Rainbow Fish: Kids Craft Activity to Teach Sharing and Giving
mom • crafts • crafts • kids crafts
We recently tried a rainbow fish activity to help my children learn the concept of giving and passing kindness forward. The activity was based on The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister. Rainbow Fish is very proud to have beautiful shiny scales but soon learns he will only find true happiness by sharing a scale with each of his friends.
Rainbow Fish Craft
I created a coloring craft page you can print out and have your child design. Depending on their age you may want to work on colors or numbers. Then attach four coins to the fish and tell the child they may keep one coin but give the other three coins to a sibling, friend or parent. You could also use holographic stickers, just cut a section and glue it to the fish so the child can peel them off to share. My kids have been passing out stickers to their dad, cousins, neighbors and grandma. This activity can help them see that sharing will make others happy and encourage them to do it in the future. Children are never too young to learn about sharing our talents and blessings with others.
Download the Rainbow Fish PDF by ObSEUSSed.
- You can print blank fish or fish with labels. Cut out, then decorate.
- Tape coins or stickers to the fish and instruct them to share.
- Decorate plastic zip bags like the ocean and put your Rainbow Fish inside.
Sharing in Action
One way kids can give back is to pick out the books they have outgrown and donate them to a local charity. One national charity is Reading Tree. They have drop off bins and will organize and deliver the books to children and schools in need.
According to Reading Tree, 61% of low-income families do not have children's books in their homes. This program helps get books into their hands. If your books are falling apart, they'll recycle them for you so it helps the environment too. Don't let those books collect dust. Share them with others today.
What is your favorite craft project to work on with your kids?

There is no "business as usual" scenario possible for the 2015-2017 Budget period. Over the past 15 years (since the "dotcom bubble" burst in 2000), policymakers have provided increasing amounts of stimulus to support the economy. Now, finally, we are in the endgame, as the Great Unwinding takes place. This presents us all with major challenges: Most executives and investors under […]

What?! Finalist? In two categories?? Naaah….
I believe in the Wheel of Fortune, it goes round and round, you're either on the down ride or you are on the uptake. Not to speak of when you are on the top and that's where I feel as if I am right now. On The Top! Yesterday I discovered that I came in second among the Overall Winners of the Does My Blog Look Good In This with the Flubber photo above and 10 minutes ago I discovered that I'm a finalist in two of the categories of the yearly Food Blog Awards. One is the Rural category where I was a finalist last year as well and the other, and this I find absolutely wonderfully incredibly fantastic, is the Food Blog of the Year category! Can you believe it?! I will never win in either of the categories but it's so incredible to have been selected among all these great food blogs that I am surrounded by! First of all I want to tell you that I am moved and so proud of your nominations, that was honour enough for me, it's quite strange to sit here in the Italian countryside, cooking and writing, and be able to reach out to people in a way that makes them nominate you for an award. It's actually quite incredible I think and especially when I think about it. And in several categories… And then to be one of the five finalists in these categories where I am among really popular and serious food bloggers, that's just too much right now. I think I have to smoke a cigarette actually, these awards will drag me into debauchery… (And if I don't de-grump now, nothing will ever help!)
Anyway, I was going to post a recipe but that will have to wait until tomorrow, I can't concentrate right now. So first of all I suggest you to go to Zorra's blog to see all the other winners of the DMBLGIT and then I suggest you to go and vote for the Food Blog Awards, I obviously hope that you will vote for me but also that you check out all the other categories, I have already voted and I was really happy to find several of my favourites there (just to mention a few of them). The voting is on until Friday the 14th so hurry hurry.

