Supreme Surprise (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The SCOTUS has caused quite a din
Over gay marriage rights. Is it sin
Or just fine for the states
To say gays can be mates?
Its response is "We shouldn't mix in."

I just love Jeff Greenfield's take on the "Baby Clinton Madness." I'm referring, of course, to all the nonsensical opinionating about its effect (or non-effect) on Hillary Clinton's presumed presidential candidacy.
Infantile Pundits Give Birth To More Wind (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
OMG! Chelsea Clinton's with child!
Watch political gas-bags go wild,
As they mindlessly mine
Its effects and opine.
Yes, those pundits are rightly reviled.
How NOT To Woo Women Voters (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
We women are "whiners," they bray.
We "lie" that there's "no equal pay."
That's the GOP line,
And it suits me just fine:
On Election Day, gals get their say.
Purported feminist Sheryl Sandberg was apparently so traumatized by being called "bossy" as a girl, that she wants that epithet banned. She claims it impedes the will to become a leader.
So publicity hound "feminist" advocate Sandberg, having moved on from her "lean in" tripe, "is launching a public service campaign aimed at getting rid of the word 'bossy.'" Hey, priorities are priorities.
Here's Facebook COO Sandberg discussing her project to outlaw what she calls "the other B-word:"
This is a very negative experience for girls, if you look at my childhood, if you look at the childhood of most of the leaders we talked to, they lived through being told they were bossy," Sandberg said. "And it has such a strongly female, and such a strongly negative connotation, that we thought the best way to raise awareness was to say, "This isn't a word we should use. Let's start encouraging girls to lead."
Now, that's some fascinating logic: Female leaders were so traumatized by being called "bossy" when they were young, that they were discouraged from leading. And so they became … leaders?!?
Hmmmm… Instead of banning the word "bossy" as applied to girls, perhaps we should make it compulsory.
Limerick Ode To Bossy Sheryl Sandberg
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Sheryl Sandberg has made a demand
That the adjective "bossy" be banned.
Here's the thrust of her screed:
Girls called "bossy" won't lead.
Ain't simplistic analysis grand?
According to a Politico story, Republicans pols and staffers are being given remedial sensitivity training to avoid further Todd Akin-style gaffes and to contend with the party's gender gap.
Those Sensitive Republicans
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Republicans, fearful of gaffes,
Are coaching both Congress and staffs
How to talk to a dame.
(Non-offense is their aim.)
How 'bout policy change, just for laughs?
Will Femia, over at MaddowBlog, has challenged us to a "good old-fashioned marriage equality limericking bee." Here's my contribution:
Limerick Ode To Same Sex Marriage
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Same sex couples are quick to endorse
The spread of gay marriage, of course.
But the happiest folks
Are THESE women and blokes:
Hungry lawyers who handle divorce.
Ohio State Sen. Nina Turner's proposed bill regulating men's reproductive health inspired this multi-verse limerick:
A Modest Men's Reproductive Health Reg Proposal (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Dear Republican men who insist
On controlling gals' bodies, we're pissed.
Since what's good for the goose
(It's plain to deduce)
Suits the gander, I've drawn up this list:
Viagra henceforth is restricted
To those who can prove they're afflicted
Via sex partner swearing
You're impotent, sharing
Your plight through oath uncontradicted.
You must also sex therapy seek
To help you reach sexual peak.
And we'll force you to take
A stress test, you rake,
And prove that your heart isn't weak.
In addition, your doc must advise you
About celibacy and apprise you
It's a "viable choice."
Yes your doc must give voice
To your options, cuz some may surprise you.
Only then, will the state let your doc
Prescribe any meds for your cock.
After counsel advising
Of side effects rising
From ED pills — nothing to mock.
From then on, you'll be monitored too
To make sure that your heart ain't askew.
You'll be checked and re-tested.
The state is invested
In protecting you guys when you screw.
If you think that such regs are intrusive,
Insulting, and even abusive,
All these rules don't compare
To what women must bear:
Female freedom is gravely elusive.
Most experts seem to think the U.S. Supreme Court will strike down DOMA, thereby ending the federal ban on benefits to gay spouses. The question is: Will they do it based upon equal protection, or states' rights? The former (seemingly supported by the four liberal Supremes) is vastly preferable, but the later appears more likely; the perennial swing judge, Justice Anthony Kennedy, is more of a states' rights kinda guy.
Limerick Ode To DOMA's Demise
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I'm GLAD to hear DOMA's in trouble.
But will Justices safe in their bubble
Concede that it's wrong,
Beat the gong, say so long
To treating gay couples like rubble?
I've been trying to ignore the whole Hilary Rosen controversy. The one where Republicans use a stupid remark made by a CNN contributor to get everyone to stop talking about the Republican war on women.
Somehow, one person's foolish remark is supposed to mean that President Obama and his fellow Dems diss stay-at-home moms:
The presidential campaign was consumed this week by controversy over Ann Romney and stay-at-home moms. Republicans seized on a stray comment by CNN contributor Hilary Rosen, who said Ann Romney had "never worked a day in her life." Romney responded to the Rosen comments in a speech to the National Rifle Association on Friday, saying, "I happen to believe that all moms are working moms."
But earlier this year, Romney said this on the topic of welfare:
"I wanted to increase the work requirement," Romney said. "I said, for instance, that even if you have a child two years of age, you need to go to work. And people said, 'Well that's heartless,' and I said 'No, no, I'm willing to spend more giving daycare to allow those parents to go back to work. It'll cost the state more providing that daycare, but I want the individuals to have the dignity of work.'" (emphasis added)
So apparently, raising children is dignified work only when done by wealthy gals like Ann Romney.
Mommy Madness (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Mitt Romney and Ann like to bitch
That the Dems have thrown moms down the ditch.
Yet Romney's the jerk
Who said child care ain't work,
Unless done by a mommy who's rich.
Karen Handel has resigned from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast-cancer charity. And Handel, a major architect of Komen's stop-funding-Planned-Parenthood PR disaster, didn't go sotto voce:
Karen Handel's Dissonant Departure From Komen (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Sweet music — Ms. Handel's resigned,
While wailing that SHE's been maligned:
Blaming HER's prejudicial,
The ousted official
Complained, leaving bedlam behind.
I never thought I'd say this, but spam can be enlightening.
I'm referring to a recent spam flurry promoting home abortion kits. And we have Republicans to thank for this disturbing trend. After all, newly empowered Republicans have been targeting abortion rights in a big way. And at the state level they've been very successful at severely limiting women's reproductive rights.
Who knew that when Republicans claimed to be pro-small business, they were talking about abortion kit scam artists?
That brings me to my latest limerick:
This Spam's An Abortion
By Madeleine Begun Kane
A new (to me) flavor of scam
Came by email for gals in a jam.
Yes, a legal cascade
Against Roe versus Wade
Has inspired abortion kit spam.
In case you've been wondering what Sharron Angle's been up to, I've got the answer: Senator Harry Reid's former Republican challenger is giving speeches about makeup.
Yes, it's hard to believe, but true. On January 21st, Angle spoke at a makeup convention in Las Vegas. Here's how SeneGence International's promotional material described Angle's talk:
Sharron will be sharing her beauty and makeup challenges during the campaign and how she overcame them! She had confidence that she would look great with 14 -16 hour days & with numerous appearances daily… so can you!
And that brings me to my latest limerick:
Sharron Angle — You Can't Make This Up
By Madeleine Begun Kane
I vowed that I never would mention
Sharon Angle again — gives me tension.
But I just can't resist
Her last gig which I missed:
A speech at a makeup convention.
When it comes to sexism posing as a compliment, I try to cut Harry Reid's generation some slack. But Senator Reid really ought to know better:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had an unusual form of praise for New York's junior senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, this morning at the fundraiser Mayor Bloomberg hosted for him at his townhouse – referring to her as "the hottest member" as she sat just a few feet away, according to three sources.
The comment prompted Gillibrand to turn red, according to the sources, and created a bit of stir among the small crowd there.
That leads me to my latest limerick:
Harry Reid's Not So Hot Remark
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Kirsten Gillibrand's hot says Sen. Reid —
The Sen's "hottest member," indeed.
Now I know Harry's old,
And I don't mean to scold,
But that "compliment's" sexist. Take heed.
Here's more on subtle sexism, including my Gender At Work essay. (Gender at Work, under the name My Most Attractive Adversary, is the lead Gender Gap chapter essay in a pair of college textbooks by Gary Goshgarian: The Contemporary Reader and Readings For Today.)
Have you heard about the Bible-based Christian S & M cult? Of course, CDD (Christian Domestic Discipline) doesn't consider itself an S & M cult, but it sure as hell sounds like one:
Just when I think I have seen it all, I stumble upon something called Christian Domestic Discipline (CDD) marriage, a rising trend in conservative Christian households. A CDD marriage, for the uninitiated, is "marriage is one in which one partner is given authority over the other, and has the means to back up that authority, usually by spanking." And, of course, that one partner with authority is always the man…
That brings me to my latest limerick:
Religion Hits Bottoms
By Madeleine Begun Kane
CDD is an odd Christian fad
For punishing wives when they're "bad."
Is it weird? Just a smidgeon.
They call this religion:
Spousal ass spanking. Gals, you've been had.

