Australian acting, directing and producing heavyweights have sounded the alarm over the future of local content on free-to-air and subscription television because the federal government has not committed to implementing the recommendations of the Convergence Review.
In spite of its release in March, the Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, said through a spokesman on Wednesday that the government was still considering the report and would ''respond in due course''.
The Australian Directors Guild general manager, Kingston Anderson, said he was worried that when analogue television signals were turned off next year, free-to-air stations would no longer be bound by local content quotas because their digital channels were not currently subject to those rules.
''There was meant to be a cabinet decision on Monday and it didn't happen,'' he said. ''We're worried about getting a straight answer.''
Mr Anderson, along with Underbelly actor Roy Billing, Paper Giants actor Matt Day and senior industry representatives from the Screen Producers Association of Australia and the Australian Writers' Guild met in the Senate courtyard on Wednesday before a Canberra dinner where they expected to see Mr Conroy and Arts Minister Simon Crean.
Mr Anderson said since digital channels began three years ago, the Australian content on free-to-air television had fallen from 55 per cent to 35 per cent.
''Australian shows are very popular, there is a huge audience for them,'' he said.
The group said that out of the top 20 highest rating shows aired on television last week, 19 had been Australian programs.
The chief executive of Free TV Australia, Julie Flynn, said the Australian networks invested heavily in local productions but were at a disadvantage because subscription television and internet platforms were not subject to the same rules.
''We spent $1.23 billion on Australian content in 2010-11 and that's more than the entire ABC budget,'' she said. ''We employ - directly and indirectly - about 15,000 conservatively; $1.23 billion is a bucket-load of dough and that's our spend on news, sport, drama, lifestyle entertainment and children's categories - that's all Australian and it's 72 per cent of the total programming spend.''
However, director Gillian Armstrong said the industry was fragile and needed content quotas.
''I think people forget how precarious our little industry is,'' she said. ''When I was 18 years old I had never before seen Australian film on the big screen. It's something we need to remember - how important it is for our cultural identity.''
Screen producers president Brian Rosen said the uncertainty in the industry was undermining confidence.
''The review panel made the logical and necessary recommendation that the current Australian Content Standard be extended to the new digital multi-channel environment and the Pay TV platform,'' he said.
''We were told that the government supported this move but, six months later, the lack of progress has us worried.''

Police: Dallas man stole $39K from club
KINGSTON - The former treasurer of a Wyoming County hunting club was charged Tuesday with stealing nearly $39,000 from the organization in a series of thefts that spanned three years.
Robert Lee Morgan Jr., 47, of 239 Huntsville Road, Dallas, is charged with two counts of theft by unlawful taking. Kingston police say he stole $24,332 from the Old Hickory Hunting Club's line of credit and $14,484 from the club's checking account between October 2007 and November 2010.
Club President Carl D. Sheply reported the alleged thefts to police in April 2011, according to an affidavit filed in court by Detective Thomas Paratore.
Sheply told police the club had taken out a $30,000 line of credit to build a cabin and had a checking account to cover business expenses, and that between them he had noticed nearly $40,000 had been taken, Paratore wrote.
Sheply also reported that the line of credit had been paid in full on April 24, 2008, and that he directed Morgan to close the credit account, he wrote. But when Sheply checked into the account in March 2011, he learned it was still open and had a balance of $27,974, Paratore wrote.
A subsequent investigation revealed that Morgan, an owner of Morgan Corp. Electrical Contractors on Main Street in Luzerne, had made 33 unauthorized transactions on the line of credit and checking account for amounts ranging from $400 to $4,000, according to Paratore. Morgan subsequently admitted to using the accounts for personal use, he wrote.
Magisterial District Judge Paul J. Roberts arraigned Morgan on Tuesday and released him on $10,000 unsecured bond. His preliminary hearing is set for March 20.

