AStar B3, 3 Bell 206Ls, Cessna 210 and 206 form Miami-Dade Police fleet
Largest local LE agency in southeastern US protects 2.4 million residents-and 10 million visitors a year.
By Brent Holman
ATP/CFI/Helo. Airbus A320, Bell 206L
MDPD Aviation Unit operates a Eurocopter AS350B3 AStar equipped for tactical operations-it is shown here flying over Biscayne Bay with the Miami skyline in the background. The unit also flies 3 Bell 206L4 LongRangers and 2 single-engine Cessnas for transport and surveillance.
Officer/Pilot Paul Wessel, a 28-year veteran of the Miami-Dade Police Dept (MDPD), spooled the turbine of the Bell 206L LongRanger to 100%, tweaked the governor and lifted off the pad at the OPF (Opa-Locka, Miami FL) police ramp into the cool, night air over Miami-Dade County.
Leveling off at 800 ft-his night-time noise abatement patrol altitude-he turned on the 16-million candlepower Spectrolab SX16 Nightsun searchlight. And left it on. For the remainder of his patrol, he scanned the beacon left and right as the helicopter flew overhead, bathing the buildings below in a brilliant light and dispelling the shadows that those with ill intent could use as concealment.
"The bad guys hate the light," Wessel states matter-of-factly. "When they see the light they know that the helicopter's there-and that it greatly increases their chance of going to jail." Wessel makes it a habit to use the searchlight on routine patrol to increase police presence in the neighborhood or industrial area he is flying over-just like a patrol car would do on street patrol, only to a much greater extent.
"The helicopter with the searchlight acts as a force multiplier in crime prevention," according to Wessel, who regularly illuminates schools, churches, commercial buildings and other likely targets of criminal activity while he flies his late night patrols.
A tangible example of the value of this kind of proactive stance occurred one night while flying routine patrol-a fast-moving SUV caught Wessel's trained eye. Experience told him it might be a stolen car, and a determined sweep of light with the Nightsun confirmed his suspicions that the vehicle's occupants were up to no good.
"Once they saw the light, they briefly attempted to elude me, stopping under a tree and bailing out of the car," he recalls. Wessel hovered overhead and kept the light trained on the driver, who had made a poor fashion choice that evening by wearing reflective sneakers.
An arrest by ground units brought the chase to a quick end, sending what turned out to be a murderer to jail for life. Wessel's tactics produce results-like all his colleagues at the Miami-Dade Police Aviation Unit, he is a proactive officer who makes cases with his counterparts on the ground beat and gets the bad guys off the street.
Largest PD in the Southeast

MDPD is the largest local law enforcement agency in the southeast and the 8th largest in the US. It protects 2.4 million residents and 10 million annual visitors across almost 2000 square miles of land, bay, ocean and swamp.
Miami- Dade County also includes MIA (Intl, Miami FL)-one of the busiest airports in the nation-and the Port of Miami-the largest cruise ship terminal on the planet. In the last year for which data was available, MDPD received more than 2.2 million 911 calls from people needing help.
Providing airborne support to the 3000 sworn officers making up the MDPD is the responsibility of the Aviation Unit, led by Capt Michael Cundle of the MDPD Special Patrol Bureau and Lt Jesus Ramirez, head of the Aviation Unit.
Sergeants Tom Turpin and Andrew Cohen complete the unit's leadership team. They share responsibility for the operational administration of the group's 10 pilots and manage the unit's 6 aircraft.
The current fleet, which is split between OPF and TMB (Kendall-Tamiami, Miami FL), consists of 3 Bell 206L4 LongRangers and a Eurocopter AS350B3 AStar, plus a Cessna 206 Stationair and a Cessna P210 Riley Rocket.
Three more AStars are on order for delivery through 2011 and will replace the LongRangers as they are acquired. Four maintenance technicians cover both bases under Aircraft Technician Supervisor John Murman.
This team has accounted for over 10,000 flight hours per helicopter since 1994 as well as significant law enforcement activity. In the 2007-08 time frame, for example, MDPD Aviation Unit was involved in 988 felony arrests, 206 stolen vehicle recoveries and the location of 178 missing persons.
MDPD is a proactive air unit that continues to increase its capabilities through the acquisition of the best technology available and broaden the scope of its mission by supporting the specialized law enforcement teams throughout the agency.
Stiff competition
Pilot Sgt Tom Turpin is a supervisor responsible for operations and training at MDPD Aviation Unit. This is "absolutely the best assignment of my career," he says. "Now I never want to retire!" The sentiment is echoed by Officer/Pilot Carlos Hernandez, the unit's most senior pilot:
"It's a fun job, every day is different and you know you are accomplishing something." It's a highly competitive job to get, too. All MDPD pilots must be sworn officers first-and each of the 10 officers and 2 sergeants currently assigned to the unit has about 20 years with the agency.
Once assigned to the Aviation Unit, they rarely leave until retirement from the department. Some of the reasons why pilot positions are so sought after are the high quality of the equipment they fly, the wide variety of police work they are involved in, good work schedules and competitive pay.
Ramirez explains the hiring and training process that will take place when the next retirement opens up a pilot position. "The primary requirement is that the candidate must be a sworn officer with MDPD and off of probation-after that, interested individuals complete a competitive interview process."
A commercial certificate with helicopter and instrument ratings is no longer required. However, MDPD currently has more than 3000 sworn officers, so competition for the few pilot slots that become available is intense.
The candidate pool is highly qualified too. Officer/Pilot Bruce Beer was selected for the unit after serving in the US Navy as a fighter pilot, flying for a major airline and working the street with MDPD for 5 years.

