France Millionaire Tax Gets Green LightAlso: France Millionaire Tax, Top News
The so-called France millionaire tax is moving forward after the country's Constitutional Council gave the green light on Sunday, Dec. 29. The tax will be levied on companies that pay salaries of more than $1.38 million a year.France millionaire tax gets the green light on Sunday, Dec. 29
The millionaire tax measure, introduced in line with a pledge by President Francois Hollande to make the rich do more to pull France out of crisis, has infuriated business leaders and soccer clubs, which at one point threatened to go on strike.
It was originally designed as a 75 percent tax to be paid by high earners on the portion of annual income exceeding 1 million euros, but the council rejected it last year, saying it was unfair.
France's top administrative court later said that 66 percent was the legal maximum for individuals.
The French Socialist government has since reworked the millionaire tax to levy it on companies instead, raising the ire of entrepreneurs.
Under its new design, which the council found constitutional, the tax will be a 50 percent levy on the portion of wages above 1 million euros in 2013 and 2014.
Including social contributions, the rate will effectively remain about 75 percent, though the tax will be capped at 5 percent of a company's turnover.
The tax is expected to affect about 470 companies and a dozen soccer clubs, and is forecast to raise approximately 210 million euros a year.
The Constitutional Council, a court comprising judges and former French presidents, has the power to annul laws if they are deemed to violate the constitution.
Tax increases designed to reduce France's budget deficit have fuelled rising discontent in the country, with recent polls giving Hollande the lowest approval rating of any French president on record.
His 2012 supertax election pledge infuriated high earners in France and prompted actor Gerard Depardieu to flee the country. It has also alienated entrepreneurs and foreign investors, who have accused Hollande of being anti-business.
Hollande has said that the wealthy should contribute more to help to repair the country's finances, arguing that the supertax should also encourage companies to curb excessive executive pay.
In Sunday's ruling, the Constitutional Council rejected planned wealth tax measures that it said imposed levies on potential gains – such as those on life insurance policies – and thus risked overestimating a taxpayer's actual resources.

A scenic port town on the east coast of Ireland, Drogheda is the last place you would expect to find a vestige of the Ottoman Empire. Yet an understated plaque hanging on the frontage of the town's bustling Westcourt Hotel tells a very different story.
Unveiled in 1995 by Drogheda Mayor Alderman Godfrey and the then Turkish Ambassador to the Republic of Ireland, Taner Baytok, the plaque, which reads simply "The Great Irish Famine of 1847 -- In remembrance and recognition of the generosity of the People of Turkey towards the People of Ireland," commemorates a surprising act of generosity on behalf of an Ottoman sultan at a period in time when it is likely that the only turkey on the Irish agenda was that of the edible variety. Or indeed perhaps not even that, considering there was a famine going on at the time.
A devastating wave of hunger, which saw approximately 1 million people starve to death and 1 million more flee in search of a better life elsewhere, the great Irish Famine resulted in the island's population dropping by what is estimated to be as much as 25 percent between 1845 and 1852.
Yet in 1847, at a time when the Irish found themselves largely forsaken by the rest of the world, not least their rich neighbors across the water, the Ottoman ruler of the time, Sultan Abdülmecid, who caught wind of the disaster from his Irish doctor, decided to send not only monetary aid to the far off island but also three ships carrying provisions and food supplies.
Legend has it that the sultan had pledged the considerable sum of 10,000 pounds to the cause, but the ruling monarch of the time, Queen Victoria, laid down the law, requesting that he send only a 10th of this because she herself had only donated 2,000 pounds. Abdullah Aymaz noted in an article in The Fountain magazine in 2007 that despite the fact that the British administration did not give permission for the three ships to enter the ports of Belfast or Dublin, the vessels managed to secretly discharge their load in the tranquil town of Drogheda, approximately 70 miles north of Dublin.
