Mr Brogden then said Mr Debus should bypass the DPP and act immediately in a case that had dominated talkback radio for most of the morning.
After Mr Brogden referred to "murderers" during an on-air discussion with a former children's court magistrate, Barbara Holborow, 2GB presenter Luke Bona warned him not to use the term again.
Three youths, one aged 17 and two 16, were granted bail on Thursday over the murder of Kurt Smith, who was bashed in Dukes Oval, Emu Plains, on Tuesday night and died the next day.
Magistrate Bev Schurr granted them conditional bail in Lidcombe Children's Court after hearing they had close ties to the community and no criminal records.
Police allege the three were in a group of up to eight males who attacked Mr Smith and another man, unprovoked, around 9.30pm on Tuesday.
A fourth teenager, aged 17, was also charged with the murder yesterday and Ms Schurr refused bail from the same court.
Ms Holborow said she was sure Ms Schurr had insufficient evidence to refuse bail to the trio on Tuesday.
"You just can't refuse bail because it's a frightful crime and someone is going to pay," she said. "You have to ensure that the person you are refusing bail on is more than maybe guilty."
Mr Brogden disagreed. "I simply think that where the police have made a decision to charge three individuals, they wouldn't have rushed into that decision. They would have done it, I'm sure, based on appropriate evidence ... and in response to genuine public concern about three murderers being allowed free on bail ..."
Ms Holborow was aghast. Bona interrupted, telling Mr Brogden "they're not murderers, John", warning him to "be very careful" and stressing "they are innocent until proven guilty".
Mr Brogden apologised.
The president of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties, Cameron Murphy, said Mr Brogden's comments were "irresponsible in the extreme".
"Unfortunately, these comments have clearly jeopardised any notion of a fair trial in this case," he said.
"Mr Brogden, by publicly expressing his views on this case, will probably ensure the result of a delayed trial and further distress for all those involved."
Mr Debus said: "The last thing anybody wants to see is a mistrial. It is the victim's family who have the most to lose if the case is contaminated in any way by irresponsible comments."
Mr Brogden said that in pursuing him, rather than appealing against Ms Schurr's decision, Mr Debus was showing he had "warped" priorities.

 2. I also have a Canon Pixma MP470. It has one problem: the driver
 cable came off. Basically I haven't bothered to fix it 'cause it's a
 bit of a pain, and since I've ordered a replacement laptop that came
 with a free printer, I no longer need to. Someone with either more
 nimble hands or a willingness to open up its front casing should be
 able to fix it easily. It is otherwise 100% functional and a pretty
 decent scanner/printer.

 I'd be happy to donate either or both to NB or PS1, with preference to
 PS1 simply because that'd be cheaper to ship (or for that matter one
 of y'all could pick 'em up from me in Hyde Park).

This week I've been stuck inside as a much-needed deluge poured down on our rain-starved state for four days straight. Fortunately Artist Daughter and I decided to do some hiking and creating in a natural setting the day before the rain moved in.
Write Anywhere #31: Nature Center
We drove out to the Mary K. Oxley Nature Center with our cameras, notebooks, and good walking shoes ready for an adventure. The woods were still in indecision as to whether they would stay in winter's dormancy or allow spring to start.
After getting a muddy start through several hiking paths we reached Blackbird Marsh. We made ourselves comfy on the boardwalk. Daughter sketched and I wrote as fields of dead cattail rustled in the wind.
On our way back I spotted someone watching us.
They kept their eyes on us while we kept our cameras on them, then when they tired of our paparazzi ways, faded into the woods.
For the price of a twenty minute drive Artist Daughter and I were both creatively refreshed.
Where did you write this week?

Ore checks out the latest inventions for mobile phones
It can be really annoying when your mobile runs out of battery - and you can't borrow your friends' chargers because they don't fit!
But 17 phone companies are hoping to change that by making a charger that will fit most new phones by 2012.
They say the new one-size-fits-all charger will cut down on waste and will be designed to use less energy too.
Other energy saving ideas and phones of the future are on show at the Mobile World Congress in Spain.
Lots of important people from the industry are gathering at the meeting in Barcelona to check-out the latest gadgets and handsets.
Is having a one-size-fits-all charger a good idea?
Yes - it'll be really useful
No - it's a waste of time
569 Votes Cast
For people who like to do their bit for the environment, a solar-powered mobile phone made from recycled materials has been unveiled.
The phone takes 10-14 hours in the sun to fully charge, and will be on sale in Europe in the second half of 2009.
And for those who like to keep fit there's The Wellness phone, which allows people to keep an eye on their health when they're out and about.
In the mix
Budding DJs will be excited about a new music phone which can be used to mix tracks using the touchscreen as a turntable.
And for people who are a little forgetful, there's a mobile watch which you can wear on your wrist, so it's a bit harder to lose than a normal handset.

