Crysis 2
Review by Truegamer9
"Outstanding and Gorgeous, Crysis 2 is unlike any other."
When I started Crysis 2, I was stunned by how beautiful the game was. It didn't play like Call of Duty, nor Halo. It sets itself a new standard. Crysis 2 is unparalleled, unprecedented and will blow you away.
Gameplay: 10/10
First off, out of all the shooters I've played I have not seen a shooter whose game play that's as revolutionary as Crysis 2. Crysis 2 features a cover system unlike no other. While dug into cover be it a wall or a pile of sandbags, you have the option to lean out slightly to shoot and lean back to take cover. This actually gives you viable cover unlike crouching quickly after being shot in most shooters. Crysis 2 also lets you interact with the world around you, allowing you to grab objects to throw at your enemies, grab enemies to throw at your enemies or kicking cars at your enemies. Another feature that sets itself apart from the generic shooter.
Now the Nanosuit. A state of the art combat suits that is the hallmark of the game. You have several features built into the nanosuit that makes the game interesting. Featuring stealth and armor to suit your combat style. This gives you several key choices on how to tackle a combat situation. Play it stealth like Sam Fisher pulling off assassinations and silent headshots or go in guns blazing using reinforcing your armor to support your charge. If that doesn't help then there's the tactical visor that gives you options on what you can do during combat. It also allows you to tag enemies and objects. These are the many key features that sets Crysis 2 apart from the rest
The game mechanics are extremely well done as well. The enemies are actually smart. Their tactics and situational awareness improves dramatically with difficulty. They will take cover if shot at and they will shoot you more if you don't shoot back. They will flank, they will flush you out of cover and they will generally be a pain. With all that's provided in your nanosuit, you must decide how to deal with the problem. Did I also mention on the spot weapon customization? As long as you found the attachment for the weapon you can place that attachment on the same weapon you pick up, giving you further tactical options. Other than that, your grenades explode as a grenade should, things don't glitch into walls and your C4 actually does substantial damage. Also you don't throw your grenades like a girl.
Story 9/10
Epic. There are so many epic moments in the campaign that I lost track. The campaign itself isn't rushed unlike most shooters. It gives you an in-depth experience through the streets of Manhattan like none other. (30+ hours I estimate). Without spoiling too much, you're pretty much a marine who survived a terrible encounter with an alien race known as the "Ceph" As you lay there injured by the attack, you are rescued by the wielder of the Nanosuit, a man known as Prophet. Prophet is unable to fulfill his mission and gives you the task of saving New York City as the new wielder of the nanosuit. As a deadly virus spreads loose, an alien race running loose and a bunch of private military soldiers hunts you down, you will search for the truth as **** hits the fan in downtown New York. How you deal with this is up to you. You are the weapon.
Graphics/Sound 10/10
The graphics are absolutely beautiful. The environments are vivid, crisp and detailed. Detail is to the point and the textures are precise. The explosions The game flows through fluently, the colors are vibrant. You will be astounded. When they said that this was "The best looking game on console" They did not lie.
The sound is amazing, your gun will sounds like a gun when it shoots, explosions are actually loud and you can actually hear the voice of whose talking. The music itself sets the right mood and tone for the situation. From the eerie tone of a dark subway to the roaring orchestra of the final battle. The music does not disappoint.
Multiplayer 9/10
The multiplayer is tough. But don't let a soon to be former noob give you the impression that its bad. Multiplayer is what you would call different. Unlike Halo or Call of Duty. It has similar aspects such as killstreak rewards and custom classes but overall it is completely different. As in campaign you have the armor abilities such as cloak and armor. The important thing is timing, when to use them is vital. Patience is key when playing multiplayer but it pays off in time.
Overall, Crysis 2 is a must have of fans of the FPS genre. It's a refreshing not too mention beautiful change for those tired of the generic shooters. And for those who aren't fans of FPS games I would still recommend Crysis 2 regardless. It's a stunning game that will not disappoint.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.5 - Outstanding

Sullivan's Travels is a 1942 American comedy film written and directed by Preston Sturges. It is a satire about a movie director, played by Joel McCrea, who longs to make a socially relevant drama, but eventually learns that comedies are his more valuable contribution to society. The film features one of Veronica Lake's first leading roles. The title is a reference to Gulliver's Travels, the famous novel by satirist Jonathan Swift about another journey of self-discovery.
In 1990, Sullivan's Travels was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."
John L. Sullivan (Joel McCrea) is a popular young Hollywood director of profitable, but shallow comedies (e.g. Ants in Your Plants of 1939). Sullivan is dissatisfied despite his success and tells his studio boss, Mr. Lebrand (Robert Warwick) that he wants his next project to be a serious exploration of the plight of the downtrodden. He asks to make his next film an adaptation of Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, a socially-conscience novel. Lebrand wants him to direct another lucrative comedy instead, but the idealistic Sullivan refuses to give in. He wants to "know trouble" first-hand, and plans to travel as a tramp so he can return and make a film that truly depicts the sorrows of humanity. His butler (Robert Greig) and valet (Eric Blore) openly question the wisdom of his plan.
Sullivan dresses as a penniless hobo and takes to the road, followed by a fully staffed double-decker coach at Lebrand's request. Neither party is happy with the arrangement; and Sullivan eventually persuades his guardians to leave him alone and arranges to rendezvous with them in Las Vegas later. However, when he hitchhikes alone, he finds himself back in Los Angeles where he started.
There he meets a young failed actress (Veronica Lake, credited only as "The Girl") who is just about to quit the business and go home. She believes he is truly a tramp, and buys him a breakfast of eggs and ham. In return for her kindness, Sullivan retrieves his car from his estate and gives her a lift. He neglects to tell his servants that he has returned; so they report the "theft" of the car and Sullivan and the Girl are apprehended by the police. Upon their release, the Girl pushes him into his enormous swimming pool for deceiving her about his true identity. However, after considering her options, she becomes his traveling companion.
This time Sullivan succeeds in living like a hobo. After eating in soup kitchens and sleeping in homeless shelters with the Girl, Sullivan finally decides he has had enough. His experiment is publicized by the studio as a huge success. The Girl wants to stay with him, but is stymied by his complicated living situation. On the advice of his business manager, Sullivan had gotten married to reduce his income tax. Ironically, he discovers that his wife cost him double what he saved in taxes.
Sullivan decides to thank the homeless by handing out $5 bills, but one man decides he wants more than his share and ambushes Sullivan when he is alone, taking the cash and Sullivan's shoes. Sullivan is knocked unconscious and thrown onto a train boxcar leaving the city. The thief drops the loose cash on the rails then is run over and killed by another train while picking it up. When the thief's body is found, they discover a special identification card in his shoes identifying him as Sullivan. The mangled body is assumed to be Sullivan's, and his staff and the Girl are informed of his death.
Meanwhile, Sullivan wakes up in the rail yard of another city, with no memory of who he is or how he got there. In his confused state, he assaults the railroad worker who finds him, for which he is sentenced to six years in a labor camp. Sullivan slowly regains his memory. While in the labor camp, Sullivan attends a showing of Walt Disney's Playful Pluto cartoon. Looking at the pure joy in the audience's faces, Sullivan realizes that comedy can do more good for the poor than his proposed social drama, O Brother, Where Art Thou?.
But Sullivan still has a problem â" he cannot convince anybody that he is Sullivan. Finally, he comes up with an ingenious solution: he confesses to being his own killer. When his picture makes the front page of the newspapers, the Girl recognizes him and gets him released. His "widow" had already taken up with his crooked business manager, so he can now divorce her and be reunited with the Girl. A montage of happily laughing faces ends the film.

