White House Living
Pennsylvania Avenue
The Obamas' rental property is 7,000 square
feet of paradise on the southeastern coast of the island, complete
with large open spaces built around a lagoon pool....It's
also not cheap. Staying in this $8.9 million house, which Zimel has
dubbed the "Obama Winter White House," will cost around $4,000 a
night. The two houses next door will be occupied by Obama family
members and friends.
With so many Americans hurting, the White
House is smart enough to know that they don't want to flaunt their
good fortunes on those who are without...The First Family heads to
Hawaii tomorrow for a well-deserved tropical Christmas.
When I last interviewed Obama in September,
he was already pining for his Christmas vacation -- two weeks of
sun, shaved ice and surf in Hawaii. Well, it's finally here.
Delayed just a little bit by that health care vote, but it's gonna
come tomorrow morning. Then Obama is taking off. One
other big perk of the trip, a magnificent beach house his family is
staying in for the second year in a row.
Schultz: First of all you walk into the
White House, in the West Wing, and there are picture all over, I
mean everywhere! Of President Obama! I mean, of his life in
the first year as president of the United States. Now I don't
know if that's the way it is with every president, but it was almost
a shrine. I mean, well, here's a picture of Obama the
president with his kids over here. There he is getting on Air
Force One. Here he is with some military people. Here he
is on the line working the line at one of his campaign stops.
I mean, just, it was just one picture after another! (laughs)
"Let the good times roll" -- and roll they have
at the Obama White House, while nearly 11% of the workforce remains
unemployed, nearly four million Americans are losing their homes,
and terrorists ride the open skies.In fact, according to the
Chicago Tribune, the stylish Ms. Rogers and the party-hearty First
Couple hosted no less than 170 parties and social events through
December 3 of 2009. And that does not even include the 17
parties and 11 open houses -- feting more than 50,000 guests -- ABC
News reported the Obamas hosted throughout the Holiday Season.
For those not counting, that means by January, 2010, Ms. Rogers
had staged one gala
White House event every three days throughout the first year of the
Obama Administration, making the once austere Executive Mansion look
more like party central.
Arriving in a small jet before the Obamas
was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by
the late U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.…
Air traffic at the small Hancock County-Bar
Harbor Airport in Trenton was shut down for Obama's arrival. A
U.S. Coast Guard helicopter patrolled the air in anticipation of the
first family's touchdown, and a pair of local fire and rescue trucks
stood ready on an otherwise empty tarmac at the private air hangar.
Michelle Obama highlighted the political
pitfalls of presidential vacations when, during a trip last week to
the gulf, she said Americans should consider staying at one of the
gulf's "beautiful beaches'' to boost that region's economy.
The comment could heighten criticism if the Obama's vacation on the
"Our spies on The Rock report that the first
family will return to Chilmark's Blue Heron Farm for about 10 days
in August ... the big buzz on the Rock is that the
commander-in-chief, Michelle and the girls, Sasha and Malia, will
return to The Rock about Aug. 19. And why wouldn't they?
"The fab farm where the first family beaches themselves has a
basketball court for Barry, and the prez was greeted like a rock
star everywhere he went. And with his approval ratings at an
all-time low, a little love from the locals can't hurt."
Sorry for delay in getting back to you. --
personal information not included -- Situation very fluid RE
elections, WH, Obama, etc. Received something you may find
interesting RE First Lady. M.O. has become increasingly aggressive
w/staff at WH. Recent blowout took place involving First Lady
screaming (exact word used) at staff member. Said something to
effect -- "You are either with us or against us. One or the other."
Also heard to say that "the country doesn't deserve us" to more than
one member of WH. Apparently M.O. convinced Emmanuel has staff
leaking information to him or fears that. Not sure what she
fears from R.E. specifically but working to find out. Believes
he may be dealing directly with Clintons?
VJs role has
increased dramatically in recent weeks even more than it already
was. Axelrod diminished. Also told Gibbs very much out
of favor with M.O. may be gone soon. Developing.West
Wing is increasingly in bunker mentality these days. President
remains unresponsive/agitated while at W.H., repeats that he "wants
to be out speaking to the people." Staff paranoia at all time
high. Fear of H.C. described as "palpable." President
DID offer VP spot to her. CONFIRMED AGAIN. Have more
specifics on that developing but not ready to share yet. Will
say it appears H.C. considering VP offer. B.C. wants her to
run for Pres. in 2012 though. Developing.Will have
more in coming days. -- personal information not included -- Talk in

