NSW Minister for Roads and Ports strengthens industry ties
by Jeni Bone on 1 Aug 2011
Minister for Roads and Ports, Duncan Gay. NSW Government
Speaking at the official opening day breakfast, Duncan Gay, NSW Minister for Roads and Ports announced changes to NSW Maritime and a strengthen of its focus on safety.
'As part of the announcement of Transport for NSW, we are refocusing the work of NSW Maritime back to its core business of boating safety, service delivery, and infrastructure,' he said. 'I have stressed throughout these changes that we want to help NSW Maritime do a good job focussed on its key functions, so you will still see Maritime 'with you on the water'.
The Minister said the newly elected NSW Coalition government planned to create a new agency for service delivery called NSW Roads and Maritime Services. Both the RTA and the Maritime Authority will be wound up to create this new agency.
'In the new agency we will have a division still called NSW Maritime,' he continued. 'NSW Maritime will still have responsibility for delivering boating safety program: supporting boating infrastructure and managing maritime property. Their focus will be solely on service delivery. Other functions that can be distracting will be done elsewhere.'
This NSW Liberals and Nationals Government is also committed to a 'one stop shop for car and boat licenses'.
'We want everyone to be able go to one place,' said the Minister.
'I want to make it clear our goal is to preserve the hard working effective parts of NSW Maritime.These parts include the funding arrangements where registration and license fees go into a waterways fund to provide services to the industry. Funds do not go to Treasury.'
The Minister also explained that the NSW government would retain the brand: NSW Maritime. 'We will preserve the strong safety brand of the name NSW Maritime and want to enhance the working relationship with industry. But we still need to be able to take advantage of the efficiencies larger agencies can bring so we can deliver transport reforms for all of NSW.'
The Minister announced that 'Transport for NSW' will be the driving force for transport reforms. 'It will host the policy, strategy, and regulatory components and guide our investment decisions. Transport for NSW will be accountable for delivering reforms to the people of NSW.
'Within Transport for NSW we will create an Office of Boating Safety, bringing together expertise in safety and policy to work with and learn from other experts as well as with peak industry groups.'
After just four months in the role, the Minister said his focus would be 'developing a policy agenda for Maritime'. 'Over the next few months it's important we identify your priorities so we can commit to reforms during this term of Government. Under our fisheries policy this Government is stopping the endless march of marine park closures along the coast.
'What we need to know is whether there are equally burning issues that need resolving for boating safety and infrastructure. I know from talking with the boating industry that access to our waterways is critical so we need a continuing conversation about that issue.
'I also understand that planning can be a barrier to maritime development and that the regional environmental plans aren't always working for marina and slipway owners, and people with jetties. So we need to know what we can do to make it better for industry.
'I appreciate that people who buy a boat need somewhere to store it and launch it and once you're on the water somewhere to get ashore. I also understand we mustn't over regulate or we take the fun out of boating.'

Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Gazzang, the Linux data security company, today announced the company recently completed its strongest quarter to-date. Year-end sales for Gazzang grew more than 4x from 2011 to 2012. Also during 2012, Gazzang strengthened its big data security product portfolio, expanded its go-to-market channels, and more than doubled the average deal size compared to 2011. These milestones helped the company secure $4 million in funding in December from Austin Ventures and Silver Creek Ventures.
"Our performance during the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2012 is further proof that we're well positioned at the confluence of the maturing big data market and the mounting data security regulations that organizations must enforce," said Larry Warnock, president and CEO of Gazzang. "As savvy enterprises begin to adopt an 'encrypt everything' approach to their sensitive and regulatory data, we believe that will drive even greater demand for robust key and secure object management and access controls. These market conditions will set the stage for an exciting and successful 2013."
2012 highlights include:
- Strong Sales – Compliance requirements such as HIPAA-HITECH, PCI-DSS and the EU Data Protection Directive, as well as the need to secure and govern sensitive data, continue to drive demand. The company saw significant growth in new business and existing customer accounts, with strong traction in health care, retail, financial services and public sector organizations.
Product Innovation – Gazzang significantly expanded its product
portfolio by adding the following products:
- Gazzang zTrustee™, a universal key manager that stores and manages cryptographic keys, certificates, configuration files, tokens and any other opaque object.
- Gazzang zOps™, a SaaS solution for monitoring the performance of an organization's Gazzang applications and the health of its Linux environment.
- Gazzang zEscrow™, a key backup and recovery service for Ubuntu.
- Expanded Partnerships – Gazzang expanded its go-to-market channels by joining the Amazon Partner Network and forging customer engagement partnerships with big data leaders including 10gen, Cloudera, DataStax and IBM Infosphere BigInsights.
- Industry Involvement and Accolades – Gazzang was named one of 10 finalists selected for the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium Innovation Showcase and was featured in top-tier industry and analyst publications including 451 Research, CIO, CRN, Network World and Silicon Angle. The company is also an active participant in the Cloud Security Alliance Big Data Working Group and is working with other security organizations to develop best practices around big data-scale cryptography, cloud infrastructure, policy and governance.

