McGrath Estate Agents, focused on NSW, Queensland and the ACT, has recorded $5.7 billion in residential sales over the financial year.
McGrath sold 5993 properties over the 12-month period – a 14 per cent increase on last year's sales in a soft housing market.
In fiscal 2010, McGrath sold 5095 properties for $5 billion and in 2009 it sold 3485 for $3.25 million.
"The past 12 months has been somewhat of a roller-coaster in the residential sector, with many locations experiencing the toughest conditions for many years," chief executive John McGrath said.
"However, I believe our results indicate that good sales can still be made in less certain times."
The agency achieved 1393 sales above $1 million and 375 sales above $2 million. There were 40 sales in the $5 million-plus bracket.
"The top end of the market has been most challenging but we still delivered some extremely strong results. The demand is not as strong as we have seen in recent years but sales are still being made," Mr McGrath said.
"The market appears to be waiting for a bit more good news and evidence that the worst of the economic woes are behind us."
He added that once the market returned, there would be "strong growth in the short term".
"I envisage, barring any macro-economic disasters, we will see solid growth over the next 12 months in many of the best eastern state markets," Mr McGrath said.
McGrath Eastern Suburbs in Sydney was the best performer and contributed $1.21 billion to total sales.

|Re: View collation by one key and sorting by another key
|Fri, 05 Aug 2011 22:00:40 GMT
Hi Zach (and everyone else) Thanks for the info. Unfortunately my game is already big and the proposed solution wouldn't really be suitable although _lists seem interesting and I'll definitely investigate them. I do find this quite a limitation to couchdb especially when one is working a lot with dated documents. Another question I have in a similar vein: Given a set of documents being created for transaction for the purchase of fruit for example. * { "_id":"uniqueOrderId", "dateOfPurchase": "2011-07-06T10:24:52", "itemId": "oranges" }* Could one collate the view entries by the date and then reduce based off of part of the value. ie How could I easily answer the question "*How many oranges were sold on Wednesday*?" efficiently with potentially huge numbers of transaction documents in my database. ie the map function would look like: *function(doc) { emit(doc.dateOfPurchase,[itemId,1]); }* and then the reduce function would accumulate the subset of values that it has to reduce into a map based off of the itemId and then somehow be converted into a list. My attempt at this would be something like: *function(keys, values, rereduce) { var map = {}; for (var i = 0;i<values.length;i++) { if (map[values[i][0]]) { map[values[i][0]] += map[values[i][1]]; } else { map[values[i][0]] =1; } } return map; }* Surprisingly enough this works with a data set that is too small to warrant a rereduce but I have no idea of how to efficiently convert that map into a list to conform with the rules for a rereduce. Help from anyone regarding this problem would be greatly appreciated.

London-based producer Larry Achiampong stumbled onto our radar through his stellar More Mogya LP, in which he flipped vintage Ghanaian highlife records and placed them on top of alluring hip-hop beats. Larry wrote extensively on the creation, history and meaning of his Africa In Your Earbuds mixtape, so we'll let his words do the talking:
With this mixtape, I intended to… amalgamate moments from both my audible heritage and musical-related experiences of my upbringing. African music, especially highlife, were a strong part of my childhood. My parents did a good job in retaining… their collection of highlife jams that they brought from Ghana in the early 80s and would play such classics as Alhaji K. Frimpong's KyenKyen Bi Adi M'awu. To hear that unmistakable crackle from the vinyl always gave me joy and for some reason I have since that moment continued to associate the vinyl crackle with the sound of something cooking in the kitchen. I think that is why I love playing vinyl, because of its strong connection to memory and ritual.
To… see my uncle crafting mixtapes by mixing highlife classics with American Disco and R&B was a sight in itself. I watched him like football fans might their favourite player – I could see how much he was in love with the sound and how it made him happy… I wanted to feel what he was feeling, to be in on the secret that had his spirit so sprung… My father also played in a band at a church that my family attended for many years in south London. One of the strangest things I found about this band was that they never really had rehearsals, all of the guys were family men and had to hold down their responsibilities with their full time jobs, but they sure didn't sound like a band that never had time. They were always tight, they had that unique ability to jam and work into each other's contour in a way that made you believe a higher spirit was with you.
Moments like the ones that I've described above as well as experiences like hearing my first hip-hop album in NaS' Illmatic, listening to makeshift pirate radio stations… these pockets of experience are connected to [a] second thing that I wanted to do with this mixtape: to re-present some of those elements of nostalgia via my music production efforts.
Stream and download Larry Achiampong's Africa In Your Earbuds #45 mixtape below, which features Larry's original productions, a good amount of Madlib beats and plenty of vintage highlife.

