Obama and McCain both support $25 billion automaker bailout
The presidential nominees of the Evil Party and the Stupid Party both support a massive bailout of the auto industry.
Tack on another $25 billion to bailout-palooza. And forget conservative principles: Michigan's electoral votes are at stake!
As I have said many times: God save us from bipartisanship.
If your blood pressure isn't off the charts, you aren't paying attention:
Among the few bills likely to actually become law before Congress closes shop for the elections is a plan to give struggling U.S. automakers $25 billion in federal loans.
Opponents criticize it as a taxpayer-funded industry bailout, but the legislation is steaming ahead anyway, buoyed by the support of both John McCain and Barack Obama.
It's no coincidence that the legislation would help manufacturing states like Michigan and Ohio, whose voters could very well determine the outcome of the presidential election.
The loans would be used to help General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co., and Chrysler LLC retool their factories to produce cleaner, more fuel-efficient vehicles as required under an energy bill passed last year.
The automaker loan program was established — but not funded — under the same bill. That sets it apart from the federal government's intervention to prevent the collapse of Bear Stearns and a subsequent takeover of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Funding is needed before any loans can be made. The money would subsidize the loans, provide a cushion for possible defaults and absorb the cost of permitting automakers to defer loan payments for up to five years. The Congressional Budget Office says the $25 billion in loans would cost the government $7.5 billion…
…For his part, McCain initially opposed the program, but reversed course after coming under assault.
"Our auto companies are rising to the challenge of building the next generation of American cars," McCain said last month, adding that the government should "assist Detroit and its suppliers in making it through this difficult time of transition."

BMW's new SportBoxer on test
By Ben Purvis -
New bikes
30 March 2007 13:03
BMW'S forthcoming Le Mans race bike has been spotted testing at Cartagena in Spain – and alongside two racers appears to be something closer to the road-going HP2 Sport road-going superbike.
The two racers in the foreground are identical to the machine revealed here last week, but the third appears to have a different exhaust, which is much more neatly blended into the bodywork.
During the test, the bikes are claimed to have lapped just a couple of seconds off the pace of superbike-spec racers.

If the Democrats lose the House tomorrow, Nancy Pelosi's demotion will be largely unlamented: Nearly six in 10 registered voters have an unfavorable opinion of the speaker, and a striking number of them feel strongly about it.
But, in terms of public opinion, that doesn't exactly mean it's party time for John Boehner.
As with Pelosi, although to much less extreme a margin, more people see Boehner unfavorably than favorably, the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll finds. Many as yet have no opinion of the Republican minority leader, a 10-term congressman from Ohio who's positioned to take over from Pelosi as speaker if the GOP wins control.
For Pelosi, the tables have turned dramatically. More registered voters held a favorable rather than unfavorable view of her, by 46 percent to 34 percent, a month after the Democrats won control of the House in 2006. Today, with a favorable-unfavorable rating of 29-58 percent, she's lost 17 points on the positive side, and gained 25 points on the negative.
Equally dramatic is the number of registered voters who have a "strongly" unfavorable opinion of Pelosi – 41 percent, up from 19 percent in December 2006. Just 12 percent see her "strongly" favorably.
For comparison, Pelosi's favorability rating is now 10 points below Sarah Palin's in this same poll, produced for ABC News by Langer Research Associates. Their unfavorable ratings are similar (Palin's, as reported Friday, is 54 percent).
Boehner, for his part, is less well-known than Pelosi, less disliked, but likewise more unpopular than popular. Twenty-one percent of registered voters see him favorably, 35 percent unfavorably, with 44 percent expressing no opinion.
A favorability rating is the most basic measure of a public figure's popularity. It's trouble to have unfavorable views exceed favorable ones, as is the case for Pelosi, Boehner and Palin alike.
Political and ideological differences on these leaders, if expected, are impressive nonetheless. Boehner is seen favorably by 36 percent of conservative Republicans, vs. 16 percent of liberal Democrats. And for Pelosi the gap turns epic: Sixty-four percent of liberal Democrats see her favorably. This plummets to 2 percent of conservative Republicans.

