If it's crap ... We'll tell you
Welcome to
The Spill Movie Community
Joss Whedon's 'The Avengers' has already made upwards of $280 million overseas before even hitting US theaters. It's also a phenomenal film in this writer's opinion. Success of this kind, especially in the realm of superhero cinema, always gets the geek hive mind contemplating, and we couldn't help but wonder what a Joss Whedon Batman film would look like. Turns out, as some of you may already know, Whedon did in fact bid to helm the reboot of the Caped Crusader, which of course ultimately went to Christopher Nolan. In a recent interview with GQ, Joss described one of his favorite scenes from his rejected script that gives us a glimpse into his approach to Bats' origins. The scene revolved around a young Bruce Wayne who, after the slaying of his parents, became a morbid child obsessed with death. In a crucial moment, one that would forever shape his destiny, Bruce tries to protect a girl being bullied in an alley. Whedon goes on to say...
"And he's like this tiny 12-year-old who's about to get the shit kicked out of him. And then it cuts to Wayne Manor, and Alfred is running like something terrible has happened, and he finds Bruce, and he's back from the fight, and he's completely fine. And Bruce is like, 'I stopped them. I can stop them.' That was the moment for me. When he goes 'Oh, wait a minute; I can actually do something about this.' The moment he gets that purpose, instead of just sort of being overwhelmed by the grief of his parents' death."
Pretty powerful stuff. Don't get me wrong, I am not at all saying I regret that Christopher Nolan got the Batman gig over Whedon. Hell, Whedon himself even loves 'Batman Begins.' I don't know what more we could have possibly asked for in Nolan's relaunch of the franchise, but it is interesting to think about how the Dark Knight would have risen under a different puppet master. I like the idea of Bruce latching on to a clear sense of purpose as a child, and realizing he had the physical strength to fight those who oppress others. Apparently however, the studio did not like it. As Whedon recalls, "the executive was looking at me like I was Agent Smith made of numbers. He wasn't seeing me at all." Again, I wouldn't change a single frame of 'Batman Begins,' but it's funny to think that Warner Brothers couldn't see the merit in Whedon's vision given that he just made Marvel a boatload of money. Of course, having not read the entire script, I can't speak to the overarching quality of it, but I can at least imagine that the dialogue was as punchy as Batman at an Arkham escapee picnic.
What do you guys think a Whedon Batman would have looked like? Could you see him potentially helming a future entry in the franchise?

@Gift of Magi Nolan show did Batman was a hero at the end of TDKR when he tells Commissioner Gordon to say he was responsible for the deaths that Harvey Dent caused.
Nolan's Batman is the best Batman that was and will ever be put on screen and although I'm a fan of Whedon his interpretation of Batman would not hold a candle to Nolan's Batman, but just that's my opinion.
Yes he would experience trauma...any kid would...but crazy? That would pretty rare, and if Batman really IS crazy, then that takes away from him being a superhero...and makes him more a character in Kick-Ass or Super i.e. an insane nutjob that should and MUST be locked up befre he hurts someone. Hells, TDK pretty much paints him as such...which ruins the narrative that he's some kind of knight.
Come to think of it, Nolan's films do not in any way show Batman being anything like a superhero. It's just a guy in an armored suit beating the shit outta people. Maybe Whedon really SHOULD have done those films...
I find Nolan's version of Batman very realistic....if you witnessed your parents getting murdered you most likely would be crazy...
To be perfectly honest, the currently style of Batman is WAY too serious, dark and 'realistic' to even support a character LIKE Batman.
I mean please, at this point, Batman is a borderline sociopath because he could not stop his parents' murder AT SIX YEARS OLD! Do you have any idea how many other heroes has the same exact origin before and after Batman, and yet have able to have at least SOME humanity in them? Batman has become a parody of himself. Whedon is EXACTLY what the franchise needs, not Nolan.
Whedon himself said his style is to go into the serious material and then undercut it with humor & sarcasm....We don't need that in Batman....I watched All of Buffy and cried at the end....I watched all of Angel and loved it....I'm good...let Whedon do Avengers 2 & 3....and if he can squeeze it in a Hulk movie....
@Quicksandbuddy, batman is a darker storyline than avengers, Whedon has more than enough movie chops to know that.
Should Whedon have gotten a crack at batman reboot? Avengers! Need I say more?
misspelled his name....I just watched Avengers thought it was better than sex....Still think he would fuck up Batman....
I....I like it! MUCH better than his mopey turn-around in Begins. That moment of clarity, without needed a ton of dialogue to explain things, is one of the things the Nolan films lack.
You've obviously never seen his other works.

LANSING (AP) -- The Michigan Supreme Court has ordered that three voter initiatives be placed on Michigan's ballot for the November election, but has rejected a fourth.
Wednesday, the court approved proposed amendments to the Michigan Constitution that would strengthen collective bargaining rights, require statewide voter approval of new bridges or tunnels to Canada, and require a two-thirds super majority in the Legislature or a statewide vote to raise taxes.
But the justices turned town a proposed initiative to add eight more casinos in Michigan. They say the measure is flawed because it fails to note that it would weaken the authority of the state Liquor Control Commission.
The State Board of Canvassers has deadlocked on a series of votes to place the initiatives on the ballot.

