Western District Texas Court Grants Summary Judgment for PBPA Plaintiffs and Vacates Lesser Prairie Chicken Listing Decision
In a first-of-its-kind ruling and a significant victory for state wildlife agencies, landowners, ranchers, farmers, and the oil and gas industry in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Colorado, the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, in Permian Basin Petroleum Association (PBPA) et al. v. Department of the Interior (DOI), et al., granted summary judgment in favor of PBPA and vacated the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) rule listing the lesser prairie chicken (LPC) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). In its September 1, 2015 opinion, the Court concluded that the decision to list the LPC was arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and that the agency failed to properly apply its Policy for Evaluation of Conservation Efforts When Making Listing Decisions (PECE Policy) to conservation efforts already undertaken on millions of acres across five states to improve habitat for and diminish threats to the LPC. Under the LPC Range-wide Conservation Plan, initially approved by FWS, more than 180 oil and gas, pipeline, electric transmission and wind energy companies have enrolled more than 14 million acres in conservation agreements to avoid, minimize, or mitigate impacts to the LPC from their operations. In the process, the industry participants in the Range-wide Plan have committed $45.9 Million in enrollment and impact fees to cover off-site mitigation actions for unavoidable impacts and conserve habitat. Earlier this year, the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, which oversees the conservation efforts under the Range-wide Plan, reported a 25 percent increase in the LPC's population from 2014 to 2015, in part a result of industry's conservation efforts. The Western District of Texas decision is the first time a court has vacated an ESA listing decision on the grounds that FWS violated the APA by not properly evaluating conservation efforts as required by the PECE Policy (in this case the substantial efforts committed to under the Range-wide Plan). Although the government had requested remand without vacatur, the Court vacated the LPC listing rule in its entirety. The Court's decision in PBPA v. DOI impacts landowners and businesses in the five states containing LPC habitat: Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado and Kansas. The decision also will impact four other district court cases (in the Northern District of Oklahoma and in the District Court of the District of Columbia) that challenge the LPC listing decision but which have not yet proceeded to briefing. The FWS has 60 days to decide whether to appeal the decision to the Fifth Circuit. The lead Plaintiff in the lawsuit is PBPA, the largest regional oil and natural gas association in the United States, with more than 1,000 member companies that produce oil and gas in the Permian Basin. The Permian Basin, which includes west Texas and eastern New Mexico, is the most prolific oil-producing region in the United States and produces approximately 20 percent of the oil produced annually in the U.S. Joining PBPA as co-plaintiffs are Chaves, Eddy, Lea, and Roosevelt Counties in eastern New Mexico. The counties contain significant portions of LPC range and significant amounts oil and natural gas development, agriculture and farming.

