Evening folks, you looking forward to this first taste of international football since the summer's World Cup festivities?
Ahead of next week's European qualifier with Switzerland, Roy Hodgson's England side host a friendly game with a Norwegian side not many people will know a great deal about.
If you want to bone up on Per-Mathias Hogmo's squad ahead of the game's 8pm kick-off at Wembley, we've put together a helpful bluffer's guide to the Three Lions' latest opponents.
As England says goodbye to stalwarts of it's supposed 'Golden Generation' in Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, what can we expect to see from a young England side that will be keen to move on from a disappointing summer?
For Norway, things on the football front aren't what they used to be, with few players in the current squad making the grade in the top European leagues.
But Borussia Monchengladbach's Harvard Nordtveit, once of Arsenal, Celtic's Stefan Johansen and Mats Moller Daehli of Cardiff will be worth keeping an eye on.
You'd expect England to have too much for Norway tonight, especially as Roy Hodgson can call on a wealth of experience from his time managing in the country.
The former Fulham and Liverpool manager went on something of a footballing grand adventure before making it big in England, with stints in Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Denmark, Finland and Norway, where he managed Stavanger's awesomely named Viking FK.
Lars Sivertsen takes a look at how the England manage is thought of in Norway, but here's a little taster in the words of Viking's former goalkeeper Frode Olsen: "Roy Hodgson is the funniest coach I've ever had."
One of the big talking points ahead of tonight's game is the small crowd size we're likely to see at Wembley, with less than 40,000 people expected - which would be an all-time low for the national team at their new home.
Looking at the figures, the fact it's a friendly isn't to blame, as these games receive only marginally lower attendances than qualifiers for national tournaments.
What about it being on a Wednesday? No, it's not that either - although weekday games do tend to see lower attendances, the typical for a Wednesday is 73,805, just down on the 74,111 and 75,336 we see on the average Tuesdays and Fridays respectively.
Year-by-year, average attendances tend to fluctuate up and down a fair bit - but always in the mid-to-high 70s.
So far this year, the average is 64,050, down substantially on 2013's 78,444...
If you want to put the Wembley crowd figures in a bit more context, Saturday is National Non League Day, in support of grass-roots football across England.
The event is being run by Conference sponsor Vanarama, in conjunction with Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier, and they are hopeful of setting a new record, with a cumulative target of 50,000 people.
If they reach that figure, we're talking about a significantly bigger crowd than is expected for the national team tonight.
Even the existing record - 2012's 39,210 - could give Wembley a run for it's money...

Of course, for all that doom and gloom, we'll still be watching tonight's game and we want you to follow it with us as well.
If you're struggling for excitement, here are five reasons why it's worth following England's first game since their disappointing World Cup campaign.
We can look forward to some new faces in a overhauled squad where youth is getting a big chance in the wake of notable retirements for Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard.
Arsenal's Calum Chambers and Fabien Delph of Everton will both be hoping to get on the pitch at some point after they were called up to the squad.
John Stones of Everton is in line to make his full debut after two appearances earlier this year, while Newcastle's Jack Colback was hoping to earn his first cap for the senior team, but misses out due to injury.
There are several big talking points ahead of tonight's game - and chief among them is if Jack Wilshere can get his seemingly stalling international career back on track.
He was the man everyone expected would take on the mantle from the likes of Gerrard and Lampard once they hung up their boots, but hasn't come on as much as expected - for club or country.
This is a big year for the Arsenal man and Roy Hodgson has been challenging him in the build-up to tonight's friendly to become his main man in midfield.

England have announced their starting XI for tonight's game.
We're likely to see most of the squad by the end of the night - it is a friendly after all.
But here are the players who will be running out for kick-off:
England starting XI: Joe Hart, John Stones, Gary Cahill, Leighton Baines, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson, Jack Wilshere, Raheem Sterling, Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge
Here's the @England starting XI to take on Norway @WembleyStadium. Kick-off is 8pm. #EngvNor pic.twitter.com/Kk8F7jw9eM— England (@england) September 3, 2014
Another big talking point tonight is how England's new captain Wayne Rooney will perform.
He has been named skipper for club and country this summer, despite a relatively mixed year for the Manchester United man.
He says that he's over the problems he had during his younger years and ready to lead, but not everyone is convinced.
Former Red Devils defender Paul Parker savaged the new England skipper this week, calling his performances "awful" and claiming the striker is also selfish.
Speaking to Eurosport, he said that it is time for Rooney to be dropped at Old Trafford in favour of new signing Radamel Falcao.
As for Wayne Rooney, he's been awful," the legendary defender said.
"There he was at Burnley this weekend, supposedly captaining the team - but I saw a player interested only in himself, doing nothing to try and lift his game or inspire his team-mates."
Do you think Rooney is the man to lead his country?
As for tonight's visitors, coach Per-Mathias Hogmo also has a youthful team taking to the field, although that's not surprising given that nearly all of his squad are under 30.
We already know that they'll be fully aware of Roy Hodgson after his extensive period spent managing throughout Scandinavia.
Will that be reflected in their tactics?
Norway starting XI: Orjan Haskjold Nyland, Omar Elabdellaoui, Havard Nordveit, Vegard Forren, Martine Linnes, Per Ciljan Skjelbred, Stefan Johansen, Ruben Yttergard Jenssen, Mats Moller Daehli, Joshua King, Tarik Elyounoussi.
On the subs bench for England are:
- Danny Rose
- Fraser Forster
- Phil Jagielka
- Calum Chambers
- James Milner
- Fabien Delph
- Andros Townsend
- Danny Welbeck
- Rickie Lambert
What do you make of that as a bench? Not bad, although there's not much experience either beyond James Milner and Phil Jagielka - that's the danger when you go with youth, I suppose!
It will be interesting to see Danny Welbeck following his switch to Arsenal and how he links up with Wilshere and the Ox if they're still on the pitch when he comes on.
Also, I've just realised I left Danny Rose off the list of debutants for tonight's game, so apologies to Tottenham supporters.
The Spurs defender is in the England squad for the first time tonight.
England subs: 12 Rose 13 Forster 14 Jagielka 15 Chambers 16 Milner 17 Delph 18 Townsend 19 Welbeck 20 Lambert #EngvNor— England (@england) September 3, 2014
And for Norway, the bench looks like this:
- Rune Almenning Jarstein (GK)
- Andre Hansen (GK)
- Fredrik Semb Berge
- Steffen Hagen
- Per-Egil Flo
- Jone Samuelsen
- Morten Gamst Pedersen
- Anders Konradesen
- Havard Nielsen
- Alexander Tettey
- Mohamed Elyouhoussi
- Ola Kamara
There are a few familiar names in there for England supporters.
Chief among them will be Morten Gamst Pedersen, the 32-year old Rosenborg midfielder who spent nine years at Ewood Park with Blackburn Rovers.
Alexander Tettey of Norwich also makes the bench - the 28-year-old has been with the Championship side since 2012, joining from French team Rennes.
And there's Wayne Rooney leading the Three Lions out to warm up for the first time as captain.
He certainly looks pleased with his new-found responsibilities in those pictures.
It's hard to gauge how #emptyseatgate is shaping up just yet, as we're still 25 minutes away from kick-off.
But it's certainly not very full just yet.

