	CSIRO - Big telescope opportunities for South Australia
		Australian research institutions working on the SKA project include CSIRO, the University of Sydney and the Australian National University.
		Ten countries are planning the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope, which will be able to see back into the early Universe and observe the first galaxies forming.
		"Local industry and research institutions have the necessary technical skills in all SKA technologies, including antennas, microwave receivers, signal processing, communications, synthetic beamforming and the analysis of complex data," he says.

	ARC Centres of Excellence
		The Centre aims to position the Australian community to be major beneficiaries of SKA, and to secure the economic advantages of its construction in Australia.
		The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is a $2 billion high-technology radio observatory currently being designed by an international consortium and planned for construction around 2010.
		By probing physical conditions at the time when the first galaxies formed, and in the ‘dark ages’ before the first stars, the SKA will provide deep insights into the physics of the very early universe.

	No Title
		The Western Australian Government and CSIRO ATNF are developing a high-sensitivity field-strength measurement program to evaluate "radio- quietness" of potential SKA sites in inland Western Australia.
		The SKA is a "next-generation" radio telescope that an international consortium of radio astronomy organisations is planning for and designing.
		Results of studies of the requirements for the SKA Central Site will be presented and Australia's several natural advantages as a site for the SKA will be outlined.

	The Universe Today - Back to the Future
		Schmidt also enthusiastically supports Australian involvement in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), which will be an array of radio antennas with a collecting area of one square kilometre (one million square metres), about 100 times as great as the biggest present-day instruments.
		West Australia is the front runner for the core, but the SKA is so big, every state and territory will probably have several pieces of the antenna on site.
		With respect to his own future plans, Schmidt has a deep interest in several proposed international astronomical projects, such as the Next Generation Space Telescope and the Square Kilometre Array, and sees their relevance and substantial benefits to Australian astronomy.

	Connell Wagner to Boost Mega-Telescope Research
		Connell Wagner will also contribute to the prototyping of one of the possible SKA antenna technologies, a spherical lens antenna (Luneburg lens) made from new synthetic materials.
		Connell Wagner's contributions to the project will include an SKA siting and infrastructure study, a bid risk analysis, and financial evaluation.
		Australia and some of the other countries involved in planning the SKA will bid to host the telescope.

	What is the SKA?
		LOFAR and SKA will be able to detect objects so distant that the radiation from them takes billions of years to reach us.
		LOFAR is a smaller-scale project than the SKA, with more conventional antenna designs and lower bandwidth for its signal systems.
		LOFAR science drivers closely link with research strengths within the Australian astronomical community, for example, high-redshift galaxy studies, pulsars and plasma astrophysics.

	Complete Madness - the Australian Madness tribute band
		Ska deserved to live, a ska that was fresh, fused with punk, rock, pop and blues, a ska that would have Aussie home-grown themes and style.
		Band and management tensions re-surfaced, and the gigs were less plentiful and lower and lower paid.
		Others would be recruited; a seven piece band would be too small for these big new plans, no, only at least a nine-piece could do it.

	Spaceflight Now \| Breaking News \| Giant 'eyeball' brings mega-telescope closer to reality
		CSIRO is a member of the Australian SKA consortium, which is coordinating Australia's participation in the project.
		Australia is one of the most active of the 11 countries now planning this telescope, called the Square Kilometre Array or SKA.
		Dr Peter Hall from the CSIRO Australia Telescope National Facility, who obtained the lens from Russia, is shown making an adjustment to the test system. Others involved in the SKA antennas work include Drs Andrew Parfitt and Graeme James from CSIRO Telecommunications and Industrial Physics.

		Mike's interests lie in the area of beer, beer and more beer, as well as Sepultura, Dead Kennedys, Fear Factory, Tool, Nancy Vandal,and the renowned Australian Ska band, the Porkers.
		Of course it goes without saying that they like plenty of Australian bands such as Regurgitator, Magic Dirt, Lawnsmell, Frenzal Rhomb, Spiderbait, The Porkers, Pollyanna, SPDFGH and many others, and see as many gigs as possible.
		Kim is also into Techno, Metal, Jazz, Blues etc. Lidija prefers "alternative" artists/bands, with her favourites being SPDFGH, Veruca Salt, Belly, and, God forbid., silverchair.

	Oz Music Project - Australian Music Resource and Webzine
		Melbourne Ska band Sounds Like Chicken return for round two, with the band's second EP comprising of a tighter sound that seems to emulate the craziness of the band's reputed live performances.
		Obviously a band with a good grasp of their instruments, Sounds Like Chicken give the listen enough mayhem to stand out from the crowd, at the same time being controlled enough to be totally assessable to their Ska audience.
		There are some points when vocalist Nathan J seems like he needs to take a huge breath to get a bit more vocal depth and direction, and possibly moments you can detect that a tad bit more in the production stakes would give LSP that something extra.

		Connell Wagner has committed to invest $500,000 in kind for the development of the Australian bid for the SKA project.

		Since forming in 1996 Hot Rubber Glove have successfully combined elements of funk, reggae, ska, dub, pop, and hip hop into their music.
		Hot Rubber Glove signed to local label Pandamonium Records in July but the band had been recording the album at the Pandamonium studio since March with label head and producer Todd Macalpine.
		Although Hot Rubber Glove is primarily a funk band, it’s easy to imagine tracks like Elexotica’s opening tune Jam Wichu or the downbeat Soul Level appealing to mainstream audiences.

		Australian SKA owes a debt to Stella, and in a small way I am paying homage to her here.
		Stella had been beaten to death with a hammer or spanner (I can't remember which) and Dennis was taken away for questioning.

	A Radio-quiet Zone for the SKA
		Prime Minister’s Science, Engineering and Innovation Council (PMSEIC) Working Group on astronomy has recommended the establishment of a radio-quiet zone at the representative Australian SKA site in Western Australia (June 2004).
		A radio-quiet zone for the SKA will provide a means to maintain low levels of radio-frequency emissions in the vicinity of the SKA.
		OECD Global Science Forum Task Force on Radio Astronomy and the Radio Spectrum in their report(pdf, size 1.7 MB) suggested the establishment of “controlled emission zones” around one or more future radio astronomical observatory sites.