Damn we should all be so lucky a free agent in the NBA 2010...
These guy's are making more money than anybody could've ever dreamed. These contract numbers are off the charts. What the fuck happened to the economic shit hole most Americans have been forced to live in. I doubt Lebron and the boy's will ever have to worry about the value of their house. I give Lebron props when he only signed a three year extension w/his last deal and was instramental in getting D.Wade and Bosh to do the same. Carmelo was in that loop too, but was questioning his own ability at the time so signed a max deal with Denver.
I have lived in Las Vegas for over 25 years, born in Akron Ohio., same hospital as Lebron. When they say you never lose your home town roots I know firsthand what there talk'n about. The day Lebron was drafted by the Cavs it felt like finally Cleveland fans just might get a championship before I die. I'm just lucky I moved to Vegas as long ago as I did cuz I'm not as passionate or as loyal as I once was, unlike family/friends from back home.
When Lebron and the Cavs quit vs. Boston in this year's playoffs I couldn't believe my eyes, I mean wtf, something was going on in that locker room that still has not been addressed. I'm surprised that hasn't been mentioned more. I still want Lebron w/the Cavs and here is how they can do it.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
In a recent presentation, scientists from a large pharmaceutical company summarized studies conducted in their laboratory using the IP-One assay with Gq and Galpha16-coupled receptors.
One of the key findings of the study was the identification, using IP-One, of slow-acting agonist activity not detected by calcium mobilization.
High-throughput screening of this class of compounds may present technological limitations when seeking agonists with the calcium flux, the most commonly used existing HTS method for Gq-protein coupled receptor cell-based functional assays.
Calcium mobilization is a proven and widely used assay. The method can, however, require access to dedicated instrumentation and is limited by its extremely short readout time. These obstacles can increase screening turn-around and can lead to false negatives, particularly when looking for slow-acting agonists. The results presented show evidence of two slow-acting agonists with IP-One, but not with the calcium flux.
This article has shown that with second messengers, all compound classes can be investigated. In addition to the ones cited, this also includes inverse agonists.
A study presented at the Miptec Conference in Basel, Switzerland, late last year showed the characterization of an inverse agonist by using the IP-One Terbium assay. The identification of an inverse agonist effect on a constitutively active receptor is challenging with the calcium mobilization assay. However, due to its terbium cryptate technology, IP-One Tb's properties include high light absorption, sensitivity, enhanced signal-to-noise ratio, low false-positive rate, and full reader compatibility, and these accumulation assays provide efficient sensitivity and assay windows to properly perform a screen in HTS conditions (Figure 4).

FOR MORE THAN THREE WEEKS HUMAN rights activist Randall Robinson, 52, had held court in the cluttered concrete basement of his office in downtown Washington, receiving visitors including the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, actor Danny Glover, rap star KRS-One—and countless TV news crews. Since April 12 he had had no solid food—only water and fruit juice—and had vowed to continue his fast until the U.S. government changed its immigration policy on Haitian refugees.
Though Clinton maintained that Robinson's fast would play no role in determining foreign policy, the White House nevertheless kept a careful eye on Robinson's condition—he was hospitalized briefly for dehydration—and several of Clinton's top advisers communicated with him frequently.
Then last week, on a quiet Sunday morning 27 days into the hunger-strike, Clinton blinked. A drawn and weary Robinson received a call from the President's National Security Adviser, Anthony Lake. When he hung up, he was smiling broadly. "The Administration is changing its policy," Robinson announced. "I can see the finish line." That afternoon Clinton held a press conference to say that the U.S. would no longer send Haitian refugees back automatically but would grant each one an asylum hearing. Though Clinton only went so far as to praise Robinson's "conviction and courage," few doubt his role in the policy switch. "He sounded the alarm of conscience," says Massachusetts senator John Kerry. "It wasn't just anyone on a hunger strike. It was someone who already had great moral authority."
Robinson has earned that authority through more than a decade of tireless opposition to South Africa's apartheid regime. But for the fast, he would have been on his way to Johannesburg to celebrate a new era with his friend Nelson Mandela. In his phone call, Lake offered Robinson a berth with the official U.S. delegation to Pretoria for Mandela's inauguration as South Africa's president, but Robinson was simply too weak. He had dropped 13 pounds and was, according to his doctors, five days away from a danger zone of starvation, when the body begins to consume its own protein, endangering the heart. "I'm not able to go," he said sadly. "I don't have the strength."
Raised in Richmond, Va., under what he once called American apartheid, Robinson was 21 before he ever had a conversation with a white person. His father, Maxie, was a history teacher in an all-black high school, and his mother, Doris, quit teaching to raise Randall, his older brother, Max (who went on to become the country's first black network anchor before dying of AIDS in 1988), and his two sisters. "Early on in life I was taught that an unprincipled life is not worth living," he says.
After 21 months in the Army, Robinson graduated from all-black Virginia Union University in 1967 and went to Harvard Law School with help from the GI Bill. After his 1970 graduation, he became an aide to Michigan representative Charles Diggs Jr. and in 1976 visited Cape Town with a congressional delegation. There, he said, he witnessed firsthand that "black lives simply meant nothing." Nine months later, he founded TransAfrica, a lobbying group for African and Caribbean causes.
In 1984, TransAfrica's Free South Africa campaign began picketing outside the South African embassy in Washington. Robinson was arrested seven times, countless politicians and celebrities joined the fight, and by 1986 public pressure had intensified enough to convince Congress to override President Reagan's veto and impose economic sanctions on South Africa. "When history is written of the struggle for a new South Africa," Sen. Edward Kennedy said several years ago, "Randall Robinson's name will join those of Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela and others who worked so hard to make the dream of freedom a reality."
Robinson's priority for the moment is to regain his strength and settle back in with Hazel, his wife of seven years, a foreign policy adviser to the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, and daughter Khalea, 4. (He also has a daughter, Anike, 22, and a son, Jabari, 19, from a previous marriage to librarian Brenda Randolph.) But he's not exactly taking his victory for granted. "I don't want to get too high," Robinson says. "This is just an intermediate result. Tomorrow is another day."

