con:cern is a workflow engine based on an extended case handling approach. A process is described as a set of activities with pre- and postconditions. An activity is executed when its preconditions are met. It manipulates the process item, thereby creating postconditions. The process flow is determined at runtime. This approach is superior to the conventional process flow approach, especially if high flexibility and modularity are required.
Flume is a component pipeline engine. It allows you to chain multiple workers into a pipeline mechanism. The intention of Flume is that each of the workers should provide access to a different type of technology. For example, a pipeline could consist of a Jython script worker followed by a BeanShell script worker followed by an XSLT worker.

The New York Giants have seen a lot of improvement in their team the past six games. During this six game stretch, the Giants are 5-1 and have seen great play from their offensive and defensive units respectively. Besides playing well on offense and defense, the Giants have played well on special teams as well. New York's special teams unit has been solid as of late and has shown much improvement from early on in the season.
Punter Steve Weatherford has back to his pro bowl form in the punting game, and the Giants special teams unit has not allowed big returns or returns for touchdowns in the kicking game. Now with a sense of confidence in their play, the Giants are ready to take on the task of defending the high powered special teams unit of the San Diego Chargers.
Giants' special teams coordinator Tom Quinn spoke about how talented the personnel on the Chargers special teams units are.
"They're very solid all the way across the board," noted Quinn. "I think Kevin Spencer does an outstanding job. They had a bunch of different returners due to some injuries, but whoever they put in has done well. I like Danny Woodhead, how he's just vertical and tough to get a bead on because he's in and out of his cuts.
"They're well coached and they're outstanding specialists with Novak and Scifres. I've never done a hit chart like their punter's. Eight years… The hang time is tremendous, so he's really done a nice job and that aides their coverage."
The Giants who last year did a great job in the return game, so far this season have not had much success on getting great returns. Quinn on the troubles the Giants are having getting big returns on kickoff return.
"We just haven't got into a groove with it," noted Quinn. "It's been frustrating. We felt the last two to three weeks there's been some opportunities here and there to get something started and you're one block away. So we're focusing on just finishing our blocks and doing our job to hopefully get some field position for the offense."
One reason that has added to the Giants being unsuccessful in getting big returns is the injury to running back David Wilson. Wilson, who was the Giants kickoff returner last year, was a stud averaging close to 27 yards a return with one return for a touchdown.
With the injury to Wilson, the Giants have replaced him with rookie Michael Cox as their kickoff returner. So far Quinn has liked the decision Cox has made on taking the right kickoffs to return.
"He did a good job of getting over to the one closest to the sideline, but he's aggressive to get it and he hasn't really had to face that because of the weather change as far as, 'Am I going to take it out or am I going to keep it in?'," noted Quinn.
The Giants will need their special teams units to play well this Sunday against the Chargers, in order to get the win and keep themselves live in the NFC Playoff hunt.

Kristin Cavallari Spills On Her Post-Baby Workout Plan: 'I'm Taking It Slow' (EXCLUSIVE)
The reality star just had a baby a few weeks ago and she's already getting ready for her close-up.
With a photo shoot already scheduled at end of September for her shoe line with Chinese Laundry, The Hills beauty has her sight set on the getting back into shape.
"It's great motivation to get back in the gym," Cavallari told Celebuzz exclusively.
How is she shedding the baby weight?
"I'm taking it slow, but it feels good to get moving," she said of her post-baby exercise routine.
Cavallari, 25, and her fiancé, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, 29, started dating in the fall of 2010 and got engaged in April 2011, only to break it off a few months later. But the on-again, off-again pair reconciled and announced in November they were engaged once again and two months later the happy couple told the world they were expecting their first child.
The new mom gave birth to a bouncing baby boy named Camden Jack Cutler on August 8, and even took to Twitter recently to gush about the new little man in her life.
"Being a mom is the most incredible feeling," Cavallari wrote. "I am so in love with this little boy!"

Hi Everyone (in particular moderators)
I am interested in finding out more about what types of photography you are looking for on photodune. My partner and I recently released a stock image site that specialises in film, lo-fi and analogue photos. The results are not traditional "stock" but they do have a unique feel and style. Some good examples:
- http://lo-stock.com/spain/beetroot/
- http://lo-stock.com/abstract/paper-stack/
- http://lo-stock.com/transport/bike-in-copenhagen/
We have hundreds of photos in a library that we are slowing uploading to our new site. We would consider a change of route and sell exclusively here if this style of photo is what your looking for.
I look forward to your thoughts/feedback.
You can always try to upload and see what feedback you received. The ones you have linked to look good. However, they may be too out of focus and not have a clear subject/composition. They should be sharp and in focus when viewing at 100% and be 2000px x 2000px
Hi Scottsweb,
I think your photos look really good. I personally think it's a style that would do really well here on PD. I'll shoot you a follow up email.
@stemlund many thanks for your reply.
@LanceSnider – email has been received, I will be in touch soon.
Thanks for taking the time to look at our pics.

