Physical Description
Somniosus microcephalus is a large, sluggish shark that averages between 2 and 4 meters in length. Most of the body is a medium grey or brown in color and sometimes exhibits dark transverse bands or small spots or blotches that are lighter or darker than the base color. The snout is short and rounded, and the body is heavy and cylindrical in shape with small precaudal fins. No spines are present in the two equally-sized dorsal fins, and the ventral lobe of the caudal fin is slightly elongated. No anal fin is present. The skin is quite rough, exhibiting denticles with curved pointed cusps. Teeth in the upper and lower jaws differ in shape; upper teeth are spear-shaped while the lower teeth are shaped with high roots and low bent cusps for slicing.
Range mass: 700 to 1000 kg.
Range length: 40 to 640 cm.
Average length: 244 to 427 cm.

Diagnostic Description
Habitat and Ecology
Maximum size is uncertain, but is at least 640 cm TL, possibly to 730 cm TL, however most adults are between 244 and 427 cm TL (Compagno in prep. a). Aplacental viviparous with one observed female carrying 10 young (Compagno in prep. a). Tagging studies have shown the species to be very slow growing with medium size sharks appearing to grow at a rate of 1 cm per year (Hansen 1957, Castro 1983, Castro et al. 1999).
Although reportedly sluggish, feeds on a variety of prey including invertebrates, fish, seabirds, seals as well as offal (see Compagno in prep. a for more details).

Somniosus microcephalus live mainly on continental and insular shelves. They occupy intertidal regions in addition to some river mouths and shallow bay areas during the winter months and often move to depths from 180 to 550 meters during warmer months. They have been observed as low as 1200 meters, with one observation at 2200 meters off the coast of Georgia - extending its range both geographically and in terms of depth. In northern parts of their range, Greenland sharks are found from 0 to 1200 meters in waters from 1 to 12 degrees Celsius. In southern parts of their range, these sharks may occur at greater depths.

Trophic Strategy
Fish, marine mammals, and carrion are three staples in the diet of Somniosus microcephalus. Fish include herring (Clupeinae), salmon (Salmonidae), smelt (Osmeridae), cod (Gadidae), pollock (Theragra), haddock (Melanogrammus), halibut (Hippoglossus), redfish (Hoplostethus), sculpins (Cottoidei), lumpfish (Cyclopterus), and skates (Rajiformes). Seals (Phocidae) and small whales (Delphinidae) are also common food items. Drowned horses and reindeer have also been found in the stomachs of captured specimens. Somniosus microcephalus has been observed feeding in great numbers on carrion produced by commercial whaling and fishing operations.
Animal Foods: mammals; fish; carrion ; mollusks; aquatic crustaceans; echinoderms; cnidarians
Primary Diet: carnivore (Piscivore )
Many of these sharks have copepod parasites, Ommatokoita elongata, attached to the corneas of their eyes. A single, female copepod will attach itself to one of the corneas, resulting in corneal damage and blindness in one eye. This does not seem to negatively effect the shark, as they do not rely on their vision. It has been suggested that the bioluminescence of these parasites helps lure prey, thus resulting in a mutualistic relationship, but there is no evidence to support this.
Mutualist Species:
- Ommatokoita elongata
There are no known predators of adult Greenland sharks because of their very large size.

Life History and Behavior
Like all sharks, Somniosus microcephalus has a lateral line which aids in the detection of movement in the surrounding waters. Sharks also have especially keen chemical perception. No communication has been observed within the species.
Perception Channels: tactile ; vibrations ; chemical ; electric
Life Cycle
Development in Somniosus microcephalus is ovoviviparous; litters of up to ten pups have been observed. Size of fully grown young at birth has not been confirmed but is thought to be around forty centimeters. Most adults grow to between two and four meters in length.
Life Expectancy
No specific information about the longevity of Somniosus microcephalus exists. Some scientists speculate that these sharks may live in excess of 100 years.
Mating by this species has never been observed, but females have been found with mating scars on their caudal fins. Therefore, it is inferred that, as is the case with most sharks, males bite females until they submit. Fertilization occurs internally.
Mating System: polygynandrous (promiscuous)
Mating has never been observed in this species and little information is available concerning reproduction in Greenland sharks or related species.
Average number of offspring: 10.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; fertilization (Internal ); ovoviviparous
There is no specific information on parental investment in Greenland sharks. However, most sharks are independent immediately after birth. Females provide developing embryos with rich food sources to support their development.
Parental Investment: pre-fertilization (Provisioning, Protecting: Female); pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female)

Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
Unless properly washed or dried, Greenland shark meat is toxic to humans. Like most sharks, Greenland sharks rarely attack unless harassed.
Somniosus microcephalus is commonly fished by people in the Arctic regions (Norway, Iceland, and Greenland) for its liver oil and meat. People of the Inuit tribes have also been known to use its skin to make boots and its teeth as knives.
Positive Impacts: food ; body parts are source of valuable material
Greenland shark
The Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus), also known as the gurry shark or grey shark, or by the Inuit name Eqalussuaq, is a large shark of the family Somniosidae ("sleeper sharks") that is native to the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean around Canada, Greenland, Norway and Iceland. These sharks live farther north than any other shark species. Many of the species' adaptations are due to it being the only truly sub-Arctic species of shark. They are closely related to the Pacific sleeper shark.[2] This species of the shark holds the world record for having the most toxic meat of any shark.[3]
This is one of the largest living species of shark, of dimensions comparable to those of the great white shark. Greenland sharks grow to 6.4 m (21 ft) and 1,000 kg (2,200 lb),[4] and possibly up to 7.3 m (24 ft) and more than 1,400 kg (3,100 lb).[5][6] However, most Greenland sharks observed have been around 2.44–4.8 m (8.0–15.7 ft) long and weigh up to 400 kg (880 lb).[5][6] Males are typically smaller than females. It rivals the Pacific sleeper shark (possibly up to 7 m or 23 ft long) as the largest species in the family Somniosidae. The Greenland shark is a thickset species with a short, rounded snout, small eyes, and very small dorsal and pectoral fins. The gill openings are very small for the species' great size. Coloration can range from pale creamy-gray to blackish-brown and the body is typically uniform in color, though whitish spots or faint dark streaks are occasionally seen on the back.[5]
When feeding on large carcasses, the shark employs a rolling motion of its jaw. The teeth of the upper jaw are very thin and pointed, lacking serrations. These upper jaw teeth, numbering from 48 to 52 teeth, act as anchor while the lower jaw does the cutting. The lower teeth are interlocking and are broad and square, 50 to 52 in count, containing short, smooth cusps that point outward.[5] Teeth in the two halves of the lower jaw are strongly pitched in opposite directions.[7]
Life history[edit]
The Greenland shark is an apex predator mostly eating fish. Recorded fish prey have included smaller sharks, skates, eels, herring, capelin, Arctic char, cod, redfish, sculpins, lumpfish, wolffish and flounders.[5] However, it may also prey on marine mammals such as seals. Bite marks on dead seals at Sable Island, Nova Scotia and Hawarden suggest that this shark may be a major predator for them in the winter months.[8] Rarely, these sharks have been found as far south as the Gulf of Mexico.[9]
Greenland sharks are one of the slowest-swimming sharks, which attain a maximum swimming speed that is about half the maximum swimming speed of a typical seal. Therefore, biologists have wondered how the sharks are able to prey on the seals. Evidence has been found that Greenland sharks search out seals and ambush them while they sleep.[10] Greenland sharks have also been found with remains of polar bear, horses, moose[11] and reindeer (in one case an entire reindeer body) in their stomachs.[5][12] The Greenland shark is also known to be a scavenger but to what extent carrion (almost certainly the origin of the reindeer) figures into the slow-moving fish's stomach contents is unknown. It is known, however, that the species is attracted by the smell of rotting meat in the water. They often congregate in large numbers around fishing operations.[5] The shark is colonized by the parasitic copepod Ommatokoita elongata that eats the shark's corneal tissue. It has been reported that this parasite is bioluminescent and gives the shark a greenish glow around the eye when seen in dark waters but this has not been scientifically supported.[5][13] The shark occupies what tends to be a very deep environment seeking its preferable cold water (−0.6 to 10 °C or 30.9 to 50.0 °F) habitat. It has been observed at a depth of 2,200 m (7,200 ft) by a submersible investigating the wreck of the SS Central America. A specimen video-taped at 2,773 m (9,098 ft) off the coast of Brazil on 11 February 2012 may have been a Greenland shark, but cannot be distinguished in the video from a southern sleeper shark or Pacific sleeper shark.[14] However, a more typical depth for the species is above 1,200 m (3,900 ft). Frequently during the winter, when the sharks look for warmer waters to inhabit, they are often found at or near the surface of the water.[5]
As an ectotherm, the Greenland shark is slow, cruising at 0.76 mph (1.22 km/h) with a top speed of 1.6 mph (2.6 km/h).[15]
One Greenland shark was tagged off Greenland in 1936 and recaptured in 1952. Its measurements suggest that Greenland sharks grow at a rate of 0.5–1 cm (0.2–0.4 in) per year, and thus the largest individuals may live approximately 200 years, making them among the longest-lived vertebrates on Earth.[16][17][18]
As recently as 1957 it was found that the females do not deposit eggs in the bottom ooze, but retain the developing embryos within their bodies so that they are born alive after an undetermined gestation period. 10 pups per litter is normal, each initially measuring some 90 cm (35 in) in length.[19]
Greenland sharks as food[edit]
The flesh of a Greenland shark is poisonous. This is due to the presence of the toxin trimethylamine oxide, which, upon digestion, breaks down into trimethylamine, producing effects similar to extreme drunkenness. Occasionally, sled dogs that end up eating the flesh are unable to stand up due to the neurotoxins. Similar toxic effects occur with the related Pacific sleeper shark, but not in most other shark species, whose meat is often consumed fresh.[20]
However, it can be eaten if it is boiled in several changes of water or dried or fermented for some months to produce Kæstur Hákarl, often Hákarl for short. Traditionally this was done by burying the shark in boreal ground, exposing it to several cycles of freezing and thawing. It is considered a delicacy in Iceland and Greenland[citation needed].
Inuit legends[edit]
The shark is not considered dangerous to humans, though there are Inuit legends of this species attacking kayaks.[21] Although it is likely the very large shark could easily consume a human swimmer, the extremely cold waters it typically inhabits makes the likelihood of attacks on humans very low, and there are no verified cases of predation on people.[5]
The Greenland shark's poisonous flesh has a high urea content, which gave rise to the Inuit legend of Skalugsuak, the first Greenland shark.[22] The legend says that an old woman washed her hair in urine and dried it with a cloth. The cloth blew into the ocean to become Skalugsuak.[23]
The Greenland shark plays a role in cosmologies of the Inuit from the Canadian Eastern Arctic and Greenland. Igloolik Inuit believe that the shark lives within Sedna's urine pot, and consequently its flesh has an urine-like smell, and acts as a helping spirit to shamans.[24]
The Greenland Shark and Elasmobranch Education and Research Group (GEERG) has been studying the Greenland shark in the Saguenay Fjord and St. Lawrence Estuary since 2001. The Greenland shark has repeatedly been documented (captured or washed ashore) in the Saguenay since at least 1888.[23] Accidental captures and strandings have also been recorded in the St. Lawrence Estuary for over a century.
Current research conducted by GEERG involves the study of the behaviour of the Greenland shark by observing it underwater using scuba and video equipment and by placing acoustic and satellite tags (telemetry) on live specimens; however, overall very little is known about this mysterious species.
There is now an argument suggesting that the Greenland shark is responsible for 'Seal Ripping' attacks on grey seals.[25] These attacks cause a corkscrew pattern of cuts and tears which spiral around a seal's body, following the grain of the collagen within the muscles and running at 45 degrees to the seal's body. Seal deaths have been occurring over larger territories, including the north and east coasts of the UK, which suggests that the Greenland shark may be moving beyond its traditional habitat range. However, recent research into the UK "corkscrew" seal deaths by the Sea Mammal Research Unit [26] concluded that the UK seal deaths were unlikely to have been caused by predation from the Greenland shark, rather being caused by blunt mechanical trauma "consistent with the seals being drawn through a ducted propeller" that are found on many ships. Additionally, the shark's slow speed (max speed of 1.6 mph) limits its potential predation of seals to those that are asleep.[15] In August 2013, researchers from Florida State University caught the first documented Greenland shark in the Gulf of Mexico.[27]

