Louis Walsh has denied reports that he chose yet another bad song for District 3 on The X Factor this evening.
The vocal group were concerned when they found out that they would be performing 'I Swear' on the love and heartbreak themed episode and worried that the audience would find it dated.
Their concerns were valid, as after their performance tonight, Gary Barlow slated them saying:
"The song was in the wrong key. That very last note was really as well. The song choice was very dated. In the battle of the boybands Union J have taken it tonight."
Many fans on Twitter blasted the boys' mentor for picking a bad track for the second week running.
However, speaking on The Xtra Factor, Louis insisted that it was a good number for the boys to sing. He said:
"I'm very happy with the song and I love the harmony vocals. It's early days… I want to show off their harmonies."
Walsh added:
"Everybody can't be singing and dancing, that's Rylan's thing. It is all about the vocals with District 3."
Nicole Scherzinger agreed with Louis on the song choice, however she still didn't like the band's performance. She insisted:
"I think it was a great song that Louis picked, it was just how the boys delivered it."
The boys weren't even fans of the performance themselves and apologised to fans a few minutes ago, saying
"Sorry we let u guys down. Hopefully we can prove ourselves next week if we get voted to stay in x"
Did you enjoy District 3's performance tonight? Do you think they are in danger of leaving tomorrow? Leave your comments below…..
Meanwhile, see where we ranked District 3 and their fellow contestants in our X Factor week 2 chart here.

Earlier this week I put an order in for a Leisure Line Hearth model stove. My dealer is Hollenbeck Feed and Coal near Owego, NY. The folks there were very knowledgable. I went there thinking I would buy a hand-fired fireplace insert, but after talking to Gary and his wife, I decided on the LL Hearth. I think the deciding point for me was the Coal-Trol.
I plan to do the installation myself. I have previous experience with wood stoves, but any tips would be appreciated I have a 12 inch square flue which I plan to vent it through. Do you think I will need to go with a stainless steel liner ?
Any input will be appreciated.

Only one team in the NBA can manage to lose like this. And thats our beloved Losers.
A must win game, 17 point lead in the 4th and they screw it up. They got the lead by getting to the basket, getting in the lanes and making scoring passes. They got the lead and then they started playing good ol Pacers ball, jack up a few jumpshots early in the jumpshot, turn it over a few times and watch the other team cut the damn lead.
And BTW as soon as the Bulls hit 2 buckets in a row and cut the lead down to 11 I beleive, I turned to my dad and said that the Pacers would lose this game. Once the slide starts to happen, they dont know how to stop it never.
Nope this isnt nothing close to Rick's fault. And other then his rotations I will never fault him for anything.
I sat and watched the meltdown and I asked my self what the hell am I *****ing at Rick for. What is the man supposed to do when your team sucks, teams that suck dont win and thats what we are doing, we are not winning.
Every damn close game they dont win because they are gutless, no one on this team wants the ball when the game is on the line and we need a damn point, they might want the ball but they wont make the damn shot.
No heart at all. This team is full of losers. They dont deserve to make the playoffs and get a chance to play with the elite teams they dont deserve it.
Ron Artest was a idiot but at least he had heart. We never lost games like this when Ron was on the team, and thats something no body on this team has heart. When the Bulls where on the 17-2 run no one stepped up and made a damn basket to stop the run.
Like I said I hope they dont make the playoffs cause they dont deserve it, maybe if they dont make it they will feel hungry next year. But I doubt it, whats to get hungry about, everyone has a nice 40 million dollar deal.
Those guys that said blow the team up and start over during the offseason I'm with you. I'm tired of this ****.
Way to fight for it Pacers, when its most important to fight and win games you go on a 5 game losing streak. Pacers team all talk and no play.

The former teacher's debut album, Premiere, is number one in the classical charts.
The 23-year-old from Neath regularly sings the national anthem before Welsh home games.
In March she clinched a £1m-plus recording deal with Universal records, thought to be the biggest contract ever signed by a British classical artist.
The mezzo-soprano said she was delighted to have got to number one.
"My three ambitions have always been to sing
at the Millennium Stadium and the Sydney Opera House," she said, "and to get to number one
in the classical charts and I can't believe I've done all three.
"I am totally overwhelmed," she added.
Jenkins graduated from the Royal Academy in 2002 and recently gave up her job as a music teacher.
Her record label represents a series of other classical performers - including fellow Welsh singer Bryn Terfel, Pavarotti and Placido Domingo.
Jenkins has been touring with another Universal artist, Hayley Westenra.
The 16-year-old from New Zealand had the top-selling classical album of the year with her debut Pure, which has sold almost 600,000 copies in the UK

This concern relates to vehicles equipped with the E4OD and 4R100 automatic transmissions. Fluid leaks from the rear of the transmission and excessive vibration felt in the vehicle while driving can be caused by a lack of lubrication to the rear of the transmission and rear seal failure. The extension housing (rear portion of transmission) can lose lubrication if the fluid supply hole becomes clogged. This leads to rear seal failure from lack of lubrication, and can cause bearing failure in the extension housing. The extension housing and gasket should be replaced and verify the fluid supply hole is clear of debris.

