Mayhem # 2605253
About MeName is Sam, and I'm based in L.A. I am an internationally published photographer (AUS/US/SWE), I've won "picture of the day" on OneModelPlace several times. I don't say this to brag, but more to explain that I put a lot of time and energy into my work, so I will expect the same from you.
I'm open to TFP assignments for concept/modeling shoots for the right kind of project. I don't do headshots TFP, sorry.
I'm looking to network with models, other photographers, MUAs, and people in the industry. I love meeting new people, and I love shooting creative stuff.
I'm very easy to work with, and always professional.
As I get the question of bringing friends/boyfriends/hangarounds quite often, here is my answer: You are welcome to bring someone, BUT they will have to hang out in the lounge OUTSIDE the shooting area if we shoot in the studio, and they are not allowed on location shoots. I don't like having anyone not involved in the shoot in the room/area, sorry.

From stick insects to donkeys, Greathouse care home's extensive lawn was filled with all creatures great and small on Sunday.
The home in Kington Langley, which provides services for adults with physical and learning disabilities, held a diverse pet show to raise funds to take their residents on day trips.
About 100 visitors took along an array of animals to show off, making for a far from dreary day despite the weather.
The rain made it difficult to have wheelchairs on the grass, so all the dogs and even the donkeys were taken inside to meet the residents.
Activities assistant Julia Tuck said: "We took the donkeys, Dermot and Charlie, into their rooms. It was wonderful, the highlight of the day for many of our residents.
"There was a tortoise named Nigel, a Chinese crested hairless thing crossed with a pug that looked like a gremlin, a 12-week-old St Bernard puppy that was a giant already, and a 16-year-old poodle that was deaf and blind. They were all lovely."
The maintenance man made a podium and they even had a category for best soft toy so all the residents could join in the competitions.
The money is still being counted but it is hoped there will be enough to take the residents on day trips to London.
Mrs Tuck said: "We'd really like to take them to see the London Eye and aquarium. A lot have never been to London. For you and I, we find it easy to hop on a train, but it becomes quite epic trying to sort out something like that for our residents."
Organisers plan to have a rave one night in the summer, until 4am. Mrs Tuck said: "We are not an old people's home. About half of our residents are aged under 35."

Below are some brief biographical details of
various artists who work with the community
art centre at Nyapari (Tjungu Palya Artists).
Born: c. 1920
Language: Pitjantjatjara
Community: Nyapari, South Australia
Eileen was born in the bush at Makiri in the north-west corner of South Australia between what are now the communities of Kaltjiti and Watarru. Her father was a Yangkunytjatjara man and her mother a Pitjantjatjara woman but Stevens identified herself as belonging to the Pitjantjatjara.
She grew up in the bush, living a traditional, nomadic way of life. When Eileen was a young woman she worked at Ernabella mission milking goats. "I was a hard worker at the mission, but it was good." Her husband also worked at Ernabella chopping trees for building projects. Later they came to Nyapari, Eileen's husband's country, after it was established in the mid-1970s.
She did not begin painting professionally until 2004, very late in her life. Her husband had died by that time and Stevens had become close friends with Wingu Tingima (see below). Tingima was already established as an artist and the two women began to paint for Nyapari's local community art centre, Tjungu Palya, after it was opened in 2006. Although she had a short career of less than four years, her art was immediately recognised and she had considerable success. She died in 2008.
Born: c. 1915
Language: Pitjantjatjara
Community: Kanpi, South Australia
Jimmy was born along the Kalaya Tjukurpa (Emu Dreaming) track in the Western Desert at a rockhole called Malumpa (close to the present day community of Kanpi). He remembers as a young boy 'whitefellas' coming in on camels and asking to be led to waterholes. Later Jimmy moved to the mission at Ernabella where he worked as a shearer using hand held clippers. After the mission days Jimmy, along with key family members, promoted the establishment of a community at Kanpi so that they could live back in their own country.
Jimmy started painting in 2004, late in his life, and was already attracting attention by the time the 2005 Desert Mob exhibition was held in Alice Springs. In 2007 Jimmy was featured in the National Indigenous Art Triennial `07: Culture Warriors exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.
Jimmy was a custodian of the important Kalaya Tjukurpa (Emu Dreaming) as well as a number of other dreamings. When talking to Jimmy, he made no distinction between himself and the emu in the story. The man and the dreaming are one. "Me, I'm the emu. Me. I ate that turkey. Me. I did. See here (pointing to his breast bone where he bears a scar). See him there, that's where I ate him."
Jimmy spent his final years between Kanpi, Watarru and Alice Springs and passed away in 2010.
Born: c. 1952
Language: Pitjantjatjara
Community: Kanpi, South Australia
Maringka was born in the bush at Kaliumpil, a rock hole and traditional camping area in Western Australia. Maringka's parents died when she was a little girl and she was raised by the artist Anmanari Brown and members of her extended family. She spent much time with her brothers.
started school at Warburton in WA but she ran away and
travelled with her brother to Ernabella in SA. After a
while they moved to Fregon where she finished her schooling
and began teaching. Later she got a certificate in health
and worked at the Irrunjtyu community clinic. She now
works mainly at Kanpi in SA.
Maringka's works are held in a number of major public and private collections. She and Jimmy Baker were represented in the the inaugural National Indigenous Art Triennial Culture Warriors exhibition at the National Gallery of Australia.
She often paints the desert landscape in bright green colours and contrasts it against red and ochre to depict landforms. She also uses layers of contrasting colours to show the detail of the desert in full bloom.
Born: c.1938
Language: Pitjantjatjara
Community: Kalka, South Australia
Nyankulya was born at Mt Aloysius, at a rockhole not far from the tri state border, sometime around 1938. As a teenager she lived at Anumarapiti, now an outstation of Irrunytju. She remembers shortly after this time white fellas came and told her family to go to Ernabella. "It was good at the mission, there was lots of flour, tea and sugar. In the morning we would listen for the bell, then we would line up for food, go to church and then to work. Nyankulya was a founding member of Irrunytju Arts. She now lives at Kalka and Nyapari in SA.
Born: 1945
Language: Pitjantjatjara
Community: Watarru, Western Australia
Born: 1950s
Language: Pitjantjatjara
Community: Kanpi, South Australia
Born: c. 1920
Language: Pitjantjatjara
Community: Nyapari, South Australia
Wingu was born at a rockhole called Nyumun, in the Great Victoria Desert of WA. She grew up living a traditional way of life in the bush without any contact with the outside world. "I didn't go to school I was a bush girl!"
Later she travelled by foot with her mother and father to the mission at Ernabella, where she worked spinning wool to make things for the mission. She enjoyed this work.
Along with her friend and colleague Eileen Yaritja Stevens, Wingu became one of the most well-known artists to paint in the style of the Western Desert. Although she only began painting less than 10 years before her death, Wingu's work is now held in many of Australia's major art collections.
She lived at Nyapari in SA and Irrunytju in WA, spending time with her two families. She died in 2010.

