Malevolence: Sword of Ahkranox public beta is live!
February 4th, 2013, 03:00
For the dungeon crawlers out there - the Malevolence: Sword of Ahkranox beta is now open to the public. You can download the game directly from their
or get the
official torrent
. The only thing you can't do in the demo mode is save your game. Kickstarter backers and pre-orders have full access to saving.
I've been playing around with it today (I backed the Kickstarter), and it's pretty fun so far. The game can be brutal - so you've got to be careful when crawling through the dungeons. There are lots of traps and some of them are insta-kill. Luckily there is a way to detect and disarm traps if you're careful. I like that there are also secret doors to be found. Still figuring out how things work
The game world is infinite and heavily uses procedural content creation. I think of it as a mix of Dungeon Hack, Might & Magic, roguelikes, and Elder Scrolls (Daggerfall especially). Movement is step / grid-based like M&M / Wizardry / Grimrock, though you can free-look around with the mouse. Combat is turn-based.
The game is still a bit rough around the edges. In particular some of the graphics / fonts don't scale very well to different resolutions. Hopefully this is improved in a later bit of polish. But the core gameplay is intact and I'm having fun with it.

A.J. Foyt team receives penalty for the size of the fuel tank size
Mike Conway took A. J. Foyt's ABC Supply Honda to their first podium of 2012 in the Honda Indy Toronto at Exhibition Place on Sunday.
Today the team's jubilation has been tempered by the announcement from INDYCAR, sanctioning body of the IZOD IndyCar series, that they have been penalized and fined for a fuel cell that failed the post-race inspection.
The No. 14 entry fined $15,000 and penalized 10 entrant points for not complying with Rule 14.7.2.
This rule is: 14.7.2 Fuel System (Updated March 15, 2012 via Bulletin) and gives the maximum capacity of the fuel cell as 18.5 U.S. Gallons.
"We felt the discrepancy in the size of the fuel tank was enough that it potentially could have provided a track position advantage and the penalty is reflective of that," said Will Phillips, vice president of technology, INDYCAR.
The team has the option to appeal the penalty as provided for in the protest and appeal procedures of the IZOD IndyCar Series Rulebook.

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly and Battery Park City Authority Chairman James Gill today honored Sgt. Keith A. Ferguson, Detective Robert L. Parker, Detective Patrick H. Rafferty and Police Officer William Rivera at a ceremony at the New York City Police Memorial in Battery Park City. Their names were inscribed on the memorial wall.
"Today we add the names of four of New York's Finest to the memorial wall to ensure that they will forever be remembered for their bravery," said Mayor Bloomberg. "Sgt. Ferguson, Detectives Parker and Rafferty and Police Officer Rivera all exhibited a fearless dedication to protecting their fellow New Yorkers and helped keep New York the safest big city in the nation."
"Today we pay the highest tribute possible to four of the Department's very best," said Commissioner Kelly. "By adding their names to the Memorial Wall, we ensure that anyone visiting here in the future will be reminded of all of those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that countless New Yorkers and visitors could have better, safer lives."
On January 31, 2004, Sergeant Keith A. Ferguson, 38, a 17-year veteran assigned the Emergency Service Squad 7 collapsed while running to assist fellow officers in the apprehension of a fleeing suspect in downtown Manhattan. He was transported to St. Vincent's Hospital, where he died a short time later as a result of cardiac arrest. Sergeant Ferguson joined the NYPD on January 20, 1987 and began his career on patrol in the 1st Precinct. He was promoted to Detective in September of 1990 and Sergeant in October of 1998. He also served in Field Training Unit 3, the 67th Precinct, the Narcotics Division, Auto Crime Division, and the Emergency Service Unit (ESU). At the time of his death, Sergeant Ferguson was a member of the elite Hercules Team, a citywide counter-terrorism unit.
Sergeant Ferguson interrupted his NYPD service in 1997 to travel to Bosnia for one year to help establish a civilian police force in the aftermath of unrest in that country. Sergeant Ferguson's hobbies included motorcycling and traveling the world. Born in Brooklyn, Sergeant Ferguson is survived by his father Victor, a retired NYPD Officer, mother Sonia Cunningham-Hendriks and brother Laird.
On September 10, 2004, Detective Robert L. Parker and his partner, Detective Patrick H. Rafferty, of the 67th Detective Squad, were shot and killed while attempting to arrest a career criminal on domestic violence charges. Although mortally wounded, Detective Parker was able to identify the gunman to a 911 operator. He also directed the dispatcher to a mug shot of the killer located on the dashboard of their police vehicle. Detective Rafferty, who was also mortally wounded, managed to shoot and wound the gunman. These actions assisted in the capture of the killer in less than two hours.
Detective Parker, 43, was appointed to the Department on January 25, 1982, and began his career on patrol in Neighborhood Stabilization Unit 13 in the 81st Precinct. He also served in the Brooklyn North Task Force and the Narcotics Division. He was promoted to Detective in 1987, the same year he was assigned to the 67th Detective Squad where he remained until the time of his death. He made over 500 arrests during his career and was promoted to Detective 2nd Grade in 2000 and posthumously promoted to Detective First Grade. Prior to fulfilling his childhood dream of becoming a detective, Detective Parker attended John Jay College and wrestled in a semi professional league under the name Bootsie Parker. Detective Parker who resided in Brooklyn, is survived by his former spouse Loretta Davis, daughter Haadiyah Davis and first cousin Dorothy Thompson.
Detective Rafferty, 39, was appointed to the Department on July 5, 1989 and began his career on Patrol in Midtown Precinct North. He also served in Midtown Precinct South, the 9th Precinct, the Street Crime Unit and the PBQS Anti-Crime Unit. He was transferred to the 67th Detective Squad in 1999, the same year he was promoted to Detective. Detective Rafferty was a consummate family man, attended the University of Central Florida and earned a BA in Criminal Justice. He also had a great love for the outdoors, was an avid hunter and enjoyed family camping trips to the Adirondack Mountains. Det. Rafferty, who made over 400 arrests during his career, was also posthumously promoted to Detective First Grade. He resided in Suffolk County and is survived by his wife Eileen and their three children Kara, Kevin and Emma, his mother Joan and five siblings, Kevin, Brian, Dennis, Henry and Colleen Albanese.
On October 2, 2004, Police Officer William Rivera, 35, a 12-year veteran assigned to the 78th Precinct, was pursuing a suspect in Brooklyn when he fell from the rooftop of a commercial business. The fall resulted in serious injuries to his legs and back. Officer Rivera underwent several surgeries to repair the damage. Almost eight weeks later on November 24, Officer Rivera suffered a seizure due to a blood clot that traveled from his leg to his lungs. He died a short time thereafter.
Police Officer Rivera joined the NYPD on Jun 30, 1992. He began his career in the 79th Precinct where he served with distinction for his entire career. He earned several commendations for his work and made over 260 arrests during the course of his career. Police Officer Rivera is survived by his five-year-old daughter Amanda Marie, mother Aurelia, sisters Margie and Evelyn, and fiancé Police Officer Rebecca Rodriguez.
The Police Memorial is dedicated to New York City Police Officers killed in the line of duty; the memorial serves as a symbol of their life and death. There are more than 600 names inscribed on its wall. The design is composed of two distinct parts in which water is used as a metaphor in both. A fountain and a flume represent the life of a police officer. The death of the Police Officer is commemorated in an outdoor room defined by two parallel granite walls and depressed thirty inches below the esplanade.

