GM to End Australian Manufacturing3:23
General Motors plans to shut its Holden manufacturing unit in 2017, which will result in the loss of 2,900 jobs in Australia. Paul Bastian, national secretary of the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union, talks to WSJ?s Robb M. Stewart about the likely impact of the closure.
TAX breaks for businesses in the northern suburbs should be considered by the State Government to help create jobs, federal Labor MP Tony Zappia says.
Urging bold action to overcome Holden's impending closure, the Makin MP and former Salisbury mayor has also suggested the appointment of a state Minister for the North to lead those efforts.
The Advertiser today launches the Northern Fightback campaign, aimed at creating jobs and instilling community pride in Adelaide's northern suburbs. Messenger and the Sunday Mail are also leading this campaign.
It is a pre-emptive response to the closure of Holden's Elizabeth plant from 2017, which will cost the state an estimated 13,000 jobs, both at the car manufacturer and associated component supply companies.
Federal Labor MPs whose seats cover the north said it was critical that South Australia received its fair share of the $155 million growth fund designed to drive post-Holden industry growth, announced by the Federal Government in May.
SURVEY: How would you fix the problems in the north?
They also urged an expansion of existing growth industries in the north, including horticulture, defence, advanced manufacturing, food processing and health care.
Drawing on his decade of experience as Salisbury mayor, Mr Zappia said companies such as Bickfords, Inghams and National Foods had been lured to the area with council rate "holidays", accelerated planning approvals and infrastructure such as roads.
"I see no reason why, if there's other incentives possible, that the Government shouldn't be considering them," Mr Zappia said.
"It may be that the Government may need to offer some additional support by way of tax relief.
"I think it needs to look at all the taxes and charges that are applied to new and established businesses and look at whether they can cut them."
Mr Zappia's suggestion of tax relief will hearten senior business leaders who have repeatedly complained about costs in SA and urged tax reform in the 2015 state budget.
Delivering his first Budget last month, Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis said Premier Jay Weatherilll had urged all ministers in the fourth-term Labor government to reconnect with business to ensure the state's business environment was as competitive and attractive as possible.
Emphasising he was not giving specific policy advice, Mr Zappia said state and local governments should work together in the north to address social issues and create jobs.
These efforts needed a central co-ordinator, Mr Zappia said, to take responsibility for delivering outcomes.
"Strategically for the region one of the difficulties over the years has been responsibility for delivering on ideas has rested too many jurisdictions and government agencies federal,
state and local," he said.
"I believe, as I always have, a State Government Minister for the North will bring the authority and efficiency to ensure ideas become reality.
"I believe that now, more than ever, we need to capitalise on what advantages the north has and what opportunities there are for the north to transition from an automotive hub to a more broadbased industrial manufacturing region."
Mr Zappia urged an aggressive approach, saying the north was competing globally at a time when Holden's closure would leave a huge gap in the region's job opportunities.
Wakefield MP Nick Champion said a fair share of the federal money was vital to ensure Holden workers received appropriate retraining packages and these were efficiently delivered by government.
He said that growth in northern infrastructure was critical for both economic development and community pride, so residents could see their area had not been abandoned.
Mr Champion backed Playford Council plans for an as-yet unfunded $55 million regional sports precinct at Elizabeth, including courts and ovals for soccer, football, cricket, softball and numerous indoor sports.
A council application for a $15 million federal grant was rejected last year but it would be partially funded by an Elizabeth Vale tennis club's sale, which makes way for the Lyell McEwin health precinct's expansion.
Mr Champion, who is federal Labor's shadow parliamentary secretary for health said expanding health research at the precinct was an important growth industry.
Highlighting horticultural and other export industries in the north, he urged national debate on the high Australian dollar, has stifled some exports.
"I know that with Holden once the dollar started hitting parity or past 90 cents, it became very difficult to export to the United States," Mr Champion said.
"I'm not sure there's any easy policy outcome for that."
Mr Champion, who before the state election urged his state colleagues to appoint a Minister for the North, said this had been effectively achieved with the appointment of Susan Close as Automotive Transformation Minister.
"The emphasis is there. I'm not going to get hung up on titles," he said.
Port Adelaide MP Mark Butler, whose seat includes part of Salisbury, said he was most concerned about the knock-on effects to supplier industries of Holden's closure and work drying up in defence shipbuilding.
He said the Federal Government had intensified the potential skilled workforce loss by locking out Port River shipbuilder ASC from the tender process for two naval supply ships, instead allowing Spanish and South Korean companies to compete for the $1.5 billion deal.
"They were the obvious bridge between the end of the destroyer project and the ramp up of either the frigates or the submarine project, whichever comes first," Mr Butler said.