A hybrid of family office and fund of hedge funds, Chalkstream Capital Group has cashed in on some of the most profitable trades of the past decade. Now, the New York firm is deploying a carefully crafted Japan strategy.
By Imogen Rose-Smith
Chalkstream Capital Group CIO Andrew Tsai
Page 1 of 2
HAVE invested with him. But when it comes to Chalkstream
Capital Group and its CIO, Andrew Tsai, the California
physicist-turned-hedge-fund-manager, who earned a fortune
shorting the U.S. subprime market, makes an exception. I
found Andrew and his team to be highly intelligent, very
engaged and very well informed as to their understanding of the
space, says Burry, who wasnt always on the very
best of terms with all his investors. Today, Burry manages only
his own money.
Tsai needs to be exceptional. Chalkstreams small
client base consists almost entirely of hedge fund executives
and partners at major banks and asset managers who have
entrusted the New Yorkbased firm with their personal
capital. As some of the worlds top investors, they have
high expectations none more so than Tsais business
partner, Peter Muller, a former proprietary trader at Morgan
Stanley who left the bank last year and launched quantitative
hedge fund firm PDT Partners.
Muller and Tsai founded Chalkstream in 2003 as a family
office to run Mullers money. From the start, though, they
planned to attract like-minded capital and create a bespoke
firm catering to sophisticated investors. The pair found
clients who could stomach relatively high risk and volatility
in exchange for the potential payoff from bold bets on unique
opportunities. We want to traffic in areas where there is
not a lot of capital chasing for returns, says Tsai in an
interview at Chalkstreams Midtown Manhattan offices in
the Random House Tower, an address the firm shares with
Tsai and his 12-member team have caught some of the most
interesting and profitable trades of the past decade. Despite
Chalkstreams impressive pedigree and investor base,
however, its overall returns have yet to truly impress. But the
firm is confident that it can hit a home run with its biggest
bet yet: on Japan, the graveyard of many a brave fund. If
Tsai succeeds, Chalkstream will have lived up to
its promise.
With $700 million in assets and a dozen significant
outside clients, Chalkstream is a hybrid of family office and
fund of hedge funds. When it isnt developing its own
investment ideas, it looks for one-of-a-kind managers like
Burry and his former firm Scion Capital. Chalkstreams
fund-of-hedge-funds portfolio consists of 15 to 20 managers,
and it keeps a second, less-liquid portfolio for major tactical
though not necessarily directional bets and
private-equity-type opportunities. The mix can vary, but the
firm typically splits its assets about 60-40 between the two.
Chalkstream charges an annual 1 percent management fee and 10
percent performance fee on the hedge fund portfolio, and a 15
percent private-equity-like performance fee for the illiquid
The firms philosophy sets it apart from institutional
investors and funds of hedge funds that focus on asset
allocation and avoid market timing. Chalkstream tries to stay
out of step with stocks and bonds its clients have
enough exposure to both and makes large calls that would
spook more-traditional investors. We think traditional
asset allocation is very dangerous, Tsai says,
since people are allocating on the past, not the future.
We are not in the business of filling buckets; we are in the
business of finding opportunities.
Besides shorting subprime mortgages in 2007, Chalkstream
profited from 2009s run-up in Brazilian commercial real
estate and the 2010 subprime rally. To really thrive,
though, the firm must grow its assets. With that in mind, Tsai
and Muller want to start attracting institutional capital.
Theyre keen to lure some big fish: corporate pension
funds and other institutions that might see their shop as an
idea generator as well as an investment opportunity.
But even a sophisticated hybrid firm like Chalkstream faces
the same headwinds as other hedge fund advisory businesses.
Many investors are unwilling to pay the double layer of fees,
the cost of doing business and the barriers to entry are
rising, and few managers are posting extraordinary returns.
Investors may admire Chalkstream, but privately some admit to
disappointment with its performance. Through the end of 2012,
it had returned an annualized 5.6 percent net of fees since
inception in 2003, compared with 50 basis points for the HFRI
Fund of Funds Composite index, but Chalkstream was stung hard
in 2008, when its hedge fund portfolio finished the year down
44 percent. (The firm declined to comment on performance.)
Although Chalkstream quickly bounced back, the 2008 stumble
also raised questions about the teams ability to time its
best ideas given its relatively early exit from the subprime
trade. These are questions that the firm hopes to silence with
the new Japan investment.
That trade has an equity and a credit component. Known for
its deep-dive investment process, the team has been researching
the Japanese market for at least six years, led by partner and
investment analyst Rishi Shah, who has visited the Land of the
Rising Sun alone and with Tsai. In Tsais view the current
Japanese economy shares some structural similarities with the
U.S. subprime market before 2007. As proof of its conviction,
Chalkstream is raising its first-ever stand-alone fund for the
I look at what they are doing in Japan right now, and
I really like their thesis, says longtime Chalkstream
investor Arjun Divecha, chairman and head of emerging markets
at $106 billion, Boston-based money manager GMO (formerly
Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co.). What is exciting
to me is the way they are going about it. For more than
two decades, Japan has proved a terrible place to invest,
Divecha notes, but Tsai and company have found a can
opener to open the can that has real potential, he
Tsai, 41, was born in St. Louis; his family had moved there
from Taiwan so his father could earn a Ph.D. in engineering.
The younger Tsai graduated from the Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania in 1993 with a BS in economics; he
wrote his senior thesis on how to set up a hedge fund.
After interning with broker-dealer Susquehanna International
Group, working as an open-outcry trader on the floor of the
Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Tsai joined Lehman Brothers
Holdings fixed-income trading desk in New York. In 1997
he left Lehman to become CIO of New
Yorkbased Integrity Capital Management, a
quantitative hedge fund he launched with four other partners,
including two former Goldman Sachs Asset Management executives.
At Integrity, Tsai got to know Chalkstream co-founder Muller,
an investor in the fund. I was just really impressed by
how he thought, how he conducted business, his character and
his passion, says Muller, whose PDT Partners manages more
than $2 billion in assets.
Integrity closed its doors in 1999, a victim of the crash
that brought down its much larger rival Long-Term Capital
Management. Tsai joined the tech boom, becoming president of
Urbanfetch, a start-up with offices in
New York and London that let customers order whatever they
wanted online and receive it by messenger. By 2003, Urbanfetch,
like many other dot-coms, had folded. Tsai was working in
London as CEO and director of Global Name Registry, an Internet
infrastructure company backed by U.S. private equity firm
Carlyle Group, when Muller came knocking.
Now 49, Muller grew up in Philadelphia and New Jersey and
majored in math at Princeton University. After college he moved
to the San Francisco Bay Area and took a job as a researcher
and programmer at pioneering quantitative research firm Barra.
In 1992 he moved to Morgan Stanley, where he built up its famed
proprietary quantitative trading business, PDT although
the bank never broke out returns, this unit was known to be
highly profitable and quickly established a reputation
in the close-knit quant community.
I think the first time I ever spoke to Pete, he called
me up to yell at me, says Clifford Asness, founding and
managing principal of $70 billion, Greenwich,
Connecticutbased quantitative alternative-investment firm
AQR Capital Management. Muller had gotten wind that AQR might
be interviewing someone from PDT, and he was not happy. The two
quickly put the matter behind them and became friends, but
Asness says Muller remains quietly one of the most
competitive guys youll ever meet.
While at Morgan Stanley, Muller started investing his own
money with hedge fund managers. I realized that trying to
pick good funds, keep track of how they were
doing and figure out how to allocate was just as challenging an
investment business as running a hedge fund, he says.
If I was going to do it, I wanted to do it well,
and I didnt have time or inclination to run another
business myself.
Muller decided to launch a family office and put Tsai
in charge, but he knew he would have to be open to accepting
other peoples money. I didnt have enough
capital to afford Andrew and a world-class team, says the
skilled pianist and songwriter, who has performed at numerous
venues in New York City. So the idea was that over
time if we were successful and we liked doing it, we would
bring in outside investors.