Rihanna Got A New Underboob Tattoo
Here's Rihanna walking out of a tattoo shop in London last night where she apparently decided to honor her late grandmother by getting a tattoo of the Goddess Isis directly beneath her boobs. Because if there's one thing the elderly love, it's having the man who brutally beat your granddaughter go, "Damn, your titties always have a tattoo?" right before he's still allowed to have sex with her because her own father was abusive and that's all she knows. It's better than a tombstone.

FROG Home - Academic Conduct - Establishing Expectations for Student Conduct
Establishing Expectations for Student Conduct
An important first step for faculty in the process of evaluating students is to establish an atmosphere in which all students have the opportunity to learn without distraction. As representatives of the University, faculty have the authority, and the responsibility, to establish expectations for academic conduct that allows all students to learn equitably and effectively. Although students are entitled to free expression, this freedom must be balanced against the right of all students to a productive learning environment. To establish an atmosphere where students can learn and have that learning assessed equitably, instructors may forbid conduct that distracts other students and/or interferes with their ability to teach, including such things as:
- use of cell phones, pagers, music or video players
- loud talking or whispering
- eating and drinking
- overly distracting dress or behavior
You cannot limit students' first amendment right to free expression, but the right to a productive learning environment takes priority. So, for example, you could ban a student who comes naked to class or wearing another costume meant to distract you and other students, but you can't ban a student from wearing an earring in their nose or lip or a very short miniskirt simply because you don't like that style or find it disrespectful.
When students violate the rules that have been established to promote learning, you may ask them to stop their disruptive behavior or leave the class. (From the Student Conduct Code, WAC 478-120-020 (5): An instructor has the authority to exclude a student from any class session in which the student is disorderly or disruptive.)
You must make exceptions for students for whom Disability Resources for Students has identified accommodations (for example, a pregnant woman or a diabetic might need to eat in your class), and you may not use such behavior as a criterion to determine a student's grade without granting the student the right to due process.

