Everything about nuclear power is crazy. It takes years to build it, it takes years to demolish it and all reactors have a limited lifetime before they do break. Worst of all, it only takes a handful of politicians to reduce the safety of a plant and cause a catastrophic event.
The great thing about green electricity is that you can waste it on anything you like. A more powerful CPU and GPU for example, cooled by thermoelectric cooling of course. The only downside of green electricity is the amount of neodymium needed by the generators.

Happy Sunday once again everyone, here I am with the weekly box office report for you fine folks out there. Leading the way in a pretty significant landslide this weekend was the presumed franchise starter Divergent, which debuted with a very strong $50 million at the box office. At number two we had the relatively weak debut of the family sequel Muppets Most Wanted, which could only pull in $16.5 million. Number three was last week's number one Mr. Peabody & Sherman, which took in another $11.7 million from you all. The other new release in the top ten was the religious film God is Dead, which came out of nowhere to amass an $8.5 million cume. Among the independent/limited releases, we had okay debuts for the comedy Cheap Thrills and the documentary Jordorowsky's Dune, while the anticipated theatrical release of Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac Part One was rather underwhelming. Apparently audiences wanted to watch that particular film at home on VOD as opposed to in a theater with strangers. Make of that what you will…
I'm fairly surprised that Muppets Most Wanted and Nymphomaniac Part One didn't do better, while Divergent did about what I expected and God is Dead came out of nowhere (it wasn't screened for critics, so I wasn't invited to a screening and I don't make a habit of seeking out these sort of flicks). Among the titles that opened well, the former basically assures that the next two books in the series will be coming to theaters near you, while the latter potentially could lead to a bigger opening for Noah next week, though folks looking for a similar experience there will be in for a surprise. In regard to the two that underwhelmed, the former ran into some resistance due to a few other kid-centric titles being out as well, so it wasn't a must see movie. As for the latter, it was never going to be a crossover success, but I'm sure it had hopes of being an art house smash, and that clearly isn't the case. Maybe Part Two will somehow do better in a few weeks?
Among the notable holdovers in theaters, we again have to discuss Wes Anderson's movie for sure. The Grand Budapest Hotel expanded to about 300 theaters and moved up to number seven this week with $6.7 million. That's some strong continued success there. Also worth mentioning besides […]

No one at the box office this weekend seemed to be a 'Nymphomaniac'
Happy Sunday once again everyone, here I am with the weekly box office report for you fine folks out there. Leading the way in a pretty significant landslide this weekend was the presumed franchise starter Divergent, which debuted with a very strong $50 million at the box office. At number two we had the relatively weak debut of the family sequel Muppets Most Wanted, which could only pull in $16.5 million.

Thinking Out Loud: Who Could/Should Direct Ghostbusters III?
For this weekend's edition of Thinking Out Loud, I only really have one topic in mind, and it's on the direction of the Ghostbusters franchise. With the recent passing of Harold Ramis and the even more recent announcement that Ivan Reitman won't be directing the in development sequel/reboot, I've been thinking about who might be best suited for the job. Bill Murray already is almost assuredly not going to be involved and Dan Aykroyd mostly is helping shape the script and will be a supporting player at best, so this is an opportunity to take the concept in a potentially new direction…
If I were in charge of offering the job to whatever filmmakers I desired, these would be the six (or technically eight, but you'll see what I mean in a moment) that I'd be wining and dining. The half dozen different choices represent some unique takes on the material, but I think they'd all be successful candidates:
-Judd Apatow – For a few years now I've secretly hoped that at the very least Apatow would help produce a Ghostbusters movie. His stable of friends/actors seem perfectly suited to become wisecracking paranormal exterminators. You could have any combination of Jay Baruchel, Michael Cera, James Franco (maybe), Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Seth Rogen, Paul Rudd, Jason Segel, and Martin Starr in the roles, and that's a solid recipe for comedy in my eyes. Apatow probably isn't too interested in this gig, but I really wish he would be.
-Joe Cornish – I may not have loved Attack the Block, but in some ways Cornish's film is almost a calling card for this type of studio project. He could make a rather unique mark. I'd think that he'd be a less likely pick because of his relative lack of experience, but if Godzilla turns out to be a big success, I could see Cornish following in the footsteps of Gareth Edwards and getting a big franchise to play with.
