The dynamics of male-male competition in
The outcome of male-male competition can be predicted from the relative fighting qualities of the opponents, which often depend on their age. In insects, freshly emerged and still sexually inactive males are morphologically indistinct from older, sexually active males. These young inactive males may thus be easy targets for older males if they cannot conceal themselves from their attacks. The ant
We found that old ergatoid males consistently won fights against ergatoid males younger than two days. Old males did not differentiate between different types of unpigmented pupae several days before emergence, but had more frequent contact to ready-to-eclose pupae of female sexuals and winged males than of workers and ergatoid males. In rare cases, old ergatoid males displayed alleviated biting of pigmented ergatoid male pupae shortly before adult eclosion, as well as copulation attempts to dark pupae of female sexuals and winged males. Ergatoid male behaviour may be promoted by a closer similarity of the chemical profile of ready-to-eclose pupae to the profile of adults than that of young pupae several days prior to emergence.
Young ergatoid males of
Male age is an important predictor for engagement and success in male fighting
Male-male competition is extremely pronounced in the ant genus
The different parties in male-male competition obviously have conflicting interests concerning their detectability. Dishonest female mimicry by winged males might be stable in evolution because winged males are only sporadically produced under environmental stress
We therefore investigated how long young males are vulnerable and how early adult males can detect the presence of emerging rivals in their nests,
Study organism
Male fighting
We observed 24 fights between pairs of ergatoid males. Males were removed from their original nests and placed in a small colony containing 10–20 workers. It was previously found that the order in which males were introduced to the workers does not affect the outcome of fights (SC unpublished observation). In the encounters, one male was older than three days ("old male"), whereas the age of the younger male varied between immediately after emergence (d0,
Interaction of adult males with pupae
We observed the behaviour of single ergatoid males towards pupae in an arena (diameter 4 cm, height 0.5 cm) by scan sampling (each scan taking one to several seconds
Chemical analysis
We determined the cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of white and dark pupae and one-day old ants of both female castes (workers, female sexuals) and both types of males (winged, ergatoid;
Male fighting
Fights lasted from ten minutes to 60 hours, with the duration not being significantly dependent on whether the old ergatoid males was paired with a freshly emerged (d0; median fight length, 25%-75% quartile range: 367 min, 89–475 min), a one-day old (d1; 420 min, 246–1104 min) or a two-day old (d2; 473 min, 349–1601 min) opponent (Kruskal-Wallis test

In addition to biting, males besmeared their rivals with secretions from the anus, which elicited worker aggression. The frequency with which the later winner of the fight besmeared its rival was independent of male age (

Chemical analysis
Gas chromatography of cuticular hydrocarbons revealed that pupae and adults consistently shared only eleven peaks (C25; 11-meC25; 3-meC25; C27; 13-, 11-, 9-meC27; C29:1; C29; 15-, 13-, 11-meC29; 7-meC29; C31:1; 15-, 13-, 11-meC31). Principal components analysis of transformed and standardized peak areas resulted in two principal components with eigenvalues larger than 0.8, which together accounted for 90.6% of the variance. Discriminant analysis with these two principal components indicated a significant separation of the 12 different groups (white pupae, dark pupae, 1d old adults each of workers, female sexuals, winged males, and ergatoid males; Wilks' λ = 0.0127,
Figure 5
Chemical analysis of cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of pupae and adults of the ant
Chemical analysis of cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of pupae and adults of the ant
Our study shows that ergatoid males benefit from attacking emerging ergatoid rivals as soon as possible after eclosion, even if the latter do not yet engage in sexual activities. Older males consistently won fights against males of an age of one day or less, whereas they only survived 43% of the fights against two-day old opponents (Figure
Earlier eclosing males appear to have a competitive advantage over those that eclose later also in other species with fatal fighting and local mate competition (LMC),
Obviously, the advantage of early emergence results in a conflict of interest over the timing of the detectability of ergatoid males. On the one hand, it pays for an adult ergatoid to recognize and remove competitors as early as possible, as eliminating pupae is presumably even safer than killing freshly emerged ergatoids. On the other hand, young ergatoid males would benefit by concealing their identity until their cuticula is sclerotized and they have a reasonable chance of surviving a confrontation with an older male. Ergatoid males almost incessantly patrol through the nest and examine the brood pile for freshly eclosed ergatoids and young female sexuals
The observed differences in ergatoid male behaviour towards unpigmented early pupae and dark pupae shortly before emergence may be based on their chemical signatures. We found that the cuticular hydrocarbon profiles of dark, ready-to-eclose pupae were more similar to those of adults than the profiles of white pupae (Figure
It has been shown previously that winged males of
Though young ergatoid males would obviously benefit from concealing their identity they fail to do so. Whereas winged males perform successful female mimicry
Despite their distinct chemical profile, ergatoid males may occasionally remain undetected because a) they are quite inactive during the first hours after eclosion, b) colonies may be so large that the resident male cannot fully control all brood piles, and c) queens produce so many males that not all are eliminated by the old male.

