SA:Scammers sharpen skills with social media

ADELAIDE, Aug 14 AAP - Social media, such as Facebook, is making it easier for scammers
to dupe their victims, South Australian Consumer Affairs Minister Gail Gago says.

Ms Gago said scammers were becoming more sophisticated than ever before and were using
the internet and social media to disguise themselves as legitimate companies or individuals.

The minister said while the number of scams reported to Consumer and Business Services
in SA had dropped in the past financial year, the methods used to target victims were
more advanced.

"Social media has played a role in enabling scammers to disguise themselves as legitimate
companies or individuals to persuade victims to hand over money or personal details,"

Ms Gago said in a statement.

"Scammers then use these details for fraudulent purposes and can often leave consumers
out of pocket.

"With more consumers purchasing goods online, there now is a greater risk that a consumer
could become a victim of identity theft.

"Scammers use this as an opportunity to offer non-existent goods ranging from puppy
dogs to motor vehicles to con unsuspecting customers."

The most popular scams in South Australia over the past year included computer virus
checks - where callers try to convince people their computer is infected, the Nigerian
and similar scams - where people are promised huge rewards for helping the transfer of
money and overseas lotteries - where emails suggest people have won a major prize and
a payment is required to release the cash.

Ms Gago said consumers should never give out credit card, online account information
or other personal details over the phone to people they don't know.

"Remember that scammers target all sorts of people and they can be difficult to spot
as they often appear as genuine business people," she said.

"If something seems too good to be true, it most likely is."

FED:Cabbie finally get his big bang moment

By Tom Morgan

SYDNEY, Dec 31 AAP - For 12 long years, he has tried - and failed - to watch the fireworks.

But this year there was no stopping taxi driver George Stamp from enjoying his beer
on the steps of the Opera House and taking his son and daughter to the best New Year's
display on the planet.

Ill health and his job have dashed his dream to watch the show in person since he moved
to the city from Bradford, England, in 1998.

But this year the 48-year-old sacrificed a bumper payday ferrying revellers around
the city to enjoy what he believes was "Sydney's best show yet".

Thousands lining the banks around the Opera House seemed to agree after the red and
white waterfall prompted a roar of cheers which reverberated around Circular Quay.

"I'm pretty much the only taxi driver not working tonight but I don't give a damn on
missing out on all that cash, this night is unmissable, one of the reasons I wanted to
live in this city," he said.

"This has definitely been the best night so far, that red and white waterfall was our highlight.

"I don't know if Australia realises how much the rest of the world watches everything
unfold here.

"I have been promising Jack (11) and Rose (8) for years that we would come. And at
last we're here."

The 13,000 strong Opera House crowd - many of whom who had waited up to 12 hours -
were left awestruck as the fireworks burst into life.

Cinthya Romo, a 32-year-old Sydney-based interpreter from Chile, summed them up in
two words: "Stunning, beautiful".

"I have come here on my own and waited for ten hours. It looks like it will be completely
worth it," she said.

"Everyone is so friendly. What a special night. I'm so glad they have started with
such amazing colours."

Ross Bagnato, a 35-year-old sales boss from Melbourne, had said he was falling asleep
after finding his spot at 10am.

"Those fireworks have woken me right up though," he said. "I'm so glad they aren't
disappointing after such a long wait."

He had been travelling with his wife by road since December 27 and it was "all for this moment".

Radiographer Mary Lloyd, from Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire, in England, said she had
secured her front row seat by luck.

"What an amazing view, so glad they've started. Definitely as impressive as hoped."

As a big smiley face appeared on the bridge, Mrs Lloyd said: "I'm smiling right back.

It's better than I expected and this is just the matinee."

Fed: Bell to bring social conscience to High Court - McClelland

Federal Attorney-General ROBERT MCCLELLAND says Australia's newest High Court judge
will bring a social conscience with her to the bench.

Federal cabinet has recommended the appointment of New South Wales Supreme Court judge
VIRGINIA MARGARET BELL to take the place of retiring High Court judge MICHAEL KIRBY from
February 3.

The decision has been welcomed across the board as redressing a lack of criminal law
expertise on the bench of Australia's superior court .. and as going some way towards
correcting the gender imbalance.

The appointment of the Sydney University law graduate .. who has grass roots legal
experience .. will reshape the composition of the High Court bench .. which will feature
three women and four men for the first time.

HUGH MACKEN .. the president of the Law Society of New South Wales .. says the news
will be welcomed by lawyers around Australia.