A Bride Without A Dress Is Like A Desert Without Sand
A bridal store in Charlotte, NC, went bankrupt and left a bunch of brides without wedding dresses, some just weeks away from getting married. I laughed a little bit because some of the women in the video are crying, but then I thought about how frustrating that would be — not only did they lose "the dress" that they probably spent months looking for, but some spent as much as $5,000 and don't even have a dress to show for it. Perhaps they should make up their lost money by forgoing a dress and getting married in the nude. [CNN]

Russia to punish international payment systems for single-handed actions
The Central Bank of the Russian Federation is ready to consider the introduction of liability for payment systems in the event they suspend servicing bank cards of natural persons. The move can be done in finalizing amendments to the law "On the national payment system," Izvestia wrote.
The adequate proposals are contained in an official response from first deputy chairman of the Central Bank, Alexei Simanovsky, to deputy inquiry from a representative of the Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes, Oksana Dmitrieva. The latter demanded the Central Bank should indemnify those who suffered losses from the actions of Visa and MasterCard. After the U.S. Treasury announced sanctions against Russian citizens and companies, the two payment systems stopped servicing the cards issued by bank Russia and its "daughters" - Sobinbank InvestCapitalBank and SMP Bank.
According to the Central Bank, the actions of the international systems affected hundreds of thousands of bank customers.

One of my goals for starting a blog was to hold myself accountable for going out and investigating all the great things the Axis of Cool has to offer. There is no shortage, people, of things to do around here. I realize this is kind of a Champagne Problem, but lately I have been so busy doing fun Triangle things, that I have run out of time to write about them. All of these deserve far more than a mention, but this is what the last week looked like:
Sunday: Low Anthem, with William Elliot Whitmore at Local 506. (Thanks for the tip, Tracy, and you were right as always!) Two highlights: 1) the audience participation at Low Anthem involved having each of us call the person next to us, turn on our speakerphones, and hold our phones up to each other. Try it, it's nutty, and 2) absolutely everything William Elliot Whitmore sang. Phenomenal blues, y'all, and he's on my short list of favorites now.
Monday: Secret Sisters, Brandi Carlile, and Ray Lamontagne in Cary. I actually liked them in more or less reverse order. Secret Sisters did sweet southern honky-tonk, and we'll be hearing more from them. Brandi Carlisle started her set with "Alone is the Last Place I Wanted to Be." Way to knock a girl flat with the first song. That one is seriously prescription strength. Ray Lamontagne has a voice like no other, and it was a perfect night for a mellow concert.
Tuesday: Heard the mayor speak at a Triangle Breakfast Club meeting. Hats of to Charles Meeker; I've been in Raleigh long enough to see evidence of positive change all around me, and it's largely due to his tireless efforts and cheerful participation in countless city events. I hate to see this era come to an end, but he deserves a break, and he feels pretty good about all the candidates for the October 11th election. (You're voting, right?)
Wednesday: The Walkmen and Fleet Foxes. Amazing show. Less so, the weather. I have never, ever been less dry. But I'm glad I went.
Thursday: Secret class at Wake Tech. I am improving my mind, y'all. Dinner at Remedy afterwards wasn't half bad.
Friday: The Monti, at the Haw River Ballroom.
Saturday: French Broad Fall Fest. Mountains and back in 30 hours. Whew.
I am slightly concerned that my calendar, for the next few weeks, looks pretty much this full. But given that 'most everything on the to-do list is highly enjoyable, I am not complaining. I had to flip ahead to November though, and pick a weekend on the calendar which is now clearly marked, "NOTHING ON THE CALENDAR." I'll have to fight to keep it that way, and I'll probably spend that whole weekend in my pajamas and speak only to the pizza delivery guy. It'll be great.
Meanwhile, though, I'm going to embrace the crazy. Let's compare social calendars and get out there and have some Fall Fun.

National Express Group PLC
27 June 2005
For announcement at 0700 hours on 27 June 2005
National Express Group PLC
Pre-close trading update
National Express Group today reports on trading for the six months to 30 June
2005, prior to entering its close period.
The Group is pleased to report that earnings remain in line with expectations
and that it continues to generate strong operating cashflow. The Group will be
meeting with analysts this week.
Our trains division is trading well. The recent focus on improving operational
performance has resulted in the Group currently running seven of the UK's top
nine best performing train operating companies.
Following receipt in early June of the Invitation to Tenders for Greater Western
and Thameslink/GN franchises, we are preparing our bids for submission in
September. We continue to work closely with the Strategic Rail Authority and now
the Department for Transport on franchise remapping, in particular concerning
the future of Central Trains, Midland Mainline and Silverlink.
The coach division has experienced sustained passenger growth following an
increase in the number of best value fares offered and further improvements to
the route network. We have continued with our strategy of investing in customer
facilities and developing our product offering, as more passengers are attracted
to the coach network.
Despite increases in fuel costs, our bus operations are trading in line with
expectations. In the West Midlands, passenger growth remains a challenge,
particularly amongst concessionary fare travellers. In London, we were pleased
to complete the acquisition of the Tellings Golden Miller bus operations which
has doubled our presence in this growing market.
In North America, we are nearing the end of another successful school bus bid
season and have experienced good organic growth at a number of our school
contracts. We have maintained our market leading margins in this area. The
recent trend of stabilisation in our public transit operations has continued.
We have completed the restatement of the Group's 2004 results under
International Financial Reporting Standards and have issued these today in a
separate announcement.
Our interim results will be announced on 28 July 2005.
• There will be an analyst conference call at 0930 hours on Monday 27
June 2005 - further details are available from Dido Laurimore at Financial
Dynamics on 020 7269 7144.