James H. Walker
James H. Walker (May 31, 1885 – December 1, 1954) was a farmer, provincial-level politician and World War I-era soldier. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1940 to 1944. During that time he served as official opposition leader twice and was leader of the Independents.
Early life[edit]
Walker served in World War I. He attained the rank of Major and ran in the 1917 Alberta general election soldiers and nurses vote. In that vote he finished in eighth place out of 21 candidates.[1]
He was involved in large scale farming in Raymond, Alberta. He specialized in growing sugar beets, and became chairman of the Beet Growing Industry. He also primarily raised sheep on his farm.[2]
Political career[edit]
Walker would return to provincial politics running as a United Farmers of Alberta candidate in the 1935 Alberta general election. He was defeated by Social Credit candidate Solon Earl Low, finishing a distant second place, but still ahead of incumbent Frank Leffingwell.[3]
Walker himself would run for a second time in the Warner electoral district against Low. He was an Independent candidate this time around and defeated Low.[4]
Walker would run for leadership of the Independent Citizen's Association and defeat David Elton on a first ballot win at Calgary on January 23, 1944. His win would make him the first permanent leader of the Independents.[2]
Walker had trouble gaining traction as leader. Prior to the start of the 4th Legislative session, the Independents lost two caucus members who joined Joseph Trembley to sit in the Assembly as Liberals. The Independents, despite knowing about the timing of the 1944 Alberta general election well in advance, failed to field a full slate of candidates. The party and Walker were criticized heavily as being unable to form government and unable to be a viable alternative. On elections night, Social Credit under Ernest Manning surged in popularity and the Independents were returned in just three seats.
Walker was personally defeated in his own electoral district by Low and did not return to provincial politics.[5]

University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE
PURPOSE:To evaluate the long-term efficacy of budesonide/formoterol pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
METHODS:This was a 12-month, randomized, double-blind, multicenter study (NCT00206167) of 1964 patients ≥40 years with moderate to very severe COPD. After 2 weeks of treatment based on previous therapy (inhaled corticosteroids and short-acting bronchodilators allowed), patients received budesonide/formoterol pMDI 160/4.5μg ×2 inhalations (320/9μg), budesonide/formoterol pMDI 80/4.5μg ×2 inhalations (160/9μg), formoterol dry powder inhaler (DPI) 4.5μg ×2 inhalations (9μg), or placebo, all twice daily. Assessments included predose and 1-hour postdose forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1, coprimary variables; assessed at randomization and months 2, 4, 6, 9, 12); daily diary variables (morning and evening peak expiratory flow [PEF]; sum of breathlessness, cough, and sputum scores [BCSS, 0=none to 4=severe for each symptom]; awakening-free nights; sleep score [0=none to 4=severe disturbance]; rescue medication use), and exacerbation rates.
RESULTS:All active treatments demonstrated significantly greater (P<.001) improvements from baseline to the average over the treatment period in predose and 1-hour postdose FEV1 versus placebo; budesonide/formoterol 320/9μg also demonstrated significantly (P≤;.023) greater improvements versus formoterol, which were not observed with budesonide/formoterol 160/9μg. Improvements from baseline in morning and evening PEF were significantly (P≤;.017) greater for both budesonide/formoterol doses versus formoterol and placebo and significantly (P≤;.012) greater for formoterol versus placebo. Improvements from baseline in BCSS, sleep score, awakening-free nights, and rescue medication use were significantly (P≤;.012) greater for all active treatments versus placebo. Budesonide/formoterol demonstrated significantly (P≤;.038) greater improvements in BCSS (320/9μg only), sleep score, awakening-free nights (160/9μg only), and rescue medication use versus formoterol. Exacerbation rates were significantly (P≤;.004) reduced by ∼25–30% with budesonide/formoterol versus formoterol and ∼40% versus placebo.
CONCLUSION:Budesonide/formoterol pMDI 320/9μg twice daily significantly improved pulmonary function, COPD symptoms, and exacerbations over 12 months versus formoterol and placebo.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS:Budesonide/formoterol pMDI 320/9μg twice daily is more effective than formoterol for improving pulmonary function, COPD symptoms, and exacerbations in moderate to very severe COPD patients.

At this point you all basically know, I assume, the following: a bill needs 60 votes to pass the procedural hurdle known as cloture (in essence, the vote to end debate and agree to proceed to a final up-or-down vote). This can be sidestepped by passing something via "reconciliation," which needs only a simple majority of 51. Reconciliation can be used only for measures that affect revenue, not for just any old thing.
That's the barebones. And it has some liberals saying stuff like, well, the hell with Ben Nelson and that bunch, let's just ram it down their throats with 51 votes. But it turns out it isn't that easy, and there are downsides.
Ezra Klein explained one practical downside neatly in a post yesterday:
If [Republican Senator Olympia] Snowe drops off the bill, using the budget reconciliation process will probably be a necessity. The bill then goes through Sen. Kent Conrad's Budget Committee, giving him much more power over the product. The absence of any Republicans repels at least a couple of conservative Democrats. Passage becomes much less certain, which means a scaled-back bill becomes much more likely. This is the irony of the health-care endgame: The bill becomes much more conservative if it loses its final Republican.
What a fascinating paradox, eh wot? Reconciliation means the bill has to go through the committee controlled by the one senator who has, to name one matter, been the most vocal in his opposition to the public option. Pretty hard to imagine him reporting out a bill that has that in it.
Here's another point. Under reconciliation, the minority can still introduce things called point-of-order objections. One GOP senator said earlier this week that they're going to introduce "hundreds" of these. They won't really be able to do that; you have to have certain statutory reasons to raise these objections, or the chair (who'll be a Democrat, since they're the majority party) will just rule them out of order.
Still, they can introduce at least a handful of them. And guess what? They also require 60 votes to defeat. Same as cloture.
And here's a third point. Bills passed under reconciliation have to be voted on again in five years' time under law. They are "sunsetted," or permitted to expire, unless Congress extends them. Not just five years later, but every five years. The Bush tax cuts were passed this way and are up again in 2011.
Now remember: as the health bills are currently written, many of the provisions, for cost-saving reasons, won't even kick in until 2013. That's four years. So is Congress going to pass something that will be in effect for one whole year before they have to assess the program's effectiveness? They can move up the effective dates, I suppose, but a complicated health bill isn't quite like a tax cut. Takes more time to implement.
So reconciliation isn't really the panacea (or curse, depending on your p.o.v.) that some have described. It's hard any way you slice it, kids.

