King Lear
Have more than thou showest;
Speak less than thou knowest;
Lend less than thou owest.
The aging King of Britain, Lear, decides to divide his kingdom between his three daughters: Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia. When Cordelia, who loves her father dearly, refuses to pander to him with a public declaration of her love, she is disinherited and banished to marry the King of France without a dowry. The Earl of Kent is also banished after trying to defend Cordelia. Goneril, Regan, and their husbands inherit the entire kingdom.
Meanwhile, the earl of Gloucester is being tricked by his bastard son, Edmund, who attempts to turn his father against Edgar, Gloucester 's other son. Persuaded by Edmund, Gloucester disinherits Edgar, who then goes into hiding.
King Lear begins to understand the selfish nature of his remaining daughters' love, and rages against a stormy night, accompanied only by his Fool and the Earl of Kent (in disguise). They are joined by Edgar, also in disguise.
Gloucester is betrayed by Edmund after helping Lear escape to reunite with Cordelia and the French King in Dover. He is then captured by Regan and her husband Cornwall, who puts out Gloucester 's eyes before being killed himself. The blinded Gloucester does not recognize Edgar when they meet again, but Edgar leads him to Dover as well. Lear and Cordelia reconcile, but their happy reunion does not last as the other sisters' forces capture them all.
The widowed Regan and disillusioned Goneril are both romantically interested in the treacherous Edmund. Edmund orders that Cordelia and Lear be hanged, and then encounters his brother Edgar, who mortally wounds him in a duel. Regan and Goneril also die—Goneril killed her sister to secure Edmund for herself, but then killed herself after learning of her love's fatal injury. Edmund, seeing his world crumble, reveals his devious plot before dying—including the orders to kill Lear and Cordelia. But his repentance is worthless, as Lear enters with the body of Cordelia. Lear himself dies of grief.

The fear that the maps would be worth more to the enemy than his life was stronger than the fear he felt on the Normandy beaches.
The 24-year-old was a liaison officer under Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsay, Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Naval Forces, and on the day worked with the RAF to notify shipping of impending air raids.
We sailed on 4 June and by nightfall on 5 June we were off the Isle of Wight. We sailed across overnight and arrived [off the French coast] at about 0600.
At the point when the BBC made the announcement of the landings we were anchored about five miles off Omaha beach.
Our job was made more difficult because we had no beach marshals. They had been killed in the fateful exercise at Slapton Sands shortly before the D-Day landings.
On D-Day we gave a brief outline to the paratroopers and glider people, but I did not know at this time that all the beach marshals were dead.
For this reason I was given the name 'Optimistic Englishman'.
Looking at the way things turned out I think they were right - many didn't last the day - but I'm glad they didn't tell us what had happened at Slapton.
So there was no guidance for the landing and for that reason I was put on a sand bank.
The water got deeper as we went in shore, until it came over the bonnet of the vehicle we were in.
When the engine stopped we had to bail out over the windscreen onto the bonnet.
It was there that the driver of the vehicle we were in, an RAF vehicle, told me he couldn't swim so
I told him this was a very good time to learn.
I had on me a bag of my own belongings and a bag with the secret codes in it, which I had been told to guard with my life.
So when the driver said to me he couldn't swim I was torn between looking after him and looking after the bags.
But I chose him, and I lost everything I had, but was still one of the first to get onto the beach.
I had joined up in 1939, and trained as an observer in Fleet Air arms before flying Swordfish aircraft from HMS Ark Royal, so I was very experienced by the time D-Day came around.
For this reason perhaps I didn't feel fear on D-Day. We were busy training and it was work to us - that's what I was there to do.
The greatest fear I had was the day I was given the information about Overlord.
The officer who had briefed me rolled up a chart with all the beach heads marked on it and the times of the tides and when everything would take place.
He put it under my arm and said "Keep it there - it'll be safer there than trying to hide it."
I knew I had information the Germans would have killed for and that was fear for me when I left the office - there was nothing to match it on D-Day.
When we went ashore on Omaha, a lot of our equipment was ruined, and we had to wait eight to 10 days for new equipment to be sent to us.
On D-Day I slept on a table and used my helmet as a pillow - not very comfortable - but by 7 June I was in luxury because the Americans sent some sleeping equipment and we were given a tent!
Then they announced the Germans had pulled out of Bayeux and so I got on my motorcycle and went there. I think I might have been the first Allied troop to arrive, so I celebrated by having a coffee and buying a postcard that I still have.
There's no question that D-Day was well worth it.
But I think it's quite a good thing that the German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder is coming to the commemorations this year.
Are we going to harbour a grudge ad infinitum? The closer we can get to one another the better.

'Toughest sheriff' Arpaio of Arizona and actor Seagal to train posse to defend schools
PHOENIX — The self-proclaimed "America's Toughest Sheriff" is joining forces this weekend with action movie star Steven Seagal to train volunteer armed posse members to defend Phoenix-area schools against gunmen.
Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio announced the controversial plan in the wake of the December Newtown, Conn., school shooting that left 27 people dead, including the gunman and 20 first-graders.
The exercise is planned for Saturday at a closed school site in suburban Fountain Hills outside Phoenix where sheriff's SWAT members will act as shooters and 25 teenagers will play the part of students during mock scenarios involving up to three gunmen.
Seagal, best known for his roles in movies such as "Above the Law" and "Under Siege," will lead training in hand-to-hand defense tactics and other techniques, drawing from his expertise in martial arts, according to a sheriff's office news release.
When criticized by some in January about the school posse plan, Arpaio snapped back: "Why would people complain about my posse being in front of schools to act as prevention?"
He announced the plan on the grounds of an elementary school, saying at the time that he wanted the patrols publicized.
"I want everyone to know about it for the deterrence effect," Arpaio said, adding that no taxpayer money would be spent on the patrols.

