Striving to Remain Asia's Favorite Destination
Bali has been named
"Asia's Favorite Holiday Spot"
for three consecutive years by the readers of
Time Magazine
. Bali hotels continue to invest heavily in upgrades and refurbishments in order to retain this accolade in years to come.
Tourism Arrivals Falling Short of Targets
Increasingly Apparent that Final Tally for 2003 Will Miss Official Goal of 5.2 Million Arrivals.
Total tourism arrivals via all of Indonesia's thirteen international gateways for the first ten months of 2003 reached only 3.02 million, a drop of 15.4 percent when compared to the same period just one year earlier.
With only two months left in the year, it is increasingly apparent that tourism will be hard pressed to achieve the 5.2 million tourists targeted by the Nation's tourism authorities for the entire year. Based on past performance, totals for 2003 are now likely to fall somewhat short of the 4 million mark, a more than 20% gap below the targeted arrivals for the year.
Musical Evening Extraordinaire
Jaya Suprana Mesmerizes Bali with His Homecoming Concert at Sanur Paradise Plaza.
Jaya Suprana is a hard man to label. He is a successful businessman in Indonesia's traditional Jamu medicine industry. He is a social activist known for his commitment to community projects. A well-known raconteur and host on his own national TV talk show, he is also a gifted composer and pianist, whose compositions form part of the national music curriculum. He also owns a zany museum recording Indonesian records for achievements, both heroic and off-beat.
A man of tremendous gifts and personal charm, his stellar performance in a solo piano recital on Saturday evening, December 6, left an audience of over 400 at the
Sanur Paradise Plaza Hotel
spellbound and demanding encores.
In a program comprised of his own compositions, western evergreens, and traditional Indonesian songs, Mr. Suprana closed the evening's program with a memorable multi-media presentation in which he accompanied President Megawati and a host of other Indonesians notables as they sang the touching
"Indonesia Pusaka"
Born in Bali in 1949, the Saturday evening concert represented a musical home-coming for Suprana who has performed Indonesian music in solo recitals around the world. Many of his compositions explore the pentatonic scales of Balinese and Javanese Gamelans with haunting musical effect.
Jaya Suprana's appearance in Bali was donated without charge to assist the
Bali International Women Association (BIWA)
in their fund-raising activities to curb drop-out rates at local schools which have reached levels as high as 60% following the terror attacks of October 2002.
Professional Event Management for the Jaya Suprana
"Indonesia Pusaka Concert"

API To Offer Bali Tokyo Flights in April
Japan Will Represent Sixth Overseas Destination for Bali's Home-Grown Airline. Taipei Flights Suspended until Mid-December.
I Made Wiranatha
the Balinese businessman who gave flight to
Air Paradise International (API)
has recently declared that his airline will start flying three times a week between Bali and Tokyo, commencing in April of 2004.
The Japanese service is scheduled to use Airbus 300-600 equipment in an effort to serve the Japanese market, once the mainstay of Bali's international tourism industry. Once underway, Tokyo will represent the sixth international destination served by
in addition to Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Taipei, and Seoul.
Taipei Service Temporarily Curtailed
has suspended its services between Bali and Taipei, due to the sudden drop in Taiwanese visitors to Bali.
The sudden downturn in Taiwanese visitors followed a travel advisory issued by the Taiwanese government after 25 tourists visiting the island developed dysentery in late November 2003. The suspension of service is expected to last until mid-December by which time it is hoped traffic levels will return to normal.
The Taiwanese market has become in recent months the largest inbound market to Bali, supplanting the Japanese and Australian arrival numbers who continue to be far below former levels.

According to Singaporean press reports, organizers became concerned when technical crew did not arrive at the airport on Monday as scheduled. The band's spokesman finally clarified on Tuesday that the group was skipping all four countries in the Southeast Asia segment of their tour, blaming the security situation in the region.

Reports carried in the Indonesian-language
, quoted Mr. Tommy Pratama of
Original Productions
- the Indonesian promoter for the Bali concert, as saying the host promotion companies in the 4 affected companies found the Band's sudden decision "unprofessional" and were exploring legal steps available to them against the musical group.

