The post Sam Rosen mixes up his Carolina sports teams appeared first on Awful Announcing.]]>
Sam Rosen is a New York-area legend through his work with MSG and the New York Rangers. His calls of their 1994 Stanley Cup run will, in fact, last a lifetime. He's also a man with lots of national credentials, calling the NFL and NHL with Fox since they launched their sports division two decades ago.
Rosen is filling in for Kevin Burkhardt on Fox's B-team these next couple of weeks while Burkhardt hosts the studio show for the World Series (Thom Brennaman, similarly, is subbing in for Joe Buck on the A-team). His crew, with John Lynch and Pam Oliver, called Carolina-Green Bay yesterday. The only problem is that Green Bay doesn't have a hockey team, which may have been on Sam's mind during this intro.
To me, what makes this more funny than anything is Rosen's previous assignment was actually the Carolina Hurricanes, when they played the Rangers at MSG on Thursday. A simple mistake anyone could make, but it's funny to see someone think of a market's hockey team before their football team.

The post San Francisco radio stations banning Lorde's Royals until after the World Series appeared first on Awful Announcing.]]>
As you probably know, the song Royals is actually relevant to the baseball team and we have George Brett to thank for a New Zealand teenager becoming a worldwide star. According to KMBC, both KFOG Radio and 96.5 KOIT are banning the song throughout the World Series.
Of course we all know how this is going to end – if the Giants win, then this will be part of the reason. But, if the Royals win, what will have been the point of this whole thing? Oh – at least sparing those in the Bay Area from having to listen to the song regardless! Win-win!

The post ESPN and Turner to share in NBA jersey ad revenue appeared first on Awful Announcing.]]>
There were some changes. Both ESPN and TNT would receive additional regular season games. ESPN would add year-round studio programming. Turner would get digital rights for the Bleacher Report and both would also receive increased streaming rights.
But the one feature that escaped many observers until now was the fact that both ESPN and Turner will get to share in the sale of ads on game jerseys. According to Sports Business Journal, both networks lobbied to sell the ads, but the NBA refused to relent reserving those rights to the teams. However, Turner did manage to get permission to sell corporate advertising for All-Star Game jerseys which will continue to be aired exclusively on TNT. That will begin in the 2016-17 season when the new TV contract starts.
ESPN did discuss the potential of selling advertising for Finals jerseys, but an agreement could not be reached on that issue.
While it's not known how much ESPN and Turner will share in the jersey ad revenue, the conventional wisdom is that a national sponsor could fetch more money than a local sponsor.
ESPN and TNT did manage to seal deals in which they can sell sponsorships making certain events like Opening Night or holiday games into bigger entities allowing them to draw more money.
As the networks spend more money on rights, they look for ways to make their revenue back through creative sponsorships. Look for networks to put their unique stamps on the NBA and with future media rights deals from now on.

The post Inside the Numbers: Thursday Night Football vs. NLCS appeared first on Awful Announcing.]]>
The combined rating of 10.1 for Thursday Night Football outpaced what Fox Sports 1 garnered, 3.1 for the NLCS series-clinching game. But as most of the 16.1 million viewers who watched TNF went to CBS (13.2), 2.9 million watched on cable's NFL Network. As for the NLCS on Fox Sports 1, the total viewership was 4.9 million viewership. Granted, most of that was in the over-50 demographic which is practically avoided at all costs by the networks, but the overall viewership on cable did beat TNF. Although the NFL Network-exclusive TNF in 2013 did draw 6.8 million viewers for the Week 7 game.
In the all-important 18-49 demographic, Jets-Pats on NFL Network drew a 1.24 rating. NLCS Game 4 on FS1 saw a 1.16. Yes, if you round off, they're both at 1.2, but when you go to the hundredth of a point, football still beats baseball.
For Thursday Night Football, the combined numbers on CBS/NFLN are consistent with the season. The package through six games has been averaging at 10.0 rating with a 17 share. Viewership has been solid with 16.1 million watching each week. The numbers have outpaced Monday Night Football on ESPN which averages an 8.3 rating and 13.4 million viewers, but behind Sunday Night Football on NBC at 20.1 million viewers.
As for the NLCS, Fox is happy about the numbers for the series on Fox Sports 1. Four games aired on the network and three set viewership records for FS1, however, when compared to last year, the numbers were down significantly. Still, the overall numbers are good news for Fox as it tries to build Fox Sports 1 from scratch. Yet, the older demographics that baseball draws have to be a concern as well.

