Observing Gail Kelly's performance in delivering Westpac's half-year earnings, its easy to imagine her teaching as she did in the early days of her career. It would be all about quality, consistency, discipline and a measured approach to improvement.
Westpac's profit contained all those features. It was a strong result that was ahead of expectations but touched with an element of caution - no special dividends as shareholders had come to expect.
She was also supportive of the government implementing tough measures in the upcoming federal budget, saying that the fiscal deficit was proving to be intractable and needed to be addressed.
But the details behind Westpac's 8 per cent improvement in cash profit will be largely appreciated by the banking analysts that trawl through the detail and judge the underlying quality of the earnings.
The trouble is investors have already factored a bumper bank reporting season into their respective share prices. It would almost impossible for any of the banks to deliver results that would warrant pushing their share prices any higher. Thus Westpac shares fell on Monday.
The focus in this banking season will be on any soft spots. Better credit quality helped the bank boost profits but left investors wondering how much more that lemon could be squeezed going forward. Last week's result from ANZ also benefited from falling provisions for bad loans and will probably feature in National Australia Bank's upcoming result.
Of course there is nothing wrong with strong asset quality - it reflects the fact that the banks have been careful with writing loans over the past few years - as opposed to the pre-GFC period when lending criteria was less stringent.
The performance of Westpac's institutional bank (which services big companies) was the only division that did not register growth, but Kelly said yesterday there were signs of more lending emerging in the areas of infrastructure, property and that we were starting to see some merger and acquisitions activity.
But most of the Westpac numbers and commentary were positive, with goods gains in all other divisions including mortgages, personal finance, funds management and the New Zealand bank.
Kelly set the scene for further improvements in the second half of the financial year, saying that while consumers remained cautious, the pace of their spending growth has lifted and confidence has trended higher.

I took the MAP just yesterday, though, b/c we had a broken condom, I was due to ovulate today, and we just can't handle having another baby right now. Really can't. Don't think I can handle another baby ever, really, but especially now. 2 of my kids are on the spectrum and dh is a grad student. Plus we live 500 miles away from closest family, and they don't come to visit. I have an appointment to get an IUD, really sucks that we had this broken condom at such a bad time, and so close to when we wouldn't even need them anymore. I don't consider the MAP to me termination. It delays ovulation, so it isn't anything at all like the abortion pill. It's also safe to take while nursing (which I am.)
When my son was 9 months old, I discovered I was pregnant. Immediately began feeling SICK and dreading a pregnancy, most of all my certain inability to nurse and parent my baby in arms in the way I want to. I wanted to be excited about becoming pregnant on my own with the baby who beat the odds, but all I felt was dread.
I was 5 weeks pregnant. I chose not to listen for a heartbeat, but to terminate the pregnancy. It was a hard decision, but I don't think I could be the kind of parent I want to be being pregnant and sick with a baby and an older child. I terminated the pregnancy. In my mind, I sent this baby on to my mom, who passed away when I was young.
The day after, I bundled up my kids and took them to the park. Just because I could! The sickness and nausea were gone and I felt relieved! Just so relieved, even though the experience was awful.
I was grateful to the doctor and nurses who were there to help me by doing a thankless job.
Now, I think and wonder about the beat the odds baby, but if you asked me to restart that pregnancy now, I just feel NO inside me. Being pregnant is a misery for me. While I would easily raise more children, I don't think I ever want to be pregnant again.
I remain pro choice. I don't think anyone should make the decision for anyone else.
No, I have never terminated a pregnancy. I don't consider a MAP a termination at all. I do consider myself lucky that with rape and stupidity I never had to deal with a termination.
I have three kids now and I've celebrated each one with a large donation to Planned Parenthood. Every parent should be a parent by choice.
I have never terminated a pregnancy. I reject the notion that the morning-after pill counts as a termination. I am pro-choice because I believe the decision needs to be up to the individuals involved rather than in the hand of politicians. There were times in the past when I would have had an abortion had I gotten pregnant, but thankfully it never came to that.
(This is a really old thread. I wonder if it's still even allowed.)
I have never had an abortion but if I needed to for medical or personal reasons, i would. I understand how difficult it is to carry, care for and raise a child. It is not a small undertaking and i feel that the option to abort is honoring that fact. A lot of women who choose to have one are doing so because they know they won't be able to care for that potential child at the level they would prefer. That is admirable to me--for someone to be conscious about what they are capable of at that point in time and how that will affect a child, then choosing what they should do given that awareness.
I know that we aren't supposed to debate abortion now, so I don't know if this thread will survive.
I think this has gone supremely well for an abortion topic.
I have never terminated, nor could I ever. I was 18 and got pregnant after a one night stand. When I thought I was pregnant (I had two negative tests; I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was in the ER after a car wreck), I imagined I would just get rid of it. That I didn't need a baby. Then when it became real, I couldn't. Somewhere in my mind, this switched and became a baby and not just a problem.
It was hard, and I was young enough that immature missteps were made along the way, but I have a pretty amazing 17 year old daughter out of the deal.
I am very pro-life. And I'm in TX, so this is a HUGE debate, right now. Honestly, I don't agree with either side of the issue (mostly because I believe it's all more about politics than true moral ground for the politicians fighting this fight - I'm not talking about most of the people fighting for their cause...), but I don't know how I'd solve it.