CHERYL SAUNDERS .. a professor of constitutional law at Melbourne University .. said
it's hard to tell what the impact of the critical mass of women on the bench will be ..

while Opposition legal affairs spokesman GEORGE BRANDIS has also welcomed the decision.

NSW: Girl with serious wounds after stab attack near her school

SYDNEY, April 1 AAP - A Sydney schoolgirl is fighting for her life in hospital with
serious stab wounds after allegedly being attacked by two other girls.

The 17-year-old girl was attacked about 3.30pm (AEDT) yesterday at a business on Cabramatta
Road, opposite Bonnyrigg High School in Sydney's south-west.

She was allegedly stabbed a number of times after a fight broke out between a group
of girls, police said.

The girl was admitted to Liverpool Hospital in critical condition yesterday, and was
in serious but stable condition today after undergoing surgery.

A 19-year-old woman has been charged with attacking her with intent to cause grievous
bodily harm.

A spokesman for the NSW Department of Education confirmed that the victim and a 16-year-old
girl charged with carrying a weapon were both students at Bonnyrigg High.

He told AAP the incident had been witnessed by some students and teachers, who had
raised the alarm.

The spokesman said he was unaware of any similar violent incidents at the school.

"It didn't occur on school grounds, it occurred at a business premises across the road
from the school," he said.

"In relation to what caused the incident, obviously police are conducting inquiries into that."

Students had been offered counselling and a note was being sent home to parents to
explain what had happened, the spokesman said.

"There were some students around, a number of them have been interviewed by police," he said.

"The same thing with some senior staff from the school who went across the road to
try and assist and called emergency services."

A 19-year-old woman from Green Valley has been charged with wounding a person with
intent to cause grievous bodily harm, and with affray.

She has been refused bail and was due to appear at Liverpool Local Court today.

The 16-year-old girl, also from Green Valley, has been charged with being armed with
intent to commit an indictable offence, and with affray.

She was granted strict conditional bail to appear at Campbelltown Children's Court on April 21.

Fed: High Court overturns changes to electoral law =2

The challenge to the legislation was launched by Vickie Lee Roach, an Aboriginal woman
jailed for five years in 2004 and ineligible for parole until August 2008.

Her case was heard over two days in June with her lawyers arguing that the criterion
for disentitlement were arbitrary and consequently not consistent with representative
democracy.

They maintained that it was contrary to the freedom of political communication and
the freedom of political participation.

She argued that the pre-2006 legislation was also invalid.

In a statement today, High Court Chief Justice Murray Gleeson said until the Commonwealth
Electoral Act was amended in 2006, prisoners serving three years or longer were not entitled
to vote.

In 2006, the Act was amended to provide that prisoners serving any sentence of imprisonment
were not entitled to vote.

"The court, by majority, upholds the challenge to the 2006 amendment. It also holds
that the pre-2006 legislation continues in force and is valid," Justice Gleeson said.

The court directed Ms Roach should pay half the court costs.

Qld: Stark contrast in Qld politics

By Paul Osborne

BRISBANE, Aug 7 AAP - The contrast could not have been starker.

There was Queensland Premier Peter Beattie, striding into the drawing room of Government
House alongside an immaculately groomed Governor Quentin Bryce.

The national anthem plays on a CD player.

Seated on an antique chair in a room decorated with priceless artwork, Mr Beattie co-signs
a proclamation declaring new ministerial portfolios.

His former water minister Henry Palaszczuk, who announced his election-day retirement
earlier, stands and is sworn in on a leather-bound Bible as minister assisting the premier
on water.

Back in Brisbane's CBD, Dr Bruce Flegg has just stuck his scalpel into Bob Quinn in
a half-hour party room coup and taken the state Liberal leadership.

He gets annoyed and starts leaning heavily onto the podium in the Parliament House
media room as he fends off questions from a ravenous press gallery in election mode.

Did he backstab Mr Quinn? Was it a calculated move decided days before by backroom plotters?

He ducks and weaves.

His new deputy Mark McArdle flushes bright red as he stands beside him in the glare
of television lights.

Another day in Queensland politics.

Fed: Fed govt launching attack on minimum wage - ACTU

CANBERRA, Feb 11 AAP - An attack on the minimum wage was behind the federal government's
push for a national industrial relations system, Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU)
president Sharan Burrow said today.

Ms Burrow said so-called harmonisation of the state and federal systems was code for
riding roughshod over the state systems under which about half the country's workers gained
their working conditions.