The post Five things fans get out of new TV deal appeared first on Awful Announcing.]]>
The NBA agreed to a new television deal which will nearly triple the television rights coming into the league starting with the 2017 season.
Ostensibly, there are very few changes. Games will be on ESPN and TNT still. The nights will change very little too. TNT may get a few off-Thursday nights and the schedule may allow for flex scheduling so the league can make sure important games are on TV and we will not get saddled with mediocre Lakers on television 20-plus times.
So what will fans get out of this new TV deal that has the NBA swimming through cash like Scrooge McDuck? Let's explore some:
1) Flexible games
As noted above, one of the big changes in the NBA's new TV deal is that the league is open to adding flex scheduling to its premier national television games — particularly the featured TNT Thursday night games.
Currently, the league schedules at most three games for Thursday nights, allowing TNT to feature "premiere" games without any other basketball competition. This often involves the league trying to predict which teams will generate ratings, leaving fans with sometimes awful choices for games — you have to love mediocre teams in big markets getting the preferential treatment even late in the season.
Better games, specifically as the season winds down, and more flexibility in the schedule to give nationally television audiences the best games possible. It seemed irrational to have the Lakers and Knicks on 20-plus times and even late in the season last year while the Wizards and Suns had one appearance each. For Washington, especially, the Playoffs were the team's first major appearance on a national stage. Only NBA junkies really knew who this team was.
The new scheduling and ability for TNT to better pick its matchups as the season progresses will ensure that the best games are on TV when they matter most.
2) Digital Access
The really groundbreaking idea coming out of the new television rights has to do with digital access to league games.
Currently the league retains most of the digital rights to games, sending them out through its League Pass program. Nationally televised games however are only available through cable subscriptions through Watch ESPN or the like. Watching a TNT game online can be a bit tricky, and it may still remain so.
However the new television rights deal leaves open the possibility for ESPN to provide nationally televised games online without requiring a cable subscription.
This is an incredibly innovative and new way to do things. For so long, these television rights have been tied to the networks and the cable companies. The NBA and ESPN seem to be preparing to take an unprecedented step to make nationally televised games available without a cable subscription.
The NBA is getting ahead of the trend (or is somewhere behind it, or whatever) in keeping the option open to create an all digital channel for the NBA and NBA games. Who knows if additional programming would come with it or if it is only the ESPN-televised games. The opportunities are endless.
3) Ads are coming
There is no avoiding it. Ads are coming to NBA jerseys.
And as part of the new television deal, advertisements on jerseys are part of the equation.
The television deal included a split of revenues coming from ads on jerseys with Turner set to put advertisements on All-Star uniforms in 2017:
Sources involved in the discussions said the two networks will receive a cut of any team's jersey sponsorship deal that is signed by a national brand that would have bought time on ESPN or TNT's NBA game telecasts — think Coca-Cola or Samsung. The networks will either get a straight payout from the deal, or they will receive specific commitments from the sponsor to buy additional TV advertising during games, a network source said.
This is pretty big. It is the first concrete signal that the NBA is preparing to put advertisements on their jerseys, much like soccer jerseys in the United States and around the world. Many international basketball teams already have advertisements on their jerseys. It is not so crazy an idea.
But in the United States, this idea is met with horror and anger. There is no denying it is coming though.
4) Cable bills will increase
This is the potentially bad news of the new TV deal. Increased fees for TV rights get passed onto the consumer — even if they do not want ESPN.
The way the cable business is set up right now is the cable companies have to pay a fee to the cable channels to carry their network. That is why you will sometimes see FOX pull all their channels or Viacom (CBS) pull all of their channels off cable trying to negotiate an increased carriage fee.
ESPN is currently the most expensive one of these and cable companies would not dare drop that network because live sports are the last bastion for guaranteed live watching on cable television. Even this might be changing as digital access to games increases.
Cable companies spread around the cost of these increased usage fees. Undoubtedly to make back some of the costs for this massive rights deal by increasing their carriage rates. That means cable bills will be increasing, whether you watch the NBA or not.
5) A labor stoppage is coming
There has already been agitation from some players about the league's increased television rights deal. Kevin Durant hinted he would like to see the max contract abolished. Kobe Bryant and LeBron James both made comments to the effect of: the owners cannot be crying poor now.
In other words, the players are expecting to take back some of the revenue they lost in the last round of collective bargaining. There is a bigger pie and the players want their share of it.
The owners are not about to give up a favorable deal with more money coming in. And this will be Adam Silver's first solo collective bargaining as commissioner and Michelle Roberts will make her debut for the NBPA. A work stoppage seems inevitable.
Is it the kind of work stoppage that will cost games in the season though? That is the part nobody seems to know. Maybe the influx of cash will allow the owners to give a little bit to keep labor peace and keep the money rolling in for the league.
There will be a momentary stoppage though, it seems inevitable. And the players will not be happy if they do not get something in return for all the revenue coming in with this deal.

