Voters in Rochdale will go to the polls on Thursday to decide who they want to represent them.
Thirteen seats on Rochdale council will be up for grabs in the vote. Those chosen by you face making tough decisions over the next four years, including plans to cut the borough's budget by another £80m.
To help you choose how to vote, the Observer has asked each candidate to canvass for your vote.
You can also keep in touch with what happens at Thursday's count live at www.rochdaleobserver.co.uk where our reporters will be providing live coverage from the count, including who wins in each ward and how it will affect the balance of power at the Town Hall.
Phillip Bethell (Labour): A retired bank official, he believes that the election gives local residents a chance to pass judgement on the policies of the Liberal Democrats in government.
Paul Rowen (Lib Dem): It's been a real pleasure to meet and talk to many local residents over the last few weeks around Balderstone, Thornham, Queensway and Kirkholt. Many of you have said how sorry you were that I wasn't re-elected as our town's MP. I am Rochdale born and bred and I live in the ward on Queensway.
Phillip Grantham (Con): I am committed to working towards a better and thriving local community in Balderstone and Kirkholt. That means a cleaner and safer town, roads fit to drive on and pavements fit to walk on. I am not asking you to vote for a central government party or because you agree or disagree with the current financial climate. No one can change that. I am only interested in what I have to offer our local community and Rochdale.
* Also standing - Peter Greenwood (National Front)
William Hobhouse (Lib Dem): I am standing again for Bamford ward because I am passionate about standing up for local democracy and giving a voice to our communities. I am treasurer of the Friends of Sudden Library and set up the Bamford and Oakenrod Area Forum while as finance chief in 2007, I delivered the lowest council tax increase for a decade. At the moment I am campaigning for the reinstatement of the 461 bus service between Bamford and Heywood.
Pat Sullivan (Con): Pat Sullivan is married to Gerry and they have a grown-up son and a married daughter. She teaches English at Hopwood Hall College. She is also an examiner for Cambridge University, and national chairman of her professional body. Pat holds both a degree and a Masters in English as a Second Language. She is also chairman of the newly-formed Green Belt Action Group, which is campaigning to stop Rochdale council from creating a cemetery on green belt land near Bamford.
* Also standing - James Brown (Labour)
Jean Hornby (Labour): We seem to always fall in between two stools in Castleton – being in Rochdale Township but Heywood and Middleton constituency. I served as a councillor on Rochdale for nine years, during which time I was a portfolio holder, chair of an overview and scrutiny committee, older people's champion and Mayor of the Borough.
Anthony Smith (Lib Dem): I live in Castleton on Fairway with my wife Linda and children. I was brought up in the area and am currently a parent governor at St Gabriel's Primary School. I am standing for election as I want to be able to make a positive contribution to our area and improve the lives of residents.
Ronald Crossley (Con): I have lived in Castleton for 37 years and am fully aware of the problems encountered by you the residents of this ward. I am a family man and have been married for 29 years, supporting all family members with the help of my wife. I travelled the world before settling down in Castleton. I worked for many years for Turner Brothers.
* Also standing - Coun James Flynn (Independent Alliance)
Farooq Ahmed (Lab): Farooq Ahmed, is the current portfolio holder for finance at Rochdale council. He took control of the council's purse strings after the Liberal-led coalition at town hall collapsed.
Ghafar Khan (Lib Dem): I am proud to say that I have lived in Central Rochdale my whole life. I am now a solicitor. Over the last few weeks it has been a pleasure talking to so many of you on the doorstep. Standing for the Liberal Democrats at this May's local elections is a great honour for me.
Roger Howarth (Con): Living in the ward I am well aware of the issues of concern. My priorities will be to see our town centre as a thriving place to shop and to work again. It is sad to see our town still neglected. We need urgent action.
* Also standing – Alaz Ahmed (Respect)
Jason Beckett (Lab): Jason is employed by Unite the Union as a senior learning organiser for the north west and has considerable experience of representing hardworking people. Jason has a five-year-old son and is a governor at his school Healey Primary.
Donald Wright (Lib Dem): I have lived on Brookdale in Lower Healey for the last 13 years, having been in the Rochdale area since 1975. I believe in Rochdale. I believe in a better future for everyone. I believe that the town centre regeneration will be a catalyst for a new wave of growth and prosperity.
Andrew Neilson (Con): Since being elected last year, I have worked hard, and have a record of achievement for residents. Many local people who normally vote Lib Dem have promised to vote for me this time.
* Also standing – Ian Andrews (Green)
Karen Burke (Labour): A mother of two, 27-year-old Karen Burke says she is standing to help build a strong community and tackle years of neglect from the Liberal Democrats.
Sharon Taylor (Lib Dem): I am a local resident who has decided to stand and represent the people of Kingsway. Living in the area for all my life has made me familiar with the issues we face. I have a good understanding of problems within Kingsway.
Mudassar Razzaq (Con): I have spent a lot of time speaking to local residents, and learning of the things which matter to them. As a local man, these matters concern me. There is a lot that needs doing in our ward, and like many local people, I think our area has been neglected by the Labour and Liberal Democrat parties.
* Also standing – Coun Naim Mahmud (Independent Alliance); Mohammed Miah (Respect)
John Hartley (Lab): Mr Hartley, who has lived in the ward for 41 years, is campaigning on the issues that matter to the people of Littleborough. A member of GMB, one of the country's largest trades unions, my employment background lies in Rochdale's textiles industry, working at the Fothergill and Harvey Mill for 22 years and I am proud of the community's industrial heritage.
Ann Stott (Con): I have lived in the Pennines area for over 36 years and am no stranger to local politics, having being married to the late Honorary Alderman Rodney Stott MBE. I hold the view that community comes before politics and will therefore, if elected, be concentrating on issues that directly affect the people of Littleborough.
Rosemary Jones (Lib Dem): It has been my privilege to have been one of your councillors for the last 13 years. During that time there have been many improvements in our area. Many of our roads have been resurfaced or repaired such as Barnes Meadows, Shore Road, part of Todmordon Road, Brown Lodge Street etc.
Mohammed Zaman (Lab): Mohammed Zaman has been active in the community for the past 35 years and has held positions at Deeplish, Sudden and Spotland community centres.