General Great War Discussion
The Leach Trench Catapult explained
By T8HANTS, 10 November , 2004 in Other Equipment
T8HANTS
Brigadier-General
Location:Isle of Wight (GB)
Posted 10 November , 2004
The Leach Catapult Explained
In October 1914 a gentleman by the name of Claude Pemberton Leach of South Kensington presented his machine to Louis Jackson of the War Department for evaluation and approval. He claimed that it could throw a golf ball nearly 200yds. Sadly such a limited performance would not bring the German army to its knees. A jam tin bomb weighed more than a golf ball, and 200yds was only just acceptable. Jackson must have seen something in the basic device and suggested to Leach that he improve the strength and durability of the catapult and the rubber bands that powered it. Mr Leach promised to return when he could reach 200yds with a 2lb bomb with a relative degree of accuracy.
Mr Leach must have decided that he needed professional help as he went with the contraption to Gamage's "Cycling, Sports, and General Outfitters". The result was that eight months later, on 22nd May 1915 they applied for a patent together which was granted as Pat No 7710/15. As Gamage's were a co-patentee this must imply that they made a significant improvement over Mr Leach's basic model. It would appear however that the catapult was already in use in France before the application of the patent, but it would also seem that Gamage's were the manufactures
The final version was 7 feet in length and shaped much like a child's catapult. The motive power was by between 6 to 12, ½" inch diameter rubber bandsper side individually lashed to the hornes of the frame by ropes passing through holes in the horns, and through worsted tape loops at the ends of each band. The bands are attached to the canvas pouch by shackles. the Pouchhas an arrangement of wire rope for strength and a loop at the rear to attach the trigger mechanism. This is a simple trip mechanism, as used in boat-yards to this day. The cable to the rear of the trigger is drawn down the length of the machine, and around a pulley to the underside, where the winch is attached. On the originals this was a very nice gunmetal yacht winch that must have accounted for most of the £12 cost of the contraption. A simple crank handle winds the winch, drawing down the cable, trigger, and pouch. These pass over a painted scale along the length of the main beam, to allow for a consistent repeatable amount of pull. There is a simple brass pointer inclinometer on the side of the main beam to set the catapult at its optimum angle of 42 ½ degrees. The bomb is placed in the pouch just as weight is applied. The pouch then grasps the bomb as it is drawn down. The catapult is then aligned with the target and the amount of pull required guesstimated. With bomb primed and pulled to the required strength, the fuse lit, the trigger is then struck with an entrenching tool helve, and the bomb flies off in a beautiful rainbow arc to its target. That's the theory, in practice the unvulcanised rubber bands can stretch or break, the bomb can hang up in the pouch and remain dangling at the end of the catapult, or the bomb can fly off in a strange direction. Remember the catapults were supposed to be worked from the support trench, and shoot over the front line. With my working replica I certainly have had a bomb (sand filled Army sock) hung up in the pouch, but with a clean loose, I have found that the bomb will fly consistently and straight, and I can drop 80% of my shots into a trench width at the 30 to 40 yards demonstration range that we use at shows.
The catapult came into service early in 1915 and was a front line weapon for about nine months, although the poet Endmund Blundon found one to play with in 1916. About 300 were retained at home fore training, thus free up more effective weapons for frontline service. from one of the 300 the sole surviving example was taken and placed in the IWM.
I hope that is of interest, if you want any more I will post you a page about my replica…Gareth

Q: Moving from Flash to HTML5/CSS/ etc Some years ago I decided I could bypass all the browser inconsistencies by producing sites entirely in Flash. Doesn't look such a good decision now so I'm re-writing my semi-CMS framework in php, javascript/jQuery and HTML. One aspect of my Flash sites which I am very pleased with is the ability to load all pages or states in the background so the user rarely requests a page that isn't already loaded. When that does happen I can display a progress bar. In AJAX I can't display progress but I also found a significant difference I hadn't anticipated. In Flash I load the .swf for page 1 completely, before starting to load page 2. That means everything including images etc. In AJAX I can't see a way to do that. I can check that the HTML file itself has completed loading, but not that all its images have loaded before loading the next HTML file. Is it possible?

A: If you're looking for an HTML5 solution rather than just an AJAX solution you might want to investigate the Application Cache.  There is a progress event which you could hook into, though it possibly doesn't get into the level of detail you need.  As far as I'm aware, resources will start downloading in the order they're listed in the manifest file.