Playford Mayor Glenn Docherty threw his support behind a Minister for the North.
"(The) council is supportive and encourage initiatives that strengthen northern Adelaide," Mr Docherty said.
"Playford has been earmarked by the State Government to carry most of South Australia's growth over the next 30 years," he said.
"Now they need to put the dollars in. (The) State Government needs to invest in improving public transport that connects people to jobs in the north, invest in new roads and stormwater infrastructure to unlock the (employment) potential of ... Edinburgh Parks, and (invest) in sealing rural roads to assist the horticultural sector grow."
Mr Docherty said tax breaks for businesses would help the district, but it would need to be teamed with further government investment.
Salisbury Mayor Gillian Aldridge also backed the push for a minister for the north.
"I think this could be an outstanding opportunity to face up to the challenge and show what we can do for the north," Ms Aldridge said.
"The north is an amazing part of state."

Challenges in the north
■ Income growth in Adelaide's north has been lagging behind the rest of the country.
■ In the Salisbury Council area, the median family income increased from $1034 to $1193 between the 2006 and 2011 Censuses, a 15 per cent rise.
■ In the Playford area, the increase was from $900 to $1063 (18 per cent). Across the country, however, the rise was far higher, from $1171 to $1481 — an increase of more than 26 per cent.
■ As income has stalled, housing costs have spiked.
■ In the Salisbury area, the median monthly mortgage repayment grew from $975 in 2006 to $1410 in 2011, an increase of 45 per cent.
■ In Playford, payments rose from $867 to $1300, a rise of 50 per cent. The national rise was only 38 per cent.
■ The unemployment rate in the wider north Adelaide region was 8.2 per cent late last year, according to the Department of Employment.
■ The region takes in Playford, Salisbury and Gawler councils.
■ The youth (15-24) unemployment rate was 19 per cent — almost five percentage points higher than the state average.
■ In the western/ central part of Playford, unemployment rose from 15 per cent to 16.3 per cent and in central Salisbury from 10.8 per cent to 11.5 per cent, between December 2012 and December 2013.
■ In Elizabeth unemployment figures were even worse, rising from 20 per cent to 21.4 per cent.
■ The motor vehicle industry was the biggest employer in both Salisbury and Playford in 2006, at 4 and 6.1 per cent of employed people.
■ But in 2011 it was overtaken by grocery stores, cafes and restaurants and road freight transport, dropping to about 3 per cent for the region.
■ In Salisbury just 10.2 per cent of people reported studying at university or another tertiary institution in 2011. In Playford, the proportion was 6 per cent — less than half the state rate of 14.4 per cent.
■ In Playford, less than one in four people reported some non-school qualification in 2011 — 24 per cent of the population. In Salisbury, the rate is 28 per cent. Nationally the rate is 36 per cent.
■ The Playford local government area was ranked as the fifth most disadvantaged area in the state in 2011 by the SEIFA index of relative socio-economic disadvantage — the only region
in the top five located in the greater Adelaide area.
■ Salisbury was ranked 17 out of 71 regions in South Australia.
■ Salisbury and Playford were home to more people suffering personal insolvency in March
2014 than anywhere else in the state, with 43 debtors in each area, according to the Australian Financial Security Authority.
■ In Playford, building approvals have dropped each year for the three years to 2012-13.
■ In Salisbury, building approvals have dropped for five years in a row and are now at a level — less than 500 dwellings per year — that is less than half of what they were 10 years ago.
■ Playford has the highest rate of premature mortality of all local government areas in greater Adelaide, and Salisbury is in third place.
■ Both areas also appear in the top three for the rate of asthmatics who smoke, and rank first
and second for the obesity ratio of their adult population. Salisbury is the only area in Adelaide where more than 20 out of every 100 adults are considered obese according to National Health Survey in 2007-08.
Labor 'reconnecting' with business for jobs growth ideas
PREMIER Jay Weatherill says he has collected numerous ideas from business for job creation since "reconnecting" after state election.
Outlining his plans for the northern suburbs, Mr Weatherill signalled that he would soon unveil plans to accelerate jobs, based his conversations with business.
"We are managing the State's economy to support jobs in the north and across the State," Mr Weatherill said, in a statement to The Advertiser.
"Our infrastructure projects over the next four years will support about 4700 jobs a year."
But Opposition Leader Steven Marshall said Mr Weatherill and his party had demonstrated they didn't understand how to create jobs, particularly in the middle of a dangerous jobs crisis.
"After 12 years of Labor in South Australia, our young people are leaving the state in droves and small businesses are doing it tough under the highest tax regime in the country," he said.
"And what's Premier Jay Weatherill's economic panacea? Increase taxes, introduce new taxes, and actually make it harder for job creators to create jobs.
