Forty-degree temperatures, exploding house prices and a lack of hospitals and schools are some of the reasons very few Australians are moving to Western Australia's Pilbara region for work.
The area, which is home to 50,000 people, has increased in wealth tenfold over the past decade, to $48.9 billion. The number of fly-in, fly-out workers is as large as its permanent population.
Almost double the number of overseas migrants arrived in Western Australia than from interstate last financial year, Australian Bureau of Statistics data show. There were 36,815 people from interstate and 60,084 immigrants.
"The heat's a big problem, as well as house prices, but these places don't have good education and health infrastructure, so that puts people off moving over," West Australian Nationals MP
"Some people might not want to move over because they want to be close to their extended families, and there are more and more fly-in, fly-out workers."
Mr Crook said he knew someone living in New Zealand who worked in the Pilbara.
The project's enterprise migration agreement (EMA), covering up to 1700 temporary employees at the $9.5 billion project, has upset unions, which want Australian workers to get preference. Union leaders fear the non-unionisation of the workforce, while companies are trying to head off delays from protracted staff disputes.
With skyrocketing wages, the question is why Australians don't seem to want to cross the Nullabor.
"The Pilbara is a great place, but it's not for everybody," Immigration Minister Chris
Mr Crook said he did not oppose the policy, Australia had a shortage of the skills needed, and there was a sector of the labour market that did not want to or could not work.
"We don't have enough people to fill the jobs at the moment and I don't actually see much wrong with the EMAs – it's just that the government is selling it badly," Mr Crook said.
There was confusion over whether Prime Minister
Housing costs are one of the things making it difficult for people in the Pilbara. Rents have increased to $2000 a week from $350 three years ago. Many people can no longer afford rent and many non-mining businesses can't pay the resource-driven wages for workers such as electricians.
House prices in the booming Pilbara region are outpacing major capital cities, with recent sales fetching $300,000 more than the Sydney median.
The West Australian Network of Alcohol and other Drug Agencies likened the divide between the people who could afford to live in the Pilbara and people in the communities struggling with higher prices as apartheid.

It's simple, and free.
In Jewish law, for prayer to be "official" (for want of a better word, there needs to be a quorum of ten men (yes, MEN) called a minyan.
Of course, unlike in my Catholic religion, there really is no obligation (or sin or punishment) for non-attendance. As I mentioned, Reform Jews tend to be less observant. But, I also delved into just what the Jewish Sabbath represents: "Shabbat traditionally commemorates the period of time in which G-d rested after creating the world. It is a time for families to come together over challah (twisted loves of bread), chicken, kugel (noodle pudding), chollent (a hot mixture of meat and beans) and song. With such fare it is no wonder that an old saying still rings true: 'More than the Jews have kept Shabbat, Shabbat has kept the Jews' (Anon 2003 2). Actually, as I was informed, the Sabbath (as do all Jewish holidays) begin the evening before. "All Jewish Holidays begin the evening before the date specified. This is because the Jewish day actually begins at sundown on the previous night. Shabbat begins 18 minutes before sundown on Friday night. In Jerusalem, Shabbat begins 40 minutes before sundown". (Anon 2003 1). The service this wet Saturday morning began with a prayer, in Hebrew, then repeated in English. I was told that at the Friday evening services, there would be a cantor and a small choir. The hymns usually are taken from biblical contexts. The sounds of an organ filled the temple. From later conversations with some of the congregants, I learned that from time to time, the temple has invited musical groups, even some modern soft-rock bands, to perform. When I asked the rabbi, his reply was interesting: They definitely didn't use music in ancient times, but these are different times," he says. "We are competing with Hollywood, MTV, DVDs -- today, we listen to the TV, not the elder of the tribe."

Influx of external funding comes to School of Education
More and more money has poured into the School of Education each year for the past several years, a sign of the high quality of research and other work at the school, Dean Karen Wixson says.
In addition to several awards of more than $1 million each from various sources, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded more than $4 million to the school for its part in a Center for Proficiency in Teaching Mathematics and $9.9 million for the school's role in a new Center for Curriculum Materials in Science.
Educational research leads to cutting-edge curricula and instruction that benefit students, teachers and administrators throughout the state and country, Wixson says.
Funding "has been increasing every year for the past few years now," Wixson says. "It's indicative of the reputation and accomplishments of the School of Education faculty. Our research into teaching and learning is used by educators and policy makers in the state of Michigan and around the country to help improve our education system."
Awards in the 200001 academic year totaled more than $11 million. In the following year, the total was almost $19 milliona 69.7 percent increase. Both figures include multi-year projects.
For the 2002 calendar year, external sponsored funding totals $34 million, a figure that includes some multi-year projects. Part of the funding is more than $13 million from several sources for the continuing Study of Instructional Improvement project by faculty members David Cohen, Deborah Ball and Brian Rowan; more than $1 million from the U.S. Department of Education for Anne Gere's Teacher Quality: Recruitment and Retention project; and more than $1 million from the state and federal departments of education for Joanne Carlisle's Evaluation and Technical Assistance for Michigan's "Reading First" Program.
Wixson points out that this year the NSF is funding three major centers on educational research, and the School of Education is receiving support for two of themthe math center, with faculty Ball, Hyman Bass, Ed Silver and Magdalene Lampert; and the science center, with faculty Ron Marx and Joe Krajcik.
"It really says a lot about the quality of work that happens here, that the NSF has given us as much as they have," Wixson says.
The external funding is especially impressive given the size of the School of Education, Wixson says. With 65 faculty, the school is relatively small compared to other highly regarded education schools, she says.
The school's reputation in research hasn't always been so strong, Wixson notes. In the mid-1980s, the administration reviewed the school and said it needed a greater focus in this area. The budget was slashed, and morale was low, says Wixson, who was a faculty member at the school during that time.
During the previous dean's 10-year tenure, many new faculty members were brought in with the goal of making the school more research-oriented while not compromising its role as a professional school, she says. Those efforts are paying off, Wixson says.
"I think that the continued growth in external funding is evidence that we have come a long way towards achieving the goals that we set out to accomplish," she says. "It's a success story."

