of-field. LICENSING: If you are interested in licensing any of the shots from the film, please contact me so I can direct you to the appropriate agency. WHAT'S NEXT? I would love to revisit many of the location in this film and other powerful sacred sites around the world to create a feature-length "Terra Sacra". The film would combine real-time, slow-motion, and motion control time lapse imagery - all in stereoscopic 3D. If you are an angel investor, potential sponsor, broadcaster, distributor or someone deeply p...

Temperature Tests
The temperature of the core is pulled from MSI Afterburner with the max reading used after a completed run off 3DMark Vantage and the Performance preset.
Looking at the temperature test we can see the new Double Dissipation cooler does a good job. We've got a couple degrees shaved off the load temp and a solid 9c shaved off the idle making it run considerably cooler than the other cards here.

The Work That Keeps This World
"The most unappreciated and undervalued forms of technological labour are also the most ordinary: those who repair and maintain technologies that already exist, that were 'innovated' long ago....We can think of labour that goes into maintenance and repair as the work of the maintainers, those individuals whose work keeps ordinary existence going rather than introducing novel things."

Does free speech protect free riders?
Oral arguments were heard on Monday in Friedrichs v.

Why Your Rent Is So High and Your Pay Is So Low
"The life I'm living right now is just so much more fun."
As the demand for tech labor grows, ambitious teenagers are flooding into San Francisco. There's no official tally of the number of teens who work in tech, but Fontenot estimates that there are as many as a hundred recent high school dropouts working on startups in the city. Some were too distracted by programming projects and weekend hackathons to go to class. Others couldn't pay for college and questioned why they should go into debt when there is easy money to be made. Still others had already launched successful apps or businesses and didn't see why they should wait at home for their lives to start. In Facebook groups for young technologists, they saw an alternative: teens lounging in sunny Dolores Park (dolo, as they call it), teens leasing expansive South of Market office space, teens throwing parties whenever they want. And so they moved to San Francisco, many of them landing in houses like Mission Control. -- The Real Teens of Silicon Valley: Inside the almost-adult lives of the industry's newest recruits

Don't mistake activity with achievement
Aspirational parents condemn their children to a desperate joyless life From infancy to employment, this is a life-denying, love-denying mindset, informed not by joy or contentment, but by an ambition that is both desperate and pointless, for it cannot compensate: childhood, family life, the joys of summer, meaningful and productive work, a sense of arrival, living in the moment.

How to fix inequality: Squash the finance industry and redistribute more
Joe Stiglitz on Inequality, Wealth, and Growth: Why Capitalism is Failing (video; if you don't have 30m, skip to 20m for discussion of political inequality, wealth, credit and monetary policy) - "If the very rich can use their position to get higher returns, more investment information, more extraction of rents, and if the very rich have equal or higher savings rates, then wealth will become more concentrated... economic inequality inevitably gets translated into political inequality, and political inequality gets translated into more economic inequality. The basic and really important idea here is that markets don't exist in a vacuum, that market economies operate according to certain rules, certain regulations that specify how they work. And those effect the efficiency of those markets, but they also effect how the fruits of the benefits of those markets are distributed and the result of that is there are large numbers of aspects of our basic economic framework that in recent years have worked to increase the inequality of wealth and income in our society... leading to a society which can be better described, increasingly, as an inherited plutocracy."

