Ultimately, The Fighter loses its courage and betrays the terms of its own story by fashioning an interpretation designed to please the people it portrays.

This movie was about the lowest class of human beings you can find. The family of Mark Wahlberg were pure trash. The mother and sisters were all about taking advantage of Wahlberg and using him purely for their needs. They had no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The brother, Bale, was a drug addict former boxer who silmilary was just using his brother until he gets thrown in jail, sobers up, and repents (after getting out of jail he lets his brother continue with his new girl and manager without intervening). Apart from this insignificant gesture, he too had no redeeming qualities. In fact, just about everybody in this movie, with the exception of Wahlberg's father and new girlfriend, were low lifes. I don't like to say this about anyone, but anyone in Wahlberg's shoes should have been smart enough to run as far away from his trash family as possible. This was clear. Why he didn't is beyond me. Anyone who sees this money will notice (1) this trash and (2) ask "why in the world didn't Wahlberg get rid of his family long ago." The movie and especially the characters sucked.

For the first 35 or 40 minutes I was thinking, "this has to get better...soon". Bale'e remarkable transformation into an irritating, self destructive character was masterful. However, his Character, "Dicky", with the enabling help of his white trash mother and (7) despicable sisters arely nearly successful in dragging their brother/son, and potential boxing contender (Miky Ward), into their swamp of Failure, human squaller, and degradation. Great acting on Bale's part, but it made his character no less unlikeable. The rest of the movie was better, but was definitely no "Rocky", which was the producer and director's stated goal. Even Wahlberg's character was not a likeable as Rocky. That said; an overall entertaining two hours.

This is one of the Best Movies I have seen this year. It is an inspiring Rags to Riches story of a man who beats the odds. His family and mostly his Brother are the two biggest problems in his life. But at the end, after standing up to his family, and getting a Girl Friend, life seems to fall into place for him, and he becomes Welter Weight Champion of the World. Definately a 5 Star Movie!!!

Secret to Long Life is Looking at Bright Side of Life, Scientists Say
by Thilaka Ravi on July 05, 2012 at 1:07 PM Anti-Aging News - G J E 4
Scientists say people who maintain a positive outlook, boost feelings of optimism and life satisfaction have a greater chance of living longer.
Once people reach a certain age, their "will to live" is a strong predictor for survival irrespective of their age, gender or whether they suffer from two or more chronic, life-affecting illnesses.
Scientists from Helsinki University looked at 400 people aged between 75 and 90 who lived independently in the city.
They wanted to assess the people's will to live which - although it is highly subjective - can be defined as a psychological expression of the striving for life.
"Put simply, our study showed that those who wanted to live longer also survived longer," the Daily Express quoted Researcher Helena Karppinen as saying.
The study is published in the journal Age and Ageing, the scientific journal of the British Geriatrics Society.

Kanye West Does An Interview: 10 Classic Lines
Kanye West is known lately for his regurgitation of negative attention, of his unwillingness to interview and his decision to at least appear dark, brooding and distant when he appears in public.
And that's precisely what makes Yeezus, the rapper's upcoming sixth album, so intriguing. West has gone from an in-the-spotlight hit maker to one disillusioned with what fame has brought him, and what's getting in the way of him reaching his full potential.
Related: Kanye West Unveils 'Yeezus' At NYC Album Event
The Internet was abuzz Tuesday night (June 11) when it surfaced that Kanye had, in fact, granted an interview pre-Yeezus release — with the The New York Times. As expected, the five-page chat (accomplished over three days) is full of revealing quotations, strange one-liners and the chronic sense that the only person that holds West up to higher standard and scrutinizes him more than the general public is West himself.
Here are a few of the most classic of Kanye lines from the NYT interview:
1. "Anytime I've had a big thing that's ever pierced and cut across the Internet, it was a fight for justice. Justice. And when you say justice, it doesn't have to be war. Justice could just be clearing a path for people to dream properly."
Remember when Kanye interrupted Taylor Swift? Yeah, you may have thought he showed remorse for robbing a budding singer of her big awards show moment, but it was actually all for justice, in the name of dreaming properly. #GoodGuyKanyeWest
As an aside, his line telling readers to quit reading if they expected any sort of apology was killer.
2. "Maybe 90 percent of the time it looks like I'm not having a good time."
At least lately it seems that way. Did you see his promo bits on SNL last month? Every time he's shown walking through a city street? OK, maybe he's still seething at that parking sign that got in his way (something wrong / I hold my head), but still. 90 percent might actually be a generous number. I remember seeing him crack a smile at the end of SNL during goodbyes and thinking "Wow, he still has it in him!"
3. "Yeah, kill self. That's all I have to say. Kill self."
This in regards to his fashion from a couple years ago that he looks back on now, as someone who apparently takes quite a bit of time to get ready in the morning. Frankly, I think we can all look back five or 10 years at our own fashion and kind of agree. Pink polos, man.
4. "I'm forever the 35-year-old 5-year-old. I'm forever the 5-year-old of something."
What's his age again? But seriously, this is accurate. A 5-year-old often does things without thinking of the consequences at that time. The difference is that you wonder if Kanye IS thinking of the consequences and does it anyway. Which, I guess, is still a younger child move.
5. "You know, if Michael Jordan can scream at the refs, me as Kanye West, as the Michael Jordan of music, can go and say, 'This is wrong.'"
One could take issue with West's proclamation that he's music's Michael Jordan (though with his penchant for saying the wrong things at inopportune times, he might be more like Michael Scott from The Office), but who else would actually be the Jordan of music? Timberlake? Hova? Psy?
Actually, I kind of like that Michael Scott comparison to an extent. Thinks he's doing the right thing, coworkers always performing damage control, has some fabulous one-liners but is actually quite good at his job when you get down to it. Shoot, maybe Kim will be his Holly and they'll ride off into the sunset, and the rap game will be so less interesting. I don't know. Discuss.
6. "It's only led me to complete awesomeness at all times. It's only led me to awesome truth and awesomeness. Beauty, truth, awesomeness. That's all it is."
Again, referencing the T-Swift incident. Congratulations, Taylor and MTV. You helped Kanye go full Kanye. Have a cookie.
7. "I want to say that after working with Rick [Rubin], it humbled me to realize why I — even though I produced Watch the Throne; even though I produced Dark Fantasy — why I hadn't won Album of the Year yet."
See, he can still be humble! Earlier in the interview, West laments losing out on the coveted GRAMMY for the year's best album, but it's because he and super-producer Rick Rubin hasn't made the worthy album just yet. So what happens when Yeezus doesn't win either?
8. "What people call a rant — but put it next to just a drumbeat, and it cuts to the level of, like, Run-D.M.C. or KRS-One. The last record I can remember — and I'm going to name records that you'll think are cheesy — but like, J-Kwon, "Tipsy." People would think that's like a lower-quality, less intellectual form of hip-hop, but that's always my No. 1."
Let's pause for a moment and think about how fantastic it is that Kanye calls "Tipsy" his No. 1, and about how you finally feel fully justified for loving that song as much as you do.
9. "I think what Kanye West is going to mean is something similar to what Steve Jobs means. I am undoubtedly, you know, Steve of Internet, downtown, fashion, culture. Period. By a long jump. I honestly feel that because Steve has passed, you know, it's like when Biggie passed and Jay-Z was allowed to become Jay-Z."
Oh, Yeezy, stop being so modest!
10. "I will be the leader of a company that ends up being worth billions of dollars, because I got the answers. I understand culture. I am the nucleus."
Is "I Am the Nucleus" the follow-up to "I Am a God"? Can it be? I NEED THIS SONG IN MY LIFE.

