To coincide with the European release of Unreal Tournament III, I gave it a spin to find out whether it's worth your cash. I'm a hardcore console gamer– always was, and always will be. So when Midway announced that Unreal Tournament III was going multi-platform instead of staying PC exclusive, I was one happy camper.
I always thought of Unreal Tournament as one of those games that stayed exclusive to a platform just because of its evolution on the PC, or maybe because the developers just couldn't see that type of fast-paced FPS played with a joypad. If you're new to the series like me, some things will be apparent the first time you pick up a controller. The first thing you will have to get used to is the controls, since they are not mapped very well to the Sixaxis, and some buttons have no purpose, or are just duplicates.
The second thing I noticed is that the single player mode is extremely dull. There are six teams: Ronin, Thundercrash, Krall, Liandri, Iron Gaurd and the Black Legion. You play as a Reaper from team Ronin, and as the title suggests, all teams are competing in Unreal Tournament for the championship title.
Before each mission you are given a briefing, and also the illusion that there is actually an objective for what you are doing, but really you're just playing "kill 'em all". Since Epic and the Unreal Engine were involved, I was expecting a cinematic experience with an intense story, massive explosions, and body parts flying around the screen.
In reality, you're paired up with dumb AI and equally dumb opponents. To be honest, it's like a dumbed-down version of the online play. The story is also as thin as rice paper, and while there are some nice cut-scenes to get you pumped up before each round, when you begin playing it is just a repetitive letdown.
There are no levels, just maps. The same maps in single player are used online as well, and if you are ever bored enough to complete the single player, you won't find anything new online (unless you're playing a user created map).
The single player may be a letdown in nearly every department except one, and that's visually. This is where Epic really shows how they can work their magic with Unreal Engine. Everything has a unique look, whether it's a shiny wall dripping slime or your favourite gun charging up with bio waste, it's all a pleasure to the eyes.
Each team has a different look and there's no surprise that Unreal Engine compliments them all. Every colour and texture has been looked after in this game, and visually it is one of the more impressive-looking games on the market today.
Once you grow bored of the Campaign mode, the online mode is definitely worth the money you paid for this game. Before I went online, I had a look around the options menu and found a nice little feature that enabled me to install the game on my HDD and cut out all the loading times. This was a great help and emphasized what Mark Rein was saying about how he wanted all the perks of the PC version left intact on the console version.
I've always heard that Unreal Tournament is a series with online play that is hard to rival, and once I selected online multiplayer the fun times started to roll. When you begin, you may select and customize your character, then jump straight into the servers.
Be careful, though, because all of the perks of the PC come with the bad. If you jump into any game near full capacity, you're 99% sure to find lag. Not a little lag, but a full-blown 10 second delay, where you won't know who you killed or who killed you.
In other words, it's unplayable. I learned this the hard way, but soon found that the un-ranked games are less full and a good game can always be found there.
Another PC perk, and the best of them all, are the mods. These are user generated content for the game itself, and just like on the PC it's all free with no strings attached. Mods can come in any shape or form, such as weapons, maps, or new perks. They are not limited to what the developer can think of, but what the community wants.
I got around to installing one mod and it's as easy as pie. All you need is a memory stick and two minutes of your time. If you can't be bothered to do it, that's no problem either– if you join a game using mods you will automatically download them to keep.
And some mods can really elevate the game to another level, with new third person camera angles (an over the shoulder Gears of War look) and new game modes – some of which you wish were in the game from the outset.
There is also the use of keyboard and mouse, if you wish to call that a mod. It's just plug-and-play, but after using it I still prefer the Sixaxis, mainly because it's not very practical stretching the USB cables and trying to get comfy in the couch. I didn't want to sit directly in front of my 32" LCD and burn my eyes out of their sockets, but for some players, keyboard and mouse support is a godsend, especially if you buy yourself a wireless bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
So far my online experiences have been nothing but great, but I have noticed a few things as I've continued playing. Apart from the lag in ranked games, which can make the game unplayable, there is as yet no voice chat. This can be a killer to anyone starting a clan or just looking to find online friends to play regularly with. A ranking system would be a god send as well.
A combination of great online play and a ranking system kept me coming back again and again in Call of Duty 4, and Unreal Tournament III has the online play factor but a ranking system would really help with the whole "I need to get just one more rank" factor of the game.
Unleashing the game on consoles for the first time meant UT3 had two roads it could go down. It could change completely for new fans and adapt to the console life, or stick to its roots and keep all the older fans while making some new ones.
So does Unreal Tournament III make the cut? Yes, since the fact that this game has so much going for it in the multiplayer department makes it easy to overlook the lag and poor single campaign, which in all honesty could have been dropped. I played this game religiously online and loved the visuals. It also shows what consoles can do if the developers put their minds to it, with lots of mods and no load times. Forget the campaign mode and get online!