How to Make Budgets and Politics a Less Toxic Mix: Clive CrookClive Crook
Feb. 8 (Bloomberg) -- It has come to something when the International Monetary Fund, that stone-faced inspector of fiscal rectitude, advises governments to go easy on austerity.
The IMF's budgetary advice usually selects from three options: raise taxes, cut public spending, or raise taxes and cut public spending. Here's what it said in its Jan. 24 Fiscal Monitor. (Don't let the sparkling prose sway you unduly.) "Continued adjustment...should ideally occur at a pace that supports adequate growth in output and employment. Given the large adjustment already in train this year, governments should avoid responding to any unexpected downturn in growth by further tightening policies...as long as financing is available and sustainability concerns permit. Countries with enough fiscal space, including some in the euro area, should reconsider the pace of near-term adjustment."
To followers of IMF pronouncements, that's pretty startling. It makes you wonder just how bad things are. Quite bad, actually. Last week's new-jobs figures showed the U.S. economy gathering a little momentum, but the recovery is still pitifully slow and the circumstances holding it back -- a flattened housing market, over-indebted households and anxious consumers -- haven't gone away. And there's no good news from Europe. Most forecasters expect it to slip back into a recession this year.
The Credibility Gap
Here's the point: Fiscal policy could be helping, but mostly isn't. In the U.S., the stimulus is gone and Congress is reluctant to extend it. There's room for stimulus in Germany and other countries, but they have decided not to use it. The U.K. chose too much austerity too soon; it has clobbered growth and has put fiscal stability further out of reach.
The IMF's prescription is right: short-term fiscal accommodation where possible, and long-term restraint where necessary (which is almost everywhere). The question is, why is such advice even necessary? Why is getting fiscal policy right so hard?
The underlying problem is always the same: credibility. A severe recession pushes public debt higher. Governments need to allow this, but within limits. Some of the increase in public borrowing is self-correcting. Recessions automatically suppress tax revenue and increase spending on unemployment benefits as well as other safety-net programs. This unwinds when the recovery comes. Governments then add discretionary stimulus, which may or may not be temporary. They have to convince lenders that they will deal with this increase in borrowing later.
Today's discretionary stimulus, however, means higher taxes or lower public spending someday. Governments can leave their successors to pick up the pieces. Lenders know the same thing might happen again -- the next government leaves tax increases and spending cuts to its own successors. And so on. This expectation shrinks the fiscal space, as the IMF calls it, and the crunch comes sooner than anybody thought.
That's the bind. Governments have to convince lenders this isn't going to happen.
Say "credibility" to an economist and he thinks "rules." Governments should force themselves (or their successors) to do the right thing. Lately, fiscal rules have been catching on. According to the IMF, 80 countries have some kind of budget rule -- up from seven in 1990.
Their record is mixed. In the U.S., the 1985 Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act rule was soon subverted; a later version worked better, then fell into abeyance. The European Union's Stability and Growth Pact was a failure. With great fanfare, Europe has just agreed to a new rule, much like the old one. Whether this works any better, we will find out. All these instances show the trouble with rules: If you don't like them, you can ignore them.
Austerity's Ugly Politics
Some countries are trying another approach, instead of --or in addition to -- a rule. Edge fiscal policy out of the political arena by telling an independent council or commission to come up with answers, or at least referee the discussion. In some places, this has worked fairly well: in Sweden, for instance.
But you need consensus for this to succeed. Where politics is so polarized that consensus looks impossible, as in the U.S., it's hard to make an independent commission work. The Bowles-Simpson commission did a fine job, then failed for lack of political support. The biggest mistake of Barack Obama's presidency, in my view, has been to let that failure happen.
In the end, though, the details of fiscal policy cannot, and should not, be taken out of politics. If democracy means anything, the nuts and bolts of taxes and spending -- choices about who gets what, who pays for what and how big the government should be -- are the proper realm of politics. Those questions, as I say, are irreducibly ideological. But the macroeconomic aspects of budget policy -- debts and deficits -- are in a different category. Perhaps, with a little ingenuity, they could be distanced somewhat from politics, and to good effect.
Imagine an independent agency whose mandate is fiscal stability. It would be the fiscal equivalent of the central bank. Suppose that agency had one, and only one, sufficiently powerful and flexible instrument: a national sales tax, say. It could cut this tax in recessions to provide short-term stimulus, and at other times would set it at whatever rate it judged necessary to stabilize long-term debt. That would be its dual mandate: short-term stability and long-term fiscal solvency.
This Fiscal Stability Board would not be deciding which districts get bridges or defense installations, when people should retire, what medical treatments should attract public subsidy, or how mildly to tax manufacturers and private-equity partners. Above all, it would not be deciding what share of national income the government should spend. All that would fall to elected politicians.
In the U.S., Congress could carry on doing what it loves best: showering favors on its preferred constituencies. But once the legislature had made its choices, the Fiscal Stability Board would decide whether the fiscal balance looked right, short-term and long-term. Much as a central bank sets an interest rate and gives an expected path of future rates, the FSB would then set the sales tax.
I'd swap one Fiscal Stability Board, thus constituted, for any number of rules, pacts, triggers, councils and constitutional amendments. (Speaking of which, in the U.S. its establishment might require one.) An outlandish idea? Not long ago, the notion of central-bank independence seemed bold, as well. If it can be done for monetary policy, I don't see why it shouldn't be done for the relevant aspects of fiscal policy, too.