Grant Abstract
Grant Number:
PI Name: Cantorna
Project Title: Vitamin D Fluctuations and the Mucosal Immune Response
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is highest for people that live in the Northern parts of the United States and Canada. Vitamin D status has been shown to change with season as a result of decreased sunlight exposure that produces vitamin D in the skin. In addition, the diet is a relatively poor source of vitamin D. Experimental IBD is more severe in vitamin D deficient mice and the active form of vitamin D (1,25(OH)2D3) suppresses the disease. We hypothesize that decreased outdoor activity and increased pollution and diets that lack adequate vitamin D have combined to create large fluctuations in vitamin D status in developed countries and especially in populations that experience winter. We propose that vitamin D exposure prenatally as well as postnatally alters immune function and as a result IBD. The vitamin D hypothesis proposes that vitamin D regulates the development and function of the immune system and that changes in vitamin D status especially prenatal as well as childhood alterations affect the development of the resultant immune response and the development of diseases like IBD. Our preliminary data show that the increased susceptibility of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) KO mice to experimental IBD is a result of altered T cell homing that results in few mucosal CD8aa regulatory T cells in the gut. We propose that CD8aa T cells require vitamin D and that even transient periods of low vitamin D status result in decreases in the CD8aa T cells of the intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL). We hypothesize that vitamin D is required for the development of the mucosal CD8aa T cell receptor a¿ IEL. The mechanisms involved might include an effect on gut T cell homing, development of CD8aa precursors in the thymus, and/or extrathymic signals that induce expression of CD8aa. The mechanisms by which vitamin D and the VDR regulate the CD8aa T cells will be determined. The data generated from these experiments is critical to the understanding of the effects of vitamin D on immunity and the potential use of high dose vitamin D as an alternative way to prevent or treat diseases like IBD. Public Health Relevance: There is at present a great deal of misinformation about vitamin D and vitamin D supplements as immune system modulators in the public forum. Identifying the cellular and molecular targets of vitamin D in the immune system is important so that rational decisions about the use of vitamin D supplements for healthy individuals as well as patients with autoimmune diseases like inflammatory bowel disease can be made.

Did you hear about the tragic event that happened in Germany this weekend? If not check it out here. A love parade went horribly, horribly wrong. I can't help but see a parallel in many churches today. We are supposed to gather together to encourage. We are supposed to gather together to lift up. We are supposed to gather together to worship, learn, and grow…together. But far too often Christian get together and what happens isn't necessarily killing each other, but more so the cause that they supposedly stand for.
- We speak about each other with malice, rather than to each other in love.
- We desperately try to outdo each other with our stuff, rather than outdo one another in showing humility.
- We want to appear better, above the fray, above the problems, rather than allowing another believer the opportunity (or ministry) to speak into your life.
In doing these things and many others we make our churches look wholly undesirable to a world that is looking for something lasting and is looking for something meaningful. And even deeper than that we wound the body that we are a part of. We hurt the very body that we belong to.
- Every gossipy word, email, Facebook post, text, or tweet harms the body.
- Every prideful glance, thought, or one-ups-man story wounds the flesh.
- Every time we resist help when we desperately need it we make the other parts of the body feel worthless and atrophy.
Read what Paul said in Ephesians 4
Ephesians 4.1-6 (bold emphasis mine)
Here's the issue: we are to stand united. We are ONE body that is supposed to mutually love and mutually care for each other. We are supposed to bear with each other and love each other eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit. We need to do this in humility…so guess what? You aren't ok, you aren't fine, and neither am I (I wrote a post about this a while ago, here it is). We need each other in this body from young to old, from student to elderly, from child to parent…we need each other. We don't need to try to outdo each other except in showing honor (Romans 12.10). We certainly don't need to speak with malice about one another. So here are some suggestions:
- If you struggle with gossip or are having negative feelings towards another brother or sister go speak with them. Pray with them, share with them the issue, and resolve to walk out loving one another. Don't speak to another person about it. Speak to that person.
- If you struggle with "one upping" your brother or sister in Jesus then stop doing it to make yourself look better, but start doing it in making them feel honored.
- If you struggle with being "SuperChristian" then realize you aren't. Realize you are not the body, you are only PART of the body. You can't do this thing by yourself, you need each other and the other believers around you have been put there to hold you up and help you function correctly.
Most of all, submit to the Head – Jesus Christ. Do what He would have you to do. All believers are part of His body and by hurting each other we hurt the one who saved us and gave His life for ours. So walk worthy of Him and love your fellow body parts.
Christ is all (but believers are important too),

Critical Essays
Critical Evaluation
The morality play, of which Everyman is the best extant example, and the mystery play are the two principal kinds of medieval drama. The mystery play is a dramatic re-creation of a story from the Bible, its aim being the elucidation of the revelation therein. The morality play, by contrast, is an allegorical form, peopled by personified abstractions such as Beauty, Justice, and Fortitude and types such as Everyman, Priest, and King. Here the subject matter is admonitory, particularly concerning death. As Albert Baugh pointed out, it is difficult to discover precise sources for the subject matter or the dramatic method. There are, however, certain parallels with medieval sermons, which often bolstered moral exhortations with allegorical examples. Indeed, allegory is pervasive in medieval literature, as is, for that matter, concern for a happy death. It is not known, however, how these evolved into the particular form of the morality play.
Few morality plays have survived, and only Everyman remained sufficiently well regarded in later times to be dignified with performance. One reason for the unpopularity of the genre is the limitation of dramatic complication resulting from the static nature of the personifications. The characters are of necessity simple, and there is no possibility of change except perhaps in a central protagonist like Everyman. As a result, there can be little psychological insight and little diverse movement that...