MARTINSBURG - The Eastern Regional Airport Authority has received a $150,000 grant through the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program that will go toward paying off a loan to buy the so-called Howard property, Rick Wachtel, chairman of the Airport Authority, announced at the authority's meeting Tuesday morning.
The former Howard Enterprises' four-acre parcel is located on Kelly Island Road across from the 157th Army National Guard armory and contains 22 airplane hangars, Airport Authority Chairman Rick Wachtel said during an earlier interview.
The company was a through-the-fence business. "Through the fence" is a term referring to businesses located off airport property, but adjacent to airport property with direct access to airport facilities, like taxiways and runways.
"Through-the-fence properties have access, but no security," Wachtel said earlier. "The FAA has directed all airports to acquire these properties and secure them. And the FAA has made funds available - $150,000 a year - to reimburse expenses."
The Airport Authority got a loan from City National Bank for $350,000 to buy the Howard property. The authority closed on the property in December 2010.
Betty Howard was the owner of the property. She is the widow of Russ Howard, who was the longtime chairman of the Airport Authority.
Additionally, the West Virginia Aeronautics Commission has given the Airport Authority a 10 percent matching grant, or $15,000, to go with the FAA funds.
With these payments, there will be about $30,000 remaining in interest that must be paid before the end of the year. The FAA and WVAC grants cannot be applied to interest on loans to buy property, Wachtel said after the meeting.
When the loan is paid off, this will free up about $43,000 in revenues each year starting next year that the Airport Authority gets in rental fees for the hangars on the property.
That will almost replace the $45,000 the Airport Authority was getting from a joint-use agreement with the National Guard Bureau for the 167th Airlift Wing's use of the airport. The payment accounted for about 20 percent of the authority's annual operating budget.
The National Guard Bureau is the federal agency that handles agreements with civil aviation airports for the use of their facilities by Air National Guard units.
When a five-year joint-use agreement between the Airport Authority and the National Guard Bureau that annually paid the authority $45,000 expired, the Bureau offered a new agreement for $1 a year for five years. After several months of negotiations, the Airport Authority signed the new agreement.
Upon the Airport Authority's request, the Martinsburg City Council and the Berkeley County Council each agreed to contribute $22,500 this fiscal year to make up for the lost joint-use agreement payment.
However, Wachtel said in a telephone interview Thursday that he would like to see the $43,000 used for future through-the-fence acquisitions, which the FAA has strongly urged the Airport Authority to do, adding there are several through-the-fence properties at the Eastern Regional Airport.
"The authority members have not voted to proceed, but I hope they will," Wachtel said. "The FAA is pushing nationwide to secure airports and it's to our benefit to cooperate with the FAA. They fund us tremendously."
He does not envision the Airport Authority not continuing to request the city and the county to contribute $22,500 each.
"Continuing the payments would give us leeway to make through-the-fence acquisitions," Wachtel said.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Exchange-traded funds offer a convenient way to invest in sectors or niches that interest you. If you'd like to add some retail stocks to your portfolio, the PowerShares Dynamic Retail ETF (NYSE: PMR ) could save you a lot of trouble. Instead of trying to figure out which companies will perform best, you can use this ETF to invest in lots of them simultaneously.
The basics
ETFs often sport lower expense ratios than their mutual fund cousins. The PowerShares ETF's expense ratio -- its annual fee -- is 0.63 %. The fund is fairly small, too, so if you're thinking of buying, beware of possibly large spreads between its bid and ask prices. Consider using a limit order if you want to buy in.
This ETF has performed rather well, beating the world market over the past three and five years. As with most investments, of course, we can't expect outstanding performances in every quarter or year. Investors with conviction need to wait for their holdings to deliver.
Why retail?
Retail can be somewhat cyclical, with many retailers suffering during our prolonged economic slump. But others prosper during such times, as many consumer goods purchases can't be put off. (Think, for example, of shampoo, groceries, and school notebooks.) And right now is a promising time, as our economy is showing signs of recovery.
More than a handful of retail companies had strong performances over the past year. Brown Shoe (NYSE: BWS ) surged 104%, despite posting very slow revenue growth in recent years, and a dearth of earnings. Its name may not ring a bell, but it operates more than 1,300 stores under the Famous Footwear and Naturalizer names. Its success was in part due to cost-cutting as well as to the fact that it's a discounter in a belt-tightening environment.
Chico's FAS (NYSE: CHS ) soared 74%. The company was once quite a market darling -- consider that while its 10-year average annual gain is about 7%, its five-year average is 21%. Part of its success is tied to its not discounting as much as some peers. Some investors would like to see its revenues and return on equity grow a little more.
Clothing retailer Ross Stores (Nasdaq: ROST ) gained 14%, occupying a sweet spot on the spectrum between deep discounters (not generally known for quality) and higher-tier chains. Its revenue growth has averaged about 9% annually in recent years and while earnings growth has been slowing, it's still in the double digits. The company's December sales topped expectations.
Other companies didn't do as well last year, but could see their fortunes change in the coming years. Safeway (NYSE: SWY ) , for example, slumped 17%, operating in the tough, low-margin grocery business. The company's longtime CEO is retiring , which adds more uncertainty to its outlook. Safeway has some concerns, such as a hefty debt load and powerful competition, but it's also not in as dire shape as some peers. Some wonder whether it will end up acquired. A plus is its 4% dividend.
The big picture
Demand for retail isn't going away anytime soon. A well-chosen ETF can grant you instant diversification across any industry or group of companies -- and make investing in and profiting from it that much easier.

