PHOENIX – A motorcyclist died after a collision with a pickup truck in Phoenix Tuesday evening.
According to police, the motorcycle was eastbound in the area of Elliot Road and 48th Street when it collided with a Dodge pickup truck that was making a southbound turn into a private drive at around 6:45 p.m.
The motorcycle rider was transported to a local hospital where he later died.
Phoenix police spokesman Officer James Holmes said the driver of the pickup was found not to be impaired and preliminary information indicates the motorcycle's speed may have been a factor.
No charges have been filed and the investigation is continuing.

Atlanta airport still busiest, but cargo down
While Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport retained its title of world's busiest airport during 2012, cargo was down for the year.
The airport's annual air cargo decreased by 2.52 percent – from 663,162 tonnes in 2011 to 646,481 tonnes in 2012. The cargo operations reflected a global decrease of consumer purchases and reduced manufacturing, according to airport officials.
Aviation officials reported passenger traffic increased by more than 3.1 million passengers in 2012, making 2012 the busiest year ever for the airport.
The 2012 total of 95.49 million passengers is 3.35 percent higher than the previous record of 92.39 million passengers, set in 2011. Aircraft operations (landings and takeoffs) increased by .68 percent – from 923,996 in 2011 to 930,310 in 2012. Domestic operations increased by .81 percent – from 855,215 to 862,101 in 2012.
Passenger traffic in December increased by 3.19 percent over December 2011 – from 7.21 million to 7.44 million. Aircraft operations decreased slightly by .82 percent over the same period – from 74,513 to 73,899. Air cargo decreased by 5.05 percent over that period – from 57,095 to 54,212.

I few weeks ago a friend told me X-23 had been identified as a lesbian, at last. I, naive enough, asked how did it happen, since I hadn't seen it nowhere, and then he showed me the Jubilee and Laura picture, where a vampiric ex-mutant is going for Laura's exposed throat. Funny story, I had just finished reading that same comic, and it never ocurred to me that the said picture was any indicative of her sexuality.
A similar situation happened when Cessily was referred as a 'gay cheerleader' in Pixie's dream world, in love with Laura's character inside the same dream dimension. On the same comic Cessily went on to clumsily land over Armor, and people stated it was obvious she was gay.
I know people tend to overthink things, and I usually don't approve of it, but hey! Here I am writting on this blog (this blog feature is awesome, by the way).
Laura and Cessily (two of my favorite characters) are quite interesting to see in this light, as they are both rather troubled and unique individuals, and that reflects everywhere in their personas, including in their sexuality. While Laura is a person without the moral restraints Cessily has, never having lived in society or anything resembling a normal childhood (with parents, friends, college, and such), Mercury was a popular cheerleader and chersished kid at home, to have it all snatched away from her with a quite traumatic mutation. All of a sudden her parents are ashamed of her, she can't be part of the cheerleader squad, she is the freak of the school, and all this pressure is put over shoulders that probably were never build to handle them. What tells us more about them, their characters, and their sexual choices: single panels or their upbringings?
Laura was raised in a very controlled enviroment, and it's quite safe to assume they didn't teach her to be heterossexual (it wouldn't be practical, to say at least, the less limitations she had, the better). As an instinctive person she has shown herself to be, at least in the beginning, I believe she would have no qualms in having relations with male or female, for as long as it arouses her. Honestly, I don't believe Laura to be gay, and if I had to pick a side, I would say she is strictly hetero. In her instincts I can see it being far easier to feel attracted to a male than a female, and things like 'mating' or 'having sex' making far more sense than making love or expressing her love through physical contact.
Cessily, on the other hand, was ripped from her natural enviroment abrupty and violently by her mutation, in an age she was busy discovering all the kinds of things about herself. If anything Mercury has a far less defined sexual orientation than Laura, because to X-23 it would be safe to assume she still feels aroused and desires physical contact (something most writters won't touch, and I understand), while Cessily is not even human. Maybe her desire to touch is solely based on a need to express her love, not to sate any biological urge. I can buy Cessily being gay or bi, and even being freaked out at being anything other than heterosexual (because she is driven by emotion and feeling, not urges or her body), but I believe it's something deeper than 'oh, teehee, the panel said it so!'. As Mercury ages she will start seeing things in a less biological prysm, and will start seeing people for who they are beneath the flesh, as things like gender might lose meaning completely to her. Or maybe she becomes super-facist about it, since she has to cling to every aspect of normalcry she can! That would be whack!
Panels won't really tell about these characters more than their stories and how they handle things do. Also... I don't know what people saw about that Jubilee-Laura panel. Crazy talks sprung over that! Wow!
I know I am late to speak about the subject, I just never really had an account before! Thanks for the time spent reading it!
That Old Same Thing! Again!
Well put
People did play the lesbo card too soon with Laura and Jubilee. When I read that issue I thought it was sad how Laura would use Jubilee to mutilate herself. I guess it didn't seem sexual to me because I kinda see Laura as the ultimate cold fish. You do bring upgood topics where her sexuality can go. Eventuly Laura's sexuality will be covered and hopefully the writer will make it interesting.
I think some people want Laura the poor abused killing machine to be gay, and saw the scene where Laura exposed her neck to Jubilee as evidence of that. Never mind the fact the Jubilee is now a vampire and freshly exposed blood could entice her to anyone's neck. Frankly I think some of the people who used that scene as evidence of their own theory are probably in the same group that think Twilight is a great work of literary fiction or the notion that drinking blood is sexy and cool. As for Laura, Cessily, and Jubilee I think its been established that they are attracted to men. Also with Daken being bi already I think it would be unnecessary for Laura to be bi or gay right now and not for the reason you might think. Laura is still young and is just coming to terms with being a person and not a monster. She can barely make friends let alone from a romantic relationship, gay or straight, there is still something between her and Julian but that is getting less and less attention as other writers have come and gone and he is dealing with his own mutilation.
Although I'm not going to delve into the vampire/Twilight territory, I think that the page with Jubilee and Laura was indeed a poor excuse used by people who wanted to see too much in what it obviously was: a vampire drinking blood from a suicidal teenager. Just that. I agree that Jubilee would have gone to anyone throat by that point.
Also, on Laura thinking herself as a monster instead of a person, I think it's spot on, and it's the same thing I think of Cessily. They both have difficult times finding out who and what they are, so romantic relationships and sexual orientation gets all the more complicated. I do wish, though, writers got back to writing Julian and X23. I miss that stuff, and I fear that it will be forgotten if left unattended for too long.
(I'm a bit late to the discussion :P)
I don't see how that makes any of them gay or bi, people tend to overreact. Cessily liked Wither (while he didn't correspond her) and Laura obviously is atracted by Julian. I think exposing the neck seems to be more about Laura being a bit masochist rather than her being attracted by Jubilee. Laura and Cessily are great friends but they aren't attracted by each other. Neither i see an attraction between Jubs and X.

