The clan that can

Keep it in the family: David, left, and Stephen Page. Photo: Quentin Jones
Bangarra brothers David and Stephen have created a show in honour of their sibling Russell, writes Catherine Keenan.
When the 12 Page kids were growing up in their four-bedroom housing commission home in the Brisbane suburb of Mount Gravatt, dad worked in construction and, when she could, mum worked in a pineapple canning factory.
Sometimes there wasn't enough money for shoes and there was never enough to go out, so the kids made their own fun by staging the Olympics in their backyard ("I wanna be USA!") or putting on shows on the laundry roof. They'd call in the neighbours to watch David sing into a mop, Stephen play a slab of wood painted to look like a keyboard and Russell, the youngest, play guitar on a straw broom. The boys were natural performers, but even so it's unlikely anyone watching them imagined how far they would go.
The three boys became stars of the arts world, forging the backbone of Bangarra Dance Theatre, creating sections of the Atlanta Olympics flag handover ceremony and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Sydney Games. This year, Stephen directed the Adelaide Arts Festival.
Russell was the muse and dancer, David the composer and actor; Stephen started out dancing then became a choreographer and impresario. "It's been like an extension of our upbringing," Stephen says. As if everyone moves from the laundry roof to the Sydney Opera House.
It's an inspirational story, but one with tragedies along the way. David was a twin whose brother died in utero. Their older brother, Phillip, died at 25 having an epileptic fit, as Stephen looked on. Two years ago, after the closing night party for another successful Bangarra show, Russell hanged himself from playground equipment. The boy born to dance killed himself at 34, leaving behind three young children. The clan was blindsided by grief.
Stephen buckled for a time and found himself in hospital for four weeks with pneumonia, but now he and David are honouring their brother with Page 8, a one-man show about David and the rest of the Page family, directed by Stephen and performed by David (he's the eighth sibling, hence Page 8).
"David laughed at me when I first said it," Stephen says. "And was still laughing three months later." He came round when Stephen convinced him that telling his own story would be a way of telling the family's story, too. "That's why I felt comfortable doing it because it wasn't about me," David says. "It's about this family entity."
When I arrive at rehearsals, I wonder if David regrets his decision. Not long after he and playwright Louis Nowra had finished scripting the play - David told stories, Nowra gave them structure - David went into rehearsals with Stephen and promptly came down with pneumonia. He ended up in hospital for five days and they worried the show might not go ahead. But he recovered, more or less, and now he's back in the dingy rehearsal hall, with huge heaters trying to keep him warm.
David usually works out of the spotlight, composing the music that Bangarra dances to, a mix of traditional Aboriginal music and modern. He's slighter than his brother and, as they talk through some technical points, he looks bereft, surrounded by used tissues and occasionally racked by a rasping cough. But he comes alive when he gets up to act, his rubbery face flush with the thrill of performing. "If I don't perform, I'm a pain in the arse. Ask my partner. He's really pleased I'm performing."
Says Stephen: "It's funny because Russell was the main performer and now it's like David's taken over. So Russy would be going, 'You bitch! Taking over!'"
There were six boys and six girls in the Page clan and David practises introducing them with old Super-8 footage he took when he was a kid (there are so many that once even he gets their order wrong). His story is distinctive in that he was "kidnapped" by his Aunty Tess as a baby and effectively brought up with two mums, spending half the year with each. Aunty Tess couldn't have children of her own, so she helped raise a number of the Page kids.
When he was just 13, David won a local talent contest, began performing at a hotel and was soon spotted by WEA records. Remarkably for a young Aboriginal boy from a working-class background, he was signed to Atlantic records, home of Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin.
They wanted to turn little Davey Page into Queensland's answer to Michael Jackson - later they changed this to the black Donny Osmond - and, for a while, it looked as though they might. David cut a record, appeared on Countdown and flounced about in white polyester suits and huge platforms. He loved it. Then his voice broke and his career died overnight. He dropped out of school at 15, got a job at Myer and tried to drink enough to block out the fact that he was gay.
Rehearsing such scenes is a curious mix of detailed technical notes and personal reminiscence. Stephen will ask David to move further upstage, then muse aloud on whether the girls in the family had nicknames. They haven't shown the script to the other members of the family yet. "You don't want to give them too much because they'll tell you what to do," says David, grinning. The big test will be when the show goes to Brisbane, after Sydney, and the whole family comes to see it.
David: "I think there's 57 grandchildren."
Stephen: "Great-grandchildren and grandchildren, there's 64. And we've got a lot of cousins. But I think all our energy was just spent looking after our immediate family."
David, 43, and Stephen, 38, are clearly very close and watching them banter and talk about the family, it's impossible not to think of Russell. Stephen, in particular, was very close to him. "Last night I was in my bed laughing because I was talking to him. I tend to talk to him in my mind," Stephen says.
For both brothers, Russell is the third person in the play. Stephen says: "He was the one who always said David should do a one-man show. I'd always muck around and Russell would say, 'Oh, I'd love to be there'."
David: "It's one of the reasons why we're doing it. If he was here, he would be helping anyway. I suppose if he was here, it wouldn't be a one-man show. Oh, he'd be working on it."
"He'd be in it. And he would be in it," David adds, pointing at Stephen.
"I think he'd really love to be part of directing and telling the story," Stephen says. "He'd probably prompt a lot of the stories in a different way than I do."
"He'd be part of it," says David. "He is part of it."

In its first report on the switchover, the BBC described progress as "astonishing", stating it "puts the UK in an enviable position".
But the report to Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell stressed the industry and government must work together if it is to be achieved within the timeframe.
It lists a number issues which need addressing to achieve the switchover.
Digital divide
These include improved marketing and communication of digital to unconverted households, the ease of recording from digital channels and the conversion of secondary TV sets.
To date, digital television is available in more than 54% of homes with a significant contribution from Freeview, the BBC-backed digital service.
Andy Duncan, director of marketing, communications and audiences, said: "The BBC fully recognises that digital switchover has the potential to bring great economic, social and cultural value to Britain.
"By working with like-minded partners we would like to see an additional route to digital access - free-to-air digital satellite - become a viable and attractively simple option."
Consumer choice
Speaking about the report, called Progress Towards Achieving Digital Switchover, Ms Jowell said: "This government is absolutely committed to working with the industry to achieve digital switchover.
"The potential rewards, including more choice for consumers and more space for new services, are too great for us not to be.
"The fact that half of homes in the UK now have access to digital TV shows there is a considerable appetite for the product out there.
"This provides a solid foundation for continuing the drive towards full switchover."