- It seems that we're not the only ones interested in purging Siveria of the undead. The Molotov family recently approached me with an unusual request.
- Many scouts and mercenaries working for the merchants have been killed in this area. It got to the point that even the most desperate soldiers of fortune refused to work with the family.
- The executioners are to blame. They are a special type of undead that is incredibly dangerous and very hard to find. :They attack suddenly and violently from under the snow and after they've killed their victim, they go back into the snow to hide, waiting for a new mark.
- The Molotovs have figured out how to find these executioners. They've sent me a vessel containing the soul of a fallen mercenary. If you take this vessel out to the battlefield and release the soul, it will lead you to its killer, and then it's your job to execute the executioner!
The men were killed just to the south of here. The Molotov family has marked off the area.
Kill 5 Rancid Zombies and report back to Georgi Vityazev.
- It seems that the merchants are willing to do anything to clean up the filth of Siveria.
- I'll inform Molotovs that you have killed some, but the family won't rest until they're all dead. Come back tomorrow after we have received a new vessel.

A hidding cat
This cat is much cool.
This cat is much cool.
What is it with cats and blinds? It's like a narcotic, they HAVE to play with them in the wee hours of the morning and make the blinds scrape the sides of the wall and wake you up.
In other words, I live this shirt. So I therefore love this shirt.
I like cats, they taste like chicken...
How does one go about "hidding"? Stand up and hidd for me.

Space matters. Inner space, outer space, living space, worship space, green space, and personal space, it all matters. Ask anyone who's lived in high density housing, like the projects, just how much space matters. Watch the news for a wake-up call on how living space can mean the difference between a chance at healthy living, and a high probability of disease. But our living space isn't just about square footage in our home, the size of our yard, or the size of our office. As a matter of spiritual health, we also have to be attentive to our inner space, because that space governs so much of how we function in all the other spaces of daily life.
Have you ever had one of those days where you seem to lurch from crisis to crisis with barely enough time to get your balance in between? Days where you feel like you're living in the drama emporium? Or days where you've been firefighting all day, and still feel singed and breathless from all the smoke. Please don't think for one minute that you're alone by any means! Everyone goes through days like that from time to time. Having said that, if crisis mode is beginning to sound and feel like daily life, then it's time to clear some space on our schedules. We may well be overdue for an inner space refurbishment so that we're better equipped to deal with the other arenas of life, both large and small.
Perhaps the hardest part will be finding space on our calendars to make the necessary changes. The frenetic pace of most of our lives isn't showing any signs of slowing down. It's well known that in order to be motivated to embrace change, we have to be seriously uncomfortable with our current circumstances. As usual, the Lord is not a disinterested or distant observer of our lives. God desires to be involved in our decisions, and in every aspect of our lives. Even though we often resist, the Lord is proactive in helping us to become aware when change is necessary. Feeling dissatisfied with one or more aspects of life? That's one way that God tries to alert us, and maybe grab an instant or snapshot of focused attention out of our more usual scattered state of being. The invitation is to slow down or even stop; to simplify or scale down our packed agendas. It's one way that God frees us to listen more than we talk in prayer. It's also about being more intentional in recognizing God's signs of communication, and direction.
Being the go-getter, independent folks that most of us think we are, our innate response to feelings of dissatisfaction can run the gamut of anything and everything from prayer to seeking counseling; quick fixes from the plethora of available worldly diversions, to self-help books; from opting for a casual affair, to seeking a divorce; from taking up a new hobby, to looking for a new job. There are plenty of choices out there. It's often a real shocker to realize that God is in control, and we've been fooling ourselves on a grand scale. If you've traveled those roads, take time to ask the hard questions. Did the new job, spouse, car, or whatever actually do more than give you fleeting satisfaction? Did the self-help guide lead to meaningful, lasting and joyful changes in your life?
As children of God, we are dependent creatures. That doesn't mean we're God's puppets, or that we have no free will. The full spectrum of choices is still available to us, and experience is so often the best teacher. For those who seek God, our life in Christ teaches us that we make better choices with Him, than we do in and of ourselves. The good news is that through faith in Christ Jesus our inner space is constantly being renewed, and transforms us from the inside out. With God's help the transformation we experience in our inner space is made manifest in the world as tangible acts. Our faith in action makes our common space a better place to live, work, and play. The final frontier is God's growing space; God's transformation of the whole world for good. Everyone is welcome in this space.

U.S. District Court Judge Donald Molloy used 18 pages to write his decision on the appeal brought on by several conservation groups against congress in delisting the gray wolf. The wolf will remain delisted in Montana and Idaho. He was very thorough in his decision, but he pointed out areas where congress may have overstepped their power. "If I were not constrained by what I believe is binding precedent ... I would hold Section 1713 is unconstitutional because it violates the Separation of Powers doctrine," Molloy wrote "It is not the role of the judiciary to write the law," Molloy wrote. "In my view, the Ninth Circuit's deference to Congress threatens the Separation of Powers; nonspecific magic words should not sweep aside constitutional concerns."
In April, Montana Senator Tester and Idaho Rep. Simpson added a must pass appropriation removing the wolves from the endangered species list, they added that this would not be changeable under judicial review. More or less tying Molloy's hands to where he could not act. Tester was pleased with the decision though. "Returning Montana's wolves to Montana management was the right thing to do, and we did it in a responsible way with utmost respect to existing law and to our Constitution," Tester wrote. "Now that the court has agreed, it's time to move forward with Montana's wolf management plan for the sake of our livestock, our wildlife, and for better management of wolves themselves."
This isn't the end to the wolf controversy, Alliance for the Wild Rockies, Center for Biological Diversity and several other conservation groups are taking Interior Secretary Salazar to court over this change. These groups feel that Molloy did the best he could with what he had, and that he basically outlined what they have to do to change the wolves' listing. However they are unsure if they can get an appeal going before hunting season begins.
Idaho has no quota and their season is set to begin September 1st, and Montana's quota is 220 with a season to start October 22nd. From The Missouilian [2].

