Mining Technology & Innovation Summit 2012: Satisfying the Hunger for Natural Resources
The global demand for commodities has protected Australia and New Zealand from economic uncertainty in recent years.
Bringing together senior mining executives, consultants and solution providers, the marcus evans Mining Technology & Innovation Summit 2012, taking place in Perth, Australia, 6 - 8 June, offers mining companies an intimate atmosphere for highly focused discussions on the key drivers and issues currently shaping the industry.
The honourable John Howard, 25th Prime Minister of Australia will be present, to discuss leadership in the new century.

During the Summit, he will examine the role of world leaders, and how to handle the growing concerns of globalisation, the environment and threats to international security.
The premium forum will provide indispensible insights from industry leaders, such as Brian Hearne, COO at Xstrata Zinc, a global mining company and the world's largest exporter of thermal coal. Hearne has 23 years of experience in the mining sector and will share his views on preserving sustainability.
Other speakers include Michelle Ash, GM of Operational Excellence at MMHG, who will share her views on solving diversity issues in mining, and Sean Freeman, COO at NSL Consolidated, who will talk on managing the sensitivities of compliance from development to production.
The Mining Technology & Innovation Summit 2012 programme will include presentations on engaging with local communities to provide socio-economic benefits, recalibrating recruitment tactics to bait a younger workforce, catalysing the need for automation and increasing safety and reliability processes. The Summit provides a vigorous agenda of keynote and case study presentations, pre-arranged business meetings, workshops and round table discussions for COOs, Heads of Mining Operations, Directors and Managers of Mines.
The marcus evans attendee-centric approach is designed to ensure all participants obtain maximum value from their participation whilst providing strategic intelligence essential to staying ahead in today's constantly evolving and competitive marketplace.
An opportunity for mining executives to meet with key industry solution providers and network with ultimate thinkers in the industry, the Mining Technology & Innovation Summit 2012 is one not to be missed.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hi I have recently started to get a dull ache in my left hip. Its difficult to pinpoint, but it radiates from my waist area ( left hand side) around the back of my glutes. Its not too bad when I run, but is agony afterwards. Today my left ankle also feels sore. I bought new shoes 2 months ago, and did a Marathon in June. I havnt done much running since then, and what I have done has been on a treadmill. Im not very patient with things like this!! I just want to run. Any ideas?
Sounds remarkably like something I was dealing with after my Marathon.
I started with a pain in my thigh which significantly shortened my stride and after some work from my physio all that remained was a pain in my hip. It was hard to find the spot where it exactly hurt sometimes it felt like it was right in the joint other times more around the side, every time I think I've found the spot it seems to move on.
As it turned out I had an imbalance in the way I run. My pelvis was rotating in an abnormal way and my feet weren't strong enough.
I'm on a course of core and feet strengthening exercises to make sure everything is all in balance again.
I also changed my running style to a forefoot strike and this has got rid of my hip pain all together.
I'd recommend Eric Orton's book the Cool Impossible. It's a bit weird in the way it's written but even the basic exercises have started to have their desired effect!
Good luck with it
Thank you for that, I shall get the book, may even invest in some physio. Ive been sat down since my run this morning, and struggled to get up to take the dog for a walk! but once I got moving it was ok.......ish!
That's exactly how I was. Sore after a run and then stiff and painful after sitting still for a while.
I'd wholly recommend some good physio. It will shorten your injury time and if you pay attention and ask questions you can learn a lot about your body and it's injuries
I will research the options and hopefully I will be ready for my next marathon. Its on 22nd September, I think its just going to be a case of get to the end and forget the time...that's pretty much what I always do!
Get sorted by a physio, or do like I did and ignore it and take years of it getting worse before spending a fortune to get sorted out and running pain free. It is probably a muscle imbalance that is causing your problems and if left, all the muscles tighten up and get weak.
I was just looking online at the cost of physio and thinking " too expensive" but after reading your post.... I will probably bite the bullet and get some treatment
katie - definitely at least have one physio appointment to seek advice. I've had a similar problem and am also on a programme of glute and core strengthening exercises.
Physio here I come!.............

33. Offering to InvestorsBy Roger Bryan
Investors form the core part of the business plan. After all, it is the investors who provide the required capital for execution of the plans that you draft on paper. Hence, it is essential that you include a detailed analysis about the offering to investors.
In this detailed analysis you should ideally include:
1) Capital Requirement – This section deals with the amount of money required to put the proposed plan in action.
2) Usage of Funds – This is where you elaborate the strategy and areas where you plan to use your money and the manner in which you plan to use it. It is essential that you project a realistic and clear picture of this aspect.
3) Structure of the deal – In this area you elaborate the proposed structure of the deal i.e. how much outlay you want in liquid assets and how much in stocks and likewise.
4) Risk factors – As the name suggests, here you elaborate various risks associated with the venture.
5) Expected Returns – The expected return on the investment according to projections is included in this section.
6) Exit Strategy – Elaborate a possible exit strategy for investors. It boosts the confidence of investors if there is a plan of action available in case things do not work out.

