Environment Minister Tony Burke describes allegations before the corruption inquiry into former NSW Labor MPs as ''horrific'' but he has brushed off concerns that the inquiry is doing damage to the federal brand.
Mr Burke told the National Press Club in Canberra on Thursday that there was no connection between the Independent Commission Against Corruption inquiry currently underway in Sydney, and federal Labor or federal NSW MPs.
''The allegations are horrific, they are extraordinarily serious,'' Mr Burke said. ''[But] it couldn't be further away from the federal party.''
ICAC is currently examining whether former state mining minister Ian Macdonald provided inside information to Labor powerbroker Eddie Obeid and his family regarding the granting of coal exploration licences in 2009.
The inquiry has heard that this enabled the Obeids to make $30 million and the family was set to make a further $70 million.
Earlier this week, Fairfax reported internal Labor polling that showed the party would be wiped out in western Sydney due to a combination of factors, including problems with the Labor ''brand'', exacerbated by the ICAC inquiry. Other factors reported by the polling included lack of trust, the cost of living and asylum seekers.
Mr Burke - who holds the western Sydney seat of Watson - said there was no concern about the damage the inquiry might be doing to Labor's federal chances.
''Am I at all concerned that people would view that as being associated with the federal party? No I'm not. I'm just not concerned about it being a federal issue.''
Mr Burke also said that NSW - currently led by the Barry O'Farrell's Coalition government - had a ''great propensity'' to vote differently at federal and state levels. He added that as a NSW taxpayer he was horrified at what was being reported out of the ICAC inquiry.
''Even to see it being alleged is horrific. But ... I just can't for the life of me see a federal connection''.
In Senate question time today, Liberal senator Mitch Fifield asked Foreign Minister and former NSW premier Bob Carr if he thought it was appropriate to serve "as the face of Australia to the world" while there was a corruption investigation into ministers of his former government.
Senator Fifield also asked if it whether the Foreign Minister should stand aside until ICAC work was concluded.
"We've just witnessed a man drowning!" Senator Carr said in response to the question, noting that he had not been called before the inquiry.
He said that over the ten years of his government there was no allegation of corruption.
"There wasn't even from the state coalition ... day after day of question time, a single allegation," he said.
A spokesman for Senator Carr added that ICAC was looking at allegations made after Senator Carr retired as premier in 2005.
"This is a flailing attempt at guilt by association," he said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/9/2011 (2175 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
THE Banjo Bowl was born from a surprising remark and from that, the unexpected has been a common theme for the game.
An off-the-cuff comment about "banjo-picking inbreds" from Troy Westwood in 2003 was just the tonic -- not to mention the iconic moniker -- David Asper, sitting on the Bombers board of directors, needed to hatch a Manitoba-style celebration of football against its biggest rival.
The annual post-Labour Day Classic rematch between the Blue Bombers and Saskatchewan Roughriders is entering its eighth go-around this year. How big is this game in Bomberville? Tickets go faster than any other on the schedule and it has been sold out every year since the 2005 season.
It is the single most important home game at Canad Inns Stadium, the one every fan -- and player -- has circled on their Bombers schedule.
"When these two provinces get together, it's a crazy atmosphere," veteran slotback Terrence Edwards said. "When I came here from Montreal (in 2007), I had no idea it was like this. I didn't know about the rivalry.
"This is crazy here."
As it stands, Winnipeg holds a slight 4-3 advantage in the annual grudge match at the old stadium. Most of the time, the games have been close. The final score has seen a four-or-less point differential four times, but the last two Banjo Bowls have been unexpected blowouts on both sides.
Let's start with the 2009 edition, which just so happened to be one of the worst losses the Bombers have ever had at home. Saskatchewan hammered Winnipeg 55-10 in a game that wasn't so much lopsided as it was embarrassing for the home side. Bombers defensive end Gavin Walls summed it up best in his post-game eulogy: "I almost want to walk out of here with a bag on my head."
Winnipeg committed eight turnovers. The crowd, understandably frustrated, took out their displeasure on the Bombers and specifically coach Mike Kelly.
Twelve months later, with the club scuffling along on a 2-7 clip and quarterback Buck Pierce lost for the season, the Bombers entered the Banjo Bowl under different trying circumstances. The season was essentially lost but for this one afternoon, the Bombers defence announced its presence by not allowing any touchdowns or field goals by the visiting side.
The final score was an unexpected one: Bombers 31, Riders 2.
More importantly, it was a life preserver for the players in a brutal, frustrating season. "I tell people back home that it's like the big college rivalry -- that's how intense it is," Edwards added. "The Banjo Bowl is more than a game; it's about bragging rights for the next 364 days of the year."
NO one, near as we can tell, ever referred to Winnipeg/Canad Inns Stadium as "picturesque," a "cathedral" or a "grand ol lady."
It was never held in the same high regard as Yankee Stadium or the Montreal Forum or the Boston Garden -- sporting shrines every one of them -- or even revered or romanticized like Empire Stadium in Vancouver or Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium.
It was and remains, in one word, functional. And now the building's last days are upon us. The home of the Blue Bombers since 1953, the stadium will meet wrecking ball after this season as the football club moves into its' new home at the University of Manitoba to open the 2012 campaign.
There are potholes in the parking lot, leaks in the ceiling and coats upon coats of paint covering up some serious imperfections.
But the stadium has given its patrons some wonderful moments over close to six decades -- particularly in sports and entertainment -- and during this Bombers season the Free Press will revisit some of the more memorable moments and experiences housed in the old ball yard. Call it our farewell to the 58-year-old facility that has served so well.