Jan 9, 2009 | 10
One of the great things about working at the longest-continually published magazine in the U.S.—born in 1845—is thumbing through the archives. Our environment reporter, David Biello, was thumbing through some bound volumes earlier this week, and he came across a gem from our February 1947 issue.
The piece, which has no byline, is quite timely, despite being more than 60 years old. It hits two of today's growing crises square on—energy and the economy—by suggesting a replacement for silver and gold monetary standards:
That's right. Less than two years after the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, someone thought it would be a good idea to back currency with a radioactive substance. So instead of gold, Fort Knox would be filled with uranium. Or, today, maybe Yucca Mountain, the proposed nuclear waste storage facility in Nevada, could do double duty as a currency standard warehouse. (Worth noting: The "ultrasecure uranium warehouse of the future" is in Oak Ridge, Tenn., just a few hundred miles from Fort Knox in Kentucky.)
Sep 9, 2008 | 3
The "ultra-secure uranium warehouse of the future" in Oak Ridge, Tenn., is now built, if not quite ready for work. Part of Complex 2030—the Bush Administration's ambitious and little known plan to revamp the nation's aging infrastructure for building nuclear weapons—the warehouse will provide one location for the nation's supply of the highly enriched uranium (HEU) that makes for a powerful nuclear bomb.
Two years of testing remain before the HEU will actually show up, but the $549 million facility will replace "multiple" current storage locations scattered throughout the country. The HEU depot used 92,000 cubic yards of concrete, 5,800 tons of rebar and contains more than 1.5 million feet of wiring—and will ultimately be one of two locations used to store and process "thousands of containers of material," according to the National Nuclear Security Administration, the branch of the U.S. Department of Energy tasked with dealing with the nation's nuclear arsenal.

Quintessential Lumpy slab climbing. Hike up to the Bookend (not to be confused with any other cliff involving the name Book), and starting from the southeast corner of that rock, scramble up slabs and grooves up past the obvious large triangular roof of Orange Julius, to a higher alcove. Keep a lookout on the approach for the route's landmark, a clean, narrow slab with a green streak on the right side of the [Bookend]-- the alcove lies below it, though once you are in it you can't see the slab. P1 - Climb up the left side of the alcove, turn the corner to the left and climb a right facing corner with a hand crack in the back. Turn the roof capping the corner (bolt) and climb up the slab past two more bolts (crux) to a two bolt anchor (110 feet). P2 - Head straight up the phenomenal slab past six bolts (5.9) to lower angle ground where one can belay from medium friends (25 feet to the first bolt) (160 feet). P3 - Finish the climb up easy cracks and grooves to the left, and descend from the top of the [Bookend] to the northeast (160 feet).
The meat of the route is bolted, and only a set of Friends is necessary for the rest.
While it is true that the meat of the climb is bolted, it is important to note that this is not a sport climb. Gear is needed on the first half of the first pitch and for the second belay. I know of at least one party that thought they didn't need gear after the first pitch and the leader was left with nothing but a knot to use for belay anchors at the top of the second pitch.
As someone who'd climbed a heck of a lot more sandstone than granite, in 1995 when I did this route, I found the roof to be 5.8 and the bolted face to be sustained 5.10. I was simply not prepared to smear and crimp like that [on] a 5.10a!
Without a doubt my favorite Lumpy climb! Fantastic setting, slabbing up the second pitch. The move over the roof is only hard mentally, leaving the security of the crack for invisible holds above; but they're there. As a few others have said, this is definitely NOT !!! a "sport route". The first clip after the hanging belay at the end of the first pitch is a good 25-30' out. After that, the next 5 clips are reasonable and right where you really need them, but there is a 35-40' runout on more moderate climbing to get to the 6th bolt (an old 1/4" tin-foil hanger) and then another 20' to your first gear placement! Overall, I think the rating may be a little high but I love slabs and the 10a probably comes in the "pucker factor" for someone expecting a mellow sport route.
This route went before the bolts and Rossiter retroed it? I personally think the crux is just after the first belay. It is stellar, though.
Brent, I understand that Doug Snively pulled this roof with a client in the 70's. After heading up the unprotected face he moved right into Sorcerer. Nothing like a little adventure climbing with a client in tow! As we all know Doug Snively rocks!