Multitasking was introduced to the iPhone in iOS 4. Since then, Apple has made more APIs available to developers that make applications more functional. However, the actual UI has literally not been touched since then. Frankly, it shows – while Android and even Windows 8 enjoy streamlined ways to switch in and out of applications, iOS' multitasking has become cumbersome to use in comparison. Auxo, a clever jailbreak tweak, hopes to change that.
The jailbreak tweak originated out of The Verge's forums in concept form. The concept, designed by Sentry_NC, was met with almost universal enthusiasm from iOS users. Bent on bringing his idea to fruition, Sentry contacted developers Jack Willis and JamieD360. The team went to work, and we now have the first glance at what their efforts have created.
The tweak's most obvious change is that it shows a preview of the app, alongside an icon, in the switcher. Compared to stock iOS' default behavior of only showing an icon, Auxo's implementation seems both more informative and useful.
The music controls have also seen a major upgrade in functionality – album art is shown, instead of just the song name, and the ability to change the volume from the same slide is activated by swiping. Again, Auxo's implementation seems to be superior without adding an undue amount of complexity.
Finally, Auxo adds various toggle controls that are accessible to users by swiping to the right. Similar to other jailbreak tweaks such as the classic SBSettings, Auxo's implementation allows for quick and easy access to settings such as WiFi, 3G, and the orientation lock. Unlike other implementations, Auxo is visually pleasing. More options are available by swiping down – again, the expanded functionality doesn't lead to any obvious issues in user experience.
Auxo seems remarkably Apple-esque; it's simple, much more useful, and visually pleasing. It fits in to Apple's existing interface paradigms, and expands upon the stock functionality that has been in iOS since the release of iOS 4.
Even more importantly, this may give people a compelling reason to jailbreak again. Tweaks such as these only serve as a reminder to everyone that Apple still has a way to go with iOS, and that what we have now is far from perfect. With any luck, many of the changes that Auxo brings will be found in iOS 7 – after all, we are long overdue for a great update to iOS' dilapidated multitasking structure.
Auxo will soon be available on Cydia. Jeff Benjamin of iDownloadBlog believes that the price will be "extremely reasonable" from what he has heard from the developers. You'll find his video of the final build running on his device below – understandably, he is quite excited about the prospects of the tweak.

The last 48 hours have been tenuous for Atlanta Braves baseball fans to say the least. Word broke yesterday that the Braves and Chicago Cubs agreed to a deal that would send ace Ryan Dempster to Atlanta for Randall Delgado.
Fans of both franchises were ecstatic with the move. For the Braves, Dempster provided stability to a rotation that has been plagued by a season-ending injury to Brandon Beachy and uneven performances by Tommy Hanson, Randall Delgado, and Mike Minor. The Cubs gained a young pitcher in Delgado who could develop without the added pressure of a pennant race in the back of his mind.
As the day wore on, reports began filtering out that Dempster was not aware of any impending trade and then early today MLBTradeRumors.com reported that Dempster was on the fence about signing any deal because he wanted the Cubs to re-open trade talks with his first choice, the Los Angeles Dodgers.
As a player with 10 years of MLB experience, including five with his current team, Ryan Dempster has the right to veto any trade this season per the Collective Bargaining Agreement. This article will list five reasons why the Braves are better off without Ryan Dempster.

unbelivable if Hock gets four games for that - and I saw the incident happen, then the guy who ran into Bentham and done his knee should be signed high . If anything it was the ginger tosser who moved when hick was running back into the line and there was very little chance of Gaz getting out of the way. If anything, as a poster on the widnes forum correctly says, he should be banned for not running over the idiots head

Aye , just seems to be in him doesn't it . Got sent off not so long ago for giving an in goal ref a gobful didn't he . One incident among to many I'm afraid . I'll be very interested how they handle him in Oz
he will be fine - different style of refs and players who can give as good as they take .

Four matches for something the match ref thought was accidental- compared to five matches for running from the field of play, smacking a player, a steward and a match commisioner. Something wrong somewhere?
The match commissioner deserved it! 😂
Posted 15 May 2013 - 03:15 PM
"Gaz was running across when he bumped into the referee and they alleged he could have changed his line.
"I think Gaz's record has gone against him a little bit.
"There's no malice or intent there and the referee just gets back up and gets on with it.
"It's just a bump in his back but it knocks him off balance.
"The hard part is that they haven't been able to take into account how difficult it was to change direction
"When you watch it on tape the grass looks pretty green and the surface looks okay.
"So you can't actually appreciate how horrible it was on the field.

School district temporarily pulls classics after complaint
Updated 12:48 pm, Thursday, December 1, 2016
ACCOMAC, Va. (AP) — A Virginia school district has temporarily pulled two classic novels from its classrooms after a parent filed a formal complaint over language contained in the books.
A parent of an Accomack County Public Schools student filed the complaint over "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" and "To Kill a Mockingbird" because of their use of racial slurs, local media outlets reported.
The district has temporarily suspended the use of the books while officials examine the issue. A committee that includes a principal, librarian and others will review the books and make a recommendation to the superintendent.
"We have a committee looking at all of this," Accomack Superintendent Chris Holland told the Daily Times of Salisbury. "There's been no recommendation right now," he said.
The newspaper reports that racial slurs appear 219 times in Mark Twain's novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." The newspaper says there are 48 racial slurs in Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird."
WAVY-TV reports that a parent voiced concerns over the books during a school board meeting earlier this month. Holland tells the TV station that there is no timeline on when a recommendation about the books will be made.

