Audiences Want More Diverse Film Casts, Despite Studio Fears — Study
When Hollywood is taken to task for the lack of diversity in high-profile films, decision-makers' responses tend to boil down to the idea that they're actually giving audiences what they want. Movies led by familiar (usually meaning white) faces are the most profitable, they argue, hence the casting of Scarlett Johansson in "Ghost in the Shell" and Tilda Swinton in "Doctor Strange."
Bombardier ou les avantages du contrôle familial
La commande que Delta Air Lines a passée récemment à Bombardier représente un appui important à la C Series. Maintenant, reste à déterminer si le gouvernement fédéral devrait fournir une aide financière à l'entreprise.

MBA News: Rising tuition, rising demand
In 2010, McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management did something extraordinary. It more than tripled the cost to attend its MBA program. The idea behind it was to make the program more self-sufficient and to rely less on money from the government of the province of Quebec. This year, the Montreal-based school will see a record number of applications, up 15% from last year. The director of the program says the increase in tuition has only raised the school's cache, convincing people that more expensive means higher quality.

Microsoft Application Request Routing (ARR) Version 2 for IIS7 Beta 1 has been released.
Following the ARRv1 RTW release last month, the ARR team has released ARRv2 Beta1 release today. (The "official" announcement can be found here.)
ARRv2 is an incremental release that has all the features of ARRv1, but we added a support for disk cache. What is really exciting about this feature is that now we can start thinking about using ARR as a cache proxy. (Read about the disk cache feature here.) Also, we have added support for CARP (Cache Array Routing Protocol) and cache hierarchy management that will enable customers to build a network of ARR cache nodes in CDN (Content Delivery Network)/ECN (Edge Cache Network).
You can learn more about ARRv2 Beta 1 here.
- Microsoft Application Request Routing Version 2 for IIS 7.0 Beta 1 (x86) here.
- Microsoft Application Request Routing Version 2 for IIS 7.0 Beta 1 (x64) here.
- For Beta releases, the support is provided via this forum. It is also a great place to ask for feature requests as we are currently working on Beta2.

