Unraveling the Nest We live in a natural world and Debra Rubino is an artist whose exploration of elemental forms has created an exquisite series of new works revealing the ultimate strength inherent to the essence of life on the planet. |
The works of Unraveling the Nest are mono-prints created with the assistance of an in the Baltimore studio of master printmaker Brian Garner. To understand the technique of their creation is of lesser importance than knowing that Rubino has spent much of her artistic career developing imagery around fundamental ideas and simple forms. Her earlier photographic and print work utilized things as simple as clouds, shadows, water, stones and nests. She admits that this current work was made with much experimentation, collaboration and play using materials like Spanish moss, grasses and other organic materials, eliminating any photographic processes. The artist worked and played until she achieved what she wanted - the finest line, a rich and lush ground and the meticulous result is a rhythmic beauty and simplicity. She calls one group Accidents of Grace; grace perhaps, but there have been no accidents. The artist worked to achieve a lyrical charm of movement evoking traditional techniques such as silverpoint etching, the efficiency of line of a Dürer botanical and the direct clarity of a sure hand and a clear vision. Unraveling the Nest reminds us of the continual cycles and movements of the hours and the seasons. Sometime the quiet and subtle speak the loudest.

Oct 9 2013 by Nicola Oakley, Birkenhead News
AT least 4,000 responses have been received by Wirral Council in the first two weeks of its What Really Matters budget consultations.
The consultations have been taking place across Wirral, allowing members of the public to fill out a questionnaire over the budget options for 2014-15.
The service began on Monday, September 16 to help the council tackle the funding gap of £27.5m.
Chief executive of Wirral Council Graham Burgess explained: "The initial response to the latest round of consultations has been very impressive. People are completing the questionnaire at a much faster rate than we have seen."
The What Really Matters consultations were set up last year and contributed to savings of almost £50m through areas of administration, marketing, car mileage and phone bills.
Despite saving £48m last year, further announcements by the Government have meant that the council needs to find more additional savings.
Councillor Christina Muspratt, of Bebington, said: "I think the response is excellent so far, a credit to Wirral residents and Wirral Borough Council staff. It will be very interesting to see the findings from the returns.
"Whilst nothing but central government giving us more money will help us tackle the funding gap, we do need to know what the people of Wirral see as the areas they would wish us to try and protect, as we have huge amounts of money to find from an already very cut budget."
Lasting 12 weeks, the council hope the roadshow will help them to understand where the best areas are to consider setting the budget for the coming year in December.

NBA Trade Rumors: 10 Teams That May Give First-Round Pick For Anthony Randolph
By (Correspondent) on February 2, 2011
2,526 reads
With the trade deadline drawing near, the rumor pots are being stirred, with many talks of big names switching uniforms and young prospects being dealt, giving new life to their almost fading potential.
For the New York Knicks, Donnie Walsh has set a nice foundation for Mike D'Antoni and the Knicks staff to build around. The team is young, lively and believes they can win.
But there are still some missing pieces to the puzzle needed and the Knicks have some chips they can play right now to set themselves up to get the players they need to become elite. One of those chips is Anthony Randolph.
The 21-year-old, West Germany native has seen little action in the Big Apple, but is still viewed as a guy who can turn into a really good player with some good coaching and hard work, so he still has value. The Knicks traded for him in hopes that he would flourish in the run and gun style he was successful at the end of last year with Golden State, but he just hasn't meshed with the team playing style, meaning little playing time.
The Knicks have discussed trades for players or a first-round draft pick, but so far none of the talks have really heated up to the point where a deal was almost in place. Here are 10 possible landing spots for Randolph and as a fan of the orange and blue myself, I think its better suited saying "10 teams that will pay to take our trash".
Note: The first five teams are just franchises I believe would benefit from adding Mr. Randolph. The next five are teams that have actually voice interest in acquiring him, thus being more likely suitors.
10. Orlando Magic
Elsa/Getty Images
Call me crazy, but I think the Orlando Magic have one more trade in them.
This is another team that will have a late-round draft pick, making them more willing to give it up to acquire someone like Randolph. Brandon Bass, their starting PF sprained his ankle on Monday and the front office does not have a timetable on his return yet. Ankle injuries are tricky in basketball, especially for big men, and they could linger during the season.
Randolph can give them some depth off the bench and help fill the void left by Bass if he is out for an extended period of time.
9. Atlanta Hawks
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images
Atlanta may have some outside interest in landing Randolph. They are going to have a non-lottery pick, so their first-rounder may not be as good as other teams looking at him, but they still could have a chance.
They only have one true power forward on their roster and Randolph plays a lot like a less-refined Josh Smith (if you could even say Smith's game is "refined"), so he could fit the system well. It is a long-shot, but maybe something could be worked out.
8. San Antonio Spurs
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
The Spurs are the best team in the NBA, hands down. They are the most fundamentally sound team in the league, but I can't see them winning a championship on heavy doses of an aging Tim Duncan and Matt Bonner.
Acquiring Randolph would give this team depth to a position it lacks in. When you are playing under Gregg Popovich, it is hard not to succeed when you have as much promise as A.R. does.
7. New Orleans Hornets
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
Chris Paul and David West are doing their thing in New Orleans right now.
But that doesn't mean they couldn't use any added help. Randolph adds length to a somewhat smaller team, and his shot blocking ability would make the Hornets' second ranked defense even more deadly.
West is having a great year, so they wouldn't need many minutes out of Randolph, but he fits the playing style well and I think he could flourish with Chris Paul manning the point. New Orleans lacks depth at forward, so this move would suit them well.
6. Cleveland Cavaliers
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images
This move is also very unlikely because of how high of a draft pick Cleveland may have, but they just need help any way they can get it.
I can see them making player offers for Randolph, but probably not a draft pick, and I don't know if the Knicks would go for any of those offers. This is just speculation again, but I just think Randolph would be successful as a Cavalier and playing for a struggling team would give him an opportunity to get on the court and hone his skills.
5. Memphis Grizzlies
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
When talks of a three-way trade involving Memphis, New York and Denver caught some momentum, talks of the Grizz snagging Randolph in that trade were possible.
They showed some interest and although they do have Zach Randolph and a young Darrell Arthur at the power forward spot, Memphis is struggling to make an impact in the west and getting a 21 year old prospect with loads of potential isn't out of the question for most teams.
4. Denver Nuggets
Doug Pensinger/Getty Images
Similar to Memphis, the Nuggets were looking to land Randolph in a trade involving their star, Carmelo Anthony. With no sign of him going to New Jersey (who would want to go there right now anyway?), New York is pretty much the only destination Anthony could end up in this season via trade.
Kenyon Martin is aging and the depth at PF is a concern for Denver. Randolph is a guy they can develop into a starter and possibly begin to build around him, Aaron Afflalo and Ty Lawson.
3. Portland Trail Blazers
Christian Petersen/Getty Images
It's no secret that LaMarcus Aldridge (pictured above) is the real deal, but if Portland wants to get over that hump of mediocrity in the west, they need to start adding some depth to their big men. Portland has voiced some interest in the Knickerbocker big man and it could be a good match if things work out.
Marcus Camby is on his way out, and very well could end up in a trade for Randolph if the talks heat up. Portland is a young team looking for an identity and balance. Developing A.R. could really benefit them and help fill the void left by Greg Oden's countless amount of injuries.
2. Indiana Pacers
Ezra Shaw/Getty Images
Indiana is a team in shambles. They have lost 13 of their last 18 and are not getting much out of their young combo of power forwards—Josh McRoberts and Tyler Hansborough. Both of those guys were great in college, but I don't know if they cut it in the NBA.
Randolph provides length and athleticism. He also has great ball skills for a big man which could mesh well with the Pacers offense.
Honestly, the Pacers can use any help they can get and grabbing Randolph would be a good start to give this team a wake up call and maybe make a run for the seventh or eighth spot in the east. They have given a lot of indications that they would be willing to make a trade for Randolph, but nothing has come of those rumors yet.
1. Minnesota Timberwolves
Elsa/Getty Images
The T-Wolves have been the most likely of destinations for Mr. Randolph. President of Basketball Operations Daniel Kahn has said throughout that he would like to add a big man to help out Kevin Love and Darko Milicic. Wesley Johnson and Michael Beasley are too small to play the four and Randolph fits the make up of this young Timberwolves squad.
The Knicks have talked with Minnesota, but nothing has been put in place. There is still 17 days until the trade deadline, so these teams have plenty of time to work it out. If I had to put my money on Randolph going anywhere, it would be Minnesota.

