Teenager became an instant Ashes hero
Picked as a bolter for his bowling in the 2013 Ashes opener at Trent Bridge, Ashton Agar promptly became a household name in Australia for his batting deeds, coming within one lusty pull shot of an extraordinary debut century from the foot of the order.
When he followed up with the wicket of rival skipper Alastair Cook the following day, Australia looked to have found an unlikely teenage all-rounder.
But spin bowlers rarely find their feet until well into their 20s, so it's no surprise that Agar's Test tenure lasted just two matches having yielded only two wickets at an average that soon ballooned beyond his batting.
His willingness to work hard coupled with his undoubted natural ability means he is a player of the future, provided he can shake the burden of expectation created by his unforgettable opening act.

Now also available as eBook
The impact of United States jurisprudence on air carrier liability involving international air transportation has been so great over many decades that it is not unreasonable to conceive of that body of jurisprudence as the principal source for the interpretation and application of the uniform rules relating to air carrier liability in the international transportation by air of passengers, baggage and cargo, as envisioned by the original drafters of the Warsaw Convention of 1929. Hence, an in-depth analysis of this body of jurisprudence, such as is presented in this indispensable book, constitutes, for all practical purposes, the preeminent treatise on international air transportation liability – all the more so, in that the drafters of the 1999 Montreal Convention (MC99) were determined not to erode in any way this established body of Warsaw Convention jurisprudence when interpreting and applying the 1999 successor instrument, MC99.
George Tompkins, a leading authority with worldwide recognition on the interpretation and application of international private air law agreements, – and himself among the drafters of MC99 – here lays out the rich fruit of his vast personal experience in handling cases and controversies in the Courts of the United States involving the application of the liability rules of the Warsaw Convention and now MC99. The resulting publication is an essential legal guide for determining and resolving claims governed by one or more of the international law instruments that comprise the Warsaw Liability System, which consists of the 1929 Warsaw Convention, the 1955 Hague Protocol, the 1961 Guadalajara Convention, the 1975 Montreal Protocol No. 4 and various inter-carrier agreements (applicable only to claims involving passenger death or bodily injury governed by the Warsaw Convention) all now superseded and governed by MC99. Among the multitude of topics covered in depth, users of this book will find the following:
• When the liability rules of MC99 or one of the predecessor Warsaw Liability System instruments is applicable to a claim;
• What triggers liability under the applicable instrument;
• Who can make a claim against the air carrier;
• Who can file a legal action for damages;
• Where the action must be brought-
• Jurisdiction;
• When the action must be brought
• Limitations period;
• What law applies in determining the recoverable damages;
• Limitations on recoverable damages;
• The accepted definitions of key terms in the Convention Rules, such as "carrier", "accident", "bodily injury", "operations of embarking or disembarking", "destination";
• The treatment of mental injury claims;
• Liability for delay;
• Defenses available to the carrier;
• Willful misconduct of the carrier.
The author explains the required particulars for establishing the liability of the air carrier in detail under a wide variety of circumstances, and clearly defines all terms – especially such contentious terms as 'willful misconduct,' 'accident', 'bodily injury', 'embarking', 'disembarking' 'destination' – as their applicability varies under successive conventions and protocols as interpreted and applied in years of court decisions. As a thorough summary and critique of the interpretation and application of the 70-year body of Warsaw Convention jurisprudence, this unmatched publication provides a convenient one-volume basis for the development of a body of MC99 jurisprudence. It also is an incomparable practical guide for the use and benefit of everyone involved in the practice or study of international private air law, including lawyers, airline in-house counsel, international aviation organizations, aviation liability insurers and re-insurers, aviation insurance brokers, aviation-related departments of national governments, judges, law clerks, students and teachers.

