There's a deluge of ageing indie heroes at the Annandale Hotel, including the Wedding Present (tonight at 8, annandalehotel.com, 9550 1078, $35) and Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh and the Folk Implosion's Lou Barlow (Monday, 7.30pm, $36) - but arguably even more impressive are the fresh-faced fellas of Pond (Thursday, 8pm, The Standard, Darlinghurst, wearethestandard.com.au, 9331 3100, $12). Their sunny psych rock scales even trippier heights than those reached by the other band two of them play in, Tame Impala. As great as all these guys are, they're not much to look at - so for something more visually arresting, investigate retro burlesque show Sin City (tonight at 8, 34B, Darlinghurst, 9331 2956, from $20).

Get your swagger on this Sunday with Australia's largest urban festival, Supafest, (Sunday, noon-10pm, ANZ Stadium, Olympic Park, supafest.com.au, 13 28 49, $89-$200). Missy Elliott and P.Diddy may have been dropped (due to inadequate ticket sales) but you can still (hopefully) catch controversial chart-topper Chris Brown, Lupe Fiasco, Ludacris, Ice Cube and Kelly Rowland in action. No doubt on-stage requests to put your hands up and queries about who's in the house will be plentiful. If you're after something more gourmet than gangsta, head along to the AnnanROMA food and wine festival (Sunday, 10am-4pm, Mount Annan Botanic Gardens, rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au, 4634 7935, free), which showcases the Macarthur region's best wine, food and produce.

Two notable events this week: first, the Japan Foundation is celebrating the school holidays by screening two free Japanese films daily at Chifley Square in central Sydney - 2pm sessions for children and 6.30pm sessions for adults, from Monday to Friday next week. Details at jpf.org.au/jcinema. And World Movies is launching Secret Cinema, the screening of an acclaimed international film at a ''mystery inner-city location'' with themed decorations, food, drinks and an after-party. The venue will be revealed by text message on the day. Tickets for the May 2 screening go on sale next Wednesday. Details at worldmovies.com.au. Garry Maddox
Get down to Cockle Bay for The Big Issue's Street Football Festival (until April 22, 9am-8pm, streetsoccer.org.au, 03 9663 4533, free). Worth seeing just for the spectacle of its floating football pitch, the comp aims to inspire team spirit, with more than 900 participants in the junior, corporate and celebrity divisions. It will culminate with the national championships of the magazine's Community Street Soccer Program, in which disadvantaged players vie for the top spot. For something different, the Casula Powerhouse is screening the finalists in the 48 Machinima film festival (Saturday and Sunday, 9am-7pm, casulapowerhouse.com, free but bookings required), which features short films made entirely with the use of video game avatars.

What would the Beatles be like if John and George were alive and up for a reunion tour? Preschoolers are about to find out their equivalent as Greg Page dons the yellow skivvy for the first time in six years and rejoins Anthony, Jeff and Murray in the ''classic'' line-up of The Wiggles (Wednesday to April 20, Enmore Theatre, enmoretheatre.com.au, 9550 3666, $32.50). The group are playing at a smaller venue than their usual arenas, perhaps anticipating that their current fan base might miss lead singer Page's erstwhile replacement, Sam Moran - after all, the children who grew up with Page are now too big for Wiggles shows. Still, from what Metro understands, at least the mums won't mind. George Palathingal
A choose-your-own-adventure work by kids' playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer, Escape from Peligro Island gives the audience hand-held controllers and the chance to steer the play's narrative (Thursday to April 28, various times, Opera House studio, sydneyoperahouse.com, 9250 7777, $25-$29). Windmill Theatre's multimedia production - suited to children aged seven and over - starts with a plane crash-landing on a mysterious island. Audience members direct a cast of actors to negotiate such possible hazards as aliens, vampires, superheroes and time machines. Popular multi-arts night Cabinet returns with theatre, music, digital arts performance and a lei-making workshop (Saturday, 8pm, the Red Rattler Theatre, redrattler.org, $7). Performances include Smalltown's Matt Prest and James Brown (of music-theatre innovators Whale Chorus) offering a new theatre work - described as ''The Mighty Boosh with glow sticks''. Also appearing: Dan MacKinlay's digitally manoeuvred kitchen sounds and 1920s songs from Godfrey Uke and his orchestra. Lenny Ann Low
Every building follows a script. Hallways and foyers direct people in certain directions, theme parks offer visitors an emotional journey, while churches and temples have their stories to tell. Alternate Universal Studios (until April 21, Wednesday to Sunday, noon-6pm, Firstdraft Gallery, 116-118 Chalmers Street, Surry Hills, 9698 3665), featuring the work of artists Rosie Deacon, J.D. Reforma, Marilyn Schneider and Giselle Stanborough, highlights the often invisible ways buildings and environments are constructed experiences with a ideological purpose. Using sculpture, video, installation and the web, the artists hope to highlight the code behind the walls and set the visitor free. The artists give a gallery talk on April 21 from 2pm. Andrew Frost
If you've read The Great Gatsby one too many times and want an excuse to wear pearl necklaces, zoot suits and fedoras, then the Prohibition Cocktail Tour might be for you (Wednesday, 6.30pm-9.30pm, Surry Hills and Darlinghurst, $65 - price includes cocktails and food to share, see bartours.com.au). Sponsored by Ketel One, the tour will take you to three different small bars with a speakeasy vibe - and to keep an air of secrecy, you'll only be told about which bars you'll be visiting on the day. You'll also get to meet the owners and find out a little bit about each bar plus, of course, meet a whole lot of new people. Dan Kaufman
On the scene