An act of kindness which remained largely unknown for many years, the episode entered the wider public consciousness when Irish President Mary McAleese sang the praises of Sultan Abdülmecid on a state visit to Turkey in March 2010, relating how, "at the insistence of the people, the star and crescent of Turkey forms part of the town's coat of arms."
Indeed, to this day a silver star and crescent maintain their place at the top of the Drogheda coat of arms and the official badge of Drogheda United Football Club is simply a red crescent and a star -- the lasting legacy of a historic act of kindness. A letter signed by the Anglo-Irish gentry of the time, now on display at the European Commission office on Dawson Street in Dublin, expresses gratitude to the sultan of the Ottoman Empire for the donation. Sunday's Zaman reported in 2010 that the then Turkish foreign minister, Abdullah Gül, stated in 2004 that copies of documents confirming the donation had been sent to the National Library of Ireland and the Drogheda Municipality.
Amongst those intrigued by the story of 19th-century international comradeship following McAleese's comments in 2010 was Turkish filmmaker Ömer Sarıkaya, who this week announced plans to make a movie, titled "Famine," based on the tale.
"It's a little-known but inspiring story," Sarıkaya told Cihan this week. "I would say 99 percent of the people in Ireland and Turkey know nothing about this episode, which is something we hope to change," he said, adding that since he has expressed his plans to make the movie he has received numerous emails and letters from people in Ireland expressing shame that they did not know of the episode before.
Sarıkaya, who is traveling to Ireland in three weeks time to audition Irish actors for the project, said that 60 percent of the film will be shot in Ireland, while the remainder will be filmed in İstanbul. With filming expected to begin in July, Sarıkaya has his eye on Irish director Neil Jordan to steer the story to the big screen, although this appointment has yet, he says, to be confirmed.
A story of love, jealousy, betrayal, hope and honor, "Famine" will tell the story of an Irish girl, Mary, whose life changes when she meets Fatih, a young Turkish man sent over by the sultan with the aid relief for sufferers of the famine. The two decide to marry and Mary plans to return with Fatih to Turkey. The only problem is that Mary is trapped in an unhappy engagement to James, a fiery Brit who is prepared to do anything to stand in the way of her plans to escape.
"The film will represent the good, the bad and the ugly," Sarıkaya told Cihan, adding, "The good are the Irish, the bad are the English and the ugly is the famine."
Yet the Turkish filmmaker is keen to attest that the focus of the film is not on the Irish-English divide but on the unlikely union between Turkey and Ireland, two countries separated by 4,000 miles. "The characters may be fictional but the film is based on the true story of Turkey lending a charitable hand to Ireland during their hour of need," he said.
Ireland and Turkey are certainly not the most potent of international allies. However, despite the fact that Sultan Abdülmecid's random act of kindness was little spoken of for many years, it forged a small bond between the two nations which lives on to this day.
In 2007 Turkish journalist Aymaz delivered an account of an interesting memory of Yahya Kemal Beyatlı, a former Turkish ambassador who participated in the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923. According to Beyatlı, whilst each of the representatives from the Allied powers voted in unison against Turkey, the delegate from Ireland was an exception, raising his hand in favor of Turkey for each vote. When questioned why he had acted so, the representative said: "When we suffered from famine and disease, your Ottoman ancestors shipped loads of food and monetary donations. We have never forgotten the friendly hand extended to us in our difficult times. Your nation deserves to be supported on every occasion."
In an age where humanitarian aid has become an ordinary phenomenon, it may be easy to understate the goodwill of such an action. But for those starving citizens who greeted the Ottoman ships in Drogheda in 1847, Sultan Abdülmecid's gesture would have been seen for what it truly was: an unprecedented and progressive act of humanity.

38 year old man | Orlando, FL, USA | Seeking women 27-41 within 1000 miles
Love is not merely an emotion. It's a decision on how you will behave and treat other people.
