Whether you consider the extreme strategic importance of Middle Eastern Oil, the maelstrom of religious and ethnic hatreds that have consumed the region for thousands of years, or just its unfortunate positioning as the lynchpin that connects Europe, Asia, and Africa, it's easy to understand why so many Doomsday predictions feature the Middle East.

40 players in 5 groups will play 8-player games on the Middle East map. The first player eliminated in each game is out of the tournament. The remainder will go on to the next round.

Testimonials Improved Credit Kwami - Sherwood, AR Expand I had NO credit because I had lived the last couple of decades paying for everything in cash. I had thought that when I went to get a car, the traditional dealerships would overlook that [paying in cash] due to my work history and income. I was sadly mistaken. I was denied by them all. When I saw your billboard, I called out of curiosity because I was sure I would be denied yet again. But, Keith told me to come talk with him — so, I did. Three hours later I drove off in my new car!!! That was 18 months ago. As a result of this car, my credit score went up to 700+, and with that, I just closed on my first home last month and I traded in my car for a BRAND NEW one at one of those dealerships that originally denied me. Great Service Stephanie - Sherwood, AR Expand I was very happy with the service, friendly sales staff, and the way the finance team worked within my budget to get me into a clean, well-maintained vehicle and help to re-establish my credit.

SNI Research Aims to Expand Cerebral Palsy Therapy Options
Before they learn to crawl or walk, about 10,000 babies every year in the United States will develop a condition that will change how they will do just that. Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological condition caused by a brain injury before birth, during delivery or before a child's second birthday. An estimated 800,000 Americans live with CP.
The most common symptom in CP is spasticity, an increase in muscle tension that impairs proper movement. Abnormal postures or movements, weakness or loss of muscle control and rigidity are also part of the constellation of CP signs and symptoms. While physical therapy remains the cornerstone for treatment, new medications and therapies for CP are being developed to help improve and manage symptoms.
Currently, Swedish Neuroscience Institute is participating in a study to determine the safety and tolerability of one such medication. Dalfampridine (AMPYRA ®) is a medication currently used to help improve walking speed in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. This phase I clinical trial aims to evaluate AMPYRA's® safety, tolerability and its effect on sensorimotor function of adults with CP. The study will look at how single and multiple doses of the medication have on CP patients, including:
- Hand strength
- Manual dexterity
- Walking speed
- Gait
There is no cure for cerebral palsy. Therapies for CP ...

Taking Control of Your Brain Health: Class is Sept. 29 at Swedish/Issaquah
First you can't remember where you left your keys. Then an acquaintance's name just won't come to you.
Is it just old age or is it a memory disorder? Sometimes it's hard to tell and not knowing can be equally as frustrating as forgetfulness itself.
The best way to head off memory loss and to figure out if that is in fact what you're experiencing is to talk with your doctor and discuss your concerns. Of course, it's not always easy or convenient to get to the doctor. Dr. Lily Jung-Henson, of the Swedish Neuroscience Institute, holds free community classes that cover these issues and allow you the chance to get some of your questions answered.
Partnering with Dr. Arpan Waghray, Medical Director for Behavioral Health at Swedish, and other members of the Swedish Rehab Services team in Issaquah, Dr. Jung-Henson will be holding a class called "Taking Control of Your Brain Health" on Saturday, September 29.
This free class will be held at the Swedish/Issaquah hospital in the Highlands from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and will help you answer questions such as:

