BRIEF-HNA Group reports 25 pct stake in Park Hotels & Resorts
* HNA Group Co Ltd reports 25 percent stake in Park Hotels & Resorts Inc as of March 15, 2017 - SEC filing Source: (http://bit.ly/2oevTFJ) Further company coverage:
* JP Morgan, Wells Fargo post earnings
* Washington political talks continue to end crisis

By Chuck Mikolajczak
NEW YORK, Oct 11 U.S. stocks edged higher on Friday, following the biggest rally since the first trading day of the year, as talks continued in Washington to end a fiscal stalemate that has shut down the government for days.
President Barack Obama will press his case for a quick reopening of the entire federal government, coupled with an emergency increase of U.S. borrowing authority, when he meets with Senate Republicans on Friday.
The partial government shutdown is now in its eleventh day and less than a week remains before an Oct. 17 deadline to extend the government's borrowing authority and avoid a debt default.
The crisis in Washington threatens to damage the fiscal standing of the United States and to derail its fragile economic recovery.
"There seems to be some flexibility now, at least the talks are progressing," said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment officer of Solaris Group in Bedford Hills, New York
"Once sanity returns, at least temporarily, to Washington the market really should move higher."
Major U.S. stock indexes staged their strongest rally in more than nine months on Thursday, leaving the S&P 500 less than 2 percent away from its record closing high set three weeks ago.
The S&P financial index slipped 0.1 percent after earnings reports from JP Morgan Chase & Co, which was up 0.6 percent at $52.84, and Wells Fargo & Co, which fell 1.6 percent to $40.76.
JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank by assets reported a rare quarterly loss after incurring $9.2 billion in legal expenses. Excluding litigation expense and reserve release, it earned a profit of $5.82 billion, or $1.42 a share.
Wells Fargo & Co, the biggest U.S. mortgage lender reported a 13 percent rise in third-quarter profit, but its mortgage banking income fell sharply as the refinancing boom began to fade.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 49.84 points, or 0.33 percent, to 15,175.91, the S&P 500 gained 2.84 points, or 0.17 percent, to 1,695.4 and the Nasdaq Composite added 6.728 points, or 0.18 percent, to 3,767.475.
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers' preliminary October consumer sentiment index fell to 75.2, its weakest level in nine months, from the final September figure of 77.5, and below expectations of a 76 reading.
Micron Technology Inc fell 3 percent to $17.88 after the chipmaker reported a smaller-than-expected fourth-quarter profit on Thursday. The PHLX semiconductor index lost 0.1 percent.

10/20/2008"By upgrading every system in your body to optimum health, you could actually eliminate our most feared diseases. Seems like a daunting task, doesn't it? But that's where Lessons from the Miracle Doctors really succeeds. It's one of the most straightforward, clear guides to health I've read in a long time.
After telling us why we need to take control over our health, Jon starts on the how.

The two were "being very rude for speaking in a language we don't understand", Linda Polk, co-owner of Allied, said. Ms Gonzales and Ms Hernandez said they spoke regularly to the agency's large Hispanic customer base in Spanish. They said they used the language to speak to each other about work and not for personal chats or secret talk about co-workers.
"Being able to speak Spanish is an advantage to us. We don't want our heritage taken away from us," Ms Gonzales said.
Pat Polk, another co-owner of Allied, issued a memo stating that the office was English-speaking "except when we have customers who can't speak our language ... If you can't live with the rules here - Draw your pay and make the rules at your next job." Three women in the office were handed the memo. One signed it, while Ms Hernandez and Ms Gonzales refused and were fired. "When we read it, we were very upset," Ms Gonzales said. "They never warned us."
Ms Polk said Ms Gonzales was hired last November and Ms Hernandez in March "to speak Spanish to non- American-speaking people" and not to each other.
The incident is the second big language-related conflict here in three years. In 1995, a judge ordered a woman to speak English as well as Spanish to her five-year-old daughter.
English-only rules may violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964 unless an employer can show they are necessary for conducting business, according to an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission handbook. A federal appeals court rejected the 1993 claim of workers who sued under circumstances similar to the Allied firings.
The Amarillo chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens said it would promote a boycott of Allied.

Back in August we reported of an egg recall due to an outbreak of Salmonella, so we were shocked of yet another case. The latest egg recall affects Cal-Maine Foods, Inc., who get their supply from an Ohio farm. Thankfully there have not been any reports of illness.
The FDA found salmonella during a routine inspection, and the worrying thing is, the farm has ties with the two men behind a previous egg recall. 24,000 eggs in all will be recalls, which were packaged from October 9 to October 12.
These eggs are shipped under different names these are as follows: Sun Valley, Sunny Meadow, James Farm labels and Springfield Grocer. The Julian dates for these are 282, 284 and 285. For more details visit the Iowa Independent.
Another scare like this will not give the consumer confidence in the food that they purchase. Recalls have been getting more often, which is certainly a worry, why has the rate of recalls increased over the past couple of years?