Assim Rashid (Lib Dem): I am very much a family man and I live with my wife and three children. In 2007 I was delighted to receive an award for the best retailer of the year.
Altaf Nadeem (Con): I have lived in the local area for more than 11 years. As well as being a successful businessman, I play an active part in the community and I am a family man; married with three children. I am hard working and have many years of experience and have lots of skills which I would like to put to good use by working hard for the Milkstone and Deeplish area.
* Also standing – Javed Iqbal (Respect)
Martin Rodgers (Lab): Martin lobbied council leader Coun Colin Lambert to save Milnrow library. In Labour's budget it was announced that all libraries in the borough were to be saved despite savage government cuts to Rochdale council's budget. Since the Labour Party took control of Rochdale council before Christmas, they've done a great job at retaining services despite having to make cuts. I'm also delighted that they chose to freeze council tax.
Keith Swift (Lib Dem): Following a successful Mayoral year, raising £17,400, to support our excellent local young musicians, I am keen to continue working hard for Milnrow and Newhey. I am well known in both Milnrow and Newhey, a member of several local clubs and societies, and always approachable. I have always put Milnrow and Newhey first in every decision I've taken and promise to carry on fighting for our area if re-elected this May.
Keith Taylor (Con): Being born and bred in the area, I believe that there are many things we can do to make our town, and Milnrow and Newhey better. It seems that our area has been overlooked for other parts of the borough in the past. This needs addressing urgently. The traffic problems and congestion through our village are unacceptable. Currently the lack of public transport, due to work being carried out on the new tram network, is adding to the misery – and to no benefit to the people of Milnrow and Newhey.
* Also standing – Peter Oldham (Independant Alliance)
Nick Thornsbury (Lib Dem): As a Liberal Democrat, I am proud of what my party has achieved in Norden, in Rochdale and also in government. In Norden, my hard-working colleague Coun Wera Hobhouse is a fantastic ward councillor who has achieved an enormous amount to improve Norden over the past few years. When the Liberal Democrats were running the council, they did a lot of good things, particularly on the devolution agenda, giving power and money back to communities so that people, not bureaucrats, decide what local groups and projects to support.
Ann Metcalfe (Con): As a lifelong resident of Norden I am both proud and delighted to have been selected once again to stand as your Conservative candidate. I am known to most residents of my ward and, thankfully, many respect and value the achievements and hard work which I have put into being a councillor since 2004. One of the highest compliments I have received in this role comes from the Leader of the council's Conservative Group, Coun Ashley Dearnley, who said: "She has been diligent in dealing with local issues which are important to residents."
* Also standing – Christopher Furlong (Lab)
Aftab Hussain (Labour): Like many other parents in the area, I was appalled when the Liberal Democrats betrayed my children's generation by trebling tuition fees and scrapping EMA. Unlike Nick Clegg's party, Labour have always delivered for children and young people. The last Labour government set up SureStart to ensure that all children have the best possible start in life.
Ghulam Rasool (Lib Dem): I have lived in the Smallbridge and Firgrove ward all of my life and I couldn't be prouder. It's a great honour to have been chosen to stand for the Liberal Democrats. I know just how much work Coun Jean Ashworth has done for our area, especially regarding the hospital, and it would be a true pleasure to work alongside her as a fellow councillor.
Leonard Branton (Con): Having lived in the ward for many years I share the concerns of many of you. The congestion on Halifax Road continues to be of real concern, made worse with the over development of our area. If elected, I will work hard to deal with these and other important issues, especially tackling fly-tipping, litter and cleanliness of the area. These should be the council's top priorities. They are certainly mine.
Cecile Biant (Labour): Cecile Biant, a retired school teacher, is seeking election for Labour in Spotland and Falinge ward in the May 2011 elections. Cecile, who lives in the ward, has been active in the local community for many years. She is a member of the Ding Quarry Action Group, the secretary of Rochdale Friends of East Africa and the treasurer of Spotland's Women's Association.
Mohammed Sajid (Lib Dem): I live on Lisbon Street with my wife and family. I have three children who are all educated locally. I have worked alongside former Rochdale MP Paul Rowen in the campaign for a full asbestos test on the former Turner Brothers site. I know that Spotland and Falinge has a huge and diverse community and I think this is something we should be proud of.
Sajad Ali (Con): The ward is important to me and very close to my heart, having lived there for 26 years and having attended school there. As a local, I understand the social problems and general needs of the community. I have developed good relationships within the community which is crucial when standing for election and I am looking forward to building on this further in the future.
Carl Faulkner (Independent): I will not claim any allowances if elected. A councillor is a voluntary position and not a job, so why should the tax payer fund someone's interest in local issues. I led a successful challenge to stop the council building a school on Lenny Barn playing fields. I believe party politics should be left to those elected to Parliament. Local issues should be left to local people whose passion is their town and not their favoured political party.
* Also standing – Richard Todd (Independent Alliance)
David Finlay (Lab): For people in Wardle and West Littleborough the choice is very simple. They can support Labour, who have frozen council tax, or one of the coalition parties, who increased council tax. They can support Labour, who have invested in pothole repairs, or one of the coalition parties, who oversaw a pothole crisis in Rochdale. It's time for people in Wardle to show the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats that they're tired of being taken for granted.
Reg Lane (Lib Dem): I am a strong campaigner for equal rights for the disabled and believe passionately that disabled people should have an active voice in public affairs. My biggest concern is the current state of healthcare in Rochdale. The last Labour Government has let the people of Rochdale down badly with the closure of Birch Hill Hospital and now Rochdale Infirmary has had its A&E and Maternity Unit axed.
Janet Darnborough (Con): I have been a resident of the ward for over 25 years and a councillor for four years. I know the community and the area well and am aware of the issues. Like all of you, I am proud to live in the ward and I want to enjoy the area. If re-elected I will continue to strive to improve the standard of our roads, address problems with parking, unlawful fly tipping, dog fouling and litter. We deserve to have our taxes spent on things that are important to us.

