ANYTHING Audi can do, Volkswagen can do cheaper. It is all about image and perception and the implied need to keep customers thinking they need to pay more for an Audi.
Seen here is the Passat Alltrack, VW's in-house alternative to an Audi A4 Allroad. Just one trim level is available in the UK, with a choice from a 2.0-litre 138bhp diesel with six-speed manual gearbox, priced at £28,475 and a 2.0-litre 168bhp version with six-speed DSG transmission, at £31,025.
Standard equipment includes Alcantara upholstery, twin zone electronic climate control, touchscreen satellite navigation, DAB radio, iPod connectivity, Bluetooth telephone preparation, cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring and 18-inch Canyon alloy wheels. A Driver alert system that monitors the driver's responses to raise awareness of fatigue is also standard, as is ESP.
Alltrack's 4MOTION four-wheel drive and raised ride height give it greater ability off-road, with some added body protection from scrapes. It arrives in the shops on May 28.
One model which could lose sales to this all-terrain Passat is Subaru's Outback, in need of a revamp. The Japanese 4x4 experts have just announced changes to the Legacy Tourer estate on which the Outback is based. The most important change is Subaru's new Boxer diesel engine (already in Forester and XV and coming to the Outback, too).
This Euro 5-compliant flat-four engine has a more efficient turbocharger, new exhaust-camshaft timing and lighter connecting rods, and is mated with new oxidation catalytic converters and diesel particulate filter.
The result is an improvement in fuel economy of more than seven per cent, to 49.6mpg, while CO2 emissions are cut to 149g/km. The latter drops the car's VED band to level F, saving £35 per year. Output is 145bhp and 258 lb-ft for 0-62mph in 9.6 seconds.
Suspension modifications for all 2012 Legacy models bring new bushing front and rear to improve ride comfort and new upper rear suspension arms saving 2kg per car.
Diesel prices open at £26,680.

Adding to the monster roster is American electronicore band I SEE STA RS, widely considered as a pioneering electronicore band and recognized as one of the very first bands to fuse elements of post-hardcore and metalcore music with an eclectic electronic sound dating back to 2006. Completing the international line up is Australi an progressive metal band GODS OF EDEN. Considered by Slam devotees as The Three Kings of Pinoy Heavy Rock, WILA BA LIW, GREYHOUNDZ and SLA PSHOCK are back as local headliners while RA ZORBACK, KJWA N and the Red Horse Beer Pambansang Muziklaba n 2016 Winner supports the local line up.

2nd subi in 10 months
By Soobi-tlc on
Vehicle2008 Subaru Tribeca Limited 5-Pass 4dr SUV AWD w/Nav (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
ReviewTraded in my problematic Audi Allroad finally. We're very impressed with our 08 LL Bean Outback 3.0L that we bought in April. So I tested the Tribeca. I didn't like the interior design too much - spacey. I looked at all the other CUV/SUVs and other wagons that were so much more. Thought about used MDX. Liked the new Subi better. Agree with all comments on stupid nav system. They can fix that by issuing a new software update if they're smart. I'm getting 19mpg on 87octane buzzing around town and commuting 42 miles each way a day. The car has 1750 miles and will improve. Overall very comfortable and pleased. Driving in Sport only helps performance.
Best FeaturesQuiet. Smooth. Nice handling and breaking. Nice seating - should be aerated like LL Bean models. Fantastic reputation. Much much nicer looks. Simple clean lines. XM radio. No more blind spots. Door closing is solid.
Worst FeaturesTinny speakers. Rear view mirrors, albeit great size, have poor windage and get very dirty. Trip meter button terrible placing. Revamp nav software. More frontal storage. HID headlamps. Better fog lamps - they're currently worthless.

Trips and itineraries can be tailored to each guest's needs and desires, which could mean a visit to one of the other Channel Islands, a hop over to France or a simple tour around the island. Wherever Fizz Too goes, there is also the chance of spotting dolphins and seals.
The 42 is one of Princess's most successful models. With two en-suite cabins, a luxurious saloon, a spacious fly bridge and a watersports friendly cockpit, Fizz Too is powerful yet graceful. Her hull is designed to offer a peerless blend of speed, agility and efficiency, all of which combine to ensure an effortless passage wherever guests choose to venture.
The staff at Longueville Manor will be able to adapt each trip to every guest. For example, private yoga lessons under the Channel Island sun can be offered on deck with OmShanti's Lisa McCabe, Jersey's best wellness guru, for those looking to keep fit while they indulge.
Known to be a perfect country bolthole to de-stress, unwind and be pampered, Longueville Manor also offers the option of taking its boutique spa to sea. A range of relaxing treatments from signature skincare brand REN will be available on board, as well as the latest addition to The Cottage Garden spa at Longueville Manor, the de Mamiel Rhythm of Nature Holistic Facial.
A full day charter will include a delicious seafood and charcuterie lunch with sweet treats, whilst a half day includes a selection of snacks. The yacht is catered by Executive Chef Andrew Baird, who takes inspiration from the abundant local produce from both land and sea in Jersey. Both full and half days include Champagne, wine and a selection of hot and cold beverages.
Daily rates aboard Fizz Too (based on two passengers) start from £1200 for a half day charter. Each additional passenger is £75, half price for children under the age of 10 (maximum 8 persons). A full day charter starts from £1700.
A Fizz Too charter is fully insured with a highly experienced and qualified RYA commercial skipper together with one member of crew, allowing guests to sit back and enjoy a day on the sea. There is the provision of fully serviced life jackets, life rafts and every security precaution as required by law for commercial charter. Itineraries are dependent on weather and tidal conditions and can therefore be changed or cancelled in order to respect regulations and the wellbeing of guests and crew.
Fizz Too is available between the 1st of May and the 31st of October
Yacht season begins at Longueville Manor

