Police probing the murder of church organist Alan Greaves on Christmas Eve today released CCTV footage of two men they wish to speak to.
The mystery pair were filmed not far from where the 68-year-old dad-of-four was viciously attacked as he walked to Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve.
The officer in charge of the investigation urged "a mum, a dad, a brother, a sister, another relative or friend" to help them identify the men caught on film, who he believes could significantly assist his inquiry.
Det Insp Matt Fenwick said: "Alan Greaves deserves your help.
"Alan Greaves' family deserves your help — please make that call."
Former social worker Mr Greaves was set upon as he walked to his church in High Green, Sheffield, on Christmas Eve.
He died three days later in hospital with head injuries inflicted during the attack.
Two men were arrested on December 29 but they were both released on bail. They are not the men in the CCTV footage.
Det Insp Fenwick was speaking at a press conference in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
He said 50 police officers were involved in the case and had spoken to 300 members of the public.
He asked the public to contact them if they found anything in their gardens about which they were "concerned".
Police still have no motive for the killing – Alan was not robbed – and do not know what weapon was used.
The CCTV footage shows two men striding past some bushes near a lamp-post.
One is wearing beige trousers and a dark waterproof jacket with his hood up.
There is a light stripe on the arm and his face appears partially covered.
The second man has on a baseball cap and he is wearing a dark jacket and trousers.
The men were filmed hundreds of yards from the murder scene.
Crimestoppers have put up a £10,000 reward for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer or killers.

A Moment With ... Jack Mackenroth of 'Project Runway'
Published 10:00 pm, Sunday, December 16, 2007
The "Project Runway's" audience's collective heart broke when a staph infection ended Jack Mackenroth's campaign to rule Bryant Park. But there's absolutely no reason to feel sorry for the guy. Mackenroth may be off "Runway," but he has a cameo coming up in the "Sex and the City" movie.
Recently he made the tabloid for being in Bravo's first cross-show romance -- he's dating "Top Chef's" Dale Levitski.
But his first brush with gossip hounds came in October. A New York Daily News column spilled the beans that Mackenroth would leave in the fifth episode, but, being tabloid dirt, the report wasn't quite accurate. Only last Wednesday did "Runway" viewers witness the circumstances surrounding Mackenroth's exit -- he was not kicked off, as the column suggested, but left voluntarily to seek medical treatment.
Unfortunate though the circumstances were, Mackenroth is one of the few people who can say he left early but with his head held high. And people are interested in his work. He said someone who works for Janice Dickinson and Kathy Griffin requested some of his creations. "But the funny thing is, he wanted them in five days, and for free. I was like, OK ... um, no. That's great exposure for me, but we're all starving right now. I need to make money."
Latest Entertainment Videos
Mackenroth, who lives in New York, is set to return home to Seattle on March 1 to call the balls for Lifelong AIDS Alliance's Black Tie Bingo fundraising event. (And yes, he's trying to get Levitski to join him.) We had a phone chat the day after his final episode aired.
On having his "Project Runway" dream cut short by illness: "My health came first. That was that. But I was bummed. I can't sugarcoat it; I was completely heartbroken. I think I had a really good chance of making it to the finals. On the flip side, who knows if I would have made it to the finals? At least at this point, I can say I was never auf'd, I won a challenge, and I was never in the bottom two. How many people can say that?"
On the physical challenge of "Runway's" competition: "I think I lost 10 pounds in the first week. It's not that they don't provide us with food -- they feed us all the time. But it's during our work time. Basically you shove a chicken breast in your mouth, then you run back into the work space."
On having his exit spoiled by the New York Daily News: "I was furious, actually, because I knew it was going to come out ... I love the show, and I love the suspense of the show. We're under a very strict confidentiality agreement, you know. A big concern of mine was leaking anything, regardless of whether it was true or not. Part of the charm and joy of the show is the surprise factor. Spoilers ruin the fun for everyone."
On whether his HIV-positive status affected his ability to cope with the stress: "That wasn't the way I wanted to be publicized. I didn't want to be typecast the sick guy with HIV who couldn't handle the pressure. The two are totally unrelated. My immune system is amazing. There are plenty of people in my industry with HIV who are healthy and lead normal lives. It was just bad luck, honestly.
On overnight fame: "Sometimes it's really overwhelming, because I'm just one person, and I don't have an entourage or an assistant. I know it's just a window in time that won't be open forever, so I just try to make the best of the situation."
On whether he'd pull a Daniel Franco and return for season five: "Actually, the producers said, 'If you want to try to audition again next year, you're obviously qualified. We'll fast-track you.' With no guarantees, of course, they can't do that.
... "I would consider it, but it's such a big commitment. I don't think you really get the scope of it when you're watching on TV. But I would really have to sit down and have a long, hard, self-reflective period. I had such a joyful time -- I really loved the cast from this season. ... It's not out of the question -- let's put it that way."

Cable Subscribers Can Watch TV Shows Via Tweets
New "See It" feature from Comcast turns Twitter feed into an universal TV remote.
The partnership made between Comcast and Twitter today marks a pivotal point in the entertainment industry. For the first time ever, Comcast Xfinity subscribers can tune in to a TV show directly from a Tweet. Comcast developed a new Twitter feature called See It, which will allows Xfinity customers to watch On Demand shows, change channels, set the DVR and show reminders all with one click.
The concept of See It is fairly easy to grasp. Trending tweets about a show will feature a See It button, which enables users to activate the menu options, allowing them to connect to that specific show either on TV or a mobile device.
Starting November, See It will be available with shows on NBCUniveral's networks, including NBC, NBC SPORTS NETWORK, MSNBC, USA, BRAVO, and many others. Both Twitter and Comcast have intentions of expanding See It to other networks in the future.
In addition to See It, the business partnership also established a new advertising project between NBCUniversal and Twitter's Amplify program, which allocates sponsorship opportunities for video highlights of events or shows.