The basketball is a worn brown in his worn hands. The same ball, the same hands, that made magic twenty years ago... but in some way they aren't. Time has erased things, changed things, shaped things. Little things, like the new wooden floor he stands on, and big ones, like the heavy brace around his knee. The ball and his hands have been affected, dragged down by the weight of the world, deflated and defeated. The spark of familiarity between two friends has fizzled. He dribbles a few times, hoping the ball will speak to his fingers with the easy rhythm he remembers. He shoots with the arc that was praised by all who saw him shoot... twenty years ago. High school. In high school, he'd been on the up-and-up. The boy who was going somewhere, who had been on his way to the top, the one who had fallen before reaching the peak and broken more than his bones. It was a fluke, he knows, no one's fault.
But he cannot help whispering, as he rolls the ball toward the same old bleachers, "You've given up on me. I'd never give up on you." It is then that his players saunter out of the locker room, pushing and shoving and joking around. They take for granted everything that can be stolen so quickly. It is, after all, only basketball.
Next colour is white. :)

|Kevan Miller being examined for 'upper-body' injury
|10.20.14 at 12:56 pm ET
WILMINGTON — Bruins coach Claude Julien said Monday after practice that defenseman Kevan Miller is being examined for what the team termed an upper body injury following a fight Saturday in the 4-0 win in Buffalo.
"He's just being looked at by our doctors," Julien said. "We will probably have more [Tuesday]."
Julien also said he likes the way Seth Griffith has looked early in the season and would probably benefit from playing with the top line of David Krejci and Milan Lucic, as was the case Monday in practice.
"I think anytime a player can play with some experienced players, it gives you a little bit more confidence," Julien said. "Guys are pretty good with helping guys through and giving them the opportunity to get accustomed to our team, get accustomed to his line so it certainly helps. I think that's what Seth has been doing right now, trying to soak up as much as he can."
The key right now to allowing Griffith to gain some experience at the NHL level is Simon Gagne. The 34-year-old veteran played with Lucic and Krejci on Saturday night in Buffalo. He also has skated on the fourth line in games, as was the case again in practice Monday. Julien said he liked what he saw from Gagne on Saturday night.
"He was OK. What you saw today is probably what you've been seeing all along, a little bit of moving around," Julien said. "He can play on that line, he play on the fourth line. I think he's made the fourth line a pretty good line. If Seth is going to play, he needs to play on one of those lines right now. If he's going to gain some experience, I think it's with those guys. We can alternate Simon in those positions and that's what we've been doing so far."
All of this, naturally, results from the fact that the Bruins are still searching for an answer at right wing on their top line and Julien is trying to find the right combination early in the season while still being patient with young players like Griffith, Ryan Spooner, Matt Fraser and Craig Cunningham.
"You have to be a little bit patient," Julien said "Fortunately, today for the players, you have to be able to bring some young guys in. There was a time when they really had to pay their dues and learn the game in the minors before they even got a shot. But in today's game, you have to bring some young guys in for reasons like the cap and everything else. So you have to be able to live with some of the learning curves they have to go through and, at the same time, as a coach you try to minimize those so it doesn't cost your team. That's the balance you have to have in letting a young guy gain some experience and get better."
It's homecoming week against the Bruins as they host Joe Thornton and the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night at the Garden. On Thursday, Johnny Boychuk makes his first return to Boston since being traded to the Islanders in the preseason.
|Seth Griffith gets work on top line with David Krejci, Milan Lucic
|10.20.14 at 10:57 am ET
WILMINGTON — Seth Griffith was recalled Monday and was immediately placed on the top line in practice with David Krejci and Milan Lucic.
Other notables from Monday included Matt Fraser and Simon Gagne taking turns on the burgundy line featuring Gregory Campbell and Daniel Paille.
The second and third lines remained intact, with Patrice Bergeron centering Brad Marchand and Reilly Smith while Carl Soderberg centered Chris Kelly and Loui Eriksson.
The defense pairings consisted of Zdeno Chara and Dougie Hamilton, Dennis Seidenberg and Matt Bartkowski, and Torey Krug and Adam McQuaid.
The Bruins dressed just six defensemen in practice as Kevan Miller was absent. He left Saturday's game following a fight and did not return with what the team termed an upper-body injury.
|Jarome Iginla 'understands' why Bruins couldn't bring him back: 'There are cap issues'
|10.13.14 at 7:39 pm ET
Jarome Iginla holds no grudges against the Bruins. As a matter of fact, he said after Monday's 2-1 win over his former employer that he's grateful for the one year he spent in Boston.
"It was definitely a little bit different," said Iginla, who had no shots or assists in 17 minutes and 20 shifts. "I had one of the best [years] of my career, one of the most exciting years last year, one of favorite years, the whole experience coming to this. I made some good friends that are on their side playing with the team, and we had a very good team. So it was a little different, for sure. It hasn't been too long, it feels almost like you've just been gone for a long vacation, but it's part of the game.
"Coming from the other side, once the game starts, it's business. We were looking for our first win, and we knew they were trying to get things going for themselves. But it's a bit different on the ice. You wouldn't want to play all the time against that team, but it's a great place and it's fun to come back."
After 30 goals and 31 assists in 78 games on Boston's top line, Iginla left Boston for Denver and signed a three-year, $16 million deal with the Avalanche. On Monday, he acknowledged the real economics the Bruins were facing.
"Well, I understand it," Iginla said. "I was hoping at the time, before free agency opened, that it could work out, but you know there are cap issues. With my family, we wanted to be able to make sure, I'm going to play more than one year, and I didn't want to just play one year then next year [the Bruins] have even less [cap] room. With all the good, young guys they have coming up, they've got to keep room for them and keep signing them.