Carlos Tevez
- Full Name: Carlos Alberto Tevez
- Squad No: 10
- Position: Forward
- Age: 30
- Birth Date: Feb 5, 1984
- Birth Place: Ciudadela, Buenos Aires, Argentina
- Height: 5'7'' (1.70m)
- Weight: 67 kg
2013/14 Italian Serie A
Carlos Tevez's story is very similar to that of many other kids in Argentina. Born into poverty in a working-class neighbourhood in the province of Buenos Aires known as Fort Apache (thus his peculiar moniker, the 'Apache'), he was able to escape thanks to football.Even in those early street games, he displayed the fierceness, courage and poise that he would later exhibit on the pitches of Argentina and beyond. He started his road to stardom in the lower ranks of the local All Boys soccer club, and was acquired by Boca Juniors, the club that gave him his debut in the Argentine top division. Coached by Carlos Bianchi, he became an idol and participated in one of the club's most successful championship runs, winning the domestic league, the Copa Libertadores and an Intercontinental Cup in 2003. With Bianchi no longer at the helm of the team towards the end of 2004, Tevez left the club after securing another title: the Copa Sudamericana. He arrived at Brazil's Corinthians, where he earned the love of the fans and won a league title. But a bad run of form saw him back up for auction once more. West Ham, a modest English team, picked him up on a controversial third-party deal and he was a key figure in steering them clear of the drop that season. The big clubs finally took notice, and Manchester United added him to their star-studded squad, though he struggled to find his place. He participated in several of the club's successes, including winning a league title, the UEFA Champions League and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2008. In 2009, his lack of playing time and subsequent differences with Sir Alex Ferguson saw Tevez accept an offer to play for neighbours and rivals Manchester City. He became the club's most influential player and helped them to their first trophy since 1976 by winning the 2011 FA Cup, but then revealed that he wanted to move nearer to his family in the summer as a move back to Corinthians collapsed.
After refusing to warm-up against Bayern Munich in September 2011, Tevez went AWOL back to Argentina and was fined. However, he failed to secure a move away in the January transfer window and made his return back to Manchester in February 2012. Is it surely only a matter of time before he departs once more.Strengths: A courageous player, Tevez makes full use of his body. He adds a great ability to protect the ball to his technical skills, and he can be a traditional centre forward in the box or play deeper. Weaknesses: With the exception of his long tenure at Boca, he has been unable to stay at one club for more than two years in a row. More trouble than he is worth? Career high: Winning the Double with Man Utd when he scored a lot of important goals for the side on the way to the trophies. Career low: His second season at Corinthians included disputes with his team-mates and the fans. Style: Strong, powerful and courageous, a passionate player. Quotes: After receiving criticism for a series of low-key performances with his national team, he declared: "Sometimes I don't even want to play for Argentina." Trivia: He has a large scar on his neck, a consequence of a bad burn suffered as a child. He has been offered the chance to have the scar tissue surgically removed, but has always refused as he insists it is part of who he is.

Omake Ikuze is coming to AZ 2013!
Join the crew of Omake Ikuze as we take Animazement by storm! We are looking to host two different panels this coming year.
1) Anime You May Have Missed Part Deux:
This was such a success during AZ 2012 that we want to bring it back for AZ 2013. For those of you that didn't make it, we had about 2/3 of a room full...on a Sunday...at 9:30 in the morning. Not only was I surprised that we got that much of a draw, but I'm surprised AZ's attendees were that alert that early in the morning. Anyway, instead of just Ryuuji and me (Bishie) on the panel, we will be adding Maverick, Furiku, and possibly AoKoumori and the ever-elusive Shai to the mix, if travel permits, of course. Join us for more nostalgia, moments of "Ooh...shiny", Michael Bay and Shinji bashing, and MORE anime you may have missed.
2. Omake Ikuze Unplugged:
We were hoping that we could create an 18+ panel for this one. If any of you have seen our show, you know how rowdy we can get, so you know we need this. To give you an idea, this would be a LIVE Roundtable, with an ACTUAL live audience. We would incorporate audience feedback, opinion, questions, topics, everything into this panel. This panel is about YOU, the con-goer and anime fan, brought to you, by us, the Omake Ikuze cast!
So please, let the staff know that you would like to see these panels and whenever submission opens up, we will be applying. After that, cross your fingers to hope that we get on the schedule!
To find us, follow this link or that link.