Congrats! I'd like to offer a slightly different take on maintaining your 800+ status. Your credit score is a tool like anything else and the purpose of maintaining it is to benefit you. Since it's not a static number there maybe times in your life when you (need or want) to do something that may decrease your credit score. Just remember that's ok! Also remember there's no difference to a creditor if you have an 810 or a 790. Lastly, your score (assuming it doesn't go really low) only really matters if you're looking for new credit. I guess what I'm saying is congratulations but don't let the desire to stay 800+ paralyze you in your financial decisions.
Thanks idmd. Yes, I will need an auto loan one day to replace my 12 yrs old car, and it will brings my score down is sure.
Other than that, I will keep my routine.

The efforts of Google, Yahoo, Facebook and other major websites to tailor our online experiences to our supposed interests can affect our ability to get a view of the world the way it really is. Instead, we are fed a view of the world that these organizations "think" we'd like to see. Google, Yahoo, Facebook and other websites use proprietary algorithms to "personalize" news for us -- that is, to select news they think we will like to see -- not to select news that challenges the user, contradicts his or her views or that the user would be unlikely to see. The algorithms work invisibly, so users have no way of knowing what the websites are editing out and preventing us from seeing. The algorithms pick information based on what we usually look at, resulting in a feedback loop that Internet guru Eli Pariser calls "autopropaganda" -- unknowingly indoctrinating yourself with your own views. If you and another person you don't know both perform a search on Google on the exact same term, you can both get shockingly different results, based on Google's analysis of what each of you usually look at. What this means is that Internet users essentially get an edited worldview based on personal information over which they have no control. The fact that this activity is hidden leaves users without the ability to seek out sources of information and news with which they are unfamiliar, that might challenge them or give them a broader view of the world.
The ex-girlfriend of Wisconsin & Southern Railroad CEO William Gardner is speaking out about her decision to tell authorities about his illegal campaign activities and their apparent pay-for-play relationship.
Last January, the Government Accountability Project (GAP) and New York radio station WNYC sought help from the public to find out which senator put an anonymous secret hold on the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act, killing the bill at the end of the last congressional term. The bill would have assured protection for government workers who expose illegal activities, waste and corruption. It was tremendously popular with the public and had won unanimous approval in the House when a single, unnamed senator put a "secret hold" on the bill, preventing it from going to the full Senate for a vote. The Government Accountability Project vowed to conduct "a relentless search to find the politician who is a cowardly enemy of taxpayers." WNYC asked listeners to call their Senators and ask if they were responsible for the secret hold that killed this important bill. Finally GAP narrowed the field to two possibilities: either Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Arizona), or Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama). In January, the Senate voted 92-4 to change the rules governing the secret hold to make it harder to use, and GAP's project to expose the senator who used it against the Whistleblower Protection Act has made senators more hesitant to use it. It also brought new attention to the Act, which will be reintroduced in the Senate in the current session.
The world recently discovered that 22 year old, alleged Wikileaker Bradley Manning was subject to inhumane and degrading conditions while being held in military prison. Were his wardens fired? No, the head on the chopping block is State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley, who denounced Manning's treatment in an off-the-cuff remark on a college campus.
Obama's acquiescence over the status of Guantanamo Bay has brought attention back to the detention facility and the controversial information extraction and confinement practices which are carried out behind its walls. While most Americans probably think that these harsh procedures are reserved for violent "enemy combatants," they would be surprised to learn that some of the same techniques are used on American citizens on U.S. soil.
But that is precisely what seems to be happening to Manning, the Army Private accused of supplying WikiLeaks with sensitive information.
On February 11, 2011, after 30 years of dictatorship, Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak announced he was stepping down. As ancient pharaohs slumbered inside, a crowd of over a million surrounded the rose-colored Cairo Museum setting off fireworks and jumping for joy as they peacefully forced a modern pharaoh to flee. This hopeful moment will be studied for years, and no topic will be more hotly debated than the role of social media in the uprising.
Former Reagan Administration official, CNBC host and columnist Larry Kudlow, who writes for the National Review -- one of the oldest and most influential conservative publications in the country -- said October 6 that shadowy groups like the