Product Description
Time has been kind to Flight of the Intruder, a rousing aviation-action adventure that looks better now than it did to critics who panned it in 1991. Perhaps they were expecting a Tom Clancy-ish blockbuster (producer Mace Neufeld oversaw the Jack Ryan franchise), but director John (Conan the Barbarian) Milius had something potentially more substantial in mind. The first 75 minutes are pure Milius: Macho bluster, male bonding among ill-fated pilots and Naval bombardiers, and a Big Wednesday-like passion for dangerous fun. But Milius's favorite topics have sharper teeth here: He's made a scathing anti-Vietnam film that still honors the bravery of soldiers who do their job even when the job itself seems pointless. That's why ace Brad Johnson (why didn't he become a huge star?) and maverick bombardier Willem Dafoe plot a renegade mission, bombing a Hanoi arms depot with their low-altitude A-6 Intruder in the movie's pyrotechnical climax. Fringe benefits abound, including early roles for Tom Sizemore, Ving Rhames, and David Schwimmer in his big-screen debut, three years before Friends and looking like the dweeby grandchild of his Band of Brothers martinet. --Jeff Shannon --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

And also, that's true that the special effects are somewhat dated now...
But boy, being a professional of aviation, living, breathing, dreaming of it every day of my life, I can't applaude enough to the fact of being able to watch a movie that DOES feature combat aircraft! Just count the number of good action movies that actually show these machines, and I bet you'll be able to count them on the fingers of, say, 2 hands. That's just to stay on the optimistic side of things.
Flight of the Intruder is a real cool movie in terms of aircraft footage. You are "behind the wheel", at times you are literally in control of the aircraft. Your heart pumps faster when this ugly looking -and sounding- SAM detection signal flashes to and screams at the crew. And watch these unforgettable scenes with the A-1 Skyraiders, the famous "Sandys" at the end of the film! The shots, the sounds... Everything contributes to raising the hair of your neck with passion!
The movie itself is pretty well documented too, if only a bit too simplified. Looks like the film was technically supported by both the Navy and the Air Force. The pilots' jargon is accurate, and so is the overall A-6 bombing philosophy.
And after viewing it, you'll sit back and start reflecting on it, and I'm pretty sure that you'll end telling yourself: "These fly-boys in Vietnam... They sure had real guts". Hats and heads down, ladies and gentlemen, and respect for courage!
I'm sure that many of the Navy's aviators in Vietnam grew weary of hitting "suspected" truck parks, oil refineries and missle sites, but I have yet to hear tales from my dad or his buddies about anyone who decided to fight their own war and fly through downtown Hanoi in order to destroy a SAM (surface-to-air missle) storage area all on their own.
Guys got shot down alot during the war, yes, but they were mostly Air Force guys (that's meant to be a dig!), and rarely a Navy A-6. In this movie, we see several from one squadron on the same cruise go down. Not too realistic. The quickly referred to "Operation Linebacker" was a real mission (proud to say that my dad was in the first plane over N Vietnam on that mission) and followed up by Linebacker II later on. It was not, however, inspired because of what the two lead characters in this movie did.
The flying is pretty realistic though and it is nice to see the not-as-sexy-as-a-fighter-jet Grumman A-6 Intruder in a movie; I give it three stars for that. Still...I would rather listen to real bomber pilots and b/n's relate their adventures in 'Nam and aboard ship.
If you want a real Vietnam movie, stick with "Apocalypse Now", "Full Metal Jacket" and "Platoon".
That is the opening statement to an outstanding action movie. The thought of flying unarmed over hostile territory circa 1972 presents a very exciting war tale indeed.
Danny Glover, Willem Dafoe and Brad Johnson are a great ensemble cast.
The "Flight of the Intruder" based on Stephen Coonts (former Naval Aviator) novel of the same name. Coonts has written an entire fictionalized series based on Jake Grafton (played by Brad Johnson) exciting Naval career. The "Flight of the Intruder" was the first in that series.
Summary: Young Naval Aviator Lt. Jake Grafton pilots the infamous A (Attack) - 6 Intruder over 1972 Vietnam. You get to experience lots of great aerial photography, plenty of action and the unbelievable daring of these A-6 Naval pilots. This includes low level (200 feet) bombing missions (dodging all kinds of enemy fire). "Iron Hand" the art of an Armed A-6 versus' SAM (Surface to Air Missles). They shoot first up to 4 missles before you can attack them!!! Great stuff!!!!
Paramount's WideScreen DVD Collection presents the viewer with some OUTSTANDING MOVIES at an economical price. The only short fall one Extra is the trailer and the Enhanced 16:9 WideScreen HDTV is some what grainy on my 55" Home Theatre Screen. The sound is outstanding!
Overall this is a great war movie for the collector!! This DVD is worth the price of admission. Enjoy
The reason I gave this DVD only 3 Stars is due to the apparent lack of interest by either the DVD authoring company or the Production Company.
Firstly, the Primary Menu Screen has a glaring error in continuity. They have shoddily created a montage from the Theatre poster and what appears to be a picture from another film entirely(Black Angel I think). It features a Grumman F-14 Tomcat emerging from a large explosion. The time setting for this film, during the Vietnam War, is well before this aircraft was put into service.
Secondly, the subtitles on this DVD are awful. Many times the text is way off from what was said by the actors. Perhaps the persons doing the sub work were hard of hearing or just made assumptions as to what was said due to lack of knowledge of military nomenclature.
Thirdly, I really would like it if they had provided at least a few extras. Trailers, Behind the scenes, Still-shots, etc.
On the whole it's a good film that has not been given it's due by the people who released it onto DVD.