About Me
Follow the white rabbit!
Beyond our ideas of right doing and wrong doing, there is a field. I will meet you real couchsurfers there. But before that let me tell you a little bit about myself...
I graduated from American Culture and Literature department of Istanbul university. I lived and worked in Long Island, New York as a F&B intern for a year then lived and studied Business Management in Melbourne, Australia. Now home sweet home!
Sometimes all I see is signs, all I see is dollar signs. Getting paid to travel...that`s my dream job. Travelling is my drug of choice. And my therapy.
Everyone thinks it, I just say it.
I do not believe in Republican Party or Democrat Party, I just believe in parties...rave parties. I love eating and cooking a lot.
Electronic music drives me crazy. Salvador Dali is a genius.
Dr House and Walter White and Dexter are the best characters created on TV ever and winter is coming.
Baileys, Jagermeister and Midori are my favorite drinks. I am such a 'sweet' girl. I love trying different types of wines from different countries.
I am really good at KARAOKE!
I believe I can fly.
What you call sluts are the women with the morals of a man, in my opinion.
Interrail in 2010, I traveled almost all of Europe. Most of the time I am very talkative but sometimes I like to be silent and observe people and I love the sound people make when they shut up.
Nothing's wrong if it feels good.
To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.
Everybody lies and truth is overrated.
The secret of being happy is a good sense of humor & a dirty mind. I am fucking overjoyed.

To forge the metallic patch on the bills, Mr. Weber found a supplier in New Jersey who sold foil that looked similar, which he stencilled onto each note. When police finally caught up to him at his rented cottage near Windsor in July, 2001, four HP DeskJet printers were in the middle of spitting out $233,000 worth of hundred dollar bills, three per page. The paper fluttered in the air as officers wrestled Mr. Weber to the floor. All told, police believe he produced more than $6-million in fake $100 bills that made it into circulation.
By the time of his arrest, Canada had 129 counterfeit banknotes for every one million legitimate bills in circulation, and the trend was not slowing. A Bank of Canada survey in 2002 found that 10 per cent of retailers were no longer accepting the $100 bill, to shield themselves from losses.
Mr. Weber represented a new problem for the Bank of Canada: the computer-savvy do-it-yourself counterfeiter. He proved that with enough ingenuity, millions of dollars could be printed illegally by only a few people working on equipment bought at Office Depot.
The year Mr. Weber was arrested, Canada introduced a new design for its money, known as the Canadian Journey series. The banknotes were again said to be the most advanced yet – and the most resistant to counterfeiting.
The bills, which depict scenes of Canadian culture such as hockey and Inuit carvings and are the ones widely circulated today, ushered in new security features aimed at beating the counterfeiters. Most noticeable is a shiny holographic stripe down one side of the bill that shimmers in the light. Less apparent is a ghostly image of the Queen or prime minister featured on the bill, which is watermarked into the paper. Hold the note up to the light, and the hidden face becomes visible.
In spite of these measures, Canada's counterfeit numbers continued to climb. Currency designers had been working fast to create the new series, but technology was moving faster. Counterfeiters were able to get newer and better computers and printers. And there was no shortage of incentive.
The production and distribution of fake money works a lot like illegal drugs: A producer like Mr. Weber makes millions of forged bills and sells them at a wholesale rate to a distributor to put distance between himself and the laundering process.
A good counterfeit note will usually be sold in bulk at about 20 or 30 cents on the dollar. The buyer will then break it up into smaller parcels, and sell those for 40 cents on the dollar to runners, who will flip those bundles for 50 cents on the dollar. At that point the money reaches the last person in the chain, who will attempt to launder it by passing the banknotes at a store, usually in a hurried transaction, much like the two men in the Hyundai outside Ottawa were doing.
For counterfeiters, perhaps the biggest upside of fake cash is that the asset can be unloaded fast, unlike stolen goods. Paper money is the most liquid asset there is.
The Canadian Journey series turned out to be forged in even greater numbers than the Birds of Canada series it had replaced.
By the time the grey Hyundai was pulled over with a stack of fake Canadian Journey notes inside – complete with replica watermark and holographic strip – Canada's counterfeit rate had ballooned to 470 PPM. That year alone, 552,692 forged banknotes were passed, a record number. Canada's PPM level was as much as 100 times the ratio of some G20 countries.
Though most countries don't make their PPM numbers public, a document released by the U.S. Secret Service in 2005 disclosed that the United States, which spends billions of dollars to fight counterfeiting each year, had a PPM rating of just 6.5 (albeit the U.S. figure is based on 28 billion notes in circulation). Even Mexico, which has battled serious counterfeiting problems of its own, was lower than Canada at 83 PPM.Report Typo/Error

My research seeks to understand how to improve
government services in fragile states. I focus in particular on rural
settings, where the majority of the world's population live and where
government services suffer from low employee effort. In my job market paper, I
show that cost-effective, self-sustaining, and scalable crowd-sourcing
technology can be harnessed to improve government performance in Pakistan and
subsequently the welfare of rural Pakistanis. I am also interested in how
personality traits of government employees matter for efforts to improve
government services through increased transparency, as well as how governments
decide where to offer services in the first place. My research makes use of
large-scale field experiments that leverage cellular technology, as well as
natural experiments using historical archival data. Much of my work focuses on
Pakistan. I also have active projects in Uganda and the Philippines.