Getting Results from ReVolutions, not ReSolutions: The Value Creation Conversation
Revolutions are typically associated with anarchy, but I want you to look at this literally – as something that moves in a cycle. This type of revolution is practical, actionable, and sustainable, because it becomes as automatic as doing your email every day – you don't even have to think about it, schedule it, or put it on your well-intentioned to-do list. A Value Creation Conversation is easier to achieve than you think. With practice, it just happens as part of the way you work.
Most business leaders spend a minimum of 90 minutes every day doing email… many spend much longer. That's almost 400 hours per year, or 10 valuable weeks of your time, assuming you work a 40-hour work week (are you laughing at the thought?).
No, I'm not going to tell you that you should be doing less email, because email, voice mail, texts and more are all a part of doing business in our always-on world. However, doing email NEVER moves the needle in your business unless you're in order entry. All I'm going to suggest is that you will really move the needle in your business by committing just 90 minutes once per week – a fraction of the time that you spend on email. Ready?
When I speak to thousands of business leaders across the country each year, most tell me that they know they should be getting out in front of their customers more often… and most say they don't make the time to do it. Others tell me that they are pretty good at getting out there, but that the ride-alongs and meet-and-greets really don't seem to be a valuable use of their time.
This year, one Revolution I want to share with you, simply requires you to get out from behind your desk and have a meaningful Value Creation Conversation with a customer just once a week.
One of the easiest ways to almost effortlessly increase revenues, identify costly sludge in your systems, and increase loyalty and retention is simply to pay attention to your customers in a way that has nothing to do with pitching product and everything to do with building trust and credibility. It starts with getting out from behind your desk and meeting with them 1-1 at an executive level. I've never seen this fail to increase goodwill and generate more business almost immediately.

Lately I've been running across the term "Augmented Reality". It's been popping up in the news, on the web, in various blog posts, and in white papers. I even saw it on a billboard as I was driving to the office. What the heck does this term, Augmented Reality (AR), mean?
Well, I'm here to tell you. Let's break it apart.
First, AR, as I describe it in this post, pertains to a type of software application (app) that can usually be found running on mobile devices. Think smart phones here. Myself, being an iOS software engineer, will be primarily referring to Apple iOS devices in this post. Although, there are AR apps that run on Android, Windows Phone, and many other types of mobile device operating systems.
By the way, for those of you who may not know, iOS is the name of Apple's mobile device operating system. So, a mobile device running iOS is either an iPhone, iPod Touch, or an iPad. Android is, of course, the name of Google's mobile device operating system, and Windows Phone is Microsoft's mobile device operating system.
First, let's consider the word "reality". The "reality" part of AR refers to the aspect of the software application that provides a display of the real world to the user. This usually comes in the form of the live video camera feed. Although, I don't see any reason why a real world feed couldn't come from the audio mic. Just as long as the feed provides a close representation of what the user is actually seeing or hearing in the real world. Most AR applications currently in existence augment the mobile device's video display.
Now let's consider the second word, "Augmented". According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, to augment something is "to make greater, more numerous, larger, or more intense". In the case of an augmented reality app, it is most likely going to be the mobile device's video display that is made more "intense". That is, the real-time video display is going to be augmented in such a way that additional, computer-provided data will be inserted into the video display. This computer generated data usually pertains to objects and / or people that appear in the video display. The data is often displayed in the form of graphical images that overly the video display. An example of an AR app is one that shows the constellations of stars when the user points the mobile device video camera towards the sky.
Another example of an AR app is one which displays to the user a computer generated image of a business, such as a coffee shop or a hardware store, as the user is viewing the urban environment through the video camera. The image appears as an overlay over the video camera screen and shows the direction and distance to the business. It could also show some information about the business such as hours when open and any coupons or specials that might be in effect. The CIBER Mobility Practice designs and programs these types of apps for various clients and also for proof-of-concept demonstration purposes.
There is a third part to the AR equation which is just as important, if not more so, and that is how to connect the "reality" part to the "augmented" part. For instance, how does the constellation app, as shown above, know where and how to insert and position the graphic images over the video display? This is where the mobile device's built-in sensor hardware comes into play. Many of the newer mobile devices, such as the Apple iPhone and iPad, now come with various environment sensors built-in. These would be device location sensors such as GPS and cell phone tower triangulation. Device position sensors such as a gyroscope and accelerometer and device direction sensors such as a magnetic compass.
Even newer versions of mobile devices, for instance the upcoming iPhone 5, may have Near Field Communication (NFC) sensors built in. One such type of sensor is called Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and is very useful for allowing a mobile device to acquire data on objects within its proximity. In order to sense RFID data, an RFID transmitter device is needed. Data pertaining to an object is programmed into the RFID transmitter device and the device is then attached to the object. Any mobile device within the proximity of the transmitting RFID device would then be able to automatically receive the RFID device data and thereby acquire information pertaining to the object upon which the RFID device is attached. Applications of this technology are often used for warehouse inventory control systems.
By using the device sensor data in combination with data stored on a remote network server, AR app software engineers are able to create sophisticated AR apps such as the constellation app.
I hope this article has been helpful in helping the reader to better understand what augmented reality is and what the future possibilities of the technology are. AR apps are still very much a new technology and mobile devices have just recently emerged with the required environment sensors and computer processing power needed to realize AR apps.
As a mobile device software engineer in the CIBER Global Mobility Practice, I find AR apps to be one of the most exciting types of mobile device software to work on and I look forward to helping to realize the future potential of this new technology.
This is the second article that you have written which I have read. Let me say at the outset you are an excellent writer. Easy to read and follow with exceptional clarity. You pretty much anticipate and address questions. Please write a book on the topic of apps programming for beginners. I will be your first customer.
I am glad to catch idea from your article. This looks absolutely perfect. All these tinny details are made with lot of background information. I found so many interesting in your blog especially on how to determine the topic. Keep it up.

Card grid layouts, made popular by Pintrest, Facebook, and Twitter, are becoming a fast-growing trend in web design, and have almost turned into the go-to format for nearly every website. They organize information in neat, little boxes, and they give any website a clean, minimalistic look. However, card grids are not just aesthetically pleasing, but also very useful as they work beautifully on any type of device.
Card grid layouts are used in a variety of different mediums, as they are perfect for organizing large amounts of content. Used in flat design, pin-style design, and in print, they separate images, text, and headlines so that the information is presented in a clear and simple manner. Each block of information is like a separate thought bubble that helps the reader organize their own thoughts as they scan through a website or magazine. This trend falls under the "container-style design," and it is highly responsive, as it can easily adjust to any changes that are made.
Furthermore, card grid layouts are incredibly popular due to their compatibility with responsive frameworks and mobile devices. This way, a website won't look any different on a phone than on a desktop, which creates consistency that's is highly important and desirable in the web design world. Additionally, card-based layouts require little or no restructuring because of their ability to easily adapt to changes in screen size.
In this article, we're presenting 40 beautiful websites with card grid layouts that we find absolutely stunning. Card grids are truly the web design trend of the future, and will continue to grow in popularity for years to come. If you're a designer, we highly encourage you to adopt this framework, as it will facilitate your work and organize all the elements of your website in a beautiful and neat way, and it will give you free rein over the flow of information, as you'll be able to organize everything in whichever order makes more sense to you. Enjoy and let us know what you think in the comment section below!

