Rumour: Denzel Washington to play Green Lantern?
Rumour: Denzel Washington to play Green Lantern?
COMMENT | Prepare for the latest 'Batman vs. Superman' rumour: it has been claimed that Denzel Washington is in line to play Green Lantern in the Warner Bros/DC 2015 superhero team-up movie.
The Oscar-winning superstar was already rumoured to be a potential Lex Luthor, before Joaquin Phoenix emerged as the most hotly tipped contender for that role (another rumour which, it should be stressed, remains unconfirmed).
[Joaquin Phoenix to be new Lex Luthor?]
Now, Nuke the Fridge cites an unnamed source who tells them "the "Training Day" actor is being considered for the role of Green Lantern John Stewart instead."
For the benefit of those less familiar with how Green Lantern works - unlike Superman or Batman, the title of Green Lantern is passed on to numerous different people at different times. Whilst Ryan Reynolds played the Hal Jordan Green Lantern in the 2011 movie, Washington would be up for the more recent incarnation of John Stewart. (No, not that guy off 'The Daily Show.')
Common almost portrayed John Stewart in the aborted 2008 'Justice League' movie, whilst Idris Elba has subsequently expressed possible interest in the role.
[Idris Elba wants to play the Green Lantern?]
Does it seem likely that such a highly acclaimed, long established Hollywood superstar as Denzel Washington would be cast in what will likely be a minor role in an already crowded big budget superhero movie? Perhaps not - but then, who among us would have believed this time six months ago that Ben Affleck would be cast as Batman?
On the one hand it isn't too hard to see Washington taking the role. He's always balanced out his work in upmarket, serious drama with an unabashed love for low-brow popcorn movies; take his recent turn alongside Mark Wahlberg in '2 Guns.'
On the other hand, given that the actor just turned 59 (today, in fact - happy birthday, Mr. Washington!), he would have quite a few years on his 'Batman vs. Superman' co-stars Ben Affleck (41), Henry Cavill (30) and Gal Gadot (28). Still, it's fair to say Washington could easily pass for a fortysomething.
[Batman vs. Superman: Gal Gadot on Wonder Woman, training and her breasts]
Ultimately, it all depends on the vision director Zack Snyder and writer David Goyer have for John Stewart. It has been widely declared that Affleck fits their take on Batman as a well-established veteran superhero within this story world; perhaps the same will be true of this Green Lantern.
Either way, if this does prove to be true, and Green Lantern will indeed appear alongside Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman - not to mention The Flash, who remains uncast thus far - we do have to wonder whether this still-untitled movie will prove to be a full-blown 'Justice League,' as opposed to the 'Batman vs. Superman' we've been expecting.

- Good: Amazing showers and mattresses (for a hostel); Very clean and new facilities; Very good location; Individual sockets and LED lamp. - Not so good: Really tight rooms: better pray to get some organized fellows - otherwise you'll not be able to reach your bed; The upper bed of the triple bunk is very close to the ceiling - not good if you arrive drunk or plan to stay seated while reading or chatting; A bit noisy during the night. Overall, a good place to stay!
I could rate as 'very poor' after the very bad experience I had. But I prefer considering my situation as an exception. I've been to more than 30 hostels and I've had very different (good and bad) experiences. So I'll point what's good and bad at this hostel. Good: location (nice neighborhood and close to everything you'll need), value (fare for what they offer).

Michigan legislators and numerous stakeholders around the state continue to spar over whether to fund an expansion of Medicaid in Michigan.
Supporters of expansion--which would happen as part of the federal Affordable Care Act--claim it's fair to extend coverage to more low income residents and that it would be good for the economy. Opponents say they fear the future costs of the move, and some resist anything connected with 'Obamacare.'

The role of the sponsor, True Value Homes (TNH) in supporting the FIBA-Asia women's championship, has come in for appreciation from the basketball fraternity. Apart from making the JN Indoor Stadium fit enough for a five-star event like the FIBA-Asia, TVH, has ensured a facility for the development of growth of basketball in the State.
The spirit behind the venture is K.N. Ramajayam, Working President of the Organising Committee.
Mr. Ramajayam is elated that the efforts taken by TVH have earned the approbation of top officials of FIBA-Asia and players taking part in the women's championship.
Acknowledging the support and help from the State Government, Mr. Ramajayam said TVH had spent Rs.1.3 crore towards developing the infrastructure.
"We do not want anything back, but will be satisfied if the stadium is used well for helping the youth of the state," he observed.
Mr. Ramajayam is confident that Chennai will become the preferred centre for international basketball.
The chances of this metropolis hosting the Commonwealth Championship have improved remarkably after the improvements made to the JN Stadium.
The BFI is also contemplating bidding for the World Junior Championship taking advantage of the state-of-the-art facilities now acquired for staging the FIBA-Asia championship.
Mr. Ramajayam has offered continuous help and support for the cause of promotion of basketball in the State.