In many cities the only way for tourists to access the internet is through the government's communications centers. Look for buildings bearing the name "ETECSA", which stands for Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba S.A. ETECSA also has internet stations in some of the larger government hotels and resorts. The connection speed is comparable to analog dial-up speed in Havana or slower in smaller locations, at a cost of 6 CUC/hour. This is payable by purchasing a prepaid scratch card with a PIN code granting you access for one hour. The same card can be used throughout the country at any ETECSA terminal, allowing you to disconnect after your session and use the remaining time on the card further at the next hotel/city you go to.
WI-FI in hotels and restaurants is certainly uncommon if not non-existent and tourists should not rely on this being available when planning their means of communication.
See also International Telephone Calls
The country calling code to Cuba is 53. To make an international call from Cuba, the code is 119. The emergency number is 116 and information number 113.
GSM cell phones will work in Cuba (900 MHz). Cuba is one of the most expensive countries in which to communicate. When bringing your own cellphone, incoming phonecalls to Cuba cost about $1/minute. Outgoing calls from Cuba are similarly expensive, and can be as high as $5 per minute for making international when roaming with your cellphone from overseas.
A better way is to rent cellphones, which is possible at several stores in Havana, including one in the airport. The rates are 9 CUC per day (6 CUC for the phone and 3 CUC for the SIM card), plus about 36 cents a minute for prepaid cards. If you bring an unlocked GSM phone operating at 900 MHz (or quad-band world phone) you can buy a SIM card for 111 CUC, plus your prepaid minutes. If you're staying two weeks or more it makes sense to bring a cheap phone, buy a SIM card and prepaid minutes, then give the phone to a Cuban friend when you leave. Cellphones are among the most desired items for Cubans (bring a case for the phone too, Cubans are very fussy about keeping their phones scratch-free). You will have to go to a cellphone store with your friend and sign a paper to give the phone to your friend.
Correos de Cuba operates the Cuban postal service. They are generally quite slow, and delivery is never guaranteed. Mail is read by Cuba's censors; avoid politically sensitive comments. Also, never send cash! Post offices (correos) usually are open weekdays 8:00am to 6:00pm and on Saturday 8:00am to 3:00pm, but hours can vary widely. Most tourist hotels accept mail for delivery as well, which might be a better option. International airmail (correo aereo) averages from at least 2 weeks to over one month, and even domestic posts might take 1-2 weeks. When mailing from Cuba, write at least the country destination in Spanish (as well). International postcards, cost CUC 0.50 to all destinations; letters cost CUC 0.80. Within Cuba, letters cost from 15 centavos (20 grams or less) to 2.05 pesos (up to 500 grams); postcards cost 10 centavos. Stamps are available in US dollars as well (if buying at hotels, this is actually your only option) and can be bought at hotels and blue and white kiosks labelled Correos de Cuba. Parcels from Cuba must be unwrapped for inspection. It is far better to send packages through an express courier service, like DHL or the Cuban local one (called EMS), although the same regulation applies.

This artpack, called "Elven Armies", consists of assorted troops (footsoldiers, cavalry units, leaders, corpses, etc.), all rendered in 4 unique homogenous styles, allowing you to depict elven warriors of four different Elven armies or Elven subraces (High Elf, Wood Elf, Moon Elf, Night Elf). There are 22 distinct tokens for each type of Elf, including both a "Ready/Idle" pose and an "In Combat" pose for each of the 11 distinct figures (ideal for use with BRPG's token-swapping feature).
In addition to the Elf tokens, this artpack also contains tokens depicting saddled (but riderless) horses (3), centaurs (3), and a humongous Silver Dragon (3).
All 97 figures in this 14.6 MB artpack come pre-sized and pre-rotated for use in Battlegrounds. They've all been scaled to match each other in relative size, and are all high-resolution (122 pixels per cell), so they won't pixelate even at full zoom in BRPG. The figures are suitable for a game scale of 3 feet per hex (and 5 feet per square, too, of course).
Even when you don't need an army, many of these figures can be used to represent PCs or NPCs, so they should be useful in a number of games.
The "Elven Armies" artpack costs $10 for GMs (but, like all artpacks, is free for players). It can be purchased from the BG Store. Half of the proceeds will go to Alynnalizza (the artist), and the other half to support continued development of BRPG. And if this artpack does well, Alynnalizza will probably create more artpacks in the future.
The "Elven Armies" artpack makes a great companion set for the "Medieval Armies" artpack.
Note that players will need to have this artpack installed during sessions where the GM will use it, and everyone must be using BRPG v1.4i or higher.
Below are preview images of the four Elf types included in this pack. All the screenshots were taken at 200% zoom, so that you can see all the detail. Be sure to click on each image to see it at full size.

Note that the Night Elves are color mods of the Moon Elves, rather than custom renders.

If I had that kind of jewelry I would not keep it in my safe. I think I might did a whole in the back yard and keep it there. I also have a big barky dog. Our safe is used to keep very important papers , those are papers that we want to save from fire. Don't suggest that a person use a safety deposit box, they are not really safe anymore.

Hello everyone. I'm a fairly new author here (since October) and I was just wondering how much of a sales decline everyone experiences around the holidays? It's been pretty slim for me since Sunday so I was curious as to what other authors are experiencing.
Happy holidays!
same here. I get like 50% of the normal sales.
Thanks for the input. I'm also seeing about a 50-60% decline, but things seem to be picking up again slowly. Happy holidays everyone!
No sales for last few days here, but I also didn't upload anything new soon so it may also be a reason.
I just had one sale few minutes ago so I want to say thanks to buyer, maybe he/she reads this thread.
It's funny but i get the same or close amount of sales every month.
I guess it also depends on your overall volume. Someone thats moving quite a few files a month isn't really going to notice a few days decline compared to newer authors not selling quite as much.

