A former high-flying senior executive with British Gas will spend his first night in prison after being convicted of two counts of insider trading in the NSW Supreme Court today.
Stuart Alfred Fysh, a former executive vice-president at British Gas (now known as BG Group Plc) was convicted of two counts of insider trading relating to his purchase of Queensland Gas Company shares in December 2007.
The charges were originally brought by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission in relation to the purchase of shares in two companies: Arrow Energy in mid-2007, and Queensland Gas in December 2007.
Fysh was found guilty in November of two charges relating to his purchase of Queensland Gas shares, but he was not found guilty of the two charges regarding his purchase of Arrow shares.
Fysh's conviction relates to his time of employment with BG Group, one of the world's biggest energy companies.
Justice McCallum refused bail for Fysh, whom was led away in handcuffs.
Sentencing will take place next week.
He was convicted today of using inside information, relating to BG's interest in Queensland Gas Company, to purchase shares in Queensland Gas.
The corporate regulator has said Fysh made about $640,000 from the trades.
Fysh's barrister, Bret Walker SC, said to Justice McCallum today that, when considering the penalty for Mr Fysh, it deserved attention that he had no prior convictions and that he was of "proven good character."
Mr Walker SC said the nature of Fysh's inside information was not as serious as in some other cases because Fysh "was not in the inner circle" involved in the business negotiations which provided the source of the information which Fysh used to purchase the shares.
He said Fysh was living overseas at the time of the offence, and that that might have had some bearing on his behaviour.
He also asked Justice McCallum to take into account that Fysh had a family.
But crown barrister David Staehli, SC said these concerns were not exceptional.
Fysh was found guilty of buying 240,000 shares in Queensland Gas Company between December 2 and 7, 2007, and another 10,000 Queensland Gas Company shares between December 3 and 8, 2007.

I got an e-mail from them asking me to join their network but do they pay?anyone tried them?
I have been using them since April of this year, I ran them until June then I stopped. They had some troubles with getting paid, so in turn my payments were delayed, However last month they paid what was partial owed and just last week I got the rest. I have not heard of them before April, but I went with them because of Dustin. He was my account rep for very large network before joining Aqua. I think I worked with Dustin for 3 years now. He has been nothing but outstanding. If you contact him directly he will take care of you.
I have no idea who you are, but I'm going to PM you my phone number now... please call me ASAP and I'll take a look at the books and we can get this resolved.
This is totally untrue, I have never received an email from you, but if you feel you are owed something you have not yet received please email me and we will take care of it... email@example.com - or if you want to PM me I will give you my phone number and you can call me.
I did. Debt is more than $500 since May. Mr. Dustin Peterson read my emails but does not answer them as well as does not pay. Stay away!
Does anyone else have experience with this company?
"TOm is a good guy" - pacelattinHope he's good enough to pay bills.
"This is totally untrue" - AquaMediaDustinUnfortunately it's true.
"we will take care of it" - AquaMediaDustinJust do it =) You are aware of all of your debts for sure.
The owner TOm is a good guy, no idea of their finances. I have forwarded him this link
My five cents in addition to the closed post.Smowtion and AquaMedia Direct owes very small sum each but very very long. Stay away from them. Unfriendly and non responsive people. Reasons for non paying: first - does not "accept" all available payment methods, second - "customer owes me, I'll not pay you".

Welcome friends to NatashaInOz.com. Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting me in my little corner of the world Down Under. Today I am sharing a "recipe" for lavender bath salts!
Lavender (Lavandula) is a flowering plant from the mint family.
Images from google images.
Essential Oil of Lavender is one of the safest and most widely used oils in aromatherapy, and as some of my sweet friends might already know, I am a BIG believer in the power of aromatherapy. It is a wonderful oil for people who suffer from depression and it calms a variety of nervous disorders including excitability and nervous tension. Essential oil of lavender has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. It was used in hospitals during WWI to disinfect floors and walls! Infusions of lavender heal insect bites and bunches of lavender repel insects. Wikipedia.
Derived from the Latin word 'lavare' – to wash, lavender is commonly used in soaps, bath oils and detergents. Studies have shown that the smell of lavender can even lover blood pressure. A drop of lavender oil massaged onto the temples and scalp can treat a headache. Source
There are so many ways you can have the scent of calming lavender in your home. You could burn lavender candles or place lavender sachets in drawers and closets. Essential Oil of Lavender can be used in diffusers, aroma lamps or potpourri or you could put a couple of drops of oil onto a cotton ball to place in your vacuum cleaner bag and sprinkle a couple of drops of Lavender oil onto your pillows.
If you have sore muscles, are having trouble sleeping or if you are stressed, you could try taking a hot lavender bath. This bath salt recipe is easy to make and it smells divine!
You will also need some PINK food colouring and about 5 Tablespoons of dried crushed lavender.
Drop some pink food colouring across the surface of the salt mixture and then do the same with the drops of lavender essential oil. Start with a small amount of food colouring and add more if you want a brighter colour. Mix thoroughly since the food coloring and essential oils tend to want to clump together. Using a large metal or glass bowl and a metal spoon (plastic and wood are too porous, and would absorb the scent of the essential oil), pour in the Epsom salts and sea salts and mix well.
Now add the baking soda and mix well. The baking soda needs to be added last or the mixture would clump together.Finally, mix in the dried lavender blossoms. These are added last so that all of the mixing doesn't beat them up too much. Put the bath salt mixture in an air-tight glass or metal container.
I put some in a glass apothecary jar.
I also recycled an old candle container (washed and cleaned of course!) and filled it with bath salts.
For a standard-sized bathtub, simply add a cup of bath salts to the water and allow to dissolve. Do not use bath salts with dried flowers in a tub with jets, though, as the flowers will clog them!
Please note: Lavender oil should be used with caution since it can also be a allergen and pregnant and lactating women should avoid ingesting lavender.
Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons. You will find it is to the soul what a
water bath is to the body.
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
While you are having a relaxing lavender salt bath why not light some candles and listen to some music! Maybe some relaxing jazz? How about the late and oh so great Lena Horne?
The late Lena Mary Calhoun Horne (June 30, 1917 – May 9, 2010) was an American singer, actress and dancer.
She achieved many firsts: one of the first black singers to perform at the famed Copacabana nightclub; the first black performer to sign a long-term contract with a major movie studio, (MGM) and one of the first black performers to achieve international stardom. Many people might remember her as Glinda the Good in the 1978 movie "The Wiz." Others might recall her ad for the Gap in 2007.
Lena Horne was honored by a resolution passed bu the U.S. Senate on May 14. The resolution, introduced by U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and passed unanimously by the entire Senate, recognized Horne's lifelong efforts as an actress, singer and civil rights activist.
Senator Gillibrand said, "Lena Horne's legendary voice and her lifelong dedication to fighting inequality will continue to inspire future generations of Americans. While we join together to mourn the loss of an American treasure and icon, we also celebrate Lena Horne's incredible life and legacy." Source
My Sunday Song this week is the song that I think most people would remember her for.
I hope you enjoy Stormy Weather.
Best wishes for a beautiful weekend,
Natasha In Oz
Please join me each weekend for the Say G'day Saturday Linky Party!