FST Media: What are your IT priorities for the next 12 to 18 months?
Muhammad: Having completed our core system replacement project in 2013 our focus is now twofold – driving business enablement through our digital strategy, and enhancing technology capability via the utilisation of technology industry advances such as cloud and SAAS, while embedding a strong innovation mindset.
This year we have implemented a fully responsive all-device online presence with the new racq.com.au sites. By the end of the year, we will have all development and test activities operating in the AWS cloud across the breadth of our systems. We are rolling out tablets to our roadside patrols and our first Google glass app will pilot before the end of the year.
Consolidation of production infrastructure has been a priority and our Oracle Supercluster will be implemented in November with production for all insurance and roadside applications running on it. In 2015, we will complete the implementation of our Microsoft Dynamics ERP, continue to enhance our digital capability with end-to-end fulfilment, provide a new app to our members, and see the first few of our new insurance offerings enter the market as we leverage the capabilities of our Guidewire Suite.
FST Media: What technology or innovation flying under the radar is destined to shake up the insurance industry?
Muhammad: Telematics and its application towards usage and behaviour based insurance has already started a shift in CMV insurance. Adoption in Australia has been slow, but we are seeing a number of really interesting models emerge overseas. More profound disruption will arise from recent innovations like driverless cars as this model changes who to assess for risk in underwriting. Should the burden of insurance not live with the manufacturer in such an arrangement, and is that going to lead to some integration between the two industries?
More fundamentally though, companies that are utilising technology to integrate themselves into their customer's lives in a meaningful way, as well as building the ability to innovate and react to the changes with agility are going to win out in the longer run. These will be the companies that can react to disruptions and will be afforded longer lead times by their customers in the event of such a change. If you are not a disrupter yourself, developing a well-integrated ecosystem is one of the best defensive strategies; – that is where the better financial services companies are turning to and that is what forms the foundation of our technology strategy at RACQ to help future proof our organisation.
FST Media: What challenges has RACQ overcome in the implementation of the new core system, Guidewire, and how will you measure its success?
Muhammad: A core system implementation exercise in any financial services company is a major undertaking, with challenges ranging from product selection to implementation planning, and scope management to user migration. The background to RACQ's implementation was our buyout of RACQI (RACQ Insurance) from our JV partner Suncorp. This meant that we were undergoing an organisational integration at the same time as changing our core systems and implementing a CRM system. Over the course of the two years of this programme, technology within RACQ went from a small group to a now sizable operation with a well-structured operating model and roughly 50 projects in flight.
The success of the implementation is evident from the seamless transition of our customer base to this new platform – which has been operating now for more than a year. The next phase of our strategy is utilising our core system to implement some exciting new products – watch this space.
FST Media: What are the expected benefits of RACQ's cloud adoption and how will you address security concerns?
Muhammad: The rapid wave of change that we have seen in this space is probably the most fundamental shift in the technology industry in a while. Many areas of initial concern such as security, jurisdiction, privacy and connectivity, which were commonly held to be issues, have been comprehensively resolved. Unfortunately regulation, legislation and public perception are still catching up.
Our approach has been to establish the appropriate disciplines while transitioning gradually to this new model. Our journey has started off with all of our development and testing environments moving to the AWS cloud, while retaining our systems or records on premise.
The agility that comes with this model is what makes cloud adoption an integral tenet of RACQ technology's long term strategic vision. In many companies the initial cost and time required to set up all the relevant technology environments to enable the commencement of a project can derail a business case from the outset. We saw the benefits of cloud adoption in this space recently at the start of our ERP platform implementation – where the cloud based cost for the environments is only expected to be between 5-10 per cent annually of the original estimated capex required to own the infrastructure for the implementation.
FST Media: What can we expect next from RACQ's online channel and how important is it to ensure a seamless customer experience across all channels?
