multiMAN developer DeanK has released InstallPKG, which replaces the stupid SingStar Icon on the XMB on newer Custom Firmwares (Rogero 4.30,…).
InstallPKG – SingStar XMB Replacement Installer by DeanK
System/Firmware Requirements:
– Any custom firmware (CFW) that has been affected by the undeletable SingStar XMB Icon (Rogero 4.30-rev. 2.03 CFW is known to be affected by this).
Removing The SingStar XMB Background Music/Image
If you dislike the SingStar XMB Background Image/Music, then you can delete the PIC1.PNG, PIC0.PNG and the SND0.AT3 files from the "/dev_hdd0/game/NPEA00374″ directory using mmOS (multiMAN's point-and-click file manager) in order to disable the background and music when the "* Install Package Files" XMB entry is selected in the XMB.
Ok, I was fooling around so here it is:
1) No need to download singstar or install it offline
2) Install this package
3) Done
installPKG [SingStar Replacement].pkg (254.08KB)
If you ever feel sad and want singstar back – just press [Triangle] and [Delete] the new [IPF] and XMB will bring SS back. You can also get rid of the standalone installPKG and you'll have a legitimate IPF now (using the ID of Singstar – so no worries there!)
Have in mind that this will behave almost like the original [* Install Package Files] and will stay on top of the list just under /app_home (thanks to the new PARAM.SFO field ITEM_PRIORITY).

East Asia : The Global-Regional Dynamic

This chapter argues that there are two ways of reframing the globalization of culture. The first follows the time-honored model, referred to here as 'the economics of foreign programmes'. The emphasis is on the sale of finished cultural goods and services in international markets. The second accounts more for intermediate inputs and the transfer of knowledge about formats, co-productions and franchises. Exploitation of the second model has allowed East Asia to expand its cultural economy, both regionally and internationally. The second model also lends itself to government intervention, not so much in terms of protectionism, but in industry facilitation that allows creative businesses to climb the value chain.

Repair and maintenance often play a role in the pavement selection process. Unfortunately, concrete is too often perceived in a negative light when it comes to repair and maintenance. The fact that these activities aren't needed for many years doesn't seem to offset the perceived disadvantage in ease of repair and time required to complete the work.
A public works or DOT official can reduce road closure time by considering three basic questions: What strength do I need? How do I get it? How do I measure it? The strength needed to open a road to traffic may be less than most engineers realize. There are also some aspects of a patch repair that need to be considered that would allow for faster opening. Then, once the opening strength is determined, a real-time, nondestructive test of that strength is essential.
What strength is really needed for opening? Most repair specifications are merely derivatives of those used for new pavement construction. They were developed before nondestructive testing was available and, therefore, needed to contain a great deal of conservation to account for the inability to make accurate measurements of the strength of the in-place pavement.
Opening strength is affected by a number of factors, including traffic and depth. With the exception of very high traffic locations with a high percentage of trucks, it will take many hours—if not days—to accumulate a large number of equivalent single-axle loads over the patch. By that time, the patch will have gained significantly more strength than at the time of opening.
Research has shown that 300 psi (flexure third-point loading) is sufficient for most pavement 10 inches or thicker. Others found that at 10 inches thick, 200 psi may be sufficient. The point is that 300 psi, depending on the conditions, may be sufficient to provide the strength needed to open the patch area to traffic.
Patches often fail for reasons other than lack of strength. Excessive shrinkage, cracking due to thermal differentials, or lack of sufficient curing are as common as low initial strength. Iowa State University's James Cable found in a 2004 study that conventional concrete can produce patches that give long life. A slower strength gain with conventional concrete avoids most of the problems mentioned above, thereby limiting the possible failure mechanisms, and actually increasing the life of most patches.
A key to durable patches may be providing extra depth. The in-place cost of replacing unsuitable material in the bottom of the patch is astronomical compared to the cost of a few extra inches of concrete. If a minimum patch depth of 10 inches is used, for example—regardless of the thickness of the existing pavement—the strength needed to open is greatly reduced.
Maturity testing is an accurate and real-time method to determine the strength gain. No beam or cylinder will exactly match the curing conditions in the patch in an efficient way for an along-the-side-of-the-road measurement of multiple patch type projects. Maturity testing measures the in-place strength development and allows you to watch the concrete get hard.
In summary, quick opening, durable concrete patches can be constructed with conventional concrete—using extra depth patches—at a lower-than-conventional opening strength, and through the use of maturity to monitor the strength gain.

