Council receives many complaints regarding vehicles parked illegally within residential streets and commercial areas. Illegal parking may create an unsafe environment for other road users by causing an obstruction or impeding vision.
Pedestrians may be forced onto the road or motorists to the wrong side of the road in order to pass illegally parked vehicles. Motor Vehicles in New South Wales (NSW) are regulated by the NSW Road Rules. This provides for the effective movement and free flow of traffic in the State of NSW.
For more information on road rules and regulations visit the Roads and Maritime Services Website
Local businesses are faced with the difficulties of running a business with many challenging factors including increasing customer expectations and convenience. Local business owners have an expectation that Council will assist them by ensuring that their customers can park in a convenient location and close to their business.
In Camden's main shopping district, Argyle Street is designated as a one hour parking limit to provide customers with convenient parking. These positions, as well as others within the Camden Local Government Area (LGA), are patrolled by Council Rangers to ensure these valuable spaces are used in an appropriate manner and to ensure that there is a regular turnover of vehicles therefore allowing more customers the chance to find convenient parking. The disabled spaces throughout Camden are also patrolled to ensure only persons with a valid permit are utilising the spaces.
By their very nature, areas around schools have a lot of interaction between cars and pedestrians. The majority of these pedestrians are children and given that children and pedestrians are vulnerable road users, this can lead to a potentially dangerous environment.
Children are small, harder to see, can behave unpredictably and their lack of road experience means it is difficult for them to judge dangerous situations.
Added to this, areas around schools have a high density of cars parking, driving and manoeuvring. Incorrect driving and parking practices can create a potentially lethal environment and if the traffic facilities provided to road users around schools are not optimum, the problem can be exacerbated.
Additionally, schools are usually in well populated residential areas. Incorrect parking and driving practices can also have an impact on the residents that live near schools and residents that need to drive through school zones and can ultimately affect the local community.
To address safety around school zones, Camden Council has developed the School Safety Program. A fold out flyer has been created to inform road users how to use the facilities around schools.
Download a copy of the School Safety Program foldout.
A number of NSW agencies such as Police, local Council's, government departments and other agencies are authorised to issue Penalty Infringement Notices (PIN). The State Debt Recovery Office (SDRO) issues and processes penalty notices on behalf of those agencies.
The fines system is designed to influence behaviour by imposing a monetary penalty which ensures that individuals take responsibility when they commit an offence.
Local Council's may issue a PIN or chose to prosecute an individual for an offence committed within it's jurisdiction. PIN's may be issued for a wide variety of offences including:
Once a PIN is issued, Council will not cancel the notice and Council Officers cannot discuss the matter with you.
Your options for dealing with a PIN once issued are:
If you choose to have the Penalty Infringement Notice heard by a Magistrate in the Local Court, Section 37 of the Fines Act 1996 may apply. This Act states that the PIN fine be set aside and the maximum penalty may be applied. If found guilty of the offence you may have a criminal conviction recorded against you.
Request for reviews are to be in writing and directed to the State Debt Recovery Office (SDRO). For more information including review guidelines and part payment information: www.sdro.nsw.gov.au or SDRO 1300 138 118

Siskiyou Crest
Document Actions
Siskiyou Crest
The Siskiyou Crest is a scenic ridge system on the Oregon and California border that contains ancient forests, high elevation meadows, spectacular peaks, and outstanding botanical and butterfly diversity. It provides drinking water for many downstream communities, including the city of Ashland. It includes portions of the Rogue River-Siskiyou, and Klamath National Forests and Medford District BLM lands. While the area hosts several roadless lands, botanically rich meadows and unique recreation areas (including the Pacific Crest Trail), very little of the area has been protected outside of the relatively small Red Buttes Wilderness Area.
A Land Bridge
This wildland complex can be referred to as the "Siskiyou Land Bridge" because of its important connectivity functions. It is not only a biological crossroads through space and time, but is a literal crossroads for wide ranging species. It provides the only high quality habitat connections between the Marble Mountains to the south, the Kalmiopsis Wilderness to the north and west, and the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument to the east. With its unique east to west orientation it connects the more coastal Siskiyous with the inland Cascades.
The 100,000-acre Kangaroo Roadless Area is named after Kangaroo Mountain, (note, there are no Kangaroos on the Siskiyou Crest, but many other wildlife species!) pictured here near the Red Buttes. A primary goal for the Siskiyou Crest Campaign is preservation of its wilderness qualities. Unprotected wilderness surround the 20,230-acre Red Buttes Wilderness Area and span east toward the Cascade Mountain Range. This critical core habitat is the heart of the Siskiyou Crest, while adjacent roadless corridors are integral to the many species utilizing the area.
Five sizeable Inventoried Roadless Areas are located in the Siskiyou Land Bridge: the 100,000 acre Kangaroo, the 20,000 acre Condrey Mountain, the 12,000 acre McDonald Peak, the 10,000 acre Kinney, and the 8,000 acre Little Grayback. Broadly defined, these road free lands combine to form a 1-million acre web of high quality habitat in this critical wildlife area.
Forests and Flora
The diverse forests of the Siskiyou Crest include ancient groves of mixed conifer that contrast with rugged pine forests typical of the unique geology of the Siskiyou Mountains. Diverse true fir forests are home to many endemic and relict trees. Over 20 conifer species are found on the mountainous slopes of the Siskiyou Crest. There are occurrences of common species unusual for the Siskiyous, such as Engelmann spruce, Pacific silver fir, Alaska yellow cedar, and quaking aspen. Klamath-Siskiyou endemic, Weeping or Brewer's spruce, reaches its eastern range limit in the Condrey Mountain Roadless Area. The largest grove in Oregon of Baker cypress, a fire dependent species, is found in the Kangaroo Roadless Area.
In addition to the exceptional tree diversity, numerous rare and unique plant species are associated with the Siskiyou Crest. Applegate gooseberry, a narrow endemic that grows only on the slopes of the Applegate Valley, is one example. Forests to meadows to rocky outcrops in over a dozen recognized special botanical areas provide varied habitats for rare and endemic plant species.
The Siskiyou Crest is a travel conduit for wide-ranging mammals. Wolverine, marten, lynx, fisher, mountain lion, bear, and elk currently inhabit or have been recently sighted in the area. The area also provides home range and connectivity habitat for the gray wolf, grizzly bear and pronghorn sheep, mammals that are currently extirpated from the Klamath-Siskiyous. The Siskiyou Mountain Salamander lives only on the slopes of these mountains. The cool, clear waters flowing from the crest into the Rogue, Klamath, Applegate, and Illinois basins are a refuge for endangered wild salmon.
Road building to access timber is a past and continuing threat. Interstate 5 is a known barrier to wildlife migration between the Cascades and the Coastal Mountains.
Private land logging activities, predominately clear-cutting, on in-holdings owned by industrial timber companies is common within and adjacent to the Siskiyou Crest.
Cattle grazing occurs in virtually the entire area and many meadows are severely overgrazed. At the current level, grazing will continue to degrade fish habitat, compact soils, alter plant communities, push rare plants to the brink of extinction, despoil clean water and degrade recreational experiences. Cattle trespass is a chronic problem in several areas.
Off Road Vehicle (ORV) use is heavy and destructive in some areas, particularly high meadow habitats. Many rare and sensitive plant and wildlife species are affected, and ORV enthusiasts are now pressuring the Forest Service to open more trails to motorized use. One of these, the Boundary Trail, is on the Siskiyou Crest on the Illinois Applegate divide.
KS Wild's Strategies
KS Wild monitors all public lands management in the area, and pushes for low-impact forest management that reduces fuels and protects large trees. We work toward reducing the treat of over-grazing, ORV abuse and other threats while expanding low-impact recreation in the area.
Low impact fire hazard reduction and fire reintroduction are some of the restoration activities that need to take place. The Forest Service and BLM should actively decommission many non-essential roads within the Siskiyou Crest. These activities would put many local people to work in the woods.

