Hilton Worldwide Expands Latin America Portfolio
Friday September 28th, 2012 - 12:29AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
MCLEAN, VA—Hilton Worldwide has signed a management agreement with Carvalho Hosken Hotelaria Ltda. for the 298-room, new-build Hilton Barra, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. This marks Hilton Worldwide's first hotel in Rio de Janeiro. The project, currently under construction, is expected to open in June 2014 and will provide travelers a new place to stay during the 2016 Summer Olympics.
"Hilton Hotels & Resorts is experiencing a period of tremendous global growth, and this project brings our name to one of the most important cities in Latin America," Dave Horton, global head, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, said in a statement.
Forming part of the Metropolitan Center, Hilton Barra, Rio de Janeiro will be in one of the city's most economically dynamic and fastest growing areas, between Barra de Tijuca Beach and Jacarepagua. For those visiting the city in 2016 to experience the Summer Olympic games, the hotel will be located within walking distance to the future Olympic Park and less than three miles from both the future Olympic Village and Barra de Tijuca Beach.
Hilton Barra, Rio de Janeiro will feature 298 rooms, all outfitted with the Hilton Serenity Collection of amenities. Guests staying in an executive room or suite will have the added benefit of the hotel's executive floor service and executive lounge, which will offer light snacks and beverages throughout the day.
The hotel will also offer nearly 14,000 sq. ft. of meeting space and a business center. An added business bonus: It will be located about two-and-a-half miles from the Riocentro Convention Center, the largest convention space in South America.
Additional amenities include a full-service restaurant and bar, as well as an outdoor swimming pool and fitness center.

Coming out of Florida State, EJ Manuel was one of the surprise picks of the 2013 NFL Draft. The Bills took a chance with the 16th pick and ultimately constructed a run-first offense to attempt to groom their future franchise signal-caller.
As the season started, Manuel played timid, but held his own in the first two games against New England and Carolina. He was able to utilize the short passing game, using his backs to complete the majority of passes.
The next two games against the Jets and Ravens weren't so impressive. Completing just 45-percent of his passes in both games, Manuel struggled with accuracy on seemingly every drive and tried to fit in too many throws in windows that closed too quickly.
His Thursday Night matchup against Cleveland ended with a knee injury that kept him out for over a month. Manuel was never able to rebound and have his rookie season end healthy.
Manuel didn't try to do too much, something that young quarterbacks too often try to do. Offensive Coordinator Nathaniel Hackett kept the run-first offense approach, allowing Manuel to throw in situations only when he needed to. While he did make a few risky throws, the rookie quarterback stayed within himself, showed poise in the pocket, and allowed the play to happen the majority of the time.
Mobility in the pocket was another strength for Manuel, starting early. He was able to shake defenders and at times run downfield with long strides and gain ground quickly. While he shouldn't be relied upon as a rushing quarterback, it's certainly an under-rated trait he possesses.
One thing we can give Manuel is his ability to complete the easy passes. When guys like Scott Chandler and Stevie Johnson were open, Manuel was able to use his arm-strength to deliver, sometimes threading the needle to complete passes. I was impressed with his poise and ability to make plays when he had to.
Too often in his rookie season did Manuel check the ball down. It seemed as though many times he had opportunities to make a big play happen, but he relied on the all-too-famous "dump off pass" to create the opportunities in the passing game. Manuel will have to hope his team helps him out this off-season by getting him another premier young receiving threat at some point in the draft.
Manuel had his fair share of rookie mistakes you would expect to see. Poor interceptions, bad reads, and inaccurate deep balls all stood out on his tape but are also things that I expect him to learn from and progress in 2014.
I place E.J Manuel third in the AFC East behind Tom Brady and Ryan Tannehill. I expect to see major improvement in Manuel's passing game in the 2014 season. It should be interesting to see if he'll be able to go toe-to-toe against his divisional rivals.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
28 Jul 2012 19:25 GMT | Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya
Ethnic clashes in southern Ethiopia over land rights have left 18 people killed and caused thousands to flee across the nearby border to Kenya, the Kenyan Red Cross has said.
Members of the Borana and Garri groups clashed around the town of Moyale, which is on Ethiopia's border with Kenya.
"Garris have been settled into the disputed lands that Boranas claim ownership of," the Red Cross said in a statement on Saturday. An estimated 20,000 refugees were being registered at temporary camps set up in Kenyan schools in the border area.
At least six people were wounded. Their injuries included gunshot wounds and internal bleeding, the group said.
The Red Cross said the situation was worsened by the effects from a drought that hit the area earlier this year.

