It's trying keeping up with the Jones
HOLD THE BACK PAGE:AMERICAN ATHLETE Lolo Jones often finds herself at the centre of, well, heated debate, her detractors long arguing that she only receives the level of media attention she does – which is quite a bit – and sponsorship because she's a touch on the attractive side and is prepared to do just about anything for publicity.
Writing in the New York Times in August, Jere Longman let rip – in quite spectacular style, accusing Jones, a 60 and 100 metre hurdler, of engaging in "a cynical marketing strategy that is long on hyperbole and short on achievement".
"Jones has received far greater publicity than any other American track and field athlete competing in the London Games. This was based not on achievement but on her exotic beauty and on a sad and cynical marketing campaign," Longman wrote.
"Essentially, Jones has decided she will be whatever anyone wants her to be – vixen, virgin, victim — to draw attention to herself and the many products she endorses . . . she has played into the persistent, demeaning notion that women are worthy as athletes only if they have sex appeal. And, too often, the news media have played right along with her."
Jones, naturally enough, was horrified by the article, not least by the comparison with media darling Anna Kournikova, Janice Forsyth, the director of the International Centre for Olympic Studies at the University of Western Ontario, likening the media attention afforded the American with that given to the Russian tennis player, despite her relatively modest achievements.
"It's really a sad commentary on the industry Lolo is in," said Forsyth, perhaps with Jones's 2009 nude photo shoot for ESPN the Magazine in mind.
"Limited opportunities are there for women to gain a foothold unless they sell themselves as sex kittens or virgins for sale."
Jones took deep offence at the Kournikova business, in particular. "They didn't even do their research, calling me the Anna Kournikova of track," she said the day after she finished fourth in the 100 metre hurdles final at London 2012.
"I have the American record. I am the American record holder indoors, I have two world indoor titles. Just because I don't boast about these things, I don't think I should be ripped apart by media."
And any celebrating by her critics of her failure to win a medal in London was, she argued, a touch harsh in light of the fact she'd had spinal cord surgery and suffered two hamstring injuries in the previous year.
She did, though, concede that maybe she'd brought some of this unwanted attention on herself, like, for example, the time she shared just a little too much personal information with her Twitter followers by revealing her pledge that she would stay a virgin until marriage. "Maybe I should, like, zip it," she said.
And Twitter has, it must be said, played a not insignificant part in her difficulties.
Back in July, for example, she tweeted: "USA men's archery lost the gold medal to Italy but that's ok, we are Americans . . . When's da Gun shooting competition".
Harmless? Well, it might have been, entirely, except it came days after the Aurora, Colorado shootings when a gunman murdered 12 and wounded 57.
Jones, then, had a whole heap of explaining and apologising to do when the unfortunate timing of her tweet was pointed out to her. Well, she almost apologised: "sorry u guys only think of violence but I think of all the hunting I do w southerners in da south. Its impressive."
And this week? A chap by the name of Eric LeGrand challenged her on Twitter to a race.
"Get checked for a concussion," she replied, "Clearly, u've been hit in the head cos you arnt beating a track athlete."
The problem?
LeGrand is a former NFL player who was paralysed from the neck down after sustaining a spine injury in 2010 when playing for Rutgers, and is now a quadriplegic.
"Great, I'm, gonna get murdered for that tweet," she replied on being informed of LeGrand's story.
And was, though mercifully not literally.
She's hard not to like, but Lolo Jones can, on occasion, not help herself a great deal.
Heskey arrival Down Under completes the A-League of elderly gentleman
"A-League of extraordinary gentlemen," read the headline on a Sydney Morning Herald article this week as the paper built up to the start of the Australian football – as in soccer – season.
Beside the piece was a photo of "the big three, the holy trinity", Sydney FC's Alessandro Del Piero, Newcastle's Emile Heskey and Western Sydney's Shinji Ono, the league's "marquee" imports for the new campaign.
"They have sparked a level of excitement never before seen for the round-ball code in this country," said the paper.
"Chances are you've seen photos of all three in the past fortnight. Putting them together is an image set to go right around the world, and with it a declaration that Australia has aspirations of becoming a serious football country with a serious domestic competition."
The Australian was no less dizzy. "They are the Big Three – international players of such quality and reputation that they have sparked an unprecedented fan and media frenzy," they declared.
You do, of course, hate saying "huh?", but . . .
Del Piero: Once a legend, but, well, 38 next month.
Heskey: 35 in January, hasn't played for England since the 2010 World Cup, scored nine times for his last English club, Aston Villa, in 92 appearances, and was then released.
Ono: Now 33, left Bochum in Germany for Shimizu S-Pulse in 2010 because he wanted to team up with his wife and children in Japan. Left Japan last month for Sydney.
Combined ages, then, 106, if that's not a little ageist.
An A-League of elderly gentlemen just possibly, you know, past their best and looking for one last half-reasonable pay day? Strewth, never.
Australian Open proves recession proof
There was good news for professional tennis players this week with the announcement by the Australian Open organisers that they have increased prize money by AUS$4 million (€3.2 million) for the 2013 tournament to a record $31.1 million (€25 million), making it the biggest prize pool in the history of the game.
We have led the world in prize money for these incredible athletes and we want to ensure that the Australian Open continues to make a major contribution to the financial well being of professional tennis players, said Tennis Australia chief executive Steve Wood. The ATP's president Brad Drewett praised the increase. "We welcome the increase in prize money . . . and acknowledge the ongoing efforts of Tennis
Australia to recognise the role of the players in the success of the tournament.
Lower ranked players had threatened to boycott the event because they were only – only – being paid $20,800 for a first round defeat, arguing the cost of travelling hardly made it worth their while. It's a step forward, definitely, said defending men's champion Novak Djokovic.
Recession? Huh, what recession?
Gerrard brings his life to book – again
THE FINAL STRAW:Liverpool's website had an interview with Steven Gerrard this week about his newly-published book, the second autobiography in six years by the 32-year-old.
He admitted he thought long and hard about agreeing to do it because he didn't want to repeat what was in the first book, "I don't think it's fair for people to go out and buy stuff they've already read," he said.
His aim in this autobiography, it seems, was to be a little more straight-speaking, about both his career highs and lows in so far.
Granted, these books tend to be ghost written, but still, Gerard's revelation about his own autobiography left you kind of wondering how heavily involved he was: "I found it an interesting read – even though it's about myself."