Kemet is the ancient's name for their land. It means "the black land" in contrast to "the red land" of the desert, or deshret. Kemet was divided into two kingdoms, known as Upper and Lower Kemet. The size of Kemet changed quite a bit over its history, but began with the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt (also known as the Delta). The pharaohs were known as the rulers of the Two Kingdoms. While the labelling of "upper" and "lower" might seem counterintuitive, with Upper Kemet in the south and Lower Kemet in the north on modern maps, the terminology derives from the flow of the Nile from the highlands of East Africa (upstream) to the Mediterranean Sea (downstream).
Lower Kemet is to the north and is that part where the Nile Delta drains into the Mediterranean Sea. Upper Kemet is to the south from the Libyan Desert down to just past Abu Simbel.
Upper KemetUpper Kemet was known as Ta Shemau (
It is full of steep cliffs and desert land. Historically, Upper Egypt's land was more isolated from activities to the north. There were a number of differences between Upper and Lower Egyptians in the ancient world. They spoke different dialects, and had different customs, needs and interests.The patron goddess of the Upper Kemet was Nekhbet (thereby, Upper Kemet could be represented by a vulture) and its capital Nekhen (
Lower KemetIt was known as Ta-Mehu (
The landscape is dominated by the Nile delta at Alexandria. The deltal region is well watered, crisscrossed by channels and canals. The climate is milder than the climate in Upper Kemet. Temperatures are less extreme and there is more rainfall in this area. The dialect of the people of Lower Kemet and their customs historically varied from those from Upper Kemet. Even in modern times, Lower Kemet is much more industrialized, and influenced by trade and commerce with the rest of the world. They traded with countries such as Cyprus, Crete, Greece, Syro-Palestine, Punt, and Nubia.
The patron goddess of the Lower Kemet was Wadjet (thereby, Lower Kemet could be represented by a cobra) and its capital city Buto.

A Whitehall woman who was ordered to take down her American flag can keep it up after all.
Julia Lease, 86, received a letter from her landlord yesterday granting her permission to fly the flag from her front porch.
"It's a mixed feeling," Lease said. "I'm glad that my flag is up, but I'm sorry that it had to take this to do it."
Last week, Lease was given notice that the flag was a lease violation and was ordered to take it down. Lease said she's had a flag at her rental town house, part of the Estates at Eden of Whitehall, for 36 years.
Dimitri Hatzifotinos, the lawyer representing Minnesota-based New Life Multi-Family Management, which bought the Estates at Eden of Whitehall — formerly Parklawn Manor — three years ago, said the reversal was "due in part to the media frenzy that this has created."
Read the written statement from New Life Properties
"We are going to allow her to have her flag," Hatzifotinos said, but doing so puts the company
in the position of having to allow any flag, he added.
"Regardless of what animus that might create," he said. "We cannot discriminate against other flags."
New Life, he said, is encouraging Ohio residents to lobby their legislators to enact a state law that protects flying the American flag.
Meanwhile, a Sunday rally planned in response to New Life's action is still scheduled. Organizer Jeremy Deeter, part of Unite Ohio, said the demonstration grows by the hour, and plans now include handing out flags and possibly setting up a lemonade stand to raise money for a flagpole for Lease. Demonstrators will be out in force, he said, and some may be armed.
Lease, busy fielding media calls today, said the letter she received from New Life offered rules for maintaining her flag but also noted that it was in good condition. It stated that the company would begin evaluating requests for displays from other tenants on a case-by-case basis. Finally, it encouraged her to contact her state representative.
Lease said she was still upset by how she was initially told to take down her flag. The notice, wedged into her door, gave no indication where it came from or why. "Please remove flag from your front porch," someone had written on it. "Thank you!"
"It is a mixed message," she said about today's letter, "and again I still say when they bought this place three years ago (they should have) come to me face to face and we'll talk this over. But they didn't come to me. They sneaked up and put a note in my door."

