Jindal calls Obama liberal, incompetent at Camp Hill GOP dinner
CAMP HILL — President Obama is the most liberal and incompetent president since Jimmy Carter, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal told Pennsylvania Republicans on Friday night.
Obama has broken promises on spending, debt and the economy, said Jindal, the featured speaker at the Republicans' fall dinner.
But Obama is a nice guy and good family man, said Jindal, adding that he meant no disrespect to Carter.
Jindal served the party faithful the "red meat" it wants 38 days before the presidential election.
"Clearly, the president has done his best. Clearly, his best is not good enough," Jindal said.
He cited unemployment that has not dipped below 8 percent, 23 million Americans out of work and $16 trillion in national debt.
Jindal said the nation needs conservative leadership to control spending as he and Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett have done in their states.
"We can't afford another four more years of President Obama in the White House and mortgaging our children's and grandchildren's futures," Jindal said.
"By any standard, this economy is dong terribly," Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Allentown, told the state committee in a video.
"I'm scared. I'm truly scared of where this country is going," Senate candidate Tom Smith of Armstrong County told party leaders. The party did not endorse him in the primary.
Smith, a businessman who spent millions of his own money to win the primary and has closed the gap in some polls against Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, received a standing ovation when he was introduced.
"Can you imagine four more years (of Obama)?" Smith said, evoking boos and jeers from the crowd.
"We're going to do something about that. Gov. (Mitt) Romney is precisely the right person at precisely the right point in time to get this country turned around."
GOP Chairman Rob Gleason said he is "a lot more bullish" on Smith's chances of defeating Casey.
"The TV has really propelled Tom Smith into this election," Gleason said, referring to Smith's paid ads.
Gleason said he met with Romney in Philadelphia on Friday.
"I'm more convinced than ever (he'll win,)" the chairman said.
"Clearly, the intensity that existed (for Obama in 2008) isn't there," said Mike Barley, the state GOP's executive director.

