Living LOHAS 2: Lifestyles Of Health And Sustainability Australia
- October 2008
- Region: Australia
- 190 Pages
- Mobium Group
The consumer market for natural, healthy and sustainable products and services in Australia has grown over 25% to $15Bn in 2008 and is expected to reach at least $22Bn by 2010.
Eco-efficient building, renovation and household products, and natural health and personal care categories are generating significant consumer and community interest and are likely to be the key to increased participation moving forward.
More Australians than ever are making purchasing and lifestyle choices that reflect their concerns about natural health and wellbeing, the environment and sustainability.
At the macro level, Australians have little understanding of the impacts of climate change on their lives, and for most, carbon trading is expected to deliver higher prices with few other direct benefits. The challenge for government and business is in articulating sustainability initiatives at a local and personal level in order to gain buy-in and trust.
Issues that can be understood and addressed at a household level are showing the fastest uptake and products that deliver household water, energy or cost savings, are less toxic or more healthy are benefiting from this trend.
Major opportunities exist for growth, but one size does not fit all.
Careful consideration of segmentation and communication strategies is necessary to help organisations navigate through the wash of unsubstantiated health and environmental claims and find customers with the right level of alignment for their offer.
Your questions answered
- Why is it that over 90% of Australians say they care about the environment, but when it comes to the crunch, only about 10% actively make purchasing and lifestyle choices that reflect this?"
- What is the consumer understanding of carbon trading and corporate social responsbility, and how should business and government respond?
- What are the key trends in consumer concerns about the environment and how has the economic slowdown affected their 'green' purchasing behaviour?
- Will consumers pay a premium for 'green' products and if so, in which categories, and how much?
- What strategies can organisations implement to capture a share of this growing market?
This report will enable you to…
- Develop and review government and corporate sustainability initiatives from a consumer perspective
- Quantify the market opportunity for your natural, healthy and sustainable product offer
- Implement effective targeting and communications strategies
- Assess your 'green' offer against key consumer metrics
- Improve your ability to navigate through the clutter of green brands and green claims in the marketplace
Key Issues Examined in This Report
How many people are acting on their environmental concerns in their purchasing (and voting) choices?
- Is the goodwill of the Australian public who 'want to do the right thing' being tested by the explosion of 'green' claims – and what does this mean for government and business?
- What sources do consumers trust for advice about natural, healthy and environmentally friendly products and services?
- Where do Australians search for information about the environment and sustainability?
- Why has there been an increase in the number of 'Laggards', who say they have now tuned out and are disinterested in environmental issues and concerns?
- What are consumers' views on the role of government in sustainablility policy and corporate social responsibility?
- What premium, if any, will Australians pay for environmentally friendly products and services – including food, energy, household products and major appliances?
- How much do individuals understand about carbon trading and what do they believe the impacts will be?
- What are the top 10 brands that are achieving resonance with Australians for their ethical, sustainable or environmentally friendly reputations, and who else is on the list of over 300 brands mentioned?
- What are the key roadblocks to increased uptake of 'environmentally friendly' options?
- Which consumer segments offer the biggest opportunities for business, and how to reach them?
Some key findings
The natural, healthy and sustainable consumer products and services market has grown by more than 25% since 2007. Across the six LOHAS product categories of Food & Nutrition, Home Life, Mind & Body, Buildings & Energy, Transport & Leisure and Work & Money, consumer spending has increased by $3Bn in the past year, and is forecast to grow by up to another $10Bn over the next 3 years.
90% of Australians are concerned about climate change, but the impacts of climate change and claimed benefits of carbon trading are poorly understood. Most Australians who have an opinion on carbon trading believe its major contribution will be to increase their cost of living, but have no clear understanding of the potential lifestyle impacts that climate change or carbon trading may have on them or the economy.
Whilst a majority of consumers want business to improve their environmental performance, 88% treat 'green' claims with scepticism and distrust Australians see credible third party verification by well-known, trusted organisations as the best way to distinguish between greenwash and genuine environmental claims.

Our Three Stars: Flames vs. Oilers
Wednesday, 09.14.2011 / 8:37 PM MT / 2011 Young Stars tournament
- CalgaryFlames.com
Baertschi led his team on the scoreboard, notching two goals against the Oilers. He created chances every time he stepped on the ice and made everyone around him better. In the middle of the second period, Baertschi was able to pick off the puck in the neutral zone and went steaming into towards netminder Adam Brown on a breakaway. The Edmonton goalie stopped the winger with his glove but Baertschi's read on the play in the middle of the ice and the ensuing speed was nothing short of impressive. He was by far the most dominant player on the ice.
The 20 year-old preserved the win for his team, making several clutch saves in the last minutes of the game and looking solid throughout the entire tilt. The netminder has progressed so much over the course of the tournament and he looked much more comfortable on the North American size ice on Wednesday night. On Sunday, he had trouble with his angles and timing but those issues seem to be smoothed over after playing in three games. Overall, he made 20 saves in the victory.
On a line with Baertschi and Patrick Holland for a second straight game, Reinhart was able set up his linemates for some excellent scoring chances thanks to his great on-ice vision. He read plays better than any other player on the ice and his two-way game was second to none. The pivot is coming off a great year with the Kootenay Ice and if his play in Penticton is any indication, he's going to be a player to watch in the 2011-12 season.

