Shark or stingray? Conflicting reports on Mooloolaba injury
UPDATE 6.25PM: There are conflicting reports a man believed to have been bitten by a small shark may have been stung by a stingray barb instead.
A Department of Community Safety spokesman told The Daily at 6.20pm there were conflicting reports.
A spokesman for Surf Life Saving said they had no reports of either incident.
The 20-year-old male victim was taken to Seven Day Maroochydore Medical Centre in a stable condition.
The medical centre refused to comment on the situation.
Man bitten by shark off Mooloolaba Beach
A DIP in the ocean ended with a trip to the doctors this afternoon for a young man who was nipped on the foot by what was believed to be a shark.
A Department of Community Safety spokesman said a 20-year-old man was bitten on the left ankle by what was believed to be a small shark off Mooloolaba Beach about 2.50pm today.
"He sustained only a puncture wound," the spokesman said.
"He was taken to the Seven Day Maroochydore Medical Centre in a stable condition."
A spokesman for Surf Life Saving said they had no reports of the incident.
In September, local fisherman Tony Parker reported an alarming number of sharks off Mooloolaba Beach.
At the time he had caught six sharks in two days.
He kept two measuring between 50 and 60 cms.

Recognising Austria's "Born Global Champions"
Born Globals is the term given to companies which took an international approach very early on - usually right after the start. Thanks to their success it is hardly surprising that the 2015 Austrian Export Day in the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber focussed on the large number of small and medium sized Austrian companies that enjoy worldwide success. President of the Federal Economic Chamber, Christoph Leitl, presented 65 Austria start-ups with the title of "Born Global Champion".
Companies invited to share the limelight included the pioneer of laser-based precision measuring Crystalline Mirror Solutions , the IT provider for optimising diabetes treatment mySugr , the navigation specialist for interiors indoo.rs and the boot sale app shpock , to name just a few.
The companies recognised were founded in 2010 or later, sell innovative products or services and went international in a very early phase of development. They represent the spirit which Austria needs in order to retain its international success in the future..

UNIONDALE, N.Y., Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Tyler Toffoli finished off a three-goal third period with 1:27 to play Thursday, rallying Los Angeles to a 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders.
The comeback win came in the second contest of a four-game swing for the Islanders through New York and New Jersey. They had lost the opener of the road trip in Buffalo on Tuesday.
Casey Cizikas scored his first goal of the season and Aaron Ness had the first of his career, both coming in the second period and giving the Islanders control heading into the final stanza.
Slava Voynov started the Kings' rally 5:34 into the third and Tanner Pearson also delivered his first career goal in his second NHL game to tie it.
Toffoli produced the game-winner on a slap shot that escaped Kevin Poulin.
Ben Scrivens, getting his first action in six games, picked up the win by making 23 saves. Poulin stopped 21-of-24 shots.

Apologies for the title, but it was irresistible today, and provides a good opportunity to talk about one of the fields in the Moodle issue tracker. If you go and look at any issue there, for example MDL-30854, you can see it along side all the more common fields that most bug tracking systems have to describe issues. It is a good field, so I hope it will also become common in other bug-tracking systems. Allow me to explain why.
I don't think it is a good field all the time. When I just want to do a simple quick bug-fix, it is irritating to have another field to fill in before submitting the patch for integration. You have to think things like
- How can someone else verify that my patch fixes what was wrong?
- What else might this change have broken? How can someone quickly check that there are no obvious regressions?
and that is the whole point! Anything that makes you stop and thing about the important questions is good. Having to write it down in a few words, while taking a bit of time, forces you to think clearly. After all "We learn particularly well from the act of creating or expressing something for others to see."
The testing instructions can also help us think about other important questions. You have to describe how to test things through the Moodle interface, so
- How does this feature look in the user-interface?
- How do users interact with it?
Writing the testing instructions is also a salutary reminder that you might want to actually test the code yourself before submitting it for review. I encountered that phenomenon today, writing the testing instructions for MDL-31445. I was thinking about what might go wrong, and realised that the HTML might be invalid as a result of the change. So I went and validated, and found not only that there was a problem with the first version of the patch, which I fixed, but I also found and fixed MDL-31469.
So: The Testing instructions field. Easily worth the hassle of filling it in. Consider adding it to you own bug-tracking systems - assuming you have a process where someone independent tests every bug fix. If you don't have that ...

