Former Police Commissioner Christine Nixon has defended embattled Emergency Services Minister Kim Wells, saying he acted appropriately and left the right people in charge to manage the Grampians bushfires.
Mr Wells has admitted he made an error spending last Friday evening watching the tennis at the Australian Open while dozens of bushfires burnt across the state.
"The minister, I believe, was behaving reasonably ... he left the people who knew how to manage it in charge," Ms Nixon told radio station 774 ABC.
"It's a storm in a tea cup; it annoys me that people are criticised when it's not a reasonable thing to do."
She said Mr Wells had been at the control centre during the day and was constantly informed of the situation.
Ms Nixon said a Minister's role was to provide support not to manage the emergency.
"Any of the evidence would tell us in fact that the people who are the experts should be allowed to the job, what the Minister is supposed to do is support them," she said.
Ms Nixon said that people were too quick to jump to criticise, especially in emergency services, and that meant ministers were rushing to help when they did not need to be there.
"I think it is time to recognise the role of people in senior positions and the evidence ... suggests you should in fact stay out of it," she said.
Ms Nixon was roundly criticised after it was revealed that at the height of the February 2009 Black Saturday bushfires, she went out to dinner.
It has also been revealed that sports minister, and the local MP for Grampians region, Hugh Delahunty was also at the tennis on Friday night.
He has also been criticised for attending the Open rather than the fires.
His spokesman said Mr Delahunty spent most the day in fire-affected regions before leaving at 4pm for the tennis where he was meeting with Tennis Victoria, local governments and community tennis clubs.

Final Chapter
Homecoming Girls
The incident caused by Dr. Akihiro was broadcasted throughout the televisions of Tokyo. Maribel and Renko were in the former's house, where they were seeing the live broadcast.
"The culprit of this incident, Doctor Akihiro Machida, has been apprehended and will be judged for his crime against humanity after recuperating at the hospital," the news reporter said. On the television, Dr. Akihiro was shown lying on a stretcher and being taken into an ambulance.
"Can't believe that a brilliant scientist like Doctor Machida would do such a thing… Changing people into monsters…" Renko said in disbelief.
"I thought he was someone to look up to, but I guess it's not true anymore…" Maribel said.
"And now, we shall interview the people who put a stop to his plan," the news reporter said, and then the camera shifted over to Nue, Mamizou, Yumemi, and Chiyuri. The sight of the former two surprised Maribel and Renko.
Various news reporters crowded around them and bombarded them with questions.
"What is your name?"
"How did you stop Doctor Machida?"
"Can you please tell us everything from beginning to end?"
"People reported seeing you two flying in the air. Is this true?"
"Is that trident your weapon of choice?"
Because they were being questioned by several people at once, Nue and Mamizou were very nervous and couldn't reply properly at all. Nue said to Mamizou, "What… What do we do…?"
"Get out of here right away?" Mamizou suggested. "I don't like it like this… It's going to be really complicated trying to explain to them everything, especially what we are and where we come from…"
"How do we get out of here?" Nue asked.
"Like this!" Mamizou said, and then she clapped her hands to create a large amount of smoke that blocked out everyone's view.
When the smoke finally dissipated and everyone stopped coughing, Nue and Mamizou were nowhere in sight. The crowd looked around in confusion for the whereabouts of those two, but then Yumemi grabbed their attentions. "Everyone! You can feel free to ask me questions instead!" she loudly said. "I'm willing to answer whatever you ask me!" Immediately, the reporters bombarded her with questions.
While being questioned, Yumemi said in her head, "The two of you are definitely from Gensokyo, and I know you wouldn't want to expose the existence of that place to the outside. Good luck going back to your homeland! Your secret is safe with me! Wait a minute… Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something…?"
Nue and Mamizou stepped out from the inn they stayed in, and the latter asked the former, "Got everything?"
"Yep," Nue replied with a nod.
"Then let's go," Mamizou said. "We've aroused too much attention already. We should return to Gensokyo before the people here recognize us." With that, they both disguised themselves as birds and then took off into the air. Nue hid behind the illusion of a pigeon, while Mamizou transformed into an eagle in order to carry her luggage.
As they soared through the air, Nue looked down and said, "It was fun while it lasted, but things really didn't turn out pleasant in the end… Still, I'm glad that I managed to experience firsthand the fun things of the outside world!"
"There's a lot more to the outside world than you think, but touring the entire world is something that will take a really long time to finish," Mamizou told her.
"Hope we can have the opportunity to do that someday!" Nue happily said, and then she looked up ahead. It's nice to be able to go back home too! Nothing beats the comfort of staying in your own, cozy house!
Mamizou nodded. "Yep! Even if Gensokyo isn't my birthplace, it is still a comfortable place to live in!"
"I can't wait to tell the others about what happened out here! They're totally not going to believe me, but I'm going to make them believe me no matter what!" Nue said.
"I'm sure they will believe you," Mamizou said to her. "Anything can happen in Gensokyo, so I'm sure they'll believe everything that happened in the outside world too!"
"Heheh! The thought of this makes me excited!" Nue said, and then she punched the air. "Gensokyo! We're coming home!
Ending Theme
Encounter of Destiny
(vocal remix of UFO Romance in the Night Sky, by Sound Holic)
Story by
Plot based on the movie The Amazing-Spider Man
Dr. Akihiro is owned by me
Isami is owned by The Drinking Party
All other named characters are owned by ZUN
All other unnamed characters are irrelevant regarding who owns them
Theme Ends
Nue and Mamizou were getting closer and closer to the shrine that served as the entrance to Gensokyo.
The whole incident made Nue completely forgot about one thing. The iPhone-sized object… It was inside her bag…
The third "build-up" story
And thus the end of another story… I hope you enjoyed this story! As you can tell from the title of the next story, Minamitsu will be the main character. How is the next story related to this one? You'll see…
And yes, the "staff roll" theme is supposed to play until the end before you continue to the short epilogue, if that's considered one…
Anyway, see you in the next story!
God bless you all!

