Welcome to educating at home in New Zealand! We have a wide range of education beliefs and styles, from those who are doing school at home, through to those who are unschooling. NZ citizens and residents are required to send their children to school between the ages of 6 and 16 unless they have obtained a Certificate of Exemption (from attendance at school) in order to homeschool. To apply for the certificate, a form is filled out, and if the Ministry of Education is satisfied, the certificate is issued. You may be visited at any time by an Education Review Officer to establish whether you are "teaching as regularly and as well as a state school". Reviews are by random selection and around 10% of the parents of exempted children are reviewed each year. Home education in New Zealand is now recognised as a valid education alternative and an increasing number of people are choosing this option. If you would like to contact someone about homeschooling in New Zealand, Phil and Lynette Astley's website at Kiwi home Educators is a good place to start.

Police seek teen in high-speed chaseMarch 18,2013UNDERHILL Police are on the lookout for a 19-year-old Vermont man they say led them on a high-speed chase before abandoning his car and running into some woods.
State police said Sunday theyre seeking the publics help in locating Patrick Milliken, of Jericho.
Officials said the chase began around 5 p.m. Saturday when Detective Sgt. Todd Baxter attempted to stop Milliken for speeding in the village of Smugglers Notch.
After initially stopping, Milliken allegedly drove his car at a high speed at Baxters police cruiser before speeding off on Route 108, where he was observed passing cars and driving recklessly.
Officials say Milliken was later spotted in Underhill, where he eventually stopped before running off. Police say a female passenger told them she wanted Milliken to stop, but he wouldnt.MORE IN This Just In

'Rally to Promote Comedy Central & Democrats Except Not Necessarily in That Order' Open Thread; Updated
**Written by Doug Powers
Comedy Central's coverage is underway.
Oprah and Arianna paid for hundreds of buses to ship people in, because if there's one thing that makes a rally really hit home, it's extra astroturf.
The AP has perhaps the most hilarious repetition of the organizers' talking points:
WASHINGTON – People assembled by the tens of thousands Saturday on the National Mall for a "sanity" rally blending laughs, activism and a call to civility from two improbable maestros of moderation, comedians Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.
Hook, line and sinker.
So far the crowd looks really diverse, and I'm sure the MSM will be pointing that out. There are also plenty of disenfranchised dems on HuffPo buses who are stuck in traffic and missing the rally — with any luck they'll also miss the election. Some examples:
You get what you pay for. Consider your bus experience to be a preview of Obamacare.
This event is being billed as a nonpartisan gathering attended by hands-on Americans, and that's already apparent:
I just saw President "Dude" in Philadelphia, so it's unlikely The Big O-bowski will make it, but Obama did endorse the purely apolitical gathering.
The rally is of course to promote freedom, so naturally that means camera usage is being tightly regulated at the National Mall. Because, like all rallies that are organized in part as a show of opposition to an America controlled by large corporations, Viacom owns the copyrights.
The "Rally to Restore Irony" would have been a better title, though Treacher prefers the "Rally to Reassure Ourselves That We're Not the Ones Who F***ed Everything Up."
Okay, I have a garage to clean and an MSU/Iowa game to watch soon, so feel free to post your thoughts on the rally here. Or better yet, share a recipe — my wife will be at a movie and I have no idea what to make the kids for dinner.
Update: You don't usually see "sanity" and "NAMBLA" in the same mention:
Update II: Wanting to avoid a garbage-strewn Mall like we saw after Ed Schultz-stock, Stewart reminded the crowd not to litter.
Update III: Politico features some of the "best signs from the rally," like this one that's a play on the Westboro Baptist Church kooks signs, except this one says "God Hates Figs":
But if you mouse over the photo, a caption writer at Politico was still in WBC mode:
Politico's "Best Rally Signs" video left out this kind of thing though:

Mitsubishi Loan at Libor as $32 Billion Maturing: Japan Credit
Japan's Mitsubishi Corp. agreed to pay a record-low interest rate for a loan last week, a sign there's no lack of demand for debt from an industry that has about $32 billion coming due within two years.
The nation's biggest trading company will pay one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, more than the London interbank offered rate for yen loans for five years, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The price on Itochu Corp.'s bond due in May 2014 shrank to seven basis points versus similar-maturity swap rates yesterday from 50 when Japan's fourth-largest trading firm sold the notes in May 2009.
The narrowing premiums reward the trading companies, whose investments range from resources to industry and retail, as they raise profit forecasts at a time when Prime Minister Naoto Kan sees Japan's economic growth slowing to 1.5 percent next fiscal year from 3.1 percent. While expanding into Australian coal and Chinese retail, the traders are benefiting from the lowest borrowing costs in the developed world.
"It's a great time for the commodity companies to issue bonds," said Yasuhiro Matsumoto, head of credit research at Shinsei Securities Co. in Tokyo. "The risk premium for commodity companies is at historic lows."
Sojitz Corp., the smallest of Japan's six main trading firms, sold 10 billion yen of five-year bonds at 0.91 percent in October, the firm's lowest coupon, versus 1.03 percent in May and 2 percent in July 2008. Mitsui & Co. sold 20-year bonds in October at 2.015 percent, the lowest Japan's second-largest trader has paid to borrow at that maturity since at least 1997.
Extra Yield
The premium on Marubeni Corp.'s five-year bonds due in June 2014 versus similar-maturity government notes shrank to 23 basis points in December, from 96 points in July 2009, a month after the firm sold the debt. The extra yield investors demand to hold A-rated industrial company debt dropped to 15 basis points yesterday from 25 at the start of 2010, after touching a 3 1/2-year low of 9 in November.
The Bank of Japan's October expansion of a 35 trillion yen asset-purchase plan to include corporate bonds helped reduce financing costs in a nation where the central bank's rate was already near zero. Japan's five-year rate to swap floating debt payments for fixed interest, a gauge of borrowing costs throughout the economy, fell to 0.59 percent yesterday from 0.72 percent a year ago, the least among 32 developed markets tracked by Bloomberg.
Most Indebted
Lower financing costs help the top trading firm, the nation's most-indebted group after banks, as they consider new borrowings. Trading companies average 2.2 trillion yen in net debt, more than their average market value of 1.8 trillion yen, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. In comparison, the 13 listed Japanese carmakers tracked by Bloomberg average 1.1 trillion yen of debt, half of their average market value.
Sumitomo Corp., the third-largest trader, has 41 percent of its $10.8 billion in bond and term loan repayments due within three years. In the same period, Marubeni has $2 billion of a total $5 billion due. Sojitz faces $1.6 billion in bond and loan payments this year, 28 percent more than its total obligations for the following three years.
The general trading companies, as the industry group is known, are boosting profit expectations as business from textiles in China, convenience stores in Japan, and chemicals manufacturing in Venezuela grows with the global economic recovery.
Strong Car Sales
Tokyo-based Sojitz raised its 2010 net income forecast 9.1 percent to 12 billion yen on Oct. 29, citing investment gains in affiliated companies. Mitsubishi raised its forecast for the year ending March 2011 by 8.1 percent to 400 billion yen on stronger-than-expected car sales in Asia and coking coal in Australia, Chief Executive Officer Ken Kobayashi said Nov. 4 in a conference call.
Cosmo Securities rated Mitsubishi, whose investments include liquefied natural gas assets in Brunei, Chile copper mines and solar energy in Portugal, an "outperform" last month. Marubeni was raised in August to "strong outperform" at Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities Co.
"The sector has improved both in terms of business and finance," said Tetsuo Gunji, chief fund manager at T&D Asset Management Co. "What's important is whether they have enough capital. And the funding environment is getting better."
'Getting Better'
Company bonds outperformed government debt in 2010 for a second year after the BOJ said it would buy 500 billion yen of corporate debt rated BBB or higher. The yield premium domestic company notes offer over government debt narrowed to 28 basis points yesterday, the lowest in three years, from 30 before the BOJ announcement, according to Nomura Securities Co.'s Bond Performance Indexes.
Japanese corporate bonds returned of 2.48 percent in 2010, compared with 2.38 percent for government notes, according to indexes compiled by Bank of America Merrill Lynch. U.S. company debt climbed 9.52 percent, while Treasuries advanced 5.88 percent, the indexes show.
Japanese government bonds declined this week, extending last quarter's biggest drop since June 2008. The yield on the 1.2 percent 10-year bond due December 2020 rose to 1.155 percent yesterday from 1.11 percent Dec. 31.
The BOJ cut the key overnight lending rate to a range between zero and 0.1 percent Oct. 5 on concern the currency's advance toward a 15-year high would bring the economy's yearlong recovery to an end. The currency has since gained 0.1 percent to 83.27 per U.S. dollar, after touching 80.22 on Nov. 1, the strongest since April, 1995.
World's Lowest
Japanese borrowing costs have dropped to the lowest in the world due to deflation. The difference between yields on five-year Japanese government notes and inflation-linked debt, a gauge of investor expectations for price changes, was minus 0.57 percent. The comparable rate is 1.8 percent in the U.S. Deflation, an extended decline in prices, boosts demand for the fixed payments that bonds offer.
Mitsubishi is enjoying the current market conditions, said an official from the company's treasury department, declining to be named in line with corporate policy. Still, with its balance sheet cash-heavy, further bond sales will be hard to justify, the official said.
Marubeni and Sojitz said they are analyzing the potential to sell more bonds, including in foreign currencies such as in the dollar, to diversify fundraising sources and match foreign investment plans, they said in e-mailed answers to questions. They declined to provide further details.
Mitsui, Itochu and Sumitomo declined to comment on potential bond sales.

Just read the article from the pressdemocrat on tom mortensen, an ex harbaugh QB. I thought it was a great article, and it confirmed the idea that for me the most important position on the field is the coach. The greatest Qb's have always had the greatest coaches. Football is such a strategic game, that it seems impossible for a team to ride just on the talent of their players, let alone the QB.
I don't understand why teams don't go all out and spend money on good coaches, like they do for players. Miami made an unclassy move by waving money in harbaugh's face, but it makes sense. If you have the chance to get a coach that will put together a team that can make a run for a decade or more, it's worth spending the money.
Mortensen said the most reassuring comments i've heard so far on harbuagh. He can coach players up, he has modern, innovative strategy and he's competitive.
i don't think Brady, Rodgers, Favre or even Manning or Montana would've had their success with different coaches.
what is your perception on the importance of the Qb vs the coach?

What's even more sad than those trying to pass off frozen food as homemade, is that people's tastes have become so numb that they can't tell the difference anyway.

