Fame and fashion meet

Models help launch the Melbourne Fashion Festival program at the NGV yesterday.

The city was still damply struggling to work when the crowd gathered at the National Gallery of Victoria in St Kilda Road for the program launch of the Melbourne Fashion Festival.
Melbourne might have been under water, a chaos of mud, leaf litter and bemused commuters, but couture goes on. Here was proof of the often underrated resilience and tenacity of the fashion community, a body of people not readily swayed from its purpose by once-in-a-century climatic calamity, though the preceding evening's rains must have presented some issues: whether it was, in fact, possible to team Hunter wellies with something spotty from Easton Pearson, for example.
Further up St Kilda Road, a small crowd had gathered to watch the suddenly spectacular torrent of the Yarra as it eddied in swollen and darkly turbid haste to the bay. Many studied the stream for recognisable flotsam: trees, the cat population of Lilydale, Nessie, Andre Haermeyer and so forth.
Others wondered at the rare spectacle of water lapping above the lower Southbank walkway. All were struck by the noisome fug that wafted up from the turbulent stream, a stink that was somewhere between septic overflow and leafy rot. Which made sense. Back at the gallery, the press corps waited on Premier Steve Bracks, while an NGV staffer plucked plane tree debris from the southern moat with a pool scoop.
Minutes passed. No Premier, but inside there was coffee, six models on spotlit pedestals, ice-cream and Alannah Hill. Little wonder that the Premier was on his way or that Lord Mayor John So was there already. Ice-cream and espresso at 10.45? These were fun people. Half of them would probably be vomiting it all up again by 11.15, mind, perhaps down by the Yarra on the return leg. But in yesterday's flood of water and alarmed guinea pigs swept from the backyards of Clifton Hill, who would know?

Cricket may be under some pressure to work in steamy kitchen sex scenes. More work for Darren Lehmann.
Steve Bracks bustled in just before 11 and the formalities began, the Mayor enthusing over his city's pervasive sense of easy style: "You can smell it in our trendy cafes and eateries." Style, he said, was "etched in every tile of Federation Square". So that's something to look for next time you're there.
The audience swelled with a pride that not even the Mayor's pronunciation of L'Oreal could diminish. And there was more. The Premier took the stage, a man well aware that fashion is simply another word for shopping and that shopping makes this city tick. Last year's festival contributed $25 million to the state economy, he said, and was attended by 170,000 people (which is sort of like a week-long grand final with a lingerie component).
Martin Sheen as President Josiah Bartlet.
He went on. The NGV was wonderful. The Commonwealth Games would be great. This was the fashion capital. He did his best, but there was a vague sense of distraction as Mr Bracks spoke. It would be - had been already - a big day.
Offstage at last, he bolted for the espresso machine, gulped down a heart-starter and then headed to inspect the damage wrought by wild seas at Kerferd Road, a smudge of Alannah Hill's blood-red lipstick still on his right cheek.
How The West Wing was won
People power - always a force to be reckoned with. On Tuesday night at the end of its routinely subterranean airing of The West Wing, Channel Nine announced that the award-wining show - mid-season here in Australia - would not return next week, but would be back on our late-night screens "some time in the future".
Which is to say: "Maybe not in your lifetime, have you thought of hiring the DVDs or watching Starstruck?"
The switchboard was swamped. For those irate people, a loyal audience that for several years has suffered through Nine's cavalier scheduling of some of America's best TV drama, we have good news: The West Wing, starring Martin Sheen, right, will return next Tuesday and see out its season.
This unusual sensitivity to audience sentiment might have something to do with Nine's shaky start in this hectic ratings pre-season. Seven's tennis, Desperate Housewives and Bec Cartwright triumphs have been well documented, and while sport has served its rival well, Nine has been burdened with a one-day cricket series with as much entertainment value as a 1970s Ernie Sigley blooper tape: Wednesday night's Pakistan versus West Indies night session from Perth was outrated by the repeat of the first episode of Desperate Housewives on Seven.
Hopes must be high for the first of tonight's best-of-three finals series from the MCG, or cricket may be under some pressure to work in an even higher than usual number of steamy kitchen sex scenes.
More work for Darren Lehmann.

WASHINGTON—We did not have a very large family group to see the New Year in, but my eldest son and his wife were with us; three friends of theirs; a young cousin, Mr. Joseph W. Alsop, who has been sent by his paper to cover news in Congress; and a half dozen other close friends. At eleven-forty-five, we were sitting in my husband's study, The Oval Room, and we turned on the radio so as to be sure of the exact moment. A traditional New Year's eggnog was passed around. As the clock struck twelve, we all stood up and over the radio floated "Auld Lang Syne," as my husband proposed the first toast which is always: "To The United States." Then followed the New Year's greetings to each other, a telephone call to our daughter in New York. It was one-thirty before we all stopped talking and finally went on our way to bed.
I was particularly struck, in talking with some of the younger men to find their minds running on such serious subjects as what would be the outcome in various European countries of their present situations. On no previous New Year, can I remember hearing history so violently discussed, and social conditions evaluated as to their bearing both at home and abroad. Many shades of political opinion were represented, but the whole trend of conversation strengthened my belief that the thing we all have to be thankful for, as we look back over this past year, is a growing sense of responsibility and social consciousness among all our citizens.
Of neccessity the holidays take on some color from the youthful element in the household. Last evening we certainly divided our interests!
All during this past autumn, our two Harvard boys have been attending a course in sociology given by Professor Zimmerman, and one of them has had as an advisor, Professor Boldyreff. Because the course dealt with questions of our own government, and there were conflicting points of view, the boys were anxious to have these gentlemen come down here, so last night they came.
The subject under discussion being the AAA, Secretary and Mrs. Wallace, and Mr. and Mrs. Chester Davis were also asked, together with a large group of young cousins who had very little interest in these—to them—academic questions of government. I provided a movie for the latter's entertainment and the boys having told me they felt the discussion would be of greater interest if there were not too many people there, I attended the movie with the ladies. The movie did not appeal to me, so I wondered all the time what was going on behind the closed door of the Oval Room. At eleven-thirty, the movie was over and the young people, and Mrs. Wallace and Mrs. Davis, decided to go home. The discussion still went on, so my daughter, Anna, and I went into my sitting room to talk and await the results. In about half an hour everybody except the President, Secretary Wallace and Mr. Davis, burst in upon us. Professor Zimmerman and I almost started the discussion anew, but I came to the conclusion that it was one of those discussions that are more or less profitless. There are so many things which you do not have to consider if you are developing and studying a theory in a classroom. It is useful to deal with theories in developing youthful minds for later they will deal with facts and profit by what they have learned of other men's thoughts, but it is quite different to be faced with actual situations that have to be met in one way or another in a given period of time.

