Brooklyn Nets Haven t Spent Enough Yet?
 +
Before the start of a new NBA season, every team would like their fan base to believe that they are about to witness something historic. In the case of the Brooklyn Nets, this year is absolutely guaranteed to be historic. If nothing else,[http://www.planet-archeage.de/aa-kompendium/index.php?title=Benutzer:Rubyanne#Watch_Now-_Mike_Tyson_Boxing_Promoter Watch Now- Mike Tyson Boxing Promoter], the Nets will field the most expensive team in NBA history, and it won t even be remotely close. As things stand today, the Nets will look forward to a luxury tax bill in the neighborhood of $80 million, and that s on top of the $102.2 million they will pay out to their players.
 +
That s an awful lot of money to spend on a team that might only be the fourth-best team in the Eastern Conference.
 +
The top dog in the East is, of course, the defending champion Miami HEAT, followed closely by the conference finalist Indiana Pacers. With Danny Granger healthy and back in the lineup, Indiana will be even better,[http://www.nikenflonlinestore.com/nfl-jerseys-c-598 Cheap nfl jerseys USA], perhaps even ready to challenge Miami for a spot in the Finals. They are certainly better than the Nets. Right behind Indiana is expected to be the Chicago Bulls since they will have Derrick Rose healthy and are ready to make up for lost time. Rose was the league MVP before injuries set him back for two seasons and if he returns to form or is even better, the Bulls will absolutely be better than the Nets. There s even a possibility that the cross-town New York Knicks could make it hard for the Nets to grab home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
 +
What? You re crazy, Bill. The Nets are easily a top-four team in the East with all those great players added to the roster.
 +
Yes, I can already hear you scrolling down to type some version of the above message in the comments section. It s OK. Go ahead and post that comment and then come back for my explanation. The rest of us will wait.
 +
 +
Welcome back!
 +
Last season the Nets, with Joe Johnson, Deron Williams and Brook Lopez as the anchors, finished with 49 wins and were in a virtual tie with the third-seeded Pacers, who played one less game thanks to a cancellation due to the Boston Marathon bombing. It s reasonable to expect them to win at least the same number of games with Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry and Andrei Kirilenko now in the mix, isn t it? Certainly. The issue isn t whether or not the Nets will be better, it s whether or not they will improve as much as their peers at the top of the East will. Older, slower vets won t help Brooklyn compete with the ever-improving Pacers and Bulls, and the HEAT should once again be in a class by themselves.
 +
Most of all, however, we have to consider the clutch factor, or the number of games Brooklyn is likely to win when the final outcome is decided by the slimmest of margins.
 +
Joe Johnson would seem to be Brooklyn s closer if we consider his $21.5 million price tag. Anyone making that kind of money certainly should be a closer,[http://www.cnyanhui.com/plus/view.php?aid=207792 Manny Pacquiao’s Ankle Injury is Music to Brandon], but historically Johnson has never reliably filled that role. Under his guidance the Atlanta Hawks were never better than a second-round team, and even with his impressive supporting cast in Brooklyn he was victim of a first-round exit at the hands of a battered and bruised Bulls team last postseason. Last season, in games decided in the final five minutes, Johnson wasn t even in the top 25 clutch players in the NBA. He ranked 31st,[http://www.nikenflonlinestore.com/ New Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap], behind players like Lance Stephenson, Patrick Beverley and Marco Belinelli. If the Nets are going to improve, it won t be on the back of Johnson.
 +
Deron Williams might be expected to be next in line, as he is widely regarded as one of the top point guards in the NBA. Some would even argue that he is the best, though that argument doesn t hold up well after last year s colossal collapse. Despite being one of the most sought-after free agents in last summer s class, Williams, too, struggled to deliver when his team needed him most. He ranked 56th overall in clutch delivery, right behind Chris Andersen and Cory Joseph.
 +
Brook Lopez was actually Brooklyn s top clutch performer last season, but despite his 12th-best ranking the Nets still lost 67 percent of their games that were decided in the final five minutes.
 +
So who steps up to help the Nets ascend to the heights of the Eastern Conference? Paul Pierce is the knee-jerk response, but that s based on his exploits during the Boston Celtics NBA Finals runs. Pierce has not been that player over the last two seasons, and ranked 44th last season, two places behind Kevin Garnett. Garnett is hardly that player, and the word out of Brooklyn is that he won t play nearly as big a role for the Nets as the team looks to save him for the playoffs.