Food Habits
Fishing cats are best described as piscivores. Earliest records indicate that fishing cats predominantly feed on fish and shellfish. These early records also state that fishing cats have been known to eat dogs, sheep, and calves. At that time fishing cats were known to have taken human infants (Finn, 1929). In 1987 a fishing cat was observed eating a dead cow, so it is believed that they eat carrion (Haque, 1988). A study examining the food habits of P. viverrinus revealed that that they primarily feed on fish. A frequency analysis showed that out of 144 scats examined, 109 contained fish, 39 contained birds, 31 contained grass, 18 contained insects, 13 contained rodents, and 11 contained a mixture of snakes, lizards, mollusks, rabbits and cows (Haque and Vijayan, 1993).
Animal Foods: birds; mammals; amphibians; reptiles; fish; carrion ; insects; mollusks
Foraging Behavior: stores or caches food
Primary Diet: carnivore (Eats terrestrial vertebrates, Piscivore , Eats non-insect arthropods, Scavenger )

Otherwise, look for diminishing north winds this morning with a lake breeze probable this afternoon but with no significant cooling as area-wide temps should be in the 50s today. Clear skies initially and calm winds should allow for a quick drop in temps this evening before leveling off a bit overnight as mid-high cloudiness increases late. Izzi && .LONG TERM... 306 AM CDT Tuesday through Sunday... In the longer term, first forecast concern is with shortwave trough forecast to traverse the region mid-week. The 00Z GFS and ECMWF are in pretty good agreement in tracking sfc low across our CWA, largely following the I-80 corridor. There is still spread in the models, with NAM farther north (though with little ensemble support), and GEM a bit farther north. If GFS/ECMWF verify then stiff east winds, low cloudiness, and steady rain would likely result in temps holding in the 40s roughly from I-88 northward (though probably a bit warmer near the lake). A fairly large temp gradient is expected near the track of the low, with GFS/ECMWF favoring 60s in our far southern counties. Should the farther north solutions pan out, then highs would be warmer farther north with rain more spotty. Didn`t make any changes to the model blend that we initialize the gridded database with, however, if the GFS/ECMWF remain steady with their track then later forecasts would need to sharped up the temp gradient across the CWA cooling highs north and warming them a bit far south. No significant push of cold air in the wake of this system with dry conditions and temps near seasonal norms Thursday. Late in the week we continue to see substantial run-to-run volatility in the medium range models. Earlier runs, particularly of the ECMWF, took shortwave energy5 off the west coast and phased it some with northern stream. Latest run hang the west coast shortwave back and now feature a dominant northern stream shortwave, with resultant sfc much farther north. Assuming this latest trend in the models were to verify, then Friday would likely be a breezy/windy and unseasonably warm day with just a small chance of scattered showers/T-storms along the cold front Friday night. Given the volatility of the models in this time range, opted to just leave the blended model cocktail alone in the grids. Latest guidance would support highs similar to what we saw Sunday (mostly low 70s), followed by a quick chance of sctd convection along a front, then dry conditions the remainder of the weekend with more seasonal temps. Once guidance locks onto a solution, some respectable changes to the forecast we`re putting out this morning are quite possible. Izzi && .AVIATION... For the 06Z TAFs... Main forecast concerns are with MVFR ceilings this morning, and then with a northerly wind for much of the period. Northerly winds this morning will likely vary around due north, but with more prevailing north northeast winds expected later this morning into the afternoon. Upstream cloud cover has shifted overhead with MVFR ceilings scattered around the terminals. Do think MVFR ceilings will be possible early this morning across all the TAF sites, and then with VFR ceilings possibly lingering toward around 12z. Quiet and VFR conditions then expected through the period. Rodriguez && .MARINE... 259 AM CDT Stronger northerly winds still in place early this morning as deep low pressure is situated over southeast Canada and as high pressure builds east from the Northern Plains. This will likely keep winds elevated slightly longer today and have adjusted the forecast to reflect the likelihood of 30 KT persisting for a time today. This will impact the nearshore waters as well, with longer duration of elevated waves today. Did adjust the small craft advisory with these changes, with hazardous conditions for small craft continuing longer today. High pressure will then move across the lake later today into tonight, with speeds diminishing. Next forecast concern still remains with expected low pressure to move across the region by midweek. This still looks to provide a period of gales across the lake during this time. Will need to continue to monitor this period for the potential for these higher winds, and especially as there is some variability with the exact track of the low that could impact highest winds.