Consider the reaction,
CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) => CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g).
How many grams of H2O(g) will be made by the reaction of 17 moles of CH4(g) with 7 moles of O2(g)?
This is a limiting reagent problem. How do I know that. Because BOTH reactants are given. Basically, what we do is work two simple stoichiometry problems, identify the limiting reagent as the one producing the smaller amount of product.
CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) => CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g).
First CH4: Using the coefficients in the balanced equation, convert 17 moles CH4 to moles H2O.
17 moles CH4 x (2 moles H2O/1 mole CH4) = 34 mols H2O
Next O2: Same process.
7 mols O2 x (2 moles H2O/2 mols O2) = 7 moles H2O.
Obviously both answers can be right which means one of them is wrong. The correct answer in limiting reagent problems is ALWAYS the smaller value; therefore, the reaction will produce 7 moles H2O and O2 is the limiting reagent.
Now convert 7 moles H2O to grams.
g = mols x molar mass.
thanks..now I know how to do this kind of problem...you rock!

As we bid 2013 a fond farewell, here's a look back at the the stories that had people talking on the Suncoast throughout the year.
In January, Suncoast daredevil Nik Wallenda gave a free show to his hometown as he crossed a high wire 200 feet over the bayfront.
Two people died when a small plane crashed onto the campus of New College.
ABC 7's own Linda Carson was seen in a viral video getting knocked to the ground by a goat while reporting from the Manatee County Fair. Linda's video was shown by Good Morning America, Jimmy Kimmel, and Anderson Cooper, among many others.
A Bradenton prankster was arrested for giving people wedgies outside a movie theater. The same man was later also arrested for jumping over a deputy's head, and streaking at a Rays game.
In February, Bradenton authorities went the extra mile to rescue baby chicks from a storm drain.
A Bradenton man claims to have spotted an image of Jesus in a Corona beer case.
In March, 35 men were arrested in a Bradenton sex sting, including a youth choir director and a Tampa high schoolteacher.
Scientists from Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota tagged and released a 14-foot great white shark for research.
In April, residents of The Oaks were accused of shooting fireworks at a bird rookery in an attempt to get the nesting birds to leave.
A Sarasota man was arrested for beating his boss's dog to death with a tire iron.
In May, Video surfaced of what is claimed to be a Skunk Ape sighting in Myakka River State Park.

Facebook is apparently in the soup at Campbell Soup, as its global director of digital marketing and social media, Adam Kmiec, tore into the social network during Business Insider's Social Media ROI Conference in New York Thursday.
According to Business Insider, Kmiec took Facebook to task for its communications, or lack thereof, as well as its lack of data for advertisers prior to its initial public offering.
Kmiec said, as reported by Business Insider:
(I have) never seen anything as ADD as Facebook. Before they were public, you couldn't get Facebook on the phone. It's interesting what happens when you actually have to show your numbers. Oh, we might actually have to have salespeople.
Kmiec had nicer things to say about rival social network Twitter:
The product was made to benefit people through the eyes of brands. If you ever want to be blown away, ask Twitter to show data on a social trend. It's fast.
Readers: What did you think of Kmiec's comments?

Rip off by the checkoff
File this one under "Separation of Meat and State: We Could Use Some."
This time (and there are dozens of cleaver ways U.S. taxpayers are bilked into state-funded meat promotion) it's the government's checkoff program. These days, it is severely challenging all hope for sanity.
The checkoff forces meat producers to fork over a percentage of each sale to the government, so it (the government) can design national advertising campaigns on their (the farmers') behalf. "Got Milk?" and "Beef: It's What's for Dinner" are a couple of well-known examples. Smaller meat producers have had their own complaints with program, at one point challenging the advertising-on-automatic-pilot in court on the grounds that it tends to benefit larger concerns.
In any case, vegans should file their own legal brief on the subject. I'd say, we now have a class-action lawsuit staring us right in the face. The latest: Checkoff money is going toward the promotion of Quiznos Prime Rib Sub, a product that, if we could just get the nutrition information about it, is sure to conflict starkly with the government's own official dietary guidelines. And that's just for vegan-issues starters.
While you ponder that, may I suggest you take a look at a recent blog post from U.S. Food Policy (The U.S. Food Policy and Economics from a Public Interest Perspective). It's put together a very nice rundown of the facts.

