I watched the movie Mouth to Mouth which ends with people running, and I remember the ending to my own short story Heaven's Fire which ends with them running, and I think there is something to that, end on running. Like it's a joy of life a celebration of freedom, but it's also running away running away, and in a way that's escapism, or maybe it's running towards something, so it's a greater thing, but running as an ending has always struck me as right and right.
I'm trying to think of other books and movies and short stories that end on running, I'm not sure I do but I know there's some. There has to be some, and I like that idea a lot. Because it leaves so much open, so many things in the future, it's not about an ending, but about something outside of the book/movie/etc, it's about how things keep going on. Maybe I just like running. Not that I've done in two or three years, and not that my memory of it is the memory of running as a teenager and an early twenty something, and now I'm running as an thirty something which makes it different. There is more work involved with running now, it takes patience and skill now, but when I was younger I remember being able to run and spin and circles and run some more and it didn't matter, nothing mattered, everything stopped ceasing to be painful and without meaning when I run and run and run.
What I Talk About, When I Talk About Running by Murakami is the quintessential book for writing and running and I'm trying to remember if Murakami ever ended a novel with a character running and I can't think of it, can't think I've read of one. But that would be perfect for him, just someone running, and running. Rabbit Run I think is the first book I read that ended on running, and I read that book when I was thirteen or so. I remember liking the ending but hating the reason for his running, he was trying to escape from the mess he made of everything else. But at the same time, that ending stuck with me, running and running and runnning.
I think Murakami's and I think about how compares running to writing and there is something there yes yes, but not sure if it's an actual thing or a qualia thing or something else. It's interesting to see the essays in that book, because he moves freely from talking about writing to running, and it's not the usual writing book, it's not him telling wannabe writers do this do that to sell a million books. No, it's just him, talking about his methods and it's always interesting to me to hear other writers talk about their methods because everything is different than how do it. Or I like books that talk about writing in a philosophical sense, and not a lecture sense, like books that try to delve into what makes prose prose and not some book on how to do this how to do that, I fucking hate those books. I'm not that kinda writer.
I'm trying to think of movies that end on running and don't you dare fucking mention Forrest Gump ew god no that hackfest of a schmaltzy film no no no. No feathers flying down to saccharine music and some Tom Hanks sitting there all gumpian with chocolates. No, no, that movie doesn't deserve the ending like that, the running and the running, it doesn't become philosophical then, but something else. Unless I remember wrong and he doesn't end with running. Then fuck yeah that movie deserved the ending it got.

Patrick Leahy - "Leaky Leahy"
Throughout his career, Senator Leahy has been caught leaking sensitive information to the press when doing so benefitted him or hampered his political opponents. Senator Leahy leaked information about a plan to topple Ghadafi, about an intercept related to the Achille Lauro, and about an investigation into the Iran-Contra deals. These leaks eventually caused him to resign his vice-chairmanship of the Senate Intelligence Committee and earned him the nickname "Leaky Leahy".
Achille Lauro leak
In a 1985 television interview, Mr. Leahy, then vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee, disclosed a top-secret communications intercept of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's telephone conversations. The intercept had facilitated the capture of the Arab terrorists who had hijacked the cruise ship Achille Lauro and murdered American citizens. The leak cost the life of at least one Egyptian operative involved in the operation.
Moammar Gadhafi leak
In July 1987, The Washington Times reported that Senator Leahy had disclosed secret information about a 1986 covert operation planned by the Reagan administration to topple Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. Federal intelligence officials told the paper that Senator Leahy had communicated a written threat to expose the operation directly to CIA Director William Casey. A few weeks later, news of the secret plan turned up in The Washington Post, causing it to be aborted.
Iran-Contra leak
In January of 1987, the NBC Nightly News ran a story about a report on the Iran-Contra affair. The report was drafted by the Senate Intelligence Committee. White House officials believed at the time that the report would exonerate President Reagan of involvement in the diversion of profits from the secret Iran arms sales to the Nicaraguan rebels. They hoped that it could limit the damage that the Iran-contra affair was inflicting on the Administration and they were pressing for its release. Democrats on the panel argued that the document was incomplete and not ready for public release. Although the report was not classified, it contained many new details about the Iran-Contra affair and the committee had voted against making it public.
A 6 month investigation followed to determine the source of the leak. On July 28, 1987, Senator Leahy released a statement that he was responsible to the leaked document. Senator Leahy claimed that he had shown the report to John Dancy, an NBC reporter, and allowed him to read sections of the document was to prove that it actually was full of gaps and not ready for release. He also left Mr Dancy alone in his office with the document on his desk.
Resignation from Committee
Senator Leahy resigned from the Senate Intelligence Committee, of which he was Vice-Chair, in January of 1987 after seeing the news story. Senator Leahy claimed that as soon as he saw the story, he called the Committee chairperson and confessed. Senator Leahy expressed anger at himself for allowing a reporter to see the document and noted that his resignation from the committee was already scheduled for July of that year, and he simply accelerated the process due to anger at himself.

Use your fingertips and palm when evaluating the paint surface of your vehicle. You have many more sensory nerves here than on the back of your hand. Avoid rubbing on a dirty or dusty surface as this will create scratches. Clean the surface first, and then let your fingers and palm tell you the condition of the paint. If you have a lot of contaminants on the surface, you will hear an audible dragging noise from the paint.

Hardly imprecise, as it is a correct statement that stands alone.

Scientology holds that there are three parts to Man:First there is the body itself. The body is the organized physical composition or substance of Man, whether living or dead. It is not the being himself.Next, there is the mind, which consists essentially of pictures.Finally, and most importantly, there is the thetan. The thetan is not a thing. It is the creator of things.Of the three parts of Man, the thetan is, obviously, most important. Without the thetan, there would be no mind … [Read more...]