JODIE Marsh bares all by stripping completely naked as she tops up her tan on
a sunbed.
The saucy ex-glamour girl cheekily shed her clothes after she headed to a
tanning salon for the skin-bronzing session and couldn't help but share the
moment with her fans on Twitter.
Jodie, 33, uploaded a series of raunchy snaps of her totally NAKED to the
social networking website as she joked with fans about the unhealthy beauty
But it seems health freak and bodybuilding champ Jodie isn't usually a fan of
the questionable method of achieving a sun-kissed glow.
She wrote: "I know this is really Essex of me & I never have sunbeds
but I need a base tan #sorry #allwillbecomeclear x x."
She then cheekily added: "Am I allowed to tweet naked pics? Whoops too
late. It's hot in here……. Blimey #naked."
And Jodie attempted to give a warning to her army of fans by reminding them
that sunbeds are bad for – buit being naked isn't.
She said: "Do not copy me. This is not cool. Or is it? Thinking I might
start a trend #hotgirlsonsunbeds ;-).
"Sunbeds are bad for you. But being naked isn't 😉 #wewereallbornnaked
Anti-bullying campaigner Jodie recently
came second in The Sun Online poll to find the Sexiest Picture Of 2012,
narrowly missing out on the top spot to Hollywood star Mila Kunis.
However Jodie took coming second in her stride and saw the runner-up place as
a huge victory for those who like her have suffered at the hands of bullies.
Jodie has openly spoken about her troubled past both via her Twitter account
and in various TV shows and interviews as part of her battle to highlight
the pain inflicted on victims and their families by their heartless