Some Stanthorpe residents told to evacuate
Authorities are urging people in low-lying areas of Stanthorpe, south of Toowoomba on the Granite Belt in southern Queensland, to evacuate their homes as soon as possible.
About 12 homes were inundated yesterday when floodwaters rose in Quart Pot creek and police expect the water will rise again today.
Residents in the Southern Downs towns of Allora and Killarney are also on alert as heavy rain continues to lash the region.
Mayor Ron Bellingham says Warwick is expecting its second major flood in three weeks.
"We'd have had perhaps 20 to 30 businesses and 150 homes were affected," he said.
"[We're] certainly fearful of that happening again."

Tomb of the Sea Kings - In Print and PDF From Lulu
For those that were asking (after my mini review) "where can I get a copy of Tomb of the Sea Kings?" OSRToday found the answer. It is apparently available on Lulu. I don't believe that was an option when I wrote the review last week, but it certainly is now.
So, why wait to next year's NTRPG Con? Grab your copy of Tomb of the Sea Kings today... or tomorrow.
Just for looking, here's the current Lulu.com coupon code, good for 15% off - FWD15

I have been a long time user of Outlook Express to browse and answer IIS newsgroup posts.
To be clear, that is about all I use Outlook Express for. And I run Outlook Express in a pretty locked down and minimalist fashion:
- I login as unprivileged and non-admin user
- The Internet Zone is hand locked down
- All messages are plain text - no HTML, auto-loading of images, scripts, always use my fonts, etc
- I do not even auto-preview the messages and have to manually press <space> to load/view messages based on message header interest
I know, I know, I am probably the "weirdo" 1% of the classic user persona population that uses software the way s/he works, not the way the software expects. Tough. 😛
So, I decided to give Mozilla Thunderbird a try. After all, I had a lot of fun using Mozilla FireFox recently and love the fact that I can xcopy my user settings, including cookie and cache directory, from one computer to another by simply copying a directory tree. That is the one killer feature for me because now I can easily rebuild and test beta OSes without losing my settings. But I digress from the topic of Thunderbird...
I admit that I may be a neophyte at using Thunderbird functionality, but after a couple of days using it (and looking through all its options) to perform my dedicated task of browsing and answering IIS newsgroup posts, I remain unimpressed. At this time, I simply cannot do my task of monitoring a newsgroup within Thunderbird more effectively than Outlook Express.
Now, before people knee-jerk and go jumping all over me for not giving glowing reviews of Thunderbird (I remember you crazy zealots from my recent Security discussion involving Apache and IIS that kept dragging things off-topic), remember that I am NOT saying that Thunderbird is inferior in quality, has less whiz-bang features, or is less secure than Outlook Express. Honestly, I like the general feature set that I see in Thunderbird, I love the rules/filter engine (I use it extensively in Outlook and Thunderbird is similar), and I recognize where it gives those extra little creature comforts that I have come to like (for example, quote/signature location relative to reply, offline newsgroups), and there is a simple RSS reader to boot.
In other words, I am really trying to figure out how to effectively do in Thunderbird what I currently do easily in Outlook Express. Maybe I am using it all wrong to do what I want to do; I would love to hear comments on how to do the following effectively.
The key tasks that I must perform with the aid of a newsgroup reader are:
- Identify newsgroup threads where I participated with a post
- Identify any new posts to newsgroup threads that I participated in
- Identify newsgroup thread with any new posts specifically in response to a post I made
- Identify newsgroup threads that I want to watch but have not participated with a post
I think what makes my usage scenario different is that I do NOT use the newsgroup reader as a "consumer" of information. I do not use the reader to search, filter, or otherwise aggregate information from the mountains of posts. Instead, I use the newsgroup reader as a communications assistant to help me "produce" and manage information that I have produced.
In other words, I do not initiate nor post questions; I only post answers in response to user questions. As a person that monitors newsgroups, it is very important for me to identify which threads I have participated in, whether there is any new activity (posts) on those threads, and ideally, whether anyone directly replied to my response so that I should reply back to them first. Only after taking care of answering existing threads do I even start to search/filter through my newsgroups of interest to look for new questions. And I basically go through this process a couple of different times throughout the day whenever I get at least a 30 minute block of time.
So for me, the killer feature in Outlook Express that is missing in Thunderbird is the "Ctrl-H" feature, whereby Outlook Express toggles the displayed messages based purely on whether I have participated in a given thread or not. This single feature allows me to:
- Quickly identify all newsgroup threads (in collapsed form) where I have responded at least somewhere
- If the collapsed thread is Bolded, that tells me that some new activity has happened to a thread I am involved in so I should pay attention
- However, it does NOT tell me whether the new activity is in direct response to my post or any other post in the thread. So, prioritization of threads to answer is not really satisfactory
- And of course, I toggle "Ctrl-H" to switch to display all threads and then simply start marking and answering threads I am interested in
At this point in time, I simply do not know how to effectively accomplish these tasks in Thunderbird. Alrighty, now you all know what I am looking for and where I stand on things... 😉