On the 16th January the Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium (SLRC) brought together academics and practitioners to debate the practical implications of the APPP synthesis report which argues that, 'governance challenges are not fundamentally about one set of people getting another set of people to behave better. They are about both sets of people finding ways of being able to act collectively in their own best interests. They are about collective problem solving in fragmented societies hampered by low levels of trust'.
The Storify link below is a summary of the discussion that took place between Duncan Green (Senior Strategic Adviser, Oxfam) and David Booth (Director of APPP) looking at the implications of the APPP synthesis report, and a breakdown of the key themes that came out from the discussion that followed.

Tuesday Sports Illustrated report states that Lewis sought help from the company Sports With Alternatives To Steroids (SWATS) in October after the star linebacker tore his right triceps. SWATS owner Mitch Ross recorded a call with Lewis hours after the player hurt his arm in an October game against Dallas, the magazine reported. According to the report, Lewis asked Ross to send him deer-antler spray and pills, along with other products made by the company. Several athletes reached by the magazine also said they used the product.

Jake E. Lee Shows How to Really Play 'Bark at the Moon' [Video]
"Bark at the Moon" is one of those classic Ozzy Osbourne songs that pretty much every cover band plays.
And, according to Jake E. Lee, is pretty much played wrong.
It'll sound good the way everyone plays it, but in this video, Jake shows you how he wrote it, and why.
Don't worry if your fingers don't do that. Most people's don't.

The day someone makes a darknet into an easy-to-use tool without dumping 2+ gigs of pure crap on your hard drive just to participate as a leeching user it as a requirement and make it a smooth process to install and use, maybe people will start using it. As it stands, it relies upon people willing to store data much like running Tor services. Being part of a small network is like being a park of a tiny private tracker, it can work and it can be infiltrated if it gets bigger. Bigger trackers and file sharing sites draw attention.Ā

No, I don't really care about line breaks. I don't plan on re-reading this and my hands hurt from arthritis, so... yeah. And though just like with forums, you're not responsible for what's on your hard drive if you don't know what it is, though if they can prove that you're on a private darknet that trades only pirated files and you are hosting that and they decrypt it's up to the judge and legal system, it's just something we haven't seen yet. With money and a good lawyer you could probably get off for that, but who knows. You can also be hassled if it's decrypted enough that while you probably won't do much jail-time, you will end up having legal fees which is a pain by itself and enough of a deterrent to keep many away. I imagine that darknets will be interesting to watch develop in the future and if something like Direct Connect moves toward better model than it exists currently it might work somewhat well and for many people rather than just a few that are technically savvy and know a group of people willing to invite them in. I guesstimate by 2015 we'll have anti-piracy laws in the US that'll be kind of scary like France's "three strikes" law.