Botswana's Approach to Fighting
and Economic Crime
The rapid pace of Botswana's development, since gaining independence in 1996, has presented her with both benefits and problems. As for benefits, the development of her mineral resources has made the country rapidly self-reliant. It is the pace of Botswana's development that has been the root of her problems of corruption and economic crime. Development has entailed both the acquisition of considerable revenues and a rapid expansion of the public service. Maintaining tight control over both has proved difficult despite political determination. Inevitably weaknesses have evolved, particularly at middle management level where delegated authorities have been abused. The country recognises the extent of the problems it faces and it has taken resolute action in the form of the enactment of specific and powerful legislation and the establishment of a dedicated anti-corruption body.
Fortunately corruption has never been publicly acceptable in Botswana and when scandals did erupt they were met with general condemnation. Matters came to a head in the late 1980s and early 1990s with several major corruption scandals, some involving very senior and prominent people. These led to the establishment of Commissions of Enquiry. The reports of these enquiries recognised that Botswana had problems and that there was a perception, albeit an incorrect one, that Government was powerless, or lacked the political will, or both, to address the issues.
The Botswana Government recognised that to deal effectively with the problems, they had to be addressed resolutely, that those involved in corruption and economic crime should face the full force of the law, irrespective of their status or political affiliation. The Government also recognised that its own actions would need to be transparent and accountable, as they would certainly be subject to scrutiny.
Changes in law were necessary to create clearly defined offences; to provide specific powers of investigation, and create effective deterrent punishments for those convicted.
The Government of Botswana took account of the significant achievements of other jurisdictions where all of the above criteria had been recognised. The approach, which has achieved substantial results, involves the need for investigation and prosecution; public education and corruption prevention.
In 1994, the Government of Botswana enacted the Corruption and Economic Crime Act. This created new offences of corruption, including being in control of disproportionate assets or maintaining an unexplained high standard of living. To deal with these offences a new body (DCEC - The Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime) was created and given special powers of investigation, arrest, search and seizure.
The DCEC, which has its headquarters in Gaborone and an office in Francistown, now has an establishment of over 100 officers. By the end of 1999 it had received 5250 reports, since inception, from which it has launched 1565 investigations, 1018 of which have been completed. Thus far 197 persons have been prosecuted with a conviction rate of 84%.
As for public education, the initial publicity has been supplemented by annual poster campaigns, displays at trade exhibitions and a start has been made on input to the moral education of the young. A new approach in the effort to instil in the young, the knowledge of right and wrong and the value of ethics, was to introduce to them Botswana's first superhero, Rre Boammaruri (Mr Honesty). This character appears in person at public functions and at schools. He is also the subject of a poster campaign and a set of cartoon strips.
Our superhero takes the form of a cow, which is a highly respected animal among the citizens of the country, as it represents wealth and prosperity.
On the Corruption Prevention aspect, many seminars have been held for both private and public sector participants and a number of corruption prevention assignments have been completed with significant recommendations made to reduce opportunities for corruption.
The establishment of the DCEC has already had significant impact in Botswana with the majority of its citizens aware of the existence of the orgnisation and its role. Some completed prosecutions relate to extremely serious offences which might not have been detected had the measures described not been taken. The decision to take pro-active measures has been vindicated. One example is the very first Corruption Prevention assignment carried out by the Directorate which identified serious weaknesses in the management structure of a Public Company. Using this information, an investigation into complaints received was conducted and this resulted in the Chief Executive of the Public Company being prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned for offences under the Act.
The Government realises the need for continuing vigilance and the necessity to provide proper resources to the DCEC. Included in the National Development Plan 1999/2006 is provision for a new purpose built headquarters; a new office in Francistown to cover the northern part of the country; a comprehensive Information Technology system and housing for staff. Progress on these projects is well advanced and the new headquarters, with its IT system, will be ready early in the year 2000. A number of staff houses have been purchased and more will be built soon and the building of the northern office is planned to start early in 2001.
For its part Botswana hopes that corruption will remain a priority as an issue of major international importance and that ways of improving international communication, liaison and co-operation will remain high on the agenda.
From the office of Directorate

Is the Carson City Sheriff Covering up the Judge Tatro Shooting after admitting the alleged shooter confessed? We think hell YES.
UPDATE 09-28-2013 – I spoke with the Carson City Sheri Kenny Furlong about the name of the 19 old male who confessed to shooting Judge Tatro's house.
Sheriff Furlong at first said the name of the shooter was Jesse Richardson and then realized that the Jesse Richardson was the witness, not the shooter…
Furlong then said the 19 old male who confessed to shooting Judge Tatro's house was Levi Anthony Minor of the west side BB shooting fame …But that Levi Anthony Minor didn't really do it and he made the story up. The they issued a warrant for the witness Jesse Richardson (alleged probation violation) or is the warrant to get Jesse Richardson into custody to shut him up? We don't believe the Sheriff Furlong story and still this issue as a cover up.
Have you seen Jesse Russell Richardson?
Have you seen Jesse Russell Richardson? If so, the CCSO issued a warrant or his arrest. Please have Jesse Russell Richardson call KRNV Newsroom: 775-785-1210 and tell his side of the story.
We reported that a credible source presented credible information, a jailhouse confession concerning the shooter of Carson City Judge Tatro.
We reported that story here: The shooter of Judge Tatro's door found? Judge Tatro caught in sex triangle revenge scandal?
The Carson City Sheriff was informed of the information and conducted an investigation the first week of September 2013. The results of the Carson City Sheriff investigation confirmed that the information we provided was true, but that the target was a straw man judge because it was not Judge Tatro or any other Judge.
A person in the Carson City jail was bragging to others to be the shooter of Judge John Tatro's front door in December 2012. However, the Sheriff is saying that this person made up the story and really shot into another Carson City Judges home with a BB gun. However, it was not one of the four Carson City Judges and the Judge was not named.
This makes no sense and is the typical "straw man" cover up.
Who was the Judge? It was not Armstrong, Willis, Tatro, Wilson or Russell.
Was the person arrested and charged for the BB gun shooting? No – There is no Sheriff report or court records.
What was the motive?
The Sheriff confirmed the shooters mom did work at the Carson City Courthouse and this supports the belief that there was some kind of sexual affair going on and the 19 year old shooter was upset and shot at the Judges front door.
The official Sheriff explanation is not credible. We have reported this to the local news and FBI to get real answer.
We believe the story we presented here: The shooter of Judge Tatro's door found? Judge Tatro caught in sex triangle revenge scandal?