Welcome to white-hot Wembley.
Fever-pitch excitement. The crowd on nervous edge. Everybody counting down the minutes.
No, sorry. I can't even pretend to sustain any enthusiasm.
Events in Brazil cannot, will not, be forgotten, or forgiven. That was, perhaps, not as low as South Africa, in that England did try and play football.
But the failure was total and utter. Out after two games, five days, before – as was noted – the travelling media party had stopped taking their malaria tablets for the trip to Manaus.
So what next? What now? Who cares.......?
Not the fans. The FA was talking up a crowd of 35-40,000. At the moment it wouldn't take too long for me to whip round and come back with all the names....
But for John Stones on his first start, Jack Wilshere, handed the central midfield reins, Raheem Sterling and new skipper Wayne Rooney, there are expectations of something worth watching.
Hodgson knows, accepts, he has kept the job by default. But it is his, until the end of Euro 2016.
''A New Journey'' proclaims the Wembley programme. To the same destination? We all hope not. But it is hard to predict it will end any differently. That's where despair upon despair takes you.
Browsing through the history books, which is much easier when it involves computers and web pages instead of actual books, we're looking at a 12 meeting between the two sides tonight.
England have the upper hand - with six wins in 11 so far, although they've only recorded victory on two of the four meetings at Wembley.
In terms of goals, the Three Lions have found the back of the net 27 times in these fixtures, which is 2.5 goals a game - not bad considering they've only conceded seven.
So what can we expect from England tonight?
They've opted for an attacking line-up, with Oxlade-Chamberlain joining Sterling, Sturridge and Rooney in the attacking quadrant and the midfield anchored by Henderson and Wilshere.
With Danny Welbeck also on the bench, that's a very big Arsenal and Liverpool presence in this new and young team.
At the back, Joe Hart, Gary Cahill and Leighton Baines bring the experience, with John Stones starting after an impressive start at Everton and Phil Jones looking to make a centre-back spot his own for club and country this year.
The teams are out for the national anthems with kick-off just minutes away.
As expected, it's looking pretty empty around Wembley, so it will be interesting to see what the official attendance figure is.
Let's not let that hold us back though.
Hopefully, we're in for a good game with a lot of attacking players on the pitch for England.
Despite this being a friendly game, anything less than a win ahead of next week's qualifier in Switzerland isn't likely to go down well with the fans...
HERE THEY COME! New captain @WayneRooney leads his country out of the Wembley tunnel for tonight's match against Norway #EngvNor— England (@england) September 3, 2014
...with England kicking things off in front of what we can expect will be a rather muted crowd.
After a few early touches at the back, Wilshere and Henderson are already looking to bring the ball forward when they can.
This is apparently only the second time the two have lined up together in an England midfield, but you expect Roy Hodgson will get plenty of mileage out of the pairing if they perform well during the qualifiers for the European championships.
Sterling and Oxlade-Chamberlain link up nicely there - there's a lot of pace in this England team going forward, so Norway are likely to play deep.
England have a free kick and are already getting a feel for the ball in the Norway half.
Henderson tries to play in Rooney and the rebound comes for Sturridge... but his shot is blocked.
But Wilshere is pulled down 25-yards out and this is a chance for Baines to have a promising sighter at goal...
...But his shot goes harmlessly over the bar.
Apparently, the Everton man is the oldest England player on the pitch tonight - it's easy to forget how long he went before becoming a regular in the national team setup.
On the other side of the back four, his club teammate John Stones is very much one for the future, and Roberto Martinez will be watching on closely tonight you feel.
It's pretty quiet in the stadium right now, but those who are there are attempting to make some noise.
And the away fans have something to cheer after winning a throw deep in the England half...
Norway push forward and that's a dangerous cross...
But England have it back with Oxlade-Chamberlain running into space and playing in Sturridge down the right, who is just unable to play in Rooney in the box.
It's with AOC again, who crosses for Sturridge but the ball is just too high.
We're already seeing what is likely to be the pattern of the game, with plenty of England possession and Norway dropping back and attempting to keep their shape.
Sturridge drives at the heart of defence and could have played in the Ox, but holds onto it just a bit too long and the chance is gone.
A reversion for England to a 4-4-2 formation means Rooney and Sturridge will need to link up at the top of the attack, with Sterling and the Ox providing plenty of threat down the flanks.
With a big part of this game liable to be played in the Norwegian half, it makes sense to sacrifice one from midfield for an extra striker.
And if it means no more playing Rooney out of position, then I'm all for it.
That was certainly one of the less-enjoyable aspects of England's pretty dismal showing at the World Cup...
Sturridge and Sterling combine to cut a swathe through the Norwegian back line, but his shot is blocked in the box by Forren.
Again an injection of speed with Wilshere playing in Oxlade-Chamberlain, and that's another last-minute intervention for Norway, this time by Linnes.
Well so far, we're seeing nice combinations between the Liverpool and Arsenal boys.
England aren't playing in three rigid lines, which is a positive.
It's actually 4-2-2-2, with both Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sterling having the option and flexibility to come inside rather than stay wide.
That puts an onus on the full-backs to get forward, although Sturridge is happy to funnel right at times.
England are trying to knock the ball about, even in the congested areas.
But not a shot on target so far, just a Banes free-kick well over the top. Surprised Rooney didn't pull rank on that one...
Jones clears but the ball falls to Elyounoussi, who unleashes a speculative effort that does little to trouble Hart in goal.
Now we're back with England possession deep in the Norway half, but a stumble by Sterling gives it back.
England are quick to win the ball back with Sturridge just taking too long with the ball at his feet inside the opposition half box.
Well, things have been a bit flat so far, but England look dangerous whenever they quicken the pace.
We've seen very little from Norway as an attacking threat, even though they have registered the only shot on target of the game so far...
And there's a good chance for England, with Sterling playing a great ball over the top to put Sturridge in but he fails to stop the ball from popping up and is only able to scoop it over Nyland and his goal.
That was better though from England, and it was some more club-based interplay between the Liverpool two.
It looks like Roy Hodgson has definitely picked his team with those little interactions in mind.
Jesnssen brings it forward for Norway but is unable to find King in the middle and it's back with England in the opposition half once more...
We've got a stoppage with Elyounoussi sliding in on Baines, who is played in by Sterling just a minute later.
However his cross-cum-shot drive toward the back post is easily cut out by the Norwegian defence with another last-ditch tackle.
That's a dangerous run by Linnes, the Norwegian left-back who puts in a dangerous cross, but England are able to win it back.
Now England play keep ball for a little while, before Sterling attempts to play in his left-back once more, but just over-hits the pass.
We're a third of the way through the game, with very little to report so far, as both managers take a moment to give their players some instructions during a short break.
And here's the first change of the day... with Martin Linnes replaced by Per Egil Flo due to injury.
England come forward again but the Ox is stopped in his tracks and Stones goes in a little to zealously there, giving Norway a chance to pump the ball forward with goalkeeper Nyland.
England still haven't tested the keeper, although they should be one up.
Delicious ball from out on the left by Sterling (on his right foot), picking out Sturridge run in behind.
The Liverpool man had time to bring the ball down but in the end tried to lob over the keeper. He managed that, but it didn't fall the other side in time, landing on the roof of the net.
Sturridge knew he should have done better. But weren't we saying that in the summer?
Cardiff's Mats Moller Daehli has looked composed on the ball when he's been able to get involved.
The youngster is highly thought of by the Bluebirds, and he's nearly played in there after a dangerous run in behind, but he's matched the whole way by Gary Cahill, who clears.
Wilshere drives forward with the ball as he is wont to do... and he appears to have been brought down in the box there, but the referee waves play on.
He was running at speed, but the appeals from the England players were muted.
All England, monopolising possession and territory.
But nothing to show for it.
Baines thought he was in from Sterling's chested lay-off but his strike was blocked, Sturridge held his head when Stones' cross went just over his leap, Sterling unable to get there in time.
Yet England, still, have not produced a shot on target. They are about as efficient as the Wembley wi-fi. But I'll let John Cross fill you in on that....
@MartinLipton @OllieHolt22 My thoughts are fix the Wembley wifi. It's hardly under strain tonight— John Cross (@johncrossmirror) September 3, 2014
How is that not a penalty?
Wilshere, receiving from Sterling, breaks into the box, toes it past Nordtveit, and is absolutely cleaned out by the Norway centre-half.
A nailed-on spot kick, no question. Yet the referee, well-placed, isn't interested. There you go...
England still trying to play the right way. But they don't look as though they believe in themselves.
Then again, who does believe in them any more? Still had to be a penalty, mind.
So there we are with a goalless first half, not what England needed.
Whether or not you think this was supposed to be the start of a bright new age, Roy Hodgson certainly will have wanted his players to test Nyland in the Norway goal more than they have.
In fact, they haven't had a shot on target yet.
Looking at the replays of the penalty shout, Nordveit got none of the ball and appeared to catch Wilshere, but perhaps the referee feels the Arsenal man could have stayed on his feet if he'd really wanted to.
It's hard to tell when players are running at pace, but either way, England haven't really done enough to deserve a lead.
Now, this isn't a statistic that we thought we'd see after 45 minutes between England and Norway, with the Three Lions also boasting home advantage.
Only one of the goalkeepers has been forced into action so for, and it isn't the Norwegian man.
Has the lack of fans attending the game got to the England boys? They say the crowd is often the 12th man, but looking around Wembley, England aren't even fielding 11-and-a-half right now...
1 - Joe Hart was the only goalkeeper who had to make a save in the first half of England vs Norway. Stifled.— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe) September 3, 2014
Please stay with us, even if this is turning into another England snoozefest.
I'm sure there will be plenty more action in the second half, and there's only been three goals so far in the game at Dusseldorf...
You know, the one between champions Germany and Argentina - a replay of the World Cup final, well apart from the score - in front of a supposedly sell-out crowd.
I hear Manchester United's Angel Di Maria has been pretty good.
Back at Wembley, the best England's Twitter account can muster is that Sturridge has been "looking bright."
He has to be fair, England have had some dangerous moments and passed the ball well. But zero shots on target says it all really.
