Dave's Rating:
Cashmere mourning jacket by Tom Ford.
Who's In It: Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode, Ginnifer Goodwin, Nicholas Hoult, Lee Pace
The Basics: It's 1962 and Colin Firth is a gay college professor whose longtime partner has died in a car accident. Still grieving the loss, he spends a full day moving through Los Angeles with one destination in mind: his own heartbroken suicide. Along the way he lectures his students, meets a hustler, encounters his routinely homophobic neighbors, methodically ties up loose ends, dines with his boozy pal Julianne Moore and then skinny dips with a flirtatious male student. That he does all this wearing an impeccably tailored Tom Ford suit (maybe the first time someone other than Barbra Streisand has simultaneously costumed and directed a movie) and living in an astoundingly cool, glass-walled, Mid-Century Modern home, makes you feel only slightly less sorry for him and his melancholy state.
What's The Deal: Fashion designer-turned-filmmaker Tom Ford has said in several interviews that this isn't a gay movie. And he's kind of right. Unlike, say, Brokeback Mountain, where the plot hinged on the misery of being trapped in the closet, this film's sadness is, on one level, about simple spousal grief. Less simple are the pointed moments about what it meant to be gay guy in 1962 and all the indignities those Bad Old Days had to offer a homosexual, like mourning the loss of your loving spouse privately and staying invisible to everyone else. That and how, if you're gay, it's still always a bad idea to be too close to the tipsy female friend you used to do "it" with back when you thought you had no choice in the matter. She always winds up falling down drunk and wearing crazy Halloween monster-wigs just to keep your attention.
Breaking The Mr. Darcy Straitjacket: It had reached a point in Colin Firth's career that he was more or less the same handsome, witty, yet gettable crush for all kinds of mainstream audiences. He was Hugh Grant for people who thought Hugh Grant was too into being funny to be taken seriously. But then his films got bigger and worse and after Mamma Mia! you would be forgiven for thinking he was lost to the Dumb Movie Vortex forever. But he's the sturdiest reason for seeing this movie. He'll move you unless you're made of rock.
Better to Look Good Than To Feel Good: The main complaint I've heard about this movie (and I try not to listen but sometimes you're just trapped in the same elevator with other film critics) is that its emotional power is diluted by Tom Ford's obsessive need for it all to look like a fashion spread. And, sure, every frame of this movie is meticulously designed and beautiful to look at. But those luxurious surfaces are this character's only defense against the world. It's an extension of his suit of armor. So it serves a purpose beyond mere prettiness. And frankly I've seen enough ugly crap like Old Dogs to last me my whole life. Let the artfully half-shaved man make stuff look awesome all day if he wants.
This is another piece of cinematic garbage that promotes and condones the proliferation of disgusting, immoral and perverted homosexual sex. I was surprised and disappointed that some of my favorite actors—Colin Firth and Matthew Goode—would not only consent to participate in this movie, but to be the actual participants in the realistic or implied homosexual activity. I actually purchased this movie, without seeing a preview. If the synopsis on the DVD insert had been more specific, I would not even have rented it, much less purchased it. I wish I had had the benefit of Dave White's review before making the mistake of purchasing it solely on the basis that two of my favorite actors were part of the cast.

By Dr. Jackson N. Sasser, PresidentSanta Fe College, Gainesville, FL
"Our current thinking about national strategy and national security is skewed towards the military element of power…economic power is and always has been the primary determinant of national power and, therefore, national security…"- "National Power and a National Economic Strategy," U.S. Army War College1
Santa Fe College is essential for national security. This is not widely acknowledged for two primary reasons:
Only community colleges can quickly offer programs to educate knowledge workers needed for high-end technological industries to corner market share in the new global economy. History shows a nation must be economically strong to lead the world politically, culturally and militarily.
The United States cannot compete against low-wage industries abroad that produce low-tech products. The nation can succeed by producing high-tech products that are ahead of the capabilities of foreign competitors.
Global thinking is applied locally in the unique partnership named "Innovation Gainesville." This initiative builds upon the successful WorkForce Florida by bringing together the latest products-related research from the University of Florida, finance from venture capitalists, know-how from entrepreneurs many of whom are local, and Santa Fe programs to educate employees necessary for new companies to thrive.
Florida's Existing Workforce Education System
WorkForce Florida is a legislatively-enabled public-private partnership that develops programs to educate students in specific skills needed by selected industries. Partners include industry, business, local and state governments, education K-to-post graduate, and interested citizens and philanthropists.
The Florida system has:
Innovation Gainesville and Santa Fe College
WorkForce Florida is amplified by Innovation Gainesville, a new public-private consortium of the University of Florida, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and Santa Fe College. "IG" quickly converts university research into products that succeed in global markets and provide well-paying jobs at home.
Backing for IG is provided by The Greater Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce and its Council for Economic Outreach, which recruits outside or supports local industries, and local governments that provide suitable regulations and infrastructure.
UF is building the Florida Innovation Hub, a multi-million-dollar facility near its campus to house offices for research departments, technology licensing, venture capital, business incubators, and Santa Fe.
SF's Center for Innovation and Economic Development is an incubator three blocks from the Innovation Hub. The CIED typically supports local single entrepreneurs with courses, offices, clerical staff, and insurance and licensing.
1. A condition for an initiative like IG is a nearby graduate research university. Proximity is necessary for mingling, brainstorming and action on circumstances arising from the confluence of venture capitalists, university researchers, entrepreneurs and community college workforce educators.
2. Local governments, chambers of commerce and economic development organizations must support cooperatively.
3. A culture of public-private partnerships is needed for constituents to have opportunities to develop viable companies. WorkForce Florida was the statewide foundation for Innovation Gainesville.
4. A coherent national policy resembling WorkForce Florida and Innovation Gainesville is needed. The federal government should facilitate but not manage. There is hope because national rhetoric and programs recognize the need to apply our prowess in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
5. Community colleges should forcefully assert they are a sine qua non for national prosperity in a competitive world. We have not clearly stated that the nation must fully utilize our workforce programs if the economy is to be restored to prosperity and continued preeminence.
"The nation's ability to satisfy its future workforce needs, maintain its competitive advantage in key sectors like manufacturing, and meet the goal of regaining leadership in college completion will depend greatly on the contribution of the community college sector." -- Brookings Institution2

Manchester City are reportedly set to miss out on Real Madrid star Kaka, with the Brazilian instead ready to swap the Santiago Bernabeu for a move to Turkey in the January transfer window.
The Real Madrid midfielder has been a target for Manchester City, reports the Daily Express, but Kaka is now appears to be heading for a transfer to Istanbul giants Galatasaray.
Kaka has struggled with injuries since his €65 million move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2009 and his time with Los Blancos appears to be edging towards an end.
The 30-year-old has made 102 appearances during four seasons with Real Madrid, but Kaka finds himself behind the likes of Mesut Ozil and Luka Modric in Jose Mourinho's selection order.
A move to Manchester City, though, would seem unlikely with Galatasaray reportedly in the driving seat ahead of the Etihad Stadium outfit as the January transfer window approaches.
Meanwhile, Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli continues to be linked with a winter exit from the club following his dismal display in the derby defeat to Manchester United.

