There are 30 teams in major league baseball; each team has around five starters at any point in the season. You don't need a calculator to know that there are roughly 150 starters at a given time -- but you do need a calculator to enter 8 0 0 8 5 and get a cheap laugh. (People who were in 7th grade in 1994 get that joke.)
That's a lot of names, when you think about it. And with the average fantasy owner only owning six or seven starters at a given time, that means there's a bunch of pitchers you're paying zero attention to. When you scan our Probable Starters Grid, it's common to see a recognizable name -- usually someone who's had success in the past -- and think, "Is that guy still good, or ... just hanging out?" Last year, Francisco Liriano, Bartolo Colon and John Lackey would've fallen into this category, so there are potential sleepers lurking among the castoffs.
MORE FANTASY BASEBAL: Unsettled closer battles | Opening-week SP sleepers
Here's a quick look at some former "name" pitchers who have been largely ignored this spring:
John Danks, White Sox (owned in 1% of Yahoo! leagues). The 28-year-old lefty has battled injuries the past couple years, including a left shoulder problem last year. His numbers -- particularly his K-rate (5.79) -- have really dropped, making him AL-only filler in fantasy leagues. However, he's pitched pretty well this spring (2.96/1.27, 13 Ks in 24.1), and, most important, his velocity has been up from what it was the past couple seasons. This doesn't mean Danks will return to his 2008 form, but he's at least worth watching early on. He has an interesting matchup in Kansas City in next weekend.
Bud Norris, Orioles (2%). The move to Baltimore was pretty much a disaster for Norris last year. He posted a 4.80/1.68 line and saw his K-rate drop over the course of the season, and there's already been talk of moving him to the bullpen -- maybe even making him a closer -- this year. For what it's worth, Norris is having a decent spring (2.65/1.29, 15 Ks in 17 innings), but it's tough to trust him in Camden Yards and the AL East. He's not worth considering unless his K-rate gets back up to around a batter per inning.
Brett Anderson, Rockies (3%). Anderson's frequent injuries and move to Colorado have all but left him for dead in fantasy owners' eyes. The 26-year-old lefty has the kind of ground-ball rate that should play well at Coors Field (62.9 percent last year, 54.9 percent for his career), but his mediocre spring (3.27/1.45, 11 Ks in 22 innings) isn't exactly confidence inspiring. Even with two starts scheduled for next week (@MIA, vs. ARI), he's best left on the waiver wire for now. But if he starts showing signs of regaining his strikeout pitch, Anderson should be picked up immediately.

Brandon Morrow, Blue Jays (5%). A right forearm injury limited Morrow to just 10 starts last year, and he struggled in all but two of them. This spring hasn't gone well either (9.00/1.70, 6 Ks in 10 innings), so it's tough to imagine Morrow having much value early on, especially with an opening-week matchup against the Rays.
Wandy Rodriguez, Pirates (6%). Rodriguez has been remarkably consistent over the past six years, never having an ERA above 3.76 or below 3.02. He looked to be on his way to a career year last season before a right forearm injury shut him down in early June. Rodriguez hasn't impressed much this spring (3.09/1.46, 9 Ks in 11.2 innings), but overall, he's probably better than he's being given credit for, especially when you factor in his 2.83/1.02 line at PNC Park the past two seasons. With an opening-week matchup against the Cubs on the horizon, he's a solid streaming option who could stay on your team as a No. 5 starter.
Phil Hughes, Twins (8%). Hughes has had two seasons with at least 16 wins -- for the Yankees, no less -- despite never posting an ERA below 4.03 as a starter. Those campaigns put him on the map, but his 4-14 debacle last season quickly wiped him off. Now in Minnesota, he's in a much better park for his fly-ball tendencies, and at just 27, it's possible -- likely, even -- that Hughes can have a bounce-back season. Unfortunately, he hasn't wowed this spring (4.74/1.58, 12 Ks in 19 innings), so it's tough to get excited about him right now, especially with an opening-week matchup in homer-happy U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago. The sleeper potential is there, but Hughes will have to show us some progress first.

» Oh so close:
The UNC volleyball team came close to upsetting perennial power and in-state rival CSU on Tuesday, falling 3-1. The loss was close thanks in large part to a dominant performance from UNC senior Kelley Arnold , who had a match-high 24 kills.
» Running roughshod:
Windsor's running game was shut down in the second half against Pueblo West . Where Windsor left off, the Cyclones stepped up. The state's leading rusher, Derek Jackson , recorded his seventh 300 yard game of the season with 381 yards and four touchdowns to help the Cyclones top Windsor.
Each week, The Tribune Sports staff ranks the five hottest teams regardless of league. These rankings are based on the sports desk's coverage and opinion only. This week The Tribune looks at the five prep football teams that showed the best form to close the season.
1. Platte Valley
By virtue of being the only Weld football team still playing, Platte Valley earns the top spot. A dominant 31-6 win over Bayfield on Saturday that vaulted the Broncos into their third Class 2A state title game in the past seven years is more icing on the cake.
2. Windsor
If not for the state's best running back — perhaps of all time — the Wizards may still be playing. Still, Windsor finished its return to 4A at 10-2 and was leading Pueblo West and its record-setting running back Derek Jackson by two scores before succumbing to the No. 1 seed in the quarterfinals.
3. Eaton
The Reds (11-1) got their first loss of the season in the quarterfinals of the Class 2A state playoffs against a Platte Valley team they had previously beaten. That may have made the sting of the game's frosty weather a bit worse.
4. Roosevelt
The Rough Riders (7-5) were the epitome of "better than their record" this season. After a rough start against top competition, the Riders rattled off seven straight wins before falling to undefeated No. 1 seed Rifle in the Class 3A quarterfinals.
5. Dayspring
In one of the year's largest upsets, the Eagles lost their first game since 2010 to 16th seed Granada, 32-27, in the first round of the Class 1A 8-man state playoffs. A bit of consolation: That Granada team is set to take on Hoehne in the state title game.
Throughout this year I have had so many injuries and a lot of people would've packed it in. But I wanted to prove to myself and to everybody else that if you come to those injuries you don't just quit. You keep going and going."
— Darin McDonald, University of Northern Colorado tight end, on pushing through injuries to get the most out of his senior season with the Bears.

