Political scientist Haydon Manning hits back at economic critiques of SA's proposed nuclear waste dump, arguing they are mischievous, premature and ignore a pressing moral case underpinning the debate.

I like contrarian thinking and Professor Richard Blandy's column last week – arguing how a high-level nuclear waste dump could lose money – certainly delivered on that front.
The problem is, as an economist, Blandy it is blind to the politics of the matter that is about to be discussed across South Australia in an unprecedented level of government-community consultation.
Also there is an element of the mischievous in Blandy's effort to question the integrity of the Royal Commission's work. He complains of not receiving due recognition for his submission on the repository's projected costs and benefits. But when I checked his assertions with the Commission I was directed to page 104, section 87 where the effort was made – perhaps not to his satisfaction. Nevertheless we find here, I believe, an honest recognition that more work will be done, if necessity, on the financial question if the project is ever to eventuate.
Problem is, this is not a particularly fair reading of the Commission's Report. The Report observes, 'If the project is not considered profitable, the process goes no further' [page 104]. You could say, "red rover, all over" and follow Blandy's view that the proposal will lose money but, for political reasons, that would be premature as some important pieces of politics need to be put in place before a State Government gets to talk price with potential customers.
The politics and policy dimension of this matter requires that the State, and for that matter the Federal government, begin to amend legislation prohibiting the handling of high grade waste. Interestingly, as I understand what is unfolding, this would not indicate a commitment to build the repository.
That may sound an odd point to make, but it is not – given the significance of the notion of first securing 'pre-commitment' financing from those countries desperate to see us host their nuclear waste.
The Weatherill Government promises a policy response based on the community consultation by year's end; it will either cease pursuing the matter or advance to the next stage, simple as that.
If the Government believes there is social consent to go to the next stage, it will – but this next stage is not about giving a green light to begin building the repository's infrastructure.
This huge policy challenge is all about the stages and Blandy's economic quibbles will be proved right, or wrong, at a later stage.
At this early stage the idea that one needs absolute certainty on the economic benefits, or otherwise, of hosting nuclear waste, is not particularly relevant. All that is required are some reasonable calculations that it may well be beneficial, and that is what the Commission's Report presents.
The notion 'pre-commitment' is a term I figure South Australians will become rather familiar with over the next few years, as it is really the nub of the matter as it relates to actually building the repository.
From my research over many years following nuclear fuel cycle policy I conclude confidently that the money is there. It has been mounting for years as nations such as South Korea, Japan and Taiwan 'clipped the ticket' on every electricity bill so as to build a fund to handle the waste disposal issue when the time came. Our task in SA (and nationally) is to show these nations we are committed politically to the build the necessary infrastructure, having gained the social consent.
Blandy questions why any nation would seek Australia as a nuclear waste provider of this service. The Commission's Report addressed this matter and found that countries located on the Pacific 'Rim of Fire' (Taiwan, South Korea and Japan) would find it very expensive for reasons of geology and earthquake proneness – thus making Australia an attractive host.
Blandy makes much of the Finnish repository's cost structure, neglecting the Commission's point that the Finnish repository is being developed in a region that is tectonically stable. As such, the Finnish example is simply is not representative at all of how repositories may be developed among our uranium customer countries.
That is why we are in a position to 'cash in' and, at the same time, actually do the morally right thing (more on morality in a moment). But it needs to be made abundantly clear there will be no forward movement, to the next stage, without 'pre-commitment' from one or a number of these countries.
Of course there are hurdles en route to talking turkey over contractual pricing. The first big one is public consent, the second is amending legislation in the State and Commonwealth to lay the legal foundation for hosting a repository. That will take time, but it would be expedited should Federal Labor lock in behind the State Labor Government.
Knowing we are 'fair dinkum' about building a repository will encourage the likes of South Korea, Japan and Taiwan to pre-commit funds to build the infrastructure plus, possibly, other financial injections into state coffers. This is the essence of the matter because it is at this point we will know whether the Commission's informed guesswork was on the money, or whether Blandy's thesis will be proved correct.
In a nutshell, no nation is going to enter into dealing with the state unless they are confident the repository will be built – and of course, we'd be mugs to build it if it put us further into debt.
Like many environmentalists, I struggled over the past twenty or so years to maintain my anti-nuclear predilections and their associated shibboleths. The eco-modernists are on the march, challenging the traditionalists' dogma on matters relating to nuclear power, so it is in that context I look at the Royal Commission's findings with an open mind and find myself disposed positively towards its findings.
I differ, I suspect, from many who are positive solely due to the economic bonanza on offer. For mine, it is not all about the economics – it is also about the moral dimension of the matter.
As a uranium exporter, Australia has a moral obligation – especially so given our suitable geology – to assist our customers should they struggle to find suitable means to dispose of high grade waste. This point was made by the Ranger Inquiry into Uranium mining back in the late 1970s, but it is largely a forgotten one.
Moreover, the threat of runaway climate change by late century – and the fact that coal, gas and oil remain so abundant in supply, and cheap to exploit for energy production – points to nuclear power, alongside a host of renewable energy options, as having a big role to play in coming decades.
These twin points are missed by Blandy as he asserts that it is only the economics of the proposal that ought to occupy our attention.
If by hosting a nuclear waste repository Australia assists nations to develop nuclear power, I'd conclude that is an intrinsically worthwhile pursuit. Actually, I would give a green light to the repository even if it was not a financial bonanza, but that would be way too idealistic for my political realist antenna! Of course, to woo public opinion the money angle will matter, given the focus on finding avenues to end our 'mendicant state' status.
But foremost is the question of how safe the shipment and disposal of waste is, and if that questions fails to pass muster then nothing will go ahead. It will die like another past government's visionary plan, the Multi-Function Polis.

