Skip to comments.Haley Barbour: Tea Party must stick with GOP (Barbour says vote GOP or else)
Posted on 06/18/2011 8:14:58 AM PDT by rabscuttle385
NEW ORLEANS -- Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour told a crowd of conservative activists at the Republican Leadership Conference Friday that they should not "get hung up on purity" when it comes to the Republican nominee for president.
"In politics, purity is a loser," said Barbour, a well-connected GOP insider who earlier this year decided to forgo a presidential run in 2012.
Barbour said that this was the first time in his decades in politics that people are regularly telling him that "I'm afraid my children and grandchildren are not going to inherent the same country I inherited."
"Those are the stakes for this election," said Barbour.
That's why, he argued, that the Tea Party cannot effectively serve as a third party, splitting votes on the right.
President Obama "can't lose if we split the conservative vote," Barbour said, adding that "the left is dying for the Tea Party or the whatever party to become a third party."

He's got it exactly backwards.
The GOP must stick with the Tea Party.
True. The problem isn't the Tea Party. It's the RINO's posing as Republicans.
Hey Haley, why don't you tell the establishment that they should adhere more to the constitution?
If Romney wins the nomination, I will vote for him. But until that point, I will fight for the conservative. And the MSM should stay the hell out of it.
Excuse me but it's not a split of the conservtive vote. It's a split of the conservative vote from the RINO vote. These idiots are gonna make me vote for Obama if they keep this crap up.
At the very least, Haley is getting the cart before the horse. Let the primary process play out. Focus on holding honest primary elections.
The GOP must stay with the Tea Party.
Like the Democrats, with their Party controlled by leftists, the GOP is controlled by the mushy Republicans. Give the GOP a real leader and the tea Party will back him/her.
Chihuhua Mitt:
Now that my RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE
is law, and our beloved Obama has shown himself to be just wonderful,
supporting like me, global warming, ethanol supports, IAG/Sharia,
and fascism-by-stoke-of-our-pen,
a little self examination is in order
for you FReepers and Tea Party peasants.
You should now ask yourself
'if I had spent my time promoting
RomneyCare and Mitt Romney a lot earlier (like Ms. Bachmann),
could not I have garnered more support
of both our new national heroes,
pRes_ _ent Obama and Mitt Romney, today ?'
The Tea Party should stick with the GOP. The GOP should stick with the Tea Party. Works for me.
"Hes got it exactly backwards.
The GOP must stick with the Tea Party"
Exactly. In 2010 the establishment GOP had no campaign or message for the mid-terms. If it wasn't for the Tea Party, the GOP wouldn't have the House. Also, they went along kicking and screaming all the way when their establishment RINOs went down. They were only too happy to blame the Tea Party for it instead of looking in the mirror.
Then they promptly gave in to Barry at the tail end of last year like the bunch of losers they were.
Thank you. That was my first thought. Really, Barbour? The Tea Party needs to adhere to GOP, really????? NO
"If Romney wins the nomination, I will vote for him"
I won't vote for Romney. He's a lying, slimy weasel and not much better than Obama.
In fact, Im starting to think that Im inclined to vote for Obama if Romney is nominated. Obama purposefully put us in this economic mess with his rampant and deliberately destructive socialism, as well as all of his other deliberately destructive policies, so I say let Obama finish the job! Let him and his damned Socialist Democrat party own their legacy of destruction forever. Let the people of this country make no mistake about what Democrats are all about and what they really do when they rule. Let there be no excuses!
Because if Romney is elected instead, the country is still going to go down in flames, but the climax of destruction will occur on Romneys watch, allowing the Marxist media swine to convince the naïve public that its all the Republicans fault.
However, if Obama were to be re-elected, then in future elections (at least a generation or two), the choices should be clear based on the utter destruction wrought by eight years of Obama and the Socialist Democrats. Hopefully after eight years of economic devastation our people would have learned their lessons and would choose prosperity over tyranny, at least for a while longer.
And what if the people want even more of the Socialist Democrats after eight years of terror and destruction? Then unfortunately for we who work and think and know better, the majority will deserve the government they select. But what about you and I, you say? Well, it would be a good time to start a new country within this country, I think. It would be time to select a few good states and migrate there en masse and take them over at the ballot box. It would be time to go Galt.
FU GOP You are not calling the shots. The tea party will decide whom they vote for, if some of them are GOP endorsed as well as Tea Party then count yourself lucky.
The lack of purity in the GOP is exactly why the haters are in office. Don't make me hold my nose again voting for RINO losers.
Exactly! The GOP keep pushing RINOs on us and telling us we must vote for said RINOs or the evil dems will win. How's about sticking with conservatives?
"Hes got it exactly backwards.
The GOP must stick with the Tea Party."
I warned people about Haley Barbour when he was planning to run for POTUS. He was relatively conservative as governor of Missouri, because it's a conservative state.
But above all, he is the ultimate party insider. Karl Rove in a cape. He was running things when nobody ever heard of Karl Rove. His first loyalty is to the party, the pork, and the perks.
Could it be Gov. Barbour is being diplomatic in speaking to those conservatives who take the attitude of I'm voting for *candidate name* regardless of who wins the GOP nomination, even if that person is a conservative?
Just what I'd expect to hear from a pure RINO.
You make some good points, but the MSM will brainwash the sheeple into believing that the evil repubs caused the damage, regardless.
Who got all of the credit when clintoon was prez and the pubbies owned congress?
Barbour said that this was the first time in his decades in politics that people are regularly telling him that "I'm afraid my children and grandchildren are not going to inherent the same country I inherited."
That seems to be "Cause & Effect" Barbour. Wake up.
I will not vote for Romney. A difference with no distinction is not change. Romney is a smilier Obama, nothing less.
Absolutely right on.
Then work for conservatives and support conservatives, Haley. We are no longer on the GOP reservation.
That's because the GOP never embraced Reaganism. The Bush wing of the GOP pushed the Reaganites out of the party. Barber is facing the wrong direction when he's preaching about unity.
Ping-a-ling to a repeat of yesterday's post.
The republican party may join us at any time...
I´m a conservative first.
In a contest between Obama and Romney, the choice is do you take the Democrat or the Communist...
RINOs, "softer-kinder-conservatism", weak-kneed conservatives, Constitutional-tinkerers, and flip-floppers are all LOSING party traits. Regan-esque Conservatism wins. Ronaldus Magnus went from being a Dem to a Rep and was a winner. Court Jester Romney is the best Democrat in the race, he is DOA against The Won, and Romney will be a LOSER. The GOP needs to lead from the front, not follow the crowd made up of right-minded Conservatives, TEA Party regulars, and fed-up independents.
Man up and follow the ladies, Haley. They are the only ones, so far, that "get it". Maybe Romney needs a skirt to help gain his elusive credibility.
And so it begins. The mantra that we must follow the GOP boys in their matching belts and shoes "in order to be saved". Screw that. I had my very last vote extorted that way in '08. Not again.
That said, I'd like to let all RINOs know that there are different levels of support.
Tea Partiers are not going to be showing the kind of enthusiasm you've seen for someone they are holding their collective noses to support. There would be pictures of tremendous rallies broadcast across the airwaves. They won't be burning up the phone lines to get out the vote. They won't be lighted up the social networks with their support.
If anyone in the GOP establishment is asking themselves, "Where are they going to go?"
Maybe the answer will be, "How about the movie theaters?"
Who knows, maybe Atlas Shrugged might be playing in some second-run houses, which would be preferable to a two-bit RINO.
In 2010, here in Florida's 5th district, we had a Good Old Boy Sherriff that was hand picked by Queen Duchess Ginny Brown-Waite as our Republican candidate. I strongly supported the TEA Party, constitutionalist republican in the primary. But the Washington establishment spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to defeat him. When it came time for the General election, I left my Congressional Representative line blank. My choices were a democRAT who said he supported Obamacare, though it needed a few tweaks, and a Sherriff who nearly doubled the budget and size of his department in less than 10 years. I want a smaller government, and someone who can make do with less. There was no choice for that.
If the total federal spending as authorized and initially passed by Congress is lower in FY 2012 than it was in FY2010, and if it's lower still in FY 2013, then I might consider supporting this guy for re-election. If Federal spending increases, I'm looking for an alternative that will actually reduce the size of the Federal budget.
I wasn't encouraged when our guy supported the Ryan budget plan, a plan to continue spending more than is collected in revenues for at least 20 more years.
BTW, any Republican who voted for that plan, and then doesn't vote to raise the debt ceiling enough to cover 20+ more years of deficits is a hypocrite.
All the GOP stands for (by their actions) is accumulating power and money for the GOP and their pet projects, and preventing the Dems from accumulating power and money for their pet projects. Until there is action to reduce the size and scope of the Federal government, and to start returning things to within the actual limitations of the United States Constitution, this nation is already lost.
I'm not confident that the GOP can make a difference. The TEA party could, especially by holding the GOP to that smaller government, constitutional agenda. Unfortunately, the GOP establishment and leadership refuses to move in that direction, and wants to fight the TEA party at every opportunity. If the GOP chases away the TEA partiers to a third party, that will hurt the GOP even more. But the TEA partiers need to hold to their principles and tell the GOP, we aren't voting for you because you aren't Democrats, we're voting for our principles. If you don't deliver on those principles, you don't get our vote.
Any chance you could post a link to the previous posting(s) of this?