|About DEP
|Site Map
What you need to know before you build...
SEAWALL CONSTRUCTION and the Department of Environmental Protection
To protect Florida's fragile waterways, the DEP requires an Environmental Resource Permit for construction of certain seawalls. If the seawall you are planning does not meet the criteria below, you will need a permit from the DEP prior to construction.
For further information, contact the DEP at (813) 470-5700.
Caution: Construction of new seawalls is not allowed in wetlands or other surface waters which are State-Owned Submerged Land (SOSL) unless all of the following conditions apply:
a. there is an adequate demonstration of significant erosion at the site,
b. no viable alternative exists,
c. riprap or non-structural shoreline stabilization (such as planting vegetation) is included in the project design if practicable, and
d. structures exist on the upland property that are threatened by erosion.
Information showing that these conditions apply to the proposed seawall must be submitted to the Department for proprietary authorization prior to construction. The State of Florida owns the submerged land up to the mean- or ordinary- high water line of connected waterbodies such rivers, streams, lakes over 140 acres, bays, the Gulf of Mexico, and related waterbodies unless the land has been conferred by deed by the State to another party.
Seawalls Which Do Not Require a Permit from DEP:
1. Seawall construction in an artificially-created waterway which is not on SOSL and which meets the following:
2. Seawall construction in a wetland or other surface water, other than in an estuary or lagoon, which is not on SOSL and which meets the following:
the existing seawalls or riprap
3. Restoration of an existing seawall which meets the following:
Alternatives to Seawalls:
These alternatives may be just as effective at preventing erosion as seawalls and are better for the environment.
We hope that this information is useful to you. Preserving Florida's environment is every citizen's responsibility. Thank you for your help.

Using Corporate Governance to Shield Executives
Anti-takeover measures can lead to reckless acquisitions and loss of shareholder wealth
Mergers and acquisitions are, of course, a major element of corporate strategy. In the role of the acquirer, companies move aggressively to capitalize on perceived opportunities to enhance competitive positioning and stock market value. In the role of the pursued, companies may foresee other, less appealing outcomes. It has become commonplace for potential takeover targets to adopt certain corporate governance provisions as protection against unsolicited acquisitions. These anti-takeover provisions (ATPs) range from insuring corporate officers and directors against job-related liability to providing post-termination compensation and limiting shareholders' rights in board elections and in amending corporate charters and bylaws.
PHOTO: Ronald W. Masulis, Frank K. Houston Professor of Management
But while ATPs might be good news for corporate executives, the news isn't so rosy for investors. A wide body of existing research shows that in adopting ATPs, companies may actually end up reducing incentives for management to seek optimal performance, including the ability to find and consummate acquisitions that enhance shareholder value.
Ron Masulis, Frank K. Houston Professor of Management at the Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management, set out to define more specifically how ATPs can impact investors. In the most comprehensive investigation of this issue to date, he finds that firms with fewer ATPs pursue more profitable acquisitions. Moreover, acquisition announcements by firms with more ATPs tend to generate lower returns and more frequent negative returns for shareholders than those with fewer ATPs.
Masulis observes, "Managers at firms with more anti-takeover provisions are more insulated from the discipline imposed by the market for corporate control and thus are more likely to display self-serving behavior such as empire building."
More ATPs, Lower Returns
In collaboration with Cong Wang of the Owen School and Fei Xie of George Mason University and Owen School, Masulis analyzed a sample of 3,333 acquisitions by 1,268 firms between 1990 and 2003 from the U.S. Mergers and Acquisitions database of Securities Data Corporation (SDC). Linking the data to a set of 24 key anti-takeover provisions of bidders, Masulis sought to determine whether these provisions encouraged less profitable acquisitions and to assess their impact on shareholder value. The 24 provisions included five major types of takeover defenses, including tactics to delay and deter hostile bids, to weaken shareholder voting rights, and to enhanced director/officer protection, among others.
The study —which appeared in a recent edition of the Journal of Finance —also involved more detailed analysis of the impact of six major ATPs which are believed to be the most significant from a legal standpoint. These included staggered boards, where only a third of directors are up for election each year; poison pills that allow existing shareholders to acquire large amounts of stock at a substantial discount when a hostile bidder acquires a large block of shares; and golden parachutes, or extraordinary severance packages for executives terminated or demoted after a change of control.
The presence of a staggered board turns out to the most significant indicator of managers inclined to undertake value-losing acquisitions. Further, a staggered board reduces the stock price reaction to an acquisition announcement by as much as 0.9 percent, representing a significant decrease in a firm's equity value. Other ATPs such as poison pills and limits to bylaw and charter amendments also had notably deleterious impacts on share price at acquisition announcements.
Masulis also examines the effects of other corporate governance mechanisms and finds firms that separate the positions of CEO and Chairman of the Board tend to make better acquisitions, lending support to recent calls for elimination of dual CEO/Chairman positions. In addition, Masulis reports that firms operating in more competitive industries fare better because "market competition acts as an important external corporate governance device that discourages management from wasting corporate resources."
New perspective in the debate over corporate governance reform
Masulis believes that his research contributes valuable new evidence to the discussion of corporate governance reform in the U.S., especially with respect to the ongoing debate about the future of Sarbanes-Oxley. First and foremost, future regulation should consider giving shareholders more power to evaluate a company's takeover defenses and assess the likelihood of value-destroying acquisitions. "Disclosure of the takeover protections that are in place should be stated in the company's proxy, so investors don't have to go to great lengths to obtain this information," he said.
In addition, he can envision the possibility of reforms that make the elimination of certain ATPs easier for shareholders to initiate. Principal among these, he said, is the removal of a staggered board, which requires a hostile bidder to win proxy fights at two successive annual shareholder meetings in order to exercise control over a target firm. Currently, the board itself —not shareholders —must initiate the elimination of a staggered board, an unlikely situation at best. In the meantime, shareholders can try to pressure directors to exercise their powers for shareholders benefit or risk having shareholder activists individually target them to be voted out of office when their terms eventually come up for renewal.
Above all, said Masulis, the study should prompt regulators and shareholders alike to reconsider the concept of what comprises "good" corporate governance. When it comes to ATPs, the likelihood of less profitable acquisitions and loss of shareholder wealth is "a compelling argument for re-evaluating costs and benefits of these frequently used governance mechanisms," he said.