In our weekly feature your Interview, we give you, our readers, the chance to ask key figures across Sussex the questions you want answered. This week Brighton Kemptown MP SIMON KIRBY answers your questions.
Simon Catmur: What keeps you awake at night?
Simon Kirby (SK): It's a big responsibility representing nearly 90,000 people. Labour's excessive spending and borrowing means that we are paying £120 million every day just in interest on this debt. I worry that if we don't make the difficult decisions necessary now then we might end up like Greece.
Joseph Miller: Would you agree with me that the difficult decisions this Government are taking are the right ones for a sustainable Britain and that it would be wholly unfair to saddle the younger generation with even more debt for what would be artificial growth now?
(SK): The Government recognises what a special place Brighton and Hove is and is committed to the city. This is evident by the |recent announcement that Brighton and Hove |is to receive funding for superfast broadband.
I lobbied the Government relentlessly on this issue as I recognise it will be a huge help to the many digital and creative industries in the city which contribute so much to the local economy and provide many local jobs.
That is why the recent unemployment figures which show more and more people are finding work are so positive.
Mr Jarrs: Brighton and Hove City Council has lost tens of millions of pounds of Government funding in the last two years and face losing tens of millions more in the coming years. Considering that the people of Brighton and Hove are seeing their Government grants cut by a greater amount per person than neighbouring councils, what have you done, and what are you going to do to reduce these Government funding cuts?
(SK): Brighton and Hove, like authorities everywhere else in the country, and central Government itself, will have to become more efficient as there simply isn't the money that has been thrown around in the past.
I am a strong voice for Brighton in Parliament and always lobby ministers to ensure my constituents are not disproportionately affected.
Indeed in the last few years for example, the city has received from the Government over £6 million in council tax freeze funding; extra funding £3.9 million (double last year's allocation) for deprived school children through the pupil premium; almost £40 million to set up the new academy schools in Falmer and Portslade plus funding for two new Free Schools in the city; £750,000 extra social care funding; £4 million for the Lewes Road Transport proposals; £6.6 million of Local Transport Plan funding (a 96% increase on last year); £90k extra Disabled Facilities Grant funding, over £1 million now coming in from the New Homes Bonus and new start-up funding for the Troubled Families Initiative.
Alison Smith: As a disabled wheelchair user could you explain the Blue Badge reforms in your recent Private Members Bill?
(SK): One of my proudest moments since being elected has been the progress of my Bill. I have been blown away by the support it has received from disability charities and organisations, as well as the cross-party support it received in the Commons from all parties.
So much of Parliament on television is adversarial and I truly believe that Parliament is often at its best when there is cross-party consensus.
In a nutshell, my Bill aims to clamp down on abuse of Blue Badges by able-bodied people to ensure that the system works better for genuine badge holders who often tell me of their frustration at seeing disabled bays being used by people who are clearly not disabled. You can find more detailed information on my website www.simonkirby.org.
Kemptownboy (web): Labour Minister's parting shot: Dear Chief Secretary, I'm sorry to tell you there is no money... kind regards and good luck. How much better off is our country today?
(SK): This little note was incredibly revealing.
It shows the hypocrisy of Labour's opposition to the savings being suggested by the coalition Government. Their answer of more borrowing and more spending would be a disaster.
I believe our country is far better off.
In the last two years we have managed to cut the budget deficit by a quarter, over one million private sector jobs have been created and unemployment is falling and our borrowing costs have fallen.
We are also tackling the waste within central Government, indeed in the last year we have cut £5.5 billion in waste from Whitehall.
Steven: Do you still encounter opposition and ignorance on LGBT issues among your fellow Conservative MPs?
(SK): There are many differing views on LGBT issues on all sides of the House.
As someone who is proud to represent a constituency with a significant LGBT population I am delighted that it is a Conservative Prime Minister who is bringing in legislation for equal marriage, a move which I support wholeheartedly as long as Churches can opt out if they |wish.
Pam: If you were allowed five guests (living or dead) to your Christmas party this year, who would they be?
(SK): I would probably choose a historic Brighton theme and invite King George IV – who liked a good party at the Pavilion, Brian Clough – who had an eight-month spell in charge of Brighton and Hove Albion in 1974, David James – the MP for Brighton Kemptown 1959-64 who lost by 7 votes after spending his election campaign looking for the Loch Ness monster, Martha Gunn – Brighton's famous bathing machine operator who appeared in an engraving repelling the invading French with a mop, and finally famous Rottingdean resident Rudyard Kipling who said: "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind."
Brighton has always attracted interesting people.
Would you like to quiz key figures in the county?
Are there questions you would love to get the answers to?
We are giving you the chance to put questions to leading figures, politicians and business people across Sussex as part of a new feature called Your Interview. Who would you like to see on the spot?

Subject | Using Jython in Cocoon |
Date | Thu, 27 Jun 2002 09:07:25 GMT |
Hi, I've been using Jython in cocoon for some time by using my own JythonGenerator. And I feel it's simplicity and speed that I can test things is very nice. ScriptGenerator have several shortcomings regarding using Jythons Lib modules and I tried to fix them, but they messed ScriptGenerator too much ,so I decided to move all those modifications to JythonGenerator. I'm using JythonGenerator like this: <map:generate src="tests/test.py" type="python"> <parameter name="databasepool" value="valkeus"/> <parameter name="python.path" value="c:/prog/jython/lib"/> <parameter name="classpath" value="c:/prog/jython/jython.jar"/> Not sure are those settings best to be there or somewhere else? I can also import all .py files that are in python.path or in the same directory as my test.py. Example script using database: test.py ----- import com.ziclix.python.sql as sql import mymodule #connection is pooled connection from sitemap con = sql.PyConnection(connection) cur = con.cursor(1); user = request.getParameter("user") data = mymodule.getdata() output.append("<db>") cur.execute("select * from users where name=? and data=?",(user,data)) for users in cur.fetchall(): output.append("<user>%s</user>"%users[0]) output.append("</db>") ----- I feel quite good on using Jython with Cocoon, it let me escape from XSP verbosity. The question of speed arises though. Now script is loaded everytime request comes. Any advise on that? In attachment you can find the JythonGenerator. Thanks, Lassi Immonen | |