Governor Pat Quinn signs road safety bills
CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn has signed three road safety bills into law, including one beefing up adult drivers' education requirements.
Another lets the Secretary of State's office reject driver's permits or licenses for drivers 18 years and younger who have pending citations. The law was prompted by a 15-year-old who was seriously injured when hit by a teen driver. That driver received a license days later.
The third law deals with limiting court supervision as a sentence when a driver is charged in a fatal accident. The law was named for a woman who was killed by a distracted driver. The driver was sentenced to court suspension which means he didn't get a conviction on his record. The law takes effect Jan 1.
Governor Quinn signs medical marijuana bill into law
Medical Marijuana is officially legal in Illinois. With his signature, Governor Pat Quinn kicked off a pilot program that allows doctors to prescribe marijuana to patients with some chronic diseases.
It is one of the most restrictive programs in nation--requiring patients and caregivers to undergo background checks and limiting patients to purchasing 2 and-a-half ounces of marijuana at a time. A network of dispensaries and growers will be regulated by the state.
The medical marijuana will be taxed at the same 1% rate as other pharmaceuticals. There will also be a tax on grow facilities and dispensaries of 7%. The planned 22 grow facilities will each hire no more than 10 employees. The state of Illinois expects hundreds of new jobs in related industries to be created.
The new law also bans campaign contributions from operators of cultivation centers and dispensaries.
The law takes effect on January 1, 2014 and is a four-year pilot program.
Governor Pat Quinn spending time in downstate Illinois after criticism
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn is making a series of stops in central Illinois.
Monday's visits mark the second round of trips the governor's made to the region following criticism that his frequent Chicago focus might draw a downstate challenger in the 2014 Democratic primary.
Quinn started the day welcoming the Stanley Cup to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum before heading to Bradley University in Peoria, where he announced a construction grant. Quinn is also scheduled to spend time talking about the construction grant Augustana College in Rock Island before going to Rockford, where he's expected to talk about a clean water initiative.
Quinn is facing a primary challenge from fellow Chicagoan Bill Daley.
Quinn's spokeswoman has said the governor was previously tied up in Springfield because of pension reform.
UPDATE: Illinois comptroller will withhold lawmakers' paychecks
CHICAGO (AP) - Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka says she has no choice but to withhold paychecks from Illinois lawmakers.
Topinka spoke Thursday in Chicago after her office reviewed Gov. Pat Quinn's decision to cut state legislator's paychecks from a budget bill earlier this month. He called it the consequence for lawmakers' failure to address the state's $97 billion pension shortfall.
Topinka says she talked with the Illinois attorney general's office and they advised her that comptrollers can't pay state employees without an appropriation.
Topinka says she hopes the matter will be resolved "expeditiously." She says the courts likely will have the ultimate say, unless lawmakers quickly adopt pension reform.
Topinka says in her opinion government shouldn't be run through threats and blackmail.
Lawmakers are scheduled to receive their next paychecks on Aug. 1.
Lawmakers call on Governor Quinn to call for around-the-clock pension talks
CHICAGO (AP) - Former White House chief of staff Bill Daley is calling on Gov. Pat Quinn to bring the state's legislative leaders together for around-the-clock talks to resolve the state's $97 billion pension shortfall.
At a news conference on Monday, Daley urged Quinn to get more aggressive in trying to solve the worst-in-the-nation crisis by bringing legislative leaders to the governor's mansion in Springfield to negotiate until they reach some kind of deal.
Daley has formed an exploratory committee as he considers running against Quinn in next spring's Democratic primary.
Daley says the governor is wasting time and dismissed Quinn's suspension of lawmakers' pay until they come up with a solution to the crisis as a gimmick that may even be unconstitutional.
Quinn OKs new rules for tethering dogs outdoors in Illinois
CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn has signed into law new rules for tethering a dog outside.
Quinn says the legislation ensures dogs are treated humanely.
The Illinois Democrat says dogs bring unconditional love and comfort to their owners' lives and become "part of our families." He says the new law makes sure "our pets receive the same love and care they give us."
The measure requires the leash used to tether a dog to be at least 10 feet long and to not exceed one-eighth of a dog's body weight. It also says people who don't provide sufficient food, water, shelter and veterinary care could be subject to up to six months imprisonment.
The legislation was sponsored by Rep. Dan Burke, a Chicago Democrat, and Sen. Linda Holmes, a Democrat from Aurora.
IL Comptroller seeking legal review of Quinn pay cut
SPRINGFIELD, IL (AP) - Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka says she's looking into whether Gov. Pat Quinn can legally cut lawmakers' pay.
Quinn cut $13.8 million for legislators' paychecks from a budget bill Wednesday. He says it's the consequence for lawmakers failing to address the state's $97 billion pension shortfall.
Topinka says questions have been raised about whether Quinn's actions are constitutional.
A provision of the Illinois Constitution says changes in lawmaker salary should not take effect during the term in which they were elected.
Topinka says she has requested a legal review. It should be complete before Aug. 1, when lawmakers are scheduled to receive their next paychecks.
Quinn says a prior court ruling gives him the authority. He also says he's not changing their salary, just withholding the money to pay it.
Gov. Quinn plans to hold up lawmakers' paychecks
CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn is using his veto power to try and suspend state lawmakers' pay because of their inaction on Illinois' pension crisis.
The Chicago Democrat is announcing the news Wednesday. He says there'll be no paychecks for legislators until they get the job done.
The Associated Press obtained details of the plan before Wednesday's announcement.
Quinn's using his line-item veto power in a budget bill that's on his desk. Lawmakers have to approve his changes.
The bill gives the state comptroller the ability to issue paychecks to state employees. Quinn's announcement comes a day after he said there would be consequences for lawmakers who didn't send him a pension overhaul plan by Tuesday's deadline.
The state has nearly $100 billion in unfunded pension liability, the worst of any state.
IL Lawmakers poised to override Quinn's gun bill
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) - Lawmakers are set to meet in Springfield to consider a bill allowing the concealed carry of weapons in public on the day of a court-mandated deadline to pass such legislation.
Gov. Pat Quinn has asked for sweeping changes to a concealed carry bill, but lawmakers have been less than enthusiastic, so far, and are expected to override his changes.
Quinn wants an ammunition limit and to prohibit guns in any place that serves alcohol, among other provisions. He has backed his changes by focusing on violence in Chicago.
But several lawmakers say Quinn proposed changes come too late in the process.
Illinois is the only state without a law to allowed concealed carry. A federal appeals court ruled the state's ban unconstitutional and set a Tuesday deadline to allow it.
Governor Quinn prepares for fight over conceal carry
CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn says he's ready for a "showdown" in Springfield over concealed carry legislation.
The Chicago Democrat has spent days making appearances talking up his sweeping changes to a bill that'd make Illinois the last state to allow concealed weapons.
But lawmakers are expected to override Quinn's changes when they meet Tuesday in Springfield. The bill's sponsor, among others, says the original measure came out of months of negotiations.
Quinn wouldn't say if he has the votes, but says he's working on it. He says the bill was influenced heavily by the National Rifle Association.
He spoke to reporters Monday in Chicago after signing legislation dealing with gang crimes.
Illinois has until Tuesday to legalize concealed carry after a federal appeals court ruled the state's ban unconstitutional.

