Audley Harrison dealt easily with the experienced Serbian, Ratko Draskovic, to earn his 10th successive professional victory on Saturday night at Wembley Conference Centre.
Afterwards he intimated that he could challenge for the British heavyweight title by the end of the year.
Yet Harrison lacked the power to stop Draskovic, clearly a journeyman, who received a standing count from referee Paul Thomas in the sixth round.
Draskovic, although defensively sound, threw few punches and was in essence a walking punchbag for the Olympic super-heavyweight champion, who dictated the tempo throughout.
A stoppage would have been significant, with Draskovic having proved durable over six rounds against European champion Sinan Samil Sam, the Germany-based Turk who overwhelmed British champion Danny Williams in Berlin last month.
Instead, Harrison, 6ft 7in and 17st 13lb, ended his 10-fight deal with the BBC, reportedly worth £1 million, without showing enough of his latent talent.
It is anticipated that the two camps will agree a new deal later this week, with the BBC believed to be insisting that the contract includes a British heavyweight title challenge.
Unfortunately, Harrison's next fight, on a date still to be fixed, should be another walkover. Matthew Ellis, from Blackpool, is 5ft 11in and, although possessing fast hands, fought at 15st on the Wembley undercard on Saturday.

If Salvador Dali was reborn as a Victorian interior decorator, it'd go a long way to explain the Stables. Bronzes of life-size ponies prance through prison-like architecture, and mini market stalls drip with prayer beads or Moroccan lamps. The punters and stallholders are no less characterful.
The Stables is essentially a honeycomb of over 400 boutiques, venues and clubs. Crowds flock to the catacombs, which features pop-art fronted vintage emporiums, and an ex-horse hospital that's gallery by day, and cabaret club by night.Look for a space to rent or enquire about doing pop up shops in the Stables market today.

"Fire Within" consists of painted cotton, with applique in silk, metallic-look fabric and cotton, couched yarn, hand embroidery and machine quilted. Note: The silk in the sky is scrunched up and fused to the surface with ironing, creating an interesting texture of folds and creases. This quilt is a reworking of an older piece seen below... my way of warming up the creative juices again. This is in line with my seasonal energy to clean out by moving unused things on. I am pleased with the new version. Thoughts? The quilt is available on Galleribba.

These socks were completed several months ago but never posted. My first project with breed specific yarn. Why breed specific you might ask... to aim for appropriate qualities with yarn that best suit the project. I chose the Blue Faced Leicester yarn both for its softness and durability, thanks to research in Deborah Robson's fascinating "Fleece and Fiber Sourcebook" and in her online (free) Craftsy class "Know your Wool" . The pattern is from Ann Budd's book "Sock Knitting Master Class" by designer, Evelyn A. Clark. I so enjoy lace patterns....