A South African court has granted bail to Oscar Pistorius, who is charged with the murder of his girlfriend on Valentine's Day, after his lawyers successfully argued the "Blade Runner" was too famous to flee justice.
The decision by Magistrate Desmond Nair drew cheers from the Paralympics star's family and supporters. Pistorius himself was unmoved, in marked contrast to the week-long hearing, when he repeatedly broke down in tears.
Nair set bail at 1 million rand (NZ$113,500) and postponed the case until June 4. Pistorius would be released only when the court received 100,000 rand in cash, he added.
Less than an hour later, a silver Land Rover left the court compound, Pistorius visible through the tinted windows sitting in the back seat in the dark suit and tie he wore in court.
The car then sped off through the streets of the capital, pursued by members of the media on motorcycles, before it entered his uncle Arnold's home in the plush Pretoria suburb of Waterkloof.
At least five private security guards stood outside the concrete walls, keeping reporters at bay.
Under the terms of his bail, Pistorius, 26, was also ordered to hand over firearms and his two South African passports, avoid his home and all witnesses, report to a police station twice a week and abstain from drinking alcohol.
The decision followed a week of dramatic testimony about how the athlete shot dead model and law graduate Reeva Steenkamp at his luxury home near Pretoria in the early hours of February 14.
Prosecutors said Pistorius committed premeditated murder when he fired four shots into a locked toilet door, hitting his girlfriend cowering on the other side. Steenkamp, 29, suffered gunshot wounds to her head, hip and arm.
Pistorius said the killing was a tragic mistake, saying he had mistaken Steenkamp for an intruder - a possibility in crime-ridden South Africa - and opened fire in a blind panic.
However, in delivering his nearly two-hour bail ruling, Nair said there were a number of "improbabilities" in Pistorius's version of events, read out to the court in an affidavit by his lawyer, Barry Roux.
"I have difficulty in appreciating why the accused would not seek to ascertain who exactly was in the toilet," Nair said. "I also have difficulty in appreciating why the deceased would not have screamed back from the toilet."
By local standards, the bail conditions are onerous but it remains to be seen if they appease opposition to the decision from groups campaigning against the violence against women that is endemic in South Africa.
"We are saddened because women are being killed in this country," said Jacqui Mofokeng, a spokeswoman for the ruling African National Congress' Women's League, whose members stood outside the court this week with banners saying "Rot in jail".
However, Nair said he made his decision in the "interests of justice" and argued that the prosecution, who suffered a setback when the lead investigator withered under cross-examination by Roux, failed to show Pistorius was either a flight risk or a threat to the public.
Roux stressed the Olympic and Paralympics runner's global fame made it impossible for him to evade justice by skipping bail and leaving the country.
"He can never go anywhere unnoticed," Roux told the court.
Pistorius, whose lower legs were amputated in infancy forcing him to race on carbon fibre "blades", faces life in prison if convicted of premeditated murder.
Prosecutors had portrayed him as a cold-blooded killer and said they were confident that their case, which will have to rely heavily on forensics and witnesses who said they heard shouting before the shots, would stand up to scrutiny at trial.
"We are going to make sure that we get enough evidence to get through this case during trial time," a spokesman for the National Prosecuting Authority told reporters.
In court, lead prosecutor Gerrie Nel was scornful of Pistorius's inability to contain his emotions. "I shoot and I think my career is over and I cry. I come to court and I cry because I feel sorry for myself," Nel said.
In his affidavit, Pistorius said he was "deeply in love" with Steenkamp, leading Roux to stress his client had no motive for the killing.
Pistorius contends he reached for a 9-mm pistol under his bed because he felt particularly vulnerable without his prosthetic limbs.
According to police, witnesses heard shouting, gunshots and screams from the athlete's home, which sits in the heart of a gated community surrounded by 3m-high stone walls topped with an electric fence.
In a magazine interview a week before her death, published on Friday, Steenkamp spoke about her three-month relationship with the runner, who won global fame last year when he reached the semi-final of the 400 metres in the London Olympics despite having no lower legs.
"I absolutely adore Oscar. I respect and admire him so much," she told celebrity gossip magazine Heat. "I don't want anything to come in the way of his career."
Police pulled their lead detective off the case on Thursday night after it was revealed he himself faces attempted murder charges for shooting at a minibus. He has been replaced by South Africa's top detective.
Pistorius's arrest stunned the millions around the world who saw him as an inspiring example of triumph over adversity.
But the impact was greatest in South Africa, where he was seen as a rare hero for both blacks and whites, transcending the racial divides that persist 19 years after the end of apartheid.

We speak with Afghan women's rights activist Malalai Joya, an elected representative to the December 2003 Loya Jirga convention in Kabul to create Afghanistan's new constitution. She received numerous death threats for speaking out against fundamentalist leaders–including from Ismail Khan–the governor of Herat who was recently fired by President Karzai, sparking demonstrations and violence. [includes rush transcript]
The US military has announced it killed 22 suspected Taliban and al-Qaeda militants in a gun battle in southern Afghanistan late Sunday.
The BBC reports American troops and helicopters fought the insurgents in the Shinkay district of Zabul province which is widely regarded as a Taliban stronghold. He said about 40 militants armed with AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades had attacked American troops on patrol.
Meanwhile, in the west of Afghanistan, about 50 UN staff and aid workers are preparing to leave the city of Herat following clashes between troops and angry demonstrators Sunday.
At least seven people were killed and up to 50 injured when U.S.-backed Afghan President Hamid Karzai fired the powerful governor of Herat, Ismail Khan. Protests against Khan's removal turned violent when supporters torched buildings in a U.N. compound in the city.
Khan is a veteran mujahideen leader and a critic of U.S.-backed government and Washington's policies in Afghanistan. Karzai fired Khan and appointed a replacement as part of his campaign pledge to rein in warlords.
Reuters reports the city of Herat accounts for 8 percent of the more than 10 million Afghans who have registered to vote in Afghanistan's presidential election, which pits Karzai against 17 challengers.
We are joined in the studio by Malalai Joya, an elected representative to the December 2003 Loya Jirga–or Grand Council–convention in Kabul to create Afghanistan's new constitution. At the convention, Joya spoke out against the council chairman's proposal to appoint high clergy members and fundamentalist leaders to guide planning groups.
She objected saying several of those religious leaders were war criminals who should be on trial–not hailed as national heroes to influence the new government. As a result of her speaking out, Malalai Joya received numerous death threats–including from Ismail Khan. She continued at Loya Jirga under U.N. protection.
Since then, Joya has continued to press her case against the former rulers of Afghanistan. Since 1998, Malalai Joya has worked in Afghanistan as a social worker establishing an orphanage and a health clinic and speaking out against the Taliban.