Australia's largest independent private-equity firm will be without two of its most senior executives as it attempts to raise another $3 billion from investors.
Anthony Kerwick and Rob Koczkar will remain with Pacific Equity Partners for another two to three years to finish managing its fourth fund, but founding partner Tim Sims said the pair could not commit to the five-plus years required to invest and manage PEP's fifth fund.
"We're sorry to see Anthony and Rob eventually leave the team but we look forward to working with them over the next two to three years," Mr Sims told The Australian Financial Review on Sunday.
"I'm excited about the scale and quality of the PEP team, which includes 11 other directors."
Mr Kockzar is understood to be keen to pursue his philanthropic interests, while Mr Kerwick has business interests in Queensland.
PEP has told potential investors Mr Kerwick and Mr Koczkar would not be involved in investing in the $3 billion Fund V (which consists of a $2 billion main fund and an open-ended co-investment fund) aimed at institutional investors.
The main fund originally had a target of $2.7 billion. PEP last raised money for Fund IV in 2008, but investors have not yet been repaid any of those funds.
Mr Kerwick and Mr Koczkar make up the second tier in PEP's management structure behind founders Tim Sims, Rickard Gardell, Simon Pillar and Paul McCullagh.
Mr Kerwick joined PEP in 1999 and became a managing director in 2004. He serves on the boards of Griffin's Foods, Veda Advantage, Peters Ice Cream and Spotless.
Mr Koczkar joined PEP at its inception in 1998 and rejoined the firm in June 2004 as a managing director after three years in London, where he was a principal with TPG. He serves on the boards of Hoyts Group, Energy Developments and Spotless.
The departure of Mr Kerwick and Koczkar is a blow to PEP, which is also battling court claims that it misled Asahi when it sold a $1.2 billion business to the Japanese brewer in 2011. In the Federal Court in Melbourne on Friday, PEP was told it had until April 30 to file its defence.
At a private equity conference in Sydney last week, Mr Sims said he was optimistic about a return to days of strong performance and was "looking forward" to achieving net internal rates of return of 50 per cent from the new fund. Banks were lending selectively for acquisitions and Mr Sims said deal flow looked "very strong".
He rebuffed suggestions that private equity would struggle to raise funds given the reputational issues troubling the industry.
PEP has also been criticised about its float of Collins Foods Group in August 2011. Three months later, the business downgraded its prospectus forecasts, more than halving its share price. But there have also been a number of successes: the sale of poultry business Tegel Foods is believed to have netted investors a return 3.8 times their original investment.

Optimism reigns with Penn State's football team
In the afterglow of one of the greatest wins in Penn State history, Matt McGloin, the Nittany Lions' record-setting and outgoing quarterback, made a prediction.
"No one's going anywhere after tonight," McGloin said.
That remains to be seen, as now comes the hard part for a program that must operate under severe NCAA sanctions for the next three years. Underclassmen are free to transfer without penalty until the start of next season, and coach Bill O'Brien and his staff must replenish a talent base with limited scholarships.
The rapture generated by an 8-4 season capped by a 24-21 overtime win against Wisconsin will inevitably ebb. And the reality that Penn State will be at a competitive disadvantage for at least the next three years will challenge O'Brien on two fronts: retaining his core players and bringing new ones.
"I'm sure everyone wants to stay," freshman tight end Jesse James said. "Everyone loves each other. We're one family, one team."
James is one of the players who provides hope for the future.
The South Allegheny graduate has the look of an emerging star, and he is part of a nucleus that includes receiver Allen Robinson, running back Zach Zwinak, defensive end Deion Barnes, left tackle Donovan Smith, cornerback Adrian Amos and linebacker Mike Hull.
Zwinak rushed for 1,000 yards despite opening the season on the lower rungs of the depth chart, and the redshirt sophomore said opposing coaches shouldn't bother inquiring about his interest in transferring.
"I made the commitment (to stay at Penn State), and I'm going to finish it out," he said.
Defensive coordinator Ted Roof said the way Penn State finished its season shouldn't be underestimated when it comes to other players feeling the same way.
The question that will linger concerns O'Brien's future.
The former New England Patriots offensive coordinator is a candidate for national coach of the year honors. There has been speculation an NFL team will pursue him as a head coach even though he has eight years left on his contract and a buyout that would cost him more than $9 million if he left after one season.
O'Brien has not commented, adding to fans' anxiety. But the seniors who provided a foundation that could keep Penn State competitive until it sheds the albatross of sanctions expressed confidence that O'Brien isn't going anywhere.
"The morale is high. The guys are loving every second of it," senior running back Mike Zordich said. "We've got great coaches who have awesome relationships with the younger players, and there's a lot of talent. It's going to be tough, but I have no doubt in the bond between the coaches and players."
Neither does senior Stephon Morris.
"It's not just one team for 2012," the cornerback said. "That goes on, so when we say 'one team' when we break the huddle, that's 2013, 2014."
O'Brien will start on 2013 this week when he conducts exit interviews with underclassmen. He and his staff also will hit the road to recruit as they try to capitalize on a season that exceeded expectations.
"We hit the ground running basically on Monday," O'Brien said. "I think we accomplished a lot this year, and hopefully we can go into the offseason and figure out what we can do better. Every team is different, so every year is different, and so next year's team will obviously be a lot different than this year's team. Who knows, we might come out in the wishbone."

