Hollywood's Not-So-Leading Ladies
Some just need to take the next step, some just need the right script while some need to get their foot in the door. Whatever thei...
These are Hollywood's "Not-So-Leading-Ladies", just as deserving of praise as the next multi-million dollar personality. They're the ones you stick around for the credits for just to find out their names. They're the ones who'll most likely be pretty cheap on the Hollywood Stock Exchange but hopefully earn you some serious (fake) cash in the long run. You may well have missed some or all of these fine performances during your trips to the cinema and video stores, but hopefully this will give you a bit of a guide so you can look out for these actresses and see just what you're missing.
Competition for this top ten list was pretty hot, such is the quality of supporting and leading roles going around in the movies right now. But these are the cream of the crop, with something about each of the performances that makes them really stand out. And let's hope there's plenty more where these came from in the future so it's not just the A-list stars that carry the can for Hollywood.
10) Kate Atkinson – The Hard Word
So none of you have heard of this girl, right? Thought so. While she's totally out of left field and basically sneaks in to the list ahead of almost a dozen other worthy actresses there was still something about Kate's brief but amusing turn in the Australian flick, The Hard Word, that made her stand out. I've included her in protest at her all-too-brief role in the film, though Australian viewers can still catch her in the local television series Seachange when the first couple of seasons are run again on the box. Better still, go grab The Hard Word on DVD.
9) Brittany Murphy – Clueless
While this little pocket rocket has moved on to bigger and better things and is perilously close to becoming a cemented Hollywood starlet, Brittany Murphy's shy new girl role in the surprise 1995 hit Clueless raised more than a few eyebrows. I had little Brittany earmarked as a future star as soon as this film was released, and it seems my suspicions have been well and truly vindicated by Murphy's rise into stardom, culminating in a rather different appearance in the solid Eminem flick 8 Mile. But let's not forget where she started, cause this one's still worth a look.
8) Glenne Headly – 2 Days In The Valley
This film is most notable for Charlize Theron's sexy screen debut alongside serial sexpot James Spader but Glenne Headly's sympathetic performance as a dedicated but abused housemaid is top notch. A relative unknown but with a swag of low to medium budget films under her belt, Headly catches the eye with a perfectly vulnerable character, making her favourable situation at the end of the film all the more satisfying.
7) Dominique Swain – Lolita
An obvious choice here as Swain burst onto the scene in the controversial remake to Kubrick's classic. While the film may not have been to everyone's taste the second time around there was no doubt that Swain showed a maturity far beyond her years as the sexed-up Lolita. Her career hasn't really taken off as some predicted back when the film was released but her role in Lolita alone is more than enough to make the list.
6) Emily Watson – Red Dragon
Another actress largely unknown by the masses until 2002's Red Dragon where she played blind woman Reba McLane. Utterly convincing both with her disability as well as her emotional impact, Watson was duly recognised for such a commanding effort that took everyone by surprise when the focus was on Norton, Hopkins and Fiennes. She's also red-hot in the surprise romantic comedy Punch Drunk Love with Adam Sandler. Quoted as saying "I'm a funny looking bugger", judging by her turn in Red Dragon she's a talented bugger too.
5) Emily Hamilton –He Died With A Felafel In His Hand</a>
The second Emily to make the list is a bit of an obscure choice but her second feature film role was quite intriguing. It's not a flashy performance but there's something about her turn as British traveler Sam that really hits the spot. Basically the straight girl in amongst a bunch of oddball males, Sam eventually hits some strange times herself and Hamilton manages them with aplomb. She's now back doing TV in Britain but I for one wouldn't be disappointed if she turned up in another feature film somewhere along the line.
4) Naomi Watts – Mulholland Drive
While The Ring has established Naomi Watts as a definite Hollywood heavyweight, she was just an unknown Australian when the David Lynch directed bizarre-fest Mulholland Drive hit theatres. So good was Watts that she could sit back and choose the perfect role after only one breakthrough role. You'll be mesmerised with her brilliant turn as Betty, with the audition scene so chillingly spot on you'll see why Watts is sure to be a star for life, adding another Australian to the Hollywood elite.
3) Makenzie Vega – The Family Man
She's not even old enough to see her own films but Makenzie Vega can steal every scene she's in by being downright adorable. The look in her eyes and that oh-so-cute speech quirk in The Family Man is worth the price of a purchase alone, though the film is actually solid work as well. Basically the female version of cuteness-king Jonathan Lipnicki, Makenzie Vega is one of those kids that just seems to know the mood of the film and acts like a veteran trapped inside a little girl's body. She also makes the plaster painting scene in Made an absolute gem, highlighting how good this youngster really is.
2) Rebecca Pidgeon – State and Main
Thank God for nepotism. David Mamet isn't shy to cast his wife in all his films, even if there's not really a role to suit (see Heist). But there was a perfect character for Rebecca Pidgeon to play in the underrated comedy State & Main, and boy does she shine. There's nothing overstated or flashy about her performance, just some great poise and a mature delivery that gives her character an intriguing edge in every scene. Philip Seymour Hoffman works extremely well with Pidgeon throughout and helps her into the number two spot on the list.
1) Zooey Deschanel – Almost Famous
Eccentric name, eccentric character. This off-the-wall queen of quirk stumbled into the spotlight with her role as Anita Miller, brother of William in Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous. It's hard to put my finger on just what is that made this (quite small) role stand out amongst a host of others, but credit must go to Deschanel for lighting up the film with her minimal screen time. She's now got a decent bunch of films behind her, including the Jennifer Aniston flick The Good Girl, so let's hope there's something around the corner to help Deschanel really make her mark on Hollywood.
Honourable Mentions
Most of these actresses were either pipped by the above ten or haven't quite turned in a truly memorable performance despite showing some definite acting potential. Some of this lot may well turn into out and out superstars, while others will undoubtedly fall by the wayside or merely never get a chance to truly shine. Still, every single one is worth looking out for.
Natasha Lyonne – Great early turn in Everyone Says I Love You, held up But I'm A Cheerleader and Freeway 2 and even American Pie saw her command some respect. Needs the right role to really stand out.
Ali Larter – The whipped cream bikini in Varsity Blueswas good (you better believe it) and Final Destination was an odd but successful choice of role. Just needs a more detailed character to prove her worth.
Samantha Morton – Her role in Minority Report was nothing short of sensational, if a little brief due to her being underwater for two thirds of the film. Definitely one to look out for in the future.
Mia Kirshner – Burst on to the scene in one of the few decent roles in 2001's Not Another Teen Movie then went from strength to strength with her commanding turn as a wicked teen in New Best Friend. Couple that with a brief but impressive appearance in acclaimed TV series 24 and it's obvious cute little Mia is going to be around for a lot longer. Fingers crossed.
Anna Paquin – Made an impact like no other child actor in The Piano and has since been seen dotted around a few lackluster films as well as playing the wonderful Rogue in X-Men. She'll be reprising her role in the sequel, hopefully with an inflated story for her character so that she can really show why that Oscar sits on the desk at home.
Amy Adams – Has had a career like a yo-yo but certainly looks the goods if her role in the brilliant Catch Me If You Can is anything to go by. Started out well with a cute little turn in 1999's Drop Dead Gorgeous but then turned to the abominable Psycho Beach Party (along with a host of other name actors) and the awful follow up to Cruel Intentions (though she was quite impressive even with the terrible script) to pay the bills. Thankfully someone realized she had skills, with that someone being none other than big Stevie Spielberg. Her small but memorable role in the story of Frank Abagnale Junior will hopefully turn some heads and keep the decent scripts rolling in.
Amanda Detmer – Balanced out the grating Amanda Peet in 2001's Saving Silverman (a.k.a Evil Woman) with a brilliant little role as an innocent girl who turns into a nun. The film was actually quite enjoyable, due largely in part to Detmer's willingness to have a little fun with her character.
Thora Birch – Her American Beauty character got her noticed, but it was 2002's Ghost World which really made her stand out. A brilliant film coupled with a great performance from the underrated Thora.
Alyson Hannigan – Needs something other than her hilarious Michelle in the American Pie films to really stand out, but the girl has definitely got a bright future ahead of her. No real performance standouts yet but we can feel one coming. Patience, my friends.
On The Way Up
This bunch definitely has some talent but have only just started out on their road to Hollywood stardom. With the spotlight on new faces brighter than ever before it won't be long before some of these impressive actresses moves up in the movie world. One constant with basically all of this group is that none of them have really been given a role to show their worth, save for the exceptional Gyllenhaal who is already starting to show her immense talent. Script writers, this is your cue to get some decent material to each of them.
Maggie Gyllenhaal – Starring with her brother in cult DVD flick Donnie Darko it was obvious this girl's destined for stardom, if she's not there already. Solid work in Riding In Cars With Boys, the slightly odd Secretary and Oscar hopeful Adaptation have certainly put Maggie on the Hollywood map. She's set to star with "Julias" Roberts and Stiles as well as Kirsten Dunst in 2003's Mona Lisa Smile, so the word on the street about this girl is shaping up to be spot on. Her Donnie Darko performance reminds me closely of Deschanel's turn in Almost Famous, just with a little less of the oddball appeal. Word is she might also garner an Oscar nod for her tough role in Secretary, the largely unseen film due to limited runs in the States.
Eliza Dushku – Will someone send this girl a script that doesn't require her to wear a swimsuit, have an attitude or kiss girls (Ok, so maybe that last bit can stay in)? Eliza has shown she's more than just a (very) pretty face with her role as Faith in the Buffy series but her film resume is far from impressive. Like Larter, Dushku's appearance in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back was nothing more than a bit of fun, but hopefully she can land some more meaningful gigs this year. We hope.
Marisa Coughlan – Was overshadowed by the big name leads but her performance in Teaching Mrs Tingle was top notch despite the less than impressive story. She followed up with a small role in Gossip but has rarely been seen since. With a few smaller roles in late 2002 as well as a major part in the star-studded 2003 flick, I Love Your Work, hopefully we'll be loving Marisa's work for a long while yet.
Laura Harris – Largely unknown but many will recognize her face from teen slasher flick The Faculty, where she played the angelic Mary Beth. With basically nothing coming her way following what was a pretty impressive performance one could have been forgiven for thinking she'd given the game away. But with a pivotal role in the second series of 24 in the can Laura can expect at least a few more scripts to come her way.
Erinn Bartlett – Another one out of left field but Erinn does seem to have what it takes, if only because of her unbelievable smile and stunning good looks. The sole reason to watch 100 Women (a.k.a Girl Fever), she's just begging for a decent role to come along.
Jena Malone – Like Gyllenhaal, Donnie Darko didn't do Jena's career any harm at all. She's been playing the confident girl-next-door role (read Life As A House) or a similar version for a little too long now so hopefully we'll get to see a different side of this talented actress. A starring role alongside Mary-Louise Parker and (gulp) Macaulay Culkin in Saved (produced by REM's Michael Stipe, incidentally) tends to suggest we might, for the time being at least.
Those that just need to be mentioned for no real reason:
Mary Louise Parker – Talented, underrated, incredibly cute.
Phoebe Cates - Fast Times At Ridgemont High and a bikini. Enough said.
Mira Sorvino – A much deserved Oscar for Mighty Aphrodite, not too much of substance since.
Nadia Dajani – Something about this small time actress (of TV's Ned & Stacey fame) is interesting, but I've got no idea what. Sidewalks Of New York her only half-substantial role.
And the ones I still don't quite buy:
Rosario Dawson, Amanda Peet, Amy Smart, Taryn Manning, Busy Phillips, Scarlett Johansson
So there it is. Go out and look at the films and actresses in the top ten if you haven't done so. If you have, go look at them again because they're absolute gems, highlighting the fact that you don't have to be on a million dollar payroll to stand out. I watch with a keen interest the careers of all of these actresses to see if they can truly follow up their form with a rise up the Hollywood ranks. Some just need to take the next step, some just need the right script while some need to get their foot in the door. Whatever their paths I'll be waiting to see whether my predictions were at least close to spot on. Let's hope so, for their sakes and mine.