FESTIVAL: "Johnny Foreign" Be Damned!; Down Under Danielson Delivers at Edinburgh
by Jack Cocker
(indieWIRE: 09.03.02) -- News of the nationality of incumbent Edinburgh Festival programmer Shane Danielsen was no doubt greeted by some with a high pitched "What? An Aussie?" But the English national football team's being managed by a Swede, the Scottish one by a German, so I suppose it's coming as little or no surprise to Brits these days seeing "Johnny Foreigner" take over their most prestigious posts. And if the antipodean's opening year as artistic director is anything to go by, the old island siege mentality may well be a thing of the past.
Taking over from crowd favourite Lizzie Francke was never going to be easy, but Danielsen, like some hepped-up film nerd decked in black leather, has grabbed the festival by the balls and left his own inimitable impression. It's a tired old cliche and probably appears somewhere in a festival press release, but his program had something for everyone, mixing the lofty with the low-brow, the cool with the kinetic, the inscrutable with the accessible.
And to open, there was only ever going to be one choice. Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay's debut feature "Ratcatcher" dazzled Edinburgh three years ago, revealing an uncompromising vision that heralded her as a leading light among the new wave of British filmmakers. She returned this year with "Morvern Callar," adapted from the "unfilmable" novel by Alan Warner. Samantha Morton plays Morvern: a supermarket employee in a small Scottish town who wakes up one day to find her boyfriend has slit his wrists and left her the manuscript to his novel. She passes the text off as her own, withdraws her dead boyfriend's cash and takes off to party island Ibiza with best friend Lanna. And that, my friend, is pretty much it. The film is what you'd expect from Ramsay: sumptuous visuals filtered and cross-processed to within an inch of their life; lots of long, loving close-ups of Morton's face; precious little dialogue, a cracking soundtrack, and a pretty flimsy, meandering narrative. But its rapturous reception proved that Ramsay's laconic, painterly approach is very welcome in a film industry blighted by its obsession with gritty realism.
"Morvern Callar" was made by ailing British studio Film Four, a company that has in the last few months been in the process of shutting up shop. But, as a last hurrah, they threw a number of memorable movies Edinburgh's way. "Buffalo Soldiers," Gregor Jordan's scabrous cross between "M.A.S.H." and "Trainspotting," is set on a U.S. army base months before the fall of the Berlin Wall, and features Joachim Phoenix as a wheeling, dealing, amoral GI. And Shane Meadows' "Once Upon A Time In The Midlands" is an accomplished and affectionate study of the suburban family unit, laced with his trademark gentle comedy.
For something altogether different, one need look no further than enfant terrible Gaspar Noe's second feature, "Irreversible." Just as in Cannes, this brutal rape-revenge film garnered most of the headlines. Due for a U.K. release sometime next year it received what will probably be it's only "uncut" screening, which included the infamous 9-minute rape scene, and while Filmhouse staff weren't required to break out the oxygen tanks and administer CPR, it proved too much for some Edinburgh moviegoers who voted with their feet.
For the kids in the baggy trousers and the shaven-headed men with ironic T-shirts, there was the Mirrorball section, showcasing the best music videos from the last year. A French compilation entitled "Fabrique en France" heralded Michel Gondry's triumphant return to the fold with three new promos for the White Stripes and Chemical Brothers. Further evidence of our Gallic friends' ascendancy was evident in a brace of videos from new talents like H5, Numero 6, and Francois Vogel. Mirrorball also showcased promo director Mark Romanek's impressive feature debut "One Hour Photo," with Robin Williams in another edgy role as an obsessive photo developer.
Cinema from the East featured heavily, with a retrospective on Kon Ichikawa, a contemporary of Kurosawa and Ozu's, and at 86 now the grand old man of Japanese filmmaking. The young guard were represented too: "Ring" director Hideo Nakata returned with more slow-burning horror in the shape of "Dark Water"; Isao Yukisada's adrenalized "Go" -- a huge critical and commercial success in Japan -- played like a high-school romance movie on speed; and Korean Kim Tae-gyun's "Volcano High" mixed a "Harry Potter"-esque "magic school" setting with kung-fu, wirework, extra-sensory powers and a full-on shredding metal soundtrack. But the weirdest of them all had to be Takashi Miike's "The Happiness Of The Katakuris." A horror-musical centering around a family-run hotel high in the mountains where the guests keep dying and the family keep hiding the bodies, it included zombie corpses, "Sound of Music" rip-offs, Svankmajer-esque claymation, and some frankly ridiculous dance moves.
In the Document section, we were treated to more of the weird and wonderful, only this time lifted straight from real life. "The Backyard," billed as an "ode to knuckle-headed masochism" followed WWF hopefuls as they plied their trade on the backyard circuit in rural America. I was expecting "Beavis and Butthead"-style japery and a few laughs, but watching two blokes bash each other over the head with fence posts, garrotte each other with barbed wire and set each other on fire to the muted applause of five or six bored onlookers was perhaps one of the most tragic things I've ever seen. "How To Draw A Bunny" was an attempt to chronicle the life and death of New York artist Ray Johnson, a man who "lived his entire life as though it was a piece of performance art." The reminiscences of NY luminaries such as Roy Lichtenstein, Chuck Close, and Christo and Jean-Claude made for entertaining viewing, but the film's attempts to portray Johnson's suicide as some sort of "last great performance" seemed contrived and actually pretty insulting. "Sex With Strangers," on the other hand, was an out-and-out harrowing experience. Made by the Gantz Brothers (responsible for HBO's "Taxicab Confessions") it followed a number of American "lifestylers" -- swingers, to use the old vernacular -- on "the scene": i.e. having sex with lots of people and pretending to be cool about it. But despite the hefty amount of on-screen nudity it left me feeling in need of a shower and a good scrub with some wire wool. The Gantz brothers' camera seemed to show little in the way of empathy or understanding for their characters, and the whole thing felt rather like a freak show.
Being in Edinburgh in August is an uplifting, enriching and altogether knackering experience. Quite apart from the Film. Comedy, Music, Book, Theatre, Dance and Art festivals, there is the small fact that the bars stay open all night, and somehow, as soon as you arrive, it becomes biologically unnatural to go to bed before 5 am.