Should We Just Have "Assistance"?
One of the difficult balances to achieve in the area of politics dealing with "social services", and with bringing a proper Catholic understanding to how we as Christians should strive to shape such policies, is knowing how we should balance efficiency with proper concern for human dignity and human pride. I see this as being particularly the case when it comes to some of the large scale assistance programs which form part of our "social safety net" in the United States. Many of these are, it seems to me, essentially welfare of "assistance programs", yet are cloaked in the form of all-encompassing "savings" or "insurance" programs.
For example, the purpose of Social Security was clearly to assure that the aged are not relegated to poverty once they are no longer able to work. In the past, this was done through private savings, the help of one's children, and the help of one's community. However, these mechanisms often fell through, and so people often found themselves in poverty in their old age. Thus was created the Social Security system, which collected money via a payroll tax and "saved" it to fund retirement payouts after age 65. Medicare, which is designed to assure that the elderly can afford medicare care is much the same.
Unemployment "insurance" is funded via a system where employers pay an extra tax/fee which is a percentage of their total payroll, with modifiers which reflect how many of their employees have ever collected unemployment. Because unemployment is theoretically "insurance" rather than a hand out, you don't qualify if you were a contractor, or were employed for less than a year at your last job, or we terminated "with cause", etc. This, combined with the fact employers have to pay higher rates if there are claims against them, strongly incents small companies to falsely claim that someone was fired rather than laid off — a charge it's hard for the ex-employee to fight, and which denies them unemployment benefits. (I've known a couple people who have been victims of this gambit.)
In each case, the fiction of making this something other than a social service for those who need it increases expense and/or reduces help to those in need. Social Security and Medicare pay out benefits even to people who are already very well off on their own. Structuring unemployment benefits as "insurance" blocks some of the unemployed from coverage (and often those who were working part time or for less than a year will be the most economically precarious) and encourages employers to falsify reasons for termination.
I think there are two reasons we have the non-welfare structure for these programs:
1) At the time they were created, there was a stigma associated with "assistance".
2) People imagined that having everyone receive benefits, whether they needed them or not, would create a sense of egalitarianism and make the programs easier to sell to the voters.
Number two I'm basically going to ignore, because I don't think that we should necessarily shrink from helping those in need while recognizing that we ourselves do not need similar assistance. If there is an egalitarianism to a millionaire and a retired steel worker both collecting their $2000/mo in Social Security, I think it is frankly a rather false egalitarianism.
Number one, however, I think deserves a certain amount of thought. We have an innate human desire to support ourselves and our families. The dignity of work is a value built deep into our psyches, and we are unwise to knowingly break down that desire of people to support themselves. Thus, I think there is more than pride at work here. Even if, in all reality, current tax payers are simply having their payroll taxes used to pay for the currently retired, the idea that one is "saving" via Social Security does give more a sense of supporting oneself than simply being given a check every month because one is old and has few savings. There is, I think, a worth to the fiction that Social Security and Medicare are paid for by the contributions that one made oneself while working — even if it is just that: a fiction.
But is that fiction worth the inefficiency that comes with not means testing these retirement programs? And is the fiction that unemployment is actually "insurance" that our employers buy for us really worth denying benefits to many of those who would benefit most from them?
I'm not sure. There are those conservatives and libertarians who argue that a free society is best served by a small, efficient and means-tested welfare state. And there are those who argue that anything that involves the state giving money to people necessarily breaks down the bonds of community and the self respect that comes from work. Thoughts?
2 Responses to Should We Just Have "Assistance"?
1. Being in the social service game a long time, sorry to say that most of D-C's rhetoric is a song that's been sung many times before. Since about 1933 in fact. Most states struggling with budgets were those along FDR's whistle stop tour- PA, NY, Cali, etc. They're the ones who have been ramping up services steadily since that point. Now perhaps a breaking point.
2. What is justice? What is fairness? Most of the world's population exists on $2 a day. By their standards, even our poorest are living large. Plasma teevee for me, but not for thee? We can argue this stuff into eternity.
3. Also remember- all those job training requirement programs enforced by the Feds, installed between 1987 and 1996, have been wiped out by the Porkapalooza Bill. Now, technically, there is no reason for these folks to turn off Judge Hatchett, get off the couch, and search for a job.
4. Which means the Dems never liked those ideas in the first place. Coming from places like the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute. Slick Willie was forced to sign off on many of these reforms in 1996 because the GOP had the upper hand on Capitol Hill. Now the Pubs are back on their heels. Thus our Apostle of Hope and Change wiped them out with one stroke of the crayon.
5. Because it is useful to our political ruling class- mostly Dems but some GOPers too- to keep a certain segment of the population sedated and out of the mainstream productivity game. Means lockstep votes. Oh- kinda like what happened on November 5.
6. But I am keeping my wandering eye on this Chicago Tea Party movement. Created in a mid-day rant by CNBC's Phil Santelli on the plan to bail out people who can't pay for their mortgages. As in are the honest folks who make the minimum every month just a bunch of suckers. Numerous protesters in that spirit have greeted our Apostle in his clumsy visits to shore up the masses. Most of whom are already bought off by state and federal payments, the choir for whom he is preaching.
7. In my more paranoid moments, I have wondered if the current reality was exactly what FDR and LBJ had in mind in creating and expanding these welfare programs.
#3 was my favorite.