In what has become almost an annual affair over the last nine years, the Sacramento River Cats clinched the Pacific Coast League's Southern Division title over the weekend. The division title marks Sacramento's seventh in nine years. The River Cats will attempt to defend their 2007 PCL and Triple-A championship starting next Wednesday, September 3rd when their first round best-of-five series begins at Raley Field.
If the season were to end today, the River Cats would take on the Salt Lake Bees in that first round series for the second consecutive year. Last season, Sacramento overcame an early 0-2 game deficit to win three straight and shock the Bees on the River Cats' way to the finals. Sacramento began that series on the road. This year, the series will begin with two games at home. Tickets for the series are available from the River Cats at http://www.rivercats.com or at 916-371-HITS.
Sacramento went 2-3 in a five game series against rival Fresno that began on Wednesday and went through Sunday. Lefty Brad Kilby had a hand in both of the River Cats' wins, earning a save on Wednesday and the win on Saturday. Kilby has spent the entire season in the River Cats' bullpen and he has a 7-2 record with a 3.24 ERA and one save in 66.2 innings. He has struck-out 64 and walked 22. Kilby, a 2005 29th round pick out of San Jose State, is a candidate to be added to the A's 40-man roster this winter. He has held PCL batters to a .202 average this season and has been particularly tough on lefties, who have hit only .167 against him.
Outfielder Aaron Cunningham had a big series versus Fresno, as well. He appeared in four of the five games and went six-for-15 with a homer and three RBIs. Since being promoted to Triple-A in early August, Cunningham is batting .327 with four homers and a 1033 OPS in 15 games (55 at-bats). For the season, Cunningham is batting .318 with 16 homers, 61 RBIs, 15 stolen bases and a 913 OPS in 102 games for Midland and Sacramento.
Stockton Heading To The Post-Season, As Well
After missing the playoffs in 2007, the Stockton Ports are heading back to the post-season in 2008. The A's High-A affiliate clinched a playoff berth with a 7-5 win over Visalia on Sunday. Chris Carter led the way offensively with three doubles and Corey Brown and Jermaine Mitchell both homered in the win. Playoff tickets can be purchased from the Stockton Ports at http://www.stocktonports.com or at (209) 644-1900.
Carter snapped a one-for-33 slide with his three doubles in five at-bats on Sunday. The corner infielder has seen his average slip to .259 with the slump, but he still has a robust 923 OPS and he is sitting on 99 RBIs for the season. His 36 homers are a Stockton Ports' single-season record and Carter has one more week to try to top the 40-homer barrier. He leads the Cal League in homers by 10 and in RBIs by three. His OPS is fourth-best in the league.
Brown struck-out four times on Sunday, but the one time he made contact, he made it count, going deep for the 14th time this season. Brown has homered 14 times in 41 games for Stockton after hitting 14 homers in 85 games with Low-A Kane County to start the year. He has a week to hit two more homers and reach the 30-homer plateau for the season. Combined with Kane County and Stockton, Brown is batting .263 with 28 homers, 80 RBI, 13 stolen bases and he has an 844 OPS.
Although he is 0-for-his-last-eight, Josh Donaldson has continued to shine since he was acquired from the Chicago Cubs. The catcher is batting .348 with a 1003 OPS in 41 games for the Ports. He has eight homers and 35 RBIs during that time. Before his recent mini-slide, Donaldson had a four-game hitting streak during which he went seven-for-18 with four doubles and three RBIs.
Matt Spencer has also thrived since joining the Ports after a trade. The former Phillies farmhand is batting .329 with five homers and 20 RBIs in 34 games for Stockton. Over his last 10 games, Spencer is batting .310 with six RBIs. He had a double and a triple on Sunday and has hit safely in eight of his last 10 contests. The only blight on his record with the Ports thus far has been his plate discipline, as he has struck-out 33 times and walked only four times in 140 at-bats.
Archie Gilbert has been a quiet force for Stockton all season. The outfielder has had two separate hit streaks of 20 or more games and is batting .278 with a .365 OBP in 115 games this season. The speedy Gilbert has a team-leading 35 stolen bases. After being caught 12 times in 29 chances before the All-Star break, Gilbert has swiped 18 bags in 22 chances since the break. For the month of August, he is hitting .304 with an 814 OPS and 10 stolen bases.
Mike Massaro has five hits in his last eight at-bats and is batting .328 in 49 games for the Ports this season. In 88 games for Stockton, Sacramento and Midland, the outfielder is batting .305 with 35 RBIs.
Closer Sam Demel is second in the California League with 18 saves. In 63 innings this season, the hard-throwing right-hander is 4-2 with a 3.29 ERA. He has 83 strike-outs and has held opposing batters to a .225 average. In his last 10 games, Demel has four saves and he has struck-out 11 in 11 innings while allowing two runs.
Craig Italiano has put together a string of good outings since August 8th. He hasn't allowed a run in four of his past five appearances. Over that stretch, Italiano has allowed only three hits and two runs in six innings. He has struck-out 11 and walked five.
Midland Making Push Towards Playoffs
The Midland Rockhounds are holding a two-and-a-half game lead in the wild card race in the Texas League going into their game on Monday versus the Frisco RoughRiders. Midland will then square-off with the San Antonio Missions for a four-game set starting Tuesday. The Missions are chasing Midland for the final playoff spot.
Midland should get some reinforcements this week to assist in their playoff push. Infielder Jesus Guzman has been added to the Midland roster after completing his rehab assignment with the A's Rookie League team. Guzman has been sidelined since injuring his quad muscle in early July with the Sacramento River Cats. Guzman hit .467 with one homer in five rehab games in Phoenix. He batted .359 with 13 homers in 72 games with the Rockhounds earlier in the year before being promoted to Sacramento, where he hit .237 with two homers in 15 games. Mike Affronti was placed on the DL for Midland on Monday, as well.
The Rockhounds' pitching staff may also receive a boost from Olympians Trevor Cahill and Brett Anderson. According to A's farm director Keith Lieppman, Cahill and Anderson are scheduled to rejoin the Rockhounds on Monday and could pitch again for Midland during the regular season. Both hurlers helped the US win a bronze medal in the Olympic Games in Beijing last week. Cahill allowed two runs in eight innings in two Olympic starts, while Anderson earned the win in the bronze medal game and allowed seven earned runs in 12.2 innings. He was second on the USA squad with 10 strike-outs.
In the absence of Cahill and Anderson, 2008 draft pick Justin Murray has done a solid job filling in for Midland. The 21-year-old right-hander has made three appearances for the Rockhounds, and he is 2-0 with a 1.35 ERA in 6.2 innings. He has allowed only four hits and one run. Murray had allowed two earned runs in 10.2 innings for the A's Rookie League team before being asked to fill-in at Midland.
James Simmons gets the start for Midland on Monday. The right-hander is 9-6 with a 3.29 ERA in 23 starts this season. He has 111 strike-outs and only 28 walks in 125.2 innings. In his last two outings, Simmons has allowed only one run in 14.1 innings and he has struck-out 15. Over his last 10 starts, Simmons is 7-2 with a 2.53 ERA and 63 strike-outs in 67.2 innings.
Jared Lansford is putting together a Brad Ziegler-esque streak for Midland. In his first 20.1 innings at the Double-A level, Lansford has yet to allow a run. He has given up only 12 hits and he has struck-out 16 while walking seven. Lansford has been used in the late innings frequently with Midland and he has five saves. Despite being with the team only since late July, Lansford is second on the squad in saves. Andrew Carignan leads the club with 22 saves.
Heading into the season's final week, Tom Everidge looks like almost a sure bet to finish with the most RBIs in the Texas League. Everidge has 110 RBIs in 128 games for Midland this season. The next closest player has 92. Jon Zeringue is second on the team and fifth in the league with 85 RBIs. Guzman, despite playing only a little more than two months with Midland, is 12th in the league with 69 RBIs. Cunningham's .317 mark with Midland is good for fourth in the league. Todd Donovan, who broke the 300 career steals mark during the season, is fifth in the league with 36 stolen bases this year despite playing in only 77 games.
Starter Vince Mazzaro, who is now with Sacramento, is likely to finish the season with the best ERA in the Texas League. He left the Rockhounds with a 1.90 ERA in 137.1 innings. Simmons is third in the league with his 3.29 mark. Simmons is also third in the league in strike-outs, while Mazzaro is eighth.
Kane County Playing Out Stretch, Readying For Post-Season
The Kane County Cougars have had their playoff ticket punched since the first half of the season when they earned a wild card berth. The Cougars have had an up-and-down second half and sit at 30-32 for the second half of the season. On Sunday, the Cougars dropped a road game to the Clinton Lumber Kings by a score of 3-1. The loss was a rare one recently for Kane County, which has won eight of 11.
A's 2008 second round pick Tyson Ross struck-out a career-high seven in only 3.2 innings, but he was hung with the loss after allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk. The tall right-hander out of Cal missed five weeks with a sore shoulder, but he has been impressive when he has been on the mound. In 14.1 innings for the Cougars, Ross has 14 strike-outs against five walks. Four of those walks came in one bad outing, an outing during which he allowed four of the eight earned runs he has given up this season. Removing that one bad outing, Ross has allowed four runs in 11.1 innings with 14 strike-outs and one walk.
Infielder Justin Frash is quietly putting together a solid season. The University of Hawaii product is batting .300 in 67 games for the Cougars. He has 23 RBIs and is batting .317 over his last 10 games.
Outfielder Toddric Johnson has already established career-highs in doubles (21), triples (4), homeruns (13), RBIs (65) and stolen bases (11) this year. The Southern Miss product is batting .280 with an 816 OPS in 101 games.
Other News And Notes:
- A's seventh round pick Brett Hunter is in Arizona working out at the A's minor league complex. A decision will be made about whether Hunter will stay in Arizona or go out to pitch for an A's affiliate once he completes a throwing program in Phoenix, according to A's farm director Keith Lieppman. The hard-throwing Hunter signed a record $1.1 million signing bonus, the highest ever for a seventh round pick, on August 15.
- Lefty Josh Outman has seen time as both a starter and as a reliever with the A's since coming over in a trade with Philadelphia in July. According to Lieppman, the A's are still weighing both directions for Outman. The lefty allowed six runs in 12.2 innings with Midland and has allowed three runs in 10 innings with Sacramento. He made his first start with Sacramento on Saturday and allowed two runs on one hit in four innings.