'Surviving R. Kelly' spurs follow-up calls from DA, attorney for alleged victim's family says
Posted 5:02 pm, January 8, 2019, by CNN Wire
(CNN) — R. Kelly could be facing an investigation in Georgia following the airing of a Lifetime documentary series that chronicled allegations of abuse, predatory behavior and pedophilia against the singer.
Gerald Griggs, an attorney for the family of Joycelyn Savage, one of the women featured in "Surviving R. Kelly," told CNN that the Fulton County District Attorney reached out to Griggs a few days ago, after the show aired.
Griggs said the Fulton County DA is conducting an investigation into Kelly.
Chris Hopper, the public information officer for the Fulton County DA, told CNN he had "no comment" after being asked if there was an open investigation of Kelly in Georgia.
Griggs said he was asked to provide a list of witnesses in regards to events that allegedly took place in Kelly's house in the northern Atlanta suburb of Johns Creek in 2017.
CNN has reached out to Kelly's attorney, Brian Nix, for comment.
The six-part docuseries featured accounts from accusers and interviews with Kelly's close friends regarding his life and a host of allegations.
Musician John Legend, #MeToo founder Tarana Burke, and talk-show host Wendy Williams were also among those who appeared in the series.
Kelly's lawyer told Billboard the documentary was filled with false allegations, and has suggested the subjects are defaming his client for personal gain.
The family of Joycelyn Savage has claimed she is having a sexual relationship with R. Kelly, and that she is being manipulated by him into cutting off contact with the outside world.
Savage responded to this claim in a video released in 2017, in which she denied she's being held by the Grammy-award winning singer.
In 2002, Kelly was charged with 21 counts of child pornography for a videotape that allegedly showed him having sex with an unidentified underage girl. He was acquitted, and his lawyers at the time said Kelly was not in the video, and suggested his likeness may have been computer-generated.
In 2017, he was accused of having a sexual relationship with a teen. At the time, Kelly's publicist denied previous allegations, saying they were "made up by individuals known to be dishonest."
A screening of the documentary in December was evacuated after the venue received a threatening phone call that turned out to be noncredible. Attendees of the screening included Kelly's accusers and prominent social justice activists depicted in the film.
On January 3, Timothy Savage, the father of Joycelyn Savage, filed a police report alleging he was receiving harassing calls from Don Russell, Kelly's manager. According to a copy of the report obtained by CNN, Russell threatened Timothy Savage with retribution if he continued to support the documentary.
CNN has not been able to reach Russell for comment.
"Surviving R. Kelly" aired over three nights on Lifetime starting January 3.

Q: Counterclockwise in Eclipse Luna fails to see resources of a dependant project I have a project A that depends on project B. The poject B is a subproject of A and works as a part of project A. The project B has its own resources that it must access to bootstrap itself. So, when I start the project A, it fails with the exception that the assets for project B cannot be found.
This setup worked just perfectly in Kepler, it did not have any issues with finding the files, so all paths and source folders are intact.
Looks like something has changed in Luna, comparing to Kepler. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
EDIT: I also must add that the folder named "assets" exists in both project A and project B (they contain different assets). When I try to manually add the assets folder of project B to project A, Eclipse says that this folder already exists. Could this be the source of the problem? How do I resolve it then? Again, Kepler had no issues with that..

A: Thanks to @erhun, I have spotted the reson and the fix for the situation. As @erhun have queried, the project did not launch with Leiningen outside Eclipse with the very same issue. So it turned out that Counterclockwise was set to run the projects with Leiningen instead of the "defult java launcher", so I have changed it in the preferences and Eclipse did the magic.
Leiningen is known for its more strict policy on dependant projects, so it would not allow for such a kind of transitive dependancy, effectively making the user to copy all the resources into the main project.

Navantia Australia signs Memorandum of Understanding with CBG Systems
Please click here to go to Navantia Australia's official press release.
Navantia Australia has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tasmania's CBG systems for insulation and fire protection supply and management for its bid for the future frigates project.
CBG currently designs, manufactures and installs the only removable panelised structural fire protection system in the world, a Class N-30 Navy approved system, which has been developed to withstand hydrocarbon fire and shock. The system consists of panels mounted below the deckhead allowing easy access to the vessel structure, increasing ease of access and reducing maintenance costs due to ease of handling.
CBG's system is deployed on the Navantia designed on the Hobart Class destroyers, where CBG manufactures and installs the main machinery insulation.
"From our work together on the Hobart Class, Australia is already receiving the benefit of CBG's involvement in naval warship construction," said Navantia Australia Chairman Warren King. "CBG is an industry leader, providing world-class fire protection and insulation, which will ensure the future safety of the frigates' personnel. Together we will build on the success of the Hobart Class destroyers, to establish a sovereign naval shipbuilding capability in Australia."
CBG will also be responsible for the development of an insulation turn-key capability plan which will include a proposed approach to managing the skills and logistical requirements for insulation capability, including the supply and storage of the material; the location of warehouse facilities; and the allocation of work orders and workforce.
"We look forward to being able to share and further develop our capabilities in the marine insulation, communications and lightweight passive fire protection industry," said CBG Managing Director Javier Herbon. "Through our partnership with Navantia we intend to continue to expand our technologies, keeping Australia at the forefront of the marine fire protection and insulation industry."
On learning of the MoU, RADM Rtd Steve Gilmore AM CSC, Tasmania's Defence Advocate stated "I am very pleased by the increasing rate of contribution from Tasmanian companies through a partnering approach with Defence Industry Primes such as Navantia. This MoU highlights the enormous potential Tasmanian industry has to play in future projects. It is