Written by: Russell P. Dawn
Although Anglicanism is now a worldwide phenomenon, its very name asserts its origins as an English tradition within Christianity. Thus, "Anglican" can be thought to indicate any Church body in communion with the see (bishopric--the place of a bishop's or archbishop's authority) of Canterbury. There eventually developed in Anglicanism, however, a self-understanding as a Church that blends Protestantism and Catholicism, but remains distinct from each.
The see of Canterbury was founded in 597, and the second English archiepiscopal see, at York, less than a century later. Relationships with the Church of Rome were further defined at the Synod of Whitby in 664. From that time until the 1530s, the English Church consisted of two remote provinces of the Church of Rome.
The story of the transformation of the English Church into a distinct and independent body is traced by many to the desire of England's King Henry VIII for an annulment of his marriage. Henry's wife was Catherine of Aragon, the widow of his deceased older brother. Henry and Catherine had no male heir--an heir that Henry saw as ordained by God--to carry on the Tudor reign. Convinced that their marriage was contrary to what he saw as a biblical mandate against marrying one's deceased brother's widow, and therefore cursed, he petitioned the papacy in Rome for the grant of an annulment, but was refused. It was intolerable to Henry that the future of the English realm was subject to foreign dictates--or truly to the dictates of anyone but himself. By the Act of Supremacy of 1534, he became Supreme Head of the Church of England, and broke from Roman authority.
Henry's break occurred after the Protestant Reformation (as the movement for religious reforms initiated by Martin Luther would come to be called) was already transforming religious, cultural, and political landscapes in continental Europe. Luther's teachings had reached England before 1534, and Henry himself was aware of Luther. But Henry despised Luther's ideas, and Luther's opposition to Henry's annulment widened the gap.
Consequently, the Reformation under Henry was a patchwork of mostly anti-papal, rather than pro-Protestant policies. The religious policies from Henry's reign that probably had the greatest lasting significance were the break from Rome, the licensing of the English Bible, and the preponderance of evangelicals (as Protestants were then known--this is not synonymous with later Evangelicals) in influential positions at the time of his death in 1547.
Henry did eventually have a son by Jane Seymour, the third of his six wives. Upon Henry's death, his son became King Edward VI at the tender age of nine. Influenced by his evangelical advisors, his brief reign saw the advance of Protestantism. The most enduring legacies from Edward's reign came from the pen of the evangelical archbishop he inherited from his father's reign, Thomas Cranmer. Cranmer devised a new liturgy for the Church, based on the medieval Mass but radically transformed by Protestant beliefs and embodied in the Book of Common Prayer (BCP), with editions released in 1549 and 1552. Cranmer's second great production was the Articles of Religion of 1553, a statement of the Church's beliefs that was relatively brief and accordingly subject to varying interpretations.

AN AUSTRALIAN man says he will return to Australia with a sense of overwhelming relief following his release from Bali's notorious Kerobokan jail.
Graeme Michael Pollock, who was caught in Bali last year with a small amount of the party drug ice, was greeted by family and friends as he emerged from the jail about 12.30pm local time (3.30pm AEDT) today.
The 31-year-old has spent six months behind bars in squalid conditions at the heavily overcrowded prison, which last month was the scene of a violent uprising by inmates.
"I'm happy, pretty happy,'' Pollock said, smiling as he was embraced by family and friends at the entrance to the jail, which still bears the scars of the recent unrest.
Pollock was then escorted to an office near Bali's international airport ahead of his return to Australia later in the day.
He was expected to board an Air Asia flight bound for Perth at 3.50pm local time, arriving back in Australia about 7.30pm (WST).
Pollock was arrested on September 17 last year at his hotel at Kuta Beach in Bali with a package containing 0.64g of methamphetamine.
He had been facing the possibility of up to 12 years in jail for possession.
But authorities instead only demanded a conviction for the use of illegal drugs and a sentence of six months after accepting Pollock's claim that he had been an ice addict for about eight years.
Indonesia is known for its harsh treatment of people caught with drugs, but the courts often show leniency to those who can prove a longstanding addiction.
Pollock was in Kerobokan during the riots that saw inmates take control of the prison on two consecutive nights last month, causing almost $10 million in damage.
Another 11 Australians, including the Gold Coast's Schapelle Corby and the Bali Nine, remain in the jail.
Victorian man Edward Myatt, arrested last month after he was allegedly caught trying to smuggle 1.1kg of hashish and more than four grams of ice into Bali in his stomach, is expected to be transferred to Kerobokan once he is formally charged.
The 54-year-old is set to face three charges, including trafficking, which could see him given the death penalty if convicted.

Yayoi Kusama: Life is the Heart of a Rainbow
09 June 2017 - 03 September 2017, 1000-2200
National Gallery Singapore
A day after Basic Military Training Centre shared a photo of a hyper-realistic and relatable expression of a new recruit having what looked like his last good meal in three months, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) decided to poke the Singapore Armed Forces because why the heck not?
The photo of a happy new recruit was accompanied with this line, "In SCDF, our recruits look forward to being part of the Life Saving Force."
The burn is strong with this one.
In SCDF, our recruits look forward to being part of the Life Saving Force. Here's to a fulfilling National Service! 🇬 #ANationofLifesavers
Posted by Singapore Civil Defence Force on Thursday, 7 January 2016
In fact, SCDF decided to edit its post 20 plus minutes later to include an additional hashtag.
Despite not having Western food and ice cream, the contrast cannot be more different.
Yes, the SCDF photo might not be a true reflection of the recruit's feelings. And yes, it's a stretch to say that SCDF recruits look forward to serving the nation but at least SCDF applied some logic and common sense to the selection of photos.
Or like what many wise men say: "Wayang a bit lah."
No wonder SCDF is winning at social media. Watch and learn, SAF.

William was a surprise guest at an event in London. He finished in 6m 10 seconds, cheered on by brother Harry.
Around 150 sponsored runs were held across the UK. They were followed by five hours of special BBC One shows.
The BBC reckons the final total will be a lot more than Ł11m when all the sponsor money has been collected.
Other celebrity runners included singer Rachel Stevens, chef Gordon Ramsay and Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Rachel said: "Everyone's really got into the spirit of the event.
"I think everyone up and down the UK who has taken part in Sport Relief should give themselves a big pat on the back."

A Link Between Worlds is about as close to a sequel as The Legend of Zelda has ever received. Often we'll see allusions to the previous Hero of Hyrule, a blonde boy in green, saving a previous Princess Zelda (apparently the royal name carries a bit of a curse) — but A Link Between Worlds' Hyrule is the same Hyrule as A Link to the Past. The same map, the same races, the same landmarks. It's actually set several hundred years after A Link to the Past (we'll abbreviate as ALBW and ALttP hereon). Ganon is long gone — but the game begins with our hero stumbling upon a new menace: a gender-ambiguous villain called Yuga who is turning people into paintings and nicking off with them.
Of course, fans know what happens next: you have to complete dungeons to collect the three pendants of courage, power and wisdom that will allow you to claim the master sword, followed by an in-depth adventure between two worlds to rescue the seven sages and defeat the game's Big Bad. In ALttP, the overworld was shadowed by the Dark World; in ALBW, Yuga's shenanigans have opened rifts in Hyrule to a mirror version of Hyrule called Lorule, presided over by the dark-haired Princess Hilda.
This is part of what gives the game its name. The other is Link's means of getting to Lorule: his new power. Using a mysterious bracelet, Link can slide into walls and sneak along in two dimensions; so not only is he between Hyrule and Lorule, he is between the 3D world and the 2D.
As an aside, this is tremendously effective when you have the 3DS's 3D capability switched on, and trust me — you'll want to at least try this. This is the first game I've seen on the 3DS that uses the device's stereoscopic 3D to good effect. It has a genuine sense of depth without being dizzying or headache-inducing, like so many games. It's actually the first game I've played on the console where I've kept the 3D turned on the entire time, just because it looks and feels amazing.

