-- preparing a bold move to close of the -- gender gap in business senior judicial officials.
Are pushing for new rules that could require up to 60% of corporate boards -- to be occupied by women.
-- right require but our rules like this really necessary or are they what businesses need to really get on board with the closing the gender gap joining us now.
It's a -- of the GD she's senior director of the world economic form specifically.
In the gender gap discussion Eric thank you so much for being with us thank you had me at you know it's it's fascinating because I noticed that there are very few female CEOs at the fortune 500 level here in the United States but every time I talked to one of these women.
They tell me that there in the huge demand to sit on corporate boards does not mean that there is of a new sense of awareness at least the companies realize we've got to get somebody to represent 50% of the population.
Absolutely and what we know is that globally.
Health gaps are closing education -- -- -- what that means is the human capital base women and men are are equally present.
But then when you look at economic participation in political empowerment only about 60% of the cap on economic participation has been close.
So clearly that's a waste of all of that -- now in this country in particular we know that in terms of tertiary education women make up the majority.
So as you know that at as as companies grow and they look at the talent pool who are they going to tap into.
And if they then lose those women at the entry level are at the middle management level and don't give them the opportunities all the way to the top again that's a loss of human.
What quotas.
I know you deal with the globe in it and you're based in Switzerland in fact but in the United States.
The American public hates the idea of quote it's far I think very good reasons that they're arbitrary they're not seen -- Getting the good person any kind of business you want the best person.
No matter what gender that's front and at a quota seems to work against that.
Now a quarter.
Just by itself is a very blunt instrument but if you apply sort of this mark quota if you put that photo you give long enough time to meet that quota.
When that can do is -- of -- sort of enforcing -- but it means OK -- quarter.
So -- that is not saying tomorrow we must have 30% women are 50% women in this particular position because we know that pool doesn't exist.
What we needed may be okay -- -- -- a five -- target for 30%.
And that's how we slowly build up to it you start -- that women at the middle management -- so that they can go up -- scene for us to just.
-- actually showed that that companies that have women sitting on their boards of their stocks of return on investment actually out performs others in their peer group that set.
Does it not in a way hurt women who get pushed along -- with a woman let's just ever sit here and then they don't perform properly should week.
As into David's point say let's make it a real meritocracy and make sure okay think about it.
But make sure they actually.
Now absolutely I think quotas if they are bringing forward people who don't have the right skills who don't have the right talents.
They tend not to work they tend to backfire because people -- think well why are these people here.
And those women themselves don't necessarily want to be there on that waste on the quota they want to be there on their own merit.
But what we know is that the business case is getting stronger and stronger we know that teams performed better if they're more diverse we know there's less risk taking if if there are more women present -- their gender balance teens.
You know the company's bottom lines are better if they have Mormon NC leadership so they're starting to be all this evidence it's obvious thank you very much for coming in angry shouldn't punish.
Saudi is a beauty of the World Economic Forum -- to see it.

I am quite happy with this hotel as the price v/s what I get is really good value, only if I know in advance that I can book hotel shuttle for Euro 2.5, then I don't have to spend 20 Euro for my taxi from airport. I will stay with this hotel again if I have such an occassion

If you are not looking for a luxury hotel, Hamburger hof hotel is extremely value of money, To me, the hotel rate like 3-4 stars hotel but the service and the facilities is 5 stars . It is right opposite to the train station, the hotel is new , clean, room has good space to get around , The breakfast has various kind of foods . Receptionist is very helpful . Only one thing disappointed me was one day the cleaner forgot to clean up my room. Other than that , I really like this hotel. Next time , I go for a trip I will check out the same group of Hamburger hof hotel for sure !
"Good location"Hotels.com 旅客於 2012年12月17日留下評價
Good location, very very close to main station, about 3mins walk. Good breakfast. But the room is rather old and the bathroom is small. Generally it is good and worth paid.