Lightning Prospect WJC ReviewSubmitted by chad on January 8, 2013 - 21:03
The Lightning had five prospects at the 2013 Under-20 World Junior Championships in Ufa, Russia, and four came away with medals.
Here's a look how each prospect fared, and what their future might look like.
Nikita Kucherov, RW, Russia
7 Games Played, 5-3-8, +4, 4 PIM, 21 SOG
While Kucherov may only remember his missed shootout attempt against Sweden in the semifinals right now, years from now will look at his Bronze medal and be satisfied with his play throughout the competition. Kucherov was arguably Russia's best forward in the tournament, though Mikhail Grigorenko (Sabres) was the only forward named among the team's three best by the coaches at tournament's end. In the opinion of TSN commentator Ray Ferraro, Kucherov was the team's best forward. He and Grigorenko were by far the most consistent and dangerous forwards for the Russians at the event, and the two were responsible for 14 points together.
U20 World Junior Championships Game Day: Day Ten 1-4-13Submitted by pete on January 4, 2013 - 20:05
Czech Republic 4 vs. Switzerland 3
Tanner Richard, Switzerland, 0-0-0, +1, 6 PIM, 1 SOG
Tournament totals: 6 GP, 0-4-4, +2, 8 PIM
Tomas Hertl's power play goal early in the Third Period stood up as the game winning goal in Czech Republic's 4-3 victory over Switzerland in the tournamen't 5th Place Game. The loss was Switzerland's first and only regulation loss of the U20's. Tanner Richard took two minors for roughing and a minor for tripping in the game. It was also the first contest of the tournament when he was sub-.500 on draws (31.3%). Richard will return to the OHL now to continue his North American Junior season.
U20 World Junior Championships Game Day: Day Six 12-31-12Submitted by pete on December 31, 2012 - 12:24
Switzerland 3 vs. Czech Republic 4 (OT)
Tanner Richard, Switzerland, 0-0-0, -1, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
Tournament totals: 4 GP, 0-4-4, +1, 2 PIM
Tomas Hertl's overtime goal lifted Czech Republic to a 4-3 win over Switzerland in their final game of the Round Robin. Switzerland overcame a 2 goal Third Period deficit to force extra time, but took their third after-regulation loss of the tournament. The Swiss finished in third place in Pool A after the Finns lost to Sweden today. They draw Russia on Wednesday in the opener of the Playoff Round.
Russia 1 vs. Canada 4
Nikita Kucherov, Russia, 1-0-1, +1, 0 PIM, 3 SOG
Tournament totals: 4 GP, 3-1-4, +3, 2 PIM
Nikita Nesterov, Russia, 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 1 SOG
Tournament totals: 4 GP, 0-2-2, +2, 0 PIM
Artem Sergeev, Russia, 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 0 SOG
Tournament totals: 4 GP, 0-1-1, +1, 0 PIM
Andrey Vasilevskiy, Russia, DNP
Tournament totals: 2 GP, 2-0-0, 1 SO, 0.96 GAA, .973 sv%
Nikita Kucherov scored Russia's only goal in their 4-1 loss to Canada. Defenseman Nikita Nesterov was named Russia's best player in the defeat. Andrey Vasilevskiy sat backup to Andrei Makarov, who made 44 saved for the Russians. Russia finished in second in Pool B. They face the Swiss Wednesday in the Playoff Round.

Finland 5 vs. Switzerland 4 (SO)
Tanner Richard, Switzerland, 0-1-1, +1, 0 PIM, 4 SOG
Tournament totals: 3 GP, 0-4-4, +2, 2 PIM
Switzerland blew a two goal third period lead to the Finns to fall 5-4 in the shootout, dropping the Swiss to 4th on the Group A table. Tanner Richard assisted on a goal in the match and was 75% on his draws, but he was stopped by Joonas Korpisalo in his attempt in the shootout session. Switzerland faces a critical match against the Czech Republic tomorrow with a top three spot in their group on the line.
U20 World Junior Championships Game Day: Day Three 12-28-12Submitted by pete on December 28, 2012 - 11:46
Sweden 3 vs. Switzerland 2 (SO)
Tanner Richard, Switzerland, 0-0-0, -1, 2 PIM, 1 SOG
Tournament totals: 2 GP, 0-3-3, +1, 2 PIM
Victor Rask's shootout tally lifted Sweden to a 3-2 shootout victory over Switzerland. Switzerland took Sweden to the brink, and held a lead into the Third Period on Mike Kunzle's third goal of the tournament, but they could not hold off the defending Gold Medalists. Tanner Richard was scoreless in the match and took a minor for high sticking that turned into Sweden's opening goal of the game. He was also 50% on draws. The Swiss now sit in 2nd place on the Group A table with games against Finland and Czech Republic yet to go. They face the Finns next on Sunday.
Russia 2 vs. USA 1
Nikita Kucherov, Russia, 0-0-0, E, 2 PIM, 3 SOG
Tournament totals: 2 GP, 1-0-1, +1, 2 PIM
Nikita Nesterov, Russia, 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM, 0 SOG
Tournament totals: 2 GP, 0-2-2, +2, 0 PIM
Artem Sergeev, Russia, 0-1-1, +1, 0 PIM, 2 SOG
Tournament totals: 2 GP, 0-1-1, E, 0 PIM
Andrey Vasilevskiy, Russia, DNP
Tournament totals: 1 GP, 1-0-0, 0 SO, 1.85 GAA. .941 sv%
Artem Sergeev (pictured) assisted on Viktor Tkachyov's goal early in the Third Period that gave Russia a critical 2-1 win over Team USA. Sergeev's helper means that all Lightning prospects have now found the scoresheet in Ufa, through the first two games of the Round Robin. Fellow Lightning prospect defenseman Nikita Nesterov also had a helper in the match, assisting an Albert Yarullin goal on the power play. Forward Nikita Kucherov took a holding minor in the match, and was in the box for Jacob Trouba's lone goal for the Americans. Andrey Vasilevskiy sat backup to undrafted Saskatoon netminder Andrei Makarov who turned away 41 shots for the win. Russia faces Germany next on Saturday and sits 2nd behind Canada on the Group B table.