I feel safe walking alone on campus most of the time. There are security personnel and the blue light/police phones all over campus.
Overall Experience:
I have had some negative experiences with professors and clinic supervisors. Overall, my courses are challenging and interesting. In such a small major, the variety of courses and flexibility in scheduling is limited, which is to be expected.
Temple University offers no scholarships to graduate students.
I have not experienced any administration issues.
Temple students show a great amount of school pride.
Local Area:
Great place for young people, much cheaper living expenses than most cities, has a lot to do for entertainment, but is quite smaller than most of the main American cities.
Off-Campus Dining:
Not many real restaurants, mostly fast food and quick pick-up places, not many student deals either and not many places which deliver stay open late into the evening (past 1 am)
Party Scene:
Frat parties are not really my thing, there are a lot of them, but I really don't want to wait an hour for low quality beer. House parties and house shows are much better, usually shorter waits for drinks and the crowd isn't as wild (this depends on the house though).
Off-Campus Housing:
For the most part off campus housing is the way to go, it's cheaper than dorming, way cheaper, but there can be security issues and some landlords can be a nightmare, but for the most part it is worth it.
Health & Safety:
They just expanded the Temple Police's range so now it is quite safer off campus, even so there is a lot of criminal activity that happens only a block or two away from these areas which can spill over onto campus, I personally was a victim of a robbery one day before the range was expanded. We also have a large number of homeless people that are usually quite benign and humble but some have become quite aggressive with me and will follow me when I say that I do not have money to give them.
Campus Housing:
Dorms are average sized for the most part, fairly good access to suite style dorms which means no communal bathrooms. The overnight policy changed recently, which people aren't happy about. You can only have one person signed in past midnight, which I think is silly, but other than that they are not bad.
I am currently looking for an internship, the school does provide a career service to their students.
All schools are pricey, but my tuition jumped about 10% this year due to becoming an upperclassman and the tuition hike. This was the first time I fell short on funding and I was told there was nothing more I could do.
Off-Campus Dining:
There are many restaurants on and off campus, but many of them serve the same or similar foods.
Party Scene:
Frat houses can get a bit crazy and tend to get shutdown quite often, but they are a good time.
Campus Housing:
Very nice new dorms! Better to live on campus to avoid the danger of North Philadelphia streets, plus great views!
Off-Campus Housing:
There are many incidents that occur off campus. North Philadelphia is not safe, it is best to live on campus, at least for one year to learn the layout.
Policies are usually emphasized when they coincide with recent hot button topics in the news. Strictness in other aspects are about average.
I like the program I am in at my school. However, it's expensive.
Health & Safety:
There are a lot of police officers to ensure the students' safety. There are also emergency call buttons to the police in case of an emergency.
A lot of students will attend the games even if it's at a different location besides Philadelphia.
Greek Life:
Greek students actually try to collect donations to raise funds and awareness for different issues.
Local Area:
At South Street, there are a lot of shops for people to go to.
Party Scene:
There are a lot of parties during the weekend. There are always pre-game parties before the Temple Owl's play.
Overall Experience:
The professors show that they know what they are teaching for the majority of the time. The class sizes are understandable because of the course they teach.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Overall, Temple has its ups and downs, but students seem to love it all the same. On the downside, there can be some head-butts with tyrannical teachers, unfriendly cafeteria workers, and the always-frustrating financial aid office. Housing can cause an enormous hassle, and those commuting have to battle with parking or public transportation. Some people don't feel as though they are prepared for the real world once they leave campus, but others say it's been an incredible learning experience. Those students that love their experience at Temple all have their own reasons. Some love the atmosphere and found it to be a lot of fun. Others found it to be a great place to grow up and discover themselves. Lots of students take away more from living in a big city than they do from the University. But one thing it seems most students agree on is that the people at Temple University are what really make it a worthwhile experience.
In general, students coming to Temple have big expectations, from both the school and the city. Those that graduate either feel that Temple met their expectations, or if it didn't, then it was their own fault for not pursuing more opportunities while they were there. Most students feel that Temple provides them with the opportunities that make their college experiences excellent—as long as they are willing to make use of them.