the upcoming seconds sale has inspired me to consider other "seconds" in my life that I cherish. there are the seconds that i used to have at the dinner table, my mother having made a lot of food for her three growing, hungry boys, and her one, young but tomboy-ish daughter. i loved seconds because, yes, i loved my mother's cooking, but i also loved extending the time, cheer, and laughter i shared with my family. i never wanted those dinners to end! there are the seconds that come in the form of sequels—books and movies that i get excited about because of their firsts that mean so much to me. and there are the seconds that are encounters—a second meeting, a second dance, a second laugh—that all help a first impression become something much more than it once was.
the seconds sale reminds me of so much joy. something sweeter, still, is how glassybaby has teamed up with Camp Korey this year to help every child and their family experience camp. growing up in new hampshire, i had the privilege to attend camp on lake winnipesaukee, where i made enduring friendships, learned to love the outdoors, and had the opportunity to be, well, just a kid. and reminiscing on those carefree summers makes me smile: the games of soccer, canoeing on the lake, oratory stories around a campfire, and even my first dance with a girl when the camp across the lake came to visit one evening! reminiscing makes me realize: every child deserves the chance to experience camp.
and Camp Korey does just that, by giving children with serious life-altering medical conditions and their families the experience of camp. these children and their families endure so much: hospitals, doctors and medical appointments, treatment, and so much more that rob these children from a carefree childhood. in 2013 alone, Camp Korey served more than 2,000 campers and their families, and the goal is to serve even more families in 2014.
so cheers to everyone who will be in line saturday (and friday!) for the seconds sale. you all will be giving a home to the slightly imperfect glassybaby, while doing so much good for Camp Korey and the families they serve. it's a second that everyone can get behind, and one that will brighten your day when you meet others who love glassybaby, and love supporting Camp Korey.