It can't be close, nobody's called a contest.
In the past, I've never paid attention to the changelog, but I've assumed
some do and they see a pattern that suggests the new release is close,
hence the call for the Fun and Games contest.
I've been watching it lately, but I have no previous experience with
the changelog to interpret what's going on. At the moment, there does
seem to be days when it seems a lot is updated, but that in itself
means nothing.

Hi all,
I'm having trouble getting some switches configured correctly, but I'm
starting to think that what we want simply is impossible (unlikely) or
not supported by most models.
I'll first describe the setup and situation. I work for a company that
makes video detection boards: you give them analog video input, and it
generate events based on the video, but you can also have live streaming
video over IP (using RTSP). We are trying to use multicast for the video
streaming, to save bandwidth, but only if we can find a switch that does
proper 'IGMP snooping' and multicast filtering, to block unwanted
traffic (the detector boards always stream, whether or not there's
someone listening).
So what we actually want to have is a 48-port switch of which every port
is connected to a detector board that continuously streams video over
multicast. The boards of course have a valid IP address and the
multicast address is derived from it: e.g. the board on 172.17.3.33 wil
stream to 220.127.116.11. The switch is then uplinked to another switch to
which our workstations are connected (Win XP Pro). On those workstations
we run a client that 'connects' to the multicast streaming of one (or
more) of those detetor boards.
For testing purposes, we disconnected 1 detector board, and connected a
workstation directly to the switch on that port, and removed the uplink,
to rule out uplink problems of any sort.
The problem that we're having is that the multicast traffic isn't
filtered at all on most switches (with IGMP snooping and query enabled),
and is filtered on only one we tested. The switches on which the
filtering works is the 3Com 4228G, if IGMP snooping and query is
enabled. We also tested it on a 3Com 4500 and a 3Com 2250 Plus, but the
4500 only supports snooping, and not query mode, while the 2250 Plus
supports both (like the 4228), but both still flood the multicast packets.
In the 3Com manualfor the 4500 we found this:
"IGMP snooping does not learn unknown multicast packet addresses. As a
result, any unknown multicast packet is flooded on the network.
Multicast packets sent from multicast server towards the IGMP Query
device will be unknown and will be flooded. Packets sent towards a
client that has responded to the IGMP Query messages will be filtered."
And we suspect this to be the reason, but I don't really understand what
is meant by it, and how we can solve it.
Why does the 4228G filter, and the 2250 not, with analog configuration?
is that a bug in either one?
What are we missing here?
BTW: we see analog IGMP V2 packets being generated on both the 4228G and
the 2250 (not on the 4500, most probably because of the lack of the
query mode).
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

MAY 01, 2013 - MarketWatch
A Must Read - Share
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Oil futures closed lower Wednesday as data showing a slowdown in U.S. private-sector jobs growth and weak Chinese manufacturing activity contributed to worries about the outlook for energy demand. U.S. supplies also climbed a lot more than expected last week. June crude settled at $91.03 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. That was the lowest settlement since April 23. Prices were down $2.43, or 2.6% for the session after falling 1.1% on Tuesday. Oil prices pared some of their losses to recoup the $91 level after the Federal Reserve said it would

If you like being the center of attention, then you may want to listen up. A group of funky and eclectic Mini Coopers debuted earlier this month in Miami Beach, and the artist behind it all is giving one lucky winner the chance to own one for a full year.
Ten Mini Coopers wrapped in hip and funky artwork created quite a stir around Miami Beach during the city's Art Basel show, as each of the Minis cruised around town wearing a different theme. Ranging from Grunge Mini to Video Game Mini, pop surrealist artist Aleloop showcased her colorful and playful art on the cars, and even gave a chance for onlookers to truly design their own Mini. Graffiti Mini had a blank canvas slapped onto it, and passersby were able to draw their own artwork on it.
Many of the Minis feature some of Aleloop's very own unique and cartoon-like characters, with other themes including: fine arts, DJ, Mini me, comics, freehand, pattern, and nature. If you like what you see, Aleloop is giving you the chance to start off the new year with a bang. One lucky winner will be able to choose one of the artwork on wheels for one year. The winner will be announced on January 1st, and all that are interested can enter at http://ArtBasel.Aleloop.com.