Quarterbacks and receivers had their way with defensive backs, for the most part, on the first day of training camp. Tuesday, it was time for the defense to show that they aren't going to be pushed around all the time.
Middle linebacker Rolando McClain blanketed receivers on short passes over the middle, cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke shined for the second straight day and backup safety Mike Mitchell punctuated the spirited performance with an interception of Carson Palmer on what appeared to be a well-thrown pass for receiver Juron Criner.
"Yeah, we made a few plays," coach Dennis Allen said. "Coaches are all perfectionists, so it's never what you want. I've learned over the years that when you walk off the practice field, it's never as good as you thought it was or never as bad as you thought it was.
"Kind of reserve judgment until we get to watch the tape. It was nice at least to see us make a few plays. Mike Mitchell made a nice play on the interception, so it was nice to see."
The real proof that the defense is up to the challenge, of course, comes during games. For now, it's a nice start.
— The Raiders placed punter Shane Lechler (knee) and cornerback Ron Bartell (hamstring) on the non-football-injury list, which means they aren't able to practice as a result of injuries suffered in non-football-related activities.
The Raiders can activate Lechler and Bartell from the list once they pass a physical and are cleared to practice.
— Second-year player Joseph Barksdale worked at right offensive tackle today, with rookie Tony Bergstrom next to him at right guard. This is in contrast to Monday, when they worked on the left side.
We're still waiting to see them get some meaningful reps with the first-team unit. Allen said that's likely to occur at some point in camp.
Until then, the first-team line looks like this, from left to right: Jared Veldheer, Cooper Carlisle, Stefen Wisniewski, Mike Brisiel and Khalif Barnes.
— Mitchell has supplanted Rock Cartwright as the personal protector on punts. For now, at least. Mitchell is fast enough and versatile enough to execute a direct snap off a fake punt, if needed.
— Denarius Moore and Jacoby Ford were the lone two fielding punts Monday. Today, four others joined the fray — Criner, Rod Streater, DeAundre Muhammad and Derek Carrier.
Ford showed no lingering effects from the tweaked left knee he suffered in practice Monday.
— The NFL has implemented a mandatory use of metal detectors for all fans entering the stadium at games this season. As a result, the Raiders are encouraging fans to arrive at least two hours before kick-off to ensure that no one misses any of the game.
Chief executive Amy Trask is confident that the Raiders won't have any difficulty adjusting to the new procedure aimed at ensuring fans' safety. Part of that confidence stems from the Raiders being the first team to employ walk-through scanners, which are believed to be faster than hand wands.
— Bartell, Lechler, linebacker Aaron Curry and defensive tackle Travis Ivey were the only four players who missed all of practice.
Running back Mike Goodson (hamstring) and tight end Richard Gordon (hip flexor) suffered injuries in practice today. Their long-term status is unknown right now. They will be evaluated on a daily basis, Allen said.
As for Lechler's status, Allen said: "I don't expect it to be any big deal, so I'm not real concerned about it."
— When asked to rate the performance of Palmer so far, on a scale of 1-10, Allen doled out high praise, as well as high marks.
"Eight, nine," Allen said. "He's doing exceptional. He's got full command of the offense and he's doing a nice job of running it."
Seeing Palmer perform at such a high level and in a nice comfort level, in turn, gives Allen peace of mind that the offense is in good hands.
"Absolutely," Allen said. "You can't win in this league on a consistent basis (without an reliable quarterback), and we feel good about the one we got."
Being able to work with his teammates and coaches all year has helped a great deal, Palmer said. Last season, he arrived midway through the season after asking out of the Cincinnati Bengals and not practicing or playing until mid-October.
"It's (Bill) Parcells that always says, 'There's a difference between being in shape and being in football shape, and the only way to get into football shape is to play football,' " Palmer said. "When you don't play football for seven months or whatever it was, it just takes awhile not only for your mind to adjust to the speed of the game but your body to adjust. That was one of the toughest things for me just trying to get caught up with game shape."
— The Raiders are permitted to throw on pads at practice for the first time Wednesday. Guidelines set forth in the Collective Bargaining Agreement prohibit teams from using pads the first two days of camp.
Allen, for one, is fired up about the prospect of seeing how his players look in pads. All the offseason workouts were conducted without pads, as well, per league rules.
"We're going to go play football, and that's the way the game was meant to be played, in pads," Allen said. "We'll put 'em on, we'll mix it up a little bit, and we'll find out who's going to compete when we put the pads on."
— Allen showed Tuesday that he won't hesitate to get on his players if they aren't performing at an acceptable level.
At one point, Allen stopped practice, assembled his players and reminded them about what he expects from them in practice.
"I felt it was necessary to bring them all in together, let 'em know what I was observing, and give 'em a chance to get it corrected," Allen said. "They did a pretty nice job of responding."
Palmer said it's not uncommon for their to be a letdown this early in camp, especially with the hot weather.
"Today was not quite what we expected," Palmer said. "Coach had to get on us a little bit. But yesterday was a good first practice. Today was kind of what you'd expect from a second day, a little bit sluggish.
"We had a couple of guys pull up with some cramping and minor things. Like coach says, there's no light at the end of the tunnel right now. It's a grind. We have a double day tomorrow and we just have to keep working."
— Add Marcel Reece to the list of people impressed by running back Darren McFadden.
"I keep saying it and I'm going to keep saying it; Darren McFadden is the best running back in this league, and he's going to be that," Reece said. "I'm excited for him and just for him to show you guys everything he can do."
— Plays of the day
1. Mitchell's interception of Palmer.
2. Palmer delivered a perfect strike to Reece on the left sideline, with the ball placed just over the hands of rookie linebacker Miles Burris.
3. Criner turned around Shawntae Spencer, caught the crossing route and continued down the left sideline for a long gain.
4. Spencer and strong safety Tyvon Branch bracketed receiver Eddie McGee on a deep post route, giving McGee no room to make a play on a ball that sailed over his head.
5. Palmer eluded a strong rush, stepped up in the pocket and delivered a strike to receiver Jacoby Ford.
— Quote of the day: "I went home and my mama told me, 'DeMarcus, I'm your No. 1 fan, but you dropped too many interceptions last year.' So, this year, I'm trying to work on catching the ball and turning my head when the ball when the ball is in the air." — Van Dyke on what he felt he needed to work on from his rookie season