The most effective method to pick associate projects that really profit at all perhaps the single hardest test a web advertiser will confront.
Presently I'm just saying that I went to University and got a distinctions Bachelor's degree in Business Administration to make my point that for a fact; I can let you know that web promoting is difficult, regardless of what such a large number of self-serving people will persuade.
When some individual is letting you know that it's a quick and simple approach to profit with little or barely any exertion, I can guarantee you that they haven't invested any genuine energy at this amusement or they basically lucked out no doubt!
In poker, a wild stroke of fortunes is called hitting lightning in a container. It happens. In any case, not frequently and absolutely not to the vast majority of us. The same can be said for web member advertising.
Genuine offshoot web showcasing is about the careful procedure of scanning for little pockets of hungry purchasers called market corners, then fulfilling these business sectors with items that match the picked specialty lastly selecting different strategies to elevate these items to draw in that eager swarm of clients to purchase the items.
It's a sweet equation and truly works however there are such a variety of variables connected with this procedure thus numerous spots to get lost along the way.
What's more, that is whether you as far as anyone knows recognize what you are doing!
On the off chance that you are a web promoting amateur then the chances are entirely high you will once in a while, if at any point know where you are all the while. Truth be told that is the reason beginner's are so defenseless against get rich speedy items and plans. They're so overwhelmed by the procedure they pick easy routes.
In case you're not profiting amid your member showcasing endeavors you will be continually pondering:
1. Did I pick the right market corner?
2. Am I truly elevating to a keeping group from purchasers?
3. Did I pick the right item for my picked corner?
4. Does the item have associate backing from the proprietor vital for me to contend and succeed?
5. Am I utilizing the best strategies to advance the item?
6. Am I picking the best catchphrases for my limited time crusades?
7. Will I ever rank in Google with my catchphrase determination?
8. Do I truly have an idea about my opposition?
9. Do I even know who my finishing is?
10. Am I recovering the best connections?
Also, truly the dismal piece of this is you can be doing every one of the mechanics connected with associate promoting consummately. You can be posting and finishing all the required assignments expertly; however miss only one of these 10 focuses and the chances are high you're everything except damned.
What's more, people, this is truly simply the tip of the chunk of ice. There are endless different variables connected with web advertising that are not in any case considered for this article.
Presently, imagine a scenario in which there was a chance to everything except wiped out the 10 variables recorded in this article. There would be truly no more mystery for you. You would simply appreciate the bolster and focus on the mechanics and errands that you definitely know how to perform letter consummately.

Raul Mondesi Jr.Tampa Bay Rays
Outfielder | Ht: | Wt:
|Royals | Raul Mondesi suspended 50 games
Tue, 10 May 2016 13:26:46 -0700
Kansas City Royals SS Raul Mondesi Jr. tested positive for Clenbuterol, a performance-enhancing drug, and was suspended 50 games in the minors Tuesday, May 10. The suspension was reduced from 80 games when it was discovered the substance is in cold medicine.
Fantasy Tip: Mondesi is one of KC's bigger infield prospects and is the likely successor to Alcides Escobar at shortstop. The son of former outfielder Raul Mondesi saw one at-bat in the World Series last fall. Despite the suspension, he should remain on the radar of those in dynasty/keeper leagues mainly for his speed.

Poster campaigns are increasingly gargantuan these days - just ask Warner Bros. Harry Potter team - but still, some slip through the net: a few because they're just not good enough; some because they don't fit with the rest of the series; others, well, who knows? It's a collection of the amazing-but-not-suitable one-sheets that we've got here for you today, to judge, inspect, and decide whether they're better than the ones that made it. And yes, expect some Drew Struzan numbers - just because he really is that good.
![]%28/images/uploaded/moon-unuser-poster-2.jpg%29 ![]%28/images/uploaded/moon-unuser-poster-3.jpg%29 Though the final poster used in the campaign is very similar to one of these not-so-lucky ones, except for a classic monotone background rather than this golden tint, the others are definitely different. One's a foetal-position Sam within a chalky, exploding moon, then there's the misty eyeball-style affair, the other a twist on the same image, showing a thoughtful Sam staring into the middle distance from inside his space suit. The fact that there were such strong also-rans is testament to designers All City's work – recently scoring other one-sheet-shaped hits with The Millennium Trilogy and Waltz With Bashir.
If you look closely, you can see that the figures in the foreground aren't that clear – like drawings of Dom, Ariadne, Arthur and Eames rather than reduced photographs of them – and perhaps that's why it was put to the side. That, or the fact that the other Inception posters, the ones that did make the cut, are all excellent: Dom staring skywards, standing in water, as well as the title-in-the-buildings number and the M.C. Escher's ''Relativity''-inspired building walking one-shot.
The unused poster here is a striking concept piece that grabs the eye (and kind of tells you a bit about the film) but doesn't quite deliver the goods. Or so some film exec must have thought, giving it the thumbs down despite its obvious excellentyness (our word). In the end, they went for Hayden Christensen in a pseudo-Matrix 27 Dresses kind of affair, and a Stargate-style standing-on-a-Sphinx piece. Sure, the movie has its critics, but the posters ain't so bad, no?
No article on unpublished movie posters would be complete without a decent number of Drew Struzan concept pieces – so professionally polished they could easily have been the main posters if his others weren't, you know, even better. Here's a perfect example from the original Back To The Future, hitting all the key beats: a broken clock, Doc Brown, The DeLorean, Biff in his car, and Marty doing his Johnny Be Good thing. That said, compared to the real deal… well, could anything beat that?
Of course, this is an earlier draft of the perfected original, but it's interesting to see the notes that Drew must have taken after creating this black and white version. Indy is now looking down the barrel of his gun; a couple of horses are chasing him; Dr. Elsa Schneider no longer sports her hat, and, perhaps most importantly of all, Marcus Brody, Sallah and Professor Henry Jones himself are all blessed with some sort of neckwear. Prof. Jones without his bowtie? It would be nothing short of a disgrace. Kind of. Maybe.
You're probably expecting us to remain unbiased in our analysis of both posters – the decent Face/Off style photo-based piece, and the unbelievably brilliant Drew Struzan one-piece, a poster so amazingly good we'd happily buy a 6" action figure of it if we could – despite the actual movie being a bag of old wet pants. So… yep. In this case, being unbiased? Not so much. Sorry about that.
The cult classic dark kung-fu comedy caper had a very different form in this earlier draft. There's no cocksure pose from Kurt Russell, though the gun in one hand and cut-off wire dangling from the other remains, and not enough Kim Cattrall for some studio execs' liking. There's also a bit more James Hong (always a good thing) in the bottom left-hand corner, though no subtly semi-submerged swimming in the foreground. Still, Drew Struzan: it's like he's physically unable to make a bad poster.
A Drew Struzan-a-like, sure, but a damn good one. Notice all the gorgeous little bits of detail, from the star of David necklace, the smudged, brown stains around the edges, the blood on the right leg, the tiny jets of flames darting out of the explosions… There's a lot of love in this poster, and it really shows. That said, a bloody baseball bat holding a Nazi helmet and Brad Pitt standing on a pile of corpses… that's some tough competition.
![]%28/images/uploaded/buried-unused-poster-2.jpg%29 ![]%28/images/uploaded/buried-unused-poster-5.jpg%29 ![]%28/images/uploaded/buried-unused-poster-4.jpg%29 ![]%28/images/uploaded/buried-unused-poster-6.jpg%29 There are just so many different also-rans for this movie's poster campaign, it's almost impossible to pick one that stands out, so we're going to highlight the black and white one. You know, because it's black and white – which makes it arty and stuff. It also makes Ryan Renolds look like he's trapped in a block of ice, but it's the look on his face that makes it work so well – staring into the beyond, thinking, hoping… praying, probably. But with the sheer creative black space of the final poster – that's just brilliant.