This may shock – I know I was shocked – but Justin Bieber"s new album has overtaken the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. His "Never Say Never: The Remixes" set arrives with 161,000 copies. His last "My World 2.0" took the summit in April last year, with 283,000 in its first week. Sales this week were aided by the movie "Never Say Never"s" release two weeks ago, of course, but also the teenaged heartthrob"s appearance at the Grammy Awards on Feb. 13.
This makes it four top 10 albums for The Bieb. And this marks the first remix set to top the list since Jennifer Lopez"s "J to tha L-O! The Remixes" (lol) took the top in 2002.
Mumford & Sons – among other Grammy performers – also experience a serious uptick this week, with "Sigh No More" sticking to No. 2 but selling 133,000 copies – a 169% sales increase. The set also was sold via Amazon"s MP3 store for $5.99.
The "Now 37" compilation falls No. 1 to No. 3 with 95,000 (-37%).
Big award winner Lady Antebellum"s "Need You Now" re-enters the top tier No. 17 to No. 4 (85,000, 205%) while Bruno Mars" "Doo-Wops & Hooligans" moves No. 6 to No. 5 (61,000, +55%). Eminem"s "Recovery" ascends No. 7 to No. 6 (61,000, +60%), the "2011 Grammy Nominees" set climbs No. 11 to No. 7 (56,000, +67%) and "My World 2.0" slips No. 3 to No. 8 (54,000, +13%).
Nicki Minaj"s "Pink Friday" falls No. 4 to No. 9 (46,000, -2%) and Rihanna"s "Loud" descends No. 8 to No. 10 (45,000, +13%).
Where is Album of the Year award winner Arcade Fire"s "The Suburbs?" It rebounds No. 52 to No. 12 (41,000, +238%).
Album sales this week are up 12% over last week, and up 10% compared to the same week last week.

Considering a Land Rover LR4, but with no free scheduled maintenance, the closest dealer being 40 minutes away, and with the reliability history on them, I am not so sure about it. So, I guess I will wait.
What about Porsche. Aren't they #1 in reliability? Wait, no third row?
I, too, am thinking about an SUV to add to my driveway. I was thinking about the x5d or x5 35i but I am concerned about the reliability of these new engines. Even my indy says to wait and see. But, I can't wait forever. Can anyone ease my mind? I have read many positive reviews regarding the 2010 models but most of them are for the diesel version.

FocalBlade Version 1.04 released by Plugin Site
FocalBlade Version 1.04 released by The Plugin Site :
The Plugin Site released Version 1.04 of FocalBlade, a Photoshop-compatible plugin for sharpening your photos for screen display and printing as well as for producing great looking blur, soft focus and glow effects on 8bit and 16bit images. FocalBlade lets you sharpen photos without amplifying noise or artifacts and produces impressive sharpening results even on low quality images. FocalBlade is the second product in our new PhotoWiz product line, which sets a new standard for photo correction tools. It can be used with a wide range of graphics applications, e.g. Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Photo-Paint, PhotoImpact and Fireworks.
FocalBlade - New of Version 1.04
FocalBlade 1.04 displays selections from your graphics application in the preview, which is a great help for selective sharpening tasks. It also reacts to user actions immediately now. You don't have to wait anymore until the preview is rendered before you can readjust a setting or drag the preview. This new feature will be especially helpful on slow computers or for people who quickly want to change a lot of settings. We have also added two new presets that show how to use FocalBlade for noise reduction.
FocalBlade Version 1.04 - Other features
Other new features include a preset context menu that appears by right clicking the Open Preset folder and using the mouse wheel to operate sliders. Dragging the FocalBlade window is now only possible with the title bar to avoid that misplaced slider clicks move the window. The FocalBlade setup now includes the Plugin Installer tool for copying the FocalBlade plugin to the plugin paths of 25 graphics applications. A lot of bug fixes have been added to FocalBlade version 1.04 as well.
FocalBlade Version 1.04 - Overview
FocalBlade features a range of automatic, semiautomatic and manual tools for sharpening photos. It is very easy to use as it offers interactive explanations for each feature, incorporates modes for various tasks (including a Novice Mode) and detailed step-by-step instructions in the manual. FocalBlade lets you sharpen photos quickly and also batch process images in Cloak mode. Moreover, FocalBlade offers numerous options for creating blur, soft focus and glow effects and for deblurring photos that are highly blurred.
FocalBlade Version 1.04 - Sophisticated Algorithms
FocalBlade's sophisticated algorithms sharpen images without ugly side effects and give the user a lot of control of the sharpening process. FocalBlade sharpens edges and surfaces in an image independently thereby allowing you to keep objects (e.g. sky, walls, skin and other even surfaces) soft while the overall photo is still sharpened. Unlike other tools FocalBlade doesn't produce halos at high radius settings and even provides sliders for suppressing the white and black part of halos independently and for reducing the sharpening in the shadows and highlight areas. FocalBlade you can set the pixel size of details that are sharpened. FocalBlade also lets you keep noise constant or even reduce it when sharpening a photo.
FocalBlade Version 1.04 - Plenty of Tools
FocalBlade provides three automatic sharpening options for achieving perfect sharpening results with different classes of photos. With Screen and Print buttons you can make FocalBlade automatically sharpen for screen display or for printing. There is also a semiautomatic sample area feature, which lets the user focus on an important image area and thereby apply the optimal sharpness to this area. Additionally there are several Split View modes that let you compare the original and sharpened version as well as visually perform sharpening with the help of preview stripes that present you with variations of the current settings. The manual controls include independent Sharpen and Radius sliders, a Soften slider, Halo Fix sliders, Highlights/Shadows Fix sliders, several masking options and a glow feature. FocalBlade also offers five different sharpening methods. Opening and saving presets for reusing certain effects is possible.
Version 1.04 - Why FocalBlade is different
Unlike other sharpening tools FocalBlade sharpens photos without damaging them and even achieves impressive sharpening results on low quality images. Many other tools don't offer an automatic sharpening mode, add clearly visible halos, increase noise, remove the photographic quality of photos, damage edges, use imprecise sharpening algorithms, need a lot of experimenting to achieve a good result or are overpriced. FocalBlade doesn't have these flaws. It is flexible as well as very easy to use, saves you precious time when sharpening photos and is available at an affordable price.
Availability & System Requirements
FocalBlade is currently only available for Windows, but a Macintosh version is planned. FocalBlade sells at $49.95 (Download) or $59.95 (CD Version including postage). There is an Academic/Student License for $29.95. It can be purchased at the website of The Plugin Site. There is also a demo version available.

