Nolfoc's fantasy football league

Okay so I know a few exist on the site already but I figured ill start one for members that keep missing out on getting in a league over here, myself included

I'm thinking a 14 team league I currently play in 2 now and I love how competitive big leagues are.. 12 and 10 team is too easy and everybody has stacked teams.. This is for the elite that know thier FF!

I'm thinking either a 50 buck entry or each player has to buy the winner a bluray of their choice up to 30 bucks.. Let me know what you guys prefer or any other suggestions

So far I have 3 yes's myself included.. So I need 11 more.. If I can't get the league filled by the last week off preseason than oh well it was worth a shot

1. Nolfoc
2. Slikkbrad
3. Slikkbrads (wife)

I will post rules once this thread gets more active

Indigenous incarceration rate a 'cancer'

Indigenous incarceration rates are a national crisis that has been likened to a cancer, according to legal experts from across the nation.

The Law Council of Australia, the Australian Bar Association, and the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency met in Darwin on Friday to discuss ways to address the over-representation of Indigenous Australians in jails.

It comes more than 20 years after the landmark Royal Commission into Deaths in Custody - called because First Australians made up around 14 per cent of those in jails, despite being just 2.5 per cent of the population.

'In 2013, despite 339 recommendations, $40 million dollars, three years worth of coronial inquests ... the figure now is 26 per cent,' NT Bar Association president John Lawrence said.

'We've virtually doubled what it was 20 years ago when we then felt it was necessary to have a Royal Commission.

'We are at absolute crisis point.

'What is required now is for governments - each and every one of them - to acknowledge that that is a scandal, and secondly to undertake on behalf of the community of Australia to bring in measures which will attack this cancer.'

The conference discussed the problem with pouring money into prisons and 'tough on crime' political campaigns, and the fact that this was doing nothing to address the ballooning problem.

A communique has been released, calling for the inclusion of justice reform as a Closing the Gap initiative.

It also calls for a broader move towards justice reinvestment practices, the reconsideration of policies around prevention and early intervention, and for components of the Federal Crimes Act to be repealed to allow for the recognition of customary law.

Microsoft's Fresh Paint drawing app comes to Windows Phone 8

Microsoft's popular Windows 8 / RT app Fresh Paint is now available for Windows Phone 8. The app lets you use your touch screen to create original artworks, as well as edit photos to make them look more like paintings. You can either open up a photo in the app or use the Fresh Paint filters directly in the Camera app using Windows Phone 8's Lenses feature.

As you'd expect, you'll be able to share your artworks and photos via text message, email, or back them up and share with Microsoft's SkyDrive. It's available as a free download for any Windows Phone 8 device with 1GB of RAM ? so the freshly-announced Nokia Lumia 625 isn't compatible.

Frontback Is A Deeply Personal Photo-Taking App To Capture Fleeting Moments

Frontback FeaturedFrom the team behind Checkthis, Frontback is a straightforward iPhone photo-taking app to capture the moment as it happens. You launch the app, take a photo of what you have in front of you, take a photo of your face and share the digital collage on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. It’s addictive, very easy to understand, and, more importantly, deeply personal. “People tell us that they want to see their friends, not only what their friends see,” co-founder and designer Fr?d?ric Della Faille told me. “We want to own the selfie,” he continued. The Frontback concept isn’t something new. When you make a post on Checkthis, you can add as many photos as you want, as well as text and headlines. Nearly four months ago, Della Faille first posted two pictures on Checkthis of New York’s beautiful landscape and his reaction. He explained the concept of a ‘#frontback’ at the same time. Over the past few months, I have started noticing that more and more users were posting #frontback pictures on Checkthis. Like in the early days of Twitter, a user invented a new use case — except that this time around, the user was Checkthis’ co-founder. There wasn’t any sort of #frontback wizard tool to ease the process of creating them. Users were only experiencing with this newfound lingo and artistic rules. It’s all about immersing yourself and putting yourself in your friends’ shoes. Enter Frontback, the app. It was released today in the App Store. Now, there is no whitespace around a Frontback photo, absolutely no chrome. The photo itself doesn’t have any filter. It’s just two square-ish photos on top of each other, filling up the entire screen of your iPhone. It’s all about immersing yourself and putting yourself in your friends’ shoes. “It tells so much more than a photo on Instagram,” Instagram designer Tim Van Damme recently told Della Faille. “Two photos change everything,” Della Faille told me. “On Instagram, you share something because it’s beautiful, but you don’t share the context,” he continued. Frontback isn’t another social network. For now, it’s built on top of Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. When a friend joins Frontback, you automatically follow him or her, without having to do anything. And of course, you’ll probably start seeing their Frontback posts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram as well. Della Faille now hopes that users will launch the Frontback app to

Wave of blue fluorescence reveals pathway of death in worms

[unable to retrieve full-text content]The final biological events in the life of a worm are described in a new article. The paper reveals how death spreads like a wave from cell to cell until the whole organism is deceased.

Starry Night: Colors of Summer Stars Explained

One of the pleasures people can get out of stargazing is noticing and enjoying the various colors that stars display in dark skies.

These hues offer direct visual evidence of how stellar temperatures vary. A good many of the summer luminaries ? such as brilliant Vega which this week stands nearly overhead at around midnight ? are bluish-white, but we can easily find other, contrasting colors there as well.

Look at reddish Antares, which is due south at around 10 p.m. EDT, and the yellowish-white Altair, which stands high in the south at 1 a.m. EDT. Considerably removed from this summer retinue, brilliant yellow-orange Arcturus holds forth in solitary splendor about halfway up in the west-southwest as darkness falls on these balmy July evenings. [Images: Best Stargazing Events of July 2013 (Sky Maps)]

Double color

Probably the most colorful double star in the night sky can now be found about two-thirds of the way up from the eastern horizon to the point directly overhead at 10 p.m. local daylight time: Albireo in the constellation of Cygnus, the swan, also known as the Northern Cross. Albireo supposedly marks the swan's beak, or the base of the cross.?

A small telescope or even a pair of steadily held binoculars will readily split Albireo into two tiny points of light of beautiful contrasting colors: the brighter one a rich yellowish-orange, the other a deep azure blue, both placed very close together.

Astronomer Garrett P. Serviss referred to Albireo as "? unrivaled for beauty, the larger star being pale topaz and the smaller a deep sapphire."

You can get an absolutely stunning view of the double star with a telescope magnifying between 18 and 30 power.?

Astronomers think Albireo is a physical pair, although they have never found evidence of any orbital motion between these two colorful stars.

The projected separation between the two is just over 400 billion miles.? At least 55 solar systems could be lined-up edge-to-edge, across the space that separates the components of this famous double star.

Rods and cones

Star colors are not easy to see chiefly because our eyes' color sensors ? the cones of the retina ? are quite insensitive to dim light. At night, the rods take over, but they are effectively color-blind.? Only the brightest stars can excite the cones, unless binoculars or a telescope is used to intensify a star's light.

Color perception is aided further by the close juxtaposition of a contrasting pair of stars as in Albireo.

There is an interesting rule about the colors of telescopic double stars. If the stars of the pair are equally bright, they have the same color.? If they are unequal in brightness, they have different colors. If the brighter star is the redder of the two, as in the case of Albireo, it is a giant star; if it is the bluer, then it belongs in the main sequence of stars along with the sun.