A friend once described me as having "porous boundaries." I would've gone with "selectively permeable," but the idea is basically the same.
The long description linked above is actually a pretty good summary of how I see myself (theoretical, abstract, intellectual, tolerant)--despite the fact that the Myers-Briggs test is pure-cane pseudoscience. I disagree with parts of it, though. I think I experience emotions pretty intensely, even though people tend to think I have none, and I generally empathize with living things. The Lorax was a formative book in my childhood. I'm strongly drawn to movies about impossible love. Another, less preening way of saying all of that is: I'm kind of sensitive.
I care very much about social justice but do too little to promote it. Hot topics: public education, wealth inequity, mass transit.
Reading, thinking about aesthetic objects, thinking about ideas, engaging in philology and creative etymology, finding the humor in most situations.
I'm pretty bad at making small talk, meeting new people in real life, and remembering names (faces, though, I remember very well).
Movies: Mean Girls, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Barry Lyndon, Star Wars, Persona, Weekend, Grosse Pointe Blank, The Cook the Thief His Wife and Her Lover, Aguirre the Wrath of God, Koyaanisqatsi, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Paris Is Burning, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Cave of Forgotten Dreams, The Passion of Joan of Arc, Bring It On, Under the Skin
Music: Ludwig van Beethoven, Igor Stravinsky, Loreena McKennitt, Erasure, Jean Sibelius, Franz Joseph Haydn, Boards of Canada, Steve Reich, Aimee Mann, The New Pornographers, Neutral Milk Hotel, CHVRCHES, Radiohead, Joanna Newsom, Rufus Wainwright, Björk, György Ligeti, early Philip Glass, Antonín Dvořák, Andrew Bird, Neko Case, Béla Bartók, Franz Schubert, Samuel Barber, Vampire Weekend, The National, Pérotin, Fleetwood Mac, Michael Jackson, Sacred Harp, Bulgarian State Vocal Choir, Sade, Sleigh Bells
There are also a few artists who have one or a few tracks I love but wouldn't count as overall favorites: Aphex Twin, Charles Mingus, M.I.A., Beck, Bon Iver, Caroline Shaw, "Jolene"
TV: The Simpsons, The Outs, Battlestar Galactica, Happy Endings, Planet Earth, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Torchwood (Children of Earth especially), Absolutely Fabulous, (most of) Twin Peaks, The IT Crowd, Arrested Development, What's My Line?, Archer
Drum Corps: 1989 Phantom Regiment, 1993 Star, 1995 Cavaliers, 1999 SCV, 2002 Cavaliers, 2004 Bluecoats (I marched this show), 2014 Bluecoats
Stand-up: Louis C.K., Tig Notaro, Maria Bamford, Mike Birbiglia, James Adomian, Gabe Leidman, Miss Coco Peru
Food: Chipotle, Ethiopian, Indian, Japanese, and (at less exalted moments) Arby's. I have recently become possibly the world's biggest fan of fried cheese curds.
Buildings: Kimbell Art Museum (Kahn), Church of Light (Ando), Aqua (Gang), Baker Dormitory (Aalto), Deutsche Post Tower (Jahn), Crown Center (SOM), Villa Savoye (Le Corbusier), Crown Hall (Mies), National Gallery East Building (Pei). Eventually I'll visit them all.
Artists: Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Rogier van der Weyden, Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling, Hans Holbein, Barbara Kruger, Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp, Alberto Giacometti, Sigmar Polke, Sol Lewitt, Eva Hesse, Robert Smithson, Adrian Piper, Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman, Jenny Holzer, Gerhard Richter, Lorna Simpson, Robert Mapplethorpe, George Platt Lynes, Carolee Schneemann, Felix Gonzalez-Torres.
I've started keeping a list of places I hope to visit: Machu Picchu, Tokyo, Istanbul, Berlin, Rome/Florence/Venice, Amsterdam, Delhi, Buenos Aires, Toronto, San Francisco, Reykjavik, Fingal's Cave, Flodden Field, Giza--it's a continuing list.
1. A beach in Washington with tide-pools flushed purple and green, tiny inexplicable bowls of life; 12 years old.
2. My first time seeing a Van Gogh at the Getty; 14 years old.
3. Finals night DCI 2004; my group (The Bluecoats) achieved the highest score we ever had. Leaving the stadium, we were showered with flowers, and I felt like a Roman Gladiator; 19 years old.
4. Seeing the Aurora Borealis as far south as Illinois while I was in college, 2005; 20 years old.
5. Spending a month reading the handwriting of three women who had been dead for 500 years and straining to hear their whispers across the centuries, 2010; 26 years old.
6. Seeing Einstein on the Beach in London, 2012; 28 years old.
More than I want to admit: plot holes in science fiction television.