Girl Strikers: Gender and Cleveland's Garment District Strikes of 1911
Before the strike, owners flaunted the fact that production had risen each of the last ten years. The city's 35 factories employed roughly 20,000 workers, many sewing six days a week, 12-hours a day in conditions widely regarded as sweatshops.
Worse were the starvation wages made possible by the fierce competition for sewing jobs as immigrants flooded the cores of American cities.
Work was bad enough, but 60 percent of the garment workers were sole breadwinners, and another 50,000 Clevelanders either supplied or serviced the local garment industry. The only safety net was charity.
Automation is coming, but how will labor adapt?
The Machines Are Coming by Zeynep Tufekci
Machines are getting better than humans at figuring out who to hire, who's in a mood to pay a little more for that sweater, and who needs a coupon to nudge them toward a sale. In applications around the world, software is being used to predict whether people are lying, how they feel and whom they'll vote for. To crack these cognitive and emotional puzzles, computers needed not only sophisticated, efficient algorithms, but also vast amounts of human-generated data, which can now be easily harvested from our digitized world. The results are dazzling. Most of what we think of as expertise, knowledge and intuition is being deconstructed and recreated as an algorithmic competency, fueled by big data. But computers do not just replace humans in the workplace. They shift the balance of power even more in favor of employers. Our normal response to technological innovation that threatens jobs is to encourage workers to acquire more skills, or to trust that the nuances of the human mind or human attention will always be superior in crucial ways. But when machines of this capacity enter the equation, employers have even more leverage, and our standard response is not sufficient for the looming crisis.[more inside]

"Parlors, "dining chambers," and other spaces amenable to dining began appearing in architecture plans. Each nation seemed to have its own idea as to what constituted a proper dining room. The great Renaissance architect Leon Battista Alberti wrote that it "should be entered off the bosom of the house," advising further that, "[a]s use demands, there should be [a dining room] for summer, one for winter, and one for middling seasons." Some two centuries later Englishman William Sanderson would recommend that a "Dyning-Roome" be hung with pictures of kings and queens."

Empire Zinc strike and Salt of the Earth: by Labor, for Labor
From October 1950 to January 1952, the Mexican American miners at the Empire Zinc mine in Bayard, New Mexico were on strike, protesting the racial discrimination between them and their Anglo counterparts in pay, safety standards, and quality of life in company housing. Two events make this particular strike stand out from similar strikes at other mines are the involvement of the miners' wives in both requesting better living conditions and later in taking to the picket lines themselves, and after the strike was over, the feminist and pro-labor docudrama made by blacklisted Hollywood film makers, Salt of the Earth (YouTube; lower quality on Archive.org; Wikipedia).

Opinion & Analysis
"Give me land, lots of land under starry skies above, Don't fence me in."
OPINION: Famous lines from Cole Porter's musical homage to the cowboys and ranchers who went west to live the free life away from the clutches of Big Government.
But when you read the latest US Farm Bill, which has just got bogged down in Congress, you do wonder whether the following lyrics would be more accurate.
''Give me handouts, lots of handouts from the trough in Capitol Hill, Don't end the swill.''
For a large group of predominantly wealthy American farmers seem incapable and unwilling to wean themselves off US government subsides. This is bad news for New Zealand farmers and it makes the pursuit of a free-trade agreement with the US seem futile.
The Farm Bill's origins are worthy. It goes back to the Great Depression when financial assistance to farmers was needed to help them survive at a time of overproduction and weak demand. But despite most US farmers now experiencing the benefits of growing worldwide demand, the handouts continue.
The Farm Bill, which is reviewed every five years, has a two-pronged programme - food stamps for the poor and farm subsidies for the producers. The latest bill has passed the Senate but political partisanship has seen it fail to get through the House of Representatives.
The Republicans want to slash the food stamp programme while the Democrats want to cut the subsidies. As it is the latter which has an impact on New Zealand I will focus on the handouts.
This is how New York Times writer Mark Bittman describes them: "That the current system is a joke is barely arguable. Wealthy growers are paid even in good years, and may receive drought aid when there is no drought. It's become so bizarre that some homeowners lucky enough to have bought land that once grew rice now have subsidised lawns. Fortunes have been paid to Fortune 500 companies and even gentleman farmers like David Rockefeller."
Up to US$20 billion a year is handed out to farmers and landowners. Ted Turner of CNN fame gets a payout as one of the country's largest ranchers. In fact the wealthiest 10 per cent get 74 per cent of the payouts.
The average payout is US$445,000 per recipient. Wheat, corn, soybeans, rice and cotton are the crops that benefit the most. The smaller farmers who grow "healthy" food like vegetables and fruit get next to nothing. The handout for corn growers serves as a de facto subsidy to the beef industry, to the disadvantage of our farmers.
The US dairy industry also receives subsidies through the Milk Income Loss Contract Programme. This compensates dairy producers when domestic milk prices fall below a specified level.
Although the Farm Bill is stalled it will eventually pass through Congress with little or no change. The Republicans see any change in farmers' income as an effective tax rise to which they are totally opposed. Imagine poor Turner and Rockefeller receiving less income. How could they cope?
What I find most bizarre is that US farmers, who have this image of being freedom lovers with a loathing for pinko-socialist bureaucrats in Washington, accept handouts from the state. It seems so . . . un-American! Aren't they embarrassed?
When the Business Roundtable was in its prime it used to bring out zealous American academics that were so right wing they made Ayn Rand look like a raving Marxist. They lectured New Zealand on the benefits of the free market and getting government out of our lives.
I used to like interviewing them as I would always ask them what they thought of the billions of dollars of government handouts doled out to US farmers. They would smile nervously and say of course they didn't agree with them but it was all politics and nothing much could be done about it. What hypocrites! I always felt they would have been more useful staying home and preaching to their own politicians and farmers.
As dairy and beef exports are two of our most valuable, you have to wonder what is the value in seeking a free trade agreement with the US.
There is no sign their farmers or congressional sponsors want to end the handouts. Which makes you wonder what on earth those fine Republicans, Bing Crosby, who sang Don't Fence Me In, and the greatest cowboy of all, John Wayne, would have thought.
Can you imagine John Wayne supporting state handouts to his fellow cowpokes? You would think he would be more admiring of our self-reliant farmers in New Zealand who broke through the fence of government subsidies some decades ago.