text: Adnan Oktar, known by the name of Harun Yahya, holds… conferences across the country, aimed at proving Creation... Harun Yahya's efforts to attract people to his own faith (Islam) are not restricted to Turkey alone. In 2007, the French Education Ministry was severely alarmed by this Creationist offensive: Schools had been sent copies of a work called the Atlas of Creation... Written by Harun Yahya and weighing 6 kg, this luxurious work consists of 768 pages and makes use of a large number of illustrations, declaring that the theory of evolution "is a trick of satan's."The concern over the Atlas of Creation in France undoubtedly reflects atheist and materialist philosophy's concern over losing Darwinism, their supposed scientific foundation. But the ideological worries of those who have bound themselves to Darwinism are too late. Because the Atlas of Creation has arrived in Europe, and people have been convinced that living things never underwent evolution. It has thus been revealed, to the French and to all humanity, that Darwinism is nonsense. Today, we are witnessing the rapid spread of Creationist belief in Europe and clear proof of this.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I decided that my 32 inch telly wasn't big enough and so went for this one and have never looked back!
I've had it for about a year now and haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.
The menu is easy to use. I like the energy savings feature especially the ability to turn off the screen when for example you're listening to the radio. This is quite important in a 42 inch TV because when it's on it is quite imposing!
The sound and picture quality are very good and it was easy to set up. My in laws have the smaller 32 inch version of this TV and they are similarly pleased with that.
The TV has plenty of ports of various gaming and DVD equipment.
It's quite an attractive Tv with a useful swivel stand.
I've just remembered one slight fault - the remote sensor has become a little temperamental but then I think that's because I mess with it!
I would definitely recommend this Tv!
I shopped around for a while before deciding on this tv and ended up paying £375 inc delivery just over a year ago.
The design is great with the function to swivel your tv to the right or left depending on where you want your tv to face.
Set up is uncomplicated and took minutes, i only would have preferred a better remote control as it does look a little on the cheap side in comparison to the tv, i changed the picture settings slightly from factory settings to give me the exact picture i want and the picture quality is great and very clear with no pixels in sight.
The sound for everyday tv i normally keep at 20 though it goes up to 100 which is great for playing music from music channels or computer.
It has great connectivity with a VGA port to use as a monitor for a computer, component (red, blue, green), audio (red, white), 2 HDMI ports, 2 Scart ports and red/white/yellow.
The inbuilt freeview is also a bonus as i use this when i am recording 2 programs on sky and want to watch another channel.
Great tv, no faults, would buy again!!!
I bought this tv at short notice as our other tv broke. I looked for the cheapest 42" tv that I could and this was one that appeared on the internet. I have now had the tv for just over a month and I can safely say that I have not had any problems with it.
The quality of the picture on the screen is fantastic and the sound quality is perfect!
You can connect the tv to your computer which was a major plus for myself!
The design of the the telly is sleek, sexy and very thin. The stand that comes with the tv allows the tv to swivel either way to adapt to the person who is watching it.
There is also some great energy saving features on the tv when you press menu as well as a sleep time and also (if you like to listen to the telly before bed) a function that turns the screen off after 3 seconds but keeps on playing music or whatever else is on tv!
Overall I am thoroughly impressed with what was quite an impulsive buy has turned into one of the best buys I have ever made!
I managed to buy this TV for just 299 GBP in the Christmas sales and I must say I am mightily impressed.
Setup from the box was effortless, simply a case of screwing the stand on. Plug in your Sky+ or V+ box and your aerial and the TV will set itself up... effortless and well done to LG.
The picture quality on both Sky+ and on its own Freeview tuner is excellent and very bright, similar to many of my friends' plasma TV's which consume much more energy and are prone to screen-burn if used with a PC.
I have my living room PC connected to the LG and it runs 1366x768 (720P) perfectly, all icons and webpages are perfectly viewable and the brightness is reduced by selecting the PC picture setting.
For Eco fans, there are 3 energy saving modes which dim the screen by varying amounts, the good thing is that there is a display that indicates how much less energy the TV is using.
To summarise then, I never dreamed that I could buy an LG 42 inch LCD TV for 299 that would be so good! Seriously exceeded my expectations.!
Most people either own a television or have access to one, especially when the media report that something exciting is going to be happening on 'Eastenders' or 'Corry', although why people bother watching as the media always give out the ending to the crappy, sorry, I mean exciting story is beyond me.
Anyway, little off the track there me thinks, so back to it.
Right, as I said, most people have one form of television, be it an old fashioned, yet very loyal, analogue one, which is the size of a small family car, with a set top box to receive those digital channels, or a top of the range plasma with built in 'everything but the kitchen sink', costing more than the price of a large luxury car. But none the less, most people have a television stuck in the corner of there room which all the furniture seems to point at.
I recently had the misfortune to have to replace my main television due to the fact that A, it was as old as Queen Elizabeth's etiquette teacher, and B, my youngest somehow managed to spill half a bowl of lukewarm tomato soup down the back of it. Luckily this was a few months back and gave me plenty of time to get one sorted before the world cup started, (although I wish I hadn't bothered).
So, there I was, forced yet again to by another television to keep my family happy with there 'Soap' addictions, (and I don't mean the bars of soap in my youngest daughters case).
Off I went with my credit card in hand looking for the perfect television to replace the massive, but now broken, Sony I had sat in my front room, (in the back of my mind still wondering how to dispose of the old television as it weighed more than a small family car, in fact, it took three blokes to deliver the thing many years ago when I originally bought it)
Anyway, I had searched around online to see which television were worth buying and I had come up with a short list, but mainly they were all LCD flat screen with built in freeview, and all were HD ready. So I hit the shops with the hope of bagging a bargain, and, after a few hours and lots of burnt shoe leather, I really think I did, as I came across a rather 'dark' looking and rather large television from the well known company called LG.
The television in question is in fact the LG 42LH2000, (they really need to work on these names don't they?), which was just what I was looking for.
When I got it home I quickly went about setting it up, sliding it easily out of the well packaged box and connecting the stand to the television itself, although there is a little cover for over the stand connection section if you want to mount this onto a wall.
Also in the box, apart from the solid foam moulding to stop the television from moving, is a manual which is on a CD ROM, a paper owners manual giving you a brief run down of the setting up, tuning and some connection tips and a remote control with two supplied batteries, which is nice.
So there I was with my new television now on its stand on top of a unit, tuned in to the many digital channels and ready to become the family entertainment box of the future.