By Alan Scherstuhl
This is your brain on crack. There's so much constant reasoning here that even math geniuses will find POLARIUM challenging (albeit fun). Polarium's tones are subtle monochromes, not surreal Pokemon colors. While it's your mission to eliminate blocks as in the classic Tetris, Polarium is less a race against time than a game of head-fracturing logic. Using the DS's innovative touch screen and stylus, you have to find a way to flip the tiles on a black and white grid so that they become the same color. And if you think that's easy, I got a book called Cryptnomicon for you that you can read in one minute flat.
LEGO Star Wars
For: PS2, PC, Xbox
Publisher: Eidos
Developer: Traveller's Tales
Leggo my LEGO! Don't groan. The newest Star Wars video game gets its inspiration from LEGO, the manufacturer of those decidedly low-tech toy blocks, the ones I wanted to grind into the head of the local bully when I was a kid. LEGO STAR WARS is actually more creative than some of LucasArts' recent Star Wars titles. They don't converse much, these toys that have become video game heroes; in fact they don't say anything. It just goes to prove that the Star Wars plots, although sappy and predictable, are so action-packed, you don't need dialog to move the story along. Sure, the game could have been longer. But they've stuffed so much story and action in this puppy, it's a terrific way to bone up on series plot points you may have forgottenand to get ready for the big movie premiere. Go ahead, play: You're not too cool for this.
NFL Street 2: Unleashed
For: PSP
Publisher: EA Sports Big
Developer: EA Canada
Forget the fact that the affably manic but ultimately uninspiring Jeremy Shockey is the cover athlete. Even if you already bought the console version of NFL STREET 2, this is different beyond the fact that the game plays in wide screen wonder. You get modes like Street Slalom, Style Point Challenge and Style Standoff to make it almost worth the price of admission. You can even climb up walls to catch a pass. Too bad you can't unlock last year's cover guy/retiree, Ricky Williams, and have him practice some Ayurveda on these Bluto-like defensive ends. That would've added some sardonic glee to the humor already in the game.
Forget Crichton and King when it comes to games. With his Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six and Splinter Cell action series, Tom Clancy's games rule the video game roost. He's even got four cell phone games on the market. In SPLINTER CELL CHAOS THEORY, you're the solo agent, alone if not a little lonely, on ten mammoth stealth missions to save the world from terrorism. Hey, better you than W. The year: 2008. Not that that matters. You may even hate Clancy's writing, as I do. That matters . . . a little. Thing is, if you're into stealth games, you can't get much better than this. Sure, you can kill to complete your objectives through ten expansive levels. But Chaos Theory also allows you the harder, more professional way to act by using no lethal force and offing no one. Yeah, OK, you can kill a little for fun, too, but just for those times when you need to be the sadist.
MX vs. ATV Unleashed
For: PS2, Xbox
Publisher: THQ
Developer: Rainbow Studios
What a wild potpourri. If you've ever wanted to drive anything in competition, MX vs. ATV UNLEASHED's for you. You can drive motocross bikes, monster trucks, bi-planes, helicopters, even golf carts. There are so many modes to play here, it makes the head spin. The detailed career mode is a winner, but designers had a sense of humor, too. You can find Santa Claus in one of the winter courses, (and run that bearded marketing machine over). The advanced physics of the vehicles (think GM genius, not Stephen Hawking) make you think you're driving the real things. Still, some of the vehicles are hard to maneuver, making this a very good game, but not a great game.

Americans exercise more, but not enough
PENN STATE / U. MARYLAND (US) — Americans exercise almost three times more than they did 40 years ago, but still far less than the recommended four hours a week.The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults aged 18 to 64 exercise moderately for 2.5 hours per week and engage in a vigorous activity, such as running and muscle strengthening, for an hour and fifteen minutes per week. The current average time Americans spend on exercise is two hours a week....