Gallery 1988's Adult Swim Art Show Is As Awesome As It Sounds
As the record will show, checking out nifty art and watching cartoons are two of the things we love more than anything else here at ComicsAlliance. That's why we were pretty excited about the the Adult Swim themed art show at the pop culture themed Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles. With artists taking their inspiration from every Adult Swim show from Space Ghost Coast to Coast Venture Bros. to Delocated, the end results have been some pretty awesome twists on some of the best shows Cartoon Network's mature audiences block has to offer. Check out a sample of our favorites after the cut!"The Bat" by Olly Moss combines Hank Venture, The Dark Knight Returns, and the impending hilarity of an injury caused by jumping off the roof with an umbrella. It's a formula The Venture Bros. does to perfection:
If there was any justice at all in this crazy world of ours, "Doctor Orpheus" by Delicious Design League would replace those "Beer!" posters as the default in dorm room design:
"Dr. Steve Brule" by Bruce White has proven what I have always said: There is no room in this world that would not be improved by a velvet painting of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job's resident helpful news commentator:
"Brock, By Odin!" by Anne Benjamin has combined Brock Samson with Thor into some sort of ultimate killing machine, but from what I've seen of The Venture Bros., I'm pretty sure Mjolnir would just slow him down:
"The Life Aquatic With Hank Murphy" by Brandon Schaefer is a mashup concept that works perfectly, mostly because citing revenge as the scientific purpose of killing a shark is exactly the sort of thing Sealab 2021's Hank Murphy would do:
"Robot Chicken" by Jason Edmiston is another one that's just thematically perfect, to the point where doing the toy-based show's mascot in the style of a G.I. Joe action figure's packaging has made me want to buy an action figure that does not actually exist:
"Are You Getting Enough Oxygen" by Glen Brogan is one that I don't even have a joke for. It's just a beautiful tribute to one of my favorite shows:
"Choose Your Own Ad-Venture #13″ by Sean Dove is another product I would buy without question, and while it's hard to pick the best of the many great things about it, the fact that it inevitably ends in death is pretty fantastic:
"Brazil's Number One Board Game" by Fernando Reza lets you play God with a disturbingly naked Dr. Blake Downs from Children's Hospital:
"Sebben & Sebben 2012 Calendar" by Glen Brogan has combined my love of pin-ups, my need to know what day it is, and that wellspring of sympathy I have for Harvey Birdman's most underappreciated and inappropriately lusted-after sidekick:
"Black Hearts" by Kim Herbst isn't just piece of art, it's a personality test too! If your reaction to seeing it was to say "Wait, the Black Hearts were never actually part of the Guild of Calamitous Intent," then congratulations: You are nerdier than 21 and 24 combined:
"Brak! Issue 100″ by Veronica Fish features both Brak and my beloved Go-Go Checks. The Mona Lisa does not. I think you see what I'm getting at here:
To see more, and to get prints of the pieces as well, check out Gallery 1988's full listing for the show, and if you're in the LA area, head down there and have a look in person! The show runs until February 4!

