Evaluating the Evidence on Income Inequality in Australia in the 2000s
Published ABS data from the Survey of Income and Housing (SIH) show a substantial increase in income inequality between 2001 and 2010. However, almost all of the increase occurred over a period when changes in survey methodology and income concept were occurring. I document these changes, present results of analysis of the SIH unit record data, and present independent evidence on income inequality trends using the HILDA Survey, tax records and National Accounts. I conclude that the SIH overstates the growth in income inequality, even when the income variable examined is notionally consistently defined across surveys. The extent of overstatement is uncertain, however, reflecting ambiguity about the nature and extent of changes to the distribution of household market income.

New and Used
Why Lease? Here are some compelling reasons you may want to choose to lease your vehicle:
The desire to acquire a vehicle with minimal upfront costs.
Lease financing enables you to acquire your desired vehicle and preserve your bank credit line. Why use your credit line when you can use ours?
Conserve working capital. A lease will allow you to conserve your working capital, lower your monthly payments, and maximize your tax advantages.
Leasing provides you with the ease of budgeting. Lease payments are fixed over the full term of the lease, enabling you to manage your budget and cash flow.
The desire to avoid paying the substantial sales taxes on the entire purchase price of a vehicle.
Tax benefits derived from leasing for business use. (Please consult your financial advisor for exact details)
Why P.A.T. Leasing?
We make it so easy to lease the car of your dreams. Our commitment is to consistently deliver cost-effective, efficient and flexible leases for both dealers and end-users. At P.A.T. Leasing we are automotive enthusiasts. We want you to love vehicles drive them and, enjoy them too, all while reaping the benefits of a lease program that is tailored to your needs.
We work with automotive dealerships throughout Western Canada to help you acquire your new or preowned vehicle at the best price and terms that are right for you. Not only do we lease All-Makes and Models, unlike traditional lease companies, we have the ability of leasing select vintage sports, collector, and exotic cars. Whatever the need may be, we'll put together the right leasing package to get you on the road.
Compared with other financing arrangements, we are uniquely positioned to offer our customers maximum flexibility. You'll enjoy the ability to conserve your working capital, lower your monthly payments and maximize your tax advantages. Let's work together to make your automobile dreams come true.
How it works:
At lease inception, we agree to a pre-determined value for your car at lease end. Optimally, we would like to set the residual value below the anticipated wholesale value with the goal of maintaining equity in your vehicle. Choose a payment schedule from 24 to 60 months and enjoy your car. When your lease expires, you have four options:
Pay the residual value and own your car free and clear. No more payments and you hold the title.
We re-write a new lease that finances your residual payment. No big cash layout and you continue enjoying your vehicle.
Sell the car and pay the residual value.
Trade the car to a dealer and let them pay the residual payment. You keep any difference, or apply it to a new lease

eZ Publish 4.3 CMS with Collaboration Extension
The new minor version of the eZ Publish content management system provides extended functions for user commenting and an enhanced administration interface.
The Norwegian CMS provider has been active since the end of 2009 in getting two new extensions in the new version 4.3. Another new feature allows visitors to a website maintained with eZ can edit their own and others' comments and receive notifications of new comments. Instantly noticeable is eZ Publish 4.3 redesigned admin interface complete with a new dashboard that allows fewer clicks to get things done and more flexibility. The Teamroom collaboration module allows a group of eZ Publish users to share common documents, files and other data and create project plans. The new version also provides a "brand new" module for user-generated content. This is apparently an enhanced functionality for the eZ Comments feature, as a separate web page for the new module is not apparent.
For a full list of features, click here. The all-inclusive version of eZ Publish is available as a gz-compressed tar archive at 35 MB, with additional package versions on a download page. The detailed release notes include a link to upgrade instructions.
eZ Publish is a CMS under GPLv3 with included as well as additional cost-based extensions. Feature rich plugins such as eZ Newsletter are also part of the eZ family.

Receiving a Present of Safety
For nearly a decade, Jeanie Mohan suffered from a blocked tear duct on her right eye. "I would be working in the garden or doing something else," the retired math teacher explained, "when suddenly a huge drop of water would fall down my face."
While it was annoying, Jeanie was apprehensive about having a delicate eye operation yet consulted with Dr. Stuart Seiff, an oculofacial plastic surgeon at California Pacific Medical Center. In less than an hour using local anesthetic, he created a new drainage tract from Jeanie's tear duct to her nasal cavity – and with no visible scar. "It was absolutely amazing," she said.
Meanwhile, another longtime condition was limiting her vision – she had cataracts in both eyes coupled with a moderate amount of astigmatism, a common condition caused by eyes that are more oval than round. The greatest impact, besides nearsightedness, was difficulty driving at night because cataracts clouded the lens of her eyes, making vision blurry.
Dr. Kevin Denny, now Chair of Ophthalmology at CPMC, conducted careful tests to evaluate the amount and orientation of her astigmatism, and the results demonstrated that she was a good candidate for lens implants (called Toric Lenses) that would neutralize most of that condition. In the spring of 2015, he then performed cataract surgery in her left eye, which went well. Two months later, during cataract surgery on her right eye.
"Her surgeries were a big success because she sees much better, both with and without glasses," Denny added. "She feels more comfortable driving, especially at night, and her chronic tearing to which she had become resigned was resolved." This great result required careful evaluation, consulting among physicians with different skills and formulating a plan "that is consistent with the patient's needs and goals learned from extended conversations over time," Denny explained, adding, "About thirty to forty percent of cataract patients will benefit from a Toric Lens. When combined with removing cataracts, it really clears up people's vision, and it's very gratifying to help restore people's sight in such a dramatic way."
According to Jeanie Mohan, it's "like getting a present every single day. Being able to drive safely and walk without worrying about tripping makes me confident and younger. I feel so grateful to both of them every single day for everything they did."