Pagudpod Adventure
love the way it was
February 5-8 2010
It was planned as business trip. I, Ivan and Jet were scheduled to visit the northern part of the country for projects. I was assigned at Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Ivan was in Candon Ilocos Sur and bangued Abra and Jet was assinged at Laoag and Batac Ilocos Norte. We decided that on the way to Ilocos we will travel by land and going back to manila by plane. I arranged our travel orders to HR and YES, we were booked. Jet took our reservation at Florida Bus and we will depart by 11 pm. We arrived at the bus terminal at 10:00. We saw a bus left at 10:30. At around 11 pm, Jet ask the terminal operators which bus we we're supposed to ride, In a big shock, the bus who left at 10:30 was the last trip going to Laoag.We can't do anything else but to wait for another bus which will leave at 3 am.. "WTF".. no choice we head back to our houses and agreed to meet again at 2:30.. Finally we leave manila at 3am.. long hours of biyahe.. WE ate breakfast in one of their stop-overs..at lunch somewhere in ilocos where you can see this view.. it was ok..
I arrived at Vigan at 1 pm.. Sobrang haba ng biyahe.. I headed to my hOtel. I took tricycle going Gordion Inn Hotel for 25.00..Upon arrival I took rest before taking the beauty of vigan by night. At Vigan took some pictures..see snapshots
At sunday we all agreed that we will meet at Laoag and headed to Pagudpod. From Laoag to Pagudpod. We rode on a mini bus for P60. At pagudpod we hire a tricycle going to the pristine beach of pagudpod...swim, eat, snorkel.. things we did here. FUN FUN FUN.. beautiful place.. great companions.. it was one heck of experience...
and of course.. walang sawang pictures...

Media Molecule's lovable little platformer has certainly been quite a success for Sony. The LittleBigPlanet series has sold millions of copies since its inception back in 2008. However, things could have been very different. When the title was originally pitched to Sony, Phil Harrison — President of Sony's Worldwide Studios at the time — suggested that LittleBigPlanet be offered as a free-to-play downloadable title.
"[He] said it should be free to play, it should have a new business model, it should be downloadable, it should do DLC, it should do user-generated content. Phil was basically raising the bar on what we were pitching."
Aside from initial thoughts of making LittleBigPlanet free-to-play, the title also went through numerous changes before becoming the LittleBigPlanet known today. Its name changed several times — from "Craftworld" in prototype to "LittleBigWorld," and then "LittleBigBang" — with the former incurring legal troubles and the latter sounding a bit too vulgar.
To date, LittleBigPlanet has become a very successful IP for Sony, with the "Play, Create, Share" mantra inspiring other games such as Modnation Racers and generating millions of dollars in revenue from both retail sales and DLC. Though the team at Media Molecule have signaled that they are ready "to focus on some new ideas," the LittleBigPlanet universe continues to thrive.
In fact, not even the PSN attack could bring it down. Since the outage, LittleBigPlanet has seen 1.5 million new users (after all, the game was offered as part of Sony's Welcome Back program), and currently there are roughly 4.7 million levels published in LittleBigPlanet, with many more coming each day.
It would be fascinating to know if things would have turned out differently had LittleBigPlanet been free to play. It's possible that a system based exclusively on micro-transactions could have damaged the game's online community — particularly after the PSN outage. However, the result could also have been the complete opposite, as making the game free-to-play could have opened up it to millions more people.
Do you think LittleBigPlanet would have succeeded as a free-to-play title, or was keeping it a retail title the correct choice?

An interesting attempt to combine the world of noir with that of art forgery doesn't really come together. Big problem is the screenplay's decision to have the main character, an art forgery expert, find out too soon (at about the halfway point in the film) that he's not really insane, but has instead been drugged. Therefore, the second half of the movie is a not very clever unraveling of the mystery of who drugged him and why. Give it a C. P.S. Even for 1946 making jokes about Nagasaki shows why a great many people in the world do not particularly care for Americans.

O'Brien wakes up confused from a train crash, not certain it happened or didn't, or why he's even confused. What happened? Was there an art-theft he witnessed? Did he stumble onto a forgery ring that would kill to keep making fortunes? Great little thriller about a once-unbelievably inane subject, but was quite engaging.

A series of recent Chinese takeovers of Germany's top tech companies has unnerved many Germans who fear the trend could undermine the economy. Germany has always been more comfortable as an investor than a recipient of investment, with the Chinese shopping spree sparking a wave of protectionist sentiment, which some German politicians are looking to exploit.
Germany has emerged as the preferred destination for Chinese takeovers in Europe. In the first half of 2016 alone, EY, an accountancy firm, reported that Chinese investment in Germany exceeded $10bn – more than the combined total for the previous five years. But Germans are nervous about the influx of cash, primarily because the companies being acquired are small and medium-sized enterprises that form the backbone of the economy. Read more

HOUSTON - A Houston-area family is demanding action from their child's school after they say another student cut their son's hair with scissors and flushed it down the toilet.
The family said the student with the scissors hasn't been disciplined.
"Now I'm worried about the safety of my son at school," said Jasma Elzy, the boy's father.
The parents said their kindergartner is being bullied at Hilliard Elementary School, to the point they're afraid to send him back to class.
They say it started with taunting at recess and has now escalated to a point they never expected.
"I just never thought that someone would do something so cruel like that to my son," said Kanicwa Thomas, the boy's mother.
They say 6-year-old Dimitriun came home with hair missing from his head. He said another boy followed him into the bathroom with scissors.
"He was behind me and then he cut my hair," said Dimitrun.
He said the boy cut off one of his 8-inch braids and flushed it down the toilet.
Dimitriun's parents say they went to administrators to complain but the family says their son was afraid at first to identify the alleged bully. The parents say a few days later their son told them the name of the student and his classes.
Dimitriun's father said he didn't like the principles reaction.
"He said that kids are going to be kids. Things happen," said Elzy.
In response HISD says the principal did not say that. The district issued this statement to Local 2:
"HISD and the Hilliard Elementary School administration and staff take this situation seriously. We are conducting a thorough investigation of what occurred. At present, we don't have enough concrete information to take disciplinary action. We will continue to investigate this situation closely and work with this student's family."

