Nicklas Bendtner set to sign for AC Milan !?
- Updated: 24/07/2012
AC Milan leaders have begun talks with Arsenal regarding the transfer of Dutch Danish striker Nicklas Bendtner, who returned from loan (Sunderland), but he is not in the plans of Arsene Wenger and he was told that he can leave the club.
Wearing the jersey of Sunderland last season,Bendtner has played 31 games and was scorer of eight goals, but because of numerous problems off the field Bendtner has fallen into disfavor of manager Martin O'Neill, which is why he abandoned the idea of signing the Dutch striker after the loan end.
Arsenal also want to get rid of the 24-year old Dane, in order to get money to bring other players, but finding an appropriate buyer for Bendtner has proved to be a difficult task, since already failed negotiations with Malaga and Benfica.
However, in the "game" AC Milan got involved, who began negotiations over the weekend with the Gunners about transfer that should be worth about ten million.
Because of this bid,Wenger has omitted Bendtner from the list of passengers for the pre-season tour in Asia, and hopes that he will be sold before Gunners return from the tour in early August.
Milan wants to resolve this transfer as possible,but only by their appropriate price.
It is believed that for Nicklas Bendtner is interested and Turkish Fenerbahce, but still no official offer came from that club.

Commissioner reveals details of Reserve Division
San Jose Earthquakes striker Chris Wondolowski has been voted to the 2010 MLS Best XI.
NEW YORK – MLS Commissioner Don Garber on Tuesday announced details of the relaunch of the MLS Reserve Division for the 2011 season.
Capital Construction: DC alums offer cautionary tale
WASHINGTON — With their team's once-routine participation in the
postseason now stalled for three years running, many D.C. United fans have
watched with interest as a number of their club's former players occupy center
stage in the 2010 MLS Cup playoffs.
Nearly all of this year's qualifiers have United alums on
their rosters but few have made a bigger impression than San Jose Earthquakes winger Bobby
Convey. One of the league's original teenage prodigies, Convey was the youngest
player in MLS history when he joined DC a decade ago.
Donovan, Ferreira lead MLS Best XI
NEW YORK — The LA Galaxy, who had the best record in Major League Soccer, unsurprisingly dominate the MLS Best XI announced by the league on Tuesday afternoon.
The Supporters' Shield winners boast four players—winger Landon Donovan, center back Omar Gonzalez, striker Edson Buddle, and MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Donovan Ricketts—on the list of the top 11 players, as voted by the media and their peers.
Donovan and Toronto FC midfielder Dwayne De Rosario are the only players on the list who have ever been named to the Best XI before.
Commissioner Garber set for State of the League teleconference
As part of the run up to MLS Cup 2010, MLS Commissioner Don Garber is set to conduct his annual "State of the League" teleconference call on Tuesday, November 16, at 1:30 pm ET.
Garber will take questions from media members and announce competition-related rule changes, such as the change to the home-grown player rule that Todd Durbin, executive vice-president of competition, labor and player relations for MLS, explained on Monday's edition of ExtraTime Radio podcast.
Zakuani, Bunbury among 25 MLSers called up
25 MLS players have been called up to international duty in this week's FIFA fixture date, though two will not report for their countries.
MLS Rookie of the Year Andy Najar declined an invitation from the Honduran national team, while New England Revolution and Gambia winger Kenny Mansally will not travel to Hebron due to a cancellation of the The Scorpions scheduled match against Palestine.
D.C. United, Allsopp part ways after one season
D.C. United's Danny Allsopp (left) battles with Colorado's Drew Moor during the teams' matchup on May 15.
D.C. United announced Monday they have parted ways with forward Danny Allsopp after the Australian forward scored five goals in 23 league appearances with the club during his only season in Washington.
The club and Allsopp mutually agreed to terminate the forward's contract. Allsopp made 18 starts for D.C. United and tied rookie Andy Najar for the team lead in goals, including three-game winning goals.
"We would like to thank Danny for his contributions to D.C. United and we wish him well in the future," said United general manager Dave Kasper in a statement.
Moreno "still thinking about playing"
Jaime Moreno said he would have liked to stay at D.C. United for one more season.
The sparkling playing career of Jaime Moreno might not be over even though his life as a coach is about to begin.
Thomas Rongen invited the former D.C. United star, who earned his USSF "B" coaching license in 1997, to assist at the American's U-20 training camp before the Torneo de Las Americas in late November.
The 36 year old was quick to tell MLSsoccer.com that it's "just for the week" and that he doesn't want or expect the stint to turn into a full-time gig, but he's excited to help out his former manager.
United postseason training sessions helping James
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Many players find it difficult to get
excited about the postseason practices currently being conducted by D.C. United
and several other MLS sides not involved in the playoffs.
But these 'lame-duck' training sessions have real value for
Julius James and other Caribbean internationals who are still participating in
important matches for their countries. James is one of several MLS players
involved in the Digicel Caribbean Cup, the regional competition whose top four
finishers earn berths in next summer's CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Commentary: Bradley's roster choices brilliant
When the United States Soccer Federation announced the national team would play a meaningless, midweek match in South Africa, questions arose as to who would make the 10,000-plus mile trek.
The travel would be hard on players getting playing time on clubs in Europe, and four Major League Soccer teams would still be challenging for MLS Cup. Those restrictions ruled out virtually the entire American starting lineup.
So what did Bradley do? He took chances. He went for youth and potential. Just as he should have.
D.C. United take cautious approach to Wallace rehab
D.C. United's Rodney Wallace chases down a loose ball on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
WASHINGTON – D.C. United's
expectations for Rodney Wallace this season could be measured by the sheer size
of the banner that bore his likeness on the east side of RFK Stadium, one of
several massive promotional signs nearly as tall as the building itself that
stared down at passing cars on East Capitol Street.
But his season lasted less than
1,000 minutes, thanks to a broken leg sustained against Real Salt Lake on June
5 and a rehabilitation setback two months later that kept him from
playing again in 2010.