So now it's the "Fetzer Prize for Love and Forgiveness" is it? Does no one involved realize how ridiculous this is, and how absurd to keep handing out awards to the likes of Desmond Tutu? Christ on a crutch, in every sense.
Vancouver, Sep 28 (IANS)
The Dalai Lama joined Bishop Desmond Tutu, eBay founder Pierre Omidyan, "Power of Now" author Eckhart Tolle, Nobel laureates and other spiritual leaders here to call for change in the world through compassion.
The Tibetan spiritual leader, who is here to lead the Vancouver Peace Summit, and Bishop Tutu were jointly given the Fetzer Prize for Love and Forgiveness. The award has been instituted by Michigan's Fetzer Institute to honour those who are working for peace in the world.
Speaking to nearly 10,000 people on the topic of 'World Peace Through Personal Peace' at the opening session of the three-day Peace Summit Sunday, the Dalai Lama said only true compassion can lead to world peace. He added that technology was becoming a hindrance in the way of peace in the world.
"I think technology may have some benefits for a smart brain but no capacity to produce compassion," he said.
The Dalai Lama said more women should be in positions of power to bring soft power and compassion to the world. The women attending the summit include 1976 Nobel Peace prize winners Mairead Maguire and Betty Williams of Ireland, 1997 Nobel winner Jody Williams from the US, former Ireland president Mary Robinson, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife Maria Shriver, and Bishop Tutu's daughter Mpho Tutu.
The Dalai Lama said jokingly: "Some people may call me a feminist, but we need more effort to promote basic human values - human compassion, human affection. And in that respect, females have more sensitivity for others' pain and suffering."
Real change, he said, must "start with individuals, then family, then community. We really need to embrace the concept of the whole world as 'we'."
Bishop Tutu, who could not come because of an injured back, accepted the award via video from Cape Town.
"We know in our hearts that many of our problems stem from our disregard of these virtues - the capacity to forgive, the capacity to reconcile, the capacity for caring for our fellow human beings," Tutu said.
Earlier, welcoming the Dalai Lama and others to the peace summit, Canadian Governor General Michaelle Jean said such "a dazzling constellation of global change agents" can pave the way for change in the world.
"You have a unique opportunity to dream big. Please be inspired. The world is counting on you. Peace is within our grasp," she said via video from the Canadian capital Ottawa.
The summit will hold discussions on various challenges facing humanity.