After creating the under-a-buck meal concept that now accounts for 12% of the industry's total burger business, Wendy's International is quietly testing ways to "evolve" its profit-pinching Super Value Menu with new products carrying higher prices. The new menu raises the price of the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger from 99¢ to $1.29, and adds items such as a yogurt-and-granola combo priced over $1.
A spokesman wouldn't confirm details, citing competitive reasons and company policy, but acknowledged that corporate and franchised units in a number of markets (including Chicago and Athens, Ohio) are in trial, with local TV, radio, outdoor and in-store marketing support. Interpublic Group of Cos.' McCann Erickson, New York, handles.
Wendy's for years has resisted pressure from franchisees to raise prices as food costs have gone up, said an executive close to Wendy's. It tested price hikes in the late 1980s to mid-1990s, but management held firm, the executive said, believing that consumers would be lured by the low prices and trade up when they placed their orders.
But times have changed. On April 6 Wendy's reported a 5.1% decline in same-store sales at company-owned stores, more steep than analysts expected. In a February conference call with analysts, Wendy's Chief Financial Officer Kerrii B. Anderson blamed lower margins on rising beef costs. "Despite the increase in same-store sales and menu-price increases, we were unable to offset the magnitude of the increases in beef, therefore our overall margins at Wendy's declined," she said at the time.
"Earnings per share is more important than market share," said Roger Blackwell, professor of marketing at Ohio State University's Fisher College. "If you can get an extra 20¢ or 30¢, that's worth more than looking at volume. Volume kills, profit thrills and too many firms make the mistake of focusing just on share. What you want is profitable share."
Raising prices is a good move for Wendy's, said Tom Miner, principal and restaurant consultant Technomic. "The industry, based on consumer preference, has pushed consistently into better and better premium and quality products and the top half has shown that they're willing to pay a bit more," he said. "It behooves [fast-food] hamburger concepts to get as much of that market as they can. It's not just that 99¢ as a pricing strategy is outdated or little flat, it's that the market is moving more upscale."
But will the industry follow?
It will only follow the leader, said Neil Stern, partner at McMillan Doolittle, and Wendy's is not the key player to walk away. "I don't think you'll see people follow Wendy's," he said. "I don't think it's like the airline industry. I don't think there's going to be a backlash."
McD's waits and sees
McDonald's for now is standing firm. "We're aware of what Wendy's is testing," Bill Lamar Jr., senior VP-chief marketing officer of McDonald's USA, said crisply. "We'll see how it does. We're always looking at our initiatives." McDonald's value offering has helped boost trade-up as seven in 10 U.S. customers who visited the Golden Arches for the dollar menu bought pricier items, McDonald's President Michael Roberts said in January.
For its part, Burger King already has bailed out of the value menu. Its 2-year-old line of 11 items priced at 99¢ has all but disappeared and is no longer a required menu, according to franchisees. Yum Brands' Taco Bell has also inched up prices on its Big Bell Value Menu with some prices topping out at $1.29.
But breaking the price cycle isn't as easy as it sounds. "When you start to have variations in price points and everything isn't a buck, that communication is no longer clear to the consumer," said Mr. Stern. Wendy's has "walked a fine balance and very successful balance of selling premium products with a halo of value. If you lose that, then you risk losing a lot of traffic."
Said David Aaker, professor of marketing at the University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business: "If you have a value offering, it's hard to dig your way out of it. It's easy to bring a brand down toward the value space but it's hard to recover."

How we differ
There are several providers of software testing certifications in Australia, so it's important to find the right one.
We thought we'd help by outlining 5 reasons why Disqover's training results in the most cost effective outcome for your software testing training dollar.
- We are Software Testing training specialists
- Personal Touch
- Different training options
- Experience counts
- Results
We are software testing training specialists
Our aim is simple: to be the premier provider of Software Testing Training in Australia. Not surprisingly, we decided early on that the best way to achieve this was to concentrate solely on our area of expertise – Software Testing Training.
The result is a series of courses that are fun, interactive, unique, inspiring, but above all else, educational. Choose carefully – you might find other providers aren't quite so focused.
The Personal Touch
We know our subject so well that we don't need to read off slides, look at notes and overly think about what we have to do next – when we train you – we are completely focused on YOU and getting the very best out of you during our training.
This is now instinctive to us and we are very much in tune with your needs. We are interactive- we will discuss any topic and involve all attendees in discussions- this is one of our greatest skills.
We understand that your results are our reputation, so we bend over backwards to help each and every one of our trainees get where they need to be.
We call it 'the personal touch', and we're proud it's an integral part of Disqover's training.
Different training options
Whether you want to learn in the classroom or at your own pace at home, we provide face to face or online training options for our ISTQB Foundation Certificate.
Our quality training materials make either option an informative and engaging way to learn.
Experience counts
When the real questions come, it's important to have someone who can answer from experience, rather than from a text book.
All our trainers are experienced practitioners with unmatched expertise in training software testing courses, especially the ISTQB stream.
We can talk all day about why we think our courses are the best in the field. But it doesn't mean much unless we can back it up with solid results.
From the period June 20 through to December , our pass rate is 93% – the highest published pass rate in software testing training in Australia.
Perhaps we don't actually need to say much more?