Megan Allen is a veteran English teacher who was the 2010 Florida Teacher of the Year and a finalist for National Teacher of the Year. She is also a National Board Certified Teacher. But she left Florida with her morale extremely low because of a series of reforms that she felt were targeting teachers in ways that unfairly hurt them as well as their students.
Florida has been at the center of corporate-influenced school reform that uses standardized test scores to evaluate students, teachers, schools, etc. In a Web post, she explains her reasons for leaving the Sunshine State, where half of a teacher's evaluation comes from student standardized test scores (called "value-added measures" or VAM).
Last year Allen testified before Congress about how high-needs students would be affected if Congress allowed budget cuts to go through that would affect education funding. She served as a teacherpreneur at the nonprofit Center for Teaching Quality, teaching in a hybrid role in one of Florida's highest-need schools while also advancing Common Core and teaching evaluation reforms that make sense for students and the teaching profession that serves them.
She is n now on the education faculty of Mount Holyoke College where she teaches a new course — Teacherpreneurs and Teacher Leadership: The Changing Role of Educators.
This is what Megan Allen wrote on the Center for Teaching Quality Web site (and below is her video):
I made this "Dear John" video last summer, before I left Florida and moved to Massachusetts. In the seven months since I've left the state:
- I've realized there are states and places that fund education well and have policies that support teachers, not break us down. It has been unexpectedly refreshing to get to know the education systems in New England. They are not perfect, but they have certainly made me realize how complex things are in Florida and the negative impact that has on our FL teachers and students.
- I've realized that my morale, even as a recognized teacher, was low in Florida. Morale is a serious issue, especially in states that are hotbeds for change and policy. We have to address this. Now.
- Many Florida teachers have had their VAMs made public. I can't yet comment on that because I am still angry, and as a Southern girl, my mom told me not to speak or write in anger. My colleague Julie Hiltz has written a great piece on her score being published on The Answer Sheet blog…read her thoughts here.
- Florida has begun to pull out of the Common Core (they will have their own FL standards…read more here) and is not participating in PARCC, but has contracted with The American Institutes for Research to create its own FL assessments (read more on that here). This is like watching a trainwreck, but one attached to the students, teachers, and parents that I love…directly connected to my heartstrings. *sigh*
I wasn't going to publish this video because I thought it was a little tough on my beloved state, but after letting that thought simmer for over half a year and watch what is happening, I am inclined to proudly post it.
Please know these opinions and feelings represent me alone, Megan Allen, the NBCT and education advocate.

The maritime heritage team spent today and yesterday diving on sites at Midway Atoll. Midway's Sand Island is the only place the ship ties up at the dock during the voyage until we return to Pearl Harbor at the end of the month. Suffice it to say, the entire ship's company was looking forward to a chance to stretch our legs on terra firma for a few days. Diving did not take a backseat, however, each of the scientific teams had goals to accomplish at Midway. For the maritime heritage team, monitoring dives anchored our agenda.

2005 Hyperlite Murray 142
After 13 different Hyperlite freeride wakeboard shapes and years working with our design team, Murray knows exactly what he is looking for in speed, edge control, air and release. Hes always been aware of every characteristic in his pro model, which is the reason why Fluid, Belmont, Temet and now Murray wakeboards have been our most universal high-end shapes.

Previous to riding the Murray I had a 2005 Byerly (for the edge hold and board speed). The Murray has not only given me those things but its other characteristics like its explosive pop & its smooth landings have allowed me to take my tricks bigger and actually land them more consistently. This board has also allowed me to become a more fluid rider with things like powerslides and so forth because it allows you to release your edges on demand and ride the board with some "soul" just like Murray himself says. A big thanks to Murray and Hyperlite...this boartd has allowed me to become better all around.

I love this board. I rode an 03' Byerly, and then an '05 Parks prior to buying the '05 Murray board. Shaun Murray personally showed me the board at The Boarding School this past May. Everything he wrote about the board on the Hyperlite web site is exactly how the board performs. His design works well for any level of rider. I watched him perform all his expert moves on the DNA version, yet I'm a beginner/intermediate rider and it allows me to have excellent control, soft landings,great carves, plenty of speed, and easy rotations. I highly recommend this board.

Great board! Sooth, consistent, quick, great pop, tracks well but breaks free when you want. Buy it, you won't regret it!

It amazes me what some candidates will say in any election. Some are mixing the past with the present. Changes have already been made to improve the operation of the district's wastewater facility. A follow-up report by the Grand Jury commended the progress the district had made.
The State's Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board inspected the wastewater treatment facility on Oct. 3 and made the following written comment: "In summary, the facility appeared to be well operated and maintained."
The district enjoys some of the most affordable wastewater rates in California.

Top pick RHP Taylor Guerrieri: Still "very committed" to S. Carolina, "moved on" from undisclosed incident
Rays top draft pick RHP Taylor Guerrieri broke his nearly week-long silence since being the No. 24 pick, saying he is still "very committed" to the University of South Carolina and that signing with the Rays will be "a tough decision.''
He wouldn't say much about his past, except that there was "an incident" that led him to transfer high schools and that he has "moved on" from.
Guerrieri, 18, said he was "really excited" about being draft by the Rays, and acknowledged "we waited a little longer than we were expecting to" in being taken 24th overall, but "it worked out just fine. We' re in a good spot."
He also said that he expected the negotiatons "to be a long process'' and didn't know when talks would start.
Also, that the reason he didn't do any interviews until Friday was that he was "at the beach" with family and friends.
Among his comments:
On not doing any interviews until Friday (the draft was Monday):
"Sorry I'm just now getting back to you guys, I was at the beach with my family and friends just enjoying this whole opportunity."
On being drafted by the Rays:
"It's definitely very exciting, they have a great farm system, great young talent in the minor-league system and it's a great opportunity for me. I'm really excited about it.''
On lasting until the 24th pick given higher projections:
"We waited a little longer than we were expecting to, but it worked out just fine. We're in a good spot we feel like. So we're happy how it worked out."
On his pending decision to attend South Carolina or sign with the Rays:
"I've always pictured myself playing college baseball first before any professional baseball takes place. Huge Gamecocks fan, still very committed to Carolina. I'm looking forward to the opportunity with them too. It's going to be a tough decision.''
On speculation and questions on why he transferred from North Augusta to Spring Valley High School in October of his senior season:
"I'm not going to explain it on a public format. I had an incident. I'm moving past it, I'm actually moved past it. We just wanted to be closer to USC really, and just get a feel for everything else up here. We were excited about Spring Valley and everything, and it turned out it worked out fine for us.''
On what type of "incident" it was:
"I'm not going to talk about it. I've talked about it with the team, and they're fine with it. It was just something minor, it wasn't anything big. And we've moved on from it.''
On whether it's fair for there to be speculation about his background and maturity:
"At some point. ... But there's been a lot of rumors, a lot of it's not true. That's all I can really say, a lot of it's not true. I've moved on from what happened. And that's it.''
On clarifying why he transferred:
"We just wanted to be closer to USC, move up to Columbia. That's pretty much it."
On why he didn't do that during the summer instead of during the school year:
"That's the best time we thought we could do it. Like I said, we had a little incident and moved on from it."
On whether he plans to meet soon with the Rays to start negotiations:
"It's a process, it's going to be a long process. We're not sure when we want to talk to everybody. But we're looking forward to the opportunity and everything.''