Martin Tierney - Inventek Systems
Westford, MA 01886
Inventek Systems, March, 2008
Westford, Massachusetts -- Inventek Systems, a leading supplier of GPS (global positioning system) modules based on the cutting-edge SiRFstarIII architecture, has announced the availability of what it calls custom firmware off-the-shelf. According to Martin Tierney, Inventeks vice-president of sales, Inventeks new line of firmware dramatically reduces the time to deploy his companys ISM300 GPS module.
Firmware is the on-board computer code that controls the modules I/O and signal processing.
Our firmware offerings save development time, Tierney said. For example, we have a version that outputs only the GGA messages of NMEA-0183. Thats the message most developers are looking for, and we save them from having to write code to identify it. That saves development time.
NMEA-0183 is the National Marine Electronics Associations serial protocol standard. It defines several messages that encode various types of information about the GPS satellites, latitude and longitude of the receiver, altitude, time, and so on. GGA is one of those messages.
We have a similar capability for SiRF binary, Tierney said. (SiRF makes the GPS engine for the ISM300. SiRF binary is their proprietary serial protocol.) We have a firmware version with SiRF binary message 41 SBAS enabled. (Message 41 is analogous to NMEAs GGA message. SBAS stands for satellite-based augmentation system.) Again, we save developers time by providing just the data theyd otherwise have to write code to identify.
Were really excited about some of the applications our firmware enables, Tierney said. For example, we have a version that raises the operating ceiling of our module to 135,000 feet. We did that for a customer using it in a high-altitude balloon. The usual operating ceiling for the ISM300 is 60,000 feet.
We have other versions in the works that would be premature to mention. Stay tuned, Tierney said.
Tierney provided this list of part numbers for his companys firmware offerings:
Part No.
Single UART build with NMEA running at 57600 Bd on port A with only GGA messages
Single UART build with NMEA running at 4800 Bd on port A with all NMEA messages
Dual UART build with SiRF binary message 41 SBAS enabled
Single UART build with NMEA running at 4800 Bd on port B with all NMEA messages with operating ceiling of 135,000 ft.