"The State Liberals applaud this focus on job creation, particularly in Adelaide's north, which in recent times hit dangerously high youth unemployment rate levels of 45 per cent — the second highest in the country."
In comments which suggest Automotive Transformation Minister Susan Close is the de facto minister for the north, Mr Weatherill said her role was crucial to targeting job creation efforts in the region.
The Automotive Transformation Taskforce, headed by former federal industry minister Greg Combet, was also important.
"We're also pursuing shipbuilding projects to create a continuous pipeline of work between the air warfare destroyer project and the commencement of the next generation of submarines. An early decision on the future subs project is critical."
After last month's State Budget, Mr Weatherill and Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis conceded Labor had drifted apart from business during the campaign for the March state election. Both said they wanted to reconnect with business leaders.
"Since the election, we've been reconnecting with the business community and we've collected a range of ideas about accelerating jobs and will be making more announcements soon," Mr Weatherill said.

Judge Rules Against Debra Bowen in Prisoner Voting Rights Lawsuit
An Alameda County Superior Court judge has ruled that Secretary of State Debra Bowen erred by deciding that tens of thousands of criminals who are serving their sentences under community supervision are ineligible to vote.
The American Civil Liberties Union and other groups sued on behalf of nearly 60,000 convicts who previously would have been ineligible to vote because they were on state parole.
Bowen was sued over a decision she made in 2011 that said criminals who are serving their sentences under community supervision are ineligible to vote.
The ACLU, League of Woman Voters, Leadership Conference on Civil Rights and other groups filed the lawsuit in February.
This was the second voting-related lawsuit challenging Bowen's interpretation of the 2011 realignment law, which is designed to reduce state prison overcrowding.
The first included those serving time in county jails but stalled in the courts.
The lawsuit argues that state law prohibits voting only by those in state prison or on parole.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 1995
About the owner: My family purchased the ranch in 1995 and I have been in love with it ever since. Other than writing fiction this place is my only true hobby. We have spent the last 20 years improving the property with cabins and new facilities, as well as extensive conservation efforts, restoring native grasses and habitat, removing hundreds of invasive tree species and replanting hundreds more native oaks across the ranch. My father passed away in 2010 and left my wife and I with the task of turning the ranch into a family business. Our love for the land and for people encouraged the direction the ranch has taken. My wife and I simply love hosting families and providing them with an atmosphere of genuine hospitality. We want everyone to love our Texas playground as much as we do.

I see all of these kids of various ages walking to and from school in my area. Every one of them is wearing a backpack.
Many of them just keep their packs with them even on non school days. Hopefully they jettison the heavy books out of them.
They are going to be the MAXPEDITION buyers of the future.

BEST Olympic performance for 80 years. First heavyweight boxing gold since 1920. Perfect symmetry to end the Sydney Olympics. Team GB are now beating up other countries instead of themselves.
There were two last golds for Britain before the F-111 jets blasted through the night sky and turned Sydney into bacchanalia. Stephanie Cook and Kate Allenby took gold and bronze in the women's modern pentathlon while an injured Audley Harrison jabbed his way to victory in the super-heavyweight division in the ring.
The three had breakfast together in the athletes' village. "Audley was on the big fry-up. We were on the muesli and bananas," Cook said.
Harrison's valediction to amateur fighting included a rap poem and a quote from a 17th century French dramatist. Things are definitely looking up.
There are 11 gold medallists to honour when the British flight touches down tomorrow and 28 jewellery-winners in all. In Atlanta four years ago, Britain were buried deeper than Charlotte O'Hara. At 36th in the medal table, they were below Ethiopia, Algeria, North Korea and Nigeria. Now they have risen to a perky 10th; not world-threatening, but a miraculous improvement on 1996.
"We've proved that Britain is great again. We've produced the goods," said Harrison, who fought with a swollen hand to win his country's first boxing gold medal since Chris Finnegan in 1968. "To have two Brits on the podium is spectacular. What a way to finish," raved Cook. There was euphoria and incredulity in the British camp. It seemed like a bad time to point out that Britain won 30 medals fewer than Australia, a country with less than half the population, or that Holland, Italy, France and Germany all won more golds.
It was not the point. Britain's Olympic revival has been one of the major themes of these Games and ought to be felt across every boxing gym and kayak club. Steve Redgrave, who held the team in Atlanta afloat, carried the flag into the Olympic Stadium last night like some redoubtable British officer who had survived a terrible onslaught and emerged at the head of a revitalised troupe. Eleven golds is the minimum Britain should expect, given their sporting history and economic clout. This ought to be only the start.