This is a lovely looking television, if you're into that sort of thing. No seriously, it is one of them televisions which will not look out of place in any room, standing tall in a corner or even on a wall.
The front as it is well designed, giving a neat, good sized border of 50mm (2inch), around the actual screen, apart from along the bottom where it is 90mm (3.5 inch). This, together with the dark screen, really does give this television a certain style of its own.
I have it in the main living room of my house and, even from a bit of a distance, the picture is so clear and the sound quality is second to none, even when it is turned up somewhat, although it can 'crackle' a little at very high levels depending on what is blasting through the speakers.
And, if like me, you do have this on the crescent moon shaped stand then you can twist the television on the stand by about 25° either way in case you want to turn the main body without moving the stand.
Like many modern television, this one is HD ready giving you the opportunity to improve the picture and sound quality so as to enhance your enjoyment and you can add up to 2 HD devices to this television via the 2 HDMI input slots.
Plus, with the built in freeview there are many television channels to chose from to enjoy these improved qualities, although half the time there's nothing really worth watching.
The two 10W inbuilt speakers are really invisible, I've even tried looking for them, although I know they're there due to the fact that I can hear the great sound quality coming from the television, and with this 'TruSurround' XT the sound really is crystal clear.
Plus, with the 'clear voice 2' technology really does help in lowering that over the top background noise so that you can actually here what is being said during certain badly sound edited shows, (This was particularly useful when my kids are watching The Sarah Jane Adventures as in that show the background music is way too loud)
The easy to use on screen guide, (EPG), lets you check out what you can watch, giving you a peak into the future, sort of, allowing you to check out what rubbish, I mean programs that are on over the next 8 days, and from the many channels to chose from there must be something worth watching.
I've tried the energy saving feature, (this is used via the green button on the remote), going through the settings to see if it made much of a difference, and to be honest I found it to be a little bit of a waste of time, the only thing it seemed to do was darken the screen so I couldn't quite see what I was watching. But I suppose over time it would save a few quid if you used the lower settings.
As for the remote itself, well, the one that came with this television is easy to use and looks like any other remote, having the usual buttons for changing channels, turning the volume up and down, selecting device you wish to view by, such as DVD, video etc. There is also an input button which gives you the option to change the viewing experience for the particular program you're watching, such as sports, movies and others.
But to be honest I have set up a multi functional remote to control this television so I very rarely use the original one these days, storing it in a cupboard with all the other bits and bobs.
When I bought this one a while ago I honestly believe that I got this at a bargain price as the full tag in the shop stated that the 'normal' price was £525 at the high street shop, but fortunately, the day I went shopping, I managed to get this for £400, which is a cracking price indeed. In fact, that's possibly the main reason why I chose this one.
And, to make me smile even more, when I did a quick online price check I found that some places were selling this exact television for around the £600 region. But, even for £600 it is still worth seriously considering if you want a nice looking and very functional television with a picture that makes you feel like your actually in the program your watching.
In all, a cracking television which not only gives out a brilliantly bright and colourful picture but also fills the room with the sound quality of a orchestra in full flow.
For me LG have done it yet again and have given me a fantastic viewing experience which, if my experience with previous LG devices is anything to go by, will last for sometime yet.

Last Updated: Mon, 18 Apr 2016 > Related Articles
The information in this article has been consolidated and moved to a new article. See Programming Your Cox Remote Control for updated content.
The Cox Universal M7810 Remote Control is preprogrammed with a Master Power feature that allows you to sequentially turn all home entertainment devices on or off with a single button.
Cox Universal Remote Control
To execute the Master Power control:
Point the remote control at the devices you want to turn on or off, and then press and hold the POWER button for three (3) seconds.
Result: The power macro sequence starts.
Keep the remote pointed at the devices until all devices have turned on or off.
- Depending on what mode is currently selected (to select a mode simply press the mode button once), the remote control sends IR commands to the devices in the following order:
Start Mode Device On / Off End Mode AUX Cable, TV, VCR Cable VCR Auxiliary, Cable, TV Cable TV VCR, Auxiliary, Cable Cable CABLE TV, VCR, Auxiliary Cable

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/8/2012 (1832 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Blue Bombers
Outside of quarterback Joey Elliott getting the start, the big changes are on defence. Starting safety Ian Logan and starting defensive back Alex Suber return from leg injuries, and tackle Bryant Turner is back after attending his grandmother's funeral. The club also welcomes special teamer James Green, who makes his season debut after being released in the off-season (he suffered a broken foot during the winter). Green led the team with 17 special teams tackles last year.
Slotback Andy Fantuz (head) didn't make the trip, so that leaves a big hole in the Hamilton offence. Simon Charbonneau-Campeau should see the bulk of reps in his spot. Fantuz out also means backup quarterback Quinton Porter will handle the field-goal holding duties, which could lead to some excitement regarding possible fakes and/or muffed holds. Starting defensive back Bo Smith is also a no-go tonight.

Happy Presidents' Day!
As Presidents' Day approaches, let's take a moment to learn some interesting facts about two great American leaders. Read more about our presidents on the National Park Service website here : http://www.nps.gov/pub_aff/pres/trivia.htm
George Washington, 1st President: 1789-1797
• Washington was the only American president to be unanimously elected.
• Washington never lived in the White House. The nation's capital was located in Philadelphia, as well as several other cities, prior to its move to Washington, D.C.
• George Washington was the only president who did not represent a political party.
Abraham Lincoln, 16th President: 1861-1865
• Abraham Lincoln was a man of perseverance. Before Lincoln's election as the 16th president of the United States he failed as: a business man - as a storekeeper, failed as a farmer - he despised this work, failed in his first attempt to obtain political office, he failed when he sought the office of speaker, he failed in his first attempt to go to Congress, he failed when he sought the appointment to the United States Land Office, he failed when he ran for the United States Senate and he failed when friends sought for him the nomination for the vice-presidency in 1856.
• Abraham Lincoln was the first president to wear a beard and the tallest president at 6' 4".
• Lincoln was the first president to die by assassination. On Good Friday, April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth shot Lincoln at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C.

