MP's old ex-gay views worryQueensland
Thu 27th Oct, 2011 in Local News
Queensland MP Fiona Simpson's old comments claiming gay people can "grow into heterosexuality over time" are disturbing her political rivals who are concerned she may oversee community services in a possible Liberal National Party government.
A 2002 speech from Simpson (pictured) extolling the virtues of 'ex-gay' therapies offered by Exodus Ministries has been dredged up by a Bligh government minister, and now the LNP member is being challenged on whether she still believes gay people can and should be counseled into becoming straight.
Simpson's speech to Parliament during the Discrimination Law Amendment Bill debate in 2002 included this assertion, pointed out the Brisbane Times – "Today I was talking with a particular gentleman who is a former homosexual. They have a compassionate understanding and a desire to get alongside people who choose and who want to leave the homosexual lifestyle.
"This is about offering them options and not imposing only one set of values on other people."
Psychological harm
Brisbane-basedPsychologist Paul Martin, who has lived through so-called 'ex-gay' therapy himself, says he's very concerned when such services are offered, and hopes Simpson's views have changed since her speech 10 years ago.
The ex-gay movement has the potential to psychologically damage innocent people and may be contribute to suicidal behaviour," he points out.
Martin has worked with dozens of people over the last 25 years who have recovered from these programmes, and stresses that "They are some of the most psychologically damaged people I have ever worked with; many are survivors of suicide attempts."
Exodus believes that homosexuality is a sin, evil and a psychological disorder. Their programs include 'reparative therapy' which seeks to repair damage from childhood which they say causes same sex attraction. There is no evidence to support this and in fact all of the major psychological associations around the world have made it clear that this is incorrect and potentially dangerous.
When a politician such as Simpson makes misguided comments about ex-gay therapies, it has the capacity to confirm these negative beliefs about themselves which can lead to depression, anxiety, substance abuse and self harm."
Comments flow
The Brisbane Times' story today has attracted a number of opposing views, many of them worryingly agreeing with Simpson's 10-year-old endorsement of Exodus Ministries' aims.
"Perhaps Mrs Simpson may grow out of being ignorant and uninformed," typed one reader. "Voicing her personal views on this in parliament I find offensive as I'm sure she would if I was to offer suggestions about her and the woman she has become." Others agreed, one labeling some NLP members as being "stuck in the '50s timewarp."
But others hailed the MPs 'courage' at the way she addressed homosexuality: "Wow what courage Fiona Simpson has to publicize the reality that homosexuality is a developmental issue (as we all have) rather than something inherent. I so object to the proposal to redefine the word 'marriage' for the sake of 2% of the population."
Here at Same Same we're often concerned about the level of homophobic ignorance these sorts of stories dredge up, and hope that with time and care, anti-gay readers of the Brisbane Times can one day be relieved of their own "psychological disorders."
We'll attempt to contact Fiona Simpson to clarify her current views about ex-gay ministries.

How to create a custom file classification mechanism
The File Classification Infrastructure (FCI) provides a set of classification mechanisms by default. When mroe custom logic is required to classify files, a classification plug-in can be created. These plug-ins represent a primary developer extensibility points for file classification.
The Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 contains the following samples.
- Customization through FCI plug-in based samples
- Sample for enumerating classification properties using the FCI API
Customization through FCI plug-in based samples
Each of these SDK samples results in a DLL and comes with a registration script for registering the plug-in through COM+, setting up an execution environment for the COM server. COM servers can also be hosted in more custom ways. This registration script registers the plug-in for FCI by using its GUID.
Any FCI classification rule specifies one classification plug-in. For more information, see Module Design in How to develop a custom FCI Classifier in Managed Code. To allow for behavior variation for a single plug-in between rules, each rule may include zero or more name-value pairs that are passed to the plug-in. These pairs are configured in the rule through COM, WMI, or Windows PowerShell.
- PowerShell host classifier sample
This sample consists of a plugin that allows an administrator to specify a PowerShell script to provide a property value through FCI.
Windows Server 2008 R2: This functionality is not available in the operating system; therefore, this sample shows how this was done before it was integrated into the operating system.This sample is installed by default at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Samples\winbase\FSRM\PowerShellHostClassifier.
- IFilter based classifier sample
This sample plugin processes the content of files. However plug-ins are provided with a binary stream of the file contents. The sample invokes an IFilter that translates the binary stream of a file into text by file type. IFilters are what the search indexer uses to extract text from a file. The search for the keyword is a simple string search.
This sample is installed by default at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Samples\winbase\FSRM\SampleIFilterBasedClassifier.
- Text based classifier sample
Similar to the IFilter based classification sample, this sample plug-in searches a specified file for a specified string. If given a binary file, it searches it as it would a text file.
This sample is installed by default at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Samples\winbase\FSRM\SampleTextBasedClassifier.
- Managed content classifier sample
This sample is the same as the text based classifier sample but it is built using C# instead of C++.
This sample is installed by default at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Samples\winbase\FSRM\ManagedContentClassifier.
Sample for enumerating classification properties using the FCI API
For application developers who want to access the classification properties of a file, there are FSRM Classes for working with the properties of a given set of files.
- Enumerate classification properties sample
This sample is installed by default at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Samples\winbase\FSRM\EnumClassificationProperties.
- Managed get enumerated properties sample
This sample is installed by default at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\Samples\winbase\FSRM\ManagedGetEnumProperties.

The Importance of Phonological Awareness in Reading Development
Did you know that children develop reading skills before being introduced to written language? During the past 20 years, research on reading, reading development, and reading instruction has revealed that a strong understanding of spoken language is critical to the development of basic reading and writing skills.