The Baltimore Ravens have a huge list of free agents and decisions to make this offseason that goes beyond just resigning quarterback Joe Flacco. Who should be the top free agent priority outside of Flacco has been a big question around Charm City and the answer, at least in my opinion is LB Dannell Ellerbe.
Some fans may be saying, "Josh, how can you say Ed Reed is not the top priority outside of Flacco?" and I completely understand that question, but you must look at the needs of the Ravens, and not just the caliber of player. Reed is still a good player, but the safety position is easier to replace than inside linebacker, especially when you already have Ray Lewis retiring, thus already have to replace one, so keeping Ellerbe is huge.
Again, a team's needs is far superior than the caliber of a free agent, more specifically as it retains to Reed, and Ellerbe will need to be retained by the Ravens as inside linebacker presents a huge hole for Baltimore next season. Ellerbe had a good season this year, and really held the defense together when Lewis was out with his triceps injury. Dannell who did miss a little time due to injury was still second on the team with 92 tackles, third with 4.5 sacks and also had a fumble recovery.
Not only is he a statistically good inside linebacker, but his ability in pass coverage is also a huge plus and when you look at what Baltimore has coming back at the inside linebacker position, in an injury prone Jameel McClain, Albert McClellan and Josh Bynes, so obviously keeping Ellerbe is vastly important to this Baltimore defense.
Who do you think should be the free agent priority outside of Joe Flacco? Let your voice be heard by posting a comment!

The Look: "Dewy skin"
Perfect for: "The outdoorsy bride in a warm climate. It's also the easiest look of them all to create by yourself without a makeup artist."
Get the look: "Since the skin is very dewy, transparent almost, it's a great look for an outdoor, warm weather wedding. Don't fight the climate—your skin will be dewy already so just go with it. Using a matte, light-in-shade bronzer, lightly dust around the face, topping with a cream blush instead of powder to allow skin to still seem dewy. Line eyes only in the corners and use a very sheer lip color to finish the look."

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. - State wildlife officials are getting the word out on Florida's next invasive species.
The black and white tegu is native to South America, but Florida Fish and Wildlife officers say 100 of them have been spotted in Hillsborough County, largely south of Riverview.
Many tegu's were once pets, or are descended from pets whose owners released them when they became unmanageable.
Wildlife managers recommend that you do not attempt to capture the animal if you come across one. Instead, you are asked to report its location to the exotic species hotline at 1-888-Ive-Got1 or online at IveGot1.org.

Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Outcomes of the Modified-Brostrom Procedure Using Suture Anchor for Chronic Lateral Ankle Instability - A Prospective, Randomized Comparison With the Bone Tunnel Technique
Further study details as provided by Chonbuk National University Hospital:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- The clinical evaluation consisted of a VAS for pain, the Karlsson scale, and the Sefton grading system. [ Time Frame: during a minimum period of 2 years ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Talar tilt and anterior talar translation were measured on anterior and varus stress radiographs. [ Time Frame: during a minimum period of 2 years ]

Suture anchor, Bone tunnel
Suture anchor group: patients who underwent the modified Brostrom procedure using suture anchor technique Bone tunnel group: patients who underwent the modified Brostrom procedure using bone tunnel technique
Detailed Description:
With With the increased number of participants in sports and leisure time activities, the incidence of ankle ligament injuries has been correspondingly increased. Various surgical methods have been reported for chronic ankle instability. Of these methods, the modified Brostrom procedure is currently used most frequently, and its excellent treatment outcomes have been reported. If there are any methods for obtaining a strong ligament fixation force which are both technically simple and safe, such methods would shorten the operative time and be helpful for surgeons with little experience in managing chronic ankle instability to obtain excellent treatment outcomes. In recent years, a procedure using a suture anchor, which is used for various types of ligament or tendon reconstructions, has been frequently performed. To date, however, few studies have reported clinical outcomes of suture anchor techniques and comparisons of clinical results between suture anchor techniques and other procedures. Given the above background, we prospectively compared the clinical outcomes between the bone tunnel and suture anchor techniques in the modified Brostrom procedure for chronic lateral ankle instability.

|Probability Sample
Study Population
Of patients who underwent the modified Brostrom procedure under the diagnosis of chronic lateral ankle instability, 40 patients (40 ankles) who could be followed during a minimum period of 2 years were enrolled in the current study. The current study included patients who complained of unilateral ankle joint instability.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients who complained of subjective instability of the ankle joint in whom repeated sprain injuries for > 6 months and pain were confirmed
- Patients with marked ankle instability confirmed by the anterior drawer test as compared with the contralateral ankle joint and tenderness involving the lateral ligament of the ankle joint was confirmed on physical examination
- Patients with an talar tilt angle exceeding 10o or a discrepancy of > 5o as compared with the non-affected side on stress radiography
- Patients with an anterior talar translation exceeding 10 mm or a discrepancy > 3 mm as compared with the non-affected side.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients who concurrently had an ankle fracture or marked tendon damage were excluded from the current analysis.