I regret it pretty deeply, but it took that experience to shift my perspective on the issue. The moment my perspective shifted was the exact moment I passed the baby/embryo. It was just a sudden epiphany. I really *wholeheartedly* believed the industry rhetoric beforehand. I really thought it was just a liberated & feminist move, but it really didn't feel that way IRL.
In any case, some of it was that my DH & I are both oldest children with a mom (him) & a dad (me) really sensitive to appearances. We couldn't bear to let them down. But now it seems really ridiculous, because in both families, our youngest siblings are making a mockery of any 'standards' our parents were trying to enforce. My youngest brother is quasi homeless and addicted to cr*ck & his sister is fairly open about not 'waiting until marriage' (something we felt we needed to hide less than a decade ago).
The other part was that I always thought my baby would be perfectly nurtured. When I got pregnant I was still smoking a cigarette every day & drinking a beer after work. Now I know that wouldn't have affected the baby, in the first weeks, but at the time I just felt horrible. I will say that the counselor @ PP did not help me clear up my erroneous notion when I shared it with her, I really wish I had had a relationship with a regular OB or MW, to get correct medical info . . . There was a real MW involved in my care, but I only asked questions of the counselor, who IMHO, turned out to be not qualified to answer medical questions (no medical license).
In any case, that is my story. I don't characterize myself on either side of the debate, I just share my real feelings about my real experience & our family's real loss. I love my oldest, who was born a year from the due date of my first. However, I wish dearly that I had had the ovaries to stand up to my family, I will forever be in admiration of women that do.
I do believe in a way that the soul waited for me. I am forever glad I was able to have the experience privately & non-surgically & @ home, but ironically It made it much harder for me to continue believing that this was 'just a choice' . . .
I don't believe the MAP is a termination tho, it is really not the same & is thought to only work in cases where it is able to prevent ovulation . . .
For myself, no abortions and I'm pro-choice.
ETA: Didn't realize this was such an old thread.
I'm not sure what point you thought Limabean was trying to make that you are disagreeing with, Dinah. I agree with the Marcotte post in not liking that phrase, but I'm sort of confused on how it's germane to this discussion. My read on Limabean's post is that she's just pointing out that supporting someone else's choice to have an abortion=pro-choice. That is the definition of being pro-choice. You can be pro-choice while believing you would not choose an abortion for yourself (or would not choose one again). And this clarification of what pro-choice means is often necessary, imo, because a lot of people *do* seem to think that if they wouldn't have an abortion themselves, that means they're not pro-choice.
I am sorry that you regret your decision and feel like other people around you had problematic influences on you in regards to it.
I terminated a pregnancy in 2006, 10 weeks pregnant. I had partied pretty heavily, DH and I werent married yet and we were not ready for kids. I can't say Im happy I did it, or that I don't sometimes regret it, but I think it was the best decision at the time.
We chose to get married and have kids soon afterwards. I made it very clear to him that I would never do it again simply for the reasons we did it before. I would still terminate if something was wrong with the fetus that made the chances of survival slim- I simply cannot watch another child die.