It is so hard to describe myself in just a few words. I would probably have to write a few hundred pages before you can somewhat get an idea of who I am. Is it really that important? Maybe not. The internet is anomynous afterall.
However, I'm more of the personal type. I don't act any different online than I would with a friend in real life, because personally I DO care to know a little bit about who I follow...and if they are nice. With some of the uber professional bloggers that is impossible.
I don't live a jet set life, theres no glamour, I have no money...but what you can find here is a lot of creativity and me just enjoying life as it is :) ...
I was born and raised in Germany but did spend some time working for the US Military and lived in New York (Long Island) and San Diego, CA. Now I am back in Frankfurt am Main and enjoy the diversity of this area.
If you are not scared to learn more, read on (lots of girly things included):
Name: Emi
Born: 1982, Frankfurt am Main, so I'm not the youngest blogger out there, but I have a lower biological age, a child like mind and an ancient soul ;P
Lived: Various small towns and villages in Hesse, Germany, Upstate NY, Long Island, Southern California.
Zodiac Sign: Libra
Height: 165.5 cm, 5'5" (people tend to think I'm tall for some reason)
Eye color: Mostly green with some blue tones and some brown and yellow in the center.
Hair color: Auburn with orange, red, gold and neutral undertones depending on the light
Hairtype (for LHCers lol): 1a-b / M / ii(-iii) (8-10cm) Almost stick straight hair, medium thick strands, medium to thick overall volume depending on hair loss episodes ;), naturally my ponytail measured about 10cm, atm 9.
Skin: Very light beige (yellowish) with some pink undertone, light freckles that fade in winter, don't burn fast but I don't get dark fast either.
Hobbies: Too many for one life - Fashion and Design, Knitting, sewing, Medieval Reenactment, bow shooting, photography, drawing, writing, reading, occult and mysticism, health and diet, beauty and haircare, natural medicine, natural parenting and some I can't do atm: volleyball, horse riding, badminton.
Music: I like all sorts of music but mostly - Black Metal, Folk Metal, various Goth music styles from darkwave over hellectro, industrial, Medieval Electro or Folk Music and lots of music from my youth, hip hop, rnb, pop, some j-pop etc.
Favorite Foods: Pizza, Mochi, Natto, Sushi, Knoedel, Handkaese, Sour Dough Bread, Tempura, unagi, crepes, spaetzle.
Diet: Paleo Diet for health reasons, lots of meat, little to no starch, moderate amount of carbs as in veggies and fruits, high fat (butter) (NO dairy, sugar, grains, potato, rice, legumes)
But of course I make exceptions once in a while.
Skin Care: Minimalistic, natural products or homemade
Hair Care: Wash, air dry, oil, repeat.
Beauty ideals: I try to promote a natural look to empower women that like the same style and go against the main stream trends like lots of make up, overstyled and dyed hair, fake tan, fancy and expensive everything, superficial fake beauty ideals etc. I also want to share my healthy diet and the progress I have made when it comes to my own health.
Personality: Quiet, calm, introverted extrovert, silly, clumsy, polite, tranquil, jokester, intense, childish, exccentric, personal, thinker, creative, logical, reasonable, crafty, optimistic, free spirit, nature loving, melancholic, confident, old soul, caring, artsy, talkative, wild child, silent, secluded, idealist, unrealistic, closed off, slightly weird, passionate, philosopher, tom boy and girly girl, sarcastic, intuitive, cynical, kind, stubborn, dreamer, in my head, absnt minded....described to the best of my abilties. Needless to say these extremes scare some people ^^.
Favorite Movie: The last Unicorn (German version, better voices)
Favorite Color: Blue
Favorite Style: Nostalgic and whimsical, long wide skirts, chiffon, lace etc. :)
Medieval Reenactment: I started in 2003. I literally dove right in, after one fair I already joined other reenactors. For the most part I have done viking reenactment, with some turk influence to find something that matches Eurasian ethnicity. But I have plans of giving other era's a try in the future. Just it is costly and a lot of work to sew everything and buy replica items ;).
Sewing and Knitting: I taught myself sewing for reenactment. I have never used patterns, I just used logic when creating clothing. I taught myself to knit because I wanted to make baby clothing for my son. I also always wanted to be able to knit unique clothing items and accessories.
Piercings: I like Piercings obviously. I have 15 - 6 earlobe piercings, 1 tragus, 1 helix, 1 forward helix, 1 navel, 1 septum, 2 nostril, 1 medusa (upper lip), 1 lower lip piercing. I'm pretty much done but I have considered a conch piercing or maybe another nostril piercing on the left because it is a bit uneven. I like delicate piercing jewelry, people only really notice the piercings close up. I have no plans of taking them out when I'm older. I never retired any of them. I'll be that Gypsy Grandma type with long flowing, grey hair.
Tattoos: I also like tattoos. Though I appreciate large tattoos on others, my plans only include delicate or small designs atm...with maybe a few medium sized designs for larger body parts. Current tattoos: 1 Kanji on lower back ('04), 2 butterflys on lower back ('07), 1 tree of life at the nape ('14), Runes near right thumb ('14), sun behind right ear, moon behind left ear, eye of horus on left hand, lorraine cross near left thumb, geometric shape bracelet running into philopher's stone alchemical formula on the left wrist top and bottom. My plans included collarbone tattoos (a small poem), forearm tattoo (herbs, dandelion), and maybe a few other spots...I want to try and balance it out well all over my body and generally chose designs to look like a subtle adornment rather than a large heavy image. We will see :)
Jewelry: I have a thing for handmade jewelry and semi precious, natural gemstones. Most of my jewelry I purchased on Etsy! I don't really buy at jewelry stores, but I own a few brand name items from Fossil and Marc by March Jacobs etc. I also wear fashion jewelry occasionally.
Hair Jewelry: I also have a hair jewelry collection of wooden hair sticks, combs, forks, hair slides etc. I like to create different bun styles and updos using it.
Handbags: I have a thing for handbags. Though I don't buy any high end designers, I do splurge on name brand bags sometimes. Guess it is my only vice. But I don't spend money much else haha.
Shoes: I like most styles, but I tend to go for non stiletto heels. I like low heels best but wear biggers heels sometimes too.
Not a fancy person: I just can't get myself to truly like fancy establishments and people. Fashionable - yes, high society - no. Overpriced restaurants and such just make me think about how many cheap meals I could buy with all that money. Give me a beer and play loud metal and I'm happy. I much rather drink with friends sitting around a camp fire and playing music than being at a fancy cocktail party. :/
Natural Health: My own health declined in my early to mid twenties...so eventually I had to change my approach on health. I did not want to accept these health issues and I actually got rid of them one by one. I share my experience on longhaired at heart to show there are so many things that can be done and help others.
Helpless optimist: I can't be pessimistic...it's a curse. I shrug my shoulders at problems...life is a learning process, no point in feling down. It is counter productive. The good things in life outweigh the bad and I appreciate them every day. I do what makes me happy. I guess, if you like depression, it could be very annoying living with me because I spend a lot of time singing and dancing around the house or playing childish games with my son (the other times I'm not 'there' so I guess it makes up for it)
Photography: My grandfather was a hobby photographer. That is probably what started my interest. I loved spending time in the dark room and developing photographs. When I take pictures, in a way I "document", so I can look back and remember a beautiful moment. Photographs of me are also some sort of documentation. When I look at images of myself taken around 2004 -10 I remember a very difficult time that changed me into who I am now. When my children grow up they can see everything their mom saw and did many, many years ago. I will show my grandchildren pictures of my younger fashion blogger self and smile :) And my soul will never forget who Emi was.
I live in my own world: I don't care if many don't like how I look, or my tattoos or piercings. Won't hire me because of that? Well, I would not want to work for a judgemental person anyway. Jobs with a lot of people are not my thing, so I don't work a demanding career, but less well paid job that leave my mind more freedom. Are my ideals unrealistic? Or is it a good way to filter bad from good people...I dress however I want, people sometimes stare at me, but let them, I am happy if I wear things I truly like. I don't like chliche's...the "too old for" anything argument doesn't fly with me. People often find my hobbies weird, I find theirs are non existant or bland. I don't judge people by how they look, I judge by character and a good heart. I will be any good and interesting person's true friend. Gossip and smalltalk are not my thing, let's get to the more important topics. Though many people may be bad, I see a lot more good in them and I like to inspire good thoughts. Innocence is in the mind, not anywhere else. I value true love, even if I'm never granted to enjoy it.
I'm rather the idealist that gets hurt, than the realist that hurts people.
Darkness/ Goth: I think many have the misconception that dark things equal depression. That Goth's are sad. I actually think it is healthy to acknowledge that dark things are just a part of life, and that we can only live in harmony if we don't fear this darkness. The night may be scary, but it can also be protection. Allowing melancholy and the occasional sad moment into your life does not make you depressed. It means you don't surpress your feelings and know how to appreciate the happy moments even more. Dark Art can be beautiful, just like dark colors, fog, dark forests etc. :)
I don't listen to metal because I want to break things, the white noise makes me feel good, the melodies and sounds are more complex. And mainstream music is usually not powerful enough to express how I feel about everything.
Beliefs: I'm not an atheist, but I'm not someone to live by a book either. I believe into naturally knowing good from bad. I believe that science and spirtuality harmonize. People see belief too much as a set of rules than a way of life and they lose sight of what is truly good. Improving character and continuous growth is very important in my eyes.

