The film Oslo, August 31st opens with a series of grainy, color-saturated images shot over a period of many years in the titular Norwegian city, while a chorus of off-camera voices share their memories of the place -- mostly good, some melancholy. Nearly everyone speaks of Oslo in the past tense, as if it's a place that was once important to them but is no longer a part of their lives today. The role of this sequence is never made obvious, but it certainly suits the tenor of the film. Oslo, August 31st concerns one day in the life of a man who is struggling to reconcile his past, present, and future while standing at an emotional crossroads during a visit to his hometown, a moment that forces him to take a long look at his own troubles, as well as those of his loved ones; the film delivers an intelligent, sobering look at the heart of a man who has reached the end of his rope.
In the movie, Anders Danielsen Lie plays Anders, who, only moments after we first meet him, is unsuccessfully attempting to drown himself by carrying a large rock into a lake. Now 34 years old, Anders once showed promise as a writer before his life was derailed by heroin abuse. Eventually, his addiction bottomed out and Anders ended up in rehab. After ten months in treatment, he is clean and sober, but he's not at peace. His parents' efforts to pay off his debts and finance his therapy have forced them to sell the house where he grew up, and Anders is riddled with depression and self-loathing. He is soon to be released from rehab, and as part of the program, he's sent to Oslo for a job interview as an assistant editor at a literary magazine. Anders is wary about his prospects and not eager to return to the place where he failed himself and so many others. With time to kill before his appointment, he drops in on Thomas (Hans Olav Brenner), an old friend who used to do drugs with him, but is now raising a family and pursuing a career in academia. During their chat, Anders announces that he's considering suicide and that he sees himself as a spoiled brat with no prospects and no future. Thomas is shocked and tries to persuade Anders that he's being foolish, but as he discusses his dissatisfaction with his own life, he's not able to offer much encouragement. Anders' job interview falls apart when he's forced to reveal his past mistakes, and when he's supposed to have lunch with his sister Nina, he learns she doesn't want to see him as she sends her partner in her place. As Anders repeatedly tries to contact his former girlfriend Iselin, who now lives in New York City, he ends up at a party for another former lover, Mirjam (Kjaersti Odden Skjeldal), who -- like nearly everyone else -- seems full of regrets about a life that hasn't fulfilled her expectations. Eventually, the only solace Anders can find is stepping out with some strangers he meets at the party for an evening of booze and carousing.
Oslo, August 31st was loosely adapted by director and co-screenwriter Joachim Trier from the novel Le Feu Follet by Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, which was also the basis of Louis Malle's 1963 film The Fire Within. However, Trier hasn't chosen to remake Malle's picture, but has put his own distinct spin on the themes it shares with the novel. This isn't a story of one man's angst, though Anders' turmoil is obviously the film's focal point; instead, Oslo, August 31st uses Anders as a microcosm for the daily agonies and small failings of all of our lives, as the nameless voices ponder their past in the movie's prologue and the patrons of an open-air café talk of love, disappointment, death, and unfulfilled dreams while Anders quietly listens in.
Anders Danielsen Lie delivers a superb, naturalistic performance as Anders, never making a grand show of his torment, but at the same time, never letting us forget his emotional burden, even as he carries it with a certain fatalistic humor and sublimated rage. While the film is full of fine performances, the story ultimately rests on Lie's shoulders, and he handles the responsibility with ease. Trier uses Lie's talents wisely, making him the centerpiece of this story while constructing its episodes in a way that Anders can step away from the main action without the film losing its way. Aided by co-screenwriter Eskil Vogt, Trier keeps this movie lively and realistic, even as it takes mild liberties with conventional narrative form, and cinematographer Jakob Ihre finds a simple beauty in Oslo's streets, parks, and restaurants without straying from the sharply defined lines of the film's clean visual style. Oslo, August 31st is every bit as serious as its themes demand, but Trier keeps it from feeling dour for its own sake; despite its sadness, there's a very real beauty in its efforts to balance the joys and failings of one life, and as a result, this is a film that's powerful, affecting, and well-worth seeing.

Drake chuckles at the suggestion that outsiders may envision the center as a humming, Hollywood-style situation room, dimly lit by massive flat-screen televisions and computer monitors. "It's actually much more boring that what you see on 24. It's mostly cubicles," he says.
The analysts, however, could not do their jobs without some high-tech software tools.
WAJAC's analysts process most of their data using three data analysis and visualization software programs, Drake says: COPLINK, along with intelligence analysis applications from Pen-Link, Ltd., and i2 Inc. RISS also comes into the mix.
COPLINK is designed to link data across different government databases. But Drake says the center's analysts have found RISS to be more useful. RISS provides a national connectivity "backbone" offered by no other system, says Drake. This allows even the smallest law enforcement agencies from every region in the state to participate in the fusion system.
The key to success for regional analysts is a strong relationship with local officials, RIG-7 Intelligence Analyst Shawn M. Mahood says. And one way to build that relationship is to ensure that communications go both ways. To avoid a common source of frustration among his local counterparts, Mahood makes sure to distribute intelligence down to locals, rather than just sending theirs "up" to Seattle.
Mahood drafts daily intelligence bulletins to RIG-7 law enforcement officials, combining national and international open-source material, items drawn from bulletins issued by the country's 42 other state and regional fusion centers, and law enforcement sensitive material from within Washington State.
Private-Sector Partners
Nationally, the private sector has shown a reluctance to share information with fusion centers (see "Fusion Centers Should Work with ISACs," Homeland Security, November 2007). But WAJAC is getting cooperation from one large player that may help to establish a national framework.
As WAJAC coalesced in the years after 9-11 alongside JTTF, former Seattle FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Scott Crabtree was "adamant" about getting Washington State's major private sector entities involved, says Richard E. Hovel, Boeing's senior aviation and homeland security advisor.
Boeing, the country's largest aircraft manufacturer and second-largest defense contractor, was one of those entities. Boeing builds jetliners at plants in Renton and Everett, the latter home to the world's largest building at 472 million cubic feet.
The idea met with trepidation within Boeing, Hovel says. But passage of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 convinced management of the need for an Information Sharing Environment linking the government, including states and fusion centers, to the private sector. It wanted to help make that happen.
Boeing's goal is to place a full-time company intelligence analyst at WAJAC. But that's easier said than done. Company officials, the Seattle FBI office, and officials representing WAJAC, including the Washington State Attorney General, have worked at length to cross the legal hurdles needed to do so.
The myriad parties to the arrangement have developed a memorandum of understanding, while Boeing itself has applied for coverage under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies (SAFETY) Act of 2002, which offers liability protection to companies providing products or services in support of domestic counterterrorism.
The difficulty of engaging the private sector is evident. Boeing had a leg up because of its specific sector. All of its corporate security officials already have the required security clearances, explains Hovel, "so we didn't have to climb that hill."
Even so, the company and state officials have yet to get all the permissions ironed out to get a Boeing person into the WAJAC facility.
Should those efforts succeed, Boeing and its government counterparts hope to create common templates that other companies and fusion centers can use to create memoranda of understanding and SAFETY Act applications. The templates, Hovel says, could be posted on llis.gov, the DHS Web portal for lessons learned and general preparedness information sharing.
Regional giants Starbucks Corporation, Amazon.com, Inc., and Alaska Airlines have also expressed interest in working with WAJAC, Gomez says. But officials are currently focused on Boeing, and success there could pave the way for other firms, says Drake.
Not every company will want to have the same physical presence that Boeing seeks, but they may want to attend briefings either regularly or as situations arise. To accommodate those needs, the FBI field office has set up space adjoining WAJAC.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)

