He's 37 years old and has been playing for Manchester United for a minimum of 52 years now, but it doesn't mean he can't get the job done. United squared off against Chelsea in the most anticipated of this year's UEFA Champions league quarterfinal ties and the best player over the two legs was the old man, Ryan Giggs. It wasn't a close call either. Toss his age out of the window. In the biggest tie of the quarterfinal stage in the world's biggest club tournament, Giggs was the best player over the two legs by a large margin.
In neither of the two legs did Manchester United control possession, but they made the important plays that led to their fair share of dangerous chances on goal. Three of those chances led to goals and shocker, Giggs was involved in all three. Not bad for an old man.
In the first leg, the Red Devils stole a win at Stamford Bridge and it came because Giggs was smarter than everyone else. After a corner was cleared, but not quite far enough away, Giggs snuck out on the left. The Welshman played both legs in the center so being on the left wasn't where he was supposed to be, but that's where he ended up because he recognized Jose Bosingwa had completely vacated the left side. Once Giggs got out on the left, he gathered the ball, took it towards the endline and crossed perfectly for Wayen Rooney who finished for the goal.
In the second leg, Giggs was back in on both of United goals. The first time he played an inch perfect ball across the face of goal that left Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez with the simplest of finishes. The next goal came when Giggs spotted Park Ji-Sung and of course, he was spot on again. The ball into Park was right on his chest and the goal from it crushed Chelsea's souls.
In addition to his being at the center of the moves to all of United's goals, Giggs was an influence the entire tie. He tackled well and helped maintain the team's shape. While the Red Devils were content to give Chelsea the bulk of the possession, they looked to strike quickly through the center of their midfield when they did get the ball and more often than not, it was through Giggs. He controlled the United attack and did so masterfully, as United's advancement to the Champions League semifinals can attest to.
Giggs made his league debut for United on March 2, 1991. 7,346 days later, Giggs put the capper on two incredible Champions League legs against Chelsea, a tie he was undoubtedly the best player in. Not bad for an old man. If he can continue to play at this level at 37, is there any doubt that he will live until at least 150 years old? He will probably also win Man of the Match in the 2109 Galactical Club Championship against Northern Pluto FC.

Government urges HS2 opponents to avoid 'expensive litigation'
By dismissing all seven grounds of appeal and declining to refer the case to Europe, this is the second time in four months a court has rejected attempts to derail HS2.
Parliament is the right place to debate the merits of HS2, not the law courts, and we will introduce the hybrid bill for Phase One before the year is out.
– High Speed Rail minister Simon Burns
I urge opponents not to waste any more taxpayers' money on expensive litigation and instead work with us on making HS2 the very best it can be.
We continue to move forward with the crucial business of getting the scheme ready for construction in 2017 and delivering enormous benefits for the country.

Course structure for students who commenced in 2010 onwards. Students who commenced prior to 2010 must discuss their course structure with the campus enrolment officer.
Deakin University was the first university in Australia to offer combined nursing degree courses. This was in response to signals from the health sector that there was a need for nurses with multidisciplinary skills.
Throughout the Bachelor of Nursing /Bachelor of Public Health and Health Promotion, students will develop skills in the provision of nursing care and acquire a thorough understanding of the social and environmental factors that cause poor health, together with the factors that create and sustain good health. You will study a wide range of units that provide the knowledge base for health promotion practice such as environmental health, health sociology, planning and evaluation, epidemiology, biostatistics and research. You will learn to apply public health and health promotion strategies to populations at risk of disease and will gain a sound understanding of the importance of health education, the factors influencing health practices, and strategies to promote the health of individuals and groups.
Students may elect to exit the combined program and complete either the Bachelor of Nursing requirements OR the Bachelor of Public Health and Health Promotion requirements only.
This course is specifically designed to fulfil the registration requirements for Registered Nurse (Division 1) of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA). Graduates may be eligible to become members of the Public Health Association of Australia (PHAA) and the Australian Health Promotion Association (AHPA).
Public health and health promotion is a growing area of employment in Australia and around the world. Upon completion of this combined course you will be qualified to work in areas such as health education, human services and health policy development and implementation in addition to more traditional nursing roles. The course will develop your skills and allow employment in the provision of nursing care and health promotion services for individuals and groups in a range of clinical and community settings. Your knowledge of the social and environmental factors that affect the health of individuals and populations will prepare you for a career in a range of clinical and community settings such as public health, schools, rehabilitation, health education, voluntary organisations, patient support agencies or working abroad.
The Bachelor of Nursing/Bachelor of Public Health and Health Promotion comprises 32 credit points. Students must fulfil the requirements of each of the two degrees in their course of study.
One (1) ) credit point of units is course grouped for both nursing and public health and health promotion; nineteen (19) credit points are specific to nursing; twelve (12) credit points are specific to public health and health promotion.
There is an expectation that students be available to undertake clinical practicum outside of trimester dates. All expenses associated with clinical placements are the responsibility of the student.
See course entry for Bachelor of Nursing (H326) or Bachelor of Public Health and Health Promotion (H313).