Cast notes:
- This was the sixth of ten films written by Preston Sturges that William Demarest appeared in.
- Members of Sturges's unofficial "stock company" of character actors who appear in Sullivan's Travels include George Anderson, Al Bridge, Chester Conklin, Jimmy Conlin, William Demarest, Robert Dudley, Byron Foulger, Robert Greig, Harry Hayden, Esther Howard, Arthur Hoyt, J. Farrell MacDonald, Torben Meyer, Charles R. Moore, Frank Moran, Jack Norton, Franklin Pangborn, Emory Parnell, Victor Potel, Dewey Robinson, Harry Rosenthal, Julius Tannen and Robert Warwick. Eric Blore had appeared in The Lady Eve and Porter Hall would go on to appear in three other Sturges films: The Great Moment, The Miracle of Morgan's Creek and The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend, Sturges's last American film.
- Preston Sturges has a cameo appearance as the film director in the scene set in a film studio where The Girl sees Sullivan's picture in the paper and recognizes him. The man she almost runs into on the street outside the studio is Ray Milland.
- Another member of the production staff appeared in the film as well: associate producer Paul Jones appeared as "Dear Joseph", the late husband of "Miz Zeffie", in a photograph in which the man's expression changes.
Paramount purchased Sturges's script for Sullivan's Travels for $6,000. He wrote the film [as a] response to the "preaching" he found in other comedies "which seemed to have abandoned the fun in favor of the message." Sturges may have been influenced by the stories of John Garfield, who lived the life of a hobo, riding freight trains and hitchhiking his way cross country for a short period in the 1930s. Sturges wrote the film with Joel McCrea in mind, but found the female lead through the casting process. Barbara Stanwyck was considered, as well as Frances Farmer.
The film as released opens with a dedication:
To the memory of those who made us laugh: the motley mountebanks, the clowns, the buffoons, in all times and in all nations, whose efforts have lightened our burden a little, this picture is affectionately dedicated.
This was originally intended to be spoken by Sullivan. Sturges wanted the film to begin with the prologue: "This is the story of a man who wanted to wash an elephant. The elephant darn near ruined him." Paramount contracted with the Schlesinger Corp., who made the Warner Bros. Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, to make an animated main title sequence, but this was not used in the film, if it was ever actually produced.
The censors at the Hays Office had objections to the script which the studio submitted to them. They felt that the word "bum" would be rejected by British censors, and warned that there should be no "suggestion of sexual intimacy" between Sullivan and The Girl in the scenes in which they are sleeping together at the mission.
Sullivan's Travels went into production on 12 May 1941 and wrapped on 22 July. Location shooting took place in Canoga Park, San Marino, Castaic and at Lockheed Air Terminal.
Veronica Lake was six months pregnant at the beginning of production, a fact she didn't tell Sturges until filming began. Sturges was so furious when he learned that, according to Lake, he had to be physically restrained. Sturges consulted with Lake's doctor to see if she could perform the part, and hired former Tournament of Roses queen Cheryl Walker as Lake's double. Edith Head, Hollywood's most renowned costume designer, was tasked to find ways of concealing Lake's condition. Reportedly, Lake was disliked by some of her co-stars; McCrea refused to work with her again, turning down a lead role in I Married a Witch, and Fredric March, who got the part, didn't get along with her as well. McCrea got along famously, however, with Sturges, and afterward presented him with a watch engraved "for the finest direction I've ever had." Sturges' assistant director, Anthony Mann, was also heavily influenced by the production.
There were some minor problems during filming. Sturges had wanted to use a clip from a Charlie Chaplin film for the church scene, but was turned down by Chaplin. McCrea does parody Chaplin's "Little Tramp" character earlier in the film. Also, the "Poverty Montage" was scheduled to take three hours to film, but instead took seven hours. Incidents such as this may account for the film, which cost more than $689,000 to produce, going more than $86,000 over budget.
The film was first screened for critics on December 4, 1941. Its public premiere occurred on January 28, 1942, in New York City at the New York Paramount Theatre. Its Hollywood premiere occurred two weeks later on February 12, 1942, at the Los Angeles Paramount Theatre.
When the film was released, the U.S. government's Office of Censorship declined to approve it for export overseas during wartime, because of the "long sequence showing life in a prison chain gang which is most objectionable because of the brutality and inhumanity with which the prisoners are treated." This conformed with the office's standing policy of not exporting films which could be used for propaganda purposes by the enemy. The producers of the film declined to make suggested changes which could have altered the film's status.
Sullivan's Travels was released on video in the U.S. on 16 March 1989, and re-released on 30 June 1993. The film was re-released in the UK with a restored print on 12 May 2000.
Sullivan's Travels was not as immediately successful at the box office as earlier Sturges films such as The Great McGinty and The Lady Eve, and received mixed critical reception. Although the review in the New York Times called the film "the most brilliant picture yet this year" and praised Sturges's mix of escapist fun with underlying significance, the Hollywood Reporter said that it lacked the "down to earth quality and sincerity which made [Sturges's] other three pictures a joy to behold" and that "Sturges...fails to heed the message that writer Sturges proves in his script. Laughter is the thing people want â" not social studies." The New Yorker's review said that "anyone can make a mistake, Preston Sturges, even. The mistake in question is a pretentious number called Sullivan's Travels." Nevertheless the Times named it as one of the "10 Best Films of 1941", and the National Board of Review nominated it as best picture of the year.
Over time, the reputation of the film has improved tremendously, and it is now considered a classic, with at least one reviewer calling it Sturges's "masterpiece" and "one of the finest movies about movies ever made."
Awards and honors
In 1990, Sullivan's Travels was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked it as the #61 Greatest Movie of All Time, the first inclusion of this film on the list. In addition, the movie's poster was ranked as #19 of "The 25 Best Movie Posters Ever" by Premiere. A 2010 special issue of "Trains" magazine ranked "Sullivan's Travels" 25th among "The 100 Greatest Train Movies."