Asda goes bananas lowering prices
Supermarket slashes the price of Britons' favourite fruit to lowest in 14
Asda has today slashed the price of bananas to just 47 pence per kilo as it
aggressively lowers prices to save customers money on their weekly shop.
The move sees the supermarket turn back the clock to 1995 … the year Forrest
Gump won best picture at the Oscars, John Major was PM and won his battle to
remain leader of the Conservative Party, OJ Simpson was arrested in a high
speed car chase and bananas were last on sale in Asda at 47p/kg.
Only a month ago the price of bananas at Asda was 84p/kg, making this the
fourth price cut in as many weeks – a dramatic 56 per cent reduction.
Today's move sees the supermarket drop the price by a further 10 pence per
Whilst this is bound to a-peel to shoppers as bananas are Britain's most
popular item of fruit and veg bought by millions of customers every week, it
won't have any impact on the price Asda pays its suppliers.
The supermarket typically sells nearly two million kilograms of bananas
across the UK every week.
Nick Scrase, Asda's fresh produce director, said: "Our job is to do all we
can to help cut the cost of living for families across the UK and there's no
better way of doing that than by lowering prices on core staples that go
into millions of shopping trolleys every week."
"We're footing the bill so can guarantee the move won't have any impact on
the price we pay our suppliers, and we'd encourage others that follow our
lead to make that same commitment."
With more low prices than any other supermarket, Asda is increasingly
winning over cost-conscious shoppers as they look to cut the cost of their
weekly shop as they save up for Christmas.

And The Best New Coach Is…
Now my run on The Voice was uneven at best, but I'd like to think I have some idea of what everyone on that stage is going through… so here are some of my thoughts on the best moments from Monday's premiere.
Usher is charming, but Shakira is my new BFF. She's witty and adorable in a smart-but-non-threatening way. She's someone I would love to take to coffee (we could talk what hair products she uses and how I can get my hips not to lie). While I miss the unpredictability of CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera (and their unique fashion choices), I am fully on board with the new coaches.
Cool as a Cucumber Award. The way Judith Hill commanded the stage was effortless (and her performance was well worth the amount of buzz that preceded it). Her voice is flexible and textured, and her range is ridiculous. I never really won my battle against nerves on The Voice, so I'm hugely impressed when someone comes out as calm, centered and in control as Judith.
Is it the best we'll see this season? Who knows. But, she's a natural star who is clearly on the verge of something BIG. If I was a betting man, I'd bet Adam Levine is clearing a place for his Season 4 trophy now.
Best Underage Performance. I'm usually unnerved by underage performers on reality singing competitions. It can read a little Toddlers & Tiaras for me, but Danielle Bradbery was fantastic. She has a great voice, is cute as a button and seems to be very sweet and well adjusted.
It was also a relief to see an age appropriate outfit onstage. So many young female performers are over-sexualized, but her look was fresh and youthful. Kudos to the wardrobe department for that, and congratulations to Blake Shelton for winning this gem.
Best & Worst Dancing. Blake Shelton – hands down. His victory dances were terrible and wonderful at the same time. Producers – give us more of this, please (and could someone please make me a meme of Blake's country moonwalk? Thanks!).
Most Confusing Moment. I found the bird call demonstrated by Janetza Miranda to be 50 percent adorable and 50 percent horrifying (and I found her family 100% entertaining! Please come back!).
Most Hilarious Flub. This goes to Usher for saying "Nashville is a state." I highly recommend he respond to any criticism of his geography skills by putting a leg up and replying with two words – "Justin Bieber."
Biggest "Dust in my eyes" Moment. The heartbreaking backstory of James Irwin's prematurely born daughters was too much for my emotionally fragile state. The first time I saw this I was at The Voice premiere. There I was sitting in a theater surrounded by a couple thousand people trying not sob off all my makeup. No chairs turned, but Shakira reminded James that "Life is full of second & third chances. You should try it again, because you deserve to come back."
Word, Shakira. I'm talking about third, fourth and fifth chances here, because if you love what you do you will do it again and again because you HAVE to do it.
Voice Lessons Learned This Week
• If you can make LMFAO fresh again and inspire me to create the hash tag #WiggleWiggleWiggle, you have WON at life (I'm looking at you, Christian Porter).
• Shakira is in the game, y'all! She has excellent poker face (as demonstrated when she turned to see Whitney's "Saving All My Love" was performed by a man with a sexy upper range). She has a serious contender in Kris Thomas.
• It pays to be ballsy. Ask Vedo who bravely covered a Justin Bieber song for one of the men who discovered Justin Bieber! Look how that worked out for him (hint: really well).
Leave some of your favorite (or least favorite) moments in the comments, and tune in tonight at 8PM EST as I live-tweet the next episode of The Voice (@katrinapmusic). You can also see me perform the single from my upcoming album tomorrow (Wednesday, March 27) on Hallmark's Home & Family show at 10AM.