SIDS happens.
There is actually something deeply hurtful about that statement to PostAbortive women. I don't subscribe to even 90% of Amanda Marcotte's ideas, but this is one where she really gets it right:
What I am saying is that in that situation, I would not choose to abort. IMO that seems like a pretty fair thing to say; my choice to not abort is just as valid the choice to abort. And ITA that this thread revival will not last!
I have not had an unintended pregnancy, and I have had a BTL, so unlikely I ever will. i am pro-choice. I cannot honestly say if I would have had an abortion in the past, or if I would have one in the future.
Myra1, I would also bear in mind that RH Reality Check is a site for reproductive health advocates and activists, and that the advice contained in Marcotte's piece is aimed at this audience, not really the general population. It's a discussion of what language to use as a pro-choice advocate, specifically for pro-choice advocates. In that context, I agree with it. I don't think that she meant it to be extrapolated to mean that you or I or some other person should never randomly say in an unrelated discussion specifically about the subject that we wouldn't have an abortion ourselves.
I am very pro choice. I might have opinions about how others use that choice from time to time, but it is not my business to get involved in others' reproductive decisions.
No, I have never aborted. But I would if I found myself to be pregnant with a baby with serious problems. I am a peds RN who works with children with horrible quality of life issues. It's all over the spectrum, some are loved and are able to be comforted. Others are clearly having a miserable life. It is not my job to judge those parents, and I'm glad I am not in their shoes. But if I had a baby with certain conditions I would not hesitate to terminate the pregnancy or feel bad about it. I supported a friend through this situation.
I also would encourage that anyone who is against termination for any reason (and we all have the right to our opinions!), to strongly consider fostering and adopting the special needs babies that are born and saved. On my unit we get *lots* of NICU graduates with very special, complicated medical needs. They are hard to place. Their parents are unable to care for them in many cases. They come with trachs, ventilators, g-tubes, severe brain injuries, and require 24 hour care because they cannot even move and are at risk for bedsores. We have two long-term care facilities in my area for children. Yes, children live in these nursing homes. They deserve better.
I am pro-choice. I've never had to make that choice for myself personally. I will say that after 3 planned children and one very unexpected child that completely rocked our lives, if I should ever find out that despite permanent birth control measures, I was pregnant. I would not continue the pregnancy. Our family can not handle another child with the type of children we get or already have. The breaking point was reached long ago.

A mother was concerned about her son being a victim of bullies. So, rather than waiting for school officials to protect her child or letting the chips fall where they may, the mom took the matter into her own hands. She gave her son a stun gun.
As you can imagine, this created quite the controversy, and the mom's decision to protect her child has now made national headlines.
Newsone.com tells the story:
"Chelisa Grimes gave her gay son, Darnell "Dynasty" Young, a stun gun to protect himself against bullies, after she lost faith that officials at Arsenal Technical High School in Indianapolis would protect him, CNN reports.
The 17-year-old high school student says be took the stun gun to school because he didn't feel safe. On April 16, six students surrounded Young, taunting him and pelting him with homophobic insults. He then took out the gun and fired it, sending off an electric shock. The would-be bullies were abated. Young's mom says she doesn't regret her decision of giving her son a stun gun, and, in fact, would make the same decision again. However, her son is now facing expulsion."
Would you give your child a weapon to protect himself from bullies?

...and it's all part of the game.
Anyway, whether it was 1-0 or 1-1, it wouldn't have made a difference. England would top the group, Ukraine would be going out. Thanks Sweden
The big question now is who will Doru support on Sunday…?
Joost said...well this is awkward.
Really looking forward to the Netherlands <> Germany tonight. I'm confident we will win or at least tie, and it will definitely be a spectacular match (given what's at stake).
BBC coverage is already treating this as a German victory, still got 45mins to go!. 'Men against boys' was banded round a few times too…
I'm in also, especially if it involves an actually activity like paint balling.
My vote also goes for somewhere in the south.
At the moment, if you follow someone, you follow them across all marketplaces.
If you're serious about PhotoDune then you'll be wanting to add hundreds of photos a week. If I was following someone who suddenly started adding hundreds of pictures a week, I'd unfollow them pretty fast – as it would get annoying.
I think it's a smart move Mudi, good luck!
For a start, they obviously don't review their own files. I guess they could reject files which might be competition or steal ideas or techniques from files they see? Both of these would be pretty obvious, pretty fast.
The main thing though is that they get paid to work from anywhere in the world, at whatever time suits them, for an awesome company. No one would risk losing that to try to get more sales on one of their files.
Also, I put my eggs in the fridge – but I like to hide some in the vegetable tray, just in case.
Guys calm down, it wasn't really aliens.
Seriously, absolute worst case right now is that you've used copyrighted content, ignored all the warnings and will now get your account soft-disabled until you fix the infringements.
Envato is protecting you, because the alternative is risking getting sued.
Thanks Jarel.
I hear what you're saying but I still think it's got something to do with aliens.

For a renovation fo the Studio des Ursulines, an elegant art-house Parisian theater founded by actors Armand Tallier and Laurence Myrga in the '20s, H20 Architects settled on a strategy to maximize efficiency. In the theater's newly renovated lobby, many of its typical functions have been consolidated into one feature—a modular cluster of moving brick-like parts.
The theatre fixture can serve as the lobby's cash register as well as its intermission seating. When it doesn't have any particular use, it is the lobby's central sculptural element. It can adapt to other functions as need arises: seating and tables but also storage and exhibition space. Various register functions, including phone and printer, are concealed by the fixture's folds.
The fixture is tinted black and built on a sliding brass base. When the base's expandable boxes are all closed, the lobby space regains maximal peripheral area—another functions the fixture facilitates.