Bush had iraq as an excuse and obama is now latching on to b\'lore as an excuse to consolidate his position as president. the finance of the world is in shambles and it is not going to improve for another 2 or 3 yrs. obama is not a magician to set things right. the financial mess is going to take time to clear up but till then he has to do something to show his country that all the tough talking he did regarding outsourcing and giving more jobs to the locals than to outsiders like indians was not hogwash but that he really meant it. right now this is the safest thing he can do.Answered by savithri kalidhas, 06 May '09 05:27 pm

There is no question of fair or unfair on obama.Obama may not have magic wand to mend the ills of his Country in short span of time.But he shoul have sound economic policy to revive and create employment by finding out the loope holes. without harming the present structure &policies.Let America competite with India. Let America have good check &balance on its corporate giants and financial institution.Instead,the present action will have adverse effect on its economy.Answered by anantharaman, 06 May '09 09:21 pm
No.actually he plans to take up a job in bangalore after retirement.Answered by prabir sanyal, 06 May '09 05:53 pm
YES, BY WITHDRAWING TAX SOPS TO OUTSOURCING FIRMS he only resorted to a very backward move to weaken the corporate profitability of the American corporates and make them inviable and at the same time to excess spend in their own country, by attracting talents from INDIA instead of outsourcing directly from INDIAN companies ,mostly located in Bangalore,in a cost effective way . This policy of OBAMA is like building strength in one hand and losing the strength in the other hand.. I hope the U s corporates bring him to senses soon having already realized teir advantages from outsourcing from India ,which is 10 times cheaper for them for viable operations.Answered by venkatesaldevarajan, 06 May '09 05:42 pm
No, As thePresident of USA he has the right to look after the interests of his country , and it is true that Bangalore has been drawing a lot of money from USA, which would have remained there had the Americans got the job, or if they were able to handle the job withot depending on Indians./Answered by Aditya Misra, 06 May '09 05:31 pm