The NFL presented Jonathan Vilma and his attorney with a sworn statement from former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams saying the linebacker placed a $10,000 bounty on Brett Favre. Vilma met with Commissioner Roger Goodell yesterday in New York about his suspension, which has been temporarily lifted. Attorney Peter Ginsberg said they were given an affidavit at the meeting. Ginsberg called the $10,000 bounty offer "absolutely false." Vilma tweeted on last night that Williams was "bullied to sign the affidavit," saying Williams signed it on Friday.
Peyton Manning kept throwing up wobbly passes. And the Atlanta Falcons kept picking them off. Taking advantage of Manning's three stunning first-quarter interceptions, Matt Ryan and the Falcons built a big lead and held on for a 27-21 victory over the Denver Broncos. The erratic effort by Manning showed his comeback in the Mile High City is still a work in progress. Ryan threw the 100th touchdown pass of his career, Roddy White had 102 yards receiving and the Falcons made a 20-0 lead stand up, if just barely. Ryan completed 24 of 36 for 219 yards and two Tds. The Falcons join the Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans, San Diego Chargers, San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles as the lone 2-0 teams after two weeks of the NFL season.

The 44-year-old said he returned to work yesterday to break down film of Nebraska's 42-13 win over Arkansas State and to begin preparing for this week's game against Idaho State. He said he has no heart problems or issues related to stress and that Saturday was "an isolated incident."

Psychology: Highly Sensitive Person In Love (cont.)
And the last point is to use your dreams to heal gender hurts. I could talk on and on about the importance of dreams, especially for HSP's. In our dreams, we will see many figures of the other gender. When they are mostly cruel, we know there's a disturbance in our relationship to the other gender. As we think about our dreams, and even confront dream figures in our imagination, and confront people in our lives, who act like our domineering inner figures, things begin to change. Those with better relationships with the other gender will often find them appearing as friends, lovers, or guides. That increases as our comfort and confidence around the other gender grows. Inner work is very important work, not only for ourselves, but for our culture. And it is an area where HSP's can excel.

VTrckS Connection Newsletter
October/November 2013
VTrckS Update
From the NCIRD Management Official,
Anjella Johnson-Hooker
It has certainly been an eventful and challenging fall season for all of us—awardees and CDC staff alike. We really appreciate the work that you all have done to learn about and implement the changes that have taken place on both the VFC and VTrckS fronts. You are invaluable partners to making VTrckS the most effective, efficient solution for all the system's stakeholders. We seek to be open and responsive to awardee feedback through various mechanisms, including the annual VTrckS Awardee Survey and the launch of the new VTrckS User Group, as well as more informal interactions.
I'd like to briefly mention a few current initiatives we've undertaken in response to awardee feedback. As detailed in the article on page 2 of this issue, we have continued to push forward on development of the returns and wastage ExIS interfaces for VTrckS, which we know are urgent priorities for many awardee offices. Also, in response to feedback received in the 2013 VTrckS Awardee Survey, we have begun working to streamline the security access process for SAMS and VTrckS. Stay tuned for more updates to come on these and other improvement efforts, and best wishes for a wonderful holiday season and happy start to 2014!