Strength Training in Junior High
Some seventh graders are getting more than a workout during PE class.  Â
"It is definitely a foot in the door for them for lifetime fitness," said coach Kris Palmerton.
He says they are learning the proper techniques for strength training -- not to be confused with weightlifting or bodybuilding.  Â
"Everything we do is high repetitions, very low weight, increasing the flexibility, muscle endurance," he said. "We certainly are not trying to increase muscle mass at this age group by any means." Â Â
Lifting heavy weights can result in injury -- straining young muscles, tendons and growth plates. Palmerton believes middle school-aged students have the right skills and body development to follow his program. still, he keeps a close eye on the class, watching for mistakes.  Â
"That's the key, is learning how to use the machines properly, proper extension, contraction of the muscle," said Palmerton.Â
He tells students proper training will help their performance in other sports. while these young teens may not worry about it now, the exercises can lead to better heart and lung function, lower cholesterol, stronger bones and a fitness habit that could last well beyond 7th grade. Â

Canada's jobs numbers for June were "shocking," "awful any way you cut it," or "squishy soft," according to economists. More worrisome yet, they raise the possibility that the domestic economy can't count on the U.S. recovery to help drive job growth.
The two countries have travelled opposing trajectories in recent months, with the U.S. economy spitting out new jobs at a robust pace while Canada has struggled to generate any momentum at all.Report Typo/Error

The challenges just keep coming for Rev. Jesse Jackson Jr and his wife Sandi. It is now being reported that Sandi filed amended paperwork to her ward committee's campaign fund shortly after her husband resigned from Congress. The transactions dated back three years, leading some to question the couple's use of taxpayer money. One of the reported items includes $13,000 from her husband's congressional account that had not been disclosed in the past.
There is another $1,250 in monthly transfers to his wife's Independent Political Organization, which she reported to be for rent. But the 7th ward disclosure doesn't list the purpose of the payments.

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Open Educational Resources (OERs) can be seen as social movement but are also implemented as strategic measures in higher education institutions (HEIs). This chapter describes the current aims and experiences of OERs in HEIs. Starting with definitions and milestones in respect of the current status, this chapter gives an overview of projects and implementation objectives and it describes two concrete case studies, i.e., the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Open CourseWare project and the OpenLearn project at the Open University in the United Kingdom. The aim of this chapter is to give a comprehensive overview to decision makers and policy drivers within higher education organizations, and thus it develops a blueprint of an implementation model.

Dear Adinda,
That's good to hear.
Another useful article I've come across this week is by the Little Hearts gentle parenting author LR Knost (I really like her work); Picky Eater? Here's Help! . Here's what she says:
'Its simply human nature that, if a child (or an adult, for that matter!) knows that they dont have to try a new food and that they can run to the trashbin and spit it out if they do try it and dont like it, then they are far, far more likely to give it a chance. And if they dont try it the first time its offered, or if they do try it and dont like it, making it available again off and on in the future will give them more opportunities to try the food and perhaps end up liking it when their tastes mature a bit more.'
Hope this helps with your approach.
Warm wishes,

Mutant Storm Empire is one of the most recent examples of the shoot 'em up renaissance that is now taking place via Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade gaming download service. The gameplay mechanic isn't that original (use the left analog stick to move, use the right one to fire), which is why this game seems to be getting overlooked as just another Geometry Wars clone. Or, if you were a coin-op kid in the '90s, you might prefer to think of it as a Smash TV clone. Regardless of what it's cloning, it looks great doing it, complete with beautiful HD graphics that might best be described as bloopy alien polygons. The control is fantastic and responsive, and the strange alien worlds are beautifully laid out and quite intuitive to navigate. Perhaps best of all, there is pretty much no fanfare behind this game right now, so it's a fantastic game with which to surprise someone with what is an extremely fun, and at its highest level staggeringly hard, gaming experience. At only 10 bucks, it's also one of the most affordable gifts you could possibly come up with this year.

