Calls for Tasmania to have its own AFL team
The magnitude of what the AFL lost when it turned its back on Tasmania some two decades ago was not lost on anyone among the 500 who attended Wednesday night's celebration of Tasmanian Football.
In fact anyone lucky enough to move from Lou Richards' state funeral earlier in the day to the unique Tasmanian football function at the other end of town ended their day emotionally drenched not so much with sadness but melancholy – nostalgia for a football time that somehow disappeared from within our grasp when we weren't concentrating.
Chris Fagan, the Queenstown boy who became a hall of famer in his home state and now Brisbane Lions coach, captured the so-called "elephant in the room" when he declared there was a "higher purpose" facing head office. That higher purpose said Fagan was not about marketing or economics.
"I'm talking about heritage and culture and legacy," said Fagan, a panellist at the function alongside fellow Tasmanians Rodney Eade and Brendon Bolton. "The AFL won't be truly complete until there is a Tasmanian team. They [the AFL] would do a magnificent thing if they were to have a Tasmanian team." Peter Hudson presented the narrative, Alastair Lynch the interviews which featured Nick Riewoldt and his equally passionate Tasmanian cousin Jack, a keynote speech by Matthew Richardson, who lovingly described a football pathway journeying along north-west Tasmania that he fears is no longer available to children from his home state.
Geelong's Jackson Thurlow represented the increasingly rare example of a young Tasmanian footballer in the AFL, while the Robert Shaw-coached state team including Scott Clayton, Graham Wright, Simon Atkins and the Gale brothers that defeated Victoria took the stage.
Triple Brownlow medallist Ian Stewart, a rare public performer moved to speech by what he witnessed, declared his ongoing embarrassment whenever he is compared to the "greatest footballer I've seen" Darrel Baldock – whose grandchildren attended the function. Of the three living Tasmanian Australian Football Hall of Fame legends only Royce Hart failed to show.
But none of the above compared with the montage of ovals across the state from Penguin to Sandy Bay, football ovals by rivers and along the coast and nestling into historic building and featuring empty club rooms – ovals where, according to the Tasmanian Football Foundation's James Henderson, football is no longer played.
If ever the message was to resonate it was on Wednesday night. AFL chief Gillon McLachlan, two other league commissioners, Tasmanian Premier Will Hodgman and four other AFL executives along with the presidents of Hawthorn and North Melbourne all attended.
McLachlan restated his support for a single Tasmanian team, a view he has to date failed to act upon. The sight of all those historic grounds lying empty when the Sydney and GWS reserves struggle to find grounds to play on could not have been lost on the game's decision-makers. Still this was not a night of recriminations or finger-pointing; more celebration and hope.
"My view has been a single united Tasmanian team and I've been very public about that," said McLachlan, urging Tasmanians not to give up on their dream of a stand-alone team before entering the Crown function.
"...The biggest challenge to a single model is the two incumbents with long-term deals and we respect those. There is no easy solution other than just working towards a prosperous football state and working with all the stakeholders." The problem being that those AFL club stakeholders being Hawthorn and North Melbourne – particularly Hawthorn who first went to Tasmania 16 years ago –have proved significantly more interested in taking money out of the state than putting football in.
How else do you explain the fact that no Tasmanian player was drafted last year? The beautiful but stark and empty ovals – some no longer in existence? The fact that the Hawks did not even bother to apply for a women's licence the first time around or engage with the state in a united push?
McLachlan's task in part involves negotiating the Hawks out of Tasmania – which will come at a price – unless that club is prepared to play football across the state. Or convince the Kangaroos with their new multicultural Tasmanian academy to do the same.
Again, where North is concerned, it's all largely about the money.
Should the new deal at Etihad Stadium prove as generous as the Docklands home clubs had hoped, there is no chance the Kangaroos will play more than three home games in Tasmania. Should they prove successful in enlisting the help of that state in gaining a women's licence, the state government should insist upon naming the club the Tasmanian Kangaroos.
More preferable altogether would be a stand-alone Tasmanian women's team. And, as impossible as it seems now, an AFL men's team. The irony was that two of the three Tasmanian-bred coaches who appeared on stage in Eade and Fagan coach the AFL's two biggest problem children.
And as Andrew Demetriou said recently, if the Gold Coast will only ever be a modest football club why not consider Tasmania and the potential membership of tens of thousands of expats as a fall-back position should the AFL's clout and that of the Suns' new CEO Mark Evans fail to ignite the competition's 17th club?
Still, as one elder statesman of the Tasmanian cause pointed out last night, the baton has been handed over. Perhaps the passion shared by a group including the Riewoldts, Richo and the significant clout of the Tasmanian Football Foundation, combined with McLachlan's stated philosophy, will finally shift the game's thinking.
And the view that the game cannot grow without a game each week in southern Queensland might not prove the deal breaker it was a decade ago. That perhaps ploughing millions of dollars into a small and financially struggling state bursting with football heritage and passion and creating its own AFL side could actually succeed.
Certainly the prospect of a Tasmanian team in the AFL does not seem as unthinkable as a national women's league televised in prime time and actually winning its time slot did even five years ago.

Express Packaging Tips
To ensure your consignments arrive ontime and in good condition, it is vital you take time to pack & label them correctly.
- Only use rigid cartons in good condition with all edges intact.
- Don't exceed the weight specifications for your box.
- Pack contents in the centre of the carton, cushioned on all sides using polystyrene chippings or bubble wrap. Ensure items that will not fit into cartons or have sharp edges andprotrusions are thoroughly wrapped, with taped corrugated panels or pads.
- If you send liquids check that the cases hermetically sealed. For the shipping of fragile goods we suggest the use of wooden cases and separators inside. Include inside the carton, a document (e.g. business card or letterhead) that carries your address and both your and your recipient's telephone number.
- Tape all seams and flaps well, with pressure-sensitive plastic tape. Tape should be at least 5.1 cm wide, but preferably 7.6 cm wide.
- If finishes could be damaged or soiled in transit, place in protective container.
- Don't ship light weight gift boxes unless packed in stronger cartons.
- Don't ship packages smaller than 18x10x5cm. Instead pack small items into larger cartons.
- Never use cellophane tape, masking tape, string or rope, avoid duct tape and kraft-paper tape for sealing.
Ensure that the address label has both the recipient's and your own address clearly marked.
- Clearly print address and include phone numbers, ZIP or postcode.
- Place all package labels on the same surface of carton's largest size.
- Take care to ensure all labels are securely adhered. When shipping odd shaped items use a securely attached tie-on Air Waybill* tag or pouch.
- Hand write the Air Waybill* number with clear characters.
- Don't cover sender or recipient information.
- Don't place any tape or shrink wrap over labels.
* Please remember that each Air Waybill must be signed twice by the Sender (FedEx Ship Manager users: signature is not required).
- Fragile goods with separators
- Liquids cases hermetically
- Rigid cartons in good condition edges intact
- Contents cushioned on all sides
- All items thoroughly wrapped using polystyrene chippings or bubble wrap
- Tape all seams and flaps well
- Use suitable tape
- Remove old labels
- Sender and recipient address on label

