Voters left out in county politics
By Crystal A. Proxmire
Originally printed 4/12/2012 (Issue 2015 - Between The Lines News)
Oakland County residents are losing representation as a coordinated Republican effort to gain control of the redistricting process has succeeded. The Commission will be cut from 25 commissioners to 21, and control over drawing the districts has been taken from the apportionment committee and handed to the representatives themselves.
The Republicans are also increasing their power as a seat left vacant by a Democrat from Auburn Hills and Pontiac was filled by appointing a Republican, violating the Board's own rule set in 1975. Not only was Commissioner Tim Greimel's seat given to a Republican, the seat (and the $32,000 salary that goes along with it) was given to Angela River, the owner of a hair salon in Auburn Hills with little in the way of electoral success, a history of drunk driving, and an application with spelling and grammatical errors. According to The Detroit Free Press, "River ran for the seat in 2010, finishing third in the Republican primary. She also ran for the Auburn Hills City Council in 2009, finishing 12 out of 14 candidates. She won a seat on the Auburn Hills Public Library Board of Trustees in November." She was also the Vice-Chair of the Oakland County Republican Party.
The Detroit Free Press article also stated, "Commissioner David Potts, R-Birmingham, said he voted for River even though he didn't agree with fellow Republicans about the appointment." In the article Potts goes on to explain that if the Republicans wouldn't have appointed someone, there would have had to have been a special election. Had a special election been considered, the voters in Pontiac and Auburn Hills would have been the ones deciding who should represent them for the remainder of 2011.
"There seems to be no limits the Republican majority will go to take power away from voters," said County Commissioner Marcia Gershenson, co-chair of the Democratic Caucus. "To appoint someone who does not share the values of voters they will represent in this traditionally Democratic district is wrong and unfair to voters."
Commissioner Craig Covey, who represents Ferndale, Hazel Park and part of Royal Oak said, "I voted against Angela River to replace Tim Greimel in the Democratic seat that includes Auburn Hills and Pontiac. Her resume cover letter was filled with grammatical and spelling errors, and now it comes out that she has a restricted driver's license with three drunk driving convictions, one being a felony. She is a Republican, and I spoke out during the vote that we should replace a Democrat with another Democrat to be fair."
Democrats are looking into potential avenues to reclaim the seat in Auburn Hills and Pontiac. In the meantime, Covey is planning a fundraiser on May 1 at One Eyed Bettys in Ferndale to raise money to fight the redistricting decision.
Patterson power grab
"The Republican Power grab continues, and we will need to raise funds if the Democrats want to continue to fight this in court and politically," Covey said. "Taken together, my prediction has come true, which is that the partisan politics that people hate coming out of Lansing and Washington has now come home to roost in Oakland County, and that the kinds of corruption that Brooks likes to make fun of in Wayne County, is now rearing its ugly head in our own."
"Republicans are rigging the system and changing the rules to undermine the decision of Oakland County voters," said County Commissioner Dave Woodward, co-chair of the Democratic Caucus. "This is not Republicans versus Democrats; this is Republicans versus democracy, justice, and the rule of law. Oakland County voters deserve better."
Kevin Howley, who most recently served as interim executive director of Affirmations, is currently running against L. Brooks Patterson for position of Oakland County Executive. In a recent press release, Howley said "The decision demonstrated to voters that partisan politics trumps the rule of law. More importantly, it demonstrated that with Republicans holding substantial majorities in both houses of the legislature and on the county commission, coupled with a partisan Supreme Court and a Republican governor, citizens are left without checks and balances in the system."
The redistricting issue has gone through the court system. Courts determined that the maps drawn by the Apportionment Committee were legal and fair. Instead of accepting the determination, the Republicans, led by Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson, coordinated a political effort to change the laws regarding districts. Although it only affects Oakland County, PA 280 caps representation at 21 and gives the power to the draw the lines to the Commissioners themselves. The Appeals Court sided with the Democrats, ruling that this was a local law and required 2/3 of the state legislature to pass. The Republicans appealed and the Supreme Court ruled in their favor. The four Republican-appointed Justices supported the new law, and the three Democratically-appointed ones dissented.
Later this week, the lines will be drawn in special meetings. A vote is expected by April 13. Not only does the move cut representation, it leaves Democratic candidates at a disadvantage because even though election season is well underway, they have no idea what districts they may or may not be in. Those that have already filed petitions, like Covey, will have to start over once the new districts are drawn.
Patterson's office had denied having anything to do with the decisions made at the state level. However it was later determined that Patterson had exchanged many emails and spent over $130,000 of taxpayer money to fund the coordinated political effort.
Emails obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request reveal the planning process. Patterson and other Republicans exchanged emails about how to best get the legislation passed quickly and under the radar of the public, and even concocted the reduction of the number of representatives as their reasoning for wanting a change.
"I guess it would also help to have a legitimate explanation as to why we waited until now, after redistricting plans have been submitted, to take these bills up. I'm thinking that we claim we were having trouble agreeing on how many seats the BOC would ultimately have," wrote Rep. Eileen Kowall (R-White Lake), on Sept. 6, 2011. This and other emails indicate the extent of the politicking that occurred.
Patterson issued a statement about the ruling, stating "Michigan Supreme Court ruling is a victory for the taxpayers and residents of Oakland County. Not only will they save $2.5 million over 10 years by reducing the number of county commissioners, but they will benefit from their accountable, elected officials drawing county commission district lines, not unaccountable political party bosses."
Covey remains hopeful and vigilant. "We still don't know where Ferndale will land in this new redistricting, we may know within days how the new Republican map looks. I plan to run for re-election to the County Commission regardless of how they mess around with our cities. I just want to try and make sure that Ferndale, Royal Oak, and Hazel Park get to be well represented, whether that be by myself, or another person elected," he said. "I hope that people will start to pay attention to these underhanded political acts and will get more involved. Come to the fundraiser. Come to meetings. Protest. Have your voice heard. That's what politics is all about."