Update 2 (12:17 a.m. ET):
According to James Ham of Cowbell Kingdom, Thomas' MRI came back negative. He won't be missing any time.
NBA source confirms that Isaiah Thomas underwent an MRI today. Results negative. He is not expected to miss any time. Will play tomorrow.
— James Ham (@James_Ham) February 19, 2014
Update 1 (10:10 p.m. ET):
According to Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski, Thomas has been suffering from strained ligaments in his shooting wrist.
While the injury has been deemed minor, it could have an impact on his trade value. Thomas hits restricted free agency this summer. Per Wojnarowski:
Sacramento Kings point guard Isaiah Thomas has strained ligaments in his shooting wrist, an MRI revealed, and further complications could lead to him missing time, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Despite the recent diagnosis, Thomas has been determined to play through the pain, sources told Yahoo Sports. Nevertheless, there could come a time in the near future when Thomas could need to consider procedural remedies for the wrist, sources said.
The wrist issue is considered "a short-term nuisance," one source said, and will have no long-term bearing on Thomas' career.
(Original Text)
The Sacramento Kings haven't been shy this season when it comes to wheeling and dealing, but it sounds like their most shocking move may still go down in the coming days.
According to ESPN's Marc Stein, third-year point guard Isaiah Thomas is being made available in talks to further enhance the roster.
Most intriguing Sacramento-based deadline story is increasingly loud buzz out there that Isaiah Thomas is available in midst of career year
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) February 18, 2014
The news of Thomas being shopped around league-wide, in the middle of a career season, comes a day after Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports reported a similar nugget. According to Spears, the Kings made a push for Boston Celtics' point man Rajon Rondo and offered a package headlined by Thomas and rookie Ben McLemore.
26. Boston Celtics (19-35; last week's ranking: 26): Source said Sacramento offered Isaiah Thomas, Ben McLemore and a pick for Rajon Rondo. Rondo wasn't interested in re-signing with Sacramento.
Sacramento failed to lure in its coveted star, but it seems as if management is continuing to use Thomas as bait for an even flashier name.
Through the first half of 2013-14, Thomas has been enjoying a breakout season as the starting point man. He's averaging 20 points and six assists on 44 percent shooting. The team dealt Greivis Vasquez earlier in the season to free up the starting job for the University of Washington product.
As it turns out, perhaps it was solely to showcase him for rival front offices.
Thomas just turned 25 this month and is playing for the minimum salary this season. He's set to hit restricted free agency this summer.
It's unclear who Sacto has reached out to, besides Boston, with a potential Thomas deal, but after landing Rudy Gay and former second-overall pick Derrick Williams in trades already this season, it's clear that Kings GM Pete D'Alessandro doesn't mind grabbing the headlines through trade activity.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
As his company Star Sounds Productions started to gain a terrible reputation, Leflar conned Ron Israel, his supposed best friend, into investing heavily into Star Sounds, knowing full well he would be shutting down the company as soon as he recieved Ron's money.
Leflar and his employee Eric Symons launched sister companies STB DJS ( Short for Simply the Best) and Simply the Best Entertainment, located at Eric Symons's house. The rip offs of artists continued, with both musicians and agents finding themselves hoodwinked by Steven R Leflar. [continued below]....
Recent talk indicates that Eric Symon's is now divuging the true extent of Steven R Leflar's deciet, and has described Leflar as a "psycopath, deciever, white trash, unbalanced person", etc.
Questions are still being raised as to why Symon's continued to associate with Steve Leflar, even act as an accomplice to Leflar's crimes. The only reasonable conclusion was that Symon's was dominated by fear of Steve Leflar, and as Symon's begins to speak out against Leflar, he should be encouraged to publically take an active stand against Leflar and his reprehensible tactics. Symon's appears to still be associated with Leflar as recently as 2 months ago. This is a sad reflection on Simply The Best Entertainment. The old adage, you cannot serve two masters, applies here.
Leflar has committed a great many crimes. Some of the recent outrages incude assuming the identity of a minor with intent to commit harm, assuming the names of event planners, wedding planners, hospitality planners, composers and others. Rip Off Report offers a a solid stance in defending first amendment rights. There are times when Rip Off Reports takes an active interest in seeing justice served.
Steven R Leflar is now exposed as a sociopath,pathological liar and generally wicked and worthless human being. If his best friend from 1987 has turned against him, this is an indication of just how demented Leflar has become. Leflar has created websites on various individuals, thinking that such silliness actually sways opinion. It doesnt. As far as Eric Symons, the jury is still out. Mr Symons will not fully earn the trust of anyone until he publically rebukes Steven R Leflar. By avoiding the issue, he not only continues allowing Leflar a voice, but also exposes Leflar to clients and friends.Symons, by not actively condemning Leflar, gives tactic approval to Leflar's attacks on women, on children, on the very industry that has allowed him a livelyhood.
Mr.Symon's stand up and denouce Steven R Leflar, for the good of your own reputation, and out of loyalty to the clients you claim to protect./Stand up Mr Symons, for the sake of decency.Your silence on this matter is deafening.
This report was posted on Ripoff Report on 01/26/2013 07:31 AM and is a permanent record located here: http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Steven-R-Leflar/Elk-Grove-California-/Steven-R-Leflar-STB-Entrertainment-Stevens-musicbiz-Criminal-Sociopath-STB-Simply-the-Be-1003736.

Research Interests
I work on early modern literature, philosophy and science.
My current research investigates the correlations that John Locke and his contemporaries perceived between types of reading and writing and types of thinking, particularly the question of how literary practices relate to notions of free thought and mental oppression in the seventeenth century. This research is part of the Balzan seminar 'Literature as an Object of Knowledge'.
My doctoral thesis was about John Locke's philosophical method, and looked at how the act of communicating physical and cognitive experience functioned as a route to knowledge.
I join St John's from Queen Mary, University of London, via a short FWO fellowship in Flanders. I am involved with preparing the notebooks and tracts volumes of a new edition of seventeenth-century physician and writer Sir Thomas Browne's Complete Works (OUP), have a longstanding interest in the early-modern physical environment, and have previously taught courses on Shakespeare and Old and Middle English.

OK so I migrated my site onto my host and I can no longer add Uses - Posts - Pages. It comes up with "Submit for Review" instead of "Publish" It doesn't give me the option to say yes to have it except it.
So I assumed this had something to do with permissions or an incorrect value in the database. As I read up on it it may have something to do with AUTO_INCREMENT. Anyway so I compared the two views of PhpMyAdmin. One from my staging server where it worked fine and the other from my host server and I found that there is a table row missing.. Row number 14 is missing in my WP-USERMETA database table.
Does anyone know if this is the problem or am I getting to detailed and there is a more simple fix...
Please HELP!!! Anyone!!!

