JON CARDINELLI watched the Sharks beat the Lions 32-20 to end their winless run in the 2012 Super Rugby competition.
The Sharks were hammered by the Bulls at Loftus Versfeld and pipped by the Stormers at Newlands. They came into this clash desperately needing any kind of win, no matter how ugly.
From a results perspective, the men from Durban will be satisfied. They not only claimed their first win of the season but also a bonus-point for four tries. It may have taken them three games, but they are finally off the mark.
It was a stop-start game at Kings Park with both teams surrendering possession all too easily. The Sharks conceded a mass of penalties at the breakdown and also coughed up the ball in the tackle on too many occasions.
The Lions attempted to play the game at a lively pace but displayed very little control. Their counter-attacking surges often came to nought and coach John Mitchell will be livid with the high number of turnovers.
What helped the Sharks was their appreciation for territory. Flyhalf Pat Lambie had his best game of the season thus far, kicking the hosts into good field positions. He also converted some difficult goals during the first half to ensure the Sharks went to the shed with a substantial lead.
It was before the break where the Sharks scored the try of the game. The forwards finally managed to marry power and precision, keeping the ball through the phases to stretch the Lions' defence. It was also during this movement that the Sharks backs showed some good hands, getting the ball to winger Lwazi Mvovo who highlighted his value as a finisher with a superb score.
For all their handling mistakes and lost possessions, the Lions just kept coming and coming. They marched the Sharks back towards the tryline and then struck through fullback Jaco Taute, who wrestled his way through several defenders to score.
It was an important strike on the hour, and ensured the Lions went into the final quarter with a chance of an upset.
Along with their inconsistencies at the breakdown, the Sharks battled to secure the ball at the lineout. Bismarck du Plessis failed to find his jumpers consistently and this robbed the hosts of a good attacking platform.
And yet, the Sharks still managed to get the ball back, such was the loose nature of this contest. As the game entered the final 10 minutes, neither team managed to control the ball and counter-attack after counter-attack was launched.
Again, it was the Sharks that came through a scrappy period of play as the big winners. Meyer Bosman latching onto the final pass to score what many believed was the clincher. At 27-13, the game was all but over.
But the Lions scored in the 75th minute through reserve prop Ruan Dreyer, and Butch James's conversion set up a frantic finish. The Sharks were placed under pressure by a desperate Lions side, and it took a big tackle by Marcell Coetzee to win the ball back.
A kickable penalty was turned down by Sharks captain Keegan Daniel as the hosts set up a lineout deep in Lions territory. And to the delight of the Kings Park faithful, the Sharks finished the second half as they had the first, with a rare blend of power and precision.
On this occasion, Du Plessis found his jumper to set up the maul, and the forwards bulldozed their way over the line. Jacques Botes emerged from a pile of bodies and the referee awarded what was the bonus-point try.
While the Sharks may have finished this game strongly and 12 points ahead of the opposition, they will know that there is much to do before they meet the Reds next week. The game against the Lions was in the balance until the final minutes, and the Sharks will need to address their inconsistencies at the breakdown and lineout if they hope to challenge the better teams.

Erazem Lorbek had a temperature on Saturday.
The Barcelona Regal big man felt so bad that he couldn't attend the morning shoot-around before their deciding fifth game in the Spanish Liga Endesa play-off finals against Real Madrid at the Palau Blaugrana.
When it was time to play, though, Lorbek didn't stay away.
The Slovenia international, who will be a leading player at next year's EuroBasket when his country hosts the Final Round, played almost 28 minutes and had 10 points and six rebounds to help Barca grind out a 73-69 victory.
Barcelona defended their title, and Lorbek was named MVP of the finals.
Real Madrid had blown Barcelona out in Game 3 in the Spanish capital to take a 2-1 lead but Pablo Laso's side wasn't able to stop the Catalans in Game 4 and lost, 81-75, with Lorbek pouring in 24 points.
Lorbek made sure to praise Madrid, who had an outstanding season in which they won the Copa del Rey.
"Congratulations also to Real Madrid," Lorbek said.
"They played very well.
"It was a very hard final but the key was to be able to play the last game at home."
Had Lorbek not been named MVP, CJ Wallace would have been deserving.
After scoring 16 points, corralling six rebounds and swatting three shots in the pivotal Game 4, he had five points and eight rebounds in Game 5.
The other Barcelona player who played like a man possessed on Saturday was Fran Vazquez.
The center had 16 points, eight rebounds and four blocks.
Real Madrid had an almighty struggle just to stay in the game and were it not for the brilliant performance by Sergio Llull, they might have lost more decisively.
Llull scored 12 points, most of them on drives to the basket in the second half.
Jaycee Carroll kept Real Madrid's hopes alive when he buried a late three-pointer to cut the Barca lead to 68-65.
Madrid had to foul to stop the clock and they put Pete Mickael on the line.
The American made both attempts for a five point advantage.
Kyle Singler then buried a three from the right corner to cut the deficit to 70-68 with six seconds to play.
Madrid again fouled Mickael and this time, he made just one of two.
Barcelona decided to foul Sergio Rodriguez with just under three seconds remaining, so as not to allow him to attempt a potential game-tying three-ball.
Rodriguez made the first free-throw but intentionally missed the second.
However, Madrid were called for entering the lane too early and Barcelona received possession.
The visitors fouled Wallace and he made the two free-throws for the 73-69 final result.