It's no secret that, as dedicated Cal football fans, our spirits have a tendency to rise and fall with the success of our favourite football team. Sometimes, we get so connected to the game that we feel responsible for what happens on the field. This is why, oftentimes, you will see fans (especially in the south) praying during games (worth noting: Tony Dungy, a religious man, says he never prayed for his team's success because God has better things to do).
That said, what are your gameday superstitions? What things do you think, or imagine, affect the team and try to control? Is it out-of-control expectations - imagining victory in a close game while the game is still within reach? Is it taunting the football gods with trash-talking and stupid "FOURTH QUARTER'S OURS" chants? Or is it something as simple as wearing the wrong colour jersey? Bringing a good-luck charm?
My personal superstition is simple - as a general CFB fan, I like to follow almost every single game on Saturdays, including West Arkansas A&M @ Mid-Nebraska Tech. I check scores on my phone constantly, but for some reason, bad things always happen to the team when I check scores on my phone while I'm in the stands. As such, I try to keep my phone hidden away.
Anyway, let's hear yours!
P.S. Eight days till Cal football!
*I take no responsibility for anyone who already hates this DBD just because I posted it.

5 Facts About Your Student Loan Grace Period
A grace period is the amount of time you have before your first student loan payment is due.
If you graduated from college last spring, the grace period on your Stafford loans may be ending this month.
Here are 5 facts you should know about your grace period.
1. Your grace period begins automatically…
Your grace period starts as soon as you stop carrying at least half of a full course load. Definitions of half-time enrollment vary by school. It's important to know how your school defines this—especially if your schedule changes.
2. …And so do your payments.
Once your loan's grace period ends, it will automatically enter repayment. That means your first Stafford loan payment may be due if you graduated last spring.
When repayment begins, you will be automatically enrolled in standard repayment. If your standard payments are too high, you can choose a repayment plan that better fits your needs.
3. You can use your grace period more than once.
Each eligible federal student loan receives a single grace period. However, you retain your full grace period if you return to full-time student status before your grace period ends.
For example, after using 4 months of a 6-month grace period, you return to at least half-time status. The next time you drop below half-time enrollment, you would still receive that full 6-month period.
4. Your grace period's length varies.
Your grace period's length depends on the type of student loan you have:
- Stafford loans have a 6-month grace period.
- Perkins loans have a 9-month grace period.
- Grad PLUS loans disbursed on or after July 1, 2008, have a 6-month grace period.
- Grad PLUS loans disbursed before July 1, 2008, do not have a grace period.
- Borrowers of Parent PLUS loans first disbursed on or after July 1, 2008, can request a 6-month grace period.
- Borrowers of Parent PLUS loans first disbursed before July 1, 2008, do not receive a grace period.
- Grace periods vary for private loans—you can contact your lender to find out about your grace period.
If you consolidate your loans, you may lose your grace period on loans that were not in repayment before you consolidated them.
5. You are responsible for knowing your grace period's details.
Use the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) to stay on top of your payments and keep tabs on your federal student loans online.
Remember, you are responsible for making your payments on time—even if you have not received a bill or payment notice. Contact your servicer (the company that sends your student loan bills) or lender to find out when your first payment is due, how much you owe, and where to send your payments.
Also, begin repaying before your grace period ends if you can. You are not required to take advantage of your grace period.

Although this collection is still in its infancy, future additions may include archival as well as published materials and may be drawn from a variety of formats: books, manuscripts, prints, photographs, audio and video, and more. Our first submission to the collection is a group of grassroots posters from the Indian feminist organization, Olakh (meaning Identity). The posters have been collected from different women's groups and feminist organizations from all over India. These posters are not simply beautiful pieces of material culture created by individual artists. Most of the posters are the outcome of a collective political process in which community members, activists, students, and/or survivors brainstorm together to translate a deep social concern into words and images.