I believe they lost many a war where if they would have won, the jews remaining would have been massacred. I've no problem and would agree to give up some land for peace but i dont believe they'll ever stop attacking us unless they wipe us out or we leave the middle east. They have Gaza fine keep it and enjoy, but we can decide where the borders will be to a certain extent as res 242 states protective borders and what olmert's planning to do, and where the fence is being put up we dont have defensible borders. They never had a country, it was Jordan (which should be their country) and Egypt who didn't want them like the rest of the arab countries. They should understand we are giving them somthing they never had and something no other country would agree too in our place. If they decide that they are willing to stop killing innocents here, then i'm all for two states. I dont believe it will ever happen so we must do what is possible to protect ourselves meanwhile and show strength.

First World War revolver handed into shop
Somehow, a First World War pistol was scooped up in a pile of clothes and handed into a charity shop.
Now, the gun – a prized possession of Captain Hugh Winfield Sayres, who died on the first day of the Battle of the Somme – is finding a new home in a museum.
The discovery of the pistol – a Wilkinson Webley revolver – was made when staff at the Earl Shilton shop rummaged through a bag of old clothes.
Normally, the working gun would have been deactivated and dismantled, but after hearing of the discovery, amateur history enthusiast Sergeant Rich Matlock, of Loughborough police station, stepped in to save it.
His investigation unearthed the story of a dedicated officer, with a distinguished military career, who fought and fell alongside the men he led.
Sgt Matlock discovered that Captain Sayres was born in 1888 and came from London. He joined the Army as a "gentleman cadet" in 1909. After passing out at Sandhurst, Sayres joined the Lancashire Fusiliers.
The gun was bought privately in 1912 at Wilkinson Firearms, in London's Pall Mall, and inscribed with his name.
Capt Sayres was posted to India in 1912 and in 1915 was shot in the right shoulder while landing in Gallipoli.
After recovering, he was posted to France and promoted to acting major, but asked to return to his battalion as a captain so he could fight with his soldiers.
Aged 27, he was killed on the first day of the Battle of the Somme – July 1, 1916 – with his dog, Nailer.
Later this month it will be presented – along with all Sgt Matlock's research and photographs – to the Lancashire Fusilier Museum, in Bury.

US Project Adds Extensive Range of Genetic, Health Information to Online Database
By BiotechDaily International staff writers
Posted on 17 Mar 2014
Genetic data related to medical information on a diverse group of more than 78,000 individuals will now be accesible to researchers, enabling comprehensive research into many diseases and conditions.
The data, from one of the US largest and most diverse genomics projects called the Genetic Epidemiology Research on Aging (GERA), have just been made available to qualified researchers through the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP), an online genetics database of the US National Institutes of Health (Bethesda, MD, USA).
The GERA cohort, with an average age of 63, was developed collaboratively by Kaiser Permanente (Oakland, CA, USA) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF; USA). The addition of the data to dbGaP was made possible with USD 24.9 million in support from the US National Institute on Aging (NIA; Bethesda, MD, USA), the US National Institute of Mental Health, and the Office of the Director, all at NIH. Catherine Schaefer, PhD, of Kaiser Permanente Northern California and Neil Risch, PhD, of UCSF are co-lead investigators for GERA.
"Data from this immense and ethnically diverse population will be a tremendous resource for science," said NIH director Francis S. Collins, MD, PhD. "It offers the opportunity to identify potential genetic risks and influences on a broad range of health conditions, particularly those related to aging."
The GERA cohort is part of the Research Program on Genes, Environment, and Health (RPGEH), which includes more than 430,000 adult members of the Kaiser Permanente Northern California system. Data from this larger group include electronic medical records (EMRs), behavioral and demographic information from surveys, and saliva samples from 200,000 participants obtained with informed consent for genomic and other analyses.
"The GERA cohort has the largest number of people, of any age, with data in dbGaP," said NIA director Richard J. Hodes, MD. "Federal funds were used to develop new approaches to genomics for this project, and I'm pleased that the data are now ready in dbGaP for researchers' use. I look forward to new insights that such a unique resource might offer for better health with age."
The genetic data in the GERA cohort translates into more than 55 billion bits of genetic data. Using newly developed techniques, the researchers conducted genome-wide scans to rapidly identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genomes of the people in the GERA cohort. These data will form the foundation of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) that can search throughout the hundreds of thousands to millions of SNPs simultaneously. The RPGEH then combined the genetic data with information derived from Kaiser Permanente's comprehensive longitudinal EMRs, as well as extensive survey data on participants' health habits and backgrounds, providing researchers with an unparalleled research resource.
In addition to diseases and conditions traditionally associated with aging, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and osteoarthritis, researchers can explore the potential genetic underpinnings of a variety of diseases that affect people in adulthood, including depression, insomnia, diabetes, certain eye diseases and many others representing a variety of disease domains. Researchers will also be able to use the database to confirm or disprove other studies that use data from relatively small numbers of people, as well as to increase the size and strength of their samples by adding participants from GERA to meta-analyses. The large cohort will also serve as a reference source of controls that researchers can compare to individuals with different disorders that they have examined.
"An exciting aspect of this dataset is that it will be updated and refreshed," noted Winifred Rossi, deputy director of NIA's Division of Geriatrics and Clinical Gerontology and program officer for the project. "As information is added to the Kaiser-UCSF database, the dbGaP database will also be updated."
dbGaP was developed and is managed by the US National Center for Biotechnology Information, a division of the National Library of Medicine at NIH. Investigators who are interested in applying for access to this database should follow the procedures on the dbGaP website. Specific information on the data can be found online (Please see related Links below).
The NIA leads the US effort conducting and supporting research on aging and the health and well-being of older people. The Institute's scientific program's goal is to further understand the processes of aging and to lengthen the healthy, active years of life.

