CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — At 27, Clayton Holton of Rochester is 5 feet 11 but weighs only 66 pounds.
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — At 27, Clayton Holton of Rochester is 5 feet 11 but weighs only 66 pounds.
Holton suffers from a rare form of muscular dystrophy that causes wasting syndrome and complete muscle loss. He's been in a wheelchair since he was 10. He struggles even to eat.
Six years ago, he ended up in a hospital and then a nursing home where he was given Oxycontin. Then friends helped him visit California, where medical use of marijuana is legal. He started using it for pain relief, and he gained eight pounds.
Now, when he needs relief, he reaches for marijuana.
"When I have it, I am able to keep my appetite up and take a lot less opiate painkillers than without it," he said.
That isn't always possible given the drug's illegal status, but Holton and others in New Hampshire who say marijuana eases chronic pain and other debilitating health issues have new hope. Gov. John Lynch's vetoes stymied lawmakers' approval of medicinal marijuana in recent years, but with the new governor's blessing, the state could become the 19th to legalize the use of the drug.
The issue has widespread support in the Legislature. Both earlier bills restricted distribution only to people with debilitating or terminal medical conditions, and there is consensus that whatever model is adopted must have strict controls on access to the drug.
Four years ago when she was a state senator, Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan voted to override one of the vetoes, which legalized the use of marijuana with a doctor's prescription. She still supports tightly controlled, medicinal use of marijuana, spokesman Marc Goldberg said.
Last year, another bill passed that allowed individuals to grow a limited amount of marijuana for medicinal use in a secure location. Again, Lynch vetoed it, and a bipartisan group of senators failed to muster the votes to override Lynch's veto to send it to the House for a vote.
One new bill would allow up to five alternative treatment centers to dispense marijuana to patients as well as allow patients to grow small amounts for personal use, or to designate a caregiver to grow it for them. Both options are needed because access to a dispensary might be difficult and more expensive for some, said the bill's prime sponsor, state Rep. Donna Schlachman, an Exeter Democrat.
Senate Republican Leader Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro said his position has changed over time to supporting legalizing medicinal uses if it is tightly controlled. He favors the dispensary model with tight controls on who gets the drug to avoid abuse.
"If I had to bet money, I'd say something probably passes, but I wouldn't bet a lot of money. It will be close," said Senate President Peter Bragdon of Milford.
A bill will reach Hassan, House Democratic Leader Steve Shurtleff of Concord believes.
"We want to make sure everybody with an ache or a pain doesn't get" access to the drug, he said.
But even with Hassan's support, passage of a medicinal marijuana law still faces obstacles.
Law enforcement agencies have concerns about the difficulty of controlling cultivation and distribution of legalized marijuana. Lynch sided with their opposition with his vetoes.
The drug has not been subjected to the rigorous scientific examination as medicines approved by the Food and Drug Administration, said Enfield Police Chief Richard Crate, speaking for the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police.
Even if New Hampshire legalized its use, federal laws ban its use and distribution, he said.
The Justice Department has not targeted recreational marijuana users for decades and instead uses its limited resources to go after major drug traffickers. The U.S. attorney for New Hampshire, John Kacavas, announced four years ago he would adhere to federal guidelines that targeting people who use or provide medical marijuana in strict compliance with state laws was not a good use of their time.
Despite patients' worries, Crate says police are not arresting sick marijuana users who are discreet.
"We're not arresting patients in their homes," he said.
The method of how to distribute the drug is also up for debate.
Crate worries that could send a message to young people who are not sick but may feel the drug has government's approval. And he fears legalizing medicinal use will lead to decriminalizing the drug.
The sponsors' "intentions are to help people. But there is a larger group ... and their goal is to legalize marijuana for recreational use and this is one way to start the process," he said.

The following is a user-submitted list of PCB manufacturers. Your results may vary.
- This page lists "board houses" that take your custom PCB layout file and convert it to a custom printed circuit board (PCB) (ready for the next step: "assembly" adding parts). For "standard" prototyping PCBs, see stripboard and other techniques.
The Ladyada PCB Cost Comparison Calculator[1] is a quick way to compare the (very roughly estimated) price of your board at many of the following fabs.
(FIXME: briefly mention the most relevant "capabilities": "preferred" and "minimum" trace width / spacing / via hole size / via pad diameter. Link directly to the manufacturer's "capability page" so readers can confirm these numbers for themselves. Boards that push the limit of manufacturability cost more than robustly designed boards that use preferred sizes.) For more details, see Submitting PCB's for fabrication.)

Wide range of capabilities, price depends on exact specifications. Instance online quote.
Sunstone's own free (proprietary) schematic and PCB layout software -- easy to use, but you are locked into using their service unless you're willing to pay $50 for gerber files from them. Integration with ordering system simplifies the process of ordering boards. Unrestricted design size, live quoting of diki-key parts withing the bill of materials view.
All orders submitted before noon ship the next day. UPS ground shipping is free. Since they are located in the Portland, OR area this means you can get a board overnight to most places in the Northwest US.
Basic service is a two layer board routed to any size and shape. Two 9 sq inch boards for $63 (including shipping). Soldermask and silkscreen doubles the price.
EAGLE CAM export and design rule check scripts are provided.
PCBexpress is apparently a division of Sunstone Circuits Quickturn service.
5 Boards for $60 ($12 ea. for 10 sq. inches) with a 5 day turn time. Good quality work, but turn times can be delayed if you have to correct any issues that don't meet their specs.
AP Circuits
2 boards, 2 layers next day shipping for as low as 7.95 each. or 2 boards, 2 layers, 2 solder masks and legend one side for as low as 9.95 each. 3 Day Service
Online quotes at http://www.apcircuits.com/ap/calculator
Full CNC contour routing including plated slotting, oversize holes, internal cutouts for a modest fee
Instructions for creating Gerber and NC output from many popular PCB programs are also on this site.
4 2 layer boards for $19.89 each. Great prices for production board runs. Helpful staff.
preferred: (FIXME:)
- minimum 0.004" (0.1 mm) trace/space
- minimum finished hole size: 0.008" (0.2 mm)
- Very low cost quick turn proto promo prices too
Free proprietary schematic and layout software, used for all board services (like PCB123). Simplifies the process of getting a board done and out, by vertically integrating the design and production flow. Fewer options and less power, but fewer ways to screw up.
- Good deal on small prototypes: Mini-Board Service (3 identical boards, 2.5" X 3.8", doublesided, plated through, no silkscreen or soldermask) is priced well at $51 total, plus $10 shipping. Orders placed by 2PM ET ship the next business day by 2nd Day Air.
- Capabilities(inches) Production: Minimum trace width: 0.006". Minimum clearance: 0.006", preferred 0.010" . Perimeter clearance: 0.015", suggested 0.025". Holes - 23 sizes: 0.014"(via only), 0.020" - 0.251". Minimum Hole Spacing: 0.021" between edges. Vias/holes: 0.031"/0.014" -0.115"/0.052" . Pads/holes(round/square): 0.041"/.020" - 0.450"/0.251" . SMT: 0.010"x.070" - 0.420"x0.420" BGA: 0.012" - 0.020" .
- Software features: SCH netchecks. PCB imports PADS netlists, and illuminates nets nodes to assist in connection. Built-in updated price quotes for all offered board services. Copy to clipboard available for schematic & silkscreen+pads(layers must be screen-captured.) Pretty good selection of components, pads, symbols, for free.
- Notes: No Gerber support. Primitive single-level undo/redo. No PCB footprint selection/placement wizard from SCH info. No autorouting. SCH generates BOM, but PCB can't back-annotate (frustrating because most PCB footprints have Digikey part#s.) No net-based vendor integration. No scripting or plugins integration. Not enough keyboard shortcuts, uneditable.
- Review: The company is responsive and responsible. The Mini-Board service is addictively cheap and fast, and the other proto and production services are good, if not the cheapest option. Board quality is high; fine traces held up perfectly. The software is stable and simple, but tedious work for high parts-count or high-density boards.
- Conclusion: The sweet spot for ExpressPCB is sparse, simple, quickly-designed boards, at low and very high quantities. At any other density or complexity, might as well learn and use Eagle or KiCAD.
Fast turnaround (~8days + shipping), instant online quotes. $30 tooling fee, under $2/sq in.

