Beijing (AFP) Oct 28, 2007
Fuel shortages were reported at petrol stations throughout China Sunday as the cost of oil on the domestic market lagged behind record global prices, prompting refiners to slow deliveries.
Petrol stations were temporarily closed or refusing to sell petrol and diesel in Shanghai, the southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian and in the central and eastern regions of Zhejiang, Shandong and Henan, state media reports said.
"In recent days the demand and supply situation for oil products has been tight," the People's Daily website quoted a PetroChina official from Henan province as saying.
"The main reason is that international oil prices have reached record highs while domestic prices have not followed suit. This has seriously influenced the production activities of refiners."
With government subsidies keeping fuel prices artificially low, petrol stations are either running out of supplies or are shutting operations hoping for a state-approved rise, he said.
Price controls in China often result in oil being cheaper domestically than internationally, a situation that is especially exacerbated with large upward swings on the global market.
World oil prices surged to historic highs Friday, breaching 92 dollars a barrel for the first time in New York following a week of price surges.
According to Shanghai's Xinmin Evening News Sunday, numerous petrol stations along the major Shanghai-Hangzhou highway were jammed with vehicles after they had run out of supplies of diesel.
The report also said people hoping to depart the city for weekend outings had difficulty finding petrol stations selling supplies Sunday morning.
In some parts of the country, commuters were being limited to purchases of only 100 yuan (13 dollars) of petrol, or were forced to buy premium fuel due to shortages of low-octane petrol, various reports said.
Truckers were also finding it difficult to tank up with diesel at a time when seasonal demand was expected to rise due to the ongoing harvest season.
Demand for energy in China, the world's second-largest oil importer, has rocketed as a result of explosive economic growth that has been in double digits for four consecutive years.
Imports last year accounted for 47 percent of the country's overall consumption, and industry observers have warned imports might make up more than 50 percent of its petroleum needs in a year or two.
During the first eight months of the year, China's net imports of crude oil rose 18.1 percent over the same period last year.
Chinese demand has been identified as at least partly responsible for currently high oil prices.

Subject: [GA-ROOTS] Dr. Nathaniel Newton Smith & Family
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2009 14:22:39 -0700 (PDT)
I am looking for information in regard to my fourth great-uncle Nathaniel Newton Smith & his family.
Uncle Nathaniel Newton was born 08 April 1799 Rutherford County, North Carolina to Robert & Elizabeth ROBERSON Smith of Rutherford County, North Carolina to DeKalb County, Georgia, & died 20 December 1868 La Grange, Troup County, Georgia.
Uncle Nathaniel Newton married first Alelujah 'Aley' B. WOMACK, born 1817 died 07 November 1842, in 1835. His second wife was Eliza S. McBRIDE, born 08 August 1807 died 02 January 1885.
Uncle Nathaniel Newton & Aunt Aley had the following children:
Robert S. Smith born about 1836 Georgia
Wiley W. Smith born about 1838 Georgia
Ann E. Smith born about 1840
According to the Troup County website Uncle Nathaniel & Aunt Aley moved to Troup County in 1838, I believe from another Georgia county (I just do not know which one).
They are recorded in the 1840 Troup County census, 1850 Troup County census with a Jane McColly(sp?) age fifteen & a Sarah J. Stembridge age 13 living with them (I do not know their relation, if any), 1860 Troup County census, 1870 Eliza is living in Troup County still & for 1880 I have been unable to find her.
There is a Wiley W. Smith & wife C R Smith living with J C & M E Cutright(sp?), I am unsure if this is Cousin Wiley or another Wiley Smith.
Any help on this family would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You,

Brushing off accusation that she has been lying about her musical past, the 42-year-old single mother says she never toured with Madonna, Whitney Houston or Prince.
Stacy Francis, who is one of the standouts on "The X Factor (US)", has come out with a denial to reports that she is hiding the truth about her musical career. Responding to the accusation made by PerezHilton.com, the 42-year-old singer from Brooklyn claimed she has always been honest.
"There are a lot of things which aren't true being said about me, too many to list actually! So I just wanted to tell you I have always been honest with you and will continue to do so," she stated on her official fan site. "I could only have wished to have had the success and support some people now claim I have - but right now I'm getting my break and thank you for this!"
Denying that she has found fame before joining the Simon Cowell-created show, Stacy wrote on her Twitter page, "If I am such a huge star. I have a question for all of my NEW FANS!?? DID YOU KNOW MY NAME B4 The Xfactor?? No u didn't Simon [Cowell] discovered me."
PerezHilton.com has been posting a number of articles which try to bare evidences that Stacy once had a promising music career. According to the gossip site, the single mother has recorded an album back in 2008, including doing a track with Brandy. It was additionally reported that she has performed with the likes of Madonna, Prince, Whitney Houston and Chaka Khan.
"Honestly my mind is on the competition. But I have never toured with Madonna. Chaka Khan. Whitney Houston or Prince!! OMG! LOL!! Seriously!," Stacy responded to the report via her Twitter. She added, "Oh and I never had a solo album! Either!!! Omg!!!!!! LOL I have to laugh now. I have cried enough.. Jesus help us all! LOL"
Stacy indeed has had experience on Broadway, but she claimed her chance to make it big was taken away when she was involved in an abusive relationship. "I haven't performed in 12 years bcuz I was in a domestic abuse relationship. And then I was told I was too old," she tweeted.
A source has also defended Stacy, telling E! Online, "Stacy stopped singing when she was 30 years old because of that relationship. She had some gigs here and there, but she's never lied about that. Were they big gigs? No. She's just wants to get that big break now."