This area of southern Utah is called Rincon (Spanish for "corner"). Here Comb Wash and Comb Ridge meet the San Juan River. This area is loaded with historical significance. Anciently, Anasazi Indians inhabited the area and left buildings, trails and petroglyphs. An un-excavated Kiva can be faintly seen (circular) on the valley floor near where a fence intersects a road.
In the late 1800's Mormon pioneers traveled through this place on their way to what is now Bluff, Utah. They managed to get their wagon train up on the mesa above by navigating the steep rock ravine partially in view of this image.
Down on the landing on the close side of the river is the remains of an old trading post known as Barton's Trading Post. Only a partial rock building and the foundation of a waterwheel remain today (faintly visible in the image).
Today this place is visited by history buffs, nature seekers and river floaters.
Utah is a state located in the westcentral region of the United States of America. Utah is the 13th largest state by area, ranks 34th by population and 10th by population density of the 50 United States. Utah was the 45th state to be admitted into the Union, on January 4, 1896. Utah is landlocked, being bordered by the states of Idaho to the north, Wyoming to the northeast, Nevada on the west, Colorado on the east and Arizona to the south. Utah is very mountainous and is a popular outing destination of the outdoorsman. The state population is about 2.82M with 95% being Caucasian, 2.4% Asian, 1.7% Native American and 1.3% Black. The state capital and largest city is Salt Lake City.Source: wikipedia

I've always liked the space at 717 South, sprawling but with tables set tight enough that it feels intimate, and a convivial bar with a cocktail-shaker soundtrack. I've always liked its art deco canvases, vivid but with a slightly psychedelic tweakiness. And I've always enjoyed talking to owner Michael Stewart, who this summer opens Ava in South Tampa with Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon.
But the food was what prevented it from being a regular in my lineup. For a long time there were two fully realized culinary strategies adopted simultaneously - each separate but equal. One side of the menu dealt in kicky pan-Asian dishes as the other offered up sturdy Italian classics (lasagna, veal scallopini). There was plenty of solid food, but the approach seemed rather schizophrenic to me.
Over the past few months Stewart and his crew have rethought. Perhaps because Ava will be a regional Italian restaurant, the two-cuisine approach has been jettisoned in favor of a contemporary, mid-priced New American menu. It still features Asian fillips (ah, the sesame/Sriracha-glazed edamame ) and a fair number of pastas and such, but it no longer seems like an unlikely mashup. Gluten-free dishes are indicated with a discreet "GF" and there are a number of appropriate dishes for the vegetarian or pescatarian.
Out one night with a bunch of girlfriends, we adopted a group-snack approach (well, we each ordered our own cocktail first, mine the way-too-good-to-share cucumber basil gimlet with Hendrick's gin; $12). Beyond those sneaky-heat edamame ($5.90), one of our favorite starters brought a little bowl of pan-fried Brussels sprout halves ($8.90) made extra savory with a sprinkle of smoked salt and grated parmesan and then given a big squeeze of lime.
Along with that, our table swiftly became crowded by a lovely composed roasted beet and arugula salad ($9.90), nothing you haven't seen before but with richly toasted walnuts and a subtle white balsamic vinaigrette;goat cheese flatbread ($12.90) busy with curls of fried prosciutto, macerated mission figs and little fluffs of fresh chevre; and (one of my favorite dishes) a Thai beef salad ($13.90) plenty generous to be a meal in its own right: slices of red curry-tinged beef, tomato, cuke, field greens, wonton strips and a gingery lemongrass dressing.
Stewart is clearly a wine enthusiast, offering more than 200 bottlings on the main list, 35 by the glass, then an extra reserve list and even a super-secret list for when he feels like pulling out the big guns (Bodegas El Nido, Doubleback cab, Cakebread's Dancing Bear Ranch and such). Still, the bartenders do a lot of exciting work with muddled fruits and fresh fruit purees, so what to sip with your entree can get a little tricky - the house Moscow mule has a lovely gingery zing, $12, a great foil for the Szechuan duck breast $27.90, which comes with my favorite side, a scoop of mashed sweet potatoes doctored by just enough jalapeno to give a hint of heat.
Speaking of sides, the truffle mac and cheese is absurdly good, whether it's paired up with a lightly smoked pork chop ($21.90) or with a rosy New York strip ($28) accessorized by a puddle of shallot-red wine sauce. On a couple of visits my only kvetch was that sides tend to serve triple and quadruple duty on entrees, and the grits don't necessarily marry seamlessly with things (a seafood cioppino, $27.90, ended up being unpleasantly murky once the grits started mixing into the broth).
Clearly the new menu has been embraced by longtime South Tampa fans: This place gets hopping, so reservations are a good idea. And servers have the breezy efficiency necessary in a place that can get pretty hairy on a Friday night. It will be interesting to see how Michael Stewart splits his time when Ava gets up and running, but for now 717 South is firing on all cylinders.