Geoffrey Farmer's installation The Blacking Factory was comprised of three interrelated works: a prop newspaper box, a sculptural installation in the form of a large truck trailer and a film work depicting a window of the Contemporary Art Gallery shattering from an explosive concussion. With these works Farmer utilized the technological expertise of the film industry to create analogies between increasingly sophisticated mechanics of display and the artifice behind the social production of meaning and value. The truck trailer was fabricated in mimicry of those used by movie production companies—an increasingly common sight on the streets of Vancouver—and alluded to the transportation of such necessities as props, lighting systems and costumes necessary to the creation of illusions. The film work rehearsed a set piece found in a wide spectrum of Hollywood films—from action-adventure to thriller—and utilized the unexpectedness of this violent genre staple within and about the gallery to prompt reflection about the context of our perception.
This publication accompanied the exhibition The Blacking Factory, Geoffrey Farmer curated by Reid Shier at the Contemporary Art Gallery from June 21 to August 11, 2002. The publication includes essays by Nanaimo based poet and critic Peter Culley and Reid Shier, with an introduction by Christina Ritchie and a letter of apology from Geoffrey Farmer (included below). The book includes two colour posters.
Letter of Apology
Dear Contemporary Art Gallery:
I am writing this letter to apologize for the apparent reduced form of this project as compared to my previous work:
1. First of all instead of producing a stack of hundreds of prop newspapers and having them available for people to take away, I found one in the back of a prop house in a cardboard box. (See page xx)
2. I had promised to actually blow out the east gallery windows, but due to time constraints, budgetary concerns, crew expenses (Fire engine $110/hour, Firefighter $65/hour, Officer $80/hour) and permits (Fees for a hydrant permit: $160.50) I was forced to have the explosion digitally created from a still photograph at GVFX and although they did a great job in creating the effect they used blue smoke instead of the green smoke that I had asked for. (Also I had asked to blow only one of the windows out, and they blew all of them out.)
3. I also had wanted the Trailer to be full of props, sets and research material which referred to Charles Dickens (hence the name The Blacking Factory) but was unable to complete this part of the project due to a couple of factors which I can not go into here because they are philosophical and personal.
4. I was also going to hire a crew to come in and age the exterior of the gallery using Soy Sauce (an industry standard) but I was unable to get permission to do this from the Strata of the building.
5. There was some talk of having 10,000 children march through the gallery in a single line but this was deemed not feasible.
6. I had also wanted to produce the musical Oliver using the staff of theContemporaryArtGallery as the main characters but the time commitment for this was unreasonable and the willingness of the staff was an issue.
I also wanted to apologize to the staff if I seemed stiff or detached during the installation it was only a way to protect myself emotionally and psychologically as the production of this piece was very time consuming and we ran into a lot of technical problems in trying to make the Trailer look real.
I hope that we will have the opportunity of working together again in the future.

Teaneck Public Library
840 Teaneck Road, Teaneck, NJ 07666

Library Circuit Rider Bears Good Books
By Ron Wertheimer, Staff Writer
It may be the nation's best seller, but "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" isn't a hot item at the Teaneck Public Library.
Thanks to a two-week-old arrangement among nigh Bergen libraries. Teaneck's "Seagull" will be on its way to neighboring towns where waiting lists for the book have more than 50 names.
In return, the dozen Teaneck readers who have filled out reserve requests for Ayn Rand's 1957 novel, "Atlas Shrugged," will be reading copies of the book that were idle on the shelves in nearby communities.
With their passion for the poetic, librarians have dubbed the informal exchange "The Widening Circle." The circle includes libraries in Bergenfield, Englewood, Fort Lee, Glen Rock, New Milford, Paramus, River Edge, and Tenafly, in addition to Teaneck.
According to Olive Tamborelle, Teaneck's library director, the circle won't get much wider. With the probable inclusion of Ridgefield, the group will reach its limit.
The program is different from the several library federations already existing in the country. In these, residents of one community can use libraries in others. And in the federations, the libraries have formal contractual agreements with one another.
The Widening Circle is different. The agreement that gave it birth is verbal. Any member library can pull out at any time.
Under the new program, a reader gets a book from another town by requesting it at his own local library.
It works like this: You go to your library and look in the catalogue for a book. If it isn't there chances are it will be somewhere in the 350,000 volumes of the nine library. so you fill out a request form.
At 9 each morning, a driver leaves Teaneck headed for Englewood with the Teaneck request forms. He looks for those books in the Englewood catalogue, takes out the ones he finds and takes Englewood's requests to Fort Lee after dropping off the Teaneck books destines for Englewood readers.
The driver makes the circuit in three to five hours. No reader will have to wait more than a day for a book, provided one of the cooperating libraries has it. Miss Tamborelle says 80 per cent of the requests can be filled.
Trading-stamp Car
It may sound complicated, but it works. In Essex County the same kind of system, with 13 member libraries, has been in operation more than a year.
The individual libraries chip in for the salary of the part-time driver. He uses the car the Teaneck library bought recently with trading stamps contributed by residents.
As in nearly everything else, home rule dominates the library scene in Bergen County. But Miss Tamborelle would like to see more cooperation.
"No library today can live along," she says. "A public library is free to all."

Two firms vote for filtration as growth area; Tapyrus will also make medical NW on new line
HOUSTON, TEXAS, December 13, 2012-
Two companies on opposite sides of the globe announced in late November that they were starting up new meltblown nonwovens lines, and both said they are targeting filtration as key end-use areas. Sandler AG's VS 61 line, at its Schwarzenbach an der Saale plant in Germany, is aimed entirely at filter media, including media for air conditioning systems, while Tapyrus (Thailand) Co., Ltd.'s new unit will serve both filtration and medical fields.
Sandler's new investment in meltblown capacity had not previously been disclosed, but in August 2012 Dr. Ulrich Hornfeck, a member of the company's Management Board, told Nonwovens Markets the company might be more likely to invest next in technical nonwovens rather than in wipes. At that point Sandler had only just begun to assemble the new line, which now becomes the company's third meltblown unit.

Monday, January 26 2009 - Accountability
September 11th Advocates Statement Re. Gitmo Closing
For immediate release
The Guantanamo Bay Detention Center continues to be an enormous stain on America's reputation. Newly elected President Obama has taken the first step in removing this stain by keeping his campaign promise to the American people.
The temporary halting of proceedings at Gitmo gives us the "audacity to hope" that President Obama will be able to restore America's good name, which has been repeatedly tarnished during the past eight years.
We appreciate the tough decisions that President Obama has been forced to make and admire him for taking these difficult tasks on. We look forward to hearing his plan for closing Guantanamo Bay forever, finding a just way to try the detainees and putting an end to this horrific chapter in America's history.
# # #
Patty Casazza
Additonally, please see earlier statement below, which further explains our position.
September 11th Advocates StatementApril 3, 2008
As women whose husbands were killed on September 11 2001, we feel strongly that the perpetrators of that horrific crime should be brought to justice. But first it is imperative to prove that these six detainees are indeed the guilty parties.
Unfortunately, the Administration insists on trying the suspects in the broken military commissions system. Prosecuting these men within a system that is secretive in nature and lacking in due process, and which uses evidence tainted by questionable interrogation methods and possibly even torture, is a dangerous endeavor. All Americans, and indeed the entire international community, must have the opportunity to witness for themselves the body of evidence that ties these individuals to the 9/11 terrorists' plot. Otherwise the credibility of any verdict will lack legitimacy. Moreover, unless these trials are above reproach, any convictions will bring the wrath of the international community, damaging what is left of America's standing in the world. Considering that we continue to rely heavily on cooperation from other nations to provide us with intelligence information on would be terrorists, this course of action can only be detrimental to these crucial relationships, thereby jeopardizing our national security.
These trials, when they finally take place, will be scrutinized around the globe. Unless the victims' families, the American public and the entire world can be convinced that we are trying and convicting the people who are truly responsible for the 9/11 crimes, these trials will be seen as a miserable failure, dimming our prospects of improved international relationships, and making us more vulnerable to terrorist attacks in the future.
On behalf of ourselves, our husbands, and our families, we support the American Civil Liberties Union in its pursuit of justice and insistence on due process. The only outcome worth pursuing is the truth, and the only way get there is by fair trials that uphold the Constitution.