Lou Brown has been a sports card dealer for 35 years--one of those rare birds who has survived the ups and downs of the industry and built a strong retail business. Nice collections used to come into card shops in those early days. Lately it's a lot of overproduced stuff that isn't worth the cardboard it's printed on. Recently, though, the wait for another really good find … [Read more...]
Shop Owner Plays to What's Popular
Selling baseball cards only won't keep you in the hobby shop business these days. Successful shops almost always have to have a flexible approach and be willing to step outside what once may have been their comfort zone. For long-time dealer Lou Brown, that's meant not only selling a wide variety of items, but also catering to a broader clientele. Brown just moved his … [Read more...]

What next at G3XBM?
With my recent semi-successful WSPR transmissions on 136kHz and a few outings on 500kHz I feel I'm at a crossroads now: do I go on with the LF experiments or do I have a change and do something completely different? My original aim on the LF bands was to see what could be done "simply" i.e. without large antennas and with real 5W or less QRP power from the PA. Already I have the measure of this and I doubt I'll prove much more to myself by striving further.
Next challenge? Ideas please.

Hello Roger

Not a bad idea David. I've done homebrew transverters for 6m and 2m in the past, so 4m would be quite straightforward.
- Wed Jan 12, 11:48:00 pm GMT
Agree with 4m challenge - but what about a simple CW or DSB 70mhz project to try and rise homebrewed activity??

Woman Dumped by Text Uses Her Blog to Publicly Destroy Him -- Yikes! Would you do this?
Woman Dumped by Text Uses Her Blog to Publicly Destroy Him -- Yikes!
by Lisa Fogarty
The world is your oyster when you're young, not so much in love, pissed off, and when you just happen to be a blogger who can shame the pants off the one who scorned you. A 26-year-old woman did exactly that on her blog, Little Black Blog. A man she calls "Rando," whom she dated twice, foolishly decided to call it quits via a text message. Quin Woodward Pu says she was "stunned into paralysis" after receiving the text and even had to leave her opera rehearsals early because she was "agitated" by the young man's horrible etiquette.
So she did something that is within the power of every young woman with a social media platform these days and set out to make this man's life a living hell. Vive L'Amour!
Quin begins with the backstory of their "love affair," revealing she encountered the incredibly drunk Rando at a bar. When they met for dinner and drinks, she says there was chemistry but that she wasn't shocked because she has "chemistry with pretty much everyone." Okay. The next thing we know is that they shared one more dinner the following weekend, which made Quin feel pretty confident she could invite Rando to her birthday party. Old Rando couldn't make it, but thought it was a sufficient exchange to treat Quin to a weekend trip to Wine Country. Which just screams odd, but I guess seems exciting when you're 26.
Quin then received this amazing text from Rando:
Listen I had fun on Sat but quite honestly I am in a state of flux right now and am really not looking for a relationship. Sorry to be a downer before your birthday but I have no doubt you'll move on quickly as you are a funny, smart, cool girl! Good luck.
Oh lord, Rando. I know these two only dated twice, but if you're going to invite a girl on a weekend wine trip, I think you owe her a phone call. You probably owe her a call no matter what -- just to be decent. Or do what we did back in ancient times and just never call the person back. Anything is better than a text with exclamation points.
Well, don't cry for Quin. Her blog rebuttal came fast and furious. She revealed that Rando used his agency's BlackBerry to sext her and that she was planning on forwarding screenshots of his sext messages to his boss. All those in favor of returning to rotary phones, say "aye!"
What would you do if you were broken up with via text message?
I would just let it go.
Hopefully this goes as a reminder to both men and women everything we put out there is not going to remain private.
This woman is over the top. Two dates and he decides to be honest with her and she goes balistic on this poor guy. He's better off without her.
If this had happened to me I would have just moved on. Two dates does not warrant this much anger even from me.
Um it was only 2 dates! I think she just set herself up for not getting anymore dates for awhile. If it were me I'd just let it go.
She is an immature bitch. It was only 2 dates so I hardly consider that being dumped. The guy seems like a decent guy. If she slept with him and decided she was all smitten then that was her fault.
i agree :)
Quoting steviechick:
This woman is over the top. Two dates and he decides to be honest with her and she goes balistic on this poor guy. He's better off without her.
If this had happened to me I would have just moved on. Two dates does not warrant this much anger even from me.

Eric Palmers Web Index
Welcome to my web
To left and below are pictures and links to some of my pages.
The family is now down to two. My wife Linda, and me Eric. We all play on computers. I was self trained, but in the 2004 year I have enrolled on a course "Access to IT". I then did a degree in Electrical and Electronic engineering. Linda has also been to collage and university and studied for a joint in English and IT. One item we both are involved in is the family tree. Linda does the hard work and makes the main copy, and I try to turn it into a HTML version and publish on the web.
The pages of this site are slowly being rewritten to encompass new skills and views. It will take some time to undertake this task. In the mean time you are invited to view the existing pages using this index page to assist navigation. But please remember views expressed on these pages may no longer be the view of the author. Also that advice may be biased on old concepts and ideas. Limitations of space mean many pictures are not stored on the main site which may cause a delay when viewing Due to loss of web space some pictures are missing.
As well as the family tree we have connections with countries around the world, and the web page is where we place pictures of interest to our friends, we feel this is a better option than email as it allows our friends to choose when they down-load.
We also include items of interest to others following the same hobbies, from Amateur Radio to the craft items of spinning, tea bag pictures, etc. To the left should appear an index for you to select pages. I have after many years gap returned to photography replacing the old SLR Ricoh XR7 for a Pentax K10D.
I hope the visitor will find something of interest. Next Page Facebook