When this route first went up, local legend and all around hard guy, Doug Snively said he climbed this route years before it had been bolted. (he assured everyone that he was pleased to see the bolts in now). It seems he was with a client and went up the first pitch belaying below the roof. He then pulled the roof, cruised up the face before heading right and belaying..... All of us who know Doug know he isn't spraying.
Climbed this beauty on 4/26/03 and I'm happy to report someone has replaced the final bolt, and done a nice job of it. It's still a long way between clips but they're all good.
While the runout leaving the hanging belay to the first bolt of the second pitch is long and somewhat unnerving, it is definitely NOT the crux (maybe 5.8+). The crux is right after the first bolt on the face (not the roof bolt) and seems reasonably rated at 10a to me. The roof itself is quite easy (although I'd go with 5.9-, rather than 5.8), but after turning the roof, that next bolt is a good 15-20 feet away, which I found a little "unnerving." One of my favorite climbs at Lumpy--DO IT!
This 1991 classic has gotten a bit thinner over the years... tiny flakes and mini huecos have broken off into little stubby edges and more dished out friction/foot holds. 10b ish above 1st pitch, 2nd bolt. Pitch 2: definitely "old school 5.9 and R to 1st clip...Loving it ,SK.
This thing is spicy! The whole thing is on dime edges with small positive crimps. Certainly not for the aspiring 5.10 leader (not unless you do not fear the whip, 20-30 footers, that is).
My bro and I climbed this on 07/11/03. Fantastic climb! I thought the moves directly after the roof to be the crux, solid 5.10. The runouts were exciting, but the moves are not bad. I wouldn't do this unless you are a very solid 5.10 face climber and not bothered by run outs at this level. Lumpy rules!!
Sweet. I felt the crux of this route was above the 2nd bolt on the 2nd pitch. The moves seemed thinner here than anything on the first pitch. The whole slab is about 200' long and counting the belay anchor, there are 9 bolts on it. Do the math... definitely not a sport climb. Exciting!
First shot at Mariner the other day. I would agree with most that crux comes after the roof going through two bolts to the anchor. Stellar slab climbing past a line of (bomber) bolts that are spaced farther apart the higher you go. Small pucker factor, huge fun. One a the best on Lumpy IMHO. Cheers...
The second pitch has no move harder than 5.9, though it's a bit runout getting to the first bolt from the belay. It is sustained 5.9 slab climbing; you have to constantly think throughout the pitch. It does not let up until you are finished. The bolts are placed where they need to be; however, they are thinly spaced. The climber should have a head for runout slab climbing (hint, hint: think South Platte). I followed the first pitch and led the second, and, I thought the crux was on the first pitch between the top of the roof and the bolted anchor. This, in my opinion, is where the climb gets the 5.10 rating. Climb of the Ancient Mariner is by far one of the finer 5.10 climbs at Lumpy Ridge. You get everything from hand jams, roof, slab climbing, great position, and an incredible setting. All things considered, this is not a sport climb as there is nothing 'sporty' about it.
This is such a great, great route! The runout from the hanging belay to the first bolt is long. While the climbing is easy at that point, I would have to say that a fall onto the anchors could be ..... serious!!
It's been a while, but I remember the start of the second pitch was a little spicy, but the runout on 5.7 above the last new bolt was long! And the reward, some manky old piece of tin that was probably made in someone's garage. Beautiful route, though.
A big thank you to RR for creating an amazing 2nd pitch straight up the slab.
FANTASTIC route! The first pitch is super fun! I'd say the roof move on P1 is about 9-. It reminds me a little bit of 'Flower of High Rank' on Suicide Rock (in SoCal), but it's slightly easier. The slab moves above it are definitely the crux, about 10a. But for me, what makes this climb brilliant is the second pitch: awesome edging and smearing up a rad (and seemingly improbable) face. Some pretty big spacings between bolts makes for thoughtful climbing. The climbing is never very hard (maybe the occasional 5.9 move), but on lead, you have to keep your head screwed on tight. Leading and following this pitch are likely very different experiences.
If you can climb the P1 crux (after the first bolt on the face for me), you can climb everything on P2. The runouts are awesome. Excellent route with a bit of everything, and the slab is definitely the highlight!