Randgold Resources Ld
27 March 2003
For further information call: (CEO) Mark Bristow +44 779 775 2288
Johannesburg, 27 March 2003 - The consolidation of the global gold mining
industry has masked its stagnation over the past five years and it now urgently
needs to make new discoveries, says Dr Mark Bristow, chief executive of Randgold
Bristow says the industry's combined exploration expenditure peaked in 1997 and
since then has dropped off sharply to less than a third of that level. Over the
same period, the number of active gold mining companies has shrunk by some 15%.
The new gold supply has grown by a mere 1.5% year on year since 1991, before
making any deductions for hedging,
'There has in effect been a steady decline in production, which has been masked
by the frenzy of consolidation in the industry over the past few years.
However, while consolidation can preserve or unlock existing value, the only way
to create new value is through exploration, development and innovation. Quite
simply, as an industry, we need to find more new viable gold mines,' says
The London and Nasdaq listed Randgold Resources is one of the few gold companies
that has continued to invest substantially in exploration - and as a result of
this strategy, discovered the Morila deposit in Mali and developed it into one
of the world's top 10 gold mines, which in 2002 topped the million-ounce-per
year production mark. The company has also built up extensive groundholdings
and an inventory of quality gold prospects and projects in Africa.
'It is easy but unwise for producers to allow themselves to be seduced by the
whims and fashions of a market that is notoriously volatile. Randgold
Resources' success in creating value and delivering returns, on the other hand,
is based on a coherent, consistently applied strategy of generating organic
growth opportunities through an aggressive exploration programme coupled with
shrewd risk evaluation,' Bristow said.
The western, central and eastern regions of Africa, where Randgold Resources has
a major footprint, remains one of the world's most attractive gold exploration
areas. Other high-potential zones, according to Bristow, are the western
seaboard of South America, central Europe and, to the east, Indonesia and the
Pacific Rim.
'If you want to increase your chances of a discovery, you have to go to areas
that are prospective but well off the beaten track. The difficulty of accessing
these areas, and the shortage of information about them, pose a real challenge
to explorers. It is these same barriers to entry, however, that also make such
areas potentially so rewarding to the knowledgeable and intrepid explorer,' he
Issued on behalf of Randgold Resources Limited by du Plessis Associates.

Lisa Rinna Got a Bit Too Cheeky
In a new interview with parenting site MomLogic, jumbo-lipped actress Lisa Rinna talks candidly about her facial-feature enhancing woes and her upcoming stint in Playboy.
"I had Juvederm put in my cheeks. That's what I overdid—big time," Lisa, 45, admits. "I tried it because my girlfriends did it. I thought: I'll do it! I saw a photo and I was like, 'Oh Jesus. That's no good. That's NOT good.'"
It's not the first time Rinna has spoken out about the overzealous packing of her face with Juvederm. In November she told Us that she'd learned the error of her cosmetic surgery ways after being shocked by a photo of herself.
"What I learned is that I don't really need it," Rinna continues with MomLogic. "You get older and insecure and you think you need it and you don't. I learned less is more. Keep your skin good.
"But, I still like Botox. It's great! It doesn't change the shape of my face. When you change your face, you don't look like yourself. Looking fresher is one thing. I look like a freak!"
Freakishness aside, the onetime Melrose Place star is slated to appear sans clothing in the pages of Playboy soon.
"[Posing] can be a way of expressing yourself and your sexuality. You can control it and control your image," Lisa explains. "I view sexuality in a different way. It doesn't mean you're a victim. Doing this can be a strong and powerful choice."
And as for her '90s gig on Melrose Place, she says she'd jump at the opportunity to appear on the upcoming re-tooled modern version of the show set to air in the 2009-2010 season.
"That was my favorite show I've ever done. I loved that show," says Rinna. "I loved playing Taylor."
Fans of the actress can catch her on the TV Guide Channel this Sunday, doing red carpet coverage with Joey Fatone at the Golden Globe Awards.
The author of Celebrity Cosmetic Surgery, the most popular blog by a plastic surgeon in the country, says
2009 will bring with it a plethora of new extreme, bizarre, and unusual plastic surgeries. 2008 brought us such plastic surgery oddities as cosmetic leg lengthening, the G Shot, the Boob Jab, and the Acupuncture Facelift. I expect fringe medical practitioners to do the same in 2009. Can we expect to see actual rib removal to thin the body, removal of the omentum (fat around the intestines) to decrease a protuberant tummy, or tummy tucks performed at the time of C-sections? Not by me!

Starting from Monday, March 4 and running until Friday, March 8 inclusive, workers will down tools in protest over the 3,807 redundancies planned by the airline as a consequence of restructure plans.
Employees have already presented viable alternatives, including methods of increasing productivity and with pilots even proposing to take a 26-per-cent pay cut, but these have been rejected by the company's management and negotiations have reached stalemate.
This means that next week, 431 Iberia flights, 100 Iberia Express, 316 Vueling and 434 Air Nostrum flights will be cancelled a total of 1,281, or 59 more than during the previous five-day strike last week.
Flights through other firms such as Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa could also be cancelled or suffer delays since Iberia's ground staff provide services to up to 120 companies in Spanish airports.
Those flights which do take off are likely to see long delays.
Anyone due to fly into or out of Spain, particularly with one of the four Iberia affiliates, should check with their airline to ensure their trip will still go ahead.
A further five-day strike is planned for the week of March 18 to 22, which will affect travellers going away for the Saint Joseph's Day public holiday on March 19, when the massive Fallas festival is held in the Comunidad Valenciana attracting thousands of tourists.
Minister for public works and infrastructure, Ana Pastor, has arranged for an independent mediator to solve the deadlock between Iberia and its workers, but as yet nothing concrete has happened.
For each day Iberia staff are on strike as is their legal right the company is set to lose 10 million euros.