@Scottish-Lady On top of the game as usual, shout-out to #TeamUK.
I'm from England and have a knowledge of UK Artists so I guess I could have a look

oi why wuznt i mentioned?
@RedfordStephens and everyone else I didn't mention: I love you all! I wrote the post late last night & only mentioned the people I work with most. Please accept my apologies!
If I were to ask @TomiFischer if we could start an RGUK Forum for a trial period (maybe 3 months?), would most of you use it? There are so many things I need UK contributors to know, and a Forum might be the answer.

Created: 08/18/2014 9:21 PM WDIO.com
The Duluth City Council unanimously approved a nearly $2.3 million contract with Kraus Anderson Construction Company Monday night for improvements to Wade Stadium.
Phase one of the project includes preparations for new artificial turf, lighting repairs, painting and more. This phase is expected to be complete by April 2015.
Councilor Howie Hanson said, as a former baseball player, this is a special project for him. He says it will allow baseball teams like the Duluth Huskies and St. Scholastica Saints to play outside earlier in the spring than they could before. He said it will also allow Wade Stadium to be better suited for other types of events.
"I'm really excited about this project in terms of the economic opportunities this creates. It gives us a championship level facility, a multi-use facility that we can do some really exciting things with," Hanson said.
Bids for phase two of the upgrades will be taken in September. That phase includes new stadium seating, a fresh scoreboard, field maintenance equipment and more.

What travelers to Key West are saying
Get inspired in relaxing Key West, Florida
Made famous in song and spirit by the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams and Jimmy Buffett, Key West offers travelers a tropical Caribbean vibe. Key West is part of Monroe County, yet it feels like a million miles away from the mainland with its self-professed status of Conch Republic and its laidback attitude, with a vibrant collection of artists, musicians and entertainment options.
Things to see and do
Key West beaches
There are small, manmade beaches scattered around calm waters, where you can wade into the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. Smathers Beach is a half mile of manmade coast that is perfect for a sunrise snapshot. Concession stands, watersports rentals and available restrooms make this a nice spot for families with children.
The 87 acres of Fort Zachary Taylor State Park offer a beach, a historic fort, picnic tables and wonderful sunset views. Located within walking distance to restaurants on Duval Street, South Beach is a local favorite. The third longest barrier reef in the worldand America's only living coral reefis located just offshore from the Florida Keys, ready and waiting for explorers.
Literature lovers should visit the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, and take a guided tour of the house that the Nobel Prize-winner lived in for more than 10 years. The Mel Fisher Maritime Museum, the Key West Shipwreck Museum, and the Key West Lighthouse are all great choices for fans of nautical history and antiques. The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservancy offers the fragrance of flowers and the fun of butterflies alighting on guests' shoulders.
Water sports
Take a jet-ski tour around the island, sail off on a catamaran for a day of snorkeling, or head out to Fort Jefferson Dry Tortugas State Park. Located about 70 miles west of Key West, Fort Jefferson is a great day trip for swimming, snorkeling or just relaxing on soft sand. Travelers can also take tours of the historic fort. If fishing is your thing, you need only walk along the docks for a bit before finding an offshore fishing charter or tour boat.
Special events
Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square
Held on the dock at Mallory Square, on the western side of the island, this event is a nightly carnival of jugglers, musicians, street artists and performers of all types. Once the sun sets, the nightlife continues onto the world-famous Duval Street where nightclubs, gourmet restaurants, and outdoor cafes keep the party going into the small hours of the morning.
Key West Food and Wine Festival
The Key West Food and Wine Festival makes its way onto the island in January. This delicious event covers six days of food demonstrations, music, dancing, wine tastings and themed parties.
Key West Lobsterfest
Lobsterfest takes place in August, and marks the opening of lobster season with street fairs, concerts, a lobster boil, Sunday brunch and the Duval Crawl, a nighttime trek to several bars along Duval Street. Participating bars include, among others, Coyote Ugly, the Hard Rock Café, Pincher's Crab Shack and the Sunset Tiki Bar.
Travel Information
Key West International Airport (EYW) and Marathon Airport (MTH) are excellent choices for those wanting to get to the Conch Republic as quickly as possible. A travel alternative is to fly into Miami International Airport (MIA), rent a car and cruise through the Keys, traveling across crystal clear water and through small fishing towns along the way.