The National Library of Wales claims it is set to lose £1m over the next three years and jobs under the Welsh Assembly Government's draft budget. The library, based in Aberystwyth, receives most of its running costs directly from Cardiff Bay.
It said its purchasing grant, which has been used to buy manuscripts by Dylan Thomas and a self-portrait by Sir Kyffin Williams, would be halved. The assembly government said it valued the national library's work.

Boxing takes the center stage this evening. The HBO PPV is live at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, 9:00 eastern time, when Manny Pacquiao (54-2-2) faces Juan Manuel Marquez (54-6-1). The fighters meet each for the fourth time after 36 epic rounds. Their last meeting on November 12, 2011 ended with a majority decision in favor of Pacquiao.
Many boxing observers believed that Marquez won the fight, despite scorecard totals of 114-114, 115-113 and 116-112. Pacquiao's sluggish performance during the fight was the primary reason he should have lost to Marquez.
The previous two fights ended in a draw and a split decision victory for Pacquiao.
The buildup for Pacquiao-Marquez 4 has centered on the idea of neither fighter being better than his opponent. Pacquiao and Marquez are evenly matched boxers.
Pacquiao, who fights southpaw, uses a strong right hook to put his opponents on the canvas. He mixes in jabs and feint, right hands to set up his power punches. Pacquiao is also active around the ring. Constantly moving his feet, Pacquiao limits the angles his opponents may have at their disposal. This forces them to trade punches, and works right into Pacquiao's advantage.
While Pacquiao has had his way with numerous boxers in the past, he has yet to figure out Marquez.
Marquez is a conventional fighter who relies on jabs and ring generalship. In other words, Marquez always looks to dictate the pace of a fight. His jabs are stifling. The jabs set up Marquez's combinations, which often forces his opposition to retreat. This allows Marquez to cut off the ring and bury his opponents with a flurry of punches.
Both Pacquiao and Marquez are good body punchers and they have strong chins. Their boxing styles are perfect compliments for each other and it makes up for a good action fight.
The world of boxing needs a shot in the arm. With these two fighters squaring off in the Welterweight Division, there is a ton of interest. Although it is not the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather mega-bout that fans have been clamoring for, but Pacquiao-Marquez 4 is a great way to end the 2012 boxing year. With so many contenders for the "Fight of the Year" distinction, Pacquiao-Marquez 4 just may take a claim as one of the year's best bouts.
As they say, styles do make fights.

Thousands of Iranians who believed their votes had been stolen by President Ahmadinejad in the recent election crowded the streets to hear the voice of cleric Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani who was delivering a Friday prayer service. Shouts of "freedom freedom" echoed in the air even as police and the dreaded Basiji thugs patrolled the streets or hurled tear gas as those shouting for freedom. In his sermon which was broadcast nationally Rafsanjani reprimanded the clerical leadership for failing to ensure there was a fair election and also for their brutal attacks on innocent Iranians who simply wanted democracy to be practiced. "Doubt has been created" about the election, he said. "There is a large portion of the wise people who say they have doubts. We need to take action to remove this doubt."
At the core of what Rafsanjani said was "where people are not present or their vote is not considered, that government is not Islamic." He called upon the Guardian Council to seize an "opportunity to unite the people and regain their trust." It is still unclear as to the meaning of the speech. There is no question it represents a challenge to Ayatollah Khamenei and his side kick, Ahmadinejad. There is no doubt only someone of the stature of Rafsanjani could get away with such words. Will the words fall on deaf ears or will there be an intelligent response?

At the second one, I bought just enough of a bright clearance fabric for the back of my baby quilt. At $4 and $5 a yard, the others were tempting, but I did well buying what I went in for.

Once you are back in the classroom, you can follow up your visit to the museum with any number of activities.
Writing exercise: prose, poetry
The students each choose their favourite work and write a short prose piece or poem. Their compositions could then be posted on the school's website.
Classroom museum
Create an exhibition space in the classroom or any other part of the school, using objects chosen and brought in by your students.
Various team projects based on new technologies
You could research a theme, an artist, an artistic period.
Notion of interdisciplinarity
You could develop the notion of interdisciplinarity by placing an artist or work in context. For example, a map-reading exercise could involve locating the different cities where Paul-Émile Borduas lived, then drawing a time line for various periods in his life.
Philosophical questions
To determine the students' perceptions of contemporary art, you could raise more philosophical questions:
- Why do we look at a work of art?
- What purpose does art serve?
- What does it mean to say: it's beautiful, it's ugly?
Looking at other works
You could also look at reproductions of other works and wonder what the differences would be if you were actually in front of them. It can be interesting to talk about the differences between an image and the actual object which, especially in contemporary art, calls for a physical experience. In an installation, for example, there is no single, ideal viewpoint; the viewer must move physically "inside" the work.