At Il Posto, the risotto is worth the wait
The risotto at Il Posto is made to order.
Mark Manger
Hours before a restaurant's doors open, cooks are already at their stations, chopping onions, simmering stocks, breaking down chickens, and so on. As much as possible is done in advance -- which is good, because long waits make for cranky guests. Efficiency and quality, however, don't always go hand in hand.
It takes twenty to thirty minutes to properly make risotto, a v-e-r-y long time if you're sitting at a table waiting for food. To shorten the wait, many chefs partially cook the rice, then finish it to order. However, as Andrea Frizzi, chef-owner of Il Posto, notes, the short-cut causes rice to "release and lose a lot of starch" -- which is bad, since starch is what gives this classic Italian dish its coveted creaminess.

I've had so much bad risotto over the years -- either overcooked and gummy or as dried out as fried rice -- I've all but stopped ordering it. But recent meals at Il Posto, where the risotto is made to order, have reminded me just how good risotto can be.
Il Posto is about to celebrate its six-year anniversary. Find out how the place has held up -- and how the rest of Frizzi's high-end Italian fare stacks up -- when my review is posted here tomorrow.
And in the meantime, are there other items you've stopped ordering because you've had one too many disappointments? And if you still dare order risotto, where do you go? Share your thoughts with us below.

Our nation's philosophical dilemma about a republic versus the royal family perhaps explains a state's obsession with a prince: the whiff of a title opens doors. This one was not quite British but a little more exotic – Tahitian – and, most importantly, fake. Joel Barlow, now colloquially known as the Fake Tahitian Prince, is the stuff of urban Australian legend.
In December 2011, the 36-year-old New Zealand national (real name Hohepa Morehu-Barlow) was charged with defrauding his employer, Queensland Health, of more than $16 million, which he spent on luxury items.
The auction last Sunday of Barlow's seized goods and chattels, the profits of which will be returned to Queensland Health, attracted both serious and curious attention from diverse quarters.
Bidding was fierce and farcical, many items achieving well over their recommended retail value. The Prince's watch collection included a Chanel J12 black ceramic wristwatch with diamond numerals that finally sold for $10,000 under the hammer plus 22 per cent commission – against a retail value of $8100. His jewellery collection and vast array of Louis Vuitton luggage were hot items. An unused Louis Vuitton surfboard sold for $7000.
Barlow's wardrobe was sold in several hundred lots of clothing and accessories, most were unworn. One of four televisions, a Bang & Olufsen, achieved $55,000, more than doubling its estimate. One of a few anomalous inclusions, a Brett Whiteley screen print, achieved $15,000.

COPPERAS COVE The football season has officially ended and the Bulldawgs have gotten their due awards for having the most remarkable season in school history but that does not mean that sports in Copperas Cove has ended.
The Lady Dawg basketball team is getting set to host the second annual Bush's Chicken Holiday Classic Dec. 28-30. The tournament, which has gone to a girls-only format this year, will play host to 16 teams over the three-day period with the games being split between Copperas Cove High School and S.C.

The Lady Dawgs opened the District 13-5A basketball season with a loss to Bryan, one of the preseason favorites, Tuesday night but not without a great effort from two unheralded players.
Leslie Martinez and Medina Smith each stepped up and provided a spark to the Cove effort in different aspects. Martinez scored a game-high 21 points and Smith provided four blocked shots in addition to nine points coming off the bench.
The Lady Dawgs have another stiff test on Friday as they travel to College Station and battle the A&M Consolidated Lady Tigers. Both teams will be looking for their first district victory as Consol dropped a 73-55 decision to Waco on Tuesday.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Leslie Martinez, freshman, guard. After struggling though a tough first half of shooting, Martinez scored 13 points in the third quarter en route to 21 in the Lady Dawgs 69-59 loss to Bryan on Tuesday night.

FLORENCE – The husband and wife piano duo, nicknamed the "Lenti 20" by the British press, will perform at the 22nd annual Art's Alive! celebration Saturday, April 24, at Francis Marion University.
Drs. Tony and Marianne Lenti formed their duo in Florence, Italy, for a concert presented for the delegation to the Paris Peace Accords. Their Italian debut was at the request of the Consul General, during the couple's honeymoon. They had never performed as a duo.
The internationally acclaimed duo performs at one and at two pianos. Tony is the grandson of Vincent Rose, famed Tin Pan Alley composer of more than 200 songs, including "Avalon," "Whispering," and "Blueberry Hill." His mother, Anna Lenti, wrote children's songs for Columbia Records.
Marianne's background, she says, was largely shaped by episodes of "I Love Lucy" and "The Three Stooges," and, eventually, daily piano and dance study. The couple met while attending the Eastman School of Music in Rochester.
The duo, currently in residence at Lander University, are on the faculty of the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts.
Art's Alive! is a day-long festival to celebrate the visual and performing arts and begins at 10 a.m. All events are free.
For more information regarding the day's events, visit the FMU website at www.fmarion.edu/newseven. For an Art's Alive! brochure, call the University Relations office at 843-661-1220.

Jessica Simpson Makes Bid to Become World's Least Qualified Relationship Expert
Isn't this a little like getting diet tips from Kirstie Alley? Jessica Simpson's long line of beaus may have a habit of slipping out of her grasp like so many greased pigs, but she knows exactly how the rest of you lovelorn gals out there can attain lasting love. Yeah, really, just ask her. The Price of Beauty hostess recently revealed the secret to everlasting romantic bliss while speaking to Fox News:
"It's important for women not to find their confidence in a man. I think you really have to know who you are before you can truly fall in love and give your all, and I don't think a man can define you. You have to own that. So if you're ever with anyone who says you should change something about yourself then they should never fall in love with you in the first place."
That's right, ladies; it's crucial that you not allow yourself to be defined by the men in your life. Which is why you'll never see Jessica blabbing about her relationships in the media. Like, ever.
Next up: Simpson lectures us all on the importance of proper oral hygiene. Because she seems equally qualified to dispense advice on that topic too.