Wow, what a freaking match! Roger Federer beat Tomas Berdych – just barely – in the the quarterfinals of Toronto's Rogers Cup on Friday night: 6-3, 5-7, 7-6 (5). I have to say it was majorly fun to watch live, in the bowl of the stadium, surrounded by a few thousand Fed fanatics.
It wasn't immediately clear where the crowd's loyalties fell – the stadium roared when Berdych took the second set. I wondered if Toronto loved Tomas, loathed Fed or just didn't want to go home early on a Friday night. My question was answered in the third, as every point was met with cries of jubilation or groans of deep, emotional distress. Yep, they desperately wanted Roger Federer to win.
Canadians have the reputation for being fair, nice and humble – remember all those corny features NBC showed during the winter Olympics? Well, maybe they're laid back when it comes to public shows of patriotism, but when a certain Swiss GOAT's on court, they're as partisan as the Croatian crowd during last July's Davis Cup quarters. Hey, I'm kidding. Kind of. Here are some of the random things people yelled from the crowd:
"You're the Champion, Rog!"
"This is Rogers Cup!" (Get it?)
"I love you Roger!" (Someone's mantra, I guess.)
"Nice shirt, Roger!" (I think he meant it.)
"Berdych, you suck!" (Okay, the jerk got booed for that one. Tennis fanatics have their code of honor.)
Further proof that Fedophilism runs rampant on the shores of Lake Ontario: Roger was catcalled mercilessly during his shirt change. I think only Lucie – from wherever she was watching the match – raised an eyebrow when Tomas changed his.
What could Roger say? It's nice to be loved.
"I mean the crowds were absolutely amazing. Rarely, you know, you get those kind of atmospheres, so I knew that was something special. So I'm very thankful of course.
"I have always around the world great support, but when it gets so loud and so exciting, it's obviously something different. Adrenaline starts going, and you hope you come out, you know, on the better end at the end, an that's what I was able to do. I'm really, really happy."
Yes, he's happy – but let's not get carried away:
Q. Where does this victory rank, even with all the Grand Slam championships, but avoiding losing three straight to this guy coming back from 5-2, where do ou rank this victory?
ROGER FEDERER: Look, I've played 800 matches. (Laughter.) It's sort of hard to put a rank on it, but it's nice always winning matches 7-6 in the third, because it's a bit of a flip of the coin. . .It ranks definitely top 100 (Laughter.)
This match is not making the top of Berdych's Happy List.
Tomas was glum in his post-match presser:
"How can I be happy after that match? I lost 7-6 in the third when I was serving to close out the match. There were no other aspects that I can be sitting here and be just a little bit happy. I'm really sad after a match like that."
But he wouldn't blame the crowd for his unhappiness. I asked if he was annoyed by the Fed-partisan fans:
"It's alright. I'm happy that so many people just come to see. They were enjoying. So just let them enjoy."
Thanks, Tomas. I know I enjoyed that one – in a sick, wrong, S&M kind of way. I finally understand why those Saw movies are so popular. Pain. . .good. . .
The Rogers Cup tournament director must be feeling pretty good right now: The top four players in the world are in the Rogers Cup semis! Rafael Nadal takes on Andy Murray in the afternoon semi. Nole just took out Jeremy Chardy, 6-2, 6-4 in the last match of the evening, so he gets Roger Federer tomorrow night.
Here are some more photos from Federer vs. Berdych and pressers:

World's Largest Online Ophthalmic Resource Marks Five-Year Milestone
CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Nov 9, 2012) - The American Academy of Ophthalmology is marking five years of providing sight-saving, clinical knowledge through the Ophthalmic News & Education (ONE®) Network. Since its launch in 2007, the site has become the world's most comprehensive ophthalmic education resource, having been accessed by more than 75,000 ophthalmologists and ophthalmic residents from nearly every country around the globe. The growth of the ONE Network is being highlighted in various sessions at the 116th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, jointly conducted this year with the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology.
To address the fact that 80 percent of blindness around the world is preventable with proper, timely diagnosis and treatment, the Academy created the ONE Network to bring the latest medical advancements, state-of-the-art educational tools and clinical resources to ophthalmologists throughout the world. The information provided to physicians through the one-of-a-kind online learning center has made an impact on patient care across the globe.
The ONE Network has achieved a number of milestones over the past five years, including:
"The ONE Network is the pinnacle of online ophthalmic education," said David W. Parke II, M.D., CEO of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. "The Academy is proud to bring this important resource to so many of the world's ophthalmologists. We are continuing to add new content and functionality, in addition to working with ophthalmic societies around the world to provide greater access to the clinical information they need to provide the best possible care to the patients they serve."
The global reach of the ONE Network allows physicians to provide optimal care to countless people with vision-threatening eye diseases and conditions. Currently, more than one-third of the world's ophthalmologists are using the ONE Network. Importantly, access to the ONE Network is provided to ophthalmologists in developing countries where ophthalmic education resources are often scarce -- regardless of their ability to pay.
"I had a patient with a complication that I had never seen before," said Ronnie Bhola, MBBS, an ophthalmologist from Trinidad and Tobago. "I went to the ONE Network, where I was able to find a video of a patient who had almost an identical problem. This was a really tricky case that I was able to solve because I had access to this great medical resource."
The ONE Network allows users to earn continuing medical education and continuing professional development credits through more than 60 interactive courses and cases. It also helps U.S. ophthalmologists prepare for exams that are required to maintain their certification. These targeted tools and information, along with more than 110 self-assessment tests and 740 clinical videos, help sharpen ophthalmologists' total knowledge base. It offers them a wide range of clinical education tools that include surgical videos, instructional podcasts, practice guidelines and a central place to share resources with peers.
Learn more about the ONE® Network by visiting www.aao.org/one.
The 116th Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology is in session November 10-13 at McCormick Place in Chicago. It is the world's largest, most comprehensive ophthalmic education conference. More than 25,000 attendees and 500 companies gather each year to showcase the latest in ophthalmic education, research, clinical developments, technology, products and services. This year's meeting is being held jointly with the Asia-Pacific Academy of Ophthalmology.

Eye health care is provided by the three "O's" -- ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians. It is the ophthalmologist, or Eye M.D., who can treat it all: eye diseases, infections and injuries, and perform eye surgery. For more information, visit www.aao.org.