Spectrum deadline: Agreeing to harmonise
International Telecommunications Union (ITU) made it clear: The deadline was not postponed for the digital switchover, even if some countries did not meet it. By 17th June 2015, Europe, Middle East and Africa (Region 1) were supposed to meet the deadline set by the ITU for television stations in the region 1 to migrate from analogue broadcasting to digital terrestrial television (DTT), to allocate the digital dividend to the mobile service for the 700 MHz.
"The switchover from analogue to digital broadcasting will create new distribution networks and expand the potential for wireless innovation and services," said Houlin Zhao, ITU Secretary General."New efficiencies in spectrum usage will allow more television channels to be carried across the airwaves and lead to greater convergence of services."
When regulators align their mobile-sector spectrum with international band plans, mobile devices can be built less expensively because a single device model can be manufactured for many countries, driving prices down due to the economies of scale, as the GSMA explains. This brings more products and services to more people, while allowing people to use their mobile phones cheaply and easily when travelling abroad. Moreover, interference along national borders is reduced when mobile bands are harmonised between countries, the organisation adds.
For Peter Lyons, director of Middle East and North Africa at GSMA and member of the spectrum policy team at this organisation, spectrum seems the centre of the challenges for operators. He believes that deciding where to allocate spectrum in the future will determine the future of the telecoms sector for customers and operators.
The disparity in the penetration rate in the Middle East and Africa region is also linked to spectrum, as Lyons explains. Affordability when buying a smartphone and subscribing to a service is the main driver to improve the telecom market and develop the networks.
The GSMA has stated in different occasions that not all countries did not follow established harmonised technical rules on the allocation of 790–862MHz band. As countries are not following the recommendations, they did not meet the deadline imposed by the ITU.
"All countries in the ME were trying their best to make more and more spectrum available to the operators," said Tariq Al-Awadhi, executive director Spectrum Affairs at Spectrum Affairs Department at UAE TRA.
Lyons believe that the GCC worked towards the deadline and set the UAE as the example, all broadcaster made the shift by December 2014. "In Central Africa, for example, they are not doing anything for obvious reasons, because of their civil war, so this issue is deprioritise," he added.
Some countries are not financially ready for this change, Lyons explains that many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa have several analogue broadcasters, in many cases related to local and political interests, with no resources to adequate the transition to digital. "On top of that, many of the customers have analogue televisions that will cannot be updated and will not receive the digital signal," he added.
More spectrum requested
During the Arab Spectrum Management Group (ASMG), the GSMA talk bilaterally to at least half a dozen regulators to say that the mobile data traffic patent growth that we are seeing on the operators networks is far above anything that has been discussed.
"It is important for governments to realise that without a future spectrum agenda, operators will have very limited visibility and very limited incentive for making the kind of investment needed to face this future mobile data growth. The policy makers and regulators fundamentally underestimate how people are using mobile data in this region,"said Lyons.
The problem with future spectrum is that now that spectrum is allocated for other use, for instance satellite, or television broadcast, such as terrestrial broadcast, he explained.
Lyons added that spectrum issue is not a technical issue. "If there is a technical issue, it is very easy to solve. It is a political issue."
If future spectrum is not agreed in November during the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC), it will not be agreed until 2023, he warned.

Om Puri was found dead with a sharp injury on his head
Latest reports reveal that veteran actor Om Puri might not have died due to a natural cause. In fact, according to Mumbai Mirror, he wanted to meet his son, who was staying with his former wife Nandita and had even visited their residence. But he could not, as his ex-wife and son were out for a party.
Om Puri apologizes for his comments after report filed in India
However, the police have filed a case of accidental death after the post-mortem report, disclosing that his death was not natural as previously reported. When police arrived at Om Puri's residence on Friday, he was found lying on the floor with a sharp injury on his head.
The Oshiwara police questioned the actor's close friend and film producer Khalid Kidwai, who told them that some hours before his death, an intoxicated Puri wanted to meet his son.
"Om Puri wanted to meet his son Ishan on Thursday evening. So we (Kidwai and Om Puri) went to Trishul building where his ex-wife Nandita lives with Ishan but were unable to meet them as both Nandita and Ishan had gone for a party. Om Puri then had an argument over the phone with Nandita and asked them to come soon as he wanted to meet his son," said Khalid Kidwai, who had been with the actor hours before his death.
"He poured a drink in his glass and waited for almost 45 minutes at Nandita's flat. But when they did not turn up, he took the glass and liquor bottle and started drinking in the car. After finishing the drink, we left," added Kidwai's statement.
His son Ishaan performed the last rites on late Friday evening and his ex-wife Nandita was present during the final rituals.

Glad I came here and read this post after reading another about Bookrooster that made it seem like a good thing to try. Guess I'll search around for some other stuff to help me with exposure for my upcoming project.Reply
Can you recommend another service and perhaps the book tour?Reply
For a book tour and blast group, I really recommend Cami with Reading is Addiction–she's great, and the bloggers she has have a lot of active readers. I think I like promo blast tours a little more than I do longer tours, but only because the longer tours are a lot more work–they do get good reviews and readers.
Fire & Ice and Reading is Addiction are the two I have more experience with reviews with, and they've both been good. Orangeberry doesn't require their bloggers to post their reviews until the end of the cycle, so it may be longer to see reviews from that group.
Check out the post I did on promoting Inquisitor's launch–that will have all of the groups I worked with and why I picked them. 🙂Reply
Hey – thanks for the info on Book Rooster. You saved me money and frustration. Where can I access the post you mention above about Inquisitor's launch?Reply
It was likely this post, Bill! http://rjblain.com/2014/05/inquisitor-release-day-shenanigans-participants/
Glad the review on Book Rooster was of use to you! (I still haven't gotten a single review from that service… bleh!)Reply
So sad I did not think to look deeper into Book Rooster. I read two good mentions on them as recommended review sites…then my ambition and excitement hijacked my brain. I always type in the name of a business with the word scam afterward to see if they are legit…except this time. I'm in the same boat as you R.J. 3 months, zero reviews. Chalking this one up to a learning experience.Reply
Totally agree. Sent my request to Book Rooster in December 2014. Martin said they would get back to me as soon as possible. I would have thought that Pi day (3/14/15) would have been enough time to get back to me-almost 3 months. Even after several prompting messages on my "case number" I have received no response (Nada, Zip, Zilch, Squat). It appears that Bog Rooster is a Book Ripoff.
Don't even think of going there.Reply

AUSTIN, Texas - Sanya Richards has a trip to the Athens Olympics on her summer agenda. First, though, the 19-year-old sophomore sensation will try to lead host Texas to the women's title this week at the NCAA track and field championships.