Amy Winehouse Wasn't Adopting a Child, You Don't Say?
Over the weekend, it was rumored that Amy Winehouse was in the final stages of adopting a 10-year-old girl from St. Lucia (above) which people actually took seriously even though, at the most smallest, practically non-existent levels, there's no way any form of government would've signed off on this. In fact, because I'm an optimist, I like to believe there'd first be talk of just shooting the kid and saving everyone the rush of finding her facedown in a bathtub full of heroin. But, happy ending, Amy's rep is denying the entire story which is more than likely a shakedown of her estate. TMZ reports:
The Sunday Mirror reported Dannika Augustine and her grandmother both confirmed that Amy was about to begin the adoption process … and both of Dannika's parents had signed off on the plan.
But Amy's rep tells TMZ … "It's not true" … adding, "I think [Amy] might have met her in St. Lucia, but she was in no way about to adopt her."
For the record, Amy spent most of the past few years in St. Lucia boosting their drug economy and peeing standing up, so I completely believe she told this little girl she was going to adopt her. However, I also believe she told her other things like that time she ate a cat, why Pete Doherty is a figment of her imagination so powerful other people can see him and how she's going to live forever like Keith Richards. So, of those four things, at least two had to be a lie. It's your basic junkie math.

ITU will host a workshop to address international public policy issues on the migration to IPv6, as well as the economic aspects related to IP address allocation 4-5 September in Geneva.
With the massive deployment of Internet-related resources worldwide and the integration of IP-enabled consumer devices connected directly to the network, the issue of the depletion of IPv4 addresses is becoming pertinent. Indeed, there is wide recognition of the need for better awareness of the availability of IPv4 addresses and the deployment of IPv6.
Despite the use of network address translation (NAT) as a strategy for reducing the use of public IPv4 addresses, several experts forecast depletion in the next few years. In addition to other features, IPv6 with its 128 bit address space is aimed at addressing the current shortage of public IPv4 addresses. However the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 is going at a rather slow rate, with both versions being used in parallel. Many informed observers attribute this to market forces and other economic considerations.
There is growing interest in IPv6 especially among the organizations involved in its management. ITU is organizing this workshop in order to foster dialogue and international cooperation on IPv6 related issues.
The workshop will provide a platform for dialogue where key players in the field, including all ITU sectors, as well as other interested entities will be able to discuss and address international public policy issues on the migration to IPv6, as well as the economic aspects related to IP address allocation.
The workshop is designed to stimulate discussion and interaction with the audience, rather than offer a string of presentations and speeches provided by panelists and speakers.

The time has passed to ask whether or not Brad Keselowski is legitimate. That answer is overwhelmingly, yes.
Now it's time to ask another question: Is he going to be one of the likely handful of drivers with a mathematical chance at a championship at Homestead?
As of now, the answer to that is in the yes column, too. Keselowski's third-place finish in Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400 cut his deficit to points leader Carl Edwards down to 11 points, and he's fourth in the standings, ahead of drivers like Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart.
"Another solid day for us thus far," Keselowski said. "Makes you kick yourself that last week at Dover we had troubles we did because we've had top-5 cars each and every week, we're executing very well as a group and as a team. Just the things that we can control we're doing very well."
That trouble at Dover was when the team had a problem with the power steering, leading to a 20th-place finish. But before that, Keselowski was fifth at Chicago and second at Loudon.
"You know, last year we weren't a good team," Keselowski said. "We were always our worst at the end, and that's not what it takes. And I don't know why that was, but that's just the way it kind of works out sometimes. This year it seems like as a group we're just clicking. It really hurts after last week because I felt like this is the only week we've had that was a bad finish, and something happened that was outside of their control."
Clicking enough to continue to stay at the top of the standings? Right now, they're as good a bet as any.

Students signing up for Robin DeLugan's Anthropology 1: Introduction to Socio-cultural Anthropology probably weren't expecting to spend part of their class at the local mall.
But through the class' service-learning project, that's exactly what happened.
From the feedback I read, a lot of students got a lot out of it, said sophomore Martin MacLeod, 19, from the Bay Area. He's a business management major, but said his experience with the class and the project was so positive, he's taking DeLugan's upper-division course next year, and even decided to make anthropology his minor.
Service learning is not simply doing community service – it comes with a structured curriculum and specific objectives related to the class through which it is offered.
The Engineering Service Learning program has teams of engineering students working to solve issues for a variety of community groups, such as preparing databases for some, organizing and improving Web sites for others, and even finding an inexpensive and less-damaging lighting source for a small, underfunded mineral and gem museum.
But the 42 students in DeLugan's class aren't in the engineering program, so their project was different. Most worked on the Helping Hands Fair at the Merced Mall, an annual event that brings together social service and community organizations to educate people about resources and increase volunteerism.
DeLugan said her students assisted before, during and after the event, trying to help organizers find the most effective ways to present information about community resources. They interviewed participants and attendees, helped set up, manned booths, observed and compiled research data that fair organizers can use to make next year's fair even better.
MacLeod oversaw a lot of the work, and learned that in projects like this, everyone needs to be very observant and organized.
DeLugan said service-learning projects are something all professors can do, but it takes planning and work.
The projects are good for everyone involved. It's one way to forge stronger community-university partnerships and educate students not just about their class, but about the community.
A lot of students got a different perspective of Merced, MacLeod said. They saw that there is a lot going on, but you have to go out and get involved.