I just hope the Tea Partiers stay leaderless and truly grassroots.
I think the problem lies with the Republican establishment who chooses who our primary candidates will be.
Dee Dee Scazzafava was a great example of what I am talking about.
We have no power when it comes to who they choose to support.
I should think it's the other way around. The Republicans had better stick with the Tea Party. The RNC doesn't recognize who's in the drivers seat now. After last November, they should have awakened — but no. If they don't rouse to the reality, they'll get a RUDE awakening soon enough — and the fault will lie at their feet, not the Tea Party.
I can indeed.
Thanks for the ping!
I've said before, the best way for conservatives to make a difference is to all register and vote Democrat, then demand their own part of the established spoils system. We have a one-party state, anyway - why vote for the Washington Generals of politics when you can back the Harlem Globetrotters and make them do more of your bidding than the Generals ever could? :)
Got news for Haley, the GOP better get right with us or the GOP will be history. THEY WORK FOR US!
Perry, Newt, Trump, or Romney are not going to save you. Don't be fooled like so many here at the FR.
Isn't the question really, if a conservative is nominated, will the establishment go third party, or will they get behind the nominee?

6% drop
Easy, 7% of fund is Apple. Apple took a dump.
It was due to dividend and capital gain distribution. It is now showing on my account.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Apparently, you and i are the only two so far that are puzzled by a 6% drop in one day -- in a mutual fund.
I belive there was a capital gains distribution made, however I have not seen any additional shares added to may account yet.

Letters to the Editors
We don't get many "Letters to the Editors," even as email. Between article comments, sharing tools and social media, fewer magazines do these days—we get notes from PR agents, industry contacts and the occasional complaint, but letters actually discussing or responding to the articles are rare. In fact, I used to work for a magazine where we perhaps, may have … ahem … "made them up" for comedic purposes.
The following letters are not made up. Herschell Gordon Lewis and Rich Cress both had some things to say about some recent items in our magazine and e-newsletter. Do you agree with them? Let us know in the comments, or send me a letter!
Calling 'BS' on Video Views
At the bottom of your Editor's Notes pages in January [the DataBytes sidebar], is the statistic "11 billion online video ads were viewed in October 2012 …"
I say BS. I frequently am assaulted by "sniped" videos while I'm online. Videos that I have zero interest in, and delete as soon as possible. I'm sorry, but how about a statistic that tells us how much of the videos were watched? And, were we allowed to delete right away? Or did we have to watch all 20 seconds before being able to view what we really wanted to see?
In print, you can't claim that every ad in an issue was viewed—although perhaps we should, because if we used the same measurement, if a reader flips through an issue, he/she sees (views) every ad. Of course, they only read six to eight to 10 of them, but we can claim that they viewed 100 percent of them!