Just two short weeks before the horrific 8.9 earthquake rocked Japan, Sebastien Toutant (aka Seb Toots) traveled across the globe to compete in the Toyota Big Air, one of the world's most prestigious big air events, in Sapporo, Japan.
Over 15,000 fans crowded the stadium to watch Seb and fellow Red Bull rider Mark McMorris go for broke. Seb busted out a new trick that he'd been working on - a double backside rodeo 1080.
Seb stomped the trick and placed second to earn a cool 1.3 million yen! Although all eyes have been affixed on the Japanese region following the tsunami, I had a chance to catch up with Seb after his safe return to find out what this trick was all about - thankfully his trick reminded me of some great times in Japan in light of all the horror.
The double backside rodeo 1080. Is this a brand new trick for you Seb?
Yes, I learned it at the Air & Style event in Munich, Germany.
How long did it take before you stomped the trick in competition?
I was doing double BS rodeo 900s and I was trying for 1080 melon grabs but it was always too hard to land. At the Air & Style in Munich, I tried it like Travis Rice (melon grab to handy grab) and I landed it first try.
You landed it a couple times at the Toyota Big Air and the fans went crazy. Is this a regular contest trick for you now?
It's still a new trick for me so it's not as consistent as my other double cork tricks but I'm always stoked to do it in contest. It is a really impressive trick for the fans to see.
At what other contests have you landed this trick?
Toyota Big Air was my first contest that I tried it. I would like to do more in contests next year.
What is the next progression of this trick for you?
I would like to do the same trick switch, and also spinning to 1260.
Looking back, what was the highlight of your season?
Winning the slopestyle gold at X Games.
[Ed. Note: Seb hit the RIDE Shakedown last weekend (April 1-2) in Quebec and left with the victory, handily spinning a Cab double cork 1260 to seal the deal. Looks like we're in store for an even more amazing season out of Sebastien in '11/'12...]

Supreme Court refuses William Jefferson's appeal,13-year prison sentence upheldby Bruce Alpert - Times-Picayune (excerpt)
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court Monday refused to take former Rep. William Jefferson's appeal of his 2009 corruption appeal, likely spelling the end of the line for his efforts to overturn his record 13-year prison sentence. As usual in such matters, the High Court didn't give a reason. It would have taken affirmative votes by four of the nine justices to schedule oral arguments on the motion by Jefferson's lawyers to throw out his conviction and schedule a new trial. The court said that Justice Elena Kagan, who served as the Justice Department's solicitor generator for part of the lengthy Jefferson prosecution, did not participate in the deliberations.

Sauvignon Blanc
Botrytis Sauvignon Blanc
The 2002 vintage began early with budbreak occurring in mid March. By mid May the vineyard was under cloudy skies, and light rain reduced the fruit set. From June until August the weather was relatively cool, with daytime high temperatures in mid 70s to low 80s. This mild weather caused slow ripening of the fruit, while cold nights retained grape acids. The 2002 Sauvignon Blanc is greenish straw in color and is intense in tropical fruit aromas of passion fruit, grapefruit and guava, with hints of mineral and lemon-lime. On the palate this wine is bursting with tropical citrus flavors. This classic Sauvignon Blanc finishes with crisp and lingering citrus peel notes.

Hyundai to add 877 jobs at Alabama plant
A woman is silhouetted near the Hyundai Motor's logo at the company's showroom in Seoul, South Korea, April 26, 2012. THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP, Lee Jin-man
DETROIT - Hyundai Motor Co. plans to hire 877 more workers to add a third shift at its Montgomery, Alabama, assembly plant so it can crank out more Sonata midsize cars and Elantra compacts.
The Korean automaker said Monday the hiring will take place during the summer, with the plant transitioning to the third shift in September. The move will give Hyundai the ability to make 20,000 more vehicles at the plant in 2012.
The added shift will help get more cars to Hyundai dealers across America, who have been complaining for months that they could sell more cars if they could get them. The Sonata and Elantra are Hyundai's top-selling vehicles in the U.S.
Through March, Hyundai sold more than 55,000 Sonatas, with sales up more than 6 per cent over last year. The company sold more than 44,000 Elantras during the same period, an increase of almost 8 per cent.
The added shift will bring total employment at the plant to more than 3,000 people, Hyundai said.
The company also expects the additional production to create more jobs at companies that make parts for the two cars.
Hyundai has been struggling for months to produce enough cars to satisfy demand, trying to squeeze as much production as possible out of the Montgomery factory.
In an interview with The Associated Press in early April, John Krafcik, Hyundai's CEO of American operations, said the company was trying to make more cars without affecting the quality.
"We're doing everything we can, honestly," he said. "We're finding ways to get more production capacity for the U.S. market."
Krafcik said the U.S. market is recovering from the recession faster than other regions, so he's been able to make a strong case to the corporate office in Seoul to boost production for North America.
Hyundai does not want to build a new factory in the U.S. because of the expense, and fears that it could affect the quality of its vehicles, he said.
Overall, Hyundai's sales are up almost 15 per cent through March.