- Meet the author
It is difficult today to imagine life before standard time was established in 1884. In the middle of the nineteenth century, for example, there were 144 official time zones in North America alone. The confusion that ensued, especially among the burgeoning railroad companies, was an hourly comedy of errors that ultimately threatened to impede progress. The creation of standard time, with its two dozen global time zones, is one of the great inventions of the Victorian Era, yet it has been largely taken for granted.
In Time Lord, Clark Blaise re-creates the life of Sanford Fleming, who struggled to convince the world to accept standard time. It's a fascinating story of science, politics, nationalism, and the determined vision of one man who changed the world. Set in a time marked by substantial technological and cultural transformation, Time Lord is also an erudite exploration of art, literature, consciousness, and our changing relationship to time

The Discovery of Time
An obvious question demands to be answered from the outset: Can anyone have a definition of time? Time is invisible and indescribable, endlessly fascinating and universally compelling. Time is everywhere; thus nowhere. It animates the world, yet nothing survives it. We can only guess how it started, or when it will end. It is our intimate assassin. One thing it lacks, however, except in Greek myth, is a compelling narrative.
Natural time?the time of the gods, the sun and the moon?starts in a savage, glorious myth and ends on an Irish railway platform in 1876, when Sandford Fleming missed his train. Originally, Time was embodied in a god, Uranus. He ruled over an immutable world. His children were the seven visible planets. Acting on a prophecy that his life was in danger from one of them, Uranus did the natural thing and slaughtered them all. Their mother, his sister Gaia, was able to hide one son, Kronos. Kronos, upon maturity, did the natural thing?castrated and killed his father. He married his sister, Rhea. When he learned of a plot against him, he cannibalized his children, but for Zeus, whose sleeping body Rhea had replaced with a stone. Zeus, of course, would castrate and kill his father.
Time is a bloodthirsty savage. None of us gets out alive, regardless of piety, decency, beauty, or innocence. But Zeus, at least, made it tolerable by setting the clock of mortality and mutability. We die, but we are replaced. Our children do supplant us; and they bury us. They can't admit it, but they want their parents dead. And parents can't admit it, but they want their children forever helpless and dependent. So long as they remain babies, we stay in our virile prime. Their maturing is our death. Mutability saves us from unthinkable violence, at the cost of our own life. I can't imagine a more ethically charged dilemma.
The powers of Time were scattered. Different gods attended to prophecy, history, fate, and dreams. Priestly castes learned the natural periodicities of the days, months, and years and determined rituals and sacrifices required for harvests, protection from floods, and return of the rains. Natural time is cyclical, a closed system, not admitting to change. Gods of the natural world are mysterious, unknowable, and violent. Any variation in worship might-or might not-bring instant death.
The collapse of "natural" thinking was most sudden, and most dramatic, in England. It was in England that the Romantic embrace of nature reached doctrinal intensity, where rambles in the Lake District inspired poetry, where the great and permanent forms of nature were invoked as guides in time of crisis and despair. One thinks of nature?s power not only to soothe but to inspire reveries of timelessness, as in Keats's "Ode on a Grecian Urn" (1818). But England soon embraced the Industrial Revolution with even deeper fervor, so that within little more than a generation, the nation had been transformed into a virtual laboratory for creative destruction. Thirty years after Keats's ode, in The Communist Manifesto, time became cheaper than sand, not dearer than gold, a servant, not a master. It could be leased back to an employer at a fair rate and for a set duration, or even confiscated by the proposed new state on the behalf of labor. The social structure and the political order were transformed, but not by Marx and Engels. The revolutionary agent was speed, the new velocity introduced by trains and the telegraph. If industrialism and rationality teach anything, it is that nothing is permanent, especially nothing found in nature. There is no "natural" law. Displaying gratitude for the gods' gift of time became less important than showing up punctually for a day's work and collecting a guaranteed wage at the end of the week. Standard time, which also arrived in Britain in 1848, is the ultimate expression of human control over the apparently random forces of nature. Writers who find themselves fascinated by some aspect of time usually confess their inadequacy, or their confusion, by invoking St. Augustine's famous admission in his Confessions. It reads in essence: "I know what time is, but when I try to describe it, I cannot." That leaves quite an opening for anyone who would rise to the challenge. The English historian Simon Schama, in the opening of Landscape and Memory, speaks directly to the issue:
For a small boy with his head in the past, Kipling's fantasy [Puck of Pook's Hill] was potent magic. Apparently, there were some places in England where, if you were a child (in this case Dan or Una), people who had stood on the same spot centuries before would suddenly and inexplicably materialize. With Puck's help you could time-travel by standing still. On Pook's Hill, lucky Dan and Una got to chat with Viking warriors, Roman centurions, Norman knights, and then went home for tea.
The American physicist George Smoot, combining astrophysics with autobiography, begins his Wrinkles in Time on a simpler note: "There is something about looking at the night sky that makes a person wonder." A few sentences later, he brings that childhood wonder up to date: I could discover not only new things, like ponds and tadpoles, but I could also find out what caused things to happen, how they happened, and how things fit together. For me it was like walking into a dark museum and turning on a light. There were incredible treasures to behold.
Fiction writers attracted to time can only envy historians and astronomers. Time, after all, is their raw material. Novelists are no less wonder-struck, no less time-besotted, and no less driven to fit things together, but their tool is the story, the actors and plot. Their approach lies closer to the way of sociology and psychiatry (or perhaps forensic science), stopping time, fragmenting it, backing it up, moving it forward, examining the pieces. Time lacks that narrative base, it is so nebulous that it might evade definition all together, by anyone. "Time is like Oakland," the sociologist Murray Davis once said, echoing Gertrude Stein, "there's no then there."
First of all, time comes in two distinct varieties: the untamed, mysterious Time, born with the big bang itself, and civil, obedient standard time, as in "What time is it?" or "How long has this been going on?" It's not clear that the same word even applies to both, or what the nature of their relationship, if any, might be. Perhaps time should have two names, like "horse" and "equus," the one to stand for hardworking, domesticated time, that which we control and can describe?the calendars, clocks, minutes and hours of the civil day?and the other for the untamed and unnamable, that which nature has not yet released.