Post subject: reward system
Hi i need some advice. My eldest daughter has been really good since my baby girl was born 3 weeks ago. How ever as expected we have a few moments !! I.think most of it is down to attention, shes been an.knly spoilt child for 4 yrs so i didnt expect much less.
How ever occasionally she gets a little cheeky and back chats.
I do feel bad though that sometimes i cant give her all the attention she wants though.
I was thinking about doing a reward chart thing,.nothing too strict as in general she is a good girl.
Just things like gets dressed nicely in the morning, helps tidy up after dinner/tea, tidies up toys, gets ready for bed nicely etc etc then rewarding at the end of the week with a magazine or some sweets or new colouring books/pens, just small things really.
What do you ladies think ? I need advice and opinions.
Thank you

15. The serial handshaker
They will not rest until they've shaken hands with everybody in the same seat as them, the seat in front and the seat behind.
16. The visiting priest
Every now and again you'll get a little surprise when a priest from 'somewhere else' arrives out from the vestry to say mass.
He could be from the neighbouring parish or better yet; a local priest who's on a holiday home from the missions. Cue your mother getting over-excited.
17. The person who prays really slowly
'Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus'... (Meanwhile 20 seconds later) ... thy womb Jesus.
18. The confused new altar server
The young fella thrown in from the start with no match experience. It's sink or swim and if it all goes wrong he'll have made a fool of himself in front of the whole parish. No pressure!
19. The gossips
They're more interested in such a one's daughter from down the road who's apparently pregnant rather than the Immaculate Conception.
20. The seat hoggers
OK, well maybe they're not as bad as this guy.
21. The quick priest
No messing about, 25 minutes in and out.
22. The lads who stand outside at funerals
This is what happens when all the lads from the neighbouring parishes who like to sit down the back converge on one chapel for a big funeral.
The back seats not big enough for all of them so they'd sooner stand outside than sit anywhere else.

Meet Your New LBO Backers: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
We're still piecing together some of the details around the just-completed $13.6 billion Archstone-Smith buyout by Lehman Brothers and Tishman-Speyer.
One feature of the deal that caught our eye is the participation of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in the transaction, heretofore unknown players in any of the REIT and real-estate related deals covered by Deal Journal in the past.
As described in the company's press release, Fannie Mae purchased a $7.1 billion credit facility secured by 105 apartment buildings. Freddie Mac, meanwhile, executed a $1.8 billion structured transaction that provided new financing for 32 multifamily properties across the country and approved assumption of an additional 15 properties.
This appears an especially large deal for Fannie, which along with Freddie, pool smortgages from around the country, bundle them, and sell them off as separate securities. Although Fannie and Freddie are private-sector companies, they were created by Congress to funnel money into housing, and investors assume that Congress would bail them out in a crisis.
A different crisis — a credit crisis — brought havoc to the Archstone buyout. Investors fretted that the deal may not close during August, and the closing had to be delayed.
We're still not sure how and why Fannie and Freddie got involved, but it's clear from reading executive comments that they stepped in to stanch a bad situation.
David Worley, Fannie's senior vice president of risk management put it like this: "Fannie Mae is pleased to serve as a constant and reliable source of liquidity in today's ever-changing [we read this as "crummy"] capital markets."

TAUNTON — A 41-year-old New Bedford woman jumped from an overpass onto the highway in Taunton on Sunday afternoon, prompting a MedFlight helicopter to be called to the scene, halting traffic for about an hour, according to state police.
Massachusetts State Police received a call at 4 p.m. stating that a woman was climbing the fence at the Hollaway Street overpass in East Taunton before jumping down onto Route 140, said state police Lt. Dan Richard.
The woman was taken by MedFlight to Rhode Island Hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries, Richard said. It was the second weekend in a row that someone jumped from an overpass onto a highway in the Taunton area and survived.
Taunton and Lakeville fire departments were dispatched to assist at the scene.
Richard said he did not have any information on damaged cars that were visible at the scene, or whether they were connected to crashes resulting from the woman jumping onto the highway.
Traffic began moving again on Route 140 South at about 5 p.m. and started moving slowly on the northbound side a few minutes later. Richard said that while Route 140 southbound was shut down to help treat the woman, the northbound lane was partially shut down for investigation.
No further information was immediately available from state police.
Throughout the lengthy incident, motorists who came to a stop on the highway got out of their cars as they waited for emergency responders to finish their work. Many wondered what happened, peering ahead, and one man took out an acoustic guitar to play as he sat on the side of the road.
A similar incident happened last Saturday in Raynham, when a Taunton man survived a suicide attempt when he jumped from an overpass onto Route 24, police said.
In that case, the unidentified man was not hit by any vehicles and was taken by ambulance to Rhode Island Hospital, Raynham police said. At least one motorist had stopped to try to convince the man not to kill himself, Raynham Police Chief James Donovan said.
No one else was reported injured in the Raynham incident.