umm i cant see anyone elses posts?
Will this app replace the system notification sounds for email and sms, or it will just add custom tones?
dinky (2007-07-24)
I'm having trouble getting passed the "unlock the phone" phase.. it just stays stuck on the "busy" colored spinwheel icon-
This program is GREAT. The only reason I was stuck at the beachball icon in step 3 was because I didn't put the phone into recovery mode. I didn't initially read the wiki. Thank you so much. Did you personally create this program - Poetic???
Last edited by f00fighters; 2007-07-24 at 03:20 AM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost
This is brilliant, excellent work, I cant wait until system sounds etc. are included. Great Job guys.
Much, much easier for me than the original custom ringtones guide (with jailbreak). Thanks for sharing the great app and the wiki! Worked flawlessly!
Glad our little guide helped. Props to the dev!
Anyone else having issues with iFuntastic?? I followed the wiki to the letter on my MBP and iFuntastic locks up somewhere between step 3 and 4, after I have clicked on 4. I put the phone in recovery mode without a problem, but the software doesn't seem to recognize it. iPhoto, iTunes and iTunes helper all have been quitted and I am monitoring things in the Activity Monitor.
Each time iFuntastic rejects the process and brings me back to step 3.
Any ideas??? Does it matter if your music is in .mp3 or .m4a?? Should it have an extension or not? I have tried both .mp3 and .m4a, both with extensions.
If the program hangs while waiting for jailbreak, simply Force Quit it and start it again.
Now all we need is a program like this for SKINS!!! iFantastic Rocks!
I have force quit the program and started again, and the same thing keeps happening. Although once I selected the skip option and I was able to complete the process. Now that I thought I had figured it out, I tried to do it again and can not repeat the process. Is there some trick after you unlock, then have to force quit, where I should start off???
this is great thanks..can't stand them damn ringtones.
To add to the troubleshooting, I have noticed that the process iphoneinterface utilizes a large part of the CPU when iFuntastic is trying to communicate with the iphone in recovery mode. Force quitting iFuntastic several times will create multiple processes of iphoneinterface
I have seen some postings elsewhere of people having this lockup issue, but no other solution than force quitting iFuntastic and reloading it. I am trying to figure out if this is just a user error (me), but I am usually pretty good with this kind of thing
How about the same app for PowerPc - Please make it universal
I occasionally have issues with it as well. To be honest, I use iphoneinterface and Terminal still, its less buggy.
any news on when something like this will be available to replace system sounds? But then again i can always use Terminal
I was afraid of this. It looks like I'm going to have to find a mac just so I can run the software to mod my phone.

These explanations/examples from my past I hope answer the other questions. I want to know where video games are taking us. Can our consumerism steer us down a path of entertainment that is actually providing training and life skills for the future (see Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card). What I would not be prepared for is a backlash from anti-video gamers that leads to the abolishment of video games or, as appears to be a growing trend in psychology and sociology, a vilianization of the video game industry and the negative effects of long hours or FPS gaming that teach very little. Only in a few cases do some FPS games teach sportsmanship and teamwork. Most of the time, FPS games are not much more than the version of football where one kid plays quarterback and everyone just runs long for a pass. If you don't run fast because your out of shape or shorter than the other players, you'll rarely touch the ball, if ever. But there are games out there that teach about history, politics, finance, transportation and logistics. Granted, many are based on war/battle scenarios but consumerism dictates that. As was pointed out in the non-animated version of 101 Dalmations by a kid tester of video games, what is important for kids is the ability to annihilate. Maybe if parents exerted more control on the video game industry, this desire could shift and video games could become an integral part of education.

Exploring Cultural Anthropology
Ideal vs. Actual Cultural Patterns
Let me throw this out: It goes back to *****'s comments but I think it works in this line as well. Cultural patterns evolve out of what is best for the society, so the book says. Here's my problem with that. If society makes up all its own rules without some thing (or God) that is above the social order establishing foundational rules upon which the society can build, eventually the society plummets into a hedonistic chaos. This is what I mean, staying with cohabitation as the example merely for discussion's sake. Why has cohabitation been taboo for so many centuries? Was humanity just totally ignorant or too immature to handle such a thing before? Did humanity, in the last 100 years or so just become so intelligent and responsible that cohabitation is really the way people should live? Maybe, just maybe, the social norm that was practiced in centuries past was on to something. Maybe, our great, great, great, great, great, great grandparents knew there are some lines we humans shouldn't cross. But today we're so much more evolved than they were, right? I mean, we know what's best for ourselves, don't we? Those old rules and traditions don't apply today because, well, we have cell phones and computers and the cost of living is so much higher and contraceptives are so much more effective and....
Many ACPs based on morality and the difference between right/wrong or good/bad seem to be overruled each generation earlier and earlier. It's human nature to seek out the limits of our choices, the precipice over whose edge we know comes pain. But without God, or some thing greater than humanity, telling us where the edge of that precipice is, we groap around in the dark constantly looking for moral boundaries, ignoring the warnings and councils of generations past. And like always, those who fall over the edge are looked at as exceptions to the norm. That won't happen to us, right? Those folks were careless and didn't take the right precautions. We don't take those kind of chances.
ICPs are so important. I'm and idealist and that causes some conflict in my life but I know that if we don't minimize the gaps between our ACPs and ICPs, we risk a lot more than humanity wants to admit.

Anthropological studies and social problems
The study of humankind is such a huge undertaking. The amount of variables that exist with in just a single family are enormous when comparing it to the family next door. And today, the very concept of family is undergoing a reconstruction; or at least a redfining of what is family. What I find most intriguing is anthropology's search to understand the whys of the past to help us anticipate the destinations of the future.
For example: Polygamy - does it have a place today in our society? Anthropology can seek to understand the impact the polygamist family framework might have had at times in the past and extrapolate its benefits and consequences for today. Right now, I don't think anthropology can solve social problems but rather sheds light on potential outcomes of our choices today based on the choices of the past. Anthropolgical study of same sex marriage in ancient Greece may provide some insight into how the United States of America might mold its society to allow for this new familial framework to exist. However, it could also expose potential dangers to a society that embraces the practice and what the United States of America is getting itself into if same-sex marriage becomes a social norm. (Please keep in mind I'm not arguing the rights/wrongs of eith polygamy or same-sex marriage. They're just two examples I picked.)
But here's the real issue, in my opinion: as we study the past and relate it to the present, can we be unbiased and open to the potential future anthropological studies forecast? When voices from the dust whisper or shout to us, are we really listening? I'm thinking of the parent-child analogy where the findings of anthropology are the parent and we, the students of anthropology, are the child.

Report: Man United's Marcos Rojo could be out for extended period
Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo could be out for an extended period of time after dislocating his shoulder during Sunday's loss to Manchester City.
Rojo could miss at least six weeks if the injury is minor and up to three months if the shoulder requires surgery, according to The Telegraph.
Despite media reports, Rojo's father said the injury was "not too severe" and that the defender would miss only two or three games, according to The Guardian.
Rojo will miss Saturday's match against Crystal Palace, but there has been no other official word on his return.
• BERLIN: Derby revealed nerves for both Man City, United
Manchester United is already without Phil Jones, Jonny Evans and Rafael da Silva due to injuries. Additionally, Chris Smalling will face a one-match suspension against Crystal Palace after picking up a red card in the 1-0 derby loss.
Rojo played for Sporting Lisbon before Manchester United acquired him as a transfer in August and signed him to a five-year contract.
Manchester United is tied for ninth in the Premier League table with 13 points, having gone 3-3-4 in 10 games this season.