X-23 is straight? When did this happen?
I think they definitely played up the homoerotic vibes between Jubilee and X-23 in some of the panels of the said blood-sucking scene, but I don't think that the scene outed either character as a lesbian/bisexual (nor do I think that was the intention). Homoerotic doesn't mean the same thing as homosexual. Both characters have expressed romantic/sexual interest only in male characters, which strongly suggests heterosexuality for both (but doesn't exclude the possibility of bisexuality). Either way, I don't think that the recent interaction between Jubilee and Laura has established anything about either character's sexual orientation. The neck-biting image just looked hot.
concepts such as sexuality do not apply to laura. if she were to find the right girl, she might fall in love. however, she is in love with julian keller, a guy, and there have been no hints to her being in love with a girl
Ah yes, the bite scene. X-23's intention on offering her blood was never really properly explained, in my opinion (it kinda seemed like a 'you look thirsty, have some of my blood' thing...), and neither of them engaged in romantic activity therein or otherwise. They're friends who've shown no obvious sexual interest in one another. Perhaps you should read the issue, it'd clear a lot of things up.
As for Mercury and X-23, you are aware the two of them are friends, right? Mercury has, on occasion, gone out of her way to try and help Laura out, usually by comforting her. They've shown no obvious signs of romantic interest in one another, as far as I know.
@rokusan23: I had high hopes for Liu's run, she loves the characters and banks on character development. Thing is... Laura's problems are personal and rooted on 'reality', while cosmic things tend to... well... I just can't see the mutant underage prostitute living in the same universe as Reed Richards.

By the time Dr. Richard H. Dubou brought his talents to Louisville Plastics, he had already racked up a string of accomplishments. His achievements included graduating cum laude from Brandeis University, earning his medical degree from State University of New York Downstate Medical Center, and serving as lieutenant commander of the United States Public Health Service at the Marine Hospital's surgery department in Galveston, Texas. Today, at Louisville Plastics, he oversees a staff of health and beauty specialists who help clients alter their outer appearances through elective surgery as well as less invasive measures, such as Radiesse injections, which reduce fine lines and increase skin's volume with a special formula.
At Digenis Plastic Surgery Institute, Alexander Digenis, MD, uses his wealth of knowledge in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery to perform advanced aesthetic procedures to enhance the skin, face, breasts, and body. An experienced staff assists him though these procedures. Chief among this staff is aesthetician Jessica Burnett, whose skincare services include laser hair removal, resurfacing chemical peels, and IPL laser treatments that zap away blemishes and spaceships double-parked outside the clinic.
Dr. Joseph Banis, a board-certified surgeon, leads a team of registered nurses and aesthetic specialists at his plastic-surgery and medical-skincare practice. This well-qualified crew tackles signs of aging with facial peels, injectables, and laser treatments, as well as surgical nips, tucks, and lifts. Noninvasive CoolSculpting body contouring aims to freeze fat cells for a more shapely physique, whereas traditional liposuction removes fat deposits from areas such as tummies, thighs, and vestigial tails.
Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery since 1999, Dr. Lee Corbett opened his own practice in 2003 where he focuses on cosmetic procedures. In addition to surgeries such as breast enhancement and body contouring, Dr. Corbett and his staff also perform noninvasive services such as facial peels to reduce skin damage, Botox to fight signs of aging, and laser tattoo removal.
Dr. Sandra Bouzaglou was drawn to her present career while on a plastic-surgery rotation at Loyola University in Chicago. There, she learned how cosmetic and reconstructive surgery could help improve patients' self-confidence. Dr. Bouzaglou's experience moved her to open Kentucky's first accredited outpatient plastic-surgery practice, The SurgiCenter, which is located within The Center for Plastic Surgery. Here, Dr. Bouzaglou and her medical team restore and enhance bodies by offering breast augmentation, leaving tummies flatter, and skin thinner with liposuction. The team also performs dramatic nonsurgical med-spa treatments, including laser hair removal, tattoo removal and micropigmentation with a VersaPulse laser, and fat-reducing contouring with CoolSculpting.
At Skin Chic, Dr. Waldman, Dr. Schantz, and Dr. Nimtz perform elective surgeries ranging from face-lifts to liposuction. They also lead a team of aesthetic specialists that improves appearances with less invasive strategies, such as facial peels and alerting clients to mustard on their collars. Lasers can be enlisted for a myriad of reasons, including tightening skin and fading unwanted tattoos.

Done too – see ya in the a.m.
No curves. Man-hands. Saggy and aged body. This is NOT a woman. Any money this is an aged MALE rocker. For example Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger, etc. You know they're crazy and wear girlish things sometimes — so it's probably one of them.
It must be Cate Blanchett.
that thing on her wrist looks like a tattoo….I know christina ricci has a pretty big tattoo on her wrist. and that swimming suit looks like something she would wear….I dunno–that's who I think it is
or kirsten dunst….she would definitely wear that bathing suit….no way it has to be her– she's pale white and has that pear shaped figure— it's either kirsten dunst or christina ricci..