Black Diamond Ultra Light "Couloir" Harness
It used to be hard to find ultra lightweight harnesses for backcountry skiing and ski alpinism. Most such gear was made for the rock climbing industry, and designers had trouble looking beyond cliff work to the needs of moderate glacier travel and such. Things got better (for example, with offerings from CAMP such as their Coral, 12 ounces, and Alp 95, 4 ounces).
With the addition of Black Diamond Couloir harness (8.2 ounces) to this category, along with other brands/models such as Arcteryx A300a (10.5 oz) your lightweight harness choices are now a veritable cornucopia of strapology.
I'm liking the Black Diamond Couloir harness. For the call of nature or exit/entry with skis the diaper style leg loops drop completely down with the click of two buckles and opening of your waist carabiner (if you set it up that way, rather than threading the waist belt though the belay loop).
Any harness with buckles on the leg loops can be set up for hygiene needs or skis-on-feet, but the ones with tailored leg loops seem to tangle and confuse me more than the the Couloir's simple leg loops, which are just a basic strip of webbing that can be easily pulled up and tucked away when necessary.
Couloir harness storage size is amazingly small, keep it in a jacket pocket! 12kN rated belay and haul loops. 8.2 ounces real-world weight checked at WildSnow HQ, could be reduced somewhat by cutting off a few gear loops and such. I'll probably remove the belay loop as well, since it'll be replaced by my locking biner. In all, a good choice for moderate alpinism from Europe to Denali

Fantastically minimal. Now, remind the fellow in the photo it is best to model any harness with the waistbelt tail double backed.
January 25th, 2010 9:54 am
Yet another Whillans spin-off. Note that, for all harnesses of this type, to have a true drop-seat, you should tie into the carabiner so using two lockers is recommended. Personally I prefer the no-thread buckle and greater comfort of the CAMP Coral for only 3 ounces more (better gear loops too).
January 25th, 2010 11:18 am
Looks an awful lot like an Alpine Bod with gear loops. I'll have to see how much mine weighs for comparison. A classic design and plenty comfortable as long as you're not hanging in it all day.
January 25th, 2010 11:24 am
It seemed fairly different than an Alpine Bod in terms of webbing sizes and so forth, but pretty similar in design. Agree, you wouldn't want to hang in it all day. Totally not designed for that.
Mark W
January 25th, 2010 12:26 pm
Clyde, many climbers now probably don't know who Whillians is, but your comparison of this harness to one of his designs is noteworthy. By the way, this harness looks a good bit trimmer than my bod harness.
Louie Dawson
January 25th, 2010 11:17 pm
yeah, the alpine bod is quite a bit heavier, 14 oz according to BD. The couilor definitely has narrower webbing than the alpine bod.
January 26th, 2010 4:32 am
It's nice to see the weights of everything go waaaaaaaaaaay down.
Another option for harnesses that very similar from Mammut is their Alpine Light model at:
The additional innovation with Mammut's design is that the main buckle is quick disconnect where you don't even need to re-adjust the waist each time you put it on.

First time post here. Thanks for all the great info. Just an observation on the Coulor vs the Bod. I have tried both and decided on the Bod because of the location of the gear loops. The Couloir only has two loops and they hold the beeners & prusiks too far forward so that they get in the way of pockets and become annoying (to me at least) while skiing. The Bod has 4 loops and the rear two keep the gear slightly behind my hips and out of the way while going downhill.
December 13th, 2011 11:14 pm
I just got this harness. Looks good. But after spending many years rock climbing in a Petzl, and many years skiing in the old Camp that closed with a locking biner; I had to double check the "double back" buckle. This harness needs to be double backed and it's NOT on the photo.
C'mon guys.
December 14th, 2011 7:15 am
Haven't used that harness for a while, but if the buckle double-back is mandatory then my bad and I'll fix photo. Will check today. Thanks for mentioning. I saw that the first comment also mentions this. I was probably traveling or something at the time and never saw that comment. Lou
Got something to say? Please do so.

DAILY NEWS: Three Iranian Films -- "The Circle," "Smell of Camphor," and "Djomeh" -- Find Theatrical Homes as New York Opens Tonight
by Eugene Hernandez/indieWIRE
(indieWIRE/ 9.22.00) -- The strength of contemporary Iranian cinema has been
acknowledged as a trio of movies from the fall festival circuit have found
theatrical distribution. Three Iranian films, two of which are screening at
The New York Film Festival, which opens tonight at Lincoln Center, have been
acquired. Jafar Panahi's "The Circle," Bahman Farmanara's "Smell of Camphor, Fragrance of Jasmine" and Hassan Yektapanah's "Djomeh" each secured a deal this week on the eve of the New York festival.
Panahi's "The Circle" has had an acclaimed festival run this fall, debuting
in Venice where it won The Golden Lion and the critics prize. Its run
continued in Toronto and the film comes to Lincoln Center on Tuesday. A New
York Film Festival announcement yesterday indicated that the movie has been
acquired by Winstar Cinema and the deal was confirmed by a film press rep
late yesterday.
Meanwhile, Bahman Farmanara's "Smell of Camphor, Fragrance of Jasmine" was
bought by New Yorker Films. In a conversation with indieWIRE yesterday, New
Yorker's Susan Wrubel confirmed the deal and indicated that the movie will

I managed to get my hair done about once every 6 weeks and I am going ato start getting regular pedicures. I am to the point in my life where I need to take care of me first. I usually have a fair sum of money left over once I pay the basics.
I have nothing left over to spend on what I want. It drives me crazy because SD/CD is a drunk that spends all his money on booze and does not contribute a penny to his daughter.
Well, right now I'm living on my GI Bill and drill pay (I'm Army). Not getting any financial support from my daughter's dad. I'm going to school. I take Taekwondo classes. My mom & I rent an apartment so my rent is only $350. After all that I have a few hundred to get what I want. But I put school on my credit card SO I put my extra towards that. I have my bank account set up to take $15 a week from my checking & put it in my savings. So I'm building up my savings account too.

