A rubber “flying” pig was among the pounds of rubbish collected during the 2011 riverbank cleanup in Calgary.

About 2,000 volunteers spent a sunny Sunday picking up litter at the 44th Annual Pathway and River Cleanup.

The city co-ordinated the garbage collection around paths and major waterways including the Bow and Elbow rivers, Nose Creek and the Glenmore Reservoir.

“The objective of this cleanup is to raise awareness of environmental stewardship and the accumulation of litter in the city,” said Corrina Baxter, with Calgary Parks.

“It’s unfortunate we have to have the cleanup, but we do, and it’s great to have Calgarians to come out.”

A class on handling hazardous waste is mandatory. One group found a pellet gun.

The Calgary Police Service was called to deal with the firearm.

A knife was discovered on the Bow riverbed near 10th Street N.W. by Bob Brereton. A 28-year veteran of the cleanup, Brereton said he’s found many dangerous things while volunteering with the event, however, one hazardous item is disappearing from the rubbish piles.

“There are a lot less needles these days,” noted Brereton. “I think this is because there are lots of needle boxes along the river and people recognize they can throw them in there and so there’s a lot less along the river banks.”

Brereton added despite the fact that Calgarians are becoming increasingly aware of pollution in our waterways -litter still accumulates.

“There’s more garbage periodmore bigger things like bicycles in the river, Safeway carts, tires and stuff like that,” he claimed. “We should be doing this cleanup a couple times a year and not just once a year.”

The city spokesperson didn’t know how much litter was bagged this year, but 2010′s collection weighed in at 5,000 kg. Fifteen city trucks made the rounds to gather rubbish that Calgarians like Mariel Higuerey picked up.

“We found a few bottles for recycling,” said Higuerey, who was stationed at Carburn Park in the south east. “There was mostly cigarette butts and some trash.”

Higuerey’s group also found a tent that she called a weird find. Other strange items were four coconuts, a pair of cross-country skis, a vintage tin filled with antique buttons and a pink rubber pig stretched out in flight mode.

The Bantral team found the pig in North Glenmore Park and the item cleaned up in the city’s “most unusual find” contest. The pig will be dumped, but the city is keeping the buttons and also talking about taking photos in the future to record the cleanup’s interesting finds.

Sisters Chantel and Krysta Pascuzzo think if people respected the environment then there shouldn’t be a need for cleanup. However, they felt good about helping out Calgary and hope they set an example.

“People are so materialistic now,” noted Chantel. “They just want to be trendy so maybe we should start a new trend by picking up garbage.”

More news since the confirmation of Quentin Tarantino’s latest project being titled Django Unchained. A couple of months ago the original Django, Franco Nero claimed to be working on a western in connection with Tarantino and Keith Carradine (brother of Kill Bill’s David Carradine). Aswell as this Tarantino expressed in an interview with The Guardian that he would be interested in making a ‘Southern’ dealing with ‘the big issues’ in America’s past. Therefore if Django is to be unchained in Tarantino’s ‘Southern’, should we expect a Ethinically Significant western in the making? And if so who will be in the lead? The obvious choice would be Samuel L. Jackson, but Tarantino’s casting decisions are far from predictable.Also on board is Christoph Waltz, who will no doubt create a character just as fascinating as Inglourious Basterds Colonel Hans Landa. Hopefully more will be revealed soon, but this is shaping up to be another Tarantino classic.

Mitt Romney: “We’re going to have to hang the Obama misery index around his neck.”

Although we’re a gay blog, we shine our rainbow spotlight on other issues we find equally deserving of your attention and/or outrage. We watched this press conference clip three times this morning and had to pick our jaws off of the desk after each time.

Mitt Romney, a Republican presidential candidate, told reporters at a press conference that we need to hang Barack Obama, the President of the United States, by his neck. I care little for the flimsy metaphor sewn into his comment. The man said we have to hang Obama by the neck.

Romney clearly planned this horrid metaphor in advance. It’s a wink to the racists, birthers and conservatives out there that don’t want to see a black man in office, but allows just enough deniability in the event of liberals (rightfully) freaking the hell out about a presidential candidate suggesting we hang his adversary, a black man.