Druckenmiller Blasts The Biggest Redistribution Of Wealth From The Poor To The Rich Ever
2 months ago in Business
Reflecting on exactly what was said yesterday, Duquesne's Stanley Druckenmiller is initially perplexed as Bernanke explained 'financial conditions' - not interest rates - have prompted the decision to forestall any taper. His confusion is that financial conditions are actually slightly better than they were in June and "a stock market at an all-time high would suggest we don't have a problem with financial conditions." While he dismisses surveys, the big-money was betting that they were going to taper as is clear from the moves in gold, bonds, and stocks; and it appears the Fed "lost their nerve." In fact, Druck continues, the Fed "blew it... they had a freebie," they could have started the process to "get us off the dope." This action, or inaction, he warns "is going to make it so much harder for the next Chairman to start the process." In fact, he concludes, that from beginning to end - once markets adjust from these subsidized prices - that the wealth effect of QE will have been negative not positive.

Player Profile: Jayson Werth
March 29th, 2013 | by Ray Flowers |Jayson Werth is one productive player, and he's often being overlooked in fantasy baseball in 2013. Should you join the heard and ignore him, or should you buck that trend and target the Nationals' outfielder in your fantasy baseball draft?
In 2008 Werth, while a member of the Phillies, went 20/20.
In 2009 he was one RBI and two runs away from a 30-100-100-20 season.
In 2010 he hit .296 with 106 runs scored.
In 2011 he saw his average dip to .232 though he was one steal from yet another 20/20 season.
Last year Werth was limited to just 81 games. But were you aware that he hit a career best .300 last season? Did you know that his OBP was .387, .025 points better than his career mark? Did you know that his OPS was .827, just slightly ahead of his career .824 mark? Despite all of that information Werth is currently being drafted just inside the top-50 at the outfield position. That must mean he is a potentially valuable add on draft day, right?
It's a surprise to many that the following statements are true about Werth's 2012 season (remember he was limited to just 81 games played so his overall numbers are a bit skewed).
If Werth maintained his pace through 81 games last year over the course of a 162 game season he would have hit .300 with 84 runs scored and 16 steals. That's a pretty good season, isn't it?
Did you know that his .300 batting average was better than Matt Holliday (.295), Alex Gordon (.294) and Yoenis Cespedes (.292)?
Did you know that his .387 OBP was better than Austin Jackson (.377), Shin-Soo Choo (.373) and Carlos Gonzalez (.371)?
Did you know that his .827 OPS was better than Bryce Harper (.817), Jason Heyward (.814) and Curtis Granderson (.811)?
How is a guy like that being drafted to late?
The most obvious thing to point to is that Werth missed half of the games last season. On the plus side he had appeared in at least 150 games each season from 2009-11 so recent history would seem to suggest that he has a good chance of rebounding in 2013.
Perhaps people look at the eight steals and aren't impresses. As I noted though, he was on pace for 16 steals over the course of a full season. From 2009-11 he averaged 18 steals a season.
Perhaps people aren't buying the .300 average. It was a career best, and he does own a .267 career mark. Why was his average elevated last season? His GB/FB ratio was 1.08, just slightly above his career 0.95 career mark. His 12.2 percent walk rate was just above his 12.1 percent career mark. His 18.9 percent line drive rate was a three year high but still below his career rate of 20.4 percent. Nothing going on there explains why his average went up. Two key points that I've yet to mention. After posting a career K-rate of 24.0 percent, Werth cut that number down to 16.6 percent last season. That's damn impressive. Since that mark had never been below 22.5 percent since 2003 it makes you wonder if he can hold on to that again (the odds say he won't). If he can it would go a long way to supporting his strong batting average. The other factor to look at is that .356 BABIP. That's a really big number, but perhaps his give back in that column won't be as pronounced in 2013 as some might think. (1) He owns a career mark of .327. (2) He had a .352 mark in 2010 an a .389 mark in 2007 showing that he can produce at that level for the course of a season.
To sign up for your baseball league this year make sure you check out Fleaflicker.
The other issue that has many nervous is his lack of pop last year, and I get why people are nervous there. From 2008-11 Werth never hit fewer than 20 big flies and averaged 27 homers a seasons. Last year he hit five, a pace that would equal 10 homers. Part of the reason that his power dissipated was the injury to his wrist that landed him on the 60 day DL. I say it all the time – hand/wrist injuries can sap a players power, especially right after they return. However, there is more to it than that. He simply didn't perform up to normal standards. Remember earlier when I noted that his GB/FB ratio was a bit higher than normal at 1.08? That still isn't a huge number, the league average was about 1.20 last season, so it's not like he was hitting a ton of ground balls. However, his fly ball rate was 38.9 percent. That was the first time in four years he had failed to post a mark of 40 percent (his career mark is 40.8 percent). That's a rather minor thing though an certainly doesn't speak to a 50 percent drop off in homers. The reason that happened is that his HR/F fell to 5.3 percent. Not only is that about half the big league average, it's a massive drop off for a guy who owns a 14.4 percent career mark, and one who had posted a mark of at least 12.3 percent each of the previous five seasons. As long as his wrist is healthy, he should see his homer total go back up.
So what to do with Werth? The National announced that they were moving Bryce Harper's spot in the batting order. Harper will hit third behind Denard Span and Mr. Werth. That's a great spot for Werth as he will see a lot of fastballs so that Span will have a harder time stealing and so that the game's greatest phenom isn't always coming to bat with players on base. With health there is a very reasonable expectation that Werth will provide numbers like he always has, and that means a .270-20-65-85-15 type of season is very well within the realm of possibility for a guy who it looks like you may be able to tab as your 4th or 5th outfielder. I like the sound of that a lot and so should you.

China's internet filter, dubbed the 'Great Firewall', is frequently the subject of discussion, and a source of scorn directed at the nation's Communist government.
But when it comes to defending itself against Great Firewall censorship criticisms, China might soon suggest that its critics look at another country: the UK. That's because the controversial Digital Economy Bill passed in the House of Commons last night, 189 to 47. And it gives the British government the wonderful ability to filter sites off the internet too.

Beyond the banks: What derivatives reform means for the corporate world
Proposed regulatory reform through the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Basel III is causing significant change in the derivatives world. While the end goal of the derivatives provisions is ultimately to achieve less risk and greater stability in the derivatives market, new standards come at a considerable cost to corporate users.
Faced with the prospect of increased compliance costs, banks will look to pass these costs down to their customers. In addition, corporations will need to comply with new trading regulations and increased reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
Every aspect of business will likely be affected—from risk strategies and corporate funding to operations and accounting. This 10Minutes provides insight on the impacts of new regulation on corporate entities and what those entities need to do now in order to meet impending reform deadlines and ensure they're well equipped to manage increased costs and compliance responsibilities.
Our weekly guide and immediate alerts to the latest developments in accounting and reporting matters.