To cheat or not to cheat...
Really, there is no question. Cinema loves infidelity. It's the scenario that can bring about sex, anger or comedy. Think the passions of 'Unfaithful,' the dangers of 'Fatal Attraction' or Leslie Mann's paranoia in 'Knocked Up.' It fuels reminiscences in 'The End of the Affair,' is an unavoidable downside to soulmates in 'Before Sunset' and inspires men to murder in 'Dial M for Murder.'
This month, it's also a prevalent theme in new releases. As Perri noted last week, the first month of the year usually isn't the best for cinema. It's plagued with studio runoff as everyone focuses on last year's picks and who will win all of those pretty little statuettes. This year, however, is a little bit different, fodder fare mixed with Golden Globe-nominated productions. But it's also heavily unfaithful.
Out of twelve main releases, four focus on cheating. We've got 'Country Strong,' 'The Other Woman,' 'Barney's Version' and 'The Dilemma.' 33% of January's films in the first half of the month center on lusty desires and unfaithful actions.
It starts with 'Country Strong,' which continues to expand into more markets. Gwyneth Paltrow is fallen country star and alcoholic suffering the quintessential divide between young and fresh talent and the rising obscurity of age, not to mention being torn between her manager and husband (Tim McGraw) and a rising songwriter (Garrett Hedlund).
Meanwhile, though it doesn't come out in theaters until February, VOD is now offering Natalie Portman's 'The Other Woman.' Once titled 'Love and Other Impossible Pursuits,' the Don Roos film focuses on what happens after the cheating, as Natalie Portman plays the other woman who scores the man, gets the family and then deals with familial tragedy. Though the feature focuses on her trying to be a stepmother whilst mourning the loss of her own child -- which makes the previous title rather apt -- the powers that be ultimately decided to focus on the infidelity.
The male point of view gets play in the final two selections.
Next comes 'The Dilemma.' Ron Howard's comedy focuses on a lifelong bachelor (Vince Vaughn) who discovers that his best friend's (Kevin James) wife (Winona Ryder) is cheating on him with a young hottie (Channing Tatum). As the summary and trailer outline, Vaughn approaches Ryder, who threatens to lie and shift the blame onto him to save her hide.
Finally there's 'Barney's Version.' You have to go out with a bang, both figuratively and literally. The film offers most of the forms of cheating you can imagine. There's dating cheating which leads to baby surprises, meeting the love of your life at your wedding to someone else, cheating with the most inappropriate choices and finding others to fill a sad, marital void.
In two weeks of releases, the cheating increases from messy triangles to emotional torture to sneaky blackmail and a selection overflowing with infidelity. That's a lot of cheating in half a month.
The most interesting in this batch is definitely 'The Other Woman,' which not only features the theme, but was also rejigged through marketing to center on the unfaithfulness at the base of the story, rather than on the emotional journey the "other woman" takes. Our first introduction to her is through the title -- 'The Other Woman' -- and then through the initial moments of the trailer, where news that the man at her door is married doesn't evoke surprise. Discussion of the infidelity is, instead, framed as pre-sex flirting. Portman's character is now immediately coded with an imaginary, crimson A, adding a sense of morality before the film airs, and prepping us for distinct opinion of her character. (Similar can be said for Winona Ryder's character in 'Dilemma,' who quickly gets sneaky and mean in the face of her cheating.)
In the past, infidelity offered a great duality that intermingled wanton promiscuity with a sense of menace. The other woman was exactly that -- the "other" -- foreign and sultry, acting as a signifier of repressed desire and the allure of that which is unfamiliar. It was the escape from the Donna Reed norm, and likewise, was a peephole into realistic situations that "morally influenced" storytelling refused to state.
But what does an inundation like this mean now? There are some solid female characterizations in the above films, especially Rosamund Pike in 'Version,' whose character tries to figure out how to navigate the divide between feelings and cheating. But two of the four are also quick to code, in marketing, the woman as home-wrecker, the saboteur of happiness ('Other,' 'Dilemma').
It brings to mind a scene in 'The King's Speech,' when Lionel Logue wonders why King Edward VIII cannot continue his love affair discreetly, so that he can publicly offer up the life expected of royalty. It used to be that there was this secret world. The "other woman" was the way to privately act on passion that wasn't considered suitable. But in a world where divorce rates are on the rise, not to mention various elongated single-hood and polyamorous arrangements, an overabundance of films about cheating seems antiquated, almost like the last rush of air in a dying social system.
We're a society that now relishes wildly diversified fields of interest, where one can bounce from painter to inventor to philosopher to media maven. The world is at our fingertips and as a result, it's both easier and harder to find the perfect mate -- easier to find someone with some similar interests, yet harder to find someone that's following the same trajectory of trivial whims. We're a more honest public, revealing all minutia of our lives, from TMI medical conditions to morning breakfasts and interpersonal affairs. Our private experiences are now public. There's a war for how to define marriage and, in many people's eyes, whether there's any point to the 'affair' at all.
Whether our social norms change or ultimately reassert themselves, we're at least evolved enough not to have so much of it focus on the women. He might be a despicable character, but thank god for Barney Panovsky, who offers himself up to help level out the gender field of infidelity.
Is there still the same place and environment for the "other woman," or cheating in general? Or, is it time for the notion to evolve?

Q: I'm married to a man who won't work. If you ask him, he'll say he's a real-estate agent, but he hardly ever sells anything. He says it's because of the economy. I pay all the bills for him, our daughter and his son, who comes over regularly and eats everything in sight. I hate seeing him lying around like a lazy bum. I don't know how much longer I can hang on.
Mia: You didn't say whether you still love him. If you do, and I suspect so, you're going to have to get him some help. Is there a pastor he respects? Or could you possibly get him to marriage counseling? You're going to organize some sort of intervention to get him some help or else you are going to become so resentful that one day you won't write to advice columnists — you'll walk out.

Consumer Reviews
by SC300 from Washington, DC | July 8, 2012
BEST CAR for the value. Extremely well balanced car with a reliable track record. Well known as a JDM drift car. Some manual versions came with a limited slip differential. Very good fuel economy on the Inline 6 models and the 2JZGE engines are extremely well designed and performance oriented. Currently have over 250,000 miles on mine and it's still running strong. Try one and you'll never want to give it up. Happy Driving...

