I think the Phillipps' paper was before SSR put the Articles and Rafferty's onto the front page. Prior to that only articles were front paged. Under the SSR convention the Articles are more magazine like, while the Rafferty's are the blog or diary section.

Overseas Australians Will Suffer at Next Election [pdf]
from the Southern Cross Group.
Eligible voters outside Australia when the next election is called will run a strong risk of being disenfranchised if their enrolment details are not in order with the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) before the election announcement.

Buy F-22 Raptors or face air gap: Beazley
from The Australian.
It's a very serious situation. A big capability gap is building up now - Australia versus the region, we have always enjoyed technological superiority. We are now about to lose it.

Brendan Nelson is ticked off at Boeing
for being 12 months late with the Wedgetail project and Donald Rumsfield said something to the effect that technology transfers for the JSF had been worked out, or were in the process of being worked out.

Why Blogs Work
from Rusty Elliot-Harold.
The beauty of the Web is that there's no visible hierarchy to explore. That's why the Web works for readers. They just follow links and search. They don't have to think about hierarchies of sites. Web developers tend to lose sight of this simple fact because we do have to think about the hierarchy of a site. We even design sites with hierarchies and provide site maps that lay out the hierarchies, and then wonder why nobody uses them. However to a typical reader, the Web isn't a hierarchy, never has been, and never will be. Most importantly they don't want it to be. They don't think in hierarchies.
What have we traditionally asked someone who wanted to publish on the Web to do? Design a hierarchy. We've taken the one thing that is most confusing to end users in desktop computers and transplanted it onto the network.

Let us invent human rights
from the Jakarta Post.
The process of inventing "human rights" and "crimes against humanity" in this country appears to be quite premature, as the general sentiment among politicians is to "forgive Soeharto, but get back the riches he had stolen from the nation."
To focus on Soeharto's riches is to miss out on a momentous opportunity to have those useful Enlightenment concepts -- human rights, human dignity, and crimes against humanity -- take root in Indonesia. The trial of Soeharto, if it ever happens, should not be in order to get back what he allegedly stole. It should first and foremost be over the crimes he committed against humanity, against communist party members and their descendants, against the Acehnese, the Papuans, the East Timorese, the Muslims, or the men in the street with tattoos.

Most Popular Hikes in Arizona
Arizona is an outdoor state and has lots of hiking in the city and around the state. Phoenix is unusual for most cities in having several large mountains in the center of the city with great hiking. Anyone who comes to Phoenix has to do the
Echo Canyon trail on Camelback and the
Summit Hike on Squaw Peak or Piesta Peak. The views of the city, suburbs and surrounding mountains are wonderful from Camelback and Piesta Peak.
For more experienced hikers there is the McDowell Mountains in North Scottsdale that has several difficult and strenuous hikes in
Tom's Thumb and
Bell Pass. Alternatively, you can hike the highest mountain in Arizona. At 12,600 feet
Humphrey's Peak is a long and difficult hike.
Alternate Australian Constitutions
Between 2004 and 2009 this site,
southsearepublic.org, was a constitutional blog based on scoop which focused on Australian and global constitutional issues.
One of the strongest aspects of it was the development of constitutions by those involved in the blog. These constitutions are the outcome:
The constitutions were built using principles from Montesquieu's separation of powers, the enlightnment's universal political rights and the ancient Athenian technology of sortition and choice by lot.

Who Is Cam Riley
I am an Australian living in the United States as a permanent resident.
I am a software developer by trade and mostly work in Java and jump between middleware and front end.
I originally worked in the New York area of the United States in telecommunications before moving to Washington DC and
working in a mix of telecommunications, energy and ITS. I started my own software company before heading out to
Arizona and working with Shutterfly. Since then I have joined a startup in the Phoenix area and am thoroughly enjoying myself.
I do a lot of photography which I post on this website, but also on flickr. I have a photo-journalistic website which lists
the modernist and contemporary restaurants in phoenix. I have a site on the
Australian Flying Corps [AFC] which has been around since the 1990s and which I unfortunately
lost the .org URL to during a life event; however, it is under the
www.australianflyingcorps.com URL now.
The AFC website has gone through several iterations since the 90s and the two most recent are
Australian Flying Corps Archives(2004-2002) and
Australian Flying Corps Archives(2002-1999) which are good places to start.