Hey cool – I follow the Canucks a bit – usually pretty casual until we get in to Playoff season :-) I'll keep my eye open for the game against the Wings on Wednesday! Are you a Canucks or Wings fan?
Just Jared Says:
You mean you don't call it off as soon as someone gets it?? I thought the whole point was to let the thread run until someone got it – not have multiple people guessing the same person… or I would have thrown KIKI into the thread as well. I wondered why people were repeating names I had already guessed – now I'll know for next time! :-)
looks like Uma to me!!!

AirBridgeCargo, Fraport Cargo Services extend contract
AirBridgeCargo Airlines (ABC) has renewed its long-standing partnership with Fraport Cargo Services (FCS), an independent freight handler at Germany's Frankfurt Airport. Flying out of Frankfurt since 2005, ABC has employed FCS' cargo-handling services since 2008.
ABC currently operates 18 weekly freight flights from its Moscow hubs to Shanghai; Hong Kong; Tokyo-Narita; Beijing; Osaka, Japan; Almaty, Kazakhstan; and Seoul-Incheon.
To Ludwig Hamburger, ABC's regional director and vice president for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the decision to renew the contract was an easy one. "Over the last few years, we have worked together [with FCS] to steadily improve the handling processes in the interests of our customers," he said in a statement. "By extending our partnership, we have set the stage for us to continue growing at Frankfurt."
FCS Managing Director Winfried Hartmann also points to the benefits of this partnership. "In order to be ready for future growth, right now we are modernizing our import handling operation by enabling more efficient use of space and introducing IT-assisted storage and retrieval processes," he said in a statement. "We value ABC as a strategic partner and are very pleased by the trust in us that they have expressed with this decision."
ABS utilizes Boeing 747 freighters for shipments.

In Dublin town in nineteen sixteen a flame of freedom did arise.
A group of men with determination caught an empire by surprise
Through the streets our men were marching
They rallied with their hopes and fears
And the Enda boys came searching for their leader Padraig Pearse.
The poet and the Irish rebel a Gaelic scholar and a visionary
We gave to him no fitting tribute
When Ireland's at peace only that can be
When Ireland a nation, united and free.
On Easter morn he faced the nation from the steps of the G.P.O.
And read aloud the proclamation, the seed of nationhood to sow.
But soon the word had spread to London of an insurrection there at hand
And the deeds of Padraic Pearse was set about to free his land.
Chorus ...
For five long days the battle rages, for five long nights the battle wore
We will watch as Dublin City blazes and see our men fall through the floor
No Ireland's proud of her effort for her cause we fought with pride
But to save more life and to save our city, we make our peace with McFainis cried.
Chorus ...
Kilmainham Jail in 1916, they brought young Pearse
to his death cell and they tried him as a traitor to shoot this man who dared to rebel
He only tried to free his country of the shackles of 800 years.
When dawn did break on that May morning they shot our Leader Padraic Pearse.

How Will Verizon Communications (VZ) Stock React To Its 2014 Second Quarter Results?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ - Get Report) are up 0.53% to $50.97 in pre-market trading on Tuesday after the company reported an increase in earnings per share to $1.01 for the 2014 second quarter, compared to 73 cents per share for the same period last year.
Verizon posted an increase in adjusted EPS to 91 cents, from 73 cents for the 2013 second quarter.
Total operating revenue increased 5.7% to $31.5 billion for the most recent quarter, over the second quarter of 2013.
Must Read: Warren Buffett's 25 Favorite Stocks
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expected Verizon to report earnings per share of 90 cents on revenue of $31.12 billion, RTT News reports. Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC as a Buy with a ratings score of B. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC (VZ) a BUY. This is driven by some important positives, which we believe should have a greater impact than any weaknesses, and should give investors a better performance opportunity than most stocks we cover. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, notable return on equity, expanding profit margins, compelling growth in net income and impressive record of earnings per share growth. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated."

I got a BIG SHOCK. All my cards in 2006 Topps reverted back to zero in all columns. Also about 75% of the cards Said BUY Pricing. Whats up with this. Am I going to have to refill all the columns with the counts I have for each card. Or can this be fixed from the system end. Really concerned about this one.

"I normally do not shortcut a recipe the first time but I felt that I have made enough chicken soup that it would be fine this time. I used a roasted chicken from the store and a good quality box chicken stock to cut down on the time, everything else I kept the same. I have to say this came out just as good if not better than a soup that had been simmering..."

The number of financial institutions that stepped forward to say their
customers' credit or debit cards were compromised because of the
Heartland Payment Systems (HPY) data breach has now reached more than
Little more than a month ago, on Jan. 20, Heartland, a Princeton,
NJ-based payments processor, went public that it had discovered hackers
had gained access to its computer networks and had been able to see
credit card and debit card numbers as they were processed for several
months in 2008. The nation's sixth largest payments processor, Heartland
said it processed an average of 100 million transactions each month in
2008, and has about 175,000 retail and merchant customers for which it
handles credit and debit transactions across the U.S.
Three customer class action suits have been filed in U.S. Federal Court
in New Jersey against the payments processor by Philadelphia-based law
firms. No class action suit on behalf of institutions affected by the
breach has been filed yet.
Three men were arrested and charged with using "cloned" or counterfeit
cards with stolen credit card numbers from the Heartland breach in
Tallahassee, FL earlier this month, but no further arrests have been
made in the case. The three men arrested in the Florida fraud case were
described as lower-level players, but law enforcement continues to
follow the trail of fraud and credit cards stolen in the Heartland
breach that have been used in Mexico, Texas, Florida and other states.