Dealbreaker: He Didn't Dance
I met Brian*, on OKCupid. He was a handsome blonde with fantastic taste in clothes. Heliked to cook, had a stable, admirable job, and played the ukulele on the side. It was all very cute. And so was he.
I imagined myself dating him for a long time, setting up a little homestead and writing songs together that we would perform and post on YouTube. He thought I was adorable and liked the way I fluttered around his apartment, all energy and smiles. I appreciated his gentle, almost Koala-like nature. It seemed like I had finally, after months of fruitless internet dating, found someone who I could really be serious about.
After about three weeks of drinks and dinners, we decided to do a Saturday night out together. I invited some of my friends to meet us at a local spot that plays decent, reliable pop songs. My friends showed up and immediately hit the floor for Whitney Houston's "How Will I Know." Brian just stood there, shyly smiling. I felt some nerves rise up in my chest.
"What's wrong?" I asked him, kind of worried that my kooky friends were too over the top for his conservative, desert-booted, J. Crew milieu.
"Nothing, you go have fun, I'll just watch."
At first I was mildly creeped out at the idea of him staring at me from a couch 20 feet away, and then it dawned on me: Brian might be the kind of guy who doesn't dance.
"Dance with me?" I tugged his hand and tried to pull him forward, hoping I was wrong.
"No, it's okay – this isn't really my song …"
"Well, what is your song?" I pushed.
"I just don't like to dance!" He finally blurted out.
"Okay," I said, disappointed, "I'll sit with you."
I watched my friends throw down sick moves, krump, laugh, and twirl each other around. We had spent our college years bonding this way, and now, in our 20s, we should be embracing every night out that we still had. I longed to be on that floor with them, flailing my arms.
I began to panic about what the future would look like if I stayed with Brian. We would sit out so many dances together, including my friends' weddings and New Year's Eve. Then we would stop going out at all. Our butts would become one with the couch and our relationship would be one sad ukulele song after another. Soon enough we would grow old and at long last, be physically unable to dance. The thought horrified me, and I knew one thing in that moment: I didn't want to have to sit out another song ever, in my entire life. But maybe Brian could change and learn to love dance. Maybe I could help him.
We sat out the rest of the songs that evening in relative silence. It was too loud in the bar to actually have a conversation, so I drank a vodka tonic out of boredom and we left before midnight. My friends were just getting started.
I tried to coax it out of him the next morning over brunch. I wanted to know what it was about dancing that he didn't like. Maybe he felt he wasn't good at it, or he felt awkward doing it in front of my friends the first time he met them? I gave him plenty of options as to what his excuse could be, and also let him know that dancing was very important to me.
"What about prom?" I asked, "Did you dance at prom?"
His answer was a resounding no. He pushed his eggs around on his plate and let out a long, frustrated sigh.
"Look, I feel silly dancing, and I am self-conscious doing it. It's just not a very manly thing to do," he explained.
My blood began to simmer. I wasn't about to list off all the manly men who are great dancers — Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake, Barack Obama — but I knew right then that no matter how wonderful Brian was, it wasn't going to work out between us. I mean, if he was going to let his un-evolved preconceived notion of gender limit his joy, he wasn't going to be doing it with me by his side. I need to be with a guy who loves to dance, and also doesn't think one activity can determine how "manly" you are. For millions of years, humans of all sexes having been using dance to express themselves – it has nothing to do with genitals, or how cool you look. It just makes you feel good. And frankly, it is one of my favorite things to do EVER. If a guy ain't down to boogie, he ain't getting down with me.
As this crazy universe would have it, two years later I stumbled across a YouTube video of Brian. And he wasn't playing his ukelele, he was performing at a swing dance competition. It turns out that a few months after we broke up, he started taking an interest in the old box step. I like to think that I might have inspired him – or maybe his inner dancer just responded to Big Band music better, but either way, I am just happy he learned that an appreciation of dance has absolutely nothing to do with what what makes you a man.
* Name has been changed.

Once upon a time I stumbled across a fantastic alfredo sauce recipe. My life has never been the same since.
The recipe was already pretty lightened up to begin with, but I'm always looking for new, clever, and sneaky ways to get vegetables brought into the mix.
Ta-da. Pureed cauliflower to the rescue.
To say that this sauce is to-die-for would be a massive understatement. Honestly, I cannot taste the difference between the one with and the one without the added veggies and lighter substitutions that I made.
Guiltless Cauliflower Alfredo Sauce
The Skinny:
Servings: 8 • Size: 1/4 C. Sauce • Calories: 78.9 • Fat: 3 g • Carb: 2.5 g • Fiber: 3.4 g • Protein: 8.7 g • Sugar: 1.3 g • Sodium: 507.2 mg
2 C. Cauliflower, Cooked
1 1/4 C. Fat Free Milk (I use HEB's Mootopia.)
3 Oz. Fat Free Cream Cheese
1 Tbsp. Flour
1 Tsp. Salt
1 Tbsp. Light Butter
3 Garlic Cloves, Minced
1 C. 2% Milk Italian Cheese Blend, Shredded
Place the cauliflower, milk, cream cheese, flour and salt into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat and add in the garlic. Sauté for a few seconds, careful not to burn.
Add the cauliflower mixture to the pan and cook, stirring constantly for 3-4 minutes or until be begins to come to a simmer. Continue to stir, cooking for a few more minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat and add in the cheese. Stir and cover immediately. Let the sauce stand for 10 minutes before using. The sauce will continue to thicken while it sits.

Available in clear lacquer finish as model 189XL.
Brand History
Born Vincent Shrotenbach in Vienna in 1890, he initially received training on violin, but subsequently switched to trumpet when he heard its majestic sound. Although Vincent also displayed a strong aptitude for science and graduated with an engineering degree, he gave up a promising career to pursue his first love and an uncertain future as a musician. Performing under the stage name, Vincent Bach, he established musical success as he toured throughout Europe.
World War I forced Vincent's move to New York City where he arrived with only $5.00 in his pocket. A letter to the famous conductor Karl Muck procured Vincent an audition and a resulting position with the Boston Symphony. By the following season, he was first trumpet in the Metropolitan Opera House. While on tour in Pittsburgh, Vincent's mouthpiece was ruined by a repairman. Vincent had great difficulty in finding a suitable replacement. While on furloughs, he spent time in the basement of the Selmer Music store remodeling old mouthpieces.
In 1918, with the investment of $300 for a foot-operated lathe, Vincent went into the business of making mouthpieces. The business grew rapidly and in 1924, the first Bach trumpets were produced. Musicians frequently referred to a Bach trumpet as a real 'Stradivarius', thus inspiring the name Bach Stradivarius. Bach later added trombones to his line around 1928.
At the age of 71, Vincent sold his company. Although he received twelve other offers, including some that were higher, Vincent chose to sell to the Selmer Company. In 1964, the tooling and machinery for Bach instruments was moved from Mount Vernon to their current home in Elkhart, Indiana. Today, these instruments continue to embody the highest standards of craftsmanship and adhere to Vincent's original designs and blueprints.