The Mail-In Post Where I Call Out Millions Of People
Listen up, people. I've got some personal things on the mind right now (ailing relative if you must know) and blogging is sort of taking a back seat today but after reading the rant at the end, that is a lie. You'll live. So you are getting a mail-in post today with a bunch of quick hitters.
*Apparently, the shitter was full like I already knew. The Redskins cut a metric ton of dead weight from the roster. Say goodbye to Antwaan Randle El (worthless), Fred Smoot (better on a sex cruise), Ladell Betts (terrible), and unfortunately, The Golden Arm of Todd Collins. Those 4 non-contributors made a combined 12 million dollars last year. Just awful. What a terrible organization.
*By the time you read this, NFL free agency will have begun. And that means that Crazy-ass Dan Snyder will have already pissed away 50 million dollars on some old fuck. My guess for this year: Julius Peppers. I expect him to get between 400-420 million per year for 20 years. We never learn. Who is your guess for the first free agent that the Redskins waste money on this offseason? This could be a fun game. If it isn't Peppers, I'll pick Smash Williams from Friday Night Lights.
*I was listening to the Simmons/Rick Reilly podcast last night and Reilly actually made a very good point. Tiger might not be in all this hot water if he weren't so damn cheap. And he's right. His hook-ups aren't spilling secrets if they are getting taken care of. You got to pay those bitches off! If a waitress receives little Tiger but is still waiting tables, of course she is going to spill her guts to the Enquirer. Take care of your ho's, playas.
*If you had one Spring Training game in your office "When Will Nick Johnson Get Hurt" pool, you just won.
*Did you see the video of that skank from Baylor punching that other dyke on the basketball court? I haven't seen a scene in women's sports that ugly since the Pat Summitt sex tape.
*Milton Bradley blamed Chicago for his shittiness last season. This amuses me. I can pinpoint the exact moment when everything went south for this nutjob: the minute he became a Cub.
*Finally, I want to talk about some of the commenters at MGoBlog who were talking shit about me yesterday. Here's the rundown of what happened. Reilly wrote yet another article about court storming yesterday. Deadspin linked to Ace's post from awhile back reminding everyone that Reilly is about the millionth person to write a column about that. Ace posted the link on MGoBlog. Site traffic went up a bit and people from there ended up reading my post from yesterday. They did not care for my colorful language and sense of humor. Needless to say, they are dickless ferries with no fucking clue as to what the internet is all about. If you aren't being funny or you aren't breaking stories, NO ONE IS READING YOU. I decided a long time ago that we were going funny/crude here.
So let me tell you something, Michigan fans. I don't care if you like my style or the opinions that come from this blog. You can continue to post on your little message boards about how The Noid is going to lead Michigan athletics back to the promised land. Of course, in this instance, the "promised land" still means "Tressel's bitch". You people are nobodies. Your thoughts do not have any effect on me. Don't like my jokes about dropping nukes on Japan? Tough fucking shit. Tired of the gay references? That's your problem. I am not a homophobe. I just like calling people queers and faggots. And YOU, Michigan fans, are faggots. In the realm of college athletics, The University of Michigan does not even warrant discussion anymore. And I like to believe that it's not just the shitty leadership, the terrible coaching hires, or the questionable talent in every sport. But it's you. You are awful fans. Never has 100K people sounded so meek than on a Saturday afternoon in The Big House. You were the pre-pubescent girls that got so excited about a win over fucking UConn that you HAD to run on the floor. YOU ARE THE PUNCHLINE TO A JOKE THAT IS STILL BEING TOLD.
I will not be insulted by homos. I will not be insulted by homos. I will not be insulted by homos. Hell, I didn't even start it! Have a good weekend and thanks for letting me get that shit off of my chest. And fuck off, anOSU fans, I still hate you more.

There's a Pat Summitt sex tape?
That skank on Baylor definitely has the same thing going on as that runner from Africa...as in some dude chromosones.
Great rant about Michigan and their pusssy ass fan base. Is there a link where I can see what those FAGGOTS said about you?

I left a link in yesterdays comments.
Grump, you know you have greased your palms many times to Pat Summitt's old vagina.
The Redskins haven't dropped crazy amounts of cash yet, maybe Bruce Allen can actually get through to one of the worst owners in sports.
Did anybody read the Simmons article/chat where he compared Tiger coming back from sex rehab to Ali coming back from the slammer after being jailed for not serving in Vietnam? - 9:50 AM

If you're going to mail-in a rant like that, by all means, mail-in that bitch more often.
I enjoyed reading that thread a great deal.
As for NFL....
Lions are doing some good work today. Signed Burleson to give Calvin something that looks remotely like a decent # 2 WR...about to sign Kyle Vanden Bosch...and traded for Corey Williams of the Browns. Very weird that the Lions are doing decent things.
--Drew - 10:21 AM
Corey Williams and decent move can't be put in the same sentence. Dude was a bust from the day we traded for him.

For the record, despite me being banned from posting on Mgoblog--until I make up another account and drop some more bombs--I still read it quasi-religiously. I have never came across a team specific blog that has better content. The Mgoblog guy knows his shit and I like what he puts out. The commenters on the other hand...the douchiness is unmatched. Grown men beating off to logarithms and star trek would probably be the best description.

Looks like the Skins are going hard after Packets LT Chad Clifton. If you are going to rebuild your O-Line, why wouldn't you look at the Packers first? Rodgers got his ass beat all season. Awful. - 10:49 AM

Dut...Williams was excellent with the Packers in a 4-3 defense...he sucked in the Browns 3-4 defense. Lions roll with a 4-3 and he'll have McCoy or Suh taking up space next to him.

Fake money as in Lydell Ross money?
Ace....MGoBlog is a very good blog and I read it daily as well. That being said, Brian still has Rich Rod's cock shoved way too much down his throat and seemingly won't talk shit about him because he blowed him so hard from the day he was hired. He also looks stupid with how he likes to continue to say that the Free Press was proved wrong by the NCAA findings, when in reality they still came down with five major violations. I've got no problem with him saying the Free Press was on a witch hunt or anythign like that, but to act like their whole practice gate was a fraud just makes him look petty and stupid. His unabashed loyalty to Rich Rod is way worse though.
--Drew - 11:03 AM
Oh....how I love days where I get a Lydell Ross reference. Easily one of my top five least favorite Buckeyes of all time. He was easily the biggest douche. He's currently a fire fighter in Tampa.