On November 9, 1942, Lux Radio Theatre broadcast a radio adaptation of Sullivan's Travels with Ralph Bellamy in the lead role and Veronica Lake reprising her role.
The theme of the film is best summed up in the film's last line of dialogue as spoken by Sullivan, ""There's a lot to be said for making people laugh. Did you know that's all some people have? It isn't much, but it's better than nothing in this cockeyed caravan."
The scene where the prisoners are taken to watch a cartoon takes place in a Southern African-American church; the film notably treats the African-American characters there with a level of respect unusual in films of the period. The Secretary of the NAACP, Walter White, wrote to Sturges:
I want to congratulate and thank you for the church sequence in Sullivan's Travels. This is one of the most moving scenes I have seen in a moving picture for a long time. But I am particularly grateful to you, as are a number of my friends, both white and colored, for the dignified and decent treatment of Negroes in this scene. I was in Hollywood recently and am to return there soon for conferences with production heads, writers, directors, and actors and actresses in an effort to induce broader and more decent picturization of the Negro instead of limiting him to menial or comic roles. The sequence in Sullivan's Travels is a step in that direction and I want you to know how grateful we are.
In popular culture
- In Lawrence Kasdan's Grand Canyon (1991), Steve Martin's character, an action movie producer who experiences a revelation after being mugged, temporarily decides to make high-quality "life drama" movies, but soon returns to the action genre when he decides that violence is life and should be welcomed and watched. Martin's character recommends that his friend (played by Kevin Kline) check out Sullivan's Travels, as "movies are where we get our answers to life".
- O Brother, Where Art Thou by Sinclair Beckstein
In the airplane scene in Sullivan's Travels, the author of the book O Brother, Where Art Thou? is shown to be "Sinclair Beckstein", which is an amalgamation of the names of authors Upton Sinclair, Sinclair Lewis, and John Steinbeck, all of whom wrote socially conscious fiction. The title of Sullivan's unrealized dream project has resurfaced in several other works.
- A 1991 episode of The Simpsons, "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?", got its title from the film and features Homer's half-brother Herb, who goes from CEO of a major car manufacturer to a hobo.
- In the 1993 film Amos & Andrew, Samuel L. Jackson's character has won the Pulitzer Prize for a play called Yo Brother, Where Art Thou?
- A 1998 episode of Sliders titled "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" features main character Quinn Mallory finding his brother in a simplistic reality reminiscent of early colonial times.
- The Coen brothers' 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou? borrows the title and has many plot similarities to Sullivan's Travels; on the special-edition DVD the Coens say the film is almost what Sullivan would have ended up making after Sullivan's Travels ends.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The iPad mini from Apple ( AAPL) is in such hot demand and its parts are in such short supply that even if you want one this holiday season you may not get it. DigiTimes reported that the panels used in the iPad mini are suffering from low yield rates, with Apple suppliers AU Optronics ( AUO) and LG are having problems with supplies. That's reportedly affecting the amount of iPad minis that can be shipped this year. Apple's iPad Mini: What It Means for Investors DigiTimes has been spotty with its Apple rumors in the past, so take this one with a giant grain of salt. It is worth noting, though, that the iPad mini is back-ordered on Apple's Web site, showing a two-week delay on all models, including the LTE versions from Verizon ( VZ), Sprint ( S) and AT&T ( T). Apple has reportedly made a major bet on the iPad mini for the holiday season, knowing the popularity of tablets as gifts. Apple may have ordered up to as many as 10 million units of the iPad Mini for the fourth quarter. Interested in more on Apple?

Golden HTC One pops up exclusively at O2 in Germany

After Apple and Samsung gave their 2013 flagship devices a golden touch, it was just a matter of time before their competitors catch up with them and pick up the latest trend...

Since HTC One made contract(secret) with Apple, they share the same marketing tricks and same menial tech media. HTC is not Apple , though, and have no zombies like Apple to buy any crap.
Nothing will help this sealed , tin-can brick , though. Even if they plated it with real gold,
Did you notice how when they write about the back of Note 3 , they never miss to say FAKE leather , but about iPone 5S and HTC One they never write FAKE gold????
4. bobborama (Posts: 2; Member since: 28 Nov 2013)
You have obviously never used the phone, you little troll. Tin can brick? How can that be while also being named phone of the year by so many people? Your opinion is just that. An opinion. Just because it's the loudest doesn't mean it's factual.
5. Long1 (banned) (Posts: 399; Member since: 18 May 2013)
Who are those "so many people"? Tech media guys with aluminum tin can "gold" iphones in their pockets?? Or iboys on the comment sections , that pretend to be HTC One lovers, to fight Samsung??(but will never buy anything else than iphone)
HTC is close to bankruptcy with this "great" brick. No matter how many worshiping HTC One articles per day flooded the media.
They sell HTC One for $28 now. But no one buys bricks.

Go to "Reception". I'm an HTC fan, I went from the Evo to this. Maybe their money issue has nothing to do with the One but a lot to do with their other phone ventures that have failed. You downvote and reply because you didn't like my comment. If you do that you have to bring something to the table other than baseless "facts". Those are called opinion
2. GeekMovement (unregistered)
I don't like all of this exclusive crap. Every phone should be available on every major carriers imo.

Hand's up if you miss the out-of-control, guitar driven and down right rocking Muse of yesteryear. If you actually put your hand up while reading this behind your computer screen, well I have two things to say. One, you're awesome for actually doing it and two, you probably won't like the band's 6th studio album 2nd Law.
Though that's probably being a little harsh, because like any who raised their hands at my opening sentence I to do miss Muse's more 'heavier' tracks, like the ones that appeared on Origins of Symmetry and Absolution. But in saying that, 2nd Law is actually a solid album.
With the album's opening track, Supremacy, which features a hard-hitting beat, underscored with a meaty bass line, the band sets out to shift its tone away from what I consider their weakest album, The Resistance. While it quickly switches to a much more low key affair with soft orchestral sounds set against a light drum beat it doesn't long last before vocalist, Matt Bellamy, belts out a high note and the song swings back into a 3 piece band led beat.
This type of back and forth is found peppered throughout the entire album, with some notable exceptions. Much like the break-down towards the end of the opening track, Muse will find new ways to surprise you with some hard heavy beats coming out to hook you from left field. Certainly a refreshing take from the lack of focus the band appeared to suffer with their last album, which featured way too many varying styles for my liking.
By that admission, 2nd Law, while still lacking that distinct sound I both look for and expect from Muse, is certainly a stronger album because it knows what it wants to be. Each song is consistent with the overall tone of the album, which fits nicely between soft-rock/electronica, with of course, some heavier riffs thrown in for good measure. This isn't to say each song is similar in sound, each have their own distinct foot-tapping beat that allows it to stand on it's own.
Like I said, there are some exceptions to the overall tonal feel of the album, with a few key songs standing out among others. The aforementioned Supremacy is one such song, as well as the 80's throw-back Panic Station, the Queen like Survival, and The 2nd Law: Unsustainable. The last features both a funky and groovy dub-step like sound that sees Muse flex their versatility as a band. I'm not a fan of dub-step, but Matt and the boys pull it off incredibly well, proving that whatever style Muse tries on they nail.
And really, this is what Muse are all about I've come to learn from listening to this new album, always changing and evolving their sound. While 2nd Law might not feature classics such as Hysteria, Sunburn or Knights of Cydonia, the album still sports some incredibly tight song-writing that remains consistent throughout the album.
Recommended Tracks: Supremacy, Panic Station, Survival, Follow Me, The 2nd Law: Unsustainable.
Score: 4/5
(An album that both exceeds expectations based on the groups previous works, while standing on it's own two feet as a polished and well composed piece of work)

Berlin (May. 28)
(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Action by the International Union of League of Nations Societies on the Roumanian Jewish sitnation was postponed until next October, following a heated debate which took place in the committee on minorities.
The committee, which was in session all day Friday, continued the discussion on the Roumanian Jewish situation.
Emil Margulies, representative of the League of Nations Society in Czechoslovakia, and Mr. Wischniak, representing the Russian Democrats, took exception to the defense offered by Professor Pangrati, dean of the University of Bucharest, in his reply to the charges of Mr. Dizengoff, former Mayor of Tel Aviv.
The Roumanian Jews are loyal citizens of their country and do not deserve to be placed under legal disabilities and certainly not to be delivered to the wrath of the mob, the speakers contended. They introduced a motion asking that the International Union send an investigation Commission to Roumania. Finally, the committee adopted the resolution of Mr. Dizengoff to postpone the discussion of all minority problems until the next session of the Union in October.