My favourite pub in Sydney is the East Sydney Hotel (corner Crown and Cathedral streets, Wolloomooloo, 9358 1975) - it's the pub that famously has not one poker machine. Every Sunday, from 5pm to 8pm, they have live music and in April it's Geoff Bull, one of the old guard of Australian jazz and a magnificent trumpet player. I'm also going to the Mu-Meson Archives's Sounds of Seduction night on Saturday (The Vanguard, Newtown, 8pm, mumeson.org, $15). The Mu-Meson Archives are run by Jay Katz and Miss Death, who host cult cinema nights. Sounds of Seduction is great fun with groovy DJs. Dick & Christa Hughes's 21st Century Blues at Riverside Theatres on April 28, riversideparramatta.com.au, $40. Sarah Thomas

Infectious grooves. Slap bass. Hypnotic alto sax lines. A sweating, heaving audience. Maceo Parker may be 69 but I expect the renowned funk saxophonist and his band to deliver an unforgettable show at The Basement (tonight at 9.30 and midnight, Saturday 7.30pm and midnight, moshtix.com.au, 9251 2797; $129.75/$79.75). He has played with some of the greats including Bootsy Collins, George Clinton and Prince, and will no doubt have a super band. The North Carolina native talks to Metro about playing with (and getting docked by) James Brown and why he still enjoys touring the world and delivering his incisive sax lines over the funkiest of beats. Watch out, people, I may even dance tonight. Masses of young girls will be heading to see the talented lads of One Direction tonight at the Hordern Pavilion (sold out), but I'm tempted to catch Cold Chisel rock out at the same venue on Wednesday (8pm, 13 28 49, $110). The show is being beamed live into cinemas across the country, too, so you can enjoy choc tops, Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss all at once (see cinemalive.com). Daniel Fallon

On Monday March 17th my dad had a training accident. He was jumping out of airplanes, I know I know, but he is army and that;s what they do. anyways he landed in a tree and then fell 30 feet when the branches broke.
He dislocated his knee and cut off blood flow to his foot for 7 hours before he could get to a hospital that could do the surgery to try to get blood to his foot. He also tore all 4 ligaments in his knee.
He's out of ICU now and doing OK, but I miss my daddy and want him to get better and come home.
I had to drop out of school, mommy can't be with daddy and take me to class. I just want my daddy back.
Well last night was my first class. I was nervous and pulling mommy all over the place. I was panting and just wanted to go home. I didn't quite know what to do I wanted to do what mommy said but there were about 15 other dogs there and they were barking and jumping around. Mommy said this class is a lot bigger then Sampson's class.
Once we got in there and started I was ok for about the first 5 minutes. It was hot in there and I didn't want to do anything. After all I already know what they were teaching. Attention, sit and down. I was much more interested in all the other dogs.
I was bad and pulled and came out of my collar twice. Mommy had to grab me by my scruff and pull me back to her, then fight me to get the collar back on. I just didn't want to be there. Eventually I just laid on the floor and watched what was going on.
It didn't go well. My next class is next Tuesday night and I am not sure I want to go.
Ewewwww. Mommy went and did it. She had been threatening to do it. Well, today she did it.
I am officially enrolled in school. Bleck. My first class is next Tuesday. Since mom already went with Sampson she doesn't have to go to tomorrow nights class for the orientation.
We both just have to go for the first class with dogs which is next week. :/
On a good note, went to PetsMart yesterday and I weigh 101.7 pounds.

Did you not rant and jump up and down, moaning and groaning about people being racisists and bigots?"Can always tell when you get upset...you show your true colors every time."
Meh...not so much anger as it is frustration with your incessant whining and criticism of the black community. I think we all get your point. What's even more repulsive is the fact that, your HYPER-criticism of the black community is probably not based on love or even the slightest bit of concern. We are an easy group for you and everyone else to bash and make fun of. Obviously, I don't know you or your true motives, but if my assertion is true, based on what I've seen and read from you, then you are truly one disgusting individual.
"Blacks have an identity crises on their hands, and can't deal with it."
Well I can't argue with that one lol. Some of us do. However, white people are partly responsible for that because of slavery. We, the descendants of slaves in America, bear the last names of our former owners. Black people were force fed European lies, chauvinism, and in some cases European DNA through rape. We were robbed of our language, culture, folk ways, family ties, and even our God. This is well documented. Don't waste your time or mine trying to Google some white racist website to try and whitewash (pun intended) or excuse FACT. So yes, we do have an identity crisis.
"You want to really align yourselves with africa, what a joke...africa sold your ancestors off for a few spices and some clothing...no wonder you have an identity crises."
Very true. Some blacks do want to align themselves with Africa. Great! That's their business. Me and my family, well, we're American citizens. I know nothing about Africa as my family has been here probably around 200 years. As far as African treachery, well, that is really no different than European treachery, or Jewish treachery. History teaches that no "race" is above robbing, raping, or pillaging themselves. Anything else?
"Your problem kally, is that you are in denial, and you hide it by calling people racist...unable to face facts or reality. This again, is very typical of blacks and their sympathizers."
You know what your problem is "Real Deally"? Your brain is made of stone. It's incapable of absorbing anything I say. Your favorite catchphrases are: "Denial" and "one-trick-pony". Both these phrases describe you to the letter. I've acknowledged every critique you've made about the black community but you keep saying "Denial" like a broken record. I really think that you are truly mentally impaired.
Lol find some other group to pick on. You do know it's more problems to life that "urban blacks".
It is very typical for blacks to pull this race card outta theirasses.
I think this is a crutch, just as much as I believe blacks STILL leaning on slavery (something that ended 150 years ago) its nothing but foolishness. The fact is, the majority of blacks were free in the northern states long before that.
So leaning on the "slavery" argument is stupid, silly, and a bunch of bulllshitt.
Again, its a crutch and a nonsense empty crutch at that!
I assume you are republican based on earlier conversations with you...the slavery argument is as weak as blaming Bush for things that the current administration is responsible for now.
If the pseudo afrikans that live in the US were so angry about slavery against their African ancestors, then they would be mad at the muslims that have enslaved their African ancestors for 14 centuries, and even do to this day.
Again, the slavery thing is stupid and overplayed...stick a fork in it cause its done!
By the way...its not my place to help blacks, they made their bed, now they have to live in it...and if they can't fix it, well then they get ridiculed!
What do you and your fellow black posters do to help clean up your fellow blacks mess in the "hood"?
I've given enough to the lazy blacks...the free ride is over!