HT: England 0-0 Norway. No goals so far but we dominated the first half. @sterling31 and @D_Sturridge looking bright. #EngvNor— England (@england) September 3, 2014
All the ball. But not a shot on target. Not, by any means, even close to good enough.
It was not that England lacked the ambition to create or hurt Norway.
But they lacked the execution and, Sterling apart, lacked the spark as well.
Saying that, it really should have been a penalty when Wilshere was brought down.
So far, though, it feels like the Brazilian wake is going on and on and on.
One thing I failed to mention - hey, it was missed during everything else that occurred in that action-packed first half - is that there was a water break shortly after the half-hour mark.
During that time, Roy Hodgson took the opportunity to talk to his players, but his instructions appear to have fallen on deaf ears - with little change in the remainder of the first half.
I'm struggling to think of too much interesting to say ahead of the second half, so I'll talk about this instead.
After 50 minutes, world champions Germany are (spoilers coming)....
... losing to Argentina 4-1!!
Angel Di Maria has made three and scored one, so that's a great night for the Manchester United man.
Come on Roy, give us something to cheer about at Wembley!!
Ian Wright seems unusually up-beat about what's unfolding here - saying that a couple of goals is all that's stopping people calling this a fairly decent England performance.
I'd have to agree. It is, indeed, the lack of goals that England have mustered stopping this from being a good night's work by the Three Lions.
But at least they aren't losing, I suppose.
Anyway, back to the action - with Norway getting us underway and immediately pushing forward with Daehli, but his cross is gathered by Hart.
Skjelbred and Jenssen are enjoying a rare spell on the ball in the middle for Norway, and here's Elabdellaoui bringing it forward down the right.
Looks like Norway want to be a bit more adventurous this half, with Daehli winning a free kick from Baines on the right flank, just in line with the England penalty area.
The ball is cleared at the expense of a Norway corner, which Jenssen will take - and that's the best chance of the game!
Joshua King of Blackburn beats Stones in the air and forces an outstretched save by Hart, who just manages to get the ball clear of the danger area for another Norway corner.
Oooh, close for Norway. King comes forward again after Gary Cahill gets it all wrong out on the right of the England half, then the young Norwegian, who is just 22, ghosts past Phil Jones like he wasn't there, but Hart smothers the cut-back .
We've got another stoppage now with Daehli down and in some pain after catching Sterling.
But the fact is, England should be losing and neither centre-back did little to cover themselves in glory there.
Daehli can't continue so he's replaced by No.14 Anders Konradsen.
In case you were wondering about the outcome of #emptyseatgate, we've just had word of the official attendance and it's just managed to break the big 40 mark, coming in at 40,181, which is the lowest Three Lions attendance at the new Wembley.
So that means we're nearly 24,000 down on this year's average of 64,050, which was also significantly lower on 2013's 78,444.
That needed a top save by Hart.
King got above Stones to meet a near-post corner and it was heading for the top corner before Hart stretched out his left hand to claw away.
And Hart has to be the man to the rescue again when Cahill makes a dog's breakfast of things on the touchline, letting King in again.
The former Manchester United man, now at Blackburn, does all the hard work to get into the box but Hart makes himself big, spreading his legs and body wide, to save. He is at least at the races.
England have looked shaky in the opening 15 minutes of this second half, while Joshua King appears to have come alive during the interval.
Either that, or Norway have decided to give this a real go and are attempting to pick out the Blackburn man's runs with more regularity.
England look to exploit this fact with a rare counter attack, but it breaks down once Sturridge goes down in the box under very little pressure from Nordveit and the referee tells him to get up.
James Milner and Rickie Lambert are among the England substitutes warming up. The Manchester City man is currently receiving instructions from Gary Neville.
Danny Welbeck is also on the bench.
Will we see the new Arsenal man at some point tonight? I certainly wouldn't bet against it.
Sturridge is the latest player down and in need of a spot of treatment after Forren jumps with him and catches the England man.
But all these stoppages are only playing into Norway's hands, breaking up the Three Lions flow and
There's 25 minutes left here and England need to come up with a lot more if they're to turn this around.
And they might just do that after Sterling is upended in the box by Elabdellaoui.
This time the referee blows and points to the spot. And it's Rooney...
...And the skipper makes no mistake, hitting it hard and to the left for his 41st international goal.
Nyland guesses the right direction, diving to his right, but has no chance to stop Rooney's powerful drive there.
England certainly needed that - they didn't look like scoring in open play.
Time for some changes now for England, with a flurry of new faces.
And it's a first England cap for Aston Villa's Fabien Delph, who comes on for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
James Milner replaces Jack Wilshere and Wayne Rooney makes way for Danny Welbeck.
Norway also made a change in all that, with Mohammed Elyounoussi replacing Per Skjelbred.
Gary Cahill takes the armband and Sterling moves into a more central position - it looks like we've got a diamond in the middle now.
Danny Welbeck makes an immediate impact for the Three Lions, fashioning England's best chance from open play after showing good strength to win the ball played into him by Sterling.
He hits it hard and true from just outside the penalty area and forces a decent save out of Nyland between the sticks for Norway.
Sterling looks like he's been given a bit more freedom to drift around the middle of the park since the goal and is picking it up in deep positions combining well with Welbeck, who is played through by Sturridge and flashes it enticingly across Norway's six-yard box.
But no-one is at the back post to convert.
Joshua King won't be scoring today - he's been replaced by Harvard Nielsen, who will now lead the line for Norway.
The 22-year-old, who's currently at Blackburn Rovers, had a quiet first-half, but looked the most likely to break the deadlock in the first 20 minutes of the second.
Sturridge has it in a dangerous position and support on either side after good work by Delph.
The ball eventually falls for Jones, who flashes it wildly over.
There you go.
Just as we were all beginning to wonder if there was going to be anything to cheer, Sterling induces the clear foul by Elabdellaoui and, this time, the Portuguese referee sees it.
Rooney has no hesitation in taking the responsibility, picking his spot and rifling home. No chance for the keeper.
That's Rooney's 41 England goal in 96 appearances, taking him above Michael Owen into sole possession of fourth place in the all-time scoring charts.
Surely, now with the armband, Rooney will be the first to score 50 for England, which would take him above Greaves, Lineker and record-holder Bobby Charlton.
And it's another England debut, this time for Arsenal's Calum Chambers, who comes on for John Stones to fill in at right back.
And he's immediately involved, with the throw to get us back underway.
Despite taking up a position to the right of the back four, the former Southampton lad has been impressing in the middle with the Gunners this season.
That followed another change by Norway, with Ola Kamara replacing Tarik Elyounoussi, who had a relatively quiet night.
Another change for England, with Phil Jagielka coming on for Gary Cahill at the back.
That means another change of armband, with Joe Hart taking on the duties as skipper.
Jags hasn't had a great summer, after a disappointing World Cup campaign and a slow start with Everton this season.
He'll be aware he needs to work hard to tie down a regular berth at the back, with the next batch of youngsters coming through behind him following run-outs for Stones and Chambers.
Just five minutes to go here and the games become pretty bitty following all the second half changes, but Norway look to come forward again.
One player who has caught the eye since his introduction is Delph, who has already covered a lot of ground and got involved at every oppotrunity.
We've got another change for Norway, with Ruben Jenssen replaced by a familiar face - one Morten Gamst Pedersen!
Oooh, close by England on the counter attack.
Sterling breaks at pace and finds Milner on the farside, but the City man flashes his shot just wide.
And with that, we have another change as Sturridge makes way for his Liverpool team-mate Rickie Lambert.
We've just reached the 90 minute mark and there will be four more minutes.
Welbeck has made a positive impression since replacing Rooney straight after the goal. He might have scored with a smart turn and right-footer, which actually forced the only save so far out of the Norwegian keeper.
Debuts for Delph and Chambers, off the bench, although you have to hope Cahill was taken off as a precaution to give Jagielka a game, rather than because of a knock.
Meandering towards the end now. England will probably see it out.
Despite the victory though, it hasn't been very good, by any means. Without Sterling, it would have been hard to find anything bright.
So there it is. Hardly a classic, by any stretch of the imagination, with England doing the absolute minimum to take the win.
In the end, they managed to match Norway with two shots on target apiece - which pretty much says it all as far as how much action there way.
But Roy Hodgson had a chance ot experiment, switching around his formation in the second half and giving debut runouts to Delph and Chambers.
A win is a win and that's apparently England's first in six games.
But they'll need to play much better next week in Switzerland you feel.
What did you make of tonight's game? It was one of firsts in many ways.
England's first since a poor World Cup; Rooney's first as captain; the first since Gerrard and Lampard announced their international retirements.
Given the changes, Hodgson will no doubt be pleased they took the win - anything else would have put some unneeded heat on this young Three Lions side ahead of a big qualification game on Monday.
Still, many of the same old concerns were all-too apparent as the game wore on and, but for a penalty, we probably would have been lamenting a lifeless 0-0 draw.
Wayne Rooney says Norway made things difficult for England in the first half and feels his side were sloppy for 15 minutes after the break, which was "disappointing".
"The big thing tonight was the victory," he said after the game.
The Manchester United striker was full of praise for Raheem Sterling: "He's an exciting player and he makes things happen."
But, the new England skipper says there'll need to be plenty more from this group if they are to exorcise any of the demons that reared their heads in Brazil.
A win, yes.
And a win is a win, I guess.
But this wasn't impressive, by any means and even if nothing was going to shift the shadow of Brazil, it was hard to find much to even raise a beacon of hope.
Maybe that's a bit harsh. Sterling was England's best player, bright and inventive and it was no surprise that he earned the penalty converted by skipper Rooney.
That aside, though, it was pretty tedious. Eminently forgettable.
And if Cahill's ankle problem – under ice on the bench – rules him out of the trip to Switzerland on Monday, you start to fear for Hodgson's team.
Not for the first time, OptaJoe cuts to the heart of the matter in 140 characters or less.
That Rooney goal was only England's second shot on target in their last 170 minutes of play, showing just how much the Three Lions are struggling to make chances recently.
What can they do to fix things? With Rooney, Sterling, Sturridge and Oxlade-Chamberlain all starting, you would have hoped for much better than that.