This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.
AMY GOODMAN: We're joined now by Malalai Joya, an elected representative of the December 2003 Loya Jirga, or Grand Council, which is a convention in Kabul to create Afghanistan's new constitution. At the convention, she spoke out against the council chair's proposal to appoint high clergy members and fundamentalist leaders to guide planning groups. Our guest Malalai Joya objected, saying several of those religious leaders were war criminals, who should be on trial, not hailed as national heroes to influence the new government. As a result of her speaking out, she received numerous death threats, including from Ismail Khan, the governor of Herat, who has just been removed. She continued at the Loya Jirga under U.N. protection. Since then, she has continued to press her case against the former rulers of Afghanistan. We welcome you to Democracy Now!
MALALAI JOYA: Amy, thanks you a lot. Also that you gave me opportunity to have some speech with you.
AMY GOODMAN: Thank you very much. We're also joined by Amina Massoud, who will help with any English translation if Malalai Joya needs it. Can you respond to what happened in Herat, to the removal of Ismail Khan?
MALALAI JOYA: Could you translate?
AMINA MASSOUD: [translating to Dari]
MALALAI JOYA: It was I got news that I heard about Ismail Khan, that he fled from power. He was one of the famous criminal of western Afghanistan. He is against women's rights, human rights, against democracy, and always he didn't obey from Mr. Karzai's order. So it was the result that he was a criminal person, so the government of Afghanistan decided to replace him from the power.
AMY GOODMAN: Can you describe in your own words the day you stood up at the Loya Jirga, and what you said?
MALALAI JOYA: Yeah. I said in the Loya Jirga that — I said to my people that why are you allowed to the criminals that to take attendance in this famous Loya Jirga because we want to make — we want to — we want to make our country — I want to translate. [in Dari]
AMINA MASSOUD: She says that she argued that why we have all these people with criminal pasts as our leaders, and as our — in our elections, people would have negative and violent backgrounds.
MALALAI JOYA: I wanted to say that why a criminal people, they are taking attend in this Loya Jirga because we want to make our country [in Dari].
AMINA MASSOUD: We want to have a new beginning with new people, not people with terrorist and violent backgrounds.
AMY GOODMAN: Well, I want to thank you very much. We have to wrap up the show, I'm sorry to say. But I want to thank you for joining us, Malalai Joya, elected representative of the Loya Jirga that was set up to create Afghanistan's new constitution.

I'm going on a cruise in early June. In Juneau and in Ketchikan I see excursions via float plane or helicopter. I've never been on either one. I'm rather afraid of heights (although not afraid of flying) and wonder if these two modes of transportation are more than I can handle. Has anyone out there afraid of heights taken these tours? Does the motion of these flights cause your stomach to drop? Thanks!
Float planes and helicopters - scary?