True Love
by Yeolus from Tucson, AZ | December 6, 2011
I love this car - it appeared in a dream & i found it next day as it just posted in ad from Colo. Superb cond. - only 35K mi. for a '95! Just a few small scars as it's a 16 yr. old car. I personally did much of the cosmetic work, then had window tinting, new tires, fluids & belts replaced. Lexus has a rep for top build quality & the SC's had the best build quality in the Lexus line. Originally a $50K car, for under $12K with all the above done. 'Am very grateful! It would be nice if mpg was better - not great for a 6-cyl. & requires higher grade gas. Better A/T gearing would have helped. Fortunately, i don't put high mileage on my cars these days. Very sure handling, very smooth, luxurious ride. The V8 version has a bit more punch, but i love the smoothness & reliability of a fine I-6. It will cruise all day at 80 mph without a burp. Dislikes: the extra weight of all the luxury components, worn-out trunk lid struts. Likes / Loves: Sleek styling (many consider the early SC's as the most beautiful Lexus' ever built), top build quality that u can feel, white pearl paint, good leather (with a little leather conditioner), great sound system w/ 7 speakers, a big smile to drive. - Many used ones have well over 100K on the odo. These are high-mileage cars & should last a very long time w/ decent care. - Highly recommended!

Best Car I've Ever Owned!
by Lexus for Life from | January 24, 2010
My mom has owned/driven Lexus for ~15 years now & told me once I owned one I would never own anything else. After purchasing a used SC300 I must agree... This car is a jewel. Excellent handling. Superb luxury. I purchased a newer model, but keep this one around because it's just too good to let go. If ever you find one with that's been well kept, I suggest you grab it. You cant go wrong.

Beauty, Performance, Reliability - Great Car!
by Frisco Private Eye from San Francisco, California | January 7, 2008
For the past seven years, I have owned the rare five-speed manual transmission version of this exceptional car, a combination which results in weight savings that improve handling, performance, and gas mileage over the automatic version (and particularly over the SC 400 V8). This is the most beautiful design ever produced by LEXUS — but its beauty is more than skin deep. The car combines exceptional braking and handling with a very comfortable, compliant ride — a true GT car, especially a pleasure on long journeys. It is absolutely reliable: nothing ever goes wrong, everything is built to the highest standards. The sound system — particularly the premium Nakamichi with subwoofer and 12 cd changer in the trunk — is truly exceptional. Caveats: trunk is modest in size, particularly given the size of the car; it is fine for two people who pack carefully, but this is a car that would have benefited from a fold-down rear seat back. The power steering is precise but typical over-assisted TOYOTA. The rear seat is comfortable, even for adults, but a bit claustrophobic for long journeys. The engine's torque is good but not exceptional at lower rpms (below 3000); if it is brisk acceleration and performance you want, keep the revs up in the 3500 to 5000 rpm range. Don't worry, this engine loves to run. I drive the car vigorously, and get 19 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the road. Summary: this is the equivalent of the highly regarded TOYOTA SUPRA in performance and handling (which should be no surprise since the SC 300 and the SUPRA share power trains, suspensions, and brakes — and people have been known to bolt on the SUPRA turbocharger for an additional hundred horses), but a LEXUS in its luxurious interior, comfortable ride and beautiful design.

UNESCO Co-organizes Conference on Oceans and Climate Change
3 September 2010: The International Ocean Institute (IOI), the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the State Oceanic Administration of the People's Republic of China co-organized the Pacem in Maribus XXXIII International Conference on Oceans, which took place from 2-4 September 2010, in Beijing, China, under the theme "Oceans, Climate Change and Sustainable Development: Challenges to Oceans and Coastal Cities."
The Conference celebrated the 50th anniversary of the IOC. During the conference, Patricia O'Brien, Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs, delivered a message on behalf of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, underlining the importance of the marine environment to human well-being, adding that its role in regulating the global climate is "perhaps the most significant." She drew attention to the vulnerability of coastal communities to climate change, in particular people living in small island developing States (SIDS). She underscored the importance of halting the decline of coastal ecosystems in order to mitigate the effects of climate change. [UN Secretary-General's Statement] [Conference Announcement]

A consortium of researchers identified a genetic variant that improves survival of individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Reporting in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they say that a variant in the KIFAP3 gene was associated with an increase in survival time of 40% to 50%.
Because survival with ALS is normally only three to five years, patients with the KIFAP3 gene variant experience a substantial improvement, according to the investigators. In fact, the impact of this genetic variant is comparable to the effect of the only FDA-approved ALS drug, Rilutek from sanofi-aventis, they add.
The group, which included scientists from the U.S., Mexico, Israel, and Europe examined more than 300,000 genetic variants in over 1,800 people with ALS and nearly 2,200 unaffected controls.
While it's still unclear how the KIFAP3 gene variant alters the progression of ALS, the researchers know that it is involved with a number of cellular processes including the transport of essential molecules throughout the nerve cell.
"The favorable gene variant decreases levels of a motor protein complex in nerves," explains John Landers, Ph.D., associate professor of neurology and one of the study leaders. "This complex transports substances through different parts of nerve cells."
"This report is the first to describe genetic factors that determine rate of progression in ALS," states Robert Brown, M.D., D.Phil., chair and professor of neurology at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, who co-led the research.
In 1993 a team of researchers led by Dr. Brown reportedly discovered the first gene linked to familial ALS, a protein antioxidant known as superoxide dismutase, or SOD1. Earlier this year, Dr. Brown and his colleagues discovered a mutation in the FUS/TLS gene which is estimated to account for 5% of inherited ALS cases. There are only four known genes that, when mutated, cause familial ALS.