Men's Soccer Announces 2013 Spring Schedule
Feb. 12, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- After a highly successful 2012 campaign which included the first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 2003, the Kentucky men's soccer team will play a six-game spring schedule with the UK Soccer Complex hosting four matches, UK head coach Johan Cedergren announced on Tuesday.
The Wildcats will start the spring with a doubleheader on March 23, hosting Southern Indiana and Georgetown (Ky.) College. The first kick will start at 5:30 p.m. ET with the second match to follow after the break. Southern Indiana finished last year at 11-7 with a Great Lakes Valley Conference record of 9-5.

The Zips finished last year as a NCAA tournament team, and a national ranking of 7th by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America after compiling a mark of 18-1-3 as well as an undefeated MAC record of 7-0. The match is set to kick off at 3 p.m. in Akron, Ohio, on April, 6.
The Wildcats return from Akron to face the Lipscomb Bison on April 13 at 4 p.m. at the UK Soccer Complex. Lipscomb comes to Lexington after a 7-12-1 record in 2012 and an Atlantic Sun record of 3-4-1.

Should these beautiful trails be turned into skid roads?
Does the State of Idaho have its priorities straight when it comes to managing the forest in Farragut State Park?
See Heyburn State Park pictures below and make up your own mind.
This trail in Farragut State Park near the shoreline will look like the ones below at Heyburn State Park if IDF&G is allowed to log the shoreline forest.
This is the future of Farragut's shoreline Forest if we don't stop them.

I hope they save it because the idiot city council in Tustin wants to demolish the south hangar on their former base.

At first observation the hangar may well look like an eyesore. However, if you take the time to research it and discover the history and the amazing structure you might grow to appreciate why there is so much support for saving this amazing building.

Jane is correct the hangar has great historic importance to aviation and the community. As a former photographer for NASA I did many photos inside the hangar and on top of it! What a view from the top during airshows! But you cant help but be awed when you are on the inside it is just enormous! Keep at it folks we can save this piece of history yet!

Yes, Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is back! In 3D! It opened last weekend and is playing at the Criterion. This abysmal movie ruined Star Wars for me back in 1999 — and now it can happen all over again! Get some tix.

Sydney Airport reported a surge in passenger traffic in October as the domestic capacity battle between Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin Australia and Tiger spurred domestic travel. Domestic passenger numbers rose 7.9 per cent in the month while international traffic rose 3.5 per cent on the back of growth from low-cost Asian carriers Scoot and AirAsia X and Qantas' capacity increases to Dallas and Hong Kong. Total growth for October was 6.4 per cent compared to a 3.1 per cent increase in the financial year to date. Andrew Cleary
Engineering and construction firm Monadelphous Group has forecast a 40 per cent year-on-year increase in first-half revenue and a 25 per cent increase in full-year revenue. But the company has warned of margin pressure as resources companies and other clients focus more intently on cost reduction. Luke Forrestal
China's Chengdu Tianqi Industry Group has emerged with a rival $C806 million ($777 million) takeover proposal for West Australian lithium miner Talison Lithium. The non-binding, conditional proposal comes after Talison agreed to a $C724 million takeover by specialty chemicals producer Rockwood Holdings. The Talison board has not yet determined whether the Chengdu proposal can be defined as "superior" under its agreement with Rockwood.

Hochtief, Leighton Holdings' largest shareholder, is preparing to cut 700 jobs, according to German news reports. The cuts come as Hochtief and Leighton's ultimate parent, Spanish construction group ACS, prepares to replace Hochtief executive chairman Frank Stieler with its own executive, Marcelino Fernandez Verdes.

Doing business in Japan information
by Venture Japan
In the previous section on Japan recruitment and performance related salary, I suggested salary structures that could reduce your fixed recruitment costs by 30% or more. Now lets take a look at controlling your Japanese subsidiary company's other business expenses, starting with entertainment.
Business entertainment has traditionally been a major expense for Japanese companies, partly because corporate and personal income tax rates were over 60% (much more for high income individuals) but 100% of business entertainment expenses were legitimately tax deductible. The business expense account naturally became a cheap way for companies to add tax-free benefits to executives and managers.
Even in 2004, and unlike the USA and Europe, Japan still allows 80% or more of business entertainment expenses to be deducted from pre-tax corporate income. The definition of 'allowable business entertainment expense' is very vague, but includes the infamous Japanese 'ryoushushou' which is a deliberately vague hand-written receipt showing the total amount paid (but no details) and generically used by restaurants, stores, bars, hostess clubs (where Japanese men pay from US$500 - US$1,500 per person to sit drinking with glamorous young women into the small hours) and worse. In every market you deal in, it is to some extent traditional (although many government and corporate codes of practice now make it illegal and tax laws make it expensive) to wine and dine customers in the hope of improving the level of business you do with them. The difference in Japan is that business entertainment has become almost a corporate institution and many very expensive restaurants (and 90% of the hostess clubs and other private 'clubs') in the more fashionable areas of major cities, earn the majority of their income from business entertainment.
Recent corporate income tax reductions and the gradual reduction in the percentage of business entertainment expenses deductible from pre-tax income, has substantially increased the cost of business entertainment. It is also widely accepted that a substantial percentage of Japanese business entertainment is not the entertainment of legitimate customers (even though it is reported as such) but often the result of managers entertaining friends and colleagues. Those factors, combined with the effects of the 1990s recession on corporate profits and social concern at the increase in alcoholism in Japan, has prompted many of Japan's largest companies to impose strict internal rules on allowable business entertainment. If you want to survive doing business in Japan then you should follow those companies' example and have a written policy regarding just who in your subsidiary is authorized to incur entertainment expense, with whom and when.
One of those infamous myths of the Japanese market dictates that "..you must entertain customers if you want to succeed doing business in Japan..". Agreed you will need to entertain certain Japanese customers, but before allowing that myth to foster a carte blanche 'anything goes' attitude to Japanese business entertainment expenses, you may want to consider that:

Centre Profile
Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre Mission: Maximising independence and optimising lifestyle through rehabilitation.
Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre is a campus of Royal Adelaide Hospital. It is a 150-bed facility which provides clinical rehabilitation services for people suffering from traumatic brain injury, stroke, other neurological and medical disorders, spinal cord injury, orthopaedic conditions and amputations.
The facility is situated in spacious garden surroundings in the suburb of Northfield, 10 kilometres north-east of the Adelaide city centre.
Rehabilitation is a process of restoring function through re-learning lost abilities or finding new ways of doing everyday activities to maximise lifestyle. Rehabilitation is very different from being treated in an acute hospital care setting. In all areas trained allied health, medical and nursing staff work with clients, clients families and friends, and others, to design and implement rehabilitation programs using an integrated team approach.
The major focus of the inpatient units is to provide highly specialised physical rehabilitation programs for clients with disabilities arising from medical and age related illness, orthopaedic injury and amputation, stroke, neurological illness, spinal cord and brain injury. A range of inpatient and outpatient services support these programs.
The Centre for Physical Activity in Ageing has a comprehensively equipped gymnasium available to exercise rehabilitation and health promotion client's. A well-equipped exercise laboratory facilitates the conduct of fitness testing within rehabilitation and research programs. Client's with disabilities and physical limitations are well accommodated through modification of existing equipment items and programs. Water based programs are conducted in the hydrotherapy pool. The Centre for Physical Activity in ageing also conducts various off campus programs which utilise the facilities of different community groups/organisations.

Reviews for Double Chocolate Cookies
Average Rating
"Perfect again!!!!!!!!"
"Excellent cookies! Lots of chocolatey goodness! Much better than expected!!!!!!!!!"
"They were DELICIOUS! You should REALLY try these. I never ever ever use salt when I bake so I would suggest that you leave out the salt. I just made these for fun to see what they would turn out like and it REALLY worked out! Follow the instructions directly (except leave out the salt like I said before.) I think you are going to LOVE these. Trust me. I ate like a million of those!"
"Delicious! I used all whole wheat flour (scooped and levelled) and they turned out great."
"These cookies are so good! The batter is really stiff - made me wish I had a KitchenAid, but worth the extra muscle required!"
"Bonist, I think the cocoa is what made these!!! Mine were perfect"
"Very good rich and easy to make"
"These are the best cookies ever! I first found them in the Cookies & Bars Book from 2010, and have made them so many times since. They go FAST and are my most requested recipe. The only recommendation I have is to add just a little more vanilla and they are perfect. Don't let the thick consistency scare you; they will be great."

The only recommendation I have is to add just a little more vanilla and they are perfect. Don't let the thick consistence scare you; they will be great."
"Also I did not put 3/4 cups of coco powder in it that seemed like too much so I put and 1/8 cup then a half of1/8 cup they still turned out great"
"These were really good cookies!! Both of my little brothers help me make it! We always want seconds of the dough. Ten minuets is perfect for a nice chewy cookie"
"These cookies were so flat they were transparent. I did not have cocoa on hand so I subsituted 1/2 cup flour to maintain the consistancy. After the first batch cooked and were SO delicate I added another 1/2 cup of flour and let my dough chill for an hour. They were still flat! Now that I have researched this phenomenon I would recommend NOT softening your butter but break it apart with your fingers to separate. Add at least 1 more tsp baking soda. Don't over beat/mix your butter and sugar mixture; leave some lumps. Chill your dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Hope this helps. I also subsituted 1 cup white chocolate chips and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. Overall they made good chewy-inside, crispy-outside, paper cookies."
"This recipe is very good! I added white chocolate and macadamia nuts. I baked them for 14 min. Originally, they were too raw and chewy for my taste. But they were still very good if you like the chewy type of cookies. I will definitely make these again!"