DETROIT - Detroit police released details Monday about a sergeant who was arrested over the weekend in connection with a string of recent robberies.
A 20-year veteran of the department was arrested Sunday at the 12th Precinct.
He's accused of being involved in several robberies where the crooks posed a police officers and stole cash and cellphones from victims. At least one victim was injured when struck with a handgun, police say. Police only are investigating one incident while there is no apparent connection to the other reports of fake police officers robbing and beating people on the city's east side.
There also has been an arrest within the St. Clair Shores Police Department for a similar incident. The St. Clair Shores officer arrested is a 17-year veteran and a sergeant who, Detroit Police Chief James Craig says, used to work with the Detroit Police Department.
Watch: Uncut: Detroit police conference on officers' arrests
Craig said both sergeants were arrested on Saturday. The Detroit police sergeant has been suspended. The officers were not on duty at the time of the alleged crime, Craig said.
During the alleged robberies, both police officers had pulled up in their own personal vehicle. They were dressed in plain clothes but were wearing police badges. They reportedly confronted two people at gas pumps during one incident on July 21.
Someone came forward with photographs from that incident. Investigators working the case recognized one of the men believed to be a fake cop. Turns out he was a real cop -- a 20-year veteran.
"At that time, the information and photographs were turned over to internal affairs for additional investigation. A photographic lineup was conducted and the complainant identified the outside agency sergeant," said Craig.
The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said it had received two warrant requests for the officers, but had not yet made a charging decision.
"It could be a myriad of charges, two of course: robbery, assault," said Craig.
The sergeants attended the Detroit police academy together and both worked in Detroit until the one left for St. Clair Shores 17 years ago.

Rest in peace Sir Tom Finney, perhaps England's greatest footballer
The football community has been in mourning for the past couple of weeks following the death of Sir Tom Finney, one of the game's great ambassadors.
Finney was held in high regard all around the world but he chose to play his entire career at him hometown club, Preston North End.
This may have been a mistake. He certainly could have won more medals and earned a lot more money had he moved, but he simply never saw the need, happily remaining at Deepdale.
As a result, Finney was, and indeed remains, a genuine hero in the city, something that was clear for all to see as his funeral cortege weaved its way through the streets yesterday.
I'm proud to say that Finney and my paths crossed once, albeit very fleetingly. I worked as a steward at Deepdale during my time at university in Preston and was one day tasked with manning the entrance to the directors' suite in the stand that bears his name.
As the game ended, I held the door open for Finney and his late wife to make their exit. No words were spoken, but a nod of acknowledgement from the great man was good enough for me.
Great is a word used all too often to describe footballers, but Finney is certainly one player who deserves to be lauded in this way.
Indeed, it could be suggested that he is the best footballer England has ever produced.
It's a difficult call to make, as footage of Finney in action is fairly sparse. However, many people who saw him in action, including legends like Sir Stanley Matthews and Bill Shankly, made favourable comparisons between him and the top players of his age.
Finney made a grand total of 473 appearances for Preston, scoring 210 goals, while he represented England 76 times, finding the net on 30 occasions.
These figures are impressive, especially considering that Finney did not play as an out-and-out striker, but he could have achieved even more had circumstances been different.
When his career should have been getting under way, World War Two intervened, with Finney spending three years fighting in north Africa and Italy. He did not make his professional debut until he was 24, the war robbing the Preston Plumber of at least five seasons.
But is he the best English player ever? I'm afraid I'm going to have to remain on the fence because it's just too difficult to say.
What is certain is that he deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Matthews, Duncan Edwards, Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, Kevin Keegan, Paul Gascoigne and Wayne Rooney as one of this country's great players.
Rest in peace, Sir Tom.
English teams' results in Europe have been poor – but let's not panic
It has been a bad couple of weeks for English football teams in European competition, especially the Champions League, but I don't think there is any need to go overboard just yet.
The defeats suffered by Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United have had people speculating that the Premier League is falling behind the other top leagues in Europe.
I disagree.
While I think it's fair to argue that we do not currently have the best teams in Europe playing on these shores, I still believe we have the strongest league.
Barcelona, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich may be a cut above our best clubs at the moment – but they are the exception, rather than the rule, in their domestic leagues, which are, on the whole, much weaker than the Premier League.
The Spanish league is a two-horse race most years. Athletico Madrid are putting up a decent fight this time around but the rest of the league is nowhere near as strong as ours. Just look at the fourth Spanish team in the Champions League, Real Sociedad, who finished bottom of Manchester United's group and are out of Europe.
In Germany, Munich are currently 19 points clear at the top of the table. The Bundesliga may be the only league other than the Premier League to still have four teams remaining in the Champions League, but they are not all faring that well.
Of course, Bayern look set to knock Arsenal out, while Borussia Dortmund overcame their poor form in domestic competition and look likely to reach the last eight as well.
However, Bayer Leverkusen, who were beaten twice by United in the group stages, went down 4-0 at home to Paris St Germain last week. Schalke fared even worse, losing 6-1 at home to Real Madrid, while they were beaten home and away by Chelsea in the group stages.
Real, Barcelona, Bayern, Athletico Madrid, Dortmund and Paris St Germain all look set to reach the quarter-finals in the coming weeks, but I expect Chelsea to join them and have a feeling United might peg Olympiakos back at Old Trafford. If that is the case then Spain will have three quarter-finalists, with Germany and England boasting two each.
All of a sudden, it would not look so bad.