While Feds Waffle, Cities Lead The Way On Climate Change
For coastal cities across the nation, combating climate change is a local issue.
Located on the Atlantic Coast, Rhode Island is in vulnerable territory when it comes to rising sea levels, a side effect of climate change that coastal dwellers are keeping in mind. This was one reason the state's capital city recently voted to withdraw all of its investments in fossil fuel-related companies.
Seth Yurdin, the councilman responsible for proposing the measure, painted the picture as a local one, citing the risk Rhode Islanders face in regard to coastal erosion and rising sea levels.
"It's really a local issue on top of a big-picture issue," Yurdin told the Providence Journal.
While the issue of climate change is still controversial in some corners of the nation, the council passed the resolution by a vote of 11-1, welcoming a policy that will halt all investment in fossil fuel companies within the next 5 years. At that point, the Board of Investment commissioners will be directed to stop all investments in the coal, oil and and gas companies.
National trend
This grassroots-style movement takes place in the midst of a national debate over how to tackle climate change.
While President Barack Obama vowed in his most recent State of the Union address to make the issue a national priority, he has made little progress, and cities and communities are taking matters into their own hands.
Last week in Seattle, the city council voted in favor of a resolution that aims to make the city carbon neutral by 2050.
Seattle's move comes after 3 years of work on a blueprint intended to help the city to reach its short- and long-term goals — the Seattle Climate Action Plan.
"Although there had been years of mountain evidence, 2012 felt like a watershed moment for climate change awareness in the United States," Mike O'Brien, chair of the city council's Environmental Committee, wrote in the report. "The level of severity of climate disruption we saw across the country confirmed that now is the time to take bold action to reduce our climate pollution and to prepare for the impacts of climate change."
The Seattle Climate Action Plan targets everything from building energy to waste and transportation. With goals ranging from city-wide bicycle use to methane levels emitted from landfills, it clearly aims to dwindle the city's impact on climate change. The plan also, however, acknowledges the reality that Seattle, even with measures now in place, will have to deal with the impact.
Part of the preparation phase includes putting in place a method of dealing with impending coastal erosion. Other plans aim to keep climate change impacts in mind when drafting natural disaster response plans.
Seattle and Providence aren't the only cities to draft their own climate change-related policies. A report released by Driving Sustainable Economies profiled more than 100 cities throughout the nation that have implemented their own plans.
The report discovered another benefit to taking action, citing an economic boost to those who have taken a green approach.
"One out of every two actions that cities are making to reduce emissions in their municipal operations is focussed on efficiency," the report states. "Cities report over $40 million in saving per year from tackling climate change."

Leading Australian swimming coach Greg Hodge has been banned from having contact with the national swimming squad while stalking allegations against him are being investigated.
Australian Swimming's chief executive officer Glenn Tasker today said Mr Hodge would be restricted to operational duties in the short term until allegations against him were investigated.
"ASI has decided to restrict Greg Hodge to operational duties which require no contact with members of Australian swimming squads while this matter is being investigated," he said.
Hodge's wife was sticking by him today amid allegations he was obsessed with Emma Fuller, who he coached as a 12-year-old.
Sue Hodge described her husband as a "very good bloke" who deserved better.
Ms Fuller, 20, yesterday rocked the swimming world on the Nine Network's A Current Affair program, claiming Hodge was stalking her. She has applied for an apprehended violence order against the 55-year-old.
The case is due to be heard in Sydney's Sutherland Local Court next week.
Mr Hodge is Australia's highest ranking swimming coach responsible for the team in the lead-up to next year's Athens Olympics.
Ms Fuller said Mr Hodge had behaved inappropriately with her when she was a 12-year-old boarder in his home in the mid-1990s, and had recently followed her home from work on two occasions.
She alleged Mr Hodge kissed her often and touched her inappropriately.
But Mr Hodge denied the allegations.
"I'm not going to deny that I'd give her hugs and kisses but we were her carer for 14 months and any reasonable person in that situation would give your child, a 12-year-old girl, a cuddle and a kiss on the cheek," he said in a telephone interview.
He was backed by his wife, Sue, who said she had never seen her husband act inappropriately towards Ms Fuller.
"Absolutely not. Never. Ever," Mrs Hodge said.
"But I saw her do some inappropriate things.
"She was really irresponsible and she would often blame others for her mistakes or situations she created."
Mr Hodge said Ms Fuller had claimed people were stalking her when she was younger.
"One of the families she stayed with has written to Channel Nine and told Channel Nine even at the age of 12 and 13, she was always claiming people were following her," he said.
Mr Hodge said he had received calls of support from all around Australia, including some of Ms Fuller's swimming contemporaries, since the allegations were aired.

I've never written a music review before, but I thought I'd give it a shot. Fun. is an American indie pop band according to wikipedia. I say this because music genres always seem so odd to me. How is a band considered indie if they are signed with Fueled by Ramen? Is pop a genre or is it merely a statement that this band is popular?
I first heard about this band through their most popular song "We Are Young".
I heard the song first on the radio in passing somewhere. Then again maybe in a restaurant. Later on a tv commercial. I decided to look up the song after it was stuck in my head for two days straight. Searching with lines of the chorus, I found it easily. When the full album, Some Nights, was released this past Tuesday I decided to buy it using some left over iTunes credit from a gift card.
Some Nights bears a few gifts in the form of catchy, upbeat songs. "We Are Young" is the star of the show, but "Carry On" is another good one, with a more light-hearted feel.
I feel that this album is pretty good, but could have been better. Even though the lead clearly shows capable and powerful vocals, some songs implement copious amounts of auto-tuning. The guy's got talent. Why did they do this? To me, it just sounds bad. So I guess my final verdict and recommendation is to at least give the album a listen, see how many songs are to your liking. It may be worth the full purchase to you, but I won't guarantee it.

