Fat Pizza maker Paul Fenech to stage 'Bogan Idol'
- From: news.com.au
- November 12, 2008
- TV show to seek nation's biggest bogan
- Cash and possible makeover offered
- People encouraged to dob in a bogan
THE hunt is on for the nation's biggest bogan for what TV makers promise will be an eye-opening "uber reality show" along the lines of Australian Idol.
Under the headline "Bogans Wanted For New TV Show" a classified ad in newspapers today is seeking applicants with tattoos, missing teeth and "true blue in King Gees" who have the chance to win big cash prizes.
"It will be a search for Australia's biggest bogan," said cult comedy TV writer and director Paul Fenech.
"I want to put flannelette on plasma. We want mullets, tattoos, AVOs and defactos. It will be like Bogan Idol."
Fenech, the writer and director behind SBS TV shows Fat Pizza and the currently showing Swift and Shift, said his new show for early next year would be something like a cross between "Cops, Dog The Bounty Hunter, Steve Irwin and Australia's Funniest Home Videos."
Fenech said he thought the show might take a State of Origin type format in running the "bogan Olympics" but would not divulge more for fear that Channel 9 might do a "hokey" rip-off, probably hosted by Eddie McGuire.
Fenech did promise the prizes for the show's winners would be beyond their "wildest Centrelink cheques" and may include a makeover to turn a bogan into something more socially acceptable.
Fenech has encouraged those who consider themselves bogan enough to apply by email (including a photo of their teeth) but he also wants vigilantes to dob in a bogan.
He said the program will send out field operatives to track down bogans where they live by lurking near Centrelinks, bus stops and monitoring police radio call-outs.
"Bogans are Australians. It is not so much the underclass of Australia anymore it's the overclass been kept low," Fenech said.
"This is the time for the white trash of Australia to shine."

From worst to champions
By JAY COHEN
AP Sports Writer
CHICAGO — When Rocky Wirtz took over the Chicago Blackhawks six years ago, they were among the worst teams in the NHL.
Fast forward to Tuesday, when the owner mingled with fans and friends hours after the Blackhawks flew home with the Stanley Cup for the second time in four seasons. It's been quite the turnaround, and the 60-year-old Wirtz thinks there is more to come.
"I think we're going to see a lot of good years ahead of us," he said.
It sure looks that way.
Unlike in 2010, when the title-winning team underwent changes because of salary-cap issues, the Blackhawks will be able to bring back many of their top players next season when they try to become the first repeat Stanley Cup winner since the Detroit Red Wings in 1998.
Forwards Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp, and defensemen Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook are all under contract for at least two more seasons. Brandon Saad, one of the finalists for the Calder Trophy given to the NHL's top rookie, is years away from restricted free agency.
"I think there's something about our core," said Kane, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the playoffs. "Hopefully we can stay together a long time, because that's two Cups in four years, and we seem to only be getting better and better as players as time goes on here."
The Blackhawks lost in the first round of the playoffs in each of the previous two seasons, but general manager Stan Bowman decided to stay the course.
He kept Joel Quenneville in place even though the coach was hired by his predecessor, Dale Tallon. Corey Crawford was given time to develop in goal, and he rewarded the organization's patience with a terrific performance in this year's playoffs. Kane matured into one of the NHL's top players.
Ask Wirtz and team president John McDonough about the Blackhawks' turnaround, and their response often includes some variation of hire the right people and then stay out of the way. The steady leadership in the front office is one of the reasons Chicago is the first franchise with two titles since the NHL instituted a salary cap in 2005.
"I think Stan Bowman and Al MacIsaac and Norm Maciver and everybody in our hockey operations, they do a meticulous job," McDonough said, "and they've been planning for this offseason as we did before for months and months, so we'll be ready for it.
"We're going to do everything we can and try to keep as many of these guys as we can and just keep this rolling."
But with the salary cap dropping to $64.3 million next season, it's going to be next to impossible for the Blackhawks to bring everyone back.
According to CapGeek.com, forwards Bryan Bickell, Michal Handzus, Viktor Stalberg and Jamal Mayers, defenseman Michal Rozsival and goalie Ray Emery are eligible for unrestricted free agency.
Bickell is likely headed for a big pay day that would put him out of Chicago's reach unless it decides to shed salary to make room for the physical winger. The 6-foot-4 Bickell had nine goals and eight assists in the playoffs, including the tying score at the end of the third period in the Blackhawks' title-clinching 3-2 victory at Boston on Monday night.
Stalberg and Emery probably won't be back, as well. Stalberg was in and out of the lineup during the playoffs after he had nine goals and 14 assists in his third season with Chicago. With Crawford's emergence, Emery didn't make a postseason appearance, and the Blackhawks also signed Antti Raanta of Finland in June.
"What you're going to have with a hard salary cap, you have to keep bringing in younger players all the time," Wirtz said. "You can't just go up the free-agent market and buy a team. You have to do it the old-fashioned way and it's developing it."
They certainly made all the right moves this year, when the Blackhawks stormed to the league's best record for the lockout-shortened season. They earned at least one point in the first 24 games, setting an NHL record.
The banner regular season raised expectations for the playoffs, and the NHL's top-seeded team nearly faltered in the second round against the Red Wings. Chicago dropped three of the first four games against Detroit before winning three in a row to advance.
Toews and Co. seemed to find their stride after they were nearly eliminated by the Red Wings, ending the Kings' title defense in five games in the Western Conference finals and closing out the Bruins with three straight victories.
The dramatic Game 6 win in Boston made Chicago the first team to win the Presidents' Trophy and the Stanley Cup in the same season since Detroit in 2008. The Presidents' Trophy goes to the team with the most points in the regular season.
"It was that type of season where we did a lot of good things right," Quenneville said Monday night. "Commend the competitiveness and the perseverance of our team, especially the way things ended. It was that type of season, and it was special."