A true story of men and women pitted against the sea during World War II—and an unforgettable portrait of the determination of the human spirit.
On May 19, 1942, a U-boat in the Gulf of Mexico stalked its prey fifty miles from New Orleans. Captained by twenty nine-year-old Iron Cross and King's Cross recipient Erich Wu¨rdemann, the submarine set its sights on the freighter Heredia with sixty-two souls on board.
Most aboard were merchant seamen, but there were also a handful of civilians, including the Downs family: Ray and Ina, and their two children, eight-year-old Sonny and eleven-year-old Lucille. Fast asleep in their berths, the Downs family had no idea that two torpedoes were heading their way. When the ship exploded, chaos ensued—and each family member had to find their own path to survival. Including original, unpublished material from Commander Wu¨rdemann's war diary, the story provides balance and perspective by chronicling the daring mission of the U-boat—and its commander's decision-making—in the Gulf of Mexico. An inspiring historical narrative, So Close to Home tells the story of the Downs family as they struggle against sharks, hypothermia, drowning, and dehydration in their effort to survive the aftermath of this deadly attack off the American coast.
Michael Tougias is the author and co-author of twenty-three non-fiction books, including several true survival-at-sea adventures, such as Rescue of the Bounty, Fatal Forecast, Overboard!, A Storm Too Soon, and The Finest Hours (soon to be a major motion picture by Disney). Ten Hours Until Dawn was selected as one of the American Library Association's "Best Books of the Year."
Alison O'Leary is a former reporter for the Boston Globe, a magazine editor, and a freelance writer. Her work has appeared in newspapers and magazines across the country.
"Through their meticulous research, Tougias and O'Leary take you where few historians dare, into the dark sea where an American family is floundering to stay alive, and onto the steel-planked deck of the German U-boat that put them there. This is priceless history—two hundred pages of 'you-are-there.'" Adam Makos, New York Times bestselling author of "A Higher Call"
"They don't come any better than Michael J. Tougias. His latest, So Close to Home, is a truly gripping, deeply affecting saga of undersea warfare and an extraordinary American family caught in the crosshairs of history." Alex Kershaw, New York Times best-selling author of "The Longest Winter" and "The Few"

The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)
December 8, 2020 6:35 PM - Subscribe
When the Muppets graduate from Danhurst College, they take their song-filled senior revue to New York City, only to learn that it isn't easy to find a producer who's willing to back a show starring a frog and a pig. Of course, Kermit the Frog and his friends won't take no for an answer, and they set up quarters in the lockers at the bus station and launch a search for someone who will put them on a Broadway stage.
The Muppets Take Manhattan opened on July 13, 1984 to mostly positive reviews. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 83% of 23 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 6.9 out of 10. The site's consensus stated that "if it's not quite as sharp as The Muppet Movie, The Muppets Take Manhattan is still a smart, delightfully old-fashioned tale that follows the formula established by the first two movies -- a madcap adventure assisted by a huge group of human stars."
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film a three-star rating (out of four) stating in his review that "the plot of [the] movie has been seen before." However, Ebert went on to say that just about everything in the film was enjoyable and that Kermit finally solves his long-lasting identity crisis. In his 2009 Movie Guide, Leonard Maltin gave the film a three-star rating (out of four) as well citing that the film is an "enjoyable outing with bouncy songs, [with a] nice use of N.Y.C. locations."
The film features cameos by Frances Bergen, Art Carney, James Coco, Dabney Coleman, Elliott Gould, Gregory Hines, Mayor Edward I. Koch, John Landis, Linda Lavin, David Lazer, Liza Minnelli, Joan Rivers, Brooke Shields, and Vincent Sardi Jr., and was the last Muppet movie to be made before the deaths of Jim Henson and Richard Hunt.