Beulah Bondi
Jump to
Chicago-born Beulah Bondi spent many years appearing in theatrical stock companies throughout the USA before making her Broadway debut in 1925 as a 70-year old servant in "One of the Family" (while still in her mid-30s!). After creating the role of the slovenly, gossipy neighbor in the stage play "Street Scene," Bondi earned kudos reprising it in the 1931 film version. With her plain, undistinguished but malleable features, the actress was often cast in older parts: At age 45, she offered a heartbreaking performance as an elderly woman in a nursing home in "Make Way for Tomorrow" (1937). One of Hollywood's truly priceless character players, Bondi was twice Oscar-nominated for her supporting performances in "The Gorgeous Hussy" (1936, as the backwards wife of President Andrew Jackson) and in "Of Human Hearts" (1938, as the doormat wife of stern minister Walter Huston). In the latter, Bondi played mother to James Stewart, which she would later do in the classics "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939), and "It's a Wonderful Life" (1946), both for director Frank Capra. Whether as the Puritan mother of troublemaking Bonita Granville in "Maid of Salem" (1937), or the mother of the ill-fated Emily Webb in the 1940 screen adaptation of "Our Town," Bondi personified not just the American maternal ideal as the backbone of the culture, but also the common woman of dignity and great strength.

US bank JP Morgan is getting close to reaching a £500m settlement with HMRC to pay back taxes from an offshore trust for bonus payments.
As reported in the Financial Times, the bank has asked more than 2,000 current and former staff to contribute a percentage of the amount owed to HMRC.
The Jersey-based trust in question was established 20 years ago and is now being wound up. It is unclear how much money is in scheme, however it is estimated to have held between £2bn and £9bn, which would therefore equate to a tax bill of at least £1bn.
The deal with the government is likely to represent around half of that amount.
A JP Morgan spokesperson told the FT: "Our employee trust has always been transparent to HMRC, and its independent trustee has consistently paid taxes in accordance with UK tax law,"
JP Morgan also said that in addition to taxes paid by the trust, it has paid more than £1bn of corporate and payroll taxes to HMRC annually over the past decade.
Employee benefit trusts (EBTs) have in the past allowed companies and staff to avoid paying employer's NICs and income taxes. The EBT holds bonus payments, which cannot be repatriated without triggering a tax payment, but employees can take interest-free loans from the trust on an unsecured basis.