Read our match report of what definitely wasn't a classic at Wembley, as England huffed and, rather wheezily, puffed on their way to a slightly flattering 1-0 win against minnows Norway.
As if the performance on the pitch wasn't lacklustre enough, Roy Hodgson's men suffered the indignity of a record low crowd at the new Wembley, with just 40,181 in a national stadium at less-than-half capacity.
Raheem Sterling was one of England's few bright sparks as Hodgson experimented with line-ups, tactics and gave several young players their first caps in a Three Lions shirt.
Roy Hodgson had a fairly optimistic take on this evening's game, as you may have expected.
The England manager said: "I thought the first half we were very dominant, kept the ball very well.
"We started the second half poorly. I was disappointed with the first 10-15 minutes and Joe [Hart] had to make a couple of saves, having been a spectator in the first half."
However, he said that personnel changes encouraged his team to make more chances and was particularly impressed with Fabien Delph's introduction.
Hodgson also said he will consider how best to utilise Sterling after the Liverpool youngster's impressive showing in the final 25 minutes, following a tactical switch-around by the England side.
"The important thing was the victory, to start well, we wanted that clean sheet today.
"I think there were a lot of positive things for me to take with me."
What did you learn tonight, other than that it's still not very fun watching England in international friendlies?
It wasn't all bad news for the Three Lions, with Raheem Sterling and Daniel Sturridge looking just as vital to England's chances as they are to Liverpool's.
Several players enjoyed impressive debuts, with John Stones looking assured at right back.
But it's safe to say that Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard have left big boots to fill in the middle and Roy Hodgson will be hoping that Jordan Henderson and Jack Wilshere can put in more commanding displays in games to come.
Check out the full list of things we learned right here.
Follow the jump to learn how John Cross rated England's boys tonight.
Spoiler alert: no one scored particularly highly for the Three Lions other than a couple of players, with Raheem Sterling, unsurprisingly, taking Man of the Match as he continues his impressive run of early-season form.
For their part, Norway were probably a bit better than some would have expected, especially in the second half - with Skjelbred the standout and King looking dangerous after the break.
Enjoy all the pictures from tonight's game and take note of all the empty seats around Wembley.
It really was hard to ignore at points during the match just how few people were in attendance.
The FA will be hoping for a fair few more in the crowd next time England run out at Wembley - on October 9 for a European Championship qualifier with San Marino.
Before then, the Three Lions travel to Basel for a qualifier with Switzerland on Monday September 8.
Sounds like Roy Hodgson wasn't too happy with some of the questions he was asked after the game, particularly on what he thought about the low number of shots recorded by his side.
"Don't give me that," he says. What about all the blocked shots, he asks.
What indeed? There were quite a few of them to be fair, but it's safe to say no one would have called that a bombardment.
It appears that Roy isn't a fan of statistics, although maybe that's just when they are as unflattering as tonights.
He also made some interesting comments on the exorbitant amounts of money in today's game, and how much of it goes to players from overseas while English football remains relatively static...
Whatever he may feel about the state of English football, Hodgson doesn't have long to get more out of his current squad.
England's European Championship qualifiers come thick and fast, with little over a year for the Three Lions to qualify for the 2016 tournament in France:
- September 8 2014: Switzerland vs England
- October 9 2014: England vs San Marino
- October 12 2014: Estonia vs England
- November 15 2014: England vs Slovenia
- March 27 2015: England vs Lithuania
- June 14 2015: Slovenia vs England
- September 5 2015: San Marino vs England
- September 8 2015: England vs Switzerland
- October 9 2015: England vs Estonia
- October 12 2015: Lithuania vs England.
On paper, at least, you'd expect England to pick up the points they need across those 10 games to qualify for the championships in France and you would also have to say it will be disappointing if they can't finish top of their group.
But on paper, you'd also expect England to dispatch Norway with a little more ease than they managed tonight.
And Switzerland may have a thing or two to say about who tops Group E, after an impressive World Cup in which they lost narrowly to finalists Argentina only after extra time in the first knockout round.
That's all from us tonight, thank you for staying with it to the bitter end, those of you who stuck around.
Of course, we all would have hoped for a bit more entertainment - well, a lot more entertainment really, it seems like the Germany vs Argentina game could have spared some - but England did win in the end so we should probably be grateful for that.
We'll be back following the Three Lions on Monday evening in what will hopefully be a MUCH better performance from Roy Hodgson's men.
At the very least, the stakes will be higher as they take on Switzerland at St Jackob-Park in the first round of qualifying games for Euro 2016.
Until then, keep yourselves out of trouble and have a gander at this fairly interesting development - which could see England hosting both the Euro 2020 and Euro 2028 finals after striking a deal with the German FA.

