Take the Cost Out of Color
The Breakthrough Printer that Takes the Cost out of ColourIn today's workplace, if you want to compete with the best you have to look the part. Now, thanks to the latest breakthrough in colour printing from Tektronix, any business can afford to look like the best. The secret? The Phaser 350 colour printer. The fastest, most affordable, laser quality colour printer on the market. At up to 6 pages per minute, why wait?
Free Black InkTektronix is serious about color printing. In fact, to make the switch to colour printing even easier, we're offering a free supply of black ink for everything you print on your 350. That makes the cost-per-page less than a monochrome lasers! Even a typical colour page costs no more than the loose change in your pocket.
Exceptional Colour on Ordinary PaperThe 350 takes laser quality colour to the next level. Tektronix' unique colour ink formulation produces remarkably bright, vibrant, crisp colour. It doesn't need special paper either. It will use any paper you have - premium grade laser, ordinary office copier paper or even re-cycled. You choose. You'll still get high quality colour whichever you use. And for presentations that leave an impression, Phaser 350 colour transparencies are in a class of their own.
Laser-Quality, Breakthrough Speed and PerformanceNobody likes wasting time waiting for their printer to print. That's why Tektronix engineers designed the Phaser 350 for ultimate performance. It's fast - even in the busiest network environments - delivering up to 6 full A4 pages per minute in laser-quality colour. Productive enough to keep the largest network happy.
Extermely Easy To Work WithTo say that the Phaser 350 is easy to use is an understate-ment. It is probably the easiest to use printer of any kind ever manufactured. ColorStix® solid ink is safe, clean, easy to replace and environmentally friendly. There are no stacks of toner cartridges, bulky imaging units or corona wires to dispose of. Anyone can operate the 350. Generous printing capacities and options such as a second paper tray mean users can concentrate on their output, rather than worry about the printer.
Plug and PlayThe 350 offers seamless compatibility for every leading operating system, software application, and network protocol. Plus, we've added our exclusive network printer management software, PhaserLinkTM. It's the answer to an administrator's or user's dreams. Allowing you to check printer status, change printer settings and access on-line documentation from your desktop. PhaserLink uses Internet technology - so is platform-independent and requires no network maintenance or updates.
Extended FeaturesIf you need 20 copies of a 6 page report, just connect the optional hard disk to the printer's SCSI port and you can print 20 sets of your document ready collated. If you want to check the first page runout before printing more, the Check Print feature allows the Phaser 350 to print the first page, then waits for you to review it. You can then continue the job or stop it at the printer avoiding wasting time and paper. Another productive feature is Job Pipelining. This means the next job in the queue will begin processing while the current job is still printing, saving valuable time.
Make it a Colour CopierAdd a Phaser Copystation and your Phaser 350 becomes a colour copier. The Phaser Copystation adds a new dimension of convenience and capability to your workgroup.
Where to Buy
The Phaser 350 is no longer sold as new.

Healthcare.gov, the Obamacare website, has a big problem. But it's not the problem you might think.
It's not the crashes, freezes, faulty navigation and long waits, though there are still plenty of those.
It's not the huge security holes that let hackers steal private, personal information.
It's not even the lack of any back end to relay enrollment and subsidy information to insurance companies so that consumers can be billed and insurers be reimbursed.
The biggest problem, according to recently released government figures, is something called conversion rate.
A measure of actual sales
Conversion rate is a statistic that tells advertisers and marketers just how effective their advertising, website and/or social media campaign is as an actual sales tool. You calculate it by counting total leads – in the case of healthcare.gov, unique visits to the site and the state exchanges – and dividing that number into the total number of sales. The quotient, expressed as a percentage, tells you how well you're doing at converting curious prospects into paying customers – hence the name "conversion rate."
"According to government tallies," Forbes reports, "44.5 million people called or visited state and federal websites[,] they said, presumably indicating broad interest in the new benefit." Of those, 2.2 million are claimed to have signed up for Obamacare. Critics have voiced skepticism about this claim, noting that the 2.2 million may have selected a health insurance plan, but substantially fewer have actually bought coverage by paying their first premium. But let's put our skepticism aside and take that 2.2 million figure at face value.
Dividing it by 44.5 million total unique visits gives you a conversion rate of 4.9 percent. And that "rate of converting web traffic into customers," says Forbes, "would place the program on par with the click through rates enjoyed by Internet banner ads, and well below sales figures on other e-commerce sites."
That's a bit of a misstatement, since banner ad clickthrough rates measure leads, not sales. When you click a banner, you're taken to a website, from which you can buy if you want to. How many visitors actually do buy would be the basis for the conversion rate. If clickthroughs were equivalent to conversions, Obamacare conversions would be doing about five times as well as banner ads, whose clickthrough rate averages around 1 percent.
Comparing apples to apples
But comparing apples to apples, it becomes readily apparent that healthcare.gov's and the various state exchanges' conversion rates are fractions of those earned by other forms of e-commerce.
- For your garden-variety e-commerce website, Forbes notes, "about 8% of visitors...will add a product to their basket." That's more than one-and-a-half times the Obamacare conversion rate.
- Same for education sites, whose conversion rate also averages 8 percent.
- Professional financial services websites enjoy an average 10 percent conversion rate – more than double Obamacare's.
And for private, out-and-out health insurance sites? Well, Jonathan Bush, CEO of Athena Health, which sells a specialized service to healthcare providers, "said that the conversion rate for Athena's web site, for doctors who visit the site to evaluate Athena's suite of services and then make a purchase, is 22%." That's more than quadruple Obamacare's conversion rate.
Putting the customer last
But for all its faults, the problem isn't the Obamacare website. It's the Obamacare product.
"This data [sic] strongly suggests that eligible consumers, who take the time to kick the tires on Obamacare, don't like the products that they're finding in the exchanges," Forbes explains. "They're browsing, but not buying."
And the reason they're not buying, says Health Policy and Strategy Associates president Robert Laszewski, is that the product was designed with priorities exactly the opposite of what they should have been, putting last things first and vice versa.
If an entrepreneur had crafted Obamacare[,] he would've gone to a middle class family. A family of four [that] make[s] $54,000 a year has to pay $400 in premiums net of subsidy[,] and for that the standard silver plan has an average deductible around $2,500 and a narrow network. They're going to pay almost $5,000 for that? So the entrepreneur would say I've got $5,000 in premium and all this deductible, what do they want for that? And they probably would've said we want office visits and lab tests because the kids need to go in occasionally and then we want catastrophic care. The problem with Obamacare is it's product driven and not market driven. They didn't ask the customer what they wanted. And I think that's the fundamental problem with Obamacare.
Obamacare could be the greatest form of health insurance in the world, but that in itself wouldn't be enough to get more than 4.9 percent of the consumers who consider it to buy it. The scrapheaps of marketing are filled with superior products that too few people wanted to buy. (Did someone just say Betamax?) In order to succeed in the consumer marketplace, you have to make and sell what consumers themselves want to buy – and that's not necessarily what you may think is best for them.
There's only one way to find out what your potential customers want, and that's to ask them.