One moment of discovery can be a life-changing event. Scientists have their "eurekas," Oprah has her "lightbulbs," and haircolorists have their "ahas." We asked four top tinters to share turning points that changed the way they look at color.
"Hair is Fiber" or "The Bald Blonde"Jo Blackwell, owner Dop Dop, New York, NY
Blackwell was thrilled and flattered when in 1993 she was recruited by JOHN DELLARIA SALON in New York from her job at VISIBLE CHANGES SALON in Houston. "Not that I didn't love where I was, but this was a chance to run an entire color department and continue building a reputation as a specialist in corrective color," says Blackwell. Not long after she hit the Big Apple, she had just applied bleach to a platinum blonde with hair halfway down her back, when her new boss invited her to do a consultation with Lauren Hutton. Excited to be face-to-face with the screen goddess, Blackwell bounded upstairs where the star was waiting, and the two began to chat.
Fifteen minutes passed, and Blackwell glanced over the railing to her station to check on her assistant's progress. To her horror, she saw that nothing had changed - the cap was still on her client's head (the assistant had gone to lunch). Panicked, Blackwell leapt into action and hurried the woman to the shampoo bowl. "But when I tried to rinse her, all her hair fell out. She sat up and looked like a downy chick," says Blackwell. The colorist began sobbing convulsively, and apologizing. Luckily, the client - who was a friend - began to laugh. She'd just been offered a role in a film - but had turned it down because it required her to shave her head. Now she could take the part.
"It was so humbling for me," says Blackwell. "Here I had been recruited because of my color expertise, and I had melted someone's hair off. I had seen hair split, but never melt. It was so clear that hair is fiber and it will tear if it is abused." And the bald blonde? She's still Blackwell's client today - and she has platinum hair that hangs halfway down her back.
"Go With Your Gut" or "The Actress Who Almost Killed Me." Justine Beech, colorist, Umberto, Beverly Hills, CA
Being fairly new to the salon floor doesn't mean you don't have any experience. Back in the early Nineties, when Justine Beech first got her own station at Umberto in Beverly Hills, she'd already been through beauty school, and worked as an assistant to one of the town's top celebrity colorists. She definitely knew her stuff. So when "Hue Hollywood," her mentor, began spending one week out of every month working in New York, he handed over some of his famous regulars to her.
One day, a certain actress who went on to appear in numerous films and a long-running HBO series, showed up for a retouch. As she would with any client, Beech pulled the color card and began mixing up the formula. "It was a red, and I kept looking at it and thinking - something's weird here, there's no neutral in this at all," says Beech, who was concerned the mix would turn pink on the client's hair if she had any gray. "But I ignored that inner voice." She applied the color, and the roots came out - guess what? - hot pink. "She was in a rage," says Beech, "Because the same thing had happened a month before. It was corrected then, but no one fixed the card." Beech knew she could repair the actress's hair by adding some N, but the woman stormed out and never returned to the salon.
"I learned that you really have to go with your gut," says Beech. "You have to go with what you know. Don't over-think things."
"Free Your Creativity" or "When I Met J-Lo"Rita Hazan, owner, Rita Hazan, New York, NY
Eight years ago, Rita Hazan was working at Manhattan's ORIBE SALON. She had made a name for herself as a go-to colorist for clients seeking an image change, and boss Oribe often sent referrals her way. So who shows up at her station one day seeking a new look? Jennifer Lopez - before J. Lo was a household name. When Hazan asked the young actress - who starred in
Selena that year, but had yet to release her first CD - what she wanted to do with her hair, Lopez said: "You're the expert. Do what you want."
Instead of being petrified, Hazan says she felt a rush of excitement and creativity, "I was relieved. She was giving me free range. This was going to be cool." She took La Lopez's locks from a boring brown to a stunning sea of honey-colored highlights. "She loved it," says Hazan. "It was a frenzy of color - dramatic but not punky, a soft look that gave her more Hollywood glamour."
"From then on, I just released my creativity with every client," says Hazan. "I wasn't afraid to take risks. Too often as colorists we compromise. But all that changed for me on that day. It opened a door." Hazan's fearless artistry has made her so popular that she was able to open her own shop three years ago. And Lopez? Hazan did a touch up on her the day before this interview. "We met at the beginning of my career and the beginning of hers. We grew up together," Hazan says.
"Remember the Basics" or "The Pink Punk"Nancy Braun, owner, bhava, West Hollywood, CA
So you're an established colorist, and you think you've seen it - and maybe know it - all. Eight years ago, Nancy Braun was working as head colorist at FREDERIC FEKKAI in Beverly Hills, and had become so respected that she taught the weekly evening education classes. One night, "A girl came in with pink hair. She had used Manic Panic or something like that, and she wanted more normal hair," says Braun. "Her hair was really this fuchsia color, like the L'Oreal Kerastase bottle or something. Bad."
Braun's first idea was to bleach out all the not-so-pretty-in-pink. "But her hair had already been bleached once, and was so porous that the last thing you want to do is bleach again," says Braun. But the second option was to layer another color over the pink. Braun - and the students in her class - decided this was a better choice. They went back to the color wheel to choose a shade that would cancel out the pink. Since pink falls opposite gold, Braun used the 24-karat shade on the client's hair. To be extra careful, they tested the formula on a small section of hair before doing the whole head. "It turned out the perfect color," says Braun.
"Sometimes, you have to take a step back - go back to basics," says Braun. "This incident really sticks in my head because it is a reminder to go back to that color wheel."