Karlheinz Schreiber surrenders to deportation
Karlheinz Schreiber has surrendered himself to the Toronto West Detention Centre.

Karlheinz Schreiber has surrendered himself to the Toronto West Detention Centre.
He arrived at around 4:45 p.m., exiting a taxi and declaring to reporters that they had just witnessed the "biggest political justice scandal in history."
He is to be deported to Germany as early as tomorrow, after a judge this afternoon dismissed his appeal of a surprise extradition order.
"Mr. Schreiber has travelled a long road in fighting his extradition to Germany," said Judge Barbara Ann Conway in handing down the ruling. "He is now at the end of that road."
It has been almost 10 years since Schreiber started fighting his extradition. He was served with an order to surrender by Justice Department officials Friday evening.
Speaking at a snap hearing at the 361 University courthouse earlier this afternoon, Schreiber's counsel, Ed Greenspan, said the timing of the order was a deliberate attempt on the part of Federal Minister of Justice Rob Nicholson to ensure Schreiber's extradition will take place before he had a chance to file an application of judicial review.
"To be served Friday night at 5:10 p.m. on a long weekend ...is unfair...devious...and unnecessary. It's a purposeful attempt to make sure Mr. Schreiber will have no recourse on his extradition to Germany," Greenspan told the court.
Crown prosecutor Richard Kramer argued that the timing of the minister's order is inconsequential and that Schreiber must satisfy three conditions in the eyes of the court to avoid extradition.
First, he had to prove his extradition is a serious issue that must be tried.
In the past and again today, Greenspan had argued that the Canada-Germany extradition treaty was invalid. Kramer disagreed.
Second, said Kramer, Schreiber has to prove he faces irreparable harm if extradited to Germany.
Greenspan argued that imminent jail time should be considered harmful.
Kramer countered that Germany practices high standards of human rights and due process.
Third, Kramer said, Schreiber had to win the balance of convenience.
Greenspan asked the court what difference a judicial review lasting less than a week would make to the court.
Kramer suggested Schreiber has already had 10 years to fight extradition.
Schreiber was not able to say exactly when he'll be extradited, and numerous attempts to contact the Ministry of Justice have gone unanswered.
He did say, however, that he has big news to share with the Canadian media.
"But I have to be careful at the moment," he said.

Unique place, excellent value for money
Woodland Lodge is a quirky, unusual and very reasonably priced accommodation option.
The lodges are like large en-suite hotel rooms, with nice fittings including a large good-quality shower and a mini-fridge. Perfect for us to make our base and prepare sandwiches etc while working in London for a couple of days. They offer a tray-service continental breakfast, and although we did not need this were happy to provide a toaster on request - making this the missing link between hotel and self-catering accommodation. The rooms are turned down daily without everything being rearranged annoyingly as in a hotel, and the manager replies quickly to text queries (e.g. about the toaster and wi-fi). The only quibble is that parking would have been awkward if the lodges were all occupied by drivers. It's also worth mentioning that the lodge are literally in a wood and insect life is plentiful. This did not bother us but may do some people. We would definitely come here again, with three nights at the price of less than two at our usual East London hotel venues.