After one year release worldwide only with written permission of the student and the advisory committee chair.
The populations of aphidophagous insects in low-spray and conventional programs were surveyed in Virginia apple orchards. Two sampling methods were utilized;aphid colony collection and beating tray collection. The low-spray blocks employed the use of mating disruption for control of the key direct pests, codling moth, Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus), and leafrollers. The abundance and diversity of aphid predators in low-spray mating disruption programs and conventionally controlled apple orchards was compared. Both sampling methods suggested that aphid predators were more plentiful in the mating disruption blocks. Several mating disruption blocks were found to accumulate significantly more predator-days and diversity than the matched control blocks. The reduction of insecticide input into the low-spray blocks may have allowed higher populations of aphidophagous insects to occur. Aphid populations in mating disruption blocks sometimes declined faster and had less resurgence than those in the conventionally controlled blocks. The tufted apple bud moth (TABM), Platynota idaeusalis (Walker), populations in four apple orchards in Winchester, Virginia, were compared for resistance to azinphosmethyl. These orchards were suspected by the growers to have resistant populations of TABM. Pheromone traps with insecticide incorporated into the adhesive were used to collect and test the moths. The results were not analyzed due to the low number of moths collected and high variability in mortality.

Don't do anything unless you run into problems. Using a NIC that
properly supports hardware tagging is the proper solution, if you
can't do that reducing the MTU on all systems is an ugly workaround.

Rules are only applied inbound to an interface (inbound always from
the perspective of the firewall). If you allow everything on every
interface, everything is allowed. The default on WAN and OPT
interfaces is no rules, so everything is denied. If you add an allow
all rule, you're bypassing that.

By Styles Cradgerock, TEXAS – Hot on the heels of the crushing body blow delivered to the U.S. President, the American Barack Obama by his party's mid-term election upset, the question on everybody's chapped lips is, "Will she run?"

Former Reserve Bank chief and head of the Climate Change Authority,
The government's belief in climate change was not strong enough to spur it to take action that was appropriate to tackle the challenge, Mr Fraser added.
"In this age of assertion rather than reason, [and] the current alignment of business and government interests, the debate on climate change in Australia seems destined to be lopsided for some time to come," Mr Fraser said during a speech to the National Press Club in Canberra on Thursday.
"It seems clear to me that in the area of climate change policy, the government is backing in business interests and, indeed, big business interests ahead of community interests."
The authority is slated to be abolished by the Abbott government, but legislation is stuck in the Labor-Greens dominated Senate. In its most recent, and probably last report, the authority recommended the government's emissions reduction target be nearly quadrupled from 5 per cent of 2000 levels by 2020 to 19 per cent.
The recommendation was rejected by Environment Minister
Discouraging signs
Mr Fraser said the reaction from the government had not been encouraging, and he doubted the strength of its convictions.
"While the government professes to accept the science of climate change, the indications are that it is unlikely to back that acceptance with appropriate actions," Mr Fraser said.
He said the government had demonised carbon pricing. But the policy it proposes to replace it with, Direct Action, was a "lightening" of the policy toolkit and would be captive to changing budgetary conditions.
"Many aspects of the Direct Action plan, the emissions reduction fund being the core of it, remain to be clarified. But what has been made clear is the scale of that effort. The scale of what the emissions reduction fund can do is determined by short-term budgetary considerations, not by considerations related to climate science," he said.
Prominent economists
Mr Fraser declined to support their claims, arguing there was not yet enough detail about the scheme.

Depth chart changesPosted by on September 24, 2013 – 2:00 pm
In the wake of the loss of Alex Carrington there have been a couple of shifts on the Bills depth chart. Here's a look.
First, Alan Branch is now listed as the starting left defensive end, with Corbin Bryant as his backup. Truthfully I see Branch rotating in to spell Dareus and Kyle Williams more than playing the end position. As coach Marrone indicated Corbin Bryant figures to see the most work in what is now Carrington's vacant role.
On kick return Marcus Easley is now listed as the official backup to Marquise Goodwin, who is still recovering from a broken hand in Week 1. Easley hasn't had much of an opportunity to return with all the booming kickoffs the Bills have seen the first three games. In fact Easley has made more of an impact in kickoff coverage turning in big tackles each of the last two weeks.
Finally Jim Leonhard is now listed as the backup punt returner to Leodis McKelvin, a role in which he served last week after McKelvin left with a hamstring injury. Leonhard was a pretty accomplished punt returner in college.
Even if McKelvin is able to play this week, it's likely that Leonhard gets punt return work as the Bills will probably try not to overextend McKelvin with added special teams duties.

Depth chart moves slowedPosted by on August 5, 2011 – 8:30 am
In training camp the coaching staff will shift and move players up or down the depth chart based on performance. Usually they are made on the heels of a preseason game when coaches get an accurate look at what a player is or is not capable of. However, in an offseason where there is little for coaches to go on and more questions than answers with some players, Bills head coach Chan Gailey and his staff are more apt to wait a little longer this summer before making a depth chart move.
"The movement on the depth chart is slower now because you're taking more of a wait and see attitude before you start moving people up and down the depth chart," Gailey told Buffalobills.com. "That's due to mainly our lack of practice and preparation. The reason why is you don't know at the outset if a player's performance or consistency is due to a conditioning issue, they may not have the recall from last year, but they're going to get it. With all of that stuff (in play) you're just hesitant to move people up and down the depth chart too quickly right now."
That's why Gailey said going into camp that some returning veteran starters are more entrenched in their positions than perhaps in any other training camp. With so many added variables (conditioning, no spring workouts, less evaluation time) to the preparation process in this camp Gailey and his staff want as many sure fire answers as they can have in their starting lineups. So it's going to take a special performance for a 2nd teamer to move up to the first unit, and it seems as though it will take a big time collapse through the preseason for a starter to get bumped down a peg.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/11/2013 (1340 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Controversial Winnipeg businessman Ray Rybachuk died Sunday while out snowmobiling in the Rural Municipality of St. Andrews, the Free Press has learned.
Multiple sources confirmed Rybachuk's death, which is suspected to have been from a heart attack.
Rybachuk, 42, was out snowmobiling on a trail when it veered off the path into a reed-filled ditch, according to an RCMP account of the incident issued Sunday afternoon.
RCMP did not identify him.
Selkirk RCMP and emergency responders were called to the scene — they didn't specify the location — just after 10 a.m. for what they've now termed was a "snowmobile fatality."
They said a man they found there was responsive but his condition grew worse. They attempted CPR but their efforts to revive him failed.
He was wearing a helmet, RCMP said, adding their investigation continues.
Rybachuk's death comes just a few months after he was arrested, charged and briefly held in custody in connection with a series of incidents at Teaser's Burlesque Palace in St. Boniface that police estimate caused about $50,000 in damage.
A part owner of the building that houses Teasers and the Chalet Hotel, he faced mischief and uttering threats charges.
Between 1994 and 2002, Rybachuk was convicted of money-laundering, possessing proceeds of crime, drug trafficking and assault.
The Winnipeg police intelligence unit identified Rybachuk in 1999 as an associate of the former Los Brovos motorcycle gang, which later became the local chapter of the Hells Angels.
A friend of Rybachuk's said Sunday there's been a "lot of exaggerations" publicized about his criminal past.
After serving time in jail, Rybachuk operated a property management and home renovation business in the North End.
Rybachuk was later a partner in a group that purchased and renovated the Boyd Medical Centre and adjoining property on Portage Avenue downtown and subsequently became embroiled in a dispute with city hall when he erected a giant digital billboard without approval. He was eventually forced to remove the sign.
More recently, he became a partner with one-time Internet pharmacy pioneer Daren Jorgenson in the ownership and renovation of the Royal Albert Hotel.
Jorgenson previously stated he has foreclosed on Rybachuk's 50 per cent share on the Royal Albert and plans to sell the property.