He did not immediately announce the engagement last month because he wanted to make sure she knows what entails as a king-to-be's bride.
Prince William stalled the announcement of his engagement to longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton to give his bride-to-be the chance to back out of becoming a member of Britain's royal family. The prince proposed to Middleton in Kenya last month and chose to keep the news away from the media until Tuesday, November 16 to allow his former university sweetheart to fully understand what marrying him entailed.
In the couple's first official TV interview since the big announcement, William says, "We've been talking about it for a long time, so, for us, it's a real relief and it's really nice to be able to tell everybody."
"The last two or three weeks, it's been quite difficult not telling anyone and keeping it to ourselves for reasons we have to... I wanted to give her a chance to back out if she needed to before it all got too much... I just wanted to give her the best chance to settle in."
William admits he defied tradition and asked Middleton to be his wife before seeking her father's consent - because he wasn't sure his new fiancee would say yes. The couple plans to wed in 2011.

The article Capital Ratios as Predictors of Bank Failure appears in the latest issue of the New York Feds Economic Policy Review.
In a study of ratios designed to assess capital adequacy, authors Arturo Estrella, Sangkyun Park, and Stavros Peristiani find that even simple ratios can be informative and useful in predicting bank failures. The study comes as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision is engaged in an effort to refine the 1988 Basel Accord.
Estrella, Park, and Peristiani examine the effectiveness of three capital ratios in forecasting bank failure over different time frames. The risk-weighted ratio--the most complex of the three--compares a banks capital with its risk-weighted assets, as defined in the Basel Accord.
The leverage ratio and the gross revenue ratio are simpler to compute: the first compares capital with total assets and the second with total interest and noninterest income. The authors ask whether each ratio is useful for bank regulation and whether it is significantly related to subsequent bank failure.
Their analysis shows that:
Arturo Estrella is a senior vice president, Sangkyun Park an economist, and Stavros Peristiani a research officer at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Ask a Mechanic Online and Get Answers to Your Car Questions
Hi Jim, Super mechanic here. I have this diagnostic chart if it helps. You might have to make it bigger, Do you know if the cam sensor is working and are there any trouble codes?
See Figures 1 through 10
To avoid damage to the ECM/PCM or other ignition system components, do not use electrical test equipment such as a battery or AC-powered voltmeter, ohmmeter, etc., or any type of tester other than specified.
Check for trouble codes, as described in Driveability & Emissions Controls . If any are found, refer to the appropriate diagnostic procedure in Driveability & Emission Controls.
When performing electrical tests on the system, use a high impedance multimeter or quality digital voltmeter (DVM). Use of a 4 volt test light is not recommended.
To prevent electrostatic discharge damage when working with the ECM, do not touch the connector pins or soldered components on the circuit board.
When handling a PROM, CAL-PAK or MEM-CAL, do not touch the component leads. Also, do not remove the integrated circuit from the carrier.
Never pierce a high tension lead or boot for any TESTING purpose; otherwise, future problems are guaranteed.
Do not allow extension cords for power tools or droplights to lie on, near or across any vehicle electrical wiring.
Leave new components and modules in the shipping package until ready to install them.

Let's see..93, I think that is the "Pass key 2 " security. A diode in the key? They will normally turn off the fuel pump and injectors first. It seems that whatever system that you bypass, it will kill another.
With all that said, what I used to do was to first, check that there is power at the module. (pink I think) and then you can see if the crankshaft and camshaft sensors are signaling the module to spark. I am not sure of the wire color at the module but here is a diagram. You want to check the signal wire going to the module with red lead or low voltage test light.
Oh yes Jim, I have, but I would think if it were a timing chain you would know by the way it cranks. Now I will say though, I have seen them where the little magnet comes off from the cam gear and then it won't sed a signal. (they warned us about that at the GM school), The truck is to try and isolate which sensor is not telling the module to or when to spark.
Also, on the crank sensor, were you able to get an even gap (.050) on each side of the trigger blades?

Google Pitching an Internet TV Service
Google has approached media companies about licensing their content for an Internet TV service that would stream traditional TV.
Could tech companies finally be on the brink of disrupting cable TV? Google would join several other tech companies planning to offer so-called "over-the-top" services, which would deliver cable TV-style packages of channels over broadband connections. Intel expects to launch its service by the end of the year, while Sony and Apple are also working on similar offerings.
Full story is here.

I am new here but have been TTC (trying to conceive) for 3 yrs. 3 months ago I had an HSG test which came back "all clear" my husband has had a sperm analysis and his count is fine, motility 43%, and morph 4%...which I hear is all ok?
I just started using OPK (ovulation predictor kit) a mth ago and temping just this month. I got a +OPK on the 26th but still no rise in temp. I am concerned about low progestrone or PCOS. My cycles are super regular (every 28 days) however my periods are painful and can be heavy or long (last one lasted a week). I also can spot a day or two before they start full blown. Can anyone shed a little light on this for me? Is there still a chance my temp may come up?