Austerity does not lead to growth, says UN trade body
John Hedges
Austerity Treaty Referendum, May 2012: Sinn Féin deputy leader Mary Lou McDonald highlights the different attitudes to austerity between Sinn Féin and Fine Gael/Fianna Fáil/Labour
The UN body says that reducing widening gaps in wealth and income will not only have social benefits but will also lead to higher economic growth.
Austerity isn't working and that's not just the opinion of Sinn Féin but also the view of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
In its just-published annual report for 2012, UNCTAD says:
"As predicted by UNCTAD economists, fiscal austerity and wage compression are further weakening growth in developed countries without achieving the expected results of reduced fiscal deficits, job creation, and renewed confidence of financial markets."
The Trade and Development Report 2012 (subtitled Policies for inclusive and balanced growth) focuses especially on income inequality and says that reducing widening gaps in wealth and income will not only have social benefits but will also lead to higher economic growth.
The report notes that many developing countries are supporting domestic demand and growth with counter-cyclical economic policies. But it contends that they cannot avoid a slowdown and are vulnerable to a continuing deterioration in advanced economies.
Warnings have been issued by UNCTAD over the past two years that a number of developed countries are shifting too soon from economic stimulus measures to government budget cuts.
The result, according to the report, is that without sufficient state spending to inject some life into domestic markets, the already weak demand for goods and services has stagnated or weakened still further.
Rather than raising business and financial-market confidence, UNCTAD states, the approach has left many firms pessimistic about the future and unwilling to invest in new production or hire new workers.

A Labour inquiry set up by Gordon Brown into why the party took £600,000 from the businessman David Abrahams through third party agents has been unable to interview any witnesses and has confined itself to looking at minutes of meetings and other paperwork.
The inquiry, conducted by former party general secretary Lord Whitty and Lord Harries, the former bishop of Oxford, is expected to come up with an interim report suggesting procedural reforms, including the need for the party to do more to separate the two processes of fundraising and compliance with the law.
The Whitty inquiry has been hampered by the separate Metropolitan police investigation into whether the criminal law has been broken. The police inquiry means Whitty has been prevented from interviewing witnesses.
The Whitty inquiry is expected to report before Labour appoints a new general secretary in March. National executive officials are due to draw up a shortlist for the post today. Mike Giffiths, an official from the union Amicus, is the early frontrunner for the post vacated by Peter Watt, who quit over the Abrahams affair, admitting he knew that the north-east businessman used four colleagues as a front for his donations.
Griffiths would help re-establish the general secretary as a key figure in the party hierarchy but he may be challenged by a candidate favoured by Downing Street. A firm of headhunters has been advising the party on widening the trawl of candidates.
Another potential candidate is David Pitt-Watson, a former assistant party general secretary and currently an adviser on shareholder activism in the City.
Harriet Harman, the deputy leader and party chairwoman, has instituted a review of the roles of all senior Labour officials amid claims that the current structure, including two party chairmen and two senior policy chairs, is confusing. The role of appointed party chairman was introduced by Tony Blair, and some have called for the post to be abandoned.

TWO friends took on the Silverstone Half Marathon to raise hundreds of pounds for Cancer Research UK.
Seasoned fundraiser Sue Cosnett and friend Sara Coleman, who is expecting a baby in August, completed the challenge on March 2 after months of preparation.
Ms Cosnett often takes part in such events but ran and walked the event with Mrs Coleman, who signed up before she knew she was pregnant.
"It went fab, it was really good," said Ms Cosnett. "Even Sara enjoyed it. She made it all the way round as well. She found it OK, we walked and ran in together. I didn't want to leave her behind.
"I was so proud of her and I raised about £600."
And the running doesn't end there for Ms Cosnett who has entered in the London Marathon in April.
"I will be doing that on my own," said the Pershore resident. "I am looking forward to that. I will be raising money for the British Heart Foundation in memory of my uncle Gerald Cosnett, who died of a heart attack last year."
To support Ms Cosnett visit uk.virginmoneygiving.com and search for Sue Cosnett.

I was totally baffled by what AOL had to offer, given that their whole reason for existing (as an ISP depending entirely on telco infrastructure) was rapidly going extinct. The reason I think that OTA and MVPD delivery is still important is that content owners are still uncomfortable with the Internet delivery model. When they wrap their heads around this alternative delivery, that's when the exiting distributors will be in trouble.

Gaza in crisis following Rafah, tunnel closures
Gaza in crisis following Rafah, tunnel closures: police called in to transport the public
by Julie
September 18, 2013
The Gaza Strip is facing a humanitarian crisis, with such a critical shortage of gasoline that police have been ordered to transport students and workers to schools, universities and workplaces, the Ministry of the Interior has reported.
Police authorities took the drastic measure on Tuesday to alleviate the crisis that has arisen in the fuel sector since the closure of the tunnels that formed the only lifeline to bring basic necessities into the enclave in defiance of the illegal – and crippling – Israeli siege of Gaza. Students and workers have faced waits of several hours for public transport, or been completely unable to attend, bringing the region to a virtual standstill.
Students and workers are not the only ones affected. At its weekly meeting on Tuesday, the Gaza Council of Ministers called for international action to avert the growing humanitarian crisis caused by the severe impact of the closures on the health sector. Generators are unable to operate because of the fuel shortage, limiting the provision of critical services in clinics and hospitals, while some 30% of essential medicines and supplies are completely unavailable, and more than 500 patients cannot leave through Egypt to get urgent medical treatment.
While Egyptian authorities have agreed to open the Rafah Crossing on Wednesday and Thursday for four hours each day for 'emergency cases only' this will barely make a dent the 500+ medical cases, let alone the 5,000 humanitarian cases, students, business people, and workers waiting to cross, some for several weeks, if not months.
Whilst the Egyptian closure of the Rafah Crossing and the tunnels has exacerbated the existing situation, the fundamental issue to be tackled is the illegal Israeli siege of Gaza, strengthened to strangling point in 2006.
In its 2012 Annual Report released in March, The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) lamented the fact that the Israeli siege of Gaza has become institutionalised, and risks becoming legitimised by the international community, even if inadvertently.
"… [Israel's] systematic policies have consistently violated the right to an adequate standard of living, the right to adequate housing, education, and social security, and the right to the highest attainable standard of mental and physical health," PCHR said then.
"The crisis can be ended only with the immediate lifting of the closure, the removal of the restrictions on movement to and from the Gaza Strip, and the reversal of the ban on exports."
How much truer that is now, with Egypt's closure of the Rafah Crossing, and the tunnels that provided the only relief.
The international community, particularly the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, must heed the cries from Gaza, and exert effective pressure on Israel, as well as on Egypt, to prevent further unnecessary, indefensible, and reprehensible Palestinian suffering and loss of lives.