[Originally written for and performed at Theater Oobleck's June 3, 2014, residency at the Hideout. Perhaps to be revised, or turned into a chapbook. We'll see. Gently revised version republished September 22, 2014, by Belt Magazine.]
Down the street from my apartment there's a community garden on a vacant lot owned by my landlord — although, of course, "vacant" is a bit misleading. It's home to a dozen raised beds of flowers and vegetables. There are hoses and a rain barrel and two rotating compost bins and a mess of stakes and tomato cages under the porch of the house next door. In the spring mushrooms push up through the dandelions
In the first warm weeks of May I sowed buttercrunch lettuce and mesclun and red romaine, along with beets and chard and kale and carrots in the plots I'd claimed as my own. I had the best intentions, I had carefully ordered an array of exotics from the heirloom seed catalog — Chantenay red core carrots; bull's blood and golden beets. I amended the soil with compost and an extravagant layer of topsoil. I even drew a map in a little spiral notebook. But, perhaps dizzy with the sudden onset of spring, when I got down in the dirt itself I quickly abandoned any attempt to impose structure on nature and began sprinkling seeds with abandon. I figured I'd thin them out once they'd germinated, after I saw what stuck.
One month later the lettuces are coming up thick in nice straight rows. But the bok choy and the chard are sketchy, their sprouts emerging from the soil in curves and clumps, if at all. Only four of dozens of golden beets have germinated, and cilantro has invaded the carrot patch. Samaras from the maple towering to the east have rained down on the garden, blanketing it with little brown propellers and every morning I crouch over the beds, contemplating clusters of inch-high shoots, wondering, are you kale or crabgrass? Are you seed or are you weed?
I live half a block north of this garden, on Humboldt Boulevard practically on top of the Bloomingdale Trail. That's the colloquial name given to the elevated tracks stretching 2.7 miles west across Chicago from Ashland all the way to Ridgeway, along Bloomingdale Avenue, about midway between Armitage and North. Once it was a spur line for the Canadian Pacific Railroad, but regular transit stopped on the line in 2001 and in the years that followed the tracks were reclaimed by fast-growing plants. Bull thistles and pokeweed grew thick along the railings while pineapple weed choked the tracks – as did broken glass, beer cans, dead rats, abandoned shoes, needles, condoms, and yards upon yards of VHS tape, scenes from Ghostbusters unspooling on the breeze. Catalpa and gingko stretched their branches overhead. Wildflowers rioted in July.
From the ground the trail didn't look like much – a few miles of dank, crumbling cement held together by graffiti. But from above it was a magic highway. A thin strip of rough scrubby green easily accessed at strategic points along a poorly maintained fence line, the Bloomingdale Trail gave sanctuary to drinkers, dog walkers, joggers, junkies, and anyone seeking shelter from the streets below. It was an interstitial wilderness, opportunistic plants holding tight to rocky soil, and for much of the 00s it was the city's best-kept open secret.
These days the weeds are gone. Last August the city broke ground on construction of a long-planned network of parks and trails along the railway that's now called The 606. In the works for more than ten years, it's set to open in its first phase this fall, and I've watched over the last six months as small trucks and front-end loaders zip back and forth along the viaduct past my second-story windows. On the ground, the bright murals that marked the passage from Humboldt Park to Logan Square – whose neighborhood boundary the trail passively polices – have been sandblasted away in the name of lead abatement. The quiet man who lived underneath the overpass all last summer has moved on. If you trespass on the tracks these days you'll get a ticket.
Almost exactly 19 years ago I was homeless in Chicago, sleeping on the floor of a friend's loft at Grand and Wood. I spent hours each day, those first weeks, adrift in a strange town, drinking coffee at the old Wishbone on Grand and poring over the Reader classifieds looking for a job, an apartment, a map, a clue.
In the afternoons I walked the streets of greater Wicker Park – Grand to North; Ashland to Western — building a muscle memory of Chicago's geography with every step. I didn't go west of Western on my own back then. In 1995, to the new in town, west of Western was the wild unknown, best approached only with a trusted guide.
One night we threw a party. My friends were moving out of the loft, moving on, and I needed to as well. We posted a sign in the kitchen, bold black Sharpie on butcher paper: "Martha needs a place to live." It was a party with intention, at which I had to introduce myself to strangers over and over until, by accident, one of them stuck. I moved into Carla's apartment at Augusta and Damen two weeks later.
Accident or intention.
Seed or weed?
For as long as there've been gardens, gardeners have pondered the epistemology of weeds.
Because a weed famously is defined by what it's not. A weed is just a plant growing where it's not wanted, right? A hardy plant with the tenacity to thrive, neglected, in inhospitable turf.
A weed competes for resources – for space, sunlight, and water — with more desirable, intentional plants. It provides shelter where pests can overwinter. Early-season weeds offer sustenance to sap-sucking aphids and other insects, enabling them to grow strong enough to attack your tomatoes when the time is right.
In the proper context a weed can be a tincture, or a tea, or the main ingredient in your pasta with wild ramp pesto. If it roots in the right place it can fix nitrogen in the soil or anchor unstable ground. In fact there's a famous story that the first life to return to east London after the devastation of the Blitz came in the form of weeds. According to Richard Mabey, author of the book Weeds, by the end of the war braken carpeted the nave of St. James Cathedral and ragwort scrambled up London Wall. The spread of the lowly rosebay willowherb was so thick and rapid it was welcomed with the nickname "bombweed."
But what's a weed on land no one cares about? In the loose taxonomy of common weeds, railway weeds are their own low category: tenacious, craven plants that have staked a claim to the roughest most embattled turf around. Yarrow and curly dock. Pigweeds prostrate, Russian, rough, and smooth. Spotted knapweed, hoary cress, Western goatsbeard, and toothed spurge. They all have names and properties, but in the ledger of urban improvement count for nothing.
Last summer I walked the Bloomingdale Trail a lot, climbing the fence at Julia DeBurgos Park over on Whipple and more often than not heading east. To the west, near where the tracks split at Ridgeway, vegetation gave way to a ground cover of small hostile rocks, and long-abandoned freight cars offered privacy for all manner of illicit human activities.
To the east, though, the path grew soft and lush and where, from the street, the tracks seemed a dark mass of decaying concrete, from above they vibrated with the full flower of midsummer.
Accident or intention?
Seed or weed?
Which is better in the long run? Is it even possible to quantify their relative good? Intention builds bridges; accident coats them with rust. Intention drops bombs; accident turns the rubble green. Intention sows spinach; accident raises lamb's quarters instead.
But, wait a minute. Weeds grow from seeds, same as radishes. Lamb's quarters are just wild spinach. You can eat them too, just as well.
My friend Amy used to live on Monticello, just south of the Bloomingdale tracks, and she swore for months that from her garden she could see trains passing along the tracks overhead. We scoffed. Those tracks haven't been used for years! She was seeing ghosts, we teased, and Amy's ghost train was a running refrain until, one day, I saw it too – a freight train, real as steel, moving smoothly west.
I did some poking around and the most likely explanation for this is that the trains were delivering flour to a nearby industrial bakery that, though warned of the imminent redevelopment of the trail, waited until the very last possible minute to make alternate shipping arrangements. The least likely, though most lovely, explanation is the legend told by longtime trail neighbors, who swear that the circus used to use those tracks, sending carloads of animals towards the United Center, giraffes poking their necks out the top and nodding to condo dwellers as they passed.
This, of course, is a fairytale. No record of such a train exists with either the railway or the city. It turns out, in fact, that Amy's ghost train may have been delivering neither bread nor beasts. Rather, in order for Canadian Pacific to hold onto the air rights above the tracks all these years, they were required by law to keep them in use. And so every once in a while, for no reason, they'd run a train bearing nothing slowly by.
In April the Chicago Department of Transportation removed the old railway bridge at the Ashland Avenue end of the Bloomingdale Trail. It was taken to a work yard, scrubbed clean of rust, repainted, and then driven slowly, at dawn, one mile west to Western, where it was reinstalled, and now connects Humboldt Park to Bucktown. The video of the bridge's transit reminds me of footage of the journey of Michael Heizer's Levitated Mass, the 350-ton granite boulder Heizer – a reclusive land artist perhaps best known for his 1970 earthwork Double Negative — had excavated from a Southern California quarry in 2012 and trucked over ten nights, at a stately 2 miles per hour, to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Over those ten nights crowds of thousands gathered to marvel and clap, and others to mock and jeer. It's just a rock, the skeptics scoffed. Why waste all this time and money staking a claim to art? But like "Double Negative" – which is basically two big gashes cut into the earth atop a remote Nevada mesa – the appeal of the big rock, which now sits suspended above a deep trench cut into the LACMA plaza, is as much about what's not there as what is.
Weed or seed?
Can't a plant – a rock, a trail, a home — be both at once?
For weeks now city crews have been working on the viaduct over Humboldt Boulevard, spitting distance from my door, jackhammering away every morning at the unhappy hour of 7 am. When this phase of construction is done, there'll be a new access ramp over on Whipple and bleacher seating installed along the Humboldt overpass that will give visitors a place to sit and rest, and look down at traffic on the boulevard, and in my front yard.
It's a long arc to this yard from that first apartment I stumbled into, the one that anchored me in Chicago. I was only there a year, but in the 18 years since I haven't strayed far from that central square, even as its perimeter has expanded, pushing past Western to California and beyond, and north to the edge of the Bloomingdale Trail, whose rocks and weeds inscribed new memories into my muscles as recently as last year.
According to the plan recently unveiled by the landscape architect for the site, the trail will be home to an elaborate new ecosystem of native plants, with hanging gardens of forsythia, thickets of poplars and maidenhair ferns, and meadows of blue flax and bee balm, goatsbeard and yellow mullien — desirable, intentional, weeds no more. A spiraling observatory — an earthwork built from soil and rubble — will anchor the western trailhead, its access points marked by evergreen spires. A tunnel of paper bark maples will open onto a public arts space at Ashland, and magnolias will bloom over Julia De Burgos Park.
Like the circus train, it will soon be a fairytale that once upon a time in the city you could climb a fence and take a long walk through nothing, along a trail of beautiful weeds.