Police shooting protest outside City Hall
(Cleveland) - About 2 dozen demonstrators held a protest on the steps of City Hall, to voice their displeasure with the charges issued in the police chase that left two unarmed suspects dead in a hail of gunfire.
The protesters were led by Art McCoy of Black on Black Crime. While happy that indictments were handed up by the Grand Jury, all, like Abdul Quawil believe the charges were far too light.
The protesters say they are not against the police department as a whole, just the officers who did not follow protocol, leading to the death of Melissa Williams and Timothy Russell.
Art McCoy
McCoy is also calling for the drug testing of all police officers. He contends, for cops to fire 137 shots at two unarmed suspects, and for one to jump onto the hood firing dozens of rounds, shows something is wrong with the department.
Others want Cleveland City Council to launch it's own investigation of the double fatal incident before lawmakers leave for their summer recess.

He led the nation to glory by winning the under-19 cricket world cup in Australia recently. Now, St Stephen's principal Valson Thampu hopes Unmukt Chand can do the same for his college.
Thampu expressed his wish on Tuesday during a ceremony to felicitate Chand, who is, incidentally, embroiled in a battle with Delhi University over attendance issues.
"We would like to see you play for the college as well. We all would like that," the principal said.
The under-19 cricket captain, meanwhile, played it safe and did not make any commitments. "I don't know what will happen next. I don't know if I will be able to attend college and maintain good attendance or if I will be able to take examinations in the next semester," Chand, who maintained that he is proud of being a Stephanian, said.
However, judging by Chand's schedule, playing for his college may be a tough task. "He is very busy. He will leave for Bangalore, then fly to New Zealand and South Africa," Thampu said.

Community Outreach through Microfinance
Alexander Howard, International Relations, A13
Gustav Vik, International Relations, A13
Working in Somerville, Community Outreach through Microfinance (COM) aims to enable people to overcome inequities in access to financial services. Offering creative lending solutions and financial literacy services, the program will empower the local community while teaching Tufts students about microfinance. Working with the city's sizable immigrants populations, COM will offer loans that build credit history while covering the cost of becoming a US citizen. These loans will be accompanied by comprehensive citizenship classes and financial coaching in order to assure the progress of borrowers.
Grassroots Education Impact Consulting
Lulu Cheng, F13
Jiefei Yuan, F13
A long-term education consulting initiative, the Grassroots Impact Consulting Project engages Fletcher student volunteers in on and off site consulting for education organizations working in developing countries. The initiative is supervised by Givology, a global education non-profit. For the 2011-2012 academic year, students will work with education organizations in Peru, Liberia, Kenya, Uganda and India. The project begins with orientation and training in November 2011 and officially launches in January 2012, when students travel abroad to work directly with partners in the field. Students will tackle capacity-building projects focused on education deliverables, such as program implementation, curriculum development and teacher training, as well as strategic planning initiatives with an emphasis on sustainable and equitable development. The consulting work continues throughout the course of the year, as students build relationships with their clients and gain a renewed understanding of the myriad challenges facing education leaders and planners.

Tufts University's chapter of Engineers Without Borders has been working in Uganda since the fall of 2009. Group members have traveled to Mbale, Uganda twice to engage with a local village called Shilongo. On the first trip, a large-scale assessment was done related to the community's water resources. During the second trip the group built a pump modification system and a clean water storage tank to address the community's greatest need: more accessible drinking water. The project is now exploring additional ways to improve the quality of life for the members of the Shilongo community. A small team from the larger group will travel to Shilongo in January 2012 for three main purposes: 1) to install a weather station that will collect data on wind, solar capacity and rainfall in the area; 2) to follow up on the implementation that was done last summer; and 3) to discuss with the community what issues will be addressed in the next implementation phase. Their work was recently featured on the Tufts home page.