Aaron Gell, the fifth editor in chief of the New York Observer under owner Jared Kushner, has left the paper.
"Working for the Observer has been the best experience of my career," he wrote in an e-mail Wednesday afternoon to Observer reporters and friends. "I credit that to all of you, especially, but also to [former Observer eic] Peter [Kaplan] and all the writers and editors who passed through and helped create a newspaper that despite, ahem, everything has remained such a special place to work. It has been an absolute blast." Kaplan is now the editorial director of Fairchild Fashion Group.
Gell's departure was assumed after he was passed over two weeks ago for the editor in chief position for Ken Kurson, a personal friend of Kushner's who has more recently been involved in political consulting.
RELATED STORY: New York Observer Taps New Editor in Chief >>
Kushner invited Gell to stay on, though with the title he held previously, executive editor. At Kurson's first staff meeting, Gell said he was "thrilled" to have been asked to stay on, but staffers weren't sure of his plans.
A week later, he had a vague title in masthead: editorial development.
Gell succeeded Elizabeth Spiers when she left in August, just the latest eic Kushner has gone through in his seven years as owner. A former senior editor at W and Radar magazines, Gell came to the salmon-colored weekly in 2010 and was known for nurturing young reporters who, in true Observer fashion, later left for better-paying publications.
Upon taking over, he told staff the post wasn't temporary, and despite a shoe-string budget and frequent defections, Gell managed to draw back some old Observer hands, like George Gurley. Under his watch, the paper covered major stories with characteristic charm — the lead feature the week Hurricane Sandy struck, written by Gell, carried the headline, "New York to Sandy: 'Blow Me.'"
He wrote he'll now be consulting for a start-up, though he didn't offer details. Kurson is not the only personal associate Kushner has brought to the Observer. This week, he installed Joseph Meyer as cep of the Observer Media Group. In addition to his background in hedge funds, Meyer is also Kushner's brother in law, married to his sister Nicole.
There have been no radical changes in Kurson's short run so far. He lost a real estate reporter, Matt Chaban to Crain's, according to Capital New York, and cut an online column on public relations by Drew Kerr, a colleague of Gell's from their days at Radar. The lead feature this week is on escorts.
At a recent party at the house of violinist Joshua Bell, WWD asked Kushner about the recent changes and his hopes for Kurson's version of the Observer. Kushner said he preferred to let the paper speak for itself and declined to speak to a reporter. He just wanted to enjoy the music. "The press," he said, "just blows things out of proportion."

I know that most of the foreign beers and lagers brands are now brewed under license in the UK, but surely that isn't reason enough for them to all taste the same!
After much deliberation, I opted for a six pack of the recently launched Foster's Gold. This premium version of the Australian classic was launched (by owners Heineken) to go head to head with the big players in the bottled beer sector, Stella Artois and Budweiser.
Foster's Gold is being aimed at 18 to 24 male consumers as a beer with a more upmarket image to drink in mixed social groups, (I take it they mean parties), The beer is bottled at 4.8 % ABV and is packed in 300ml clear glass bottles with embossed logos and minimal labelling.
I was wary of this new trendy bottled lager, mainly because I'm outside of the target demographic as well as the fact that i was never a big fan of regular Foster's, but I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and refreshing Foster's gold was.
Golden amber in colour with a light carbonation, Foster's Gold was very easy to drink. The thick embossed bottle looks very professional and based on looks alone, it could easily win a beauty contest if up against Stella.
Every year new beers appear on the shelves of the local off-license trying to muscle in for a slice of a multi-million pound industry, and now for the first time in quite a while, there is a bottle that could give the big boys a run for their money! Since it's launch last July, it has already secured the spot of 4th most sold bottle beers in the UK, lets see how that changes with the BBQ season just about to start.
Foster's Gold is only going to be available to buy from the off license, currently there are no plans to make Gold available in the pubs yet. This is a bit of a shame as I think it would do very well as competition to the aforementioned lagers that are already available on a night out.

I recently posted some pictures on Facebook of different things I am working on for Archer's nursery, and several of my friends have been singing my craft praises. They are totally and woefully undeserved, I can assure you! But I appreciate the sweet words!
Here are just a couple of the projects I have going or have recently completed for his room... (Pardon my photography skills- or lack thereof!)
|Not really a project, but Cole and I found a topographical globe at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore this morning for $7!!! We thought it would go really well in his room!
|This is an ugly brass lamp that we found at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore for $6. My plan is to spray paint it a gloss red, then get a drum shade and cover the shade with the same fabric as his bed skirt is... You may remember that we are making his bed skirt out of these sheets.
|I did a little pinterest project for Archer and Ava last week, and made them both some new closet dividers. These are the ones for his room. I think they turned out pretty cute! They only work if you have the rod style closet system (not wire) but it is a cheap and fun project, not to mention useful! You can find the tutorial here. I just used a sharpie paint pen to write the sizes on, instead of stickers. But either way works!
|Wreath? (obviously a less pink version!)