A RAFT of major changes are on the way to care services for vulnerable people in Worcestershire - with four day homes facing potential closure.
Your Worcester News can reveal how Worcestershire County Council is trying to strike deals to hive off more of its services for helping the elderly.
As part of the plans four day care facilities - Timberdine Nursing in Worcester, Howbury in Malvern, The Grange in Kidderminster and Smallwood Lodge in Redditch could be scrapped or handed to outside providers.
The centres cost taxpayers £800,000 a year to run, including a staffing count of 15, and their usage has been falling steadily for several years.
On a typical day the centre in Worcester has just 17 visitors.
The Malvern centre is only visited by two people daily, while the Kidderminster one averages just 22.
All new admissions have now been suspended, with the council saying it intends to start "a 12 month transition period" to find the visitors alternative care providers in the county.
Every old person who is entitled to some form of day or respite care will still get it, even if the location is elsewhere.
The council says a final decision will be made in June 2015 once solutions have been found for all the old people affected by it.
Of the four, the rehabilitation services at The Grange and Howbury would remain in operation under the proposal.
The report on it, which has been endorsed by the Conservative leadership, says there are already "multiple providers in the market for older people'e day services".
It says a large number of those providers are already part of County Hall's approved list, which has allowed more and more old people to be referred to external centres in recent years.
The changes are just the latest in an overhaul of the council's adult care department, which is battling to save £32 million by 2017.
Across Worcestershire 6,200 people get council-funded adult social care at the moment, and of that tally 5,500 use external services.
Councillor Marcus Hart, the cabinet member for health, said: "This is the start of the consultation process and external provision of adult social care is nothing new to us.
"This gives us the ability to look at the market, consider all the options and bring it back at a later date for a final decision."