CATEGORIES Drama, Foreign Language, Independent, Oscar Watch, Cinematical Indie, Oscars, CinematicalYou might recall that last year's winner of the Best Foreign Language Oscar came from Germany: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's superb drama The Lives of Others. The film examined the effects of a government spying upon its own citizens; in her review for Cinematical, Martha Fischer wrote: "What's most impressive about The Lives of Others is how smoothly it blends politics with both the traditional elements of thrillers and unabashed sentimentality." The Lives of Others is a tough act for anyone to follow. Cineuropa is reporting that Germany has selected another drama for their Academy Award submission this year, though with a decidedly different subject: Fatih Akin's The Edge of Heaven.
The Edge of Heaven won the screenplay prize at Cannes. Our own James Rocchi commented: "Akin's latest movie is about a father and son, and a mother and a daughter; it's also about the gulf and gap between Europe and Turkey, between the West and Islam, between repentance and forgiveness." He liked certain aspects of the movie, but couldn't shake his feeling "that The Edge of Heaven's twists and tricks are, in their own way, predictably unexpected. ... [It's] just another journey down what used to be the road less traveled."
I liked one of the director's previous films, Head On, very much, so despite the less than enthusiastic reviews I'm still hoping The Edge of Heaven gets picked up for US distribution. It opens theatrically in Germany on September 27. The official site has more pictures and information, though none of the text is in English.

Reality and Fantasy don't mix
Reality and Fantasy don't mix
By Chuck Klosterman
Special to Page 2
Re: Reality and Fantasy don't mix
This is exactly why I wasn't interested in that Head Coach game.
"NFL Head Coach" is -- indeed -- the most realistic sports simulation I've ever found.
And it sucks.
It is the dullest, most bureaucratic game ever created. All you ever do is sit through meetings, stare at scouting reports, watch scrimmages, and make unemotional small talk with an extremely detail-obsessed owner. This has got to be the only video game in the world where part of the intended "amusement" is not responding to e-mail during daily office hours. "NFL Head Coach" is so real it's almost devoid of pleasure. I was drawn to this game because I wanted reality ... which -- as we all know -- is repetitive and hard. This is why we play games in the first place. As is so often the case, what I "want" is the opposite of what I want. For whatever the reason, we have all been convinced that authenticity means everything.I am a dipshit!!!

Re: Reality and Fantasy don't mix
I fell in this category:
For years, I pushed my fantasy peers toward the concept of a "keeper league," which we finally adopted in 2002...My natural inclination is to make every detail more realistic, which -- at least in my mind -- makes everything better. But it turns out the opposite is true. Moving to a keeper league has really had only one impact: It has made "draft night" shorter and less exciting -- and that, of course, is typically the only night of the fantasy season that's really, truly fun (and the only evening of the entire year when I communicate with most of the other owners in real time). In other words, I actively convinced nine other dudes that we should make our fantasy league less social and more uninteresting.

