Mickey Callaway on MFB: Fight with Lou Merloni 'fun to tell the grandkids one day'
|06.13.14 at 12:52 pm ET
Former major league pitcher and current Indians pitching coach Mickey Callaway joined Middays with MFB on Friday to reflect on his fight with Lou Merloni in the minor leagues. To hear the interview, go to the MFB audio on demand page.
Merloni charged Callaway in a minor league game in 1999 after being hit by a pitch. It was the first and only time Merloni charged the mound in his career, and the only time Callaway was ever charged.
"I wasn't trying to hit you, I don't think. I was trying to throw a fastball down away," Callaway told Merloni with a laugh.
What Callaway wasn't expecting was Merloni to throw his helmet at him before the fight broke out.
"That kind of surprised me," Callaway said. "I remember him coming at me and taking his helmet off and throwing it at me, and I was trying to deflect that. By the time I deflected that, we were on the ground.
'There was a ton of people. I don't know where my teammates were. There was people punching me at the top of the head."
Words may have been exchanged between Merloni and Callaway while at the bottom of the pile, but Callaway said he couldn't remember what was said.
"I can just remember being on the bottom of about 10 people it seemed like. … But it was fun. It's a good story. It'll be fun to tell the grandkids one day," Callaway said.
As a pitching coach, Callaway said he tries to prepare his pitchers for situations where they may be charged.
"You kind of want them just to hold their ground and hopefully, if you're going to throw a punch, do it with your left hand. You don't want to be hurting your pitching hand," he said. "Hopefully it doesn't happen, but you've got to stand up for yourself and stand up for your teammates. It's all competitive and fun, and that's just part of the game."

the news is that American Airlines will be laying off about 900
more employees, the result of shutting down two of its remaining
ten reservations offices. American's reservations employees in Las
Vegas (NV) and Norfolk (VA) are expecting their walking papers
shortly, as the world's largest airline reduces overhead. Some 550
of the cuts are from the Virginia office.
As American runs into problems similar to United's (trying to
get unions to move quickly to reduce their members' pay), it has to
simply eliminate jobs wherever it can. The airline's official
stance was that this reduction is "a last resort."
"A last resort" -- instead of what? American isn't saying,
directly; but we must suppose it's instead of a Chapter 11

As she glanced across the street toward her home on the Belleville Turnpike, North Arlington resident Miriam Montes De Oca tried to pretend that everything was still the same. Only hours before, she had routinely walked the few short paces from her house to her beautician's job directly across the street. Now that her shift had ended she would make the trip in reverse. But something was distinctly different this time around. This time, an ominous cloud of uncertainty hung over her home – a cloud that would prove to be a mother's worst nightmare.
With three sons in the Marines (a set of twins and their older brother) stationed in war-torn Afghanistan, Miriam knew in her heart that the soldiers standing at her front door weren't there to socialize. She also knew that when she took those first agonizing steps toward the house, her life and the lives of her remaining family would be forever altered. How could this have happened? Which one of her babies was it?
She pushed fear aside and plodded forward. She simply had to know.
Osbrany Montes De Oca didn't look like a Marine in- the-making when he was younger. Like his twin brother Osmany, he was slight of build, bony-thin actually, according to his younger brother Franklin, and possessed nothing close to the brawny physique emblematic of the "few and the proud." But nature at this early stage can often mask the potential that lies within. The best was yet to come.
Skinny or not, "Osbrany and Osmany were determined to become U.S. Marines," explained Miriam. "Since they were eleven they dreamed about being Marines. They said when they were eighteen they wanted to sign up and were going to do it no matter what I said. Osbrany even told me that he would one day win the Purple Heart."
As the boys matured their bodies began to change. The reed-thin appendages that they laughingly called arms were now banded by sinewy muscle – a physical trait passed down by their father. Regular weight training only enhanced this physical change. A few years later when the twins signed up for boot camp at the Marine recruitment offi ce, they had not only the desire to be proper Marines, but the brawn to back it up. Their long-anticipated dream was finally taking form.