(Easily adaptable for Vegetarians*)
Tom Yum Soup, an aromatic, spicy, and sour Thai soup is one my comfort foods. This soup is sour and fragrant from the lemongrass and lime leaves, and soothing - try a homemade version once and you are likely to get hooked forever. Every so often, I crave these flavors; Or, when I'm down with a cold or flu, this soup warms me right up and comforts me so much so that for a brief while, it's almost fine to be sick. This is my contribution to Jugalbandi's Event CLICK: Liquid Comfort.
I stock up on the ingredients for this soup when I visit the local South East Asian store. Properly stored, lemongrass, lime leaves and galangal keep for a very long time in your freezer. (The lime leaves, galangal and lemongrass in the picture have been in my freezer for 5 months. As lemongrass ages, it may become just a touch less aromatic, so you may need to up the amount used in your recipe)
(Clockwise from top right: cilantro, green onions, button mushrooms, ginger, galangal, green chilies, lime leaves, lemongrass, lime)
Galangal tastes like an austere version of ginger, with overtones of camphor, pepper and pine. A taste of it reminded me of the smell of camphor burning in temples in India. It is used a lot in Thai cooking, and freezes beautifully. Certainly worth a try, just for the fun of it. Lime leaves and lemongrass have an aromatic sour fragrance - unlike limes which just taste sour in your food without adding much in the smell department.
Tom Yum Goong Soup
3 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
3-4 stalks fresh lemongrass, sliced on a bias in 2-inch pieces
10 kaffir lime leaves
1-inch piece fresh galangal or ginger or both, sliced
4-6 Thai red or green chilies, sliced
2 tablespoons fish sauce, such as nam pla
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
1 (8-ounce) can straw mushrooms, rinsed or 5-6 Button mushrooms sliced
1 pound large shrimp, peeled with tails on
2 limes, juiced
2 green onions, sliced
1 handful fresh cilantro, chopped
Bring the stock and water to the boil over medium heat in a saucepan. Add the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and chiles. Lower the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes to let the spices infuse the broth. For convenience, I remove the lemongrass and lime leaves from the liquid before adding the shrimp. Authentic versions of the soup leave them in, you are expected to avoid eating them in your soup bowl.
Uncover and add the fish sauce and sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes. Toss in the shrimp and cook on very low heat (so the shrimp stay tender and juicy) for about 8 minutes until they turn pink. Remove from the heat and add the lime juice, green onions, mushrooms and cilantro. Taste for salt and spices; you should have an equal balance of spicy, salty, and sour. Keep tasting and adjusting with salt, fresh lime juice and if its not hot enough, one or two finely minced green chillies. Serve hot.

This CLE webinar will provide guidance to healthcare counsel on measures hospitals and physicians should take to ensure compliance and minimize liability when using patient portals and other electronic means to communicate protected health information (PHI). The panel will outline the legal risks in patient portal use and offer best practices for implementing effective policies to ensure HIPAA and regulatory compliance.DescriptionMany healthcare providers have established patient information portals to provide patients with online access to their patient records and meet quality improvement goals. Patient access to health information is one of the core objectives of Stage 2 meaningful use, which all Medicare providers are required to demonstrate.While portals give patients access to information, they require providers to take measures to ensure the privacy and security of patient PHI. In addition to portals, providers' use of email and texting to communicate PHI raises HIPAA and other regulatory red flags.Further, providers using third parties to manage portals must have business associate agreements that ensure compliance by the third-party associates.Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare counsel examines the legal and regulatory requirements and risks of using patient portals, online diagnostic services, email, texting and other electronic communication for healthcare providers. The panel will offer strategies to ensure HIPAA compliance and minimize patient claims and government enforcement actions.Outline

Creative Suite Versus Component Programs
In another dimension perhaps there are ways to magically manifest new creations through simple mind control. Unfortunately, in the Paleolithic world we live in we're still stuck using hammers, chisels, and even software for our design work. The good news is that hammers are getting harder, chisels sharper, and Adobe is lifting us out of the Stone Age with not one but a collection of programs, bringing the day closer when we can create merely by thinking about it. Until that day, at least we can make some pretty snazzy stuff on the computer.