Stealing Beauty
The verdict on Winona's courtroom attire.
Winona Wear. She's guilty ... of being completely adorable! The New York Times' Rick Lyman lauded the saucer-eyed felon's "conservative but very chic outfits" (including "a black Marc Jacobs dress with peach-and-white collar trim that crisscrossed at the bosom"). A fashion spread in USA Today featured a trial consultant's semiotic analysis. But the funniest observations are found on John Callender's site, where he wryly analyzed her outfits day by day ("Winona Day IV: Green and Frumpy"), offering highest praise for a stunning white dress. "I felt like Saul on the road to Damascus, lying there in the dust, shielding my eyes from its radiance."
8 Mile (Universal). In this breakout performance, Eminem projects "the scurrilous, soft-eyed yearning of a hip-hop James Dean," writes Owen Gleiberman in Entertainment Weekly. While the movie itself may be "an old-fashioned somebody-up-there-likes-me kind of story, replete with traditional plot devices" (Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times), most critics say it works. "Flaws and all, it really does show a star being born," writes Michael Wilmington in the Chicago Tribune. (Buy tickets for 8 Mile.)
Far From Heaven (Focus). Critics swoon for Todd Haynes' " supremely intelligent pastiche," labeling this Sirkian melodrama "bold and brilliant," "riveting, rapturous fun," a "joyous cinematic experience" (and a bunch of other really, really positive phrases that make me want to see it immediately!) "The most casual moments are suffused with a feeling of emotional extremity; the air is as charged and threatening as it might be in a horror film," raves A O. Scott in the New York Times." Special kudos for Julianne Moore's "devastating" performance as a yearning '50s housewife. (Buy tickets for Far From Heaven.)
Femme Fatale (Warner Bros.). Choose your critical stance: giddy embrace, guilty embrace, or eye-rolling? The Los Angeles Times' Manohla Dargis calls De Palma's porny romp an " exuberant, blissfully entertaining new thriller." In the Washington Post, Stephen Hunter describes it as "so full of astonishments, cornball revelations, succulent camerawork, vivid angles into the action and all the other candy of movies, that you forget how stupid it is." Meanwhile, in the New York Post, Megan Turner gripes that "no amount of cinematic artifice can varnish over the fact that this is simply a bad film." (Buy tickets for Femme Fatale.)
Journals, by Kurt Cobain (Riverhead Books). "I hope I die before I become Pete Townshend," Cobain wrote in these diaries. In the London Observer, Townshend responds: "Why? Because I had become a bore? Because I had failed to die young?" Cobain's scribblings are "devastatingly hard to contemplate," writes Townshend, "the scribblings of a crazed and depressed drug-addict"—a state of mind, he adds, he knows all too well. (Click here for the unedited version, posted on Townshend's Web site.) But if Townshend is harshly empathetic, the Boston Globe's Steve Morse seems downright freaked, calling it "degrading to think that [Cobain's] widow could make a dime from such private nightmares." And in the New York Daily News, Jim Farber suggests listening to the music for "a wit, liveliness and transformative power these depressing little scrawls can't touch." Only Salon's Bomani Jones sees value in excerpts of the journals: "Simple and plain, Kurt Cobain was a fuckin' genius." (Journals, or read excerpts here.)
Dead Cities, by Mike Davis (New Press). Cassandra comparisons abound, as does frustration with the book's fact-fudging. The Wall Street Journal's Mark Lasswell calls him a "professional scourge with dodgy methodology" while the Village Voice's Jim Lewis prefers "merchant of spiritless misanthropy." But in the New York Times, John Sutherland takes a wryer, more wait-and-see stance, praising Davis' insights but noting, "There comes a point in all Davis's tirades when, like a poker player, he calls the reader. Do we go along with him or fold? Many, I suspect, will fold." (Buy Dead Cities.)
Reversible Errors, by Scott Turow (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux). "[L]et's agree to dispense with the unnecessary modifiers and just call Scott Turow a novelist," cheers Wendy Lesser in the New York Times, praising "page turners that are also pleasing literary artifacts, mysteries that are also investigations into complicated social questions and complex human emotions." She might be speaking directly to the breathtakingly condescending Marta Salij, who cheers "[ Go] Scott!" for his few "nice images" and describes the Turow demographic as "those bright folks who live for 'Law & Order' reruns." Still, even if they stick with pigeonholing, critics universally praise Turow's " literate and fluid" prose and "multidimensional" characters. (Reversible Errors.)
Movin' Out, by Twyla Tharp (Richard Rodgers Theater). "Here is bone marrow, mainstream pop authenticity on a street best known for the ersatz and the sanitized," raves Linda Winer in Newsday of this oddball Twyla Tharp/Billy Joel collaboration. "When Eddie, who is a car mechanic, does a grande pirouette à la seconde, it doesn't look put on; it looks beautiful, and makes him noble and important, the same way it would in 'Swan Lake,' " writes Joan Acocella in The New Yorker. But there are also a few naysayers. "[O]ne long string of baby boomer bromides," gripes Jim Farber in the Daily News. "[ M]ore dizzying than dazzling," shrugs USA Today's Elysa Gardner.

Twitter Challenges Court Ruling That Twitter Users Have No Standing To Protect Their Own Account Info
from the good-for-them dept
This was based on a total misreading of Twitter's terms of service, which have been clear from very early on that poster's retain control over the content in their tweets. All they do is grant Twitter a license to display them. The NY court, bizarrely, interpreted this to mean the user gave up control over the tweets, even though Twitter's own terms of service say exactly the opposite.
In response, Twitter has now stood up for its user and filed its own motion in support of Harris, that the April 20th order stating that Harris had no standing should be rejected. It points to the above, as well as to US law that says users can challenge 2703(d) orders. On top of that, it points out that complying clearly seems to violate the 4th Amendment. In an interesting argument, it relies on the recently decided Jones case that said that even if certain information is "public" (e.g., location or tweets), it may still require a warrant to collect.
As Twitter notes, saying that its users can't move to quash such requests sets a problematic precedent:
If the Order stands, Twitter will be put in the untenable position of either providing user communications and account information in response to all subpoenas or attempting to vindicate its users' rights by moving to quash these subpoenas itself--even though Twitter will often know little or nothing about the underlying facts necessary to support their users' argument that the subpoenas may be improper.It's nice to see a company like Twitter standing up for its users. It's unfortunately rare these days, when many companies simply roll over the second the government comes calling.