LAFAYETTE — The state Public Service Commission is preparing to dig into the finances of Total Environmental Solutions to determine if the company is spending enough money to maintain the more than 200 small water and sewer systems it operates in Louisiana, many of which have come under fire for cloudy and smelly water.
"There continues to be this steady stream of complaints," said Scott Angelle, a PSC commissioner who represents portions of the Acadiana area, where TESI systems serve some of the rural areas not served by municipal water and sewer providers.
Some TESI customers in rural Lafayette Parish have long complained about cloudy water laden with iron or other minerals that stain laundry and ruin appliances.
In a move prompted in part by complaints about TESI, the state Legislature this year approved a bill that calls on the Office of Public Health to develop regulations for iron and manganese in water systems, minerals that had not been strictly regulated before.
Angelle said that while those regulations are being developed, he wants the PSC to take a different tack.
The PSC has no authority over the quality of the water provided by TESI, but Angelle said the PSC does have power to set utility rates and to ensure the company is spending enough of ratepayers' money on maintaining its water wells, filtration systems, pipes and other infrastructure.
"It's really making sure that the revenue they are getting is being prudently invested," Angelle said.
He said there is no timeline for the PSC investigation, and he does not want to pre judge the outcome.
"We might very well find that they've been prudent," Angelle said. "... I have found that in a lot of cases the smaller systems we have in the state are having a difficult time producing a quality product for a reasonable rate."
TESI CEO Bill Schoening said the company has not yet been contacted by PSC staff but plans to cooperate.
"We are patiently waiting to find out what complaints were received. We will address them," Schoening said.
Meanwhile, state Sen. Page Cortez, R-Lafayette, said he and a group of other area legislators are preparing to meet next month with the board of the South Louisiana Electric Cooperative Association, which owns TESI.
Cortez, who was one of the authors of the bill this session for tighter water standards, said he got the impression from an initial meeting with SLECA officials that they were not aware until recently of the extent of complaints against TESI, which, while owned by SLECA, has a separate administrative structure and operates out of different offices.
"What we've come to believe is that TESI is a poor operator and not a good corporate citizen," Cortez said.
SLECA General Manager Joe Ticheli said the SLECA board of directors, which serves in a dual role as the TESI board of directors, is "very concerned" about the complaints brought to them by Cortez and others.
"The board is really committed to addressing their concerns," Ticheli said.

Review by:
Riley de Lis
on June 23, 2012 :
The formatting seems off in some formats, but I was able to read the story just fine in the Javascript online reading.
This story was very sexy--I wanted it to go on longer! Love the title and cover as well. I didn't think I was into werewolf erotica, but this definitely made me a convert.

RYAN Aldridge is unsure whether he will have D-man Shane Moore at his disposal for this weekend's EPL clashes with Peterborough and Manchester.
Wildcats' have conceded 71 goals in 19 games so far this term - the joint-worst defensive record in the league - with a major factor in that statistic being the absence of the former Bracknell man due to an ankle problem.
Aldridge moved to strengthen the rearguard last week when he brought in Tomas Fojtik from Basingstoke, but Cats still only had five fit D-men last weekend.
The head coach explained: "Shane is getting so frustrated because the injury looks OK on the outside, but when he laces the boot up it puts pressure on the bone which is still bruised.
"He will train on Thursday night (yesterday evening) to see if he can go with it, but he doesn't want to make it worse and prolong his time out.
"He said it was 75 per cent last weekend so he could have played, but we didn't want to take it back to 65 per cent this weekend.
"To get the big man (Fojtik) in the line-up in these tough times is only going to make us stronger.
"Without an import forward it's going to make us more one-lined, but we were giving up too many shots and too many goals."
Finnish import Matias Perkkio and netminder Tom Murdy are still absent this weekend but in spite of the club's injury problems and the devastating overtime loss to Peterborough on Sunday, Aldridge says his players have shown positive character this week.
"Tuesday was probably the best-morale practice we've had for a while, the boys were more competitive than they have been this year," he said.
"The team is starting to come together a bit more and they are seeing it's there and that we're not in a bad place right now.
"The boys have stayed positive because they realised they didn't deserve to lose (against Peterborough) and that there was only one team in it.
"I think it will be a solid match on Saturday, without saying too much.
"I think a few of our players were frustrated by some of their players last Sunday and there will be revenge both on the scoreboard and on the ice.
"Against Manchester we've got to go in there with the right gameplan and stick to it. When we veer away from our gameplan for five or 10 minutes, it costs us."