The Company expects to begin phasing in select product lines in early calendar 2014, beginning with produce cross-docking and followed by select bakery and commissary products. The new facility will have the capacity to support approximately 30 stores in the NY metropolitan area.Real Estate Pipeline Continues to Develop During the second quarter, the Company announced three new signed leases. The Lake Grove store, expected to open in the spring of 2014, will be Fairway's third on Long Island and is located in a premier retail corridor of Suffolk County. The second store, which is expected to open in the fall 2014, will be the first Fairway in lower Manhattan and will be located in the neighborhood of TriBeCa. The 45,000 square foot store will be located in a heavily populated residential area which will serve customers in TriBeCa as well as Battery Park City. The third store will be located in the new Hudson Yards development in west midtown Manhattan and is expected to open in the spring of 2015. Operating Results for the Second Quarter of Fiscal 2014 For the second quarter of fiscal 2014, net sales increased $22.7 million, or 14.1%, to $183.2 million from $160.5 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. Net sales growth in the quarter was driven primarily by new stores opened subsequent to July 1, 2012 which contributed approximately 94% of the total sales growth, with the balance coming from an increase in same store sales of 1.0%. Management estimates that same store sales were negatively impacted by approximately 100 basis points due to the holiday overlap of Labor Day and Rosh Hashanah as well as a one week delay in school openings this year. Same store sales growth in the quarter was driven by an increase in average transaction size which grew 1.6% partially offset by a decrease in comparable transactions of 0.6%.

DUNEDIN — This time last year Dunedin was on edge and in a state of disbelief after winning the Class 5A, District 12 softball title, the school's first since 1991.
It was a story of a plucky underdog that had its moment.
A year later Dunedin was back, this time as a No. 2 seed hosting No. Bradenton Bayshore in the championship game.
And this time around, the Falcons were not in a trance. Despite falling behind early Friday, Dunedin calmly mounted a comeback and prevailed 7-4 for its second straight district title.
"I knew this was going to be a tough game," Falcons coach Roy Silver said. "Bayshore has a good coaching staff, and their players keep getting better. We lost a couple of players from last year, and we know we can be beaten on any given night. But these girls were able to stay loose and relax and come through with the win."
The Bruins were cast as upstarts after knocking off No. 1 seed Lakewood this week. Bayshore had gotten this far with a potent lineup of players who are adept at hitting the ball far.
The offense delivered early as Bayshore led 3-2 in the top of the second inning. The Falcons (16-8) responded by scoring in the bottom of the second and added two more runs in the third to go up 6-3.
That was all Dunedin starter Aubrey Ehlers needed. She kept the Bruins off balance the rest of the night by throwing her changeup to get ahead in the count.
The Falcons offense, meanwhile, continued to stay hot. Ehlers, Olivia Silver and Abbie Sexton each had two hits.
"Everyone was focused and ready to play," Olivia Sexton said. "We lost a few players from last year, but we still thought we could come back and win another district title."
At the start of the season Dunedin struggled, losing its first three games. But the Falcons found a way to regroup, winning 16 of their past 21 games.
"We had to figure some things out at the beginning of the season," Roy Silver said. "But I told the girls it doesn't matter how you play in March. It matters how you're playing at the end. And right now, we're playing our best ball."

20 Games Like Combat Mission 2()
Ancient Wars: Sparta
Ancient Wars: Sparta is a real-time strategy game in which the player controls the Spartans, the Ancient Egyptians and the Ancient Persians. The game is divided up into three separate campaigns, one for each of the three cultures, with each campaign divided into multiple missions. The campaigns are independent of one another, and can be played in any order. The missions within each campaign, however, are linear, and each mission only becomes available when the previous one has been completed. Although gameplay focuses primarily on combat, the game also features elements of economic micromanagement, as the player must generate enough resources to build up their armies to the point where they can defeat the opposing forces. Within each mission, the player will usually have multiple primary objectives, and will often have one or more secondary objectives. Secondary objectives are not necessary to complete the mission, but often reward the player with troops and/or resources if fulfilled.
East India Company: Pirate Bay
East India Company did not originally have pirates as a playable faction as we wanted to concentrate on the actual companies. However, we received an incredible amount of feedback from people who told us how much they would love to play as pirates.
Expeditions: Viking
Expeditions: Viking is a Historically-themed RPG set in the Viking Age. As the new leader of a humble clan of farmers and fighters players must adventure into the unknown lands to the west to raid and/or trade their way to wealth, fame and glory.

Experience choice and consequence as never before in the much awaited addition to the Expeditions Series, Expeditions: Viking.
No Man's Land

Empire Earth
Epochs are the ages a player passes through in Empire Earth. Each of these epochs represents an age within history. In Empire Earth, the last two ages (Digital and Nano Ages) are set into the moderate future. In the Art of Conquest, a third future age, the Space Age, is available. It deals with space colonization. Each epoch brings new technologies and units. Epoch advancement requires additional buildings to be built and the costs of advancing increases as more epochs are attained, although the ability to gather the required resources greatly increases as well. With new epochs, some new units are available at the cost of having to abandon the ability to produce old units, though any old units still alive are kept. The epochs in Empire Earth are the Prehistoric Age, the Stone Age, the Copper Age, the Bronze age, the Dark Age, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Imperial age, the Industrial age, the Atomic World War I age, the Atomic World War II Age, the Atomic Modern Age, the Digital Age and the Nano Age. An extra epoch, the Space Age, is available in Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest.

2013 Is Shaping Up To Be The Worst Year For Reproductive Freedom In Recent History
2013 Is Shaping Up To Be The Worst Year For Reproductive Freedom In Recent History
According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the 2013 legislative session is on track to be yet another record-breaking year for state-level restrictions on womens reproductive rights. As states current legislative sessions begin to come to a close, lawmakers have so far enacted more than 300 different abortion restrictions this year, as detailed in a map from the ACLU (click through for the interactive version):
-snip- (MAP)
According to the Guttmacher Institute, 2011 saw the highest number of anti-abortion restrictions enacted on the state level since 1985, when the womens health organization first began tracking the data. 2012 was right behind with the second highest number of restrictive abortion laws. And now, even following an presidential election season that heavily emphasized the ongoing War on Women post-election polling suggests that Mitt Romneys right-wing positions on womens health issues may have cost him the White House local lawmakers in red states are continuing to pursue a stringently anti-abortion agenda.
On a call with reporters, representatives from the ACLUs Reproductive Freedom project pointed out that abortion opponents have been more aggressive about their goals in 2013, and predicted this year will go down in record books for advancing some of the most stringent legislation this nation has seen since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion 40 years ago. The ACLU considers the mounting pile of state-level restrictions to be a coordinated campaign to eventually ban abortion in every clinic in every state. The group points out that there are three prongs of attack in this national strategy: making abortion services inaccessible for women, making it impossible for abortion doctors to continue their work, and forcing abortion clinics to close their doors.
Since the first part of that three-tiered strategy often involves outright bans on abortion, like the unprecedented 6-week ban in North Dakota and 12-week ban in Arkansas, it tends to incite the most outrage and receive the most media coverage. But the second and third tactics employed by the right wing are also incredibly successful at limiting womens reproductive options and, since those laws can more easily fly under the radar, they can actually be more dangerous.