Now, does this mean 12 million subscriptions, or 12 million individual people with potentially more than one subscription?
It says 12 million current subscribers, meaning that 1 person with 5 accounts still counts as 5 subscribers to the count.
What that means is that there is currently 12 million accounts with an active game-time, using credit card, or game time cards.
Looks like WotLK in China is a good thing
I think they mean individuals. To head off any comments about their definition of subscriber, here it is, directly from the press announcement:
World of Warcraft subscribers include individuals who have paid a subscription fee or have an active prepaid card to play World of Warcraft, as well as those who have purchased the game and are within their free month of access. Internet Game Room players who have accessed the game over the last thirty days are also counted as subscribers. The above definition excludes all players under free promotional subscriptions, expired or cancelled subscriptions, and expired prepaid cards. Subscribers in licensees' territories are defined along the same rules.
@mingdi9 - That's true, but it doesn't say anything about one valid subscriber with multiple accounts. So, people who dual box or even 5-box, and pay for 5 separate subscriptions would count as five accounts.
There's not that many people out there that can afford/want to do that though, so a large proportion of the 12 million should still be individuals.
It's probably by Battle.net account (at least over here). So if you keep all your WoW accounts on separate Battle.net accounts - which is doable - you'd be 5 'people'.
Anyways, glad to see this number out, can bring a bit of a hush to all the "Oh the 11 million number is old people are quitting left and right and the game is dying" whining. Not sure why anyone would take the time to whine about that, but sadly they do.
It doesn't say they are counting the number of separate subscriptions. The description says "individuals who have paid a subscription fee," which, logically, should also include individuals who pay five subscription fees. Admittedly I have never tried to do this, so I wouldn't know if it's standard practice to pretend you're five different people in Blizzard's internal systems, each paying one subscription fee, when you're multiboxing.

Try this 3880 H 27500 3/4 instead of auto.
Hi all,
I am a bit of a noob to searching for channels so please be gentle lol. Anyways a few days ago RAI on Asiasat 5 changed their frequency. I found the new details for it today on this forum, but when trying to search for it, get no luck finding the channels. Hopefully someone can tell me what I am doing wrong...
The set top box is a Dreamsat X600, and what I am doing is going into menu, service search, 'Asiasat2C' @ 100.5E (i assume the name doesn't matter here), transponders, edit, and adding a new entry with Freq. 3800, polarization H, SR 27500, FEC Auto as explained here...
When I save this however, and do a 'scan'...it comes back a few seconds later with 'No new channels found' or somesuch message like that. ATM all I can pick up are a bunch of arabic and a few chinese language channels...I have tried 'Initialise STB' a few times which wipes the channel data but it hasn't helped...
Can someone please tell me if I am missing some really important step here? I didn't install it and otherwise know nothing about the setup so if I can't work it out here I suppose I will just call someone to come out and have a look at it.
Thanks in advance,
Try this 3880 H 27500 3/4 instead of auto.
Thanks Steve...unfortunately I still can't pick up the new channels I'm finding I can't pick a lot of the channels that should be there...I'm picking up channels on 3820V, 3660V, 4148 V but can't find much of anything else....doing a blind scan doesn't find it either.
Does this suggest maybe something's wrong with the box?
Also having issues trying to fix reception.
When I try and rescan on the receiver I do a channel search by Satellite. But the list of Satellites that the box gives doesn't include Asiasat 5. It lists Asiasat 2, 3 and 4 but not 5.
Do I need to get it to refresh the satellite list? How do you this?
Asiasat2 is Asiasat5 now. AS2 was replaced with AS5 last August because the former's orbit is decaying. Since AS5 occupies the same location as AS2 you don't need to move the dish at all. Just use the existing AS2 menu to do a rescan or if you really feel like you need to just create a new entry and call it Asiasat 5. Its that simple!
I just did a scan on the above frequency of 3880(H) SR 27500 about an hour ago for some friends and now they have both Yes Italia and Rai Int.
Santino (28-01-10)
Frequency 3880 MHz (3.880GHz)
FEC 3/4 (if required)
Symbol Rate (SR) 27500
Polarity Horizontal (H)
On some boxes you may have activate a drop-down list box in order to change the entry. I know I had to do this in order to change a V to a H. I don't know why the right arrow on the remote didn't do it, but it didn't.
If that works for you do the same for some of the missing channels using the figures on or you could try another blindscan, assuming your box has that feature.
If it doesn't work, then your dish may have moved (storm?) or was improperly installed to begin with. This is a last restort and I doubt it is the problem, but keep it in mind after you have exhausted all other possibilities.