Jennifer Thompson was named the NEWMAC Women's Diver of the Week for the fourth time this season, while Jack Lewis took home NEWMAC Men's Diver of the Week accolades for the fourth time as well. Freshman Callie Phillips was selected as the NEWMAC Women's Swimmer of the Week for the first time in her career.
Phillips was a key reason why Springfield was able to topple both Hartwick and Union on Saturday in a tri-meet. The East Longmeadow, Mass. native was tremendous as she picked up three victories, winning the 200 free in 1:59.41, touching first in the 200 IM in 2:14.04, and taking the 500 free in 5:14.97.
A product of Cheshire, Conn., Thompson continued to lead the Pride in the diving events as she swept the competition on Saturday. In the tri-meet win, Thompson was first on the one-meter board with a national qualifying score of 262.85 and also won the three-meter with a national qualifying mark of 288.45.
On the men's side, Lewis swept the diving competition in a tri-meet with Hartwick and Union on Saturday. On the one-meter board, the sophomore posted a winning and national qualifying score of 282.55. The Durham, N.H. native later won on the three-meter with another national-qualifying score of 281.05.

Eww Kristen Stewart fans are a disgrace to the Twilight fandom. I'm sure your "idol" would be horrified if she found out her "fans" are trashing her friend. Seriously, how can you bash someone you don't know? If you don't like her GET OUT! Your poor attitude reflects on your idol. Remember that when you're bashing someone's who's done nothing to you.

Anyone who thinks Kristen Stewart is prettier than Nikki is clearly into stoned out looking cow. And someone who disappears from the media circuit for months at a time is hardly someone I'd call a famewhore. So you can go ahead and give that title to Trashley G.

Wells Fargo Bank to pay $175 million in discrimination charge settlement

Caveat Emptor!
Gather information and shop around.
Better yet, save first, then buy.
on Jul 13, 2012 at 4:24 pm
The people that got denied loans now get money PLUS they were spared from buying an overpriced house that would probably be underwater or foreclosed on by now. What an ironic twist of good luck for someone that was discriminated against...lol.
on Jul 13, 2012 at 9:42 pm
Shouldn't corporations show some remorse just like people want to see remorse from petty criminals?
on Jul 13, 2012 at 10:40 pm
I think we need to be compassionate toward Wells Fargo, for as a corporation it is a person with feelings, too. Thankfully this sort of occurrence rarely happens in a free enterprise system. Because free enterprise brings out the best in people. It makes them honest, forthright, transparent, and willing to show the public their personal tax records. What is far worse than the irony of a great corporation being discriminated against for allegedly discriminating against people who didn't have enough cash to buy a house outright, is that we have a sitting president who has never released his law school transcripts (where, hmph, he was president of the Harvard Law Review) and who obviously is in way over his head.
on Jul 15, 2012 at 7:47 am
Golly, I just had the most brilliant idea! What are people who can't even afford to buy their own homes going to do with $175 million? Is it not safe to say that they will likely fritter it away on essential consumer goods? So, I'm thinking on judgments such as this, the $175 million should be awarded only symbolically to the little people while the actual $175 million should be diverted to wealthy job creating heroes, like myself and my friends. This strikes me as being a sound business decision that would improve our economy immensely. That is why we need a businessman in the White House, not this other guy who's in over his head. (Hey, has he ever shown his law school transcripts yet? How in the heck did he become student president of the Harvard Law Review anyway? One of my staffers heard that Acorn might have been behind it.)
Mr. Mitt (aka Mr. Transparency)

The article doesn't say the people's loans were denied, it said they "were steered into costlier subprime loans or required to pay higher fees and rates than similarly qualified non-Hispanic whites." Many of them undoubtedly are underwater or foreclosed now.

With the exception of recurring bill payments, you must execute each non-recurring bill payment. A bill payment may be set in advance by inserting the future date you wish your payment sent, or setting the bill as recurring.
Any change to recurring or future transactions will affect occurrences of the transaction that have not processed. Only changes to future transaction will process.
*It is your responsibility to leave sufficient time for the payee to credit your account when making any bill payment transaction. You must check the status of every bill payment you elect to send by checking the Pay Bills – View Postings.

