Super Bowl XLVI Live-Blog - Commercials, football and more
Super Bowl Sunday, y'all!
After a couple years without a clear rooting interest, I'm relieved that the Patriots are back in the Big Game on Sunday (February 5) afternoon. Of course, that means that my enjoyment of the game and the intervening commercials and trailers and whatnot may be more regulated by the action on the field than it has been the past few Super Bowls. By the time the commercials start repeating themselves in the second half, I could either be loopy and giddy or grumpy and miserable. And if I'm grumpy and miserable, that'll spill over into "The Voice," which I'll be live-blogging right after the game (in a different post).
One quick proviso before we start the live-blogging, which will include interjections on the game, but will mostly concentrate on the ad breaks: Yes, I know that the commercials have almost all been available online for a week. I haven't watched a single one of them. I didn't really see the point. I have a nice TV and the Super Bowl is gonna have my full attention. Why would I be YouTubing clips and spoiling the moment of discovery? Exactly.
Anyway, click through, chat along and GO PATRIOTS!
3:11 p.m. Pacific. I've got my Ruffles, my french onion dip and my Sam Adams. And I'm already sick of "Safe House," which seems to have taken the cost-effective route of buying up oodles of pre-game time, but will probably skip the game itself.
3:14 p.m. Last year, Adrien Brody shilled for Stella. This year? Gillette. Next year? He'll fight off the Hamburglar.
3:18 p.m. Kelly Clarkson's bangs are singing the National Anthem. That was a fast, efficient and fine "Star-Spangled Banner." She hit every note, remembered every word and didn't keep us waiting. Kudos, Kelly!
3:25 p.m. New England wins the coin toss! Prop betters are already going nuts... This breaks a long NFC Super Bowl coin-flip winning streak. I have no idea what it augers, other than that the Patriots will get the ball to start the second half.
3:27 p.m. Remember: The money commercials don't kick in until after kickoff. So this "Gotta Fly Now" commercial for Hyundai is a bargain.
3:31 p.m. KICKOFF!!!!!
3:37 p.m. The Patriots pass defense is a problem. The Patriots pass rush? WOOT!
3:38 p.m. COMMERCIAL TIME! The first spot for Bud Light Platinum. It's dull. Bud Light usually does jokey commercials, so I guess they've decided to show that Bud Light Platinum takes itself very seriously. But why am I impressed with the assembly line manufacturing of beer?
3:39 p.m. "Twilight" capitalization! A group of vampires are partying out in the forest. The man who comes to deliver their Type O blood shows up with an Audi. He doesn't know that the Audi's LED headlights will kill vampire. I'll have to consult Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson on this one, but at least it's better than the Bud Light commercial.
3:41 p.m. Elton John plays the king in a commercial for Pepsi. OMG! It's the Melanie Amaro commercial! The lame jester doesn't entertain Elton John, but Melanie sings "Respect" and wins the King's approval. "OK. Pepsi for you." And Melanie's all, "No! Pepsi for all!" and she sends Elton John to the dungeon where we find... Flava Flav? Ummm... OK.
3:43 p.m. Cheetah attacks man in a Hyundai commercial. I don't understand why.
3:44 p.m. Well, there's your first "Smash" promo.
3:44 p.m. I'm not saying the Safety call was wrong, but I'm not sure that's a call you make in the Super Bowl.
3:46 p.m. So you boast about how your reality show's winner is going to get a Pepsi commercial and then you give her said commercial and make sure she's upstaged by Elton John and the syphilitic dwarf from Public Enemy? Really?
3:48 p.m. This live-blog is going to be getting grumpy very soon. Just a warning.12 freaking men on the field. Grrr...
3:51 p.m. 9-0 Giants. Yup. Getting grumpy.
3:52 p.m. Another boring Bud Light Platinum commercial. I seriously don't know what they think they're proving with these commercials. Bud Light Platinum: Like Bud Light, only humorless.
3:53 p.m. A Brown M&M shows up to a party and everybody thinks she's naked. Including the Red M&M, who strips off his candy coating and starts dancing. Yes. He FLAYS HIMSELF. And starts dancing, muscles and nerves and internal organs exposed. That's disgusting.
3:54 p.m. "Celebrity Apprentice" commercial.
3:55 p.m. I like the Coca-Cola polar bears. In this case... I have no idea what they're doing. One is crossing his fingers and toes so he can't open/drink his Coke? Huh?
3:55 p.m. In the aftermath of the 2012 Mayan-predicted Apocalypse, one man and his dog survive thanks to their truck, a Chevy. They drive through the aftermath, as "Looks Like We Mad It." They meet with other survivors and eat Twinkies. They miss their friend Dave, who drove a Ford. These men have yet to realize that they'll never get laid again.
4:00 p.m. End of the first quarter. Already? And we've had such "fun."
4:01 p.m. Bridgestone is bringing tie technology to the world of sports. A scientist has made a football out of tire. Troy Aikman and Deion Sanders are the only stars available. The football handles well. Or something.
4:01 p.m. Jillian and Danica Patrick are painting a semi-naked model for Go Daddy. They make a joke about how they missed a spot or "spots." Bad ad, GoDaddy.
4:02 p.m. Dull Lexus ad.
4:02 p.m. Our first movie trailer is for "Battleship" and does a spectacular job of making it look like a "Transformers" sequel. We get very little Liam Neeson. Very little Rihanna. Almost no Tim Riggins. And a lot of robo-aliens. I'll watch just to see Rihanna go "Boom."
4:05 p.m. Well, the Patriots are on the board, at least. 9-3.
4:05 p.m. A very nicely shot Budweiser ad remembers the end of Prohibition and the triumphant return of beer and Clydesdales to America. The dalmatian is also back. It's a far better ad than those Bud Light Platinum spots. I feel properly patriotic.
4:05 p.m. A man begins to suspect his dog has killed a local cat. The dog... threatens to take away his Doritos if he narcs? I'm so confused. And it's his dog that's gone? What the heck is happening here, Doritos?
4:07 p.m. A young man is very happy to get a new Camaro. Only it isn't his. And the commercial isn't memorable.
4:08 p.m. Thanks, GE. You invented turbines. And you wanted to spend $4 million to tell me this. Oh. Cross-promoting. GE also makes the turbines that help make Budweiser.
4:09 p.m. Another Tim Riggins movie! It's a multi-splitscreen ad for "John Carter."
4:10 p.m. Little boy has to pee. He leaves the pool, runs in circles, but ends up going back into the pool to pee. "Totally free. It feels good." And it's for TaxAct.com. Useless ad.
4:11 p.m. "The Voice" commercial. Why haven't we gotten a "Smash" commercial for a half-hour? What if we forget when "Smash" is on?
4:13 p.m. "The Lorax" looks colorful.
4:14 p.m. DOGGIE!!! A dog really likes the shape of the new VW bugl.
4:14 p.m. Darth Vader arrives at the Mos Eisley cantina and it has something to do with VW.
4:15 p.m. Howard Stern is coming to "America's Got Talent." And he's bringing a HOSE!
4:19 p.m. That was a somewhat reassuring defensive stand by the Patriots, slowing down what has already become a sluggish game.
4:20 p.m. David Beckham has something to do with H&M underwear. Or tattoos. That cost a lot of money and they don't even show his darned crotch. I'm not into that kinda thing myself, but it seems silly to barely show the product being advertised. Are Beckham's tats powerful enough to sell underwear? Not to me, certainly.