5 point score based on user ratings.
Akuma"Akuma'", the name of the evil warlord in Karateka (and many other games featuring a Japanese bad guy), is a Japanese word that roughly means 'devil'.
Akuma CastleThe Akuma Castle that appears at the beginning, seems to be inspired by the "Himeji Castle" that really exists in Japan, near Kyoto. Search on Google or Altavista Image Search for "Himeji Castle" and you'll find pictures of the real castle.
Android and iOS versionsThe Android and iOS versions runs on the Apple II GS emulator ActiveGS.
Apple II versionThe Apple II version of Karateka came on one single-sided floppy disk. However, by booting Karateka up on the opposite side (Side Two) - the game would still load, but now the game was upside down. A visual gag on the part of someone at Brøderbund most likely.
Atari 7800 versionFor the Atari 7800 version of Karateka, the end label on the cartridge was unusual in that it featured square corners instead of the usual rounded corners. This was one of the only (if not the only) games to do so.
CliffIt is possible to fall off the edge of the cliff in the first scene if you back into it.
EngineThe game's engine would be later used in Prince of Persia.
Text filesMost of Karateka on the PC is made of editable text files. You can modify the game by changing the coordinates in the language files.
Title"Karateka" means a practitioner of karate.
Hidden TextThe Atari 7800 version contains a hidden message at hexadecimal address 0x079D, which reads "MOMMY AND ME ARE ONE". This refers to a 1985 study on subliminal messages by Lloyd Silverman and Joel Weinberger, in which a near-identical phrase was supposedly found to have a positive effect on subjects' self-motivation.