The Baggies have reached the 40-point mark in the Barclays Premier League via back-to-back wins over Liverpool and Sunderland and are only two points adrift of sixth-placed Everton.
Clarke is now targeting 50 points but thinks the Europa League could just be out of reach, especially if only the team which finishes fifth is eligible at the end of the campaign.
He said: "I'm pleased we reached 40 points but also disappointed it has taken us to the end of February to reach it because we put ourselves in a great position.
"I was hopeful we could reach the target a little bit earlier. The lads know me well. I don't smile, I'm a little bit grumpy and I just keep pushing them.
"I know the talent we have here and I know what we have in this group, and I want to keep pushing them so hopefully they go on and have a really good season.
"Fifty points now becomes the next target and a realistic one."
But when asked if the Europa League was a possibility, Clarke said: "I think we are still a little bit away from there.
"It is difficult to gauge the Europa League because it only goes down to fifth position at the moment. That's all you can say and maybe fifth position is just a little bit beyond us at the moment."

John Ingram is the current sheriff of Brunswick County. Tim Daniels is a sergeant with the North Carolina Highway Patrol. They both have experience in law enforcement, and they both want to be sheriff.
Now a Republican, Ingram was first elected sheriff by the Brunswick County Democratic Party's Executive Committee in May 2008, when former sheriff Ronald Hewett resigned amid and federal investigation.

