Yet again we are poster filled, not quite like the final Bond Bench Press (sorry Fiona); but still more than we’d like. It appears that assignments and mid-sems have sucked the creative juices dry, and Bondies are giving their hands (and brains) a rest.

Editor's Report

But there are those that have soldiered on and provided us with some light reading, and much needed distraction from Constitutional Law (unless you’re AR, then you need to put Scope down and do your damn assignment before Keyzer comes after you with a stick). Hardy kicks things off with ‘Lockouts For Dummies’, teaching us Aussies a thing or two about American sport. If you’re like me and you have NFI how NFL works, get reading. By the end of it, you’ll have enough material to work with at Don’s on Thursday. I’m sure that American you’ve been chasing will be impressed that an AUHSHEE is interested in their national sport. Also, if you’re not on the Bond Uni AFL bandwagon yet - you should be. Undefeated so far, the boys steamrolled Collingwood Park by over 100 points on Saturday. For a more detailed run down of the season, check out page 7.

LOCKOUTS FO You might not have heard, but there is something occurring in the United States of America that deserves mentioning over here in Australia. As it currently stands, there will not be an NFL and NBA season for 2011-2012. This is only the second time in history that two major teams have shut down at once. What does this mean to Australia? A LOT. Let me break it down for you, mate.

fighting to make back what they have lost over the years.

What do the owners REALLY want?

The owners of the NFL teams receive the TV revenue whether games are played or not. Therefore, if there isn’t a football season, the owners still make a cool $4.5 billion. Furthermore, salaries amount to roughly $4.4 billion. Following, even if there isn’t a football season, not only do the owners continue making their TV revenue, but they do not have to pay players.

NFL I’m Australian, what is ‘NFL’?

What do the players REALLY want?

The National Football League is the premiere sport of the US. It is so prominent that all other nations have taken our title ‘football’ and twisted it to their own meaning. It is a sport in which the players hit so hard, protection is needed (Tom Brady’s hair in this case).

Players do not want longer seasons as it leads to much greater risk of injury. It also decreases the amount of off-season time for recovery and training. Also, with a salary cap, players are at risk of only

History of the NFL lockout

In March 2006, the NFL signed a new five-year collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the players and the owners of the teams they play for. Essentially, the players are the Maccas employees and the owners are the managers of the restaurant. Every year, the owners have complained that they have been losing money due to the recession and various other factors. Furthermore, the 2010 season did not have a salary cap. A salary cap is the maximum amount any player can earn while playing. On March 3rd, the CBA expired but was graciously extended to June 7th. Since then, neither side has been able to come to an agreement.

So why are they fighting, Hardy?

The owners of NFL teams are looking to increase the number of games played each season, while implementing a salary cap for players and, thus, reducing their salaries. Owners currently make $9 billion (that’s $9,000,000,000 for all you math students), with $4.5 billion in TV revenues alone. Essentially, players are fighting not to play longer games (due to a higher risk of injury) and owners are

making a set amount of money each season. While this isn’t an issue for rookies, players such as poor Peyton Manning (earns $14 million a year) are fighting for no salary caps. Lastly, since football isn’t played as much internationally as it is in the US, players are without work.

Well, what happens now?

The NFL and players have taken the lockout to court and at the time of writing, there still isn’t an agreement on the new contract. The NFL season starts September 8th, with preseason games starting in August. Worst-case scenario is the 2011 NFL season is canceled, $160 million in revenue is lost in each city that has a NFL team, as well as 115,000 jobs. Plus, if there isn’t an NFL season this year, so help me god…

OR DUMMIES NBA

Hardy Awadjie

What do the players REALLY want?

The players on the teams want the ability to continue making more money if they perform better. Obviously, the system pays more for players such as Kobe, Lebron and Dirk because they’re actually GOOD. Players want the ability to make as much as is humanly possible without a cap, or being forced to cut back their salaries and sell the 2011 BMW in the driveway.

What the hell is the NBA?