text:
We have long argued that at its core, modern society, at least on a mathematical basis - the one which ultimately trumps hopium every single time - is fatally flawed due to the existence, and implementation, of the concept of modern "welfare" - an idea spawned by Otto von Bismarck in the 1870s, and since enveloped the globe in various forms of transfer payments which provide the illusion of a social safety net, dangles the carrot of pension, health, and retirement benefits, and in turn converts society into a collage of blank faces, calm as Hindu cows. Alas, the cows will promptly become enraged bulls once they realize that all that has been promised to them in exchange for their docility and complacency has... well... vaporized. It is at that point that the final comprehension would dawn, that instead of a Welfare State, it has been, as Bill Buckler terms it, a Hardship State all along. Below we present the latest views from the captain of The Privateer on what the insoluble dilemma of the welfare state is, and what the key problems that the status quo will face with its attempts at perpetuating this lie.
From The PrivateerIt appears that the "Captain" is on to something here. A few short hours ago none other than Goldman Sachs was forced to come out with a report attempting to justify this most fundamental social illusion, in "Is Health Spending Unsustainable" - that only Goldman, and potentially the San Fran Fed, could put this question for serious debate when it is well known that the unfunded liabilities associated with such luxuries is in the triple trillion digit ballpark, speaks volumes. Yet, since even Goldman is now floating various "trial balloons", we can only assume that this is about to become a big issue for policy, especially ahead of the Supreme Court's hearings later this month on the constitutionality of the national health care law.
The Great Delusion - Welfare
For the best part of the last two decades, it has been accepted as an indisputable fact even by the mainstream media that the two great pillars of the welfare state - medicare and social security - will break the government which offers them. Today, every nation in the world makes at least some pretense of providing welfare to its citizens. Since the developed (or rich) nations are those where these systems are most developed, these are the nations most at risk of crumbling under their burdens.
Welfare has many antonyms, but hardship is particularly apt in this context. Wikipedias entry on welfare ends like this: ... this term replaces charity as it was known for thousands of years, being the act of providing for those who temporarily or permanently could not provide for themselves. As usual, the defining characteristic is missed. Charity is voluntary. Welfare as practised by government is compulsory. This makes the two terms opposites. It also brings about the opposite results. Charity is a voluntary act made by those who have a surplus to assist those who do not. Welfare is a system guaranteed to end up in hardship for everyone but particularly for those who are forced to be charitable.
The insoluble dilemma of a welfare state is twofold. First, it results in a situation in which the majority of people who vote are partially or wholly dependent on the state for their sustenance. In every advanced nation today, those who vote for a living outnumber those who work for one. It is true that not everybody, or even a majority of those eligible in many cases, bothers to vote at all. It is equally true that the wards of the state have much more incentive to vote than do those who are to provide for them.
The second dilemma is the issue of the unfunded liabilities. The US government divides its budget into discretionary and NON discretionary items. The bulwarks of the welfare state, social security and medicare, fall into the second category. They are considered untouchable. There are only two problems here. First, the unfunded liabilities of these two programs are somewhere in the order of $US 80 - 120 TRILLION. Second, any talk of sharply lower annual deficits (let alone talk of a return to a budget balance) are puerile without MAJOR surgery being performed on medicare and social security. They are gigantic millstones around the neck of the US economy as they are on the economies of all other nations.
In the hands of government - welfare becomes its antithesis - hardship. Today, this is being illustrated in real time in Greece. But no nation can afford a welfare state in the long run.
From Goldman Sachs
I. Is Health Spending Unsustainable?
Health spending in the US exceeds that of any other developed nation, topping the next largest spender by nearly half again as much (as a share of GDP). Spending has also tended to grow faster in the United States than elsewhere (Exhibit 1). Unchecked spending runs the risk of destabilizing public finances, reducing competitiveness with trading partners, and ultimately crowding out other productive uses of resources. This is particularly the case if health spending is inefficient (Exhibit 2).
However, the case that health spending is unsustainable isnt as clear cut as the debate has sometimes made it out to be. After all, dedicating a larger share of future income gains to improving health could be a more productive investment than increasing other forms of personal consumption. Moreover, while health spending within federal programs is clearly unsustainable under current policies and growth trends, whether broader health spending should also be deemed to be growing too quickly depends on whether increased spending improves outcomes and whether it affects the ability of the rest of the economy to grow.
What Drives Health Spending?
From 1970 through 2010, nominal health spending grew at an average annual rate of 9.7%, well in excess of nominal GDP growth of 6.8%. Excess growth was greatest in the 1970s and 1980s, declined in the 1990s, and reaccelerated somewhat in the last decade (Exhibit 3). Continual growth in excess of GDP growth has led health spending to reach 15% of GDP (Exhibit 4). Notably, this has occurred while the out of pocket costs to patients and consumers have declined, replaced by indirect costs such as insurance premiums and taxes that fund public programs, as well as federal borrowing.
There is no single cause for excess growth in health spending, but a large body of research has focused on the drivers of growth and has reached qualitatively similar conclusions, as shown in Exhibit 5:
Technology. Advancement in the state of technology typically increases cost over existing products or procedures, though it may produce savings in other areas. Academic work has typically attributed residual spending growth to technology, after accounting for other measurable factors. More recent work has tended to find a slightly smaller though still large contribution from technology to total health spending.The exact magnitude is necessarily imprecise in any case, given substantial interaction between the availability of new technology and willingness to pay for it due to rising incomes and greater insurance.
Income. Differences in income explain a good deal of international variation in the health spending to GDP ratio (Exhibit 6). This implies that as societies become richer, they devote a greater share of additional income gains to health rather than other forms of consumption. We find that regressing excess cost growth through 2010 against real GDP growth with a one year lag produces a statistically significant coefficient similar to the estimates shown in Exhibit 5.