Hopefully this bike helmet is the most useless thing you own. Hopefully it's a waste of money. Hopefully your kid rides a bike so perfectly and brilliantly that they don't even NEED this thing! But just in case… well, won't you feel better knowing you've covered all the bases?
This is a good price. Ive seen these in stores for as much as 29.99.
I got one of these for my daughter a couple weeks ago. It doesn't mention it but, the Tinkerbell helmet has sparkling lights built into the helmet. A lil something extra for that head!
I was thinking of getting one of these for my cousin's little girl, but I don't see Vidia on the helmet. Vidia is her favorite character. (She's the purple, snippy one, right?)

LSSU fisheries expertise helps UP sportsmen's club

LSSU Fisheries and Wildlife Management
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. – Good things happen when the interests of scientists and sportsmen overlap. At least that's what the Hiawatha Sportsmen's Club (HSC) and Lake Superior State University's fisheries and wildlife management program have discovered with a collaboration that's going into a sixth year.
The two are working together to improve the quality of HSC land and water holdings across 35,000 acres in eastern Mackinac County. The private club, formed in 1927, boasts three trout ponds, a wilderness-secluded golf course, exclusive access along Lakes Michigan and Millecoquins, as well as a nature and historical museum. It approached LSSU's biology department in 2003 for advice on how to inventory and best manage its resources.

Galvas is doing his senior thesis research on using northern pike to control the population of yellow perch in HSC lakes. (Photo by Nick Vitale)

The partnership has blossomed into a continuing hands-on learning opportunity for LSSU students who are doing senior thesis projects, taking class field trips, and gaining practical experiences for the university's Fisheries and Wildlife Club. The relationship consolidated itself even more in 2006 when HSC created a scholarship for students who display academic excellence and participate in projects on club lands.
Last September, Prof. Geoff Steinhart's fisheries management class met with club officials in Engadine, Mich., to conduct a three-day expedition that examined more than 3,000 fish in three lakes. The data they collected will assess the status of fisheries on club properties and develop management plans to improve the lakes' fisheries.
Twelve students noted the abundance, composition, and condition of fish, along with several other aspects of the lakes, including water quality and aquatic insect communities. The class will spend the rest of this semester analyzing data and developing management plans for improving the fishing and lake quality. Once the class develops these plans, they will be reviewed, debated, and revised before being presented to the HSC this winter.

Projects like these that tap LSSU faculty and student expertise have exceeded the HSC's expectations.
"I am a retired educator and have been very impressed with the quality of work done by the students from LSSU that are working with our fishery here at HSC," says John MacFarland, a club governor and director of the HSC fish program. "Their work is of excellent quality and very helpful to the Hiawatha Club. They are helping us solve some problems we are having with our lakes and also helping us develop management plans for these lakes."
He adds that other club members are especially impressed with the work of students who earn HSC scholarships.
HSC manager Lester Livermore considers the whole arrangement to be an investment that will pay dividends for everyone who enjoys the outdoors.
"Time and time again they have proven to me that they have the skill, knowledge, and desire that future wildlife managers will need to deal with the challenges ahead."
The Hiawatha Sportsmen's Club enjoys a region rich in history, hunting, fishing, canoeing, hiking, and more. Find out more by pointing your Web browser to here on the Web.

Appeals court set to take up Gerald case
BATON ROUGE - The First Circuit Court of Appeal is about to take up the case involving a man who killed seven people during a drunk driving crash in 2012.
Brett Gerald pleaded guilty to the crime, and was initially sentenced to 70 years in prison. However, he was re-sentenced last year to 35 years after the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled homicides were a crime of violence and offenders needed to serve nearly 90 percent of their sentence.
Jill Craft is representing the victims' family members, who have been concerned since this case went to court that they haven't gotten a fair shake.
"It's just been such a difficult process and it doesn't have to be and never should have been," Craft said. "What has been an absolute tragedy is compounded by the fact that they have been so disregarded and so ignored."
The victims' family discovered a pre-sentence report did not contain information on Gerald's prior three DWI arrests at the time of his sentencing. The document was not amended until after Gerald had already been sentenced.
"The hardest thing about this case is the fact that my clients all they've tried to do is obtain some measure of justice and have someone listen to them," Craft said.
The three judge panel is expected to take up the appeal next week, but there won't be any oral arguments. That's something that concerns the victims' family, but isn't necessarily unusual according to Craft.
Gerald's attorney Tommy D'Amico believes his client received an unfair sentence.
"If it's a single transaction, you don't look at each individual one as a separate one," D'Amico said. "That's what the judge did."
D'Amico claims the law only allows an offender to receive up to 30 years for a single transaction crash, and he's appealing because Gerald received 35. D'Amico believes a fair sentence in this case is somewhere between 10 to 15 years for the seven deaths.
Craft feels differently.
"What if it were three generations of my family and my nieces, nephews and grandchildren," Craft said. "I can honestly say from my perspective I don't think there's any amount of time that would seem adequate to me."
D'Amico said if the Court of Appeal rules against him, he'll take the issue up to the state Supreme Court. It could take up to three months for the panel to render a decision.
The panel will hear the case on March 26.