The Tufts University Refugee Assistance Program (TURAP) provides a social support network of volunteers and mentors for recently resettled refugees in the greater Boston area. TURAP volunteers, organized into groups of three to five students, connect directly with refugees, positively affecting their ability to build new lives in the United States. In the process, Tufts students gain a meaningful personal experience. In addition to building relationships across cultures, volunteers assist refugee families with activities such as ESL training, job searches, social services registration, budgeting and household management and navigation of new surroundings. TURAP, in conjunction with other student organizations, also educates the broader Tufts community about topics related to refugees, human rights and immigration. Currently, 35 volunteers are matched with nine refugee individuals or families from countries such as Bhutan, Burma, Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, Iran, Iraq and Somalia.
Tufts Timmy Clean Water Initiative in Guatemala

Lucia Smith, Biology, A13
The Tufts Timmy Clean Water Initiative aims to reduce the prevalence of waterborne illness in La Victoria, a rural community in Guatemala. Due to a lack of clean, safe drinking water, residents must resort to using unpurified, unsanitary water. This unpurified water is susceptible to parasites and bacteria, and increases health risk for chronic diarrhea and other waterborne illnesses. In the past year, Tufts Timmy provided 31 water filters to trained community leaders, who then distributed the filters to high-risk families in La Victoria. The group now must measure the impact of these filters and work with community leaders to find a mechanism for long-term, sustainable change. To complement the clean water efforts, this effort is part of a larger initiative by other students and professionals to provide sustainable access to primary health care in rural villages in Guatemala. It is an effort to address the root causes of ill health in the communities that they serve, complementing and reinforcing their ongoing efforts to improve health in La Victoria.
Undergraduate Global Health Network: Global Health Lecture Series
Mary Bruynell, Community Health & French, A12
Dahlia Norry, History, A12
The Undergraduate Global Health Network will organize a Global Health Lecture Series for the 2011-2012 academic year. This event will increase awareness on Tufts campuses about global health issues while uniting existing global health student organizations. By consolidating advocacy events across global health student organizations, the event will encourage these student organizations to collaborate and work towards a common goal.
Vocational School Research and Pit Latrine Construction in Juampas, Haiti
Cassandra Barthelemy, Anthropology and Pre-Med, A12
Sarah Hartman, Anthropology & Community Health, A13
Tufts students, in collaboration with students from three other universities, will return to Juampas, Haiti in January 2012 to follow up on a needs assessment they performed last winter. The community identified a vocational school as its top priority, so the students plan to interview key informants to create a basis of knowledge that can be used to develop a vocational school curriculum. Additionally, the needs assessment revealed that proper sanitation is lacking for 30-60% of the community. To address this need, the group plans to begin construction of pit latrines in households that do not already have them. Students will work together with the board of Haitian Organization Program for Education and Health (HOPEH) to plan, implement, and evaluate these projects. The HOPEH board will hold community meetings to ensure their decisions continue to reflect the opinions of the area as a whole. Community participation in these projects is vital, as interventions will be more effective, sustainable and relevant to local needs if the community spearheads them.

Bruins draft a guy few have heard of
|06.30.13 at 9:44 pm ET
The Patriots are known for drafting players who aren't anywhere near the radar. When they drafted Rutgers safety Duron Harmon in the third round, Harmon's mother asked her son why the television channels didn't have clips of him.
The Bruins had one of those moments when they took a fellow named Anton Blidh in the sixth round. Blidh is a Swedish left wing, and upon his selection even the most knowledgeable of draft analysts were at a loss.
Not a Russian sleeper- Swedish one instead. Anton Bligh- sorry folks- I got nothing #snakeeyes
' Kirk Luedeke (@kluedeke29) July 1, 2013
It was tough to find much of anything about Blidh online, though he had 17 goals and 10 assists for 27 points in 43 games for Frolunda Jr. last season.