Apache Tuscany is an open-source runtime for SOA applications using SCA and SDO.
The Apache Tuscany project is an open source project which "provides runtime capabilities for applications built using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)." It "provides capabilities which follow the Service Component Architecture specification and the Service Data Objects specification, which together define a simpler, business-oriented approach to the creation of applications and solutions which use a SOA." It currently provides support for running service components developed in either Java or C++. The project proposal states this rational: "Tuscany provides multiple language implementations of the Service Component Architecture (SCA) specifications and related technologies such as SDO."
According to "Apache Tuscany Project to Simplify SOA Development" in eWeek, "Most of the committers to the Tuscany project are from IBM and BEA Systems Inc." The champion and an initial committer is Geir Magnusson Jr. of the Apache Harmony project and the Gluecode product that became WAS CE.
SDO is currently implemented in WAS and WebLogic. In WAS, it's one way for our Java ServerFaces (JSF) screens to access data, and the way messages appear in the mediation framework in the Service Integration Bus. SCA is currently implemented in WPS, along with the Business Objects component that is an extension of SDO. There are currently efforts to make SCA and SDO open standards supported by a variety of vendors. Tuscany is an important step towards making that happen.

released: 1 Nov 2006 author: AIHW media release
'Family violence among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' presents information on the extent of violence (in particular family violence) in the Indigenous population, using existing surveys and administrative data collections. Information is presented on the prevalence of violence, associated harm and services for victims of violence, as well as on those in contact with the criminal justice system. The report also discusses gaps in existing information, the extent to which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are identified and strategies to improve the information on family violence. This report is a useful resource for policy makers, administrators of programs and researchers with an interest in issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
ISBN 978 1 74024 620 0; Cat. no. IHW 17; 154pp.; Internet Only
Family violence is acknowledged as an issue of national importance, both generally and among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. There are many barriers to assessing its true extent but this report presents information currently available in relation to Indigenous Australians. The report draws on a number of surveys and administrative data sets and also discusses gaps in existing information and strategies for improvements.
Data on the prevalence of violence come from the 2002 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey.
About one in four Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people aged 15 years or over reported being a victim of physical or threatened violence in the twelve months before the survey (24%). The rate was higher among those who:
The age-standardised rate for being a victim of physical or threatened violence among the
Indigenous population was over twice the rate of the non-Indigenous population.
Although the rates were similar among those living in major cities (25%) and in remote areas (23%), people in remote areas were much more likely to report that family violence was a neighbourhood problem (41% compared with 14% in non-remote areas).
People who experience family violence may seek refuge, especially women. In 2003–04, 7,950
Indigenous females sought refuge to escape family violence.
Indigenous females and males were 13 and 7 times more likely to seek this assistance as non- Indigenous females and males, respectively.
The rate was highest for females aged 25–34 years.
In 2003–04, there were 4,500 hospitalisations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander persons due to assault in Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory combined.
Indigenous females and males were 35 and 22 times as likely to be hospitalised due to family violence-related assaults as other Australian females and males, respectively.
Indigenous hospitalisation rates for family violence-related assault were highest among:
For Indigenous females, about one in two hospitalisations for assault (50%) were related to family violence compared to one in five for males. Most hospitalisations for family violence- related assault for females were a result of spouse or partner violence (82%) compared to
38% among males.
Between 2000 and 2004, there were 150 deaths due to assault among Indigenous Australians in the four jurisdictions.
Indigenous females and males were nearly ten and nine times more likely to die due to assault as non-Indigenous females and males, respectively.
The death rate was highest among people aged 35–44 years.
The true extent of family violence is difficult to determine due to under-reporting by victims, lack of appropriate screening by service providers, incomplete identification of Indigenous people in many data sets and problems of quality and comparability of existing data.
The existing data sets differed in their ability to distinguish between family violence, partner violence and other violence, and between different types of violence such as physical violence, sexual violence, and threatened violence. The feasibility should be explored of developing a module of a minimum set of national standardised data items that allows reporting on the perpetrators of violence and the different types of violence, along with contextual information.
Improving the quality of Indigenous identification across all relevant data sets continues to be of paramount importance in providing more complete information on the extent of violence among Indigenous Australians.

Writers can submit their work by creating a free account at www.circalit.com and posting their submissions up online.
The deadline for submissions is 15th Sept 2010.
Celebrated author and critic, Kasia Boddy, will judge the final winner from a short list of candidates. Kasia Boddy is author of numerous books including The American Short Story Since 1950, and she is currently editing an anthology of the top 25 American short stories of all time for Penguin Classics.
Little Episodes is a growing phenomenon in London, hosting events where people can display their art, play music, recite poetry and prose, or perform stand up comedy to raise awareness for depression. They are currently producing the second volume of their anthology series, "An Expression of Depression" where the winning short story will be published. Actress Sadie Frost, a contributor to Little Episodes anthology, said of the project, "I just thought, what a great thing to do, to channel that energy into something positive... I was in and out of hospital for a couple of years. The one thing that kept me alive at that time was writing."
Lucie Barât, Founder of Little Episodes, commented, "We're really excited about the idea of doing a peer reviewed competition and we love Circalit's approach. With Circalit, it's not just about having a single winner, it's about getting the public involved by reading submissions and voting for their favourites. Circalit and Little Episodes have the same ethos, we want to give talented artists who haven't had the break that they deserve a platform from which to make themselves heard and get some exposure. We both hope that this will be a good opportunity to raise awareness for mental health issues through art."
Kasia Boddy, Senior Lecturer in English Literature at University College London, commented "I think this is a very worthwhile project and I'm glad to be a part of it. This collaboration between Circalit and Little Episodes demonstrates the strengths of the internet as a social and cultural resource with real potential to change lives."
Circalit, which started life as a site where screenwriters could showcase their work to film studios, has already hosted free competitions with companies such as the BBC and Hollywood producer, Julie Richardson. It's social networking features make it an invaluable resource for writers looking to make industry contacts and it is integrated with Facebook, giving talented writers the means to spread their wings and go viral across the internet.
Raoul Tawadey, CEO and founder of Circalit, said, "We're very happy to be working with Little Episodes, who do a fantastic job destigmatizing depression and encouraging self-expression through creativity. We're proud that Circalit can be used as a platform to bring these issues to life, and we hope to discover some bright new literary talent. This is a great opportunity for writers to gain exposure, so I encourage everyone to read the short stories and vote for your favourites."

