Unhinged federal Labor MP Steve Gibbons:
Funny how we celebrate Invasion day by throwing bits of dead animals on a cooking fire just like the people we dispossessed!
Gibbons is such a class act. And he promises to get worse …
UPDATE. Gibbons joins the ashamed.
Have Your Say
Does this man have a political death wish or what?
Sun 27 Jan 13 (03:00pm)
Sun 27 Jan 13 (04:59pm)
Nope. He's going to retire at the next election apparently.
So basically he can say what he wants without giving a toss.
There is a remarkable dearth of couth and culture over there in LaborLand.
I reckon the Liberals and Nats need to get to work up there and make sure they've got a good candidate. Time to bring the seat over to the conservative side of things.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (05:59pm)
Maybe a sausage sizzle too many?
No, just another out of touch elitist Labor jerk.
Mon 28 Jan 13 (09:47am)
As Scott Morrison says, "his tweets are childish and show he is increasingly out of touch" [sic].
Amazing to think that in your final year of a long career you would just foolishly set yourself up as a rolled gold buffoon. Congratulations Gibbons on setting yourself up for a year of relentless and absolutely deserved ridicule, don't then do the typical Labor thing by blaming dark conservative forces ... mate you have crafted it all by yourself.
Mon 28 Jan 13 (01:46pm)
"He's going to retire at the next election apparently.
So basically he can say what he wants without giving a toss."
Thats what makes these comments so scary! He toed the line, while all the time believing this sort of thing? Who would say such a thing as a genuine comment free from the attempt to win votes, except the truly deluded?
And how many other members of 'our government' are as crazy, but don't express it purely for votes? Reminds me of what Garrett said "once we get in, we'll change it all". He was right!
Mon 28 Jan 13 (09:27pm)
He's clumsily reworded a bit straight from an old, preachy episode of The Simpsons.
The genius.
Um, it was the English who invaded, they arrived on boats. Not Australians.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (03:05pm)
Sun 27 Jan 13 (05:25pm)
Given that the First Fleet consisted of a few hundred convicts, guarded by two hundred Royal Marines, wouldn't that have been the smallest invasion force ever sent by anyone to invade anywhere?
Sun 27 Jan 13 (06:12pm)
Exactly. I personally didn't dispossess anybody, and nor did my ancestors.
Maybe Steve Gibbons did, and that's why he says 'we'?
Sun 27 Jan 13 (08:46pm)
The first reply to this twit's tweet.
"You silly arse we're all living here because of 1788. Had the Dutch French or Germans got in first you would not exist."
Enough said.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (08:55pm)
Why doesn't Gibbons just give the bit he occupies back?
Sun 27 Jan 13 (09:28pm)
History's a real inconvenience for the hand wringers.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (11:39pm)
Moreover, if the "people we dispossessed" are celebrating "invasion day" just like "us", does that mean there has been a repossession?
Mon 28 Jan 13 (09:15am)
just like the people we dispossessed
I feel humiliated and racially vilified by that comment. I arrived in this country peacefully 50 years ago. I did not invade or dispossess anyone. Gibbons does not seem to think that people like me are Australian.
And by the way, Steve, my people have a long history of throwing bits of dead animals on cooking fires. It's not something we learned from the people you seem to think you dispossessed.
You would think your mates (the reporters) would have a field day simply putting these idiotic ideas into print, but nooooooooooo! They tell you that Tony Abbott has today made no mention of clearing the deficit in the first term should he win power. The amazing thing is, can anyone tell me the deficit at the present time?
Sun 27 Jan 13 (03:08pm)
Mon 28 Jan 13 (09:02am)
Yes the idiot box aka TV news will never tell you the real deficit, where the money is borrowed from? How much we have to pay just in interest ? How long will it take to pay off ? Where has all the money gone ? Instead the idiot box is so busy pushing the global warming BS and so called catastrophic weather conditions it does not have time for real news that efffects everyone.
Labor fools like this are a help to educating the grandkids, I just show them the utterings from these clowns and they understand what a moron is.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (03:11pm)
Sun 27 Jan 13 (05:18pm)
Yes, and this instructional process is absolutely elegant in its simplicity.
Simple process: dismiss whatever these idiots say.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (06:15pm)
Why is it so many lefties hate the human race? I really just do not get it. Envy yeah I know, but jeez get a life people.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (09:43pm)
It's 'virtuous narcissism', drawing attention to the person's care for a minority or the underdog. In such stark contrast to Tony Abbott's quitely going about what he does with the Aboriginal communities each year. Cannibals though?!
By name and by nature. Who the hell votes for an imbecile like this?
Sun 27 Jan 13 (03:13pm)
Sun 27 Jan 13 (06:55pm)
Habib, who votes for this imbecile? Your normal Labor voter. Imbeciles all of them.
He'd better watch it. If Nicola Roxon gets her ways, people may be offended by Gibbons' tweets and he'll be sued. Such irony!!
Sun 27 Jan 13 (03:31pm)
Sun 27 Jan 13 (04:47pm)
Yes, such irony would indeed be sweet.
Funny how we celebrate Invasion day ...
What rubbish.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (03:31pm)
Sun 27 Jan 13 (09:53pm)
An invasion is a military offensive in which large parts of the armed forces of one geopolitical entity aggressively enter territory controlled by another such entity, generally with the objective of either conquering, liberating or re-establishing control or authority over a territory, forcing the partition of a country, altering the established government or gaining concessions from said government, or a combination thereof.
Given that a fleet of a few hundred, many of which were convicts, landed at Sydney cove then calling it an invasion is quite simply a lie.
The Immortal Bulldog and Lord Dickson have nailed it with their twitter comments. Let's not forget his federal leader is devoid of class. So this is to be expected from trashy politicians.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (03:32pm)
Classy bunch all right. Why would anyone want to be a tax payer these days?
Sun 27 Jan 13 (03:36pm)
What a waste of space.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (03:45pm)
He must be pleased with those twit comments.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (03:46pm)
Isn't this the MP who tweeted about Abbott 'posing' in his firefighter's garb? If Gillard had any sense of decency she would publicly ask this man to apologise.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (03:53pm)
Sun 27 Jan 13 (05:19pm)
No. That was Brandon O'Connor. But he was the one who referred to Tony Abbott as a "gutless douchebag" and Deputy Liberal Leader Julie Bishop a "narcissistic bimbo". What format has this moron got?
Pink arsed Gibbons.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (04:14pm)
"Steve Gibbons ?@SteveGibbonsMP
I hope everyone had a meaningful 'Invasion Day'!"
So on our National Day a member of the government calls it "Invasion Day".
Where on earth does he think the authority of the government come from? What a total moron.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (04:14pm)
Sun 27 Jan 13 (07:11pm)
Mark, I have just emailed this moron telling him what a disgrace he is.
And here I was thinking all gibbons were apes.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (04:16pm)
Sun 27 Jan 13 (04:37pm)
He is obviously one of the lesser apes doing the bidding of the red ape matriarch.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (06:05pm)
They are EG. It's just that the ones with hair all over them have more class than the one called Steve.
"If Gillard had any sense of decency"
Ha ha, good one.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (04:26pm)
Hey Gibbons, please feel free to find your nearest indigenous Australian and hand over everything you have including any real estate stolen from his ancestors.
Or would being non-hypocritical be just too much for you? How many days have you spent in indigenous communities making amends for the sins of your forefathers?
Sun 27 Jan 13 (04:32pm)
Mon 28 Jan 13 (09:24am)
A socialist feels a tremendous debt to his fellow man, which he intends to pay back with your money. (I don't know who said that first)
Mon 28 Jan 13 (10:19am)
My plan is that anyone who signed the "Sorry Book" should have all of their assets handed back to the Aborigines, and be able to lease them back at a commercial rate.
Now that would make them sorry.
I'm offended. using his governments new legislation i can sue for compensation over this offence which has clearly set me back many thousands of dollars in hurt feelings.
I may never be able to work again.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (04:38pm)
What can be said of a political party that has such fools as members?
Sun 27 Jan 13 (04:53pm)
Sun 27 Jan 13 (08:35pm)
They fully represent their voters?
People who call it Invasion Day should never be allowed to own property in Australia.
Sun 27 Jan 13 (05:29pm)
Sun 27 Jan 13 (08:53pm)
I was once told by one of the "doctor's wives" from a Perth suburb I won't name that "in the name of reconcilliation, every title deed over agricultural land should be declared invalid, and , if you want to stay there, you should have to re-negotiate with the traditional owners." I did ask when the title deed to her mansion would be declared invalid, and when she would be negotiating with the traditional owners. I was told not to be stupid, they had PAID for THEIR land ...
Mon 28 Jan 13 (09:08am)
And the clowns who beleive in the global warming scam should not be allowed to buy land near the sea (Sea level rising).
But ofcourse for the extremist freaks in the Labor party it is, do as I say not as I do.