This week a universal truth struck me between the eyes: It's a lot easier to take a sick day from the day job, than to take it from the kids.
When my doctor proclaimed that I have a contagious viral infection, I informed my boss that I would have to take a few sick days from work. Like the nice guy he is, he told me to relax and get better.
That was the easy part.
Unfortunately, I picked Spring Break to get sick. Thus, my kids are home from school all week, bored, loud, and unable to stay out of my room and let me rest.
Fortunately, my kids are not babies any more and so they should be able to amuse themselves and make their own lunches. They are 13, 17, 24, and 26. Okay, they are managing to make their own food. But amuse themselves?
Despite my assertions to the contrary, they think my illness is an invitation to plop on my bed, watch my TV, and worse, argue while bouncing on my bed.
So, until the husband comes home to back up my non-existent voice, I have to become creative. I've sent them down the road to the store, to Wendy's to get Frosties, set them up with projects, and of course, delegate chores to the 24 and 17 year olds.
Reverse psychology works, too. If I ask them to fetch too many things, they will avoid me on their own.
Oh, the joys of raising kids. You have to love them, but you have stay ahead of them, even when you're not up to par.

This article created by Thomas Chamberlain, the author of book Learning OMNeT++, introduces you with Omnet++.

I know I would have benefited from a book like this when I was in my final year of University. That's when I realized I needed to simulate networks to solve the problems I had. This book would have been useful for me, because once I realized I wanted to simulate a network, I also realized that I had no idea how to do it. Once I discovered OMNeT++, I also found the learning curve for using it to be steep to start with, and I really wanted the network simulations that I would soon create to be up and running as quickly as possible. I wish for this book to be useful, interesting and also fun.Read Getting Started with OMNeT++ in full