The video carries us through a stream of conscious design process in cartoon form, gently dancing around the points which say "we're building a fancy minivan" with so much marketingspeak you'll need hip waders to watch it. That's not to say this new WTF-UV they're hinting at doesn't have some innovative features. From the video, it seems whatever it is will feature a panoramic sunroof which would be a first in a minivan (unless you count the R-Class, which Mercedes wishes we didn't), and enclosed interior cargo area and a sloping tumblehome at the rear which allows for a sort of trunk within the tailgate, or at least that's what it seems in the video. Of course, everything is "luxury" this and "first class" that, but at the end of the day it sure sounds like we're talking about a fancy minivan here, no matter how hard BMW tries not to say it. Sure, call it the PAS or whatever, which by the way, stands for Progressive Activity Sedan. Whatever, it still sounds like a minivan to us.
Given the timing on the video, we're expecting this concept will be revealed at either the 2009 Geneva Motor Show or the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Dancing With The Stars Results Recap: Not Picked For The Team
October 16, 2012 06:15 PM by Candace Young
Last night on Dancing With The Stars, Paul Abdul's stint as a guest judge saw the first 10s of the all-star season awarded. Going into tonight's results show, Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatroyd top the leaderboard and Kirstie Alley and Maks Chmerkovskiy are at the bottom. Will Kirstie hang in there for another week? What about struggling Bristol Palin? Read on…
America's votes were combined with the Dancing With The Stars judges' scores to arrive at tonight's results. Performing live tonight will be Susan Boyle, Donny Osmond, and Christina Grimmie. The first four couples are ready to learn their fate.
The first couple to learn they are safe is…Shawn Johnson and Derek Hough, which is no surprise given that they gave a fantastic performance last night.
Sexy duo, Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy are also returning next week, along with Sabrina Bryan and Louis Van Amstel who did a glittery disco routine last night.
Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas are in jeopardy following their dance to At The Hop.
Former Dancing With The Stars contestant, Carson Kressley, makes an appearance and talks about rubbing something on Gilles' chest before footage is shown of him bugging the stars before their numbers last night. He knocks on trailers hoping to find someone without their 'face on', and needles Maks about doing the Charleston, calling him 'The Great Maksby'.
Christina Grimmie performs Titanium live while the Macy's Stars of Dance perform.
Gilles Marini and Peta Murgatroyd are safe after their Bollywood performance last night, and 'sexy beast' Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke, will also return.
Apolo Anton Ohno and Karina Smirnoff are at risk. Could it be due to Karina's fall last night, or just a less-than-stellar hip hop routine?
Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani performed an impressive jitterbug last night and will return next week.
Kirstie Alley and Maks Chmerkovskiy did a fun Charleston, but got the lowest scores of the night and are in jeopardy.
Donny Osmond and Susan Boyle perform together live – am I alone in finding this an odd pairing?
Next week, the dancers will perform twice and do freestyle in teams. Gilles and Peta and Shawn and Derek are team leaders. They draw for their song DVDs. Gilles is revved to get Gangnam Style, and Derek's not so stoked to get Call Me Maybe. Gilles gets the toss and they choose Kelly and Val first for their team. Shawn takes Sabrina and Louis. Gilles takes Kirstie and Maks. Shawn adds Emmitt and Cheryl. Shawn chooses Apolo and Karina. Bristol and Mark are left, not chosen by either team, and will join whatever team loses a couple to tonight's elimination, unless they are eliminated themselves.
It's time to save one more couple and reveal the bottom two. Apolo and Karina are safe.
Bristol and Mark, and Kirstie and Maks are in the bottom two. Will Bristol finally leave the competition? Yes, she and Mark have reached the end of the road.

overviewThe Nano Soft Coral Pack is an assortment of carefully selected soft corals that offers a diversity of color and form throughout your system. The Nano Soft Coral Pack is a combination of various soft, polyp and mushroom corals that are well suited for a small reef aquarium, such as the Nano Cube. We have selected these corals not only for their size, but also for their hardiness and overall suitability for nano reef aquariums. By incorporating multiple Nano Soft Coral Packs with our Drs. Foster & Smith Select Nano Live Rock, you can create a diverse reef setting in a small aquarium environment.
The ideal setup for the Nano Soft Coral Pack is an aquarium of at least 8 gallons with plenty of live rock for added biological filtration. All of the corals within the Nano Soft Coral Pack will thrive under compact fluorescent or multiple standard fluorescent lights. The water movement provided by the main filtration is all that is needed for these corals, as they do not require high water flow.
All of the corals included are photosynthetic and do not require supplemental feeding. However, depending on the individual species, the corals may be fed zooplankton, brine and mysis shrimp. Be sure to monitor the nutrient levels within the small aquarium if you decide to supplement the diet of the corals.
Each Nano Soft Coral Pack consists of a mix of 4 different species of corals. Depending on availability, we will include 1 coral from each category. The 4th coral will be chosen from one of the categories, and will provide you with a diversity of color and form. When ordering more than 1 pack, we will do our best to provide a variety of the corals shown above but can not always guarantee this when the diversity of corals are low for these packs.
Be sure to click the images below to see pop-up windows with detailed pictures of the coral options!
Approximate Purchase Size: Varies with species, typically 1" to 2".