Roger to end year as world no. 1!
It took Roger a moment to get going today, but when his engine was warm he showed a fantastic performance, defeating Andy Murray at the ATP World Tour Finals 3-6, 6-3, 6-1.
"It was a great atmosphere and I thought I played a great match," said Roger. "Andy was playing really well in that first set, I couldn't read his first serve and he made it very hard. When you are behind against the top players it's very difficult and I was a bit worried because I've lost so many three setters against him. But I picked up my game and when he dropped a bit, I took advantage. It's given me real confidence for my next match."
Murray's weapon in the first set was clearly his serve, which proved just a bit too strong for Roger. But our champ kept his cool, waiting for his chance and then peaked when it mattered, winning the last six games in series!
Roger has not booked his semi-final spot quite yet, but is of course very close to doing so. But what is certain is that Roger will once again end the year as the world's number one player! His victory today earned him enough points to keep Nadal at a distance. Roger is only the third player in history - after Jimmy Connors and Pete Sampras - to begin the new season at the top of the ranking for a fifth time (Sampras' record stands at six!).
Thank you for your very good match report--what a great thrill for you. All of one's worries/problems go into space when one watches Roger play LIVE do they not.
***Nochweiterroger**** P 19
Thank you also for your re
Thanks Roger for the perfect night out last night at the O2! I finally got to see you play live - you are amazing on the TV but you are incredible to watch live, and you beat Murray into the bargain. Congrats on your win and on being
godbless and goodluck on the next round!
Wonderful win and congratulations on finishing the year as no1, where I might add you belong AND how nice it will be for us to have you as the no1 tennis player on the planet at the 2010 AO.
Today so many of your shots were phenomenal-- too

As a pastoral counselor I sometimes have one on one talks, or sessions, with persons and their problems. In general they want someone to listen to them and to offer practical suggestions.
Let me tell you a brief story of a lady who came to me with a problem. She said that she could not forgive her stepfather, who molested her, many years before, although she had no desire for vengeance. She claimed that she could never get past the pain of it and felt that she could not leave her children, and grandchildren, with her mother because of the stepfather. Upon further talking with her I found out that she was mislead on the issue of forgiveness. She thought, and was taught, by some minister, that if she forgives someone all the pain would be instantly gone and it would be as if nothing had ever happened. She also was told by some elder that she must treat her stepfather as if nothing happened!!! She even had a guilt trip added to her burden!! She was evidently told that she felt bad because she had not truly forgiven the person! No wonder she felt so bad. I, myself, was angered by this. She had been misled in several ways. She was taught wrong. Actually forgiving someone does not mean you feel just like nothing ever happened, nor does it mean common sense, like protecting children, is set aside!! When you forgive someone, you essentially dismiss them to God to deal with. The Greek word for forgive is Ephiemi, and it implies that you are letting the person go or sending them off-to God... I found that the lady actually had forgiven her stepfather and gave him over to God, and I also found that she was properly concerned for her youngins. Her real problem was that she had a guilt trip laid at her door and of course the bad memories were still present. After talking with me a burden was lifted from her shoulder. She is now about 65 years of age. I also had her pray to God to take away the pain.. And bring closure and reconciliation.
It is important that we counsel correctly and not add guilt to someone who has been wronged, rapped, injured, or hurt in some way. Remember that God is our refuge--and we are to help, and edify one another!!! (Jude 20).