4:20 p.m. The polar bears are back. One of them has trouble catching a Coke and takes outseveral of his friends in the process. But at least he catches the Coke before it falls.
4:23 p.m. That was not a reassuring offensive stand by the Patriots.
4:29 p.m. That was a reassuring defensive stand by the Patriots. Yes. It's becoming that kinda game.
4:30 p.m. Lots of Chevy stunts. The car jumps out of a plane. And jumps over a skateboard. And bungee jumps. I don't know that I need my car to be able to do these things, but I'm glad that the Chevy Sonic can...
4:31 p.m. Sorry. You can't fool me, LucasFilm. Just because the whole "Star Wars" series is coming to theaters in 3D doesn't mean you aren't starting us off with the freakin' "Phantom Menace." I don't get chills for "Phantom Menace" anymore.
4:34 p.m. Gronk.
4:35 p.m. "Avengers," baby! Lots of NYC chaos! Lots of superheroes in uniform. A tiny bit of Hunk. "I still believe in Heroes," Nick Fury says.
4:36 p.m. I have no idea what this commercial is for, but I think it's Adrianna Lima. She tells me that I'll get laid on Valentine's Day if I use teleflora.com. OK!
4:37 p.m. OK. Bulldog in running shoes moonwalking in Sketchers? Perfect commercial til Mark Cuban shows up.
4:38 p.m. Please explain how Cars.com makes a worm-like "confidence" come out of your butt?
4:42 p.m. Patriots driving.
4:43 p.m. Ass-faced kid taunts his grandmother and little sibling with Doritos. Grandma slingshots the kid and gets the Doritos back. As Doritos commercials go, that was cute.
4:43 p.m. I hate the ETrade baby.
4:43 p.m. Nope. I'm not gonna get excited for the "G.I. Joe" sequel. I refuse. But that's a fun, colorful, Jay Z-inflected trailer. If I *were* gonna get excited, that would do it for me...
4:47 p.m. WOODHEAD! TD! 10-9 Patriots!
4:50 p.m. Halftime! I'm gonna go get food while Madonna does her thing. HitFix's Melinda Newman will be live-blogging the Halftime show...
5:03 p.m. As my taquitos heat up, here's Melinda's live-blog.
5:19 p.m. Nice Clint Eastwood commercial for Detroit. Apparently the "Detroit is in a bad place, but resilient" commercial is already a mandatory Super Bowl occurrence. I can live with that. Last year's Eminem commercial was also superior.
5:22 p.m. Incidentally, if it's Halftime in America, as Clint Eastwood told us it is, is Mr. Eastwood predicting the end of our Empire in 2248?
5:28 p.m. TD Hernandez! Brady is on FIRE!
5:28 p.m. "SMASH"!!!! Thank heavens. I was really jonesin'... This is a good Kat McPhee-heavy ad.
5:29 p.m. It is not true that if nobody had challenged the status quo, the world would still be flat. Nor do I know how Infiniti is really challenging the status quo.
5:30 p.m. Ricky Gervais runs from a grenade. Mary-Louise Parker grows weed. Zombies attack. This has something to do with Time-Warner.
5:31 p.m. Cute girl travels the country in her Honda.
5:38 p.m. Solid defensive stand for The Pats. 17-12 for New England.
5:38 p.m. Rumor has it that we're gonna have to wait til the 4th quart for an "Awake" promo.
5:38 p.m. Nerdy man sees a hot Italian woman in the street. He stares at her. She slaps him. Then she teases him. Is the scorpion on the back of her neck supposed to be a tease? It is! It's the logo for the Fiat Abarth.
5:39 p.m. Beth Littleford in a Pepsi Max commercial. Regis also. It's the old "Salesman for one product really like a competitive product" commercial. It's much too familiar to be at all interesting.
5:41 p.m. Toyota reinvented the Camry, so it also invented the couch -- bikini models -- the baby -- no pooping -- and rain -- it makes you skinny. OK
5:42 p.m. More with the TV-watching polar bears. The game isn't going the way one of them wants it to, so he lets out a roar. But Coke makes everything better.
5:43 p.m. John Stamos needs to learn not to tease women with his Greek yogurt.
5:43 p.m. Century 21 commercial features Donald Trump, Deion Sanders -- yes, Deion again -- and Apolo Anton Ohno.
5:44 p.m. Jerry Seinfeld wants a car, so he's doing everything he can to get the No.1 position on the waiting list, including bringing him an alien corpse, the soup Nazi and access to his NYC zip-line line. Really, Jerry wants that Accura. But Jay Leno ends up getting it. Yawn. But then again, I'm not the Seinfeld audience, as we all know.
5:47 p.m. Patriots needed to hold the ball a little longer than that and at least get some field position. Apparently not.
5:48 p.m. It's a sequel to the Budweiser Prohibition ad, taking us through the 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s, apparently suggesting that Budweiser was responsible for everything awesome during that time period, including grunge, walking on the moon, Miracle on Ice and block parties.
5:49 p.m. And a Bridgestone sequel, this one with Tim Duncan and Steve Nash, plus a tire-ized basketball.
5:52 p.m. I'm not grumpy about the game. I'm just getting tense...
5:54 p.m. Well, field goals are better than TDs. But eventually, they aren't...
5:55 p.m. We just skipped over a logical commercial break.
5:59 p.m. On to the 4th Quarter, baby! Two-point game! I guess that's what NBC wants.
5:59 p.m. Nice ad runs through the history of the NFL on a single run-back.
6:00 p.m. Really? The Seinfeld commercial AGAIN? A repeat within 15 minutes of the first showing?
6:01 p.m. We've moved into local spots? Because I'm assuming you aren't getting a Jack-in-the-Box commercial if you aren't in certain markets. Too bad. Clever "marrying bacon" conceit.
6:05 p.m. Finally the much-vaunted Matthew Broderick's Day Off commercial for Honda. While it's plundering my childhood, the message isn't bad.
6:07 p.m. I have no idea what "Act of Valor" is.
6:08 p.m. A wide assortment of cartoon characters come together for MetLife. I'll have to watch it agan to decide if it's a winner. It also may just be pandering to childhood nostalgia.
6:09 p.m. That's a great Kat-centric "Smash" ad. The featured musical number isn't in any of the four episodes I've seen.
6:10 p.m. Getting nervous.
6:11 p.m. Man uses his Hyundai to restart his boss's heart?!?
6:12 p.m. Guy names his dog "WeGo" and trains it to fetch Bud Lights. Ladies love WeGo. Men love WeGo. But a party arrives and poor WeGo fears for his life. The ad ends, oddly, with a note to "Help rescue dogs." Yes. Rescue dogs. And train them to get beer for you.
6:19 p.m. Very nervous.
6:19 p.m. Scary sleep gnome! A little dust yields a slightly happy dream. A whole bucket leads a dream about a Kia, Motley Crue, Adrianna Lima, rhino-rodeo. He ends up with his wife? So that's cute?
6:20 p.m. FINALLY. Monkey bosses. We've seen this basic commercial: Guy's boss and co-worker are awful monkeys, encouraging him to go to CareerBuilder.com. I like monkeys. Always. And forever.
6:21 p.m. Commercial for NBC Thursday comedies conspicuously doesn't mention "Community."
6:25 p.m. Wow. Giants players keep getting hurt and we keep getting injury time-outs. The first commercial includes people who are very impressed with the innovations to their new Samsung phones. It all relates to The Darkness somehow...
6:26 p.m. We've gotten a lot of "Voice" ads, eh?
6:31 p.m. Not feeling good here.
6:38 p.m. I have no interest in blogging about commercials.
6:38 p.m. Cadillac. Taking on BMW. German training course.
6:39 p.m. "Swamp People"? Local time, I guess?
6:40 p.m. There's our "Awake" ad. It does almost nothing to clarify the tone or plot of the show for the uninitiated.
6:44 p.m. Guh.
6:55 p.m. And now? Time to get myself in a state-of-mind to live-blog "The Voice."