Ratings for Dr. J. Michael Leary
I highly recommend Dr. Leary. I received several treatments from him to reduce the appearance of veins primarily on my hands, but also a few on my legs, and I was very pleased with the results. My main goal, however, was to increase the fluid in my aging hands to reduce to the appearance of skin and bones. Dr. Leary recommended the Allergen product, Voluma, to me, and I am very pleased with the results. I also and alsomy primarily for He treatedam very pleased withDr. Leary is
Dr. Leary did sclerotherapy to treat spider veins on my legs. I have been treated by numerous doctors prior to seeing Dr. Leary. I lost hope that my legs will ever look normal. What Dr. Leary did, exceeded all my expectation! The improvement is remarkable, I am very pleased with the results! Dr. Leary is a true expert in his field! I would very highly recommend Dr. Leary. Lora C, San Diego
Dr. Leary has treated my varicose veins over this last year. The treatments have changed my life! I used to never wear shorts or dresses (even in 100 degree weather), but now my legs look amazing and I have the confidence to "bare my legs to all!" He also gave me some fillers and botox to "refresh" my look. He is great with injections! Dr. Leary was very patient and explained everything well. He is definitely a doctor that makes you feel comfortable and cared for and not rushed out of the office like some doctor's offices. The staff was nice and my appointment was on time. I would highly recommend him to friends and family.
I used to have a big bulging vein on the back of my calf and a friend of mine told me about Dr. Leary and said I should have it checked out. I went for a consultation and Dr. Leary was very professional and honest. He recommended the laser procedure to close the vein down. The office staff was very pleasant and very upfront about all of the costs involved. The pain from the vein and the visibility of the vein is completely gone and I was very happy with the results. Dan C. Huntington Beach, CA
Three years ago I had a vein procedure called ELVT, which removes the greater saphenous vein. I was very nervous and unsure about this procedure being done. I asked a lot of questions and did some research. I came there in the first place because I had some varicose veins on the lower right ankle area that I didn't like. Dr. Leary said they should be removed because the vein wasn't working because of reflux the blood was going down but not back up the leg. He convinced me of this and said that my leg would be better and healthier than before. He said the other veins would take over and they were doing that now anyway. So I reluctantly and against my gut instinct had the procedure done. I later found out this procedure is not recommended for closing varicose veins in the lower calf. The procedure itself is very unpleasant with many injections and compression stocking that is hot and cut deeply into the back of leg and left ligature marks for many months after. Two weeks after the procedure my right foot was so swollen I could no longer wear shoes without a lot of discomfort and this has never gone away since. I either go barefoot, wear uggs, sandals or boots because any shoes I wear now is incredibly uncomfortable. Any other woman would have sued for this alone long ago had they been in my place. I also cannot wear my orthotics, which I had always worn because they won't fit in any shoe anymore with all the swelling. I'm probably the last woman to go to a place like this to begin with. Within the first year of the procedure I had other symptoms that have handicapped my life considerably. I have constant burning on the back of my right leg in the hamstring area and on the inside of my right thigh where the procedure was done. My entire leg has been swollen since and feels like the back of the leg will explode. I've had cramping, pain in the Achilles, heaviness and a loss of muscle control on the right leg. In short, I now have a clubfoot and a club leg that I feel I have to drag around instead of walking normally. If I had known that any of these permanent side effects had been possible, I never would have had this procedure done. Prior to coming to Dr. Leary, I was a very active and healthy person. I had achieved a second-degree black belt, played tennis every week, hiked, kayaked and exercised quite a bit. Now I've had to give up all of these activities. I should have gotten my third degree black belt this year but have had to give up martial arts all together. My profession as a park ranger also requires me to be very physically active. Now every day at work has been a struggle because my right leg is constantly bothering me. I have gone back to Dr. Leary three times since the procedure to see if any of this can be corrected. He barely said anything to me, did not read what I put on the form, just did the ultra sound and said that more veins needed to be closed. And of course I'd have to wear the horrible compression stocking again. He wasn't sympathetic or concerned about my well being as a patient at all. The swelling in my foot, which meant he had seen this before, didn't surprise him. He measured my legs before the procedure and they were both identical as they had been my entire life. Now my right leg is a 2 inches larger than the left because of all the swelling. I'm no longer able to sit, drive, walk, sleep or do anything without considerable discomfort in the right leg. It's pretty clear there was nothing wrong with my greater saphenous vein and now there is not enough blood going to the muscles, which are why they are tight, burning and cramping all the time. I have seen several other doctors for these problems. I've had tests done which don't show any nerve damage. Here as some comments from other doctors " You should not have had this done", this procedure is not for everyone and not done for women your age". "I wish they wouldn't be so cavalier about these things". " There procedures should not be done unless it's medically necessary, not for cosmetic reasons" "Most people are not bothered by varicose veins and live just fine with them". "I don't like the ELVT because it uses too much heat, it's not a procedure I would ever use" I was told by one doctor to try compression stocking which of course does not solve the problem and it's impossible with my profession because I'm outside in the heat. I've also tried physical therapy which I knew would not work, but these are the medical hoops you have to jump through. The physical therapist noted that my right leg and foot are swollen and don't any longer look like the left foot. They also noted that I no longer have the strength in my right leg as compared to the left even though the right side is my dominant side. They were never able to improve any of the symptoms with any physical therapy treatments. Because of the swelling on my right foot, I have greatly reduced mobility, which makes walking and driving a challenge.
I love this office I travel from the Westside , and we have tons to choose from, however I recommend Dr. Leary and his staff the do a superb job, I have had different types of treatments from my veins, botox, Matrix treatment on my face and neck and facials and every time I am done I am completely satisfied....
Dr. Leary is a fabulous person and doctor for the treatment of vein issues. He is an extremely dedicated doctor, and I would go to none else. I have been treated in his office several times for painful and unsightly veins in my legs and he does a fantastic job! His office location and staff are the best! Thank you Dr. Leary!
Excellent treatment of venous disease--deep and surface.
Great office great dr. Michael Leary. Thank you . I will recommend you to all ...
Dr. Leary is awesome! I had gone to another doctor about a year before seing Dr. Leary and never saw any improvement in my legs. After 2 treatments with Dr. Leary, my legs look so good! No more spider veins! Just keep in mind that you will most likely need more then one treatment and it takes time for the veins to disappear. Also, you may need to go back for touch ups once a year or every couple of years. Your veins will look worse before they disappear too! The actual procedure takes about 20 minutes and is virtually painless! I traveled from Claremont to Newport to have this procedure done and believe me, it was definitely worth it! Now that Summer is here, I can wear shorts again thanks to Dr. Leary :)!