I've always had a soft spot for dogs. Early on in my childhood, I was terrified of them, mainly because every dog I had met at that point was larger than me or had wronged me in some fashion. (I still haven't forgotten you, Hoss. You stole my toy dinosaur, chewed off its head, and buried it.)
But when I turned seven, I wanted a dog. It was all I could think about. I nagged my parents daily about why I should get a dog. I went to the library and researched everything I could about dogs. Yes, I was the kid who gave his parents a presentation on why I deserved a dog.
They said no.
I wasn't prepared for a dog, which was a huge responsibility. Looking back, I think they were right.
But that did not stop me from trying. In fact, I believe it made me work harder in my efforts. I waited another year, yearning for my first dog. It never came. Another year passed by, and I knew Mom and Dad were weakening, and that I wouldn't have to wait much longer.
And I knew that it was destined to happen. Fate was on my side.
My parents took me along with them to Jefferson City one afternoon to go shopping, which I, to this day, still hate with a passion. As I wandered around Montgomery Ward, killing time as they browsed furniture, I finally sat down from sheer boredom and waited.
I could not have guessed what would happen next.
Mom and Dad walked up, and they stopped in front of me, as I lay twisted in a recliner. My mother looked at me and said," Ben, get up. We have something to show you."
I sighed, just wishing they were taking me home, and followed them to the back of the store. They led me into the back room, where a couple of employees were gathered around. As I went closer, I saw why they had gathered there. They were standing around a dog, petting it and feeding it.
Mom turned, looked at me, and said," Ben, would you like a dog?"
I was shocked. I couldn't speak. Here was my opportunity! After all of that waiting, the day had arrived!
I walked over to the dog very slowly, and stuck out my hand, allowing the dog to sniff before I touched it. I then sat down next to it, and it walked over, and sat down next to me, and licked my face.
One of the employees sat down next to me, and asked me if I wanted her. I replied yes, smiling. He told me that she had been tied to the fence behind the store and abandoned earlier that morning, and she needed someone to take care of her. He asked me if I would do that.
Page 2 of 3 - I immediately replied yes, thanked him, and then left with my first dog.
We named her Princess. She was a German Shepherd and Border Collie mix, and the quietest dog that I had ever met. I never once heard her bark. We kept her in a pen when we weren't home, afraid she might run off.
And after we felt she wouldn't run away, we began to let her roam. She would follow me into the woods, hunting animals and never leaving my side whenever I was outside. She was my closest friend.
I wasn't particularly popular in my small school, preferring to read books over socializing with my classmates. For the most part, though I was the class clown, I kept to myself. I never really felt like I fit in with the other kids, though I would hang out with them and talk.
I was always counting down the minutes until I could return home and see Princess.
But, the choice to leave her out of the pen still haunts me. My family and I left the house to go to my basketball tournament one day, and I had decided not to pen her up, since we lived out in the country, where everyone's dogs ran free.
When I got home, I spent hours looking for her, but she never answered my calls.
The next day, after we got home from church, my neighbor, Mark, called the house to talk to Dad.
After he got off the phone, Dad took me aside to tell me that Princess had tried to follow us, making her way to the highway.
She had been hit by a car and killed.
Mark had seen her body on his way home, so he picked her up, and brought her back to our house, where he placed her in the bed of my dad's pickup.
Dad told me he would take care of it.
I answered him, saying that it was my dog, and my responsibility.
We buried her later that day, underneath a large cedar tree in the woods below our house.
I didn't have her for a really long time, but the life lessons I learned, because of that dog, are ones I will never forget. I learned responsibility, both in taking care of her and by taking responsibility for my actions.
But the memories I have with that dog are some of my most treasured moments.
The bond between a child and a dog is one that has always fascinated me. The dog plays with the child, but also is the child's protector. No one tells the dog to do it. There's no code saying dogs must do this, no contractual agreement between man and beast.
Page 3 of 3 - They do it simply because it's in their nature.
They do it for love.