I find his rhetorical flourish particularly puzzling, coming as it does from someone whose 'economic rationalist' opinions, many years ago, I came to respect – if not always agree with.
The problem is, he does not inform his readers of the Report's next rather pertinent sentence, which reads, 'Shielding and remote handling of the used fuel protects people and organisms from exposure to such high levels of radiation' .
Blandy is addressing the very first stage of waste disposal, namely moving a spent fuel rods from a reactor to a cooling pond. Should we host a repository we'd not be undertaking this simple and safe task because we don't have domestic nuclear power! I say 'safe' because moving spent fuel from reactors to cooling ponds has being going on for six decades safely with the use of robotic handling.
Chapter 5 of the Royal Commission's report details the history of handling high-level waste and has a number of case studies looking into the latest developments. For some 15 years I've read widely on these questions and while starting out from a decidedly anti-nuclear position came to see that my arguments would not stand up in the face of evidence.
I have no doubt waste can be handled safely, but I appreciate this is the key issue for citizens' juries and other consultative processes about to get underway. Without community recognition that nuclear waste can be managed safely and, indeed, stored for thousands of years buried deep underground, we won't get to the stage where the financial costs are calculated with certainty.
Blandy and other skeptics will get their answers then.
It is a pity they seek to muddy the waters via an injudicious reading of the Commission's findings.

As I mentioned in my previous post, "Geisha", the second term of my process art classes focused very much on letting go of our inner critic. This was done in a number of ways, from passing your work around the class where each student got to add something to your work, to working with a blindfold on.
In this class we started off blindfolded once again. We used inks, tea, coffee, charcoal and chalk pastels to fill the page with random markings. We covered a number of pages, working fairly quickly, without much thought given to what we were doing.
One of the textured pages created using a mixture of tea, coffee, inks, charcoal and chalk pastels.
We lay the pages out on the floor and were asked to choose one that "spoke" to us. One that seemed to have a hidden image or images.
I unfortunately don't have a photo of what my chosen page looked like before I worked into it, but what I saw at first were 3 GIRAFFES! Two of them were quite humorous and cartoon-like, and another was more realistic. I also saw a couple of birds. I used a wash of black ink, some charcoal and chalk pastels to help define the shapes that I was seeing.
The following day, on Facebook, a friend shared how her daughter had been gored by a tame boar and needed stitches in her leg. In her status update she said, "It has forced us to slow down. Assess, and figure out what this "Boar Medicine" means."
"The Native American practice of "animal medicine" embraces an awareness that reveals itself when a certain animal crosses our path."
" Animal Medicine is that which you need to learn RIGHT NOW! and the lesson that is coming across your IMMEDIATE path. Another animal may come cross your path tomorrow. Your attention may be called to one of these animals through television, conversation, daily experience, etc. Regardless of how one of these animals comes across your path, study the message and apply to your daily Life . . . they have a message for you!"
"Today Giraffe is letting you know that it's time to stick your neck out. Start making new connections, stretch yourself, reach as far as you can. You are up for the challenge."
And yes, of course it made sense to me... I'd just finished making a list of gift shops, online shops and markets that I could approach about selling some of the goodies that I make. Seriously!