Last week Kathleen Sebelius touted a mandate that health insurance provide "mental health parity," another new rule put into place by the Obama administration. There are already mental health parity rules on the books, but they're making things more stringent. A recent Forbes op-ed makes the case that the rule will increase fraud, the cost of health insurance and the number of policy cancellations. Just what we need.
So while Obamacare is driving up the cost of a policyfor many Americans by 50 percent to 100 percent, the new mental health rules will make coverage even more expensive—though it's difficult to know by how much.
The state-based mental health mandate usually operated in an environment where health insurers could deny coverage for a preexisting condition. Obamacare is eliminating that practice. Now people with mental health, substance abuse and behavioral issues can sign up—well, if the bureaucrats ever get the website fixed—for subsidized coverage with very few limits.
Evidence is already emerging that those who have signed up are older than average, and they will surely be sicker—because they are the uninsureds most motivated to get coverage.
Furthermore, the mental health mandate could mean that millions of additional health policies will be canceled because Obama just expanded what's considered qualified coverage.
If the past few weeks haven't convinced you the Obama administration never understood how the law would affect health insurance, this new effort should do it.
Of course, mental health and substance abuse patients should get the quality care they need. The challenge for health insurers has long been to provide good mental health coverage while minimizing the potential for fraud and abuse.
On the bright side, maybe members of the Obama administration will take advantage of this new rule and have their heads examined.

Part smartwatch, part fitness tracker. Supports bicycling. Records sleep. Smartwatch notifications are well implemented. Touch-screen enabled. Very, very pretty.
Not functionally independent; requires a supported Samsung device. Pedometer not enabled by default. Touch screen too sensitive to use while in motion. Requires two apps to use fully. Short battery life.
Bottom Line
The gorgeous Samsung Gear Fit is part fitness tracker and part smartwatch, but it's mainly an accessory for recent Samsung devices; if you want either an activity tracker or a smartwatch specifically, you can do better.
When a new notification arrives, the watch vibrates quickly and the screen illuminates. The touch-screen interface lets you scroll to reader longer messages, if you've enabled this feature. Other notifications include alarms, schedule reminders, missed calls, weather updates, and a lot more. You can pair up notifications from pretty much any app to display on the Gear Fit.
If that sounds like notification overload, in the Gear Fit Manager app, you can check the box for "Limit Notifications," which stops all notifications except those from calls and alarms any time you're actually using the phone. (Why would you want to get them twice?) It puts the "smart" back in "smartphone."
Fitness Features
As mentioned, the fitness features of the Samsung Gear Fit need some ironing out. One huge disappointment, for example, is that the pedometer is not enabled by default. Why oh why is it even an option to turn it off? For a product with "Fit" in its name, I should hope that the step-counter is always and forever doing its job. In the Gear Fit, once you turn on the pedometer, it stays on (phew), but I'm disheartened to say that's not where the confusion ends.
Flip on your Samsung smartphone and open up the S Health app, where you'll see yet another option to enable a pedometer. The phone and app have their own step-counting settings. Why does this overlap exist? If you have a Samsung Gear Fit paired to your S Health app, you shouldn't even see a second option to turn on a pedometer. (The reason: If you don't have a Gear Fit, you see, you can use the phone and app as your pedometer. Tricky.)
Okay, so let's say you turn on both pedometers. If there are conflicting readings, the devices will keep only the bigger number. Great. But there's more. In the Gear Fit, there's yet another function to record "walking" as an activity. You got that right. The pedometer counts your steps, but you can also record a walk separately, or perhaps in addition to your regular step count. The idea is that you can turn on "walking" when you're going for a walk, which allows you to enable a few other features, such as continuous heart rate monitoring, at least for the duration of the activity.
It takes a little time to wrap your mind around all these differences, but the main problem as I see it is you shouldn't have to. With most other activity trackers, the three-axis accelerometer inside detects when you're "going for a walk" versus puttering around the office. When it sees steady motion and an increase in speed, the companion app will show a spike in activity during this time. The Basis Carbon Steel Edition, for example, automatically records activities such as walks and runs. It knows based on your motion. Fitbit devices, meanwhile, don't classify the activity automatically, but you do have the option in the app to manually add the start and stop time of your walk (or run, or other activity).
With the Gear Fit, you have to remember to turn on and off tracking for any of your activities. If you've grown accustomed to the automation with other fitness trackers, as I have, babysitting your device in this way gets old very quickly. And unfortunately, I found that even when doing so, the battery only lasts about three days on a charge—well short of what you get with the average fitness tracker.
Bicycling, running, and hiking. On the touch screen, you'll see an option for Exercise, which is where you can find the "walking" option, as well as options for running, cycling, and hiking. Tap it, and you'll see your most recent summary of the chosen activity: total time, miles, and miles per hour or calories burned (depending on the activity). Next to the summary is a Start button to begin a new round of exercise.
Confusingly, all the extra features around activities, such as goals and that continuous heart rate monitor I mentioned, live behind the summary of your previous walk. It doesn't look like a button, though. You'd never know how to get to those settings unless you accidentally tapped the previous activity summary. Confusing!
The phone—not the Samsung Gear Fit itself—collects data about your mileage and speed, so you'll need to have the phone on hand for more detailed workout summaries. If you workout without a phone, the Gear Fit will still collect basic information, like your total activity time, and sync it back to the app, but it's pretty rudimentary without the phone.
There are some neat coaching features, similar to what you'll find in top-notch running or bicycling apps, such as Runtastic PRO. These features cause the Gear Fit to let you know you when you've hit mile markers, announce your pace, or tell you to speed up based on goals that you've set.
Heart rate. The heart rate monitor built into the underside of the Gear Fit measures the flow of blood through the veins with an optical sensor. In its basic setup, it's very similar to the Basis and MIO Alpha BLE. The Basis, however, takes your heart rate continuously, all day and night, automatically. And the MIO Alpha takes a continuous reading automatically while you're working out (it's a runner's watch, not a general-purpose tracker, so it's not meant to be in active mode all day and night).The key word in both cases is "automatic." With the Samsung Gear Fit, you can take a single heart rate reading by activating the heart rate feature, and you can turn on continuous heart rate data monitoring during an activity, but it doesn't do any of that by default. I'm sure these options are meant to preserve battery life, but they really take a toll the Gear Fit's ease of use and functionality.
I wore the Samsung Gear Fit for about a week while simultaneously wearing a Fitbit Force (yes, it's been recalled, but I'm still wearing one) and a Jawbone UP24. The Force and UP24 showed remarkably similar readings day in and day out. The Samsung Gear Fit was sometimes in line with their readings and sometimes not. Here's an example from one day's total:
- Fitbit Force: 10.44 miles (about 22,500 steps)
- Jawbone UP24: 10.31 miles (about 21,000 steps)
- Samsung Gear Fit: 10.59 miles (about 26,500 steps)
And here's another day:
- Fitbit Force: 6.24 miles (about 14,000 steps)
- Jawbone UP24: 5.6 miles (about 12,000 steps)
- Samsung Gear Fit: 4.13 miles (about 9,000 steps)
For what it's worth, the consensus is that people take, on average, 2,000 steps to walk a mile. I once counted my steps in a mile with a manual click-counter and came out way above average at more than 3,093. Across all my testing, I've found Fitbit's readings to be the most accurate, in part because it doesn't just measure steps, but also tells the mileage equivalent, and that's the number I've found to be the most accurate.