I used to have all sorts of crazy things..
I had to make certain noises it was worst in about 6th or 7th grade.
I used to blink all of the time.
I have a few twitches mostly doing stuff with my neck muscles, or throat.
Nothing is bad or affects my life. The noises I made used to at times.
I don't like odd numbers, such as tv volume, but I can deal with it if I have to.
I used to open and close the right and left doors on my hotwheels cars the same number of times (matchbox actually, because mattel thought they were too cool to offer opening doors)
So my sister grabbed one from me one day, but it behind her back and opened and closed one of the doors about 20 times and wouldn't tell me which one. That cured me of that compulsion real quick.

Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.
Hospitality was taught by example in most Mennonite homes. Friends, family and neighbours knew they were welcome at any time and it was not unusual to invite strangers for a meal – the farm hands, salesmen, a family in need.
So many think that hospitality requires a specially set table and a fancy meal. However in our busy lives, most of us don't have the time or inclination to do this.
The hospitality the Bible speaks of merely requires that we willingly share what we have with others.
A bowl of soup, take out pizza, a cup of coffee or the beautifully prepared meal – a warm bed, the offer of a ride, or a place to stay when misfortune strikes. All are ways to show hospitality to one another.
And don't forget to extend that same hospitality to your children, your parents, and yes, even to yourself. In doing so you are a living example of the grace God has extended to you.

Cray babes, just a pic
I have had zero luck in getting babies to survive (she's had two batches) but this is her best hatching yet and there are tons more plants and hidey holes in the tank now so I'm hopeful. She was showing off tonight so got a quick pic with my Iphone/Olloclip lens. Thanks for letting me share:)
Cray babes, just a pic
Awesome! Hope the babies stick around!
Awesome picture. Only crays I've ever had were marmorkrebs which bred pretty true. That's a CPO?
That's weird, those cray babies are super durable. I would remove the male and female cause they will sometimes eat the babies.
Nope, not gunna;) Last batch I moved the female to her own tank, took her out the minute I saw the babies had climbed off, could only find one at the time and I had only been gone for 3 hours. She had them all when I left, when I came back she had one still attached and one in the tank. The one in the tank molted about an hour after I found him and he got stuck in his molt. I helped him out of it. He lived for probably another 5 days then just disappeared. Nothing in the tank but snails and him. The baby she had stuck to her was moving fine on her belly, I went to intentionally spook her to see if he'd shake loose and he fell off dead. So my 'efforts' aren't going into them anymore after all that. They can either live on their own or not. But that baby that lived for 5 days couldn't walk hardly at all the first two days. Laid on his back most of the time threatening to die. Then he perked up and started actually being mobile. Then he was gone.
The first batch she had I never saw them. Saw them clinging to her belly one day, then they had walked off and I never saw any survivors. I shall assume she ate them all in the few hours I was away.
And yes, Puddles, those are CPOs.
I count 15 babies! That's a really nice pic.

Those eyes remaining me for:
Babies are usually hardy as nuts too. Should be much easier than shrimp.
Dont worry ravensgate, they'll get used to it eventually... I have probably over 100 in a 20 gallon tank and they all seem to still breed and survive. Hiding places helps! The babies look like juvie RCS, which is confusing in the aquarium I have them in because it also has RCS.
breaking the line of sight has been the secret to my success. i have a ton of obstacles in my 10g which has my stock of 7 turn in to 40+ over several months. Yes im hoarding :D
Liam- you keep rcs in the same tank safely? hmm havent considered that
The whole tank is hideous looking from all the hides holes in there and moss. I'll eventually tidy it up. Heehee! Mine are in with about 50 shrimp right now. Fortunately that one that lived for about a week was by himself so I could get a good look at him. So I hope I cAn tell the difference if these manage to make it. My other female is sterile as far as I can tell. She berries but all eggs turn orange and fall off.
Acity I have only witnessed a cray eating a shrimp one time. No idea if the cray killed it though. The shrimp are too fast for them. I wouldn't keep expensive shrimp with them but I've just got PfRs and Supremes in there.
i dont' find them too difficult to tell from shrimp babies, they have a very "rigid and upright" carriage that is quintessentially crayfish, lol.
Great pic. Hope everything works out.

Well most have walked off today....have seen about 5 and they are walking and moving good which is better than the last little dude from her last batch. Kinda shocked to see them. And had a batch of baby shrimps born today too so I'm hoping that gives the crays something else to focus on. I'll start pulling whatever babies are left in about a week I guess.
nice pic of the baby cray!~looks good!