Thirty Senate Republicans voted to keep rape victims who work for defense contractors from having their day in court. How? By voting against an Al Franken-proposed amendment to the 2010 Defense Appropriations Bill that would withhold defense contracts from companies (like Dick Cheney's KBR) "if they restrict their employees from taking workplace sexual assault, battery and discrimination cases to court."
Franken was inspired to sponsor this amendment by the ordeal of Jamie Leigh Jones, who was gang-raped by her co-workers while working for Halliburton/KBR in Baghdad. A clause in Jones' KBR employment contract made employer-friendly private arbitration her only recourse, precluding Jones from seeking justice in court.
I hope all those pro-rape Republicans (listed below my limerick) are proud of themselves:
Ode To Pro-Rape Republicans (Limerick)
By Madeleine Begun Kane
Though Republicans yearn for support
From females, they're bound to fall short:
Their position on rape
Is in criminal shape
Cuz they treat it like less than a tort.

I'm inclined to say that she should maximise grass points available, and perhaps enter Eastbourne too. She'll probably get injured though. Playing 3 tournaments on the spin is too much for any athlete

Wilfried Sauerland has praised Nikolai Valuev´s shape ahead of his WBA eliminator against Sergey Liakhovich on Saturday night. The German manager has no doubts the Russian Giant will celebrate his 48th victory and win a rematch with Ruslan Chagaev. Both Valuev and Liakhovich are very strong, he said at today´s press conference. But I know that Niko has looked great in practice. For me he is the best heavyweight in the world if he sticks to the game plan and uses his size advantage cleverly.. The manager stressed the importance of Saturday´s clash. There is a lot at stake, he stated. It´s make-or-break. As always, the Russian Giant (47-1, 34 KOs) refused to comment on his opponent. Just like Liakhovich I have trained very hard, was all he said. Everything else I will show in the ring. Meanwhile, the White Wolf (23-2, 14 KOs) voiced his confidence. Everything went very well during the preparation, the former WBO champion stated. I am very optimistic for Saturday. Manager Ivaylo Gotzev also fancies his fighter´s chances: I have been working with him since 1996. Therefore I can say that we will see the best Liakhovich ever. After the fight he will have many new fans in Germany because Sergey Liakhovich is the best kept secret in heavyweight boxing.

Important for senior citizens to take active steps to stay healthy: Heng Swee Keat
Published on Mar 1, 2014 10:31 PM
While the Pioneer Generation Package will provide senior citizens with a safety net, it is important that they keep themselves healthy as well, said Education Minister Heng Swee Keat on Saturday.
Mr Heng attended a community event at Tampines Central Community Complex, where he explained to some 250 elderly residents what health care benefits they would enjoy under the $8 billion package. He spoke in English and Mandarin.
Speaking to reporters afterward, he said: "Ultimately its not just about the financial assistance when you fall sick, but the ability to take active steps to keep yourself well.
"Keeping our senior citizens physically active, mentally engaged and socially involved are very important ways of maintaining wellness."

Description: Marked as one of the final performances to take place at the Merce Cunningham Dance Studios before its pending closure, TAKE Dance and the PULSE composers collective will join forces once again in a three-night (12/15-12/17) performance series entitled FIVE POINTS. Premiering five new works by five different choreographers (Takehiro Ueyama, Jill Echo, Kile Hotchkiss, Kristen Arnold, and Milan Misko) set to new music by five different composers (Joseph C. Phillips, Jr., Jamie Begian, JC Sanford, Joshua Shneider, and Melissa Dunphy), FIVE POINTS presents an omnivorous collection of varying points of view. With "synaesthesia" serving as the collective thread of influence, all five pieces will explore the potential mash-up of the senses, i.e. touch meets sound.