Huckabee Distorts His Record On Tax Increases
Mike Huckabee falsely claimed that he did not sign legislation that imposed a 3 percent income tax surcharge while he was governor of Arkansas. In fact, as The Associated Press reported of the tax legislation, Huckabee "signed it in 2003 without a peep."
Huckabee Claims He Didn't Sign Bill That Imposed Income Tax Surcharge
Huckabee: "The Surcharge I Did Not Support Or Sign." On the February 27 edition of Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace said to Huckabee, "Conservative fiscal groups said that you were a big tax-and-spender as governor of Arkansas," citing among other examples, a "3 percent income tax surcharge." Huckabee responded: "The surcharge I did not support or sign, and I did sign its repeal. So, that's a misnomer." [Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, 2/27/11]
In Fact, Huckabee Signed Bill That Imposed Income Tax Surcharge
In May 2003, Huckabee Signed Tax Bill That Imposed 3 Percent Income Tax Surcharge. In a May 9, 2003, article, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported: "The Arkansas House of Representatives and the Senate bridged their differences Thursday and approved a $100 million tax increase to head off threatened cuts in state services. Gov. Mike Huckabee signed the tax bill into law several hours later." The Gazette noted that the bill "imposes a 3 percent income tax surcharge that would generate an estimated $39.9 million from 2003 income and $52.1 million from 2004 income." The article further reported:
Huckabee had pleaded with lawmakers Monday to raise taxes so that no Arkansan is left without vital services.
"While I'm not happy we were forced to raise taxes, it was the responsible thing to do to protect those Arkansans who are the most vulnerable but the least connected politically," Huckabee said Thursday. [Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 5/9/03, accessed via Nexis]
AP: Huckabee Signed Bill Imposing Surcharge In 2003 "Without A Peep." In a January 2005 article reporting on the impending repeal of the income tax surcharge, The Associated Press reported: "Huckabee says now that he didn't like it and didn't support it, though he signed it in 2003 without a peep." From the AP:
The skids appear to be greased for passage of legislation to repeal the 3 percent income tax surcharge, adopted in 2003 as part of a tax package to overcome a $250 million budget shortfall for human services and prisons.
Repeal legislation sailed through the Senate on Thursday, a day after it won a ringing endorsement from the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee and about the same time that the House tax panel sent an identical measure to the House floor.
Legislators don't necessarily like losing the $53 million in general revenues that repealing the surcharge would cause, but what choice do they have?
Even in tight budget times in 2003, the surcharge passed only after a compromise between its supporters and anti-tax conservatives who demanded a time certain for the measure to expire.
Drafters came up with a financial formula that would lower the percentage of the surcharge incrementally or eliminate it altogether based on Huckabee administration projections of future revenue growth, beginning with the fiscal year that starts July 1.
In November, finance chief Richard Weiss announced that state revenue projections would exceed the best-case scenario envisioned by the legislation - 4.3 percent growth and a $156 million surplus for fiscal 2006.
Some leery lawmakers viewed with suspicion the formula on which the forecast was based, and some questioned whether the administration's pronouncement was based more on expedience - Gov. Mike Huckabee says now that he didn't like it and didn't support it, though he signed it in 2003 without a peep - or legitimate financial projections that would trigger a total repeal. [The Associated Press, 1/24/05, accessed via Nexis]
And Prior To Signing Bill, Huckabee Reportedly Said He Would Accept An Income Tax Surcharge To Increase Revenues
Huckabee Reportedly "Said He Would Accept Any Of The Increases Lawmakers Had Proposed, Including ... An Income-Tax Surcharge." In an October 9, 2007, article about Huckabee's tax record as governor, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported that in a May 5, 2003, address, Huckabee urged state lawmakers to "increase taxes and pass budget bills to stave off cuts in crucial state services" and that Huckabee "said he would accept any of the increases lawmakers had proposed, including higher tobacco taxes, an increase in the sales tax or an income-tax surcharge." The Gazette further noted that "[t]hree days after the start of the May special session, the Legislature passed a bill that raised taxes on tobacco products and established on a 3 percent income-tax surcharge. Huckabee signed the bill into law hours later." [Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 10/9/07, accessed via Nexis]

The new system, which came into place last year, was heavily criticised amid allegations that thousands of people had been left off the register.
The need to register every year was brought in by the Electoral Fraud Act 2002.
In the past, one form was given to every household but now everyone has to register individually.
The register, published last November, showed a fall of 130,000 voters across Northern Ireland.
Poster campaign
Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams said the system was "seriously flawed" claiming that nearly 190,000 people who should have been on the register had been left off.
The Electoral Office responded with a massive information campaign ahead of the Northern Ireland Assembly elections which had been planned for May but were subsequently postponed.
The process had to begin again.
Beginning on Monday and running until early October, canvassers will call at every home in the province.
A poster campaign will also be launched next week aimed at informing everyone, but particularly aimed at young people.
The new register will be published on 1 December.

Amidst all the moving in and out; I totally forgot about completing four long years of blogging in April this year. Nevertheless let's smile and celebrate our conversations and my monologues in the last four years and our frequent and at times rare rendezvous. Thank you for standing by throughout.
This year the Bombay summers were quite harsh like usual and we all silently hoped for calming monsoons from our little pockets of the island. Then one day the clouds gathered to hide us all and left us drenched as we flaunted our dusty umbrellas and torn raincoats. Staring at the enormous skyline, we welcomed the non-resident Bombay monsoons.
The trains were once again flooded with watery boots, sparkling windows and smiling faces. We all were well armed for the anticipated heavy showers until one day the clouds cunningly went back in their conch flanked by the beaming sun.
The entire month of June has passed by and the rains have conveniently escaped our thoughts. My hometown too longs for the showers like rest of India. What happened to the Rain God and what happened to the time that was once called the monsoon?
Dry Pastels | Watercolors | Ink | Journal | Fountain pen
From my monsoon journal; kindly ignore the grammar :)
It used to be the time for blurred lights,
The piping hot chai and the milky coffees;
For the latecomers and early risers,
Droplet dreamers and sunshine escapists;
The umbrellas so dusty to come out and take on
The water so mucky.
It used to be the time for the reflections so blurry,
And dreams so catchy.
June was for all this and July was for this too,
August swung in the mud as September hid in the puddles.
Once, this used to be the monsoon.
I will soon be previewing my journals, nervous and excited and hoping that everything falls in place, much love.