Back in early April, Erik Cole picked Phoenix to win the Stanley Cup
May 4, 2012, 11:46 PM EDT
The Phoenix Coyotes are just one win away from advancing to the Western Conference finals. Although secured the third seed in the regular season, that's a pretty big surprise. The online sports book Bovada has probably been caught off guard.
Before the playoffs began, they gave the Coyotes 40/1 odds to win the Stanley Cup, which put them in a tie for last place with the Ottawa Senators. Perhaps they should have consulted with Montreal Canadiens forward Erik Cole, who predicted that the Coyotes would win the Stanley Cup back in early April.
That being said, obviously they haven't won anything yet. The Los Angeles Kings are also looking pretty good right now and the St. Louis Blues and Nashville Predators aren't out. That's not even getting into the Eastern Conference, which is starting to look murkier, but still features four interesting squads.
Still, the Phoenix Coyotes don't usually get a lot of respect – or attention for that matter. Guys like Shane Doan have dedicated themselves to a team where their struggle to find an owner is the source of intrigue and the actual on-ice product is often treated as an afterthought outside of Glendale.
Winning is forcing people to pay attention to them and, who knows, maybe Cole's words will prove to be prophetic.

If I win the mega millions they will have an owner. now somebody else post a "good luck with that"

You could just give me the mega millions instead of losing it all while the team still doesn't make money.

Terrelle Pryor, the former quarterback, is now fighting for a job with the Cleveland Browns as a wide receiver after being cut from the Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals as a QB. Pryor certainly has the size and athleticism to be a weapon on the offense side. The fact that he is determined to succeed at wide receiver (and not quarterback) is a great sign.
ST. Charles is the Chiefs' starter and one of the NFL's premier backs. Taylor said it was his father's idea for him to tweet highlights to the Chiefs and some other NFL teams. Taylor was the only running back participating on Thursday in the final day of a rookie camp. He'll be at the back of the line when training camp begins Saturday.
Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Sean Smith addressed what lies ahead now that he's arrived at training camp. "I just want to continue to keep a positive outlook towards everything I do in my life because training camp is brutal, it's hot and long hours, but at the same time, it is a time where I am alive and it could be a lot worse.
ST. Mike DeVito/Chiefs Defensive Lineman:"I've been up in northern Maine. It's a little cooler up there than down here. I'm excited to be here. I'm excited to get going. It's been a long wait coming off the injury. And all the work that I put in to get back to this point. So I'm excited to get out there and put it to the test."
Chiefs defensive lineman Mike DeVito spent a lot of time inactive on the sideline last season after tearing his Achilles tendon in a week one loss to the Tennessee Titans. "What I would do was prep my meals at the beginning of the week so that I could just throw it in the microwave and get going. But I really stuck to (head strength coach) Barry (Rubin's) plan, and I feel good." DeVito spent most of his summer in northern Maine, a more temperate climate than the oppressive summer heat and humidity of the Midwest.
This was Friday, the day veterans were required to report to training camp at Missouri Western, and Smith, who could be seen talking and joking with his teammates beforehand, was clearly happy to be back. "It's going to be exciting -- I can't wait to get back out there with the guys, to run out that tunnel and hear the crowd chanting and screaming," Smith said.
Here in this post you will be able to vote on all four Elite Eight match-ups for a date in the Final Four. On the following pages you will vote which KC sports "season" will move on to the next round. Be sure to click next to see the next match-up and vote on each one. That is the case here between the Kansas Jayhawks and Sporting KC.
It was beneficial for both of us. @aaronmurray11 on working with rookie WR @_flight17_ during the offseason pic.twitter.com/hQGj ...
ST. Quarterback Alex Smith had an astronomical passer rating of 129.2 when the Chiefs had tight ends Anthony Fasano , Travis Kelce and Demetrius Harris on the field at the same time during the season's first eight games. The Chiefs had to get away from those formations in the second half of the season after losing Harris with a broken foot. But the Chiefs will soon begin practicing in pads, and the game will change for O'Shaughnessy.
It was worth a shot, and now he'll get a shot. On Wednesday, wanting to continue his football career, the Missouri native decided to send a link to his highlight reel to the Chiefs via Twitter: It just so happened that on Thursday, one day before veterans report to Chiefs camp, rookie tailback Keshawn Hill -- the only healthy running back on the field for Kansas City -- went down with a hamstring injury.
This will be the third season under head coach Andy Reid and general manager John Dorsey and you know what they say... Charles is one of the best running backs in the league, and Travis Kelce is a young and rising star in the tight end position. The Chiefs also will go over a month without a game at Arrowhead Stadium in the middle of the season due to giving up a home game to play in London.
Jun 18, 2015; Kansas City, MO, USA; Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters (22) runs drills during the mini camp at University of Kansas Hospital Training Complex. "We've been in the playbook together every night, communicating with each other back and forth if we need each other's help," Peters told the Kansas . Peters, the Chiefs' first-round pick, can walk steps to find a player in Nelson learning the same exact playbook.