5 stars and the dvd is a bargain,
By Musicfan (California) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jaws (25th Anniversary Widescreen Collector's Edition) - DTS (DVD)
Well, I bought the DVD dts and I think you'll like the extras such as the outtakes, deleted scenes, and especially an excellent documentary. You'll get the behind the scenes from Spielberg, the actors, photographers, and the producers. In today's film world this movie could be made rather easily, but back then you'll see the tremendous undertaking that went into this production. The movie itself, of course, is just amazing. At one point Spielberg says that the shark is the star, but the scenes on the boat will show you 3 stars at the top of their game. The sound quality is outstanding and exact, but I do have one complaint.... on the 5.1 DTS their isn't much activity from the back 2 speakers. The sound coming from the front 3 is great, but they could have done more. This movie is just as suspenseful as when I saw it in the mid-seventies. I hadn't really watched it in awhile and I had forgotten the outstanding acting performances by Scheider, Dreyfuss, and Shaw. Shaw's USS Indianapolis speech is about as good as it gets, while Scheider's everyman performance really rings true. You'll enjoy this DVD and it's at a good price. A good bargain. Buy it!

JAWS Dazzles on Blu-Ray,
This review is from: Jaws (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy + UltraViolet) (Blu-ray)
The original summer blockbuster, Steven Spielberg's JAWS quickly became my favorite film growing up, having devoured it on VHS and on ABC's Sunday Night Movie presentation (the one with the added footage) so many times I could recite dialogue before I was out of grade school. Over the years I've been able to see it on the big screen (thanks to a visit with Lukas on Martha's Vineyard back in `96 or so), but despite that - and having reviewed numerous laserdisc and DVD releases over the years - only now with Universal's Blu-Ray edition do I feel like I've really, completely seen "Jaws." This is a spectacular HD presentation on every level and is sure to thrill fans of this classic 1975 screen adaptation of Peter Benchley's bestseller.
There's not much I can say about the movie that hasn't been written or documented - from behind-the-scenes books to countless documentaries - since the film's 1975 release date. Spielberg's miraculous direction took advantage of every difficult production situation to create an all-time film masterwork that's always been as satisfying for its unforgettable characterizations, surprising humor and memorable atmosphere as it is a white-knuckle thriller about a great white marauding swimmers off the shores of Amity Island. As I write in my review of the terrific "Jaws: Memories From Martha's Vineyard" book a year ago, "Jaws" itself was a collaborative success, one that saw actors from Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw down to extras improvising their lines, giving the film a real, human center that we seldom see in modern filmmaking. The daily shooting schedule couldn't be mapped out all that far in advance since screenwriter Carl Gottlieb spent most nights working on the script with Spielberg - combined with our unpredictable and ever-changing weather here in southern New England, "Jaws" relied on the people making it so much that it's because of their efforts - as well as Spielberg who marshaled them all together - that the movie overcame its physical production struggles. In fact, had the movie not endured such a tumultous shoot, it's likely that "Jaws" never would've become the classic it did. Universal has produced a number of "100th Anniversary" Blu-Rays this year with remastered transfers - the results have ranged from superb to mediocre, but none have looked as brilliantly detailed as "Jaws." Restored from high-res 35mm original film elements, this is one of the most satisfying catalog releases the studio has produced on Blu-Ray to date: Bill Butler's cinematography is richly textured down to the finest detail, with warm colors and just a dazzling appearance that, even though I've watched the movie dozens of times, brings new background details to light with a clarity that I've never seen before in any format (there's also, thankfully, been no attempt here at "tweaking" the movie's color scheme like we've seen on too many BD releases over the years). The water has more depth, the Martha's Vineyard locations come into sharper focus, and just the faintest hint of some filtering is apparent on a transfer that is content to let the movie's natural cinematography speak for itself. It just looks phenomenal. On the audio side, viewers can select from the movie's original mono soundtrack as well as another, "rethought" 7.1 DTS MA stereo remix, both of which are more full-bodied than their DVD counterparts, though purists may still object to some of the alterations in the latter (i.e. the "new" gunshots at the end still sound closer to the controversial 5.1 DVD remix from a decade ago than they do the original mono recording; in other instances, though, the newer effects are much closer to the mono mix than the 2001 version. It's at least a noticeable improvement in that regard). Extra features are something of a letdown, mainly because they're almost all in non-anamorphic, 4:3 standard-definition and suffer from low bit-rates. The "Jaws Archives," for example, is comprised of direct screen captures from the laserdisc, many of which look blurry and should've been cleaned up for high-def. Ditto for the deleted scenes, which appear to be filtered and ported straight off the LD (and the DVD). The eight-minute "From The Set" segment includes candid footage of the production's first few days on-location in Martha's Vineyard. Included here is priceless footage of Carl Gottlieb falling overboard and into the icy, early May waters of the Atlantic -- all for the abandoned first attempt Spielberg made at showing the discovery of Ben Gardner's boat. It's a wonderful segment and it's a shame it doesn't go on longer than it does. Laurent Bouzereau's dry but essential two-hour documentary from the `90s Signature Collection laserdisc is back, and it's been complemented by "The Shark is Still Working," a 2007 labor of love doc from James Gelet, Jake Gove, Erik Hollander, and James-Michael Roddy that treads over ground previously traveled by numerous other behind-the-scenes docs, as well as profiles other aspects glossed over by them (such as an interview with Percy Rodriguez, who performed the voice over for the film's classic theatrical trailer). Unfortunately, the inferior visual presentation does no favors to the program, with heavy compression and "jaggies" present throughout its 103 minutes. Finally, the movie's original, primary theatrical trailer is also on-hand here, in a likewise poor, non-anamorphic standard-def presentation that's worse than its laserdisc appearance from years ago. Of course, given that the prior DVD didn't have trailers of any kind, it's at least an improvement in that regard (the movie's original teaser is a regrettable omission yet again). The sole new addition is an eight-minute look at Universal's restoration efforts on the picture, presented in HD, plus a digital copy and Ultraviolet copy. The disc is housed in a standard two-disc Elite case with one of Universal's nice 100 Years slipcovers; fans looking for more deluxe packaging ought to check out Best Buy's exclusive (though pricier) Digibook release, or the UK's Steelbook edition, which arrives in early September. Ultimately, Universal has done one of their crown jewels proud with a Blu-Ray that boasts one of the format's finest catalog transfers - not just from Universal, but any label. Spectacular! (