I am afraid of flying (but do fly), heights and small aircraft and prone to motion sickness. I also dislike cold weather and have difficulty walking on ice. But I went on the glacier landing helicopter excursions Juneau and it was fantastic.
Sometimes it helps to know details of what happens. First stop is the helicopter company where you watch a short safety and rules video and get ice-gripping overshoes. They also ask your weight - first time in a while I did not lie since it has to do with helicopter capacity and seating.
Then they cram you into a tiny helicopter with a pilot who seemed way too young to be doing this. They lock the door from the outside and there are headphones so pilot can hear you and also so he can tell you what to look for where as you fly over Juneau and eventually to glacier. Landed on glacier. Time on ground for partially guided tour about 30 minutes - then back into a helicopter. The helicopter does not wait for you as it is shuttling people back and forth.
My reaction - as helicopter lifted off I really really wanted to jump out - I was terrified. Realizing that this would have meant instant death I did the next most rationale thing which was to close my eyes and pray. After about 3 minutes I realized if I was going to die I might as well enjoy the view - so I opened 1 eye and checked out Juneau and the glacier. Amazing views. Landing was uneventful, walk around over too soon, and on the flight back I forgot to be terrified.
Don't miss this excursion - whether you book it thru cruiseline or independently. Well worth the $$$ for such a short trip.

I prefer light planes to choppers, mainly because usually they're better value (time/$) and because you almost always get a seat next to a window, rather than the possibility of being in the middle in a helicopter (depends on the equipment and operator.)
With float planes the pontoons slightly obscure the view straight down, which I suspect would be comforting for those whose fear of heights brings on a bit of vertigo; the overhead wing also fills a bit of the sky, making the whole affair (IMO) more akin to being in a car - you can use the wings to see the angle of the horizon, and when the plane turns you can also see forward, so you have a real sense of flying rather than sitting in a tube (or bubble) while the world outside the windows does mysterious things.
Takeoff and landing on floats is a total hoot IMO - no matter how many times I've done it (a lot) I still get a real kick when the plane gets "on the step" (hydroplaning just before takeoff) when the water seems to be flashing past like you're on the Enterprise; then when landing how that first "whack" of the bottom of the floats scrapes the top of a ripple, followed by a secure-feeling rapid deceleration as the plane slows down. Personally, I love the whole thing.

I hate flying but I do, so on our cruise to Alaska we took the helicopter to a glacier to walk around and it is still one of the most amazing memories I have. We also took a float plane (two times) into the wilderness and landed on a glacier lake, again, one of my most amazing memories. Not trying to talk you into it, just saying.....

Thank you all very much. The details you've given me help a lot. The helicopter-to-a-glacier experience is so highly rated that I hate to miss out.
Report Abuse
We went on a Misty Fjords float plane and it was not scary at all. If I could do over, though, I'd do the float plane over glaciers as the misty fjords was not as spectacular as glacier viewing, IMHO.

I have done both in Alaska. Both were excellent. I agree with Gardyloo, something about landing on water is just really cool. The landing and takeoff was one of the smoothest I have ever had. Our plane was a 1950's something and the pilot was even older. He was standing in the water and had just finished changing the oil. This was in Soldotna on a fishing/bear viewing/flight seeing excursions. We got a lot of bang for our buck. We also did a helicopter/glacier landing/dog sledding at Girdwoods. It was great too.
My parents did a landing on Denali and that was the highlight of their trip. Do as many as your budget can possibly stand, you won't regret it.

Havok has officially unleashed Havok 4.5, the latest version of their comprehensive animation and physics toolset for developers. The update adds full optimization for the PS3 and its Cell architecture, and is derived from Havok's cooperation with Evolution Studios in the construction of Motorstorm's physics system. Upcoming games utilizing the 4.5 variant are expected to handle Havok instructions between five and ten times faster than the previous release.
"Havok 4.5's ability to allow developers to massively scale game content will make it possible to develop even more compelling, realistic and complex worlds that harness the full power of new generation architectures," says Havok's David O'Meara. Though the emphasis remains on crafting "realistic" worlds, one might also consider the impact that robust physics and animation have on "unrealistic", fantasy games. When objects and clothing behave as you expect them to, it can lend even the most unusual world a sense of believability and cohesion. It's not all sliding crates and rolling barrels, you know.