Facebook is maintaining its ban on anti-coup groups, even after the government was overthrown
The previous government had banned the groups but now they're not in power.
Posted 12:36 pm
Dramatic political changes have affected the labels put on certain political and militant groups in Myanmar in the wake of the February coup in that country, leaving Facebook lagging behind with its censorship policies.
Organizations like the Arakan Army (AA), who had been fighting government forces for years, finally got banned on Facebook in 2019 when Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy-led government declared the AA a terrorist group.
But now, even some from that former government, as well as what are described as activists and pro-democracy figures all want Facebook to reverse the ban, since even the new, military authorities have removed the AA from the list of terrorist organizations (apparently as a political ploy to drive a wedge between the opposition), while the national unity government (NUG) doesn't consider ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) to be that any longer, either.
Neither of these new governments is still recognized as legitimate, and Facebook is yet to offer any comment on the situation, but the NUG representatives have been urging it to reinstate those previously considered to be terrorists – since they are all now fighting against the military government that took over several months ago.
They say that these groups rely on Facebook to communicate and disseminate their information to the world, and that the blocks are seriously undermining that effort.
Facebook is also blocking pages with ties to the military government (Tatmadaw) but those on the other side of the divide say Facebook has been slow in reacting to the changes, and want the giant to set up an oversight board for Myanmar.
One anti-coup activist, a journalist, posted on Facebook about EAOs uniting against the military, but Facebook removed the writeup as a violation of its community standards. The Rest of the World website said that there have been reports from some 50 people who experienced similar censorship on the giant social platform.
The site is also reporting that the initial inclusion of EAOs on the list of banned groups in 2020 was controversial, even though Facebook was acting in line with the rules of the democratic government of the time.
"Activists said that as well as restricting content relating to the armed insurgency, the restrictions also limited their ability to talk about human rights violations targeting ethnic minorities in Myanmar – where a genocide against the Rohingya was allegedly fueled by hate speech on Facebook," said the report.

The year was 2010 and the U.S. economy was in the midst of the most widespread and damaging economic melt-down since the Great Depression of the 1930s. South Florida was hit on all fronts, but the most devastating blow fell on its bomming construction and real estate industry, with the ripple effects shaking all related services, including the financial sector, to the core.
For Eddy Arriola, it was the ideal time to venture into banking. A Harvard Business School graduate and successful entrepreneur who had co-founded Inktel Direct, a firm specializing in direct contact telemarketing, with brother Ricky in 1997, Arriola had been bitten by the banking bug while serving on TotalBank's board of directors. "So here I was trying to start a bank during the financial crisis and everyone said 'You're crazy!'," he laughs, as he explains that the future for banking, especially community banks, was bleak. "Banks were closing. I'd never worked at a bank and didn't have a banking background. [But it was] something that I wanted to do personally." "Banks were being bought out or closed…
"Our money isn't any greener or any shinier than any other bank so we have to differentiate ourselves on service. We define services as helping our clients bank the way they want to bank."

However, we saw that there was an opportunity; that people still cared about being in the community and understanding who you're dealing with. They cared about local service and being able to operate more quickly." Arriola's plans and months of travel, consultations and research confirmed the need for a community bank model.