Review by Mark Dujsik
The creators of "
Team America is an international police force on the prowl for terrorists, and they'll stop at nothing to get the job done. After successfully stopping a group of terrorists in Paris and losing one of their own to said terrorists, the team is in need of a new member. Given the discreet nature of some of their work (the parts not involving blowing up the Eiffel Tower and causing it to collapse into the Arc de Triomphe), Team America's leader Spottswoode (voice of Daran Norris) has decided to attempt to recruit a popular Broadway actor named Gary Johnston (voice of Parker). Gary would use his acting abilities to infiltrate sensitive terrorists meetings and discover what nefarious plans they have in motion. Meanwhile, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il (voice of Parker) is hatching his own dastardly plan involving terrorists around the world and the Film Actors Guild (you decipher the acronym), who are disgusted with the way Team America is imposing itself on the world.
Have I mentioned this is all done with
marionettes? Yes, those are puppets
blowing up the Louvre and the Sphinx. Yes,
those are puppets swearing with the gusto of Dick Cheney. Yes, those are puppets engaging in a sex scene that would make Bernardo
Bertolucci blush (I exaggerate; he'd probably only raise an eyebrow). And it of course leads to one of the funniest MPAA reasonings for the R
rating: "for graphic crude and sexual humor, violent images and strong
language – all involving puppets." Does
the fact that it all involves puppets make it more or less deserving of the
rating? Anyway, it all does lead to
a consistently on-target mocking of the modern action movie. From the testosterone-laden explosions and chases and gunfights to
ridiculously cheesy scenes of romance and team bonding, the movie satirizes the
blow-'em-to-hell xenophobia and the almost-too-masculine machismo we've come to
expect (with a score by Harry Gregson-Williams to boot). Take a scene where the team is approaching Kim Jong Il's palace, only to
be attacked by his henchmen by air and sea. Of course, such a fight isn't going to get in the way of the team
bringing in personal feelings about each other in between explosions. Absurd?
Yes. Familiar? Most definitely.
Parker and Stone are also prone to point out
hypocrisy and more underhanded forms of manipulation throughout society. Gary is introduced as he stars in Lease,
the Parker/Stone version of the musical Rent,
in which the finale is a song called "Everyone Has AIDS," and everyone
in the audience alternately sobs and dances to the beat. As for other musical numbers, Jong Il sings "I'm So Ronery" (yes, they did go there) and Team
America's theme song is catchy, jingoistic, and crass. And you have to love a song about someone missing their love "like Michael