With 15 minutes on the clock and ticking, having to get children out of the bed, out of the house and to school on time finding time to pack a nutritious lunch they will actually like is laughable. Packing a lunch in the morning could be the difference between your child making it to first period and getting yet another tardy slip! School lunches can be a saving grace.
However, based on a recent study in the January issue of Obesity (2014;22{1}24-26), how students pay for their lunches can determine the healthfulness of their meals. The research suggests students receiving lunches in school districts that utilize debit/cash payment systems as opposed to debit only systems have the tendency to purchase more healthy food options (42% vs 31%).
The study included 2,300 students at 287 different schools and across 1,036 students the research showed that students utilizing the cash/debit system purchased more fresh fruits and vegetables. The biggest difference was seen in the amount of fresh vegetables purchased (31% vs. 11%).
The study also showed a small difference in the amount of calories consumed (752 vs. 721).
Based on this research there might be something to say for taking the extra time to pack your child's lunch. Despite whatever payment system a child's school utilizes, packing a lunch can help parents monitor what kids eat, to a certain extent of course. There's nothing you can do about that bag of chips bought by spare change from a coat pocket!
Here are some 10 tips to help pack a healthy, nutritious and easy lunch for the student in your life:
• Use the "My Plate" guidelines to create a well balances lunch.
• Save time in the morning and pack lunches the night before.
• Get children involved. It's fun to eat something you helped make.
• Switch from high fat lunch meats to healthier low fat versions.
• Make sure to include both fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Limit cookies, brownies and other sweets and opt for fruit.
• Use whole grain breads instead of white bread for sandwiches.
• Leave the cheese off of sandwiches or use low fat cheese.
• Make sure juice is 100% juice and in a single serving.
• Don't use Lunchables. They are high in fat and sugar.

Governor Nixon calls for review into top ranking of UMKC business school
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The University of Missouri-Kansas City is now facing serious questions about its integrity.
On Thursday, Governor Jay Nixon called for a review into how the UMKC Henry W. Bloch School of Management obtained a number one ranking. The 2011 study published in the Journal of Product Innovation Management ranked the UMKC school ahead of universities like Harvard and Stanford.
Nixon asked for the review after a Kansas City Star investigation revealed questionable methods by the school. In a letter to the Missouri Board of Curators, Nixon wrote, "The article raises serious questions about the integrity of the scholarship and strategies that have been employed to raise the profile of the institution."
In response, UMKC released the following statement.
We completely agree with Gov. Nixon on all the key points in his letter to Mr. Downing:
- that the people of Missouri deserve to know that claims we make about our academic programs are founded on trustworthy, accurate information;
- that the issues raised by the Star's article are fundamental to UMKC's integrity;
- and that this situation calls for a thorough review of the promotion of the Bloch School and the studies and rankings on which that promotion has been based.
In particular, we agree with the statement by the governor that "such a study has not been conducted." Indeed, it certainly has not been conducted by the Kansas City Star.
We have not violated the public trust; we say this with confidence, based on multiple reviews of these issues conducted in academic circles long before the Kansas City Star became involved – reviews that found these criticisms to be without merit. We contend that it is the newspaper's one-sided reporting, and not the acclaim that our programs and faculty have earned, that is truly misleading. The newspaper chose to ignore the extensive evidence we have provided to them of both the previous investigations into these charges, and of the many highly regarded world-class programs at the Bloch School that are not connected to these complaints in any way.
We welcome a thorough, objective and unbiased review of this situation by independent, knowledgeable experts. If such an investigation is performed by people who both understand academic processes, and have no stake in the outcome, people will not have to take our word, or the newspaper's; they will have a truly independent evaluation in which they can have confidence.
Following Governor Nixon's letter, the Board of Curators said they will evaluate all the facts.

Just joined and cannot get to any other forum
Just joined and trying to find out what I am doing wrong on a mission. Would post on strategy forum but only announcement thread pops up. I am in Battle 3 Mission 5 (I think), it's the one where Aeron has to plant a listening device on a comm sat. I keep getting a mission unresolved message. Aeron does plant the listening device (I guess) and re-enters the hanger of my ship but it is still unresolve and no Nav bouy shows up. What am I doing wrong? The Conditions to Prevent says ZG/U Aeron Inspect
What the heck does that mean. Does it mean if I left the enemies get to close she doesn't plant the device or what.
It's been a while, but I think that somebody got too close. You have to nail them fast. This is one of the missions people always have trouble with.
Don't forget to get the 2.02 patch if you haven't already - it fixes some mission bugs.

We are considering enabling ipv6 on our webservers, so that we are reachable with both ipv4 and ipv6. Are there any security issues we should consider when enabling ipv6?
IPv6 only:
IPv6 Attacks With Strong IPv4 Similarities:
IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack (as you mentioned):
Many sites use private addressing inside their network, and the router runs NAT so that outgoing connections are feasible. The NAT thing implies, by construction, the same effect than a firewall which would prevent any incoming connection from the outer world to one of the machines in the inner network.
When you enable IPv6, inner machines become externally visible. So you'd better setup baseline filtering rules on the firewall before enabling IPv6. Think about an unpatched old Windows system, full of remotely exploitable holes, which was harmless as long as it simply sat in the inner network without doing any network activity with the Internet at large (e.g. a workstation used only to connect to some intranet).
This is not really IPv6's fault. It is that IPv6 was designed so that there is no address shortage, making NAT unnecessary. I believe that most security issues which will occur with IPv6 deployment will follow that pattern: IPv6 nullifies the "inherent firewall" effect of NAT, uncovering many vulnerable hosts. To some extent, this is the same story than the advent of WiFi, which nullifies the inherent physical security of plain wires.
I ran across a recent paper on the subject: CPNI VIEWPOINT - SECURITY IMPLICATIONS OF IPv6 - MARCH 2011. The main points it makes are risks shared by many new technologies:
So before deploying IPv6, you should take the time to become familiar with the technology, work with savvy suppliers, and have a plan to address these issues.
The report goes into a bit more discussion of e.g. the NAT-free option.
Sounds like a good market developing out there for IPv6-savvy security folks. (As if there weren't other opportunities out there....)

Satellite, Explorer S-46, Payload Model
This is a payload model for the Explorer S-46 satellite, based upon a fully instrumented developmental model in the collection provided by the University of Iowa. The satellite would have carried instrumentation designed to study the electron and proton fluxes in the Earth's Van Allen Radiation belts over an extended period of time. After launch from Cape Canaveral on March 23, 1960, the upper stage of the Juno 2 vehicle did not ignite, and so the payload never achieved orbit. It was transferred to the Smithsonian Institution by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in May 1974.