"So we put together [a group of] investors and a management team. We bought a little bank; we turned it around and have been building it up since then." Every aspect of Apollo Bank's history seems to have a unique tale behind it. And Arriola enjoys telling them.
"Most community banks in the US "have zero growth; no new business is forming, no new growth or negative growth. But Miami is exploding and will continue to."
What's behind the 'apollo' name?
"As I went around the country and spoke to different people that had created banks, I was working with an attorney in Texas, a guy named Chet Fenimore, who had started many banks. He is one of the —if not the top— top bank attorneys in the entire country. He worked with me for three months, for free, thought it was a good idea, and we hit it off. So after three months I called him and said 'Hey, Chet, I'm going to move forward. You're in Austin, Texas, and you're going to be my attorney.' And he says: 'That's great! What are you going to name the bank?'" Arriola replied that he hadn't thought about it yet. "So he goes: 'I've worked with you so long and I haven't sent you a bill. Starting Monday, I'm going to send you a bill, so you better figure out the name of the entity.'" After thinking about it all weekend, Eddy Arriola had the perfect name for the new bank. "I've always been motivated by the Apollo mission to the moon.
"A big plus is that Miami is doing phenomenally well…"
When you get a bunch of smart people focused on a common goal, you can do anything. This is kind of my Apollo mission. I tell people about the mission of the bank and where we're going, and they say 'I like that story!"'
This post is made possible in part by:
Building 'a great bank and an admirable company'
Since day one, Eddy Arriola's prime directive has been to build a robust, financially sound institution that's equipped to meet the community's needs. He recruited seasoned bankers like Richard H. Dailey, Apollo's president, whose international banking background, fluency in Spanish, and intimate knowledge of the South Florida and Latin America markets has proven invaluable to the bank's development.
"We saw that there was an opportunity, that people still care about being in the community and understanding who you're dealing with, about local service and being able to operate more quickly."
Backed by a board of directors that includes a varied group of successful Miami professionals, including William "Bill" Heffernan, former president and CEO of TotalBank, Dailey and Arriola lead a team that enacts the founder's vision in Apollo's branches, strategically located in Brickell, Coral Gables, Doral, Downtown, Hialeah, and Westchester. "Our money isn't any greener or any shinier than any other bank, so we have to differentiate ourselves on service. We define 'services' as helping our clients bank the way they want to bank.
While it is not an international bank in the traditional sense, Arriola says, "we're in Miami, the unofficial capital of Latin America. It's very hard to be a community bank in Miami and not service the community, which is very much international."
We do so by investing in technology, investing in people, in service, in turnaround time. We offer a lot of products and services, but not all the products and services. We focus on the small professional, small to mid-size businesses, family-owned businesses, entrepreneurs." While it is not an international bank in the traditional sense, Arriola says, "we're in Miami, the unofficial capital of Latin America. It's very hard to be a community bank in Miami and not service the community, which is very much international."
In the summer of 2015, it was chosen as a preferred lender for Midtown Doral —a luxury real estate development featuring 509 residential units and 72,000 square feet of commercial space.
The bank's rapid growth is not only fueled by its expanding —and satisfied— client base, but through other tactical moves. In August, 2014, federal regulators approved Apollo Bank's acquisition of embattled First Bank of Miami, almost doubling Apollo's size and market share, and making it one of Florida's 25 largest financial institutions.
"We want people who are still building their businesses. We have people who are using our drive through or coming into the branch that are wearing jeans and work clothes, or are the employees of the business or business owners who are working."
The bank has also established business alliances which, again, further expand its reach and ability to serve the South Florida community. In the summer of 2015, it was chosen by Century Homebuilders as a preferred lender for its Mid-town Doral —a luxury real estate development in the heart of the City of Doral, featuring 509 residential units and 72,000 square feet of commercial space.

Icky Blossoms discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of SXSW (In the podcast); Dowsing tonight…
Category: Blog — Tags: Dowsing, Icky Blossoms, podcast, SXSW2015 — @ 12:52 pm March 11, 2015
Variant Lazy-i logo. Collect them all…
The latest episode of the Lazy-i podcast is online right here at thereader.com. The installment includes a scintillating interview with Sarah, Nik and Derek of Icky Blossoms. The band talks about next week's South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, where they'll be performing. I asked what they like and don't like about SXSW, and why the festival is still important to a band that's already signed to a record label. The discussion is unbridled!
By the way, Icky Blossoms is playing a send-off show Friday night at Slowdown Jr. and the band says it'll be performing at least five songs from their upcoming Saddle Creek Records release, Mask. Why are they playing in Slowdown's small room instead of the big room (like they did when they played their last SXSW send-off show)? Because they want a packed house, which no doubt they'll get — though their show will be competing head-to-head against White Mystery/Digital Leather at Reverb Friday night.
Other stuff in this week's podcast includes leaks from Big Harp and Hop Along, Saddle Creek reissue news, a look (or listen) back at The Carsinogents, a live review (and soundbite) from last weekend's Boodcow/Universe Contest show at Reverb, and a rundown of what's happening this weekend indie-musicwise. The whole thing runs just under 20 minutes…
The plan for next week's South By Southwest coverage is podcasts — with plenty of soundbites and interviews — though I'll post photos (here at Lazy-i) and daily summaries (over at thereader.com).
Once we get past next week I'll probably retool these podcasts, perhaps make them shorter. Fifteen to 20 minutes per podcast feels a bit excessive. So I'll take another look at the format and see what adjustments need to be made. Big thanks to everyone who has provided feedback. I'll figure it out…
Tonight at Reverb it's self-described emo/indie band Dowsing from Chicago, Illinois. Based on the track below, the description is apt — pure '90s sound reminiscent of Sorry About Dresden. They list among their influences "feelings" — does it get anymore emo than that? Opening is Free Throw and Super Ghost. $8, 9 p.m.