To move gangs and drugs out of Brunswick County—that is why Louie Lewis said he is running for sheriff.
"The reason I'm running is the drugs in Brunswick County and the gangs moving in. I want to see if more can be done to help slow that stuff down or get rid of it," Louie Lewis said.
"If I can get to the source [of drugs in the county], I believe I can slow this stuff down a little bit."
CALABASH—Bob Warzel wants answers.
He's also starting to believe he won't get them.
A year after undergoing removal of a transplanted kidney believed to be cancerous, Warzel and his wife, Pat, said no one in the medical realm is owning up to responsibility for the defective organ.
CAROLINA SHORES— Assistant town administrator Amanda Chestnut says the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission grievance she filed last October about sex discrimination and retaliation by Mayor Stephen Selby has to do in part with comments Selby made on several occasions about her abilities to do her job as the "weaker sex."
Chestnut now believes she is being retaliated against for filing the grievance.
District Attorney Rex Gore said he loves the job he has been going to for the past 20 years and wants the voters to give him four more.
Gore is seeking the Democratic nomination to run for district attorney for the 13th prosecutorial district for a sixth term.
He is being challenged in the Democratic Primary by Butch Pope, a Whiteville attorney.
"My motivation is as a defense lawyer for 26 years, I have been studying the prosecution. After playing defense for 26 years, you learn a lot about offense," Pope said.

County commissioner Phil Norris is seeking the GOP nomination to run for his third term as county commissioner. Norris, of Ash, is being challenged by Corrine McCray, of Calabash, a political newcomer.
"My main motivation is out of concern for the way things are—the economy. I just feel like we need some experience in office. It's probably the most difficult times in the county, or anywhere else, as far as the economy is concerned," Norris said.
Norris said his background and experience make him the best candidate for county commissioner.
Soil and Water Conservation Board member Randy Sullivan is challenging incumbent Marty Cooke for the GOP nomination to run for county commissioner for District 2.
Cooke, who is seeking his second partial term and first full four-year term as county commissioner, said he is running for re-election because, "I have really fallen in love with Brunswick County."

Lars Backman flew into the United States on April 12 for business in Boston, Tampa and Charlotte. He was scheduled to fly back to Sweden on April 20.
With the majority of European airports, including his final destination Stockholm, closed and planes grounded due to ash from the eruption, Backman was skeptical he would make it home.

lol my old old old old name was gerbil or hamster clock but then i was like i cant just give myself a clock name so im mognet now
what is this.the sound is so anoying so is get 0.the Interactivity is shit :].i give the Graphics 3 since its snes Graphics.the Violence is nothing so 0.the Style is shit so 0. and it is notfunny at all so 0.Overall 0.this is shit do not play it pl ok thanks.
Several things wrong with this game.
1) The enemy clocks don't fight back.
2) The shields you can use to block enemy fire can't be damaged.
3) Your stuck with nothing to do after you beat all the clocks.
4) There's one ONE FREAKIN LEVEL!!! (which by the way this one also ties into number 3)
Honestly... I've seen a few of the clocks come up with stuff amillion times better than this. Nuff said.
A flawed space invaders clone.
Seriously, I was expecting something a bit more original than just another clone...
- You shouldn't be shooting clocks in a clock game.
- The enemies should shoot back. It's far too easy as it is.
- There should be a screen explaining the controls. Or at least tell us them in your author's comments.
- After defeating all the enemies, something should happen. Maybe just a congratulatory screen. Maybe start the level again with some numbers changed, to make it a bit harder. Maybe have multiple levels with more imaginative differences.

This play was entertaining and funny. Well acted and no profanity.
Our family all enjoyed it. My husband, daughter and I didn't have a problem understanding the Shakespearean dialog either.
Would go again. We attended the matinee. Dress casual and bring a sweater. Park behind the center.

Stripping out funds spent on refugees, aid was still up 1.7% in real terms, according to official data collected by the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC).
Statelessness is a global problem - it affects half the world's countries - with an estimated 10-15 million people deprived of a nationality. The map shows the locations of stateless or at risk populations numbering 500 or more, highlighting countries with the highest concentration. The data is incomplete and contains estimates; 70% is not collected or acknowledged by the countries where the stateless live. The single largest cause of statelessness is inheritance of status, with at least 5 million stateless children and a new one born every 10 minutes.
Asylum seekers and other migrants are arriving in Europe and encountering rapidly changing border controls as they seek transit through Europe. The EU is implementing its "hotspot" approach for new arrival registration in Italy and Greece. This is a snapshot of the situation based on available unclassified data as of March 4, 2016.