For a cool $4.5 million, you could take home the biggest boat on the floating lot at Newport Beach's 41st annual boat show.
Named Argo, the sleek, black-hulled 108-foot yacht features – among a number of luxurious amenities – a 57-bottle chilled wine rack. It also comes with three 1,050-horsepower diesel engines and a top speed of 50 miles per hour.
And for the slightly lower price of $2,290, you could take home the show's smallest vessel – the 11-foot, six-inch Cruiserboard. But with no wine rack and no engine, you'll have to paddle your craft home — sober.
In between those two extremes, show-goers will find more than 200 boats including powerboats, sailboats, sportfishing boats, cruisers and electric boats – all for sale and all available for the public to board.
The boat show has more "big boats," in the 40- to 60-foot range than any other show west of the Mississippi.
And it is part of what has enticed Fort Lauderdale-based yacht broker Rick Obey to open a brokerage office in Newport Beach, and bring Argo to the show with him.
"I think you need to be in this show if you want to be represented in this area," Obey said.
This is the second year the 2008-built Argo has been in the Newport Boat Show, and Obey is hopeful he can sell it this time around.
"If you look at the last five biggest boats bought in America, most of the owners are from California, or the West Coast," Obey said. "They live here, but they just don't typically keep their boat here."
Just down the dock from Argo sits the Cruiserboard — a sort of hybrid craft that falls somewhere between a paddleboard and a kayak. It has what looks like a foldable lawn chair attached to the deck.
Built in Oceanside, the board is making its debut at the show.
"Fishermen love it because it's more comfortable than a kayak," said Jim Lipman, co-founder of Cruiserboard. "We're really looking to market it toward an older demographic, because it allows the 50-and up crowd easier in-and-out access compared to a kayak, and more stability compared to a paddleboard."

Anti-War Movement Takes Action Against Militarization of Port of Olympia
OLYMPIA, Washington- A group calling themselves the Port Militarization Resistance worked to bring attention to the militarization of the Port of Olympia using civil disobedience and direct action from Monday the 22nd until Wednesday the 1st of June. The 3rd Stryker Brigade used the Port of Olympia to load Stryker vehicles and other military supplies on to the USNS Pomeroy bound for Iraq. The Stryker Brigade is bound for Mosul in Iraq, where the United States has taken a former Iraqi air base and has established it as its own. The base is strategically close to oil fields outside of city.
PMR is continuing to organize as it has been rumored that more ships may be headed to Olympia this summer.
The protesters made a call to action in Olympia on the first day that Stryker vehicles were spotted coming in to the Port of Olympia. Thirty-seven arrests occurred during the protests. The most significant action taken at the protest happened on May 30th when protesters took direct action against the port and took off the fence at the entrance then entered the port property.
On that day, protesters outside of the port were at a stand off with the police. The police violence had become too much for those protesting the militarization of the Port of Olympia and U.S. imperialism. Rounds of pepper bullets, tazers, billy clubs, steal toe boots, and unwarned multiple fogs of pepper spray were just some of the tactics used in the attempt at squashing the demonstrators who had been at work since Monday, the 22nd
Leading up to Tuesday the 30th, 16 people were arrested. On Monday, May 22nd, one arrest was made when a protester stepped in front of a Stryker convoy. On May 23rd, Drew Hendricks was arrested early in the morning for attempting to lock the port gates and five more were arrested later in the day, again for blocking another Stryker convoy. Hendricks was charged with second degree trespassing while others were charge with pedestrian interference. A vigil was held later in the day at Plum and State. During this time folks protesting watched a number of Stryker vehicles roll in to the port.
At the vigil, T. J. Johnson, a city council member, talked about his aggravation with many who oppose the war. "I am very frustrated by the fact that so many people say they oppose this war, and so many of us are unwilling to leave the comfort of our lives to do something that might actually make a difference," Johnson said. Later he added, "Figure out what you can do, but do something."
Nikki Miller, one of the arrestees, described her experience: "During our arrests, Holly and I were manhandled by officer Watkins of the Olympia Police Department, resulting in injury. When I was being arrested, I sat down on the ground. Holly put her body over mine and held onto me. Instead of simply removing her hands, two police officers proceeded to use cruel and unusual tactics to remove her. A Thurston county sheriff put his boot on Holly's back. Officer Watkins proceeded to pinch the underside of her arm. She has a massive bruise, which is getting worse... I was drug to the car and thrown up against it by Officer Watkins to be searched. Once the back of me had been searched by a female police officer, she told him to roll me over. He slammed the other side of me onto the police car. He proceeded to do this one more time when the search was complete. I have a dull pain starting in my shoulder and continuing down into my elbow."
On Wednesday the 23rd, nine were arrested after holding up a convoy for over half an hour. Hearing that another convoy was coming on an alternative route, protesters also formed a second blockade in front of the port entrance on that same day. Police attacked the second blockade but no arrests were made.
The Port Militarization Resistance group released a packet for the press later that day where it was stated "the weapons shipments and the use of our public property to prolong and supply the war in Iraq have made us complicit in crimes against humanity. We refuse to be complicit any longer. We will continue to utilize every available instrument of democracy, including direct action and disruption when necessary. We are working to stop the war machine by standing in front of the machines of war as they attempt to enter our port." The full release can be seen at http://www.omjp.org.
The following days protests outside the port continued and vigils were held daily at State and Plum in front of the Shell gas station.
The ship arrived in the port the evening of Monday, May 29th. That evening, protestors shook gate at the entrance in the port plaza. The police were quick to react to the crowd with pepper spray, injuring numerous people, many of whom were not even by the fence.
The following day protesters returned to the port. A contingent from the group tore down the main entrance gate and began to enter. Immediately, police formed a blockade and protesters lay down inside the port with a large group behind them outside of the entrance. During a lull in the arrests, one last Stryker convoy calling themselves the Strykers for Peace arrived at the scene with orders to take back the other vehicles to Fort Lewis. The police ignored these orders and later confiscated the convoys cardboard vehicles. Nineteen were arrested during the action. Through out the rest of the day many protesters were pepper sprayed. One protester, while rattling the second gate at the main entrance of the port, was pepper sprayed three times and then tazored by police in an extremely violent show of force. Police also fired rounds of rubber bullets and pepper spray pellets as they pushed protesters away from the fence. One person fired on had their back to the police and was walking away as they moved forward. Two arrests occurred while the police pushed back protesters.
Steve Niva, a professor at The Evergreen State College gave a teach-in on where the Strykers are headed. During the teach-in he talked about the 4,000 soldiers from Fort Lewis that will be sent to meet up with their equipment in Mosul, Iraq. This will be the second deployment for the group. Outside of Mosul there is an air force base that use to belong to the government of Iraq. Now the United States is working to make it a permanent military instillation. It is strategically close to oil fields outside of Mosul.
Later in the evening the group moved to the port park down by the water and closer to the ship. Folks gathered scraps of cardboard and spare wood and assembled an art instillation in the plaza. Chalk was used on the ground to liven up the port property. A line of crosses was put up to remember all those that have been murdered in this occupation. In the morning port workers tore down the art and threw it away.
The tactics used by protesters received widespread corporate media coverage. If the actions that occurred had stuck to vigiling and holding signs, little attention, if any, would have been given to the protesters. With barely 40 people at times, the effect of the few rebel rousers has spread to remarkable distances. If 1000 people got together and sang "Kumbaya" it would not have caught the attention of as many people, or caused such a word of mouth uproar that has more people coming down to the port every day.
"I was shocked by the amount of media attention we received," said one protester. "When we began protesting we were doing it because it was what we thought was the right thing to do. Now it has received international coverage and we are in the media all over the states."
The Olympian stated that the Thurston County Sheriff's Dept. claimed "they warned activists several times through a megaphone." "They can't say they were never warned," said Officer Watkins.
Muffin, a local activist who was on the scene says, "there were no warnings when the police used pepper spray on Monday night, and warnings were not given until hours after the initial use of spray on Tuesday." disputing the police departments claims.
On the 31st the ship carrying military cargo and the Strykers left for Mosul in Iraq where the brigade is to be deployed. A die in was staged as the ship left the port.
The events surrounding the port of Olympia in the past week or so have been some of the country's most active current struggles against the war of terror. The anti-war movement has lost much momentum and hope. This shows a spark for the movement as a whole to end the so-called "War on Terror."