Graduation Frame Features Message, Tassel or Diploma Holder
Frames for Graduates - Tassel Holders & Disploma Displays
Graduates of high school, training programs, and college love our extensive selection of graduation-themed picture frames. Each display features a place for either a portrait of the graduate or the graduation certficate itself. Some models even feature a tassel holder for those that wear a cap and gown during the ceremony. Other frame selections actually have an inscribed "graduation" message that clearly states the purpose of the display. No matter which style is chosen, the framing will give the user a feeling of accomplishment that can be shared with family and friends.
Where are these types of themed frames generally displayed?
Although most people tend to put up their graduation portraits and diplomas in their homes, many people at other locations have the need to show that they have received certain certification. Doctors' offices commonly have some type of diploma documenting each staff member's specialty or area of expertise. Accountants and law offices often do the same thing with their special documents. No matter where these graduate-themed frames are hung, they are sure to get the attention of visitors. Don't leave patients, clients, or even family members in the dark about your accomplishments. Let everyone know by hanging up one of these unique and practical diploma displays.

Photo Detector ICs Made Easy with X-FAB
X-FAB is the first foundry to offer a ready-to-use PDIC IP for data storage. With the highest ever reported sensitivity for 408 nm, X-FAB offers a ready-to-use solution for its fabless customers. We are providing support for multiple wavelengths being used in products such as CD, DVD and Blu-ray drives. The provided IP blocks are optimized to support different product generations.
Photo Detector IC - Block Diagram
Photo Detector IC (PDIC) for Data Storage
The PDIC is part of the optical pick up unit of CD, DVD and Blu-ray data storage drives. It detects the signals reflected from the disk surface. The signals are amplified available at the outputs of the PDIC.
Double layer media, fast rotating speed generate high requirements for the signal detection and the amplification. Weak signals need a good combination of high sensitive photo diodes and high gain low noise trans impedance amplifiers (TIA) to get a high signal to noise ratio. Temperature dependency has to be very low.
Reading and writing at different speeds give different signals back. The support of several gains is necessary for the TIA. In case of supporting combined three wavelength systems for Blu-ray, DVD and CD a good sensitivity for blue light 405nm, red light 650nm for DVD and infrared light at 780nm for CD is necessary.
PIN Diode
Photo diodes have to be high sensitive and need a high bandwidth to support up to12x Blue-ray speed. In addition to the new Blu-ray standard which uses a wavelength of 405nm the legacy DVD (650nm) and CD (780nm) have to be supported too.
Highly sensitive PIN diodes are available as characterized devices in the technologies XB06 and XO035.
PIN Diode
The PIN diodes dpinb in XB06 and XO035 are optimized for blue light and can be used for single Blu-ray PDIC or combined Blu-ray/DVD/CD sensors.
- Highest sensitivity for blue light (0.3A/W @ 405nm)
- High sensitivity at 650nm and 780nm
- High bandwidth
- Low dark current
TIA – Trans Impedance Amplifier
A selection of low noise, high frequency bipolar (XB06) and CMOS transistors can be used to design trans impedance amplifiers supporting high bandwidth, high signal to noise ratios and low temperature dependencies.
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
Depending on requirements Analog Digital Converters can be designed by using the standard core or additional modules for reduced noise, trimming devices or memory.
The use of junction isolated devices makes the ADC design robust versus substrate noise. Zener zaps and fuses are available for trimming of parameters like offset during wafer probing or final test. Several robust ADCs (SAR until 10Bit) can be selected from X-FABs analog standard cell library.
Logic Control
Different digital libraries optimized for speed, low power, low noise and low threshold are available for all of X-FAB's process technologies allowing optimized designs. For low noise/low leakage applications special junction isolated digital libraries can be used. To store firmware for controller or other data a portfolio of non-volatile memories can be used. Unique to X-FAB is the possibility to use EEPROM and FLASH on the same chip. Hard- and software co-design allows fast, reliable and flexible creation of memory cells.
PC Interface
There are I/O libraries for core or pad limited designs available. For applications that require a high ESD protection special high ESD resistance I/O libraries can be selected. RF I/Os supporting different metal layers allow flexible designs. Special high-voltage I/Os are also selectable.

The Food Babe has attacked us where it hurts: right in our favorite "unique grocery store."
There are a lot of issues in her inflammatory article blasting Trader Joe's, but it does upset me quite a bit that TJ's won't respond to her requests to verify its claims to be entirely non-GMO. Whole Foods was third-party verified. Why not Trader Joe's??
I'm taking back the soy sauce I thought I bought safely last week. Grrrr.
Of course, anybody who blindly shops at Trader Joe's assuming everything is "healthy" is not paying attention. Sadly, we can never stop reading labels, people. Trader Joe's has plenty of junk food on the shelves; plenty of HFCS, and artificial flavors and colors, and chemicals and additives and generally the kind of thing you'd want to avoid.
Trader Joe's deal is that they're inexpensive for "gourmet" or exotic products. That's it.
They're not necessarily healthy, they're not necessarily organic, and they're not free-pass shopping.
While you read the article, here's a few things to keep in mind:
- Her photo shows Joe's O's next to Cheerio's. Even my toddlers knew this wasn't true. Cheerio's are more dense and less salty than Joe's O's. They don't look or taste the same. No way that's the same cereal. So that's just a mistake right there. Makes you wonder – is there other speculation in the article? Is she just flat out guessing?
- She lists Barbara's Bakery as "likely" to contain GMOs. I recently contacted Barbara's because we buy so many of their cereals, and received written confirmation that they've been working towards third party verification of non-GMO status (from the Non GMO Project). Their Shredded Oats are already verified (along with 16 other products – I've seen the Non GMO Project seal on several lately), and they hope to have all cereals verified before the end of the year. So she's vilifies them without bothering to check her facts…wonder how many others in her "bad" list were actually checked out?
- The whole article is basically a "he said, she said" between Trader Joe and the Food Babe. TJ's website has a statement about their company policy to be GMO free in TJ label products. Food Babe asked for further verification; TJ's refuses to pay for third parties to do so. I wish they would, but if you want to just believe Trader Joe's isn't hiding anything, you can. She hasn't proved that they're hiding anything, she's assuming they are.
Anyway, check out the article and leave me (or Food Babe) a comment to let me know what you think. Are you a devoted TJ's shopper? Or are you suspicious?