One of the great things about having all this content just laying around the interwebs is that the opportunity to go back and relive the past is open to just about anyone without a two-bit history degree or a time machine.
Case in point, the series of blog posts, Rembert Explains the '80s over on Grantland (where else?). Here, Rembert Brown, who came of age during the nineties and the oughts, offers his take on random aspects of 1980s pop culture cheese. All sorts of oddities whose existence, in retrospect, defies explanation. TV show Bosom Buddies; band, the Outfield; Don Johnson's music career etc. Various samplings of what passed for entertainment back in the day analyzed and explained with ample YouTube clips and attempts at analyses. I find Rembert's dry, ironic takes to be very entertaining.
To date, one of the best I've seen was his take on the 1985 American Music Awards. Dissecting about eight minutes of highlights from the show, Rembert takes us back in time and let's us (re)live this second rate awards show- everything from the latent racial biases (best "black" single/album) to what passed for an entourage back in the day.
The accessibility of some of random moments in history and the ability for anyone to go back and reinterpret them in a contemporary context is a powerful aspect of how digital is changing how we view ourselves. No longer do we simply glorify the best bits or vilify the worst bits of pop culture. Instead, past music, fashion, celebrities etc are constantly reinterpreted and reborn as new memes. No detail is safe from the time machine that is the internet.
Skinny jeans wearers, take heed.

William A. Wisdom
The "use-mention distinction" is familiar to virtually
everyone trained in professional philosophy, but to few others. It's a
technical notion that is important particularly to philosophers of
language and logic; it's the distinction between using
an expression or bit of language (e.g., a word or phrase or sentence)
and mentioning or talking about that expression.
This pair of concepts proves to be rather difficult for some college
students to grasp--in part, I suppose, because it requires
distinguishing between, say, a name and the name of that name.
Thinking of linguistic expressions as instruments that we use to
accomplish various purposes, the distinction is very much like the more
readily obvious distinction between using a hammer and talking about a
hammer--two clearly different activities. A simple example will
dramatize the distinction, though there is no reason, for the present
purpose, to further discuss the functions of the distinction in
philosophy. Think of the difference between saying (1) " 'Tom' has
three letters" and (2) "Tom has three letters". The first is a comment
about how the word 'Tom' is spelled, while the second is a comment
about the epistles in Tom's hand. In the first I'm mentioning--talking
about--Tom's name 'Tom' (which is why I enclose it within its own
quotation marks), whereas in the second I'm using his name to say
something not about Tom's name but about Tom himself. Hold that
distinction in mind.
We all have stories about how very precocious our young children are or
were. This one is about my son. I suppose that he was about four at the
time. I was trying to complete an important writing project and at the
same time keep an eye on him. Robert was running around playfully, but
incidentally distracting me. I finally said, "Robert, you're going to
have to find something quiet to do. Why don't you play with your
building blocks in the other room?" Well, he seemed to think that
something like that was a good idea, so he dumped the whole bagful of
them on the hardwood floor just outside my open door. I figured that
that was all right. It would give him something to do, and I could keep
an eye on him.
He set in to building a tower as high as he could. When it got to a
good height, he'd accidentally or deliberately knock it over and mumble
"Shit!" This happened several times, the expletive getting louder each
time. I was finally exasperated, and said to him: "Robert, I don't want
to hear you use that word again!"
I must interrupt this narrative to explain that I didn't mind the word.
I just wanted him to go somewhere out of earshot if he was going to
utter it. "You may use the word if you want, but I don't want to HEAR
you use it." But it turned out that that wasn't how he understood my
He played quietly with his blocks for another few minutes; and then of
course they fell in a clatter and he cried out: "Shit!!" I whirled in
my chair and raised a warning finger. But before I could say anything
he quickly added in panic: "...is a dumb word." I laughed so hard that
I couldn't chastise him for the offense. Clearly he had construed my
warning this way: "I don't want to hear you USE that word again! But of
course it's all right for you to MENTION it."

text: Kongo, former kingdom in west-central Africa, located south of the Congo River (present-day Angola and Democratic Republic of the Congo). According to traditional accounts, the kingdom was founded by Lukeni lua Nimi about 1390. Originally, it was probably a loose federation of small polities, but, as the kingdom expanded, conquered territories were integrated as a royal patrimony. Soyo and Mbata were the two most powerful provinces of the original federation; other provinces included Nsundi, Mpangu, Mbamba, and Mpemba. The capital of the kingdom was Mbanza Kongo. The capital and its surrounding area were densely settled—more so than other towns in and near the kingdom. This allowed the manikongo (king of Kongo) to keep close at hand the manpower and supplies necessary to wield impressive power and centralize the state. When Portuguese arrived in Kongo in 1483, Nzinga a Nkuwu was the manikongo. In 1491 both he and his son, Mvemba a Nzinga, were baptized and assumed Christian names—João I Nzinga a Nkuwu and Afonso I Mvemba a Nzinga, respectively. Afonso, who became manikongo c.1509, extended Kongo's borders, centralized administration, and forged strong ties between Kongo and Portugal. He eventually faced problems with the Portuguese community that ... (200 of 778 words)