DJ Hideo .:Mar 01 09:.
I used to listen to 92.3/100.3 The Beat (KKBT) while in college during the late 90s. DJ Hideo would always catch wreck during his mix show sets. I remember them for having such raw energy with all his dope trick mixing, music selection, and just straight up soul. No doubt one of the few who can truly "speak with his hands." Going clubbing in LA, I would often catch his live mixing at the DMK events where he would always kill it. I can't remember the exact details, but I think it was either DJ Roldan or DJ Goose from Proof Positive who introduced me to HIdeo and Tony Jr. once at a Cue's in Pasadena.
Earlier tonight I was on my homie Buddhabong's blog, and read some news that DJ Hideo is battling cancer that was very recently diagnosed. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his Family. I hope he will stay strong in both mind, body, and spirit so he can continue to bring that energy that I remember him for.
Check out Hideo's website and learn more about him...
SERVIN' CONVERSATION .:Jan 06 09:.
Come check out our Saturday night spot at Gordon Biersch (5010 Mission Center Rd, San Diego, CA 92108). I will be in the rotation this Saturday, the 24th.
This is a very chill spot, where you can come and listen to some dope beats, have a beer, and chop it up with your fam. Most folks come through here before they start partying Downtown or elsewhere. We play outside on the patio, but I must warn you: dancing is strictly prohibited!!! It is partly covered, so don't let the rain scare you away this weekend...
We have been doin' this gig in conjunction with Mel Kapone of 15West for over a year now.
Big Up to Jo_iLL for designing the vintage flier. That pic makes me want to have a nice cold Blonde Bock from GB, but I gave up drinking beer over a year ago. Love the taste, but can't stand what it does to my spare tire!
So I had to stick with my other favorite drinks instead:
Scotch Whiskey...mmmmmm....My Father-in-Law brought over this Johnnie for Xmas, so I had to introduce him to The Glenlivet. Personally I prefer The Macallan. The best was when I bought DJ Hektik some Johnnie Walker Black and he said it tasted like STEAK! Next time you see Pauze, ask him about the time he kept drinking Glenlivet at a Turntable Lounge gig...
Ketel One Vodka...on the rocks...yeah....so smooth...creeps up on ya. Even my dog drinks it.
I recently tried Effen and it was pretty good. Those Dutch folks, man...
Kona Coffee. Yeah I know, its not an alcoholic drink, but it is just as addicting, yo. I once stopped drinking coffee cold turkey, and it was harder than quitting cigarettes. Kona turned me into a coffee snob, though. Plus I got this French Press now. Sheesh. The beans on the Big Island are hand picked, so only the ripe ones are chosen. That way you wind up with coffee that is so freakin smooth. Other kinds of coffee beans are machine picked so you get all the unripe ones in the mix, making the coffee bitter. My Uncle recently brought me back some Cafe Amadeo from the Philippines. Haven't tried it yet, but I hear its the ish, too...
In the MMIX .:Jan 02 09:.
The Oh-Nina began with another lovely day in Southern Cali. I was coming home from the gym and just missed taking a flick of the beautiful sunset by a couple minutes. This is all I could get:
Didn't really do much for NYE other than visit my Godson for dinner. Pauze came by the pad to borrow my Serato and brought his two dogs, Tank (the Corgi) and Burger (the ???). The highlight of this evening was when my dog started to chase Tank. Usually he sprints faster than both Usain and the Disney animated Bolt, but for some reason he couldn't catch him (or chose not to!):
Chaser from HGB on Vimeo.
My wife has a cleaning OCD so after Pauze and the fellas cut out, we spent the rest of the night making sure the house was spic and span for the New Year. By 11:30pm we were already in bed drifting in and out of sleep. Alls I rememeber was waking up about 12:03am to the sound of Firecrackers (or maybe Glocks!), giving her a New Years kiss, and then crashing out for the night.
Like I stated before, '08 was a very good year for me. I hope 2009 will prove to be a better one!
It should be the year of the DJ...
Sittin' On Chrome .:Dec 18 08:.
There are several things I often see on the road these days that I wish I would STOP seeing.
Here's a few of 'em:
Chrome Rims. I think these things jumped the shark when GM or Ford started running that promo where you'd get free 22" chrome wheels with purchase of a Yukon.
Advertisements on center divide traffic signs. Its bad enough that we have to look at pop up ads while watching our favorite TV shows. Now we are forced to look at them when making a left:
Young kids driving luxury vehicles. OK, I'm just hatin' cuz I was pushin' an '88 Camry whip on hubcaps throughout my college days...
Those Naughty Angel/Devil stickers. Dude, these infamous silhouettes are seen on the most unlikely of cars. I often see them on minivans of families with several small children. Its like the Dad driving wishes he could attend a Pimp n Ho event but since he has several small children, this is the closest he will get:
Vanity License Plates giving the car props. You know like, "1BADBMW" or "UL2MTMB" on a bone stock entry level german car.
There should be a law, that your car must look like the ones below or better, before your ride gets big upped by the license plate:
Read These Nikes! .:Dec 14 08:.
Soul Travelin' .:Dec 12 08:.
Its been about a year since I wrote my last blog. My Pops had just passed away and my Grandma (Mom's side) was in the middle of battling stomach cancer. God finally called her home this past Summer. This Fall, right before our 2nd Anniversary, my wife and I found out we are pregnant. The projected due date was originally on my Grandma's birthday, just a few days after my Dad's! As some cultures say, when one family member leaves this world, another one enters. BTW, my cousin (Mom's side) and her husband are expecting their son a month after ours.
My Dad's prolonged illness and subsequent passing have taught me invaluable lessons that continue to sustain me. I must say, this has been a pretty dang good year for me. There were mad challenges throughout, but somehow someway my Faith got me through.
For this blog, I wanted to highlight some of the positive experiences I had in '08, namely the trips I was able to go on.
My wife and I kicked off Spring with a trip to Europe. I had been to Germany, Austria, and Italy before but this was her first time out of the U.S. We flew into London, took a train to Paris, flew over to Venice, took another train to Florence, and finished the trip in Rome.
The first day in London was unforgettable-it was straight snowing! It was the beginning of April and the flowers should have already been blooming, from what people were saying. The weather was VERY cold, for us at least. We saw folks making snowmen as we took the train from Gatwick to city. Before we left the airport, the customs official was sweating us big time, asking us for the reason why we came to London. He even started to quiz us on our top 3 sites to see and asked how many Towers there are in London!
"Please look after this Bear." Paddington Station:
10 Downing Street:
My wife's cousin and his wife surprised us by taking us to enjoy Tea at the Ritz Carlton:
photos were not allowed inside =(
The apartment where we stayed in Paris had no elevator, so we had to take four flights of stairs each day. I would almost always munch on this one awkward step near the bottom:
Davinci code status. This was one of the few days in Paris that the sun shone upon the city:
Winged Victory:
Winged Bulls:
Centre Georges Pompidou -Inspiration for Tinker Hatfield's Air Max 1
For da ladies:
Macarons and French Toast from LaDuree With all the calories we were consuming I thought I was gaining weight. All the walking we did during our trip, however, must have burned all those calories cuz i actually lost 5-6 pounds in those two weeks!
French Graf:
Huge paintings inside the Orsay Museum:
inside Notre Dame:
The Pantheon. Pops was an architect for several years, so he would always teach me to have appreciation for amazing buildings like this:
Spaced Invader
R.I.P. Diana:
On our way to the Eiffel Tower, I got hit up by some hustler who "found" a gold ring on this bridge as he walked towards us. He insisted that I keep the ring after forcing it into my hands, but then asked for some change for coffee. After I told him nah, he got pissed and snatched back the ring. My wife then got pissed at me for falling for it. Apparently there are warnings about dude in the trip advisor forums and Rick Steve's books...
Dusk, near our room in Venice:
There were so many throw-ups in Venice:
This room in Florence was the dopest one we stayed in the entire trip. Although the city was small, it had beauty and charm that made us regret booking only one night here.
Inside the Vatican:
The Colosseum:
Summer started with a homie trip to Portland, OR. We needed to get away from the craziness of Killa Cali for a minute, so we chose The City of Roses
The Japanese Garden:
DO NOT, I Repeat, DO NOT miss this awesome pizza joint if you are ever in Portland. Anthony Bourdain was jockin' this place on No Reservations. I am so glad we were able to find out why. Man i am freakin salivating just thinking about their pizza:
Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock. Y'all remember the Goonies, right?
For our Second Anniversary, my wife and I took another trip to Maui. She was experiencing really bad morning sickness, but still managed to have a great time:
On the Road to Hana, we saw a house with a few peacocks kickin on the front lawn. On the way back from Hana, one of the locals speeding down the hill freakin smashed a wayward peacock who must have been right around a corner. The owner of the truck was shooing another one back to the house. I swear that other peacock looked hella traumatized about his homie becoming roadkill!