text: Mark Christensen has been a dancer, a pilot, a skateboarder, and a musician. According to his bio, he turned to filmmaking because he felt "it would be easier to communicate his ideas through film rather than struggling with a song." That's a dubious reason to pick up a camera, but not an unusual one. The desire to establish a foothold in show business often leads ambitious dilettantes to seek out the smoothest, clearest path, as if it doesn't matter what an artist does to get heard, so long as someone cocks an ear. Fortunately, Christensen's debut film, Box Head Revolution, demonstrates that his ingenuity isn't limited to self-promotion. For starters, he modified the shot-on-video look of his lighthearted, allegorical science-fiction film with a variety of visual filters, creating an atmosphere inspired equally by '50s B-movies and early avant-garde cinema. Adom Cooper and Jenny Kim star as young lovers on a distant, Earth-like planet, where the citizenry is forced to wear masks and follow a rigid set of rules, lest they be punished by having their heads locked in a box. Both the masks and the boxes provide Christensen with a clever way to disguise his post-synchronized sound, which he's designed with the kind of elementary sense of space and distance that often gets lost on an overdubbed low-budget film soundtrack. The director's visual sense doesn't measure up as well: In spite of an amusing found-object set design reminiscent of Guy Maddin, and a few unusual camera angles, the story of Cooper and Kim's romantic fight against state oppression could just as well have been told in a radio dramaexcept that no one gets famous making radio dramas. Still, Christensen creates a little world out of his masks, junkyard props, and purposefully obscured videography, and he gets even more mileage out of his dialogue, which consists of weird, synonymous versions of common English speech: "Lend me your acoustical orifice," "the new orb order," "my psyche was altered by your long absence," and so on. It's a little gimmicky, but also pretty consistently amusing. The major stumbling block with Box Head Revolution is that when the characters stop talking and the often heavily abstract action begins, the movie becomes almost unwatchable. The story is never hard to followit has to do with the heroes finding NASA's Voyager space probe and their struggle to bring its message of liberation to the peoplebut the excessive amount of pointless, poorly staged digression makes it obvious that Box Head Revolution would have played best as a short, not a feature. But, of course, no one gets famous making short films, either.

Canada retained their Winter Olympic ice hockey title with a convincing 3-0 win over Sweden at the Bolshoy Ice Dome in Sochi.
Goals from Jonathan Toews, captain Sidney Crosby and Chris Kunitz made it three gold medals in the last four Olympics for the Canadians, thus polishing their credentials as the world's top hockey nation.
However, Mike Babcock's side would surely have expected more of a game from their opponents although they started much the busier team against a highly-fancied Canada team who had beaten traditional rivals USA 1-0 in the semi-final.
When Carl Hagelin struck the post before Canadian netminder Carey Price gratefully grasped at the puck to end the danger, it looked like the Swedes were in the mood to cause an upset.
However, Canada slowly asserted themselves and Patrice Bergeron also hit the upright before they edged in front.
After 12 minutes and 55 seconds of the first period, Toews, the 25-year-old Chicago Blackhawks captain, sneaked them ahead and they may have added a second only for Swedish goaltender Henrik Lundqvist to foil Matt Duchene.
Sweden's Jonathan Ericsson had a two-minute spell in the sin bin for holding with Kunitz also sidelined for the same time for high sticking but it was a mostly unremarkable first period.
With Kunitz still serving some of his punishment at the start of the second period, Sweden swarmed around the Canadian goal but when parity of numbers was restored Canada were back on top
Sweden's Jakob Silfverberg earned himself a two-minute penalty for delay of game but Babcock's men remained imposing even if the statistics suggested a more even encounter.
There was no surprise when national hero Crosby, who grabbed the gold-medal winning goal in a unforgettable sudden-death final victory over the USA in Vancouver, 2010, made it 2-0, beat Lundqvist on a breakaway.
When Sweden's Patrik Berglund had to sit out two minutes for boarding, it hampered their chances of getting back into the game and they faced a fraught final period which quickly became stretched.
It always looked more likely Sweden would lose a third than get back in to the game and indeed Kunitz flashed the puck past Lundqvist to seal the deserved win for Canada.
Canada hero Crosby was happy that expectations had been met.
"We're really proud and we appreciate all the support, we know that there's high expectations coming in and we're glad that we could deliver," he said.
"We played solid and we didn't give anything up in the last few games.
"We played the way we needed to and it's great to see everyone get rewarded.
"Our defence was solid, so good at skating their way out of trouble we didn't have to play in our own end and, with the guys we have offensively, the more we can stay out of there the better chance we have of creating things."
Netminder Carey Price paid tribute to the men in front of him who helped keep a shutout.
"I'm just thrilled, these guys obviously worked very hard and we really wanted this and did everything it took to win it," he said.
"This team was totally dedicated to keeping the puck out of our net and we really had a relentless work ethic.
"We did it, we're so excited and looking forward to getting back home."
Sweden defender Johnny Oduya admitted that his side came up short against a "really good team."
"We didn't play up to our potential," he said.
"We had to play our best game of the tournament, but I don't think we did.
"I think they played really good. They played the style and had the game plan that they wanted.
"Obviously, the first goal for them was important. I'm not taking anything away from them. They deserved to win. We should have given them a tougher match."

- Rattenbury supports Labor, Gallagher returned as Chief Minister
- IN FULL: Greens-Labor agreement to form power
- Man in the middle: who is Shane Rattenbury?
Sole surviving ACT Greens MLA Shane Rattenbury emerged from the ruins of his party's near electoral wipeout last month with real power; and today he showed that he has learned to use it.
The former Greenpeace activist will now be a minister, but not one bound by cabinet solidarity, free to vote in the Assembly against the government he props up.
He has negotiated an agreement that reads like a Greens wish list, he will have more resources at his disposal than his cabinet colleagues and he is even free to publicly criticise the Gallagher government if he wishes.
Rattenbury felt confident enough to declare that he wanted the ACT to have Australia's "most progressive and Green government."
He can also put his name on the big-ticket policy items like light rail for Canberra, a clean-up of Lake Burley Griffin and full marriage equality, while using the leeway he has negotiated to try to stay away from anything too damaging.
It is a deal that avoids some of the political problems that were predicted for the Green, that he would be seen as an appendage to Labor, the party's de facto left wing.
But the agreement, and Rattenbury's success at the negotiating table, could cause his new partners, Chief Minister Katy Gallagher and her deputy Andrew Barr some serious headaches.
They now run the risk of being seen by voters, and attacked by Zed Seselja's Canberra Liberals, more than ever before as the Labor dog being wagged by the Greens tail, a look regarded as a political poison.
To say nothing of the prospect of having to fight an election in four years with light rail work causing major disruption to one of Canberra's main thoroughfares, Northbourne Avenue.
The offer of the Speakers' chair to Liberals, a Greens idea, is clever.
The prestigious job can be taken away through a vote of no confidence, with Labor and Greens controlling the numbers, and may act as check on some of the worst of the acrimony that has been directed at Rattenbury from the opposition benches during the past four years.
The Liberals will be tough holding this new alliance to account though, testing for any weaknesses in the marriage of convenience.
There will be keen interest, even beyond the territory's borders, in where or when the cracks appear.