text: Main page [[TroperWorks/ObsidianRhapsody here]]. '''''Obsidian Rhapsody''''' is an RPG that [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructs]] the EasternRPG. Since there are LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, it gets its own character sheet. A character sheet which is incomplete, for the moment.Spoilers ahead. Though that warning probably doesn't matter, seeing as the spoilers are covered up anyway.!!'''Main Characters''''''Tau Marxus'''\\An extremely cynical 38-year-old "ex-hero" who led a team of heroes that defeated an evil sorcerer named Axos; however, in the battle that finally killed Axos off for good, Tau lost his love interest, Celeste, a member of the team of heroes. As a result, Tau gradually became extremely cynical. After saving the world, and disappearing into obscurity with the other surviving heroes, Tau became a hermit on the outskirts of the town of [[DoomedHomeTown Dohoto]], where he was generally despised by the populace because of his {{Jerkass}} tendencies. He also contracted the White Death around three years ago, and since there isn't a cure, Tau goes off with Eiolis Forge and Septimus Roth, both former squadmates of his, to find out how the White Death was caused. He is technically the game's main protagonist, as the game starts from his perspective and he is often used as a narrator of sorts; however, he is not TheHero, not in the slightest.* BaldOfAwesome* CynicalMentor - To some of the younger party members.* GrumpyBear* GrumpyOldMan - Despite his age. Other characters consistently note that he hasn't aged well; he looks about 50. It should also be noted that, somehow, the other members of the old party - with the exceptions of Niphil (who looks 64 and ''is'' 64) and Pip (aged 38, doesn't look young but doesn't look old either) - look young for their age.* {{Jerkass}}* ShellShockedSenior* SourSupporter* SupportingProtagonist* TrueNeutral'''Eiolis Forge'''\\An ex-soldier and former member of Tau's Axos-beating team of heroes, she now runs a private mercenary company with fellow ex-hero Septimus Roth. She had a relatively upper-class upbringing within the city of Imperium, badly-named capital of the Amanian Empire; she rejected this upbringing and joined the army, rising to the rank of sergeant at a stupidly premature age before ditching the army to join Tau in his quest to vanquish Axos.\\She is also known for being rather brutal and pragmatic in combat, as well as ''extremely'' protective of the younger party members. You do not want to hurt the younger party members when she is present. She doesn't like that.* ActionGirl* BerserkButton - Hurt any of the young ones, and you're dead. [[spoiler:This is what causes Rimbeaux's death at the end.]]* CombatPragmatist* DefectorFromDecadence* FriendOnTheForce - Before the "adventures" of the old party, Eiolis was this to Tau. Well, at least, she would be if you replaced "force" with "army".* GenreSavvy* LadyOfWar* MamaBear* OneeSama* [[strike:RebelliousPrincess]] [[RebelliousPrincess Rebellious Upper-Class Girl]]* TeamMom'''Septimus Roth'''\\A former member of Tau's team of heroes, he is a [[TokenMinority large black man]] and expert swordsman who was initially (during the "old party" days) Tau's bitter rival before joining his side. Now, he runs a private mercenary company with fellow burnt-out hero Eiolis. He is the most typically heroic of the "new party", and even [[spoiler:becomes the team's leader once Quentin leaves the role believing himself to be incompetent]]. Although a NiceGuy, his idealism often gets trampled on by "the cynical ways of the world".* AFatherToHisMen* BadassLongcoat* MasterSwordsman* NeutralGood* NiceGuy* SoulBrotha* SupportingLeader* TheFettered* TheHero* TheKirk* TokenMinority'''Quentin Crane'''\\The [[spoiler:initial]] de facto leader of the party, a "trainee wizard" and former student at the Wizard Academy (the actual name; [[{{Handwave}} wizards aren't particularly imaginative]]). * BadassBookworm* LawfulNeutral* SquishyWizard* TeamDad - [[spoiler:Until he gets removed from the position of leadership by Septimus.]]* TheCareTaker - For Reiko.

He doesn't really have a race to speak of, but apart from that he fits the trope.* TheSpock* TheStoic'''Tulip Abercrombie'''* LittleMissBadass* {{Meganekko}}* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness* TheMcCoy* TheRedMage* TheSmartGuy* UnluckyChildhoodFriend* WiseBeyondTheirYears'''Masler Diggory'''* ButtMonkey* [[spoiler:[[KingIncognito Emperor Incognito]]]]* [[spoiler:EmperorScientist]]* {{Garfunkel}}* JadedWashout* SadClown* UnluckyEverydude'''Judas Darkfrost'''* ChaoticGood* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]* NotGoodWithPeople* OldSoldier* SourSupporter* TheEeyore* TheLancer - Literally.'''Phoebe Bossus'''* {{Bokukko}}* ColdSniper - With a bow rather than a gun.* EmotionlessGirl* GeniusDitz* LiteralMinded* MultipleHeadCase - With Caitlyn.* TheRainman* TeenGenius'''Caitlyn Riverdale'''* BrattyTeenageDaughter* CityMouse* DeadpanSnarker* LonelyRichKid* MultipleHeadCase - With Phoebe.* WrenchWench'''Sonja Stormheim'''* [[LastOfHisKind Last Of Her Kind]] - Along with her older brother Raven, she's the only Stormheim left.* SarcasticDevotee* {{Shorttank}}* TheScrounger* TheSlacker* TheSnarkKnight* TheUnfavourite* {{Tsundere}}'''Leon Orion'''* TheBerserker* BeastMan* BloodKnight - The reason Leon decides to join the party after first being introduced.* DeathSeeker - Another reason he joins the party. [[spoiler:Unlike Raven, he succeeds.]]* NobleWolf- Meant to ''apear'' to be honourable type of wolf while truly being the [[SavageWolves savage type]].* SmallNameBigEgo* TrueNeutral'''Atlas Shrugg Jr.'''* {{Bishonen}}* GeniusBruiser - Well, he's not a genius, exactly, but he certainly isn't dumb... which means he's not really an example of this trope, but who cares? It's the closest I can get.* NeutralGood* NewMeat* PintsizedPowerhouse* TheBigGuy'''Ghoto Anansi'''* (Accidental) DefectorFromDecadence* DirtyCoward* DoomedDefeatist - When things aren't going well for him.* GentlemanThief - When things are going well for him.* HeelFaceTurn - How he ends up joining the party.* NeutralEvil* [[spoiler:RedemptionEqualsDeath]]* SharpDressedMan* SmugSnake - Once again, when things are going well for him.* TokenEvilTeammate'''Julian Rogham'''* BadassPreacher* GoodSamaritan* {{Hallucinations}} - Of his dead family.* LawfulGood* ThePhilosopher'''Isis Katz'''* CatGirl* ChaoticNeutral* ConstantlyCurious* DeadAllAlong - She was "brought to the world of the living" by the Pact to aid the party (since the Pact couldn't spend all their time looking after your team). Although she appears alive, she is actually, genuinely dead - a zombie, if you will. Just not a mindless one. [[spoiler:This reveal does not count as a spoiler, because it's pretty much revealed once you meet her in the game.]]* GenkiGirl* [[spoiler:UnwittingPawn]]* {{Yandere}}'''Raven Stormheim'''* BigBrotherInstinct* DeathSeeker - See below.* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice - He tries to do this near the end, and is initially presumed to be dead before he returns, unharmed, for the final bossfight, having failed to get himself killed (though his "sacrifice" ''did'' help somewhat).