SEABA team Malaysia led from the start and quelled Uzbekistan's challenge for a 82-76 win in the play off for the 11th position on Saturday.
Ghaleb Reda scored 12 of his18 points for the game at a crucial juncture to calm the Lebanese nerves and steer them to a 101-53 win against Uzbekistan in Group E on Wednesday. The win put the Cedars one step into the last eight, and only an improbable Malaysian win – by a sizable margin at that – against Chinese Taipei in the game that follows can stop them from making the quarterfinal play-offs.
Aleksandr Kozlov's game-high 21 points went in vain as Uzbekistan failed to carry forward a mid-game rally and went down 75-80 to Malaysia in a Group E game on Tuesday.
Naturalized forward Moon Tae Jong nee Jarod Stevenson scored a game-high 21 points all in the first half – 15 of them in the first quarter to put Korea in control right from the start, from where the East Asian team just rolled on to maintain their unbeaten status beating Uzbekistan 106-57 in Group E on Monday.
Twice defending champions handed out blemishless and merciless 132-38 pounding to Uzbekistan wrapping up their Group B engagements on a super high.

Seniors Seeking Consult Jobs
News Feature
When she signed up for a resume check with a counselor at the Office of Career Services (OCS), Yang-Sze Choo '95 wasn't quite sure what she wanted in a chosen profession.
But all the other students who signed up on the list had written the same things: investment banking and consulting. So consulting it was.
"I didn't know what it even was at the time," Choo says.
Today, along with some 500 other seniors, Choo will submit job applications through the Office of Career Services in the hopes of finding a consulting position. These applications will be pooled with 200 previously submitted applications for spring recruiting.
It seems as though the number of undergraduates entering the consulting recruitment process has been increasing over the last few years. Some 715 became involved in recruiting last year, says Marc P. Cosentino, assistant director of OCS.
"This has become by far the most popular industry on campus," Cosentino says. "It's been an explosion we've seen here."
It is difficult to say exactly how much interest in the field has grown. But these days, about three out of every four students who come into Cosentino's office indicate an interest in consulting.
The number of firms who come to OCS has also increased over the past few years, Cosentino says. A few years ago consulting and investment banking made up 50 percent of the jobs offered through OCS. This year, they compose 65 percent.
What's Consulting
If students such as Choo find consulting a mystcry, it is perhaps because even consultants themselves have a difficult time explaining the field.
"The short definition is that we help our clients make more money," says Arthur Wu '93 of the Boston based Corporate Decisions Inc. (CDI). "We help them improve their Firms hire consulting companies such as CDI to give objective and innovative advice. The consulting firms send out teams of professionals to access the issues, formulate recommendations and sometimes even help implement the plan. For example, "a large company's profit trails off and wants to grow," says Brian J. Hirschfeld '93, also of CDI. "We have to understand the business, look at value migration, understand what the customer is demanding and which customers are most profitable." Many college seniors join consulting firms right after graduation. About 75 percent of Oliver Wyman & Co.'s professionals have only undergraduate degrees. First, recent graduates come cheap. Second, no technical trades or skills are needed for consulting. Consultants emphasize this breadth as one of the inherent aspects of the business. "There is not a specific trade school that makes someone successful. We're interested in analytic skills which can be defined by any major," Hirschfeld says. "If you've never seen a balance sheet before, that shouldn't stop you." As for the credibility of a consultant with only a bachelor's degree, it's not hard for client firms to trust undergraduate level consultants, says Sameer A. Chishty '93 of McKinsey & Co. in New York. "It's a well-known 'secret' that McKinsey works for IBM. IBM hires the company as a whole, the experienced as well as the freshmen associates," Chishty, a former Crimson executive, says. "If I know nothing about computers, that's okay, because someone here probably does." Clients may at first be taken aback by consultants' youth, especially since the client knows more than the consultant about the industry. But they come to realize the consultant has many insights to add, says Paresh N. Shah at Monitor Company in Cambridge. In addition, most beginning consultants are introduced gradually to responsibility. "We don't throw people to a board of directors their first day of work," Shah says. "We offer training and a support system." Tough Lifestyle Students give various reasons for their interest in consulting. But one common explanation offered is the attractiveness of the lifestyle. "I think a lot of it has to do with lifestyle," Cosentino says. "A typical investment banker put in 80 to 85 hours of work. For consulting, it's around 60 to 65." While consultant firms hesitate to divulge salary rates, starting salaries typically range from $35,000 to $40,000. Paolo Abelli, a Business School student, worked for Monitor Co. before returning to academics. He calls consulting the "liberal arts" of business. "In banking they treat you like a CD-ROM, turning you on and off," Abelli says. "In consulting, you're put in a pretty good position...a good consulting experience will teach you how to ask questions." Many firms say the educational benefit of being a consultant is one of the profession's biggest attractions. "Consulting has given a strong impression that you can go in quickly and make an impact," says York M. Eggleston IV '92, who worked for New York-based Booz Allen & Hamilton Inc. "There is the impression that this is where the smart people are. Hey, you can continue to get an education here." Industry-Wide Growth The growing number of people entering consulting after college reflects the growth of the industry itself. In 1993, some 80,000 consultants sold $17 billion of advice, a 10 percent increase from 1992, according to a recent issue of Business Week. Monitor has seen a 45 percent annual growth rate in its professionals. It now employs 550 consultants. Consulting's popularity may also reflect changing admissions policy in business schools, which strongly emphasize work experience as a prerequisite for admission. Harvard Business School does not generally admit any applicants straight from college, says Clare R. Scherrer '92, a business tutor at Winthrop House. Scherrer was given a deferred admission there and entered consulting for the two-year interim. "Harvard's business school works by the case method, and 50 percent of your grade is based on participation," she says. "The more work experience you have, you have more relative contributions in class." For recent students who plan to attend business school eventually, consulting firms have developed "business analyst" or "associate consultant" programs. McKinsey offers a two--to three-year version. According to Chishty, about half of a given class who choose to leave the firm look for other jobs, often with their consulting clients. The other half return to graduate and business school at a subsidized tuition. Other firms, such as Monitor, hire recent graduates from college for an indefinite term. If Monitor employees choose to apply to business school, 85 percent of them get accepted at their top choice. As soon as students decide they are interested in consulting, they participate in information sessions and workshops about the field and specific companies. The workshops range in size from a handful of students to several hundred. An information session at the Charles Hotel for McKinsey drew approximately 400 students. After the sessions, students submit resumes to consulting groups through OCS. "It's a lot like applying for college," says James C. Murray '95. "Your life is up for evaluation and you have to fit it on one piece of paper." Most firms claim several employees will read the resumes. Then the companies organize at least three rounds of interviews. "We expect 40 to 50 applications from Harvard alone," says Timothy M. Riley, vice president of human resources at the local consulting firm Renaissance Strategy. "The first round we contact live or by telephone. We will have about 30 interviews with other graduates of the school. Finally, we select a subset to make offers. We expect about half to accept." Oliver Wyman & Co. has a particularly intense hiring procedure, says Stein E. Berre, a consultant for the company in New York. After initial screening and campus interviews, Oliver Wyman invites candidates to visit certain company offices. Then, on a Saturday, five to six people at a time try to solve three case studies in three half-hour sessions. They are informed of the decision the next day. Many students say they feel the selection process is too competitive. "It's very overwhelming," says Rachel A. Heit '95. "Added to this, everyone wants to know where you're applying." The numbers support this impression of competition. Last year, Monitor received more than 6000 undergraduate resumes, about 600 of which were from Harvard graduates. This year, CDI saw close to 600 resumes from OCS. Renaissance expects 200 applications for 10 to 15 spots, which will be filled in the next 12 months. * What Firms Look For Company recruiters mention similar sets of characteristics for their ideal consulting candidate: analytic skills, intelligence, a diversity of extracurricular activities, leadership skills, intellectual curiosity, maturity and poise. Other skills in demand include computer expertise and knowledge of foreign languages. "Grades are definitely important to get consulting jobs," Hirschfeld says. "Nearly 100 percent of the companies require a transcript." While most consulting firms do not set specific grade standards, many recruiters say the standards are very high. "I don't think any of them has had less than a 3.5," Riley says of Renaissance employees. "Most are, in fact, higher." Consultants say they are especially interested in the applicants' interviews. A popular approach in the interview is to offer a case question or a brain teaser in which the applicant must estimate a quantity or size. "These questions include 'How many pianos are there in the U.S.?' or 'How big is a certain market?'" Wu said at OCS in a presentation to seniors on Tuesday. Competition With such fierce competition for jobs, it's somewhat surprising that many students enter consulting recruitment because they have nowhere else to go. "When you're a senior you realize there are very few things you can do," says Christian A. Maas '95. "I don't think anyone's really ready to make a decision." "I'm writing a thesis. I had to finish running Model U.N. I don't have much time. Harvard's system of recruiting was lucky for me," Maas adds. "[But] we are limited by Harvard because there are few options that recruit outside consulting and investment banking." Students also say they are attracted to consulting because the field accepts applicants of all concentrations, and they cannot find other jobs. "People want a high-paying job where they don't care you did English for 10 years," Choo says. Students hesitate to say whether the mass movement into consulting reflects a general weakness in liberal arts education. But even if so many students are interested in consulting out of default, Cosentino says this is not a big problem. "If you look back through time, a lot of students don't know what they're doing. It's their first call and they'll change maybe five or six times. That's okay," Cosentino says. "Besides, companies can pick up on that. They want people who know what they want. These people can get very far.