SWT Sports Editor
With less than a minute remaining in the third quarter the game was tied, 7-7 and Pulaski County was giving number one ranked Christiansburg all it could handle. Then came a third down pass that was picked off by De'Quan Green-Gause and returned to the Cougar 17. Two plays later the score was, 14-7. Following the kickoff came another third down pass from its own 17-yard line and this time Zach Davis intercepted and returned to the Cougar two. Two plays later the score was suddenly, 21-7 and it was game over.
The final score was, 28-7 Christiansburg in the first River Ridge District game for both teams, but the score was not indicative of the contest at all. Pulaski County took the fight to the Demons for 36 minutes, but in little more than 90 seconds, the issue was decided. The Cougars fell to 0-6 on the season, the Demons move to 6-0.
Obviously, if you're going to knocked off a number one ranked team, and that was exactly Pulaski County's intention, you can't afford mistakes. Both teams made a few, but the Cougars made the two that hurt the most. Pulaski County simply could not make a play through the air. Quarterback Tyler Dotson threw three passes, and Christiansburg caught all three of them.
Once again, it was a frustrated Todd Jones following the game. The Cougar head coach had seen his defense play tough, and battle the Demons nose to nose. Fullback Pierce Rigney attacked the belly of the Demon defense with success, and along with a couple of other big plays Pulaski County was right there, poised to pull the biggest upset of the season, but suddenly the opportunity was gone.
"Both times we were trying to pass in tough situations, but you've got to make plays. It's that simple, if you're going to win, you must make winning plays. You can't turn the ball over and and beat a good team."
Jones was disappointed because he felt his team took the field to win. "The kids played hard. Gosh, they put it on the line. I'm proud of them for that. We played so much better defensively that we have the past few games. The tough competition we've played helped us and will continue to help us. I thought the kids battled and battled, and then in just a couple of minutes it all went away. We all just feel so bad, but we're going to come back Monday, and begin to prepare for Cave Spring and the goal is to get that first win next Friday," said Jones.
The first quarter was scoreless. Christiansburg got on the board with 7:05 left in the first half on a Brenden Motley pass of 25 yards to Kevin Thompson. The Demons tried to threaten again just before the half, but Corky Hall picked off Motley and it was 7-0 Demons at the break.
It looked as if Pulaski County would turn the ball over on downs with the first possession of the third quarter, but Motley was called for roughing the kicker, and the Cougars got a first down at the 49. Two plays later Rick Cobbs looked to be wrapped up in his backfield, but spun free, reversed his field, and rambled 39 yards to a first down at the CHS 13. Five plays later Marcus McClanahan skirted the left side to the end zone from three yards out and Pulaski County had tied the game, 7-7.
The game remained deadlocked until Green-Gause made his pick, the Demons had a first down at the Cougars' 17, and two plays later Zach Snell scored from the eight. Then following the kickoff came another third down pass from the 17, and Davis made his pick and it was first and goal at the Pulaski County two, and Motley sneaked over two plays later and suddenly a deadlocked game had turned into a, 21-7 Demon lead.
The Cougars would not threaten again, and midway through the fourth quarter Motley broke free down the sideline and ran 43 yards to score for the final, 28-7 tally. Motley led the Demons with 117 yards on 15 rushes and he completed six of 10 passes for 82 yards. Hall picked him off and Corey Dobbins also recovered a fumble for the Cougars when Snell was knocked loose from the pigskin. Thompson had the third interception for Christiansburg. The Demon offense, kept in check much of the game, totaled 296 yards. Motley was responsible for 199 of those yards. The Demons finished with 16 first downs.
Pulaski County rushed for 185 yards and that was the total offensive output as Dotson was 0-3 passing with all of them being interceptions. Rigney ran 18 times for 90 yards, Cobbs eight times for 64 yards, and McClanahan 15 times for 31 yards. The Cougars finished with 10 first downs, but none in the last 17 minutes of the game.

Interview: Naureen Zaim
Page 1 of 2
Q-1: You're a model, an actress and a boxer. How did your interest in pursuing these diverse avenues come about?
I moved to LA and I decided to pursue modeling — I was fairly successful and in Hollywood when you model people want to put you in movies, it turns out (laughs). So then I started acting and I took acting classes, I was just, you know, booking things. Whatever I went out for, I would just book it — whether it was a commercial or a small independent film. Then I got the small part in The Wedding Crashers and that really led to more auditions. Then I got the cover of Stuff magazine, and then I was in Maxim, Men's Edge and a few other magazines. I'm just living the dream, I guess — pursuing everything at once.
Q-2: Would you consider yourself a tomboy or more of a girlie-girl at heart?
I'm definitely a tomboy at heart. With the roles I like doing, I prefer being the action star.
Q-3: Do you have any plans to move away from comedic roles — having already appeared in Wedding Crashers and Bruce Almighty?
Sure, I would love to be Wonder Woman! I know they're looking for a statuesque brunette and in Hollywood I feel pretty statuesque, even though I'm only 5'7". I feel very tall in Hollywood compared to the other actresses. They want her to be able to perform all her own stunts without knee pads or elbow pads and I'm like, "That's so me."
Q-4: Tell me about the stunt you did in Spiderman 2?
There's a subway scene where Doc Oc pulls two people out of the subway. I'm not the girl getting pulled out of the window (although I wish I was), I'm the girl standing next to her. I get thrown over a chair and I stand up and I scream.
Sore loser? Don't play anything with Naureen — unless she's on your team...

Athenaeum Theatre
Until April 20
Is Bob Downe gay? Well, duh - is the Pope a Catholic, you may say. But the very core of Mark Trevorrow's alter ego's identity - his gayness - is in question in this latest offering from the veteran cabaret star and host of Good Morning Murwillumbah.
Downe's shtick hasn't really evolved much over the past two decades, and it may well be better suited to venues such as the Bairnsdale RSL, to which he refers during his performance.
But it's still lapped up by the early evening Athaenaeum crowd, which was skewed substantially older than most other Comedy Festival shows.
At least now he can afford a band - a three piece dubbed The Full Catastrophe instead of a Casio-powered backing he employed in his last Melbourne show - which helped punctuate his costume changes and power the kitsch '70s medleys that had the audience singing and clapping along.

With the recent economic changes, many families are trying to find ways to get back to basics and concentrate on quality, cost-effective solutions. Whether you choose to take your kids to the local park instead of going to the movies or growing your own tomatoes instead of ordering pizza, you probably want to provide the best you can for your family without breaking the bank.In my house, we adopted pancake Saturdays instead of the usual trip to the local diner. My son, who is three, loves to help measure the ingredients and tell me when it is pancake time because the water is dancing in the skillet.While it may seem like a very minor change, it has been exponential in the experiences my family has gained. My son loves to learn how to cook, and I know I can add extra fiber to the pancakes, swap out turkey bacon for pork bacon and keep us all a little healthier. It also allows us to sit down together for breakfast, which experts agree can contribute to combating obesity.With the changes my family has experienced from something as simple as a home cooked breakfast, I am always in search of other ways to bring our family closer together. A home bakery bread machine is my most recent find.In our house, the small kitchen is not of a prime space. The Mini Bread Maker offers the same bells and whistles of the larger models, yet does not occupy large space. Since we have acquired the home bakery machine, our family loves to wake with the smell of fresh baked bread. This bread maker comes with a set in advance timer function, which can get started baking bread even while we are sleeping and to have it available at a specified time. This wonderful machine can also make terrific jams and cookie dough. And to top it all, they have even attached an easy portable carrying handle, which makes this appliance convenient to bring along. With regards to cooking, the possibilities are endless, you manage the ingredients. Our family, for instance, like to add fiber, so we always have cinnamon, bananas, zucchinis and molasses in to our seven grain loaf for breakfast toasts.Often adding squash puree, wheat germ and dill makes sandwich breads more special. For desert breads, I might add some onion powder, jalapenos and sun-dried tomatoes. When it comes to making homemade bread, variations are limitless, the key is simply creativity. Also, maintaining a home bakery bread machine is fairly easy as you won't need large space for storing or counter space when using it.If you want a wonderful home bread machine that can do all this, try the top-of-the-line Zojirushi Home Bakery Mini Brad Machine.Zojirushi is considered one of the best brand names for home appliances like bread makers and rice cookers. With the Zojirushi home bread machines, you'll enjoy warm, fresh bread every morning!