How the protagonists shape up
Page Tools
Win or lose, the PM is certain to leave an indelible imprint on the nation, writes Michelle Grattan.
Either way, October 9 will be John Howard's last electoral hurrah. He wins, then retires undefeated during his fourth term, or he quits immediately after a loss. The result will determine how history sees him.
If he takes his party to victory, his reputation will be cemented as the second-greatest Liberal leader since Menzies, an accolade that Peter Costello has already bestowed on him.
A defeat would see the political obituaries accentuate Howard's faults, diminish his achievements and slate his judgement in staying on after he'd indicated he would probably retire when he was 64. All that's for the future. As they go into the campaign, Coalition colleagues believe Howard is their best bet. Three wins have given them strong faith in his strategic and tactical skills.
As happened in 2001, Howard has progressively clawed back through this year. He was not as badly placed at the start of 2004 as he was at the beginning of 2001; on the other hand, nor is he as well positioned now as he was going into the campaign three years ago. He had the measure of Kim Beazley; Mark Latham, younger and more unpredictable, has been trickier for Howard to get a fix on.
Howard is best when he's in a tough fight. As a campaigner he repeats certain well-tried approaches but he is also flexible. He's focused and disciplined, and usually makes a minimum of mistakes.
This year, as in 2001, he used the budget as his big early strike weapon, firing off largesse to big sections of the electorate. He knows people also want "the vision thing": hence his focus on initiatives for the next 10 years.
Howard is not a pawn of pollsters or advisers - he has too much independent judgement for that. But he is not so egotistical as to think he knows everything, although he's seen more election campaigns than those around him. He's responsive to advice, and uses polling to effect; pollster Mark Textor is one of the right-hand men in the campaign.
Howard has always had lashings of 'values' in his politics: they attract supporters and often appal his critics.
Good on the hustings and with loads of energy, despite his 65 years, Howard complements his campaigning skills with a steely nerve. He hasn't ever run a bad campaign: even the one he lost, as opposition leader in 1987, was gutsy and well fought, despite starting with a disastrous funding hole in the Liberals' tax policy.
There is about Howard an element of "whatever it takes". He swears to this day he didn't know he was perpetrating a lie in his "children overboard" claims of 2001, but he ruthlessly used the issue, which has now resurfaced to his disadvantage.
The years in office have given Howard a lot of confidence, but the months of facing Latham haave been a roller coaster. For a while, with Latham commanding the power of the new and different, Howard looked a sitting duck, if not already a dead one. Then his opponent seemed to lose his invincibility and Howard was back in the game. Recently, Howard has been on the defensive again.
The man who faces the people in six weeks' time has changed little in his values and political ideology from the aspirant who unsuccessfully faced Bob Hawke in 1987. He had become an economic rationalist well before then, strongly committed to freeing up the labour market and overhauling the tax system. In the 1980s he was an intellectual leader in the industrial relations debate.
After the Hewson Fightback! disaster of 1993, Howard ran a softly softly campaign in 1996. He embraced the popular Medicare (which he had earlier derided), promised he'd "never ever" bring in a GST, and played down the harder edge of some other policies. In government, however, it was back to a reform script. The Coalition overhauled the industrial relations system to promote individual bargaining, shook up the waterfront in a massive, divisive confrontation, and brought in the GST, after winning a mandate for it in 1998.
Latham is talked about as the "values" politician, but Howard has always had lashings of "values" in his politics: they attract supporters and often appal his critics. He's tilted constantly at what he sees as "political correctness", fought the culture wars, vetted appointments on political criteria, and tied school funding to the practice of patriotism. His thinking has evolved since he issued a manifesto with a white picket fence on the cover. The family with the picket fence lives a more modern life, but they are not gay, or clustered round a single parent.
One aspect of Howard that few would have predicted when he was treasurer in the 1970s and early '80s, or opposition leader, is that he would become an active and high-profile player internationally. Brought up at the height of the Cold War, he had an early interest in world affairs, but by the time he reached Parliament in 1974 that was subsumed. As PM, however, he got the taste for the international stage when Australia took the leading peacekeeping role in East Timor. Then the war against terrorism, and his close relationship with George Bush, catapulted Howard and Australia to high-profile (and risky) international activism.
At the 1998 election Howard took a knock because of the tax albatross, but Australian voters believe in giving governments a second go. By 2001 they were inclined for change, but Tampa and September 11 protected the Government. This time Howard must walk into a strong "it's time" wind, without the security issues being such a blanket for him. Going for him is that the Government can talk up his experience as a contrast to Latham, who's had little leadership experience, no time as a minister and is untried and provocative on international issues.