The recent economic downturn forced many companies to reduce their workforce to a level more commensurate to revenue. And now that a few "green shoots" of recovery are beginning to sprout, some of them are considering hiring more workers. However, they're cautious, and not sure the current uptick will last beyond a few months. Is there another way to address your increasing work load? (more…)

Should I worry about Red Flag Rules?Wednesday, May 26th, 2010
On June 1, the Federal Trade Commission begins enforcing "Red Flag" rules, which require businesses to implement anti-identity theft policies. Created through Fair and Accurate Credit Act of 2003, the regulations require businesses that extend credit to consumers to develop a written policy that identifies warning signs and suspicious activities (i.e., red flags) of possible identity theft, and tactics to address and prevent it. If your business defers payment for goods or services, you must follow the Red Flag rules. (more…)

Born and raised in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, Michael Cabot is a singer-songwriter with a style all his own, making his music difficult to pigeon-hole. Though influenced by classic artists like Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, and John Denver, his fans say that – depending upon the song – he reminds them of everything from Bob Seger to Hall & Oates.
Whether picking or strumming his collection of six and twelve-string guitars or on keyboards, Michael Cabot presents a nostalgic, "unplugged", and refreshingly almost-raw performance reminiscent of the great 1970's Folk scene. Be it Chapin's Taxi, Denver's Rocky Mountain High, or his very own The Story of Me and You, Michael Cabot proves that you don't need strobe lights and pyrotechnics to appreciate good music.
"I wanted to thank you for playing at Shawnee Ridge. It was an absolutely incredible show and the residents loved it and requested you back the second time. We look forward to having you back again and highly recommend you to anyone looking for great talented entertainment. Thank you!"