McCormick & Schmick's Seafood - Cincinnati
Online Reservations
Our server was exceptionally knowledgable about the menu. Great salesperson. Too full for dessert but ordered it anyway.
The restaurant printed "Happy Anniversary" on our menu and was very welcoming to us. They added a special treat at the end of the night to make it even more special.
As always, the food and service were great. This is not an inexpensive place to dine, but we always feel we got our monies worth. We are already planning a return visit.
Food and service were perfect. Our request for a booth by the window was honored. Everything was fine. Only item we didn't like is that it was freezing cold in the restaurant.
Food was fabulous and sevice excellent. We've been to this restaurant multiple times and it's one of our favorites.
With a combination of a relaxed and quiet atmosphere, great service and excellent food (both choices and quality) this is an excellent night out for that special occasion or just to enjoy quality dining. The Ultimate Mixed Grill is fantastic with outstanding flavor combinations and perfectly cooked scallops and shrimp. It is hard to give a favorite as all of the choices are excellent and well presented without too much added to spoil the rich flavors of the excellent ingredients. The combinations such as crab stuffed shrimp truly bring out the best in the food. Absolutely love this place. Even when it was crazy busy and noisy outside (beerfest happening right outside the main entrance) the ambience inside was perfect.
No cocktail onions thus no vodka Gibson. No sparkling water thus tap water. No disaster but no luxury either except for luxury pricing.
M&S is my go-to choice for business lunches. Easy reservation system, good spacing of tables and atmosphere, wide menu choices and excellent service.
Great food, service and environment! A little on the pricy side but good for special occasions.
Outstanding food, servie and ambience. Our service was gracious, prompt and attentive (without being overwhelming). It was my wife and I's first visit but will definitely be back. After dinner we strolled the Fountain plaza and enjoyed the evening. Parking in the Fountain Square garage is most convenient.
Three things are important to us when it comes to restaurants. Excellent food, quality service, and nice surroundings. McCormick and Schmick's definitely provides all three. The entire staff is well trained and attentive without being overbearing. It's a wonderful place to dine.
Food was excellent. This visit was for a wedding anniversary dinner. The menu is very pricey, and we could not afford to do this except for special occasions. The service was excellent, This was an early dinner time and it was fairly empty on a Saturday night, so we got a window seating and was able to do some people watching along the streets.
We went for daughter's 21st Birthday and they treated us like royalty. Great food, amazing location on fountain square, and a special birthday take away treat to boot! Highly recommended!!
This was our first time going there. Not only was it sweetest day but our anniversary day as well. The food was excellent and our waiter took the time to explain everything to us. We didnt feel rushed out and absolutely loved the experience. We are going to make it a regular eatting spot from now on. Thank you
On a rainy, cool autumn evening, this was a wonderful place enjoy. The restaurant was warm and dimly lit which allowed for a romantic atmosphere. Our food was delicious and service was outstanding. For my husband and I, it was a delightful experience, but we both agreed that we have enjoyed other experiences just as well that were less expensive. The restaurant was a little to hoity-toity for our liking. For a special occasion or romantic evening, it would be a remarkable choice, but for a typical Thursday evening out, it was a little over-the- top.
Service was very good. Food was very good and nice amount as well. Maybe a bit overpriced.
The server couldn't open our wine.... What funny is it was a twist top and he was trying to cut it open. I'm thinking he was REALLY new because he was so young and didn't know the menu or the wine.
When I made the reservation I noted we were celebrating our anniversary. This was commemorated at the top of the days menu. Our server, Damon, congratulated us upon greeting us and all of the staff signed one of the menus for us. This really made the night special. Damon was an excellent server. Our food was phenomenal. I had Mahi Mahi and I can honestly say it was the best I've ever had. Being parents to two young ones we don't get to do evenings out like this very often and I'm so happy we had such a great experience. We have dined here before and will continue to in the future.
Expectations are always high, for food and service. This trip did not disappoint.
We are seafood lovers and were impressed with the service, preparation and flavor of our entire meal. The appetizer - bacon wrapped shrimp stuffed with cheese- recommended by our server was delicious! The entrees were tasty as well. I dined at McCormicks in a different city in the past and left unimpressed. However, the Cicy restaurant was much better and we definitely will return to this restaurant.
The fish is always perfectly fresh and perfectly cooked. The rotating specials menu offers creative and delicious seafood combinations featuring seasonal vegetables. Delicious and healthy - YUM!
My first visit was a business lunch and it was a great experience. We were early and they accommodated us and gave us a window table. The service was great, the food was delicious and the service was friendly and helpful. It is definitely an upscale dining experience. One to be enjoyed. The variety of items to choose from was impressive and everyone in my group gave two thumbs up for the quality of the food.
Had a perfect day away without the kids and picked here. Food was fantastic with numerous seafood items from many categories and modes of preparation to chose from. Our waiter was knowledgeable and friendly but forgot to bring us our salad to the table and we simply got our main course instead. Also, the music was rather strange and WAY too loud for a nice place like this. I wouldn't come here for the latest musical selection, I come for the food and great service.
Everything was wonderful. The food and service couldn't be better. You did not have ont of the liquor to make one of your special coffees but the server provided an alternate that worked very well.
M&S is always a great place to have a lunch meeting. Servers are courteous and knowledgeable. Menu items are always fresh and well prepared. Lobster bisque is hard to pass up.
Small group, five, good choice and a very pleasant evening. Convention dinner option for us.
The Restaurant was busy but not crowded at 5pm on a Friday. Service was swift and attentive. The food selections including the "seasonal" offerings were well laid out and not intimidating. Ordered an appetizer and drinks, then the main course. Appetizer was delivered and the presentation was outstanding. Tasted as great as it looked. This theme was continued when the main dishes were served. Service was not rushed and attentive. Truely a wonderful dining experience.
Great meal. Only problem was it was Saturday night at 6 pm and they were out of the special beer and after two of four of us ordered the Salmon special the waiter came back and said they were out of the vegetables that went with the Salmon. One Salmon was also a little over cooked. The other three meals were great.
All guests ate everything on their plates because it was very good!
I have never been disappointed with McCormick & Schmick's. My wife and I just love to eat there. Everything is just great, the food, the atmosphere. For dessert I ordered a Coconut Cream pie. I noticed "I have no whip cream on mine". Well, It was still good even with out the cream topping.
My wife and I had a lovely lunch. The staff was very accomodating, the food was excellent. We'll be back.
This was a surprise treat, very relaxed with outstanding service. The food was great tasting and the portions were good sized. Arelaxed no rush feeling made the experience a thing to be remembered.
I first want to thank McCormick and Schmicks for treating me and other Veterans and Active Duty members for a meal! Without question a very generous offer. Went to lunch with my two kids and overall the food was very good. I had the cedar plank salmon which was very tasty and perfectly cooked. I would definitely order this again.
*Reservations at 7:30pm, walked right to the hostess podium, no waiting, everyone was very friendly, seated almost immediately, *Wait staff greeted the table within a few minutes. fresh sourdough bread came to the table shortly after (took a little longer to get butter) *Entrees were delicious, priced around the high side of the mid range ($20-$30/plate). Wine selection was robust and prices were typical. Ecco Domani at $27/bottle, can pick it up at Kroger for around $8. *The server (Michael) never rushed us and was very polite. He always refilled our glasses, we never had to think about it. *Ordered dessert, it was delicious, but we were already full so we took it home. *Coffee was delicious (Royal cup, I believe).
Every year this restaurant honors Veterans with a free meal. One has to appreciate that they give back to the community!
Our 2nd visit was just as enjoyable as the 1st. The food and the service were excellent. The reccomendations that the wait staff made for drinks and entrees were on the mark.
On arrival, we received a warm greeting, and our server offered great descriptions and advice. That allowed us to choose food that exactly matched what we were looking for, and the food was incredible! The entire experience was delightful. We will definitely be returning!
The fish here is as good as you'll find anywhere. My only issue is that the servers spend WAY too much time describing the menu and telling you of their favorite menu items. We literally had to cut him off after five minutes or so.
Downtown location is great for holidays. Service was friendly and responsive, food inviting, and having Fountain Square lit up was all a plus for going out for Thanksgiving dinner versus making it at home.
We enjoyed our Thanksgiving dinner and, as always, recommend this restaurant to friends. Had some old favorites, like the delicious clam chowder, but one of us ventured out of T-Day traditional foods with the seared tuna! Our waiter was a lot of fun -- lots of personality, good suggestions for cocktails, and good service throughout our meal.
I took my wife to McCormick & Schmick's for her birthday. I had Thanksgiving Special and she had a fish offering. Service was courteous and attentive without being intrusive. My meal was everything you could expect for Thanksgiving and my wife was pleased with hers also. Our visit was romantic and enjoyable. I would recommend it to all my friends.
We're from out of state & were looking for a place to have a nice Thanksgiving meal. The restaurant was very pretty and our server was very nice. We were there after 7pm on a holiday, so we really appreciated the staff taking time away from their own loved ones so that we could enjoy a meal. For being a fancy restaurant, it was extremely accommodating for our 2 younger boys. Our server was engaging and very nice. We live in New England, so I'd say we know good seafood pretty well... and I can say the meal we had was awesome! The pomegranate fizz was also a very good drink! Thank you for a great evening! !
Everything was great except for that fact that we had 6:15 reservations and did not get seated until almost 6:45. The food was great, the waiters were friendly and helpful with making decision on our order and the desert was tasteful and unique (choc. paper bag).
The food wasn't too bad. Wine was good. Swordfish was excellent. Chilean sea bass had an unpleasant mushy texture. Sea bass texture was better in the leftovers I ate the next day. Miso flavor was delicious but also enhanced in the leftovers. We've come to expect superior service at M&S, so I guess that's why mediocre service that would have been acceptable elsewhere was so annoying. Our server didn't tell us his name until he was delivering our bill. My husband said to me, "I'll be asking for anyone except X next time." I ordered dessert, but X didn't ask my husband if he wanted anything. When he brought my dessert with 1 spoon, I asked for a second one and if they had espresso. They have it, but an excellent server would have offered it.
We had a great time. Parking was easy. Food was great. Good service. It made our special occasion even more memorable.
Loved the food and great service. The wine selection is great, food perfectly prepared and personal attention was superb. Rick
Went for my 50th birthday party. Hostess was wonderful. Waiter was great and food was awesome. Would definitely go back.
From the time we were seated our server, Kyle, was on top of his "A" game. He was friendly, energetic and extremely knowledgeable about every facet of the menu. During the course of the meal he was very attentive. But, never once did we feel overwhelmed by his presence which is the mark of a true professional server. Great job Kyle! The food was exquisite. We started with the Shrimp Kisses for an appetizer. Susan had a Chopped Salad followed by the Parmesan Crusted Chicken dish and I had the Lobster Bisque soup and the blackened Chilean Sea Bass. The soup was fantastic. The size alone of the fish was impressive but the taste and juiciness was beyond belief. These people really know how to prepare and cook fish.
Went there for a kid free night with my wife, sister and brother-in-law. Showed up 30 min. Early and was told that they would sit us closer to our reservation which was at 7:45. We sat at the end if the bat and had a great time waiting talking with the bar tender and had great drinks. Was disappointed that we asked for two types of drinks and they could not make them. After waiting till 7:55 and was still not seated I asked if we could take a table in the bar area. So we did and had a great time. We all had seafood dishes had none if us were disappointed. Service was great!
It was my first time here and the food was absolutely amazing! The manager and the server were very friendly and did everything possible to make us feel at home. I'll definitely be back with friends!