There's almost no point describing the premise of Angry Birds. For one, as any parent can attest) a child can work out how to play it in seconds. And for another, the backstory involving green pigs stealing eggs from our justifiably eponymous heroes is, frankly, ridiculous.
But since when were great games about great storylines? Angry Birds' strength isn't in plot or development – almost the only thing that changes as you cycle through the levels (of which there are hundreds, more via updates and even more through various themed editions) are the number, size and shape of your avian slingshot fodder.
That load is hurled at various ramshackle fortresses cobbled together (by the pigs) from wood, stone and glass. Your job is to play the big bad wolf (in bird's clothing), killing the porcine theives who bruise and eventually perish as joists, rocks, fellow pigs, birds – anything, in fact – falls on them.
Kill the pigs, the eggs are returned and you proceed to the next level. Fail and you are subjected to the mocking laughter of green pigs. But it takes more than a goading pig to keep most people coming back for more. That job is left to the undeniably brilliant physics – buildings teeter, wood splinters, glass smashes, rocks crumble and fall, everything bounces – and colourful, engaging gameplay.
Its rapidly-won popularity, to be fair, is probably also down to its accessible difficulty rating. Even the most challenging levels can be brought to a successful conclusion without too much sweat, even if luck does sometimes play a part. Those seeking expert status can aspire to the three-star completions achieved by superior acts of destruction. (If you're really stuck, you can buy a Golden Eagle superbird in-app. Shame on you!)
But as commuter time-killers go, Angry Birds' simple gameplay and rewardingly moreish pattern of ordered chaos and pig death is capable of making us glad when the train is, inevitably, late.

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Attorney General Hardy Myers today announced the conviction of Duc Minh Ta, a former Portland area tobacco distributor, for violations of the state's tobacco tax, racketeering, and money laundering laws. Duc Minh Ta, the former owner and operator of WD Distribution and BC Wholesale & Fixtures, plead guilty in March to Racketeering, Unlawful Distribution of Tobacco Products, Money Laundering, and Rendering A False Tobacco Tax Return in Marion County Circuit Court.
On June 28, Ta was sentenced to serve 16 months in prison and will be required to pay in excess of $800,000 to the Oregon Department of Revenue. Once released from prison, Ta will serve three years of post-prison supervision.
The case was investigated and prosecuted by officials from the Tobacco Compliance Task Force, which includes the Oregon State Police, the Oregon Department of Justice, and the Oregon Department of Revenue. Investigators confirmed that, for several years, Ta illegally purchased untaxed tobacco products from multiple sources, including Lil' Brown Smoke Shack, which is located on the Yakima Indian Reservation in Yakima, Washington. Ta then sold the tobacco to Portland area retailers without reporting and paying the tax owed to the Oregon Department of Revenue in violation of state law.

STATEHOUSE (Sept. 28, 2012) — Senate President Pro Tempore David Long (R-Fort Wayne) today praised State Sen. Carlin Yoder (R-Middlebury) for his outstanding 2012 voting attendance record of 99.5 percent.
"Senator Yoder continues to do a terrific job of representing Hoosiers in Senate District 12, and that's demonstrated through his exemplary voting record," Long said. "He takes his responsibilities as a state lawmaker seriously."
Long added that Yoder's floor votes totaled 369.
"This session, 161 Senate bills moved to the Governor's desk," Long said. "These pieces of legislation represent the people's work, including ensuring workplace freedom, eliminating Indiana's inheritance tax and streamlining college credit transferability."
For the 2012 session, state records show that 158 of the 161 bills that went to the Governor for his signature into law were bipartisan in nature. Of these, 91 bills were unanimous.