Some people wonder, if Howard won, why he would not stay another full term, taking the party into a fifth election. The answer is, he's not that silly. He would be aware that the party has to make a transition, and that to delay would invite rebellion. Anyone absorbing the lesson of Bob Hawke's 1990 win and his unceremonious dumping in late 1991 understands parties can be ungrateful even to their electoral heroes. And Howard would also know that if you stay there long enough, eventually your electoral luck will run out, no matter how good a campaigner you are. The question now is, can he make that luck hold for this time?
Latham, like Hawke, blends the intellectual with the larrikin, writes Michael Gordon.
If Mark Latham is triumphant on October 9, it is safe to assume the person who will get the biggest thank you in his victory speech will be Simon Crean, the man he succeeded.
It was Crean who took a punt on Latham when he recalled him to the front bench. It was Crean who subsequently promoted Latham at the risk of antagonising those who were destabilising his leadership.
Most importantly, it was Crean who secured Latham the leadership by convincing several Labor MPs to put aside their considerable reservations in the untried firebrand with a larrikin streak.
It took a giant leap of faith for the Labor caucus to choose Latham by the narrowest of margins over the liked, respected but twice beaten Kim Beazley.
Almost overnight, that faith was rewarded when Latham defied the dire predictions of those who agitated against him and struck a chord with the electorate by striking up a conversation about a ladder.
Latham's promise was to put the rungs back in "the ladder of opportunity". It resonated because it was based on his own story of overcoming the odds.
Here was a man who practised what he preached: who "got stuck into it", worked hard, made his own luck and aimed high.
The proof was in the polls, with Latham recording the highest approval levels since Bob Hawke, who toppled Malcolm Fraser in 1983 after succeeding Bill Hayden, another Labor leader whose colleagues doubted his ability to win.
The big difference was that the voters knew a lot more about Hawke in 1983 than they knew about Latham in December 2003, or even now. Despite an impressive CV - dux of a selective government school, champion schoolboy cricketer and rugby player, degree in economic and politics (with honours) at Sydney University, mayor of Liverpool and the patronage of Gough Whitlam - Latham had little profile outside NSW before he became leader.
While Hawke and Latham took very different paths to the Labor leadership - Hawke's destiny was obvious to almost everyone, Latham's to a select few - the two figures have some qualities in common.
Both managed to combine the personas of the intellectual and the larrikin. Both are economic rationalists (Hawke appealed to aspirational voters before Latham invented the description) but both are emotionally committed to Labor's traditional constituency, the worker.
When one of his biographers, Craig McGregor, asked Latham if there was not a strange contradiction between his intellectual and larrikin personas, he replied that this had always been the case.
"I remember my maths teacher at school saying to my mum, 'I can't understand your son, he tops the class, but he's down the back with the wags and the larrikins and trouble-makers, carrying on.'
"That's been said about me for 25 years, that's the way I am, and I'm not for changing it."
But if the fundamentals of the person are the same, Latham's story is also the story of one who has grown and adapted into new environments, whether the catalyst was the loss of his father, the fathering of two boys or the mantle of leadership.
After quitting Kim Beazley's front bench because his education policy was rewritten before the 2001 election, there were times when Latham seemed more like a one-man think tank than the member of a team. Moreover, his scathing criticisms of those who wanted a more compassionate policy on asylum seekers made many in the party unsympathetic to his cause.
Yet, when Crean gave him the opportunity to come back, he threw himself into the various roles he was given, was loyal when others were destabilising and won the respect of those who had harboured doubts.
After being elected leader by the most slender of margins, 47 votes to 45, Latham the larrikin pledged there would be "no more crudity". It is a promise he has kept. He also embraced a softer policy on those seeking asylum and focused on such issues as the need for parents to read to their young children.
John Robertson, from Labor for Refugees, clashed with Latham over refugee policy, but now says we are seeing "the real Mark Latham". "As leader, he's been exposed to something vastly different to what he was previously exposed to, and I think to a certain extent that's changed his perspective."
As the polls have tightened in recent weeks it has become clear that many voters who are drawn to his "new politics" remain open to persuasion.
As the respected social researcher Hugh Mackay noted in his mid-year Mind and Mood survey of the nation: "Mark Latham is an intriguing and attractive figure, but voters still seem unconvinced about him; they are not sure that they have the measure of the man and they are by no means confident that a change of government would be a change for the better."
Against a master tactician who is old enough to be his father (John Howard is 65, Latham, 43) Latham's challenge is to convince the electorate that he is experienced and capable enough to run the country.
That means answering the Howard charge he will be weak on the American alliance and on economic management and driving home Labor's advantage on such issues as health, education and the environment.
McGregor began a profile of Latham seven years ago with the words: "Ladeez and gentlemen, may I introduce to you, at 100 kilos and 188 cm, in the blue cardigan, white shirt and spiky hair, the heavyweight champion of the western suburbs and future leader."
He ends his book Australian Son, Inside Mark Latham by restating his conviction that Latham will become prime minister. But even if he loses, this time McGregor argues he has done the nation a service. "At least he has reintroduced to a nation that badly needs it the politics of hope."