Back at home life went on as always. Younger brother Franklin played at sports and was thankful that he would no longer be treated as the "little brother," no longer be called "midget," or jokingly be "locked into a suitcase" by his older siblings. Even so, he couldn't deny that he missed them both. Despite their antics and a five-year age difference, they were still his heroes, and sometimes he wished that they were still around. He wondered how boot camp was treating them and how he would fare if put to the same grueling test. By now it was common knowledge that Franklin also longed to be a Marine, just like his older brothers.
Osbrany's girlfriend, Maria, had high hopes for their future together. Sweethearts for six years, the serious-minded young couple had already thrown a stiff jab at the longevity odds. One fine day they would marry and begin a fruitful life together – she just knew it. Maria could hardly wait.
Rosa Matos, the twins' great aunt, had always cooked for the boys. Now that they were gone she felt a sudden void in her daily routine. "Hey auntie, whatcha got in the pot?"
Osbrany would ask her while licking his chops in hungry anticipation. She recalled how Osbrany was absolutely nuts for lasagna. "Auntie, please make two lasagnas, one for today and one for tomorrow," he'd say with a Cheshire cat grin and playfulness in his voice. He'd usually wolf down both servings in one day.
Miriam did her best not to worry, but when her 20-yearold twins were sent off to Afghanistan, as their 22-year-old brother Sandro (also a Marine) had done before them, it was all she could do. Sometimes she'd think about Osbrany's keen sense of humor and silly antics and it would bring a smile to her face. Like that time when he was three and purposely knocked a bottle of cooking oil onto the fl oor and began to swim in it, just like a fish. Were these aquatic motions Osbrany's way of showing that he was destined to be a Marine? The notion still made her giggle.
But then Miriam's fears would come rushing back and she'd think about the cruel possibilities of war. She'd recall in particular that definitive moment when Osbrany said to her, "Mom, I know what I'm getting myself into. If I'm going to die, I'm going to die a Marine." It was a haunting comment that she could never quite shake.
As Miriam moved closer to the Marine contingent standing at her front door, the ashen look on their faces spoke volumes. She now knew with agonizing certainty that at least one of her boys had been killed. It was Osbrany, the Marines told her in a soft respectful tone. He had been cut down by a sniper on Friday, February 10, in the Helmand Province. He never saw it coming. Miriam was inconsolable. Within the span of a few excruciating hours the rest of Osbrany's family learned the tragic news. Most were as shaken as Miriam. All prepared for a life now devoid of Osbrany's shining light.
The body of Lance Cpl. Osbrany Montes De Oca was flown stateside. His brother Osmany, who had received a 30-day leave, accompanied the casket on the flight to Dover Air Force Base. "Osmany was hit the hardest by the news," said Miriam. "He shared a special bond with his brother that only twins understand," she said. Now, as one half of the former "team" Osmany would have to carry on without his brother. He understood that the going would be tough, but he also knew that he had no choice but to rise to the challenge; people were depending on him. First and foremost he was a Marine.
Osbrany was laid out at the Parow Funeral Home, North Arlington where countless loved ones, friends and soldiers viewed him for "one last time" before he was committed to the ages. His burial at Holy Cross Cemetery on Feb. 20 was conducted with full military honors. It's as he would have wanted, said his mom.
Miriam Montes De Oca wants everyone to think of her beloved son not just as Osbrany, a young man who brought joy to so many, but as Osbrany the proud U.S. Marine. By anyone's measure he has earned that right.
"Osbrany was a person who saw the dangers of protecting freedom and yet volunteered to defend it, regardless," said Montes De Oca of her boy's legacy. But that only accounts for a portion of this soldier's story. Osbrany also managed to see his dream materialize even though his mortal life was cut short. There are millions of people wandering this globe who would give anything – including years off of their lives – to make such a claim.
A makeshift shrine has been set up on the family's coffee table. Amongst the remembrances are formal sympathy letters from dignitaries such as U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (DN. J.), U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), and U.S. Congressman Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.). All include a somber passage about Osbrany making the "greatest sacrifice" in service to his country. Standing beside these are picture frames containing snapshots of Osbrany from many stages of his life. Here he is as a fresh-faced lad of six or seven; there he is just a few years older wearing a cocky grin, and so on.