Acting Central Intelligence Agency Director Michael Morell has waded into the controversy surrounding Kathryn Bigelow's movie "Zero Dark Thirty," sayng the film is "not a realistic portrayal of the facts."
The movie, which is tipped as a potential Oscar contender, is based on the real life hunt for Osama bin Laden and has sparked controversy by suggesting information that led to his capture was obtained using torture.
Find: Gun group blames Hollywood for Connecticut shooting tragedy?
In a rare public statement, Morell addressed the issues himself by writing an open letter to his CIA colleagues confirming the organization's involvement with the film but he maintains the filmmakers have used significant artistic license.
In a post on the CIA's public website, he writes, "I would not normally comment on a Hollywood film, but I think it important to put Zero Dark Thirty, which deals with one of the most significant achievements in our history, into some context... the film takes significant artistic licence, while portraying itself as being historically accurate...
"The film creates the strong impression that the enhanced interrogation techniques that were part of our former detention and interrogation program were the key to finding Bin Laden. That impression is false.... What I want you to know is that Zero Dark Thirty is a dramatization, not a realistic portrayal of the facts."
Morell's letter was released on Friday, two days after a group of U.S. senators sent a message to the film's distributors, Sony Pictures, demanding studio bosses attach a disclaimer to the film denying the CIA took any inappropriate action to obtain information.
Oscar-winning director Bigelow has defended her movie, previously telling TheWrap.com, "The point was to immerse the audience in this landscape, not to pretend to debate policy. Was it difficult to shoot? Yes. Do I wish (torture) was not part of that history? Yes, but it was."
O.k. First for the racist jingoistic morons who think the CIA is running around torturing muslims, black people, and who ever else you don't like, NO. Torture is a tactic as old as military intelligence itself, it is used against whom ever the intelligence community thinks has information: things like race, religion, and even national citizenship are irrelevant. Second, it's unlikely torture was actually used in this case because it simply doesn't work with this kind of vague information. Torture is only succesful at extracting information from a person that one is absolutely certain posses that information, otherwise any intel gained is highly suspect, people will say anything they think you want to hear just to stop the torture.

Oksana Grigorieva just made a beeline for family court after her settlement with Mel Gibson hit a snag ... TMZ has learned.
As TMZ first reported, Oksana and Mel struck a deal in which Oksana would walk away with $750,000, the house she's living in, and some other stuff. In return, she'll leave Mel alone. They also agreed to 50/50 custody of Lucia.
The settlement agreement is scheduled to go before the family court judge tomorrow for final approval, but we're told the lawyers are still fighting over how it's worded and they've reached a stalemate.
Our sources say Mel's lawyers asked the judge for more time so they can hash it out, but Oksana showed up to court this morning to fight the request ... because she wants the deal done STAT.
Judge Scott Gordon gave Mel and Oksana an extension to sort out their differences -- but only until November 1st ... less time than Mel's people were hoping for.
Hi Bunny, Sure was good to see Curious back. I'm sorry to have missed her. How ya doin' today? Been lurking on the LiLo threads mostly today.
Keep it up, Idiot, you just might win the bigger azzhole award. Looking good so far! lol
Hi realist.
Well, no news is good news for Mel so that's good.
It was really good to see Curious surface. I was getting down right worried about her! :P She has been a main stay here. When she is gone she is missed.
canook: about an hour ago
..." As women you would think you would have more dignity than that.'...
brain washing tactics?
you do remind of political agitators from communist Czechoslovakia
being wrong and showing no remorse or shame
for your misleading words
As older woman, as a mother and as a grandmother
I am very proud to support Mel Gibson
in this injustice against him and
what is being to done to him at this time
by soviet prostitute and
corrupt lawyers like Horowitz and Garbus
Canook, I agree. They are trying very HARD to use brain wash type tactics to get ppl to NOT post. They have thrown every guilt trip they could think of at the fan hoping it'd stick.
I vote we just ignore their nasty insulting posts. They can do the same to ours. Do as Curious dubbed it 'the Scroll Dance'. :)
2idiots: 9 minutes ago
@ Sincy,
My guess is you're Catholic and a rather good one. I recall these EXACT versus over the last few weeks/months at the Catholic I attend in the LA area. Kudos to you for your references. I doubt the flock will comprehend them as I doubt the "Church Of Hypocrisy" aks The Church of Mel follows these same CATHOLIC beliefs.
You're right!!! I am a Roman Catholic who prefers to be thought of as just a Christian who's doing her best to be "authentic". Any "sincere" Christian clergy member regardless of his/her denomination will tell you GOD is full of forgiveness but we're "ALL" still "ACCOUNTABLE" for our behavior in this world. Too often churches become to much like social "cliques" rather than beacons that contribute to the development of more stable societies. The Golden Rule isn't practiced enough and hierarchies that serve "administrative" necessities become much more important than people. Frankly, I have no idea what goes on within Mel Gibson's "bootleg" Church but organizations that focus on "personalities" rather than sound "spiritual" doctrines are doomed to collapse because we're "ALL" flawed. As a very wise elder told me many years ago, personalities come and go but the "CHURCH" remains.
Quick someboby, pass the BETA BLOCKERS!!! WTF is Sin saying? He/she/it seems to slam everyone and has lost all reasoning powers! Gone mad!
DUCK! Incoming wild talk from Sin!
He/she/it's off the reservation!
He/she/it's shooting down everyone!
Tell, I think you're right on! Not a catholic! New game? Cathlic/not a catholic? :) (knew she'd lie when she saw your vote! LOL!)
You guys are a riot.
As I said before, this simple little story is full of holes and the Gibson attackers love to fill them in with all sorts of dirty little tidbits from their own dirty little minds. They fret over who should call who or what in Oksas case! They worry about so many things that don't concern them.
They keep complaining about Gibson leaving his kid with a nanny! Ha! What about when Oksa went on her fake charity trip to Russia and left Lucia for weeks. Boy did she party then. And in between times she publicly threatened Gibson.
And what about this?
Oksa has neglected Lucia shamefully in the past and used her own child for personal financial gain and continues to allow people to take pictures of Lucia in public.
And now I suppose we'll get another thyroid storm from Sin! And the rest of the gang has ADD. They keep repeating the same AZ fiction, over and over again. We've laughed at your funny accusations, but now you're becoming boring. Better spice it up a bit guys! LOL
Bunnybutt it's truly frightening to learn that you are not only a mother - but a grandmother - and I mean that in all sincerity. I've assumed the whole time you were a recent high school drop out trying to find a place to fit into society and landed here. The various names you've chosen for yourself I've attributed to a woeful lack of maturity and sophistication and your writing style is so basic and lacking in depth that one can only assume that you're too afraid your lack of intelligence will shine through if you write more than a stale schoolyard jab. I imagine this board provides you with the practice you need to avoid being considered an outcast like you were in school (when the stunted maturity took hold) so you try to cultivate a clique to insulate and defend you because of your inability to rationalize your own behavior.
Unfortunately your not very discriminating in your choice of allies and end up encouraging nutjobs the likes of Ira and another who has chosen an equally ridiculous name for herself - 'little aussie reader.' If you think these people make you appear any more credible or are your friends, you're as batsh*t crazy as I suspect you are.
Friends are people you interact with in the 'outside world.' They actually have an interest in your life and are willing to take on the burden of listening to your tales of woe. Nobody here is really interested in your personal life and to throw a bone out for support, sympathy and attention is seen as just that.
When you have something logical to add to the conversation at hand that doesn't involve a personal attack, I might consider reading or even responding to it, but from what I can see so far you're a nobody who stands for nothing and is in no position to judge others who's opinions hold far more weight and substance than your own. Your failed attempts to 'ignore' more intelligent posts have failed miserably in the past, so why would it be any different now?
Who's passing out the crazy juice in here?
As for facts, Cujo, your "facts" are in your cesspool imagination. You speak of Mel's father being on his death bed and lie about Mel leaving him there to allegedly "party" yet he is still alive unless the news agencies missed the news that he died. Unlikely!
You claim he's clubbing with his "S&M slam pig" without a shred of evidence. How NICE and Christian of you. Rash judging much? So what if he was. I guess that's illegal in Ox's book of Law that doesn't apply to her and her activities. Tell mentioned he could have been with Hannah or numerous other relatives there. I'd say that was very likely given the size of the extended family. Oh, and in case you never get away from your green computer light into the daylight of the world, you may want to know that those stripper poles are just about everywhere, for "special" occasions. It was not being used when the photo was taken. Have you looked up how close the place is to the hospital? Just a clue there. Mel had a mic to his face? You can't even tell that for certain but so what if he was singing karaoke. Is that illegal in the BabyShaker book of Hypocrisy? Do you really think the judge will care? I don't. Only Ox does.
He didn't tell Ox he was going to AZ? How do you know that? Even if he didn't, why should he? Ox doesn't have custody of Mel, as we've said, just Lucia and not when Mel has her. He can leave the state but he cannot take Lucia, so you are actually trashing him for following the custody law and making up new laws on top of it. Fuddy's post showing us Federal law proves that he can leave Lucia with whomever he needs (wants!) to as long as it isn't a felon like Herzog. Ox has left Lucia for weeks at a time, as was mentioned and she has been photographed dropping her off at daycare multiple times.
Are you saying that no parents who have custody, divorced or married, should ever leave the children to the point of not even going to work or visiting a sick relative? What planet are you from?? That's really twisted.
You are also lying about the car crash. There are no photos! There was no damage. The pictures you refer to are over a year old, another car and another location and you know it. That was the Maserati crash! Liar liar pink panties on fire.
As for signing, the wording was in question according to TMZ, which means Ox is up to something, judging by experience. I have no idea what but I'm sure time will make it all clear as hell.
I've come to the conclusion that there is a love hate fest going on here. They love us or they would not seek us out day in and day out. They love the bantering back and forth. They would hate to miss anything we talk about for they feel that they have become a part of the group in a round about way even if it is negative. Come on guys admit it. You really love us don'tcha. LOL