|Georg Getty's Omaha Northwest High School Choir and Maestro J. Gawf work on Italian and Latin diction
We know that arts education is important to academic, social, and emotional development and that kids involved in extracurricular arts-related activities are more likely to be high achievers in many areas. In Omaha and the surrounding communities, there are numerous opportunities for kids to be involved in band, choir, drama, and a host of other activities. This is a truly wonderful thing about Omaha and our fantastic public schools.
To further enhance arts education, organizations from outside the school, like Opera Omaha, collaborate with educators and new ideas are presented and community connections are forged. So, how is Opera Omaha part of this process? We have a plan!
Opera Omaha's Resident Music Director, J. Gawf, spent parts of the past two weeks in area high school music rooms. He worked with high school choirs on Italian and Latin diction in preparation for the 2012 Choral Collaborative rehearsals and concert. Maestro Gawf works with the students before the schools come together to sing a fantastic program with an orchestra and featured professional singers. The Choral Collaborative concert is presented in partnership with the Omaha Symphony in the Holland Performing Arts Center on Sunday, November 11, 2012 at 2:00pm.
We are thrilled to be part of connecting students to the community through arts education and honored to work with the Omaha Symphony in presenting the students' efforts to the public. Please make plans to join us, hear wonderful music, and see these young people perform musical works of great significance. We look forward to seeing you there!