Romance Languages
Students may complete a major in romance languages.
Grace M. Armstrong, E. M. Schenck 1907 Professor of French
Nicholas Patruno, Professor of Italian
María Cristina Quintero, Professor of Spanish
The Departments of French, Italian and Spanish cooperate in offering a major in romance languages that requires advanced work in at least two romance languages and literatures. Additional work in a third language and literature is suggested.
Major Requirements
The requirements for the major are a minimum of nine courses, including the Senior Conference or Senior Essay, described below, in the first language and literature (if Italian is chosen as the first language, only eight courses are required) and six courses in the second language and literature, including the Senior Conference in French. Students should consult with their advisers no later than their sophomore year in order to select courses in the various departments that complement each other.
The following sequence of courses is recommended when the various languages are chosen for primary and secondary concentration, respectively (see the departmental listings for course descriptions).
First Language and Literature
French 101-102 or 101-105; 103-105 or 103-102.
Four courses chosen among: French 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 213, 216, 248, 250 251, 252, 255 or 299.
French 212 or 260.
Two other courses at the 300 level.
Italian 101, 102.
Italian 201 or 205.
Italian 207 or 301.
Italian 303 or 304.
Two other literature courses at the 200 or 300 level.
Spanish 110 or 120.
Spanish 206.
Four courses at the 200 level.
Two courses at the 300 level.
Second Language and Literature
French 101-102 or 101-105; 103-105 or 103-102.
Two literature courses at the 200 level.
French 212 or 260.
One other course at the 300 level.
Italian 101, 102.
Italian 201 or 205.
Italian 207 or 301.
One other literature course at the 200 or 300 level.
Spanish 110 or 120.
Spanish 204 or 206.
Two courses at the 200 level.
Two courses at the 300 level.
In addition to the coursework described above, when the first language and literature is Spanish, majors in romance languages must enroll in Spanish 398 (Senior Seminar). When French is chosen as either the first or second language, students must take one semester of the Senior Conference in French in addition to the coursework described above. When Italian is chosen, students must either select an additional literature course in Italian at the 200 or 300 level or take Italian 399, offered in consultation with the department. An oral examination (following the current model in the various departments) may be given in one or both of the two languages, according to the student's preference, and students follow the practice of their principal language as to written examination or thesis.
Interdepartmental courses at the 200 or 300 level are offered from time to time by the cooperating departments. These courses are conducted in English on such comparative romance topics as epic, romanticism or literary vanguard movements of the 20th century. Students should be able to read texts in two of the languages in the original.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has put disability care at the centre of her government's re-election strategy, announcing a tax rise to pay for Labor's new scheme.
But Opposition Leader Tony Abbott may try to thwart her ambition by agreeing to support legislation for her proposed hike in the Medicare levy in this parliamentary term.
Treasurer Wayne Swan says Labor will wait for the coalition's support because the government is unsure it can gain the backing of the Australian Greens and independent MPs for the levy.
Ms Gillard reversed her opposition to a tax hike on Wednesday, saying she would seek voter approval at the September 14 election to impose a 0.5 percentage point rise in the levy to fund DisabilityCare Australia.
The levy increase to two per cent would cost the average wage earner about $1 a day and go into a special fund that would collect about $20 billion by the time the disability scheme is fully operational in 2018/19.
Ms Gillard said Australians "embraced" a Labor request 30 years ago to pay a levy to fund the Medicare universal health scheme.
"I'm asking Australians to do the same thing with DisabilityCare," she told reporters in Melbourne.
Ms Gillard's change of heart follows a $12 billion drop in government revenue, pressures on state budgets, and disability-sector demands for a long-term funding source.
The levy would raise about $3.2 billion of the $8 billion annual cost of the scheme, with the remainder coming from federal budget savings and the states and territories. But there will be no changes to the disability support pension in the May budget.
The treasurer says the levy will fund around 60 per cent of the scheme at the end of 10 years with the shortfall to be paid for by cuts and savings in the budget.
Mr Abbott initially challenged the prime minister to bring on the legislation for the levy hike before parliament rises in June, but signalled the coalition would not offer immediate support.
But he later added he would have more to say on Thursday, paving the way for talks on the legislation, possibly to head off any criticism of the coalition's stance.
"I want everyone to know that the coalition wholeheartedly supports the national disability insurance scheme," Mr Abbott told reporters in rural Victoria.
"We want it to happen and we want it to happen in this term of government."
Mr Swan says the support of the Greens and independents for the proposed levy increase is not guaranteed.
"Let's see if we have that support, I don't know that," he told ABC television.
Ms Gillard says she doesn't want the scheme to turn into a "political plaything".
Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey appeared to reject the levy proposal earlier on Wednesday, saying it would hurt business and damage consumer confidence.
"This levy is going to hit every household budget," he told ABC radio.
Ms Gillard concedes that asking households to pay more tax won't be easy, but the government believes most will agree that a universal scheme is needed for Australians born disabled or who become so later in life.
The disability care scheme will be launched in parts of South Australia, NSW, Tasmania, Victoria and the ACT in July 2014, but only NSW has signed up to a full state-wide launch from 2018.

Theocracy means literally 'the rule of God' and the term was invented by Josephus (ad 38-c. 100) to describe the ancient Hebrew constitution and the role of Mosaic law. However, if you do not literally believe that the law has been handed down by God on tablets of stone, it may be difficult to accept theocracies on their own terms.– Lincoln Allison
I make this small post to introduce an idea. Allow me to introduce you to a word which has greatly captivated my imagination of late, THEOCRACY.

Newest Entry in the Acclaimed American Experience
Presidents Collection Profiles the 42nd President
From draft dodging to the Dayton Accords, from Monica Lewinsky to a balanced budget, the presidency of William Jefferson Clinton veered between sordid scandal and grand achievement. In Clinton, the latest installment in the critically acclaimed and successful collection of presidential biographies, American Experience explores the fascinating story of an American president who rose from a turbulent childhood in Arkansas to become one of the most successful politicians in modern American history and one of the most complex and conflicted characters ever to stride across the public stage. It recounts a career full of accomplishment and rife with scandal, a marriage that would make history and create controversy, and a presidency that would define the crucial and transformative period between the fall of the Berlin Wall and 9/11. It follows Clinton across his two terms as he confronted some of the key forces that would shape the future, including partisan political warfare and domestic and international terrorism, and struggled, with uneven success, to define the role of American power in a post-Cold War world. Most memorably, it explores how Clinton's conflicted character made history, even as it enraged his enemies and confounded his friends. American Experience "Clinton" airs in two parts on Tuesday, May 8, 2012 at 7 p.m. and Tuesday, May 15, 2012 at 7 p.m. on Eight.
Clinton features unprecedented access to scores of Clinton insiders including White House Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers, White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum, former White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta (current Secretary of Defense), former Senator Trent Lott, Deputy Chief of Staff Harold Ickes, as well as interviews with dozens of journalists, members of the Republican opposition, childhood friends, staffers from Clinton's years as Governor of Arkansas, and biographers.