Federal Workplace Relations Minister Kevin Andrews is expected to take submissions
on a range of proposed new workplace measures, including a move towards a unified national
system, to cabinet later this month.

"If the government was serious about harmonisation ... they would sit down with the
state governments and they would look at what are the provisions they can bring on line,
the best provisions to protect working people," Ms Burrow told ABC radio.

"We've got an economy that's driving towards full employment. We've got a range of
areas where the minister said rightly that employees want greater flexibility and yet
they've opposed our work and family test case that would do just that.

"They speak with a general language but the underlying intent is to ride roughshod
over the states.

"About half of the workforce is covered by state-based arrangements."

Ms Burrow said awards were about the minimum standards Australians should be given as a fair go.

"The government is not speaking truthfully when it says it wants to harmonise the system,"

she said.

"What it wants to do is use its unfettered powers in the parliament to make the lives
of working people more difficult, less secure and of course to get rid of critical things
like an Australian minimum wage."

"The individual is where the power is going in the investment process. We want to meet the demand of individual investors to use the information tools they need to make intelligent choices. At the same time, the need for professionals to serve their clients with greater speed and sophistication and a wider range of products must be delivered," Hogg added.

WineShopper.com Celebrates One-Year Anniversary; Offers 70 Percent Discount on Sonoma Reserve Cabernet.

Wine.com and New Flash Sale Site Shipped over Two Million Bottles in the Last Year

SAN FRANCISCO, June 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Wine.com, the #1 online wine retailer, today is celebrating the one-year anniversary of WineShopper, its members-only flash sale site that offers exclusive wine deals in limited quantities for up to 72 hours. Wine.com together with WineShopper shipped over 2 million bottles in the last 12 months with over 1 million registered users across the franchise. WineShopper has featured such coveted brands as Veuve Clicquot, Chateau d'Yquem and Robert Mondavi.

"WineShopper is a sister site to Wine.com," said Rich Bergsund, CEO of Wine.com. "Because we are a single buyer for both sites, WineShopper benefits by getting great deals from thousands of wineries we've worked with for over a decade. And since we do our own fulfillment, all of your wines arrive in one shipment, rather than one per winery like other online sites who don't own the fulfillment.

Boy Scouts of America Joins With the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to Teach Scouts Internet Safety.

Free Online Educational Resource, NetSmartz, Made Available to Scout Leaders

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) today announced it is making available its Internet safety program, NetSmartz, to the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to teach Scouts and their families how to make responsible decisions both online and in real life. The BSA is asking all Scout leaders to incorporate the NetSmartz materials into their programs and to distribute information directly to parents.

While the Internet provides vast educational and informational resources, it has also given predators a new opportunity to prey on children-even in their own homes. Talking to children so they understand the dangers is vital to their safety. Prevention is key. NCMEC offers a free Internet safety program called NetSmartz at www.netsmartz.org. It uses interactive resources such as animated characters, games, and videos to empower children of all ages to make responsible decisions both online and in real life.

"Today children have more access to the Internet than ever before in history," said Ernie Allen, president and CEO of NCMEC. "The majority of all households today have at least one computer, and we know that most teens access the Internet from multiple locations. Kids already know that the Internet is a wonderful resource. They also need to understand the potential risks and the simple things that they can do that will help them stay safe. We applaud the BSA for making this resource available to members and its focus on adapting to the evolving dangers facing children today."

With a click of the mouse, parents can also get answers to their questions at www.netsmartz411.org about the Internet, computers, and emerging technology. Among the most frequently asked: What is a mash-up? How do I find my child's MySpace URL? What do online abbreviations mean? Not only can they review answers already provided, but they can call 1-888-NETS411 and talk to an expert.

"Continuing to educate Scouts and their parents about Internet safety is an important component of Scouting's long-standing commitment to the continuous enhancement of our youth protection program," said Bob Mazucca, Chief Scout Executive, Boy Scouts of America. "Today's youth are spending more time than ever online-gaming and communicating with social networks. We believe NetSmartz is an important program to make available to Scouts and their parents to help them use the Internet in a safe, responsible manner.

The NetSmartz Workshop is a free online educational resource. It is a program that is widely used and enjoyed by children and teens, parents, educators, and law enforcement. Using age-appropriate activities, NetSmartz provides children with the information they need to make smarter and safer online choices. The animated spokesperson, Clicky, has been enormously popular in teaching Internet safety to youth participants. The program uses videos, games, and activity cards to educate children on how to recognize potential Internet risks and to empower children to help prevent them from being exploited. NetSmartz has been implemented in schools and school districts in all 50 states in the U.S.