"You two have managed to accomplish something together no one ever has; you surprised me. "
The animation/kid's movies industry is becoming a tough business to crack. Coming up with original ideas has been harder then ever and ones that succeed both in the box office and the critics room even more difficult. That is why this is the renaissance era for this industry, reviving classic films from the late 90's & early 2000's. A notable example from this category would be Toy Story 3, which took home numerous nominations, a successful box office, love from the critics and nostalgia from fans. Since then companies like Pixar, Dreamworks, and Disney have been trying to come with such a success.
Now on to the review! The story of the origin of the friendship between one-eyed ambitious Mike Wazowski and the blue furred self-centered James P. Sullivan in their freshman year at Monsters University. This film has homages to all the classic college comedy movies, and as it doesn't hold out on laughs for the kids and adults, it has a great amount of heart. Questions of what the future holds, and if our dreams and goals are as possible as we expect them to be. Punches aren't pulled on the se questions, which is why it isn't just some animated movie to take the kids to see.
What astounded me was the creativity throughout the film, the effort that had gone into the university environment and the monsters that inhabited it. References to real college life are blended with superb imagination of the monster world. Rather it be a long blonde haired guitar player, or the horns on the school bus. All original voice talent returns and keeps up with the track record of great performances in Pixar films.
The core of the film is the friendship of Mike and SUlley, who represent contrasting attitudes in college study life. Mike is hardworking, ambitious and by the book but also small, an outcast and a longer. He wants to be the sole leader. Sulley is unprepared, lazy and coasts off his family name as a Sullivan. He's bigger, more intimidating and popular than Mike and expects everything will come through his natural ability and that he doesn't need to study. It could be viewed as a generic "be yourself" message but in the context of a college setting its thematically sensible because college should be a place where people learn their own skills and can take unexpected detours and still succeed. For those assuming this is a derivative underdog story, there is a huge point of conflict in this film, coupled with Pixar's trademark lump in the throat moments, as the story shifts into its darker unexpected final act.
Monsters University itself resembles a proper college with lecture rooms, dorms and orientation stalls, and uses this detail to reference old college films and campus stereotypes. I liked the variety in the monster designs, like how one of the students had a moustache shaped like a vampire bat or the Gothic monster that had spikes coming out of the microphone she was holding.
Hollywood films now are bigger and louder, but with little to nothing to say. Monsters University is a rare film that teaches people that you don't have to be big to be heard, just be yourself. The film is about learning to accept fear and failure, while remaining hopeful about change and growth through our different skills. Pixar's personal talent is that their films are still as simulating as they are funny and creative. For these reasons Monsters University receives a 9/10.

This was one of the longest trip I've ever had in my life. We were supposed to spend only 12hrs in the bus to reach Tabuk but we actually spend 23hours in the bus. Traffic, accident and renovations contributed to this. We left the Victory Liner Kamias Terminal at 730pm and arrived at Tabuk at 630pm the following day. The guide (Kuya Amboy) that my friend contacted waited for us with the rented van and we travelled from Tabuk to Tinglayan for 3hrs. We decided to stay in Tinglayan for the night. We woke up early the following morning and took the habal-habal. But we actually had to trek for another hour to reach Buscalan Village.
We went to Buscalan to meet Apo Whang-Od, the oldest and last mambabatok in Kalinga. There were already few people at her place when we arrived there. We had to wait for our turn. There's no mobile signal, and that was really a good time to meet new people. Everyone's talking about their long trip, and the tattoo designs.
I chickened out a bit on Apo Whang-Od. When we arrived, she was doing the tattoo of this guy. The guy was in blood and in tears. I opted to be tattooed by Grace, the young master. She's only 20, mind you. She did the traveller's star at my lower back. After I had a go with Grace, I decided to go ahead with Apo Whang-Od. I went to Buscalan for her anyway. I settled for her signature though, the three dots. Apo Whang-Od has firmer grip, and a bit more forceful. I also adore Grace, mine didn't hurt as much as I have expected and it's beautiful. Both used sharp pomelo thorns as the needle.
Aside from meeting a legend, the place is picturesque. In places like this, one would feel closer to nature. Visit Buscalan and see if for yourself. Make sure to book your bus tickets prior the trip to reserve your seats. Bring lots of courage and be tattooed by the master!

It was a bumpy 12-hour drive and a muddy 2-hour trek but all of it was worth it upon seeing the smiles of the little kids, asking us for candies. We greeted every house with a cheerful "Magandang araw po!" on our way to our homestay. Kuya Santi, the head of the PTA in Buscalan, warmly welcomed us to his wonderful home which was just beside the school. It was raining hard so we asked if we could just do the gift-giving the next day. (Note: This trip was part of our annual outreach activity. Last year, 2015, we chose to give the kids of Buscalan Village a simple gift containing a raincoat, slippers, toiletries and towels.)
Kuya Santi's wife prepared some coffee for us and WOW it was soo good! I just had to ask if they sell it. And yes, they do!!! (One of the best coffees I've ever tasted, seriously.) We were also asked who wanted to get inked by the mambabatoks. I was hesistant at first, but eventually I said I would want to get inked.
So the next day, we watched an amazing cultural dance by the Grade 4 and 5 students from the elementary school in Buscalan village. We had so much fun watching them dance and after we gave them our simple gifts.
After having early lunch, we went to Apo Whang-Od's house to finally get inked. There are currently 4 mambabatoks, Apo Whang-Od, Grace, Ilyang and Renalyn. So we all got our assigned mambabatok and I drew the design that I wanted. An arrow. (To symbolize that when life pulls you back, it means it's going to catapult you to greater heights.)
Anyway, It wasn't THAT painful. It's the kind of pain that's tolerable naman. And after less than an hour, poof! Got my first tattoo!
On our last night, we had a simple chill slash inuman session with the locals. Battling out on jokes and other stuff. Hahaha.
I could write all day about how much I loved Buscalan but the best thing would be having to meet these awesome locals who live a simple life but I was still able to get so much wisdom from them. My short visit to this little village hidden deep within the mountains has definitely been a life-changing experience.
Tsaychi, Buscalan! Until next time.