With Carbon Emissions, American Interests Should Come First
The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) recently collected public comments on the social cost of carbon, a measure that federal agencies use in cost-benefit analyses of regulations that affect greenhouse gas emissions. The social cost of carbon is intended to measure the dollar value of the harm caused through climate change when an extra metric ton of carbon dioxide is emitted in the United States. Unfortunately, the executive branch has not properly answered the question: Harm to whom?
Federal agencies currently use a global measure of the social cost of carbon that includes the harm that U.S. emissions impose on everyone in the world. As I explained in my comment to OMB, however, the agencies should use a domestic cost measure that includes only harms to Americans, unless and until there's an international agreement to address climate change.
A number of federal agencies initially used domestic cost measures. In 2010, however, an interagency working group adopted a global cost measure to be used by all agencies. Choosing the right measure is important - global costs are estimated to be 10 to 14 times larger than domestic costs.
The problem with using a global measure is that it requires Americans to sacrifice their wellbeing for the sake of people elsewhere in the world. Suppose, for example, that each ton of U.S. emissions imposes $4 of climate costs on Americans and $36 of climate costs on the rest of the world, so that the domestic cost is $4 and the global cost is $40. Consider a regulation that reduces emissions by a ton while imposing $20 of costs on the U.S. economy. Under the domestic measure, this regulation - like any regulation costing more than $4 - would be rejected. Under the global measure, though, the regulation would be adopted on the grounds that Americans' $16 sacrifice is outweighed by the $36 gain enjoyed by the rest of the world.
Should federal regulators impose these costs on Americans for the greater good of the world? Certainly, the lives and health of human beings outside the United States have the same moral value as the lives and health of human beings inside the United States. And, we are inspired when we see people working across international borders to combat poverty, disease, and oppression. Nevertheless, those sentiments offer a flawed guide for public policy because they fail to recognize that the U.S. government's primary mission is to serve the American people.
As set forth in our Constitution, the U.S. government was established by and for "the people of the United States." That principle is so obvious that it's rarely even discussed. We take for granted that our government places higher priority on aiding Americans without health insurance than on assisting the vast populations overseas who lack even the rudiments of basic medical care. One economic study estimated that, if our government cared equally about Americans and the rest of the world, it would have spent $16,000 per American on foreign aid in 1999, almost 500 times more than the amount it actually spent.
The principle that the U.S. government should primarily serve the American people does not reflect any special worth of Americans. Instead, it reflects the special relationship that the citizens of any country have with their own government. International law recognizes that governments are entitled to serve their citizens to the exclusion of other people.
So, why did the interagency working group depart from these longstanding principles? The group asserted that the global cost measure was appropriate because "climate change presents a problem that the United States alone cannot solve. Even if the United States were to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to zero, that step would be far from enough to avoid substantial climate change. Other countries would also need to take action." But, those observations refute, rather than support, the group's position. If our government uses a global measure without other countries agreeing to do the same, we're just ramping up the unilateral approach that the working group admitted can't solve the problem.
Things would be different if an international climate agreement called on all countries to use a global cost measure - then each country, including ours, could benefit as everyone reduced their greenhouse gas emissions together. It would make sense to cooperate with other countries for everyone's mutual benefit, but it does not make sense to sacrifice Americans' wellbeing in futile efforts to unilaterally solve global problems.
Furthermore, Congress and the president have not adopted legislation instructing federal agencies to consider the impact of climate change on people outside the United States. (In fact, when members of Congress and President Obama warn about the harmful effects of climate change, they consistently emphasize droughts, fires, and hurricanes in this country, a pattern that continued to hold in the Senate's recent all-night discussion of climate change.) Without legislative authorization, the interagency working group lacks the democratic legitimacy to make a sweeping moral decision requiring the American people to sacrifice their wellbeing for the sake of the rest of the world.
In the absence of an international climate agreement, federal agencies should use a domestic measure of the social cost of carbon. That approach would return federal policy to its proper focus - the wellbeing of the American people.

By David Suzuki Foundation on June 24, 2009 at 11:47 AM
One of the first herbs to come up in our balcony garden was mint. One of my favorite "green" spa recipes for this easy to grow herb is a lovely foot bath. Here's what to do:
- Pick a handful of fresh mint leaves (any type will do like spearmint or peppermint)
- Cut 5 – 6 springs of fresh rosemary (fresh from the store will do)
- In a saucepan on the stove heat one cup (250 ml) of milk on low heat, add herbs
- After 15 minutes, pour mixture into a big bowl (enough to soak your feet)
- Top bowl up with cool water until you have the temperature you want
- Finally add 6 drops of peppermint essential oil, stir and insert tired feet!
Ingredient low down:
Milk — soothes itchy and dry skin
Peppermint herb and oil — antibacterial, antiseptic helping control the spread of bacteria on the skin's surface. Very refreshing and invigorating.
Rosemary herb — antibacterial and invigorating

Tired of all those chargers for all of your gadgets? Cameras, cell phones, PSPs, laptops, everything has a power cord even if it's portable. In a few years that may be a thing of the past (well, maybe more than a few years). Intel has been researching wireless charging technology and has shown it off for the first time.
Intel's system uses two metal rings connected by to a power amplifier. The two rings transmit power to any device close to it. Sure, it's not entirely efficient (the numbers seem to say it's only about 75 percent efficient when transmitting 60 watts two feet), but it given time that could improve. The Wired article assures that the technology is safe for humans, so that's a plus.
Imagining the day when all our gadgets could be charged wirelessly, when laptops aren't bound to the wall when the battery runs out makes me quite happy. I doubt that day will come very soon, but it'd be nice if it did.