In an era when women were supposed to be disciplined and obedient, Anna proved to be neither. Defying 16th-century social mores, she was the frequent subject of gossip because of her immodest dress and flirtatious behavior. When her wealthy father discovered that she was having secret, simultaneous affairs with a young nobleman and a cavalryman, he turned her out of the house in rage, but when she sued him for financial support, he had her captured, returned home and chained to a table as punishment. Anna eventually escaped and continued her suit against her father, her siblings and her home town in a bitter legal battle that was to last 30 years and end only upon her death.
Drawn from her surviving love letters and court records, The Burgermeister's Daughter is a fascinating examination of the politics of sexuality, gender and family in the 16th century, and a powerful testament to the courage and tenacity of a woman who defied the inequalities of this distant age.

Sony was the second of the three console manufacturers to have a go at E3. We bring the five key takeaways from its PlayStation conference:
Sony still knows best what gamers want, so why the Powers misstep?
Aiming the PlayStation 4 squarely at gamers has worked well for Sony so far, and it demonstrated at E3 that it knows what gamers want. The conference was a fine blend of announcements like Bloodborne, a new game from Demon's and Dark Souls director Hidetaka Miyazaki, and crowd-pleasing looks at popular games like Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Uncharted 4 and Batman: Arkham Knight.
It was slightly bizarre, then, to see precious minutes spent on the unveiling of PlayStation-exclusive TV series Powers, based on a comic book series. Co-creator Brian Michael Bendis was hauled up on stage to talk about it, when all there was to show was some concept art. Fine as the series may turn out to be, I hope its incongruous unveiling at a games conference doesn't turn out to be a symptom of a deeper malaise on Sony's part.
Sony knows the value of diversity
It struck me, watching the two big conferences, how much of the video game industry relies on blood and gore. Dismemberment seems to be in vogue, with the Mortal Kombat X taking violence to absolutely ridiculous levels, full of literally bone shattering hits (I saw an exposed spine being snapped in half at one point).
So it was refreshing that some of Sony's conference was dedicated to more innocent charms. Entwined is a game about two souls in love who can't be together, a simple premise that is shockingly rare in video games. LittleBigPlanet 3 is one of Sony's big hitters, but it was still nice to see a solid chunk of time devoted to the handcrafted adventures of a little sackboy and his friends.
I enjoy a good shooter as much as anyone, but too much of the same thing can be sickening. The diversity on display was very much welcome.
Console exclusive indie releases could be the tiebreaker
It is a fitting tribute to Sony's efforts to woo indie developers that No Man's Sky, created by a team of four at Hello Games, was easily the most impressive thing at the conference. A short demo showed the player exploring gorgeous alien landscapes, before returning to a spaceship and seamlessly taking off into the depths of space.
The footage capped the announcement of several other indie games which will be console exclusives for the PS4; none as spectacular as No Man's Sky, but which add welcome diversity to the console's line-up nonetheless. With the big guns bringing pretty much the same things to the table for either system, Sony getting in early with indie developers and securing console exclusives could be the tiebreaker as the battle between the PS4 and the Xbox One heats up.
Vita is firmly in the shadows
Where was the PlayStation Vita? Fans of the handheld console have been waiting for a killer E3 showing for years now, but the thing was barely mentioned during Sony's conference. More than 100 Vita titles are being developed, said SCEA CEO Shawn Layden, so why choose to show none of them? The publisher seems to be content with the Vita being an accompanying device for the PlayStation 4, with its remote play capabilities, and nothing more. It will still get indie titles and cross-platform releases like the upcoming Grim Fandango re-release, but if there are still big-budget exclusives tailored for the platform coming, Sony should have trumpeted them at its conference.
The stage is set for Nintendo to steal the show
Both Microsoft and Sony delivered safe and unspectacular conferences, displaying games we already knew about or that were rumoured to be announced. While fans of each platform should be happy, I can't imagine someone on the fence watching either conference running out to get a PS4 or Xbox One.
The stage is set, then, for Nintendo's digital event tonight. The ailing giant's Wii U may be struggling, but the immensely well-received Mario Kart 8 has sparked an increase in sales and shoved the system back into relevance. With a strong showing - a new Legend Of Zelda for the Wii U, some surprise announcements and a solid 3DS slate - Nintendo could yet steal the show and turn the Wii U's fortunes around.