Angel Goose
Once upon a time, in the beautiful park. The sun was out, and the flowers grown. The weather was just right for the beautiful ducks and geese to come out to play.
While people taking pictures of these wonderful God-giving animals, the ducks and geese were enjoying their outdoors. Swimming in the water was a special daily exercise. They also been fed by humans. But then, a special goose came up from no where. Oh my! Where did he come from? He must have came from where the rest of the geese came from. They came from the lake.
Even though this goose look just like all the other geese. Light brown feathers with dark chocolate brown long necks, and those little eyes that can make a person's heart melt.
But there is a difference. This little angel goose, called Angel was handicapped. He hopped on his right foot, because his left foot was injured. And because of that, he was being mistreated. His heart was always in the right place, and he doesn't seemed to allow that to bother him.
But one day, his parents allowed him to go outside to play. But when he do, he would get teased. Sometimes it's the ducks. Other times, it's the other geese. They would say all kinds of cruel things to him like, "he can't swim, he's handicap." Or, "What's the matter? Your foot hanging by a thread?" They even made pirate jokes at him. "Arrrgh matey! Why is your foot hanging down?" And they would laugh and laugh and laugh.
That really hurt him so bad. He did not want to go out. He was sitting on the grass alone. Asking God, "What did I ever do to deserve this?" And he cried.
Then, a beautiful light came onto him. And deep down, Angel heard God's voice speaking to him.
"You are special. You are unigue. I know, I created you. Dry your eyes, and be you!"
Angel rose up, and felt a lot better. He knew that he was special, because God told him that he was. He went outside, and he told the ducks and geese that he is special, because God said so. They left him alone, and he spent the rest of the day. He spent the rest of the day enjoying food and the weather. He didn't care about his disability. And that is why he is an Angel Goose.

I've loved the range of colours (pinks, reds and mauves) that I've had from these plants. The peony-like blooms are fantastic and I've also had some single blooms which are equally beautiful. Only down side is that the flowers only last a day.
Thank you very much for your review. I am glad that you have been happy with your purchase and thank you so much for taking the time to let us know. I hope we can continue to be of service to you in the future.

Rethinking Australia Day
The central problem with Australia Day is marks the anniversary of an event that is so fundamentally contested that it fails as a day of unity. Marking as it does the anniversary of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, its meaning resonates with only a niche segment of the population. The description of British colonisation as invasion is highly debatable, but the very fact that it is debatable detracts from the unifying forces of the date. Whether or not it was invasion is a moot point - the the truth remains that the question is hotly contested.
It is wrong to suggest that the problem is a lack of Australian patriotism. Misdirected as it may have been, the events at Cronulla last month demonstrate that Australians can indeed find great pride in celebrating their nationalism. Apathy in response to Australia Day is not merely a post-modern globalised response to the slow death of the nation state. The underlying patriotism is there: the challenge is chanelling it into a healthy celebration of Australian achievement. Blatantly, January 26 is not the right day.
Okay, smartarse, then when should it be?
In the long term, the right day to celebrate Australia Day ought to be the day we vote to become a republic, logically completing our movement toward independence.
Until then, there is a dearth of appropriate dates. Perhaps most desirable is one which commemorates Australian Federation - an event which is fundamentally accepted by all rather than hotly contested - rather than Australian history of indeterminant length.
January 1, 1901 was the first day of the Australian Federation, and so theoretically seems a logical choice as "Federation Day", a substitute for Australia Day. There is, however, the practical difficulty of overlapping public holidays, essentially depriving us all of one public holiday a year, and the fact that new year's day is hardly the right time for a patriotic celebrations, unless it exists to prolong the previous night's hangover.
As a substitute, then, I offer you 9 May. On that day in 1901, the Australian Parliament met for the first time. At present, the day is completely unremarkable and the anniversary largely ignored. It is, though, a significant date in the history of the Australian Federation.
With a date like this, Australian achievement can be celebrated in a unified spirit, without the gnawing of the conscience which greets many of us in celebrating Australia Day. True, an approach like this does paper over the cracks of honestly appraising Australian history. That debate ought to run its course, but the debate should be independent of the celebration of national identity that Australia Day should represent.

I have also long held the belief that January 26 is an inappropriate date for our national holiday.
I think most Australians take greater pride in Anzac Day (Although that is a date we share with New Zealand) than they do in Australia Day.
As your fellow Republican, I agree that the day we become a republic (something I believe is inevitable, even if it does take another 20 years) would be a good date to make our national holiday. However, given the lack of consensus over January 26, you can imagine the uproar from monarchists - already sore over losing a future referendum - if we then moved to make that date our national holiday.
As for the dates you suggested instead: you're right in saying that January 1 is unsuitable. May 9 is a good idea, and shows you've thought well outside the square, but aren't we meant to be spreading the public holidays throughout the year? May 9 comes only two weeks after Anzac Day, so I'm not sure it would work.
On another topic, do you really think we can call the events at Cronulla a display of "nationalism". Sure, many of the locals at Cronulla were waving the Australian flag proudly, but in doing so they were directing their anger at their fellow Australians, including people with dark skin who just happened to get in the way. I know you qualified your statement by saying it was misdirected, but I'd argue it probably wasn't nationalism at all - they may have thought it was, but it wasn't Australian nationalism anyway.
But that's a debate for another day...
Happy Australia Day,

I'm busy May 9th (I promised my cousin we'd burn some flags together), buuttt according to my diary May 10th is free, does that work?