My fathers name is Raymond Edward Mulligan and my mothers name is Carol Smith (maiden name). My grandmother had a twin sister Dorothy and there was 18 children in their family. My grandmother was also Aboriginal. I know that my father was born in Norwa NSW and my mother in Parramatta NSW and they married in 1975. I have a brother from this marriage Shane Mulligan and a half brother Adam Shelton from my mothers second marriage. I'm trying to find out more about my Aboriginal Heritage.

Matthew West is back with a brand new album called, "All In". It features 14 new songs and one of the songs features his daughter Lula West. The album begins with the title track and it describes how we let fear run our life and we're living with regrets. Matthew West writes about how he wants God to say well done at the end of his life. He declares that he's going all in and he's committed to running his race and finishing it with everything he's got.
Another favorite song is entitled, "Mercy is a Song". This one discussed how God is able to forgive us and how he can remove our chains. This song is a praise song shouting hallelujah and about how we are redeemed by Jesus and we will have a mansion in Heaven waiting for us. I also loved how Matthew West added an amazing choir to the background vocals to give it a churchy and Heavenly feeling.
Another favorite song is called, "Amen". This one reminds me of something Andy Grammer. This one explained about how he wanted to share his story to the church and how he is a new creation in Christ. This is a very happy tune and an amazing praise and testify song about what God has saved us from.
Another favorite song is, "The Sound of a Life Changing". This one described how Matthew West first started writing songs about how he was watching Steven Curtis Chapman performing and God told him that would be him someday telling the world about God's amazing grace. The song talks about the song of life changing and hearing our dreams coming alive.
I really enjoyed the song, "Something Greater". This one talked about how Matthew West went to Nashville and he thought he was just signing a record deal. When he was in Nashville, he fell in love and got married and had kids. This song declared how there is something greater happening and we're a part of a bigger story. I loved the vocals on this track and I can hear this one making it as a single on radio.
"Jesus and You" reminded me of the vocals and style of John Mayer. This one talked about how the world is out of control and we're hanging on. This one drew a picture of seeing a lighthouse in a hurricane and how it's helping us to find our way back home. It also discussed the power of when we can hang on to our spouse and trust Jesus, and how they both forgive us for our wrongs. One of my favorite lines was when Matthew West talked about our ring on our fingers and how Jesus has scars on His hands and they both promised forever. I could see this song being played in weddings it has the slow tempo that couples would love.
This album has tons of amazing songs that listeners can relate to and connect with. If you're ready to be "All In", then download and purchase this album!
Matthew's heart behind the album:
Matthew wrote his new album All In with the goal of encouraging himself and others to get up off the sidelines of their faith and really live it out – to go all in in your time with God, all in with your family, all in with your community, and all in battling your fears that may hold you back from becoming who God made you to be. Along that same theme, Matthew will be launching a 6-week All in Challenge on his social media starting 9/18, and each week Matthew will be challenging his fans to go all in in a different part of their lives. What does it look like when a heart that knows Jesus takes a step and holds nothing back? How can we go All In in the places that mean the most?

