Bloomberg checked the books and noted this would be Nintendo's first annual loss in over 30 years, its first since becoming a video game juggernaut.
The negative annual news came bundled with details for the first six months of the fiscal year ending September 30, which saw the platform holder double its expected loss, from ¥35 billion ($462M) to ¥70.2 billion ($926M).
Nintendo blamed "a smaller number of hit titles overall, a decrease of both hardware and software sales ... price reductions of Nintendo 3DS hardware and Wii hardware in overseas markets along with the inventory markdown, and the impact of a much stronger yen against the U.S. dollar."
During the six month period, the 3DS sold 3.07 million units, but just 8.13 million pieces of software. Meanwhile, in the same period, DS models moved 2.58 million units and 29 million pieces of software. 3.35 million Wiis waggled off the shelves, as did 26.45 million games.
The company's stock is currently at a five-year low, with no indications that it won't dip lower and become reacquainted with numbers it hasn't seen since the darker Gamecube era.

Indian airline SpiceJet might switch to Airbus from Boeing
Send this to a friend
- Staff Puget Sound Business Journal
Indian airline SpiceJet, which currently operates a fleet of all Boeing Co. airplanes, could switch to using Airbus airplanes.
Bloomberg reports SpiceJet has 37 Boeing (NYSE: BA) airplanes, with orders for seven more, but is considering switching to Airbus A320neos to replace its Boeing fleet.
SpiceJet's CEO said the A320neo is "the new generation of aircraft that offers the next level of technology."

Another Conflict for Gachassin?
Yet again, a paper trail appears to show that a local development consultant was laying the foundation for a million bucks in fees while he served as chairman of a public board.
By Leslie Turk
Another Conflict for Gachassin?
Yet again, a paper trail appears to show that a local development consultant was laying the foundation for a million bucks in fees while he served as chairman of a public board.
By Leslie Turk
Greg Gachassin stands to make almost $1 million on the controversial downtown mixed-use development Joie de Vivre, a project partially funded by the Lafayette Public Trust Financing Authority. The LPTFA's once-limited involvement, however, has changed in recent weeks, as the public trust is set to take over the entire $16.5 million project from the beleaguered Acadiana Outreach Center. For the past six months, nonprofit Acadiana Outreach, which provided a vital service to the area's homeless and drug-addicted, has been reeling from gross financial mismanagement of its Abbeville treatment facility.
Court records reveal that when he was chairman of the board of trustees for LPTFA in May 2009, Gachassin appeared at the signing for the purchase of 119 Olivier St. in Mills Addition to Urban Ventures, a limited liability corporation that was buying property on behalf of Acadiana Outreach. At that time, Acadiana Outreach was still in the planning stages of the affordable housing development.
Gachassin signed the $55,000 property transaction as a witness, presumably present due to his affiliation with LPTFA.
But it wasn't until April 2011 that the public trust loaned Acadiana Outreach $1 million for the project, so what would have been its role in 2009? Or was Gachassin already working for Acadiana Outreach when he signed as a witness? Therein lies the potential conflict of interest.
At some point after that property purchase, and well shy of two years since his resignation from the LPTFA board, Acadiana Outreach officially contracted with Gachassin as the project consultant.
His appearance at the May 2009 signing reveals that he had an inside track on Acadiana Outreach's plans and did not wait the mandatory two years before getting financially involved in a project financed by the very public agency for which he had just served. Created in 1979, the public trust's original documents note that it is subject to the "Public Contracts Law, Public Records Law, Public Meetings Law, Code of Ethics and the Bond Validation Procedures Law."
And, according to Louisiana Code of Ethics: "No legal entity in which the former public servant is an officer, director, trustee, partner or employee shall, for a period of two years following the termination of the public servant's service, assist another person, for compensation, in a transaction, or in an appearance in connection with a transaction in which the former public servant participated at any time during his public service and which involves the agency with which he was formerly employed or in which he formerly held office."