This has absolutely nothing to do with anything in todays post, but it's friday and we are all going to drink some booze this weekend right? Well check out this article and see how close we are to being hangover free. I've never been so excited about science. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/03/100301165604.htm
- Mr. Ace said...
Drew, I agree with you for the most part about Brian. I think he had so clearly entrenched himself in favor of RichRod that he has no choice now but stick it out and hope. However, I think he sees how many ppl in the UM community that have been against him since day one and doesn't believe RR is getting a fair shake.
The Freep was "right" in simplest since of the term. It would be like if I said Dut sucks two million dicks per day when it turns out he only sucks 10. The Freep drew attention by throwing out ridiculous claims, as far as numbers, and in turn caused an NCAA investigation that did turn up violations but nothing near what the Freep reported. - 11:31 AM
I also got great enjoyment out of reading the comment thread on mgoblog. The best was after Ace posted G$'s reply to all of it and the comment immediately proceeding it was "I feel dirty."

I just saw on Sportcenter that Julius Peppers is flying to Chicago and probably signing with the Bears. If that happens and Urlacher comes back healthy, the Bears' defense could be nasty. The again, Lovie Smith is still the coach.
Falcons added some cred to their Secondary by signing Dunta Robinson from Houston.

Sony Sound Forge Not Launching After Install
Hey guys,
I just recently bought Sony Sound Forge 10 at a local computer store. I installed it on to my computer, and now it will not open. I have tried running it as "administrator" and that didn't do anything. I tried restarting my computer still nothing. I also tried reinstalling it and that didn't help either. I've looked online and found nothing for this program about this issue. If anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks RitualJman |

Your Love For Me ~ Revelation 4:11a (NASV) ~
God is Lord Almighty ... Omnipotent King ... Lion of Judah ... Rock of Ages ... Prince of Peace ... King of Kings ... Lord of Lords ... Provider ... Protector ... Paternal Leader ... Ruling Lord ... and Reigning King of all the universe. He is Father ... He is Helper ... He is Guardian ... and He is God. He is the First and Last ... the Beginning and the End. He is the Keeper of creation and the Creator of all He keeps. He is the Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times. He always was, He always is, and He always will be. Unmoved, unchanged, undefeated, and never undone.
He was bruised and brought healing. He was pierced and eased pain. He was persecuted and bought freedom. He was dead and bought life. He is risen and brings power. He reigns and brings peace. The world can't understand Him, the armies can't defeat Him, the schools can't explain Him, and the leaders can't ignore Him. Herod couldn't kill Him, the Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, the people couldn't hold Him. Nero couldn't crush Him, Hitler couldn't silence Him, the New Age can't replace Him, and Donahue can't explain Him away.
He is Light, Love, Longevity, and Lord. He is Goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God. He is Holy, Righteous, Mighty, Powerful, and Pure. His ways are right, His word is eternal, His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me. He is my Redeemer, He is my Savior, He is my guide, and He is my peace. He is my joy, He is my comfort, He is my Lord, and He rules my life. I serve Him because His bond is love, His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life. I follow Him because He is the Wisdom of the Wise, the Power of the Powerful, the Ancient of Days, the Ruler of Rulers, the Leader of Leaders, the Overseer of the overcomers, and the Sovereign Lord of all that was and is and is to come. And, if that seems impressive, how about this? His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me, never forsake me, never mislead me, never forget me, never overlook me, and never cancel my appointment in His appointment book. When I fall, He lifts me up. When I fail, He forgives. When I am weak, He is strong. When I am lost, He is the way. When I am afraid, He is my courage. When I stumble, He steadies me. When I am hurt, He heals me. When I am broken, He mends me. When I am blind, He leads me. When I am hungry, He feeds me. When I face trials, He is with me. When I face persecution, He steels me. When I face problems, He comforts me. When I face loss, He provides for me. When I face death, He carries me Home.
He is everything for everybody, everywhere, every time, and every way. He is God. He is faithful, I am His, and He is mine. And, here is the reason I feel so secure: God said it, I believe it, and that settles it. God is in control, I am on His side, and that means all is well with my soul.

I just finished stitching X45 Elephant. It's off to the finisher! This is the needlepoint canvas that we will be doing for the next Lilly Sit & Stitch. Here's a picture of all the canvases in the group.
I love Pink & Green Christmas Needlepoint!

I love to see my designs stitched. It is such a treat to see them come alive with threads and stitches. Suzy Mast Lee, a needlepoint friend from the needlepoint group on Facebook, has taken "changing up the canvas" to new heights!
Suzy stitches at a great shop in Miami, FL, Absolutely Needlepoint (http://www.absolutelyneedlepoint.com) A group, at the shop, have been working with owner, Holly, on Stitch of the Week. Holly gives them a stitch and then each stitcher picks out their own colors and threads to use on the stitch. What a great idea!
What really impresses me the most about this crab canvas is Suzy is using the general colors and layout of the crab, but she is not following the design verbatim!
Here is BB04 Gingham Large Needlepoint Crab painted canvas:
Here is Suzy's interpretation using decorative needlepoint stitches and a fabulous array of threads:
Here's a close up:
Watching this canvas come alive is a huge inspiration! It's helped me think outside the box! I hope it gives you, as it has me, the courage to try something new, change a color or pattern. Most of all make each of your needlepoint canvases your own! I'd love to see any of your ideas for "Making Needlepoint Your Own!"

