text: ST KITTS - The experienced T20 hands of Dwayne Smith, Shoaib Malik and Jason Holder combined to give Barbados Tridents the 2014 Caribbean Premier League title after emerging victorious at St Kitts in a rain-affected final against Guyana Amazon Warriors. Chasing a revised target of 116 in 15.5 overs, the Warriors fell eight runs short as no batsman passed 30 and finished runners-up again after their disappointment last year.After losing Martin Guptill early for 7, Lendl Simmons (20, 26b, 1x4, 1x6) and Mohammed Hafeez (28, 27b, 1x4, 2x6) put on 37 for the second wicket but struggled to step up the scoring rate. Holder's inspired spell - that included the wickets of Hafeez and Jimmy Neesham - kept the Warriors in check and even the presence of captain Denesh Ramdin (14, 10b, 1x6) couldn't inspire them to victory.The Tridents were helped by half-centuries from Smith (59, 52b, 6x4, 3x6) and Malik (55*, 42b, 4x4, 2x6) to post 152 for 6 in their 20 overs after being put into bat, and despite a double-wicket blow from Krishmar Santokie that had reduced them to 8 for 2 inside three overs. Smith and Malik combined to add 88 that came in just 10 overs, with the duo smartly playing out Santokie and Sunil Narine, and attacking the inexperienced bowlers.Another double-blow threatened to derail the Tridents innings as Narine dismissed Smith and captain Kieron Pollard off successive balls, but Malik kept the innings together and a late surge from Jeevan Mendis (15*, 13b, 1x4, 1x6) lifted them to a competitive total, which eventually proved to be enough after the rain delay.BRIEF SCORES: Barbados Tridents 152/6 in 20 overs (Smith 59, Malik 59*; Santokie 3/19, Narine 2/20) beat Guyana Amazon Warriors 107/4 in 15.5 overs (Hafeez 28; Jason Holder 2/18) by 8 runs (D/L method).

Polio Outbreak in Caribbean Believed Caused by Vaccine
A strain of polio virus used as a vaccine apparently has mutated and caused a rare outbreak of the paralyzing disease in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, the Washington Post reported Saturday.
Citing health officials at the Pan American Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the daily reported that the outbreak of at least four discrete cases of polio marks the first time such an event has been reported in the Western Hemisphere, where the last known incidence of the disease was identified in Peru in 1991.
Officials said the current outbreak is under control and does not pose an immediate public health threat, although it raises questions about current efforts to immunize people against the dreaded disease.
"We cannot take our lack of polio for granted," Walter Orenstein, director of the CDC's national immunization program, told the Post.
"It highlights the importance of maintaining a high level of suspicion for polio, and for assuring that our vaccination coverage is maintained."
Three polio cases were confirmed in a rural area of the Dominican Republic, and a single case in an extremely isolated hamlet in Haiti. A genetic analysis of the strains show that they are all related, suggesting that they developed when the weakened live virus used in the oral polio vaccine mutated.
In addition to the four known cases, 16 other possible cases are under study but have not yet been confirmed – WASHINGTON (AFP)

