Plastic knights without fear and reproach

Plastic knights without fear and reproach.

... Release of which, we recall, took place in September 2008 on the PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PS2, PSP, DS and PC. Developer - TT Games. Surprisingly, since the project is almost as popular. For example, this week the British edition of the game has exceeded a million copies.

As the publishers, the implementation continues to grow, in the same week the UK project is among the ten best-selling. Speaking of platforms, only one Xbox 360 to date sold 2.2 million copies. Total sales on PS2 and PS3 is about 1.5 million, DS-production - 1.37 million, and the Wii-version sold at 1.43 million boxes.

The game's plot, we recall, is based on the history of Batman. By LEGO Batman movies is not relevant, but some famous scene yet visible. With a partner, Robin, we confront the most famous bandits Gotham: Joker, Ridler, penguins ... But all of this information noise next to the main: the environment and the heroes are assembled from plastic bricks.

Murray advances after Nadal pulls out with knee injury

interchange — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 14:24:54 GMT

Defending champion Rafael Nadal retired from his quarterfinal against Andy Murray with an injured knee, then predicted the Scottish player would end his Grand Slam title drought by winning the Australian Open.

"For Andy, I think he deserves to win his first Grand Slam. And I think he's going to do it," Nadal said after a right knee injury forced him to concede Tuesday's quarterfinal while trailing 6-3, 7-6 (2), 3-0.

"There's a very good chance for him. First thing, he's playing very well," Nadal said. "Second thing, he's already in the semifinals. He's only two matches away."

Andy Roddick also went out of the Australian Open on Tuesday, struggling with a shoulder injury before going down in five sets to Marin Cilic.

Nadal said he didn't want to risk more damage by playing and potentially having to spend long periods off the tour with knee tendinitis.

"Similar thing that I had last year," Nadal said of the pain. "It was impossible to win the match."

Murray will play a semifinal against Cilic, who beat No. 7 Roddick 7-6 (4), 6-3, 3-6, 2-6, 6-3 earlier Tuesday. Nadal struggled with knee tendinitis and was unable to defend his Wimbledon title last season after beating Roger Federer in the Australian Open final. He received on-court treatment from a trainer for his knee after losing the second set.

Three games later, the Spaniard decided he couldn't keep playing.

"I didn't know when he hurt his knee, when he started feeling it, but from my side, I played very well," said Murray, who is hoping to end a seven-decade British drought at the majors. "I deserved to be up when the match stopped."

The 22-year-old Scot can hardly wait to play his semifinal against Cilic.

"I lost to him at the U.S. Open in straight sets, so I'm looking for a little revenge," Murray said. "If I play like I did tonight, I have got a good chance. Obviously, nerves are going to be there with an opportunity to make a final of a Slam."

Murray's only Grand Slam final appearance ended in a loss to Federer at the 2008 U.S. Open.

Roddick struggled through a right shoulder injury that impaired his movement, but he expects no long-term damage.

Still in the equation at Melbourne Park is three-time champion Federer, who plays Nikolay Davydenko in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. Novak Djokovic, the 2008 champion, takes on the same year's runner-up Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the other quarterfinal.

Roddick's only major has been the 2003 U.S. Open, the last time an American man has won a Grand Slam singles title, marking the country's longest drought in men's majors.

Despite playing strongly in the third and fourth sets to level the match, Roddick fell apart in the final set, allowing No. 14 Cilic to break twice and send the last American man out of the singles draw at Melbourne Park.

Roddick said he didn't practice Monday after feeling a twinge in his shoulder during Sunday's fourth-round win over Fernando Gonzalez.

"The trainer said it was stemming from the neck down," Roddick said. "By the end of the first set, I was pretty numb in the bottom two fingers. I could still hit it pretty hard; I was just having trouble controlling it."

Seven-time Grand Slam singles winner Justine Henin hasn't won a major in two years — because she hasn't played in one. Henin, who returned from 20 months in retirement, advanced by beating Nadia Petrova 7-6 (3), 7-5 to take out the last seeded player in her half of the draw.

Henin, unranked and playing on a wild-card entry at Melbourne Park, will face Wimbledon semifinalist Zheng Jie, who beat Russia's Maria Kirilenko 6-1, 6-3 to equal her Chinese record for the best run at a major.

