The day after St Kilda announced its grand plans, the reality of its current AFL plight was biting again.
Adam Schneider is the latest Saint ruled out of next Saturday night's round one clash against Melbourne. The veteran forward is not expected to train until next month as he recovers from injury.
Schneider was kneed in the back in a practice match against Port Adelaide last weekend and did not finish the game.
The Saints are already taking a badly depleted midfield into the Etihad Stadium match against Melbourne.
Lenny Hayes and Leigh Montagna are suspended, while the club's reigning best and fairest winner, Jack Steven, is out of action for several weeks with a foot fracture. On Thursday night, St Kilda revealed its strategic plan at the club's season launch function. It aims to finally add to its sole 1966 premiership by 2020 and return to the top four by 2018.
After just missing the 2009 and 2010 flags, the Saints have plummeted and are now rebuilding.
They finished 15th last season and sacked coach Scott Watters in November, with Alan Richardson taking his place.

To me the whole problem with our second unit is that our offense in general is just not that good, our first unit is just so much better that they make up for our lack of offense, how many times we have won while shooting a horrible percentage?

I'm glad that Vogel sees the problem with Tyler clearly. Identifying the problem is the first step to fixing it.
I also thought Dahntay's comments as to what they could do now were worthwhile. Stiffen up on D, and take advantage of the breakaways.
[~]) ... Cheers! Go Pacers!
I believe I am correct in noting that once you send a player to the D League, he has to stay there all year. It's not like the minor leagues in baseball.
To me, this is clearly the reason most teams don't use it much.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Lance/AJ is further down the chart for naming the reasons that our second unit is struggling.
1. No Foster.
2. Hans is struggling.
3. George Hill has been struggling recently.
4. Lou Amundson sucks.
Whether Lance makes a great pass or not or makes a turnover or two in five minutes of the first half—or instead AJ makes a decent pass or chucks a shot or perhaps makes it . . . that's really not the major issue folks.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
Plus veterans (>3 years experience) can now be sent down with their consent, e.g. while recovering from injury.
I don't care for peanuts either.
I think that is the basketball reason.
I think Larry wants to see what Lance can do, and is pretty sure AJ's going to go elsewhere next season. I think Larry gets stuck on stuff. Everyone told him to fire JOB for two years, and he point blank refused to do it for the longest time, according to Katz, he still didn't want to do it but Simon did. If that's true, it says a lot.
I don't think any other GM takes the chance on Lance that Larry has, personally. How many other GM's allow three personal/chemistry issues to happen, before a guy proves a darn thing on the floor? Whether Lance has grown up or not, it certainly shows that Larry is irrational about him. He's called him the best player on the team. I think that says enough.
Honestly, if Josh was still here, and Tyler still struggling, I expect Josh would still be sitting on the bench too. (assuming we had a quality backup Center). Because Larry is almost as stubborn about Tyler as he is about Lance.
Basketball reasons, honestly, the only one I can think of is not wanting Hill to play at the 2 because of his size. But he's played the 2 his entire career at times, and Hill/AJ are significantly better defensively than Lance/Hill or Lance/AJ, regardless of size. Not only that, but they seemed to really play well together. It's not that AJ's amazing, I'm a fan obviously, but I've also said over and over again that he's not the most talented guy. But like fans of Josh, I see AJ as a glue guy. A guy that makes the team better. And he's one of two point guards on the roster, so unless we get another one, it's flat out silly to not play him.
And because I think Vogel isn't an idiot. I have to believe that this is Larry's idea, and it stems from stubbornness and a need to prove he was right, rather than an evaluation of what the team needs.
Not sure where I got that idea.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
AJ's shooting percentage will more than likely even out, he's healthy now. But you can't look at stats to see how Price did those three games. He ran the team, the bench ran a decent offense. Hill and Tyler played the best they have all season because Tyler was getting the ball where he likes it and Hill was getting to play off ball. He played really well defensively. There was simply a significant difference in bench play when he was out there.
Quit pointing out Bird's liabilities, or you are going will be labeled a Bird hater from the Bird can do no wrong apologists.
Any upgrades on Foster's health or when he might return?
I think he's targeting Tuesday against the Nets.
Thanx for the update.
I think Larry Bird has done a fantastic job, overall. I really do.
I just think the personal qualities that are almost necessary for people to become great basketball players, can hinder a person in being a GM. Namely, the need to prove to everyone something.
Cause 9-13 are scrubs. and # 8, Jeff should have retired!
We had a better bench last year. I think Bird is trying to play Money Ball and It's not working!!!

Amundsen makes 2.5 million this year, add another 800k or so (minimum i guess) for Pendergast and that is more then McRoberts alledgedly makes with the Lakers, and whilst I am pretty sure he would have signed on the dotted for 2.5 million or so, even at that he would have been a considerable upgrade over amundsen and pendergast together.
And why talk about McRoberts again, and leaver Rush out of the discussion, oh yeah he sucks too.
So Long And Thanks For All The Fish.
If you've done 6 impossible things today?
Then why not have Breakfast at Milliways!
I mean we're 12-6. Something is clearly working...
yeah, unfortunately I think Rush and McRoberts would be better to have on the floor than Lou and Lance. With that said, our bench should be playing much better than they are. They are still a solid group, especially with Foster.