Condor One: Book One
The Democratic Party's 2012 nominee for President, David J. Windsor, and America are equally shocked when he is outted by his opponent just six weeks before the Fall election. Following his heart, David chooses honesty over media spin and overcomes the obstacle to win the election. Despite that success, dark forces around the world begin to plot against him, and President Windsor's security is a must. Inside and outside the White House, Secret Service Agent Shane Thompson becomes the President's shadow, always present and silent, ever vigilant. As the two men grow closer, Shane does far more than just his duty – he becomes as vital to David's happiness as he is to the President's health. Together they realize they must find a way to balance the President and the Agent against David and Shane before stress and responsibility tear them apart.
Chapter One - High Drama
It was six weeks until the general election for the President of the United States and the stakes could not be higher. The state of the world was tense with a fair certainty that nuclear weapons had been introduced into Syria by Russia, the newly emerged and reinvigorated American adversary. Israel was reacting as one might expect: with the panic of a state facing the threat of extinction. All over Tel Aviv little cars with military escorts darted like bees between flowers as they shuttled the General Flag officers from meeting to meeting. Iran and its close ally Iraq were rattling their sabers so loudly that no one in Washington was getting any sleep at night. Pizza delivery vehicles were seen making regular visits to the Pentagon, a sure sign that the midnight oil of the Military Industrial Complex was burning brightly. The entire Middle East was once again the tinderbox that threatened to ignite the whole world. In the United States, another kind of war was raging: the presidential election campaign of 2012. Democrat David J. Windsor, a multi-millionaire corporate executive, was running against Speaker of the House Daniel Gorski, the Republican nominee. Both candidates followed the norms of their parties, firing millions of dollars of attack ads at each other and dividing the nation in the process. Everyone was worried about who would answer that White House phone at three A.M.
Windsor came from a liberal background and was related to the royal family of England, where King William had just ascended to the throne after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Prince Charles had declined the crown, clearing the way for William V to become King of England. Gorski was ever the conservative hawk who – while mouthing the rhetoric of smaller government, tighter budgets, and isolationism – practiced the exact opposites in a continued attempt to make America ruler of the world … all at the expense of social programs and a decaying infrastructure that was well beyond becoming a potential danger to the American public. His social outlook was typical Republican fare: anti-gay, anti-women, and anti-minority, with a very strong dash of evangelicalism.
The Vice-Presidential candidates were wedded to the politics, philosophies, and priorities of their running-mates – or at least they professed to be. Windsor had chosen an older governor from the Deep South to help him carry that part of the country. Governor Barry Miller of Florida was thirty-five years Windsor's senior, but he wanted the job and had good skills. He added weight to the ticket in both age and experience.
The differences between the two candidates at the top of the tickets could not have been sharper, and this made most pundits agree that the nation's choice was clear. One was charting a course forward for the country; the other was promising the status quo legacy of the outgoing President, whose family had controlled the White House for twelve long, troubled years. The final debate of the campaign was due to begin shortly and had the full attention of the American public. The setting was the University of Central Florida, near Orlando, Florida. Once again, it all came down to Florida.
"David, we need to get going to the debate if we are going to be on time; it's about a fourteen-minute ride out to the University," advised sixty-four year old Mary, my longtime Secretary.
"Yeah, okay. Let's get going. Two minutes."
As the motorcade whisked along from downtown Orlando to the debate site, my mind wandered over the last six months of what was more than a slightly caustic campaign. The far right was determined to keep the White House in their column and the Democratic Party was determined to recapture the people's house after a very long twelve years of near dictatorial rule. If I were to become President, I would reverse many of the policies that had strangled the American people over the last decade – no more conservative buffoons on the Supreme Court while I was President.
"David, here are your note cards with every position that the campaign has taken since it began. We don't know what Gorski is going to throw at you tonight, but they feel their edge on you slipping away, so they may be desperate enough to try and create a controversy that they can ride until Election Day," Mary said.
"Thanks, Mary. I'm going to try and just be me – give the people one last chance to see me for who I really am. I'm asking for their trust, as well as their vote. I want to be as forthright as I can be – contrast that with Gorski's obvious spin. People are tired of that kind of 'politics-as-usual.' This is it: the final debate, and the final chance for America to see both of us together. I really hope that the people will get a good look at the polar opposites that are vying for the White House."
As the motorcade came to a halt outside the side entrance to the University auditorium, car doors flung open and Secret Service agents emerged from the various SUV's that were a part of modern day security, taking up their 'ground' positions ready for the candidate to exit the limousine. I sat in the back waiting for the signal from the agent at the door, Shane Thompson, that it was okay to exit the vehicle. I watched the final radio check, the agent finally opening my door so I could get out. A large crowd had gathered outside the auditorium, unable to get into the event since all available seats were already taken. I waved to the crowd as the security agents whisked me into the side entrance and escorted to me to a holding room where we would wait until the time drew near for the debate to begin. This way, my exposure to unforeseen circumstances was kept to a minimum. I had been advised that the crowd was not only large, but also friendly and about evenly divided between Gorski and me. I took the last few moments to go over my note cards for the final time as makeup people worked on my face and hair.
"Mr. Windsor, it's 7:55, we should move to the launch position for the stage, sir," advised Agent Alvarez, the agent in charge of my security detail.
"Okay, let's get the show going."
We quickly moved from the holding room to the left side of the stage and waited the final moments behind the curtains. The Secret Service for both candidates scanned the crowd one final time before both of us were exposed on stage. At exactly 8:00 P.M., I heard Anderson Cooper from CNN begin the announcement to the television audience that the debate was about to begin. Speaker Gorski was introduced first, and he came out from the opposite side of the stage to applause and took his seat. Next, I heard my name, and I moved out on stage and took my seat, smiling and waving to the crowd as the applause this time was for me. The red lights of the television cameras told me that they were on and showing us to the world. The final debate was scheduled to last ninety minutes, using the standard format from all our previous debates.
Our biggest policy disagreement was on foreign relations and how to deal with the situation in Syria. Gorski wanted a relationship that was confrontational while I wanted to seek diplomatic solutions to our problems if at all possible. I was not afraid to use our military might, but it was going to be my last choice if necessary. There really were no surprises or sucker punches and I was feeling that the debate was not truly a win for either Gorski or me until the final fifteen minutes.
"Speaker Gorski, we are in our final quarter hour of the debate and you may address any issue that remains," invited Cooper.
"Thank you, Anderson. There is one final issue that I think the American people need to be aware of as, it may affect their decision as to whom to vote for as their President. Certain information has come to light about the personal life of Mr. Windsor and I would like a response to this information from him. Mr. Windsor, are you or are you not a homosexual?"
The auditorium went deadly quiet as people tried to understand the question that was just asked of the Democratic candidate for President. Had they heard correctly? Had the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives just asked his opponent if he was gay? After a moment of total silence, multiple flashes occurred as the print media began to take photograph after photograph of the situation unfolding before the eyes of the world.
"Mr. Gorski, may I ask what relevance my sexuality has to do with the job of President of the United States? What is your purpose in asking such a question?"
"Mr. Windsor, the American people have the right to know if their President sleeps with men and if he violates the tenets of the Bible that we all hold so dear as we were founded as a Christian nation. As for my purpose in asking, it is to expose the truth about who you really are as a man."
"Gentlemen, I don't think that is a proper question to be asked during this debate and I would suggest to you, Mr. Windsor, that you not answer this question," said Anderson.
Part of the audience began to clap in agreement, while others began to murmur.
"Thank you, Anderson, but I fully intend to answer the question. Let us be clear about the intent of the Speaker in asking this question. He hopes to make me run and hide, to be embarrassed, to cripple me in the closing days of the election since he cannot win on the issues facing this great nation. He expects me to lie, to try and evade the question and to attack him for asking it. He is wrong on all counts. Ladies and Gentlemen, in fact, I am a gay American. I have been gay all my life, and will always be gay. This fact has absolutely nothing to do with my abilities to be the best President you possibly could have, leading the American people out of the darkness that has been characterized by just such a question. It is the politics of fear, hatred and bigotry, and I soundly reject it. My being gay will have no effect whatsoever on how I conduct the affairs of state. I will represent the American people and their interests with pride, competence, and honesty, and I promise to never lie to the people of this great country. Finally, Mr. Gorski is also wrong as usual about this nation being founded as a Christian nation. It was not. The founding fathers were in fact Deists, and not Christians. In fact, if you read the words of Thomas Jefferson, you will find that he had a particular distaste for Christianity. As for the ministers and preachers that Mr. Gorski so favors, Jefferson had this to say: 'In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own.' – Thomas Jefferson to Horatio G. Spafford, in 1814."
The applause was deafening. People rose to their feet and continued to clap and began to chant my name over and over again. Gorski looked as though he had eaten a rotten egg and was in shock at the opposite response his question brought about rather than the one anticipated. Anderson tried to bring the crowd under control but it took him over two minutes to regain control of the auditorium.
"Mr. Windsor, how do you think the evangelical vote will view this stunning revelation?"
"First of all, Anderson, I never had the evangelical vote to begin with, so in fact I lose nothing by being honest with the people. Second, those who consider themselves Christians will remember that the greatest commandment given to us by Jesus was to love one another and to love God. In fact, Jesus never said anything about being gay. So, if my being honest on this topic gives them pause, then I suggest that they examine the true pillars of their faith and go from there. I will not pander to the religious right in order to get elected. I leave that in the capable hands of the Speaker of the House."
"Now just a damn minute here…."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Speaker, but we are out of time, and I thank you for being here with us this evening on what has turned out to be an historic debate. Thank you and good night."
Once again, the crowd broke out in applause and began to chant my name. This did not please Gorski, who turned red and instead of offering the traditional handshake at the end of the debate, he simply walked off the stage. I moved forward and shook Anderson's hand and thanked him for moderating the debate.
"Mr. Windsor, it's going to be an interesting few weeks until the election, and I wish you good luck, sir."
"Thank you, Anderson, and I hope to see you again."
Waving to the crowd, I walked off the stage towards my group of people. The Secret Service detail actually came out on stage to meet me part way and escorted me off stage. Before I could really discuss anything about what had just happened, the Secret Service moved me quickly out of the auditorium and into the motorcade, which had already started their engines and were prepared to quickly move out once we were aboard. The sirens wailed and we took off at a fairly fast pace, leaving the University of Central Florida faster than we had arrived. The Secret Service was anxious and it showed.
"Mr. Windsor, can we have a few moments to speak when we get to the hotel?" asked Alvarez.
"Of course we can, just give me a couple of minutes to get relaxed and grab a diet 7-up."
Mary turned her head to me and said, "Well, that cat's out of the bag now, isn't it? I wonder how long it took them to come up with that information to ambush you with tonight."
"Oh, I imagine they've had it all along and only used it tonight because they fear they're losing this election. Gorski sure was pissed at the response from the audience, wasn't he?" I asked with a laugh.
"We knew this night might come. Now we have to see how it affects your poll numbers in the morning. The talk shows will be screaming tonight over this, you wait and see."
Arriving at the Hilton resort in Orlando, the security team did the usual things, and I got out of the limo and headed into the hotel. The press was everywhere shouting questions at me about the fact that I was gay, and wanting more information. I just ignored them and kept walking, having no intention of stoking the fires any more tonight. The Secret Service was able to keep the reporters far from me, and we glided into the elevator to ride to the top floor where we arrived at their version of the Presidential suite.
We entered the suite to the sound of ringing telephones and a stack of messages that had come in since the revelation on television. I waved them all off and headed into the main bedroom so that I could take off my jacket and tie. Wiping my face with a cold wet washcloth immediately brought back some needed energy.
When I came out of the bedroom, Mary handed me my soda and I took a seat in the living room area of the suite. I motioned to Agent Alvarez to come over, and told him to sit down. While the low-level hum of business carried on, I asked Alvarez what was on his mind.
"In light of the information that you confirmed this evening, our job of protecting you might have just gotten a little bit harder. There are more than a few nut jobs and groups in this country who are going to go ballistic because you've admitted that you're gay."
"I realize that, but what would you have me do? Take a pill and become straight? It doesn't happen that way, Agent Alvarez, and if it did, I wouldn't take the pill. I'm quite comfortable being who I am."
"No, sir, I didn't mean it that way. I just meant that we're going to have to tighten your security even more when you are in public, especially the close-in security. Those agents will be at your side now all the time."
"I understand and can accept that. I like Agent Thompson; he seems like a really nice guy. Is he good at his job?"
"Yes sir, all the agents are good at their job or they wouldn't be on this detail."
"Fine, then I'd like Thompson assigned as close-in security."
"I see no problem with that sir, I'll notify him, and his new duties will begin in the morning. He'll have to keep the same schedule that you do, so if you could make sure that I always have an updated copy of your agenda, it will make it a lot easier."
"Fine, just see Mary any time you need an update. Now, let me be frank with you, Agent Alvarez. Do you believe that any of the agents, including yourself, will want to be taken off this detail now that you all know that I am gay?"
"Mr. Windsor, the fact that you are gay does not change the fact that you are the nominee of one of the two political parties of the United States and may in fact become President. This changes nothing, sir."
The meeting over, I turned my attention to the message stack that had now grown to one hundred and twenty four since my departure for the debate.
Rated 5 Delightful Divas and a Recommended Read by Kathy!
...Mr. Simpson's wonderful and descriptive writing, even about the political process, was only part of what kept me glued to the pages. Another was the attraction between David and Shane and the development of their relationship. Very hot, very sexy and very, very wonderful. The final element that kept me turning the pages was the buildup of the tension and danger; it was so very well done and was a big part of the reason that Condor One really brought to mind the thrillers written by Ludlum and Clancy. If you like books with thrill-a-minute plots, stories about political wrangling, and tales with sexy men falling in love, then may I suggest you look no further than John Simpson and Condor One. What a rush! Read the full review.