1. but but both parties are the same!
Haven't we been told that there is no difference between democratic politicians and republican politicians by members of DU? The same DU members that constantly complain about President Obama. hmmm- kinda makes one wonder about the truthfulness of some DU members...
What are we to make of the veracity and intention of DU members that make this claim? There are no progressives or real democrats involved in the congressional republican war on women. PLENTY of democrats and progressives are willing and wanting to defend women's rights as a force for good.
But DU's resident teabagger sock puppets and Obama Derangement Syndrome sufferers want us to believe that the democratic party is the same as the republican party and we are all watching the end of times because of Woo! and the hero Snowden.
Why do teabaggers and the tin foil hat brigade hate the truth?

3. One wouldn't expect to read that type of garbage on a Democratic website.
But sadly, our side of the spectrum also has its own share of people with tunnel vision. Apparently none of the glaring differences between the two parties matter to this crowd, whether it's Obama doubling up Bush ll in job growth in roughly 4 years, the GOP's money-wasting efforts to repeal health care and outlaw contraceptives, the GOP's unwillingness to embrace marriage equality, or us drawing down wars and being fairly safe from terrorist attacks under Democratic administrations. Yep, forget all of that stuff--the Democratic Party is still GOP-lite. Obama is still this thirdwaycenterrightmoderateRepublican in sheep's clothing, doing Bush's work. Hell, I've even heard people claiming that Obama is to the right of Reagan. Now that is some of the silliest shit I have ever heard. If I remember correctly, Reagan started a war, Obama has not. Reagan lowered top taxes drastically from how they were under Carter. Obama has pushed to raise them. Reagan used the Southern Strategy to stoke resentment of White conservatives towards Blacks, Obama did not. Reagan was anti-gay, while Obama is the 1st sitting president to endorse marriage equality.

When I left high school, I weighed a nice healthy 128 lbs. That was nine years ago. I weighed myself in November and I weighed 158...EEEK! Of course, the big sign I had gained weight is that I no longer wear a size 6 pants. Now on a grand scale, 158 isn't that bad, but I was informed by my doctor it wouldn't hurt to lose a little.
Now, I haven't added any inches to my height...at all. In fact I might have shrunk a quarter of an inch, or the previous doctor rounded up.
Even though I don't really believe in New Year's resolutions, I still decided that I would lose those thirty pounds this year. Well since I last weighed myself, I have already lost ten pounds. Yay!! Twenty pounds to go. Those last ten are going to be a b*tch.
I have started exercising at least 30 minutes a day, doing dancing exercises or pilates via video (that's all I have time for between classes and working two jobs). Still walking the dogs on the weekends up to seven miles - though I hope to increase that when summer comes around.
Anyway, blah blah blah. I mostly posted it publicly to try to have a record to hold myself to this goal. Want to be at my target weight by May!

Sanoma Says European Paper Prices Will Rise Less Than Planned
Sanoma Oyj (SAA1V), the biggest publicly traded Nordic media company, rejected the European paper industry's plans to lift paper prices by as much as 20 percent next year.
``We are a very big purchaser of paper in the Finnish and European marketplace,'' Chief Financial Officer Kim Ignatius said today at a conference organized by Morgan Stanley in Barcelona. ``There isn't one paper price for all the customers. Our estimates are much, much lower than the paper industry's.''
The European paper industry is trying to push through price increases for newsprint and magazine paper after they have fallen as much as 25 percent since 2001, saying capacity reductions outpace the slide in demand. Norske Skogindustrier ASA (NSG), the world's second-biggest newsprint company, said last month it planned to raise newsprint prices about 15 percent to 20 percent in Europe. Stora Enso Oyj (STERV) and UPM-Kymmene Oyj, Europe's two biggest paper makers, have also announced plans to raise prices.
Ignatius said Helsinki-based Sanoma's annual paper bill is about 6 percent to 7 percent of total sales. The company is among the biggest magazine publishers in Europe and its Helsingin Sanomat daily has the highest circulation in the Nordic region. Stora Enso and UPM are also based in the Finnish capital.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel rips into murder-accused Oscar Pistorius
Pretoria: The prosecution accused Oscar Pistorius of feigning emotion to dodge tough questions about the death of his girlfriend, as his second week of testimony in the murder trial began yesterday.

Frustrated with Pistorius' frequent crying in the witness box, prosecutor Gerrie Nel toughened his questioning and accused the Paralympic star of crocodile tears.
"Mr Pistorius, you're not using your emotional state to escape, are you?" he said after the athlete broke down under questioning on one of several occasions Monday.
"You're getting frustrated because your version is improbable and you're getting emotional," he said.
During six days of testimony, Pistorius has often appeared harrowed in the moments before and after he fired the four shots that killed Steenkamp.
Yesterday, he again burst into tears when he re-enacted his high pitched call for supposed intruders to "get the f**k out of my house!"
Nel claimed Pistorius was crying because he knew he was shouting at Steenkamp and not a supposed intruder, putting the state's case that she was preparing to leave after an argument when she was shot.
"You know exactly, you fired at Reeva. These other versions cannot work, you fired at her, you did. Why are you getting emotional now?" Nel argued.

