Claims Lancaster Park is fixable rejected
Relevant offers
The Rebuild
Earthquake Recovery Minister Gerry Brownlee and the Christchurch City Council have both poured cold water on suggestions Lancaster Park could be repaired.
Reports yesterday suggested engineering work commissioned by insurer Civic Assurance revealed the former AMI Stadium could be fixed for $45 million.
A repair could sink plans for a $500m covered sports stadium in the city.
However, the council moved to dismiss the suggestions.
Corporate services general manager Paul Anderson said he had seen no evidence the stadium could be saved.
"I think all insurers would say that they think it's repairable for within the sum insured. The advice we've had all indicates that to repair the stadium to as-new condition, which is what our policy allows, would cost more than the sum insured," he said.
Brownlee backed the council. He said Civic's view was "counter to all the information that's been out publicly up to this point".
"The insurers clearly would have a very difficult job of convincing the public that it can be made safe. The steward of the stadium, which is the Christchurch City Council, would need to be equally persuaded that it can be made safe," he said.
Any repair methodology would require Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority consideration, Brownlee said.
In April, the council released six options for repair or replacement, which ranged in cost from $49.6m after insurance to $144.6m.
The report said the method proposed for repairing the ground under the stands was untested and the cost did not justify the risk.
Civic Assurance chief executive Tim Sole did not return calls from The Press but earlier told The Star the ground could be returned to its pre-quake specifications for much less than its $135m insurance tag.
"The grounds looks terrible but you have to ignore that. The bulk of the stadium looks fine and you need someone to tell you it's not quite at the same level it was before," he said.
No exact repair figure had been decided, Sole said.
"There is no number provided, they've just said it can be repaired below the cost of the sum insured, and there's much more work to do. It's a big project, building or repairing a stadium," he later said on radio.
A covered 35,000-seat stadium on the former Turners and Growers site in Tuam St was included in the Christchurch Central Development Unit (CCDU) blueprint announced in July.
But a CCDU spokeswoman said the stadium was not a priority project.
"The design, cost and funding model is still to be worked through by the parties involved in the project, with the indicative schedule for it to be completed in 2017," she said.
Wider Earthquake Communities Action Network spokesman Mike Coleman said repairing Lancaster Park would be "outstanding".
"Let [Civic] rebuild it and get it sorted," he said. "We're in the beginning of recovery of the city, so the last thing you'd ever go near is a covered stadium, particularly one that's going to cost $550m.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to take pressure off ratepayers."
Canterbury Rugby Football Union chief executive Hamish Riach, who pushed for a covered stadium, said that plan would be shelved if Lancaster Park was repaired.

I can always appreciate a website with a clever logo—such as the Genetic Alliance's DNA strand in which people substitute for the base pairs. And when the rest of the site delivers, well, that just makes my day. Genetic Alliance is a nonprofit health advocacy group that provides resources about health in general, but with a specific emphasis on genetic disorders. The disease info search provides links to disease-specific resources, categorized into five groups: organizations, arts and literature, clinical description, research, and general information. Unfortunately, though, some of the entries are bare. In addition to the large number of links provided through the infosearch and organization search options, Genetic Alliance also has an entirely separate "resource repository" containing a wealth of information for the global health community.

Break-open package with shaped die cut for storing and dispensing substrates
Image Number 5 for
United States Patent #8028837
A package that is opened by deforming or bending the package along the die cut on the surface of the package is disclosed. The package will fracture or break at a die cut providing an opening in the package to access the contents inside. The package is formed with a semi-rigid layer affixed to a flexible backing layer forming an inner cavity. A die cut extends from at least an area adjacent one edge of the semi-rigid layer to at least an area adjacent another edge of the semi-rigid layer to provide a fracture point for the package to break. At least a portion of the die cut extends along both the lateral width and the longitudinal width of the semi-rigid layer to allow a greater surface area of the substrate to be accessible. Thus, dispensing of the substrate is easier for the user.