2001 Ford Mustang Problem Reports
Most Reported 2001 Ford Mustang Problem Reports
It is not uncommon for the intake manifold and/or valve cover gaskets to develop a coolant or oil leak. Leakage from the intake manifold may result in coolant in the engine oil. Coolant mixing with the engine oil severally impacts the lubrication ability of the oil. Internal engine may result if this condition is not repaired promptly.
A creak/pop noise while turning may mean that updated steering rack bushing tubes need to be installed.
The magnet for the camshaft position sensor may fall out of its mount and damage the synchronizers. This causes long crank times when starting the engine and may cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. If this happens, both the magnets and the synchronizers need to be replaced.
The adhesive holding the glass convertible window gives out and the window delaminates from the outer convertible shell. I used 3M VHB 2-sided adhesive tape (the same type that is used to hold glass panels to the outside of skyscrapers) to hold the window back in. It worked great, but long term effectiveness is still unknown.

The Shark touring squad sees some familiar faces thrown in with a few surprises.
We are well aware that Ryan Kankowski will not tour but nobody saw the inclusion of Derick Minnie as the reason that Plumtree can risk going to New Zealand and Australia without the experienced Kankowski. After speculation about JP Pietersen's injury, he has been included in the squad.
Derick Minnie is one of three Lions recruits in the touring squad, joining team mates Franco van der Merwe and Andries Coetzee.
Another surprise inclusion is that of Piet Lindeque, who was with the Sharks for three years before leaving to play Varsity Cup for Tuks. He had since been recalled straight into the touring party, after being seen as surplus to requirements.
Another youngster amongst the party is Alan Dell, who will cover the front row in case of Tendai Mtawarira going down. After some speculation, Frans Steyn has been included after all.