What follows is a slightly altered version of a two-part series of posts I recently wrote, now combined as my entry for Pussy Goes Grrr's Juxtaposition Blogathon:
In the realm of categories, black is always marked as a color [...], and is always particularizing; whereas white is not anything really, not an identity, not a particularizing quality, because it is everything -- white is no color because it is all colors. This property of whiteness, to be everything and nothing, is the source of its representational power.
-- p. 127, Richard Dyer's "White" from The Matter of Images
Reading Dyer's above quoted essay reminded me of the classic Saturday Night Live skit where Eddie Murphy went undercover as a white man to discover what whiteness is really like. He receives a free newspaper, gets cash from a bank without any credit and, once the city bus is free of minorities, the whites have a party. Instead of whiteness being the default or normative position from which every other ethnicity is otherness, Murphy's blackness is the norm and whiteness is seen as excess.
A less ironic and more recent example of what Dyer's getting at is the colorizing of Marvel's superheroes: Nick Fury is black in the films and Ultimate line; the Ultimate version of Peter Parker was killed off and replaced by a half black, half latino kid named Miles Morales; Kingpin was played by a black man in the Daredevil film; and more controversial among the Aryan supremacists was the decision to make the Norse god Heimdall black in the Thor film. The difference here between whiteness and otherness is that Peter Parker isn't first marked as white, second as Spider-Man, but Miles Morales is foremost a mixed ethnicity and secondly a superpowered human. If he were to live with his aunt at a near poverty level, that would be part of his ethnic narrative, whereas it's not really a part of Peter's being white. For Peter, those are qualities which merely help the audience sympathize with his struggle as an individual (they aren't anything but dramatic attributes within a particular narrative). The white narrative, through its dominance, seen as normative, is hidden, only revealed by contrast with what falls outside, or underneath.

|This company has recently been acquired or received a credible acquisition offer.
Clear Channel Communications Inc. (NYSE: CCU) is a diversified media company with two primary business segments: radio broadcasting and outdoor advertising. Clear Channel is the largest radio broadcasting company in the United States, with 17% of the US radio market and over 1,100 AM and FM radio stations. It also owns a 90% share in the world's largest outdoor advertising division, with over 900,000 billboards in more than 60 countries. In addition, Clear Channel owns or programs 51 television stations and owns a media representation firm. Clear Channel has a market capitalization of $17.2 billion.
After having ramped up its radio business in the mid to late 1990s as new radio station ownership rules permitted greater radio industry consolidation, the competitive landscape for the company's flagship radio business is now changing as Clear Channel faces greater competition from the growth of new media such as Internet radio, iPods, satellite radio, and mobile broadband services.
Clear Channel is currently negotiating a buyout deal with a private-equity group led by Thomas H. Lee Partners and Bain Capital that would take Clear Channel private. The deal has had many stages, and ultimately, shareholders approved a buyout price of $39.20 per share. The FCC approved the deal in 2008. On March 25, 2008, speculation that the deal was falling apart due to financing caused the stock to sell off strongly. On March 26, 2008, Bain capital Partners and Thoms H. Lee Partners announced that they were filing suit against several investment banks to force them to honer and finance the deal. Clear Channel has joined in that litigation.
Founded in 1972 as the San Antonio Broadcasting Corporation, Clear Channel began as a Texas radio station operator. The company went public in 1984 and began expanding outside of San Antonio in 1986. With a relaxation of radio ownership rules in 1992, by 1995 Clear Channel owned 43 radio stations. After the Telecommunications Act of 1996 deregulated media ownership, Clear Channel quickly bought up more radio stations and over 70 other media companies, resulting in the greatly expanded present size of its operations.
Clear Channels most important business segments are its radio broadcasting and outdoor advertising divisions, with radio representing 50% of operating revenues in 2007 and outdoor advertising representing 47%. Television stations and a media representation firm make up the remainder of Clear Channel's revenues. The great majority of Clear Channel's revenues come from the sale of advertisements on its various media.
Clear Channel was formerly a promoter and producer of domestic and international events including music concerts, theatrical shows, museum exhibitions, and specialized sporting events. Until recently, this business segment constituted about one third of revenues. However, Clear Channel completed the IPO of its live entertainment and sports representation division on November 11, 2005 and spun off the division on December 21, 2005. The former segment is now publicly traded as Live Nation (LYV).
Clear Channel's radio division generates revenues from the sale of local and national advertising spots. Advertising rates differ from station to station and depend on the station's reach among different target audiences, the number of stations and other advertising media competing in the market, and the relative demand for radio programming in the area. The company also owns equity in various international radio broadcasting companies.
While the radio industry has consolidated since the early 1990s thanks to a relaxing of ownership restrictions by the Federal Communications, the current rules still impose limits on local radio station ownership, and the top 10 players account for only 45% of the $20 billion radio industry. Clear Channel is the largest radio player in the US, with over 700 domestic radio stations. In 2006 Clear Channel announced its intention to sell 448 non-core radio stations. As of February 2008 217 of these non-core stations had been sold.
The domestic terrestrial radio industry has experienced audience declines for the past sixteen years. According to industry sources, 17.5% of people age 12 and up tuned in to the radio during a given 15 minute period in 1990, compared to 14.2% in 2005. Radio has had worse luck with some listening audiences than with others. Since 1999, "at work" and "at home" listening have fallen among 25-54 year-olds by 17% and 14% , respectively, while "in car" listening has fallen by only 3%. The falling audience levels are a result of the growing satellite and Internet radio industries which are stealing market share from terrestrial radio.
Clear Channel has attempted to increase its audience size through its new "Less is More" strategy of reducing the number and duration of its commercials. The company's radio revenues were $3.44 Billion in 2007, less than a 1% increase from 2006.
In April 2007 Clear Channel signed a deal allowing Google to sell some of the airtime on 675 of Clear Channel's stations to advertisers in Google's network.
Clear Channel owns a 90% interest in one of the world's largest outdoor companies, with nearly 200,000 domestic display faces and over 717,000 international display faces. It earns revenues from the sale of advertisements placed on billboards, street furniture displays, and transit displays.
Unlike the domestic radio industry, the domestic outdoor advertising industry is highly consolidated, with top three players Clear Channel, Viacom, and Lamar Advertising controlling more than 65% of the US billboard market. In addition, regulations place limits on the number of billboards in the US, creating a limited supply. However, emerging new media create less of a perfect substitute for billboard advertising than for radio and so are less disruptive to outdoor advertising than to traditional terrestrial radio.
Clear Channel's Outdoor Advertising division is made up of an Americas division (representing North and South America, with the US representing more than 90% of revenues in this category in 2007) and an international division. In 2007 the Americas division generated 21% of total revenue while the international division was responsible for 26% of total revenue.
The outdoor business trades separately as Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings (CCO).
Clear Channel owns 51 television stations and Katz Media Group, a media representation firm that sells radio and television advertising time.
On November 16, 2006, Clear Channel announced plans to sell all of its television stations to Providence Equity Partners for $1.2 billion.
The radio industry as well as outdoor advertising industry compete with many forms of media for advertising dollars. Competing media include newspapers, direct mail, television, yellow pages, the Internet, wireless media alternatives, cellular phones and other forms of advertisement. In addition, radio and outdoor advertising also compete with each other.
Besides ad revenues themselves, Clear Channel's radio broadcasting division also competes for greater audiences, which are the source of the value of their ad spots. Competitors including other radio stations, Internet radio, satellite radio, digital media players like Apple's iPod, and mobile broadband services.
The top 10 players account for only 45% of the over $20 billion radio industry.