Belgrade, Serbia (PRWEB) October 9, 2010
Nordeus has released Top Eleven Football Manager game for Facebook.
Summer 2010 changed everything for soccer fans on Facebook. Millions of people enjoying management of a virtual football club got a game that fulfills their needs online. And it's on Facebook. As most of the first user reviews said: "Finally!"
Top Eleven Football Manager, developed by a European company Nordeus, follows the concepts and gameplay found in the international bestsellers like Eidos' Championship Manager and Sports Interactive Football Manager series. But - it's online, anytime, anyplace with all the benefits of multiplayer gaming, allowing players to interactively communicate and play against virtually millions of sports and football fans. Seems like that's the right cocktail for a really addictive game.
Once you click the 'Go To Application' Facebook button a pleasant club setup screen awaits you to create the identity of your new virtual champion of the world: name, emblem, jerseys, etc. After that the glory is yours - you compete in Leagues against your Facebook friends and other users or play friendly games, the best teams qualify for Champions League…
The real attractiveness of Top Eleven is in the features of the game. Every manager has complete control over his club by training, selling or buying players, complex tactics settings, watching games live and adjusting formation and orders to the current situation, building stadium and infrastructure, dealing with the finances and sponsorships. And all of these have direct influence during the game.
For example, bigger stadium can take more soccer fans, which means bigger moral for players and more money from selling match tickets.
"The entire development team has strong passion for football management and sports in general and it was great fun developing a product you actually love to play yourself. I think we have something to be very proud of as Top Eleven is a pioneer in many fields and user feedback and the energy users' community invests in helping us becoming even better every single day is just astonishing." said Branko Milutinovic, Nordeus CEO.
About Top Eleven Football Manager:
Top Eleven Football Manager is a multiplayer game developed for Facebook and other social networking sites. The game was conceived in order to address the lack of social football-management games that follow the concepts and gameplay found in international bestsellers like Eidos' Football Manger and Electronic Arts' Premier Manager that have engaged millions of passionate football fans. Eidos' Football Manager, for example, is one of the Europe's best-selling titles every year (2009, 2010).
Top Eleven Football Manager delivers compelling gameplay and visual richness to a whole new level, Through its quality of gameplay, revolutionary look and feel and rich user-researched features, the goal for the immediate future is to make Top Eleven Football Manager synonymous with online football management games.
About Nordeus:
Top Eleven Football manager was developed by Nordeus, an expanding venture-startup company.
Nordeus Interactive was founded in April 2009 by a group of former Microsoft engineers striving to leverage the desktop gaming experience to the web.