JBL introduces next generation of EON portable speakers
Representing the next generation of its groundbreaking and industry-standard EON® series portable loudspeakers, today JBL is introducing the EON500 and EON300 series.
The unveiling of the EON500 series self-powered and lightweight speakers immediately raises the bar in the category of molded powered loudspeakers in all aspects, from industrial design to sonic performance, integrated utility and portability.
"Since its introduction in 1995, the EON series has led the way in terms of versatility, performance and value, as evidenced by the sale of nearly one million EON speakers to date," said Simon Jones, Director of Marketing, Portable PA, JBL Professional. "Thanks to the acute attention to detail in the design engineering of EON, the highest level of quality is delivered to the end user. JBL has developed the new EON500 series loudspeakers with this same dedication to performance and reliability, while increasing portability, through an even lighter system and designed ergonomics. It has more performance, it's lighter and it's even easier to move around."
There are three models in the new EON product range. Each of the full-range EON500 series compact, lightweight models features an on-board mini-mixer with loop-thru or mix-out capability, allowing for greater control of the loudspeaker's output. The EON500 series loudspeakers also offer selectable EQ, multiple suspension points, soft-grip handle and a full screened backed grille for extra component protection.
The EON500 series loudspeakers feature a combination of JBL's patented engineered components, enabling a smaller enclosure and lighter weight than competitive models. When combined with the products' ease of handling, the EON500 series loudspeakers are ideal solutions for everyone from mobile DJs and musicians to systems integrators.
The unmatched reliability of the EON500 series loudspeakers is the result of JBL's integrated design of the woofer, amplifier, wave guide and thermal management of all components. Additionally, all electroacoustic components have been specifically engineered for the EON system. Because the features and manufacturability of the system have also been developed in unison, the highly refined production process contributes to the reliability of the products.
The EON515 and EON510 are both 2-way powered speaker systems, offering mic and line level inputs, as well as selectable system EQ, giving users a "loudness" type control and the ability to roll off the low frequency for maximum performance with a subwoofer or when used as a floor monitor. Both models feature one XLR/ quarter-inch combo connector and additional quarter-inch inputs providing input flexibility and the ability to mix multiple sources. Each loudspeaker features one XLR output where the output signal is selectable, either the whole mix may be looped to another speaker (or sent to a mixing console), or simply the primary input for traditional "daisy-chaining."
The EON515 is a 15-inch 2-way loudspeaker system offering a total of 450/900 watts (continuous/burst) power. All power in the EON515 is derived from latest Crown® Class–D technology; it's highly efficient, compact and incredibly lightweight—less than 33 pounds (15 kilograms). The EON515 offers a 15-inch Differential Drive® woofer, a compact high-performance compression driver with a 1-inch exit and neodymium motor on a 100° x 60° wave guide.
The ultra-compact EON510 10-inch 2-way loudspeaker system offers a total of 280/560 watts (continuous/burst) power, weighing only 17 pounds (7.7 kilograms). The EON510 offers a 10-inch Differential Drive woofer, a compact high-performance compression driver with a 1-inch exit and neodymium motor on a 100- x 60-degree wave guide.
The EON518S subwoofer features a single 18-inch Differential Drive woofer in a vented enclosure, powered by a 500/1000 watts (continuous/burst) amplifier. It features a pole mount cup for sub/satellite applications, level control, dual inputs, a stereo crossover network, peak limiter and polarity reverse switch. It also has a speaker level input increasing connectivity, flexibility and system configuration options.
The EON300 series puts the next generation of EON systems within reach of an even broader range of users, delivering the same fundamental design features, sonic performance and integrated utility as the EON500 series, at an even more affordable price.
Each of the EON300 series 2-way loudspeakers offers a high performance-to-price ratio, with a very simple user interface, along with multiple handles and suspension utility. The EON315 15-inch two-way loudspeaker system offers a total of 280/560 watts (continuous/burst) power and weighs a slight 35 pounds (15.9 kilograms). The EON315 features a 15-inch JBL woofer and a 1- inch exit compression driver with a neodymium motor on a 100 x 60- degree wave guide. The input is mic-line switchable and offers connectivity flexibility in the form of a balanced XLR/quarter-inch combo connector. The EON315 also features one XLR output to facilitate signal loop through.
The EON305 is a 15-inch passive two-way loudspeaker featuring 250/500/1000 watts (continuous/program/peak) power handling. It offers a 15-inch JBL woofer and a 1-inch exit compression driver with a neodymium motor on a 100 x 60 wave guide. The inputs include two Speakon®/quarter-inch combo jacks linked in parallel. The EON305 is the perfect powered-mixer match, delivering all the fundamental EON attributes to a pre-existing system.
"Once described as 'the ultimate workhorse, utility loudspeaker,' the success of the EON line is based on its broad appeal, ranging from simple PA applications to professional sound reinforcement, making it extremely useful for DJs, musicians, major rental companies, schools, churches and institutions alike," Jones added. "As with the existing EON lineup, utility will continue to drive the success of the new EON models, which truly represent the next generation in portable loudspeakers."