Streaming radio stations on the Internet allow people to access the programming of terrestrial radio stations. Internet radio has presented an opportunity for traditional radio stations to reach a wider audience and cut costs, and expansion into Internet radio has generated much of traditional radio's recent growth.
At the same time, it has also given rise to the competition of independent Internet-only stations like Pandora. In fall 2006, 12% of radio stations reported broadcasting 100 percent of their programming over the internet. The audience for nontraditional Internet-only radio stations has grown from 1% of those twelve and over in 2004 to 2.5% in 2006. In comparison, listening to AM/FM radio stations online accounted for 0.5% of total radio listening in fall 2006.
The nascent US satellite radio industry commands 3.4% of the radio market. The industry is currently divided up between two firms, XM and Sirius, with 9.0 and 8.3 million customers, respectively.
For a monthly fee, the satellite radio companies allow people at home or in the car to choose between dozens of channels of commercial-free music, news, and sports programming content beamed by commercial satellites. Because of the great geographical area that the satellite radio covers (versus a relatively short distance for terrestrial radio), the same programming is available across the US.
Due to their fixed cost structures and negative operating profits, on February 19, 2007 the two companies announced a merger in order to cut costs and allow for greater programming diversity. The deal is currently pending FCC and US Department of Justice approval.
Clear Channel is heavily involved in Ibiquity's HD Radio. Ibiquity has proposed a rule to the Federal Communications Commission regarding the merger of Sirius and XM that would have HD Radio capabilities built into all satellite radio receivers. Should this happen, it would make HD Radio more available to consumers, which would give entities such as Clear Channel a wider audience for their digital radio offerings.
On March 24, 2008 the U.S. Department of Justice issued approval for the merger between Sirius Satellite Radio and XM Satellite Radio. The merger now needs approval by the Federal Communications Commission.
With over 100 million iPods sold since their 2001 release, the continuing growth of portable digital music is a threat to traditional radio. Additionally, Apple has been partinering with major auto manufacturers to produce cars with iPod-compatible audio systems since 2005. These digital devices allow the iPod to compete directly with "in car" radio listening. A threat to both terrestrial and satellite radios, digital players like the iPod boast full portability, comparable hardware installation costs, and no subscription fees.
Mobile broadband services provide broadband internet access over wide areas and are capable of delivering service to cars at speeds of up to 75 miles per hour. The ability to access the Internet in the car will allow people to search for information and listen to Internet radio in the car, providing a perfect substitute for terrestrial radio.
Mobile wireless broadband services were launched in Korea in June 2006 using a technology called WiBro. In the US, Sprint Nextel has announced plans to launch a wireless broadband service in 2008.
In addition, Ford has now made available in car computers available which can connect to the Internet through regular cellular networks.
Clear Channel's ability to earn advertising dollars is influenced by many factors. Key business drivers are regulations, broadband internet access, economic conditions, key employee movements, radio station ratings, and political spending.
With the radio industry extensively regulated, decisions by Congress, the courts, or government agencies frequently affect Clear Channel's operations.
Radio broadcasting is regulated by the Federal Communications Commission under the Communications Act of 1934. The FCC has the power to levy fines, regulate station content, choose whether to renew operating licenses, issue new licenses, and limit radio station ownership. Broadcasting businesses depend on the renewal of eight-year broadcasting licenses issued by the FCC, while their market reach is limited by ownership rules.
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 overhauled US telecommunications laws, changing both the process for the renewal of broadcast station licenses and relaxing national broadcast ownership rules. National radio ownership limits were eliminated, while local radio ownership restrictions were eased. The easing of radio broadcasting ownership restrictions led to industry consolidation and a tremendous growth spurt for Clear Channel. Clear Channel has reached the maximum station ownership threshhold in all of the markets in which it is present. Any tightening of limits may force Clear Channel to divest stations, while an easing of regulations could allow Clear Channel to consolidate its market share.
The regulation of the outdoor advertising industry may limit the size, placement, taxation, and content of ads. For instance, US and EU regulations forbid outdoor advertising for tobacco products, once a significant source of revenues.
With campaign spending representing a significant source of radio revenues, campaign finance laws also impact business.
The Internet provides competition to radio companies both as an alternative source of news and entertainment programming and as a source of streaming radio services accessible at home or in the office.
Growth in Internet radio listening has until now been closely correlated with growth in broadband Internet access. With only 22% penetration in 2003, broadband still has much room for growth. This, in turn, may mean greater competition provided by streaming radio in the future.
Clear Channel's main source of revenue, advertising, is sensitive to the health of the economy. During economic downturns, radio is one of the first media to get cut from advertising budgets.
The ability of Clear Channel's radio division to generate revenues depends on its ability to draw an audience and garner strong ratings. The higher the ratings, the higher the more valuable advertising time becomes. Ratings, in turn, depend on the performance of certain key employees such as on-air personalities and program hosts of syndicated radio programs with a loyal fan base. Many have long-term agreements, while many are at-will employees. In addition, the popularity of these figures is subject to changing public tastes.
Spending on political campaigns is a cyclical but significant source of radio industry revenues. Industrywide political ad revenues reached over $280 million in 2006, a figure that represents only 8% of the total $3 billion in political advertising dollars spent in that year. The timing of political cycles, campaign finance laws, levels of political fundraising, and the ability of radio companies to compete with other advertising media in targeting desirable demographics all have a direct effect on radio revenues.