Former New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, who was publisher of the newspaper for 34 years beginning in 1963, has died.
Sulzberger died Saturday at his home in New York after a long illness, at the age of 86.
Sulzberger's family bought the newspaper in 1896; his son Arthur Sulzberger Jr. took over from him as publisher in 1992, and as chairman in 1997.
Sulzberger made the decision in 1971 to publish the classified Pentagon Papers, which offered a Defense Department history of the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. The documents were published after the U.S. Supreme Court challenge by the Nixon administration.
The newspaper won 31 Pulitzer Prizes under Sulzberger's tenure. Sulzberger also helped boost subscriptions and annual revenue.
Sulzberger was known by the nickname Punch. He served in the Marines and was a graduate of Columbia College

But the question Wedge usually responded to went like this, "Why not move Sizemore down in the order to take advantage of his power and run production?"
Now with the Indians and Sizemore locked in dueling slumps, Wedge actually indicated that such a move could be in the works.
"Right now, we have to consider everything," said Wedge before the Indians opened a three-game series against Chicago on Monday night. "I don't want you just to isolate on that, but we are considering everything.
"Just giving you that answer right now, is probably more than I've ever done (on the subject of dropping Sizemore in the lineup). There's nothing we haven't walked through or looked at internally or externally."
Wedge said he probably wouldn't move Asdrubal Cabrera into the leadoff spot because he's hit so well in the No.2 spot. He did say there were other candidates to hit leadoff if he had to move Sizemore to give him a chance to regroup.
Jamey Carroll (left hand), on a rehab assignment at Class AAA Columbus, is one of them. Wedge said he could be activated soon.
The Indians entered the series with the worst record in the big leagues at 11-21. Sizemore entered the series hitting .227 (30-for-132) with six homers and 23 RBI. He was third in the AL with 36 strikeouts and in a 3-for-21 slump.
"He's battling right now," said Wedge. "He's doing everything he can. He's just having trouble finding that groove. All it takes is one at bat to find it. I think he's that close to finding it."