Genius Yoga Pants Prank Leaves Men Horribly Embarrassed
It ain't easy being a woman.
That's what the man at the center of this video learned firsthand. He put on a pair of tight leggings and leaned over the trunk of his car to see how many guys walking by would check out his keester, thinking he was actually a woman.
Well, the joke was definitely on these guys, who were stunned -- and angry -- when they realized they'd been duped.
The moral? Don't judge a book by its cover -- or, in this case, its back cover.

The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples of Christ
BY Rev. Andrew Murray
Chapter 38 Assurance of Faith
"Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able also to perform" kjv@Romans:4:20-21.
"My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and truth. Hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him" kjv@1John:3:18-19.
"And hereby we know that He abideth in us, by the Spirit which He bath given us" kjv@1John:3:24.
Every child of God needs the assurance of faith--the full certainty of faith--that the Lord has received him and made him His child. The Holy Scriptures always speak to Christians as those who know that they are redeemed and as those who know they are now children of God and have received eternal life.1 How can a child love or serve his father while he is uncertain whether his father will really acknowledge him as a child? We have already spoken on this point in a previous chapter--but often, by ignorance or distrust, a Christian again comes into darkness. For this reason, we will now deal with it once again with a set purpose.
Scripture names three things by which we have our certainty. First, there is faith in the Word. After that, there are works. And then, in and with both of these, there is the Holy Spirit.
First, faith in the Word. Abraham is to us the great example of faith and of the assurance of faith. And what then says the Scripture about the certainty that he had? He was fully assured that what God had promised He was also able to perform. His expectation was only from God, and what God had promised. He relied upon God to do what He had said. The promise of God was for him his only, but sufficient, assurance of faith.2
There are many young Christians who think that faith in the Word is not sufficient to give full assurance. They would gladly have something more. They imagine that assurance--a sure inward feeling or conviction--is what is given above or outside of faith. This is wrong. As I have need of nothing more than the word of a trustworthy man to give me complete certainty, so must the Word of God be my assurance. People err because they seek something in themselves and in their feeling. No, the whole of salvation comes from God. The soul must not be occupied with itself or its work, but with God. He who forgets himself to hear what God says, and to rely on His promise as something worthy of credit, has the fullest assurance of faith.3 He does not doubt the promises but is strong in faith. He gives God the glory and is fully assured that what was promised, God is also able to perform.
Then the Scripture also names works--by unfeigned love we will assure our hearts.4 Carefully observe this--assurance by faith in the promise, without works, comes first. The godless man who receives grace knows this only from the Word. But then, later on, assurance is to follow from works. "By works was faith made perfect" ( kjv@James:2:22).5 The tree is planted in faith, without fruits. But when the time of fruit arrives, and no fruit appears, then I may doubt. At the outset, the more clearly I hold the assurance of faith on the Word alone--without works--the more certainly works will follow.
And both assurance by faith and by works come by the Spirit. A child of God has the heavenly certification that he is the Lord's.6 This comes, not by the Word alone, and not by works as something that he does himself, but by the Word as the instrument of the Spirit and by works as the fruit of the Spirit.
Let us believe in Jesus as our life and abide in Him, and assurance of faith will never be lacking in us.
Father, teach me to find my assurance of faith in a life with You, in a cordial reliance upon Your promises, and in cordial obedience to Your commands. Let Your Holy Spirit also witness with my spirit that I am a child of God. Amen.
Footnotes1) ( kjv@Deuteronomy:26:17-18 kjv@Isaiah:44:5 kjv@Galatians:4:7 kjv@1John:5:12) 2) ( kjv@John:3:33 kjv@John:5:24 kjv@Acts:27:25 kjv@Romans:4:21-22 kjv@1John:5:10-11) 3) ( kjv@Numbers:23:19 kjv@Psalms:89:35 kjv@Isaiah:54:9) 4) ( kjv@1John:3:18-19) 5) ( kjv@John:15:10 kjv@John:15:14 kjv@Galatians:5:6 kjv@1John:3:14) 6) ( kjv@John:4:13 kjv@Romans:8:13-14 kjv@1John:3:24) Notes
1. The importance of the assurance of faith lies in the fact that I cannot possibly love or serve, as a child, a God of whom I do not know whether He loves and acknowledges me as His child.
2. The whole Bible is one great proof for the assurance of faith. Just because it speaks of itself so, it is not always regarded as such. Abraham and Moses knew that God had redeemed them--for this reason they had to serve God. How much more must this be the case in the greater redemption of the New Testament? All the Epistles are written to men of whom it is presupposed that they know and confess that they are redeemed, holy children of God.
3. Faith and obedience are inseparable, as root and fruit. First, there must be the root, and it must have time to be without fruit. Then later on the fruits come. First, assurance without fruits by living faith in the Word. Then, further assurance from fruits. It is in a life with Jesus that assurance of faith is exalted firmly above all doubt.
4. Assurance of faith is helped by confession. What I express becomes for me more evident. I am bound to confirm it.
5. It is at the feet of Jesus, looking up into His friendly countenance, listening to His loving promises, in fellowship with Jesus Himself in prayer, that all doubtfulness of mind falls away. Go there for the full assurance of faith.

| 5.5°C Belfast
Norwich are still searching for their first Barclays Premier League win after West Ham battled to a 0-0 draw at Carrow Road.
Chris Hughton's men enjoyed the better of the first half, and felt they should have been awarded a penalty when James Collins upended Andrew Surman, but referee Chris Foy correctly ruled the challenge was just outside the area.
West Ham also had their chances, with Carlton Cole's early chance blocked and John Ruddy saving from Kevin Nolan.
West Ham made the first clear opening after 13 minutes when Ricardo Vaz Te got away down the right and his cross was headed goalwards by Cole, but Russell Martin knocked it off the line, with Matt Taylor lashing the loose rebound wide.
Norwich felt they should have been awarded a penalty when Robert Snodgrass weaved in from the right and was blocked by Nolan as he cut back inside - but, in a sign of things to come, referee Foy was having none of it.
The Irons skipper then almost put his side ahead when he got on the end of Joey O'Brien's cross after the full-back's strong run down the Norwich left, but England keeper John Ruddy made a smart reaction save.
West Ham then produced a series of blocks and saves by Jussi Jaaskelainen from the resulting corner to turn away successive efforts from Snodgrass, Sebastien Bassong, Grant Holt and Andrew Surman.
Foy again incurred the wrath of the home crowd four minutes before half-time. Surman was upended by Collins as he darted into the penalty box, but the Merseyside official correctly ruled the clumsy challenge had taken place just inches outside the line.
Snodgrass just off target with a low effort, and Bradley Johnson shot straight at the keeper before at the other end Matt Jarvis, signed from Wolves in a £7million deal, saw his shot blocked after a quick break into the Norwich half following a poor throw-in.
Then in stoppage time, Harry Kane was played in on the overlap after a quick break, but scuffed a tame effort straight at the keeper.