EAST RUTHERFORD — The Bergen County executive asked state legislators today to ease up restrictions on the use of county employees during emergencies, telling them at a public hearing that her staff could have been deployed at understaffed shelters during Hurricane Sandy.
"I had a week of people off with pay," County Executive Kathleen Donovan said at a hearing held at the Meadowlands Racetrack. "I could have used them if we were able to cross-train them."
For a full week after Hurricane Sandy, the county's administration building, One Bergen County Plaza, was without power, forcing non-essential county employees to stay home as officials worked out of the Mahwah-based OEM headquarters.
Donovan said regulations from the state Civil Service Commission prevent county employees from being deployed for shelter staffing and other activity during emergencies.
"We need Civil Service to change that," she said.
Donovan said that there were staffing issues at Red Cross-run shelters in Bergen County during and after the storm, and that availability of county workers could have alleviated those issues. She commended the work of the Salvation Army, though, calling their response "spectacular."
Donovan suggested that during storms, hospitals not operating at capacity should be required to keep patients who have been displaced from their homes after they have been treated for the duration of the emergency.
She also asked legislators to request the federal government reimburse 90 percent of hurricane's response cost — as opposed to the standard 75 percent — as they did for Louisiana in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
Donovan spoke alongside Bergen County OEM chief Dwane Razzetti. Moonachie Mayor Dennis Vaccaro and Little Ferry Mayor Mauro Raguseo, whose towns were among the hardest-hit in the state, also testified.
Video from today's hearing is available from the state Office of Legislative services.