I am planning or at least considering installing another EFM stoker (already have it). The unit currently in place is a 520 highboy with a badly rusted base, (I drilled and tapped 3 inch angle iron to each corner some time back), weak domestic hot water coil (never replaced) in over 50 years. I have a much newer unit that was originally set up for hot water sitting in my cellar. The unit is fired year round.
So I guess I have a number of choices, continue using the exisitng unit.
Refurbish the existing unit, new base, new domestic coil etc.
Install other unit as a steam system
install other unit as a hot water system.
I do plan to continue to live there for a long time, I hope, so while money is an issue it is not the primary deciding factor.
On other thing I would like to change is that I have 3 upstairs bedrooms that do not have heat, one that does, ($ was a deciding factor when my Father installed the system). Hot water would be more efficient and perhaps more easily zoned, but with good steam vents that isn't too much of an issue.
Advice and plusses or minuses would be appreciated. Also, how much more efficient is HW than steam? Thanks in advance, Jim

Local leaders can breathe a sigh of relief.
On Monday, Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano vetoed a bill that would have altered the way local governments collect development impact fees.
Napolitano said she vetoed the bill because it was a "piecemeal" approach to an issue that deserves a "comprehensive" solution.
Oro Valley was joined by 14 cities and towns across the state in opposition to the bill. There are 90 cities and towns in the state, and 42 of those charge development impact fees of some kind.
Sponsored by Tim Bee, the Republican Senate president and congressional candidate, the law would have required governments to estimate infrastructure costs of a proposed development and figure the amount of tax revenue the property will generate.
The plan also sought to prohibit raising existing or levying new impact fees on approved developments for 24 months.
Despite the veto, Oro Valley Town Councilman Bill Garner said the town would still seek to enact new fees as planned.
Last year, an independent study recommended a fee boost to benefit parks and recreation, libraries, roads, general government and police.
In May, the town council approved a notice of intent to raise those and water-related impact fees.
Last summer, the council approved an increase to existing impact fees annually over five years.
A public hearing on the existing and proposed impact fees is scheduled for Wednesday, July 16.

18 Named in Superseding Indictment Charging Conspiracy, Aggravated ID Theft
Every United States Attorney's office has a Victim/Witness Assistance Program to assist victims of federal crimes. The Program seeks to provide information on rights and services to victims and witnesses of federal crimes, and to encourage the participation of victims in the criminal justice system in accordance with federal law. Federal crimes where assistance may be provided include bank and postal robberies, child pornography, financial crimes surrounding telemarketing and investment fraud, identity theft, hate crimes, as well as homicides, sexual assault, and child abuse, if the crime occurred on federal land. The Victim Witness Coordinator can be reached at 412-894-7400.
Victims Rights
Victims have certain rights which are listed in Title 42, United States Code, Section 10606, including the right to:
- be treated with fairness and with respect for the victim's dignity and privacy;
- be reasonably protected from the accused offender;

- be present at all public court proceedings related to the offence, unless the court determines that testimony by the victim would be materially affected if the victim heard other testimony at trial;
- confer with the attorney for the Government in the case;
- receive restitution; and
- obtain information about the conviction, sentencing, imprisonment and release of the offender.
The United States Attorney's Office will make our best efforts to ensure you are provided the rights described. Section 3771(c)(2) requires that we advise you that you have the right to retain counsel. Although the Act specifically sets forth your right to seek advice of an attorney with regard to your rights under the Act, there is no requirement that you retain counsel.

Special Order
The old approaches to fighting crime just aren't working. Two thirds of people released from prison commit anothercrime within two years. In Smart on Crime, career prosecutor Kamala D. Harris shatters the old distinctions, rooted in false choices and myths, and offers a compelling argument for how to make the criminal justice system truly, not just rhetorically, tough. Harris spells out the necessary shifts that will increase public safety, reduce costs, and strengthen our communities when our politicians and law enforcement officials learn how to become tough and smart on crime.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials say the Obama administration is considering the possibility of staging American troops in Kuwait next year as a backup or rotational training force for Iraq after the Pentagon completes the scheduled withdrawal of its current 45,000-strong force from Iraq in December.
The proposal has not yet been publicly announced. It is among a number of options the administration is considering for extending its military training role in still-violent Iraq, whose divided government has been reluctant to directly ask Washington to keep troops on its soil beyond this year.
All troops are to depart Iraq by Dec. 31 under a 2008 security agreement, but senior U.S. officials are concerned that without more training the Iraqi forces may squander hard-won security gains.