"I just went for it with my heart. Finally I could make it, and I'm very happy," Henin said. "At the end I played much more aggressive tennis."

Henin ended a highly successful run in Melbourne for Petrova, who ousted two reigning major champions: U.S. Open champion Kim Clijsters in the third round; and French Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova in the fourth.

Kirilenko had taken out big names in her section, too, starting with 2008 champion Maria Sharapova in her first round and her fourth-round victory against last year's finalist Dinara Safina, who retired with a back problem.

Henin retired in May 2008 while holding the No. 1 ranking and had not played at a major since losing in the quarterfinals to Sharapova here that season. Henin won the 2004 Australian title and reached the final in 2006.

The loss to Sharapova confirmed to Henin that she needed a break. Now she's feeling as good as ever.

Roddick, who took two months off at the end of last year because of a knee injury, was also positive after his loss.

"All signs at this point are good," Roddick said. "Whether it was a nerve that was compressed or something, I don't know, cutting off something. But they don't think it's going to be anything too serious long-term. I'm sure we'll take the proper precautions and check it out."

Ida Mae Selenkow

interchange — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 04:37:08 GMT

Ida Mae Selenkow, a well-known wrestling star of the 1950s who later became a registered nurse and in recent years was known as the "yodeling Grandma from Baltimore," died Tuesday of complications from a stroke at Gilchrist Hospice Care.

The longtime Pikesville resident was 78.

Ida Marilyn St. Laurent was born in New London, Conn., and raised in North Stonington, Conn., where she lived with relatives after her mother abandoned her. She never knew her father.

"Her mother hung out in bars, dating sailors, and abandoned her to her aunt's care after the first few months," wrote Wally Shugg, a retired University of Maryland, Baltimore County English professor, author and longtime friend.

"Yet being raised in her aunt's household brought emotional and physical hardships and - at age seven - sexual abuse," Mr. Shugg wrote in an unpublished profile.

"Instinctively, she fought back against the boys and girls on the streets and in her neighborhood. The strenuous life came naturally to her and continued into high school, where she went in for acrobatics."

She attended Norwich Free Academy until dropping out at 17, when she married. Mrs. Selenkow and her then-husband bought a $4.99 suitcase and two one-way bus tickets, which took them from New England to Houston.

With her troubled marriage dissolving, Mrs. Selenkow took a job as a waitress in a small cafe.

Her wrestling career began in 1948, when a customer, who was a wrestler, asked her if she wanted to wrestle. She said yes.

"I don't know why," Mrs. Selenkow wrote in an autobiographical sketch on the G.L.O.R.Y. Wrestling! Web site. "I didn't realize it, but I had always been wrestling with life, the guys at school or anybody who wanted to fight."

Mrs. Selenkow, who stood 5 feet 2 and weighed 117 pounds, auditioned for fight promoter Billy Wolfe.

When he asked what she could do, Mrs. Selenkow performed a few handsprings forward and backward, and then, lying flat on her back, sprang to a standing position in one deft movement.

She was hired for $50 a week and trained by Mr. Wolfe, who showed her how to roll with a forearm smash, escape a scissor hold, and let her shoulders - and not her head - absorb a fall or body slam.

Mrs. Selenkow, who wrestled under the name Ida Mae Martinez, was known not only for her devastating dropkicks, but also for her ring outfits - full bathing suits with reinforced rubber around the neck and thighs, and Spanish-style robes decorated with white ruffles and fringe.

Her red-white-and-blue wrestling boots, which are now permanently on display in the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame in Schenectady, N.Y., were emblazoned with "IDA."

In 1951, she began a decade-long struggle "against unscrupulous promoters, agents and discrimination," Mr. Shugg wrote.

Mrs. Selenkow crisscrossed the United States in her Mercury automobile, often driving more than 80,000 miles a year between engagements, which included stops at the old Coliseum on Monroe Street.

In 1952, she was named Mexican champion, and five years later challenged Slave Girl Moolah for the world wrestling championship at the Coliseum.

Mrs. Selenkow proved to be a formidable opponent, The Baltimore Sun reported. "It took an all-out effort to defeat the stubborn challenger," the newspaper reported. "Slave Girl needed almost ten minutes to defeat Miss Martinez."

Mr. Shugg wrote that the sport took its toll before she retired from the ring in 1960 to marry a Baltimore businessman, Herbert Selenkow. They later divorced.