Sometimes it's hard to understand how any person could be as dishonest or as dumb as Joel Pollak is, and there's really nothing better anyone can say about Newsvine users who post his garbage and support it, other than that.
A relatively benign remark by President Obama to current Russian President Dmitri Medvedev was caught on a hot mic yesterday morning and reported by Jake Tapper of ABC News. Obama told Medvedev that the dispute between the United States and Russia over a missile shield for two European countries could be solved, but that he needed more time and hoped to dedicate more time to it after this fall's election.
This dispute is indisputably the fault of the United States and the Bush administration. George W. Bush didn't begin the missile shield program, but he was the first to try to push the shield into Poland and the Czech Republic and into Russia's backyard.
The crisis the Bush administration created was serious enough that Russia, who has long been destroying their nuclear stockpile with the help of the United States, threatened to freshly deploy short range nuclear weapons along their border with NATO countries in direct response to the planned deployment of just ten missiles in Europe. Russia additionally threatened to withdraw from the 1987 Nuclear Forces Treaty, a signature achievement of Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, which saw the elimination intermediate range nuclear ballistic and cruise missiles belonging to Russia and the United States.
All of that came in response to new planned weapons deployments in Europe. Imagine if Russia decided to deploy similar weaponry in Cuba – oh wait, they did that once. Remember how the United States reacted to that?
I can't remember how that turned out. It wasn't a big deal, right?
Any change in plans by the current administration would represent nothing more than a change of policy, since no missile shield has ever been deployed outside the United States and even the shield inside this country amounts to no more than a few dozen missiles, nowhere near enough to provide any substantive protection. President Obama believes missiles on board destroyers can be equally as effective as permanent emplacements in Poland and the Czech Republic, but that policy is in flux precisely because of on-going negotiations. Negotiations that idiots like Joel Pollak and most Americans aren't privy to.
Pollak, a cretin writing on Brietbart.com (whose traffic has fallen so far after a suicidal website redesign that broke every outside link to the site, that it now gets fewer page views that this Newsvine column does, which is ironic and appropriate given the kind of sewage that site produces) simply rewrote reality in his screeching, Palin-esque headline: "Obama to Putin: I'll Surrender America After Re-election"
President Obama never said he was going to cave on the overall missile shield program, and this component would not be the part of the shield that's protecting the United States. It's pretty much impossible to "surrender America" by asking Russia for more time to find a mutually acceptable agreement on a missile shield that largely doesn't yet exist that would only protect two foreign countries on the other side of the ocean.
It's what good leaders do when dealing with powerful foreign nations who have significant influence over issues of great importance to the United States all over the world. Finding compromise with Russia on the shield could mean more goodwill on sanctions against Syria, and Iran. Ignoring Russia's complaints and threats could mean losing decades worth of goodwill and could easily result in Russia ignoring the United State's interests and accelerating their arming of Iran, in addition to creating and deploying entire new stockpiles of nuclear weapons aimed at our other allies – an avoidable situation that we'd have directly caused. Not to mention the hundreds if not thousands of other diplomatic issues involved in dozens of countries that Russia works with the U.S. on.
Moreover, it's Russia we're talking about here. Unless Pollak has been stuck in some form of cryogenic suspension since McCarthy's anti-American persecution embarrassment, Russia is a strategic ally of the United States. Not an enemy. Russia has official relations with NATO and contributes soldiers to United Nations peace keeping missions in many different countries. There are Russian troops serving in Afghanistan as part of the collation, training Afghan soldiers.
Perhaps if you take a closer look at the modern far right (which isn't to say the entire conservative ideology here, perhaps more the neo-conservatives) and realize that Russia is considered an enemy simply because they aren't Americans. This isn't a revival of the red scare, it's a logical progression of xenophobia that has instilled the far right with fear of all foreign cultures and people. Hispanics, Muslims, Russians, Asians, you can pretty much go down the list of people that aren't white American men and eventually they'll appear on some GOP shitlist (the list neo-conservative Republicans keep of people that make them shit their pants).
At some point these people need to realize that it's possible for a country to have legitimate interests of its own that conflict with ours, without that country automatically being an enemy, just because of *that*. Even Israel has interests that conflict with the United States and of course Britain does. Conservative leaders need to help the administration find solutions to this problem that benefit both countries while denouncing the blood thirsty blowhards that crap their pants every time a shadow moves.
Russia has security problems and issues with democracy, but so does every country in the world. Including the United States. And like every country in the world, Russia has interests of its own that – cue the horror and mushroom cloud TV ads from 2008 – might conflict with ours when it comes to national security and foreign relations. It's not for another country to see weapons deployments – even missile shields – as a threat to their security when those shields could be used for almost any purpose, and it's not unreasonable for the two countries to work together to peacefully find common ground on issues that effect both of them. Especially when we're talking about conflicts very far away from the United States that only threaten our interests overseas, not our actual lives. It's not surrender to compromise, despite whatever bullshit George W. Bush was selling over the past decade – cowboy up? Grow the fuck up – it is not a sign of weakness and it's certainly not hating America to do something other than using military force every time we have a problem.
There have been countries that have taken that philosophy to heart (Germany, Japan) and the United States shouldn't become one of them. Even though we basically have in the past ten years, how has it worked out for us so far? Are we any better off now than we were before we invaded Iraq and launched secret drone wars in half a dozen countries? Would our allies be safer with a ten-missile-shield if Russia deploys 200 nuclear missiles along their border in response, or even worse off than before?
When people complain that it's impossible now to come to a consensus on important issues, people like Joel Pollak and the people who support his intentional distortions are just one of the many reasons why.