If an investor invests in lots of companies, each company individually may be a risky investment. However, many investors use strategic methods that can be applied to their investing portfolio for reducing risk levels, by spreading the investments chosen.
This theory is generally accepted in the trading circles. Do they mean that someone should invest in 7 different companies to reduce the risk levels? No. Investors have said that it is important to make sure that the constituents of the portfolio are as diverse as possible.
This is probably the case because the adverse affects that affect one investment may mean that all the other investments will feel the affect as well, if they are not as diverse as possible.
Many investors recommend people to consider the possibility of investing or picking stocks in each of a different number if sectors, as opposed to choosing stocks in only one niche or sector. Often times you will hear an investor say avoid having two stocks in businesses that are closely related.
There are a set of generally accepted rules in the world of stocks and trading for reducing risk levels. These rules are not complete but they can give you a start on understanding the different ways of reducing risks when playing the stock market.
Risk can be possible reduced by owning a mixture of stocks and other investments, owning several different stocks, owning stocks in different industries, owning stocks in large companies and small companies and having a fixed point of where you will always cut your losses.
No one investor is exactly the same. There is no system that fits all. Instead you will have to look at all the trading systems you can get your hands on and you will need to design a system for yourself. Different portfolios are tailored for people who have higher or lower tolerances to risk, different time plans and different income or financial goals.
Some people may want to have a monthly income and others may want to build up capital. The components that have just been outlined are up to the individual investor.