Grandfather takes China by storm as women's fashion model
Liu, known affectionately as 'MaDiGaGa', is now one of country's most recognised models
- Image Credit: REUTERS
- 72-year-old Liu Qianping, also known as "MaDiGaGa", poses for a modelling shoot in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou November 24, 2012.
Guangzhou: Liu Qianping was visiting his 24-year-old granddaughter in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou recently when the women's clothes the aspiring fashion entrepreneur was packing into boxes caught his eye.
His visit came as the model that granddaughter Lu Ting and four friends had booked for a photo shoot to promote their online fashion business suddenly cancelled, dealing a setback to their new venture.
But Liu, a 72-year-old former farmer visiting to escape the chilly winter of central Hunan province, stepped in to help.
"I walked into the room and saw them packing up some clothes and I thought they looked quite interesting and quite cute," Liu told Reuters.
"So I tried on a jacket and they found it really funny, and I thought it was quite funny. So they asked if they could take pictures of me and post them on the Internet to sell the clothes. And I said, 'why not?'."
It was at that time two weeks ago that a star was born.
Liu, known affectionately as "MaDiGaGa" — funny elderly — is now one of China's most recognised models.
Delighted with his new fame, Liu says he now sometimes looks at fashion programmes on television for ideas on how to pose but generally relies on Lu's team for direction.
He does, however, have his own opinions on styling.
"He will tell us which items should be stronger and what should be improved," Lu said.
"He really likes bright, contrasting colours while I prefer more tone-on-tone combinations. So he gives lots of advice when we try different combinations, so we have some very different styles."
Since her grandfather became involved, visits to their online site have increased four-fold and continue to rise.
Liu, who travelled to Shanghai with his daughter for the first time last week after they were invited to appear on television, said he had been approached by other companies to model for them but had turned them down.
"I never dreamed of lucky things like these happening to me. Now, my name has spread to everywhere in the country," he said.
Lu has been criticised on the Internet and accused of using her grandfather, but he insists the experience has put a spring in his step and she says they are now closer than ever.
"We have no firm plans on how long we will continue, it depends on my grandfather," she said. "If he is happy and his health is fine, we will keep using him as our model."

Less than an hour after the Commissioner's Office suspended Rockies catcher Eliezer Alfonzo, the league announced a trio of Minor Leaguers were also being disciplined. Hughes, Colorado right-hander Randol Rogers and Cincinnati righty Cole Green all received 50-game suspensions after testing positive for performance-enhancing substances.
Hughes, who turned 28 on Sept. 9, tested positive for an amphetamine. The three-time Minor League All-Star spent the entire 2011 season with Baltimore's Triple-A affiliate, Norfolk, batting .249 with 15 homers and 59 RBIs in 92 games. Originally an eighth-round pick by Tampa Bay in 2004, the designated hitter worked his way up the Rays' system, earning Southern League All-Star honors in 2009 with Double-A Montgomery. He signed with the Orioles in March 2010 and hit .258 in 104 games last year with the Tides.
Green tested positive for Methylhexaneamine; the substance, originally created as a nasal decongestant, has been found in dietary supplements and workout products under various names in recent years.
Green was the Reds' ninth-round pick out of Texas this June after being named the Big 12 Pitcher of the Year in 2010, when he finished 11-2 with a 2.74 ERA for the Longhorns. He was previously drafted by the Tigers in the fourth round of the 2010 Draft.
The 24-year-old spent the season at Rookie-level Billings, finishing 4-1 with a 4.24 ERA in 10 outings, including five starts. He also pitched one inning for the Arizona League Reds.
Rogers, 18, tested positive for Boldenone, an anabolic steroid initially developed for veterinary use. The 6-foot-3 righty appeared in five games for Colorado's Dominican Summer League club this year, allowing nine runs in 5 2/3 innings in his first season with the organization.
All three suspensions will be effective at the start of next season.
Earlier in the day, Alfonzo became the first player to receive a 100-game suspension for a second positive test under Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program, the Commissioner's Office announced.
As of Wednesday, 59 players have been suspended in 2011 under the Minor League drug program, including eight this month.