What do you think of the riots in Macquarie Fields? Please keep your submissions short or they will not be published.
What you said.
Give me a break 'Graduate'. We have all experienced boredom, that's no excuse to break the law. Stop being such a goodie goodie, that's the exact attitude that is allowing this antisocial behavior to spread. If they're bored, kick the ball on the oval or something. That's what I did and by jove, it was fun!
It was tragic that the 2 kids died, but this would have not happened in the first place if they didnt steal the car. Teenagers these days are out of control and need to be disciplined! Parents need to do their job properly and control their kids. Police are not to blame for this incident, they are only out there to do their job.
give me 3 minutes with these punks and i will sort them out. I am only 25 but I can say that the youth of today are lazy and ungrateful.
go and get a job
Society as a whole must take responsibility
for the welfare & welfare mentality.
How are the living conditions of these rioters
any different to those that might spurn a terrorist ?
The last police commissioner of NSW - Peter Ryan changed the culture from a Police Force to a Police Service. Police wear name badges, not any anonymous number on their shirts.
All these 'bored' kids need a good kick in the backside. Alleviate poverty, you say? What are they doing to improve their own situations?
Get off your bum and do something constructive
If only the police spend more time on handling criminals, and less time finding new speed traps to catch people doing 5 km over the speed limit.
I wonder whether had the youths killed innocent people during their zest for a little excitement if riots would have errupted. I think not....I have no empathy for the youths and believe that the end result was self inflicted, for all that the youths had to do was stop the car, and the end would have been different! It is a pity for their families, but one wonders what sort of parents bring up children to steal cars for sport!!
Elizabeth Jones
The sooner we microchip everyone, crime will reduce as everyone will be satellite traceable. We will know who is commiting an offence as it happens. No more riots, no more police hurt, and of course no more private individual freedoms.
Big Brother
Oh, that's intelligent Sheenagh, "blame the parents". Its not actually the fault of the driver or the others in the car for condoning the theft, blame their parents. Take some responsibility and admit that those who are dead and the driver of the car were all to blame.
The Duke
Police Minister Carl Scully, is quoted as saying, " This is intolerable and unacceptable behaviour." These riots have gone on for 3 nights straight, we are obviously tolerating and accepting the riots. The only way to stop this insanity is for the police to be given the support to fight back without fear of retribution from the PIC, internal affairs, Ombudsman etc
I just wished that the police had more power to use force, instead of standing there and getting crap from these kids.
If the parents of these kids are not educating them properly, then let the law educate them, before another kid crash in a stolen car.
More force
It takes TWO people for a chase to take place.
The police did the right thing, we pay them to uphold the law and the driver of the other car was breaking the law.
A newspaper article asked "why did they have to die?" well, der, they were KNOWN criminals with a history, they were stealing a car, they drove EXCESSIVELY fast through narrow roads. No one made them. The police tried to STOP them from speeding away. The police tried to save their lives. Ask the driver that ran away why they had to die, why he would not stop.
Why did they have to die?
These low life's deserve everything they get.
And talking of low life, how about the driver of the car who killed his mates and ran away like the coward he really is.
Blaming the police is an insult to all law abiding citizens.
I think the police showed amazing restraint in the face of the behavoiur of these morons.
But then, its always someone else's fault isnt it.
No go zones? Save that for Mogadishu or Belfast. For my part I know who I would prefer in charge of the streets of Western Sydney. Not a gang of marauding thugs, for sure.
Michal Poberezny
All you have to do is stop when asked to do so by a Policeman - I don't understand why this is so hard for people to comprehend. Just stop when asked, then nobody would be killed. Its all fun and games until someone "looses a life" adn then its all the Police's fault. Sorry - that doesn't cut it with me.
J Sullivan
This is just plain idiotic.
This mob should redirect their energy/anger to focusing on the idiot who STOLE the car and KILLED HIS MATES in the first place. It's not that hard to hit the brakes and be pulled over. It was HIS CHOICE to speed, runaway from the cops and really he should be the one getting lynched.
My full support goes to the NSW Police for doing their job.
Watching the media coverage I thought I was in another country. It is disgusting, and the rationale for the riot is anything but rational! What's Sydney coming to?
Tony Bennett
I must say, I've never been bored enough to steal a car. And i've had some pretty boring times. Also the irony of kids inciting violence to 'protest' about the deaths of their comrades in a violent manner astounds me. These kids need education. Not cures for boredom.
Any loss of life is deplorable, but the violent reaction to this is inexcusible under any circumstances. The biggest problem with our society, and the wider world for that matter, is the creeping in of the Political Correctness with a lax attitude towards discipline and failure of people to take responsibility of themselves. Coupled with the fact some people today are looking more at finding a reaction rather than a solution to problems, it's no wonder these sort of things happen and will continue to do so.
David Votoupal
LD, guess what? I do live in Macquarie Fields and I have good friends that live just around the corner from where the incident happened. I for one am absolutely appalled by the behaviour of the rioters. Those kids stole a car, the police did their job. If the rioters want to blame anyone, blame the driver that crashed the car and left his friends to die. Growing up surrounded by poverty and unemployment is no excuse. There are plenty of good kids in the area that have overcome these problems.
21 Yr Old from Mac Fields
Pointing the finger is futile. An incident which 'sparks' a riot is only the spark - you need a serious build up of flammable material for the fire we saw last night. When acts of civil unrest start occuring, either look past the emotional response and address the underlying socioeconomic issues, or look forward to more riots coming soon to a street near you.
My answer is simple, THROW THE LAZY BUMS IN THE SLAMMER! I refuse to see a single cent of my hard earned TAX dollar supporting these NO HOPERS further. This is the result of a social experiment gone wrong. Laziness breeds laziness. If they cannot positively contribute to society after all we productive people provide them with then they should not have further access welfare.
J. Elroy
I am very disturbed by the notion that people feel they have a right to riot about the Police doing their job. I expect the Police to try to catch the people who steal my car. I expect the Police to question "persons of interest" when crimes have been committed. Perhaps these people who feel they have been wronged could find some more productive outlet for their group energy. Hey Guys, get yourself in training, tomorrow the reins for maintaining a harmonious community will be in your hands. For now however you will abide by the law or pay the price.
Stop stealing cars. Get a job.
Don't throw rocks at the cops. They'll bust you and your life will be ruined.
Stop whinging. If you got it tough, show how tough you are and work out how to get out of it.
No sympathy for the devils
I hope that if I do something REALLY stupid and kill my mates, and then run away, like a coward, all the no-hopers and trouble makers will help my cause by rioting.
Grow up.
Go NSW police.
Live with your own actions.
Come forward culprit. Being bored and being a coward are two different things. Give yourself up and go to jail, see what a hard life is really like!
What type of society have we become? Teenagers steal a car, evade police and as a consequence they die. Tough really, but that's the sort of thing that happens when you don't take responsibility for your own life. Street protests which seek to shift the blame to INNOCENT police should be aggressively crushed and the parent of these idiots prosecuted. Let's ALL put an end to this nonsence!
Richard Murphy
I find it disgusting that these people are blaming the Police for the deaths of those two boys. It is unfortunate that the boys died, but they died as a result of their own actions. If they hadn't stolen the car, then the police wouldn't have been chasing them. My heart goes out to the Police Officers involved. Has anyone stopped to consider how traumatic these ordeals are for them..They are human beings as well.
Contrary to popular belief, these kids do have a choice - I should know, I grew up in a housing commission estate.
I now have a great job as senior consultant in a large private firm on a great wage because of the fact that I made the decision to do something with my life, unlike these other losers.
I know exactly the type of people these scum bags are and they have no intensions of ever doing anything worthwhile with there lives, end of story!
The rest of the public don't owe them anything.
Some mate who leaves his friends to die in the car he just crashed.
There's no excuse for the behaviour of the young men in the car or of the people in the riot. The police have a job to do, if you don't like it - don't break the law!
Since when was stealing cars entertainment?
If the left wing do-gooders in Macquarie Street hadn't destroyed discipline in schools, Kariong and the courts and hadn't emasculated the ability of the Police to control anti-social behaviour, perhaps these thugs might have a little more respect for the Police and society.