One need to look no further than the creepy and covert Orwellian events that were recently unearthed in Pennsylvania as Exhibit A for a reflection of the current horrifying environment that exists for those who choose to speak out against governmental and corporate injustices and in this instance, against fracking in the Marcellus Shale.
Two national watchdog groups, U.S. Chamber Watch and StopTheChamber.com, have filed complaints with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service asking the agency to investigate the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for criminal fraud and money laundering.

The Detroit Red Wings released today a press statement as well as renderings of what their new arena. Before we get to "Is thirty-eight years a sufficient lifespan for an arena?" the projected amount of time Joe Louis Arena would have been in use when the new arena opens in 2017, or "How will this affect the team on the ice?" let's take a moment and drool at some pictures of the Red Wings new arena in downtown Detroit.
The new arena district plans for downtown Detroit. Including the Red Wings new arena pic.twitter.com/1r08X7hGOZ
— Hockeytown Central (@RedWingCentral) July 20, 2014
The Red Wings logo on the top of the arena is not a permanent fixture. The roof has a programmable light design on the roof so that it can be adjusted based on what event is going on inside. And now another….
— Hockeytown Central (@RedWingCentral) July 20, 2014
The arena and bowl design is being referred to as a "deconstructed" stadium. Essentially instead of all of the team offices, concessions, ticketing and other arena amenities being a part of the structure as it is in a tradition arena they will be separated from the seating bowl by a glass covered walkway that will be built in the style of a European street.
One more for good measure.
— Hockeytown Central (@RedWingCentral) July 20, 2014
It reminds me strongly of how parts of the Arena District in Columbus looks as well as a slight resemblance to Temple Street in Dublin Ireland. The premise is that it is a walking street with businesses, restaurants, and other amenities.
This feels a lot like the Dallas Cowboys building AT&T Stadium. This is one of the premier franchises in the NHL trying to create a renaissance for themselves as one of the more popular teams and using a new arena as part of revitalizing their image. Not that the Red Wings have a bad image per se but they are for certain in a rut. Even with some of the best players in the league on the roster they come across as a team that is now stuck in the "Too good to get a top pick but not good enough to win the cup" trap.
That being said once this arena is built it is all but guaranteed that the Detroit Red Wings will host an All-Star Game and the NHL Draft within a few years, maybe even in it's first year. There is no doubt in my mind that it will be an awesome venue for watching a hockey game and a great place for having a beer afterwards.
Hopefully for the fans of the NHL this stadium being built will not have the same effect as the rash of stadiums being built throughout the NFL started. If so every year one fan base or another will have to go through the agony of a team owner dropping veiled hints at moving the team without however many million dollars from public coffers. If I were a Red Wings fan I would want the team to sign at least a fifty year lease with the amount of money involved.
Let's just hope that this $650 million dollar facelift for downtown Detroit does as much good for the local economy as the Ilitch family is leading everyone to believe because a $260 million dollar public investment from a bankrupt city needs to show tangible results.

Surviving The End Of Everything Good

Restless Natives
The Scottish referendum result of last week has unequivocally exposed fractures within the British body politic that have not been witnessed since the commencement of the Ulster Troubles in October 1968. Similarly these in turn evolved a full half century after the Irish Free State's own secession from the United Kingdom. The crossroads our country thus stands at today is surely of similar consequence to events of this very month 65 years ago no less in September 1939 - 1.6 million British people having now proclaimed to the free world that the greed-obsessed, democratically-deficient, profiteering and deeply degenerate status quo of modern Britain and the Union itself is not fit for purpose any longer.
Having unfortunately been resident in a London-now-morphing-into-Dubai mixed with a Hammer Horror film set since 1987 I completely understand the core dynamics behind Scotland's irrevocable distancing from the social changes operating within the South East of England in particular. However I would have been literally heartbroken had the deep cultural blood ties and shared history between Ulster and Scotland been constitutionally severed off the back of the above for good. Ties that stretch back long before the Ulster Plantation and the Hamilton and Montgomery settlements in County Down to the ancient Kingdom of Dalriada, the Scotti or indeed to the clear geological (let alone Pictish) confluence of Eastern Ulster with Western Scotland.
Life has gone on as normal of course for millions of people in England since Friday 19th September 2014 with the Ponzi housing market, demographic megasurges, rotting social infrastructure, junk television, Facebook updates, aggressive urban culture, cheap supermarket lager and banking mischief but it is clear that a gigantic political timebomb has now been laid that has changed everything from this point on in time in the UK.
If there was a way to salvage societal unity from such political and ethno-religious divisions north of the border (not a mention of the latter on mainstream media of course) I yet feel it is still theoretically possible despite the eleventh hour afoot. However our current Westminster political class are surely the last people on Planet Earth or possibly even the universe itself that could manage it. The internal Scottish parameters they allowed to be set for the referendum alone being surely the gravest political misjudgment in living folk memory from Skye to the Scilly Isles and all points inbetween.
Either way....Welcome to History.