Robynn Takayama fundraising for Bike Down Benefit Ride
Robynn Takayama and Stanley Lam fundraising for CYCLES OF CHANGE
I'm biking from San Francisco to Santa Cruz to raise money for Cycles of Change!
I became a bike commuter 9 years ago and have enjoyed how my heart pumps and the City shrinks when the wheels roll under me. I'm riding to make sure others can benefit from riding a bike.
200 Reasons why I'm riding 100 miles for Cycles of Change
Over the past ten years, Cycles of Change has given away thousands of bicycles to youth and adults in the East Bay. What started as a dream and a pile of discarded bikes in a garage near Lake Merritt has evolved into an organization that is a model for creating healthy, strong communities connected to each other and the natural world.
In 2012 alone, just ONE Cycles of Change Program - the Bike Go Round - gave away 200 bicycles to low-income adults in the East Bay. That's 200 people who now have access to jobs away from major transit lines, 200 ways to exercise without paying a gym membership fee, 200 parents, immigrants, caregivers, workers, refugees, and Oakland natives who have discovered (or re-discovered) the freedom that comes from traveling by bike.
** Despite the high demand for the Bike Go Round, the program is in danger of getting cut, and we need to raise $15,000 by March 1st to save it. **
I've committed to raising $1,500 to help save the Bike Go Round. Can you help? A donation of $5, $10, or $20 will go a long way towards my goal.
If you're a Facebook user, you can also show support by saying you're "going" to this Facebook event to help get the word out about this fundraiser: https://www.facebook.com/events/127498680749418/

TMZ - Someone has it out for Bristol Palin on "Dancing with the Stars" -- TMZ has learned, the suspicious package that was sent to the CBS lot Thursday came with ONE demand ... remove Bristol from the show ... or else.
Sources at CBS tell TMZ, a note was attached to the white-powdery package that read something like, "This is what will happen to you if Bristol Palin stays on [the show]."
The white powder was later determined to be harmless -- but we're told law enforcement is still treating the situation as a credible threat, and is currently investigating the situation.
FYI -- this is the SECOND time Bristol has been targeted by a suspicious letter while appearing on "Dancing with the Stars." The first package was sent when Bristol first appeared on the show in 2010. It also contained a threat.
Bristol is currently a contestant on "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars."

I don't think the Knicks are ready to play basketball, and their offense has fallen apart. Everyone is hating Toney, but he was not this bad in the past. He has no one to pass to, pressure is up, so he is very tentative. He and Landry look like they've lost all confidence in their ability to play basketball. Chandler also is feeling too much pressure be a shotblocking presence, so he's blocking shots instead of playing his usual D. And of course the other Knicks let their guys run right past them so Chandler has to step up.
The entire bench is either not ready yet or totally washed up.
Amar'e seriously looks worse than ever and this was my biggest fear from the end of last season. If Amar'e hadn't retired this summer the Knicks would still have two big weapons, they'd have more shot opportunities, they wouldn't be falling behind and giving up.
The Knicks offense right now are Melo trying to carry the team, and Balkman at his best. Everyone else stands around and does nothing. Oversimplifying the problem, but that's about it. They might as well get Novak more corner shots and let Jordan show some more, maybe as the first guy off the bench. Send Amar'e over to Germany to get the Kobe/A-Rod treatment. He'll be fine in 2 months.

Military Law
Soldier pleads guilty to giving Wikileaks classified info but denies 'aiding the enemy'
Posted Feb 28, 2013 3:21 PM CDT
By Mark Hansen
Pfc. Bradley Manning has pleaded guilty to 10 charges in connection with what the government says is the largest leak of classified information in the nation's history.
The Army intelligence analyst is accused of stealing thousands of classified documents while on duty in Iraq and turning the material over to Wikileaks, which published it online, CNN reports.
The 10 charges to which Manning pleaded guilty Thursday constitute only half of the charges against him. He still faces a court-martial on the balance of the 22 charges against him, including the most serious charge—that he "aided the enemy."
The Guardian reports that each of the lesser charges carries a maximum two-year sentence, while Manning could face life imprisonment if convicted of the aiding-the-enemy charge, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
CNN quoted a military lawyer who follows the case as saying Manning entered into what is known as a "naked plea," or a guilty plea in the absence of a plea deal. The lawyer suspected that Manning is taking this approach in hopes that the government won't go through the effort of trying him on the remaining charges. But the government has maintained in previous hearings that it intends to pursue convictions on the remaining charges.
At Thursday's hearing, Army Judge Col. Denise Lind asked Manning whether he understood what he was pleading guilty to. She also reminded him that his lawyer had filed a motion to dismiss the case against him on the grounds that he was denied his right to a speedy trial, which she denied on Tuesday.