The majority, however, show Osbrany standing tall and proud in his Marine Camo's or Dress Blues. This is only right and proper for Lance Cpl. Osbrany Montes De Oca was a Marine through and through. Nothing and no one can ever alter that fact – not even a sniper and a sneak attack. This committed young man did what he believed he was destined to do and in the process helped to keep us safe.
A velvet jewel box rests prominently on this table of honor. Inside is the Purple Heart medal just as Osbrany had promised.
You made the grade, soldier, and you made us proud.
Semper Fi and Godspeed.
May we never forget you.

A recent commotion at an historic burial ground containing the remains of American Revolutionary War veterans has stirred the sounds of battle anew.
At their Feb. 28 meeting, members of the township's governing body sounded an alarm about conditions at the Belleville Reformed Church Cemetery – now owned by La Senda Antigua Church – at Main and Rutgers Sts.
Tom Grolimond, who chairs the Belleville Historic Preservation Commission, talked about seeing tree branches being cut down – some "more than 12 inches in diameter" – and, instead of using rope to ease the heavy limbs down to the ground, the cutters were allowing them to drop on the tombstones, with at least one dating from the 1700s "cracked in four pieces."
When concern was voiced about possible damage to cemetery railings, Grolimond said the response from the cutters was that it didn't matter because "they're old."
Township Attorney Tom Murphy said he'd talked with the police chief about the possibility of bringing criminal charges against the people doing the cutting under a "desecration statute," but they concluded it would be tough to prove "purposeful action," as required under the law.
"I don't think the chief would feel comfortable issuing a complaint," he added.
"Whether this is a crime or not, I don't know," Murphy said. "It's more of an 'I don't care' attitude."
And that type of apparent unconcern, Murphy said, is an affront to the people buried at the site. "They endured terrific hardships to make us free," he said.
Then, as if on cue, church pastor, the Rev. Miguel Ortiz, accompanied by his wife Lily, and Rutherford attorney Doug Mautner, entered the chambers.
Murphy reminded the church's agents that town officials had met with them about six months ago about taking precautions with any cleanup of the cemetery grounds "which holds more bodies of Revolutionary War soldiers than any other cemetery in the United States."
That's why local officials were so upset when they learned about the seemingly haphazard tree cutting on the morning of Feb. 19, Murphy said. "That's completely unacceptable to the township," he said. "Disregard for the sanctity of that (property) represents the poorest type of citizenship…. We were just flabbergasted by the activities that occurred."
Pastor Ortiz sought to assure the governing body that, "I meant no harm to the cemetery."
The church's intent, the pastor said, was simply to "pick up all the branches that were left hanging" from the storm that hit the area last October. Only one gravestone was damaged previously, he said. "We weren't cutting trees. We have total respect for the graves. I just wanted to cut the hanging branches. One was about to hit the (bust) of George Washington."
Fine, said Murphy, "but we still should be notified" about any further cemetery cleanups.
"The church is responsible for cleaning up the cemetery," Ortiz said.
Murphy responded: "Had we been notified, I'm confident our Public Works Department would've gone on the grounds (to supervise and assist)."
Councilman-at-large Michael Nicosia interjected: "I can't emphasize enough how much this means to the town. I make sure my children know how important it is. I would've taken precautions (to minimize possible damage). In future, I hope you reach out for help."
Mayor Ray Kimble chimed in: "Call the Police Department in future. They know how to get in touch with our DPW."
That's right, Murphy added, Belleville's government is ever vigilant. "We don't disappear on the weekend," he said.
Ortiz insisted he wasn't taking the matter lightly. "I'm not a one-night stand," he said.
And so, the skirmish ended in a truce.
Outside the chambers, church advocate Victor Bian, a history teacher at Passaic High School, said that he recognized the importance of the cemetery and that he has prepared an on-line historical appreciation of the site for fellow parishioners.