ADLER, Russia - At 1:30 Sunday afternoon, fewer than three hours before Sweden was to meet Canada in the Olympic Games gold medal final, Sweden hockey team general manager Tommy Boustedt received a telephone call.
It was a Swedish Olympic Committee official. Sweden and Washington Capitals forward Nicklas Backstrom was being summoned to special meeting at a hotel near the Olympic Village.
A confusing and emotional hour later, Backstrom was suspended by the IOC and prohibited from playing in the Olympic final for testing positive for prohibited levels of pseudoephedrine, a stimulant, which Backstrom, Swedish team and International Hockey Federation officials said came from allergy medication he has taken for seven years.
The IOC decision, coming five days after Backstrom was drug tested following a Feb. 19 win against Slovenia, enraged Swedish, IHF and NHL Players Association officials. Boustedt called Backstrom a scapegoat in the IOC's fight against doping, claiming that the IOC deliberately held the test results until Sunday afternoon for maximum media attention.
"Normally we get (test) results back in 48 hours," Boustedt said during a press conference after Sweden's 3-0 loss to Canada. "My suspicion is that this is political, a political decision. If we got the decision two days ago, I don't think so many people would be sitting here right now. They waited until it would make a real good impact on you journalists. This (ruling) is one hour before the game, that's perfect.
"(The IOC) need examples to show the sports world that, 'We don't accept doping.' But this is not doping. They need examples to scare cheaters."
The IOC had no comment and did not release a statement on the case Sunday.
The IHF's chief medical officer said another player tested positive for pseudoephedrine at a level similar to Backstrom's four years ago at the Vancouver Games and received a warning from the IOC but was allowed to continue competing after being retested.
"I feel strongly as a medical person that there certainly is no doping in this instance," said Dr. Mark Aubry of the IHF. "He is an innocent victim, and certainly we support (Backstrom) strongly. Doping is certainly not allowed, but this is not a case of doping."
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the IOC decision would not prevent Backstrom playing with the Capitals when the NHL season resumes later this week.
Backstrom's use of the allergy medication, Zyrtec-D, has been cleared by Washington and Sweden team doctors. The drug's use was also approved by team doctors for all the teams participating in the Olympic tournament and IHL officials and medical staff at a meeting earlier this month, according to Swedish and IHF officials.
"Subject to confirmation of the facts as we understand them, and given the fact that the substance is neither prohibited in the NHL nor was used in an improper manner here, we do not anticipate there being any consequences relative to Nicklas' eligibility to participate in games for the Washington Capitals," Daly said in a statement.
Backstrom listed Zyrtec-D as one of the drugs he had taken in the previous seven days on a drug testing form he filled out before providing a urine sample after Wednesday's game. He said he has taken one pill of the drug daily to combat sinusitis and allergy problems.
But instead of a 48-hour turnaround on the results, the IOC said it was not provided Backstrom's test results by the IOC lab until Saturday night, Boustedt and Sweden team physician Dr. Bjorn Waldeback said.
The results showed that Backstrom had a level of around 190 nanograms per milliliter, above the allowable limit of 150 nanograms, Waldeback and Aubrey said.

A SIM card reader maybe click here
But if you have MP3s and pictures these would have to be backed up using either Bluetooth or infra red or cable.
As long as you keep the SIM in the phone until you change models or use in a reader then it should be ok.
Setting up some bluetooth dongles can be a bit of a pain, but once you do get them working they seem fine. You have to make sure that they are 'paired' etc.

Georgia's 30-point lead at the half gave the men's basketball team plenty of room to finish Monday night's game with an 87-56 victory over Chattanooga at Stegeman Coliseum.
Georgia (3-4) started out its matchup with Chattanooga (3-6) shooting 59.4 percent from the field in the first half. Junior forward Nemanja Djurisic led the Bulldogs in scoring the period with 14, while sophomore Kenny Gaines added nine.
Gaines got Georgia on the board just 18 seconds into the game when he knocked down a 3-pointer to put the Bulldogs out in front. Georgia not only got out to a hot start offensively, but defensively as well.
"We played really well in the first half, especially defensively," said Georgia head coach Mark Fox. "I thought we came in with a good approach, a good plan and really executed it really well in the first half."
After the first official timeout, Juwan Parker extended the Bulldogs' lead to 23-9 with a layup assisted by Djurisic. Parker finished the game with 11 points, five rebounds and three assists. Distributing the ball is an area Georgia has focused on recently.
"That was one of our deficiencies; we weren't getting enough assists," Parker said. "Moving the ball, getting everybody involved; it really helps."
Djurisic finished the game with 14 points and five rebounds. Georgia as a team outrebounded Chattanooga 51-38. Whether that was a result of size or effort, Djurisic said it was a sign of much-needed improvement.
"I think we have to improve the rebounding, playing together, playing unselfish like we did tonight," Djurisic said. "(We're) just doing a lot of things we didn't do in the past tournament we had."
It was in the final 10 minutes of the first half that Georgia began to gain its unstoppable momentum. Chattanooga, however, experienced a different situation. The Mocs went from the 10:55 mark until the 5:52 mark without scoring a single basket. This gave the Bulldogs a chance to jump out to a 36-15 lead. By that point, it was all but too late.
"I was concerned, 'Would we play well with the lead?'," Fox said. "I thought in the first half we played the back end of the first half pretty well with the lead."
Georgia carried that momentum into the locker room at halftime with a 47-17 lead thanks to Parker's 3 at the buzzer.
The Bulldogs had no problem carrying their first half offensive success over to the second half, either. Georgia got out to an early start with a layup from Brandon Morris, assisted by Cameron Forte to put the Bulldogs up 49-17 just 20 seconds into the second half.
Forte got his own chance to score a couple of minutes later when Gaines found him streaking to the basket for a layup to put the Bulldogs up 53-17 with 17:44 left to play. Forte finished the game with eight points, while Gaines finished with 10 and four assists.
Chattanooga showed some effort with 14:39 left to play as Gee McGhee hit a layup followed by a 3-pointer from Eric Robertson to cut the Bulldogs' lead to 56-28.
The large lead gave a few of Georgia's younger players a chance to get in the game. Freshman guard J.J. Frazier found his way to the hole for a layup to put the Bulldogs up 69-38 with 9:37 left on the clock. Fellow freshman Kenny Paul Geno also got himself on the board with a made free throw at the 7:23 mark and a 3 with just under seven minutes left in the game to give Georgia a 77-43 lead.
"The second half we were able to get a lot of guys time that they needed," Fox said. "A little disjointed rotation there, but a really good night for us."
John Cannon found his stroke in the second half, too. The sophomore out of Burnsville, N.C., found the basket on back-to-back possessions to give Georgia an 81-45 lead with 5:15 left to play in the game.
Frazier's acrobatic layup may have been the highlight of the game's final four minutes. He put his stamp on his minutes on the floor with a soaring lay-in from the middle of the lane to give Georgia an 83-49 lead. Frazier and the Bulldogs had no problem sealing the victory after that. It was a night on which Georgia could seem to do no wrong offensively.
"We try to emphasize playing more team basketball instead of looking for your shot first," Gaines said. "I feel like we were doing a pretty good job of that. We've been practicing that a lot and it showed up in the game."
Georgia plays again at 4 p.m. Dec. 14 when it hosts Lipscomb.