Distinguished President, Excellencies,
Over the past ten days, many delegations have shared with me their alarm about the growing disarray in many countries. And among other issues, I have raised with many of them my concerns about arrests, harassment and spurious prosecutions of journalists, activists, political opponents and human rights defenders.

RIGA, Latvia, Jan 14 (UNHCR) – It once hosted parties for the Baltic and Russian aristocracy. Now the Kanepes cultural centre, an elegant building in central Riga, echoes with the sound of excited children baking traditional ginger biscuits and making gingerbread houses.
The centre takes pride in using ideas and art to challenge people's preconceptions and make them think for themselves. This time, children and ginger biscuits are raising some tricky issues for many Latvians.

European Commission - Press release
Brussels, 30 November 2015
The European Agenda on Migration adopted by the Commission in May 2015 set out the need for a comprehensive approach to migration management. Since then, a number of measures have been introduced – including the adoption of two emergency schemes to relocate 160,000 people in clear need of international protection from the Member States most affected to other EU Member States, and the endorsement of the Commission Action Plan on Return.
What is the European Agenda on Migration and what is its state of play?
Tackling migration is one of the ten political priorities of this Commission. The European Agenda on Migration develops the political guidelines of President Juncker into tailored initiatives aimed at managing migration better in all its aspects. The Agenda, adopted on 13 May 2015 put forward concrete actions to respond to the immediate crisis and save lives at sea, and proposed structural responses for the medium and long term.

Eastern European ministers were to meet Monday to attempt to bridge stark differences over their refugee policies, in an escalating crisis saw thousands of migrants shunted from one border to another over the weekend.
Several thousand finally entered Austria aboard crowded buses and trains on Sunday, while at least 13 refugees drowned off the coast of Turkey, the latest to perish as they try to escape conflict in their home countries mostly in the Middle East and Africa.
"The European Union (EU) has already provided substantial financial aid to Nepal after the devastating earthquakes and will continue to give support. The EU is committed to assisting the Nepalese people in their endeavours to stabilise the country," said Zanda Kalniņa-Lukaševica, the Foreign Ministry's Parliamentary State Secretary for EU Affairs, representing the Council of the European Union at today's session of the European Parliament.

Mayor Bloomberg's Super PAC Scores Victories (and Losses) on Election Night
Last week, we reported on the millions spent by the Hizzoner's self-constructed super PAC on House campaigns across the country in the lead-up to Election Day. The money was sent to candidates that the mayor shared similar views with, whether it was on education, small business initiatives or same-sex marriage (a cause that he donated an additional $750,000 to defend).
- Syracuse Representative Dan Maffei (R) will reclaim his seat in Congress.
Gift from Bloomberg: $36,263. And he spent $366,946 against Maffei's opponent, Ann Marie Buerkle.

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Smore is a website that helps users create online flyers. Kids have to register to use Smore by entering their first and last name, e-mail address, and a password. They also can sign in using Facebook. Users can allow or disable comments for each flyer; viewers can only comment using Facebook, Yahoo, AOL, or Hotmail, which may cause privacy concerns if other users access their profile on those sites.
What kids can learn
Language & Reading
- presenting to others
- writing
- drawing
- photography
- imagination
- producing new content
- initiative
- set objectives
- conveying messages effectively
- presenting
Engagement, Approach, Support
Having creative control and expressing themselves should be fun for most kids. They can comment on flyers and get badges for achievements, but ultimately they'll probably only use Smore if they need to make a flyer.
The site doesn't offer much marketing and design instruction. However, kids get to practice writing and, if they share their flyer, can find out what promotional efforts work better than others using metrics.
Kids won't find in-depth articles on marketing or abundant tips on how to use the site, but the help section includes brief overviews of Web analytics. The analytic data saved can be really helpful for kids to see the reach of a flyer.
User reviews