Is NetBeans recommended for developing a GUI for a Python app?
Does it have a form/screen builder for Python apps, like Dabo?
Although it isn't "built-in" to Netbeans, I've found Qt Designer to be an excellent tool for building GUIs for Python. Of course, this only works if you're using PyQt or PySide but it's kept me quite happy for years. According to the Netbeans Docs, integrated Qt Designer support is available. I haven't tried it personally to see if it works from within a Python project but even if it doesn't I doubt the annoyance of launching Designer by hand would be sufficient to disuade you from using an otherwise excellent tool.
I haven't seen a built-in GUI builder for CPython. You could use Jython + Matisse (the built-in Netbeans Java-based GUI builder).
Oracle is not going to support dynamic languages in netbeans. In their marketing speak "dynamic languages on netbeans will be supported by the community" i.e. not by Oracle.
See this webcast at time 11:55.
For the record, I used to use netbeans for python development and thought it was excellent but have now moved to eclipse + pydev.
Netbeans does have the "netbeans GUI Builder" but that is for the Java (or Jython) platform and does not support the common GUI frameworks used in python such as xwpython, Qt or Tkinter
Is Google broken?
There's the first hit I got from Googling "Netbeans Python"
I don't know what kind of "recommendation" you're looking for, but it's certainly supported.

OITA, Japan (AFP) - Japan were held to a goalless draw by Venezuela in the first home game of the season for the Blue Samurai on Tuesday as they prepare for the World Cup in South Africa.
Japan were the first team to qualify for international football's biggest prize while Venezuela failed to reach the finals after finishing eighth in the South American group.
Venezuela had the first chance of the match when 17-year-old debutant forward Fernando Aristiguieta missed a header from close range in the ninth minute following midfielder Giacomo Di Giorgi's long-off effort.
But it appeared to be the best chance for either side in a game bereft of clear scoring opportunities.
Mitsuo Ogasawara, playing for Japan for the first time since the 2006 World Cup, fired a sizzling shot from outside the area, forcing goalkeeper Leonardo Morales to save in the 16th minute.
Ogasawara and Brazilian-born Marcus Tulio Tanaka missed a couple more shots, while Aristiguieta failed to catch up with Caracas defender Hose Manuel Rey's free kick to end a goalless first half.
Venezuela piled on the pressure in the second half but managed just one shot on goal through defender Giovanny Romero.
Sota Hirayama, who scored a hat-trick in an Asian Cup qualifier against Yemen last month, was sent on with Sanfrecce Hiroshima striker Hisato Sato in a fruitless attempt to lend the Japanese some rhythm.
Overall, Japan hit a total of 12 shots on goal and Venezuela four.
"I was disappointed that we couldn't win because Venezuela put wonderful pressure on us. But as an early game of the season, it was a nice game," said Japan coach Takeshi Okada.
"Mitsuo struggled in the first half as the combination with the others was not so good but he did very well in the second half.
"We have three more games this month (in the East Asian championship). We are going to level up our team through the championship, looking forward to the World Cup," Okada added.
Japan will play China, South Korea and Hong Kong in the championship starting in Tokyo on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Venezuela coach Cesar Farias said: "It was a very difficult game but we can go back home being satisfied after learning football played at the top level of the world."
Farias said his team had learned a lot from a draw with Brazil at the end of the South American qualifying campaign.
"I believe we are very close to the next World Cup," he added. "It was the first step towards the following four years. It gave us a lot of experience. I'm very glad that we can go back home with such an experience."

Ariana Grande and Chris Brown's Collab May Be Called 'Don't Be Gone Too Long'
It has been reported that Ariana Grande is readying a new song with Chris Brown. Some new details about the collaboration recently emerged as Brown's celebrity barber posted a photo revealing that the track would probably be called "Don't Be Gone Too Long".
Grande and Brown first teased their collaboration by tweeting what might be the lyrics of their new project. The Nickelodeon star, who released her debut album "Yours Truly" last summer, then revealed to her fans that a new song that they hadn't heard would arrive later this month.
Last week, both Grande and Brown posted the same Instagram picture which was apparently taken during the rehearsal for the music video. In the black-and-white photo, the 20-year-old starlet is seen dancing with shirtless Breezy as they look into each other's eyes.
The forthcoming visuals is reportedly directed by Joseph Labisi, who has previously helmed Zendaya Coleman's "Replay" and Jason Derulo's "Stupid Love" clips.
"Don't Be Gone Too Long" will likely appear in Brown's highly-anticipated album "X", which is now expected to hit the stores on May 5.