David Bernstein believes Roy Hodgson is the perfect man to oversee the progression of England's emerging crop of young stars.
The FA's Chairman insists the future of English football is bright and with youth development at the heart of the organisation's plans for the future, he is confident Three Lions boss Hodgson will reap the rewards.
He said: "I think Roy is a very good manager to have on board to head that up and be a great stimulus for that development. That's very important.
"When I'm asked about what the key things are in the years ahead then that's got to be almost top of the list.
"We are The Football Association and we want successful English football teams."
Since being appointed as England Manager last year, Hodgson has placed his faith in a host of new young players.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck, Tom Cleverley and Kyle Walker are just a few of the youthful stars who have been unleashed on the international stage.
And Bernstein revealed he has been impressed with the improvement England have made under Hodgson's stewardship.
He added: "I think Roy is doing very well. When we took him on first of all we knew we were getting an English Manager, which is what people wanted.
"But secondly we got someone who is extremely experienced and who would also buy into the whole game.
"There are two levels to this. First of all the England team did pretty well in the European Championship – obviously we'd have loved to have got to the semis and beyond.
"And we're doing okay in the World Cup qualifiers. We've got some big, big matches coming up – the Montenegro away match particularly.
"But the other thing about Roy is that he buys into the wider game. A lot of what we're doing through the national football centre at St. George's Park and youth development is to try and bring on and encourage a new generation of highly skilled, ball playing footballers."
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live's Sportsweek, he added: "We've got quite a few players coming through.
"I was at the Manchester United v Liverpool match last weekend and there were something like 17 English players involved across the match day squads.
"That was encouraging as there were some really great players among them."
Bernstein also stressed the importance The FA will be placing on the grassroots level of football as the organisation celebrates its 150th anniversary.
He said: "One of the great things about this year is the fact that not only are we celebrating the start of the organised game and the first set of rules which were established all those years ago but I'm hoping that people will understand the breadth of The FA's work better.
"We run Wembley Stadium, we now run St. George's Park, the national football centre, we run 24 England teams, we cover the whole of the national game.
"We have 400,000 volunteers that come under our ambit, over 2million people play grassroots football regularly, 117,000 people with disabilities play football.
"Women's football is the third largest played sport in the country and we're putting £100million per year back into the game.
"So there are a wide, wide range of functions that we cover and they're all important.
"People focus on things like discipline and so on – which is also important and we also have to run – but that's just one of many, many things we do."
When asked about the one thing he would most like to see The FA achieve in the next five years, Bernstein said: "Leaving aside football development, which is absolutely crucial, we've just delivered a 92 point recommendation on anti-discrimination.
"The whole area of anti discrimination and respect in its widest form – by that I mean respect between players and referees, the crowd and so on – is where I'd like to see a major step forward.
"Then we can focus on really enjoying the game and the wonderful things that football brings."
Bernstein pleased with progress

Mar 14, 2013Excellent. Pretty much THE definitive Batman game. Rocksteady has made the best comic book video game of all time. I can not fault this game in any way, it is as close to perfect as a game can get.
May 27, 2012A great solid game, was really fun. You really feel like batman. Best superhero game I've played.
Sep 11, 2011At long last, a developer who saved the Batman franchise crumbling to death, Batman Arkham Asylum is what Batman fans or super heroes fans want. Strong combat design makes every punch alive , nice detailed graphics is outstanding, Rock Steady did well in their attempt to save Mr. Bat
Jan 19, 2012This is my favorite comic book based video game hands down. Arkham Asylum has a great story, great graphics, and a ton of replay value (its also rather addictive). A must play imo.
Feb 2, 2013
Nov 15, 2011I played this game for countless hours, I loved it. Pretty much everything about it is perfect and this is really suprising considering its a Batman game.
Sep 5, 2011
Sep 2, 2012
Feb 10, 2012I loved batman growing up, I was even obsessed with those horrible batman movies of the 90s, but this game was literally a dream come true. I felt like batman, it's so god damn authentic. The scarecrow parts are by far my favorite parts of the game, holy hell!
Dec 4, 2012**** genius. Why coulnd't they make all superhero games like this? Fun doesn't begin to describe this game. It's just like **** you, this is the game to play. **** call of duty and all that bullshit," It's up there.
Nov 30, 2013The story is great and characters are well played. Everything works so well together the, combat, puzzles, stealth, gadgets. You really feel like the the Dark Knight the World's Greatest Detective. It the best superhero game I have ever played and really nice graphics too. I wish all superhero games were as good quality as this and not cheap film tie in knock offs.
Jun 24, 2013Best super hero video game ever (well, until Arkham City came out). The graphics are great, the action/stealth gameplay is very well done, and the game immerses you into the world of Batman. The only issue with this game are the boss battles, which are repetitious and boring. A most own for all Batman fans.
Oct 19, 2013this game has a story mode and a combat system practically spotless, this game is based on one of the best super-heroes.the game has a different system but this game has side quests and it makes not much to do on your map.
Nov 9, 2011
Jun 6, 2012An amazing Batman Adventure. With graphics that will make even the best games jealous, an original and unpredictable storyline, and an original game-play style, this game is no doubt a n intense Batman adventure. As you play, you feel as if you truly are Batman. Although be warned, this game is very, very hard, even on easy.
Jun 13, 2011An amazing game let down by how stupidly easy is.Even on Hard,it's not challenging at all.Having said that though,it's a brilliant Batman game and I expect better from the sequel.
May 29, 2013A very good game. If you're a batman fan, you're going to love this. Fighting people is well done, stealth missions are great, all the villains were done well and storyline was good. Have to take off points for it's piss poor boss fights and it's lack of replay value. Otherwise, good game. Worth a buy.
Nov 8, 2011
Oct 11, 2013Best batman video game of all time really captures the experiences and feeling of being the bat, only downside is probably the fact that the controls are rather clunky at times and you cant increase the sensitivity of the controller still 10/10 would bang if it was a beautiful lady mmmmmmm
Jun 7, 2013All the in the game is great! How could i tell? btw i hust loved the envirovment of the DC Comic to a new level this is the most best Batman Video Game that created by Rocksteady. Just play it! I'm not ****ting you!
Nov 14, 2013This is one of the best Batman games and started a revolution when it released becoming the best super hero game ever to be created and I gave it a 9.8 out of 10.
Apr 27, 20119/10 = Amazing = The best superhero game of all time is either this or spiderman 2. This game is very sexy and was also one of the biggest gaming surprises ever.