Brewarrina's rich fishing history
Aboriginal people built stone fisheries on the bed of the Darling River (just downstream from the present day weir). You can still see them today on a guided tour.
About Brewarrina
Brewarrina is located on the banks of the BarwonâDarling River in Outback NSW. For thousands of years, the area around Brewarrina was a meeting place for many Aboriginal language groups. Estimates suggest that the fish traps that Aboriginal people used to catch fish on the river are as much as 40,000 years old.
Today, fishing and other water sports flourish in the area. The Narran Lakes Nature Reserve, 50 km north-east of Brewarrina, covers about 50,000 hectares. Try fishing for Murray cod, yellowbelly and catfish at Four Mile Reserve, 6 km from Brewarrina, where you'll also find camping and barbecue facilities, a boat ramp, toilets and showers.
If you're looking for a true outback experience, accommodation at Bokhara Hutz, 35 km north of Brewarrina, is the place for any birdwatching, astronomy or bushwalking enthusiast. Stay overnight or enjoy a few days getting involved in station life.
Visit the Brewarrina Aboriginal Cultural Museum to see beautiful handmade artefacts and experience Aboriginal culture firsthand. Cafe De-Luxe at 87 Bathurst Street in Brewarrina will satisfy any yearning for a mixed grill. Wash it down with Cafe De-Luxe's famous lemon, orange and pineapple squash.

By Kelly Whiteside, USA TODAY
NUTLEY, N.J. Rows and rows of varsity jackets filled Nutley High School's auditorium on a clear fall night. Basketball players, wrestlers and swimmers from neighboring high schools in northern New Jersey settled into their seats to listen to a panel about concussions, an issue that has made headlines at all levels of sports.
"How many people here have had a concussion?" asks Jill Brooks, a neuropsychologist and one of the nation's leading experts on sports-related concussions.
Hands raise.
"C'mon, fess up," Brooks says. More hands raise. "That looks more realistic," she says. Brooks then asks who has had more than one concussion, more than two ... and when she reaches more than five, two hands remain.
Brooks describes a concussion's far-reaching effects, including the often overlooked aspect of concussion management: difficulties in the classroom. She introduces Brianna Binowski, a sophomore at Bridgewater-Raritan High School in Bridgewater, N.J.
Brianna is a typical high school athlete, not a future college star, just a kid whose life revolves around the sport of the season. Her story has become all too familiar. She was medically cleared to return to sports too soon and continued to take a full course load at school. The mental demands of the classroom slowed her recovery as well. Addressing the roomful of her peers on this November evening, Brianna describes what life has been like since suffering her first concussion in February when she took a knee to the head during a basketball game.
It's been nine months, and I still have headaches every single day I wake up. I don't want to go to school. I barely get out of bed. My mom is constantly trying to get me up, and I just don't want to get up. I'm late for school, which is no fun. I get really dizzy when I get up from a chair, and I am also tired all the time. I sleep for 16 hours, and I'm still exhausted.
As education grows, from the grass-roots level such as the high school panel in Nutley to Capitol Hill, concussions have become a part of mainstream discussion. The attention the NFL brought to the issue has trickled down, increasing awareness in youth sports. Eight states have passed concussion-specific legislation to help protect young athletes, including New Jersey on Dec. 7. That same day, the NFL and National Athletic Trainers Association announced a partnership at the Youth Sports Safety Summit on Capitol Hill. The groups plan to lobby Congress and state legislatures for laws establishing minimum standards of concussion safety and management for high school and youth sports.
The movement toward standardized return-to-play policies is significant, but experts say concussion management in the classroom has been overlooked.
"Everyone is getting to the same page about physical exertion after a concussion," Brooks says. "Now the next frontier is to really explain to people that mental exertion drives up symptoms from concussions as well and affects recovery."
After my concussion, I was stressed about everything. I was scared to go back to school because all of the work. School was really hard. My mom had to help me with a lot of my homework. When you go to school and try to concentrate with a headache, it's one of the hardest things you have to do. Your mind starts wandering, and you have to pull yourself back and it makes it worse. No one really knows what you're going through because it's all in your head, and they see you and they think you're fine.
As the mantra "When in doubt, sit them out" increasingly becomes part of schools' lexicon, guidelines for the classroom are much more muddled. Teachers, school nurses and administrators were seeking information to help students with concussion symptoms. "They would say, 'You've told the coach what to do. Now, what do I do to help these kids?' " says Julie Gilchrist, a pediatrician and medical epidemiologist with the Division of Unintentional Injury Prevention at the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. As a result, the CDC published a toolkit to provide guidelines for school officials. Gilchrist says teachers and school administrators need to realize that cognitive rest is just as important as physical rest.
"Everybody before was aware that we need to pull them out of play and make sure that we don't raise their heart rate and we don't stress the brain in a physical way," Gilchrist says. "But it became apparent that stressing the brain in a cognitive way was also potentially impeding a speedy recovery. And so reading, studying, testing, even texting — even watching movies if you are one who is sensitive to light — any of those aspects also could slow down a student's recovery."
Brooks, the New Jersey-based neuropsychologist, is on the front line, educating and cajoling school districts unfamiliar with the classroom modifications needed after a concussion.
"Every child that walks in my office, I write a Section 504 plan that makes an adjustment to the school day, the amount of homework, test-taking, all of those things," Brooks says. Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 protects individuals who have a disability (temporary or permanent) that affects their performance.
Some schools are accommodating, others less flexible. Given the coordination needed among teachers, school officials, school nurses, attendance-takers, parents and doctors, the process can be challenging.
"You can look across a child's day, and there's lot of things they do to overuse that brain. And we have to help manage that system carefully," says Gerard Gioia, a pediatric neuropsychologist and director of a concussion program at the Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
"In my clinic, it's quite easy for me to say — not always pleasant but easy for me to say — you can't go back out onto the field. It's very difficult to say we're going to have to manage what happens in school because we've got to bring the whole school team into our team."
The hardest part of a concussion is dealing with school. You're trying to do all this stuff, and it's chaotic, and you don't really want to be around people because they're loud and obnoxious. When you get home, you're supposed to do your homework and you just want to sleep. Then I found Dr. Brooks. We slowly started to fix some of these issues.I've been able to rearrange my schedule, and my teachers are very understanding.
Though boys continue to participate in sports at a higher rate than girls, female athletes are more likely to suffer sports-related concussions, according to several studies. A study on gender differences in concussion symptoms among high school athletes, to be published in January in the Journal of Athletic Training, found that the types of symptoms reported by males and females differed. Boys reported more cognitive symptoms (difficulty concentrating), while girls reported more neurobehavioral (sleeping more than usual, drowsiness, nervousness) and somatic (headache, nausea, sensitivity to light and noise) symptoms.
What still is unclear is how many young athletes suffer concussions. Gioia, the neuropsychologist who spoke at the Youth Sports Safety Summit this month, says that for every NFL concussion there are 50,000 at the youth level in all sports.
"A concussion is a traumatic brain injury," Gioia says. "This happens more frequently than we would hope, millions of kids.
"But here's the dirty secret. We really don't know the numbers (since so many incidents are unrecognized and unreported). This is probably the tip of the iceberg. What we know is when we don't identify this, the symptoms take much longer to (subside)."
In Brianna's case, by the time she saw Brooks, she had joined an elite swimming team and played soccer in the backyard. Brooks says Brianna's return to exercise and a full course load probably affected her recovery.
I'm starting to get better, but still not 100%. Be aware that concussions really hurt and just because you got hit once and your doctor said you would be out a week and you'll be fine, it's really more serious than that. I've been out for nine months and was used to playing two sports a season. I just want to say, concussions are no fun.
Says Brooks, "When I go to schools about this for the first time, they may look at the student's grades and say, 'Oh come on, does she really have a concussion?' It's still the same thing about concussions being a silent epidemic. On the outside they look great, and on the inside they are confused and they are shattered. Brianna's grades are great. She's a straight-A student. But you look at her and you know."
At the end of Brianna's seven-minute talk, loud applause fills the auditorium. As the high school athletes, some of whom have had concussions, leave, Brianna's grandmother approaches Brooks and thanks her.
"My Brianna is not the same," Brianna's grandmother says with tears in her eyes.
"We'll get her back," Brooks says. "We will."