For Djencia Eresa Augustin, helping to administer the oral cholera vaccine this spring was one thing she could do to fight the cholera epidemic raging through her country. Thanks to her efforts—and the partnership of hundreds of other community health workers, Haiti's ministry of health, and the nonprofit organization GHESKIO—nearly 100,000 people received the vaccination earlier this year.
"From everything I've seen, there is no one who was eligible for the vaccine who didn't want it," Augustin said.
For her and others on the front line of cholera epidemics—in Haiti and around the world—the announcement last week from a working group of the World Health Organization (WHO) comes as a welcome affirmation of their efforts. The Pan American Health Organization's Technical Advisory Group on Vaccine-Preventable Diseases (PAHO TAG) recommended expanding the use of the oral cholera vaccine in Haiti, based in part on data that Dr. Louise Ivers, PIH's senior health and policy advisor, presented on behalf of PIH and its sister organization Zanmi Lasante. Dr. Bill Pape presented data from GHESKIO's portion of the campaign.
"An important part of our campaign was to ensure that our experience informed the control of cholera in Haiti and in other countries," Ivers said. "While cholera vaccines aren't 'golden tickets,' we must move quickly to save as many lives as we can with the tools we have now."
During last week's meeting in Washington, DC, Ivers presented data from the successful vaccine campaign, which began in April and finished in June. For example, in a rural area near St. Marc, 45,368 people were vaccinated, and 90.8 percent were confirmed to have received the second dose—a very high completion rate.
In another piece of good news, the World Health Organization also endorsed a recommendation that a global stockpile of 2 million oral cholera doses be created to respond to outbreaks around the world—a major policy shift on the emergency use of cholera vaccines.
In Haiti, the work that PIH, the government, and other partners are doing to improve the country's water and sanitation infrastructure continues—and is critical. But vaccines are a necessary component of a comprehensive strategy to fight an epidemic that has killed more than 7,000 Haitians, sickened half a million, and continues to claim lives.
"The PAHO TAG recommendations to scale up use of the vaccine in Haiti and the WHO endorsement of a stockpile of cholera vaccines are both great strides forward for those at risk of cholera in Haiti and worldwide," said Ivers.

I can't believe she's over 2 weeks old already. What a whirlwind it's been! Madeline was active all along in my pregnancy and apparently couldn't wait to meet our family. She was born at 31w 5d weighing a whopping 5lbs 2oz. She's the big baby in the NICU and is doing really well. She needed breathing assistance the first few days but is now breathing on her own. She's just started taking bottles this week and we are working on breastfeeding as well. She's rooting and takes right to me the minute she's on my chest. We are hoping she will be home in the next couple of weeks.
I was diagnosed with placenta previa at 21 weeks and put on full home bed rest at 23 weeks after my second major bleed. The previa moved and I was taken off bed rest at 29 weeks. At 30 weeks I had a third major bleed that landed me in the hospital for good. They found a clot near my placenta at that point and on the morning of the 19th I had my fourth major bleed. That evening I felt some fluid trickling but assumed it was another bleed. Much to my dismay my water had broken! I had already had the steroid shots so they started me on magnesium to stave off contractions and try to keep her in a few more days. It didn't work and my contractions were 2-4 minutes apart. At 10:30pm they wheeled me into the OR and she was born at 10:47pm. Her heartrate had been steady since my water broke but started dropping into the 50's and they had to get her out. I had to be put under general anesthesia and it scared me to death. My hubby couldn't be in the OR with me so it was scary but when I woke I learned he could hear her scream the minute she came out. It was such a relief to know she was ok.
I'm still keeping up with all you ladies and I can't wait to see the news of all the births to come. I miss being pregnant but holding my little girl is the most amazing feeling. I can't wait for my son to meet her for the first time. He's too young to come to the NICU so he will have to wait until we can bring her home. So looking forward to that day!