Norv Turner got his third shot at an NFL head coaching job when he was hired Monday by the San Diego Chargers, a week after the surprise firing of Marty Schottenheimer.
The hiring came less than 24 hours after the Chargers wrapped up their interviews. The team planned to introduce Turner at an afternoon news conference. Five years ago, Turner interviewed for the job that went to Schottenheimer.
Turner, the San Francisco 49ers' offensive coordinator, was the only one of the six candidates who's been an NFL head coach, and the only one from the offensive side of the ball.
He inherits a team that was an NFL-best 14-2 last season but melted down in its playoff opener, a stunning 24-21 loss to the New England Patriots.
Turner had trouble winning, going 58-82-1 in coaching stints with Washington and Oakland. Schottenheimer had trouble winning in the postseason, going 5-13 overall and 0-2 with the Chargers.
Last Monday, the Chargers surprised the NFL when president Dean Spanos fired Schottenheimer, citing a "dysfunctional situation" between the coach and general manager A.J. Smith.
BEARS: Defensive coordinator Ron Rivera has gone from head coaching candidate to out of a job - a little more than two weeks after Bears were in the Super Bowl.
Rivera, who has talked with eight different NFL teams about their head coaching positions over the past two seasons, had a three-year contract with the Bears that was set to expire next week. The NFC champions announced he will not be back.
Head coach Lovie Smith had been pushing Rivera for head coaching jobs, now he's pushed him off his staff.
"It's just something that coach decided he was going to shuffle his staff and we'll go from there," Rivera said .
COLTS: Made defensive end Dwight Freeney their franchise player, keeping him with them for at least one more season.
PANTHERS: Cleared salary cap space by releasing veteran defensive end Al Wallace, a key reserve who was to count almost $2 million against the salary cap.
PACKERS: Signed linebackers Tim Goodwell and Marcus Randall, cornerback Antonio Malone, defensive tackle Devarick Scandrett and punter David Lonie.
BRONCOS: Signed linebacker Louis Green to an extension.
LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman Jonathan Babineaux was arrested by Gwinnett County police on Monday morning and charged with one count of felony animal abuse.
The Falcons confirmed the arrest in a brief statement.
"We're aware of the situation and we're in the process of gathering information," said Falcons spokesman Reggie Roberts. "Until we have the information we need, we will have no further comment."
Gwinnett County police spokesman Darren Moloney said Babineaux was arrested early Monday. Moloney said he did not know any specifics about the case and a report and details concerning the case would not be released Monday.
Lt. Derrick Locklear, shift commander for the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, said Babineaux was released just before 8 a.m. Monday on a $2,300 bond.
Babineaux played in all 16 games and recorded 28 tackles last season.

WASHINGTON (Sep. 30)
An impression is growing among Arab and Soviet diplomats here that President Johnson's failure to act on the Phantom jets sought by Israel indicates a new State Department-inspired tendency to seek a neutral posture between Israel and the Arabs. The new line in Arab and Soviet circles is that the United States sees an opportunity to disengage itself from Israel to some extent because President Johnson is not paying heed to domestic political considerations. The President is being depicted as following Secretary of State Dean Rusk's advice on Israel, with the State Department planning for the period between now and January when a new President takes office. U.S. diplomats reportedly wish to regain what they term "flexibility" and maneuverability for American diplomacy in the Middle East and plan to continue such a policy after January. Mr. Rusk's thinking is said to be that Israeli and American interests are not necessarily parallel and that a unique opportunity now exists to set the stage for redemption of American influence in the Moslem world.
The Arabs and Russians are privately interpreting the President's inaction on the Phantoms and some points in his recent B'nai B'rith speech as a wavering of American support of Israel. They believe that a military build-up will assure more Arab strength in negotiations after January when greater Arab might will be a reality. Deferment of negotiations is also based on hope that an American detachment from the Israeli stand on direct negotiations and other issues may further Israel's isolation.
The strategic importance of 50 Phantoms is minimized by the Arab-Soviet coalition. But the deeper meaning of President Johnson's avoidance of a long-term commitment to meet Israel's emerging requirements for sophisticated weaponry is deemed of paramount interest.

One of the best passages in scripture comes from Luke's Gospel: the Appearance of Christ on the Road to Emmaus. Two journeyers are taking the long trek to Emmaus, an ancient town northwest of Jerusalem, while discussing the crucifixion of their Messiah. While wandering, Jesus appears on the road and asks about the events they're discussing—but they do not recognize him.
One of the travelers almost rudely asks Jesus, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know of the things that have taken place there in these days?"
Jesus continues to act as though he is unaware of the situation that had unfolded, prompting the disciples to explain the events to him.
When the two travelers prepare to end their night, and it is clear that Jesus was going further, they invited him in and broke bread with him. As he took the bread, and gave it to his disciples their eyes opened as they realized they were in the presence of the risen God. Before more could be said, Jesus disappears as the disciples are left to wonder how they could not have recognized God before them.
We say: Charlottesville reveals the weeping wound of racism. What do we, the American Catholic faith community, do next? Read the editorial.
I have always found this particular passage to be relevant, because we often have the chance to see God around us, but simply fail to realize it.
Certainly, we are failing to see God in each other as we discuss immigration reform in the United Sates. Only by letting the stranger in and showing respect for their human dignity will be able to see God in our lives, the same way the travelers saw Christ at their table.
From a practical standpoint people of faith must recognize that immigration reform underscores two crucial issues: strengthening families, and upward economic mobility.
A more responsible immigration system means more opportunity for struggling families. It is estimated that over 16 million families in the United States have parents of mixed-citizenship—meaning that one parent is a US citizen, and that the other is undocumented. When one or both parents are deported, the children lack a critical support structure that allows them to live up to their full potential. Many of these parents have been waiting decades to earn citizenship, and it is time that we give them the opportunity to give back to America.
Still, immigration reform is about more than keeping families together—it is about ensuring that they have the chance to achieve the American dream. Our undocumented brothers and sisters have long been denied the opportunity to rise up the economic ladder. They have been forced to work multiple low-wage jobs in order to provide for their family. Through a path to citizenship program, we offer them the opportunity to earn more, and in turn allow them to participate more fully in our economy.
We have the opportunity to welcome the stranger in, and share the common meal that is the American experience. In the next few weeks, extreme rhetoric will be used to color these individuals as ill-intentioned criminals. As people of faith we must remember that we too are on a unique journey, together with them, on the road to Emmaus.