text: The picture has already made the rounds on the internet, but in case this was the first you're hearing of this delightful Doctor Who news, I put it after the jump. Rumor has it, however, that a famous New York landmark (that is not in New Jersey, hint hint) might be making a cameo appearance in the show's upcoming seventh season as one of its most feared villains. And as we know, the Who crew were in New York earlier this year filming scenes that may or may not have been part of Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill's farewell episode, and that the Weeping Angels were involved in that episode. While this is truly exciting to read about, I'm more excited that I get to make -- hint hint -- Ghostbusters 2 references for the second day in a row. Picture and story after the jump, and I'll warn you: it's very cool. Read the rest

… and among the young talents on show at at the salone satellite, we loved:
italian upcoming design studio dossofiorito magnifies their love for plants with the phytophiler.
the 'phytophiler' is composed of hand-thrown terracotta pots that are polished with natural beeswax, accompanied by a variety of attachments in stainless steel and birch plywood that determine the movement and growth of vegetation.
water droplets move independently throughout the semi-sphere, both collecting in shallow pools and rapidly dispersing, forming delicate patterns and interpretive geometries. the installation by tokyo-based studio kappes is controlled by a hidden computer, which manipulates the pumping speed, pressure and undulation of the water-repellent material's surface. as water is sucked from a small embedded aperture on the pure white bowl, it circulates through a filter to be funnelled around the circular plane, and repeats automatically as the technological system redirects.