What's wrong with harassment?
Posted 31 October 2005 - 02:21 PM
But that is EXACTLY the reason that we need to minimize our impact - so that the reefs can have a fighting chance against the thousand-point gorrillas of watershed destruction, coastal development, and overfishing.

You obviously haven't been to Koh Tao, where up to 12k OWD are certified a year. Nothing more than 4 inches stands in some beginner areas.While it would be silly to encourage such behavior, the amount of damage that is done by divers is sustainable.
Obviously as Luiz has stated, in the grand scheme of things, a chunk here or there doesn't matter, but ettiquette for the fellow divers and the inhabitants of the reef should be respected. Sorta like why shoot a beautiful 100lbs grouper when you can buy fish in the market? Other people don't get to see big fish like that often anymore. And sometimes I don't even want a picture of it... just to know majestic creatures are abound is good enough.

I do!
Posted 31 October 2005 - 02:59 PM
What bothers me these days is the almost demonization of photographers and there supposed damage by some dive operators and on some dive forums. I've been on dives were I know the divemaster is watching my every move just waiting for me to engage in inappropriate touching. All while nuebie divers are thrashing about. I have been told by a divemaster that I should not kneel on rubble because coral could be attempting to colonize....give me a break. There was even an incident on Cozumel recently where a photographer was physically assaulted by a divemaster while underwater for touching a seahorse. The actions of the divemaster were generally applauded on several of the diver forums.
For myself my only reaction (besides keeping my touching in the closet) is to vote with my pocketbook. If I find the actions and/or policies of a particular dive operator to be unreasonable I save us both the hassle and don't return.

Wait a second. Were you joking here? Where did you think the fish in the market came from?? The one in the market is one less grouper for all to see just as much as the one the spearfisherman shot....

For those who argue about fishing destroying or removing fish that we see, but who'd still like to eat fish, I'd suggest looking out for a copy of the Marine Conservation Society's "Good Fish Guide" which details the 'acceptable' and 'to be avoided' fish to eat! Sadly the vast majority of the world's fisheries are subject to overpressure at the moment so enjoy seeing fish while you can!

As to the use of calls the objection always falls to the stress you are causing the animal as well as causing it to deviate from its normal behavior resulting in spending unnecessary energy it may not have to investigate the source or run off an intruder causing the subject , or its neglected young, do die a few days later.
I think one must always exercise caution to impact nature as little as possible but recognize no matter how careful you are you will always be impacting the environment in some negative way.
The photogs or even the environmental fanatics that believe that all these creatures are that easily stressed need to avoid all outdoor activity. While hiking to photograph scenics I have spooked deer and I am sure my scent has caused wild animals downwind to adjust their behavior. As someone said above just because you can point to another group that is doing more damage does not excuse your behavior. That poor feather duster that was feeding just retracted as you swam three feet over him might have to do that dozens of times daily in a heavily dived area causing him to stress out or miss crucial feedings making him more susceptible to disease or predators. If you mulitiply this over an hours bottom time think of the number of negative impacts a diver can have even when he does not get near the reef. ( not to mention all the microscopic plankton that his movement through the water is impacting, or does this life not really matter ?)
Based on this line of thinking diving should be illegal as we are gradually killing the reefs and their inhabitants. The bottom line is that as photographers we are all somewhat selfish and jealous at the same time. In the above example about the game farms the photographer that can afford to spend three months in the wild following the snow leopard and maybe get a one decent shot is upset that another photog with time/budget constraints get hundreds of beautiful posed shots of a snow lepoard in natural surroudings that only a small percentage of people might know the difference.
We are sort of a selfish bunch as we know all divers are creating some impact when just diving let alone photographing. So let me up the ante with Williams original question.... If you truly believe the talk of stressing out animals and killing coral, etc. why should you do it for nothing more than the pleasure you derive from it. Does the world really need another photograph of a pygmy seahorse to go with the ten of thousands that have been taken already ?
Posted 01 November 2005 - 06:48 AM
I glad to see there are alot of people that care about our oceans. I also no long eat sea food and take alot of abuse from fellow work mates on this issue. Have dived with some other photographers who don't give a shit about what they damage as long as they get that shot. I was so upset with them and had words with them but they could not understand english, they were from Japan.
A year or so ago if you had a underwater camera you were the odd one out these days though if you don't you are the odd one out. I try and set a good example everytime I dive with a camera. I also think it's important to educate people with camera's if you see them damaging the reef, especially new divers and camera's.