Finally On DVD,
This review is from: Jaws (Widescreen Anniversary Collector's Edition) (DVD)
Jaws was Stephen Spielberg's first hit and after his initial reluctance to release his movies on DVD, it finally makes its DVD debut. We all know the story, a great white shark terrorizes the waters off of Amity Island. The movie is based on Peter Benchey's best-selling novel. This is one of the rare instances where a movie is actually better than the book it was based on. In Mr. Benchey's novel, there is are some extraneous sections such as an affair between Ellen Brody and Hooper that really don't add to the story. The movie streamlines the book and the changes made bringing it to the screen actually improve on the book. The performances of three stars are superb. Roy Scheider plays Chief Brody as an everyman. We can all relate with him as he is just trying do his job and the right thing but is caught in the middle. He wants to close the beaches to catch the shark, but the people he is protecting want them opened as the water is the source of their livelihoods. Richard Dreyfus adds some comic relief to the film as the wise-cracking oceanographer, Matt Hooper. The late Robert Shaw takes what could have been a cartoonish role of the shark boat captain Quint and turns him into an obessive, vengeful man in the mold of Captain Ahab. The real star of the film could be its score by John Williams. The music adds tension and fear to the suspense much like the music from Psycho. The DVD contains some extra material including deleted scences, trailers and best of all a documentary on the making of the movie. This is a must see for all fans of the film. We learn of all the problems the crew experienced while filming on Martha's Vineyard, some original casting choices and other behind-the-scences tidbits. These are nice bonuses, but the movie's first appearance on the DVD format is reason enough to buy it. After 25 years, this movie remains a classic.

A Modern Adventure Classic!,
By Barron Laycock "Labradorman" (Temple, New Hampshire United States) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Jaws - 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie is a credit to everyone associated with it, from the stellar cast of actors and actresses to the direction by Steven Speilberg to the original story (a novel) and screenwriting by Peter Benchley. This is a riviting tale superbly told, with excellent cinematography and special effects, and a scary soundtrack that builds the edge of mystery to a crescendo each time it musically announces the shark's appearence.
The idea for the movie is deceptively simple; a great white shark with a fond taste for the sweet taste of human flesh is patrolling the water off Amity Island (read Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard)and terrorizing the summer tourist population. Inject into this some interesting and novel subplots regarding a burned-out city cop and unlikely undersung hero, a brainy, affable but basically misunderstood young marine biologist, and a wonderfully crusty old mariner turned professional shark fisherman and you have the recipe for an entertaining rollercoaster ride. This movie is a modern classic, one with a young Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and the late Robert Shaw. Watching their characters interact is an afternoon's entertainment well deserved, one that is durable and repeatable. It also is one that translates very well into the DVD mode. One caution; don't view it anytime before going for your summer vacation. You may really be afraid to go back into the water!

One of the most frightening films ever made.,
By David Grant (Lancaster, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jaws (25th Anniversary Widescreen Collector's Edition) - DTS (DVD)
Steven Spielberg's ultimate shocker still holds up great after all these years for the exact same reasons it was a huge box-office hit back in 1975: amazing score, powerful performances from an extremely talented cast, great special effects, and perfect direction. It's simple story of a shark terrorizing the waters of a small beach may not be the most compelling material ever to come out of Hollywood, but the attention to character and the sheer terror of the shark attacks more then makes up for it. There is something undeniably terrifying about the thought of being dragged underwater by something huge, something you can't even hope to escape from, and the very first attack scene is true nightmare fuel. As is the most memorable scene in the film, Robert Shaw's speech about his experiences after surviving the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, a World War II cruiser that sank and left hundreds of sailors floating in shark-infested waters for more than four days. Shaw's delivery of the scene still chills to the bone and stands as one of the greatest moments in film history. The DVD edition of JAWS has been long-awaited and fails to live up to it's potential. The lack of audio commentary by the director and a handful of out-of-context deleted scenes are major let-downs. But a superb 'making-of' documentary and an extensive art and design gallery are nice additions. Still, this is the definitive version of a classic film, one that deserves to be viewed multiple times both on the screen and in your darkest nightmares. Have fun swimming in the ocean after this one!!!

We need a bigger boat,
This review is from: Jaws (Widescreen Anniversary Collector's Edition) (DVD)
Have you seen the film? If so, you'll recognize that line. This guy is scooping chum into the water to attract the shark, talking over his shoulder, and when he turns back to face the sea, the open maw of a giant white shark is all he sees, and the critter is about to take his arm off. He gives it that significant silent pause, then says, "Hey, guys? We're gonna need a bigger boat."
It's SO PERFECT. I loved this film when I first saw it a billion yrs ago, back when the earth was cooling, and I love it still. It's about a big shark that these guys are stalking so their peaceful little tourist town can resume business as usual. But then things turn hairy and scary when they realize that, actually, the shark is stalking them. Benchley's original book is pretty faithfully rendered in Spielberg's screen version. Especially well done are the scenes that pit the scientists and level headed sheriff against the politicians who just want all this nonsense downplayed so they can start making money again. I slept just fine after watching it, but my husband had nightmares about sharks coming thru the bedroom walls all night for the next several nights, so...viewing discretion advised for those of tender sensibilities. It IS a little gory in a few spots.

The Standard Has Been Set,
This review is from: Jaws [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Let me get right to the point. "Jaws" is a classic, a masterpiece, the standard by which all modern horror and action thrillers are measured. Spielberg's 1975 adaptation of Peter Benchley's celebrated novel may well have ignited a new era for the movie industry at that time: the era of the "Summer Blockbuster." Sadly, it's an era that seems more intent upon marketing commercial products and visual effects over substance and innovation, as many of Hollywood's bigwigs (Spielberg included) have sold out to produce brainless, demographically inspired trash like "Con Air," and "Wild Wild West." Remember when going to the movies was fun? Remember when you could expect a healthy blend of crisp and original storytelling, attention to character development, and a plot that didn't insult your intelligence? "Jaws" manifests each of these essential ingredients to a quality movie-going experience, and the result is one of the greatest films of all time.
The residents of Amity Island, Massachusetts have one thing going for their livelihoods: summer tourists and beach goers. So what do you do when a great white shark threatens to bring an untimely end to the summer season, not to mention the lives of several unfortunate bathers? This is the dilemma that's brilliantly played out between the rational-minded sheriff (Roy Scheider) and the politically motivated town mayor (Murray Hamilton). The quarrel is finished when a series of tragic events compel that the shark be killed by any means necessary. Enter the best shark-hunting trio ever assembled. Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss, and Robert Shaw formulate such perfect chemistry that we can't peel our attention away for even a moment. In fact, the movie's final hour may be one of the finest ever filmed in terms of drama, suspense, and sheer horror. All performances are commendable, the dialogue at times is brilliant, and the mechanical shark (Bruce) is as terrifying as any "computer generated" effect from that moronic film "Deep Blue Sea." John William's score ranks among the best ever composed, on a par in terms of ground-breaking significance with the themes from "Star Wars," "Gone With the Wind," and "West Side Story." The movie was followed by three sequels, each increasing exponentially in banality.