On opening the C-USA portion of the schedule on Thursday at Marshall
"When you start Conference USA play, everything changes. Every game really matters. We talked a lot as a team about how we just play these teams once and you've got one shot at them. Going on the road for two games is certainly a big challenge for us to start the (conference) season, but we're excited about conference play."
On how her team is playing of late
"If you take the LSU game out, we've played very well. We've gotten better and improved. We see some players gaining confidence. Tierra Jones is playing very, very well. Jamie Kaplan is probably playing the best we've seen her play. You see the freshmen gaining confidence. With all of that, I feel that we have built some momentum heading into conference."
On how her team matches up with the Thundering Herd
"They're doing a nice job. They've got a lot of nice offensive sets that they run. They've added some junior college players to their four-year players who are really very athletic. They're going to press. They're going to create a lot of havoc with their defenses. They'll switch their defense. We've going to have to be ready. It's always a tough place to play up there and it's a tough travel day."
On starting the C-USA slate with consecutive road games
"I think it's challenging to play two road games in a row. This situation is a little different because we're kind of back to travel partners again. I like that we're traveling on this trip without classes hanging over us. Our players don't have the stress of missing class. We don't start classes until Monday, so it's going to be nice to knock two games out of the eight road games right quick."
On the overall health of her team
"I think we're healthy. In early December, we were fighting through some things. Now, our players are healthy. We've really done a nice job during the break of getting back on a lift schedule and hopefully we can get through conference with a pretty healthy team."
On the team's mindset opening the C-USA season
"We've always looked at the conference season and those 16 games as being its own season and I think it's important to look at it that way. You've got to separate things into segments. I feel that we've gotten better in the non-conference (games). We really had a challenging schedule so far and we're hoping that really helps us as we go forward. This is our last year in Conference USA. We certainly want to leave on top and have some success."
On the team's goal of leaving Conference USA on a strong note
"We would like to do that. Obviously Conference USA has changed so much this last year. We have a lot of teams that we've never played before. For us, we've been a charter member of the conference and it's kind of bitter sweet. We're excited about where we're going but we certainly have some great memories as a member of this conference."

Xiaomi Red Rice gets official, packs 4.7″ HD screen and quad-core CPU for just $130
Xiaomi has officially announced its cheapest Android smartphone yet today. The Xiaomi Red Rice is even more affordable than the MI2A introduced back in April. As such, it's the lowest-end handset the company has ever produced too, but don't let that disappoint you – for this has some extremely decent specs.
And just like that, Xiaomi in 2013 has gone from one model per year (and one model sold at any one time), to a full-blown line-up of three: the high-end MI2S (soon to be replaced by the MI3, if the rumors are to be believed), the now-midrange MI2A, and the low-end Red Rice.
So what's inside this Red Rice, you wonder? Well, it has a 4.7-inch 720p HD touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 2, a quad-core 1.5 GHz MediaTek MT6589T processor, an 8 MP rear camera, a 1.3 MP front camera, 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of internal storage space, support for microSD expansion, dual-network dual-standby, all the usual connectivity options, and a removable 2,000 mAh battery. It runs MIUI v5, a custom ROM based on Android 4.2.2. The handset's dimensions are 137x69x9.9 mm, so it's not the most compact 4.7-incher around, but let's not forget that Motorola is about to launch a flagship smartphone, the X, that has the exact same screen size and resolution as the Red Rice. That in itself makes Xiaomi's latest effort rather amazing, frankly.
What's even more amazing here is the price. The Red Rice costs 799 yuan, which amounts to around $130 at today's exchange rates (or €99). This for a fully unlocked device, mind you – with no long-term carrier contracts to worry about. Suddenly those specs don't seem run of the mill anymore, do they?
We're still hoping that one day the 'developed world' will get to see such insane price-per-features ratios in smartphones, but don't hold your breath unless some more Chinese device makers such as Xiaomi finally decide to go global. That's not an easy task, though, since Xiaomi has enough trouble as is manufacturing enough of its devices for the Chinese market alone. Still, one can dream… of some real price-based competition in the mobile world. Sure, competing on specs and software features (don't call them gimmicks) is nice and all, but just imagine how cool it would be for a SIM-free and unlocked £85 or €99 smartphone to be this capable – today.

Kiva, Silatech Launch Microsite for Micro Lending in the Arab World
After partnering to create Kiva Arab Youth in April of this year, Kiva and Silatech have just launched a "microsite" in Arabic alongside a new social media campaign to further highlight the microfinance needs of young entrepreneurs in the Arab world.
Garnering over $360 million in crowdfunded micro loans worldwide, Kiva has attracted nearly 840,000 individual lenders to give small loans to projects across the globe. Justin Sykes, Silatech's Director of Microenterprise, notes that out of this $360 million, only 5% has gone to projects in the Arab world and only 1% of individual lenders come from MENA.
Though Kiva has several field partners in Arab countries including Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Yemen, they have seen very low levels of interest in the Arab world to date – over 40% of the loans to the Arab world have expired unfulfilled.
Silatech saw an opportunity to reach this untapped and unfunded potential in the Arab world. In partnership with Kiva, Silatech has started a heavy online push for Arab youth projects and Arab lenders on the Kiva platform.
Previously, Kiva had created a channel on their site dedicated to Arab youth projects (under 30 years old), but now they're upping the stakes with the new Arabic microsite, which will highlight funded success stories.
Silatech is also incentivizing Kiva lending in the Arab World by offering to match the amounts that lenders pledge. Thus far, Sykes boasts that Silatech has mobilized $1.7 million in loans through the platform, matching 35,000 individual lenders and funding over 1400 projects.
One of the challenges of promoting loans in the region, that has kept rates so low in the Arab World, is that the concept of online giving is very young and credit card trust is low, says Sykes. Yet times are changing. Thanks to this recent boost, the average individual loan to these projects is around US $30-35, with an average total loan amount at around $1500 - now stronger than Kiva's averages in Africa, Sykes explains.
Perhaps it's because of a generational change, he says. "The younger generation, particularly young professionals in the Arab world, don't want to give in the way that their parents or grandparents gave," says Sykes. "They still want to give, they still want to have a charitable impact, and this type of platform offers a new way to do that."
Interested lenders can check out the microsite and find Kiva Arab Youth on Facebook and Twitter.

Big rip off. Doors opened at 8pm and we got there about 8:15. Lame DJ started about 8:45. No one seemed to know where the band was or when they were going to come on. We finally left at 10 after being told that they weren't sure where the band was or when they would start. Expensive drinks while we were waiting and no in/out option at the door. We won't be returning to House of Blues for awhile. Very disappointing.
About the Ticket Supplier: Live Nation - House of Blues Houston
House of Blues Houston opened in October of 2008 and is located in downtown Houston. The only House of Blues to be designed in a vertical format, this massive venue is the anchor for the Houston Pavilions outdoor shopping and entertainment complex. The Bronze Peacock Room pays tribute to Houston's first blues club where Big Momma Thornton and Lightnin' Hopkins played. The giant hand-painted mural in the restaurant portrays these legends, along with hometown heroes Albert Collins Johnny "Guitar" Watson. In keeping with tradition, the House of Blues Houston displays the "Crazy Quilt" and keeps a metal box of mud from the Delta Mississippi underneath its stage.