I'm a strong, confident, sensitive and debonair gentleman that keeps his cool, shows his kindness and does everything with love and compassion. I live life for love, faith and adventure! I have an angelic spirit and walk with a bulletproof soul. In my life I've learned to love is to be vulnerable. Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change. It greatly benefits us to have the courage to embrace our imperfections and begin living life from the vantage point of authenticity and worthiness. My desire is to develop a solid friendship foundation that has the power to grow into an everlasting, delicious, enduring, delightful, romantic, hot, passion filled, deeply connected and life changing love affair with marriage, children and family. My hope is for my partner and I to help eachother focus and cultivate in our relationship and life together the fulfilling, meaningful and satisfying beautiful elements of trust, sincere love, forgiveness, tolerance, kindness, peace, compassion, faith, loyalty, open-honest-reliable communication, patience, affection, dependability, teamwork, understanding, consideration, compromise, courtship, commitment, and supportiveness. I value the strength and stability that comes from being equally yoked, like minded, having a similar vision for our lives and being on the same accord as it relates spirituality, principles of love and character, values, beliefs, maintaining and sustaining a healthy relationship and marriage, raising children, self improvement, our financial future and retirement plan, our outlook and mindset on life and how to maintain everything we stand for with solidarity. From this incredible infrastructure I believe our life together with our family will be a rewarding, elevating, empowering and enriching experience. My future partner and I will have our differences which we can find strength in and comfort where we overlap. The top five most fundamental attributes and substance that makes up the essence of my partner and I of which we can always count on is: 1. Live a lifestyle of faith, be complete and maintain a daily relationship with God (this isn't about going to church daily it's leaning on Gods understanding of how we think, love, learn and live and in turn he makes our paths straight) . 2. Have consistent great character, conduct and behavior. 3. Practice patience in all that we do, speak and think which creates serenity, persistence and mutual acceptance of our impurities, imperfections, needs and insanities. 4. Help eachother further our goals, dreams, hopes, aspirations and future. 5. Be kind and sweet to eachother even when we don't understand eachother or have a difficulty. The rest will take care of itself and we can enjoy the fullness of life and happiness with grace, gratitude, excitement, joy, miracle and love. My arms are openly waiting for you my Queen to protect you with my honor, soft touch, gentle kiss and leadership! You be my Saturday, I'll be your Sunday and together we'll make the perfect weekend!

Spares,a very violent futuristic thriller,starts promisingly enough as Jack Randall,the main protagonist,attempts to give a group of "spares",the result of an obscene and inhuman cloning programme,a better existence.

Before I read this book I always assumed Sci-Fi books were stories about weird aliens – written by geeks, for geeks. My friend lent me this book and I wasn't really expecting it to be any good.
I was hooked from the first page. The world the story is based in is very, very cool. I now understand the term, cyber-punk. Drug-dealing, gun-totting, nutters living in a high-tech world, populated with scum.
The book is a detective story set in a huge shopping centre. The shopping centre used to travel from continent to continent (it can fly) but broke down and never resumed its journey. It's a massive self-contained city, 100's of floors high. The scum live at the bottom and the rich at the top. The detective is the, rapt-addicted, janitor of the "spares" farm. He determines to set right the injustices that the spares have suffered. In doing this, he has to confront his, very dark, past.
I read the book in one sitting. I started reading it at about 11.00pm and was reading it for so long that I didn't go to university the next day.
I concur with the other reviews on this page. This is one of the only books I've read that I didn't want to end.

5.0 out of 5 stars Your new favourite author...,
N. Davies - See all my reviews
...I'm not kidding - I picked up a copy of Spares in a second hand bookshop a few years ago, thinking (from the blurb on the back) that it sounded like a good way to waste a couple of hours.
After reading this book I immediately went out and ordered 'Only Forward' and 'One of Us' (this was before MMS's books were readily available)
'Spares' is about a man (Jack Randall) trying to give a scrap of humanity to the Spares (clones of humans that can be harvested for spare parts should something happen to their real life counterparts) he is in charge of by introducing them to the real world and releasing them from the farm where they were kept. Jack Randall is a man trying to escape from his past, but ultimately ends up falling face first back into it.