A court in Seoul has sentenced a North Korean defector to four years in prison for trying to assassinate another defector with a poisoned needle.
The defector surnamed Ahn was arrested last year for trying to kill another who regularly sends anti-Pyongyang leaflets across the Korean border.
The Seoul Central District Court said that Ahn was convicted a day earlier.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency says North Korean agents ordered Ahn to kill the activist, and he agreed because he resented the south's intelligence agency.
The court said Ahn's plot was a threat to national security.
More than 21,000 North Koreans have defected to the South since the Korean War ended in 1953. Defectors undergo questioning to make sure they are not spies.

Mall or nothing
While vacancy rates at Dubai's shopping malls have reached their highest ever level, Abu Dhabi ploughs on with plans to build several malls—are we headed for a disasterous déjà vu?
January 30, 2011 5:44 by Eva Fernandes
The real impact of the global downturn took a while to show itself in Dubai; while the rest of the world was complaining about unemployment, companies going bust, and banks going bankrupt, we here in Sunny Dubai were in a state of denial. At least, we were until the Dubai World bomb was dropped on us a year after recession struck the rest of the world.
But, being gluttons for misery, before we even knew of those disastrous debt problems we really had, people in Dubai were eagerly looking around town for signs that the recession had reached us. A good day on the roads? Recession! Everyone has left the country and now it is easy to get through traffic. Hailing a taxi in ten minutes? Recession! Late 2008, Kipp even once spoke to a toilet cleaner who convinced us there aren't as many people using toilets as a result of the recession.
But three years on, and who knows how many redundancies later, it seems those in Dubai shouldn't have been so impatient to see the downturn signs. There is now plenty to be seen, and though it is hard to pick our favorite symbol of the current gloomy economic times, one of the worst effects can be seen in malls. At first there were ridiculous sales on for extended periods of time, then there just weren't any people in the shops, and now, it would seem there just aren't as many shops in the malls.
According to the latest study from property consultant Jones Lang LaSalle, vacancy rates in Dubai's shopping malls are at their highest level in recent years. How high you ask? Though the average vacancy rates lie at a reasonable 5 to 10 percent, current rates are up to a whopping 30 percent.

So where are all those Corporate Know all Gurus now who gaffed at the idea we might be heading for an over saturation mark ! The very people who were advocating expansion with their special knowledge and huge pay pockets seem to have gone gone gone ! shame nobody actually listened to the retailers. !
Well as long as it thins out the masses at the existing malls, I'm all for it. After all over-saturation just drives down rents, which in itself allows for a more varied selection of shops – not just the identikit international brands usually seen.
All of this news might be bad for businesses and their investors, but it's a coup for customers.