Genre: Strategy
Advance WarsTM, the award-winning turn-based strategy game, makes its debut on the Nintendo DS. Players lead their new Commanding Officers to fend off the Black Hole Army's latest invasion. With massive battles that sweep across both of the DS screens, Advance Wars: Dual Strike will change the face of war forever.
- Use the top screen for quick-reference battle intel, or take control in battles that rage across both screens. Command a fleet of fighters high in the skies while troops clash with the enemy on the ground far below.
- New COs, new Tag-Team battles: Choose from new Commanding Officers, and combine their powers for incredible attacks that can turn the tide of battles.
- Real-time Combat mode: For a battle with a twist, players lead soldiers into a fast-paced, action-oriented battle against a storm of enemies.
- Easy-to-use map editor: Just grab a stylus and draw maps right on the touch screen, then send the maps to friends wirelessly.
Game Storyline: On the heels of its last defeat, the nefarious Black Hole Army has fallen under the control of a deadly new commanding officer. He has sent its new COs to attack the nations of Wars World once again, and it's up to the allied armies of Orange Star, Blue Moon, Yellow Comet and Green Earth to put an end to Black Hole once and for all.
Characters: All of the COs from the first two Advance Wars games are here, as well as nine new characters. These include Orange Star's Rachel and Jake, Blue Moon's Sasha, Yellow Comet's Javier, Green Earth's Grimm and the Black Hole Army's Koal, Jugger, Kindle and Von Bolt. Each army receives new COs, each with unique CO powers.
How to progress through the game: Advance Wars: Dual Strike contains several game modes:
- In Campaign mode, players fight back against the Black Hole Army's invasion.
- Vs. Mode offers dozens of new battle maps, as well as tons of favorite maps from the previous two Advance Wars games. Players can play both normal and DS battles, both single and multiplayer, providing endless replay potential.
- Combat mode gives players fast-paced action: Instead of turn-based battles with large armies, players fight in real time while controlling a single unit.
Both Combat and Free Battle are available for multiplayer matches. Using DS Download Play, combat can be played wirelessly by up to eight people using a single game card.
There are two kinds of battles: Normal and DS Battle.
- In normal battles, the battle map appears on the touch screen, and the top screen displays information about players' units and enemies. Players can check their units' strengths, watch a missile's trajectory or check the clock in timed matches.
- In new DS Battles, players fight on both the top screen and the touch screen. Fight one battle on the ground and another battle in the sky, or direct two separate battles, providing support by sending units from one battle to the other. If the top-screen battle needs a boost, send a few tanks up to lend a hand.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features: Advance Wars: Dual Strike uses both screens: the touch screen for battles and the top screen for special information, from unit and terrain details to special conditions in each battle. In special DS Battles, players fight on the top screen as well, commanding both battles and redeploying units from one screen to the other. The Map Editor now uses the stylus, so that players can draw their maps right on the touch screen. Players now can trade their maps wirelessly too. Players also can use the stylus to give orders to their units; from moving to attacking, they control everything from the touch screen. Each time Commanding Officers win a battle, they gain experience – over time, they can learn new battle skills that increase their strengths or boost a unit's abilities. There are more than 40 battle skills. Each of the COs has two separate special powers: a CO Power and a Super CO Power. These powers can freeze the battlefield, boost the attack range, rain bombs on enemies and much more. Now COs can team up for Dual Strike attacks with even more impressive results. New playable units include hulking aircraft carriers, invisible stealth fighters, devastating omni-missiles and insanely powerful megatanks.
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow – ds
Title: Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Category: ds
US Release Date: 20050929
UK Release Date: 2005-09-29
JP Release Date:
Developer: Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc
Publisher: Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH
ESRB: Teen
Genre: Action
Taking place a year after Aria of Sorrow, the game's protagonist – Soma Cruz – finds himself at the center of a mysterious cult's plan to resurrect their evil lord and master Dracula. To save himself and protect the lives of those he loves, Soma must infiltrate the enemy's home base, a towering replica of Dracula's castle that is teaming with monstrous creatures. Players' abilities develop as they collect items and gather experience points by defeating a multitude of gruesome enemies.
In their quest to defeat enemies, players will utilize original gameplay concepts that leverage the Nintendo DS' touch screen technology. One example is Dawn of Sorrow's "Magic Seal" system. By using the stylus directly on the screen, players must connect a series of symbols in the proper order to unlock an enchanted opening and disperse their enemy's magic into it when they are weakened. The touch screen technology will also be used to destroy "Crystal Blocks." This ability will allow players to access unreachable areas as well as eliminate obstacles. The Nintendo DS' dual screens also allow game information to be readily displayed. During gameplay, the top screen of the Nintendo DS will display an environment map, as well as information on player status, enemy vulnerability, and acquired power-ups.
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow introduces a multitude of new characters into the Castlevania lore. These characters include Celia Fortner, Dario Bossi, and Dmitrii Blinov. Celia is a shadow priest that exercises great magical power and is the founder of a mysterious cult that will stop at nothing to orchestrate the second coming of the "Evil Lord." Dario Bossi is one of Dracula's potential successors. He has the ability to manipulate fire, a power he absorbed from Dracula during the time of his last resurrection. Dario's fiery personality and impulsive tendencies push him to immediate action. Dmitrii Blinov is the other potential successor to Dracula's rein. He has the power to duplicate magical powers and displays an outward impression of rashness and irresponsibility, but make no mistake, Dmitrii is prepared to take any measures necessary to accomplish his goals.
Also aiding players in their battle against dark forces are "Tactical Souls." Players can collect the souls of their fallen enemies to gain powerful new attacks and skills. There are numerous varieties of "Tactical Souls" that allow the player to use different power-ups against the deadliest of enemies. Examples of "Tactical Souls" are "Bullet Souls" and "Guardian Souls." "Bullet Souls" consume magic points while unleashing bursts of magic attacks. "Guardian Souls" consume magic as they create defensive shields or form "helper" demons that the player can control.
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow takes advantage of the Nintendo DS' wireless connection, letting players exchange and/or trade acquired souls to enhance their characters' strength. An incredibly moving musical score, visually stunning graphics and imaginative special effects round out this uniquely innovative gaming experience.