You definitely want the DVD widescreen version,
This review is from: Jaws (25th Anniversary Widescreen Collector's Edition) - DTS (DVD)
A lot of people I know criticize widescreen format videos and DVDs. They say it looks like part of the movie is cut off. JAWS is the film I use to convert them. I show them the video I own in pan-and-scan mode, usually a scene where the shark pops out of the water when Brody, Hooper, and Quint are on the boat. Then I show them the DVD widescreen version.
What a difference! In the first version, you can only see most of the shark's head and one of the people on board. In the widescreen, you see everyone. Spielberg has a terrific eye and knows how to compose a frame. And the widescreen format is the only way to do justice to this fun and scary film. The new DVD also has terrific and rich color. The sound is great and will remind you why John William's soundtrack is famous 25 years later. But you can also hear other sound effects Spielberg stuck in, like a muted dinosaur roar when the shark is sinking at the end. This, along with many other interesting tidbits, was revealed to me with a behind-the-scenes featurette that comes with the extras on the DVD. There's interviews with the cast members today, as well as a fun trivia game. I also found the deleted scenes interesting, although I'm glad Spielberg didn't use them. The extras gave me a glimpse on how a film is made. When I rewatched the film, I had a new outlook to what went into it. The outtakes and the photo gallery were useless, but don't let that stop you from buying this. If you're a fan of the film, you will want to own this.

Spielberg's Monster Shark!,
By George Guzman (El Toro, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jaws (Widescreen Anniversary Collector's Edition) (DVD)
There probably hasn't been a single movie in the last 30 years that has changed the psyche of moviegoers more than JAWS. As I recall, people literally did not want to go back into the water! Speilberg tapped into this fear and tapped into it rather well.
As someone who had a certain fear of water, watching this movie on the big screen as a kid, you bet I was horrified! Today, JAWS still remains a classic. To those who say that the shark looks fake and that a CGI one would've looked superior, well, I wish they would stop looking at movies through CGI-colored glasses. Personally, I think Speilberg's Great White (though mechanical in close-ups) was truly interesting. It had a certainly personality. IMO, many computer-animated creatures today are rather uninspired creations. Besides, JAWS is much more than just about a shark. The story of greed at the expense of human life is truly interesting to see. It also boasts some great characters as well, namely, Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and especially Robert Shaw as Quint, the old shark hunter with a Captain Ahab syndrome. And what can I say that hasn't been said already about John Williams now timeless score. It's just magnificent! Yes, JAWS does contain its fair share of frights, but Speilberg was wise in inserting genuine moments of humor as well to relieve that certain tension. A movie shouldn't be all fright, all of the time. Certainly, that scene with Chief Brody at the dinner table with his young son copying his every move was both humorous and quite touching. It gave the movie heart. JAWS was the first movie to crack the one hundred million dollar mark. Today, many movies seem to crack that mark with ease. Yet, many of them are nowhere near as good as JAWS. Has the movie-going public been dumbed-down as to watch anything and make profits for these lesser movies? With all of this success, there was a downside. JAWS did to sharks what another great monster movie, KING KONG did to gorillas - it gave these poor creatures a bad image and thus many were slaughtered. Like I said, this movie really changed the psyche of people, in terms of fear of the water and a huge dislike for sharks.

Jaws: A Classic in Action and Horror Genres,
This review is from: Jaws [VHS] (VHS Tape)
There are few sounds more terrifying than hearing someone screaming "Shark!" at a beach or from the water, whether it be in real life or the movies. A young Steven Spielberg went out and milked that scream for help for all it is worth and more: made a classic Adventure-Horror movie. "Jaws" is great in every department. The acting is flawless, with Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw "bonding" in their search and detroy mission of the ultimate great white shark. So powerful is Jaws that almost any picture since has taken little bits from it, unable to escape from its enormous shark shadow. Spielberg, from the opening night sequence shocks us(one of the most terrifying in history) when we don't even see the shark, but see the first victim from the shark's eye view and John William's brilliant soundtrack telling us the terror is just starting. Spielberg has made many great movies, but none scarier than Jaws, none that has its combination of terror, adventure, high spirits, great acting and superb technical achievement of editing, cinematography and sound. With this masterpiece, Spielberg, at a young age, set the bar higher for horror and adventure films, and showed he was a genius in making action movies. It still holds up well, much better than digital movies that are pale in comparison, sloppy and incoherent compared to the great unity of Jaws. Steven Spielberg might have made movies after Jaws that were as good but none better. Jumping beyond its genre , it is on my list of top twenty movies ever made.