I posted this on the Needlepoint Facebook Group yesterday: "I have a question for the group: I'm starting a new project. Stitching a sample for a new shape. It's a needlepoint bag. My question is should I do it all in tent/basketweave? (I like stitching tent/basketweave) or can I do it with some decorative stitches? I'm worried about use/snagging? I've never stitched a bag/purse before. Any suggestions are so appreciated!!! Thank you!!"
I got GREAT suggestions from: all basketweave to don't go larger than over 3 mesh threads. Armed with all this great information I thought I would play around with some ideas. I pulled up Skitch app http://evernote.com/skitch/
First I had to get the count right. I'll always choose fooling around with stitches on the computer than on the canvas. I hate ripping out. Somehow I just think better working ideas out this way. And thanks to Robin King's blog for showing me how! http://needlepointstudyhall.blogspot.com
I still thought I wanted to do something with a little texture, interest and speed for the stripes. I looked through my little library of needlepoint stitches on my website.
The Corduroy Stitch is one of my favorites for a stripe. I really wanted to work it in. The way things were counting out I picked Mosaic Stitch to border the Corduroy Stitch.
The navy stripes were harder to visualize. I thought I would try to mimic the Corduroy Stitch, but the count wouldn't work. Then I thought divide the navy stripe with the Mosaic Stitch. That gave me 6 on each side. The Corduroy Stitch still wouldn't work, but Scotch Stitch would work. I'm going to try staggering them.
Here's the thread pull. The navy looks black in the picture, but it's a really pretty navy. I'll be stitching this while driving down to school with my daughter. I'll post progress! If you have any ideas I'd love to hear them!!!

This pair of needlepoint Beach Beauties was inspired by a wind sock hanging in my bathroom!
I see them finished as weighted stand ups for bookends, framed, a pair of pillows, door-hangers ...
I also see a great opportunity to try new threads and try a decorative stitch or two or three!

Color Blocking is a huge trend for spring fashions. It's right up my alley because I love big blocks of color! This is my take on this trend:
I stitched the darker colored blocks with Planet Earth Silk and the lighter colors were stitched with RG Silk Lame` Braid.
Look for more needlepoint color blocking at the June Show!

Where does my Needlepoint Inspiration come from? Everywhere! Sometimes I'm drawn to a color or a pattern, sometimes an object. If the idea stays with me for a couple of days then I work out some needlepoint details. Would other people like the idea too? What size? What will it be? Is it just one idea or can more ideas grow from it? That's what I call "Legs". I try to imagine it in my house. I imagine the threads and stitching it. This all happens before I even tape canvas to a board. Bathing Beauty 1 is a wind sock that hangings in my bathroom. She's been there for a couple of years! Yesterday I thought...she'd make a great needlepoint design! Maybe a door stop. Couldn't get the thought out of my head. She could have some friends!! Painted Stitches on her bathing suit?? Away I go! I'll keep you posted!

I heard last night, on a sitcom, that Valentine's Day is the official end of Christmas. I'm not sure that is the case in the needlepoint world because many of us are busy stitching Christmas needlepoint for those deadlines that are quickly approaching!
Valentine's Day is one of my favorites. My mom always surprised us with a gift that spoke of warmer weather to come. New flip flops, a bathing suit cover up...anything that wasn't winter! It didn't matter if the groundhog saw his shadow or not. We knew that spring was coming soon!
Happy Valentine's Day to all!

The world of needlepoint has a crazy calendar. Needlepoint must be stitched far ahead of time. Christmas decorations are still up and the Easter finishing deadline is looming! I just have time to stitch up a needlepoint Kiss. Here is my thread pull for K08 Candy Kiss. It's on #14 canvas. All Kisses are now on #14 and #18 mesh. I'll keep you posted!

(RI33 Blue Shell Round thread pull)
This is my newest needlepoint project. I need something little, easy to carry around, and simple to finish! A little 3" round is the answer. A trip to my stash and the thread pull was a snap. I also had the Lee Bag Tag in another drawer. I always like to have the leather piece when I pull threads. That way I can match the thread and the leather. Vineyard Silk C-197 English Ivy is a perfect match!
All the Kiss Stitch Sheets are now online!
As always...Free PDF's. Just Click, Print, Needlepoint!
Working out a new needlepoint shape is fun and exciting, but... what if it doesn't work out the way I'd hoped???
I came up with this "kiss" shape. Each canvas will have a different "Painted Stitches" top and a different word on the front. The half circle wraps around into a "kiss". The finisher would put a ribbon coming out of the top. I painted it, stitched it and sent it off. I think it turned out so cute!!
I was thinking of doing 12 Valentine's Day "kisses" but now think I'll do 4 Valentine's Day "kisses", 4 Halloween "kisses" and 4 Christmas "kisses" or should I do 4 Easter "kisses". Would love your opinion!! I need to paint FAST for the show.
This is my progress on PS15 Needlepoint Beach House. I love the decorative stitches and the specialty threads!
These are the threads I pulled for the border:

Everyone needs a little beach house! This is mine...PS15 Needlepoint Beach House. It's a "Painted Stitches" canvas. I'm going to try some decorative stitches in some other areas too. I'm also going to try and use some specialty threads.
This is how I work out my stitches before the Stitch Guide is written. Helps to keep me on the right track. Next is the thread pull. I'll keep you posted!
I just completed breathe Needlepoint.
I wanted to show how the stitcher can pick decorative needlepoint stitches for blocks of color. I used "Sister Stitches" (similar, but slightly different) except the center letter.
These are the decorative needlepoint stitches I used:
I just added PS12 Painted Stitches Ribbon Sampler Stitch Guide to Barbara Bergsten Designs website. This canvas is a great class canvas. The stitches are set up easy to more difficult. The finished needlepoint becomes a great reference for decorative stitches and samples of overdyed threads.
My wish for all on this last day before Christmas!