Podcast feedback; Father John Misty moves to Sokol Aud; Johnny Cash tonight…
Category: Blog — Tags: Father John Misty, Johnny Cash, podcast — @ 2:07 pm February 19, 2015
I received lottts of feedback on the Lazy-i Weekly Wrap-Up podcast, and welcome more if you feel like sharing. Recording these things ain't easy. If you haven't checked it out yet, the podcast is below.
No. 1 complaint was that I don't sound like "me" on the podcast. One person said I sound like an old lady. Another said I sound like a hedgehog wearing glasses (great idea for a podcast mascot). Someone pointed out that I sound like I was reading something. That's because I was. Fact is I'm trying to put these together as easily as possible, grabbing items that appeared in the past week's Lazy-i entries, along with audio clips recorded at shows. I'm never going to write a brand new, 3,000-word script every week. It'll evolve… probably.
I was bummed when I went to buy my ticket to the April 8 Father John Misty show at The Waiting Room and discovered it was sold out. But fear not. One Percent moved the show to Sokol Auditorium, and $20 tickets are now on sale once again. It would be quite a feat if he sold out a venue that size.
I went recently 'round and 'round with someone about Misty's new album, I Love You, Honeybear, which came out a couple weeks ago. The other guy didn't like it. He said it was over-produced and too mainstream. And while I agree there is an abundance of strings on some tracks, I still dig the record. Misty a.k.a. J. Tillman is one of the better lyric writers out there these days, and this album showcases that talent in a way can only be described as "nostalgic." The record sounds like it was produced four decades ago. It sounds like music they used to play on KFAB in the '70s, the kind of music they now play on (the still operating) Magic 1490 AM — lush, tuneful, old-fashioned and familiar.
To me, Misty/Tillman sounds like a cross between Grant Lee Buffalo and '70s-era Elton John mixed with modern-day songsters such as Iron & Wine or Shearwater (though Tillman is much funnier than those two rather stoic outfits). He's been compared to Nilsson, which I get. Is the new record as good as his last album? Who knows, but it's definitely worth checking out, and worth buying tickets to the show.
Check out his recent Letterman appearance, singing my favorite song off the new record.
Speaking of shows, there's only one show worth mentioning tonight: The Barley Street Tavern is hosting a Tribute to Johnny Cash. Among the performers are Lash LaRue & the Hired Guns, Pat Gehrman, Brad Hoshaw, Michael J. Fillmore, Joe Watson, Josh Watson, Stephanie Krysl, Travis Sing and Daniel Burns. It's worth going out in the cold. $5, 9 p.m.

A NEWBURY woman has been jailed for stealing from a "very vulnerable" victim.
In the dock at Reading Magistrates' Court on Monday, April 3, was 27-year-old Emma Louise Alexander, of Skyllings.
She admitted stealing cash and bank cards worth £59 from a home in Westfield, Thatcham, on March 31.
Ms Alexander further admitted fraudulently using a stolen credit card to obtain approximately £47 worth of tobacco, alcohol and scratch cards at Oxford Road in Reading, also on March 31.
Magistrates jailed her for 20 weeks, citing the seriousness of the offences and "because of the very vulnerable victim".
In addition, Ms Alexander was ordered to pay a statutory victim services surcharge of £115.

The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis
3 stars - children - Fantasy - Narnia Week - Young Adult December 22, 2012
(Chronicles of Narnia, #4)
Children, Young Adult, Fantasy
NARNIA...where owls are wise, where some of the giants like to snack on humans, where a prince is put under an evil spell...and where the adventure begins.
Eustace and Jill escape from the bullies at school through a strange door in the wall, which, for once, is unlocked. It leads to the open moor...or does it? Once again Aslan has a task for the children, and Narnia needs them. Through dangers untold and caverns deep and dark, they pursue the quest that brings them face and face with the evil Watch. She must be defeated if Prince Rillian is to be saved.
"I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia."
I'm not sure if it was the change for the type of story, or else because the others who were familiar were gone, but I couldn't get into this one as well. It was the longest of the first four books also, so the scenes were dragged on a bit more.
Honestly there wasn't enough happening to have it over 200 pages. The story itself was good but I think being shortened could have improved on it, especially during their travels and grumbling about it. I did like the story of the signs, giants, and the battle with the witch. I'm surprised to find there are more types of White witches as I thought they were all dead - apparently some survived or else it was a plot point that was needed to continue the line of villainy.
The very end was depressing, then turned joyous again. Maybe depressing isn't the best word, but this one just feels darker and less optimistic, less youthful, and less potentially joyful as the others were. It almost feels like this was a filler book of sorts, even though the main story is important as it explains a big event in Narnia on the kingdom. In fact, the two kids were anxious to go home when confronted with the sadness of realities.
C.S. Lewis does have a knack at keeping story lines individualized, intriguing, and artfully different in each adventure. All the goals are important and can be catastrophic if not completed.
The central theme for this one is self-discipline, to follow instructions and to keep our eyes on the ball to succeed. How this rarely is what we do, and even if you fall, fall, and fall again, there can from that arise redemption and things can have a way of still working out in the end.
I like Eustace but Jill wasn't someone you latch on to easily and the book was told her POV. She wasn't that bright either and could irritate. I wonder why Eustace wasn't used as the central since he had the adventures in the last book and was an important character. Aslan was the same as always, his scenes being scarce but important when there. He was less present than in the previous three. Puddlegum was an okay companion but he didn't match up to the previous travelers. I thought it was cute about his gloom- and -doom personality, but he didn't hold a candle to Reepicheep, the Beavers, Caspian and others.
I think what makes Chronicles sad is that the books show a big sense of time. Time can be depressing. You see someone young, jubilant, and filled with energy and hope in one book, and in the next they have become old and on their death bed, hard of hearing, and different. So many changes. Change is inevitable but rarely in a series are you confronted with the harshness of the its realities. With Chronicles series there are always hefty changes occurring from one book, one world, to the next.
Book Quotes:
"When once a man is launched on such an adventure as this, he must bid farewell to hopes and fears, otherwise death or deliverance will both come too late to save his honor and his reason. Ho, my beauties!"