Forums: Index > Watercooler > Is it posible to write text on taken photo with CHDK?
Is it posible to write texts on taken photos with CHDK? i.e like on Pana FZ18 ?
- I don't think so. CHDK would have to have direct access to the RAW data before it is read, wouldn't it? But there are many utilities that allow you to print any EXIF data on your photos. Two good ones that come to mind are PhotoLine 32, pl32.com, using its "Text to Picture" tool (File info, some EXIF, & IPTC data + your own text), and Mediachance DCE AutoEnhance, mediachance,com (File info, some Exif, + your own text). Both of these allow you to print any information from the embedded file information and add your own text to them, in any colors or fonts or effects that you want anywhere on your photos. Both of these allow doing it in batch-mode so you can apply the similar information to all your photos at one time. I'm sure there are other utilities that do this, probably some excellent freeware ones too if you hunt around. Most people opt to never have any text added to their original photos. There's no way to remove it later if you find it was covering up some important detail. If you want to use this for sorting images while you are taking them instead just save each session's photos to a new folder using the camera's menus.
IrfanView recently added this feature to its batch processing. 188.8.131.52 05:48, 26 October 2007 (UTC)Freddo
Of course, i don't wanted to put the text in front of photo i was thinking about some black strip under it with the comment so you can always recover a content.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/3/2014 (1258 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's not officially kaput yet, but the Winnipeg Jets' playoff chances are this close to completely flat-lining.
Yes, bust out the rosary beads and crank up the prayers, Jets Nation, for the situation is becoming more and more dire by the hour.
Continuing their absolute-worst-time-of-the-season-to-slump run, the Jets fell 3-2 to the Vancouver Canucks in a shootout at the MTS Centre Wednesday night, extending their winless streak (0-2-3) to five games.
The result inches the Jets one point closer to the idle Dallas Stars — who hold down the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference — but means the Canucks move past them in the standings.
Dallas has 74 points, Phoenix is at 73, the Canucks at 70 and the Jets have 69 with just 15 games remaining.
And so one point simply ain't going to cut it.
"We understand we needed two... it's tough, but we move on. We always do," said Jets captain Andrew Ladd. "There's no point in sitting here tomorrow and harping on it. We'll move forward. If you're holding on to it, it's holding you back from moving forward. We've done a good job of resetting every game, coming out and playing hard and creating chances. Sometimes the pucks go into the net for you. Right now, it doesn't seem to be.
"It's tough to reset, but you have to find a way. You can't let these losses kill the morale in this room. We have to work at it a little more and bring an energy to the rink tomorrow, find a way to do it and move on."
The Jets were facing a Canucks squad trying to shake off a horrendous finish in a 7-4 loss to the New York Islanders on Monday, a game in which they surrendered seven third-period goals in blowing a 3-0 lead.
More on how bad the Canucks have been of late: They were just 2-7-1 in their last 10 and were on a 1-11-1 skid on the road heading into Wednesday's tilt here in River City.
And so while picking up only one point in Monday's solid effort against a powerhouse like Colorado did provide some solace, losing in a shootout to the tire fire the Canucks have become absolutely stings.
"We had opportunities to get the second point in the last couple of games," said Jacob Trouba. "Now we've got to start getting them. Those are points we're letting slip away. It's good that we got one... you look at the positives and try to think about that. But at the same time, it's in the back of your mind we've got to get these points that you let go."
The Jets continue to talk about stopping their procession to the sin bin, but it continued against the Canucks. Winnipeg was short-handed three times in the first period and five times overall in the game, but the saving grace was the work of the penalty-kill unit, which was perfect again.
"We've definitely got to cut down on that," said Jim Slater. "I don't know how good the calls were... we weren't happy about a few of them. But our penalty-kill played well to kill them off."
The Jets and Canucks breezed through the five-minute overtime without a whistle, serving up some of the most entertaining hockey of the season in the process. But when that solved nothing, it went to a shootout. Devin Setoguchi, Andrew Ladd and Olli Jokinen were all stopped by Canucks netminder Eddie Lack, with Chris Higgins beating Ondrej Pavelec to get Vancouver the extra point.
After starting the season 5-1 in shootouts, the Jets are now 1-5 in their last six games decided by the skills competition.
"You want to feel it a little," coach Paul Maurice said when asked if frustration was setting in.
"You don't want to walk in there and say, 'Don't even worry about it.' I mean, you're putting a hard effort in and you want to get results from that, and when you don't, you should feel like that (frustrated).
"We want to make sure we clearly understand where we were good and where we weren't tomorrow and have that part of our game plan against the New York Rangers."

Search through millions of records to find out more.
October 27, 1926 — Lipsko, Poland
Eva was the oldest of four children born to a Jewish family in the central Polish town of Lipsko, about 30 miles southeast of Radom. The family lived at #12 Casimirska Street and Eva attended a private Jewish primary school. Eva's father owned a factory that produced shoes made from leather and cork.
1933-39: In the early 1930s I began secondary school in Zwolen, a town about 20 miles to the north. In 1936 my father left for Argentina to settle the estate of his deceased sister. For the two years he was gone, Mother brought my sister and brothers to Zwolen to live with my grandparents. Father returned in 1938, and a year later, on September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland, reaching Lipsko in the second week of September.
1940-44: In 1942 I was deported to a labor camp at Skarzysko-Kamienna, where for 12 hours a day I removed lacquered bullet casings from a roaring oven. The heat would make me fall asleep, and production would be halted. I knew that if I wanted to live, I had to transfer to another job. Working in the kitchen was good because you could get extra food. I had a dentist in the camp remove, without anesthesia, a diamond I'd hidden in one of my teeth, and I used the 1,500 zlotys I got for it to "buy" a job in the kitchen.
In 1944 Eva was deported to a labor camp in Leipzig. In April 1945 Eva escaped from a death march and was hidden by a German family. She was liberated by Soviet troops.