Just The Spouse's spouse
Editorial Review:Amazon.com:
Classic rock means different things to different people. But when it comes to the 1970s, kitsch classics reign supreme. Joe Dirt is a comedy that combines the '70s stoner vibe with the air-guitar dreamers of the '80s. There are stacks of both overplayed and overlooked hard rock that could accompany this trip down memory lane. At only 12 tracks, this brief introduction is for those who have never experienced classic rock radio. Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever," Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama," and the Doobie Brothers' "China Grove" are obvious staples, while Argent's 1972 hit "Hold Your Head Up" and April Wine's 1978 track "Roller" border on the obscure. George Thorogood blows out his amp with a pulverizing version of Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love." But the inclusion of Cheap Trick and Eddie Money tips the balance toward pop rock that most self-respecting mullet-heads would never order up on the local jukebox. --Rob O'Connor |

Janco Dada Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Janco Dada Museum is located in Ein Hod, Israel. It is a museum that exhibits the work of Marcel Janco as well as art from the Dada movement and contemporary art too. The museum was established in 1983, by a group of Marcel Janco's friends, with the purpose of conserving the works and ideas of the sole Dadaist living in Israel.[1] Marcel Janco thought of Ein Hod as the right place for a museum. He conceived the idea of establishing the artists' village, and invited in the first group of founders in 1953.[2]

Maybe it's that I have dental work (crowns & filling) that I find this gum unappealing, or maybe it's that it's bland.
Made from natural chicle (the original ingredient in gum), this is gum the way our ancestors chewed it. The flavor of this batch is orange. I expected it to taste like aspergum and luckily it tasted more like orange candles. It's slightly waxy, very sweet but has a good chew (if you avoid your repaired teeth). The flavor fades quickly and leaves a bland beige gummy material in your mouth. I have no idea if real chicle can be digested.
I've also tried the standard mint flavor, which has a longer lasting flavor but the same stickiness.
Rating: 5 out of 10.

I've got a gum phobia due to crappy gum sticking to my teeth.
your gum is cheap
jeese i hate crappy gum
It does lack flavor but it's pretty good!
I have been on a gum kick lately but hate how almost every gum company now adds Aspartame to their gum! (Even the kind that's not supposed to be sugar free!) I heard about this gum and have been contemplating ordering some but now I'm not sure if I will! I might pick up some if I ever see it in stores to see if I like it at all, but yeah..definitely don't want to waste money buying something I might not even like.

Big news for Shaquille O'Neal. Now he can add a new name to his plethora of nicknames, Doctor O'Neal. Shaq will be awarded his PHD in education this weekend from Barry University in Miami Shores, Fla, a Roman Catholic University.
Shaq put in more than four years of graduate school work, including one-on-one class sessions and completed 16 courses, 54 credit hours, and finished with a 3.8 GPA.
It should be noted that Shaq completed his undergrad from LSU in general studies and a political science minor and his Masters degree in Business administration from the University of Phoenix, all while still active in the NBA. I hope he's an inspiration to other athletes (and regular students also) that you can still live out your dreams while securing a path to the future. Congratulations Shaq!

In all honesty, I rushed a bit in the end. I wish I could of finish it the way I intended, but I had other plans for future movies, comics and manga.
So this is my first real flash animation for Newgrounds, showing off my capabilities. Please check my site(s) for more of my stuff. Also, I'll buy a new microphone, because I hate my voice recordings in this movie... ugh.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
tuypo1 is right its just an ad besides those two would do better in a game
I'm going into game design, and I would if I could, but I can't think of a gaming idea to put these two in. But anyone can give it a shot. I welcome it.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Nice one, made me laugh quite a bit ;) Only thing what really needs improvement is the sound. Voice acting could use some work, as well as the quality, but you said you're working on that one. Goed luck with your future projects ;)
Rated 3 / 5 stars
The flash was cool, and both the characters made me laugh a bit. Umm your links didn't work for me, I don't know if it's just me but you should look into that just in-case. The voice quality was a bit muffled but you said your microphone sucked so it's understandable. Good luck with your work on here and other places~
3/5 :3
The links should work now, I updated the file.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Good voices (Believe me, your microphone is better than mine)... good graphics, I'd like to check this site...

SMETANA, TEXAS. Smetana is on U.S. Highway 190/State Highway 21 six miles west of Bryan in Brazos County. It was settled by a number of Bohemian families in the early 1880s. A small store and a school were in operation by 1885. A post office opened in the community in 1896 and continued in operation until 1906. In 1941 Smetana had four businesses, two schools, two cemeteries (one for blacks, one for whites), and a number of scattered dwellings. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s the population was listed at fifty. It was shown as twenty in 1962 and eighty in 1990. The population expansion was due in part to the growth of the Bryan-College Station area and Texas A&M University. The Texas A&M Research and Extension Center (Old Bryan Army Airfield) is located one mile west of Smetana. In 1980 the town had three businesses, two community halls, and two cemeteries. By the late 1980s it had two restaurants and a grocery store. In 2000 the population was eighty.