-Duncan Jones – A darker choice to be sure, but anyone who follows Jones on Twitter knows that he has a sense of humor as well. He's certainly elevate the franchise and make it a real legitimate "film" as opposed to a comedy tent pole, but isn't everything supposed to be darker and grittier anyway? He's another less than likely candidate, but I'd hope that his name is at least floated about.
-Phil Lord and […]

Oscars®: Muppets Most Wanted – What's up with the 2015 Awards Race
Directed by: James Bobin
Written by: James Bobin and Nicholas Stoller
Main Cast: Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell, Tina Fey make up the main human actors, with various others voicing the Muppet cast members, plus cameos from tons of others in Hollywood
Past Oscar relations: The Muppets won Best Original Song (the song Man or Muppet was written by Bret McKenzie, who again is writing the songs here for Muppets Most Wanted)
Here is the next article in this new series on 2014 contenders hoping to compete for Oscar attention. Next (and second) up is James Bobin's Muppets Most Wanted, which looks to capitalize on the prior films Oscar success (it won Best Original Song). The film is a sequel to the Oscar winning The Muppets, though this one is far more co-writer/director Bobin's baby than last time, when he just directed and the vision was very much Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller's (though Stoller still co-writes here). The spirit of the Muppets is still here though, as the gang goes on tour and has an international adventure that fits in very well with their past. Now, it's going to hope that it can survive in our hearts and minds throughout the season and attempt to become another Oscar nominated Muppets movie.
What this flick has going in its favor is that it's basically tailor made to receive a Best Original Song nomination. Many of the films in the franchise have showed up in that category, and this time around there are a number of catchy enough tunes to make it a very safe bet. The characters themselves are also just so charismatic and likable that you can't help wanting to see more of them (remember the pseudo campaign to get them to host the Academy Awards telecast? I do), which is why whenever a new film of theirs comes out we talk about it as a potential dark horse contender for some bigger awards. I'm not sure about all of that this time around, but a Song citation seems likely to me.
Working against Muppets Most Wanted is that the movie is very slight and not anywhere near on the level of the last one (or the previous ones from years past). The movie is fun, but it feels like a sequel that mainly exists because the last one was successful, though cleverly they do comment on that very thing. Still, looking at this as any […]
'The Grand Budapest Hotel' has one of the top limited release openings at this weekend's Box Office
HOLLYWOOD NEWS NETWORK: Happy Sunday everyone, here's the weekly box office report! Leading the way handily this weekend was the sequel 300: Rise of an Empire, which debuted at number one with an estimated $45 million, proving that folks still cared about this story years later. At number two we had the debut a new animated film in Mr. Peabody & Sherman, which hauled in an estimated $32.5 million. Among the limited release openings, the one of note is clearly The Grand Budapest Hotel, which managed to crack the top 20 despite only playing in four theaters. That quartet of theaters still brought the movie $800,000 in business, which gave it a top ten of all time per theater average of $200,000. Impressive.
The first 300 was something new and different, so its success was something to be celebrated, regardless of your thoughts on the actual flick. This time around, it's now solidified itself as a franchise and a name brand, so look for another one of these in a few years time. As for Mr. Peabody & Sherman, audiences that had already seen the other animated offerings at least once were more than ready for this, so the good opening is somewhat to be expecting. In the case of The Grand Budapest Hotel though, this good an opening was a bit surprising, since it opened even better than Moonrise Kingdom did two years back.
Among the notable holdovers in theaters, Non-Stop managed not to crumble in its second week, taking in $15.3 million, while The LEGO Movie finally came down to earth, though it still added $11 million more to its cume. Son of God didn't fare quite as well though, since it had over a 60% drop, giving it just $10 million for the weekend. Also of note is the return to the top ten of 12 Years a Slave, which managed to open at number nine despite coming out earlier this week on Blu-Ray and DVD. That Best Picture win last weekend was good for an extra $2.1 million, so congrats there.
Here now folks is what the top ten looked like at the box office for this particular weekend:
1. 300: Rise of an Empire – $45,050,000
2. Mr. Peabody & Sherman – $32,500,000
3. Non-Stop – $15,378,000
4. The LEGO Movie – $11,005,000
5. Son of God – $10,000,000
6. The Monuments Men – $3,100,000
7. 3 Days to Kill – $3,062,000
8. Frozen – $3,010,000
9. […]
Oscars®: What's up with the 2015 Awards Race: The early contenders so far
I'm starting up with a new weekly series here at Hollywood News, one tentatively titled "What's up with the 2015 Awards Race". Once or twice a week, I'll be looking at potential 2014 awards contenders, and for the inaugural piece today, I figured I'd cover some of the films that have already come out this year, including one notable release that's beginning its theatrical run today. Future pieces will more specifically focus on one title in particular, completely with more of an in depth look at them, but today we'll start off with a primer.