How You Practice Matters More than How Much You Practice | Super Tao Inc.
We live in a society thats default way of thinking is: More is always better than less. I can super-size my lunch for an extra 59-cents or I can get a 36-ounce soda instead of a 16-ounce soda for a quarter more. This has not led to people enjoying their lunch more or made them feel better physically. It has led us to become the most overweight society in the history of the planet and caused an enormous amount of health-related illnesses.
This more is better way of thinking infiltrates all areas of our lives (music, education, athletics, etc.) and gives many people false hope that it will lead to success in their endeavors. Most of you have heard of the 10,000-hour rule of achieving expertise in any field, and many of you may subscribe to this belief. The problem is, few realize that the study this notion or "rule" came from never specified an amount of hours, as it just as easily could have been 8,000 or 12,000. More significantly, it was not focused on practice in general, but rather a specific form of practice called deliberate practice.
Deliberate practice is very different from what most people do in or at their practices. The primary focus of the normal way people practice is repetition. Deliberate practice is highly structured to include mental, as well as physical components, with the specific goal of improving performance or acquiring new skills. It requires concentrated effort at all times and is driven by a purpose.
There are several hallmarks of deliberate practice, but one of the most important, in my opinion, is that you receive immediate informative feedback. Without adequate feedback about your performance during practice, the maximum efficiency of learning is not possible and your improvement will be limited.
This is why seeking out experts is the quickest way to speed your development in any pursuit. Additionally, without proper immediate feedback you may develop bad habits, as bad habits are acquired just as easily as good ones, and are much harder to unlearn. It is not uncommon to be held back more by the bad habits you have, than good ones you have not yet developed.
When I was growing up, my good friend and classmate, Steve, and I started taking piano lessons from the same woman. We went to the same number of lessons and practiced approximately the same amount of time between lessons. Within a few months, Steve was finishing his third lesson book and I was just coming up on finishing my first book.
I wondered how that could be. Steve's family was no more musical than mine was and we were receiving instruction from the same person. I now know even if I practiced twice (or three or four times) as many hours as Steve did back then I would not have kept up with him, because he went with the purpose of learning to play and I went to please/appease my parents.
With my attitude towards playing the piano, even the aforementioned 10,000- hours of practice likely would not have gotten me above average level (I will deal with the importance of attitude in a later blog). I see many good young athletes working out most days, but very few of them are approaching their workouts in a deliberate way fueled by purpose. Unfortunately, the majority of them think showing up and going through the motions will get them where they want to go, but by the time they realize they are on the wrong path, it is too late to recover.

Kara Kowalski Seeks U.S. Supreme Court Review in Her First Amendment Student Speech Case, But Should the High Court Take the Case?
Julie Hilden
Justia columnist and attorney Julie Hilden comments on a bid for U.S. Supreme Court review in a case regarding the First Amendment rights of public school students. The case raises a question that, Hilden contends, the Court will need to answer sooner or later: Under what circumstances, if any, can public schools punish students for off-campus, online speech that occurs outside of school hours? Hilden suggests that the Court should not choose the bullying case on which review has recently been sought as its vehicle for answering this question. Instead, she argues that the Court should focus on some future, simpler case in which a school punishes off-campus, online speech that is not targeted at other students. Hilden suggests that, just as the Court's seminal school speech precedent Tinker v. Des Moines Indep. Comm. Sch. Dist., had simple facts—involving students peaceably wearing war-protest armbands—so too should the Court's next school speech case. In particular, she notes that the Court's taking a case that mixes bullying and off-campus speech would likely lead to a result that slights First Amendment rights even in future cases where no bullying is present.