ASCO 2012 What is the Optimal Sequencing of Advanced Prostate Cancer Drugs?
At the 2012 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago, Oliver Sartor, Professor of Cancer Research and Medical Director of the Tulane Cancer Center in New Orleans told attendees in the educational session on castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) that he was tired of being asked the question of what is the optimal sequence for new advanced prostate cancer drugs?
There is "No data," Sartor told the ASCO 2012 audience. As a result he recommended the use of less toxic therapies first and that patients be involved in the decision making. Not quite the guidance the audience perhaps hoped for.
Sartor is, however, correct that we don't yet have the data – the clinical trials have yet to be done that will answer the question of what is the optimal sequencing of prostate cancer drugs?
The approval of abiraterone acetate (Zytiga®) for the treatment of men with advanced prostate cancer, post chemotherapy, and the expected approval of enzalutamide (formerly MDV3100) and radium-223 (Alpharadin) have focused attention on sequencing and combination options.
A poster at ASCO 2012 showed that cross resistance may occur between abiraterone and enzalutamide, suggesting that if resistance to one develops it may lower the efficacy to the other if given subsequently. More data and research is needed to validate this finding and understand how resistance develops.
Reciprocal feedback between the PI3-Kinase and androgen receptor (AR) signaling pathways means that blocking the androgen receptor may stimulate the PI3K pathway and vice versa, leading to the tumor trying to ensure its survival. This is particularly important in prostate cancers that have the PTEN tumor suppressor gene, the result is that the targeting of both PI3K and the AR to avoid crosstalk may be required.
The scientific rationale for combining enzalutamide with a PI3-kinase inhibitor was discussed on Pharma Strategy Blog in Sally Church's video from the 2011 American Urological Association annual meeting. Clinical trials are being planned to investigate the use of PI3-kinase inhibitors in prostate cancer.
I have written more from ASCO 2012 about the emerging challenges in prostate cancer drug development in a guest post published on Xconomy. Many thanks to Luke Timmerman, National Biotech Editor, for the opportunity to contribute.
Hopefully, there will be more insights available at ESMO 2012 later this year and at ASCO next year on prostate cancer drug resistance, optimal sequencing and the benefits that combinations therapies may offer.

On the heels of the leak of various country positions on ACTA transparency, today an even bigger leak has hit the Internet. A new European Union document prepared several weeks ago canvasses the Internet and Civil Enforcement chapters, disclosing in complete detail the proposals from the U.S., the counter-proposals from the EU, Japan, and other ACTA participants. The 44-page document also highlights specific concerns of individual countries on a wide range of issues including ISP liability, anti-circumvention rules, and the scope of the treaty. This is probably the most significant leak to-date since it goes even beyond the transparency debate by including specific country positions and proposals.
The document highlights significant disagreement on a range of issues. For example, on the issue of anti-circumvention legislation and access controls, the U.S. wants it included per the DCMA, but many other countries, including the EU, Japan, and New Zealand do not, noting that the WIPO Internet treaties do not require it.
A brief summary of the key findings are posted below, but much more study is needed.
Internet Enforcement Chapter
- Canada has expressed concern with the title of the chapter ("Special Measures Related to Technological Enforcement Means and the Internet") and the substance of the chapter
- On the ISP safe harbour chapter, the leak identifies three proposals (consistent with an earlier NZ comment). In addition to the U.S. proposal that was leaked earlier, there is a Japanese proposal and one from the EU. Moreover, many countries have raised specific issues about the U.S. language. For example, New Zealand notes that the safe harbour appears to cover Information Location Tool providers (ie. search engines), but that it wonders why there is a concern of liability to begin with.
- Japan's alternative proposal calls for ISP liability based on knowledge of infringement. It states that there may be liability if it is technically possible to prevent the infringement and the provider "knows or there is reasonable ground to know" that infringement is occurring. There are additional provisions on the inclusion of a notice system and industry cooperation.
- With respect to the requirement of an ISP policy that could include three strikes as a pre-requisite for qualifying for the safe harbour, New Zealand is opposed to the condition altogether. Meanwhile, Japan notes that its law does not contain a policy requirement and it would have to consider whether it can agree to that requirement.
- On the implementation of notice-and-takedown, Canada has noted that the relationship between third party liability and ISP limitation of liability is unclear.
- On the anti-circumvention rules, which involves a U.S. attempt to implement a global DMCA, the EU would like to exclude access controls from the ambit of the provision. They are not alone – New Zealand opposes their inclusion and Japan also takes the position that access controls are not required by the WIPO Internet treaties and is apparently concerned about the implications for its domestic law. There is no reference to a Canadian position, despite the fact that this goes beyond current Canadian law.
Civil Enforcement Chapter
- the U.S., Japan, and the European Union want the civil enforcement powers to extend to any intellectual property right. Canada, Singapore, and New Zealand seek a more limited treaty that covers only copyright and trademarks.
- the EU is seeking injunctive relief powers against intermediaries whose services are used by a third party to infringe an IP right. The EU is alone in focusing on intermediary injunctions.
- on statutory damages, the EU seeks to limit damages to actual damages, while the U.S. is proposing statutory damages. There is also dispute on the scope of the IP rights (all vs. just copyright and trademark). Canada and NZ also want to limit or exclude damages in certain special cass.

A Tough Day For The PawSox, But A Good Day For Aaron Bates
On Tuesday afternoon in Ft. Myers, Pawtucket faced a Durham Bulls team featuring a "ringer" on the mound – Tampa Bay Rays flamethrower David Price.
The end result wasn't pretty for the PawSox. Price tossed 7 scoreless innings, struck out 8 batters, and only allowed one hit.
I'm here to tell you about the hit.
In his first at-bat, Pawtucket first baseman Aaron Bates pulled a 94-mph fastball directly into the teeth of a 20-mph wind and hit the ball at least 350 feet to left field. The ball landed on the warning track for a double, but on most days – in most ballparks – it would have been long gone.
"That was a home run," Bates told me with a grin after the game. "No one catches that ball. That ball is over the outfield billboards in Pawtucket.
"Facing Price was fun. I was telling somebody the other day that I'd like to face (Washington Nationals phenom) Stephen Strasburg or somebody like that because when you face the upper-tier pitchers you learn what it looks like at that level. You want to see what those guys have. So it's a good measuring stick as far as where I'm at this spring."