Hollywood watchers blame Washington for "Zero Dark Thirty" Oscar snub
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Kathryn Bigelow's snub by Academy Awards voters stunned her cast and awards pundits on Thursday, with some pointing the finger at Washington politicians for the "Zero Dark Thirty" director's omission from the best director Oscar shortlist.
Bigelow was seen as the biggest casualty on Oscar nominations day after her controversial Osama bin Laden thriller won five nods, including best picture, but the director herself was cut out of the running for the industry's biggest honors.
"Kathryn Bigelow was robbed," tweeted Megan Ellison, one of the movie's producers, after the nominations were announced.
The movie about the decade-long U.S. hunt for bin Laden has come under fierce attack in Washington. A group of senators in December chided distributor Sony Pictures in a letter, calling the film "grossly inaccurate and misleading" for suggesting torture helped the United States capture bin Laden in May 2011.
The Senate Intelligence Committee has also launched a review of CIA dealings with Bigelow and screenwriter Mark Boal.
Hollywood watchers say the negative publicity affected the choices made by the Academy of Motion Pictures, whose 6,000 members are working professionals in the industry.
Los Angeles Times film critic Kenneth Turan blamed the snub for Bigelow on what he called Washington bullies.
"Chalk up this year's (Oscar) nominations as a victory for the bullying power of the United States Senate and an undeserved loss for 'Zero Dark Thirty' in general and director Kathryn Bigelow in particular," Turan wrote on Thursday. Continued...

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) � North Carolina's governor said in a published interview Friday that she didn't propose employee furloughs to manage the state budget gap, saying such a move would hurt the state's reputation as it recruits business.
Gov. Beverly Perdue told The News & Observer of Raleigh that the money saved by forcing state employees to take unpaid time off wouldn't be worth the ultimate effect.
Perdue's budget proposal, which was released this week, included spending cuts aimed at closing an estimated $3.4 billion revenue gap.
The governor said she had heard that businesses looking to relocate to a state thought furloughs indicated poor economic health. "I heard the financial institutions talk about what a signal it sent in terms of the health and vitality of the economy of the state," Perdue said.
"As I watched the pushback ... in California and other states on furloughs, I began to ask myself quite frankly if the service is so unnecessary that you can do without it for a day; if the citizens can do without it how many other days can they do without?"
Perdue said she tells business executives they should locate in North Carolina and the "state is going to look better in 2012 than 2009."
Perdue's nearly $21 billion budget for 2009-2010 could put hundreds of state and university employees out of work through layoffs and increase tobacco and alcohol taxes to help close the revenue gap. The proposed spending plan is $360 million less than this year's budget, even including $1.7 billion of federal stimulus money.
Despite Perdue's sentiment against furloughs, state House Speaker Joe Hackney, D-Orange, said he thinks the state must consider layoffs or furloughs.
Republican leader Sen. Phil Berger of Eden said North Carolina citizens "are prepared for government to curtail its spending."
During the interview with News & Observer reporters and editors, Perdue also said the state has had close calls financially.
Perdue said Thursday that she receives a weekly report of the state's income and expenses. Sometimes, she said, cash flow has been tight.
"There were times in the last six weeks when I had a real concern about cash flow," Perdue said.
Lack of enough money is the reason the state is behind on issuing income tax refunds, officials said. Refunds typically take four to six weeks, but have been delayed an additional two weeks because of delays in reporting income by corporations as well as cash flow.
"We're managing the distribution of the refund checks very carefully," state Revenue Secretary Ken Lay said Thursday. "You look at your checkbook and make sure you don't write more checks than you can afford to."

Response to VectorAnalysis
Richard Chen wrote asking about VectorAnalysis and crossing
two vectors in cylindrical space.
The package as you presented it worked fine.
{a1,a2,a3} x {0,0,1} is truly {Sqrt[(a1 Sin[a2])^2+...}
Convert the cylindrical vectors to cartesian vectors to convince
If you want {a1,a2,a3} x {0,0,1} = {a2,-a1,0}, you

why the Sin^2+Cos^2 terms show up in the first component of Mr. Chen's

Although both programs lead to the M.D. degree, there are some fundamental differences between these two programs that prospective students should consider when selecting to which program you will apply. Because both programs require a cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.5 or higher to complete the M.D. degree, the primary consideration for prospective students is how their interests and talents align with the undergraduate curriculum that is offered.
To assist prospective students in their decision, we have provided the following summary that highlights some of the differences between these two programs:

How to Go
Fraser's Hill, despite being a popular holiday spot, does not have many public transport routes from major destinations such as Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. For most visitors to Fraser's Hill, a personal vehicle is their main option, though taxis from major cities will take you there at a high price. There are also no buses with a direct route, the closest being Kuala Kubu Bharu town (32km away from the Gap). However, it's possible to catch a cab from here; usually a small fleet of taxis will be stationed near the bus stand throughout the day. Finally, it's not uncommon to observe energetic bicyclists sprinting up from Kuala Kubu Bharu along the twisty highland road.
From Kuala Lumpur and Singapore
Fraser's Hill lies about 100km away north from Kuala Lumpur, or 400km from Singapore. Visitors can travel through Kuala Kubu Bharu (KKB) or Bentong towns to reach this highland resort destination. Using the Bentong route, you take the Karak Highway, passing by Genting Highlands and turning off at Bentong. A junction to Bukit Frasers pops up along the main road a few km after town. Alternatively, a trunk road leads from Gombak to Bentong through Janda Baik if you wish to avoid paying toll. On the other hand, using the North-South Highway from Kuala Lumpur will require a detour at the Kuala Kubu Bharu exit. Follow the signboards to Bukit Fraser from KKB to get on the right track.
Again, to avoid paying toll, you can use the trunk road from Batu Caves, going through Rawang and turn right at the Kuala Kubu Bharu junction. By railway, the KTM Train from KL Sentral stops at KKB station; you then need a taxi to bring you up. Do make arrangements with the driver to bring you back, as Fraser's Hill does not have any cabs. From northern destinations, such as Penang, you only need to drive down the North-South Highway (or trunk road) past Ipoh towards Rawang. Eventually, there will be a turn-off to Kuala Kubu Bharu before the Rawang exit; turn here and follow the directions towards Fraser's Hill from town.
Getting Around
Eventually, all modes of transportation to Fraser's Hill will reach the Gap - This is the base station before a winding 8km narrow road up to the highlands, cutting through beautiful rainforest scenery and mountain ridges. The Gap road remains the only route of access up to Fraser's Hill; a separate road for downhill traffic starts from Jalan Quarry after Pine Resort, which takes you back on the trunk route to Kuala Lumpur through Bentong/KKB. Since Fraser's Hill is a small place, you can get around by walking from one end to the other; it actually feels pretty refreshing to use your legs with the cool weather.
If you have your car with you, then moving around will be a breeze. You probably won't use much fuel travelling around the highland retreat, but do be aware that there are no petrol stations around. The local sundry shops near the police station does sell some petrol stocked in plastic bottles for emergencies, but they cost substantially higher. There is no public transport in Fraser's Hill, so if you need to arrange your own transport in and out if you don't have a vehicle. Free guide maps are available from Tourist Information Center at Puncak Inn Hotel, which faces the town square a short distance after exiting the Gap.

The extraordinary access granted by British Cabinet ministers to Rupert Murdoch and his children has been revealed for the first time.
More than two dozen private meetings were held between the family and senior members of the Government in the 15 months since David Cameron entered Downing St.
In total, Cabinet ministers have met Murdoch executives more than 60 times.
On three occasions James Murdoch was given confidential defence briefings on Afghanistan and Britain's strategic defence review by the Defence Secretary, Liam Fox, including on one occasion with his father.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, has had 16 meetings since May 2010 with News International editors and executives, including two with the Murdochs within just a month of taking office.
He also invited Elisabeth Murdoch as a guest to his 40th birthday party last month.
Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt dined with Rupert Murdoch within days of the Government coming to power, and, after being given quasi-judicial oversight for the Murdochs' £8 billion ($15 billion) attempted takeover of BSkyB, had two meetings with James Murdoch in which they discussed the takeover.
Hunt said yesterday these were legitimate as part of the bid process.
The minister who sees Rupert Murdoch most frequently is Education Secretary, Michael Gove, a former News International employee. Gove has seen the mogul for breakfast, lunch or dinner on six occasions since May and has had 12 meetings with Murdoch executives since becoming a minister.
The list, released by government departments yesterday, reinforces the impression of an unhealthily close relationship between the top echelons of News International and senior members of the Coalition Cabinet, which first became apparent when Cameron released his list of contacts with news organisations a week ago. He revealed then he had met News International executives on 26 occasions since entering No10.
Senior executives and editors from News International have held private meetings with Cabinet ministers more than 60 times since last May.
However, the Business Secretary, Vince Cable, who was stripped of responsibility for ruling on whether the BSkyB bid should go ahead after boasting in December that he had "declared war on Rupert Murdoch", did not have as much contact as some of his colleagues did with News Corp figures. Cable met the editor of the Times, James Harding, in December, although it is unclear whether this was before or after he was stripped of his responsibilities for the BSkyB bid. He also attended a Sunday Times lunch last April.
It emerged that the Prime Minister's chief of staff, Ed Llewellyn, held a meeting shortly after the election with the former News of the World editor and No 10's communications director, Andy Coulson, the former head of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Paul Stephenson, and Neil Wallis, the former deputy editor of the News of the World and then adviser to the Met.
Downing St described the dinner as a "get-to-know you meeting" and said it had emerged through an investigation of records of contacts with Wallis, who was recently arrested over allegations of phone hacking.
A spokesman for Gove insisted his meetings with the Murdochs were personal. "Michael worked for News International and his wife works for News International," he said.
"He has known Rupert Murdoch for over a decade. He did not discuss the BSkyB deal with the Murdochs and isn't at all embarrassed about his meetings, most of which have been about education, which is his job."
A spokesman for Fox said the defence briefings given to the Murdochs covered a range of issues and were given because of the "interest in defence matters" shown by News International papers.
The Conservative Party's co-chairwoman Sayeeda Warsi said the release of the information showed that the Government was being open about its dealings with the Murdochs. "This Government is delivering unprecedented transparency," she said. "Ed Miliband now needs to come clean. Where is his list of shadow Cabinet media meetings? Ed Miliband should get his own house in order."
Ivan Lewis MP, Labour's shadow culture, media and sport secretary, said: "We now need urgent clarification about whether David Cameron or his ministers sought to influence the BSkyB decision at any stage in the decision-making process."