Many Americans don't want their coverage to be upended
By Mimi Hall, USA TODAY
Only two in 10 Americans say their health insurance coverage and the quality of the health care they receive will improve if a bill passes Congress this year, despite President Obama's promises to improve the system for those with and without insurance.
A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken after the president's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 9 found that more than seven in 10 of those polled say their costs and their care will either stay the same or get worse if the legislation Obama and congressional Democrats are pushing becomes law this year.
"It'll definitely get worse because they're going to have to find the money to pay for all this stuff," says Janene Sholes, 48, of Tampa. "And where are they going to get it from? Us."
UP CLOSE: Five faces of the uninsured
AROUND THE GLOBE: Health care country-by-country
TAX FREE: Health expense accounts could face cuts
The findings underscore the challenges facing Obama and Congress as they try to reduce costs in the unwieldy health care system and provide coverage to millions of Americans without insurance.
Although there is widespread agreement that changes must be made in the USA, a strong majority say they are satisfied with what they have and don't want it upended.
• Eight in 10 say they are satisfied or very satisfied with the quality of the medical care available to them and their families.
• Six in 10 say they are satisfied or very satisfied with the cost of the medical care for themselves and their families.
• More than half say rising health care costs such as insurance premiums and out-of-pocket expenses are either no problem or a minor problem for them.
• Nearly two-thirds say reductions in what their insurance plan covers is either no problem or a minor problem.
"All people have heard are negative stories about the health care industry," says Robert Zirkelback of America's Health Insurance Plans. But "the vast majority of Americans are very satisfied with their health care coverage."
Democratic pollster Mark Mellman says he's not surprised the poll picked up some anxiety as well.
"Any time you make significant change, you make people nervous, especially when they're already nervous because of their economic situation," he says. "I think the president did a very good job of selling the program in his speech (to Congress), but I think the White House recognizes, Capitol Hill recognizes, everybody recognizes there's still a lot of selling to be done."
The poll, taken Sept. 11-13, found two-thirds cite high costs, the uninsured and insurance companies' greed as the biggest problems with health care in the United States.
"It is just terrible to see people without insurance," says Dee Gagliari, 55, a homemaker from Kensington, Conn.
Obama wants a government-run program to help provide insurance to those who don't have coverage but says he is open to other methods, such as non-profit health cooperatives.
He promises improvements for those who have insurance.
"What this plan will do is make the insurance plan you have work better for you," he told a boisterous crowd at the University of Maryland last week.
Steve Clements, 32, of Wausau, Wis., a youth pastor with the Evangelical Free Church of America, says he and his family are "overall happy" with the care they've received through the insurance coverage that comes with his job, despite an uptick in his premiums and deductibles.
He says he's wary of a government fix.
"Taking some of the decision-making and consumerism out of the health care equation could be a dangerous thing."
Rick Scott, founder of Conservatives for Patients' Rights, says the poll reflects the flaws in Obama's plan. "When people look at these bills (in Congress), it just doesn't make sense to them that costs are going to go down," he says. "People are pretty logical."
There are some who support Obama's plan — even if it might drive their costs up and limit their coverage.
"It may actually hurt me personally," says Rennie Moore, 43, an electrical contractor from Charleston, S.C., "but as long as it helps people overall, I am for it."
The survey of 1,030 adults has a margin of error of +/-4 percentage points.

Love It Or Leave It: Kimbra's Colorful Look
Kimbra is the female counterpart to Gotye in that "Somebody That I Used To Know" song (apologies, because I'm sure it's now back in your head occupying brain space you could have used for math problems or something). I mean, it's obviously a lot of look, but whatever, she's a pop singer. They're supposed to dress crazy-style.

Music Reviews: Lenny Sendersky & Tony Romano - 'Desert Flower,' The Matthew Finck Jonathan Bell Project - 'It's Not That Far'
Published 10:00 pm, Saturday, January 25, 2014
Lenny Sendersky and Tony Romano - Desert Flower
Russian-born saxophonist Lenny Sendersky and New York-based guitarist Tony Romano met at a jam session in Copenhagen back in 2010 and began playing together, touring and working on their original compositions. Desert Flower, their new album, gives listeners a chance to hear what they've been doing. If you like your jazz smooth and melodic, you'll love it.
Sendersky, whether he is playing alto or soprano, has a sweet tone, but he can growl with the best of them when necessary. Romano is a guitarist with imagination and the chops to go with it. Their basic ensemble includes Steve LaSpina on bass and Matt Kane on drums, but they get some great help on several tracks from trumpeter Randy Brecker and Joe Locke on vibes. There are even a couple of vocals from Cleve Douglass.
Of the 10 tracks, eight are originals, split four each. The other two are covers of Duke Ellington's "My Father's Island" and the classic "Nature Boy." Both feature Douglas' vocals. The original material runs from Latin-flavored tunes like Sendersky's cool "Chet" (which opens the album) and Romano's "Tango" (which closes it). There is also the swinger "Fruit Tea," with Locke working the vibes, and the soulful ballad "Sophie," with Brecker up front.
The album is a musical delight. You can get a taste of the music at Sendersky's website.
The Matthew Finck Jonathan Ball Project - It's Not That Far
It is interesting to compare Desert Flower with the self-produced album of the Finck Ball Project, It's Not That Far, released last October. Like Romano, Finck is a guitarist. Ball, like Sendersky, plays sax (although in this case tenor). They are working for the most part in a quartet with bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Adam Nussbaum, although they are joined by a guest on three tracks-of all people, the seemingly ubiquitous Randy Brecker.
Moreover, almost as if there were a programming formula, the set features eight original compositions, four by each of the front men. In this case there is only one additional standard tune, Jerome Kern's "The Way You Look Tonight." The music itself is fairly traditional bop-flavored jazz, perhaps a bit edgier overall than the mellower vibe of Sendersky and Romano, but it is mostly a question of degree.
Finck and Ball are no slouches when it comes to mellow, as in Finck's "East 86th" and on "Gentle Soul" (with Brecker). While playing with Brecker on Ball's "Conundrum" and "Geppetto," they show their edge.