Five golds in three days produced a rousing finish; there were three in two days in the yachting and then a double in two of the most gruelling sports yesterday. Australian zeal is now officially an infectious condition. Body language alone suggested that many of Britain's 321 athletes drew strength from the force field which sustained these Games, and which turned the sky over Sydney last night into a radiant constellation of loudly exploding colour.
A final scout round the erupting city yesterday could produce nobody who thinks there has been a better sporting carnival. Some who remember la dolce vita in Rome in 1960 are prepared to enter a token debate. But it never lasts long. Australia is above all a positive country, a sport-devouring land capable of breaking every Olympic attendance and ticketing record (6.7 million tickets sold, nine billion hits on the official website). On day eight, 400,345 squeezed into the Olympic Park with barely a cross word or a transport snarl-up.
No worries. This was the slogan of the Games. Every night in that vast Olympic Park, an announcer asked the multitudes pouring on to the excellent train network to applaud the 47,000 volunteers who managed to stay cheery through two weeks of leg-ache and smile-fatigue. They were clapped and cheered every time, and no wonder. A statistician worked out yesterday that they gave five million hours of their lives.
Australian TV became as shockingly parochial as NBC in Atlanta as the Games wore on, but the country itself managed to win medals galore without succumbing to boorishness or chauvinism. A country is not its TV culture, thank heavens. If it were, the Americans would be in real trouble. Their coverage from Sydney was a disaster, a national joke. Quite a good joke, sometimes. Take this, from an NBC introductory feature on equestrianism: "It has been 6,000 years since man first forged a relationship with the horse. The journey has brought us together in a place called trust."
If that was the media quote of the Games, the best picture was Eric 'The Eel' Moussambani surfing on Bondi Beach with a playboy grin and a sponsored wetsuit. For anyone just back from a 10-year sabbatical on Jupiter, Eric was the swimmer who looked like a Labrador doggy-paddling after a tennis ball at the end of a 100 metres race he had never attempted before. His was the most triumphant failure of the fortnight. Ineptitude made him a hero. There are always dramas in the pool, but this was the first time lifeboats have had to be mobilised for an Olympic swim.
Uniquely, in modern sport, the Olympics find room to celebrate frailty as much as strength. These Games were a factory for tragicomedies: the Australian walker who was disqualified 200 metres short of a gold medal, wailing: "No, no, not me." Yes, you. Upset of the fortnight was Alexandre Karelin's first wrestling defeat in 13 years. The greatest choke was Spain in the men's football final, the finest race Haile Gebrselassie winning the 10,000m by the width of his teeth.
On to the roster of grade-A global recognition go Ian Thorpe, Inge de Bruijn and Pieter van den Hoogenband from the pool, and Marion Jones, Denise Lewis and Cathy Freeman from track and field. We will remember Freeman not running but sitting down, knocked to the track by history's juggernaut at the end of a 400m race which, however irrational this sounds, seemed to alter the trajectory of Australian history.
Defeats for the two greatest middle-distance runners of modern times left a void that no number of lucrative Wednesday night Grand Prix victories can fill. Wilson Kipketer (800m) and Hicham El Guerrouj (1,500m) were tactically off target. So, in truth, were the impresarios of track and field, who crammed too many stellar events into the first three days and so failed to sustain the dramatic tension.
But for three days in mid-Olympics there was the danger of ending up like Freeman, bowled over by melodrama and the unceasing buffeting of big events. Redgrave's fifth gold medal rolled into Denise Lewis's heptathlon victory and thence to Freeman and the emotional crescendo of the Games. For Britain, Atlanta was one long autopsy.
This time the Team GB good-news bulletins hummed until the end. Athletes and officials raced off into a long night of celebration, for once not feeling the need to dodge disgruntled British fans.
The legacy left by Redgrave, Pinsent, Lewis, Edwards, Ainslie, Harrison and the rest was that Britain were not excluded from the wild festivities of last night. The light from the fireworks detonating over Darling Harbour shone on British achievements as much as anything we saw in the fortnight. The Sydney Games were so good that they made the 40 or so drugs busts seem like welcome news. In another place they might have been taken as further evidence of the corruption of the Olympic spirit. Here, they seemed to express an intolerance of cheating, a willingness to stop pretending at last that all is clean and well.
A star burst is what it was, and it put 11 British athletes in the Olympic firmament.

I just finished a delightful and oft cited book by Elizabeth Marshall
Thomas, "The Hidden Life of Dogs". She just observed her dogs, let them
train themselves, followed them on foot and bike, and made delightful
notes. Her first experience with a husky named Misha led her to calculate
a 200-500-square-mile range around Cambridge. He never got lost. Another
of her husky's, a female, always got lost. She would finally find a front
porch and sit until the owners checked her tag, called, and she was taken
So, we plan to add a chip when Sweet Honey Biscuit has her annual and I
think I'll get a tag made with our telephone number.