Gas prices continue to rise in wake of Hurricane Isaac
ATLANTA - Experts say Hurricane Isaac has caused oil companies to pull workers from rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, curbing production at refineries and driving up oil prices in metro Atlanta.
Prices went up 10 cents overnight, and prices reach as high as $4.19 at one gas station in Buckhead. AAA says the average in metro Atlanta is around $3.90.
A Cobb County gas station owner told Channel 2's Rachel Stockman the effects of Isaac trickle down to him, and he is notified by his supplier when to raise prices.
"When the price of oil goes up, I have to go up. I can't sell below cost, I lose money," gas station owner Ibrahim Musleh said.
Buckhead resident Sims Lamason drives a large SUV and with the price of gas close to $4 a gallon around metro Atlanta, it's causing him to cut costs in other areas.
"Luckily, I don't have to drive a lot but when it costs 60 bucks to fill up your car, it becomes an issue," Lamason told Channel 2's Dave Huddleston.
The price of gas is also an issue for DeKalb resident Gracie Howie.
She is now spending $90 a week to take her children back and forth to school.
"We are now car pooling with other parents to cut the costs of gas. It's ridiculous," she said.
Monday gas was about $3.75 per gallon of regular, in Metro Atlanta; now it's about $3.98 per gallon.
Steve Baker, who represents the Colonial Pipeline Company, said there is plenty of gas in the pipeline and it's up and running, but he can't say the same about the oil refineries in the Gulf Coast states.
"Our biggest concern is loss of power to refineries in the Gulf. If they don't have power to run, that's when we could lose production," Baker said. "We do have generators for the pipeline to keep that going, but the refineries, that's a different story."
Petroleum experts said the price of gas will most likely continue to increase through the Labor Day weekend, when demand is higher and our supply from the Gulf Coast could be less.
Channel 2 Meteorologist David Chandley said the risk for severe weather in metro Atlanta from Isaac is very low.
Isaac brings flooding, power outages to Louisiana
Hurricane Isaac began a slow, drenching slog inland from the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday, pushing water over a rural Louisiana levee and stranding some people in homes and cars as the storm spun into a newly fortified New Orleans exactly seven years after Katrina.
Although Isaac was much weaker than the 2005 hurricane that crippled the city, the threat of dangerous storm surges and flooding from heavy rain was expected to last all day and into the night as the immense comma-shaped storm crawled across Louisiana.
Army Corps spokeswoman Rachel Rodi said the city's bigger, stronger levees were withstanding Isaac's assault.
"The system is performing as intended, as we expected," she said. "We don't see any issues with the hurricane system at this point."
There were initial problems with pumps not working at the 17th Street Canal, the site of a breach on the day Katrina struck, but those pumps had been fixed, Rodi said.
Rescuers in boats and trucks plucked a handful of people who became stranded by floodwaters in thinly populated areas of southeast Louisiana. Authorities feared many more could need help after a night of slashing rain and fierce winds that knocked out power to more than 500,000 people.
The extent of the damage was not entirely clear because officials did not want to send emergency crews into harm's way. So far, Plaquemines Parish, a fishing community south of New Orleans, seemed to be the hardest hit.
About two dozen people who stayed behind despite evacuation orders needed to be rescued from the east bank of Plaquemines Parish. The flooding appeared to be widespread.
"We've got problems all across the south," said Kevin Davis, director of the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness.
Two police officers had to be rescued by boat after their car became stuck. Rescuers were waiting for the strong winds to die down before moving out to search for other people.
"The winds are too strong and the rain too strong," Plaquemines Parish spokeswoman Caitlin Campbell said.
Water driven by the large and powerful storm flooded over an 18-mile stretch of one levee in Plaquemines Parish south of New Orleans. The levee, one of many across the low-lying coastal zone, is not part of the new defenses constructed in New Orleans after Katrina.
As Isaac's eye Isaac passed over Terrebonne Parish, a fishing village about 40 miles southwest of New Orleans, Sheriff Jerry Larpenter said authorities in armored vehicles saved a family after the roof was ripped off their house. He said other people had called wanting to be evacuated.
"I think a lot of people were caught with their pants down. This storm was never predicted right since it entered the Gulf. It was supposed to go to Florida, Panama City, Biloxi, New Orleans," he said. "We hope it loses its punch once it comes in all the way."
Isaac was packing 80 mph winds, making it a Category 1 hurricane. It came ashore at 7:45 p.m. EDT Tuesday near the mouth of the Mississippi River, driving a wall of water nearly 11 feet high inland and soaking a neck of land that stretches into the Gulf.
The storm stalled for several hours before resuming a slow trek inland, and forecasters said that was in keeping with the its erratic history. The slow motion over land means Isaac could be a major soaker, dumping up to 20 inches of rain in some areas. But every system is different.
"It's totally up to the storm," said Ken Graham, chief meteorologist at the National, Weather Service office in Slidell, La.
Isaac's winds and sheets of rain whipped New Orleans, where forecasters said the city's skyscrapers could feel gusts up to 100 mph.
National Guard ready to respond
The Georgia National Guard is ready to respond to hurricane Issac in Alabama and Mississippi.
Channel 2's Ross Cavitt went inside the National Guard's Joint Operations Center on Tuesday to see how the center will help.
The Georgia Guard was watching because if the situation turns bad, the
governor of Louisiana or Mississippi may turn to Georgia for help, and Georgia's governor would instantly look to the National Guard.
"We just had a conference call this morning with a number of states that are affected," Georgia Adjutant General Jim Butterworth told Cavitt.
If the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina seven years ago taught officials anything, it's that a quick and organized response saves lives.
The Georgia Guard's Joint Operations Center is designed to make that happen, to know where the state's potential assets are at any given time, and how quickly they could head to the disaster.
guard's commander told Cavitt that Louisiana has already been asking those questions.
"They called and say 'Hey. For planning purposes, how many C-130s, how many Chinook helicopters, how many Blackhawk helicopters are there? And we provide that information and we're leaning forward if needed," Butterworth said.
"It's better to have too many conversations about it than not
enough. That goes a long way especially in response time and getting enough time to plan, prepare and respond to a natural disaster," said Col. Anthony Abbott of the Georgia National Guard
And if a hurricane takes aim on this state, this new command center's engine would start running at full speed.