It is a face-saving exercise that won't fix any of the problems piling up around the political football that is the national broadband network.
Rather than wait for the new Communications Minister
The writing was always on the wall for chairman Siobhan McKenna but the fact that all board directors agreed to offer their resignations highlights the lack of confidence they have in their own future at NBN Co.
A change of government always meant there was going to be management changes at the organisation but the cost blowouts, delays and some questionable decisions around re-tendering and contracting were always going to make it easier for Turnbull to make a clean sweep.
The Coalition has made it clear it is not happy with some of McKenna's decisions. They include engaging a lobby firm to secure directors' jobs if there were a change of government.
Then there was the strange decision to hire a recruitment firm to find a successor for chief executive
Former Telstra chief
The board's decision to resign is merely confirmation of the upheaval that was going to take place at NBN Co after the election. The challenge now is to ensure the disruption and management uncertainty is resolved as soon as possible.
One scenario is that the Coalition will split NBN Co into two separate companies to speed up construction. This would leave to the creation of two separate chief executives, one to manage construction and the other to oversee operations.
The logical assumption is that Switkowski would oversee the lot as executive chairman.
However, no final decisions have been made as the Coalition conducts a review of the project.
The big winner from the mess is
There is now a question mark over whether new technology will compliment or compete with the network.
Telstra is trialling new technology that can reach speeds of up to 450 megatybits per second, up to nine times faster than what the Coalition has promised, while

There is a great variation in the emotional development, processing, and responses for people between the ages of 13-17. It would be nice if we were given an idea of the ages of the victims. I'm assuming that 18 year-old females were excluded, because being 18 causes a person to be legally an adult. It would also help to know how much time had lapsed between the rape/abuse and the PE. It does state that it had been at least 3 months after the assault, but the girls that were chosen for the study could be 16 or 17 years old, and the rape could have happened over 2 years earlier. The same questions apply to the control group. It is nice that the girls had follow up for a year following this. I could go on with questions that aren't answered in this article, so I don't find this article and study to be particularly useful..

Foa's been promoting =her= PET with =her= research for almost three decades. In the hands of competent, empathic, conscious and compassionate therapists, it can produce beneficial results... but even in the hands of such people -- let alone some of the incompetent, half-conscious and less compassionate "mechanics" who may practice it -- PET can backfire and do very serious injury. The upshots of revealing what is hidden away back of "costly" and/or "poor" complex ego defenses (e.g.: borderlinism, dissociation, hypomania, histrionic personality, schizoidism, paranoia, etc.) without dealing with the belief systems involved are often even more costly. ("The road to hell is paved with good intentions," and all that.) Dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance & commitment therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and mind-body bridging therapy (DBT, ACT, MBCT & MBBT, respectively) all provide the ego- rebuilding elements PET does not. Nothing is "perfect" for PTSD, but the generation of therapies following the purely behavioral are at least lest risky. RG, Psy.D..

Curry house is a restaurant that specializes in Japanese curry. If you're not familiar with Japanese curry, its a creamier version of the Indian curry, the sauce is more dense almost like a paste, and its usually not as spicy as Indian curries.
Normally curry house is a bit over priced for the quality and quantity of food they serve. However, a couple times during a year they'll have promotions such as 20% off , or $5 katsu curry promotions. That's usually when me and my friends go swarm in.
Usually when people go to curry house, katsu curry is their go to item , katsu usually means its something fried in a steak like form. Therefore a pork katsu curry would mean fried pork chop on top of rice with curry sauce on the side. In this case a hamburger patty is fried and put on top of the curry sauce and rice.
Since I'm not a big fan of spicy food or fried food, I usually go for the tofu and ground chicken curry. It usually comes with ground up chicken and tofu all mixed up in curry sauce. It might not sound as appetizing as my description, but its good. And with spinach mixed into the rice, you'd get your daily vegetable while you're chowing down the curry too.
The other thing that I always get at curry house is the corn soup. Its a very creamy version of the corn soup, kind of like the cream corn they serve at prime rib steak houses, but more refined, Most of the corn is blended into the base of the soup and left you only a few grains of corn. My mouth waters as I'm typing this up, you should definitely give it a try if you like creamy soups.
If you're not a big fan of curry in general, there are also other dishes that you can try, they have pasta, omelet,teppan, gartin…etc
You can find out more about their selection and location from their website.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – There's a long-running mystery in Morgantown. But it's not a whodunit. It's a who gave it.
Every year since at least 1978, a mystery donor has slipped a $1,000 bill into a Salvation Army kettle. This year, a $1,000 bill, wrapped in a $1 bill, appeared Saturday in a kettle at a Kroger store manned by volunteer Mark Randalls, who has been ringing bells for the Salvation Army for 12 years.
"No idea at all," Randalls told The Dominion Post. "That's what makes it so cool."
Salvation Army Lt. David Costellow said he received an anonymous phone call a couple days ago telling him where to find the money.
"I know I've never held one before," he said, as he cradled the 1928 series bill in his hands. "This is such a generous act."
Costellow said the holiday tradition was one of the first things he heard about after he moved to Morgantown from a Salvation Army posting in Kentucky last summer.
"It truly is unique. I haven't encountered this anywhere else I've been," he said.
He said the mystery donation gives a boost to the Salvation Army's kettle drive fundraiser, which is set to end Monday afternoon. Donations are lagging behind the $100,000 goal but Costellow believes they will increase as Christmas Eve nears.
"People here are generous," he said.
Someone else dropped 10 $100 bills, joined together with a paperclip, in another kettle at the Kroger store's other entrance.
"We'll take that," Costellow said, "with thanks and appreciation."
The Salvation Army in Morgantown helps about 200 families for Christmas each year.