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Hi Jaime:
Thanks for asking. Obviously, the behavioral manifestation will depend largely upon two issues: (1) the actual deterioration taking place and (2) the brain structure affected. Given that your question is general, I will broaden the reply.
Alzheimer's tends to be the poster child for deterioration, but other degenerative disorders can hit the brain (Parkinson's of Huntington's, for example). Typically, the most obvious manifestation is if the process hits either the hippocampus (affecting memory), or the cerebellum (affecting fluid movement and balance). Alzheimer's hits the memory centers and Parkinson's & Huntington's hit the movement centers most profoundly - Parkinson's creates small motor tremors and Huntington's creates "chorea," or large muscle tremors/spasms. Of course, they will all eventually kill the person (think Ronald Reagan with Alzheimer's or Mohammad Ali for Parkinson's) because as more of the brain is affected, deeper areas begin to feel the effects of the degeneration.
BTW - chronic long-term alcoholism will also "degenerate" the brain and create a condition known as "Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome." Although it is a bit different, think of it as a self-imposed Parkinson's. In the vernacular, most folks call it "wet brain."
If you are satisfied with the response, please hit "Accept." That is the only way I receive credit for my answer. Thanks-
Dr. Steve

Yeah that's also what I would recommend, PVLAN if you have Cisco
switches or others that support the same.
Alternatively, you could create a unique VLAN for every single port,
but that'd be a real pain to setup.
"The PVLAN edge (protected port) is a feature that has only local
significance to the switch, and there is no isolation provided between
two protected ports located on different switches. A protected port
does not forward any traffic (unicast, multicast, or broadcast) to any
other port that is also a protected port in the same switch.
Therefore, it provides isolation. Traffic cannot be forwarded between
protected ports at Layer 2. All traffic passing between protected
ports must be forwarded through a Layer 3 device."

Not bad at all for the Wetumpka, Alabama resident. That's a suburb of Montgomery for any of you who aren't familiar with the geography here. "The local guys aren't used to the river being like this time of year, so the local guys are basically just going fishing," says our boat driver Mike Noble, another Wetumpka resident. Vinson picked up his trolling motor and is making a short move to the other side of river bank, it appears. If he can cull and add a few more pounds, we may see our first 20-pound bag of the tournament later today.

The far left had early criticisms of President Obama, and now even the more mainstream Democrats are joining in: He is not tough enough. He does not fight enough. He is ineffective.
Perhaps, but he was the guy we hired.
Obama was elected on a platform to bring change to Washington ... his dream was an efficient bi-partisan government. He demonstrated that goal by coming to every issue not from a proposal of the extreme left, but a fair proposal closer to the middle. His totally-politically-motivated opponents did not see this as being fair, but being a weakness to exploit. And exploit they did.
Obama could have come to the health care debate swinging the single-payer stick. He didn't. He could have drawn a line in the sand, no debt increase without more taxes. He didn't. In each and every case the Republicans did not see this as an honest attempt to get to a middle quickly, but a weak starting point where they could apply the same old negotiate-from-the-extreme-right positions and win even more. And they did.
We elected Obama to do exactly what he is doing. We believed that somehow he could bring more unity to our nation's capitol. There was a big flaw in our belief though, a flaw that is now painfully apparent: The Republicans would simply not go for it.
We voted for with an almost blind sense of idealism, that a man who looked and acted so differently could encourage some real reforms in the politics of Washington. We understood when he sought the middle, because that is where they usually end up anyways. We appreciated the strength it took to break from the coming-from-the-extreme mold. What he promised was headily iconoclastic, where there would be less unproductive rancor and more responsible decision making. Boy were we wrong.
Right off the bat, the Republicans smelled what they thought was weakness in the air. They cemented that belief by publicly stating that their first and primary goal was to get rid of this "weak" President, the welfare of the country be damned. There are problems that have been festering for years, now they are all Obama's fault: We are still in wars overseas, companies are still not hiring, and taxes (which have not been lower since the 1950's) are too high. Not surprisingly, a faction of the Republican Party, the Tea Party, finally gained a foothold in this time of pile-on politics.
And the Republicans did not have to come up with solutions, because that too was the President's fault. It is much easier to sit in the cheap seats and take shots at the Commander-In-Chief than to make things better, in fact there is a growing perception that the goal is to make everything worse and hang that on the President as well. Actual detailed solutions are hard, and as long as the public is happy with finger-pointing nothing is getting done.
And this will not change until the 2012 election.
Unless Barack Obama does start fighting back.
President Obama, we applaud your efforts. We bought into the dream. But we have learned that you can't change the rules of the game unless both sides agree. And not only is the other team is not agreeing, they are dragging you and our well-meaning enlightenment through the mud.
And if you continue down this course, there are many of us that do not blame you. A steadfast attempt to bring some sort of reform to politics-as-usual is a noble cause, and if that is your legacy as a one-term President you could have done much worse. After all, after 50 or so years we did get some medical industry reforms, the teetering economy did not collapse, and hey, you even got Bin Laden.
But perhaps it is time to step back and look at the reality of the situation. Beating your head against the Republican wall hasn't seemed to even leave a dent. Yours is not the change they are looking for. In fact, it may have even made them stronger.
Perhaps it is time to take your intelligence and skills to the established game instead of trying to change it. Maybe it is time to treat the GOP reflexively instead of reactively. Many of us would applaud that as well.
It was a valiant effort, but maybe it is time to go back to the old ways and beat them at their own game.