Salman Khan is known for his romantic wooing characters in films. He has been cast with more than 20 leading ladies opposite him. Interestingly, Khan introduced two heroines who look like his ex-girlfriends. Now the audience waits for his next leading lady for his movie with filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya.
As the two get ready to team up, names of lot of leading actresses have cropped up opposite him, but no one has been finalised yet. The crew says that they have not finalised anything about the actress yet. Maybe, someone new or maybe not. However, there was a buzz that Salman will be seen romancing either Parineeti Chopra or Ileana DCruz in the upcoming venture.We have not finalised any leading lady opposite Salman yet. We might go with known faces or a fresh face but nothing is confirmed yet. Only Salman is on board, a source said. Rumours were also doing the rounds that the film will bring Salman and Katrina back on screen again. Even Anushka Sharmas name had come up. The yet to be titled film would mark the reunion of Salman and Barjatya after a gap of almost 14 years. The duo had last worked in 1999 family drama titled Hum Saath Saath Hain. The upcoming film will be a family drama with only one hero and heroine. The makers will start shooting for the film from June next year with the shooting taking place in Mumbai, Gujarat and Rajasthan.

The first thing that strikes you in a conversation with
This increasingly recognisable Mackenzie smile was visited this week on an audience of the most connected and powerful in Melbourne business. It announces a beguiling, intriguing and very individual leader of
That Andrew Mackenzie is not cut from any usual sort of managerial cloth seems to be a surprise to many. It shouldn't be. BHP Billiton's relatively short history, and the longer narrative that belongs to its constituent parts, is populated by figures of similarly intimidating intelligence and relentless will. The dual-listed giant's founding chief executives were a Harley-riding, guitar-picking child of New Mexico's nuclear age and a South African rocket scientist turned mining entrepreneur who was ultimately sacked because his terse brilliance left him in career-fatal conflict with his board.
And most recently Mackenzie inherited his chair at BHP from a vegetarian South African chemical engineer whose idiosyncrasies left him miscast both inside and outside the company.
While they share scientific disciplines and much more, Mackenzie is unquestionably a wholly different task to
Ultimately, Mackenzie might not be the first Scotsman to run the Global Australian, but he could well be the first free-market socialist to sustain the helm. Then again, that sort of political pigeonhole probably offers a view far too confined to capture the complexity of the Mackenzie proposition.
This week Mackenzie spoke of the need for "a new dialogue" on productivity. Back in May he talked to the AFR of the new for "a new compact " between business, government and their communities. He is patently a consensus sort of guy. And yet he has recast BHP's executive structure to recover power to the chief executive's office.
There is, of course, a clear business case for Mackenzie's laser-like approach on the detail of his business. The narrative here is becoming as familiar as Mackenzie's toothy grin. The prices boom is done, the investment boom is past maturity and output boom is the next big story.
The miners have invested billions on making themselves ready for this transition. Between 2008-12 BHP alone pumped $US66.5 billion ($73 billion) into growth projects and exploration. By the end of financial year '14 it is expecting to add another $US44 billion to that investment in extra capacity.
And from there the capital works program is expected to roll-off very sharply with shareholders likely to enjoy their fairest share of the boom time spoils since China's move into seaborne minerals and energy markets at the turn of the century .
The effect of all this capital commitment is that supply and demand can be expected to recover a more routine equilibrium. And whenever that happens across the resources sector, the big winners are the cheapest producers. So it is that BHP and its competitors have turned their laser-focus inwards. So it is that everyone but everyone is talking about productivity and Australia's pressing need to recover its a place at its leading edge.
And Mackenzie is no exception to this new rhetorical rule. Conquering the productivity challenge sits at the heart of pretty much all that he has done and plans to do at BHP.
Mind you, Mackenzie was gifted a company that was already comfortably ahead of the industry curve in recognising that the grip on cost management had slipped through the opening phase of the investment boom and in manufacturing and enforcing a strategy to recover ground lost to excessive haste.
As a result, when Mackenzie arrived talking about maintaining an "even more laser-like focus on costs", we wondered at his challenge of differentiation, what was going to be the singular stamp of the Mackenzie era? We should not have concerned ourselves. In each of three carefully targeted public orations he has given since inheriting the BHP wind, Mackenzie has announced that we will identify his difference by listening to what he says rather than watching what he does.