My Favourite Thread: I don't have a favourite thread at the moment. I really should start reading more threads on a more regular basis. There are a few I like; Wolfy's thread, Nige's thread, Emperor's thread, Seans thread among others.
What I Like Most About Booking: Hmmm, there are a few different things that I like about booking. Having the ability to express my ideas. When I was about 13/14 I always used to book my own matches on a piece of paper and then play them on wrestling games. Then it got more serious and I started booking my own TV shows on paper, with wrestlers I'd enjoy watching. Then I found this forum and noticed the BTB section. Seriously, it was weird seeing it. I thought I was the only guy who ever did something like this.
Another aspect of booking that I like is the ability to book my own feuds and decide the outcome of them. This ties in with my love for wrestling, and the WWE. I have also liked meeting some great 'friends' on here that I talk to on an almost regular basis. Great stuff.
My Favourite Promotion & Wrestler (Non BTB): I'd have to say the WWE. Whether it's the attitude era or the PG era, I can't stop myself from watching and enjoying. For obvious reasons I'd say Kane is my favourite wrestler, but I also loved The Rock, Stone Cold, The Undertaker etc. I'd say Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho have been my two favourite superstars this past year.

WHEN the Russian Revolution had been successfully concluded, the Russian studios were bankrupt and virtually useless. Actors and directors fled first to the Crimea, then to Germany or, more of them, to France. Everything had to be reorganized, a task which was not completed until 1925. Up to that time the real Russian films--though few recognize it today--were those made by the Czarist émigrés in Paris, where they continued the work that they had started during the war and with the same personnel, with Protazanov and Volkov and, even more important, with Mosjoukine. Their work was strange and chaotic, sometimes overclever, and destined to die out or to become denationalized in exile, but it produced some attractive films immediately after the war. Meanwhile in the U.S.S.R. other men on the track of new cinematic laws and theories were laying the groundwork for Eisenstein and Pudovkin's future success. Here it is well to consider how it was that this nation, cut in half by the turn of events, nevertheless contrived to express on the screen the unity of the Russian genius.
It was at Montreuil, first with Yermoliev and then with Albatross, that the Russian exiles tried to preserve both their customs and their ideas about films. It would be foolish to consider them as a branch of the French film, since their producers, directors and actors and even at times their financial backing were Russian. Rather were they a branch of old Russia planted in new soil. Of course, as the genuinely Russian firms disappeared the group was broken up, actors took engagements elsewhere, either in France or abroad, and directors likewise. But for a few years this bit of Russia-in-France preserved its entity. Naturally the ideas of French directors influenced these people; in fact it might almost be said that their chief ambition seemed to be (and they were

OU's Blake Griffin says he will enter the NBA draft
NORMAN – As Oklahoma's 2008-09 basketball season played out, Blake Griffin's place in the college game crystallized. He'd passed it by. Griffin – the consensus and overwhelming national Player of the Year as a sophomore – confirmed as much Tuesday, announcing his intention to enter the NBA Draft. No individual and few teams found a way to contain Griffin in a second season that saw him average 22.7 points and an NCAA-best 14.4 rebounds. He led the Sooners to a 30-6 record and a spot in the Elite Eight. And he turned the player of the year race into a futile chase for others, including reigning awards holder Tyler Hansbrough of North Carolina, running away with every major honor. Now, as he stands similarly alone atop NBA mock drafts, it's time to test his game at the next level. Kansas coach Bill Self, whose teams faced Griffin for just five minutes in two games spanning two seasons – due to injuries – still came away fully impressed by the Sooner star through preparation. "In the last few years," Self said in accepting AP Coach of the Year award in Detroit, "I had the chance to try and stop players like Kevin Durant of Texas, Michael Beasley of Kansas State and Blake Griffin, three of the most dominant players in the country. "He's been the best of the three, and he will have a fabulous pro career." Griffin grappled with a similar stay-or-go decision following his freshman year, opting to remain a Sooner. That time, he looked forward to playing one more season with his brother Taylor, leading a deeper Sooner run in the NCAA Tournament and better readying himself for the NBA. Missions accomplished. The Griffin brothers made the most of their time together, enjoying OU's extended postseason stay halted only by the national champion Tar Heels. Blake established Sooner and Big 12 single-season records with 504 rebounds, 30 double-doubles and a .654 field goal percentage. And while the Sooners would stand as a top contender for the NCAA championship if he returned, big brother Taylor is an outgoing senior and the NBA is calling. And this time, Blake is answering: yes.