Measurements to the Tenth of a Millimetre
Comparing the measurements of two or more bits of kit can be vital. If your shelf is x- mm wide, y-mm deep and z-mm tall then kit whose dimensions exceeds these measurements is clearly no good to you (unless you are prepared for some DIY shelf alterations).
Sometimes comparing dimensions is done for rather less practical reasons. You just really want a slimline external hard drive, or attractively proportioned printer, thin digital camera, or whatever.
I accept all that, and am quite partial to a bit of proportion comparison myself. But really, do we have to go down to the tenth of a millimetre to make a comparison?
I see this degree of precision used in the measurement of mobile devices a lot and it irks me. I don't know about you, but I can't judge the difference between 91.8mm and 91.6mm by eye. No pocket in asny of my clothing is going to burst asunder at the need to accommodate a few mm. And when choosing a device while I do take into account its overall dimensions - including weight – I round up or down in the traditional way. Two or three or even five tenths of a millimetre here or there isn't going to make or break a purchase.
Pink Stuff for Women
Anyone who knows me will have seen this one coming. Note to marketers: some women will buy stuff because it is pink just as some men will buy stuff because it is black.
But both the colour palette and the great wide world of individual personalities and preferences is vast and you do your customers an injustice by failing to reflect that. Worse, you patronise them terribly by trying to sell them stuff because it is pink (or black).
I know, I know, every time you add a colour to a product range you up the production costs. But it can be done. The PEBL may be badly named, but Motorola sure does a good line in colour variation. Notebook makers are trying to vary colours away from silver and black but tend to get a bit hung up on red. Just one example is Samsung's new Q40. Then again, PC World online is also selling a pink version.
For the record, I rather like emerald green and yellow. Psychologists go figure what that says about me.
MicroSD Memory Cards
Simply put, a flash memory card that is the size of microSD is just too small. At about half the size of a SIM the cards are fiddly to swap in and out of devices.
Now, as mobile devices get smaller, thinner and lighter the memory cards they accommodate consume valuable space that could be shaved off the overall size, and so it is understandable that smaller card formats are developed.
Compare microSD to Compact Flash and you can see how far we have come.
How much further can we go, though? I'd guess not much. Just as keyboards have an ergonomic limit in miniaturisation beyond which it becomes impossible for us to use them, so do flash memory cards. It's our own fault, really, we humans, for having such clumpy hands, but there's not a lot we can do about that.
OK, there are a few things I'd like to see the back of in 2007.
Now it is over to you. I'll be watching the Forums.

Inaccurate constants?
If I execute the following:
<< Miscellaneous`PhysicalConstants`
<< Miscellaneous`Units`
Convert[GravitationalConstant*EarthMass/EarthRadius^2, Meter/Second^2]
I get 9.7997 Meters/Sec^2 - which is a rather inaccurate value for g!
I wonder if the EarthMass value has been calculated from one value of
G and a different value has been used in the package (G is hard to
measure and its accepted value has shifted somewhat).
I got that result while demonstrating Mathematica to a colleague, so
it was a bit embarrassing!

When Did Modern Humans Arrive in South Asia?
Tuesday, June 11, 2013
HUDDERSFIELD, ENGLAND—Martin Richards of the University of Huddersfield argues that modern humans did not reach southern Asia before the super-eruption of the Mount Toba volcano in Sumatra, some 74,000 years ago. Stone tools, found in India below a layer of ash from the Toba volcano, had suggested that people had possibly left Africa and arrived in India as early as 120,000 years ago. Based upon evidence from modern mitochondrial DNA collected in India and other research, Richards says that modern humans arrived in India no earlier than 60,000 years ago. "There were people in India before the Toba eruption, because there are stone tools there, but they could have been Neanderthals—or some other pre-modern population," Richard explains.

Michael Bargo Trial Continues
Published August 15th, 2013
Loading Video...
On Thursday a number of experts and law enforcement officers testified in the Michael Bargo trial.
Bargo is charged with first degree murder for the death of Seath Jackson.
Prosecutors showed picture of a floating paint bucket that was taken back in April 2011.
Seath Jackson's remains were found at a limerock quarry after he was brutally murdered.
"The information that we were provided was that there were three buckets and only observing one bucket we knew that we had to look for an additional two and the potential of them being under the water," said a Marion County deputy.
Prosecutors said 21-year-old Michael Bargo allegedly led a group of teens into beating shooting and throwing Jackson's body in a fire pit.
On Thursday a Lessburg medical examiner testified about Jackson's cause of death.
"In my opinion the cause of death was gunshot wound or wounds and blood force trauma and my opinion the manner of death is homicide," said a witness.
After listening to several experts and law enforcement officers, the jury heard
from William Fockler who was in the booking area at the Marion County Jail when Bargo was brought in by the SWAT team.
"Then he said we basically dragged his body in the bathtub. Bargo tried to break his legs or something with a bat or piece of wood, he woke up again and that's when he said walked back out got the gun came back in and shot him a couple more time to make sure he was completely dead," said Fockler.
Bargos defense attorney Charles Holloman did not cross examine many witnesses on Thursday, but did question Fockler about Bargos confession.
"He just kept saying I so I assumed it was him until I read stuff later. I didn't know there was other people that had did anything," said Fockler.
On top of all the witnesses who testified today, several pieces of evidence were presented in court.
Most of them are very graphic. The pictures show Jacksons charred bones.