Former Rice standouts Funmi Jimoh and Ari Ince fell short in their bids to earn places on the United States Track and Field squad that will compete in the London Olympics next month as the 2012 Olympic Trails concluded at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon on Sunday.
Jimoh, who was a member of the 2008 US Olympic Team and reached the finals of the long jump in Beijing, finished seventh in the 2012 competition with a best mark of 6.67m ( 21-10 ¾), which came on her first jump of the finals. The effort was fifth after the first round, before falling to seventh in the second round. She could not improve upon her mark in her final five jumps. Two-time world champion Brittney Reese, who was a teammate of Jimoh's in 2008, won the competition with a jump off 7.15m (23-5 ½) on her final attempt of the night.
Ince, who was a three-time Conference USA pole vault champion both indoors and outdoors in addition to throwing the javelin at Rice, finished 12th in her first Olympic Trails competition with a throw of 51.28m (168-3) after qualifying for the finals with a seventh-place effort of 53.25m (174-8).

Respect is not just a word, it's an entire concept.
OPINION: It's something that cannot be successfully redefined either. It is a black- and-white situation, you either respect Anzac Day and all it stands for, or you don't.
In this case, it's not the actual laws that govern commercial activity that need respect. It goes far deeper than that. The law reflects society's wish to do the right thing and stop for a morning to reflect on the sacrifice of those who fought for us. They deserve every bit of respect they get and it's not coincidental that the Anzac Day services, and in particular the dawn parades across the country, have never been more popular.
It's not coincidental that talk invariably surfaces around this time that the day would be a more suitable occasion to mark our national day - but that's another debate.
Sadly, that's why the protests by some bar and cafe owners that they did nothing wrong by opening before 1pm on Anzac Day have a hollow ring about them.
Citing a demand as a reason for opening is no defence. The law is quite specific, and Anzac Day is one of the few statutory holidays when most businesses must be shut.
It is pertinent to remember that there are only 3 1/2 days accorded such protection, which leaves 361 1/2 days of the year to open for business.
To cite the loophole that licensed premises can open and serve alcohol to those who eat food is legally correct, but it's also done with a wink and a nod in many instances. It is nothing more than a way around the law.
Section 14 of the Sale of Liquor Act is clear: "All bars and taverns must be closed unless open for the purposes of dining and all people in the premises were to be there for the purposes of dining."
The reality is many want to have a drink and if that means having to order some token food, so be it. That's why the words of Taranaki Hospitality New Zealand president David Stones were refreshingly forthright and right on the mark.
He accused fellow bar and tavern owners of being both greedy and disrespectful in opening on the morning of Anzac Day New Zealand.
"Shame on all you bars, taverns and restaurants who opened before 1pm," he said.
His sentiments would have struck a chord with many in the community. While we acknowledge the need for a vibrant and energetic hospitality sector in the CBD, and the Taranaki Daily News has long been an active supporter of the annual Halamoana Award, this was a morning to respect those who paid the ultimate price.
Even opening up an hour early to cater "for the lunchtime rush" is not acceptable.
Those brave men and women who fought to preserve our way of life didn't have the luxury of taking shortcuts.
They deserve better: Lest We Forget.