The 26-year-old first baseman spent most of the spring in major league camp, and batted .179 (5-for-28) in 17 games for Boston.
"My spring up until this point has been a little inconsistent," Bates said. "I had some great at-bats in big league camp, but didn't have great numbers. When you're a young guy you want to get in there and show them what you can do, but you don't want to press. It was nice being up there. Big league camp was a great experience – I learned a lot. And having RJ (former PawSox manager Ron Johnson) there helped a lot because he's always laughing and in a great mood."
Last season was a breakthrough year for Bates as he climbed from Double-A to Boston. He thrived in Double-A batting .340/.405/.505 in 52 games with Portland, and did well in his limited taste of major league ball, going 4-for-11 (.364) with 2 doubles in 5 games with the Red Sox.
Triple-A was the only level where Aaron struggled as he batted .213/.285/.305 in 76 games with Pawtucket. He admits that being just a 45-minute drive from Fenway Park was mentally challenging.
"When you're in Triple-A with the Red Sox, you're so close to Boston that you can get caught up in a lot of that stuff," Bates said. "In Portland, I just went about my business every day and played baseball. In Pawtucket, guys are in the locker room one day and gone the next and there is a lot of media attention – you almost have to block all of that out and not think about Boston. You have to be like a little kid and just enjoy playing baseball and if the manager calls you into the office and tells you that you're going to Boston, then you go there and try to do the same thing. If you get caught up in that stuff it's going to drive you crazy and you'll put too much pressure on yourself."
Bates rebounded nicely over the winter as he spent three months in the Puerto Rican Winter League and batted .315/.370/.435 for Caguas.
"I was some of the most fun I've had playing baseball," Bates told me. "I love playing there. It's a unique experience. I hit probably the best home run I've ever hit in my life down there – it tied the game in Game 4 of the playoffs and the fans down there were going crazy."
Aaron's team won its opening round playoff series and he experienced something he isn't likely to experience in the United States.
"When we clinched the first round of the playoffs there were random fans in the locker room celebrating with us so that was kind of fun," Bates said. "It was Game 7 and we were playing against Carlos Delgado's team and we wound up winning. Our clubbies went running on the field with champagne and left the clubhouse wide open. I have it on video – I'll have to show you – as the team is celebrating in the clubhouse you can see random fans in street clothes celebrating with us."
I look forward to seeing the video this summer . . . as well as more blasts like the one I saw Aaron hit off of David Price on Tuesday.

Eleven-year veteran Phil Baroni (14-14) fell to just 1-4 in his past five outings after suffering a unanimous-decision loss to four-time UFC fighter Yoshiyuki Yoshida (13-6).
The bout, which took place at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore, served as the co-feature of Saturday's inaugural ONE Fighting Championship event.
Yoshida took the fight to the floor early and often, and a tiring Baroni never found room to land one of his trademark looping hooks, leading all three judges to lend a unanimous-decision to "Zenko."
Baroni's best moments came in the third round, when a guillotine choke appeared to have the potential to end the fight in come-from-behind fashion. However, Baroni could not secure guard underneath his opponent and was unable to earn the tapout.
ONE Fighting Championship was judged on a whole-fight basis, but traditional scoring would have certainly seen Yoshida claim all three rounds of the 15-minute affair. A frustrated Baroni initially refused to acknowledge Yoshida's post-fight embrace, but a healthy boo from the crowd caused the "New York Bad Ass" to reconsider.
In the night's main event Filipino lightweight Edward Folayang (10-1) bested gritty South Korean A Sol Kwan (17-7) via unanimous decision. The two went back-and-forth for 15 minutes in an intense standup affair, and while Kwan did some damage, including an apparent broken nose, it was Folayang's overall work that earned the nod in the featured bout.
In additional notable action, highly-touted prospect Gregor Gracie (6-1) earned a unanimous-decision victory over Seok Mo Kim (2-2). Gracie was dominant from the opening bell, but Kim showed incredible flexibility and grit in escaping seemingly endless submission attempts throughout the matchup.
Also on the card, "The Ultimate Fighter 5" veteran Andy Wang (7-8-1) fought through an early eyepoke from Brazilian prospect Zorobabel Moreira (5-1), only to be devastated in the second round. An elbow sent Wang crashing to the canvas before a series of brutal knees forced the stoppage.
The evening's full results included:
- Eduard Folayang def. A Sol Kwon via unanimous decision
- Yoshiyuki Yoshida def. Phil Baroni via unanimous decision
- Eric Kelly def. Mitch Chilson via technical submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 1, 3:10
- Zorobabel Moreira def. Andy Wang via TKO (strikes) – Round 2, 1:59
- Radeem Rahman def. Susovan Ghosh via TKO (punches) – Round 1, 3:18
- Leandro Issa def. Soo Chul Kim via unanimous decision
- Vuyisile Colossa def. Xing Yu Ma via TKO (punches) – Round 1, 0:49
- Yodsanan Sityodtong def. Daniel Mashamaite via TKO (knee) – Round 2, 0:14
- Eddie Ng def. Chun Bo Yuan via knockout (punches) – Round 1, 0:45

Dinner Tonight: Welsh Rarebit with Brussels Sprouts Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
Welsh rarebit just seemed right. It was devastatingly cold outside, and I needed something to warm my insides and soothe my head. For those of you scratching your heads, Welsh rarebit is English dish of a cheese sauce on toast. But it's so much more than that, as the cheese sauce combines beer with a good aged Cheddar. It also contains a good dose of Worcestershire sauce and mustard, so it has an edge. It's wonderfully complex, and a far cry from most cheddar sauces.
I worried about finding a proper recipe, but this one from The Joy of Cooking was great. But for some reason the idea of just eating toast and cheese sauce didn't sound like enough. No, I needed a side that would pair well with the sauce, which would also warm me up on this cold night.
How did I end up with Brussels sprouts? Well, I had some in the fridge, but next time I'm going to go out of my way to make sure I have them for this dish. They pair beautifully with the sauce. I used the cooking technique from David Chang's Momofuku which cooks the sprouts until they are well browned. They come out tender, and slightly sweet. I make no claims to this being even remotely healthy, but you certainly don't miss the meat on this comforting winter meal.
- Yield:4 people
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:1 hour
- Rated:
- For the Brussels Sprout
- 2 pound brussels sprouts, discolored outer leaves peeled off, ends trimmed, sliced in half
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- salt and pepper
- For the Welsh Rarebit
- 3 cups aged Cheddar, grated
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup beer
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon dry mustard
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 8 slices wheat or rye bread, toasted
For the Brussels sprouts: Adjust oven racks to lower middle and upper middle positions and preheat oven to 400°F. Pour canola oil into large iron skillet set over medium heat. When oil starts to shimmer add sprouts cut side down. Cook until sprouts begin to brown on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Toss sprouts with a wooden spoon and transfer skillet to oven. Cook until tender and bright green, about eight minutes, stirring after four minutes. Turn off oven and set sprouts aside.
For the Welsh rarebit: Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water. Bring to boil over high heat. Place large metal bowl on top for a double boiler. Add butter. When it melts, pour in beer. When beer is warm, whisk in cheese, adding about a quarter cup at a time.
When all the cheese has melted, slowly add beaten egg, whisking constantly. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, paprika, mustard, and red pepper flakes. Continue to whisk, and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, about one minute.
Place two slices of bread on each plate, and spoon over enough cheese sauce to cover. Serve with Brussels' sprouts on the side.