Muhammad: We realised we were lagging behind in this space as our focus was towards the core system programme, but RACQ's revamped web presence, which has gone online recently has put us back in the game, if not ahead of many competitors. This has been implemented on a completely new CMS, and employs progressive rendering capabilities to adjust to the many devices used by our customer base. The focus of this revamp has been user centric design and we have learnt a lot of techniques which we intend to carry through into future projects in this and other domains. External reviews that we have commissioned suggest that the new sales process is on par with or exceeding best practice in streamlined processing and user friendliness.
Most companies talk about seamless customer experience across all channels – but at RACQ our commitment is to make our services available to our customers in their channel of choice. In many cases this has meant retaining our physical presence in remote locations, and not pushing our customers into more cost-effective channels. Being owned by our members helps make this a much easier decision than it would have been in a shareholder owned company.
FST Media: How will RACQ's upcoming patrol app for Google glass change the game for the motoring insurance industry? What role wills technologies such as Google cardboard and virtual reality tools play in the future of insurance?
Muhammad: In addition to providing insurance, RACQ is the motoring assistance operator in QLD, serving roughly a million customers on the roads every year. With this comes a huge safety challenge as we have little control over the environment in which our members may breakdown. Technologies like Google Glass provide a way of connecting the patrol back to base, exchange information and presenting information visually in a hands-free manner while the patroller is working on the vehicle. This is similar to many of the pilots being trialled in various fire and ambulance departments, predominantly in the US.
Similarly, RACQ campaigns and advocates on behalf of motorists, and plays a key role in driver education and safety awareness across Queensland. While virtual reality tools have originated from the gaming industry, there is a great opportunity to apply these technologies towards safety training and education and to understand driver behaviour in various situations.
FST Media: What is proving to be your most effective customer acquisition channel and why?
Muhammad: Our acquisition is still dominated by the traditional channels of call centre and retail, with online growing but not currently overtaking the other channels. With the recent launch of a completely streamlined online capability, we are seeing a surge in online conversions, but it is too soon to extrapolate that data meaningfully.
As a brand, we are quite comfortable with this, i.e. we will engage with our customers in a channel of their choice. We are known for our personal touch and our service ethos, and the channels that best allow us to showcase these values will always be the ones that have human interaction. The challenge for us in the online space is to harness the right technologies to enhance the human touch. Our new implementation has introduced click to chat, and technologies like click to video chat might be a natural extension of that capability.
FST Media: How do you encourage a culture of innovation in your team?
Muhammad: Innovation is not something that can be compartmentalised within a select portion of an organisation, but it also cannot be nurtured within a culture of collective apathy. The best way to balance these two extremes is to not only encourage the generation of ideas, but also to provide mechanisms of progressing these ideas to fruition. Often this will mean providing the headroom, priority and funding, execution processes and the right governance structure. We are using the Google Glass pilot, the patrol tablet rollout and other similar projects to establish the internal structures to be able to support innovation consistently.
Building a culture is all about getting into a virtuous cycle and the first few implementations are important, as these are as much about building internal structures and momentum as meeting external demand.
FST Media: How significant is the role of technology in your day-to-day life?
Muhammad: Is there a part of anyone's day-to-day life that is not touched by technology? It is the silent partner in practically everyone's life now because it provides the tool(s) through which we engage, communicate, travel, shop and sometimes even view the world we live in. My phone, tablet and laptop are integral parts of my day-to-day and it would be impossible to keep on top of everything without these great tools. That said, I still appreciate reading a good book in paper - swiping left is just not as gratifying as turning a real page.
FST Media: Every leader has a legacy they wish to be remembered for, what is yours?
Muhammad: I started out in the technology industry excited about solving challenging and complex technical problems – but the more time I spent in the industry the more I realised that the real challenge is harnessing the power of one's people – and the technology tends to solve itself. I love building strong teams around me, and enabling them to do their best work. I strongly believe there cannot be a better legacy for a leader.