ESRB: Everyone
Genre: Puzzle
An evil planet named Meteo is sending storms of world-ending meteors across the galaxy, and only puzzle skills can stop them. As blocks rain down, use the stylus to align similar ones and launch them back into space.
- Defend more than 30 planets, each with its own alien race, theme music, block style and gravitational laws.
- Explore planets in Star Trip, challenge CPU players of any skill, play multiplayer, survive deluge mode or spend launched Meteos to unlock new planets and features.
- Link wirelessly with up to three friends and have a war of the worlds as players select which planet to launch their Meteos toward. Team up, customize items or establish time or stock limits – players can play however they like.
- Using DS Download Play, players can take on up to three friends with only one game card.
Game Storyline: An evil planet named Meteo has sent asteroid storms all over the galaxy. All planets are in peril, and each must align the falling meteors by similar group to launch them back into space and save their worlds.
Characters: Meteo (which looks like a giant, evil eye) and more than 30 alien races, each with a distinctive look and musical theme.
How to progress through the game: As blocks fall from above, players must align similar designs by groups of three or more to launch them back up. Players can move blocks only vertically (preferably with the stylus, although the game can be played with the plus control pad). Each planet has its own gravitational rules and block style, so as players unlock new ones, they must learn new skills. There are many modes, and in all of them players earn Meteos – anything launched off the top of the screen goes into a bank, and players can then spend them to unlock new planets, items, features and modes.
Special powers/weapons/moves/features: There are an incredible number of modes, from Star Trip (progress from planet to planet) to wireless multiplayer to deluge mode, where the Meteos fall at a steadily increasing rate. Not only that, but almost every mode is customizable, allowing players to set the difficulty level of their opponents, time or stock limits, or even item sets. Items vary from vision-obscuring smokescreens to Meteos-destroying hammers. Besides an instantly addictive multiplayer mode, this game also features DS Download Play, allowing players to fight up to three friends with just one game card.

Call for police to re-investigate 'unexplained' deaths of mum and young son in Bradford house fire
Updated 12:18pm Monday 7th July 2014 in News Exclusive By Steve Wright, Crime Reporter
CALL: The family of Denise Clough, who died with her son Mark in unexplained house fire in 2003, who are calling for a renewed police investigation, (front, from left) sisters Diane Ellison and Joanne Clough and (back, from left) brother Derek Clough and
The family of a mother and her six-year-old son, who died more than a decade ago in an unexplained house fire in Bradford, is calling for the case to be re-investigated by murder squad detectives.
Denise Clough, 38, and her son Mark, were killed when a fierce fire swept through their semi-detached home in Broadstone Way, Holme Wood, in April 2003. They were dragged to safety but were both dead on arrival at hospital.
At the time of the fire, detectives investigated whether it was linked to an argument outside the family home two days earlier, and five men were questioned on suspicion of making threats to kill, but no further action was taken.
An inquest into the deaths recorded an open verdict and was unable to pinpoint exactly what caused the blaze.
The inquest was told Mrs Clough's teenage son, Andrew, who staged a burglary at his own home, might have sparked the blaze when he cut a live cable. But investigators could not rule out the possibility the fire was started by a discarded cigarette or was an arson attack.
Now Mrs Clough's younger sister, Diane Ellison, is spearheading a bid by the family to finally get answers to how their loved ones died.
Mrs Ellison, 47, of Drighlington, said it had been a very long 11 years since the fire, and the family had been left with many unanswered questions, some of which may never be answered.
She said the family was initially contacted by family liaison officers and senior detectives, but that ceased quite early in the investigation.
She said: "The officers involved in this investigation backed away from us and left us with no information, no support and no answers. We were treated extremely badly and left feeling like insignificant bystanders.
"I, and my family, would ask that at the very least an unbiased impartial officer looks again at this case and examines all the evidence again fully with an open mind in the hope that maybe we can, after a long 11 years, receive answers and closure for the family, but most of all that Denise and Mark can maybe get the justice they deserved 11 years ago."
Mrs Ellison said the family believed the investigation had been flawed because officers had focused their attentions on Mrs Clough's son, Andrew.
She said: "We accept that at that time Andrew was a complete nightmare to the police generally and created a lot of public nuisance, and this is the reason we believe that the investigation and all evidence was not given the consideration due.
"I do not suggest this was done intentionally, but that the viewpoint of certain officers was simply tarnished."
Mrs Ellison added: "We are not looking to blame anyone. We would just like some closure."
She has contacted West Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner Mark Burns-Williamson, and her MP Ed Balls, to ask for their support.
Morley and Outwood MP, Mr Balls said: "Mrs Ellison contacted me to make me aware of the events surrounding the tragic death of her sister and nephew in 2003. I've written to the West Yorkshire Acting Chief Constable as well as the Police and Crime Commissioner to ensure the family's case has been investigated and being dealt with in the proper way."
Detective Chief Inspector Paul Fountain, who leads West Yorkshire Police's Major Investigation Review Team, said: "A full investigation into the tragic deaths of Denise and Mark was carried out by a Senior Investigating Officer and a team of detectives, and although a number of people were arrested in connection with the incident, there was insufficient evidence at that time to proceed with a prosecution.
"While some cases may be undetected they are never closed, and I would ask anyone with information on those who might be responsible to come forward and speak to our officers by calling 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
"It is possible that allegiances might have changed in the years which have passed and that those with vital information could now be in a position to tell us everything they know.
"We will also make contact with Diane Ellison to discuss her concerns and establish whether there is any new information that could help us to find those responsible."