Mackenzie believes in the necessity of collective action by workers while acknowledging that direct and individual dialogue is one prerequisite of peak productivity.
Sustainable development
In his past business life Mackenzie was a board member of Demos, the left think-tank that helped describe Tony Blair's "Third Way". Mackenzie maintains no doubt over climate change and its human contribution to it and his advocacy of sustainable development is founded in personal philosophy more than commercial requirement.
Yet he refuses to accept any sort of dissonance between sustainable development and mining on a massive scale. Reflecting in May on the broader community value of BHP's big ore body strategy, Mackenzie told The Australian Financial Review:
"It actually make sense from the point of view of the world. If you can supply though mining the best ore bodies, and you work at making them more and more productive, then that has to be the first thing to do to make the most efficient and environmentally sustainable economic growth happen."
Two fascinating and instructive cornerstones of the Mackenzie dialectic are that there remains an awesome abundance of natural resources still hidden in the Earth's bounteous crust and that mining works as much for the greater good for the poor of our planet as it does for the more discrete benefit of the shareholders of BHP.
On Wednesday Mackenzie linked, with an ease born of long reflection, his informed but unusual belief in resources abundance to BHP's embrace of a new era of productivity. And then to the need for a future government to better align policies with our competitive challenge to ensure Australia retains choices over how it might exercise its wealth of minerals and energy.
"The Earth's crust holds an abundance of natural resources with hundreds of years of additional supply already identified," Mackenzie said. "And while there may be technical, political or community challenges to access some of these, the resources are there and in many more countries than the handful I mentioned.
"This abundance creates choice and geology is not the only factor. For a country to secure investment, it must create the conditions for the resources industry to prosper.
Not if but who
"The question is not if Asia's demand for commodities will be met but rather which countries will deliver the supply. Australia is in pole position to do so, with decades of mining experience, a highly skilled workforce, a track record of innovation, proximity to Asia and great geology and infrastructure. But these will not be enough.
"Industry and policymakers must now re-commit to Australia's future competitiveness to make sure Australia remains a supplier of choice and captures the substantial economic benefits available for current and future generations. So we must all get much sharper at productivity."
A similarly long and refined thread connects Mackenzie's ideas on the virtuous cycle of prosperity and peace that is born and sustained by an efficient, highly profitable resources sector.
"Resources are fundamental to Australia's relationship with Asia; a relationship that secures economic prosperity for both and provides new opportunities from agriculture to education to tourism, while promoting stability in Asia-Pacific," Mackenzie said on Wednesday.
It is interesting to assess the Mackenzie view of Asian prosperity in the light of China's continuing complaint, repeated in Melbourne on Thursday by a senior Chinese mining industry official, that global iron ore prices are too high.
Transparency is working
The way Mackenzie sees it, Asia generally and China specifically, has become more trusting of open markets and flexible pricing mechanism. "I think the relationships are much warmer now," he told me in May. "And I think, on the whole, particularly in China, there is an acceptance of the way the pricing and contracting is working that is actually greatly improving their security of supply."
Open trade has resulted in transparent markets that have generated price signals enough to trigger an appropriate supply-side response. The end result is a growing confidence in the proposition that market theory not only works but it does so more efficiently than might centrally managed economies.
"For all it might seem a bit of a bullshit statement, this industry is responding to a production challenge that will help transform the lives of hundreds of millions of people throughout our region and that is contributing to regional peace," Mackenzie said in May on his return from meetings with his Chinese customers.
"These are the kind of conversations I had with them. They need to restructure, they need to drive productivity just as we need to drive productivity.
"Because it is all about reducing the overall cost, from producing minerals to producing the product. And then it is about everyone along that chain getting a decent return from that. Then, with the absence of the tension of the past, you can actually start to collaborate a bit more. And that is an exciting prospect.
"Capitalism, for all its flaws, does create that responsive wave," he concluded. "And the only other place that happens is in our private lives, with our personal balance sheets. It is human endeavour at its best."