On November 25, Bethesda filed an affidavit of ZeniMax Executive Vice President James L. Leder as evidence in the Bethesda v. Interplay case, which includes claims that the names Fallout Trilogy, Saga Fallout and Fallout Collection were never used prior to 2009 (this claim is entirely untrue), claims that Project V13 is a or claims that everyone associates Fallout with Bethesda now, like this one:
As a result of the inherent distinctivness of the FALLOUT Mark, and the efforts of Bethesda to finance, develop, advertise and promote "Fallout 3" over several years, Bethesda's customers and the public in general have come to know and recognize the FALLOUT Mark and to associate the Mark with Bethesda."
In a court document filed on December 9, Interplay motioned for the Leder Affidavit to be stricken (and if not possible for portions of it to be stricken), since it is based on "information and belief" rather than personal knowledge, is speculative and contains unfound conclusions.
Now, Bethesda filed an opposition to this motion.
First, all of the statements made in the Leder Affidavit are made upon Mr. Leder's personal knowledge, based on his experience as an executive of the company and having been directly involved in the company's efforts relating to the protection and promotion of the Fallout brand as well as in the events leading up to the dispute in this lawsuit. To the extent that certain statements in his affidavit were made "upon information and belief," they were made based on facts known to Plaintiff (and, in his role as Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Leder) at the time of the filing of the Complaint and Motion for Preliminary Injunction, and on good faith belief based on publicly available information which could not be reasonably verified without discovery because the information was the type that was uniquely within Interplay's control. For example, prior to any discovery from Interplay, Bethesda did not have any way of independently verifying whether "Project: V13" was "a code-name for an MMOG other than the Fallout MMOG" (Leder Affidavit ¶ 13), or whether "Project: V13" was a reference to "Vault 13" (id. ¶ 14), or whether "Interplay began packaging, advertising and promoting the sale of 'Fallout Trilogy' after Bethesda's launch of 'Fallout 3.'" (Id. ¶ 15). Rather, such statements were based on Mr. Leder's personal knowledge gained through his role as COO, and on inferences drawn from information received by virtue of that role. Just because good faith allegations are made on "information and belief" does not mean that such statements were not based on personal knowledge of the affiant. Second, Interplay has taken full advantage of the opportunity to test the basis of Mr. Leder's knowledge and statements contained in his affidavit in a deposition lasting over seven hours on December 9, 2009. Mr. Leder will also be testifying as Bethesda's only witness at the preliminary injunction hearing and, in that capacity, Interplay will once again have the opportunity to cross examine him and test the basis and depth of his personal knowledge. To the extent that Interplay suggests that Mr. Leder's affidavit is somehow the only evidence upon which Plaintiff must meet its burden of proof for purposes of a decision on the preliminary injunction is flatly wrong."
Bethesda also claims that, even if the affidavit were to be proven inadmissible at trial, the governing law is that the court "can and should consider even inadmissible evidence in deciding a motion for preliminary injunction".