Falcons cast vote for Vick
SAN DIEGO -- The debate should really pick up steam this week. George Bush or John Kerry? Nope. How about quarterback Michael Vick or running back LaDainian Tomlinson?
When the Chargers elected in 2001 to trade the rights to draft Vick, whom they'll face Sunday in Atlanta, they opened themselves up to a plethora of second-guessing.
"I don't think you want to be the Portland Trail Blazers of the NFL," then-Chargers coach Mike Riley said before the draft.
Added Chargers fullback Fred McCrary at the time: "How can you pass on the guy? It's like taking (Sam) Bowie over Michael Jordan. It's not going to happen."
It happened, and Vick has been an NFL happening since. He's among the most marketed players in the league, with his jaw-dropping runs and clothesline-straight passes.
But which team got the better of the trade, which came less than 24 hours before the Chargers, with the top pick, were on the clock?
"I don't know," Vick said. "I never thought about it since the trade happened.
"I was just happy to be an Atlanta Falcon, and I think they got a good quarterback in Drew Brees in that draft, so I think they were very satisfied. I think they made their decision and never looked back, and I went my way and never looked back."
A glance in that direction shows the Chargers got more than Tomlinson. With two other picks acquired in the trade, the Chargers drafted wide receiver Reche Caldwell and cornerback Tay Cody. Wide receiver and punt returner Tim Dwight was also part of the deal.
Caldwell has a team-high three touchdown receptions. Cody was a bust. Dwight, when healthy, has contributed, mostly on special teams.
No doubt, Vick is special. He did something that not even Tomlinson has done: led the Falcons to the playoffs, in 2002.
But he has also been hurt -- he missed 11 games last year with a broken leg -- and is considered more of a runner than a passer. Regardless, Vick and Tomlinson are forever linked as the key components in one of the NFL's biggest trades ever.
Vick admitted that he keeps track of Tomlinson.
"How could you miss the guy?" Vick said. "He is on 'SportsCenter' every week, making an incredible run or incredible catch, and he has great stats. I keep up with LaDainian, that's my homeboy. We came out of the same class, and I always thought he was a great player.
"He reminds me of the great ones: Barry Sanders, Gale Sayers. Guys like Roger Craig, who just run hard, with great vision. He has great moves, gets yards after contact; he is everything you want in a back, man. He is one of the best out there. You rarely run across a back that can do the things he does and average the type of yards per season in the passing game as he does, and in the running game. It's tough to find one like that."
Said Tomlinson of the trade: "I don't think that there is anybody who can really argue what we've done for our teams, and I think it's only going to get better. I really do appreciate what he is able to do. It's hard to just talk about how much of a freak of nature he is, but it is what it is."
The Chargers unearthed Tomlinson thanks to the Falcons' willingness to trade. But don't think Atlanta is rubbed the wrong way in having Vick. He has compiled a 16-9-1 starting record, including a nifty 10-4 showing at home.
"There is no label you can put on him," Falcons president/general manager Rich McKay said. "He is an original. There has never been anyone like him before. He is the prototype. Vick is just one of the greatest athletes ever to play in this league, probably the best ever at quarterback."