You could be feeling safe in no time, thanks to the anti-terrorism
Page Tools
How come the Government's not doing an expensive ad campaign for the anti-terrorism laws?
There could be shots of happy Muslims being rounded up and herded into an ASIO holding cell. And close-ups of the attractive bracelets to be worn by those under house arrest. The voice-over could explain how everyone's rights will be "protected by law".
Surely the director will include a shot of some bearded bloke merrily making his allotted phone call home, declaring to the one relative he is allowed to talk to, that he is "safe". Again the voice-over: "Your right to declare yourself safe - protected by law." Or even a shot of a would-be traitor, his legs bound and his arms forced behind his back: "The aim of the new laws is to encourage increased flexibility."
Just as with the industrial relations ads, there will be no need to trouble people with the detail - for example, that you are forbidden from disclosing any information about your imprisonment, its location or cause. Or that a relative can be jailed for five years should he or she tell anyone else about the fact that you are "safe". Of course, "safe" is about the last thing you are - since no one is allowed to know where you are, with whom, or for what reason. Although, to be fair to the Government, it's presumably an acronym: "Suddenly Arrested, Future Elusive."
It must be confusing to be in Parliament, with both the workplace bill, and the anti-terrorism bill marching through in tandem. In one bill penalty rates disappear, in the other, it's the people who disappear. I just hope they don't muddle the various provisions. You'll have a bloke forced to do Sunday overtime, no penalty rates, and all he'll be permitted is one phone call home. "I can't tell you where I am, darling, but I want you to know I'm safe."
Some have criticised the new anti-terrorism laws as a break from tradition, but I'm not so sure. Take your mind back to your time at school. It was the same system back then: nobody would tell you what you were charged with.
You'd be called to the office. "Now, boy, I suppose you know why you're here," the principal would say, and instantly, you'd be sweating. You must have done something wrong. Your challenge was to figure out what it was. You'd feel guiltier by the moment.
No wonder the Prime Minister wants to introduce the method on the whole population. It is a fantastic technique. Under pressure from the school principal I used to admit to everything. Smoking. Drawing penises on the desk with my compass. Global warming. The lacklustre wheat harvest.
"You're right, sir, I did it all. It was all my fault." And then the inevitable phone call home from detention: "I can't tell you where I am, Dad, but I want you to know I'm safe."
Just like at school, the new laws offer such a wide definition of wrongdoing. The way it's worded at the moment, laughing at the British royal family - which, surely, remains a sign of sanity - becomes evidence of sedition. Worse, you never are told what you have done wrong: like one of those insanely complicated mobile phone plans, you are never quite clear what the charges are.
Iraq is particularly tricky. You are allowed, we are told, to criticise Australia's involvement in the war. But not to give any verbal support to the insurgency. Of course, there's a big distinction between those two things, but where exactly is the dividing line? At which point does a critic of the war fall over into sedition?
The Prime Minister keeps mentioning there will be "judicial review", but it now appears the role of our judges is to merely check the paperwork. They don't get to consider whether there is a proper case to answer: theirs is a walk-on role. They tap dance in, and stamp the paperwork. A judicial revue, more than a judicial review.
In the debate so far, it keeps on being suggested that there are only two positions - you are either soft on terrorism, or tough on terrorism. Can I say: no one is soft on terrorism. No one thinks it's a good thing; or if bad, something that should be rebuked gently, speaking to it as one would a wayward child.
We are all tough on terrorism. The real dividing line is between those who are determined to fight it methodically and coolly, and with a proper sense of value for our own legal traditions, and those whose hysteria may well make a terrorist attack more likely.
Take the London bombers. They were unknown to authorities. Imprisonment - legal or not - could not have prevented their crime. The issue was their maddened alienation from the British mainstream.
That's the question to be asked of these laws: will they lessen that alienation, or make it more extreme?

Ultra-Orthodox, Arabs refuse to join equal draft law committee (HA´ARETZ NEWS) By Ophir Bar-Zohar 05/22/12)
Source: http://www.haaretz.com/news/national/ultra-orthodox-arabs-refuse-to-join-equal-draft-law-committee-1.431800
HA'ARETZ} NEWS SERVICE Articles-Index-Top
There were no official ultra-Orthodox or Arab representatives present on Monday at the first meeting of the committee tasked with crafting a law governing the draft.
The new law will replace the interim Tal Law, which grants draft deferrals to the ultra-Orthodox. The High Court of Justice has found that law to be unconstitutional and ruled that it cannot be extended once it expires July 31.
Monday´s meeting was a "historic moment as well as an opportunity to change the agenda in the State of Israel," said Vice Prime Minister Shaul Mofaz.
The committee hearings will enable the recently expanded government to carry out the first clause of its coalition agreement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the opening of the meeting.
"Two weeks ago we were in this hall, Shaul Mofaz and I, to announce the establishment of the broad-based unity government," he said. "The first clause in the unity deal was to bring about an alternative to the Tal Law."
But though the new law will primarily affect the ultra-Orthodox, by stating when and how Haredi men will be expected to join the army (Haredi women will continue to be exempt ), there are no official ultra-Orthodox representatives on the panel.
That´s because the two Haredi parties, the Sephardi Shas party and the Ashkenazi United Torah Judaism, have refused to send representatives; they don´t want to be seen as cooperating with the government on an issue that their voters deeply oppose.
However, prominent lawyer Jacob Weinroth, who is serving on the committee, is widely considered to be the Haredi community´s unofficial representative.
Similarly, Arab MKs and the Higher Arab Monitoring Committee said they were not interested in joining the committee - although Netanyahu said one of the important elements of the panel´s work is to include both Jews and Arabs without setting one group against the other. He also said it was important to implement any changes gradually.
According to a source with knowledge of the committee, Arab officials said any Arab who sits on the committee would be considered a kind of "Uncle Tom." The source said Arab officials plan to conduct an unofficial dialogue with the panel, and committee chairman MK Yohanan Plesner (Kadima ) said he expects that an Arab member will eventually join the panel.
"Additional spots are reserved for an Arab representative and a woman from the field of economics," he said.
Two of the 10 members of the committee are female, a proportion that some said was too low, especially considering the potentially deleterious effects that an increased Haredi presence in the Israel Defense Forces could have on women.
"Drafting Haredim into the IDF has critical consequences for women´s service in the army," said Gila Oshrat, who heads the Israel branch of the Women´s International Zionist Organization. "A failure to develop a model for full equal opportunity and for preventing women´s service from being curtailed will lead to severe discrimination against women in the army."
The IDF already accedes to ultra-Orthodox demands that Haredi units not interact with female soldiers, as other units often do, and some fear that a larger ultra-Orthodox presence in the army could keep women from doing more in the military or even from doing some of the jobs they already do.
The committee has begun its deliberations even though it expects to expand its membership because it is under a tight deadline, both because the Tal Law expires at the end of July and because that is when the Knesset´s summer recess generally begins.
The panel is expected to complete its deliberations, which will take place three times a week, by June 28, and to finish drafting the alternative to the Tal Law by July 25. (© Copyright 2012 Ha´aretz 05/22/12)