Instagram Is the Latest Social Networking Platform to Battle 'Inappropriate' Imagesamberdoty
Does your teen regularly use Instagram? The easy to use, mobile photo-sharing application encourages users to instantly share their day with friends on the web. People as young as 13 are permitted to create an account. Studies have shown that younger teens are sharing on Instagram more frequently than on Facebook which means it is more important than ever for parents to understand how their children can use the application safely.
It also makes the recent report that Instagram has become the hottest new place for people to share their nude or explicit photos concerning. Like Twitter, Instagram pictures can include hashtags in their description which makes it easier for other users to search by subject. The Huffington Post reports that there are currently 135,000 photos tagged "latte" and 201,000 tagged "Instasex."
But people aren't just sharing x-rated photography. They are also using the application to proposition others for "adult" conversations on mobile messaging apps like Kik. I guess having cybersex in a chatroom is so 1996.
Instagram currently has over 80 million users who combined upload over 5 million photos a day, way too many for a staff of fifteen to properly police. Despite a limited capacity, the team is making an effort to combat the rise of images in violation of their terms of service, which prohibit "nude, partially nude or sexually suggestive photos." Recently, they introduced the ability to flag inappropriate comments.
Users can choose to keep their accounts private in which case photographs shared on the account would only be viewable by friends. While this won't stop your curious teen from searching for inappropriate images, it can keep the eyes of those with ill intentions away from the ins and outs of your child's day.
Do you allow your teenager to use Instagram?

Guess Who?
We're pretty used to our favorite celebs getting tattoos these days, but they don't generally go for the front of the neck.
This A-list lady revealed some Olde English script right on her throat reading "818," the area code for the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles, known for valley girls and gang activity alike.
Need another hint? She's no stranger to neck tattoos — her ex got one that looks just like her, although he denies any resemblance.Care to make a guess? Click here to find out who this neck tat belongs to!

May 18, 2013Reviewer: Marissa in FloridaThis is a great product once you get used to the taste. If you are stuck on peanut butter and expecting this to be a miracle "I can't believe its not peanut butter" you will be disappointed, personally I like this product. I used one of the recipes below and added sugar free chocolate chips. mmmm :)
April 26, 2012Reviewer: A customer in CaliforniaOn its own I rate it a "3". Has a "beany" taste, but the texture is thick like peanut butter.
On low carb pita bread with low carb syrup/jam this is easily a "5".
When I dipped low carb chocolate into this, it resembled a "Reece's" peanut butter cup, rate this recipe a "5" Very tasty!!
When combined with other foods, it masks the beany taste and tastes almost like peanut butter, and tastes great, no carbs too.
November 05, 2010Reviewer: Betty in ArkansasNoticed a few complaints about not measuring up to real peanut butter in taste, well here is a little secret. Mix half and half with organic peanut butter,( I use chunky) add a little stevia, and voila, you're there with only 2 net carbs per T. All the flavor and texture of real peanut butter, and none of the guilt. Enjoy!
May 03, 2008Reviewer: Michelle in MinnesotaThis was not bad. To me it tasted like a soy / peanut butter mix. I only gave a 4 because the texture is very dry. Also I believe the label is incorrect. It reads 5 carbs, 5 fiber, 1 sugar?
January 28, 2008Reviewer: A customer in GeorgiaExcellent taste and consistency, a little stiffer than regular peanut butter. The soy is prone to cause gas for me, so be cautious if you're trying it the first time.
September 17, 2007Reviewer: S Deila in TexasI am a peanut butter addict. I was in desperate need to find a better carb solution to my PB cravings since I could eat a whole jar without batting an eye.
If you are looking for an EXACT replica of PB taste, this isn't it. It does have pretty much the same mouth feel, without the stickiness, but has a flavour all it's own. It has a unique flavour and, once you've eaten it a few times, it grows on you.
December 14, 2006Reviewer: Toni in ArizonaI've tried other soybean butters and I really enjoy this one. It does have a slight dry texture - so be sure to have water on hand; but I've discovered I enjoy the flavor more than Peanut Butter now. As long as you don't expect it to be just like P'nut butter - you'll learn to appreciate the soybean flavor.
0 of 1 people found the following review helpfulNovember 03, 2006Reviewer: James in MarylandNot bad. Pretty close to peanut butter. Has a bit of a soy taste, as would be expected from a product made primarily of soybeans. Texture and color were very close to that of peanut butter. Taste and even smell was close.