Clear Channel apologizes for 'deport' ad
A Clear Channel media executive has issued an apology for a promotional ad that was run on radio station WRNW-FM (97.3) earlier this week that offered: "We'll deport someone to Mexico every Friday," as part of a trip giveaway.
The apology came after Luis Garza, the state director of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), contacted the station because of complaints he said he received from some who heard the ad.
"When we learned about it, we immediately contacted Clear Channel and expressed our concern at the level of insensitivity in making light of the practice of deportations that have been going on and that affect the Latino community," he said.
"It's not a laughing matter to make light of it. The promotion was in bad taste and we asked that it be withdrawn," he said.
After talking with Jeff Tyler, vice president and market manager for Clear Channel Media & Entertainment, Garza said Tyler apologized and agreed to take down the ad.
When contacted Friday, Tyler issued this statement:
"WRNW FM (97.3) apologizes to any listeners and fans we may have offended with the recent flyaway promotion to Mexico that ran on our station. This goes against everything WRNW stands for. Please be assured that we take matters of this nature very seriously, and we removed it from our program as soon as it was brought to out attention. Again, we deeply apologize."
The ad aired Tuesday and Wednesday. It was taken down Wednesday at 4 p.m., Tyler said.
The entire ad on the air said: "We'll deport someone to Mexico every Friday. Kind of. Win a Funjet vacation flyaway, click 97.3 Radio Now Dot Com."
The top 40 pop station is offering the trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico. But on its website, it misspelled Riviera, Rivera.

Only one area congressional campaign remains uncontested at the close of Tuesday's 5 p.m. filing deadline.
Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District is shaping into a cakewalk for incumbent Charlie Dent, who will face no challengers in his reelection campaign.
Having defeated Democrat nominees in his previous five re-election bids Dent, a Republican, will face his first no-contest campaign since taking office in 2005.
His district, which stretches from eastern Harrisburg to the western New Jersey border, including all of Lehigh County and large parts of Berks and Northampton counties, has a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of R+2, indicating a slight-right leaning.
Prior to Dent, it was represented by fellow Republican Pat Toomey from 1999 to 2005.
Dent is running on a campaign that proposes to cut down on government spending and use this to help reduce the national debt.
As a lawmaker, he has voted against the Affordable Care Act and then again to de-fund it, and has been a supporter or military efforts and related spending overseas in Afghanistan.
He has received moderate ratings from various interest groups such as the National Journal.
Primary elections for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will take place May 20.