Century-old hydropower plant to run on fudge
Old Greek wisdom powers Yorkshire dales
Proof, if it were needed, that technical illiteracy is now well and truly out of control in the UK has been furnished in the last 24 hours by a rash of news reports on a small hydroelectric power plant. The Linton Falls generating station, built on the River Wharfe in the Yorkshire Dales in 1909 but out of action since 1948, is to return to service.
The Linton Falls project is being run by English Heritage and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority. It will be fitted with Archimedes screws, designed by the famous ancient sage for lifting water but in this case to be used to generate electricity from the fluid's fall.
"Climate change is a major challenge for everyone and that includes the heritage sector. We need to relearn the old wisdom of self-sufficiency and sustainability," said Maddy Jago, Chair of the Yorkshire and Humber Historic Environment Forum. The Linton Falls station was put out of business by the nasty old National Grid, but now it will go back into action.
This, the Guardian tells us not once but twice, will provide "enough power for 100 local homes". The Daily Mail falls into the same trap. But the hard reality is that the twin screws will produce just 510,000 kilowatt-hours of energy each year.
An average UK home actually uses 22,795 kilowatt-hours of energy annually as of 2001 - probably a bit more by now, but no matter. So in fact the Linton Falls project will produce enough power for about 20 homes. Even in the Yorkshire Dales, that's not a lot of homes.
As usual, the standard renewables fudge has been employed - pretending that our homes only consume energy in the form of electricity. In fact, we only use electrical energy when we have to, because it costs more per kilowatt-hour ("unit") than fossil fuel does, owing to the inefficiencies of electric generating stations.
Mainly, for our big energy-hungry tasks - heating, hot water, a lot of our cooking - we use gas or oil. That's how we consume energy at home in this country.
So, if we want to seriously cut our carbon emissions or avoid future dependence on possibly untrustworthy overseas fossil suppliers in future, we need to tackle this. But, while we're all very willing to fool about turning the TV off standby (saving a single measly kilowatt-hour over the course of six weeks or so) most of us think that clean clothes, washed dishes, decent personal hygiene, cooked food and warm houses are things we should be allowed.
If we aren't going to burn gas for these things, we will have to do most of them with electricity. People are also expecting to electrify as much road transport as possible, or generate clean road fuel using electricity.
That's going to be an awful lot of 'leccy. If we're all going to keep on living as comfortably and healthily as we do now, it's going to need to be cheap, too - certainly no more expensive that it is now, and ideally cheaper as we're used to buying much of our energy in the form of cheap gas.
But maybe the Linton Falls Archimedes screws are a cheap way to make 'leccy?
Perhaps they are; but it would be very unusual for a project of this sort to be able to beat bigger facilities with proper modern equipment and economies of scale. We can't say for sure, though, as the quangocrats in charge haven't released any cost figures. ®

England's Frank Lampard quits internationals
England's Frank Lampard has retired from international football after winning 106 caps. The midfielder scored 29 goals for his country and captained the team in their last group match against Costa Rica at this year's World Cup in Brazil.sports Updated: Aug 26, 2014 22:37 IST
England midfielder Frank Lampard has retired from international football after winning 106 caps.
The 36-year-old was released by Chelsea in May after 13 years at the London club and he signed for New York City before agreeing to move to Manchester City on a six-month loan deal.
Lampard scored 29 goals for England and captained the team in their last group match against Costa Rica at this year's World Cup in Brazil.
"I have taken the decision to retire from international football," he said in a statement on Tuesday.
"It has been a very tough decision for me to make which is why I have given it so much thought since the World Cup. I have always been exceptionally proud and honoured to represent my country and have to say looking back I have enjoyed every minute of wearing the England shirt."
Lampard said it was time put his family first given that he was soon to be playing in the United States.
"Also, to concentrate on how I can perform consistently to the best of my abilities over my next few years in club football," he added.
"It is now the time to move forward and I feel very confident that with Roy Hodgson in charge, the young players that we have coming through, and the changes that are being made throughout the development of the youth system in this country, that we will have success in the future and a team that this country deserves."
England captain Steven Gerrard ended his long international career last month.
Lampard made his international debut against Belgium in 1999, going on to play at three World Cups and two European Championships.
He make headlines at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when he had a goal wrongly disallowed in a second-round clash with Germany, a match England went on to lose 4-1.
Hodgson paid tribute to Lampard, telling the Football Association website that he was a superb representative both on and off the pitch.
"To reach in excess of 100 international caps is something very few professionals achieve and he is in exalted company," Hodgson said.
"He has served the national team quite brilliantly during his 15-year international career."
Hodgson had spoken with Lampard about his intentions after he joined City, adding that he would not try and change his mind.
"It is with regret that I accept and understand the decision he's made.
"I wish him the best of luck with Manchester City and New York City and I'd like to thank him for all the help he's provided for me during my time as England manager."