The cesium-ion atomic clock is so accurate that it "loses" only one second every ten thousand years, and even that exact standard is open to further precision. It divides each second into more than twenty billion pulses. But what exactly is it dividing, what is it measuring, what is a second, what is a minute? And if we "lose" it, where does it go? When basketball games are won or lost in the final seconds, or when downhill ski races and Olympic dashes are decided by tenths, hundredths, thousandths, or ten-thousandths of a second, are we honoring accuracy or exposing the arbitrary nature of measurement, the meta-measuring of measurement itself? It seems apparent that some contests are not won or lost in head-to-head competition, but in the anachronism of relying on a starter's pistol, our inability to mark a true beginning-or, in terms of this book, our failure to fix a proper prime meridian. A smart lawyer could argue that a runner lined up in an outer lane, twenty yards away from the starter's pistol, hears it a significant thousandth of a second later than a runner five or six lanes closer.
The irony is inescapable. Ever-finer precision creates ever-widening ambiguity. The nineteenth century's faith in rationality led supremely confident rationalists in anthropology, sociology, and psychology to study the presumptions behind civilization, or reason itself. Only confident rationalists could explore the irrational, but once they got there, what they discovered undermined the confidence that had got them there in the first place. Enthusiastic evolutionists, as most late-Victorian scientists were, believed they?d been given a key to understanding far more than the origin of species. They saw evolution as applying to history, society, economics, to God, the cosmos, language and logic and the mind itself. Thomas Henry Huxley, the great apostle of Victorian science, believed, in 1887, that applied evolutionary theory would deliver a unified explanation of everything?biology, physics, chemistry, and religion. In 1879, Leslie Stephen, introducing the essays and lectures of his polymathic classmate William Clifford, who had died tragically young of tuberculosis that year, recalled their undergraduate enthusiasm for rationalism in all fields: Clifford was not content with merely giving his assent to the doctrine of evolution; he seized on it as a living spring of action, a principle to be worked out, practised upon, used to win victories over nature, and to put new vigour into speculation. Natural Selection was to be the master key of the universe; we expected it to solve all riddles and reconcile all contradictions. Among other things it was to give us a new system of ethics, combining the exactness of the utilitarian with the poetical ideals of the transcendentalist.
Two years after writing this, a formidable presence appeared in Leslie Stephen's life, his daughter Virginia. She would grow up just as High Victorian certainties were yielding to doubt. Her generation would devote their creative lives to the refutation of nearly all the comforting, steady-state theories of consciousness they'd ingested in their privileged, progressive childhoods. The scientific and material advances that gave leaders of the Victorian establishment, like Leslie Stephen, their faith in reason became a pompous culture of confidence to Edwardian progressives like H. G. Wells, and a target of ridicule for Oscar Wilde. A generation later, Lytton Strachey, D. H. Lawrence, and Leslie Stephen's daughter Virginia Woolf saw their complacency as a pathology of posturing.
The thing we call time, in other words, is very difficult to disentwine from the ways we measure it, from language, social convention, or the internal clock of our DNA. It cannot be described in terms outside of itself. It is, as St. Augustine discovered, a tautology. Many things are like time, but time is only like itself. What can be described, however, is the history of standard time, clock-and-calendar time, the man-made system of time-reckoning. The great achievement of standardization in the nineteenth century, culminating with the Prime Meridian Conference in 1884, was to rationalize 'real time' over thousand-mile (or fifteen-degree) zones, and to give it a starting line, Greenwich, agreed to by all. Thanks to standardization, we had the man-made tools to calculate that New York?s four o?clock was simultaneously Chicago's three o'clock, London's nine o'clock or Sydney's . . . whatever. (At least, we know how to figure it out.)
It is useful, of course, to know what the "real" time is in other parts of the world when we make telephone calls and run the risk of waking up real people from real sleep, though it hardly matters to e-mailers or stock-traders. Standard time as we?ve inherited it is the final great achievement of Victorian rationality; unreformed, it is vulnerable to the same forces that swept away other golden keys to understanding. (I can't imagine that twenty or thirty years from now we will still be computing time on a foundation that we've inherited, unchanged, from the age of steam.) Adjusting to new time will be like learning a new language, perhaps very much like learning a new language, if we're hard-wired with space-time coordinates, as Immanuel Kant originally proposed, or as some modern followers of Noam Chomsky might endorse.
Time has only one visible analogue, and that is space. For Fleming, leader of the standard-time movement in the late nineteenth century and a trained surveyor, time and longitude were interchangeable. He even devised elaborate new watch-faces to prove his point. A glance at the outer wheel of longitudinal letters would give the time, and the inner wheel of clock numbers would disclose the longitude.
In 1860, when he was then a thirty-three-year-old surveyor and civil engineer, the University of Toronto selected him as external examiner for the first-year course in Surveying and Geodesy. John Sang would have been proud. The test he set bears a close resemblance to his own apprenticeship as a teenager in Scotland:
1.?Give a general description of a theodolite, its construction, and the uses of its essential parts.
2.?What is understood by the line of collimation, and how is the error of collimation detected and corrected?
3.?Describe the construction and uses of an optical square.
4.?Describe generally one or more methods of conducting a trigonometrical survey and protracting the same, also the instruments employed in the field and office.
5.?Explain the principle of the vernier.
6.?State how the latitude of a place is ascertained.
7.?What is understood by magnetic variation, as well as by the changes in the variation?
8.?Give a description of one or more methods by which a true meridian may be determined, pointing out the comparative advantages of each method in practice.
9.?Point out how the longitude is formed.
10.?From the following bearings and distances, protract the figure, prove the accuracy of the bearings, correct the error, if any, and find the approximate area: [a six-sided figure was given].
11.?A solid has two parallel ends 128 feet apart; the area of one end is 450 square feet; that of the other 270 square feet; find the number of cubic yards it contains by the prismoidal formula, and by any other method.
In many ways, Fleming's surveying test of 1860, conceived to judge ability in the measurement of space, applies equally well to time. A vernier (named for its French inventor), incidentally, is a kind of gauge, analogous to the second hand on a watch, that can be attached to a larger measuring instrument in order to provide an instant readout of more precise divisions of distance. The theodolite, then as now, is the basic instrument of surveying and civil engineering. Mounted on a tripod and precisely leveled, it measures vertical and horizontal angles. When the "lines of collimation" are connected, uneven surfaces are converted into a precisely rendered grid. In 1860, determining one's precise geographical location was a thoroughly rational profession. Temporal positioning, by contrast, was still arrived at by solar approximation. Before the decade had ended, in 1869, the first tentative proposal for linking time and longitude?that is, for rationalizing the dimensions of time and space-would be launched.
The surveyors' instruments have their great and small applications, from establishing the earth's longitudes and building railways, to determining property lines. They have analogies to timekeeping. Verniers and theodolites date from the sixteenth century, and both were in Fleming?s trunk carried from Scotland. When John Sang and his sons were forced to sell their instruments in a bankruptcy proceeding, they were giving up the tools of their identity.