(Not So) Lonesome Roads - New American Chamber Music
Our album of the week is "Lonesome Roads", an album of lyrical chamber music with interjections of jazz and minimalism by the young American composer Dan Visconti. Most of the pieces are impeccably rendered by the Scharoun Ensemble and other members of the Berlin Philharmonic. The titular and most recent composition on the album is performed by the Horszowski Trio.
"Chamber Works for Oboe" is the result of a 20-year-long collaborative relationship between composer Thea Musgrave and oboist Nicholas Daniel. Daniel is the perfect interpreter for Musgrave's dramatic music, and the timbre of the oboe is especially suited to her eerier compositions, from the recently-composed Night Windows to Niobe, which was written long before the two met.
A new release from the Boston Modern Orchestra Project features six concertos by Thomas Oboe Lee conducted by Gil Rose. The piano concerto, Mozartiana, is tailor-made for Robert Levin's clear, impeccably classical tone. Another stand-out piece, Flauta Carioca, featuring flutist Sarah Brady, is heavily influenced by the music of Brazil, where Lee lived for six years. The album also includes concertos for oboe, harp, violin and cello.


text: SHANGHAI, Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation ("SMIC"; NYSE: SMI; SEHK: 981), China's largest and most advanced semiconductor foundry, today announced that its customers' bank card IC products adopting SMIC's eEEPROM platform have obtained China Union Pay certifications. SMIC's 0.18-micron eEEPROM technology is one of SMIC's differentiated offerings for mature process nodes. The platform is targeted at China's fast-growing dual-interface financial IC card market, as well as the worldwide market for contactless smart cards, and any other applications requiring secure identification and frequent data updates.

"SMIC's eEEPROM platform includes both 0.18-micron and 0.13-micron technologies, with 0.13-micron delivering up to 50% reductions in both memory area and power consumption," said Dr. TY Chiu, Chief Executive Officer & Executive Director of SMIC. "Since our eEEPROM platform is 100% compatible with our logic process, logic IP can be directly applied on our eEEPROM platform. We believe the platform's significant decrease in size, higher speed, lower leakage and improvements in power consumption will help our customers introduce many highly differentiated products." "I am very pleased to see SMIC's progress in the financial IC card field," said Qin Sheng Wang, Council Chair for the China Semiconductor Industry Association IC Design Branch. "The financial IC card industry has huge market potential and robust demand in China. Chinese companies need to work together to conquer the challenges brought by the strong demand. I believe SMIC plays an essential role in leveraging its technology capability to collaborate within the China IC ecosystem and contribute to the localization of China's financial IC cards."

Amazing Design
Our boats come from a heritage of sturdy, long wearing work boats with indestructible hulls. For 18 years we have been designing and building those hulls to perform up and down the east coast, constantly refining the design to improve efficiency and performance.
We pride ourselves on delivering an amazing experience, and part of that experience is building a boat that fits our customers individual needs. Since we do not pull parts from molds the way fiberglass builders do, you get the benefit of having the customization start from day one.
In today's world of high gas prices, we pride ourselves on delivering not only an amazing experience but an affordable one. Our boat's design has a drastically reduced weight in comparison with other boats of the same size due to its aluminum construction. This means less is spent on fuel for both using and towing the boat.