In clearer language coming from clearer minds, he´s just a crook.
This article reveals more about the culture of lies at the "los angeles times" than it does about Mr. Jackson. Liars know their own.
What would one expect knowing his father would brag to black audiences that as a cook while in school, he would SPIT in the food of white customers as enjoyment!!!!Ugh, what a pig and we hold him on a pedestal!!!Art
The article shows what is and has been wrong with our media . J jr has grown up thinking he is deserving regardless of circumstance. A 43 thousand dollar rolex with money that wasn´t his He knew it was wrong. Now he apologizes. I hope they throw away the key. Wife included.
Yeah. "Bottom" from "Midsummer Night´s Dream."
No he isn´t, he is nothing more than another member of society who contributed nothing but believes he is entitled to other peoples´ money.
He and his wife are Democrats. Is anyone surprised? Really!
Well, I guess so. He does seem to fit with Iago, Richard III, Cornwall, and Edmund.
If you are a black democrat from the Chicago area then you think you are untouchable. Just wait and see how quickly he is reelected to some office after the sting of that slap on the wrist fades.Democrats don´t care about electing honest men. They only want to elect those who will give them more "gravy."
A crook by any other name would smell, well, like a crook.
"Shakespearean," eh? I had no idea that Shake-yo-spear (apologies to Jethro) had written "The Three Stooges."
No, Jackson is no figure from tragedy. He has no nobility, no grandeur. He is a small, petty man brought down by greed.
Contrast with the Times treatment of Cardinal Mahoney.
When you´re the perp, you commit atrocities.When you´re the victim, it´s tragic.When you´re caught, it´s justice.

Cool post. What strikes me about all of these ideas is that they stem from a product truth, the good ol' USP, except MasterCard. In other words, the idea was already there, all the ad team had to do was spot it and express it well, a la McCann's Truth Well Told. But MasterCard, wow, that's truly something. I mean, out of thin air the team at McCann figured out a way to hook people. VISA could have said it, AMEX, but they didn't, they had attributes that were stronger. Another GREAT idea like this, one totally fabricated (even Marlboro stemmed from a product attribute, strong) was ShitiBank's LIve Richly.
But, to the real point, do Big Ideas like all of these still matter? Of course they do. In fact, as media fragments, they become the only rudder you've got. At their very best, they reinforce certain behaviors within a business that reinforce the brand in the audience's head (the only place a brand lives, no company owns its brand, its customers do, forget that and you're doomed). My two cents!
@JeffShattuck Jeff, Thanks and great comment. One of the points I want to develop is that there are multiple kinds of Big Ideas. The old version -- tagline that defines brand and lives everywhere, i.e. Ultimate Driving Machine. Newer versions that extend across interactions but in non-replicable ways, i.e. Coke and it's linked and liquid approach to content that all reflects a Happiness Position, But then Big "small" Ideas, say in the case of Burberry (streaming live from Fashion Week to iPad users) or Uniqlo (inviting people to digitally crowdsource grand opening content). When they are done for the first time, breaking new ground (Chalkbot, Art of Trench, Ford Fiesta) they may not be as a big as a Priceless, but they have what George Lois would have considered big, just in a new way. Then there are the platforms: Garmin Connect, Nike Plus, Kickstarter, Instagram. Certainly they count. In some cases, yes, they are simply releasing/revealing a truth about a product. In other cases they are totally contrived (Marlboro) or the big idea is less in the truth but in the execution (E-Trade Baby, which, frankly, only became big after it endured.) The latter leads to another really important point today. We, agencies, brands, etc. can create ideas, but more than ever, since we can't buy attention, the marketplace and consumers, via links, shares, likes and views ends up deciding if it was Big or not.
Latest blog post: Selling a car one piece at a time
@edwardboches @JeffShattuck I agree, a tagline is most certainly not the only big idea anymore. To me, I think the biggest change in marketing is that branding by behavior is the most important idea of all. As you say, you can't buy much of anything these days regarding brand preference, but you can certainly earn it. Sadly, many businesses still believe they can force perception and, to that, all I can say is good luck. You've got to walk the talk, heck, you don't even need to talk! Perhaps the greatest example of all of an agency helping a company do this was Riney for Saturn. But then GM is GM and thought it had a better idea: rip people off. The rest is not even history, just a footnote.