Michael Marshall Smith creates a future world that is bizarre, but also, somehow believable - it all makes sense in some weird pseudo-science way, everything has a half plausible explanation.
I love this book because you can savour every line, there is something interesting in each and every sentence. I love the future world it creates, the character of Jack Randall - the way he thinks and talks and especially New Richmond.
You will not regret buying this book, I have lent my (now very battered) copy to several people who have immediately begged to borrow my other Michael Marshall Smith books or gone out to buy their own.
If you enjoy this book can I also suggest 'Only Forward' and 'One of Us' along with the book of short (and somewhat disturbing) stories 'What You Make It' all by Michael Marshall Smith.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb, disturbing story, puntuated by dark cynical humour,
M. Brown "mumof2" (Essex) - See all my reviews
I enjoyed the first few pages of Spares more than any other begining to a book I have ever read. It draws the reader into the pace of the narrative and is then maintained for the rest of the book. Other reviews will tell you how great the plot is, which is undoubtedly true. It could be made into a great film although some of the sureal locations the text visit would probably end up being cut out of the script;a shame as they are hugely interesting places to visit in ones own imagination. The book is brimming with ideas that I would guess Michael had been incubating for years. Humorus and perverse scenes that make you grin to yourself give the reader a needed rest from the deeply disturbing main theme of the story. I first read Spares about three years ago and every advance I learn about in genetic engineering brings the warnings within this book back to my mind.There is a great deal of the author in the hero of the story, so if you have read other novels by Michael then reading Spares will give a good insight into his character (I used to know MMS quite well and I recognise much of him in the main character).Spares is a wonderful read that I would recommended to anyone because it is both easy to read and imaginatively stimulating. .....Great Science Fiction Chewie!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lend Me Your Ears,
'Spares' is without doubt one of my favourite novels, jostling for the top-spot only with William Gibson's seminal 'Neuromancer'. In three years I've read it twice and, once I get through all the 'perfect partners' I've picked up on Amazon, it's something I'll definitely read again. From the opening, one-word paragraph you can't help be hooked: a simple "Widescreen" and Smith has you. He won't let you go until the very end.
This is the story of Jack Randall, a man who has managed to destroy his life so completely that he's found himself stuck as the janitor of a Spare Farm. His wife and child have been murdered, girlfriend obliterated in a gang attack in the city of the New Richmond, his old home is a cesspool of people who want him dead. Or worse. But despite being a drug-idled, cheating, corrupt ex-cop and once an even more addicted soldier, Randall still has a heart: he lets the Spares out of their cages, starts teaching a group of them how to be 'human', as he sees it. Off the drugs, and with the help of Ratchet, a service droid and probably the most human character in this world, Randall decides to free the Spares... But someone has different ideas and Randall's road to salvation will take him deep into his own past, the past he's fought so long to avoid.
The structure and themes, Smith's insight and his wonderful sense of humour all bring to mind his debut 'Only Forwards', another great book. But it is still 'Spares' that strikes me as the better book: in 'Spares' Smith has allowed himself much greater scope to inflict his imagination on the world.
Smith's instinct for horror permeates greater than simple shocking scenes; he can invent concepts so frightening they can only be inevitable. At the Farm we are introduced to the Spares, cloned humans kept in caves without human contact - until the human they were cloned from has an accident and needs a replacement organ. On this level, the only work I can compare it to is Aldous Huxley's brilliant 'Brave New World'.
Even the city itself outlines Smith's vast, ironic imagination: a giant, flying shopping mall that landed one day, liked the view of the riot-torn Old Richmond and decided to stay. The description, outline in the prologue, sets the scene for a brilliant drawn new world that Smith knows intricately, setting scenes from the exhaust system of the old mall to the church the new city's most powerful citizen has built in honour of himself.