Wilmington homeless camp must be cleaned in a week
There are 10 comments on the WECT-TV Wilmington story from Aug 8, 2009, titled Wilmington homeless camp must be cleaned in a week. In it, WECT-TV Wilmington reports that:
One of the largest homeless camps in Wilmington was discovered last month , just 24 hours after a group announced a new initiative to eliminate homelessness in the Cape Fear region.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at WECT-TV Wilmington.

I think Wilmington is horrible when it comes to the homeless. There's not enough shelters, definately not enough low housing and now this crazy city is trying to charge this woman because people decided to live there. Why doesn't the city just do it, bring out some of the prisoners and let them clean it up. There is absolutely NO reason this woman should be stuck with the bill. Wilmington just needs to get a grib!!
#2 Aug 9, 2009
Wilmington is trying....Jerry Springer will be moving his head quarters to the port city...All the money that Jerry pays in airline tickets will be giving to the homeless...It should do alot..I mean 99.999999999999999999999999999 99999999% of his guest comes from the Wilmington area...Well look at sleazeland and Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrgaw.........I think the homeless situation will be gone soon..

instead of making these homeless families keep moving on has any city ever stopped to realize they are human beings who need a helping hand? I think most of us are a paycheck and job away from being homeless.
Try helping these people. All of them are not alcies or druggies.

They won't do nothing if you feed 1-2 people but if you try and feed a group of people.
There was a park that had to be shut down due to the homeless population that who live in it.
The homes around the park had severe problems with some of the homeless,drug users/dealers.
#10 Oct 12, 2012
Not every homeless person is a druggie or alcoholic until you have walked in their shoes you shouldn't judge, I had it all 3 weeks ago I lost my job couldn't find another one couldn't pay my rent or elec I had to use what money I had to put my things in storage and gas for my truck I have a sm dog so I couldn't stay in any shelter, most I called were full anyway. Friends and family I thought I had well that was a joke, I have 3 weeks til I loose my truck and storage unit do you think there is any resources out there to help NO they just send you on your way with sorry I can't help you. If I ever get back on my feet I will do everything I can to one day operate a facility to help those in need. I was one that said it wouldn't /couldn't happen to me well it took 10 days for me to find out It could and it did. Be careful when you walk down the street and see a homeless person with a back pack and you cross the street to avoid that person, because one day you may be that person and realize all that person has in the world is whats in their back pack.
#11 Oct 12, 2012
I agree with you, the prisoners assault , kill and deal but still have a roof over their head , food, visitors, tv cable etc. Maybe a little less amenties for prisoners and a little more help for the homeless. If they had a community of homeless ppl shouldn't that tell the city theres a problem. Not only are their not enuff shelters in Wilm or anywhere for that matter, they must leave during the day with all their belongings from 8 am til 5pm. and they are suppose to go where for 9 hours, in the cold, in the rain, if they are sick it doesn't matter.

Comment on Abe: "We Need More Nuclear Reactors!" by Anonymous:
"Do the species a favor and do not breed, then again you're on sancom so thats thankfully probably not going to happen."
I'm not planning to. Children are expensive and i value my freetime. So way in hell am I willingly going to give either resource to an ungrateful little shit. [Also I probably have a 2 year old illegitimate daughter already.]

Solar, water and wind are too dependent on randomness of weather (for storage, giant batteries and inverters are far more expensive than nuclear) and also produce less kilowatts than thermal plants.
- Abe: "We Need More Nuclear Reactors!":
Within 1 month the incident happened there were already rumors about human factors. I doubted it at first as there were not much proof. But records of discussions reviewed that humans did contributed to the worsening of situation.
- Abe: "We Need More Nuclear Reactors!":
A country is huge. Green energy can be used at various spots to reduce the demand. It's the general trend and is especially important in areas having high earthquake risk. Even the US is moving towards it. The goal is not to eliminate whatever type of energy but to choose the best within a defined area, not only considering the cost.

Lol who has a feeling Japan is just going to turn into a radioactive melt-down island in the future!