That restriction involves a broad range of proceedings: application, submission, request for a ruling or other determination, contract, claim, case, or other matters that the public servant or former public servant knows or should know is the subject of action by the governmental entity, or is one to which the governmental entity is or will be a party.
At least two Lafayette residents have filed formal ethics complaints against Gachassin, and his own attorney, former Ethics Board Chief Administrator Gray Sexton, confirmed to the The Independent that an investigation is under way.
Up until this point, Gachassin's potential conflicts of interest appeared limited to Cypress Trails Apartments, an LPTFA project he orchestrated and took over less than a month after his Nov. 17, 2009, resignation as its chair, and Villa Gardens, a single-family residential development partially funded by LPTFA while he was on the board. All three of the aforementioned projects — along with a fourth, Villas at Angel Point — were awarded highly competitive low-income housing tax credits from the Louisiana Housing Finance Agency, another public board Gachassin served on from January 2005 to October 2007.
Records from LHFA indicate that Gachassin's fee on Cypress Trails, Villa Gardens and Villas at Angel Point was a combined $1.5 million. Joie de Vivre has a development fee of $1.9 million, which Gachassin will split with the local public trust he once chaired.

Remnants of an Ancient Kitchen Are Found in China
Fragments of ancient pottery found in southern China turn out to date back 20,000 years, making them the world's oldest known pottery — 2,000 to 3,000 years older than examples found in East Asia and elsewhere.
The ceramics probably consisted of simple concave vessels that were likely used for cooking food, said Ofer Bar-Yosef, an archaeologist at Harvard and an author of the study, which appears in the journal Science.
"What it seems is that in China, the making of pottery started 20,000 years ago and never stopped," he said. "The Chinese kitchen was always based on cooking and steaming; they never made, as in other parts of Asia, breads."
The crockery, found in Xianrendong Cave in Jiangxi Province, belonged to a group of mobile foragers, Dr. Bar-Yosef said. They were a hunting and gathering community; plant cultivation and agriculture probably did not arrive until about 10,000 years later....

Bashing the City won't heal the scars of the riots
Related Articles
Published: 16 August 2011
To continue Ed's point ad absurdum, we have seen it everywhere and in everything we do not like.
Personally, I discern social collapse in people barging me with trolleys in supermarkets and irresponsible Labour politicians who overspent without reforming - but it would be odd to blame the riots of Woolwich, Tottenham and Peckham on them.
Others draw even more punitive parallels than Mr Miliband: what do we expect, they suggest, when bankers still get mega-bonuses after driving the economy over the cliff and rogue tabloid editors are treated as socially desirable at Chipping Norton parties? Even the sportswear companies targeted by the looters, whose favourite apparel is the baggy nylon excrescences of JD Sports, are in the firing line for daring to run profitable businesses.
The view that a great many other miscreants are to blame for what happened in London and elsewhere last week is seductive and widespread, as we sweep up the fractured arguments and piecemeal responses. It is also wrong. Not everything is about everything else. We have quite enough on our plate dealing responsibly with the aftermath of our own social Vesuvius in London without the illusion that it must be the fault of everything that annoys us.
So far this week I have heard Iain Duncan Smith talking a lot of sense about projects that help the dispossessed of Glasgow which should be copied elsewhere. Like David Cameron, though, he was on far flimsier ground when discussing a "moral collapse" into which just about every category of errant behaviour can be shoehorned.
For a start, we rarely agree on who is doing the collapsing. Many still blame the bankers for starting it and want a suitably "moral" punishment meted out for their failures. Really, though, we need bankers to clean up their act, stay in London rather than Zug or Hong Kong, be better regulated - and then continue to make money for the benefit of our tax-take, pensions system and prosperity of
the capital.
Rioters are not the same as bankers. We want them to stop trashing things and to be taught, encouraged and sometimes prodded by a responsive welfare state, to lead lives which are less hopeless. To do that, we should look at many examples from outside Britain, where the public policy debate is limited by narrow-mindedness and a parochial desire not to listen to what others do better. Why not consider what US cities have done to prevent the riots of the Eighties recurring, often alongside better welfare programmes? Or how the Swedes, while ranking as liberal, support stable family structures and are extremely tough on drugs?