Whether you've recently adopted a dog or you're considering it, one of the most important health decisions you'll make is whether to spay or neuter your new pet.
When it comes to "fixing" male dogs, specifically, there's a lot of misinformation swirling around. ("It'll make my dog fat" and "it'll change his personality" are two common myths that we'd like to bust forever!) Some pet parents even express guilt over neutering their dogs. But trust us, he doesn't mind, and here's why:
Neutering provides major health benefits.
Besides preventing unwanted litters, neutering your male pup prevents testicular cancer and significantly reduces the chance of certain prostate problems as he ages.
Your neutered male will be more at peace.
Neutering won't affect your dog's working abilities, friendliness or playfulness! However, it will likely reduce undesirable, sometimes dangerous behaviors including urine marking, attempts to roam away from home, aggression toward other dogs and inappropriate mounting. These things stress everybody out—including him.
He won't become a deadbeat dad.
Every year, millions of dogs of all ages and breeds are euthanized or suffer as strays. You wouldn't want your beloved pooch to be responsible for creating yet another unplanned litter, would you?
Many states and counties have established safe, low-cost spay/neuter programs that make surgery easily affordable and accessible. To find an affordable program near you, search our Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Provider Database. If you're in New York City, the ASPCA mobile spay/neuter clinic offers partially or fully subsidized spay/neuter surgery for low-income dog and cat owners in the five boroughs.
WELL SAID! Many law enforcement or working dogs are spayed n neutered n are still aggressive, assertive n love to work. They listen better, pay attention better n are not looking to go breed. Many unaltered male dogs are skinny n become very stressed when trying to find a female to breed. We all know that stress is not healthy on the body n helps to trigger cancers n other health issues.
I am absolutely APPALLED at the lack of information displayed by many of the commentators here!! People! I can't understand how you can discount YEARS of scientific research that proves, unequivocally, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the TOTAL BENEFITS of spaying and neutering - with nearly ZERO downside!
I'm sorry to be the one to break the news, but if your dog is fat...it's YOUR FAULT. Additionally, if the spay/neuter is performed either very young or before puberty, there is NO personality change. If your dog's personality appeared to change when he or she was about 3 years old, guess what? They simply became adults instead of puppies.
There is, "beyond shadow of doubt", scientifically proven research that spaying and neutering increases chances of disease, urinary infections and bowel incompetence.
Could you please site your references, their research, and the websites we can find them on?
There is, "beyond shadow of doubt", scientifically proven research that spaying and neutering increases chances of disease, urinary infections and bowel incompetence.
Keep it natural if you're a responsible owner. They are there for a reason. Re Cancers stop feeding that awful GMO, hormone, antibiotic DDD laced food and toxic flea cocktails
• if done before 1 year of age, significantly increases the risk of osteosarcoma (bone cancer); this is a common cancer in medium/large and larger breeds with a poor prognosis.
• increases the risk of cardiac hemangiosarcoma by a factor of 1.6
• triples the risk of hypothyroidism
• increases the risk of progressive geriatric cognitive impairment
• triples the risk of obesity, a common health problem in dogs with many associated health problems
• quadruples the small risk (<0.6%) of prostate cancer
• doubles the small risk (<1%) of urinary tract cancers
• increases the risk of orthopedic disorders
• increases the risk of adverse reactions to vaccinations

Chrysler offers the most technolgy available in a minivan (or any car for that matter)
Aug 10, 2009 by Jefferson Bryant.
Just 10 years ago, getting a TV in your car was a challenge. Cutting up the head rests or paying $3,000 for a small flip-down tv was commonplace. In 2009, just about every minivan has a rear-seat entertainment system from the factory, and SUVs come with the option available. OEM technology has finally caught up […]

Focal Supplier Opportunism in Supermarket Retailer Category Management
2007, Journal of Operations Management
Neil A. Morgan, Anna Kaleka, Richard A. Gooner
Common prescriptions for improving the performance of supermarket retailers center on using key suppliers as "category
captains" and leveraging their resources and capabilities to implement effective category management that will both reduce retailer costs and provide a basis for differentiation. However, despite these widespread prescriptions, the potential for supplier opportunism means that supermarket retailers are either skeptical or have failed to make such category management relationships with key suppliers work. Drawing on agency, transaction costs, and network theory, we synthesize insights from qualitative fieldwork with retailer and supplier managers and primary data from 73 category managers in U.K. supermarket retailers to empirically examine antecedents and consequences of category-level focal supplier opportunism. Our findings suggest that focal supplier opportunism decreases retailer category performance and increases militant behaviors among non-focal suppliers in the category supply chain. Consistent with retailer fears, we find that focal suppliers with significant influence in retailers' category management efforts are more likely to engage in opportunistic behavior. However, our results also reveal that retailer fears that being dependent on a focal supplier will lead to greater supplier opportunism are largely unfounded, while supplier dependence on the retailer is also unrelated to focal supplier opportunism. Finally, we find that retailers' ability to monitor – but not to punish – its focal suppliers is negatively related to opportunistic behavior among focal suppliers.

National Geographic Names Reno One of America's Best Adventure Towns
National Geographic released its ultimate, state-by-state guide to the top outdoor hubs in the U.S., selecting only 100 towns. The criteria – the town must offer something for everyone. It's no surprise Reno, Nevada was selected to be on the list with year-round special events, hiking, skiing, cycling, kayaking, climbing, snowboarding, fine dining…the list could go on. (And it does!)
In the words of NatGeo, "Reno's hospitality jobs, a refurbished downtown, and a new $1.5 million white water park—all reasons enough to stick around for awhile." We know that's why we're here!
Check out the interactive map to see which other cities and towns made the list. While you're there, be sure to share your favorite restaurants, hotels and Reno Tahoe adventures with National Geographic!