Redhawks roll into OVC play
Friday, December 28, 2012
The Southeast Missouri State men's basketball team has done plenty to please fourth-year coach Dickey Nutt so far this season.
Southeast, at 8-6, has clinched its first nonconference winning record since the 2003-04 season and also has its most nonconference victories since the 2000-01 squad went 10-4 in nonleague play.
"We're real proud of that. I feel like we're making progress," Nutt said. "I think we've done some good things so far but we've got a lot of improvement to make."
While what the Redhawks have accomplished to date is noteworthy, they begin the most important part of their season Saturday when Tennessee-Martin visits the Show Me Center for a noon Ohio Valley Conference opener.
"The conference season is what it's all about," said Nutt, whose squad will enter their OVC schedule with a winning record and a two-game winning streak for the first time during his tenure. "It's a brand new season for us. We look forward to it."
Southeast hopes to continue its upward surge after last year's breakthrough season that saw the Redhawks go 15-16 for their most victories since the 2004-05 team also won 15 games.
The Redhawks went 9-7 in league play, their fourth-place OVC tie marking their highest conference finish since the 1999-2000 NCAA tournament squad earned a share of the regular-season title.
Most people believe the Redhawks will keep moving forward as they were picked to finish second in the OVC West Division, behind only powerhouse Murray State.
"We think we can take another step forward," said Nutt, who originally inherited a program saddled with NCAA probation and coming off a 3-27 campaign that featured a winless OVC season. "I feel like we've got the talent to contend."
Saturday the Redhawks will contend with a UTM squad that is 3-9 and is riding a four-game losing streak.
The Skyhawks have finished in the OVC basement two of the past three years. They went 4-27 overall and 0-16 in league play last season.
UTM has beaten just one Division I team this year, Kennesaw State. Only two of its nine defeats have been closer than 13 points.
But where some people might see a pushover Nutt sees a dangerous opponent, one that returned its top two scorers and lost by just two points to Southeast a year ago in Martin, Tenn.
"You can throw the records out the window," said Nutt, whose squad beat the Skyhawks by 30 points in Cape Girardeau last season. "You can't take anybody for granted. You can't look past anybody. I think our players know that."
Myles Taylor, UTM's 6-foot-7, 250-pound sophomore forward, ranks sixth in the OVC in scoring and rebounding with averages of 16.4 points and 7.1 boards per game.
Taylor was the 2011-12 OVC freshman of the year after averaging 13.7 points and 5.2 rebounds.
Mike Liabo, a 6-6 junior wing, is averaging 14 points. He leads UTM with 28 3-pointers and is shooting 34.6 percent from beyond the arc.
Liabo paced the Skyhawks last year with a 15.2 scoring average.
"Taylor is really a good inside player and Liabo has hurt us every year," Nutt said.
Saturday's game marks the first of three straight OVC home dates for Southeast.
The Redhawks host Austin Peay Thursday before their Jan. 5 showdown with Murray State that will be nationally televised on ESPNU.