What we shouldn't heed is the vindictive cries to help the poor by attacking the well-off, or by claiming that MPs exploiting an expenses scheme provide an excuse for anyone else to behave badly.
Most of us would conclude on the evidence of last week that the last thing those looting shops or committing arson had on their minds was the antics of phone hackers, backbenchers or a critique of short-selling. When one young woman spoke to a reporter about how "the rich" deserved to "have stuff taken away", it was a high-street shopkeeper she meant - her own amenity - not some FTSE-ranked company in a Canary Wharf skyscraper. If the handy language of "greed" becomes synonymous with "anti-business", we will be in a worse place at the end of assessing all this than when we started.
Mr Miliband, who promised to make room for new thinking on the centre-Left, must watch his step and his language here.
But the Coalition is also affected by the tendency to conflate what has gone wrong in riot-affected parts of London with other issues. Several callers on a phone-in I listened to yesterday linked the events of last week to the disparities of wealth in London and the proposed review of the 50p top tax bracket. One said it was an "outrageous thought" in the circumstances.
In the present mood of self-laceration and discontent, George Osborne will find it even more difficult to shift the talismanic tax. The Chancellor clearly doesn't believe the tax raises much revenue - and by the time you take out the motivational disincentive on those near the threshold, he's right. In fairness, he has this "under review" - which is code for saying he could make an argument either way and hasn't decided in which direction to jump.
But at a time when London needs the best incentives to aid recovery politicians do us all a disservice if they succumb to the knee-jerk demands to punish bankers and profit-makers.
Yes, we do all need a moral sense of what is right and wrong and how we can help restore pride and good times to many more people in London. The brave immigrant families who stood up to local thugs and the "broom-armies" who fought back in a defiant clear-up gave us heart that the instinct does exist and that it can help us recover from a week of shame. But we won't get there by lashing out at the wealthy. Nothing good has ever come of that approach. Nothing will this time.

Personalized 'Mama' Ring
Make a ring any stylish mom will love.
Project by Sally Brock from Seattle, Wash.
As a child, Sally's first jewelry creation consisted of watermelon seeds threaded together to make a necklace. She was influenced by her mom, who was always participating in craft fairs. Sally took metalsmithing classes and elevated her jewelry from watermelon seed necklaces to chunky cocktail rings and cool pendants resembling Swiss cheese. Sally's mama ring may be for the parental set, but it shares her hip and funky sensibility and will appeal to young and stylish moms everywhere!
silver sheet
flat bezel wire
metal alphabet stamps (the letter "I")
child's photo
clear quartz stone
extra-hard solder chips
medium solder chips
pickle solution
two-part epoxy resin
ring mandrel
scouring pad
metal jeweler's file
handheld flex shaft
bezel pusher
1. Take a flat sheet of sterling silver and cut into a 1 cm strip.
2. Using a ruler, measure out the hash marks to represent the tape measure increments and stamp them into the silver.
3. Stamp the corresponding numbers along the hatch marks. Be inventive and incorporate the child's birthday into the ring.
4. Mark the inside with personal signature on what will be the inside of the band.
5. Using a ring mandrel, bend the strip into a ring. File the two edges of the band so that they meet.
6. Cut a square sterling sheet.
7. Stamp in little circles in the corner of the sterling silver sheet.
8. Make the bezel from flat bezel wire to fit around a clear quartz stone. Wrap around the stone and cut it where the edges meet.
9. Flux bezel and solder the bezel wire together. Place in pickle.
10. Flux ring band and solder together. Place in pickle.
11. Remove both items from pickle.
12. Flux ring band and stamped silver square and solder the ring band to the stamped silver square.
13. Flux the bezel and solder the bezel to the stamped silver square.
14. Place ring in pickle. Remove and clean. Clean all metal with scouring pad.
15. Mix epoxy resin in pink from a two-part epoxy.
16. Use a syringe to squirt the color onto the stamped images on the ring. Remove excess with paper towel. It takes one hour for epoxy to set up. Cure in the oven on very low heat (200 F degrees). Caution: Heat can set off fumes.