BayStar Keeping Quiet on Demand for SCO Redemption
BayStar Keeping Quiet on Demand for SCO Redemption
Days after BayStar Capital Management LLC told The SCO Group Inc. that it was ending its agreement with SCO and demanding that SCO redeem BayStars 20,000 shares of SCOs series A-1 convertible preferred stock, SCO says it still doesnt know why BayStar is doing this.
According to SCOs director of corporate communications, Blake Stowell, "BayStar hasnt responded to our requests for exactly how SCO breached four sections of the companies contracts."
"Theyve not been forthcoming to SCO or any member of the media," he said.
When asked directly how SCO has broken its agreement, BayStar spokesman Bob McGrath replied, "No comment." He added, "At this time, we are not answering any questions about SCOs announcement concerning BayStar." In short, BayStar is not even confirming that it send SCO the letter.
Some analysts have suggested that BayStar may have made its demands for immediate redemption of the shares because it wanted more control of the company. To that, Stowell replied, "When the exchange took place, they were offered a board seat. I believe that offer still stands, and to this point they havent chosen to take the board seat."
Stowell said he wanted to clarify that "just because BayStar is asking for redemption doesnt mean that it will happen. SCO is as well-funded today as it was a week ago, and redemption hasnt taken place."
Dion Cornett, managing director at Decatur Jones Equity Partners LLC, an independent equity-research firm focused on small to midsized growth companies, said, "I cant get inside BayStars brain, but I think theyre pulling out because they no longer believe SCO is a good investment."
Stacey Quandt, principal analyst at Quandt Analytics, said she agrees. "The implication is that BayStar thinks SCO will not succeed with its case."
Cornett continued, "I cant believe theyre doing this just because of a press release [one of BayStars purported claims against SCO]. I dont know what spooked them, but based on the timing, it might have been because IBM had just filed for summary judgment."
Quandt added, "When you look at SCOs situation, maybe BayStar has decided to cut their losses."
Next Page: Its very hard for a company to force redemption, analyst says.
Hard to Force Redemption
As for BayStar getting its stock redeemed, Cornett said he isnt optimistic about the companys chances if SCO fights back. "Its very hard for a company to force redemption. They know that," he said, adding that he thinks its "no more than a 50/50 chance that BayStar could get an injunction to free its money."
If BayStar does get its shares, though, Cornett said he expects the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), which also financed SCO with $30 million as part of the package with BayStars $20 million, to "get out."
The RBC, along with BayStar, already got SCO to restructure the deal once before in December to prevent SCO from being sold without first obtaining their consent. The two investment houses did this in response to a deal by which a 20 percent contingency fee of any proceedings from the sale of the company would be awarded to SCOs law firm, Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP.
But for now, bank spokesman Chris Pepper said, "We are aware of what BayStar is doing, and were reviewing our options."
Cornett said, "Ive seen private equity investment do this kind of maneuver to try for better terms or to get out. If they do intend to get out and get their money back, they will face a court battle. Its ironicSCO will use the money they received from BayStar to defend themselves from BayStar."
Dan Kusnetzky, IDC vice president of system software, said he thinks SCO "will find itself embroiled in another legal contest."
"As an industry analyst, SCO needs customers, particularly big ones, and [it has sent] 1,500 letters threatening legal action, which is not a way to engender friendship," Kusnetzky said.
"SCO also need hardware backers, and theyve sued IBM, and HP has set up legal protection for its Linux customers against SCO legal actions. Theyve upset many customers and many of their partners, and thats not the equation for success.
"In the long run, if you look at the stream of revenue shrink and the cost of litigation rise, its hard to see how SCO can long continue."

"Fantastic recipe! It tasted like a fine-dining restaurant meal. The marinade enhanced the swordfish, didn't overpower it--came out soooo delicately delicious. I doubled the avocado in the butter recipe to make it healthier and it rocked! I grilled some asparagus along with the fish and added to butter to it too -- mmmmm, wonderful!"
"This is one of my favorite pork recipes. I use less oil, and low-fat sour cream and its delish! Comes out rich & moist every time, and super easy to make. I usually use red pepper instead of green bell peppers to give it a sweeter taste."
"This recipe was very tasty with all the spices, even thought I forgot to add the garlic & onion! I soaked it for 48 hrs, and injected as instructed. It was super moist, but a tad too salty. Next time I'll use just 3/4 cup salt or brine 24 hrs instead. Great recipe!"
"This was delicious.Very simple to prepare, with healthy ingredients. I added 2 tsp brwn sugar instead of 1.5, cut back a little on the lime juice, and it was perfect. Has a Thai taste to it."

Season of Sharing: Barbara Blumfield
Date: December 12, 2012
by: Nick Friedman | Community Editor
Each week through December, The Observer will feature a local donor who is involved with Season of Sharing, a 13-year, community-wide fundraising partnership created by The Community Foundation.
Barbara Blumfield has had a giving spirit since she was a child. She says that seeing her parents help friends and relatives move from Germany to the United States, to escape the Holocaust, inspired her to start helping people in any way possible, so she started donating to her temple and the Jewish Federation.
"That stuck in my mind the most," she says of her parents' generosity. "It just became the natural thing to do — the thing you wanted to do. My father was in a position in which he was lucky enough to have some money, and he wanted to be able to help those in need."
Born and raised in Chicago, Blumfield moved to Alton, Ill., a small town, which she says helped her be more aware of issues taking place on a local level.
She began visiting Longboat Key in 1993 as a snowbird, and she says it wasn't long before she fell in love with Sarasota's local arts scene and thriving culture, in which she became involved.
Despite its reputation as a relatively affluent area, Blumfield also realized that there were a lot of local families in need of help, and when she read about the Season of Sharing campaign in the newspaper, she saw an opportunity to put her giving nature to use.
"Season of Sharing caught my attention immediately," she says. "When I see the families, and I realize they're the ones being helped, there's a real one-to-one relationship. There's an opportunity to help right here in Sarasota."
Now, 10 years later, Blumfield continues to donate to the campaign annually. She says that though she's also involved in donating to the local arts scene, supporting organizations such as the opera, ballet and orchestra, the Season of Sharing campaign offers a unique philanthropic opportunity that keeps her donating each year.
"It's such a worthwhile cause," she says. "One hundred percent of the money goes to charity. It reaches so many so many people — it's beautiful."

Jason and Grant head to Trinway, Ohio to investigate an estate with a deadly past. Built in 1856, Prospect Place was known as a haven for runaway slaves during the Civil War era, but despite the good intentions of its builder, death has never been a stranger to this property. Today, there are many reports of paranormal activity that come from the now dilapidated barn on the property: a male figure can be seen walking back and forth on the 3rd floor; a shadow figure is seen lurking on the grounds around the barn; tapping sounds have been reported and some people claim to have been touched. In the basement, many people report seeing the figure of a woman sitting at the bottom of the steps, hearing a voice whisper their name, being pushed or touched or grabbed around the neck. The staff has seen apparitions of a woman walking on the stairwell between the 2nd floor and the ballroom; footsteps and voices have been heard coming from the empty floors of the main house and the sounds of singing and a harmonica being played can be heard in the hallways and stairs. Phantom smells of old perfume, cigars and cherry tobacco have all been reported. From there, TAPS comes to the aid of a Massachusetts family plagued by shadowy figures that haunt them throughout the day and night.

The 2010 Tannat Reserva is more generously fruited with good density, layered flavors, and ample spicy black fruits. It has enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years and will be at its best from 2013 to 2017.
(2/ 2012)
This big, muscular version of Tannat tends to show huge structure when recently released, occasionally at the expense of fruit and balance. That said, this 2010 is beginning to settle into a great drinking window. Big dark fruit flavors combine with smoky French vanilla, hints of cedar and minerals, all layering nicely upon each other to produce this powerful, yet balanced take on Tannat. Fruit from this wine comes from the winery's Melilla vineyard near Montevideo and its Las Violetas area plantings about 40 km north of Montevideo. (Joe Manekin, K&L South American wine buyer).

