A West Coast netball team competing in an Australian tournament at the weekend have been forced to change their name as organisers raised concerns over a possible double meaning.

The Greymouth side, formerly known as the Master Baiters, are headed for the Sydney World Masters Games under the title new Master Netters - a less risque reference to whitebaiting, The Press reports.

Would you support a tax break for pet care?

Pet_care_tax_deduction In the midst of all the heated conversation about health-care reform, a Michigan Congressman is sponsoring a bill to give pet owners a tax break for pet care.

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mi) has introduced H.R. 3501 to create a deduction of up to $3,500 on federal tax returns for the care of "qualified" pets, defined as "legally owned, domesticated, and live animals." Animals used for business purposes–say, a dog that helps round up sheep or a cat filmed in TV commercials–aren't covered. The bill says qualified care includes veterinary care, though it doesn't mention what else (pet sitting? chew toys?) would be included. There's no apparent provision for people who don't itemize and utilize the standard deduction instead. And there's no word on whether the pet needs a valid Social Security number. (Just kidding.)

Not that there is anything wrong with it

2-Year-Old Has Same IQ as Einstein

(MYFOX NATIONAL) - A 2-year-old British boy has become the youngest boy in Britain to become a member of Mensa -- the oldest and best known high-IQ society in the world.


Oscar's parents said they knew from about the time that he was 12 weeks old that Oscar was extremely bright.

"He is always asking questions," his father Joe said. "Every parent likes to think their child was special but we knew there was something particularly remarkable about Oscar. ... Oscar was recently telling my wife about the reproductive cycle of penguins."

"His vocabulary is amazing. He's able to construct complex sentences," Oscar's mother Hannah added. "The other day he said to me, 'Mummy, sausages are like a party in my mouth.'"

Leslie Cochran reported in critical condition
Austin's thong-wearing homeless icon found with possible head injury last week.

Albert "Leslie" Cochran — Austin's homeless, thong-clad celebrity — remains in a semi-vegetative state at University Medical Center Brackenridge after he was found unconscious on a sidewalk by a taxi driver Oct. 3, according to a public health official with knowledge of the incident.

The official said that Cochran's injuries are life-threatening and that if he survives, he may experience "life-altering effects," including remaining in a vegetative state.

"He's very, very sick," the official said.

The taxi driver found Cochran near Oltorf Street and Interstate 35 at 1 a.m. and called police and Emergency Medical Services, said the official, who did not want to be named because the matter concerns confidential patient information.

When EMS arrived, Cochran, 58, had no outward signs of trauma, and all indications pointed to a closed head injury, the official said. Cochran was barely responsive, was not breathing well on his own and was considered a "critical trauma injury," the official said.

University Medical Center said it could not confirm that Cochran was there.

A hospital spokeswoman said a patient's information may not be available for different reasons, saying it is possible a family member requested that the information not be released.

Cochran has established himself as an Austin fixture, known for his skimpy outfits, cross-dressing and unsuccessful mayoral campaigns. He typically can be seen downtown clad in thongs, tiaras, boas and high heels.

He appeared in a local ad for a pager business during the 2001 Super Bowl wearing a pink bikini and is featured in refrigerator magnets that can be bought in stores around the city and from which he has received 20 percent of the profit.

Through the years, he has been arrested by Austin police on various counts of public intoxication, urination and defecation in the street, public camping and harassment.

Alan Graham, president of Mobile Loaves and Fishes, said he has known Cochran for years, and from conversations with him in the past, he knew Cochran suffered hardships living on the streets, despite his high profile and playful nature.

"It doesn't surprise me when people who live on the streets eventually end up in hospitals," Graham said. "Existing medical conditions can be exacerbated by lack of nutrition and shelter, and Leslie was no exception to that."

Graham said Cochran will be in his prayers.

Steve Hamilton said he comes through Austin every winter, selling postcards and living on the street, and always looks forward to seeing Cochran. Hamilton said he had not seen him in the past two weeks and had been wondering where he was.

"He hasn't been around, and everybody knows when he is. That is a fact," Hamilton said.