text: Google today officially announced its new music subscription service, Google Play Music All Access, at the Google I/O conference in San Francisco. As reported yesterday afternoon, the service is designed to compete with Spotify, providing songs on demand that can be streamed to a computer or mobile device. The service, which is built on Google's existing Google Play Music Store, will cost $9.99 per month with a 30-day free trial available. Google is, however, offering a discount for early adopters. Those who begin the free trial by June 30 will pay just $7.99 per month. The Verge has a rundown on a few of the available features for music discovery and recommendations. Google's tagline for Google Play Music All Access is "Radio without Rules," a small jab at Apple's upcoming Pandora-style music service, iRadio. As of last week, Apple was still in negotiations with music labels but is reportedly aiming for a summer launch of its own music subscription service.

'We live in a world where isolationism has ceased to have a reason to exist,' declared Tony Blair in a speech in Chicago in 1999, as he explained that global terrorist movements and the mass migration of refugees meant that the happy citizens of Fortress Europe couldn't pretend that distant wars and failed states had nothing to do with them.
'Mankind's suffering belongs to all men,' said Bernard Kouchner, the inspirational director of Médecins Sans Frontières, as he laid out the duty of the rich world to intervene to save the poor world from crimes against humanity.
The humanitarian and political benefits men and women with guns on the ground would bring to Lebanon are obvious. An international force that meant business would stop Israelis bombing Lebanon and Hizbollah bombing Israel. Enforcing peace would answer what is now becoming a powerful argument against a wider Middle East settlement: whenever Israel removes forces from occupied territory - as everyone says it should - the abandoned land in Lebanon or Gaza Strip becomes a base for attacks from Hamas or Hizbollah.
The intervention of an international force could therefore provide a model for how Israel might withdraw from the West Bank in safety, and also allow the government of Lebanon to assert its authority over Hizbollah's state within a state. Finally, it would stop the world being distracted from the drive of Hizbollah's patrons in Iran to get the bomb, which is the reason why this war started in the first place.
Experience shows that troops would have to be ready for the long haul. In Bosnia, Kosovo and East Timor military interventions that politicians said would last for months, have dragged on for years, but in all three instances, the presence of foreign troops stopped mass murder and further conflicts.
Yet after Iraq, the phrase 'humanitarian intervention' dies on the lips. Who would do it? The British and Americans couldn't, their troops are committed in Iraq and Afghanistan and, in any case, the Americans are too tied to Israel. The European Union? The French just might, but overall the EU is deeply pacific as its disgraceful record in the former Yugoslavia showed. 'The hour of Europe has come!' thundered Jacques Poos, the foreign minister of the mighty Luxembourg, as the Serb nationalists raped and murdered their way across Bosnia 1992, but that bold declaration was as far as the EU was prepared to go.
The legacy of Iraq means that US, Arab or European generals would know that they would face suicide bombers - after all, Hizbollah attacks on American and French soldiers in Lebanon announced the arrival of the psychopathic tactic in the Middle East in 1983. After what Iraq has gone through, few commanders would relish a mission in which they had to do a little more than smile and pat children on the head.
Osama bin Laden has always maintained that the citizens of soft, self-indulgent democracies who 'love life' would never have the nerve to fight fanatics who 'love death', and he may be right. After Saddam's slaughter of the Kurds or the Srebrenica massacre or the Rwanda genocide, morally earnest people always cry 'never again!' - but it is happening again in the Sudan. One reason why the world barely discusses Darfur is that the Sudanese government in Khartoum has dropped heavy hints that it would encourage al-Qaeda to target a serious international force with the strength to make its presence felt.
Iraq has had a further consequence that I hear echoed in every discussion about war and genocide but find harder to pin down. George W Bush so enraged mainstream opinion that liberal-minded people trashed their principles and cut the ground from under their own feet. The legacy of their failure to support Iraqi democrats is a growth of conspiracy theory and a furious indifference to the suffering of others. Intervention in Lebanon, the Sudan or anywhere else would be 'all about oil', an 'illegal' war or a neoconservative plot. However just the cause or pressing the crisis, there are plenty who are primed now to shout that most solipsistic slogan of consumerist politics: 'Not in my name.'
Yet the need to rebuild a global consensus on what justifies the use of force won't go away. Tony Blair told his audience in Chicago in 1999 that 'threats to international peace and security' had to be the responsibility of the international community. In 2003, Bernard Kouchner told his fellow French citizens who were gloating about the success of the Islamists and the Baathists in Iraq: 'As for us, as so often draped in our certitudes, let us not imagine ourselves protected from barbarism.' Despite all that has happened since, they both remain right.
A small victory for reason over faith
Those of us who believe the government's promotion of faith schools will result in a calamitous segregation of children by religion and race had a victory last week. Not a very big one, I must admit, but successes are so rare we have learned to relish them. The National Secular Society and Liberal Democrat peers used the Human Rights Act to force New Labour to give pupils over the age of 16 the right to boycott school assemblies.
The climbdown followed a revolt by children at St Luke's, a Catholic sixth-form college in Bexley, south London. They signed a petition that said their faith school was 'more concerned with religion than education'. And they do seem to have had a good case.
Instead of learning about computing, the use of English and other fripperies, pupils heard gruesome lectures at assembly from one Barbara McGuigan, an American anti-abortionist and founder of Voice of Virtue International. 'It was just disturbing and went too far,' an 18-year-old girl told the Times Educational Supplement. 'We were shown pictures of foetuses aborted after 12 and 20 weeks - it was met with disgust. Some people were crying and walking out.'
The head, who has since been suspended, also made them carry a statue of the Virgin Mary around the college while singing hymns and excluded for a day pupils who refused to attend Mass. She told the local press that they were being 'openly defiant'. Alan Johnson, the Education Secretary, said that despite the turmoil at St Luke's he would not give sixth-formers the right to boycott such nonsense, but the reviled Human Rights Act has forced him to back down.
I would be making more of the victory, except that on the very day we won it, the government announced its latest education initiative. It was, inevitably, a plan to create more faith schools.
Prescott's pardner may doom the Dome
John Prescott's posing in cowboy boots at the ranch of Philip Anschutz may be more than an alarming vignette from the last days of his career. Anschutz, described by Fortune magazine as 'the greediest executive in America', did not befriend Labour ministers because he craves their company but because he expects a quid pro quo.
He took the white elephant of the Dome off their hands, and needs permission to run a super-casino to make it pay. In the current sleazy climate, when New Scotland Yard's crack detectives are crawling all over the government, I don't see how it is politically possible to grant him a licence. Anschutz will therefore pull out, the Dome will go bankrupt and journalists will thank whatever grubby god watches over my trade for giving new life to the most spectacularly ridiculous story of our careers.

Funeral services are scheduled for 1 p.m. Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at 1 p.m. at Avant Funeral Home in Alexandria for Mr. Smith, 65, of Lebanon.
Born August 20, 1946 in DeKalb County, he died Sunday, July 15, 2012 at his residence. A veteran of the US Navy, he worked for the past 25 years in maintenance at the Tennessean. He served on the Wilson County Fair Board and the Foundation Committee of Fiddler's Grove.