Subject: [htdig] banner ad alt text coming up
From: Clint Gilders (email@example.com)
Date: Thu Jun 08 2000 - 20:56:24 PDT
Hello Again.
One thing we have noticed is that the alt text from from our banner
ad rotation is being indexed. This would give a false match,
because the banner may have nothing to do with the actual page that it
is on, and it probably won't be there if the person visits the page.
Is there a way to stop the alt tags from being indexed?
The banner script is called like so:
<!--#include virtual="/cgi-bin/ads/ads.pl?rtn=available01" -->
and in the search results you get things like:
....Click here for Diamond Reptile Breeders......
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I recently had restylane injection to fill out the nasal folds or laugh lines. I got the work done by a registered nurse and not a plastic surgeon or a doctor. That was a major mistake. Instead of filling my laugh lines, the fold became even more noticable and the area to the outer of the laugh lines (cheek area) got plumped up and lumpy and i look like a cat. The nurse bruised my face really bad and I still have a green patch of bruise on the lower side of my right cheek. The result was so bad and I was completely stressed out so I went to a doctor to have all my injection dissolved. It has been almost 4 days since i went to the doctor. The big lumpy area (about the size of two big thumbs) on my right cheek is subsiding but you can still see the shape of a round lump next to my nose. I got my left side injection dissolved by the same doctor this morning and hopefully all will be gone and back to normal by next week. My major concern is the greenish bruise on my right lower cheek. I hope it is not permanent since it hasn't been improving and it has been over two weeks now.
Anyway, the overall experience is aweful simply becasue I trusted my face to the wrong hands. I had injections before by my doctor a year ago and the results were great. I don't know what got into me to go to a spa salon type of place to have my face done by a nurse. It is definitely a hard lesson learned. If anyone wants to do the injections, please make sure you go to an experienced doctor. No offense to the nurses but based on this experience, it is obvious, in my opinion, that they just simply do not have the expertise as the trained doctors or surgeons do even though i was told that the nurse who did my injections had over 14 years of experience in this area. I ended up wasting $1,000 and suffered emotionally from the "damage" that was done to my face all because of a bad choice. I still think injectables can do wonder if you go to a good doctor. I just hope the lumpiness can be completely dissolved becasue it is painful to look in the mirror and see a lumpy face. My face was much better before this is done! Too bad we can't go back in time.

Arguably one of the most underwhelming vehicles in its lineup, Ferrari's California isn't giving up just yet. After a tweak of the car's ECU, upgraded suspension components, and undergoing various aluminum manufacturing improvements, the two-seat cabriolet returns with 30 more horsepower and 30 less kilograms to help propel itself from 0-60 in a staggering 3.8 seconds. While already notorious for being the first GT car in Ferrari's history to have an engine mounted in the front of the chassis, the now all-new California, debuting at the Geneva International Motor Show later this month, will certainly not be forgotten.

Shark-Proof Wetsuits Ward Off Deadly Attacks
Scientists and designers developed underwater clothing designed to camouflage the wearer and warn them of nearby predators.
Scientists from the University of Western Australia, the folks over at Shark Attack Mitigation Systems, and Ray Smith, who used to design for Quiksilver, have created two kinds of wetsuits that are designed to deter shark attacks.
One wetsuit works by making the wearer 'invisible' to sharks. The suit is designed based on the concept that sharks are color blind. The suit with the Cryptic Pattern is meant to make the wearer difficult to see in the water. The pattern on the suit not only makes it difficult for a shark to see, but it also blends with the colors of the underwater environment. This wetsuit is designed for swimming, snorkeling and diving.
The other wetsuit with the Warning Pattern works by warding off sharks by making the wearer look overtly unlike any shark prey. This wetsuit is designed for swimming, surfing, and shallow diving.
The suits have been in development for two years and have been tested in the water early this year. The tests were filmed by a National Geographic crew for a feature piece scheduled for this month.
SAMS partnered with online distributor Radiator Wetsuits for the sale of the wetsuits, which retail at $495.