The U.S. Apple Store now lists the shipping availability as "Within 24hrs." This is obviously good news for consumers and Santa's helpers alike. It is also good news for investors, eagerly awaiting their inevitable holiday success. Perhaps the only thing holding back Apple's rocketing sales has been their insufficient production.
Apple reported 14.1 million iPhone sales in Q4 of 2010. That figure is twice the number of the same period last year. In a recent investor meeting, Apple told their investors that they could have done even better...if they had the supply to meet the demand. Well, nothing's holding them back now. We can't help but wonder why we didn't invest in Apple a long, long time ago.

Power to the People of Alaska
The Anchorage Daily News has an interesting editorial today by Alaska resident and green water scientist Gershon Cohen entitled "Power to the People, Not the Cruise Industry." He characterizes Governor Parnell's decision to reduce the cruise "head tax" from $46 a cruise passenger to only $19 as a sell out to the Miami-based cruise lines.
Dr. Cohen is right. The citizens of Alaska voted for the tax to protect their state and its beautiful waters from exploitation and pollution by cruise ships operated by Carnival and Royal Caribbean and their subsidiaries - Celebrity, Holland America Lines, and Princess Cruises. Governor Parnell's unilateral decision to dump 60% of the cruise tax approved by Alaskan voters raises the question - who is calling the shots here? The people of Alaska or Carnival's tax-avoiding Mickey Arison?
Dr. Cohen has a right to be sensitive about Carnival's control over the politics in Alaska. When Dr. Cohen was appointed to a waste water panel which regulated cruise ship emissions, the cruise industry complained and Dr. Cohen was unceremoniously removed.
I written many articles about how foreign incorporated cruise lines pay zero federal taxes on the $35,000,000,000 (billion) in cruise fares from mostly U.S. tax-paying citizens - by flagging their cruise ships in foreign countries. And there is no doubt that the cruise lines are making money hand over fist. Just the other day, Forbes announced three cruise tycoons as some of the richest people in the world - "Cruise Line Fat Cat Billionaires."
The Miami cruise lines may be rich, but its the people of Alaska who have the power. Unless they want to follow Governor Parnell's lead and roll over and play dead for Mickey and his Miami-based cruise ships.
Additional Information to Consider: In 2009, Alaska issued a record number of waste water violation notices to the cruise industry. The citizens of Alaska are smart to assess a fair tax against these cruise ships to protect their waters and support the state's infrastructure.
The major polluters and violators of Alaska's environmental laws were Princess Cruises (photo above) and Holland America Lines (HAL). Listen here for audio from a local NPR station in Sitka, Alaska.

New York: Internet giant Google Inc has decided to extend its social networking service, Google Plus, for businesses and brands also, in addition to the individual users being tapped till now. With its latest initiative, the US-based firm is looking to bring large global brands, as also local businesses, on its Google Plus platform to promoter their products.
To start with, about 20 businesses such as Pepsi, Toyota and Barcelona Football club have already set up special pages on the Google Plus social network, the company said. Dubbed as 'Google Plus Pages', the new service would help businesses create a presence on the social network platform for connecting with their users locally and worldwide.
"So far Google Plus has focused on connecting people with other people. But we want to make sure you can build relationships with all the things you care about?from local businesses to global brands — So we' re rolling out Google+ Pages worldwide," Google Senior Vice President (Engineering) Vic Gundotra, wrote in a blog post. Google Plus business pages will be available through both on the social network and as well as through Google's web search engine.
Google said that users would need to add a plus symbol, followed by the page they are looking for, such as +Toyota. The search, called Direct Connect, only works for a limited number of pages but that "many more are coming."
Social networking major Facebook already allows businesses and brands to connect with their customers through its 'Like' button.
Google Plus has attracted more than over 40 million users since it initial launch in June for select users, indicating a huge interest in such services from internet users. The service was opened to general public on September 20. Rival Facebook, which dominates the social networking space, took three years to reach the 25 million users mark and crossed 50 million active users mark in October 2007.

Sam Houston outclasses Brackenridge
Hurricanes overwhelm Eagles behind massive offensive front.
Published 1:15 am, Saturday, August 27, 2011
Sam Houston used its advantage in size and speed to roll past Brackenridge 45-13 in both teams' season openers in front of 2,127 fans at Alamo Stadium on Friday night.
JeQuan McBride, running behind an offensive line that boasts four players who weigh 295 pounds or more, exploited numerous openings. The speedy back had eight carries for 103 yards and three touchdowns against Brackenridge, whose biggest player checks in at 280.
"We worked hard all offseason," McBride said. "Our offensive line really worked hard, and the skill positions, we worked hard right along with them, and it just paid off."
Sports Channel
Arizona recruit Leo Thomas Jr. had a touchdown catch and an interception in the victory, while fellow big-time recruit Javonte Magee led a defensive line that limited Brackenridge to 73 yards rushing, most of that tacked on when the game had already been decided.
In fact, only the heat slowed down the Hurricanes. Several players, including Thomas and McBride, had to spend time on the sideline in the second half because of cramps.
Sam Houston had three interceptions, with Gary Reed returning one for a TD to start the second half. Trevon Fennell also added a TD for Sam Houston.
Anthony Garza and Jose Tovar reached the end zone for Brackenridge.
Thomas started the scoring with a 41-yard TD catch on Sam Houston's first possession, and by the time the first half was over the Hurricanes were up 23-7 and never looked back.
"We're ready," Thomas said. "We're ready. We're trying to get something done this year."

You're on your commute to work or school, you turn on the radio and that one song is playing that gets you in the groove, has you singing along and makes you want to move your body. That feeling you get is just days away, and you don't need stereo sound either. These kids will give it to you live.
The Pulaski County High School Choral Department will present its winter concert Friday, Dec. 14, in the PCHS Little Theatre, at 7 p.m.
Classic Christmas tunes such as "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," "Let it Snow," and "The First Noel" will be performed along with novelty selections such as "Sparklejollytwinklejingley" from the Broadway musical "Elf" and the big band tune "Hot Chocolate" from the movie "Polar Express."
Remember the British duo Wham? Advanced Concert Choir will perform their ever-popular hit "Last Christmas."
A concert wouldn't be complete without participation from the audience. A carol sing-along with the audience and combined choirs will conclude the show.
According to choir director Angela Talbert, "It should be a night of fun and entertainment for everyone."
The concert begins at 7, doors open at 6. Admission is free; however, donations to the Choral Department will be accepted at the door.