Chickens(esp egg layers) and pigs eat feed with fish content the most.What do think that little pig or cow eats? They eat ground fish! (Together with some antibiotics.)
However, the fish meat used is usually from farmed sources. There was a bit of scandal with illegal bycatch was being sold in the 90s from Central and South American countries (including fishing from Cocos!) I don't know the resolution of that one because I stopped being in the organization which monitored it. The calcium is usually from stuff like oyster shells is essential for egg laying chickens.
Cows not so much, they use to get feed their own species as part of their meal but mad cow disease stopped that real quick. They are fed chicken faeces, pig and soy protein now.
The feed dilemma is that the food is often cyclical. Cows slaughtered have parts mixed into feed for chicken and pigs which comes right back as cow feed.
There is no way to be fully environmentally friendly without killing off 4 billion people( and probably feeding them to the farmed animals!) Doesn't mean you don't have to do your part. You'd be amazed how much you can do if you tried. I have 2 lbs of trash a week now. I try buy all recyclable package, an earthworm can to absorb the organic waste and walk or bike around (and I live in LA, land of cars!).
Eating sushi(tuna) and shark is definitely more detrimental to the sea than say sardines and uni(urchin). Cutting seafood out takes away the "exotic" fish catching and makes fishermen go for the more sustainable sources. I doubt chilean sea bass was ever used in chicken feed once they found a place in a gourmet kitchen. Shark meat is now getting more popular as regulations about keeping the entire shark grows (tell that to the korean, taiwanese and spanish boats!) Educating oneself and choosing wisely is all you need to start contributing. It's not possible to be fully eco-friendly, but not hard to be very active.

I prefer not to touch the sealife myself. As for others, they can make that decision themselves.
I share the same opinion diving that I do for hunting: If you are killing to eat, fine. If you are maiming because you have to fulfill some sadistic need, I disapprove. However, I don't tell other people how to think because I don't want to be told how to think by other people.

Then again, being a freediver, I observe a lot of SCUBA behavior that I find highly offensive. I guess my problem is that there are no ethics lessons taught during the SCUBA training. At least not when I got certified. I have seen people cut open sea urchins to feed the ornamentals to get nice pictures. I have seen a swarm of divers pack an underwater ledge and eventually force out the two sharks that had been occupying it. I have seen divers stop to dig and prod and yank an octopus out of its hole to harrass it and play with it. I have seen divers chasing after turtles--a protected species. I have seen divers spearing ornamental(and non-edible) fish with a cheap 3-prong they probably rented with their tanks and kayak. I'm not talking about things I have seen over many years--I'm talking about THE LAST TIME I GOT IN THE WATER LAST WEEK. As a person who spends a majority of my life in and around the water and involved in ocean-related activities, I find these behaviors to be disgraceful. I see no respect for the environment, I see no respect for nature. This bothers me greatly. Don't misunderstand my intent--I appreciate SCUBA and think it is wonderful in that it has opened up a deeper world to many people. I myself use SCUBA to access depths below 50 and 60 feet that I usually do not explore for long while freediving. But when I use SCUBA I take with me my love and respect for the ocean. I don't treat the ocean environment and its inhabitants in a way in which I wouldn't want my own home and family treated. It's that simple. I guess my biggest beef is that SCUBA education seems to focus more on the technical aspects of accessing the underwater world without addressing how we should interact with it. Anyway, just my $.02 as a soon-to-be-flamed freedive photographer.