In an interview, Juliana Donald (Jenny) recalled how filming of the jogging scene in the park was temporarily delayed by a camera problem. A little boy passing by approached and started talking to Kermit the Frog, oblivious to Jim Henson operating him. Despite the surrounding commotion of technicians trying to fix the camera issue, Jim started interacting with the boy. Moments later, Jim found himself doing an impromptu performance with Kermit for an entire group of children who had gathered around to watch.
The portrait of Kermit the Frog in his producer's disguise has become a permanent fixture at the real Sardi's, and can be seen in other movies set there.
As with The Muppet Movie (1979), this can be read as an allegory of Jim Henson's career. Like his creator, Kermit gains local popularity performing during his college years, decides to try his luck in New York City, struggles, takes an unlikely detour into the world of advertising, then gets his big break.
The minister in the wedding scene is an actual minister.
[Masterson Rat gazes at Brooke Shields.]
Brooke Shields: Is something wrong?
Masterson Rat: Do you believe in interspecies dating?
Brooke Shields: Well, I've dated some rats before, if that's what you mean.
[Masterson faints]
Janice: [not realizing that everyone else has stopped talking] ...So I told him "Listen, buddy, I don't take my clothes off for anybody, even if it IS artistic".
Piggy's abuse and aggressive pursuit of Kermit make me cringe. In this movie she spies on Kermit (at least she gets called out for it), assaults him after he insults her, then she tricks him into marrying her, which, yikes.

This is not just a kid thing. I saw Steve Whitmire at Dragoncon one year, and he brought Kermit out for the Q&A. I swear to god something in the human brain short-circuits in the presence of Muppets, because I could SEE Whitmire puppeteering and I was still like 'oh my god! that's Kermit!! I know him!!!'
(I got to ask a question, too. apparently kermit wasn't really interested in adapting more works of classic literature, preferring to focus on original work, but I did tell him I thought he'd make a great Jean Valjean.)

"The plot of your movie has been seen before. I doubt if that will come as news to you. 'The Muppets Take Manhattan' is yet another retread of the reliable old formula in which somebody says 'Hey, gang! Our senior class musical show is so good, I'll bet we could be stars on Broadway!'"
I'm mystified by this remark. Are there really so many movies about a gang of college students that try to take their senior musical to broadway? Is this an example of parody outliving all trace of the subject it's parodying? I suppose it's such a light, benign basis for a movie that no examples of such would ever end up on modern lists of theater-related movies.

The Muppets Go To Regionals!
I think it's a playful sentence in a loving review. I also think that by 1984 Roger Ebert had seen his fair share of Plucky Youngster Moves to The Big City to Make it Big Time plotlines.

It's a nod to the several Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland movie musicals that were roughly the same plot, such as Babes on Broadway.

Interesting. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's OK to make a new muppet version of a plot that was popular circa 40 years ago. Which, incidentally, means we're about due for yet another iteration, unless Sing counts?
And yes, I assumed Ebert was talking about the generic "plucky young person goes to make it big in the big city" plotline, but he's very specific about it being college graduates bringing their senior musical to broadway, which is what I found weird.