The ever changing Mitt Romney now claims that he wants more teachers, but previously the Republican Presidential candidate has stated otherwise. I know that comes as a shock. Teachers have been demonized by Republicans since the President was sworn in. Romney has been pandering to the far right, who believe that teachers flaunt their vast wealth in our faces, but of course, nothing could be further from the truth.
For every gaffe, misspeak and hypocritical statement, another ad will come out. Today is no different from others. Obama for America created this ad to hit Romney for his betrayal of those in the teaching profession.

Shirtless Adam Sabbagh Shows Off Abs, Works Out
Hot damn boy, look at that body! Former Mr. Arab, Adam Sabbagh, decided to make the most of the Los Angels heat wave by hitting the beach to do a little working out. Well, not so much working out as lounging around without a shirt on for paparazzi to take photographs of him.
The Lebanese born actor, model and humanitarian recently wrapped up work on his first feature film, Mansion of Blood, which co-stars Gary Busey. I really hope this film is realeased in theatres because it sounds super bizarre.
PHOTOS & VIDEO: Henry Cavill Shows Off His Rock Hard Bod in Immortals
Lounging on the beach like that Adam almost looks like he could be part of the cast of Magic Mike. You know how those actors like to just hang around wearing as little as possible. Oh wait, that's how I like them to be hanging around.
Launch the gallery to appreciate Adam's fantastic body. Mmm, pretty body. Like, just the right amount of muscle to tallness ratio. Loving Adam's hot bod? Leave us your thoughts in the comments!