I was just 19 on Nov. 22, 1963, a failing student at Orlando Junior College, drifting away from any kind of education, disinterested in the possibilities that awaited me: teacher, nurse, secretary, housewife, mother. Like nearly everyone alive on that day, I remember where I was, walking from class to Scotland Yard, the oddly named campus center.
A boy I'd known from high school came out of the Yard crying. "They shot Kennedy," he said, the agony he felt apparent in his face.
"Good," I said.
I'm 64 now and this is the first time I've admitted to that repulsive, hideous, ignorant response. It wasn't as if I was political in any way. I was parroting my parents' fear of his presidency. Kennedy filled blacks with hope and some whites, but mostly Southern whites, with fear. As if granting justice, freedom and liberty to one race robbed the other. Thankfully, it makes no sense to me now.
I don't even know what my parents feared. My mother was from Iowa, Daddy from Nebraska. They'd probably never seen a black person until they moved to Detroit and adopted me. Even in Florida, where we were living, the only blacks in our lives were Jeff, our yardman, and Lucinda, our maid, who, by that time, had been with us for 12 years.
Lucinda was the ultimate in kindness — a friend, a confidant, a mediator between my menopausal mother and me, a hot-headed teenager. She emptied and washed the ashtray I hid under my bed and never told. She cried the day I graduated from high school, and hugged me with pride. She taught me to iron, in case I ever had to.
Like all kids, I never gave her existence much thought. I was home for a visit four years later when Martin Luther King was assassinated. I asked Mom how they could feel one way about all blacks and different about Lucinda. And she did. My mother loved Lucinda.
It was Lucinda who took care of my grandmother as Alzheimer's destroyed her mind. Daddy loved her, too. Later in life, it was he who kept me posted on Lucinda's failing health and called me crying when she died. But in 1968, when I asked my mother that question, she quoted an editorial she'd read about the difference between Southerners and Yankees, whom she blamed for stirring up the coloreds: "We love the individual and hate the race and Yankees love the race and hate the individual."
I nodded as if that made some kind of sense.
Lucinda's dashed hopes on the day Kennedy was killed never entered my mind, but just a few months later, my parents' ideologies and I parted ways.
My boyfriend used to drive me to school every day, but he'd gone to Virginia to see his family. That one and only time I would ever ride a city bus was fated to change me for the rest of my life.
Lucinda worked for us three days a week for $12 a day. She worked for another family the other two days. When I got on the bus, she was seated in the back in her pale gray uniform dress with starched white cuffs and collar. I paid the fare, smiled, waved and headed back to sit with her.
I remember her eyes. There was no joy to see me marching toward her. Instead she leaned, picked her huge purse off the floor and put it on the seat next to her. "You can't sit here, Ginny," she said when I was beside her.
She was looking past me, and though I was hurt and confused, I turned to see what could make her not want me to sit with her, make her drop a wall between us. The driver, though the light was green, held us all in place, the door still open, watching us — me — her — in his rearview mirror. Just a pair of cold eyes, staring. The other passengers were looking, too. In that instant all the hubbub about civil rights, Martin Luther King, the riots, the fire hoses, the "white only" bathrooms, lunch counters and drinking fountains, dawned on me and I did the most mature thing I'd ever done to date. I didn't "show the world" anything. I didn't risk Lucinda's safety by sitting beside her or across the aisle. I sat in front of her. I became the last white and she the first black in our respective sections. That satisfied the driver. When we were rolling, I turned sideways so we could talk. It would have been a good time to ask for forgiveness, but I hadn't gotten that far yet.
Forty-five years later, I have a chance to do what Lucinda only dreamed of and had never been permitted to do. I can vote, and this one, my dear, kind friend, I cast for you.