Photographer Naoki Fukuda's shots from Tokyo, where WBC bantamweight titlist Shinsuke Yamanaka, former titleholders Roman Gonzalez and Takahiro Ao, and Jorge Linares all won by knockout.
Shinsuke Yamanaka showed why he is regarded as the hardest hitting bantamweight in the world today, knocking out Alberto Guevara in the ninth round to retain his WBC bantamweight title on Sunday afternoon in Tokyo.
RingTV.com has a live round-by-round update of tonight's featherweight rematch during which former RING junior featherweight champion Nonito Donaire scored a ninth-round TKO over ex- flyweight and 115-pound beltholder Vic Darchinyan.
Vic Darchinyan on Nonito Donaire: "I'm going to come and expose him and show to all of the world that I can beat him, and not only just beat him, but I can beat him easily."
Nonito Donaire shared about his childhood and the fear he had during his early boxing experiences on an HBO-produced video for the Boxing After Dark series. "Walking into the ring," he said. "I literally pissed in my pants I was so scared."
Three-division titleholder Nonito Donaire enters his Nov. 9 return bout against Vic Darchynian after the birth of his son as well as a reconciliation with his father and former trainer, Nonito Donaire Sr.
A deal has been reached for a catchweight five pounds above the original limit for Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Bryan Vera on Saturday, raising questions of fairness and fighter safety. HBO's Jim Lampley gives his take on the son of Mexico's most famous boxer.
Vic Darchinyan will get a shot at revenge against Nonito Donaire six years after Donaire's left hook knocked him out in the fifth round.
Wednesday's press conference featuring Mikey Garcia and rival Rocky Martinez, plus Nonito Donaire and Vic Darchinyan, was streamed live on Top Rank's website.
Former RING junior featherweight champion Nonito Donaire and RING featherweight champion Mikey Garcia will return to the ring on Nov. 9 as part of a tripleheader on HBO.
Nonito Donaire, who says he currently weighs 145 pounds, will "try" to get down to 122 pounds for his next bout.
Nonito Donaire and Mikey Garcia headline separate cards in November.
Vic Darchinyan may get a shot at redemption against Nonito Donaire in November.

It's been a busy year for Neal Morse. First, he helped put out the new Transatlantic record which my cohort Chris still believes (and not erroneously,) to be one of the best albums of the year. Then he popped out a solo record (as seen this week on this site!) and now he's also gearing up to release the new Flying Colors record in the fall. Flying Colors, for those who may not know, is the on-again, off-again, whenever-we-have-time project that Morse works on with apex drummer Mike Portnoy, Steve Morse (no relation,) Dave LaRue and newish vocalist Casey McPherson.
Alright, class. The subject we'll be discussing this week is a genre commonly referred to as "progressive metal". When I hear the word "progressive" I think of acts like Rush and King Crimson. Technically, Fates Warning and Queensryche are also classified as progressive along with one of the most successful progressive metal acts, Dream Theater. Add to that list the album I'm reviewing today, "Into the Maelstrom" by Bigelf.
Rare is the occasion when a 'supergroup' lives up to the hype. Most of the time, they wind up being a collection of pieces that don't really fit together, cobbling together music that can be very good, but never matches the expectations we have built up. Transatlantic is one of those supergroups that obliterates the doubts I have over such projects. After a debut that showed promise, but was a band obviously finding their way, they released back-to-back modern classics in the form of "Bridge Across Forever" (my favorite prog album of all time), and the immense "The Whirlwind".
- First and Foremost, the somewhat somber news late last week that Dream Theater's Mike Portnoy is finishing off recording tracks for the new Avenged Sevenfold album. This of course comes following the news of The Rev's passing a couple months ago. The show must go on, I suppose.

Gazzetta dello Sport said the fiery Italy international, who became Southampton's club-record signing when he joined for £15 million from AS Roma in August, would be loaned out subject to a medical in Turin on Friday.
Juve, who have to pay €400,000 (£328,000) for the loan, would also have an option to buy the 28-year-old for €18 million (£14m), Gazzetta added. Sky Sports also said a deal was imminent.
Osvaldo was suspended by Southampton last Thursday for two weeks following an incident at the club's training ground which British media said was a bust-up with team mate Jose Fonte.
Southampton did not disclose what had happened but said in a statement: "The club has taken swift and proper action for what it considers a breach of the conduct expected of its players."
Earlier this month Osvaldo, who has only scored three goals in 12 appearances for Southampton, was fined £40,000 and banned for three matches by the English FA for his part in a touchline fracas against Newcastle United in December.
Osvaldo, who has 12 international caps, has a history of disciplinary problems. He was also kicked out of Italy's Confederations Cup squad last year after throwing a tantrum during Roma's defeat by Lazio in the Coppa Italia final.
TV cameras caught Osvaldo apparently insulting Roma coach Aurelio Andreazzoli after being left out of the starting lineup.
He began his career in Argentina with Huracan and has also played for Atalanta, Lecce, Fiorentina and Bologna in Italy and Espanyol in Spain.