As explained in detail, with many examples on an earlier occasion,(50)the writer has no doubt that such a relation exists in many countries. Further affirmative views, based on facts, have been expressed by Fraser, Giulia, Rosies Orozco and Martinez, Gomez ,as well as by Warnock, as mentioned in the last chapter.
Recently, M. J. Pescor of the United States Public Health Service, recognized for his investigations on drug addiction, referred in a short review to the "consideral controversy about the effects of marihuana". Whereas, in general, investigators in the United States of America regard marihuana smoking an a relatively innocuous vice, he adds that "it releases inhibitions which may account fofr the commission of crimes or the development of mental disturbahces in certain pre—disposed Individuals". This statement, which in the opinion of the writer is correct, seems to contradict seriously those who "are inclined to minimize the importance of smoking marihuana".
Pescor adds, however, that many law enforcement officers (also in the USA, the writer believes) and scientific investigators, principally from countries other than the USA, "are fully convinced that the use of marihuana is an evil practice dangerous to the individual as well as society. At least it deprives the individual of good judgment, leading him to commit various antisocial acts. At the worst it drives him to orgiastic sexuality, brutal assault, murder, and eventual insanity".
Pescor also indicates the following factors which perhaps may account for the differences of opinion: cannabis in the States is generally not as potent as that .obtained in other parts of the world; addicts in the USA smoke it diluted with a considerable amount of air, which would mean a very small dosage compared to that when it is eaten or drunk (infusions); experimental studies in the USA have been made in a controlled institutional environment where the subjects are not exposed to the same type of stimuli as in their natural environment. This viewpoint thus confirme that expressed previously.(55). He adds further that in the USA the prolonged use of marihua among addicts is exceptional; in the majority of instances, in some parts of the country, it serves as the introductory step to heroin or morphine addict particularly in the case of juveniles. Pescor concludes that there is every reason for not condoning its use, if on no other grounds than its tendency to lure its victims into more serious types of addiction.
Other authors from different countries and continents confirm the above viewpoint.Gardikas, Head of the Greek Criminal Services, made a thorough study of the relations between hashish and crime Which he communicated to the International Congress of CriMinology, Paris, 1950. He insists that crimes can be committed whether hashish ia taken only once, or habitually. The smoker thinks he is capable of anything and everything, no task would be too great, no problem too difficult", and there is also a propensity to create imaginary ideas of persecution (paranedac)u. He refers, for instance, to a case judged at Piraeus where five persons werewounded. They believe that pedestrians in the street laugh at them or are seeking to harm them. Thus the state of intoxication by hashish leads to acts of violence, but also the chronic abuse of hashish leads to the committing of crimes, transforming the personality of an individual and making him lazy, unstable (with consequent vagrancy and theft)) contentious, excitable, suspicious cowardly and fearful. As a result of this cowardice, a fear of being attacked is created; leading to illegal carrying of arms, and assault. The hashish habit leads to crime by another route also, since chronic Ouse of the drug not-only alters the character but also results in serious psychoses of a special nature, viz., incidental states of mental confusion, chronic and prolonged psychosis due to hashish, showing various perplexing psychopathologic symptoms."
The Greek Criminal Service examined from 1919 to 1950, 379 individuals either sentenced or arrested in flurante delicto, for using hashish publicly, namely accidental or habitual hashish takers.. These 379 hashish smokert were divided into, three categories, viz.,
Category A 117 individuals who had neither been sentenced nor arrested for criminal activities prior to their sentence or their arrest for the use of hashish and wino, after they became hashish smokers were repeatedly sentenced for committing crimes, probably mainly due to the use of hashish. 38 of them (32.5%) totalled 322 sentences including - apart from 142 convictions for the use or possession of hashish - 25 for wounds, 38 for illegal assault or attack with firearms, 9 for murder or manslaughter, actual or attempted, etc. Anothar group of 46,(39.3%) became habitual hashish smokers and habitual criminals, with a strong tendency towards violent crime, particularly assault, but also theft; fraud, etc. A third group of 33 (28.2%) had a propensity for crimes of dishonesty, particularly theft and fraud. About half of the persons belonging to Category L. were characterized as dangerous vagrants. The 117 individuals of this category received in all 1191 sentences.
Category B 53 indiViduals who had neither been sentenced nor arrested for criminal activities, prior to their conviction for using hashish and who, after they had acquired the habit, were either repeatedly sentenced or arrested for using the drug, for hashish smuggling, or for vagrancy, but not for crimes of any other type, in all 173 sentences.
Category C 209 individuals who were already criminals prior to starting to use hashish, i.e. who had been either sentenced or arrested for various crimes and who war. sentenced or arrested later on for intoxication through hashish. In 75 of those cases their former criminality was intensified three or four-fold after the acquisition of the hashish habit, narticularly as regards violence and vagrancy as well as the illegal carrying of arms. These 75 persons, before using hashish, totalled 294 convictions (dishonesty, theft,,etc," violence, illegal carrying of arms, vagrancy); after they had made use of hashish they received 1180 sentences. Of these, 401 were for crimes of dishonesty, 154 for violence, 53 for illegal carrying of arms, 139 for vagrancy, 340 for the use or possession of narcotics. In 22 of this group, the original strong tendency towards criminality undoulptedly underwent a deviation towards violence and vagrancy. No particular relation to sex offences was observed: Although in the above study it is not easy to decide to what exter4 thew criminal tendencies were due to constitutional mental inferiority, which even without the use of hashish may lead to crime, it is an important contribution which again. show backed by relatively extensive statistics, the criminogenic influence of the cannabis resin.
In the South African enquiry(43)it is stated that mapy witnesses omphasized dag--a-smoking as a cause of crime, because it breaks down normal inhibitions, and thal it was actually used by criminals before embarking on crime in order to stimulate courage; Also that it excited animal passion. Nhen the individual constitutions . shows anti-social tendencies or aggressiveness, these qualities are accentuated by th drug and may result in crimes, generally crimes of violence." Washington Llorens, government chemist at San Juan (Puerto Rico), stated that cannabis apparently brings to the surface of the subconscious, vices and tendencies which have been submerged by education and environment, or, in other words, "it unleashes the wild beast which is in all of us'.
On another occasion (quoted by Jardines Carrirm) he said that the marihuana vice is not restricted to the lower social groups and to people connected with depravity and crime, but extends to All social classes; he insists that with its extension "increase also assaults, crimes, robbery, violent acts without evident causes". "For the police of the island the problem has two aspects of great importance: its close relation with crime, and likewise its close connexion with the violation of street traffic rules and accidents."
In 1951, Esquivel Medina and GonAlez (of Yucatgn, Mexico) repeated their statement of 1938: The action of marihuana in considerably strenthening the particular inclinations of the individual, explains criminal acts, such as the horrifying murders committed by them. The visual hallucinations which it produces lead marihuana smokers to defend themselves against imaginary enemies and therefore to become aggressive.
As a result of information gathered from more than a hundred prisoners, Parreiras is convinced that maconha is a frequent factor in the genesis and development of crime in Brazil, particularly in the north—eastern r egions. "Maconha is, in fact, a criminogenic factor." Because it destroys self—control, man shows his true nature, which is an aggressive one. Under the influence of cannabis, the danger of committinF unpremeditated murder is very great; it can happen in cold blood, without any reason or motive, unexpectedly, without any preceding quarrel; often the murderer does not even know the victim, and kills simply for pleasure.
Parreiras refers to a case in Sergipe, of a man who, under the effect of cannabis, killed his companion and went to his funeral as if nothing had happened.
Eleyson Cardoso mentions the case of a soldier in the State of Part (Brazil) whose conduct had been good but who, after smoking maconha for the first time, entered the house of his captain, in a state of furious delirium, armed with a knife, and tried to kill him, wounding another person in the process.Clippings from newsnapers from aouth emerican countries which suffer particularly from the consequences of marihuana abuse, and which the writer has been collecting far years, relate time and again the most violent crimes committed under the influence of the drug. Even admitting the somewhat sensational character of some of these reporte their repetition, as well as police statements, show that there must be much truth in them. It would be easy to draw up long lists of abominable crimes carried out under the influence of cannabis.
Four youths, the youngest 16 years old, robbed and murdered a filling station attendant. The defence admitted that they were so strongly under the influence of marihuana that they did not know what they were doing. The jury refused to accept this as a defence and found them all guilty of murder in the first degree.(46)
A. series of atrocious cases is Aentioned in the impertant book recently published by H. J. Anslinger and W. F. Tompkins, "a few of many cases ... which illustrate the homicidal tendencies and the generally debasing effects arising from the use of marihuana"; for instance, a bellboy shot a federal guard, who was unknown to him, working in another building, not rememtering later what he did; the officers of a merchant vessel were under continuous danger of being attacked by members of the crew using marihuana; murder of a man of 74 years, unknown to the murderer; a cotton-picker of 25 years of age drank, then smoked a "reefer", picked up a 17 months old baby girl which had been left in the family car, violated and suffocated her; "the real criminel in this case is marihuana", said the murderer's awn counsel.
In their very careful study Maurer and Vogel also come to the conclusion that "crimes committed by opiate addicts are likely to be non-violent crimes against property committed by addicts in need of their drug; crimes committed by marihuana users are likely to be committed while under the intoxicating influence of the drue. And further, "marihuana is a potent dis inhibitor which may, by breaking down inhibitions, release the psychopathic personality for criminel Acts; its position as a dix cause of crime is not as yet Dilly evaluated, but it can be dangerous". Dr Vogel was for many years the Medical Officer in charge of the US Public Health Service Hospital in Lexington (Kentucky) for the treatment of drug addicts.In the above book the present writer is referred to as being "most emphatic" in stating that cannabis can provoke extremely dangerous outbursts of violence. He certainly agrees that this is his opinion end would be glad to know what other proof is demanded by those authors who do not yet believe in this classification of cannabis.
In North Africa and the Middle East, however, the situation seems to be different. Bouquet (Tunis) who has a special knowledge of the conditions in North Africa, stated in his review of the effects, that there were certainly a largo number of petty and also more serious offenders among cannabis addicts, "but very rarely persons guilty of more serious crimes, such as attempted murder".(5) The reason for this difference may be attributed to constituticnel and racial factors,- as explained elsewhere in this study.
Although not connected with violence, the following case illustrates well the psychological effect and danger of marihuana cigarettes used in order to commit a robbery. According to J. Ortiz Velâzquez, Professor of Forensic Medicine at the University of Antioquia (Colombia)(36)(58)somebody gave a cigarette to the owner of a combine cafe and provision shop. After having smoked the cigarette containing cannabis (a fact he did not know), the shop—owner, under the influence of the drug and in a "state of fantasy or semi—consciousness"" sold the contents of his shop' in the presence of witnesses for 800 pesos, i.e., for next to nothing, to the person who had given him the cigarette. All the merchandise was immediately removed from the shop which was left completely empty. The next day, the grocer accused the buyer" of swindling him.
Another example: In Pernambuco (Brazil), a woman, a great maconha smoker, explained to Parreiras how this plant is used for robbery. When ships arrive, the sailors are enticed to a certain 'ear where their usual "aromatic" pipe tobacco is a dire replaced by maconha. --When they have smoked a little and had some drink, they return on board, with hallucinations and in a delirious state, after having been robbed beforehand of their wallets and other possessions.