MASSIVE TURNOUT OF CONSERVATIVES MAKES HISTORIC ELECTION RESULTS POSSIBLE.

WASHINGTON, DC -- The following information was released by the Christian Coalition of America:

Christian Coalition of America President Roberta Combs commented on today's election results as follows:

"All across our country conservatives went to the polls in record numbers to vote their values, and the result demonstrates the true power of America's largest voting bloc."

"They came out in support of candidates who responded to their calls for leadership that will stand against an intrusive and big spending government, and for traditional values."

"The Republican Party's leadership would do well to remember that it was the support of conservatives who take their values and the Constitution seriously that made this historic result possible. These voters will be watching to make sure that they live up to their election promises", Combs said.

Success of Operation Voter Guide

In the months leading up to the election, the Coalition leveraged the power of the Internet and social media to educate votes with a combination of online advertising in targeted states and viral online tools that empowered conservative activists.

As a result, the Coalition connected with hundreds of thousands of additional conservatives, identified tens of thousands of new activists and our voter guides were seen by millions of voters all across the country.

Within recent months the Coalition has launched new online tools such as:

A "Voter Guides" tab for Facebook

A "Donate Your Status" application for both Facebook and Twitter

A Coalition toolbar for web browsers

A voter guide widget, enabling supporters to crowd-source voter guide distribution

Christian Coalition of America is a non-partisan political organization that works to identify, educate and mobilize Christians for effective political action. Since its inception, the Coalition has produced and distributed over a hundred million voter guides in elections all across America.

Terremark Worldwide Reports Fourth Quarter And FY 2006 Year End Results.

--237 new customers for the year and 54 new customers for the quarter including Club Med, The School Board of Collier County, and Mercy Hospital;

--Launched Secure Information Services Group providing data security related offerings

--Turned EBITDA positive and operating cash flow positive for the 4th quarter;

--Increased gross profit margins to 39% for the March 2006 quarter

Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (AMEX:TWW) a leading operator of integrated Tier-1 Internet exchanges and a global provider of managed IT infrastructure solutions for government and private sectors, today reported its results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2006.

Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 were $ 19.0 million and $62.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2006, representing an increase of 1% over the previous quarter and an increase of 30% over the previous year. Total revenues during the 2005 fiscal year included $11.8 million of non-recurring technology infrastructure build outs and total revenues for the 2006 fiscal year included approximately $8.7 million of non-recurring project type revenue. Without these one time revenues, the year over year increase in revenues was 54%.

EBITDA, as adjusted for FY 2006 was a positive $554 thousand compared to a loss of $8.2 million for FY 2005. EBITDA, as adjusted, is defined as loss from operations less depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation. EBITDA, as adjusted, should be considered in addition to, but not in lieu of, loss from operations reported under GAAP.

Revenue and EBITDA results for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 came in below guidance primarily due to a shift in project revenues related to a federal government contract. The contract is now expected to be deployed in the second and third quarter of FY2007.

"This past year marked a very important period for us as we achieved significant customer growth and continued to build on our managed services offerings," said Manuel D. Medina, Chairman and CEO. "Our goal is to leverage the success of 2006 into 2007. We are particularly excited about our opportunity as the market itself is showing growth and momentum. New technologies are driving customers to locate in facilities that have power and cooling resources to meet the increased demand. Our experience and success positions us to capitalize on these market opportunities."

Data center expenses were $11.6 million for the quarter and $ 38.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2006, consistent with the previous quarter and an increase of 5% for the year. Gross profit margins, excluding depreciation and amortization, were consistent at 39% during the March 31, 2006 quarter versus the prior quarter. Similarly, full year gross profit margins, excluding depreciation and amortization, improved to 38% for the 2006 fiscal year from 23% during fiscal year 2005.

Total colocation space utilization increased to 12.1% as of March 31, 2006 from 11.8 % as of December 31, 2005. Utilization of built-out colocation space increased to 43.3% as of March 31, 2006 from 42.3% as of December 31, 2005. Cross connects billed to customers increased to 4,007 as of March 31, 2006 from 3,724 the previous quarter and 2,505 a year earlier, representing an increase of 8% and 60%, respectively.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, Terremark added 54 new customers, for a total of 488 customers at the end of the year. Terremark booked $16.8 million of new contract value during the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, annualized data center services revenue per utilized square foot were $1,701 compared to $1,835 at the end of the previous quarter and $1,440 a year earlier. The drop in total revenue per square foot was due to a decrease in non-recurring project revenue. For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, data center services revenue churn was less than 1%. The Company defines churn as annualized data center services revenue lost as a percentage of annualized data center services revenue for the most recent quarter.