''It's the NCAAs. It's a team meet, and a team victory is always so great,'' Richards said Tuesday.
Texas, UCLA and LSU are the main players in what promises to be a close women's team race, while defending champion Arkansas is the men's favorite, even though Alistair Cragg won't be allowed to defend his title in the 5,000 meters.
The four-day competition begins today at the University of Texas oval, which was doused by heavy rain on Tuesday.
Richards has the fastest time in the world this year at 400 (50.49 seconds), and is the event's reigning U.S. champion. She is also the defending NCAA champion in the event, but could face a serious challenge from HazelAnn Regis of LSU, who has a best of 50.64.
Richards also will anchor both of Texas' relay teams.
She said the struggles of Texas coach Bev Kearney are added motivation. Kearney is working her way back from a severe back injury, the result of a December 2002 car accident that killed two of her companions.
''We've seen her move from a wheelchair to a walker, and her dreams have been for us to win a national title,'' Richards said. ''I think everybody's focus has been heightened. It gives us extra strength and extra motivation to get the job done for her.''
Kearney doesn't feel having the meet at home is much of an advantage.
''For me, losing last year is more of a motivation than a home meet,'' she said. ''Definitely it plays a part in it, but I think when you get down to the national championships, the NCAAs are the NCAAs, no matter where you put it.''
No team brings more depth to the meet than the Arkansas men, who have 15 in the competition.
''We've got someone pretty much in every event,'' coach John McDonnell said.

POLKTON, N.C. (WNCN) – A man serving 26 years in prison for second-degree murder died in apparent suicide at an Anson County correctional facility, officials said.
Christopher Blackett, 25, was found unresponsive in his cell Sunday afternoon at Lanesboro Correctional Institution.
He was pronounced dead after attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
Blackett was serving more than 26 years in prison after he was convicted in August 2016 of second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder charges. He was convicted in the death of his 17-year-old Spring Lake neighbor, Vincent Carlisle II.
Blackett, originally from California, was a soldier station at Fort Bragg.
The Polkton Police Department is investigating Blackett's death.

In seven years as chief executive of Chicago Public Schools, Arne Duncan has supported a range of measures to shake up the status quo in urban education, including new charter schools, performance pay and tough accountability for struggling schools.
He also has gained a reputation for reaching out to the teachers union and the community, helping to neutralize some potential critics and win allies.
Now, Duncan will take his political skills and reform zeal from the nation's third-largest school system to Washington to become the next education secretary, a post that will require him to try to bridge deep divides among education advocates, labor leaders and civil rights groups over how to fix America's schools.
Yesterday, President-elect Barack Obama introduced Duncan as his nominee at a news conference at a Chicago school. "When it comes to school reform, Arne is the most hands-on of hands-on practitioners," Obama said at Dodge Renaissance Academy, adding: "When faced with tough decisions, Arne doesn't blink."
Arne Duncan
Age: 44
Experience: Chief executive officer, Chicago Public Schools, 2001-present; deputy chief of staff, Chicago Public Schools, 2000-01; director of magnet schools and programs, Chicago Public Schools, 1998-2000; executive director, Ariel Education Initiative, 1992-98; professional basketball player in Australia, 1987-91.
Education: Bachelor's degree in sociology, Harvard University, 1987
Vilsack, who briefly sought the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, is a strong proponent of renewable energy and developing the nation's alternative-fuel industry.
His selection comes at a time of extraordinary tumult for the U.S. agricultural industry, which has been battered by the recession and entangled in the debate over energy policy. The Agriculture Department also is contending with an increase in the demand for food assistance amid the current economic turmoil.
Obama and Vilsack are advocates of ethanol and other biofuels as a means to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign oil. One of the first major decisions they may have to make is whether to grant the ethanol industry's requests for billions in federal aid in the stimulus bill, which Obama has said he hopes to sign into law quickly, perhaps on his first day in office.
Duncan has been at the helm of the 408,000-student Chicago system as test scores have improved, participation in Advanced Placement classes has risen sharply and graduation rates have edged up. However, the trade publication Education Week this year reported that the city's on-time graduation rate was 51 percent for the Class of 2005, ranking it behind most of the nation's 50 largest school systems.
"While there are no simple answers," Duncan said at the event yesterday, "I know from experience that when you focus on basics like reading and math, and when you embrace innovative new approaches and when you create a professional climate to attract great teachers, you can create great schools."
Under Duncan's leadership, charter schools were expanded and a performance-pay plan was launched with the blessing of teachers. He supports a program to bring people into teaching who have little classroom experience but strong academic backgrounds. In 2006, he called on Congress to double funding for the No Child Left Behind law.
Duncan's résumé appeals to some who identify themselves as reformers, but his calls for increased funding and willingness to partner with teachers also win the approval of unions and school officials who think the federal government imposes too many sanctions without offering enough support.
"Duncan is someone we believe can work with everyone, and that's going to be an important part of setting a new tone to get things done in the new administration, instead of treading water," said Joe Williams, executive director of the New York-based Democrats for Education Reform, a political action committee.
Duncan, 44, has close ties to Obama and has helped shape his education platform. During Obama's time in Illinois, the pair visited schools in Chicago and bonded over pickup basketball. (Duncan co-captained Harvard University's team and played professionally in Australia for a few years.)
On the spectrum of education advocates, Duncan wins praise from many quarters. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings called him "a visionary leader and fellow reformer who cares deeply about students."
National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel, head of the nation's largest teachers union, noted Duncan's push for increased funding and flexibility: "For too long, federal education policy has been about teaching to the test, and Duncan could use his new position to move beyond those failed policies and provide every child with 21st-century skills."
Chicago Teachers Union President Marilyn Stewart offered a lukewarm endorsement, the Chicago Tribune reported. She credited Duncan with getting more money for public education, but had sparred with him over school closings and restructuring that the union said lost more than 2,000 teachers and support personnel.
Duncan will take over the Education Department at a pivotal time. Efforts to revamp the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act, which aims to boost achievement of children from poor families, have been on hold as Congress awaits the new president. But many educators and lawmakers from both major parties have soured on the law, which requires states to rate schools on test scores. Teachers unions and some school officials have begun to see it as too rigid and punitive.
Obama has promised to "fix the failures" of the education law, but hammering out details will not be easy. He has pledged to improve testing and create a more nuanced way to hold schools accountable. But some of the law's advocates, including civil rights groups that applaud the spotlight on minority student performance, worry that the law could be watered down.
Duncan's challenge will be to help lawmakers and advocates reach agreement, said Michael Petrilli, who was associate assistant deputy secretary in the Education Department from 2001 to 2005 under President Bush and now works at the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, an education think tank.
"This confirms what we know, that President-elect Obama has reform instincts, but he's also a diplomat and is careful not to alienate key constituencies in the Democratic Party and across the aisle," Petrilli said. "That's going to be a delicate balance to walk the line between the reform camp and the education establishment."