I picked up a branded dress when I was abroad, yet after I brought it home, I somehow did not like it at all. I felt it looked more like a night dress; and I never wore it. My mom stopped giving me money.
I have a fetish for: Lipsticks. I can die for them. I keep collecting them. I think I have 500 lipsticks with me. I just love them. I dont use them because I feel they will get over.
My favourite accessory: I am a complete girl I love all girlie things like belts, bags, shoes, bindi, jhumka, baali.
My favourite brand in shades: I love Chanel, Dior and Burberry. Roberto Cavalli is very good.
My favourite perfume: Miami Glow, Baby Doll by Yves Saint Laurent. Yellow Gold is also very good.
I love wearing: Watches. My favourite brands are Cartier, Gucci and Bulgari.
My favourite shampoo and conditioner: LOreal.
I admire the hair of: Shilpa Shetty. I like the quality of her hair.
My favourite brands in make-up are: MAC, Chanel and Neutrogena sunblock.
Tip on make-up: Try to keep it natural. Use home remedies and have loads of water.

As a Scot, Lesley McCulloch could hardly let New Year's Eve pass without a party, however her chances of celebrating last night were limited.
McColloch is in a prison cell in Banda Aceh, the capital of the Indonesian province of Aceh, where she will spend the next six weeks for visa violations.
Until Monday, food was brought in by friends. But it is not needed now, as McCulloch says she has gone on a hunger strike in sympathy with her companion, American Joy Lee Sadler, who has not eaten since late November.
On Monday, McCulloch, 40, and Sadler, 57, were sentenced to five months and four months in jail, respectively, after being caught by soldiers leaving a rebel-held area of Aceh, which has been racked by an independence war for almost 20 years.
Taking into account the time they have already served, Sadler, a nurse, will be released in just under two weeks. McCulloch, an Australian-based academic, will be out in six weeks.
"I was hoping they'd convict us and release us immediately," McCulloch said in a message from her prison cell yesterday. "But now that I know I've got only six weeks to go, I can cope."
She was more concerned about Sadler, who is HIV-positive and has been on a hunger strike, taking only vitamins and juice, since November 28 in protest at the slow progress in their trial.
McCulloch said she, too, had stopped eating after she was sentenced on Monday and would refuse to eat until Sadler was released.
The two women have been in detention since September 11. They were accused of contacting independence fighters of the Free Aceh Movement, in violation of their tourist visas.
The sentencing judge imposed a tougher penalty on McCulloch, saying her actions "could have threatened national security and the territorial integrity of the Republic of Indonesia".
In her prison message, McCulloch said the only threat she posed was to the business interests of the army and police in Aceh.
She said she was targeted because of her research on the illegal business activities of the security forces.
"They're [the army and police] involved in illegal logging, drugs, illegal fishing, extorting money from local businesses and local people at every check point in Aceh ...
"They are involved in every area of the local economy, illegally," she said.
For this reason, the military had no interest in the success of a December 9 ceasefire deal between the rebels and the Government, which is seen as the best hope yet of ending the conflict, McCulloch said.
On her release, she will fly first to Scotland to see her family ("My mum is really stressed out about me") and to thank her supporters. Then she will return to Melbourne where she will take up an academic research grant. Her area of study will be the political economy of the Indonesian military.
As for New Year's Eve, she said: "My friends know how important it is to us Scots, so we'll have some sort of little party."

Public urged to stay clear of tree-felling operations
September 13, 2012
As tree-felling operations under the South Shore Fuels Reduction and Healthy Forest Restoration project move to new areas, the U.S. Forest Service has reminded the public to stay clear of active operations.
"Heavy equipment operators can't easily see people walking or biking through their operations, so if you're disregarding posted signs and forest closures, you're putting your safety at risk," said Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit forester Duncan Leao, in a statement. "Respecting closures will help us open recreation areas back up more quickly by minimizing interruptions to tree thinning operations."
Mechanical operations in the Nez Perce Drive area of South Lake Tahoe are nearly complete. The contractor will then move near Fallen Leaf Campground and along Trout Creek, off Pioneer Trail.
Noise from the operations near Fallen Leaf Lake may affect campers, although operations will occur during the daytime only. The work will also limit access to the Moraine Trail and other trails from the campground leading to Fallen Leaf Lake. The Trout Creek work will limit access to the Railroad Grade Trail.
South Shore project activities will continue as conditions allow, including possible over-the-snow operations during the winter.