"The beheadings are almost identical..." So begins National Book Award finalist and Omaha native Richard Dooling's new novel, Brainstorm, is a rip-roaring legal thriller and social satire that makes John Grisham look like a talented four-year-old!
Time calls it "brilliant."
The New York Times says it "rollicks along as cleverly and boisterously as a Rabelaisian farce."
The St Louis Post Dispatch describes it as "whacky, offbeat, zany."
And The San Jose Mercury News says it's "wake-up-your-spouse-to read-passages-aloud funny."

Widespread flu continues to claim lives in South Carolina as a new death was reported today by the state Department of Health and Environmental Control.
The latest fatality, a Sumer County resident, raised the death toll to 23.
Meanwhile, the Charleston area leads the state in the number of people with confirmed influenza. One death has occurred here, a 73-year-old James Island woman.
We continue to regularly see influenza in both adult and pediatric patients. Most cases continue to occur among those aged 18 to 64 years, said Dr. Cassandra Salgado, associate professor of medicine and infectious diseases program director at the Medical University of South Carolina.
Other than a Barnwell County child, all of the deaths from flu complications have occurred in people ages 50 and above, said Jim Beasley, spokesman for the state Department of Health and Environmental Control.
Visits to clinics and emergency rooms remain well above levels seen this time last year. For the week ending Jan. 12, more than 2,000 people were positive for the rapid flu test compared to 48 for the same time last year. The top three counties for flu-positive people were Charleston, 423, Greenville, 384, and Horry, 205.

You heard of dogs going this, But a horse. This is how my mare looked when I went out to feed in the morning. Yes, she decided to get a closer look at the porcupine. I think she thought it was the barn cat. She had a total of 40 quills in her nose. Thank goodness she didn't try to kill it with her feet otherwise we would have had more quills not just in the nose but on her legs also. They where removed successfully and she made a full recovery. Sure hope she has learned her lesson.
You heard about dogs doing this

The Oneidas Indian Nation Buy Cigarette Factory (10.17.13)
| More |
According to Native Times, the Oneida Nation of New York bought Sovereign Tobacco in October 2008 for 6.6 million, two months after the New York Legislature passed a law that senses to impose the state's tobacco tax on cigarettes sold on reservations. By operating its own manufacturing company, the tribe could avoid legal issues surrounding the tax.

'I found the course tough but very good. Michael Ryan is an excellent tutor with a dynamic style. Hopefully it will now bring new opportunties my way'
Train the Trainer Course, Cork – Feb. 2011
'Daralinn's Training Centre is top class and the tutor's knowledge was extremely comprehensive'
RTITB Forklift Course – Jan 21st 2011
'Excellent, not what I was expecting at all and was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting to be filled with information, but the course structure was far more challenging. I like the idea of self directed learning, and in fact proved to myself it worked'
Siemens Ireland – Train the Trainer Course, July 2010
'Michael is really inspiring. He is like a hurricane blowing in your face. He opened my mind, he made me look at thing different and I can just say he is a fantastic trainer'
Siemens Ireland – Train the Trainer Course, July 2010
'Michael is a trainer who personifies the FETAC model. He makes the learner learn from practical experience and he does put you on the spot for this. I suppose he would tailor his approach according to the class as I suppose quite a lot of us would have done some presenting at one stage or another but he did challenge us which we may have grumbled at but appreciated'
Fingal County Council – Train the Trainer, Aug 2010
'I found Michael to be initially abrupt, but very quickly I discovered that this was in fact challenging me in my comfort zone and it was exactly what I needed. He was very supportive during the whole process and I have recommended him to other organisations as a trainer'
Fingal County Council – Train the Trainer, Aug 2010

With Congress launching debate on a new farm bill, there's no better time for Pennsylvania's congressional delegation to bring some sizzle to a major reform affecting one of the state's biggest farming sectors.
As the nation's third-largest egg producer, Pennsylvania has a major stake in a proposal introduced last week in the Senate — and already gathering sponsors in the House — that would improve living conditions for egg-laying chickens.
Following the lead of several states, the federal push to gradually shift all U.S. farms to larger cages for more than 250 million hens crammed into spaces so tight they can't spread a wing has been getting bipartisan backing.

Feds offer $55,000 reward in NM shooting case
Federal officials say they're now offering a $55,000 reward for an arrest and conviction related to the 2007 shooting of a park ranger at a northern New Mexico lake.
The FBI and officials with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced the reward at a news conference in Albuquerque on Friday. The FBI is pitching in $25,000 and the corps $30,000.
The shooting happened the morning of Dec. 1, 2007, after Park Ranger Alfred Chavez noticed someone had tampered with a lock and chain on a pump house gate near Abiquiu Lake.
Two men left the pump house as he was investigating. One of them pulled out a revolver and fired two shots. One of the bullets hit Chavez above the knee.
Chavez survived, but the men still have not been caught.