Jan 26, 2012Batman : Arkham Asylum, a game with simple combat system yet interesting and stylish. Not only that, the detective mode game-play really has it's fun. Stealth game play,ooooohh, I love hanging the enemies on the gargoyles. I mean, what more could you ask from a game? Conclusion, one hell of a great game. Don't think, play it.

Jul 13, 2011In my opinion this is a fun stealth, and action game. The story is pretty good, along with the side modes, and just swooping down and taking down enemies is pretty fun. Even though one negative for me is that my whole game file was somehow deleted, this is still a game worth getting.

Oct 17, 2010Simply, the best Batman game ever! What spoils the excellent adventure is the repetition of certain enemies types, Mark Hamill ie the Joker rabbiting on unnecessary at times, and some level design is confusing even in detective mode. Overall a classic in gaming!

Feb 5, 2013This was an excellent game. I personally enjoyed playing the game, and it is exciting to try and find all the riddler trophies and solve all the riddles.
Apr 7, 2013This game features excellent graphics and atmosphere as well as an intriguing story with top notch voice work. The game is a good blend of action, strategy, puzzle-solving and cinematic presentation. Well worth the money. The challenge maps get repetitive and don't really add much to the value but the single player story is where it is at anyway.
Aug 9, 2011One of the best games ever. Great in all aspects. I believe we will have to wait a long time to see a game as good as this one. Never played the other versions but I believe they must be as good as this one.
Oct 8, 2010awesomeness in a X360 box. great that they used the voices from the cartoon show and the joker being mark hamill. the game was awesome. enjoyed tha combat and it is not hard to execute combos. i like the upgrades to the equipment over time allowing new take downs and areas to be unlocked etc.
Mar 1, 2013A masterful game after a long time. Normally Super hero games fall short on expectations and this is the exception. Well written story and amazing game-play. Voice acting just good like Metal Gear Solid. The Villains are very different from each other. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to play and excellent story.
Mar 9, 2013Arkham Asylum not only proved us that Batman games were still possible, it also proved us that they can be masterpieces. The gameplay is simple, but addicting, the atmosphere is dark, and I mean *really* dark. You are free to explore Arkham Asylum to continue the story, or to find collectibles.
This was 2009's Game of the Year. -

Nov 20, 2011
Apr 27, 2013this a great game. this best super hero game i ever played. story and combat are to perfection. graphics are pretty spectacular. joker is at his best being played by mark hamil.
Nov 18, 2011Quite possibly the best superhero game of all time, and certainly one of the best games of 2009. Arkham Asylum has easy to use, hard to master free flow combat which works brilliantly, excellent steal segments with smart AI, an intriguing storyline, beautiful graphics, top notch voice acting by Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill and a dark gritty feel that makes you truly feel like the Dark Knight!
Nov 24, 2010It was an awesome game in almost every way. The ending, for me, kind of sucked. Also, I felt like I could have rushed right through the game in a few sittings if not for wanting to force myself to take my time and try to accomplish the side quests. I hope the next Batman in this series is longer and more immersive.
Mar 5, 2011
Aug 30, 2011The best game that I posess. The game is simply genius in every way and the story is absolutely outstanding. IF you don't have it, than buy it! It is a game that at moments I have found difficult but altogether I didn't struggle with it too much.
Apr 30, 2013This game is not just a Game Of The Year, but it also offers one of the most incredible Batman gaming experiences there is around. Let's just be sure that the new Batman game is as great as it sounds.

Jul 21, 2012Like the movie, the Arkham Asylum game has the dark and sinister feel thats one of the reasons the dark knight was a huge success. The game has great boss fights and great fighting techniques.
Nov 18, 2013
May 28, 2012Batman Arkham Asylum is one of the best Batman games in the world.It gives us a whole new expierience in controlling Batman. The gadgets,detectivemode etc. are very good.The graphics,sound,picture quality are spellbounding.I give you an advice that please play the game if you are a batman fan.
Dec 12, 2013
Dec 26, 2011What a superhero game should aspire to be. Any Batman fan's wet dream. Fantastic controls and combat system, gadgets, eerie graphics and colors, the way Gotham and Arkham would ideally be portrayed, and a fun story with great moments, and crazy amounts of Riddler trophies and riddles to solve. Must have.
May 20, 2013
Apr 28, 2013
Aug 19, 2011This is probably one of the greatest games I've ever played. Definitely the best Batman game ever and it's about time. If you're a fan of beat em' up, superhero games this is a must.

Aug 16, 2013This is the Batman game that everyone wanted. The dark way in this game is perfect for the dark knight. Great voice acting. The best part has to be the final fight or all of the Scarecrow scenes.
Aug 21, 2010Arkham Asylum was everything I expected it to be. An compelling, original story. Good controls, and fun fighting techniques, unique characters, and it looked great all the while. It's everything a super hero game needed to be. I can't wait for Arkham City, definitely picking it up on Stream. this is my favorite super hero game of all time, close to the original Spiderman on Dreamcast!
Feb 28, 2011I really enjoy this game. I think this is first good game about Batman. Arkham asylum is a masterpiece, for graphics and for level design. Fight is easy to learn, but hard to master. Detective mode made it a little to easy, but generally game is awesome. Can't wait for more.

MarkAAug 30, 2009Not only the best Batman/superhero game ever (a farily low bar), but one of the best games of the year period. Takes all the best elements from games such as Metal Gear Solid, Tomb Raider, Splinter Cell, inFAMOUS, James Bond, etc. without any of the bad stuff (poor camera, bad voice acting, boring plot). An amazing game!