Manila (AFP) April 26, 2013
The Philippines on Friday accused Beijing of engaging in the "de facto occupation" of a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, following a face-off that began last year.
Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said three Chinese government ships remained in the vicinity of the Scarborough Shoal, scaring off local fishermen.
"The Chinese have tried to establish a de facto occupation," he told reporters.
The Philippines says the shoal is well within its 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone, as recognised by international law.
However China insists the shoal is Chinese territory as part of its claim to almost all of the South China Sea -- including waters up to the coasts of other countries.
A face-off between the two countries began last year when China dispatched government vessels to stop the Philippines from arresting Chinese poachers in the area.
He said the Philippines tried to settle the matter through talks but when this failed, it was forced to ask a UN tribunal to strike down China's claims.
Del Rosario also said the Philippines had put off granting oil exploration contracts in disputed waters in the South China Sea due to the "sensitivity of the situation" with China.
"We have given this significant thought and decided what is best for the country. We also don't want to put (private companies) in a compromising situation," he added.
The Philippines has accused China of using intimidation to press its claims in the South China Sea, which are believed to encompass vast mineral resources and also include vital shipping lanes.
Taiwan, Brunei, Vietnam and Malaysia also claim parts of the South China Sea.
The rival claims have for decades made the waters one of Asia's potential military flashpoints.

Sunderland slip to Seongnam loss
Everton Santos' first-half goal was enough for Seongnam Ilhwa Chumna to sink Sunderland in their opening pre-season match in the Peace Cup.
Seongnam were given the lead on the half-hour mark when Santos fired home from close range, beating Black Cats keeper Simon Mignolet.
The home side started strongly, not unexpected as they are midway through their season, with Sunderland fading in the humid conditions in the second half. Sunderland's best chance in the first period came in the 16th minute when Kieran Richardson's strike flew narrowly over the bar.
However, Santos and strike partner Javier Reina were a constant threat, squandering several chances before Santos scored what turned out to be the only goal of the game.
In the second half, Seongnam continued to dominate while Sunderland tested new combinations, including the introduction of defender Carlos Cuellar who made his first appearance.
Martin O'Neill's side pushed for an equaliser late on but Connor Wickham's deflected effort hit the post and Craig Gardner came close with a 30-yard free-kick which struck the bar.
The visitors tired in the final few minutes, as the Korean side held on to claim a deserved win.
Matthew Etherington converted from the penalty spot as Stoke began their pre-season schedule with a 1-0 victory in Switzerland against FC Sion.
Etherington slotted home after 38 minutes for the only goal of the game after Jose Goncalves handballed under pressure from Kenwyne Jones.
Potters boss Tony Pulis gave 20 players game time in the match, with only Rory Delap and Jones handed a 90-minute workout.

Very Good Music Stand
For a portable music stand, this is a very good one. It is definitely much better than the cheap music stands the kids start out with. I think it will be reasonably sturdy if it isn't abused. I like that you can make the stand very short or very tall.

Daily updates on what I'm reading
- Putting people first » AP's ethnographic studies look for solutions to news and ad "fatigue" – CLIP "The findings are part of a study called "A new model for communication," released two weeks ago with little fanfare and no press coverage, even by AP's own reporters (pdf link to report). The research was done in conjunction with Context-Based Research Group of Baltimore, and was a followup to a 2008 study called "A new model for news" (pdf link to report). Both studies used ethnographic research techniques to do a 'deep dive' into consumer behavior and motivations. […] . To combat "ad annoyance," the study recommends restoring trust, noting that social vetting of information is now often "filling a role historically played by trusted packagers of information, such as local newspapers, which connected readers with advertisers in a trusted environment." This led the study team at Context to suggest a what they call Communitas, consisting of collaboration, social contract (understood rules), kinship, honesty, reciprocity and relevance."
- The Stuff of Relationship « @davepollard as always, asks deep & interesting questions – CLIP: What drove me to move these relationships to a more intimate level was a sense that, without close and frequent connection and an acknowledgement of reciprocal interest (need or passion), these relationships were really imagined, fantasies, exaggerated by my anticipation and imagination of their possibilities. I wanted to authenticate these relationships. ……………… ………….. What do you think? Are we fooling ourselves into believing our 150 'relationships' online are more valuable, reciprocal, and authentic than they really are? Are we imagining them to be what we want them to be because it's easier than actually negotiating a 'real' relationship? And are we settling for large numbers of superficial relationships at the cost of true, dizzying

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious annual gathering – this year in Orlando, Fla. – provides an opportunity for religious congregation leaders to hear speakers and deliberate the future. It also allows them to catch up with old friends, laugh a little, share hopes and as well as disappointments.
Some conference "work" takes place during meals. Today keynote talks by Franciscan Sr. Ilia Delio didn't allow a lot of time for lunch. So the women dashed out for quick noon meals. In the exhibit hall next door to the conference hall, the women grabbed quick boxed sandwiches and salads. Sitting at one table were, left to right: Sister of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Barbara King, Notre Dame Sisters Patricia McCarthy and Anne Leonard, (Fox), Sister of Saint Joseph of Peace Margaret Byrne, Sister of Charity (BVM) Joyce Cox and Sister of Mercy Camille D'Arienzo.