The National Basketball Association is home to overrated basketball players such as Kobe Bryant and Lebron James. However, the NBA also attracts international players such as Yao Ming, Pau Gasol and Dirk Nowitzki. What started out as a bunch of dudes throwing a ball into a peach basket grew to a bunch of dudes dunking a ball over a car. Cool stuff, bro.

So what happens now?

History of the NBA lockout

Both sides will talk to find common ground. Currently, the system sits at 57% players, 43% owners. As it sits the owners want 54%/46% (or more if possible). However, players have rejected the offer. Team coaches and staff cannot talk to players and players cannot practice with their selected teams. However, free agents (a player not under contract) are able to fly internationally and play overseas if they so choose. Players have also been issued a “Lockout Handbook”, which guides them on saving money, investing and preparing for not playing or making money. NBA season tips off (code for ‘first game starts’) last week of October.

Unlike the NFL, the NBA is based on ticket sales. While the NBA has a salary cap in place, it is considered a ‘soft cap’ - more of a recom-

mendation than anything. On July 1st, the players and owners failed to come to an agreement on their CBA, thus, creating a lockout.

But wait, Hardy, what are they fighting about?

Imagine your boss comes up to you and says, “Hey, Hardy, we’ll increase your salary an extra $5 each hour for every six months you work.” Then in five years he comes back to you and says, “You make $30 an hour and that is the max we can pay you, because Andra is making $50 an hour”. That’s pretty much what is happening here. Owners want to replace a soft cap with a hard cap and to create that cap at $58 million per team. This is an issue because players such as Kobe make $23 million and, with 14 other players to pay out, someone is bound to draw the short stick.

What do the owners REALLY want?

The owners of the teams want a hard salary cap system, which basically means cutting players’ salaries. They also want to reduce contract lengths with players and eliminate contract guarantees. Players such as Yao Ming or Shaq who sign a contract and are guaranteed a given amount of much money and then run off and get injured, continue sitting on the bench and getting paid. Not cool, even the towel boy has to work for his $9 an hour.

Information Session Tonight

5pm - 6pm in Room 6_3_12 Like the sound of the Bond Children’s Holiday Camp? Think that you’re up to the challenge of caring for a child with a disability? Then come along tonight to our final information session to find out more about the 2011 Bond Children’s Holiday Camp. The camp is taking place this year from 19-22 December on campus at Bond. What is the Bond Children’s Holiday Camp? The camp hosts 25 children with a range of physical and intellectual disabilities who are each cared for by student volunteers. The camp is extremely beneficial for all involved: it provides much-needed respite to families, a fantastic time for the children and an immensely challenging but rewarding experience for students. Why volunteer? This is a unique experience which allows you to give back to the community. Bond is the only university in Australia which offers a camp like this and we encourage all students to apply to be part of this incredible experience. How can I apply? There is one week left to apply for carer positions! Applications close Friday Week 9 (15 July). Applications are available at the BUSA Office where they are to be submitted. Applications can also be downloaded from the Student Portal and submitted electronically to Rosie.Viner@student.bond.edu.au. Who can I contact? For more information about the Bond Children’s Holiday Camp, please email Henry Norris at henry.norris@student.bond.edu.au


Bond University FOOTBALL Club

Taylor McPhail

Over the years the Bond AFL Club has been a consistent small club at Bond. This year however was different to any other. It was this year that the Club was renamed to the Bond University Football Club or the BUFC and it entered the Queensland AFL Division 3 competition. The BUFC has gone from that club of 20 or so members that played in one game a semester to the best team in Division 3. As I write this article we are currently premiership favourites and stand undefeated at the half way point in the season and we are by no means slowing but rather gaining more momentum!

every week to put their bodies on the line to win in the name of Bond University. The next 4 rounds saw star players emerge with big utility players Jono Hawes, George Duddy, Jeremy Fitzpatrick and Ryan Lenegan throwing their weight around in the key positions. Stand out small, quick and roving players were Mark ‘Fizza’ Metzeling, Dave Tyquin, Chris Lambert and current leading goal kicker Matt McDonald. Nick Hayes, Fergus Kinnard and Vice Captain Max Toovey have also come through as Best and Fairest contenders with superb late form. During the Bond semester 1 holidays the Club saw some difficult times when numbers dropped as the Victorians and South Australians headed back to their origins for a much deserved break. The team however was not at all hindered as call in players from the Bond community were more than happy to throw on the boots for a game leaving the BUFC still undefeated at the conclusion of the holidays.