Write a Letter to the Editor and Help End Scott Walker's War on Women
In their radical pursuit to payoff their friends in right-wing special interest groups, Scott Walker and Rebecca Kleefisch have defunded Planned Parenthood, eliminating funding for women's health programs that provide cervical cancer screenings, breast exams, and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases.In Winnebago, Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, and Outagamie counties this means there are no longer any Well-Woman providers, and women without health insurance in central Wisconsin will be forced to forgo routine care if they lack the ability to pay.
Please take a moment to write a letter to the editor of your local paper to help educate your friends and neighbors about Scott Walker's misplaced and dangerous priorities.
At the bottom of this page are additional resources and information that may be useful to you in crafting your letter to the editor.
Getting Started with your Letter to the Editor
10 Reasons Women Should Recall Scott Walker
- Scott Walker and his extreme right-wing friends want to change our Wisconsin constitution to ban common forms of birth control and outlaw abortion across the board -- even in cases of rape and incest, or if a woman's life is in danger.
- Scott Walker cut funding for child support enforcement programs, making it harder for thousands of Wisconsin women to obtain vital child support payments from deadbeat dads.
- Scott Walker approved tax breaks for the huge corporations and the wealthy while also approving a plan to kick 29,000 children – many of them from single parent households – off of BadgerCare.
- Scott Walker defunded Planned Parenthood's and eliminated Title V, which had provided more than 19,000 women with cervical cancer screenings, breast exams, and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases.
If you are a Wisconsin woman with insufficient funds or insurance to pay for cancer and multiple sclerosis screening and live in Winnebago, Fond du Lac, Sheboygan, or Outagamie County you no longer have a Well Woman Program provider in your area because Scott Walker defunded Planned Parenthood. - Scott Walker refused to provide funding for programs that help sexual assault victims recover from the physical and emotional trauma of their attack, which forced the Department of Justice to cut grants from its Sexual Assault Victim Services program by 42.5%.
- Scott Walker supports allowing pharmacists to refuse to fill a woman's birth control prescriptions.
- Scott Walker's backward budget also allows insurance companies to discriminate against women by denying coverage for legally prescribed birth control, a divisive, partisan overreach that not only infringes on the rights of women, but insults the ability of medical professionals to determine which medications and treatments are appropriate for their patients.
- Scott Walker and Republican legislators want to repeal the Healthy Youth Act, which requires Wisconsin schools to teach comprehensive, age appropriate sex education. This program has been crucial in helping Wisconsin reduce the very serious problems of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
- Scott Walker opposes the Wisconsin law requiring hospitals provide victims of rape with comprehensive, compassionate care, including access to emergency birth control to prevent pregnancy resulting from an assault.
- Scott Walker's budget slashed nearly $1.6 billion from public education, jeopardizing the ability of working Wisconsin women and their families to advance and fulfill their dreams.

When Bleaching Hair is Necessary
By Jody Morse
Bleaching is not an easy hair coloring technique for amateurs. It's important to have a good understanding of how to bleach the hair or there is a risk of hair damage. Although you might not want to bleach your hair, there are times when bleach is necessary for those who want to color their hair. Here are three times when bleaching hair may be necessary.
Fixing a Bad Hair Color
If you've tried out a new hair color and do not like the results, you may want to color over it right away. This isn't always the best idea, however. Coloring your hair on top of the wrong shade can lead to a reddish, greenish, or pinkish tone. If you're trying to fix a bad color job, it's ideal to visit a hair stylist. An experienced colorist will know when it is necessary to bleach the hair to prevent unwanted tones.
Highlighting the Hair
Bleaching hair is the most common way to do blonde highlights in the salon. The shade of blonde that you want will determine how long your stylist leaves the bleach on. Keep in mind that highlight shades such as caramel brown, copper, and auburn do not need bleach. You can also ask your stylist to use blonde dye instead of bleach when highlighting.
Going Blonde
If you want a very light shade of blonde hair color, you may choose to bleach your hair. There are at-home bleaching kits, such as L'Oreal Paris Super Blonde Crème Lightening Kit, $9.99, at Amazon, but salon bleach is higher intensity. An experienced stylist will also be less likely to make a hair color mishap when using bleach.
Lightening Dark Hair
If your hair is naturally a dark shade of brown or nearly black and you want to go lighter, it's generally necessary to have it colored at the salon. Your stylist will need to bleach your hair before coloring it a lighter shade. Women who have colored their hair darker shades of brown and black will generally have the same problem. If your hair is naturally dark or has been colored dark, coloring it lighter at home is often a waste of time and money because you will generally not see any results.
Having your hair bleached is necessary in certain situations. If you're not sure if you need bleach before coloring your hair or if you are considering highlights, it's ideal to have your hair done at a salon. Bleaching hair is not an easy process for amateurs. It's best to leave it to a professional hair stylist or someone who is very experienced with hair color. Any time you do use hair bleach, it's important to use a good moisturizing conditioner the next time you wash your hair to help keep your locks hydrated and reduce the risk of breakage.

Shit, I didn't know any better.
Ski would tell Tommy,
Tommy would tell me:
"Get your shit together BUTT HEAD,

And possibly me."
I finally learned what to do,
Just in time, for I knew.

And send me to never-never land.

Teases me all along.

Damn sure glad it's not the other.