Prep football: Big second half puts Estero over Palmetto Ridge, back in playoffs
With a fast-paced finish to Friday's district battle, Estero High School showed it's getting closer to the football stronghold it once was and farther from the doormat it used to be.
The Wildcats dominated the second half and beat Palmetto Ridge 41-21 on the road. With the win, Estero finishes runner-up in Class 6A-District 13 and qualifies for the regional playoffs.
Three years ago, the Wildcats had lost 53 times in 57 games. Now Estero has made back-to-back postseason appearances, something it hasn't done since it went to the regional finals four straight years from 1998-2001. The Wildcats will play at Palm Bay-Heritage on Nov. 15.
"It's amazing," senior Ryan Keegan said. "We come to practice and bust our butts every second of every day, and it paid off."
After going 8-3 last year, its first winning season in a decade, Estero (4-5, 2-2 in 6A-13) fought through adversity to get back into the postseason.
The Wildcats lost their coach when Rich Dombroski left for Immokalee. They started the year without their top offensive threat, South Florida recruit Nick Nataro. At one point this season Estero was 2-4, including losses of 69 and 50 points, and its only victories were against winless teams.
But with two straight district victories, including an emotional win over Barron Collier two weeks ago, the Wildcats are on top again.
"We're a roller coaster," first-year coach Mark Jackson said. "We didn't play every game the way we wanted to this year, but we get to play another one, and that's important for our seniors."
It was a bittersweet victory for Estero. The Wildcats lost starting quarterback Cody Long after he injured his arm midway through the third quarter. Jackson said Long broke his arm and is out for the season.
Without Long and his 1,500 passing yards, Estero went from a spread attack to a conservative ground game. Keegan took over at quarterback and ran a single-wing attack.
The Wildcats did not attempt a pass after Long left the game. The junior starter completed 21 of 32 passes for 216 yards.
Palmetto Ridge (5-4, 2-2) also has been on an up-and-down ride this season, and Friday's loss was a low point.
The Bears started the season 5-1, the best six-game start in the program's 10-year history. Palmetto Ridge was rolling toward its second playoff berth and first since 2006.
With the loss, the Bears will have to wait another year to get back to the postseason. They'll also have to wait until next week at Golden Gate to try to secure the team's third winning season.
"When you get this opportunity to play for a playoff spot, we have to do our job," Palmetto Ridge coach Ryan Mitchell said. "We did not do that tonight. It hurts. It's going to take me about two days to get over this one."
In the second year under Mitchell, the Bears showed progress. Palmetto Ridge went 1-9 in 2012 before coming a quarter-and-a-half away from the playoffs this season.
The Bears led 21-14 after Ron Johnson, playing in his final home game, scored his third touchdown with 9:36 left in the third quarter. Estero scored four straight touchdowns, three on rushes by Zimon Brennan, to pull away, and the Wildcats picked off four Bears passes.
"We came out fighting," said Brennan, a transfer from Gulf Coast this season who led Estero with 64 yards Friday. "We wanted it more than they did."
Johnson ran for 97 yards to break the 1,000-yard plateau for the season. He also completed a 57-yard halfback pass. The rest of Palmetto Ridge's team accounted for 46 yards of offense.
First quarter
E — Nataro 25 pass from Katona (Wilson kick), 10:35
PR — Johnson 11 run (Griffin kick), 9:28
E — Nataro 14 pass from Long (Wilson kick), 0:41
Second quarter
PR — Johnson 3 run (Griffin kick), 1:32
Third quarter
PR — Johnson 14 run (Griffin kick), 9:36
E — Brennan 3 run (Wilson kick), 6:46
E — Keegan 7 run (Wilson kick), 5:20
Fourth quarter
E — Brennan 7 run (Wilson kick), 10:00
E — Brennan 8 run (run failed), 1:14