17. Sand the entire piece with a handheld flex shaft.
18. Use a scouring wheel to buff piece to a matte finish.
19. Print a reduced version of the child's photo. Place the ring in a hand vice and pop in the photo.
20. Place the clear quartz stone. Use a bezel pusher to secure the stone in place. Burnish the edges to make the piece watertight.
21. Give the piece a final matte polish.

Rookie starting Aaron Wilson
Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Le'Veon Bell is listed atop the depth chart.
Bell was initially ranked third at the start of training camp. Now, he's listed as a co-starter along with veteran Isaac Redman ahead of Jonathan Dwyer.
The imposing second-round draft pick from Michigan State has made a fast impression on the coaching staff.
"The guys who are calling the shots are confident in me," Bell told Pittsburgh reporters. "It's good motivation. I'm going to keep striving to be the best I can be. I'm going to continue to compete."

Berko: Johnson & Johnson shares still have firepower; Vanguard dividend ETF an income dud
Send this to a friend
- Malcolm Berko
Dear Mr. Berko: Like most investors, I need higher income from my portfolio, which currently yields 3.1 percent. My broker wants me to sell 150 shares of Johnson & Johnson, which I bought in 2005 at $68 and are still $68. He wants me to raise another $15,000 and sell 300 shares of Vanguard Dividend Appreciation Fund, which I bought in June 2008 at $56 and are now $58. He wants to use the proceeds to buy an ING variable annuity, where he says I can withdraw 6 percent annually without penalty. Could I have your opinion? – H.B., Akron
Dear H.B.: It seems that every broker wants to sell us an annuity. I can understand why. The commissions range between 6 percent and 12 percent, the annual fees for management and bookkeeping range from 2.5 percent to 4 percent. And the selling broksters also get a slice of those fees each year, dubbed a trail commission.
Most annuities are painted by your broker to look like peacocks, but after you've owned them for a while they begin to molt and look like sparrows.
Ask that salesman to carefully explain how ING Groep NV (NYSE:ING) – a fine company, by the way – can pay 6 percent a year. Be mindful that your ING annuity must earn 9.25 percent yearly (after subtracting its 3.25 percent annual fees) in order to pay you 6 percent. The only people in this country who earn 9.25 percent a year on their investments are members of Congress, retired members of Congress and members of various state legislatures.
Selling your shares in Johnson & Johnson Inc. (NYSE:JNJ) is a bad idea. Admittedly, the stock price hasn't done diddly, but I'm going to give you a guaranteed maybe that J&J's stock price could be 50 percent higher in the coming four to six years.

Rebekah Gibbs loses battle with cancer
It's with great sadness that we announce that Rebekah Gibbs, who played paramedic Nina Farr for more than 100 episodes of Casualty between 2004 and 2006, has passed away. She was 41.
"We were all so sorry to hear about Rebecca's passing," Casualty's executive producer Oliver Kent told us. "She was a wonderful presence in the Casualty family, both on screen and off, and will be very sorely missed. Our thoughts are with her family at this tragic time. We will be dedicating this weekend's episode to her memory".

Boston Red Sox History
The Boston Red Sox were founded in 1893, as the Toledo, Ohio franchise in the minor Western League. The team moved to Boston when the Western League became the American League in 1900. The name Red Sox, chosen by owner John I. Taylor in 1907, is based on an form of socks, as in the red footwear worn by the team. The Boston Red Sox won the first ever World Series, which began in 1903 and have been known as the Boston Americans (1901), as well as the Boston Somersets (1902). The Red Sox were owned by Joseph Lannin from 1913 to 1916 and it was he who signed Babe Ruth, commonly seen as the best player in baseball history.