Human intelligence is withering as computers do more, but there's a solution.
Transforming science learning through student-centered instruction that engages students in a variety of scientific practices is central to national science-teaching reform efforts. Our study employed a large-scale, randomized-cluster experimental design to compare the effects of student-centered and teacher-centered approaches on elementary school students' understanding of space-science concepts. Data included measures of student characteristics and learning and teacher characteristics and fidelity to the instructional approach. Results reveal that learning outcomes were higher for students enrolled in classrooms engaging in scientific practices through a student-centered approach; two moderators were identified. A statistical search for potential causal mechanisms for the observed outcomes uncovered two potential mediators: students' understanding of models and evidence and the self-efficacy of teachers.

Rigid curriculum, lack of resources and bad student behaviour may also be high on the list for many educators. For me, the worst enemy is bad theory. Bad theory, when accepted without challenge, can lead to bad practice. It's insidious, because bad theory that is accepted as fact without a full understanding o

But my students and I have always looked forward to the challenge, and the fun. Certainly, stoichiometry means diligent work, and for some it means frustration. But there is no reason it has to be dire, difficult, or drudgery.

Best Asian Food in North OC?
- SmokeyDoke Apr 21, 2009 01:00 PM
I'm not familiar with Asian food in North OC? Can someone give me any suggestions? I know there's many good restaurants in Garden Grove and Westminister. My only requirement is it has to be "Asian".
Well the best north OC Chinese food is in L.A. County in Rowland Heights. I'm not being facetious, merely pointing out that the large Chinese community and the dozens and dozens of authentic Chinese restaurants there sort of pre-empts the north Orange County area. You see the same thing with the proximity to Chinatown resulting in no good Chinese food in Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silver Lake and Glendale, and the slim Chinese pickings in Pasadena due to the nearness of Arcadia, San Gabriel and Monterey Park.;
re: Chandavkl
This is really not all that close to the cities he is inquiring about. If i wanted good asian, on a given night in the week, I dont plan on driving 40 minutes to eat.
re: FoodiePastor
The comment was more as to the lack of decent Chinese in the area, equating north Orange County to the area north of the 91 freeway. When we had out of town friends staying in that area who wanted to meet at a Chinese restaurant, we met them in Rowland Heights.
It can be any type of Asian restaurant, and I can interpret Asian loosely. It can be fusion too. The only requirement I was given was it had to be "Asian" but I don't think it's a hard, fast rule.
To answer your question, it can be Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai AND Viet, Malaysian, Hawaiian, maybe even Indian. I just need a good place with good food. Go crazy. More suggestions the better, because I have to plan a few dinner parties.
DU: I'd like a restaurant that can host at least 10 people. It can be high-end or low-end, as long as the food is good.
re: SmokeyDoke

re: Das Ubergeek
Great list DU! I'll add Shin Sen Gumi in Fountain Valley as well.
Surah in Fullerton/buena park for averagish k bbq. But they have a lot of nice banchan. I would still wanna go down 15min to garden grove.
Soora Restaurant
5333 Beach Blvd, Buena Park, CA 90621
Thanks for the great suggestions everyone. Sorry it's taken so long to report back, I'm not planning as many meetups due to the recession.
DU: thank you for the Cham Sut Gol recommendation. Tried it last weekend. Loved the AYCE. Their chaldol was very tasty. Wait service was friendly and remarkably clean for a KBBQ joint.
I've done some research on my own since my original post and I'd like to add some of my own recommedations.
Gyu-Kaku - Japanese BBQ. Great happy hour and AYCE prices.
Oki Doki - Japanese place that serves Chinese and Korean food. Great for pre-bar meal. Reasonable prices.
Past Memories - Cool Korean bar, serves good bar food. Reasonable prices and they open late.
Oki Doki

I like Peking Restaurant in Westminster. Northern Chinese food cooked up by Taiwanese people. Nothing spectacular, but very solid food. Decore is pretty depressing, but at least the parking lot is huge!