It’s important to hold Romney accountable for this insanity. If and when he attempts to dance his way out of the very clear implications of his metaphor, it should be noted that the type of person who “accidentally” uses lynching metaphors at any time, let alone on television, has zero business serving our nation as its president. Ever.

While this behavior is unacceptable and certainly offensive to all Americans, it’s unfortunately not unexpected. We did after all, just close out a week dominated by Donald Trump’s racist jabs at the President of the United States – A black man could never get into Harvard, a black man needs to personally show me his birth certificate, etc.

Here’s hoping that it’s exactly these types of thinly-veiled and racially-charged threats against the President of our country that will be the downfall of the Republican party in the coming election. No matter how you feel about Obama, I hope you agree that Mitt Romney’s insinuation literal threat to hang the president is completely unacceptable.

Review

Lil Wayne with Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Travis Barker and Mix Master Mike, and Porcelain Black performed Friday night at the Saddledome.

The more charitable among us might look at the jam-packed and eclectic lineup artists Lil Wayne assembled for his I Am Still Music Tour and consider it a generous gift from the superstar. It might be looked at as his desire to give his audience more bang for its buck, the opportunity to expand their horizons, as well as showcasing some of the more notable of his Young Money stable.

Or, the more practical, might instead see it as the opportunity to buy some time while the majority of his audience was able to navigate through a security check that in its sheer obtrusiveness and thoroughness would have put most airport screeners to shame.

Whatever the case, by the time the N’Awlins native finally took the stage for his own healthy set of dynamic hip-hop, the evening had already run the gamut from the great to the grating to the glaringly mediocre.

And, again, intentions aside, that speaks to the 28-year-old’s crossover appeal -note his work with even power pop veterans Weezer -and the artists who want a piece of his lucrative name and audience.

Look to the evening’s opener, his latest protege Porcelain Black, a ridiculous “rock” starlet, who makes Avril Lavigne look like Lemmy.

Offering the most fundamental and grade-school approximation of what being rock ‘n’ roll really is -”I should, like, talk about drinking and, like, partying and swear a lot, right?” -the young singer crawled around the stage on all fours like the 101 Dalmatians in heat and shrieked her inanities over Romper Room “metal” that would give ABBA cavities. It was as funny as it was tragic.

On the other end of the spectrum was the spectacular drum ‘n’ DJ duo of Travis Barker and Mix Master Mike. Encased in a giant boom box, the pair picked things up with a set that was fierce and entertaining, with the Mix Master scratching over samples by artists such as his most famous collaborators, the Beastie Boys, while Barker hammered away at his kit with a ferocity that he rarely mustered with former band Blink 182.

The final act of the opening slate was rapper Rick Ross, and his set fell somewhere between the others. It was a by-the-book, straight up hip-hop show, that was neither remarkable nor particularly negateable. Ross’s gruff growl is distinctive enough, and he has a solid stage presence, but very little of his material rose above the laundry list of cars, money and the only reason to acquire those – the ladies.

Or, rather, any pejorative term for a female of the species you’d prefer to replace it with.

If you need any help with that, perhaps you could refer to the evening’s headliner, whose extensive catalogue of hits is the Wiki of misogyny, but not something that seems to deter his fans — many of which, Friday night were of the decidedly young and female variety.

Fair enough, there’s little difference between that and, say, Motley Crue’s oeuvre, but there’s something a little more confrontational about it, especially when a song such as I’m Single, is preceded by Lil Wayne’s reference to his recent stay in the American correctional system and what that has done to his s#xual appetite.

But, to focus on aspect of Lil Wayne and his music is entirely unfair to the show, itself, which was a high-octane, immaculately paced mix of visual spectacle and musical energy.

Backed by a pretty stellar live band and a multiscreen set, Weezy delivers from the second he takes the stage to the moment he steps off. In fact, his verbal style seems more suited to that arena than on record, with tracks such as Bill Gates, Girl You Know and Right Above It (sadly minus Canadian Young Money signing Drake) given a whole dose of added lyrical maliciousness.