Leaves of Brussels Sprouts in Browned Butter
Recipe by Akikobay
My kids will go nuts when they see fresh brussels sprouts at the grocery store...we just can't leave without them. A very perplexed woman asked me how I prepared them to make them kid-friendly and equally perplexed, I recited this recipe to her. I came to hunt for this recipe and I've seen some similar ones, but not quite the one we use around here. Preparation is a tad time-consuming, but well worth the effort in my mind. I think that coring the brussels sprouts helps to take the bitterness away. In any case, it's the way that my kids will eat pounds of these on Thanksgiving weekend. You can add herbs and spices, but we love the simplicity of this dish! (You may think that these will taste no different than some sauteed cabbage, but they really are wonderful. These little jewels are so sweet that it's no surprise that kids will love them.)
Top Review by RenoFoodie
We love to eat them this way too. I find it easier to cut them in half, core and then slice thin. They cook in no time and taste wonderful. You don't have to add onion... just have lots of yummy browned butter ;-) My girlfriend suggested this cooking technique, now I'll never go back to "oven roasting" them. Too bad most people think they need to be cooked whole or halved.
See Discussion:2 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb Brussels sprout, fresh
- 1 small onion, sliced very very thin
- 1⁄4 cup butter, unsalted
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Directions See How It's Made
- Take the brussels sprouts and rinse them off.
- Cut each brussels sprout in half, cut out the core and separate the leaves as best you can. Discard the core, save the leaves! Some of the leaves will clump together, but if you get most of the leaves separated, it should be fine.
- Rinse the greens again.
- Melt the butter in a skillet and slowly heat until golden brown.
- Add the onions to the skillet and cook until soft, but not completely cooked through.
- Add the brussels sprouts leaves to the skillet and saute until cooked, but not overdone.
- Taste.
- Add salt, pepper, and any spices or herbs to taste.
- Serve warm and watch it disappear.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Children were removed from home because a kid claimed he was being beat.No marks were found on children but children made outcry of abuse.The eldest child has an history if behavior problems that have been documented.Even after being removed from home,child has had behavior problems resulting in 3 diffrent placements.The third and current placement is in an mental hospital.
You should have an attorney this far along in the process and I would talk to your attorney about contesting the removal or a monitored return if you have complied with your service plan.
This answer does not create an attorney/client relationship. Consult my office for a confidential consultation. Leslie Barrows, The Barrows Firm, P.C. looks forward to protecting your rights!Ask a similar question
What is an monitored return.An service planned has been drafted.It included parenting classess,counseling and other classess.The caseworker said she couldn't technicly give me a plan until after the show cause hearing.Mother agrees to complete service plan but wants children home.
Do you have any experience with Asociate Judge T.White in ft worth family law court 329?
I don't, but generally view the Tarrant County Judges favorably.
What do you mean?
I don't have any personal experience with Associate Judge White in Fort Worth that I can remember. That said, I generally have a favorable opinion about Tarrant County (Fort Worth) Judges. Tarrant County Associate Judge--I think it was Mendoza (the one who had been a nurse for 25 years and who has the turtle) --spoke at a CLE seminar last week, and I was blown away. When I have appeared in Fort Worth my experience has been that they follow the law in custody, contempt and protective order cases. My experience with that Judge doesn't matter. The case law I was trying to share with you below does matter.
Ok thanks.
In my recent experience the the 256 Court in Dallas is that the Court usually agrees with CPS. It is made worse when the Judge of that Court repeatedly appoints attorneys without significant CPS Defense or litigation experience, and/or without good work ethic, to represent the indigent parents and as ad litems for the children. If there is no attorney wheel where qualified attorneys are appointed randomly, it gets worse. These attorneys don't want to rock the boat with the Judge because then they won't get more appointments. They also don't work to hard to show that the Judge is not applying the law properly, and the Judge ignores that the court appointed attorney bills reflect that they are not providing the minimum representation required by Family Code Section 107. You want a private attorney who will work hard for you, and who has CPS Defense experience if possible.
There is a great case out of Houston, In In the Interest of C.T.E., 95 S.W.3d 462, 467, (Tex. App. --Houston [1st Dist.] 2002), the Court focused on the reality of the children's conditions in foster care, and assessed whether or not it was actually an improvement. In In Re C.T.E., the Court reversed the termination of parental rights of Mr. Green, even though he was in jail at the time of trial and had a history of drug use, using the Holly v. Addams factors. Like in your case, the C.T.E. children had been bounced from foster home to foster home. The In Re C.T.E., Court stated honestly while Mr. Green," has not been able to provide a stable home for his children due to his imprisonment, it is evident that TDPRS has likewise not been able to achieve this goal." In the Interest of C.T.E., 95 S.W.3d at 468. Get your lawer to review this case. For some reason everyone drinks the Koolaid that these kids once removed from the home are magically transported to adoption bliss. The In Re C.T.E. case says WAKE UP. Look and see whether these kid's situations have been improved or harmed by the State's involvement. And if the State is making things worse, maybe it should stop.

The European Space Agency (ESA) is looking to amateur skywatchers for help tracking its Rosetta spacecraft, a comet-hunting probe set to swing past Earth next week.
Rosetta – and its attached lander Philae – is expected to fly by our planet on March 4, though ESA officials expect the spacecraft will be visible via telescopes and binoculars as soon as Feb. 26. and have announced a photography contest dubbed "Rossetta Up Close" for homegrown astronomers hoping to catch the spacecraft in their camera crosshairs.
Launched in March 2004, Rosetta has spent about one year in space – about one-tenth of its ultimate journey – playing catch-up to the Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Rosetta itself is bound to orbit the comet and study the object as it nears the Sun and begins to outgas material. Later, the Philae lander is designed to harpoon the comet and anchor itself to the surface for further study.
It appears the best view for Rosetta fans – weather providing – will be in Mexico. The comet probe will fly over the region as it makes its closest approach to Earth at about 5:10 p.m. EST (2210 GMT) coming within 1,180 miles (1,900 kilometers).
Because of its current trajectory, the Rosetta-Philae spacecraft combo should appear from a patch of sky between the constellations Leo and Sextans.
While observers in Europe are not expected to be able to spot Rosetta with the naked eye, they may be able to use video and photo imaging together with telescopes to catch the approaching spacecraft. The probe's high gain antenna and solar panels, which extend out to 104 feet (32 meters), may also be visible via imaging equipment.
Rosetta will not be silent as it swings past Earth during the upcoming flyby maneuver. Just a few hours before the spacecraft makes its closest approach, the probe will be pointed toward the moon in order to use the natural satellites to calibrate its onboard instruments.
After the flyby, two navigation cameras will be switched on to check Rosetta's asteroid tracking ability using the moon as a 'dummy' asteroid. They will be used to verify Rosetta's position once the spacecraft drifts past two asteroids, Steins in September 2008 and Lutetia in July 2010.
After its March 4 approach, Rosetta will move faster as it heads west on to its next planetary encounter, a flyby with the planet Mars on Feb. 27, 2007. Following that Mars boost, the probe will return to swing past Earth twice more to build up enough acceleration to reach its target comet in 2014.
Observers hoping to learn more about ESA's "Rosetta Up Close" contest should visit the space agency's website here for details as they become available.