Breaking down the WPIAL baseball playoffs
Breaking down the WPIAL baseball playoffs
DEFENDING CHAMPION Seneca Valley
THE FAVORITE Seneca Valley (16-3), the two-time defending champion, used 15 straight wins to establish itself as the team to beat. CF Jonathan Dorogy, 2B Sam Fragale and C Brad Gresock also started the past two title runs. Carson Kessler is hitting .474 and Zach Spangler is batting .425 this season for the Raiders.
THE CONTENDERS A one-run loss to Seneca Valley was the only blemish for North Allegheny (16-4) during its final 13 games. Section 2 champion Hempfield (17-3), led by pitchers Greg Martin and Zack Martinelli, enters the playoffs having beaten three other section winners — Central Catholic (16-4), Pine-Richland (15-4) and Canon-McMillan (11-7) — in the past two weeks. Central Catholic won Section 3 behind senior 3B P.J. DeMeo, a Pitt recruit. Pine-Richland, the 2010 champion, shared the Section 4 title with Shaler (11-9).
DON'T OVERLOOK Franklin Regional (16-3) has won eight consecutive, including wins over Central Catholic, 17-16, and Plum, 2-0.
PREDICTION Seneca Valley over North Allegheny
DEFENDING CHAMPION Blackhawk
THE FAVORITE South Park (20-0) could become the third undefeated Class AAA champion in the past seven seasons, joining Elizabeth Forward (21-0 in 2011) and West Allegheny (23-0 in 2007). The Eagles have seven players batting better than .350, including Nick Yobbi (.525), who along with Jake Bywalski are leading pitchers.
THE CONTENDERS Led by SS Ryan Cox, a St. Bonaventure recruit, Hopewell (17-3) could win a second title in four years. Hampton (17-2) was undefeated in Section 5, and its only WPIAL loss was to Class AAAA Seneca Valley, 1-0, on April 22. After a 12-1 start, Chartiers Valley (16-4) lost three of its final seven to share the Section 3 title with Keystone Oaks (14-4).
DON'T OVERLOOK Blackhawk (9-6), the 2012 champion, has junior lefty Brendan McKay, who creates a tough matchup.
PREDICTION Hampton over South Park
DEFENDING CHAMPION Ellwood City
THE FAVORITE Riverside (15-3), the two-time defending state champion, could reach the WPIAL title game for the third straight season, led by seniors Tyler Falk, Dylan Jones and Blaise McCarty. Riverside was WPIAL runner-up to rival Ellwood City last year.
THE CONTENDERS Led by Radford pitching recruit Austin Ross, Beaver (13-3) beat Riverside twice in Section 5 play, where both finished with 12-2 records. Beaver lost twice to section foe Neshannock (12-6), the WPIAL Class A champion in 2011 and 2012, which missed this year's playoffs. Quaker Valley (17-0), the Section 1 winner, was one of only two undefeated teams in the WPIAL. Deer Lakes (15-3), undefeated in Section 3, lost to Riverside in the 2012 quarterfinals. The Lancers won 14 of 15 down the stretch.
DON'T OVERLOOK Laurel (9-7) has one of Class AA's top pitchers in Brandon Ritchie, a George Washington recruit. Led by Garrett Brooks (.600), 12th seed Greensburg Central Catholic (11-4) has won five straight games and nine of its last 10.

DEFENDING CHAMPION Neshannock
THE FAVORITE Serra Catholic (16-1), the WPIAL champion in 2009 and '10, lost only once this season, to Class AAA's Elizabeth Forward. Serra Catholic has been the top seed in the tournament three of the past four seasons, but in 2012, the team was seeded fifth and lost to OLSH in the second round — the team's earliest exit since a first-round loss to Geibel in 2006.
THE CONTENDERS Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (16-2) has won 15 straight, led by Preston Falascino, a Slippery Rock recruit who's batting .540. The Chargers reached last year's semifinals. Riverview (14-2), led by Akron recruit Anthony Malky, shared the Section 4 title with North Catholic (10-4). Malky was the WPIAL's strikeout leader. Western Beaver (14-2) was undefeated in Section 3 at 12-0, led by junior Nick Miller. Carmichaels (12-3) won Section 1 but ended the regular season with a loss to California.
DON'T OVERLOOK California (15-4) was runner-up to Neshannock in last year's title game.

Items by Dave Skinner
Dave Skinner wants Yellowstone to get a handle on its "toxic bison" before they infect more elk with brucellosis, which can then get passed on to cattle.
Dave Skinner says give Western governors -- and local people -- more power to determine what should be roadless on our national forests.
Off-road vehicle users need to be responsible, but at the same time they should fight against any restrictions to backcountry riding
The writer says ATVs belong in the backcountry, and we should all help riders fight for their rights
Dave Skinner says the Bush administration has the right to reject "fake" wilderness and dispose of the issue its way.
Ray Ring's Wrong
The author defends Yellowstone's snowmobiles as a boon to local economies and the recreational choice of ordinary Americans.
In his own words, Dave Skinner argues that environmentalists exaggerate the threat from mining and that the industry is making good changes.
A road trip across Wyoming moves the writer to muse about the glories of living in an "unedited" version of the West.