Getting birds through winter takes more than bird feeders and brush piles. When the coldest days of the year set in, and most food sources are exhausted, berries can truly be a lifesaver.
Fruits are very important for overwintering birds," says Christopher Whelan, an avian biologist with the Illinois Natural History Survey. According to Whelan, many insectivorous birds change their diet in fall and winter. Woodpeckers, thrashers, quail, robins, waxwings, mockingbirds, bluebirds, grouse, catbirds, thrushes and even chickadees and titmice turn to berries when the weather turns cold.
The best winter-fruiting plants for wildlife are native trees and shrubs. "Many of them produce prodigious fruit," says Whelan. Natives are also easy to care for once they are established. Dozens--even hundreds--of varieties are available. Try cultivating some of the following plants in your garden. Nurseries and native plant societies can help you select the species best suited to your part of the country.
Sumac: For years sumacs were considered trash trees by gardeners. But now these widespread natives are cultivated for their fiery autumn foliage and showy seed heads. They are also without equal as a winter emergency food for a wide range of birds and mammals. Some 15 species occur in North America. Poison sumac is not really sumac and should be avoided as it's more closely related to poison ivy.
Holly: Hollies are among the best winter berry plants. Possum haw, a deciduous holly with abundant fruit, is found throughout the southeastern states. Winterberry, the hardiest of the hollies, flourishes in New England and eastern Canada. Three other native hollies--American, yaupon and inkberry--are evergreen, providing protection from snow, rain and wind. Cluster female holly bushes with a male to ensure a good crop of fruit.
Saltbush: Several species of this desert shrub are native to the Southwest and California. Wynn Anderson of the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens at the Universtiy of Texas-El Paso recommends four-winged saltbush. "It's excellent for quail as well as for a number of other critters," he says. All of the saltbushes are drought tolerant and prefer well-drained soils and full sun.
Hackberry: Nearly 50 species of birds--ranging from roadrunners to titmice--eat the pea-sized fruit of the common hackberry. Related to the elm, this species is one of the few trees that thrives from the edge of the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic seaboard. Eventually reaching 40 to 60 feet tall in ideal situations, the common hackberry is durable and can be planted in urban areas and in poor soils.
American Beautyberry: This hardy four- to six-foot shrub has purple or magenta fruit, which can last until mid-winter. Native in much of the eastern United States, beautyberry is a favorite of mockingbirds and several other species of birds.
Viburnum: Several native viburnums have berries that persist long into the winter. The fruit of possumhaw viburnum starts out chartreuse in the summer then gradually changes color, first to white, then pink, and finally to navy blue. It is native to the eastern coastal plain from Connecticut south to Florida and west to Texas. Highbush cranberry and nannyberry are two viburnums that grow across the northern United States.
Mountain Ash: As the name suggests, mountain ash prefers cool, moist habitats. American mountain ash, usually a large shrub or small tree, ranges from eastern Canada south into the Appalachian Mountains. Sitka mountain ash is a western species. Both have showy white blossoms in the spring. After a few freeze-and-thaw cycles, the orange-red fruit attracts grosbeaks, grouse and waxwings.
Hawthorn: Dozens of species of hawthorns are found in the United States and Canada. With thorns and a tendency to clump into thickets, these small trees do double duty, providing secure nesting sites in summer and plentiful berries in winter. Cedar waxwings, ruffed grouse and fox sparrows all devour the plants' scarlet berries.
Bayberry: Most species of bayberry, including northern bayberry and Pacific wax myrtle, are vital to winter wildlife. In the Southeast, tree swallows and other birds swarm to southern wax myrtle if a late cold front strikes in spring. Wax myrtle is easy to grow, tolerating a wide range of conditions.
Adapted from "Tis the Season for Birds and Berries" by Doreen Cubie, National Wildlife, December/January 2004.

Japan and Britain will hold ministerial talks in Tokyo on Friday to strengthen security ties amid China's growing maritime assertiveness.
"In addition to beefing up defense and security cooperation, we will also discuss measures to counter terrorism" in the "two-plus-two" talks between the two countries' foreign and defense ministers, Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida told a news conference Monday.
Kishida and Defense Minister Gen Nakatani will meet with British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond and Defense Secretary Michael Fallon in the second such talks between the two countries. The first were held last January.
The ministers are likely to agree to accelerate talks for the early conclusion of an acquisition and cross-servicing agreement (ACSA), which will enable the Self-Defense Forces and the British military to share supplies and transportation services during U.N. peacekeeping operations, Japanese sources said.
A joint study on missile technology will also be among the issues discussed, they said.

Two near-simultaneous blasts killed six security guards Thursday who were waiting in line to pick up their paychecks outside an Iraqi military base, officials said. At least 35 people were injured in the bombing attacks near Baqouba, 60 kilometers northeast of Baghdad, Diyala Heath Directorate spokesman Faris al-Azawi told the AP.
The attack started with a suicide bomber who joined the line of the guards known as Sahwa, and blew himself up around 8 a.m., according to an Interior Ministry official. Two minutes later, a car bomb detonated himself about 30 meters away.
The dead all were members of Sahwa, a Sunni militia that sided with American forces against al-Qaeda .
Thursday's blasts come following a triple bombing late Wednesday in the southern oil port city of Basra, which killed seven people.