Extension Watch: Copy Without Formatting Extension for Google Chrome and Chromium
Productivity Sauce
The Copy Without Formatting extension fixes one of the biggest annoyances in the Google Chrome and Chromium browsers. When you copy a text fragment, the extension automatically strips it of all formatting. This way, you don't have to reformat the text snippet manually, when you paste it in a document.
This one-trick pony extension can be a great time-saver, and you can tweak its settings to your liking in the Options section. Here you replace the default keyboard shortcut with your own as well as enable the Auto-copy feature which automatically copies the selection. You can also enable the floating button which appears when you select a text fragment. This allows you to perform the copy action using the mouse.comments powered by Disqus

When it comes to giving gifts, I hate to be predictable.
Socks, aftershave, bath salts…. they're all very well but hardly memorable presents to endear you to friends and family.
I always like to pick items which say something about how I feel about them.
There are plenty of ideas in the shops which are either unusual or very personal to show that you care.
Here are some of the things I'll be saying with my gifts this year.

In this exclusive interview, Princeton economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman discusses the relevance of the Rockefellers in today's business environment of mergers, monopolies, and the new "age of the heroic entrepreneur."
1. How does Rockefeller's dominance compare to companies today?
Well there's nobody with the same level of dominance now. Even Microsoft doesn't dominate anything the way Standard Oil did, just because it was a smaller economy then. It was bigger than anything anybody had ever seen, up to that point but it was still much smaller than ours. Our world is just too big for anybody to have the same kind of dominance that Rockefeller had, or for that matter, that [J.P.] Morgan had in banking. It was just a smaller place. It was a little bit more this human scale, even if they were sort of super-human humans. Amazingly, we do now see individuals who are Rockefeller-like in their wealth. We see companies -- although it's funny, the biggest companies in terms of number of employees, in terms of actual sheer reach, though not stock market value, but the biggest companies are actually not at all like Standard Oil was then. They're at sort of the intervening period. General Motors is still the biggest employer and it's kind of a faceless corporation with no single individual associated as head. But now we do have the [Bill] Gateses and [Larry] Ellisons and the founders of new fortune. So in a way, Rockefeller has come back.
2. Do mergers occur in the same way today as they did then?
I think, these days it's a lot less clear-cut. I mean, some of them are. The trusts were very straightforward. It was, "We are out to establish monopoly power." And some of the mergers that are happening now are probably about that, though a hundred years ago, people would admit that frankly and nowadays, you'll never hear it. They'll never commit it to paper or email. Many of them seem though to be more diffuse, they are looking for synergy, which isn't always in the eye of the beholder. They're looking for strategic advantage, which is in the eye of the beholder. That also makes it very difficult to know where the rules are. It's bad to have a merger that deprives people of the opportunity to vote with their feet. It's good to have a merger that promotes synergy, whatever that might be. I think we are mentally very well equipped to handle 19th-century trusts. And the problem is the 21st-century trusts are a little subtler than that.
3. Was Rockefeller's monopoly necessary?
In a way, at least my understanding of it is that an important part of the reason for his monopoly was that only a tremendously powerful oil company would have the bargaining leverage to compete with, to control the monopoly power of the railroads. So in a way, Rockefeller was a counter bearing weight to the power of the railroads. There were probably in the early stages, substantial advantages to that unification of resources. By the time Standard Oil was broken up, I think it's pretty clear that the usefulness of that monopoly had passed. And you can see by the fact that there don't seem to have been any big costs to breaking Standard Oil up into a number of component companies. It's probably true that in 1885, there were a lot of gains to having a unified oil industry. By 1915, they were probably long since dissipated.
4. Do you see a comparison with how Rockefeller and Gates leveraged their power?
Rockefeller built himself a control over the core business through his power. So he took one refinery after another, and he basically acquired all of the competing companies. Microsoft didn't do that in the core business, which is the operating system. But Gates did use the position in the operating system to leverage Microsoft into other businesses. I think if you had to ask how much of the business was created through that kind of semi-predatory acquisition, the answer in the case of Standard Oil, it would be most of it. And the case of Microsoft would only be some of it. There is some parallel, enough that it works.
5. Who are the new robber barons?
The first thing you notice is that there are a lot of people who have made hundreds of millions or billions of dollars while still fairly young, who have risen to head important companies that they themselves built, and who are arguably at least a little bit predatory, or enough that you can ask, "Are these guys really entitled to be where they are?" I often think about it when I talk to friends I grew up with, friends I went to school with. You know people my age, when we were making career choices, thought of business as a boring, dull, unrewarding activity. Because in the early seventies, going into business meant going to work for a big established corporation, then slowly working your way up a hierarchy. And now all of a sudden we look around, there are all these guys younger than me, who are billionaires, and out of no place. And you say, "Gee, did I make a big mistake here?" So it is really the age of the heroic entrepreneur come back again. And at least some of these entrepreneurs seem to have made their money in ways that are a little bit suspicious. So it's the robber barons in a sort of kinder gentler form.
6. Rockefeller was a case study in developing antitrust laws.
I guess it sort of has to happen this way, that the businessmen seizing opportunities to create market power are always going to be ahead of the regulators finding things that need to be stopped; because after all, the businessmen are paid more to do that job. I don't think it's conceivable that before Rockefeller began acquiring all of the refineries, that someone could have drawn up legislation to stop that, because it didn't occur to anybody. That's why Rockefeller was Rockefeller. And I don't think anybody could have drawn up legislation in 1980 to stop one company from dominating the operating system of personal computers. That wasn't an issue until we woke up and discovered that Gates had done it.
7. What is Rockefeller's current status among experts?
The funny thing is I think he seems kind of an antique figure. If you actually ask, who is the founder of the giant corporation, we don't look back to Rockefeller anymore. We look back probably to Alfred Sloane, who put together General Motors, who was not himself a vastly wealthy man and never became one. And he was not a huge public figure. In a way, the age of the robber baron went away. The robber barons faded into the background. And we now look back towards the original men in gray flannel suits who founded the big bureaucratic companies that dominated our economy up until the 1980s. Economists also I think are lagging behind. I don't think we've fully noticed that the robber barons are back and that in some sense, that Bill Gates or Larry Ellison are the spiritual descendants of John D. Rockefeller. I think if you went around and asked my colleagues, what do you think of the organization and career of John D. Rockefeller, they probably wouldn't know that much about him, because it seemed like he was, you know, it's like talking about Henry V or something. He's a historical figure of no relevance, except he is.
8. What do people not realize about Rockefeller?
I think that if Rockefeller hadn't existed, we would have invented him, that there was going to be a Rockefeller one way or another -- maybe 10 years later, maybe less effective. But there were things like Rockefeller emerging all around the world, even in the oil business. I mean Standard Oil wasn't the only giant oil company that was emerging about that time. And in other countries, similar things were happening. But the big multi-unit business that controls an industry without having it all controlled from just one or two factories and the globe-spanning operations, all of that is something that really became visible with Standard Oil. And so that's Rockefeller's creation. The corporation, as opposed to the factory, I think in a way you could almost say is what he brought us.
They feared the temptations of wealth, yet their estate was once described as the kind of place God would have built–if only he had the money. They amassed a fortune that outraged a democratic nation, then gave much of it away. They were the closest thing this country had to a royal family, but they shunned the public eye, retreating behind the walls of their palatial home at Pocantico Hills, New York.