Hot Off The Press
This story appears in the March 1997 issue of Business Start-Ups magazine. Subscribe »
Barbara Saltzman had a book. Not just any book, but one penned and illustrated by the 22-year-old son she lost to Hodgkin's disease. The book is alive with engaging characters, lively rhymes, sweet illustrations and hope for the children who read it. Before her son David's death in 1990, Saltzman vowed she'd get his book published, whatever it took.
But that was before she ran up against the New York publishing establishment. They recommended shortening the book, editing out the rhymes, and printing it on flimsy paper. Even for Saltzman, a newspaper editor by trade, the "business end" of getting published was a cold shock.
So, like a growing number of authors worldwide, Saltzman published the book herself. With the help of her husband, Joe, her older son, Michael, a $250,000 home equity loan and a loan from friends, Saltzman printed 30,000 copies of The Jester Has Lost His Jingle (The Jester Company Inc.). Since its October 1995 release, about 165,000 copies of the book have been printed.
When she isn't traveling the country on promotional junkets, Saltzman works tirelessly out of her home in Palos Verdes Estates, California. Becoming a publisher has been hard but gratifying work. "I work on this constantly," says Saltzman. "But when I see the impact the book has on kids, it's really quite tremendous."
According to Dan Poynter, founder of Santa Barbara, California-based Para Publishing and author of The Self-Publishing Manual (Para Publishing), Saltzman is in good company. Poynter estimates there are at least 53,000 publishers in the United States today. "Of those," he says, "maybe 23 are large companies; another 300 are medium-sized presses. That leaves more than 52,000 smaller publishers."
And why not? Book sales have been on the rise throughout the '90s, with estimated publishers' sales in 1996 of $18.5 billion, a 35 percent increase over 1990 sales of $13.7 billion.
More important, it's never been more feasible--or attractive--to self-publish. What began as a do-it-yourself movement in the 1980s is now a thriving, professional industry. "Ten years ago, self-publishing was not the thing for an established writer to do," says Mark Dressler, associate publisher of Small Press and Publishing Entrepreneur magazines and vice president of The Jenkins Group Inc., a Traverse City, Michigan, firm that helps small presses produce professional results. "Today, I'm working with people who were previously published by the [major houses] and didn't like it."
Title Bouts
If large press publishers were the only source of new books, consumers might face a far different selection of titles. Why? "New York publishers have begun looking at margins very differently than they have traditionally," explains Dominique Raccah, founder of Sourcebooks Inc. in Naperville, Illinois, an independent press she started as a self-publisher in 1987, and which now boasts nearly 220 titles. There's been a tremendous upheaval in the industry and an increasing emphasis on blockbuster hits, she says. "That's left a number of midlist authors without a home, which presents an exciting opportunity for [small publishers]."
The same trend spells opportunity for self-published authors. Slots in the marketplace neglected by the major publishers mean plenty of open niches for independent and self-publishers.
Self-publishing holds two additional advantages. One is control. "The big difference between major publishing houses and independents is that we keep our books in print," says Jan Nathan, executive director of the Publishers Marketing Association. "As long as a title continues to sell, we can print 2,000 copies again and again. Major houses can't afford to do this."
This leads to the second advantage of self-publishing: profitability. According to Dressler, authors can expect royalties from major publishers of 8 percent to 10 percent of sales. By contrast, it's not uncommon for marketing-savvy self-publishers to see a 50 percent return on investment.
Marketplace Of Ideas
Given the harmonic convergence of opportunity and profit potential--as well as the help of a burgeoning industry of freelance writers, editors, graphic artists, printers, publicists, distributors and packagers--it's never been easier to publish your own book.
But that doesn't mean publishing a successful book is easy. Like any business venture, launching a book involves investigating your market, creating a knockout product, and promoting the heck out of it. If you have sufficient resources, you can get help with virtually any part of the process.
But you must begin with a viable concept. Nathan urges would-be publishers to visit their local bookstores. "See what's on the shelves, and ask yourself what makes your book different," she suggests. Talking to bookstore managers, book distributors and fellow publishers will also help.
Major publishing houses rely on traditional outlets--bookstores--to sell their goods. Independent publishers, on the other hand, often use alternative marketing to boost sales and profits. Poynter, for instance, made his first book (a technical volume on parachutes) a hit by selling it to parachute stores. "It just made sense," Poynter says. "The percentage of people going into a bookstore who have an interest in parachuting is small, but 100 percent of people going into a parachuting store want to know about parachutes." Figuring out how to maximize nontraditional and direct sales--as well as the traditional bookstore and library markets--is a crucial step in any book venture.
Once you know the market exists, make sure your resources are adequate. Publishing costs vary widely depending on the nature and scope of the project. The Jester Has Lost His Jingle required massive capital to produce because of its full-color illustrations, length and large initial print run. On a more modest scale, Poynter estimates minimum printing costs on a 3,000-copy print run for a small book with no color at $5,000; figure an additional $1,700 or more for cover design.
Printing costs are only one of many expenses. At the very least, plan on hiring an editor, a cover designer and a graphic artist. You should also anticipate ample promotional costs. Psychologist David Grudermeyer, who is a year into the publication of the book he co-wrote with his psychologist wife, Rebecca, Sensible Self-Help (Willingness Works Press), suggests budgeting $50,000 to $100,000 for production and promotion.
Saltzman stresses the importance of a quality product. "This business doesn't run on sentimentality," she says. "Bookstores aren't buying this book because they sympathize with David's [personal] story. They're buying the book because they think it will sell." Nothing short of a great book can accomplish that.
The Last Word
Several options exist for self-publishers who manage to pull off a successful project. A major publishing house might wish to snap up your publishing rights--at a tidy profit to you.
Some books lend themselves to lines of related products. The Grudermeyers, for example, also publish a line of audiotaped seminars. Saltzman is marketing Jester dolls and is discussing the possibility of producing entertainment tie-ins.
Raccah launched Sourcebooks with a single self-published book.
Today, her entire focus is on
publishing the works of other authors--and quite successfully. "We have signed a tremendous number of very strong authors because we're able to give them the attention and service they want," says Raccah, who expects sales at Sourcebooks to double this year.
Raccah warns would-be publishers that this is not a business for the slight of brain. "The knowledge you need is very scattered, and it all calls for a high level of expertise," she says. This is true whether you're talking about intellectual property or distribution rights, foreign rights, movie rights, promotion, editorial, design--the list goes on and on.
Yet the effort can be more than worthwhile, both financially and emotionally. When the right combination of dynamite content, eager market and active promotion really clicks, self-publishers do more than prosper. They get the last word.