Plot, characters, pace, action, setting, themes... everything about this book is a genre-fiction readers wet dream - it's hard to imagine how it can ever be out-done and like 'Neuromancer' it probably never will be. It's hard to understand why Steven Spielberg opted to make 'Minor Report' when he had this on his desk, but perhaps Tom Cruise wasn't happy playing a character as bad as Randall.
Buy it, read it, tell your friends to read it and a few strangers too. Then get Hollywood to make the movie, just so more people will read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An involving mix of noir mystery and science fiction.,
By A Customer
Michael Marshall Smith is a great new writer with a very unique and invividual voice. Coming on the heels of his debut, _Only Forward_, _Spares_ confirms that he is definitely someone to watch!
Some reviewers have faulted Smith for attempting to shoehorn too many diverse ideas into a single book, or for creating such an unlikeable person in his protagonist, Jack Randall. Depending on your point of view, this may be a valid criticism. For me, the mix worked and worked in a magical way I come across all too infrequently in my reading these days.
Jack is a drug-addicted former policeman in the surreal future world of New Richmond, Virginia, a grounded MegaMall which has been taken over as the basis for a city. On the run with a group of spares (clones created so that their body parts may be harvested, should the original ever need a replacement) he's liberated from a Farm, Jack comes up against the same forces which necessitated his escape five years previously. Throw in the Gap, a strange, interdimensional reality, not quite analagous to cyberspace but similar, in which a war was fought 20 years ago, a war Jack and several of the other characters are veterans of, and the book is almost overflowing with ideas, originality, and an amazing level of energy.
If you're a fan of cross-genre mixes, hardboiled/sci-fi, this book is definitely worth your while. Even if you're not, this is still worth a try. Smith is one of the most inventive and interesting new writers to come along in the past few years. Based on his first two novels and a number of his short stories, including "More Tomorrow," an excellent Internet horror tale, I'd say it's obvious Smith has quite a future ahead of him and, for now, a dedicated new fan in this critic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mind-alteringly brilliant,
Superb writing skill, takes you on a journey to places you'd rather not know existed. To places you do not want to go but cannot do anything but willingly follow.
The story and style simply hooks you on page one and doesn't let go until the last page - prepare for sleepless nights (for more than one reason).
This is the book that the word 'dark' has been waiting for, no other description fits. Darkest book I have ever read - imagery painfully graphic and descriptive on an unprecedented scale. Humour at its most blackest and unexpected, often diffusing the most grotesque of situations.
One of the very few books I can read repeatedly, cannot recommend highly enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - Almost as good as Only Forward,
Mr. Paul S. Bird "dagadadagada" (Aylesbury) - See all my reviews
I loved this book. MMS is a fantastic writer, one of a rare breed who prize imagination and originality. I'd put him up there with Jeff Noon and Jonathan Carroll. His work is very hard to categorise as it crosses genres and expectations - often within the same story. This book is superb. It starts with a great premise and builds on it, then gives you a disturbing and thought provoking idea. There's a real and genuine moral issue here - one that is become more possible each day.
Before the book was even published, I hear Spielberg had optioned it for a huge sum. Now, this is good - the book will make a superb film, but I wonder if the ending was re-written to fit into the Hollywood slot? To me, the book's only flaw is the, admitedly well written, chase-and-escape style ending. It doesn't quite fit in with the rest of the tone, to me - but that's just my opinion. It's still great and you should buy it.
I was lucky enough to meet MMS at a book signing in Manchester - if you ever get the chance to see and hear him read his own work - go - he's a star!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, brutal and dark all at once,
Anon (Newcastle, UK) - See all my reviews
I had read "Only Forward" and "One Of Us" before I bought Spares for 25p out of a bargain bin at my local library (sorry, Amazon), and "SPares" definately did not disappoint me.
As with the other two MMS novels I've read, "Spares" starts off setting an amusing, dark and crime-ridden scene, before introducing the inexplicably likeable hero, and continues in this vein for about half the book.