The Authority of the Gentile Illuminati, the Goy of Sothoth, is by BIRTHRIGHT... Just like Jesus,Just like Isaac,
What a great post! Thanks for sharing that story! I know how powerful and amazing forgiveness can be, as I have experienced its amazing effets many of times. But I never thought about it like that- that it is "giving it to God".
Sometimes, I give so much to God (my burdens) that I almost feel guilty, like it's a "cop-out". I mean, I know I am to carry my own cross. But, I also seek to glorify God that my faith and submission will please Him. So, when I worked on forgiveness, I never saw it as if I was giving it to the Lord. Thank-you for that analogy.
For me, I recall two instances of firgiveness that changed me.
One was, dealing with forgiving my step daughters' mom. She has done so many horrible things to them, and terrible things to me, and when I thought I could/worked on forgiving, she would just go around and do something else, then the anger would accumularte and fester up inside of me. It was a never ending circle.
So I knew of the verse
Matt 6:14 which says "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you", so, I worked on forgiving her- for ME. (hmm- right motive? I think not).
Then, I thought of the verse Luke 6:29
"And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also."
So, I aimed to forgive because it was the right thing to do.
And God reminded me of who I was before I knew Him- all the sinful things I did. I wasn't a nice person at all.
I began praying for her out of obedeince at first. I tried- I really tried, to sincerely mean what I asked for on her behalf. I even included in my prayer, because I know the Lord knows our hearts, that as I prayed, the hate was still present. But, when I first submitted to the Word and prayed for her, I began to WANT to care. I wanted to mean what I was saying. Then,it wasnt long at all that I truly did mean what I was saying. I started to feel a care for her and develop an understanding thanks be to God, for why she was the way she was. Soon, the selfishness I had, the anger I had- it all dissapated and the love of Christ fuilled me in this situation. As soon as I sought forgivess for her, and forgiveness for myself in the things I may have done to instigate and felt and said, etc... The burden of hate was gone. And that was years ago. To this day, as she continues to do her wicked deeps, I am able to pray with a sincere heart, and be a better step mom to my girls.
And the other instance of forgiveness, is one that manyof us allow to pass by- forgiving ourselves.
Only God can forgive sins, but, if we allow who we were before the Lord, to remain in guilt and shame, it will eat us up. I practiced the occult, and taught MANY MANY MANY on those practices. I sinned greatly before the Lord because I did not know Him or His Word.. I held such disgrace for who I was and what I did, that it weighed down my spiritual walk- not being able to tap in to Who God truly was- Love and Mercy! My Redeemer! I worked so hard on letting go of my past- although I now use it to witness and encourage people where they can go with the Lord.
It seemed Judas was not able to forgive Himself for what he did, and it killed him. He went mad in that guilt. I refused to let a emotion NOT of God hold me back from Him.
So, when I was able to read and realize WHo God is, all-forgiving and He also FORGETS our sins when we confess and move on- then, we can give ourselves fully to Him.
I devote my time, life, energy to Him- to serving Him, praising Him- for all He is, and for all He has done for me, it almost seemes if we cannot forgive, then what He at Calvary would be in vain.
So, truly, forgivess is like you said- giving it to God. And a powerful tool He has given us.
Thank you so very much for this story for it was very uplifting. Because of this story I have a better clarification of the true meaning of forgiveness. Up until reading your story, I never thought of forgiveness as dismissing our pain and wrongs caused by others to deal with it.
Finally, I have often wondered why even after forgiving someone, the pain and suffering caused by their wrongs did not immediately dissipate. Thank you so very much for sharing yourn story and insight.
Kimmberli Robinson
I know it is hard brothers and sister but don't be self-centered, think of others instead~~~~Here are some power verses:
1 Corinthians 10:24, "Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others."
Romans 15:2-3, "Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For even Christ did not please himself."
This is a really important topic and I think many family/society/world problems would be solved if Christians took Jesus' command to forgive 70x7 seriously. There is a really good free ebook about this called "Why Forgive?" If you have read it, please comment! If you haven't, please take a look, it is full of real-life stories of forgiveness.

The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber
by Ernest Hemingway
The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber Courage Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #7
Macomber opened the breech of his rifle and saw had metal-cased bullets, shut the bolt and put the rifle on safety. He saw his hand was trembling. (2.63)
Guns and shaky hands? Not a pretty combination, folks. It's the moment he has been waiting for, but the signs are not good. Never mind aiming. Will he even be able to pull the trigger?
Quote #8
He only knew his hands were shaking and as he walked away from the car it was almost impossible for him to make his legs move. They were stiff in the thighs, but he could feel the muscles fluttering. He raised the rifle, sighted on the junction of the lion's head and shoulders and pulled the trigger. (2.75)
Macomber has this thing about the car. He feels safe in it. On his own two feet he becomes a quivering mess, because he has no steel cage to protect him. His body is rebelling against his ego.
Quote #9
"I don't want to go in there," said Macomber. It was out before he knew he'd said it.
"Neither do I," said Wilson very cheerily. "Really no choice though." Then, as an afterthought, he glanced at Macomber and saw suddenly how he was trembling and the pitiful look on his face. (2.106-107)
Macomber admits what no real man would: he is afraid. Of course he wouldn't want to go face the lion, but that's what you must do when you're hunting. Isn't that what courage is? Facing your fears and pushing through them?