Jason Momoa Talks 'Aquaman' Plans, Confirms 'Justice League' Appearance – Hollywood Reporter
"I don't know the director [of the 2018 Aquaman solo movie]. I know about as much as you guys know," the actor said during an appearance at the Walker Stalker Con in Atlanta. "I know the Justice League will come first. That's really what we're going to focus on."
Read more The Many Faces of DC's Aquaman
Momoa went on to say that he wasn't sure if the solo movie "will be [set] prior to Justice League or post. I don't know too much about it. It will probably be where he came from. It will probably be his whole origin story, I would think." Underscoring the in-process nature of the process, Momoa responded to a question about a possible Aquaman romance by saying "I don't think there will be a romance any time soon in Justice League. I think we're going to be kicking some ass. But I don't know for sure, because there's no script yet."
The actor did manage to explain why he'd denied being connected to the role prior to Warners' announcement last week. "LYou know, you audition and stuff like that, but the fact is you've just got to keep it quiet," he said. "You know what I mean, I was just trying to respect Warner Bros. and everyone's wishes. I'm really, really happy that I don't have to be quiet anymore, because that's really hard for me."
Justice League Part One is scheduled for release Summer 2017.

What does J.K. Rowling do with all her hundreds of millions of dollars? Build real-life structures straight out of her Harry Potter books of course.The Telegraph reported on Thursday that the famed writer has submitted plans to build a stone-built summer house on the grounds of her Scottish estate, and the plans for the building bear a rather striking similarity to Hagrid's hut from the Harry Potter universe.Hagrid, played by Robbie Coltrane, is a teacher and gamekeeper in the Harry Potter series. Like Hagrid's hut, Rowling's planned version will also be built on the edge of a forest that is part of her 162-acre estate, that also includes a small loch, or lake.Rowling's Scottish estate is not far from Castle Menzies, which many have likened to Hogwarts.Read more J.K.

David Fincher's Gone Girl has raced past the $200 million mark at the global box office, where it will soon overtake the filmmaker's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ($232.6 million) and The Social Network ($224.9 million).Gone Girl, starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike, even has a shot at approaching $300 million worldwide, although that won't be enough to match The Curious Case of Benjamin Button ($333 million) or Seven ($327.3 million), which rank as Fincher's top-grossing movies, respectively, not accounting for inflation.Read more David Fincher Cast Ben Affleck in 'Gone Girl' After Googling His SmileFor the weekend, Gone Girl took in $20.2 million from 58 markets overseas for a foreign total of $94.7 million for a global total of $201.6 million. While the 20th Century Fox and New Regency film is doing best in Europe — the U.K. leads overall with $23.2 million — it has surprised in many Asian markets.New Line and Warner Bros.' horror prequel Annabelle likewise remains a strong global player, finishing Sunday with an impressive $166.1 million in total ticket sales, including $95 million overseas. Annabelle, costing just $6.5 million to make, earned another $19.2 million internationally for the weekend.Still, it was neither of those films, nor Dracula Untold, that topped the weekend box office chart offshore. Instead, the crown went to Disney's Guardians of the Galaxy. The quirky superhero tentpole, still playing in China and a smattering of other territories, took in $23.1 million to jump the $400 million mark internationally for a worldwide total of $732.6 million.Read more 'Annabelle' Director John Leonetti Talks About Shooting on a Haunted SetBetter yet, Guardians became No. 3 Marvel title of all time behind The Avengers ($1.5 billion) and Iron Man 3 ($1.2 billion).Universal and Legendary's origins pic Dracula Untold came in No. 2 overseas, earning $22.5 million from 58 markets for a foreign total of $95.7 million, more than double its early North American take of 40.7 million (Dracula Untold fell 58 percent in its second weekend domestically). Its global cume is $136.4 million.Thanks to a late rollout in Europe, Paramount's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles came in No. 4 internationally behind Guardians, Dracula Untold and Gone Girl (Annabelle rounded out the top five). TMNT took in a hearty $20 million from 33 territories for a foreign total of $185.4 million and global haul of $375 million.