How Bill Johnson set the stage for Bode Miller
WENGEN, Switzerland >> At the Lauberhorn race on Saturday, a potential 10-strong United States team includes three men who have World Cup victories in Alpine skiing's glamor downhill discipline.
A sixth American win on Switzerland's beloved slope snaking beneath the Eiger mountain would not surprise, especially if Bode Miller got his third.
It was not always this way.
Thirty years ago, Bill Johnson changed a Europe-dominated sport's perception of American skiing.
On Jan. 15, 1984, Johnson's wild ride in Wengen delivered a first U.S. men's downhill victory in the 18th World Cup season. All 43 previous American wins were in slower, technical events.
That the brash 23-year-old achieved this in his debut down the course, and after making a spectacular recovery on the fastest straight, was even more remarkable.
"Bill was cocky, he was very, like, arrogant," Miller told the Associated Press in Wengen this week.
"No one had won before and ski racing was considered a European sport. You have to be a little bit cocky, I think, to come in and think you can win."
Johnson's self-confidence is key to his place in Alpine skiing.
One month after Wengen at the Sarajevo Olympics, he further upset the Austrian and Swiss favorites by boasting they should just give him the downhill gold medal.
"That blows my mind," Steven Nyman, a two-time World Cup downhill winner, said of Johnson's style. "He went into some meeting or bar, something like that where everybody was, and he goes in and says 'I'm going to kick all of your (behinds) tomorrow.' And everyone was like 'Man, this guy is crazy.'
"And he went out and did it. Yeah, he was cocky and over the top, but he followed it through," Nyman said.
Again, Johnson blazed the trail for others to follow.
No American had won an Olympic men's downhill medal of any kind before 1984. (Not including Robert Redford's victory at the 1968 Grenoble Winter Games in the movie 'Downhill Racer', which filmed extensively in Wengen.)
Nyman credits Johnson for helping to create a tradition continued by Tommy Moe getting downhill gold at the 1994 Lillehammer Olympics.
"After that, he won the Olympics and Tommy won the Olympics and we have a rich heritage after that. We have the respect," Nyman said.
That respect was absent before Wengen - and only grudgingly given after by Johnson's rivals, recalls veteran Lauberhorn race president Viktor Gertsch.
"They said 'Who is this guy, Bill Johnson?' The other top racers did not have too much respect for him," Gertsch told the AP on Thursday.
Gertsch, retiring from his position after 44 years, smiles at the memory of Johnson's wild win. When his left ski unexpectedly caught an edge, Johnson's feet splayed and limbs flailed, then he clicked his ankles together and launched into the air, going briefly off course.
"He almost fell there before crossing the bridge to the entrance of the finish S bend," Gertsch recalled. "He was in trouble, he was on one ski, outside, almost in the deep snow."
Johnson's racing instincts earned him affectionate praise from current U.S. racer Marco Sullivan as "the original American downhill badass."
"Now that I look back on the history and all I have heard about him since, he was kind of an outlaw," said Sullivan, another World Cup winner who placed third at Wengen in 2009. "He just loved skiing, loved skiing fast and didn't care who he (annoyed) in the process."
Johnson added two more World Cup victories in March 1984, laying foundations for what is now a 26-win tally in men's downhill for the Americans, and status as one of the established powers.
"People maybe thought he was a good racer but he wasn't a good ambassador for the U.S," said Miller, who has eight of those downhill titles, and added Olympic bronze at Vancouver four years ago.
Johnson's golden second half of the 1984 Olympics season would be a brief peak. He never won again on the World Cup circuit and did not return after 1986.
His ill-fated attempted comeback ahead of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics ended in a serious crash, and his health declined further due to a stroke. Last July, he recovered from a life-threatening infection to return to an assisted living facility in Oregon.
Gertsch fondly remembers last meeting Johnson in 2005, when Lauberhorn winners were invited back for a 75th anniversary celebration.
Despite his injuries, Johnson joined others in an improvised golf game down the ski trail, including whacking drives off the signature Hundschopf cliff face jump.
"He was quite happy and he could remember things," said Gertsch, who is also protective and mindful of Wengen's image worldwide.
"I am in tourism and that is the best thing that could happen to us, when we are having an American winner on the podium."