Petter Solberg celebrated a second Rally Sweden victory on Saturday as he dominated the Historic event in his Ford Escort MkII.
In what is likely to be his last rally of the year before he switches to rallycross for the rest of the season, Solberg delighted big crowds on the Swedish stages.
"I have had so much fun," said Solberg. "It's been absolutely fantastic. There have been so many people out there just waving us on like mad."
The Historic event included a single run through the Vargasen stage on Friday, before the Sagen, Fredriksberg, Rammen and Hagfors Sprint tests on day two.
Solberg and his co-driving wife Pernilla suffered a gearbox problem on the sole Friday stage, which meant the Norwegians spent Saturday devoid of reverse.
"There was a bit of pressure with no reverse gear," said Solberg, "but it was no problem. Pernilla and I worked well together.
"I know Pernilla is standing next to me, but trust me, she did a fantastic job on the pace notes!
"It was nice to be back in these stages and the noise... did you hear it? It was amazing, 10,400 revs - fantastic!"

According to Us, Keith Urban is keeping his fingers crossed in hopes that his 16-month-old daughter, Sunday Rose, will become a singer just like her dad.
"She's got some pipes," says Keith. "I think she sounds quite musical. I sit at the piano with her in the morning and we mash the keys together."
The 42-year-old country crooner, who married Nine star Nicole Kidman in 2006, says he was honored to have her in the audience at Sunday's American Music Awards: "I've never won anything with Nic sitting in the audience before. It was beautiful to have [Nicole] there tonight. She's such a huge inspiration for everything I do."
Keith took home the award for Favourite Male Country Artist, which he dedicated to his wife and daughter.

The end of another big week. Parliament rises later tonight and will resume on Monday.
To sum up:
* the opposition changed its mind on party funding and told the govenrment it could no longer support the legislation;
* the opposition says community sentiment was the reason behind its change of heart while the government says this is proof the opposition is not to be trusted;
* the Greens and cross bench say it is a victory for people power;
* Labor Senator David Feeney has emerged as the contender to replace former Martin Ferguson in the seat of Batman; and
* someone threw a sandwich at the PM. Again.
Big thanks to Andrew Meares (who broke sandwichgate) and Alex Ellinghausen for their photographs. An especially big thanks to the readers and contributors whose wit on sandwichgate gave me more than a few chuckles.
See you on Monday morning, bright and early.
At 3.19pm I posted a picture of the opposition's foreign affairs spokesman, Julie Bishop, as she left the chamber after being sent out for rowdy behaviour.
She offered a parting shot but no one quite heard it. Can you make it out from the video?
What did she say?
Deputy opposition leader Julie Bishop spits the dummy as she is ejected from parliament. But what did she say?
Before the curious incident of the salami sandwich we were focused on party funding and whether Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has been dodgy because he reneged on his deal with the government to support the legislation or has listened to the will of the people.
At 1.12pm I directed you to a story about who might get the nod from the Labor Party to run in former minister Martin Ferguson's seat of Batman.
Our Victorian state political reporter, Richard Willingham, has the news that Labor right heavy hitter David Feeney looks likely to get the nod.
The Minister for Childcare, Kate Ellis, cares not for sandwichgate:
Back to top
so, millions of $$ of extra funding for our children's education as another signs up, or a stray sandwich. Whats the important story here?!!— Kate Ellis (@KateEllisMP) May 30, 2013
Question time is over however the Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, has sought to clarify an allegation made by the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, in an earlier question. Ms Gillard said Mr Abbott had never asked for an ASIO briefing during the life of this Parliament. (This would be convenient for the government which has been subjected to the opposition's questions about their commitment to national security throughout the week.) But Mr Abbott produced a list of about 15 occasions on which he did receive briefings.
...and an adieu to her parliamentary colleagues until next week (when Parliament returns).
At least she leaves with her head held high....
And the deputy opposition leader, Julie Bishop, is also sent out of question time for interjecting too much.
This diminishes her chances of being able to pursue the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, as to whether the government is too soft on national security.
To you and me this man is the opposition's spokesman on immigration, Scott Morrison. To the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, he is "one of the masters of fear". Mr Morrison joins colleagues Peter Dutton and Ewen Jones in being required by the Speaker to leave the chamber. The Minister for Workplace Relations, Bill Shorten, is on a warning.Back to top
Halfway into question time and nothing on party funding.
In an otherwise drab question time (give them a break - it's Thursday and everyone wants to go home asap) but the Minister for Workplace Relations, Bill Shorten, makes a valiant attempt at humour by accusing the opposition of barracking for the "Sheriff of Nottingham".
At least he didn't say the opposition went for Collingwood.
The Opposition Leader likes to "go the biff" apparently, according to the Treasurer, Wayne Swan, who likes the phrase so much he uses it twice.
But it raised the ire of the opposition which succeeded in getting the Speaker, Anna Burke, to rule that Mr Swan should withdraw the comment (which he did).
This amuses the public gallery. The Speaker reminds the gallery it is a serious issue. Which it is. The opposition does not like mentions of the heated exchange, shall we call it, between Mr Abbott and a fellow student back in his boisterous youth.
Or you could go for the other question time.
LIVE in a few mins on #kattersqt - jump online & ask me anything!— Hon Bob Katter MP (@RealBobKatter) May 30, 2013
Question time.Back to top
The vision of sandwichgate.
Prime Minister cops another sandwich
RAW VISION: Captured from two different angles, a sandwich is thrown at the Prime Minister while she greets school students.
Here's independent MP Bob Katter presenting a copy of one of his trademark hats to the Indonesian ambassador, Nadjib Riphat Kesoema. He even put a ribbon on it.
The Minister for Defence Materiel, Mike Kelly, can rest easy (see 1.25pm post). The opposition has granted him a pair so that he might attend his United Nations arms treaty conference.
No, that's not a sandwich shield the ACT Chief Minister, Katy Gallagher, is holding. It's a copy of the agreement Ms Gallagher signed with the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, this morning regarding school funding (see 11.25am post and a full version of the story about education reform here).
Some other news and views to keep you going through until question time:
* chief political correspondent Mark Kenny has written this piece critical of Opposition Leader Tony Abbott's handling of the party funding issue;
* the letter showing Mr Abbott's initial support for the party funding deal can be seen here;
* the race to replace former minister Martin Ferguson in his ultra safe Melbourne seat is on;
* the Age's political editor, Michael Gordon, looks back on Mr Ferguson's career; and
* for those who haven't had enough of sandwichgate breaking news reporter Judith Ireland has filed this summary of the event.
PS. I'm really enjoying everyone's comments on sandwichgate. Yes, I know it's not the most important thing in the world but come one, it's hard to be witty and erudite about party funding. My favourites thus far are R.C from Sydney who pointed out "There is such a thing as a free lunch" and dexxter (sic) from Melbourne who said "This is what happens when politicians are hamming it up rather than governing". Nicely played peeps.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My brother-in-law says he can't be executor because of his felony. My mother-in-law passed away and he inherited everything; house, land cars,ect. and now he can't be executor? Please advise.
Even though I don't practice in New York, most states prohibit persons from serving as an executor when they have a felony conviction. Your brother in law should probably ask another sibling if they would serve as executor.Ask a similar question
Just because he gets all the assets from the estate does not entitle him to be executor. So he will not be the executor due to his felony status, but he is still entitled to receive what he is entitled to under the will. If the mother-in-law named an alternate executor, then that person is the one that should serve. If she did not name an alternate, then the court must approve a successor. Get with an experienced estates attorney to assist you here and with the estate administration generally.
Hope this helps. If you think this post was helpful, please check the thumbs up (helpful) tab below and/or designate my answer as best answer. Thanks.