Fluvial & Marine AggregatesWinning fluvial and marine aggregates for the construction industry has always been among the activities of DEME-companies. As a matter of fact, those were the very roots of one of the constitutive DEME-companies, Ackermans & van Haaren, which started business in Belgium with gravel dredging in the river Meuse at the beginning of the 20th Century. Gravel dredging in the bedrock of the river Meuse has always continued, in the eighties and nineties particularly with the dipper dredgers Samson and Durme, each with a complete sand and gravel processing plant. In addition, DEME has been involved for many decades in gravel dredging off Le Havre and Dieppe in France and supply to French gravel processing companies. In 2000 the DEME Group took the decision to make a definite step forward in the segment of fluvial and marine aggregate winning and supply. The largest ever gravel trailing suction hopper dredger "Charlemagne" was built and fully equipped with a state-of-the-art dry discharge installation. Moreover, the "Charlemagne" beats any other gravel dredger ever built with its potential to win sand and gravel to depths of 65 m. This offers DEME's gravel specialist DBM (DEME Building Materials) the opportunity to win aggregates in further offshore and less ecologically sensitive areas – a major trump card for future development. The company DBM was established in June 2000 and has the benefit of an important portfolio of long-term concessions, spanning an area from northern Germany over the UK to the Seine estuary in France. Today, DBM has succeeded to build up strong marketing positions, thanks to partnerships with local companies and its presence on regional markets. Companies

"We Can Live Here" Video for NASA Haughton-Mars Proejct, 2003
Trish Garner helps Elaine fasten her helmet
Standing at base camp, Sam Burbank and Elaine are about to embark on their first videoshoot.
Sam Burbank can be seen in the helmet's reflection.
Elaine would have preferred to have a whole crew of actors in the video. However, the scientists are busy 24/7 during their stay on Devon Island. Even the cameraman had many other jobs to complete, and videoshoots had to be scheduled in carefully.
Cleverly hidden ventilation holes were cut in Elaine's helmet courtesy of Hamilton Sundstrand.
Elaine sung a verse atop the hood of the HumVee.
Kimik made sure that no polar bears came nearby during the video shoots. Or did Kimik just want to get into the important shots?
The Mars Society habitat can be seen off in the distance.
Pascal stuck a NASA Haughton-Mars Project sticker on the front of Elaine's suit, which was a nice finishing touch.
Her helmet, neck cover, and one layer of thin silk long johns underneath her constume keeps Elaine warm in the Arctic climate.
The greenhouse serves as a sleek backdrop for Elaine's space boots.
Elaine and Sam exchange goofy looks after she sings the line "gravity sucks" for the 100th time.
Pascal drives the HumVee along patiently.
The words "we could live here" sung in front of a barren, frigid landscape may not seem to appealing to the average person. An artist will sketch habitats and people over the landscape in some of the shots such as this one.
Sam shoots from afar to get some long shots of Elaine on the fortress.
Elaine's skirt waves in the Martian wind. How does a skirt keep the pressure in? Don't worry, in a pop music video, anything goes.