Directors Guild of America President Taylor Hackford today unveiled the august body's list of nominees for its top prize today, doing nothing really to change the outlook for this year's Oscars.
"2011 marks the 75th anniversary of the DGA, making the celebration of this year's five nominees especially meaningful," said Hackford. "Their inspired films radiate the passion and unique vision of each of these filmmakers, who are about to become part of our Guild's rich history. My sincerest congratulations to all five nominees."
And the nominees are:
- Darren Aronofsky, "Black Swan"
- David Fincher, "The Social Network"
- Tom Hooper, "The King's Speech"
- Christopher Nolan, "Inception"
- David O. Russell, "The Fighter"
We have to say the Coen Brothers ("True Grit") and Lee Unkrich ("Toy Story 3") are noticeable in their absence, but we can't say it's a shock, exactly. "TS3" is a cartoon, for some reason, "True Grit" is just getting dissed by everyone.
U.S. & World
The DGA has been handing out awards since 1948, and only six times during that span has the Academy chosen a different director, most recently in 2002, when Rob Marshall was honored by the DGA for "Chicago," while Roman Polanski won the Oscar for "The Pianist."
And the film that's won Best Director has won Best Picture at the Academy Awards 48 of the last 56 times, so it seems perfect;y reasonable to think that this year's Best Picture is on the list above. Oh, wait... that's right, we already awarded the Best Picture Oscar to "The Social Network."
The winner will be formally announced on Jan. 29

Owner Moreno to Angels: Have fun
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arte Moreno addressed the entire team Wednesday morning prior to the Angels' first full workout, on the heels of a frustrating four-year absence from the playoffs.
The owner's words, simply: "Have fun."
The pre-practice meeting usually runs a little longer on the first day position players and pitchers are together. The entire front office and public-relations staff is in the room; everybody introduces themselves, and Moreno is usually in attendance.
The Angels' owner said he does not normally say anything that day but aims to convey a sense of calmness when he speaks -- no matter how affected he really is by sub-.500 seasons.
"Most people know me," Moreno said. "It might be the younger guys, or the guys we just picked up, but I go around the room and say hello to as many as I can. And during Spring Training, I always try to get over and talk to them a little bit, just so they're not intimidated by that. I tell them I go by my first name.
"I really try to be positive and optimistic. But don't get me wrong, everybody has areas on a team you look at and say, 'Where can I go? Who can we add, or what can we do to improve what you're trying to accomplish?'"