Gaza, Palestinian territory: Life is getting back to normal in Gaza after the devastation caused by the brutal Israeli airstrike in across the border conflict, killing at least 150 Palestinians.
Thousands of children returned to school on Saturday in the Gaza strip after non-stop eight days of cross-border fighting between Israel and Hamas.
Following the air-strikes by Israel Defence Forces (IDF) on Gaza, the schools were closed and children came out happy being able to recommence their studies.
"Today thank Allah, we returned to school during the last few days, some of the nearby buildings were destroyed because the Ministry of Interior is in the same neighborhood. All the nearby school buildings were damaged," headmistress of Zaitoun School, Naheda Silmi, told Saudi newspaper.
"We tried to renovate the school and keep the students away from the damage. Windows and doors were broken. We are trying to create a real school day for students after what happened," she added.
Head of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) office in Gaza, Alexy Makhlof visited Al Shojaia primary school on Saturday to see the damage.
Many students were thankful to meet and see their friends safe in Gaza.
A student was quoted saying that she had been ready to go back to class but was left looking at the damage instead.

Norwegian Star - Alaska: Norwegian Star Cruise Review by Janet Acosta
Overall Member Rating
Norwegian Star - Alaska
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
Embarkation was a breeze. We checked our baggage at about noon. There was no waiting in line to check in. Waited about 10 minutes before being allowed to board the ship. As others have commented, ship staff encourage you to go to the buffet for lunch once you board the ship, however, Versailles is open for lunch. It was a great choice.. the restaurant was empty when we arrived and were able to get a table by the window. By the time we had finished our lunch, we were told that the cabins were ready. Our luggage was More delivered to our room just around the time that the ship began to sail away.
Cabins were comfortable and clean. We were happy to have the refrigerator where we kept the water bottles that we brought along. Only two power outlets, but that was enough to charge the phone and the camera battery. Dining overall was good. As you would expect, the meals at the restaurants were better than in the buffet. We had breakfast at the buffets and thought they were fine.. the food options were the same each morning. The buffet and grill by the pool were best for lunch. For dinner Aqua and Versailles were both nice, they both had the same menu which varied each night, but we preferred the atmosphere and the service at Versailles. We enjoyed the meals at these restaurants - they had a nice selection; taste and presentation were great. The Endless Summer Mexican cuisine restaurant was OK - nothing spectacular. Le Bistro (cover charge) was fine, but we didn't think it was worth paying for it when the food and service wasn't that much better than it was at Versailles. Blue Lagoon had good food, but the service was slow. We mostly went there to grab a cookie and/or poundcake with coffee or tea. The prices for soda and alcoholic beverages were outrageous, so we stuck to water and tea while on the ship.
Entertainment was somewhat lacking. We didn't mind too much because we just wanted to rest and relax, but there really weren't too many interesting choices.
Staff around the ship was great. Everyone was very friendly and always trying to satisfy the guests. Excursions were somewhat pricey, but we thought they were fun. Definitely a good idea to make reservations online EARLY. We made our reservations online a little over a week prior to sail date and one of our choices was already sold out. We saw that the excursions office onboard had long lines. We planned excursions at each port and were glad we did.. the towns are really small and it is best to plan to do something. Our favorite excursions were: Skagway - helicopter ride to Meade Glacier, and in Prince Rupert - Wildlife cruise (on a fast boat)where we saw the most spectacular humpback whale show. The biggest disappointment was the Yukon Railroad excursion in Skagway. The views are very nice but it's a 3 hour train ride to nowhere and back - no stops along the way. After about 1 hour we had enough of the train but had no choice but to stick it out for another 2 hours. Ketchikan and Juneau were the best for souvenir shopping. The ship's souvenir shop Galeria was expensive and the selection wasn't impressive.
Disembarkation was a breeze as well. You are able to choose the time that you want to get off the boat. We had chosen an 8:45 departure, but ended up leaving earlier (8:30). Once off the ship, we found our luggage quickly. I would say that the whole process took about 15 minutes.
I plan to cruise with NCL again in the future and would recommend it to others. Less