That should tell you how great today was. I cannot form a coherent thought. I'm way out of my league here amongst these amazing and smart women, but they inspire me to want to at least try to be part of their league. Their ethic is one of collaboration, and you get the sense that everyone wants to help everyone else become better. The more experienced scholars want to bring in the less experienced scholars. Good lord, but they actually talk about graduate students as junior colleagues and not as lazy losers (which was what so many of my early professors did). I'm also amazed at how we have so many similar experiences, entering into this work and entering it as both women and women studying the history of women in departments with the good ole boys and their golden heirs. Yet, as the song goes, they're still here. My life and career would have had a much different path had I met any one of these women or been introduced to this conference fifteen or even ten years ago, before I was damaged; but that is over, I have work to do.

I bought THE QUEEN IN WINTER mostly because it contained a short story by a recent favorite of mine, Sarah Monette. I was pleased to find another story written by a friendly acquaintance of mine, Sharon Shinn. A third was by Lynn Kurland, whose work Id often seen but never read, and Claire Delacroix wrote the fourth. THE QUEEN IN WINTER is billed as four all new tales of enchantment and love, and thats exactly what it is. I really, really enjoyed this anthology. In A Whisper of Spring, the completely pampered fairy princess Iolaire finds herself in a nightmare predicament. Shes been captured by a renegade who needs her for a bride, and if she says no, she dies. In addition, her own father has banished her because she got abducted. Help is coming, but she doesnt know it, and she has to figure out how to escape before her captor kills her. In the meantime, a human visitor to the fairy court whos seen Iolaire and fallen in love with her comes to her aid. This sounds insipid boiled down to bare bones but its not. Iolaire has a wonderful character, and so does her human lover. Sharon Shinns When Winter Comes is just as delightful as Shinns writing usually is. Sosie protects her sister Annie and her sisters illegitimate son, Kinnon, from her parents, and is willing to accept their exile to continue protecting them. Its evident Kinnons father was far from ordinary, since magical infant Kinnon can wreak havoc when hes unhappy. Sosie, Annie, and Kinnon run into all kinds of trouble and meet a very decent king. Sosie is what we all wish we would be: determined, loyal, industrious, and brave. Youll love her. Im saving Claire Delacroixs The Kiss of the Snow Queen. I had to put by one treat out of this book for a time when I really need it. The first story I read is the last in the book, Sarah Monettes A Gift of Wings. I love Monettes richness and her unlikely pairings. Maur, a young wizard who has been disabled by torture, is being taken by his bodyguard (and former lover) Agido, to see a doctor in another land who may repair the damage to Maurs hands and spirit. Agido adores Maur, but she thinks he no longer loves her: Maur loves Agido, but thinks she must despise his weakness. In a snowbound inn, a murder occurs, and to free Agido of suspicion they must join forces. Really, this is a wonderful anthology, and I think it would make a great gift to give anyone who loves both science fiction and romance, with a twist of the unconventional.
When you get together with a friend and you talk about your gripes and who doesnt? what pops to the top of your mind? For some people, its paying their bills. Maybe its a bureaucrat at the electric company who wont correct a mistake, or the unexpectedly high telephone bill because your teenager got 500 text messages. For other people, it might be their in-laws, or even their own blood relatives. Mothers who wont admit they need help, aunts who steal the silverware, brothers who take up with unsavory women, or the cousin who wont return your chainsaw theyre all sources of aggravation. A popular corner of the irritating world is populated by contractors and service providers who dont deliver what they contracted to provide. These people dont answer their phones or return messages, I find, and they always come in over estimate or cant get the matching brick. Sometimes they dont show up to mow, or clean, or rip the old tiles from your roof. As I listened to these stories and told my own, a theme I hadnt recognized before became clear. What irritates me most is grocery stores; not specifically the stores themselves, but the people who are shopping in them. From the moms and dads who let their toddlers hold on to the front of cart, which is clearly unsafe, to the people who stop and chat, blocking the aisle -- other shoppers are clearly a big red peak on my aggravation chart. There are the people who have long personal conversations on their cell phones in the store; the women who are so intent on picking out exactly the right roast that their cart blocks off all the beef from other shoppers (meaning me); and of course, my favorite, the person who has to read the entire label on every single brand of kidney beans. Once I recognized that the grocery store was a huge source of anger for me, I tried to go shopping at times the crowd is thin. Thats unpredictable, unfortunately, but Tuesday at nine in the morning seems to be pretty good. Before school is out is always better than after, weekdays are better than weekends, mornings are usually better than afternoons. Thats as refined as my plan has gotten. The next time youre cruising through your local grocery, Im sure youll all remember your common courtesy lessons. After all, if the shopper behind you is short, round, female, and disgruntled, it may well be me. Charlaine Harris |

JERUSALEM (AP) -- President Barack Obama has told the president of Israel that his country will have "no greater friend than the United States."
Obama also told Shimon Peres that the work their countries do together will make it more likely that children growing up in the region will have the future opportunity for security, peace and prosperity.
Obama spoke Wednesday after meeting privately with Peres. It was Obama's first visit to Israel as president of the United States, and the first foreign trip of his second term in office.