 +
Three minutes left, Nets down five who wins the game for them?
 +
Contenders have an answer to that question, and four other Eastern Conference teams have at least one sure-fire answer. For Miami it s LeBron James and Dwyane Wade; for Indiana it s Paul George and Danny Granger; for Chicago it s Derrick Rose and a nice combination of Luol Deng and Joakim Noah. The Knicks even have a better answer, with Carmelo Anthony ranking as the seventh-best clutch player in the NBA.
 +
That s $102.2 million in payroll, some $80 million in tax and still no one to reliably deliver when the Nets need a basket in crunch time?
 +
It seems they haven t spent enough money just yet.</html>

== Nicasio’s Gem Helps Rockies Rip Giants  CBS Den ==
 +
 +
<html>DENVER (AP) ?Todd Helton homered to move within three hits of 2,500, and the Colorado Rockies beat the San Francisco Giants 6-1 on Monday night.
 +
Juan Nicasio tossed six shutout innings and added an RBI single,[http://www.nikenfljerseyssupply.com/ cheap nfl jerseys], and Charlie Blackmon also homered for the Rockies.
 +
Buster Posey singled and reached base for the 49th straight game against Colorado.
 +
The Rockies began a nine-game, 10-day homestand with a strong performance against lefty Barry Zito (4-10), who has struggled away from home this season. His numbers didn t improve in his short outing at Coors Field.
 +
Zito allowed five runs and nine hits and struck out one in four innings in his second start since being put back into the rotation. He is 0-8 with a 9.61 ERA on the road this season.
 +
He worked out of trouble in the first inning before the Rockies got to him in the second.
 +
Nolan Arenado led off with a bloop single one of his three hits and Helton crushed a 1-1 curveball into the Rockies bullpen to give Colorado a 2-0 lead. It was Helton s ninth homer of the season and the 363rd of his 17-year career.
 +
Blackmon,[http://www.nikenfljerseyssupply.com/ NFL jerseys outlet], who entered the game in the second inning for Dexter Fowler,[http://www.soeren-kaiser.de/mediawiki-1.19.0/index.php?title=Benutzer:Rubyanne#MPD_officer_taken_to_hospital_after_he_was_beaten_by_suspect MPD officer taken to hospital after he was beaten by suspect], led off the third with his fourth homer to give the Rockies a 3-0 lead. Colorado tacked on two more runs in the fourth on a bases-loaded single by Nicasio and a ground out by Blackmon.
 +
The Giants got a scare when right fielder Hunter Pence crashed into the wall trying to track down Michael Cuddyer s triple in the first inning. Pence lay on the warning track before San Francisco s trainers came out to tend to him. After a brief examination he stayed in the game.
 +
Pence and the Giants couldn t do much against Nicasio (8-6), who tied a season high with nine strikeouts and allowed four hits. He worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning and pitched around two hit-batters before leaving after 95 pitches.
 +
Nicasio finished his night by striking out Brandon Crawford with runners on first and third to end the sixth.
 +
The Giants spoiled the shutout attempt on Joaquin Arias two-out RBI double off Jeff Francis in the ninth.
 +
NOTES: Fowler left with a left lateral knee bruise. He is day to day. The outfield sprinklers came on briefly while the Giants were in the field in the fourth inning. Colorado SS Troy Tulowitzki (sore oblique) sat out his second straight game. He is expected to be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Rockies RHP Tyler Chatwood (elbow) will make a rehab start with Triple-A Colorado Springs on Tuesday. He is scheduled to throw 75 pitches and could be back in the rotation this weekend. Giants LHP Jeremy Affeldt (left groin strain) threw a bullpen session in Arizona on Monday. He next will go on a rehab assignment. San Francisco OF Andres Torres (left Achilles strain) flew to North Carolina to see a specialist. Giants RHP Yusmeiro Petit (0-0) will face Colorado RHP Chad Bettis (0-2) on Tuesday night.