Once you arrive at West Peak, outings for the day can be arranged. From the West Peak docks guests can stroll along the beach, gentle surf and coral shoals; and allow themselves to disappear into the warm solitude of their own private, palm-shaded cove. These shores are part of one of the largest reef systems in the world. The island has a well-deserved reputation for world class diving and snorkeling. The reefs of Guanaja encompass many superb underwater seascapes for scuba & snorkeling exploration - from wall dives to wrecks, from volcanic outcroppings to crags, crannies and caves. The Guanaja reefs still maintain their pristine nature in crystal clear waters with an abundant diversity of fish and coral life. From the beaches guests and crew also may launch traditional island dories for short journeys to various dive sites. Kayakers on the 1-week trip around the island can add a day or two of diving as they visit other inns and resorts around the island. Scuba activities at West Peak are limited to experienced divers. The full circumnavigation does require a level of boating skill.
Your Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrive at the Guanaja airstrip early afternoon, and go by water taxi to our inn. Have dinner at WPI, and stroll the beach in a red tropical sunset. (L) (D).
Day 2: Familiarization, kayak practice, snorkel, swim, and trip planning. Beginning kayakers will have the opportunity to learn and test their paddling skills. (B) (L) (D).
Day 3: Breakfast at WPI, and then depart up the north shore of the island. On route snorkel at Blue Rock, eat packed lunch. Set up camp in evening on beach above Michael Rock. Stroll down the beach for dinner at Island House or other small, local cafe. (B) (L) (D).
Day 4: Breakfast at Island House, hike to the waterfalls and cool off in the fresh water pools before returning to the beach. Might choose to do a scuba dive from here. Kayak to Mangrove Bight or try for a further distance into NorthEast Bight. Set up camp and dinner at local restaurant. (B) (L) (D).
Day 5: Early breakfast and paddle down the southeast coast among a chain of small atolls. Overnight camping on one of the atolls as guests on a private island. (B) (L) (D).
Day 6: Breakfast and explore the tiny isle, kayak to Katrain Cay and raft together at one of the dive buoys for some excellent snorkeling (deep water exit and entrance from kayaks). Paddle into Bonacca docks and take a walking tour of town, and then head for Southwest Cay with packed lunch. (B) (L) (D).
Day 7: A free day for hiking, swimming and beachcombing. (B) (L) (D).

Construction groups have renewed calls for reform of government housing policy after a dip in dwelling starts in the June quarter.
Seasonally adjusted Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show dwelling starts dropped 4.7 per cent to 37,820 in the quarter.
Detached house starts fell 2.1 per cent to 22,709, while apartment, town house and other dwelling starts slipped 7.1 per cent to 13,580.
Year on year, detached home starts fell 15.5 per cent, while other dwelling starts added 3.3 per cent.
The slump demonstrated the failure of the government to encourage housing construction after the global financial crisis, construction groups said.
Housing Industry Association chief economist
Master Builders Australia chief economist Peter Jones said urgent reform was needed to remove bottlenecks in the development process and inefficient developer levies also needed to be removed to encourage more construction.

On busy websites with many users, it becomes essential to be able to delegate some tasks, for example the management of the user's roles. As it is, you can give the 'administer permissions' to the users who will be in charge of managing the user's roles, but this also allows them to access the Roles and Permissions admin pages!
The RoleAssign module creates this permission, but I believe this feature would be useful in the core, as opposed to having to use an extra module for such a basic feature. (see the desription of the module for more information).
Here is a statement of the access control page.
Permissions also allow trusted users to share the administrative burden of running a busy site.
No doubt this extra permission would extand the flexibility of sharing the administration of busy sites.
Proposed resolution
As suggested in #7 create two new permissions:
- 'administer roles' to give access to admin/people/roles
- 'assign roles' to show the role selector in user edit form (and show the role-related bulk operations on user admin view)
(and keep 'administer permissions' to give access to admin/people/permissions)

Comment #1Dries CreditAttribution: Dries commented
Looks interesting.
My only gripe is that when you ask a random person what the difference is between 'administer access control' and 'assign roles', he probably won't be able to answer that question correctly.
In other words, can we rename 'administer access control' to make it more explanatory? What access does 'administer access control' permission give you after this patch lands? Maybe we can come up with better wording for this permission and further streamline things?
Comment #3Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
+1 on this. For the rename, "administer access configuration" vs. "administer user roles"?
Comment #5Dries CreditAttribution: Dries commented
If we can't come up with a single good name, it's best to further break up the permissions so that all of them are straight-forward and intuitive.
Comment #7Dries CreditAttribution: Dries commented
I'd like to rename "access control" to "permissions". Also the menu item ...
Given that, we could use the following:
1. administer permissions
2. administer access rules
3. create roles
4. assign roles
Comment #9Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
- +1 on fully splitting the permissions up to essentially permission per page.
- I'm getting warnings about DOS line endings, although the patch applies successfully anyway.
- It's not immediately apparent what "administer users" means now. I'm not sure if that's a task for this patch or not, but I will mention it.
- This may be a larger question for Drupal 6 in general, but all of these pages are beneath /admin/user, which has the permission "administer site configuration". In the new menu system that means you need that permission as well. I think that's acceptable if and only if that permission gives no access to any "real" pages, just the administrative index pages. I mention it here because I just noticed it while reviewing this patch.
- If "create roles" actually gives edit and delete permissions as well, shouldn't it be "manage roles"?
Comment #12alanburke CreditAttribution: alanburke commented
+1 great idea.
Certainly useful for larger sites where delegation of tasks has to be well planned out.
Comment #13Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
|Needs review
|» Needs work
One hunk fails. It's an easy fix.
However, the admin/user page is still set to "administer site configuration". That means you need that permission in order to get to any of the pages this patch affects, which gives you access to far too many extra pages. I'm not really certain what the best solution to that is. I'm not sure if it has to be handled in this patch directly, either.