According to The Dirty, Mr. Mel was supposedly drinking at the Geisha on Monday morning at 1:14 am and was therefore drunk when he had his fender bender later in the day. Problem with that. Geisha was closed by then.

The picture shows Mr. Mel, another man and two women. The one woman is not Miss Stella and the other lady's face is not visible - no proof of her being Miss Stella. What I do find interesting is that there is a man and two women. Per TMZ, Mr. Mel went to dinner at Bravo Bistro Monday night in the company of a man (Bistro's owner) and two women. Bravo & Geisha are both in Scottsdale. I have the distinct feeling that after dinner Monday, Mr. Mel and company went to Geisha. In fact, the ROL story states he chose to go to AZ on MONDAY and therefore could not have been at Geisha's Sunday night as The Dirty implies. Which means Mr. Mel was hurrying to the hospital and had his fender bender during the day, on his way to see his gravely ill dad. There was no citation because there was no DUI.
(As a side note, those photos on TMZ are clearly labeled to be of the 2008 Masserati in the accident last summer.)
Further poking brings up this article -
HollywoodNews.com: Sources in Los Angeles tell me that Mel Gibson's horrible 93 year old father, Hutton Gibson is dying. ( dated 10-18-11)
Hardly a nice sentiment, but it puts the matter into perspective. While having custody of Lucia, Mr. Mel gets notice his father is gravely ill in AZ. By CA custody law, he can not bring Lucia with him. He leaves her in the nanny's care. He has the legal right to do so. Miss Oksana may be upset and call him an "absentee" father, but any family court will recognize a family emergency and as long as Lucia was properly cared for, not count it against him. I can also fully imagine that Mr. Mel really didn't want to deal with Miss Oksana given his concern about his father.
Now for Miss Oksana. According to ROL's story dated 10-14, Miss Oksana first read about the accident online, which would be TMZ's storyposted 10-11 at 11:05 am (PT). She may have first thought Lucia was with him, but later discovered that was not true. While the story states Mr. Mel was in the "midst" of a 4 day custody visit, it's vague on details. It does, however, clearly state:
-- A source close to Grigorieva told (RadarOnline): "On Monday, Mel was in the midst of a four day custody visit and he chose to go to Arizona. We're told Lucia was left at Mel's Malibu mansion in the care of a nanny, at the time he crashed his car."--
ROL goes on to say that a custody ratification hearing was scheduled on Tuesday, 10-18, and Miss Oksana's lawyers planned to ask why Mr. Mel should have custody only to leave town. But that, however, is not what happened. Instead, Miss Oksana went to court on 10-17 to fight the requested delay to hash out wording. A delay in settlement means a delay in collecting her cash, can't blame her for that.
I am very curious, however, to discover exactly what the language problem is. Barring any sort of clarification, I'm going to stick to my opinion that it has to do with saying $100,000 is for Alexander's "trauma" and thereby opening the door for a civil suit on the boy's behalf.
Looks like everyone has their own dislike vote. It's catchy I quess. Congradulations everyone. Don'tcha feel the Love?