The silver box from Ernstl that sits on the back of the bike was very broken having served us brilliantly for many months as a very secure looking box. But all the rattling along for hours and hours had cracked it badly at the attachment points and after a few minutes of rain it would be full of water, which rarely seemed to dry out again, the smell was getting quite strong from the mould that was setting in to the chipboard hidden under the metallic foil and the foam lining was not pretty
We rode for a few hours before stopping for a little rest. The sky was perfectly clear and beautiful - the first time we have seen it so nice in Finland - but we were still wearing our supersuits for the cold - the dark night and damp air was mighty chilling. We lay on the ground in the rest stop and ate M&Ms while watching for shooting stars and these strange, incredibly bright white blazes that kept appearing in the sky.
After a while we continued riding and kept going until well after midnight. We found a perfect little hidden place down a forest track where we set up our tent. After a lazy start this morning we casually continued in the direction of Helsinki - having decide to head back to Austria via the Baltic States.
In Helsinki our incredible luck showed itself again
We stopped at a petrol station to refuel and after talking to a few people about the ferry decided to go to the terminal find out the times and cost, then go back out of the city to sleep and wait for the departure. Hopefully the next morning we could also find a camping shop with a waterproof bag.
Finding the docks was easy thanks to the directions of a man at the petrol station but then working out which lane to follow and where the ferry to Tallinn actually went from was almost impossible and very stressful. Finnish roadworks are ridiculously confusing, we have gotten lost about six times trying to find our way through sections of roadworks while in Finland. As we drove around we suddenly found ourselves funnelled into a check in, more and more cars were pulling in behind us and we were trapped in and feeling very panicked
But now after a two hour trip on a ridiculously bright and spotty painted ferry we are now in Estonia, camping in a little forest just out of the city. Having found this spot in the middle of the night which is sadly now dark at these hours, we're not quite sure if this is an appropriate spot to stop. We read that camping in the forest here is pretty tolerated so hopefully we won't be causing anyone any stress.

Just Like Grandma's - Only Better
December 12, 2012
Just like grandma's ---only better
Here we are at the peak of the holiday indulgence season! Every family has a list of "must haves"---that special dish that makes the holiday. The recipes have been passed down through the generations and are only prepared once a year. That's special, that's family. But what about the other holiday dishes—could we tweak those, just enough to make them a little healthier without sacrificing the taste? During the time between Thanksgiving and New Year 's Day, many people gain 5-7 pounds. It takes 3500 extra calories to gain one pound---that's just about 100 extra calories a day. It doesn't take much to get those 100 extra calories---2 pieces of candy, 4 chips, Ã?¼ cup of eggnog. Add to those innocent bites a few servings of those "special holiday must haves" and you could be well on your way to a significant weight gain. How can we avoid the pounds? One way is to alter your recipes to make them healthier. Here are a few basic techniques to revamp your favorite recipes:
For cookies and cakes: Use 1/2 cup sugar for each cup of flour.
For quick breads and muffins: Use 1 tablespoon sugar for each
cup of flour.
Vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg enhance flavor when sugar is
For cakes and quick breads: Use 2 tablespoons fat per cup of flour.
Note: It does not work well to substitute liquid oils for butter,
margarine or lard in baked goods. If you want to try to substitute
liquid oils for solid fats in baked goods replace every tablespoon of
solid fat with only 3/4 tablespoon of cooking oil.
Reduce salt by 1/2.
Flavor with herbs and spices instead of salt.
Note: Do not eliminate salt from yeast bread or roll recipes.
It is needed for texture and flavor.
Whole wheat flour – Replace from 1/4 to 1/2 of the all-purpose flour.
If a recipe calls for 3 cups of all-purpose flour, use 1 1/2 cups allpurpose
flour and 1 1/2 cups wheat flour.
Oat bran – Replace up to 1/4 of the all-purpose flour.
If a recipe calls for 3 cups all-purpose flour, use 3/4 cup bran and 2
1/4 cups all-purpose flour.
Try one of these formulas on a recipe at a time. You may find that you like the taste even better! Do not give in to the mindset that "because it's Christmas" we must use more butter and more sugar, ladle everything in rich sauce and eat until we slip into a coma. Eat well, be smart and enjoy the holidays with family and friends. Merry Christmas!