I have a business for sale, what's the best way to advertise it?
"Listing your business for sale online should be a key part of your exit strategy," says Richard O'Brien director of Business for Sale website nzbizbuysell.co.nz
"It's not always possible, but it's a good idea to start thinking about the sale of your business long before the day arrives. Poorly prepared and priced businesses are harder to sell and in some cases won't sell at all. It also pays to make sure you are ready to sell and for the transition. We've had businesses listed that are subsequently withdrawn due to the vendor having a change of heart; concerned they won't be mixing with their peers, won't have anything to do, or cannot afford their lifestyle once they have sold".
Being Business-Sale-Ready well before you go to market will ensure you are in your best position to sell and maximize the value of your business.
The more you prepared you are, the more successful the outcome is likely to be:
Ensure your business is attractive to buyers. Does it have a good history of profitability, a large and loyal customer base, a competitive advantage (long-term contracts, intellectual property rights, exclusive distributorships)? Does it have a skilled work force, a desirable location and opportunities for future growth?
Are You Ready to Sell? Are you are ready to part with your business, both financially and emotionally? Consider what will you do with your time, for income and for personal contacts once you have sold and moved on. Many business owners suffer a loss of purpose after handing over their business to the new owner.
Decide if you will use a Business Broker. It's a good idea to visit several reputable Business Brokers to find your best match. Select a broker who understands the market and your industry, and knows how to reach the potential buyers of your business. Ask about their database, how much and where will they allocate their marketing budget for your business, and which internet sites they will use. As with any professional, check out their history and reputation. It is also good idea to ask the broker about recent sales and for the names of some clients you can contact.
Target your Advertising. Two or three misplaced ads in poorly targeted or low traffic mediums won't cut it. Invest well, as you want to attract genuine quality buyers. Businesses can take time to sell - influencing factors include price, type, ease of finance, market conditions and your marketing efforts. It pays to promote your opportunity wisely and widely.
Listing on websites; whether you sell privately or use a Business Broker, there are a number of websites that list businesses for sale; this is the new form of classifieds that connects business buyers with sellers. These websites act as a marketplace where potential buyers can search, review, watch and contact sellers or Brokers if they are interested in buying a business. Some offer just a few listings, others a huge range of opportunities, along with directories and resources to assist and educate business buyers and sellers with the process.
As a Seller it pays to list with a website that:
* Attracts genuine Buyers not just Browsers.
* Is well established and well recognized.
* Offers value and exposure to a wide and interested audience.
* Specialises in just business listings and attracts quality traffic.
* Is easy to use and has comprehensive tools and information to help.
Selling your business is one of the most important things you'll do – this is your chance to capitalize on possibly years of effort. With some careful planning and a little help from professionals, you will be well on the way towards striking a deal that's right for you.

I brought this little nail art kit last month along with the 'Best of British' version and have to say I'm very impressed. The beautiful box houses three polishes perfect for getting into the Olympic spirit; Gilt, Silva and Bronzy all in a full sized 17 bottle of 8ml.
Like the 'Best of British' kit, this comes complete with some handy 'Get the look' ideas on the back of the box which is a lovely little extra. I can see myself using both of the wearable designs!
This kit is a total bargain at £5 especially if you consider individually these polishes should cost £2.99 each, so you're getting three for less than the price of two of them.
Again one of the things I love most about this kit is the thin nail art style brush, at first I thought the brush would annoy the hell out of me when trying to paint the whole nail however I found it gave me greater control.
I love all of the colours, especially the 'Bronzy' one! You can pick this up for £5 at boots.

Obama and the Progressive Paradox
Posted on Sep 29, 2010
A couple of hours before President Barack Obama offered a boffo revival of his 2008 campaign persona during a boisterous rally at the University of Wisconsin, Sen. Bernie Sanders was analyzing why the president was in a political pickle in the first place.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
And it is his faith in the power of a progressive movement organized around a clear set of commitments that lies at the heart of Sanders' critique of where the president went wrong.
"Think back to two years ago," Sanders said during an interview in the only Senate office decorated with a medallion of Eugene V. Debs, the legendary American Socialist leader. "There were rallies involving 80,000 to 100,000. Obama was running the best campaign I've seen in my lifetime—and I'm pretty critical."
"Why are we where we are today?" he continues. "The most serious mistake the president made was not, in a sense, continuing the thrust of his campaign, and forgetting all he accomplished."
Square, Site wide, Desktop
Square, Site wide, Mobile
"While Obama and the Democrats have a large number of achievements, it was not enough," said Sanders. "We needed to be bolder."
Yet Sanders will do all he can to help Democrats win this fall, and therein lies the paradox for progressives. It's true that many on the left are frustrated with White House calls for them to buck up and grow up. Jane Hamsher, who blogs at Firedoglake, sees the administration's taunts as setting up the left as a "fall guy" if Democrats lose.
But progressives keenly understand how much their aspirations would be set back if an increasingly right-wing Republican Party wins one or both houses this fall.
That's why liberal blogs are already rallying behind scores of Democratic candidates. It's why "the enthusiasm gap" about this year's election is slowly closing. It's why labor and civil rights groups have organized their One Nation Working Together march this Saturday. (And, yes, it's another sign of Fox News' continuing ability to set the mainstream media agenda that you have heard far less about this rally than you did about Glenn Beck's.)
And it's why the polls have begun to show signs of a modest Democratic revival. Buried in the eighth paragraph of a Wednesday Wall Street Journal story on its survey with NBC News was this fact: When likely voters were asked which party they wanted to control Congress, Republicans led Democrats by three points, but that was down from a nine-point GOP lead just a month ago. Could the plates beneath this election be shifting?
Obama's trip to Madison was therefore more than a journey down memory lane. It reflected the White House's realization that Sanders is right that there is no substitute for a president making a coherent argument, taking on opponents who are eviscerating him daily, and acknowledging his dependence on those who brought him to office. "I need you fired up!" he declared in a stump line that could not have been more accurate. "You can't lose heart!"
The president was not reluctant to draw class lines or ideological distinctions. He cast Republican support for a $700 billion tax reduction for the wealthy against the cuts it could force in Head Start and student loans. He criticized his opponents' "blind faith in the market" and the idea of letting "corporations play by their own rules."
Thus the irony: A president who largely disdained a mobilizing strategy for his first year and a half in office has returned to his community-organizer roots to try to salvage an election. Here's the further irony: He has a real chance of pulling it off, which leads to a question. If Obama succeeds, will he continue to keep his supporters engaged and "fired up," as Sanders suggests he should? Or will he go back to an insider strategy that helped bring him to the brink of this precipice?