Long Nose Virginia
The primary goal of cosmetic Rhinoplasty is always to bring balance and harmony to the face. This is accomplished by reducing attention to the nose and redirecting it to the beauty of the eyes and lips. As such, the nose has to fit the face. It cannot be too long, too short, too wide or too narrow. It must be just right.
A long nose is a nose that is simply too long for the face. This is always relative to the patient's sex, age, height, facial size and proportions. For example, occasionally a nose is best left "too long" in order to balance and offset a forehead that is too long, or a chin than is too strong. Creating an "ideal nose" in such situations would direct undue attention to the less-than-ideal forehead or chin.
A long nose can be too long in the vertical dimension (superior-inferior or cephalic-caudal), &/or it can also be too long in the horizontal dimension (anterior-posterior). Typically on profile view, the nasal starting point for white (Caucasian) patients is usually at the level of the "superior eyelid crease." For African American and Hispanic patients, the nasal starting point is usually at the level of the pupils. The length of the nose in the vertical dimension is essentially equal to 1/3rd of the length of the face or slightly less. The length of the nose in the horizontal dimension is known as its "projection." Projection of the nose should be roughly equal to the length of the upper lip. We have discussed these proportions in other chapters of this Online Textbook of Rhinoplasty.
{It is important to note that as Rhinoplasty Surgeons, whenever we are reviewing and discussing Facial or Nasal Analysis, we have to use proper photographs. Proper photographs are taken with an SLR camera (digital or film) using a 105mm lens. A Single Reflex Lens camera with a 105mm Macro lens creates the least photographic distortion and artifact. Essentially the photograph is as true to life as possible. Significant distortions are seen with point-and-shoot cameras, and cell phone cameras, such as the ones often submitted online using the iPhone. For a Rhinoplasty Surgeon to be able to make proper measurements and analyze the nose, the subject's face must be in a standardized position. The Frankfort Horizontal Line (a line drawn from the upper edge of the ear canal to the lower orbital rim) must be parallel to the floor.}
Once the Rhinoplasty Surgeon has made the diagnosis of a "long nose," the proper surgical techniques must be employed to create a beautiful but natural looking nose. These Rhinoplasty maneuvers should be used meticulously and incrementally, from least invasive to more aggressive until the desired results have been achieved.
Having a frank discussion between the Plastic Surgeon and the patient is very important. Similar to how there is only so much a short nose can be safely lengthened, there is only so much a long nose can be safely shortened as well. Often the rate-limiting factor is the skin and soft tissue envelope. If the nose is made significantly smaller or shorter, there may be "too much" skin left over. While most of the time, after a Rhinoplasty, nasal skin "shrink wraps nicely over the newly modified cartilage and bone framework, too much skin will not. These rare, but important Rhinoplasty cases create situations, where the inability of the skin to drape and shrink-wrap over the nasal framework, leaves a space between the skin and deeper cartilages. This space is initially occupied with fluid (edema or swelling) after the Rhinoplasty. But over a matter of weeks and months, this edema fluid is replaced with scar tissue. This problem is most often seen in Rhinoplasty patients with very thick and stiff skin. Thick skin is much less likely to simply drape and shrink-wrap over the deeper cartilages and bones of the nose. In many situations, serial monthly conservative steroid injections may be necessary to "melt" this scar tissue and allow the skin to settle over and adhere to the nasal framework. However, in cases where the nasal cartilages and bones where made significantly smaller (too small), the skin may be unable to adhere properly, creating less than desired results. Experienced Rhinoplasty Surgeons must not make such mistakes. More importantly, Rhinoplasty Surgeons must educate their patients during the Cosmetic Rhinoplasty consultation, using computer imaging, about such pitfalls and limitations. This way, each Rhinoplasty patient will be able to visualize the limits of Rhinoplasty prior to surgery. In certain cases the nose simply cannot be made that much smaller or shorter, just like in other cases, it cannot be built up greater than a certain length or size. There are limits and being realistic is crucial in achieving excellent Rhinoplasty results and having happy Rhinoplasty patients. In all cases, an experienced Plastic Surgeon should be able to significantly improve the nose and deliver very nice Rhinoplasty results.

Limbaugh joined Hannity in falsely accusing Clinton of rejecting bin Laden offer
Research ››› ››› ANDREW SEIFTER
On the August 11 edition of the Rush Limbaugh Show, radio host Rush Limbaugh repeated one of the favorite discredited accusations of fellow conservative radio host Sean Hannity.
From the August 11 edition of the nationally syndicated Rush Limbaugh Show:
LIMBAUGH: [Former President Bill] Clinton was offered [Osama] bin Laden two or three times, turned him down. Turned down Sudan. Sudan offered it. So Clinton wasn't serious about it [terrorism].
As Media Matters for America has noted, the false claim originated in an August 11, 2002, article on the right-wing news website NewsMax.com that blared the headline "Clinton Admits: I Nixed Bin Laden Extradition Offer," distorting a speech Clinton made in 2002. While he did acknowledge in a July 8 interview with CNN chief international correspondent Christiane Amanpour that he mistakenly implied that the United States was offered bin Laden in that 2002 speech, at no point did Clinton say that Sudan offered bin Laden to the United States in the speech.
The bipartisan 9-11 Commission found (pdf) "no reliable evidence to support" the claim that Sudan offered bin Laden to the United States and determined (pdf) that, based on Clinton's testimony, in "wrongly recounting a number of press stories he had read," Clinton had "misspoken" in his 2002 speech. Clinton further refuted the allegation in a June 20 interview on CBS's 60 Minutes when he said: "There was a story which is factually inaccurate that the Sudanese offered bin Laden to us. ... As far as I know, there is not a shred of evidence of that."
Limbaugh has made the claim at least once before; on May 16 (RUSH 24/7 subscription required), he said, "Remember, the Sudanese government offered to hand Clinton Osama bin Laden's head on a silver platter, and Clinton didn't want him."