The Onyx Project
Nearly twenty years ago, in connection with my book, Fumbling the Future, I had the good fortune to meet the key players at Xerox PARC who invented personal distributed computing. The experience was a world-class classroom for learning about the challenges of innovation. But learning from others about innovation is never as instructive as innovating yourself. And, for nearly six-and-a-half years now, I've also had the good fortune to have had that opportunity through working with Larry Atlas (and others) on conceptualizing and bringing to the market an entirely new form of video story-telling: a fully browseable NAVworld -- a written, directed and acted world made with our new NAV technology and approach.
This past week we released for sale The Onyx Project which stars Academy Award nominee David Strathairn as Colonel Robert Henderson, a man and a military officer stationed in Afghanistan who wants -- no needs -- to tell his story about why, on the eve of the 2004 US presidential election, he launched an illegal, unauthorized and ultimately disastrous mission into Pakistan. As viewers browse their way through Henderson's world, they learn -- they experience -- that Henderson's testimony is not about right versus left. It's about right versus wrong.
In one scene in The Onyx Project, Henderson says about America, "We seek to innovate. But it is tradition that binds us together." In his story about our efforts, New York Times writer Richard Siklos picked up on this line to capture the challenge we've faced in our efforts to bring innovation to story-telling itself. The new video story-telling architecture we've created is one that invites creative people with imagination -- and viewers with imagination -- to experience and explore a new context for taking advantage of tradition -- narrative, plot, character and so on that are written, directed and acted -- while innovating the experience of story telling and story viewing through an architecture that is non-linear instead of linear. (It is non-linearity, by the way, that calls for the use of the word 'world'. NAVworlds are NOT movies -- they don't spoon feed beginnings, middle and ends. Instead, they are browseable worlds that, in turn, are built around plot, narrative, character and story.)
In Fumbling the Future (as in Clayton Christensen's classic, The Innovator's Dilemma) the challenges of innovation unfold in part because established enterprises -- while they have tremendous resources and opportunity -- also face significant and understandable obstacles when confronted by innovations that challenge 'the way we do things around here'. Habits -- of career, of investment decision making, of existing product economics, of skills, of internal culture and more -- array themselves on the opposite side of those who recommend a new product or service that must be made, delivered, sold differently.
There is much more to the challenge of innovation than this of course. Still, time and again over the past six plus years, we've had the chance to see this phenomenon first hand. And it has been fascinating. It's also been the case that, prior to The Onyx Project, our innovation was not yet a 'real thing in the world' -- a fact that understandably made it even more difficult for those (who usually found what we were doing interesting) to, nonetheless, hold off from taking risk.
Now, we are fortunate to have something 'real'. And, in that sense, our journey moves to a new stage. But, as we remind ourselves regularly, it took Xerox 14 years from Chester Carlson's conception of 'dry writing' to the first sale of the Xerox 914 copier.
We're into a new -- and exciting for us - stage of the journey. But, we expect, we still have a lot of road ahead. And there's no doubt that we depend on people -- writers, directors, producers and viewers -- who have the imagination to explore and experience Henderson's NAVworld in The Onyx Project -- both to enjoy it on it's own terms and to get a taste for of what other NAVworlds might be possible with this new form of story-telling.

Growing up in Pendleton, I feel like I was lucky enough to be constantly surrounded by history and people who wanted to preserve it. I rode my streamer decorated bike down brick roads and creek stomped in old parks. We ate slices of Apple pie off vintage china, thumbed through 60-year-old school books from the library and listened to spring storms from a rescued porch swing.
I was in second grade when the town was added to the historic register and I remember it being conversation topic around the dinner table – that dinner table was located inside a historic home on Water Street my mother had spent more than a year restoring.
She slaved over that house, she cried and cooed until all of us kids understood how important it was for her to save the claw foot bathtub covered with rust and mud and the parlor walls that were caving in.
It was that radiating passion, noticeable even from a young age, that encouraged an ongoing appreciation for anything and everything that came before me and managed to survive.
But for all the beautiful things I found myself surrounded by in Pendleton, the first time I remember history being truly rad and seriously cool was in the French Lick area.
When I was younger, before millions of dollars had been dumped into the area and a new casino built, my family used the town as a secret retreat in the winter. It was cheap and just far enough away that it felt like a reclusive hideaway.
We would go skiing during the day, bowl at night and play in the hotel in between.
It was those early adventures in the French Lick Hotel that cemented that fascination with all things old.
On quiet nights, when my mom and stepdad would sit by the fire, I took flashlights and ventured through the dark, run-down hallways alone like an explorer. Outside there were springs covered by little follies, with peeling paint I imagined untouched since 1920. I found faded black-and-white photos of Chicago gangsters, Hollywood starlets and political powerhouses hidden in basements. In the hills, slightly off the beaten path, an abandoned swimming pool became my favorite secret hiding space.
During our week-long stays, I would hide at the bottom of the deep end with the dead leaves and stacks of pick-your-ending Goosebumps books.
Just down the road was West Baden, an even more run down, slightly collapsed historic gem. The beautifully intricate tiled floors were covered in dust, enough that I could use my finger to write my name.
Last week I wrote a column about my recent adventure into the Angel Room at West Baden (click here to read more), a tiny steel drum high above the atrium that's lined with 100-plus-year-old angel paintings by an unknown artist. I explained that to get there I had to face my fears and mount the domed roof with rickety stairs and duct-taped ropes.