How to Choose a Good Jam
What I Learned Judging Preserves For the Good Food Awards
We're eagerly anticipating the announcement of the winners at tonight's Good Food Awards (and to try all the exceptional winning products). In the meantime, here's an inside look at the judging process, as well as a few jam tasting tips.
I hold onto the belief that sugar makes me sweet, and have long held a soft spot in my heart for jams, jellies, and fruit preserves. So, when I was invited to help judge the preserves category for this year's Good Food Awards, I signed up with no reservations.
As one of 28 judges for the preserves category, I was assigned to the western US states, and along with three other judges blind tasted more than 30 varieties of preserves from this bountiful region, including the usual suspects (jams, jellies, marmalade, and preserves) as well as vinegars, verjus, and even a dried fruit bar or two. And while I can't share the winners with you 'til after tonight — I don't even know who won our category as it was a blind tasting — I gleaned a few tips and tricks for analyzing what makes a truly ribbon-worthy preserve.
Keep reading for the (unofficial) guidelines that I've learned to use to distinguish between a preserve that's good and one that's great.
- Top-line flavor balance. To make a canned preserve that keeps, one must add in a certain amount of sugar, as it acts as a preservative. That said, a preserve's flavor should go beyond one-note sweet. Many preserves makers add in citrus juice (citric acid in some cases) or a pinch of salt to help balance flavors, which can pose a conundrum of its own. An exceptional preserve should be balanced enough for neither the sweetness nor its acidity to be the top-line flavor (unless it's a citrus preserve or marmalade). Many contenders were docked for either being too sweet, tart, or bitter.
- Proper consistency. This varies from category to category, but a preserve should neither be too firm nor too runny. Those that we tasted ran the gamut of textures, and we considered each within its product designation, with some losing points for having a texture similar to gelatin or a consistency so runny that it pooled off of the tasting spoon.
- Degree of doneness. We were lucky to have veteran preserves maker Stephanie McClenny of Confituras in our judging pod; she could explain in detail what went wrong with a preserve that wasn't up to snuff. Aside from the above criteria, some preserves were grainy, overly dark, or too thin. Stephanie explained that these are all signs of a preserve that was either over- (the first two criteria) or undercooked (the last). Generally, the best preserves tasted like perfectly ripe, lightly sweetened versions of the fruit involved.
- Cohesive flavor. Some preserves we tasted were as simple as a combination of fruit, sugar, and nothing else, whereas others had more esoteric flavor combinations. While many of these floral, herbal, spicy, alcoholic, or citrus additions were eye-opening, other times they overpowered the fruit, making for a preserve that only tasted of its secondary flavors, doing little to enhance the fruit's natural beauty.
For a fun exercise, gather together all of the preserves in your kitchen — better yet, combine forces with a foodie friend! — and taste each plain, keeping the above criteria in mind. You might be surprised to find what comes to light.