That is in fact the law in New York. He may be able to designate someone else to be the administrator (I am assuming your mother-in-law died without a will). The worst case scenario is for the Court to appoint a public official to administer the estate. Many of the New York counties have an office of a public administrator. For other counties, I believe the County treasurer may have those functions. The fees for administering an estate under those conditions are as high as 12% of its value.

HAVING to clear foul water and sewage debris from your garden or road is an unpleasant task and most would argue unacceptable considering the amount paid in water rates.
This is particularly relevant to Slimbridge resident Denis Bannister, who has resigned himself to isolating his house from the nearby sewage system and use a portable toilet in his own home.
There are also health concerns, with passing vehicles visiting the popular Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Centre spraying foul water off the roads and onto nearby houses, eventually running into the River Cam.
There is clearly a difference in opinion between the Severn Trent and homeowners. This much was made evident when Stroud District Council received 35 letters of objection to a housing development largely with concerns about the sewage system.
Planning permission was refused for a number of reasons including the ambiguous responses from Severn Trent and a lack of confidence that the current system could cope, despite Severn Trent insisting it could.
Indeed, the main bone of contention for residents appears to be that they do not believe the company has reacted appropriately to all their concerns and complaints dating back to the 90s.
It is however encouraging to see Severn Trent manager Craig Bayliss appear quite enthusiastic about meeting parishioners at a public meeting next week to find some middle ground on what can be done.
Hopefully this will start a new era of better communication and developments.