Recorder News Staff
FONDA -- Three weeks after losing a bid for a proposed casino off Thruway Exit 27, the Montgomery County Legislature may consider putting its support behind another casino project being proposed in the capital region.
A resolution supporting the casino proposed in Rensselaer will be considered next week, after it was pulled from the agenda at Tuesday's regular board meeting.
"Without hearing form the other competitors I don't feel I have all the facts and I don't find it appropriate to give support to one over the other without hearing presentations from the others," District 4 Legislator Ryan Weitz said.
The decision to pull the resolution was made after hearing a presentation form John Signor, president and CEO of Capital Off-Track Betting, which is partnering with Hard Rock Entertainment and Global Gaming Consulting in proposing a $280 million Hard Rock Hotel and Casino at De Laet's Landing in Rensselaer.
The proposal includes a casino with the off-track-betting outlet, as well as a 100 -room hotel with a indoor/outdoor pool, fitness center and meeting space, a 250-seat restaurant, and a retail outlet.
Signor said OTB has been losing revenues during the past 10 years because of competition. This also impacts Montgomery County, which gains approximately $51,000 in revenue from OTB.
The partnership with the casino, he said, would double the county's revenues to $100,000 a year, depending on the gaming revenues generated, if it is built.
"We were concerned that if we didn't get involved with the casino our business was going to decline even further," he said. "We believe we have the best operator who has the best brand name."
In addition, OTB is partnering with a developer in Rochester to own the land in Rensselaer and provide the casino operator with a ground lease. This would generate an additional $1.5 million in revenues for OTB.
"Because of your relationship with OTB we think we can get you more revenue than any other casino proposal," Signor said.
The casino is expected to make $260 million in annual gaming revenue, which is more than any other casino being proposed in the capital region, Signor said. It is also expected to create 1,638 direct and indirect jobs.
Including the revenues from OTB, Signor said the Hard Rock Casino expects to generate $748,000 for Montgomery County. This would be more than Schoharie County's proposed casino at Howe Caves Resort and Casino in Schoharie County, he said, which would generate $564,000 for Montgomery County.
He added that 1O out of 16 surrounding counties in the capital region have already supported the resolution.
District 8 Legislator Joseph Isabel asked why they need a resolution supporting the Rensselaer site.
Signor replied they wanted to win one of four casino licenses being offered in upstate New York and wanted to show that they had the support.
"We believe if we can get the support from Fulton and Montgomery counties, it would have more weight," he said.
However, Isabel said he does not support the resolution.
"I think it is a little premature being that we just lost our casino," he said.
An application submitted by developer Clairvest Group Inc. to develop a 512-acre site in the town of Florida and the city of Amsterdam was disqualified earlier this month because it was incomplete.
District 6 Legislator John Duchessi disagreed with Isabel.
"This resolution makes sense because we are protecting an already existing stream of revenue to the county," he said. "We seem to benefit the most from the casino who generates the most revenue."
However, Weitz said that without hearing from the other competitors, they don't have all the facts.
Montgomery County Executive Matthew Ossenfort said they didn't hear from the other sites but that he would like to reach out to them.
Chairman and District 2 Legislator Thomas Quackenbush said he supports the resolution but is concerned that it would get voted down since not all the legislators were present.
Legislators Martin Kelly, Roy Dimond and Barbara Wheeler were absent.
A special meeting of the full board will take place Sept. 3 at 5 p.m. for the legislature to give other casino operators an opportunity to make a presentation. The resolution supporting the Rensselaer project will be discussed.

Male Masseuse Suing John Travolta Admits He Gave The Wrong Date
The first man to sue John Travolta of sexual battery has admitted he got the date wrong after Travolta's lawyer proved the battery was impossible - because Travolta was in New York, not in L.A. as the accuser claimed.
Now, RadarOnline reports, the man will be altering his suit to an earlier date. "It was a miscalculation," a source told the website. A second source claims the change in dates won't necessarily affect the lawsuit.
"This case will absolutely proceed through depositions and to a trial. The lawsuit can't and won't be thrown out because the date was wrong by the first John Doe, which will ultimately be up to a jury to decide. Both accusers are ready to go public, and aren't afraid of John Travolta, and they will see this through to the end," the source said, referring to a second man suing Travolta.
The plaintiff, identified only as John Doe, claims the Grease star touched his genitals and offered up a sexual proposition after hiring him for a massage. A second plaintiff came forward with similar claims.

Police said they don't believe the robbery was a random crime.

I need to express mail something, but just cannot do it because there is no mailing address other than a PO Box one. Do you know where and how I can obtain a directory for PO boxes in a certain city and state that provides each box number a stree address?
Thanks in advance!
|By Texas137 (Texas137) on Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 11:25 pm: Edit
I don't think you want the street address where the box is. That could be on the other end of town (or even in another city) from where the recipient resides or does business. You cannot get a receipt that way. Try google-searching whoever it is you actually want to send the mail to, or call them up and ask for the street address where they are actually located.