My body is my journal, and my tattoos are my story.
Why I just liked the place, alright, I love the tattoo and the traditional way of having it. With the use of a thorn, from a pomelo tree, and charcoal dust from the bottom of their pots & pans used as ink, your skin will be punctured over and over until the ink enters your skin. The process sounds very painful but for me, machine made tattoos are more painful. From Manila its a 14hrs travel by land & an hour trek up to the place, thats the sad part of it!

Journey to Apo Whang Od.
At first we planned to go to Sagada, though we've been there several times already, we just missed the enchanted place. I was talking to a friend one night and he asked about my tattoos and asked if I have one from Apo Whang Od. I got the idea of why not visit Kalinga instead of Sagada? Apo Whang Od is now 98 years old, said to be the last 'mambabatok' (traditional tattooist) of Kalinga. Arguments is now going on for her to be proclaimed as National Artist. In my opinion, she's a real gifted artist, at her age, she still has a clear vision, a steady hand, & a good posture, she smiles when you say 'picture-picture' amidst her wrinkled skin, but warning she also has a temper! My overall assesment of our trip, it was a bit tiring but its worth it!

We went straight to our Homestay (Ana's House, Php 250.00/px) & then lined up for our tattoo session, but not all of us was tattoed 'cause of the long queue. Dinner / Socials with our guide Jonathan, his friends & Gracia Palicas, who's the successor of Apo Whang Od, it was a night of revelations & laughter.

On our journey to Kalinga, we joined a friend of a friend of my boyfriend for this trip. We were a group in a van who all met at Petron station across Dusit Thani, there are vans there that go on trips to north Luzon. What a cool discovery. We left at 10pm on Friday, July 24, 2015 and we got to our destination by July 25, 2015 by 9am.
The road to Kalinga was extremely zigzagged, bless my heart I was asleep while we were on that rode. Although on the way back home I experienced the zigzagged road take a toll on my head.
Anyway before arriving at Buscalan in Kalinga's mountains, we stopped over at Bontoc, where we bought succulents & cacti and ate breakfast, then we hiked going to a small village where we immersed ourselves to live in for a day and a half. It was great taking in Kalinga's beautiful mountains, lush rice paddy fields and remnants of the whole lifestyle up the mountain. The climb was fairly hard, one of the girls said it was harder than Mt. Pulag. It was simple living up there, no mattress, shower heads, Wi-Fi and fast food.
The last tattoo artist of Kalinga, Whang-Od was a superstar in the village, her picture was in every house. She is a cultural gem. Their coffee is real good too! I bought a pack of pulverized beans for my sister, local's finest! The locals were friendly and hospitable, if you try to go up this tribe bring lots of candies for the kiddies.
This experience tried me, my patience, temper and body, to be fair I didn't know I'd be climbing up a mountain while PMSing (tmi), but I was glad to have gone through this. This was actual travel, immersive and culture is evident, you live how they live. It's challenging and fulfilling!
We only stayed overnight, on the way back home we left at 11am then stopped by Bontoc for brunch then Baguio for dinner and got back in Manila by 2am. It was the longest car ride of my life so far. I wanna thank my man for being patient with me and for making this happen.

Last year I had the privilege to experience the traditional tattooing procedure under the hands of the legendary mambabatok of Kalinga, Apo Whang-Od. We went all the way to the Buscalan Village just to see Apo.
One thing you should expect when traveling in the Cordillera region is that you will spend a considerable amount of time for trekking. Just like in Batad, reaching the barangay of Buscalan entails an hour worth of hiking. Armed by trekking poles, hats and cloth to cover our heads with, we walked under the midday sun and followed the lead of our host, Charlie Dekalidad.
Though the trail was not as challenging as the one we took in Batad, it was still long, strenuous, and exhausting. It had my heart racing, so painful I had to stop several times to catch my breath. To survive I tried to distract myself with the beautiful view and imagining myself coming face to face with one of my life's icons. After what seemed like forever, we reached the small village of Buscalan, to the sight of smiling people, black pigs walking about like they were dogs, the simple houses made of wood.
We settled ourselves in Charlie's humble abode. The guest house of the Dekalidad is a character of its own. Bones of animals, wood knickknack, and whatnot hanging by the ceiling. Charlie's family welcomed us with warmth. As we settled ourselves in our room, they served us hot Kalinga coffee, which I swear to you is one of the best I've ever tried.
After we have showered and settled our things, we went to the house of Apo Fang-Od. The old artist and her niece, Grace, were already bent on their work, inking tribal designs to another group of tourists. Seeing Apo Fang-Od in person is synonymous to the bliss you feel upon seeing your favorite celebrity; I was really excited and happy.
As we waited, we busied ourselves watching how the others winced in pain as Apo Fang-Od and Grace worked their magic on their skins. We also checked out the books that bear photos of different ethnic designs. This is the first time I've taken a tattoo without an image in mind. But it didn't take long for me to find the design that I want. It's of a cross that says to help ward off evil spirits.
Seven of us braved the pains of this tattoo technique, which was three times more painful than the modern alternative. The pain was so intense I bit my lips and inside cheeks several times to keep myself from crying out.
This was the trip where we exhausted more time for the journey than appreciating the view or getting acquainted with the life of the locals. But I consider it as the most meaningful trip I have ever had. I have been given a rare opportunity to meet a national treasure, a legend, and an artist most respected for her craft.