GULF OF THE FARALLONES NATIONAL MARINE SANCTUARY As the 45-foot-white catamaran "Kitty Kat" bobbed in the ocean near the Farallon Islands last month, Jackie Dragon dropped a hydrophone overboard to capture the underwater sounds of an oil tanker gliding by a mile to the south.
To those watching it from the catamaran, the 900-foot, black-and-white tanker cruised in majestic silence out to sea through the marine sanctuary, due west of the Golden Gate Bridge.
But a speaker attached to the waterproof microphone soon broke the silence, as it transmitted the underwater racket caused by the tanker's propeller. To Dragon, the rhythmic churning resembles the sound of a freight train.
"Now you really hear it," Dragon told a group of ecotourists and researchers on the Aug. 15 trip. The expedition was the first trip this year for the Vessel Watch project, which began in 2008 and is run by Pacific Environment in San Francisco.
"It gets really obnoxious," said Dragon, head of the marine sanctuaries campaign for the group.
Vessel Watch is the only effort thus far to monitor underwater noise from large ships passing through the nearby sanctuary, and it's among just a handful of such endeavors worldwide.
The San Francisco group runs the program to gather data and cultivate public awareness about the toll of ship traffic noise on imperiled marine animals, many of which rely on sound for survival. With 100,000 large commercial vessels now crisscrossing the world's oceans, according to an estimate from the Chamber of Shipping of America, there's little escape from the noise generated by the ships' propellers.
"We get to turn it off," added Ingrid Overgard, an ocean noise expert volunteering for the trip. "They have to live with this 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
And the number of large oceangoing vessels is expected to double or even triple by 2030.
"That is pretty much a given," said Kathy Metcalf, a former deck officer on oil tankers and director of maritime affairs for the Chamber of Shipping of America.
Scientists only have scratched the surface of knowledge on the effects of human-caused noise on marine animals, in part due to the difficulty inherent in ocean research. One oft-cited 2006 study, however, reported that underwater ship noise doubled every decade off the Southern California coast since the U.S. Navy took measurements in the 1960s, rising 10 to 12 decibels during that time.
In an unlucky coincidence, the low-frequency sound generated by ships falls in the same range used by whales to communicate, and it's capable of traveling hundreds of miles through water without diminishing.
Hearing a problem
Many marine animals rely on their hearing to live in the murky or pitch-black waters that make up much of the ocean. In that dark realm, hearing reigns as the chief sense.
But when human-caused noise is added to the mix, the animals' own attempts at communication may be masked. It can also interfere with their efforts to locate prey, detect predators and can cause them the abandon prime feeding or breeding habitat.
In a 2005 report from the Natural Resources Defense Council, called "Sounding the Depths II," the organization described ship noise pollution as "death from a thousands cuts," especially for already-threatened species.
The report also describes harm caused by underwater sonar used for military purposes or for oil exploration, which experts from the International Whaling Commission and the U.S. Navy agree is linked to mass strandings of whales.
But a number of scientists think the cumulative effects of chronic noise pollution from merchant vessels could pose an even greater threat to marine mammals than the intermittent blasts from sonar.
It's a newly emerging issue, and an initial challenge is raising awareness about it within the international shipping industry, according to Metcalf, with the shipping association.
She only learned of it after receiving an invitation to a 2004 conference run by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, called "Shipping Noise and Marine Mammals." It was the first scientific symposium on the topic.
Since then, she has become something of a change agent, pushing for naval designers to incorporate "noise quieting" technologies into new ships, primarily with new propeller and hull designs.
"A lot of people, when a new issue comes up, say, 'I don't see proof that it's a problem yet, so let's just pretend like it doesn't exist,'"" Metcalf said. "We took a different tack on that. We said, 'You know what, if it's an issue, let's get in on the ground floor and talk about it.'""
Curing sounds' fury
Most undersea sound generated by ships comes from their propellers. As the blades turn, they create thousands of tiny bubbles, a process called "cavitation." The sound of these bubbles bursting is the main source of ship noise pollution. Ship engines are a distant secondary contributor, she said.
And cavitation means wasted energy. "Cavitation and propellers equal inefficiency," Metcalf said.
Environmental groups also support improved ship design as a critical step toward reducing shipping noise. But a 2008 report from the International Fund for Animal Welfare, called "Ocean Noise: Turn it Down," also advocates for the more immediate remedy of rerouting commercial vessels around sensitive habitat when whales and other imperiled animals are present, and slowing down ships when entering those areas.
"The magic number is 10 knots," said Dragon, with Pacific Environment. "If ships were traveling slower, they'd be cleaner, they'd be quieter and they would be safer," she said, alluding to ship strikes, which in 2007 killed four blue whales in shipping lanes off Santa Barbara.
But Dragon also acknowledged the issue is a "nonstarter" with the shipping industry, at least as a voluntary measure.
Metcalf concurred. Slowing down ships from cruising speeds of 25 knots would lead to more ships on the ocean, because it would delay arrival times for in-demand products, she said. And a sanctuary speed limit would add many hours to voyages, piling on costs. The restrictions would be onerous for large vessels traveling along coastlines, Metcalf added, which are replete with sensitive marine habitat.
Remedies in water
Retrofitting existing ships with propellers that create less cavitation is also proposed as near-term remedy. Metcalf said that's possible for some ships, but existing hull shapes make it "virtually impossible" for many others.
A 10-knot limit when whales are present took effect this year for liquefied natural gas carriers at Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary in Massachusetts, and its adjacent waters. Another restriction took effect in 2008 on the Eastern Seaboard, requiring the slowdown of all large ships during the season that federally endangered right whales congregate.
Metcalf said the economic effect of the seasonal slowdown on the shipping industry "was huge."
The federal regulations were enacted to protect the whales from death and injury by ship strikes, which have increased in recent decades on the East Coast. But they have the ancillary effect of reducing ship noise, said Leila Hatch, an ecologist who runs the underwater acoustics program at the Stellwagen marine sanctuary.
Scientists at Stellwagen are overseeing a new underwater acoustic array that's adding data to scarce research on the issue. "We're probably the farthest along in the world looking at shipping noise and whale behavior," Hatch said.
A small, vital program
Seeing a similar system of acoustic arrays established at the marine sanctuary surrounding the Farallon Islands is a "dream" for Carol Keiper, the naturalist on board the catamaran.
Between excitedly pointing out porpoises, seabirds, and gray, humpback and blue whales for passengers, Keiper said, "They have all this amazing technology set up at Stellwagen."
For now, the small Vessel Watch program is the only research on the topic for the Gulf of Farallones sanctuary, which is particularly rich in marine life. It relies on the tourists joining the trip donning the hat of "citizen scientist."
During the seven-hour journey, they can help monitor the presence of whales in a shipping lane and take photos of any breaching animals. The data is shared with scientists studying whales off the coast of California, and recordings of underwater ship noise are sent to a researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
"We very much want to elevate the role of science," said Dragon, with Pacific Environment. "The No. 1 argument for not changing anything is the lack of sound science that proves a change is needed."