Episode Descriptions
Part 1: "The Comeback Kid"
"The Comeback Kid" follows Bill Clinton's bumpy road to the 1992 presidential victory, an amazing triumph over repeated scandals and setbacks, through the first two years of his presidency.
From the political backwaters of Arkansas, Bill Clinton emerges as a political force unlike any seen on the national stage in a generation. Overcoming a troubled upbringing marred by alcoholism and violence, Clinton is determined from the start to succeed, first in Arkansas, then at Georgetown, Oxford and finally Yale. There he meets a young woman named Hillary Rodham who shares his intellect and idealism. Together they forge a marriage and political partnership that takes them to the Arkansas governor's mansion and ultimately the White House, an election Clinton wins despite a campaign repeatedly under siege by allegations ranging from draft dodging to womanizing.
Although they have won the presidency, the Clintons have not yet won the country. Despite all of their education and experience, the Clintons are unprepared for politics in Washington, which quickly descends into open warfare with the Republican establishment and much of the media. The tumultuous first two years of the Clinton presidency see the beginning of the Whitewater scandal, the shocking death of Deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster, and the humiliating defeat of Hillary's healthcare bill. Although the administration has its domestic successes, troubles brewing in the remote countries of Somalia and Rwanda and the arrival of a new and formidable rival named Newt Gingrich threaten to derail the Clinton presidency before it ever gets off the ground. When Republicans gain control of Congress in the midterm elections, the entire political landscape shifts to the right, leaving Clinton seemingly bereft of power.
Part 2: "The Survivor"
Shattered by the 1994 Republican victory, Clinton begins to sideline his most trusted advisors in favor of an aggressive political consultant named Dick Morris, who uses extensive polling to diagnose the administration's weaknesses and develop strategies to correct them. The Republican "Contract with America" is riding high and by spring of 1995, Gingrich and his allies select the ground on which to wage their war: a plan to eliminate the federal budget deficit by drastically cutting Medicare and Medicaid. The plan leads to a government shutdown and slowly the tide begins to turn toward the president, who reclaims the political center with a stream of new initiatives that will curb big government and appeal to middle class families. Clinton wins the 1996 election in a landslide, pulling off one of the greatest turnarounds in political history. But events have been set in motion that will soon divide the country and nearly destroy Clinton's presidency.
Clinton sails buoyantly into his second term: times are good, the economy is booming, and American prestige and power internationally are at an all-time high. Clinton's dream of repairing the breach with Republicans seems within reach. But Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky — a White House intern — becomes public after she confides in a co-worker named Linda Tripp. The ensuing scandal gives Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr the ammunition he needs to recharge his stalled investigation of the Whitewater affair. Congress initiates impeachment hearings, but the Republican leadership fails to remove Clinton from office. And when Starr's damning report is finally released, the ire of the American public is focused more on the independent counsel than the president. Although Clinton survives the ordeal, confounding both his enemies and friends, he fails to reclaim the drive and zeal with which he began his presidency.

Programming 'accident' caused Heartbleed bug
A German software programmer who has taken responsibility for the "Heartbleed" bug affecting millions of online passwords has said that he inserted the encryption glitch into code accidentally.
Robin Seggelmann said in a blog that the problem had occurred while he was working on fixing problems in OpenSSL, a popular open-source software that helps to encrypt data.
The programmer, now employed by a division of Deutsche Telekom, had worked on OpenSSL while studying at a university in Münster. He said that the faulty code was not meant to be malicious.
The US government said that hackers were trying to exploit the Heartbleed bug in targeted attacks by scanning networks to determine if they were vulnerable. It has asked organisations to report any Heartbleed-related attacks to…

Twenty or thirty years ago, Costa Rica was almost unknown as a tourist destination. All of that has changed, and about a million visitors flock to the country each year. Some people might think that these arriving hoardes would create chaos and unpleasantness at the airport. But as the Tico Times reports, Costa Rica's main airport, Juan Santamaría, has been named the third best airport in Latin America for the second year in a row.
The airport has been completely remodeled, a project that finished in 2010. It is now sleek and very modern. Immigration lines, never very much fun for the arriving passenger, are almost pleasant at the Juan Santamaría airport, because arriving passengers gather in a light-filled space with lively murals. Departing passengers can do last-minute shopping at several well-stocked gift shops. And everyone can have a last-minute cup of Costa Rican coffee before boarding the airplane.
The Sleep Inn provides free shuttle service to and from the Juan Santamaría airport. The drivers are friendly and very professional, and the Sleep Inn van is speedy and very clean.

Serena Williams steamrolled Samantha Stosur 6-1, 6-1 on Saturday to reach the final of the WTA tour's green clay Charleston tournament.
Williams needed just 59 minutes to subdue the second-seeded Australian, who beat the American in the US Open final last September but has now lost to her twice in two events.
Williams, seeded fifth, improved to 6-3 overall against Stosur, including a straight-sets victory in Miami 11 days ago in which Williams fired 20 aces.
Williams had a relatively sedate seven aces on Saturday. She saved both break points she faced and broke Stosur five times as the Australian failed in a bid to become just the eighth player to beat both Williams sisters in the same tournament.
Stosur defeated Venus Williams in the quarter-finals to spoil the chance of an all-Williams semi.
Serena Williams awaits the winner of the second semi-final between ninth-seeded Czech Lucie Safarova and 14th-seeded Polona Hercog of Slovenia.
Hercog, who surprised third-seeded Marion Bartoli in the third round, advanced Friday with a victory over 2006 Charleston champ Nadia Petrova.
The victory over Bartoli, ranked seventh in the world, was number 38-ranked Hercog's first career victory over a top-10 opponent.
The 21-year-old owns one career WTA title, but is in the semi-finals of one of the WTA's premier level events for the first time.