I had planned to do some quilting this afternoon but I think my arms are
going to require more rest.
Have a wonderful day in your gardens.

Blossom through Change
Changes happen to everybody and most of the time they come unexpected. They might be good or bad, but required for personal growth. Charles and Amy Everwood never imagined that their lives would change after reading a letter and complying with the sender's request. Both of them will soon enter a very different world and face changes, the challenge behind each change is the ability to blossom through them.
Blossom through Change
Dearest Charles and Amy Everwood,
For a man of my age, without the vigor and energy of my youth, but with the sincere hope and desire of further experiencing life, I write you this letter, a letter that ought to have been written long time ago. Despite of the span of time that has elapsed, it has not changed the thoughts and meanings behind this letter, nor has the request that it holds been forsaken. I have been negligent of my responsibilities toward the two of you and for that I sincerely apologize. I don't want to indulge you into thinking that this inattention of mine is the only reason that pushes me into making this bold request, no, the responsibility of being a father and a husband marks duty upon me and sheds light into my guilty conscience.
You may wonder what this palaver I am talking of is. Indeed, I have no doubt that, ignorant as you may be upon the matter, you have not heard enough to be fully acquainted with the history behind those words above. Neither was I acquainted with it until the day I decided to do research of the subject and how it ties so firmly to me. What I found was outrageous at first and I decided to shun it, but the truth couldn't be hidden forever, so several years later I went back to. Little I did know that my heedless actions would have serious repercussions on the life of the woman I once loved and that of her children.
I was born into the aristocracy of our native land, England, son of a very powerful general who owned the estate of Rosehall in Oxford and who married a woman with powerful connections with the sole purpose of producing an heir. Therefore, I was the only son and heir of both their treasures and their will and the sole scepter of their unconditional love. I grew to be a respectful young man and on my eighteenth birthday I requested permission to leave the estate and explore the country at my will. Naturally, they refused to let me go, arguing that I had to complete a formal, higher education first, which I did. Four years later, at the ripe age of twenty-one, there was no further impediment that would delay my journey. My parents watched me drive away.
I traveled north into the city of Northampton, where I met Darlene Campbell. It was in a study hall, I believe, of the little school in which she taught. It was the night shift and my good sense forbade me to let her walk alone to her home. Darlene wasn't a woman of great connections nor her family was rich, but nonetheless they were happy. Frequently, I walked her home, never revealing to her about my life in Oxford. She made me. Two years slowly died away and I discovered she held within her my child.
Both of us wept tears of happiness under the moonlight and I felt it was my duty to go back home and announce the happy news to my kinship waiting in Oxford for my return. Darlene didn't accompanied me, complaining about being nauseous, I understood, after all, she was to be my wife and the bearer of my children. The moment I set foot on Rosehall, I was lavishly bestowed kisses from my weeping mother. My letters had stopped after my first year gone. I told her I met a young lady and wanted to marry her. They would not hear about it, but I was adamant in the subject until finally they compelled to my pleas and joined me on a trip to Northampton.
They met Darlene and felt offended, not only by the fact that she was poor, but also because she had a child before marriage. They refused to see her again and left the next day. Darlene's heart was crushed and I consoled her. I didn't hear about my parents for many months, I had broken their heart. Two years filled with hardships rolled by and we were expecting our second baby. We weren't married yet. Our first was a boy, she named him Charles. I was to name our second joy Amy, but I never got the chance to see her appear in the world for I received a letter from home asking me to be with my father by his deathbed.
I parted Darlene and Charles with promises of coming back, a broken promise. My father passed away in my arms and my mother needed me to comfort her in her solitude, I oblige to her and stayed for two months. I missed my new baby's birth. A terrible winter struck Northampton and my mother told me that Darlene and my children were dead. My heart wept uncontrollably and Sarah came along.
I married Sarah and produced no heir, she died shortly after and my mother followed within the year. I was left alone and dedicated my life to charitable causes with the schools, hospitals, and farmlands nearby. Some years later, in a party held at Northampton, I heard the name of a young Charles Everwood, the coincidence was too strong to be ignored. From that moment I decided upon making research and found out that Darlene had lived and her children were healthy and young.
What decided against me visiting my former beloved and my children I'd never know, and I have lived to regret that decision for which I wish to make amends. Consider this a formal invitation to my estate, Rosehall in Oxford, soon to be in your possession. The journey is long and I'd like to see Northampton one last time, but ill health and age prevents me of doing so, and so I ask you to come visit me.
You might not know me but I look forward to the day we meet.
Your father,
Frederick Everwood.