Bali: Unacceptable risk or neighbour in need?
Page Tools
SO WE have another Bali bombing. This is more than a tragedy. It was probably a preventable event.
First, the Indonesian justice system needs to gain a sense of proportion if it is really serious: 15 to 20 years for a couple of ecstasy tablets as compared with a smile and a relatively light sentence for terrorist conspiracies? Who are they frightened of most, and why?
Second, as much as I regret writing this because Indonesia needs all the encouragement it can get for national development including business and tourism unless it can get its house in order, why should visitors be prepared any longer to put themselves on the line with any confidence that they will be safe from highly capricious consequences?
We have some way to go yet in measuring where we stand in
relation to Indonesia and its legal systems and values. Yes, it's
nice to fantasise, but it's better to be real.
Andrew Farran (former first secretary, Australian embassy, Jakarta), South Yarra
WHEN walking down Bali's main strips, you would be forgiven for thinking that you had walked into Australia's seventh state. There are Australians at every corner. Australians have made such a large part of the Balinese economy depend on their tourism. So don't Australians have a form of moral obligation to keep travelling to Bali and Indonesia?
On the drug issue, is it not time that Australian tourists
realise that Indonesia has tough laws on drugs and stop taking
drugs in, around or out of Indonesia? If Australian tourists are so
hell-bent on taking drugs in a tropical environment, why don't they
try Darwin?
Martin Trembath, West BrunswickGERARD Kennedy ("Terrorists' paradise", Letters, 3/10), it is not Bali that has little respect for the sanctity of human life it is an incredibly small number of individuals. It has been well documented that condemnation of such hideous acts comes from all sides, among the loudest voices being the good and honest people of many Muslim communities worldwide.
Bali is an island of 2.5 million residents, most of whom rely heavily on our tourism for their livelihood. For Australians to categorically turn their backs on Bali would mean allowing one of our nearest neighbours to suffer en masse for the crimes of a very few.
It's a difficult call to make whether to return to Bali as a
holiday destination straight away, one that must be made by the
individual. But to make a blanket accusation against all Balinese
is punishing those who have committed no crime and whose
pain is infinitely more than ours right now.
Meg Tanti, Narre Warren SouthWE WENT to Bali last year for the 16th time. Yes, we love Bali, its gentle people and its colourful culture. We regard Bali as our second home, and we have Balinese friends there. But now we won't return there for a family celebration next year as planned. Bali is a paradise lost.
J. Seward, Mount Martha
How rational is our fear of terror?
IT IS not being politically blinkered, Michael J. Gamble (Letters, 3/10), to be aware of the real risks facing this country and frustrated by the fact that we seem unmoved by them.
The fact that yet another incident happens in a foreign country does not justify the costs monetary and social that the present hysteria over terrorism is asking us to pay in our daily lives.
The fact that someone else does it to us does not make a death in Bali from a bomb any more tragic than one locally from a road crash. These murders are hardly a real threat to national security, but the way we are responding to them could well be to our national detriment.
Is it heretical to suggest that, in terms of real priorities, threatened acts by individual criminals in Australia rate far lower than the threats to life and property posed by bushfire, water shortages, soil loss, salination, social inequity, road crashes etc?
If we put a fraction of the same energy and resources into dealing with those real and present threats, we might all be much better off.
More people die from road crashes each month in the US than were
killed by terrorist acts in September 2001. More Australians died
on the roads last week than were killed in Bali. Why not a war on
the road toll, if we are genuinely offended by random deaths of
Ray Brindle, Kyneton
Duty of care
THE Australian Government must take immediate steps to ensure that the nation's Muslim community is put at ease and is not made to feel alienated and frightened by the tragic events in Bali.
Equally, it is time for the Australian Government to reassess its position with regard to its commitment in Iraq, as well as to the sensitive issue of foreign aid to Indonesia.
May I remind John Howard that not only does democracy demand
equality before the law for its citizens, it demands that the
democratically elected government of the day takes every possible
step to ensure that its citizens are not subjected to violence