Austria: A Highly Developed Springboard for Europe.
Austria, with an area of 83.850 km² and a population of around 8,1 million is a member of the European Union and as such is part of a home market incorporating 455 million people. Austria is a highly developed industrial nation and, with a per capita gross domestic product of EUR 27.000.-, is among the ten richest nations in the world.
Not least, Austrias central position in Europe makes it THE springboard for international business in the east of the continent, with which it forms the Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) region. A well developed CEE network of Austrian banks, insurance companies, business and tax advisors and Vienna International Airport the best equipped airport for West-East transfers make Austria and Vienna in particular the CEE base for 1.000 international businesses. Among them are 300 multinationals including McDonalds, Baan, Coca Cola, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, BASF, Generali, Renault, Siemens, Computer Associates, SAP, Sony DADC, Eli Lilly, Magna, Suzuki, BP, Henkel, Boehringer Ingelheim,...
There are some 27.000 firms in Austria devoted specifically to Information and Communication Technology. At the moment, the growth rate stands at 3.000 businesses each year. In 2004, the total turnover of the Austrian ICT economy came to EUR 28,5 billion (domestic and foreign), of which the domestic market accounted for EUR 19,3 billion, which, measured against GDP is an amount greatly above the EU average. (Compare the turnover of the Austrian tourist trade, well known for its success: EUR 21,16 billion.) The ICT sector is a very significant presence on Austrias Research and Development (R&D) landscape. Among the total of 100 university institutions in the country, every fourth is active in a particular segment of ICT, whether it be Artificial Intelligence, Multimedia or Software-Engineering.
Well-established transport links by road, rail, air or ship bring the most important centres of Central and Eastern Europe into easy reach.
The following table shows distances from Vienna for various European cities, the graphic shows the flight-times from Austria in hours:
Austria boasts an especially efficient telecommunications infrastructure and one of the highest levels of market penetration in the field of mobile telephony. The country is also well above the European average when it comes to domestic and business internet connections.
Research & Development is carried out in more than 2.000 technology and industry oriented organisation. Many international concerns with bases in Austria in the area of ICT, such as Siemens, Ericsson and Philips, run from here globally oriented centres for R&D expertise. Excellent legal protection of patents and the availability of top quality research potential through engineers and academics from a variety of disciplines also benefit companies.
The education system is excellent and is in keeping with the demands of the economy.
One of the European Unions lowest levels of unemployment, the third lowest rate of strikes, an outstandingly motivated workforce, high levels in growth of productivity and product quality, falling unit wage costs, the high levels of loyalty usual among Austrian employees and their identification with the business goals all go towards making Austria, despite being a country with high wages, one of the most attractive places in the world to set up a business.
Austria offers a very business friendly tax system: corporation tax is set at 25 %, there is no wealth tax or trade tax. There is also a very interesting model of group taxation, in which profits and losses from sister companies can be written off against those of the parent company in Austria. This means that tax allowances for Research and Development, training and a variety of options for tax write-offs fall from the prescribed 25 % to effectively around 22 %.
Alongside the highly attractive economic situation, Austrias location also brings with it much more in the way of quality advantages. Austria boasts wonderfully untouched nature, world-beating culture, a wide variety of leisure and sport activities, excellent medical provision, the highest standard of living and security for person and possessions.

The Graduate Schools of Indiana University, Bloomington and Howard University, Washington, DC have established a Future Faculty Teaching Fellowship (FFTF) exchange program between our campuses. In contrast to our internal FFTF program with the IU regional campuses, this program will involve a mutual exchange. The goals of the program are twofold:
- To provide an opportunity for an IUB graduate student to teach in a very different cultural environment. Howard University is a private, urban, historically black university(HBCU). The selected student will function as a visiting faculty member in their host department.
- To provide an opportunity for a Howard University graduate student to teachin the very different cultural environment provided by IUB, where they also will function as a visiting faculty member. We hope that a further benefit for IUB will be an enhanced ability to attract visiting fellows into IUB tenure track lines, and to retain them through their academic careers.
- Be in good standing with their departments and the University.
- Have been admitted to candidacy by 1 January 2009.
- Have a letter of formal support from their PhD advisor.
- Have taken a formal pedagogy course, or be willing to take such a course in summer
- Be able to relocate to Washington, DC for the 2009-10 academic year.
Selected interns must:
- Meet the professional standards and duties of a faculty member at Howard University.
- Teach one course per semester.
- Participate in typical faculty obligations including, but not restricted to, faculty meetings.
- Shadow a full-time faculty mentor at Howard University.
Selected interns will receive:
- A stipend of $20,000, paid by IUB. This stipend is to be used to pay housing and living
expenses in Washington, DC and to cover the cost of IUB tuition and fees.
- Reimbursement for travel expenses to Washington, DC in the autumn and to Bloomington,
IN the following spring.
- Office facilities and access to University services equivalent to those provided a junior
faculty member.
- A formal review of their performance each semester by their faculty mentor at Howard
Application instructions:
The application should take the same form as a formal academic job application. It should include:
• Letter of interest
• Statement of teaching philosophy and courses that you are prepared to teach
• Information about your pedagogical training
• Letter of support from your thesis advisor
Applications should be sent to the attention of:
Dean Maxine Watson
University Graduate School
Kirkwood Hall 111
Application deadline: 1 February 2009
Screening process:
- Initial screening will be carried out by the University Graduate School.
- Final selections will be made by the host department(s) at Howard University.
We expect to host Orlando Taylor, Dean of the Graduate School at Howard University, on the
IUB campus in early February for meetings with potential candidates.