I was expecting an insightful, readable, and entertaining book about Fleming and his role in the creation of Standard Time. Nope. Instead, what you get is a meandering discourse on a bit of this and that and a lot of everything else. Some of Blais' insights are interesting, but most run in circles, and in the end you're still not sure how large a role Fleming played in the establishment of Standard Time. It takes real dedication to stick with this book from beginning to end. It's definitely not a light or easy read.

Objections filed by the IUE union were settled Wednesday.
NEW YORK (AP) — The judge overseeing Delphi Corp.'s bankruptcy case indicated Wednesday that he will approve the auto supplier's plan to hand control of the company to its lenders and eventually end its nearly four-year stay in bankruptcy protection.
"To me it seems like a valid exercise of business judgment," U.S. Judge Robert Drain said of Delphi's plan at the conclusion of the 8-hour-long court session.
All of the objections to Delphi's plan were either withdrawn or dismissed by Drain on Wednesday, with the exception of one minor dispute that the judge said he would rule on Thursday morning.
The hearing is set to reconvene today and include a closing presentation from Delphi's attorneys.
If the plan is approved it would pave the way for Delphi to soon emerge from bankruptcy protection. The company has set a target date of Aug. 31 and expects to be out of Chapter 11 by Sept. 30, Delphi attorney Jack Butler said.
Hundreds of attorneys and Delphi stakeholders filled Drain's Manhattan courtroom, along with two overflow rooms, for Wednesday's hearing. Several high-ranking Delphi executives were also present but were not asked to testify.
Nearly 2,000 objections — including about 1,400 from Delphi workers and retirees worried about the future of their pensions — were filed against the plan, though many had been resolved before the start of the hearing.
After lengthy arguments from their attorneys, Drain dismissed objections from the Michigan Workers' Compensation Agency, Texas tax authorities and Indiana's Howard County, along with a trio of labor unions who represent retirees whose pension benefits could be reduced as a result of the plan.
Objections filed by handful of Delphi's labor unions, including the United Auto Workers and the IUE-CWA, were settled Wednesday.
Late Monday, Troy, Michigan-based Delphi said that its lenders won out over a California private-equity firm in an auction for the company's assets. The lenders, led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, agreed to forgive a combined $3.45 billion in debt owed them by Delphi.
The deal is backed by General Motors Co., which has pumped billions of dollars into Delphi since it filed for Chapter 11 in October 2005 to ensure a stream of parts for its vehicles.
Delphi, which was Detroit-based GM's parts division before being spun off in 1999, still produces about 10 percent of the parts used in GM's global production and its components go into nearly all of GM's North American production lines.
Last month, Delphi agreed to let an affiliate of Beverly Hills, California-based Platinum Equity take control of most of the auto supplier's businesses with the help of billions from GM. But Delphi's lenders, which have financed the company's operations during its years under court oversight, balked at the deal, calling it a "secretly negotiated transaction" that violated Delphi's obligations to maximize the value of the lenders' investment. In response, they submitted their own bid, which ultimately won out over the deal with Platinum after an 18-hour auction process that ended on Monday.
Butler said after Wednesday's hearing that talks between the auto supplier and Platinum continue.
Delphi on Thursday plans to ask Drain to approve a $30.5 million payment to Platinum to compensate them for their expenses.
Delphi said the agreement with its lenders is similar in structure to the one reached with Platinum in which GM would take back some of Delphi's businesses, including its Saginaw, Michigan-based steering business, and facilities and help finance the deal.
The exact details of the credit bid, which isn't a public document, have not been released. The auto supplier said the agreement with its lenders is similar in structure to the one reached with Platinum in which GM would take back some of Delphi's businesses, including its Saginaw, Mich.-based steering business, and facilities and help finance the deal.
Delphi said Monday that it has resolved objections filed by several state and federal agencies. If approved, the deal with lenders also will resolve 600 severance-related objections through the assumption and payment of those obligations, Delphi said.
More than 1,400 pension-related objections filed by Delphi employees, retirees and others still remain. Several of the company's suppliers have also filed objections, but those disputes have been adjourned to a separate Aug. 17 hearing and aren't expected to affect the outcome of Wednesday's hearing.
The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
I am happy for the local 717 employees concerning their contract being honored by the new owners of the Delphi business, now let's hope the retirees can get a fair shake also.
I hope people will remember it was the treasury who is taking away the benefits of the retiree's not necessarily GM.
So the politicians who are to oversee the treasury and give them directives should be held accountable for the out come of this battle.