be it from within or, as in this instance, from abroad.
Gary Cockinaras, Glen Waverley
Say you were wrong
EACH time I hear of terrorist activities, I worry for the future of my children and my grandchildren. And each time I see or hear John Howard on TV or radio I think to myself: "What would it be like if you hadn't made Australia part of the 'Coalition of the Willing'?". If Mr Howard could just bring it upon himself to admit that it may have been a mistake to invade Iraq, perhaps my pain could be alleviated to some extent.
Jim Banks, Yarrawonga
Terrorist rationale
BY ATTACKING Bali, Islamist terrorists know they will scare off tourists. As a result, the local economy will surely fail and plunge the area into poverty and chaos. As we know from so many Arab countries, militant Islam thrives in areas with no money and no future and dies in areas of democracy and welfare.
It is for this reason that the terrorists will attack Western
targets in Bali. It has nothing to do with Iraq or any other
excuse, despite the attempt by some to suggest this latest act of
murder is somehow actually our fault.
Daniel Lewis, Rushcutters Bay, NSW
Beyond reason
IN HIS 1999 book The New Terrorism, historian Walter Laqueur delved into the motivation of terrorists throughout history, even presaging 9/11. One thing is clear from this study: there is no rational discourse to undertake with those espousing terrorism. Contrary to our hopes of assuaging the terrorists' "grievances", terrorism is an ideological extremism, uncompromising and out of reach. Polite discussion will not work. Do nothing or fight remain the options.
Paul Rozental, Melbourne
Please don't explain
DIANNE Wood (Letters, 3/10) should be ashamed of herself for implying the Australian Government was to blame for the Bali bombings. Innocent civilians were intentionally murdered by Islamist terrorists and they alone are responsible. How any decent human being can seek to explain away an atrocity such as the Bali bombings is beyond me.
Ian Fraser, Rockdale, NSW
TROY Cox (Letters, 3/10) misses the point. Nobody in their right mind would regard the blowing up of people as anything other than abhorrent except those doing the blowing up. Westerners blown up by Islamist fanatics rail against the Islamists, and Muslims blown up by Western fanatics rail against the Westerners. And life goes on.
What I completely fail to understand is this: how have
Australians come to expect that we can join a coalition, invade a
country, bomb its soldiers and civilians, plunge the place into
utter chaos for years and then get on with our lives
expecting that there will be no blowback whatsoever?
Greg Buck, Fitzroy
IT FRUSTRATES me to read about the latest Bali bombing and see it described as a "terrorist attack" and those who are responsible referred to as "attackers".
Let's call a spade a spade: these people are brutal murderers,
and what they perpetrate is mass murder. Let's start referring to
them as the criminals they are.
J. Gartshore, Macleod
ALL Australia feels compassion for the families who lost loved ones or had relatives injured by the ball bearings in the Bali bombs.
I hope all Australians feel compassion for the Iraqi children
killed by US cluster bombs that use the same methodology to kill
and maim through shrapnel. It's time the world outlawed all these
weapons of mass destruction.
Colin Hughes, Glen Forrest, WA
Bashir Down Under
ABU Bakar Bashir convicted for terrorist-related crimes and reported spiritual head of Jemaah Islamiah, responsible for the Bali murders came to Australia on many separate occasions over 12 years.
It's unlikely he came for the footy. Whom did he see? Should
these people be free to roam our streets and have unfettered access
to our public transport or should they be interned to
prevent a Bali on our soil?
George Finlay, Byron Bay, NSW
Population catches up with the west
NEWS that the West Gate Bridge has reached capacity ( The Age, 3/10) comes as no surprise to those of us who live in the emerging south-western suburbs, such as Point Cook, Werribee and Hoppers Crossing.
Affordable large blocks, quiet streets and close proximity to the city have attracted thousands of young professionals into the area in recent years. Unfortunately, public transport and highway capacities have failed to keep up with the enormous leap in population in the area. Trains are few and far between, guaranteeing a dangerous overflow during peak times, while the freeway is no better alternative because of the bumper-to-bumper conditions each day.
Instead of adding an additional bridge or tunnel into the city,
perhaps some effort could be spent looking after the public
transport needs of the tens of thousands of new residents in
suburbs between the West Gate Bridge and Geelong.
Chris Freeman, Point Cook
Back to the '60s