== Hanson poses a real threat to Sinodinos cabinet hopes ==
 +
 +
<html>In 2004,wholesale NFL Jerseys, when Ms Hanson ran for the Senate in Queensland, she won 4.5 per cent of the vote. Trial runs by Fairfax Media using ABC election analyst Anthony Green's online Senate calculator suggest that if she wins just half of that this time, 2.25 per cent, she is on track to take Senator Sinodinos' seat.
 +
Advertisement
 +
If so, it would be a big blow to a Coalition government. Senator Sinodinos, a former senior Treasury economist, was long-time chief of staff to then prime minister John Howard,Cowboys Roster Cuts- What Should Dallas Do With Their Remain,NFL jerseys outlet, and is one of the most widely respected figures on either side.
 +
While he has been a senator for only two years, Opposition Leader Tony Abbott reportedly wants him to be finance minister if the Coalition wins.
 +
But as the most junior of the Coalition's NSW senators, he was given the vulnerable third place on its Senate ticket. The Coalition usually wins three seats with ease, but this time it looks uncertain.
 +
With few preferences going his way, the Coalition will need to lift its vote in an increasingly crowded Senate field - in which virtually all its traditional allies are directing preferences to Ms Hanson.
 +
All forecasts of Senate outcomes are unreliable. In NSW, 110 candidates are standing for 44 parties or as independents. The order in which they are eliminated could decide who wins the final seat.
 +
But in 2010, 29 micro-parties won 14 per cent of the vote between them. This time there will be 41 of them, and disillusioned Labor supporters could swell their collective vote to 20 per cent - easily enough for a Senate quota.
 +
Their tickets are already locked in, and 99 per cent of voters are expected to follow them by voting ''1'' in the party box above the line.
 +
The Coalition, Labor, Greens and most left-of-centre groups put Ms Hanson last or almost last on their preferences. But most micro-parties are swapping preferences tightly with each other before giving any preferences to the big three.
 +
Ms Hanson could be the beneficiary. If name recognition gets her just 2 per cent of the vote, she will be one of the last ones standing, and could reap hundreds of thousands of preferences from votes cast for other parties.
 +
But other micro-parties also have a chance of taking one of the final seats. They include the Liberal Democrats, who won first place on the Senate paper, the Sex Party, the Shooters and Fishers, and even the Stable Population Party.
 +
The Coalition and Labor are each certain to win at least two seats, with the Greens and Labor, despite their falling votes, likely to fight out the final seat
 +
The Reverend Fred Nile's Christian Democrats, a long-time Coalition ally, put Ms Hanson 12th on its preference ticket, Senator Sinodinos 37th. The Shooters and Fishers have Ms Hanson at 10, Senator Sinodinos 88. The DLP, Katter's Australian Party, Liberal Democrats, Sex Party and Family First are also preferencing the One Nation leader before the Coalition's rising star.
 +
Senator Sinodinos declined to comment to Fairfax Media on his chances.</html>

== More Legal Aid support for Canberra's youth ==
 +
 +
<html>ACT Legal Aid's Youth Law Centre has doubled its opening hours in an effort to better offer legal information to young people.
 +
It has also produced a new edition of its legal handbook and is using social media to make young people aware of its services.
 +
Attorney-General Simon Corbell said the project was about improving young people's access to justice.
 +
''Tenancy problems,[http://www.nikenfljerseyssupply.com/ cheap nike nfl jerseys], credit and financial problems, those types of issues tend to predominate in terms of the issues young people raise,'' he said.''That's what they're experiencing,[http://www.nikenfljerseyssupply.com/ cheap nfl jerseys], they're making the transition from home into rental accommodation, they're entering into legal contracts around finance or credit, all those types of things tend to bring with them some level of legal problems from time to time.''
 +

 +
The centre's services are provided through pro bono support from law firms and paralegal support from ANU law undergraduates.
 +
The centre is aimed at people aged 18 to 24, with support too for those younger than that. Among services, it has developed a mobile phone application called Below the Belt: Sex, Selfies, Cyberbullying, to be launched soon.
 +
''This is a new and challenging area of the law around the use of social media and problems such as cyber bullying and so on,[http://registration.volley.ee/help/index.php?title=Kasutaja:Rubyanne#George_Hill_makes_positive_impact_during_Haiti_visit George Hill makes positive impact during Haiti visit], and I think it is important that legal aid services respond to this explosion of online and social media and mobile technology,'' Mr Corbell said.</html>

== The ice in their veins ==
 +
 +
<html>Here, and in other parts of country Victoria, there are fears about methamphetamine and the damage the highly addictive drug is doing to communities that have traditionally been among the state's most conservative.