UN Passes Historic Arms Trade Treaty, Hailed by Evangelicals
UN Passes Historic Arms Trade Treaty, Hailed by Evangelicals
NEW YORK -- The UN General Assembly passed a historic Arms Trade Treaty on Tuesday in New York, aimed at regulating the $70bn conventional arms trade business, the illegal trade of which has been blamed for millions of deaths and affected lives in developing regions.
"We owe it to those millions - often the most vulnerable in society - whose lives have been overshadowed by the irresponsible and illicit international trade in arms," said Peter Woolcott Australia's ambassador to the UN.
The U.N. member-states voted overwhelmingly in favor of the agreement, with 154 votes for the regulations, three opposed, and 23 abstentions, BBC reported. Syria, Iran and North Korea were the three nations that tried to block the treaty, while Russia and China, two of the world's biggest exporters, abstained.
The U.S. government and evangelical Christian leaders have strongly backed the treaty, which is aimed at addressing issues such as child soldiers being given weapons and being trained to kill in conflicts around the world, most notably in Africa.
The National Rifle Association has opposed the ATT and the U.S. government's involvement in it, arguing that any move regulating guns on a global basis could potentially damage Americans' 2nd Amendment rights.
"There are people who are concerned about the 2nd Amendment rights, but the treaty says that there is no regulation of domestic weapons or gun ownership or sales and so we believe that those who have those concerns need not worry. Our second amendment rights will in no way be compromised," Galen Carey, the vice president of government relations at the National Association of Evangelicals, told The Christian Post last week during a prayer event for the ATT treaty in New York.
Carey has also written an article for CP explaining why the treaty will not trample on anyone's constitutional rights.
North Korea has called the treaty "unbalanced," while Iran has called it "full of flaws and loopholes," and their objections, along with those of Syria, prevented the U.N. assembly from reaching a consensus last week.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon then sent the ATT to a vote at the General Assembly on Tuesday, where the vast majority of member states approved it.
In a follow-up email to CP, Carey described the passing of the ATT as "great news," and revealed that it will be opened for signatures on June 3 – all that is needed is for 50 countries to sign it, before it can go into effect.

Make decorating a living Christmas tree family tradition
CHRISTMAS preparations are well underway.
Decorating the tree is a big event, particularly when kids are involved.
More and more families are choosing living Christmas trees, which can grow with the family and be a part of the celebration year after year.
For a long-lasting living Christmas tree, it's hard to go past one of our own native species.
The ever-popular Norfolk Pine (Araucaria heterophylla) is a firm favourite, not just in Australia but also in America and Europe, where large numbers are grown for indoor plants.
Not so well-known, but equally suitable, is the beautiful Daintree Pine (Gymnostoma australianum).
A member of the casuarina family, this beautiful small tree is rare and endangered in its native habitat in the forests of far north Queensland.
But don't be alarmed - it's not endangered because it's difficult to grow.
With delicate fine needle-like foliage and a neat conical habit, it will grow 3-6m in about 10 years.
The Daintree pine is perfect for pots, native gardens and formal garden styles.
If the idea of a pine doesn't excite, then there a plenty of other options.
Grafted Eucalypts are very popular, giving a quintessentially Australian look. They usually flower in November/December.
'Summer Red' has magnificent bright red flowers, whereas 'Summer Beauty' is a lovely soft pink.
The blossoms are followed by plump gumnuts.
The grafted Eucalypts are suitable even for small gardens as they rarely exceed 5m in height.
Other popular Christmas trees include shaped or topiaried shrubs such as lilly pillies, dwarf murraya or even rosemary bushes.
A perfectly clipped cone, dotted with tiny red baubles, will look beautifully elegant, especially in a square pot.
On a miniature scale, these make great table decorations too.
Regardless of what tree you choose, there are a few basic guidelines to help you get the best out of it.
Don't overload the tree with heavy decorations or you might damage the branches.
While it's living inside, it won't need a great deal of water.
Keep the potting mix moist and don't let water sit in the saucer all the time.
Terracotta pots and saucers are sometimes porous, so water may seep through and damage floors.
Indoors, you are probably safer with a plastic saucer or a glazed one, maybe sitting up on pot feet to allow air to circulate.
Once Christmas festivities are over, move the tree outside into a shaded position.
Because it has been indoors out of the direct sun for several weeks, it will get sunburnt if you put it straight out into the sun.
Accustom it gradually by moving it into more and more sun over a period of several weeks.
It doesn't need to be in full sun all day - half a day will be sufficient for most species.
If your tree is in a small pot, say anything smaller than 30cm (12inches), then you would be wise to move it into a larger pot after Christmas.
Make sure you use premium potting mix, fertilise it a couple of times during the year, and your Christmas tree will be bigger and better next year.

The Los Angeles Times is reporting that "a man suspected of being one of the two assailants in the brutal beating of Giants fan Bryan Stow at Dodger Stadium was taken into custody early this morning, Los Angeles police sources say.
"At about 7 a.m., the Los Angeles Police Department SWAT team descended on an East Hollywood apartment building with a warrant in hand. According to apartment building manager Maritza Camacho, police, using loudspeakers and with guns drawn, called out to the occupants of Apartment 25. Inside was one of the men police suspect in the March 31 beating that left Stow with brain damage."
More on the story as it develops.
UPDATE: The Mercury News got reaction from Stow's sister.
"It's huge. We are excited to say the least. My mom and I haven't stopped shaking since the call," Bonnie Stow said. "At least they have one in custody. It's one less thing on our minds."