This past June, Professors Adler Schiff and Stempler attended the Academic Librarians 2012 Conference entitled The Future is Now! Creatively Reaching and Teaching in Academic Libraries. The conference, which was sponsored by the Academic and Special Libraries section of the New York Library Association (NYLA), was held on the campus of Syracuse University.
Professor Adler Schiff's report:
With my long standing interest in 21st Century Literacies and the integration of Visual Literacy within the framework of Information Literacy in particular, I attended the conference sessions conducted by Kaila Bussert, and Camille Andrews, both of Cornell University. Ms. Bussert, co-author of the recent ACRL Visual Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education, in her talk emphasized the need for present day college students, living as they do in a dramatically changing media landscape, to think critically about visual media and to appreciate all the implications of images themselves assuming their proper place among the literacy elements. The new ACRL standards promulgated by Ms. Bussert define a visually literate individual as someone who has the ability "to effectively find, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and visual media." By those standards, visual literacy competence comprises not only accessing and evaluating visual content, but creating it as well. As with Information Literacy, a library program promoting Visual Literacy must make sure that the framework of ethical, legal, social, and economic issues surrounding the creation and use of images and visual media is recognized by users and practitioners. Given all the ramifications, applications, and implications of the various literacies in our 21st century digitized world, I came away with the feeling that librarians could do more on their respective campuses to integrate visual literacy into existing library instruction programs. For example, they could aim for a closer collaboration with faculty who use visual media in their classes, and with, for that matter, members of the academic community such as an educational technologist or media personnel who specifically support the creation of media content.
Professor Stempler's Report:
As Coordinator of Library Instruction, I was interested in conference sessions related to information literacy, including ideas to increase measurable outcomes of library instruction, and ways to promote collaboration between teaching and library faculty in order to meet such goals.
Among many interesting presentations, she found "Finding Information: A Relationship Thing," by Lead Anthropologist at the University of Rochester, Nancy Foster, to be the most thought-provoking. Using anthropological methodology, Foster conducted an ethnographic study in the University's River City Campus Library to examine the relationships between students and scholars. Her research culminated in co-authoring the work, Studying Students: the Undergraduate Research Project at the University of Rochester, which details the innovative application of ethnographic tools in order to understand how undergraduate students seek and use information, and offered suggestions for how academic librarians may use these techniques.
In addition to discussing the foundation her approach, rooted in the field of participatory design which began in the 1960s and 1970s in Scandinavia, Foster reviewed the significant results of her study. Foster noted that academically mature students collaborate to find research resources. She emphasized that general maturity mirrors academic maturity. Skills such as time management and the ability to analyze rather than summarize, advance with age. For example, Foster believes that is acceptable if students simply use the first two articles they find, as they will delve deeper into scholarly sources as they mature and become more interested in research topics.
Some noteworthy statistics from her study on student searching behavior include:
- 28% of students learned of resources from word of mouth and personal contact
- 43% of students learned of resources from footnotes
- Less than 50% of students learned of resources from Amazon recommendations
Foster also added that students view faculty as anyone invested in their learning, including cafeteria workers, and that students do not seek help from librarians because they have no relationship with them. This finding led me to believe that approaches such as embedded librarianship may help repair such sentiments.
The most immediate take-away from the session was Foster's suggestion to librarians to use language familiar to students. She offered the example that librarians at the University of Illinois found success upon changing their "Term Paper Research Clinic" to "Librarian Office Hours," noting the term 'clinic' was unfamiliar to students. At the end of each semester, the CSI Library has been holding a "Citation Clinic" to provide students with one-on-one help with citations in their final papers. In an effort to increase participation, we took Foster's advice, and changed the name to "Help with Citations." Stay tuned to the Library's homepage for more information!"

Ian Harding Is 'Da Man' for August/September 2011
Ian Harding rocks an AllSaints leather jacket and a Plectrum by Ben Sherman shirt for a feature in Da Man's August/September 2011 issue.
Here's what the 24-year-old Pretty Little Liars had to share with the mag:
On working with co-star Lucy Hale: "She and I are very open with each other and have a comfort level that's unlike any working relationship I've ever experienced. Our real-life interactions have all the trappings of a great friendship. We just happen to make out with one another for a living."
On being raised in a military family: "My parents thankfully left 'yes sir' and 'yes ma'am' at the door. That being said, I did have a disciplined work ethic instilled in me from an early age … Regarding the progression of my acting career, I suppose my philosophy is rather simple: keep doing projects that excite you, even if they won't make you a lot of money or gain you any fame. If they're fun and stimulating, then that's reason enough."