"It's a good problem to have, though, if you're the Bruins. But I understood why and figured if I was going to move my family, it would be the time now, before they keep getting more entrenched in school and liking it even more, and then trying to move the following year. I've got a great opportunity in Colorado. I'm excited to be here, and it's a good, young, fun team. But like I said, before that with the Bruins, it was one of the best experiences of my career. I understand why, and like I said, their young guys played, [Torey] Krug, Dougie Hamilton, [Reilly] Smith, they played great. You've got to have room for them, Looch, the list goes on. So I understand."
|Bruins react to Johnny Boychuk trade and its 'reality check' impact going forward
|10.05.14 at 10:41 am ET
With the season opening at home Wednesday against the Flyers, the Bruins don't have long to be upset about the loss of one of their best teammates.
Still, even coach Claude Julien said after Saturday's preseason finale that the team will take a little time to get over "the sting" of losing Johnny Boychuk ($3.37 million) to the harsh realities of today's salary cap NHL.
Torey Krug, just 23, now understands just how important managing the salary cap is for each team after spending most of the summer without a contract because GM Peter Chiarelli couldn't fit him under the cap. Krug and Reilly Smith had to wait all summer and through most of camp to sign their $1.4 million deals because the team couldn't sign them.
"[It's] another lesson in the business for me," said Krug. "I learned a few things this summer for sure, and it's always going to be part of it forever as long as this game exists and the cap situation exists in this sport, so it's tough to see him go for sure."
Several defensemen will have to pick up the slack for Boychuk and will have the opportunity to step right in and play a bigger role in place of the 30-year-old who was considered one of the heart-and-soul parts of the B's Stanley Cup run in 2011 and their finals appearance in 2013.
Adam McQuaid, Matt Bartkowski and Krug all are younger than Boychuk and all likely will get chances to play alongside Dennis Seidenberg on Boston's No. 2 D-pairing.
"I mean, it's been like this the last few years, so it doesn't really change anything," Seidenberg said. "For me, it's just trying to play wherever they put me and trying to do it well."
"I didn't know that — there was some talk about different things and stuff, but I was pretty much shocked," McQuaid said in reacting Saturday. "I don't know, I guess maybe we all just kind of had that hope in the back of our minds that somehow we could all stay. He's a guy that's a huge part of this team and for me a guy that always put a smile on my face every day. Always came to the rink in a good mood and was cracking jokes. I think I've played seven pro seasons and six have been with Johnny, so we've been through a lot together. He's a guy that — I don't think it's really sunk in quite yet — but a guy that will be sorely missed."
|Claude Julien: Johnny Boychuk trade 'stings for everybody'
|10.04.14 at 11:06 pm ET
Claude Julien had to process the loss of Johnny Boychuk just like everyone else. And it wasn't easy.
"I don't think my thoughts differ from anybody else," Julien said after his team's 4-3 shootout loss to the Red Wings Saturday night. "I think we're all disappointed to see him leave. As I mentioned, Peter [Chiarelli] eluded to that in his press conference. It stings for everybody. He was a good player, he was a good person, very well liked.
"Unfortunately our game is in that position where sometimes we're forced to make those unpopular decisions. For a coaching staff, we'll miss him like everybody else. But we have a job to do, and we feel we have a lot of good players here that we can certainly overcome this. And that's just the way it goes, and part of hockey, and part of a tough day. You hope we'll be able to turn the page here and by the time we start the season we'll be ready to go."
That position, of course, is a result of a salary cap squeeze, brought on – in part – with the signing of David Krejci. Now, the 30-year-old Boychuk (due $3.4 million in the final year of his three-year contract) will head to the Islanders while Julien is left to find a replacement to pair with Dennis Seidenberg.
He has several options, starting with Matt Bartkowski. Adam McQuaid, Dougie Hamilton and Torey Krug will also be asked to carry a bigger load.
"I think there's no doubt that the experience those young guys got was valuable," Julien said. "But at the same time, we've got to remember that we've got Seidenberg, we've got McQuaid back in our lineup, which is two more veterans. That certainly helps that youth maybe not be so young. So those are things. But the guys that got that experience ' you're talking about Bartkowski, talking about Krug, you know Dougie Hamilton. I think those things will certainly pay off for us."
|Charlie Jacobs on a window of opportunity for Bruins: 'I do believe we'll be right back there'
|05.20.14 at 2:55 pm ET
With a talented core and a young group of complimentary players in the fold, Bruins management and ownership feels there won't be a drop-off in performance for while.
As a matter of fact, owner Jeremy Jacobs, son Charlie and team president Cam Neely said Tuesday during their season-ending media availability that there's no reason to think the Bruins aren't poised for another run at the Stanley Cup in 2015.
"[There's] a tremendous amount of confidence in our both on-ice leadership and off-the-ice leadership," Charlie Jacobs said. "A lot of character in our dressing room, and it starts with Zee [Zdeno Chara], but listen ' there are a lot of complimentary pieces, and when you consider Patrice [Bergeron] and Krech [David Krejci], and we may have lost something with Andy Ference but we picked it up with Jarome [Iginla]. And then there's a lot of character and leadership, and they held each other accountable, and you saw in your exit interviews ' they all felt as though they maybe didn't necessarily play their best but they let the team down, and that meant more to them than, say, their individual stats. And I think that speaks volumes about the mentality in the locker room itself, and that's what you aspire to have."