The ASX and SGX were slow off the mark with a comprehensive package of arguments showing the deal was in the national interest.
That vacuum of information allowed a range of ill-informed critics to take centre stage and attack the deal with spurious claims. One such claim was that the Australian Securities and Investments Commission would lose its oversight of Australian-traded companies.
Another wayward claim that gained traction in the information vacuum was that the cost of doing business on the ASX would rise to the level of the SGX, which is much less efficient than the ASX. That is not true.
It is no surprise that a report prepared for the ASX would conclude that the deal was in the national interest. But the Access Economics authors, Ian Harper and Chris Richardson, have provided the necessary rigour in testing out the key questions that will have to be considered by Treasurer
Their conclusions are sound. They have backed the conclusions put forward in this column in the days following the deal being announced. The three main conclusions are that it will improve the country's chances of becoming a financial services hub in Asia; improve the ability of Australians to diversify their savings; and lower the cost of capital for Australian companies.
A useful counter-factual argument is that if Swan finds the merger against the national interest then why should he allow foreign competitors to enter the Australian market?
The world of securities trading is going through a period of consolidation that has involved cross-border mergers of exchanges in Europe and North America. That consolidation phase will inevitably move to Asia.
The ASX merger with SGX is, as the authors say, the most logical merger for the two exchanges given that the bulk of future capital flows into Australian investment projects will come from Asian savings, that the ASX and SGX have complementary businesses and similar business models. The merger of the ASX and the SGX, which will create the fifth-largest securities exchange in the world, will ultimately come down to politics.
National interest questions are notoriously nebulous and have a tendency to be highjacked by talkback radio or sectional interests with influence in the popular media.
The ASX has shown what advantages can flow to the economy from becoming more efficient and thereby lowering the cost of transacting. Over the past 10 to 15 years the cost of transacting has halved from about 80 basis points to 40.
That efficiency must be implemented by the SGX, which in turn will benefit investors trading on the merged exchange and companies raising capital through it.
The move by global pharmaceutical company Pfizer to a direct distribution model for the supply of prescription medicines in Australia from January is bad news for the three main wholesalers who acted as Pfizer's middlemen:
The drug maker is moving to protect itself ahead of the upcoming patent expiry of a number of Pfizer medicines, most notably the cholesterol drug Lipitor, which has annual sales of $695 million.
The damage to the wholesalers from a direct distribution model was reflected in the share prices of Sigma, which fell 17.35 per cent to 40.5¢ a share, and API which fell 9.9 per cent to 45.5¢ a share. The share prices plunged despite limited disclosure of the impact on profits.
The Pfizer move is not a positive development for the country's 5000 pharmacies. Instead of being served by three wholesalers competing against each other, the pharmacists will have to deal with an exclusive supplier with considerable market power. Pfizer is yet to release the details of the discounts it will offer pharmacists, so it is not possible to say definitively that the costs of doing business will rise.
But the noises coming out of API and Sigma yesterday do not augur well for the pharmacists. Sigma chief executive
As Hooper pointed out he is losing about 10 to 15 per cent of his wholesale revenues but his costs have stayed the same. Something has to give. The flow-on effect will be that the discounts and other terms offered to pharmacists will have to be adjusted downwards.
Hooper at Sigma does not think that the move by Pfizer will be followed by other pharmaceutical companies. Roche at API highlighted the fact that the federal government reforms to the pharmaceutical benefits scheme (PBS) were estimated to cost the wholesale sector $220 million between 2010 and 2015.
Pfizer is following the same strategy it pursued in the United Kingdom in 2007. In that case its move to direct distribution prompted a mixed review from the Office of Fair Trading, which is the UK's equivalent of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
The OFT warned that if more drug manufacturers opted for exclusivity in distribution in such a way that competition in the sector was reduced significantly then regulatory intervention might be necessary.
So far, that has not occurred. But one would expect the ACCC to at least cast its eye over the new arrangements, which come into force in January next year. The PBS reforms plus the expiry of patented drugs over the next few years will help save the federal government up to $1.9 billion. Those savings are for taxpayers and will not necessarily be reflected at the pharmacy counter.
Pfizer's Lipitor will have about 60 per cent of its revenue lost as a result of the expiry of its patent. But the cost of the co-payment will not change for the man in the street.
Pfizer Australia was yesterday adamant that the change in its distribution model would strengthen its relationship with pharmacies and not affect the timely delivery of its drugs to those buying them at pharmacies.
It has employed DHL to distribute its products. It has been using that company's services for about 10 years. It says only about 17 pharmacies in Australia will not have deliveries made in 24 hours and in those cases it will be 48 hours.
However, it is notable that the powerful Pharmacy Guild of Australia did not respond to the Pfizer announcement with a glowing endorsement. It is neutral.
The guild noted that Pfizer had agreed to set up a committee to monitor the service standards delivered by DHL. A guild representative will be attending the information meetings for pharmacists being held around the country over the next week. Pfizer is describing the move as a partnership with pharmacists. The company is essentially moving to protect its own position against wholesalers that also make or distribute generic drugs.
The sudden departure of
Other senior executives to have gone are: the CEO of APN News & Media, Brendan Hopkins, who resigned in July and will leave this month; executive chairman of Ten Network, Nick Falloon, who will resign and leave the company this week; CEO of PBL Media, Ian Law, who resigned last month; CEO of Austereo, Michael Anderson, who resigned in January and left in June; CEO of Prime Media, Warwick Syphers, who resigned in February; local head of Google, Karim Temsamani, who transferred to the United States; CEO of Macquarie Media Group, Mark Dorney, who has left Macquarie; and the founder and joint CEO of Seek, Paul Bassat, who will leave the running of the company in the hands of his brother Andrew from June next year.
The changing of the guard at so many companies in the one sector in such a short space of time is unprecedented. One theme underlying the changes is the shift from managing in adversity to managing for digital prosperity. The flip side of the executive exodus is the opportunities created for those who replace the incumbents to come up with fresh ideas and create more dynamic organisations better able to meet the forces of change driven by the digital age.