And treehugz, I feel the same way being torn between my kids. I feel I'm at my best as a parent when I have individual time with just one of my children. I have three, 6 1/2, 3 1/2, and 7 mon. Sometimes I feel there just isn't enough of me to go around. The worst part for me is then they literally fight over who gets to sit next to me at the table, who get's to snuggle up to my back when I'm lying down nursing the baby. I just don't know how to handle these situations. When they happen I wish I could lock myself in the bathroom and plug my ears until DH gets home.
"Sometimes I feel there just isn't enough of me to go around." Yes, me exactly! I've been feeling more and more like this lately. I breaks my heart sometimes... especially for my older dd because she gets less from me because "the baby" needs me more. I'm just out of sorts somehow when I'm trying to manage the two of my kids together... I don't know how to explain it.
I'm uncomfortable with my dd going to other kids' houses too, so I'm not sure how to deal with that. Ugh, I hated these awkward friend situations when I was a kid. You get ZERO alone time when you're in school, so introverts get no break to recharge during the school day. And my parents always had me playing team sports year round, so even after school I couldn't get away. I was always feeling off-centered, which made it hard to sort through situations and make friends. Homeschool would have been a dream for me.
I think my DD is somewhere in the middle between introvert and extrovert. She does need some time to play by herself to recharge, but she also hates being alone sometimes and craves play mates. There are times she's happy to play by herself in the playground at school, and there are times when she feels left out and not included. There are also times she is included and has a good time with other kids. Overall she likes school so far. She's still on winter holiday and looking forward to going back. Luckily she has her little brother to play with at home. I try and remind myself of that when life with multiple children gets hard.
I'm glad that I wasn't usually in after school activities as a child. I remember near the end of a school day, really looking forward to that recharge time at home alone in my room. Though I had younger siblings that sometimes wanted my attention. I don't know if home school would have been ideal for me or not. My mother was an introvert who, like me, made no effort to build friendships. My Dad had wonderful social skills and good friends at work, but nothing outside of that. I would have had my siblings to play with, but we would have been very isolated as a family. It's hard to say how that would have affected me.
How old is your older DD, Treehugz? I found when my 2nd was a baby, it helped to remind my older child that the baby needs xyz, just like she did when she was a baby. It didn't help that my second was a high needs baby. I remember feeling really touched out at times and just wanting my body to myself. DD would want to sit in my lap while I was nursing the baby (DS1). I was so conflicted because I desperately wanted to meet her needs, but at the same time I couldn't stand being trapped under two children. It felt like being trapped under a boulder. Looking back on it, I may have been going through PPD. This time around it's easier because DS2 is easy going and usually happy, and the older two are both used to not being an only child. I feel like I'm able to give more of myself to DD now than I could then DS1 was a baby. So I like to think I'm making up for lost times. Still I'm only one person and they are three. So there are difficult times when I feel like I just can't meet all of their needs.
CuddleBug'sMama, thank you sooooooo much for reviving this thread. I searched Mothering with the keyword "introvert" and it popped up at the top of the list. Read through the first two pages then skipped to this one. Lots of good material in here, but I just wish I had more time to read through it all. How I crave a good, thoughtful read!
Where to start, except to say that I can relate to just about everything I've read in here. I'm sensitive to and distracted by so many things: odours, temperature, noise, just the presence of another person can throw me off and break my concentration. It's taken me a long time to realize that it's related to being an introvert. While I love and need some social contact, I find many social situations just overwhelming and draining, even more so now that I have two little ones to look after. As I write this, I'm skipping out on at least one social event I've been invited to. Before I became a mother, I would go to these events even if I didn't exactly feel in my element. But these days, the prospect just seems too overwhelming for me. I'd have to make myself look presentable, then talk to people I don't know, find things to say, pay attention to multiple conversations, try to remember names and faces, all while I'm in the dizzying haze of mothering a 3-year-old and a 6-month-old. I've finally decided to quit pushing myself into more uncomfortable social situations than is necessary, and to quit feeling guilty about it.
But of course, it's never so simple to quit feeling guilty. There's the worry that my children will never learn any social skills if I don't try to get them out into social situations on a regular basis. I spend a lot of time trying to figure it out, how to get them out into just the right situations to meet friends, how to not have my entire family come across as awkward and shy, how to navigate difficult moments and situations.... I could go on and on.
Sometimes I wish that our lives were set up to make socializing a little easier for us all. A little more casual. Like a playground within walking distance where we could just drop in every day, and gradually get to know the other regulars there. But right now we are not in that situation. Perhaps we will be in the near future... I hope... if all goes as planned. And they are still young enough to not become set in Mama's introverted ways. But still, I feel anxious about it. Probably more than I should.
You were asking about good books on the subject? I just finished reading Susan Cain's "Quiet: The Power of introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking" and found it a very validating and informative. Has anyone else read it?
Well, looks like nap time is over. Must quit for now!
It's cool that someone so articulate is sharing her experience of being an Introvert. Everything she says sounds so familiar.
Do you identify as a HSP? You sound like one. It wasn't until after discovering I was an Introvert that I heard about being sensitive too.
Please come back and post again. I'd love to hear more about your experience and it really is so validating for other Introverts.
Hi Ella-6
I probably do, though I haven't done any of the personality tests. When I have a bit of time I'll do some research, as I love psychology... as a hobby. Mostly I enjoy finding out more about myself and those close to me, as I feel that understanding is a key to compassion. And I hardly need to say it's important to be compassionate towards yourself and those you love.
When I learned that sensitivity to one's surroundings, in terms of the 5 senses, is common in introverted people, it helped me a great deal to understand what's going on with my emotions on a daily basis. It helps just to know that you may be experiencing sensory overload when your environment is noisy, crowded or otherwise stimulating. It helps to know that this is why I may be having trouble concentrating at times, or feel more stressed out than I should. And it gives me a valid reason to create a peaceful environment at home.
This is not the most articulate post... surrounded by people right now. I'll write some more when I get the chance!
When I first got into discovering that I was an introvert I researched the types of all the people closest to me too, so that I could better honour their needs. As it happened, at the same time I was speaking to their needs, I got better at speaking up and reminding people about mine. That helped a lot with personal relationships and certain aspects of community involvement.
I know it may sound impossible where you're at with a 3 year old and a 6 month old at the moment, but I was able to volunteer a little bit recently with DS. It felt so amazing to finally do something again for the greater good and be a mother. And he got to live it with me too - Yay! It makes me so happy. The other thing that was really good about it, was that it barely had any face-to-face social contact even though it was something that would directly benefit another person.
Regarding being a HSP, DH and I have a routine where he does things like wearing headphones while listening to music or TV. That helps a lot. Also, we found having zones in our home which are entirely his to do as he pleases alleviated any differences we have. Closing a door to a room or a cupboard is far easier than having to negotiate on a daily basis. And DH, takes DS to most of the kid parties. These are kids that we met through his preschool.
Choosing a school was a really big deal around here. There are so many needs that needed to be met. I really wrestled with the decision-making, because it could so easily go pear-shaped if it was wrong. DS is high needs, but totally in a good way. He is such a bright light and I didn't want that to be squished. The other aspect is that was totally important to me is that I wanted his spiritual growth to be allowed and developed.
Being Introverted and HSP, all the information that comes pouring into my senses when I'm around other people makes picking up, drop off and involvement with school activities a lot fuller and more complex than meets the eye. Therefore, like-minded people becomes even more key.
But, we've found a school and it really feels like the right school.
head4thehills, great name by the way, this turned into a longer post than I first imagined it would be. I'm wondering if this book would be of interest to you: The Highly Sensitive Person's Survival Guide - Essential Skills for Living Well in an Overstimulating World. Ted Zeff, PH. D.
It's fun being on Mothering and meeting like-minded people, especially I think at the early ages when it's harder to get out and about. I hope you are enjoying it too.
I'm currently reading Elaine Aron's The Highly Sensitive Person. Your previous post prompted me to look up HSP, and found out about her book. It's a very good read, very sensitively written, as you might imagine. From what I've read so far, I think I'm somewhere in the middle of the sensitivity spectrum. I have a tendency to become somewhat of a hermit if left to my own devices, but I have very little trouble putting myself out there in the world. But learning about my own sensitivity has meant that I now pay more attention to the signs that I'm overdoing it. And now I know why I felt so strongly that I needed some time to myself after social activity. Before I became so busy with motherhood, I would take part in festivals and art shows (I'm a studio jeweler-- or I used to be!) several times a year. I enjoyed them very much, but really felt drained after an event. I would need several days to myself to digest everything that took place. I wish I had been able to explain this to DH, as my withdrawal after a show was the source of some tension between us in those days.
I think I can relate to some of your concerns regarding schooling for your young guy, as he is just a little older than mine. Right now I'm having trouble figuring out how we are going to meet his social needs while not overwhelming us. He's not used to being in a place with lots of children, so when confronted with a busy playground, he clings to me until most of the other kids are gone. The other day we went to a playground where there were no other children around. He was perfectly happy with it, but I thought it was a little sad. Where are all the children? Right now, DS says he doesn't want friends, but I think he needs playmates, because lately he's wanted me to play with him non-stop. And I'm confident he would enjoy a friendship once it was established. I love to play with him, but after some time, I want and need to do grown-up things, and of course tend to Baby Girl. I've been wondering if something a little more structured, like soccer for preschoolers, would be something he'd benefit from. Trouble is, he's not completely potty trained yet. I don't want to get him involved with something he's not ready for yet. But I'm puzzling over finding something that's just the right fit for him... and me.
I like your idea of volunteering. I have the urge to do something to give back, to benefit the greater good. I don't think right now is the time for me to do this, because my hands are so full. I'm a member of a small co-operative gallery which provides me with all the community involvement that I can reasonably handle, as well as a venue for my art. The other artist members have been extremely accommodating for me-- many of them are done raising their families and are happy to see the young ones at the gallery receptions. I like the arrangement; it keeps me active in the community, but more on my terms.
I'm also very happy to have this forum, as it gives me the opportunity to meet people like you who I can relate to... so difficult to do when you can't get out there enough!
I have to go now, but I will come back as soon as I have time to do so again.
You have a lovely, sensitive writing style. Also, when you speak about yourself, you do so in such a way that helps me feel included every step of the way. I hope it rubs off on me
I asked a previous poster when does that fleeting moment expand and while she didn't reply, I can now semi-reply from my own experience... Probably each child is different, but my high-needs (needing near-constant physical/emotional/mental connection/stimulation) is now comfortable to allow me to have a hot drink away from him from start to finish. This started when he was about 4 1/4.
That's when he's with me. When he's playing with DH on Saturdays, he can cope well with 1/2 day without me, as long as daddy is wholly focused on him. But then he needs to reconnect. He prefers shorter days at Kindy and attends for about 5 hours, one day a week.
Being an Introvert and HSP (quite strongly), that time needed for reflection still isn't quite there, but it's a start.
Soon after DS turned 3, we began early learning. He's shown such an interest. We developed a style that suited us - because he is so physical. Between solving each equation or problem, he would run a loop around the house. DS found it all very exciting. That was an investment because not only is he ahead in learning, but he has found something he is passionate about and something he can now do on his own. If he is leaning all over me (picture this in an active way), then the period of time that he can focus on that type of activity extends.
3 for us, was probably the biggest foundational year for self-sufficiency. We put so much focus into that. 4 is an extension of that, plus now there is the added layer of the child that he is becoming shining through. It really is delightful and rewarding.
Those three dots symbolise a break in time while I tended to DS who just woke up. He's with DH now, so I'll quickly finish up. It reminded me of how much energy we've put into our communication style. I've had to learn a lot about matching my true nature with the type of words I use. Still working on it. That's one of the reasons I'm happy to meet you. Like for example when you said 'puzzling' over something, where previously I'd used 'wrestling'. Puzzling is a much gentler word and if you don't mind I'm going to adopt it!
Empathy is for me, the foundation of communicating with another person. That's why I really enjoy the book How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk. Adele Faber & Elaine Mazlish. I just used those techniques with DS right then and it smoothed his morning upset. Yippee!
Ah, there's still so much to say, as I feel I've only touched on your post... Hopefully in my round-about way, some of what you're thinking about has been mentioned here. I'm looking forward to adding more and hearing your perspective (and the manner in which you express it), when there's time. Soon I hope. And don't feel pressured whenever you can post is a gift to me, ...ever surrounded by extroverts and activity, hehe.