The room was very nice and spacious. It was very clean and it had all possible amenities. The staff was very friendly and helpful when it came to directins and recommendations about restaurants and places. The bar was very nice as well as the swiming pool and spa. Very good value for money. It was a little bit difficult to order room service as the person at the end of the line didn't have very good english. The wireless was signidicanlty slow and the location isn't the best since it takes about 30 minutes with the subway to get to the city centre and about 45 minutes(with no traffic) by taxi to get to the airport.
The bedroom was extremely comfortable, including a bathroom with a bathtub and walk in shower. The staff were friendly and delivered a fruit platter and cake as it was my birthday! The japanese restaurant all you can eat is a must!!! The room temperature was very high
Excellent value for the money fulfilled with a great staff. Be aware that the location is remote from the city center. I certainly advice you this hotel!
Hotel staff were extremely polite and professional. N/A
ottima colazione, stanze pulite e grandi reception disponibile per esigenze clienti un po decentrato
This is a very luxury five star hotel. Staff was very polite, close to the subway but a bit far from the city centre (45 minutes). Very nice restaurants including a Japanese. Budget price.
My room, new, nice and comfort. the location is way too far from the city.
Room is clean. Breakfast choices is okay except no freash juices. Location is too far from tourist attraction and subway 10 minutes walking if you know the short cut. No fresh juices and only chilled juices during breakfast.
Although the hotel was a 4 star one, but I can rank it as a 5 star hotel. The rooms were great. The bath room was separated from WC and although the bathroom was separated from the room with a glass wall. I think they should put more pictures from the hotel on booking.com. The hotel had two large swimming pools and sauna that I had not enough time to experience it. Also the hotel had 4 or 5 tennis ground and a well equipped fitness center. Hotel reception consisted of helpful people with good English knowledge. They used to prepare any thing I wanted (for example a taxi, a call, check in, check out etc.) less than 2 minutes. The hotel price is very low in comparison with other 4 or 5 stars hotels that it is not due to hotel service. The main drawback of the hotel was its location. It is located far from city center and most visiting areas. I had to pay about 7 to 10 US$ (and in rush hour about 15 US$) to reach city center. I think the cheap price of the hotel relates to its location. Anyway, next time I prefer to stay at this hotel with a cheap price and pay a little more for taxi.
good sporting facilities; friendly people; clean rooms -

A 50-year-old man was killed Monday when a carport burdened by snow and ice collapsed on him.
The carport collapse occurred about 9:15 a.m. at the man's home, 1628 E. 2050 North in Layton, according to city fire department Battalion Chief Scott Maughan. The carport was made of wood and had been added to the side of a garage, Maughan said.
Firefighters used a jack, some cinder blocks and other equipment to lift the snow-laden structure off the man's body, but he was pronounced dead at the scene, Maughan.
The man's name was not immediately released.
The man's family said he and his wife had talked about creaking noises coming from the carport and were concerned about its stability, Maughan said. The man was out looking at the structure when his wife left for work just before 9 a.m., he said. It's not clear whether the man was trying to brace the structure when it collapsed, Maughan said.
An investigation is ongoing.