JIMMY REID has given his strongest hint yet that he will remain Selby Town's manager next season.
The former Pickering Town boss who took charge at Flaxley Road late last year following the departure of Ian Dring, initially signed up until the end of the Northern Counties East League first division season.
But, having settled in with the Robins, the ex-Nestlé Rowntree stalwart is considering giving the outfit another season to see if he can bring them back into the premier division.
"I am really thinking about it," he said. "It would be nice for me and Deano (coach Dean McAuley) to consider another season at Selby.
"It's another year to have a clean slate and with a set of players that I want to go and get."
Chief among Reid's thinking is his desire to leave regional management on his own terms following his abrupt sacking by Pickering last November.
His team are set to travel to Worsbrough Bridge Athletic in the league tomorrow and Reid has brought experience into the side by registering McAuley as a player and signing former Pikes favourite Steve Baxter from Tadcaster Albion.
The latter is unavailable for the Worsbrough encounter and Reid said it was a young side that would predominantly represent the club on the run-in.
He added: "I've also signed Joe Connor, who was playing for Dringhouses and Pickering last year, and Matty Turnbull, who is coming back from a cruciate injury.
"We will look to get some games out of them before the end of the season and they will be cover players.
"I'm trying to get a lot of players because we have got a lot of games between now and the end of the season.
"I've also put a seven-day notice in for Liam Shepherd (former Pickering winger). He will sign on and play in midweek.
"Worsbrough is a tough pitch and a tough place to go. As I keep saying, we are just looking to pick some points up."
Table-topping Tadcaster Albion know they must keep winning if they are to retain hopes of taking the NCEL premier division title.
With teams around them enjoying games in hand, the Brewers have bounced back from their drubbing by Brighouse Town with back-to-back victories.
Paul Marshall's men entertain Athersley Recreation at Ings Lane at 3pm. The boss told the club's website: "We had a tough game when we went to Athersley on that Wednesday night in October.
"They are a well-organised team, and without that penalty, it could have gone either way.
"Our home form has been very good, though, so we've got to make sure we capitalise on every home fixture because that's where we pick up the wins."
Mitch Cook has admitted he could have done without successive postponements as his Pickering Town team prepare to face Glasshoughton Welfare in the premier division.
Games against Dronfield in the League Cup and against Bridlington Town in the league fell foul of the weather and Cook is desperate for his side to get back into action at the Recreation Ground.
"Lads are still working and we have trained on Tuesday and Thursday night but there is nothing better than playing games," he said.
"Players can get complacent otherwise and it can take a little time to get back into it.
"We have got to go into the game with the right attitude and, hopefully, we will be better than them."
The break has meant Joe Danby could recover from an injured ankle and the club's top scorer should be back.
Elsewhere, Harrogate Town welcome Boston United to Wetherby Road in Conference North. Neighbours Harrogate Railway are not in Evo-Stik first division north action.
Scarborough Athletic are at Newcastle Town in the first division south and Knaresborough Town entertain Eccleshill United in the NCEL first division.

The dress
A feathered wedding dress is not only gorgeous, but it can give off a lightweight feel while still giving the gown beautiful volume – similar to ruffles (but a bit more modern!) Feathers can be worked into any wedding gown style you may be looking at. My personal favorite has to be the strapless gown with feathers starting from the waist and showering down, creating a full, textured and romantic look.
The invitations
Feathers, when added to invitations, can create a pop of texture and color to an invite. Attach them to the stationary with crystal brads (thanks Pinterest!) or wrap a stunningly vibrant peacock feather around the invites to impress your guests – this is especially perfect if your wedding colors include blues, greens or browns!
The bouquet
Many brides are opting for feathers over flowers when they walk down the aisle. Consider a full fan of feathers or, if you want flowers, add a few feathers into the arrangement to create a soft texture, dimension and maybe even add more color into the mix. Some of the most popular to throw in your blooms are ostrich feathers, peacock feathers and even pheasant feathers!
The centerpieces
Fill vases with a few of your favorite feathers to create a truly stunning arrangement. Much like bouquets, feathers can stand alone or work to accompany flowers, embellishments, fruit and candles! On Pinterest, I found an especially beautiful centerpiece filled with large white feathers and a stunning display of calla lilies. The two work together to create a beautiful blend of textures, perfect for any wedding reception.
The hair
Remember Carrie Bradshaw's wedding from the Sex and the City movie? She sported a gorgeous blue father in her hair to add a touch of glamour. Although her wedding didn't quite turn out as planned, her hair still looked gorgeous! If you're looking for a little something more subtle, try a feathered headband or a small feather to slip into your locks right before the ceremony.

On February 22, the National Park Service announced a new policy to try and control the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer in the park. Here is the release in it's entirety.
Beginning March 1, 2010, Shenandoah National Park will institute an Outside Firewood Ban in an attempt to slow the spread of the Emerald Ash Borer. The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) is a destructive invasive exotic beetle that feeds on ash trees. As of 2009, the EAB is responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of ash trees throughout the Midwest and in some eastern states. Currently, the closest documented EAB infestation is in Fairfax County, Virginia, only 55 miles east of Shenandoah's northern boundary. Foresters across the state are working to control the spread of this devastating insect through quarantines, bans, and public education.
The EAB is often spread by the movement of infested firewood. Over the last several years, EAB infested firewood has been found at campgrounds, hunting camps, NASCAR events, rest stops, and picnic areas throughout the Midwest and Eastern U.S. The park's campgrounds and picnic areas are the most likely areas for EAB introduction into Shenandoah National Park. Because of the seriousness of a potential infestation, park managers are implementing the firewood ban effective March 1, 2010. The regulation will require that visitors not bring any firewood (or wood scraps) into the park. Visitors may gather dead and downed firewood in the park or purchase wood at Park Camp Stores. The park's vendor's sources have been approved and are being monitored for EAB. Additionally, visitors are encouraged to use charcoal for cooking fires.
White ash trees, comprising approximately 4% of the park's overall forest, are found in 16 forest communities that together cover 65% of the park's acreage. Given what is known about EAB infestations, an outbreak in Shenandoah National Park could lead to the loss of white ash in the park and surrounding areas. Shenandoah's managers want to avoid the same widespread devastation to the ash population that the woolly adelgid has wrought on the Eastern Hemlock.

The Australian sharemarket continued its disheartening slide to close near the low of the day ahead of the northern hemisphere open this evening.
At 16:00 AEDT, the S&PASX 200 had shed 12.8 points, and eased again within the next 10 minutes to close down 14.5 points at 4225.1 points.
The broader All Ordinaries index was 15.4 points, or 0.36 per cent, weaker at 4287.6 points.
On the ASX 24, the March share price index futures contract was off 25 points at 4194 points on turnover of 14,841 contracts.
Economic news remained generally weak.
On Saturday, HSBC's "flash" estimate of China's manufacturing PMI data for January, came in at 48.8 points – up on December's figure – but still implying a contraction. Europe failed to thrash out a debt-swap accord on the weekend and caution prevailed ahead of the northern hemisphere opening tonight.
Not even the US could supply positive news, the National Association for Business Economics' industry survey finding that two-thirds of respondents did not expect to increase hiring, believing the US economy would be only slightly stronger.
Not surprisingly, base metals turned in a mixed performance on the weekend, copper down 1.7 per cent, retreating from a four-month high, and oil prices easing across the board. None of this did much to help the mining sector, which tracked lower in line with the broader market.
Rio rose 23¢ to $67.76, BHP fell 25¢ to $37.23 and Mirabella Nickel shed 8¢ to $1.22.
The A-REIT sector led losses, down 1.3 per cent.
The banks were mixed, the market registering little response to Treasurer Wayne Swan's enthusiastic welcome to the prospect of overseas banks entering the Australian loan market.
Westpac fell 18¢ to $20.50, Commonwealth bank rose 6¢ to $49.89, NAB gained 1¢ to $23.89. ANZ was steady at $20.89.
AMCIL was steady at 67¢ after announcing a 2.2 per cent fall in profit.

super nice!