New Delhi, July 16 (IANS) Delhi Police's traffic wing will Thursday launch a drive against vehicles with faulty number plates and offenders would have to cough up Rs. 2,000 instead of the earlier Rs. 100 fine, while repeat offenders can also land up in jail, an official said.
According to police, till now offenders were charged only under Rule 50/177 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), 1989 which provides for a meager penalty of Rs.100.
However, with the addition of Section 39/192 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the fine has increased to Rs.2,000 for the first offence and Rs.5,000 or imprisonment up to an year or both for the subsequent offences.
"The offenders will not be able to pay the fine on the spot and will have to appear before the concerned court of law...They will have to change the defective number plates before they appear in the court," Additional Commissioner of Police (traffic) Anil Shukla said.
According to Shukla, the motorists, especially the commercial vehicles, were not bothered about sporting a legal number plate due to the meager fine.
He stressed that the number plates should be of the prescribed size with no images or stickers pasted on them and the letters should be of legal size and clearly visible.
To ensure that people do not challenge the fine in the court, all traffic police officials who will take part in the drive will be armed with digital cameras to click a photo fo the faulty number plate as evidence. The picture would be attached along with the challan.

A day after claiming he is sober on 'Celebrity Rehab', the actor was arrested on suspicion of drug possession in California on Thursday night.
U.S. oil heir Jason Davis has been arrested on suspicion of drug possession, a day after declaring he was clean during a live episode of hit reality show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew". The grandson of billionaire businessman Marvin Davis was a patient on counselor-to-the-stars Dr. Drew Pinsky's TV treatment show, which saw him receive help fighting his drink and drug demons at the Pasadena Recovery Center last year.
A live reunion episode of "Celebrity Rehab" aired in the U.S. on Wednesday, January 26, when Davis claimed he had managed to stay sober. But he appears to have slipped back into his wild ways and was picked up by cops in Newport Beach, California on Thursday night, January 27.
He is facing a charge of possession of a controlled substance and has been placed on $20,000 bail, reports TMZ.com. And Dr. Pinsky has offered his support to Davis in the hope his arrest will prompt him to return to rehab to conquer his troubles once and for all.
He tells the website, "Jason was honest about his struggles with his sobriety on the reunion show. Hopefully, now that there are legal consequences, further treatment will be mandated, which he so desperately needs. As I said when I saw him Wednesday, we care for him very deeply and we are here for him."

ipad2 vs playbook?

Usage is actually a harder to answer question than you might think. I already have an ipod touch, a blackberry (ancient one), and a netbook with windows XP on it and a Cybook Gen 3 ebook reader.
Probably my most compelling reason for considering the playbook is the 7" form factor. My netbook is 10"...so why get another device at that size.
7" will fit in my purse so I imagine having the playbook with me all the time. Since I carry a BB I will have tethering and access to the internet. I expect to read email, google reader, a few sites like this one, use flixter (or equivalent), imdb. Those are basic requirements. I also want a good ereader application. I really like stanza on my ipod touch. Something like that would be good.
The thing I love about my ipod touch (besides stanza) is the speed it has. It's instant on, and instantly on the 'net. I don't have that experience with my netbook, and I want it in a tablet.
I think my BB and tablet would be "carry in my purse".
My ipod touch is beside the couch. I use it for "hey, who's that guy" while watching TV as well as browsing facebook, and email when TV is boring (or too scary).
My netbook travels with me, and gets occasional use at home. It has some flakiness with regards to connecting to my home network so it's too annoying to use regularly. I may use the tablet instead of the netbook for travel...but I'm not sure.
Other side benefits to the playbook are that I'm Canadian and so is RIM. I have several friends who work for RIM, including one who works for QNX. Always good to support your friends' employers. And, there may be perks/accessories I can get for cheap.
The scary thing about the playbook is that it's basically an unknown. My QNX employee friend says it's very snappy/responsive so that's good. But apps for it are a complete unknown. Running Android apps is still a rumor and not confirmed. Really the ereader is the app I use the most other than a web browser. If there's a good ereader for the playbook (not counting retailer specific apps) then I'm all set.

Eye disease scan 'lights up brain'
Scientists are hoping to discover more about eye diseases by "lighting up the brain".
The team from the University of Leicester hope that using a special scanning technique will allow them to see exactly what happens in the brains of patients suffering from such diseases.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is already used to detect abnormalities in the brain such as tumours.
fMRI allows researchers to see changes in blood flow in the brain that accompany brain activity.
This means scientists can see which parts of the brain become active, or "light up", as people look at different pictures and patterns.
They hope the technique will help them what happens to the brain in people with common eye problems such as "blind spots", where people have missing parts of their peripheral vision, perhaps due to glaucoma.
Often, people are unaware of these blind spots, so they fail to recognise their symptoms and are treated too late.
This means some people see a continually moving world, but for others things appear normal and stationary.
Professor Irene Gottlob, who is head of ophthalmology at the University of Leicester, said: "Although it may seem obvious that we "see" with our eyes - it is the brain that analyses what our eyes see and controls how our eyes move.
"Understanding how the brain works in conjunction with the eyes is an important step to fully understanding what happens in eye diseases."
She added: "A large part of the brain is involved in processing the information from what the eye sees but also is responsible for controlling the movement of the eye.
The research is being funded by the Ulverscroft Foundation, a charity which funds production of large print books for visually impaired people.
Anita Lightstone, head of low vision and prevention at the Royal National Institute for the Blind told BBC News Online: "This type of analysis will allow a much greater understanding of how we interpret the information received from the eye and we fully support research that enables a better understanding of how the eye and brain function."