At the beginning of Kraft Nabisco Championship week, it emerged that Ai Miyazato and Jiyai Shin have a mathematical chance of over-taking No.1 Lorena Ochoa. Now comes another name, Suzann Pettersen. One would have to assume Pettersen's chances are slim at best, and would no doubt require a faltering from Ochoa. But a first-round 67 has done Norway's Female Athlete of the Year no harm in her quest. We're told by the stat gurus that if the tournament had ended after Round 1, Pettersen would have moved to second, with Ochoa remaining at the helm.
The LPGA needs a little help from Lady Luck these days. A fight for the world's No. 1 spot, which will most likely last all season, will be a very nice sub-plot to the 2010 season.

AVIC has issued a tender to global suppliers for work on its MA700 turboprop programme and received bids from interested parties.
The Chinese airframer is evaluating its options and will decide on which suppliers it will work with by early next year, its vice-president for international business Chen Guanjun tells Flightglobal Pro at the Aviation Expo in Beijing.
He adds that the government has given its approval for the project and AVIC is now targeting to achieve type certification for the turboprop from the Civil Aviation Administration of China by 2018. Simultaneously, it will also pursue certification from either the US Federal Aviation Administration or the European Aviation Safety Agency to ensure that the turboprop meets international standards.
The baseline model of the MA700 will have 70 seats, which AVIC believes is well-suited for the China and Southeast Asia market. It is aware that several airframers have expressed their intentions to build larger 90-seat turboprops, and that it also intends to compete in that market.
"When the markets mature and there is a demand for the turboprops on higher density routes, we will stretch the aircraft to 90 seats," says Chen, adding that this should come a year or two after the baseline model.
Besides a higher seat capacity, the MA700, compared to its predecessors the MA60 and MA600, will have a new fuselage, wings and also improved systems and engines.
"This will be a brand new aircraft, not just an upgrade of the MA600," says Chen.
He adds that AVIC also aims to differentiate the MA700 from the ATR72, by improving the turboprop's comfort, costs and speed. Though dimensions for the upcoming turboprop are not available, pictures on its pamphlet shows that the MA700's main landing gear extending gear extends from the aircraft's fuselage and it also has a T-tail, similar to the ATR 72.
"In future, the ATR 72 will be our competitor. It already has a good market share. If we don't improve on efficiency, systems and speed, we won't be able to compete," says Chen.
A model of the MA700 was featured prominently at the AVIC stand at the Aviation Expo.
The MA600 and its predecessor, the MA60, have been sold mostly to airline customers in developing countries in Asia and Africa. The MA700 is likely to compete with the ATR 72-500/600 and Bombardier Q400 in the larger turboprop passenger aircraft market.
In its 2013-2032 market outlook for civil aircraft in China, AVIC says it expects demand for about 2,500 turboprops in the 60-99 seat range over the next 20 years. This is because they are cost-efficient on short routes, especially when the fuel price is high.
"We will target the global market with our MA700. But we believe that Africa and South Asia will have great potential because they have a lot of islands where turboprop operations are most suitable," says Chen.

the banana rocker in theory sounds like a good idea. but it just dosnt perform on the mountain. the worst thing i found on this board is the magnatraction. i actually found if harder and sketchier to link turns. it cant even handle the basics. it handled ok in the park but it washes out on landings. trading this in to get a Ride Machete. i really woundnt recomend this board but hey if its ur thing, go for it.
i don't know man... magnatraction gives you great edge hold and i have no problem whatsoever linking turns with it with proper technique
any flexy park board is gonna wash out on landings if your looking for a board for big jumps or all mountain board don't get a skate banana, get a T Rice

(Reuters) — An Israeli man was arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of hacking Madonna's computer and selling the pop icon's songs online, a private investigator involved in the case said.
Israeli police confirmed they had detained a man suspected of stealing the work of a number of international stars, but declined to name any of the possible victims.
In December, unfinished tracks were leaked from Madonna's "Rebel Heart" album before its release, an act the singer described as "artistic rape" in a post, later deleted, from her Instagram account.
Asher Wizman, owner of the Wizman-Yaar investigation firm in Israel, said Madonna's team contacted his company several weeks ago to look into the matter after rumors of an Israeli connection to the leak.
The recent Sony hack has left plenty of destruction in its path.
Yet, it also unveiled some incredibly random and hilarious information that we never knew we wanted (and I would argue, still aren't sure we really need). Like the following chain e-mail correspondence about the war in Gaza, sent to prominent Jewish figures, Sony execs and celebrities like Scarlett Johansson, Russell Simmons, Natalie Portman and…Ryan Seacrest?
On Aug 29, 2014, at 1:29 PM, "Ryan Kavanaugh" wrote:

My Grandmother told me over and over again remember no one believed it could happen and everyone thought the government would not allow it to. It took 5 years before the us stepped in, and 12 million dead.
If you pull newspapers from pre Hollacast it seems eerily close to our world today.