Oh gosh, it started in '07. When Pokémon Crater and its forums closed down, I had nothing to do on teh internetz Pokémon-wise, so I decided to do a little screwing around on YouTube. And whaddya know, I found a video of "Pokémon ShinyGold," did a little more research on the term
ROM hacking
and found a video by a gentleman named Foullump about how to download ShinyGold... which brought me here.
So everything is all thanks to Zel and Foullump, really. You guys have no idea how great you are.

Update: 3:40 p.m. on Feb. 17: The mother of the three-year-old who died after a severe beating is charged with 2nd degree murder along with her boyfriend who was also charged in the murder.Jamie (Miller) Litton also faces additional charges of endangering the welfare of a child.The probable cause statement for Thomas Joseph Presley showed the scene for a severe beating at the home where three-year-old Blake Litton was assaulted.Presley told authorities he began hitting the child around 2:30 Thursday morning when he became enraged with the toddler."I really beat him bad this time," the probable cause quoted Presley as saying.The probable cause statement said Presley told authorities he blacked out during the beating and hit the child more times than he could remember with the heel of his hand. He said he kicked the child. According to the statement, Presley put the child to bed thinking he would be OK, but 30 minutes later, Presley said he heard a loud noise in the kitchen of the home and found the toddler on the floor unresponsive. He said the child was injured badly and was gasping for breath while his eyes rolled into the back of his head.According to the probable cause statement, Presley drove the child to the mother's place of employment. He then began driving to Versailles to seek hospital treatment for the child. According to the probable cause statement, that's when he realized the child had died and called EMS.Presley then told authorities he made up the story about the car hitting the child.Update: 4:53 p.m. on Feb. 16:The mother of a Morgan County three-year-old who died early Thursday morning and her boyfriend have been arrested pending murder charges. Stover County authorities said Thomas Joseph Presley is facing 2nd degree murder charges and they expect the mother, Jamie Miller to be charged as well.Early this morning, the death was reported as a hit-and-run accident with a toddler walking along the side of the road. Authorities now say that was a lie. They said inconsistencies in the story as well as violent trauma to the toddler's head and torso led them to that conclusion.Authorities said Litton was beaten at 105 Oak Park Lane in Stover and taken to the highway. That's when the 911 call came in for the hit and run. Authorities found Litton with severe injuries. He was pronounced dead at 6:30 a.m.After the initial hit-and-run call, law enforcement investigating the crime found inconsistencies with Presley's story and evidence found at the scene. That's when they figured out the boy was assaulted at the home.Original Story:A toddler was killed in a hit-and-run accident Thursday morning in Morgan County.The accident happened at 5:15 a.m. on Missouri 135 at Buttons Road.According to the Highway Patrolâ??s online records, 3-year-old Blake Litton walked from the ditch line into a lane of traffic. An unknown car hit the toddler, left the scene and continued driving northbound.
Litton was pronounced dead around 6:30 a.m.The investigation continues.