 +
Methamphetamine is not a new drug, but all the evidence points to the fact that its use across Victoria is rising sharply and the producers and pushers are making serious money.
 +
According to the recent figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australians are spending more than $1.7 billion a year on amphetamines.
 +
For the past 12 months newspapers in Geelong, Bendigo, Horsham, Mildura, Morwell and Warrnambool have featured reports of court appearances by ice users who cannot remember doing 150km/h in a 60km/h zone, holding a knife to their mother's throat or stealing from work colleagues.
 +
"Country Victoria has never seen anything like this," says Daryl Clifton, the police commander in central Victoria.
 +
Over the past year, armed robberies in Clifton's region have quadrupled, with most found to be ice-related. A four-month drug operation in the area resulted in the arrests of several young people who had never before been in trouble with police.
 +
Brendan Scale, a co-ordinator with the Wimmera Drug Action Taskforce, says a member of one of the most conservative farming communities in Victoria's west recently told him that "you would be gobsmacked by how far ice is reaching into the remotest communities''.
 +
Why is country Victoria in the grip of this ice epidemic? Long-time residents of small country towns believe cheap housing and a negligible police presence is attracting manufacturers and dealers.
 +
In the Mallee township of Yaapeet, police uncovered a meth lab in the old post office in March. The identities of those running the lab remain unknown, since the person paying the rates used a false name, suggesting the involvement of organised crime.
 +
Methamphetamine is an addictive stimulant that alters the chemical composition of a user's brain, triggering sleeplessness, euphoria, paranoia and hostility. Costing about $100 for a point, or one tenth, of a gram, ice can be smoked, snorted, injected or ingested, and has become socially acceptable across a variety of socio-economic and age groups.
 +
Here's how a contributor to an Australian online forum last week described how ice made him feel: "Smoking meth feels like having my head blown off then have metamorphic shift into an invincible god. The stimulation and euphoric feelings are very strong; it can be frightening. Meth doesn't make you want to cuddle everyone, it's more likely you'd want to f--- every woman in sight.''
 +
It is reactions like this that have left some of Victoria's top police officers extremely worried about methamphetamine use and its effects on the community. Ice has been linked to a host of murders, rapes, assaults and robberies. It is getting people with no criminal history into serious strife.
 +
"It's probably one of the most harmful substances we've come across in recent years in terms of impact on community and it's really challenging us,'' says police assistant commissioner Steve Fontana. ''It's not just the police, it's emergency services, the hospital system. People are off their heads on this stuff, they're violent, aggressive and really hard to control.''
 +
Last year, Dean was trying to deal with breaking up with his girlfriend when a friend introduced him to ice. A highly addictive drug, he was soon hooked and would go days, sometimes weeks, without sleeping or eating. He was angry, anxious and would sometimes drive for hours while high as a kite.
 +
"I lost all care and hope and everything. You feel like everyone's against you even when they're not," he says.
 +
Dean was a heavy user of ice for several months in 2012. His family did not know what to do. Was there any way out of this?
 +
Melissa was driving her car to nowhere in particular one day when she just burst into tears. It was a turning point.
 +
She ended up driving to a health service in a regional city some distance from her farm. There she spoke to a drug counsellor she had never met and the months of anguish flooded out.
 +
"From then on it got a bit easier,'' Melissa says. ''You can't talk to anyone here. Not even family, no one gets it.
 +
"You think of drugs and druggies, but this is my son, not some bloke on the street shooting up in an alley, and it was really hard to find someone for us just to bounce off."
 +
Since then, with counselling and the support of his family, Dean has been able to get off, and stay off, methamphetamine. Even so, he still has bad days and is nagged by an underlying depression.
 +
"I still find it hard,'' he says. ''I have my days where I think what the f--- am I doing? I've still got problems to deal with. But I think if you haven't got a good family you've got no chance of getting out of this."
 +
Dean is not alone. Methamphetamine is being pushed heavily into some of Victoria's most vulnerable communities where many users do not have the resources or family support that have helped people like him.