This isn't about firing up the democratic base. This is about firing up the American people. Our government has been taken over by international corporations and corrupted by politicans and lobbyist willing to prostitute themselves for the almighty dollar. These liars and cheats are motivated by profit and greed and they have been using are hard earned tax dollars to enrich themselves. All resistant groups, including the tea party, will organize and come together when Barack Obama tells them the truth. Truth has power of its own.
By Salome, October 2, 2010 at 7:31 pm Link to this comment
The mistake Obama made was squandering the momentum of his first year when more than half the country would have followed him over a cliff if he had suggested it. Instead, he used that precious time to run after Republican butts ( a senseless exercise as any drunk on the corner could have told him, see results).
By ProgressiveChange, October 1, 2010 at 7:21 am Link to this comment
Voters haven't been reminded of the GOP Congressional Penitentiary Fraternity, which added so many members in the Bush Era. There was so much criminal and conflict-of-interest activity that the DNC et. al. Democratic organizations fail to remind voters of ... one wonders what the hell their strategy might be.
On the other hand, some of us are tired of voting for the lesser of two frauds ... and would actually like a change of pace—- the oppportunity to vote for Character peppered with Integrity and blessed with Backbone. Unfortunately, relatviely few Democrats manifest these virtues. Rhetoric cannot completely obliterate memories of the cowardice Dems manifested in so-called 'healthcare reform' and the anemic regulation of those responsible for sending America's middle-class to hell or impoverishment.
President Obama appears to be clueless of the chilling impact centrist and spineless policy compromises had on Progressives' support. If he did, Rahm would have been a goner long before Mayor Daley decided to retire ... and God-willing, Rahm's poliical life will end with a loss in Chicago. Chicago needs another deal-maker in City Hall like it needs another Deep Dish Pizza.

All this stuff coming out of the White House is more jive turkey crap. Does anyone else feel like a ho being bitch-slapped by her pimp? I say let 'em fail and watch Republicans try to do anything. It will be a tragi-comedy of the first order, and then perhaps people will get fired up for third party candidates. This has to get worse before it gets better, as painful as that is to contemplate. Dems will do exactly what they are now if they retain Congress, that much should be clear. There's no light at the end of this tunnel.

Oscar Castillo – Artist Narrative: As a youth my parents influenced me in that my mother kept a family photo album, which I keep now, in which our family photos and memories were kept. These were not just snapshots, but now I can see that they are well composed as well as tell a story by the choice of locations as well as depicting different people. My photography carries on my early memories of community, family and a sense of place, although I have chosen to look at a much larger extended family and community. Since I'm of Hispanic and Native American heritage, my work is very influenced and reflects these backgrounds while at the same time make a universal statement. As a multi discipline artist I work in different media such as drawing, painting, stained glass, ceramics, and mixed media, but with a main emphasis on photography as art. While in Japan, during the mid 1960's, I was very influenced by the cultural and environmental beauty of that country and I began a serious study of photography to document my experiences while there. This fascination with cultural, social and political documentation has continued to this day with my personal and artist photography reflecting my sense of community. In the late 1960's I enrolled in college with a dual major of Sociology and Fine Art. In the more than 30 years that I have been producing art images, there are cycles of recurring themes and a metamorphism of images and ideas. Some pieces are stand-alone images, while in others I combined photos into juxtaposed or organically combined collages. While some of my photos are also photo journalistic others are painterly. I work in traditional dark room printing as well as digitally created and manipulated and printed photography. Artist statement courtesy of Oscar Castillo

A 21-year-old man died after a Fort Myers police officer shot him in the back at point-blank range while he lay on the ground, a witness said she told investigators Friday.
Sherita Jackson, who lives at the apartment complex where Starling Javier died, said she told Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigators she watched Javier fall to the ground in her parking lot, his gun a few feet away. Then an officer approached Javier and shot him in the right side of his back, she said.
Police said Thursday they were chasing Javier following a call about shots fired at a Metro Parkway apartment complex. They chased Javier to Central Avenue and Canal Street, where they said he fired at them as they ran after him near the Sunrise Towers apartments. Read more;

Staff at St Andrew's Major Church-In-Wales in the Vale Of Glamorgan are kitted out in school polo shirts teamed with smart skirts and trousers.
Everything they wear is in the school colours of red, white or black.
"It's been a huge success," headteacher Chris Webb told The Western Mail. "The staff love it because they don't have to decide what to wear in the morning."
Mrs Webb said the dress code has helped to build on the school's team spirit.
But she joked that it can get a bit hectic at times, saying: "If I'm wearing red when eating lunch in the hall with the children, I feel a bit lost!"

IAAAC: Code of Practice & Ethics
- The purpose of this code is to establish and maintain standards for addiction counsellors who are members of the IAAAC, and to inform and protect members of the public seeking and using their services.
- All members of this Association must abide by existing codes appropriate to their membership grade. Whilst this code cannot resolve all ethical and practice related issues, it aims to provide a framework for addressing ethical issues.
- This Association has a Complaints Procedure.
Definition of Counselling
- Addiction Counselling seeks to provide the client with opportunities to explore, discover and clarify ways of recovery from addictive behaviours/substance abuse.
- Addiction Counselling includes the giving of time, attention and respect in a confidential, therapeutic relationship. This includes work with individuals, couples or groups of people referred to as "clients.
- The counsellor role is to facilitate the client's growth in ways which respect the person's values, personal resources and capacity for self determination, leading to lifelong recovery.
- Only when both parties explicitly agree to enter into a counselling relationship and a contract is agreed between the counsellor and client does it become counselling.
- Regardless of the theoretical approaches used by individual counsellors, there are ethical issues which are common to all counselling situations.
Code of Ethics
Issues of Responsibility
The counsellor-client relationship is the foremost ethical concern. This relationship also reflects upon colleagues, other associations and members of the wider community. These are addressed under separate headings.
To the Client

Sandra Bullock is Lucy, a lonely ticket booth worker for the Chicago Transit Authority, whose day revolves around the morning arrival of a gorgeous yuppie commuter (Gallagher). Every night she goes home, unwraps a TV dinner, bonds with her cat, and fights off the unwanted advances of her landlord's son. Coerced into working over Christmas, Lucy's dream man - she later learns his name is Peter - finally becomes more reality than she can cope with, when he's mugged on her platform and ends up on the tracks, leaving Lucy to step in and save him from the wheels of an oncoming train.
Later, at the hospital, Lucy is overheard by a nurse muttering to herself, "I was going to marry him..." and before you can say "engagement party", Peter's eccentric family troop in and mistake her as his fiancee. It's a wonderful scene - fast, funny, totally implausible. Since Lucy is alone, weak-willed, and, more to the point, Peter is now in a coma, she plays along with the deception, warming to her surrogate family and they to her. All the while aware that one day she will be forced to come clean.
Then the arrival of Peter's less loaded, but far nicer brother, Jack (Pullman), throws up another dilemma. Peter is not, she swiftly discovers, the Mr. Perfect she fantasised about, but a self-centred, conceited scumbag, who keeps pictures of himself in his wallet and only has one testicle. No, it's Jack who she really loves. What comes next is obvious, but the film is no less enchanting for it. Bullock is a delight, disarmingly kooky, pleasing to look at, and - as she has previously proved - a gifted comedic actress. Together with Pullman, she keeps the predictable plot chugging along nicely, and the corn pretty much on the cob. Pullman, so long the loser in celluloid love (think Sleepless, Malice, Last Seduction), finally - and it won't spoil your enjoyment to know - gets the girl. It's a mite pat and sentimental in parts, but this is romantic comedy, what do you expect? This year's Sleepless In Seattle. Only better.