The 7th part of my adventures
From Lonely Unfilled Housewife to Perverted Slut Part 7 email@example.com
I hadn't got up when the phone rang. Paul was still sleeping beside me. "Hello." I said answering the phone on the table beside the bed.
"Hi slut, what the fuck are you doing?" Vincent asked.
I looked over at Paul sitting up stretching. "Who's phoning at this time of the morning waking us up?" Paul asked after he yawned.
"It's my best friend Tina. It's time to get up, the alarm will be going off in another fifteen minutes. Get going and have your shower. I'm sure you don't listen to me talk about women stuff honey." I answered pushing Paul on his shoulder.
"Alright, alright, dear, I'm going." Paul said stretching again and tossing the sheet off himself. He put his legs over the side of the bed and got up. I held my hand over the phone so Paul wouldn't hear anything, just in case Vincent said anything.
I waited until I heard the bathroom door shut before I talked into the phone. "What did you want like Master?" I asked.
"First I don't want you putting off. Never put me off. When I phone and talk to you, you answer me." Vincent said in an angry tone. "Answer me bitch."
"Yes Master." I answered feeling submissive but turned on at the same time. "I'm sorry Master but my husband was beside me when you called."
"Did I ask for excuses, slut?" Vincent asked me.
"No Master. I promise to always talk to you when you call, even if Paul is beside me." I answered.
"I'll tell you why I phoned. I bet you want some muscular, big cocked men to fuck you. Don't you slut?" Vincent asked.
"Yes. Yes I want to get my pussy, ass and throat plowed with big cock by muscular studs Master." I answered.
"Are you ready to take my orders, slut? You will be rewarded with muscular men to fuck you if you find a creative way to achieve what I have been thinking about." Vince said. "I know your husband, Paul's birthday is coming up and you'll want to have a party for him. I am thinking you should have help planning a surprise birthday for your husband. If you can be imaginative you'll get your brother in-laws and Paul's sisters husbands to help you with the arrangements. At the same time have your pussy, ass and throat filled their cocks. Think of a way to get your brother in-laws and Paul's sisters husbands over to organize Paul's birthday party without bringing their wives."
"That sounds wonderful." I said. I had always thought his brothers Jason, Ted, Sam, Mark, Tony were hot looking muscular, masculine and most of all dominate men also his brother in-laws Greg, George and Jeff were just as dominate, muscular and masculine. I had seemed the way all of them had looked at me over the years behind their brother's and their wives submissive backs. Vince had brought the true, bitch in heat, out of me. I wanted hot muscular, big cocked, men, to fuck my pussy, ass hole and throat. Now I had a way of being creative and at the same time the opportunity of having, hot sex with Jason, Ted, Sam, Mark, Tony, Greg, George and Jeff.
"Are you fingering your dam pussy bitch." Vince asked surprising by his question and realized I had pulled my nighty to my waist pulled my panties to the size and had jammed two fingers into my pussy.
"How did you know Master?" I asked.
"You're a fucking, bitch in heat, that's why I know you're fingering yourself. You better get a hold of yourself before your hubby gets back from his shower slut. I'll be contacting you later. Use that fucking brain to come up with something creative to get only your brother in-laws and sisters' husbands to organize Paul's surprise party. Get busy bitch." Vincent said.
I started to answer Vincent. "Yes….." I then realized Vincent had hung up on me without saying good bye.
I had no sooner wiped my fingers with some Kleenex when Paul came back in the bedroom. "What have you and your friend got cooked up honey?" Paul asked.
"Cooked up?" I asked. I could feel my hand shaking and held it with my other hand. Had Paul heard me on the phone?
"Yes, I know women, always planning things to do. I'm not giving you next week's allowance. So don't, even, bother to ask." Paul said. The only dominate part of Paul was his wallet and he took care of all the spending in the house. He had all the expenses, such as groceries, my clothing and even prepaid my gym annual membership. The bank sent the grocery store, clothing stores advance checks so I couldn't use a charge account. Paul only gave me a few dollars spending money for bus fair or to buy myself junk food. I didn't have money for a camera or anything more than just a few dollars.
"Oh you mean my best friend. She asked me to come over after you left so we could go to the gym together. That's all Paul." I answered letting out the breath I had been holding in my lungs.
"I want to go over some of the guys at the gym for their body building contest on the weekend. These x prisoners are doing a lot of hard work outs. It's the first time I've trained black men. Over the past four years they have sure let off a lot of steam working on their bodies for body building competions. They have been doing so good I have thought about giving them a treat and bringing them over to watch a soccer game to get them out of the gym. You wouldn't mind would you dear?" Paul asked.
"It's okay with me honey. You've mentioned about the black x prisoners to me before. They sound like they need to get out of the gym, relax, sit back, enjoy a few beers and watch a good soccer game. Of coarse it's all right with me. I'll probably find a good book to read while you guys enjoy the game." I answered day dreaming what the muscular black men must look like. I had never seen this bunch of body builders Paul was training.
Paul took the towel from his waist and started to get dressed. I looked at him before he picked up his boxers to put them on. I wondered how I could ever be happy with what Paul had hanging between his muscular legs. Soft it must have been a couple of inches and hard maybe five inches and not very big around. I wondered if I hadn't,been taken in our upstairs washroom by Vincent and his friends if I'd be happy with Paul. I'd probably never would have discovered I was an out of control bitch dog in heat. I had felt something had been missing even before I married Paul. I felt even more uncomplet after I married Paul. I had spent many nights and days unfulfilled wanting something but couldn't define what made me so unfulfilled. That all changed the night of Vincent and Sandra's anaversery party.
"Barbie! Are you there? Barbie." I heard Paul calling startling me back to the present.
"Oh sorry Paul I was thinking about some work out routines I was going to try out at the gym today. What did you say?" I asked.
"I said I won't bother with breakfast here. I'll have a power drink with the X Prisoners." Paul answered. That's when I realized while I zoned out Paul had gotten dressed in his sweats and running shoes. "See you tonight for supper dear." Paul said and gave me a quick kiss on my cheek. "Bye dear."
"Have a good day." I said watching as Paul walked out the bedroom door.
I headed for the shower trying to clear my head so I could think about what Vincent had told me to work on. I had to plan a scheme to have Paul's brothers and his sisters' husbands over to plan a surprise birthday party. I needed to plan carefully so that Paul's, sisters and his sister in laws had excuses not to be come over with their husbands. I wanted Paul's sisters and sister in-laws thinking it was not my plan they couldn't come over. I wanted them not to come over because they would be busy with plans of their own.
I also had to plan Paul's birthday. I couldn't think of a way not to plan Paul's surprise party without including his sisters and brothers' wives. I guess I would have to put off getting fucked by Paul's hot brothers and sister in-laws until another time. Darn that Vince mentioning getting fucked by Paul's hot, eight brothers and four equally hot, sister in-laws. Paul's birthday was next week and I wanted to give him, a nice, surprise party. I hoped giving Paul a surprise party he would take off the day from working and relax for once. I really did love Paul but since my sluttyness had been woken up, all I could think about was muscular men with big thick cocks.
I stood letting the warm water wash over me, rinsing off my soapy body. Standing in the shower I got an idea……. I want to work on how to write about what my plans had been to occupy my brothers' wives and Paul's sisters. It was a good idea and it worked like a charm. Joan. firstname.lastname@example.com