For an update on this accident, please see .
One person was seriously injured on Swamp Pike in Limerick this morning when a four-door Saturn sedan struck a utility pole while heading westbound.
The impact of the crash spun the car into the eastbound lane. It came to rest about 75 feet down the roadway. Debris from the crash, including one of the car's wheels, was strewn along the roadway between the utility pole and where the car came to rest.
The passenger of the car was a male in his twenties, according to Limerick Police Chief William Albany. He was transported from the scene with what Albany described as "serious injuries" to his head and extremities.
The female driver of the car appeared uninjured and refused medical attention, Albany said.
She waited in a police vehicle at the scene as police combed through the vegetation on the south side of the road, where, Albany said, police retrieved a wooden box containing "a green leafy substance, not unlike marijuana."
Albany said that witnesses had seen the driver of the car throw something into the vegetation following the crash.
Albany said police were just beginning their investigation and would have more information later today.
Swamp Pike remained closed between Kugler Road and Neiffer Road as of 10:20 a.m.

SOHH Whatcha Think: Keri Hilson Hits The Streets With See Through Shirt + Nicki Minaj Opens Up About Fame, Father's Crack Addiction
Tuesday, Apr 10, 2012 9:03AM
Remember Keri Hilson? Seems like a lifetime ago she's been on the radio or even on television, but the leggy singer/songwriter managed to make my day after some pics of her in a see-through top hit the web.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
Seems like the see-through top thing is catching on, I remember Rihanna rocking something similiar not too long ago. Granted, Keri ain't lookin' as hot as she normally does in the pic, but I'll let that slide. Peep the uncensored pic
Speaking of nips and slips, Young Money's Nicki Minaj recently had an in-depth interview with Nightline. She covered a wide range of topics, including her now-infamous GMA nip-slip incident.
Hot on heels of her "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" release, Nicki Minaj sits down with Juju Chang on ABC's "Nightline" for an interview. The Young Money female rapper addresses many things that are going around about her including Lady GaGa comparison and "Good Morning America" nip-slip. Commenting on how she feels about being compared to the Mother Monster, Minaj confesses she's annoyed by it. "Offend me? No. Irks me? Yeah," she answers. "It's getting tired now to me." About their look, she argued, "Every female in this game wears wigs." Of the over-the-top costumes, she fired back, "Eeh, try again."(AceShowbiz)
The Queens artist went on to discuss her childhood, noting the great pain caused at the hands of her abusive father. Watch the entire interview below.
Recalling her difficult childhood of living with an abusive father, she shares, "It would be like a real bad outburst and we were afraid for [my mother's] life, because whenever he would have a real bad outburst he would threaten to kill her." She adds, "[I was] angry. Angry. I wanted to kill him. I wished he was dead." (AceShowbiz)

Investigations had started from last fall by the attorneys general of all the states, HUD, the Justice Department and the federal regulators including the Federal Reserve against five of the largest banks for foreclosure abuses. But since then cracks have developed. Without proper completion of investigation the team is being accused of rushing into a monetary settlement with the financial entities that will give them immunity from the state lawsuits. But at least three of the states have broken away from the move and rejecting the idea of limiting the accountability of the banks from the grave offences.
The attorney general of Massachusetts Martha Coakley clearly stated in a letter to the assessors of the counties, "Massachusetts will not sign on to any global agreement with the banks if it includes a comprehensive liability release regarding securitization and the MERS conduct". MERS, a pan American company set up by the mega banks recorded the titles through its digital system enabling the banks to skirt fees to be paid at the records office; also plenty of hassle and paper work was avoided. MERS is now being charged for illegal dealings.
Courts are now being overwhelmed by cases brought by individual house owners who have faced wrong foreclosures. They now want to know whether the foreclosure move and seizure had been legal. It is alleged that the entity foreclosing, in many instances, MERS, did not have the legal standing to do so as they did not own either the mortgage or the promissory note.
Top prosecutors at Delaware and New York have already raised their voices regarding giving the nod to any such settlement that would release the banks from liability.
A settlement would have partly resolved the problem between the lenders and the house owners. It would lay out future guide lines for the banks to follow. The agreement would make the banks pay compensation in dollars to those who have been wrongly foreclosed upon. But the longer time it takes for talks to drag on the less likelihood is there of an accord being reached, opines analysts.
The lead to the investigations is being given by Tom Miller the attorney general of Iowa. He has been pushing for an early settlement. He said, "In many cases a loan modification is in everybody's best interest, the homeowner, the investor, services and the national economy. I know it's worth our best efforts to save as many homes as we can".

It'll be a Christmas to remember . . . and it could be Joe and Nicki's last.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Gaia Repossi is setting new rules for fine jewelry. While she works at her family's nearly 100-year-old Place Vendôme house, her approach to precious metal and stones is anything but traditional. For instance, her ear cuffs, as well as her multi Berbère rings, are must-haves for fashionable cool girls like Diane Kruger and Kate Bosworth. And although her forward-thinking, often diamond-sprinkled wares indeed have an haute edge, she has never worked with large stones. Until now, that is. At an appointment yesterday, Repossi unveiled "Serti sur Vide" (which translates to "Set on Empty"), a collection of one-of-a-kind pieces that feature wide set, hand set stones. Our favorite ring is made with two diamonds: a twenty-four carat stone sparkles at the base of the hand and, in an innovative twist, the setting arcs under the finger and a six carat diamond sits on top. "My idea was to surprise people and show them that a large stone can still look modern and not age the [wearer]," Repossi told Style.com. Because of the hidden setting, the diamonds look as though they're floating on your finger. It's delicate, futuristic, and perfect for a twenty-first-century princess.