Then, still in pattern, it delves into a much, much stranger kind of novel, one with wonderful similes and atmospheric adjectives, but nevertheless very dark and brutal to read. In "Spares" this stage takes place in the Gap, a Vietnam-like land, where the central character served time when he was about 22, killing while on hard drugs.
MMS seems to have a talent for this kind of description - while the Gap, Jeamland and the strange ideas from "One Of Us" are all bizarre and twisted, there is something in the idea that you end up feeling an affinity for.
Sadly, and this is perhaps the only negative point I have about the novel, most of the humour also goes with the change of pace (except for one page which had me in hysterics, in the middle of an especially unfunny segment - but it worked, nonetheless). This is a pity, since MMS's humour is some of the best I've ever read, but the book still works without it.
In short, it might be a better idea to buy "Only Forward" before "Spares", but you will love it anyway. I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars The modern day Phillip K Dick-Surrealism take a bow.,
By A Customer
What can I say to justify this book,an explosion of mind numbing brilliance.I've often felt a lot of todays S.F. tend to forget a good book needs a good story,and a good story needs characters the reader can or would like too identify with, not just pages that could couple as a Technical index manual.Well this book does that and then some.I found myself not only rooting for the main character "Jack Randall" but also cheering for the bit part players.All in all this is a must read book and not just for the sci-fi buff but for all people who want to enter the strange and facinating place somewhere in the depts of the imagination.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good start, shame about the end (again),
Tim Tatton (Winchester, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Another excellent book from Mr Smith. If you have read and enjoyed his other works you will also enjoy this. Everything is here: the likable hero, the excellent settings, the talking appliances(!) Unfortunatly, so is the usual rushed and disapointing final third. Just as in 'only forward' and 'one of us' the book starts very well and really gets the reader lost in the bizarre world Smith has created (this time involving mutilated clones and a city in a giant block of flats!), but then starts to lose it just over half way through.
I don't know if Smith loses interest in his original idea or just gets stuck, but the book suddenly changes direction into a completely different story - one thats not as good. The final third is just too far fetched and seems to have little to do with anything else that went before.
However, the first half of the book is just so good you can forgive Smith for the rather lackluster conclusion (again!)

Thieves strip Boscawen Christmas tree for 2nd time in week
BOSCAWEN - The bottom half of a Boscawen Christmas tree has gone dark again, after a 50-foot string of lights was reported stolen for the second time in six days.
Located atop an island that marks the split between Routes 3 and 4, the tree has become a beloved sign of the season for travelers over the last few decades, according to Fire Chief Ray Fisher, whose department decorates the tree.
Local firefighters volunteer their time to string up the lights, as well as the funds to pay for the electricity to illuminate them through New Year's Day, he said. That's why the news that the lights had been stolen not once, but twice, hit Fisher hard.
"I really can't say what my reaction was, because you can't print those words," Fisher said Sunday night. "I was B.S., let's just say that. It's something the guys enjoy doing, and people love seeing, but I don't know what our next move will be. I don't want to keep putting up new lights so people can take them."
He said he will meet with fire department members tonight to determine whether they should replace the strand a third time.
"My gut feeling is that they will want to replace them, but we'll have to see," said Fisher. "That's what I want to do. I just don't know why someone would do this. It just gets you so angry."
Fisher said for years a real tree growing in the traffic circle was decorated by a snowmobile club. Once that tree grew too tall, town staff began placing a Christmas tree on the traffic island, which fire personnel now decorate. Fisher said it's a job they have gladly taken on for the past eight or nine years.
"This year the tree looked really nice," said Fisher. "We went and purchased new 50-foot strings of LED lights, and they looked really good on it. They were on there last Monday, but then by early Tuesday the lights on the lower part of the tree were gone."
Fisher said he purchased another 50-foot string of LED lights, and once again placed them on the tree, this time securing them with tie-wraps.