If you'd read the section's rules you'd be aware of this, and the fact you can't make fan clubs based on one Pokémon because they're too specific and the club would at least have to incorporate Wynaut too so there's enough to talk about, as well as the issue that your club didn't have any content other than effectively just saying "hi here's a place to discuss Wobbuffet".

Clear coat paint provides some added protection
The folks at PPG Industries, one of the largest paint suppliers for the auto industry, recently came up with a new clear coat paint they are calling "CeramiClear," which incorporates nanoparticles. These little pieces enable the new paint to offer what PPG calls "the highest level of scratch resistance among any of our commercial clear coats."
CeramiClear has been tested extensively in the laboratory, surviving hundreds of automated washes using a special abrasive cleaning solution as well as a dry abrasive test using very fine sandpaper. It has been tested in the field on more than 150 vehicles throughout the world over several years.

If you're going to try Stitcher Radio it's worth noting it streams live rather than just downloading podcasts when you're connected to Wi-Fi (as is common with podcast apps). This means if you're likely to eat through your mobile data allocation quicker than you would otherwise.
Whilst the Stitcher app has been available for some time, an updated iPhone version has launched in recent days. The update provides a special car mode to iPhone users. It's likely the simpler car interface for drivers will come to Android users in the not too distant future.
Currently available primarily on iPhone, iPad and Android as a free download.
Stitcher Radio picked by Gorilla Technology's Paul Spain, host of the NZ Tech Podcast.