Cats: The Fashion Calendar, Not The Musical-------
Cats: adorable, right? Furry purring machines batting at balls of string, I can haz all your love and affection? Well, Miuccia Prada may have plastered her cat fancy all over yesterday's Spring 2010 Miu Miu collection, but let's look at the facts. As Alan Weisman notes in his book The World Without Us, centuries of domestication have done nothing to dim the housecat's predatory instincts. Cats, writes Weisman, kill "not only for sustenance, but also seemingly for the sheer pleasure of it." The human race could die out tomorrow and cats—cats!—would not only survive, but thrive. Presumably, they'd evolve into a new master species, farming mice in skyscrapers and keeping the few remaining dogs as slaves. Continue Reading "Cats: The Fashion Calendar, Not The Musical" »

More people may soon learn if they have been exposed to contaminated medication.
The Food and Drug Administration posted a list of potential affected drugs made by the New England Compounding Center on its website.
The FDA is warning patients who received these drugs to watch out for signs of fungal meningitis, such as headache and fever.
The meningitis outbreak has been connected to at least 297 illnesses nationwide, including 1 in Grand Traverse County.
Six people in Michigan are among the 23 deaths.

Most of us take it for granted that we're going to stay balanced, but about 90 million Americans will experience problems with balance at some point in their life due to vision loss, certain neurological problems, damage to the inner ear or just aging.
"Sometimes, I find that if I'm not paying attention, I run into doorways because I'm not walking straight," says Fred Kawabata who has balance problems.
Now, an experimental device is already helping some people like Fred. It's a device that provides feedback. So the person with balance trouble can listen their way to stability. It gives audio cues with different tones and volumes to warn Fred if he's leaning forward, backward, or sideways, much like a carpenter's level.
"This tone, which is really low in volume, tells us that the subject is in a really stable position. That sound is able to make Fred aware of this possibility of fall and is able also to tell Fred what to do in order to prevent the fall," says Marco Dozza, MS an Electrical Engineer at the University of Oregon HSC.
Infrared light from cameras reflect off the balls and provide more data to help researchers analyze movement. It's still experimental at the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center, but researchers there say they hope to begin testing the device soon on people with balance problems caused by diabetes and Parkinson's disease.
Engineers are also working to develop a wireless and portable version that people could use in their homes. Some patients who have already tested the device say they have almost doubled the amount of time in their "safe zone", which describes that straight up area in which they are not in danger of falling.

SPARTA, KY (WAVE) - It's a big week at Kentucky Speedway. Beginning Thursday, the track will host a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, a NASCAR Nationwide Series and the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Quaker State 400.
All the events make for a very busy time for Kentucky State Police in and around Sparta this week.
After some serious traffic nightmares a few years ago when Interstate 71 became an all day parking lot, Kentucky Speedway officials and KSP want to make sure they never repeat that scenario again and so far they say it's looking good. Added lanes and parking have made a huge difference in the last couple of years.
KSP Trooper Brad Arterburn said troopers begin to brainstorm for the next year when the last race ends.
"Planning for this event honestly, it's about a year round thing," he said.
This year there is bridge construction and other road work near Louisville to consider. It could certainly cause some problems and delays for drivers making their way through Louisville to I- 71.
So what's the best advice to avoid traffic headaches?
"Leave early," Arterburn said. "We have the best traffic plan, but if 100,000 people show up at once for a 7 or 7:30 race there's going to be a backup."
And be sure to fill up your tank before you head out.
Another idea is to make a day or even a week of the events by staying in a RV, camper or a tent. Concerts and other events are lined up during the down time around racing.
Social media will also make life easier for fans. Kentucky Speedway and Kentucky State Police will be providing constant traffic and track updates on Facebook and Twitter.
"So, if anything happens, a crash or any sort of backup whatsoever that's going to delay anybody, we're going to let you know in plenty of time," Arterburn explained.
Southbound construction as fans leave the track will be suspended for the weekend so people won't be bottle-necked into one lane on their way home.
Northbound drivers coming from Louisville should use Exit 55. Special parking credentials are needed for Exit 57.
If your involved in a fender bender and you can get out of the roadway, Kentucky State Police ask you to do it so traffic can keep moving.

Shift in Venue: Startup Saturday Shifted to Yashada
A few days back, we reported that Startup Saturday this month features Ganesh Natarajan and the Indian Angels Network, and will be on Saturday, 11th, 3pm to 6pm. Note, however, that there has been a last minute shift in venue for this event from the usual Startup Saturday location to Yashada on Baner Road. The event will now be held in MDC Conference hall No V. This is on the 1st floor of the auditorium building (first building after you enter the gate, next to parking).
The event is free for all to attend. See the original announcement for all other details, including registration information.
If you liked this post, subscribe for updates by email or via RSS.
2 responses to Shift in Venue: Startup Saturday Shifted to Yashada
This is very disappointing. We were waiting outside the original venue for an hour. Organizers should have been present there to inform people about the last minute change. Personally I took so much efforts to reach to the venue and very disappointed at the end of day.
I was waiting at the venue and was wondering looking at the closed gate at the given venue.
It was disappointing. How do i get the details / transcript of the event?
Please guide.

I am starting to collect an annual bouquet of spring wildflowers, which I will be writing about in the upcoming week.
Flowers are beginning to bloom in the hills around the San Jacinto Valley, at Diamond Valley Lake and a short drive away on the Santa Rosa Plateau.
Standout wildflower photographer and avid hiker Cindy Rojas emailed beautiful photos of early blooms in Simpson Park in the hills above Hemet. Kevin Snow, Jana Desrocher, motorcycle-roamer Kevin Johnson, horse-rider Carolyn Truskowski and mountain-bike-rider Brenda Scott all have been shooting flowers too.
Your photos can be part of the gallery I'll be posting on line and updating through the wildflower season. Send them to firstname.lastname@example.com or post them on my www.facebook.com/PE>BobPratte page.