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (April 16, 2012) – Rutgers senior guards Khadijah Rushdan (Wilmington, Del.) and April Sykes (Starkville, Miss.) were selected in the 2012 WNBA Draft, announced Monday. The draft was held at the ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn., with live coverage on ESPN2.
The Los Angeles Sparks selected Rushdan with the third pick in the second round (15th overall), while Sykes was taken with the fourth pick of the third round (28th overall).
"I'm excited and very grateful for the opportunity to pursue my dream of playing professional basketball in the WNBA," said Rushdan. "The Los Angeles Sparks are a great organization and I look forward to going out there and working hard."
During her Rutgers career, Rushdan appeared in 135 career games, making 117 starts. A two-time All-BIG EAST selection, she scored in double figures in 65 outings, recorded 11 double-digit rebounding games, seven double-doubles and one triple-double (only second player in RU history) in her career. This season, Rushdan achieved a pair of milestones becoming the 30th player in program history to record 1,000 career points and just the second player in Rutgers history (men's or women's) to post 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 400 assists. She finished her career ranked tied for first in career games played (135), second in free throws attempted (554), third in made free throws (379), seventh in assists (464) and 17th in points (1,288) in the Rutgers record books.
"It's an honor to have the opportunity to continue to play the game I love," said Sykes. "I'm excited to play for the Los Angeles Sparks and Coach Ross, someone I've known since I was 10 years old. It's also going to be a lot of fun to have the chance to play with Khadijah again."
Sykes played in 129 career games 'On the Banks,' earning starts in 74 contests. She owns 53 double-digit scoring games, including 12 with 20 or more points. Sykes became the 31st player to score 1,000 career points and is represented in the Rutgers record books in a number of categories. She ranks fourth in career three-point field goals attempted (468), sixth in three-point field goals made (138), tied for eighth in games played (129) and 24th in points (1,162)
"I'm so thrilled for these two young women," said Stringer. "They have worked extremely hard throughout their careers and have come a long way. It's a joy to do something you love and they definitely share a genuine love for the game of basketball. This is a great opportunity for both of them and I know they will do whatever it takes to make themselves, their families and Rutgers very proud."
Rutgers has had at least one player selected in the WNBA Draft in six of the past eight drafts except in 2007 and 2011 (no draft eligible players in 2011). It marks the third time during that span that two Scarlet Knights were chosen in one draft. Rushdan and Sykes join current WNBA players Matee Ajavon (Washington Mystics), Essence Carson (New York Liberty), Cappie Pondexter (New York Liberty), Epiphanny Prince (Chicago Sky), Tammy Sutton-Brown (Indiana Fever) and Kia Vaughn (New York Liberty).

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Many people have fond memories of the World's fair in Spokane 40 years ago.
Riverfront Park is a constant reminder of Expo '74 and a permanent souvenir from the event. You can still go to local store and find small banners or even creamers from the event.
Sheila Gerathy was just 13-year-old when the world's fair came to town.
"The whole fair smelled like Belgian waffles, that was the really big thing back then," said Gerathy.
WATCH: A look back: Expo '74 opening ceremony
She is still collecting souvenirs 40 year later. She has cups, plates, salt and pepper shakers, books and much more.
"I just love my Jim Beam bottle, I think that is so unique," said Gerathy.
The White Elephant stores in Spokane still have plenty of collectables for sale. Gerathy said friends tell her they have many souvenirs just like her.
READ: What was your favorite Expo '74 moment? 40th Anniversary in May
No matter what it is, each represents Spokane's success in hosting the event. Gerathy's father even helped organize the fair.
"I'm just so proud of my dad and all the work that he did for Expo," said Gerathy.
WATCH: Committee shows off proposed Riverfront Park upgrades
The biggest souvenir for people like Gerathy is the impact that the World's Fair had on their city and how much Spokane has grown since Expo '74.

A 24-year-old man died in a two-car crash on Interstate 395 in Waterford early Thursday morning.
A tractor-trailer owned by U.S. Food Inc. was traveling on I-395 southbound near Exit 78 around 2:30 a.m.
A 1994 GMC C1500 pickup truck being driven by Joseph Civitelli of Hamden was traveling on the northbound side of I-395 when the vehicle drifted into the center median, police said.
The pickup truck, police said, slammed into the guardrail and flipped over into the path of the tractor-trailer.
The driver of the tractor-trailer, Arquimedes Virella, tried to "swerve" out of the way of the pickup truck, but it slammed into the vehicle, police said.
The tractor-trailer then crashed into the metal guardrail, police said.
The impact from the crash sent the pickup truck into center median and caused Civitelli to be ejected from the vehicle.
Civitelli was taken to Lawrence & Memorial Hospital where he died a short time later.
Virella was not seriously injured in the crash, police said.
The crash remains under Connecticut State Police.