Can a City Broadly Ban People From Soliciting Work, Business, or Contributions on Its Streets and Highways? A Ninth Circuit En Banc Majority Says No
Justia columnist and attorney Julie Hilden comments on a recent First Amendment decision from an en banc panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Hilden explains why nine of the eleven judges voted to strike down an ordinance passed by the city of Redondo Beach, California, that had barred people from standing on the city's streets or highways and soliciting employment, business, or contributions from drivers or their passengers. She also covers the adamant dissenting opinion of the well-respected Ninth Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski in the case (also joined by Judge Bea), which some observers have found quite puzzling. Hilden contends that the majority's opinion was very persuasive, but takes issues with the dissent by the typically brilliant and incisive Judge Kozinski.

Regulating Adult Businesses Based on Their Secondary Effects on the Community: An Ohio Case Raises First Amendment Concerns
Justia columnist and attorney Julie Hilden comments on a recent decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The decision upheld two regulations that were imposed upon sexually oriented businesses in Ohio. The first regulation restricted a business's hours if it allowed nudity; the second regulation forbade a business's nude performers from touching each other, and from touching its customers. Hilden explains the Supreme Court nude-dancing decision, Barnes v. Glen Theatre Inc., that formed the backdrop for this case, and examines two of what she argues are the strongest First Amendment concerns that the Sixth Circuit panel's decision raises.

A Closer Look At The Defamation Lawsuits Against Eliot Spitzer: Why They Seem Quite Weak
Justia columnist and former counsel to the president John W. Dean discusses a set of interesting defamation lawsuits that were filed, earlier this month, in New York federal and state courts, against former New York Attorney General (and, later, New York Governor) Eliot Spitzer. The suits are based on an opinion piece that Spitzer wrote for Slate.com, about a year ago, which concerned past criminal charges that had been brought against employees of insurance/finance powerhouse Marsh & McLennan. Dean covers the background law on public-figure defamation suits; explains why the plaintiffs in the suits against Spitzer may have trouble meeting the basic defamation-law requirement that the statements at issue must be "of and concerning" them; and notes that if New York had a stronger anti-SLAPP statute, Spitzer might have been able to file a countersuit against the two plaintiffs who are suing him.

An Indiana Federal District Judge Holds That Teens Have a First Amendment Right Not to Be Punished by Their School for Posting Saucy Photos Online
Justia columnist and attorney Julie Hilden comments on a recent decision by the Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Indiana, concerning students' First Amendment rights. The case arose after two public-high-school students were suspended based on lascivious (but not nude) photos that they had taken of each other during a series of slumber parties, and posted for their Facebook and MySpace "friends" and for password-holders on a photo website. Their school argued that the girls had violated school policy, but the judge held that they had a right to take and post the photos at home. Important in the judge's analysis was that the girls themselves did not bring the photos to school; a parent made a copy and brought the copy in. Hilden argues that the case—while rightly decided—underlines the need for Supreme Court clarification in this muddy area of law.

Can Public School Students Constitutionally Be Punished for Their Off-Campus Comments on Social-Networking Sites or Blogs?
Justia columnist and attorney Julie Hilden comments on a case in which a young woman, Avery Doninger, sued her former high school for punishing her when she was a student there based on derogatory comments about school administrators that she posted while at home, on her home computer, after school hours, on a publicly accessible blog. Hilden notes that Doninger is now seeking Supreme Court review, based on a split among the federal circuit courts regarding cases similar to her own. Hilden explains two key Supreme Court precedents on school speech, and contends that the Court would have to truly make new First Amendment law if it were to allow schools to punish students for online comments that, like Doninger's, were made after school hours, at home, on home computers—even if the subject of the comments relates to other students or to school administrators.

When Do Message-Board Rants Count as Illegal Threats Against a Presidential Candidate? The Issue That Caused a Ninth Circuit Panel to Split, 2-1
Justia columnist, attorney, and author Julie Hilden comments on a recent, split decision from a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. As Hilden explains, the case involved the "true threats" doctrine, which determines when a statement is an illegal threat, and when it is protected by the First Amendment. The defendant's message-board postings about then-candidate Obama were ominous, but were they full-fledged threats under the legal test? Hilden explains why two Ninth Circuit judges said no, but one said yes.