The Power and the Process: Instructions and the Civil Jury
Elizabeth G. Thornburg
Southern Methodist University - Dedman School of Law
In the Fordham Law Review, Vol. 66, April 1998.
The form of the court's charge to the jury affects power relationships among judge and jury, trial and appellate courts, and plaintiffs and defendants. It also influences the role of the jury and the content of the underlying substantive law. Under current federal law, trial judges have virtually complete discretion in making decision about jury charge format, despite the important implications of that decision. This article demonstrates, by using examples, the ways in which the form of the jury charge can make a difference. It then argues that the general charge should remain the norm. This is true first for political reasons: the general charge best preserves the proper allocation of power between judge and jury and the jury's role as arbiter of community values. Second, the article argues that special verdicts are neither more accurate nor more efficient than general verdicts except under very limited circumstances. Third, the article argues that a change from the general verdict norm would cause an undesirable shift in procedural advantage from plaintiffs to defendants. The article concludes that FRCP 49 should be amended to provide that general verdicts should be used absent exceptional circumstances and to eliminate the current Rule 49(b) option of a general verdict accompanied by interrogatories. The civil jury is a vital and important institution that deserves our protection from "tort reform" -inspired changes; the general verdict best preserves the jury's historic role.

In his latest installment of Celebrities Read Mean Tweets, Jimmy Kimmel gathered Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jennifer Garner, Tom Hanks and other Monuments Men cast members to read messages from their less-than-positive Twitter followings. Insults include calling Clooney a "lumpy faced basterd" and referring to Rob Lowe as "skin cancer." Each star was dealt a blow to their psyche, none more so than Damon, who read a disparaging Tweet from frenemy Kimmel himself.
To see how the Bourne star handled being called a potential Oscar winner for "blowing ass," check out the video below.

Dover's War Memorial stands on the south-eastern side of the Town Hall and in front of Maison Dieu House.
The inscription reads:
"To the Glorious Memory of the People of Dover who gave their lives in the Great Wars 1914-1919, 1939-1945".
The location of the memorial can also be seen in this Wikimapia satellite photo.
There is also a website dedicated to Dover War Memorial which has collated information from a number of sources including the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), the National Archives of the United Kingdom, and Dover library.
Dover in World War Two: 1942 (1) is a ten minute British Ministry of Information film, released by the US Office of War Information, and narrated by the American journalist, Edward R. Murrow.
The whole video can be seen at Dover in World War Two: 1942 or choose one of the other pre-selected entry points:

The Mayor 0:05:49
Dover Town Hall 0:06:25
St Martin's Battery 'Look-A-Like' 0:07:03
Pencester Gardens 0:09:41
In 1942, Dover was in that part of Kent known as 'Hellfire Corner'.

These currently include the following but check the "Statue" tag for later additions:
Vice-Admiral Sir Bertram Home Ramsay - Co-ordinator of Operation Dynamo, the evacuation of predominately British and French troops from Dunkirk between May and June of 1940 (World War II)
Captain Matthew Webb - First recorded English Channel swimmer
Charles Stewart Rolls - Co-founder (with Sir Henry Royce) of Rolls Royce motor cars. Commemorating his non-stop flight across the English Channel and back on June 2nd, 1910.
Louis Bleriot Memorial - Located where Bleriot landed after making the first Channel flight by aeroplane on Sunday 25th July 1909
The statue was designed by Richard Goulden, and after describing the base of Cornish granite upon which it stands, The Dover War Memorial website continues:
The [base] is surmounted by a bronze figure. Cast in several pieces probably by the ancient "lost wax" method, it was welded together, burnished, and fastened to the granite base by a brass dowel locking into the statue. According with the desire of the Council to educate young people, the figure represents Youth in self-sacrificial devotion, spiritually triumphing over bodily suffering and the thorny difficulties of life.

A lightning strike ignited a fire in an attic of a house in Frederick, state fire investigators said overnight.
Shortly before 11 p.m. Friday, firefighters were called to a house in the 2100 block of Garfield Court in Frederick, where a fire was burning through the roof.
It took 30 firefighters about 10 minutes to gain control of the fire and extinguish it.
State Fire Marshal investigators said the fire caused an estimated $40,000 in damages.
A line of severe thunderstorms that moved through Maryland late Friday night brought wind gusts in excess of 60 mph and heavy rain.
There were no injuries reported.