Research to road - A journey to chemical success
1 November 2011
With 303.8 billion vehicle miles covered each year in Britain, there's a clear need for clean exhaust fumes. Usually a costly process, cutting-edge chemistry can offer more affordable approaches to emission control. A recent knowledge link-up between UCL and industry giant Johnson Matthey, as part of the EPSRC Knowledge Transfer Secondment scheme,took us another step closer to cheaper clean air.
Catalysts such as those used in the automotive industry are one of the key areas of research for Professor Sankar and his team in UCL's Department of Chemistry. He explained, "The application of fundamental scientific knowledge to industrial catalyst performance in the automotive industry, through the synthesis, characterisation and catalytic properties of nanoporous materials, can help to develop emission control technology to extract toxic gases from auto-exhausts.
"Currently, the majority of catalysts contain expensive metal ions such as platinum and gold to convert toxic gases to benign ones. A recent trend in this area is to use less expensive and benign materials, in particular copper or iron."
Sharing expertise
In early 2011 Kerry Simmance, completing her PhD at UCL's Department of Chemistry, was using advanced X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance and infrared characterisation methods to investigate
the potential of industrially important nanoporous materials, such as small pore silicoaluminophosphates. Her expertise seemed ideal for UCL's Knowledge Transfer Secondment scheme.
Prof Sankar explained, "Kerry was looking at zeolitic solids, testing their stability as catalysts for long-term usage. We submitted a proposal to Matthey highlighting the expertise she had developed during her PhD in making and characterising these materials, and the potential applications of these skills within the company. They were interested in funding a secondment."
Kerry said, "I spent 12 months at Johnson Matthey, working with two different divisions. One was the analytical division, where I worked on characterisation methods. The other was the emissions control technology department, where I was synthesising a variety of catalysts with potential for industrial use."
Success for industry, success for UCL
The secondment was highly beneficial for both Johnson Matthey and UCL. Professor Sankar said, "The secondment was extremely successful, I believe, because the company really appreciated Kerry's contribution to research and production. But it really was a two-way process. It's not just that they got information from us – we got a better appreciation of industrial applications through them. They have experience in the practicalities of using these chemical catalysts, which we may not necessarily understand as purely academic researchers. So knowledge transfer takes place in both directions."
There are also benefits in terms of future research. Professor Sankar added, "Through this secondment Matthey have seen the real value in the expertise we can offer. And based on this, they have agreed to fund a PhD studentship in this area. So we benefit from stronger ties to an internationally renowned chemical company, one of the top FTSE 100 chemical companies in the UK. There is lot to gain for the university, and of course for the future of science in this field."
A career boost
For Kerry, the experience has proved invaluable. She said, "The secondment gave me the opportunity to perform fundamental science research on industrially important samples, with access to the latest technology. In industry this is very difficult because the business often focus leaves little room for in-depth pure science studies.
"The other important outcome for me personally was two job offers, one from each of my managers at Matthey. I was able to fully recognize the differences between academic and industrial research, allowing me to make an informed decision as to where I wanted to take my career. "
Professor Sankar hopes that future collaborations will be equally successful, "The Knowledge Transfer Secondment scheme has so many plus points, for everyone involved – there would be nothing negative I could say about it! I hope to be involved in more in future."

Jamaican 400 metres runner Dominique Blake has had her drug ban reduced from six to four-and-a-half years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
CAS ruled that the suspension handed down to Blake by the Jamaica Anti-Doping Appeals Tribunal for testing positive for banned stimulant methylhexaneamine at the Jamaican Olympic trials ahead of London 2012 was "too severe".
It was the 27-year-old's second doping offence after she had previously served a nine-month suspension.
CAS said in a statement there had been "some mitigating factors", but added Blake had "failed to establish that she bears no significant fault or negligence" for the positive test.
The period of ineligibility is back-dated to July 1, 2012, meaning she will be able to return at the start of 2017.

Hi all, i have been a fan of sitepoint for a while now.
I have come to a hard place and require a little assistance.
I have the following Class (file : headScript.php)
class headScript
public function connection()
$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=xxx", 'xxx', 'xxx'); // Dev
return $dbh;
catch(PDOException $e)
echo "Error :- " . $e->getMessage();
public function headLoad()
$cxn = $this->connection()->prepare("SELECT scriptCode FROM head_scripts WHERE active != '0'");
while($row = $cxn->fetch())
print "<script>";
print $row['scriptCode'];
print "</script>";
I'd like to remove the connection function and put this in its own file, then using namespace to pull this in. That way i have one file which can be called via namespace and i can use this function.
Am I thinking this is possible when it is not?
I have tried a few things but cant seem to get it to work.
Can anyone offer assistance?
Don't see why you need namespacing...
logic_earth thank you for posting back.
My reason is so that i have the db connection accessable for where i need it. I do not wish to keep typing the connection info.
Hope that makes sense?
You don't need namespacing for that.Just throw the connection into a file then include it. Then for methods/functions that need it pass it as a parameter/argument.
Thank you. had thought of that.
What is the use/need of namespacing then, or have i missed the point on them?
Namespacing is for much larger projects...which have multiples of interconnecting libraries.
That is one purpose, another is when you need to separate components that are likely to have similar names for different purposes. Example, I might have an Output file for an Email form and an object that stores Email related data and handles sending emails. I could name them OutputEmail and ObjectEmail (yes, you could have an output function in your email object, but I like to separate content from business logic/data access -- my .NET side is showing again), or I could use namespaces and have \Output\Email and \Object\Email. Namespaces are a way to organize your classes and libraries.
@Wbsite Creation, you likely want to create a Database Class. One that can help assist your database querying, connections, fetching results, etc. You would typically write this in a separate file and use require_once to include the class and then utilize the class where needed.