Humans are wholly dependent on nature's cornucopia for food, clothing, shelter, many medicines, beer and wine — to name just a few of life's essentials and pleasures.
We also appear hardwired to control, dominate and undermine the complex systems of nature that serve us.
From a biological perspective, the greater the diversity of life on our planet, the more likely we are to survive disasters and calamities of our own and nature's doing. Even as we have come to understand this scientifically, however, humans still seem compelled to impose order on the world, eager that nature might serve us more efficiently. Hence it is not surprising that we love the practical simplicity of monoculture, despite its high long-term costs.
For centuries, the wheat, cotton and wood of monoculture farming have fed, clothed and sheltered us. But our increasing dependence on fewer and fewer species has brought tragedy as well.
Wikipedia, an Internet encyclopedia, defines monoculture as "the planting and cultivation of a single species over a substantial area, or the practice of relying on a very small number of species for agricultural purposes."
Despite its drawbacks, monoculture remains enticing to large-scale farmers and the rapidly expanding agribusiness sector.
Even Patrick Moore, the now 58-year-old Canadian cofounder and former director of the environmental group Greenpeace (from its inception in 1971 until 1986), is known to enthusiastically support industrial forestry. "Grow more trees, use more wood," he is quoted as saying.
But like a parental admonition to "eat up, because children somewhere in the world are starving," most everyone has heard about the Irish potato famine, and its implicit warning to sow and reap with caution.
This catastrophe came about because, by the 1800s, the Irish had come to depend on one particular variety of potato known as the Lumper, which they found easy to propagate. Soon, nearly all the potatoes being sown across Ireland were genetically identical, and provided most of Ireland's 8 million folk with their staple fare. That was until a potato blight swept the nation in 1846, and wiped out the crop for three years running. In the end, more than 1 million people died of starvation and disease, and another 1 million emigrated, most to North America and Australia.
The potato famine taught farmers an important lesson about maintaining genetic diversity. But, with ever more mouths to feed worldwide, and ever more money to be made, ease and efficiency have increasingly tended to trump sustainable husbandry.
So losses continue. In the 1970s, American farmers lost over $1 billion-worth of corn to a fungus that wiped out genetically identical plants, and in the 1980s millions of hectares of grapevines in California succumbed to a single variety of insect.
"The drawbacks and risks of excessive use of a single species are acknowledged and well understood in agriculture and agricultural science. This has led to a realization of the benefits of polyculture," Wikipedia notes.
But there are admitted benefits as well. A Web site at the University of Reading, England, lists some of the advantages of monoculture, including: the ability to reduce plant competition for nutrients, space and sunlight; the ability to control undesirable (unprofitable) plants; cost reductions through limited use of specialized machinery; and, maximized profits from growing high gross-margin crops. "Monocultures can take many forms and are not necessarily environmentally 'unsound,' " the entry concludes.
Moore, formerly of Greenpeace and now principal spokesman for the Vancouver- and Chicago-based Wood Promotion Network, would agree. "I have never been opposed to forestry and have always believed that wood is our most abundant and sustainable renewable material resource," he explains in an August 2003 online article by Bernadette Freund. "I believe the correct environmental policy is 'grow more trees — use more wood,' rather than the anti-environmental policy 'cut fewer trees — use less wood.' "
Moore, who got his doctorate in ecology from the University of British Columbia back in 1972, continued: "Forestry is one of the most environmentally defensible activities of our entire civilization. My support for forestry is not based on its economic benefits, which are important in their own right, but on the environmental benefits."
Nevertheless, Moore admits that monoculture forestry can pose problems. "I think the tendency to go to single-species forests with insufficient consideration for biodiversity can be a problem. . . . There is nothing wrong with single-species forestry, any more than there is anything wrong with single-species farming. But, it is a fact that monoculture forests often have less biodiversity than multispecies forests," he explains.
And this biological diversity is vital to maintaining life on the planet. The myriad ecosystems, plant and animal species, and genetic variations that comprise the natural world are essential to the health and vitality of nature, whether wild or domesticated, on farms or in forests. It is critical for human communities as well, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
The biodiversity of forests is particularly important to humans. "Forest trees and shrubs play a vital role in the daily life of rural communities in many areas, as sources of timber, fuelwood, food, fodder, essential oils, gums, resins and latex, pharmaceuticals, shade, as contributors to soil and water conservation, and as repositories of aesthetic, ethical, cultural and religious values," it states on the FAO's Web site. "Forest animals are a vital source of nutrition and income to many people, are used for medicinal purposes, have important cultural roles, and have vital roles in forest ecology, such as pollination, seed predation and dispersal, seed germination, herbivory, and predation on potential pest species," it continues.
Increasingly, however, plantation forests made up of single species, such as pine and eucalyptus, are replacing natural forests. According to an FAO survey in 2000, plantation forests then covered 187 million hectares worldwide — an area almost five times the size of Japan. Compare that with a similar survey done in 1995, which found 124 million hectares planted. In just five years, those two figures show, the global area of plantation forests increased by 50 percent.
Closer examination of that survey data shows that 62 percent of those plantations were in Asia (24 percent in China and 18 percent in India), with another 4.5 million hectares being planted annually across the globe, primarily in Asia and South America (91 percent). The most commonly planted tree was pine (20 percent), followed by eucalyptus (10 percent).
"Globally, 48 percent of the plantation forest estate was for industrial use, 26 percent was for non-industrial use [fuelwood, soil and water conservation, other] and 26 percent was not specified," the FAO's survey in 2000 reported.
The FAO assessment notes that although about 5 percent of forests worldwide are already plantations, "In the future, planted forests will have an increasing role in wood and non-wood forest products supply as natural forest areas available for this purpose decrease owing to deforestation or designation for conservation or other uses."
As these natural forests shrink, so does the biological diversity essential for the survival of all the plant and animal species that support the human race. "Genetic variation — at the levels of species, populations, individuals and genes — is an important part of biological diversity, since it is the basis of evolution and the adaptation of species to changes in the environment. Variation is also essential for selection and breeding to meet present and future human needs," states the FAO.
Since the vast majority of genetic resources worldwide are found in natural, unmanaged forests, from tropical rain forests to the boreal forests of the far north, there is an urgent need to protect and conserve our remaining forests and the wealth of biological diversity they shelter.
Unfortunately, too many politicians and policy-makers cannot see the forest for the trees, and seem to think that any forest is a good forest, even if all the trees are identical. After all, it's green, and green is also the color of money.
The World Rainforest Movement, a forest conservation organization, is particularly concerned that agribusiness plantations are rapidly fueling deforestation worldwide. "These plantations, promoted as 'planted forests,' are in reality crops — and not forests — and they are generally preceded by the clearcutting of the native forest ecosystem," the organization reports.
Farms, too, are being lost. In Uruguay, for example, 10 percent of the agricultural land has been planted with trees that will be chopped up, or chipped, for paper production. "Eucalyptus monoculture displaced the important cereal production [wheat, barley and sunflower) that had become one of the country's main export sectors," Raul Zibechi wrote in an article published last month titled "Two Sides of a Predatory Model."
And more expansion is expected. "The biggest foresters [in Uruguay] are the ones planning to install the large factories: the U.S.-based Weyerhaeuser owns 130,000 hectares of forest monoculture; Finland-based Botnia has 57,000 hectares; and Spain's Ence has another 50,000 hectares. . . . The American firm Weyerhauser intends to invest up to $1 billion in expanding its business in Uruguay," notes Zibechi, who is a teacher, writer and researcher in Montevideo.
Chile, too, is suffering predation. "With over 2 million forested hectares, [Chile] has been defined as the forestry model to follow," Zibechi observes. "However, municipalities where the increase in poverty has been highest are those in which, besides tree plantations, there are also cellulose and paper factories."
But monoculture forests that will be chipped for paper are not just being planted in the developing world. Corporations are now clearing natural forests worldwide for plantations, including in the southeastern United States.
"Many of the regional properties purchased by paper and pulp companies have been converted from their natural mix of hardwood and softwood species to a monoculture of pine plantation. After the cut, the land is replanted with pine seedlings and covered with fertilizers and herbicides to kill off competing growth," Brendan Jennings wrote in the fall 2000 issue of The Chattanooga CityScope.
These chemicals degrade soil and water quality, but so does planting only one species of tree.
Jennings' article contains this telling quote from Robert Gottfried, Professor of Economics at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee: "There is faster [water] runoff and bigger peaks and valleys in the flow of streams in pine forests. This has economic implications. My concern is that we're rushing pell-mell to large scale changes in the landscape. We don't know what the long-range implications might be."
For others, the ramifications are already clear. "This is industry at its most efficient and most sophisticated, an industry that's going to squeeze the life out of diverse ecosystems," Cielo Sand, of the conservation group Forest Watch, told Jennings.
Comparatively speaking, perhaps, Japan is lucky. Yes, there are 10 million hectares of cedar plantations scattered across the nation — and more than 20 percent of the population suffers from cedar-pollen allergies — but change is rumored.
The New National Forest Plan approved by the Cabinet in autumn 2004 proposes that Japan's monoculture forests of cedar and cypress be partially cut and planted with broadleaf trees in order to increase forest biological diversity. Forty-four areas near major rivers have been chosen for diversification.
Sadly, even as Japan begins to diversify its own forests, its imports of paper and pulp continue to climb. In fact, worldwide paper consumption is rising steadily, fueling demand for pulp from both natural forests and plantations.
With the world's population growing steadily, the loss of natural forests may seem inevitable — but is it necessary? We are now at a crossroads where we can decide what the word "forest" will mean to future generations.
Can we learn to manage our forests and our consumption of wood products so there will always be vast tracts of natural forest? Or are we consigning future generations to a planet of sterile plantation forests? Will trees someday be viewed in the same way we now see corn and soybeans — just plants to be grown and harvested?
"There is increasing awareness of the folly of destroying wilderness areas, the wellspring of the earth's biodiversity. And it is clearly the case that reductions in the planet's gene pool — well under way — may eventually have catastrophic results in planetary pandemics among vulnerable plants, animals and humans," writes Helena Norberg-Hodge, in her essay, "Breaking Up the Monoculture." (www.isec.org.uk)
Of course, pandemics are a very real possibility. But perhaps more catastrophic for the human race would be if one day there is no true wilderness left; if our jungles and forests had all been cleared and planted to serve efficiency and profit, and if children come to see trees simply as crops.
If that day comes, we will have lost the magic and majesty, and the safety net, that has fed, clothed and sheltered us — and has been one of the wellsprings of unique cultures worldwide.