I don't know how to be a wife to my husband, I need to change, .
A couple hours ago I made a phone call looking for help for my adult daughter and her drinking. I have been focused on getting her to stop drinking, to no avail. It was suggested that I attend Al-Anon and get help and support for myself, and that that might encourage my daughter to consider it. The light bulb went on: I realized the point is to move the focus off my daughter and put it on me — ie. to move the focus from where I have no control to where I do, where I can make changes.
So, in looking for meetings & information, I found your podcasts. Ms. Montgomery's statement — about "…being obsessed with someone else's life" hit the nail on the head and "pounded the idea home." That's it exactly for me — the big key! I thank you so much for these podcasts. Being able to hear others share their experiences right here, right now, where I am, brought immediate comfort, encouragement and hope.
P.S. While I was listening to your podcasts, etc., and typing this, my daughter said, "I feel a little better and I'm going out to a meeting."
Thank you for this website!

Market razed in Ivory Coast clashes
A market has been burnt down in the central Ivory Coast town of Daloa and police suspect a political motive.
The government has imposed a two-day curfew from dusk until dawn in an attempt to halt the violence.
The market fire came a day after three people were shot dead and about 30 more injured in clashes between rival political parties.
Supporters of President Laurent Gbagbo's ruling FPI party fought with activists from Alassane Ouattara's RDR party, the Mayor of Daloa, Guede Guina, told the BBC.
Tensions have been rising ahead of local elections on 7 July.
Much of the market was destroyed by flames and many of the stalls not burnt were torn down to prevent the fire spreading to two petrol stations.
The police believe the fire was linked to the political violence but they do not know who started it, according to the BBC's David Chazan in Daloa.
He said most of the market traders were from the north of the country, ethnically Dioula and Muslim like the RDR supporters of Mr Ouattara.
Daloa's population is mostly Bete, the same ethnic group as President Gbagbo.
The trouble appears to have broken out following RDR protests over the recent killing of a minibus driver. The opposition blame the death on the police.
The bus driver, Lansana Bakare, an RDR member, was shot last week after failing to stop at a police roadblock. His funeral ceremonies started on Monday.
His mourners were offended by the president's supporters holding a party meeting on Tuesday only 200 metres from the mosque where the funeral rites were ongoing.
According to witnesses, RDR militants led a protest march, hurling stones and insults at the FPI, accusing them of protecting the so-called "killer police".
The FPI supporters responded angrily and the row erupted into violent clashes.
An RDR member said they were not expecting the FPI supporters to be armed, according to the BBC's Kate Davenport in Abidjan.
Three of the opposition protesters were shot dead in the clashes.
The government has dispatched large numbers of security personnel to the area, in an attempt to keep the peace.

Senator Golden Announces City to Take Action on Abandoned Brooklyn Home
Brooklyn – State Senator Martin J. Golden (R-C-I, Brooklyn) is proud to announce that after efforts spanning many years, a demolition order has been issued by the New York City Department of Buildings, and coordinated efforts are underway with the New York City Department of Housing, Preservation and Development, to take down to ground level, a dilapidated home at 237-79th Street in Brooklyn.
The most recent inspection found unsafe conditions present with the home's structure and the City's action is expected within the next two weeks.
Senator Marty Golden stated, "My staff and I have worked with the City of New York over the years to see that this property is regularly inspected and conditions are checked by the Health and Buildings Departments. I am glad that a final resolution has been reached that will improve the quality of life of this block which has had to endure this dangerous eyesore for so many years. "
Golden continued, "This community was just witness to a collapse of an abandoned, poorly maintained home, and the planned action by the City will make sure that the same thing does not happen at this location. Today, we reiterate that safety is the priority and we send a message that our neighborhood will not accept the ruination and endangerment of a block at the hands of a property owner."
Senator Golden is urging area residents to contact his office to report the presence of abandoned properties throughout his district so that additional locations can be brought to the attention of City officials.

I finally decided the MD in the beginning of the model number might mean military and returned the watch just now saying it would not go to 12 hour.
thanks for trying. it is appreciated.

When I look at a wildlife or nature subject, I don't see the feathers in the wings, I just count the wings. I see exciting shapes, color combinations, patterns, textures, fascinating behavior and endless possibilities for making interesting pictures. I regard the picture as an ecosystem in which all the elements are interrelated, interdependent, perfectly balanced, without trimming or unutilized parts; and herein lies the lure of painting; in a world of chaos, the picture is one small rectangle in which the artist can create an ordered universe.