Discussion in 'Australian Politics' started by pjcrows, Apr 13, 2012.
FFS surely they're not talking about finance and budget's are they
(Log in to remove this ad.)
Pics or it didn't happen.......
Now I'm getting scared.......
Adam Bandt has said he'll release fully costed policies ahead of the next election, so we'll see what comes of that.
As far as I'm aware they seek to expand the mining tax, have a tax bracket of 50% for incomes over $1 million and increase the company tax from 30% to 33% which presumably would broaden the tax base to pay for expanded services, though that may lead to slower economic growth.
There's a broader list of economic measures here:
Our local businesses are already struggling to compete with cheaper imports. Raising their taxes is just plain madness.
There is no 'may' about it. It will slow economic growth, which of course lowers tax revenue. So you end up with little to no net gain in tax revenue, you lower our international competitiveness (which already woeful) and the increased spending ends up being sourced through debt.
Now I am not taking a shot at you but this is why no one takes the Greens seriously on economic matters. It's all pie in the sky bullshit but with very real consequences.
This is patently false. Spending cuts or spending savings that they've supported this term include:
Means testing private healthcare
Not cutting big business taxes
Introduction of community detention rather than central detention for some asylum seekers
You could go through and find a heap of other initiatives but they're just off the top of my head from recent stuff.
As for "very little explanation on how they will pay for it" well again that's patently false. At the last election their tax commitments included:
An increase in corporate tax rate to 33%
A significant increase in the mining tax
A new top marginal tax rate of 50%
Introduction of an estate tax
Family trusts to be taxed as companies
Removal of fringe benefit tax concessions on cars
Taxing foreign currency transactions
These are all measures to pay for what they plan to achieve. You may disagree with some of these things (I know I do) but you can't claim that they haven't suggested increased revenue to pay for their policies.
This is actually a key part in moving from a fringe party to a significant player. They can't any longer get away with just putting up suggestions without saying how they'll pay for it. Now we're seeing a broader more realistic policy target and a more reasonable range of measures to pay for that.
Your point about costings is reasonable and I hope both the Greens and coalition get access to treasury to have their policies properly modelled and costed prior to the next election. I think it's true that the Greens, who were never going to be in a position to put forward a budget, didn't have there policies costed. The far scarier thing though is that the coalition, who were within 1 seat of having the budget in their control, also didn't cost policies.
Reality and the right thing to do, and what SHY believes and wants, are generally separated by a vast distance.
My bad. Should of said good suggestions for paying for them. It's just to me "we will raise taxes to pay for it" isn't an answer due taxes often ending up being revenue neutral or even negative.
The Liberal party did have costings. They we not done through treasury and might well be of questionable accuracy (but then treasury hasn't exactly covered itself in glory in this regard either) but they were done.
I reckon she will. Obviously it is only one persons perception, but she seems to me to personify exactly what the Greens are about these days.
Are you arguing that they should soften their principles?
I think this is an overly simplistic view. Sure raising certain taxes, at certain times, can have a negative affect due to it hurting the economy. However the equation's a lot more complex than what you suggest.
There's no doubt whatsoever that most of those measures would increase revenue. I'm not saying they're automatically good or the benifits outweigh the costs but I struggle to see how you could make an argument that any of them, on their own wouldn't increase revenue. The company tax could definitely hurt the economy but if it's matched with certain write-offs that help some businesses under significant pressures then again it would increase revenue.
The question really isn't whether or not they'll increase revenue but whether they'll provide a net improvement for society. This really depends on how the money is spent.
Come on that's so generous it's not funny. They claimed they had audited costings. It was then revealed that they'd requested the company who did the review explicitly not to audit it. Tony Windsor said that it was a major reason why he didn't back Abbott, because treasury had found at least $7B (and up to $11B) of mistakes with dodgy accounting. There were double counting revenues and spending money out of funds that had been allocated to other projects.
For all intents and purposes this was not a costing exercise. Not only that, they completely misled the public by claiming it had been audited while the company has since been fined for not making it clear it wasn't an audit in any way. The coalition were a seat away from being in government and we would only then have found that their costings were far from accurate. That's deeply worrying. The Greens have said they'll get their policies costed this time and I hope they do because they're now at a situation where they've got to present what they'd do in power rather than merely represent a protest vote over a particular issue.
Have a look at the costings for the MRT or its previous incarnations. Far from convinced that will be revenue positive in the medium or long term. There is a reason big miners support it. Or do you support Ken Henry's view that you could increase the MRT to 70% with no effect on mining investment?
I think your the one overly simplifying by claiming "but I struggle to see how you could make an argument that any of them, on their own wouldn't increase revenue." If you ignore the costs associated with a tax of course it will be revenue positive but that's almost being willfully ignorant.
If only treasury was fined when they make glaring errors...
But I do hope all parties have fully transparent and costed policies come next election. Hopefully they will actually stick with them post election this time.
Treasury only overstated their revenue estimates by $110 billion according to Swan on 774 this morning. Any costing undertaken by them can't be taken seriously
So 3 new taxes, 3 taxes to be raised and 1 removal of a tax benefit. Wow what a economic powerhouse. Big government all the way.
An estate tax? Yeah the public LOVE that. Labor nearly got run out of town for even suggesting that one in WA about 5 years ago.
The question wasn't whether they'd be popular.
The poster suggested that "every economic idea the Greens have suggested involves spending more money while opposing any spending cuts". I was merely pointing out that this isn't true.
You're free to disagree with the Greens policies (I know I do on a number of things) but I was pointing out that the particular criticism was factually incorrect.
I don't agree with Henry on that although I do think the effect of certain tax increases are overstated. For example under George W Bush taxes of all kinds were slashed. Yet this resulted in one of the slowest periods of growth for any president and led to massive deficits. The growth was significantly slower than under Clinton with much higher taxes.
As for the MRRT I think it's incredibly naive to suggest it won't increase income to the government. The big miners realise when they've got away with one in that the income will be far less than under the initial super profits tax. That doesn't mean it won't increase the overall government revenue.
I could see an argument for the business tax causing the economy to slow leading to an overall drop in revenue. I think that depends on a huge number of factors but there's an argument for it.
But taxing high income earners (which the bottom 5 on that list basically are)? History's shown this is economically one of the least damaging ways to increase government revenue. Historically most growth has been driven by middle class spending. The upper classes spend far less as a % of their income and that's why taxing them causes less to be taken out of the economy.
If you did that there wouldn't be an economist left. Probably wouldn't be the worst result
The company wasn't fined for making mistakes in their predictions but for effectively lying about the type of review they carried out.
Agreed on all counts.
Honestly any predictions undertaken by anybody can't be taken seriously. Economic projections are notoriously difficult due to the incredible complexities of the system. I mean almost nobody saw the global financial crisis coming. Whoops!
In my opinion the reason for costings is to ensure parties haven't completely fudged figures by double counting revenue or using seriously low estimates of what various policies will cost. At least we get an independent body to tick off on them and say the numbers are somewhat reasonable and everything adds up. Even that wasn't done on the coalition's costings.
but all those costings are additions. They are spending more and taxing more to make up the short fall.
Sorry I got my responses the wrong way around. These taxes were examples to show that the following comment,
is wrong. You can argue that these explanations are poor but they've provided ways that they plan to raise the funds.
The other comment that I addressed,
is also clearly wrong. They have policies or have supported legislation like means testing the private healthcare rebate, opposing the big-business tax cuts (which was effectively just a spending hand-out measure), suggesting cuts to funding for elite private schools, cutting the deisel fuel rebate. Say what you like about whether they're good or bad but they are spending cuts.
My only comment was that if you're going to disagree with the Greens (and you're more than welcome to) at least disagree with their actual policies as opposed to incorrect assumptions about their policies. Max zero's done that by recognising that his initial comments weren't entirely correct.
Not cutting (or raising) taxes is NOT a spending cut.
As for most economists not supporting Swan not returning the budget to surplus in a hurry? Colebatch and the Keynesian ivory tower dwellers, that is about it.
Do you not recall Bob Brown's alternative economic model, one that didnt involve growth?
The MRT is based on record prices for minerals being maintained. Guess what happens when they come down? Short term it will raise revenue, after that...
There is no such thing as taking less out of the economy. It that money is not being spend then it is being saved (which is then used towards investment). It hurts just as much it's just less obvious.
It's all part of the idea that the government knows how to spend our money better then we do. It fits in very well with the Greens totalitarian leanings (ie we know whats best do what we say).
Richo: why Gillard is doomed and Milne wedged
The ALP would see an epic collapse in support just like when Rudd dropped the ETS, and the Green vote would rise. If Gillard actually did that I wouldn't be surprised if the Greens get within 10% of an ALP that would be lucky to get into the high 20's. Milne would have no real option other then to rip up the deal and cause an election.
I doubt Brown leaving will have any real effect on the current political scene, or on the Greens support. I doubt Gillard and co will experience any great difference having to negotiate with Milne - after all, she is from the moderate faction of her party, as was Brown. Her agenda will be much the same as Browns.
I guess it is possible the Greens might see a small percentage - say, 2 or 3 % - of their support slip away in the immediate future. Brown had a very strong brand, so they might lose some votes without him there. Other Green voters might now reassess the Party under her leadership. But all will be ex-Left Labor voters anyway, so it will not have any effect on 2PP.
I think Milne would have to take the Greens in a very new direction, or badly mis-manage the party, to lose any sizable amount of votes.
Many are wondering what 'the dirt' is on his resignation/retirement. It is possible there is none. Agree or disagree with their beliefs and policy, they are a party with much less of the intrigue, ego, and back stabbing of our major parties. That said, I am a little surprised he didn't retire after the next election; after consolidating their recent wins. Still, doing it this way gives Milne a good 12-16 months to forge her 'brand' before the election.
Your quoting an opinion piece on the Greens and the ALP from The Australian. Seriously, why bother? You might as well just quote the agenda circulated in the Coalitions own party room.
If Gillard was to actually do as the article suggests, she would most likely be branded by the same paper as performing yet another back-flip, as inconsistent, and as incapable of real leadership by sticking to her guns.
News Ltd is just a daily troll on the government. Richo, for reasons only he comprehends, has joined that predictable troll.