At 36-24, I was pretty pumped, just as most you were. And yes, I had some daydreams about the 1999 magic. However, those thoughts were tempered by my memory of 2004, when we got off to a nearly identical start, and then crumbled the rest of the way.
In 2004, we were 34-22, basically the same record through as many games as we had this year. Things were looking good. Then, we had a 7 game losing streak, and even though we bounced back for a few weeks following that streak, we never again we able to regain the ground/momentum we lost. Later in July, we lost 11 of 12 to officially end any hopes. But IMO, that initial 7 game losing streak is what spelled the beginning of the end.........
06-07-2004 at Oakland Athletics 2-13 L 34-23
58 06-08-2004 at Oakland Athletics 6-10 L 34-24
59 06-09-2004 at Oakland Athletics 8-17 L 34-25
60 06-11-2004 at Cleveland Indians 5-6 L 34-26
61 06-12-2004 at Cleveland Indians 7-8 L 34-27
62 06-13-2004 at Cleveland Indians 8-10 L 34-28
63 06-14-2004 at Philadelphia Phillies 7-10 L 34-29
I bring this up because I think it's VERY important to first establish that this is NOT 2004 all over again before we even start thinking about 1999 all over again.
The big difference is that I have a lot more faith in the starters than I did in 2004, but our bats are inconsistent and the bullpen is dreadful, two things that could combine for a losing streak.
Our brilliant road trip gives us some wiggle room to lose 3 in a row to a bad Cubs team, however, we must be able to stop that bleeding NOW. The White Sox loom this weekend, so I think it's best if we get out of our little funk ASAP against the Brewers the next three days.

Xanadu on Titan
This image of Titan was acquired on April 30, 2006, by Cassini's radar instrument in synthetic-aperture mode over the continent-sized region called Xanadu.
Xanadu is one of the brightest areas on Titan, measuring about 4,000 kilometers (2,485 miles) east to west and 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) north to south. The radar coverage shown ranges from 220 to 490 kilometers (140 to 300 miles) from top to bottom, and is about 4,850 kilometers (3,013 miles) wide. Smallest details in this image are about 400 meters (1,310 feet) across.
On Xanadu, most of the geologic forces that modify Earth's surface can be found. Channels are seen crossing through plains and meandering through bright, hilly country. Chains of taller mountains appear in Xanadu's interior. Dunes traverse darker areas to the west of Xanadu itself.
Circular features might have been formed by the impact of an asteroid or by cryovolcanism. More channels carve through the eastern (right) margin, ending on a dark plain where the dunes abundant elsewhere seem absent.