We introduce the concept of \\emph{Revocable Predicate Encryption (RPE)}, which extends the previous PE setting with revocation support: private keys can be used to decrypt an RPE ciphertext only if they match the decryption policy (defined via attributes encoded into the ciphertext and predicates associated with private keys) and were not revoked by the time the ciphertext was created.
The first challenge in RPE schemes is to preserve privacy for RPE ciphertexts, namely to ensure the \\emph{attribute-hiding} property, which is inherent to traditional PE constructions, and which implies the more basic property of payload hiding, used in the context of Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE). We formalize the notion of attribute hiding in the presence of revocation and propose our first RPE construction, called AH-RPE, which is attribute-hiding under the Decision Linear assumption in the standard model. In the AH-RPE scheme we deploy the revocation system of Lewko, Sahai, and Waters (IEEE S\\&P 2010), introduced for a simpler setting of broadcast encryption, which we modify for integration with the payload-hiding ABE scheme of Okamoto and Takashima (CRYPTO 2010), after making the latter attribute-hiding by borrowing additional techniques from Lewko, Okamoto, Sahai, Takashima, and Waters (Eurocrypt 2010).
As a second major step we show that RPE schemes may admit more stringent privacy requirements in comparison to PE schemes, especially when it comes to the revocation of private keys. In addition to attribute-hiding, RPE ciphertexts should ideally not leak any information about the revoked keys and by this about the revoked users. We formalize this stronger privacy notion, termed \\emph{full hiding}, and propose another RPE scheme, called FH-RPE, which achieves this notion in the setting of ``sender-local revocation\'\' of Attrapadung and Imai (Cryptography and Coding 2009), under the same assumptions as our AH-RPE construction. Our FH-RPE scheme is also based on the attribute-hiding variant of Okamoto and Takashima\'s ABE scheme, yet with a different revocation method, in which we integrate the Subset-Cover Framework of Naor, Naor, and Lotspiech (CRYPTO 2001) for better efficiency.

Mulberries: Glucose-controlling hallucinogen
I used to get a lot of dates using mulberries.
Not to sound sexist, but most women like men who can cook. And when the mulberries were in season I would ply a young lass or two with mulberry pie or sorbet explaining this was a delicious concoction unavailable anywhere else, kind of like me ….hint-hint, wink-wink. It worked so well that every season (before I owned my own land) I would scout out available mulberry trees and ladies and plan to match them up for gastro-amorous intentions. Now I own a highly-productive mulberry tree… and the romance is still working.
Mulberries, in my case, Morus rubra (MOE-russ RUBE-ruh) are full of life. One spring I trimmed my mulberry and used the branches for stakes. They rooted and grew. Not one to get in nature's way I dug them up, gave them to a friend, and they are still growing.
Mulberries are native to North America and also introduced. Their berries are extremely healthy, and other parts of the tree have medical uses as well. The berry is used in pies, tarts, wines and cordials. Cooked, such as in muffins, they are much like blueberries in flavor. The Black Mulberry and Red Mulberry, the latter native to eastern North America, have the strongest flavor. The Asian Mulberry, naturalized in urban areas, is edible but a clear distant third in taste. Mature fruit of all are packed with reseveratrol. Unripe fruit and mature leaves have a white sap that's intoxicating and mildly hallucinogenic. White Mulberry tea quite popular in Japan. White Mulberry leaves are also the sole food source for the silkworm (Bombyx mori, named after the Mulberry genus Morus). The worms are edible cooked but not that tasty.
Mulberry leaves can help regulate blood sugar levels, and reportedly play a role in losing weight by controlling sugar cravings. They are also is a source of Vitamin C and carotene. Mulberries have anthocyanins which are edible pigments commonly called antioxidants. Young leaves cooked are edible
As for the name, Ruba is red. Morus is a bit more involved. A Babylonian story later incorporated into Greek mythology attributes the reddish color of the mulberry fruit to the tragic death of lovers. The Greek god Moros, who drove men to their fate, arose from that and where we get the English word, through Dead Latin, "morose." Contemporary Greeks call the mulberry Mouro and southern Greece, Peloponnese, is often called Mora because it is roughly shaped like a mulberry leaf.
At one time the Paper Mulberry was grouped with other mulberries, and is closely related, but is now called Broussonetia papyrifera (broo-soh-NEE-she-uh pap-ih-RIFF-er-uh.) Its fruit is edible and it can grow into a very large tree. Here in the South, it's a linden-like tree that often defies identification. Its young leave are also edible when cooked, however, they are chewy. To see a separate entry on Paper Mulberry go here.
Nutritionally, the mulberry berries area powerhouse: They're low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium, high in Vitamin C, Vitamin K, iron, dietary fiber, riboflavin, magnesium and potassium, about 4.5 carbs per 100 grams, 120 calories. Mulberry leaves are consider animal food if not intoxicating to people. But young leaves are edible cooked, boiled or stir-fried. Fresh mulberry leaves are 71.13 to 76.68% moisture, 4.72 to 9.96% crude protein, 4.26 to 5.32% total ash, 8.15 to 11.32% Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), 0.64 to 1.51% crude fat, 8.01 to 13.42% carbohydrate and 69 to 86 kcal/100 g for energy. Ascorbic acid ranged from 160 to 280mg/100g β-carotene from 10,000.00 to 13,125.00 μg/100 g, respectively. Iron, zinc and calcium ranged from 4.70-10.36 mg/100 g for iron, 0.22-1.12 mg/100 g for zinc, and 380-786 mg/100 g, for calcium.
The following recipes from Living off the Land and Wild Edibles by the late Marian Van Atta, whom I knew some 35 years ago:
Mulberry Pie: One baked 9″ pie crust. 4 c. Stemmed mulberries. 1/4 c. Cornstarch. 3/4 c. Sugar. 1/2 c. Water. 2 T. Lemon or Lime juice. — Add sugar to mulberries in a saucepan. Mix cornstarch with water. Add to berries. Add juice. Cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and juice becomes clear. Pour into bake pies shell. Cool and serve.
Mulberry Vinegar: In a large bowl, place 3 quarts clean mulberries. Mash and pour 3 cups of boiling-hot white vinegar over berries. Cover with a towel and for 3 days, mix fruit with a wood spoon. Strain juice trough jelly bag. To each cup juice add one cup sugar. Boil together for 5 minutes. Pour into sterilized jars and seal. When ready to use, pour 2 T. Mulberry vinegar in an 8 ounce glass. Fill with water and ice.
Mulberry Sauce: To four cups of mulberries add 1 1/2 c. Brown sugar, 1 t. each of cloves and allspice, to mashed berries. Bring to boil. Simmer until thick stirring often. Bottle and seal.
Green Deane's "Itemized" Plant Profile
IDENTIFICATION: Mulberries are fast-growing but rarely exceed 40 feet, easily trained to be short and easy to harvest. Leaves alternate, simple, often lobed, toothed on the edge. The fruit is about an inch long changing from white to red to dark purple or black. Reminds one of a long blackberry, will stain your fingers purple.
TIME OF YEAR: Fruits in late spring, what ever that might be in your climate.
ENVIRONMENT: Likes moist soil and prefers hardwood forests. However, in Florida they frequent abandoned truck farms and other fields. Often are found growing by hotel and apartment complexes parking lots, and roadsides.
METHOD OF PREPARATION: Out of hand or for anything one would use a blackberry, strawberry or blueberry for. Young leaves of any of the mulberry species cooked, though they can be tough.