Woman accused of hit-and-run on truckFebruary 15,2014Woman accused
of hit-and-run
BENNINGTON A North Bennington woman was charged Monday with a misdemeanor count of leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in property damage, after police said they cited her Jan. 24 because the man driving the truck she allegedly hit called police and stayed on the phone with them until they caught up to her.
Liza LaFountain, 43, of North Bennington, pleaded innocent Monday in Bennington criminal court to the charge. She was released without bail.
In an affidavit, police said they got a call Jan 24 around 8:35 a.m. from a man who said his truck had been hit by a van while he was driving in North Bennington. The man said the crash took place near the intersection of Main and Bank streets after the woman driving the van went through a stop sign without stopping and hit his truck.
The man said the woman driving the van didnt stop so he followed her. He stayed on the phone with police until they were able to stop her.
LaFountain told police she felt a bump but didnt know what it was. She said she hadnt stopped because she was taking her son, who was in the van with her, to school.
Police said LaFountain, who has no criminal record in Vermont, also told them the crash took place in a challenging spot for her because the sun was in her eyes and frost was partially obscuring the windshield.MORE IN This Just InWindsor and Hartford earned the top seeds when the Division III and I football pairings were...

I'm looking for a red wine called House Jam I purchased at The Andersons last fall and winter but they no longer carry it. It was a dark bottle with a red and silver foil label on the front.
This is a great easy to drink red wine. Lovely to experience the taste of the fruit. It's smooth with more sweetness than most reds.

I suppose people need their reasons... I've never loved anyone for wearing the same shoes as I. In fact the sort of shoes I might love somewhere for are things I couldn't wear, but that's a conversation in another direction altogether.
Anyway, I'll go out on a limb and assure you that Uncle Elrik is joking. It'd be so unexpected, though, that I'd get a bigger laugh out of it if it weren't a joke! And I'm never horrified by anyone's choices in their own music (unless somehow that someone is in a position to force it on me. Like a few road trips I recall).