Jamie Redknapp says Ramires' red card tackle is one of the worst he's seen as Chelsea slumped to a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa with nine men and no manager on the pitch by the full-time whistle.
Willian was first to be dismissed for the Blues in the second half for two yellow cards before Fabian Delph struck a fine goal with just eight minutes remaining to put the home side in front in what had been a fairly inconspicuous game up to that point.
Ramires was then shown a straight red by referee Chris Foy for a late challenge on Karim El Ahmadi and Jose Mourinho was sent to the stands for entering the field of play while complaining.
Sky Sports expert Redknapp told Saturday Night Football that the Brazilian's challenge was 'one of the worst' he's seen.
"This is horrendous, there's no other way to describe it," said Redknapp.
"It's one of the worst tackles I've seen in an awful long time; there's a lot of frustration in it.
"We've all made bad tackles but this... he knows exactly what he is doing, he goes right over the top of the ball and El Ahmadi is extremely lucky that he doesn't get his leg broken.
"It's a three-game ban but it could be even more because it's just nasty, it's an awful tackle that we don't like to see in the game.
"The good thing was that the referee saw it and acknowledged it because I wasn't sure at first whether Chris Foy had seen it but I'm thankful he did because that is a horrendous tackle."
Blown open
Redknapp also believes the defeat - which leaves Manchester City within six points of Chelsea with three games in hand - has blown the title race back open again with fellow rivals Arsenal and Liverpool still to play on Sunday.
He added: "What this has done is blow it wide open, they didn't perform today I felt, certainly offensively to only have two shots on target.
"Fernando Torres was just not up to it today, I've said it too many times for him and that is why Jose feels his team aren't ready to win the league, it's as simple as that.
"Offensively they're not good enough, they've got players that can score goals in Hazard and Oscar but just that one man up front to make the difference in these types of games - they haven't got it.
"This is a good result for Liverpool and a good result for Arsenal. There'll be a lot of fans at home happy and a lot of players thinking 'that's exactly what we wanted tonight'."
What did you make of Ramires' tackle? And has this defeat blown the title race wide open again? Leave your thoughts by commenting below.

Shaukat Aziz, former Pakistani prime minister and ex-high-flyer at Citigroup, has defended the embattled universal banking model – days before the US government adds to the pressure to break up global finance houses by releasing "stress test" results
Shaukat Aziz, former Pakistani prime minister and ex-high-flyer at Citigroup, has defended the embattled universal banking model days before the US government adds to the pressure to break up global finance houses by releasing stress test results.Aziz, once tipped alongside current chief executive Vikram Pandit as a prime contender for Citigroups top job, said that too big to fail remains a necessary and viable model for the banking industry in spite of growing calls to scrap global institutions given the systemic risk they pose. Im not in agreement that the days of global institutions are over, he told Emerging Markets in an interview. Policy-makers and regulators may not appreciate that these are global institutions. [But] while they may be large in size, they have an economic reason to exist. They have to be managed in a way that their size becomes a strength, not a weakness, and it is possible.Although he declined to say whether his former firm should be broken up, Aziz said that Citigroups various businesses around the world complement each other. In theory they can function together very well as one entity as a large global institution. He added that global banks still have a role but they have to be managed differently and managed appropriately. They are important catalysts for global investment and trade.Sheila Bair, chairman of the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corp (FDIC), last week sought authority to close systemically important financial firms, saying no bank is too big to fail. US regulators have delayed releasing the results of stress tests conducted on the nations largest banks until May 7. Aziz said that authorities have further to go in weeding out failed management at big banks. To address the root causes of what happened authorities must take steps that include changing the management and boards of financial institutions which received government capital. Some have done it, more needs to be done, he said. Aziz added that he saw more pain to come as the credit portfolios of banks face new risks. Since stepping down as prime minister in November 2007 Aziz has come under fire in Pakistan for what some see as his role in contributing to the countrys economic collapse last year. But he defended his record in office against critics who maintain his government botched an opportunity to put the economy on a sustainable footing. The facts speak for themselves, he said: Our ratings went up, FDI was the highest ever, the reserves were at the highest levels, the exchange rate was stable all these were good indicators.The coalition government that took office in March last year lambasted Azizs administration, for having allegedly papered over a hole in public finances, which resulted in a rapid downward revision in GDP targets and a leap in the fiscal deficit.But Aziz attributed the countrys dramatic reversal of fortune last year which forced the authorities to go cap in hand to the IMF in November to the sharp spike in oil prices. Suddenly your whole balance of payments, current account goes out of whack because energy prices, which are a core factor for growth, get so high.
Bank debt issuance across Asia is soaring this year, driven by the need to comply with Basel III regulations. Fresh impetus from China is set to send volumes higher still
Europe is stuck. On both monetary and fiscal policy, the continent is divided. Everyone likes structural reform - except voters. So creativity is called for. How about giving money to the poor?
The World Bank's East Asia chief, Axel van Trotsenburg, tells Emerging Markets why it is boosting its investment in Myanmar threefold.
China is keen to step up the pace of internationalising the renminbi - and European governments are keen to help.
Mexico is reaping the rewards of recent economic reforms, an upbeat Luis Vidagaray tells Emerging Markets, as he indicates that the economy can hit a 5% growth target.
Women's participation in the labour force still lags men's by 12% even in developed economies. In the MENA region it can be up to 50%. That is a wasted resource - and best practice examples show countries and companies that tackle the problem outperform
Something needs to be done to improve lending in the country. That's what competition should do… We're so far from where we should be in terms of credit-to-GDP

Highly Qualified Teachers
Another result of the NCLB legislation is that students are now assured of having teachers that are "highly qualified" to teach in their subject area (King-Sears, 2005). Being highly qualified typically means having a degree in the subject area you teach, and NCLB limits the definition of that term exclusively to content-area subjects (King-Sears, 2005). While this would seem to be simple enough for educators who teach specific subject areas in departmentalized schools (e.g., a secondary history teacher should have both a teaching certificate and extensive educational course work specific to history), this becomes more problematic when applied to special educators. Traditionally, special educators have provided expertise in instructional pedagogy rather than in particular content areas, and thus, the definition of "highly qualified" holds serious implications for many special educators (King-Sears, 2005). In point of fact, many special educators, in both resource and/or inclusive class placements, find themselves teaching virtually every subject in the school curriculum. According to the new standard of "highly qualified," teachers who have been teaching content area for decades are no longer considered highly qualified. In some cases, teachers have been told to go back to school to take content courses in reading, math, history, or science to get highly qualified! Of course, it is unrealistic to expect this group of special educators to complete a full undergraduate major in each subject area. Perhaps nothing has so impacted the education of special education teachers as this "highly qualified" provision within the No Child Left Behind legislation, and various states are developing -different ways for teachers in special education to earn additional course credits or participate in various workshops to become "highly qualified" in subjects they teach.
As a practitioner in the field, you should discuss this issue of "highly qualified" with your undergraduate or graduate adviser and find out how districts in your state are implementing this provision. Likewise, you should ask questions about the "highly qualified" requirements when applying for jobs in various school districts. There is some flexibility on the part of some educational administrators in some districts but not in others, and this may well influence where you choose to teach.