THE Coalition is demanding the federal government shield taxpayers from costs associated with the Slipper affair by ruling out paying Peter Slipper's legal fees and seeking from him a guarantee he pay back any damages awarded against the Commonwealth.
The shadow attorney-general, George Brandis, wrote to his counterpart, Nicola Roxon, yesterday afternoon demanding the Commonwealth approach the lawsuit in a way that protects the interests of the taxpayer.
Ms Roxon has said it was ''very unlikely'' the Commonwealth would pay Mr Slipper's legal costs but Mr Brandis asked her to categorically rule this out.
In his civil lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, 33-year-old James Hunter Ashby has made claims against Mr Slipper and the Commonwealth.
Mr Brandis says the government should stipulate upfront that Mr Slipper pledge to repay any damages Mr Ashby might win against the Commonwealth.
The demands came as the government sought to capitalise on unsubstantiated rumours that Liberal Party activists had prior knowledge of the claims against Mr Slipper.
Asked about the claims yesterday, the Coalition leader, Tony Abbott, said: ''No one that I am aware of had any specific knowledge of this prior to reading the newspapers on Saturday morning.
''I think there are something like 100,000 members of the Liberal and National parties right around Australia. Can I guarantee that no one had any role, anywhere, in anything?''
The Treasurer, Wayne Swan, said Mr Abbott's answer was ''slippery''. But asked if he had any evidence of a link, Mr Swan said: ''All I'd say is, if you're as quick with the mud bucket as Mr Abbott is, you'd better be pretty clean yourself.''
Mr Swan claimed the federal budget would not be affected by the fact that Mr Slipper has stood aside during an investigation into allegations of fraud, concerning misuse of Cabcharge entitlements.
But the Tasmanian independent MP, Andrew Wilkie, confirmed yesterday he did not think Mr Slipper should resume the Speaker's chair until the civil sexual harassment case was also heard. Two other independents, Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor, have not yet made a decision on this point.
The government believes the Cabcharge allegations can be dealt with quickly but the civil matter will take months. If Mr Slipper was still stood aside when Parliament resumes for the budget and therefore unable to vote, the government's majority would again be reduced to one - meaning Mr Wilkie's bargaining position would be greatly strengthened.
Mr Slipper's disaffected former staff have reportedly formed a group called Survivors of Peter Slipper, or SOS, and, as happens in all political parties, several former staff have gone on to work for other state, federal and local Liberal politicians. But staff contacted by the Herald yesterday did not know Mr Ashby. Several said Mr Slipper had been meticulous about making sure his claims were within entitlement guidelines.
Mr Slipper denies all the allegations. Ms Roxon said Senator Brandis's thoughts were noted but, from opposition, he has ''no role to play in Commonwealth litigation''.

Music by David Friedman
Directed by Gus Kaikkonen
Lincoln in Love takes place in Springfield, Illinois at a crucial moment in young Abraham Lincoln's life. Having just served his first term in the state legislature, he is racked with doubt about his abilities, and he's also trying his first big case - a murder trial. Furthermore, young Lincoln is having such a hard time getting over the loss of his first, great love that he can't see his next, great love standing right in front of him. Throw in a duel and an attempted lynching and you have all the ingredients of a classic adventure tale… except this one happens to be true!
With Richard Todd Adams as Lincoln
and Jennifer Babiak as Mary Todd

August 1998-July 1999 is the date of the index, not the date of the article. The date of the index usually indicates when that particular volume was published. Because publishing a print volume is a lengthy process, the articles that are listed within an index are sometimes a little older than the date on the index.
That's why you can look in a 1999 periodical index and find articles that were published in 1998 (or even earlier sometimes).

By Gary Graves, USA TODAY
Speed, brakes and track length are among the areas an NHRA task force will investigate after initial findings determined several factors contributed to Funny Car driver Scott Kalitta's fatal crash on June 21.
Kalitta, 46, died after his Toyota Solara burst into flames near the end of a qualifying run at Englishtown, N.J., and continued down the track before hitting a television camera boom and exploding. The former two-time Top Fuel champion was the first NHRA Powerade Series driver to die during a national event since Top Fuel driver Darrell Russell in 2004 but the second driver death in as many years. Eric Medlen died in March 2007 following a Funny Car testing accident at Gainesville, Fla.
An NHRA preliminary report issued Friday cited the initial explosion as one factor in Kalitta's death and noted that parachutes did not fully deploy to slow his car traveling more than 300 mph. The car went off the top end of the track and up into a catch net pole before hitting the boom.
The drag racing sanctioning body, working with the New Jersey State Police crash investigation unit, brought in accident reconstruction expert David McCandless to examine the site. Ford and Delphi are also analyzing the "Blue Box" data recorders in an investigation police said could take up to six weeks.
The NHRA said its task force will include members of its racing community and former Funny Car and Top Fuel champion Gary Scelzi, Kalitta's friend and competitor, would be eager to contribute.
"If they ask me, I'm definitely interested," Scelzi said Saturday by phone from Norwalk, Ohio, where he's competing in the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Nationals.
Among the key factors to be probed from the NHRA finding:
• Speed. The NHRA added 50 pounds to Top Fuel dragster and 100 to Funny Cars this season in an effort to slow the cars, but it might explore other ways to limit or reduce speeds that have broken 330 mph.
• Shutoff areas. The NHRA has requested information from FIA, the Europe-based governing body of Formula One racing, to see if its design of runoff areas applies to drag racing. It will also examine military applications for improving catch nets.
• Parachute materials. Though fire did not appear to keep the chutes from opening, the report said, it will work with manufacturers, suppliers and SFI to identify more flame-retardant materials.
• Whether engine failure caused the initial nitro-fueled explosion, and how it can be reduced, and increasing brake efficiency when cars lose downforce.
While Scelzi was among several drivers welcoming the initial findings and the possibility of a panel to make the sport safer, he wondered if the circuit could go farther by re-examining the makeup of some tracks that were built when cars were racing nearly 100 mph slower. With no land available to expand track length, he said something needs to be done to slow the cars.
Defending Funny Car champion Tony Pedregon, who suffered minor burns while escaping from a similar explosion during a February race, said earlier this week that he has periodically pressed the NHRA on the issue of slowing cars because speeds have surpassed the capacity of many older facilities. One non-starter issue among drivers: shortening races to less than the traditional quarter-mile.
"There's so much history with the quarter-mile that I don't know if we could ever run on a shorter track," said Ron Capps, Scelzi's teammate. "We're already running at 300 mph but I don't think we need to run 330 mph. We need to slow the cars down, maybe take the rear spoilers off the cars because they're starting to look like the Batmobile. Doing that might make the car move around a little bit more and maybe it'll be better for the fans."
Scelzi and teammate Jerry Toliver said it would help if apparatus such as timing towers and billboards were moved farther away from the track to provide an escape route in an emergency.
For sure, both plan to speak their minds as the investigation continues and are glad the issue is being taken seriously.
"There are all kind of knee-jerk reactions that could be made but we need to work with the NHRA and this panel to make it safer," Toliver said. "I hope it's safer because I don't want to lose any more friends, and I'm not ready to go either."