Merck & Co.'s (NYSE:MRK) fourth-quarter profit dropped 7%, as results continued to be weighed down by last year's loss of patent protection for asthma treatment Singulair.
Continue Reading Below
Profit for the quarter was $1.40 billion, or 46 cents a share, down from $1.51 billion and 49 cents a share a year earlier. Excluding items such as acquisition and restructuring costs, per-share earnings were down to 83 cents from 97 cents. Fourth-quarter sales fell 4.5% to $11.74 billion.
Merck's animal-health segment, which makes products for pets and farm animals, saw its sales edge up 3% to $898 million. Consumer-care sales jumped 9% to $395 million.
The drug maker did beat Wall Street estimates for the quarter and full-year 2012. Analysts projected Merck to post adjusted earnings of 81 cents a share on revenue of $11.49 billion.
Sales continue to suffer from the August 2012 loss of patent protection for Singulair, a big seller. Generic drugs then hit the market, taking sales away from Merck's branded drug.
Merck also announced it is delaying plans until 2014 to seek regulatory approval for an experimental osteoporosis treatment. Five products are slated for regulatory review in 2013, the company said.
"We remain committed to investing for future growth and innovation to deliver value over the long term," Kenneth C. Frazier, Merck's chief executive, said in a statement. "Merck is rapidly advancing many compounds that are potentially first-in-class or best-in-class. Additionally, we will continue to pursue external opportunities that have the potential to deliver value to the company and its shareholders."
For 2013, Merck is anticipating per-share earnings of $2.03 to $2.26, and adjusted per-share earnings of $3.60 to $3.70. Revenue is expected to drop 1% to 2% from the $47.27 billion posted in 2012.
Shares of Merck were down $1.26, or 2.91%, to $43.25 a share in pre-market trading Friday.

Hey all,
I recently attended a computer technology seminar at my high school and was excited to learn about all the opportunities that were there for computer security specialists. It seems that there has been a huge need for these type of individuals ever since 9-11 took place. Excpecially within the government, as well a big coorporations, I guess I am so excited because I thought of the field as one where I was very highly competative and only a select few were chosen for certain spots. Kinda like trying to be a professional athlete, is what I used to think... next to impossible, but it's cool now cause I see that there are lots of differnet oppertunities in the field. Thought I'd share this link if any of you were still interested...
Also, I e-mailed Ed Skoudis, author of Counter Hack, and he told me basically the same thing as the article.
I just found this exciting and I hope some of you who were clueless like me find this to be too.
Now off to get a tux for the prom lol... then study for the SAT's, ACT's, ELA's, Regents, and Local Exams...

Series business
Hanagan 14s prepare for Babe Ruth World SeriesBy JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
August 15. 2013 10:17PM
Mickey Hanagan has been a Babe Ruth coach for 49 seasons and will be making his 11th World Series appearance beginning Saturday when his all-star team opens play in the 14-year-old tournament in Moses Lake, Wash.
It doesn't matter if it's regular season, district, state, regional or World Series competition, Hanagan has always maintained there's only one way to achieve success on the playing field.
"You've got to make the simple plays," he said. "The goal is to get 21 outs in a seven-inning game. From a good pitcher, you're going to get anywhere between eight and 10 strikeouts. The other 11 or 13 balls hit will be handled by the defense. If you make the routine simple plays, you're golden. I've been saying it for years."
What Hanagan has said this summer and, for the first time since 1976 when the 13-15-year-old Manchester Tom Woodlock All-Stars won the World Series in Pueblo, Colo., is a team that has grasped his message.
"After our first practice together, I knew right then this team was going to go far into tournament play," said Hanagan. "This is the first team I've coached since 1976 where I can say we have the right balance with pitching, defense and offense. Everything just clicks."
The Hanagan All-Stars begin their four-game pool play Saturday at 8 p.m. (Eastern time) against Southeast Region champion Longwood, Fla. On Sunday at 5 p.m., Manchester will face Westchester, Calif., the Pacific Southwest champion.
After a day off Monday, the Hanagans resume play Tuesday against North Washington champ Puget Sound, Wash., at 8 p.m. The final pool play game is slated for Wednesday at 2 p.m. against Pacific Northwest champion Tualatin Hills, Ore.
If Manchester finishes pool play either first, second or third in its five-team division, it will qualify for the single-elimination phase of the World Series next Thursday which continues into Friday with the semifinal round. The championship game is slated for 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 24.
"We're in a tough division with some teams like Florida and California who play year round," said Hanagan. "But we've been playing well and the way I feel, there's not a team that we can't beat."
The Hanagans are 11-0 this summer, having won their last four games in the New England Regionals in Westfield, Mass., by one run.
"I really liked the way we battled and fought in the regionals," said Hanagan. "Actually in the state and regional tournaments, I felt we were getting stronger and playing with confidence after each game. Our first goal in the World Series is to earn a berth into the single elimination round. If we do that, we'll be in good shape to make a strong run at the title."
The pitching staff is strong behind righthanders Pat Swanson, Matt Reynolds, Drew Merrick, Garret Olivar and Nick Salcito. Hanagan also has a pair of lefties, Jake Carrier and Ryan Wickey, at his disposal.
Swanson and Reynolds each had a pair of complete-game wins in the regionals. "The pitching and defense has been working hand in hand," said Hanagan. "We're not walking many batters and our defense has not made many errors."
Infielders Reynolds and Wickey at first base, Olivar at second; John Robinson at short and either Salcito, Swanson or Joe Davis at third base have been making the plays.
Hanagan praised the outfield manned by Joey Silva, Jason Derome, Kyle Jutras, Merrick, Carrier and Nick Sullivan.
"It's starts with Silva, who can track anything hit out to him and beyond," said Hanagan. "Robinson, Salcito and Olivar have great range in the heart of the infield. And you can't forget about (catcher) Nate Hall, who blocks the balls and plate well and has a strong arm." Jake Poitras is another key player coming off the bench to back up Hall and to pinch-hit.
The assistant coaches are Nick Cenatiempo Sr. and Peter Bissonette.
"If everyone plays to their potential like I know they can, we've got a good shot of winning the World Series," said Hanagan.