MOBILE, Ala. - The Senior Bowl, once again, was not the place to find wide receivers who will be selected in the first round of the draft.
But buzz had already developed here about a group of underclassmen who could make the 2014 draft the deepest at the receiver position in years. And that could affect how the Eagles approach re-signing Riley Cooper and Jeremy Maclin.
Free agency is more than six weeks away, though, and a poll of coaches, executives, scouts, and agents suggested the Eagles would likely keep both wide receivers. As one NFC executive put it, "Who else will like Cooper as much as Chip [Kelly]?" And as an AFC coach posited, "Only the Eagles know how healthy Maclin is."

David Knopfler walked away from being a rock star, but he never walked away from music.
Back in 1977, Knopfler founded Dire Straits with three fellow Brits – his brother Mark, bassist John Illsley and drummer Pick Withers. The band had some quick success with its great song "Sultans of Swing" and was on its way to becoming much bigger when David Knopfler decided to walk away in 1980.
According to Knopfler, the world of drugs, nonstop touring and phony, overbearing music executives was not to his liking. And he felt musically dominated by his talented brother, who quickly made the band his own.
"Believe it or not, for about five minutes, I was the leader of that band," Knopfler said in a telephone interview last week. "Mark just took over. I don't blame him. I'd just rather be the director of my own life than the strummer for someone else's dreams."
He'll probably never reach the level of stardom of Dire Straits, which broke up in 1995, or his highly regarded, still-a-rock-star brother, but Knopfler, now 60, has proudly done things his own way ever since.
He's recorded about a dozen well-received albums, and he still tours the United States and Europe, playing small venues with his guitarist friend Harry Bogdanovs. They'll make a Buffalo visit Sunday, playing a 6 p.m. show at the Sportsmen's Tavern, 326 Amherst St. Tickets are $25.
Knopfler's voice is a near dead ringer for his brother's, and some of his songs will remind listeners of Dire Straits' work. But his music also bears the unmistakable influence of one of his biggest musical heroes, Bob Dylan. Knopfler is a first-rate folk music balladeer.
"As a rule, we play my own material," Knopfler said. "It's a stripped-down sound – acoustic guitars and occasionally a bit of piano."
Knopfler knows he walked away from a lot of cash and exciting times when he left Dire Straits, but he seems to be at peace with the decision.
"There was a lot of depravity around. … I'm not a fan of celebrity and fame," he said. "You can climb that ladder and find out that's not where you want to be."
Knopfler came from a musical family in northern England. His mother was a piano player, and an uncle played banjo. Mark, four years older than David, excelled on the guitar, and sister Ruth became a classical cellist.
As a kid, Knopfler was playing guitar, piano and drums. By age 11, he was playing in bands. At age 14, he was playing his own music in folk clubs.
Growing up in England while British bands were taking over America's music scene, Knopfler loved the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the Kinks. But Dylan was the artist who really inspired him.
"My sister brought home two of his early albums one day, and the music just stopped me in my tracks. I could not stop listening to those songs," Knopfler said.
Though he has a home near London and travels all over the U.S. and Europe, Knopfler spends a lot of his time just 65 miles away from Buffalo in Geneseo. He often stays there with his longtime girlfriend, Leslie Stroz, a painter and art professor at SUNY Geneseo State.
He has become an astute observer of America's culture, media and politics. He said it distresses him to see how big business controls many of America's politicians.
"I have a very good handle on how politics work in New York State, and it despairs me," he said. "America seems to have the best of everything, and the worst of everything."
Knopfler rarely sees his famous older brother these days.
"Just weddings and funerals, that sort of thing," he said. "We're not really in touch."
With that said, Knopfler added that he respects his brother's music and would not rule out performing with him again someday.
"It would be lovely, but I don't think so," he said. "The ball's in his court."