 +
In Mildura, a six-month campaign has just been launched to reach out to the region's youth to educate them about ice. Of particular concern is targeting of the local Koori community by dealers. Anecdotal reports have linked recent youth suicides to ice.
 +
The Murray River city campaign is being led by the local council, police, health services and Aboriginal support agencies. Such groups are also being brought together in cities and towns across the state, with Bendigo police, health services and other agencies holding a forum next month to address ice use in their community.
 +
Raelene Stephens, nurse unit manager of the Mildura District Aboriginal Service's alcohol and other drugs program says ice use has reached epidemic proportions over the past two years, with children as young as 12 being exposed to the drug.
 +
She says dealers have been targeting Aboriginal youths who have an income through jobs in food or hospitality. They are sold large amounts of ice in the knowledge they will rack up large debts. "Then they come after the families for payment," Stephens says.
 +
Victoria's new Commissioner for Aboriginal Children and Youth, Andrew Jackomos, warned in July that ice use was reaching a crisis point. He says various Koori groups comprising senior indigenous community leaders want the Napthine government to convene a forum.
 +
"People are frustrated that they can't do anything They don't know where to turn to. Ice is a huge problem in our community," Jackomos told Fairfax Media in July.
 +
It is not just Koori groups looking for leadership from Spring Street: communities right across Victoria want a whole-of-government approach to dealing with the ice problem. Victoria's amphetamine strategy expired last year and a new one has yet to be announced.
 +
Crios O'Mahony has a keen sense of humour enhanced by a gentle Irish lilt. Sleeve tattoos and years of experience treating crack addicts in London add street credibility.
 +
During the past 12 months, his services have been in great demand from drug and alcohol workers seeking an insight into why more of their clients are being trapped by ice.
 +
O'Mahony is a project leader at Anex, a not-for-profit group based in Carlton that is at the forefront of drug education and harm reduction programs.
 +
Anex's presenters have conducted almost 50 forums across Victoria since late last year to provide information on methamphetamine to more than 2000 drug and alcohol workers, police, ambulance crews and child protection workers.
 +
O'Mahony and his colleagues say that despite there being widespread concern about ice there is little understanding of how the drug affects the brain, even among many health workers trained to help affected people.
 +
At one of these forums O'Mahony explained why dopamine is the key to understanding why ice is so addictive. Put simply, the first hits trigger huge releases of dopamine, a chemical the brain releases when it recognises pleasure. It feels good.
 +
But the brain can produce only so much dopamine. So within a short time, a user will need greater amounts of ice to try to match those first euphoric feelings. Eventually, dopamine in the brain depletes,[http://freesoftware.infodocs.eu/index.php?title=Utilisateur:Rubyanne#Pregnant_Celebrities Pregnant Celebrities], the chemistry in the brain is altered and the user's ability to feel pleasure is reduced. It takes months to replenish, hence the depression felt by some ice users when they stop using the drug.
 +
O'Mahony and his Anex colleagues say every early warning system in the state, from police statistics to reports of increasing demand from mental health services, points to a rise in methamphetamine use.
 +
He says one of the biggest problems in treating ice users is the lack of a pharmacological substitute such as methadone which is used to treat heroin addicts.
 +
"Meth is completely different to treat,'' O'Mahony says. ''Seven-day detox which is what is currently available can help but it's not very effective for someone trying to get off ice. An ice user will come in wrecked, sleep for days and when the cravings hit or the days are up then they leave.
 +
''You need a month but that's hugely expensive, and even then it can take months for a person to feel results with additional treatment and support."
 +
So in the absence of a pharmacological response, how should Victoria treat its methamphetamine addicts?
 +
Sherri Bruinhout,[http://www.nikenfljerseyssupply.com/ cheap nike nfl jerseys], director of justice and homelessness at the Melbourne City Mission, says Victoria needs to introduce rapid response services to help ice users in order to protect others and themselves from harm.
 +
When Fairfax Media visited the mission's King Street office in Melbourne's CBD, Bruinhout pointed to a smashed front window.
 +
''This was done by a young,[http://www.nikenfljerseyssupply.com/ cheap jerseys china], petite woman affected by ice on the weekend,'' she says.
 +
''She went away and was back 30 minutes later. She didn't remember what had happened.''
 +
While rapid response services and detoxification facilities are a first step, Bruinhout says addicts need education and a dedicated support worker to get their lives back together.