I've got a quartet of films to discuss, though they all have various pros and cons to their potential candidacies, obviously. Consider this a template for what's to come during the year, including a placeholder grade of either "likely contender", "potential contender", or "long shot contender" for each…
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Directed by: Wes Anderson
Written by: Wes Anderson and Hugo Guinness
Cast: Ralph Fiennes, F. Murray Abraham, Mathieu Amalric, Adrien Brody, Willem Dafoe, Jeff Goldblum, Jude Law, Harvey Keitel, Bill Murray, Edward Norton, Tony Revolori, Saoirse Ronan, Léa Seydoux, Jason Schwartzman, Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson, and Owen Wilson
This film just began its theatrical run today in limited release, but Wes Anderson projects always flirt with the Academy's attention. Anderson himself has a trio of Oscar nominations to his credit so far (for co-writing Moonrise Kingdom and The Royal Tenenbaums as well as for making the animated feature Fantastic Mr. Fox), so he's no stranger to awards. Best Picture and Best Director has so far eluded him though. If the year is on the weak side, a comedically tinged film like this one could possibly slip in, though Anderson himself is more likely for another Screenplay citation than a Director one. Watch out for Ralph Fiennes too, as he could parlay a likely Golden Globe nomination into some Academy consideration as well.
Grade: Likely contender
The LEGO Movie
Directed by: Phil Lord and Christopher Miller
Written by: Dan Hageman, Kevin Hageman, Phil Lord, and Christopher Miller
Cast: (Voices of) Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman, Alison Brie, Charlie Day, Liam Neeson, and Morgan Freeman
I have my doubts that we'll see another animated title get a Best Picture nomination again for a while, but the reviews and box office for this one make me think that it's at worth considering its candidacy at this early juncture. If nothing else, this one […]
Coming Soon: More Producer Credit Glut!
By ROBERT W. WELKOS
When you ask indie producer Luillo Ruiz how his recent low-budget action-comedy film Welcome to the Jungle featuring veteran martial arts star Jean-Claude Van Damme could come with 31 producer credits, his answer is simple and straightforward.
The film's financiers were given executive producer credits, he said, while others who provided their production skills for less than what they would normally charge accepted other producer credits.
"They are not charging what they are supposed to charge but they are very passionate about bringing their skill to this film and the skills they bring to this film have a cost. That cost you should repay," Ruiz explained by telephone from Puerto Rico, where his production company, Piemienta, is located and where the film was shot.
In the film, which came out in limited release Feb. 7 and has also been released on DVD, Van Damme plays an unhinged Marine who leads a group of unsuspecting office workers on a survival trek across a jungle-infested island when they find themselves stranded at a corporate retreat.
Ruiz said the shoot took 19 days in Puerto Rico.
According to IMDB, Welcome to the Jungle comes with two producers—Ruiz and L.A.-based Justin Kanew ("The Amazing Race")—along with 14 executive producers, eight associate producers, four co-executive producers and three co-producers.
Welcome to the jungle, indeed.
But the Van Damme film is not an isolated case of producer credit glut.
Last year, Lee Daniels' The Butler drew media attention apart from the drama's strong reviews when it listed 41 producer credits.
The Producers Guild of America co-president Mark Gordon told the entertainment website The Wrap that the 41 producer credits was "a little embarrassing for everyone within our community."
The PGA has been fighting producer credit bloat for years and now has a certification process in place to protect the integrity of the producer credit.
According to the PGA, once a producer's work on a film is certified by the guild, the "Produced by" credit and producers name will be followed by the distinctive mark: "p.g.a." All the major studios have signed on to the process as well as many independent producers.
In the days and weeks to come, Hollywood studios and independent distributors will be releasing all sorts of films that are crammed with producer credits. For example:
*Fifteen producer credits on IFC Films' The Face of Love starring Robin Williams, Ed Harris and Annette Bening.