Managing SEO and Social Media Together
How etailers manage their social media marketing channel has a growing impact on organic search results. Google and Bing have both incorporated social data into their algorithms to signal content freshness and quality. While the datasets each engine has access to differ, the fact remains that search marketing and social media cannot be managed in silos.
According to the presentation given by Andrea Fishman, vice president of global strategy at BGT Partners — a marketing and design firm — at Search Engine Strategies Chicago 2011, "57% of digital marketing impact is derived from SEO." But search engine optimization also has a symbiotic relationship with social media, press relations, paid search, offline advertising, and other marketing channels. Though the focus of this article is on organic search and social, when all the marketing teams work together the combined efforts create an upward spiral of success across all channels.
A Search and Social Example
As usual with SEO, it all starts with content. An etailer needs a creative angle to develop interesting, valuable, sharable content that remains relevant to its core product set. For example, ADT Security produced an interesting infographic on safety and home automation systems for its blog. If this were merely a blog post, there's no chance I'd read it. But an infographic? That's a different matter. It lures the eyes in with its seemingly easy-to-digest information and interesting sequential information flow. Apparently ADT's audience agreed; just look at these results as reported by BGT's Fishman:
- 17 percent increase in social connections;
- 53 percent increase branded buzz;
- 47 percent increase organic search to ADT.com;
- 305 percent increase organic search to homesecuritysource.com, ADT's unbranded blog;
- 45 percent increase in organic leads.
Great Content Still Reigns Supreme
The etailer still needs to create, optimize and publish valuable content, managing it through the various relevant social and other marketing channels. Search Engine Land, the online magazine, recently posted a great list of 21 types of social content to get the team's creative juices flowing. Exactly how and how persistently the etailer goes about the promotion of this content across marketing channels will to a large extent determine the success of the campaign. Assuming the content is valuable to the audience, blasting it out via Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, StumbleUpon, and any niche social networks is just the start.
Don't forget to blog about the amazing new content, and reach out to other bloggers to let them know you have an amazing new infographic or piece of content their audience will desire. This process will be much more successful if you've already been courting influential bloggers in your industry so they're ready to receive the content. Have the public relations team reach out to the relevant trade publications and blogs. Include it in the next email newsletter. Was the making of the content particularly interesting? Then perhaps a companion "making of" video on YouTube would be another valuable promotional tool. Is there an interesting or beautifully designed visual involved? Upload it to Pinterest. Naturally it helps immensely to have the accounts already set up and populated with interesting content and followers before it's time to promote a new campaign through tem. Last, but certainly not least, have team members with social profiles spread the word to their networks as well to maximize the initial reach?
Once the content is live and published through all the social and marketing channels, it's in the audience's hands. Will they like it? With they like it enough to share it, Like it, Tweet it, email it to a friend, comment on the blog post, write their own blog post about it or interact with it in some other way? The more the audience interacts with and shares that content, the greater the content's reach will be.
How Social Campaigns Benefit SEO
And how does a social campaign impact SEO? Because every "share" creates a page with a unique URL that has a link back to the content promoted, as well as exposing an ever-larger number of people to the content. The more people exposed, the more people are likely share and create more links. Some of those links will be directly valuable to SEO efforts, especially links in blog posts and the press, as well as Google +1s. But Likes, Tweets, shares on LinkedIn and other networks also represent social SEO value, where each share is a vote of quality. They may not pass link popularity directly, but they pass social signals that serve as similar indications of trust and quality as links do.
With 4 billion pieces of information shared on Facebook, 140 million Tweets and more than 3 billion searches conducted every day, etailers have countless opportunities to lure customers to their sites through search and social. Remember to treat social media as a revenue-generating platform, not just a one-way bullhorn for shouting at followers. Create great content, promote it widely through social media and other marketing channels, interact with followers on those social sites, measure the campaign's performance, learn from the successes and failures, and do it again.

It's an excellent take on managing SEO and social media together. After reading this post, I came to know the importance of good content as you have given the example of infographic in driving traffic and how it can spread virally in other social media. I recently read a similar article on how a marketing consultant need to be in terms of managing both the SEO and the social media.http://www.dotcominfoway.com/blog/how-to-effectively-manage-your-seo-and-social-media-campaigns.

Quotations About / On: SYMPATHY
Page :
It is due to justice; due to humanity; due to truth; to the sympathies of our nature; in fine, to our character as a people, both abroad and at home, that they should be considered, as much as possible, in the light of human beings, and not as mere property.(James Madison (1751-1836), U.S. president. Speaking of the slaves in Virginia. The Mind of the Founder: Sources of the Political Thought of James Madison, p. 514, ed. Marvin Meyers, Indianapolis (1973).)
... while many people pride themselves, and with no exaggeration, on their ability to hear with sympathy of the downfall, sickness, and death of others, very few people seem to know what to do with a report of joy, happiness, good luck.(Jessamyn West (1902-1984), U.S. novelist. To See the Dream, part 2 (1956).)
While it may not heighten our sympathy, wit widens our horizons by its flashes, revealing remote hidden affiliations and drawing laughter from far afield; humor, in contrast, strikes up fellow feeling, and though it does not leap so much across time and space, enriches our insight into the universal in familiar things, lending it a local habitation and a name.(Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 5, Yale University Press (1961).)
In their sympathies, children feel nearer animals than adults. They frolic with animals, caress them, share with them feelings neither has words for. Have they ever stroked any adult with the love they bestow on a cat? Hugged any grownup with the ecstasy they feel when clasping a puppy?(Jessamyn West (1907-1984), U.S. novelist and autobiographer. The Life I Really Lived, part 1 (1979).)
It is by a wise economy of nature that those who suffer without change, and whom no one can help, become uninteresting. Yet so it may happen that those who need sympathy the most often attract it the least.(F.H. (Francis Herbert) Bradley (1846-1924), British philosopher. Aphorisms, no. 22 (1930).)
It is in the comprehension of the physically disabled, or disordered ... that we are behind our age.... sympathy as a fine art is backward in the growth of progress ...(Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844-1911), U.S. novelist and short story writer. Chapters from a Life, ch. 11 (1897).)More quotations from: Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, sympathy
It is in our faults and failings, not in our virtues, that we touch each other, and find sympathy.... It is in our follies that we are one.(Jerome K. Jerome (1859-1927), British author. "On Vanity and Vanities," Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow (1889).)More quotations from: Jerome K Jerome, sympathy
For the bright side of the painting I had a limited sympathy. My visions were of shipwreck and famine; of death or captivity among barbarian hordes; of a lifetime dragged out in sorrow and tears, upon some gray and desolate rock, in an ocean unapproachable and unknown.(Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849), U.S. author. Pym, the narrator, in The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym, ch. 2, Harper and Brothers (1838). Youthful fantasies of wild and extreme adventures.)
Thus to him, to this schoolboy under the bending dome of day, is suggested that he and it proceed from one root; one is leaf and one is flower; relation, sympathy, stirring in every vein. And what is that root? Is not that the soul of his soul?(Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), U.S. essayist, poet, philosopher. Oration, August 31, 1837, delivered before the Phi Beta Kappa Society, Cambridge, Massachusetts. "The American Scholar," repr. In Emerson: Essays and Lectures, ed. Joel Porte (1983).)More quotations from: Ralph Waldo Emerson, sympathy, flower
I am grown by sympathy a little eager and sentimental, but leave me alone, and I should relish every hour and what it brought me, the pot-luck of the day, as heartily as the oldest gossip in the bar-room.(Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882), U.S. essayist, poet, philosopher. "Experience," Essays, Second Series (1844).)