Other than the above, the 2011 season has been sensational for the Club. The pre season began in the early weeks of semester 111 and was the birth place of the BUFC’s future success with outstanding numbers at the weekly trainings. The financial membership take up during the early months was well above what the committee expected with 46 paid up members.

In wrapping up the season report I’d like to thank all the players and supporters of the Club for their efforts on and off the field this year, the Club would exist without this support. A few special mentions go out to Andrew Wood and Vince Rugari for their outstanding work as committee members and Ryan Lenegan as the University representative. Also BUSA, Blackboard Coffee, Varsity Lakes Subway and Varsity Lakes Tavern have been essential for the BUFC through their generous financial assistance.

After an extensive pre season with a heavy focus on fitness by Coach Rob Libeau the mighty Bullsharks were ready for the Round 1 away match against Jimboomba. Jimboomba at this point had not lost a home game in 3 years and were the reigning Premiers from 2010. Led by the inaugural Captain Nick Sitch gathering 25 plus possessions the boys came out on top by 5 goals! The atmosphere around the Club was ecstatic after this win and was like nothing I, after 2 years at Bond, had ever seen. Here, we had a fair dinkum team that was willing

Up the Bullsharks! Premiers to be in 2011!

My Teacher Today, I am going to open up a corpse. I’m eighteen and in my first year of university. Apprehension jars my every movement as I approach the white sheet stretched tight over a humanoid form. I stare, try to imagine, try to prepare myself. But, like a shower with water gone cold, it cannot be prepared for. This could be my grandfather, my grandmother, my uncle, an aunt. But it’s not. “Be respectful,” says my lecturer as he raises his hands, palms upwards. A hybrid of an invitation and a call for peace. He smiled, “this person has lived, laughed, loved and been loved in return. And died.” His last word is spoken almost with awe. I glance up at the clock hanging on the white, white wall: ten minutes past. With all the technology and medicine in this day and age, death is still something we can’t measure, explain or understand. With my heart beating hard against my ribs, I fold the white sheet firmly down. The sour, funny smell of formalin springs up and fills my nostrils. My throat constricts, my lungs protest, but I make myself stare at him. He looks peaceful. There are wrinkles on his forehead, wisps of hair combed against his head. His nose is slightly flared, as if he’s going to breathe with me in the next rising of my chest. This isn’t my grandfather. But it is someone else’s. I have to force myself to breathe, because I’m caught up in this moment where I’m on the tightrope of life and death. Blood pulses through my veins, pumped from my heart. He has experienced this too. He has lived as well. As instructed, my colleague folds the sheet a little lower. My fingers tighten around the scalpel. Shining, cold and sharp. But it is my colleague who makes the first incision. Dizziness takes me. I am scared, scared, scared. But then it strikes me that this man must have been scared when he made the choice to donate his body to the medical school. His family and friends would have been scared, too. I wipe my sweaty palms against my trousers and my hands inch forwards, breath by fast breath. In the following few weeks, we will dissect him. We will explore his body. Sure, there’s lab scans and CAT scans and fancy digital computers that enable us to learn, but to actually touch something – someone – real, is our first step out from the world of books.

“I have to force myself to breathe, because I’m caught up in this moment where I’m on the tightrope of life and death. Blood pulses through my veins, pumped from my heart.” I have felt the velvet of deer lungs before; and the burstingripe tomato feel of a rabbit’s heart. In the weeks in the future, I will slide a finger down a tibia, see how bones are glued by tendons and muscles. I will feel the weight of a human heart in my palms; know how the inner organs of man lock into one another like an intricate puzzle. A human heart, the seat of emotions. The thing that beats behind ribbed bars has a mind of its own when a loved one is near. It is only when we see what normal looks like in a body, will we understand what is going wrong in our patients. One body donor will teach many dozens of doctors, dentists, physiotherapists. These dozens of people will go out and help hundreds. Not only their pain, but the pain of their family; their children, their mothers, their friends. Indirectly, one body donor has changed the lives of thousands. No matter the petty indiscretions in the course of their lives, the fights, the crimes, the betrayals, they’ve given their last gift to mankind. One can be selfless in their death. My deepest respect and love is all I can offer. I’m eighteen and in my first year of university. Today, I am going to learn from my teacher.