STOCKTON - Two men were robbed at gunpoint while walking in the 1200 block of Lloyd Thayer Circle late Friday night, authorities said.
The robbery occurred at about 10:45 p.m. The victims, ages 20 and 21, told police they were approached by three men in a white four-door Honda. One of the men got out of the car and started talking to the victims while the other two exited the vehicle and pointed handguns at them, police said.
The robbers demanded the victims' property and fled the scene in the Honda, authorities said.
One of the thieves was described as a black man in his 20s standing 6 feet 1 inches tall and weighing 200 pounds with black dreadlocks and a black sweater, officers said. Another was described as a black man in his 20s standing 6 feet tall and weighing 200 pounds with short hair and a black hooded sweatshirt, police said. The third was described as a black man in his 20s standing 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 180 pounds with short hair.

Adjusting to Air Travel Changes:
"I Will Still Fly the Skies"
editor's note: Since this story was written, the Transportation Safety Administration has changed its regulations to allow liquids and gels in containers of three ounces or less. See their website for details.
It has been almost five years minus a month since September 11, 2001, a date that changed the way we will travel forever. It is now August 11, 2006, and I am headed to the airport the day after the break-up of a terrorist plot in England to down ten planes.
Smaller Works
The news on the radio heading up to Albany was filled with delay info for New York City airports, and as I parked the car at Albany Airport there seemed to be huge lines there also.
Hooked In
Until things get sorted airport changes will fluctuate, so go to the source. TSA or the Transportation Security Administration is responsible for implementing the changes leaving to reason that their website would be a good place to get last minute info.
For a complete list of banned items scroll down to the bottom of this story. The travelers most impacted are those who loved traveling without dealing with checking in bags.
Strip Down
It has always been my least favorite part of air travel: the dreaded security check. For now at least wear shoes that are easy to remove--loafers or sandals instead of lace-up sneakers or boots. Save your time and everyone else's by just stripping as much as possible including belts, jewelry and change. Most of the delay caused was due to travelers who repeatedly beeped when screened.
This airport was by far the busiest I passed through, with delays from the past week just getting sorted out. It also happened to be fortuitous for me. It has been years since I played the bump game. Bumping is volunteering to surrender your space on a flight for future flight vouchers. In my case, my wife and I received a total of $800 for future travel on Southwest good for the next year and a room at a Double Tree Hotel.
Bottom Line
On my cross country trip I really didn't suffer due to changes much at all. I did allow for more time in airports and really just took for granted that once again vigilance is now necessary. I carried far less on board and resigned myself to include time at the baggage claim. I hydrated as much as possible while still on the ground and carried a good book to pass the time.
thought about how lucky I was that I didn't own a Body Shop franchise at an airport. The bottom line is that I will still fly the skies!
Due to enhanced security measures most liquids, gels, lotions and other items of similar consistency are not permitted in carry-on baggage. These types of items must be packed in your checked baggage.
Liquids, gels and lotions can be purchased beyond the checkpoint but must be disposed of before boarding the aircraft.
Exceptions: Baby formula and breast milk if a baby or small child is traveling; prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger's ticket; up to 8 oz. of liquid or gellow blood sugar treatment and up to 4 oz. of non-prescription liquid medications.
Prohibited Make-up and Personal Items
Aerosal spray bottles and cans
Hair styling gels
Food and Drinks
All beverages
Other Items
Baby teethers with gel or liquid inside
Children's toys with gel inside
Under certain circumstances, some items from the list above are permitted.
Baby formula and breast milk are allowed in your carry-on baggage or personal items. You can take these through the security checkpoints and aboard your plane. However, you must be traveling with a baby or toddler. All items including formula or breast milk will be inspected
You or your baby or toddler will not be asked to test or taste breast milk or formula. Security Officers will not test or taste formula or breast milk.
Canned, jarred, or processed baby food is permitted in your carry-on baggage and aboard your plane.
Juice and all other liquids or gels are not permitted.
Liquids and gels, including baby formula or breast milk, may be packed in your luggage and checked with your airline. You should travel with only as much formula or breast milk needed to reach your destination.
Due to enhanced security measures most liquids, gels, lotions and other items of similar consistency will not be permitted in carry-on baggage. These types of items must be packed in your checked baggage.
However, prescription medicine with a name that matches the passenger's ticket; up to 8 oz. of liquid or gel low blood sugar treatment and up to 4 oz. of non-prescription liquid medications are permitted.
If you need more than 8 oz. of liquid or gel low blood sugar treatments or 4 oz. of non-prescription medications, pack amounts in excess of those described above in your checked baggage.
Non-liquid or gel medications of all kinds such as solid pills, or inhalers are allowed through the security checkpoint once they have been screened. Please make sure your medications are labeled.
Security personnel normally x-ray medication and related supplies. However, as a customer service, you may ask that security officers visually inspect your medication and associated supplies.
You must ask for visual inspection before the screening process begins; otherwise your medications and supplies will be x-rayed.
To prevent your medication, associated supplies or fragile medical materials from contamination or damage, you will be asked to display, handle, and repack your own medication and associated supplies during visual inspection. Any medication and/or associated supplies that cannot be inspected visually will be x-rayed. If you refuse, you will not be permitted to carry your medications and related supplies into the sterile area.
The equipment used to screen checked baggage will damage undeveloped film. Pack your undeveloped film in your carry-on bag. High speed and specialty film should be hand inspected at the security checkpoint. To speed up hand inspection, remove your undeveloped film from the canister and pack it in a clear plastic bag.
Carry-on Rules
You cannot bring lighters (fueled or without fuel) in carry-on luggage or on your person going through the security checkpoint.
Checked Baggage Rules
You may take up to two fueled Zippo lighters in your checked baggage if they are properly enclosed in a DOT-approved case. You can bring unlimited quantities of unfueled lighters in your checked baggage.
Department of Transportation Lighter Exemption
On June 23, 2005, the Department of Transportation (DOT) granted the Zippo Manufacturing Co an emergency exemption that allows passengers to pack up to two fueled Zippo lighters in checked luggage. The lighter must be in DOT-approved packaging. The packaging is a vapor-tight plastic box that can accommodate a single Zippo lighter. These packages must be clearly marked by their manufacturer to show that they comply with the DOT regulations. This enables TSA security officers to easily identify them during screening.
You may not bring matches in your checked baggage because of safety regulations. You may, however, bring up to four books of safety (not "strike anywhere") matches in your carry-on baggage or on your person. For safety reasons, you may not bring "strike anywhere" matches at all.