If you're from Arizona, chances are you haven't experienced Jack Frost nipping at your nose while skating around an outdoor rink.
Bust out your mittens, hats and scarves, Arizonans, because that's about to change.
Olympic ice dancer Ryan O'Meara is bringing winter fun to downtown Scottsdale. The rink will sit outside of Palavela Home, the interior design store he owns with his mother Sue O'Meara, for the month of December, and is open to the public.
"For me it's so different skating outside," O'Meara says. "[I've] spent pretty much my whole life on a skating rink. … [But] it's completely different feel."
The rink isn't just about family fun, it's also about bringing attention to downtown Scottsdale retail stores in a rough economy, O'Meara says. With an outdoor rink, customers get a chance to explore the shopping opportunities while having fun, he says.
The rink is "a way to boost the downtown Scottsdale area, as well as giving back to the community," O'Meara says.
O'Meara teamed the rink up with four local charities, giving each charity a week in December to call their own. Each week 15 percent of store and ice rink sales will be donated to the designated charity. The charities, in order, are Homeward Bound, Southwest Center for HIV/AIDS, the Arizona Chapter of The ALS Association and Ryan House.
O'Meara will be out on the ice with his partner, Emily Nussear, and Thursdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. a local amateur skaters will put on a free show.
But if you're looking to stake out a piece of the ice to practice your triple salchow or quadruple lutz, you should call ahead. The rink can hold only 40 skaters at a time, and O'Meara strongly suggests you reserve a spot.
This is a unique opportunity to skate outdoors in winter weather that doesn't give you instant frostbite, O'Meara says.
Wondering how the ice is going to stay frozen? The rink will be made of synthetic ice, which allows skaters to glide around as if on real ice, but without the added cost of refrigeration.
On a side note, Palavela Home is named for the arena O'Meara skated in during the 2006 Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. After retiring from skating, O'Meara transitioned to a career as an interior designer.
If You Go:
Palavela Home

Hours: 11 a.m.–9 p.m. daily, except Dec. 23–25

BRIDGEPORT, Pa. -- Johns Hopkins University goalies Danny Ovelar (Fr., Caracas, Venezuela/Emil Friedman) and Scott Weigel (Fr., Boca Raton, Fla./Saint Andrews School) combined to knock off two Top 20-ranked teams in a Collegiate Waer Polo Association (CWPA) Southern Division weekend to earn shares of the Men's Varsity Southern Division Rookie of the Week award.
In a 2-1 weekend for the Blue Jays, Ovelar totaled 22 saves with five steals and one assist in six quarters of action.
On Friday night at home in the Newton-White Athletic Center, he made five saves, including a stop on a five-meter shot with 26 seconds left in a tie game, in just two quarters of play in an 11-10 victory over No. 13-ranked and previously undefeated Princeton University. Ovelar factored on both ends of the tank as he assisted on sophomore Stephen Kingery's game-winning goal with just one second on the clock while also adding a pair of steals against the Tigers.
The next afternoon, he made nine saves and allowed just four goals, with one steal in two quarters of play in Baltimore as JHU beat No. 18-ranked Bucknell University, 11-9, in overtime. In the nightcap, Ovelar made eight stops and had a pair of steals in two quarters as Hopkins was edged, 14-13, by host George Washington University.
A three-time honoree in only his fourth week of varsity competition, Ovelar previously shared the September 5 Southern Division Rookie of the Week award with teammate/classmate John "Wes" Hopkins (Fr., Sinking Spring, Pa./Wilson) and earned the September 12 Defensive Player of the Week outright.
Garnering his first weekly award from the CWPA, Weigel had an outstanding week for the Blue Jays by making 20 saves, grabbing seven steals and dishing out a pair of assists in six quarters.
Against Princeton, he notched six saves and allowed just three goals and had a steal in two quarters of play. On Saturday, he made seven saves and allowed five goals with three steals in two quarters versus Bucknell before recording seven stops with three steals and two helpers, while allowing five goals, at George Washington.
September 26 Southern Division Rookie of the Week Honor Roll: Nathan Bean (Gannon University); Samuel Lopez (Mercyhurst College)

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/1/2013 (1688 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
With near certainty, every NHL team has its reliable, predictable components.
Among other things, the Winnipeg Jets will have captain Andrew Ladd back in a front-row chair, bringing leadership and a little edge, and defenceman Mark Stuart again playing the consummate role of battler and warrior.
In addition, there are elements that should not change much at all, like Blake Wheeler's speed or Evander Kane's hands (say what you want about his tweeting thumbs) or Jim Slater's faceoff ability or coach Claude Noel's quotes.
But as a new training camp is about to begin in a few days, late as it is, there are unknowns, question marks and wild cards.
In the case of the Jets, the direction in which these items tip figures to have considerable bearing on any change in competence of a team that missed the playoffs in its first year in Winnipeg.
Our top five camp wild cards:
1. Dustin Byfuglien
He's almost a reclusive figure, preferring time out of the spotlight and holding no love for being interviewed. Answers are almost always too few with Byfuglien, who had the second-highest number of points among NHL defencemen last season (53) despite missing 16 games.
Pretty much since Day 1 in Winnipeg, questions of fitness, not ability, have dogged Byfuglien and since the team's last game last April, it has been no different.
Following a summer court matter since resolved, rightly or wrongly, the gossip is everywhere and many wonder what Byfuglien will weigh when he returns to Winnipeg for the season.
Interestingly, captain Ladd said Tuesday he's got no concern in that area, that Byfuglien has skated regularly with a large group in Minnesota during the lockout and he believes the talented defender is ready to make an impact.
2. Ondrej Pavelec
Without a doubt, provided high-level puck-stopping ability to the team last season, though his numbers (29-28-9, 2.91 GAA, .906) didn't show all of it. A new contract was earned but intertwined in that timeline was an unrevealed drunk-driving conviction in his home country, Czech Republic.
Up to and including Tuesday, there's been no indication anywhere that Pavelec and his sometimes volatile agent Allan Walsh have resolved the matter internally with the Jets -- or for that matter, directly with the Jets' fans -- having apparently been left to fester more than six months.
Is it all to be swept under an unsavoury carpet? Is Pavelec repentant? Can the seemingly unflappable goalie operate at top efficiency under such a cloud?
3. Paul Postma/Zach Redmond
One or maybe two spots on the Jets blueline are currently open, especially with Zach Bogosian still out for some time.
In the off-season, the Jets gave AHL all-star defenceman Paul Postma a one-way deal out of his entry-level status. It is likely time to see if Postma can do something for the organization at the NHL level.
He has played the first half in St. John's, likely of some help when his camp begins this week.
But also in St. John's is second-year pro Zach Redmond, already 24, a late Atlanta pick in 2008 who played NCAA hockey for four years.
Reports are that Redmond has had an above-average first half for the IceCaps. No information was yet available on Jets training camp invitees but it will be interesting if the organization will reward Redmond and afford him the opportunity.
It certainly appears that one of them needs to be a player.
4. Ron Hainsey
Questions abound about Hainsey's readiness for the season, since he has immersed himself in NHLPA matters since last summer.
The veteran defenceman was a full-time player in the CBA drama up until its "conclusion" last weekend.
The questions are fair but it's sometimes overlooked that Hainsey is not new to the position of defence. He has played 544 NHL games and has been in the league since 2002 and clearly understands how to be a pro.
Whichever side you favoured or sympathized with during the lockout is not a fair lens through which to judge his upcoming play.
5. Mark Scheifele
Almost all that Scheifele has done since his seven-game stint with the Jets 16 months ago has been judged positively.
The organization's brass is still a big fan of his talents, his potential and his attitude.
He was the unexpected darling of the 2011 training camp. Will there be a repeat?
Predictions are many but the answer is impossible to know until Scheifele is in against actual NHLers starting next week.
The Jets would probably like Scheifele to make their roster. Some would say if they hope to be a better team, they need him to make it. But is Scheifele already written into the lineup? The betting windows are open on that -- we'll lay the cash on "no" until he proves it's a conclusive "yes."