Crime and punishment have long occupied David Fincher. With varying degrees of scalpel-sharp precision and gruesome indulgence, in films ranging from Se7en to Panic Room to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, he's trafficked in dark and pulpy fare. His masterpiece, Zodiac, turns an unsolved real-life crime story into an existential inquiry into truth and obsession. It's a movie that deepens with every viewing. In comparison, there's little reason to revisit his latest feature; once the missing-person mystery has delivered its jolts, Gone Girl is a closed circuit of a story.And yet the think-piece culture won't leave it alone, plumbing the postmodern whodunit for discussions of gender politics, the power dynamics of heterosexual marriage and, in an incisive left-field thesis, the rising distrust of evidence among so-called truthers. The box-office topper, arriving two years after the source novel by Gillian Flynn, clearly hits a zeitgeist nerve. But while it touches on a number of thorny issues, including the downward-spiraling economy, its main draw is that of a juicy premise that's more than a little bonkers and, for the most part, solidly told. It's a well-crafted piece of entertainment dressed up as social commentary.Flynn's page-turner, with its fluent prose and audacious plotting, undeniably has something to say about the war between the sexes and the roles that both women and men still conform to — notably in its clear-eyed explication of the Cool Girl phenomenon. This much-commented-on passage of the book (excerpted in the film) zeroes in on the ways that female compliance has morphed but hardly disappeared: The Cool Girl likes everything that straight men supposedly like (sports, beer and more), never gets angry or complains and above all is sexually available and "hot" by male standards. And it's all an act, as phony as the 1950s Happy Homemaker.The main character's pathology increasingly eclipses such sharp observations and the story's more subtle shadings, though, and the book's social critique grows muddled. That's even more true of the movie. And neither would draw such ardent op-ed dissection if the maniacal protagonist weren't a woman. Female villains are still, somehow, stop-the-presses material. People insist that they stand for something beyond their individual villainy.Read more 'Gone Girl' Trumps Flood of New Films with $26.8M FinishAs conceived by Fincher and Flynn (who adapted her novel for the screen), and as played by Rosamund Pike, Amy Elliott Dunne, the mastermind of the story, is a Hitchcock blonde with agency, updated from resourceful victim to master manipulator. She's supersmart, ultra-narcissistic and emotionally unhinged, and she's no more representative of womanhood than Kim Novak in Vertigo or Tippi Hedren in Marnie.Even so, Amy and her golden-boy-turned-pariah husband, Nick (Ben Affleck), are ultimately arguments more than people. As a rage-fueled sociopath with an extravagant zeal for destruction, she's a direct descendant of Gene Tierney's character in Leave Her to Heaven, but only half the woman — less a full-blooded person than a fascinating construct.It's worth noting that in a procedural with not one but two unreliable narrators, the most grounded and compelling characters are single women: Nick's sister, Margo (Carrie Coon), and the detective (Kim Dickens) who leads the investigation into Amy's disappearance. Refreshingly, neither woman's unpaired state is treated as a problem in need of remedy — but then again, that would distract from the central notion of marriage as a terminal disorder.With its stylized, icy approach and late-in-the-proceedings burst of Grand Guignol, Fincher's film isn't particularly interested in the "Cool Girl" thesis (which he presents in a way that undermines its meaning). His main concern is Amy's brilliantly perverse reverse-engineering of a crime and the mutability of truth: the idea of a "perfect story" versus what really happened. The glances at the media circus that surrounds Nick are hardly fresh, but they supply the movie's strongest through-line.Read more 'Gone Girl': Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike on Spousal Deceit and "Becoming Batman" on SetIn one of the latest posts to hit the blogosphere on the meaning of Gone Girl, Vulture contributor Adam Sternbergh argues convincingly that the film taps into the paranoia of a certain subset of conspiracy theorists. Whether the topic is the JFK assassination, the moon landing or the attack on the Boston Marathon, many skeptics assert that the official story isn't just incomplete, but a carefully plotted lie, complete with fictitious film footage. Indeed, the most chilling aspect of Gone Girl is the perfect fit between Amy's insanely elaborate planning — her false clues and bogus documentation — and the media's role in spreading her lies. Journalists' hunger for eyeball-grabbing, click-generating headlines feeds off the public's need for that perfect story.Gone Girl riffs on those domestic drama memes that crime-story consumers and writers have come to expect: the victimized wife, the cheating husband. Mainly, though, it uses them to spin a domestic drama. For all the fine-toothed analysis that Gone Girl has spurred, its thrills are, essentially, the stuff of genre, filtered through a distancing lens.
Steven Stamkos scored two goals and added an assist, and Ben Bishop made 30 saves as the Tampa Bay Lightning beat Vancouver 4-2 on Saturday night and hand the Canucks their first loss of the season.Ryan Callahan added a goal and an assist for Tampa Bay (3-1-1), and Alex Killhorn also scored. Ondrej Palat had two assists.Chris Higgins and Alexander Edler scored for Vancouver (3-1), which had 20 saves from backup goalie Eddie Lack in his first start of the season. The Canucks were the last NHL team to lose this season.Vancouver opened with two wins against Edmonton — including Friday night's road victory — and one over Calgary, but ran into trouble against one of the Eastern Conference's best teams.The Canucks had a home sellout streak snapped at 474 games. The previous non-sellout in Vancouver was Nov. 12, 2002.Down 2-1 after 20 minutes, the Canucks tied it 2:42 into the second when Edler took a pass from Daniel Sedin off the rush on a power play and ripped a shot past Bishop for his first goal.After Vancouver failed to score on three straight power plays later in the period, the Lightning retook the lead at 16:48 just after a 5-on-3 advantage expired. Stamkos shattered his stick on a one-timer, went to the bench to pick up a new one, and promptly fed Callahan, who scored his third goal past a helpless Lack.Tampa Bay stretched its lead to 4-2 at 6:04 of the third when Lack made a great save off Tyler Johnson in front, only to have Killhorn shovel in the rebound for his second.Vancouver had a chance to get closer on a power play midway through the third, but Bishop scrambled to keep a shot out that deflected off a skate in front before hitting the post.Starting in place of Ryan Miller, Lack called Stamkos one of the three best players in the world Saturday, and the Tampa Bay sniper showed why.Palat jumped on a turnover by Canucks captain Henrik Sedin in the neutral zone and found a streaking Stamkos, who beat Lack with a slick backhand on the first shot the goalie faced this season just 53 seconds in.The Canucks were looking to open with four consecutive wins for the first time since 1992. They got even when Higgins followed his own rebound and scored his first goal at 7:15.But Stamkos netted his second of the night and fifth of the season just 1:11 later. NOTES: Lightning D Victor Hedman left in the second period with an upper-body injury and didn't return. … The Canucks will start a three-game trip on Tuesday against Dallas. … The Lightning will continue their five-game trip on Monday against Edmonton. … The Canucks will visit the Lightning in their only other meeting on Jan. 20. … Vancouver D Ryan Stanton sat out after sustaining an injury in Friday's game. Yannick Weber took his spot in the lineup.