How truly sweet it was to him a letter that he subsequently wrote to Georgiana from Passy enables us in some measure to realize.
Franklin was still envoy plenipotentiary at beautiful Passy.
Passy and Romainville are not exactly side by side, that is true; and they are not much alike, either.
She sobbed still more and stammered, 'I beseech you, monsieur, take me to Passy.
He afterwards rendered me many services in going to and fro from Passy to Paris; and, as he promised, brought me my servant.
I am going to the station, where my trunk must have arrived by now, and then I shall drive to Passy.'
There were secret interviews at Paris and at Passy between these two rivals.
At Passy we were received with shrugging shoulders and outspread hands.
The most substantial people of Passy, some of them rolling in riches, were present.
He went to Passy twice without being able to find him at home.

Birmingham-Southern College receives grant
to increase environmental awareness among students
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Birmingham-Southern
College has received a grant to encourage student-initiated projects
and educational programs that preserve and enhance the natural resources
of the state.
The $1,000 Associated Colleges of the South grant
will fund "Green to the Last Drop," a program to distribute
thermal travel mugs made of recycled plastic to first-year Birmingham-Southern
students at no charge. The mugs will be imprinted with a BSC logo
and an environmental slogan. New first-year students enrolled on
campus next fall will receive a mug during the college's Freshman
Orientation Weekend.
"The project will increase visibility
of student environmental initiatives by providing first-year students
with a visible example that reduces waste and consumption of Styrofoam
and supports environmentally friendly or recycled projects,"
said Cori Jobe, a senior biology major from Keystone Heights, Fla.,
who created the program.
The mug program at BSC is supported by the Environmental
Programs Division of the ACS Alliance for Student Development and
Engagement. Jobe currently is serving as an ACS environmental intern
at BSC for the 2002-03 academic year.
ACS is a consortium of 16 liberal arts colleges
and universities in 12 Southern states that work cooperatively to
strengthen academic programs of the member institutions and to promote
to others the nature of a liberal arts education and the vital role
it plays in society.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/2/2013 (1611 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BU coach gone viral
Great half-court shot by coach Gil Cheung to win tuition for a BU student and even better publicity for Brandon University. Way over two million views on YouTube as of Thursday afternoon. We have an international star in our presence. Way to go, coach!
It's still too high
To the Brandon School Division, are we, the taxpayers of this city, supposed to be grateful that you didn't raise the increase (as high) as you has originally stated? You need to go back and make this huge increase go away! People are tapped out in this city!
A message to the Brandon School Board
Get real! A 8.5 per cent mill rate increase! It seems that our school board has become a bilking machine. What happened to all the money the government has given to the school board? I don't think you people have cut back far enough. I can't afford to keep paying and paying and paying for your gimme-gimmies. It is time to put a freeze on bureaucratic spending and all this other stuff that is going on. Enough is enough!
Don't blame NDP on this one
I wouldn't blame the NDP government for the huge tax hike from the Brandon School Division. The NDP clearly noted that they questioned the hiring of teachers not needed until 2017. The problem is with the school board itself.
I am not going to take this anymore!
I have been an NDPer since I was born, you might say, and they promised us that they would take away the school taxes from the seniors and it has not happened. Drew Caldwell and his NDPers, I will never vote for you again! Out the door you go! In fact, what we should be looking at is a coalition against these tax increases. I have had enough! This school board tax increase is ludicrous. No more! Let's get out there and fight them. Hold our taxes if there is any possible way! Let's get a lawyer and say "screw you guys" — we are not paying!
Teachers could handle big classes when I went to school
When you think of it, when I went to school, a few years ago now, we used to have 35 students in a class. You know what? We were there to learn what our books said, the teachers would answer questions and give explantations. Having 35 kids in a class sure didn't do us any harm. In fact, the years between then and now have been the most productive in Canada's history.
Some day it will be too loud for you too
To the person who wrote about the high volume of the music at hockey games, I couldn't agree more! The volume of the music at the Midget Wheat Kings games at the Sportsplex is so high, that it actually hurts the ear drums! I have no concerns about the choice of music itself, only the high volume. The music is left playing at the same high volume between periods. You are unable to comfortably carry on a conversation with the person beside you. Evening after evening, fans complain about the volume of the music. I have spoken to the management at the Sportsplex and they tell me they have no control over the volume of the music. I have spoken to the people operating the sound system and have gotten no response. Who does have control over the volume of music being played in a public place?