A woman has been charged in the death of a teenage pedestrian she hit with her car after investigators found she had a blood-alcohol content more than four times the legal limit and marijuana in her system.
Tabitha Walters, 33, of 278 Winthrop Road, New Whiteland, has been charged with one felony count of causing death when operating a vehicle while intoxicated. When the accident happened in May, Walters was out of jail on bond after being charged with a misdemeanor count of driving while intoxicated in October, according to court documents and a news release from the Johnson County Prosecutor's Office.
Johnson County Prosecutor Brad Cooper also will request Walters' bond from her October arrest be revoked. If she's convicted on both the felony and misdemeanor charges, she would face between 6½ and 23 years in jail, Cooper said.
"She seems to be quite a menace at this point in time," Cooper said.
Walters was driving south on Emerson Avenue north of Tracy Road when she hit 19-year-old Tyler Deputy about 5:40 p.m. on May 11. Investigators know Walters was at a bar and had paid her bill at 5 p.m. and had a blood-alcohol content of 0.37 percent — more than four times the legal limit — after the accident. Toxicology reports also show she had marijuana in her system, a Johnson County Sheriff's Office report said. Deputy died later that day at a hospital.
Fatal crash investigations sometimes takes weeks or months as investigators need to wait for all blood work, interviews and any additional follow-up work to be complete, Johnson County Sheriff Doug Cox and Cooper said.
Deputy, who was engaged and had a 15-month-old daughter, was making a three-mile walk from his apartment to see his father when he was hit.
Three witnesses who saw the crash told deputies they saw Deputy walking south along the southbound shoulder of Emerson Avenue just before the accident. Deputy had started to cross the street when Walters' car crossed the center line of Emerson Avenue and hit him. The speed limit along the road was 40 mph, and Walters' car didn't slow down, the report said.
Deputies could smell alcohol coming from Walters and her car. She was taken to Community Hospital South in Indianapolis, where she was treated for neck pain. Investigators drew blood for toxicology tests at the hospital. Officials also verified that Walters hadn't been given any narcotics or medication in the ambulance or at the hospital that would alter the results, the report said.
The results showed her blood-alcohol content and that Walters likely had smoked marijuana from 20 hours before to the time the accident, Cooper said.
Investigators also interviewed the owner and bartenders of an Indianapolis bar Walters had been to the day of the crash, who told them Walters had been served alcohol up to about 5 p.m., the report said.
Laurie Campbell, Deputy's mother, said her family has
been anxiously waiting to see whether Walters would be arrested.
"It's about time," she said.

BMI View: Persistent uncertainties in end-product demand, high costs , and scarce funding are likely to keep growth in the Australian mining industry subdued in the coming quarters. Weak performance in new orders and labour market rigidities suggest that profit margins for manufacturing and services sectors will narrow further, and the deteriorating outlook for the job market suggests that a correction in house prices is on the cards. Given the weakness in the private sector, the government's attempt to boost economic activity through increased spending in education and healthcare are likely to be insufficient. Thus, we forecast real GDP growth to slow to 2.1% in 2013 and further to 1.8% in 2014, versus a growth rate of 3.6% recorded in 2012.
A growing number of external and domestic signs point to tough times for the Australian economy in the quarters ahead, including a growing amount of evidence of job losses and capital expenditure cuts. These trends are in line with our expectations for economic activity to start slowing in H213. Indeed, statistics have begun to reflect this slowdown, with the unemployment rate in March inching up to 5.6% in seasonally-adjusted terms, the worst reading in four years as the economy lost approximately 36,000 jobs compared to the month before. We expect these negative trends to accelerate as we enter into H213 and persist in 2014, as the economy struggles to rebalance away from overinvested industries such as mining and real estate. As such, we expect real GDP growth to slow to 2.1% in 2013, and subsequently to 1.8% in 2014.
|Faltering Chinese Economy Bodes Poorly For Mineral Exports
|Australia - 12-Month Moving Sum Of Non-Rural Exports, % chg y-o-y
Uncertain Demand Leading Miners To Rein In Investments And Hiring
The downbeat outlook of the mining sector is clearly shown in the growing trend of miners cutting capital expenditures and jobs to control costs in view of funding scarcity ( see, Miners Signal Caution Amidst Rising Debt Woes, April 15 ) and high costs. Furthermore, the increasingly uncertain future of demand for their end-products such as iron ore and other industrial metals is likely to lead firms to delay plans for expansion or hiring. The decline in end-user demand as seen in the fall in the new export orders sub-index in China's official Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) in April will likely lead miners to remain cautious.
Closely related up and downstream industries (such as mining equipment makers and mining services) are likely to be affected by the downbeat business sentiment amongst miners. Indeed, companies from these segments, such as Asciano, a bulk haulage firm, Atlas Copco and Sandvik, both mining equipment makers, have publicly revised down their expectations for new orders and earnings for 2013 to 2015 over Q213. Given our expectations for the Chinese economy to struggle in H213, we expect the trend of declining growth in mining and related sectors to persist.
|Plunging Deeper Into The Red
|Australia - Performance Of Manufacturing And Services Index
Manufacturing And Services Offer Little Reprieve
The latest reading from the Australian Industry Group's performance index for the manufacturing sector fell further 36.7 in April, close to the lows recorded in May 2009. The new orders sub-index suffered declines, reaching a five-year low, while persistent rises in wage and input costs imply further margin compression as output prices continued to fall. The dip in the performance of the services sector in April to 44.1 from 49.6 in March erased the gains made over the past three months, and the narrowing profit margins suffered by the sector also suggests that businesses are likely to cut back.
Given the minimum wage standards, union actions and other rules that increase the rigidity of the Australian labour market, making it more difficult for the market to adjust to a lower demand for labour, we believe that these wage pressures are unlikely to dissipate, and thus expect businesses to cope by reducing employment. Together with the job shedding by the mining sector, the persistent we maintain our expectations for the unemployment rate to reach 6.0% by end-2013.
Shaky Fundamentals In The Housing Market Suggests Price Declines On The Way
We believe the uncertainties surrounding the various sectors will begin to shake investors' optimistic outlook and the deteriorating outlook for employment is likely to push households to start deleveraging. The subsequent lack of housing demand is likely to lead to a correction in house prices as new supply from property developers continue to come online. Indeed, despite stamp duty cuts from the state governments and interest rate cuts from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), annual new home sales remain near 16-year lows according to the recent Housing Industry Association report. Boral , a building materials firm echoed our downbeat outlook for the housing market, and recently announced further cuts to their workforce.
Moreover, the recently released 2010-11 report from the Australian Taxation Office showed an increase in the number of negatively-geared property investors (i.e. rental income does not cover the interest costs and other maintenance-related costs). We see growing risks that house price declines could lead to a rise in homes with negative equity, and together with the negative cashflow that property investors are facing, could force home owners and property investors to default. This trend would be further exacerbated as house price falls and results in more owners defaulting and the forced sale could push prices lower. Given our expectations for the Australian job market to see further deterioration in H213, we see few fundamental factors supporting further house price increases, but rather see a more probable case for the housing market to suffer declines similar to the other industries.
|Little Room To Grow
|Australia - Housing Debt, As % Of Disposable Income
Fiscal Stimulus Unlikely To Replicate 2008/09 Boost
With major sectors of the economy on track for a slowdown as the federal elections take the stage in September, we believe that the ruling Australian Labor Party (ALP) will attempt to engineer a fiscal stimulus, in hopes to reignite growth as in 2008/09. However, given the overextended household balance sheets, encouraging further investment into the housing market is unlikely to produce the same effect as fewer households are likely to participate. Indeed, with households' housing debt remaining at 133.2% of disposable income in Q412, close to the peak of 135.0% recorded in Q310, the government has instead turned its attention to boost investments in other sectors such as education and healthcare (through the Gnoski reforms and National Disability Insurance Scheme). However, the benefits from investment into these sectors are more gradual and long-term in nature, and as such, are unlikely to provide the same boost in economic activity as that which resulted from the fiscal stimulus in 2008/09.