Why You Must Promote Your Business In A Company Online Directory
Keep in mind when company directories were big fat printed tomes as well as customers needed to permit their fingers do the strolling through the Telephone directory to locate you? Those were the moments just before the Internet was the area to go for details. Nowadays, published directories are being taken over by electronic ones as well as individuals not need to lick their fingers as well as flip forwards and backwards with web pages to search out companies offering solutions they desire.
Obviously, the great old printed company directory is still around and also it has its usages. And no, I'm not talking about utilizing it as a doorstop or placing it underneath your computer screen to raise it up a bit, I'm discussing when there is an electricity failure and also the Internet isn't really functioning. Actually, an electricity failing is about the only live a published directory site may be more useful compared to an internet based one, come to consider it.
As a storage room tree hugger, I find the net business directory to be very tree-friendly since it saves paper, as well as I mean a great deal of it! Think about all the trees you would need to print all business directory sites that are currently on the web? A great deal, so you will undoubtedly be doing the earth a favor if you decide to market your business in a free website directory like PPdirectory rather than a published on.
If this does not convince you, then think about the electronic generation that are operatively grafted to their Computers. These youngsters and some senior citizens as well, are haters of paper. They shun all kinds of paper based items, besides toilet tissue (well, we really hope so), for details which could be discovered online. It is extremely most likely that the future generation to come will certainly be even more strenuous in their avoidance of paper, so if you are not intending on advertising and marketing in an internet business directory site in the close to future then perhaps you need to revisit your choice.
Although printed business directory sites will enable you to purchase ad room so that you can make on your own be noticeable on the page among your competitors, there is more direct exposure to be had for your company in a business online directory site.
Lots of online company directory sites allow you to create your own web page so that, despite the fact that you will at first appear in a list with competitors in the exact same industry, searchers could select your hyperlink as well as will certainly either be sent out straight to your site or to a page exclusively devoted to you. This suggests that your business does not should compete for attention amongst a number of various other companies on a single printed page as holds true making use of a published directory.
Online directories that offer you your personal web page will certainly typically likewise permit you to make changes to your details on your own, so say goodbye to waiting for the yearly update to get your telephone number changed. With net directories, your details will certainly never run out date and you should not shed potential customers due to the fact that they can not acquire you. Additionally, some online directory sites have a part where they include brand-new additions to the directory site, which works as a first step for brand-new business entrances.

Die Hard: Vendetta
Review by kelias
"Quite a solid fps on xbox improvement over gc version"
Ok ok, I first started playing this game on gamecube knowing that some reviews given to it, were only rating it as an average to a well below average first person shooter. So I was only ever going to play this game as a rental and forget about it then and there. However its only because I didn't finish the game on gamecube that i continued to play it on the xbox. And boy am i glad I did....Die Hard Vendetta on Xbox is a much improved version of the same game that was released on the gamecube in 2002.
The game follows the adventures of John Mclane and is set in a fictional story and location, supposedly after the die hard movies most of us love. It's the standard first person shooter fare that doesn't stand well above the pack of current console first person shooters, but it doesn't fall to the bottom of the pile either.
Here are some points about the game I liked
+ nice graphical reflections on the guns (improved over gc)
+ good character interaction
+ Bodies and bullet holes stay
+ Excellent voicework (very funny dialogue)
+ Crude yet sometimes funny language just like the films
+ fairly good shot detection physics
+ control improved over gc version
+ hero time!!! = (slow mo like matrix or bullet time)
+ decent music
+ nice reload animations
+ You too can take baddies as hostages
And here are some not so good points
- some trial and error gameplay (ie saving hostages, bombs)
- linear path
- cutscene graphics are bland
- in multiplayer the guns arent as detailed and the reload animations are gone!
- only 3 bots max in multiplayer
- no online component
- get stuck on some corners
- few cheap ai moments
The game has about 10 or 11 levels, but they are fairly long. There are also some new additions to this version too, they include a making of Die Hard Venetta feature, a 1 - 4 mutiplayer mode with a few standard game modes like team death match, capture the badge etc. And there is also improved control and hit physics, did I mention the improved stage graphics?
There are many types of control configurations so there is bound to be a few that suits most people. You can also make the gun sit on the left side of the screen opposed to the standard right side in other games like this. And you can also choose what type of aiming cursor you want....Having just said that I have just reminded myself that one of the biggest critisisms with the gamecube version was that with auto aim turned on, the game is boring and too easy because it is too easy to kill baddies when they are miles away. Well the developers seemed to have fixed that problem in this version. Personally though I think its better to play with no aiming assistance in first person shooters at all.
At the end of the day this game wont win any awards but I enjoyed the game and recommend it to die hard first person shooter fans. It is a solid title for the action junkies out there.