Mads Mikkelson as Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal.
Photo by: Brooke Palmer/NBC)
NBC has finally scheduled its eagerly anticipated Hannibal, the story of the early relationship between heretofore cinematic cannibal Hannibal Lecter (played Mads Mikkelsen) and FBI agent Will Graham (Hugh Dancy). It will premiere on Thursday, April 4, at 10:00 PM ET/PT, a time slot that had been golden for the network for decades -- from Hill Street Blues to LA Law to ER -- but which lately has tanked, reaching a low point with the recently canceled Jekyll and Hyde-inspired Do No Harm, which had the dubious distinction of being the lowest-rated in-season scripted debut EVER in the history of the four major networks.
With Hannibal arriving in April and A&E's Bates Motel landing on March 18, this means that in successive months, viewers will delve into the early years of cinematic serial killers Norman Bates and Hannibal Lecter. What's next, Michael Myers: The Degrassi High Years? That's So Jason?

Even through I obviously explained it pretty badly before, this was exactly what I was talking about when I said making them "personable". Making a good, memorable, lovable character is about more than just maxing out their cutesy cliches, IMO. Adding one or two homely or unusual quirks makes me relate to them far more than if they were just 100 percent cute.
Consider how super man is too 'vanilla super hero' for alot of people; It's the same sort of thing.
My own character designs tend to take this to a ludicrous extent, through, so of course it's all in the eye of the beholder, at the end of the day. People should vote for the ones that make the most impact on them, simple as. ;I

Toilet manufactures don't make the handle hardware. The Eljer Titan uses the same handle as the Toto Drake.
They also don't make their own fill valves, flush valves and flappers.
A generic handle can be used from a hardware store. You might need to bend the brass rod to fit.
Some like the Ultramax can use a side mount Eljer replacement.
If not, I sell the handles in the Seattle area for $19.99
Remember, hardware items are just that.
Of the thousands of TOTO toilets I've sold, I rarely get calls for handles. But when I do, I can get them.

Rhonda and Ketut: A theatrical masterpiece!
Australia has a longstanding affair with the steamy Indonesian island of Bali, but things are about to got a whole lot steamier with the world premiere of the musical Rhonda and Ketut.
Rhonda and Ketut is a triumph. Director James Cameron of Avatar and Titanic fame has cast aside his renowned array of special effects in his stage debut, delivering a show with a surprisingly light touch which is heartwarming, melodramatic and several other theatre adjectives.
Originally intended as a sequel to Rodgers and Hammerstein's South Pacific, the Rhonda and Ketut script lay idle in a dusty bottom drawer of the Bali Repertory Theatre Company, only to be uncovered by an employee of an ad agency working for a car insurance company who needed to use the bathroom.
From such small moments of happenstance are theatrical legends made.
Rhonda and Ketut, the two eponymous protagonists of this bittersweet tragicomedy, are different people from radically different worlds. Like Romeo and Juliet, and Steph and Kobe, theirs is an impossible affair.
Great theatre, of course, is built on such tension. Thus, from the moment Rhonda snuggles into her banana chair on the sandy shore of a Balinese luxury resort, it is clear that her romance with Ketut is as inevitable as it is doomed.
Hugh Jackman is at his suave best in the role of Ketut, bringing pathos, bathos and tight bathers to his role. Magda Szubanski is brilliant as Rhonda, a fading beauty with an embarrassing sunglasses tan hoping for one final fling.
As Rhonda luxuriates in the opulence enabled by her wise purchase of cheap car insurance, Ketut toils away catering to her every whim. The name "Ketut" means fourth-born in the local dialect, and fourth born Balinese children are traditionally given menial jobs like winding beach umbrellas up and down.
Rhonda knows Ketut yearns for more. Ketut knows Rhonda has her yearnings too.
Things come to a head one moonlight night as the cautious couple stroll along the sands of Kuta Beach. A muscular blond surfer from Burleigh heads, played with flawless petulance by Eddie Perfect, confronts the duo.
A fist fight ensues, and the consequences are dramatic. Our lovers realise that theirs is a love which will forever remain unconsummated, and they part on AAMIable terms.
The relationship of Rhonda and Ketut is of course a metaphor for the enduring affair between Australians and Bali. That relationship fell on testing times with events like the Bali Bombings and the Schapelle Corby trial, yet has survived.
In a similar vein, you sense there'll be countless more middle-aged drivers and hot young Balinese umbrella winder-uppers to renew the passion that foundered on love's sharp rocks.
A rousing soundtrack from Cold Chisel completes the sensual feast. Crowd are certain to thrill to hits like Flame Trees, and Breakfast at Sweethearts and Choir Girl. Perhaps the greatest scene of the entire show is when a broken-hearted Ketut consoles himself to the strains of Cheap Wine.
Too many theatrical experiences in the contemporary arts world dwell in the realm of the fantastical, or in the dim past. This is a story for us, and a story that matters now. It is high art with Bintang singlets, braided hair and Havaiana thongs.
As an early indication that this will be a theatrical sensation, Victorian premier Ted Baillieu entered a bidding war with his NSW counterpart Barry O'Farrell for the right to host the lavish production in their respective cities.
In the end, it came down to a contest to see who could say "Eyes on the road Rhonda" most convincingly. The two couldn't be split, so it then came down to a contest to say the classic Rhonda catchphrase "You're Naughty". Mr Baillieu won.