MIRZA ZUKIC: Steelers winning despite inefficient red-zone offense
Call it Big Ben being diplomatic or call it Big Ben not willing to throw his teammates under the bus. Whatever it is, he's just flat out wrong.
Roethlisberger and the Steelers' offense have every reason to feel good after last week's season-best 37-point outing against a respectable Detroit defense.
But if there was one glaring problem even as the Steelers piled up 398 yards and shredded the Lions was the red zone inefficiency. Pittsburgh went 1-for-4, converting on its final possession inside the Lions' 20-yard line late in the fourth quarter.
Yet after Wednesday's practice, Roethlisberger said the difference in the offense in recent weeks — during Pittsburgh's current 4-2 stretch following an 0-4 start — has been the red-zone offense.
"We've done a little better in the red zone," Roethlisberger said. "If you ask me, we still have a long way to go in that area of our offense, but we've gotten better. We've scored a couple times when we've got down there. ... We still left a lot out there so we still have a long way to go."
Hard to argue with the fact the Steelers' offense has ways to go in the red zone.
But it's even harder to take Roethlisberger seriously when he says they've improved in the red zone.
Here's the Steelers' red-zone efficiency, game-by-game this season.
• 1-for-2 vs. the Titans
• 1-for-1 vs. the Bengals
• 0-for-2 vs. the Bears
• 3-for-6 vs. the Vikings
• 0-for-2 vs. the Jets
• 1-for-3 vs. the Ravens
• 2-for-4 vs. the Raiders
• 3-for-4 vs. the Patriots
• 2-for-5 vs. the Bills
• 1-for-4 vs. the Lions
That's 14-for-33, a less than impressive 42 percent and the reason the Steelers are ahead of only four teams in red-zone efficiency.
The Steelers didn't win last week because of their red-zone offense.
They won because Antonio Brown turned two short passes into long touchdowns with his speed.
They won because the defense clamped down in the second half and shut out Matthew Stafford, Megatron and the Lions' potent offense.
They won because they averaged 7.5 yards per play on first down, opening up their entire playbook for second- and third-down calls.
The Steelers didn't win last week because of their red-zone offense. If anything, the red-zone offense hindered the Steelers last week. They should have put up 45-plus points and won by at least another touchdown.
The fact the Steelers converted on their final red-zone possession — on Roethlisberger's touchdown pass to Jerricho Cotchery that iced the game — might have masked some of your eyes. The sheer fact they scored 37 points might have done the same.
But don't forget the Steelers had a first-and-goal from the half-yard line and had to kick a field goal.
Part of the problem is that the Steelers are too predictable in the red zone. Their running game is too predictable. In the passing game, they lack a tall receiver who is a big target in the red zone; a guy Big Ben can lob passes to on fade patterns in the corner of the end zone.
And that makes the decision to make Derek Moye inactive the past two games all the more intriguing.
Though hardly a household name, Moye is the Steelers' only receiver taller than 6-foot-1. If there's a better place to use him than the red zone, I'd like to know it.
I know he dropped a ball in the end zone against the Ravens a few weeks back, but he also came up with a touchdown on a fade pattern in the Week 2 loss to the Bengals. Big name or not, his 6-foot-5 frame makes him a red-zone threat. The Steelers need to use him more.
Imagine where the Steelers could be if they were just a little better in the red zone this year. They might be in first place in the AFC North.
The Steelers are winning despite their red-zone offense, not because of it.

Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
At any one time, our branch has dozens of animals in its care. By choosing to adopt from the BC SPCA you are choosing to give a homeless animal a second chance at a happy life.
All applicants are carefully screened to ensure our animals are placed in the best possible home. BC SPCA animals are matched with guardians based on their general lifestyle and the type of care they can provide. To some it may seem rigorous but we want to ensure adopters understand the commitment they are embarking on.
We try to place animals in permanent homes so they don't end up back in our shelters. All adoptions require a completed application and an interview with an SPCA representative.
Visit our adoption information section for a list of frequently asked questions.
Please note: All dogs, cats and rabbits will be spayed or neutered prior to adoption.
We regularly feature homeless animals currently in our care, who are in need of a forever home. Check back often for new features, and updates on previous features.
We feature all available animals for adoption online with access to other locations throughout B.C.
Choosing to care for an animal is a big decision. The following information is designed to help confirm that you are ready to bring an animal into your home and life.
Dog - General
Dog - Toy Size
Puppy (under 6 months) - General
Puppy (under 6 months) - Toy Size
Kitten (under 6 months)
*Fees subject to change without notice. All BC SPCA cat/kitten/dog/puppy adoptions include a microchip and that the companion animal must be registered with BC Pet Registry. Registration is $45 for lifetime protection which will be added to the above adoption fee. For more information please visit bcpetregistry.ca.
Speed up your application process if you find an animal available for adoption online or met one at our branch and needed more time to commit. Complete as much of the attached application as possible, and bring it with you to our branch when you come to adopt.
The cost of animal adoption from BC SPCA branches may vary slightly in different regions; this is due to demand for animals, cost of care within the region, etc. The cost of a shelter cat or dog includes spay/neuter (or discount for the operation if it has not been done prior to adoption), a health guarantee, and vaccinations. In addition, many of our branches are able to include other extras such as flea control, collars and leashes and more. To learn more, visit our main site for BC SPCA cost of care information.