Rachel Bilson in designer jeans
Rachel Bilson in Current/Elliott Stiletto Jeans in White Star
Rachel Bilson was spotted on her way to breakfast in Los Angeles, California. She wore a pair of the Current/Elliott Stiletto Skinny jeans in White Star with a military jacket and some Loeffler Randall x Suno Audra Flat Sandals. I love how much of a fan Rachel is of Suno. I think they make some amazing graphics.
We haven't gotten many sightings of Rachel lately. I would like to see her go even more bold than these and wear the Current/Elliott Stiletto in Neon Arrowhead next. More fitted though. She has been quite the fan of slouchier styles in her recent sightings, when we get any of her. You can click here to purchase these jeans at Singer22 for $218.

Rachel Bilson in Goldsign
Just a couple of days ago I was saying it had been a while since we saw Rachel Bilson on the blog! She was spotted out in her Goldsign Jenny jeans again, as she stopped by a local liquor store to pick up a gift.
It seems as though Rachel is spending more time concentrating on fashion than film, which I think is great because she has a unique style! Rachel who appears on the April cover of Lucky magazine. She shared what her favorite shoes are, "My Chanel boots are my favorite. They're so easy to wear with everything and make your feet feel so stylish." You can buy Rachel's jeans online here for $228.
Rachel Bilson in Goldsign
I feel like we haven't seen a lot of Rachel Bilson on the blog lately, I miss seeing her style, as it's always unique. Rachel was spotted wearing a pair of Goldsign's Jenny high rise slim leg selvedge jeans in Debut.
She paired them with a simple tee and a pair of leopard print sandals, for a day out with Hayden Christensen. Hopefully we'll start to see Rachel on the blog more frequently. You can buy these jeans online for $288.
Rachel Bilson in Textile Elizabeth and James
Rachel Bilson was caught doing some shopping in Los Feliz, California. She wore a pair of Textile Elizabeth and James Stevie jeans in Dazed. I have been wondering when we would see Rachel wear some Textile. She loves vintage and these jeans have this brands exact aesthetic.
I think these jeans look great on Rachel. I like that she played with the whole 70's feel of the jeans by pairing them with a white tee and platforms, yet Rachel doesn't look dated because of her accessories. These jeans are no longer available, but you can click here to purchase one of the many other great styles by Textile at Shopbop.

We are in the process of switching over to Access 2007. We have numerous data tables in Access 2003 files.
In one case, the user has 2007 on his PC and opened the front end in 2007. No problems.
When the the user is done, he clicks a button that executes a macro full of update queries. The macro reaches the first query and halts. We get a message saying we do not have permissions to write to this linked table (2003 format). There were no security files involved. We re-linked from 2007, same problem. LAN permssions were ok.

Not much about the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference has changed between last season and today.
Sure, Kenny Hasbrouck, Devon Austin, Gary Springer, Ryan Schneider, Benson Egemonye, and Marquis Sullivan all graduated. Chris Smith transferred, Fairfield dismissed Jon Han, and David Devezin is gone due to eligibility issues.
But all that is normal. Seniors graduate; others leave for various reasons.
It will take some time for MAAC followers to become accustomed to the absence of the Hasbroucks and Austins, but, even without the familiar faces, the general theme of the league will be almost identical to what fans are used to.
Once again, Fran McCaffery's Siena Saints are slated as the obvious preseason favorite and Joe Mihalich's Niagara Purple Eagles are close behind in second. After those two, though, spots three through 10 can be taken by anyone.
The order of this slideshow is based on last year's final standings.

Middleton (29) will write a column for the upmarket chain's
monthly magazine, Waitrose Kitchen, called "Pippa's Friday
Night Feasts".
Her foray into kitchen advice comes after she released a book
called "Celebrate" last year, which was a guide to
entertaining through the year and built on the experience she
gained working for her family's party-planning business.
The book by the sister of Britain's future queen was both
praised and pilloried in equal measure but did not sell well
and was quickly discounted in book stores.
William Sitwell, editor of Waitrose Kitchen, said readers
would enjoy Middleton's relaxed and easy entertaining ideas.
"Pippa will be an excellent contributor to the magazine,
bringing with her a wealth of experience of entertaining,
gained in part from working at her family's party business,"
he said in a statement.
Her first column will appear in the magazine's April issue
and will feature casual dining ideas and recipes.
Middleton said her column would be an "exciting opportunity
to share my own passion and enthusiasm for food and
entertaining and I can't wait to get started".