Ms Markle's comments came when she joined her fiance and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at a forum staged to celebrate the work of the Royal Foundation, which the US actress will officially join following her May wedding.
The Suits star is committed to gender equality and empowering women through her work as a women's advocate for the UN and she quickly highlighted the issue during the event, saying in light of the campaigns there was no better time to highlight "women feeling empowered and people really helping to support them".
During the forum – the first official event attended by William, Kate, Harry and Meghan – the prince described his bride-to-be as a welcome addition, saying it was positive they now had "four different personalities" at the Foundation.
Under the theme Making A Difference Together, the event in central London showcased programmes run or initiated by the Royal Foundation, launched by William and Harry in 2011 as the main vehicle to pursue their charitable and philanthropic interests.
Their projects have included the Heads Together mental health campaign, the Invictus Games for wounded and injured military and veterans, and the United For Wildlife initiative.
During a question and answer session, Ms Markle said she had "just been here for three months", but added later: "I think right now in the climate we are seeing so many campaigns, I mean Me Too and Time's Up, and there is no better time than to really continue to shine a light on women feeling empowered and people really helping to support them – men included in that. I mean, it makes such a tremendous difference.
In 2015, the then UN secretary general Bahn-Ki Moon joined a standing ovation for Ms Markle after she made a speech on International Women's Day as UN Women's Advocate for Women's Leadership & Political Participation.
The Suits star, who was dressed in a Jason Wu outfit, said she had already been working "quietly behind the scenes" but refused to give any details.
While his bride-to-be was championing women's issues, Harry signalled that he was focusing some of his efforts on tackling youth violence.
Harry told the audience of Foundation supporters, programme partners and beneficiaries that it was imperative they found the cause of problems and gave the example of knife crime which he has asked staff at the Royal Foundation to look into.
He added they were now talking to young people about the issu, saying: "In reality, knife crime is a symptom of a cause so therefore go and speak to the young people, which we're doing, speak to those communities and actually listen to what they think the problems are.
The foursome looked at ease on the stage where they chatted with host BBC presenter and Radio 1 newsreader Tina Daheley.
Kate who has been involved with a number of organisations supporting children in their early years said her own parenting had been influenced by her charity work.
He added: "William, Catherine and I are privileged to be able to create and support initiatives that shine a light on causes that are locally and globally relevant, and deeply important to us.
In her address Kate echoed the worlds of William, who opened the event with a speech, saying they were working for the long term.
The duchess said: "Since our roles are lifetime roles, our commitment to the work we do through the Foundation is genuinely long-term.

The impressive Botanic Garden in Meise, just outside the north of Brussels, is a 92 hectare park where one can discover more than 18.000 species of plants. The greenhouse is one of the largest in Europe. To say that a walk through this beautiful park and massive collection is a journey to discover, would be an understatement. You'll certainly need more than a couple of days to just see all the species. If you really want to discover all of what this garden has to offer, I suggest you set up camp for at least a full week.

The Utica College woman's hockey team started off their season with two dominated wins over SUNY Canton at the Utica Memorial Auditorium.

The Pioneers defeated the Kangaroos on Saturday by a score of 4–1. They followed up their strong performance with another on Sunday beating the Kangaroos 6–3.
Head coach Dave Clausen was very excited about his team's performance over the weekend.
In the Pioneers' first matchup junior Gabrielle Schnepp scored a team high two goals. Senior Morgan Reed and sophomore Carlie Smith also contributed goals of their own.
The Pioneers were able to capitalize on three of the four power play opportunities they had. SUNY Canton was held to 0 for 5 on their power play chances.
Junior Keira Goin also had an impressive outing between the pipes recording 25 saves. Goin was encouraged by her team's performance and hopes to continue her strong play in goal.
"My personal goal is to give my team a better chance to win each individual game than I did last year," Goin said.
Utica College looked to carry the momentum from its first game into its second matchup with SUNY Canton in as many days.
The Pioneers cruised past the Kangaroos with a 6-3 win on Sunday afternoon.
Utica College was led in scoring by senior Janessa Haasbeek with two goals.
As one of only two seniors on this year's team, Haasbeek looks to lead this team of fresh faces to success on and off of the ice.
"My main personal goals are just to help the team do whatever is necessary to be successful and be a leader both on and off the ice, as we have a fairly young group of girls this year," Haasbeek said.
Additional goals were also contributed by Reed, Schnepp, junior Emily Coope and freshman Lauren Patterson.
The Pioneers were able to take advantage of three of their seven power play opportunities while SUNY Canton only went 1 for 5.
In her first collegiate action, sophomore Amanda Lupo kept 21 shots from getting by her.
This year's team is loaded with new faces including 21 members of the freshman class.
Freshman Maria Christou is very excited for what her team's future.
The Pioneers have many goals for this season and hope to keep their winning streak going.
After the strong start to the season the Pioneers sit at 2-0 and look to improve that record when they face ECAC West opponent William Smith College. The Pioneers host the Herons on their home ice on Saturday at 2 p.m. The Pioneers will then travel to Geneva, New York on Sunday for a 4 p.m. for another matchup against the Herons.