The Friends' School, Hobart is an independent, co-educational, Quaker, day and boarding school, located in North Hobart, a suburb of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
Founded in 1887 by Quakers, the school currently caters for approximately 1330 students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12, including 47 boarders from Years 7 to 12.[3] It is the largest Quaker school in the world.[5]
Friends' is affiliated with the Association of Independent Schools of Tasmania (AIST),[6] the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA),[7] the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA),[8] the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA),[3] and is a member of the Sports Association of Tasmanian Independent Schools (SATIS).[9]
The Friends' School opened at 60-62 Warwick Street, Hobart (the building still stands) on 31 January 1887 under the control of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). It was opened by Samuel Clemes. The initial enrolment of 33 expanded so rapidly that the School moved to its present site in Commercial Road on 28 January 1889, a move made possible by the generous loan of A$4,000 from Hobart Baptists. The first headmaster was Samuel Clemes, considered to be a remarkable reformer in education for his belief in co-education. In 1900 he resigned and set up his own family school, Leslie House, (later renamed Clemes College) in Pirie Street and then at Boa Vista, Argyle Street, where Morris Friends' Primary Years (Junior School) and Clemes (Years 11-12) are now located. Clemes College and The Friends' School came together in 1946.
1923 marked the beginning of a new era in the School's history. On 28 September, the control of the school passed from London Quakers to a committee in Hobart and a week later Ernest Unwin arrived, under whose leadership the School made remarkable progress. In this period the distinctive appearance of the School changed - with the addition of the front portico, the Hodgkin Hall, the original science and art block and the boys' boarding wing. No further building programmes were undertaken until 1955 when the second period of expansion began with the opening of the Preparatory School in 1955 followed by the Sports Ground in 1958. Building on the Commercial Road site began in 1962 with the opening of the Unwin Memorial Science and Art block, continued in the 70s with the Library, the Asten Theatre, additional science facilities and in the 80s with the W.N. Oats Sports Centre. The Clemes Memorial Library in the Junior School was erected from the old Clemes Assembly Hall in 1986. The addition of the multipurpose Farrall Centre to the Junior School was completed in late 2011.
Despite being a Quaker school, there are no more than 10 Quaker staff at the school, and few of the students are actually Quakers. However Quaker activities, such as meeting for worship (Gathering), form an integral part of school life for students, and take up one hour per week.
Following the Tasman Bridge disaster of 1975 many students of the school who lived on the eastern shore of the Derwent River became isolated, and were unable to attend. Some students of other schools were re-allocated to the limited eastern shore schools, but places were insufficient, and the educational standard was generally considered lower than Friends.
Whilst older students were trusted to make the ferry crossing from Bellerive to Hobart, for younger students it was not deemed safe to do so unsupervised. Appeals were made to the school from concerned parents, and eventually it was decided to build a temporary campus within the Clarence. A site was located in bushland above Lindisfarne and a small area was set aside for the campus.
The Sherwood campus consisted of two main inter-linked buildings, a playground, a crude gravel oval and a large area of undeveloped bushland. The school only catered for pupils from kindergarten to grade 2, as it was considered older pupils were old enough to catch transport to the main campus.
One of the features of the education system at Sherwood was the regular "nature walks" in which students from every year group would participate in regular excursions into the nearby sclerophyll bushland and learn to understand, appreciate, and get in better touch with nature.
It closed just a few years after opening.

The Friends' School consists of three main parts: Morris Friends' Primary Years, High School and Clemes. Morris has approximately 430 students from Kindergarten to Year 6 and is situated in the Argyle Street Campus. The High School has 550 students from Year 7 to 10 and is in the Commercial Road campus. Clemes has approximately 300 students in Years 11 and 12 and is in the Argyle Street campus.[10]
The School also owns a sports complex at Bell Street where there are facilities for cricket, hockey, softball and soccer, Friends' Health and Fitness off Elizabeth Street, Friends' Early Years on Argyle Street and Far South Wilderness Camp near Dover. The School also has a state-of-the-art rowing facility in Lallaby Road, Lutana.
For the purpose of both class allocation and internal competition, all students at Friends' are allocated into "Houses" within the School. These are referred to as Hodgkin (yellow), Mather (blue), Ransome (red) and Unwin (green), all named for famous Quakers. Each house has a distinct colour association for ease of identification during competition.
All students in the High School are members of tutor groups. Tutor groups consist of approximately four people from each grade in the High School, creating a total of around sixteen people. The school tries to place two girls and two boys per grade per tutor group, but there are exceptions. All members of a tutor group are in the one house, and each house has eight tutor groups. The Mather tutor groups are M1, M2, M3, etc., the Hodgkin tutor groups are H1, H2, H3, etc. Students begin and end the day in their tutor groups, as members of a tutor group have their lockers together in a certain room or corridor. At the beginning of the day in 'Morning Tutor' students meet in their 'tutor room' (the room nearest to their lockers, or in which their lockers are located). The student bulletin is read aloud by the tutor (a teacher or staff member. One tutor is assigned to each tutor group, generally staying with the one tutor group the entire time the spend at the High School however sometimes tutors change) and the role is checked. At the end of the day students meet again in their tutor groups and the tutor checks the role and hands out any notices. On Fridays in period 4 (11:55 - 12:55) students meet in their tutor groups for an hour which they spend in their tutor room with their tutor. This period is basically a study period, however on special occasions, such as birthdays, tutor gatherings are held. Students who have been absent for tests in class may also use 'long tutor' as the period is named, to complete the test. With tutor's permission, some students may also meet up with students of other tutor groups to complete homework. The long tutor period on Friday's is also used for the assembly if there is one being held that week.