May 9th - Horrible idea.
F*ck history. We're little over 200 years old. We weren't discovered, we didn't fight for our independence (I'm NOT getting into a sematic arguement about whether or not we have it already or not), we were established.
F*ck politicans. Commemorate the first sitting of Parliament? In a country where 4% of the population are members of a poltical party?
F*ck the racists - some disturbing photos came out of Cronulla, among them the ultimate in un-Australian Behavior - people spilling their beer as they moved about in a crowd.
I saw a cartoon, I think it was in today's Fin Review, that had two people sitting on a picnic blanket, and one says to the other "What are we celebrating exactly", the other replies "Not working". That WORKS for me.
We're a sunburnt nation, a majority of who's people cling to the coastlines. We're defined by the summer. You just proposed moving Australia Day into Autum. Do you know what it'd be like hosting a BBQ in May in Canberra? I dread the concept.
Someone asked me yesterday what they were supposed to be doing to mark Australia Day. I gestured, with my tongs, to the lamb and steak on my BBQ, the setup in my back yard, and then waved away a fly with those same tongs. They then said that was all very well for me to be kept busy so, tending to the BBQ, preparing salads and icing the beer, but what were THEY to do. I pointed, again with my tongs, to the deck chair in which they sat, the Chardonnay in their hand, and the radio, playing Triple J's hottest 100 countdown.
Celebrate - for that's Australia Day to me.

The anniversary of a vote to become a republic will be a non-event for the main national day. It will be even less unifying than January the 26th.

White Europeans celebrating Australia day on the 26th is like seeing Jews dancing in the streets on Easter...commemorating the day they killed Christ.
Why celebrate a day which commemorates criminal behaviour (be it the deaths of native peoples or prophets) in the first place?
Couldn't we have a national 'Sorry' day where all the Europeans supply indigenous Australians with peace offerings while the Jews finally accept responsibility for massacring Christ.

Spot on, Ari.
Celebrating Australia Day is like Americans celebrating Columbus Day.
No one calls the the Fourth of July 'invasion day'...
We ought to have a national day everyone can spend drinking beer together rather than arguing about colonisation. Well, we're halfway there.
You don't see US Presidents calling for revision of the highschool history curriculum in their Independence Day address.

Ehud, On your "sorry day" I will be certainly making burnt offerings of aboriginal flags to "indigenous" persons. Could be quite fun.
Australia Day does NOT celebrate any criminal behaviour. Perhaps your eyesight is starting to glaze over? Time to change hands maybe?

- Daniel said...
To John Lee
At the risk of seeming pedantic I want to say that Australia Day is nothing like your 'Columbus Day' and more like Thanksgiving in the US. They both mark the arrival of a permantent settlement (mind you there is a big difference between free settlers and convicts!). Still you have got me thinking - do we have a 'Cook Day' for the alleged 'discoverer' of Australia? Mothy will be happy with a day that everyone can cook on...