The integrity of our judging — how it works
Five judges from across Canada are appointed by the Leacock Board of Directors for a term of approximately three years. The members of the jury remain anonymous throughout their tenure; as well, they have no contact whatsoever with one another.
There is a reading committee located in Orillia comprised of approximately twelve members who remain on the committee for varying lengths of time.
Each entry is read by the judges and the members of the reading committee, then given a score from one to ten points. Each judge submits his or her top ten books, with the first choice receiving a score of ten, the second nine and so forth. The reading committee follows the same scoring system, and those results are averaged to give the committee the equivalent of one vote.
Therefore, each judge has one vote, as does the reading committee in whole, for a total of six votes. The book with the highest number of votes is declared the winner; the shortlist consists of the two books with the next highest scores.
It is important to note that each judge acts independently in order to ensure fairness.

Missouri grapples with one of the USA's worst meth problems
HILLSBORO, Mo. – For more than a dozen years, the wooded hills and valleys of Jefferson County have hidden a dark side of life here: a drug problem so pervasive that some people call this rural area "Metherson County."
Methamphetamine has a tight grip on this county south of St. Louis, says Cpl. Timothy Whitney of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, who manages a county drug task force. Jefferson County leads the state in meth lab seizures — a sign, he says, of aggressive enforcement as well as the scope of its problem.
Through Nov. 28, there were 6,915 seizures of meth labs, equipment and dumpsites nationwide; Missouri led all states with 1,744. So far this year, there have been 234 seizures in Jefferson County.
PHOTOS: Meth in Missouri
"We have no bigger problem than most of the counties in Missouri," Whitney says, but its team approach leads to more busts. Through the end of November, there were 75 drug-related misdemeanor and 340 felony arrests, many prompted by anonymous tips.
Meth continues to plague communities across the nation despite getting scant attention, says UCLA psychiatry professor Richard Rawson. "You'd think there's no meth problem, he says, but in many economically depressed rural areas it's still used "to cope with … difficulty and poverty."
Steven Shoptaw, a family medicine professor at UCLA, says the nation "is not yet past the chapter on methamphetamine." As the problem persists, he says, budget woes are shrinking resources to address the problem. "There's just an air of desperation that's out there," he says.
Whitney's task force has nine investigators, down from 12 in 2005, and it will lose two more Jan. 1 when a federal grant that subsidizes task force salaries expires. "The problem is going up, but the manpower is going down," Whitney says.
Jefferson County was the first in Missouri to end over-the-counter sales of cold and allergy remedies containing pseudoephedrine, a key meth ingredient, but neighboring St. Louis County has no restrictions. Under state law, people can buy up to 9 grams of pseudoephedrine every 30 days.
Until there's a statewide requirement that those medicines can be sold only with a prescription, Whitney says, the battle against meth labs won't be won.
Meth lab seizures
Top states for seizures of methamphetamine labs¸ equipment and dumpsites, Jan. 1-Nov. 28:
1. Missouri 1,744
2. Kentucky 770
3. Indiana 661
4. Oklahoma 659
5. Illinois 481`
6. Michigan 293
7. North Carolina 277
8. Iowa 260
9. Mississippi 259
10. Arkansas 232
Source: El Paso Intelligence Center, led by the Drug Enforcement Administration and staffed by 15 federal agencies to track transnational crime
Oregon and Mississippi have reported dramatic decreases in meth lab seizures since laws requiring prescriptions for all pseudoephedrine sales were enacted. The Missouri House passed a similar bill this year; it died in the state Senate.
Labs hard to find
Meth use is down nationwide, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, released in September by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. The number of people who said they had used meth in the past month fell from 731,000 in 2006 to 353,000 in 2010.
Meth arrived in Jefferson County around 1998, Whitney says. Once people got hooked, they started making, or cooking, it. It's harder to find meth labs here because there are no big-scale manufacturers, just hundreds of individual "mom and pop" cooks, he says.
There is, however, a broad network of people who buy medications containing pseudoephedrine and sell it to the cooks, a practice called smurfing, Whitney says. In the past three years or so, young heroin users have begun smurfing to make money so they can buy heroin.
A box of Sudafed that costs $8 or $9, he says, can be sold to meth cooks for $100, which is enough for 10 small heroin doses. Whitney expects almost 30 heroin overdose deaths this year in this county of 219,000.
Law enforcement officials began tracking another trend in 2007 that made busting meth cooks even more difficult: a "one pot" method. The drug is mixed in a 2-liter soda bottle, often in moving cars. When the process is complete, the leftover toxic materials are tossed out the car window.
Corrosive social impact
The social consequences of Jefferson County's meth problem are dire, says Circuit Court Judge Darrell Missey, who presides over family court. "I look at my job like I'm in the emergency room," he says.
At a time of shrinking public resources, Missey wishes there were money for an in-patient treatment center for girls to match the existing one for boys and a "recovery school" to transition students coming out of treatment. The community is committed, he says, but "the question is always about the money."
Ruthie Edwards agrees. She's a substance abuse counselor at Comtrea, a not-for-profit mental health agency in Festus, and a member of Methamphetamine Action Coalition, a community group.
The coalition's grant funding ran out a few years ago. Edwards says the county needs a program that allows judges to appoint special advocates for children. There are plans for training to help "break the code of silence" when someone in the family is cooking meth and a school program that warns about the dangers of even a single dose of heroin.
Where will the money come from? "We don't know at this point," Edwards says.
Missey says the community won't stop fighting drugs, with or without government funds. "We're just going to have to be creative," he says.