Everyone knows I loves me some CM Punk. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sure how long I'd get along with him on a personal level, no matter how much I respect his honesty and willingness to tell it like it is. I try to be as open and honest as possible, and while a lot of people know me as willing to say and wear anything, I'm more apt to keep many things, things that don't have to do with wrestling, closer to my vest than I used to. All that being said, I'm a geek to a certain number of things, and I love The Nerdist, so when I saw Punk was going all evil on bad grammar, I was all over that! I try very hard not to make the basic grammar mistakes that bother me so much on the Internet. I try to keep my there's, threws, yours, thens, and toos literally in the right order. I know I sometimes mess them up – as I do affect and effect too often – but I know the grammatically correct way to use the words, it's just my fingers sometimes get the best of me. This is a great way for Punk to get out some of his aggression on something that very obviously bothers him, and he's entertaining so many geeks in the process. I know how tweaked out I get online when I see terrible grammar, spelling and punctuation used rampantly these days, and I think that many people feel that it really doesn't matter. If only one kid sees Punk's rants and realizes how much it does matter, then it's time well spent.
Speaking of Punk. I was going through my email earlier and saw that Punk was injured after his work with Brock last night. It was an email from another site, so I wasn't sure what to believe. I went directly to WNW only to discover that Punk needed four stitches in his chin. This just goes to remind me who to believe, and who to roll my eyes at.
So, Glenn Jacobs is reprising his role as Jacob Goodnight. I'll say that I'm not one for blood and gore, but Jacobs did a great job in See No Evil, and because it's him, I might just be willing to sit through the sequel. Either way, if they use Kane to advertise the movie the way they did last time, I'm excited for the outlook of his characer.
Show Starts
In Ring Segment > B+
I love that Foley tweeted that he liked the comparison between himself and Bryan. There are a lot of similarities between them, more than just their shagginess. Bryan has really stepped up into something that the WWE could never have expected, and I love what they're doing with his character. As much as I love Bryan all shaggy, I think the slicked back look works for him. In fact, I think it really changes up his look in a huge way, but I knew there was no way that he was going to shave his beard. I was shocked that Barrett came out to shave Bryan's face. I don't know who else could have done better, but there's no future there, so why bother?
I think this could have been a lot better, a lot more laughs, a lot stronger. I thought the writing wasn't as strong as it could have been. Bryan was strong, but McMahon wasn't as strong as he could have been, and even Steph was a big wishy-washy.
RVD vs ADR > B-
RVD was quite strong here, but I thought ADR looked weaker than ever. He couldn't seem to keep up with RVD in the ring, and his work looked sloppy. I wasn't overly impressed with ADR in the ring, but after the match he really stepped things up. He looked strong and on point in dealing with Ricardo. Now, I thought Justin announcing that Ricardo was back from injury was a bit obvious, but now that ADR has turned on him, I wonder what his chances are. But I will say that it was nice to see ADR actually put his heart into something. That beat down on Ricardo was some of the most on I've seen ADR work.
Winner – RVD (6:23)
In Ring Segment > D+
I don't know what it is about Cody and Damien, but this just isn't working! Cody is coming off as weak and blah. Sandow is better, as his character has been established, but he's still not great. There's something off with the flow, or their delivery, or something. I know these two have it in them to be great, yet this whole thing is flopping and turning into a total mess. I feel bad for them because I know it's possible and they do have it in them.
Ryback vs Henry > F+
The plus is for Henry and staying strong through crap like this. Henry was actually the strong point in this match. Ryback has turned into a total disappointment who cannot even sell his own character that he's developed forever. He's not even half as strong as Skip at this point.
Winner – Henry via Countout (1:46)
Backstage Segment > D
Eva comes off as vacant and nasty on RAW, and that's kind compares to how she comes off on Total Divas. I'm still not impressed with the Bellas on RAW, and again Natalya is getting crap. I'm so put out with how the Divas are booked that I can barely see straight. Not all women act like high school mean girls, or their victims, and I'm sick of the WWE portraying us all that way.
In Ring Segment > C-
Well, the fans really didn't want to listen to Cena last night! I'm used to them chanting 'Boring!' at Big Show and Henry, but rarely at Cena. Seems as though our love for Bryan is really turning a lot more people against Cena. It's kind of fun to see him play the pseudo-heel in this feud. It feels more natural than him playing it against The Rock. At this point I'd much rather see Bryan on mic, or them in the ring than listen to Cena go off on the same direction on mic, yet again. Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of things about Cena, as I've said before, but right now I'm so bored with him on mic!
Orton brought this segment back up. Mr. MITB is really fitting him in a great way.
Tons of Funk vs The Wyatt Family > B+
I can't say the match was the best, but what went down after the match was delightful. It's sad to see what Funkasaurus and Sweet T have turned into, but they were a solid base for The Wyatt Family to jump from this week. I'm not sure about Harper and Rowan yet, but that will take time, and for me to spend some time watching NXT and not Lost (I refused to watch it when I was on, avoided all spoilers all these years, and am almost through the first season now – loving it!). But I know me, and I won't get to NXT until I'm done watching every episode of lost and catch back up with Days. Anyway, The Wyatt Family is better than Days any day of the week. I love the intensity of Bray, especially working against Kane. Kane doesn't even have to be face to face with Bray for the chemistry to be there. It's fantastic, and with the possibility of an Inferno Match at SummerSlam, things are only going to get better and better!
Backstage Segment > B+
Punk was really solid here, as was Josh. This segment was good, but I think if Axel had walked through, something to get Punk's ire up that much more, would make it stronger.
Kaitlyn vs Layla > D
While Kaitlyn looked really strong in this match, Layla was a mess! She was off her mark all over the place, and messed up her finishing move in a huge way. I know she hasn't worked the ring in front of a large crowd in a very long time (unless I've missed her on Main Event), but wow, what a mess. Kaitlyn carried that match, and AJ did a great job of distraction, but there's only so much they can do when one in the match just isn't pulling their weight. And what was up with that slothing along the top rope? That was very strange!
Winner – Layla (3:07)
Christian vs Slater > B
Christian looked strong in this match, and while it did make some sense to show his strength against Slater, McIntyre and Mahal, I thought putting him in the ring with a jobber was not the best way to push him toward the WHC match a SummerSlam. Slater did look pretty good in this match, and seeing him with Christian reminds me that Slater really isn't that little of a guy, and could make it pretty far if given the chance.
Winner – Christian (3:14)
Punk vs Axel > A-
I really enjoyed the work between Punk and Axel. Their moves were solid, and Axel did well to hold his own against Punk. Axel has what it takes to be a top guy, he just needs more of his personality to show through more. He has the ring skills, he has a look, and he has the family history. Running with Heyman could be the best thing for him right now.
Heyman handled himself really well in this segment. Between fleeing, standing ringside to taunt, then pointing Brock at Punk to take him out – he was as fantastic as ever. Of course I am always tweaky when Brock starts throwing people around, but Punk has really stepped up, tried to talk to Brock, tried to work with him to make this feud and their match something fantastic. If anyone could bring this about, it's Punk. Actually, other than Punk being busted open, and it happens, their work together was pretty solid. I'm more impressed than I'd like to admit.
Winner – Punk via DQ (7:58)
Backstage Segment > A-
I'm going to catch crap for this grade, and while Brock wasn't great, and Heyman was solid, the grade was for one line and how Brock delivered it. That one line being the title of this RIB.
Kofi vs Fandango > B
It seems as though Fandango's ring work is that much better when he's working with a bigger name, someone who really has been around a long time – Jericho, RVD – his ring work is so much greater than when he's in the ring with his contemporaries. Sadly, Kofi falls into the contemporaries position, so this match wasn't great. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as great as I know Fandango can be. I have been hoping Fandango would face RVD at SummerSlam, but with them not interacting in any way during RAW, my hopes are less great than they once were.
Winner – Kofi (3:46)
Backstage Segment > B
Steph in tears over McMahon ripping her a new one over Bryan just doesn't feel very real to me. At this point in their lives, personal and business, I don't see Steph having such a reaction to her father so easily. It's one of those moments where I just cannot suspend my disbelief enough. Beyond that, I'm really enjoying the family drama. I'm really seeing something going down at SummerSlam with the WWE Championship Match and the McMahons and Trip.
Usos vs The Real Americans > B
I'm so glad to the see the Usos branching out and facing people other than Rollins and Reigns. They've really stepped up their game and proved they're a force to be reckoned with. I like the Usos, and I enjoy their work. I also really enjoyed seeing Cesaro work the ring again. In fact, seeing Cesaro hit the gut wrench, and then the neutralizer was just fantastic. I wish I didn't feel so negatively against Swagger, but it is what it is right now.
Winners – The Real Americans (4:53)
Big E vs Ziggler > B-
Wow, did Big E and Layla wake up on the wrong side of the bed? He was just as off as Layla was. Ziggler's famouser had no Big E below it, and from where I sat, it looked as though Big E was the one who fouled it up. I do find it interesting that Ziggler uses the famouser as he looks so much like Billy Gunn when he hits it. I'm sure Big E will get better, and I know he's better than he's been showing in the ring with Ziggler. I really think their styles just don't work well together.
What does confuse me is how upset Kaitlyn was about her costing Ziggler his match. Does Kaitlyn have a crush on Ziggler?
Winner – Big E (4:33)
Ringside > F
I know that USA and the WWE crossover and help each other push things, but that Michelle from Summer Camp saying she wanted to hit someone over the head with a chair really annoyed me. Also, I know they dressed for TV, but no one goes to a taping of RAW dressed like they're ready for a beauty pageant!
6 Man Tag Match > A-
Bryan really carried this match, and did a lovely job doing it. That man just continues to show what a star, and a wrestler he is, and it didn't hurt that he was working against Rollins and Ambrose to show how strong they are.
It was after the match that things really started heating up. Orton showed his heel that much more, and did a serious job of it. There was a few moments of uncertainty from Orton, but we've all been waiting for this to happen for quite a while, and it really is the perfect time. Some people didn't like that the WWE Champ and the #1 Contender for the WWE Championship was taken out by Mr. MITB and The Shield, but to me it makes absolute sense. They can't be unstoppable, and both Orton and The Shield are known for taking advantage and taking out top people, so this made perfect sense to me.
Winners – Bryan & Orton & Cena via DQ (5:24)
Post Show
With Cena and the WWE selling his 'elbow injury' I wonder if it's a way for Cena to lose to Bryan without losing too much face. Unless Cena is in the ICU, he will be in the match with Bryan at SummerSlam, it's just who Cena is, but I like that they're already trying to swerve us going in. At first it looked as though Punk and Brock would be the main event at SummerSlam, but they absolutely have to put Cena and Bryan last on the card.