text: LETHBRIDGE, Alberta, Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Fractions are a learning sore spot for many students. Learning them thoroughly is important for math proficiency from upper-elementary school all the way through college. To that end, a iPad/iPhone app that turns fractions into a fun, engaging experience would be helpful to parents and teachers that want to see progress in their students' math education. 4 Dice: Fraction Games is such an application. About 4 Dice: Fraction Games 4 Dice uses a "start at the end" approach to help students construct fraction equations. Using an archery-themed target number, the user is given four dice to drag into spaces in the numerator and denominator of two fractions. The type of equation (addition, subtraction, multiplication or division) is determined by the student. When the player is satisfied with the equation they created, an arrow is "shot" at the target to see if it "hits." The program then displays the math steps for performing the equation, such as finding common denominators, and the result. When a student feels up for a real challenge, "Challenge Mode" requires the player to select the math symbol used in the equation in addition to the placement of numbers in the formula. The application also supports multiple users. If one student needs to focus on subtracting fractions, while another is working on multiplying fractions, each student's progress can be separately maintained. The Scores section, accessed from the main screen, tallies each user's "hit and miss" percentage. A whiteboard feature provides simulated scratch paper to enable the learner to work through the problems.

When squeezing trigger and Depressing Clean surge Button on Upper handle of the Hooover Steam Cleaner F5914-900 there is no "snap" indicating trigger rod is in place.

A Long Story to Make a Short Point
A story of an insurance nightmare, by insurance customer advocate & author Ron Alford
"About two months ago, my husband, an electronics engineer, was working on a 3 month project in England so I decided to visit a relative over the weekend. When I returned home on Sunday night around 9:00 PM, I found that my living room, dining room and hallway were covered with about 2 inches of water.
Panicked, I ran to the neighbor for help and he shut off the water mains. In a few minutes, my neighbor told me that my dishwasher hose was the culprit. It broke and caused water to be everywhere. Everything was soaking wet and the smell was awful.
Not knowing what to do and fearing that this event was going to cost a lot of money, I tried to call my insurance agent only to find that the water had disabled the phone line. On top of everything else, my telephone did not work. No sense calling my husband, he was in England where it was 3 AM.
When I tried to call my insurance agent from my neighbor's house, all I got was a recording. My house was stinking of mold and mildew so I knew I could not stay home. I didn't feel comfortable crashing at my neighbors for many reasons so I decided to spend the night in a local hotel.
The next morning, I got in touch with my Agent and he told me that he would report my claim to the insurance company for processing. When I asked him questions about what was covered and to recommend a plumber to fix the hose on my dishwasher, my agent told me that my policy did not cover the cost to fix the broken plumbing. I thought, OK, if this is the first thing that is not covered, what else can I expect to happen? I had been his company's customer for 18 years and during this time I don't recall hearing anything from the agent about what was NOT covered.
The words I remember hearing the agent tell me and my husband were things like; God forbid, if an airplane part falls from the sky and damages your house, "You're Covered!" Now, you would think that if damage from objects falling from the sky are covered, then replacing a hose connection would be covered! But it is not.
All of a sudden, it dawned on me that I did not have a clue on what was covered and what was not. To make matters worse, it was becoming apparent that my Good Neighbor insurance agent was not going to be any help either. To the contrary, the help and advice I had expected was not forthcoming. His words were, I have nothing to do with claims of this size and you have to wait for the company's adjusters to appraise your damage and they will also interpret the coverage. What does he mean, interpret my coverage?
When I finally reached my husband on the telephone, we decided that since he could not return for at least eight weeks, I would be forced to take time off from work to manage this water damage problem. Little did we realize at the time, how much lost time, aggravation and grief I would have to endure to learn what every consumer should learn before they buy any insurance.
You can bet that the next agent that gets a premium from me will earn it.
She looked at me with despair, and said "Here I am and it is over two months later and the good neighbor insurance company is still demanding that I produce things that they know are almost impossible to find. The truth is that they are treating me as if I am a criminal who is out to cheat them.
The reason I am in your store today is the floor covering company I purchased my wall to wall carpet and draperies from is out business. I am not the kind of person who keeps cancelled checks and I don't like clutter so receipts don't last any longer than the warranty.
A little over 3 years ago, I paid around $4,300 for my wall to wall carpets and another $3,500 for matching floor to ceiling draperies. I can prove its age with photographs, which were taken by a friend a birthday party I gave her at my home thirty eight months ago. The photos show the old carpets on the floor and the old drapes on the walls. In spite of this documentation, the insurance company's adjuster tells me that she thinks that these articles appear to be much older than that and that this photograph could have been taken in another house so she wants to see proof of date of purchase and the amounts so that she can depreciate the value of my loss.
The adjuster is also the person who told me:
• That the hotel I stayed in was far too expensive.