Lynn Babington, RN, PhD, FAAN, professor and dean of Fairfield Universitys School of Nursing, hasnt been on the job long, but she is working on big changes to the schools MSN program.
Backed by a $200,000 grant from the Kanarek Family Foundation, Babington and others at Fairfield are revamping the MSN program to better prepare nurse leaders for the demands created by healthcare reform. The project, "Innovation in the Masters of Science in Nursing Program: A Global Approach," will expand collaborations with the schools internal and external partners.
"The reason we are upgrading our masters program is to be more innovative to meet the challenges of the current healthcare environment," Babington said. "Those challenges include the real need for change agents, the need for advanced nurses with a clinical background but also with a strong background in business, finance and informatics to really use the systems to help lead the changes that will be coming about."
Babington, who became dean June 1, said Fairfield is working to improve cooperation with its external partners — hospitals and institutions where students are sent for clinical placements — as well as its partners on campus, which include the Dolan School of Business, the College of Arts & Sciences, the Graduate School of Education & Allied Professions and even the School of Engineering.
"What were really talking about is developing systems to gather the right information to make decisions related to how care is organized," Babington said. "Were examining the quality outcomes as well as the financial outcomes of care delivery and care models, and some of that does come from a systems engineering background."
The project is based on the Institute of Medicines 2010 report on the future of nursing. Babington said one of the main recommendations of the IOM report is to improve the quantity and quality of nurses, from the bedside to the boardroom. "With the rapid changes unfolding due to healthcare reform, nursing is positioned at the forefront to take on an important leadership role," Robin Kanarek, RN, BSN, chair of the school of nursings advisory board and president of the Kanarek Family Foundation, said in a news release. "This project will prepare nurses for the tremendous opportunities in healthcare and at all levels."
Babington said Fairfields collaboration with its external partners will go beyond gathering input. She envisions students working closely with a variety of professionals in complicated, real-world settings — what she calls "immersion experiences."
"They might work with the hospital business development person as they are moving forward with buying up primary care practices in the area," Babington said. "They might work with the quality management person as theyre unfolding evidence-based practice protocols in the hospital. They might be working with an insurance company as they coordinate these accountable care organizations as ways of paying for care delivered."
Most of the students currently in Fairfields MSN program are clinically focused, Babington said, and the changes are designed to attract a different group of students focused more on systems.
More electives will be available next year, Babington said, when Fairfield hopes to have about 125 students in the MSN program, up from the current 94.

Update on Ma.theresaLois Wayne is 16 years old and is the second of two children in the family. Her mother Maria Theresa supports the family through her ready-to-wear clothing sales business in the Philippines.
Lois Wayne is studying for the degree Bachelor of Library and Information Science. She is currently in the first year of this three-and-a-half-year course.
Lois Wayne is borrowing 23,000 PHP to pay the tuition fees of the second semester of the school year 2013-14.
When she graduates, Lois Wayne plans to get a job of her own.
Previous Loan DetailsMa.Theresa is 48 years old and married with two children, one of whom is in school. She is a very hardworking entrepreneur. She has a clothing sales business in the Philippines. She has been in this business for three years. She requested a PHP 21,000 loan amount through NWTF to purchase more ... More from Ma.theresa's previous loan »
Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is part of NWTF's higher education program, designed to serve students who otherwise would not be able to attend college. Under the program, children of existing NWTF microfinance clients are able to take a loan to support their college education or technical/vocational training. Following graduation, the student may have better opportunities that ultimately benefit the entire family. NWTF has designed this loan product to have a lower interest rate than typical microfinance loans.
About Negros Women for Tomorrow FoundationNegros Women for Tomorrow Foundation, Inc. (NWTF) is a non-governmental organization established with an aim to help men and women achieve self-sufficiency, particularly in the province of Negros Occidental's low-income communities. The organization offers its clients a wide variety of products, including loans for micro-entrepreneurs, hospital income benefits, life insurance, accidental death benefits and more. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand the reach of these products to low-income urban and rural communities.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