NEW YORK — Police say a 3-year-old girl who somehow got locked inside her family's sixth-floor bathroom fell to her death before her parents could get the door open.
The girl — identified by police as Rusroshi Barua — was taken to Elmhurst Hospital where she was pronounced dead Sunday afternoon.
She landed in a backyard about 60 feet below the bathroom window of the Queens apartment building.
Police say she got locked inside with her little sister.
Police say there were no bars on the window.
It wasn't immediately clear if the window was open when the girls went inside.
No criminality is suspected.

It's baked chicken for dinner. Yum! Baby is in his chair, looking at the oaty-o's disdainfully. "Where's mine?" his look seems to say.
Coming right up if you've made a batch of "perfect chicken puree!" -- nutrition and perfect in texture for your baby. Here's how:
3 Boneless chicken breasts
1 can (14 oz.) low-sodium chicken broth
1. Cook:
Place chicken in a pot of low-sodium chicken broth. Bring the pot to a boil over high heat. Turn down to low heat, cover and simmer until the chicken is done, about 15 to 20 minutes. Do not let the water boil off; add more water if necessary. To test whether it is done, remove a piece of chicken and cut it in half. If it is thoroughly cooked, the chicken meat will be white or light brown all the way through. Remove chicken pieces from the pan, reserving the cooking broth. Let chicken cool and chop into small pieces.
2. Puree:
Put the chicken pieces and &frac;12 cup of the cooking broth in a blender or food processor. Puree the food, adding an additional ¼ to &frac;12 cup of broth to get a smooth texture. At least once during the puree process, stop the appliance and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula.
3. Freeze:
Spoon the pureed chicken into ice cube trays and cover them. Put them in the freezer for 8 to 10 hours or overnight.
4. Pop and Store:
Write "CHICKEN" and the date on a freezer storage bag. Remove the baby food trays from the freezer and quickly run hot water over the back of the tray. Twist the tray to pop the chicken cubes out and into the freezer storage bag. Place the storage bag in the freezer.
Makes: About 24 one-ounce servings

Black has better than 4...Ne8 : 4...a5 and if 5.Bxa5 Ra6 gets out of the pin. Of course, White has one more exchange and two connected passers, so he should win. But maybe better is even (4...a5) 5.Be1 ! after which 5...a4 6.Rf2 axb3 7.axb3 is only a very tiny improvement (Black is still dead lost).
I don't see the advantage of 4... a5:
4…a5 5. Be1 a4 [6. bxa4 Bxa4 7. Rxc6 Bxc6] 6. Rf2 axb3 7. axb3 [Bxb3?? 8. Rxc6 1-0]
I don't see why you give Be1 a "!", but sure. Rook connectivity isn't too key here, it's not that noteworthy of a move. Black trades pawn for pawn, giving white a passed B-pawn. Seems bad.
Actually, the b passed pawn is not a key factor here. Black is trying everything he can to avoid losing a piece. If he can get a try to swindle White even at the cost of a pawn, he must take it.
Ok, 4...a5 is not "better", it's only more tricky. At least a better try than 4...Ne8.

Minty and teal shades have been hugely popular in recent sneaker designs, their popularity owing to the combination of the 'South Beach' phenomenon and the fact that they compliment so many colors so well, that they can both appear on a huge variety of sneaker palettes and mix with so many different clothing options. This new Nike Air Max 90 for summer 2012 in Granite with Lush Teal and New Green accents is a perfect example, its appearance all at once eye-catching and suitable to pair with basically every non-green color (and even some of those, chosen carefully). Have a closer look after the jump below and find yours at Nike Sportswear retailers like Oneness.