what paint/ink shuld i put in a bingo marker for visibile tags on ANY coloured surface.

what paint/ink shuld i put in a bingo marker for visibile tags on ANY coloured surface.
black, white, dark, light, etc. would krink silver do it? just any ink that i can buy to refill.
kida are gettin stomped
The olick has spoken.
so silver will be high visible on a WHITE BACKGROUND???
kida are gettin stomped
i'll question all i want.
on a WHITE BACKGROUND.
or a CREAM background, rather.
a silver krink tag.. will be more obvious than a black marker tag? at night AND day?
also you CAN buy silver krink refills YES? because u cant buy refills for any other krink colour.
kida are gettin stomped
kid. quit bein a smartass.
u asked A color.
not colors. its pretty fuckin obviouse. black to light. light to black.
one color that covers EVERYTHING is silver.
yes. on white itll show. no, not better then black. but i bet ull wonder "why isnt my black marker working on this black wall?!?!"
once again. u asked for ONE color. if it was multiple colors then whip out the color chart and youll see EXACTLY the opposite color that shows best.
one color
covers everything better then nething
why dont you go out and try it. silver will just look grew on a white wall.
and can black be shiny?
no. so at night. silver is best to show on the smallest amount of light.
quick question
i got some berol powder paint and some patrol and iv tried making an ink out of it but i cant seem to get the right ratio
any suggestions...
and i got some aluminium bucket paint and some mineral spirits can i use the same ratio as ghetto krink...
innerbleedings dont ask questions then argue the toss when u get the answer silver or chrome is the best if u want it to be more permanent if ur just usin paint pens or ghetto junobo mid blue is probly the best coz u dont get many blue surfaces...
can we stop the bitchin now : )
Obviously black is more visible on white, and white more visible on black, but then you're using TWO colors.
Nevermind this rubbing alcohols starting to freeze. Anyways I have another question..if I evaporated water based ink from a woodsman, but a white woodsman, and scraped it into pen ink. What would I get? would it even mix? Cause it's ink but..Im totally clueless what would happen.
ok, this might be a total noob question, but i've never really fucked around with making inks. i've always stuck with the can, but whatevs
i've gone through most of this thread and didn't spot an answer, but maybe i missed it.
i got ahold of some Pilot Super Color Marker refill ink. I ain't got no alcohol right now, but I have some paint thinner handy. would that do to up the volume of this stuff?
is it any good?
what's a good ratio for mixing this stuff? gonna be filling a Zig fat tip.
bright ass pink. i got a molotow pink paint marker and its powns everything. Silver is your best bet for ink like shit though.
Time for a noob question, i know your supposed add it but what does dot 3 actually do when you add it, like whats its purpose, ive been playin around making alot of ink and was just wondering.
^its pretty corrosive(acidic) so when u add it, and put it on walls if it is painted over by mr.buffman than the acidity eats thru the paint so after a few layers of paint it still shos thru. also, it slows down the dryign proces for inks, so it takes longer to dry, givign it mroe time to sink into the surface, leaving a better stain.

Tuggeranong spinner Shane Devoy is planning to draw on Muttiah Muralitharan's vast experience when he gets up close and personal with the most successful bowler in Test history.
Devoy has been called into the ACT Comets squad for the three-match series with Muralitharan's Melbourne Renegades next Monday and Tuesday.
The Sri Lankan master became the leading wicket-taker in Test history with 800 scalps before he retired from international cricket last year after playing 133 Tests.
However, his unusual action, which had him no-balled for throwing on several occasions, makes passing any technical advice difficult to aspiring spinners, including left-arm orthodox tweaker Devoy.
''To play against Murali and get a chance to have a chat to him about his approach to the game will be a really good experience,'' Devoy said. ''He's a very unorthodox player, so it will be more about his approach and what his mindset is at different times, rather than anything too technical.''
Devoy gets his chance while Comets coach Mark Higgs is trialling with the Adelaide Strikers in an attempt to earn a contract for the Big Bash League.
But first, Devoy could be called on with the bat as Tuggeranong chases down Weston Creek's massive first innings score of 9(dec)-373 on the second day of their Douglas Cup clash at Stirling Oval on Saturday. Tuggeranong will resume at 0-17 after Byron Field put Weston Creek in the box seat with an unbeaten 134.
''Byron played one of the best knocks I have seen him play,'' Devoy said. ''The challenge for us is to bat as long as we can chase down the runs.''
Elsewhere, Queanbeyan is 3-102 chasing Eastlake's total of 204 at Kingston Oval, Ginninderra (2-13) will need a big effort to chase down Norths' 7-290 at Keith Tournier Oval and ANU (0-17) will be hoping the Jamison Oval pitch is just as friendly for batting as it was for Wests (6-345).