I've actually been having issues with Altoholic. I tried to set it up again the other day and it just kept blowing up on me. (Not to mention showing old gold ammounts for my main and not updating anything with new toons.)
A simpler addon to use I find is BagSync. When used with Combuctor (and amazing bag addon) it makes it so all you have to do is click your portrait on the bag frame and you get a dropdown of all toons on that server that it has seen. You can then view all their bags from there. It also adds a notation in your tooltips of how much of an item you have in your bags, your bank, your alts, and your guild banks. As both total and individual numbers. If all you want is to know your items BagSync is my recommendation. If you want more though (and don't have issues with it) Altoholic does EVERYTHING you could ever want and probably more.
IIRC, there was a point where the author changed formats or something(TM). and it caused the new model to blow up if that old data was around.
I suggest removing the addon from the addons folder completely (delete it and it's companion, DataStore). Delete the data for it from /WTF/Account//SavedVariables (delete anything Altoholic* or DataStore*). Then re-download and re-install the addon.
That ought to solve the blowing up AND the showing of old data. You will have to re-log in to any character to want it to know about, but it should stop blowing up.
I moved from Altoholic to Armory a few months ago. Couldn't be happier with the change.
I give Armory a vote as well.
Shows you the character pane for all your chars, with their proffesions on the right.
When you mouse-over an item, it tells you how many you have in any of your character's inventory, equiped, mail, auctions, bank, etc. (and guild bank ofcourse)

Two Toned Hall Table
Here's how it looked when I got it at at the auctions...
It looks quite ok in the photo, but up close the top was in pretty bad shape. So I stripped the top and started from scratch by staining it again. I also painted the bottom half in a nice blue colour that I mixed myself.
My Mum is in love with this table but I think she'll be out on the street if she brings anymore of my furniture home. She's already ditched their entire bedroom suite (except the bed) to replace it with my stuff.
As I said, it doesn't really lend itself to the style of my house so I'll be listing this one for sale.
I will be a single mother for the next few weeks as my husband is going interstate for work. Therefore I may be a little slack with the blogging for a while. Although I am still working on the dollhouse so I will have some photos soon.
I hope you all have a fantastic day :)

UNDATED (WSAU) -- Wisconsin is finished with Gypsy Moth spraying for this year. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection says they completed this year's target areas for spraying pheromones to disrupt their reproduction this past Friday, when they completed spraying in Douglas and Rusk counties.
This year's spraying efforts were focused in the western and northwestern areas of the state.
The Gypsy Moth was brought to America in 1869 by Etienne Leopold Trouvelot, who hoped to breed them with silkworms to produce a hardier species. Some of the moths escaped, and have slowly spread westward ever since.
More information about the Wisconsin Gypsy Moth control program is available online.

Why do mom's have to complain so they stop being shipped out.
She's a teenager…teenagers shave, especially a teenage werewolf.
And because she's hard to find people want butt tons of money for her.
Can't someone just sell me her for the original price….or even just $10 over plus shipping?
I think it has more to do with how dolls like that create body issues for young women and introduce them to the idea that being pretty is the only way they can be appealing.
Take it from a woman with a 13 year old sister.

From nonprofits to the military, we continue to learn more about the far-reaching impact of the government shutdown, including possible cuts to nonprofit programs that help the most vulnerable.
The Child and Adult Care Food Program pays for a lot of nonprofit food outreaches, like those at the Boys and Girls Clubs and Head Start.
The funding could run out in 10 weeks, and that has a lot of groups searching for a plan B.
While that could be weeks away in most cases, many people are feeling frustrated now.
With signs and patience, picketers stood near Fort Campbell on Wednesday, demanding a resolution to the shutdown in Washington.
"The line in the sand has been drawn, and we're the fallout from that line," said Judy Hansford, with the AFGE Local 2022.
The union represents many of the workers at Fort Campbell, where the shutdown sparked immediate furloughs and fears of delayed paychecks.
Republican Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn, R-TN, defended the fight in Congress as much more than an issue of healthcare.
"We cannot continue to borrow $2 to $3 billion a day just to keep the doors open. And it is imperative that we put the issues that are causing the escalation in federal spending on the table so we can address them," she said.
Even though the government is shut down, some people are getting paid, including the very members of Congress who can't agree on how to get government running again.
In light of the shutdown, however, many are giving up their salaries and donating the money to charities.
That includes local representatives Jim Cooper, D-TN, and Diane Black, R-TN.

Alistair has the list of cricket fixtures, and tries to persuade Iftikar to join Ambridge's team. Iftikar agrees to help Alistair do an inventory at the pavilion but isn't available on Thursday because of dinner with Elizabeth. Alistair questions whether he and Elizabeth could become more than friends, insisting it's a friendly enquiry, not an interrogation.
Alistair tells Shula that Iftikar and Elizabeth have a burgeoning friendship. Shula thinks he's being ridiculous. Elizabeth is still grieving and Iftikar's not really her type.
Tom's got hold of tickets for a concert this evening. But Brenda will have to join him there later, as she's promised to give Vicky a hand with Bethany.
When Brenda turns up, Bethany's been coughing and Vicky's beside herself with worry. Mike arrives, and takes control, getting Brenda to run the shower to fill the bathroom with steam. The steam clears Bethany's airways and she becomes much calmer. Meanwhile, Tom phones to see where Brenda's got to. Tom's frustrated when Brenda tells him she won't make the concert.
Back home, Tom's sorry if he's upset Brenda again. He didn't mean to sound uncaring and suggests they do something next week. Brenda's sorry too, but she's really tired after a stressful evening so she's going to bed.

character basedDescribes programs capable of displaying only ASCII (and extended ASCII) characters. Character-based programs treat a display screen as an array of boxes, each of which can hold one character. When in text mode, for example, PC screens are typically divided into 25 rows and 80 columns. In contrast, graphics-based programs treat the display screen as an array of millions of pixels. Characters and other objects are formed by illuminating patterns of pixels.
Because the IBM extended ASCII character set includes shapes for drawing pictures, character-based programs are capable of simulating some graphics objects. For example, character-based programs can display windows and menus, bar charts, and other shapes that consist primarily of straight lines. However, they cannot represent more complicated objects that contain curves.
Unlike PCs, the Macintosh computer is a graphics-based machine. All programs that run on a Macintosh computer are graphics based.

To the Editor: I was intrigued by the article by Sharma and associates (1) in the February 2000 issue about the terms used to describe service recipients. In my practice in central Pennsylvania, I work very closely with several consumer groups, including a local affiliate of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill. My observation is that most service recipients prefer the term "consumer." My colleagues prefer the term "client" primarily and "patient" secondarily. Nonmedical staff overwhelmingly use "client."
Under the paradigm of managed care, the term "customer" is now in vogue in describing the various stakeholders, including the consumer. This term is also very popular in the lexicon of our continuous performance improvement activities at this hospital. So it really surprises me that in the Ontario study providers and service recipients rarely preferred the word "consumer."
I imagine that the use of terminology is widely diverse in the field and is largely contextually determined. Though it may be argued that any term we use has powerful implications for treatment, professionally I prefer "client" or "consumer," but I never lose sight of the person behind the term.