I am shopping for my first recumbent.
About 2 years ago, I took short test-rides on the BikeE (all models), Cannondale Easy Rider, Sun EZ-1, and a Rans Wave and Tailwind. From those rides, I decided I really wanted a recumbent. My favorite was the Cannondale Easy Rider, but it was too expensive. I've saved a little more money, and am now seriously shopping. But the market has changed somewhat in the last couple of years...
My wife was intrigued with the 'bents, and wants me to get a CLWB that she can ride when I'm not riding it.
I'm torn - should I stick with an entry-level bike, or purchase a more expensive, higher quality one?
My wife and I aren't interested in speed or performance, just comfort, recreation, and fitness.
At this time, I am considering a number of bikes: Cannondale 'Bent I/II, Sun EZ-1SC & EZ Sport, Maxarya Ray-1/Rar-1X, Cycle Genius, and (someday?!) Big-Ha.
Is there a decent entry-level bike that will fit both me and my wife? She is 5'3" (120 lbs) and I'm 6'0" (225 lbs). I ride faster than she does, so she doesn't think she will want to ride with me. One bike that we can both use (that's easily adjustable) would be ideal right now. My wife will end up adopting it later, when I upgrade to a higher level bike.
Any feedback from those of you who have ridden this "newbie" path before? Suggestions and advice are very welcome!
Thanks! =)

Yesterday I have configured new network Mikrotik Wireless Router. Currently I require knowing how to configuring it like a VPN Server. If somebody can assist me, it is type of urgent, and I would understand it extremely much.
Yesterday I have configured new network Mikrotik Wireless Router. Currently I require knowing how to configuring it like a VPN Server. If somebody can assist me, it is type of urgent, and I would understand it extremely much.
The solutions that you can take are many and range from simple server equipped with open source software, expensive appliances in HA redundancy: the choice depends on the costs, integration with existing infrastructure, the bandwidth required by the workload and criticality of the link, just to name a few factors that influence the choice to trust the system.
Your current routers do probably not support VPN. It must therefore be replaced by special routers with the ability to accept and create VPN connections. We suggest the model Linksys WRV54G. You will find this model in most computer stores (Micro Bytes , usually offers good prices). The first step is to connect the routers and make them work normally. Make sure to update Routers with latest firmware.
Normally it's possible, you need a router "VPN Passthrough" But it is especially problematic NAT. But it is often galley; I have yet to try these days with a PPTP VPN, the simplest theory, and connected to an ADSL modem, no problem, and not the router. Yet I open the necessary ports, NAT translations is good, but I did not happen (for now, I do not give up the case). Theoretically there is a NAT-T (NAT Traversal) which should allow the VPN through NAT, but it is not obvious.
The configuration does not make sense. With the same devices, and then with the same budget (1 + 1 add-in network hub), you can create a configuration identical to that of my scheme in which all PC + interface Server's private network, are connected to the Hub , while only the public interface of the server is connected directly to the router. For clients not change anything or continue to browse the Internet and use e-mail.
On the client side you only need to change the default gateway by entering the IP address of the Private Server.
On the server side the only difference that you make with respect to the procedure outlined in the tutorial is to select the option "Access VPN and NAT" instead of "Remote Access".

Australia is known for having some of the most vast environments, and the Northern Territory represents this claim to fame faithfully. There's an epic scope to Northern Territory, one that is not realized anywhere else on earth. You can travel the great outdoors and go to places like the well-known Uluru rock, or even the Nourlangie Rock in Kakadu National Park. Mount Sonder is the second highest mountain range next to Mount Zeil, both of which are worth visiting. Truly, Northern Territory is an outdoors adventurer's dream come true.

Las Bolivia...BoliviaFoodFunding via Fundación Pro Mujer
Suma Sartasiñani Group
Ines got involved with Pro Mujer a year ago through the invitation from a friend who was already a member. She currently owns her own business selling crocheted goods and sweaters. Ines is married and has five children. She opened this business own her own. She already knew how to crochet, so she turned it into a business.
This loan will help Ines by increasing her capital so that she can buy wool from some distributors that she can later use to make goods to sell. This type of work allows her to keep up with her studies. Ines likes working with Pro Mujer because of the health services it offers.
El crédito que sacaran beneficiara a pequeñas microempresarias donde la señora Ines es integrante, ella indica que hace un año que integra Pro Mujer, ingresando por la invitación de una amiga que es socia de la institución. En la actualidad ella tiene un negocio de tejido y venta de chompas; da a conocer que este negocio lo emprendió por iniciativa propia, ya que contaba con esa habilidad del tejido y lo volvió negocio.
El crédito que ahora sacará es para el aumento de capital (compra de lana) que adquirirá de las empresas distribuidoras y posteriormente a la elaboración lo comercializará en su espacio de venta. Esta forma de trabajo le permite generar recursos para mantener sus estudios pues ella es casada y tiene cinco hijos.
Cuando se le consulta qué le gusta de Pro Mujer, ella responde que le gusta el área de salud.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

DIY – How to Make a Spiral Lemon Zest Garnish
A beautiful lemon spiral is a great garnish for cocktails like the French 75 or any cocktail that you want to add a little lemon oil to. You can also do this with oranges for cocktails that call for an orange twist. It takes a bit of practice but, as you'll see in this video, it's not that hard. All you'll need besides lemon is a citrus zester, also called a channel knife.