The Bruins reportedly did suffer a bit of a hit Tuesday with word that assistant general manager Jim Benning has been named general manager of the Vancouver Canucks, replacing the fired Mike Gillis.
"In terms of our organizational leadership, I think with Cam [Neely] and Peter [Chiarelli] and Don Sweeney and Jim [Benning], they've done a great job of really trying to assemble a mixture of both veteran and some young leadership to bring us back to the promised-land," Charlie Jacobs added. "And you need that mix. You need the right mix. We maybe erred a bit, a little bit, in terms of having too many inexperienced defensemen. If you think about it, really only two of them ' two veterans on the back line this postseason. But as my dad referred to, that will pay dividends as you progress moving forward. So listen, I have great faith in both aspects. I do believe we'll be right back there. I expect that we'll be back there. Stranger things have happened, but I hope we start right out of the gate where we left off in March, not necessarily at the end of April."
|Jeremy Jacobs has no intention of selling Bruins to buy NFL's Buffalo Bills: 'I kind of like where I am'
|05.20.14 at 2:14 pm ET
When Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs expressed interest in buying the Buffalo Bills in April, after the passing of longtime owner Ralph Wilson, Bruins fans wondered if that meant the end of his stewardship of the NHL franchise.
Tuesday, during a 25-minute address to reporters at TD Garden, Jacobs made it clear that he has no such intentions and is quite happy as the owner of the "Original Six" franchise.
"Well, I can't buy the Bills, because I own the Bruins," Jacobs said, referring to the NFL by-laws that prohibit owning teams in different cities. "That's not a bad place to be. I kind of like where I am."
Jacobs is among the wealthiest and most successful businessmen in the world, owning the Delaware North Companies, with an individual net worth of approximately $3.1 billion. Jacobs was initially among a group of several Western New York businessmen reported to be interested in the Bills. Another businessman reportedly interested was real estate tycoon Donald Trump.
Jacobs has owned the Bruins since 1975. Jacobs also represents the club on the NHL's Board of Governors and serves on its Executive Committee. At the NHL Board of Governors meeting in June 2007, Jacobs was elected Chairman of the Board, replacing the Calgary Flames' Harley Hotchkiss.
Jacobs made changes in management of the Bruins, with the retirement of veteran team president Harry Sinden from active management of the team into an advisory capacity. New management included Peter Chiarelli and head coach Claude Julien. Cam Neely, who was on the dais Tuesday with Jacobs and Jacobs' son Charlie, was also lured back to the new organization and subsequently named as President of the team.
Since 2008, the Bruins have made playoffs every year, winning the Stanley Cup in 2011, reaching the Cup finals in 2013 and winning the Presidents' Trophy this past season as the team with the best record and most points (117).

No title, no story, no words.
He sat in front of the screen.
Once again it was empty of words. A fresh start. A blank canvas. A clean slate. Ah thats all crap, he was stuck again and he knew it. And not just stuck on how to continue. Oh no, wasn't even started and that was worse. Not like he had written himself into a corner like the perverbular painter. Ended a chapter with no way out for the hero. Or trapped in a circular logic loop. No he hadn't even started. Not even a title of all things.
But then titles are all important. Aren't they? They are and he knows it. The title is everything after all. A poor title and who would want to read it? "The World History Through the Examination of Worms" is quite unlikely to be read. Ok mabey a few overly curious zoology students might go a chapter or two. Actually it is quite unlikely to be published and threrefore read (or partially before being tossed) only by a long suffering editor. Or webmaster.
So he still sat in front of an empty screen.
He needed a title. A title to catch the eye. Fan the flames of imagination. To literally command the beholders' mind to want to read the tale. Something catchy. Edgy. Poetic. Poetic! Where did that come from? Oh god he was slipping into desperation! Get away! Get away from the screen and make yourself a tea or all hope is lost!
Into the kitchen and kettle in hand, he looked out the window. Standing undecided he wavered between a walk to the coffee shop or making a tea. Tea won and the kettle went on.
He sat again and looked at the screen.
Ok he was going about this all wrong. It wasn't a title he needed. OK he would need a title but not yet. He needed a tale. A story. An epic novel of love lost and found, intrigue and integrity, of Heros triumphant and Villians undone!
He sat and looked at the screen.
Blank. An empty white page. No black letters forming succulent words in a noble narrative. Only a lonely blinking cursor. Waiting patiently. So patiently for the stunning tale or riveting story to come forth.
Or is it?
Perhaps it's blinking is equal to a tapping foot. The tapping foot of someone's Mom waiting with hands on hips for one to do as one is told, and right now mister! Perhaps it is the blinking that is diastracting him from his sweeping story. The one that will enliven a readers mind to envision the masterfully worded account. Of sweeping landscapes and detailed lives.
Ok ok no more distractions. No need to put human values on inanimate objects. Well not really an object the cursor is. Does something only projected by coloured pixels classify as an object? With a sigh he took himself in hand. No more thought tangents or distractions. A sip of the untouched tea and a realization that he had indeed, put in a little too much honey.