One topic of conversation today among Iowans and their Nebraskan neighbors continues to be the sexually explicit e-mails the outgoing Des Moines schools superintendent and soon-to-be Omaha schools chief sent to her lover, sometimes during school days and on school computers.
The Des Moines Register broke the e-mail scandal involving Nancy Sebring, who resigned Saturday from the Omaha job she was to have started July 1. She resigned May 10 as Des Moines superintendent, saying she needed time to prepare for the Nebraska job and to help with her daughter's wedding. Sebring, 57, is married.
The Des Moines district forbids using school computers or e-mail accounts for personal correspondence and prohibits the exchange of sexually explicit materials.
The Register, published by Gannett, USA TODAY's parent company, obtained the e-mails through an open-records request. They show that "messages to and from Sebring and a male lover were sent using Sebring's official district email account, sometimes on a district-issued laptop and iPad. Some of the messages were sent during the school day. The emails between the two spanned from at least March 26 to May 8. School officials have said the man, who is married, does not work in the district," the paper writes.
The Register writes that Sebring's "high-profile professional demise will likely serve as a wake-up call to public officials across the country."
Sebring and her lover exchanged at least 40 e-mails over a six-week period using the public schools' e-mail account, with 12 involving sex.
Several more referenced sex acts, but did not describe them. Others refer to photos of the man's penis. In one e-mail, Sebring admits looking "periodically" at a photo during the workday, "which gets my heart racing a bit."
On Friday, informed of the Register's intention to publish some of the emails, Sebring said she was disappointed.
"I want to say that I do think every individual's entitled to have a private life, even public employees, and I am deeply disappointed that the Register would consider this newsworthy. But it doesn't make me regret having been here in Des Moines, working hard for kids, living in the city — it's a great city. It would be my hope that people be allowed to have a private life and be in public service. If that's not the case, then where will people come from to do the work we do."
On Saturday morning, Sebring repeated earlier acknowledgments that she had made mistakes and that she was sorry. She could not be reached for further comment later in the day.
Rick Green, Register editor and vice president of news, said the Register published a selected set of emails online "so the public can better understand why the Des Moines school board and Sebring agreed on her abrupt and sooner-than-expected departure. Until the Register obtained these emails, board members had not revealed the reason for her immediate resignation."
The Register, which filed initial and revised open-records requests on May 9, 10 and 16, blacked out segments of e-mails deemed inappropriate, to comply with the paper's guidelines, Green said.
The Omaha World-Herald had filed a records request May 7, three days before Sebring announced her early departure. On May 9, Des Moines school board leaders confronted her about the sexually explicit e-mails, which were found during the Omaha paper's record request.
Sebring then persuaded the World-Herald reporter to modify his record request so it wouldn't include such personal e-mails as "her sister congratulating her about the Omaha job," the paper explains.
The World-Herald says it was unaware of the sexually explicit e-mails and agreed "to narrow its request to deal specifically with communications to and from people in Omaha."
Media reporter Jim Romenesko asked the paper's reporter and top editor about the decision to revise the records request. Here's what Executive Editor Mike Reilly told him.
Sebring twice tried to conceal the e-mails after school officials found them.
Both papers published selected, edited e-mails.
In an interview with the Register, Sebring said she deleted the e-mails because "they were personal."
She later apologized and acknowledged having used poor judgment.
"I tell my staff that they should treat any e-mails as a public communication. I don't know why I didn't do the same," she said.
"This was a situation involving two lonely people," she added.

The following is a great set of players to have on Manager mode.
These players are quality buys if you can get them quite cheap and you are looking for players who develop into the 96+ category overall rating. To find the best players, do a search for all players aged between 16 to 19. You can find some 17 or 18 year olds with a rating
of 90. These players only cost about $7 million because of their age, and you can make them worth about 40 in a season if the play well for you.
Goalkeeper - Bruno (Brazilian)
Defense - Micah Richards
Defense - Vincent Kompany
Defense - Sergio Ramos
Defense - Dani Alves
Defense - Gareth Bale
Defense - Raul Albiol
Midfield - S. Aleksander
Midfield - Fernando Gago
Midfield - Francesq Fabregas
Forward - Cristiano Ronaldo
Forward - Nani
Forward - Sergio Aguero
Forward - Created player (do not give him too many defense points as they do not really improve the overall rating for a striker)
Forward - Lionel Messi
Recommended team:
Use the following players.
Henry (Chelsea)
Manager mode: Spending experience points:
In Manager mode, access the experience points menu. Near the top of the screen is an option you can toggle if you wish to have the experience points spent automatically. Turn the autospend off.
Save up until you have about 40,000 experience points, or roughly a third of a season. Then, go back into the menu where you spend your points. You can spend a lot more points in one go. This makes it easier to decide what aspects of a player to upgrade. When you
have 40,000 experience points, turn on the auto spend.
The CPU spends the points better if there are more to spend.
Be a pro Co-op season:
Midfield is easy because you can stay up front like a striker or go in to defence if you prefere defending and the tasks will be easier.
The Best Team for 4-3-3:
If you are going to start manager mode then use these players in the 4-3-3 formation.(Before going to manager mode, go to club transfers and move all of the players needed to your team that you are going to use)
RB-Sergio Ramos

If someone's face is bigger on one side and smaller on the other side is it possible to make it even? If it is possible I wanted to know if there is a doctor that can be recommended for this procedure in Chicago or nearby. Thank you
Is It Possible to Make the Face Even?
Doctor Answers 4
Facial asymmetry
As part of the physical exam, I point out asymmetries of the face. Everyone has them. Attractiveness is measured by some facial asymmetry. Look at any model in the magazines.
Facial Symmetry
Most people have one side of their face that is bigger than the other. It is very unusual to have a perfectly symmetric face. In most cases, the size differences can be masked with fat grafting or dermal fillers. However, if there is a large discrepancy, then you may need more extensive surgery to shift the underlying bony structure. Good luck.

Maiking the Face "Even" (as Opposed to "Odd") in the Windy City
Hi 7,
Most faces are asymmetrical. Facial Plastic Surgeons spend most of their time "evening out" faces. Most of the time, fillers can be used to achieve the patient's goals, in some cases surgery may be necessary. I currently prefer Sculptra to restore symmetry to my patient's faces.
You are fortunate to have many fine facial cosmetic physicians in Chicago. Steven Dayan,MD, Julius Few, MD, Regan Thomas, MD, and RealSelf "All-Star" Otto Placik, MD are offices where I would start in the windy city after a Cub game of course. Good luck and be well.