Firms accused of hiding stress costs
Stress at work is becoming an increasingly common problem
Companies are disguising the cost of stress at work and so preventing questions being raised about the causes, according to a health expert.
Dr Kevin Holland-Elliott, medical director of occupational health at private healthcare organisation Bupa, says many companies which lose court cases over stress at work are not informing their shareholders of the costs.
"As a result, shareholders are presented with a false picture of corporate performance," he told a major conference on depression, co-sponsored by the World Health Organization.
He believes that bad management is the major cause of stress at work and can triple the cases of employee depression.
Some 20% of the workforce is estimated to suffer from depression at any given time and experts say 27% of all days taken off sick are due to the condition.
Dr Holland-Elliott says stress at work, which he estimates affects four million people in the UK, can also lead to greater risk of personal injury and falling productivity rates.
He believes bullying managers and people being put in jobs they are not suited to are key factors in the problem.
"The stress which often leads to serious psychological illness can be caused by a corporate culture which allows and sometimes encourages a bullying management style," he said.
"The solution to these problems are in the hands of management."
He called for simple personality assessments, job rotation and management reviews to tackle the issue.
And he said companies would not be able to avoid the consequences for long since pressure was growing for more protection for employees.
A spokesman for the Trades Union Congress said that, while some companies did report to shareholders on the compensation costs they had to pay out over stress at work, many did not.
The TUC is calling on the government to reform the law so that companies have to inform their shareholders about the cost of all health and safety compensation cases.
Growing problem
The first personal injury court case for stress at work was taken out in 1997 and since then the number has grown rapidly.
Last year, over 450 cases were in progress and figures are expected soon for this year.
But the TUC spokesman said most cases were settled before they get to court.
He hoped the growing number of cases would force an improvement in management strategies and said a small TUC survey last year found 200 health and safety representatives reported that their company already had a stress policy.
The Health and Safety Commission is currently considering whether employers should be prosecuted over stress at work.
It estimates that up to half a million people a year develop stress at work.
One of the problems concerning legislation on the issue is that stress is a difficult condition to diagnose and correct. For example, the commission says some people believe it is difficult to distinguish whether stress is caused by work or events outside the workplace.
But the TUC spokesman said: "That was the initial response with other conditions like back pain and deafness."

|Regulation of Investigatory Powers Bill
Mr. Heald: It would help if the Minister could confirm that the code will deal with what the document looks like for each of the three procedures. Moreover, will there be a verification point that people can contact to confirm the document's authenticity?
Mr. Clarke: I confirm that those issues should be addressed in the code of practice. I shall ensure that those drafting the code are aware of what the hon. Gentleman has just said. Clause 62 is intended to address those points.
I think that it was an amendment tabled by the right hon. Member for Berwick-upon-Tweed and the hon Member for Hallam to clause 4(1) that addressed the hon. Gentleman's second point. I made a commitment then to write to the Committee about the EU convention and clause 4(1). I hope to be able to send that letter today or tomorrow, so that numbers of the Committee have it before we sit next week and can explore the issues in the detail that they deserve.
The principle of the Bill is that all actions should comply with the Human Rights Act 1998. If any EU member state changed its political regime in such a way that that Act was being violated, that would affect not just what we are talking about here but our international contracts and communications in a range of areas, and would, as the hon. Gentleman implies, be an extremely serious matter. That is all that I want to say on the issue now. I should prefer to deal with it fully and comprehensively in my response on the matter that was raised under clause 4(1).
Mr. Heald: I fully accept that, but can the Minister deal with a point that does not relate to whether the ECHR would apply to these agreements generally? If an official were to sign a warrant, or be involved in the process by modification or in some other way, relying on a decision made by somebody in another country-this is the ``automatic'' point that the Minister made-would we be in the clear or could we be in breach of the ECHR because of what a Belgian or French judge had decided?
Mr. Clarke: I shall address that point in detail. First, the absolute obligation of Ministers and officials in this country will be to act within the Human Rights Act 1998. They will not be allowed to act incompatibly with that Act. However, the question of ECHR compatibility will be crucial for the country as a whole, and not simply in the context of the Bill, in deciding what mutual assistance arrangements are entered into. I concede that that is relatively easy to define at the point of entering into a mutual agreement, but the regime of a country with which we had agreement under ECHR-compatible conditions might change. Even in those circumstances, the first obligation of Ministers and officials in this country would be to act within the Human Rights Act 1998 and, therefore, in a way that is compliant with the European convention on human rights.
With the permission of the Committee, I shall deal with those interesting issues more fully in my letter to the Committee later this week.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 7 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

This climb would get more stars if it didn't have the 25 foot unprotected slab start with crumbly rock. I had a foothold crumble under my foot and almost took a nasty tumble down the slab and into the bushes! Although the slab is moderate, a bolt mid-slab would mitigate a fall here.
Once you get to the climb, it's fun, sustained climbing on steep rock.

Car Parking and Roading Review
MEDIA RELEASE Date: 24 January
TO: All Media
From: Dr Nick Chamberlain, Chief Executive
Subject: CAR PARKING AND ROADING REVIEW
The Board has approved, in principle, paid car parking to ensure that we can continue to provide adequate secure parking in a controlled environment. Our decision to introduce paid car parking is in line with DHBs of a similar size to us including Mid Central, Hawkes Bay and Hutt Valley. All large DHBs have charged staff and the public to park for some time. It is envisaged that paid car parking at Whangarei Hospital will commence late in 2013. "As you know we have been struggling to provide enough public car parking on the Whangarei Hospital campus for some years", said Dr Nick Chamberlain, Chief Executive.
"In addition to the current shortfall of car parking for patients and their relatives, there are proposed NZTA changes to Maunu Road's free parking, which is going to impact on staff and further increase the demand for parking". Redevelopment of the Whangarei campus is going to have an impact on the amount of parking that will be available. The new maternity wing, laboratory, cancer centre and staff administration block developments mean that we need to redesign parking facilities and roading.
It is intended that staff will continue to have access to some free car parking, located in a designated area, with appropriate safe walkways to the campus. We will also be exploring alternative modes of transport to reduce the demand for car parking. This may include exemptions and improved facilities for people who cycle or walk to work as well as promoting public transport timetables so that people know what is available. Over the next few months we will be consulting with staff and the general public and researching what parking solutions are available to us. Matters such as the pricing schedule for staff car parking, what exemptions to paid car parking there could be, what payment methods people prefer and how far people are prepared to walk to access free car parking will be ascertained.
A new roading system will be implemented alongside the development of car parks and the implementation of paid car parking. This will reduce traffic congestion across the campus and leading onto main roads.
"While introducing paid parking may not be a popular decision, it is one that needs to be made", Dr Chamberlain offered. "Revenue from paid car parking will help fund the additional car parks and roading changes. It will also allow us to save our very scarce capital funds for improving and renewing our clinical buildings and continue to allow us to grow and develop clinical services in an increasingly tight fiscal environment". Members of the public are welcome to give the DHB feedback regarding the proposed changes to roading and paid car parking on this email address firstname.lastname@example.com