Case clutter has been a problem with computers forever, especially with PSU cables lying all over the place. Ultra promises to solve this problem, by allowing you to only use the cables you need. The X-Connect PSU includes other cool features as well. You can read about them in our review.
There were no issues with the installation of the PSU at all. I was curious about the cables during installation, and whether they would feel sturdy or not. These are definitely heavy duty cables, especially the 20-Pin motherboard one.
The cables fit securely in the PSU, very tight. All the cables are sturdy, but are able to be maneuvered easily. The Motherboard cable is the hardest to handle, since it's very thick. The 4-Pin cables especially, though, were very easy to work with.
Overall, I had no issues with the installation, and I am very happy with the fit of everything. Of course, there are some things that could not be connected to the X-Connect, such as the system Fans and video card (Which required a 3-Pin). But it still looks pretty snazzy.
System tested: AMD 2600+ @ 2.2GHz, 1024MB DDR400, MSI KT4V, MSI Radeon 9800 Pro (420/380), 200GB * 2 WD, 160GB WD, Lite-On 8x DVD+RW, Phillips PSC724, D-Link NIC, 4 system Fans, excluding PSU and CPU.
Now to benchmark this puppy. To get the Idle figures, I booted up my computer, and left it there for 30 minutes, then got the information. For the normal use, I surfed the web, listened to music, did all the normal everyday stuff, including working on this review. To get the max load figures, I ran the Burn-In test on all the components, with SiSoft Sandra 2005. To be more CPU intensive, I ran Prime 95 at the same time. To add to the fun, I had a 4GB DVD image copying from one hard drive to another as well. The results follow:
It's interesting to note that while the +3.3 and +5 are head on, the +12 is actually 0.60 above at max load. Even at idle and normal use it's much above +12. As we see across the three figures though, is that it's quite stable. It doesn't zip from +12 to +12.60, it starts off at 12.50. During the review, I noticed that the +12V got to +13.13, which is high.. that's almost 9% over the sense level. This could be that Motherboard Monitor is not reading it that accurately, but it's still high regardless.
So how does the X-Connect sound? It's not the quietest PSU out there, which is helped by it's dual fans. However, it's still not so loud that you wouldn't be able to sleep in the same room as it, (I know, because I do it).

English: The year in corrections
The Star published 366 corrections in 2011 but its transgressions are small compared to the sins revealed in British tabloid journalism.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
View 2 photoszoom
"Stop press!" stated the editorial published on this page on July 10. "Millions of Brits will wrap their fish in the News of the World for the last time on Sunday."
The eloquent editorial, which expressed the Toronto Star's considered opinion on the closure of Rupert Murdoch's 168-year-old tabloid in the wake of scandalous phone-hacking revelations, declared that "a stench hangs over the ineffectual British Press Complaints Commission, and over journalism generally."
One could hardly label what followed here as a stench, but certainly, as many readers were quick to tell me, something was a tad off with the picture of "Rupert Murdoch" that illustrated the editorial.
"Forgive me if am wrong, but doesn't Rupert Murdoch look like Warren Buffett in the Star editorial," asked one reader.
Indeed, due mainly to a foul-up in the Star's computerized photo filing system, an editor had inadvertently published a photo of the aging, balding billionaire, Warren Buffett, instead of the aging, balding billionaire, Rupert Murdoch.
"The picture you have depicting Rupert Murdoch is actually Warren Buffett," one reader advised. "They look similar, but Warren has more hair and less wrinkles."
Added another: "Men of the same tax bracket often cause confusion."
The Star corrected this error and all concerned had a few laughs at the contrite editor's expense as we joked about whether all old rich guys look alike.
In this business of correcting mistakes within a round-the-clock, multi-platform news organization, a little humour goes a long way. After all, this gaffe was simple human error, nothing akin to the journalistic "sins" revealed within British tabloid journalism in 2011.
On that scale, the Star's transgressions of the past year are small potatoes, hardly the stuff of the shocking headlines that rocked Britain and continue to reverberate worldwide as a public inquiry examines the "culture, practice and ethics" of the British press.
As I wrote earlier this year, I've never heard of a Canadian journalist hacking telephones or paying police — or anyone else — for information. Certainly, such practices are not part of the Star's culture, practice or ethics.
The Star does make mistakes. But we correct our errors, aiming to be transparent and accountable to readers.
The Star published 366 corrections in 2011, up just over 10 per cent from the 328 corrections published in 2010 — which was a decrease from 347 in 2009.
Still, that's less than the 425 corrections published in 2008 and substantially less than the 2007 and 2006 totals: 497 and 512.
In coming days, I will provide a full report about last year's errors to the Star's publisher and editor. From what I can see now, the biggest portion of errors (about 250) are attributable to reporters and writers making assumptions and not fully verifying facts or double-checking details. While many of these errors were the result of writing to deadline, verification is the essence of journalism and we can all do better.
In all, we published 68 corrections to remedy mistakes in names — misspelled names, wrong names, misidentifications. Given that these represent close to 20 per cent of all mistakes, it would seem another "war on errors" is in order to make clear the importance of double checking — make that triple-checking — every name we publish.
Mea culpa time. One of those corrections for a misspelled name was for my own mistake.
I didn't realize I had misspelled the first name of Yemeni journalist Khaled al-Hammadi in my Nov. 26 column until I saw it published in the newspaper as Khalid. Somehow I got this wrong, even after asking him and taking his business card. (In my own defence, I was feverish with a ghastly flu when I wrote the column but still, such excuses count little with readers.)
As the writer who made this embarrassing error, I must admit that when I opened the newspaper and saw my mistake, for a very brief moment — really, just a split second — I thought perhaps no one would notice I had spelled this name with an "i" instead of an "e".
But, as public editor responsible for corrections in the Star, I quickly told myself what I tell other journalists about the need to correct: Someone always notices.
I corrected the column online immediately, appending a note to tell readers the column had been corrected. Then, taking advantage of the immediacy of social media, I tweeted an apology to Khaled and tried to find the humour in this by tweeting about my error: "Aah, shoot me! @khaledHammadi dodges sniper's bullets to report in Yemen, I misspell his name. Corrected online, correx in paper to come.") I followed this with the correction in the paper.
This was a humiliating correction, made all the more so because the column was about Khaled receiving a press freedom award from Canadian Journalists for Free Expression. My mistake in this most basic requirement of journalism was writ large for journalists from across this country. Ouch.
Still, as most anyone who errs concurs, we learn from our mistakes: Stop press! Journalists aren't perfect. And, as always, we regret our errors and aim to do better in the new year ahead.