When it comes to dinosaurs, one size apparently does not satisfy all. The 15 minutes of fame for Carmel's Tyrannosaurus Rex could be ending soon.
It's the bulk of the approximately 12-foot high, metal sculpture that popped up recently in the front yard of a home on 6th Avenue, that could send this brute into extinction.
City officials have decided that as a heavy structure it presents a safety issue and will need a building permit to remain. Property owner Kevin Kramer would also be required to pass the village's design review requirements in a session before the Carmel Planning Commission.
"Because of the size and weight of structure, it needs a building permit," city administrator Jason Stilwell, said in a news release. "We have also asked the owner to move it out of the front edge of the property as quickly as possible."
On Monday the dinosaur loomed over the front edge of the home's front yard, violating according to officials, city codes that require a structure or decorative work be setback 15-feet from the property line. By Wednesday it had been moved back, apparently to the allowable distance.
Whether the metal massive is art or not is a moot point, officials said, and its future could also be a non-starter.
"Our decision has nothing to do with the novelty of the statue or whether or not people find it attractive, amusing or scary," said Stilwell. "Its size simply requires a building permit."
And the reincarnation of the bygone T-rex could indeed, be gone. "I feel the owner is leaning towards moving it off the site," said community planning and building director Rob Mullane. The planning director said he exchanged e-mails to that effect with the owner on Tuesday.
The town's building official saw the sculpture as a structure "and it was a safety issue — it could topple over," said Mullane.
Kramer did not immediately respond to notes left on Monday and Wednesday seeking comment on his plans. A gardener clipping grass at the home on Wednesday said he did not have a contact number for Kramer.
"We have given the owner the opportunity to retain it and get the proper permits," said Mullane. There is no guarantee the planning commission would approve them, he said.
"If he (Kramer) wants to remove it, that's fine too, one way or the other it will be resolved."
Carmel has residential design guidelines on "what types of structures and improvements the town wants to see in residential neighborhoods," said Mullane. If Kramer decided to proceed with the needed approvals, neighbors would have the chance to voice their support or disapproval of the dinosaur.
"I think the planning commission will want to hear from the neighbors," said Mullane. He estimated that T-rex is 12 to 15 feet tall. "It's got to be pretty heavy."
Mullane said his department had gotten "quite a few complaints" about the dinosaur. Two neighbors on 6th Avenue said they liked the dinosaur's presence in the neighborhood and they consider it art.
Residents should check with building and planning officials to see what permits or design review is needed for improvements before making changes "especially if they are new to the city," said Mullane.

The Ups and Downs of Using Overlaminates
Overlaminates are becoming more and more widely used to protect images printed on a variety of substrates. Among those overlaminates are architectural finishes that add new life to signs and graphics that once had to stand on their own.
When it comes to developing a relationship with a vendor, Caruso states the importance of working with someone with knowledge of the products and processes. Unlike catalog companies, AGL is able to offer expert advice.
Caruso says, "This is where AGL stands out. We are not a catalog. We're much more hands on as a company. It's where we excel."
Caruso continues, "There are many systems out there. They are so diverse. It's not about just choosing colors, profiles, etc. Now it's about understanding the process.
Pricing Overlaminates
Pricing overlaminates poses the same problem for PSPs as pricing any other finishing job. It is even more difficult if the PSP is not accustomed to using overlaminates or is somewhat uneducated regarding the process. Clearly, pricing is an important part of any job and a PSP has a large number of factors to consider before creating that final invoice.
Nerenhausen said, "Pricing is tricky, because it's dependent on the local market and what that market will bear as well as your business model and whether it's more custom or more production oriented. Still, some basic concepts hold true. Calculate all the items you use to get the job done—ink, material, time, overhead, and anything else that goes into production. With that as a baseline, you can determine what profit margin you can add to fit your market and the value of your product. The profit margin for someone mass-producing billboards will be different than a custom, color-critical print shop, and pricing will vary considerably coast-to-coast."
Roba also pointed out that PSPs must be aware of their own processes. "They have to take into account the limitations and capabilities that they have. And then they have to take into account the time that goes in for set up, the time it takes to actually run the job, scrap, and then additional finishing of that and how long it's going to take, based on the size... It's taking into account all of the variables and factors you have in your printing process."
PSPs must also consider amortization on equipment, overhead, and other factors that should go into the pricing of any job.
Caruso said pricing can be difficult for some because of the cost of materials which is not a fixed price. PSPs must also ensure that they are buying the right materials, not just focusing on cost.
"The market is regionalized and there are price fluctuations so it's hard to put numbers down," stated Caruso. "It's important to find the right company to partner with. Buying the right tool for the right job is paramount to the process."
"Finishing should be viewed as an essential value added service. It's something that gives you a leg up against your competitors," said Stadelman. "Laminating and finishing should be a value add, it should be an upsell for them. It should be a way for them to add to their bottom line for a quality product. Again, it's how they separate themselves from their competitors."
Stadelman adds: "Pick the right product for the job and price it that way. You get what you pay for. It goes along that way."
As with any material or service, there are noticeable trends. "It seems with laminates it's kind of come to a plateau in that there are some specialty laminates, but the drawback with laminates that create special effects is that the special effects are created over the entire graphic as opposed to localized special effects which most people would want. That's more of a limiting factor. So those, I don't think, have gotten the wide acceptance in the market as many people would have thought.
Roba continued: "There is a trend as far as laminates for paint replacement films. The laminate is actually incorporated into the manufacture of the film eliminating a step for labor and time at the converter and/or the applicator. It's not actually a lamination; it's an incorporation of the two products being fused together."
According to Stadelman, "Architectural finishes are really big right now. There's a lot of unique product, again it goes to that unique media thing, but also in the look of the finished product I think there's a lot of exciting laminate opportunities showing up on the market with more to come.