*Fourteen producer credits on A Birder's Guide to […]
Oscars: Why 'American Hustle' went home empty handed
One of the more interesting and unlikely developments from this past weekend's Academy Awards telecast was David O. Russell's film American Hustle managing to lose in each of the ten categories it was nominated in. Historically, 0-fors almost never happen. Recent examples include Gangs of New York and True Grit, but by and large, if your movie is among the most nominated of the year, it winds up going home with at least a token win. So, how did American Hustle wind up being shut out, and why exactly did it happen?
In short, it was mainly due to the competition. The flick wasn't nominated in any one particular category where it had an easy road to a win. Maybe if you took away The Great Gatsby from contention, maybe Best Costume Design would have been the place? American Hustle was the runner up in a lot of places, likely including Best Supporting Actress and Best Original Screenplay, but there wasn't an obvious place to reward it, so a concerted effort was never made to just honor it in one particular place. The closest things to that was the Supporting Actress race, where Jennifer Lawrence nearly upset Lupita Nyong'o, but that was always going to be a toss up category.
American Hustle probably also suffered to some degree because of the Olympics. That stretched out the season and gave members of the Academy extra time to get around to 12 Years a Slave and to revisit films like Gravity, The Great Gatsby, and Her. With a shorter decision time, Oscar voters who were flirting with Russell's movie might have just up and committed to it, instead of holding back and ultimately going in a different direction. You never can be sure about something like this, but I have a feeling that over the last week or two, the flick really had its momentum come to a screeching halt.
Personally, I liked the film more than a lot of my colleagues did, so I take no enjoyment in seeing it go home empty handed. That's just the nature of the business though. There are only so many awards to be given out, and in a super competitive year like this one, something had to give. In a very literal way, the nominations turned out to be the reward for American Hustle.
You have to give the film a great deal of credit though for going […]
'Non-Stop' dethrones 'The Lego Movie' at the Box Office
Happy Oscar Sunday everyone! While wait for the show to start later on this evening, it's time for the weekly box office report. Leading the way this weekend was a new film for a change, as Liam Neeson's thriller Non-Stop debuted at number one with an estimated $30 million. At number two we had the debut of the religious flick Son of God, which took in an estimated $26.5 million, and down at number 14 we had the re-release of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues in a special R rated edition. That movie grabbed an extra $1.3 million from fans. Among the limited release openings, we had a wide range of indie titles that failed to make much of a mark, including The Bag Man, Ernest & Celestine, The Lunchbox, and Stalingrad. They didn't embarrass themselves, but none look to be a crossover hit or anything of that sort.
Liam Neeson continues to be a reliable action hero, as Non-Stop had a very solid first weekend haul. As for Son of God, folks didn't seem to mind that it's just an expanded version of the TV series The Bible that they already could have seen for free. As for Anchorman 2, that re-release was only designed for hardcore fans of the film, so don't read too much into that small cume.
Among the notable holdovers in theaters, The LEGO Movie continued to be a blockbuster with another $21 million in its bank account. The other good holds were that of The Monuments Men, which made $5 million and keeps right on chugging along, as well as the $3.6 million more that Frozen took in this weekend.
Here now is what the top ten looked like at the box office for this particular weekend:
1. Non-Stop – $30,019,000
2. Son of God – $26,500,000
3. The LEGO Movie – $21,015,000
4. The Monuments Men – $5,000,000
5. 3 Days to Kill – $4,900,000
6. RoboCop – $4,500,000
7. Pompeii – $4,300,000
8. Frozen – $3,611,000
9. About Last Night – $3,400,000
10. Ride Along – $3,065,000
Oscars: Get to know a Best Picture nominee: "Philomena"
Directed by: Stephen Frears
Written by: Steve Coogan and Jeff Pope
Main cast members: Judi Dench, Steve Coogan, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Mare Winningham, Peter Hermann, and Sean Mahon
Number of Oscar nominations in total: 4
Other nominations besides Best Picture: Best Actress (Dench), Best Adapted Screenplay (Coogan and Pope), and Best Original Score
Notable precursor wins: Won Best Adapted Screenplay at the BAFTA Awards and Best Screenplay at the Venice Film Festival last year
Chances at winning Best Picture: Rather slim, though there's supposedly a late surge going on to at least give it a long shot chance at a huge upset
Chances at other Academy Award wins: It's potentially going to be shut out, though Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Score are certainly in play
ANALYSIS OF OTHER OSCAR NOMINEES: 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle, Captain Phillips, Dallas Buyers Club, Gravity, HER, and Nebraska
Philomena is the eighth (and second to last) film in my "get to know a Best Picture nominee" series, and it's another nominee that realistically has to look at the nomination itself as the only surefire reward it can count on here. Yes, co-writer/co-star Steve Coogan and his partner Jeff Pope could swoop in and steal Best Adapted Screenplay (while Best Original Score is an open field), but Judi Dench is way behind in Best Actress, so there's nothing for this movie to hang its hat on. Still, it's a crowd pleaser for the most part, and that's always a dangerous contender in Best Picture, so be aware of that.