It's Easy to be Awed - and Humbled - by Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush
Just getting a chance to test your golf game at the famed Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland is a once-in-a-lifetime thrill. Now imagine playing the course under championship conditions, and with a gallery of more than 15,000 fans watching your every waggle, drive and tenuous putt.
No. 5 Green at Royal Portrush GC's Dunluce Links
Such was my "honor" last summer when I was among the fortunate few to participate in the pro-am portion of the 2012 Irish Open at Royal Portrush. It is a round that I can replay shot by shot in my mind even now, seven months removed from that June afternoon.
Most golfers know at least a little about Royal Portrush from the spotlight it has received due to the success of three of its members, chaps named Rory McElroy, Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke, major champions all. The 36-hole club has two links courses, Dunluce Links and Valley Links.
Dunluce Links is the only course in Ireland to have hosted the British Open (in 1951), and a great push is underway by the movers and shakers in Northern Ireland to have it return to Royal Portrush.
My visit coincided with the first time a European Tour event had been played in Northern Ireland and the first time since 1953 that the Irish Open was played in the country; it last took place at Royal Portrush in 1947.
No. 8 at Royal Portrush GC's Dunluce Links
The overflow galleries all four days of the tournament (as well as the 15,000-plus for the pro-am) and the slam-bang job done by the club for the 2012 Irish Open have assured Royal Portrush officials that the club is on the short list to host a future British Open.
Dunluce Links, a masterpiece of golf course architecture by the legendary Harry S. Colt, is ranked among the world's greatest courses. Lined with treacherous out-of-bounds and thick rough, its holes end at some of the most challenging greens anywhere.
Colt used the natural contours and dunes to create a links that attracts the best players - pros and amateurs - around the world. The terrain, combined with the always unpredictable weather of a site along the North Atlantic, asks golfers for the best he or she has and an ability to rebound when the wheels fall off during a round, which they invariably will.
Located on a particularly beautiful stretch of the North Antrim Causeway Coast, Dunluce Links is constructed on an area of natural dunelands with limestone cliffs on its eastern side. Occupying a triangle of giant sand hills, the place offers distant western views of the hills of Donegal, with the Isle of Islay, the Southern Hebrides and, on a really clear day, the coast of Scotland up north.
The 2nd Green at Dunluce Links
Dunluce Links is just down the coast from the ruins of the 13th-century Dunluce Castle, for which the course is named. Royal Portrush Golf Club was founded in 1888 as "The County Club" and became "The Royal County Club" in 1892 under the patronage of the Duke of York. It received its "Royal" moniker in 1895 under the patronage of the Prince of Wales.
So Many Great Holes
Colt designed Dunluce Links in 1929 and renovated it in 1947 in preparation for the 1951 Open. There have been championship tees built over the past few years to bring its length up to modern professional standards, with changes also made to a dozen holes over the decades.
Dunluce Links now plays at an all-you-can-handle-and-more 7,143 yards. Strangely enough, it has two par-5s (the 475-yard ninth and 478-yard 10th) that play shorter than two par-4s (the 479-yard fourth and 484-yard 18th).
The 11th Hole at Dunluce Links is Called 'Feather Bed
The course occupies rugged links land and involves frequent changes of directions and elevations. The property consists of parallel sets of dune. Little fairway bunkering was needed as Colt utilized the curvature of the fairways between the dunes to put accuracy off the tee at a premium. From the second through the 16th, all the two- and three-shot holes bend one way or another.
Off the tee, miss-hit balls plunge into thick fairway-side grasses. Because the dunes sit mostly back from fairways and the terrain doesn't appear too intimidating, the landing areas are smaller than one might think. Shots routinely bounce unpredictably off these mounded surfaces, and the deep rough is punishing.
Gary McNeill, the Irish Amateur champion in 1991 before he turned pro in 1993, is the head professional at Royal Portrush. "The Dunluce Links course will test every club in your bag, and each hole will present you with its own unique challenges," says McNeill. "It remains the fairest links I have ever played. Sacrificing a little distance for accuracy, particularly if the wind blows, will give you every chance of playing to your handicap. That is, if you can keep your eyes off the majestic scenery."
The 13th Green at Dunluce Links
There are so many holes that are so strong it's tough to highlight just a few. The opener, a 416-yard par-4, epitomizes the Dunluce Links' experience. Off a slightly raised tee, the tee ball must find the fairway between out-of-bounds on both sides and the approach must avoid a terrifyingly deep bunker at the green's front-left.
The 479-yard par-4 fourth pushes uphill off the tee past OB right and thick rough left. There are several bunkers in the wavy fairway and the putting surface is partially hidden behind two small knolls.
Dunluce Links' fifth is widely considered one of the most stunning par-4s in all of golf. Playing at a manageable 411 yards, the hole involves a drive that can be played over a series of mounds at the elbow of the dogleg-right. It has no bunkers, but the heaving green perches on the edge of a steep declivity above the beach (don't be long). After putting out, stop and enjoy the stunning views towards Dunluce Castle and wave at the surfers braving the swells below.
'White Rocks' - No. 5 Green at Dunluce - as Seen from the Beach
No. 14 is called "Calamity Corner" and for good reason. Stretching 210 yards uphill and usually into the wind, this is one of the meanest par-3s anywhere. Between the tee and green lurk a yawning chasm and no bailout area. Mounds and hollows back and left of the green await the overaggressive. It's hard to describe the feeling as you stand on this tee, knowing it will take a fantastic shot to hit the small target on the far side of the void.
A poor drive to the right of the optimal landing area at the 581-yard par-5 17th will bring the 20-foot-deep "Big Nellie" bunker into play, so attack this hole with a shot down the left. The approach must avoid six smaller bunkers.
The 484-yard par-4 closer always plays longer than it looks from the fairway and can be easy (with the wind behind you) or hard (into a facing wind). The breezes changed direction several times each day at the 2012 Irish Open, making this hole about a stroke harder when going into the headwind. Colt's 11 bunkers (nearly 20 percent of the bunkers on the entire course!) make the finishing hole a real bear.
Dunluce Links is ranked No. 4 by Golf World in its list of "The 100 Greatest Courses in the British Isles," and Golf Magazine puts it at 12th in their "Top 100 Courses in the World." Golf Digest considers it the fourth-best course outside the U.S.
Skilled golfers relish the chance to not only control the flight of the ball but also shape it either way off the tee, depending on the route of the hole and the day's wind. Royal Portrush's Dunluce Links offers such challenges in spades, and is one of the world's truly great golf courses.