I know you are trying to temper your comments William, but I think Mike did exactly the right thing. Even if there was nothing more than described by Mike, I think he made the correct decision.I must say mike, I'm sure there was more and your couple deserved it, but if it was just the starfish I'd say you over reacted.
Given the description of the treatment of the starfish, would it not be fair to assume that such behaviour might be indicative of general disrespect and a poor level of understanding of appropriate interactions with marine live. By pointing out the faults in their behaviour, Mike may have mitigated against wider and potentially more damaging implications.
Go sick 'em Mike!

It was the starfish volleyball that i couldn't believe. I don't mind someone picking up a starfish and inspecting for shrimp, that doesn't bug me. Its the fact they actually picked it up and were playing volleyball with it! not just one pass or two but five, six, ten times! I betcha no more shrimp on that one...
The point of my original post was basically just to agree with John, there is a significant amount of disrespect down there...

Overflowing with knowledge and creativity, Sharon had ideas and plans and invited friends to come along for the ride. Sharon has touched lives from the West Coast to the East Coast. All those touched by Sharon feel an immeasurable loss. We will miss her energy, enthusiasm, companionship and presence.

4. Subdued liberals
The two newest justices, Barack Obama appointees Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, have shown to be no-nonsense, aggressive questioners. They questioned both sides in the argument, but neither matched the rhetorical firepower of Scalia or Chief Justice John Roberts.
Kagan and Scalia got into a debate over an argument made by "traditional" marriage supporters -- that it promotes "socially responsible" procreation among a married man and woman. Scalia suggested there was considerable disagreement over the effects on children of single-sex adoption.
Kagan: "Suppose a state said 'because we think that the focus of marriage really should be on procreation, we are not going to give marriage licenses anymore to any couple where both people are over the age of 55.' Would that be constitutional?"
Charles Cooper, attorney supporting Proposition 8: "No, your honor, it would not be constitutional."
Kagan: "Because that's the same state interest, I would think, you know. If you are over the age of 55, you don't help us serve the government's interest in regulating procreation through marriage. So why is that different" than denying homosexuals from marrying?
Kagan: "I can just assure you, if both the woman and the man are over the age of 55, there are not a lot of children coming out of that marriage."
Scalia, matching humor with humor: "I suppose we could have a questionnaire at the marriage desk when people come in to get the marriage -- you know, Are you fertile, or are you not fertile?" Laughter in the courtroom. "I suspect this court would hold that to be an unconstitutional invasion of privacy, don't you think?"
Kagan's questioning was sharp and focused and put the lawyer on the spot. But it was delivered in a methodical, even low-key fashion. She wanted an answer but was not especially eager to score points with the audience or the public at large.
Contrast that with Scalia, who seems to gleefully play to the crowd. He topped Kagan's funny remark with another of his own, determined it seemed to get the last laugh.
Among the justices themselves, being either an aggressive questioner or a thoughtful, more subdued questioner does not earn you points either way when it comes to voting on the merits. Each has a personal style. But public perception does count, and many progressive legal activists have lamented the fact that none of the four more liberal justices, who include Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, have the personality or inclination to be a swashbuckler in public court sessions -- giving a full-throated voice to their views.
5. Courtroom flavor
The Supreme Court has a distinct aura when big cases are argued. The audience of several hundred spectators is juiced, the justices seem more energetic and engaged in their questioning.
That was true on Tuesday.
Celebrities like actor/director Rob Reiner (an original legal opponent of Proposition 8) added to the flavor. The competing rallies outside the court, and the several hundred people waiting in line in the cold for a precious court seat, completed the drama.
More arguments are scheduled for Wednesday on a challenge to a federal law known as the Defense of Marriage Act. That 1996 legislation denies a range of financial and other benefits to legally married same-sex couples.
After that, the court will quiet down once more.
The justices will sit down this week in private session -- just the nine of them -- and secretly vote at least preliminarily on these cases. Opinion-writing will be assigned, and then the task of crafting a ruling acceptable to a majority will commence.
The outcome will probably not be known until late June.