SPENDING on pokies in Victoria has decreased by almost a quarter in the past decade.
The Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation has found the average annual spending on poker machines was $613 in 2010-11, down from $627 nine years ago.
But after taking inflation into account, the drop has been steeper - spending per person fell 24 per cent in the period.
In a submission to a Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission inquiry launched into problem gambling in June, the regulator said the decrease could have been caused by changing attitudes to poker machines and the government's efforts to tackle problem gambling.
Government revenue from poker machines has also steadily fallen as a share of the total tax take. In 2010-11, taxes on poker machines made up 6.2 per cent of total state tax revenue, down from 7.3 per cent nine years earlier.
Predictions in the 2012-13 budget suggest the poker machine tax take has edged higher as a proportion of total taxes, although it also includes one-off payments from the auction of poker machine licence entitlements.
The decrease follows the banning of automatic teller machines from gaming venues from July and the setting up of an independent gambling foundation to provide counselling and run campaigns. But a Coalition promise to introduce pre-commitment technology next year - giving gamblers the option of setting limits on their losses - has been put on hold until after the 2014 election.
Gaming Minister Michael O'Brien said that contrary to claims by anti-gambling activists there had been a downward trend in real spending on pokies in Victoria.
The introduction of the ATM ban in July appears to have had an impact. Figures from the regulator show spending fell from $235 million to $219 million over the 12 months to the end of July, covering the first month of the ban.
But the regulator's submission also shows that in some parts of Victoria problem gambling remains chronic.
It showed the average household in regional Victoria was losing 4.1 per cent of its disposable income on poker machines a year, compared with 3.75 per cent for the state as a whole. Gaming operators also appear to be increasingly targeting vulnerable areas, with 7.72 machines per 1000 adults in regional Victoria, compared with 6.05 per cent in Melbourne.
The figures also showed there were 69 problem gamblers per 1000 adults in regional areas contacting gambler help services, compared with an average of 40 in metropolitan areas.
The Municipal Association of Victoria's submission to the inquiry - which drew on the expertise of Monash University gambling expert Charles Livingstone - found that while the level of problem gambling as a proportion of the population fell between 2003 and 2008, when the test was applied to those actually using poker machines, the level of problem gambling ''had stayed remarkably consistent''.
''For both average users and particularly for those classified as problem gamblers, average expenditure increased significantly in real terms, suggesting a likely increase in the level of harm experienced by those with gambling problems,'' it said.
''Although the number of problem gamblers reportedly shrank as a proportion of the population, the harm experienced by those who had a gambling problem was likely to have increased.''
Councils were largely powerless to prohibit new poker machine venues opening, the association said, and reiterated the economic, social and health impacts of problem gambling. It found the $5.1 billion annual gambling losses in Victoria could have been better spent on other businesses.
''This opportunity cost for potential and existing local businesses is of grave concern to local councils seeking to grow and sustain healthy local economies,'' the submission said.
It noted the poor success record of local communities and councils in trying to stop the proliferation of poker machines.
''In Victoria between 1 July, 2007, and 15 August, 2012, there were 106 applications for a new gaming venue or to increase the number of EGMs [electronic gaming machines] in an existing venue, in 43 separate local government areas. Of these, 96 (90.6 per cent) were approved as sought by applicants.''
In 55 cases, council made a submission to the gambling regulator and in 50 cases it opposed the application wholly or in part. ''Where the council opposed the application, it was partly successful in three cases and wholly successful in six.''

Millions of land mines are buried worldwide, and these weapons were responsible for an estimated 16,000 injuries and deaths in 2002.
Georgia Institute of Technology researchers are making progress with a landmine detection system that could ultimately help prevent such losses. The system uses high-frequency seismic waves to displace soil and objects in it slightly (less than one ten-thousandth of an inch). A non-contacting radar sensor then measures the results, creating a visual representation of the displacement that reveals the buried mines.
This seismic-wave system presents potential advantages over existing electromagnetic-wave techniques used in metal detectors and ground-penetrating radars (GPR). Although metal detectors and GPRs can locate mines successfully, they have more trouble locating the small, plastic anti-personnel mines that have become more prevalent. Metal detectors and GPRs can also be confused by ground clutter -- rocks, sticks or scraps of metal - sometimes resulting in many false alarms.
Yet because plastic mines have very different mechanical properties from soil and ground clutter, the seismic waves are capable of detecting and distinguishing these mines from common ground clutter. This has been demonstrated in laboratory and limited field tests.
"When a wave hits a land mine, resonance builds over the top of the mine, triggering a vibration which is bigger than the wave that excited it - and the vibration persists longer," says Waymond R. Scott Jr., a professor in Georgia Tech's School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and principal investigator on the project.
Sponsored by the U.S. Office of Naval Research, the U.S. Army Research
Office and the U.S. Army Night Vision & Electronic Sensors Systems
Directorate, the mine-detection project involves researchers from various
departments at Georgia Tech. This multidisciplinary team started work
in 1997 with computer modeling and lab experiments. Field testing began
in fall 2001, and during the past two years, the researchers have conducted
tests at six sites.
In November 2002, the researchers traveled to a government testing facility in a temperate climate where they detected six different anti-tank and anti-personnel mines. "Our results there were comparable to what we saw in the lab, which was very significant. That was a big hurdle for us," Scott says.
Field tests at government facilities give the researchers greater credibility because conditions are more realistic, and they can compare results to data from other research teams. What's more, the mines at government test sites have been buried for several years, which complicates detection.
"It's much easier to detect a mine that's been buried recently because you've disturbed the soil," says George McCall, a senior research engineer in the Georgia Tech Research Institute's Electro-Optics, Environment and Materials Laboratory. "After a land mine has been in the ground for a while, the soil becomes weathered and more compact. This makes it harder to find, so it's a better test for our detection system."
In February 2003, the researchers traveled to another government testing facility where the ground was frozen. This test broadened the scope of environmental conditions under which the mine detection system had been used.
Testing in a variety of sites is important because different environmental conditions affect how far and how fast seismic waves travel through the earth. That, in turn, affects how waves interact with buried mines and what kind of signal processing is required to image the mines.
The field tests have also given the researchers a chance to develop another aspect of the seismic mine detector -- an audio representation of buried mines.
"When the system passes over a mine, you hear a resonance that's easy to distinguish from the incident signal - it's a hollow sound like what you hear when you tap on a wall to find a stud," Scott explains, adding that the operator would listen to this resonance via a headset, or the unit would have a speaker. "In some cases, this audio representation was clearer than the visual representation."
Because of this discovery, Georgia Tech will collaborate with CyTerra Corp. to evaluate the feasibility of incorporating the Georgia Tech seismic sensor into a handheld mine detector the company is producing for the U.S. Army.
CyTerra's current handheld system combines a metal detector with ground-penetrating radar. "Integrating the capability that Georgia Tech has developed to acoustically measure vibrations will give us a triple-sensor device that should increase our ability to detect mines and reduce false alarms," says William Steinway, executive vice president of CyTerra Corp. based in Waltham, Mass.
"No single sensor has proven capable of detecting mines well with acceptable false alarms in all environmental conditions," Scott says, noting that what works best in a given situation depends on the type of mine and where it's buried. "A fusion of multiple sensors will most likely be necessary to get good performance in all conditions. Our seismic sensor is ideal to fuse with other types of sensors like GPRs and metal detectors."
In June 2003, researchers conducted their eighth field test, traveling to Skidaway Island, Ga. This was the team's third visit to Skidaway, and data derived from this field test was consistent with earlier measurements -- an encouraging result.
Even more important, researchers were able to test techniques for making the mine-detection system faster:
- Shortening the acoustical signal. In laboratory tests, researchers had been using a four-second signal to displace the soil. "If you put more sound into the ground, the sound has more interaction with the mine. Yet you pay a penalty because it takes longer to measure," McCall explains. As field tests began, researchers encountered less background noise than they had in the lab, which enabled them to send a shorter signal. At Skidaway, researchers reduced the acoustical signal to one-sixteenth of a second and were still able to detect mines.
- Continuous scanning. With their current prototype system, researchers send a wave, take a measurement, then move the system 2 centimeters and repeat the process - a laborious task when measuring a square meter. At Skidaway, the researchers attempted to scan continuously, which accelerated the measuring process dramatically (by nearly 25 times) and still yielded good data.
"The positioner we used was never intended to do this, so with different hardware we should be able to get better results," says James S. Martin, a senior research engineer from Georgia Tech's School of Mechanical Engineering. "Even so, this was much better than the snail's pace at which we had been working."
Two radar sensors have been used in the current system to demonstrate that interactions between multiple sensors are not problematic. But adding more sensors would make the system faster. "Anytime you increase the number of sensors you're using, you can decrease the measurement time," says Gregg Larson, another School of Mechanical Engineering researcher on the project.
Bottom line, researchers say the time required to measure a square meter can be sliced from several hours to less than a minute. Faster measurements are crucial as the team develops a prototype for more extensive field tests.
"We need to measure larger areas and gather more information about different mines, soil properties and environmental conditions," Scott says, noting that data helps the researchers improve their numerical models and signal-processing algorithms.
"Testing in different soil properties is important because the soil's complicated structure makes it to difficult to detect mines. You can't just look up the soil parameters we need in a book," he adds.