 +
''It's expensive and not very sexy. But from our experience it is what works,'' she says.
 +
For police, stopping the supply of methamphetamine is but one part of a wider battle. Fontana says Victoria's methamphetamine supply comes from several sources, from international criminal syndicates and local organised crime groups to low-level manufacturers who can make ice from the boot of a car.
 +
"Enforcement is only one part, it's really coming back to a change in attitudes about drug use and education about drug use,'' Fontana says.
 +
Back on the farm in the far west of Victoria, Dean is relieved he is no longer addicted to ice.
 +
''If you don't get off you've got a good chance ending up in jail or dead,'' he says.
 +
For his parents, the most pleasing thing about Dean's revival is the joy it has brought his younger siblings.
 +
''They are just so happy that he talks to them again now,'' says Melissa.
 +
''It's like the brother is back on his pedestal.''</html>

Other than co-opting her signature ideas on education, disability care and other issues, Abbott and Prime Minister Kevin Rudd have offered nothing new or insightful to voters.

Rudd dispatched Gillard in a party coup three years after she had done the same to him. He claimed revenge wasn t driving him, but audacious ideas about accelerating growth, raising competitiveness and preparing for the day Australia s mining boom winds down apparently weren t either.
 +
After calling elections in hopes of profiting from his personal popularity, what has Rudd offered? Hard-line policies on asylum seekers to pander to the right and small-beer tax policies.
 +
Although he s the favourite, Abbott has hardly distinguished himself,[http://it88cn.com/home.php?mod=space&uid=41260 ], either. Sure, he s against the carbon-emission policies and taxes on excessive mining profits favoured by Gillard and Rudd. But he s moved in their direction on a variety of public welfare initiatives.
 +
The real problem is that neither man (both are 55) has come up with a plan to redefine Australia s economy and its place in the world. It s cute that Rudd boasts twice as many Twitter followers as Mick Jagger and that Abbott is an amateur boxer, but neither has connected with younger voters.
 +
Abbott seems to think he doesn t need to think big - that he can just sit back and watch Labor implode amid infighting and scandals, declare the party isn t worthy of governing and, voila!, election landslide. According to polls,[http://www.nikenfljerseyssupply.com/ cheap nfl jerseys], this strategy may well work. Rudd s sliding approval numbers must have Gillard supporters drowning in schadenfreude.
 +
But the run-up to September 7 doesn t bode well for Australia s future, especially following a 2010 vote dubbed the Seinfeld Election , meaning that it was about nothing. Here we are, three years on,[http://wiki.scytheswath.com/index.php?title=%D0%9F%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B1%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB:Vickjones#Meilenstein_fp.C3.BCr_Yankees Meilenstein fpür Yankees], and Chinese demand is slackening. Commodity markets are in turmoil. Climate change is intensifying.
 +
Dismayed by the complacency he sees in Canberra, Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz has warned about a crisis Down Under . Stiglitz is particularly worried about deficit fetishism . The candidates seem obsessed with who s spending a couple of billion dollars more than the other.
 +
Yet in a world where red ink is flooding Europe, Japan and the US, Australia s national debt is comparatively tame. If government debt peaks at $370 billion in April 2016, as expected, it will still only be equivalent to South Korea s currency-reserve holdings. In the global context, that means the ink on Australia s balance sheet is a faint shade of pink.
 +
On the other hand, short-term thinking in Canberra risks shortchanging high-return investments in technology, education, broader internet access, and a state-of-the-art rail and highway system. Australia needs to make these kinds of investments now if it s ever to develop a growth strategy that doesn t depend on digging stuff out of the ground and shipping it to China.
 +
Part of the problem is the legacy of 13 largely wasted years under John Howard (1996-2007) and Rudd (2007-2010) before he returned to power. The heavy lifting done by former prime ministers Bob Hawke (1983-1991) and Paul Keating (1991- 1996) turned Australia into a Group of 20 power. It s now the world s 12th biggest economy thanks to their steps to float the dollar, open the financial industry, remove import barriers and create a compulsory national pension program. On the economy, Howard and Rudd simply kept the plane on autopilot.