Obama Administration Pushing Home Loans For People With Bad Credit – American Thinker
The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over while getting the same result. During the early 2000′s, the government – and Wall Street – urged banks and mortgage companies to lower their standards and give creative loans to people with bad or marginal credit. The result? An epic meltdown that we are still trying to recover from today.
In the last few years, Wall Street has once again begun to gamble recklessly in the mortgage security market. And now we find out that the administration is pushing home loans for those same marginal consumers.
The Obama administration is engaged in a broad push to make more home loans available to people with weaker credit, an effort that officials say will help power the economic recovery but that skeptics say could open the door to the risky lending that caused the housing crash in the first place.
President Obama's economic advisers and outside experts say the nation's much-celebrated housing rebound is leaving too many people behind, including young people looking to buy their first homes and individuals with credit records weakened by the recession.
In response, administration officials say they are working to get banks to lend to a wider range of borrowers by taking advantage of taxpayer-backed programs – including those offered by the Federal Housing Administration – that insure home loans against default.
Housing officials are urging the Justice Department to provide assurances to banks, which have become increasingly cautious, that they will not face legal or financial recriminations if they make loans to riskier borrowers who meet government standards but later default.
Officials are also encouraging lenders to use more subjective judgment in determining whether to offer a loan and are seeking to make it easier for people who owe more than their properties are worth to refinance at today's low interest rates, among other steps.
Obama pledged in his State of the Union address to do more to make sure more Americans can enjoy the benefits of the housing recovery, but critics say encouraging banks to lend as broadly as the administration hopes will sow the seeds of another housing disaster and endanger taxpayer dollars.
"If that were to come to pass, that would open the floodgates to highly excessive risk and would send us right back on the same path we were just trying to recover from," said Ed Pinto, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and former top executive at mortgage giant Fannie Mae.
Banks and mortgage companies are extremely leery of lending to these customers because the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill criminalized the process. If a consumer defaults on a loan, they can go to the new enforcement agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and lodge a complaint against the lender that they were had – they didn't understand the terms of the loan. If found guilty, the offender can go to prison for a long time. This is a decided discouragement against giving loans to people who are likely to default.
So what's the rush? if consumers have "weak" credit as a result of the recession, let them build it back up by living within their means and paying their bills on time. And why should the taxpayer be on the hook for someone who has demonstrated in the past that they are irresponsible?
There are still millions of unsold housing units out there with the prospect that many of them will never be inhabited again. Some neighborhoods in Florida and Nevada still look like ghost towns. This is hardly the time to be pushing marginal credit risks into taking tens of thousands of dollars in new debt.

Clinton, Obama And The Subprime Mortgage Crisis – Let Freedom Ring
September 27, 2012
Ironically, Barack Obama led the effort that caused the mess that needs cleaning up. Barack Obama was a pioneering contributor to the national subprime real estate bubble – the attack dog that terrorized banks to make mortgage loans that they did not want to make. According to research by TheDailyCaller, about half of the 186 African-American clients in President Obama's landmark 1995 mortgage discrimination lawsuit against Citibank have since gone bankrupt or received foreclosure notices. As few as 19 of those 186 clients still own homes with clean credit ratings, following a decade in which Obama and other progressives pushed banks to provide "booby trap" adjustable rate mortgages to poor African Americans.
The origins of our current Great Recession began neither with the Obama Administration, nor the Bush Administration, but with the Clinton Administration. In June 1995 President Clinton introduced his National Homeownership Strategy, which included the expansion of Credit Default Swaps (CDSs). President Clinton, Vice President Gore and Secretary Cisneros announced the administration's comprehensive new strategy for raising home-ownership in America to an all-time high. Representatives from ACORN were guests of honor at the ceremony. In his remarks, Clinton emphasized that: "Our homeownership strategy will not cost the taxpayers one extra cent. It will not require legislation." Clinton meant that informal partnerships between Fannie and Freddie and groups like ACORN would make mortgages available to customers "who have historically been excluded from homeownership."
When President Clinton introduced his National Homeownership Strategy in June 1995, no one realized it would create the path of doom that would have such a long-term devastating effect on the economy, particularly for millions of Americas who experienced foreclosure. The volume of foreclosures, and foreclosure trends, are telling and underappreciated economic indicators for the American economy. Foreclosures accelerated as the Housing Price Bubble began to form in 1997. Based on Realty Trac, Federal Reserve, Equifax sources, in the last year of the Clinton Administration foreclosures were already on the rise even though the economy was expanding (470,000 foreclosures in 2000). The legacy of the National Homeownership Strategy would be millions of foreclosures during the Bush and then Obama Administrations.
As the table below shows, foreclosures still have not peaked. During the first three years of the Obama Administration, there have been 11,221,609 foreclosures that are expected to continue its trend upward in 2012 (for a 4 year total of approximately 16 million).
Year | Foreclosures | Foreclosure Filings | Home Repossessions |
2011 | 3,920,418 | 3,580,000 | 1,147,000 |
2010 | 3,843,548 | 3,500,000 | 1,125,000 |