• That if I left all of the doors and windows opened, all the mildew smell in my home would disappear.
• That my waterlogged furniture can be restored with a little furniture polish.
• That I should wash my mildew-damaged clothing at a local Laundromat.
• And a myriad of other bits of information and advice that only benefit the insurance company, not me.
Every day I have called my insurance agent to expedite this mess and to see what clout he had with the insurance company. So far, what I've gotten is no help, conflicting stories and just plain biased information. For example, at the outset of this claim, the agent told me to do one thing, yet eight days later the adjuster told me something else. Listen to this gem of misinformation.
Example of Bad Advice
The first day I called my insurance agent to find out what I needed to do to manage this mess and learn how to go about making an insurance claim, the agent told me not to do anything until the company's adjuster has an opportunity to review the damage. It took six working days before the adjuster arrived and the first question she asked (while she recorded our conversation with a hand held tape recorder) was "Why didn't you take the necessary steps to have your home and contents dried out?"
When I told her that my instructions from the agent were to "wait until you arrived" she told me that she didn't think that her supervisor was going to pay the full amount on this claim because I did not keep my end of the contract. She asked me, "Didn't you ever read your insurance contract?" Then she pulled out a copy of my "super deluxe it covers everything homeowner's insurance policy" where she pointed to a section that said, "the duties of the insured in case loss occurs." She read me the section.
I told her that she sounded like a lawyer and she said, "I am." When she said that, I almost fell through the floor. I found out that this insurance company regularly hires adjusters who are inexperienced lawyers fresh out of law school because they are affordable trained adversaries. Their main concern is to protect the insurance company's interest at all times.
"So, there you have it" she said to me. This is why I am in your floor covering store looking to buy a receipt so I can get out of this mess and get my life and home back to normal. I can't begin to tell you how this experience has moved me from being an honest and trusting consumer to coming in here and try to buy a receipt, which I realize is fraud. The only reason I am doing this is that this insurance company, its agent and adjusters has failed miserably to deliver reasonable expectations. To the contrary, my experience is that they have defrauded me and as well as every other person who will file a claim because of their actions and inaction's.
Today, I am rationalizing that if they can abuse me, it is OK with me to give them a phony receipt. This makes me sick. This normally rational woman then broke down and she started to cry uncontrollably.
The rest is history. When she got herself under control, I told her that this was her lucky day and that I wouldn't give her a receipt but I would show her exactly what she needed to do in order to get exactly what she was entitled to from her insurance company.
I did and she recovered both physically and financially before her husband came back home from England.

Bali Man Caught Having Sex With Cow Is Forced To Marry It.... Um... Her
Bali, Indonesia (The Weekly Vice) - Ngurah Alit, an 18-year-old Yeh Embang teenager, was forced to marry a cow after he was caught engaging in sexual intercourse with it.
According to village authorities, Alit was caught with his pants down, engaged in pre-marital sex with a cow.
Alit admitted to the sex act, but claimed that the cow was actually a young and beautiful woman that seduced him with flattering compliments.
Because Alit had defiled the town with his bestiality, village leaders decided he should marry the cow as part of a Pecaruan ritual devised to rid the village of the unholy act.
During the ceremony, Alit reportedly passed out, causing his mother to scream hysterically.
The cow was then drowned at sea and Alit's clothing was drowned in a symbolic gesture of cleaning. Locals refer to Alit as a "quiet kid."
Village chief Ida Bagus Legawa has declared that the village is now clean of the defilement.

Long Night, Starlight
Keller's a princess, and Zenx is a castle warrior, errand-runner for the king. But when the princess goes missing, why was Zenx the one appointed to retrieving her? And why has the king sent for her now after several months of her absence?
She stood before me, bathed in the shimmering moonlight. She was wilder now, a snarling animal reduced to insanity; I could see it in her eyes. The quiet princess who objected to nothing and did what she was told - a serene soul - was now non-existent, this creature in her place. Her appearance was what shocked me most; her hair, once a shimmering mass of silky raven-black locks, now matted and unruly, twigs and bits of grass ensnared in its knots. Her eyes that had always been calm were wild and wide, shining silver-blue, a most unusual colour. Keller's skin was pale and smeared with dirt, and then, as a gust of cold winter wind blew about, I saw the cloth of her torn tunic waffle aside to reveal a large and rather deep gash on her thigh that was still leaking. Her face though, was priceless; a look between confusion and ferocity.
''Who are you?'' her voice, once so melodic and musical was harsh and snipped, encased in ice. She didn't sound too pleased to see me. I was suddenly much more wary of the bow and quiver of arrows around her torso because she looked like she might actually be quite skilled in the field of archery. ''My name is Zenx, your highness,'' I replied softly, as though coaxing. ''I've come to bring you home.''