Sneak Peek: Future of Coral Reefs in an Acidifying Ocean
Scientists don't often get the opportunity to travel through time. But nestled among the beautiful coral reefs of Papua New Guinea (PNG) is a place that provides a glimpse today of what could be the biggest future threat to coral reef survival: ocean acidification . Ocean acidification is occurring because the ocean has absorbed about a third of the carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) released into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels . That carbon is changing the chemistry of the ocean, making seawater more acidic. Reef biologists expect this to be a bigger and bigger problem as more and more...Read more

Some childen with FXS benefit from medications that treat ADD, ADHD and other attention disorders. Other children who experience general anxiety, social anxiety, OCD and other perseverative disorders may benefit from different types of anti-anxiety medications. Parents often have to work with their child's doctor in trying more than one medication before finding the best fit for their child. For children facing more significant psychiatric challenges, a number of available "anti-psychotic" medications may be of value.
Children with FXS have a higher incidence of various medical/health issues that often require medications. Prominent among these are anti-seizure medications and antibiotics for recurrent ear and sinus infections. Some babies with FXS also have problems with gastrointestinal reflux and may be prescribed medication to help treat their symptoms.
Families often read or hear about medications to treat FXS being developed or actively used in research trials. Many of these medications are under investigation for their potential to treat the symptoms of the condition, particularly its cognitive and behavioral aspects. It is therefore important to understand that clinical trial medications are not available through your health care provider.
A clinical trial is a study in which the participants are given the drug for a specific period of time and are carefully monitored for both positive and negative responses. The trials proceed through different phases to assess appropriate dosages, possible toxicity, clinical outcomes, etc. Clinical trials usually occur within a medical center, often where there is a Fragile X Clinics and a researcher (a "P.I." or primary investigator) who heads up the study. We have more information about clinical trials and possible opportunities to participate on our Opportunities for Families page.