REGION: Feds seize suspected counterfeits at O'side swap meets
Raids part of larger probe
Federal agents recently raided two Oceanside flea markets, seizing thousands of pieces of brand-name clothing, from NFL jerseys to Nike jackets to Lacoste shirts, all of them suspected counterfeits, according to court documents.
Prompted by an unidentified tipster, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have been investigating vendors at the Mission Bazaar and the Mission Tianguis on Mission Avenue for more than a year, according to search warrant affidavits by Special Agent Tyrone Duren filed at the Vista courthouse.
Three stalls at the indoor swap meets were raided Oct. 28.
Both bazaars sit in aging strip malls within a mile of Interstate 5 in a downscale business district of gas stations, fast-food joints, small supermarkets and coin laundries.
While admitting she sold some fakes, one of the raided vendors is questioning why agents also searched her home, kept her and her sons in handcuffs and took personal items.
The raids at the indoor markets and three business owners' homes were part of a larger probe, and more action is expected, ICE spokeswoman Lauren Mack said.
However, with the investigation open, she said she could not comment on its scope or purpose, so it's unclear whether agents are watching any other North County vendors.
ICE, with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, is charged with keeping counterfeit goods off the streets and breaking up criminal rings that manufacture and distribute them. During fiscal year 2008, agents seized counterfeit or pirated merchandise worth approximately $273 million, a 38 percent increase over the previous year, officials said.
Federal officials cite industry groups that estimate counterfeiting and piracy cost the U.S. economy about $200 billion and 750,000 American jobs each year.
AT&T Sportswear and the T-shirt Outlet at the Mission Bazaar, and Sox & Sox at the Mission Tianguis were raided, with boxes of logo-wear seized. No vendors have been arrested, and it's not clear whether any will be. No one was arrested in 2005 flea market raids in Texas, ICE officials said. But retailers, wholesalers and international distributors have been sentenced to federal prison for selling counterfeited and pirated goods, officials said.
Locally, Duren first visited the family-run AT&T Sportswear on Aug. 29. He looked at clothing with Reebok and NFL trademarks, taking careful note of design details, inventory numbers and where they were made, his search warrant states.
Then, to compare, he headed to nearby Sports Authority on Vista Way, a licensed retailer of NFL and Reebok.
"The items were the same in most respects," he said.
But, he testified, there were a few differences. An item at AT&T Sportswear was made in Mexico; its Sports Authority counterpart came from Honduras. Among the suspected fakes, every shirt or hat from a given line would have the same serial number, Duren said. But at Sports Authority, the serial numbers were sequential.
He also noted inferior stitching and detail in the suspected knock-offs.
On Oct. 17, 2008, a private investigator from Investigative Consultants, expert private investigators who worked with ICE, visited the business, buying an NFL jersey and a Reebok shirt. The investigator also noticed thousands of Major League Baseball hats and Lacoste, Adidas and Famous Stars and Straps apparel, Duren said.
The investigator determined the purchased jerseys were fake and estimated $53,200 in counterfeit goods were for sale that day.
It is not clear whether the expert investigators were contracted by ICE or industry groups. In the past, ICE has joined with investigators under contract with the NFL, officials said.
When visited at AT&T Sportswear this week, owner Andres Tapia, who works with his wife and adult daughter, declined to comment. Agents seized hundreds of items from the shop and Tapia's Oceanside home in late October. The stall was jam-packed on Wednesday with hats, shirts and shorts for sale.
T-Shirt Outlet was also open for business Wednesday. Its owner, Sung Ryll Oh, 59, said in Korean through a translator that the raids were a bad memory and he didn't want to talk about them.
Sean Kim, Mission Bazaar's owner of nine years, said he recalled no similar raids in the past. He said each stall has a business license, and he has no way of knowing whether their goods are real.
"I can't go to each store and see if the Adidas or Nike are fake," he said, adding that he just can't tell.
Peri Yi Shin, 47, owner of Sox & Sox, said that about 15 agents took everything from her business. They raided her Oceanside home at 6:30 a.m., waking her and her two college-age sons, handcuffing them as they waited in pajamas or boxer shorts for about three hours while agents searched the home, she said.
"It was very embarrassing," Shin said.
As a small retailer who does not manufacture illegal goods, she questioned ICE's tactics. She would like to consult a lawyer, but can't afford to, she said.
Her family's sole breadwinner, Shin said she has run the stall for about three years and had sold some knock-offs. But she said most of the seized merchandise was authentic, as is everything she sells now.
On Wednesday, the shop was glutted with Chargers and Raiders Jerseys, as well as baseball caps stamped with the Major League Baseball insignia.
In one undercover visit to Sox & Sox in October 2008, investigators bought NFL, Reebok, Hollister and Famous Stars and Straps shirts they later determined were fakes, according to court documents.
On July 29, an undercover agent bought a Reebok jersey for $59.99 that was determined to be authentic.
Both fake and authentic trademarked gear were purchased or seen in all three businesses, Duren's affidavits note.
This is a "typical practice of vendors who engage in the sale of counterfeit goods," Duren states in his affidavit, citing an expert.
Shin declined to say where she got her merchandise. She said she told the ICE agents who her suppliers were, and Duren's affidavit shows that ICE summoned Shin's phone records and identified two possible wholesalers.
Duren testified he also ordered phone records for the other two vendors and got information about their suppliers.
It is not clear whether ICE will pursue wholesalers who may be supplying counterfeit goods to local vendors.