Booth, O'Halloran, O'Connor, McKim, Morris
Dear Richard,
Your article contains errors of fact, incorrect assumptions and - in my view - unnecessarily divisive, personal language. I reckon you should be taken to task for what is not one of your better efforts ...
Having had your spray, you may choose not to read my response. That's fair enough but I won't be 'silenced' either.
From the comfort of your desk, you have attacked the Tasmanian Greens, casting the four of us with dark motive and hollow core without having once spoken to any of us about why we chose the path we did. Reading your article, I'm pretty sure you haven't read the Hansard from Tuesday's debate or the amended Bill either.
As I write, planning is underway for the last of the bulldozers to leave coupes scattered over half a million hectares, for Forest Practices Plans to be dissolved and the Wedge-tail, the Devil, potoroos, bettongs, marsupial mice and velvet worms are safer than they were a week ago. Yes, politics and life are full of uncertainty, but right now, those wild things are safe from plunder and burn. I can't understand why you wouldn't think that in itself was a good thing.
It is not misleading to say that over half a million hectares of high conservation value forest will have legislated protection. It's simply fact.
What you describe as a massive capitulation, an abandonment of environmental ethics, Nick, Tim, Basil and I all saw as country roads ahead of the alternative.
The continued destruction of forest ecosystems we all love, relentless conflict between those who will defend and those who will destroy them, or, a chance for something brighter? A chance to keep over half a million hectares safe while the industry undergoes essential reform. The sawlog quota more than halved and an industry that needs genuine Forest Stewardship Council credentials to have any kind of viable future. What's not to like about that?
I'm genuinely curious, what is your real world alternative Richard?
We thought very long and very hard on our vote. The five of us did. We talked to each other at length about the dilemma we faced. We talked to family, friends, colleagues, associates and party members. We listened to the counsel of our elders. We listened to ourselves, each examining their conscience about what was the right thing to do by Tasmania, by the forests.
We really stewed on it. We examined our conundrum from every possible perspective. It was the most difficult decision, we all agreed, any of us had had to make in our time as MPs.
In the end, four of us resolved that to reject any amendment made by the wreckers upstairs and send it back to its certain death, left us with nothing except forests at risk, more conflict and a stymied economic transition into the 21st Century.
For Nick, Tim, Basil and I, the choice was clear. Kim held a different view and we respect that. We all - all five of us - love those forests and we all want them protected. There are no rights and wrongs here, it's just a difference of approach.
And do you know, I reckon each of the five of us will go back to the earth believing we did what was right by Tasmania.
True, politics can be a grubby business but it's the only game in town if you're motivated by making real any part of a philosophical ideal. Politics is also the art of the possible, it's not an all or nothing contest. We're operating in the real world here. To compromise to get an outcome is to acknowledge that change is a staged process. You have to try to bring people with you to make enduring positive change. At some point you have to get out of the trenches, and sometimes you have to bend a little to make a positive gain, rather than walk away with nothing but your pride intact. That's my view anyway.
With so much lost already, we figured it was worth a shot.
What's the worst thing that can happen if the TFA Act falls over? We all go back to where we were a couple of years ago.
And we'll have the same intractable conflict, the same trench warfare, the same anger on both sides, the same weary populace. What does that achieve for the forests or this great state of ours?
How much forest has actually been saved in the past decade Richard .....? And how much has been lost?
Here we have real chance. I agree there's plenty of uncertainty in the mix. It's not ideal but it's better than business as usual. And if we can, collectively, pull this off, it sure is better than another twenty years watching beauty and wonderment get trashed at massive public expense, financially, physically and emotionally.
Still don't agree? That's ok. I don't really expect you to see that our glass is half full rather than full of dregs.
There are enough of us who are feeling upbeat about the future. I reckon last week was a good week for Tasmania. On Thursday we signed up to the national DisabilityCare full scheme. By 2019, the lives of around 11 000 Tasmanians living with disability, their families and carers will have been transformed for the far, far better than life is for them now.
I am certain you will agree that's a great outcome for our people.
And here's where we will disagree on the positives ... When four of the five Greens MPs voted with Labor to pass the Forests Agreement Bill 2013, there was a seismic shift in the conflict that has poisoned our beautiful state for decades. Environmentalists, industry leaders, unions, Labor, the Tasmanian Greens and - would you believe it - a majority in the Upper House, all prepared to give it a go. A significant and diverse demographic supports us, and yes, plenty of them are green. Plenty.
Living treasures of the environment movement, people like Rob Blakers, Nick Mooney and Todd Walsh, believe the four of us did the right thing in the circumstances that confronted us. Gerard Castles is another one. They recognise that the time for words alone has passed. And there are others, whose names you would recognise, who agree but feel 'silenced' by the vitriol and divisiveness from some who have engaged in the debate since the vote.
You don't agree, but the passage of the TFA Bill and the long process of talking, arguing, negotiating, conceding on both sides ... this new dynamic has great potential to be a healing shift, if we all get behind it.
Surely it's worth a chance, for Tasmania, for the forests?
Just a reminder too, Richard, that the World Heritage nomination of 170,000 hectares was a team effort. It is the direct result of the Signatories process, the fact that the Tasmanian Greens voted through the original TFA Bill in November, as well as the intense discussions with Labor at a state and Federal level by the state and Federal Greens.
And it is 170,000 hectares of iconic, old growth forested land that's being added to the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The pernicious Hall amendment doesn't change that. Check the Act if you don't want to take my word for it.
Finally, on the ideas and vision of the Tasmanian Greens. With respect, you are just wrong. The Greens have been arguing for sustainable economic transition since Christine Milne was a young school teacher from Wesley Vale. But now is the time to deliver it, while we've got the chance. It's happening right now. All around us, right before our eyes ... If only we could all see it.
In the latest round of State Government innovation grants announced this weekend, funds are going to blueberry farmers, honey producers, a free range poultry business, a lettuce grower, a baker and a flower farm among a number of small enterprises to benefit.
In Parliament, the public domain and in Cabinet, the Tasmanian Greens have articulated a vision for a 100% renewable island and driven energy reform that will deliver a Smart Grid for Tasmania.
Here's a good, sophisticated, green vision for the future which I released a fortnight ago:http://www.dpac.tas.gov.au/divisions/climatechange/what_the_government_is_doing/low_carbon_tasmania_issues_paper
We've overseen vital science and policy development on forest carbon, working with State and Federal Labor to ensure the carbon in our forests, including in any TFA reserves is eligible to be traded on global markets. Tasmanians now have a clear picture, for the first time, of how much carbon is stored in their forest estate and our vision is for that carbon to stay exactly where it is ....
We've set out and are implementing a vision for a greener social housing.
We've driven the ban on non-biodegradable plastic bags while ramping up the pressure for a state-based container deposit scheme.
We ensured $16 million in extra funding went into the Parks and Wildlife Service, enabling the gazettal of 78 000 hectares into new reserves and to employ extra rangers to look after our world class reserves.
We directed some of our funding allocation from the sale of TOTE to set free the battery chooks and the suffering sows from their stalls.
There's more but if you've read this far it'll be some kind of miracle so I'll wind up now.
The greening of Tasmania is a continuum ... the story unfolds. No-one has exclusive rights to its telling, and the four Green MPs you heap such derision on tell that story every day in some forum or another.
You should tune in to Parliament some time and listen to Basil talk about the Tarkine. He has moved me to prickling tears more than once. The man is an absolute beauty and green to his cells. This I know to be true. Basil always puts Tasmania first. Always.
Whatever you say Richard, I love the threatened forests and this island so much, that I'm committed to playing whatever role I can to ensuring this works. How about you?
Big love to the girls.
Yours sincerely,