The tie-wraps were cut and the lights removed sometime early Saturday, he said. The tree had several branches broken off.
Fisher said Boscawen police are investigating.
"I think the first time, it was someone looking to get a free set of new lights," Fisher said. "The second time, I'm not sure. That could have been spiteful."

The moccasin has long been considered as one of the most comfortable shoes, but the Old Friend Loafer Moccasin takes that notion of comfort and improves upon it. A 100% sheepskin insole surrounds feet with warmth and softness while the raised toe area provides feet plenty of ''wiggle room.'' A cinch tie keeps the Loafer Moccasin firmly on your foot while the rubber sole keeps your foot firmly on the floor. Sheepskin Care Instructions Do not immerse in water. Clean suede leather with a damp cloth and diluted, mild detergent such as Ivory liquid. Rinse cloth and rub again. Remove moisture immediately with a dry cloth. Rub sheepskin fleece with a wet cloth and mild detergent. Repeat with rinse water and remove moisture with a dry cloth. Brush fleece lightly to renew nap. Always dry your slippers in the shade, never in direct sunlight. Sheepskin can be freshened with baking soda. Sprinkle baking soda over fleece, let it stand overnight, shake and or vacuum the fleece out the next day. You can also spray lightly with an anti-bacterial spray. Let spray dry before using slipper. About Old Friend Slippers Since 1981, Old Friend Slippers has developed a line of slippers unmatched by competitors. Their process produces an almost silk-like feel to their sheepskin, which not only satisfies the end user, but aids in the buying decision. They've removed all textile bindings in favor of garment grade pigskin and have sewn-in detail to avoid any chance of irritants coming in contact with bare feet. Old Friend was also among the first to offer a 100% sheepskin insole instead of the cheaper processed wool used by many. Truly sheepskin specialists, Old Friend offers ''wides'' and extra large sizes, along with a variety of styles. 100% sheepskin insoles. Available in various men's sizes.

|Giants hold Packers' run game, former teammate Grant in check
|Written by Admin
|Sunday, 20 January 2008 19:43
A week after setting a franchise postseason record with 201 yards rushing, the New York Giants held their former teammate to only 29 yards on 13 carries in their 23-20 overtime victory over the Packers in the NFC Championship game at Lambeau Field.
``They shut down the run pretty well, so we had to try some different things passing the ball,'' Grant said. ``But we tried to stay with it - they just played better than us.''
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the offensive line didn't do a good enough job knocking the Giants' defensive line off the ball, then blamed himself for not sticking with the run in his play-calling
The Giants traded Grant to the Packers for a sixth-round draft pick a week before the start of the season, and were worried the move was going to come back to haunt them in the playoffs.
Instead, they shut him down.
``The first thing we wanted to do was stop the run,'' Giants defensive end Michael Strain said. ``Ryan Grant had a great game last week. Stopping the run was very key. We did a great job holding them to under 20-something yards, which is outstanding.''
After turning the Packers into a one-dimensional offense, the Giants were free to tee off on Favre in the pass rush. They didn't sack him, but Strain said they made him uncomfortable.
``We didn't have to sack him,'' Strain said. ``We just had to make him uncomfortable in the pocket.''
BURRESS' BIG DAY: The Green Bay Packers couldn't find an answer for Giants receiver Plaxico Burress, who caught 11 passes for 154 yards on Sunday - most of them against Packers ace cornerback Al Harris.
Harris is used to taking the opposing team's best receiver, and usually shuts him down.
However, Burress didn't seem impressed after Sunday's game, saying Harris is tough to beat off the line but ``doesn't really have great speed.''
Burress said the Giants determined in film study this week that Harris' aggressive brand of bump-and-run coverage leaves him vulnerable to jump balls.
``We just pretty much played to his weakness tonight,'' Burress said. ``He pretty much played bump-and-run and we took advantage of it.''
Harris said he wasn't surprised the Giants tried to go to Burress.