Anthony Quinn was the son of a bitch cos he came from Chihuahua
The editing in the House is Black is marvellous, and it doesn't wallow in sickly sentiment.
I'm off to bed, keep the votes coming. Nos da.
Fucking Amal 8 Taste of Cherry 8
Winter Light 8 The Circle 4
My Life as a Dog 6 The House is Black 7
Unless that pic of a dog is a vote….in which case I have no idea if its for the black house or the dog haha
Fucking Amal 1 v Taste of Cherry 0
Winter Light 1 v The Circle 0
My Life as a Dog 1 v The House is Black 0
Fucking Amal 0 v Taste of Cherry 1
Winter Light 0 v The Circle 1
My Life as a Dog 0 v The House is Black 1
It seems that voting with images is allowed for this match, so here are my choices:
If my dog was a vote it'd have to be a draw, but no, he's just a dog in a jumper, wondering what's going on.
(I haven't seen 'The Black House', nor the Hallström for years – can't comment.)
I realized that a streaming link has now been posted to Fucking Amal on Christine's profile, so I was able to watch if for the vote, afterall.
Fucking Amal 0 – Taste of Cherry 1
Girls and kids were great in Fucking Amal, but I feel a bit too old for this film. As I said above, this favorite Kiarostami film has all his signature touches – the car, the contrast between village/city, the undercurrents of life in modern Iran conflicting with old values and culture, the realistic dialogue and documentary feel, and a story that just gets more interesting as we progress. Should be required viewing for any potential suicides out there. Thought about this when viewing one of the poignant scenes in Fucking Amal. Still, an easy win for Taste of Cherry – a beautiful, subtle film. So, as predicted, this now gives a vote to Iran for me.
Here are the current scores including Joe Arthaus´ vote:
Fucking Amal 9 Taste of Cherry 11
Winter Light 10 The Circle 5
My Life as a Dog 7 The House is Black 9
Winter Light 1 The Circle 0
Fucking Amal 0 v Taste of Cherry 1
Fucking Amal v Taste of Cherry 1
Winter Light v The Circle 1
My Life as a Dog v The House is Black 1
Again, six fine choices, but I felt more connected to the Iranian selections than the Swedish ones so I had to give them my votes even though the pairings were all close. I can't say more at the moment since I'm trying to finish up watching the last couple of films for tomorrows match.
Fucking Amal 0 – Taste of Cherry 1
Even if I do not like the last incongruous scene
Winter Light 1 – The Circle 0
Even if Bergman is not a Pantheon filmmaker for me
My Life as a Dog 1 – The House is Black 0
Even if that's not my favourite Hallström
Fucking Amal- 1, Taste of Cherry- 0
One of the greatest films I have ever seen. Not enough good things to say about both, but Moodyson's film is perfect
Winter Light- 0, The Circle 1
Very close, but 'Winter Light' just isn't among my favorite Bergmans, and 'The Circle' is beyond fantastic
My Life as a Dog- 1, The House is Black- 0
This match can still go either way. Current scores:
Fucking Amal 10 Taste of Cherry 14
Winter Light 12 The Circle 7
My Life as a Dog 9 The House is Black 10
these pairings were harder than i first thought, a bit of back-n-forth … just a hint of doubt … but … the 3 films i chose i felt voiced important sociological concerns that needed to be raised at the time (and are still very much relevent/engaging today) …
Fucking Amal (1) v Taste of Cherry (0)
Winter Light (0) v The Circle (1)
My Life as a Dog (0) v The House is Black (1)
i still don't understand how a Bergman's work beats a decade's perfection…
Fucking Åmål 1 – Ta'm e Guilass 0
5/5 – 5/5
Nattvardsgästerna 0 – Dayereh 1
4,5/5 – 5/5
Mitt Liv Som Hund 0 – Khaneh Siah Ast 1
4 or 4,5/5 – 5/5
there isn't much to say here,other than pointing out i was delighted to actually admire a Hallstrom film for the first time!!!much like with Beresford,Hallstrom's Hollywood career was mostly justifiable by Gilbert Grape and i am being mild not criticizing it as a something close to melo.but it wasn't enough at the moment like with Breaker Morant to get my vote,so that dame poetess captures my heart in her single film,that captivity which actors/actresses turned directors don't always achieve…
i could have given it to Kiarostami once again,even so…Amal is a brilliant endorsement of queer film/romantic coming-of-age excluding mushy elements….and had there been Silence there,the Bergman-Panahi match would be more difficult to consider,and yet…the panoramic trip of all the girls' adventures was quickly became an instant favorite when i first saq it a couple of years after its release…
Well, I disagree with you on that one. In my opinion is "Winter Light" a lifetime´s perfection, Bergman´s most personal and minimalist work and as he said himself the only film he ever made that he considers flawless.When I first watched it didn´t I appreciate it that much, but I rewatched it and came to think that it´s alongside the best depictions of man´s condition on earth ever made, and although I consider "The Circle" a masterpiece didn´t I have to doubt a second which film to choose. It must also be noted that Sven Nykvist´s inventive use of natural light has never been more accomplished than in this film, it´s most likely his greatest achievement as a cinematographer.
this may also have to do with the fact i'm closer to a director's first and middle work,for instance…i have a great affection towards Phantom of Liberty by Bunuel,and yet,if i had to choose between a period of his filmography,i wouldn't hesitate even picking Nazarin against Phamtom,even Tristana coudln't beat Nazarin's a-religious sentiment,ironically,Tristana penetrates sexuality vs piety a lot more,and yet,i'd still take the more "realistic" factor..
same goes for Bergman i think :)
as an overall trilogy,it's quite stellar but individually,the 60's Bergman is Persona for my part…
The House is Black 1 My Life as a Dog 0
Easy vote for me. Sorry, I'm not fond of My Life as a Dog. I'm going to watch Farrokhzad's film again today. It's been a few months since I last saw it.
Sorry, Paul. This time can´t your vote be included since the voting period was already past. But it wouldn´t have changed the result since "The House is Black" won the final pairing.

October 2, 2007; five stars: "I truly enjoyed the book. Otto was quite busy and kept you wondering what he was going to do next!"
Perry, Atlanta, GA Amazon.com
September 29, 2007; four stars: "UNCLE OTTO is a delightful read. I was really impressed by this first novel by Winfred Cook. The story is compelling and I had trouble putting it down. Descriptive, and heartfelt, I leaned a lot about the South and migration of African Americans. I really found myself caring about the characters. Although not in the dialect of "The Color Purple," it was reminiscent of it and was an overall great read. I will recommend it to my book club and my friends."
Lynn G. Caffrey, Oakland, CA Amazon.com
"UNCLE OTTO takes you there. It is a uniquely American story of struggle and hope set against the tumultuous growth of this nation and told though the lives of people you want and get to know like family. Read Winfred's UNCLE OTTO and be wholly transported."
Anna Perez, Communications Executive, former White House Press Secretary
In weaving fiction and family history alongside historical events, Winfred Cook offers a brilliant literary debut in UNCLE OTTO. The novel is complex in plot and character development, displaying one of the most sophisticated analyses of black migration from southern rural settings to those of the urban north during the early 20th century in the United States. The joy, struggle, and tragedy that pervades UNCLE OTTO is the best that contemporary novelists have to offer.