The air crash investigation into the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is likely to be based in Australia, as a black box locator will be loaded onto an Australian navy ship and sent out with the search effort for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
The Malaysian government announced it won't establish an inquiry until the black box - or flight recorder - is found, something that could take years, if it is even discovered at all, amid a push for the wreckage and the black box to be scrutinised in Australia.
The decision created uproar in Malaysia's parliament amid lingering concerns about the nation's investigative effort thus far, which has been characterised by mistakes and miscommunication and enraged some families.
As the focus of the search shifted dramatically on Friday after fresh analysis suggested the plane did not travel as far as first thought, Fairfax Media understands there is a strong belief among Australian officials that Perth is the logical place for the investigation.
It is the closest city to where the plane is believed to have gone into the water, and that this view is being put to authorities in Kuala Lumpur.
Under the arrangement, Malaysian investigators would travel to Australia to carry out any work on the wreckage. Malaysia would still lead the investigation but would be assisted by counterparts from Australia, Britain and the US.
International conventions covering aviation accidents require the country of origin of the aircraft to launch an investigation and secure the wreckage - in this case Malaysia.
But Australia has the facilities in Canberra to download the data from the black box flight recorder. In the region, Singapore, Indonesia and Japan have this capability, but it is understood that Malaysia does not.
Indeed, Australian Transport Safety Bureau Chief Commissioner Martin Dolan stressed on Friday that any wreckage recovered needed initially to be brought to Australia.
Mr Dolan told reporters: ''Any wreckage that is obtained, we will hold on behalf of the Malaysian investigation team and await their instructions. We're in continual discussion with the Malaysians about progress on the search and we will continue to discuss with them the handling of the wreckage as and when it comes to hand.''
Mr Dolan said any country that picks up wreckage would have to hand it over to Australian authorities, which are being led by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. Australian authorities have expressed willingness to reassemble the wreckage.
The new search zone is well away from debris picked up by a variety of satellites.
It is understood that a diplomatic note has been circulated to all countries involved in the search reminding them that all wreckage recovered should be brought to Australia, a directive apparently aimed at the Chinese.
As of Friday, HMAS Success was the only Royal Australian Navy ship in the search area, along with five Chinese naval ships.
The new focus of the search - now 1100 kilometres north-east of the previous search zone and 1850 kilometres due west of Perth - was based on Australian analysis of radar and satellite data, cross-checked against information about MH370's performance capability.
The new search area was mapped out on Friday after data indicated the aircraft was travelling faster than previously estimated, meaning it would have burnt fuel more quickly and crashed earlier. The 10 aircraft and six ships deployed in the search were re-directed to the new search area, and the Australian Geospatial-Intelligence Organisation is re-tasking satellites to image the new area, AMSA's John Young said.
The new search zone is well away from debris picked up by a variety of satellites - US, Chinese, French, Thai and Japanese - that underpinned a fruitless search for more than a week.
Indeed, Mr Young said that the satellite images were almost certainly not debris from the plane, and perhaps not even debris at all.
Three weeks into the disappearance of the plane, the markedly different search zone will likely further anger families waiting for news. However, Mr Young said such changes were typical of these operations. ''I don't count the original work a waste of time,'' he said.
At 319,000 square kilometres, the new search area is four times larger than Thursday's zone. But, being further north, the weather should be a lot calmer than the "roaring 40s" of the deep southern Indian Ocean where efforts had been concentrated.
The plane's flight recorder - which will contain the last two hours of cockpit conversation plus a welter of flight data - is the key to solving the puzzle of its disappearance. A towed pinger locator is expected to be deployed this weekend to find the black box, which is thought to have barely a week left of batteries to power its beacon.
The announcement by Malaysian authorities that they would not start the inquiry without the black box prompted angry debate in Malaysia's parliament as opposition MPs demanded the formation of a royal commission or setting up of a select parliamentary committee.
A group of about 20 Chinese relatives of passengers who have been staying in Kuala Lumpur have called for the setting up of an inquiry by China.
They have handed a petition to China's special envoy Zhang Yesui urging the Chinese government to "investigate the truth" behind what happened to their loved ones.
The petition also demanded that Malaysia apologise to relatives.
Shahidan Kassim, a minister in Malaysia's prime minister's department, said the timing of establishing an inquiry was seriously considered by the government.
But he said locating the black box is of the "upmost importance" as the government is aware of negative foreign media reports against Malaysia.
Malaysia says analysis of satellite data shows the plane must have crashed into the far reaches of the Indian Ocean on March 8.

Beijing (AFP) Jan 20, 2014
China's working-age population continued to decline last year, the government said Monday, as Beijing grapples with a demographic time bomb that is one of its biggest challenges.
The country introduced its controversial one-child policy in the late 1970s to control population growth, but its people are now ageing -- and increasingly male -- government statistics show.
The world's biggest national population rose by 6.7 million in 2013 to 1.361 billion, excluding Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, the National Bureau of Statistics said.
Almost 118 boys were born for every 100 girls.
The working-age population -- defined as those from 15 to 59 -- fell by 2.44 million to 920 million, adding to concerns about how the country will provide for the elderly with 202 million people now aged 60 or over.
2012 witnessed the first absolute drop in the working-age segment in "a considerable period of time", officials said last year, adding that the fall was expected to continue through to 2030.
As late as 1982, the proportion of the population aged 60 or over in China was just five percent but it now stands at 14.9 percent.
China also released a key inequality statistic for 2013 on Monday. It had changed slightly from 2012, which was the first year since 2000 that Beijing had released the sensitive figure.
The Gini coefficient is a commonly used measure of income inequality, with a figure of 0 representing perfect equality and 1 total inequality. Some academics view 0.40 as a warning line.
The figure peaked at 0.491 in 2008 before falling to 0.473 in 2013, a slight decrease from 0.474 in 2012.
China's wealth gap and population imbalances are major concerns for the ruling Communist Party, which places huge importance on preserving social stability to avoid any challenge to its grasp on power.

Furnished with a riot of kitsch Indian fittings and fixtures, this neighbourhood community restaurant is anything but subtle in looks. Expansive painted murals depict Gujarati village life, with bunches of plastic flowers, velveteen seating arrangements, bamboo tables and weighty statues filling any gaps. Never mind. The kitchen produces first-rate, sensitively spiced vegetarian Gujarati dishes. We chose the affordable Gujarati thali for a taster of regional staples, and marvelled at the delicacy of broth-like kadhi, made with roasted gram flour and tart yoghurt, spiced with cloves and fried fennel seeds – perfect with fluffy basmati rice. A simple smooth-textured Gujarati dal, sweetened with jaggery and sharpened with tamarind, made a good match with thepla (soft chapati-like breads). Classic touches include farsan (snacks) – perhaps balls of fried crushed potato dumplings flecked with aromatic curry leaves – served alongside main dishes. Staff were utterly charming. Portions are generous and unlimited refills a bonus. Drink like a local and order churned buttermilk (chaas) with the meal – it's a marvellous digestif.