La Senda Antigua, a Pentecostal congregation, acquired the church and cemetery from another church about two years ago.
Grolimond said that the historic commission hopes to get the site declared an historic landmark. Among those buried there are 62 Revolutionary War soldiers and many of Belleville's street names are derived from those dead, he said. The cemetery was originally associated with the old Dutch Reformed Church, whose original structure dates from 1697 and was rebuilt in 1850, he said.
A cemetery tablet ascribed to the Belleville Historical Society states that Josiah Hornblower (credited with inventing the first steam engine in America in the 1700s) is buried in the cemetery, along with many of Belleville's early settlers.
When the historic commission next meets on March 15, it expects to have on hand Mark Alan Hewitt Architects, of Bernardsville, to provide architectural consulting services. The Township Council voted Feb. 28 to hire the Hewitt firm at a $10,000 a year cap.
In other business, the council granted a request by the Belleville Soccer Association to use the municipal stadium for its home games from March through June 2012 with fees waived. Kimble noted that of the 102 children registered with the league, 70 live in Belleville. Kimble asked league officials to coordinate with the township Recreation Dept. to avoid scheduling conflicts.
The council also appointed township assessor Kevin Esposito as interim township manager. He'll temporarily replace current manager Victor Canning, who is leaving March 15 to take a similar position in Montville. Esposito's salary adjustment has yet to be negotiated. The township is seeking a permanent replacement for Canning.

Concerned about the plight of the Franco family who were left homeless when their house at 187 Brighton Ave., Kearny, caught fire on Feb. 27, neighbor Donna Cupka is orchestrating collections for the family in their greatest time of need.
The fire, reported at 2:16 p.m., escalated into a four-alarm conflagration that became so intense at times it nearly spread to adjoining houses. After an investigation of the incident, Kearny Fire Chief Steven Dyl confirmed that his department has ruled the fire as accidental.
At first Cupka thought that the house to the south of the Franco residence was the one that had caught fire – not at all surprising since firefighters had routed a fire hose through its front door and out of a side window in an effort to attack the flames from a better angle.
She tried to contact one of the tenants at the house, a Kearny High School teacher, but eventually realized that the flames were coming from the Franco home. Franco, his wife, son and grandchild were in the house when the fire started. All made it out safely. The family dog took refuge beneath a bed, said Cupka. Sadly, the animal perished in the blaze.
The fire did extensive damage to the wood-framed structure rendering it unlivable until major repairs are made – but Cupka wonders whether the building can be restored.
"The insurance company had come and they said that they can't knock the house down; they're going to have to rebuild what's there," explained Cupka. "I don't think they're going to be able to do that because the whole back of the house collapsed… There's no back of the house – you can see right through," she said.
As the house burned, members of the Franco family congregated directly across the street on Cupka's front porch and watched with great sadness as the living nightmare progressed.
"They (the family) did go in there yesterday and were actually able to save some things, " said Cupka. "They actually saved pictures, jewelry, things like this."
"It was like a miracle when they went into the owner's bedroom because they had a cross on the wall which had fallen down on the bed," said Cupka. And the whole room was destroyed except for that bed, the quilt, and the pillows. Everything was still intact – they were just wet from the water… The dresser right next to the bed was still fine, and a cabinet and everything that they had like their passports and important papers and everything… Nothing burned 'cause this cross was sitting there."
The Red Cross has put the Franco family up in a hotel for the time being, explained Cupka. "I think they're only in there for like five days and then either his (Franco's) insurance or his job are going to help put them up somewhere until he can find something," she said. When asked about the family's long-range plans, Cupka sounded less optimistic. "I don't think there's enough insurance to even cover building again… The whole back collapsed right down to the basement."
The family has lost virtually everything that they own and are in great need, said Cupka. "We had a U-Haul truck out here last night for donations for clothes and things like that," she explained. "I know Garfield School is doing Dress-Down-Days to get money for the kids, because that's where the (Franco kids) go." Lincoln School and Roosevelt schools are "going to do something also," she said.