Aye Ready
I have had a sneaking suspicion for some time now that not that many working people in the likes of Copenhagen or Dusseldorf or Warsaw are waking up in the middle of the night and worrying with quite the degree of death-rattle horror about the future ahead as compared to the citizens of a recession-hit and literally directionless Britain.
Tonight our country finds itself emershed in a sense of rank social stasis that outstrips even that as portrayed in James Joyce's Dubliners in 1914 - minus the cheap black porter then available in British Dublin of course. We have a public awareness of unparalleled cultural change and political inertia afoot that transcends individual left-right boundaries. And we also have ludicrously transparent censorship by the mass media of the true scale of danger affecting the economy by way of real unemployment figures or the gargantuan cowboy mischief-making of the UK property market.
If British life wasn't so serious and sobering then all this Kafkaesque entertainment accompanying the Euro collapse would be terribly wry and amusing.
Back to another time and place I recently watched the third of Peter McDougall's Play For Today dramas set in Glasgow - 1979's Just A Boy's Game which followed Just Another Saturday and Elephant's Graveyard. The performances by both blues singer Frankie Miller as Jake McQuillen and Ken Hutchinson as Dancer were truly exceptional when viewing this for the first time in 30 years. At one point Dancer visits McQuillen while the latter was working on a crane at the Glasgow docks at Greenock. They talk about the imminent death of McQuillen's grandfather - "What is he dieing of?" "Everything". The fading grandfather's metal remains unvanquished right through to the play's conclusion however where he tries to even pick a fight with hard man Jake while on his own deathbed. The kind of steely people that empires were once forged upon no less.
That same spirit of Caledonian grit being seen the decade previously with Scotland's 3-2 victory over World Champions England at Wembley in 1967 when Dennis Law of Manchester United noted to Glasgow Rangers' Slim Jim Baxter that the English team were there for the taking and for the Scots to seize the opportunity. The legendary reply being, according to football lore, "Naw let's just take the pish oot o'them". He certainly procceded to do so alongside reminding England's Alan Ball of his uncanny resemblence to 4 foot 3 inch comedian Jimmy Clitheroe.
Two decades later The Proclaimers Letter From America gave us one of the most moving political songs of our times as comparing historic emigrations of old from Lewis and Skye to a now industrially bereft Scottish landscape stretching from Irvine to Bathgate.
In the thriving cosmopolitan, stylish and pulsating financial hub of modern London - the fifth country in the United Kingdom and Margaret Thatcher's disfunctional and very naughty bastard grandchild - there is no doubt very little thought at all anymore about other British regions and their historical connectivity to the capital through war and peace. This very metropolis currently luxuriating in the same waves and pathways of globalisation that guarantee there probably won't be much nuturing ahead in the UK for more Slim Jims, cutting edge television dramas about the working class or industrial endeavour of extraordinary vintage and achievement.
Thankfully there is no price on heritage, culture, wit, character and pride for the time being. So whatever the constitutional future should hold over the next few hours, Scotland remains both a big country and a mighty nation. Great Britain will never see its like again.