7/16/14 Sandra Bullock's Scare
Find me on FacebooK: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
CAMERON DIAZ admitted earlier this year that she'd once been with another woman. And now she's strongly denying that it was DREW BARRYMORE. She says, "That makes me want to vomit in my mouth . . . That's like saying I'm having sex with my sister. Are you crazy? I wouldn't even ménage with her!"
It's still pretty common for REGULAR women to take their husband's last name when they get married . . . but it isn't often that a celebrity does it. JESSICA SIMPSON might be an exception. She posted a photo of herself on Instagram . . . wearing a one-piece bathing suit while lounging in a pool chair. She captioned it "Jessica Johnson."
We'd heard SANDRA BULLOCK was able to barricade herself in her bedroom when some nut broke into her home last month. But now, there's word that she was only able to do that AFTER bumping into him face-to-face. The stalker was arrested just outside her bedroom door. Bullock heard a loud banging around 1am, walked to her bedroom door, and saw the man in the hallway wearing dark clothes. She slammed and locked her door and called 911, telling police she had showered before going to bed and the man may have been there the entire time. He was allegedly carrying a notebook with notes and pictures of Bullock he'd cut out of magazines.
Kim Kardashian is reportedly a changed person since marrying Kanye West. Sources say Kim has morphed into a completely different person since hooking up with Kanye, and those around her are concerned. They say he controls her every move and she's been sad since marrying him.
7/15/14 Lindsay Lohan Moving?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, July 15, 2014
The Octomom, NADYA SULEMAN, pleaded no contest to one count of misdemeanor welfare fraud yesterday in Los Angeles. A judge gave her 200 hours of community service, two years probation, and a small fine. Which isn't bad considering she was originally facing four FELONY counts, and more than SIX YEARS in jail.
LINDSAY LOHAN makes her stage debut in London this October, and says she's now thinking of MOVING there. It's partly because she thinks she has a better chance of being seen as a legitimate actress over there . . . and partly because she thinks British people don't care about celebrity gossip as much as we do.
KATE MIDDLETON'S "longtime friend," Jessica Hay, told the tabloids that Kate's pregnant again. She says, quote, "I've heard it from several different friends of theirs now and they're saying that they think there's going to be an official announcement in weeks."
Rumor has it that Portia de Rossi secretly filmed her drunken fights with wife Ellen DeGeneres. Sources say Portia secretly taped some of their arguments when she was drunk-- and she threatened to expose Ellen as controlling and manipulating. Allegedly, Ellen was furious and broke into Portia's cellphone and read her emails to make sure she didn't send the videos to anyone.
7/14/14 Tracy Morgan Suing Walmart
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, July 14, 2014
JWOWW from "Jersey Shore" gave birth to a daughter yesterday. It's the first child for her and her fiancé, Roger Matthews. In a statement, they said, quote, "[We] are so excited to welcome the newest guidette, Meilani Alexandra Mathews, to the world weighing seven pounds and 13 ounces . . . Meilani is already looking to trade her baby bottle for barbells."
TRACY MORGAN checked out of a rehab facility over the weekend. He's recovering from a car crash last month that killed one person and injured four. Tracy also just filed a lawsuit against Walmart, because it was one of their trucks that crashed into the back of his limo, and the driver allegedly hadn't slept for over 24 hours.
SUSAN SARANDON says the reason she still looks so good at age 67 is that she never smoked CIGARETTES. She's totally cool with smoking POT though. Quote, "I'm down with cannabis, but tobacco is the worst for the skin. Apart from that, just practice moderation, because too much of anything takes its toll. Not too much sun, not too much alcohol, not too much food."
According to a British tabloid, DANIEL RADCLIFFE from "Harry Potter" is heading to rehab . . . so he can quit smoking CIGARETTES. The "Daily Star" says he smokes about a pack a day, and recently tried hypnotherapy and e-cigarettes. But neither of them worked, so he's desperate.
7/11/14 Kim & Kanye Unhappy?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, July 11, 2014
It's Day 48 in the marriage of KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST, and the word is, it's not going well. A source says, quote, "Kanye now recognizes that Kim's main interests are shopping and lounging around by a pool. When they actually are together, they're miserable! It's really concerning to Kanye that Kim doesn't even want to try to experience new things."
ROSIE O'DONNELL is officially rejoining "The View". A message was posted on the show's Twitter account yesterday that said, quote, "It's official! ABC confirms Rosie O'Donnell returns as a co-host of The View w/ moderator WHOOPI GOLDBERG for Season 18."
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin have been spotted together in the Hamptons this week. The two dined with their children at a restaurant on Monday. Then on Tuesday, Chris met Gwyneth and their kids Apple and Moses at nearby Fierro's Pizza. One witness said, "They were operating like a couple, and with the kids looked like a happy family." Rumor has it, a reconciliation is in the works.
Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino is being sued and he can't get his lawyer to help him, because his lawyer is the one suing him. The former reality star and his brother are being sued by their longtime attorney Richard Wolfe who says they owe him $29,000 in unpaid legal fees. On top of that, "The Situation" had tried to pay some of the fees but his checks bounced, so the lawyer is also seeking damages to cover the bad checks.
7/10/14 Bieber Gets Anger Management