A neutral arbiter is expected to decide early next week whether NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should testify during an appeal of Ray Rice's indefinite suspension, a person familiar with the case told The Associated Press on Thursday.Goodell said last week he'd leave the decision to former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones. She was picked by the commissioner and the players' union to hear Rice's appeal earlier this month. The hearing is tentatively set for November."I think Judge Jones is the one who ultimately is going to make the rules and determinations," Goodell said at the owners' meetings in New York.The person who informed the AP of the timing spoke on condition of anonymity because details about the hearing haven't been released.The union is appealing Rice's suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. The former Baltimore Ravens running back was suspended after video of him hitting his then-fiancee in an elevator was publicly released.Union officials said in announcing the appeal that Goodell and his staff's testimony is a central reason why it pushed to jointly select an outside arbiter.Goodell said in appointing Jones that she would have "our full co-operation as she hears and decides this appeal." Jones is a partner in a private law firm and is also a former Department of Justice attorney.One month after Rice was initially suspended two games, Goodell said he didn't get things right and announced tougher penalties for future domestic violence incidents. But the penalties didn't apply to Rice. Once the video was released, the Ravens cut Rice and the league banned him indefinitely, with the league saying it considered the video new evidence.

Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas Strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt's growing ego. But lately the duo's greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they've grown to loathe each other.
Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show is starting to look stale. But there's still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act-both onstage and off-if only Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.
THE INCREDIBLE BURT WONDERSTONE opens in theaters Friday, March 15. This film is rated PG-13 by the MPAA for sexual content, dangerous stunts, a drug-related incident and language.

Via Larry Brown Sports:
Adam Scott, you know, the golfer your girlfriend cares about more than you? Yeah, well, his popularity exploded on Sunday after he won the Masters, and now it looks like the TV show "The Bachelor" has interest in bringing him aboard.
After he won the Masters, ABC executive Robert Mills tweeted about the possibility of the golfer becoming the next "Bachelor"
So......Adam Scott as the next #Bachelor??What say you, #Bachelornation?— Robert Mills(@Millsy11374) April 14, 2013
The Adam Scott as #Bachelor idea has exploded. Will try and meet. And Ryan Lochte-this is what it means to have interest in you as #Bachelor— Robert Mills(@Millsy11374) April 15, 2013
I love how supportive @chrisbharrison is of the Adam Scott as #Bachelor idea. We know why he's doing it-he wants to play 18 holes at Augusta— Robert Mills(@Millsy11374) April 15, 2013
Chris Harrison to whom Mills referred in his last tweet is the host of the show.
Would Scott have interest in doing the show? Only he knows, but I have to imagine that it would be tough to fit into his golf schedule. And it's not as if Scott would have any trouble finding dates, either. He and tennis player Ana Ivanovic have been in an on-again, off-again relationship. They were together late in 2011, but they had split up as of earlier this year.