Inky says:
I thought this was another of your jokes Ant, then I saw the part at the bottom with TIcketmaster details. I'm so confused.
Glen says:
Meanwhile, at Punch HQ, Ant rises, rolls back his chair and thatrically strolls to the door. As he rounds the corner he quips over his shoulder "My work here is done".
TJ Wylde says:
Is is funny that in a place like bali where sex tourism caters for all other genders,,it seems to me that everyone is happy to accept that Ketut could be a Kuta Cowboy and Rhonda is paying for sex,, seems a little weird to me.
Tony says:
I can understand that every woman would like a cocktail on the beach, whilst being pampered by an exotic, muscular, and considerate young local man. I do, however, object to him giving Rhonda the forks half way through this very short production. I hope they write a Second Act in which they explore the ambivalence revealed by Ketut in his gesture. His frustration at being a lowly-paid employee of a rich resort owned by multinationals mirrors the frustration of many Australians at paying out so much for so little to multinational insurance companies. AAMI is owned by the Queensland-based Suncorp and this Musical is surely a clever allegory on the evils of placing insurance with multinationals.
just me says:
however the ad isn't even filmed in Bali and Ketut lives in Melbourne with his Australian girlfriend…
Susan says:
I didn't see any romance between them at all. This feels like typical social media marketing and a major advertorial. WHEN did news outlets start becoming marketing avenues in this sort of form? It seems to have snuck up on us and now won't let go.
Stephanie Warren says:
As I saw on a t shirt in Bali last week "Nice break fruit, Rhonda". Hey people! Get a life! I think this is fantastic! Wish I'd thought of it. Looking forward to the sequel.
Caedrel says:
I think it's nice that we've had a series of connected ads rather than just the same ad repeated ad nauseum… Rhonda seems to be doing pretty well for herself in the commercial space, although I'm not sure if it's a step up from "Thank God You're Here"...
Esteban says:
Without sufficient time for character development or protaganist/antagonist tension the short story script writer has to rely heavily on irony.
Yet here is the great failure of this work when the final and memorable, shall we say delicious irony is sadly missing in this work.
yet perhaps the absence of the final predictable irony is indeed the unique and genius irony after all.
Is that interval ?
SD says:
Does nothing to make me think of car insurance but is a great ad for Bali and avoid g sun burn. Noooooo! Not again!?
SD says:
One thing in that ad is true, that 'doong doong' music pretty much follows your every move. You can be In the middle of nowhere thinking you're free and yet…. 'doong doong'. Ahhh! I got home and only then did I realize how much my senses had been tortured. There seemed to be nothing but Chisel and Bon Jovi on the radio, in malls or anywhere publicly playing music. And it was heaven!
Johnno says:
You have to love Rhonda "I was looking for something more exotic" What - Bali?
Cool how Rhonda accepts an unsolicited possibly arak based drink from Ketut too!
LaDiva says:
Whatever happened to the old bloke and his young son from the Telstra Bigpond ads? Wasn't there going to be a film made with them based on these ads?
Emporer Nasi Goreng. Pure gold.