Fewer Iowa taxpayers may qualify for the state Earned Income Tax Credit, but a proposal to increase the credit from 7 percent to 20 percent would triple the cost from $27.5 million to nearly $83 million, according to the Department of Revenue.
Senate File 88 is similar to a bill the Senate approved with bipartisan support last year to raise the credit to 13 percent. Sponsor Sen. Joe Bolkcom, D-Iowa City, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, called that a "pretty modest" increase. His House counterpart, Rep. Tom Sands, R-Wapello, said it would be "pretty tough to go that far" unless the credit was part of a larger tax relief package. That's doable, Sands added.
Bolkcom made clear that the increase to 20 percent is a top priority for him.
"If we don't get this, I'll be hard to deal with," he said.
Under the measure, about 210,000 of Iowa's 1.46 million taxpayers would qualify for the credit, according to the revenue department. Most are families earning less than $20,000 a year and represent 37 percent of Iowa children, Bolkcom said.
Drought monitoring: To help communities and water utilities prepare for continued drought, and flooding, a Senate Natural Resources subcommittee approved Senate File 165 to make $1.035 million available to gather information and provide technical assistance.
In 2012, drought in Iowa caused more than $1 billion in damage, Sen. Rob Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids, said, and if it continues, the damage will be greater.
The funds would be used to re-establish monitoring of aquifers, which has been discontinued due to lack of funding, said Tim Hall of the Department of Natural Resources. Funds would be used for groundwater source mapping and aquifer modeling as well as providing technical assistance to communities and rural water associations, Hall said.
Hogg expects the bill to be taken up by the full Natural Resources Committee on Thursday.
Go, Rusty, go: NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Rusty Wallace is now an honorary Iowan. Gov. Terry Branstad made that official Wednesday in a Statehouse ceremony for the former driver who won 55 events, held 36 pole positions, made 697 consecutive race starts and posted 202 top-five finishes during his career. Wallace, a Missouri native, said he was honored by the proclamation and said he will continue to make frequent visits to Iowa, where he helped open the Iowa Speedway near Newton in 2006.
Midwest governors: Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad's term as chairman of the Midwestern Governors Association has ended and Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton has assumed the group's reins. Branstad, who served during the association's 50th anniversary year, worked to renew the Midwestern "brand" during his one-year term. Dayton's agenda for 2013 will focus on coordinating state responses to invasive species that pose a significant threat to the region's ecosystem — with special attention given to Asian carp and zebra mussels. A recap of Branstad's agenda is available at www.midwesterngovernors.org/chairagenda2012.htm.
Accessible gas pumps: Legislation seeking to provide handicapped Iowans better access to motor fuel pumps faces an uncertain future in the Iowa Senate.
Senate File 235 directs the state Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship to establish standards by rule requiring a retail dealer to have a motor fuel pump capable of assisting persons with disabilities. Service stations would be required to post a sign on or near the gas pump denoting a special call button that customers could use to receive personal assistance from a retail dealer. The bill also would require the state ag department to conduct an inspection of motor fuel pumps as part of its regular inspection schedule.
During a subcommittee meeting Wednesday, critics said the regulations already are covered under the federal Americans with Disabilities Act and many stations are in the process of trying to comply with the requirements. Proponents said more is needed to prod retailers into compliance, but two subcommittee members expressed concern over the cost to stations and adding more duties to a state agency already impacted by spending reductions. The bill sought to establish a simple misdemeanor for days a retail dealers was out of compliance.
Government transparency: Senate Republicans are pushing for greater government accountability. To make the lawmaking process more transparent to Iowans, GOP senators are seeking to require a "statement of constitutional authority" to accompany all legislation filed in the General Assembly.
They also authored a separate bill requiring legislators to provide statements of legislative intent in bills creating or expanding a government program. "It's about explaining to current and future legislators why this law was created. So many times the intent of the law gets lost in the rule make process," said Sen. Rick Bertrand, R-Sioux City.
Quote of the day: "I guess the governor should have signed this a couple of years ago and we would be stuck at 10 percent," Sen. Joe Bolkcom, D-Iowa City, responding to a question about why his bill increases the Earned Income Tax Credit from 7 percent to 20 percent.

Donald Pettit
White male
Age at time: 52
Weapon: unarmed
James Patrick Wonder
White male
Age at time: 65
Weapon: gun
Case type:
Road rage
Case year:
Location details: In a post office parking lot in Pembroke Pines, Broward County, on Aug. 05, 2008
What happened: James Wonder and Donald Pettit began arguing with each other in what authorities described as a road rage incident. Wonder pulled over into a post office parking lot and Pettit followed to continue the argument. Pettit, a federal customs agent, had his 12-year-old daughter with him and left his gun in his car when he got out to confront Wonder. Wonder did not call police after he shot Pettit and tried to hide his involvement by coloring his hair and renting a car.
The outcome: A grand jury indicted Wonder on manslaughter but indicated they believed the victim shared fault in the slaying. At the "stand your ground" hearing for immunity, the judge said the law did not apply. Judge Bernard Bober wrote that Pettit did not pose an imminent threat to Wonder and should not have been met with deadly force. The trial is pending.
Investigating agency: Pembroke Pines Police
Case decision made by: Judge
Trayvon Martin's death became controversial because circumstances leading up to the shooting cast doubt on who was to blame. The Tampa Bay Times reviewed other "stand your ground" cases for similar circumstances. The Times relied on available information, some of which may not tell the whole story. When the situation was unclear, that was noted.
Did the victim initiate the confrontation?
Was the victim armed?
Was the victim committing a crime that led to the confrontation?
Did the defendant pursue the victim?
Could the defendant have retreated to avoid the conflict?
Was the defendant on his or her property?
Did someone witness the attack?
Was there physical evidence?

Google Maps' Street View Available to iOS 6 Users Via Safari

Google Maps' Street View on Safari for iOS 6
(Source: appleinsider.com)
As of now, most geographic areas in the U.S. and Canada are included in the Street View option
Many iOS 6 users have expressed their longing for Google Maps features since
Apple decided to release its own mapping service
for the new OS, and now, Street View has been made available via the Web app version.
IOS 6 and iPhone 5 users can now use Street View once again on Google Maps' Web app, which is accessible through Safari's built-in search function or the Google Maps homepage.
Through Safari, users can bring up the map for a satellite view of an area they've searched. In the bottom right-hand corner, a new stick figure icon shows up alongside other basic mapping tools, and by pressing this, the Street View option opens in a new window. According to reports, the panning and scrolling tools are intuitive, but there is no zoom.
Google Maps' Street View, which offers a 360-degree street level view of various cities, rolled out for many areas throughout the day. As of now, most geographic areas in the U.S. and Canada are included.
Last month, Google announced that it would
bring a Google Maps app to iOS 6
users in a couple of months while it works on a new version for the OS. Google Maps was the previous mapping service of choice for iOS users, but Apple dropped the bomb on Google this year when it announced plans of deploying its own mapping service in iOS 6.
Once iOS 6 was released in early September, users noticed many problems, such as geography that didn't match that of Earth's and a poor navigation system. Apple took a lot of heat, and
Google's Exeutive Chairman Eric Schmidt
even said that
Apple should've stayed with Google Maps
Apple Insider
"We can't expect users to use common sense. That would eliminate the need for all sorts of legislation, committees, oversight and lawyers." -- Christopher Jennings