unashamed about his wealth—made from sweat not speculation, he claimed—he worked at leveraging fortune into celebrity.
But she squared her shoulders and stood up, straight and unashamed.
"Well, I'm not letting them starve," was the unashamed admission.
I am glad the time has come when we can sit as men and women and hear the truth and be unashamed.
She was the very dawn of life herself, untarnished, unfatigued, unashamed.
Shame spent itself and made us unashamed, so small a thing it seemed compared with satisfying love.

Ceredigion's local AM Elin Jones is spearheading renewed efforts to secure investment in sports facilities in the county. The Party of Wales AM met with Sarah Powell, chief executive of Sport Wales, at the National Assembly to discuss the need for sports facilities in mid-Wales, and particularly the proposals for a combined athletics and cycling facility.
Plans for a running track and velodrome in Aberystwyth were initially developed in 2012, by a consortium of local sports clubs and organisations. It received the backing of the County Council, but finance has been difficult to obtain, due to the Welsh Government's decision to redirect Regeneration Area funding to other projects, and the fact that Olympic Legacy money came largely in revenue, rather than capital, funding.
Elin Jones also raised the issue with the Minister for Culture and Sport.
Plaid Cymru AM for Ceredigion, Elin Jones said:
"I was pleased that senior executives of Sport Wales agreed that there was a need to develop sports facilities in central Wales. Too often, people have to travel long distances to venues. Aberystwyth is a strategic location, with the potential for new facilities to be shared by people right across the region, by amateur clubs, university students and others.
"The plans for a joint athletics and cycling facility are well-developed. They have the backing of the local authority, and a number of clubs and dedicated individuals have put much effort behind them. I'm keen for Sport Wales to work with interested parties such as Aberystwyth University and local sports clubs to help access funding for the project.
"The project has the potential to bring a huge boost to participation in sport in this area, and will also help the economy of central Wales. I'm determined to do what I can to help these plans to become a reality."

Got back down by 11:30 am and drove to Idaho Falls, where we hoped to have lunch and a beer at Snow Eagle Brewing, but apparently they are closed on Sunday. Got back to SL at 5:30 pm. Long, fun day.

|Bumpy drive, cool scramble
Date Climbed: Sep 11, 2013
|The last part of the drive in was pretty nasty but made it OK in my Outback. I was physically tired from Borah the previous day, and became mentally tired from constant routefinding on the way up the upper ridge of this peak. Quite a bit easier coming down when you can see where to go. The scrambling is great fun if you can stay on route (mostly on top of the ridge, occasionally off to the right), off route is loose & not so enjoyable, but probably not dangerous either.

|My partner and I attempted Diamond on a beautiful sunny day. We were alone except for a herd of about 30 pronghorn. I'm comfortable with 3rd class scrambling but some of the taller pitches were out of my skill level so we turned back a few hundred feet from the summit. After gaining more experience I'll definitely be back!

|We camped one night at 9200' in a saddle where we found what appeared to be an old hunting camp. Perfect place carved out for a tent. Apparently we braved a tornado in the night, which gave way to incredible looking weather patterns, high winds, an inversion, and a gorgeous sunrise the next day. We had plenty of calls on our cell phones when we got back to the truck telling us about the tornado reported on Diamond Peak. We had no indication that we were going to be hit with a storm the day before- great day, a bit windy, but otherwise great.
This was my favorite 12'er by far. A great scramble.

|This mountain is awesome! Rode on bike from Idaho Falls, slept under the stars, and on Sunday climbed up all the way to the mighty summit via the east ridge. I set off at 9 and reached the top by 1 PM. On my way up I must have met the climber kdonaldson and his friend. The weather was perfect and the views were magnificent. The walk to the top-most summit felt like walking in the heaven. The air was thin and I found it little bit hard to breathe. This is the highest peak I have ever visited in my life. I can still feel my stiff legs and feet. Thank you, Diamond Peak, for letting me safely to your summit!

Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2010
|On our first attempt of the east ridge in Nov 2008, we turned back just as we were entering into the crux. Cold, wind and loose snow on rock was not fun. This time - what a massive difference. The weather couldn't have been better. We summited in 4 hours hit the summit at 9 am with almost no wind, and 49 degrees. So nice we spent 40 minutes up there before heading down (3 hours to get down). An extremely enjoyable scramble. My 7th of 9 idaho 12'ers. Last 2 are church and donaldson. Diamond is probably the most technical of the 9 in my opinion.

Awakening Heart (Portraits Series #1)
Emma Davis is determined to break out of the isolation she's created for herself as the sole caretaker of her elderly grandmother. Although she's always been the "practical" one, a spur-of-the-moment visit to a travel agency sets her on a journey far from her small-town home.
A breathtaking cruise begins to soften the shell around Emma's heart as she learns to open herself up to new experiences and newfound friendships, but it isn't until her arrival in Papua, New Guinea, that Emma begins to truly realize her identity as a child of God. Amid the lush landscape of the tropical island, Emma regains her sense of purpose by caring for three motherless children, and befriending their father, Josh Daniels, whose own eyes reflect a haunting and painful memory.
Can the love Emma has discovered help conquer Josh's tainted and bitter past?

High School Football
Matchup: Citrus Valley (6-5) at Big Bear (9-2)
When: Currently scheduled for Friday, 7 p.m.
Where: Currently scheduled for Big Bear Middle School
REDLANDS - Rain, snow or shine, Citrus Valley is ready to play some football.
Weather conditions may have an impact on the start time and location of Citrus Valley's CIF-Southern Section East Valley Division second round game.
It is currently scheduled for Big Bear Middle School on Friday at 7 p.m.
But Blackhawks coach Pete Smolin, however, is only thinking about football.
"There's that old adage 'we'll fight you any place, any time," Smolin said. "We will play them in the street, in the mountains, in a vacant lot. We don't care. That's the mentality of our kids and the mentality of our program."
Weather forecasts say there is a strong potential for snow on Friday, which may cause for the game to be relocated to a neutral site. Barstow High School has been mentioned as a last minute change.
"Basically, it's out of our hands," Smolin said. "I know they are animate about playing there on Friday. Our kids are focused on football, on tackling and blocking and execution."
The game's start time and location will likely be finalized today.
"We probably won't know until Friday morning at 8 a.m.," Smolin said.
The weather conditions are a non-factor if you ask Smolin.
"I'm from Pennsylvania, I played Division 2 football in Minnesota, Michigan, North Dakota," Smolin said. "I don't think it's an issue at all."
Smolin added, "You still have to block and tackle. I'm not worried about it. It may be a little uncomfortable up till warm ups. If it isn't below 20 degrees, there won't be a problem."
Big Bear has routinely played games on Saturday afternoons. This season the Grizzlies have won five of their six games played on Saturday.
"We haven't played on Saturday," Smolin said. "They have played six games and almost won them all."

Paul Horn, who has led IBM Corp.'s research division for 11 years, is retiring and being replaced by an executive who had been overseeing IBM's strategies on technical standards and intellectual property.
Under Horn, 60, IBM maintained its status as the No. 1 patent generator in the United States. IBM spends $6 billion a year on what it calls research, development and engineering, making it one of the top industrial research operations in the world.
Horn joined IBM in 1979 after serving as a physics professor at the University of Chicago. Upon leaving IBM, he will become a scientist in residence at New York University.
His replacement atop IBM's labs, John E. Kelly III, 53, started working at IBM in 1980. Most recently he has been senior vice president of technology and intellectual property. Previously he ran IBM's microelectronics business and held other positions in semiconductor research and development.

David Hasselhoff Battles Man-Eating Fish in 'Piranha 3DD' Trailer [NSFW VIDEO]