Lancet editorial uses incorrect data to promote abortion agenda
Posted on | November 29, 2012 by Rebecca Oas, Ph.D |
An editorial published in the November 24 issue of The Lancet claims that "women's choice" is the key to reducing maternal deaths, and refers to abortion access as the "neglected taboo in discussions of reproductive health and family planning." The author notes that we are fast approaching the 20-year anniversary of the Cairo International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD), and refers to this milestone as "the moment in time when we need to take stock." This reference may seem an odd choice, given that the definition of "reproductive health" adopted at the Cairo conference was repeatedly clarified as excluding abortion.
Nevertheless, for a "neglected taboo", abortion is the topic of a surprising number of studies and other articles, including several cited directly within the editorial. Unfortunately, much of the actual data given to support the editorial's argument is inaccurate or misleading:
Every year, of an estimated 43·8 million abortions, 49% are classified as unsafe and nearly all (97%) in Africa are unsafe. The percentage of unsafe abortions has increased from 44% in 1995 […] and while maternal mortality overall has declined, mortality from unsafe abortions has remained the same at an estimated 47 000 women each year.
As discussed in a previous C-FAM Friday Fax, the estimates of "unsafe" abortions are inflated, largely because of the way the term is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), which has an "operational definition" equating unsafe abortions with illegal ones, or ones which take place in countries with restrictive laws regarding abortion. As for the claim that mortality from unsafe abortions has remained steady, this is patently false: while The Lancet does not provide a time frame of reference, a paper published by WHO researchers Shah and Åhman reports:
Globally, the number of unsafe-abortion-related maternal deaths from all causes has declined by one-third since 1990, from 69,000 in 1990 to 58,000 in 1997 and 2000, 56,000 in 2003, and 47,000 in 2008. The data show an increased momentum between 2003 and 2008, which is partly attributable to improvements in maternal health services and possibly also to an increasing reliance on medical abortion.
Perhaps the editor at The Lancet meant to say that out of total maternal mortality, the relative percentage linked to abortions has remained largely steady at an estimated 13%. However, this would not help the argument; the editorial notes that mortality overall has declined, and mortality associated with abortion has declined along with it, in spite of the increased percentage of abortions classified as unsafe. Furthermore, abortion-related mortality has decreased dramatically in Latin America compared to Africa, although the two regions both account for the highest levels of "unsafe" abortion worldwide. In their article quoted above, Shah and Åhman attribute much of this discrepancy in mortality to improved medical infrastructure in Latin America, not liberalization of abortion laws.
Despite the admission that global estimates of maternal deaths in 2008 place less than 0.3% of them in the developed world, and despite the fact that Ireland has been a consistent leader in maternal safety even among developed countries, the editorial took the time to admonish the Irish Government to "thoroughly review and reassess its ambiguous abortion law" in light of the recent case of Savita Halappanavar, who died due to complications of a miscarriage. Given the scarcity of reliable and complete information, is unfortunate that a leading medical journal would be so quick to urge legislative action before the findings of investigations into the incident are known. Perhaps a review and reassessment of the global maternal mortality data by the editorial staff of The Lancet would be a better recommendation.

Excited states in (24)Mg are found at 13.25 (0.20) and 14.25 (0.20) MeV. These states are found to be produced from the neutron evaporation from the (25)Mg compound nucleus.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
By Karen Cohilas - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Albany Technical College is experiencing record enrollment, and you can see evidence of the expanded student body all over campus. Students crowded the catwalks during the third day of Summer quarter Thursday.
Classrooms are at or near capacity, as is the parking lot. Almost 3,000 students are enrolled... the largest summer enrollment in the college's 48-year history and a 25-percent increase over last summer.
The economy is the driving force behind the growth. Instructor LaTonya Harris said, "A lot of our students are former Cooper employees and they're coming back to take a trade because you know Cooper just closed down and the medical fi3eld is definitely a field that's going to be forever lasting."
Shanaca Dixon said, "It's very exciting for me as part of student government President and part of the cheerleading squad. I mean everything is just blowing up here at Albany Tech."
Even though the summer quarter started earlier this week, students continue to enroll. The good news for Albany Tech is that the more students are enrolled, the more money the school gets from the state.

KALAMAZOO (WKZO) -- Kalamazoo County Prosecutors are voicing their support for the friends and family of slain Texas District Attorneys.
The National District Attorneys Association is asking prosecutors nationwide to wear black arm bands, black ribbons, or black clothing to honor the memories of murdered District Attorneys Mark Haase and Mike McLelland of Texas, as well as McLelland's wife, Cynthia. Kaufman was killed in January, while the McLellands were killed last weekend.
Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Getting is joining the effort and is asking his staff to do the same. The arm bands, ribbons, and clothing are being worn on April 4th and 5th while memorial and funeral services are held for the McLellands.
Texas Governor Rick Perry has announced a six-figure reward for information leading to an arrest.

She had one of her best outings of the season in the state semifinal, scoring three goals in a 5-1 victory over Centennial. Puckett scored nine goals and had six assists, but she added a lot more to the offense as the set-up player, often providing the pass that led to the assist.

In 25 years of coaching the Cougars, Puckett has had teams bigger on talent but not many bigger on heart. The Cougars graduated 12 seniors after reaching the state Class 3A semifinals last season, but they still won the title this fall.
Fallston's 1-0 title victory over Bethesda-Chevy Chase in double overtime gave the Cougars their 10th hockey title in school history. The title also was the 10th for Puckett, who has a career record of 321-62-18. The Cougars had their ups and downs this season, including a 2-1 overtime loss to Rising Sun that kept them out of the Upper Chesapeake Bay Athletic Conference final, but they hit their stride in the playoffs, outscoring three regional opponents, 23-1.