Chevrolet Camaro Road Test
Engine and suspension shine, but some packaging shortcomings continue
We purchased a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS to test this reborn muscle car. Sticker price started at $41,300 and rose to $47,020 as we piled on options, such as magnetic ride control, power sunroof, dual-mode exhaust, and Chevrolet MyLink audio system. Appearance extras further padded the Monroney, such as the Garnet Red Tintcoat paint, black Chevrolet emblems, and 20-inch black wheels. But those cosmetics add both class and attitude.
Likewise, the Camaro vanquishes the notion that muscle cars are designed purely for running in a straight line. Here is a car that loves twisties, rewarding the driver with a planted body and quick turn-in response. The steering is sharp with good feedback.
Three engines are offered, including a turbocharged 275-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder and 335-hp, 3.6-liter V6. The SS packs a Corvette-sourced 6.2-liter V8 with 455 horsepower and 455 lb.-ft. of torque. As the horsepower wars wage on over the decades, today's Camaro V8 bests the base eight-cylinder offerings from its crosstown rivals, Dodge Challenger and Ford Mustang.
The power is put to great effect with the six-speed manual in our test car. The shifts are swift, aided by short throws. Clutch is relatively low effort, making driving in traffic easier than with some other high-horsepower cars. Active rev matching, controlled via steering wheel paddles, can help transform a casual driver into a pro, while enhancing the soundtrack in the process.
Copious power is readily available, even without chasing the right cog for the situation. Tip into the throttle, and the Camaro pulls fiercely from nearly any gear. Downshift, and it becomes a veritable road rocket¿as one would expect from the most powerful Camaro SS in Chevrolet history. Around town, the Camaro has a muted rumble from the exhaust that turns to a roar under hard acceleration.
Dynamically, the Camaro is a real delight. However, the packaging still suffers from overt flaws that may turn away some buyers. Visibility remains atrocious, making it hard to see stoplights, to view cars at its flanks, and to spot obstacles when backing up. Narrow side glass makes the car feel as if the roof has been crushed.
The driver's space is decidedly intimate for a sizeable car. The bolstered sport seats are comfortable, but we were dismayed that there was no lumbar adjustment in a car of this heady price. Further, the driver's right leg is crammed against the transmission tunnel. And headroom is non-existent, having us wish we bought a model without the moonroof. Wearing a helmet is out of the question. In fact, there's barely for a combover with some drivers. The rear seat remains vestigial, with limited people-toting ability. (If you want a muscle car with passenger space, look to the Chevrolet SS or Dodge Challenger.)
But the cabin is relatively quiet and refined, looking far less toy-like than the previous model. The Chevy MyLink infotainment system is graphically pleasing and intuitive to use. However, its screen tilts down slightly, presumably to better shield it from sun reflections. As a result, it looks like it is melting awkwardly forward. The interior door handle is also positioned at strange angle, making operation uncomfortable. Temperature adjustments are hidden in the vent bezels, and the dash vents are positioned unusually low.
Trunk space remains limited, with an usual opening size that would limit the Camaro's functionality for warehouse store runs.
We look forward to completing the testing, when the weather warms up.
All cars come with basic warranty coverage, also known as a bumper-to-bumper warranty. This protects consumers against unexpected problems with non-wear items. Powertrain warranty protects against engine and transmission troubles. Rust through, or corrosion warranty, covers rust to non-damaged components. Roadside aid provides on-location assistance in case of a breakdown and may include limited towing services.
Extended warranties provide peace of mind. Owners of models known to have worse-than-average predicted reliability can mitigate risks with an extended warranty. Generally, we recommend buying a model with better-than-average reliability and skipping this expensive add on. If you do buy an extended warranty, it is key to read the small print to understand what is covered and where you can bring the car for repairs.

|There are three key concepts in peer review studies to be analyzed: (i) the persons who perform the peer review (evaluators), (ii) the process by which the evaluators judge the research (evaluation process), (iii) the research which is evaluated (evaluation object). This is a distinction resembling the ones in naturalistic decision making of groups and individuals. Evaluator and evaluation object correspond to decision maker and decision making task.
|The disagreement is investigated from a distinction between social and cognitive factors, though one should be aware that these factors may be intertwined and connected to each other in scientific disputes. However, it is a useful conceptual tool found in research in decision making and sociological studies of scientific controversies. In decision making, an analysis of the consequences is suggested to elucidate the distinction between choice on social and/or cognitive grounds in peer review (cf. Zakay, 1997).
|The analysis of social and cognitive reasons for individual acceptance and rejection judgments should be carried out before and after group meetings, if possible, to prevent from hindsight bias. However, also data from retrospective interviews might be used.
|It is important to distinguish between evaluators who make judgments and decisions individually and those who also meet to make group decisions as part of a peer review. In the latter case also group interactions and other social influences contribute to the evaluation results.
|Disagreements in peer reviews may involve different number of peers--at least two, but often three or more. A conflict between two peers, who take opposite stands is different from a three- or four-group conflict in important ways in terms of group dynamic effects (e.g., more relations and interactions, the possibility of coalitions, homogeneity or heterogeneity among group members).
|The separation of acceptance and rejection choices is preferred due to previous research findings suggesting different criteria for the two choices.
|The analysis of group meeting processes and especially conflict resolution strategies and consensus seeking is crucial to explain the outcome of the meeting.
|The distinction between individual and group decision alternatives (individual representations versus group or social representations) explains in part the group meeting outcome.

Pownal man to pay $700 for importing deer from NY
BENNINGTON A Pownal man agreed to pay a fine of more than $700 for bringing a deer he killed in Hoosick, N.Y., into Vermont in November.
Gregorio F. Messina, 28, pleaded guilty Monday in Bennington criminal court after being cited for importing a wild animal without a permit. Messina was ordered to pay a fine of $716.
In an affidavit, Sgt. Travis Buttle, a state game warden, said he was sent to Messinas home after police got a complaint that several shots had been fired from his home around 8 p.m. Nov. 25.
Buttle said he saw a deer hanging from the back deck.
Messina admitted shooting off his back deck at some targets, Buttle said. When asked about the deer carcass, he said he had shot it Nov. 23 in Hoosick, near the Bennington Battlefield, Buttle said.
I asked him if he was aware of the regulations for importing deer from (New York) and he advised that he was not. I explained to him the regulations related to importing deer from (chronic wasting disease) states, Buttle said.MORE IN This Just In