Deutsche Bank believes
The broker is positive on the company's outlook, believing that scrap prices will likely improve in the March quarter and that Sims has significant exposure to the recovering US market.
Deutsche says the company's strong balance sheet and 10 per cent on-market share buyback should also underpin the share price.
Potential acquisitions, given the strength of the balance sheet may also be on the cards.
The broker has a "buy" rating and $19.30 price target.

Aliph Jawbone 2
6 Recommendations
carolineoncrack's recommendation
With this new Jawbone bluetooth headset you get noise reduction technology that eliminates 90% of the noise around you so your caller can hear you. It also provides over 4 hours of talk time. It will comes in the cutely named Blah Blah Black and will soon be available in Goldy Lips and Silver Tongue.
JMichelle's recommendation
So I'm kind of upset about this new law California is passing come July 1st... the one that says you have to have a hands free set to use a cell phone while driving. I understand it's supposed to be safer, but I had a whole thing going.... answering my phone, driving with one hand... And does this mean no more texting while driving? (relax, I'm kidding). So I'm on the hunt to find a good, functioning, yet BEAUTIFUL bluetooth headset. After having its image constantly shoved in my face, I think the new Jawbone is the one for me. Not only is it "BEAUTIFUL"... it's also kinda sexy! I think I want it in silver or gold, though.
homebrown's recommendation
The latest jabra headset! It is the Jawbone 2 and is one of the best out on the market today. The smaller size is nice and it has improved noise cancellation! Perfect for your cell phone or skype!
My Collections:
er1n's recommendation
Actually, you are that important. You do need to be on your phone constantly looking like you are talking to the air.

jaystevens's recommendation
Function and Form!
renfield's recommendation
This is even better than the original - 50% smaller, lighter, looks less like star trek hanging off the ear. And the noise reduction is as good or better than the original. I love that it's lighter, so my ear doesn't get tired from the weight. The important thing is, you have to position it correctly- aimed at your mouth and with the mic side in contact with your face in order for noise reduction to work. Seriously, I can wear this in the car with the convertible top down and people don't hear the wind. It's that good.

Ann Friedman, former GOOD Editor and "Real Talk" progenitor, went to a Pussy Riot benefit show in L.A., describing the scene – and what everybody was wearing – for The New Yorker:
One of the opening bands finishes its set inside, and kids push through the metal doors and out into the alley. I meet two fifteen-year-olds, Lucia and Clara. Lucia's cheeks are flushed and a garland of plastic flowers is woven through her blond hair. She wears an tan-collared Boy Scouts of America shirt with "Boy" Sharpied out and rewritten, "Grrrrl," a short polka-dot skirt, and oxblood Doc Martens.
In other Pussy Riot-related news, there was an anti-Putin protest over the weekend in Moscow that drew at least 14,000 people. From the New York Times:
This protest, like the ones that first jolted the Kremlin nine months ago, featured mockery of President Vladimir V. Putin — largely sendups of a recent stunt in which Mr. Putin flew in a hang glider at the head of a flock of cranes.
The trademark neon balaclavas of Pussy Riot, whose members were prosecuted for singing an anti-Putin song in a cathedral, appeared on buttons and balloons and, in a basket carried by one marcher, on three disembodied mannequin heads. One demonstrator opened his vest for a photographer to show that he had shaved the image of a balaclava into his chest hair.
And about those modular synths, here's a grimy "Free Pussy Riot" modular get-down for y'all…

A BIRMINGHAM author has caused a storm among historians by claiming Jack the Ripper was a WOMAN.
Former solicitor John Morris, 62, has named Welsh-born Lizzie Williams as the Whitechapel monster – and claims she killed her victims because she could not have children.
Lizzie was wife of royal physician Sir John Williams, himself seen as a prime suspect by many other crime experts.
John's new book, Jack the Ripper: The Hand of a Woman, was written along with his late father Byron.
The men sifted through thousands of medical and legal documents to draw-up a compelling case for branding Lizzie the killer.
But John, speaking from his current home in Wicklow, Ireland, said their theory has not proved popular among Ripper experts.
He told the Birmingham Mail: "The case for a woman murderer is overwhelming. But unfortunately it does not sit well in some quarters where such a theory flies in the face of long-held beliefs.