Reds bring up LHP Jeff Francis to start vs Padres
BY foxsports • May 15, 2014
CINCINNATI (AP) -- The Reds brought up left-hander Jeff Francis from Triple-A Louisville to start the second game of their makeup doubleheader against the San Diego Padres on Thursday.
Francis signed a minor league deal in January after the Rockies let him go. He was 3-5 with a 6.27 ERA in 12 starts and 11 relief appearances for Colorado last season.
The Reds also optioned right-handed reliever Nick Christiani to Louisville and moved right-handed starter Mat Latos to the 60-day disabled list to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Francis. The move won't affect Latos' eligibility to return because he's been on the DL since he had knee surgery during spring training. The Reds hope to have Latos back by early June.

Roster decisions loom for Red Sox
DENVER -- As these final five games unfold, the Red Sox will have some things to think about when it comes to the American League Division Series roster.
Assuming the club goes with 11 pitchers, that would leave room for five bench players.
Four of them are all but certain in Jonny Gomes, David Ross, Mike Carp and Xander Bogaerts. The fifth position player spot would seem to be between Quintin Berry, John McDonald and Jackie Bradley Jr.
Berry offers a pure stolen-base threat. Bradley has some speed, and he also brings a very strong glove in the outfield. McDonald, who is probably the underdog among the three, can play all over the infield.
"That's part of the greater discussions that we have as we kind of walk through any potential moves, any potential pinch-hit situations," said Farrell. "Who's available to give us further options if we choose to go to someone in the fifth or sixth inning? Do we have someone later on to hold back and cover us positionally? Those are all the conversations that are starting right now."
Then there is the bullpen, where there are probably seven spots available. Koji Uehara, Junichi Tazawa, Craig Breslow, Brandon Workman and Ryan Dempster seem to be definites.
Then there are the bubble candidates, which include four lefties -- Matt Thornton, Felix Doubront, Franklin Morales and Drake Britton.

The long-rumored sale of Microsoft's Atlas online advertising platform to Facebook is scheduled to close tomorrow, according to AdAge.
The trade publication reported on its Web site that "two people briefed on the plans" said the companies will likely announce the deal tomorrow, though it acknowledged some chance for delay.
Microsoft and Facebook both declined to comment on the report.
Microsoft acquired Atlas as part of its $6 billion acquisition of aQuantive in 2007. The software giant wrote off most of the costs of that deal last July. And it's reportedly been trying to sell Atlas for several months, including talks last year with AppNexus, a New York-based ad company.
Rumors of a deal with Facebook surfaced late last year. For the social-networking giant, the deal would give it a way to compete with Google's DoubleClick without having to cobble together its own service.
Updated at 1:05 p.m. PT with Facebook's declining to comment on the report.

"Don't write yourself into a corner," Dr. Jeffrey Roach, chief economist and chair of the investment committee at Horizon Investments, told attendees at the ASPPA 401(k) Summit, encouraging them to write a flexible investment policy statement to manage money succesfully through a volatile market.
Advisors need to address several challenges including inflation, sovereign defaults, market crashes, dramatic regulatory changes and company-specific catastrophes. It is important for advisors to understand that the efficient frontier, the tradeoff between risk and return, may not be efficient for long, Roach said.
Rebalancing used to be a simple, tech-driven process, Roach said, but it's not as easy as you think. Rebalancing may add risk to advisors' overall process. "Rebalance only when there is a change to the investment thesis," Roach encouraged attendees.
Furthermore, risk is not as easy to measure as advisors may believe, Roach said. Black swans are a perfect example; 99.9% of the time you'll expect a particular outcome, but a system shock that results in a black swan can't be measured.
Before the market collapse in 2008, the Federal Reserve used to keep excess reserves at about $2 billion, Roach said. Following the collapse, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke agreed to pay banks 1% for every dollar held in the national reserve. As a result, banks limited lending and today, there is close to $2 trillion.
"The Fed balance sheet fundamentally shifted," Roach said. "In 2009, the Fed shifted from policymakers to investment managers. The Fed has been buying debt, but eventually it will have to sell it."
Maiden Lane, the firm established by the Fed to unwind toxic assets purchased after the market crash, was able to sell off AIG assets fairly successfully, he said, but there is still risk in trying to unload those assets.
Deficits will improve with pro-growth policies, Roach said, not tax reform. He was confident that the U.S. would not see a double-dip recession. The only such event happened in 1980-1981, when the market fell in 1980 and dropped into recession again 12 months later.
One tax strategy that may help improve growth is to implement a repatriated earnings plan. By providing large companies that have overseas operations with an incentive to keep earnings in the United States, Roach said, the government could keep more cash here.