Cast Your Vote.
Super Yorkman
Ned VS Bill? Sheyeah right. If I can catch him, I can beat him.
Countermonky Team Y VS Countermonkey Team M? Hmmmmmm...
theres actually a few more battles left left. and then theres more after that to eliminate the winners of the first battles.
sorry you dont like it anonymous.
me thinks you should keep voting and commenting.
Man, I think this comes down to pure fanboy "who do you love" kinda choices. Gotta go with Batman!
Without a doubt I have to go with Batman.
This was actually kind of a rough choice after I gave it a thought. I thought Batman's martial arts mastery might be the winning blow but Cap has had planty of training plus has an added bonus of super soldier serum. So, it came down to weapons and Batman's utility belt trumps Cap's shield. Anti-shield bat repellant anyone? I could make stupid jokes like that all day but you know Bruce has got that.
My verification was copfl...hmmm.

by MARC KOVAC | CAPITAL BUREAU CHIEF
Columbus — Former Attorney General Marc Dann, who resigned from office following a scandal and was later convicted on related charges, will lose his law license for six months, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled Nov. 20.
In a unanimous decision, the state's high court sided with a grievance board recommendation, noting that "two aggravating factors — Dann's prior discipline and his position as the state's attorney general at the time he committed his current misconduct — weigh in favor of a more severe sanction."
The suspension takes effect immediately, though Dann has 10 days to file a motion for reconsideration, said Bret Crow, court spokesman.
A partner at Dann's law firm issued a statement shortly after the decision was announced, saying the group was "saddened that the Supreme Court has chosen to suspend our partner" but respected the decision. Dann's name will be removed from the firm's name during the suspension.
"We have been upfront with all of our clients about the possibility of such a decision; disclosing the pending complaint in our client agreements and providing email, letter and blog updates on the matter," Michael Harshman said. "We are confident in our ability to continue to successfully represent our clients."
Dann resigned in May of 2008 after two women working in the attorney general's office made sexual harassment allegations against one of his hand-picked managers.
The situation and subsequent investigation led to the firing of two of Dann's aides and the forced resignation of a third. All three also were convicted on criminal charges.
Dann eventually pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges — one for filing a false disclosure form and another for providing improper compensation to state employees, related to funds from his campaign and transition accounts that were used for an apartment Dann and two of his aides shared and other expenses.
Dann was fined $1,000, ordered to complete 500 hours of community service and barred from serving in public office for seven years. He also faced additional sanctions from state disciplinary board that decides penalties for attorneys for wrongdoing.
On the latter, Dann reached an initial agreement with a hearing panel to accept a six-month stayed suspension of his law license, meaning he could continue to practice law. But the disciplinary board instead recommended a six-month license suspension without a stay.
Dann appeared before the Ohio Supreme Court in April, hoping to convince justices that a stayed suspension was more appropriate, given that he had exceeded the number of required community service hours ordered by the court, helping families facing foreclosure.
Additionally, he argued "that his resignation from office, the seven-year disqualification from holding a public office, his acceptance of responsibility, his cooperation in the disciplinary proceedings and evidence of his good character and reputation should be given greater weight."
But justices, in their ruling Nov. 20, said the state's attorney general has a "heightened duty to the public … Dann's criminal and ethical violations reflect poorly on his fitness to practice law and the legal profession as a whole but also cause incalculable harm to the public perception of the attorney general's office and those government agencies, departments and institutions that the attorney general advises and represents."
Justices added in their ruling, "Having considered Dann's conduct, the applicable aggravating and mitigating factors, and the sanctions imposed for comparable misconduct, we find that the board properly weighed the aggravating and mitigating factors present in this case. Therefore, we overrule Dann's objections, concur with the findings of the board, and agree that a six-month actual license suspension is the appropriate sanction for Dann's misconduct."

A new poll released Sunday found that more than half of all Alabamians are in favor of a lottery in the state and they want the proceeds directed to ailing public schools.
The survey was conducted by the University of South Alabama for the Mobile Register newspaper.
Patrick Cotter, a University of Alabama political scientist, said general support for a lottery has been strong in Alabama since the 1980s and even stronger when the proposal is linked to education. He said it's only when a lottery proposal is detailed that it runs into trouble.
Democratic Governor Don Siegelman who is running for a second term, has again raised the idea of starting a lottery to provide money for schools. His 1998 lottery proposal was rejected by voters 54 to 46 percent.

Definition of fingerspelling in English:
A form of sign language in which individual letters are formed by the fingers to spell out words.
Example sentences
- 'Helen may have remembered her awakening to language as a sudden revelation at the garden pump, but Annie Sullivan's diary tells that it took many weeks of fingerspelling on Helen's hands before connections started to be made in her mind'.
- Most researchers have identified British reliance on fingerspelling (rather than a form of signed language as developed in France by Roch-Ambroise-Auguste Bebian) as at least a precursor to oralism.
- Hirsh-Pasek found that deaf children use fingerspelling in the same way hearing children use phonemes, that is, by connecting them to written words.