As the fiscal cliff hogs all the headlines in the markets are headed for negative week -- rally.
Tobin Smith.
-- NBC equity research founder and CEO by the way and -- next big thing he joins us for the last hour of trading that Foley an optimist here.
Everything you know it's like the note -- in the unknown knows we know the knows -- Lino -- -- -- don't they're gonna do what when Israel goes in Oregon there's going to be things that are going to happen but nothing should take anybody by surprised.
The hedge fund the big money guys are still way behind the market they were sort of the guys -- forces up September October.
There's also betting on -- you you know -- like talk for months about -- was almost impossible Romney went.
Every right -- Republicans don't think it's well.
-- -- -- -- Statistically it was an episode but all the spend money was coming up on this Romney went so we needed a correction we're -- a correction as we get in December though.
You know fiscal clue what.
Remember -- -- Charlie Brown Lucy yeah right well this try to -- -- it.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And -- just that it doesn't -- we're gonna come down the eleventh hour we know that's gonna happen they're gonna do dug down table that's my favorite term now who's going to be the down table which we're gonna greeted agree disagree on this stuff we're agree on 10% quite does Charlie Brown follow -- has to he does well on his focus but.
At the end of the -- -- -- that's known as well I you know I -- live in DC and and I have many many people telling about.
There's working groups already put together they know what it's going to be the theatrics Kabuki theater is gonna go on here -- -- -- market -- If I'm -- prince correctly either way the head she's how to let me -- -- to win best yes they -- paid to sit on the sidelines so they have to by year end.
Make some type of the -- with the client's money.
Diet and I think I'm not being Sinclair but.
80% of the hedge funds are below the the index funds so the people we're getting -- nothing.
Are -- 120 basis points a year -- -- driven guys who take 20%.
Right sell all of those fees -- paying.
And they're not even matching the S&P 500 right -- analysts also understand triathlon club right we also understand also that we've got this you know insane thing with apple were people a particular capital gains now and -- may be well all be buying it back you know December 2 the -- away as soon as they're.
You know the -- laws you can ticker tax laws now a couple of them are -- -- today.
Actually you know they erased about a 4% loss earlier today with some positive -- now we've reversed again were down about a dollar 47 but.
If you look at the intra day you'll see that kind of behavior at the moment and and I look at that -- today's suddenly wake up and say that a 25% correction in the stock might be a buying opportunity.
Haven't we seen this a couple of times before.
We have you know if you go back and I guess we've been sampled it offensive so to.
We get 30% pull back some -- lose that that's what we get an at at about 480 -- That's where we are about 30% pullback you know what thought -- unified -- and by the way we never had it though at a five PE because at Ford die for eighty particular forward earnings.
You're buying it for five PE if you took the cash out it may be a three price surgery where that would June by apple right now.
I'm going to be a little more picky because I'd certainly wanna buy below 500 I think we're gonna we're gonna test that over the -- salary cap so it but that's now just market.
Massive nations that has nothing to do with investing it has to do with with funds some funds have been 12% of their money in apple they got a slowdown got to bring these numbers -- but accelerated.
OK let's say the slow for JD protect.
And then I then did you do you value that it becomes a value viral what Warren Buffett would buyer for crying out loud for has a great -- It has huge amount of cash and -- be buying it for but thirty excuse me -- -- 60% discount to the overall mark why he doesn't.
-- -- -- would you estimate they have absolutely -- just like technology but he finally dipped into Intel for a minute and then also IBM.
So let's look from the pictured here because if apple might eventually do well perhaps some of that has to do with the fact that it will be on a lot of people's holiday shopping west slope I don't know about.
Ladies was saying not the last hour shut up thought you know she's right whether its iTunes gift cards.
Or even just a little -- who knows what -- do you feel as we look at the overall retail picture 'cause you don't you don't retail all the time.
That worst may be good to see some type a better -- we head into December.
Well make a -- percent to.
Right right I think the Santa Claus rally let's never confuse the economy with the stock market right to the start target is room for reasons it's going down -- -- go up later.
The economy is gonna be some you know post sandy -- -- I was just.

Professor Lens' research focuses on housing consumption behavior, inter-group differences in outcomes, and effects of anti-poverty housing programs. He looks at relationships between affordable housing programs and neighborhood crime using applied econometric methods and longitudinal data at the national scale and in New York City. His research directly challenges existing research suggesting that households using voucher subsidies live in similar neighborhoods to those who utilize tax credit housing programs in terms of both poverty concentration and residential segregation (thereby suggesting that housing vouchers have little to no effect on neighborhood choice and quality of life). He argues that (1) public safety more than poverty rates is a principal factor in residential choice, (2) residential choice patterns vary systematically by race/ethnicity, and (3) subsidized housing does not increase neighborhood crime rates.
Professor Lens teaches courses on Housing Markets and Policy and Research Design Methods.

Well done Lucy, one of the forum members uses the same idea with the hanging baskets..a great idea.
Hi Alan
Thanks for your reply. I tried to upload a couple of photos without success.... have seen instructions on how to do it somewhere on the site. Is it possible to upload related pictures retrospectively, or at a later time, to a post?
Regards Jill
Hi jill yep click the use rich formatting link biottom right..
also look here www.rspb.org.uk/.../389440.aspx
Thanks for the information and the link........ another challenge....
It was the rich formatting tip that did the trick Alan - thank you:)
And a challenge conquered lol..well done.
Thats a good idea putting it in the hedge like that
Thank you, and the sparrows like it too......
Brilliant idea. Also, if you have a bird table, making "walls" out of clematis netting keeps the big birds off - my in-laws used this method very successfully.
Hi Rosy
Thank you for your reply. I bought a bird table - after my first visit from the sparrow hawk realised I had to protect it. You have given me the answer. Another trip to the agricultural store........
Jill (alias Lucydot)
WOW, that is amazing...... The Magpies, Crows and Jays don't seem to be too greedy on my feeders, but I've had to adapt mine to keep the pigeons from stealing everything... I get very fed up with the continious peck, peck, peck at ANY food I put out. Have spent quite a bit on a mix of devices to try and stop both them and the squirrels who only seem to leave once they have eaten everything, or I scare them off. My task now will be to find a hanging basket 'nest' that has small enough gaps to deter the squirrels, although I have witnessed them physically shaking most the anti-squirrel feeders I have bought in order to 'shake out' the contents.... Thanks for the idea though, ingenious whoever 1st came up with it :-)
Hi Sarah my pigeons behave themselves and as yet the squirrels haven't discovered the new takeaway in the Forest. I'm working towards an inexpensive squirrel deterrent for their inevitable arrival and will post it when I'm confident it could work.
Hi Jill,
How funny, our bird behaviours are not the same across the Country! I look forward to your squirrel deterrent devices. They really are a menace in my garden, and not considered cute one little bit. Every single tub is attacked with them burying nuts and almost killing several plants/shrubs with their digging! As for pigeons, we also put loads of netting on the allotment to help protect cabbages etc from the pigeons, who literally strip them down to the ground. So, because I also worry about the little birds getting caught in the nets, I use shiny foil and upturned plastic bottles on bamboo canes to put them off.
Hi Sarah
I think our pigeons would behave badly if we had an urban garden. Ours is just grass, hedges and trees. Not much they can find for mischief - other than the crows and their friends swinging on the feeders. I'm waiting for them to learn how to prise the baskets open with their feet!
Wouldn't it be good if the rspb community members brought out a book of hints and tips generated by their combined knowledge and experience? I'd buy one.