King Abdullah congratulates President Barack Obama
November 7, 2012
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz has sent a cable of congratulations to President Barack Obama on his re-election as President of the United States. The message stated, "On the occasion of your election as President of the United States for a second term, I express to you our congratulations and best wishes in my name and on behalf of the government and people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, wishing you constant good health and happiness, and the people of the United States of America more progress and prosperity. We praise on this occasion the strength of the close historical relations between our two friendly countries, which we have been keen on their development in all fields, expressing our greetings and appreciation of Your Excellency."
Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz sent a similar cable of congratulations to President Obama.

Police arrested two suspects in a series of arsons that destroyed five portable toilets in Camas earlier in the month.
Ryan Ruge, 19, and Chasen Sincavage, 18, both of Camas, were arrested by the Camas Police Department on Thursday after a weekslong investigation into the incinerated porta-potties.
The two were taken into custody after they attempted to collect a $10,000 reward from the Arson Alarm Foundation and the Washington Insurance Council by falsely implicating a juvenile male who was not involved with setting the fires, authorities said.
Ruge, Sincavage and a third suspect allegedly conceived of the story to cover their tracks.
Officials say the string of torched porta-potties began on March 5. In some cases, melted plastic was all that was left behind of the portable toilets.
The third suspect has not been arrested. Police are actively seeking him, said Sgt. Scot Boyles of the Camas Police Department.
Ruge and Sincavage were charged with second-degree arson and making false statements to the police. They are being housed at the Clark County Jail.