On my shelves is a book by Cornelius Plantinga entitled Not the Way It's Supposed to Be: a Breviary of Sin. Plantinga observes that people of our day don't like to talk about sin. We talk about problems, about maladjustments, about mistakes and weaknesses, but sin -- that's language that doesn't flow easily across our lips. "Where sin is concerned," writes Plantinga, "people mumble now."
Yet we see it on every hand. There is an Earl Jones who soft-talks hundreds of investors out of millions of their retirement savings while portraying himself as a friend. Public figures who make claims about issues they know to be untrue. Someone who walks into the house across the street and steals a purse off the counter while the owner is in her basement. Casinos that draw large crowds into their facilities with the clear knowledge that many of these will be gambling away money needed to meet family expenses.
In family settings, at workplaces, in bars and on the street, someone abuses someone else sexually. Many in positions of power or wealth underpay workers knowing full well they cannot live on their wages. Many will carelessly abuse and despoil the environment.
Plantinga quotes a famous Wall Street Journal editorial of the 1990s, which said, "The United States has a drug problem and a high school sex problem and a welfare problem and an AIDS problem and a rape problem. None of this will go away until more people in positions of responsibility are willing to come forward and explain, in frankly moral terms, that some of the things people do nowadays are wrong." The editorialist could have been writing about Canada.
This Easter weekend we have arrived at the end of the season of Lent, we've mourned the suffering and death of Jesus on the cross on Good Friday, and now we celebrate the message of an empty tomb on Easter Sunday. Lent and Easter bring together two important themes, themes both of repentance and hope. Isn't this a message we need?
Many Christians will be reminding themselves this weekend that both individually and corporately we need to rediscover what it means to repent of our wrongdoing. And just as importantly, Easter will affirm to them that a new life is truly possible, with the resurrection offering the basis for the hope that such a life can be theirs.
Easter represents a host of paradoxes. It is the Christian affirmation that God exists and loved the world so much he would die for it. He would allow his own creation to humiliate and brutalize Jesus to death on a cross outside the walls of Jerusalem. Yet this death would become God's means of reconciling his creation to himself. That death would not be the end. Instead, it became the prelude to something new and promising, rooted in claims that Jesus had been raised bodily from the dead. It was an extraordinary claim, yet embraced ultimately by his immediate followers and countless millions afterward.
The very first sermon reported by a New Testament writer some weeks after the events of Easter was preached by the Apostle Peter to a huge crowd in Jerusalem. He concluded his address with these words: "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins." Jesus' death and resurrection were understood as a way of addressing our sinfulness. They was meant to remove the barriers that our sins created between God and us.
Of all people, Christians should be the ones most aware of their capacity to sin and need for repentance. Too often, that has not been the case. This Easter, many Roman Catholics will be attending services with a sense of grief for the sins of sexual abuse that have occurred within the walls of the church's institutions. All of us have times and places where we know we might repent. We know the harms done to Canada's aboriginal people. We know the places where workers are still exploited. We know when we've given dishonest value for a payment. We know when we've taken advantage unjustly of someone else. We know where our selfishness and pride have cause pain to others. Every sin begs for repentance.
To repent literally means to change one's mind. It means to begin to see our actions in another light and to grieve it. It means to turn away from it. As a Catholic meditation puts it, "This change of mind necessarily entails a profound interior conversion in which we firmly turn from a worldly darkness and embrace a new way of life as Christ's disciples. It is a union of heart, mind and soul to the Person of Christ."
It is to be so moved by God's love for a broken humanity that we begin to see ourselves and our behaviour in an entirely new light. It is identification with the suffering and risen Christ.
To live in a world such as ours means being aware as perhaps never before of the many ways in which our actions can affect others, for good or for ill. They can be others very close to us or they may be far off in a Haiti or Chile or Cameroon or Afghanistan. Each of us has the capacity to do good or evil. Some choices are not easily discerned. Nor are our motives always clear, even to ourselves.
But where a willingness to repent our sins is present, light appears upon our way. We are placed upon a path that leads to increasing clarity about the good. It is a path accompanied and empowered by the risen Christ.