We aquarists face many challenges re-creating natural aquatic habitats, but one stands out from the others: creating realistic water motion in our closed systems. The key role that water motion plays in the health of aquatic animals is not as well understood as many other aspects of the hobby.
Yet the role that water motion plays in maintaining a healthy environment is a complex one. Moving water is richer in oxygen than still water, so water motion aids in gas exchange. Flowing water brings dissolved and particulate nutrients to sessile (immobile) animals, such as mollusks, sponges, tunicates and corals. Water motion carries away waste products that would otherwise accumulate and degrade water quality.
Virtually all aquatic ecosystems are continually bathed in constantly changing water as it flows across the area. Tidal currents, winds and wave action constantly churn the waters surrounding a coral reef. Freshwater habitats are also continually flushed as freshwater flows toward the sea.
Finding the Right Water Movement
While moving water is essential for the health of every aquatic habitat, water motion of the wrong kind can create problems, as well. Many aquatic organisms can be stressed and even damaged by excessively strong water motion. The message for aquarists is that we need to create realistic water motion that is both natural and adequate, while also realizing that there is actually danger in creating the wrong kind of water movement.
Finding that balance turns out to be harder than you might think. The traditional approach to water motion in an aquarium is to position one or more small powerheads at the surface in the corners of the aquarium. This churns the top of the water and gives the impression of a lot of water motion. In a fish-only aquarium, this approach is quite acceptable. Water motion at the top of the aquarium aids gas exchange, and this is the primary need in a fish aquarium. The only downside is that limiting water motion to the surface area allows solid waste to accumulate at the bottom. Fortunately, periodic vacuuming can take care of that.
Yet the more complex an aquarium's eco-system, the less the corner-powerhead approach creates a satisfactory solution. The larger the aquarium or the more densely it is aquascaped, the harder it is to have adequate water motion throughout the aquarium. For example, in densely planted freshwater aquariums, surface water motion does not penetrate more than a few inches below the surface. The denser the growth, the more important it is to move water from the bottom of the aquarium to the surface. One solution is to add traditional airstone-powered lift tubes to the aquarium. These move water up from the bottom of the aquarium to the top. Combine the lifts with powerheads at the surface, and you will have a low-cost solution for all but the largest planted aquariums.
Reef aquariums need even more water motion than planted freshwater systems. Many traditional reef aquarium inhabitants are invertebrates that require a constant flow of water over their surfaces. Inadequate water motion can stress them, and in extreme cases, it can literally suffocate the animals. This is why a reef hobbyist needs to take special care in creating a water-motion regimen. One common approach to increase the amount of water movement is to use more powerful powerheads. Powerful powerheads have larger impellers that push more water. The problem is that larger powerheads move more water by creating a higher-velocity water stream; the danger is that high-velocity water flowing over an invertebrate can damage it.
Sessile invertebrates can't find a better place to live. They have to live wherever you've placed them in the aquarium. If you place them near the stream from a powerful powerhead, they could be damaged.
Replicate Natural Flow
The water motion found over natural aquatic ecosystems is diffused and turbulent. There is a great deal of energy involved, but the force of the water flow is not focused like if it is coming out of a powerhead. The velocity of water in any given direction is small, but the total movement of water in all directions is high. To mimic the water flow across a natural coral reef, we want large volumes of water flowing at a low-velocity flow.
Think of the difference between the water flowing out of a garden hose and one from a high-pressure power washer. Because of the larger cross-section of a garden hose, the volume of water flowing from a hose may actually be greater than the flow from a power washer, but the velocity of the water is lower. How do we create the flow from a garden hose rather than a power washer?
We can achieve high volume, low-velocity water flow in a number of ways. One solution is to use a number of small powerheads rather than one large powerhead. Four small powerheads will create more natural turbulence than one or two large powerheads. Because the volume of water moving is a function of the size of the powerhead, and velocity is related to the cross-section of a powerhead's nozzle, using multiple small powerheads creates more natural water movement. To create even more turbulence, the powerheads can be randomly switched on and off using a wavemaker.
While this approach is an improvement, the majority of turbulence is still at the surface, not lower in the aquarium where it is needed. To create water motion lower in the aquarium, one can mount powerheads lower. For aesthetic reasons, most hobbyists avoid this, so a more aesthetic solution is to use one or more closed loops for circulation lower in the aquarium. A closed circulation loop draws water from one portion of the aquarium and (by an external pump) returns it to the aquarium somewhere else. This approach is particularly effective in long, narrow aquariums.
A closed-loop system can use a large pump and move a tremendous volume of water at low velocity by also returning the water using a large cross-section manifold. A manifold is simply any device that has one inlet and multiple outlets. The hobbyist controls the velocity of water exiting the closed loop by increasing the number of outlets until the velocity of water is slow, but the volume remains high.
A relatively new development in aquarium water motion is the propeller pump. A propeller pump uses an electric motor to turn a propeller. The high-velocity flow of a powerhead is created by an impeller pushing water through a nozzle. The propeller pump does away with the nozzle. The propeller pushes water in all directions, so the dangerous shearing effect of high-velocity water is quickly dissipated.
All of these methods employ pumps that run continuously. There are other greener methods that use less power. Approaches that use periodic surges of water, such as dump buckets, can create very realistic water movement. They do tend to demand a lot of space and are high-maintenance.
Zonation and Water Movement
Coral reef zonation divides the coral reef into areas based on environmental factors, particularly water motion. The zones in which animals are found is a useful guide in determining how much water motion an animal likes in the wild.
Fore reef. The fore reef is exposed to storms, strong surges and high waves. The animals that survive on the fore reef tend to be fish that thrive in the surge zone and strong hard corals. Stubby branch-ing corals, along with boulder and encrusting corals, are the most common. There tends to be little sand in this zone, so fish that swim in the open water outnumber more cryptic saltwater fish that burrow or use coral cover for protection.
Anemones like turbulent water but are sensitive to shearing forces that can tear tissue. Anemones occur with their commensal clownfish in somewhat protected areas of the fore reef where grooves have been carved out from the rock.
Back reef. The fore reef takes the brunt of storms, so the back reef tends to be more protected and calmer. This is the area of greatest diversity because most animals can live in this environment. Stony corals predominate, but these corals tend to be larger and grow more quickly than those on the fore reef.
Clams and other mollusks can be found here, along with schooling fish, such as damsels and anthias, that use branching corals for protection.
Patch reef. The calmest waters are found around patch reefs and lagoons. Soft corals mix with fragile stony corals (so-called bottlebrush corals). Patch reefs accumulate sand, driven landward by storms along with detritus, so the bottom is a mix of mud and sand, drawing bottom-dwelling animals that burrow in the sand and live on the food they can filter from the substrate. Patches of algae and sea grass can often be found around the patch reef.
How a Closed-Loop System Can Improve Circulation
The primary reason water is typically returned from the sump to the aquarium near the surface is to prevent back-siphoning in case of a loss of power. Water can be returned in the lower portion of the aquarium by employing a closed-loop circulation system (CLCS). A CLCS increases circulation throughout the aquarium by drawing water from near the surface of the water and then pumping it through a closed loop to an outlet placed lower in the aquarium. Because the loop is closed, the water level in the aquarium will remain at a safe level even if there is a loss of power.
If you are contemplating a very large aquarium, using a surge method can save a lot of money, but for the majority of hobbyists, the methods outlined in this article can achieve equal success with a lot less trouble.