Located in Morocco's largest city, our Casablanca accommodations feature all the comforts of home and are ideally located in the heart of this culturally rich and historic area, near shopping centers, the famous Hassan II Mosque, Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohammed V.
Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco, is located in North Africa with a population of nearly 34 million. The capital city is Rabat, but the largest city is Casablanca.
Filled with unforgettable sights and history, Morocco will fulfill your expectations with ancient walled cities, shopping in the medina, desert-crossing camels, beautiful date palms and spectacular mosques and museums.
Independent since 1956, Morocco is a youthful country with much to see and do. The Port of Casablanca is considered Morocco's chief port and is one of the largest artificial ports in the world.
Craft Markets
Metal Crafts
Hassan II Mosque - The Hassan II mosque is one of the main tourist attractions in Casablanca and it is certainly well worth the visit. Built to commemorate the former king's 60th birthday, Casablanca's premier house of prayer is one of the largest in the world. Designed by French architect Michel Pinseau, it can accommodate 25,000 worshippers inside and 80,000 more outside. The detailed Zellij tile work, particularly around the fountains, is absolutely stunning. This is one of the only mosques you may visit as a non-Muslim, although you will need to be part of a guided tour.
Be prepared to remove your shoes before you go inside the main prayer section, and it's generally a good idea to cover your head out of respect.
The Hassan Tower - Rabat's two major attractions stand opposite each other looking out over the Oued Bou Regreg. The Hassan Tower is the towering minaret of the Hassan Mosque. It was originally intended to be 200 feet high and one of the tallest in the world. Today the tower stands at 145 feet after being abandoned upon the death of the sultan in 1199. The Hassan Tower is still a magnificent structure that looms over the remains of its ruined mosque which was severely damaged by an earthquake in 1755.
All that is left today of the mosque are several rows of reconstructed columns. The damage does nothing to diminish the scale of its grandness. This is truly a fantastic sight to see.
Mausoleum of Mohammed V - Facing the Hassan Tower is one of the country's most important shrines, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, which is open to non-Muslims. Within the mausoleum lie the tombs of the King Mohammed V, and his two sons King Hassan II and Prince Moulay Abdellah.
Designed 6 years after Mohammed V's death in 1961, the building's plain exterior white walls and green-tile roof betray an interior of exceptional traditional Moroccan craftsmanship. The unbelievable mosaics of zellij start at the marble floors and rise to a ceiling of hand-carved cedar wood and gold leaf. The three ground-floor tombs are carved from white onyx. The tomb of Mohammed V is surrounded by those of his two sons which is visible from the interior balcony.
The entire complex, which encompasses The Hassan Tower and the Mohammed V Mosque, is open daily and guarded by royal guards on mounted on horses.
Rick's Cafe - Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman may have never set foot in Casablanca, but the spirit of the movie is alive in downtown Casablanca. The interior of the building has been restored to resemble the era depicted in the movie, and is dominated by the central courtyard with its authentic 1930s Pleyel piano.
If you've never seen the movie "Casablanca", it is shown every evening in an upstairs dining room that is filled with movie memorabilia.
The menu is filled with Moroccan standards such as a lamb tagine, but also offers many other diverse dishes.
Tajine Wa Tanjia - Opened in 2004, Tajine Wa Tanjia offers a perfect combination of reasonable prices, authentic cuisine and a warm and intimate atmosphere. Their extensive menu reads like a Moroccan cookbook, offering almost every national dish possible.
The interior of this restaurant has a warm ambiance. The low lighting subtly highlights the walls, which are decorated with Moroccan lanterns and mirrors.
Morocco's craftsmen are some of the most skilled in the world, with generations of families working in ceramics, jewelry, leather, metal, and wood.
Many stores are located within the local markets, called souks, and this is where the shopping bargains will be found. Bartering is part of the routine for locals, and is an accepted and expected practice.

In a previous article, I stated that Homeschoolers can get into GA state colleges without an accredited diploma. Still, if you are planning on sending your homeschooler to a Georgia state college, you will still have some hurdles to overcome.
Coursework: To get into a Georgia state college, the student needs to meet the academic requirements of the college, which is in line, for the most part, with what is required to graduate from a Georgia high school. You will be safe if your child has studied the following:
4 credit years of math including Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and any advanced math such as Statistics, Calculus, Pre-calculus, or a host of others
4 credit years of language arts including Grammar and Composition and American Lit
4 credit years of Science including Physical science or Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and any other science
3-4 credit years of History including US History and World History
2+ credit years of the same foreign language
1 credit year of art
4 credit years in electives of your choice.
This is very doable as long a s the student tackles at least 6 courses every year. Some colleges may require less, but if you aim for all of the courses on this list, all bases will be covered.
Test Scores
As unfair as it seems, in order for a homeschooler to be easily accepted into a Georgia state college, their SAT or ACT should be higher than the average student entering the college. Most specifically, they should have a 1090 math and verbal SAT score or a 23 ACT score. With these scores or higher, a GA public school will accept a homeschool portfolio because it is clear that the student has been educated to an acceptable level. If the student was to score in the 85th percentile on these tests (approx 1280 SAT or 28 ACT) and they will also receive the HOPE scholarship.
Consider accreditation
Even with crossing all of the courses off of the academic to-do list, and getting a high ACT score, colleges may still balk at the students GPA. These "mommy grades" are not taken as seriously as grades assigned by "teachers" even if these teachers be other moms at local homeschool co-ops.
In our case, we decided to get one of my two homeschooled children homeschool accreditation, not for public college admission, but for scholarship eligibility. We had to have an outside agency verify her grades so that they would be accepted at face value at one of the schools she is considering. Interestingly enough, this also opened her up also being eligible to apply to all of Georgia's state colleges.

One of the biggest limitations of electric buses is range. Now, though, a US company has eked out over 250 miles (402 km) from one of its electric buses. The Proterra Catalyst XR is said to afford the best efficiency rating ever for a 40-ft (12-m) transit bus, at 22 mpg (12.8 l/l00 km) equivalent.Read More
The full moon has long been associated with any number of superstitions. While links with lunacy, violence, fertility, disasters, and the stock market have been thoroughly debunked, the possibility of a causative role in some arenas still remains a possibility. A lunar ranging study carried out using reflectors has long contended with the "Full-Moon Curse," a near-total fading of reflected signals during the full Moon. This Curse is real, and has now been explained.Read More
After close to a decade of observations, astronomers have accurately determined the distance to our neighboring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The measurement, which calculates the distance at 163,000 light-years, was achieved by studying rare pairs of stars known as eclipsing binaries.Read More
The size and age of our Universe is not only a critically important issue in cosmology, but is also among the most controversial and delicate of the cosmological questions. Infrared observations made using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have now given us the most precise estimate yet of the rate at which our Universe is expanding. The key was not the discovery of a new method for measuring distance. Rather, astronomers discovered how to measure brightness more accurately. The new value for the Hubble constant, good to within three percent, is 74.3 kilometers per second per megaparsec (km/s/Mpc). Read More
On November 17th of last year, a group of four wave-powered autonomous aquatic robots set out from San Francisco, embarking on a planned 37,000-mile (60,000-km) trip across the Pacific ocean.