One of 50 women suing drug-addicted anaesthetist James Latham Peters for infecting them with hepatitis C is blocking settlement of the case, a court has heard.
The woman is refusing to join the class action against Peters, prominent abortion specialist Dr Mark Schulberg who had supervised Peters, and the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Authority, because she is not prepared to accept less money.
Supreme Court Justice David Beach said he was "deeply troubled" as to why the woman believed it was in her interests not to settle along with all the other women in the class action.
Justice Beach said the woman was the only impediment to settlement of the case.
If the woman, who had decided to opt out of the class action, did not agree to re-join the group of victims then the case would have to go to trial.
A trial would be time-consuming and cost tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees which would have to come out of any final settlement figure.
The judge was told the settlement offer now on the table was contingent on the woman re-joining the class action and not trying to go it alone.
Justice Beach adjourned the matter until next Wednesday to give the woman's lawyer time to discuss the situation with her.
Peters, 63, was jailed last year for 14 years with a non-parole period of 10 years, after pleading guilty to 55 counts of negligently causing serious injury to the patients by injecting himself with prefilled syringes of fentanyl - an opioid used in general anaesthesia - in theatre at Croydon Day Surgery. He then administered the remaining drug to the patients as they underwent pregnancy terminations.
The Supreme Court was told the "complete incompetence" of Victoria's Medical Practitioners Board led to Peters infecting the women.
While he was required to undergo regular urine drug screening as part of the board's monitoring conditions after he confessed to having a drug problem, he was never tested for the drug he was addicted to - fentanyl.
Peters had a history of drug abuse as well as convictions for possessing a drug of dependence and falsifying prescriptions when he infected the women with the potentially deadly blood disease between June 2008 and November 2009.
While he had informed the medical board - which was abolished under subsequent legislation - about his addiction to fentanyl and pethidine in 1996, Peters failed to disclose his hepatitis C status. The Health Department, which the court heard would have been aware he was a doctor being monitored for a fentanyl addiction, was told as soon as he tested positive to the disease, but did not pass on the information.
Despite being suspended while he sought help for his addiction, Peters was allowed to return to work under certain monitoring conditions.
Many of his victims have previously told the court of the impact of what they called his "medical negligence", "crime" and "act of violence" against them. Their victim impact statements spoke of broken relationships, ruined careers and their ever-present fears of passing on the disease to their partners, children and others.
Many have developed crippling depression, anxiety and stress since learning they had been exposed to the disease and finding out they had been infected. Several have been placed in psychiatric care and many contemplated suicide as a direct result of Peters' actions.
In May last year, the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal cancelled the registration of Dr Schulberg - who had been Peters' supervisor at the Croydon Day Surgery - for one year from July after finding him guilty of serious misconduct.
Between 2000 and 2009, the Croydon-based doctor prescribed multiple patients with more than 25,000 Xanax tablets and 9000 Valium among other addictive drugs.
The tribunal heard Dr Schulberg was the only doctor in Victoria, and potentially Australia, who continued to perform late-term surgical abortions on women between 16 and 24 weeks gestation.

Shakira + Rihanna Tease Sexy 'Can't Remember to Forget You' Video
Remember a couple of weeks ago when we said that Shakira and Rihanna's sexy new single cover was kind of a tease? Well, forget that!
Remember a couple of weeks ago when we said that Shakira and Rihanna's sexy new single cover was kind of a tease? Well, forget that!
Season 5 of 'The Voice' wrapped last night (Dec. 17), with original coaches Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera returning to their big red chairs after sitting out Season 4 with Usher and Shakira in their stead. Well, it's once again Cee Lo and Xtina out and Usher Raymond and Shakira in for Season 6.
Shakira is one of those stars who's so stunning that you sort of want to hate her, but so down to earth that you can't help but adore her. She continues her reign of "hottest best friend we wish we had" in the new issue of Self, where she talks about the efforts that went into her stellar post-baby bod.
If you're like us here at PopCrush, then you're counting down the days to the March premiere of Season 4 of 'The Voice.' And these new promos that fell into our laps are making us excited -- not like we have it marked in red on our calendars or anything.
With the news of Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo Green taking a bit of a break from NBC's hit TV show, The Voice, we were wondering who would replace them. Well, now it's been confirmed that R&B singer, Usher and Latin bombshell, Shakira will be the replacements for the judge's chairs.
Shakira endorsed Barack Obama for President in 2008, and later played at his inauguration. Now it looks like Obama is returning the favor as earlier this week he appointed the world's foremost hip shaker to his Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.
Her chips don't lie: Shakira showed off her golf skills on her YouTube tour vlog by sinking some putts and displaying surprisingly great form on the driving range.

Here's a lovely old cut ABP six-panelled bowl connected with a six-pointed star with a central hob star. Three of the panels have prism designs and the other three are stars. Saw tooth rim has 66 points, several of which are chipped. It measures 8-1/4 " in diameter and 3-1/4" tall. Quite heavy and very deeply cut which really causes the light to "ping" like a faceted diamond.

'Oz the Great and Powerful' Star Mila Kunis: I Hope to Have a Family in Five Years
In the August issue of Interview magazine, the 28-year-old sits down for a Q&A with her Oz the Great and Powerful co-star James Franco. Some of his questions: "What do the next five years look like to you? Do you want to keep acting? Or do you see a future where you're doing something else?
The 'Black Swan' star had a surprising answer…
"Listen, in five years I do hope to have a family, and, you know, who knows?" she said.
Kunis then added, "I think in this industry, people have such a short shelf life, truly, that I don't know what I'm going to be in five years in regards to acting."
Some of Kunis' most recent projects include the blockbuster hit Ted — it's made over $158 million since its release in June. She's also been spotted filming Blood Ties with Clive Owen in New York. Oz the Great and Powerful, meanwhile, hits theaters on March 8, 2013.
Kunis, who dated actor Macaulay Culkin from 2002 to 2010, is now said to be dating her co-star from That 70's Show, Ashton Kutcher. But she's still not spilling on the rumored romance: During a panel for Oz the Great and Powerful — a prequel to The Wizard of Oz — at Comic-Con this past weekend, Kunis said that "a lot" of fantasy has been made up about her love life recently.
For more on Kunis and Franco's chat, take a glimpse at Interview magazine. And to see the first trailer for the Sam Raimi-directed Oz the Great and Powerful, also starring Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz, watch the trailer below.

Good buy
This is a top which is easily converted from cover up to shirt, looks good with everything. The contrast in fabric makes it interesting but still doesn't warrant the price, bit expensive for what it is as the fabric is cheap. Of course it will be crinkly when just out of the bag but it blossoms. It fits true to size so no need to size up or down to get the model look.