After Orlando Nightclub Attack, SIOP Experts Discuss Diversity and Workplace Violence
By Stephany Below, Communications Manager
In the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States since September 11, 2001, the recent mass shooting at Pulse nightclub highlighted important concerns surrounding terrorism.
The fact that the shooter specifically targeted a gay nightclub during Latino night adds LGBT and diversity concerns into the ever-complicated issue—and leaves many organizations wondering how, if at all, they should respond.
On June 12, Omar Mateen killed 49 people and wounded 53 others in a terrorist attack inside Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida. The attack has been considered a hate crime, as Mateen, a 29-year-old American security guard, is thought to have targeted the club due to his anti-LGBT stance. It was the deadliest incident of violence against LGBT people in U.S. history. Pulse was also hosting Latin Night and most of the victims were Hispanic. After a three-hour standoff, Mateen was shot and killed by Orlando police, ending his rampage. However, the horror has not necessarily ended for those who were victimized or those who were called to helped end the attack....Read more

- In terms of mobile revenues, the worldwide mobile market stood at 718.4 billion at end-2006. It is expected to increase at a strong rate and reach 1,094.9 by end-2012.
- Advanced and emerging countries have different arrangements for sharing revenue generated from premium SMS services. In developed countries, content owners and
aggregators get a higher share than their counterparts in developing countries. In most of the emerging markets, the operators share is quite high (sometimes as high as 60 percent), as is the case in India and the Philippines. However, there are a few exceptions. In China, operators get only 20-30 percent of the total revenue through premium SMS services, while aggregators and content owners share the remainder.
- The worldwide mobile handset market is experiencing tremendous growth. It is estimated that
approximately 1,144 million handsets were shipped to customers worldwide in FY-2007, and the market is expected to be worth USD 166.1 billion. In 2006, the number of handsets sold worldwide exceeded 990 million. This number is expected to grow at a CAGR of just over
10.8 percent from 2006 to 2011.
- The revenue sharing arrangement in advanced markets such as the US and the UK is in favour of content providers. However, in emerging markets, such as
India, operators account for a larger share.

Living with a Wild God: A Nonbeliever's Search for the Truth about Everything (Compact Disc)
Email or call for price
Special Order
The "New York Times" bestselling author of "Nickel and Dimed" returns with a powerful memoir of her quest, beginning in childhood, to discover the truth about the universe and everything else.
In middle age, Barbara Ehrenreich came across the journal she had kept during her tumultuous adolescence and set out to reconstruct that quest, which had taken her to the study of science and through a cataclysmic series of uncanny or as she later learned to call them, mystical experiences. A staunch atheist and rationalist, she is profoundly shaken by the implications of her lifelong search.
Part memoir, part philosophical and spiritual inquiry, "Living with a Wild God" brings an older woman's wry and erudite perspective to a young girl's uninhibited musings on the questions that, at one point or another, torment us all. Certain to be a classic, "Living with a Wild God" combines intellectual rigor with a frank account of the inexplicable, in Ehrenreich's singular voice, to produce a true literary achievement.
About the Author
Barbara Ehrenreich is the bestselling author of sixteen previous books, including "Nickel and Dimed", "Bait and Switch", "Bright-sided", "This Land Is Their Land", "Dancing In The Streets" and "Blood Rites". A frequent contributor to "Harper's" and "The Nation", she has also been a columnist at "The New York Times" and "Time" magazine.
A simply brilliant, hilarious satirist. "The Baltimore Sun"
It would be hard to find a wittier, more insightful guide to the last three decades than Ehrenreich. Arguing with her is part of the pleasure of reading her. Laura Shapiro, "Newsweek"

Cisco publish the Internetworking Technology Handbook on their website but they only provide the individual chapters in pdf. Is there a .pdf of the entire thing available?

This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
Actually you can just run:
Which will grab just the PDFs.
You can use the GPL2/free basic version of pdfsam (PDF Split and Merge) or ghostscript (gs) if on Linux/command line (apt-get install ghostscript if on Ubuntu/Debian, etc. likely there's an RPM or you can compile from source as well).
I can't believe I just did this, but what the hey: here's the entire gs cmd, copy and paste (and I better get the Answer for this):
I know it might be fairly labour intensive, but you could download all the chapters and the use something like PDF Merge 1.0 to join them all together into one.
If you can't find it as one, easily way to get all the chapters would be something like:
I use variations on the above to get lectures sometimes, if the site is complicated I might use a perl HTML parser. You will need to modify the above a little, didn't want to post the exact code to crawl a site.

Police are closing in on the kidnappers of an American reporter. So far, 16 suspects have been arrested and the computer, used to send email and pictures of the captive, seized. The problem is, the teeming cities and villages of Pakistan provide plenty of places to hide. The kidnappers are a Moslem radical gang that has used kidnapping of Westerners in the past to achieve their goals. Or at least try to. A planeload of Indians were once hijacked in order to get some of the unsuccessful kidnappers released from Indian prisons.