More importantly, he has an exhausting and entertaining understanding of showmanship — his show was one of the longest these parts has seen in ages — and he oozees charisma with ease. And there’s certainly no doubt he knows how to work a room, announcing early on the three most important things about him: 1.) He believes in God; 2.) He ain’t nothin’ without his audience; and 3.) He ain’t nothin’ without his audience.

And, like him, there are very few from that roster of artists on his label who would be anything without his backing, as throughout his lengthy set he gave various stars from Young Money their moment in the many bright spotlights, including the label’s brightest star currently, Nicki Minaj.

The blond-wigged rapper had a healthy showcase in the middle of the evening, and offered her own aggressively estrogenated take on the hip-hop form. She, too, can hold a room and proved that rather than being the spice in male artist’s music, she has a place on the tour that falls on the more exceptional side of the scale.

(Please note: This article was corrected to change the fact that Rick Ross is not signed with Young Money Entertainment.)

AFL boss Andrew Demetriou says players will get their “fair share” of money from the $1.25 billion TV rights deal.

“I think history shows we always look after our players,” Mr Demetriou said today.

“They’ll get their fair share.  What that fair share is I don’t know.

“I’ve got no doubt that when the ink is dry on the players’ agreement they’ll walk away happy too as will we.”

Mr Demetriou said he and fellow executives didn’t feel they deserved a pay rise after the negotiation.

“I haven’t been in one conversation with anyone who I work with who has said, ‘Gosh if we get this deal that means we earn more money’. It’s never been on our radar.”

Mr Demetriou said the league had ideas about helping struggling clubs and also hoped to use the money to strengthen international, multicultural and women’s programs.

The landmark TV rights deal would also keep the game affordable for fans, Mr Demetriou told ABC radio today.

He said Foxtel had no intention of increasing subscription prices in the wake of the deal, which will see every game shown live from next year.

“Everyone is assuming that, you know, Foxtel are going to put their prices up because we’ve got this new suite of games. I don’t think that is it at all,’’ Mr Demetriou told the ABC.

“What they are relying on is getting more subscribers, not jacking up prices by $1 or $5. That’s not where their real value lies.”

Goodes calls for share of AFL’s TV rights booty

The AFL chief’s comments come as the league and AFL Players’ Association are preparing to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement.

Sydney champion Adam Goodes said players had to be rewarded for the work they had done in making the game worth $1.253 billion to the TV networks.

The reaction of Goodes, one of the most-decorated footballers in the AFL to the billion-dollar TV rights deal, sums up the mood in the playing ranks.

The AFL may have had a significant win yesterday, but it faces a bigger battle in the coming weeks with an increasingly aggressive AFL Players’ Association over the new Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Goodes said the players needed to be rewarded for the work they had done in making the game worth $1.253 billion to the television networks.

“This is something we’re really big on, and we deserve our piece of the pie,” he said.

Today, Bulldogs champion Doug Hawkins said the deal was a win for fans and the game.

“I think it’s sensational, I think it’s great,” he said.

“It’s about time they went live, so it’s great that they are doing that and I look forward to hearing (Channel 7 commentators) Bruce (McAvaney) and Dennis (Cometti) again, because I love them,” Hawkins said.

”I wouldn’t be surprised if Channel Seven sell a few to Channel Nine and not Channel Ten, but then again Channel Nine have been a rival with Seven for years so you never know.

”They are trying to promote our great game into Gold Coast and Brisbane and Sydney, so it has to be shown live to compete with NRL. ”

Former Geelong president Frank Costa said this morning the deal was a great result for the game and the public.

”I think getting the figure the AFL got is a real tribute to them and the time they have taken to negotiate this deal and it gives them the money to invest in Greater Western Sydney and Gold Coast and make them competitive and make it a real national game,” Mr Costa said.

“It’s a big plus for football.”

While Collingwood cheer squad leader Jeff  “Joffa” Corfe said he thought there was something for everyone under the agreement.