Making a Good Last Impression
Tempted to Tell Off Your Boss? Twentysomethings Learn Lessons On How to Leave a Job Gracefully
I quit.
It's a phrase that takes a lot of courage to say, especially when it's being directed at an employer. Utter it at the wrong time or in the wrong manner, and the results could be damaging to your career.
For Jennifer, an attorney in New York, it was a particularly gut-wrenching experience. The twentysomething had been looking for a new job for several months when she got an offer from one of the law firms where she had interviewed. The job wasn't her first choice among those she applied for, but it did offer more money than her current position.
Act One
Act One is an Online Journal column about the financial ups and downs of people in their 20s. Read a recent installment on whether it makes sense to hire a tax professional.
Making a Move
Today's column is the first in a three-part series on making major life moves. Next up: Relocating to a new city.
She didn't know what to do: Take the job that was being offered or hold off for one of the ones she wanted more? It wouldn't be smart to turn down a sure thing, she figured, so she decided to quit. "I wanted to do the right thing and give them a full two weeks' notice."
Jennifer, who asked that her last name not be used for this column, told her boss that she got a better offer elsewhere and respectfully quit. Later that night, she regretted the move. She felt that she should have held out for a job she wanted more, and didn't want to take the new position in the interim. "I didn't sleep at all" that night, she says. The next day, she rescinded her notice.
Jennifer's boss was forgiving, and allowed her to keep her position. A month later, however, she was offered a job she really wanted at a different firm, and left, for good.
Still, Jennifer's transition was hardly smooth, and it probably wasn't the ideal way the situation could have been handled.
Exit Strategy
With every big change in life, career or otherwise, your finances shouldn't be overlooked. Just as important as being mindful not to burn bridges, shoring up your finances before you leave your job takes some effort.
Stop by your human-resources department and check out the following:
- Due benefits. There may be compensation awaiting you for unused vacation time that even your boss doesn't know about. See if you are still eligible for other perks.
- Retirement plan. Knowing whether to keep the money in an employer's 401(k) plan or to transfer it to an individual retirement account is a difficult decision. Under a new federal regulation, employers are required to automatically roll over to an IRA former employees' account balances of between $1,000 and $5,000. So be sure to get all the documentation you need about your retirement funds.
- Health insurance. Your insurance may last through the end of the last month you were employed at your current job, but check your options. Most workers are guaranteed continuation of health coverage under a federal act called Cobra, but it's at your expense, not your employer's.
"Once you give notice, you've kind of crossed an imaginary line -- a point of no return," says Marc Karasu, a spokesman for Yahoo HotJobs. Jennifer could have tried to buy more time from the firm who made her the offer before she said yes, he says. In the meantime, she might have been able to tease an offer from one of the other firms she was interested in.
Mastering the ins and outs of moving from job to job is an important skill, particularly for young people, since we are likely to move around a lot. It's more than just being professional, it's about shoring your future career moves, and your finances. The average person will have 9.2 jobs between the ages of 18 and 34, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Meanwhile, a survey from the Society of Human Resource Management last November found that 75% of employees are actively or passively looking for work, now that the economy is getting stronger.
How can you make a move as pain-free as possible?
First, schedule a private moment with your boss to break the news -- and do it tactfully, says Mr. Karasu. Instead of screaming, "I quit," Mr. Karasu suggests saying something about how fortunate you have been and how grateful you are for all the opportunities you have been given, but that you have an offer that you felt you couldn't refuse. In other words, don't be tempted to use leaving as an opportunity to blow off steam.
"You never know when your boss will be a good reference," says Deborah Keary, a director at the Society for Human Resource Management. "It's so dumb to make everyone angry before you go."
Paul Kitzrow made an effort to leave his job with some tact. "It was very hard to bite my tongue toward the end," says Mr. Kitzrow, a 23-year-old who recently left a corporate job to work with his uncle on a new business in Grand Rapids, Mich.
Mr. Kitzrow was tempted to offer "constructive criticism" about everything he disliked in his old job, but he had a feeling that it wouldn't go over well. Plus, he had taken some extra vacation time before giving notice, and his boss could have docked his pay for the days he took off but didn't.
In the end, however, he didn't burn any bridges, and his boss offered to write him a letter of reference for future career moves.
Don't burn bridges with co-workers, either. Remember that anyone you've worked with is a potential reference, career experts say.
Another way to make your transition as smooth as possible is to give more than two weeks' notice, says Ms. Keary. She says most employers won't be able to find and hire a replacement in two weeks, so if you can give them extra time -- three weeks or a month -- to get started, they will usually be appreciative.
There's a caveat, though. Some employers get very upset when someone quits and may want the worker out immediately, she says. So before you tell your boss, you might want to reflect on how your boss has responded in the past when employees gave notice. Ms. Keary also suggests that, just in case, you download all the personal documents on your computer to a disk before you go in to see your boss. That way, if he or she ignominiously boots you out the door, you already have those things in your possession.
Presuming your boss doesn't flip out, Mr. Karasu suggests you do as much as you can to help your boss hire your replacement, which might include writing a job ad or even gathering and vetting resumes from possible candidates.
Wanted: Advice
The twenties often bring some eye-opening experiences with finances, careers and relationships. So what have you learned? If you knew then what you know now, what would you have done differently -- or the same? Write to email@example.com, and your advice may appear in a future column.
Another thing to do is to write instructions about how to do your job for your replacement and even to offer to make yourself available to answer any questions for a week or two after you leave, Mr. Karasu says. "If you've done all that, that's about all anyone can expect," he says.
Except maybe a hand-written thank you note. That's a little touch that Lorie Lebert, a career coach in Novi, Mich., recommends. The note should "thank them for understanding your position and for giving you the opportunity to begin with," she says. "A really nice thank you note goes a long way."
Of course, you should also resist the temptation to start completely slacking off after you've given notice, she says. "Work as hard as you possibly can," Ms. Lebert says. "People are watching you."
That's what Myles Perkins is trying to do, but it's hard. The 29-year-old Washington, D.C., resident works in commercial real-estate finance -- at least for now. He is attending business school next year and will take the summer off, leaving his current position in June.
In the meantime, he says he feels like a "dead man walking." "I've been passed over for a couple of projects because everyone knows I'm leaving and they don't want me to start something," he says.
Mr. Perkins feels like he's twiddling his thumbs a bit, without enough work to keep him busy throughout the day, but still wants to do his best. "My boss has been really good to me, and I don't want to appear to be a total slacker," he says.