What a waste of a night, went here in Jul 2011 and was ok. Gave all our food at the same time, wrong food came including tomato soup?!?!?! Ridiculous service, people seating themselves, waiting for menu, drinks.......60 quid waste!!
Very dissappointed with this restaurant. We went on a busy Saturday night. The welcome was good but there seemed to be too many waiters standing around with little to do and yet despite this we were not given menus until after we requested them some 10 minutes later. Most of our party ordered the thali whilst a couple ordered other items off the menu. Given that the thali is one of the more popular choices on the menu it was very surprising that not all the items on the thali were freshly prepared. The roti and thepla were clearly made a few days earlier and were cold. The sweet - mohantar - was very dry and appeared to be a couple of weeks old. The general service was very slow with the thali items not being replenished for long periods of time.

Women forgotten about, says Labor
Page Tools
Nine out of 10 women do not earn enough to get the tax cuts announced in the budget, the Opposition said yesterday, condemning the Government's failure to issue a women's budget statement, the first time in 20 years this had happened.
Kay Patterson, the minister assisting the Prime Minister on the status of women, will instead put out a booklet outlining "all the Government's achievements in the area", her spokeswoman said.
But Senator Patterson's Opposition counterpart, Nicola Roxon, said it "shows that women have just been forgotten".
Labor released its own women's budget statement promising to increase job security, flexibility and pay, combat violence against women, reverse HECS increases, and boost the Medicare rebate.
"The Treasurer's call on young women to 'go forth and multiply' is not matched by any relief on their HECS debt or any real workplace reforms to make it easier for them to meet work and family commitments," the statement said.
Ms Roxon said: "Labor doesn't believe women are here only to have babies. We actually also believe that women work, they study, they form relationships, they are concerned about their health care needs, they care for their parents, and they look after their disabled children."

Market Vectors Solar Energy ETF (KWT) -0.6% While major stock market averages managed to find some footing this week, it has been stop and go for the solar sector.

While a strong showing may help to reinvigorate this corner of the alternative energy industry, I advise investors to stick to the sidelines.

MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. - A Suncoast man faces charges for reporting a crime that never happened.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office says that 26-year-old Broderick Furlow called a national hotline to say that he had abducted a 9-year-old girl and dumped her body.
He didn't say who or where he was, but detectives say they traced the phone he used. When they talked to him Friday, he admitted that the kidnapping never happened. It was a prank.
Furlow faces a charge of Filing a False Report.

Micah Morel steps up for Boxers
Versatility key for QB
Credit: Matt Stone
The importance of having a truly versatile athlete on the roster has never been more evident than it is now in Brockton.
Last Friday night, Boxers quarterback Austin Roberts suffered three minor vertebrae fractures following a 5-yard touchdown run against St. John's Prep.
As Roberts was helped off the field and into an ambulance, fellow senior captain Micah Morel began wondering who would be the guy to take his place when suddenly, the realization hit him.

French Politician Returned To Work Five Days After C-Section
French Justice Minister Rachida Dati returned to work just five days after giving birth to her first child via C-section. This may seem like a commendable feat to some, but this is sending a rather scary message to moms and working women, in general: You must be a "Super Indestructible Mom." Dati's return to work is another example of a message to working mothers that dictates how to act and look after giving birth. Similar to Dati, Sarah Palin, a role model to many working mothers, returned to work just three days after giving birth to her fifth child. We have a tendency to celebrate celebrity moms that return to their svelte and sexy pre-pregnancy shape. And we cheer on those celeb moms that haven't lost their baby weight, but are obviously trying.
It's unfair to expect all working moms to act as if nothing has changed and to be able or want to return to work after giving birth. I've never given birth, but I have had a surgery similar to a C-section. And the last thing I wanted to do days after was work because it was so painful to just move. Someone had to help me lie down and sit-up. And showering could not be done in a quick five minutes.
So I can't imagine how Dati was able to return to work full-time, while wearing heels and looking gorgeous. Not only that, but I'd think Dati would want to bond with her daughter, who was only five days old. Mothers and fathers, for that matter, shouldn't have to feel ashamed for spending time with their newborns. They should be given an appropriate amount of leave without having to worry about productivity at work.
In this age of the internet, more and more industries are finding ways to allow employees to work from home. Maternity leave is a great example of how this could work.
To be fair to Dati, there have been rumors that French president Nicolas Sarkozy bullied her into an immediate return. But we can't be sure. Maybe she prefers an office to a nursery. Or maybe she's just trying to save her job. [Parentdish]

Who decides to pull the plug for people in comas?
Answers: If the person is a minor then the one who decides is the parent or gaurdian. If they are married then the spouse decides. If they are older than 18 and unmarried, but have written a living will, what they decided in that document is what happens. If the person has no family or significant other or living will, doctors will decide when to do so. The time they choose in this case will depend on if life saving measures have been deemed futile and if the person has designated themselves and organ donor.
Their legal next of kin
It's morally the parent's choice
"next of kin"
spouse outranks kids
it works out well if people select someone they trust to make decisions for them should they become incapacitated beforehand, a good thing to set up while still healthy, and make sure that person knows your wishes - hospitals, social workers, & lawyers have papers to set it up - works better than living will which just states exactly what to do in a very limited & rigidly defined set of circumstances, because that still ends up leaving big questions to whoever is "next of kin" regardless of who the person in the coma would prefer to make those decisions
It depends. If there is a medical power of attorney for say the husband then he decides. If there is no family the hospital decided. In other cases mom and dad may decide.
The person who holds a MEDICAL POWER OF ATTORNEY !
Spouses, kids, parents and/or next-of-kin, depending on situation.
The family member...if it is a minor, then the mother...spouses or predetermined powers of attorney have the right to do it.
Whoever has power of attorney for medical purposes. And if there isnt one, the family members have to decide what to do.
Many people believe it is the family. Truth of the matter is, bottom line, the insurance companies; particularly HMO plans.
If we are wise, we will let our loved ones know what we desire in a living will. Everyone should have one, I do. Contact any hospital for the forms.
I do
The next of kin or the person that is delegated in a living will.
The immediate family members.
If the patient has an advance directive (a document stating orders for what the medical team in the event the individual should fall into a coma or similar state with no hope of ever recovering), then the medical team does it legally. Usually the family members do it otherwise. But there have also been documented cases of nurses and doctors performing "mercy killings" and doing it against the family's wishes when it's obvious the patient will never recover.
The next of kin. Hopefully, the person in the coma has filled out a living will. Everyone should. It can state that if you are ever in that situation you do not wish to be on life support. So many people don't have one and then you end up like Terri Schiavo.