WP as a kind of LMS?
I have used WP for many different sites, ranging from personal blogs to shopping carts. I just got a request to create a kind of LMS.
Meaning a repository where people could have classes listed and some attributes for the class, documents for the classes with variable fields for documents (internal doc type, last edited, content owner… stuff like that), and then just your standard editable pages.
Further down the road they may want forms for people to add classes or request certain things — so it will never replace the corporate LMS but will be more middleware.
Is there a theme or plugin that sets the tone for this?
Is WP a solution for this?
I have a good PHP background and do not mind doing a lot on my own but I am trying to figure out if I go with an LMS and strip it down (won't be as flexible as WP or have the bells and whistles), go with a CMS written for a more educational environment (I would personally hate to buy some crap that paints me in a box), or use WP and modify the hell out of it.
[No bumping, thank you.]

Notes on Sir Walter Scott's Library
- A Catalogue of any eminent author's Library is likely to be prized by persons familiar with his writings. In the present case, undoubtedly, the nature and extent of the Collection throw light, in a remarkable manner, on the history of its founder. The reader has before him a faithful inventory of the materials with which the National Poet and Novelist had stored his mind before he began his public career; and also very striking indications, both of the zeal with which he watched the progress of literary enterprise down to the close of his life, and of the homage paid to his genius and celebrity by his contemporaries.
- Scott's son-in-law and biographer, Lockhart, in the Advertisement of the Cochrane catalogue
Lockhart's comment suggests that there are three kinds of works in the catalogue:
- books Scott read before he started to write (poetry: Lay of the last minstrel, 1804; novels: Waverley, 1814), especially historical and antiquarian works used as sources for his later fiction
- novels and poems by contemporaries read for interest or to be reviewed
- books presented to Scott in later life by their authors - usually marked "with MS letter from author to Sir W.S."
This analysis, broadly supported by what we actually see in the catalogue, encourages the traditional view of Scott as the ultimate batch-process novelist, who spent his first 45 years reading and his last fifteen years writing. This view is supported by the famous stories of novels dictated in the space of a fortnight from his sick bed (The bride of Lammermoor and Ivanhoe both came out of one attack of gallstones).
On the other hand, we should be aware that Scott wasn't just reading in his early years - he was also preparing new editions of old novels, memoirs, and poems, translating Goethe and Schiller, etc., etc. And even allowing for that, there are significant chunks of the catalogue that don't neatly fit into any of these categories. For example, there isn't any obvious explanation for Scott's very comprehensive collection of English plays of the 17th and 18th centuries, other than that he read them for his own pleasure.
A significant date to note in the catalogue, as far as new works are concerned, is 1826, when Scott got into financial difficulties. He avoided having to sell his library, but after that date there would have been little money for buying books.
Headings and shelf-marks
The tags used are derived directly from the shelf-marks in the Cochrane catalogue. Thus, for instance, principal k iii returns all the books on the third shelf of press "K" in the main library. This is interesting not so much in retrieving the books, but in giving you the chance to see which books Scott shelved together.
We have also added tags that correspond to the subject-headings in the catalogue. These should be treated with caution, as the headings in the printed catalogue are based on Cochrane's interpretation of Scott's shelving system, which was not entirely consistent in the first place. He seems to have worked by a vague association of period and context, but doesn't take much trouble to put works by the same author together.
We have had to abbreviate the headings further to make them usable as tags, so that some of the possibilities get lost. Thus, for instance, Cochrane's "French literature, chiefly historical; a few German and Italian books; and some English works on foreign history" has become the slightly misleading French literature etc. If in doubt, check the printed catalogue. [LT now supports longer tags -- the original truncated tags will be updated where possible to make them more meaningful.]
And don't forget that to Scott's generation modern covered everything from the fall of the Roman Empire onwards...
Long titles
Support for long titles was added to LT about halfway through the process of entering Scott's library. Where long titles have been truncated by LT, in most cases we have entered the full title in the Summary field.
Rebound works
A few of the "works" in the catalogue are evidently collections of tracts or books sold separately but rebound (by Scott or an earlier owner) into uniform sets. Where this is clear from the catalogue, the individual parts have been entered separately into LT. Collected works published as such have been entered as single works (Scott edited a number of these himself for Ballantynes). In many cases there is a listing of the contents in the catalogue.
We've included Cochrane's cross-references to Scott's works in the Comment field, though this isn't likely to be of practical use to many. If you are using them, it might be worth double-checking in a paper copy of the catalogue, as the small page numbers aren't always terribly clear in the Google scan we've been using.
Works added after Scott's death
There are a few books in the library that were evidently added by family members after his death, for example Lockhart's Memoir of the life of Sir Walter Scott and one or two editions of Scott's works. These are tagged posthumous.
Tips for contributors
The best results seem to come if you match the library to the place of publication:
- For books published in Scotland or northern England (Newcastle, Berwick, etc.), try National Library of Scotland first, then Edinburgh and Glasgow universities.
- For books published in London or southern England, try Oxford University and the British Library. Note that Oxford searches on individual words, so you are likely to get an overflow with titles that don't have any unusual words in them.
- For books published in America, Library of Congress is the best bet.
- Gemeinsamer Bibliotheksverbund (GBV) seems to give the best results for German or Scandinavian publications
- For French publications, start with SUDOC
- Yale and Cambridge (UK) universities sometimes seem to work for things that you can't find anywhere else.
Osbaldistone adds:
Sir Walter,
In case you were not aware, I thought you should know that the (nearly) complete catalogue listings created by the Advocates Library (Edinburgh) from the actual volumes on your shelves are now accessible via the internet. To get a list of all volumes entered in their database from your collection, go to their search page and search on the keywords 'Abbotsford' and 'Collection'. You can then click on any item in the resulting list and see the complete catalogue entry for that item. I believe this to be a significant addition to the catalogue made of your library back during your 'troubles'.
You can, of course, skip the complete catalogue results by searching on a specific item in your library using the appropriate simple or advanced search at this same link.