Alliance's hallmark arrogance backfires
Recently I listened to Paula Bradshaw on the radio talking about... you've guessed it... flags.
Recently I listened to Paula Bradshaw on the radio talking about... you've guessed it... flags.
Sinn Fein has called for voters in Northern Ireland to support remaining in the EU to protect workers' rights and EU subsidies.
Is it just me or is it utterly incredible that the SDLP can state that the Justice ministry is a no-go area for 'nationalists' when the appointment of Claire Sugden - like that of David Ford before her - was manufactured by Sinn Fein?
Open letter to Education Minister Peter Weir
The appointment of Claire Sugden as Minister of Justice might not have been anticipated, but it has placed her in a position of virtually unassailable power for the next five years. As the pivot of the new Executive, she has a unique opportunity to make her ministry responsive to the needs of the people.
I'm writing to appeal to your readers to get involved and show their support for Harrison's Fund's Blue Hair Day on June 26.
It is regrettable that the abortion pills trio seem to be receiving some level of public support for their actions.
Without doubt the Save Our Day Centres Campaign to keep open facilities across north, west, south and east Belfast has been nothing short of an overwhelming success.
It is regrettable that the abortion pills trio seem to be receiving some level of public support for their actions.
I would like to place on record my solidarity and support for the Queen's University members of the University and College Union (UCU), who have taken part in 48 hours of industrial action.
The overwhelming sense of relief in Europe's established political, social and religious establishment at the failure of Norbert Hofer, the leader of Austria's far-Right Freedom Party, to win his country's presidential election seems at best a temporary moment of respite - given half of the voting populace backed him.
General Sir Richard Shirreff seems to think it is almost a foregone conclusion that Russia will attack one of the Baltic States next year.
Anyone still dubious about the benefits of a plant-based diet need look no further than vegan boxing former world champion David Haye, whose fight on Saturday was a knockout - literally.
It is obvious that your correspondent Live and Let Live (Write Back, May 23) is ignorant of the history of integrated education in Ireland.
The world humanitarian summit in Istanbul will be no more than a fig leaf at which to express good intentions.
So, the Ulster Unionists, the SDLP and others have opted to form a de facto Opposition. Well, that augers well for those involved and those who accept the partitionist entity of Northern Ireland and the administration of British rule.
I welcome the statement by the Republic's Minister for Foreign Affairs, Charlie Flanagan, at the ceremony commemorating the 42nd anniversary of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings that he would press the British Government to grant access to all documents pertaining to the bombings, which killed 33 people and injured more than 300 (News, May 17).
While everyone is billing and cooing at the UUP, SDLP and Alliance for stepping out into so-called Opposition, I have to register my dismay at the failure of these parties properly to respond to the recent election mandate.
EVERYONE will admire the way Turkey has taken in and helped so many refugees from Syria and it should receive support from other countries in doing this, as President Erdogan says.
PERHAPS the chair of the European Movement NI, Ian James Parsley, should have shown less haste in criticising the Leave campaign for their faux pas regarding Northern Ireland's "net contribution" to the EU (Write Back, May 19).
AMNESTY claimed in your newspaper (May 23) that 68% of Northern Ireland people supports same-sex marriage. That may or may not be true (though I would doubt it).
Newly-elected MLA Eamonn McCann stated on radio that his job is to hold the main parties to account. Now, I don't like to burst Eamonn's bubble, but he needs to learn that his role is to work to improve the lives of the people of Derry. The people who hold politicians to account — and this includes Eamonn — is the electorate, through the voting process.
Under the headline 'Archbishop talks peace building with loyalist body' (News, May 21), the Belfast Telegraph reported the meeting of the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Justin Welby with members of the Loyalist Communities Council (LCC), which is backed by the UDA, UVF and...
Mental Health Awareness Week is dedicated to raising awareness of all issues relating to mental health and we should all support the cause.
Rule based on Government versus Opposition implies decisions are taken by (simple or weighted) majority vote. But majority voting is the most inaccurate measure of opinion ever invented.
IAN James Parsley is wrong (Write Back, May 19) in saying the Leave.EU campaign has been "forced to admit" anything to the BBC.
The words "poverty" and "deprivation" occurred only once each in last week's Queen's speech. That, in itself, is a sad commentary on the priority attached to these important issues.
There should be wariness about loyalist paramilitaries attempting to take a leading role in commemorating the Somme, either through erecting flags or other initiatives.
June 1975 was a missed opportunity for the UK: in the referendum, a majority voted to stay in the European Community, while our first oil was produced from the North Sea.
Louise Haigh MP's intervention (News, May 16) does nothing for the Clarkes, Buchanans, Howells and Elkins that she claims to defend.
Judging by the manner in which permission to drill for oil at Woodburn Forest in Carrickfergus has been allowed without any consultation with the public who depend on the Woodburn reservoirs for that basic to human life - water - and the supportive attitude of many of our public representatives on the issue (some of whom make sweeping and derogatory comments, including name-calling), it would almost appear that these representatives would prefer Northern Ireland to be run like a type of communist/police state.
There were 8,000 Liverpool supporters in Basel, Switzerland for a football match last week.
Alex Kane makes the case (Comment, May 17) that, with an Opposition at Stormont, politics in Northern Ireland will be normal. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Regarding the letter headlined 'Terrorism not parades are real cause of division' (Write Back, May 13), I'm afraid the letter writer is wrong: terrorism and parades are both the result of division.
Boris Johnson claims a reason to Brexit is because European unification was promoted by a fascist dictator. However, a policy is not necessarily bad just because it has such support.
So, the British Government has backed down from breaking up the BBC. John Whittingdale, the Culture Secretary, who dubbed the licence fee "worse than the poll tax", appears to have been overruled by the Prime Minister and the Chancellor.
It is often wrongly assumed apathy is the main reason why many in Northern Ireland do not vote in the elections.
Your article in Wednesday's edition (News, May 18) led with the claim that EU membership cost Northern Ireland £67m last year, according to the Leave.EU campaign.
KIDS4SCHOOL: Larne (April 23) £375.97. S STEWART
I assume that Jon Platt - term-time holidays dad and company director - is happy for his employees to take a day off every fortnight in addition to their holiday entitlement? I hope his daughter finds an equally understanding employer, because the lesson her dad is teaching her is commitment does not matter.
I am a regular commuter on Translink's Metro service. A characteristic of Metro buses these days is the electronic voice-over informing passengers of the next stop.
Let us not forget, in this special centenary year of 2016 as we reflect on the 1916 Rising, the Ulster Volunteers' role in the Battle of the Somme and the Irish Volunteers' part in the First World War, that we have a unique opportunity in British/Irish history to consolidate peace and bring hope to future generations.
I understand that the Irish embassy in London is proposing to hold meetings with Irish nationals living in the UK regarding the coming EU referendum and that it will be looking to promote the Remain case in these meetings.
It is unfortunate that the local Press reported - without challenge - the Leave campaign's assertion that Northern Ireland is a "net contributor" to EU funds of £67m each year.
Yet again the recent elections across the UK failed to come up to international standards.
Fionola Meredith (Comment, May 13) regards abortion as a "fundamental" human right and Ireland's abortion laws as "barbaric".
The debate about the UK's membership in Europe is morphing into a scaremongering campaign.
I have long passed the point where I don't want to hear anything further from either camp in the EU referendum campaign.
Like so many others who will be asked to vote on membership of Europe, I know little about our future prospects if we opt out.
Congratulations to Mike Nesbitt on his leap of faith by joining the Opposition benches in Stormont.