Hey guys, just finished a new terrain development pipeline. It uses the new shader I brought to RoR that supports Bump Mapping and Alpha Splatting (tutorial here). It works like this: 1: Terrain procedurally generated in World Machine, along with up to 9 different alpha-splat layers, vegetation layers and a ground model. 2: Terrain exported with the use of automated scripts to EarthSculptor, where manual modifications are performed. 3: Using automated scripts (again ) all files are exported into the right format for RoR and put into a zip. 4: Terrain is given a name and we are set to go! Here are some preliminary results from my profile (EDIT: You have to log in to see the pictures): Desert terrain with the use of 8 different custom textures: Sand Dunes terrain that I made after going on an ATV trip: This one was made to test snow: A very mountainous rock-crawling map: Oh, and I forgot to mention I also use custom Caelum scripts for the rain: It's also pretty low impact (I get around 40 FPS on a normal terrain): And the best part is, with all the automated scripts and everything, all it takes for me to pump out one of these terrain is...... 30 minutes, everything included. Oh, and it'll be just as compatible with the new Cryengine stuff when that comes out too. Maybe next weekend I'll just devote a whole day to making terrains, and just take requests in real-time

Saturday the Texas A&M Women's Basketball team had a chance to enjoy the A&M Football victory over Baylor then go out for some fun.
The team played a few rounds of paintball in College Station.
This is the second year the team has gone paint balling. They played for the first time last year and took home the NCAA National Championship.
Owners of the paintball facility say that's the team-building exercise should be the team's new good luck charm.
Players say it's a great opportunity to get to know one another on a deeper level.
Some say it might be premature to call this a tradition, but there's an old Aggie saying,"Do anything twice and it's a tradition."

Hog confinements: Taylor asks to improve Ivy
Ivy Avenue will cost at least $200,000 to be fixed correctly; county uncertain when they'll have room in budget for the project
The time has come.
Now that permits for his two 5,000-head hog confinements are approved by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Mike Taylor of Taylor Family Farms is asking county officials to improve the roadways near the hog confinements — specifically Ivy Avenue.
Monday, the board told Taylor in order to upgrade Ivy Avenue from a level B to level A roadway he will need to fill out a petition with County Engineer Steve Akes.

Phillip Phillips
Age: 21
Hometown: Leesburg, Georgia
Heartbreaking fact: He has a girlfriend.
Watch All of Phillip Phillips' Peformances From American Idol 2012
Phillip Phillips Comments on His Health Status
Phillip Phillips Cries After Winning American Idol Season 11 on May 23, 2012 (VIDEO)
Phillip Phillips, the boy so talented his parents named him twice. This 21-year-old American Idol Season 11 contestant grew up in Sasser and Leesburg, Georgia, and has made it into the Top 13 contestants for this season. In his Savannah audition, Phillip performed an animated rendition of Stevie Wonder's hit, "Superstition." Prior to landing on Idol, he worked in his family's pawn shop and studied industrial systems technology at Albany Technical College.
According to Albany Uncovered, Phillip started playing music when he was 14, and is a frequent performer in Albany, Georgia, gigging with the band G&S or with his younger sister. In addition to singing, Phillip also plays the bass, piano, and drums. Phillip names Dave Matthews, Johnny Lang, Mumford & Sons, and Tool among his musical influences.
Don't expect Phillip to be singing a ton of love songs; he tells The Albany Journal: "I don't like gushy love songs or songs that are just stupid and make no sense at all. If you write a love song, make it different — don't just write, 'I love you baby, you are so wonderful …!' It aggravates me.
True to his own word, Phillip has made some non-traditional song choices during his time on Idol. Some, like Dave Matthews Band's "The Stone," didn't go over so well the judges. But his gamble on lesser-known tunes like Damien Rice's "Volcano" helped launch him into the finale show. Not that the Season 11 heartthrob has ever lacked support from voters! He's the only contestant never to have touched the Bottom 3 or 2 during the show.
Pitted against pint-sized diva Jessica Sanchez in the Top 2, it was difficult to choose between the two formidable finalists. But Phillip's performance of the original song "Home" during the first half of the Idol finale all but proved that he had a serious chance of taking home the crown.
On May 23, 2012, a record 132 million votes declared Phillip the winner of American Idol Season 11!