This particular piece of theatre is unlikely to display a great deal of Christmas spirit.
Switkowski will now be armed with his strategic review suggesting a way out of the great fibre morass – albeit at the remarkable cost of $41 billion.
The review argues the Conroy version would have ended up costing more like $73 billion and taken much longer to deliver. What's the bet Conroy will be determined to offer a different perspective?
But the key is Switkowski believes the NBN project done very differently can still meet a revised investment return of 5.3 per cent – conveniently keeping that indigestibly large capital cost off a budget bottom line already so badly stressed. Just ask Joe Hockey.
According to Switkowski, it may be possible to do even better in terms of returns once the project is managed more effectively so that costs are taken out and overall productivity improves.
Early days yet
But he concedes he will be more confident of the numbers once he has the corporate plan and budget in place, saying it's too early to tell just yet. Part of this will depend on the validity of the assumptions in the review. That includes what he says are now far more realistic revenue estimates and timelines. But it also means a focus on efficiency and costs.
"On the infrastructure costs, there's nothing in recent experience at the NBN that suggests we are even close to doing it as efficiently as we should do for brownfields [existing premises] expansions," he says.
That lack of efficiency includes, he says, the rollout of the fibre being "distributed far too thinly across a whole lot of electorates". Could that possibly have to do with Labor's determination to spread political support for the project as broadly as possible – a scenario always derided as absurd by the former minister?
Switkowski says calmly that it shouldn't be beyond the wit of man or woman to do better even if it might take a year to get there. The government will be ticking off the seconds in political terms.
But despite the radical change in design, Switkowski has been around long enough to understand the risks of long-term predictions in the fast-changing telecommunications world.
"You can't claim to make anything future proof," he says (which sounds like a direct hit on Conroy's confident claims a few years back that the NBN would "future proof" the economy.) "In this business to look much further out than a decade is to accept that there's huge uncertainty beyond that time period."
Time flies in tech world
Even then, a decade can seem more like an aeon in tech time.
As a former head of Optus as well as Telstra, Switkowski says he can recall the enthusiasm of Optus management for the investment returns predicted over decades from the rollout of the hybrid fibre-coaxial (HFC) cable in the mid 1990s.
But Optus was soon investing in the cable less and less. Under the Conroy plan, its ability to deliver broadband was due to be shut down to avoid any potential competition for NBN Co. The same fate awaited Telstra's HFC cable for broadband along with its entire copper network.
Under the Turnbull vision and the strategic review, HFC cable, which passes more than three million homes, and copper, available to almost everyone have many productive years ahead of them in delivering high-speed broadband. Constant upgrades in the technology available over copper and cable make this increasingly feasible. The tougher commercial questions will be over the ownership structure and payment for their continued use.
In a deal worth around $11 billion, Telstra, for example, was paid for the use of its ducts and pipes and also to progressively shut down its copper network as users were transferred to fibre instead. To Turnbull's expressed disgust at the time, Optus was also paid $800 million to not use its already underutilised HFC cable for broadband. Neither company will want to give up the money now. But how the assets are valued if NBN Co wants to acquire them will be a matter of negotiations to come.
Whether these negotiations will be difficult and protracted or relatively simple and quick will be crucial to NBN Co's momentum. And to the government's credibility on being able to clean up Labor's "mess".
Switkowski is basically suggesting that there won't be any less money – but that there won't be any more either. His argument is the assets were essentially "stranded and valueless" beyond the HFC cable's use for pay TV.
"The minister's been very clear that the deal that has been done with Telstra and Optus will be respected in terms of the value that accrues to the respective shareholders," he says. "But within that, to the extent that there are changes that do not of themselves change the cost to Telstra, Optus or ourselves, should be accommodated without any further consideration."
Turnbull has a similar view. But if David Thodey at Telstra and Kevin Russell at Optus don't see it quite the same way, even Stephen Conroy's dramatic performance in committee will be political Christmas cheer by comparison. Joy to the world.