The Supreme Court's Ruling on "Violent" Video Games: The Majority Opinion, and the Dissents
Justia columnist, attorney, and author Julie Hilden comments on the Supreme Court's decision yesterday, June 27, in the "violent" video games case. The Court decided, 7-2, to strike down California's law restricting minors' access to such games. Hilden explains the logic behind the opinion of the Court, written by Justice Scalia; contends that California made a mistake in framing its video-game law the way it did; and explains why Justice Breyer saw the case as more about the protection of children than about First Amendment rights, and accordingly dissented.

Q: calculation using decimal number field I'm trying to make a calculation using number fields that have set decimal places.
While the decimals are being displayed properly, the calculation is not running.  Here is my javascript:
 function setZeroNumberDecimal(el) {
    el.value = parseFloat(el.value).toFixed(0);
};
 function setThreeNumberDecimal(el) {
    el.value = parseFloat(el.value).toFixed(3);
};

$(document).ready(function(){
$(".calc").keyup(function(){
      var areasf = +$(".SF").val();
      $("#acre").val(areasf/43560);
});
});

And the HTML:
  <input type="number" onchange="setZeroNumberDecimal(this)" name="grosslandSF" class="calc SF">
  <input type="number" onchange="setThreeNumberDecimal(this)" name="grosslandacre" disabled="disabled" id="acre">

Any help would be great.

A: Instead of inline onchange event you can use oninput event.
When you change a value like in:
$("#acre").val(areasf/43560)

this will not fire the corresponding event, so you must do it by yourself:
$("#acre").val(areasf/43560).trigger('input');

The snippet:

function setZeroNumberDecimal(el) {
    el.value = parseFloat(el.value).toFixed(0);
};
function setThreeNumberDecimal(el) {
    el.value = parseFloat(el.value).toFixed(3);
};

$(document).ready(function(){
    $(".calc").keyup(function(){
        var areasf = +$(".SF").val();
        $("#acre").val(areasf/43560).trigger('input');
    });
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

<form>
    <input type="number" oninput="setZeroNumberDecimal(this)" name="grosslandSF" class="calc SF">
    <input type="number" oninput="setThreeNumberDecimal(this)" name="grosslandacre" disabled="disabled" id="acre">

Passengers will be picked up in Boston at 7:00am. From there, we will travel south to New York City. We will start our day will a Cruise of New York Harbor, and then continue on to see sights such as the Empire State Building, Times Square, and so much more!
At the end of the day, we will return to Boston, where we should arrive around 10:30pm.
New York tour was memorable experience. Tour Guide Peter was cool guy, responds politely even at the tight scenario. critical issue is tourists pushed to maintain strict timing and can't spend more than stipulated time even at the nice places. Tour must devote more time for Empire state Building than other scenic places.
I recommend this tour, the guide was great and we had a good amount of time in the museums. Everything was great and the schedule was good.
Great tour and the best was having the tickets before we entered an event. We didn't have to waste time standing in line to obtain a ticket. I felt safe during the entire tour and we covered a lot of areas within the short amount of time. Please book this tour, it was great for me and my 12 year old daughter.
I recommend this tour, it was a good coverage for a one day trip. We went as a small group (around 10 people) and the guide was very helpful and cheerful. Boat tour and Empire State of the extras are definite musts. You can also skip Tussauds and spend more time around Times Square instead.
It was a great tour....In 1 day we covered many places. Thanks to the bus driver and tour guide.
I recommend this tour. The driver was very nice with a lot of experience. The tour is very well organized considering the places to visit.
We thoroughly enjoyed the 1 day New York trip. Never expected it would be that awesome. Tour guide was friendly; it feels like you should talk to him all the time or clarify anything you want. All the event tickets were taken care by the driver. I would recommend 100% to all.
Nice tour, really enjoyable, and a very well spent day! Mo is a good guide- skillful and courteous. I recommend this tour! Thanks a lot!

Amiibo was the hottest Nintendo product for some time during 2015, but has seemingly settled down during this year. Still, the toys to life figures continue to generate sales for Nintendo, with no end in sight. Recently, another wave of Super Mario Amiibo was released this month, and The Legend of Zelda series is scheduled to arrive in early December. By no means is it like it was in past years, where waiting in line for hours for specific figures was all too common. These should all be readily available this holiday season, with no rare or chase figures known. Amiibo figures retail for $12.99 each, and are currently compatible with many Nintendo 3DS and WiiU software titles.