Oh mmm, what a creative way of creating a lovely breakfast treat. We all enjoyed this bread a lot. It has a nice flavour and soft texture.
I made a couple of changes due to personal preference and what I had on hand: I used a flax egg instead on a real egg, reduced the nutmeg to 1/8 ts and used apple pie spice for the rest, reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup.
Also I used a tad less peanuts for the topping as the whole 1/2 cup would not fit.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this winner with us, Acadia.

We gave this 5 stars for the most creative use of ramen noodles. This is a quick bread that is nice to taste when you are tired of pumpkin or zucchini bread. It would have helped if the ingredients were listed in order, and I didn't know what to do with the 1/2 cup of butter, so I just used it to butter our pieces after baking. The peanuts are the key ingredient in this recipe, don't leave them out! thank you for sharing your recipe!people found this review Helpful.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect here. Would it be a quick bread, a cake? Not having a pan size included added to the mystery. After mixing this up & seeing the amount of batter I elected to go with a 10" square pan instead of a loaf pan. It worked fine & didn't run over, but since it didn't rise much it probably would have been better in a large loaf pan. The peanut flavor really does come through. We liked that a lot, but both of us thought it wasn't sweet enough to be a dessert. Maybe a thin glaze after baking? I plan to try it toasted & serve with honey butter for breakfast. The bread was dense and didn't rise much. Looking back I used baking SODA rather than powder. oops. I did think this was a VERY creative use of the contest challenge ingredient (ramen noodles) and look forward to more of your entries in future contests! Good luck in the contest!people found this review Helpful. You can only vote others' reviews helpful or not helpful... Was this review helpful to you? Yes | No We don't know who you are.

SANParks opposes proposal to mine coal at Mapungubwe - 20 April 2009
Musina - South African National Parks (SANParks) is challenging an application for a R3 trillion mining operation to be established at the entrance to the Mapungubwe World Heritage Site.
SANParks spokesperson Wanda Mkhutshulwa said on Monday that SANParks was opposed to the idea as it threatened the environment around Mapungubwe, particularly the quality of its water.
"We are currently engaging the department of minerals and energy over the concerns that we have as SANParks. We are concerned about the impact the mining will have on the national park," said Ms Mkhutshulwa.
"Our mandate is to look after the park and ensure that the environment surrounding it is protected. From our view, the mining project will have a negative impact on the water in the park."
She said meetings between SANParks and the Department of Minerals and Energy would be held soon to discuss the concerns further.
Department of Minerals and Energy spokesperson Bheki Khumalo stressed on Monday that the mining project was not a done deal.
"Coal of Africa has applied for mining rights with the department. This is an ongoing process. After all objections have been registered and all concerns considered the department will make a determination. We are still months away from that," said Mr Khumalo.
The Mapungubwe National Park, situated near Musina in Limpopo, is not only a game reserve, but is also home to the archaeological treasure of Mapungubwe, a kingdom predating that of Great Zimbabwe.
Mapungubwe was the base of a trading empire that traded with the people of China, India, Egypt and Persia, exchanging ivory, gold around the year 1200.
Mapungubwe National Park manager Tshimangadzo Nehemani said the park would lose its middle class market who has grown enchanted by the mystical allure of Mapungubwe.
"Our 2008/2009 tourist statistics show that we had 26 000 visitors, 76% of whom were locals while 75% were black," said Mr Nehemani.
A much-awaited interpretation centre will open by the end of this year, giving the public access to priceless gold work uncovered at the site, including the world-famous and exquisitely crafted tiny golden rhino, a gold sceptre and gold bowl.
JSE-listed mining company Coal of Africa (CoAL) presented a scoping report at a community meeting of about 150 people last Thursday, in which it stated that the Vele Mining Project, which would be a combination of an open cast and underground coal mine, would create jobs and inject investment into the province.
Chief Operations Officer Riaan van der Merwe said the project would create in the region of 14 000 direct and indirect employment opportunities or benefits during the construction phase and around 30 000 direct and indirect jobs during the operational phase.
But local business owners have complained that the scoping report failed to address concerns raised at previous meetings.
Among the concerns was the issue of an environmental impact assessment study on how the Musina roads would be affected by coal-hauling trucks and dust from the coal. "We have such a beautiful environment here. The atmosphere is clean and all of that will be wiped out by the coal business," said Paul Hatty, manager of Mopane Bush Lodge which is situated about 7km from the proposed mining site.
Mr Hatty said his lodge drew over 100 international tourists per month who routinely visited the world heritage site.
"We will lose our clients as no sane person will pay money to be swallowed by coal dust," he said.
Vhembe district municipal councillor Mapulanka Baloi welcomed the proposal, saying it would benefit many people.
"Coal of Africa has been consistent in its approach to this project since inception and we are excited about the prospect of them coming to Limpopo. The mine will create new levels of economic development and employment and bring the province to a new level of prosperity," said Mr Baloi.

In 21st century Iraq, the enemy is not a state, though it calls itself one. The Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) is a group of Islamist insurgents whose presence stretches across the border between Syria and Iraq.
The only way to defeat the Islamic State is through military force, but Americans will not be doing the fighting on the ground. General John Allen, who commanded NATO forces in Afghanistan, has observed that, "the Kurds, the Sunnis and the Free Syrian resistance elements of the region are the 'boots on the ground' necessary to the success of this campaign."
Make no mistake: dismantling a nascent Islamic State is a serious undertaking, involving thousands of U.S. personnel and a robust interagency effort. The insurgents are ruthless, resourceful and are adept at weaving themselves into the fabric of the region, making them virtually undetectable until they strike. If President Barack Obama's strategy is to "contain" ISIL, not destroy it, as the New York Times reported on Aug. 22, he will fail.
Masked and without a uniform, ISIL is impossible to fight using the doctrines of the past. Airstrikes and raids will fail to do damage without actionable intelligence. To keep pace with and then overtake ISIL, the U.S. Central Command should first select a widely respected four-star officer to lead a new joint task force. It would operate inside Syria and Iraq, and along the Turkish and Iranian borders. No Burger Kings or Best Buys on this base.
And every part of the U.S. intelligence and military apparatus has to work together; just they did with the interagency Joint Task Forces in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2003.