Ray Lewis says goodbye as a new do-nothing Congress says hello [Trending online]
By Tim Swift
The Baltimore Sun
After a long absence from the trends, sports is back with a vengeance. Ray Lewis is leaving pro-football to pursue a successful career running bowling alleys and BBQ joints -- oh wait that's not right. The Sugar Bowl, sad basketball players and more hate for Tim Tebow round out what people are searching for this morning on Twitter and Google.
Image 1 of 10
Online Trends for Jan. 3, 2012
With an impeccable eye for a news cycle, the ever so humble and self-effacing Ray Lewis announced his retirement yesterday. Because, he's probably pretty sure the Raven's are losing their next game, he made sure a crushing defeat doesn't ruin his retirement accolades. Well played, Ray, well played.
The normally dominant Florida Gators were badly bloodied last night as Louisville rolled over them to win the Sugar Bowl. According to Twitter, this is somehow Tim Tebow's fault. NBA star Blake Griffin had a tough game last night. He was both flagrantly fouled and heckled from his own bench. Ouch. If you're not a sports fan, a new Congress starts today. Where they are expected to do absolutely nothing. Scary things happened on Top Chef and American Horror Story. And if you bank with PNC, you're probably thinking about switching banks right now after a technical problems on their website. |

Hey guys what do you think the upper safe max dose of benadryl would be? like 4-6 caps a night? or less, or more?
I want to take benadryl to re-sensitize my receptors, and to sleep better.
Thanks for replies.
I didn't know it could help receptors. I know it puts my @ss to sleep if I take 2 of 'em. Bump.
it washes out the receptors what testosterone affects. I believe there is a very detailed thread about under the general topic thread. but I couldn't find it, and I am just curious about maxium doses, because doesn't even make me tired. sux I know
You could take 50-100mg qhs to upregulate your beta-2 receptors. This is commonly used in people that use clen/albuterol to resensitize their receptors. As for the mechanism of diphenhydramine being used to upregulate your ARs, I haven't researched that.
Not getting tired from it doesn't mean it's not working btw.
Typically how many days would this need to actually show significant progress; say, for a serious stim junkie?
100mg. (4 pills)
after being on clen for 2 weeks, i started taking 100mg benadryl and it made me feel like it was my first day on clen again. crazy stuff.

Yorkshire v Durham - lunch
3:26pm Wednesday 28th August 2013 in Sport
Ryan Sidebottom has moved to 699 first-class wickets during an entertaining opening session between Yorkshire and Durham at Scarborough this morning.
Durham won the toss and elected to bat in the battle of the LV= County Championship's top two sides, but they lost Keaton Jennings and Scott Borthwick lbw for ducks in three balls to Sidebottom in the third over to leave the score at 5-2.
They have recovered to reach lunch at 117-3 from 30 overs thanks in the main to opener Mark Stoneman's unbeaten 73. Ben Stokes will also resume this afternoon on 18 not out.
But they did suffer a third loss, that of Will Smith brilliantly caught at third slip by Kane Williamson diving away to his right off Jack Brooks. Smith and Stoneman had shared 62 for the third wicket.
Meanwhile, Adam Lyth has signed a new contract with Yorkshire through until December 2015. Alex Lees has been left out of this match.

The basics of acidification: baseline variability of pH on Australian coral reefs
Gagliano, Monica, McCormick, Mark I., Moore, James A., and Depczynski, Martial (2010) The basics of acidification: baseline variability of pH on Australian coral reefs. Marine Biology, 157 (8). pp. 1849-1856.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-010-1456-y
View at Publisher Website: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00227-010-145...
Ocean acidification is one of the key threats facing coral reef ecosystems, but there are few estimates of spatial and temporal variability in pH among reef habitats. The present study documents levels of spatial variability in pH among coral reef habitats (9 to 10), among locations separated by 100's km of latitude and between east (Great Barrier Reef, GBR) and west (Ningaloo Reef) coasts of Australia. Differences were found in pH between inshore and offshore waters along Ningaloo Reef (means 8.45, 8.53, respectively). Replicate assessments here ranged from 8.22 to 8.64. On the GBR, the range of values over all habitats and replicates was 0.39 pH units (7.98 to 8.37). There were minor but significant differences of 0.05 pH units between 5 consecutive days for habitats on average. Highest pH was recorded in filamentous algal beds maintained by the damselfish Dischistodus perspicillatus. Lowest pH was found in water extracted from sand-dwelling goby holes. While there were marked changes in pH over a 48-h sampling period among 4 habitats at Lizard Island (GBR), there was little evidence of a diel trend. Understanding how pH varies at scales that are relevant to organisms that live on shallow coral reefs is crucial for the design and interpretation of experiments that test the effects on organisms of the changes in water chemistry predicted to affect oceans in the future.

Microsoft To Trial 'Super WiFi' - Meeting Data Demand Or Strategic Challenge?
June 2011 | Industry Trend AnalysisMicrosoft is leading a trial that will investigate the potential for using radio spectrum not wanted for the transmission of terrestrial television for the construction of a 'super WiFi' network. The trial will need to prove that it can operate without interfering with the television signals by operating in 'white space', that is between the frequencies utilised by the television operators. BMI believes the networks have the potential to offer solutions to the growing problem of network infrastructure capacity, and may have considerable strategic benefit to the firms involved.

Tasman Resources Ltd (TAS) has agreed to sell five Exploration Licences (ELs) and one Exploration Licence Application (ELA) to BHP Billiton (BHP). All six tenements are located on the Stuart Shelf in South Australia. Total consideration is $3.0 million, payable as $2.925 million upon transfer of the ELs and $75,000 upon transfer of the ELA to BHP Billiton.
Tasman has been exploring a substantial package of tenements within a very prospective part of the Stuart Shelf/Gawler Craton in South Australia. This province hosts the Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena IOCGU deposits. Following detailed reassessment of these areas, Tasman concluded that although these outlying tenements contain several targets, they are believed to be deep, relatively high risk and as such, more suited to companies with far larger exploration budgets. Tasman also concluded that the $3.0 million from the sale of the tenements fairly represents their current value.