OK, I *think* this works correctly. Unfortunately, I just realized I can't test it without doing a full reinstall, because the menu system is currently broken and never rebuilds menu_links. I'm afraid I don't have time to do that right now, as I need to get to bed.
Code looks OK visually, and lacking a better idea I'm OK with the "access user admin pages" permission. Can someone else test this with a fresh install after patching?
Comment #18forngren CreditAttribution: forngren commented
Patch works like a charm on a clean install. If someone can verify this, I think it's RTBC.
The attached patch is really them same patch with some cruft (i.e. Stripping trailing CRs from patch and eclipse workspace stuff) removed.

- Patch applies cleanly.
- No real code additions, just some "minor" changes, hence no new comments which have to be reviewed.
- Everything works as advertised.
Seems like a RTBC to me!

We absolutely need something like this!
Currently, there is only one permission to manage roles and permissions and to assign roles to users.
I think we could split that permissions as said above for 8.0.x then integrate something like Role Delegate in 8.1.x
Beware! I'm not sure this can still be included in 8.0. Do not start working on this before a proper beta evaluation is done.

Dancing? Me? Well.. I was in soical dancing in Junior Highat my old Junior High's Gym. Man. The boys are so immature. Some of them comment that they will get "Cooines."
I want to smack on them on their head. Just dancing. We learned the porka, ballroom dancing. Of course we were like 13 or 14. You know how boys are at that age. SM rolled her eyes now. Funny. I wonder if they have girlfriends now that they would like "Eww" I don't to dance with you becuse I will get "Cooines."
Nope. I can't dancing. I can made side to side. I don't think that is dancing.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130620135945
Steps to reproduce:
Have a website with an iframe named sidebar and try to access it via Javascript.
I am going to attach files which demonstrate the problem.
Actual results:
The console displayed: TypeError: document.sidebar is undefined @ file:...demo.html:1
The browser content displays the text "test case: access to sidebar failed" which is the original content of my iframe (from "demo_sidebar.html").
Expected results:
As with Firefox 21, no error should occur and the iframe should be updated.
The browser content should display the text "test case: access to sidebar works".

frame loaded by javascript
Sorry about the spam, but I didn't find a way to attach several files at once. The test case are 3 files:
demo.hmtl - the main file to load in your browser
demo_sidebar.html - the content given as iframe src
demo_sidebar_2.html - the content set via javascript
With Firefox 21 you see the content of demo_sidebar_2.html ("test case: access to sidebar works"), with Firefox 22 you get the unmodifed content from demo_sidebar.html ("test case: access to sidebar failed").
I guess that the change of behaviour has to do with the social networks changes to Firefox 22, but wouldn't expect that to break existing names?

(In reply to Loic from comment #3) [...] > I tried with FF21 nightlies, same error. Argl. Simplified the test case too much and didn't notice (not sure but I guess mixed it up with Chrome, which I also tested with). I'll try (hopefully) on Monday to create a new test case which properly shows the problem I am (still) observing here. Sorry for the inconvenience. > Could you test with a clean profil, please. > https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove- > firefox-profiles I can confirm that I still observe the problems when I completely remove the .mozilla directory and start anew when using Firefox 22, but not with Firefox 21. As I said I will try to create a working test case soon.

Working testcase
Thanks Loic for your rewrite to use only one file. But regardless of my mistake, I think you reduced it too much: the iframe attribute "sidebar" is missing, so the javascript wouldn't be able to access it no matter what?
I added a working testcase. Actually only "document" was too much (i.e. "document.sidebar.location" instead of "sidebar.location"). I also added a second case to show that the error only occurs when the frame is named "sidebar", not with other names.

Oh, I just noticed with the new testcase, the console error (TypeError: document.sidebar is undefined @ file:...demo.html:1) doesn't happen anymore. It seems that was only part of my faulty testcase. That is, the test case fail for Firefox 22 silently, while it works with Firefox 21.

Presumably the issue is that window.sidebar used to be shadowed by the frame name but now shadows the frame name... We had this issue with window.content too: see bug 857555. I guess we need to go through all the nonstandard properties on Window and do something like this...

(In reply to Boris Zbarsky (:bz) (reading mail, but on paternity leave) from comment #10) > I wonder whether it's better to just push on with WebIDL Window and mark > these as ChromeOnly or something.... That's certainly easier. Do we care enough about the web compat regression to want to backport a fix? If so, we need to do something like comment 9, because we sure aren't going to backport WebIDL Window. I'll defer to your (and alex's) judgement here. Thoughts?

I think it would be easier to answer that question if we knew the list of affected property names. I do think we should backport a fix for "sidebar".