A public open house meeting on Anoka County's plans to reconstruct University Avenue from County Road 10 to Main Street in Blaine and Coon Rapids will take place Wednesday, Feb. 15, 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., at Blaine City Hall, 10801 Town Square Drive N.E.
The project, which begins at University Avenue's intersection with 109th Avenue/Northdale Boulevard and ends just south of Main Street N.W./125th Avenue N.E., is the final leg in the reconstruction of University Avenue from County Road 10 north to Main Street.
Two prior projects in recent years upgraded University Avenue from 109th Avenue south to County Road 10.
During the open house, the public will be able to discuss the project in an informal manner with officials from the county and the cities of Blaine and Coon Rapids, as well as project consultant, WSB & Associates, Minneapolis.
Maps, drawings and other pertinent information will be available for public inspection at the open house, according to Sharon Montague, WSB & Associates, administrative group coordinator.
With federal funds in hand, the Anoka County Board last year hired WSB to prepare an environmental assessment/environmental assessment worksheet for the project in a contract worth more than $192,000.
According to Jason Orcutt of the Anoka County Highway Department, the proposed project will reconstruct 1.56 miles of University Avenue, which is the border between Coon Rapids and Blaine, to a four-lane divided highway with shoulders, and turn lanes to be installed at all public streets to improve safety and operations.
The traffic signal at 111th Avenue will be reconstructed to connect with 111th Lane and provide a single access point, Orcutt said.
In addition, the existing traffic signals at 117th and 125th avenues will be reconstructed to accommodate two through lanes of traffic, he said.
"The proposed project also includes construction of a pedestrian/bicycle path along both sides of the roadway," Orcutt said.
At its meeting Jan. 24, the Anoka County Board, on the recommendation of its Public Works Committee, approved a purchase of service agreement with WSB for bridge design services for the project.
Under the contract, which will cost no more than $62,866, the bridge over Sand Creek will be replaced as well as an existing 88-inch span reinforced concrete elliptical pipe at the crossing of County Ditch 39.
According to Doug Fischer, county highway engineer, one of the replacements could be in the form of a box culvert.
Construction of the project is scheduled to start in the spring of 2014.
The county has received $6.4 million in federal funds for the University Avenue project, which is about 80 percent of the estimated project cost of around $8 million, Fischer said.
There will also be cost sharing by the cities of Blaine and Coon Rapids, he said.

A Fair Plan Approach For Devolution Under The Twelfth Central Finance Commission: Some Suggestions
This study has made some suggestions for the consideration of the Twelfth Finance Commission. We have provided a conceptual framework comprising eight cardinal principles abbreviated as FAIR PLAN. We have also operationalised the framework and provided a computational algorithm for inter se distribution of the states share in central taxes. The devolution scheme has been illustrated using 4 states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar as representatives of different income categories. The scheme of devolution suggested by us has been worked upon and laid out in a user friendly fashion so as to give complete flexibility for any one to modify the scheme at every stage.

HENDERSONVILLE -- Mt. Juliet overcame a 30-minute delay for rain and lightening to defeat Hendersonville 44-37 in double overtime Friday, Sept. 18. Quarterback Reed Gurchiek's 10-yard keeper in the final overtime was the difference maker as the Commandos fumbled the ball away on their third down play.
The Golden Bears remained undefeated at 4-0 (2-0 in District 9AAA) while Hendersonville slipped to 2-2 / 1-1. Chris Bazile paced the MJ offensive attack with 136 yards on nine attempts.
From Post staff reports
NEWBERRY, S.C. - Cumberland played tough in the first half, but Newberry posted three second-half TDs en route to a 20-3 win over Cumberland Saturday night at Setzler Field.
The Bulldogs (1-2) limited the home team to just 121 yards of offense in the first half, caused a pair of turnovers and held Newberry on downs once. But the bigger team wore down the Bulldogs in the second half, rushing for 159 yards after the break and three scores to post the victory.
Our defense played a great football game," said CU coach Dewayne Alexander, "I know it's the best defensive effort since I've been here. "

The Israel Defense Forces on Wednesday released the video taken by IAF aircraft showing Hamas military chief Ahmed Jabari's car being struck by a bomb in the first targeted assassination of Operation Pillar of Defense.
The video shows Jabari's Kia sedan cruising down a street in Gaza City when it is struck by the Israeli missile and engulfed in an enormous fireball. The vehicle swerves out of control, ablaze, with parts of the car — possibly the roof — blown clear of the wreck.
The blast killed Jabari and his son, and the two other passengers were injured.