Cluce says:
I thought Rhonda belonged to the lady (who resembles the dame from "South Pacific") who was massaging her feet!! Now, there's a sequel: Ketut and "the dame" vying for Rhonda's affection!!!
Swamp Thing says:
Bah, I hate this ad! Every drop of the hat during the footy -"always wanted to do someone exotic" blah blah whiney voice Ranga Rhonda.
We all know that her hubby feels the same & is at home knocking off a tranny as she speaks. Howzat for exotic Rhonda?
Tony says:
Ketut's next menial and underpaid employment: in the AAMI Call Centre when it is outsourced to Indonesia.
RR says:
ahhh I remember the coffee ads - 2 people so in loooove getting to know each other over coffee…......did they ever get it on I wonder!!

The fence enclosing the campus was intended as a security measure, but Reed has also used it to reap the benefits in other areas.
"As an incentive, we told our freshmen that if they were able to get their grades up to a 3.0 GPA, that they would be given off-campus second semester," Reed Principal Mary Vesco said. "We've had so many more kids reach that goal, which is what we wanted. So it's been a positive for us in the fact that we have been able to use that as an incentive."
Vice Principal Brandon Bringhurst said the impact of the off-campus laden enticement has resulted in large amounts of success within the freshmen class.
"We had about 45 percent of the kids make that 3.0 or better mark," Bringhurst said. "That incentive really seemed to help and motivate some kids. It's a big deal to them, to be able to go off campus. They'll come up to you excited and telling you that they got their grades up. That's what we're trying to do. We're trying to change the focus to them being rewarded when they're successful academically.
"Certainly to have virtually half of our freshmen class have a 'B' average is pretty significant. Just with some of the kids I deal with on a regular basis who are struggling academically, to see them put in the work and effort to get up to that point, I know for them as individuals it is a big accomplishment."
Vesco said the fence has also been used as a tool to encourage a cleaner school.
"We've also used it as an incentive to help keep the cafeteria clean," she said. "There were some students in there that would leave messy tables. So I told the kids if they could keep the table clean for one week, I will give you a pass for off-campus for just Friday. And I told them I would make it a long-lasting pass as long as they kept it clean, and it has been wonderful in there."
With the success Reed has seen with its freshmen, the Raiders will hope to extend those expectations into other grades next school year. While the requirements will remain the same for the incoming freshmen class, the rest of the school will have to work to obtain off-campus privileges as well. Sophomores, juniors and seniors will need to be on track to graduate as far as credits are concerned in order to enjoy going off campus.
"It's not a ton of kids that will be impacted by this, but we want to continue to improve," Bringhurst said. "A lot of what helps is the positive peer-pressure. Their buddies are asking why they can't go with them at lunch and then telling them to get their grades up. That positive peer-pressure definitely changes things."
Another change that Reed enforced at the beginning of the school year was a school-wide uniform. That change has also seen a positive impact on the school's students.
"Where the uniforms have really affected us is on the number of fights," Bringhurst said. "Those numbers have been literally cut in half from last year to this year. That's a very significant improvement. You can count on one hand the number of fights that we have had on campus, in the hallways. It may not be a direct cause from the uniforms, but it's helped a lot."
Considering all of the improvements that have taken place in just one school year, Vesco said she has seen a different environment at Reed.
"I think the biggest change has just been the climate and culture at the school," she said. "The kids seem to be in-tune with what's happening in the classroom. There are fewer distractions for them, and I think the uniform has caused part of that change. And kids are getting their grades up so they can go off-campus. So I think just the overall culture and focus of the school has improved immensely."