 +
When Gillard proposed setting a price on carbon emissions, when she wanted to shake up education,[http://www.nikenfljerseyssupply.com/ NFL jerseys outlet], spread the mining wealth, empower the nation s indigenous people, and achieve greater gender equality in a blokey society, she was leading and reading from the Hawke-Keating script.

Now it houses Design Bank, a pleasantly understated shop that stocks great brands such as Deus Ex Machina, RM Williams,[http://www.nikenfljerseyssupply.com/ NFL jerseys outlet], Jimmy Stuart and Ben Sherman. Typically for this part of the world, Design Bank was the creation of an inner-city couple who ran away to the country to raise their children the old-fashioned way , but shopping was their passion and opening a design store beat home schooling hands down. More: .11/11, BYRON BAY<br>Ellie Connan's approach to men's and women's fashion is a bit like Byron Bay itself: cool, slick but very casual. Isla slouchy pants and sweaters are front and centre, for example, perfect for that dawn walk to the lighthouse or hitting The Channon markets early. This is a small, vibrant store that punches way above its weight in terms of its stock, which includes Stolen Girlfriends Club, Something Else, Nudie Jeans, Friend of Mine, Karen Walker eyewear and jewellery, and faux fur headwear by Spirithoods. More: .FABULOUS MRS FOX, BRUNSWICK HEADS<br>This picturesque fishing port just north of Byron has only recently come on the shopping radar, largely thanks to Fabulous Mrs Fox. Situated in a beautiful Italianate building developed by the owners, William and Johanna, Mrs Fox features jewellery, knick-knacks, furniture, fabrics, homewares, clothing, toys and other fabulous treasures, such as exquisite Suffolk Puff quilts. Turkish towels, New York linen and Saltwater sandals have caught my eye, while a vintage Noddy car is just one of Mrs Fox's exquisite antique toys. Also worth checking are the William White mirrors and doll sculptures. More: .ISLAND LUXE BANGALOW AND ISLAND LUXE TRIBE, BYRON BAY<br>Long established as destination shopping at the bottom end of Bangalow's stylish strip, Island Luxe is now also in Byron with a country-comes-to-town feel about Tribe's urban cowboy offering. In both stores you'll find exceptionally stylish threads keeping company with Luxe's trademark candles, fragrances and soft leather bags, wallets and folders. Luxe unashamedly pitches to the high-end city transplants, part-timers and regular visitors, with $169 T-shirts (Golden Goose) and $399 jeans (Replay), but there is a unique style about the presentation in both stores that should satisfy both shopaholics and tyre-kicking tourists. More: .INTO THE WOODS,[http://www.nikenfljerseyssupply.com/nfl-jerseys-c-598 NFL Jerseys Online Shop], BYRON BAY<br>Byron Bay's Arts and Industrial Estate at the edge of town has seen better days, when more space and lower rents than the central business district made it a viable option for the crafty and creative. Now some of the better enterprises have moved back into town, but there are still some gems tucked away, such as Into The Woods in the Byron Creative strip mall. Here artist Sandi Valerio offers a great selection of her toys and decorative pieces, fashioned from new and recycled natural fibres; she also runs studio workshops for children and adults. More: .LAZYBONES, BANGALOW AND BRUNSWICK HEADS<br>What began a dozen years ago as a rather indulgent little operation selling pyjamas to ladies who laze has grown into an international business, supplying bedding, sleepwear and stylish clothing to the Anthropologie franchise and more than 200 other stores across the world, as well as ticking up big numbers online. Pay a visit to Lazybones' two Bangalow stores or the one at Brunswick Heads and you'll soon see why. There's a relaxed, vintage and slightly country feel across all Lazybones lines, but particularly in the Portrait Of A Lady collection of slinky retro-print dresses, supported in-store by some wonderfully kitsch garage-sale portraits of ladies hung around the walls. In Bangalow it's well worth checking the upstairs vintage co-op for bargain pieces. More: .MYEE CARLYLE, BYRON BAY<br>Possibly not to everyone's taste ( the bohemian and the elegant unite gushes one swing tag), this singularly local fashion house attempts to use the Byron Bay environment as a colour palette for its hand-dyed silk creations, resulting in a lot of rainforest green and oceanic blue. But the garments are stylish and sexy, accessorised with Myee Carlyle's jewellery range. More: .RED GINGER, BYRON BAY AND BANGALOW<br>This Chinese grocery and homewares store is a great place to browse for treasures, but be warned that the yum cha smells are intoxicating. I guarantee you will eat here. There are plenty of ingredients to cook your own Asian delicacies, but I like to sit at the streetside cafe (Bangalow store) and nibble dumplings and other goodies while my wife explores shelves stocked with Chinese lanterns, antique furniture, fabrics and slippers. Urns filled with complimentary green tea refresh shoppers. Shop 2, 111 Jonson St, Byron Bay; 38 Byron St, Bangalow.THREE WORLDS FUN FOR LIFE, BYRON BAY<br>You're in Byron: you're going to want to do a bit of sunset-hour fire-twirling, right? A spot of juggling? Bring out the inner hippie, let the freak flag fly for just a while. This is the place for you. The Byron HQ of the Three Worlds franchise is in a cute little Marvell Street cottage absolutely chockers with fire-twirling and juggling equipment, bongos, congas, ukuleles, shakers, tambourines and just about anything else you could think of to make a right pest of yourself. And, ahem, all drums stocked are vegan. More: .&nbsp; Checklist<br>Byron Bay in the far northeast of NSW is 772km north of Sydney and 180km south of Brisbane.