Thomas Murrel, of Church Point, says, "Annette and I were returning from Baton Rouge about a week ago. She was driving, and I was scanning through a copy of The Advocate.
" 'Hey, babe,' I asked, 'what is the definition of the ultimate challenge?'
" 'Is this a trick question?' she asked. I shook my head.
"'All right then, what IS the definition of the ultimate challenge?'
"With pen in hand I answered, 'The ultimate challenge is trying to work a crossword puzzle while in a car on any road in Louisiana.'"
Selling points
Two views on a recent column topic, TV commercials:
Mary Hamilton says, "One of the ads on TV that gets me upset is the one where Fred Thompson, former senator from Tennessee and former presidential candidate, is touting the reverse mortgage.
"Fred is walking down the street explaining the advantages of a reverse mortgage and walks by a newspaper vendor, Jesse.
"At that point, Fred says, 'Isn't that right, Jesse?'
"As if Jesse actually cares what Fred is saying."
Dr. Joe Ricapito says, "I object (mildly) to the person who took exception to the ad with the expensive SUV, beautiful woman and a dog.
"I think it is a highly ingenious ad. It highlights two beautiful people, a beautiful SUV and an effective dog.
"The reader objects that the man doesn't ask for her number (when he returns the lady's scarf). Why should he? He knows where she lives."
Lovely liver
Our seminar on liver reminds T. Hendry of a wonderful dish, the "grilled chicken livers served over mustard greens and rice every day at Praline Connection on Frenchman Street in New Orleans and at their booth at the French Quarter Festival every year. YUM!"
And a Baton Rouge reader says Tim's Po-Boys, on Monterrey Boulevard, serves liver and onions six days a week.
(No need to thank me, liver lovers — public service is my life …)
The gland is my gland
Mention of liver reminds me of another organ meat I don't often find in Baton Rouge eateries, sweetbreads.
These are the thymus glands of calves or lambs, and I guarantee they taste much better than they sound.
Prepared right, they're mild and buttery.
My favorites are the ones at Susan Spicer's New Orleans restaurant, Bayona.
(Why do I think there'll be a trip south of Baton Rouge in my near future?)

Super League: Shaun Wane says Wigan's win over Salford was 'unbelievably satisfying'
Coach Shaun Wane expressed his pride after his youthful Wigan side clinched a 25-4 victory against Salford.
Last Updated: 23/05/14 10:38am
Teenage winger Joe Burgess scored two of his side's four tries as the Warriors overcame the absence of nine regulars to narrow the gap to Super League Leaders Leeds to one point.
Hooker Michael McIlorum was also forced to depart early on with a knee injury but the Warriors still dominated their opponents away from home.
"That was unbelievably satisfying, especially after losing Micky Mac and Scott Taylor couldn't play long," Wane said.
"It shows our strength in depth and all credit to our youth system - kids like Ryan Sutton, Rocky Hampshire and Joe Burgess are coming in and not only playing but playing really well."
Wigan were just 4-0 ahead at the break after second rower John Bateman scored on the stroke of half-time, but there was never any real doubt over the outcome.
Wane added: "They were playing with the wind so I was satisfied at half-time. I have watched a lot of Salford and I knew that, if we defended well and concentrated, we could stop them scoring.
"I am really pleased. It was a fantastic win. They are a good team who throw things at teams. I thought we defended well and I was just disappointed at the end (when Francis Meli scored a consolation try) because I thought we deserved a nil."
Wane revealed that he opted not to play McIlorum for the final hour of the match as a precaution.
"He's strained his knee ligaments and we've a big game coming up in a couple of weeks so I didn't want to risk him," he said.
The outcome was a disappointment for Salford coach Iestyn Harris, whose side have taken just three points out of a possible 14 since he left his role as assistant at Wigan to succeed Brian Noble, but he remains convinced they are making progress.
"I thought defensively we had a real dig. It was a real physical game. I didn't think there was a whole lot between the two teams. I just thought they had too much pace for us on the end if I'm honest," he said.
"We could have been a little bit more clinical at times but I thought it was a big improvement from us defensively tonight because they are a very good side. I thought we defended very well for large parts of the game. We've got make sure we've got to keep moving in the same direction.
"We've made some big improvements. The biggest concern for me was the defensive system and I think we're looking a lot more solid."

Short-changed homeowner writes: On January 10, the homeowners in our street placed our rubbish bins outside our gated community in Atholl, Sandton, for collection by Pikitup on Friday.
Since we left the bins on Thursday, vagrants plundered them and made a huge mess at the entrance to our street.
If Pikitup is to remove the garbage on Saturdays, why doesn't it tell us? This has been happening for six months.
Pikitup replies: We are aware of the issues around refuse collections. We have communicated the temporary solutions. If a resident's bin has not been collected on the scheduled day, leave it out as it will be collected on the day which follows.
Most garden sites fill up rapidly. To clear away the refuse, we need to shut down the over-capacitated garden site for a while.
The management team at Pikitup would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused. We are working on resuming normal refuse collections as soon as possible.

A high-contrast mix of textures and a paired-down palette of neutrals dominated Alexander Wang's Resort 2013 collection. The designer said he was interested in "the idea of suspension, cutting things apart and tacking them back together," and the notion manifested itself not just in the designer's use of angular layers and juxtaposed fabrics — slick leather, whisper-light sheers, faux croc, and tactile knits — but also in the cutaway flaps, seamed panels, and delicate straps that dominated each look.