What's it about?
Choose a theme -- event, business, for sale, news bulletin, class, or anything else you need to promote -- and fill in a template to create a newsletter or flyer. Prompts offer some simple tips, such as, \"Titles are a must for all flyers.\" You can add text, photos, and audio from aural platform SoundCloud; YouTube, Vimeo, and Viddler videos; or a form. Once the design is complete, you can distribute designs to Craiglist or an email list, make them private, promote them on social media, or print them. Analytics help track reader response. Basic Smore is free; paid monthly subscriptions range from $19 to $99.
Is it any good?
According to Smore, more than 30,000 users access the promotional flyer-creation site daily. Most seem to be logging on to make flyers and newsletters for the products and services they offer. Flyers can be printed out and distributed, emailed, and shared on certain sites. Smore makes document design, creation, and distribution simple; its tool guides you through the process, and you can add some nifty extras, like videos and audio. Graphic and font options are modern and charming, which works well for kid-created flyers. However, without a paid subscription, flyers will contain Smore's logo, which can be a drawback for some users. Parents also may have concerns about kids' ability to connect with other users on the site. To comment on other flyers, kids need to first log in to their Yahoo, Facebook, AOL, or Hotmail account, which means other users can easily learn more about their identity and potentially contact them. Parents can alter kids' profile settings to make their flyers private; this will remove the analytics option and prevent kids from seeing which promotional efforts resonate best with viewers -- but it should make their experience safer.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about PR and marketing and how companies promote products and services to potential buyers. Ask your child for some examples of commercials or ads. How did they influence your child's interest in a toy or other product?
Discuss some issues that can arise from logging into a website using your Facebook account. How could strangers contact you if they can see your profile?
Users can make their flyers public or private. Ask kids what privacy issues they could face if everyone could see their work. Should everything that kids create on sites like Smore be for-their-eyes-only?

C++ classes for linking optimization with complex simulations
C++ classes
The C++ programming language allows programmers to separate program-specific datatypes through the use of classes. Classes define types of data structures and the functions that operate on those data structures. Instances of these datatypes are known as objects and can contain member variables, constants, member functions, and overloaded operators defined by the programmer. Syntactically, classes are extensions of the C struct, which cannot contain functions or overloaded operators.

Program optimization
In computer science, program optimization or software optimization is the process of modifying a software system to make some aspect of it work more efficiently or use fewer resources. In general, a computer program may be optimized so that it executes more rapidly, or is capable of operating with less memory storage or other resources, or draw less power.
more from Wikipedia
C++ (pronounced "cee plus plus") is a statically typed, free-form, multi-paradigm, compiled, general-purpose, powerful programming language. It is regarded as an intermediate-level language, as it comprises a combination of both high-level and low-level language features. Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup starting in 1979 at Bell Labs, it adds object oriented features, such as classes, and other enhancements to the C programming language.
more from Wikipedia
Class (computer programming)
In object-oriented programming, a class is a construct that is used to create instances of itself ¿ referred to as class instances, class objects, instance objects or simply objects. A class defines constituent members which enable its instances to have state and behavior. Data field members (member variables or instance variables) enable a class instance to maintain state. Other kinds of members, especially methods, enable the behavior of a class instances.
more from Wikipedia
Programming style
Programming style is a set of rules or guidelines used when writing the source code for a computer program. It is often claimed that following a particular programming style will help programmers to read and understand source code conforming to the style, and help to avoid introducing errors. A classic work on the subject was The Elements of Programming Style, written in the 1970s, and illustrated with examples from the Fortran and PL/I languages prevalent at the time.
more from Wikipedia
Fortran (previously FORTRAN) is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing.
more from Wikipedia
ARPACK, the ARnoldi PACKage, is a numerical software library written in FORTRAN 77 for solving large scale eigenvalue problems. The package is designed to compute a few eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of large sparse or structured matrices, using the Implicitly Restarted Arnoldi Method (IRAM) or, in the case of symmetric matrices, the corresponding variant of the Lanczos algorithm.