CUPE representatives from Nova Scotia will speak at an upcoming public town hall session, as part of the federal government's Employment Insurance Service Quality Review. The session will take place:
Tuesday, July 19
Time: 1:30 to 3 p.m.
Place: Ministers' regional office, 1801 Hollis Street, 12th Floor, Suite 1210, Halifax, NS
Atlantic Canadians encounter too many challenges when trying to access Employment Insurance. This includes the inadequate number of Service Canada workers and the amount of workers that are in temporary positions, which negatively impacts service delivery.
CUPE Nova Scotia President Nan McFadgen says, "More staff are needed in Service Canada centres who can meet face-to-face and are knowledgeable about the issues facing workers in specific occupations, sectors and regions."
CUPE also encourages members to participate in the review by completing the online survey available on the Service Canada website.
The Liberal government's 2016 budget includes $92 million to make improvements to the administration of the program. A summary report of the feedback received during the consultations will be released this later this year.
For more information, please contact:
Nan McFadgen
President, CUPE NS
(902) 759-3231 (m)
Colleen Reynolds
CUPE Communications Representative
(613) 203-2253 (m)

ISTANBUL A Turkish court ordered the release of former army chief Ilker Basbug from a life sentence on Friday, Turkish media said, adding to uncertainty over the fate of court cases trying coup plots against Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan.
The decision followed a constitutional court ruling on Thursday that Basbug's incarceration for his alleged role in the 'Ergenekon' conspiracy violated his rights as the court trying him had failed to publish a detailed verdict on the case.

Alleviating the human suffering left in Typhoon Haiyan's wake is now rightly front of mind for much of the world. But a geopolitical effect is becoming clear too. The stark contrast between key countries' humanitarian responses could have a lasting impact on the balance of influence in Asia.
Of course, the core issue should not be politics but the survival and rebuilding of storm-wracked communities. It may seem heartless to speculate about the geopolitics of a disaster that has taken thousands of lives. But there is always an edge of strategic diplomacy to nations' efforts to deliver humanitarian assistance.
That was the case in 2004, when a core group of the United States, Japan, India and Australia quickly mobilized to help victims of the cataclysmic Indian Ocean tsunami. That experience improved relations with Indonesia and enhanced the trust and inter-operability among their forces.
A subsequent "quadrilateral" dialogue in 2007—a meeting of officials to talk lessons learned from disaster relief—led to claims that the four seagoing democracies were using humanitarianism as a cloak to gang up on China.
These days China itself is supposedly capable of using its forces to do good while serving its own interests, such as through its counterpiracy taskforce in the Gulf of Aden. Another of these "new historic missions" used to justify China's ever-expanding military budget and naval power-projection capabilities is humanitarian relief.
So it's surprising that Beijing has not stepped up to help the Philippines. On the contrary, its response has been miserly and slow-moving. With an initial donation of only $100,000, followed days later by a begrudging $1.6 million worth of tents and blankets, China has allowed its South China Sea dispute with the Philippines to cloud its compassion and distort its diplomacy.

I have been trying to get this to work for a few hours now. I've searched online and found various methods, but none have worked for me.
Basically, I have a directory that I don't want outside access to (it will have audio download files in it). It is part of a username and password protected directory and I only want logged in users to have access.
The directory I want protection on is:
The referring page I want to allow access from is:
If someone tries to access any of the files in the kit/media_files directory, I want them redirected to kit/index.php.
Here is my latest try, which didn't work. This .htaccess file is in the kit/media_files directory. I also wondered if I should place this code into the main .htaccess file, or should it be in a specific file just for this directory? I tried both and neither work.
If there is a better way to restrict access to this folder to the outside public I'm open to try anything. I just want to make sure only registered users can get into these files.Code:RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://mysite\.com\.kit/index.php [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www\.mysite\.com\.kit/index.php [NC] RewriteRule ^.*$ http://mysite.com.kit/index.php [R=301,L]