Rated 4.9 out of 5�by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by noa2by2 Very nice kayak I own five kayaks in a variety of sizes and configurations. I often take friends out in my boats and often have fewer boats then requests so I decided to buy a tandem. While looking at many tandems I realized that they can often be on trick ponies difficult to paddle for one person. Then I saw the Rambler one person or two or even three under the right circumstances. Seemed like a good deal then I took it out on the water, Man I love this kayak, granted it isn't as fast as some of my other boats but it is stable, tracks well no matter how many are aboard and it will haul gear. My dogs love it I take two small dogs and occasionally a cat plenty of room for everyone. This boat may not be for everyone but if you are looking for a versatile, affordable, quality tandem take a look at the rambler.You won't be disappointed. August 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by sls Love this! My husband and I had two single kayaks and decided on a tandem for river trips. We were looking at much more expensive ones thinking $1000. was what we would have to spend on one. We just happened to be walking through Dick's Sporting goods and saw this one. It is an excellent buy at $450. and the quality rivals our other two Ocean brand kayaks. It is very stable and tracks nicely. July 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ser4jc Glad we choose this kayak. My husband & I r beginning kayakers. We started out with 2 singles. He wanted to try a tandem over some small rapids in a local river. The vessel handled better than we imagined. We were very impressed how stable it was & how well it tracked. The space between riders is wonderful for hauling a medium ice chest. Make sure you buy a long paddle because this kayak sits a little higher off the water than most singles. A short paddle will cause you to have to reach deeper when stroking the water. If you can find a color darker get it because white is harder to keep clean. Other than that, we love this kayak. May 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by MrReelreviews Rigged it for fishing, now I'm never home! This boat is awesome, it beening my first boat I wasn't to sure about the brand, considering your hear more about the other guys all the time, hobie, ocean, wilderness. I took a chance and bought it because of its size, to bring friends, then started fishing in the ocean and the flats, in able to cruise in 4in off water with two including myself, thats awesome. I've stood to cast but you must be limber on your feet February 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tonythewoodsman Buy one, or two before they are gone. I bought one a couple months ago. My wife and I own several different kayaks. The Rambler is the most stable kayak I have ever tried .I can bring just about anything along that I want; A big cooler, big tackle box, anchor., fishing pole. I bring cushions along. Why? So I can put the seat backrest down and take a nap on this kayak! I take toddlers along and they feel very secure on the kayak. One note, I bought a role of Velcro to put on the seat surfaces so the seat doesn't slide around. I just bought a second Rambler to bring my novice friends out with me. June 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by John Nice kayak New to the sport and was looking for something to do with my kids. Decided this kayak fit our needs. Have used it on a couple of brief outings in the waterway and like it. Tracks straight and seems very stable. My son keep lunging to one side to drag his hand in the water and it never felt unstable (he is 8 ). It also seemed to paddle a little easier than I expected with just me doing the work. It is heavy as one would expect but manageable. Would recommend for anyone looking for a tandem on a tight budget. June 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Ryan23 Awesome Kayak I have had a few single kayaks in the past that were very fast so I was nervous about buying this one. I can tell you this thing is extremely stable and easy to use. It isn't fast really but I bought it so I could take my little boy out knowing he wouldn't be helping paddle. I take it out all the time alone also and the only thing bad I can say is that if you try and steer from the middle seat it doesn't work well, it spins sideways and very hard to keep it tracking straight but the back seat works perfect alone. I only take mine in the ocean also and the waves and current aren't usually an issue. Overall its a great kayak!! June 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Familylife Best kayak for beginners This kayak is by far the best in its class. Very stable rides great. Best of all dicks has it at a great price much cheaper than online stores and in stock. June 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Greg NICE KAYAK, WE HAVE 2 AND LOVE THEM WE LOVE TAKING OUR 2 TANDEM RAMBLERS CAMPING WITH US. WE GO ON LAKES AND RIVERS WITH NO ISSUES WHAT SO EVER. IT TRACKS VERY NICE AND IS VERY STABLE. THE ONLY COUPLE OF ISSUES THAT I HAVE WITH THE KAYAK IS THE WEIGHT WHICH IS EXPECTED BECAUSE OF IT BEING A TANDEM AND IT HAS HOLES WHERE YOU SIT TO STABLE THE KAYAK WHICH MEANS YOU ARE NOT GOING TO STAY DRY IF YOU ARE IN THE REAR SEAT. ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A TALLER SEAT AS THE BACK GETS A BIT SORE FROM THE SEAT. May 29, 2014

2003 Toyota Matrix Problems
Oxygen sensor failure may occur, resulting in the illumination of the Check Engine Light.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate due to an evaporative emission (EVAP) system fault. Our technicians tell us these EVAP system faults can be difficult to diagnose but it is not uncommon to find a failed charcoal canister or a loose or worn gas cap.
The bolts attaching the front door window glass to the window regulator may come loose. This can cause the window regulator to become damaged and possibly causing the window glass to break. Some 2003 & 2004 models have been recalled for the issue.
2003 Toyota Matrix Questions
It stays on & goes off like it is supposed to, when you first start it. Then it starts flashing & if you drive very long it stops just stays on.It just started doing this today.
My car had the usual check up fluids, hoses, filter, brakes etc.,8 months ago. however coming home one night, it just went dead, put a new battery in, but does not help, won't go pass the next street before it completely shuts down, as 198,000 miles. What could be the issue here and why. Th...
which sensor ?
2003 Toyota Matrix Recalls
The airbag control module can fail prematurely due to electrical noise beyond the tolerance it was designed for. As a result the front airbags, side airbags, and/or seatbelt pretensioners could deploy inadvertently while the vehicle is being operated, increasing the risk of personal injury and/or a crash. Dealers will replace the airbag control module and front and/or side impact sensors as required to correct this concern.
This limited regional recall is for vehicles currently registered or first sold in southern Florida, along the Gulf Coast, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa. Upon deployment the passenger airbag inflator could rupture, increasing the risk of personal injury. Dealers will replace the passenger side air bag inflator to correct this concern. If a replacement inflator is not available, as an interim measure, the dealer will disable the front passenger air bag and advise the customer not to use the front passenger seat until a replacement inflator is installed.
This limited regional recall is for vehicles currently registered or first sold in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and equipped with Takata-brand air bag inflators. Upon deployment the driver and/or passenger airbag inflator could rupture, increasing the risk of personal injury. Dealers will replace the affected airbag inflator modules to correct this concern.
2003 Toyota Matrix Reviews
This car has been a huge disappointment in MPG.. Advertised as 31 Hwy and 28 City (?) and the best we have done in almost 6 years is 28 on the Hwy (steady 70 mph) and about 22 around town. Wears out front tires way too fast (14K miles!), or maybe it was the Continentals that it came with. Other brands seem to do a better (about 20K miles which still isn't good). We also had a Mercedes E320 V6 ...
Air conditioning went out at 80K. Screwy panel illumination when turning on heater, takes about three minutes for lamps to illuminate panel completely. Changing top center rear brake lamp is almost undo-able, almost forcing one to take to dealer to replace lamp in order not to break plastic bezel. Same can be said the cabin overhead lamp. Car emits rich gassy fumes upon start up. Car is suppo...
Have had to replace 4 hub caps and notice other Matrix without hub caps too. Awesome for loading! This car can carry anything. havent had to do any major maintenance until 100,000 miles and its minimal too like driving belt and hoses and brakes. I completely recommend this car.