She snorted. ''Oh, have you now?'' her tone was mocking, the sneer on her face matching it. I felt obliged to answer, but something told me she didn't really care; and she didn't. She clasped her hands around a low-hanging branch and pulled herself up with so much ease and grace, it seemed in-human, then she rested herself in the nook of the tree, her legs drifting lazily. ''Well, after several months of my absence, it's hard to imagine I'm missed. And what kind of a name is Zenx, anyway? I've never seen you in the castle before.''
''I'm the castle's errand-runner,'' I said quickly. ''I don't reside there much.''
She shrugged as though it wasn't relevant to her - which it probably wasn't. I stood there, unsure of myself and of her. What was she thinking about in that warped mind of hers? Was she thinking to kill me? I wouldn't question it if she attempted to, after all, I was here to bring her home to her prison and for some unknown reason, too. I'd be suspicious if I were her. Then, I heard a ruffle of leaves and looked up.
''Don't move,'' said Keller's voice softly, almost a whisper. ''Stay right where you are.''
And I did, terror suddenly running over my skin in cold, sickening waves. She was perched in a predatory position on the branch, her bow set with a deadly looking arrow, and she drew it back in a motion so fast I almost didn't catch it; she let the arrow fly and it skimmed over my shoulder, and it must have pierced something deeply from the horrific cry that wailed through the surrounding area. My eyes shot back as I swiveled on spot to see a pale figure lying lifeless on the ground behind me. I turned to Keller again with widened eyes. She blinked.
''Run,'' she rasped.

ATK wins USMC 120mm mortar system contract
ATK will develop a solution to meet the US Marine Corps' (USMC) requirement for a rifled, 120mm, Precision Extended Range Mortar (PERM) under a new contract announced on 13 December. The $14.3 million contract will see ATK's Armament Systems division will serve as the prime contractor to the USMC for the 24-month PERM development programme.
The PERM programme will demonstrate a precision mortar cartridge capable of reliably providing accuracy within 20 meters circular error probable and can then be quickly transitioned to production and ultimately fielding.
The PERM initiative is integral to the USMC Ship-to-Objective-Maneuver (STOM) contingency operations that call for precision, long-range (16 – 20km) mortars fired from the Expeditionary Fire Support System (EFSS) towed-mortar platform in support of marine infantry units. The EFSS is a light, mobile and vertically transportable indirect fire support system designed for missions requiring tactical versatility, speed and close-in fire support. The EFSS is designed to be internally transportable in the MV-22B Osprey and the CH-53 helicopter and has been in fielded with the USMC since 2009.
ATK has teamed with General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS) for the programme. The ATK / GD-OTS PERM technical solution combines ATK's patented and operationally-proven precision guidance fuze technology with the GD-OTS extended-range rifled mortar energetic subsystems developed during the PERM Technical Demonstration programme.
Bruce DeWitt, vice president and general manager for ATK Armament Systems Division, said: 'This best-in-class combination provides the most reliable and affordable path to achieve the marine corps' objective of fielding a precision mortar. Using mature, proven technologies also significantly reduces development time, which we've proven by using our Precision Guidance Kit technology to deliver – in one year's time – a fully-qualified, precision mortar to meet the US Army's aggressive Accelerated Precision Mortar Initiative.'
ATK guidance fuze technology is currently being used by the US Army to meet precision guidance requirements for 155mm artillery projectiles (XM1156) and 120mm mortar cartridges (XM395). The ATK / GD-OTS PERM projectile will capitalise on these ongoing US Army development and production programmes to incorporate design commonality, lessons learned, and future product improvements.

Panesar's emergence as a bowler of genuine Test-match quality while Giles was injured this summer has given England the options of picking the man in form or playing the duo in harness under the right conditions.
"It's going to be great having those two there. As with a lot of the lads, there's competition for places in the squad which has got to be healthy," said Flintoff, named captain for the series.
Both Giles, who has not played since the second Test in Pakistan last November following hip surgery, and Flintoff, who recently underwent an ankle operation, will be aiming to complete their return to full fitness during next month's ICC Champions Trophy.
Panesar, who will not be in India after being told by chairman of selectors David Graveney to concentrate on Test cricket for the time being, will try to compete with the menace of Australia leg-spinner Shane Warne when England defend the Ashes, starting in Brisbane on November 23.
"Monty has improved a hell of a lot during the summer," added Flintoff, in London for a signing session to launch his new book - Freddie My World.
"I was in the Academy with him a few years ago and since he has played for England he has got better and better and better.
"He's obviously a favourite with the public and Ashley Giles has been a great performer for England over the past few years. He's looking very fit, he's bowling again and it's looking good."