re: Anologs and issues
First to the person who said busnesses don't worry about operating systems (or copy paper)... Technicly you are right.. the bricks and cement don't care about anything but the Managers are a diffrent story.
Hi, that would be me. What I meant was "corporate buyers" don't give much thought to O/S's. They buy out of habit to some extent, as you pointed out with your example of buying No.2 pencils. My point was that if you tried to convince a corporate buyer to switch O/S's their eyes would glaze over and you would lose them in 30 seconds. Their reply would be something like "Too complicated. I understand that we need 20# letter size paper. I'll shop for best price, and cross a brand off my list if their paper jams in the copier, laser printer, fax machine, etc. Operating system? Oh, is that what Windows is? Nobody else makes that so we have the Microsoft version. Applications? Is software available for anything other than Windows? Oh, yes, there is that Mac thing, but we don't use them. So we always order the Windows versions. Now, what were you saying again?" They couldn't tell you what brand of paper they bought - just that it works.
I've run a busness so I know how this works.
I know how this works too ;-) I am the IT manager for my company, and I am the biggest Linux evangelist in the building. Believe me, I know first hand the interesting conversations that get started when you put Linux on a Purchase Requisition. I put Linux online here about 4 years ago with no regrets. The secret behind my success? Sell the solution in non-technical terms. Tie the solution to the business or project goals. Provide a service that you can support. Hopefully, how it is supported is up to IT and they have bought into the benefits of Linux. Let the end users keep Windows, but convert your server solutions over to Linux where appropriate.
I can't always sell the Linux solution. Sometimes I have to decide which battles to fight, and which hills to die on. Would I suggest replacing Oracle with MySQL? Nope. But I wouldn't hesitate to replace Oracle on NT with Oracle on Linux. (Been there, done that, works great - well, great as far as Oracle goes). BTW, we like and use MySQL too.
A problem with analogies
I've learned that when I use an analogy that is too specific, the argument drifts into the details of my example and away from the point I wanted to make. I made the mistake of taking the bait provided by the original author and made a comment about Rush. See what happened? The conservatives jumped first. If Mr. Fulmer had used the Rev. Jesse Jackson for his example instead, the Liberals would have jumped first. (Did anyone else catch the pun from Rev. Williams about Matthew 7:3-4?) But this takes away from the original point. (Perhaps I should've said "office supplies" instead of copier paper ;-)
I'm fortunate to be in the IT position that I am. However, I still can't write the checks, so I'm accountable to higher management for providing solutions that work and are supportable. We are also a Solaris shop, so we have built-in Unix support. Your mileage may vary.
The Importance of Avoiding Poor Analogies to Express a Worthy Message
Is this about proper and effective Linux advocacy, or an anti Limbaugh political statement? The author seems to be unsure which of these topics he is more angry with and which is his main focus at times. Another way to make his point (assuming it is about Linux advocacy) would be to compare the O/S holy wars to the politicl climate and debate in general.
His lead comments about Limbaugh specifically, and Conservatism generally, are incorrect. I believe they hurt rather than help the analogy. Referring to Windows advocates and users as "weenies" seems to contradict his own message. So, is this really just a political statement from the author?
Let me offer a dissenting opinion about some of the author's statements:
> (You know he'd [limbaugh] be a Windows advocate. Give your code away? That smells of communism.)
Rush has claimed to primarily use a Mac. Open source is (partially) about competition in an open market with peer review and support of freely available source code. The best software survives without subsidy. Many Linux distributers also sell what they give away and provide support and consulting services for revenue. I smell no communism here. I doubt Limbaugh would either.
> (My theory: If people are screwing off on the Internet, then they remain at their desk where work is accomplished...)
We refer to these employees as being "Retired In Place." Screwing off is screwing off whether you are at your desk, the mail room, the paint shop, or assembly line. These employees are clueless as to why opportunities seem to pass them by, and begin to deeply resent "the system."
> The reality is this: IT buying decisions have been taken away from the people most qualified to make them. If you want to use Linux at work, you'll have to play by the rules, and the rules are different for technical people than they are for corporate buyers. Business people think this about technical people: What do they know about business?
Well, what DO we know about business? Most businesses do not exist to provide an environment for geeks to live in. Unless IT is a part of your company's core competency, the corporate buyers don't care about O/S's any more than they care where the copier/printer paper comes from. As long as it gets the job done effectively in a cost effective manner, why should they care more about it? If Windows applications are available to meet all of their needs, why should they put another computer on someone's desk to do cool Linux stuff, and keep the Windows system to do "business" stuff? Sounds like another expense to me, and to the business. (I actually have Linux running VMware on my laptop, so I can be effective and add value in both worlds).
The easiest way to bring Linux into a business is to explain the value of open source projects to the IT folks. You need their buy-in, so to speak, for support of "free" systems. IT budgets frequently are very tight. Given the chance to provide IT services without making a dent in the scarce IT budget would seem to be a no brainer, politics aside. You must follow the IT rules. Without their support, you are an undefensible nuisance and security risk.
> Business people need to be deluged with....
"Business people" (in your company) don't need to be deluged with anything. A concise and accurate business proposal showing costs and benefits should be succssful when compared to a more expensive proprietery proposal - as long as you get your facts straight and tie the solution into the needs of your company. If that doesn't work, you are dealing with a political environment where a deluge of information will never help anyway.
> As Al Franken said, Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot.
And the author closes as he began. What does this have to do with anything??? Unfortunately he has laced his editorial with exactly the same kind of rhetoric that he condems.
Mr. Fullmer, I agree with your concern for proper Linux advocacy. However, your analogy needs a little work.
A tool for securing DNS communications between a client and a DNS resolver.
A polyhedral extraction tool (PET).