The game seems to be very slow for me. Is there anything I can do to speed it up?
Checking the 'Remember Me' box can help, as does allowing cookies.
The game is optimized for Fire Fox, IE has a reputation of having a VERY slow implementation of java script. Also small amounts of RAM can make a big difference as the most of the game takes place on your machine. You can turn off the animations in your browsers tools-preferences section, which will speed the game somewhat at the cost of a loss of the cool animations.
I've played through a bit on my first city and now I want to start again. (My goblin 'hoards' aren't working out they way I'd planned ;-). Is there a way to start a new game off? I'm stuck in the middle of a battle at the moment...
Well, Pretty much you have to finish the battle. But IF you really are going to restart, probably the quickest way is to bail all your troops to the edge of the screen and withdraw. Barring that (if a unit is surrounded), commit suicide with them and let the enemy kill them off without fighting back. When you get ready to restart be sure to check out the New Players Guide before starting.
The date displayed next to the weather does not update for me except after battle.
I think you're seeing the discrepancy between the world date, which advances by weeks, and the region clock, which advances by hours up through the week.
Do scouts have a function and why do i never get any (it says +20) and whats the use of spies?
Scouts are used on the World screen to find out information about other cities. In the very near future, scouts will affect the distance you can "see" things on the region map. Spies are used the same way, but for spying on other cities.
What is city health and why does it decline? How do you make it increase ?
Health is almost out of your control. Keep your city morale up, and don't overwork your people.
It would be nice to be able to clear land for development rather than just getting the message 'you can't build here'.
Try using "DELETE" (the red X) on the hex 1st and then build your item.
The problem is, I haven't actually placed my city on the region map yet, but I cant seem to find a way to undo my selection on the main map. so I cant move my city up one region
You should be able to go back to the World screen to pick a new hex. But, if not, deleting your choices so you can restart would take only a minute.
I just checked. According to the City Tab, I have 171 individuals in my militia yet going into battle I have 5 militia units.
Your militia is rounded up when it is generated for a battle. Dwarves have 40 per unit, so since your militia is over 160, it will be rounded up to 5 units of 40 -- 200 militia.
After my first combat, my Cavalry unit is pretty beat up. But how do you reinforce a unit? I've only been able to find the create new unit even after looking through the help.
In the Equip list, there is a "Number" text box, which can be changed (to larger values). This is the equivalent of Reinforce/Disband.
Does AI on or off actually do anything? In the battles I've fought I sometimes have no control over my units. If I want to give them orders myself what should I choose?
Your militia starts with AI On, all the rest with AI Off. If you want to manage your militia, turn their AI Off.
Does the structure in the last line of development screen (war college, academy and so on) have a use in the game? and if yes what??
These increase the maximum level of your henchmen and units. Henchmen levels are 1/5 main char level, plus 4. With an Educational Development, you get another +4 for the related henchmen.
Is there is a limit and a cost to conscript??
There is no limit to the number you can conscript however conscripting costs your city Morale and Loyalty.
Thinking I might cop all the XP for my main character, after killing off all the enemy (giants) and healing everybody up, I withdrew everybody but my main character. Imagine my dismay to fail to defend, and only get 21 mil STILL distributed amongst ALL my units. -2.3 to my win/loss and hits to morale and loyalty.
Withdrawn units count against you (as defeated) the same way they do for the enemy.
If a unit or henchman is level maxed do the points he earns in a battle get distributed to those who can take them or are they wasted?
The experience points are divided the same, whether the unit is maxed out or not.
How are experience points allocated?
The actual experience allotment is the bonus squared times the total experience of the enemy, divided by 2500. That is adjusted by experience bonus, and divided up between characters and units based on level, with your main character getting 10 shares per level, henchmen 5 shares per level and units 1 share per soldier per level. The experience is calculated after the casualties are assessed.