New Art Gallery Opens on Brady St.
With so many art galleries closing around Milwaukee in recently months, in part because of the usual ebb and flow of the art scene but also becuase of the economic downturn, it takes a certain kind of guts to open a new art venue.
But that's what Kaitlin Rathkamp and Joseph Ledger have done with Caggio, An Art Experiment, which had a grand opening Friday night and opened Saturday.
Their gallery has one thing going for it that many upstart galleries do not -- curb appeal. Recently closed galleries such as Paper Boat, Spackle, the Armoury Gallery and White Whale Collective were in the classic kind of locale for galleries without an established commercial base -- tucked away and cheap.
Caggio, on the other hand, is at 918 E. Brady St., just steps from restaurants, bars and boutiques. Rathkamp and Ledger estimate that 650 people attended their opening reception last night, which by Milwaukee standards means they are off to an exceptional start.
The gallery is a graciously sized with a large exhibition space and two smaller rooms, for individual installations and -- perhaps, in the future -- art classes.
For the inaugural show, the photographic work of William Lemke and the paintings of Michael Coates are on view in the main space and Maggie E. Banks has an installation and paintings in one of the smaller rooms. The gallery plans to show mostly Midwestern artists and to change shows about every six weeks.
Rathkamp and Ledger will both keep their jobs -- she as the commercial photographer for Rockwell Automation, he as a sound engineer (he's also a bass player with the band Will Phalen and the Stereo Attics) -- but their schedules run in different shifts. This means one of them is always available to man the new space.
The aesthetic sensibility of the gallery is something the couple wants to "create as it goes," Ledger says.
"This is day one," Ledger said of their first full day of operation.
But, in general, they want to show work that they enjoy personally and that is accessible for a large audience.
The story of how the two -- a couple -- met is quite sweet, too. They met on the street when a crowd was gathering because of the shooting of Johnny Depp's movie "Public Enemies." That chance encounter turned into playing a bit of pooI and drinking some New Castles together before he walked her home. That was just about a year ago.
They got the name for their gallery on a backpacking trip to Brazil. They were hanging out on the beach when a man came running out of the forest saying something urgently in Portuguese. He was saying "waterfall" and encouraging them to come into the forest, where he'd lead them on a hike to a gorgeous waterfall.
They ended up having such a magical day that they named the gallery after their guide.

An independent board should allocate NHS resources to different parts of the country
At the moment "The Department of Health allocates revenue funding to primary care trusts (PCTs) on the basis of the relative needs of their populations and in line with pace of change policy." However the department of Health allocating the NHS' resources means that it is open to political influence. An independent board to allocate resources would prevent this.
You can also add to the debate by leaving your comment at the end of the page.
Would not be political
Dr Hamish Meldrum, chairman of the British Medical Association, suggests that concrete measures such as the creation of a national independent board to oversee the day-to-day operation of the NHS would help depoliticise it.[[http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/jan/21/nhs-constitution-reaction]] This would have a lot of power to control policy through funding and help stop the NHS being a political football. At least the national independent board would take action and help push forward the development and relationships of the NHS.
It would be very difficult to prevent an 'independent board' from being political. If it rejected something the Department of Health wanted then sooner or later it would come under pressure from the department which would make it political. The NHS is such a political subject that independence could never be guaranteed.
Can look at new ways of funding
An independent board would be able to look at new ways of funding the NHS which would help provide for the independence of the NHS much as the licence fee does for the BBC. This independent board would be able to look at possibilities such as social insurance as a serious model for future funding of healthcare. This works in most European countries and is a good way to create a responsible and patient centred health system. More importantly such a system ensures that only those on what can be deemed good wages will pay insurance, those that can't afford to for whatever reason would continue having their healthcare provided by general taxation. This is both progressive and fair and would allow on those in society with the greatest need to be covered through taxation, the majority would pay into insurance schemes and would therefore reduce the pressure on government expenditure.
There is no reason why the NHS should not remain tax funded. There is little problem with the system as it is. If the alternative is to allow people who can't afford insurance free healthcare, why not keep the current system of simply allowing everyone to have free health-care and tax the rich more instead of charging them both taxes and insurance?
It also seems very unlikely that such a comprehensive review would actually occur. The conservative proposals are simply about redistributing the money there is from central government not finding new ways of paying for the NHS.
A guardian of care standards
We need to look at the role that government plays in the NHS and whether it should move towards being the guardian of healthcare, ensuring access for everyone and setting regulation/standards. This would be made possible if the allocation of resources is being overseen by an independent board. The Department of Health would be able to concentrate on improving standards and making sure that the NHS provides the same opportunities for everyone so for example making sure that there is no longer a postcode lottery when it comes to some drugs.
At the same time the money would be targeted towards those areas that need it most. "We're going to introduce a health premium that targets resources on the poorest areas so we banish health inequalities to history. With our plans, the poorer the area, the worse the health outcomes tend to be, so the more money they can get."[[Tory manifesto has records for all, ehealth Europe, 4th Jan 2010, http://www.ehealtheurope.net/news/5513/tory_manifesto_has_records_for_all%5D%5D
The current NHS constitution is a better way of setting out NHS priorities and governance.
On 21 January 2009 Gordon Brown signed the first Constitution for the NHS. This document explains clearly a collection of legal rights, pledges and responsibilities for both patients and staff for the next ten years. The new NHS constitution has great all-round potential. David Pink, chief executive of National Voices, says that "sixty years on from the founding of the NHS, we need a different relationship with our health service, one that makes clear how the NHS will meet the expectations of the patients, the public and its staff". He goes on to explain how it is no longer enough for the government to set the funding and for the patients to be grateful for their treatment but we need a service that "listens and responds to the needs of the people it serves".[[http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/jan/21/nhs-constitution-reaction]] Thus, the NHS constitution provides potential for greater patient-staff service, higher expectations and a modern partnership between the NHS, patients and communities. It also means that much of what would be achieved by an independent board is already being done.
A computer could do it better
Why appoint an independent board to distribute the global NHS budget to local primary care trusts, and at the same time add to admin costs as this would be adding in a layer of bureacracy. Instead a computer that already allocates 80% of the NHS budget, one of the most sophisticated formulas for allocating public money anywhere in the world, could carry out the job just as well and in a much less biased fashion.[[John Appleby, Come off it Dr Cameron, The Guardian, 4th Jan 2010, http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jan/04/cameron-changes-nhs-happened-already%5D%5D
How would we work out when there needs to be changes in funding and it cant be a change throughout the whole NHS. At that point someone needs to come in and make decisions. It would be better that this was an independent board rather than the Department of Health.