I'm a Tolkienite and a lover of everything hobbit. There, I said it.
As a child, I read — and reread — all the hobbit-related books, painted the Misty Mountains, set a Tolkien poem to music, and played the "Lord of the Rings" Risk board game whenever I got the chance. Theoden's speech at the Battle of Pelennor Fields, playing on loop, gave me the courage to write my senior thesis in college ("Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise, Riders of Theoden!"). Now I read the series over again almost every year.
For Jewish hobbit folk like me, this is a big week: "The Battle of the Five Armies" is hitting theaters — and on Hanukkah, no less.
Here are 7 Jewish reasons why you should join me in seeing the end of Bilbo's quest on the silver screen:
When I was a child, my father read two books to me before bedtime: the Book of Joshua and "The Hobbit." I loved both books and pleaded with him to keep reading long after I should have gone to sleep. The two have become muddled in my mind — and with good reason: both describe great battles (the Battle of the Five Armies and the Battle of Jericho, for starters), magical wizard leaders (Joshua and Gandalf, duh), treasure hunts, and — most importantly — exiled peoples reclaiming their lands.
The Chinese government has agreed to send two giant pandas to a zoo in Israel.
The gift will be conferred on the Haifa zoo if Chinese panda experts agree that the conditions in the zoo will be appropriate for the animals, according to Haaretz, including providing the appropriate food, which is a certain kind of bamboo. The zoo must also build a special habitat for the pandas.
A delegation from the Haifa zoo must also visit China to observe the rare animal, which is considered an endangered species.
The Israeli Google homepage pays tribute to Ofra Haza
Israelis visiting the Google homepage today got a fun surprise, in the form of a Google Doodle dedicated to the one and only Ofra Haza.
Haza, a famous Israeli singer of Yemenite Jewish heritage, died in 2000 of AIDS-related pneumonia. She was 42. Today would have been her 57th birthday.
Sometimes called "the Madonna of the East," Haza was known for her unique fusion of Eastern and Western musical traditions — a style that managed to charm audiences in both Israel and Arab countries. Israeli musical heavyweights like Naomi Shemer and Ehud Manor contributed to her albums, and she later collaborated with everyone from Paula Abdul to Iggy Pop to Michael Jackson. In 1983, she won second place in the Eurovision Song Contest.
My favorite Haza single is "Im Nin'alu," which became a huge international hit back in the eighties. This is the Haza I like best — her early stuff, the very strongly Yemenite-inflected music, from before she started singing in a more commercial Israeli vein.
The lyrics — "Even if the gates of the rich are locked, the gates of heaven are never locked" — are taken from a poem by 17th-century Rabbi Shalom Shabazi, and always make me think of the ancient rabbinic saying, "Even if the gates of heaven are locked, the gates of tears are never locked." Haza's use of the flipped phrase reminds me of her modest upbringing: Before she became a world-famous singer, Haza was the youngest child in a Mizrahi family of nine, growing up in one of Tel Aviv's poorest neighborhoods.
Watch, enjoy, and join me in laughing at the way Haza's producers (for some inexplicable reason) felt the need to roll the credits exactly halfway through the music video.
(JTA) — Jon Stewart is no stranger to harsh criticism. Some Jews have called him a self-hater, while the Iranian media has painted him as a Mossad agent. But "The Daily Show" host wasn't on the receiving end Tuesday when he dished out some tough love to his fellow Jews.
In an interview with Canada.com to promote his new movie, "Rosewater," the Jewish comedian commented on a number of things he found "troubling" with Judaism and the Jewish state.
"It's so interesting to me that people want to define who is a Jew and who is not. And normally that was done by people who weren't Jewish but apparently now it's done by people who are," Stewart said. "And you can't observe [Judaism] in the way you want to observe. And I never thought that that would be coming from brethren. I find it really sad, to be honest."
He went on to describe certain Jewish behavior as "fascistic."
Asked whether he could criticize Israel, Stewart's answer was a resounding "No." Although that's not a new revelation.
Looks like Professor Sprout has stepped out of the Hogwarts greenhouse — right into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Miriam Margolyes, who played the matron of the Hogwarts greenhouses and Head of Hufflepuff house in the "Harry Potter" franchise, spoke out about the recent war in Gaza to Radio Times, a British television and radio magazine.
According to Haaretz, the actress, who was raised Jewish and grew up in a Jewish household in Britain, said, "I loathe Hamas, but they were democratically elected and Israel's behavior is not acceptable."
Margolyes observed that, "there's been a troubling backlash" against Jews as a result of Operation Protective Edge.
In Belgium and France, rioters shouted "Death to Jews!" In Germany it was, "Gas the Jews!"
Britain itself saw a fivefold increase in calls to the country's anti-Semitic hotline. July alone saw 240 calls, up from the previous average of roughly 50 a month in the first half of 2014.
"Anti-Semitism is horrible," Margolyes said, "and can't be defended, but Israel is stupid for allowing people to vent it," she said.
"I don't think many people like Jews," she added.
But don't worry, it's not all bad. After all, Margolyes continued, "I'm lucky they like me, and one always needs a Jewish accountant."
Maybe someone should lay off the mandrake potion from now on…
New York's favorite hipster photographer, Brandon Stanton, founder of Humans of New York (or HONY, to those in the know!), just published a selection of portraits from his recent "unscheduled side trip" to Israel.
The photos, posted on his Humans of New York Facebook page, are no different than his other work: they are not politically driven — they just capture a snapshot of regular people's lives. Israelis and Palestinians shared their hopes and dreams with Stanton as he roamed in and around Jerusalem.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had lunch in a Midtown Manhattan restaurant hosted by casino mogul Sheldon Adelson following his address at the United Nations General Assembly.
The lunch for five people required ever customer of the restaurant to enter through a metal detector, Page Six reported.
Netanyahu arrived at the restaurant, Fresco by Scotto, with some 30 security guards, the New York Post's gossip page reported Monday. It also reported that the prime minister ordered veal chops.
Queen Bey, meet Bibi.
A J Street campaign called "Put a Border on It" is applying Beyonce's admittedly flawless rhetoric to the Israeli Palestinian conflict.
The organization has been tweeting out a poster advertising their petition calling on Benjamin Netanyahu to halt settlement expansion in the West Bank. The slogan plays on the chorus from "All the Single Ladies" which goes "if you like it then you should have put a ring on it," replacing it with "if you like it you should have put a border on it."
"Countries should only build within their recognized borders," the petition reads. "Instead of announcing new settlements, Israel should announce its commitment to peace: offer a serious proposal for a secure border between Israel and Palestine, recognized by the entire world. Israel needs peace; the Palestinians need a state. It's time to put a border on it."