Errors in Cochrane
Cochrane (or his printer) is not 100% reliable - there are quite a lot of small and large errors in the text. If you cannot find the work, check for variant spellings of the author's name, or incorrect publication dates. A search in the Advocates Library catalogue can often help to point you in the right direction when search terms derived from Cochrane are finding nothing. There is also the usual problem that many older works were published anonymously - sometimes the attributions in library catalogues don't match those in Cochrane, possibly because he got it wrong himself, possibly because modern scholarship has attributed the work differently from the way it was attributed in Cochrane's day.

Tip #2: Don't Try to Be Perfect
Your employer is hiring a human, and all humans have flaws. Don't be afraid to talk about the qualities that define you—even the odd and quirky ones.
Tip #3: Show Some Emotion
No one wants to hire a person sans passion. When discussing something you care about, don't be afraid to get animated.
Tip #5: Observe Everything
When walking through the office, pay attention to the atmosphere—do people seem happy? Friendly? Overworked? A simple gesture can speak volumes.

In Grammar
Should you write Robert and me or Robert and I?
It depends upon the context. If you want to say that Robert and you did something, you say "Robert and I did something." In such a case, "Robert and I" is the subject of the s…entence. If you want to say that something happened to Robert and you, you say "Something happened to Robert and me." In that case, "Robert and me" is the object of the preposition "to". The easy way to know which one to use is to try the sentence without "Robert" and see whether it sounds right. For example, you wouldn't say "Me went to the store", so you wouldn't say "Robert and me went to the store." You wouldn't say "The ceiling fell in on I", so you wouldn't say "The ceiling fell in on Robert and I." (MORE)


text: Jan 29 11:30 PM CT By Todd Archer | ESPNDallas.com Summary: Jenkins' contract year could not have gone worse. He had reconstructive surgery on his right shoulder after the 2011 season, did almost all of his rehab away from the Cowboys, missed the entire offseason program, saw the Cowboys sign Brandon Carr to a $50 million free-agent deal and draft Morris Claiborne with the sixth overall pick in the draft. Jenkins was not healthy enough to play in the opener, missed three games during the year and started only two. After Orlando Scandrick was lost for the year with a broken hand, Jenkins moved into the slot for the first time in his career. He had only 14 tackles and three pass breakups and did not have an interception. Why keep him: He has ability and can be a top-shelf cornerback when healthy, and teams can never have enough cornerbacks. After the season he had, he could be a cheap buy. Why let him go: This isn't about the Cowboys letting him go. This is about Jenkins wanting to go, especially after the drafting of Claiborne. He wants an opportunity to start, which he won't get here. Read more: http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/cowboys/post/_/id/4705221/cowboys-free-agents-mike-jenkins

(Condescending) GOP strategist (Alex Castellanos): Women Dont Make Less Money Than Men - RS
GOP strategist: Women dont make less money than men
By Andrew Jones - RawStory
Sunday, April 29, 2012 12:56 EDT
Republican strategist Alex Castellanos denied Sunday morning the actual fact that women in America make less than men from work.
In a roundtable discussion on NBCs Meet The Press, Castellanos displayed signs of disagreement when MSNBC host Rachel Maddow mentioned the statistic that women make 77 cents for every dollar as their male counterparts. Noticing Castellanos discomfort, Maddow pressed the strategist on his viewpoint.
Women dont make less than men? she asked.
Actually if you start looking at the numbers Rachel, um, theres lots of reasons for that, Castellanos replied.
Wait wait, no, dont tell me the reasons why, do women make less than men? Maddow pressed.
Um, no, Castellanos said, before later dismissing Maddows current emotions.
I wish you were as right about what youre saying as you are passionate about it, he said. I really do.

5. How can it be Obama's policy when before he was born
Women made and still does less than men. If he going to try to sell his lies to me it will never happen. I guess it is Obama's policy to have sharia like laws being introduced in many states. And by men I might add. American women will rise up against "sharia laws" we will not take misguided laws aimed at us.

There was really lots of crosstalk.
"My passion on this issue, is actually me making factual arguments."
Mostly, I think he was right and she was wrong.
I still believe the 77 cents to the dollar is a nonsense statistic which merely compares median incomes to median incomes by various classes and ASSUMES that there is no other reason for a variation between medians than discrimination.
http://www.pay-equity.org/ (note the link to the pdf file there gets the 77 cents figure by comparing medians - just like I said. Again that just assumes that the median will factor out all other factors like different employers, different amouts of education, or experience, different amounts of lobbying or aggression (sometimes people get higher pay because they push, push, push for it), etc. It is simply NOT an apples to apples comparison.)
It is a nonsense statistic comparing pay without using a baseline of equal work.
Even beyond that, in the final analysis it is hard to compare "equal work". Take last night at my job. There were four of us working. We worked equal hours, but was our work really equal? There's no good way to compare. For example, I picked up the dance floor by myself. That's some heavy lifting there. Of the forty wood tables that went to the gym, I moved twenty of them by myself and assisted with the rest. That's 1200 pounds of lifting and hauling and setting down that I did. It's not like we divide things up equally, where each worker takes 10 tables or 7.5 squares of the dance floor.
I note that, because when I had women co-workers, they got equal pay, but they didn't do equal amounts of lifting. But that is true of some of the men too. Scott used to complain about Kate, and it is true that he could outlift her, but Kate was a way better worker than him even if she could only roll or lift one table at a time instead of two. Probably 90% of the job does not involve lifting.
But I am sure that people will respond with factual arguments rather than with I look forward to a vigorous debate. You know I've got an a$$-kicking coming. If nothing else, email this link to Rachel and have her hit me with some factual arguments. I'll fight the Rhodes scholar with one paw tied behind my back. Put 'em up. Put 'em up.