Thursday, July 10, 2014
According to a new survey, CHANNING TATUM and STACY KEIBLER have the hottest celebrity beach bodies. CHRIS HEMSWORTH came in second for the guys, and MARIA SHARAPOVA came in second for the ladies. The LEAST hot beach bodies are: Andy Richter, Cee Lo Green, Mama June from "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo", Danny DeVito, Donald Sterling, Paula Deen, Jack Black, Louis C.K. and Rosie O'Donnell.
Rumor has it RYAN GOSLING has impregnated his girlfriend EVA MENDES. And "Notebook" fans are flipping out, because they want him to be with RACHEL MCADAMS. One person Tweeted, quote, "Ryan Gosling is having a child and it's not with Rachel McAdams. *sets everything on fire*"
GEORGE CLOONEY got a British tabloid to take back its claim that Amal Alamuddin's mother doesn't approve of him on religious grounds. He blasted them for potentially inflaming religious hatred, and they quickly replied, quote, "We accept Mr. Clooney's assurance that the story is inaccurate and we apologize to him, Miss Amal Alamuddin and her mother for any distress caused."
Don't all come running at once, guys, but 56-year-old SHARON STONE is READY TO ACCEPT SUITORS. She tells "Extra", quote, "What's happened is my kids have reached the age where I feel comfortable to date. I didn't want to date when they were little because, who needs a bunch of people running in and out of their lives? Now I feel comfortable dating. I'm available for dating."
JUSTIN BIEBER pleaded no contest to misdemeanor vandalism for egging his neighbor's house. He'll get two years' probation and five days of community labor. He also has to get ANGER MANAGEMENT counseling and pay the victim back $80,900.