Hiring? Shimon Peres is your man.
A newly released video (in Hebrew with English subtitles) from the Peres Center for Peace has the former president seeking help from an unemployment office.
Turns out, the 91-year-old shows an impressive range of skills. from pumping gas to pizza delivery, with a skydiving session or two thrown in for good measure. Given his ability to perform these tasks with a straight face, we would settle for a Shimon Peres TV show (with your host, "Shimi P!")
The clip, while silly and — at times— actually funny, also offers not-so-subtle messages showcasing Peres' insights on everything from Israeli technology to the peace process.
Watch the full clip below:
Watch out, Netanyahu. You've got company.
Mandy Patinkin, star of the hit TV series "Homeland," announced Tuesday night that he wants to be Israel's next prime minister. Patinkin delivered the news while promoting the new season of "Homeland" on the set of the "Colbert Report."
"I am going to tear a page out of your book…and I'm going to enter myself to be possibly elected as the new prime minister of Israel," Patinkin told host Stephen Colbert, who himself launched a failed bid for president in 2008. He said plans to run in order to "balance my participation in this world for however long I might have left to be in it."
Patinkin, who is known for his dovish views on Israel, invited the ostensibly hawkish Colbert to become his security advisor. "The combination of the two might calm the region into, on occasion, laughing at itself," said the man better known as revenge-obsessed Inigo Montoya.

Lady Gaga issued a short video in advance of her performance in Tel Aviv, greeting her fans with "Shalom."
"Shalom, Israel," the American pop star said in the 10-second video. "I'm so excited to perform my new tour in Tel Aviv."
The performer's manager announced Sunday that the Sept. 13 concert would go on as planned, despite cancellations by other high-profile performers due to the Gaza conflict and its aftermath.
The video, which reportedly has gone viral online elicited angry responses from some of her Arab fans, Al Arabiya News reported.
Fans in social media platforms called her "disgusting," "devilish" and insensitive, in response to the video. The date for the concert in Yarkon Park, part of her "artRave: The ARTPOP Ball" international tour, is listed on Lady Gaga's official website.
Tickets remain on sale and tens of thousands of Israeli fans are expected to attend.
Neil Young, The Backstreet Boys, America and Lana Del Rey are among the stars who canceled performances this summer due to Israel's conflict with Gaza.
Lady Gaga performed in Tel Aviv in August 2009, despite of attempts by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement to have her cancel.

It takes a certain set of skills to make it in New York, and when Eitan Baron moved to the Big Apple in 2000, he definitely didn't have it.
Picking up a suitcase and moving from Azor, Israel, to try his luck at selling oil paintings in Florida was not quite what Baron wanted to do with his life. Also, not knowing English made him a terrible salesman. So he relocated up to New York to try his luck at moving furniture for local Israeli companies. He even worked for Moishe's Moving & Storage for a few days. He was determined to make it.
Then a Judaism seminar organized by Orthodox Jews in Monsey, New York, turned his luck around. Baron, 36, went to yeshiva for 10 days in exchange for an opportunity to work for a construction company. He did everything from cleaning constructing sites to learning all there is to know about home improvement from Home Depot guidebooks.
One opportunity led to another, and before long Baron was buying up historic Brooklyn brownstones and renovating them with environmentally friendly materials and methods, paving the way for his development company, Greenstones. And the rest, as Baron says, is history.
The Forward's Maia Efrem spoke with Baron about his humble beginnings and his long road toward the American dream.
Maia Efrem: Can you tell me about your entry into development and construction?
Eitan Baron: I got to America in the year 2000. I didn't speak English and couldn't find a job, so the quickest way to make money and find work was to use my hands. I was pretty handy, so I worked for someone in the construction industry for about six months, doing anything from cleaning to painting. Two years after that I met a person who was connected to large real estate developers who said let's do something together. So in 2002 we opened a construction company together. Real estate was booming in New York.
I was living in Park Slope and I was into the environment, and I just saw a growing demand for family-friendly homes, and anyone who comes to Brooklyn hears about Brooklyn brownstones. And once you buy a brownstone, you realize it's old with a lot of things to fix.
I saw Park Slope as a beautiful place to buy something small. I decided to turn one brownstone into three environmentally friendly units. So the name came: Greenstone.

Russell Brand wants you to know he's not an anti-Semite.
In light of accusations made by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach in the New York Observer on Monday that Brand is an "Israel hater," the British comedian has written an essay in the Huffington Post explaining his side of things.
Being Russell Brand, the piece opens with an anecdote about drugs — at a Passover Seder, no less.
The year is 1992, I am 16 years old. It is Pesach, the Jewish feast of Passover; I am in Frinton On Sea, Essex, with the Hirsch family at the evening meal. Wine is drunk, there are incantations and Torah readings, my mate Matt's little sister is beautiful, the sense of family unity and tradition is also beautiful.
Me and Matt, now obediently sat in those little hats, kippahs they're called, had dropped some acid earlier in the evening and the whole thing suddenly gets a bit too much. Matt's dad is sort of singing in Hebrew, the old bloke they invite every year from down the street, is smiling with cardigan kindness, Matt's sister is still beautiful, and of course, there's the acid. I am overwhelmed by melancholy and, oddly guilt, at the holocaustal images that lysergically zip through my sad and lively mind and I, in front of everyone, begin to weep.
Brand continues: "I am at my first Pesach with a lovely family and feel personally responsible for the holocaust; I think that constitutes 'a bad trip.'"