Increased need for immigration of foreign workers to Australia
Australia, 14th December: Australia needs immigration of foreign workers in order to raise the productivity of the nation through big infrastructure projects.
This has been stated by Peter McDonald, a leading demographer of Australia.
There is an increased need for considering outsourcing of big infrastructure projects in the nation to foreign workers keeping in mind the high cost of getting the work done through Australian workforce. What he seems to suggest is that immigrant workers should be hired for work at major projects at comparatively lower wages than the domestic Australians.
Professor McDonald, who is also the director of the Australian Demographic and Social Research Institute at the Australian National University, stated that the Australian government must be ready to outsource public projects including major city transport construction projects, ports and interstate rail to global tender and allow the successful bidder to employ their own workforce for doing the job.
However, McDonald asserted on restricting such outsourcing to discrete huge projects only where the quality of the work will be checked by Australian engineers and will be in accordance with the occupational health as well as safety standards of the nation.
He clarified that in case the government does not open up on outsourcing major infrastructure projects, it will be very difficult for such projects to happen primarily due to high costs of labor in Australia.
While referring to the lack of urban transit systems in major Australian cities like Sydney and Melbourne, McDonald said that a two-lane freeway is not there between these two cities and this is what makes Australia a developing nation, and not a developed one.
He accepted the fact that such an idea to get the work on infrastructure projects in Australia through outsourcing will be resisted by unions in the nation, however, he stated that onus lies on the Australian government to give priority to higher productivity especially the nation will see restricted economic growth in the wake of aging workforce in the coming years.
According to a renowned Australian publication, there has been a decline in the overseas migration by 25 percent to bring the figures down to 241,400 in the year 2010 to March after touching a record high in the year 2008. And this decline can be attributed to strict Australian student visa norms, tough competition from the UK and the US for intake of overseas students and changes in the criteria for general skilled immigration program of Australia.

All to play for still in quest for top flight
Click here for exclusive match highlights from every day's play, latest scores, reports, news and interviews during the LV= County Championship campaign
The three-way LV= County Championship promotion race is still wide open after day one of the last round of 2012 games.
Division Two leaders Derbyshire were initially held up by James Vince's first championship hundred of the season, but gained the three bonus points they needed to ensure victory over Hampshire at the County Ground will send them up.
Once the hosts won the toss, Tony Palladino left Hampshire 26 for three but Vince shared 136 for the fifth wicket with Sean Ervine, who contributed 61. Vince went on to 114 in a total of 272, which the hosts replied to uncertainly with 50 for three.
Yorkshire - who trailed Derbyshire by a point - prevented Hampshire going up with their first bonus point and they gained a second in reaching 284 for eight by stumps.
The White Rose won the toss against Essex and Adam Lyth's smooth 67 helped them recover from the loss of Joe Root for nought to Graham Napier, who also snared Lyth and Phil Jaques for 38.
Yorkshire stumbled to 166 for six but Azeem Rafiq's unbeaten 49 lifted them out of trouble.
Jim Allenby's unbeaten century frustrated third-place Kent, who began the day six points behind Derbyshire, as Glamorgan posted 334 for eight at the SWALEC Stadium.
The bottom-placed side were put in, but Will Bragg and Stewart Walters struck fifties before Allenby took control with 100 not out.
The visitors at least collected two bonus points thanks in part to three wicket for James Tredwell.
Opener Greg Smith remained at the crease as Leicestershire looked to end the season on a high at Grace Road.
Gloucestershire - who are directly above their opponents in the table - were all out for 234, with Hamish Marshall and Ian Cockbain piecing together a 96-run stand for the fifth wicket.
Will Gidman trapped Michael Thornely, who failed to score, and Matthew Boyce in front, but Smith stemmed the tide somewhat with an unbeaten 47 as the hosts finished on 94 for three, still 140 runs behind.
In Division One, Abdur Rehman's nine wickets ensured Somerset made a strong start at Taunton in their bid to leapfrog Middlesex into second place.
Worcestershire - who have already been consigned to relegation - were taken apart by spinner Rehman in being dismissed for 212 before captain Marcus Trescothick and Arul Suppiah, on 66 and 73 respectively, guided the hosts to 142 without loss.
Somerset began the day eight points behind Middlesex and just one clear of third-placed Sussex, who were indebted to Steve Magoffin's three dismissals at the Emirates Durham ICG.
Durham enjoyed a fruitful first morning, reducing Sussex to 67 for five before Kirk Wernars and Ben Brown put on 106 for the sixth wicket to help their side reach 211 all out.
The hosts ended the day on 199 for five after Magoffin had sent back Michael Richardson, Ben Stokes and Dale Benkenstein within the first 15 overs.
Champions Warwickshire showed little sign of easing off the gas in their final contest with Nottinghamshire.
Jim Troughton's side, who will aim for a domestic double when they face Hampshire in the Clydesdale Bank 40 final at Lord's this Saturday, put Notts in and showed it was a good toss to win as the hosts lasted less than 50 overs before being skittled out for 155.
Chris Wright took 4-28 while Keith Barker and England's Chris Woakes also chipped in with a couple of wickets apiece.
However, Nottinghamshire fought back in the afternoon as Andy Carter claimed 3-35 with the champions 16 runs behind and six wickets down at stumps.
There was no play on the opening day at Aigburth, where Lancashire are hosting Surrey, the side who secured Division One survival at the Red Rose's expense last week.

Oxygen is a necessary nutrient for proper yeast growth. Yeast requires oxygen for unsaturated fatty acid (sterol) synthesis in the cell membrane. Sterols are lipids that help yeast membranes maintain fluidity and functionality as well as to deal with ethanol stress. Sterols are only synthesized while oxygen is present during the early stages of fermentation. Once fermentation commences, the initial level of sterols produced must be adequate for all subsequent yeast growth. Sterol content becomes a limiting factor to yeast growth.
Yeast typically require 8 to 16 ppm of oxygen. Oxygen is typically dissolved into the must during crushing/destemming and then during pump-over/punching down for red wines fermented on skins. The most that atmospheric oxygen can provide to must is about 8 ppm. For this reason, it may be necessary to rack the wine or pump-over shortly after inoculation.
Pure oxygen can also be used to provide adequate oxygen in the must. Oxygen can be injected using a scintered stone. It is important to note that too much oxygen can be added using pure oxygen. Up to 40 ppm can be achieved with pure oxygen, but it is best to keep the dissolved oxygen levels below 20 ppm.
High sugar levels and high must temperatures both make it more difficult to dissolve oxygen into must. For high sugar musts or musts that have high temperatures, additional oxygenation/aeration may be necessary.