Barack Obama and the Citibank Lawsuit
It is important to note that the last four years of the Clinton term experienced a housing boom, driven primarily by subprime homeownership, which helped balance the budget, create millions of jobs in housing, and eliminated unnecessary entitlements. Unfortunately the nation is now paying for the ill-fated redistribution of wealth policies of Obama, Clinton, and other progressives. Their Subprime Social Engineering experiment lead to the real estate market collapse and Great Recession (2007-12) that we are mired in today, and will be for several more years.
Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act in 1977. Congress repeatedly expanded the law, and in combination with Clinton's regulators, effectively gave liberals in government the power to greatly harm a bank's business if it did not increase minority mortgages. Citibank felt this pressure when it sought federal approval for a merger with Travelers Group in 1998. It only got approval from the Clinton administration after it promised to provide \$115 billion for subprime homeownership loans. Before striking its deal with the Clinton Administration, Citibank needed to get rid of the Chicago lawsuit by paying off Barack Obama and the other Chicago lawyers: the settlement provided \$950,000 for the lawyers, \$20,000 for each of the three named plaintiffs, and \$360,000 for the 183 other clients. (The \$1,965per client was not in cash, but coupons.) Although legal fees are customarily 33% of settlements, in this case, the team of Obama lawyers take was 66%.
Bush Administration
"I think that the responsibility that the Democrats had may rest more in resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress, or by me when I was President, to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac." – Former President Bill Clinton (D-AR), September 25, 2008
"Like a lot of my Democratic colleagues I was too slow to appreciate the recklessness of Fannie and Freddie. I defended their efforts to encourage affordable homeownership when in retrospect I should have heeded the concerns raised by their regulator in 2004. Frankly, I wish my Democratic colleagues would admit when it comes to Fannie and Freddie, we were wrong." – Congressman Artur Davis (D-AL), September 30, 2008
Presidents Clinton and Obama, Senators Reid and Dodd, Congressman Barney Frank, and the liberal media all owe an apology to former President Bush for not heeding his warning about reforming Fannie and Freddie. After only a few months in office, in April 2001, the Bush Administration's first budget (FY02 budget) declares that the size of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is "a potential problem," because "financial trouble of a large GSE could cause strong repercussions in financial markets, affecting Federally insured entities and economic activity." The need for Freddie and Fannie reform was repeated at least 17 more times by Bush Administration officials.
When the Bush Administration came into office in January 2001, the subprime mortgage market was already a freight train that long ago left the station. Subprime mortgage activity grew an average 25% a year from 1994 to 2003, with the industry accounted for about \$330 billion, or 9%, of U.S. mortgages in 2003, up from \$35 billion a decade earlier. The Mortgage Bankers Association of America (MBAA) reported that subprime loans in the third quarter of 2002 had a delinquency rate 5 1/2 times higher than that for prime loans (14.28 versus 2.54 percent) and the rate at which foreclosures were begun for subprime loans was more than 10 times that for prime loans (2.08 versus 0.20 percent).
Our Future
Aided by Barack Obama and ACORN foot soldiers, the Clinton Administration actions of creating and pushing subprime mortgages has had a devastating effect on all American homeowners. Americans bought homes at inflated prices, which were further driven up by unscrupulous lenders and speculators. Collapse was inevitable. The resulting tremendous drain on wealth threatens the ability of families to send their children to college, and have any type of nest egg for retirement. This is just another example of Democratic politicians misguided social engineering interference in a market. Their interference not only did not work, but left us with a legacy of economic hardship and devastation.
And to think that President Clinton's National Homeownership Strategy never would have happened if President Clinton did not win election in 1992, and reelection in 1996. Today we face an even more perilous economic future if we reelect President Obama, whose vampire socialism policies are only likely to continue to hurt all Americans, especially the poor and middle class.
Unfortunately, in a few short years, President Obama has done more harm than good. In particular, during the 2009 Christmas media lull, President Obama issued a series of Executive Orders that further distorted the real estate market:
Increased the amount – from $400 billion to unlimited – that the US federal government would commit to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the event those agencies/companies could no longer service the mortgages it held/guaranteed.
Deregulated the total amount of mortgages that Fannie and Freddie can own or guarantee, enabling the GSEs to fully return to the lower-quality, higher-risk segments of the mortgage market. Fannie and Freddie currently finance roughly three-quarters of all new mortgages.
Empowered the Treasury Department to pressure the GSEs to hold more subprime/non-performing mortgages, instead of clearing the risk off their balance sheets. According to Edward Pinto, Fannie's chief credit officer during the Reagan Administration, "They've (the Obama Adminstration) cleared the decks to use Fannie and Freddie as a vessel for whatever they want."
Regarding Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac management, Kenneth Feinberg, an Obama Administration official, made statements supporting multi-million-dollar incentive-based compensation packages for senior executives, citing the unique stresses of the jobs. Sadly, these are the exact same type of compensation packages that were identified by regulators as prime enablers of the housing/financial crisis. (http://blogs.wsj.com/developments/2009/12/31/obamas-pay-czar-defends-fannie-freddie-compensation-deals)
Despite President Obama's Executive Orders giving Fannie and Freddie access to unlimited funding, and the September 13, 2012 Federal Reserve announcement to buy $40 billion in mortgages a month (already were buying $25 billion), U.S. foreclosures will probably surpass a record 4 million in 2012 and continue to trend upward. As many Americans are instinctively aware, an Obama reelection and 4 more years of Obama Administration intervention will only further threaten our capitalist system. If you still have any doubts, ask any small, medium or large business person.

Today I am checking out an interesting case for the iPhone 4 called the Callet. This case is also available for other smartphones and comes in several colors. It is designed to be your wallet and your smartphone protection in one device. Read on for all of the details on the Callet.
The Callet is a soft silicone style case available for the iPhone and various other smartphones. I am checking out the iPhone 4 version of the Callet today. The wallet can be had in pink, blue, black, or white colors for about $20.
The Callet is a very interesting little case. It's sort of like a case I checked out in the past that would only hold a couple cards. The cool thing about the Callet is that the case is more flexible and you can shoehorn in more cards than you think. The case is made out of a soft material that will help pad the iPhone 4 in the case of a drop.
The material the case is made from has a soft touch feel to it and it is stretchy enough to easily go onto the iPhone 4, but snug enough that it doesn't feel like it will come off. The case leaves the controls and parts uncovered along with the camera. I was able to dock the iPhone 4 on my alarm clock dock and it worked just fine.
This case will work on both the ATT and Verizon versions of the phone. There is also a version for the iPhone 3G/3GS and various Blackberry models. I was able to get several credit cards and my driver's license into the Callet without any issues. The only downside to the soft touch material is that it is a bit grippy on the inside of my pocket making the phone a little difficult to remove from my pocket when driving or sitting down.
If you like to travel light and go with only your iPhone and no wallet, the Callet is perfect for you.