(JTA) — Over the past month, a viral sensation has flooded the Internet: the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, in which people post on social media videos of themselves dumping buckets of ice water over their heads to raise awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the neurodegenerative disease colloquially known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
The challenge — which requires anyone who undertakes it to nominate someone else — was inspired by 29-year-old former athlete Peter Frates, who suffers from ALS. It has spread from his Boston peers to police chiefs, celebrities, and pop stars, helping the ALS Foundation raise millions of dollars. Not bad for what's essentially a giant digital game of freeze tag.
Jewish celebrities — from Adam Levine to Mark Zuckerberg — have enthusiastically taken up the cause.
(Appropriately enough, given that her name means "water" in Hebrew, actress Mayim Bialik also took up the challenge. )
But the phenomenon moved into the political arena last weekend when Justin Bieber nominated President Obama to douse himself in ice.
Even without a personal invitation from the Bieb, pols in Israel have begun taking up the challenge. Two members of Knesset have videoed themselves speaking about ALS awareness, then succumbing to buckets of ice — probably just about tolerable in August in Israel.
Yesh Atid Knesset member Dov Lipman, in a full suit, announces in both Hebrew and English that he's "bringing the challenge to the Knesset," and challenges three other MKs to take part as well.
How about a side of Hitler with your pasta?
Taiwan restaurant owner Tsao Ya-sin caused quite an uproar when she unveiled her latest Italian special: "Long Live Nazi Spaghetti."
Why the Third Reich theme? Tsao explains that the dish has German sausage in it.
Tsao was also quoted as saying that she just "wanted to get customers attention" — but sharp reprimands from both the Israeli and German embassies in Taiwan was probably not was Ya-sin had in mind.
What's more, the dish has apparently been on the menu since Rock Hill's grand opening — last year. But don't worry: In light of the controversy, the dish has been renamed to "World Champion Spaghetti" — in honor of Germany's World Cup victory.

Russell Brand is no stranger to controversy. Between calling out Hugo Boss as a Nazi during a GQ gala and calling Fox News' Sean Hannity a "terrorist," the British comedian has certainly made his fair share of enemies.
Now, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach has joined the chorus of haters. In an op/ed published in The New York Observer today, Boteach denounced Brand's call to boycott Israel over the war in Gaza.
He probably would have been more effective had he focused less on Brand's past struggles with addiction, and more on rebutting the comedian's claims and arguments.
"So Russell Brand has joined the league of those demanding a boycott of Israel," Boteach writes. "I'm going to go soft on him because of all the personal problems he's had, with multiple addictions, 12 arrests for drug possession, rehab for sexual compulsion, and two arrests for attacking paparazzi taking pictures of him."
Okay. So, Brand is a disgusting person. Does that make his opinion worthless, regardless of whether or not one agrees with him?
Boteach continues:
A moral beacon he isn't. A light unto the nations? Fugggetaboutit. And I commend Russell for making no pretensions to being anything other than what he is. A comical, messed up, confused clown. There is something redemptive about his honesty that ought to be commended. Russell Brand belongs to a new, self-declared showbiz genre: the celebrity as moral idiot. And if he has such low expectations for himself, why should we make the mistake of elevating Mr. Brand and his fellow ethical imbeciles by taking him seriously?
Still not seeing any actual rebuttal to Brand's claims that banks like Barclays "facilitate the oppression of people in Gaza." Rather, Boteach continues in this vein of personal attacks on Brand's drug use, "fried neurons," relationships, messy divorce with Katy Perry — you name it.
One particular jab, implying "that he's not exactly the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree," manages to snub Christianity as a whole.
Boteach makes the point that some Hollywood celebrities do have the right to speak. Like Sean Penn, whom his organization honored last May.
Calls to boycott Israel should be scrutinized and argued. With arguments. Facts. Not personal attacks about how someone's salacious past renders them unfit for any future brain activity.

(Reuters) — Amal Alamuddin, the British-Lebanese lawyer engaged to George Clooney, was named with two other experts experts to an international commission of inquiry into possible human rights violations and war crimes committed by both sides during Israel's military offensive in the Gaza Strip.
Alamuddin will join William Schabas, a Canadian professor of international law and Doudou Diene, a veteran U.N. human rights expert from Senegal.
The independent team will investigate "all violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law … in the context of the military operations conducted since 13 June 2014," the U.N. statement said.
A month of war, marked by Israeli air strikes on Gaza and rockets fired by Hamas militants into Israel, has killed 1,938 Palestinians and 67 Israelis while devastating wide tracts of densely populated Gaza.
The panel is due to report by March 2015 to the U.N. Human Rights Council. Israel has long accused the 47-member state forum of bias against it.

Soldiers serving in combat units in the Israel Defense Forces are now being asked to make another sacrifice: donating their sperm.
Israeli parents seeking sperm donors at the Rambam Medical Center have shown a noticeable preference for the sperm of combat soldiers in the wake of the Gaza conflict.
In recent weeks, nearly half of the women seeking sperm at Rambam's sperm bank have requested the sperm of combat soldiers, according to a statement by the sperm bank.
"Women seeking sperm donors build an ideal profile in their head of the father of their future child," said Dina Aminpour, head of the Rambam Medical Center's sperm bank. "The Gaza military operation and the tales of the bravery of the IDF soldiers served to clarify the personality traits which were important to those requesting donations."
But the patriotism isn't the reason parents are flocking to combat soldiers' sperm; the soldiers' genetics play a role, too. Women assume that combat soldiers will be "fit, healthy, resilient and determined, among several other important attributes," according to Aminpour.
When it comes to recruiting donors, Israeli sperm banks often feel like they're swimming upstream. The sperm bank at Rambam Medical Center, the largest hospital in northern Israel, is facing a major shortage of donors, and reported having only 10 donors as of last month.
Only 10% of potential donors qualify for the sperm bank, thanks in part to low sperm quality, according to Dr. Shachar Kol, director of Rambam's artificial insemination clinic. The sperm bank is using the news of spike in demand for combat soldiers' to put out a call for more donors. "[T]he center itself is suffering from a shortage in quality donations, and is desperately looking to recruit more men to donate," the sperm bank said in its announcement.
It wouldn't be the first time the sperm bank has taken a clever approach to recruiting donors. About three years ago, it teamed up with a local graphic design school to produce snazzy advertisements aimed at male college students.
The results were both humorous and shocking. "Think you're God's gift to women? Prove it," one ad reads. Another shows a box of tissues, along with the phrase "It's in your hands." In a third, the words "Giving sperm: it's a lot more pleasant than giving blood," appear next to a winking baby.