Texas Tech is Sticking with Chapel Hill's Joseph Clark + New East Texas Players Shine at Red Raiders' Longview Camp
LONGVIEW — Just 363 days ago, former Chapel Hill defensive back Joseph Clark turned in a masterful performance at Texas Tech's camp in Longview and earned a full-ride scholarship to the university prior to his senior season.
He returned to Lobo Stadium to check out what the Red Raiders are up to in 2014, but he will not be a part of their team this year. He'll be in Tyler this fall working part-time at a Whataburger while rehabbing from a compound left leg injury.
The road for Clark has been incredibly difficult since the high point in Longview, and it will get tougher as he works toward the end goal.
There was good reason to visit with the coaches that recruited him to Texas Tech, however. The staff will honor his scholarship whether the Chapel Hill star plays for them or not.
"It's straight Coach (Kliff) Kingsbury," Red Raiders' co-offensive coordinator and receivers coach Eric Morris said. "There was never even a discussion about it. It wasn't even brought up one time that we were going to drop the kid. We got to know him, we sold him on it, he committed to us and when they commit to us we commit to them as well.
"It was something that was never discussed. He was going to be on scholarship no matter what. We've been encouraging him more than anything, having as many surgeries as he's had and allowing him to know, 'Your spot is there when you get healthy.'"
Clark's midseason injury against Henderson could turn the strongest stomach inside out.
He tore three ligaments in his knee. His hamstring muscle popped off the bone. So did some other tissues.
The nerves running from his leg all the way down to his foot also sustained damage to the degree his doctors initially weren't convinced the defensive back could play again.
Clark has been through three surgeries — the first operation requiring shift work from the doctors — and is nearing the point he can run on the leg again.
"It means a hell of a lot," Clark said. "It still means a lot. Just coming out here and seeing where I basically got my scholarship from — If I had not come out here I would not have gotten a scholarship."
Kingsbury was unavailable for comment. He left the camp immediately after its conclusion for a school function in Houston.
Clark rode a wave into that Longview camp.
The defensive back had a solid outing at a Rivals.com camp in Dallas a few weeks prior and then came to Texas Tech's East Texas outpost. He wowed the staff with quick lateral movements, physicality associated with bigger backs and coverage skills against an extremely talented class of receivers.
"They started messaging me on Facebook immediately after," Clark said. "(Cornerbacks) Coach (Kevin) Curtis kept talking and then (safeties) Coach (Trey) Haverty. Pretty soon, I'd say maybe a week after the camp, they offered."
Clark verbally committed to Texas Tech on July 27, 2013 and all was going according to plan.
The injury derailed everything.
"I took it pretty hard," Clark said. "I didn't really like being around people or my team. I went through three surgeries. The first being the worst. It went seven hours. The others were pretty basic."
The Chapel Hill player was invited to an official, in-season visit at Texas Tech and arrived on crutches that made him look like Tiny Tim shortly after the initial surgery.
Results improved after each operation.
He looks like he could play for the Red Raiders today with exception to his leg. While it's way more developed than the average man's, the limb doesn't quite match his upper body nor the uninjured right leg.
That could change soon. All parties are optimistic the leg will complete its strong immediate response.
Once Clark arrives at Texas Tech, he will have four years of eligibility and also the ability to redshirt a season.
Worst case scenario, he will leave the university with zero student debt as a non-participating student.
"I really got scared as soon as it happened," Clark said. "I thought that it was over. I thought I wouldn't play at Texas Tech. I didn't know what would happen.
"I told Coach Curtis to give me a call as soon as possible. I didn't want to leave a message, you know? The next morning, we talked and he was like, 'Everything will be OK. We're still going to honor your scholarship. You're going to come back even stronger.' He told me how he tore his ACL multiple times. Then he put me on the phone with Coach Kingsbury and he talked to me for a while. They just kept me up."
Van's Luke McGowan Works For Dream Opportunity
Luke McGowan looks primed to be a huge asset for Van this season.
Will the small yet brilliantly productive receiver add a Division I offer before the Vandals' season kicks off? The past two days have been promising.
McGowan (5-9 1/2, 172) put together back-to-back strong performances at a North Texas camp in the Metroplex and Texas Tech's camp in East Texas. Coaches from both staffs have singled him out and want to see his junior year films.
"It was a great experience," the Van receiver said after Texas Tech's camp. "They really run a camp well. Coach Morris helped me a lot and told me I was doing better throughout the camp. He told me to send my film to him personally and that he'd be looking out for me. He asked how I did this past season and stats and everything."
McGowan faces several issues in his journey to play major collegiate football. Most notably, his ratio of speed to height makes coaching staffs hesitant to offer scholarships when they could pick up a similar player — or even the same player — by handing out preferred walk-on status.
McGowan has strong grades which virtually assure admittance to state colleges. Especially when a college football coach puts in a good word with the university's admission staff.
But this receiver seems special. He almost never drops the ball.
McGowan is an elite route runner and catches a variety of intentionally poorly thrown balls from evaluating coaches. He assures positive yardage whether he is tackled immediately or gets free for more yardage.
He's not just a drill player. McGowan plays physical against bigger defensive backs and creates space for the catch.
Van's possession man finished second among receivers in bench press reps of 185 pounds at the ETSN.fm Recruiting Combine and tested very well in the medicine ball and Keiser squat competitions.
Morris, nicknamed 'The Elf' in his playing days, played his football at Texas Tech and faced a similar circumstance. He was a last-minute Mike Leach recruit in the school's 2004 class.
The school's history with short receivers didn't begin with Morris.
It really began with Wes Welker, a 5-foot-9 player Leach offered at the final hour in 2000.
Former Red Raider receiver Austin Zouzalik was another productive player and current receiver Jordan Davis also fits the mold.
That is to say if a school knows what small receivers can do, it's Texas Tech.
McGowan wears No. 6 at Van. It was inspired by Zouzalik wearing the number as a Red Raider.
"I've been a big Tech fan," the receiver said. "I knew who Coach Morris was before he became a coach here and I knew who Coach Kingsbury was before he coached football at Texas Tech. I've gone to a few of their games back in the day and it was really good. I have a few friends who have influenced me in Tech. I love the campus there and the university and everything there. It's a great experience to be there."
Longview's Broderick Washington Enjoys Camp
Longview offensive lineman Broderick Washington didn't have to travel very far to see what Texas Tech had to offer.
The holder of Arkansas State, Houston, Louisiana-Lafayette, New Mexico, North Texas and UTSA offers received interest from the Texas Tech coaching staff as did Lufkin's Erik McCoy.
"They seemed very interested," Washington said. "When I first walked in, I saw Coach Haverty. Coach Haverty introduced me to the rest of the coaching staff. Everyone was great and friendly."
The Red Raiders' coaching staff is an intriguing group.
Kingsbury is as likely to be on E! News as a Ryan Gosling lookalike as he is a football coach on ESPN. He had appearances on both TV channels last year.
His staff is fairly young and not very far from their own playing days, so high school prospects generally hold the idea the staff will understand them better than older coaching groups.
"We got a few laughs in while working at the same time," Washington said. "It was great. It was fun to be out here."
Carthage's James Marshall Picks Up Trinity Valley Offer
James Marshall attended Texas Tech's camp in Longview and received a fair amount of interest from linebackers coach Mike Smith.
He also received a college football offer from Trinity Valley Community College, something solid on top of interest from the Red Raiders, Baylor, Abilene Christian, Texas A&M-Commerce and a few other schools.
Marshall's stock has risen at each camp.
He's an interior linebacker, a big one at that with a good frame, who could become athletic enough to move to outside linebacker and be featured in a unit emphasizing pass defense.
Marshall helped Carthage win the Class 3A Division I championship in December.