If you've been stumped by the Flash 8 Video Encoder's settings, or wondered why your FLV videos stutter, jump or otherwise choke on a broadband connection, you'll want to read this article I recently co-wrote with Community MX's Tom Green – "FLV Data Rate and Bandwidth… Demystified" – which is now up on both the Adobe Design Center, and Community MX.
Both Tom and I have been speaking on Flash, After Effects and FLV fairly regularly this year, and when comparing notes at TODCon '06 in Orlando earlier this year, were astounded at some of the wild-and-crazy settings people were using to encode their FLVs, and the varying misconceptions as to what the settings actually encompassed. But more concerning was the amount of people who just got frustrated with basic Flash Video because it 'didn't just work' the way they'd expected it to. Well then- this article should answer most of the questions we've heard in our respective travels so far, and we both sincerely hope it helps clear things up and get you posting more video on a regular basis.
And of course, if you happen to catch either Tom or I at conferences/speaking gigs and have more questions, don't be shy- come on up and say hi!

Sounds magnificent in Yiddush. My parents would have understood every word. I wish all Israelis today would appreciate his words. Israel was supposed to be a Jewish state, not a split state.
Chanuka would be very special for me this year as it coincides with my 36 birthday. It truly will be a completion of a miracle heralded by Rosh Hashana.
To Ofer No, it happens every few years.
is this the first time chanuka falls on two different years??
Hanukkah Happy Hanukkah to all. Comment what present do you want. Also what food do you like better lakes or sufganiot?
Woah learned something new I did not know Hanukkah takes place different times each year. At least according to the modern Calendar. I did read this "Hebrew calendar date of 25 Kislev," so it starts the same day every year, but in the Hebrew Calendar. So interesting to know and acknowledge.
Thank you for being you - the Chosen people of Israel. I believe the soon coming Messiah is prophesied in all of the holy feasts of the Lord in the Torah and Tanach. Get ready get ready for your Redemption is nearer than before. Shalom forever and sha a lu shalom Yerushalayim!(forgive my transliteration?)
Off the wall question from a curious goy.
If someone starts Hannukah on the wrong day, whose fault is it really?
I've heard various opinions:
That person's fault. He's a schlemiel.
The temple congregation for insufficient reminders/ advance notice.
The rabbi for not leading clearly enough, the congregation.
Happy Hannaukah to all and to alla good night. peace on earth
Wish I love the Jewish people I wish I was born into them.
Happy Hannukah! Happy Hannukah from a muslim guy living in Canada! I love you all!
Happy Chanukah:)
Happy Chanukah 2015 Happy Chanukah from a Christian brother in God. We pray protection and peace for Israel and all the Jewish people around the world. Please know that many Christians stand with you.
What does Hanukkah mean or what is the purpose
Elo Happy Hanukkha to all :))
To Anonymous We pronounce it with the 'ch' as in Johannes Bach, nothing wrong with that.
Hanukkah or Chanukah The correct English transliteration is Hanukkah with a guttural H pronunciation. Ch is absolutely wrong, being shown only to elicit an enunciation.
Happy Channukah to you all<3

If I decide to play my music of SD cards rather than my iPod am I able to display album artwork?
Yes check out the other threads on how to do it if unsure.....
I've got artwork for almost every album on my SD card...there are over 300 albums! My artwork is all embedded.
How do you embed the artwork?
You can embed artwork with a program like Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...). I'm not sure if itunes does it for you though.
One thing I did discover with the Audi A1 MMI is that it didn't like artwork being too big. Not sure if it was file size or dimensions, but I resized everything to 250x250 and that worked.
Someone else should know more about the A3 system.
Hi Neil,
As mentioned above, there are loads of posts detailing album artwork. A quick forum search from the top of the page will bring them all up.

text: ISLAMABAD - The PEMRA has not yet taken any decision over the Defence Ministry's complaint against Geo TV for maligning Inter-Services Intelligence and on Thursday the authority issued yet a fresh show cause notice. The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) issued show cause notice to Geo TV after receiving thousands of complaints against the channel for airing, what they called, blasphemous programme in a morning show. "The authority had received thousands of complaints from the people and had issued the notice," said an official. He said that people had submitted complaints against Geo Tv morning show in all four provincial headquarters and took the stance in their complaints that Geo had committed blasphemy in its morning show hosted by Dr. Shaista Wahidi.Pemra moved the complaints to the council of complaints and instructed it to preview the complaints and submit its report to Pemra within a week. Earlier in the day, the authority postponed a meeting scheduled for hearing of Defence Ministry's complaint against the Geo TV for maligning ISI for an indefinite period. On last haring of the case, the Pemra had referred the complaint against Geo to the Ministry of Law for legal opinion after the majority of members said the issue could not be handled by the authority directly. The matter was still under consideration in the Ministry of Law and it had not responded to the authority yet.This news was published in The Nation newspaper.