The Piscataway Indian Tribe made this section of Southern Maryland its winter camping ground because of the mild climate and abundance of game.

The swamp extends Southward through Charles County for 20 miles, emptying into the Wicomico River. The Swamp is one mile wide, and serves as a haven for wildlife. The surrounding land is mostly agricultural fields. In colonial times and there after efforts were made to drain the swamp for cultivation. Drainage ditches are still evident. To this day, the swamp remains wooded bottom land.
In 1930, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Forest, Park and Wildlife Service purchased 2,631 acres of land for a forest demonstration area. Later 879 more acres were added to bring the total to 3,510 acres. Cedarville was the postal address for the area, hence the name given to the State Forest. In 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps, under the direction of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, developed roads and trails for fire protection and future access for the development of the area.
Honor system, chargeable at all times.
Hiking, Biking and Equestrian Trails--There are 19.5 miles of marked trails. The trails wind past the loblolly pine plantations planted by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's, by a charcoal kiln, and through farm areas where springs and streams were used to make "moonshine." Trails may be wet at times. For safety, visitors using trails located in designated hunting areas should wear bright orange during the hunting season. Equestrians share the trails with hikers and mountain bikers. The Maryland Park Service does not rent horses, and only provides the trails as a means of recreation.
Beginning Sunday, July 29th a section of the White Trail will be closed until further notice. Forest management and tree harvesting will be in progress.
Equestrian Camping--Campsites are primitive and a bathhouse is located in the center of the equestrian/special events camping loop. Equestrian Camping is $23 per night per campsite. Please call Cedarville at 301-888-1410 to reserve a campsite during the camping season (April through October).
Firewood for camping must be purchased onsite. Please do not bring firewood in to the State Forest. The Emerald Ash Borer has been confirmed in Southern & Central Maryland. Read the order for further details on the quarantine. Please help us keep our Ash trees safe.

Ribbon Cut on New High Definition Broadcasting Studios at Western
January 22, 2014
MACOMB, IL – Current Western Illinois University broadcasting students joined with alumni from the school's program Wednesday, Jan. 22 to officially open a new high definition (HD) studio in Sallee Hall.
The WIU Department of Broadcasting in the College of Fine Arts and Communication (COFAC) recently completed a $100,000 HD upgrade on the department's broadcasting studio and control room. Both facilities are on the third floor of Sallee Hall.
Students currently enrolled in the broadcasting program demonstrated a 10-minute newscast live from the studio for the crowd of students, alumni and WIU faculty, staff and administrators.
"This is a huge investment in the growth of this program," said broadcasting Chair William "Buzz" Hoon. "We also sent out emails to the future students who are applying now for this program because they are the ones who are going to benefit most from this upgrade."
COFAC Associate Dean Sharon Evans gave a history of the department, including its move from Memorial Hall to Sallee Hall.
"I look around and I see a mix of alumni and current students, and I'm just so proud of the success of this department," Evans said.
For the ceremonial ribbon cutting, program and University administrators cut a piece of audiotape that was used as part of a previous broadcasting setup.
The upgraded equipment in the broadcasting department's television studio and control room will benefit all broadcasting students at WIU, including the student-run TV newscast "News3 Live at 4" and sports programming shows, "Pigskin Preview" and "Inside Leatherneck Athletics." The new equipment will allow the development of more student-run television shows through the department, and a morning talk show.
For more information about the department, visit wiu.edu/broadcasting.

Canucks say Bertuzzi deal with Moore reached
The Vancouver Canucks say a deal has been reached in a lawsuit filed by Steve Moore against the NHL club and Todd Bertuzzi.
"Canucks Sports & Entertainment confirms that a mutually agreeable and confidential settlement of the action commenced by Steve Moore against Todd Bertuzzi and the Vancouver Canucks has been reached," the team said Wednesday. "The settlement is a result of mediation sessions with former Ontario Chief Justice Warren Winkler. No further details will be disclosed and the Canucks respectfully decline requests for comment."
Earlier in the day, Moore's brother, Mark, claimed the former Colorado Avalanche centre denied a settlement had been reached despite claims to the contrary by the NHL and Bertuzzi's lawyers.
"I got a text message from Steve last night and he's very concerned," Mark told TSN. "He says there is no deal yet and isn't sure what to do about all the media speculation.
"Because of the injury he has trouble making decisions and so he doesn't know how to handle the media."
On Tuesday, Bertuzzi's lawyer, Geoff Adair, told ESPN that a "firm and binding settlement" had been reached in the lawsuit surrounding the former Canucks forward's attack against Steve during a game in 2004.
But Mark said his mother and Steve's legal team believe Bertuzzi's side is trying to put pressure on them.
"Bertuzzi is a free agent and he wants to sign a contract," Mark told TSN. He also noted the Canucks have yet to make a statement about the case.
After reports of a settlement surfaced Tuesday, the NHL released a statement saying it's pleased both sides had resolved the matter. The league, however, is not involved in the lawsuit.
Moore was reportedly seeking $68 million in damages from the incident, which ended his NHL career. He suffered three broken vertebrae and a concussion after Bertuzzi punched him from behind.
The case was set to begin Sept. 8.