Alright, still sitting in front of a clean slate awaiting the first stroke of chalk. A blank canvas awaiting an artist's sable brush with vivid paint. Had to keep positive. He wasn't stuck. He was waiting to envision the right words for a proper title. No! No, he was waiting for a tale worth telling. A title would be thought of (angonized over) later. First he needed a story. A story to capture the imagination. To create dramatic pictures in the imagination of the reader. Because the reader was all important. With out a reader, was it really a tale? Like the tree that supposedly falls in a forest, did an unread story contain no words? If it didn't then he was on the right track.
Back to the fresh start. The evil impatiant cursor mocked him with it's blinking. Oh! a tale! An evil entity possessing a computer wrecks havoc on an unsuspecting software company! Ok the villian... no hero is a lowly code writter... no a bug hunter. Ya a bug hunter. Shy and introverted she can barely talk to her coworkers, let alone look at them.
No she is a daring pirate on the high seas during the time of Blackbeard. Dessent among the superstitious crew and leading in a mans world were not tough enough. Pirate hunters and Merchentman. Plunder and booty. And rum, must have rum. Love unsworn of a British Captain who in turn is her greatest enemy.
No no, that would never do. Write about what you know. It would be tough to write about pirates, when one has never even seen a single sea, let alone seven or sailed upon any of them.
Alright then. That cuts out knights in shining armor, mages, demons, and dragons. It cuts out spies and counter intelligence. It also cuts out, he muses, space ships and the captians that pilot them. It cuts out stage coaches and the wild chase scenes, bank robbers of days of yore and of newer times. In fact it cuts out so much that he realizes that he knows very little about most stuff that makes up the well read literatures. Actually it seems he knows very little. About a lot of things.
He debates about another tea, but this time the tea loses. But one thing he does know, is the cute girl who works the coffee shop and what he hopes is real flirtting. So the the tea and the title and the story lose to the girl with the sparkling eyes. He's out the door and down the dimly lit hallway towards the elevators while the evil cursor blinks away its distraction to no one.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles in today's marketplace. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Infiniti vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to fix your automobile. Make no mistake, you bought your M35 because you understood you would be getting long-lasting quality and a trusted brand both impeccably combined into one vehicle. When your Infiniti M35 left the factory, it was destined for a driver who prioritizes Japanese engineering in their automobile.
Without some key electrical parts, your engine wouldn't be able to stay running. Your Infiniti M35 alternator uses a drive belt to harness the rotation of the crankshaft to spin its own pulley. Inside that alternator, a constant supply of current for your car or truck is generated as a pair of metal claws and brushes spin around a coil; creating a powerful electromagnetic field. The energy from your alternator goes back to the battery and keeps it charged, while also supplying voltage to circuits that power your interior electronics, lights and turn signals, and any other electronic part on your Infiniti M35.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you buy the correct Infiniti M35 part for your project or repair. Ordering new Infiniti parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the most superior original and aftermarket replacement M35 parts on the internet.

By Friday morning the number of book-buyers who had ventured on to Amazon to post a review of J K Rowling's new novel had risen to 165. The curious thing about this exercise in mass literary criticism was the polarisation of opinion. Fifty-five of the online pundits had rated The Casual Vacancy at five stars. Seventy-one had awarded it one. The people who had liked it were raving over it, and the people who had disliked it were bitterly distressed ("Sooner watch paint dry" etc) by the waste of time and money involved.
All this offered further evidence of one of the great Regrettable Tendencies – to invoke the spirit of Matthew Arnold – of modern cultural life, which is its distrust of nuance, and its unwillingness to accept that a piece of music or a 300-page novel may arouse feelings in the purchaser that defy easy summary.
Professional acquaintances who inspected Ms Rowling's blockbuster generally agreed that it was neither very good nor very bad, and that promising themes and treatments were sometimes crowded out by prolixity and cliché. The Amazon detractors, on the other hand, simply queued up to inform their fellow critics that they had tossed the book aside in disdain.
In some ways, "Booklover of SW1", who regularly foams at the mouth if some darling work isn't thoroughly to his taste, can hardly be blamed for his fury, as the whole tenor of contemporary cultural debate is geared to abetting his prejudices.
Nearly all cinema reviews these days are graded 1-5. The Bookseller, even more reductive in these matters, files critical judgements from the books pages under three catch-all categories: good, bad, and interesting but flawed. One either loves it, to borrow the title of a selection of Julie Burchill's occasional journalism, or shoves it.
And if nuance is disappearing from critical judgment, equally sinister is its retreat from the language in which those judgements are made.
I have lost count of the number of newspaper articles in which someone disparages the "not un-" formula on grounds of superfluity and obfuscation. And yet to describe a book as "not unentertaining" or a face as "not unattractive" opens up a whole range of evaluative questions that a paragraph of explication may not answer.
As a student I used to shake my head over the Times Literary Supplement fiction reviews, in which each tentative assertion was qualified into torpor by the one that followed, and one could reach the final line without ever quite determining if the reviewer had liked the book. Thirty years later you sometimes feel that even 50 shades of grey may not be enough.
Of all the statements attributed to the historian Eric Hobsbawm, who died on Monday at the age of 95, the one that caught my eye was his defence of pre-war Communist Party dogma: "We were not liberals. Liberalism was what had failed. In the total war we were engaged in, one did not ask oneself whether there should be a limit to the sacrifices imposed on others any more than on ourselves."