``He's their guy,'' Harris said. ``They didn't do anything that we weren't expecting. We knew they were going to be giving him the back-shoulder throws and things of that nature. But, hey, he made some good catches. Hats off to him.''
Was Burress the best receiver Harris has covered this year?
``No,'' Harris said. ``But I've got a lot of respect for the gentleman. I think he played well, and they did a good job.''
ROAD WARRIORS: With Sunday's victory, the New York Giants haven't lost a road game since their Sept. 9 season opener.
Starting with their rally from a 17-3 halftime deficit in their Sept. 23 game at Washington, the Giants have won 10 straight road games. They even won a road game on the other side of the Atlantic, beating the Miami Dolphins in London.
``Ten straight, looking for 11,'' Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce said. ``Our next one is a road game, too. That's how we're treating it. It's just a mentality.''
It hasn't been easy, as the Giants trailed in all three playoff games, at Tampa, Dallas and Sunday in Green Bay.
``It'd difficult,'' Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. ``All these games that we've won on the road, every place that we've gone. It wasn't easy to go to Dallas, it wasn't easy to go to Tampa and it's certainly not easy to come here.''
Especially not with subzero temperatures at Lambeau Field.
``I don't know what anybody else says, it was cold out there,'' Pierce said. ``We didn't focus on that. We had a game to play, and guys made up their minds with regard to the weather, and regardless of the score and regardless of what was going on, we were going to come away with a win.''
CONTRACT TALKS: Now that the season is over, the Green Bay Packers will turn to completing a contract extension for McCarthy.
``We've still been talking,'' Packers general manager Ted Thompson said. ``A lot of people are jumping the gun there.''
Packers chairman Bob Harlan said Friday negotiations between the team and McCarthy are progressing well but are not complete.
``The signed copy has not crossed my desk yet,'' Harlan said.
The Green Bay Press-Gazette reported on its Web site Friday that McCarthy and the team have agreed in principle to a five-year deal worth about $4 million per season, citing an unnamed NFL source.
McCarthy confirmed earlier this week that the two sides were making progress on a new deal, but didn't seem eager to talk about it for fear that it could create a distraction going into Sunday's game.
McCarthy has a year left on the original three-year deal he signed in January 2006, but NFL teams often try to lock up valued coaches before the final season of their contract. That would be especially true when a coach leads the league's youngest team to a 13-3 regular-season record and a playoff victory, as McCarthy did this season.
Packers officials have said publicly they hope to have a new deal with McCarthy in place before the Super Bowl, a move that would provide long-term stability to at three of the team's most important management positions.
Earlier this month, the Packers gave a five-year contract extension to Thompson. And last month, former Northwestern athletic director Mark Murphy was chosen to become the successor to Harlan, the Packers longtime top executive.
Thompson said while Sunday's loss stings, the Packers improved greatly in 2007.
``We'll have time to reflect on things like that,'' Thompson said. ``Right now, I just feel bad for our guys.''

Jennifer Lopez - Live It Up
Artist: Jennifer Lopez
Featuring: Pitbull
Producer: Red One
Album: None (Promo Single)
Avg Rating: 1.7 ( 10 votes )
Previously heard collaborating on 2011's On the Floor and '12's Dance Again, pop heavyweight Jennifer Lopez and Latin-rap hitmaker Pitbull once again combine their powers on Live It Up, the former artist's latest promo single. Those familiar with the aforementioned jams know pretty much exactly what to expect here: an adrenaline-pumping, neon-streaked club banger exhorting listeners to let go of their inhibitions and party the night away. While Pit delivers a brisk opening verse over RedOne's dancefloor-scorching production, his key contribution to the record is the insidiously catchy tagline, "Make love, don't fight. (kiss, kiss, popping cork) / Let's f**k tonight." Though this record isn't attached to any larger J-Lo project, listeners craving more club-ready grooves would do well to check out her collaborator's current hit single, Feel the Moment.