Thunder TV ratings increase
The Oklahoma City Thunder capitalized on its 55-win regular season with a 52 percent increase in game ratings on Fox Sports Oklahoma. The Thunder averaged a 3.2 rating for the 75 telecasts, up from 2.1 for the 2009-10 season.
The Thunder showed ratings increases each month of the season — October, 2.3; November, 2.6; December, 2.8; January, 3.1; February, 3.3; March, 3.7; April, 5.5.
FSOK's best rating was a 7.3 for a game at the Los Angeles Lakers on April 10. The best overall rating was a 11.1 for ABC's telecast of a home game against Miami on Jan. 30.
Even with the ratings' increase, the Thunder ranked fourth from the bottom in the NBA for total viewership with 21,000 average households, according to data compiled by the Sports Business Journal. Oklahoma City, ranked No. 45, is the league's third smallest TV market, ahead of only No. 48 Memphis and No. 52 New Orleans.
San Antonio dominated the NBA's local TV ratings with a 10.2 average, up 52 percent from last season, followed by Utah's 5.6, Miami's 4.9, the Lakers' 4.8 and Boston's 4.7.
Short takes
— FSOK narrowed the ratings gap for Game 2 of the Thunder-Nuggets series. FSOK had a 6.3, while TNT had a 6.7 for a 13.0 total. For Game 1, FSOK had a 5.9 and TNT an 8.0 for a 13.9.
— ESPN/ABC takes over NBA playoff coverage the next three days, including an Easter Sunday doubleheader on ABC — Miami at Philadelphia at noon and Boston at New York at 2:30 p.m.
— Dave Pasch, Doris Burke and Holly Rowe will call Game 3 of the Thunder-Nuggets series at 9 p.m. Saturday on ESPN.
— ESPN will air a special 90-minute NFL Draft special with Bill Parcells at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. Parcells, who has a history of rebuilding franchises through the draft, will share his inside knowledge of how the draft works.
— TNT commentator Charles Barkley has irritated some Thunder fans with his criticism of the team, but Barkley admitted Wednesday night he was not an NBA expert. "We're not experts. We just have strong opinions," he told host Ernie Johnson. "God is the only expert."