THE Waratahs survived a determined Rebels fightback to make it two wins on the trot in Sydney last night and retain the Weary Dunlop Shield. The 30-21 victory gives the side much-needed momentum heading into their clash next week with the Crusaders, who obliterated the Hurricanes in the earlier match.
But injury worries - fullback Bernard Foley will have scans on his shoulder after a tackle on Lachie Mitchell - and a suspension concern for centre Rob Horne could cast a shadow over preparations.
Horne will be scrutinised by the judiciary after a lifting tackle on former Waratah Kurtley Beale. The pair talked in the aftermath but the peace-making failed to save Horne from time in the sin-bin and is unlikely to help at a judiciary level.
Just a few minutes earlier the characteristically low-profile centre profited from a patient period of phase play to slip past Beale for a try in the 57th minute.
Coach Michael Foley said he believed Horne might have tried to pull off the tackle at the last minute. ''I'd have to watch it back on replay, obviously Rob's a fairly committed defender,'' Foley said. ''I did sort of pick up the fact that he probably pulled out of it, he didn't finish it off.''
The home side stamped their authority all over the southerners early in the game but again allowed their opponents back into the contest. From a Foley try in the opening 30 seconds to another two from Tatafu Polota-Nau and Horne as part of 14 unanswered points in the third quarter, the home side was 13 points in front in the 57th minute. Tries to Rebels replacement Tim Davidson and winger Mitchell then put the visitors back in the game.
The Rebels narrowed the deficit to nine points but the Waratahs held off the resurgence for a second week running to string together their first consecutive wins of the season.
''I thought there was good balance to our game,'' coach Foley said. ''A lot of good ball movement early and … there was some excellent support, particularly from depth, and there was some good forward play.
''There were things we could have controlled in the second half a little bit better but at the same time we kept playing and I thought that was a big plus out of the game.''
An improved Melbourne outfit managed to kill off one curse, scoring their first ever regular try against the Waratahs and following up with a second and then a third in the second half. Winger Mark Gerrard played a superb kicking game for his side and forwards Ged Robinson and Davidson secured five points each.
Beale's homecoming didn't look like firing up until the third quarter, when he set up Mitchell's try and converted to make it 30-14. But even the attacking brilliance of last year's John Eales medallist wasn't enough in the face of the Waratahs' staunch defence.
Halfback Brendan McKibbin's boot again gave the home side an all-important buffer on the scoreboard. McKibbin put in another commendable performance and appears to enjoy directing his forwards around the park more and more.
The Waratahs couldn't put on a bonus-point try but will be happy enough for the win and an eight-day preparation for the Crusaders, who look to be in electrifying form.
The Waratahs forwards were excellent yet again while the shallow, lateral kick-off that failed to work for Berrick Barnes against the Chiefs in Hamilton three rounds ago finally worked tonight and paid off within seconds. Wycliff Palu took the ball over the Rebels' 22m line for halfback McKibbin and Barnes to set up their fullback's stunning try.
Meanwhile, a superb first-half display from the Crusaders set up an impressive 42-14 victory over the Hurricanes in Wellington last night. The result lifted the Christchurch-based franchise into the top six of the competition at the expense of the Hurricanes, who dropped out of the finals spot.
NSW WARATAHS 30 (Bernard Foley, Rob Horne, Tatafu Polota-Nau tries Brendan McKibbin 3 cons 3 pens) bt MELBOURNE REBELS 21 (Tim Davidson, Lachlan Mitchell, Ged Robinson tries Kurtley Beale, Julian Huxley, James O'Connor cons) at Allianz Stadium. Referee: Jonathan Kaplan. Crowd: 17,673.

The ATP has abandoned its plan to reserve the majority of places in doubles tournaments for those playing in the singles event.
That ruling would have affected doubles specialists like American pair Bob and Mike Bryan, who had backed the lawsuit.
But they said on Sunday: "We got 80% of what we wanted (from the ATP)."
The ATP has also dropped its controversial plan to abbreviate sets to the first to five games.
However, some scoring changes have already taken effect.
Matches at ATP and Challenger level feature a "super tiebreak" instead of a third set and instead of playing advantage at deuce, the winner of the next point takes the game.
"The only thing left that we could fight was the new scoring system," said Mike Bryan.
"We're going to give it a shot for a year. If it's not working, we're going to go back to the old system."
The lawsuit was filed in September in US District Court in Houston.
Among the plaintiffs were the Bryans, Mark Knowles of the Bahamas and doubles partner Daniel Nestor of Canada.
The world's top men's doubles players are to take their grievances over planned rule changes to court.
A complaint against the ATP, men's tennis' governing body, was filed at a federal court in Houston.
The players are seeking an injuncton to stop the ATP from implementing the changes, which would include shortening matches and amending qualifying rules.
"If we don't unite, there might not be a game of doubles," said Mike Bryan, one of the world's top doubles players.
"Our backs are against the wall," added Bryan, a specialist in the two-man game alongside twin brother Bob.
Under the new ATP scheme, players would have to qualify for the singles tournament to be eligible to compete in doubles events.
Sets would be abbreviated to the first to five games, with no breaks at the changeover and a sudden-death point at deuce.
More than 20 top doubles players, including world number one Jonas Bjorkman, attended a news conference before the start of Friday's play at the Australian Open.
Players' lawyer John Sullivan said: "We are not seeking any monetary damages.
"All we want is the ATP to assume responsibility they should have before and change the rules back and protect the game of doubles."
The scoring changes will be tested in six tournaments beginning the week after the US Open, while the new qualifying system is planned for 2008.
ATP spokesman David Higdon said: "I hope everyone can step aside and we can talk together and grow the game.
"These changes are experimental. They are definitely not set in stone."

MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - Three days after a mock Wild West shootout in Hill City, South Dakota ended with three tourists wounded, authorities were still trying on Monday to determine if some real bullets were fired by mistake.
Three spectators were hospitalized on Friday evening after receiving "wounds that were consistent with bullet-type injuries," Lieutenant Marty Graves of the Pennington County Sheriff's Department told Reuters.
The guns used in the show were supposed to be loaded with fake bullets known as blanks, Graves said. No real bullets or bullet fragments were recovered from the scene.
But a doctor who operated on the two most seriously wounded tourists -- 65-year-old Carrol Knutson of Birchwood, Minnesota with a leg wound and 48-year-old John Ellis of South Connellsville, Pennsylvania with a calf injury -- told investigators they looked like bullet wounds.
Also injured was 52-year-old Jose Pruneda of Alliance, Nebraska, who received a superficial wound to his shoulder, Graves said.
All three were in "fair" condition on Saturday and have since been released from Rapid City Regional Hospital, Graves said.
Graves hopes forensic analysis of the victims' clothing will provide answers.
"A forensic lab can look at the shapes in the clothing to determine what went through," Graves said.
Confused also was show videographer Phyllis Masten.
"It was the end of the show and the two behind me had started yelling that they were shot and then blood started spraying out everywhere," Masten told a local ABC affiliate.
"No definitive conclusion has been determined by the investigation," Graves said. "Our hope is that we will conclude it shortly."