« N.C. Aims to Ramp Up Tech. Training of Teachers, Adminstrators | Main | Latest Ed-Tech Tactics, Barriers to Implementation, Discussed by Expert Panel »
New MOOC Offers Technology Training for K-12 Administrators
A new, free online course is aimed at giving thousands of district administrators around the country help in using technology to meet their schools' needs.
The project, which is being dubbed a "MOOC-Ed," or a massively open online course for educators, is the work of the Alliance for Excellent Education, a Washington-based advocacy organization that has been heavily involved in promoting digital education, and the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation, at North Carolina State University's College of Education.
The course is to be the first of several massive, open, online courses focused on education organized by the Friday Institute. It's a seven-week class that will run from April 8 through May 24 and is specifically designed for school and district leaders, including superintendents, principals, curriculum directors, tech directors, finance officials, lead teachers, and others responsible for planning the use of technology in K-12.
District administrators and others taking part need to commit between two and four hours a week to the class, according to alliance and university officials.
Participants in the administrators' MOOC—the project calls it an "online open course"—will receive information on broad themes, such as how technology is changing the way students learn. They will also focus on how school leaders can set meaningful goals for digital learning, based on student academic outcomes and other measures. The alliance and the university say the course will integrate "crowdsourcing" or collaborative learning experiences that allow school administrators and other participants to share ideas and resources, and give each other feedback.
The course is a part of an effort called Project 24, run by the alliance, which is aimed at helping districts plan and use technology effectively.
MOOCs have established a strong presence in colleges and universities, and supporters see them as opening new avenues for increasing students' and the public's access to curriculum and other resources that were once restricted to much smaller audiences.
The future of MOOCs in K-12 environments is uncertain, as we explained in a recent Education Week story. Even so, the new effort offers one example of the interest in using MOOCs not just to help students, but to assist school personnel by improving their familiarity with technology and describing its implications for classroom instruction and school management.

La Serna High athletics director Steven Hemenway on Monday told this newspaper the school has hired Marino Angulo as its boys head basketball coach. Angulo, who for the past 12 years was head coach at Montebello, succeeds Joshua Beaty. Beaty had taken over for longtime coach Mike Lowe, but after one year left to coach Crean Lutheran in Irvine.
Although Montebello was just 9-19 and 14-15 the past two years, respectively, Angulo led the Oilers to records of 19-10, 18-11, 28-2 and 27-4 the previous four. Hemenway is stoked to be getting a coach of his caliber.
"He has a fantastic track record, not only with basketball, but as a teacher," said Hemenway, who said Angulo will teach social studies at La Serna. "Unbelievably happy. His experience, he's known in the area. Every individual in the coaching as well as teaching ranks I talked to had nothing but tremendous things to say about him."
La Serna was 11-15 last season under Beaty.

The Handycam DCR-SX series is Sony's flash-memory-based standard-definition ultracompact camcorder. It's made up of three models that differ only by storage amounts: the SX45 has no internal memory; the SX65 has 4GB built in; and the SX85 has 16GB of internal storage. This review covers the SX65, however the SX85 is the best value. All of them have a 3-inch touch-screen LCD, a 60x optical zoom lens, and few cool features like a built-in USB connector for quick uploads and easy charging by computer. However, none of the features do much to improve video quality.
No, unfortunately, there's apparently no reason to make an excellent standard-def camcorder these days; the SX65's movies are mediocre at best--especially if you're watching them full-screen on a large TV or are used to the sharpness and clear details of high-definition content.
For Web use at small sizes the results are OK, though, and if you're not terribly concerned with video quality in the first place and want a reasonably priced camcorder that's easy to use, has a megazoom lens, and can fit in a coat pocket, this Sony is worth checking out.

Available in blue, black, silver, and red versions, the SX65 is an attractive little camcorder. Its physical controls are textbook camcorder design with a start/stop button comfortably under the thumb at the back and a zoom rocker up top in front of a shutter release for snapshots in Photo mode. The whole package is roughly the size of a soda can. The hand strap is comfortable if a little low. Interestingly, it also acts as a cap for a full-size USB connector that's attached by a cable to the camcorder's body. This allows you to connect it directly to a computer to offload photos and video and charge the battery. Just above the strap is a small door hiding a power/charging input and AV output (a composite cable is included).
The battery juts out from the back, and above it is a button for changing between photo and video modes. Below the battery on the bottom of the camcorder is a card slot that supports both Memory Stick Pro Duo and SD/SDHC/SDXC cards.
Flip open the touch-screen display (there is no viewfinder) and you'll find four buttons in the body cavity, for power; entering Sony's Intelligent Auto mode; turning on and off an LED lamp under the lens; and changing over to Playback mode. The last of the I/O ports is in this cavity, too: an uncovered Mini-USB port. An optional cable can be used with this port to connect directly to an external USB storage device for quick saves without a computer. You can also copy content from the internal storage to Memory Stick or SD cards.
The touch screen is nice and sharp compared with other models in its class, but it was very difficult to see in direct sunlight. Luckily it rotates, so even if you can't see it you can change the angle. On the left edge of the screen there are virtual buttons for controlling the zoom lens and starting and stopping recordings, very helpful if you're shooting at a low angle or on a tripod. The menu system is good for those who don't make a lot of changes. In other words, it's responsive, but because all of the options are in one long row, it can feel like the list goes on forever. At least Sony lets you configure an opening menu screen with six items you frequently adjust.