brazil: challenging investors in brazilian agrofuels
Yet investors in agrofuels such as the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) continue as if nothing were amiss. The IDB is keen to position itself as a player in the new carbon economy, and has prioritized the development of agrofuels in Brazil and other countries in the region.
Before the financial crisis in 2008, the IDB provided loans to the agrofuels sector for new projects to expand plantations and build more mills. The financial crisis triggered a change in approach, as oil prices fell, affecting demand for agrofuels. The IDB switched track, and began to focus on monitoring national policies that could shape and promote investment in the sector.
This included "Sugar Cane Agro-Ecological Zoning" launched by the Brazilian government in October 2009. This defines zones in which the Brazilian government will support an increase in agrofuels production, including by providing access to credit and loans from the Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES).
what happened
Friends of the Earth Brazil campaigns to expose the lack of coherence between IDB's climate policies and its support for agrofuels.
In March 2009, the IDB's 50th anniversary and governors' annual meeting in Medellin, Colombia, provided an important campaign opportunity. Friends of the Earth Brazil and Friends of the Earth Colombia / CENSAT participated in the organization of the parallel public forum on behalf of Friends of the Earth International. They distributed Portuguese and English language copies of the report "New road to the same old place: the false solution of agrofuels," published by FoE Brazil, FASE and Terra de Direitos. This evaluates the sugar cane sector and associated investments in Brazil. The FoEI agrofuels cartoon collection was also on display at the forum, and copies of it were distributed to the media.
In August 2009, Friends of the Earth Brazil and FASE also published an updated report on the sugar cane ethanol sector in Brazil, analyzing the changes in policies, actors and scenarios in the sector following the financial crisis. The report, "Agrofuels after the financial crisis: foot on the brake or accelerator of social and environmental destruction?" was presented at the Forum Against Agribusiness in Asunción, Paraguay, which was organized by ATALC and Friends of the Earth Paraguay/Sobrevivencia. It was also widely distributed among networks, partners, and the media.
Friends of the Earth Brazil and other national groups and alliances also responded critically to Brazil's new agro-ecological sugar cane zoning plan, through Rede Brazil and the BNDES Platform. These organizations brought up the issue of public national investments in ethanol during a seminar on BNDES held in November 2009, in Rio de Janeiro.
The IDB's investments were also monitored throughout the year by FoE Brazil, as a member of the Brazilian Network on International Financial Institutions (Rede Brasil sobre Instituições Finaceiras Multilaterais). In addition, the group tracked funds lent to Brazil by the World Bank for environmental and climate adaptation purposes.
News updates and other information were also published on an on-going basis, on the Rede Brazil website (www.rbrasil.org.br).
what changed
Friends of the Earth Brazil's ongoing campaign continued to shine a spotlight on IDB's climate change policies and its investments in ethanol projects in Brazil. Thoughtful and critical analysis about the sugar cane ethanol sector, combined with effective public campaigning, lobbying and media work, has enabled FoE Brazil and partner organizations to bring a strong critical voice to the agofuels debate. This is essential, especially in Brazil, which is a global leader in the production and use of sugarcane based ethanol.
what next
In 2010, Friends of the Earth Brazil will continue to monitor and highlight public banks' policies and projects on climate, energy and infrastructure in Brazil, focusing on the role of IDB and BNDES in particular.
It will also monitor and challenge the development of other socially or environmentally risky projects, such as large dams in the Amazon region and Uruguay river basin.
The group will also channel and publicize information about social movements' responses, resistance activities and alternatives, and continue to edit the bi-monthly bulletin "Energia Nova."

AKA New York
One of the lovely things about AKA New York is the brand�'s sensibility. Created by Abigale Levinson, Karen Reinitz, and Ana Maria Pimentel, the women bring their �"editor mentality�" to the line�--meaning they�'re all about the mix, never wearing one designer from head-to-toe. They don�'t push one inspiration point exclusively, rather each season they showcase and incorporate multiple visions in a cohesive way. It�'s rather like a �"best of�" collection where every piece is unique, yet a hit.
For their Spring 2007 collection, AKA New York has created a number of exclusive pieces for shopbop.com, like this adorable short sleeved blue Mini Dress . Shopbop.com also sells the line�'s widely available spring looks (try Henri Bendel, Intermix, Milk, Saks, and Neiman Marcus for more pieces). In addition to this, all three designers will be at Henri Bendel in New York this weekend to give personal styling tips to customers. We are seriously sad we're stuck in LA this weekend, but we hope that our NYC readers stop by and chat the girls up�--they are so helpful and sweet you'd be a fool not to go! (712 Fifth Avenue, New York, 800-HBENDEL)
We�'re personally wild about the brocade pieces that AKA New York is showing for this season. There�'s an empire shift dress ($283, shopbop.com) that we adore and some swell coats too. Also keep your eyes peeled for their polo dress with a dropped waist skirt in navy (shown above, coming soon). As Karen (the K in AKA) said, �"It�'s the easiest dress to just throw on and you�'re good to go.�" It also can go from day to night easily (something we always look for), just pair with flats for walking around during the day and then change to wedges and some great necklaces for night. Easy, beautiful, and smart�--no wonder that AKA New York is a Line We Love.