By April Dudash Staff writer
U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers and a room full of North Carolina business people didn't shy away from the budget cut elephant in the room Tuesday morning.
Instead, the conversation focused on federal contracting opportunities rather than uncertainties.
Ellmers, along with the North Carolina Defense Business Association, held a Doing Business with the Federal Government Seminar at the Crown Center. About 60 businessmen and women attended. The event was the first of its kind hosted by Ellmers, a Republican who represents the 2nd District.
Ellmers said she and her team had second thoughts about holding the event during the initial implementation of automatic federal budget cuts, also known as sequestration.
"Even with the sequester in place, the government will still be doing business," Ellmers said. "And that's why we decided it would be important to continue to have this event."
Federal spending in North Carolina's 2nd District totaled $1.3 billion in fiscal 2012, according to Ellmers' office. The district includes Lee and Moore counties, and parts of Cumberland, Harnett and Hoke counties.
North Carolina's defense industry is second only to agriculture, Ellmers told the group.
Local businesses shared advice on how to dive into the defense marketplace. USfalcon, an integrated technology solutions company headquartered in Morrisville, and Alotech, an engineering and fabrication solutions business in Sanford, will remain unaffected by sequestration, for now.
Francis Chester, Alotech's vice president of sales and marketing, said a multiple-award Air Force contract they started working on last year gave them more credibility with the military.
Both Chester and Peter von Jess, USfalcon's chief executive officer, agreed that fostering good business relationships is the best way to stay afloat within the troubled defense industry.
Due to "this low-price shoot-out that's going on right now because of the budget constraints, the government will buy inexperience at a low price," Jess said. "Be careful what you're doing ... if you have one bad past performance, you're done."
From the agency perspective, a representative from the Army Research Office said there would only be a 10 percent cut to its funding. But that still may create delays in contract awards, said David Christ, Army Research Office small business specialist.
Companies also listened to a panel of small business development experts from the Small Business Administration and Procurement Technical Assistance Center.
"Cuts were coming anyway, but this was kind of compounded," said Terry Stroud, a N.C. PTAC counselor, about the pressure of sequestration. "It scares many who are trying to enter the market, and that's why it's going to be important to deal with the resources out there ... it is still a huge market."
Mark Mills, who is the North Carolina PTAC director, told companies to watch the fourth fiscal quarter, around August and September, for last-minute contracting opportunities.
Sequestration has been a painful process, Ellmers said in an email after the event, but the federal government is still offering opportunities to North Carolina companies.
And small businesses need help navigating the bureaucracy and finding contacts, she said.
"If we wanted to make this event political, we would have," Ellmers said. "We could have publicized it and invited all sorts of press and outsiders to come and see a show. But this was not (and should not be) political. People's jobs and businesses are on the line and facing crippling uncertainty."
Jovita Simons of Fayetteville was in the audience Tuesday. She owns her own retail gift business and used to hold contracts with AAFES, the Army and Air Force Exchange Service.
She said she attended to find ways to reinvent her business, Jovita's Place.
"You can't keep doing the same thing and expect different results," she said. "It's called insanity."
And Simons said she won't let the fear of budget cuts hold her back.
"Just because it may take longer or it might be more difficult, that doesn't mean 'no' to me."

A cardioid that thinks it's an omni.
The Heil Sound PR 35 is an incredibly versatile vocal mic. It has an amazing amount of rear rejection but exhibits no off-axis coloration, so it is like having a supercardioid and omni mic in one! It works well for commercial broadcast, recording, and live sound reinforcement applications. When you need a smooth, flat response over a wide frequency range the Heil PR 35 is your mic. The PR 35 was designed around the acclaimed PR 30 element and incorporates a sorbothane shock mount to give you the best possible results.
The PR 35 mic achieves its exceptional performance by using a special magnet structure and a large aluminum 1-1/2" low-mass voice coil assembly. A carefully wound and placed hum bucking coil allows the Heil PR 35 to be placed near video monitors without unwanted hum or buzz. Special attention has been paid to the phasing plug assembly with equally placed ports that sense audio from behind the source. It then enters them out of phase, thus producing a very linear cardioid pattern. This reduces the proximity effect while achieving the extreme articulation across its smooth 40 Hz - 18 kHz frequency response. The Heil element can be used in extreme high sound pressure levels and is immune to overload conditions. It produces a beautifully smooth audio response without the inconvenience of phantom or outside DC powering.
The PR 35 microphone is equipped with a low-cut roll-off switch to prevent low-end feedback loops from ever getting started.
The Heil PR 35 mic's cardioid pattern offers the greatest rejection of unwanted audio at 180° off axis, which is directly behind the microphone; there is virtually no off-axis coloration.
Supplied with a microphone clip that mounts to any 5/8" 27-thread mic stand. It also comes with a leatherette carrying case and wind screen.
For amateur radio, a CC-1 XLR cable is required to interface with a transceiver.

Summary and Book Reviews
Someone Knows My Name: Summary and book reviews of Someone Knows My Name by Lawrence Hill
Turning the pages of Hill's book is effortless in one sense and very difficult in another. Protagonist Aminata Diallo's desire for freedom is unquenchable, her drive inspiring and superhuman. The losses she experiences, however, are just as potent as her will. Brief joys of love and family are suffocated by mourning time and time again. Some scenes approach the threshold of heartache plausible for one soul to bear, requiring Hill to find or create a new purpose for Aminata's fight for life and freedom to continue. Most often, her rare literacy and gift for languages is her saving grace, offering a welcome nod to the power of reading and writing to change a life – or the direction of an entire nation.

Life Is Not Trivial …
Sunday Evening Message
The world is hungry for people filled with life because they see a reflection of eternity in everything.
The world is hungry for people filled with life because they see a reflection of eternity in everything.
God gets glory not from our heroic exertion but from our reliance upon his strength—when we serve as one who serves with the strength which God supplies.
Anything, absolutely any act or attitude which is owing to a lack of trust in God is sin, no matter how moral it may appear to men. God looks on the heart.
The death of Christ does not turn away the wrath of God from all people. In order to benefit from the work that God has done outside of us, we must now experience the work that he does within us by the Holy Spirit. What is this work and how is it related to the gift of justification?
The great problem in contemporary Christian living is not learning the right things to do but how to do the right things. The problem is not to discover what love looks like but how to love by the Spirit.
The fundamental meaning of being filled with the Spirit is being filled with joy that comes from God and overflows in song.
If the knowledge of God's glorious promises does not spur us on to strive against the tide, then we will be barren and fruitless and drift to our destruction.
The essence of lukewarmness is the statement, "I need nothing." The lukewarm are spiritually self-satisfied.
Your enjoyment of freedom is much more important to God than many of the day-to-day decisions that fill us with so much concern.
People who bear the fruit of the Spirit know they are worthy only of condemnation. They know that the only pay they can earn is the wrath of God.
Jesus planned for our joy; we ought to plan for his glory.
If we are not walking in the light, we have no warrant for believing that our sins are covered.
Faith says to every temptation of the world: NO, BE GONE! I know where true satisfaction is to be found.
It is the duty of Christians to seek God's power to fulfill good resolves.
Mercy comes from mercy. Our mercy to each other comes from God's mercy to us.
Obedience to God makes our God-glorifying hope visible and proves that it is real in our lives.
If God were only an incinerating fire, heaven would be empty. And if he were no fire, heaven would be empty.
The cross is not a mere event in history; it's a way of life!
Jesus had love to suffer for us that we might have faith to suffer with him.
The market wants power to escape weakness in leisure, but Christianity offers power to endure weakness in love.
The aim of life—including our social and political life—is to live to God.
Of all the things Paul could have chosen as the foundation of your life in Christ, he picks the mercies of God. Why?
What is the balance between being in the world and yet not of the world?
When it comes to serving Christ, half-heartedness, lukewarmness, laziness, sluggishness, and slothfulness are utterly inappropriate.
Miracles should motivate us to look past the miracle to Jesus and move away from sin.
Indwelling Sin The Power & Effects of Sin Spiritual Warfare Prayer The Bible Justification Loving Others Killing Sin Identity in Christ Pursuit of Holiness

Do you want a place where you can discuss your deepest feelings about yourself and the society we live in, in a supportive atmosphere?