Michelin Latitude Tour
Initial Review: 60,000 miles on tires
November 26, 2012
These tires are definitely as advertised. I just bought a new set to replace the ones i have before winter. OEM tires were shot at 30,000. Have over 60,000 on the current tires and they are just above the wear indicators. Good ride, very responsive, quiet, great traction in all weather conditions. Great tires.

Our outstanding Kiwis
The Queen's Birthday Honours list for 2012 has left six South Canterbury recipients humbled.
A list of recipients has been revealed, which acknowledges four South Canterbury residents for services to the community, one for services to literature and one for services to music. Former South Canterbury man Michael Houstoun has also been honoured for his services to New Zealand music.
Timaru author Owen Marshall is among the list of Queen's Birthday Honours – making it round two.
Mr Marshall, who had previously been honoured as a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit, has been made a Companion of the Order.
"It was a bit of a surprise because a decade or so ago I did get an award, so I certainly wasn't expecting anything [again]."
Mr Marshall was nominated for services to literature.
"As well as the writing, it perhaps reflects the work [I do] on the Arts Board of Creative New Zealand and the board of New Zealand Book Council – you never know how these things happen," he said of his nomination.
Mr Marshall was a secondary school teacher for 25 years before becoming a fulltime author.
He published his first collection of short stories in 1979 and has since written and edited more than 24 books, including novels, short stories and poetry.
His work has been published internationally and he has received numerous awards and fellowships for his efforts. In 2005 the University of Canterbury appointed him an adjunct professor.
Mr Marshall said he owed "a lot" to his wife Jackie, who has given him "a considerable amount of support" over the years.
Renowned Kiwi muso and Geraldine native Jordan Luck had a big surprise for his mum this morning.
He was named a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.
Eighty-year-old Elizabeth, who is in London for the diamond jubilee celebrations got the good news via Skype.
Luck, who is holidaying in Nelson with his sister, planned an early start this morning in order to surprise his mum.
He has sung with The Exponents for 30 years and written and performed 18 Top 40 singles during his career.
It all started in South Canterbury where, as a lad, Luck and bandmates played pubs and halls on the road to national fame.
Hits included Victoria, Why Does Love Do This To Me, and I'll Say Good Bye (Even Though I'm Blue).
Luck is an ambassador for Parkinsons New Zealand, KidsCan, and mentors upcoming songwriters with the Play It Strange Trust.
He accepted the honour on behalf of "all musicians of Aotearoa".
"There's a lot more work to do still; I haven't climbed Everest yet," he said.
"I feel humbled; I feel worthy in the respect of mum and dad, who let me grow up the way I wanted to."
Michael Houstoun grew up in Timaru and started playing the piano at the age of five. Today he has been honoured for his services to New Zealand music.
The now Manawatu-based pianist has become a companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
Mr Houstounnow lives near Feilding.
According to his website, by the time he was 18 he had won every major piano competition in New Zealand.
Mr Houstoun has been recognised for championing New Zealand music and regularly features works from New Zealand composers Douglas Lilburn and John Psathas in his programmes.
A documentary was made about Mr Houstoun's battle with a neurological condition that affected his hands in 2001.
He overcame the potentially career-ending condition, focal hand dystonia, through physiotherapy and acupuncture.
The condition did not cause pain, only dysfunction, and prevented him from playing the piano properly.
It took a year of treatment to bring his muscles and postural alignment back to a normal condition.
In 2005, Mr Houstoun said on a blog that eventually he settled on the idea that the involuntary movements could only be countered through relaxation.
"This was primarily a mental matter. And the changes which needed to be made had to be made at the piano."
Five years after the first signs of focal dystonia he played his first full solo recital.
Mr Houstoun's citation said he has been instrumental in the promotion of New Zealand music.
His anthology of New Zealand composers won Best Classical Album at the 2008 New Zealand Music Awards.
He is patron of Palmerston North's Regent on Broadway theatre and the Nelson School of Music.
Mr Houstoun has been awarded honorary doctorates in literature and music from Massey University and Victoria University respectively.
With 50 years of voluntary work under his belt, Garry Dumble has received a Queen's Service Medal (QSM).
His work also included planning and constructing Timaru's Mountain View Village, where he now lives.
He has continued to assist within the village whenever he can, helping residents with housing and general concerns.
Mr Dumble has also dedicated many years to Lions, a community service group. For his efforts he has received humanitarian and service awards from the Lions Club International Foundation and through the Timaru Suburban Lions Club, of which he has been a member for 42 years. He also received a Timaru District Council community award in 2006 for outstanding voluntary services to the citizens of Timaru.
Mr Dumble is a life member of the Lloyd Morgan Lions Club Charitable Trust, and was an elected member of the Southland County Council and the Southland United Council. He was also a member of the Lumsden fire brigade for 21 years and was appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1971.
His latest achievement has "knocked him back a bit", he said.
Volunteering in his community is something Mr Dumble has enjoyed.
"I get a lot of pleasure, especially with Lions projects, where you're helping the needy ... I work away and see what I've left behind, and people are better off."
A stalwart of the Plunket and Presbyterian Church support groups, Alison Linscott has received a QSM for services to the community.
She has been "heavily" involved in the community over the years, primarily through Plunket and Presbyterian Church support groups.
Mrs Linscott continues to be a long-serving member of the Plunket Society. She was president of the Timaru branch and Highfield sub-branch and is currently a volunteer for the Giving Parents Support Scheme. She is an elder of the Presbyterian Church and was a session clerk from 1999 to 2006, a moderator of the South Canterbury presbytery, and a member of the Association of Presbyterian Women. She is a founding member of Presbyterian Support's Big Buddy scheme and served from 1998 to 2010 as a big buddy.
Mrs Linscott has also been a member of Amnesty International in South Canterbury since 1984, was chairperson of the Trade Aid Trust and provided fundraising for the start of the Life Education Trust.
Her services to the community continues today as a committee member of the Women's Loan Fund and member of the South Canterbury branch of the National Council of Women.
Mrs Linscott's latest accolade has left her "quite shocked," because she did not believe she had done any more than "a great number of other people".
Conservation has seen Rosemary Acland's name added to this year's list of Queen's Birthday Honours.
She received a QSM for her services to the community, particularly for her role as chairperson of the Rangitata Gorge Landcare Group.
She has had the role since 1998. During that time she has brought groups and government departments together to support and help control invasive weeds and pests in the upper Rangitata River.
Mrs Acland was also a member of the Aoraki Conservation Board and chairperson of the Lincoln University Foundation. She established the Peel Forest Plan, the Peel Forest Enhancement Group and initiated the Geraldine Community Resource Centre Te Rito, which opened in 2007.
Mrs Acland is a lay minister in the Geraldine Anglican Parish. She is also a funeral celebrant and was the Geraldine High School chaplain from 1999 to 2000.
Jim Morris has raised more than $100,000 for charity through his poetry, and now his services to the community have been recognised with a QSM
The Omarama man raised money for charity, in particular for the Cancer Society and Age Concern, through sales of his books and CDs of his popular poems.
He has also donated proceeds from speaking engagements.
Mr Morris is a committed conservationist and advocate for the South Island High Country. He has also helped other farmers with their tenure reviews.
Mr Morris initiated the High Country Carbon Project, comparing total carbon sequestration between retired and grazed land.
Now he is teaching outdoor skills and work skills, in a voluntary capacity, to Mt Aspiring College students.
Mr Morris said being recognised for all of his work came as a surprise.
"I'm very humbled to think people thought what I had done might have been worthy of something."
He had considered declining the honour.
"When you do that sort of thing you don't look for accolades. But all these friends spent long hours putting together a proposal nominating me.
"I guess in a lot of ways it's an honour of the friendships, of the people that had written in, because they had gone to the effort," Mr Morris said.