Informational Interview Tips
Why should I conduct an information interview?
- Opportunity to gather first-hand information (research) about career fields you are considering and expand your network of professional contacts.
- You will receive frank advice about a profession or industry and subtle signals about work environments that you will never read in a book.
- Get valuable information about what the job entails. However, this interview is not about obtaining a job; the point is to learn something.
What are the steps I should take?
Locate Someone to Interview
Use alumni, family, friends, professors and advisors, professional organizations, the numerous job and internship databases available in Career Development. Get correct spelling and pronunciation of contact's name and be sure of contact's job title and salutation (Dr., Mr., Mrs., etc).
- ** If you are currently interning, you may want to ask your supervisor for permission to conduct an informational interview. After you have started forging your own personal relationships within the organization, you will also acquire a sense of the individuals you would like to interview. **
Call for appointment or write a letter to request an appointment. Be sure to state the reason you are contacting them, how much time you are asking of them (20-30 minutes at most), why you would like to speak with them in particular (your interest in his or her career field), and how you received their contact information. You can also request a telephone interview (if the person does not live nearby) or an observational visit that lasts a few hours or a full day.
Be prepared to adjust your schedule. Suggest lunch, coffee break, etc. (It should be about what is convenient for the interviewee, not you.)
Be sure you have agreed on the date and place of your meeting. A brief note of confirmation can serve as a helpful reminder to you both.
Research and read about the career field before the informational interview.
- Informational Interviews should not be a starting point for your career research - they should supplement what you have already learned. Also research your contact's place of work/company/ organization.
Prepare a list of relevant questions (see Alumni Advice on the Spotlight on Careers pages for examples). Prepare your resume and take a copy with you in case you are asked for it - but be aware that it may be inappropriate to offer it during your meeting.
- NOTE: Let the interviewee determine the formality of the conversation.
Appearance and Arrival
Plan what you will wear and how long it will take you to get there. Arrive 10-15 minutes early. This may give you a little extra interview time.
Thank You
Ask for a business card before you leave and send a short note thanking the person for his/her time. Be prompt about sending the card. Remember, these contacts can continue to serve as resources throughout your career.
Not sure what to ask an interviewee? Stop by Career Development during Quick Question hours or set up an appointment to speak with a Career Advisor.

What would happen, wondered Ariane Daguin, if you took a heritage-breed chicken and fed it scraps from fine restaurants?
Ms. Daguin, the French-born founder and chief executive of D'Artagnan, said feeding chickens scraps from acclaimed restaurants, where the best ingredients are used to create table-to-farm-to-table chickens was not a stunt, but part of a continuing mission to change the world by changing its palates.
The 220 birds, deemed Green Circle chickens, casually stroll around a 15,000-square-foot coop on an Amish farm in Pennsylvania, and are fed vegetable peelings and day-old bread from some of Manhattan's most elegant restaurants, like Per Se, Daniel, Gramercy Tavern, the Modern and David Burke Townhouse.
The New York Times explains that Ms. Daguin's experiment involves elite chefs, organic farming practices and a breed of French poultry that is rarely found in the United States. The goal: to see whether American restaurants can turn back the culinary clock and rediscover "what a chicken should taste like," said Ariane Daguin.
New York diners will get to feast on the results of this experiment when Green Circle chickens start showing up roasted on dinner plates at the same restaurants that helped feed them high quality scraps.
D'Artagnan spent more than $250,000 into research and start-up costs. "Using the expensive hatchlings of a heritage crossbreed, and feeding them for longer than usual, has more than doubled the normal cost of raising chickens."
Michael Anthony at Gramercy Tavern plans to serve a dish with breast and thigh meat from the chicken, as well as sausage fashioned from it, as a $22 lunch item.
Ms. Daguin intends to create separate pens and roaming yards for the chickens that belong to each restaurant group. The Per Se chickens will eat only Per Se peelings and bread; the diet of the Gramercy Tavern chickens will come only from Gramercy Tavern.
"When I tasted it, I was like, 'Whoa,' " said Jean-Georges Vongerichten, who plans to start incorporating the chickens into menus. Witnesses say that after his first bite, Vongerichten was on the verge of tears.
Ms. Daguin recalled moving to Connecticut from France in 1977 and tasting her first bite of mass-produced American chicken. "It was a crime," she said.
Daguin's Experiment Ridiculed
Still, a few raised eyebrows are to be expected, writes Jeff Gordinier with The New York Times. "The image of chickens gorging on four-star ingredients can seem a rather operatic manifestation of today's obsessions over food."
Since when are vegetable peelings and day-old bread, the same scraps used to feed chickens on small farms since farming began, four-star ingredients?
Gordinier later adds that instead of dining on stale loaves from grandmother's breadbox, these chickens are eating from pans of bread soaked in fresh milk, and white buckets full of leafy trimmings.
There's still nothing four-star about milk and lettuce.
It's truly sad to think some people are so out of touch with modest local organic food production they consider vegetable peelings, lettuce and day-old bread gourmet ingredients. The assumption is only apropos when compared to the GMO, chemically infused chicken feed used on factory farms.
Matthew Mills, a creator of "Fodder," a satirical online show from the Cooking Channel commented that such enthusiastic reactions are over-the-top. "…it's almost an Onion headline."
Restaurant consultant Clark Wolf agreed. "On one side, it sounds kind of wonderful and magical, and on the other side it sounds like the biggest stunt I've ever heard," he said. "I mean, you know — let them eat zucchini?"
Apparently reveling in the explosive difference in the rich and superior taste of chickens organically grown compared to the bland and insipid factory farm birds, pumped full of antibiotics, arsenic and hormones, warrants ridicule and suspicion from the likes of Mills and Clark.