Dan Rosen: Wings Prospects/Future Look "Amazing"
by IwoCPO on 08/10/12 at 02:35 PM ET
Comments (7)
About a week ago the gutter dwellers at Mile High Hockey had this to say about the Wings:
We often joke about how old this team is, but when you sit down and really look at it, it's worse than you could imagine. The core is sparse, and largely on the downside of their careers. Worse yet, there's nothing back down on the farm. In the next two years 18 contracts for NHL regulars will be up for renewal. The day of reckoning is finally here. Death's door is at most a season away.
Not sure if that was eighth grade "Andie" or the hyphenated guy, but wow…so much hate and hope mixed together.
Woops. Dan Rosen?
Working on Detroit's part of our 30-in-30 series, specifically the prospects part. The Wings have a good group, a lot of hope. It's amazing.
Looking forward to that Denver? How about this? Hockey's Future ranks the Wings, organizationally, at number 10. The Dive? 24.

Smith, Nyquist, Jurco, Tatar, Jarnkrok, Pulkkinen, Tvrdon, Sheahan, Sproul, Frk, Ouellet, Aubry, Mrazek…...
What team can compete with that group of players coming down the pipeline? I'm thinking the Wings of a few years from now has a chance to be even better than the teams we've gotten used to seeing every year. Jimmy Nill, you never let us down. And who are the highest picks of that bunch? Sheahan taken 21st overall and Smith taken 27th overall. Crazy.

Classic dive.
I was actually thinking we have a couple Stanley Cups coming once those kids start making the big club, Jurco, Frk, Pulkkinen, Jarnkrok, Sheahan, Mrazek and everyone else Brandon mentioned, most are only 1 to 3 years away, and our "old busted" vets will be Z and Pav. Then we have Nyquist and Smith already on the big club as transition guys. And a lot of our prospects are leaders in their league, on their team, in the position and have A LOT of tournament experience.
Our team looks absolutely SICK.. Capable of multiple cups

I love that it looks complicated or woven, but it actually comes together quite easily with strip piecing and no actual weaving. To my eye, the finished quilt is engaging and interesting. It looks quite handsome in "manly" fabrics, something my son appreciates.
The small quilt, which is a great crib size, can be completed in just a few hours. The large one will probably take you a few sessions.
The pattern is 10 pages that you look at on your computer screen or print at home. It includes yardage broken down by size of quilt and by color for easy shopping. A cutting chart organizes the project by size and color so you can easily do all of your cutting at once. The instructions walk you through the piecing and cutting with lots of illustrations to guide you.
I love my Warp and Weft quilts and I think you will too.

The Milwaukee County Zoo's beloved orangutan died of a tapeworm infection.
Mahal the orangutan was found dead in his exhibit in December.
He was 5 years old.
The zoo is working with a geneticist from University of Wisconsin-Madison to try to figure out what kind of tapeworm infection it was and how he got it.

Home-Style Beef-N-Noodles W/Mushrooms & Onions
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 2 hrs
Wish you could smell my kitchen right now, I'm dyin'! Made a huge pot of this for catering tomorrow. It's taking everything I've got not to just dive into the pot! This serves at least 10-12, but you can easily cut it in half, or freeze the leftovers for a rainy (or snowy!) day! I'm serving them this with my green beans w/bacon, onions and balsamic vinegar, homemade bread knots, and cherry pie a la mode! (I'll post my green bean recipe for you, too).
Ingredients Nutrition
- 7 1⁄2-8 lbs boneless beef chuck roast, cut into LARGE chunks bigger than bite-sized
- fresh coarse ground black pepper
- oil
- 1 (32 ounce) box beef broth
- 1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch sections and separated
- 1 (1 ounce) envelope French onion soup mix
- 1⁄4 cup A.1. Original Sauce
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 4 tablespoons butter
- salt, don't be shy with it
- 2 (8 ounce) containersfresh sliced mushrooms
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons cold water
- 2 (16 ounce) bagsreames home-style frozen egg noodles, cooked and drained
- Try to find two 4 lb. chuck roasts, and cut the excess slab of fat off the top. Cut into LARGE bite-sized pieces because beef shrinks when it cooks. You want to end up with nice big chunks! :).
- In large metal roaster that you can use on the stove, lightly brown meat on all sides over medium-high heat in a little oil. You may have to do this in frying pan(s).
- *Pepper beef lightly to liberally with coarse ground pepper as you add it to the roaster or frying pan. (Should take about 10 minutes.).
- When beef is lightly browned on the outside, add broth, onion, soup mix, A-1, garlic, butter and a nice amount of salt. Add salt a 1/2 teaspoons at a time so you don't over do it.
- Bring to a boil, cover with lid, turn down heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
- Stir occasionally.
- Add mushrooms, recover, and simmer 15-20 minutes longer.
- Remove lid.
- Mix cornstarch and cold water, add, stirring. Simmer, stirring only occasionally, for another 5 minutes til thickened a bit.
- Fold in cooked, drained noodles.
- Serve with warm crusty bread and butter, and a side vegetable such as green beans, or salad.
- *You can add another 1/2 to 1 bag more cooked noodles if you want to stretch this out. I make it hearty, full of lots of meat, though; when it's being considered as a "main dish".
- If you stretch it out though, you may need to add a cup or so of beef bouillon. Just see what you end up with, add as needed.
- ***! This last time I made this, I added 1 tbsp horseradish and 1 tbsp spicy brown mustard to the pot while the beef was simmering. It was EVEN BETTER! *Don't worry, it doesn't taste like you added it, it just added more flavor and totally mellowed out especially after the noodles were added and sat on LOW HEAT for about another hour or so.I took this to my sister's Christmas party and everyone loved it! People even asked for the recipe. :) (I should have thought of it before, because that's how I make my pot roast anyways! :) And NO ONE knows it's in there!) *I used (about)6 1/2 lbs. beef, 2 1/2 bags noodles and added an extra 3 tbsp butter because I thought I had added a bit too much salt. It was really good! Hope ya try it! :).
Most Helpful
This is an awesome recipe! I've made this a few times now w/the mustard and horseradish and adjusted to less meat (so, less broth, onion soup mix, salt...still used the same amount of A1, onion and garlic) Do be careful with the salt...I used the beef broth paste one time and it was over the top salty (and I love my salt). My picky brother even liked it and and told our mom to get the recipe so she could make it for him! Oh, and I've made it with cooked dry pasta and it came out just as yummy, as well as white rice, brown rice, etc. Trying with quinoa tonight.
This was VERY, VERY good. I was afraid my picky husband wasn't going to like it, but to my amazement, he went back for seconds! I can't begin to tell you how rare that is! I made it as directed, adding in the mustard and horseradish. The only thing I did differently, was towards the very end of cooking, I tasted the gravy, and it did seem a bit too salty, so I stirred in about a tablespoon of tomato paste, and it mellowed it right out. GREAT comfort food recipe!
I took a couple of liberties in the preparation steps. I cut the recipe back to two servings- I bought strip loin steaks (on sale) for another recipe and they were too large so I cut a strip off two and used that for the meat in this recipe. It was a tender cut so did not require cooking as long even though the simmering does enfuse flavor. I browned the onions first, added the mushrooms sauteed for 5 minutes then added Soup mix (1 tbsp), A! sauce (1 tbsp), 1 large garlic clove smashed, 1/4 cup beef broth. Simmered 2 minutes and set aside. Then I browned the steak pieces - fried for apprx 4 minutes added the Onion/Mushroom mixture back to the pan to reheat apprx 2 minutes.Added the noodles & served The aroma was heaven and so was the meal. Thanks Wildflour for a delicious comfort food dinner