Agreed. I've been pretty horrified every time I've tried to dry my hands at Noisebridge in the last 2 years. We might or might not actually wash the hand towels given the chance, but I can guarantee that we will continue to not wash the handtowels if we don't have a washer. -andy

Why is the agency that provides benefits to retirees, disabled workers, widows and children stockpiling ammunition? Whom are they going to use it on?
"It's not outlandish to suggest that the Social Security Administration is purchasing the bullets as part of preparations for civil unrest," the website Infowars.com said.
Another website, The Daily Caller, said the bullets must be for use against American citizens, "since the SSA has never been used overseas to help foreign countries maintain control of their citizens."
The clamor became such a distraction for the agency that it dedicated a website to explaining the purchase. The explanation, it turns out, isn't as tantalizing as an arms buildup to defend against unruly senior citizens.
The bullets are for Social Security's office of inspector general, which has about 295 agents who investigate Social Security fraud and other crimes, said Jonathan L. Lasher, the agency's assistant IG for external relations.
The agents carry guns and make arrests — 589 last year, Lasher said. They execute search warrants and respond to threats against Social Security offices, employees and customers.
Agents carry .357 caliber pistols, Lasher said. The bullets, which add up to about 590 per agent, are for the upcoming fiscal year. Most will be expended on the firing range.
Why Does Social Security Need 174,000 Bullets?

The Bay of Pigs took place in April of 1961 and the details, as I remember them, are like this:
We were told around the beginning of April that they wanted to use the [USS] Independence to put on an air show for President Kennedy and since most of us from the detachment were still in the Squadron, they were going to use Det 41-60 for that. We left Norfolk on the Independence heading south and we thought we were going to pick up the President in Jacksonville. It kept getting warmer and warmer as we went south and Jax just isnÆt that warm in early April. So we didnÆt know what was going on except that we were a lot further south than Jax.
Also we werenÆt doing any flight operationsŚsupposedly so all the aircraft needed for the air show would be up and available for the show. We were even all issued new flight deck jerseys so weÆd look good for the President. Then they told us that the air show had been cancelled but we didnÆt head back north. I remember a note in the daily bulletin with the Plan of the Day that we shouldnÆt speculate on where we were in our letters homeŚsort of a strange note. We had a fair amount of other ships along with us as we headed south; it wasnÆt just us and our plane guard destroyers.
I canÆt remember the specific dates but one day around 1600 we had a detachment meeting and LCDR Barrow, our OIC, told us that we were going to paint our aircraft; we didnÆt understand why since they looked pretty good (we had painted all of them on our Med cruise). Then we found out how we were going to paint them; we needed to paint out all the English language markings and we were going to have help painting them. They mostly needed the detachment personnel to mask off anything like static ports and such that shouldnÆt be painted. As I recall one of the aircraft got painted that night on the flight deck in a very short time with help from some other squadrons and even some of the shipÆs company. The other two were painted the next day.
Since the numbers had been painted out we painted Roman numerals in the wheel wells I, II, III. And when they needed to be moved the announcements over the flight deck loud speakers referred to them as Gray Ghost one, two, or three. The air group started flight ops again, but the detachment wasnÆt doing any flying. Another very interesting thing: about half the aircraft parked on the flight deck were armed with conventional weapons (no nukes) and they were just parked and not flying.
We got the word that all three of our aircraft were going on a mission and all three took off. As I recall our pilots even took their name tags off their flight suits and one of our pilots had extra ammunition for his survival pistol; he looked like Pancho Villa with two belts of ammo crisscrossed across his chest.
When the aircraft returned the camera magazines were unloaded as quick as possible (they were taking them out while the aircraft were taxiing forward to parkŚand we were the first 3 aircraft to land. I was helping the plane captain for one of the aircraft and got a look at the pilots map on his kneeboard as he handed his equipment down from the cockpit and it looked like a map of Cuba with a red line heading east and west on it. IÆm guessing, but IÆm pretty sure the 3 aircraft did a photo recon of a good part of Cuba.
It was shortly after that that we heard about the Bay of Pigs invasion. And it was after that that we collided with an ammunition ship (canÆt remember its name) while refueling at night. Not long after that we headed back to Norfolk. [Update 4/21/2012: The ship in question was the USS Diamondhead. She came in at our aft portside lifeboat sponson as we separated from a tanker, I think it was the Neosho, after a night refueling operation. ---Ron Liston]
ThatÆs what I remember. You can search the internet and find quite a lot about the Bay of Pigs invasion, but almost nothing about the US Navy being close by. IÆve always thought we were there to provide support to the invading forces but then, for whatever reason, they decided not to.
I knew (donÆt remember how I found out) that some VFP-62 personnel had been awarded the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal for ōClandestine operations in the Caribbean,ö but have no idea if Det 41-60 was involved or what dates were involved.
Frank W. Schrader
Webmaster's Note: The USS Independence (CVA 62) was awarded the Navy Expeditionary Service Medal for the period 19 Apr 1961 thru 29 Apr 1961.