Housing Data Points To Rocky Rebound
WASHINGTON (AP) ¿ Sales of new homes rose more than 6 percent in October. But that was only because of strong results in the South.
Home prices rose in 11 major metro areas in September, but fell in nine. Home resales, meanwhile, were up nationwide, with the biggest gain in the Midwest.
Taken together, the data show that the housing market's recovery is still in its infancy and likely to be bumpy."We're muddling along the bottom of the housing cycle," said John Burns, a California-based real estate consultant. That mirrors the broader economy, which is emerging from the longest recession since the Great Depression. Reports Wednesday showed a decline in new jobless claims and an increase in consumer spending, while orders for costly manufactured goods fell unexpectedly. If the upward trend in housing continues, it would give the economic recovery more fuel. Spending on homebuilding and remodeling were an economic driver in the July-September quarter for the first time in nearly four years. During the housing bust, the building industry scaled back on construction to thin the glut of homes on the market. There were 239,000 new homes for sale at the end of October, the lowest inventory level in nearly four decades. At the current sales pace, that's a 6.7 months of supply, down from last winter's peak of more than a year, and a sign that builders may soon ramp up construction.

Radisson owner asks Village Board to move forward
Heyden says he wants to stay involved in hotel operations
Menomonee Falls - James Heyden, a principal owner in the Menomonee Falls Radisson Hotel, made a plea to the Village Board on Monday to help resolve issues all surrounding the management and finances of the hotel once and for all.
Heyden said he purchased the hotel in 2003 and worked with the village in the creation of a tax incremental finance district that the hotel is located in on Main Street. Heyden's plea came after Village Attorney Randall Crocker gave an announcement at the Nov. 19 board meeting, where he and trustees vowed to keep the hotel open.
The hotel has been at the center of litigation during the past year after the village provided a $17.65 million loan to the owner Lodging Investors LLC, which did not make its first two debt payments. As a result, the village filed a foreclosure suit in summer. A court-appointed receiver, Seth Dizard, has been in charge of hotel operations and monitoring finances during the past year.
Heyden said he could not comment on any litigation he is also involved in regarding the hotel. He did say, however, that he "took in some partners in the project that have caused major problems."
"Today, those partners are gone, some have not come even come to the site in the last year and a half and couldn't care less about the project," he said.
For all intents and purposes, Heyden said he is the last owner standing in the group and is working with Crocker over hotel management and finance issues. Crocker could not be reached for comment before NOW's press deadline.
Heyden said new opportunities have arisen to move the hotel forward.
"I would urge the Village Board to select a member to sit in on the ongoing negotiations and get the hotel issue resolved," he said. "I feel with my continued principal effort, it will make this hotel asset a success that is achieved only by a concerned owner's 24/7 interest and effort."
The Village Board could not comment on Heyden's statements Monday because he spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting.

I will rage if it doesn't come to the NA shores. Mostly because I've been wanting to get the game since it was announced.
Don't forget that it's the spiritual successor to Tail Concerto!
It'd feel so weird to be importing two games from Europe... (assuming that Xenoblade doesn't get a US release)
Hooray for a translation, at least. I've no problem importing it if I have to.
duuuude, dog drives giant robot! how could that fail in north america? EFFIN EH!
These are great news! I've been dying to get my hands on it since I saw the japanese trailer It seems they got a thing for the French accent but thats fine (Never played tail concerto though :O) I just wish they'd keep the theme songs the same cuz theyre awsome ^^
Y'know, I was looking for an excuse to buy this anyway.... Might as well be for an "import impression".
I just discovered that apparently this is a "DSi-enhanced" title, which means it's region locked if you're playing it on a DSi, XL, or 3DS. >:-(
At least my wife still has a DS Lite.
Well, if it doesn't come to North America, I know I'll be importing it for sure.
@Gaijin: You didn't think this one was potentially coming over at all?
Two words - Bandai Namco.
The two most evil words in the gaming industry.
They did a Sailor Moon ds game. My friends said it comes out in Italy soon, maybe NA next. I looked up the game saw who made it and told if she wants it, she won't be buying it here. She damned me for telling her that lol
What can I say, I like Sailor Moon.
They released like 3 or 4 Fma games in Japan. Sadly we only got one of them. Fma is only anime series, well besides dot hack, I play the games for. And that's because it's my favorite. I love the 2 ps2 Fma games a lot ore then some popular rpgs.. and that's because I love the show so much, controlling the chracters made it so much fun for me, plus seeing More things of them So wanting a Sailor Moo game is understandable
There's been a thread about Solatorobo on the "licence requests" section of Atlus's forum for quite some time. I'm not sure if Atlus is capable or willing to license other companies' DS games at this time...
That said, I imported Last Window, and it works on my original DS. So if I'm not broke, then someday soon I might import Solatorobo as well.
Atlus has worked on Namco games in the past (they brought over Summon Night: Twin Age), so there IS a chance. XSEED is a possibility too, having done Fragile Dreams and Retro Game Challenge. That said, Namco Bandai is extremely reluctant to hand over licensing rights for ANY of their properties, so I wouldn't count on seeing this in NA unless Namco decides to do it themselves.

OFS Capital Corporation Announces First Quarter 2013 Dividend And Financial Results For Year Ended December 31, 2012
OFS Capital Corporation (NASDAQ: OFS) ("OFS Capital" or the "Company") today announced its first quarter 2013 dividend and its financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2012 reflect the performance of the Company's predecessor, OFS Capital, LLC, prior to the Company's initial public offering ("IPO"), which was effective on November 7, 2012. Based on the Company's qualification to be treated as a business development company ("BDC") and related changes in accounting principles immediately following the completion of the IPO, the Company's consolidated results for the year ended December 31, 2012 may not be indicative of the results reported in future periods. In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Company has included in this press release consolidated results subsequent to its IPO from November 8, 2012 through December 31, 2012 (the "stub period").

Other Key Data Points
- On November 26, 2012, the Company declared fourth quarter 2012 dividend of $0.34 per share ($0.17 per share pro-rated for fifty-four days remaining in the quarter post-IPO). The dividend was paid in January 2013.
- The Company had net asset value ("NAV") of $14.80 per share as of December 31, 2012.
"I am pleased that, since the IPO of OFS Capital, we have been able to exploit the strategic benefit of our OFS Capital WM subsidiary to invest in senior secured floating rate assets during the stub period," said Glenn Pittson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OFS Capital Corporation. "These incremental assets have enhanced the earnings of OFS Capital while we continue to make progress on converting our investment in the Tamarix Capital Partners L.P. ("Tamarix LP") small business investment company ("SBIC") into a drop-down SBIC fund within OFS Capital, though work remains on obtaining the necessary approvals. As we enter what appears to be a new phase in the corporate credit cycle, we remain committed to prudent, thoughtful growth as we deploy capital, to preserve the investment entrusted to us by our shareholders.