Aston Villa had to work really hard to get a 3-3 draw in an thrilling match against Everton.
Villa went two goals down after a Marouane Fellaini strike and a Tim Cahill header put Everton into a strong lead.
Villa got one back before half time, but after the break Steven Pienaar blasted a 20-yard shot to restore the two goal lead for Everton.
Villa then came back and almost won the game with good chances late on.
Everton could have overtaken Villa in the Premier League if they had held on for a win.
The result means Aston Villa stay in fifth spot and Everton remain sixth. It seems unlikely that either team will now catch Arsenal in fourth and get the important place in the Champion's League that comes with that position.
Good win for Fulham
In today's other Premier League match Fulham came from one goal down to beat Manchester City 3-1. The win puts Fulham up two places to eighth in the Premier League.
It's been a bad few days for Man City. Last week they were beaten by Hamburg in the Uefa Cup, by the same 3-1 score.

Looking back, this semester has been quite manageable. It got hectic at times, especially with the rather demanding NM4228, but it was the right amount of challenge to keep me motivated.
Hmm, maybe I should post a module review soon.
The best part of the semester was meeting new people who made school life much more enjoyable. I usually take classes on my own, and I didn't expect to make new friends in the later part of my NUS life, BUT I DID (▰˘v˘▰)
The CNM life is filled with projects. I had 4 modules but 5 project groups, go figure.
Most of my experiences were smooth, although sometimes certain people annoy the living crap out of me. But every now and then, I am lucky enough to meet people who weren't just godsent group mates but people who turn into amazing friends.
Went through so many meetings and so much shit (rumour activity, mock press conference and CCP) with this group. Spent several weekends sitting on the uncomfortable benches outside Guardian for hours on end. Had several sleepless nights rushing work or fending off fake rumours on our Facebook page lulz. I had such high expectations and I think I really tried pushing everyone to squeeze out their max efforts. Must have been really annoying for them. I don't even know what to expect for our work, but I really hope we do well. This photo was taken after our mock press conference, so our brains were pretty much gone.
And now, I am left with NM2209 finals.
I am feeling so unmotivated and uninspired. I always chiong through the semester to churn our assignments and projects, then lose steam when it's time to study for finals.
Miraculously woke up at 6am today and thought I would have a productive day ahead, but I ended up sleeping it away. Urgh. So annoyed with myself for throwing my day away. D I S A P P O I N T E D.
I am being such a whiny bitch today but at the same time, I am afraid of being too annoying and chasing people away. So I whine for a bit then get all insecure about being annoying. What the fak eve, get your shit together.
So instead of whining to people and scaring them away, I am rambling here instead. Sigh.
I realised that when I'm in such a mood, the most reassuring thing to hear is not "jiayou you can do it" (although I appreciate that a lot). To be honest, at the back of my mind, I am aware that I can do it if I put my mind to it. I am just not motivated enough to do so. Maybe the content is not inspiring enough for me to start studying, maybe I put too much pressure on myself to get things done well such that the inertia becomes too strong.
In such situations, the most reassuring thing to hear is "it's ok, whine all you want, I don't think it's annoying, I'm here to listen." Of course, assuming that the person genuinely means it.
I am not insecure about my abilities because I know I am not incapable, just lazy. But I am insecure about being too annoying for others to handle. I mean, why would anybody want to hear me whine? Nobody brought it upon him/herself to be on the receiving end of such negativity.
At the same time, I hate bottling up my feelings. Good mood bad mood, I don't like keeping it in. So... here I am, whining on my blog.
Okay, I just drank coffee and it's 2am so I guess it's time to start studying.

Bad news for the Kobo battery.