A tropical virus that has caused severe illness and widespread panic on the islands of the Indian Ocean has become established in Europe for the first time.
The Ministry of Health in Italy has confirmed a* outbreak of Chikungunya virus near Ravenna in the region of Emilia Romagna, 200 miles north of Rome. A total of 151 cases were reported in two villages near the town of Cervia between 4 July and 3 September. Eleven patients were taken to hospital; one died.
It is the first time indigenous transmission of the virus has been detected in Europe and raises the threat that it could spread to other countries, including the UK. The virus is transmitted by the Aedes albopictus mosquito which is common in southern Europe and has been found as far north as Belgium.

2011 PSE Dream Season EVO....all black and MINT!!
I have a 60lb 2011 all black PSE EVO i'm looking to sell or trade. This thing is MINT! 9-10 I can't find a mark on it anywhere. Might have a set screw mark from the rest but that would be it! I just got this bow to upgrade my dads while he is deployed but I want to get him something with a little longer BH instead. I'm interested in one of the bows listed in 60,65,or 70lb. Bow must be in great condition like this one and strongly prefer black or black riser camo limbs but will look at all camo bows also. This is for the BARE BOW. Since I have to put a price on it $550 TYD but I would really rather just trade it. You can find me on Archerytalk under the same user name for feedback.

Hello my old Salt: Celebrity Eclipse Cruise Review by dundalkspur
Overall Member Rating
Hello my old Salt
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Southampton
1. Very ergonomic ship design
2.The Staff and Crew especially at the Blu Restaurant
3.The food choices in the Ocean View Cafe,Blu
The ship was super in the bay of Biscay.
1, Too much salt in food (especially Asian,soups) in Ocean view cafe.When I told the Maitre-de he just ignored me.I had a chat with the Maitre-de of the Blu (Jorge)who was super and looked after us .
2.The Gym is great but all the cardiovascular equipment need calibration and some repair.I reported this to the gym person who was more interested in chatting up other staff than doing her job?
3.The activities staff made the cruise boring!Clueless in the art of keeping passengers happy.
4.The choice of free on demand movies in TV was OK ,but they need more films .
Another gripe from passengers was the fact that we had to pay an extra $55 to cover buses/transport from the ship when we were in ports just to get to town.
As the More cruise was heavily discounted it attracted a high number of mature people who seem to be on a "booze cruise" who were not very pleasant to the crew or fellow passengers . There were also a high number of people with buggies who seem to block corridors and slow people down .
Published 06/07/13
Cabin review: AQ1599
Nice bed.Space limited for hanging clothes.As the balcony is high it is shaded from light by the top deck.When they have pool parties you can hear the base .We complained about the noise and we were told it would stop at midnight-but it continued till 3 am.Guest services just not interested when we told them we wanted to sleep.

Great staff, great excursions,...
Amazing experience!
great service. OK facilities
Great cruise.
Odd use of space on the ship
Needs to decide...

Almost perfection!