One in five families with children in Minnesota faces hunger or food insecurity.
One in five families with children in Minnesota faces hunger or food insecurity. This means that children do not always receive three meals a day or sometimes skip meals. Much of this happens on the weekends and during summer vacation when there is no access to free or reduced school meals.
Hunger Solutions Minnesota (HSM) has partnered with Minnesota Department of Human Services to help bridge the food access gap with a new Summer Backpack Program grant. The $101,000 in grant funds was awarded to HSM. HSM has allocated the funds to four greater Minnesota food banks to provide additional food to at risk-children for 12 weeks this summer.
Colleen Moriarty, Executive Director of Hunger Solutions Minnesota said, "We are thrilled to offer this generous grant opportunity to our statewide food bank partners. The constant demand for more emergency food is a major strain on our local response to hunger. These funds were granted to assist Minnesota at a time when the need to help feed our children is the greatest."
Over 2,500 children in Becker County, Bemidji, Brainerd, Cass Lake, Crosby, Detroit Lakes, Duluth, Itasca, Koochiching County, Longville, Perham, Rochester, St. Charles, and Waseca will receive weekly bags of highly nutritious, but easy to prepare foods like milk, oatmeal, and nuts. The food banks are working with local community programs such as food shelves and Boys and Girls Clubs to reach low-income families with the much needed nutrition.
During summer vacation, about 36,000 children a week in Minnesota eat lunch via the federally funded Summer Food Service Program. That represents only 14 out of every 100 eligible children. There are barriers to food access for low-income children in greater Minnesota. One of the main barriers is transportation, especially in counties with small populations spread out across large distances.
Grass roots organizations like food shelves have a unique ability to address the food needs of children in our communities. Each summer, Minnesota food shelves help families fill this nutritional gap, but this is during the season when donations are at their lowest so access to this additional food is important.
The Summer Backpack Program funding is a one-time grant made possible by the Minnesota Department of Human Services. The department received a $2.1 million bonus from the USDA for increasing the state's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program access for eligible residents. The state's portion accounts for 25 percent of the $1.2 million bonus; it will go toward putting healthy food on the table for low-income Minnesotans. The remaining 75 percent of the funding went to counties for their work with SNAP recipients.
"One of the most important things we can do to encourage the strong and healthy development of our children is to ensure they have enough nutritious food," said Commissioner Lucinda Jesson. "These bonus dollars will help more kids have the right fuel to learn, exercise and explore."

WORCESTER — Some 500 trees lining a section of the Green Hill Golf Course are slated for removal as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's efforts to eradicate the Asian longhorned beetle.
Clint McFarland, program director for the USDA's fight against the beetle here, characterized the work that will be done along Green Hill Avenue and up Colby Avenue to the corner of Trinity Avenue as a "high-risk host removal," meaning the trees are very susceptible to infestation. He said 11 of the largest infested trees along the stretch were already removed earlier this year, and said the push to remove the vulnerable trees nearby comes after a pocket of trees was removed between nearby Marsh Avenue and Andrews Avenue, also earlier this year.
Mr. McFarland said his office has been in constant communication with the city government about the plans to remove the trees, and said the city signed off on the removals Monday. He said he estimated the removals will start in late July and go into early August.
He said the trees slated for removal total around three acres and 5,000 "diameter at breast height" inches. He said the largest infested trees already removed in the area averaged 30 to 40 inches in diameter; the remainder of the trees that will be removed average 10 inches in diameter or less.
"It's small or intermediary material," Mr. McFarland said.
Still, cutting down 500 trees along that stretch will remove a vegetative barrier between the golf course and the neighborhood, and Mr. McFarland said the decision to remove a large number of trees is never taken lightly.
He said many of the trees slated to be removed along Green Hill Avenue and Colby Avenue are still broken up from the 2008 ice storm. When climbers can't get high into the trees for a full inspection, the recommendation is typically for the high-risk host removal. Most of the trees are Norway maples, he said.
The beetle was discovered in the area in 2008 in Greendale; since then, a regulated area has been set up that includes the entire city and several surrounding towns. The Asian longhorned beetle, believed to have arrived from China in shipping crates, bores holes into the trees and eventually kills them. It has a particular appetite for maples.
Thousands of trees have been removed as part of the USDA's efforts to prevent the beetle's spread across the hardwood forests of the Northeast, but Mr. McFarland said he believes progress is being made. He said only 232 infested trees have been removed this year.
In the meantime, surveying continues inside and outside the regulated area, Mr. McFarland said. One thousand traps have been set throughout Worcester County, and Mr. McFarland said contractors and USDA staff have surveyed in Sterling, Northboro and Millbury without finding any signs of the beetle.
He said that even without major infestations making headlines, residents have been diligent about spotting the beetle and understanding about tree removal. He said this year alone his office has received thousands of phone calls from people on the lookout for the beetle. A lot of those calls are from people who mistake other bugs for the Asian longhorned beetle, but Mr. McFarland said he appreciates that people take the time to report what they're seeing. It shows they're engaged, he said. And he noted that the removals between Marsh and Andrews earlier this year involved obtaining written consent from 17 of 20 residents who were affected.
"People have been terrific up there," Mr. McFarland said.
Paul J. Moosey, commissioner of Public Works and Parks, and Robert Antonelli, assistant commissioner of public works and parks, could not be immediately reached for comment late Monday afternoon.

Oilers sign Linus Omark to 2-year, 2-way Deal, Chris Vande Velde also signs
From TSN.ca:
It is reportedly a two-way deal worth $800,000 if Omark sticks with the Oilers. The deal also included an $80,000 signing bonus.
The 23-year old Omark was selected in the fourth round, 97th overall, by the Oilers in the 2007 NHL Entry draft. He has spent the past season with Moscow Dynamo of the KHL, scoring 20 goals and adding 16 assists in 56 games. The Oilers remained busy on Monday as they also signed NCAA prospect Chris Vande Velde.
The 23-year old Vande Velde will report to the Oilers' AHL affiliate in Springfield this weekend. The University of North Dakota product was chosen in the fourth round, 97th overall by the Oilers in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. In 43 games for the Fighting Sioux this season, the Moorhead, Minnesota native had 18 goals and 17 assists.
Good to hear that he signed a 2-way deal for Omark!
UPDATE: Added the Vande Velde signing.