One always feels that this kind of bracing remark is rather hard on liberals – let alone the people on whom sacrifices are to be "imposed" whether they like it or not. The only reason why liberal principle fails, after all, is because a certain kind of person exposed to it doesn't share its moral salubrity. On the other hand, it is possible to applaud – if not from the die-hard Marxist angle – Hobsbawm's impatience with a world view which, if baulked, usually retreats to the moral high ground while washing its hands of obligations contracted en route.
E M Forster once declared that the solution to practically any human difficulty was kindness, followed by more kindness, and then, if that didn't work, even more kindness. To which the cynic always wants to retort: what if the entity to whom kindness is offered doesn't play by your rules? It was George Orwell who bleakly remarked that an India governed on strict Forsterian principles would collapse within a fortnight.
In the wake of Ed Miliband's advocacy of the merits of a state education, several newspapers provided handy guides to the educational backgrounds of the Shadow Cabinet, the implication being that those educated privately were hypocrites for being in favour of comprehensive schools. I never quite see the point of these exercises. Children surely can't be held responsible for how their parents chose to educate them. Equally, a private-school education might be thought valuable ammunition in the armoury of a politician now keener on the state.
As for the Labour Party's unwritten law that all its tribunes should be seen to educate their offspring in state schools, this always seems rather hard on the children involved, whose individual needs may not be best served by this blanket prescription. Back in the 1970s the Labour Councillor father of a friend of mine was quietly advised by the party apparatchiks to send his children to comprehensives if he aspired to higher office.
In the end ideological honour was upheld, but I always sympathised with its victims, now separated from their friends and sacrificed on the altar of a somewhat doubtful principle. I should be much more likely to vote for Labour candidates who sent their sons to private schools, if only as a mark of respect for their defiance of orthodoxy.Reuse content

2. Met
I took my seat and watched as the other students filed in. I kept hoping that Marina would pass by so I could talk to her but no such luck. I let my anger get in the way and now she's mad at me too. We were an impossible couple.
I tried to think of why I started dating Marina in the first place. There were other girls prettier than her but they over react way worse than Marina does. Come to think of it, I only dated Marina because my mother liked her. How could I say no to my mother? I'd do anything she asked even at my own expense.
I felt strangely guilty. I never thought of Marina like this, full of hate and anger. May this was just an off day. I keep staring at the door for no apparent reason. I felt something tugging at me. Forcing me to look.
As I was pondering this, I heard Mr. David calling the class to order. "Okay, settle down. Hey! Julius, I think you've made you point, no pun intended son, settle down everyone!" He called. I was really sorry for Mr. David. He was the most favored teacher in school because he was a pushover. We could do anything and all he would do was watch.
Mr. David sighed and continued anyway, "We have a new student. Her name is Jodi." He says pointing to the door. "Jodi? Come on, they won't bite you." He promised.
Suddenly a small and lithe figure emerged from the doorway and everyone stopped what they were doing. Jodi was the most beautiful girl we've ever seen. Mr. David looked smug and happy that the class finally settled down.
Jodi had skin almost as pale as snow; her hair was a contrast because it was brown like chocolate. It was choppy and uneven but so long that it dropped until her shoulder blades. Her eyes looked like they were three different colors, shifting from blue to green and brown. Her mouth looked so red and vibrant that I had a sudden urge to kiss her. I pushed the thought aside, I was dating Marina.
"Hello." Jodi says. Her voice! It sounded like angels singing. Okay, I guess I am over reacting but still, I found that I would listen to whatever she said. I wonder what her laugh sounds like…. "I'm Jodi Mason."
Everybody watched her in admiration, the air was buzzing with it. "Yes, well." Mr. David cleared his throat, making us look at him. "Here's your book Jodi, you can sit wherever you want." Mr. David says as he begins to erase the writings on the board.
I heard shuffling as many boys moved their things in hopes that she would sit next to them. Good luck. I thought. No one here in this class was decent enough to sit beside her, myself included.
When I made that conclusion, I heard a chair squeak as it was move. It was too close to me. Too close.
That's when I smelled Jodi's shampoo, it was minty and strong. That I first thought it was perfume. Perfume couldn't smell like that.
"I'm Jodi Mason. Who are you?." I hear her say. I turn around to see who she's talking to and find her eyes trained on me.
"I'm Luke Mellark." I say. I could see her eyes widen in alarm. She turns away and I can't help but feel what a major idiot I am. She looks back at me and smiles. My heart starts thumping wildly in my chest and I hope that she can't hear it.
It looks like she does and she smiles wider.
"Nice to meet you, Luke." She says before going back to the lesson.
Class ends with the knowledge that I didn't learn anything Mr. David said because I kept looking at Jodi. I watched her as her body curved whenever she raises her hand to answer a question.
I was fixing my bag when I heard the familiar voice again. "Would you give me a tour around the school?"
Jodi is sitting in her chair watching me. "You could ask anyone outside, they'd say yes to you." I say curtly.
She laughs and I almost drop my book. "Yes, but I feel safe when I'm with you. At least, we're on speaking terms. I haven't met anyone besides you today." She explains.