Cops: Woman Caught on Video Trying to Kill Her 2-Month-Old Kid With a Chunk of Concrete
A 19-year-old woman was arrested Friday night after police acquired a video of her trying to murder her 2-month-old daughter with a big piece of concrete, according to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
MCSO Deputy Becky Herrin says investigators from the Florida Department of Children and Families turned over the video to the sheriff's office Friday afternoon, which reportedly captured Elizabeth Garcia attempting to bludgeon her baby with the concrete.
The incident occurred in Marathon on August 18, and Herrin says the video shows witnesses stopping Garcia from trying to bring down the concrete onto her daughter's head.
Herrin says that on the video, Garcia had her daughter in one arm and a "large piece" of concrete in her other hand.
Upcoming Events
A witness attempted to take the child away from Garcia, but Garcia wouldn't give her up -- at which point Garcia started to swing the big chunk of concrete right at her daughter's face, Herrin says.
Two men nearby stopped the concrete from making contact with Garcia's baby, and the other woman forcefully pried the kid out of Garcia's arm.
Later that day, sheriff's deputies went to Garcia's residence -- although police don't say whether it's related to the concrete incident -- and Garcia was arrested after allegedly pulling a knife on a couple of deputies.
No one at the residence mentioned to the cops that Garcia had just tried to kill her baby with a big piece of concrete, so after being released from jail on the concealed weapons charge, Garcia was arrested again Friday after the sheriff's office discovered the video.
Garcia is charged with attempted murder of a child and child abuse and is currently being held in jail on $200,000 bond, according to the sheriff's office.

SSA Scholarships for Student Activists Winners
Secular Student Alliance scholarships are intended to further empower recipients to participate in secular activism during their academic career. We are interested in students with creative activism plans, ambitious goals, or compelling stories.
So what do we mean by 'activism'? To us, activism is any activity that spreads secular values and normalizes secular identity. While activism can include large-scale projects like spreading the word on social issues, education issues, community building, and similar projects, it can also consist of more personal actions like opening up to your family and being visibly secular within your community and campus. Actions like these have impact, and so we want to encourage these types of activism!

SSA Ambassador Award
The Secular Student Alliance Ambassador Award is an annual award, introduced in 2015, given to a Secular Student Alliance donor (outside of our board or staff) who best serves as an ambassador for the organization. Such an ambassador repeatedly shares the story of why the SSA matters and is worthy of support with as many people as possible.

SSA Best Awards
From 2004-2012, the Secular Student Alliance presented awards to those affiliates that excelled in a particular area. These awards included an attractive plaque, a cash prize for the group to put toward future endeavors, and an invitation to present at our annual conference.
The Best Awards offered mirrored the Secular Student Alliance's four focus areas: Education, Service, Activism, and Community. We also offered an Affiliate of the Year award to one college group and one high school group.
Since then, we have ended this program in order to recognize the achievements of all SSA affiliate groups in a more fair and equal manner. Whether a group is at a small or large school, high school or college, community college or traditional college; all SSA affiliate groups are doing awesome things and should be recognized as doing such.

Quantum-confined Stark effect and recombination dynamics of spatially indirect excitons in MBE-grown GaN-AlGaN quantum wells
We analyze the low-temperature photoluminescence decay times, for a series of MBE-grown samples embedding GaN-AlGaN quantum wells. We investigate a variety of configurations in terms of well widths, barrier widths and overall strain states. We find that not only the wells but also the barriers are submitted to large built-in electric fields. In the case of narrow barriers (5 nm), these fields favor the nonradiative escape of carriers from narrow wells into wider wells. When all wells have the same width, the field in such narrow barriers allow us to observe the recombination of long-lived "inter-well" excitons at energies close to those of the short-lived "intra-well" excitons. Our results also prove that the energies and the dynamics of excitonic recombinations depend on the parameters of the heterostructures in a complicated way, due to the interplay of piezoelectric and spontaneous polarizations.

What Happened Seconds After They Took This 'Selfie' Is Horrifying. There Are No Words.
This past friday morning, four friends in Beirut, Lebanon met up to hang out and, more or less, do what ordinary 16-year-olds do. One of them decided to take a 'selfie' photo of the group. What happened next is beyond horrific.
The terrorist attack was targeting a leading Lebanese political official. Mohamad Chatah, the country's former finance minister and a foreign policy advisor to Prime Minister Saad Hariri were both killed in the attack. In total, 8 people, including Mohammad al-Chaar from the photo, were killed. At least 70 others were wounded.
A user on Reddit, named goodbatch, commenting after viewing the photos above said it perfectly:
"This photo makes me think and feel so many different things – and they're all pretty much terrible. Anger, for the senseless loss of an innocent young life that was full of promise for the future. Sadness, at the grief that his friends and family must be feeling. Then sadness multiplied when I extend this thought to include the other victims of the attack. Of all terrorist attacks. But above all I feel fear, for my own life, in the context of this unstoppable human culture of horrific violence. Even living in a relatively safe country, this makes me think of my own mortality. Because I live in a world where normal people commit unspeakable acts of evil because they believe it is justified, where I could be collateral damage in a person's quest for martyrdom and glory, and where large-scale political agendas overshadow the tremendous and irreplaceable value of a single person's little life. All this from a boy in a red sweatshirt. May he rest in peace."
Everything can change in a moment. Sometimes, the world is an unfair, horrifying place to be.
You can read more about the bombing here.