“What we would like to think is that the fans have spoken and that’s how live AFL games on a Friday night have come about,” he said.

”On any given weekend, some supporters will miss out (on seeing their team on free-to-air) and some are in for a treat but that’s the age we live in now.’’

Goodes said last night: “We feel like we’ve done the work over the last five years to get that TV rights deal for the AFL.

“If you’re at the end of your career like I am, or one of those players who is three or four years in, you really want to see some of the benefits for the hard work.

“Hopefully now with the deal being done we can hit home with some of the biggest things we want. The AFL does a fantastic job, but we’re just asking for what we think we deserve.”

The AFLPA is seeking a fixed 27 per cent of all future revenues, which would get the players a $50 million pay rise a year from 2012.

Payments to the AFL’s 750 players reached $170 million last year, about 21 per cent of the game’s gross takings.

But locking in a percentage of revenue is already a major sticking point in the talks, which began in December, with AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou again reiterating that point yesterday.

“Our view has been consistent all along,” he said. “We don’t talk in percentages.”

 Revenue-sharing agreement will be “sensible”

AFLPA chief executive Matt Finnis warned the players were very aware of the role they played in the growth of the game.

“We have a view that a percentage and revenue-sharing arrangement is a sensible way to go forward,” he said.

“It is used in other sports around the world that have a salary cap like we do. I think it is important to preserve the interests of the players over a duration of an agreement.”

Finnis was confident negotiations would reach an appropriate settlement by the June 30 deadline.

“What the players seek is a professional and business-like relationship, and that means if it takes time to come to the right outcome, then we take that time,” he said.

“We go into it in good faith. That’s not to say negotiations won’t be wary at times, but we have an expectation of a successful outcome.”

Do you enjoy some good old fashioned misogyny in your rap songs? Well, there’s anti-woman smack talk aplenty in Eminem and Royce’s new joint track “Fast Lane”. Off their upcoming EP, the track features Em talks about a variety of s#xual acts, including doing some naughty things to his “Roman’s Revenge” buddy Nicki Minaj’s very prominent assets. Listen below.

There’s lots going on in this quick-paced jam, but we’re too focused on Em giving a slightly disturbing shout-out to Nicki Minaj: “I hope I don’t sound too heinous when I say this, but Nicki Minaj, but I want to stick my penis in your AN#S.”

Charming. Almost as lovely as this bon mot: “If you don’t suck my dick you’re gonna get decapitated / Otherwise if you don’t give me head, I’m gonna have to take it.”

Are we being too sensitive here, or do you also get queasy hearing statements like these made so flippantly? Check out all the song’s lyrics over here.

A blushing Mark Ballas tells RumorFix exclusively that he wasn’t feeling on Pia Toscano’s booty in those paparazzi pictures released on Wednesday, but rather being a gentlemen. 

One of our reporters caught up with Ballas outside a Los Angeles dance studio and asked him about the pictures. “That is me walking her,” Ballas explains. “She had really high heels on and I just wanted to keep my hand on her to keep her from falling.”

Asked why his hand appeared so close to Pia’s tush, Ballas responds, “It was not on her booty, it was on her hip.” The professional dancer then turned red in the face and chuckled when we asked if Pia was cool with him being all touchy-feely. “I guess so,” he laughed before running away from the cameras. 

Ballas and Toscano performed together on Dancing with the Stars earlier this week and are reportedly dating.

Daniel Shupert says he “just shot up and did it” when he saw a classmate choking.

By Katherine Landergan, Globe Correspondent

The Natick Fire Department awarded a certificate of merit Tuesday night to a 9-year-old boy who is credited with saving the life of a fellow student by performing the Heimlich maneuver on him.

Daniel Shupert received the honor at Wilson Middle School during the annual Town Meeting, with about 200 people in attendance, said Natick Fire Chief James Sheridan.

The boy leapt into action on March 14 when a fellow student began choking on the Pirate’s Booty snack in the school cafeteria.

“I just did it; I just shot up and did it,” Shupert told the Globe Tuesday.