First Trip for Vessel Watch
August 21st, 2009
By Jackie Dragon
The others were out on deck craning their necks at the red underbelly of the Golden Gate Bridge, gazing at seals and sea lions draped over the rocks around Point Bonita, and dreaming of a day full of whales at Farallon Islands. I spent the first full hour of my prep trip for our upcoming Vessel Watch Project wrestling with my computer. Actually, I was doing the very thing one should not do, unless you are trying to get seasick staring closely and long at a stationary object while our boat rocked and then picked up speed, riding softly bucking waves out to the islands. No worries though; I kept my stomach in place.
The whole point of this trip was to get all the technology glitches worked out before our first trip on August 15. I was trying to get our Automatic Information System (AIS) antenna and receiver to pour real-time data from any near-by ships onto our computer screen. Then, when we encounter any of the thousands of giant ships that drive through the Gulf of the Farallones National Marine Sanctuary to our busy ports we can get the skinny on it, so to speak. The AIS can tell us the ships name, destination, ship type, as in cargo or oil tanker, and how fast that ship is traveling through these rich and biodiverse waters. The faster a large ship goes, the noisier it is in the water. Most of the noise is caused by cavitation, created when thousands of tiny bubbles form and burst as the propeller turns. Captain Joe, quite a technology buff himself, turned the wheel over to his deck hand, Steve, and joined me to try his hand at the stubborn computer. Finally, we surrendered to defeat but just for today. Well get this system humming.
Never fear, I had more mechanical toys to test, and unpacked the hydrophone, digital recorder and mini amplifier. I asked Captain Joe if he thought there would be a good time to stop the boat today, as I wanted to lower the hydrophone and see what we could hear. He replied affirmatively in his usual bright tone. Joe is a fisherman transformed by the changes in our oceans, and our depleted fisheries. Now he turns his boat and expertise towards ecotourism and research. Captain Joe and S.F. Bay Whale Watching go beyond ferrying ocean enthusiasts out to find whales. They partner with anyone who needs to get out on a boat to make a positive difference in these waters. Joe conducts water quality sampling for the state, releases rehabilitated seals and sea lions for The Marine Mammal Center, and even turns off the boat so our Marine Sanctuaries Campaign can bring the underwater world of sound up on deck. Our goal is to open ears to the threats of ocean noise pollution facing whales and marine life in the sanctuary.
A wave of questions, Are we getting close? and How much further to the islands? washed over the boat. A few minutes later Capt. Joes voice came overhead reminding passengers that a free t-shirt was the prize for spotting the first whale. We were about five miles out from the islands and in prime whale territory. Seconds later Steve, called out There she blows! I caught the faint remnant of a short heart-shaped misty blow. A minute later, directly in front of our boats bow, we watched the knuckled back of a grey whale roll into a graceful dive, finished with flukes slipping below the surface.
And then, we saw a lot of nothing. That first-whale excitement gave way to concern as 46 pair of eyes scanned the water in vain. Capt. Joe wondered what kind of activity was happening on a large retrofitted crabbing vessel trolling nearby. Might they be driving the whales away? An older gentleman on his ninth trip out to the islands, the last time six years ago, told me he had never seen it so dead. Finally, we turned and drove in for a closer look at the wild Farallon Islands. Trish Mirabelle, our naturalist for the day, captured our attention with stories of egg wars on the islands in centuries past, and the research on birds and white sharks and pinnipeds that has followed for the past 40-some years.
And then, more whales. Humpbacks this time. Three swimming together, flukes over one at a time. We hung around them at a safe distance ooohhing and aahhhing just to see them. Another humpback breached off in the distance. The whales were here, after all! Just as I was getting antsy wondering if we might get the chance to hear these magnificent creatures, as well as see them, I heard the sound I was waiting for quiet! Joe had cut motor.
I was already lowering the hydrophone over the side when Trish came to tell me we were stopped for a listen. I turned on the little amplifier and hit the red record button. The relative quiet on board was replaced by sound pouring out of the little box. Passengers gathered around. We could hear the water slap, slap, slapping against the metal hull, and lots of crackling in the background the tell tail sounds of snapping shrimp. And then, we heard them. Whoop, whoop, whoop Nobody spoke. We just turned wide-eyed at each other and mouthed the word WOW! For thirteen minutes we floated while whales swam, dove, and fed all around us. Intermittently we heard squeaks, moans and gulping sounds. Three whales turned into seven or eight and they seemed content to swim around our floating boat, sometimes quite close. I couldnt help wondering if turning off our own noisy motor gave the whales a chance for a closer look at us. Our nine-trip veteran said he had never seen so many whales ever before.

Care workers currently employed by Scottish Borders Council could be transferred to a council-owned company, operating at arms-length.
Councillors are expected to agree to a business case being examined for the moving of all adult social care services to an arms-length organisation.
A report carried out by a consultancy firm states that the creation of a council-run external body, and associated transfer of staff, could enable SBC to maintain control over the services provided while also making savings and ensuring quality services are maintained. Five options were assessed, with two providing sustainability, control and savings for the council: the creation of a local authority trading company, or a limited liability partnership.
These options will put before councillors today. SBC chief executive Tracey Logan said: "It is a big, important move, if we go down that route."
In her report to councillors, Elaine Torrance, programme director for health and social care integration, states: "Doing nothing is not an option."
The consultant's report into the various options available states that continuing with an in-house service is not viable in the medium to long term.
It adds: "The social work department have undertaken a number of reviews over the past two years to ensure greater flexibility and reduce costs.
"These have had some limited success but the scale of savings required cannot be generated using the existing delivery mechanism."
Services to be moved into an arms-length body may include: services for the elderly, such as home care, night support and day care services; day centres for adults with learning disabilities; day centres for adults with physical disabilities, and mental health services.
The study, by Care and Health Solutions Ltd, says a council-led external body would have a staff of around 600 and a budget of almost £17m, and would enable additional revenue to be generated and also make the services more affordable to clients.