Paul Ferguson has one selection for us on Wednesday; Fox Appeal in the Fontwell 16:00. Compare odds and bet.
Fontwell's 32Red.com Novices' Hurdle looks a decent event, but the race of the day is without doubt the same sponsors' beginners' chase 35 minutes later, in which a case can be made for the majority of the seven runners.
Ohio Gold brings decent chase form to the table, but faces several interesting recruits, including Heronry, Black Thunder, Baby Shine and Fox Appeal (4:00), and, given the form of his stable and his course form over hurdles, preference is for the latter.
A winner here almost two years ago, the son of Brian Boru twice finished in front of Black Thunder (who does look a chaser to be fair) last season, including when beating Coral Cup winner Medinas at Kempton.
He was weighted out of things after that, but should return to winning ways over fences this term and, despite the strength of this contest, he is worth siding with on debut.
At the likely prices, the aforementioned Baby Shine warrants plenty of respect, as Lucy Wadham's mare is another who has the scope to do well over fences and should travel strongly in behind. She is certainly likely to outrun her double-figure tissue odds and a bold show could be a pointer to her exciting stable-mate, Le Reve, later in the week.
Wednesday's selection:
16:00 Fontwell: Fox Appeal; 5/2 @ Betvictor

Whitehair Added to Lombardi Award Watch List
Whitehair Added to Lombardi Award Watch List
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State senior offensive lineman Cody Whitehair was one of 34 players nationally to be added to the watch list for the 2015 Rotary Lombardi Award during the award's final update, the Rotary Lombardi Award Committee announced Tuesday.
Whitehair is now a member of the Lombardi Award watch list for a second-consecutive season, while his honor marks the sixth Wildcat to be up for the award since 2012.
A product of Abilene, Kansas, Whitehair picked up Preseason All-America and All-Big 12 honors entering 2015 after starting 38 of his 39 career games, including all 13 games at left tackle in 2014. He was an integral part of a 2014 K-State offensive that tallied 30 rushing touchdowns, the 10th most in school history. The Wildcat offense ranked in the top 25 in nine categories, including team passing efficiency (11th), red zone offense (14th) and passing offense (16th).
Eligibility for the Rotary Lombardi Award is limited to down linemen, end-to-end, either on offense or defense, who set up no farther than 10 yards to the left or right of the ball, or linebackers who set up no farther than five yards deep from the line up scrimmage.
Semifinalist for the award will be chosen on November 5, while finalists will be announced on November 19. The 46th Rotary Lombardi Award winner will be announced on December 9, at the Bayou Music Center in Houston, Texas.
Kansas State opens the 2015 season next Saturday, September 5, with a 6:10 p.m., contest against South Dakota. The game will be shown world-wide on K-StateHD.TV beginning with "K-State Gameday" at 5:10 p.m., hosted by Brian Smoller and former K-State greats Ian Campbell and Nick Leckey.
All reserved seating for the first four home games is sold out as the Wildcats close in on a season sellout and run their consecutive sellout streak to 27 games. Only scattered single seats remain for the Baylor and West Virginia games, while general admission tickets are still available for the Iowa State game. Standing-room only tickets are still available for every home game in 2015 with the exception of the Baylor contest.
Fans who wish to purchase standing-room only tickets and the remaining available seats for the Baylor, Iowa State and West Virginia games can do so by contacting the K-State Athletics Ticket Office at www.k-statesports.com/tickets or 1-800-221-CATS.
For other reserved seating options, fans are encouraged to visit Vivid Seats, the official ticket reseller of K-State Athletics. Fans can contact Vivid Seats at www.vividseats.com/k-state or by calling 1-866-848-8499.
Although reserved seating is sold out for a majority of the 2015 home games, visiting teams will have opportunities to return unused tickets up to a month prior to their visit. Stay tuned to www.k-statesports.com for information regarding returned ticket availability. All returned tickets will be sold at the full public rate and season ticket wait list accounts will have first opportunity to purchase.