WITH talk of another road bridge across the Yarra, it becomes clear that our planners, State Government and Opposition still have their transport thinking stuck in the 1960s. How many times does it have to be spelt out: Building another road just results in more traffic. It's been the case with every freeway so far, the West Gate being a prime example.
If money is going to be spent on transport, it has to be spent
on moving people not cars around our cities more
efficiently. For the western suburbs, that means upgrading the
crowded and infrequent train services (mostly only every 20
minutes, even in peak hour) and providing direct, frequent buses
all day and evening to the suburbs that don't have trains.
Daniel Bowen, president, Public Transport Users Association, Melbourne
A cruel search for our brainiest kid
I WATCHED Sunday night's screening of Australia's Brainiest Kid on Channel Ten and am full of concern about the amount of stress and unnecessary pressure these young children are being put under.
The children are asked various questions to ultimately determine Australia's most intelligent child. The eliminatory process, however, induces feelings of failure that are hardly appropriate and potentially harmful in a child's most formative and sensitive years. At various times the cameras pan on to the parents' faces, where there is often a vicarious pride but at other times pure anger and frustration at their child's failure. One child was reduced to tears when he was eliminated and with the amount of bullying in today's schools, this brilliant child will have to live with the stigma of disappointment.
I simply cannot see the benefit of such an elitist
Daniel Gold, Caulfield
Stressing the bleeding obvious
THE fact that the State Government has spent nearly $5 million since June 2002 to compensate teachers on stress-related leave should come as no surprise. Researchers at Cardiff University figured that out five years ago, when they conducted studies of occupational stress and rated teaching the most stressful job. It should be mandatory to have a staff wellbeing co-ordinator in every school to give the issue a high profile and to remind staff of how to care for themselves.
Teachers and principals are notoriously bad at looking after
their own mental health. Both groups need to be encouraged to get
support early rather than wait until things go wrong.
Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, Balwyn
Gays, priests and pedophiles
MURIEL Porter seems to have pointedly ignored the most salient fact in her article "Priests pay the price" (Opinion, 3/10). Quite simply, most pedophiles are not of homosexual orientation. More importantly, a homosexual is simply one who is attracted to someone of the same sex, the way heterosexuals are attracted to someone of the opposite sex. To call a pedophile a homosexual is to give them a dignity they do not deserve and to insult homosexuals in a way they do not deserve.
The reason there are so many pedophiles in the priesthood is clearly that churches put adults in a position of power over children. Those who wish to assault children look for positions where they will have access to children, such as doctor, teacher and, of course, priest.
This does not mean that all doctors, teachers etc are pedophiles. What it does mean is that their interaction with children must be strictly monitored and supervised, and usually is. All priests, whatever their sexual orientation, must always be supervised and restricted in their interactions with our children.
Sadly, this will not stamp out child abuse because,
horrifyingly, the average profile of a pedophile seems to be that
of a married, heterosexual man with children. However, strictly
limiting and supervising the interactions of all priests with
children will limit the ways pedophiles can gain access to the most
vulnerable members of our society.
Alison Dennehy, Gold Coast, Queensland
JUDITH Pugh's account of an alleged telephone conversation with me on November 11, 1975 (Review, 24/9), is totally false. There was no such conversation. She telephoned me on November 12, 1975, to ask if Clifton Pugh could have another sitting with the Governor-General on November 13, "after which he would finish the portrait from memory". This after saying earlier that Sir John Kerr's portrait had been finished.
The so-called prescient sneer in the painting was in truth added
as an afterthought, after the event.
David Smith, Mawson, ACT
North of the border
HOW can Melbourne still claim to be the sporting capital of Australia? In the past two weeks, the AFL and Rugby League titles have both been won by Sydney teams. And the cricket super-Test is to be played at the SCG, while Melbourne gets the pyjama games. I won't mention the global stature of the 2000 Olympics versus the Commonwealth Games. Looks like another title has gone north.
Martin Lewis, Baulkham Hills, NSW