AllShare is pretty cool, but sharing with phones right next to you, meh. I like the idea of accessing content from my home PC server anytime. It seemed a little buggy too, but I'm hoping she just didn't do something right ;)
2. medicci37 (Posts: 1336; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
There are other phones out.(with similar specs) It's Phone Arena. Not Samsung Arena. Hope all the articles on here for the next month are not confined to Scamsung products.
3. LegedaryRelic (Posts: 10; Member since: 04 May 2012)
For now it's GS3 Arena, as they just had their big launch. I've seen plenty of coverage of other phones prior to this launch so I'm glad to getting as much info as possible.
5. medicci37 (Posts: 1336; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
They already covered it plenty. There isn't much on PA about the sg3 that wasn't in the Scamsung launch yesterday. I don't see any differance between Scamsung & ifraud fanboys. It's like republicans & democrats... They both suck in different ways.
7. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
if you dont like the coverage then dont read it mate its that simple PA is not forcing you to read it.
8. medicci37 (Posts: 1336; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
This isn't Australia. Rupert Murdoch don't run sht here mate :) I expect better from PA.
9. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Lol what's this got to do with murdoch... All am. Saying is if you don't like the s3 news then don't read it... That's like eating something you don't like even though you got the choice of not eating it.
11. medicci37 (Posts: 1336; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
I already now all this info, from yesterday. Im just saying PA has done this sg thing to death. & they should move on now. The sg3 does not deserve this much coverage. & these so-called articles are starting to sound more like adds.
12. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
I get what you mean but it's not just PA and it what happens with all big launch really... It happens with iPhone. HTC etc... Don't b surprised if this s3 thing drags on until the US release lol :)

And if so, how the heck does he get such flat shots with it?!
Nalbandian does not have a full western grip.
Is it semi-western?
Yes, it is a semi western. You can tell the difference. Look at the way Nalbandian hits the ball and then look at Nadal, a true full western forehand grip.

"For by grace are you saved through faith" (Ephesians 2:8)
We had traveled about a half day and were making good progress when someone asked, "Hey, so what's that funnel all about in the Tour Guide?"
Yea, I was wondering when somebody was going to notice that. So, let's talk about it.
Remember that Paul told us that we are saved by grace through faith. In our visual Tour Guide drawing, we can see "grace" entering the "funnel of faith" at the top. When grace passes through faith, what comes out of the funnel, and floods our lives is — salvation.
Salvation. That's a word we need to examine closer. Most of us assume that it means "being born again." No, it is much more than that. Being born again is but one part of the great salvation we have in Jesus.
By definition, salvation is the complete reordering of our entire lives in keeping with the will of God. Faith, another word we need to redefine, means something much more than merely "believing" – it means "knowing."
Faith is the conscious awareness of what meets with God's approval (as revealed to us by the Spirit of God through the Word), and the courageous decision to live within that conviction. James Ryle
"Faith comes by hearing," the Bible says. And note; it does not say, faith comes by reading. There are many who read the Bible and never hear what God is saying. They see the golden leaves on the surface of the river, but do not see the true gold beneath the surface on the river bed.
We hear when the Spirit of God opens our hearts to God's voice. Faith comes when the gift of hearing occurs, and in that moment we not only know God's will, but we are also filled with the desire to do God's will.
Putting this all together here is what we learn.
When we hear (i.e., experience the gift of faith that causes us to know) what God is saying to us, and we agree with Him (i.e., humbling ourselves in the sight of the Lord), then God gives us grace (i.e., the power of Christ to do God's will) and we experience salvation (i.e., the complete reordering of our entire lives in keeping with God's will).
And that's what the "funnel" is all about.
So, if there are no other questions, let's pick up the pace. Having made this journey before, I can tell you that we are in for a special treat first thing tomorrow. The Ancient Library (where I received my credentials for this Tour) is but a half day's distance ahead.
We'll stop there for an extended visit before we make our final push to the place named Grace.

The Vault news
New admin: Veryblackraven
Our admin team has grown yet again: Veryblackraven has applied for adminship and the community has granted the request. Congratulations!
MyHome enabled again
After MyHome was disabled entirely a month ago based on a community decision, it has now been partially re-enabled. While direct links to Special:MyHome are still redirected back to the main page (to counter the forced redirect from http://fallout.wikia.com to MyHome), it is now possible to access MyHome by adding
?redirect=no to the end of the URL, i.e. by using links like
http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Special:MyHome?redirect=no. The links to MyHome in the site skin have been changed to reflect this change.
This means the feature is no longer disabled for those who actually want to use it, while still addressing the community concern regarding the forced redirect.
Editor spotlight: MikaelGrizzly
In the next few issues of the weekly digest we are going to feature some of our major contributors in recognition for their efforts to make The Vault the best Fallout resource available.
MikaelGrizzly is one of our most long-standing editors and administrators, well known for being exceptionally polite and diplomatic (:-P). He is one of the major contributors to our Fallout and Fallout 2 articles, only occasionally straying into Fallout 3 and Fallout Tactics articles, and also provides a lot of screenshots for these games.
The Good Old Games character overhaul competition saw him scoring a landslide victory, and he has been initiator and project leader for the MSG Wikification Drive, the first project to be completed at The Vault.
Other sites where you may run into MikaelGrizzly are the Command & Conquer Wiki (where he is a bureaucrat) and No Mutants Allowed (where he is an administrator).
New name for the weekly digest
We're currently considering renaming the weekly digest, seeing as it is not actually a weekly feature recently. Although a few editors already suggested new names, please feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments.
Wikia news
Rich text editor upgrade
The rich text editor has received an upgrade and The Vault is one of four established wikis where it can already be used (newly created wikis will already have it enabled as well). There are no revolutionary changes in how the editor is used but the upgrade promises to address the main issues with the previous incarnation:
- Faster loading of the edit window.
- Images and videos now use built-in browser drag and drop functionality which is much more reliable.
- Reworked article parsing which results in fewer spacing and formatting changes in underlying wikitext.
Be sure to post any bugs you come across in the forum thread so they can be fixed quickly. As before, the RTE is enabled by default for all anonymous users while registered users can choose their editor via Special:Preferences.
New MyHome feature: WikiStickies
A new feature called "WikiStickies" has been added to MyHome. The feature adds a new area in sticky note design and is intended to point contributors toward pages that need their help. The first version shows three kinds of pages:
- Articles that don't have any pictures
- Brand new articles, which often need to be expanded
- Article titles that are linked to, but don't exist yet
Currently the list of stickies is generated automatically but it is supposed to be become customizable by admins in future updates.
Fall 2009 update
Wikia has released a "Fall 2009 Update" staff blog which summarizes Wikia's performance in the past months. It includes a short summary of major new features which were introduced as well as a list of improvements which are currently in development.
What is the weekly digest?
The weekly digest is a weekly summary of The Vault's internal news with the purpose to help editors keep up with what's going on at the wiki. It is the place to mention all the small things and improvements which do not justify an own news item and will be posted weekly on the main page. If you think that something should be added to the next digest, please list it here.