OAKLAND -- Police Chief Anthony Batts might be sticking around, but only if things begin to dramatically change for his department, he said Thursday.
Batts did not get the police chief job in San Jose for which he had been one of two finalists. He hasn't applied anywhere else, he said, but he refused to commit to Oakland for the long haul unless he sees the city do the same.
"This police department is underfunded and is in need of the very basics to get the job done," Batts said. He had not spoken up until now, he said, because "the decisions were being made by my bosses."
Asking to be quoted as Anthony Batts -- rather than as the chief of police -- Batts said the July layoffs of 80 officers were "a horrendous decision," adding, "The police department cannot be seen as a pariah, with no support, sitting out there by itself."
News broke of his candidacy in San Jose last week, prompting a whirlwind of public concern over the potential departure of perhaps the city's most widely liked government leader.
Acting San Jose police Chief Chris Moore was chosen for the South Bay job despite widespread rumors that City Manager Debra Figone wanted someone from the outside to take over the department, which has been racked by low morale and has been under fire for aggressive tactics and racial profiling. Figone did not comment Thursday on how she made her decision, but Batts praised Moore, whom he called a good friend.
In not hiring Batts, San Jose community activist Raj Jayadev lamented that the city had missed out on "this historic opportunity to dramatically change the relationship between the police and the community that has been defined by mistrust for several years."
As to his future, Batts said in a news release, "I have not made a final decision as to my future with this agency. It still needs to be determined if I am a fit for the city of Oakland's vision for the future." In an interview, he added, "I work my butt off. Unless there's support on all sides, there's no need for me to be here."
The news of Batts' potential exit sparked anger from residents who felt he would be abandoning his work in Oakland. Numerous community and city leaders, however, rushed to his defense, saying the city had not given him enough tools with which to do the job.
In addition to managing a department with malfunctioning police radios, worn-down patrol cars and broken computers, Batts is only working with 656 officers, down almost 20 percent from the force's numbers when he took the job in October 2009.
Attrition has been high as officers retired or transferred to other cities and there are no police academies scheduled to reinforce the ranks.
Batts issued his challenge not just to City Hall, but to the community. He called on his own command staff, as well, saying, "When they laid off the 80 officers, the organization laid down. I'm challenging my command staff to pick it back up."
Though sticking around after word broke he was seeking work elsewhere could create awkwardness, Batts said, his relationship with Mayor Jean Quan "has already gotten better. This has had an impact in a positive way, and opened up honest communications between she and I."
Quan issued a statement Thursday afternoon, saying, "Since I became mayor, Chief Batts and I have talked on a nearly daily basis to work together to protect officer and citizen safety in Oakland. I appreciate his leadership and commitment to community policing and to raising professional standards. I am optimistic that the chief will continue to serve the city."
Community leaders had mixed reactions after hearing Batts was not selected for the San Jose job.
"I'm glad he's not going. I'm glad he did not get the job," said Aeeshah Clottey, director of special programs for the Attitudinal Healing Connection in West Oakland. "As far as I am concerned, he has been working hard and as long as he is doing the job that is good."
John Burris, a civil rights attorney who negotiated a federal settlement with the city and Police Department as a result of the department's Riders brutality case, said having Batts remain in charge can only help the agreement.
"In the short term, it's good for the city that he is here," Burris said. "There are a lot of things he started and this would not have been a good time for a changing of the guard."
But Don Link, leader of the Shattuck Neighborhood Crime Prevention Council, said he does not believe Batts can muster the power to reform a Police Department in need of a strong leader.
"From my point of view, he has lost credibility," Link said. "Anytime somebody is headed toward the door, they are basically gone at that point."
At this point, Link said, he would rather have Batts announce his resignation so the city can begin, again, the search for a new chief.
"It's probably better that it be sooner than later for the city and for the Police Department," Link said. "Most people, at this point, will probably assume that he is a short-timer."
Councilmember Pat Kernighan (Chinatown-Lake Merritt), who leads the public safety committee, said she met with Batts last week "and asked him what we could do that would help convince him to stay."
"He said he's really concerned about the dropping number of police officers, and the antiquated equipment they have to work with," Kernighan said.
As to his possibly staying on the job, "I couldn't be happier," she said. "Oakland needs Tony Batts. "... I think he's one of the few people that has the talents to both run the PD and to help the community and the police bridge some of the gaps of trust that exist in certain neighborhoods."
Council President Larry Reid said he has received more than 100 calls from members of the community asking him to do whatever it takes to persuade Batts to stay.
"The residents of the city would welcome him back with open arms," Reid said. But when it comes to the department's needs, Reid said, "we need to hear it from him. He's there every day, and he understands the issues, and those issues need to be communicated to those of us on the council. Then we've got to figure out a way and make the tough decisions, to find resources for them to do their job."
The news of Batts' candidacy also saw some officers admit they felt he hadn't supported them enough. It helped that he came out swinging for them in Thursday's announcement, but it could remain awkward to lead a team that knows he was considering leaving.
"It's kind of awkward, but it's kind of not," said Dom Arotzarena, president of the Oakland Police Officers Association. "Guys apply for jobs all the time. His job's just a little more high-profile. The bottom line is: He's a professional. He's got a job to do and he's going to do his job."
That said, "I think he truly has to make up with some people, and tell the membership that his heart is in the job," Arotzarena said. "I think he can do that. And like always, we in the union are always ready to sit down and work with him. We want to get this show on the road. Let's fix those radios."