How they love him, how they love him. Their dear ol` Al Jolson.
They loved him so much that people were turned away from the first Al Jolson Film Festival on Sunday because there weren`t enough seats.
More than 100 people showed up at the Holiday Inn-Lakeside west of Boca Raton in Al Jolson hats, or carrying memberships to his international society, or telling some story about the history-making Singin` Kid who died 36 years ago.
Craig Wexler, 8, was one of them.
``Just listening to Al Jolson makes me feel ready to sing, sing with him,`` said the boy in the Al Jolson T-shirt. ``I`ve practiced baseball with it playing. I tell my friends that I like Al Jolson, and they go, `Who?` ``
The festival answered the question.
A hundred people sat for nearly five hours in straight-backed seats to watch black-and-white Jolson films on one television.
They also sang Jolson songs, and ate a birthday cake celebrating what would be the singer`s 100th birthday May 26.
``Al Jolson was the world`s greatest entertainer. He called himself that and, the thing is, nobody argued with that,`` said Bruce Wexler, 42, Craig`s dad and trustee of the Original International Al Jolson Society. The society sponsored Sunday`s $2-admission event.
Jolson, who sang Sonny Boy and starred in movies such as Hallelujah, I`m a Bum, was the first entertainer to paint his face black for the Broadway stage, Wexler said.
He was the first to sell a million copies of a record (Sonny Boy).
The first to have two movies of his life story (The Al Jolson Story and Jolson Sings Again).
The first to use a runway on the Broadway stage.
And the first to pay his own way to sing before war troops (Spanish-American War, World War I, World War II and Korean War).

UPDATE: This bike is no longer available, though though the FTR Moto2 bike that Alex de Angelis used to win the Sepang round this year has just found its way back to the FTR shop.
Trolling the internet for things I can't afford, but which my credit card can, I think I may have discovered the perfect gift for the motorcyclist who has everything: a 2011 FTR M211 Moto2 race bike that has been upgraded with 2012-spec components.
Featuring a Spanish CEV Moto2-spec Honda motor with 186 miles on it, this FTR M211 has plenty of tasty other bits that also justify its €39,000 (+VAT) price tag, such as the Öhlins suspension (FG366 forks, TTX36 shock), magnesium OZ wheels, AP brakes, Akrapovic exhaust, carbon fiber bodywork (Yonny Hernández's Blusens livery), and titanium fastners.