Russian River resort fire injures 6
Updated 9:46 pm, Monday, November 19, 2012
Six people were taken to a hospital Monday morning after a fire broke out in a Sonoma County resort in Guerneville, authorities said.
Five were treated for smoke inhalation, and one man was admitted for burns on his shoulders, fire officials said.
Fire crews responded to the Guerneville Lodge, formerly known as the Inn at the Willows, on River Road in Guerneville about 3:45 a.m., said Fire Chief Max Ming.
The single-alarm blaze started in one room and spread to others, forcing 10 guests and two managers to flee, Ming said.
When firefighters arrived, they found one guest hanging off the second-story back porch, Ming said. He was helped down, as were several other stranded guests.
Latest news videos
The fire caused serious damage to one side of the building and was put out in 45 minutes. The cause remains under investigation.

In 1992, a group of students at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland carried out an assignment to rig a gun to fire only when held by its rightful owner. It cost them little more than $2,000.
In the two decades since, the U.S. government has spent millions of dollars on grants for research institutions and gun makers to perfect a personalized gun ― mostly on biometric methods such as fingerprint and grip recognition.
New Jersey passed a law in 2002 mandating that once such a gun becomes commercially available, all guns sold in the state must incorporate the technology within three years.
While champions of personalized guns have long insisted that the technology is within reach, no such gun has made it to the mainstream U.S. market.
"Smart guns" show promise, but not readily available on U.S. market

Gurchiek injured in CU's 38-6 loss at APSU
By TOMMY BRYAN
The former all-stater from Mt. Juliet High went down after running a quarterback counter on a second and goal at the North end zone of Governor's Stadium.
Prior to the injury, Gurchiek ran 14 times for 33 yards and completed 6-of-22 passes for 43 yards and was sacked once.
"There were a lot of late whistles out there, a lot of things going on and I think that's what happened. He kind of got twisted in a pile around the five yard line," said CU head coach Dewayne Alexander.
"Reed had a couple of close plays right there at the start of the game -- passes that went off the fingertips of his receivers. He had put together a good drive, settled down a little there after halftime."
Alexander said Gurchiek was released from the hospital Friday morning and would be undergoing further tests in Lebanon today and over the weekend.
"I talked to Reed and to his dad," Alexander said, "they were told it was a clean dislocation. The hip went right back in. Now the concern in the tissue around the joint.>
Cumberland struggled against the big and speedy APSU defensive front, averaging just 2.8 yards per rushing attempt.
"This is the third time we've played a 1-AA team since I've been here and the biggest difference has been the size and speed of the fronts on both sides of the ball. Our guys put up a very good fight, but there comes a point where they just wear on you."
Austin Peay had two backs, Terrence Hold and Wesley Kitts, break the 100-yard rushing barrier. Holt ran 14 times for 127 yards and scored once while Kitts came off the bench in the second half, running 11 times for 109 yards -- including a 68 yard TD burst up the gut in the late stages of the fourth quarter.
All told, APSU run for 306 yards, averaging 7.3 per rush.
Lemeco Miller led Cumberland with 56 yards on 12 carries.
Redshirt freshman Jared White was 2-for-3 on field goal attempts, connecting from 29 and 24 yards.
Chris Simpson interecepted an AP pass and returned it 30 yards. Cody McCallister also had a pick for CU. Ben Miller led the CU defense with eight tackles. Melvin Armstrong and Stephon Ransom were in on six stops each.
BULLDOG BITES -- Senior outside LB Todd Holman went out of the game later in the third period with an apparent dislocation of his left shoulder.
Nearly 100 CU fans gathered for a catered pregame tailgate party in the Governor's Stadium parking lot.
FREE ADMISSION -- Everyone will be admitted FREE to CU's Sept. 11 home-opener vs. Campbellsville. Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. at Lindsey Donnell Stadium. Local restaurants will be setting up tents on the practice field with free food. Also, volunteers and participants from Sherry's Run will be recognized.

Successful backburning operations and a forecast for cooler conditions on Tuesday have reduced the chance of a "mega fire" in the Blue Mountains.
Residents along the Bells Line of Road remained under threat from the massive State Mine Fire burning near Lithgow, which authorities had earlier feared could join with others in the area to become one huge fire stretching over 300 kilometres.
"We can't rule it out but hopefully at this stage, with everything that's been going on in the last 24 hours or so, we've lessened the likelihood of that occurring," Rural Fire Services commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons said. More than 200 homes have been lost in the fires that have raged west of Sydney since Thursday, and 56 fires were still burning on Monday.
The Insurance Council of Australia said 855 claims worth $93 million have been lodged.
Two teenage boys were arrested Monday for starting fires in the last week, and police warned looters after a handful of reported incidents.
The Bureau of Meteorology updated forecasts include possible storms for Tuesday and showers on Wednesday although temperatures of up to 35 degrees are still forecast in fire areas.
And the fire danger was expected to pick up again on Wednesday when gusty winds up to 90km/h are predicted.
Julie Evans, a duty forecaster at the Bureau of Meteorology, said the thunderstorms are unlikely to be widespread.
"We're not expecting significant enough falls to have an effect on the fires," she said.
Commissioner Fitzsimmons moved to allay fears of mass evacuations across the mountains after warning on Sunday that populated areas such as Katoomba and Leura could be affected.
"We are not planning an exodus of the Blue Mountains but what I would say is, if you don't need to be in the Blue Mountains, don't go there," Commissioner Fitzsimmons said.The insurance bill from the NSW fires is estimated at $94 million with 855 claims made, the Insurance Council of Australia says.
Worsening conditions
Earlier, firefighters across NSW were again preparing for worsening conditions with high temperatures and hot, dry winds forecast to sweep the state.
A state of emergency was declared in NSW on Sunday, as more than 50 fires burnt across NSW, 15 of them uncontained, and fears are rising that fires in the Blue Mountains could merge to form one huge blaze that could force the evacuation of large towns.
"The worst case scenario is that the these fires merge, we are planning for the worst," NSW premier Barry O'Farrell said Monday, on his way to a briefing at Rural Fire Services headquarters.
Conditions are predicted to worsen on Monday with tops of 36 degrees forecast for Springwood in the Blue Mountains where an out-of-control bushfire has burnt through almost 2500 hectares.
Rural Fire Service commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons says an updated weather forecast shows strengthening winds will make the situation more challenging.
"There is every likelihood, subject to how the fire behaves, that these two fires could start coming together in the next 24 to 48 hours," he said.