On the one hand, Sony has just revealed that the PS4 will be capable of playing second-hand games, and that you'll be able to share your games freely with your friends – two things that will be controversially restricted on the Xbox One due to games being locked to an individual's account.
On the other hand, the Xbox One will only get faster the longer you own it, thanks to Microsoft's clever use of cloud computing to bolster the main processor of the console, whereas the PS4 won't get faster, meaning it will get slower and slower, relatively speaking, the longer you own it.
Those are two pretty big differences, and choosing wrongly could cost you dearly.
Then again, given that the PS3 cost around $1000 when it first came out in 2007 in Australia, and given that many of us were willing to fork over that much money at the time (if for no other reason than to get our hands on a Blu-ray player), another question arises: why not just get both?
One reason to get both consoles is that either or both of those differentiators between the two could go away. In the absence of our soon-to-be-sadly-missed national broadband network, Microsoft's cloud-processing strategy probably won't work very well in Australia. If you're going to be rendering real-time graphics or doing real-time physics calculations in the cloud, as Microsoft is planning for the Xbox One, then you need the fastest, lowest-latency network available.
Between the extra hops that fibre-to-the-node will add, and the dramatically lower speed, our NBN Lite probably won't be good enough for cloud processing.
Similarly, Microsoft's plan to limit the lending of games, and to clamp down on the way games can be resold, is so pig-headed and so alienating to so many games enthusiasts, that Microsoft might well ease the restrictions some time in the life of the console.
Both outcomes could dramatically alter the balance of power in the console wars. So, given those uncertain outcomes, and given the lower console prices this time around, an each-way bet may well be the most prudent course.
All of this is just a fancy way of saying I want both of them.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you probably didn't visit LG's stand at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January, where the laser TV was on display and was awesome.
Technically, it's a display rather than a TV, because it doesn't have any TV tuners built into it, so I guess I should call it that from now on. The LG Laser Display (but think of it as a huge TV) is a small box that projects an 100-inch high-definition video onto a screen located a mere 56 centimetres from the box.
Think about 56 centimetres for a moment. That's not a very long throw for such a huge, 100-inch picture. In fact, 56 centimetres is a downright tiny throw. It's short enough that you could sit the projector on an entertainment unit sitting right in front of the screen, and it would still work. No need to cut a hole in your ceiling to mount your video projector. No need to duck to make sure you don't block the picture and have popcorn tossed at you. Just plonk the projector on the entertainment unit, affix the special reflective screen to the wall, and you're away.
For $8999, you'll get the 100-inch Laser Display, as well as an LG Blu-ray player and a twin-tuner PVR, and the anti-reflection screen that LG says even works in brightly lit rooms – all installed by Harvey Norman. Not that it would need much installation.

The Australian Taxation Office has poured cold water on fears that the entire taxpaying population is at risk of online fraudsters, after the identity of four tax agents was stolen and used to access taxpayer information.
The stolen identities were used to create unauthorised digital keys (AUSkeys) to access what is known as the tax agent portal, giving access to client accounts.
"The ATO has contained the threat and cancelled the AUSkeys," the ATO said in a statement on Friday.
"We are working with the affected tax agents to ensure their practices and information is secure."
The ATO said it was also working with law enforcement agencies in its investigation of the incident.
Early reporting of the incident flagged a threat for all taxpayers once the fraudsters where in the system, but the ATO has confirmed that only the records of around 20 taxpayers were put at risk.
"It's not about the systems at all," said an ATO spokeswoman. She emphasised it was a case of identity theft.
To access the details of taxpayers beyond the relevant client database, identifying information is required including a person's tax file number.
It's the kind of information that could give a person access to another's tax account through other means, including the ATO's call centre.
Institute of Public Accountants senior tax adviser Tony Greco said that once an agent's security was compromised, an intruder could lodge false tax returns and direct refunds to their own bank account.
"Fraudsters can ran amuck over an agents' client database like letting loose a shark in a fish bowl," he said.
"Luckily ATO integrity checks stop major fraud from happening."
The ATO's new $800 million-plus computer systems has boosted its ability to identify when anomalous or suspicious claims are made.
Mr Greco said fraud cases often related to an agent being a bit lax with their digital certificate, through which they authorise access to client accounts, including by sharing it with numerous staff members.
Clients for individual agents could number in the thousands, he said.
The ATO used it as an opportunity to warn people and agents to be vigilant about their personal information and online security.
"People looking to commit identity fraud constantly look for ways to profit so it is critical to remain vigilant," it said.

Sydney (AFP) Feb 6, 2013
Australia's strong dollar has done little to dampen its popularity with Chinese and Indian visitors, with tourist numbers from those countries tripling in the past decade, data showed Wednesday.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics said there were 630,000 visits from Chinese tourists in 2012 compared with 190,000 in 2002. Indian visits went from 45,000 to 160,000 in the same period.
"Despite a high Australian dollar, Australia's short-term visitor numbers were up by nearly five percent since 2011 with 6.1 million short trips made to Australia -- 270,000 more than we saw in 2011," said Neil Scott, the bureau's assistant director of demography.
Neighbouring New Zealand was Australia's largest source of visitors, accounting for 1.2 million trips or one in five visitors, but China had overtaken Britain, the United States and Japan to bag the number two spot.
One in ten visitors to Australia was now from China, Scott said, with Asia now accounting for seven of the top ten source territories.
Japan was number five, with 5.8 percent of total visits, followed by Singapore (5.6 percent) Malaysia (4.3 percent), South Korea (3.2 percent), Hong Kong (2.9 percent) and India (2.6 percent) at number 10.
More than two thirds of Australia's short-term visitors came to holiday or visit friends and family, and the peak age group was 25-29 years old. The average stay was 11 days.
New Zealand was the destination of choice for travelling Australians, accounting for 13.4 percent of all overseas trips.
Indonesia ranked second at 11.1 percent followed by the US (10.5 percent), Thailand (7.6 percent), Britain (6.0 percent), China (4.6 percent), Fiji (4.0 percent), Singapore (3.7 percent), Malaysia (3.2 percent) and Hong Kong (2.8 percent).