Internet Banking and Transfers
Our Internet Banking offers two types of transfers:
- Regular transfers between accounts
- Recurring or future dated transfers
Recurring transfers are ongoing transfers you set up in advance to recur at regular intervals.
The duration is how long you wish the recurring transfer to take place, for example the length of time to pay off a loan. It is your responsibility to check the posting of recurring transfers.
Recurring transfer(s) you establish from savings or money market accounts are governed by Federal regulations that limit the number of transfers made during a given monthly statement period.
Any changes to recurring transactions will affect any occurrences to transactions that have not been processed. Only future transactions can be changed or edited.
Limitations on Frequency and Amount
Federal regulations state that your ability to transfer funds between certain accounts is limited. You may not make more than six (6) transfers from a savings or money market savings account during a given monthly statement period. In the case of a money market savings account, no more than three (3) of such transfers may be made by check. Recurring transfers are included in these.
There are no limits on the number or dollar amount of transfers or payments you make from your checking account. Balances shown online are real time until 3:00 p.m.... Eastern Time.
Bill payment transactions may not be debited from the account(s) until end of day processing. We have the right to cancel transactions if sufficient funds are not available in your account. However, we may, at our discretion, make the transfer and overdraw your account. If this is the case, you are responsible for all non-sufficient funds ("NSF") and overdraft charges that may apply.
Transactions that we may cancel will post as canceled by admin.
If an Internet Banking transaction and another electronic funds transfer occur on your account on the same day whereby funds are not available for both transactions to occur, the electronic funds transfer will have priority and the Internet Banking transaction will be refused or may result in an overdraft on your account.