Hoi An here we come!!
The place for tailoring!!
Wednesday 6th March
After a rather long, grotty 12 hour journey on a sleeper bus we arrived in Hoi An (right by the river) and caught a taxi to find some accomodation. After a little while we managed to find a 'hotel' (not a hotel compared to the one we had in Nha Trang that was for sure!!) The hotel was quite unclean for the price so we said we would move next door but they obviously wanted the business and dropped the price to 6USD a night for us each rather than 8, so we stayed and adapted to the room!
We were feeling tired so Soph went for a nap and I caught up on my emails with friends and family. We then ventured out - in the dull, dark, dreary weather which was a bit of a shock compared to Nha Trang where the sun did shine at times!! It even started to rain when we were out walking and exploring. 9/10 shops here are tailoring shops. If you want a smart suit, shirt, dress; Hoi An is the place!! We've both said we are going to bring our family out here and get them suited and booted!! If England had this service, they'd be doing well I feel! There was hundreds of tailors, literally! And the service is very fast! So to lighten up our moods during this dark, damp day we did a little bit of retail therapy and hit our bank balance well!! A little - I mean, about 5 hours!! Typical girls eyy! We both had some dresses made for us (3 for Soph, 2 for myself and I did buy a north face jacket which I will take with me for the north and NZ. A fake I know, but hey ho! Cheap!! So after a thoroughly well spent day (money wise) and enjoyment we had some food and hit the sack.
Thursday - The next day we had our fittings for our dresses/collections so again day 2 in Hoi An was another 'mooch' around day - dangerous!! But we didn't go as mad this time, quite sensible in fact! We dined out, had some lovely Vietnamese dishes and some cold, refreshing fruit shakes through the day. Again, the weather was cold compared to what we have been used to (wearing hoodies and trousers) but a little brighter than yesterday. So the last two days we've walked endlessly around the pretty town of Hoi An and bought some rather good bargains and goodies. I decided to hire a motorbike for a few hours in the afternoon, dare devil I know! It cost me 5USD and I had to fill up on my own accord. Which was very entertaining to say the least at the petrol station! Especially when I couldn't pop the button to open the petrol catch! But we got there and I had a good old blast around the city. I managed to accidentally go down a one way street the wrong way, so a rather angry Vietnamese man came out shouting and waving his arms which entertained me, broke my flipflop whilst attempting to put the stand down (when picking up Soph from the hotel for a ride on the back) and ran a red light just to cause some excitement to my experience of driving the streets of Hoi An!! Picked Soph up and we went for a bit of an explore, we soon got to just with the balancing of the two of us and we were away! Both loving life on the motorbike! By this time it was approaching night time, and I was failing to find the lights (had a bit of a blonde moment) but found them just in time for darkness! We went around by the river which was so pretty and such a sight to see. They hang up colourful lanterns all around the shop corners, through the streets and on the bridges - fascinating! We've got pictures from these last few days which we will put up when we can. The computers here are so slow, so bare with us please!
Friday (today) we picked up our final dress and had some breakfast in a local cafe. We also sent our buyings from Hoi An back home, which cost a bit (we decided to go by Airmail as there wasnt' a huge difference in price compared to sea mail and it takes very little time compared to shipping it over) but there was no way we could fit it all in our rucksacks, and being girls didn't really want our dresses scrunched in a bag for another 3 months or so!! We are waiting for our bus now which will take us to Hanoi (North), as you can tell we LOVEEE bus journeys (haha) but this one is a killer - 500 LONG MILES so its a long 'un! Wish us luck! You have to feel for us!!!

Thanks for the feedback!
Can you collect long term disability and Florida state disability for cancer?
Cancer is one of the leading causes of disabilities. You may be eligible for benefits under your long term disability policy if your cancer prevents you from performing …your work duties. Florida does not have state disability. Their are only five states that do: CA, HI, NJ, NY, and RI.
How do you collect short term disability in the state of Maryland?
Maryland does not have state disability coverage. If you have a private policy, contact your insurance company's claims department. Check with your HR department fo…r this information.
In California can you collect unemployment after state disability?
You can collect unemployment after state disability if you are healthy enough to return to work, and your employer terminated your employment during your disability. The termi…nation can not be related to your job performance.
In the state of Louisiana can you collect unemployment and disability at the same time?
Yes, you can collect both, but your unemployment will be offset by any disability benefits you receive. You also have to be ready, willing, able and actively seeking full time… employment to qualify for the unemployment compensation. See the Related Link below for more details.
Why can't I collect long term disability and social security disability at the same time?
There is a very wide variety of "insurance" coverage from employers, public sources and private policies, and you should address your questions to the administrator of the ins…urance plan in order to get an accurate answer - but in general... Social Security Disability Benefits aren't a means tested program; eligibility doesn't depend on whether or not you have some other means of support. Most long term disability insurance is designed to replace your income in conjunction with Social Security disability benefit so that the sum of the two benefits enables you to continue in a lifestyle similar to the one you had before you became disabled.
Can you collect Workers Comp and Disability Insurance in the State of Mass?
Yes, the disability insurance payments can be paid on top of any workers comp payments received, if the policy's benefit is not integrated with any supplemental benefits. If y…our disability insurance policy is integrated with supplemental disability benefits, then the disability payments will be offset dollar for dollar by any mount received from workers comp or social security. That's why when you get a disability insurance policy, it is advised to include all or most of the disability benefit amount as "base benefit" which does not offset by any supplemental benefits received.
Can you collect California state disability and Social Security Disability at the same time?
You should be able to. If you are working past retirement age and paying in to state disability you should be able to collect up to 12 months. State disability is different th…en federal social security. If you are paying in and its within the 12 months you should be eligible to collect on what you paid for, it is insurance.
Can you collect state disability from Oregon while I'm on maternity leave?
Oregon does not have state disability. A private short term disability policy would cover your maternity leave, provided your coverage began before getting pregnant.
How long do you have to be out of work to collect short term disability?
It depends - on your short term disability elimination period. If you live in a state with mandated coverage, check with your state's department of labor. If you h…ave a private policy, see what elimination period you selected. The elimination period can be as short as 0 days for accidents, and 7 days for sickness, or as long as 3 months or more.
How long can a child collect social security for disabled parent?
If the child is collecting Social Security Disability from the disabled parent's benefit, he or she may generally collect it until the age of 18. However, under current law, i…f the child remains a full-time student, benefits can continue until age 19.
How long do you have to be out of work to collect long term disability insurance?
Long term disability benefits may be a benefit of employment, or provided under an individual policy purchased by the insured. In either event, the terms of the benefit will b…e defined in the plan or policy. These include the duration of time that the insured must be out of work, due to a disabling injury contemplated by the policy, before being entitled to payments. That period of time is called the "elimination period".
Can you collect state disability from NJ while on maternity leave?
Yes, NJ State Disability covers your maternity leave for normal pregnancy and delivery.
Can you work any while collecting long term disability?
This will depend on the type of Disability contract you have, and also the exact situation. If you are partially disabled, meaning that you can still work a few day…s a week or a few hours a day, but have suffered a loss of income because of the disabling illness or injury, then the answer is yes. You are able to work, and will normally be required to work partially. During this time frame, you will receive (assuming your policy has this) Residual Disability benefits, which is essentially partial benefits. If you are totally disabled and unable to do your regular form of work, then the only way you are able to work is if you have a "Pure Own-Occupation" Disability policy and the work you are doing is considered a different occupation. Most Disability contracts are what is called "Modified Own-Occupation" Disability policies, which will protect your specific job, but will not pay full benefits if you are gainfully employed elsewhere.
In Illinois
Can you collect disability from the state of Illinois?
Illinois does not have state short term disability. Social Security disability is a federal program. You can get short term disability in Illinois by through your e…mployer, or by working with an agent.
How long can you collect disability?
People can collect disability for as long as they are considered disabled. If someone is receiving and afraid of losing benefits they should speak with their local SSI abo…ut it.
Can you collect benefits from both California state disability and the disability insurance that your employer offers?
You will have to check your employer's disability policy. Some will integrate benefits with state disability, and others will be considered as supplemental. A supplemental pol…icy allows you to collect benefits from both.
Can you collect unemployment while on Social Security Disability in the state of New York?
To collect unemployment you have to be actively seeking work and able to do the work. Receiving Social Security Disability implies you may not be able to either, so probably n…ot.