"My daughter is trying to get something done at Kearny High School – to help with the teacher also because he had so much water damage in there," Cupka said. "Even the house on the other side has water damage. They can't go back in there. I saw them taking out their beds last night, I don't know where they were going."
Cupka marveled at the way that people have opened up their hearts and wallets to help the Franco family get back on their feet. "When we rented the U-Haul truck, a fireman came up and gave some gift cards, another woman came and gave money to rent the U-haul again, 'cause we're gonna do it (accept donations) again on Friday. We've put it out on Facebook… There's so many sites right now and everybody is putting something on Facebook about it."
"I'm the person who is coordinating the neighborhood right now," explained Cupka when asked how people can best contribute to the cause. "What we're telling people is if there's nobody over by the (Franco) house with the U-Haul truck, then they can drop everything on my front porch… And people who want to donate furniture for later on, we're taking names and addresses. We'll pick things up from them, 'cause a lot of people said they had beds and furniture but they had no place to put them right now. They (the Francos) need things like appliances right now – they need everything," Cupka said.
"So many people brought clothes last night it was unbelievable," said Cupka about the generosity that's being displayed by good Samaritans. "I was really surprised how people came out like that. And they were just seeing it on Facebook," she added.
Cupka, who has been friends with the Franco family since she moved in across the street some 16 years ago, explained how another family also living on her side of the street pitched in to help. "They let them stay in the house so they could make phone calls," said Cupka.
In a bizarre twist, a man "in his fifties" living at the same residence passed away later in the evening due to a heart attack, said Cupka in disbelief. "We were so shocked, we didn't even know it until the next morning when his girlfriend came over and told us."
"From what I understand, I think it was Mr. Nino's (restaurant) came up and said they were very sorry about what happened, and they brought them (the family) down to the restaurant to eat dinner" free-of-charge, explained Cupka. A dry cleaner and others also donated their services.
"I'm surprised at the outpouring of help here," Cupka continued. "With that fire a few years back on Windsor St. there wasn't that much done for those people and it was three houses. With this, it's amazing what they're doing right now."
Cupka described the closeness that she shares with the family that finds itself so sorely in need. "I can't not help the Francos," said Cupka with concern in her voice. For years we've been trading clothes and baby stuff. Every time someone had a baby, we'd switch clothes. We couldn't not help them."
"The Franco family sends their heartfelt thanks to the Kearny Fire and Police Departments and all those that have helped them," said Cupka.
Contributors to the effort include: Mr. Nino's Restaurant, PODS (storage containers), Ozzie's Exxon (U-Haul truck), Comcast Community Bulletin Board (donation information), the Town of Kearny (permits), Kearny Schools (fundraisers), New Visions Development Service (house demolition services), N.J. 12 Television, and many other caring members of the community.
Those wishing to donate goods or money have been asked to contact Donna Cupka at (201) 702-9343, or make arrangements via Facebook at "Help the Franco Family." Clothing sizes and necessary items are listed on the site. Cash donations are also being accepted at PNC bank in the "Franco Family" account.

Not everyone wants to share. Some computer users need a private niche. How firms help clients clamp down on data:
Know your worth. What you like and where you go says a lot about who you are. That's why advertisers use info-grabbing cookies to follow your clicks. Your online activity? "It has value. It's a currency," J.R. Smith, co-author of "Wide Open Privacy," told IBD.
He points out that individuals have become "data subjects," in the words of the European Union's European Commission.
Erase your tracks. Smith's Internet security firm, AVG Technologies, launched a Do Not Track feature last March. The browser add-on lets users block tracking cookies used by websites. So far, it has over 50 million users. "That tells us that people are aware," he said.
Clamp down. Simple ways to reduce your risk of digital intrusion: Turn off your smartphone and disconnect your desktop computer from Wi-Fi each night. That shuts out identity thieves. Also, read user agreements before downloading mobile apps. "What are you agreeing to?" Smith asked. "There are apps that will record what you're saying" without informing you.