I don't know how many of you play Madden 07 (PS2)....but I recently updated my Pats roster with all the new additions. I even created Brandon Meriweather. (took all of Ed Reeds attributes, and knocked some strenths down) I have been playing on All-Pro for the past year. I use what I think are the most realistic sliders available. http://www.maddenmania.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149633&page=3 I use to be able to win by an average of four points a game....scores are usually 24-20 range. With the new additions, I win by two touchdowns. Watson is now unstopable, with Stallworth and Moss getting all the coverage. The only time I go deep to Moss or Stallworth is if the Safeties come up in press coverage. I know its a video game, but if you do play Madden its alot more fun with all the new talent.
you're kidding right? I know you say you realize it's only a video game, but do you really? or deep in your heart do you think this has some bearing on what will happen this fall?
Madden is an extremely popular game though and I can't wait to play it with the new additions. I was hoping for an official roster update for the 07 version but likely they'll just wait until August for Madden 08.
Well it is true, Pats did create the greatest Madden offense of all time!! They should be 99 in the next Madden 08. Lets just hope they are as good in real life!
Hey Moron (or Colt fan) ....I wasn't saying the Pats are going to play like they do in a freaking video game. I was talking about the GAME and the GAME only.

College football players are still the same as 30 to 40 years ago.....spoiled rotten and arrogant. Why not end athletic scholarships all together and see who wants to play for the fun of it???
Hey BJ! The "fans you don't play for" pay your salary.
I don't care if Colleges pay their players or not. But let's not pretend there is anything pure in NCAA athletics.
Opening the season 2 for 3 on the road ain't half bad. Keep it going, Bravos.
I don't care if the Braves are a last place team I will still be rooting for them all year and for years to come
Great to see Dan Uggla hitting again...go Dan go.
Please get BJ out of the lineup and play Schafer. And for heaven's sake if you do play BJ don't bat him 2nd!!!
Congratulations to BJ. He's leading the NL in strikeouts.
Hip! Hip! Harang!
BJ, you haven't played for your teammates since you've been here.
Amen brother!---end athletic scholarships all together.
If Uggla got paid by how many times his name was used in the sports vent he would be richer than he already is
Some of you people are absolutely ridiculous.
A series win in Milwaukee. Maybe you hyper-critical Braves fans should come in off the ledge now.
Wheew!!!!!. Now the Hawks players can feel comfortable now. They are getting out of the playoff picture. No need to cancel vacation plans.
Some of us just love to watch the Braves play. Freeman and Simmons are a delight to watch.
They have band scholarships.Will they get paid also?
Congrats to coach Fox for his contract extension. Well deserved.
Charles Barkley makes Honey Boo Boo look like Albert Einstein
Some of us are McCann fans and want to hear and read about him. We wish him well and think the Braves were stupid as usual to let him go.
Played in the Big Ten, grew up in the SEC region. Played against an SEC team in a Bowl. People there is a difference. FSU is located where? Until y'all win in other parts of the country. People please stop the insanity.
People: Lay off BJ. He just needs more time. His revamped swing will start working sometime. He's only human.
Get well soon Tiger, hope to see you on the course again very soon.
The ACC has FSU and Clemson( who beat the crap out of Georgia)
Yes, it is early. No, I am not impressed with the Braves as a team. Kimbrel, yes.
Ok, you win. The SEC does have Auburn and Alabama. That's all!!!
Man I can't wait until baseball season is over. What a waste of grass.

By James Slater: It seems ace trainer Freddie Roach has been immensely impressed with the talents and the possibilities of Amir Khan. So much so that Freddie will put his retirement plans on hold so as to work with the WBA 140-polund champion until he achieves all he can achieve. Roach at one time said he would retire from his duties as a boxing trainer once his star pupil and Pound-for-Pound king Manny Pacquiao called it quits. However, as has been reported in a feature in UK newspaper The Sun, Roach has changed his mind, and even though he is suffering from Parkinsons disease, the former fighter-turned coach will stick around to work with the Bolton man. Manny [Pacquiao] has won all his world titles with Freddie and Freddie said he would quit when Pac-Man retired, Khan said. But hes told me he wants to carry on because he enjoys working with me so much. For him to say that shows he must have a lot of confidence in me. It gave me a big lift and Freddie has told me that he believes in me like he believes in Manny. So, can King Khan take over from Pacquiao as Roachs star when the Filipino icon finally walks away from the sport? Khan certainly has tremendous skill and Roach clearly sees incredible potential in the close-to-his-peak former Olympian. The big test Khan must pass if hes to achieve all that Roach feels he can comes this Saturday night in Las Vegas. Will Roach stick with Khan if Marcos Maidana ruins things by way of an upset KO win? Khan doesnt see that happening, and neither does Roach. Freddie has gone on record as saying he feels Khan will score a late-rounds stoppage, while Amir himself has said he feels he will win either by mid-rounds stoppage or by clear unanimous decision. Khan has now won five in a row since hooking up with Roach, and he has worked hard to make the shocker he fell victim to against puncher Breidis Prescott become a distant memory. Make no mistake, though, people will be calling Khan a chinny hype-job if he comes a cropper in his Las Vegas debut! But Khan continues to talk about what he hopes will come after hes shut up a lot of people by defeating the lethal Argentine destroyer. And, with Freddies help, Khan wants to take on and defeat the great Floyd Mayweather Junior! Im in boxing to fight the very best out there, Khan said. And that means Floyd Mayweather right now for me. Ricky [Hatton] went to Vegas and met the best to try and prove that he was the best and I will continue where Ricky failed. Manny knows that Floyd will never fight him and it could be me that gets in the ring with Floyd. That is a real fight! Khan has been talking about a possible clash with Money for a while now. At first (and maybe even still) fans scoffed at the very idea of the Brit going in there with the unbeaten master. But Golden Boy are very much up for the fight, and as long as Khan keeps on winning, who knows? One thing we do know: Khan has the best available trainer out there with Roach; and if anyone can help the 23-year-old beat a legend like Mayweather, it is the owner of The Wild Card Gym in L.A!

Jose keen to work with Ronaldo
24 May 2010 - 15:46:39
Jose Mourinho has admitted that he would love to work with fellow countryman Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid.
Mourinho, who guided Internazionale to Champions League final glory on Saturday evening, is widely tipped to join up with the La Liga giants this summer and his desire to work with the Portugal star has further intensified the rumours.
The former Porto and Chelsea coach has also asked for him to be left alone to go about his business on the football field.
Speaking to Marca, he said: "Ronaldo is a very easy footballer to work with.
"Any coach would be happy to have him in his team. He is a phenomenon and should be left alone. I do not understand the attacks on his personal life just because he is a star.
"For me he is a player with ability that is out of this world, but he must win more titles if he is to be considered one of the best like (Alfredo) Di Stefano, (Diego) Maradona or Pele."