Confusion over Arafat's condition
Page Tools

Palestinian officials in the West Bank have said that President Yasser Arafat's condition was stable but serious, rejecting earlier reports that the Palestinian leader was in a coma.
"It's not true at all that Arafat went into a coma,'' Tayeb Abdul Rahim, a senior aide, told reporters in the West Bank city of Ramallah.
Palestinian cabinet minister Saeb Erekat said he had spoken with Arafat's wife Suha, who told him her husband's condition was stable but serious.
In Jerusalem, Palestinian Cabinet official Saeb Erekat called reports Arafat had lapsed into a coma "baseless.''
Erekat told The Associated Press that Arafat's wife, Suha, told him Arafat' condition was "stable but difficult.''
Regardless, the Israeli military was placed on high alert, and was following the developments closely, Israeli security sources said.
The Israeli army has a contingency plan, called "new leaf,'' to deal with the fallout from Arafat's death, including possible Palestinian riots.
Earlier, a Reuters quoting Palestinian aides said Arafat was in a coma and in critical condition in the intensive care unit at a French military hospital after his health suddenly deteriorated.
The aides said doctors carrying out tests on the 75-year-old leader since he was airlifted to France last Friday still did not know what was wrong with him, despite ruling out leukaemia.
"Arafat is in a coma and in a critical condition,'' a senior Palestinian official told Reuters.
Aides had earlier said he was in serious condition in the unit where he was moved on Wednesday.
A briefing by the hospital had been expected at 11am (2100 EAST) but was put off without any explanation.
"New tests have been carried out including an endoscopy (visual internal examination). Nothing was found out from those tests,'' a senior aide said earlier.
Arafat, for decades a symbol of the Palestinian struggle with Israel for a state, was rushed to France from the West Bank last Friday with severe stomach pains, diarrhoea and vomiting.
Arafat's slide into illness has raised fears of chaos among Palestinians locked in a 4-year-old uprising, and the death of a leader Israel and Washington see as an obstacle to peace could shuffle the cards in the Middle East conflict.
The French doctors said on Tuesday that Arafat was responding to treatment although aides said the Palestinian leader could remain in the hospital in a southwestern Paris suburb for several more weeks.
The doctors did not immediately comment on Arafat's latest condition.
Leila Shahid, the Palestinian's permanent envoy to Paris, earlier said that there was a setback in Arafat's health and that doctors were trying to find out what had caused that.
"Obviously in his case, there could be setbacks at times and this is a setback,'' said Shahid. ''(On Thursday), the doctors will give a very clear and direct explanation and report on what is happening.''
Arafat, loved by most Palestinians and reviled by many Israelis, has named no successor since emerging from exile under interim peace accords with Israel in the early 1990s.
Aides have been keen to present Arafat as still in charge. He has temporarily delegated powers to two men - Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie and Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian leader's number two in the Palestine Liberation Organisation.
Palestinian officials said Farouq Kaddoumi, another senior PLO official, had arrived in Paris to see Arafat.
Earlier today, Arafat had sent congratulations to US President George Bush on his re-election.
Bush has backed the idea of a Palestinian state as part of a peace deal but has tried to shut Arafat out of Middle East decision making.
Both Washington and Israel accuse Arafat of fomenting violence in the uprising against Israeli occupation in Gaza and the West Bank that broke out in 2000, a charge he denies.
Until he was airlifted to France, Arafat had been effectively confined to his shell-shattered Ramallah headquarters by Israeli forces for two-and-a-half years.

"This man welcomes sinners and eats with them." Luke 15:2
Church marquees, those lightbox structures displaying the sermon title or a scripture passage, are the first indication of what lies within. Who decides the wording gets to be the face of that church, the first impression.
I don't often see the sign above: "Come, eat with us sinners." There are lots of sermons preached about avoiding sin, but the logic of this includes avoiding sinners, meaning other people who are the occasions of sin. The real test of this is at the Communion table, where in some churches sinners must be turned away because Communion has come to be seen as a reward for being good, not as a means to forgiveness and healing. Good people fear contamination from bad people. If we have advanced in age and experience enough to know that good and bad come together in most of us, we are told to at least leave our failings in the confessional first, then come to Communion. Wash your hands, then come to the table.
The only way to get past this deeply ingrained theology is to go back to the source. Jesus welcomed sinners and ate with them. He said he was a physician and they were his patients. Where does it hurt, let me see, let me touch the place, come close. Eating was an intimate affair, everyone gathered around the common dish, leaning and dipping in with pieces of bread, talking face to face at close range, within the bubble of shared breath and personal scent. No hand sanitizers, spiritual or otherwise, to protect you. And he did this publicly, openly, coming under the scrutiny of the legalists and purists, who saw proof that Jesus must be one of them, a bad person.
Jesus shared bread and himself without condition, must have believed that contamination went both ways. Goodness is also contagious, mercy overcomes awkwardness. Let the hungry come and eat.
The two worlds, of Jesus' unconditional love and respectable religion with its rules and distinctions, do not come together simply or easily. Hospitality tends to blur worthiness in favor of spontaneity, makes for better parties, even as a touch of scandal makes for more interesting conversation. We will be judged by the company we keep.