Sprint's Samsung Galaxy S III gets KitKat update
0. phoneArena posted on 03 May 2014, 11:07
The Samsung Galaxy S III has proven to be an extremely popular handset, one that still finds buyers even when it is two generations old. On Friday, Sprint customers toting the former flagship model received an update to Android 4.4. While the update certainly includes bug fixes and improvements to performance and stability, those with the device might even find some of the newer Samsung features found on the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy S5...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

This is why Samsung is better than any other Android OEM. DO HTC's, Sony's or LG'S 2012 flagships even have Android 4.3, let alone KitKat They don't bother about their older phones. That's why they struggle in the Android market.
4. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1122; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
The HTC Droid DNA already got KitKat and it is a 2012 device, with that being said the One X was dropped due to Nvidia failing to provide drivers, Samsung is giving great support to their users, let's hope this update is bug free unlike the 4.3 one tho.
5. refillable (Posts: 1070; Member since: 10 Mar 2014)
Nexus 4 does have Kitkat, but you may not count it though. It's a Nexus afterall. Also Droid DNA and HTC Butterfly do have 4.4.2.
Samsung and HTC: Few Updates
Other OEM: No updates
10. 0xFFFF (Posts: 3806; Member since: 16 Apr 2014)
KitKat kinda sucks on the Nexus 4 too. Personally, I don't think "having KitKat" isn't all that important for older devices.
12. hritikbhimani (Posts: 29; Member since: 08 Jan 2012)
Apparantly in case of sony..their flagships of 2012 i.e. xperia t and v were updated to android v4.3 a month back and they are still in process for kitkat
So i dnt see hw does dat make samsung any better den them....n ya nt to forget..sammy isnt updating the international gs3 wid 1gb ram citing it doesnt hav enough resources to run samsung touch wiz smoothly.....(as far as i knw kitkat can run well even for 512mb devices)
3. alumoyo (Posts: 369; Member since: 26 Aug 2013)
Ashamed to admit I'm a bit of a Samsung hater - but when it comes to updates, they are WAY better than ANYBODY ELSE in the android game. Keep up the good work!
6. noim1 (Posts: 297; Member since: 15 May 2012)
samsung knows how to keep their top tier customers happy . and that is proven by the sales number
7. somad (Posts: 169; Member since: 17 Apr 2014)
OMG it's already May and no kitkat yet for galaxy note 3 verizon. .. really is this fair??

13. GreekGeek (Posts: 1276; Member since: 22 Mar 2014)
yet I already got my KitKat Note 2 DN3 RoM two weeks ago working ''flawlessly'' lol
11. DnB925Art (Posts: 1061; Member since: 23 May 2013)
Next up will be the Sprint Note 2. If the Sprint S3 just got it, my Sprint Note 2 should be forthcoming.

It isn't just the patient that can be devastated by a diagnosis of breast cancer. Sometimes it hits spouses hard, and experts say they might need support, too.
It might just need to be administered differently.
"Your life is going along with all of its normal ups and downs.
"And this is just such a different world that you are suddenly introduced to that you just need to kind of normalize a little bit," said the Rev. Jeff Flowers, the director of chaplains for Georgia Health Sciences University.
"You need some outlet to be able to say, 'Help me understand what is going on and what I need to do to try to come to grips with it.' "
The Rev. Hank Flowers, the director of pastoral care at University Hospital and no relation to Jeff, has run a men's support group in conjunction with the Pink Magnolias breast cancer support group, although sometimes few, if any, men show up regularly for it.
"The good thing was a lot of men who had been there for a while could share with them, 'Here's what you are going to go through, here's the path you are probably going to take, here's the medicines' " he said. "And kind of walk them through their journey, which made it so nice for them, particularly if they were younger men with younger wives."
There can be a feeling of frustration and helplessness, Hank Flowers said.
"The sad part is we men have got that fix-it mentality and all of a sudden they discover this is something they can't fix, something they are going to have to deal with and walk with their wife," he said. "We men sometimes have a tendency to run away from intimacy and it is a very intimate time of their life, too, because of what their wife is going through. It is out of their control."
Men seem to have two kinds of questions, the immediate and the more philosophical, Jeff Flowers said.
Sometimes it just means learning to bear with it and finding a way to get through it, Jeff Flowers said.
One husband told him life seems to begin again after each clear checkup.
"His expression was, 'Now I can breathe again,' " Jeff Flowers said.
And along with the frustration, there is often good news to share, he said.
"There are lots of people celebrating cures and remissions and life beyond," Jeff Flowers said. "Everyone who beats it, that is a wonderful story."

We have talked about one of the best kept secrets in bankruptcy cases when a Debtor is behind on a lease. Now, what happens if a Debtor is not behind? Once a Debtor files a petition in a Chapter 7 case, a Debtor takes on the responsibility, or the Trustee takes on the responsibility, to timely perform all obligations of the lease from the petition date until the lease is assumed or rejected. So, either the Debtor or the Trustee needs to stay current on the lease payments. If neither the Trustee nor the Debtor stays current on this duty, the Landlord may seek relief from the automatic stay.
Keep in mind that this process is different than the 30 day automatic stay termination because the Debtor is current going into the petition. The remedy of a motion to seek relief from the automatic stay must be filed because the 30 day automatic stay termination rule does not apply in this situation. The time line for the motion to seek relief from the automatic stay is generally a 90 day process.
Nevertheless, there are certain duties that a Debtor must ensure are completed in a Chapter 7 case even if the Debtor is current on the lease payment. The Code provides that a lease agreement is automatically rejected if the trustee does not assume or reject the lease within 60 days after the bankruptcy case is filed with the court. Therefore, the Debtor can be current and, 60 days after the bankruptcy was filed, the landlord can consider the lease rejected.
If the lease is rejected, the lease is considered to be breached as of the day before the bankruptcy filing and the landlord is entitled to repossess the premises pursuant to the remedies provided by State Law. The landlord is also then entitled to pre-petition damages as well as "rejection damages." Rejection damages are determined as either 15 percent of the balance of the rent reserved in the lease or the rent reserved for one year from the filing date or surrender date.
So what can a landlord do if a Debtor is current and wants to keep the lease agreement in tact but the Debtor, due to failure of his counsel to indicate a rejected lease or assumed lease, has caused the landlord to be in limbo as to his intent. The landlord, through counsel, can file a motion requesting that the Debtor reject or assume the lease agreement.
As you can see, there are duties on behalf of both the Debtor and the landlord with respect to Title 11 that allow the parties to take appropriate actions in the court system with respect to lease agreements. The attitude often is that nothing must be stated if the Debtor is current, but that attitude is completely wrong pursuant to Title 11. Both the Debtor and the landlord should and must take steps to protect their interest in the lease agreement.
The effect of the Debtor not taking the right steps to complete his duties can result in the Debtor losing out on a property that he likes to live in, wants to live in, and can afford to live in. On the other hand, the landlord not taking the right steps in a Chapter 7 case could result in the harm of not being provided the remedies that are available to the landlord for protection.
The real issue is having an attorney understanding the duties when representing both the Debtor as well as the landlord.