We're still waiting for our moment in the sun with the HTC HD2, but already the previews and early reviews - not to mention our own launch-day hands-on - are keeping our appetites well and truly whetted. Solopalmari have managed to acquire the Windows Mobile 6.5 uber-phone and are currently reviewing the merry heck out of it; among the details there's the first shots and footage from the HD2's 5-megapixel autofocus camera.
This camera marks an upgrade for HTC in the shape of a dual-LED flash, though would-be buyers shouldn't expect the world when it comes to quality. Solopalmari reckon that the HD2's photos are pretty much on a par with other HTC devices; from talking with the company, they certainly recognize that rival phone manufacturers are ahead when it comes to camera performance, but they're slowly hacking away at that difference.
It's entirely possible that a last-minute firmware update could tweak things even further, so we'll hold off on our final judgement until we have a production-ready HD2 in our hands. HTC tell us that they're waiting on the release firmware before sending out review units, so it's likely that whatever Solopalmari were playing with won't be exactly the same as what goes on sale (in Europe at least) later this month. Check out the video sample here [MP4 file]

Twenty Years of PE: Lexington's Nicklas on Keeping it Private
This month, the Private Equity Analyst celebrates two decades of private equity coverage as we prepare for the 20th annual Private Equity Analyst Conference, which begins Sept. 26. As part of that effort, we asked industry veterans to share their reflections on how the asset class has evolved and the challenges that lie ahead.
Continuing our series is Lexington Partners Inc. Managing Partner Brent Nicklas. In nearly two decades of managing secondary and co-investment funds, Lexington has led some of the largest transactions in the industry, including a nearly $2 billion portfolio purchased alongside China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange from the pension fund of General Motors
Q: In your opinion what has been the most influential event/development in your corner of the industry over the past two decades and why?
A: The growth of the secondary and co-investment markets. The development of the secondary market has allowed investors to more actively manage their PE portfolios while attracting new entrants and more capital to PE managers around the world. The co-investment market has increased the flow of direct PE deal capital, while reducing fees for large PE investors.
Q: What do you feel is the biggest challenge that faces the industry in the years ahead?
A: Globalization and regulation.
Q: If there is one thing you could have changed about the industry or event impacting the industry that you could have influenced in the past 20 years, which one would it have been and why?
A: Keeping the "Private" in Private Equity. The rise of public private equity firms, globalization, and the regulation of fundraising has led to a loss of personal contact between general partners and limited partners. Despite attempts at fostering GP-LP communication, such as the Institutional Limited Partners Association, there is a tangible loss of professional camaraderie in the PE market today.

Musée des Beaux Arts
by W.H. Auden
Musée des Beaux Arts Theme of Suffering
Anytime that a poem announce that it's about suffering, chances are…it's about suffering. But Auden makes sure that we know just how embedded suffering is in the other activities that occupy our daily lives. Sure, we read about it on the web – but do we know when it's happening to our next-door neighbors? Painting society with a wide brush allows Auden to draw back and emphasize the ways that pain is everywhere.
Questions About Suffering
- What exactly is the "human position" of suffering? How would you describe it?
- Is Auden's argument essentially that human nature doesn't ever change?
- Who is actually suffering in this poem? How can you tell?
- Is indifference treated as its own form of affliction in this poem? Why or why not?
Chew on This
In claiming that the nature of suffering hasn't changed in over 500 years, Auden seems to suggest that there's no room for humanity to improve itself.
By pointing out that human responses to suffering are as important as the initial event, Auden makes space for people to change.

Somali Pirates Release Russian Ship After Being Paid £350,000 Ransom
Issue 322
Nairobi, Kenya, March 19, 2008 – Somali pirates have released a captured ship captained by a Briton after after a £350,000 ransom was paid by its Russian owners, it emerged today.
The sea bandits seized the Svitzer Korsakov during its maiden voyage last month, taking the skipper, his Irish chief engineer and four Russian crew members hostage.
Operating in Somalia's northern region of Puntland ice-class tug vessel was making its way to eastern Siberia's Pacific coast.
"We have been informed by our intelligence sources that the money was brought by another ship, we don't know what country that ship was from," Ahmed Saed Ow-Nur, Puntland's minister for fisheries and marine resources, said.
The Russian owners of the vessel said in a statement that all crew members were well and unharmed.
It did not mention any ransom and said it would be irresponsible to give details of contacts with the hijackers.
"Any such details provided in the public domain would, we believe, encourage would-be pirates and add further danger to the victims of such attacks," the company, Svitzer, said
Piracy has been rife in the waters off Somalia since warlords toppled military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. But attacks have reached unprecedented levels due to instability onshore as the interim government battles insurgents.
The U.S. State Department calls Somalia the "preferred venue" for pirate attacks in the region.
"We believe the pirates are now hiding in Puntland and our security forces will hunt them down and bring them to justice," Ow-Nur said.
Semi-autonomous Puntland's reputation for relative stability has been marred by a spate of piracy, hijackings and kidnappings - often for ransom.Source: Daily Mail

It appears there's not a whole lot to love about the new romantic fantasy Winter's Tale, released in time for Valentine's Day.
The film, based on the 1983 bestselling book by Mark Helprin, stars Colin Farrell as a charming thief who falls for Jessica Brown Findlay's character, the dying daughter of a media baron.
It's also the directorial debut of Akiva Goldsman, a major screenwriter in Hollywood who has done such films as Cinderella Man and A Beautiful Mind.
CBC's Eli Glasner says he wanted to like Winter's Tale, but it kept "doubling down on the crazy."

Who are we?
Mission Trips to Utah
As God works things, our time in Ogden with you was invaluable, for a number of reasons. One of the biggest was that our son learned a lot about the Mormon faith while we were with you and was able to hold his ground during his time at the University of Utah. He attended CRU and church weekly, as well as a bible study. At the "blue house", he also formed relationships with the group from Arkansas. That was totally a God thing! Z was very lonely in Salt Lake and after his freshman year, started looking at other colleges that are closer to Houston. He ended up at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, just 30 minutes away from the church in Elkins, Arkansas, that he had met during our time in Ogden. They welcomed him with open arms and gave him a place to see friendly faces, while getting used to a new college town. That relationship would not have been possible without Utah Partnership for Christ. So, thank you for all you are doing. You made a huge impact in my son's life and I really appreciate it. It was definitely God's timing that we would end up in the "blue house" at the same time as the Baptist Church from Elkins. Z is very happy in Arkansas and is just completing his sophomore year.