Babe Ruth joined the Boston Red Sox in 1914, when he was nineteen years of age. Babe Ruth would later go onto be seen as the best player in baseball history, while playing for the Yankees he became the greatest power hitter the game has ever known. He led the Boston Red Sox to two World Series titles in 1916 and 1918. After selling Babe Ruth "the great Bambino," to the New York Yankees, it is often said that the team went down hill from there and have not been able to win a championship since 1918. Some refer to it as the "Curse of the Bambino," the sale of Babe Ruth, but the real reason has been their historical weakness in pitching, and some poor luck.
Another great player is pitcher Cy Young. Cy Young One of baseball's greatest pitchers, set several major-league career records that still stand, including the most wins, most innings pitched, and most complete games. Young, who played with the Red Sox from 1901 to 1908, won 511 games during his 22-year career. In 1956 Major League Baseball established the Cy Young Memorial Award, which is given annually to each league's best pitcher. The Red Sox are the first team to have back-to-back batting champion and ERA champions in the same years. Nomar Garciaparra and Pedro Martinez pulled the "double-double" in 1999-2000. Some Hall of Famers includes Luis Aparicio, Lou Boudreau, Jesse Burkett, Orlando Cepeda, Jack Chesbro, Jimmy Collins, Joe Cronin, Bobby Doerr, Rick Ferrell, Carlton Fisk and Jimmie Foxx. The Boston Red Sox have won eight World Series Championships (1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918, 2004, 2007 and 2013). They have been American League Champions thirteen times (1903, 1904, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918, 1946, 1967, 1975, 1986, 2004, 2007 and 2013), have won the Division Championships seven times (1975, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1995, 2007 and 2013) and have earned Wild Card seven times (1998, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2008 and 2009).
The Red Sox uniform color consists of red, white, navy Blue and scarlet; the logo design is two hanging red socks. The Boston Red Sox play in Fenway Park (1912- present), which has a seating capacity of 33,871 and is located in Boston, Massachusetts. The Red Sox moved on to the 2004 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, a team that had posted the best record in the major leagues and the team that had defeated the Red Sox in the 1946 and 1967 World Series. Game 1 set a new record for the highest scoring World Series opening game (breaking the previous record set in 1932). The Sox defeated the Cardinals twice in Boston and twice in St. Louis to sweep the World Series, making this their first and last Series win since 1918. In an altogether appropriate end to the "Curse of the Bambino," the final out of the game was made on Cardinals shortstop Edgar Renteria, who wore Babe Ruth's old uniform number, 3.
In 2004, the Boston Red Sox broke their 86 year "curse" of seasons without a World Series Championship. The Red Sox then won another World Series Championship in 2007 and yet another in 2013. Red Sox Nation remains faithful every year and the traditions live on.

Touching: Zainal Abidin Ahmad speaking at the memorial service. -AFP
MELBOURNE: Malaysia's High Commissioner to Australia Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad recited a verse from a chapter of the Quran at the Australian national memorial service here for the 298 people on board Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 who perished on July 17.
The verse, from Chapter 31 (Luqman), reminds that Allah alone has knowledge of any event and that no one could even know if they will benefit from tomorrow or perceive where they will die.
More than 1,800 mourners gathered at St Patrick's Cathedral here yesterday to remember the 38 Australian citizens and permanent residents, including Malaysians, who were killed en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur when the plane was believed to have been shot down over eastern Ukraine.
Mourners, including many who flew in from Kuala Lumpur, shed tears as they placed yellow wattleseed branches on a wreath in honour of the dead.
Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne Denis Hart welcomed the congregation before the Australian Boys Choir sang the national anthem.
"The why of terror, the incredulity and condemnation of the perpetrators gave way to an avalanche of compassion, love and prayer for those so burdened," said Hart.
"You have not been abandoned and you never will be," Prime Minister Tony Abbott told the gathering, which included Malaysian Consul-General Datuk Dr Mohd Rameez Yahaya and MAS manager Terence Swampillai.
Abbott said it was a time to rededicate the nation to supporting the bereaved, obtaining justice for the dead and for their families, and to working for a better world.