When a state 'caps' non-economic damages, politicians have essentially decided to value the destruction of someone's life by what that person would have earned in the marketplace, since lost earning are never 'capped.' This promotes a kind of caste system.
Read Whole Story
When triggered by the desire to reduce unwarranted variation in practice and provide patients with benchmark quality care, adherence to clinical guidelines can often improve patient safety. But turning guidelines into legal standards would be bad for both patients and doctors.
Medical malpractice costs are a flash point for physicians and malpractice trial lawyers, each side claiming their solutions must be heeded to avoid potential disaster for patients and our health care delivery system.
When Republicans talk about how health care should be reformed, they typically mention malpractice reform, citing Texas as a role model. But a closer look at Texas raises doubts its claimed benefits.
If Rep. Paul Ryan mentions health care at all on Tuesday, it is likely be the same old same old. After all, if they had any new ideas that could actually cut costs and improve quality, wouldn't we have heard about them already?
Even when you remove litigation as a factor, the extent of tests and procedures that are ordered do not change. Enacting "tort reform" will continue to fail as a solution to this country's health care problems.
There are many changes going on in the health care system at this very moment, and you may not hear much about them -- in fact, you probably won't -- but these changes are ultimately going to improve health care delivery.
Despite promises from Republicans to repeal the health care reform law, they can't do it. Even if the Senate agreed with the House and passed a repeal bill, President Obama would veto it. But what about death by a thousand cuts?
Since the Clinton health reform effort failed in the early 1990s, Republicans have been using the same talking points that Christine O'Donnell used Wednesday night. It's time to call them out.
This is the fork in the road for the Senate's Democratic leaders: they must choose between the tort lawyers and a health care bill that could re-unite a country that has turned against the present bill.
When a person is injured by a defective product, a verdict for the plaintiff not only compensates that person for the injuries sustained, but hopefully causes the defendant and others to take corrective action.

Nope, I can honestly say that I've never used the Tausur Security lock. Mind you, I don't have any kids running around the place.
I've started using my PT145 as my main home defense weapon because my wife doesn't want loaded magazines in a nightstand gun that doesn't have a trigger lock (we have kids).
Since trigger locks are a loser for a defensive weapon in my opinion (slow and awkward in an emergency), I'm using the MilPro because it has an internal lock. Releasing the lock is relatively quick if I keep myself familiar with it and keep the key nearby. I've also heard the Taurus internal lock is more trouble free than Smith and Wesson's lock (I also have a late model .38 Smith revolver.)
Before the Mil Pro, I was using a KelTec P-11 with hi capacity mags. The added benefit is .45 is more powerful than 9mm.
Anyone else doing this? Just curious.
Nope, I can honestly say that I've never used the Tausur Security lock. Mind you, I don't have any kids running around the place.
I have 3 Taurus pistols and don't use the internal locking mechanism on any of them. I don't have little kids either (first grandchild on the way, tho) but I keep mine locked up in a safe when not in use. I did use the key one time - it is the same Allen key size as the allen screws used for mounting the sights. I used it to change out my sights on my PT140.

I use mine more than I want to, hospital carry is illegal here. So with my daughter in the hospital so much I lock it then lock it in the truck. It may only be a little problem for them to get a key, but they won't be able to use it on me unless they have a key on them. I never lock it at home, I to no longer have small children around my house.
God and Guns keep us strong!
Never used it, never will - have no idea where the key is, nor do I care.
I've got two pre-teens, so yes I do (including my Bersa in this, they have a similar integrated lock). And yes, the weapons are also locked up. Basically I TSS lock which ever guns I'm not actively carrying or keeping bedside, lock them in their safe, and put the TSS keys in with the ammo (locked up separately). I do keep a TSS key on my ring, because why not :-)
When the kids are gone, probably won't go through the extra hassle. But I love the feature. For traveling with the weapons as well.
I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
Paper targets fear me
All my Tauri not in service have the security lock on and locked in a safe. I have no children to worry about, so my bedside pistol is lit and ready to go as is my daily carry 24/7/365, the latter either on my hip or within easy reach. You would be better served getting a GunVault (or similar device) to lock your gun in - I would not use the TSS as it should not be engaged on a loaded pistol (one in chamber) nor with mag inserted. The TSS should only be engaged when pistol has been de-cocked (trigger pulled) and safely unloaded per Taurus recommendation to avoid damage to the pistol or harm to anyone.

It's still in the case my PT140 came in. I don't have kids here so I wouldn't know how to use it.

Valentine's Day Art
Our apartment right now is not very pretty. Besides decorating for Christmas I haven't really done any other decorating. It is very hard right now to make anything feel pretty with half of our possessions out in the open and not organized away nicely. We have very very little space in our apartment so I find it very hard to decorate when the flat screen TV box is chilling in the corner of our living room.

For Valentine's Day this year W and I have decided to visit the Grand Canyon. We live only a few hours away, neither of us has been and.. we are doing it in style! We are going to spend the night at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel and then in the morning hope on the train and head up to the Grand Canyon. I am super excited about the whole trip. Since we are going to be kicking back in a hotel for Valentine's I decided to put together a little gift box for the two of us.

Remineralizing Toothpaste
Say what!?! Yes you can make your own toothpaste to remineralize your teeth. But why would you do that when you can just go get toothpaste at the store and you go to the dentist regularly? Simple answer, the modern diet does not provide enough minerals like it should. Enamel the hard coating on the outside of your teeth doesn't have the ability to regrow but they can self-repair or remineralize.