Vintage Zo: Center Wants More Minutes Or He May Retire
23rd June, 2005 - 3:35 pm
Palm Beach Post - Alonzo Mourning is not happy being a reserve for the Miami Heat and if he isnt promised more time, especially in the closing moments of crucial games next season he may retire.
"I just don't want to go through a whole year again and get into that situation where we were in Game 7 and not be on the court and helping out," said Mourning, who was hosting an event Wednesday to promote the ninth annual Zo's Summer Groove, which will be July 14-17. "I worked my butt off to try to be a part of something special and try to make a difference in the outcome of something. I felt helpless just sitting on the sideline and not being able to do anything. That's just the competitor in me."
The Heat picked up its option on Mournings contract for $1.1 million recently, but may not have to pay it if Mourning does not get his way. [READ]
Then it links to the actual article
Ok, did Zo not show up to the team he was traded to and whine until he was bought out? Then he goes and signs with Miami because its the easy way to get a championship. This guy is old, washed up, and has health problems. He is lucky to still be in the NBA and now he wants more minutes?!? I CAN NOT STAND THIS IDIOT ANYMORE. I hope he has kidney failure again.

So I am working on some network monitoring scripts and I found a weird issue with subprocess.Popen that I have not been able to figure out how to handle.
- Code: Select all
lpNetSeg = '10.1.1.1/24'
objNMapIPScan = subprocess.Popen('nmap ' + lpNetSeg +' -sP', stdin=None, stdout=None, stderr=None, shell=True)
Now that I look at that piece of code I see that I need to switch to parameters for the lpNetSeg.
Anyways, when I run that piece of code it takes approximately 1.7 minutes to run.
But I don't need any of the output from it, in fact I would like to suppress the output from it. So I changed the code to this:
- Code: Select all
lpNetSeg = '10.1.1.1/24'
objNMapIPScan = subprocess.Popen('nmap ' + lpNetSeg +' -sP', stdin=None, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=None, shell=True)
When I run this code it takes approximately 3.3 minutes to run.
Is there a way for me to suppress the output of the command without drastically slowing down my code?
I am using nmap as a ping sweep to populate the ARP / MAC-Address tables of my networking gear. So I need to run the ping sweep and let it finish before my script continues, hence the objNMapIPScan.communicate(), and that is also why I don't care about the output of the command as it just needs to run. The rest of my script just goes through and pulls the MAC addresses by port on my network gear but it has to be prepopulated by my ping sweep else my switches timeout the data and clears the tables.

The family of a suspected car thief who was shot 22 times by Orange County deputies will be allowed to sue the officers for wrongful death.
A federal judge has ruled that a jury should ultimately decide the responsibility of the 11 Orange County deputies who were involved in the shooting death of Torrey Breedlove.
The deputies believed they were immune from being sued in court because they were government employees who were doing their job. Deputies shot 137 bullets into the apartment complex taking down Breedlove, 27, three years ago.
A grand jury cleared the deputies of wrongdoing, as did the sheriff, who said his officers had no choice but to open fire on Breedlove because they said he was trying to ram officers with a truck.
The federal judge said evidence suggests "(a deputy) rammed into Breedlove, not the other way around," and that "a reasonable jury could conclude that (Breedlove's SUV) was either in reverse or stationary."
The family of Breedlove said they believe the agency must pay for using excessive force and killing Breedlove.
The judge said a jury "might question why 137 shots were required to secure an unarmed suspect."
Although the judge acknowledged that police officers have a difficult job and must make split-second decisions to defend themselves, he says the deputies don't deserve immunity from the lawsuit.
"The conduct at issue here is more akin to an execution than an attempt to arrest an unarmed suspect," the judge said.
Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings and one of the deputies' supervisors have been dropped as defendants in the case.

Living one more year
Writing Haiku poems, Learning to express, The reality of the Heart
de Henrik Bondo
Acerca del libro
Last year I asked myself: How would I live my life, had I only one more year to live ? The immediate conclusion took me by surprise, and was rather alarming. Because, what really scared me, was not to die, but to LIVE !
This book is a monthly day and night diary to document my journey into being alive. Each month consists of two Haiku poems illustrating a daylight-photo and an astro-photo from that same month, and my comments along the way.
I found, that writing Haiku poems is a tremendous help in expressing, what I call the Reality of the Heart. Finding this reality changes ones life. The purpose of the book is to inspire you to make your own poems, find your own authority, and follow your Heart.
PS: I get no profit from selling this book.