It looks as if Kia is hard at work sorting out some of the suspension woes in the company's Sorento. Photographers spotted this camouflaged version thrashing around the Nürburgring recently. More often than not, manufacturers use the track for suspension development, and while the Sorento debuted to generally strong reviews, its stiff-legged ride came in for criticism. That complaint was addressed with the uplevel SX trim and its dual-flow dampers, which were subsequently retrofitted to the

Guess where I'm eating huevos rancheros east of Denver in farmers' market country?
Lori Midson
Last weekend, I went farm-hopping in Brighton, Greeley, Henderson and Broomfield, and while Bing cherries, Inferno peppers (good God, those suckers are hot), apples, peaches, purple plums and heirloom tomatoes are all fine for snacking on in between stops, I was hankering for a real breakfast, which I found at this off-the-beaten path Mexican joint on a side street in a strip mall.
Can you guess where I'm eating?

how to balance this equation by using electron ion method
1. C2O4(-2 charge)+ MnO4(- charge) + H(+)-----> CO2 +Mn(+2 charge)
i really would love to help but i seriously don't know anything.
1. Pick MnO4^- ==>Mn^+2 in acid solution.
2. Pick what is changing oxidation state. That is Mn.
3. Mn goes from an oxidation state of +7 on the left to +2 on the right. Add electrons to the appropriate side to balance the change in oxidation state.
MnO4^- + 5e ==> Mn^+2
4. Count the charge on the left and right. On the left we have a charge of -6 and on the right +2.
a. If acid solution, add H^+ to balance the charge.
b. If basic solution, add OH^- to balance the charge.
This is an acid solution so we add H^+ to the left side to balance the charge.
MnO4^- + 5e + 8H^+ ==> Mn^+2
Adding the 8H^+ gives a +2 charge on both sides.
5. Now add H2O (usually to the opposite side) to balance the added H^+.
MnO4^- + 5e + 8H^+ ==> Mn^+2 + 4H2O
which usually balances the oxygen (but not always).
6. Check it to make sure it balances for
a. atoms
b. charge
c. oxidation change.
That is the process.
7. You do the C2O4^= to CO2 the same way but its much simpler.
C2O4^= ==> 2CO2 + 2e
8. You want the electrons to cancel. Note that the electrons are on different sides. Since they are to cancel, we multiply equation 1 by 2 (to make 10 e) and we multiply equation 2 by 5 (to make 10 e).
9. Add the multiplied equations, cancel anything that appears on both sides and you have the final equation. It looks like this.
2MnO4^- + 16H^+ + 10e + 5C2O4^= ==> 2Mn^+2 + 8H2O + 10CO2 + 10e.
10. The electrons cancel. Now check it.
I see 2 Mn on left and 2 on right.
I see 28 O on the left and 28 on right.
I see 16 H on the left and 16 on right.
I see 10 C on the left and 10 on right.
I see +4 charge on left and +4 on right.
Check my work.

Tyco ex-boss granted $10m bail
A state court judge granted Mr Kozlowski and Tyco's former chief financial officer, Mark Swartz, bail backed by either cash or Tyco stock during a hearing in a Manhattan court.
The judge, however, has yet to determine whether the $10m (£6.4m) in bail is tainted, acquired through illegal means when Mr Kozlowski was still the top man at Tyco.
Prosecutors questioned the source of the funds and have until next week to present evidence that the proceeds were attained through criminal acts.
"We need to speak to witnesses before making a determination as to whether we will accept the funds," lead prosecutor John Moscow from the Manhattan District Attorney's office said at the hearing.
Criminal enterprise
The judge in the case, Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Michael Obus, set a hearing date next week to decide the bail issue.
He will also decide whether Mr Kozlowski and Mr Swartz will serve time at Riker's Island, an infamous New York prison known as one of the toughest in the New York state corrections system.
Mr Kozlowski's ex-wife, Angie, is expected to put up $10m of his $100m bond on Thursday.
Mr Swartz is expected to post $5m security on his bail amount of $50m with shares of Tyco stock, either on Thursday or Friday.
Both men were released following the hearing.
They now await charges of using the firm as a "criminal enterprise" and are scheduled to appear in court on 27 September.
Lavish spending
Mr Kozlowski's assets have been frozen following his indictment last week. Prosecutors believe much of his cash and property was acquired through fraudulent accounting.
Messrs Kozlowski and Swartz have been charged with stealing more than $170m from the company and defrauding investors.
Mr Kozlowski reportedly used company funds for lavish personal spending and forgave $96m in company loans to 51 employees, including himself.
If convicted, both men face up to 25 years in prison on corruption and larceny charges and up to 30 years on conspiracy charges.