Good morning,folks. Today is dawning bright and sunny. Makes the grass grow...poor Hubby has been mowing and weed eating. I need to learn to use our new mower. I used to mow the whole place on our smaller ZTR mower. Now Hubby has bought a new one and it's huge, and a bit intimidating. It is supposed to have a slow gear,but it seems to have two---fast and faster. And when you hit one of those crawfish mud mounds--poof and the dried mud goes flying. It dulls the blade, but we have some wet places, and you can't avoid them.
@ Betty: You have great ideas. I'll have to try some of them. I know what it is like to step on slugs..Squash!

Just as you have no corn, I have no anger and I am not calling on the CREATOR for support. The CREATOR offers it freely to those that trust and believe and have respect for others as well as the CREATIONS.
I have survived many decades of those that think their intelligence will sustain them. But when the final curtain is drawn and the mind goes blank, what then? Will your intelligence live on? or was it all for naught? What will history and memories of you reflect?

BEVERLY HILLS - Edward Furlong, best known for his role as John Connor opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in the movie "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," was charged today with a misdemeanor count of battery.
The 35-year-old actor was scheduled to appear today in Beverly Hills Superior Court.
Furlong was arrested about 5:45 a.m. Sunday by deputies sent to the 1400 block of Laurel Avenue in West Hollywood on a domestic disturbance call, according to the Sheriff's Department.
Furlong was booked on suspicion of domestic battery, and also was held on a warrant for domestic violence, sheriff's officials said.
The previous case -- filed in December -- alleges a misdemeanor count of corporal injury to a spouse, cohabitant or child's parent involving the same woman last Nov. 21.
Furlong was being held in lieu of $50,000 bail.

That isn't
"calling it."
Then again, Jett lives in a bubble where he thinks WB listens to him.
BatmanonFilm's Jett doesn't claim to be a clairvoyant. His sources generally provide him information
on the fly
; as such, some of what he reports is naturally subject to change.
Here are the facts:
Following Snyder's big announcement regarding the new film, Jett first reported that the studio was looking to cast a somewhat older actor in the coveted role of Batman, depicted this time as a grizzled veteran of sorts. That turned out to be true.
He later claimed that several actors, including Brolin and Affleck, were being considered for the part. Also true.
One of the trades, specifically The Hollywood Reporter, subsequently confirmed that Brolin was in the mix. Based on that info (and presumably more), Jett apparently thought the
Gangster Squad
actor was a shoe-in for the part. Although Jett's assumption here was wrong, Brolin did go on to confirm that his people actually were in talks with Snyder, further claiming that "it just didn't turn out".
So.. when you consider what all he reported on the subject (as a whole), Jett certainly wasn't far off. My thinking is if you're looking to get an idea as to where things are going with the film as production slowly moves along, BOF's a fairly good resource. Now, if you expect flat-out back-to-back predictions with a flawless accuracy rate.. it's not that.

I am at a loss for words....
I ran across this story today. I am at a loss for words. Cars are being stolen from the US and used for suicide car bombings in Iraq!?!?!? Are you freakin serious? How in the world could this happen?
The inquiry began after coalition troops raided a Falluja bomb factory last November and found a Texas-registered four-wheel-drive being prepared for a bombing mission. Investigators said there were several other cases where vehicles evidently stolen in the US wound up in Syria or other Middle Eastern countries and ultimately in the hands of Iraqi insurgent groups, including al-Qaeda in Iraq.
So, as an argument, we as Americans should drive fuel efficient, hybrid, SMALL cars in order to avoid aiding the terrorists. Wow. You won't see that extrapolated for any headline scrolling news.

text: Yesterday, we left the place for the first time since the permits were issued. I went out of here with the glock in a paddle holster on my right hip, one of those huge 4X shirts over it, and an oversized jacket over that. Stopped at a Sudden Service for coffee first. This is the first time I have carried a gun in public since leaving Fairbanks back in the 60's. I could not have felt more conspicuous if I had one of my AK's on my back with bayonette attached! It REALLY felt like everyone in the place was watching me. Next stop was the Salvation Army to drop of some tee-shirts I had pulled from my closet to make room for the new size huge ones. I felt less conspicuous. Next stop was the mall, to Lenscrafters to have my new glasses adjusted a bit. I felt more at ease. Next stop was Sam's Club where I LOVE to shop. At times, I forgot I was packing. Next stop was our favorite restaurant, where I was even more relaxed. Next - Hobby Lobby, where I did not think about it. Next the car wash, where I bent and twisted all around while cleaning and vaccuming the car without taking special care at all - Last stop was a pet shop where we buy bird-seed for the wild birds. I never even thought about it. Returning home, I unloaded the car, put stuff away, and changed clothes. When I went to pull my belt out of my knife holster I realized I was still wearing the pistol. One trip, several stops, completely at ease now. From this point forward, I will not leave home without it except for rare trips to federal or state facilities where it is forbidden.