Outback Steak House Dining Options
Outback has several healthy options that can fit on anyone's fitness plan. We talked about mentioning restaurants that had options and allowed for easy modifications so here is another to add to the list!
No worries… You can have steak and seafood, as long as you order right!
6 oz. Outback Special with Fresh Seasonal Veggies and Half a Sweet Potato (All Without Butter)
Steak 'n sweet potato… and just the right amounts. Add a pile of veggies and you've got a filling meal (plus half a potato to take home)!
Eat It! Lobster Tails with Fresh Seasonal Veggies and Half a Sweet Potato (All Without Butter)
Appetizer: Seared Ahi Tuna
4 servings of 108 calories, 6g fat, 467mg sodium, 3g carbs, 0.5g fiber, 7g protein
–ask for sauce to be removed to cut those extra calories, who is really only going to eat 1/4 of the small appetizer!?
You can always go for the small order — 162 calories and 10.5g fat. Just add a side of veggies or a salad, and this shared starter could become a great meal!
Entrée: Grilled Chicken on the Barbie with Fresh Seasonal Veggies (Both Without Butter)
(my favorite!! or you can do it with shrimp or grilled scallops!)
OUTBACK is super easy to modify and they are really flexible with modifications!
-Beware of the Mustard Vinaigrette and fat-free Tangy Tomato dressing. Mustard Vinaigrette has 285 calories and 29 grams of fat per serving, and even the Tangy Tomato has close to 100 calories per serving.
-Use oil and vinegar on the side and never go for their premade dressings!
-When you do order a house salad, ask for it without the croutons or cheese.
-Another note, their "SWEET POTATO" IS ACTUALLY A "YAM"!!! Those Aussie's don't know any different!
Hope that Helps!


text: Pretty weak arguments to hate this team. You obviously failed to mention how the Mavs got here: beating a pesky Portland team that nobody wanted to play in 6, and sweeping the defending champions. They have been resting for nine days now. That's 3 days longer than they get for the all-star break. This is their year. Thunder are too new to this game. Now, next year and the years to come after Dirk, Terry, Kidd and the rest of the old Mavs leave? Then it's the Thunder's to take, and they will win championships.

Cheryl brings to Alain Pinel Realtors a high degree of integrity and professionalism. She has been selling real estate in the Santa Clara Valley since 1989 and is a respected member of the Real Estate community.
A native of Hawaii, Cheryl graduated from University of Hawaii with a Bachelors in Business Administration in 1985. She moved to California in 1986 and earned her broker´s license in 1992. She became a Certified Residential Specialist CRS in 1995. This puts her among only 3% of all Realtors holding the prestigious designation.
Cheryl´s professionalism is attested by her client´s loyalty. After one transaction with her, they return again and again. They speak of the "stress free" transaction they had and how well informed they were throughout the process.
Cheryl is consistently among the top producers in Santa Clara County, but she still manages to balance an active family life with her career. The mother of two children, Cheryl takes time to attend all their school functions and sporting events. She herself is an avid sports enthusiast and enjoys snowboarding, volleyball, basketball, tennis, and windsurfing.
-B & D Fukuda
"Cheryl is a joy to work with, with no high pressure sales job, and yet a respect for my time, energy, and resources. She forges personal relationships with her clients, often going above and beyond the call of duty to make sure her clients are happy and well taken care of. She has arranged workers, designers, and suppliers to upgrade my purchase and she has taken care of me even "after the sale". The dedication, professionalism, and efficiency and the personal touch of Cheryl Okuno are very real assets to Alain Pinel Realtors. She is to be commended for her efforts and the results."
-A. Nakamura
"Cheryl's explanation of the step by step process at our first meeting put us at ease. Her knowledge of the real estate market, organizational skills and guidance were invaluable. Because of her honesty, openness and expertise, the sale could not have gone more quickly or smoothly."
-R Murakami
"Cheryl went above and beyond my expectations. I felt like I was her only client because she always looked after my best interests and never made me feel like she needed to be somewhere else. I can honestly say she made the whole process go smoothly and with absolutely no inconvenience to me."
-M Chang
"We were able to quickly find and negotiate the buyer of our dream home, as well as sell our current home at above the market rate—both within weeks of each other. Cheryl was able to alleviate much of the stress of buying and selling a home by being extremely knowledgeable and organized, and took us step by step through the process. Cheryl went out of her way to make sure that we were taken care of in every aspect. We could not have done it without you!"

Michelin Star Restaurants in London
Wild Honey reviews
Went here for Mother's Day. Staff very attentive, food and wine excellent. Really enjoyed the ox cheek and extensive selection of French cheeses. Special Mother's Day lunch menu very good value at £27 for three courses. The idea of the wine list being available in 250ml carafes sounds brilliant - will try that next time!