2014-11-21 - The MACH control and protection system is continually developed using the latest technology. A look at this system, following recognition of one of its architects with the prestigious Polhem Prize.
The MACH solution is designed specifically for converters in power applications, and is under continuous development using the very best and latest technology. It is the world's most commonly used control system for HVDC and FACTS (flexible alternating current transmission systems) installations, with more than 1,100 systems in operation around the world.
The story behind the development of the MACH control system is about the pioneering spirit of innovation and teamwork. And Hans Björklund, who has been one of the architects in the development of MACH control systems for more than 40 years was recently awarded the prestigious Polhem Prize by the Swedish Association of Graduate Engineers in recognition of his contribution.
The internationally recognized Polhem medal is Sweden's oldest technology award, given to recipients who produce a high-level technical innovation, or an ingenious solution to a technical problem. The innovation must in addition be competitive, available on the open market, and environmentally friendly. First awarded in 1878, the Polhem medal has often been referred to as the Nobel Prize for engineers.
Smart and efficient energy systems
Björklund won the prize for his significant contributions to the development of smart and efficient energy systems, which are essential components of sustainable development. A powerful, flexible and reliable control and protection system is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of HVDC transmission systems.
In fact, the control system is the backbone of HVDC controllability, which is a major reason for choosing direct current (DC) over alternating current (AC) transmission in the first place. The MACH control system provides unequalled calculation capacity, enabling a high degree of integration and handling in all control and protection functions. Moreover, the system provides advanced fault registration and remote control functions. MACH control is a key component in developing smarter electricity networks, which are vital to the goal of integrating more renewable energy sources into existing grids.
The MACH system is designed to operate 24/7 for 30 years or more, providing reliable control and protection throughout the lifetime of an HVDC installation. To fulfill current and future control requirements, Björklund and his team developed a fully computerized system using state-of-the-art computers, micro-controllers and digital signal processors connected by high-performance industrial standard buses and fiber optic communication links. Extensive use of computers and micro-controllers have made it possible to include very powerful internal supervision, which eliminates periodic maintenance of the control equipment.
Reliability and longevity
To achieve high reliability and longevity, quality is built into every detail of the system from the beginning of the engineering phase. And the ability to upgrade is another MACH advantage. This means even older HVDC systems can enjoy the benefits of great controllability. Moreover, a new control system minimizes the number of control components, eliminating thousands of aging individual parts with the potential to fail. In addition to prolonging the lifetime of an existing transmission link, HVDC control upgrades can be completed rapidly, and with minimal transmission disruptions.
ABB has built up significant experience upgrading HVDC links around the world, as many original installations are aging. Since 1990, ABB has been awarded 22 major HVDC modernization projects, 16 of which are control and protection system upgrades.

An epistemic community as influencer and implementer in local government accounting in Australia
Irvine, Helen J., Cooper, Kathie, & Moerman, Lee (2011) An epistemic community as influencer and implementer in local government accounting in Australia. Financial Accountability and Management, 27(3), pp. 249-271.
|Accepted Version (PDF 831kB)
This paper adopts an epistemic community framework to explicate the dual role of epistemic communities as influencers of accounting policy within regulatory space and as implementers who effect change within the domain of accounting.
The context is the adoption and implementation of fair value accounting within local government in New South Wales (NSW). The roles and functions of Australian local government are extensive, and include the development and maintenance of infrastructure, provision of recreational facilities, certain health and community services, buildings, cultural facilities, and in some cases, water and sewerage (Australian Local Government Association, 2009).
The NSW state Department of Local Government (DLG) is responsible for legislation and policy development to ensure that local councils are able to deliver 'quality services to their communities in a sustainable manner' (DLG, 2008c). These local councils receive revenue from various sources including property rates, government grants and user-pays service provision.
In July 2006 the DLG issued Circular 06-453 to councils (DLG, 2006c), mandating the staged adoption of fair value measurement of infrastructure assets. This directive followed the policy of NSW State Treasury (NSW Treasury, 2007),4 and an independent inquiry into the financial sustainability of local councils (LGSA, 2006). It was an attempt to resolve the inconsistency in public sector asset valuation in NSW Local Governments, and to provide greater usefulness and comparability of financial statements.5 The focus of this study is the mobilization of accounting change by the DLG within this wider political context. When a regulatory problem arises, those with political power seek advice from professionals with relevant skill and expertise (Potter, 2005). This paper explores the way in which professionals diffuse accounting 'problems' and the associated accounting solutions 'across time and space' (Potter, 2005, p. 277). The DLG's fair value accounting policy emanated from a 'regulatory space' (Hancher and Moran, 1989)6 as a result of negotiations between many parties, including accounting and finance professionals. Operating within the local government sector, these professionals were identified by the DLG as being capable of providing helpful input. They were also responsible for the implementation of the new olicy within local councils. Accordingly they have been dentified as an pistemic community with the ability to ranslate regulatory power by changing he domain of ccounting (Potter, 2005, p. 278).7
The paper is organised as follows. The background to the LG's decision to require the introduction of fair value accounting for infrastructure assets is explored. Following this, the method of the study is described, and the epistemic community framework outlined. In the next sections, evidence of the influencing and implementing roles of epistemic groups is provided. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the significance of these groups both within regulatory space in developing accounting regulation, and in embedding change within the domain of accounting.

Remakes, hacks, fan works, whatever you want to call these types of reworks of games, they are sometimes quite cool. Take New Super Mario Bros Origins on the Nintendo 3DS which is based on the Nintendo DS title, New Super Mario Bros. Origins takes all of the levels from the original SMB game and then adds in the "Lost Levels" for even more coolness and puts them in one big game.
This is not a 100% accurate remake, the gameplay elements that New Super Mario Bros brought to the table are still in play here. Stuff like wall jumping like you did in the NES Batman game, Ninja Gaiden and others, and picking up turtle shells among other new(er) elements are still available. The wall jumping adds a new element of challenge when falling into a pit, close enough to the side and you may be able to save yourself.
This is a hack of a commercial game so we can only link to the hack itself.