Seven games into the season, and the Los Angeles Galaxy are having their way with the rest of the league. Their latest victim was Seattle, as the Galaxy routed the Sounders, 4-0, at Qwest Field.
Watch: FULL MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
Though the Galaxy won because of an overwhelming attack and a suffocating defense, the team also used one other important ingredient to win convincingly—something that has been present since Day One: confidence.
"We are feeling very confident," defender Omar Gonzalez told MLSsoccer.com by phone. "We go into every game thinking [our opponents] should be scared of us because of the way we're playing right now."
Four different players scored goals as the Galaxy won by their largest margin of the season. All four—Jovan Kirovski, Gonzalez, Todd Dunivant and Landon Donovan—scored their first goals of the season.
Seattle, meanwhile, had no answer for the Galaxy's torrid attack. Whether it was a long-distance shot (Kirovski's strike), a set piece (Gonzalez and Dunivant) or a deft pass (Donovan), the Galaxy shredded Seattle's hapless back line.
For Gonzalez, scoring his first goal of the season and second of his career was something he'd been hoping for.
"Landon played a great ball... and I just made it to the near post and just put it away," Gonzalez said. "I was very excited. I've been wanting to score for a while—and it came—so hopefully it leads to more goals."
Defensively, though, Gonzalez had just as much of an impact. He and Gregg Berhalter once again put the clamps down on an opponent as the Galaxy picked up their fifth shutout of the season —and third clean sheet away from home.
"We're just going out there and playing our game," Gonzalez said. "We just played it right. Gregg was very solid back there with me and the midfield was very active and just shut their team down."
Confidence seemed to grow in a span of eight days. The Galaxy scored three goals for the first time this season in a 3-1 win over Philadelphia a week ago. Facing two challenging road games in a span of four days, the Galaxy merely focused on each match as it presented itself. On Wednesday the Galaxy beat Colorado, 1-0, and then had to turn around and head to Seattle, who did not play a midweek match. Even so, the Galaxy looked far more charged and energetic than their hosts.
While the Galaxy's season could change after their next match—both Donovan and Edson Buddle could get called up to the U.S. national team's World Cup training camp—Gonzalez said their approach will remain the same.
"We just see it game by game," Gonzalez said. "We know we're going to be losing Landon and Edson to camp and maybe the World Cup for Edson, but we're definitely taking it game by game and just hoping we keep winning. We'll just worry about that stuff later."

NEA applauds the Administration's efforts to address bullying
Students learn best in safe classrooms
WASHINGTON - October 26, 2010 -
Recent high profile and heartbreaking cases of students taking their own lives due to bullying has catapulted the issue to the top of the national education agenda. The National Education Association commends the U.S. Department of Education for addressing the growing issue of bullying in our nation's schools. The following statement can be attributed to Dennis Van Roekel, president of the 3.2 million-member National Education Association:
"Many students in our nation's schools are robbed of the opportunity to learn because they are bullied and victimized daily. Bullying takes a terrible toll on students, and the scars can last a lifetime.
"We applaud the Administration for recognizing the growing problem of bullying and for releasing guidance clarifying that certain forms of student bullying violate federal education anti-discrimination laws. We commend the Education Department for bringing national attention to the problem of bullying and harassment and for igniting the conversation in our public schools.
"Students learn best in safe classrooms. NEA is dedicated to making sure every student has access to great public schools and quality education. Intolerance affects education. Schools should be 'safe zones'—places where students are comfortable being themselves and expressing their ideas.
"NEA believes that all people—regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity, size, physical ability, sexual orientation, or gender identification—should be guaranteed a safe and inclusive environment within their public school.
"Our members are constantly working to help ensure the safety of all students. We launched the NEA Bullying Survey in the spring. The survey, a rigorous research-based instrument, will address the critical issue of bullying and advance the research on staff members' perceptions of, and involvement in, bullying prevention efforts. A final report of the survey findings is expected by the end of the year.
"NEA offers training programs to help teachers and education support professionals deal with student-on-student bullying and sexual harassment. One focuses on concrete steps educators can take to prevent bullying.
"The National Education Association Health Information Network (NEA HIN) is also active in preventing and responding to school violence as it results from bullying, both in person and online. NEA also strongly supports Positive Behavioral Intervention Supports (PBIS), a school-wide prevention program that uses behavior techniques that provide safe, supportive learning environments in our schools.
"We need to continue to foster the active involvement of teachers, administrators, education support professionals, parents and the larger community in a whole school initiative to eliminate bullying and harassment. It is our shared responsibility to ensure that every child can attend a safe public school. Working together, we can bully-proof our nation's schools."

Hey, Simpson: C&O's Dave's still at it
It would be all too easy– and a big loss for them– for a self-absorbed UVA student or an overly hip yuppie to miss the coolest little nook in Charlottesville.
The C&O is a local force of the sort that won't even make itself known until it comes flying out of nowhere and smacks you upside the head with its charm. Charlottesvillians and Wahoos alike have enjoyed the downtown restaurant's presence for almost three decades now, and owner Dave Simpson is honored to have been handed the torch.
Simpson is happy to relate how he started as a cook, worked his way up the ladder, and had established himself as the natural choice by the time founder Sandy McAdams decided to pull out in the 1980's.
"He had to find somebody he trusted, and I think that was one of my greatest honors," Simpson says.
It's one that he certainly has not taken lightly over the 20-some years he's been at the helm of the venerable Water Street watering hole. Initially, Simpson shared the burden (and pleasures) of ownership with partner Peter Scott, just as McAdams had done with Philip Stafford before them. "He and I were like a dog and a cat," Simpson says. "He was more mature than I was."
That's his elegant way of saying that they tangled more often than was healthy for either party– or for the restaurant. Eventually, the situation came to a head.
"He wanted to buy me out, and I wanted to buy him out, and we couldn't reach any sort of accord," says Simpson. Eventually a mutual friend arranged a negotiation session, and shortly thereafter Scott was on his way to San Francisco.
What explains the upscale eatery and bar's runaway success? Simpson responds without hesitation. "Clearly, it's the people who have inhabited it. Specifically, it has been their thick skins and long fuses.
"The overwhelming characteristic that I think makes it successful is forgiveness," he continues, speaking of patrons and staff alike. "I've always thought of the C&O as the home of the second chance. We've had plenty of chances to fall apart, and we've decided not to."
His staff seems to agree. He currently has about 10 employees who have chosen to hang around for a decade or more. The customers are similarly clingy, and business is booming as a result.
"Another thing that's great about the C&O is that we have such a huge history and have been so much a part of people's lives," says Simpson. "Guys who stayed here 'till dawn and drank like idiots when they were younger are now calling us up to cater their kids' weddings."
Now, having paid his dues, Simpson is content to sit back and watch his baby thrive on its own. He no longer has to deal with the insane schedules of his youth.
Of the hours he's keeping these days, Simpson says, "They're a little more focused now, and there are probably fewer of them." In addition, he's cut back severely on his kitchen time, instead letting head chef Thomas Bowles run the tight culinary ship.
"I was reluctant to turn over the reins to Thomas, but I was painfully aware of how good everybody was and how I was just getting in the way," he admits. Now he mans the accounting books instead of the spatulas, and does a considerably better job of it than he did when he first bought the business.
"At the end of the night," he recalls, "we would just throw all the money into a bag, and we never really knew where the money came from." Improving wacky financial practices like those has surely helped keep the C&O afloat, but Simpson still hasn't lost sight of his original mission.
"The more freedom you get, and the more money you stack up, the less you want it," he says. And in a sense, it's still McAdams' mission that drives them.
"Sandy and Philip had a vision for the place, and it's been something to strive for, to keep that going," says Simpson. If his repeat customers and their decades of loyal patronage are any indication, he's not doing half bad.
Age: 49