Sinnoh is definitely underrated, and it was when the game started to shine in terms of variety and viability of many Pokémon.
I won't disagree that the 4th gen is almost universally disliked, but that doesn't necessarily make it underrated. For example, Superman on Nintendo 64 is universally disliked, but it's not underrated, because it's possibly the worst video game of all time. To be underrated something must first be good, and Gen. IV is probably the worst of the gens. Now, personal preference does come into it as well.

It's fine that you like the cold region of Sinnoh, but most people didn't. I for one found it a bit bland and depressing compared to the exotic, tropical Hoenn region. As I said earlier, opinions do factor into one's decision on what gen is overrated or underrated. Honestly, the reason I think Hoenn was great was because it seemed to pull off being different better than any other region. Whereas Unova was certainly different, the region and it's Pokemon really didn't seem right. Something seemed to be missing. However, I find Hoenn to be a nice breath of fresh air, while still feeling like a Pokemon region.
On the topic of Gen. II, though, I will say that I agree that it's overrated. I mean, it introduced some great new Pokemon (Scizor!), but everything was just so underleveled in Johto that the game was excruciatingly easy compared to the other games.
PM me if you add me.

Great brakes
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've had these brakes on my bike , Intense 951, for over a year now. They did great all summer long in the bike park. I'd highly recommend them to anyone. Easy to setup, great modulation, and they last a while before needing to be bled.
Best brakes for DH

H.S. SWIMMING: Mia Nonnenberg heads to Junior National Championships
It's almost hard to believe after all of her success, but Mia Nonnenberg remains more determined than ever to improve.
Two weeks after winning eight medals at the Middle Atlantic Senior Championships, the Scranton Prep senior representing Blue Dolphin Aquatics takes on her latest challenge at the 2013 Speedo Junior National Championships in Irvine, Calif.
"I'm definitely confident going into this meet," said Nonnenberg, who also competed in last year's Junior National Championships, but failed to win a medal. "Having the opportunity to race against great competition at the Senior Championships has me ready.
"Last year was more of an experience for me to compete against the best swimmers and I wasn't focused on medals. This time, I am going after it."
Always willing to push herself to the limits, Nonnenberg indicated that she will again have a full schedule that could include up to eight preliminary races in the meet that begins Monday and goes through Friday night.
Her races include the 400-meter Individual Medley, the 200 IM, the 200 backstroke, the 800 freestyle, the 200 butterfly, the 400 free, the 200 free and possibly the 1,500 free.
"It's worth it to do more events," Nonnenberg said. "It gives you more opportunities to compete and that's why I am here."
According to the seeding psych sheets, Nonnenberg's best chance to crack the top eight should come in the 400 IM, which will be held Tuesday with preliminaries at 9 a.m.
It's an event that she captured a gold medal in at the Middle Atlantic Senior Championships in a time of 4 minutes, 50.26 seconds. That is the 10th fastest time in the field with Rebecca Mann, representing Clearwater Aquatics in Florida, holding the top seed at 4:39.76.
"The IM will be where I am focused," Nonnenberg said. "That is where I am seeded best, so I am excited about that race."
Last season, Nonnenberg finished 46th in the 1,500, 47th in the 400 IM and 66th in the 800 free at the Junior National meet.