So much I'd love to respond to. Your post was amazing, beautifully-written-- not to mention flattering! I'll try to hit a few of the high points and add a few things that have been on my mind.
You mentioned early learning, solving problems and equations, starting at age 3. Wow, that seems really advanced! Are you using any learning modules, or making up your own? I'd really like to know how to introduce my guy to some semi-structured learning, since we'll be homeschooling. I'd like to try different things and see what he responds to. I feel I need some guidance, in the form of activity books, to help him learn. I draw a bit of a blank when I try to dream up educational activities for him.
Oh, and do you have any advice on teaching self-sufficiency? Maybe I've been more attentive a parent than I realise, maybe a little too attentive, because he still seems very dependent upon me for everything... feeding, dressing, tooth-brushing. I often fall into doing these things for him out of lack of time (or maybe just patience). Today, suddenly he showed me he CAN dress himself if he's motivated enough. I told him we're going to his grandparents' and his aunt and cousin are there, and let slip that they have a present for him. Boy, you should have seen him get his clothes on! Now, can he do it for himself again tomorrow? Without bribery? We'll see...
It's been hard at this point for me to wrap my brain around educating him, since I'm over-occupied with household tasks, not to mention taking care of the baby. She has decided to skip crawling, and needs help "walking" all of the time. So, at this point I rarely get to sit down to eat a full meal. She's up and about before I'm halfway through. However, I will add that at least in the morning I can have my hot drink (coffee, yeah!) almost all the way through without having to get up for a walk-about with DD or help DS with a game.
I am hoping that there will eventually be a time when I do get that uninterrupted reflection session on a daily basis. But, as it is, I think I spend my whole day in reflection upon something or other. More than once, DS has said to me "Mama, stop thinking!" In other words, start talking and responding to what he is telling me. I'm concerned that my introversion makes me less effective as a parent, not playing or interacting with my children as much as I should, even if I'm there physically.
On a slightly different note, I was wondering, how do you evaluate (if that's the right word to use) your own children's traits? I'm pretty sure that DS is slightly more on the introverted side, but I'm not sure if that's due to my own tendency to be "in" more than "out". He's not used to being around people outside of his family, so he behaves more cautiously and quietly in public or in a playground than the other kids. DD is just a baby right now, but she seems to be more physically sensitive than her big brother. She's teething right now and is fussing much more than DS did. I think she'll be the real "princess and the pea," noticing all the little things. They are both sensitive to noise, like I am. I don't use vacuum cleaners or electric mixers very often, as the noise bothers me as much as them.
The last thing I wanted to mention was regarding the two books I recently read on introversion and HSP. While they were good reading, I was disappointed with how little they had to say on being Introverted or HSP parents. They focused more on being parents to HS or introverted children, but it seems unlikely that extroverted or non-HSP parents would ever think to pick up these books for advice on their children.
I'm going to do a little more online research for the fun of it, just to see if I can find more on being a parent with these traits. But, so far, this forum has been the best for advice and interaction with other "innies"!