Director,Wilson County Emergency Management Agency
Extreme weather conditions in June and early July have produced a record number of brush and grass fires in Wilson County.
During the month of June, Wilson County Emergency Management Agency recorded 71 grass and brush fires. To date in July, 59 brush and grass fire calls have been answered. Four of these calls were volatile and had the potential for significant loss of property and/or life.
The recent string of 130 fires culminated on Friday afternoon, July 6, with a series of three weather related blazes being reported within a 15-minute time slot. The most sever of these incidents was on a farm located on South Commerce Road. When fire units arrived on the scene, the large farm house and two out-buildings were heavily involved. The blaze quickly spread to a mobile home and 30 rolls of hay. With windy conditions, the fire aggressively spread to approximately 15 acres, then jumped South Commerce Road and consumed an additional 15 acres.Wilson County Emergency Management, State Forestry and the Watertown Volunteer Fire Department were stretched extremely thin as the fire rapidly expanded. At this point, members of the Wilson County Sheriffs Department and the Tennessee Highway Patrol stepped in and filled some badly needed gaps in the attempt to get control of an extremely dangerous situation. Law enforcement officers drove trucks, sprayed water and moved threatened firefighting equipment out of harms way while maintaining security for the fire scene.
A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for breaking into two police vehicles on Monday, July 2, in the southeastern area of Wilson County.
Numerous bulletproof vests, a Glock .40 Caliber handgun and a Garmin GPS unit were taken from the vehicles.
Anyone with information concerning this crime or any other crimes should contact the Wilson County Sheriffs Department at 444-1459 or the Wilson County Crime Stoppers at 444-JAIL (444-5245). Callers will remain anonymous.

Local officials, as well as State Agriculture Commissioner Julius Johnson have rescinded burn bans put in place for Wilson County.
No burn ban is in effect at this time, said Wilson County Emergency Management Agency Director John Jewell.
The bans from state and local governments were lifted as a result of considerable rainfall in Wilson County over the past several days. The ban had applied to all open-air burning including leaf and woody debris and construction burning, campfires, outdoor grills and other fire activity outside of municipalities where local ordinances took precedent.
Although recently, outdoor grills were removed from the ban due to improved conditions.

A Good Cruise for the Money: Carnival Elation Cruise Review by bgsnydermd
Overall Member Rating
A Good Cruise for the Money
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: New Orleans
- Affordable
- Friendly Employees
- Cozumel Beach Buggy Excursion was Great
- Behind the Fun Tour
- Progreso is crap
- Smaller Ship = Bumpier Ride in Rough Seas
- Always Want you to buy something (Land and Sea)
This was good cruise. Not a great one, not a bad one...but definitely good. Boarding in New Orleans was easy and didn't take more than 30 minutes for us. The ship is a little dated but it looks nice and is reasonably clean. Our room was 2 bunk beds but it was actually pretty roomy and had lots of storage space. The bathroom was nice and clean. If you like to drink and hang at the bar, you will love this ship! There are tons of bars and places to drink. If drinking isn't your thing, you might be a little bored. There are some good shows, both large and small. I recommend checking out the smaller shows because they are little more active and fun. We loved the game show on the first night More and the dance classes were pretty entertaining as well. The comedy shows were also very funny.
The outdoor decks are nice but it was a little too cool for us to really enjoy ourselves outside on the sea days. We traveled during the recent Polar Vortex that crushed the south. One thing to be mindful of is that the Casino allows smoking so if you do not like cigarette smoke but want to gamble be prepared to deal with it. It doesn't bother me but I could imagine some people would hate it.
The food was pretty good, not great but good. Breakfast and lunch buffets were decent and well stocked. Dinners were a lot of fun because of great table mates. The food was pretty good. Any time we tried one of the special appetizers (frog legs, gator fritters, crab cake) it was about a 9 to 1 ratio of batter to meat which was disappointing. But other than that it was good. Service was pretty bad though. Our appetizers and food came out at different times and if you had one person who liked to just pick at their plate while waiting for dessert the servers would not even give you a dessert menu until that person was completely finished which was annoying. Our table was also served very late compared to other tables but it wasn't enough to make us not enjoy dinner. Just be patient and enjoy the good company.
Overall thoughts: Good cruise. We enjoyed it but as two 25 year olds who like to explore we found ourselves pretty bored on the ship. The older crowd had a blast so it can be a great time. Just don't expect top of the line. Carnival employees were very friendly.
We did the Behind the Fun tour on the last day of the cruise. 55 a person well worth it. You get to see crew areas, the kitchens, and the bridge. Met the Captain and it was awesome.
We purchased the Bottomless Bubbles program which is unlimited soda/juice for 6 dollars a day per person. Honestly, if you are good with Lemonade, Tea, and Water...then you can get that for free any time on the ship. And just buy a soda here and there. Orange juice and coffee was also free during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. **Bottomless Bubbles is different from the Cheers program which also offers unlimited (up to 15 drinks a day) alcohol. Less

Cabin review: U173
Decor was ugly but the room was nice, clean, and comfortable. Room steward was very friendly.
Port and Shore Excursions
Dune Buggy
Beautiful Destination! We did the Beach Buggy snorkeling excursion and I highly recommend it. Guides were Nacho and Ramon. They were great. You drive a good while on the road before going into a beautiful ecological park. Then you spend 2 hours on the beach where they give you a cheap buffet and free soda/bottled water. We could have skipped the snorkeling and just spent all the time starting at the amazing water. Snorkeling was fun though. Dont expect a finding nemo reef but there were some nice fish to look at. Note that the buggys are pretty unreliable. Ours was ok but some other people had problems. If you go with this excursion just keep in mind you may end up riding in a car at some point. Its still worth it. This island is nice enough where you could also just do your own thing. Its safe and there are lots of good bars and beach spots. Just do some research.
Chichen Itza
Junk. Dirty, poor, and depressing. They should drop this from the ports and just spend 2 days in Cozumel. We did the Chiczen Itza ruins which were nice but the bus drive was 2 hours both ways. The state of Yucatan is pretty crappy. Not a place where you would want to do your own thing. We enjoyed our time but would have rather just went to a beach or something. The beaches aren't as nice as Cozumel though. Do some research on your excursions. The ruins were beautiful but everything else was just bleh.