2014 Satanomics
I learnt a brand new word last week - "precariat". This refers to the social class whose existence is entirely frameworked by a lack of predicability or security regarding employment. Of course in the thriving metropolis of New London no middle class person would ever be found in this essentially post-working class social milieu - therefore I do not officially exist nor do the majority of my friends and colleagues who all work in what would still be considered middle class white collar professions by any broad North West European term of reference.
Discussion of the perfect storm parameters of modern British life has been a mainstay of this blog over many years. In turn this of course has been the main catalyst behind the creeping scale and scope of this horror demographic across previously set class determiners. Such radical social change being thus founded upon the most staggeringly unethical banking practices experienced since the Wall Street Crash, population shifts in the South East of England that have not been seen in Europe since the fall of Silesia and East Prussia to the Red Army, the apparent Marie Celeste style-disappearance of the Ealing Comedy proletariat of yore from the streetscapes of London and the greatest middle class insecurity since the last days of the Weimar Republik.
The capital's ability to market the unmarketable fundamentally relying upon the selective blindness of the mainstream media to consider any of the above apart from the ubiquitous scorn for the indigenous chav underclass, the greed-fuelled Ponzi housing scam, the social acceptance that children will live at home until 30 and the Shoreditchisation of slum London for the benefit of European hipsters.
Growing up in Belfast in the Seventies of course the large working class Shankill district two miles from my home underwent a similar perfect storm - political violence, brutal housing redevelopment, urban blight, an enormous motorway scheme affecting its southern boundary with the city centre, blanket deindustrialisation and radical population decimation. In the Seventies alone the population fell from 76,000 to 23,000 alone.
No such long term drawbacks look set however to affect the onward trajectory of the New London Century - with its bread, circuses, gunsmoke and mirrors. The dense fog of zero interest rates, budget airline fares and a residential culture of transient populations strategically enshrouding the regenerated Factory of Grievances in turn. Where the past is itself and the future appears clearly written far far away from the rotting public infrastructures, the lack of a productive economic base and the misery etched on every commuter's pallid deathmask face.

The result was a 1-0 victory for the home team who had provided a guard of honour for the visitors at the start and as against a deafening welcome to both sides from the Belfast supporters. Needless to say that in a period of sustained racist abuse of the Eastern European population of Northern Ireland at present it is well to recall this brave 1975 gesture alongside the Polish contribution to the RAF defence of Ulster itself during the Second World War. Seven Polish Air Force graves lie tonight in Milltown Cemetery in West Belfast and three at Ballcranbeg Cemetery in County Down.
The importance of Ulster sport to both a sense of societal normality and providing an albeit qualified framework for communal bonding has been discussed in earlier posts on George Best and Mary Peters. The entire subject was reviewed in depth in Teddie Jamieson's superb Whose Side Are You On? Sport, The Troubles and Me which was published in 2011.
However the apogee of this social phenomena may well have been reached last weekend with the success of the Giro d'Italia races across Greater Belfast, along the Antrim Coast and through County Armagh into the Irish Republic. This was without doubt the biggest sporting event to be held in Northern Ireland since the termination of the RAC Tourist Trophy competitions in 1955 at the Dundrod Circuit.
One especially memorable piece of television footage captured from a helicopter during the Saturday event was that of twenty or so horses galloping along Carnlough beach in tandem with the cyclists - Carnlough being the home village of current Liverpool Football Club manager Brendan Rodgers. The riders accompanied the peloton at various points on the route including at Dunluce Castle - captured within the centrefold of Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy album - and the equally beautiful ruins of Kenbane Castle on the Causeway coast. The events were held in honour of the McDonnell clan of Antrim who controlled the area in the 16th Century. It represented "safe passage" to the cyclists through Sonny Boy McDonnell's territory of old. It was a marvellously conceived and executed complement to the atmosphere surrounding the entire proceedings.
The endgame battle of history in Ulster looks set to run a complex course for many more years to come. However the success of the Giro d'Italia - and similar moving events in Northern Ireland last weekend marking the sad passing of the extraordinarily brave young cancer victim Oscar Knox - truly suggests that the majority of the people are now fundamentally running ahead of both Ulster politicians and Northern Irish regional politics alike towards an pragmatically inclusive tomorrow. That race has clearly been won.