Former Wayne County Sheriff's Office Capt. Leroy Locklair was the first black deputy in the county, starting in 1966. He says the most important part of being a law enforcement officer is the ability to get along with people.
Leroy Locklair doesn't see himself as a part of black history. But as the first black deputy in the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, he led the way for other black officers on the force. "I'm just proud that I'm...

Strategies for selection of lead biopharmaceuticals with enhanced manufacturability and development of production cell lines that can be used throughout development improve process economics. However, the pressure to initiate first-in-human trials drives companies to implement discovery, cell line development, and platform manufacturing approaches that enable faster entry into the clinic. These sub-optimal approaches force companies to introduce new cell lines or processes later in development and incur risks of comparability failure, timeline impact, or other delays in the program. The recent FDA Phase I guidance appears to reduce early development and manufacturing requirements, but the impact of following a sub-optimal path in early development may have a significant impact on later development, scalability, comparability, and process economics, which must be considered when deciding how to initiate a new development program.

Free seminar explores options to expand Logix systems
Opto 22 has extended its series of free technical seminars that explain the options they have for maintaining or expanding Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley Logix systems.
Opto 22 makes SNAP I/O, an Ethernet-based input/output system for remote or distributed control systems. SNAP I/O integrates into Allen-Bradley ControlLogix and CompactLogix control system architectures natively, with no additional programming.
Seminar attendees will learn the scope and details of these capabilities and witness a live demonstration of SNAP I/O communicating with an Allen-Bradley CompactLogix programmable logic controller. The demonstration showcases distributed analog process control functions (including PID loop control, scaling, engineering unit conversion, and thermocouple linearization) being performed independently of the PLC. Discrete control capabilities will also be demonstrated.
The seminar series began in October of 2008, will continue throughout the U.S. with stops in Tampa, Nashville, Salt Lake City, Seattle, San Francisco, and other major cities. Dates and locations for "IO4AB" are available online . www.io4ab.com for more information.

The Medifast weight loss program is a great one for those that want to lose weight quickly through meal replacement.
While on the Medifast program, participants have five meals that are all prepared by Medifast, and in addition, one daily 'Lean & Green' meal. The Lean & Green meal consists of five to seven ounces of lean protein, three servings of vegetables, and up to two healthy fats, depending on your lean protein choices. Dieters can choose to have their Lean & Green meal at any point during the day and can also divide it up into two different portions and eat half of it at a time.
Some tips for choosing your lean portion of the meal include meats that are grilled, baked, broiled or poached – but nothing fried. Also strive to eat at least two servings of fish per week that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Some of the seven-ounce options for the lean portion of the meal include fish, shellfish, game meat, ground turkey or any other meat that is 98 percent lean, or meatless options like egg whites and egg beaters.

text: Donnie needs to first find a way to trade JJ's contract, and get us a center to back up Darko when Curry is gone. Then when he has the money, make a run at Sessions for a 5 mil/5 year deal. If Sessions declines (which is highly unlikely) then Felton would be the best point guard on the market IMO. So Sessions is a priority, Felton would be our back up plan... Any objections???

Tebow: 'Honor' To Play For Belichick
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Tim Tebow said Tuesday it was "an honor" to be able to play for Bill Belichick and learn from Tom Brady, saying he expects his time with the New England Patriots "to be a lot of fun."
As he was walking off the practice field, where he wore a red (non-contact) jersey and worked with the team's quarterbacks, Tebow made a short statement to the dozens of reporters waiting for him but did not take any questions.
"First and foremost, I just want to thank the Patriots for giving me an opportunity," he said. "I'm very thankful. It's such an honor to be a Patriot and play for coach [Bill] Belichick and coach [Josh] McDaniels, and learn under Tom [Brady] and be a part of this great franchise and very successful franchise. I found out first hand; lost to them several times.
"It's going to be a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to working hard every single day and getting a lot better and learning under some great people. That's all I got. Thank you all so much and God bless. I'm sure we'll be talking more soon."