Celtics-Knicks First Round Playoffs Preview
- Updated: April 20, 2013
This is just what Boston needs after capturing the Boston Bombers last night and finally ending at least some of the chaos that occurred earlier this week. Beginning at 3pm today, the Boston Celtics will be playing the New York Knicks in a first round match-up for the second time in three years. This time the Celtics are the under dog team, seated this year in the Eastern Conference as a 7th seed taking on a surprise Knicks team that earned the 2nd seed. This has all the makings of a classic, rival-filled, first round series for the ages.
New York Knicks
Saying the Knicks overachived is an understatement…They are the second oldest team in the league with the likes of Jason Kidd, Marcus Camby, Kenyon Martin, etc. and are 30th in assists per game and 26th in rebounds per game. While the offense may seem bad on paper, they are actually one of the top five three-point shooting teams in the league and seventh in points per game. Despite all these weird statistics on offense, the Knicks are in the top 10 in points allowed and have the third best forward in the game right now, Carmelo Anthony. And believe it or not, Melo is actually playing defense and is competing the hardest I've seen him compete since his early days in Denver. The Knicks have built this identity the past couple of weeks of giving the ball to Melo and 6th man of the year candidate, JR Smith, and letting them create offense with various pick and rolls and iso's. Teams are having a hard time adjusting to this offense, but if any team can figure it out, it will be the Celtics. In short, the Knicks are a nitty gritty team full of veterans that will be there defensively, but offensively, it all depends on Melo and JR Smith.
Boston Celtics
Oye, where should I start with my Celtics??? Should I start with the fact that the injury bug has hit us yet again with injuries to Sullinger, Bradley, and Rondo? Or should I start with the emergence of the young star Jeff Green and his inconsistent play over the season? How about I start with Coach Doc, who has done a wonderful job of getting this team toegther despite the adversity they have faced all season. Every player on this team has stepped up, and now that KG and Paul Pierce have rested, I believe our Celtics are poised to make another run to the Eastern Conference Finals again this year.
What the Knicks have to do to win –
The Knicks have to keep the Boston bench out of the game. We know Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett are gonna show up, but Jeff Green, Jason Terry, and others are game changers. They are what keeps the Celtics either below 100 points or above 100 points. If the Knicks can stop the Boston bench and execute in the fourth quarter then they can definitely win this series.
What the Celtics have to do to win –
For the Celtics, it's all about keeping Melo in check. Melo is given unfair treatment by the media for his isolation, me-first metnality that he plays with. But that is who he is, the Knicks are better off when he scores 30+ points in a game. This is why I believe the Celtics will take him totally out of the game, just like the other two times the Celtics played the Knicks in the playoffs. But even if they take Melo out of the game, the second priority is limiting three point attempts and then keeping the much improved JR Smith in check.
BOSTON CELTICS in 6 – In the end, I pick experience mixed with the new additions of Jordan Crawford and Jeff Green's emergence late in the year to be too much for the old Knicks. Melo can't win it by himself, and I expect JR Smith to be great at times, and just damn awful at times. The heart of the champion takes this series.