Dumping a provision that would ban insulting or offensive conduct is one of several options the government's legal advisers have put forward in response to an outcry over draft anti-discrimination laws.
Departmental secretary Roger Wilkins told a Senate committee on Monday the government was not "shackled" to the proposed legislation, which has been heavily criticised for introducing new prohibitions on free speech.
Mr Wilkins said there were a number of options for altering the part of the bill that makes it an offence to discriminate against a person by offending, insulting or intimidating them.
These included removing the provision altogether, clarifying that it was an objective test or using alternative words that provided a clear definition.
But the advice to the committee was that any change could create uncertainty in the operation of the legislation and existing law upon which it is based.
"I just want to emphasise it is a draft," he said. "The scope of this exercise is really to consolidate existing law. We are not going to be defensive about this, if people have better ideas about how it should be drafted then that will be listened to."
Mr Wilkins presented the options at the request of Attorney-General
Her replacement,
He stressed the need to strike a balance between protecting the community and ensuring the law allowed full discussion and free speech, adding that the government would not abandon the existing "hate" speech offence in the Racial Discrimination Act.
"I don't think anyone could doubt my commitment to free speech over very, very many years," Mr Dreyfus told the ABC. "I've participated in some of the landmark free speech cases in this country."
The government is under significant pressure to make changes. The draft bill has been criticised by former NSW chief justice Jim Spigelman and former High Court judge
Media companies including Fairfax, which publishes The Australian Financial Review, have also voiced strong concerns about the offence provision.
Simon Rice, the director of law reform and social justice at the Australian National University, said if, as stated, the government's intent was to clarify that harassment under existing discrimination law included to "insult or offend", the provision had been poorly drafted and should be removed. "If this [clause] goes, the free speech problems go and we can have a debate about other parts of the bill," Professor Rice said.

The Grid Code
THE GRID CODE INFO: Lehigh Valley's Premiere Indoor Airsoft and Nerf Arena. Airsoft is a sport which uses replica firearms to shoot small diameter plastic pellets. Common uses for airsoft are competitive gaming (similar to paintball), military simulations, target shooting, military training, and recreation. While similar in operation to BB guns, airsoft guns use lightweight (usually) plastic projectiles (BBs) 6mm (or 8mm) in diameter instead of metallic 4.5mm BBs. Nerf (trademarked in capitals as NERF) is a toy brand created by Parker Brothers and currently owned by Hasbro. The acronym NERF stands for "Non-Expanding Recreational Foam". The most notable of the toys are the dart guns (referred to by Hasbro as "blasters") that shoot ammunition made from Nerf foam. Since many such items were released throughout the 1970s, Nerf products often feature bright neon colors and soft textures similar to the flagship Nerf ball.

Tough Mudder to make return to Northstar
May 2, 2013
Tough Mudder, the premier adventure challenge series in the world, will return to Northstar California Resort in North Lake Tahoe on July 13 and 14 and Sept. 28 and 29, 2013.
Tough Mudder events are 10-plus-mile obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit and camaraderie. Tough Mudder's innovative courses have attracted 750,000 inspiring participants worldwide to date. Through Tough Mudder, these participants have raised more than $5 million for the Wounded Warrior Project.
"We're thrilled to welcome Tough Mudder and its participants back to Northstar this summer and fall. It was incredible witnessing the determination and drive of those who participated last year, and I can only imagine what obstacles the course will feature this season at Northstar," said Bill Rock, chief operating officer at Northstar. "One of the most impactful parts of the event is the pep talk given as each wave of participants gets ready to head out onto the course. Tough Mudder's support of the Wounded Warrior Project is an incredible reminder of the sacrifice our military gives on behalf of our country every day."
Registration is open for both events. The Tahoe Summer event is already 77 percent sold, and rates for both the summer and fall events are scheduled to increase on May 3. Right now, standard entry rate is $135 for Saturday and $125 for Sunday. Registration will increase by $10 after May 3 and $45 after June 14. The registration cost includes an event T-shirt, a hard-earned beer, bragging rights and live music during the post-event party.
Spectator tickets will be available for sale online for $20 until noon on the Friday before the event weekends. They will be sold for $40 cash only onsite. For the safety of pets, participants and spectators, dogs will not be permitted on the mountain at Northstar during the Tough Mudder event weekends.

Another cold, wintery Toy Fair is behind us, and while we understand the reasons behind having it in New York in February, there has to be some workaround where we aren't under a blizzard warning every year and don't have to explain to our spouses or significant others why Valentine's Day for a toy geek actually falls the next Saturday after Toy Fair.

This Saga Legends Sandtrooper is one of my favorites. It's a good mold with a great paint wipe, which resulted in a stunning figure which people actually still want today. (Unreal, I know.) You should get one-- so read on!

(NEW YORK, NY) For a few years now, Kotobukiya has been known for their magnificent PVC ArtFX statues that stunningly display Star Wars characters in stylized form.

"The Force will be with you, always." No kidding!

Our Toy Fair coverage continues with photos from the LEGO press event this morning. A few awesome sets are slated for the fall including a Sith Nightspeeder with Savage Opress minifig, Republic Frigate, and Millennium Falcon. Guests were also given a limited edition LEGO Star Wars miniland boxed set of Han Solo and Chewbacca.