But for the last ten years, Robert De Niro's impeccable screen career has been on the slide, with the previously heavyweight method actor bizarrely preferring lightweight comic roles.
Recently, he enjoyed an unexpected revival after an Oscar-nominated star turn in Silver Linings Playbook. But is De Niro really a King of Comedy? Or is his work best when he's playing bad fellas? Well, maybe his new film, the romantic comedy The Big Wedding will determine if De Niro is untouchable once again.
"There's an old saying that marriage is like a phone call in the night" says Don Griffin (played by De Niro). "First comes the ring, then you wake up". He's the well heeled adopted father of the groom, as his Colombian son Alejandro (Ben Barnes) is set to marry the prissy Missy (Amanda Seyfried).
But there's to be deception at the reception, as De Niro's Don is forced to abandon his lover Bebe (Susan Sarandon) in favour of his divorced wife Ellie (Dianne Keaton). All this to appease their adoptive son's ultra conservative biological mother Madonna (Patricia Rae) who has flown in for the big day from South America.
Add to the nutty nuptials, Jared (Topher Grace) their 30-year-old virgin son, Lyla (Katherine Heigl), their secretly pregnant daughter and Father Moinighan (Robin Williams), a reverend on the rehab.
The Big Wedding with its big cast should be joyous. But writer/ director Justin Zackham who penned The Bucket List, this time scribes just the bucket - the sick bucket.
This is not so much Meet The Fockers as meet the shockers. The jokes are something old, nothing new, mainly borrowed and sadly blue. De Niro is a shadow of his former self, not so much Taxi Driver as taxidermy. A stuffy performance in which he is slapped, punched and boked on.
After a succession of seaside-style sex jokes, the one-time Jake La Motta is more like a shaggy Sid James. "Are you talking to me?" Yes, Robert I am. Why are you making this guff? Surely, you must know that this lame script is raging bull.
Oscar-winning actresses Sarandon and Keaton fair no better, not even they can make a silk purse from a pig's ear. Robin Williams continues to defy his comic talent with a dreadfully dull cameo. Remember when the San Francisco funny man used to light up the screen with his inventive brilliance?
The last time I remember seeing De Niro and Williams together was in the powerful drama Awakenings back in 1991. This was the real life story of catatonic patients remarkably revived back to life.
Ironic then, that The Big Wedding offers the reverse experience, with this time the unamused audience being slowly induced into a cinematic coma.
The Big Wedding (Cert 15) is now on general release.
Brian Henry Martin is an accomplished documentary filmmaker and UTV's resident film critic, appearing regularly on UTV Live Tonight.
No matter what the film, there's a good chance Brian has seen it.

Video: CarMax Super Bowl "Slow Clap" Commercial Pays Homage To Rudy, Notre Dame
The Super Bowl may be the world championship between the two best professional football teams, but that doesn't mean that the commercials can't have a little love for the college game. CarMax has pre-released the ad that it will run on Super Bowl Sunday, which pays homage to the "slow clap" scene that everyone loves in Rudy. It even has a cameo by Sean Astin, who played the legendary Rudy Ruettiger in the film. Notre Dame fans will be sure to enjoy it:
Here's the scene from the movie:
There is also a puppy version of the commercial, which appeals to a much different demographic. We'll see if CarMax hits it big next week.

Today at Flavorpill, we found John Edwards' smiley mug shot absolutely terrifying. We were thrilled to hear that Lauryn Hill performed a recognizable (if slightly sped up) version of "Doo Wop (That Thing)" on Jimmy Fallon last night. We listened to Werner Herzog read Go the F*** to Sleep. We met a bunch of people who became nouns. We were kind of jealous of this woman's iPad hat. We streamed The Guardian's 100-track history of modern dance music. We were impressed by the work of Polish artist Marek Tomasik, who built a 16′ x 14′ x 15′ room out of old computer parts. We wondered what look Helena Bonham Carter is going for in a new campaign for Marc Jacobs. We giggled over old footage of Larry David doing standup back when he had hair. And finally, we learned the secret history behind Oreos' signature embossed look.

FOXBORO — In a meeting with NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith on Thursday afternoon, the Patriots voted to decertify the union in case of a lockout.
The decertification process is a routine step in the process to prepare the union for collective bargaining, which is ongoing between the NFL and the NFLPA. Decertification would give the union a chance to sue under antitrust laws if there is a lockout. Without decertification, the union would have to wait six months to file a suit after the collective bargaining agreement expired.
Prior to their meeting with Smith — which included updates about the ongoing labor negotiations between the ownership and the players' union — Patriots player rep Matt Light talked about Smith's visit.
"I think it will be good," Light said. "Anytime you have the leadership here and in place, they're here to deliver a...
In the latest edition of the WEEI.com NBA Power Rankings, the Lakers remain in the top spot (despite coach Phil Jackson's recent proclamation that the team isn't as good as the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who won an NBA-record 72 games). However, the Celtics were passed for the second spot by the New Orleans Hornets, who are off to a perfect 7-0 start.