56 fires still burning, 12 uncontained. Fire around Lithgow and Bilpin at Emergency Warning. #NSWRFS #nswfires— NSW RFS (@NSWRFS) October 20, 2013
Monday is expected to be fairly hot across Sydney and the fire ground areas with temperatures in the mid-30s, low humidity and winds around 25km/h - "nothing extraordinary but still problematic", the commissioner said.
An emergency alert telephone warning message was sent to the community of Bell on Sunday, and the Rural Fire Service reissued the advice on Monday morning.
"The community of Bell are advised to leave now if not prepared and travel west along the Bells Line of Road towards Lithgow."
Reports of looting
NSW police commissioner Andrew Scipione said police were taking a "zero tolerance policy" to looting after a handful of reports in the Blue Mountains area.
"We will be doing all we can do stop this behaviour, it's probably the lowest thing you could do. You could count on your left hand the number of reports we have on looting so far," the police commissioner said.
Earlier, Environment Minister Greg Hunt said Prime Minister Tony Abbott would feel he was shirking his duty if he didn't help his mates in the NSW firefighting effort.
The Prime Minister joined his Davidson RFS brigade in a backburning operation near Bilpin in the Blue Mountains on Saturday night.
His involvement only became public when photographs began circulating on Twitter. Mr Abbott has been a member of the RFS since 2001 and has vowed to remain a volunteer despite taking the nation's top job.
When he was asked if the Prime Minister should be putting himself in harm's way, Mr Hunt said "that's just who Tony Abbott is".
"He goes off and does these things . . . and he's gone off and done them quietly, by himself, without media," Mr Hunt told ABC radio on Monday.
"This is the very essence of who and what he is."
"We are planning for the worst, but hoping for the best," Mr O'Farrell said on Sunday.
A 63-year-old man has died fighting the fires, 208 homes have been destroyed and 122 damaged in blazes that have raged across the Blue Mountains, the Southern Highlands and the Central Coast since Thursday.
Among the damage near Lithgow, fire burnt historic tourist attraction the Zig Zag Railway, which was on the cusp of re-opening following recent safety concerns. Zig Zag Railway chief executive Michael Forbes said he was "bloody gobsmacked".
"Everyone's sort of in shock," Forbes said.
Elsewhere in the Blue Mountains, a hospital at Springwood was also evacuated on Saturday ahead of expected worsening in conditions.
Temperatures are expected to remain in the 30s in Sydney's west, with predictions of 35 degrees at Penrith on Sunday, 38 degrees on Monday and 36 degrees on Tuesday.
Interstate fire crews, including eight teams from Queensland and two from the ACT, have been deployed to NSW to help with the effort. Forces in New Zealand are also on stand-by.
Sydney girls arrested
Mr O'Farrell has described the actions of two girls who allegedly lit a grass fire on a day of extreme bushfire risk as "sheer stupidity".
"It is absolutely disappointing that we have a report of two people allegedly seeking to light fires," Mr O'Farrell told reporters at Wyong RFS headquarters.
"But what's great about this incident is that the public has done exactly what the authorities want them to do, they've seen suspicious activity and rung police or RFS.
"It's just sheer stupidity, sheer recklessness, but out of it a great example of the community being alert."

Every Monday in Citizenship Confusion, Alan Noble discusses how we confuse our heavenly citizenship with citizenship to the state, culture, and the world.
Gail Rice, a adult literacy specialist and Christian who has worked in the prison system for 30 years, wrote an article for Think Christian entitled How God's justice prevailed in Illinois in which she reports on the recent repeal of the death penalty in Illinois. What I found to be interesting about this recent bill was that Rice makes it seem like the governor of Illinois sought to keep the death penalty if he could do so justly, but when he realized that he couldn't fix the system, that innocent people could still be executed, he decided that he had to repeal capital punishment.
I have most often heard the argument that Christians should support the death penalty because Paul spoke of the government bearing the sword. Or I have heard the argument that Christians, in order to be consistent, must oppose the death penalty since they oppose abortion. I have always felt that both of these positions were inadequate, gross simplifications of complex ethical and social issues. Moreover, both of these arguments tend to be addressed in the abstract rather than the particular and personal: "the Bible provides us justification for the death penalty," or "Christians can never support the taking of any human life."
The ugly details of personal loss, grisly murders, insanity, rape, and brutality are much harder to deal with, but if we are to love our neighbor, then we must love the neighbor who is a serial killer and who has suffered loss at the hands of a serial killer, and the neighbor who has been falsely convicted of being a serial killer. I am not at all claiming that this task is easy, but it is necessary.
We might desire as American citizens to think of those who have committed crimes merely as criminals, threats to our communities which must be eradicated. If our relationship to our neighbors is defined primarily through our national citizenship, then our concern might be primarily the safety of our nation, of our community. But since our citizenship is in heaven, and no thief or murder can threaten that community, we have the freedom and responsibility to always think of our neighbors in terms of God's love for us and for them. This, of course, does not mean that we should be unconcerned with the safety of our loved ones and our community, but it does mean that even when we know that a criminal must be punished, we never fail to see them through our relationship to Christ, and so love them.
It also means that when we consider the morality and justice of the death penalty, we never think only of how to protect our communities or to right wrongs, because our allegiance and treasure and safety is not in our country. We must also consider how to love those who commit atrocities or are falsely accused of committing such atrocities.