George Best And Northern Ireland
During the Ulster Troubles, and outside the remit of political actors and those caught up in the violence of the times, only the Northern Ireland comedian James Young would appear to have pro-actively used a significant public profile to plead for reconciliation through the remit of political satire and a folk celebration of working class life.
Conversely, and as discussed in an earlier post, it would mainly be sporting figures from Northern Ireland that appeared capable of winning unqualified allegiance and broad-based support across the sectarian divide. And indeed across the generation gap too if one were to qualify similar claims now associated with the Seventies punk music scene in Belfast and Derry.
Eight years on now from the death of George Best and the affection towards his person remains undimmed across Britain alongside the pride he brought to all the Ulster people during days of anarchy, mass murder and bedlam.
Best the working class Protestant born in a city whose Loyalist gable end walls would often be inscribed during the Seventies with the acronym KAI for "Kill All Irish" yet would be mourned from Dublin to Galway and from Donegal to Cork alike.
Between April 1964 and October 1977 George Best would play 37 times for Northern Ireland and score nine goals in a series of matches which would consist of 13 victories, 16 defeats and eight draws. 16 of these appearances would be against British opposition. These 37 matches in turn were made up of 16 Home Internationals, 14 World Cup qualifiers, 5 European Championship qualifiers and two friendlies.
If mid-1966 can widely be accepted as the start of political unrest with three murders carried out by the Ulster Volunteer Force then it can be seen that the majority of Best's international appearances took place during the Troubles themselves. The international football team even had to play home matches on mainland Britain between 1972 and 1974 because of the scale of violence - Best himself played in the 16th February 1972 match against Spain in Hull for this reason.
The background of civil conflict in Northern Ireland that ran in parallel to Best's domestic and international career injected a significant undertone to much of the public response to his death in the country of his birth. Best's passing uniting the men and women of Ulster in the realisation that the ghost to be mourned was not only that of an acclaimed individual but of an often maniacal time shared together which had nevertheless uniquely defined them as one people.
For all the naysaying of older generations of Northern Irish people - about a talent cut short and wasted alike a raft of fellow Celts - for the children and teenagers of the Sixties and Seventies he was indeed nothing more than a defining cultural cornerstone of our lives and has left behind a million memories of genius, skill, intelligence and so much laughter and fondness.
Perhaps in other circumstances another Northern Ireland player could have performed such an act of brazen cheek against hapless England goalkeeper Gordon Banks in 1971 by flicking the ball away during a goal kick and heading into the net – but only Georgie Best could have done it in front of a Cinzano advertising hoarding in the world's then bleakest grief hole. Likewise perhaps no other celebrity in the history of television marketing could have managed to advertise Cookstown family sausages and Fore aftershave while keeping both professional and personal reputation intact.
To no small degree the former Junior Orangeman and Belfast Telegraph delivery boy from the Cregagh estate would indeed be the sole public figure to supersede Irish political rancour in life and death – the commentaries he made himself upon religious division on the island of Ireland having unfailingly reflected genuine sadness and humility.
For when Ulster almost ripped its physical being apart with butchery for three decades perhaps no other individual contributed so much to help rebalance how others saw us in our time of war - showing the world the kind of people we were and, more importantly, were not.

Marc Anthony pulled a page from his ex Jennifer Lopez's post-breakup play book and frolicked on the beach with his much younger hot lover Shannon de Lima in Miami on Thursday.
The scrawny 44-year-old Latin crooner and his 24-year-old Venezuelan model girlfriend are definitely enjoying their moment in the sun.
Dude, eat some cheeseburgers and hit the gym.
Better that the creepy little twit that's spending his ex-wife's money.
Nancy honey, get a life.
I bet the guy doesn't even weigh 110 lbs. His legs look like he's terminally ill.
Big penis, big wallet, close approximation to JayLo. Those are the only reason a hottie would be with this skinny short guy.
Marc is a very sexy man with character and dignity. Unfortunately people are very cynical and expect everyone to be interested only in money. These are just two people who enjoy the afternoon sun. So it should be. But the girl is definitely beautiful, and obviously has great taste in men lately.
Oh F YEAZ, I'd tap that b*tch!!
One day I will win the lottery and live just like you!
oh my god, beautifull
How does he do it?...I don't get it...

Good for Marc!!!
(You know JLo's PIZZED right now, 'cuz this chik makes Casper look like even MORE of a douche than he already is! LOL!!!)
Thank god Marc, you open your eye's, your not seeing cows no more?
His ex is Jennifer Lopez, the sexiest thing since KY. He on the other hand is just a well paid musician with another dip**** trophy who will never be half the woman Jennifer Lopez is! For the record, not a fan of either, but it's a no brainer! Cheers!
Another woman who likes ugly men. AMAZING!
Does "Scrawny" mean "Short"?...cuz the 6 he looks to be carring "Scrawny" doent look to be the right word...
I also dont think he gives a **** what other people say..he is off of thunder thights...I dont care for the singing..but I will help him spend the $$$