An upmarket Mayfair Mexican from Arjun Waney - the chap behind Zuma, Roka and Oblix at The Shard. Despite the name - taken from the Mexican cactus from which mescaline is derived - trips here usually remain entrenched in reality.
The poshed-up Mexican food ranges from guacamole, grilled cactus and octopus with a lemon salsa to lobster ceviche, Chilean sea bass with a coriander and pineapple sauce, and chuleta de cordero - lamb chops served here with a mint and habinero salsa. Desserts include churros, a whiskey crème caramel and cheesecake with a hibiscus granite.
Mezcal and tequila feature prominently on Peyote's cocktail list, with a wide array of both available by the glass and bottle, too. The wine list does feature a couple of Mexican bottles but wisely concentrates on well-known winemaking regions for the rest of the list - expect plenty of old world options.
A three-course set lunch menu is a good choice for those on a budget.

Blatter wins fifth FIFA term as challenger concedes
By Mike Collett and Brian Homewood
ZURICH (Reuters) - Sepp Blatter was re-elected president of FIFA for a fifth term on Friday after his only challenger conceded defeat in an election overshadowed by allegations of rampant corruption in world soccer.
Blatter won despite demands that he quit in the face of a major bribery scandal being investigated by U.S., Swiss and other law enforcement agencies that plunged soccer's governing body into the worst crisis in its 111-year history.
Yet his mandate, which was far from convincing, raises fresh questions over his leadership with the possibility of civil war in international football, unhappy sponsors demanding reform and prosecutors looking to widen their investigations.
Neither Blatter nor Jordanian opponent Prince Ali bin Al Hussein received the necessary two thirds of votes in the first round, with Blatter securing 133 votes against 73 for Prince Ali. However, Prince Ali swiftly conceded.
"I congratulate you if you voted for Prince Ali, he was a good candidate, but I am the president now, the president of everybody," the 79-year-old Blatter said in his victory speech, knowing he faces a barrage of criticism and countless problems.
UEFA, the powerful European confederation, has been staunchly opposed to another term for the Swiss official and UEFA president Michel Platini has even raised the possibility, albeit unlikely, of Europe boycotting the World Cup.
There has also been talk of UEFA breaking away from FIFA, which is also unlikely, but nothing can be ruled out.
Blatter's future could yet depend on the reaction of FIFA's major sponsors and stakeholders who have been deeply dismayed by the dawn arrests in Zurich on Wednesday of several FIFA officials and U.S. prosecutors announcing indictments of officials and companies. Continued...

Out of Sight, Out of Mind/Out of Mind, out of Site: Schooling and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Graham, Linda J. (2006) Out of Sight, Out of Mind/Out of Mind, out of Site: Schooling and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. In MacKenzie, Jim (Ed.) Philosophy in Education Society of Australasia 2006 Annual Conference, 24th - 26th November 2006, University of Sydney.
|PDF (344kB)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a diagnostic term now indelibly scored on the public psyche. It is one of the most widely researched topics in the world today. In some quarters, a diagnosis of "ADHD" is regarded with derision. In others, it can be a god-send. It appears the jury is still out with regards to the "truth" of ADHD. As such, the rapid increase in diagnosis over the past fifteen years, coupled with an exponential rise in the prescription of restricted class psychopharmaceuticals has stirred virulent debate. Provoking the most interest, it seems, are questions regarding causality. Typically, these revolve around possible antecedents for "disorderly" behaviour – bad food, bad tv and bad parents. Very seldom is the institution of schooling ever in the line of sight. This paper draws on doctoral research that attempts to investigate this gap by questioning what might be happening in schools how this may be contributing to the definition, recognition and classification of particular children as a particular kind of "disorderly".

Thread: The 11/11/11 Project
The 11/11/11 Project
We like the sound of 11/11/11 as a date to pay off all our personal debt (will still have a mortgage). It will be a stretch as we worked out a current snowball amount which has us debt free by early 2012 but hey what the heck, we're in the mood for getting rid of this debt once and for all so are throwing everything we have at it.
Have paid off two credit cards (smaller balances) and working on the third which am planning to pay off at the end of the month. That will leave the big credit card, the even bigger line of credit and the car lease (although we are planning to sell the car and pay out the lease early).
Am onto my second reading of the The Total Money Makoever and it is motivating me big time! Mr mango often does not read that kind of book but even he is looking forward to getting stuck into it. We worked out the other day that we are still paying off things like groceries and petrol from years and years ago, things long forgotton or eaten! It just makes me sick to think about it and is giving me added motivation.
I thought I would use these thread as a means to stay accountable along the way so will pop in regularly to update where we are at.
Here's to a debt free life!

Love the idea!!!!!!!!
You know.....
I don't have a specific date for being debt free since we zap our debt when we have commissions most of the time, BUT in terms of CC debt combined with our car loan, we are at about 21K from being paid off, (then just mortgage which is down to 25K).
Soooo there is a possibility with all the stuff we are doing selling and with a decent summer of commissions that we might be able to hit 11/11/11 too at least on the CC/Carloan side of our debt!
Thanks for the post here I think I am gonna talk to my wife and mark our fridge calendar today (top of each month 11/11/11 as a reminder)...
It would be cool to see who else might be able to commit to that date and do their best on reaching a specific goal, fun thread and I mean it i am gonna talk to my wife tonight about this 11/11/11 idea...