Working in Philomena's favor is the Harvey Weinstein factor. Weinstein and his brother Bob have had some tremendous success running The Weinstein Company, especially when it comes to getting their films recognized. They pulled a bit of a rabbit out of their hats getting a Best Picture nominee for this flick and since then have been working overtime to make the case that this movie deserves to win. While Best Picture is a hard sell, they can certainly make the argument that the film should be recognized somewhere, which is why Best Adapted Screenplay is in play. If enough of the older and female voters (which is where the campaign is focused) are taken with this flick, I suppose anything is possible, considering how it's made so many moves late in the game.
If you're looking for something that's not in this film's favor, it's the fact that it has the fewest nominations […]

Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Saturday 11 Jul 2015 to Monday 20 Jul 2015:
It will stay dry and warm across much of the south through the weekend, but further north and west it will be more unsettled with some spells of rain. This rain may turn heavy and thundery as it spreads erratically eastwards, before being followed by brighter, fresher weather. Into the following week a period of more generally unsettled weather is expected across the UK. The north and west may be breezy at times, and will have the most frequent periods of rain early next week, while further south and east there will generally be much drier, brighter and often warm conditions. Temperatures will be generally close to or a little above normal, perhaps cooler at times in the northwest and rather warm at times in the southeast at first.
UK Outlook for Tuesday 21 Jul 2015 to Tuesday 4 Aug 2015:
A two way split in the weather seems most likely through this period, with southern and central parts staying generally dry, with fine and often warm conditions. Further north and northwest more unsettled and breezy weather will prevail with rain at times, but also some drier brighter interludes. Temperatures are likely to be close to or a little below normal in the north, with the south and southeast often being warm for the time of year.

A bit off, but the ending....just keep on watching me....yeah....
The animation was unsatisfactory and I think the punch line is going to give me nightmares (excuse the pun) forever.
I think next time you should try to focus more on the animation and make the entire joke feel more strung together. It felt too much like a non sequitur, considering how it jumped from Derpy to Rarity to Spike. In addition, vulgarity =/= humour, so try to focus more on actual funny than just freaking people out with a masturbating dragon - if he's masturbating, there better be a really damn good reason why, just with any other action he's doing.
I don't get why everyone on here is saying that just because this is a gross cartoon about ponies, that it's a ripoff of Hotdiggitydemon. He was not the first.
Getting that out of the way, I did not like the animation. There was no real style to movement or art, so it just came off as shoddy. The writing wasn't bad, though.
To all other reviewers, that is what you call constructive criticism.
Thank you for that! That's fair enough. This was only the 3rd thing I ever animated and I only took 3 days over it on and off, so it was never going to be high art (although I only literally just this second noticed this thing won daily 4th, for reasons I do not understand, but, er, that's great!)
Regarding the .mov ripoff claims, I'll just say my piece once, then shut up. I love the .movs cartoons. I can recite them all pretty much off by heart. I'm a big fan of Giraldi's work.
But I do have one issue with them, and it isn't remotely his fault - they have made it nearly impossible for anyone to make a pony parody without calls of 'APPLE.MOV ripoff!!" I draw stuff the way I always have, I'm learning the basics of animation and even if the .movs didn't exist I still would have made this, although it probably would have been slightly different because *of course* there was an influence there, because he's a very good animator! But he's not the be all and end all of pony parodies! Want to go further back? The .movs owe a colossal debt to John Kricfalusi. Any shame in that? Of course there isn't, the man's a genius. Giraldi took a huge influence from there and built on it.
The MLP phenomenon (not too strong a word, I think) is way too large to be underscored by one guy. I'm not really thinking of my cartoon but of all the others, some of which are actually good, who have "APPLE.MOV COPY" flung at them the second they break surface.