Heathens hit back in style
3:30pm Thursday 29th August 2013 in Football
HEATHENS bounced back to winning ways in emphatic style as they thrashed Isle of Wight 60-31 at Monmore Wood.
Just 24 hours after suffering their first defeat of their National League campaign at Kent, the Heathens put in a rampant display.
And team boss Will Pottinger was thrilled to see his side back to their best with a powerful showing.
Pottinger said: "It was a lot easier than what we were expecting in the end against a side tipped by many to finish top of the league at the start of the season.
"It was good to put right our loss against Kent, and it was an excellent performance from all the boys.
"It's good to put in another great showing to keep building our confidence and also add three more points as we look to finish top of the table."
Lewis Blackbird and Ashley Morris both struck maximums for the home side - combining for entertaining 5-1s in heats 13 and 15 to cap off an excellent evening.
Yet although it was Blackbird and Morris who stole the spotlight it was a strong all-around display from the Heathens.
Paul Starke, Dan Greenwood and Max Clegg all suffered just one defeat apiece with classy performances as the home side accounted for 13 race winners and struck seven 5-1s.
Middle-order man Gareth Isherwood also scored in every outing with a solid showing, and although Nathan Greaves endured a nightmare evening at reserve his team-mates covered his troubles.

TABOR CITY - Additional charges have been filed against a man who is accused of dislocating a Tabor City police officer's jaw, Assistant District Attorney Fred Gore said.
District Court Judge Pauline Hankins set $150,000 bail Friday for James Rico Gore, who is no relation to the district attorney, on the charges filed against him Thursday: strangulation, assault with a deadly weapon, going armed to the terror of the people and discharging a firearm in the town limits.
Bail totaling $26,000 for the previous charges - assault on a law enforcement officer with serious injury and a misdemeanor count of resisting police - remains in place.
Rico Gore is accused of attacking Officer Matt Turner as he investigated a report of gunfire on West Sixth Street in Tabor City on Tuesday night.
Fred Gore said he sought higher bail on the additional charges because Rico Gore was convicted Jan. 11 of resisting police in 2012.

Shrink Rap / borderline and custody
« on: Aug 06, 2012, 04:34:09 PM »
I have an ex-girlfiend who has accused someone of rape, someone of molestation and me of domestic violence. I dont want to get to detailed. I am non-violent, and I dont believe any of the other accusations are true. After a tremendous amount of reading I believe she suffers from BPD. The courts are so one sided to her that I am flabergasted.I am in Ohio and currently looking for a good custody attorney. Not having alot of luck. How can these courts see such destructive behavior and ignore it. At the present time I am not allowed to see my child. I did nothing wrong. She threw a restraining order on me, the courts gave her my vehicle & she has emptied my home. Has any man ever won a case when the mom is BPD? And does anyone know of a good custody lawyer?

Unfortunately, not everybody is as open minded or as free to express their beliefs as you. And some people need to be influenced or guided by others.
The "advice" from these stars can go both ways, good and bad. Positive and negative. So, in all things, people SHOULD be encouraged to develop their own minds, opinions and positions.

So, I've been meaning to jump into Lovecraft's work. Problem is, I don't know where to start! I've already read Call of Cthulhu and At The Mountains of Madness, but I want to read the rest of his work in such a way that I can piece together the pieces of his mythos myself, which I've heard is more fun.
So, any recommendations?

In summary:
- Analysis of data from the My Schools website has revealed a mismatch between the ethnicity of school and the suburb in which they are located
- UTS researchers say Federal education funding policy over a number of years has led to culturally unbalanced schools
Education policy has led to culturally unbalanced schools and potential social problems in the future according to a new paper by UTS researcher Dr Christina Ho.
Analysing data from the My School website Dr Ho has contrasted the ethnicity within schools and the suburb in which they are located.
In her paper, 'My School' and Others: Ethnic segregation and white flight, Dr Ho argues that education policy needs to be linked to community rather than market and students need to have the opportunity to leave their own "cultural bubble".
"Sydney's wealthiest and high-performing elite schools have the lowest levels of cultural diversity and are almost exclusively Anglo students," she said. "Public schools in low socio economic areas have high cultural diversity and yet Anglo students seem to have abandoned their local area.
"Wenona School in North Sydney reports zero per cent of students with a language background other than English (LBOTE), while the LBOTE figure for the suburb is 23 per cent. In comparison, Birrong Boys High School has 94 per cent of students with a LBOTE, compared to a 55 per cent figure for the suburb.
"We need to see a reversal of the effect of the Federal Government's socio-economic status (SES) funding policy that has resulted in greater funding for non-government schools.
"The policy, which stipulated that no private school would lose funding, even if their socio-economic status improved over time, has meant that half of Australian private schools are now funded above their SES formula.
"In addition 'school choice' policies have encouraged parents to become more active in their search for 'good schools', but parents are unevenly equipped to make educational decisions.
"Working-class and migrant background parents are among those who are usually less equipped to engage with the complexities of the schooling system and school choice seems to be speeding up the process of ethnic concentration and segregation."
Professor and Head of the Social and Political Change Group at UTS, Andrew Jakubowicz, said that current and previous government funding policy had created a dynamic that would intensify social conflict and exclusion, through reinforcing centripetal forces of ethno-religious clumping.
"We are still waiting for policies that will provide some counter-weight and ensure opportunities for inter-group interaction, learning and engagement," he said.
"What we have now is a recipe for disengagement and isolation."
Dr Ho's paper is available on the Australian Review of Public Affairs website.