Krejci 'tricks' Toronto, Bruins one win from advancingBy The Sports Exchange
May 08. 2013 11:31PM
TORONTO - David Krejci scored his third goal of the game at 13:04 in overtime to give the Boston Bruins a 4-3 victory and a 3-1 advantage in their best-of-seven first-round playoff series with the Toronto Maple Leafs Wednesday at Air Canada Centre.
Zdeno Chara had four assists for the Bruins.
Game 5 will be played on Friday at Boston.
The Bruins overcame a 2-0 first-period disadvantage to take a 3-2 lead in the second period on Krejci's second goal of the game. But Clarke MacArthur soon tied it at and the game went into overtime after a goalless third period.
The winning goal came after a wide-open overtime in which the Maple Leafs had their chances.
Patrice Bergeron also scored for the Bruins. Joffrey Lupul and Cody Franson also scored for Toronto.
During regulation time, Maple Leafs goaltender James Reimer stopped 33 of 36 shots. Tuukka Rask stopped 34 of 37 shots in the Boston goal during regulation.
Overall, the Maple Leafs outshot the Bruins 48-45.
The Maple Leafs started well and scored at 2:35 of the first period on a 27-foot wrist shot by Lupul, his third goal of the series, after Phil Kessel whirled behind the goal and put a pass in front from the corner.
Boston had the game's first power-play situation when Dion Phaneuf was called for tripping at 12:43 but could not take advantage. The Leafs took a 2-0 lead with an even-handed goal at 18:32 on 61-foot wrist shot from the right point by Franson, his first of the series.
The Bruins ended the first period with a man advantage after Leo Komarov was sent off for charging at 19:10.
The Bruins took advantage with a power-play goal by Bergeron at 32 seconds of the second period, a 17-foot snap shot to cut the lead to 2-1. Bergeron's first goal of the series followed Reimer's save on a 65-foot slap shot by Chara. Milan Lucic picked up an assist, giving him at least one point in all four games.
The goal put the Maple Leafs on the offensive and they hemmed in the Bruins in their own end for long stretches. But the Leafs' first power play of the game came up empty after Gregory Campbell was sent off for hooking former UNH star James van Riemsdyk at 8:57.
The Bruins came back to tie the game 2-2 at 12:59 when Krejci scored on a 32-foot wrist shot.
With Colton Orr off for elbowing Chara, Krejci scored again at 16:39 on the power play, snapping home a 41-footer for his fourth goal of the series.
But the Leafs responded at 17:23 with a goal by MacArthur, his first of the playoffs. He snapped home a puck that sat invitingly 30 feet away and directly in front of the Boston goal.
Penalties to Krejci for roughing at 18:12 and Campbell for slashing at 19:19 gave the Leafs a two-man advantage to end the second period and to start the third.
Boston withstood that and had their own power play early in the third when Nazem Kadri picked up a double minor for high-sticking at 58 seconds. The Leafs were able to kill off the penalties.
The Leafs went on the power play at 13:27 when Chara went off for high-sticking but with no result.
Reimer's faulty clearing with slightly more than a minute to play in regulation nearly presented the Bruins with a goal but the Leafs survived.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A Jerusalem court on Thursday heard charges against five Arab residents of the holy city who were accused of planning to attack Jewish worshipers at the Temple Mount and Western Wall.
The five men, all aged between 20 and 25, had contacted terrorist organizations in Judea, Samaria and Gaza in order to buy weapons and explosives and obtain arms training.
The gang also planned to kidnap a Jewish settler and murder the victim with his or her own weapon, according to the charges. In fact, the five did pick up a Jewish hitchhiker north of Jerusalem recently, but released him after learning the man was unarmed.
Israeli news footage and pictures in local newspapers showed the five would-be terrorists smiling, laughing and joking with one another as they were led into court.
As holders of Israeli identification, the five also face charges of assisting an enemy in a time of war for their attempted cooperation with terror groups operating out of Palestinian Authority-controlled territories.

|MSI Z77A-GD65 LGA1155 Motherboard
|Reviews - Featured Reviews: Motherboards
|Written by David Ramsey

Page 1 of 18
MSI Z77A-GD65 LGA1155 Motherboard Review
Manufacturer: Micro-Star International (MSI)
Full Disclosure: The product sample used in this article has been provided by MSI.
It's getting hard to keep track of all the Intel chipsets out there, and Intel adds another 10 new chipsets to accompany Ivy Bridge: HM77, UM77, HM76, and HM75 comprise the mobile chipset line, while the Z77, Z75, H77, Q77, Q75, and B75 fill out the desktop line. As you might expect from the model number, the MSI Z77A-GD65 uses the Z77 chipset. While the main reason for the existence of the Z77 Express is the forthcoming "3rd Generation Intel Core Processor" (whose name we are prohibited from mentioning in this article), existing Z68 motherboards will also support this new CPU family with a simple BIOS update, which many manufacturers have already made available.
Since there are some very nice Z68 motherboards out there, and they'll run your spiffy new "3rd Generation Intel Core Processor", what does the Z77 chipset have that the Z68 doesn't? Let's take a look in the next section.
I try OC but when Windows starts up, my computer just stops in the loading Screen for windows....
Same if i use OC-genie
And sometimes it appear a2 in right bottom corner on the screen (rest is black)
My computer specs:
I7-3770K Intel prosessor
MSI z77a-gd65 motherboard
H100 cpu cooling (corsair)
12GB ram Dominator GT / ram fan (corsair)
MSI hd r6800 series HAWK
And i got a H2Go case from MountainMods.com
1. This is true of ANY Z67/Z68/Z77 motherboard except high-end boards with PLX chips. You've only got 16 PCI-E lanes from the CPU, so provisioning 2 x16 slots is impossible without extra hardware.
2. If you're using an Ivy Bridge chip, you've got PCI-E 3.0 lanes with twice the bandwidth as PCI-E 2.0 lanes, so those two x8 slots are the equivalent of two x16 slots if you're using a PCI-E 3.0 compliant graphics card.
3. But even if you're running Sandy Bridge CPU and older graphics cards, guess what? Nothing out there saturates 8 PCI-E lanes anyway, so games won't play one FPS slower on a 2x8 SLI or Crossfire system than they would on a 2x16 system.
But if you want to spend extra money, yes, there are many LGA1155 motherboard that can supply 2x16: ASUS Maximum V Extreme, ASUS P8Z77-WS, ASUS P8Z77-V Premium; EVGA Z77 FTW. MSI doesn't seem to have any boards like this, but again, unless you're running triple or quad cards, you don't really need a board with a PLX chip.