Building RapidMiner Plugin with Netbeans
From Rapid-I-Wiki
This procedure was wirrtten for RapidMiner 4.2. Someone needs to check whether it works for RM5.
RapidMiner needs special entries in the manifest file for plugins. There is an easy (but not so obvious) way to build such a JAR file directly from Netbeans (http://netbeans.org). I assume that the plugin is a standalone Netbeans project with the RapidMiner/YALE jars added as Libraries.
1. In the files view open build.xml
2. Add a new target to the buildfile
The following code might serve as an example:
<target name="-post-jar"> <mkdir dir="${dist.dir}/plugin"/> <jar destfile="${dist.dir}/plugin/ais.jar" basedir="${build.dir}/classes" > <manifest> <attribute name="Built-By" value="${user.name}"/> <attribute name="Implementation-Vendor" value="Leibniz University Hannover, FG SIM"/> <attribute name="Implementation-Title" value="AIS Plugin"/> <attribute name="Implementation-Version" value="0.1"/> <attribute name="Implementation-URL" value="http://www.sim.uni-hannover.de/"/> <attribute name="RapidMiner-Version" value="4.2"/> <attribute name="RapidMiner-Type" value="RapidMiner_Plugin"/> </manifest> </jar> </target>
3. Make sure "Build JAR after compiling is checked in the Project Properties->Build->Packaging
4. Done. After building the project in Netbeans a RapidMiner compatible JAR file can be found in dist/plugin/ which can be directly copied to your RapidMiner's lib/plugin directory (Make sure to not use the .jar file in dist. This has a generic manifest and wil not be recognized as plugin by RapidMiner

The Handmaid's Tale
by Margaret Atwood
The Handmaid's Tale Chapter 46 Summary
- The narrator waits in her room, for what she doesn't know. She feels rather peaceful because at least something is happening, even if it's terrible.
- Night falls.
- The narrator thinks about her options: she could set fire to the house, try to break her unbreakable window, approach the Commander, kill herself, kill Serena Joy, try to walk out authoritatively, go to Nick...
- Mainly she's tired, and none of these seem like good options.
- She looks out the window and imagines the night is winter. She pictures her predecessor swinging by her noose.
- Then she sees a black van coming for her.
- She thinks she should have grabbed some kind of weapon while she had the chance.
- Nick comes to her room. He tells her the van is Mayday and calls her by her real name.
- She doesn't know whether to believe him or not, but she has no choice.
- Two Eyes escort her down the stairs. She passes the Commander and Serena Joy. The Commander is sad but trying to keep away. Serena Joy wants to know what happened.
- The narrator realizes this isn't Serena Joy's punishment; it's something else.
- The Commander asks for a warrant. The narrator realizes this is a pivotal point; if the Eyes are not government, they'd have to leave. But even then she'd still be stuck where she is.
- One of the Eyes says they don't have it with them, but that the narrator has been spying and that they're authorized to take her.
- The Commander, Serena Joy, Rita, and Cora seem furious with the narrator and think she's put them all in some kind of jeopardy.
- The men take the narrator out to the van and she gets in, not knowing whether she's about to be rescued or killed.

To the Lighthouse
by Virginia Woolf
To the Lighthouse Theme of Friendship
Friendship plays a secondary role to love in the novel, but for Lily Briscoe, friendship is the most she has ever truly wanted from a man. The other friendship we see (retrospectively) is between Mr. Ramsay and Mr. Bankes. It failed.
Questions About Friendship
- Why are Lily and William friends only? Could Mrs. Ramsay have persuaded them to become more than that?
- What is William Bankes's attitude towards friendship?
- What is the role of friendship in this novel?
Chew on This
Try on an opinion or two, start a debate, or play the devil's advocate.
Given time, Mrs. Ramsay could have persuaded Lily and William to marry.

What Apple Didn't Do: Buy RIMM, Split Its Stock
For many investors, the biggest news may be what Apple didn't do in its Monday morning dividend-buyback twofer:
1. Apple isn't deploying its massive cash pile for, say, an acquisition of Research in Motion or some other rival (yet, anyway);
2. Apple isn't splitting its stock into bite-sized chunks to put it within reach of smaller investors (or, we can dream, the Dow).
Investors were clearly hoping and praying for Apple to resist the temptation to buy a company, arguing that Apple's culture is too unique to incorporate another, and besides, why would they want to buy another company anyway? That sigh of relief you heard from Apple's shareholder base is surely helping the stock a bit right now, up 1.5% at last glance.
On the stock split, well, it doesn't look like Tim Cook & Co. are in any mood to budge on that front. That in turn may be limiting some of the stock's upside this morning. On the conference call just now, Mr. Cook said the company found little evidence that a stock split would even help the share price — though that's a refrain that we here at MarketBeat have been hearing for some time from investors.
At $600 a share, the company isn't exactly moving into Berkshire Hathaway country (an original A-shares there will set you back about $122,000). But it's also too pricey for the ordinary retail investors who make up the core of Apple's fan base to own more than a small handful of shares. Split each stock into, say, ten and retail investors like Mr. and Mrs. Jones could snap up a few more Apple shares to go along with their shiny new iPads, the thinking goes.
For investors still holding out hope for a stock split, fret not. As our Digits colleagues note: "They will continue to look at it, and if in the best interest of Apple and shareholders, Apple would do it. But not right now."