This, or something like it, is how food adverts might be if Tessa Jowell's crusade against fat takes off. Though normally just called "culture secretary", her responsibilities range from the regulation of television to competitive sport in schools, and she has decided to use the new broadcast regulator Ofcom to take on the major food companies.
She believes the government must give "very strong leadership" on the issue of obesity. "Our example is Finland, where 10 or 15 years ago, if you looked at their rate of coronary heart disease, it was relatively high and about 30% of the population were physically active." Now, thanks to government action, "70% of Finns are physically active and their rate of coronary heart disease has come down, and they are not facing the sort of obesity crisis that we are. Our ambition over the next 15 to 20 years is to achieve similar progress."
With the select committee of MPs interviewing high-calorie food giants such as McDonald's and Cadbury ahead of a report due in January, and a warning from the Food Standards Agency that the obesity problem is "a ticking timebomb", there really is a political crunch ahead for the processed food industry. Jowell has put together a series of initiatives to try to stop the childhood obesity timebomb exploding, including encouraging school sports and, significantly, tightening the code on advertising to youngsters.
She is to ask Ofcom, which comes into being in January, to give the code teeth (clean white ones): "I hope that it will be tightened up ... and I hope it will reflect the willingness of the food manufacturers to promote healthy eating."
When I protest that it's hardly in their interests to have children eating apples instead of crisps and sugary snacks, she offers a coded warning. "It is in the industry's interest to work constructively in the public interest," she says, and if they don't, the government has a "protective responsibility" towards the public: "We are determined that we are going to provide this protective context."
Her enthusiasm for the sports side of the plan increased after her brush with England's rugby heroes when she was sent out to Australia (and back, all within 36 hours) to watch the World Cup final. "It was wonderful", she says, "and for every bit I feel jetlagged now, it was worth having been there."
Then, just slightly to her officials' consternation, she starts to recount how "I was taken down to the dressing room after the match: can you imagine anything more thrilling?" When I ask her whether it is true that rugby players all jump in a steamy, muddy, soapy bath together after a match she starts to laugh, as her special adviser jumps in to say, "Secretary of state, control yourself".
Jowell mocks the old politically correct hostility to competitive sport for children: "It was completely and utterly wrong, and certainly when my children were at school I fought a lone campaign as the mother who always wanted a sports day where the children could run races and win prizes." Her son Matthew now wins plenty of prizes. A talented junior golfer, he went to high school in the US after taking his GCSEs in Britain, "and had the benefit of some of the best coaching in the world".
That left Jowell worried about the opportunities for youngsters over here: "I felt this exposed a huge inequality in the access of young people to really achieve the excellence that they may be capable of." To remedy this, the government is to introduce talent scholarships from next year, settling a "dowry" on young people who show a particular talent "so that they can get the bespoke training they need in order to achieve sporting excellence".
If sport and education about food are the new battlefronts in the slow war to make Britain healthier, what about the old issue of smoking in public places? This has to be done incrementally, she says, and again, by working with the industry. "I think that leaping from no intervention and no negotiation with the industry to a ban is counterproductive."
Yet, "you have to be prepared, if it's quite clear that voluntary agreements are not going to work, to move incrementally to a ban if the evidence shows that a ban is the only way that you will secure the desired result". And what is the desired result? "The end would be a presumption that public places are smoke-free."
There is one other aspect to Jowell's job that is even more controversial: after all the hoo-hah over Hutton, her department is responsible for the future of the BBC. There have been persistent rumours that the government wants to get its own back after the bitter row during the summer. Jowell denies this absolutely: "Relations between the government and the BBC won't effect negotiations over charter renewal."
But she has a radical idea for deciding what will happen. Next week, at a speech to the Royal Television Society, Jowell will tell the corporation's finest that their future is now in the hands of the people who fund it - the ordinary licence fee payers. "The public will decide the future of the BBC," she says, announcing a consultation period which will stretch from Christmas to Easter. Everything will be up for discussion, from the number and type of channels to the bitterly divisive issue of whether the BBC should chase ratings or concentrate on public service broadcasting.
The consultation will take the form of town hall meetings, other public forums, different kinds of polling and media events, as well as the usual discussion with those inside the industry. And what if a view should emerge which opposes the licence fee? "There would have to be an emerging proposition that was better than the licence fee. I've been asked on a number of occasions whether I still stand by the view that an alternative to the licence fee is somewhere between impossible and improbable, and the answer to that is yes, because a better proposition has to come forward. Now a better proposition may come forward, and I am entirely open to that, but the default position remains the licence fee."
Jowell admits to feeling an affection for the BBC and tries to make light of the recent tension. "If I could ever look forward to a year when there wouldn't be strained relations between the government and the BBC then I would be a dewy-eyed optimist." It's all part of "creative tension", she suggests, before going on to rebuke both sides for becoming obsessed with their mutual bickering: "People like you and me may have become obsessed about this so-called row between the government and the BBC, but when I've been doing consultations with my constituency, not one person has raised the row - it's a marginal issue."
And that, perhaps, is the BBC's best hope when Lord Hutton finally reports - that ministers taking on the food giants as well as everyone else just won't have the motivation to try to pick another fight with the nation's main broadcaster too.

The mining industry 's tax and royalties bill is expected to come in at $22.7 billion for financial 2014, the second-highest level on record, and the sector is seizing on the fresh data to pressure the Senate to push on with the stalled repeal of the Minerals Resource Rent Tax.
Mineral Councils of Australia chief Brendan Pearson says the industry's bill remained high despite a drop of almost 50 per cent in commodity prices since the lofty heights of 2011-12.
"This does underline that we are paying an effective tax rate above 40 per cent, when you combine the tax rate and the royalties," Mr Pearson says.
The council is attempting to get on the front foot ahead of a looming Federal Government tax review and constant royalties revisions by state governments.
New estimates by Deloitte Access Economics in a report released on Wednesday show that the minerals industry paid $22.7 billion in tax and royalties in financial 2014, and $19.1 billion in 2012-13. The report was commissioned by the MCA.
Despite weaker commodity prices, a huge increase in iron ore and coal production in the year just ended helped buoy volumes
The figures are short of the $24.5 billion paid in 2011-12, when commodity prices where at there peak and there was no MRRT or carbon tax.
Mr Pearson said the latest data shows the mining industry pays its "fair share" and reinforces their argument that the MRRT is unnecessary.
"It just shows you that the MRRT was never necessary, we need to get that off the books. We never needed this third-tier tax to deliver a dividend to the public purse.
The MRRT was just $170 million of last year's bill and cost $310 million in financial 2013.
But Mr Pearson called on the Senate to move quickly to repeal the tax, saying the industry was hopeful it would be quashed within the next two months.
The Deloitte estimates also include the carbon tax, which was repealed in the Senate at the eleventh hour last month.
"It's a tough time for the sector," Mr Pearson said.
"Volumes should be up again, we just hope they are bolstered by better prices.
The mining industry pays almost 25 per cent of company tax in Australia, up on 8 per cent a decade ago.
The MCA said the numbers, "comprehensively puncture the wall of sound from the Greens".
"It is time to move on from the notion that there are easy gains from ever higher taxes on mining."

40 of 40: Day 32 & 33
OK - SICK! oy!
Anyhow, no excuse.
So, I just finished watching the latest episode of GLEE on FOX which I love! This week, Kristin Chenoweth starred as a woman who dropped out of high school 15 years earlier, now making her 33ish. Through out the show, the high schoolers kept referring to her as "ancient" and "old." Harsh. However, what do you expect from the high school set?
That said, that is the only place I feel 40 is a detriment to my street cred - with young people. To them, 40 sounds really old - and it won't in about 20 years. I used to be my church's youth leader and young peope have always been important to me. So, even to feel old to them makes me a little blue.
And, if I'm being completely honest (and why not), even men in their 20s whom I have been known to date, think 40 is, well, ancient. That's a kick in the nads! I know I don't look 40, but I never want to resort to lying about my age; I think it lacks grace. I mean to grow old gracefully, with a smile, grey hair and a well chosen wardrobe... and perhaps and younger man on my arm. is there a male equation of a cougar? lol
Cheers - David