Vegan Fried Chicken
1/2 cup hot water
1 tablespoon vegan "chicken" bouillon powder
1/2 cup textured soy protein
1/2 cup vegan pancake mix, dry
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
other seasonings, to taste
2/3 cup crushed cornflakes
oil for frying
1. Put hot water in a bowl. Stir in bouillon powder. Soak textured soy protein in this liquid for 10 minutes.
2. Mix just enough pancake mix in with the textured soy to make a cohesive mixture that can be formed into patties. Mix in salt, pepper, and any other seasonings you want to use.
3. Put crushed cornflakes in a plate. Dip patties into cornflakes, covering them completely.
4. Heat some oil on medium heat in a heavy frying pan. Fry patties in oil until crispy, turning occasionally.
Serve with a creamy sauce, and mashed or oven-fried potatoes.'
This was very good....had it with Oyster Mushroom gravy....very nice taste and texture! It surprised me (pleasantly) after I read some of the reviews...Thanks for this recipe!!
Yummy had this yesterday with mash and "I can't believe it's vegan gravy" with green salad. After frying it I put in oven at 150 degree Celsius and fan baked it. I liked my chicken dry and chewy when I was an omnivore and this satisfied the same craving lol
i was a little skeptical, it seemed too easy to be true, but low and behold it was SO GOOD! i doubled the recipe since we like to EAT and it was perfect! ;)b
I was so disappointed in this recipe...I read so many reviews that were positive. Weird texture, so-so taste, and I even added some poultry seasoning to the mix. I baked it...maybe better fried? At least my garlic mashed potatoes and carrots from my garden were tasty..
This was great and easy to make~
I'm thinking this will be fun to change up the spices and flavouring each time i make it :)>>>
Thank you!
Wow. That was a homerun! I followed the instructions completely, except that I put them in the oven at 400F for 20 minutes. I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans. I now have a case of The Itis. Thanks Deborah!
:( I'm a new vegan (3 weeks) and this site has kept me going! I cook something from here every day and have loved everything - the melty mock cheese sauce, general tsao's tofu, much more. A whole new world. Until this. This one almost sent me to McDonalds. Fortunately I have some hummus and salad and a bottle of wine here so I won't do anything drastic. But I did notice, the people who most loved this haven't had real fried chicken for a long time. I remember friend chicken..maybe in 5 years this will taste great. Now? Hello salad.
I made this recipe last night using fresh mashed potatoes and it didn't go so well. They fell apart in the oil and even baking them in the oven couldn't encourage them to stay in one piece. However, they tasted so good (too salty, but good) that I decided to give it another try for lunch today. I used flour and baking powder (and I omitted all salt) instead of mashed potatoes and added one egg replacer and WOW are they good! I fried them this time around, but I'll have to start baking them from now on because I know I'll be eating this A LOT and I try to avoid fried food. I can't wait for my boyfriend to try these, but he'll have to wait until the next time I make them because there certainly won't be any to share today!
10 stars :)
This was very yummy. It was reminiscent of a chicken croquette without, of course, the chicken.
Finally, I have a use for Textured Soy Protein.
My mods (ala blueskygirl and caribnveg and myself) which made my version NON-VEGAN:
1 C Organic Vegetable broth
1/2 C mashed potato mix (Mary Lee instant mashed potato flakes)
1/2 C pancake mix (mine was Arrowhead Mills Buttermilk)
1 Egg
Crushed Blue Corn tortilla chips
Spices (I'm a spice whore): Cayenne, Garlic Powder,smoked paprika, onion powder, sea salt, Basil, Herb de provence
Hella tasty!

Window closing for Maholm
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Dodgers pitcher Paul Maholm's availability for the Opening Day roster could ride on his anticipated bullpen session on Saturday.
Maholm, who has been slowed by elbow tenderness, is the only Dodgers starting pitcher who has yet to throw live batting practice. Clayton Kershaw threw to hitters Friday for the second time this spring.
Because of the truncated exhibition schedule this year, injured players have less time to recover from minor Spring Training injuries and still be on the March 16 flight to Australia for Los Angeles' Opening Series against Arizona.
Maholm was signed as a fifth-starter option in the event Josh Beckett, coming off surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome, is not ready. Beckett actually is ahead of Maholm, having faced hitters, although it's possible neither will be needed for the two games in Australia.
Brandon League seems to be clear from his mild lat strain, as he threw a second bullpen session on Friday. And Zach Lee, who also had a lat strain, came out of his first bullpen session with no setback, according to manager Don Mattingly.

Employment Minister Eric Abetz has defended the Coalition's decision to provide chocolate company Cadbury with $16 million of taxpayers' money in the wake of its rejection of SPC Ardmona's bid for government assistance, arguing the Cadbury funds will be good for regional tourism in Tasmania.
Last week, after a meeting of the federal cabinet, Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced his government would not provide $25 million to SPC, reasoning that the business should be responsible for its own "restructure". This was despite Labor, unions and local Liberal member Sharman Stone arguing that without government help, the fruit grower would not survive, with devastating effects for the north-east Victorian region.
On Sunday, Senator Abetz said that it was wrong to make comparisons between the government's pledge to support Cadbury - in his home state of Tasmania - and its tough love approach to SPC.
"Can I say, it's not a fair comparison," he told ABC's Insiders program.
He explained that the government had announced the $16 million for Cadbury during the federal election campaign to help fund tours of the chocolate factory and in turn, generate regional tourism.
He said the tours used to be a "drawcard" for the state, which had a "shot" economy.
"That was seen as a reasonable endeavour by the federal government."
Senator Abetz added that the funds would also create another 200 factory jobs and help the local dairy industry.
"So overall a very good package, but in circumstances where the emphasis was on the regional tourism aspect, which all governments have engaged in and which makes it substantially different to the SPC Ardmona situation," he said.
Labor frontbencher Senator Wong argued on Sunday that the $25 million sought by SPC would have provided job security and helped the struggling economy in the Shepparton region. "You don't have governments as a matter of course simply propping up business, but there are occasions when it's important for government to work in partnership with particular firms," she told Sky News.
In a statement, Australian Council of Trade Unions secretary Dave Oliver again attacked the Coalition's SPC decision.
"This will have a devastating impact on Shepparton and on the fruit processing industry; an unacceptable failure of foresight and wisdom from the Abbott Government," he said.
"It should be noted that Mr Abbott was more than happy to hand over $16 million to foreign owned Cadbury in the marginal Tasmanian seat of Denison prior to the election but has now changed his tune."
Also on Sunday, when asked if the Coalition could still generate one million jobs within five years, as per its election pledge, Senator Abetz said, "we would like to think that we can do that".
The Employment Minister said the government was "doing everything possible" to achieve its target but needed the Labor Party and the Greens to back the scrapping of the carbon tax and mining tax.
Asked how many jobs the repeal of the taxes would create, Senator Abetz replied that the carbon tax was an "impost" that was hurting manufacturing.
"To remove it will ease the burden and assist job creation."

Nordic Climate Policy
A Case Study on Efficient Policy Measures
The Nordic countries are often seen as green both in terms of a good environment and being capable of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

(CNN) -- International oil giant Royal Dutch Shell announced Thursday that its net profits fell 27 percent in the last quarter of 2008, another indicator of the sickly global economy.
The company said it earned $4.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with $6.7 billion during the same period in 2007.
Despite the faltering fourth quarter, Royal Dutch Shell's net profits still increased 16 percent for the full year of 2008, the company said.
CEO Jeroen van der Veer said the fourth quarter performance was satisfactory, given a drop-off in demand as the economy has weakened.