Economics of funding a eye trauma center: Mechanisms of public financing
Suche in Medline nach
|18. Juni 2008
Objective: To assist ophthalmologists and administrators in developing a funding mechanism for treating ocular trauma patients.
Design/Methods: Description of funding methods for operating an Eye Trauma Center
Results: Significant financial resources are required in order to operate an Eye Trauma Center able to provide 24/7 coverage, the ability to diagnose and treat the full spectrum of ocular and orbital injuries, access to appropriate consultants, and maintain a trauma registry. Additional required institutional resources include facility, staff, and a quality assurance mechanism. Legislative initiatives, our institution's approach to this challenge will be presented in detail. This approach in some form may become a useful model for other institutions.
Conclusions: Sub-specialty Trauma Centers, such as a Level I Eye Trauma Center can be organized, however, the potential financial burden on the institution can be significant. Thus, mechanisms must be developed to defray the cost for providing this service.

College Hockey: UNH wants back inBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
October 10. 2012 11:47PM
2012-13 UNH hockey2011-12 record: 15-19-3 overall (11-14-2, Hockey East)
Coach: Dick Umile 23rd year (499-264-87)
Returning lettermen: 20
Key players: Casey DeSmith, So., G; Nick Sorkin, Jr., F; Kevin Goumas, Jr., F; Trevor van Riemsdyk, So., D; Connor Hardowa, Sr. D; Grayson Downing, Fr., F; Greg Burke, Sr., F; Justin Agosta Jr. D; Brett Kostolansky, Sr., D; Dalton Speelman, Jr., F.
From NH: DeSmith (Rochester); Burke (Lee); Ryan Randall, So., D. (Durham).
*Note: Dartmouth, the state's other Division I program, begins play with an exhibition game next Saturday, Oct. 20, against McGill at Thompson Arena in Hanover.
DURHAM -- The 2012-13 mission for the University of New Hampshire men's hockey team is quite straight forward and simple.
'We're committed to not ending up back in that same place,' said Greg Burke, a senior forward and assistant captain from Lee.
That same place was on the outside looking in last March when the NCAA tournament began.
For the first time in a decade, the Wildcats missed the national playoffs.
'It was weird not being in the tournament,' Burke said. 'It was upsetting ... The goal for our team is to come out right off the bat and show everyone - whether it be the league or the fans or the entire country - the type of hockey team we want to be and that we're going to be for the entire season, and not have to dig ourselves out of a hole.'
Last season started poorly for the Wildcats - they were shut out 5-0 at Boston University and 4-0 at Northeastern in their first two games, and were 0-4-1 in their first five - and was rough and streaky through New Year's.
Things settled down from there, in part because freshman Casey DeSmith of Rochester took over the starting goaltender job, and UNH played its best hockey at the end of the season.
The Wildcats went 9-8-1 after New Year's, with six of the losses in overtime and two others by a goal.
UNH finished 15-19-3 overall and 11-14-2 in Hockey East. For the first time since 1995-96 and only the second time ever under coach Dick Umile, the Wildcats were under .500 for a season.
They didn't like it.
'We don't find that acceptable,' said senior forward John Henrion. 'And we don't want people to think we're going to accept losing. That's just more motivation for us.'
Now it's a matter of doing something about it.
'Everyone that's back is very, very hungry,' said senior defenseman and assistant captain Brett Kostolansky. 'We definitely don't want to go through what we went through last year. It was frustrating and draining.'
The last time the Wildcats missed the NCAA tournament, they rebounded quite nicely the next season.
UNH came up short of the national playoffs in the 2000-01 season but came back the next year to not only qualify for the national tournament but advance to the Frozen Four. That season started the string of 10 straight NCAA appearances that ended last March.
The Wildcats look to start another such streak and be playing in the NCAA Northeast Regional when it returns to Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester next March.
'That's extra incentive; we want to be there,' said Burke.
'This team knows what we're capable of,' said Umile, whose next win will make him the sixth active Division I coach with 500 victories. 'We've got a lot of guys returning from last year's team. We don't want to be close and losing games. We want to start winning games again.'
The Wildcats hope to build off a strong last month that included a final weekend when they beat Boston University in double overtime in the first game of the Hockey East quarterfinals, lost to the Terriers 4-2 and then fell 5-4 in another two-overtime game.
'They were terrific at the end, and we had everything we could do to get by them,' said BU coach Jack Parker at Hockey East's Media Day. 'We're not the same team they played in the playoffs, and they're almost the same team.'
Parker said he picked UNH second behind Boston College in the preseason coaches' poll. UNH was the consensus fourth pick, behind UMass-Lowell and BU.
'I think their early problems were in goal, and they weren't quite as competitive as they should be because of that,' Parker said. 'Once they shored that up, the rest of the guys pulled up their bootstraps and they went real hard at the end of the year'
DeSmith, who had a 2.33 goals-against average and .926 save percentage, is back, joined by Jeff Wyer, a junior who likely would have been given the first shot at the job last year but had his season ended early by a knee injury.
Umile expects the defense, young last year, to play better from the start of the season, led by senior captain Connor Hardowa and Kostolansky.Trevor van Riemsdyk, a sophomore defenseman, scored two goals in a 5-2 exhibition win over St. Francis Xavier on Saturday.
Goal-scoring was inconsistent last year, too, and the Wildcats scored less than three goals a game - they were at 2.92 - for the first time in more than a decade.
Umile hopes Henrion, who had five goals last year, and Burke, who had six, can break out with big senior seasons. He's penciled in a possible top line of sophomore Grayson Downing centering for juniors Nick Sorkin and Dalton Speelman, and expects major contributions from players such as junior Kevin Goumas and senior Austin Block.
Everyone, Burke said, is ready to go. 'A lot of guys, I think, are feeling they have something to prove,' he said.
They get their first chance this weekend with season-opening games against St. Cloud State at the Whittemore Center on Friday night at 7:30 and Saturday night at 7.

Jennifer Hudson is introducing the world to her new born son. Jennifer gave birth to her first child, David – named after her fiancé, David Otunga (Punk from I Love New York 2) – on Aug. 10.
"I love being nurturing and caring because I love to see other people happy," says the American Idol alum. "Who better to devote my time to than my own child?"
Below are excerpts from her interview with PEOPLE –
How hard was it keeping your pregnancy under wraps?
"David and I were the only people who knew for a long time. I would forget I was pregnant, it was so easy. I didn't have any morning sickness, no cravings either. I just thought, 'Oh, well, we'll wait until it'll tell on itself.' I didn't show until I was seven months so that made it easy right there."
Has his personality emerged yet?
"He has a lot of personality, like David. He's always been a good sleeper. His favorite time to smile now is diaper changes. Or when he spits up on you – he just cracks up like he thinks it's the funniest thing. And his bottle is his pacifier. With a pacifier, it's like he knows, 'Ain't nothing come out of here. No, I don't want that. Where's the real deal?' His best friend is that bottle; that's all he wants."