Peter Robinson (Canadian politician)
Peter Robinson (1785 – July 8, 1838) was born in New Brunswick, the eldest son of Christopher Robinson (an officer of the Queen's Rangers) and Esther Sayre. He had two brothers, John Beverley and William Benjamin, and two sisters.
The family settled first at Kingston, Ontario, in 1792 and then York, Upper Canada, (now Toronto) in 1798. Peter fought during the War of 1812, where he commanded a rifle company at the capture of Detroit. In 1813 he distinguished himself in the defence of Fort Michilimackinac. After the war, he operated as a fur trader and established a number of businesses in the Lake Simcoe area.
By 1817 he had been elected to represent the east riding of York in the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada. Starting in 1823 through to 1825 he administered the passage and settlement of over 2500 poor Catholic families mostly from County Cork, Ireland to settle in the hinterlands of Lanark County, Carleton County (today Ottawa) and Scott's Plains. Scott's Plains was renamed Peterborough in his honour. In 1827 he was appointed Commissioner of Crown Lands and he had a seat in both the Legislative and Executive councils. In 1836 he resigned, with the rest of the Executive Council, from his responsibilities on the Council to protest the council's treatment by Lieutenant Governor Sir. Francis Bond Head. He died in Toronto in 1838 and was survived by two of his three children, Isabella and Frederick.

Errantry: Strange Stories (edition 2012)
by Elizabeth Hand
Work details
Errantry: Strange Stories by Elizabeth Hand
No current Talk conversations about this book.
The best of these stories are able to hint at horror and fantastical elements without ever making it wholly explicit: you're never sure if maybe the horror you feel creeping up has as much to do with the narrators as it does the experiences they are narrating. "Near Zennor" is a masterpiece of ambiguity, and probably my favorite story in the book. The one I liked least was "The Return of the Fire Witch": engaging with explicitly fantastical tropes removes the feeling of the uncanny that Hand works with so well. It ends up feeling like "The Masque of the Red Death" performed by Adventure Time characters. But the good definitely outweighs the bad in this collection, and I look forward to lending this volume to my friends.
Lovely prose. The least successful of the stories was the Vancean pastiche, but it was kind of fun anyway. Nobody evokes scenery and landscape like Elizabeth Hand.
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.As many other reviewers have mentioned these stories have a strong theme of sadness and regret. It took me longer to work my way through this book because of the not happy theme, and the stories were weird, but I found myself setting the book down for a few days and then picking it back up again to see where the next story would take me.
These stories are, in fact, strange. I picked this book up at the local library from the New Book shelf and because I am participating in the Short Story group on LT. I was glad that I did. It was a rather quick read, but very enjoyable. Not quite Science Fiction, in fact, I think a Science Fiction fan would say not even close, but since I am not very well acquainted with SciFi, I wouldn't really know. The thing is, Elizabeth Hand seems to know a lot about Science and uses that knowledge in this collection. In thinking about it as I write this review, I guess it is more Fantasy than SciFi. Whatever the concoction is, it works. Each story is full of a sense of wonder as the author creates a world that is not quite ordinary, and sometimes quite fantastic. Her descriptions of setting is crucial. When the reader is brought into any setting that takes place in nature, it is there the writing shines. It is evident that Hand is not only familiar with botany but loves the natural world and sees a connection between it and whatever her characters face. In "Near Zennor" the setting plays a huge part in the story, as a man travels through terrain his deceased wife had enjoyed as a child. She and her friends created a fantastical world on the moors near her uncle's farmhouse in England, based on a series of books written by a local author. There, they have a strange, other-worldly experience, and he sets out to see the landscape for himself. Need I say more? Her relationship with nature is never more evident than in "Winter's Wife", the story of a decent country man who brings home a young wife from Iceland. A young boy tells us of Winter, his mother's best friend, a man so well-liked that everybody considered him their friend. His new wife is kind, also, if a bit strange. But we don't find out how strange until the 300 year old trees that Winter loves and can view from the balcony of the new house he is building for his wife, are threatened. A long story, it was one of my favorites. "The Return of The Fire Witch" is the story that makes me think this collection is more fantasy than Science Fiction. This story is unadulterated fantasy, and wonderful in the way that it tells the reader about things completely foreign and unfamiliar but somehow understood in the context of the story. I find Fantasy to be similar to a drawing or painting of vivid colors. As I read Fantasy, I find a colorful and complex picture in my mind. The final story in the collection is the kind of story that leaves you thinking about it long after you are done reading. Try this book. I promise it will not disappoint. A veteran writer, Elizabeth Hand is an author I will continue to seek out for future reading pleasure.
Perhaps because it represents a body of work over a relatively short period of time, there are some clear tonal and thematic similarities on display. With one exception, the stories in Errantry are very much of a piece: low-key tales of the fantastical lurking on the edges of the everyday, of marginal or (self-)marginalized figures .. withdrawing from conventional ways of seeing the world, and experiencing moments of transcendent shock.

/How to conquer fear? With oneness within and oneness without. In oneness-light there can be no fear,/
When I try to meditate, there is something that holds me back.
The thing that holds you back is fear. If you want the wealth which is deep inside you, then you have to dive within bravely. Only if you have inner courage can you receive the inner wealth. Fear of the unknown and the unknowable prevents you from diving deep within. But what is unknowable today becomes merely unknown tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow it becomes known.
The vastness of truth will never harm you. It will only embrace and fulfil you. You feel afraid of something because you do not feel that that particular thing is part of you. But through meditation you establish your conscious oneness with the infinite Vast. At that time you see and feel that everything is part of you. So why should you be afraid?