Don't mix business and pleasure.
I am always intrigued by the answer to this question "Who built your website?" and the all too common answer "Oh, this guy I know built it for me…"
The follow up question – "how's your website working for you?" (cue sharp intake of breath from small business owner and a look of embarrassment at their current online offering). Why is this? Why not fix it? The answer is simple; it's always difficult to properly critique the efforts of a friend, relative, or the friendly web developer down the road you met down the pub.
You probably choose them because they were doing you a favour, saving you some money, getting your website knocked up quickly and now you're stuck with an online shop front that doesn't look very good and worse still, doesn't work hard for you in driving traffic that could convert into valuable new customers.
The proliferation of what I call 'web-co'; thousands of independent, one man band web designers who in the mid to late 2000's created a huge graveyard of poorly built, horrifically designed websites which fester like relics in time. What's more, the huge variations in service level, price and quality has left thousands of small business owners skeptical over whether they should ever trust a web designer again.
Does this sound like you?
Unfortunately in this increasingly digital world, your online presence is not something you should leave to chance. You need to work closely with a reputable web design company which has the expertise to help you build and manage your online brand, ensuring potential customers can quickly identify with your business and reach out to contact with an intention of making a purchase.
Here are my top tips to make sure you aren't left with a new relic for the online graveyard:
- Check out some of their recent work, do you like the style of website they build?
- Does the web developers own website look any good?
- How do they rate on Google reviews?
- Do they use open source platforms for development such as WordPress? Important if you do ever want to move to another web development agency.
Don't fall foul of the 'guy down the road' trap. Obey the good old rule to never mix business and pleasure.
Creares Advice Centre is full of helpful tips, tricks and advice to help your business succeed online. Take a read here.

I love my boss.
She is completely jazzed about the fact that I teach in a round-table format. In fact, I sometimes look up to see her lurking outside my classroom door and listening in on what's going on in our class conversations, and she mentioned yesterday that she wants to audit my senior level class next year.
I found out the other day that one of the ways in which my boss is supporting my teaching practice is that she's calling around to other Harkness schools and asking if they're planning on doing any renovations or upgrades and, if they are, do they have a table they're willing to donate.
We're moving into a new space for next school year, and I'd love nothing more to have a giant table at which we can all sit and share ideas!

As Arizona comes looking for revenge, Oregon needs to guard its record
Are the Oregon Ducks playing their best football? No.
Are they expected to go undefeated in the Pacific-10 Conference? Definitely not.
Are they ready to play Arizona? Yes.
Something about 63 points scored and 607 yards offense last year at Tucson, Ariz., can make anybody feel confident. The Ducks, after a competitive start, destroyed the Wildcats on an evening in which two backs topped 100 yards, speedster Samie Parker had his bust-out game with 160 yards receiving and Oregon could have scored 80 with the first-team offense.
'Even I got in there for a while,' Ducks QB Jason Fife says.
You think Arizona remembers the embarrassment?
'They're going to be thinking about it and wanting revenge,' Fife says. 'I'm not expecting a blowout by any means.'
The Wildcats, who lost 31-10 to Wisconsin last week, get their shot at the No. 8 Ducks on Oct. 5, but they first have to play North Texas on Saturday. The Ducks have the weekend off, giving them 12 days of preparation.
Playing in the Pac-10 assuredly will be like running the rapids on the Deschutes River, navigating Interstate 5 North at 5 p.m. or sky diving over the Willamette Valley: treacherous, aggravating and exhilarating. Ten teams have combined to go 26-8, including unbeaten Oregon (4-0) and Oregon State (4-0).
The Ducks have not performed to their potential Ñ potential based on their dream of going 13-0 and winning the national title. But the defense and kicking game have been solid and offense good enough to average 40 points.
A much-improved defensive line controls the line of scrimmage, allowing Oregon's excellent set of tacklers Ñ David Moretti, Kevin Mitchell, Garret Graham, Keith Lewis Ñ to reach ball carriers unimpeded and blitz relentlessly. So far, the new defensive backs Ñ Steven Moore, Aaron Gipson Ñ have not given up big plays.
'We pitched a shutout and we can honestly say we can get better at things,' Lewis says, after Saturday's 41-0 win over Portland State. 'This should scare a lot of teams in the Pac-10. Our defense has the potential to be the best in Oregon history.'
Moore and Gipson haven't been tested, as they will be in the Pac-10. 'We're concerned about our DBs,' Lewis says, 'but as we go through practice, they get better. We haven't seen too much height or speed, but our DBs are playing with great confidence.'
Running back Onterrio Smith has been targeted and contained, and two weeks off will help him get healthy. He has 467 yards and seven TDs, averaging 4.7 yards per carry Ñ decent numbers, but not what people expected, what with Idaho and Portland State on the schedule.
The Ducks want to use speedy Allan Amundson but haven't given him meaningful time other than split out to catch passes. Parker has emerged as one of the Pac-10's best receivers, while Keenan Howry has been conspicuous without his own breakout game.
Fife hasn't been consistent, sailing throws at times, fumbling two balls and still not getting in sync with Howry. Fife has 880 yards, eight TDs and only one pick, but his 54-percent completion rate must improve. What he does well is make plays with his arm and legs.
'I am doing enough to help the team win,' he says. 'At the same time, I'm a little greedy. I want to make plays, and don't want doubt in anybody's mind we're going to score when we get in the red zone.'
Bellotti sums up the Ducks after four games: 'We haven't suffered any major injuries to starters. We have a degree of confidence. There's a degree of hunger we need to regain or capture.'

"These were really easy to make and I love that it's a smaller recipe (only 6 biscuits). Although, I do have to agree with a below comment that they were a little bland. I used unsalted butter so next time I would either use salted butter or up the salt to 1/2 tsp."