We have a winner in the member for Bonner. It was 1989. What else happened in 1989? Bob Hawke was the Prime Minister. It was the last time a federal Labor government delivered a budget surplus. Can you imagine how many voters have been born since 1989 who can vote at the next election who have never seen federal Labor deliver a budget surplus at the federal level? Last night, the Treasurer of Australia, Josh Frydenberg, delivered a surplus for Australia and its people. It's the first surplus budget since 2007. It demonstrates how strong the economy is. It demonstrates what we are doing to drive jobs, particularly into the regions. We've delivered over a million jobs—as we said we would. So this side of the House is delivering for the Australian people. We are building on a stronger economy, particularly in the regions.
Inside the budget, we have opportunities for those in my electorate. There are 12,182 small and medium sized businesses in Hinkler which will benefit from the government's instant asset write-off, which we've increased to $30,000. As one of those on this side who have run a small business, I know that that helps you with cash flow. It gives you the capacity to buy these items and write them off in the first year. That means a stronger bottom line and more confidence. More confidence in small business means more employment—and that's what we're all about.
We've dropped the unemployment rate across the country in the time we've been in government. We're back in the black in terms of the budget last night. Those opposite will destroy the economy with a $200 billion tax hammer that will destroy all of the work that we've done to turn around their terrible economic management when they were in government. There is an opportunity for the Australian people. It is coming up. It'll be a stark choice between us and them. I say vote for the Liberal-National Party.

Katie Joplin is an American sitcom created by Tom Seeley and Norm Gunzenhauser that aired for one season on The WB Television Network (The WB) from August to September 1999. Park Overall stars as the title character, a single mother who moves from Knoxville to Philadelphia and tries to balance her job as a radio program host with parenting her teenage son Greg (Jesse Head). Supporting characters include Katie's niece Liz Berlin (Ana Reeder) as well as her co-workers, played by Jay Thomas, Jim Rash, and Simon Rex. Majandra Delfino guest-starred in three episodes as the daughter of the radio station's general manager.

Warner Bros. Television produced the series, and its premise was developed from a pitch that Overall gave to The WB. The network initially optioned the show as a potential mid-season replacement for the 1998–1999 television season, but it was delayed for a year due to production issues. Production on Katie Joplin was halted in October 1998 because The WB and Warner Bros. Television were disappointed with its development.

Katie Joplin received the lowest ratings for any original program The WB aired in its time slot. Before the show's premiere, The WB already decided to cancel it, feeling it would not connect with a younger demographic. Only five episodes aired, although seven were filmed. Critics recommended Katie Joplin prior to its premiere, and the delay in its airing was a subject of discussion. Retrospective reviews of the series were negative and focused on its short run.

Premise and characters

The series follows Katie Joplin (Park Overall), a single mother to her 14-year-old son Greg (Jesse Head). While living in Knoxville, she is disappointed with her job in a bottling plant, where she works 16 hours a day. She moves to Philadelphia, to track down her estranged husband Jerry and find a new job. Katie's niece Liz Berlin (Ana Reeder) allows her and Greg to live in her loft on a temporary basis. Liz is an editor at a popular fashion magazine, and television historians Tim Brooks and Earle F. Marsh described her as a fashion plate. Katie first works for the Crescent Corset Company and later Car City, while her son attends Benjamin Franklin High School.

Katie makes a positive first impression with WLBP-FM's general manager Glen Shotz (Jay Thomas) while trying to sell him a car. Thomas approached his character from a sympathetic viewpoint; he explained: "I'm trying to make this guy more human than any general manager I've ever had." Brooks and Marsh wrote Katie impressed Glen with her "perception, Southern wit, and strong opinions" and said she received a job to host a phone-in radio program because of her "out-spoken nature". Episodes are often about Katie's attempt to balance her career and her relationship with her son. Head said that he shared several characteristics with Greg, explaining that they both come from small towns and enjoy "the music and baggy pants".

During her six-hour overnight show, entitled The Katie Joplin Show, Katie gives advice on love to her listeners. Program director Mitchell Tuit (Jim Rash) dislikes her as he opposes a talk show airing on his primarily rock and roll station. In an attempt to sabotage the program, he pairs her with the inexperienced producer Tiger French (Simon Rex). The Malay Mail Marina Abdul Ghani wrote that Katie quickly becomes popular with listeners because she can get "right to the heart of the matter".