I am running Windows XP Pro, with all the latest updates.. My processor
is a Pentium D (dual core) 2.8GHz with 1G RAM. I have an application
that does pure computation, with no IO at all for long periods. It does
not use much memory either for program or data. I can tell it does not
hit the pagefile cache, because the hard disk stays completely inactive.
When nothing else is happening, the task manager performance meter
shows that the process is getting only 50% of the CPU time, with the
other half going to the system idle process. If I invoke some other
program or activity, it zooms up to 100% until the other activity
settles down. Then back to 50%. Why is that, and is there anything I
can do about it? The program can grind away for hours. It would sure
be nice to be able to use my CPU at peak capacity.

In My Inbox: Threats in the ED & This Emotional Life
January 20, 2010 | 2 Comments
This morning when I booted up my email I found two great things to share. The first is a fantastic blog entry over at Chief Complaint (the Medscape ED Physician's blog). It briefly discusses an encounter with a patient who threatens to kill an ED nurse (among other unpleasant things), and asks the questions: "Is the emergency department a criminal-free zone? Perhaps once an individual crosses the ED entryway, society's laws regarding physical assault and homicidal threats no longer apply?" It's a great read, but as with all Medscape offerings, you must register for the site to access it. Thanks, Kim for the tip!
The other item in my inbox is a link to the new PBS series, This Emotional Life. Apparently it looks at many issues related to our work, such as bullying, resiliency, trauma, etc. I haven't seen it yet, but there is a lot about the series available on their website, including video, specific tools for military families, and an enormous resource database. If anyone's seen it, please let us know what you thought (thanks, Christina and Sally!).

The series "This Emotional Life" is well worth watching. Hosted by a social psychologist,it covers a wide variety of mental health topics. The series skillfully blends scientific research with real-life stories (and even some cameo appearances by celebrities who offer surprisingly wise comments). It is engrossing and well presented. I'm a psychologist, and I liked it so much I bought the DVD!

Modern banking has replaced real economic prosperity with massive levels of debt. Housing affordability reaches multi-decade highs while household incomes retreat to 1990s levels.
from MyBudget360.com:
One of the biggest headlines right now is how the housing market is pulling the entire market up. Housing prices are soaring while the stock market is making record highs. Yet a large portion of the housing run-up is being caused by easy money that has been created by the Federal Reserve. Banks are out-bidding regular home buyers so it is dubious how much of this jump in prices is really helping households. Affordability is up because mortgage rates are incredibly and artificially low. Another bubble is brewing in this economic stew yet this time, it doesn't seem like Americans are feeling all that richer since most of the new access to debt is being given to large banks that are outbidding regular home buyers. In some markets, investors are purchasing 50 percent of all homes. So what use is a low interest rate if investors are going to outbid you? The game is the same this time. Housing is the juice machine once again. Incomes adjusting for inflation are back to levels last seen in 1995 so the easiest way to make Americans feel wealthier is by increasing their access to debt.

The poor joke was then senselessy beat to death with a fish by extreme overuse by stupid kids who are trying to seem cool by saying it, when in fact they are sad pathetic, unimaginative buttfors (What's a buttfor, you might ask?

($18) Inky ruby. Explosively perfumed aromas of blackberry, cassis, violet and black pepper, with a strong note of smoked meat. Sappy and sweet, with deep dark berry preserve flavors, supple texture and slow-building spiciness. The floral and pepper notes linger on the impressively long, juicy finish. This is a superb bargain that behaves like a California syrah costing at least twice as much.

Australia and Malaysia row over politician's deportation
Sydney - Australia said Sunday it would not back down in a row with Malaysia over a politician's detention and deportation on arrival in Kuala Lumpur airport.
"We'll continue to pursue this issue with the Malaysian government," Prime Minister Julia Gillard said.
Senator Nick Xenophon, an outspoken critic of Malaysia's human rights record, had planned to meet opposition figures at the unofficial start of an election campaign.
Foreign Minister Bob Carr said he had spoken to his Malaysian counterpart to register "disappointment" at Saturday's deportation.
"I'm now on a watch list," Xenophon he said. "I don't know how many years or decades it will be before I'm allowed to set foot on Malaysian soil." Xenophon arrived ahead of other members of parliament who had lined up meetings with Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Mohammed Nazri as well as Anwar Ibrahim and other opposition figures.
The visit has been cancelled.
Malaysia's immigration chief said Xenophon was blacklisted for having made slanderous comments tarnishing the country's image.
Gillard was urged to take a stand by Kevin Rudd, a former prime minister and foreign minister.
"Detaining any member of an Australian parliament, in the way in which Senator Xenophon appears to have been detained, is just unacceptable," he said. "We're robust about our democracy and therefore we should be robust in our response to our friends in Kuala Lumpur." Australia last year sealed a free trade deal with Malaysia. Trade was worth 16 billion US dollars in 2011, a 60-per-cent increase on 2010.
More than 250,000 Malaysians have attended universities in Australia, with around 20,000 currently enrolled. More than 500,000 Australians visited Malaysia last year, mostly on holiday.//DPA