After last winter, many us are approaching this winter with caution.
Today probably didn't help: snow on Halloween?
The National Weather Service's winter weather forecast is out. All we can say is make sure those snow blowers and shovels are ready if you live, work and/or play -- not to mention drive or travel -- between U.S. 131 and the Lake Michigan shore in greater Grand Rapids and West Michigan.
You'll have plenty of options for some good old spine-tingling Halloween fun once the latest batch of thrillers (and one re-release) hits theaters this weekend.

Mother Nature may have tricks of her own to play, with high winds, rain and snow being forecast by the National Weather Service's Grand Rapids Office for Friday.
That's going to make for some possibly challenging conditions for trick-or-treating on Halloween.
How exactly did preschoolers set a world record? Through vocabulary.

This enforcement does not apply to all streets in Grand Rapids.
'Game of Thrones' has drawn plenty of additional buzz in season 5 diverging from its literary roots, but those worried about the HBO fantasy drama's future can rest assured for at least a few years. Not only has the series officially been renewed through a sixth season in 2016, but is principle stars have now signed through season 7 as well.

Mr. Smarty Pants Knows
By Mr. Smarty Pants, Fri., Nov. 16, 2012
Every day, you inhale about 700,000 of your own skin flakes.
On March 20, 1764, a 20-year-old Thomas Jefferson wrote that he got a killer, two-day headache after he behaved awkwardly in front of a girl he fancied.
The number 4 is considered unlucky in China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam because the words in those countries' languages for "4" sound like the word for "death." Many buildings there skip a 4th floor or the floor is labeled "F." Fear of the number 4 is called "tetraphobia."
In 2003, there were 21,514 bowling-related injuries requiring hospital emergency room visits. Most of these involved bowlers who dropped balls on their feet or got their fingers caught between two bowling balls in the bowling ball return.
Hal Smith, the actor who played Otis Campbell, the town drunk on The Andy Griffith Show, never had a sip of booze in his life.

Senior Member
i think that you should have more match making options. like these:
same language [ ]
same skill [ ]
same level [ ]
same country [ ]
simply check the ones u want on and u will be matched more fairly. no one wants to be matched with people who speak to totally different language and cant understand you.
CrippledCow has a point, but another problem I have is that I can't tell what my elo truely is. In order to access it you would have to document every game you ever play, and you have to document ever player you ever player with and against. Thats alot, since the elo is tracked by the game, why is it that there is no way to check my score? Me and my friend are guessing as to what our elo's are. I'm playing games where my elo is causing my teammates to be underskilled and causing me to lose causing my elo to go down. It doesn't seem to put me against easier opponents, it just makes my team more unskilled than my opponents. My friend however whenever he plays with me can't carry the team... even us together it seems to randomize the teams skill to be even lower than what their elo's should be... and cause the opposing team to have elo's closer to his level. He however whenever he plays without my elo tagged on can steamroll a game by himself. I wish that I could see our elo scores (even if its a secret score that only i can tell my own) then we could try to even our scores so our entire team and opponent should technically have the same score as us allowing a fair(er) game. First fix on the list riot is not to say "I don't get paid enough to worry about that" but to allow players to be able to monitor their score... Possibly even assign a duo a third score so playing a without my friend wouldn't change the score me and him have together.
GG DraKe
The elo system is even more important in ranked...
The matchmaker for the game seems very random. It seems impossible to create a fair game environment though. Even if your players skill levels were perfectly matched, you could never predict who will end up against who in which lanes and what champions boths sides choose. I don't think there is a solution to this problem beyond simply increasing your own skill level as much as possible as then finding a team to que with (thus creating the best scenerio possible for you each time you begin a game).
Pink Ninja Man
The main problem with using players KDA ratios is then you will have people that don't care to play as a team or win a game. Instead they will only work on boosting their ratios and running just because there is a chance to die. If they were to add individual stats into the game the matchmaking system would get worse. If you truly are a better player then the elo you are in you will make it out, but you cannot expect instant results it is a thing that must be gained over time. Plus as new summoners reach level 30 they are not near the elo that they should be in so in turn they will be matched improperly. The elo system that is currently in use it the proper way but you must play a good number of games. I personally went from an elo of around 940 to my current elo of 1250 because I played more games and eventually worked my way up.
bump for importance, this is an important issue devs. Stop tweaking and fix it. It doesn't matter how much you tweak a broken system if it doesn't work to begin with.

Friends remember 'Saggy' Tahir at memorial service
Adeel Tahir, youngest son of Saghir Tahir, takes a few minutes to watch a slideshow of moments in his father's life before crowds came to the memorial held Saturday. (JAY REITER/Union Leader)
The man everyone knew as "Saggy" was remembered as a self-made man who came to this country from his native Pakistan in 1972 and became a citizen six years later.
Active in Republican politics, he served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives from 2000 to 2010, one of the first American Muslims elected in the United States.