I am still somewhat new to the DR stuff here, but screaming I am debt free is only for those who pay off all their debt (house included) right?
If so then hopefully on 11/11/11 i can scream i am debtfree on my creditcards and car loan at least
Bill03-11-2011, 12:13 PM #5
You can call in even if you still have the house debt.03-11-2011, 03:05 PM #6
Thanks so much everyone for your support, makes this whole journey so much more doable knowing people understand what you want to achieve and what you are prepared to do to get it.
The more I think about it the more I realise that we really have to deal with our finances so very differently than we have over the past 20 years otherwise we will end up with not much show for our working life other than a house (a highly mortgaged house at that!). Since January we've started using the envelopes system and we are actually living below our means which just blows me away. Overspending and mismanaging our money has been part of our life for so long, the simple act of living within our means and actually paying down the debt gives me more joy than I could have ever imagined. Who would have thought!
Mr Mom and Lady V November is OUR month. Let's join forces and get this done. If there's anybody else out there who would like to join us you are more than welcome.03-11-2011, 03:13 PM #7

We evacuated at midnight - live across the street from the ocean. We are still at my classroom up the mountain overlooking the harbor. Damage to Lahaina and the Kahana area where we live, but we do not know how much.
Highway just opened and after 80 minutes, there is still a traffic jam trying to get down the mountain. Very inconsequential wehen compared to most anywhere else - especially Japan - am sick about what is happening there.
It is a gorgeous day here - sun is shining, sky is bright blue and the temperatures will be soaring.
Think I am going to have the garage sale that I've been planning soon - send some monies to Japan relief fund - every little bit helps for sure.03-11-2011, 03:55 PM #11
mauimagic, so glad to hear that you are ok. The images coming from Japan are just horrendous. Feel so sorry for those people, didn't have a chance. Really nice thought about donating your garage sale proceeds to their relief fund. You're so right every little bit does help.03-12-2011, 11:53 AM #12

We are in!!!!!!!
talked to wife about the 11/11/11 idea, she LOVED IT!
We are officially in, our goal is to get our current credit card and car loans paid off by 11/11/11 (that will leave us with only the house left).
It will be just over 21K to make this happen but we have a 5700 tax return coming that ALL of it is being applied and well I am still working my tail off on selling and doing whatever extra I can for $ to HAMMER on this stuff so with snowball, selling, taxes, commissions as they come in from wives work, we are thinking we might just be able to pull this off by 11/11/11!
If we do this our reward will be the next chunk we get we are buying a new couch (need one oh so bad)...
Bill03-12-2011, 03:31 PM #13
Great Mr Mom (and Mrs Mom!)!!! You are so in the zone, you can do this!
Have worked out that we have 243 days until we are debt free - yeah! And 8 little pays (my mid month part-time pay) and 8 big pays (both our end of month pays) to get this done. We are putting all of my part-time pay towards our snowball and some from Mr Mango's pay as well. It means cutting things to the absolute bare bones but it can and will be done!
Not sure I have much to sell. Have been a decluttering fiend over the past few months but I'm hoping once I attack the shed a few little "sell me" items will pop up.
PS great minds think alike! I was thinking I would put the challenge into my signature line too! Added motivation.03-13-2011, 08:33 AM #14
I think we may join on on the 11/11/11 quest...our initial goal was to be debt free except the house by 3/12, but it's been hard to map out anything more than a rough time line as my hubby works a 'regular' job with steady paycheck AND has his own business where work comes and goes. As it's been really busy the last bit, I think we could aim for that date too! Once we get our tax refund in the next week or two, we will have less than $9k left to go, so it should be doable (crossing fingers work stays steady for hubby in business).
One thing that has helped me immensely- we dabbled in 'snowballs' on and off for a while, but last July we got serious, wrote down all the debts, and tracking what we 'overpaid' per month into what. Being able to see hard, tangible #s of what we've done (and continue to do) has been a BIG help to stay motivated over not really knowing where we started or how much we have paid down. Seeing hard evidence it's working and how far we've come in such a short time (almost $20k paid off, not counting mortgage min. payments!) really makes me proud of us and keeps us 'gazelle'. Plus, I want to be able to write to Dave and say 'We paid of 'x' in 'y' time. Will still have the mortgage, but hoping to join you in the 'debt free except the house' on or before 11/11/11!03-13-2011, 08:56 AM #15

The next glutSteve Rosenbush
Internet and media companies are increasingly enamored with the idea of getting consumers to pay for what they view. The New York Times' new timesselect service will require Web non-subscribers to pay read the work of its op-ed columnists. eBay is acquiring Internet phone upstart Skype with the idea of getting its millions of customers to start paying for premium levels of service. Yahoo! and other portals want members to pay extra for everything from premium email to music and video services.
The last tech glut was the result of overcapacity on the infrastructure side of the business. The next glut may very well stem from a glut of capacity on the content side. Consumers are going to choose from an increasingly huge array of services. It's not necessarily a zero-sum game. If the selections are good, consumer spending on media could conceivably increase above today's level. But consumers don't have unlimited resources. They can't afford to support every worthwhile media venture (and I use that term in the broadest possible sense, mostly because I hate the term "content"). My feeling is that we're going to see a shakeout in the world of online media and services in the coming years.
I doubt that it will be as devastating as the last bust, which was exacerbated by the sector's buying binge was fueled with debt. Companies have much cleaner balance sheets this time around, so they can afford to write off losses without going into bankruptcy or wiping out their entire market cap.
But it's likely that relatively few players will succeed in charging for content on the Web. The structure may look a bit like cable TV, with consumers paying a flat fee of $40 or $50 a month for access to hundreds of services. There will be plenty of niche players that operate alongside them, but many of them will eventually end up as part of a larger network. That's one reason we're seeing so much Internet M&A right now. It seems the process of consolidation already has started. Paidcontent says News Corp. may be on the verge of two more acquisitions. Summing up News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch's comments at the Goldman Sachs conference, PaidContent says Murdoch plans to buy or lease search or VoIP capabilities within weeks.