Welcome, today is
If you are Scottish, of Scottish descent, or you just like kilts and
bagpipes, you are invited to join The Scottish Society of Dallas. We
generally meet on the third Sunday of the month, September through
May. The June meeting is on the fourth Sunday, because Fathers Day is
the third. Check the
meeting schedule page to be sure and/or feel free to
Send Email
to the webmaster for further information. There are no meetings in
July or August -- it's an excellent time to visit Scotland!
Our next
is Sunday, September 17, 2017 at 2pm.
Enjoy the rest of your summer and we'll see you in September, ready to kick-off
another year filled with monthly meetings, festivals and special activities!
Oct. 14, we'll set up our "tent" at the
Plano International Festival
and the weekend
of Nov. 9-11, we'll be at the
Gathering of the Clans and Highland Games
down in Salado, Texas - on I-35, south of Temple & Belton and north of Austin
& Round Rock.
Now in our 54th year of operation, The Scottish Society of Dallas was organized at the
Salado Gathering of the Clans, in
Salado, TX in the fall of 1963. The original name was "Scottish
Clans of North Texas, in Dallas, Texas". The organizers were Jean
Luch, Bill Bell, Bill McRight, and others. Early meetings were held at
the Luby's Cafeteria in Preston Center until being moved to the
Garland Women's Activities Building,
where we still meet today. Over the years the Society has supported the Dallas
Highland Games held at Samuel Park, the International Bazaar at Dallas
City Hall, the Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games in Arlington,
and the State Fair of Texas.
The purpose of the Society is to share and further Scottish culture.
To that end, the Society sponsors an annual
St. Andrew's Dinner & Dance in late November or
early December (to which the general public is cordially invited),
joining Scots the world over in recognition of St. Andrew, the patron
saint of Scotland. Other Society
activities involve participation in the North Texas
Irish Fest at Fair Park (March), the Texas Scottish Festival and Highland
Games in Arlington (May), the Plano International Fest (October) and
finally the Gathering of the Clans and Highland Games in Salado (November).
Click here for additional information on these and
other Society activities/events.
In addition to the regularly scheduled activities listed above, we participate in
multi-cultural events for schools, civic organizations, retirement centers and the
like. We can bring a contingent of members (with the gents attired in kilts, of
course) to your organization's meeting or event to simply represent Scotland or we
can present a more formal program about Scotland. We can talk about Scottish culture
and history or the impact of Scottish immigrants on North Texas; on our state as a
whole; and our nation. When arrangements are made far enough in advance, our program
can include demonstrations of traditional Highland dances, courtesy of the
Dallas Highland Dancers.
If you'd like us to participate in your event, send us an
and let us know what you have planned and/or what you'd like to accomplish
with your program.

Jefferson's design for the Lawn makes it clear he intended faculty to be more than just teachers, but mentors and role models, too. The Mead Endowment — and the newly created Kinnier Award under the auspices of the Mead Endowment — celebrates those faculty members who best fulfill this ideal. It provides them modest funding to find yet another occasion to work closely with students outside the classroom.
Dana Elzey, associate professor of materials science and engineering and director of the Rodman Scholars Program, is the first recipient of the Kinnier Award. "Dana helps students understand the power of engineering to change the world as well as to change the way they think about the world," says Engineering School Dean James H. Aylor. "He's also strongly believes that students learn best through doing."
The project Elzey developed with his Kinnier Award funding illustrates this approach perfectly. One of the goals of the program is to give students who are considering a career as an engineering school professor the opportunity to develop an engineering class and teach it. He plans to recruit a small group of interested third-year engineering students and host a series of dinner seminars to expose them, as he says, "to the inner workings of the teaching profession."
One method is to invite colleagues to talk over dinner about their motivations for becoming professors and their experiences as faculty members. "It's important that our students begin to see faculty as people and to imagine living their lives," Elzey says.
But as is typical for Elzey, he moves beyond empathy to experience, challenging students to develop an introduction to engineering presentation for 11th graders. Students will be asked to approach the challenge as they would a design project: setting goals and delivering a program that best meets their requirements. "There are a million ways of doing this," Elzey says. "Their goal is to find the idea that has the highest probability of success."
Elzey's Kinnier Award program serves another goal: raising the profile of engineering in high schools and expanding the pool of potential engineers to students who have strengths beyond math and science. "As an engineer, you have to know your math and science," he says, "but you also need to be able to manage and organize a project, place it in the larger context and communicate your decisions clearly. I see the Kinnier Award as an occasion to make engineering a consideration for a broader selection of students."
The Mead Endowment honors Ernest "Boots" Mead, a professor of music for over 40 years. After he retired in 1996, a group of former students pooled their resources to create an endowment in his name. This year, Mead Advisory Board members Michael Lennox, Scott Stephenson (ME '79), Ruth Haile (CE '79) and John Anderson (ME '78) created a special award honoring the late Henry Kinnier (CE '42). Kinnier was known for his kind and helpful guidance to generations of engineering students.