Stats/Leaders (PDF)
PRINCETON, N.J. -- The final set of cross division games took place over the weekend and by each posting 4-0 marks in such play, Harvard and Cornell came away as the big winners, while Princeton also had a solid Ivy showing with a 3-1 mark.
With the four wins, Harvard took control of the North Division and will enter Divisional play with a 7-1 record. Brown is second in the North with a 3-5 mark. Cornell's four wins over the weekend helped it take possession of first-place in the South division, also with a 7-1 mark. Princeton's three wins helped the Tigers stay within two games of the Big Red at 5-3. Also at 5-3, Penn is tied for second in the south with Princeton.
Beginning this Saturday, the teams will play each of their divisional foes in four-game series over the next three weekends as they try to claim one of the two berths in the Ivy League Championship Series by winning either the North or South Division.
Harvard sophomore Kasey Lange (Ladera Ranch, Calif.) helped Harvard to a weekend sweep of Columbia and Penn to grab the outright lead in the Ivy North standings at 7-1 on the year. Lange extended her current hitting streak to nine games with hits in five games last week, as the Crimson also dropped a one run game at Providence in which Lange launched a homer. She went 3-for-3 with a double and an RBI against Columbia in Game 1 and she finished the weekend with a 2-for-2 showing against Penn.
Lange played error-free third base, recording six putouts and three assists. She batted .615 for the week, while slugging .923 and adding three RBI and five runs. Lange has now earned Ivy Player of the Week honors twice this season (March 6) and four times in her career (April 19 and May 3 of 2011).
Lange's Weekly
5GP, 13 AB, 5 R, 8 H, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 2 BB, 0 K, 1 SB, .615 Avg., .688 OBP, .923 Slg.%
Princeton junior Liza Kuhn (Middletown, N.J.) helped lead the Tigers back into the South Division title race last week as she posted a 2-1 record and a 1.70 ERA in three starts. She went the distance in all three starts, including an extra innings affair at Brown on April 7 that the Bears ultimately won in the 11th inning, 2-1.
Kuhn opened her week with a complete game shutout of Seton Hall. Then against Yale she posted a career-high 13 strikeouts en route to the win (her second 10+ K game of her season/career - Colorado Sate 3/17). For the week, Kuhn had 28 strikeouts. Kuhn becomes the first Tiger to earn Ivy League Pitcher of the Week honors since Alex Peyton did so on April 12, 2011.
Kuhn's Weekly
1.70 ERA, 2-1, 3 App., 3 GS, 3 CG, 24.2 IP, 17 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 11 BB, 28 K
Cornell freshman outfielder Linda Laeufer (Pickerington, Ohio) hit .435 with five doubles, a home run, five RBI and six runs scored in helping the Big Red to a 4-2 week, including doubleheader road sweeps of Ivy foes Brown and Yale. In the four Ivy contests, Laeufer hit .563 (9-for-16) with a home run and all five doubles, including three multi-hit games. She slammed a solo home run in the seventh as part of a five-run, seventh-inning rally in an 8-6 win at Yale, then went 4-for-5 with a double and three RBI in the nightcap. The day before, she was 3-for-7 with three doubles in a sweep of Brown.
Laeufer also walked three times during the week to post a .500 on-base percentage along with her hefty .783 slugging percentage. Laeufer was perfect in four fielding chances in the outfield and is the first Big Red player to earn a Weekly Ivy League award this season.

Thompson's slugging percentage of .884 is 12th in the nation and she ranks sixth in on base percentage with a .577 mark.

Columbia sophomore infielder Emily Snodgrass ranks tied for 13th in the nation with a 0.34 doubles per game mark.

A New Home
Dartmouth Athletic Director Harry Sheehy along with head softball coach Rachel Hanson announced that the Dartmouth Softball Park, an on-campus facility, would play host to the team's home opener on Friday, April 6, which turned out to be a 1-0 win over Penn.
The $3.1 million project includes wrap around seating for 400
fans, sunken dugouts, bullpens, batting cages, press box,
scoreboard and an artificial FieldTurf playing surface with
superior drainage capacity. The team will use a locker room,
training room and public restrooms that are already located within
the Chase Field Complex. The new Dartmouth Softball Park will also
have the capability to live stream all home softball games.
Ivy Title Talk
Dating back to 1980, the first season of Ivy League softball play, six Ivy teams have combined for 35 titles in the 32 seasons of play. Yale won the inaugural title in 1980, while Princeton leads the League with 17 titles. Cornell, Brown and Harvard each have five titles, followed by Yale (2) and Penn (1). In 2010, Cornell prevailed in Game 3 of the Championship Series over Harvard, 3-2, for its second title in as many seasons, before Harvard halted that streak by sweeping the Big Red in 2011.
The softball championship series, which pits the regular season champions of the North and South Divisions against each other, began in 2007. That season, Harvard defeated Penn in consecutive games to win the first Ivy League Championship Series. The Cimson have represented the North in four of the five League Championships series (all but 2009 when Dartmouth won the North Divison).

The 17-Ivy Win Plateau
Since the Ivy schedule format change in 2007, a team has finished with 17 or more League wins five times and won its division on each of those five occasions. In 2008, Princeton set the record with an 18-2 mark en route to claiming the South Division title. In 2009, Cornell became the second team to crack the 17-Ivy win plateau with a 17-3 record to take the South Division. Then in 2010, both the North (Harvard) and South (Cornell) Division winners reached 17-wins. In 2011, Harvard tied for the most League wins all-time at 18-2 while becoming the fifth squad to win at least 17 Ivy games and win its division.