To Althea, from Prison
by Richard Lovelace
To Althea, from Prison Theme of Freedom and Confinement
"To Althea from Prison?" Yep, plenty of confinement in this poem—but plenty of freedom, too. The speaker doesn't just sit around and bemoan the fact that he's stuck in prison, however. In fact, the poem is really more about how free the speaker is. Free? But he's in prison? True, but one of the major themes of the poem is that true freedom is mental. It's all about how you look at it. The speaker is freer than just about anybody else because his mind—his imagination—is so powerful that nothing can confine it. Not even some gross, English prison!
Questions About Freedom and Confinement
- Is imagination really this powerful? Do you think the speaker might be fooling himself (and us)? Why do you think so?
- What do you think the phrase, "freedom in my love" means?
- Are birds and fish good animals to use in a poem about freedom and confinement?
- Would the speaker be as inspiring if he weren't confined? Why?
- What do you think about when you're stuck somewhere you don't want to be?
Chew on This
Free to be! The human mind is powerful enough to overcome all forms of confinement (prisons of stone and iron). It cannot be imprisoned.
Not so fast there, gang. Confinement is everywhere in this poem, despite the speaker's claims that he is truly free.

Hi ladies I am currently eight weeks pg and can't shake the feeling that it could be twins. I am 36 and have 5 kids all singles so can't help feel this is diffrent! I am suffering a bit from sickness but come the evening time I look like I'm six months. Hungry all the time but can't eat so much food so I start feeling sick again. I do be tired all day to even when I've just got up. I supose what I would like to know what were your symptoms and when did you find out. Thanks

I have never had twins, but I keep waking in the night terrified it might be twins (I'm also 8 weeks) and worrying about paying the childcare fees Its highly unlikely for me to be carrying twins, they dont run in our family (despite my nan saying they do but I think shes confused ) I think its a normal thought though and remember thinking I was carrying twins with my first pg (I wasnt )
It might just be because your symptoms are different from your other pregnancies which is why you feel this way, its its any help, your symptoms are the same as mine (consequently I had the exact same symptoms with my first too) xx

All of our soaps contain the finest essential oils to give each bar a wonderful scent and aromatherapy properties. Examples of these oils include lavender, eucalyptus, cinnamon, and lemon, among others.
Visit the detailed descriptions of each bar in our
for a comprehensive list of essential oils we use and their benefits.
It all started in the summer of 2011. My oldest son Caleb and I went on a mission trip to an impoverished barrio nestled beneath the Andes Mountains in the heart of South America.
That experience broke us.
Shelter was nothing more than small shanties with bare packed-earth floors; walls of wood pallets, corrugated tin, or whatever material was to be found. For water, the slum area had one well; one small well for many people to drink from, bathe in and wash clothes in. Lice and mange were running rampant. To the right are some pictures we took of the children in this slum area.
In North America, for most people, it's not terribly challenging to procure a bar of soap somewhere. In the slums, it's simply not readily available, and if it was, it would not be affordable. I watched a construction worker labor from sun up to sun down, working for a monthly paycheck of $100.00, in an economy where a bar of soap costs as much as it does in the States.
Since traveling to Colombia and meeting these beautiful people, my heart has been pierced with their plight. First and foremost, it is my fervent desire for
lávame clean
to help in every way possible in the spreading of the good news of Jesus Christ to the people of Colombia and abroad. He is our only true hope and salvation, and through Him comes a complete cleansing of the heart and soul. Psalm 51:7 says, "Wash me and I will be whiter than snow."
Another way we want to help those in need is by providing all-natural soap with beneficial ingredients to aid in their protection and cleanliness. You can have all the clean water to wash with, but without the soap, the germs are still there. The soap is essential to fighting disease. So, for every bar of soap you purchase from
lávame clean
, we will donate one bar to impoverished areas locally and globally. To learn more, visit our
soap box
lávame clean
is a family owned and operated business. At designated times, we will make and ship deliveries of our soap to this slum area, local homeless camps, and other impoverished people on your behalf. As our business grows, the opportunities to help will grow with the success.
lávame clean's facebook page
for these scheduled deliveries.
"Láva me" means "Wash Me" in Spanish. In purchasing our soaps, you will help meet the essential need of cleanliness for these cherished lives.
This is our promise. It is our passion.
Along with the essential oils, our soaps are made with only all-natural ingredients including freshly ground oats, cocoa powder, honey and more. Every bar of soap is prepared by hand by our family of five and gently carved into an approximate four and a half ounce block of natural flaws and imperfections. The beauty of nature and her textures is displayed in each individually unique bar.
Nothing in this soap is outside of nature. Guaranteed.

STAROBESHEVE: Rebels in east Ukraine appeared yesterday to have seized swathes of territory from government forces who abandoned vehicles and ammunition as they retreated, while Western intelligence said Russian army units were operating inside the country.
After weeks of successful military operations that have seen government forces push deep into the last rebel bastions, the tide appears to be turning once again in the four-month conflict, prompting a nervous government in Kiev to call on Nato for help.
Witnesses saw no signs of government troops south of the rebel-held city of Donetsk, with road blocks on the entire 100km stretch to the Azov Sea manned by pro-Russian rebels. A volunteer commander posted on Facebook that government forces were surrounded in the key transport hub of Ilovaysk and reinforcements were desperately needed.
Evidence of the deteriorating situation emerged just hours after the first meeting in three months between President Petro Poroshenko and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin which failed to achieve any concrete breakthrough.
There is increasing concern in Kiev over Russia's willingness to intervene directly in the conflict, with the Ukraine government claiming yesterday that a battalion of Russian soldiers had set up a military headquarters near the village of Pobeda, around 50km southeast of Donetsk.
Nato and Polish intelligence also have evidence of regular Russian army units operating in Ukraine, Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk told his parliament yesterday.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the Kremlin was "not interested in breaking up" Ukraine. He confirmed that Russia will send more aid convoys into Ukraine "in the nearest future", despite complaints from Kiev that they were a breach of sovereignty. In the town of Starobesheve, about 30km southeast of Donetsk, there were signs of a hasty departure by Ukraine's army.