By RICH FOLEY
Unlike some people who go back to visit the home where they grew up, even buying it and moving back into their old room in a few cases, that option isn't available to me. But now I've got a chance to do something even cooler, if I can just convince an investor as to the soundness of my business plan.
The home where I lived from birth until 1983 was torn down several years ago, leaving only three apartments before my current one to feel nostalgic for. And I can't say I have any desire to move back to any of them. But the idea of becoming the owner of the hospital where I was born seems almost like an offer I can't refuse, although many others have.
I recently noticed that the Addison Community Hospital was on the list of tax-delinquent properties being offered for auction by the Lenawee County Treasurer. Minimum bid is $129,646 for the entire complex, making it the most expensive property on the list. But it's hard to put a price on family history.
All three of my siblings were born there, and during the waning days of the Eisenhower administration, I made it four. All of us were delivered by Dr. Bowers Growt, a local legend whose deliveries had to number well into the thousands. Heck, he was there so long, it might have been tens of thousands. I'm sure that delivering me would have to rank as one of his lesser achievements.
Later, both of my parents died there, in 1979 and 1982, respectively, making it 30 years since I've been inside, although I drive by the property fairly often. It closed as a regular hospital back in the early 1990s if I remember correctly, then housed a clinic specializing in bariatric surgery for a while before closing for good ten years ago, give or take.
Second highest starting bid in the auction is for a home right across U.S. 127 from the hospital. That would be pretty convenient, but if I buy the hospital, why not live there? That's just one of the ideas I've been thinking about.
My 1972 Plymouth Duster and later, my 1979 Ford Mustang, spent a lot of time in the visitors parking lot during my parents illnesses. As owner of the property, my first order of business will be to commandeer Dr. Growt's old parking space for my Buick. If he was still with us, I'd let him keep it.
Next would be to figure out if there's any financially feasible way of reopening as a hospital. Not only would it be good for the area, I have another motive at work.
Do you think I could talk President Obama into dropping the requirement that I purchase health insurance if I owned my own hospital? The idea makes sense to me. Of course, if he loses in November, I won't have to worry about it.
Instead, I could call President-elect Romney and see if he'd like to become an investor in my other idea. Instead of buying state-of-the-art hospital equipment and paying for the finest doctors, why not outfit the building with slightly older, but much more affordable equipment and rent out the facility for movies and television productions?
Every television season seems to have at least one new medical series with this fall being no exception. Having an unused hospital ready for a television or movie producer to take over seems like a winner.
Plus, since Addison is out in the country, other costs should be much lower than if production were in Hollywood, not to mention a ready supply of out-of-work residents who would probably be thrilled to work for union scale wages.
There's always the chance that Hollywood might pass on this idea, so I have two more back-up plans ready, just in case the others don't work. First, the Addison Mini-Mall. Or, Hospital Apartments. There has to be at least one idea some investor would like.
Unfortunately, the Lenawee County Treasurer's auction is coming up fast and I don't know if I can get all my plans put together in time to round up investors and make a bid. The auction will be held on Tuesday, September 18, a few days after I'm writing this, but the day before most of you will read it, or ignore it as the case may be.
If I do manage to pull this off and buy the hospital, you'll be able to tell by the inevitable headline in the newspaper: "Crackpot columnist buys Addison Hospital; becomes first patient in newly opened psychiatric ward."

Particularly interesting is the remark about the numeric IDs which identify the emails in the zipfile. The headers of the emails contain the date and time on which they were sent. If I understand the comment correctly, the numeric IDs are Unix timestamps for those sending times, but moved by 4 or 5 hours from UK to eastern US time. This suggests that the emails were given their current identifiers on a computer in North America, or one that was running on North American time - which in turn suggests a hack rather than a leak.
It references a rather more in-depth discussion at Climate Audit, of which the most pertinant comment seems to be:
So, if I understand this. Each CRU email is named (given a numeric label, like "0826209667" in the above) based on the date/time it is sent. If you know UNIX you can translate the label back into the date. That's what the "->" indicates; the label 0826209667 = 7/03/1996 14:41:07. But if you match that to the date line you see they are off by 4/5 hours, which suggests that--given the emails were taken from a U.K. server--they passed through a computer in the Eastern U.S.
Which would indicate that the hack was indeed a hack and not a leak.
PS. Or, as TiGuy points out, they might have gone through a computer in Eastern Canada.