U.S. Weighs Rescue of Mortgage Giants
Saturday, July 12, 2008
Senior government officials prepared emergency steps yesterday to rescue troubled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac but stopped short after a campaign of public statements eased immediate concerns about the stability of the institutions.
But federal regulators were forced yesterday to seize California-based IndyMac Bancorp after a run by depositors led to the second-largest failure ever of a U.S. financial institution. The bank, which was taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., became the first major bank to shutter its doors since the savings and loan crisis of the early 1990s. One of the country's largest home lenders, IndyMac saw its holdings battered by the downturn in the housing market.
Similar troubles have buffeted Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as anxiety has risen about whether the companies have enough capital to cover their mounting obligations because of troubled mortgages. With the companies' stock value draining away in recent days, Treasury Department and Federal Reserve officials have been discussing several dramatic options, including allowing the companies to swap some of their holdings in troubled securities for public money as well as accessing government loans, according to government officials and others informed about the measures. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac might also be allowed to tap an expanded line of credit from the Treasury.
Such actions would be the first explicit statement by the government that it stands behind the two companies, though investors have long considered a federal guarantee to be implicit. That recognition alone could prove more valuable than the cash.
Some of the measures being considered bear a striking resemblance to the lifeline federal regulators extended to Wall Street's biggest banks earlier this year in an effort to head off a global financial crisis and underscore the peril posed by the potential failure of either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
The Treasury has been developing contingency plans along these lines since at least 2006 but has done far more extensive work -- and with more urgency -- in the past two weeks as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's problems have deepened.
These steps are an effort to prevent a full federal government takeover of the companies, which could occur if they are deemed insolvent. Such an arrangement, called conservatorship, would mean that taxpayers would have to cover the potentially tremendous losses on any mortgages the companies own or guarantee.
In recent months, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's role in underpinning the housing market has grown as other financial institutions have fled the credit markets. The companies, chartered by the federal government to keep funds flowing to mortgage lenders, pool mortgages into securities for sale to investors. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pledge they will cover the payments if borrowers default, and they also buy and hold their own mortgage investments.
Together, they bought about two-thirds of the single-family-home mortgages that originated from January to March of this year, according to their regulator, the Office Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight.
But the companies face questions from investors about whether they have enough capital to cover their obligations, and a loss of faith in them could make it impossible to raise more money.
Yesterday morning, the share prices of both companies fell by about 50 percent, with Freddie Mac trading at $3.89 at one point. After all the public statements, however, the shares of both companies regained some of the lost ground. Freddie Mac finished the day down 3.1 percent, and Fannie Mae was off 22.4 percent.
Freddie Mac's stocks have now tumbled 88 percent since their high in 2006, and Fannie Mae shares are off 85 percent since their recent peak last year.

Almost lost in yesterday's brouhaha over Standard & Poor's warning about the latest proposal for bondholder participation in a new Greek bail-out was a report published by the European Commission that, for the first time, publicly detailed just how much money Greece will need in a new three-year rescue: €172bn.
We mentioned that eye-popping figure in our coverage this morning, but the 165-page report – a detailed overview of the Commission's findings during the run-up to this month's €12bn aid payment – is worth a more thorough review, since it contains a lot of interesting details on just what the Greek rescue programme looks like.
As the report makes clear, it's important to note that €57bn of that €172bn will be covered by Greece's existing bail-out, which was scheduled to run through mid-2013. Of the remaining €115bn, Greece has vowed to raise €30bn on its own through a massive privatization effort. That leaves eurozone governments and the International Monetary Fund on the hook for the remaining €85bn. Read more