Lady Eliza Manningham-Buller, the former head of MI5, delivered a withering attack on the invasion of Iraq, decried the term "war on terror", and held out the prospect of talks with al-Qaida.
Recording her first BBC Reith lecture on the theme, Securing Freedom, she made clear she believed the UK and US governments had not sufficiently understood the resentment that had been building up among Arab people, which was only compounded by the war against Iraq.
Before an audience which included Theresa May, the home secretary, she also said the 9/11 attacks were "a crime, not an act of war". "So I never felt it helpful to refer to a war on terror".

text: http://cover32.com/cowboys/2014/04/03/will-your-favorite-player-be-available-when-the-dallas-cowboys-pick/ Every year, I am curious as to which players the Cowboys are likely to have on the board when it's time for them to pick in the first round. And this year, I think I found a unique way to visualize the likelihood that a player will be available to them. So here's what I did. Using the fan-speak mock draft simulator, I ran the mock 20 times and each time I recorded the players that were available to the Dallas Cowboys at their selection. Now, the simulator isn't perfect and there were a few times where a random 2nd-3rd round prospect popped up into the first round. Still, the chart below is a good indicator of just who may be available when the Cowboys are on the clock: Read the rest of the notes and tidbits at: http://cover32.com/cowboys/2014/04/0...-cowboys-pick/

Aylward, Alison (2005) Recovering the lost voice : exploring the use of role in dramatherapy with depressed women. Other thesis, Concordia University.
Text (application/pdf)5MB
MR10314.pdf - Accepted Version
The following paper describes and summarizes my qualitative research in the form of group case study based upon the therapeutic process of four female participants. The primary question explored is: does the use of role in dramatherapy have efficacy for adult women suffering from depression? I have herein chosen to examine a feminist theoretical model which addresses women's inherently relational nature as it links with their susceptibility to this serious illness. Chapters One and Two comprise a review of the relevant literature with a heightened emphasis upon role theory. Chapters Three, Four and Five introduce my four participants and provide summaries of their therapeutic progressions through role, as well as a description of and rationale for employing Renee Emunah's Integrative Five Phase Model. Chapter Six presents an overview of both individual and group experiences of specific, role-related dramatherapy tools. Finally, Chapter Seven consists of a critical appraisal of the process and resultant findings.

Keith Olbermann Comes Back To Our Homes Monday June 20 2011 and We have Missed Him!Posted by rose in RoseSpeaks
Tomorrow night at 7 PM EDT which is 6 PM CDT Keith Olbermann RETURNS, and has he has been missed during this time of trials and tragedies for the poor and middle class.
It is said you have to be a left leaning fringe progressives to like Olbermann, I reject that, I have always been an moderate independent and in most years I have voted a split ticket. Moderate Indpendent to me means I am pro-choice for women rights but anti abortion PERSONALLY!
My voting though might change if the Repbublicans continue to redo our country so the division in the wealth continues to go the way that history shows happened right before the GREAT Depression. What they don't get is if you do away with the middle class and you have only the rich and the poor workers who become willing to work for wages their family cannnot live on, get medical treatment or education, eventually you will have the very rich jumping from windows on Wall Street. Think back to before 1929 Hoover and the Republicans and the great division in wealth. It took us over a decade to recover. I am now glad that I sat and listen to my family talk about the great depression, how they survive and how President Franklin Delano Roosevelt saved our nation.
Anyway back to what this is about WELCOME BACK TO OUR HOME Keith Olbermann, I am sure I will shed a few tears as I listen to you tomorrow night.
I encourage each of you to tune in and make sure the 225,000 to 250,000 core viewers that Olbermann has always had are there tomorrow night. Tell a neighbor, friend or family member to tune in. The free clinics… back…. the voice to power no matter the party…. back… the voice for the silent majority…. back the voice to keep Medicare (which Texas just privatize so take notice of Rick Perry as he woos the nation…. back…. the voice that we each have a right to live in our birth land…back …… the voice to save Social Security even as it has been gobbled up by the cost of living…. back.
On DirecTV you can watch Keith Olbermann on channel 358, on Comcast Cable channel 107 Times Warner in New York channel 103 in the rest of the country channel 142 Dish Net Work 196, Verizon Fios channel 192, AT &T U=VERSE channel 189. If you have a different form of cabel you can go to http://current.com/shows/countdown/, on the middle of page on the right is a place to put in your zip code and it will tell you how to find Countdown with Keith Olbermann, WOW doesn't just saying that sound good… If you have Suddenlink and other cable providers they might not offer Current TV you can mount an email demand to have it added to your cable comapany.
Join us and then give us your feedback on Keith Olbermann's long awaited return to our home.