"That's right: red, pink and white have company," exclaimed a recent newsletter from the Chelsea Wine Vault. Laden with cartoony images of a wine glass filled with bright orange liquid and a grape vine dangling bright orange grapes, the newsletter featured an infamous, under-the-radar vino known as orange wine. Save all judgment! Unlike gimmicky green beer sold on St. Pat's Day, orange wine has a legitimate backstory…
The practice of making orange wines, despite its relative anonymity, spans centuries, dating all the way back to Eurasian wine production in Georgia (and we're not talking the Peachtree State here). Much of the orange wine that is commercially distributed today comes from Italy (specifically its northeastern Friuli region), but other producers include France, Germany and California.
The lovechild of white wine grapes and the red wine production method, orange wine gets its color from a biodynamic process that's similar to how red wine is made. The difference? To produce that orange color, white grapes are left to macerate with their skins. The result is a class of wine that ranges in color from pink to vivid orange, and yields a noticeably tannic structure and rich texture.
Not only is their orange hue fitting for the season, but they tend to be heavier than whites and lighter than reds—a perfect compromise for the fall. Make sure to serve it slightly chilled, at around 55 degrees Fahrenheit, and try pairing it with those increasingly heavier fall meals, like roasted vegetables and poultry. Or just serve orange wine at your Halloween party and amaze your guests with your historic wine factoids…

An Analysis of Disparities in Education: The Case of Primary School Completion Rates in Bolivia
The Education Reform Program launched in the mid-1990s by the Government of Bolivia had important accomplishments, particularly by increasing the coverage of primary education. However, the high rates of coverage observed at national level conceal the inequality in the distribution of schooling across children from different income groups, from indigenous households or even among municipalities from different areas of the country. This document intends to present a brief diagnosis of disparities in education access an attainment exploring data at individual and municipal level. The document finds that children from low-income families, indigenous groups and/or rural areas are less likely to finish primary school. Similar disparities are evident when observing data at municipal level. High poverty incidence, high indigenous-groups concentration and high dispersion of the population, are basic characteristics of municipalities with low primary school completion rates. The document also suggests a simple methodology that allows to identify municipalities that are high performers and low performers. This approach combines quantitative and qualitative analysis and may well bring to light important actions that could be undertaken in the poorly performing school districts to improve their ability to improve their performance

2 Photos of Brad Pitt in the WWII Movie FURY
Two new photos have been released for director David Ayer's upcoming World War II film, Fury. They feature Brad Pitt and his tank crew, which consists of Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Pena, Jon Bernthal, and Jason Isaacs. Pitt looks even more hardcore than he looked in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. He looks so much more hardened. In an interview with People Magazine the director talked about Pitt, saying,
"He's playing this badass, hard, tough, intense guy. It's a different kind of role for him."
He then went on to talk about the tank he used in the film, saying,
"I couldn't tell you how much insurance this thing had on it – it was crazy. It actually ended up performing really well. It's like the tank was happy to get out of the barn and run around. These tanks like to run hard. That's what they're built for."
The story is set at the end of World War II, in April 1945. "As the Allies make their final push in the European Theater, a battle-hardened army sergeant named Wardaddy (Pitt) commands a Sherman tank and her five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany."
The movie will be released in theaters on November 14th, 2014.