I am commonly asked by Nashville DUI and criminal defense client's what they should wear to court. I tell all client's that it is better to be "over-dressed" than "under-dressed" and suggest they wear something along the lines of what would be considered business casual dress or nicer. For most court appearances, I advise men to wear a collared shirt, slacks (not jeans) and leather shoes. A coat and/or tie is good but not necessary for most court appearances. There are some court appearances where I do recommend coat and tie. I advise the equivalent of this dress for women – conservative skirt or pants, non-athletic shoes and conservative top. It is also important to note that most courts have dress codes. Here are links to the Davidson County General Sessions and Criminal Court Dress Code Policies.
Where Can I Find Out How To Reinstate My Tennessee Drivers License That Has Been Revoked Or Suspended?
Reinstating a license can be an expensive and complicated process depending on the reason(s) for your suspension. It often involves clearing hurdles with both local and state offices. The best place to start is on the Department of Safety's website where you can enter your license information and receive a summary of what their records show you need to do. (Note, you can proceed through the menu of options to print out a list of the requirements to reinstate your license without paying any fees up front.)
If you or someone you know has lost their license and have questions regarding reinstatement laws in Tennessee, contact Criminal Attorney Russell Thomas at 615-620-0891. Let him help answer your questions.
Where Can I Get An Ignition Interlock Device Installed In My Car?
If you are court ordered to install an ignition interlock device on your car, you must use a state certified provider. For a link to a directory of all certified providers in the state, click here. If you or someone you know has recently received a DUI and has questions regarding possible implications, contact Attorney Russell Thomas at 615-620-0891 for a free consultation.
What Is An Alcohol And Drug Safety DUI School?
This is a 16 hour state-certified program required of all people convicted of a Tennessee DUI. This is a separate requirement from a victim impact panel. There are various certified providers throughout the state, but if you were convicted of a Nashville DUI, you will likely be required to attend the one administered by the Davidson County Sheriff's Department. To find information about that school, click here. To search for other Tennessee DUI schools, click here.
Have you recently been convicted of a DUI in Tennessee and have questions regarding upcoming requirements? If so, contact Attorney Russell Thomas at 615-620-0891 for a free consultation.
What Is A Victim Impact Panel?
The requirement to attend a victim impact panel is a common condition of a sentence in a Nashville DUI case. These are usually produced by Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and are offered periodically at various locations in Nashville and throughout Tennessee. The program consists of a panel presentation by crime victims telling personal stories of how they were affected by impaired driving accidents. For more information including fees, times and locations of classes, visit MADD's Website for more information.
Have you recently received a sentence after a DUI case in Tennessee and have questions regarding the conditions of the sentence? If so, contact Attorney Russell Thomas at 615-620-0891 for a free consultation.
What Are The Penalties For Driving On A Cancelled, Suspended or Revoked License?
A person convicted for driving while their license is canceled, suspended or revoked is guilty of a class B misdemeanor in Tennessee. This means they face a sentence of up to six months, a fine of up to $500, or both. Absent any aggravating factors, there is no mandatory minimum jail time meaning that a person could receive a purely suspended or probated sentence. However, if the license was canceled, suspended or revoked because of a prior DUI, vehicular homicide or vehicular assault, the punishment must include at least two days of jail time and the fine could go up to $1000. If the person has been court ordered to maintain an ignition interlock device in their car and was caught driving without it, there is a mandatory minimum seven days of jail sentence.
If a person has a prior conviction for driving on a canceled, suspended or revoked license the penalty increases. Upon conviction with a prior, the person would now be guilty of a class A misdemeanor which carries a maximum sentence of 11 months and 29 days, and an increased fine up to $3000.
If the person's license is canceled, suspended or revoked because of a second or subsequent DUI, vehicular homicide or vehicular assault, there is a mandatory minimum sentence of 45 days to serve in jail.
If you or someone you know has recently been arrested for driving on a cancelled, suspended, or revoked license, and has questions regarding the upcoming legal proceedings, contact Nashville Attorney Russell Thomas at 615-620-0891 for a free consultation.
What Is The Punishment For Underage DWI In Tennessee?
Important Update. The Law in Tennessee has recently changed regarding this statute. Stay tuned for an updated entry on the new law.
If someone under the age of 21 is convicted for DWI in Tennessee, they face a fine, possible community service work, and a one-year license revocation. Someone charged with DWI in Tennessee may qualify for a pretrial diversion program, which might allow them to resolve their case without having a permanent conviction entered against them and with the opportunity to have that charge expunged.
It is important to note, however, that persons under 21 may also be charged with DUI in Tennessee and face the same punishments as those over 21.
Have you recently been charged with underage DWI in Tennessee and are concerned about the legal proceedings? If so, call Attorney Russell Thomas at 615-620-0891 for answers to any questions you may have.
What Is The Difference Between DUI And DWI In Tennessee?
For many years, Tennessee recognized separate crimes of driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI). DWI was considered a less serious offense and carried less punishment than DUI. DWI was not punishable by jail time, carried no probationary period or any other punishment other than fine and license suspension. Several years ago the Tennessee legislature abolished the offense of DWI for persons over the age of 21.
If you or someone you know has recently received a DUI or DWI in Tennessee and has questions regarding the possible legal implications, contact Nashville Criminal Lawyer Russell Thomas at 615-620-0891 for a free consultation.
Please note this original post was updated in 2016 to reflect a change in the law since the original posting.
If A Probation Violation Has Been Filed Against Me, Do I Still Need To Report To My Probation Officer?
Yes, since you still are on probation unless and until a Judge tells you otherwise. And, if your probation officer has specifically asked you to continue reporting and do anything else, you need to do it. If you fail to report now, your probation officer could file an amended warrant and add an additional failure to report if you miss a meeting. If a probation violation warrant has been filed against you, the court needs to decide two things. One, the Judge decides whether you did in fact violate your probation. Two, if you did violate your probation, the Judge decides the appropriate punishment. The Court could then give you another chance and reinstate your probation, make you serve out your entire sentence, or anything in between. The Court could also extend your probation.
Judges usually consider how you have been doing on probation and how serious the violations are when deciding the punishment. For example, a Judge may weigh a new arrest more seriously than being behind on paying fines and court costs. Or, a Judge may consider you reporting a few days late less serious than not reporting for a couple of months. The Judge can find you in violation for breaking any of the rules of probation, and has broad discretion on imposing a punishment. However, the above mentioned things are often considered.
Are you having difficulties with your probation or believe you may have accidentally violated your probation? If so, contact the Law Office of Russell Thomas at 615-620-0891 for the answers you need.
What Is A "Discussion" Court Date?
If the case is in Nashville, a "discussion" court setting is usually a court date at which the lawyers on both sides are expected to discuss the case – particularly the possibility and terms of settlement. There are usually no other motions or hearings of any sort on a discussion date. If a settlement is reached that involves a guilty plea, the judge could take that plea on a discussion date. If you are involved in a criminal court case and would like to talk with a professional about how to best handle your case, feel free to call Nashville Attorney Russell Thomas at 615-620-0891. He will help you navigate the sometimes difficult legal waters.