Leaders of different faiths addressed the packed cathedral before Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove spoke of the grief, shock, anger, confusion and loss felt across the globe as a result of the disaster.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten said: "We mourn 38 of our own who laughed, learned and loved beneath the Southern Cross that today flies at half-mast around the nation."
Melbourne was chosen for the memorial service because 16 of the 38 Australian citizens and residents killed lived here. — Bernama

Teen sentenced to minimum 20 years in Kent rapes, could face life term
A 16-year-old Kent teen who was convicted of raping two female teenagers on consecutive nights in Kent was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and could face life behind bars.
Seattle Times staff reporter
A 16-year-old boy who was convicted of raping a girl and woman on consecutive nights in Kent in 2011 could spend the rest of his life in prison.
Chrisean Cressel, who was 15 when the attacks occurred, was sentenced last week to a minimum 20 years in prison by a King County Superior Court judge. But he received an indeterminate sentence, so the state's Indeterminate Sentencing Review Board could decide he should face an even longer prison term — including up to life.
"It is extremely rare to see an offender this young become a predatory serial rapist," King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg said in a news release. "The victims of his crimes were courageous throughout the process, and their strength and cooperation ensured that this young man will be incarcerated for at least 20 years, up to life."
Both victims were walking home from their bus stops when Cressel approached them, told them he had a gun and led them to secluded areas, where he raped them, according to charges.
The first victim, a 19-year-old woman, was attacked just before 10 p.m. on Oct. 29, 2011. She had gotten off a bus at 116th Avenue Southeast and Southeast Kent Kangley Road and headed home when she noticed a young male on an orange-and-black BMX bicycle following her. He grabbed her arm as she walked by a shopping center and threatened to shoot her if she refused to go with him.
"She did not see a gun but was terrified," prosecutors said in charging documents.
Cressel made the woman push his bicycle as he gripped her arm, leading her behind a chiropractor's office, where she was raped, court documents say.
Afterward, he walked with her back to the shopping center before riding away on his bike, prosecutors said.
The next night, he targeted a 17-year-old girl who had left a bus around 7:30 p.m. and was walking east on Southeast Kent Kangley Road.
As the girl turned south on 116th Avenue Southeast, she saw a young male walking through an apartment-complex parking lot who circled around and began following her, prosecutors said.
He grabbed her shoulder, shoved what she believed was a gun into her back and pushed her south on 116th Avenue Southeast to the driveway of the complex. He took her around to the back and raped her, court documents said.
Surveillance video taken from nearby businesses as well as reports from witnesses who had seen the teen on his bike in the neighborhood led police to Cressel's nearby home.
One victim identified Cressel from a photo montage, and the state crime lab found his DNA in evidence collected from both victims, according to charging documents.
The teen, who told police he had been expelled from Kentwood High School for fighting, was arrested at the school Nov. 7.
Cressel originally was charged also with two counts of first-degree kidnapping; they were dropped in exchange for his guilty pleas to two counts of first-degree rape.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Olympus Has Fallen: Yippee ki-yay, Mr. President
Cheap 'n' cheesy but effective film puts Die Hard-style action in the political sphere
In 1988, the movie Die Hard pretty much revolutionized the action movie. You could tell because it spawned a host of imitators in the '90s (Under Siege, Passenger 57).
But if you witnessed Bruce Willis's last half-hearted trip to the studio paymaster, A Good Day to Die Hard, you'll know that not even Die Hard movies are appropriating the Die Hard formula any more.
That leaves the field open for this enjoyable cinematic cheese plate, the first of two movies playing on the logline: Die Hard in the White House.
The second one, due in June, is Roland Emmerich's White House Down. To whet our appetite, director Antoine Fuqua serves up his cheaper-but-first entry, a derivative but somewhat satisfying slab o' action cinema.
Helping matters: Gerard Butler in full This-is-Sparta mode as Mike Banning, a Secret Service agent with, natch, past combat experience with Special Forces.
In the opening sequence, Banning is revealed to be both a friend and protector of President Benjamin Asher (Aaron Eckhart), but that doesn't help when Banning must choose favourites and allows the first lady (Ashley Judd) to die in an elaborately staged car accident.