Highlights of this year include:

--New customer contracts include BroadStar, Shutterfly, IDG Netherlands and others.

--Over 14 banking and financial institutions became customers i.e. Bank United, First Bank of Miami, U.S. Century, Transatlantic Bank and others.

Statements contained in this press release may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Terremark's actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements due to a number of risks, uncertainties and other factors, as discussed in Terremark's filings with the SEC. These factors include, without limitation, Terremark's ability to obtain funding for its business plans, uncertainty in the demand for Terremark's services or products and Terremark's ability to manage its growth. Terremark does not assume any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Terremark continues to provide all information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but it believes that evaluating its ongoing operating results may be difficult if limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Terremark uses non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, as adjusted. In presenting these non-GAAP financial measures, Terremark excludes certain non-cash items that it believes are not good indicators of the Company's current or future operating performance. These non-cash items are depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation.

Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group Unveils Best Practices, Code of Conduct, and Reference Architecture.

Plans to Expand to Broader Coalition of Global Operators

Building on their initial meeting on December 2003, the Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG) led by Openwave Systems , met in Boston to discuss plans to expand from an initial working group to a broader coalition of global carriers. The group, which represents 110 million subscribers worldwide, has made significant progress towards its goal of working collaboratively to address and mitigate messaging abuse problems -- Including spam, viruses, forgery, fraud and other malicious attacks -- affecting both broadband and mobile service providers and their customers.

Specifically, the group unveiled a code of conduct, a current best practices document for messaging operators (A practical overview of actions local system administrators can take to harden a production messaging systems), and a draft reference architecture for common reference. Furthermore, the group finalized details around membership specifics, including tiered membership levels, requirements and annual dues.

To drive the group forward, participants discussed commitments to a 12-month roadmap that includes delivery on the following:

-- Significantly growing the membership roster of messaging operators

-- Hosting an Anti-Abuse Summit on May 17-19, in Washington D.C. To register for the summit, or to request more information on the MAAWG, please visit http://www.maawg.org/

-- Establishing a common abuse profile to enable companies to collaborate on abuse issues, share key contact information, reporting procedures, etc.

-- Accelerate industry adoption of a sender authentication protocol

Attendees included Adelphia, Avantel, BellSouth, Cox Communications, Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ), IIJ America, Interland Hosting Services, Openwave, POBox.com and Verizon Online.

"As MAAWG continues to make progress by developing a code of conduct, best practice and technology architectures, we are poised to tackle messaging abuse head on," said Dale W. Malik, Director of Broadband Applications, BellSouth. "By expanding MAAWG participation, we are not only growing in numbers but are becoming a significant resource to address this issue effectively."

"At Adelphia we understand the need to address the issues of spam, viruses and security. Spam is a constantly evolving problem that impacts nearly every individual or company using email and the Internet," said Sherman Hand, Manager, Internet Policy Enforcement Team. "Having a united front on the war on spam, just as the spammers are united, is the first step in this fight. We are proud to be in at the beginning of this inter-operator forum to effect change as a group that far exceeds what we could accomplish individually."

"Messaging abuse crosses global boundaries where anti-spam laws do not always apply," said Yoshihiro Shimazu, Deputy General Manager of Strategy Planning Division, IIJ. "In order to effectively combat the growing problems of abuse, MAAWG is looking to broaden its reach across international borders to recruit companies committed to fighting and stopping messaging abuse."

"Messaging abuse is the number one threat to all forms of Internet communications," said Rich Wong, general manager, Openwave. "By uniting industry-leading global carriers, we are making systematic progress against this epidemic and expect these concerted efforts to be the first step in eliminating messaging abuse altogether."

"Today, there are many fragmented anti-spam initiatives working separately," said Meng Weng Wong, CTO, Pobox.com. "If we hope to control viruses and spam, the industry has to work together. The world needs an Internet equivalent of the World Health Organization. I believe MAAWG can grow into that role."

"As messaging abuse continues to wreak havoc on the industry and threaten Internet communication, it is our responsibility, as messaging operators, to address the problem," said Todd Dean, Director of Data Operations and Support for Cox Communications. "By acting collectively and cooperatively we can have a far greater impact than by acting alone."