Islamabad: The Supreme Court of Pakistan has issued detailed judgment against Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in contempt of court case.
The 77-page verdict was written by Justice Nasirul Mulk who headed a seven member bench during the course of proceedings against Gilani.
The Prime Minister was sentenced for less than 30 seconds imprisonment in short order on April, 26.
Gilani was convicted by the country's top court for not implementing its orders of writing letter to Swiss authorities to reopen graft cases against Asif Ali Zardari.
The verdict noted: "The court was deliberately ridiculed that might result in disqualification for five years". It said Gilani's counsel (Aitzaz) didn't utter single word about disqualification.
"Judicial system would be destroyed if top official of the country would defy court orders," the detailed judgment said.
The court said in the ruling that if the argument regarding the President had been accepted it would be dangerous precedent.
Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani who left for UK for 5-day visit on Tuesday, had refused to resigned from the post, saying he would file an appeal against the Supreme Court of Pakistan's ruling after it released detailed judgment.

Hurricane Irene could be major threat to Eastern Seaboard
Hurricane Irene plowed through the warm waters of the Caribbean on Tuesday, threatening to bring howling winds, torrential rain and destructive waves to a 1,000-mile swath of the Atlantic Coast.
Officials from Florida to the Carolinas urged residents along the entire East Coast to prepare for a powerful storm that was aiming for landfall this weekend in North Carolina and threatening to disrupt Sunday's dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Irene weakened to a Category 1 storm with 90-mph winds as it hit the Turks and Caicos Islands on Tuesday, but it was forecast to regain strength as it glides across tropical seas.
INTERACTIVE: Track Hurricane Irene
North Carolina Gov. Beverly Purdue said the National Guard is ready to respond to the storm and that she had told emergency officials to check equipment and emergency supplies such as water, food and generators.
Officials in South Carolina were preparing to evacuate if necessary. "There are a lot of people on the coast," said Derrec Becker of the South Carolina Emergency Management Division. "We want to make sure we have plenty of time to evacuate."
In Washington, representatives for the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Project Foundation still hope for good weather for dedication ceremonies Sunday expected to draw tens of thousands of people. "It's premature to announce any sort of decision today," said Bill Line, communications director for the National Park Service.
It's been six years since the lower East Coast was last struck by a hurricane and much longer than that since a major storm hit New England. With that recent record, emergency management officials worry that residents might be complacent about Irene.
"It's probably more a denial issue," said Dennis Feltgen, spokesman for the National Hurricane Center in Miami. "We're not only years removed (since the last hurricane), we're a generation removed, especially in parts of the Northeast."
The last hurricane "to have any impact on the East Coast" was Hurricane Wilma in Florida in 2005, Feltgen said. The last to hit the USA was Hurricane Ike, which struck Texas in 2008.
The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency warned that Irene threatens the entire Eastern Seaboard. "People think of hurricanes as a Southern thing," FEMA administrator Craig Fugate said. "But the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coastal communities need to be taking the track of Irene very seriously."

AMP shareholders remain braced for a massive loss for 2003 but the company salvaged something from the sea of red ink yesterday by lifting its estimate for underlying earnings and some shareholders will be glad the insurance giant has finally agreed to buy back its underperforming listed income securities - although at below the price paid by original investors in 1999.
Aided by factors beyond its control, such as the strong sharemarket, AMP now expects an underlying net profit of $600 million to $620 million for calendar 2003, to be reported next week. But shareholders are still facing a bottom-line loss, including write-downs relating to its British demerger plan, of more than $5 billion.
The new underlying profit range is well above the $402 million to $535 million range given in the explanatory memorandum for the demerger of the UK business, even though that range was set only two months before the end of the year. However, roughly half or $30 million to $45 million of the newly discovered additional earnings are due to undisclosed "positive one-off items", rather than business unit performance.
Shares in AMP soared 45c to $4.96, closing at $4.91.
Wilson HTM's Brett Le Mesurier said: "Originally it was worse than most people thought, now it's better than most people thought," he said. "The consistent feature is it's different to what most people, not least of all management, think."
On the income securities, AMP is offering long-suffering holders (including many former GIO shareholders) $98 per security and accrued interest, instead of the $100 per security plus accrued interest under the original redemption provisions. AMP is opting for an optional "buyback" of as many of the securities as it can at any price. The securities not bought back will remain listed.
The insurer has also settled litigation with several overseas hedge funds which were contesting AMP's previous decision not to redeem the securities.
AMP has changed its position on the income securities because it is now able to more quickly pay down its $3.2 billion in debt, including the income securities, thanks to a transfer in December of $725 million out of life fund subsidiary AMP Life.
AMP Life has enjoyed higher profits and investment outperformance in strong markets and had also undertaken undisclosed "capital management" initiatives to free capital.
Managing director Andrew Mohl said the discrepancy in AMP's forecasting reflected, "in roughly equal parts, improved business unit performance, particularly in the final months of the year, and a number of positive one-off items that emerged in the end of year review process".
This suggests AMP's operating results, excluding the one-offs, are roughly 10 per cent better than in the explanatory memorandum, although it is not clear how much of the gain is attributable to its non-core Cobalt/Gordian division and the core businesses in distribution and asset management. AMP was not saying.
However, analysts said they'd look more fondly on the rise in earnings if it were attributable to cost cuts and new business, rather than any actuarial tricks.