College Hockey:Notebook: Bemidji State-Notre Dame
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. —
Don't Mess with the CHA
The Beavers came into this NCAA tournament as the CHA playoff champions in the league's second-to-last season, and Bemidji head coach Tom Serratore wants the conference to get respect come tourney time next year.
"I'm hoping that we get our automatic bid next year," said Serratore. "I think it would be a travesty if we didn't. We not only have a great league but we have four teams who have represented college hockey extremely well.
"Our kids and our programs have done nothing to put ourselves in that situation so I'm hoping next year that the powers that be recognize that give us one more year of an automatic bid."
Serratore is adamant about the level of hockey played in his four-team league — something difficult to argue after a win like this.
"Our league's good," said Serratore, now in his eighth season as head coach. "Take a look at teams in our league. We have a good league. Take a look at who we play in nonconference and who we beat. Take a look over the last three to four years the teams in the WCHA [we've played] and look at what our record is in predominantly road games."
In the last five years, BSU has the best winning percentage of any team in college hockey in its own conference play — .704, with a record of 79-30-11.
"We're the winningest program in college hockey and that does carry over. Our guys our very proud. They know … the culture of our program, the history of our program."
And, says Notre Dame head coach Jeff Jackson, the Beavers aren't the only ones who know.
"I don't know how many times I got asked this week, 'Who's Bemidji State?'" said Jackson. "I think people know now."
They Solved That Problem
From the opening minutes of this one, the Beavers put the Fighting Irish off their usual game and solved the problem between the Notre Dame pipes, senior Jordan Pearce.
Coming into Saturday's contest, ND had the top defense in the nation, allowing just 1.73 goals per game. And Pearce had the second-best goals-against average in the nation (1.68).
"We're a puck pressure team," said BSU captain Travis Winter. "We had to get on them right away. With our pressure we were able to force a play. Lucky things happen some time [but] luck favors those who are most prepared.
"It was a lucky goal and we'll take it, but we moved on from there."
That lucky goal resulted from a rare Pearce mistake when he couldn't clear the puck from behind his own net. Chris McKelvie pounced on it.
"That first goal threw him off," said ND head coach Jeff Jackson of the usually unflappable Pearce.
"It took a funny carom off the boards and it got caught between his stick and his pads. There were a lot of strange bounces going on tonight off the boards and glass, but you make your own breaks. I think Bemidji forced the issue with their forecheck
"That kid has been unbelievable for us this year."
Jackson was quick to point out that Pearce had little defensive help. "In my opinion, one of the strengths of our team has been our defense, and I can say that probably three of our top four defensemen — maybe including our fifth defenseman — it may have been one of their worst games this season.
"But I think a lot of that had to do with Bemidji, too."
In scoring five goals on Notre Dame, Bemidji State accomplished what only two other teams have. Northern Michigan did it and lost, 9-5, Feb. 13, and Notre Dame opened the season with a 5-2 loss to Denver.

Real estate agents say prices on foreclosure properties are rising in Charlotte
Conventional wisdom suggests that if you buy a home that was foreclosed upon, you're going to pay less. According to a new report from online real estate site Zillow, that discount is shrinking in markets across the nation.

Compared to normal alternators used in conventional FEAD systems the alternator-starters used in BAS systems have higher power requirements and consequently relatively high inertia. BAS systems may experience resonant vibration which causes high loads, noise, discomfort and in some cases requires electrical re-calibration which may offset some of the potential system benefit.
Litens BAS isolator pulley (pending patent application) decouples the alternator rotor inertia from the accessory drive belt by a unique steel torsion spring. Engineered control of the system resonant frequency is achieved by tuning the spring stiffness to the alternator inertia mass. In the case where alternator torsional resonance is the first vibration mode of the system, the BAS isolator pulley completely eliminates the resonance and dramatically reduces the dynamic forces on the belt. Belt induced high speed fluctuations to the alternator are absorbed by the torsion spring and the alternator rotor (inertia mass) is relatively unaffected.
During driving mode the torque is transmitted through the spring. In starting mode the torque is transmitted directly through the pulley by means of solid stops. Boost and Regen modes can be supported.

… actions remain legal only because lawmakers have chosen not to criminalize them
August 26, 2010
There've been lots of explanations for the election result on Saturday. Here's another one:
The IPA's Julie Novak prepared it. Sure – there's lots of reasons people vote the way they do – but maybe – just maybe – if you work for the government you're more likely to vote Labor.
Today everyone's talking about Tony Abbott's policy costings. Just shows we need an independent Parliamentary Budget Office! I said it on Monday's 7:30 Report, and here's the IPA's Tim Wilson on Lateline last night. Why shouldn't we trust Treasury? All their mistakes! Read what the IPA thinks of Treasury's failures here and here and here.
If you missed the ABC's Four Corners program on Monday it's here. It's a free market perspective on the GFC! (How did it get to air??) Look out for Peter Schiff, the guy who predicted the GFC and who we told you about a few weeks ago.
If you've got an iPhone, you're bored with Angry Birds, and you want to know more about climate change, have a look at the 'Our Climate' app.
Here's something moderately scary from America. In Philadelphia you need a business licence to blog. And here's something really scary from America – via the National Review Online. This is from the editorial in Saturday's New York Times – 'But many of Mr DeLay's actions remain legal only because lawmakers have chosen not to criminalize them.' Think about it for a moment and what it means. Here's the original editorial.
If you're in the mood for some thoughtful reading consider Ken Minogue's gracious 3500 word analysis of democracy and modern morality from The New Criterion. Everybody's talking about it.
On Friday in The AFR, I said that we should be afraid of politicians' visions. In Saturday's Herald Sun, Alan Moran argued that housing was forgotten in the election. Julie Novak said that the mining sector was left in the lurch in The Courier Mail on Monday. And Chris Berg in The Drum has been writing about Julia Gillard and the evils of compulsory voting.

Of course you'd rather be poor
August 19, 2010
You would have seen the media coverage about an open letter from 51 'economists' claiming Labor's stimulus saved Australia from recession.
Has anyone actually looked at the record of these people? The instigator of the letter was Professor Raja Junankar, author of 'Marx's economics'.
Some of the other 'research' these 'economists' are responsible for includes:
- 'Is this racism? Representations of South Africa in the Sydney Morning Herald since the inauguration of Thabo Mbeki as president'
- 'Rethinking left union strategy: Left productivism and the labour process in Australia since the end of cold-war.'
And my favourite:
- 'Direct and derived policies: illicit drug use and greenhouse gas emissions in Australia'
Yep – I'm glad these people work at taxpayer-funded universities rather than in the real world.
Maybe these economists would welcome the news that Australia is now up there with Venezuela when it comes to sovereign risk and tax rate uncertainty for mining projects. All thanks to Kevin Rudd's resources tax. Here's the report released last week by Canada's Fraser Institute (go to page 18).
And would you be happier if you were poorer? The authors of an influential new book The Spirit Level think so. It's no surprise the British Labour Party (and some misguided Tories) love it. In the latest IPA Review Julie Novak explains why they're wrong. And Peter Saunders from the CIS has this on the dodgy statistics behind the book. Here's a summary of the debate from The Guardian a few days ago.
If you missed the IPA's Melbourne launch of 100 Great Books of Liberty last Wednesday, you can hear the highlights of the panel discussion with Michael Kroger, Sally Warhaft, and Peter van Onselen from Monday's Counterpoint on Radio National. Buy the book here.
In The Sunday Age, Chris Berg argued that the Charter of Budget Honesty is useless, in The Drum on Tuesday he said government was stopping broadband. In The Washington Times yesterday, Tim Wilson said that green protectionism will hurt consumers. And on Tuesday, Tim was on SBS' Insight saying Northern Australia should be a free trade zone.
The August IPA Review is out now. In it Tony Barry discusses the fraud of 'hope politics', Sinclair Davidson explains the financial shambles of out last PM, and Brad Laver reviews Nothing to Envy – the story of North Korea's totalitarian tragedy.