I don't answer, maybe she'll think I'm not interested and find somebody else. "Please Luke?" My heart stops and I sigh. "Ok. Would you mind it if my girlfriend tags along?" I ask her. Her face drops and I could see disappointed marring with her need to spend time with me. "Not at all." She smiled half-heartedly.
I couldn't help but feel I made the biggest mistake of my life.

Pete EscovedoView in iTunes
To preview a song, mouse over the title and click Play. Open iTunes to buy and download music.
Pete Escovedo has been a major force in Latin music since the late '60s, and his versatility has resulted in success in several areas of music, from Latin jazz and salsa to rock and Latin pop. Growing up in Oakland, California, Escovedo was surrounded by music throughout his childhood. His father sang with some Latin big bands. Pete played the saxophone in high school and soon switched to vibes. When pianist Ed Kelly needed a percussionist, Escovedo found his calling. He and his younger brother, the late Coke Escovedo, both developed quickly as percussionists and became greatly in demand for gigs in Northern California. With their youngest brother Phil Escovedo playing bass, the Escovedo Brothers Latin Jazz Sextet was formed. The group broke up in 1967 when Carlos Santana hired both Pete and Coke for his Latin rock group. After touring with Santana for the next three years (he has rejoined him a few times since), Pete and Coke founded the 14-piece Latin big band Azteca, recording two albums for Columbia. When the band grew to 24 members, it became too expensive to keep together, although the music was quite impressive. Since that time, Pete has performed in a countless number of settings including with such notables as Herbie Hancock, Woody Herman, Cal Tjader, and Tito Puente, among many others. He started using his daughter Sheila E. in the mid-'70s when she was still a teenager; they first recorded together in 1976 with Billy Cobham and have worked together many times since. Since Azteca, Escovedo has also frequently led his own Latin jazz band, sometimes also including his other children Juan, Peter Michael, and Zina. Pete Escovedo has recorded as a leader for Fantasy (co-leading dates with Sheila E.) and Concord (including their Crossover, Picante, and Vista subsidiaries). He kicked off 2013 with the large band Live from Stern Grove. While his two sons are in the lineup, so are luminaries such as pianist Joe Rotondi, and trumpeters Louis Fasman and Mario Gonzales. The set also includes guest performances from Sheila E., saxophonist Dave Koz, guitarist Ray Obiedo, and trumpeter Arturo Sandoval. ~ Scott Yanow

The Queen of Canada lives and works in a palace and is incredibly wealthy, but her illness over the weekend demonstrated one way in which she is rather like us: When she caught a bad case of gastroenteritis, she kept on going to work. British newspapers report the Queen started feeling sick on Friday but continued her public and private duties, and finally ended up in hospital on Sunday. In employment-speak, she is an example of "presenteeism," a problem many employers and employees have been slow to recognize.
There are countless Canadians who demonstrate the same admirable stiff upper lip by going to work unwell. For many, it's a question of money. Some people simply cannot afford to miss a day's work because they are self-employed or don't have sick day benefits to cover their lost income. But just as often, people choose to work when they can and should legitimately take a sick day, because it's in their nature to be so dedicated, or because of a fear of losing favour with their bosses, or because they don't want to shoulder their colleagues with additional work.
While absenteeism has long been a recognized workplace problem, employers, as well as insurance companies that manage benefits packages, have started to realize that presenteeism also lowers productivity and increases costs. We are not talking about coming to work with a cold and functioning at 90 per cent; the concern for employers is employees who come to work sick and get sicker, and who are then absent for a longer period or even damage their long-term health. An unwell person can also spread an infectious disease in an office.
Presenteeism also covers workaholism, mental illness, burnout and the simple, painful fact of being distracted at work by a major life change such as a death in the family or a divorce. Research into the issue is still relatively new, but one review of published studies on presenteeism carried out by the Sun Life Wellness Institute and the Richard Ivey School of Business (and reported about online) found that wellness programs can save companies more than $200 per employee per year. And that is just the bottom-line; the benefit to employees who feel secure staying home sick or confessing to being under the burden of serious personal problems or suffering a mental illness is impossible to measure in dollar figures, but is just as important.
The Queen has always led by example, and her instinct to continue to serve at age 86 even when ill is one of the many remarkable aspects of this long-reigning and well-loved monarch. But there is also a lesson in her story for companies and workers in the fact she ended up in hospital, and has now had to cancel most of her upcoming duties this week.Report Typo/Error

Seat covers - whatcha runnin?
I tore my seat covers this weekend after wheeling. I have the older 97-02 seats and they had the tan/black Mopar covers, which I really liked.
Time to replace em and I can't find those Mopar ones anymore, so I need to consider my options. What are you guys running for seat covers? I'd like something with a nice fit, easy to clean/maintain, and have some durability to them.
Any pics would be an added plus, and if you know a good source for em, even better!
I used to have some nice saddle blanket ones(on my XJ) that I bought through autozone. Custom fit application, like $80 something. They were great! Stong and when you got them dirty, take em off and toss em in the washer :D
Man if you got the cash wet okole is the bomb. My buddy has those and they are indestructible. I just find that kinda cash to throw down.
Any one runing those? http://www.jcwhitney.com/wcsstore/jc...0613G_CL_1.jpg
those look like what my grandma is runnin' in her '79 thunderbird :rofl: J/K.
I just bought a set of Bestop front seat covers from Quadratec.