LET'S MAKE A LONG STORY LONGER Lyrics
Artist: Michael Bolton
Album: All That Matters
Everybody's lookin' for a happy ending
Before the real story even begins
It's so easy to pretend you're not pretending
Till the naked truth comes walkin' on in
But we ain't runnin' when the truth gets hot
That's how ya find out just how much you've really got
Let's make a long story longer
Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger
Our star is gonna shine, shine even brighter
Believe what we feel, keep it real
Make a long story longer
The seed of love is so deeply planted
Inside the heart is where it lives and grows
We'll keep it safe 'cause we don't take it for granted
Let the hard rains fall, let the cold wind blow
Every storm is just a lesson to learn
Just bring us closer with every page we turn baby
Ya gotta stand the test of time
If ya wanna keep the treasure you find
Some can only dream about forever
But look at us baby, we're creatin' it together
Let's make a long story longer
Let's make this strong love a little bit stronger
Baby, live what we feel, keep it real
Make a long story longer
Let's make a long story longer

My husband and I used Three Falls Cove as our home base as we visited the courthouses of the upper Panhandle region. The site is a peaceful oasis. The breakfasts were delicious and Jasmine, our hostess, is as sweet as her name. Wonderful stay!

The room was very comfortable in the lodge. Walking the property was extremely relaxing. We were led around by Maggie the dog. The cookies were to die for. I was pig and ate too many. Our hostess was super friendly...like a favorite family member. This is not near the hustle of bustle of a big city. Perfect for relaxing. Breakfasts were the perfect size and tasted great!!

This was the BEST B&B overall that we have visited. The location is a little bit from civilization, but that meant it was AMAZINGLY quiet and peaceful. The property was very scenic and fun to walk. The sleeping area and Lodge were VERY clean and comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious and were ample sized. Rebecca was an wonderful Hostess. We only stayed 2 nights but felt that we left behind a family member. Maggie (the dog) led us on our walks and was a great companion. We wished we could have stayed longer. I would recommend this B&B without any reservations. We can't wait until we can visit them again!!!

We have been to Three Falls Cove several times. It never ceases to amaze us. The beautiful scenery, relaxing atmosphere and delicious food. Not to mention the hospitality. Thank you for all you do.

China growth feeds auto demand
SHANGHAI (May 17, 3:35 p.m. ET) — China produced more than 18 million cars in 2011, and while demand may have cooled at the start of 2012, forecasters still expect the country's auto market will hit 30 million cars by the end of this decade. That supercharged growth will continue feeding the demand for new car production in China.

Jamie's Food Revolution
Jamie's Food Revolution
Rediscover How to Cook Simple, Delicious, Affordable Meals
Hyperion Books, Hardcover, 9781401323592, 360pp.
Publication Date: October 13, 2009
Cooking good food from scratch is a skill that can save you money, keep you healthy, and make you and your family and friends happy. What I've tried to do in this book is pick a whole load of meals that we all love to eat and break them down to make them as simple as possible. There are plenty of clear instructions and step-by-step pictures, so whether you're an accomplished cook or a complete beginner, you'll be able to enjoy cooking and achieve great results in the kitchen. This book is inspired by all the people I've met who thought they could never and would never learn how to cook. I believe that good home cooking is one of the most essential, fundamental skills that every single person on this planet should have in order to look after themselves, their families, and their friends. This food revolution is all about people learning how to make a recipe, then teaching that recipe to their friends and family . . . if enough people do this, pretty soon everyone will be cooking. So cook something today, then PASS IT ON!

AbstractTo mitigate the parasitic characteristics of radio channel, an intelligent RF control plane is desired. Spectrum Management for shipboard wireless modems, consideration for on shore equipment support, emphasis on exiting Wireless LAN protocols (802.11) with consideration for ultra wideband and even IR WLANs, are all required for maximizing radio functionality without having to maximize radio expertise. These requirements dramatically reduce the cost and complexity associated with building a business critical wireless network. A savvy spectrum management system is proposed for frequency coordination of shipboard wireless modems. This system utilizes sophisticated self-organizing interference, emission measurement, and prediction subsystems to determine the best suitable frequency band of operation. The proposed system also employs highly frequency agile front-ends for all its nodes to allow operations in the specified bands. The system will optimize throughput, power, and interference for a wireless networks, taking into account regulatory mandates.