RickBOct 7, 2009Batman Simulator. Best superhero game ever made. Combine Metal Gear Solid with Zelda and then wrap it in DC comics lore around Batman. You end up with the core mechanics and themes in the game. The execution in this one is non pereil.
BobT.Aug 25, 2009This game kicks ass. F... Gamepros score of 80......what the f... do they know about video games? F... gamepro. Game informer kicks their ass and has always been 100x better.
FernandoLAug 26, 2009Arkham Asylum is easily the best Batman game so far, and maybe the best super hero game ever made. You really feel like Batman, using all of his famous gadgets and facing some of his old enemies. The Free Flow combat is interesting and it works perfectly. Rocksteady should work on a sequel. This is the GOTY.
AndrewC.Aug 26, 2009
MattSAug 28, 2009Been looking forward to this for ages and enjoyed the demo a lot. Am very happy with final product, though special edition not as good at it at first appeared. Main part is game though which is very good.
GioxLAug 29, 2009
JamesCAug 31, 2009Great game although infuriatingly difficult at times. Very well written, brilliant graphics and gameplay. The Scarecrow sections are outstanding. Best licensed game since Chronicles of Riddick.
MZAug 31, 2009
ConradWAug 30, 2009There is absolutely nothing about this game that doesn't shine through with polish from the developers. Its perfect in every way. If you are getting one game this summer, THIS GAME IS IT! Thank you Eidos and Warner Bros for this masterpiece!
catchalltrashSep 10, 2009I'm about an hour and a half into the game. So far it has been a disappointing experience. The combat is dreadful, navigating the environment is clunky and awkward, character movement is too slow, and the "checkpoint" system needs work. I'm really glad this is a rental.
TheDudeOct 1, 2009
What may be one of Batman's worst nights of his life may end up being one of many players' best experiences of the year.
This is certainly not a game for just Batman fans, comic fans or action fans; this is a game that everyone should play and thoroughly enjoy. It looks beautiful, plays like a dream and has a superb mix of action, stealth and detective elements. The combat is intuitive, flexible and surprisingly deep too. Give this game a go and you will not be pleasantly surprise, you will be blown away.
Batman Arkham Asylum is a product of absolute value that can count on a cast of colorful characters to build a great game, really fun. The greatest strengths of the production lie in the gameplay built around what are the real capabilities of Batman, mixing action and stealth section, but always related with the universe from which have been extrapolated. Rocksteady's game is certainly the new standard for understanding how produce games under license, adapting for videogaming the very spirit of this historic character.

Tom Eschen is the Weekend Sports Anchor and a multimedia journalist at CNY Central.
CAZENOVIA -- With Black Friday and its long lines and crowds in the books, Small Business Saturday moved at a slightly slower pace on Saturday.
Small businesses saw shoppers browse through their aisles, many store owners saying they saw a jump in sales. Those owners say the biggest difference between Black Friday and Small Business Saturday is the fact that there is a personal touch to every item sold.
"At those venues the stress is more, more, more, get as much as you can, this is the opposite, it's more quality than quantity," Deborah Dougherty Wester, a member of the store Cazenovia Artisans, says.
Along with several other local artists, Wester contributes several of the paintings sold at Cazenovia Artisans, and says that each painting sold is something special for both her and the customer.
"It's a wonderful compliment," Wester says. "It's probably as good as it gets, as a piece of yourself is going out there in the world."

eponine is my faaaaavorite
IFC or Sundance was running the non musical version from the 90s with Liam Neeson this week.
Yeah, that 10th anniversary cast was hands-down the best of the lot.
I would let Colm touch my tip if he sung this to me.
Im sorry for ruining tomorrows movie by posting these world class videos.
I saw colm do it so now i'm afraid the movie will suck
The photographer didn't need to relieve himself during the shot. Totally uncalled for.

2010's Top Ten Cars Sold at Auction
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos, Auctions
The industrialist hordes lifting placards to bid this year's vintage machinery were not victim to the paroxysms of 2009, when a 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa went for $12.2 million and a 1965 Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe was swept away for $7.25 mil. None of the top ten trophies in this year's vintage bazaar provoked such financial spikes, yet the decline from first place to tenth was much more gradual: the sum of 2009's offerings was $51.22 million, while 2010 racked up $50.54 million.
That isn't to say the year lacked any monumental spasms: a 1957 Bugatti Type 57C Atlantic "changed hands," to use the clinical parlance of tycoons, for somewhere between $30 and $40 million. That, however, was a private treaty sale handled by Gooding & Company, not an auction result.
Ferrari made another top showing among the perp-walk of pageant winners, with prices spanning $7.26 million for a Ferrari to €2.8 million for a... Ferrari. But Jaguar, Aston Martin, Mercedes and Talbot Lago were also on the list of what ended up being a very beautiful party...

Planetary Decadal First Meeting Next week
At the Keck Building at National Academies in DC next week, the Planetary Sciences decadal survey gets underway. Here is the final agenda in PDF form. There are open sessions on Monday and Tuesday, which the public can attend. You can also see the decadal in the current projects system at the Academies.
Open sessions at Academies events such as these occur when people from outside the committee are presenting to the committee. In this case, the decadal panel will be hearing from the agencies (NASA, NSF) as well as from OMB and staff from Congress.
Update There will be a webcast of the open session available as well. Open session begins at 11:30 EDT