They are just like my trail cover and match the top, bikini, jammer and duster perfectly. They even match the upholstery on the console in an absolute match. They were $110 including shipping. I have only had them on for a week. I was afraid they would be hot, but so far in 90+ degree weather, they are very comfortable. Just wipe them off with a cloth to clean. They fit pretty tight, the passenger one just wants to balloon a little with the doors off, from the wind getting underneath it. Not bad though.
Thanks AzTJ.. i was planning on getting them but thanks. Just curious how did you tare them?
with the studs on my jeans. Just a little snag and RIIIIIIPP. Was stupid how easy they tore.
How about these? They are from Quadratec
AzTJ thank you for your feedback sir :)
Keep in mind, I have a 97 TJ with the older style seats, not the ones shown in the red/black above.
They make those covers to fit the old seats too...
Other colors besides red/black?
i've got some black neoprene rugged ridge covers that i really like because they fit really snugly. i get annoyed at seat covers that slip and slide all over the place and don't fit right. i haven't experienced the dreaded swamp ass either.
I had some like this in my last TJ. They are awesome. They don't fit super tight like the Wet Okole but it isn't too bad. They are super easy to clean also. You can also find them at Auto Zone for 22 a seat.
I have the wet Okole ones that came with the jeep when i bought it....i won't buy them again. they are a few years old and collect stains like crazy. they also have a bad habit of sliding to one side or the other
I will go for the best top these are the best.My friend has those and they just work great and looks good too,and pretty good materials too.
Now Im investing on wheels, tires & susp. but after that I will go for these seat covers.
Running seat vests right now.
you runnin the fabric or the neoprene?
I had the wet okoles on my old jeep. They were ok. Was not worth the money. They always made my back sweat. And yes they do stain EASY.
I am just glad my seats are in great shape and dont need covers. Its the one time where getting the cheapest option (Vinyl) paid off.
My seats have vinyl. It's a 97 TJ, that when I bought it in soCal had ONLY been in soCal. It was a hot, dry area that saw sun 95% of the time. They were cracked when I got em, so the seat covers were pretty much the first purchase.
I got min efrom an old man here in KY. I would say that the top had never been off it more than twice until I owned it. And It sat in a garage, so I lucked out on the interior. It is flawless. The problem was that when he bought it, he bought it as the cheapest thing he could get without gettin 4 cylinders.
How are the neoprene? The look like they fit nice and tight. I want something because I run off road and kick up dirt into my seats, not much fun being that my Jeep is band new.

Recently released market study: Brazil Mining Report Q2 2011
Fast Market Research recommends "Brazil Mining Report Q2 2011" from Business Monitor International, now available
Iron Ore Production To Continue To Rise
Brazil's iron ore sector is poised to continue its recent expansion, which has seen the country consolidate its status as the second largest exporter in the world after Australia. Total production is forecast to reach 412mt (million tonnes) in 2011, an increase of 11.4% on volumes in 2010. Much of this growth is expected to have been derived from the expansion plans implemented by Vale, the world's largest iron ore miner, with output at the company's Carajas mine, which is situated in Para state, set to be expanded by 30mt to 130mt in 2011. Looking further ahead we forecast total iron ore output to increase by nearly 58% between 2010 and 2015 when it will reach 583mtpa. Average growth over our 2011-2015 forecast period is expected to be an impressive 9.7% year-on-year (y-o-y).
Regulatory Environment
A new Brazilian mining code seeking to eliminate speculation and force companies to develop projects faster was reportedly close to completion in March 2011, according to the country's Mines and Energy Minister Edison Lobao. The new code is expected to reduce the length of time companies have to complete explorations of mineral deposits in order to stop companies from buying deposits and selling them on after prices rise. The code will have a specific clause regulating uranium mining, which currently can only be mined by state-owned companies. The new code is not expected to discriminate against foreign ownership of mining assets, though it is expected to offer tax incentives to companies that are involved in domestic steel production, rather than producing ores for export and processing abroad.
Key Players
A small number of large multinationals dominate the Brazilian metals and mining industry. Large multinational players operating in the Brazilian mining industry include: Australia-based BHP Billiton, Brazil's Vale and UK-based Rio Tinto. Vale operates primarily in Brazil, China and Europe. It has operations in 14 Brazilian states and also has a presence across the US, Africa, Asia and Australasia. Other important firms include US-based Jaguar Mining, which explores and extracts gold in the Minas Gerais state. It has operations in four regions: the Sabara region, the Turmalina region, Paciencia and the Santa Barbara regions. Mirabela Nickel is an Australian-owned nickel producer. The company operates one of the world's largest open pit nickel sulphide mines, Santa Rita, located in Bahia state.

Film-making aims to boost youth confidence
A northern Goldfields police officer says a film-making project in Menzies, in south-east Western Australia, will help improve the confidence of local children.
Constable Peter McCalum, a trained actor and film director, will teach students at the Menzies Community School the basics of film-making.
The aim of the project is to help school kids combat issues of boredom, low self-esteem and substance abuse by producing a documentary showing the negative effects of drugs and alcohol.
Constable McCalum says the project will get students exploring their creative streak.
"They already write short stories at school and what I am going to do is just take that to the next level by encouraging them to draw pictures that relate to their stories and from there you'll basically get story boards, which is one of the basic fundamentals of film-making," he said.