I play gym
August 12, 2010
One big policy has escaped scrutiny this federal election. It's the Greens' policy on 'non-competitive' sport – apparently they want us to play more of it. Imagine explaining you play 'non-competitive' sports to a friend:
|What sports do you play?
|I play gym and yoga.
|They're not really sports though.
|Yes they are – they're non-competitive sports.
|A non-competitive sport is not a sport – dude. It's just a thing you do.
|Nuh-uh. I vote Green.
Yep. It's bizarre. Here's something just as bizarre – but no laughing matter. Boroondara Council in Melbourne will impose a fine of up to $1000 on residents who don't display their house numbers. According to the mayor 'it's a fundamental right to be able to identify your own property'. Huh? (So why I can't find it listed anywhere in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights?)
If you want some comic relief from local councils gouging more money out of taxpayers, read this from the Atlantic Wire a fortnight ago on whether Jedi Knights are Libertarian or Socialist. You'll see a mention of this famous press release issued by the Australian Bureau of Statistics in 2001.
Here's some serious stuff. On Monday Robert Gottliebsen in the Business Spectator gave a very good summary of why the government's school building program ran billions of dollars over budget. And here's the IPA report he referred to.
And if Paul Krugman really annoys you – read this demolition of him in the American Thinker from last week.
In The Drum yesterday, Richard Allsop said a 'Big Australia' is nothing to fear. In The Sunday Age, Chris Berg questioned if the Greens will ever grow up, on The Drum on Tuesday he looked at Labor's internal war and on Friday suggested a speech for Tony Abbott. In the Bangkok Post on Monday and The Washington Times on Saturday Tim Wilson discussed Green protectionism. In the Herald Sun on Saturday and The Drum on Monday, Alan Moran wondered where all the climate change policies have gone. And in the AFR on Friday I said there actually are big policy differences this election.

What next: a water pistol buyback?
August 5, 2010
Before we get to the rest of Hey: You've gotta see this great campaign ad from Bob Katter, a north Queensland MP. He's even solid on property rights!
Today, Tony Abbott has announced his health plan – 1500 more hospital beds than Julia Gillard's plan.
Sure. Great, I guess.
But what's the point if all our doctors and nurses do is complete forms and wrangle with red tape?
- There are more than TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND pages of legislation saying what medical workers cannot do
- There are more than THREE HUNDRED Acts of parliament on health
- There are EIGHTY Commonwealth health regulatory agencies.
It's what the IPA's Julie Novak, Tim Wilson and I found in this report we did with the Australian Centre for Health Research. Maybe Gillard and Abbott should cut red tape … then we can talk about more beds.
We've been telling you for ages Gillard and Rudd are wrong: the stimulus didn't save Australia. But we're not alone! Here's The Daily Telegraph's John Rolfe yesterday, and in The Australian last week Tony Makin agrees. There's a wonderful essay in the latest City Journal on what all the books on the GFC teach us about what actually happened in the crisis – it's here.
While we're at it, this article from the January Cato Policy Report continues to be – I reckon – one of the most insightful pieces on the GFC. Not even the regulators understood their own regulations!
The IPA's Tim Wilson has been everywhere – he has a new TV show, Snapshot, every Wednesday at 9:15am on ABC24. He was also on The Drum yesterday. And today he's got a new paper looking at green protectionism.
From the Nanny State files: Andrew Bolt has a fantastic column on how the Nanny State is holding back Melbourne's bike-share program. And in Queensland – you might have to get a license to keep your kids' toy guns!
And the National Health and Medical Research Council thinks people should go unhealthy – for the planet! The Australian had the story last month. (Speaking of which: here's a great sketch about rude vegetarians from the show Mitchell and Webb. Is eating cat good for Gaia?)
Here's what IPA staff have been talking about this week: In The Australian today, Tom Switzer discovered that climate action isn't going anywhere. In The Sunday Age, I said that Abbott and Gillard's law and order policies were off the mark, and on The Drum on Tuesday that Wikileaks might be missing the point.

A jury composed of 11 people recommended prison for a Wichita Falls man Tuesday, Jan. 28 after a hardfought trial in the 30th District Court of the Wichita County Courthouse, according to an article in the Wednesday, Jan. 29 Wichita Falls Times Record News newspaper. Lead prosecutor John Gillespie successfully argued for a conviction for injury to a child and also continuous violence against the family last Friday.
Gillespie and fellow prosecutor Grace Pandithurai presented evidence against defendant Brent Allen Benefield, 32, which led to the conviction of the father and husband.
The jury heard punishment closing arguments from First Assistant District Attorney Gillespie and attorneys from the Wichita County Public Defender's Office Tuesday before returning with a recommendation of 10 years in the Texas penitentiary system for injury to a child and five years for continuous violence against the family.
Gillespie and Pandithurai produced witnesses and scientific evidence which led to the convictions in connection with the death of Benefield's 4-month old son, Lucas Benefield and abuse of his wife Sarah Price.
A unique aspect of the case was the illness of one juror and medical problems for a second juror which left only 11 jurors to determine punishment when an alternate was added.
Gillespie argued during punishment that the acts of violence alone supported the rendition of a maximum sentence of 20 years. The prosecutor further referred to all the experiences in life Lucas would be unable to experience such as birthdays and Christmas celebrations.
Gillespie further said that at a young age Lucas "ran out of tomorrows" because of the defendant's behavior.
Chief Public Defender James Rasmussen told the jury that since they found his client guilty of reckless injury to a child rather than knowing or intentional injury that this was a proper case in which to provide community supervision (previously called probation). Rasmussen said that the defendant was eligible for a probated sentence based on the fact he had not prior ciminal convictions before this trial.
Assistant Public Defender Brennon Brady also argued for probation, saying his client would be well-supervised if given that opportunity.
Brady also said on Channel 3 and Channel 6 the defense would appeal the jury's verdict and recommended sentence.
Judge Bob Brotherton sentenced the defendant to 10 years and 5 years in prison, following the jury's recommendation. Under the law, the two sentences must be served concurrently. Brotherton is presiding judge of the 30th District Court located in Wichita Falls.
Gillespie said today, Thursday, Jan. 30, "The defense called several paid witnesses who were exposed on the stand as testifying liars. One of the defense's paid witnesses changed his opinions about as often as he changed bow ties."
The First Assistant District Attorney further said, "There was overwhelming medical evidence of the defendant's guilt. The jury heard three weeks of testimony and saw clearly that the defendant was the one who shook his own baby to death."
Gillespie, who is a graduate of Texas A&M and Baylor Law School, also said, "I respect the jury's decision. They are the voice of the community. They worked very hard on this case to come up with a just verdict."
Gillespie also discussed the victim in the case, saying, "Baby Lucas's last moments were filled with violence from the hand of his father."
He then said, "At the age of 4 months old , baby Lucas ran out of tomorrows."

Possible Duplicate: Copying files to SD card not saving
When copying large (or even files of a few KB) to an SD card from Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat), the files appear to be there, but when I access the card from another device, the files are either missing or 0 bytes in size.
I suspect that the problem is that it takes time for the files to copy to the card and I'm taking it out too soon, but there is no progress bar - I'm just doing it from the command line. And it even happens when I cleanly eject the card.
Is there a preferred way to do this so I can know that the files are copied?