Just before the start of the Super Bowl, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly conducted a live 10-minute interview with President Obama.
Topics covered included allegations accusing the Internal Revenue Service of targeting and harassing conservative groups that had applied for tax-exempt status. When pressed on the IRS issue, Obama acknowledged soome "bone-headed decisions," but dismissed O'Reilly's question about whether the controversy signaled a broader problem of "corruption" at a powerful government agency.
O'REILLY: You're saying no corruption?
OBAMA: No.
O'REILLY: None?
OBAMA: There were some -- there were some bone-headed decisions...
O'REILLY: Bone-headed decisions...
OBAMA: -- out of -- out of a local office...
O'REILLY: But no mass corruption?
OBAMA: Not even mass corruption, not even a smidgeon of corruption, I would say.
The full transcript dealing with the IRS issue is here.
Obama's denial prompted outrage from the Thomas More Society, a national public interest group that represents six pro-life groups that were allegedly subject to unusually intense scrutiny by the IRS. Peter Breen, vice president and senior counsel for the group issued the following statement this week:
Thomas More Society has defended six pro-life organizations whose First Amendment rights were trampled upon by the IRS because of the groups' dedication to the sanctity of life.
In May and August of 2013, Thomas More Society produced two memos to the House Committee on Ways and Means, totaling over 500 pages of evidence that the IRS specifically targeted and harassed pro-life and conservative charities, illegally questioning their religious activities and withholding their tax exemptions. Frankly, we are shocked that President Obama would state that there was 'not even a smidgeon of corruption' involved in the IRS scandal. The Obama Administration must stop making excuses to cover up the IRS' illegal activity and instead deal justly with the corruption and scandal that occurred.
On Feb. 5, three GOP lawmakers also published an open letter to the Obama administration asking for an update on the Justice Department's investigation of the IRS.
The letter posed the following question:
If the IRS investigation is 'ongoing,' and there has been no determination as to whether criminal charges will be brought, how does the president know there is no criminality?
Last May, the Treasury Department's Inspector General issued a report that concluded the IRS had used "inappropriate critieria" for scrutinizing the applications of convservative groups, though the report offered no conclusive evidence that political bias was behind the practice..
That same month, amid hearings conducted on the matter by the House Ways and Means Committee, Thomas More Society provided memos detailing the harassment of three different prolife-organizations.
To read the whole memo provided to the House Committee, go here.
In August, Thomas More Society provided a second memo to the House Committee, after other pro-life groups contacted the group about alleged IRS harassment. While the Obama administration had presented high-profile cases in the media as a limited problem originating from one local office, the Society's lawyers argued otherwise.
Despite claims to the contrary, the IRS continues to target and harass pro-life and conservative charities, illegally questioning their religious activities and withholding their tax exemptions. Read the whole statement here.
On Feb. 5, I spoke with Thomas More Society special counsel Sally Wagenmaker, who questioned whether federal investigators had fully addressed the problems experienced by her clients, and expressed her conern that the federal investigation itself had "stalled."
Further, as the IRS develops new proposed regulations for limiting the political activities of Section 501(c)(4) organizations, she argued that regulators should avoid constraining speech rights, and pointed to the Supreme Court's ruling in Federal Election Commission v. Wisconsin Right to Life. In that case, the high court concluded. "Where the First Amendment is implicated, the tie goes to the speaker, not the censor." Any test regarding politically oriented speech thus should "reflect[] our profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open."
Wagenmaker wants the proposed IRS regulations "revamped" to uphold robust speech rights.