Exhibit A
Pepsi knows a thing or two about the zeitgeist. Their latest television commercial shows youth icon Ranbir Kapoor harassing MS Dhoni. Ranbir instructs the India captain to lose his good manners at the World Twenty20. "Yeh T20 hai, boss*," he says. "Yeh na tameez se khela jata hai, na tameez se dekha jaata hai."
It's unclear if Pepsi formed this cringeworthy opinion by watching only those games that Munaf Patel has played. But they are probably right in suggesting that the game has changed since the time the old fogies at Marylebone Cricket Club defined the Spirit of Cricket. Which brings us to...
Exhibit B
At the U-19 World Cup recently, Bangladesh's Soumya Sarkar mankaded Australia's Jimmy Pierson. Australia asked Bangladesh to reconsider their appeal. Bangladesh didn't budge. They had a quarterfinal to win. Australia's coach Stuart Law showed his progressive outlook by not whinging about cricket's spirit being violated by the run-out. "It is in the laws of cricket... it is out," he said. The interesting bit here is that a U-19 team stood by their actions despite the associated taboo. Senior teams have tended to be old school with such touchy matters.
You'd be surprised by the things that were once taboo in cricket. Till around the 1860s, over-arm bowling was illegal. All bowling was under-arm and later round-arm. Then, one Edgar Willsher trashed the round-arm laws of the mid-19th century. Helped by his defiance, the art of bowling evolved. With the development of over-arm bowling, progressions such as reverse swing, the breaking of speed barriers, the googly, the doosra and many more happened. Without Willsher's catalytic rebellion, you'd still be seeing bowlers making dull under-arm lobs. Try that for a spectator sport.
Then, there's the reverse-sweep. In a domestic game in the 1920s, KS Duleepsinhji changed his stance from right to left and played a ball to third-man. The opposition considered this "unfair play" — an expression you'll see multiple times in that MCC preamble — and appealed for his wicket. The umpires obliged. The reverse-sweep didn't remain taboo, but very few batsmen played it till the 1990s. Now, it is everywhere. The game moved on.
So let's come to a part of the game that needs to move on.
This week, Surrey's Murali Kartik mankaded Somerset's Alex Barrow. Marcus Trescothick, the Somerset captain, played the incident by the book. "I'm very disappointed," he said. "It's not something you want to see in cricket. I've never witnessed anything like it before at any level. Theoretically, Alex was out, as we all know, but it was against the spirit of the game."
Note that the MCC preamble doesn't specifically frown upon mankading – it has happened many times in international cricket. It's a legal mode of dismissal that continues to be looked down upon by some cricketers. But Somerset fans directed abuse at Kartik. It's not like their captain is the standard bearer of cricketing ethics. England had won the 2005 Ashes with the help of some spectacular reverse swing bowling created in part by Trescothick illegally polishing the ball with peppermints. England owe their finest triumph of this generation to cheating.
Earlier this year, Ravichandran Ashwin had mankaded Sri Lanka's Lahiru Thirimanne. The worn-out 'spirit of the game' lines were pouted again. On air, Tom Moody called it "a shame". Virender Sehwag withdrew his appeal when prompted by the umpires. Sri Lanka captain Mahela Jayawardene said "I don't play like that." He then said, "The spirit of the game was the winner." No matter that Thirimanne continued to violate that spirit by repeatedly leaving his crease after the incident.
It's unclear why the spirit must keep winning at the cost of the game's laws. In 2011, Dhoni had run-out Ian Bell legally but was asked to withdraw his appeal. He obliged, and in doing so, violated Law 27.8 which says a batsman can't be recalled if he has left the field of play.
This concept of sporting spirit stems from cricket's amateurish days when Britain ruled the world. Cricket was one of the tools the empire used to further their beliefs and way of life. Courtesies and fairness were expected of the gentlemen who played the game. But the game has moved on.
In the professional era of sport, you don't make allowances for the opposition. Not mankading a batsman is one such allowance. In modern cricket, there are few Courtney Walshes, many Saleem Jaffers and so it is time the game moved on.
An interesting aside regarding the Pepsi commercial: Dhoni has won the IPL Fairplay award three times in five years. Don't expect him to start a riot in Sri Lanka.

Chopped All-Stars Begins: We Chat With the Round 1 Runner-Upby Sarah De Heer in Food Network Chef, Shows, April 7th, 2013
Tonight an all-new season of Chopped All-Stars began, and what better way to kick things off than pitting Food Network stars against their Cooking Channel counterparts? Stars dashed to deliver dishes before the clock ran out, and competitors bumped into each other, putting one chef's dish at risk. Needless to say there was no shortage of drama.
If you missed the show and recorded it, don't read any further — FN Dish is about to break down the episode and chat with the runner-up.
The Baskets:
Appetizer: Veggie terrine, galangal, banana bread and mango juice
Entree: Rack of venison, seafood pepper pot soup, potato pierogies and okra
Dessert: Purple Okinawan sweet potatoes, coconut flakes, Calvados and marshmallows
Elimination Details:
First Round: Nadia G.
Second Round: Gabriele Corcos
Final Round: Jeff Mauro
Winner: Sunny Anderson
Judges: Chris Santos, Geoffrey Zakarian and Maneet Chauhan
Jeff Mauro is the newest Burger Bash champ and the undoubted Sandwich King, but he couldn't take the heat in the Chopped kitchen today — he lost to Sunny Anderson in the dessert round.
What was it like competing against your fellow peers?
JM: It was fun. I love Sunny Anderson. She is my Food Network best friend, and we get along splendidly. She makes me laugh, I make her laugh. So it works out perfectly. We bonded immensely after this round of Chopped. Nadia G. is also a character and fun to be around. Gabriele is a hoot with no filter, which I can always appreciate.
Which basket did you have the most trouble with?
JM: That's a good question. Each basket had a troubling ingredient in it to me. Maybe that first basket in the appetizer round with the banana bread — and that banana bread — and that banana bread. Do you see where I'm going with this? It tripped me up. I still went in thinking "sandwiches," and I think I made a dainty, elegant plate. That was my goal out of the gate. I didn't want to create an appetizer that would blow their palate out immediately.
Did you go into this competition thinking you'd be making three sandwiches?
JM: I wanted to go in inspired by sandwiches. And everything was inspired by a sandwich, whether it was the tartine or the meat inside the pierogi. My last dish was made with chips, and that's a sandwich's best friend. I always have to represent the sandwich.
Was there any one ingredient you've never worked with before?
JM: The vegetable terrine and galangal. Everything else I've met along the way.
Do you think Food Network Star helped you prepare for this?
JM: Oh, yes. Food Network Star helped me prepare for this competition because I'm used to this process now. But it might be a hindrance, as well, because it kind of puts me back in that place where I don't want to ever go again! It raises the fear and anxiety levels and you're like, "Hey, I don't want to be doing this right now — I'm nervous, I'm anxious, I'm going to blow it." It's a double-edged sword. But I'll always be grateful to Star.
Going along with that, then, would you do this again? This is your second time in the Chopped kitchen. Is the third time a charm?
JM: Absolutely not. I'm done! I think I've satisfied my Chopped craving. I think I did good; I showcased a lot of techniques today. I'm more than happy doing Sandwich King and $24 in 24.
This is an All-Star competition, so who are some of your personal all-stars that you look up to?
JM: Geoffrey Zakarian, which made today even harder because he was a judge on the show. I just have a revolving image of him in my head. When he competes on Chopped or Iron Chef America, he always has the cleanest station. I keep that in my head. You start off with a clean station, but it's hard to end up that way. So he's definitely my inspiration.