CATEGORIES MoviesTypically, when Michael Bay steps behind the camera, you have some expectation for what that film is going to contain -- incredible amounts of action, massive explosions, gunfire, and car chases. However, "Pain & Gain" is a departure from the giant blockbusters that have been near synonymous with Bay's name over the years.
Made for the lowest budget -- $26 million -- since his debut feature "Bad Boys" back in 1995, Bay has to rely on strong character work and sharp dialogue rather than visual effects to bring the real-life tale of a Miami crime spree committed by a gang of bodybuilders to the big screen. It's a different side of Michael Bay than we've become accustomed to, and perhaps one we may wind up seeing more of, depending on how the film performs at the box office. The door is now open for the director famous for the spectacles of "The Rock," "Armageddon," and three "Transformers" movies (a fourth is on the way next year) to do much smaller, more personal projects in the future.
Here, Bay expands upon such desires as well as what initially drew him to this story. He also discusses the different approaches needed for a film like "Pain & Gain" as opposed to "Pearl Harbor," and explains his creative process for taking on well-established and beloved properties like the Transformers and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Moviefone: So your career has been full of big budget, blockbuster films, but you started out with "Bad Boys," which was, at least monetarily, very small. Are you more comfortable doing films like this? Oh yeah. I would like to do more of these. This was always a cool script sitting on my shelf, and I knew it would be a fun movie to do. I knew it would be easy and just actors acting, so it was really refreshing. I tried to inject some style into it -- I didn't want it to take itself too seriously, on the shooting style. But it's also tough, because you're stuck in a box, you know?
As opposed to having a bigger budget... Well, there were times that the studio tried to shut me down. "Why do you need those two days?" "Because it's called a f*cking ending. We need the f*cking ending. We either shoot it now or shoot it later, alright? Go ahead! Shut me down! Come on down to Florida!" And of course they never show up. Just to make them happy, we took out a scene, just to save on schedule. But I knew I was going to shoot it when I got back home.
So when you're doing something this small, does it give you a little bit more room to experiment or go outside your comfort level? Yeah. I used weird shots. Like, there's rain dropping on the lens...and I just like the screwed up look to it? That's what I mean: don't take it so seriously. Is there a comfort? I mean it's a comfort to know that I've already made the studio so much money that I'm going to go out and if I fail miserably, no harm no foul. We spent 26 million bucks on it, and it seems like people are really liking the movie, so we'll see.
The other thing that is interesting to me is that the characters preach so much on the American dream, and yet they're somewhat hypocritical in their actions because they're then proceeding with the anti-American dream. Were you trying to make a social commentary on this entitlement society that we have now? Yeah. The thing that I latched onto when I read the real case and the detailed article was people being misguided in American dreams. I mean, these guys? They had jobs. They were working. It was interesting how it was in that bodybuilding culture where they're just never happy. They're working out so hard. They want to be bigger, better, slicker, smoother. So that's a thing that I always liked about the story. That made it comical to me. We're not making fun of the crime, but these guys were such boneheads and oddly brilliant and delusional. There's a weird mixture.
There is a very strange balance that you have to strike. It's comical without being funny because it's so dark. Yeah, it's not a comedy. It's like watching a train wreck. It starts out as fun and games and then it gets very serious. But the train wreck just becomes a bigger train wreck. I just like the pace and the energy at the end of the movie. You can't make light of the victims. The thing is, this doesn't really explore the victims. It's almost a side subject. It's exploring the criminal's delusional mind. Like I said, have you ever met a criminal who thinks they did something wrong? They're all in prison saying, "I didn't do it." It's just a weird delusion. It was an interesting character study, I think. So reel it in? I don't know. It's a pretty out there movie.
You have "Transformers 4" coming up along with the new "Ninja Turtles" movie. What is your approach to taking on established properties? Is it seeing the fandom and trying to work from that? Or do you build it from scratch? There was that quote saying that we're making [the Ninja Turtles as] aliens. We're not. It's the ooze! It's from the original source material. These are from the original writers, and I never went out to correct myself in the press. I do listen to the fans and I do want this to be authentic. I think they're going to be really happy with this movie. When I see the digital stuff, the turtles look great. But I'm getting away from your question. Your question was...
Well it's more about how you approach these films, like for example, on "Tranformers," you already have the built in audience. See, I was not a fan of Transformers [at first]. Hasbro was talking about giving me a whole Transformers story, and I'm like, "If I can do this really real. If I can make them believable, I think I could have something here." I'm not a Hollywood guy. My friends are normal guys. I've got this guy from Texas. He's like, "Mike, that "Transformers" [movie] seems like a dumb idea." And I'm like, "Yeah, I know, but just give it a second." And then I showed him the shot of the Scorponoks jumping out of the sand with Tyrese [Gibson] running. He saw that image and he went, "I see what you're doing." You'll always have haters, but the last movie? One-hundred-twenty million people saw that movie. There's still a lot of fans of that franchise. And I'm a huge Transformers fan now, and I protect that brand.
When you're doing films like that, there are a lot of cooks in the kitchen. Whether it's the fans, the studios, the toy companies. How do you try to strike a balance at that point? Trying to please everyone and then also trying to make a film that you want to make. [The film] was also to make non-Transformer fans into Transformer fans. I think it was good coming from that perspective that it wasn't a "fanboy" movie.
Yeah, because then you're limited in what you can do and what you can show. Yeah. You know there are a couple of historians of Transformers. I would do my designs of the robots and they're like, "What if you just add a little bit more ears to Optimus?" But they're really hands off. We've redesigned them in "Transformers 4," and there's some really cool sh*t in it. I'm literally redesigning every character, top to bottom. There's a reason why they're redesigned, but it's also to keep it new and fresh to me. I think the fans will appreciate some of this new stuff we have in the movie and some of the new characters.
I know when you did "Transformers 3," you were kind of done... Yeah, and this is literally a true story. I went to the [Transformers] ride in Universal, and there's a two-and-a-half-hour line, and you just see all these kids -- it's the most popular ride they've had since Jurassic Park -- and I'm like... It's hard to let go of your franchise. You don't want someone to f*ck it up. So I at least wanted to set it up on some good footing. Because you're going to get a different kind of director [who is] not going to want to follow in my footsteps. Directors feel very territorial. So they're going to go to a more inexperienced director. It's just the way Hollywood works. And I'm thinking, "God, so I'll redesign it, set it up... Someone's gonna f*ck this up. This is way too big of a thing." And I'm looking at all these kids and I'm like, "F*ck, I gotta do one more." And then I brought Mark [Wahlberg] into it. So now we've got a movie star, we've got full redesigns. At least it'll be on good footing.