Why the negative headlines around the Ghost Ship, Oakland fire should not harm the important work of DIY spaces
Patrick Glen, member of Manchester DIY collective Partisan, argues that creating safe communal spaces is essential for positive social change
It's now been confirmed that 36 people have died following the fire last Friday at the Ghost Ship live-work DIY space in Oakland, California. The authorities expect the number to rise. The friends and relatives of those unaccounted for have been asked to find dirty clothes and used combs to provide DNA to match with remains. A "significant" amount of people remain missing.
A DJ was playing to around 50 people at an unlicensed party when smoke began to fill the building. Three of the staircases, on which people tried to run from the fire, were irregularly-shaped, home-made from wooden pallets. As people were trying to escape the lights failed and loud cracks were heard as wood splintered. The stories that are emerging from survivors are horrific.
The leaseholder of the warehouse, Derick Almena, has apologised. On NBC's breakfast news, before cutting the interview short, he explained how he had set up the space with good intentions. The Ghost Ship provided a space for marginalised people, performance arts and alternative arts. He explained that it had become a home as well as a hub of activism and performance space. People moved in because they couldn't pay their rent while, at the same time, living lives as artists and activists. DIY spaces give people an opportunity to help each other change society and create art within an unfriendly economic context – neoliberalism.
The fire has put DIY spaces in the news and they are facing scrutiny from a number of authorities – one DIY space, in Baltimore, has been shut. However, the problems at Ghost Ship should not put people off from starting and attending these places, it should instead provide a lesson – one that is much needed. I have lived in a live-work warehouse, just like Ghost Ship, and I am part of a collective who are opening a DIY space in Manchester called Partisan. When I heard that there was a fire in a DIY space in Oakland I felt a lot of sympathy, a knot in the bottom of my stomach – more nausea than sadness, if I'm honest. I saw the pictures, then read some coverage and they confirmed some of my fears – now the resigned sadness is moving in probably to be replaced, by the time I have finished writing, with anger and frustration.
Considering the community that has come together to create Partisan, I can only imagine what the people involved in Ghost Ship are going through. Partisan met for the first time in January, some people were already friends but I was a stranger who had recently moved back to Manchester after nearly a decade in London. Perhaps it was a pipedream, but one of the reasons that I had moved back to Manchester was to do something like this. Then there it was, two weeks after moving into a house in Salford: a flyer advertising a group who wanted to create a place for music, culture and politics in spite of austere neo-liberalism's attack on individuals and communities. From the first few meetings it became apparent that Partisan was going to be great. They people involved love music and the arts, are funny and kind, and wanted to get their hands dirty to change things. Even before we have built (rented, perhaps) our first permanent space, there have been a number of new and unruly meetings of different musicians, artists and activists.
I now count the people I have met through Partisan, foremost, as friends. There's a certain strength to that – when people who like each other want to do something, they tend to have each other's backs and do it. That's a model for social change. On a personal level it re-empowered me, giving me something that I had lost living in London. I can't thank them enough for giving me a second chance at using music and the arts constructively and getting back into active politics (also for letting me play gigs with them, basketball[!], have pints and listen to my various shades of complete crap/share their typically more perceptive views on things).
My experience of Partisan is not unusual. Coming together to do something, not just sit and passively absorb the world (or the mediated world) around you, with other people matches actions to people's words. It gives you a deeper understanding of them, tolerance of their idiosyncrasies and knowledge of their potential for good. Above all, it builds trust. In Oakland, if a community like ours has been lost, the survivors must being going through hell. I, and despite being reticent to say we, I think that other people in collective would not mind in this instance, send our best wishes to them. You can rebuild it stronger, safer and continue to provide your alternative vision of what society might and should be.
I'm not going to compose an entirely idyllic view of DIY spaces and live-work warehouses though. Partisan will be inclusive, accessible and safe for all. From the outset we have considered how to make the space accessible to disabled people, for instance. We have talked to experts and listened to their advice. We have factored in the cost of accessibility and other public safety measures within our fundraising targets. We understand the politics of space and how spaces can be altered to include the broadest range of people possible.
People should set up DIY spaces and open up live-work warehouses for communal events, but they need to be acutely aware of the risks and responsibilities. The reports coming from Oakland state a number of fire code violations, insufficient rubbish disposal, smoking in packed places, prefabricated warren-like wooden hallways. I am reticent to judge whether these claims are credible or not without more evidence. This type of talk has provided a stick for authorities to beat music cultures and those who seek alternative lifestyles for years. It pits danger, dirtiness and disorder against binary-opposed modern ideals of safety, cleanliness and order. Health and safety controls, yes, of course, but also prevents people who think that life is cheap from taking liberties.
We should make do, build structures that reflect our means and imaginations, but not without a duty of care for those around us. If DIY spaces are to offer a radical alternative we need to keep each other safe. This was not what I saw in the London warehouses I lived in (others may be different): packed parties (maybe 250 people) with one single door to escape through if a fire had happened, tinder-box prefab rooms made of MDF and insulated with pillows, elaborate but precarious wooden constructions made by people with no training, filled with rubbish and cigarette smoke.
These transgressions were not carried out spitefully. The construction of these spaces and the happenings inside them often showed great ingenuity and creativity. The packed parties with one exit were fun at the time, absolute sweatboxes with great music. The people who turn a blind eye to the consequences of these dangerous situations (me included, by saying nothing I was tacitly complicit) are most often misguided and a victim of consequence. The people who think that life is cheap are landlords and politicians rather than residents of and those who run DIY spaces. Neoliberal economics have impacted upon our housing – which should be a social right rather than an economic privilege. Unregulated rental markets, the lack of social housing, an economy (in Britain at least) propped up by artificially inflated house prices, have created and exacerbated a housing crisis.
A generation of people who are brave enough to take chances with art or live on the margins to work towards positive social changes, but find little financial reward, are having to find other ways of living. One tactic is communal living. Another is creating spaces for the community that are both a haven from the situation outside and provide somewhere for a challenge to that situation to take shape. In light of the necessity of these spaces within the current social, economic and cultural context, it is imperative that these homes, workplaces and social spaces are safe. Your landlords and the politicians currently in power do not care about you. As a consequence, you have to ensure your personal safety and your community's safety.