This free online MBSR course parallels the live eight-week course which is based on the University of Massachusetts Medical Center's MBSR program. While the absolute best way to learn MBSR is with a live, in-person class, where you have the benefit of interaction with the instructor and other classmembers, and the group support that this provides, sometimes that's just not possible.
Who this course is for
This free, web-based version of MBSR is designed to give those who would otherwise be unable to attend an MBSR course in person the opportunity to learn and practice the skills of MBSR. This material can also be helpful for those who have experienced a live class and who would like a structured review.
To get a sense of what the course is about...
This self-guided course begins with an Introduction/Orientation which is designed to give you an introduction to mindfulness and an idea of how this course is structured. For each of the eight weeks, there are videos, readings and practices which help you build a base of knowledge and experience. The Table of Contents for the MBSR Manual provides a brief outline of the MBSR course.
Most of what you will need is accessible through this web site, and there is a wealth of material here, including videos and writings by Jon Kabat-Zinn (Wherever You Go, There You Are), Pema Chodron (When Things Fall Apart), Tara Brach (Radical Acceptance), Sylvia Boorstein (Don't Just Do Something, Sit There), Sharon Salzberg (A Heart As Wide as the World), Robert Sapolsky (Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers), Marshall Rosenberg (Non-Violent Communication), and Susan Bauer-Wu (Leaves Falling Gently).
No registration required - begin whenever you're ready
Although this course is completely self-guided (there is no registration and no one will be monitoring your progress), if you successfully complete the eight weeks of practice and study, you can request a certificate of completion. This is done by submitting the seven sets of practice sheets and a one page description of what you've learned and how you will be incorporating what you learned into your life. Instructions for this are given in the materials for Week 8.
If you are ready to begin, or if you'd just like to know more about this program, go to the Introduction/Orientation.
NOTE: This online version of MBSR, including the free Guided Practices, is available to anyone, free of charge. It is provided as a service to those who are interested in mindfulness but who are unable to participate in a live MBSR course. Much of this material is drawn from the works of other teachers and writers in the spirit of making mindfulness more widely available. Our thanks to them for helping to make this free resource possible.

Thursday 27 November 2014: Mist and time
As I was walking to Waverley Station to start my journey home this evening I noticed this - the clock tower on the Balmoral Hotel , with the clock face just slightly out of focus because of the mist that was swirling round it.
It had rained during the afternoon but was slowly clearing. By the time I got to Gourock to catch the ferry to Dunoon you could see along the Clyde for miles.