As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq continue, more and more female veterans are becoming homeless.
The number has doubled in the past decade, with an estimated 6,500 homeless female veterans in the country – about 5 percent of the homeless veteran population.
Homeless advocates said the trend is particularly troubling because so few programs cater to homeless female veterans.
Locally, aid workers said they're seeing similar trends.
You have more women in the military these days than you ever had before, said Charles Haenlein, president of HVAF of Indiana, which helps homeless veterans and their families. And if you have more women in there, you also have more women that end up homeless. Nationally, the number of homeless veterans that were women was 2 (percent) or 3 percent, 10 years ago. Now, in some places it's as high as 8 (percent) or 9 percent.
In Indiana, Haenlein reports that women make up 5 percent of all the homeless veterans, which the Indiana VA puts at 3,600.
Naomi Nicastro, homeless coordinator at Fort Wayne's VA Medical Center, said she has put at least six formerly homeless female veterans in their own apartments during her three years with the Fort Wayne VA. Two of those women were veterans of the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Nicastro said she's seeing more female veterans, though the numbers are small. When they come forward, she often struggles to find available temporary housing in Fort Wayne. Although there are temporary homes like Charis House open for women with families, they are often full, Nicastro said. And the options for single female veterans are virtually non-existent.
The problem is when we do see them, there aren't as many resources in the community, Nicastro said. There's no place for them to go.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

Service was slow and disjointed even though we were the only diners. None of the food was bad, simply average. The spicing could have been more flavorful. The chips and salsa were quite good.

We enjoyed a bountiful meal at an affordable Tex-Mex restaurant. We brought home leftovers! We will come back again.
Have eaten at this restaurant once and had carry out on another occasion. Both were very good experiences. The restaurant itself is fairly large and the tables are pretty far apart, so there's no trouble conversing while you eat. The ambiance is relatively sparse but nice. The service is friendly and efficient. As for the food, everything I've tasted has... More
Great margaritas! The fajitas I had for dinner were also good, and my friend I was with enjoyed her taco salad. The atmosphere is nothing special, but comfortable. Service was a bit slow. Overall, a good place for dinner or lunch if you like Mexican cuisine.
The tasty Mexican food, attractive setting , and superior service make this restaurant a winner. A menu with many options for the choosy diner will win over the hardest-to-please patron. This restaurant provides a wonderful ambiance, enjoyable Mexican music, and savory shrimp, grilled steak, two samples from a wide assortment of options.Carryout, catering and office parties are featured as well.
We had a table of eight people ranging in the ages of 9 to 80... Everyone was happy with dishes they ordered. The waiter and waitresess were very attentive AND every in the restaurant was full.

It's a pretty typical Mexican restaurant with a fairly standard menu. The service is very good and the portions are really big. The quality of food is good and everyone can find something they like.
We go to Sol Azteca at least once a month. There are Mexican dishes you expect, but their specials are great. My husband often gets duck and I get a salmon salad or flounder.
We live nearby so we come here frequently for the good Tex Mex food. The seafood and vegetable enchiladas are very fresh and tasty. Service is attentive and the prices are fairly reasonable. All in all a very good value and would definitely recommend it.
This restaurant offers delicious food, and great food options across preferences (vegetarian, fish, meat, etc.). Reservations are a good idea for Fridays and Saturdays. It's a family restaurant and gets noisy when crowded, but the food is great.

Spectacular investment property where all the hard work has been done. This building was taken down to the studs and totally rehabbed. The property has new heat new electric new kitchens and bathrooms. First and second floor are rented and completed and the third unit will be completed prior to closing. The third floor has a possible tenant waiting for this unit to be completed so the building would have 100% occupancy. The outside needs some minor cosmetic work and does not reflect the interior condition.

Hoo boy! I'm getting close to wrapping up with two of my clients, and I'm really happy about that (MONEY PLZ KTHX). In the meantime I've been playing a Pokemon Nuzlocke on Heartgold with my wife; we switch off whenever she feels like playing. I'm also working on a Murder Mystery party with three friends that our local Bronies meet up group will get to host in October! I'm suuuper stoked for it especially because my wife will be helping me out ^u^ she da best.
I'm also volunteered with her to be a part of our local Anime Convention staff - Fannatiku Fest for 2015! It's gonna be a lot of fun to be a part of the staff for the convention where I first met my wife - albeit we were both wearing colored wigs at the moment haha.
That's it for this week's update~