File it away. Web surfers don't always want to tell Facebook (FB) friends or Pinterest followers about stuff they like.
"I find a lot of things I don't want to share. Most people do," said Clipix CEO Oded Berkowitz.
His free Web tool helps people organize online finds — the recipes, products and blog posts they want to save for future reference.
By clicking the Clipix browser button, users put those Web-found items in categorized virtual clipboards — for your eyes only, or for selected others to see. "Eighty percent of clips are going into private clipboards," Berkowitz said.
Since last June, users in 91 countries have clipped 2 million items.
Offer options. Clipix users can show their clipped items to certain people — say those you're planning a party with. "You share it with people who care," Berkowitz said.
He also added a price-drop-alert function, which notifies shoppers when a clipped product reaches a desired figure.
Save time. "A killer app for health care."
That's what Omar Hussain, CEO of Imprivata, calls his OneSign single sign-on authentication technology.
Users consider it a lifesaver.
Health care workers tap Imprivata's tool to boot up with a thumbprint or the swipe of a badge, rather than sign in with username and password countless times each shift.
"It was what was stopping clinicians from using technology," Hussain said. "Nurses would lose 45 minutes a day."
Move with them. Hussain decided to focus on health care — then 40% of Imprivata's business — to hone the product for the sector's nuances.
Take this unique factor: Medical workers roam to various computers all day long.
To offer airtight continuity, Imprivata makes computer activity migrate as well.
When a doctor ends a session at one station and starts up at another, "exactly what he was seeing in the last session is in the next session," Hussain said.
Hand it off. Texting is another tool doctors clamored for.
"People want to use their phones," Hussain said, but mobile tools opened the door to privacy violations.
Hussain's team came up with Cortext, a secure, industry-compliant texting app for health care workers to quickly communicate such time-sensitive tidbits as lab results.

Aniruddha Pathak
Many die starved of love
The unkindest of human dread
That can oft hit a man of earth
Scarce of flesh be, nor is blood red,
Which, he's learnt not to live in dearth.
Faults of flesh can well be treated,
If not cured, alleviated;
But none has a hospital made
To cure the pain of loneliness,
None has medicines invented
For despair, as for hopelessness;
Many a man may die for bread—
A mere morsel, a roof above—
More die of hearts not beating red,
And die starv'd of a little love!
_____________________________________________ _

Kim Kardashian Gets a Make-Under for TV Show 'Celebrities Undercover'
- Order Reprints

By Sonam Malik | March 20, 2014 8:22 PM EST
Kim Kardashian recently opted for a make-under for the Oxygen's "Celebrities Undercover" that has left her fans shocked.
REUTERS/Gus Ruelas
Television personality Kim Kardashian arrives at the 2014 Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party in West Hollywood, California March 2, 2014.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star adopted an "Ugly Betty" style to disguise her appearance where she hid her curvaceous figure under a frumpy purple-colored frock. She completed her look by donning curly locks and specs.
Kim looked unrecognizable in her new avatar, as the make-up artist had used puffy face prosthetics and fake teeth to change her look.
In the series produced by Wendy Williams, Kim went undercover to quiz her fans on their Kardashian devotion. However, they had no idea that the lady behind the disguise was the reality star herself.
Kanye West's fiancée, as Cynthia, joined three of her fans who had come to her office thinking they were interviewing to be her assistant. The fans, who were not privy to the fact that they were sitting with their idol, gave Kim an opportunity to test their loyalty.
Even Kourtney Kardashian was unable to recognize her sister. When she arrived with boyfriend Scott Disick during the shooting of the episode, she talked to Cynthia, not recognizing her to be Kim.
Towards end of the episode, Kim revealed her identity by taking out her prosthetic make-up, which left her fans stunned. She gave the group a huge hug for being loyal to her.
Kardashain has a massive fan following, thanks to the reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashians". The reality show star is known for her spectacular fashion sense and voluptuous figure.
Last year, she was criticized all over the press for gaining weight during her pregnancy. But she soon became an inspiration for many by shedding all the baby weight within a few months of giving birth to baby North.