SP Cruiser Hull No. 37
This particular hull was selected from the production line in the summer of 2010 by Island Packet Yachts for use as a platform to prototype a fully automated sailing system. Hull #37 was maintained indoors at Island Packet Yachts' Largo, Florida facilities and was not available for sale until the AutoSail research was complete. The United Kingdom partnership did not follow through and the boat was never altered from the factory production standards of its sister yachts. This accounts for the extra low engine hours, boat show condition of the gelcoat, and freshness of all systems. In the fall of 2012, she was made ready for sale in the usual manner as a standard SP Cruiser production hull (2012 mast / boom rig) and was sold in 2013 to her current and only owners.
About The SP Cruiser
The award-winning SP Cruiser offers year round boating comfort, trawler-like livability and motoring performance, simple and versatile sailing and legendary Island Packet quality and value.
Among many unique features are the SP Cruiser's twin cockpits. One aft and one forward, both suitable for cruising, entertaining and comfortable living. Large CE Category A - Ocean rated opening windows in the enclosed deckhouse offer panoramic views, while the center windshield panel hinges upward to allow socializing with family and friends in the forward cockpit.
Control of this vessel is made easy and comfortable with dual swivel helm and companion chairs plus a large console forward of the wheel for engine controls and instrumentation. The autopilot gives you the ability to steer the boat from virtually any location aboard with a wireless handheld control.
Forward chairs and L-shaped settee surrounding the folding table, enabling meals, entertainment or relaxation regardless of weather conditions outside.
This yacht is in bristol condition. Petit blue hard signal coat followed by two coats of red ablative paint has been added in the late fall of 2014.
Whether you are exploring coastal waterways or making extended passages, the award-winning SP Cruiser offers all climate comfort with efficient and stable motoring and easily managed sailing.

Some of the stories making headlines in the provinces on Wednesday morning include Masterchef NZ, the difference between tagging and street art, weird named women getting "down and dirty", more missing gnomes, and the Wairarapa Miss Tui contestant has sparked a debate about chainsaws and hotpants.
Far North Mayor Wayne Brown told farmers if they have to wait until everyone understands everything about changes to the rating system "I will be dead, and so will you." Despite this, the farmers were reportedly not as hostile as they seemed likely to be when the meeting began.
Rotorua children attending a holiday programme have learned that tagging is for losers but "street art" is cool. Meanwhile more than 160 descendants, relatives and family members from the small island of Atiu in the Cook Islands will converge on Apumoana Marae in Rotorua from tomorrow for a "cultural re-awakening".
Government cost-cutting threatens the Tauranga-based Hauraki Battalion, which boasts famous recruits include Lt General Lord Bernard Freyberg, VC, and Corporal Willie Apiata, VC. Meanwhile aliens were the topic of conversation at Baycourt yesterday when Ben 10 zapped in on his time machine.
In Hawke's Bay, Elle Qaeda, Crash Bambi-Kute, Blista Payne, Anna von Carnage, FOff and friends have been getting down and dirty! There's a photo gallery to prove it. They've got nothing to do with Masterchef New Zealand's Elephant Hill chowdown last night, which locals are predicting will give the bay more than 60 minutes of fame. But over in Nelson, former Masterchef competitor Karyn Thomas is warning fans not to be under any illusion the show's main aim is entertainment.
Emergency housing for people who had nowhere to go in Wanganui is being shut down. If recent petitions are an indication, the biggest worries in Wanganui are a footpath extension, problem oak trees and dangerous boy racers.
In the Wairarapa, a debate has begun over whether the Miss Tui contestant Christina Booth, featured in this column a couple of days ago, should be wearing hot pants or PPE while chainsawing. Meanwhile an ambitious project to create a cycleway linking Shannon in the Horowhenua District with Eketahuna by traversing the vast Tararua Range wilderness remains on the drawing board. All they need is money.
A University of Canterbury study has found women who are more threatened by idealised images of females in media tend to own more shoes and handbags, but not trousers. Also in the Garden City, a woman was so drunk she tried to start her car with a house key and thought the glove box was the ignition.
Otago psychology PhD student Min Hooi Yong is experimenting with domestic dogs to establish if they understand human emotional cues. Meanwhile almost 250 University of Otago students have been suspended as the university increases its focus on producing quality students.
A dog that has been terrorising pets in Oamaru has been captured and its owner now faces a fine, and possibly having the animal put down. Meanwhile more garden gnomes have gone missing in the town.
The top trending topics on Twitter in New Zealand at midday were, #WaysToBeginSex, #SignsThatYouUgly, Tupac, #IDidntTextYouBack, Coachella, Jimmy Cowan, New Zealand, Flo Rida, Instagram, and Kiwis.

Congrats on the purchase, pics?
no cladding
If "Cladding" is the plastic on the sides, then no, went without the Cladding.
There is enough plastic on it still and that will be a chore to keep it dressed out: Buy the way I ordered some 303 Aerospace Protectant yesterday for the truck (128 oz) which is currently on sale from Detailed Image for under $50. A detailer friend tells me this is what he uses and it does not run like other Protectants.
Pic's to come in a couple of days...
Want something better? That won't run off or wash off for upto 6 months? and only costs $5.00 at your local Supermarket? FUTURE Floor wax.. Now thats a Detailers secret That I have used for years...