There have been times that Suns coaches Alvin Gentry and Lindsey Hunter have sought more effort from players, but they never worried about seeking it from P.J. Tucker.
In his first season with the team, Tucker became an example of the type of hard-nosed effort that the Suns want to be their new image. Tucker's work to defend and grind during games does not always translate to box scores, but it did earn him the 11th annual Dan Majerle Hustle Award on Sunday night.
Majerle quit as the Suns assistant coach when he and lead assistant coach Elston Turner were passed over to make Hunter the player-development coach after Gentry's dismissal. Majerle since has landed the job to be head coach at Grand Canyon as that program makes the transition to Division I status.
Majerle did not attend Sunday's presentation because he is at the Final Four in Atlanta conducting interviews for his coaching staff. Majerle congratulated Tucker on a video that was shown in the arena on Sunday night.
"P.J. embodies the spirit of the Majerle Hustle Award, and I could not be more proud of him as this year's winner," Majerle said. "His dedication, hard work ethic and drive have led to his continued improvement throughout the season, and I know he will only get better and better."
The Suns assuredly will exercise their team option to bring Tucker back for next season at $884,293, a third-year veteran's minimum salary. For the award, the Suns will donate $9,000 to the charity of Tucker's choosing.
Hunter: Beasley better listen
After Friday night's loss, Suns forward Michael Beasley attributed the success of his 25-point game and fourth consecutive double-digit scoring game to how he stopped listening to people, including the coaches.
"I would consider the source — it's Mike," Hunter said Sunday. "I don't pay attention to Mike. All I know is he better listen to what he's supposed to be doing defensively or he won't play.
"For Mike to say he doesn't listen to us, we don't listen to Mike. It doesn't bother me. He better figure out how to guard people or he won't be playing."
Garrett's round trip
Suns rookie point guard Diante Garrett had a quick round trip to Southern California, but his stay back with the Suns will nearly be as short.
Garrett had to play in the regular-season finale Saturday night for the Bakersfield Jam, the Suns' D-League affiliate, in order to be eligible for its D-League first-round playoff series that opens Thursday at Austin.
Garrett made 11 of 17 shots, including three of five 3-pointers, in Saturday night's Bakersfield win to finish with a line of 32 points, six rebounds, six assists and eight turnovers.
Free throws
*Suns center Jermaine O'Neal was unavailable to play in Sunday night's game due to a bruised shin.
*Utah has a half-game lead and the tiebreak on the Lakers for the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot.
If the Lakers miss the playoffs, the Suns get the Lakers' draft lottery pick.
*Hunter, on Suns point guard Goran Dragic: "Goran has to run but sometimes he has to realize he is running by himself."
*Hunter, on how the Suns have made the NBA's second most turnovers over the past month: "The majority of them are trying to be too aggressive when we don't have to be."

What: Shares of Immunomedics (NASDAQ: IMMU ) , a clinical-stage developer of monoclonal antibodies to help treat cancer and autoimmune disorders, rose as much as 12% after announcing the receipt of a U.S. patent for its antibody-SN-38 conjugates.
So what: Immunomedics' patent covers its linking technology (the aforementioned antibody-drug conjugate) that allows a chemotherapy toxin to be piggybacked on an antibody and delivered directly to a targeted cancer cell where it's released when it comes into contact with that cancer cell. Currently, Immunomedics has two ADC's in development, IMMU-132 and IMMU-130, which are both in mid-stage clinical trials. Data from these trials is expected by the second-quarter. Immunomedics also announced a new patent with "additional claims for the labeling of peptides and protein, including antibodies that utilize F-18.
Now what: It's not too late to score one more win for Immunomedics in 2013! This patent issuance is important as it protects the company's proprietary ADC platform from competitors and could set up Immunomedics for a flurry of partnerships if these upcoming mid-stage trials prove successful. This is certainly an exciting name you'll want to keep an eye on in 2014.

A 6-year-old child crossing the street was hit by a truck Wednesday morning while getting ready to board a school bus, according to family members and the South Carolina Highway Patrol.
According to LCpl. Judd Jones, the child was trying to cross Highway 178 around 7:15 a.m. when the accident occurred.
Family members of the child, who identified the child as Zion Toland, say the boy and his brother were about to get on the school bus when Zion was struck by a black Dodge pick-up truck outside his grandfather's house.
"The child, he was crossing the street, the bus was making a u-turn, but the bus had no lights activated," said Jones.
The 51-year-old driver was not injured. There is no word on any charges against that person.
A representative with Orangeburg School District 5 confirmed Toland was a student at Dover Elementary School.
An investigation is ongoing and the Highway Patrol's MAIT is on the way to reconstruct the accident.

Welcome to K9BFF! Thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in rescue and adoption. Through no fault of their own, many dogs find themselves in shelters or with guardians who can no longer care for them. We believe each dog is special and deserves to be cherished and protected. We are dedicated to helping find these loyal companions a loving and permanent home, and a second chance at life.
We hope you will find your new canine best friend here. If we don't have the dog you're looking for, there are other rescue groups with whom we work and recommend (Helpful Info). Please NEVER purchase a pet from the internet or a pet store, as these dogs are born and bred in puppy mills where they live in horrible and unsanitary conditions, and often pass on genetic problems from generation to generation (Why Rescue?).
We also hope you'll find some useful information and answers to many of your questions. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance (Contact Us).
To adopt one of our dogs, the first step is to submit an Adoption Application (Adopt).
Our adoption fee is $250 for most dogs, which covers vet check (and treatment if necessary), age appropriate vaccinations, spay/neuter, heartworm check, microchip, and grooming; all of our dogs are de-wormed, de-flea'd, and come with a collar, leash, and ID tag.
If at any time (even if years have passed), for ANY reason, you can no longer care for and keep any animal adopted from K9BFF, please contact us and we will take the animal back.
When you adopt a rescue dog, you help to save two lives: the one you bring home and the one who takes its place.
Fluff your Fluff!
Bichons, poodles, and other little fluffies need to be groomed regularly. When not tended to, their hair grows long and becomes tangled and matted. The kindest thing we can do when we rescue a dog in this condition, is to shave it down. But in a matter of weeks, beautiful healthy hair grows back.
So, if you see a dog that's available and it's a little short on hair... know that it will be beautiful, soft and fluffy-haired soon, just like this little darling...
Shelter vs Rescue Fees
Shelters are government funded. This means that all expenses like vaccines, worming, flea prevention, and spay/neuter are paid for at a low cost by the government. When an animal at a shelter becomes ill, the only outcome is euthanasia. This is to prevent the spread of disease in the shelter. It's less costly to "get rid" of the animal than it is to treat it. The government simply does not allow the funding to treat all of the animals in need.
Rescues, on the other hand, take on the expense at full cost and don't euthanize just because a dog becomes ill. This is why most rescues go under within two years of opening. Rescues would never save an animal from euthanasia at the shelter simply to "put it down" because the cost of treatment was too high. Rescues endure very high medical bills in a very short amount of time. Adoption fees are the only source of income. That is why monetary donations are so very important (and tax-deductible).
Please continue to support your local rescue groups in the fight over abuse, neglect, and the euthanizing of adoptable animals.
Please sign our Guestbook...
To the world you are one person.
To a rescued animal you are the world.