It's pretty much the same thing as music videos on youtube now, which have become notorious for having Justin Bieber mentioned in the comments (usually as a comparison, positively or not) no matter how relevant he actually is to the video in question. It's kind of stifling.
TL;DR - Judge pony toons on their own merits for God's sake, and don't hold HotDiggedyDemon's work up as a yardstick for the entire genre! But feel free to rip the piss out of my work so far, 'cos it's the ramblings of a deranged n00b.
Can't wait for Twilight's .mov!
there seems to be a war going on that has derpy as a girl or guy. offically she IS a girl. you can ask the bronies or look at the edited version with her femine voice. thas the only edit that i liked, her voice sounds more femine now. but they should of kept the eyes.

Theres probably a whole blog in this or something, but this game is so incredibly annoying. I have played a ton of Generations for the 360, 3DS and colours DS and Wii over the past week or so./ It feels like a game farmed out with the only instruction being "MAKE IT LIKE THE OLD GAMES". I don't know if Dimps who worked on eps 1, 2 and the 3DS generations are to blame, but there is a theme that runs between the three. awful, awful level design full of moments that bring you to a halt or cheap deaths from out of nowhere. There is often a lot of "how come I made that jump this time when I died doing the exact same thing the last four?" moments.
There is a reason why people keep saying Colours, Generations, Colours, Generations. Colours, fucking Generations!!!! (possibly with less U)over and over and that is because those games are good. They do a brilliant job of fooling you into thinking you are playing old sonic when you are playing something slightly different. The speed at which you go and the slower platforming sections either kept to a minimum or paced so you have to move quick. There's a certain reckless skillfulness required to go through those games. Kinda like Ryan beating the stage brad got stuck on in trials. Those games work on a "fuck it ,GO!" kind of thing, it is perfect because the sense of speed is exhilarating. You know what? the 3D stages in those games are fucking awesome... and that is coming from someone that thinks adventure etc are shit.
This game is the worst parts of Sonic, a massive step backwards, The speed gone, the bad level design, the "how the fuck did I do that and survive" moments replaced with "fuck there's a gap, I guess i should fly over it sloooooooowly with tails" seriously, this just isn't what people wanted and the worst thing is the music , one of the strongest things in almost any sonic game (and that goes for even the shit ones) is the music and the music in ep 1 was awful, but this is just lazy, lazy shit. so fucking infuriating, I just don't understand why Sega would take such a massive step back considering the love the past two retail games have gotten.

INDIANAPOLIS - MARCH 11: Guard Michael Thompson #22 of the Northwestern Wildcats defends against forward Christian Watford #2 of the Indiana Hoosiers during the first round of the Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament at Conseco Fieldhouse on March 11, 2010 in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)
(Photo credit: Associated Press) Indiana closed out 2012 on Monday afternoon with a critical 69-65 road win at Iowa to open the Big Ten season. Here's a look at five takeaways from the Hoosiers' 13th win of the season: · This was IU's most important win so far: Yes, wins over Georgetown and North Carolina might be "better" in terms of bolstering the NCAA Tournament resume, but given how the Hoosiers started out on the road in the Big Ten a season ago (1-5), it's fair to call this the most important win so far this season. Indiana, despite its resurgence in 2011-2012 that culminated with a Sweet 16 appearance, finished just 3-6 away from Assembly Hall in conference play. For a team with Big Ten title aspirations, 3-6 isn't going to get the job done. Even though it was just the first conference game, a loss in Iowa City could have ultimately been the difference between a conference title and finishing as a runner-up. The performance wasn't pretty, but it builds confidence going into t...

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Redd starting to find a rhythm
Bucks guard Michael Redd has struggled to regain his form as he comes back from a left patella tendon injury suffered in the second game of the season.
But he took some steps forward on Wednesday as he scored a season-high 32 points and grabbed six rebounds in the Bucks' 109-97 loss to the Washington Wizards.
One sign that he was making progress came at the foul line, where Redd hit a career best 15 of 15 attempts. That meant he was driving into the lane and drawing fouls, something the Bucks have lacked.
"He was moving rather good," said Racine native and Wizards forward Caron Butler. "A player like that really is a good player, and it takes a while for him to catch a rhythm. He did a combination of a lot of things: catch and shoot, rip through, get to the foul line."