Banning is shunted to a desk job. But a few months after the tragedy, he rises to the occasion when a North Korean terrorist task force launches a co-ordinated attack on Washington and gains access to the White House. The president, the secretary of defence (Melissa Leo), and South Korea's prime minister all find themselves in an underground inner sanctum with the plot's deadly mastermind (Rick Yune, who also played a North Korean baddie in the Bond movie Die Another Day).
Soon, all that stands between a further castration of American might is Banning... oh, and a room full of sub-presidential power players, including the House Speaker (Morgan Freeman), and the Secret Service director (Angela Bassett), whose job is to helplessly watch the terror unfold and say things like: "Oh my God."
Banning proves to be a little more proactive, diminishing the bad guys one by one in the best John McClane style.
The visual effects, especially pertaining to that Washington assault, are a little sloppy and the overall look of the movie is a tad muddy. (One anticipates Emmerich's movie will look much more slick and expensive.)
But Olympus Has Fallen has its old-school charms. It is frankly a relief to see Butler kicking butt, given that his last few movies have been spent in the realm of the drippy drama/insipid rom-com.
Yes, this movie does indulge in a bit of spurious flag-waving of the type we would expect from Michael Bay's Transformer movies. We expect better of Fuqua, whose films usually have a more hard-boiled sensibility (Training Day, Brooklyn's Finest).
But at its nasty core, Olympus Has Fallen is an effective, even gripping action movie, a worthy Die Hard clone that is actually more satisfactory than the last Die Hard movie.
Other voices
Excerpts of select reviews of Olympus Has Fallen:
A North Korean terrorist may be responsible for taking the president hostage, but it's Bulgarian-made CGI that does the most damage in Antoine Fuqua's intense, ugly, White-House-under-siege actioner Olympus Has Fallen. Cut past the pic's superficial patriotism, and the message is ironically clear: Never outsource your visual effects when a domestic shop will do.
-- Peter DeBruge, Variety
Directed by Antoine Fuqua with his usual slam-bang, cutthroat aggression but with almost nothing in the way of surprise or genuine, organic suspense.
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Pretty ridiculously entertaining -- or at least entertainingly ridiculous -- for long stretches, dulled only by the realization that there are many parts of the country where this will play as less than total farce.
-- Scott Foundas, Village Voice
The film spends its first act establishing a flimsy emotional groundwork before gleefully taking a sledgehammer to it just seconds into Act 2.
-- Calum Marsh, Slant Magazine

What? The Children's Minister says that millions of Britons must be placed on a Big Brother style child protection database to prevent the risk of horrific murders such as in Soham in 2002.
Parents could face fines of £5,000 for driving the children of their friends to a sports event or a Sunday school meeting (dangerous) if they have not first been vetted by the Government. Some 11.3 million, one adult in four, could come under the eye of the Independent Safeguarding Authority from next month. Every person who comes into regular contact with children, in any way at all, must be approved by government officials who have checked their criminal convictions.
Quite right. It isn't the one quarter of adults who have been checked that worry me: it is the three-quarters who are not being checked. When driving their cars they are going to be passing children in cars, regardless of whether or not they have children in their own car. Carefree adults are walking the streets of our country, and could bump into a child, or even be overheard talking by one. It is potentially extremely dangerous. Surely the Government has not gone nearly far enough.
I would propose ensuring that every single adult is positively vetted in a process lasting perhaps two years to ensure that no one falls through the net. All parents have to be included, and until they are, their children must be taken away and placed somewhere safe. Prisons have lots of spare capacity, so they would make a safe place to put children, pending their parents' successful screening.
We have heard pathetic utterances from Philip Pullman and other famous writers and illustrators like Anthony Horowitz, Michael Morpurgo and Quentin Blake, who are so irate at being forced to register with the Government's database before they enter schools that they are now saying they will never visit them. Pathetic. Pullman called the scheme "corrosive and poisonous to every kind of healthy social interaction". He protested: "I've been going into schools as an author for 20 years and on no occasion have I ever been alone with a child. The idea that I have become more of a threat and I need to be vetted is both ludicrous and insulting... it teaches children that they should regard every adult as a potential murder or rapist."