Pioneer really want to sell you a turntable, with $350 PLX-500
Pioneer clearly seek to own DJing – and they've now got a pretty solid play for every piece of that landscape. The latest piece: a direct drive turntable with USB connection, ready to play, scratch, or work with control vinyl (and Pioneer's increasingly ubiquitous Rekordbox software). Price: US$350 – affordable enough to appeal to even casual DJs as a set of two.
We got our hands on Pioneer's new SP-16 sampler
Pioneer revealed its Toraiz SP-16 hardware sampler earlier this week, along with the news that analog filters from Dave Smith were baked in. But beyond that, online specs were a bit vague. So we've just gotten to meet up with Pioneer (and Dave) and get close to a prototype unit. Firmware isn't done yet, but we got to learn a lot more – and there's a lot to like.
We talked to Dave Smith about those Pioneer sampler filters
When news leaked last week that synth legend Dave Smith was collaborating with Pioneer, a few eyebrows were raised. Today, it all made sense: Pioneer wanted the sound of Dave Smith Instruments' superb analog filters on their new sampler. Since it's a key selling point, I was curious to know more about those filters.
Pioneer just made the hardware sampler that NI, Akai didn't
For many, many DJs, Pioneer simply owns the DJ booth. The ability to work with Recordbox on the computer, drop a USB stick in a bag, and then just plug into the ubiquitous CDJ is a level of convenience no one else can match. (Seriously, what other gig can you play with something you can fit in your pocket, unless you're a harmonica player or beat poet?) But that raises the question – what can Pioneer do beyond their enormously successful mixers and digital players? The answer: they may now be set to extend that dominance.
Serato DJ's updated hardware support, features explained
Serato has been busy lately. While other DJ tool makers keep talking big headlines (turntables! Stems!), the New Zealand-based DJ software developer has been steadily churning out a whole bunch of updates. And these are largely about adding support for different hardware. Serato is in that sense a bit of a different beast. While Pioneer pushes its standalone hardware in booths, and Native Instruments focuses these days on its integrated hardware/software solutions, Serato is all about providing plug-and-play support for a variety of other tools, and responding to user requests. So, that means little "point" updates from Serato are often …
Pioneer DJ Got Sold So Pioneer Can Focus on Cars, and the DJ Division Can Keep Growing
Spin off those spinning CDJs. Pioneer DJ is now a separate company, sold to an equity firm in New York at the price of roughly US$551 Million. Pioneer Corp in its past form was diversified in the old-fashioned model of Japanese brands. So, yes, it made the mixer and the CD player in your discotheque … but also your car stereo, and iPod docks, and earbuds, and a system for monitoring your cycling activities while you pedal bicycles, and it put its name on all of them. (This is the same country where the Yamaha brand is on both jetskis …
Can a Pioneer Turntable Do What a Technics Turntable Couldn't?
I stand by the plot as far today's announcement that Pioneer is remaking the Technics 1200. This is a straight-up remake, bearing no real direct relevance to the rest of Pioneer's offerings other than name. But as with the KORG MS-20 or the Moog Keith Emerson Modular, just reissuing something from the past already adds a subplot. First, it's worth reconsidering what Panasonic, makers of the Technics turntable, said when they exited the market: We are sure that retailers and consumers will understand that our product range has to reflect the accelerating transformation of the entire audio market from analogue …

text: Mark McNairy, not surprisingly whatsoever, has collaborated with yet another brand. This time around it's with the temperamental Germans over at Adidas, the result being a v technical, v futuristic offering of athletic apparel like sweatpants and rain coats and all that stuff. There's a particularly strong "McNasty 13" track suit in the mix that I wouldn't mind wearing while doing some heavy lounging. Of course, the bread and butter of this shit is the footwear—that's what McNairy and Adidas DO. All of the sneakers here are solid, especially the Jabar's and Rom's with the gold accents, which will look particularly good when lounging on your couch this October.