Rodgers draws line under Suarez affair
Brendan Rodgers said Liverpool's resounding 6-0 win at Newcastle was the perfect way to end a week that was dominated by the ten-match ban meted out to striker Luis Suarez.
The Uruguayan was sitting out his first game after biting Branislav Ivanovic, but his presence was not missed as Liverpool racked up a heavy win thanks to two goals from Daniel Sturridge, two from Jordan Henderson and further strikes from Daniel Agger and Fabio Borini.
After a win that set Liverpool up in perfect fashion for next week's Merseyside derby, Rodgers said he hoped the club could now move on from the furore of the past seven days.
"Of course last week was difficult,'' Rodgers told ESPN. "I spent a lot of time talking to Luis. We move on from that, we don't want to keep bringing it up. He is suspended for 10 games. My plan is to keep him fit and working and there is a plan. It was a real test for us today.
"We do it (move forward) collectively. Luis has been brilliant, we can only move forward with the players we have. As you have seen today our focus and job at hand was fantastic.''
Liverpool dominated from start to finish and Agger's third-minute header set the tone for the rest of the game. "It was a terrific start, we were very aggressive, the pressing was very good,'' he said.
"Daniel Sturridge can prove to be one of the top strikers in Europe in the next three years, he needs an opportunity. You can see his strength, his speed, his power and his finishing as well.''
Newcastle's relegation worries deepened as they were subjected to their heaviest home defeat since 1925. They have now conceded 66 goals this season, more than anyone else, and sank to the same goal difference as Wigan.
It marked the second successive home defeat after Sunderland won 3-0 at St James' Park in the Tyne Wear derby.
"It was an awful performance by us,'' Pardew said. "We have to do something about that for next week. We have to stick together now we have to get ourselves disciplined we got run ragged today.
"I thought that (lack of experience) was evident today. Luckily we have three games to go to put it right. We need four points to make sure we are safe. They were very good today.
"They had a great energy, but there is no excuse for our performance. Defensively we were very, very poor - we will have to make a couple of changes there. The only message is we will come out fighting.
"We have had two tough games at home we have got work to do, fortunately our skipper is available, we need to show that Monday morning when we show up.''

PLUM ISLAND, N.Y. - CLUTCHING beach towels and pushing strollers, the people boarding the ferry at Orient Point on the morning of Saturday, July 29, might have been headed to any public beach.
Only the sight of a man wearing a baseball cap emblazoned with the word "Security," who was carefully checking everyone's identification, suggested that it was not an ordinary trip. That and the fact the passengers were not boarding the adjacent Cross Sound Ferry to Connecticut, but a private one to Plum Island, a mile and a half off the eastern tip of the North Fork. The island is home to the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, a federal research complex containing a biohazard laboratory capable of handling anthrax.
The day-trippers were workers on the island, where the center employs about 200 people, and their relatives, going to the annual Plum Island Employee Association Family Day. They got to picnic, swim and even take a guided tour of what is normally a highly restricted place, administered by the Department of Homeland Security.
A ferry also arrived from Old Saybrook, Conn. Altogether, about 250 people attended, said Kristine Garland, the center's public affairs specialist. Nobody seemed unduly worried by their destination.
Peggy Cassidy, whose husband, John, has worked with the island's emergency medical technician unit for four years, summed up the general feeling.Continue reading the main story
"People want to know if you've ever seen two-headed cows, that sort of thing," she said, and laughed. "It doesn't really bother us."
On the island, a series of old school buses whisked passengers down a tree-lined driveway to a vast lawn on the water's edge, the former parade grounds of Fort Terry, a decommissioned military site.
There, Patrick Moylan, the president of the employee association, was setting up barbecue grills, a stack of hot dogs and hamburgers beside him. The employees had paid for the food and drink, he said.
Nearby was an Easy Dunker game, which tipped a victim into a tub of water when a ball hit a target. It soon attracted a line of eager children, including Dagan Resling, 5, son of a Plum Island ferry captain, Jeff Resling, who gleefully dunked Molly McGuigan, 6, the daughter of Mr. Resling's deckhand, Cliff McGuigan, several times.
On the pristine beach, used just once a year, for Family Day, couples frolicked in the water or lay beneath umbrellas, watched by Tim McElroy and Kathy MacDonald, lifeguards from Southold who sat beneath a wooden stand.
Mary Winchurch, a 20-year-old engineering intern at Plum Island, was with her parents, Walter and Nora, and younger sisters, Kelsey and Emily, from Garden City, enjoying their first Family Day.
"It all seems perfectly safe to me," she said. Her parents concurred.
In the shade of one of the tents on the grass, Marla Koster, a microbiologist from Cutchogue who has worked at Plum Island for 27 years, reminisced. She had found photographs from the 60's, she said, showing employees performing a variety show on Family Day. Other photos from the same era, when some workers' families lived on the island, show children waiting to take the ferry to school on the East End.
A reminder that this was not a small-town fair came during the guided tour, when an abandoned laboratory where foot-and-mouth disease research had been done appeared, half clad in vegetation. The crowd, on a bus, shivered, and even the guide, Jan Hanover, an Agricultural Research Service management analyst, paused.
"It does look like a mausoleum," she said.Continue reading the main story

The Jamestown School Committee last week heard several reasons for continuing to send island students to North Kingstown High School. School officials scheduled the Nov. 12 meeting so residents could voice their opinions about what they wanted in a high school, and what criteria should be used to evaluate potential schools.
10 years ago From the Jamestown Press, November 20, 1997
While most private wells on the island's north end have good water quality, a written report presented to the Town Council indicates a potential for contamination does exist in wells in Jamestown Shores. The Shores is outside the municipal water and sewer district, and residents depend on private wells for household water and septic tanks for wastewater disposal.