shark cartilage (generic name)
an herbal product - treats Macular degeneration, Psoriasis, Arthritis, Pain, and Cancer
Table of Contents
Top Learning Centers(Recursos en Español)
TraditionWARNING: DISCLAIMER: The below uses are based on tradition, scientific theories, or limited research. They often have not been thoroughly tested in humans, and safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare provider. There may be other proposed uses that are not listed below.
Adults (over 18 years old)
Doses of 0.2 to 2.0 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, taken by mouth in two to three divided doses, have been studied.
80 to 100 grams of ground shark cartilage extract has been taken by mouth daily, divided into two to four doses. Doses of the shark cartilage derivative AE-941 (Neovastat®), available in clinical trials, have ranged from 30 to 240 milliliters per day taken by mouth or 20 milligrams per kilogram taken twice daily. Rectal doses of 15 grams per day or 0.5 to 1.0 grams per kilogram of body weight per day in two to three divided doses (prepared as an enema) have also been studied.
Creams applied to the skin with 5% to 30% shark cartilage are available and have been recommended by some practitioners for the treatment of psoriasis alone or with shark cartilage by mouth, for four to six weeks. Studies have used 5% to 10% preparations applied daily.
Children (under 18 years old)
Shark cartilage is not recommended in children due to a lack of scientific study and a theoretical risk of blocking blood vessel growth. There is one report of a nine year-old child with a brain tumor treated with shark cartilage who died four months later.
SafetyDISCLAIMER: Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.
Allergic reactions to shark cartilage or to any of its ingredients are possible, although there is limited human information in this area. Caution should be used in patients with a sulfur allergy since products may be sulfated.
Side Effects and Warnings
A limited amount of published research suggests that shark cartilage is well tolerated in most people at recommended doses. The most common adverse effects reported are mild-to-moderate stomach upset and nausea. In several studies, patients stopped taking shark cartilage due to gastrointestinal distress, cramping, or bloating. Liver damage and taste alteration has been reported.
Uncommon side effects reported in studies or historically include confusion, decreased muscle strength, decreased sensation, weakness, dizziness, fatigue, increased or decreased blood sugar levels, and low blood pressure. Shark cartilage products may contain high levels of calcium, which may be harmful to patients with kidney disease, abnormal heart rhythms, a tendency to form kidney stones, and those with cancers that raise calcium levels. In theory, due to the blocking of new blood vessel growth, shark cartilage may be harmful in people with heart disease or narrowed blood vessels of the legs (peripheral vascular disease). In theory, wound healing and recovery from surgery or trauma may be reduced.
One case report implicates inhaled shark cartilage dust in an asthma exacerbation and resulting death of a 38 year-old male.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Shark cartilage is not recommended in pregnant or breastfeeding women. Shark cartilage may block the growth of new blood vessels and drugs with similar properties, such as thalidomide, can cause birth defects. There is limited study of shark cartilage in these areas.