Above & Beyond: Group Therapy

Review

Lovers of electronica, trance and progressive will rejoice at Above & Beyond’s highly anticipated second release album, ‘Group Therapy’. I was blown away by its eclectic and colourful sounds rising and falling, a powerful journey of love and loss. Talented vocalists Zoe Johnston and Richard Bedford do an incredible job in making this album an unforgettable experience. If you are looking for a pure club mix, forget it. This album brings you a mixture of sleepy Sundays, harmonious melodies and upbeat soulful tunes guaranteed to appeal.

Game Change It’s not exactly fresh off the shelf, but it’s certainly not too old to hold relevance. On the contrary, if you have any interest in American politics, now would be the perfect time to pick this book up and educate yourself as to why the American people should/should not re-elect Barack Obama in 2012.

You’ve probably also heard Bedford’s ‘Thing called Love’; it’s one of those songs that makes everyone wave their hands in the air.

Penned by two of America’s most renowned political journalists - John Heilemann of New York and Mark Halperin of Time , Game Change is a step-by-step recount of the 2008 US election. It follows all the major candidates from the moment they announced their intention to run until the moment they left the race, offering priceless insight into each wouldbe leader of the free world and the campaigns that made or broke them.

Above and Beyond is a credit to our generation, famous for their Anjunabeats label and DJ remix work. The UK trio formed in 2000 and consists of Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamaki. They made their debut in 2002 and have hit the Top Ten in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll. ‘Group Therapy’ is definitely electronica at its best.

Based substantially on the testimony of the men and women who lived and breathed the journey, the text is refreshingly candid. Moreover, the skill of the authors is manifest in their ability to provide the reader with a wealth of information without sacrificing either wit or artistic flair. Some of the pages are literally laugh-out-loud funny.

Check out Above & Beyond at their Group Therapy World Tour live at The Family on the 16th of September.

If politics is your thing, you will not be disappointed.

My personal favourite is ‘Alchemy’, a bittersweet song exploding with a choir of angels, eclipsed with a kind of fragile melancholy.

Mid Sems Shallots Student politics


One minute with... Andy Kiggundu What does Kiggundu mean? It means ‘a meeting between two lands’ because I was born in Australia but my family’s from Uganda. Tell us something no one knows about you. I used to work at Chanel for a year and I made up a job title for myself. I was a ‘Fragrance Connoisseur’ and I specialised in fine fragrance. The most challenging experience I had was when I had to help a bride pick out a fragrance. Also, sometimes during my shifts I pretend to be gay because girls are more comfortable around gay men. This way it’s easier for me to make sales. What’s your favourite cologne? That’s a hard question, but my favourite cologne would be Blu by Chanel. An interesting tip for cologne is to layer fragrances together so you create a distinct smell that can’t be bought. Do a few trial and errors though because some things just don’t go together. Do you consider yourself metrosexual then? Everyone from Melbourne is metrosexual. I consider myself a modern man. Do you have any grooming tips? You should scrub once a week to exfoliate and then daily cleanse. That softens up the pores. You should also moisturise your whole body daily. People rarely moisturise body

parts other than their faces because they probably think nobody’s looking at their arms and legs. But people judge. What is your favourite song of all time? ‘You Only Live Once’ by The Strokes. I feel like the melodies and the vocals speak to me. I can feel the song in your whole body. If I had a soundtrack to my life, this song would definitely be in it. What is your favourite sport? I am extremely uncoordinated and I can’t play any ball sports. Therefore I run. I really like athletics and track and field. What is your fastest running pace? My personal best for 800 m is 1:55. 800 m is not really a long distance, but it’s about the journey, not the destination.