"Since Primitive Skate's inception, each Primitive pro's first board has had a graphic that represents their spirit animal. Don Pendleton has been one of my favorite artists for as long as I can remember; his artwork has always been iconic and usually centered around the animal kingdom, so when we started talking about having a guest artist reinvent our animals, Don was the first person who came to mind. I'm excited to announce that initial idea has come to life in the form of the Pendleton Zoo"

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) -- Environmental groups on Tuesday threatened to file another lawsuit in their long-running battle with the federal government over ballast water discharges from cargo ships blamed for spreading invasive species in the Great Lakes and other U.S. waters.
Representatives of five organizations issued the warning on the final day of a public comment period on a regulation the Environmental Protection Agency proposed last fall. It would require oceangoing commercial vessels to install technology strong enough to kill at least some of the fish, mussels and even microorganisms such as viruses that lurk in ballast water before it's dumped into harbors after ships arrive in port. Environmentalists want tougher standards that would leave nothing alive in the water.
Ballast helps keep ships upright in rough waters. The EPA requires ocean vessels to exchange their ballast water at sea or rinse the tanks if empty to kill freshwater organisms, but some may survive in residual mud or pools of water.
The proposed rule is based on standards recommended by the International Maritime Organization, an arm of the United Nations, that the shipping industry says are achievable. Environmentalists say they are inadequate. They contend water cleanliness standards 100 to 1,000 times as strong are needed to kill virtually all organisms and prevent more attacks by invaders such as zebra and quagga mussels, which have seriously damaged Great Lakes ecosystems and cost an estimated $200 million a year for damage repairs and control measures.
The mussels clog water intake pipes, gobble plankton crucial to aquatic food chains and enable sunlight to penetrate deeper into the water column, contributing to growth of nuisance algae linked to botulism outbreaks that have killed thousands of shore birds.
"Invasive species are living pollution," said Thom Cmar, an attorney with the National Resources Defense Council. "If they can find each other and breed and multiply after they are dumped into a lake or coastal area, then it doesn't matter how few organisms were put there by the vessels in the first place."
Some states have their own ballast water requirements. In New York, rules scheduled to take effect in 2013 would set live-organism limits 100 times stronger than the international ones, while California is phasing in standards 1,000 times tougher.
Shipping groups say technology to meet those standards doesn't exist. A report issued last year by EPA's Science Advisory Board agreed. The industry contends if New York proceeds with its rule, international shipping will grind to a halt in the Great Lakes region because vessels must go through New York waters to reach the lakes.
The American Great Lakes Ports Association, which represents public port authorities on the U.S. side of the lakes, supports EPA's proposal but believes shipping companies should get more time to install ballast treatment equipment than the rule would allow, Executive Director Steve Fisher said. Environmentalists say the timeline is already too lenient. It would require installation to begin with a vessel's first dry-docking after 2014 or 2016, depending on its size.
"You can only ask the shipping companies to do what is possible," Fisher said. "The longer we keep debating what these rules are going to be, the longer no one does anything. We've gotten to the point where we're making the perfect the enemy of the good."
Environmentalists say the same methods used to treat municipal drinking water, such as chlorination, filtration and heat, could achieve the results they want.
"Half-measures will not cut it," said Marc Smith of the National Wildlife Federation. "We have solutions. It is time to use them."
They have sued the EPA three times since the 1990s to force action on the ballast water issue and may do so again if the agency adopts its rule as proposed, Cmar said.
The EPA is scheduled to make a final decision by November. The agency did not immediately return a call Tuesday seeking comment. When announcing the proposed regulation, the EPA said it would "substantially reduce the risk of introduction and establishment of non-indigenous invasive species in U.S. waters."

Suwannee C.I. inmates indicted on federal charges
Published: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 12:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 12:57 p.m.
Two inmates at the Suwannee Correctional Institution in Live Oak face federal charges now, after a grand jury indicted them for sending hoax anthrax letters to federal judges.
If convicted, Randy C. Johnson and Johnell Ford, both 20, faced a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison, according to a Thursday news release from the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Florida.
Johnson, who is in prison for robbery and aggravated assault, is accused of sending an envelope containing a threatening letter and fake anthrax in January 2012 to a U.S. magistrate judge in Tampa. Johnson is currently slated to complete his state prison sentence in 2028, according to Department of Corrections records online.
Ford, who is in prison for robbery and sexual battery, is likewise accused of sending a threatening letter and fake anthrax. His letter was sent in August to a federal judge in Tampa, according to the news release.
Ford is currently slated to complete his prison term in 2026.

WARRINGTON Wolves' new signing Matty Russell looks set to miss the start of the Super League season after sustaining two injuries to the same ankle during the club's pre-season trip to Australia.
Having arrived back in the UK on Tuesday the Scottish international full back will undergo a scan to determine the extent of the damage, with a possibility that surgery will be required to get the 20-year-old back to full fitness.
"Matty Russell has sustained two ankle injuries," admitted Wolves boss Tony Smith.
"He injured it not long after we arrived and he re-injured it when he resumed training. So that is a blow for Matty and he won't participate in the friendlies.
"I don't think he will have his ankle scanned in time to participate in those games, which is a shame because he has looked good in training."
The former Wigan Warriors and Gold Coast Titans full back was one of the shining lights of the 2013 Rugby League World Cup, providing a spark that Scotland used to surpass all expectations and reach the quarter-final stage.
Russell continued that impressive form when looking sharp in Wolves' festive friendly against Widnes on December 29.
But missing friendlies against Leigh Centurions on Sunday and Salford next Wednesday means that Russell looks set to suffer a delay to the start of his Wolves chapter as Brett Hodgson's replacement in the number one shirt.
"It is going to put him behind schedule ahead of the start of the season, I would expect," added Smith.
"Whether he is back available by the time the season starts is unsure. It depends on how he responds to treatment. He is doing everything he can to get back but I'd suggest he will be behind and that will make it unlikely that he will start the season."
Russell joins Ben Harrison (abdominal) and Paul Wood (knee) on Wolves' injury list, with all three unlikely to be available for the season opener against St Helens on February 13.