In May of 2004, Nurse With Wound's Stephen Stapleton and Colin Potter were abandoned in the Lofoten Islands near the Arctic Circle. What sounds like the plot of a compelling but peculiar reality TV show actually happened, and the two were provided with rudimentary recording gear and left to create music based on whatever sounds they could capture or produce using items they found on the islands. The results were broadcast three times a week on local radio and later released on this two-disk set. A fair amount of these tracks – each one named for the day it was recorded – are fairly stereotypical, at least by Nurse With Wound standards. The second disk consists almost entirely of metallic, low frequency drone pieces, most of which are fairly soothing, with the exception of "July 6," which is riddled with high-pitched squeals and pulses. "June 15," from the first disk, is also par for the course, with heavily distorted sound looped into extended broken rhythms. It's the stuff that Stapleton and Potter left more or less alone that makes this so interesting: the sound of gulls and terns wheeling in the distance, the little rattles and clanks, the lapping of water. It's almost like a more immediate, visceral version of those "Sounds of Nature" CDs, one that gives a real sense of place instead of an abstract idea of thunderstorms or ocean waves. The Lofotens are no desert islands, being home to several fishing villages – very appropriate considering Stapleton's long-time fascination with "cod surrealism" – so there are also snippets of conversation. A woman describes some local delicacy. A man expounds on the Grateful Dead. There are even snippets of applause and distorted brass instruments from "Codstock," the local summer music festival. It's unlikely that most of us will ever find ourselves in Utvaer, but this is the next best thing to being there. For whatever that's worth.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is poised to release initial data from a landmark study into how Americans use tobacco products, but researchers expect many key questions about e-cigarettes to remain unanswered.
The five-year Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study of about 46,000 people, begun in 2011, is expected to provide a wealth of data about smoking behavior that could shape regulations ranging from warning labels and advertising restrictions to new product approvals.
"It is going to provide the most fine-grain, comprehensive, highest quality data on tobacco use that has ever been collected in the United States," said Stanton Glantz, a tobacco control expert at the University of California, San Francisco.
The FDA gained authority under a 2009 law to regulate cigarettes, smokeless tobacco and roll-your-own tobacco. It must issue new rules before it has authority to regulate e-cigarettes, cigars, hookahs and water pipes, among others. It has issued a draft proposal and is currently reviewing public comment before releasing final rules.
Some experts say the PATH study may not be able to capture crucial details about the use of electronic cigarettes, vapor tanks and other devices as tastes and technology are evolving so rapidly.
"While all this data that is being accumulated through the PATH study is great, it is unclear to me how much is going to be useful for setting the policy and regulations of the future." said Scott Ballin, a health policy consultant based in Washington, D.C.
The study is being funded by the FDA and administered by the National Institutes of Health. Responses from about 20,000 participants will be released on Thursday at the annual meeting of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco in Philadelphia.
Each participant is being followed over time, allowing researchers to assess trends, such as which products are gaining in popularity and which are fading. Researchers are also collecting biological samples that will allow scientists to compare subjective responses about, for example, nicotine exposure, with physical data.
Kurt Ribisl, a professor at the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health, said the size of the study means researchers will gain unprecedented detail about specific groups of people.
Such detail could prove valuable to the agency as it weighs whether or not to ban menthol cigarettes, which are particularly popular in African American communities.
It is unclear whether the study will provide enough detail about e-cigarette use to answer public health questions about whether flavors in e-cigarettes attract youngsters to the products. Neither is there likely to be much data about average doses of nicotine consumed, since many vaping devices can be customized to release different levels of nicotine.
"When you get to e-cigarettes it's really complicated," Ribisl, who also sits on the FDA's tobacco products scientific advisory committee. "It's a vexing and complex issue."

Frank, the police, the federation - you're all offside
I was at the soccer game last Saturday at Homebush Bay and I would like to say firstly that the atmosphere was sensational, thanks to the many Iraq supporters in full song throughout the game. They turned up, they sang, they jumped, they were all very enthusiastic towards both teams, but more so their own. Unfortunately, due to the way Australian crowds only make noise when something happens, security and police congregated around the main areas where the Iraq supporters were located. Leave the supporters alone. The Iraq supporters' biggest crime was dancing in the aisles and after being asked to return to their seats they did so and continued with their songs and support. Yet they ended up surrounded by fluoro yellow and police. Not a good thing to do, in my opinion.