Celtics executive president of basketball operations Danny Ainge, in his weekly appearance on The Big Show, said that the health of centers Shaquille O'Neal and Jermaine O'Neal had become something of a concern. Shaquille O'Neal has missed the last five games while recovering from a bruised right knee, while Jermaine O'Neal was sidelined in the second half of this week's contest against the Mavericks due to a left knee injury.
Shaq, Ainge said, is expected to return to the lineup against the Heat on Thursday. Jermaine O'Neal, on the other hand, is expected to remain sidelined. While Ainge did proclaim the health of the two centers a concern, he also said that it was not a complete surprise that the team is managing minutes at the position.
"I think that Jermaine and Shaq are a concern with their health," said Ainge. "I felt like with the four centers we have that we'd be able to make it through the year. I...

Leon Powe looked as if he hadn't slept for weeks. It had been two days since the birth of his son and he was running on fumes. Despite his exhaustion, he posted a then-season high 10 points and six rebounds in just 15 minutes in his first game back. His son may have kept him awake at night but it was the newborn that motivated him that evening on the court.
"When you have a kid, it makes your intensity go up," said Powe, whose first son, Leon Powe III, was born in January. "You want to go out there and play hard, play extra hard. I've got a lot of extra [energy] brewing up in me because I'm just so excited that I've got a kid and somebody I can look after."
In 2008 nearly half of the Boston Celtics were impacted by fatherhood. Powe, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Kendrick Perkins, Rajon Rondo, and Brian Scalabrine celebrated either the birth or the first birthday of their children. On the court the Celtics live their mantra, Ubuntu, meaning "I am who I am because of those around me". Off the court, these Celtics follow the same belief.
"He's depending on me to take care of him," Powe said. "So I've got to go out there and do what I need to do just so he can be straight, meaning go out there and play as hard as I can like it's my last because it's for him too."
Like Powe, Perkins was driven by the responsibilities of being a father. His perspective on the game of basketball has changed since the birth of Kendrick Perkins Jr. in September of 2007.
"Now you're working to feed another mouth. It kind of makes you go that much more harder because you want to make sure he's secure in his future and his kids are secure," he said. "[My focus has] changed a lot, on and off the court, and the way I've been approaching the game with a great mental focus. It helped me a lot."
While some have used fatherhood to amp themselves up, Scalabrine has discovered a newfound calmness thanks to his daughter. A true Celtic baby, Elliana was born on St. Patrick's Day 2007.
"Ever since I had my daughter, everything I do, I do for my family. Everything, like even the way you conduct yourself on the floor, off the floor, practice, games, it all reflects on knowing that I have my daughter and my wife looking up to me," he said. "I think the biggest thing is, you learn patience ... You've got to be patient and not get too emotional when things go wrong because obviously you have to deal with someone who doesn't have the same types of emotions as you do."
Patience paid off for Scalabrine and the Celtics last season when they captured the 2008 NBA Championship. No one on the team had been more patient than Pierce, and even waiting 10 years to hold the trophy couldn't compare to holding his daughter, Prianna Lee, for the first time in April.
"It's a totally different feeling," Pierce said. "You have a sense of amazement, like, look this is something that you created, your daughter, this is for life. It's like, (pauses) it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life. In basketball winning a championship is one of the most amazing things that ever happened to me, so it's hard. I can't put them on the same level because to watch a child be born, it's unreal to me."
The pressure is high for the Celtics in this championship-defending season. But whether they win 19 straight games or hit a sudden two-game snag, there is a constant support off the court that helps them get through it all.
"No matter how I play she's always smiling," Rondo said of his daughter Ryelle. "I can go 0-for-28 in two games and when I go home, it's a different feeling."
It's a feeling that is difficult for many to put into words. It goes beyond the feeling of Celtic Pride. Fatherly Pride is the most powerful of all.
"Outside of winning a championship," Pierce said, "There's nothing better than having my daughter."