NEWORLEANS-- A seminar on the effects of concussions was scheduled during Super Bowl week for LSU and Tulane medical students, but the event was suddenly cancelled.
And the reasons are linked to the Saints bounty scandal.
Former Saints player Kyle Turley plans to donate his brain to medical research on repeated head trauma. He was one of the speakers behind the event.
But just days before Thursday's seminar, med students emailed Channel 4 disappointed, asking why was it canceled with no explanation.
'We felt that that was a significant safety issue for our students,' said Dr. Steve Nelson, dean of the LSU School of Medicine.
Student organizers promised the appearance of a surprise guest, a filmmaker who planned to premiere his new documentary there. No one knew the content.
But as Eyewitness News learned, that guest was Sean Pamphilon.
A controversial figure among Saints fans, Pamphilon in 2012 released a recording of former Saints Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams telling players to cause pain to the 49ers.
It was a recording made during a production about former Saint Steve Gleason, who now has ALS.
LSU Health Sciences Center gave Eyewitness News a copy of the email exclusively. It's from a student organizer of the event whose name has been removed. The email explains explicitly why the name of the filmmaker is not to be made public.
It reads that Pamphilon is worried about the safety of his family while he is in New Orleans and that he has made serious enemies around here.
The medical student writes that the reason for the fear is that the idea that football must be fundamentally changed is very unpopular and controversial in this region.
LSU says its only concern is protecting students from potential harm. University police were consulted but the dean and chancellor made the decision.
LSUHSC has major ongoing studies on brain injury in its Neuroscience Center of Excellence with Dr. Nicolas Bazan, and with hyperbaric oxygen treatments with Drs. Paul Harch and Keith Van Meter.
A graduate student in public health, Christopher Freeman, led an effort resulting in a new law to prevent serious injury to young athletes from concussion.
The dean says he explained the reason to student leaders, and there was never pressure from the NFL or state to sweep this topic under the AstroTurf because it was Super Bowl week.
'Nothing could be further from the truth. One of the team physicians for the Saints is (Dr.) John Amos, who is one of my residents. And I've had conversations with him about trying to do more studies on this,' said Dr. Nelson.
Kyle Turley tweeted suggesting ignorance around the issue was in play.
'I'm very disappointed that he thinks that that's the case, because health care is what we're dedicated to, not publicity,' responded Dr. Nelson.
The students asked Tulane Medical School for an alternative venue for Thursday's meeting. Its med school said 'yes.'
'I think it's very important to get the word out that concussions are serious. I think that, I know in Louisiana, the High School Athletic Association, we at Tulane, the NFL, are all very serious and very concerned about concussion and the long term implications, and are trying to do whatever we can to prevent, and part of prevention is education,' said Dr. Gregory Stewart, the director of the Neurologlical Care Programs at he Tulane Institute of Sports Medicine.
It is unclear if Tulane knew about the filmmaker's appearance and it is still unclear if the controversial guest will go to Tulane.
A Tulane spokesman now says the event is open only to medical students.
We emailed some of the student leaders for a comment but did not hear back by air time.

Miss Sixty by Miss Sixty is one of my favorite fragrances. I can't seem to find it anywhere in Canada now and it really sent me into a panic when I started to run out. It is a very soft scent and what I love most about it is that its not sickly sweet. Its gentle, men seem to love it because its not overpowering and its perfect for either day or night.