Roberto Martinez's men leapfrogged Arsenal with a 1-0 win away at Sunderland on Saturday and would qualify for the Champions League if they win their remaining games
Roberto Martinez's men leapfrogged Arsenal with a scrappy 1-0 Premier League win at Sunderland on Saturday and now face the task of keeping the north London club at bay for the remainder of the season.
Regardless of Arsenal's result against West Ham on Tuesday, three points would be enough for Everton to remain in the driving seat in the race for fourth.
Ultimate success in their quest would see Everton competing in the Champions League for the first time since the 2005-06 season and, on paper, Palace at home would appear a reasonably straightforward stepping stone on the way to achieving that aim.
|Everton are 11/10 with Bet365 to finish in the top four
That record will give the Eagles hope and Martinez knows the importance of making the most of his side's three remaining home fixtures.
"We've got three games at home and at Goodison [Park] our form has been very good but we're going to be heavily tested," he told Sky Sports.
"You look at it on paper and Arsenal have got the best run-in but the good thing about football is nothing works as it should be on paper.
"We're excited that, at this stage of the season, we've got enough points to fight for that position and will try to take advantage of our home fixtures - that could be the difference of achieving it or not."
Palace should expect no charity from an Everton side hungry for European football this time around.
Phil Jagielka (hamstring) is nearing a return for the hosts but may not be quite ready in time for Wednesday's match, and trio Steven Pienaar, Darron Gibson and Arouna Kone (all knee), defender Bryan Oviedo (broken leg) and loanee Lacina Troare (hamstring) will miss out.
Palace have a near -fully fit squad, although Kagisho Dikgacoi was withdrawn early on at the weekend.

Kendall said the AEC claims it knows of everything that can go wrong with a power plant reactor, and this is "demonstrably untrue." ^'Numbers of quite serious design errors are frequently discovered at the country's nuclear power plants," Kendall said. Kendall said the Rasmussen a/ialysis estimated that a certain type of breakdown had a probability of one in a million, times a million, times a million Yet, Kendall said. that breakdown has occurred once already and similar, though not identical, incidents have occurred 18 times already. Reports Tanaka Will Quit Post TOKYO (UPI) - Prime Minister Tanaka, taking responsibility for the current political crisis, will announce his resignation Monday, a Tokyo newspaper reported today.

Two student groups asked the commission to put greater emphasis on the state's railroad passenger transportation network Skip l^aitner of the Iowa Student Public Interest Research Group recommend-t»d that greater funding priority be given for mass transit and railroads "A first rate railroad system could be subsidized by one-half of what is spent on highways and the result would be an increase in employment and a 60 percent drop in energy consumption," Inaner said. He said the commission should not be afraid of railroad subsidies because "no transportation system can be expected to pay for itself " Two groups specifically asked the DOT place a greater emphasis on the state's highway network The Iowa County Engineers Assn reminded the commission not to forget the state's secondary roads, while the Iowa Good Roads Assn called for adequate funding for all state and county roads and city streets Fees, Taxes The key to such funding, C. W. Sloan of the IGRA said, is preservation^ of Iowa's constitutional requirement that motor vehicle fees and taxes be used only for road improvements and maintenance. Although the subject of long trucks was not discussed in great detail because the commission has scheduled a special hearing for the truck issue next Wednesday, one individual came down hard on the controversial big trucks. George Kramer of Waukee, involved in management services and consulting, called 65-foot double bottom trucks "highway freight trains" and urged the commission to not make the big trucks legal. Under provisions of the legislation creating the DOT. it has the power to set regulations on truck lengths allowed in the state. Howard Gunnerson, acting director of the department, said the commission staff would study and review all testimony before making recommendations on the proposal's changes. "They will begin making their modifications very soon and I would hope that they stay with a relatively simple policy," Gunnerson said Two Arrested For Possession Two Cedar Rapids men were arrested by Marion police Saturday and charged with possession of a controlled substance. Police arrested Clary Steger. 22, of 1800 Seventh avenue SE, and Scott Chadima. 20, of 401 Red Fox road SE. early Saturday morning on the south side of Marion. The pair possessed a substance believed to be marijuana, police said Steger and Chadima were taken to the Linn county jail but were released later Saturday to the community court services Steger was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on three drug counts, including importation of cocaine and possession of amphetamine tablets with intent to deliver wm Alway* Welcome!

Walker cemetery Demos Oust Bartel From Panel's Chair By Fsrd Clark DES MOINES - Richard Bartel of Iowa City Saturday was removed from the office of chairman of the Democratic state platform committee Bartel, a controversial Democrat serving on the Johnson county board of supervisors, was previously censured by the Johnson county Democratic central committee for his alleged nonsupport of a fellow Democrat running for office. Bartel had advocated nonsupport of Robert Burns, an incumbent supervisor running for reselection. Bartel claimed both the Republican and Independent candidates held positions more in keeping with the platform proposed by the Democratic state platform committee. The Johnson county central committee censured Bartel for his stand and endorsed Burns. Burns won re-election Nov. 5 Bartel Saturday confirmed he had heard rumors there was a move afoot to remove him as chairman of the state platform committee "However," he said, "I personally brought the matter to a head. I said I would be willing to stay on as chairman. I was aware that I was in conflict with some members of the state central committee and threw the matter open by raising the question of the chairmanship myself. " A secret ballot of 18 members of the committee at a meeting at North high in Des Moines Saturday morning saw Bartel defeated in his move to retain the chairmanship. Elected was Joseph Dorman, a teacher in flu* Cedar Rapids school system. Also elected to posts on the executive committee were Mrs. Barbara Murray of West Branch, secretary; Jim Wickham of Des Moines, parliamentarian, and Mrs. Jon-ann Wild of Davenport, vice-chairman Bartel did retain a seat on the executive committee after being removed as chairman. Bartel attributed his "obvious difficulties with members of the central committee' to his "support of a grass-roots movement in the state platform committee rather than party machinery." Domian, of 1523 B avenue NE, garnered eight votes of 15 cast in the three-way contest. He commented Saturday night that "there was no animosity" in the removal of Bartel.