Syrian aircraft have killed more than 330 people in a nine-day bombing campaign on Aleppo, with the opposition National Coalition threatening Monday to boycott next month's planned Geneva peace talks if the attacks continue.
The vicious campaign has seen aircraft drop barrels of TNT on rebel-held neighborhoods – a tactic widely condemned as unlawful – flooding hospitals with victims, according to activists, medics and others.
"From Dec. 15 to 22, 301 people have been killed, including 87 children, 30 women and 30 rebels," said the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which relies on activists and witnesses on the ground.
It later said 30 people had been killed Monday in attacks on the rebel-held Marjeh and Sukkari districts of Aleppo, once Syria's commercial capital.
Over the nine days, 99 of the fatalities were children, it said.
Activists released footage of what they said was a school targeted in the village of Mareh near Aleppo. Children can be seen running from the school and screaming as explosions rumble in the background.
Inside, men pull children from the rubble, their faces caked in dust and blood. It was not possible to independently verify the footage.
The border of Azaz was also targeted by barrel bombs, activists said, giving a figure of 15 dead.
On Sunday, 65 were killed near an Aleppo marketplace in one of the bloodiest days of the air campaign, according to activists.
A security source told AFP that President Bashar Assad's army had adopted the tactic because of a lack of ground forces, and argued the heavy civilian toll was because the rebels – branded "terrorists" by the regime – are based in residential areas.
Barrel bombs are crude devices filled with explosives and fuel that are wildly inaccurate – often landing near schools and market places, causing massive damage on impact.
The government has not commented on the use of the crude weapons, or on the intensified strikes over Aleppo. But the timing suggests that Assad could be trying to strengthen his position a month ahead of the Geneva talks.
The main opposition National Coalition called on Western states to impose a no-fly zone to halt the attacks.
"Until Assad's warplanes are stopped, the humanitarian disaster, regional instability and the rise of extremism will only continue to get worse," said Munzer Aqbiq, an adviser to coalition president Ahmad Jarba.
Later, coalition Secretary-General Badr Jamous said that "if the bombing the Assad regime is carrying out and its attempt to annihilate the Syrian people continue, then the coalition will not go to Geneva."
Jamous said Jarba had been in touch with the British and French foreign ministers to tell them about the "daily attacks carried out by the Assad regime using explosive barrels and warplanes, causing dozens of victims."
"If countries cannot put pressure on the regime to stop these operations of destruction ... how are they going to pressure the regime at Geneva II to obtain a political solution?" Jamous asked.
The talks are aimed at getting agreement on a political transition to end the war, which has claimed an estimated 126,000 lives since March 2011 and displaced millions. The opposition is demanding that Assad step down as part of any deal, which Damascus rejects.
The initiative is aimed at building on the momentum of a deal to eradicate Syria's vast chemical arsenal by mid-2014, which averted punitive U.S. strikes after an August gas attack near Damascus killed hundreds of people.
But Jarba said it is "shameful that ... the international community takes measures against chemical arms while ... it allows the regime to kill the Syrian people with conventional arms ... almost daily."
He called on world powers to take "immediate" decisions to put an end to regime attacks.
In Britain, Foreign Secretary William Hague said in a statement: "I am deeply concerned at the escalating level of violence in Syria. I condemn the use of brutal and indiscriminate weapons in densely populated civilian areas, such as we have seen in Aleppo in recent days."
Analysts argue that the regime has been emboldened by U.S. President Barack Obama's failure to act after Assad allegedly crossed his "red line" against using chemical weapons.
"There are no more red lines, there is a green light," Salman Shaikh, the director of the Brookings Doha Center, told AFP, saying there is an "element of vengeance" in the Aleppo bombings. "Any credible use of force was taken off the table by Obama and the international community."
In the capital, Assad received an Australian delegation telling them his government is fighting extremists who might strike anywhere in the world, the state media said. SANA said the delegation included academics, researchers and activists.
"What is happening in Syria and the region in general affects the whole world," Assad told the delegation. "The country is facing fanatic takfiri ideology that has no borders. It is an epidemic that could strike anytime and anywhere."
As for the final invite list to Geneva, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Iran was a very important regional power that could play a major role in helping end the Syrian conflict and should be allowed to participate in the peace conference.
Lakhdar Brahimi, the U.N.-Arab League Syria envoy, said Friday that Washington was blocking Iran's participation.
Ban said he planned to issue invitations before the end of December to the Jan. 22 peace conference and expressed hope that "the question of Iran's participation is resolved soon."
The U.N. chief said "negotiations will be difficult, but without them there is only bloodshed and despair on the horizon."

DJS Telecoms wrapped up the Basingstoke and District Saturday League Division Two title with a 4-0 victory away at Twenty-Ten.
The visitors needed just one point to ensure they were champions and they took the lead through Lee Neal just before the break. The same player doubled the advantage from the penalty spot in the second half, while further goals from George Lagden and Nathan Lawson wrapped up the title.
A few days earlier, Twenty-Ten had beaten Bengal Brasserie 7-1. Carl Pearson hit a hat-trick, Ryan Lupton bagged a brace and Joe Hill and Joe Osbourne also found the net. Clayton Deacon got Bengal's lone reply.
Bengal lost again on Saturday, going down 3-2 to Hampshire Irons, who claimed second place in the division.
Bengal missed two penalties before Jay Greene put Irons ahead, with Ben Hasking doubling the lead. Deacon reduced the arrears but Dave Arnold restored the two-goal cushion and while Irons had Rob Mead sent off, Bengal could only pull one goal back, Mark Johnson setting up a nervous finale.