Kim will soon be getting hitched to West in Paris.

Bruce Willis Demanded a Million Dollars a Day to Do The Expendables 3Eamonn McCormack/Getty Images
Yesterday, Sly Stallone took to Twitter to announce Bruce Willis was out on The Expendables 3, in dramatic fashion: "WILLIS OUT … HARRISON FORD IN!!!! GREAT NEWS!!!!! Been waiting years for this!!!!" Stallone and/or his Twitter valet wrote. "GREEDY AND LAZY … A SURE FORMULA FOR CAREER FAILURE." So what the hell was he talking about? Well, according to THR, Willis ended up getting bounced off the movie because of one very small, very specific, totally reasonable demand: He wanted to be paid a million dollars a day to shoot it. I mean, yes, totally, of course. Who wouldn't?!
Says THR: "Willis was offered $3 million for four days of consecutive work on location in Bulgaria for the film. 'He said he'd drop out unless he got $4 million,' [a] source close to the production says. 'A million dollars a day. Stallone and everybody else involved said no.' Stallone then quickly reached out to Ford, who was game to join the Expendables cast." All in all, a pretty amusing scene here. There's Bruce, apparently so bored to tears with Sly's latter-day franchising he could barely bring himself to sleepwalk through four days of work. There's Sly, so angry that he might have just called THR himself to rat Bruce out (and/or had his Twitter valet do it). And then there's Harrison Ford, offering one more explanation as to what the hell he's doing on the set of The Expendables 3: He's getting paid nearly a million dollars a day.

Full Spectrum 2 under way
With the original still warming our CD drives, THQ and Pandemic offer news today that a sequel to Full Spectrum Warrior is already under way at the game's developer, though Pandemic are unsure at this early stage whether to create FSW2 for the current or next-generation of hardware. So, we know it's happening, we're just not sure when or how. Ahem.
In related news Pandemic have also let-slip that the first downloadable content for the game should be coming on October 4th in the form of a new mission titled Epilogue 1. A second mission, Epilogue 2, will also be coming in November apparently, though THQ are still debating whether to release it for a free or as 'Premium' downloadable content.

Happy New Year!
You can see the Star has restored its traditional blue-ribbon nameplate on this first day of 2009.
We have done it as a sign of the renewal of our historic editorial mission and as a symbol of our continuing commitment to our print and online readers in Greater Toronto, across Canada and around the world.
This will be a very challenging year. Our city and nation have been side-swiped by the international financial meltdown.
The sorry consequences of regulatory laxness that permitted a few to become fantastically rich will be borne by all of us over the next few years and most painfully during the next 12 months. While Canadians today remain typically upbeat about their ability to compete and thrive even in the most difficult circumstances, these will be trying times.
This city and this country will need its media to be at its best in 2009, praising what is great, critiquing what should be changed, finding fun and human value in everyday events to offset the strain of hard days.
The Star has always had a unique ability to rise to these kinds of challenges. Its journalistic strength has been built on the Atkinson principles – a commitment to look out for the little guy, to pursue social justice for all and to articulate the passion we all feel for our city and our country.
Restoring the blue-ribbon nameplate is a promise that will be fulfilled in the paper through more investigative reporting, more aggressive economic and business coverage, renewed political reporting and commentary, a sharp focus on breaking news both here and abroad as well as a more attentive eye for what touches our emotions.
And we will strive every day to bring you more intelligent analysis and interpretation of events as they unfold, and to provide more context to help you understand our increasingly complex world.
The Star is the biggest newspaper in the country because it has a tradition of service to the largest constituency of Canadians. It has never seen itself as a vehicle for any particular class or clan or sect.
It speaks to the majority about the needs of minorities. It has always stood for an engaged, empowered citizenry in a strong, united Canada.
The changes at the Star in the days and months ahead will follow the pattern set out here. We will build on the foundations that have made the newspaper great and necessary.
We will listen to our readers and our employees, to our critics and our fans and we will act to make the Star even greater – great for the city, great for the country.
Best wishes for 2009.