Rocky setting not right for a precious Kewell

The Socceroos are likely to be without Harry Kewell for Saturday's "hostile" opening leg Confederations Cup qualifier against the Solomon Islands in Honiara, officials confirmed yesterday.
Kewell is to have a fitness test on a lingering groin injury today but Australia is reluctant to risk the Liverpool star on the bumpy Lawson Tana Stadium surface.
It is felt he might be better kept in cotton wool for the return leg at Sydney's Aussie Stadium and the decision whether to play may be left in his hands.
Kewell has been receiving eight hours of physiotherapy a day on his groin since arriving in Brisbane on Tuesday and was a notable absentee from the team's afternoon training session at Suncorp Stadium.
Roommate Lucas Neill said Kewell was desperate to play some role in the two matches which will decide the eighth and final place in next June's Confederations Cup tournament in Germany.
"He's been getting some intensive treatment at the moment," Neill said before training. "He definitely wants to be fit for the first one but if not he'll definitely be right for the second."
Kewell, fellow forward John Aloisi (cork thigh) and Tony Popovic, who was due to arrive from England overnight, were the only players of the 20-man squad to miss training.
The Socceroos fly out for Honiara tonight, putting jet-lagged defender Popovic also in doubt for the opener after his rushed trek following Crystal Palace's 2-0 win over Fulham.
Frank Farina's men have been briefed on security issues on the islands in the wake of the recent end to a three-year civil war in the Solomons and the Australian armed forces' peacekeeping efforts.
Neill said the Socceroos had to expect a difficult opener despite the Solomons' lowly world ranking of 126.
"We'll probably get a very bumpy pitch, a very uncertain pitch (and) obviously a hostile crowd," he said.
"There's a bit of history with Australian soldiers being in the Solomon Islands not long ago. That might add to things.
"That's the way they might want it for us, just to make it as uncomfortable as possible."
Farina is yet to decide upon his captain but goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer is likely to wear the arm-band in the absence of the injured Craig Moore.
Schwarzer said the Socceroos would not risk a repeat of the 2003 Confederations qualifying failure against New Zealand by underestimating the Solomons.
Entry into the tournament alongside Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Mexico, Tunisia, Japan and Greece doubles as crucial preparation for a 2006 World Cup finals tilt.
"The Confederations Cup is the only major tournament apart from the World Cup that we can qualify for and play against world-class opposition," Schwarzer said.
"The game's of massive, massive importance."

Technical Abstract: Field diagnosis of MD based upon gross and histological examinations can sometimes be problematic. Previously, we described a PCR assay to detect MDV sequences. To determine whether the PCR assay correlates exactly with the appearance of MD lesions, 1-day-old 151**5x7**1 chickens were inoculated intra-abdominally with 10**3 PFU of JM/102 virus. At various intervals, birds were sacrificed and examined grossly for lesions. Tissues were also harvested for histological analysis. DNA extracted from the tissues was PCR amplified with primers specific for either the gB gene or the 132 bp repeats in the serotype 1 MDV genome. Results indicated that the buffy coat became PCR positive by 5 days and remained positive at least through 29 days. Both thymus and bursa contained the virus at 5 days as well. Except for the liver, all tested tissues from 14 days on generally contained the MDV genome. Histological lesions first appeared at 14 days post-inoculation in the gonads, kidney, liver, and peripheral nerves. In general, there was good correlation between the appearance of lesions and a positive PCR amplification. However, the less than 100% correlation suggests workers should be cautious in solely relying upon PCR to diagnose MD.

"The most important thing, is the quality of the relationship between the members of the couple, not whether they are married or not," said Claude Martin, a sociologist who is a professor at the Institute of Political Science in Rennes, France.
"In France there is very little difference between being married and cohabitating, and very little difference between children born out of wedlock and those that are born within marriage."
Even as governments set new policies to cope with altered lifestyles, public figures in a number of countries are serving as examples themselves.
In Ireland, the Prime Minister, Bertie Ahern, has been with his companion, Celia Larkin, the de facto first lady, for a number of years even though he is not officially divorced from his wife, the mother of his children.
In Norway, Marit Arnstad, an unmarried member of Parliament, became pregnant while she served as the country's oil minister, and is now raising her son on her own.

A GREENOCK author is preparing to see her novel played out on big screens across the world after it was picked up by international movie producers.
Film giants 20th Century Fox are behind the adaptation of Cathy MacPhail's Inverclyde-set book Another Me.
Acclaimed director Isabel Coixet was a fan of the novel and developed a screen play, recruiting top actors including Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Rhys Ifans to play the characters.
Now the first phase of filming for the psychological thriller, called Panda Eyes, has been completed in Cardiff and is set to move to Spanish city Barcelona in the New Year. Award-winning writer Cathy, who is involved in the film as an executive producer, said she is overjoyed with it and can't wait for it to be released.
She told the Telegraph: "I am absolutely delighted. This is a massive achievement." The main character is played by actress Sophie Turner who stars in American drama Game of Thrones and the film also stars Gregg Sulkin and Clara Forlani, who starred in Meet Joe Black alongside Brad Pitt.
Cathy, who has met the stars and travelled to Cardiff to watch filming, said: "Another Me started out as a short story and became a novel. It is a creepy tale about a girl who is haunted by her doppelganger.
"The novel is set in Greenock, as are most of my books, and the steps which run from Dempster Street to Prospecthill Street play a big part.
"I used to walk to school and work on these steps and in the book they are thick with fog, which adds to the atmosphere." Although the book is set in Greenock, no filming has taken place here and the foggy steps have been replaced with a spooky underpass in Wales.
Cathy, who has written 45 books, added: "There are some changes but not that many.
"I have been involved all along the way.
"They have also developed a character called Mrs MacPhail, after me, which I though was really great.
"No location is mentioned in the film and Jonathan Rhys Meyers speaks in his Irish accent.
"I am happy with this, although I would have loved to see it filmed in Greenock." Panda Eyes, which takes it's name from a specific scene in the film, will debut at the Toronto Film Festival in September next year. It will then be released in cinemas across the world.