Quite right and good riddance. But why stop with these dangerous mavericks? Let's ban their books and illustrations from school libraries too. They contain positively obscene ideas about make-believe animals and horses involved in strange practices.
I jest of course, and lest anyone is thinking that I, as a headmaster, take the subject lightly, let me say at once that I do not. We undertake meticulous checks of all adults who encounter young children at my school. Some evil people do prey on children and want to exploit and abuse them. Sometimes it has even been priests who have behaved in this way, actions made all the more shameful by the reluctance of the church to investigate the instances candidly and fully. Sexual and physical abuse can scar the young for life, as well as engendering in them the same vile propensities.
Children absolutely have to be protected, and any society or school that does not do this to the very best of their ability should sacrifice its guardianship of the young. It is simply a question of balance, and we are rapidly losing it. For every sick and bad person, like school caretaker Ian Huntley in Soham, and every pathetic and rotten parent and guardian such as those who were looking after Baby Peter, and for every sad pervert getting a thrill from looking at children's images on their steamed-up computer screens or interfering with children in public toilets, there are hundreds of thousands of healthy and affirming adults without whose physical presence, contact and love children will never learn to blossom into well-adjusted adults. The insanity of the whole approach is that we introduce fear and suspicion into what should be normal and spontaneous interactions between children and adults, to their mutual loss.
This is not just a British phenomenon. Countries across the world have seen similar intrusions by the state into the lives of individuals and family. Loss of trust, and fear of disaster and public humiliation, are the common factors driving government diktat. We have lost trust for a whole variety of reasons: crime and the fear of crime, decline of communities and opportunities for belonging, the break-up of the traditional family, the media making us believe that the horrific is the norm, and the frantic pace and scale of modern life, where we all too often lack the time and space to get to know each other. Trust and relationships take time to form: you cannot do them in a fast food way.
So what is to be done to rebuild sanity in society? Subjecting everyone in sight to checks, placing surveillance cameras everywhere, subjecting every institution to intimidating inspections, hemming in all relationships with contract and law, and driving everyone mad with bureaucracy is categorically not the way forward. Neither does it make any sense to weigh schools down with a crushing weight of regulation, while at the same time denying heads the chance to run their schools in the way that they want, teachers to teach the material they think best, and students to have the freedom to learn as they wish. No one is trusted any more. Not even the Government, who driven by fear has been so responsible for sucking the lifeblood and humanity out of schools as in so many other institutions.
The only way forward is to build trust from the ground up. In schools, children have to be brought up in an environment where they learn that trust is the norm, and that they themselves must behave in trustworthy ways. They should be brought up in an environment in which the default position is not suspicion and fear, but a "presumption of trust". Certainly, they must be taught about the perils of blind trust: there are bad people out there, as there are bad governments, but making parents who drive other children in their car submit to checks is an example of bad governing.

Disagree. I hate how the promotions use something that is completely irrelevant to build up a fight. Nobotty in that division has been able to neutralize GSP's wrestling. And with GSP's size difference over Hendricks, chances are slim.

UFC 167: St-Pierre vs. Hendricks Extended PPV Preview
UFC 167 will go down on November 16th in Las Vegas, celebrating 20 years of since the promotion's inception. It seems fitting that the UFC's marquee champion Georges St-Pierre should defend his title in the main event. Heavy hitting title challenger Johny Hendricks will look to dethrone the longtime Welterweight king after running through the 170lb. division.
The co-main for the evening is a Light-Heavyweight scrap between Chael Sonnen and Rashad Evans, a bout that pits two high level wrestlers against one another. Will Sonnen be able to make it two ex-champions on the bounce, or will Suga make a statement for his next title shot by smashing the Oregonian gangster?
Check out the UFC 167 extended PPV preview, courtesy of UFC.com, and stay tuned to Lowkick!