Today we speak with comedian/actor/writer/director Michael Ian Black. Black's hilarious credits include MTV's The State, Comedy Central's Stella, and the cult classic Wet Hot American Summer. He's probably best known to the general public as being the standout quipper on VH1's "I Love the (Insert Decade Here)" specials. Black's latest project is Run Fatboy Run. He wrote the original screenplay for the film, which was directed by David Schwimmer and stars Simon Pegg, Hank Azaria, and Thandie Newton.
Cinematical: Would you tell our readers a bit about Run Fatboy Run?
Michael Ian Black: Sure. It's a lovely and funny romantic comedy about a guy who has never finished anything in his life who decides to run a marathon.
Cinematical: What inspired you to write the film?
MIB: I wanted to write something a little more mainstream than what I am normally known for. I had just written two screenplays that were more left of center and I wanted to challenge myself to try to write something that I thought would be a little more accessible.
Cinematical: Are you a marathon man? Why do people do this to themselves?
MIB: I've never run further than a couple miles. I have no idea why somebody would subject themselves to the agony of running for twenty-six miles. Particularly if they've got a car. strong>Cinematical: You're co-credited on the screenplay with Simon Pegg. Did you guys work together or was it separate drafts? How does that process work?
MIB: Separate drafts. I wrote it, then he came in and reset the thing in London. He also changed small bits here and there, mostly for the better, I think. He's a very talented writer.
Cinematical: How did David Schwimmer come on board as director? It's his feature debut, were you a little nervous having a first-timer tackle your material?
MIB: David came on board fairly early in the process. I can't say I was nervous exactly, but because I didn't know him or his directing work, nor was I entirely confident. In the end, I thought he did a fantastic job.
Cinematical: What's the funniest line you ever wrote?
MIB: I honestly have no idea.
Cinematical: What is your writing process, from initial idea to completed script?
MIB: It depends on what I'm doing - sometimes I have a fully fleshed out idea, sometimes I just have a fragment. How you start doesn't really matter. The important part is plugging away once you begin.
Cinematical: Could I ask you to make a lame, obvious analogy comparing writing a screenplay to running a marathon?
MIB: Both require excellent footwear.
Cinematical: Thank you. Who are some performers you find really funny?
MIB: I like Jim Gaffigan, Louis C.K., Will Ferrell...others.
Cinematical: What are some of your favorite comedy screenplays?
MIB: Rushmore, Flirting with Disaster, Animal House.
Cinematical: Few movies make me laugh harder than Wet Hot American Summer. Did you know you had gold when you were on the set?
MIB: We all felt like we were making something special, but that a lot of people just wouldn't get it. The response it has gotten over the years was exactly what I was expecting: terrible initial reaction, followed by a long afterlife.
Cinematical: What's going on with The State DVDs? Will they contain the entire series? Any special features? Any word on a release date?
MIB: Yes, there is a State DVD in MTV's vaults. There is commentary on it, it includes the entire series...and I have no idea when they will release it.
Cinematical: Do you have any pieces of advice for aspiring comedy writers?
MIB: Stay true to yourself. If you think it's funny, somebody else probably will, too. Successful comedy rests on having unique points of view. When something gets too watered down, it loses its bite.
Cinematical: What's next for Michael Ian Black (You)?
MIB: I just wrote a book called My Custom Van, that comes out in July. It's a collection of humorous essays. Also, a children's book called Chicken Cheeks, that comes out in January. And I continue to work on television projects.
Cinematical Reader TLJ asks: "If nature decides that you can't be both dashingly handsome and a comedy genius, which would you give up - the pretty or the talent?"
MIB: Thank God I'm blessed with both so I never have to choose.
Run Fatboy Run opens this Friday.

AUBURN HILLS, MI -- A top employee of Tom Gores claims his boss isn't the absentee owner of the Detroit Pistons that some critics might make him out to be.
Dennis Mannion, CEO of Palace Sports and Entertainment, said Wednesday during a media tour of the venue that Gores is in contact with the team on a daily basis, especially now that it faces coaching uncertainty.
And Mannion claims that engagement from Gores will likely only intensify as it decides what direction it should go after Sunday's firing of Maurice Cheeks.
"Every time I read something that says he's absent I think 'What are you, crazy?," Mannion said "He's phenomenal; he has 35 companies.
"I think he touches all of them - this one in particular with regularity."
When Mannion refereed to "this one," he also meant the entire Palace Sports & Entertainment operation that includes Gores properties like The Palace of Auburn Hills, DTE Energy Music Theatre and Meadow Brook Music Festival.
Mannion said Gores, a 49-year-old billionaire who lives in Beverly Hills, Calif., is so engaged that he's texting him on a daily basis about topics ranging from concert accommodations to concession stand menu items.
"Let's put it this way: Some of us are dominate right brain and some of us are dominate left," Mannion said. "I think he's dominate both. So we end up with this guy who is doing the numbers, but adding creativity to it, too."
Mannion added that Gores, who grew up near Flint, isn't the kind of owner that "would hammer you on the return of investment right away," but always has the bottom line in the back of his mind.
Since Gores bought the Pistons and Palace Sports & Entertainment empire in 2011, Mannion estimates his boss has likely invested more than $40 million into the Palace of Auburn Hills alone.
Asked if Palace Sports & Entertainment is concerned about lackluster attendance at Pistons games, Mannion expressed optimism that the team's young talent will eventually help it get crowds back.
The Pistons, as of Wednesday, had a 22-29 record, were winners of three straight games and just a game behind Charlotte for the eighth seed in the playoffs.
"While we haven't been playing great basketball, we have had an opportunity to put ourselves in a position to be able to market and keep those people down the road," Mannion said. "And that's a good thing.
"We have a database and can go back and say 'We know you were at the Brooklyn Nets game; we know you enjoyed X, Y and X, and we'd love to have you back again."
Mannion points to a 33 percent jump in season tickets sales during the preseason - after the acquisitions of players Brandon Jennings and Josh Smith - as a reason to be hopeful for a winning resurgence.
In the meantime, The Palace of Auburn Hills' recent improvements to its facility can only help entice more visitors to check the venue out for all types of events, Mannion said.
"It's on parallel tracks," Mannion said." I think the business side and the basketball side are both growing out. We have a super-young business staff, and they're learning the ropes as we go along, too."

Sinnott to present 2014 city budget tonight
Erie City Council President Jim Winarski doesn't expect any huge surprises when Mayor Joe Sinnott unveils his 2014 general fund budget proposal tonight.
However, Winarski does expect to get to work soon, with his colleagues, when it comes to sifting through the financial details.
"Our first session could be as early as Thursday night. We could have one Saturday," Winarski said. "As soon as we can get everyone together, we'll start."
Sinnott will present his budget during City Council's regular meeting, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Bagnoni Council Chambers at City Hall.
Sinnott has declined to discuss details. But he has said in previous interviews that the budget is likely to be on track with forecasts in his midyear financial report, presented to City Council on Aug. 7.
That report predicted a general fund surplus of $191,081 and forecast that the city will collect $62,836,526 in revenue, or about $442,000 less than originally budgeted. The report was based on revenue and expenditures through June.
Spending for 2013 was projected at $62,645,445 in the report, or more than $633,000 less than originally budgeted.
City Council typically starts it budget deliberations by meeting with the directors of various city departments.