Having been to Arbutus and loved it, I tried to book this restaurant for a birthday dinner. However, beware: when you book the table they only 'allocate' you a table for 2 hours! I cancelled my booking as soon as I saw that. I do not want to pay that much money for two hours at the table.

Peter Capaldi, AKA the New Doctor Who, Has a Secret Punk Past
Secret Pasts
So this weekend, the internet lost its hive mind at the announcement that Peter Capaldi, AKA Malcolm "I'd love to stop and chat to you but I'd rather have type-2 diabetes" Tucker, is going to be the twelfth Doctor Who. This is a brave, inspired choice from the producers, I guess. They're changing gears from Matt Smith's animated, boyish character to a part that will surely become more psychological, and definitely more profane.
But guess what? Peter Capaldi wasn't always in his mid-50s. He used to be the lead singer for an 80s Scottish punk band called the Dreamboys. The drummer just happened to be the piggish late-night talk show host and hater of journalism Craig Ferguson. Listen to their track "Bela Lugosi's Birthday" below.
Some context: even the cool bits of Glasgow were pretty grim in the late 70s. Most people wore those stupid cardigan/sweater thingies, read fanzines, and complained about living in Glasgow a lot. So a 22-year-old Capaldi moved from Glasgow to Edinburgh in 1980 and started playing gigs at the Nite Club alongside post-punk bands like Altered Images and the Twinsets. Because of Alan Horne's short-lived label Postcard Records—which, signed up Orange Juice and Josef K—Scotland had a vibrant underground music scene in the early 80s. A lot of politically minded musicians wrote belligerently utopian, sardonic songs that had a humor and heart that was often missing from London's concurrent new wave scene. John Peel was a champion of the Postcard bands on his Radio 1 show, but wouldn't give a break to the Dreamboys. "We were the only band John Peel never gave a session to in Glasgow," a sadfaced Peter Capaldi once told an interviewer.
The Nite Club, whose name is more meta than a Wes Anderson film about a Wes Anderson film, sounds kind of amazing. On a promotional poster from the early Eighties, it lists "air conditioning" as one of its attributes. And on Sunday's they had Ital Reggae Disco nights.
The Dreamboys, in a more derivative early incarnation, called themselves the Bastards From Hell, which makes them sound like a cleft of evil male stippers. But as their sound developed, they became one of the spikier bands on the scene, songs like "Outer Limits" doubling the BPM of many of the bands around at the time, Capaldi's tormented screeches drowning out thick-cut overdrive.
While the audio quality is about as good as you'd expect from a recording of a recording, you can clearly hear the band's brash uniqueness, Capaldi's potential as a future Doctor Who shining through in his lyrics (probably), with Ferguson's ruggedly adequate beats completely telegraphing his future as a ruggedly adequate late-night television host. Listen to a final track from the Dreamboys below:

Confinement Outreach Program
The Supreme Court held in Bounds v. Smith, 430 U.S. 823 (1977) that "the fundamental constitutional right of access to the courts requires prison authorities to assist inmates in the preparation and filing of meaningful legal papers with adequate law libraries or adequate assistance from persons trained in the law." Id. at 828. The New England Journal on Criminal and Civil Confinement extends pro bono educational services to local prisoners in accordance with Bounds through weekly trainings for prisoners. Students on the Journal travel to the Suffolk County Jail at Nashua Street and present information on legal topics that are relevant to the prison population, including the 4th, 6th, 8th, and 14th Amendments, legal research, procedural process of a trial, basic evidentiary issues, and relevant current case law.
This program began in 1978 through a relationship between the Journal and the Middlesex County Correctional Facility, and it represents the only program of its kind in New England. Beginning in 2008, the Journal established a new partnership with the Suffolk County Jail at Nashua Street. The Confinement Outreach Program continues to thrive thanks to the continued interest and support from students, facility staff, and detainees at the facility. If you are interested in more information about prison or correctional law, see the New England Law Library's research page on Prison Law.

The beginning of the collaboration of Erich Hubmann and Andreas Vass dates from their common occupation, during their studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, with questions of landscape, urban morfology and socio-cultural aspects in traditional building types. In 1986 a four month stage and research was carried out in Fez, Morocco. Since 1988 they are working together in their studio in Vienna on a wide range of public and private commissions.
In 1990 they won the worldwide competition for the Reorganization and redevelopment of the landscape areas connected to the new access to the Alhambra, Granada and consequently worked on the forthcoming of this project, which was realized up to 1997. They were invited to various international and national competitions and workshops dealing with problems of urban and landscape redevelopment, as for instance for the Extension of San Michele cemetry, in Venice. Up to 2011 they realized their winning project for the Rivoli Castle hillside and mechanized stairway. Remodelling and design works for the word-famous glass-firm Lobmeyr and private clients.
Besides they have developed a broad teaching activity at European and extra European architecture schools.