Most overrated virtue? Pride
People would be surprised to know? I'm frightfully shy.

Good news! Nokia just let us know that the awesome muppet-colored Lumia 900 will now only cost $50. Maybe not as good a deal as zero dollars, but still killer. Wait—what about Windows Phone 8? This is tricky.
No, WP8 will absolutely not be coming to the Lumia 900, though the decent consolation prize of Windows Phone 7.8 will. So is this a good deal? We would tell most people to avoid buying Windows Phone anything until the new wave of handsets arrive later this year. That means, no, don't buy a Lumia 900, even for $50. But if you absolutely need a new phone right now (did you drop your old one in the toilet?), and you absolutely want it to be a Windows Phone, then yes, do this. Granted, that's probably a pretty slim venn diagram. [Nokia via The Verge]

Sub C Cells & Tabs for Craftsman Dewalt VersaPak B&D Ryobi Panasonic Firestorm Makita
BATTERY RESURRECTION® PRO Version
New Life for NiCad Rechargeable Batteries that Won't Hold a Charge!
Sub-C Batteries for Black & Decker Cordless Power Tool Batteries 12 14.4v 15.6 18v 24 volt
Copyright © 2008-... by Unique Dynamics, Inc. All rights reserved
The Rambo Battery and Porta-Pak are sold as kits that are easy to assemble. You either scavenge cells from other tool batteries such as Dewalt, Craftsman, Ryobi, Black and Decker, Makita, Milwaukee, Porter Cable, Hitachi, Skil, or Kawasaki, or buy new cells.
Of course new Sub-C cells with tabs are the best choice but can be pricey. The more expensive brands of tools such as Dewalt, Craftsman, Milwaukee, and Makita use higher quality cells with more power output and with a higher charge rate and higher discharge rate. Cheap cordless power tools like drill master from Harbor Freight use the cheapest NiCD Sub-C cells. You can't expect much from these cells and they should not be used in a Rambo Battery™ or Porta-Pak™ Power Station™. Some other companies make some really cheap models of tools also like Skil and Coleman.
Battery Chargers that are the best to use are the universal chargers that will charge NiCD and NiMH batteries and detect voltages of 7.2 to 19.2 volts and some good chargers we like are the Makita and Milwaukee Universal battery chargers.
We just tested the new Craftsman Charger Li-Ion and NiCD charger and it charged a NiMH and NiCD Rambo Battery and Porta-Pak and the cells only got a little warm. We only charged one Porta-Pak made with Tenergy 2400 mAh NiCD cells with a Ryobi 1 hour charger and it cooked the cells, so we say do not use the Ryobi 1 hour Charger.
The little cheap charger that many companies make like Black and Decker, Skil, Hitachi, Firestorm, Coleman, Drill Master, and Bosch can be used to charge most Sub-C cells because the current output is only about 200 to 600 mAh. Since most Sub-C cells are 1200 mAh or greater there is little risk of cooking the cells when charging.
The big risk with the cheap little chargers is overcharging the batteries because they don't have a brain to turn off the charger when it should be turned off. Most Quality companies like Dewalt, Craftsman, Makita, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Porter Cable, Black and Decker and Bosch offer smart chargers that turn off the charging when the battery is full.
Battery Resurrection will get you more life from your NiCD rechargeable rechargable batteries. Our Rambo Battery™ will replace many other brands of batteries when Resurrection will no longer work, such as Dewalt, Craftsman, Makita, Milwaukee, Firestorm, Bosch, and Ryobi cordless power tool batteries.

Scuffling Bourn remains confident during playoff push
CHICAGO -- Michael Bourn is quick to point out just how long he's been slumping at the plate recently, but he also said before Thursday's series opener against the White Sox that experience tells him he'll come out of it.
"I'd say I've [been slumping at the plate] the last month and a half," Bourn said. "I always believe that I can come out of it any given day. That's how I look at it. … I take it one day at a time and I just grind away."
Going into Thursday's opener in Chicago, Bourn was hitting .211 since the All-Star break, compared to a .290 clip in the first half. The leadoff man said that one thing he knows will help down the stretch is the excitement of the playoff push as the Indians continue to chase a Wild Card berth.
"The best thing about it is to be playing meaningful games," said Bourn, whose team in 2012 -- the Braves -- lost the National League Wild Card playoff to the Cardinals. "It's miserable playing games that don't count in August and September. I've been down that road and I hated it. … When you've got something to play for, there's just so much excitement."
As Bourn has gone, so has the Indians' offense. Entering play on Thursday the Indians were averaging 3.88 runs per game since the break, batting .239 with a .688 OPS, each third-lowest in the American League over that period.
Bourn said he knows how much his team depends on him for a spark from the top of the lineup, especially with Cleveland's second-half offensive struggles.
"I know my team depends on me," Bourn said. "If I'm rolling, we're rolling. Even when I was with the Braves, Chipper [Jones] used to [say] all the time, if Mike's rolling, we're rolling. It's been like that with almost any team I've been on.
"I'm glad to be able to be the one that gets the engine going. I love that."