BUSINESSES on the Westover Trading Estate in Langport have been badly hit by flooding from the River Parrett.
Water started spilling onto the estate during the county-wide floods and some businesses were cut off.
Richard White, who has been running Langport Motor Company since September, said he was having to turn customers away.
He said: "It is a total nightmare – I just have to hope that the water goes soon and that I haven't lost too many customers.
"People can't get across the water, so we can't fix their cars – we were ticking over nicely until this happened and we could have really done without it."
Lloyds Animal Feeds said some water had got into its mill but that it was still trying to run as close to normal as possible.
Ginger Freds dance studio, set to launch in two weeks, was under threat of flooding but owner
Louise Barrett said she was grateful to people for helping to pump water away from the business.
South-West Peninsula Training managed to keep dry, as it is on the edge of the estate, but manager Liz Clark said it had opened up its car park for other traders to use until the flooding disappeared.
Langport town centre was left relatively unscathed by the flooding.
South Somerset District Council provided traders with sandbags because it was feared Bow Street could flood but Langport town councillors said there were no problems.
Town council chairman Chris Osborne said: "If anything, the flooding has done Langport a favour because lots of visitors were coming to have a look at the town."
Cllr Julia Gadd said: "It was more of a surprise to see Common Moor flood, we are used to Cocklemoor but I just think some people panicked a bit.
"We didn't have to close at Great Bow Wharf – in fact, we were really busy because of all the visitors."

Muirfield members will be consulted about their club's male-only membership policy in the wake of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews announcing a vote on admitting women members for the first time.
The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews believes it has "strong support" for a vote on September 18 to finally allow women members, 260 years after it was founded.
And although R&A chief executive Peter Dawson insisted the move was not intended to place pressure on male-only clubs on the Open Championship rota, such an interpretation was unavoidable.
Muirfield, which is owned and run by The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, said in a statement: "A working group has been empowered to consult with the membership and to make recommendations to the board about our future.
"As a club, we comply fully with the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 and there are no current plans to change the membership criteria, but these will be reviewed.
"HCEG confirms that we are already well into the process of preparing to consult with our members to gauge the best way forward. Most importantly, we intend to take the time to ensure that the plans we adopt will stand us in good stead, not only for the immediate future but for the next 270 years of our great club."
Royal St George's and Royal Troon, which also do not allow female members, have yet to comment on the news, which was confirmed on Wednesday after being leaked to a national newspaper.
Dawson said: "We very much hope once the vote is taken we will be welcoming women to the club. It's something that has been expected; I'm not going to say overdue but I'm sure I'll be asked that question.
"Early indications from the members are very positive indeed. We obviously wouldn't be entering this if we didn't feel there was strong member support for this and I hope that turns out to be the case. We have seen other organisations have more than one bite at this and (if there was a no vote) we would have to decide whether to come again or not. One has to pick one's time for this. Let's hope we have picked the right one.
"We have been talking about this for quite a while and it's our governance role which has been the driving factor. Society is changing, sport is changing, golf is changing and I think it's appropriate for a governing body to take this step. This is not about the Open Championship. This is about our governance role."
Asked if the vote should be interpreted as heralding the Open no longer being staged at male-only courses, Dawson added: "No, I don't think it should. It may, but I am not here to say it will.
"I think it is a step along the direction of travel. We are not intending to place other golf clubs under any particular pressure by doing this. We have been entirely focused on this internal change and I have absolutely nothing to announce about Open Championship policy. We have given the (single-sex) clubs advance notice out of courtesy.
"As long as clubs are behaving legally and are the best courses for the Open Championship then we have to put the needs of the Open Championship high up our list of priorities. To lose a number of key venues would not seem to be doing that to me."

SMWC Presents The House of Bernarda Alba
October 11th, 2010 | SMWC
The Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Music and Theatre Department presents the Spanish tragedy The House of Bernarda Alba, by Frederico Garcia Lorca on October 14-17, 2010 on the campus of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, Cecilian Auditorium.
The College is proud to welcome back guest artist Delia Taylor in the role of Bernarda Alba. Taylor works as a professional actress, stage manager and director and is currently the producing manager of The Jewish Center Professional Theatre in Washington D.C. Senior Danielle O'Connor serves as director and will incorporate music composed by Associate Professor of Music John McIntyre.
The House of Bemarda Alba continues to be read all over the world. Its setting is specific to the values and customs of a rural Spanish people, but the play's appeal is universal. The play focuses on the house of the strict matriarch, Bernarda Alba, whose daughters long for freedom and marriage. Only the eldest has the chance to marry and the resulting conflict culminates in tragedy. Written in 1936, this work examines the conflict between the rigid conventions of a strict social order and the passions and desires of the human spirit.
The House of Bernarda Alba was Lorca's last complete work, finished shortly before his assassination by the Nationalists during the Spanish Civil War. Lorca was born in 1899 in a small town in southern Spain and began his career as a poet and dramatist. During his life, he worked with and befriended many of the great artists of his time, including Salvador Dali and Luis Brunel.
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, Cecilian Auditorium
- Thursday, October 14, 2010 -7 p.m.
- Friday, October 15, 2010 - 8 p.m.
- Saturday, October 16, 2010 - 8 p.m.
- Sunday, October 17, 2010 - 2 p.m.
Tickets are $5.00 for young people (ages 12-17) and seniors and $8.00 for adults. Students from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, Indiana State University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology are admitted free with a student ID. Tickets are available for cash or check at the door. Please arrive 20-30 minutes before curtain as seating is general. A talk-back on Latin culture and a reception will follow the Friday performance.

When Joe Sullivan, Facebook's chief security officer, and Elliot Schrage, the company's head of public policy, flew to Washington DC on Monday for a grueling four-hour "showdown" meeting with a senior UK child protection official, the company wanted to send a strong signal that it was ready to listen and act on local concerns.
Facebook is desperate to draw a line under an escalating controversy in the UK over child safety. Always a target for scare stories over everything from spreading venereal disease to teenage depression, Facebook has recently come under scrutiny following the conviction of Peter Chapman, a serial rapist who used Facebook to meet a 17-year-old girl, who he went on to rape and murder.

When U.S. citizen and vocal anti-American activist Roberto Moreno is shot and killed in a Bahamian hotel, New York ADA Nance Laurel begins to investigate the conspiracy that the murder was planned and ordered by a U.S. government official. Laurel asks Forensic expert (and quadriplegic) Lincoln Rhyme and his partner Amelia Sachs for help. The problem? There is virtually no physical evidence for the duo to examine. Plus, the Bahamian police have attributed the murder to a drug cartel and consider the case closed.
The tenth installment in Deaver's excellent series, The Kill Room continues to showcase forensic science and delivers all the hallmarks fans have come to expect: a fast pace, red herrings, and enough twists to make you dizzy. This thrilling mystery can be read as a standalone, or you can start with The Bone Collector.