Dr. William H. Danforth has been named the recipient of this year's St. Louis award. The St. Louis Award honor is presented to the "resident of metropolitan St. Louis who, during the preceding year, has contributed the most outstanding service for its development."
According to the St. Louis Beacon, Danforth will receive the award because of his " long-standing commitment to the St. Louis area, particularly for his role in establishing the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center." He is the center's board chairman.
Danforth retired from his position as chancellor of Washington University in 1995.
Danforth is the 85th recipient of the award, the Beacon reports, since the award began in 1931 by the late David P. Wohl.
Commerce Bank's David W. Kemper, president of the St. Louis Award committee, will present the award at a ceremony and reception Tuesday at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center.
Danforth joins a notable list of St. Louisans who have received the award, including University City entrepreneur Joe Edwards, Emily Rauh Pulitzer, Peter Raven and Enterprise Rent-a-Car's Jack Taylor of Clayton.

Determining the Right College for Your Teen
With so many colleges and universities around the United States, how is a perspective student to narrow down their education choices? Let's eavesdrop on a few conversations to see what the thought process is for many juniors and seniors – and their parents:
Father: "My son has decided to apply only to schools with a good Ultimate Frisbee team..."
Girl to her friend: "I want to attend a small college that is located in a suburb of a larger city, so I have easy access to the airport to get home."
Parents: "Our daughter wants to be as far away from home as possible, so that means either East Coast or West Coast."
Mother: "My daughter is being recruited by five Division I schools in diving. The University of Wisconsin seems to be her first choice at this point because she really likes the coach and the team."
Father: "My daughter has no idea what she wants to do or what she wants to study, so I'm encouraging her to attend the local community college to get her basics out of the way until she can decide on a course of study. Financially that seems to be a smarter move."
Mother: "Nicole wants a school with a good dance line, and the University of Minnesota has a great reciprocity agreement with Wisconsin, so it looks like that should be her first choice."
Mother: "I want my son to live at home during school to save money."
Father: "I'd really like my daughter to attend the university, because my wife's job allows her a discount in tuition."
Sean to friends:"I'm not interested in * college because it's too expensive."
Mother of Sean to friends: "Sean is doing a college visit of * college. I know he said it was too expensive, but that was yesterday. Today is a different day."
Beau: "I want a school with a great music department, but I'm not really interested in just a music school – I like science and math, too."
Girl:"I'll take the school that gives me the best financial package."
Girl: "It just feels right here. I fell in love with the whole campus on my visit."
Boy: "I'll go wherever my friends decide to go."
Friend: "I'll go wherever my friends don't go – I don't want my experience to be an extension of high school."
Boy: "I want some place warm. No more snow."
Boy's friend: "I want some place close to the snow, so I can spend lots of time skiing."
Mother: "Peter has his heart set on a school in Canada. I don't know why, but that is his dream."
Brother: "I don't care where my brother goes as long as I get his room when he leaves."
These are all responses to the question of what determines a good choice. Some are concerned with expense, location, distance from home, size of the school, major studies, extracurricular activities, sports, scholarships, friends and just the whole feel of the campus. Everyone has different criterion – a different list of expectations. Take a look at your teen's list and determine what the top factors for consideration seem to be. What best fits your teen's need? Make a list of these factors and plug them in online: "Schools in California" or "Best Schools in Theater." Take that list and narrow it down by the second and third determining factors.
Online applications and the Common Application form make applying less time consuming, as well as more financially feasible for multiple choices. You will find that many colleges and universities now waive the application fee if the application is submitted online. It saves everyone to do it this way. It also means with more choices and more applications in, the college visit and final decision can be made later. Instead of traveling extensively before applying, your teen may receive acceptances and then do the travel.
Take a second look after your teen receives a "yes." Some colleges even offer weekends for groups of perspective students with free travel and food. Your child is assigned a stay with an actual student to get a feel for the campus life and determine if this is what was expected from the school. When asked by the college counselor what the determining factor was in making a final decision, one perspective student answered, "The food."
Boy: "Yeah, I was accepted to eight colleges, but I don't really have to make up my mind just yet. I can look at a couple of them over spring break and decide after that."
Girl: "I thought I had my mind made up as to what my criterion would be, but when it really got down to the final choice, I wasn't as excited as I thought I would be to travel so far away from home, so I am opting to stay just a little closer than I originally thought."
Things change. Her boyfriend in September may no longer be her boyfriend in June. The philosophy class he thought he'd love, he actually hates. That scholarship you were sure she would get went to her best friend instead. The ideal summer job fell through, and your teen had to take a part-time position at a fast food place, so he made less than you expected. Recognize that your teen's choices may change, and that may be OK. It may even be better. Do a lot of listening and talking to others to find out what they think – that means parents talking to children and children talking to parents and friends. Have conversations.

"Our Board of Directors and staff are extremely proud of this accomplishment as these local discretionary endowment funds were established by Rush County citizens to help Rush County citizens.

Summit encourages participants to ignite the spark of innovation
Innovation, while an undeniable catalyst for success in the business world, doesn't develop on its own. A dedicated group of MBA students in Queen's School of Business wants to dig deeper and explore how ideas are transformed into actual business practices.
"We are at an interesting crossroads in the Canadian and world economies, where strategies of the past will not necessarily work in the future," said Christina Waters, MBA'12 and co-chair of the third annual summit. "That's why we wanted to focus on how innovation is a key strategic tool for future personal, corporate and societal success."
While other conferences tend to centre on technological developments, the organizers want to broaden the focus and demonstrate how every sector is affected by it. Leaders from companies, institutions and think tanks from across North America will discuss the best way to use emerging strategies, concepts, trends and ideas to create sustainable competitive advantage.
The MBA students also hope to empower individuals from all faculties and departments to understand what they themselves can offer a firm in terms of innovation, which can then affect the society they are a part of.
The conference, organized and operated entirely by Queen's MBA students, was the first of its kind in Canada when it launched in 2009. For more information, visit the event website.