A mathematical object similar to a vector but which changes sign when rotated through 360°. Spinors were invented by Wolfgang Pauli and Paul Dirac (they were named by Paul Ehrenfest) to represent the spin of a subatomic particle. In the early 1930s, Dirac, Piet Hein, and others at the Niels Bohr Institute created games such as Tangloids to teach and model the calculus of spinors.

Ob-Gyn questions? Ask a gynecologist online.
So hypechoic does not mean solid tissue? May I post a couple photos and report for your opinion on this cyst?
I really want to post these photos. When I upload the photo and hit reply, it gives me an error that says access denied. Never had this happen on this site. Let me try again
Ok, let me try that. This is so strange. I've posted lots of things on here and never had this problem. Let me try photobucket.com really quick. One sec please. Sorry
So sorry about that. Thanks for your patience. Photobucket would not work for me. Not sure what's going on. They worked here. Are you able to see these 5 images:
http:[email protected]
I loaded one more on flickr, image 0709 if you wouldn't mind looking at that one as well?
I'm not sure if you replied but I just got an email that you replied but there's nothing posted except where I replied "thanks" after you said you'd check it out
It's confusing, the report says it's complex. I see also it has the little bright white echogenic foci (I think that's the right description). I thought the internal echoes/grey stuff throughout meant it was complex?
I also thought it was strange how lacking in info. the radiologist report is. There's nothing descript in it. It mentions it's a complex cyst but nothing about what makes it complex....internal echoes, septations, nodularity, etc. Is this normal that the radiologist would just state a cyst looks complex in appearance with no other info?
Thank you. Can complex cyst also mean it has internal echoes? When you say you don't think 0690 is part of the cyst (indentation), not sure I know what you mean.
And the above are my last questions.
And I know only histopathology (?) will only tell for sure but do you think this looks like a cancerous ovarian mass?
Thanks for taking a look.

Nobody likes adding positive tags to their own personality, after all, people don't want to be called arrogant, out of touch or just away with the faeries. I also rest my case about awarding myself qualities, as articulating what I believe to be, is simply not up to me.
When left to others so, some people in my circle have referred to me as what they call a sensitive, or even old, soul, a big animal lover who loves campaigning against unfairness in society and someone who sometimes prefers books over that of certain people. While growing up, my mum always told me that kindness, caring for others and having empathy will benefit me as an adult, because not everyone has an easy life. Despite being a lone parent, she taught me well.
As a child, my best friend and I did a lot of role playing, acting out what we thought would be adult stories and/or emotions. In a way, it opened up a storybook filled with people, each with their own psychological qualities and mindsets. We talked for hours about how we would deal with these emotions. It was not always an easy task; nevertheless, I believe that my love for psychology was born during those days. Recognizing people's emotions or 'reading people' came easy at some stage.
Despite a detour and studying library sciences, twenty years later psychology is still one of my main interests. After securing a diploma with merit in Counselling studies and a certificate in Psychology as well as a deferred degree(*), it should be easy so to think that being in tune with others would help me deal with my own cerebration. Since last year however, I have moments where I struggle trying to forget some alliances gone sour. I keep trying to figure out what went wrong, why, where and when, but I am not shown an answer to those questions just yet.
Moments of stumbling like this never last long though as a secret deal with myself forbids me from allowing myself to be dictated by family, friends or colleagues too selfish to be kept. But as you more than likely know yourself, when a tiny, bad seed is planted in your mind, you have to try hard not to let it grow out of control.
My frustration, in my eyes at least, is still valid. Living with an illness like multiple sclerosis is unpredictable as is. Besides not knowing if I will be fit enough tomorrow to walk around, or if I will be able to sleep at night of neuropathic pains, as well as dealing with a lot of doctors and medication, MS truly does change your life.
I do realise though, that from the opposite point of view, it must be hard for people trying to deal with someone who had to change out of medical necessity. It must seem as if the old me is long gone, and people around me had to accept a new friend in their life.
People should aim to be the kind of person they want to be best friends with. In doing so, you attract people either quite similar to yourself or you meet the opposite of what you are. What follows are close friendships, if not relationships. You hope that from now on, your family and friends will be there in good times as well as bad ones, and that everything in your or my life will be overcome no matter what the issue is.
In trying to learn what drives people, I sometimes become a person too analytical for my own good. But as any human being with a brain built to think, dream and feel empathy when necessary, I learned that not everyone has your best interests at heart. And at times, especially when acute or persistent facial pain and fatigue take over my day, learning to accept this is a mountain too high to climb.
Only then I become exceedingly aware that I am not the same person anymore. I could almost split my life in two, saying, "My life before MS" and "My life after my diagnosis". The truth is, I did not ask for this diagnosis, others with a chronic and neurodegenerative illness didn't ask for it, but yet, we all share the same common denominator: we are all changed people. Every single one of us.
Having a support network is imperative and at some stage, people – on both sides of the fence – move on from feeling resentment, hurt and anger. So, count your blessings instead. Feel blessed for having people in your life that care, support and would do anything to help out when needed. Instead of focusing on a few lost friendships, focus on the ones who stepped up.
Living with MS can be difficult and testing, but only if you let it.
(*) Deferred years ago because of diagnosis, still dying to return. Waiting for a great lottery ticket to shoot me back to university! :)