Redd, making his second straight start, was 8 for 21 from the field although he was just 2 for 11 in the second half.
He was concerned about the Bucks' third straight home defeat, which dropped their record to 12-15.
"Their big three had a big night, and throw Earl (Boykins) in there, too," Redd said. "We know how well Earl can play. Gilbert (Arenas) put our guards in foul trouble all night and they couldn't get a rhythm, so it was tough."
Redd was shooting just 54.5% at the free throw line entering Wednesday's game, about 30 percentage points below his career average.
"I'm working on it every day," Redd said. "I'm not there yet, but I'll continue to keep working."
Redd said he was encouraged about being able to get to the basket with more ease.
"My legs are coming to life a little bit," Redd said. "It's going to take some time. But each game I feel a little bit better."
The Bucks are now 9-6 at home and will have a chance to stop their slide at the Bradley Center when they play the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night. Then they hit the road for games next week at Charlotte (on Monday) and Orlando (on Wednesday) before returning home Jan. 2 against Oklahoma City.

Milwaukee Rep's 'Sense and Sensibility' sometimes lost in translation
Nearly four years ago, the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's production of Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" shattered box-office records. The Rep has now returned to the well, drawing upon Austen's "Sense and Sensibility." This time, the bucket that emerges is barely half-full.
Austen's first published novel, "Sense" revolves around sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, who enact the drama central to all of Austen's fiction: In a world where being female is never easy, how can a woman be true to herself by expressing all that she feels (sensibility) - while also managing sufficient reserve to keep her autonomy (sense)? »Read Full Article(1)

SILVERBAY-Ninety years ago on April 27, 1921, Ethel Andrus will tell you, "I was born and raised in Silver Bay on Watts Hill, the lovely knoll my father bought and cleared to build our homestead."
There she lived all the days of her life, not counting the months from June 1946 to May 1947. She had become the wife of Bill Andrus on June 1 and the newlyweds moved to Louisiana. But Ethel became so homesick that before the year was up, the couple returned to Watts Hill. Bill and Ethel fixed-up living quarters over the garage that had served as her father's office before his death in 1943. Captain Walter G. Watts had been known as one of the ablest surveyors in northern New York.
Ethel entered the world as the second youngest of the seven children of Ethel Mary Shattuck (for whom she's named) and Captain Walter G. Watts. She talks about her parents with pride.
"My mother, Ethel Shattuck, was 15 when she married my father. He was 35. My parents were a very independent couple. They had to be-it was subsistence living. What we couldn't grown, preserve, or make, we ordered from Montgomery Ward-parcel post." Her father, she told, "...would go across the lake by boat. In winter he'd carry his transit on his back and walk across on the ice to the opposite shore and go over the mountain all the way to Whitehall. Transportation was scarce in those days." Ethel's husband, Bill Andrus, when the couple returned to Silver Bay for good, went to work at Hague's Trout House Garage. Ethel became postmaster of Silver Bay in the little building on 9N at the head of Pudding Island Road, just a little north of Watts Hill. Many a resident, including some writers, became acquainted with Ethel at the post office. The well-read and knowledgeable Ethe helped document facts from fancies about her hometown.

Over the week, I stumbled over this article while I was looking over old copies of Newsweek in the Library. I instantly thought, �Oh an article the president wrote on educational issues, I wonder what that is about.� The article was about issues concerning education in our society today, how poor it is nation wide, and initiatives, including national educational standards, that could potentially raise the educational level throughout our nation. Although the national educational standards issue was not discussed in detail, it is important to note that the president of our nation is aware of them an is trying to help the nation as a whole be aware of them also.
�People like to say that the schools aren�t what they used to be. The truth is, they�re much to much like they used to be. At the beginning of the 21 century, we can�t expect to prepare our children for the challenges of the global information economy in schools designed to meet the demands of the industrial economy.� This was the most important point that the article made. Personally, I have never thought about the educational standpoint from this perspective. This remark has made me aware that I do not have the resources to know what education was like 50 years ago, but I do know how much it has changed within my short lifetime alone. Since I started school in 1980, I have been though the ages of �before their were computers in schools� to watching computers in schools grow into what they are today. My first experience with computers was limited but influential. In 1987 (when I was 10 years old) I was confronted by my first computer that was half my size and the storage disks were enormous. Since then, I have observed all computers and their components get smaller and smaller while holding more and more information. Because I was able to observe this, I know now that what children have available to them today is incredible but the educational system really has not changed in order to fit what the children are capable of. Now it is evermore important to change and improve educational goals to fit this new type of technology.