How are you coming to a 3 year life of the Kobo? Given the batteries in most consumer electronics are calculated at between 300-500 charge cycles, IF you charge the Kobo once per week (worst case scenario), that equals 50 times a year. At worst you'd be looking at 6 years before the battery starts to decade (under ideal conditions).
If you take a look at the wiki here on the forums you'll see pics of a Kobo dismantled, so if in as you are saying 3 years the battery needs replacing, you should be able to dismantle the Kobo and replace the battery with relative ease. Provided the same voltage (and at least the same mah to keep good uptime between charges) battery is used you'd be fine.
Then again as others have pointed out with changes in technology etc, it is more probable you would have replaced it with a newer model because you want to rather than the Kobo is all worn out.
Ultimately if you are worried about battery replacement you could look at the Eco Reader, it uses a standard Nokia mobile battery, which is user replaceable.

For years, Minnesota has had one of the cleanest and best election systems in the country. The alleged voter fraud is not only an argument without merit, but will do little to minimize the miniscule amount of voter fraud. County attorneys throughout Minnesota say that 95 percent of all voter fraud happens when ex-felons vote before their probation period is completed.
The Voter ID Amendment is an unfunded mandate. That means if the amendment passes, we taxpayers will see taxes increased to pay for implementation of this amendment. The state of Minnesota will spend some $12 to $16 million to both produce voter photo IDs and to educate the citizenry regarding changes in mail-in and absentee voting, changes to Election Day registration and the introduction of provisional balloting.
Every county will spend millions on re-occurring costs of provisional balloting, electronic rosters for polling places and converting mail-in precincts to in-person precincts. In reality, the Voter ID cost will be a poll tax on voters.
As if all the added costs to citizens is not bad enough, the Voter ID Amendment would also create a totally unnecessary perpetual barrier to voting. The Voter ID amendment would stop students, people with housing instability, communities of color, people with disabilities, rural Minnesotans, older Minnesotans and active-duty service members from having a voice in our democracy.
This is just the opposite of what a democratic form of government should encourage. The simplistic excuse that voters should have voter IDs just as people have credit cards is fallaciously comparing apples to oranges in order to suppress voter turnout.
Let's not be motivated by fear and misguided judgment. Please vote no to Voter IDs and remove from office those who support such irresponsible nonsense.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/2/2013 (1638 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
In our current society with credit cards, debit cards, rewards cards, Paypass cards, PayPal, EFT and many more onvenient online ways to access money and pay bills, how do you teach children to handle money?
According to the Financial Planning Standards Council, "parental influences continue to be vital to shaping the saving and spending habits of Canadian youth."
An article at fpsc.ca called "Backgrounder: Teachable Moments" offers many tips on ways to involve a child or teen in financial decisions. One of those suggestions is quite simple: "Open up a savings account and teach them about deposits and withdrawals."
In fall 2012, a local financial institution, Caisse Financial Group, launched a new online tool to help its youngest members become more financially savvy.
St. Francois Xavier parent Tracey Claeys encouraged her children to start saving years ago with Caisse Club accounts, which have historically been promoted in Manitoba schools.
Claeys' 13-year-old daughter, Laura Didyk, "gets a set amount of money for clothes and stuff" Claeys says. Part of the new program includes providing a child account holder a debit card with parental permission.
When asked how having a debit card helps her, Laura did not hesitate: "I don't have to borrow money. I can check my balances online and track my spending in my chequebook anytime."
Laura's 10-year-old brother, Tyler Didyk has been helping on his grandfather's farm in the summer and he saves all his money. He says: "I'll only spend it on really important things, maybe like a new iPod."
Diane Bilodeau, vice-president, of marketing of marketing and strategy for Caisse Financial Group says: "We are very pleased with the level of interest shown since the launch of our Youth PLU$ program.
"We have many ideas for the future phases of the program such as an iPod-app and other online tools. With the support of our partnering schools and the parents, we hope to make a significant contribution to the financial education of our youth."
Several other financial institutions now offer online learning opportunities.

Overall Satisfaction
Recently purchased the AblePhone AP5000 Voice Activated Phone Number Dialer in support of my 93 years old mother-in-law. I was uncertain that the product would work as advertised, and to my pleasant surprise, it certainly was very easy to install and configure. It asks to repeat the name of the person to be added as well as the number being dialed. Prior to installing this product over this past memorial day weekend, my mother-in-law was very limited due to very poor eye sight, now she is tickled with the freedom that this product has given her. It was a great investment as she now has to freedom to reach out and connect to her loved ones simply by picking up the phone handset then saying the name of the person to be called as programmed into the AP5000 module. Great product for the vision impaired. (Posted on 6/5/2016)

Track of the Week -- Justin Timberlake,
Suit & Tie (featuring Jay-Z)
óè justintimberlake.com
With a quick teaser video sending the web into a tailspin last week, Justin Timberlake jumped back into the musical spotlight, after a nearly seven-year absence. The former 'N Sync singer wasn't going to waste any time and dropped a new Timbaland-produced cut with the reigning king of hip hop stopping by for a quick verse. You get the impression that Jay-Z recorded his verse between business meetings and shopping for baby clothes, he never feels totally committed to the beat. Reaction to Suit & Tie has been mixed, with Timberlake supporters hailing his return to the mic, while critics not impressed with the lukewarm R 'n' B vibe. "The inspiration for this really came out of the blue and to be honest, I didn't expect anything out of it," he wrote. "I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs. It was probably the best time I've had in my career... What I came up with is something I couldn't be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to and some new found muses that I've discovered along the way." Check out justintimberlake.com or you'll have to fire up your old MySpace account or create a new one if you want access to Timberlake's new track. In a shrewd marketing move, the MySpace shareholder is using his comeback to drive some traffic to the social networking ghost town.