Paintings by James Meekins will be exhibited as part of Francis Marion University's Art Gallery Series, Jan. 11 through March 17.
The display is open to the public, free of charge, and may be viewed between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday in the Smith University Center gallery.
Meekins began to draw and paint very early in life due to the influence of two older sisters. They taught him to read and write at an early age and, as they were also talented at drawing and painting, they taught him those arts as well.
His first drawings were of horses, cattle and simple landscapes, as Meekins was born on a Texas ranch where working animals dominated family life.
He attended many schools and had personal instruction under many leading artists. He studied color and composition under Thelma De Goede Smith, and attended many workshops in France, Holland and Germany in both design and portraits. He never abandoned the Western influence in his work, although he did a "Renaissance" series that won many awards, and does commissioned portraits as well.
His great, great grandfather, Jonathan Meekins, was an early settler in the old Cheraws, which later became Marlboro County. Jonathan Meekins' sons and daughters moved to several of the surrounding counties, where James Meekins has acquired land that once belonged to his family. His studio, once a school and lodge known as the Dalcho School, was built by Masons in 1874 and has itself survived through many changes in fortune.
Meekins came to South Carolina in 1989 seeking his roots and he found them through the help of many people in Dillon, Marlboro and other surrounding counties. Soon after he arrived, the Florence Museum invited him to exhibit his work, together with portrait artist Lorna Shanks. The show launched his art in the area.

That quote may be the biggest clue yet as to how overpriced and overvalued NFLX shares truly are. It's like counting your chickens before they hatch! When the giddy euphoria and celebration cools down, my guess is that a big shorting effort on NFLX shares will commence. Then shares will go down low enough that the Relative Strength Indicator will signal that shares are oversold, and as sure as clock work, investors will drive the stock back up again. My best suggestion is to stand aside if you don't already own shares of NFLX until the stock drops back down to earth. Let the share price bring the forward PE ratio down to a "modest" 44 times earnings and perhaps you'll be able to buy shares for $75 or less. Be a rational, logical and patient investor.

1990 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 1990 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
The power door lock actuators may become slow to operate or stop working completely and require replacement.
The intake manifold gasket may develop an external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Running the engine with a coolant/oil mix may result in engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct this issue.
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) front wheel speed sensors are prone to failure. When a sensor fails, the ABS warning light may illuminate and/or the ABS system may activate erratically.
The rear axle bearings have been known to wear grooves in the rear axle shafts, creating a grinding noise and leaky axle seals. An indication that this problem has occurred is axle fluid leaking onto the wheel.
A coolant leak may develop form the Intake manifold gasket causing overheating complaints. The coolant leak may be internal allowing coolant to mix with the engine oil, this condition can result in internal engine damage. Be aware that this problem is often mistaken as a blown head gasket.
The pitman arm and/or lower ball joints may wear causing loose steering and alignment issues. Replacement of worn components will be necessary before the alignment can be properly set to specification.

Gore comes off as a supercilious grandstander who gets swatted away dismissively by the brilliant Bill Clinton.
To point that out, of course, will only strengthen her sense of being persecuted by supercilious elites.
Too often, it's just our supercilious attitude to this thing called relief.
I replied with, perhaps, some superfluous ardor to this supercilious speech, and a very hot discussion ensued.
Her reception of the Currans, while supercilious in expression, was really sincere.
He never saluted me with other than what I regarded as a supercilious nod of the head.
There was no concealing the fact, Cecil had meant to be supercilious, and he had succeeded.
He did not care what criticism the supercilious might make, the act was to him spontaneous and natural.
My gray thought him a supercilious snob, no doubt, and hated him.
The haughtiness which the psalmist disclaims has its seat in the heart and its manifestation in supercilious glances.
1520s, from Latin superciliosus "haughty, arrogant," from supercilium "haughty demeanor, pride," literally "eyebrow" (via notion of raising the eyebrow to express haughtiness), from super "above" (see super-) + second element akin to cilium "eyelid," related to celare "to cover, hide," from PIE root *kel- "to conceal" (see cell).
Since cilium is more recent than supercilium, the former can be interpreted as a back-formation to the latter .... If indeed derived from the root *kel- 'to hide', we must still assume that a noun *kilium 'eyelid' existed, since the eyelid can 'hide' the eye, whereas the eyebrow does not have such a function. Thus, supercilium may originally have meant 'what is above the cilium'. [Michiel de Vaan, "Etymological Dictionary of Latin and the other Italic Languages," Leiden, 2008]

Federal Treasury has been forced defend its carbon price modelling against claims it overestimated global action to reduce emissions and underestimated possible job losses, as it emerged that the new scheme would now cover as few as 400 companies.
Speaking at a Senate committee hearing into the proposed tax, senior Treasury officials were faced with a barrage of hostile questions from Coalition members and new Democratic Labor Party senator John Madigan over the claim made in modelling that there would be a global carbon price emerging by 2016.
Coalition senators also demanded Treasury release more detailed information and data used to produce the final modelling put out by the Gillard government in support of the carbon package.
Critics of the scheme have complained insufficient information has been made available to fully assess the results.
But the executive director of the Treasury Macroeconomic Group, David Gruen, said the working documents for the final modelling ran over "thousands and thousands" of pages. And he said he could not release the further information without agreement from the government.
"A modelling exercise, whether it be for the inter-generational report or climate change modelling, is a large exercise which generates a huge amount of output," Dr Gruen said.
"In writing up the inter-generational report or climate change modelling you have to put that into a coherent report and you would not want to produce reams and reams of spreadsheets and various other things because it would be largely incoherent. No one would read a document which was simply a download of what was on your hard disk."
Questioned about statements in the modelling that a world carbon price would emerge by 2016, Treasury economic modeller Meghan Quinn said it was not assumed there would be a global climate change deal, only that countries would take action consistent with international pledges they had already made to reduce emissions.
"We take governments at their word when they make international pledges," Ms Quinn said.
"All countries involved in international negotiations recognise they need to take action and are taking steps to achieve that."
But Liberal senator Mathias Cormann and National Party senator Ron Boswell highlighted that Japan, the United States and Canada had put on hold plans to introduce an emissions trading scheme, while Russia had indicated it was not prepared to sign up to a new round of cuts under the Kyoto Protocol.
"We are assuming there are mechanisms in countries [but] that doesn't need to be a specific trading scheme," Ms Quinn replied.
"They too would be best served by a broad-based market mechanism ... if they choose to use other mechanisms ... then that is a product of their political environment."
Meanwhile, the Department of Climate Change told the committee it was now estimated the carbon price scheme would affect only between 400 and 450 companies, fewer than the 500 previously indicated by the federal government.
Department of Climate Change secretary Blair Comley told the committee that the government's decision to remove fuel and also synthetic greenhouse gases from the scheme had cut the number of companies affected.
But he said it was not possible to release the names of the companies affected because the information was confidential.