Paycheck protection legislation took another step forward in Pennsylvania this week when the House State Government Committee voted to block public-sector labor unions from using employee dues to fund political activities.
Committee Chairman Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler, said using union dues for political purposes is "an injustice."
The committee joins the state Senate and most Pennsylvanians in supporting paycheck protection. The measure now goes to the full House, though it was not immediately known when the chamber will take up the bill. Any bill that emerges from the legislature faces a potential veto from Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf.
"It protects members from being forced through the union to fund political candidates or causes they don't support," said the bill's original sponsor, state Sen. John Eichelberger, R-Blair.
The issue is also being considered by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The court heard arguments last week in Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association, a case that aims to overturn the 1977 ruling in Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, which endorsed the collection of "agency fees" by public-sector unions from non-union members.
Agency fees are supposed to support collective bargaining costs and have been mandatory, even for public employees who choose not to join a union. However, many teachers have opposed those fees and do not want to give any money to unions that support political agendas they don't agree with.
"Government union leaders have long relied on taxpayer-funded payroll systems to collect union dues earmarked for politics and even direct campaign contributions," said Matthew Brouillette, president and CEO of the Commonwealth Foundation, a free-market think tank that supports paycheck protection. "This creates a conflict of interest for those on the receiving end of government union funds and makes taxpayers an unwilling third party to partisan politics. We can all agree that public resources should not be used for private, political purposes."
Related: GOP renews push for paycheck protection.
In Pennsylvania, for example, the union-backed America Works USA spent more than $1.1 million last year on political ads financed by union dues. The National Education Association, the parent union of the Pennsylvania State Education Association, contributed $1 million to America Works, and the American Federation of Teachers, the parent union of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers and the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers, contributed almost $1.5 million to the Democratic Governors Association.
"If elected officials use public resources for politics, it's a crime," Brouillette said. "The same should be true for government unions. No Pennsylvanian should be forced to fund someone else's politics."
Democratic lawmakers and Pennsylvania unions have argued that paycheck protection unfairly targets unions, citing automatic paycheck deduction for things such as insurance.
Paycheck protection previously stalled in Harrisburg in 2014 when a version limited only to school districts failed in the Senate. Wolf opposes the measure and could veto it once it hits his desk. An override would be unlikely.
Supporters are also considering an amendment to the state constitution, which could take two years or more but would bypass the governor, who has no role in the amendment process.

Classics and Letters
A Classics degree focuses on the major languages, chief literary figures, and the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. Emphasis is placed on the important role Classical tradition has played in shaping the literature, arts, and general culture of Western civilization. Through its focus on the classical world, the program gives particular attention to the skills necessary for success in the information age: oral and written communication, independent and critical thinking, and the management and evaluation of information.
A Letters degree is interdisciplinary, and the curriculum is flexible enough to accommodate most students' interests. Emphasis is placed on the areas of history, literature, and philosophy. In addition, supporting courses are taken in an ancient language, a modern language, and the appreciation of the fine arts. The program is based upon the assumption that cultivated intelligence, good judgment, and artistic expression in speech and writing are desirable in and for themselves. Both Classics and Letters degrees are common preparation for careers in law, medicine, and religious ministry.

Doing GREAT!
I'm glad to say my cat's doing great with the LK. Before I ever received my LK.I've slowly moved up his litter box up on a 2 by 4 platform and took off the litter guard from his litter box to simulater the LK. It primed him for actually getting up on the toilet. I"m glad I did. I had the LK on the toilet the first day and he's used it just fine ever since. Additonally I've put his used litter in the discs of each new stage insted of putting new litter when switching stages. I think that's helped. I honestly don't think my cat is any smarter then most. This seems to be working great for us. I'm not making any timelines for when when he's done. I'm pretty sure I'll just know. When he's confident with a stage. I've advanced him to the next. Almost Done!

Most highly-touted junior prospects are working on improving their stock and waiting to see what their options might be and they consider it too early to confront the serious questions that will inevitably have to be answered.
Charlotte (N.C.) Christian junior linebacker Ty Linton is already asking himself those difficult questions. He isn't ruling out an early decision, so he figures he might as well be serious about the process.
The 6-foot-1, 205-pound linebacker has run the 40-yard dash in 4.48 seconds and picked up an offer from Wisconsin earlier this fall.
"I have offers from Wisconsin and Miami of Ohio right now," he said. "(North) Carolina and Vanderbilt -- I've been talking to them. They're looking to come in and offer in a couple of weeks, I think."
With an offer from the Badgers on his mind, Linton is seriously considering the possibility of spending his college years in Big Ten country. That wouldn't be as big a change as one might imagine, as he grew up in the region.
"Wisconsin is probably my number one choice right now. They're in the Big Ten and I'm from the Chicago area. It's always been my dream to play in the Big Ten.
"I just want to see what schools decide to offer from down here. I'm not sure if I want to stay close to home or leave the area. I wouldn't mind playing for a North Carolina school."
Linton said he has latched onto the Tar Heels since his family moved to North Carolina. He has already been exposed to the UNC program briefly.
"I was actually at one of UNC's camps this past summer. I talked to coach Tommy Thigpen and they're interested in me. He said they're probably going to want to make an offer. I figure I'll just hold out and see what happens. I'll wait to see which in-state schools offer then probably make my decision.
"I wouldn't mind deciding soon at all. I think I'm going to make my decision before my senior year."
Linton will be at the U.S. Army All-American combine in early January. He plans on leaving for Texas the on December 26. Since he already has a major offer he said it is unlikely that he will attend camps or combines at any schools next year.
If he had to make his decision today, and both were options, would he choose Wisconsin or North Carolina?
"That's tough to say," he said. "It just comes down to whether I want to go up there and be that far from home. Playing in the Big Ten would be a really big accomplishment for me. Playing for a program up there is what I've always wanted to do, so it's a little bit of a factor. I really can't say one has an edge over the other, though. It would be a hard decision."

Hudson, J. (2003) E-Galitarianism? The information society and New Labour's repositioning of welfare. Critical Social Policy, 23 (2). pp. 268-290. ISSN 0261-0183
In recent years, claims that epochal shifts in the socioeconomic landscape demand a reappraisal of the welfare state have become almost commonplace and postmodern, post-Fordist and postindustrial perspectives on the welfare state have all found a place in academic literature. However, while each of these discourses has noted the role of technological change in enabling the emergence of new societal models, in general the significance of such change for social policies has been overlooked. This article argues that there are significant connections between notions of a technologically driven information society and New Labour's vision for welfare. In support of this claim it considers New Labour's outlook on the role of the state in contemporary society and some of the specific policy mechanisms being put in place to help ease the `transition' to an `information age' and offers the notion of `e-galitarianism' as a label for their approach.