Governor Dayton unveils his budget plan today (TUE), and many are wondering what tax increases he will propose. Democratic leaders at the legislature have basically said there will be tax increases — but haven't said which ones. House Speaker Paul Thissen says they agree with a lot of the governor's goals: a budget with no tricks or gimmicks, sturdy going into the future and a budget that focuses on Minnesota's priorities and works for middle-class families. Republican Representative Jennifer Loon warns if there are big tax increases in the governor's budget, it could stifle some of the economic recovery. "The best thing we can do for Minnesotans," Loon says, "is to have jobs and economic opportunity." The Governor's proposed 2-year budget is expected to rely heavily on tax increases to solve a $1.1-billion projected deficit and boost spending. Dayton has long said he would push for higher income taxes on top-end earners, though he has not said what that rate will be and how much someone can make before it will kick in. Sales, property and corporate taxes are also on the table, with rate reductions possible for some.

TSN Radio shakes up schedule: Mudhar
The new show TSN Drive with Dave Naylor is just part of a network schedule shakeup that takes effect on Monday.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Get ready to hear another side of Dave Naylor.
While Naylor is best known as TSN's CFL insider, as of next Monday he settles into the afternoon drive chair on TSN Radio 1050, taking over the slot from James Cybulski. Every weekday from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. he will go straight up against this market's reigning sports radio king, Bob McCownof Prime Time Sports.
Naylor says he knows what he's getting into and takes the bull by the horns when asked about battling Goliath.
"I am probably as aware of Bob McCown as anybody, in that I've listened to him for a long time and I wrote a book with him," says Naylor. "But my mentality going into this show has nothing to do with Bob McCown. We want to do the best show we can. And I'm not trying to counter-program or be different from or be the same as Bob McCown. Our guiding principle is to do the best show that we can for our listeners."
TSN Drive with Dave Naylor is just part of a schedule shakeup that takes effect on Monday (one hour will also air weekdays at 6 p.m. on TSN2), with Bob Mackowycz taking the 9 a.m. to noon slot and Scott MacArthur coming aboard as TSN's baseball and Blue Jays reporter, working across all the network's platforms.
In April, it will be two years since TSN Radio launched, one of the first big salvos in the sports media war between Bell and Rogers, and one that came long before the two media giants entered into a swords-into-ploughshares agreement to buy MLSE together. While almost everything else has changed (or, more specifically, changed hands), Prime Time Sports is still the top dog in radio.
The original move to have Cybulski and Co. go up against PTS was classic counter-programming, with a younger announcer going up against an older one, and according to TSN program director Robert Gray, it worked. One area in which TSN Radio has seen particular growth is with the younger demographic.
Changing things up with Naylor is an interesting move. He's worked at the Globe and Mail, CBC Radio and TSN, and beyond his football focus, he's covered all the major sports in his 22 years in the business. On TV, he comes across as a good reporter, smart and professional. And while he's not going in completely cold — Naylor has been hosting a three-hour afternoon show on Saturdays — three hours live every day is a different beast altogether and requires a different skill set.
He says he hopes to bring his journalistic sensibilities to the show, while offering up opinions and tapping into the emotions of sport. Being emotional and opinionated is not something audiences normally associate with Naylor.
"I would say that's probably true," he says. "My role on TSN, up until now, has not been to be opinionated. It has not been to bring a counterintuitive take to things that I cover necessarily, and I can understand why you, or other people that know me through the media, might say, 'Yeah, he's a real pro, he's got credibility, but I don't know about his personality' because I haven't been cast in a role where that would come out.
"When I say we want to have an emotional show, and I will have rants about things that get under my skin, but one of the great things about sports is that it evokes emotion of all kinds — negative, positive — and we want to tap into that. If we can create an emotional show, that will compel people to come back to us."
Naylor says the format of the show will be dictated by the breaking sports news of the day, and while there will be always be a guest or a co-host, it's not yet set in stone who will fill those roles.
"I think we will have a rotation off the top. It's a little bit like the Regis and Kelly thing — honestly, it's hard to see who you'll have chemistry with until you do a show together. That's how they found Michael Strahan for Kelly, so we'll have to see."