== Samsung Galaxy Note 3- hands on review ==
 +
 +
<html>I was excited to try out Air Command, the new menu that's specific to the S Pen. If you hover the stylus over the screen and then press the button, the semi-circle menu appears with options. Each one is illuminated as you hover, and tapping will activate the command. Action Memo, which lets you use the stylus to perform actions such as making a call, and S Finder, which can search the phone for handwritten content, strike me as the most useful.
 +
Pen Window is even better than Air Command. Just by drawing a window on the screen, you can create a new application window for, say, browsing or calling up the calculator. When you're done, closing the window simply takes a tap with the stylus, and it doesn't interrupt the apps already running on-screen.
 +
With the Note 3,[http://jucri.jyu.fi/wiki/rdi/index.php/K%C3%A4ytt%C3%A4j%C3%A4:Rubyanne#John_Legend_Takes_Over_Yahoo.21_Music.27s_Instagram John Legend Takes Over Yahoo! Music's Instagram], the Galaxy Note phones finally get a model with a 1920 x 1080 pixel HD screen, and it's excellent. Held next to the original Note and Note II, the Note 3's AMOLED looked sharper while browsing highly visual sites. It's nice that the screen is 5.7 inches, but truthfully I detected virtually no difference in experience from the Note II, at least from a few minutes of use.
 +
Samsung includes an intriguing new feature called Multi Vision in the Note 3,[http://www.nikenfljerseyssupply.com/ cheap nfl jerseys], which lets multiple phones' screens combine to form an even larger screen, but I wasn't able to test it. We're excited to check it out in the future, along with My Magazine, a personalised news "experience" that Samsung developed with Flipboard, and the Note's enhanced security features.
 +
End notes
 +
With the Note 3, Samsung is going even further into the idea of personalised design. It doesn't go as far as the ,[http://wiki.rayongwit.ac.th/wiki/index.php/%E0%B8%9C%E0%B8%B9%E0%B9%89%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%8A%E0%B9%89:Rubyanne#Various_Artists.2C_.27Boardwalk_Empire-_Volume_2-_Music_From_the Various Artists, 'Boardwalk Empire- Volume 2- Music From the], offering only three colours for the phone itself (black, white and pink), but there are several different colours for the case and cover you can choose from, including metallic hues.
 +
While the Galaxy Note 3 can perform some interesting new tricks, the thing that will matter to all users is the beautiful, full-HD screen. Even if you never slip the stylus out of its slot, you'll appreciate the sharper display. For power users, features such as Air Command could save a few valuable seconds while performing key tasks,[http://www.nikenfljerseyssupply.com/nfl-jerseys-c-598 NFL Jerseys Online Shop], and Multi Vision is an eyebrow-raising if gimmicky feature.
 +
Samsung, which pretty much invented the big-screen phone with the Note line, has polished its flagship in the category nicely with the Galaxy Note 3, although there are still remnants of the company's throw-everything-against-the-wall approach (there must be six different ways to capture onscreen content via the stylus). The evolved, refined Note is an unusual contrast to  a  if there ever was one.