Comment 15•

(In reply to Olli Pettay [:smaug] from comment #14) > I'm not familiar with the changes done in Bug 850517. It's a question of what non-standard properties we support on the window that might conflict with named access to subframes. We previously did named subframe resolution fairly early on in nsWindowSH::NewResolve, but now it lives on the GSP. So anything from either the second half of the resolve hook or that lives on the prototype via IDL is potentially a problem. Here are the properties I can come up with: * window._content * Anything in GlobalResolve, which means anything registered via the script namespace manager for Javascript-global-property. MXR gives the following hits: ** window.sidebar ** window.external * Things from nsIDOMWindow: ** (CSSOM View stuff - is that standard?) ** window.windowRoot ** window.textZoom ** window.scrollBy{Lines,Pages}() ** window.sizeToContent() ** window.content (fixed in bug 850517) ** window.crypto ** window.pkcs11 ** window.controllers ** window.mozInnerScreen{X,Y} ** window.devicePixelRatio ** window.scrollMax{X,Y} ** window.fullScreen ** window.home() ** window.{move,resize}{To,By}() ** window.openDialog() ** window.updateCommands() ** window.find() ** window.mozPaintCount ** requestAnimationFrame stuff ** lots of onfoo event handlers, not sure which ones are specced. * Things from nsIDOMJSWindow: ** setResizable * Things from nsIDOMWindowPerformance: ** window.performance This is all just using my incomplete knowledge of what is and is not standardized. Boris, what do you think? We could fix |sidebar| (and |external|) by having GlobalResolve check for named subframes. Which (if any) props on the prototype chain do we want to handle?
Comment 16•
4 years ago
The CSSOM view stuff is standard. find() is non-standard but commonly present in UAs, so not likely to be a performance issue. .performance is standard. move/resizeTo/By are commonly present in UAs. Most of the rest seem unlikely to collide with frame names. Let's just fix sidebar and external and call it good.

Do I understand correctly, that the bugfix is currently not intended to be applied to any version earlier than 25? If so, may I ask why? (the little I understand about the patch, it looks harmless enough to backport). PS: It doesn't matter for my site, because we couldn't wait for any fix anyhow and had to deploy a work-around.

The kids caught some yabbies, collected sticks for the fire and pretended to be lions and tigers. The adults enjoyed the sunshine, easy conversation and a cold beer.
As with most good birthday parties there were a few tears towards the end.
Happy Birthday Annabelle, life would be empty without you x

Donor Creates UUA Walt Whitman Fund to Promote Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Concerns
from the Legacy Newsletter
Over lunch in a cozy mom-and-pop restaurant in northern Maine, Frank talked about his dreams. Frank is a retired businessman in his seventies. He lives in a large, old house in a small town and has one adult son living with his own family in a different part of the country. Since becoming a UU in the late 1940's, Frank has been a member of several congregations and now belongs to the Church of the Larger Fellowship.
Frank has willed his $1.5 million estate to a charitable remainder trust to create the Walt Whitman Fund, a permanent endowment fund at the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). The Whitman Fund will provide the UUA with resources to lift up gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) concerns through two important UUA programs that impact GLBT people. Part of the Fund's income will be used "to increase public awareness of Unitarian Universalist values and perspectives on social justice issues, notably issues that affect gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender persons." Another portion will help the UUA's Beacon Press strengthen its offerings on GLBT issues, newly named The Walt Whitman Series.
I met Frank three years ago when I was in Florida on UUA business, and Frank was visiting family. Over key lime pie in Tampa we spoke about the many activities and programs at the UUA. Frank told me that he dreamed of helping the UUA do more and better work for GLBT people. Some months later, Frank and his lawyer created a trust agreement giving much of his estate to the UUA.
He has named the Fund for Walt Whitman because of his life-long admiration of Whitman's poetry and ideas. "He's a real giant of literature. He was interested in every kind of human phenomenon, every kind of universal phenomenon."
In each of the conversations we've had since then, I've sensed Frank's growing pride in the Whitman Fund. He's full of enthusiasm about the work it will enable to UUA to accomplish for GLBT people. One of Frank's close friends has already decided to contribute to the Fund and he hopes that many others will be moved to contribute as well.
Frank's generosity and commitment are themselves a wonderful, progressive legacy, moving Unitarian Universalism toward its goal of honoring the worth and dignity of every person. He has made his initial contribution to the fund by donating all of his income payments from a Pooled Income Fund gift directly to the Whitman Fund, and plans to give more.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 6/10/2013 (1415 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Nearly 5,000 runners raised $660,000 for breast-cancer research in the 17th annual CIBC Run for the Cure in Winnipeg Sunday.
The event, which is marked simultaneously across the Prairies every year, is a major fundraising campaign for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
Ten communities in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba took part in the Run for the Cure this year, with more than 29,050 participants who raised a total of more than $4.7 million.
More than 4,890 participants gathered at Shaw Park to walk or run their choice of one to five kilometres.
The money they raise helps fund innovative research, health education and advocacy programs with a goal to reduce cases of breast cancer and deaths from it.
"Time and again, the Winnipeg community, along with the entire Prairies and Northwest Territories, amazes us with their dedication to the foundation and breast-cancer cause," said Bonnie Megley, spokeswoman for the breast-cancer foundation.
The CIBC Run for the Cure is Canada's largest one-day, volunteer-driven fundraising event for breast-cancer programs and research.
Across Canada, an estimated 23,800 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 5,000 will die from it in 2013, said the Breast Cancer Society. In Manitoba, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis for women and 820 women will discover they have breast cancer this year, said the Canadian Cancer Society and 190 will die of it in 2013.