A UNIQUE scheme has been launched to give Halton residents the chance to become part of a 'once in a lifetime' project.
The search is on to find hundreds of volunteers to get involved in the creation of the Mersey Gateway bridge.
They will help to tell the story of Halton and the £600 million tolled crossing and complement the thousands of jobs that are being created.
Neil Wilcock, Merseylink's employment skills co-ordinator, said: "We've already started our recruitment activity and now we want to talk to local people young and old who are keen to roll up their sleeves and be part of something amazing.
"The volunteers, who have to be over 16 and enthusiastic, will find a great way to learn new skills, meet new friends and have fun."
Merseylink will work with Halton Employment Partnership to market the training programme and volunteer opportunities.
Unemployed adults, adults facing redundancy, young people not in employment, education or training, disadvantaged groups and retired people will be invited to take part.
The Mersey Gateway volunteer training programme will equip people with a range of valuable employment skills.
Volunteers will work alongside Merseylink staff to deliver a programme of talks, presentations and temporary exhibitions in local community venues, schools, colleges. They will also support exhibitions, talks and presentations at new visitor centres.
Halton Clr Eddie Jones, board member for economic development, said: "The volunteers will be vital in the creation of a great visitor experience of which Halton can be proud "For our young people, volunteering can be very fulfilling. It can also be a major supplement to their CVs, providing valuable character building and work experience to aid their employment prospects.
"This is a rare opportunity. It can be a wonderful chance for older people to contribute, to demonstrate their skills or display some great local knowledge.
"For those keen to give something back to their community, this is the opportunity to be an important part of our amazing and iconic project."

After being suspended for match fixing five years ago, Pham Van Quyen and Le Van Truong will play on the national team during the Millennium Thang Long-Ha Noi Football Cup next month.
The veterans return made headlines in newspapers across the nation.
"It is a dream comes true," said Quyen after hearing the news.
After serving his four-year ban, Quyen has been sidelined for most of the season due to injuries. Quyen returned to the sport last year and played for Song Lam Nghe An, where he proved that he still has talent.
"I dreamed of wearing the national jersey again after I was banned, and now I can do it," said Quyen. "I was not set to play much this season because of my up-and-down performance and injuries. I was really surprised when I saw my name on the list; I couldn't believe."
Truong was at his family's home in Hue when he was informed that he had been selected by the national team.
"It has been five years [since I last played for the national team]," said Truong. "It is a short period for a person's life, but it's really long and hard for a player."
Truong was selected to play for the national team although his club Hoang Anh Gia Lai performed poorly during the previous two seasons.
Quyen and Truong are still banned by FIFA, but the Viet Nam Football Federation has asked the world football governing body to drop the ban.
Coach Henrique Calisto on Monday selected four strikers, 11 midfielders, nine defenders and two goalkeepers to play for the national team. -- VNS

Colliders and colanders
Scott Laningham 100000GSNP Visits (3228)
Here's an interesting photo and tech news piece on Europe's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). That thing looks a lot like the collapsible colander my mom used to use, except hers did not have that nice brass tone to it. You remember them, don't you? The colanders that folded down for storage? I think George Lucas used them for telescoping port holes on his space ships in the original Star Wars. As a matter of fact, I'm sure of this because I spotted some broccoli hanging off of one of them in that movie. My mom used to steam broccoli until it turned the color of the colander. It took me two decades to learn to like broccoli again.

All parties of Romania's ethnic Hungarian community have welcomed that Hungary's Parliament had granted voting rights to Hungarian citizens abroad, including ethnic Hungarians residing in neighbouring countries, the Cluj-based Hungarian-language daily Kronika said on Wednesday.
Hungarian parliament passed a new election law on December 23.
"Enfranchisement had to go hand in hand with citizenship," Hunor Kelemen, leader of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (RMDSZ), said.
Kelemen also welcomed that, in line with his party's position, ethnic Hungarians abroad will only cast a single vote, on a national party list.
Setting up individual constituencies abroad "would only have generated division between residents of Hungary and those in neighbouring countries and triggered undesirable conflict," he said.
Tibor T. Toro, acting chairman of the Hungarian People's Party of Transylvania (EMNP), called the involvement of Hungarian minorities in Hungary's political life another important and logical step towards "national unification". He added that the law may indirectly support the autonomy endeavours of Transylvanian Hungarians.
Jeno Szasz, head of the Hungarian Civic Party (MPP), described the law as a "major step forward after Hungary had actually dissociated from us in the December 5, 2004 referendum held during [Ferenc] Gyurcsany's government."
In his view, the idea of setting up individual constituencies beyond the border was abandoned as Hungary's government had to consider the reaction of neighbouring countries.

WYRE Forest Phoenix played their first pre-season friendly of the summer when they drew 2-2 against Knowle on Sunday.
They stepped up their preparations for their second season in the West Midlands Regional League with a good work out.
They travelled to Premier team Knowles with 10 of the team's squad of 16 available due to holidays, work and injuries.
Knowle started the game as the more attacking team for the first 20 minutes and it was pleasing to see how well Phoenix were defending and coping with the pressure.
The team then started to settle and create chances and on 35 minutes Kirsty Roberts scored after linking up with Molly Maguire.
The second half was much like the first and within minutes keeper Tracy Evans was called upon, but was seen by the referee to bring down a Knowles player in the box and had to face the resulting penalty.
The shot was fired high, rebounded off the cross bar and was cleared by the defence.
New signing Rebecca Carter had an excellent game on the right midfield.
She doubled Forest's lead after good work by Kat Meredith and Roberts.
Knowle got a goal back shortly after when a midfielder latched onto a long ball and, with just the keeper to beat, made it 2-1. They then managed to level the game with five minutes to go with a well-placed free kick.