J.J ABRAMS has lived up to his mysterious reputation with his latest trailer, Stranger.
But the cryptic teaser has left fans in suspense as to what the as-yet unnamed project is all about.
The sci-fi director and his production company Bad Robot released the haunting minute-long clip with very little context.
Filmed in black and white, a lone man rises from the waves on a beach under the moonlight, while a gravelly voice says: "He arrived knowing nothing of himself. Who is he? Soon he will know."
The dark trailer has sent Abrams fans into a spin on Twitter, all questioning what Stranger is.

Political machine
1800s. A highly organized nineteenth- century political group, often compared to a new technological innovation because of its efficiency and complexity. Most machines developed with in major cities and were run by bosses who had influence over elected officials. Politicians within a machine provided services or favors for their constituents in exchange for votes, sometimes resulting in their being brought up on charges of bribery or corruption. Tammany Hall, New York City's Democratic Party political machine was a famous example.
Tammany hall William Macy "Boss" Tweed
1800s. The most notorious political machine of the nineteenth century, located in New York City and run by Democrat Wm. Macy "Boss" Tweed. The excesses of the Tweed ring (such as expensive bribes made the taxpayer expense) led to an outcry for political reform. Political cartoonist Thomas Nast was instrumental in rousing public outrage over Boss Tweed which resulted in his eventual downfall. Tweed fled to Europe in 1871 to avoid prosecution but was eventually convicted and died in jail.
Nouveau riche
1800s. French for "new rich." referred to people who had become rich through business rather than through being born into a rich family or inherited wealth. The nouveau riche made up much of the American upper class of the late 1800s.
Late 1800s- early 1900s. High- density, cheap, five- or six- story housing units built in the late nineteenth century and designed for large urban populations. In the United States, tenements were built in northern cities to house the growing immigrant and later African- American population in the late 1800s and earl 1900s. Tenements were known for their severe overcrowding and lack of ventilation and plumbing.
John A. Roebling 1806- 1869/ Brooklyn Bridge 1880s
Roebling pioneered the development of suspension bridges and designed the Brooklyn Bridge, which was a technological feat in the 1880s.
Thomas Nast
1804- 1902. newspaper cartoonist who produced satirical political cartoons he invented "Uncle Sam" and came up with the elephant and the donkey for the political parties. Political cartoonist_____ was instrumental in rousing public outrage over Boss Tweed which resulted in his eventual downfall.
James McNeill Whistler
1834- 1903. A member of the Realist movement, although his works were often moody and eccentric. Nest known for his Arrangement in Black and Grey No. 1, also known as Whistler's Mother.
Ashcan School
1908. Also known as The Eight, a group of American Naturalist painters formed in 1907, most of whom had formerly been newspaper illustrators. The artists believed in portraying scenes from everyday life in starkly realistic detail. Their 1908 display was the first art show in the US and included artists such as George Bellow and Edward Hopper. One critic maintained their works should be thrown out with other trash- hence the name "Ashcan School."
Armory Show
1913. An art show in the US organized by the Ashcan School. It was controversial because it was most Americans' first exposure to European Impressionist and Post- Impressionist art, and caused a modernist revolution in American art
Edwin Lawrence Godkin
1831- 1902. editor who established the Nation magazine in 1865. In 1881 he became an editor of the New York Evening Post and in 1883 editor in chief, carrying the Nation by then an influential critical weekly, which him as a weekly in connection with the Post. Godkin was a political independent and attacked the carpetbag regime, corruption under President Grant, free silver, organized labor, and high tariffs. His integrity gave Godkin's opinion weight. He was an important spokesman of laissez- faire in economic policy.

text: 3949 Lindell, an upscale apartment community in St. Louis, Mo., owned by EdR (NYSE:EDR) will be demolished and reconstructed following a fire the evening of July 17, 2012. There were no major injuries or casualties. "First and foremost, we are relieved that all residents are safe," said Randy Churchey, president and chief executive officer of EdR. "Words cannot express the gratitude we extend to the men and women of the St. Louis Fire Department, the Red Cross, St. Louis University and the Humane Society. They worked diligently and heroically to quickly contain the fire and provide comfort to the residents." All safety systems performed as intended, the building was up to code and the fire is not suspicious according to preliminary reports from local fire officials. EdR will assist the St. Louis Fire Department as the investigation continues, but for now our focus is on caring for and providing assistance to our residents. A team of EdR executives have been onsite since Tuesday night helping residents find temporary and long-term accommodations, reunite with lost pets and retrieve valuables and essentials from lesser damaged apartments. The team delivered refund checks on Thursday, July 19, to all lessees for their July rent, deposit and any other pre-paid items. EdR (NYSE:EDR), one of the nation's largest developers, owners and managers of collegiate housing, purchased the collegiate community adjacent to St. Louis University in St. Louis, Mo., in January 2012 for $28.45 million. The four-story apartment complex contained 256 beds in a variety of 197 studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments with upscale amenities and features. "As with all of our communities, EdR has casualty insurance and business interruption coverage which will provide for rebuilding the asset and replacing lost income during the construction period," said Randy H. Brown, executive vice president and chief financial officer for EdR.

Google has announced that it has opened up Google+ sign-ups to all, bringing the service out of its invite-only shell.
Not only has it made the service available to everybody, it has also announced it is bringing one of its more impressive features to mobile phones – Hangouts.
Hangouts is the group chat service which is direct competition with the likes of Skype and, to a lesser degree, Facebook.
It has also improved Hangouts for the web, including the addition of screen-sharing – you can now visually share and talk about Google Docs – and you can now name your Hangouts.
There's a new feature as well, called Hangouts On Air. These are more like public broadcasts that people can tune in and out of as they wish.
At the moment, the number of broadcasters for the part of the service is is limited but anyone can join these On Air sessions – the first will be Intel's favourite Black Eyed Pea Will.i.am.
Don't shoot the Messenger
And these aren't the only new features – Google has announced nine in total (seven just for mobile), but some of these are rather minor.
On the mobile side it includes improved SMS support, better +mentions and +1'ing comments and one of the big things is that Huddle has now been renamed as Messenger.
When it comes to the main Google+ website, search functionality has been added – which is something we were surprised that was missing from the invite-only version of the social network.
Given that Facebook F8 is this week, which should bring with it big changes to the social network, Google has timed its Google+ update extremely well.