Abstract In Trichodesmium contortum, nitrogenase was detected in only a limited number (about 10%) of microscopically distinguishable, consecutively arranged cells in central regions of the trichomes. Cells with nitrogenase also contained the photosystem II associated pigment phycoerythrin. These cells were not distinguishable from other cells on a structural basis, but were clearly visible at low magnification microscopy as all in the zone were more compact and shorter than those on either side. The compartmentalisation of nitrogenase into a chain of cells and in a possibly photosynthetic environment represents a previously undescribed phenomenon. The nitrogenase containing cells apparently perform the O2 protective function of heterocysts yet are different in several aspects.

We read the editorial by David Thompson and Philip Darbyshire (2013) with interest. The editorial covers a broad array of issues that influence the current state of the nursing academy but not entirely all. We write from the Australian perspective and also from the perspective of nursing academic administrators within a Group of Eight (Go8) university.
When nursing moved to the tertiary sector in the mid-1980s, the focus was on educating nurses. Hence, the wholesale move of 'sister tutors' and the transposition of traditional training programmes into the university sector. Any nurse with a bachelor degree was highly sought after. A master's degree was rare, and a PhD was almost non-existent. It is clearly understandable that those who had these qualifications would be appointed to senior positions with or without the necessary vision, scholarship, research or managerial skills.
In addition, there was little expectation for nursing scholarship at that time. We were teachers first and foremost. With the Dawkins (1988) white paper and the merger of colleges of advanced education into universities, the need for scholarship and research became more important and measured. More recently, the research excellence exercises have further driven that need. Unfortunately, in the beginning, the acquisition of a PhD seemed to be the key to any professorial position, joint or otherwise. This set the bar and a low one it was. Nevertheless, many professors at that time produced exemplary work and continue to do so. Some were ill-fitted for the professorial role but processes were not in place to address this and performance management of under-performing staff to this day is a protracted and difficult process.
Thompson and Darbyshire (2013) note the decline in scholarship over the past decade and we tend to agree with this position. We have noted the slim CVs of some very senior academic staff which make a mockery of those who have strived for academic excellence. The requirement by many universities is for nursing to be an income generator rather than a potent research and scholarly discipline. Some even curtail the appointment of Professors and Associate Professors with the intent to focus activity on teaching to meet teaching loads to build income. We have certainly heard statements by some Vice Chancellors confirming this. Nurse academics who want to research have to secure their own funding in lieu of university support which is directed towards traditional hierarchies. Hence, we have observed the dissolution of nursing schools into disciplines and departments subsumed in larger faculties to meet desirable multidisciplinary profiles.
It is no wonder that a review of the websites of universities shows a lack of scholarship. The ability to attract and retain the best scholars is becoming more difficult because many universities require high teaching loads in addition to scholarship and research. Research grants are increasingly difficult to attain in a highly competitive market. Those in strong positions are loath to uproot and take up new positions especially in universities that have 'dumbed down' nursing. They do not want to be classified as, and with, under-achievers. The rest frequently do not meet the standards set for Professors in prestigious universities such as the Go8 or in others aspiring to those standards. The best researchers want to continue to research but, in the absence of attracting funding, seek leadership positions on offer, such as Heads of School and Deans. Although, as Thompson and Darbyshire (2013) note, there are many examples of excellent leadership and scholarship among the Deanery.
While we have witnessed many of the examples of the killer elite described in this editorial, it is not just nursing that has killer elite. We also are aware of professors in other disciplines who work the system by riding on the backs of smart, junior staff. This has been the nature of academia and most businesses with ingrained hierarchies. Some universities are striving for true adherence to the Vancouver guidelines for authorship to address this exploitation.
This critical piece clearly raises the problem of the so-called killer elite. It does not, however, offer a solution. We do hope the discussion spawned will enable feasible, workable and acceptable solutions to be generated.
The old guard's work is done and is now moving on to allow the new wave of nurse academics to propel nursing into the future. We are confident that their legacy will not be one of 'more of the same'.