18:02 19th March 2011
Town were held to a stalemate this afternoon against a resolute Swindon outfit. The Terriers hit the bar twice and had numerous other chances to win the game, however, the Robins held on for a valuable point in their fight for survival.
Both Jordan Rhodes and Alan Lee hit the bar as Town searched for a goal; despite the draw it meant Town extend their unbeaten run - their best for 91 years.
Lee Clark made three changes to the side that beat Brentford on Tuesday night with the most notable of those been the introduction of new signing Danny Ward who made his home debut.
Elsewhere, Gary Naysmith replaced Stephen Jordan at left-back and Lee Novak replaced Benik Afobe who dropped to the bench.
Town almost gifted Swindon a goal in the opening minute when Jack Hunt carelessly gave the ball away to Matt Ritchie 30 yards out. The midfielder attacked the retreating Town defence but failed to test Alex Smithies in the Town goal.
The Terriers responded well to their opening scare and Peter Clarke went close in the third minute, but his header from a Gary Roberts corner went narrowly wide.
In the 8th minute of the game Town struck David Lucas' crossbar through Jordan Rhodes following a well directed cross from debutant Danny Ward. Rhodes stooped well to get on the end of Ward's cross from the left and was unlucky to see his effort rebound off the Robins crossbar.
Town continued to pile on the pressure and it took a last minute diving block from Andy Frampton to deny Roberts from 8 yards out.
BOOKING - Scott Arfield received the first caution of the game in the 17th minute when he recklessly brought down Mike Grella.
Lee Clark's men had a lot of the ball during the first twenty minutes; however, they were finding it hard to break down a resolute Robins defence.
David Lucas kept the scores level in the 25th minute when he produced a fine diving save to deny a Roberts effort from the edge of the area. Following an excellent piece of passing play Roberts received the ball twenty yards and arrowed an effort goal bound, which had Lucas diving at full stretch.
BOOKING - Gary Roberts received the second booking of the game in the 26th minute when he was deemed to have dived under a collision with Grella in the Swindon box.
The Terriers went close again in the 28th minute when Tuesday night's match winner - Peter Clarke - had a header cleared of the line by Swindon's Captain Jonathan Douglas.
The Robins defence had to react sharply in the 35th minute to deny Jordan Rhodes a shooting opportunity; the striker turned neatly in the box but was unable to get a shot when Scott Cuthbert intervened expertly.
Town were creating chance after chance during the opening half an hour and went close again in the 37th minute when Jamie McCombe rose highest to meet a Gary Naysmith cross; sadly his header skimmed Swindon's left upright with Lucas rooted to the spot.
Neither manager made a change as the half kicked-off with Town playing from right to left.
Town escaped narrowly in the 48th minute when Matt Ritchie struck the post of Smithies goal following good play from Calvin Andrew. Andrew had done well to shrug of the attentions of McCombe and get to the by-line, before neatly laying off the ball to Ritchie. From 10 yards the winger's mishit shot rebounded of Town's post with Naysmith clearing the immediate danger.
BOOKING - Swindon received their first caution of the game in the 49th minute when Michael Timlin hauled down Danny Ward as the winger tried to break.
Swindon were presented with an excellent opportunity to test Alex Smithies in the 56th when Naysmith fouled Andrews 20 yards out. Alan Sheehan stood over the dead ball but his effort was well dealt with by Town's 'keeper who easily pushed the ball over the bar. The resulting corner was well cleared by Ward.
SUB - Lee Clark made his first change of the game replacing Jordan Rhodes with Danny Cadamarteri in the 60th minute. As a result, 'Cads' made his 350th career appearance.
A good five minute period of pressure almost broke the deadlock for Town. Firstly, some excellent footwork from substitute Danny Cadamarteri allowed the winger to float in ball into Swindon's six yard box, which Ward went close to connecting with. Minutes later David Prutton almost skewed a defensive clearance into his own goal; however, luckily for the former Leeds man Lucas was alive to the danger and caught the ball with ease.
SUB - Paul Hart responded to Lee Clark's change replacing Mike Grella with Kevin Amankwaah in the 62nd minute.
Lee Novak had a superb opportunity to open the scoring courtesy of a wickedly hit cross from the left by Ward. From six yards, all Novak had to do was find the target but his header went well wide of Lucas' goal.
BOOKING - Swindon's Alan Sheehan received his first caution of the game following a cynical block on Danny Ward in the 70th minute.
SUB - Town made their second change of the game in the 73rd minute when Lee Novak came off to be replaced by Benik Afobe.
SUB - Swindon made their second change of the game minutes later when Matt Ritchie left the field to be replaced by Michael Rose.
SUB - As the game entered its closing stages Alan Lee replaced Danny Ward. Lee Clark's change saw 'Cads' move out on to the right wing and Lee partner Afobe upfront.
SUB - Paul Hart made his final change of the game in the 86th minute when Alan Sheehan was replaced with Lecsinel Jean-Francois.
After failing to create any real clear cut chances for around twenty minutes Town went close to nicking it in injury time. A right footed cross from Kilbane was excellently attacked by Alan Lee whose header clipped the cross bar as it went out for a dead ball.
Lee's effort sparked Town into life and they twice thought they had opened the scoring within a minute. Firstly, Peter Clarke thought his effort from six yards had crossed the line and then McCombe with a similar effort thought he had scored - however both were deemed not over the line by referee Sarginson.
Town's team (4-4-2):
Alex Smithies; Gary Naysmith, Peter Clarke (c), Jamie McCombe, Jack Hunt; Gary Roberts, Scott Arfield, Kevin Kilbane, Danny Ward (Alan Lee 83); Lee Novak (Benik Afobe 73), Jordan Rhodes (Danny Cadamarteri 60)
Substitutes: Ian Bennett, Joey Gudjonsson, Liam Ridehalgh, Tom Clarke.
Town: Arfield 17, Roberts 26,
Robins: Timlin 49, Sheehan 70,
Gate: 13,907
Away: 292

In Pakistan things do not take much time when it comes to changes, especially when it is about friends turning foes or foes turning into greater foes. Take the current situation of the country; it is yet another manifestation following a cascade of explosive scandals that has left the media and judiciary of the country at each other's throats. Not long ago, the judges and journalists were working as allies to expose the corrupt and hold the powerful accountable for their actions.
The still unfolding drama of lurid corruption charges against the son of populist Supreme Court Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhary followed by the paid and planted appearance of billionaire accuser Malik Riaz in a television program very clearly marks the end of this shared crusade. The accuser who is actually a real estate tycoon claims to have given $3.7 million worth of favors to Chief Justice Chaudhry's son in the hope of waiving off the cases of his disputed properties.
Apart from the courtroom war that is going between the accuser and accused, the case introduces an interesting aspect of waging war between prominent media personnel who with their bare-knuckle debates and spicy conspiracy theories have been forming the opinion of people for over a decade now. But all this is rather an obvious view of the entire situation. Behind the veil there is rather a covert campaign operating.
Consider the situation: the country is currently being governed by a democratically elected government which is good for nothing. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani has already been convicted and removed by the apex court and with over four years of their governance, the condition of Pakistan and its citizens is at the lowest ebb ever. The only bleak hope of a positive change for people was either associated with the media or the judiciary. But with the corruption of judges and media personnel unfolding, their credibility is definitely going to experience a jolt.
So, what is yet again the only thing that the people can look forward to in such times to despair? Obviously, the military forces, an institute that has been successful of reinstating its trust level and national pride with the stance it has maintained by not restoring NATO supply routes. Even analysts in Pakistan fear that with judges and journalists both in dock the possibility of military intervention cannot be sidelined.
Whether or not the military of Pakistan intervenes in the political affairs of the state or not, one thing has become quite clear – the citizens of this country won't ever to able to regain trust on democracy and the institutions that strive for it….or at least they claim so.