Educational standards are a great idea but they will not have any affect whatsoever if they are not enforced. Awareness of these educational standards by every parent and student in the entire nation would benefit the situation also. Sadly, I was not aware of these educational standards until I became an Education major here at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. If this is the case for me, I am sure this is the case for many people all across the nation. No one will benefit from educational standards unless they are enforced and recognized as beneficial toward every child�s education. Educational standards need to be used as a successful tool toward education and not taken for granted. In order for educational standards to be a success they need to become second nature to educators across the nation. I think that this is a great idea but it will not work unless it is taken seriously.
Bibliography:�No Challenge Is More Important: The United States: The president sees education as the crucial issue for America�s Future.�
By Bill Clinton

Recreational fishing
Victoria's inland waters support healthy populations of trout and redfin, and native species such as golden perch, Murray cod and Australian bass. Yabbies and spiny freshwater crayfish are also popular.
Our bays, inlets and oceans support productive recreational fisheries for snapper, King George whiting, flathead, bream, sharks, tuna, calamari and Australian salmon, most of which are caught with hook and line. Scallops, abalone and rock lobster are also taken by recreational divers.
Wild Trout Fisheries Management Program
Eight projects over three years to investigate trout populations in rivers.
Revised bag and size limits now apply in Victorian lakes and rivers.
East Gippsland reefs improve fishing
Eight reefs have been installed into Lake Tyers, Mallacoota and the Gippsland Lakes.
For the fourth consecutive year, more than 2 million native fish have been stocked to improve inland fisheries.
Regulations limit the number of abalone and shellfish that may be carried in any one vehicle.

The UK Royal Air Force plans to upgrade its entire fleet of Boeing CH-47 transport helicopters to a standard configuration from late 2009, with the modernised type likely to be dubbed the HC4, says Chinook force commander Gp Capt Andy Turner.
Full details of the Chinook capability upgrade have yet to be finalised, along with funding approvals, but key elements will include a standardised glass cockpit with head-up displays and new navigation and night vision equipment, says Turner. A radio upgrade will provide connectivity with the British Army's Bowman battlefield communications system, and the aircraft will also receive a "refined" defensive aids system.
The work will be embodied with the service's current 40 Chinook HC2/2As (one pictured above), plus its eight extended-range HC3s; the first of which are entering a "reversion" programme to clear them for use after being kept in storage since 2001. "We will have a single, coherent fleet, with one aircraft standard and one pilot qualification," says Turner.
With 40% of the current fleet deployed on operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, where the RAF's Chinook force is maintaining a commitment of 10 and one aircraft, respectively, the additional eight aircraft will provide vital extra capacity during the upgrade period, according to Turner.
A parallel effort to increase the number of hours flown by the current aircraft is also now paying off, with the fleet on track to meet its target of delivering 16,000 flight hours this year including 7,200h in Afghanistan and Iraq: up from 12,000h in 2006.
"We are now flying the 16,000h rate, and have been for the last four months," says Turner, who reveals that aircraft in Afghanistan are now logging a combined 550h a month, performing tasks including troop transport and equipment resupply. "Our role is hugely flexible," he says, while also describing the Chinook as "a war-winning capability". But responding to criticism that the UK should send more helicopters to the country, he adds: "The quantity at the moment is the maximum we can endure with."
The RAF also plans to within the next six months extend the periods between scheduled service intervals by 33% to further increase fleet availability, with this and the additional eight aircraft (three pictured below) to boost operations to 18,500h in 2010. "The net number of hours to the fleet won't change, but the pressure will be less," says Turner.
With the UK's Chinook force heavily committed in Afghanistan and Iraq, the RAF intends to address the risk of possible "skills-fade" in other areas. The service is now planning to conduct training in littoral and amphibious manoeuvres, and in jungle and arctic operations, says Turner.
The UK expects to operate its Chinooks until at least 2040, according to a through-life customer support deal signed with Boeing in 2006.
Preparations are meanwhile under way in the UK to support crew training activities for Canada's future fleet of CH-47Fs. One Canadian exchange pilot will join 18 Sqn at RAF Odiham, Hampshire in September, while a further two student pilots and two rear crew members will begin training at the base during the same month.