AV referendum bill clears first Commons hurdle
Plans to change the way MPs are elected have cleared the first Commons hurdle.
A bill introducing a referendum on changing the voting system, changes to constituency boundaries and fewer MPs, was backed by 328 votes to 269.
Labour says the changes would affect Labour-supporting areas and said the bill was "political skulduggery".
Tory opponents of the referendum said it could cost £100m but deputy PM Nick Clegg said it would restore "people's faith in the way they elect their MPs".
Despite criticism, the bill passed with a majority of 59 and a Labour bid to kill it off was defeated by 347 votes to 254.
'Legitimacy'But there are still parliamentary hurdles ahead in the Commons and the House of Lords and some Tory MPs suggested they may rebel if changes were not made at later stages of the bill's passage through Parliament.
The bill must be approved within months if the referendum is to go ahead on the planned date of 5 May 2011.
It would ask voters if they want to switch from the first-past-the-post system for parliamentary elections to the alternative voting (AV) system - where voters rank constituency candidates in order of preference.
The referendum was a key part of the coalition deal signed by the Conservatives and Lib Dems in May. Most Conservative MPs, including Prime Minister David Cameron, are opposed to the change, but the party conceded the referendum as part of the power-sharing agreement.
Deputy PM and Lib Dem leader Mr Clegg opened the debate on the Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill saying the bill was "about the legitimacy of this House".
'Raging disinterest'MPs had to deliver on a promise for a "new politics" which made the system "fairer" and put people "back in charge".
He said while there were differences between the Tories and Lib Dems about the AV referendum, the coalition partners "emphatically agree" that "the final decision should be taken not by us but by the British people".
But several Tory MPs stood up to challenge him on the referendum. Conservative MP Gary Streeter suggested there was "raging disinterest" among voters on the topic. He said he feared it would mean an "outright Conservative government" would never be voted in again.
Conservative MP Eleanor Laing said she had to support the Bill as a "matter of honour" to fulfil the coalition agreement but added "what a high price we have to pay" for a stable coalition government.
Labour supports a referendum on changing the voting system but says it should not be tied to separate plans to "equalise" constituency sizes and reduce the number of MPs from 650 to 600. Many Tories support boundary changes but oppose changing the voting system.
What is alternative vote?
- Instead of marking the ballot paper with an X for one candidate, the voter can rank all the candidates in order of preference
- If a candidate receives a majority of first-preference votes, they are elected
- If no candidate gains a majority of first preferences, then the second-preference votes of the candidate who finished last on the first count are redistributed
- This process is repeated until someone gets over 50%
- Representatives are still elected for single-member constituencies
The coalition says it is unfair that some MPs need almost twice as many votes to get elected as others because their constituencies have many more registered voters, but Labour says the proposals will disproportionately hurt Labour-supporting areas.
Labour MP Kevin Brennan asked whether plans for constituency changes were included in the same bill as the price of Conservative support for the referendum. Mr Clegg replied that, as they were "two issues that relate to how we are elected to this House", it had been "natural to bring them together".
Mr Clegg defended plans to reduce the number of MPs and to redraw constituency boundaries so they each represented about 76,000 people each, saying it was "patently obvious that individuals' votes should carry the same weight".
And he said the number of MPs had crept up so the UK now had the "largest directly elected chamber in the European Union".
But shadow deputy PM Jack Straw said while the number of MPs had increased by 4% in 60 years, the electorate had increased by 25% and MPs' workloads had "grown exponentially".
Where the largest parties stand on alternative vote
- Conservatives - Most MPs are opposed. David Cameron has said he will campaign against
- Lib Dems - Most MPs in favour although many regard it as a poor substitute for proportional system. Nick Clegg will campaign for
- Labour - Some MPs for change, some against. New leader yet to be elected so unclear what they will do
He said the proposals were nothing to do with the "high ideals" that Mr Clegg had claimed and were instead "the worst kind of political skulduggery for narrow party advantage".
But he said if the bill was split so the referendum was dealt with separately, Labour would support it.
More than 45 MPs - most of them Conservative - have signed a motion calling for the referendum to be moved to another day, arguing that holding it concurrently with elections to the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and Northern Ireland Assembly, as well as local council elections in some parts of England, could distort the result.
By holding it then, they say it could lead to different levels of turnout across the UK - favouring one side over the other - as well as "clouding" the arguments involved.
Angus MacNeil of the Scottish National Party also criticised the decision, telling Mr Clegg to "have some respect for elections that will be occurring in Scotland, in Wales and in Northern Ireland".
But Mr Clegg suggested that holding the referendum on the same date could save £30m and said it was "a little disrespectful" to assume voters could not manage to answer multiple questions on the same day.

This is a discussion thread for the "Retina Display MacBook Pro Now Takes 2 - 3 Weeks to Ship" story posted on the front page.
I'll be making daily calls to both apple stores in my vicinity to check if they have any Retina MacBook Pros in stock. If they don't get them within a week, I'll just order online.
I really hope they get them in store soon! I have been calling all day today to the local stores to try to find out when they will be in stock
The Apple store here got TWO in around 10:15 (they opened at 10). They don't even have a display model of either retina version they are that constrained. The apple store guys asked if i'd take 15 minutes to open it in store and play with it so they could see it. The manager even asked the employee to radio him to come see it since he was in the back doing something. Also got the back to school $100 app store gift card too.

Review: 'The Watch' Is a Funny and Foul Blend of 'Ghostbusters' and 'Attack the Block' Held Together By a Sticky Substance of Unknown Origin
Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on July 26, 2012 | Comments (1)It can be difficult making friends once you're past a certain age because the older people get the more set in their ways they become. Youth offers any number of bonding experiences that bring people together from grade school up through college, but once you enter the real world those opportunities start to dwindle. Husbands and wives, children, jobs, existing friends…these things tend to limit the time you have for meeting new people, becoming familiar with them and building new relationships. Past the age of thirty a catalyst of some kind is required to draw people together on short notice. Something big is good. Something of planetary importance is even better. Evan (Ben Stiller) is constantly on the lookout for friends and has formed more clubs than Tracy Flick ever dared to dream. He keeps busy with running club and Spanish for Senior Citizens, but when one of his Costco employees is viciously murdered Evan decides to form a Neighborhood Watch. Franklin (Jonah Hill) failed every test the police department threw at him, so the opportunity to join a "vigilante squad" appeals to him greatly. Bob (Vince Vaughn) is a recent transplant to town with his wife and teen daughter, and he jumps at the chance to hang out with the guys. And Jamarcus (Richard Ayoade) is simply a responsible newcomer to our American shores. Together they form a local neighborhood watch. Together they will decide Earth's fate as they discover and attempt to stop an alien invasion. Together, if […]