When is Football Federation Australia going to take the game of soccer seriously? Once again we witnessed the national team playing like the local under-10s. When are they going to appoint a coach that will do a proper job? Surely Frank Farina has had enough chances. We are the laughing stock of the world. If Frank Farina was the coach of any other team in any other sport, he would be out of a job by now. Come on, guys, do something. I do not want to hear his usual excuses after the next World Cup.
Eddie Fingret, Dover Heights
Following his churlish post-match interview with SBS's Andrew Orsatti and his alleged subsequent aggression, Socceroos coach Frank Farina might like to reflect that he, above most others, has a responsibility to promote the game by co-operating with the host broadcaster as football enters a potentially golden era in Australia. Maybe Farina was irritated that his team exhibited the same tactical naivety against Iraq that saw it destroyed by Uruguay in Montevideo in the 2002 World Cup qualifier. But he ought to know that media with a vested interest in denigrating "soccer" here wax fat on such petty fare. As in the recent, overblown Serb-Croat crowd affray, reports of Farina's liverish reaction to an unconvincing win distract attention from our burgeoning role on the world's biggest sporting stage.
Ron Sinclair, Bathurst
After Saturday night's pathetic performance against Iraq, I can't see Australia doing any better qualifying for the World Cup through the Asian zone. With a repeat of Saturday's performance in October/November against a South American team, hopefully Peru, the Socceroos will have a hard time qualifying for Germany 06.
Robert Pallister, Punchbowl
Black day for Caps
Once again I must congratulate the Australian cricket team on the very professional way it goes about competing against other sides. They have certainly done their homework on New Zealand. The team really is a credit to its country, and all credit must be given to John Buchanan, Ponting and co who have done a great job in working out the weaknesses (and strengths) of this present New Zealand side. Being a Kiwi who has enjoyed the competition and rivalry between the two sides over the years, I have been extremely disappointed by the continuing lack of performance by our team over the past months. I now believe it is time to sack John Bracewell - he has done a great deal to confound the team, media and public in so far as strategy and performance in the Test and (to a lesser extent, against only Australia) one-day arena. As we all know, players such as Fleming, Astle, Marshall, and Vettori are capable of even more than they are doing right now. John Wright would just be the right man to get on with the job.
Geoff Hughes, Auckland
Same bad coverage but we get better coffee
John Berlin, do not feel left out because you are in the sticks (sport letters, Herald, March 25-27) darl, we Sydneysiders also have the same AFL coverage - and we are the big smoke. Eddie McGuire keeps telling us at every opportunity that footy should stay on Channel Nine, so can he also tell us why they decided to air Thursday's game at midnight, not the scheduled 11.30pm? I shall have to stay off the chardonnay and keep up the lattes; no, make that a short black, if this type of commitment to footy coverage is to continue. My only sadness for you, John, is that you probably cannot get a decent coffee in the sticks at that time.
Cheree Curran, Waverley
Is it the Mediocre 14?
What is the point of having a fifth South African team in the Super 14? Australia's resources are going to be stretched to the limit with the impending team from Perth, but I don't know where South Africa will even start. Just look at the performances of the four teams they already have: all in the lower half of the table, players looking totally uninterested, and crowds so paltry even the Sydney club competition would be embarrassed. How much more of a boost SANZAR could have given the tournament had it had the foresight or generosity of spirit to add, say, a combined Pacific Islands team or even the top Argentinian province, or both? I consider myself a rugby fanatic and have no hesitation distinguishing Cats from Bulls or Blues or Hurricanes, but the Super 12 and Tri Nations are starting to bore me. I know it already has had that affect on many players.
Shah Sahari, Woolloomooloo
Not such a super idea
It was a good idea to track the rugby league war 10 years down the line. Many interesting titbits emerged. Yet, even today, it seems both reporters and league bodies are ignoring the guts of the issue. Loyalty, tradition, emotion, money and even tears emerged then and now. But not the real problem - bad management. Business has always been close to big sport, but more so since TV arrived. The sport, as such, was incidental to Murdoch. Arthurson may have been dismayed at Murdoch's arrival but that was no excuse for ignoring that core factor. Instead of dealing in a businesslike way, he fought, lost and gave away control of the sport. Bad mistake.

The most important pre-dive safety activity is to perform a Buddy Check. This is a Pre-Dive Safety check that should be performed by every diver no matter what their level of diving proficiency.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Special equipment: Waffle iron
For the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, zest and paprika. Sprinkle the breasts evenly with the mixture on all sides, rubbing the mixture into the chicken gently. Place in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Poke a few holes in the top so that air can circulate around the chicken. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and allow to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Heat a 10-inch, straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the oil so it comes 1 inch up the side. Heat the oil until it reaches 325 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
In a shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, remaining salt and the black pepper. Dredge each breast in the dry mixture, making sure each piece is covered well with the mixture. Place each piece of chicken in the hot oil, letting it fall away from you, as to not splash yourself with hot oil. Fry the chicken for 10 minutes on the first side. Gently flip each piece of chicken and continue cooking on the other side until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 more minutes. Remove the chicken from the oil and allow it to drain for 5 minutes on a paper-towel-lined plate.
For the waffles: Preheat a standard waffle iron. With a whisk, mix together the waffle mix, 1 1/2 cups water, the vegetable oil and cinnamon until smooth. Lightly spray the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Ladle approximately 3/4 cup of the batter into the iron and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the waffle to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
Serve the chicken and waffles hot, with maple syrup and butter.