Glen has a teenage daughter, Sara Shotz (Majandra Delfino), out-of-wedlock and has not talked to her in years. During the show, he has a wife who recently gave birth to twins. Upon Katie's encouragement, Glen reconnects with Sara, and spoils her and hires her as a receptionist despite her incompetence. Sara treats Glen respectfully after he disciplines her, and she moves in with him. An episode focuses on Sara and Tiger secretly dating.

Production and broadcast history
Tom Seeley and Norm Gunzenhauser created Katie Joplin and were its executive producers. Author Richard Irvin wrote that it was similar to the sitcom Murphy Brown, which was also produced by Seeley and Gunzenhauser. Katie Joplin premise was developed in 1998 and based on a pitch that Overall made to The WB during a presentation. She said the series "brings the mountain spirit and mountain wisdom to the city of brotherly love", and described its tone as "very upbeat (and) very odd". Warner Bros. Television produced the series, which was filmed in front of a studio audience.

The WB Television Network (The WB) had originally optioned Katie Joplin as a mid-season replacement for the 1998–1999 television season. The network had considered it along with Zoe, Duncan, Jack and Jane, Baby Blues, and Movie Stars for its Sunday line-up. It was delayed to 1999 due to unspecified production issues. The WB and Warner Bros. Television were disappointed with the series, and stopped production in October 1998. Katie Joplin was developed under four working titles: You're With Kate, You're on With Kate, Untitled Park Overall Project, and Citizen Kate.

Katie Joplin premiered on August 9, 1999, and the final episode aired on September 6, 1999. Seven episodes were filmed, although only five aired. The series carried a TV-PG rating for suggestive dialogue and coarse or crude language. Broadcast on Monday nights at 9:30 pm EST, each episode lasts 30 minutes with commercials. Katie Joplin received the lowest ratings for any original WB program that aired in the time slot. When discussing these low ratings, The Washington Post columnist Lisa de Moraes wrote: "Maybe they should've let a couple of people know they were running it." In 2016, Irvin listed Katie Joplin in his book  Forgotten Laughs: An Episode Guide to 150 TV Sitcoms You Probably Never Saw.

Overall learned The WB canceled Katie Joplin while promoting the sitcom Ladies Man; she said: "I think that's pretty rude. Honey, they didn't even call me to tell me they were canceling it!" According to Overall, The WB decided to cancel the series months before it aired as they did not believe it could attract a young demographic. Rob Owen, while writing for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, said Katie Joplin was scheduled for a "short run", and Times Leader Norma Cavazos described it as a "summer series". de Moraes considered it an example of burning off, a practice in which a television network airs an already-canceled show as filler.

Episodes

Critical reception
Prior to its debut, Katie Joplin was recommended by critics from TV Guide, The News Journal, The Arizona Republic, and the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Rob Owen believed the series would appeal to fans of Overall who was well-known for her role on the sitcom Empty Nest.

Some reviewers commented on the delay with the show's airing. David Bianculli, while writing for Fort Worth Star-Telegram, said both Katie Joplin and the CBS sitcom Thanks were not "deemed worthy of consideration for their respective networks' fall schedules". A Dayton Daily News reviewer questioned The WB's decision, and wondered "perhaps they want us to decide for ourselves just why that might be". The writer highlighted Thomas's casting as the main reason for their "curiosity about what might have gone wrong here".

Retrospective reviews of the series were negative. In 2000, Mediaweek's Marc Berman discussed how since the early 1990s, television networks became increasingly interested in summer programming. Berman identified Northern Exposure and Melrose Place as successful instances of shows premiering in the summer, and criticized Katie Joplin as a failure because of its short run. The same year, journalist Josh Chetwynd cited it in USA Today while doing an overview of The WB and UPN on the fifth anniversary of their launches. He singled out Katie Joplin as one of The WB's "big bombs" based on its quick cancelation. In a 2011 Radio World article, Stephen Winzenburg discussed it as a part of his larger question about why television shows about radio have limited success and longevity.  He criticized the show's premise, believing it was unrealistic for a middle-aged woman to be hired as a radio host without any prior experience. Winzenburg also considered the featured radio station (87.5 FM) to be an unlikely dial position.