More BSA Lunacy
A few months ago I described why the software piracy reports published by the Business Software Alliance aren't worth the paper they're printed on. Today, I learned from SlashDot that the BSA robots are scouring the web in search of copyright infringements -- and they aren't doing a very good job. Here's an excerpt from an email sent by the BSA to a German university:
RE: Unauthorized Distribution of the following copyrighted computer program(s): Microsoft Office
Dear Sir/Madam:
The Business Software Alliance (BSA) has determined that the connection listed below, which appears to be using an Internet account under your control, is operating an FTP server to offer unlicensed copies or is engaged in other unauthorized activities relating to copyrighted computer programs published by the BSA's member companies.
What was located as infringing content:
Filename: /mandrake_current/SRPMS/OpenOffice.org-1.0.1-9mdk.src.rpm
That's right. They found a copy of OpenOffice and assumed that it was Microsoft Office. I guess no one actually bothers to read the threatening emails before they are sent out.

Pitching a Perfect Game While Half-Drunk
In his forthcoming biography, pitcher David Wells admits that he was "half-drunk, and had a raging, skull-rattling hangover" when he pitched his perfect game against Minnesota in 1998. He was partying till 5:00 in the morning, and was scheduled to pitch at 1:00 pm.
Ah, that's nothing. Doc Ellis supposedly pitched a no hitter while tripping on acid.
"I was in Los Angeles, and the team was playing in San Diego , but I didn't know it. I had taken LSD. I thought it was an off-day, that's how come I had it in me. I took the LSD at noon. At 1pm, his girlfriend and trip partner looked at the paper and said, "Dock, you're pitching today!"
"I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria."

Google is Not a Search Company
At Jason Kottke's blog:
With their acquisition of Pyra and new Content-Targeted Advertising offering, it should be apparent that Google is not a search company. What they are exactly is unclear, but their biggest asset is: a highly annotated map of the web.
And here's a Business Week article: Google's search for new ad revenue.
Aiming to expand its advertising network, Google is moving beyond selling sponsored links that appear alongside search results to selling similar links on partner sites, including on the pages of newly acquired Blogger.
And Dave Winer says:
Put it all together, and Google has changed... Google started as a response to bloat and non-weblike-behavior among the search engines. At least that's what we hoped they were. They never actually said. This is what their success is built on, we perceive their love of the Web. Now it becomes clearer, thanks to Martin's comments, that they just want to put ads on our stuff. Why didn't I see that before?

BBFCinsight publication date 28/09/2010
Note: The following text may contain spoilers
RESTREPO is a documentary filmed, over the course of a year, on the front line with a US platoon in one of Afghanistan's most strategically crucial and violent locations. The film was classified '15' for strong language.
The film contains over 50 uses of strong language. These exceed the BBFC's Guidelines at '12A'/'12' where 'the use of strong language (for example, 'fuck') must be infrequent' but are permissible at '15' where the Guidelines state that 'there may be frequent use of strong language'.
The film also contains some moderate violence, including one scene in which a member of the platoon is seen in the distance after he has been shot and killed during a heavy rain of gunfire. However, there is no sight of injury and his comrades move quickly to cover the body as a mark of respect. Additionally, the film contains a single reference to 'crack', but no drugs are seen or used at all.

A newborn baby abandoned on the street in the battleground Syrian city of Aleppo has been named Gift from God by the family who adopted her, even at the cost of feeding an extra mouth.
In a city that has been devastated by fighting since July last year, where jobs have disappeared and prices for even basic goods have risen beyond reach, parents face impossible choices.
Doctors say the abortion rate has increased, as parents take fright at the prospect of fending for another child. Others send children to live with family members, or abandon them altogether.
Hibat Allah, as she is named in Arabic, was lucky to survive her abandonment in a rebel-held neighbourhood of the city in December.
"She was left in a bag at the entrance to a building. It was 3am, she was crying, and no one had cut her umbilical cord," said adoptive mother Umm Moawiya, a hairdresser turned volunteer nurse. "She was lucky. In 12 hours, she was seen by 20 doctors in five hospitals.
"She was blue in the face and needed oxygen, but hospitals in [rebel-held] areas did not have the electricity needed to run the incubator. Eventually I found a hospital in an [army-held] area willing to keep her for two days."
Umm Moawiya looked after the baby, who at just 2kg required special care that could only be provided by a person with medical care experience.
With four children already, Umm Moawiya's husband admits he not did immediately welcome the idea of adopting the baby when his wife brought her home and suggested it.
"But my wife and children insisted," Abu Moawiya said. He went to register Hibat Allah's adoption at one of the religious courts set up by the rebels to administer justice in areas under their control.
"If her parents want to reclaim her, they'll have to go there and petition for her," said the 45-year-old trader, who has spent his whole life in Aleppo.
"God willing, no one will come for her," said his wife.