text: 1. Fusion-io Confusion Will somebody please clear up all the confusion at Fusion-io ( FIO)? We can't get no relief! The solid state memory drive maker informed investors Wednesday that two of its founders -- CEO David Flynn and CMO Rick White -- were jumping ship to start another venture. Shares of the company, which employs NAND flash technology in its products and counts Facebook and Apple among its key customers, lost 19% on the unexpected departures, finishing the day at $14.60. The company went public in June 2011 and traded as high as $41.69 in November 2011. Director Shane Robison will succeed Flynn, effective immediately, in the company's corner office. And despite their abrupt exits, Flynn and White will both remain members of the board and will serve in advisory roles to the company for the next 12 months. In a statement on the company's Web site, Scott Sandell, lead independent director of the Fusion-io Board, said, "What the hell just happened? I turn my back for a second and these jokers are gone quicker than the last beer in the cooler!" All right, all right. We're kidding. He didn't say that. In all honesty, Sandell took the high road and thanked the pair for their "important role in taking the company public and developing a strong framework from which Fusion-io can grow to the next level." More important than Sandell's platitudes was the company's announcement that the changes had nothing to do with the "integrity" of the company's financial statements or accounting practices. It also reaffirmed the financial outlook it provided last month for its fiscal fourth quarter. Unfortunately, none of those reassurances were enough to sway Wall Street's pencil pushers who ran from the company almost as fast as its founders. Analysts at both Sterne Agee and Craig-Hallum cut their ratings on the stock from buy to hold due to the turmoil at the top. Meanwhile, ABR Investment Strategy's Brad Gastworth hung onto his "Secular Short" rating on Fusion-io shares. Gastworth told Barron's that he wasn't surprised to see a short term shellacking of the stock in reaction to the management change. Furthermore, he believes "there are structural issues facing Fusion-IO longer term" as well as "an onslaught of new competition coming in the second half of 2013 and into 2014." Upon further thought, maybe that clears up all the confusion. Flynn and White saw trouble ahead at the flash technology provider and were off in a flash!

Cold Words
That night, I dreamt of Tiger. We were waltzing beneath the stars and gazing deep into one another's eyes conveying a strong emotion that wasn't hatred. The scene was serene and tranquil until Tiger leant down and kissed me, at which point everything became wild and exciting.
I woke up, head spinning and almost laughed aloud for joy. But then I realised it had only been a dream and that Tiger would probably never look at me as if I were special, let alone treat me that way.
Unhappy and resigned, I cursed unrealistic dreams before washing, dressing and heading down to breakfast.
My bad mood failed to fade and it took a lot of effort to act calm and like everything was okay in the dining room.
"You sure we won't poison you?" I muttered in the Phoenix Prince's ear as I passed him to sit beside Charity at the table that had been set up for the younger royals.
Tiger looked bewildered by my seeming change in attitude towards him but then smiled exultantly and replied "If anyone were to make an attempt on my life, my parents would ensure they died a long and painful death."
Charity looked appalled by Tiger's words but Coal (the other stranger at the breakfast table) looked unfazed by them as if he'd heard worse said. Terrence gazed at Tiger in awe, evidently fascinated by a High Prince's indifference to politeness (which made sense because he would be our High Prince in four years. I could imagine him approaching Tiger and asking him to teach him some inappropriate language.
But my response was even more unexpected. Even I was surprised as I replied "But there'd be nothing your parents could do if your enemy was successful: you'd still be dead."
Charity looked shocked then disappointed. Coal's eyes widened as if he couldn't believe his ears. Terrence, on the other hand, gazed at me with open admiration.
"Score for the Dolphins," he whispered, grinning.
I felt sick. Suddenly, I couldn't bear to be sitting at the table. I picked up a peach and stood up.
"Excuse me," I said to the bemused-looking three who weren't Tiger. With that, I walked off.
I stormed into the Palace gardens and found somewhere to eat my peach.
When I realised where I was, I laughed loudly and humourlessly at the sick irony of it. I was eating my breakfast where Henry and Vanessa had sat, after just exchanging unfriendly words with a Phoenix.
Charity came out, looking anxious. She spotted me and hurried over.
"What's wrong, Selena?!" she cried. "Did you decide you wanted to hate Phoenixes after all? I've never seen you act like that before: so cold! I'm scared!"
I chucked the stone into the undergrowth and stood up.
And then, I sighed.
"I'm sorry," I said quietly. "I was in a horrendous mood..."
"No, it was more than that," Charity interrupted. "I could tell. What was it?"
I looked up and gazed into Charity's aquamarine eyes. She gazed back steadily, conveying concern, comfort and understanding.
I looked away. "You said last night that you didn't care how I felt about Tiger," I stated.
"Well, the truth is... I'm attracted to him."
"Oh," Charity said, brow furrowing. "Oh."
"Last night I had a dream. We danced and then he kissed me. I woke up and my memory shattered the dream."
"Oh Selena." Charity sounded sympathetic. But what could sympathy do? Sympathy wouldn't make Tiger ask for us to court. Sympathy couldn't heal the wounds that had been inflicted on my heart. No, sympathy could only hang there in the silence and remind me why people should show it.
I walked past Charity, who was frozen to the spot, saying "I'm going to prepare myself for my duties. I shall see you later."
She didn't respond. She just stood there, staring unseeingly at a leaf on the ground.
I felt numb inside as I returned to my bedchamber.