So you want to work in the sports industry? Like many students and young professionals pursuing an education in sports management and looking to make their big break into the business of sports, long gone are the days when working in industry is limited to selling tickets or running coverage of the local professional team for your hometown paper.
Projected to grow $145.3 billion between 2010-2015, the sports industry is flourishing with opportunities in all areas including: sports marketing and sponsorship, sports media (traditional and social media), sports facilities and even higher education institutions which are growing at faster than average projected rate of 15%. However, although there are numerous opportunities to work in sports these days, the competition to land one of them is also higher than ever.
Still up for the challenge? If so, here is a closer step-by-step look at how to break into the sports industry today.
Sports Management Education Programs
Over the past 30 years, there has been a significant amount of growth in sports management education programs. From undergraduate and master's-level courses to MBAs with a sports management concentration, they are continuing to gain ground in colleges and universities. Between 1980-2010, the number of undergraduate sports management programs grew from just three in the U.S. to over 300, however, there were only 25-35 available in graduate programs by 2010.
Making it more accessible for students and aspiring sports business professionals to better find the right university and program for them, now online with SportsBusinessDaily.com is a database of all the U.S sports management programs available for both undergraduate and post graduate degrees.
For those looking to further build upon their undergraduate degree and give themselves a competitive edge for future sports business employers, some of the MVPs in sports management graduate programs today include Ohio University, the University of Central Florida and University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Established over forty years ago, Ohio University's Center for Sports Administration is arguably the most hailed program of its kind and boasts 1,200 alumni in leadership positions within intercollegiate athletics, professional sports teams and leagues, sports management and marketing agencies, sports media, and the entertainment industries. This alumni network is considered amongst the strongest of any university program in the country, and provides a wide variety of excellent internship and employment opportunities for graduates of Ohio.
Recognized as a world-wide leader in its field, The Mark H. McCormack Department of Sport Management at UMass Amherst Isenberg School of Management belongs in the top echelon of sports business programs. Created in 1972, it is the second-oldest program of its kind in the world and widely respected for the breadth and quality of its curriculum and research.
A somewhat newer sports management masters program launching just over 10 years ago is The DeVos Sport Business Management Program in the College of Business Administration at the University of Central Florida. The vision of Rich & Helen DeVos, owners of RDV Sports and the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association, it is the first of its kind in the area of sport management graduate studies.
Consistently ranked amongst the top sports business graduate programs, University of Oregon's Warsaw Sports Marketing Center allows students to receive a sports centric MBA from one of the top business schools in the country. With deep ties to Nike and Oregon alumni Phil Knight, Warsaw gives student's unprecedented access to the business of sporting goods and apparel, as well as a deep dive into the international sports marketing scene.
Seeking Internships & Job Opportunities
The number of agencies, organizations and institutions small and large in the U.S. sports industry today are seemingly endless. Each of these entities hires a number of interns each semester to help support their operations. While obtaining an internship in sports is extremely competitive, it is also a necessity for anyone that want's to eventually work in the business.
According to Carolyne Savini, SVP of Recruiting at Turnkey Sports and Entertainment, "For anyone trying to break into the sports industry at the entry level, internship experience is critical. Short of an inside connection, I rarely, if ever, see someone get hired into a job without previous internship experience. The reason is the sports industry is a small, tight-knit community. One can't hide from a reference. If an employer sees the resume of someone who worked for a team or agency property down the street, a call will be made prior to an interview ever being scheduled to confirm how hard and smart of a worker the applicant is."
While one can spend countless hours online googling all of the ideal places they would like to work at to see if they have any internship and entry-level job opportunities available, instead there are a growing number of affordable, student-run and organized conferences and job fairs with career launching opportunities that are worth-while to attend.
A handful of recommended conferences for those actively looking and pursuing a career in the sports industry include:
The National Sports Forum: The largest annual cross gathering of the top team sports marketing, sales, promotions and event entertainment executives – from throughout the broad spectrum of teams and leagues, (i.e. NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, Minor Leagues, Racing, Colleges, etc.), in North America.
Sports Industry Networking And Career Conference (SINC): Similar to the National Sports Forum, SINC offers students and young professionals networking and on the spot interview breakout sessions.