Even when he wasn't hitting his shots, Carmelo Anthony delivered a shot.
Tired of losing and determined to stop it, the New York Knicks toughened up and fought their way out of their worst slump of the season.
Anthony scored 29 points, Amare Stoudemire had a season-high 22, and the Knicks snapped their four-game losing streak by beating the Philadelphia 76ers 99-93 on Sunday night.
"Losing games, games we think we're supposed to win, you come into a game like this, we want to win," Anthony said. "Definitely want to be a very high-intensity game, a very high-energetic game back here on our home court and we didn't want to lose this game."
Anthony was only 6 of 18 from the field, but made 16 of 18 free throws and also was called for a flagrant foul for the fired-up Knicks, who have fallen behind Indiana into third place in the Eastern Conference and whose Atlantic Division lead over the Brooklyn Nets is down to two games.
They were sharp enough to build a couple of big leads and turn away the runs Philadelphia made, handing the 76ers their eighth straight road loss.
"After losing four straight, it's never a good feeling losing games, so tonight we came out with the intensity from the start that we needed," said Stoudemire, who was 9 of 10 from the field.
All-Star Jrue Holiday had 30 points, five rebounds and five assists for the 76ers, who have lost five straight overall. Evan Turner had 21 points and Thaddeus Young added 11 points and 10 rebounds after missing six games with a strained left hamstring.
Knicks coach Mike Woodson declined to make a lineup change, and it was Stoudemire and the reserves who helped New York take control early in the second quarter, and the starters who reopened a big lead to begin the third.
Philadelphia coach Doug Collins said the difference was the Knicks' fast starts to start the second and third quarters.
"Their bench came in and I told our guys it really hurt us. They went up 13-0, had a 13-0 run with Carmelo on the bench," Collins said. "Can't let that happen."
Raymond Felton finished with 14 points despite bruising his right heel and J.R. Smith also had 14 for the Knicks.
"This was a must-win because we felt things have just not been going our way for whatever reason," Knicks center Tyson Chandler said. "We had to get out of this slump."
Collins said he expected the Knicks to be "testy" and "edgy" and that was the case with about 7½ minutes left in the third quarter and the Knicks leading by 14. Anthony appeared to hit Spencer Hawes behind the head going for a rebound, and when they began to exchange words, Chandler rushed in and shoved Hawes back. Anthony ended up being assessed a flagrant foul, and Chandler and Hawes were whistled for technicals.
Anthony said he wasn't angry and didn't mean to hit Hawes in the head, and was simply reacting after he took an elbow.
"It's part of basketball, part of the game. It gets like that sometimes," Hawes said. "I think it was a physical game. I think they were letting some stuff go early, it usually precludes incidents like that."
The 76ers rallied a bit afterward, getting within 76-67 at the end of three, but then Stoudemire scored the first four of the final quarter and Philadelphia didn't really get close again until the final minutes.
The 76ers have lost 17 of their last 20 road games and haven't won away from home since beating the Lakers on New Year's Day. The eight-game skid is their longest since also dropping eight in a row from Nov. 10 to Dec. 3, 2010.
The Knicks led 24-22 after one, then opened the second with a 17-2 run to build a 41-24 lead on Pablo Prigioni's free throws with 7:15 remaining in the quarter. New York was ahead 52-40 at halftime behind 18 points from Anthony and 11 more from Stoudemire on 5-of-6 shooting.
NOTES: Kenyon Martin didn't play in his first game since signing a 10-day contract Saturday. Though he hasn't played since finishing last season with the Los Angeles Clippers, Martin said he has kept himself in good shape and would find ways to produce until he got back into good basketball condition. "Sometimes it's mind over matter, will over situation," he said. Martin has played with a number of Knicks on other teams and his locker is next to Jason Kidd, his teammate on two NBA Finals teams in New Jersey in 2002-03. A former No. 1 pick in the draft, Martin said it was "humbling" to now be on a 10-day contract, adding he was "mad, sad, upset, confused," when he couldn't get a job after last season. But he downplayed his age on the oldest team in NBA history, saying "35, I'm young around here." The Knicks have five older players. ... The Sixers, who lost to Miami on Saturday, fell to 2-11 on the second night of back-to-back games.

Rumors of new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 colors are nothing new, and nothing particularly surprising, given the diverse palette of Galaxy S3 colors now available. Since the phone's launch, though, many have to been hankering for a Galaxy Note 2 in classic black. If the latest rumors are to be believed, that's exactly what'll be coming in early 2013.
Swiss blog AndroidSlash has today come across a high-res press render of a Note 2 in black. And, well, it's a Galaxy Note 2. In black. Interesting to note is that the black Note 2 seems to retain its faux-metal texture, whereas the black Galaxy S3 lost this effect in favor of glossy plastic finish.
There's speculation that this, and other Note 2 color variants, will be shown at Mobile World Congress in February. But remember Samsung's also going to be at CES in just over a week, so there's a chance we might see the Note 2's new coat of paint sooner than expected. Lucky for you we'll be reporting live from both shows in the new year.
Anyone want to place bets on when the inevitable berry pink version will appear?

Richard Sherman burnt bridges all over the nation's capital following the Seattle Seahawks' 24-14 wild-card win over the Washington Redskins.
Not long after the Seahawks cornerback scuffled with Redskins offensive tackle Trent Williams, Sherman took a swing at Washington's fan base.
"Nowhere near as loud as our home," Sherman told Comcast SportsNet Washington's Ben Standig. "They have more (capacity than Seattle), but they don't make enough noise."
Sherman plays for a Seahawks team that enjoys one of the NFL's fiercest home-field advantages, the motley "12th Man" contingent that makes Seattle's CenturyLink Field a mega-headache for opposing quarterbacks.
Jabbing at Washington's FedEx crowd is a little tedious -- the Redskins always have rolled with a loyal, involved fan base -- but that's Sherman for you. He's been at it all season, making waves for his postgame encounter with Tom Brady in Week 6 and using Sunday's playoff win as a chance to mouth off to the losing team.
Sherman is one of the game's top cover corners, and nobody can take that away from him. How you feel about the rest of his act depends on your point of view.

The Boy Scouts is a rite of passage for any young boy, teaching survival, community values, and creativity--but apparently not acceptance. Jennifer Tyrrell, a Bridgeport, OH, mother to 7-year-old Cruz and Den Mother of their local Tiger Scout pack, recently received a phone call from the regional Boy Scout authorities informing her that she was out of the organization because she was gay, reports The New York Times.
"Scouting, and the majority of parents it serves," said officials from the Boy Scouts national office, "does not believe it is the right forum for children to become aware of the issue of sexual orientation, or engage in discussions about being gay."
Plus: 8-year-old Defends Gay Mom to Michelle Bachmann
Tyrrell was fully aware of the organization's long-standing policy against gay parents and scouts, and was reluctant to allow Cruz to join. However, his outspoken dreams of camping and woodworking changed her mind, and she soon accepted the position of Den Mother when other parents refused to take the lead. Once she was accepted, she had a discussion with local leaders about the arrangement, and they pledged to stand behind her (and they have), flat-out ignoring policy.
Despite the trips over the past year to the local soup kitchen to feed the homeless, treks into the woods to camp, and outings to ring the Salvation Army bell, Tyrrell's work has been shadowed by her sexual orientation as a gay mom. She has started a petition at Change.org hoping to change the Boy Scouts policy, which has since been signed by over 165,000 people.
Do you think gay and lesbian parents should be allowed to take active part in the Boy Scouts?