Directed by Kevin Smith
In the opening scene of Kevin Smith's Chasing Amy there's a hint that the 27-year-old New Jersey auteur has taken a step forward since his famously foul-mouthed 1993 debut Clerks. We're at a comic-book convention where a sweaty fan is enthusing to one of the authors, Holden (Ben Affleck), about his superhero characters: "They're like Cheech and Chong meet Bill and Ted." "I like to think of them," replies Holden, "as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern meet Vladimir and Estragon." The implication is not just that Smith has been reading plays - his films have always been theatrical in that they are driven by dialogue - but that he has found a new, darker and more complex template for his examinations of male camaraderie.
Like the convenience-store shop assistants of Clerks and the shopping- mall slackers of Smith's justly neglected follow-up Mallrats, Holden spends his time swapping graphic tales of sexual misadventure and elaborate deconstructions of Star Wars with his best friend, Banky (Jason Lee), the colourist who inks in his drawings. But when Holden starts dating Alyssa (Joey Lauren Adams), a fellow comic-book artist and - gasp - a lesbian, Banky's reaction isn't to slap him on the back and hail a victory for penetrative sex. Instead, furiously jealous, he does his best to break up the relationship, digging up dirt on Alyssa and unleashing tirades of abuse that are as hilarious as they are grotesquely homophobic.
Smith's dialogue is as rich in expletives as ever, but his wordplay is growing more sophisticated. (Perhaps he has been reading Stoppard after all.) When Alyssa talks about making out with another girl, Banky protests, "Shouldn't you at least modify the term `fuck' with something like `fist'?" But this sort of verbal dexterity isn't just showing off. Chasing Amy makes explicit what Clerks merely suggested, that the relentless posturing and spieling of these young men is just a way of fending off emotion. For all its crude banter and cunnilingus jokes, Chasing Amy is at heart a surprisingly poignant account of how mistrust destroys love and friendship. It's also extremely funny.
Last Summer in the Hamptons (15)
Directed by Henry Jaglom
The sunlit Long Island settings and monied bohemian milieu of Henry Jaglom's Last Summer in the Hamptons couldn't seem further removed from Smith's world of amusement arcades and comic-book conventions. But, like Smith, Jaglom is a committed independent who, for three decades now, has made his films with his friends, as cheaply as possible, and absolutely on his own terms. And both share a scrappy shooting style that aims to capture the words being spoken, and little more.
In Last Summer in the Hamptons, three generations of a theatrical dynasty congregate for their annual production in the garden of their rambling summer home, which is up for sale. The play they have chosen for their swansong is The Seagull, and Chekhovian echoes abound. There's the charismatic matriarch (Viveca Lindfors), a legendary stage actress whose three daughters and many grandchildren struggle both to emulate and to escape her. And there's the gun which, having been shown in the first act, must of course be used in the third (as it is, in a moment borrowed from the other master who casts his shadow here, Jean Renoir.)
Jaglom, who studied at the Actors' Studio himself, has great fun puncturing the pretensions of the self-congratulatory thespians, for whom "You're so talented" is as natural a greeting as "Good morning". He also has a real affection for them, actresses in particular, and draws heartfelt, revealing performances from, among others, Melissa Leo (the tough Baltimore cop in Homicide: Life on the Street) as the incestuously inclined granddaughter overwhelmed by the prospect of playing Masha, and Victoria Foyt (Jaglom's latest wife, muse and, here, co-writer) as the Hollywood action heroine who dreams of doing experimental theatre in the Midwest. But the film belongs to Lindfors, the radiant Swedish actress who died in 1995, shortly after the film was shot. In a fitting tribute, she enjoys some delicate moments watching her younger self on video, opposite Ronald Reagan and Errol Flynn in the 1940s, Hollywood romances that made her a star.
Trial and Error (12)
Directed by Jonathan Lynn
Mavericks like Smith and Jaglom only seem more valuable in a week when the mainstream Hollywood products are so lame. In Trial and Error the dependable Jeff Daniels is once again reduced, as in Dumb and Dumber, to playing straight man to a TV comic, here Michael Richards. Teaming one of the stars of Seinfeld with the man behind Yes Minister must have seemed to the British director Jonathan Lynn like a foolproof recipe for smart comedy. But while the highly contrived premise, about an actor (Richards) who has to fight a trial in place of his incapacitated buddy (Daniels), might have promised some sly insights into the way trial lawyers have to perform, all it delivers is a tiresome courtroom farce that re-hashes the city-lawyer-in-the-sticks formula of Lynn's earlier My Cousin Vinny.
Incognito (15)
Directed by John Badham
Another British-born Hollywood jack-of-all-trades who seems to have lost his touch, John Badham returns to his native land with Incognito, but it's hard to imagine any director with a less convincing grasp of modern English life. An archaic travelogue thriller about a brilliant American forger (Jason Patric) who comes to Europe to fake a Rembrandt, it opens with an establishing shot of the Houses of Parliament, followed closely by Tower Bridge, before heading to Paris, where Patric, inevitably, strolls by the Seine and wears a beret. The Swiss actress Irene Jacob, meanwhile, turns up as the Dutch expert called in to authenticate Patric's fake, before the two of them get handcuffed together for a 39 Steps-style chase round the pubs of the Home Counties, pursued by a pistol-packing Cork Street dealer. Despite having Rod Steiger's eyes, Patric's Rembrandt looks quite plausible; as for Incognito, it's a certified fake. How it came to be shown at the London Film Festival this week is anyone's guess.
Full Contact (18)
directed by Ringo Lam
The Hong Kong director Ringo Lam recently followed his compatriot John Woo to Hollywood and, on the evidence of his 1992 film Full Contact, released in the wake of last week's Maximum Risk, that's not the only way he has copied him. Wood's favourite star, Chow Yun Fat, plays the bouncer-turned- armed robber who is double-crossed and left for dead in Bangkok before returning to a rainswept Hong Kong in search of vengeance. Lam's shoot- outs have a pyrotechnic flair, the camera hurtling through the air in pursuit of slow-motion bullets, but in between them the relentless, blood- spurting brutality and squealing electric guitar soundtrack make Woo look like a master of understatement.

Updated: 28th October
Last Updated: 30th September We've now removed all cancelled shows and created a new tab for this and last Years Shows.
The SpoilerTV Show Status Report is an organized list of the TV shows that are currently airing and returning to TV. This list, powered by Google Docs, is updated regularly by us and will have up-to-date information such as renewal info and premiere/return dates. In addition, each show on the list also has regular info, such as current season, its network and the regular timeslot. We hope that this will make it easier than ever to track your favorite TV series from start to finish!
Jan. 13, 2013: Thanks to Stacy for revamping the report and adding more shows. This is now one of the most comprehensive lists on the Internet I believe now.
Nov. 4, 2012: Added renewals for Hell on Wheels and Wilfred, and added premiere dates for Community, Smash, 1600 Penn, Deception, Necessary Roughness, Suits and White Collar.
Oct. 28, 2012: Added premiere dates for Whitney, The Following and Touch. Also added "Cancelled" to Animal Practice's notes and "Final season" to Private Practice's notes. Plus, added third season renewal to Homeland.
Oct. 17, 2012: Added premiere dates for Girls (Jan. 13) and Enlightened (Jan. 13). Also added in Bob's Burgers' renewal.
Oct. 10, 2012: Added premiere date for Psych S07 (Feb. 27) and removed Made in Jersey (officially cancelled). In addition, Whitney and Community's initial Oct. 19 premieres have been postponed and their list entries have been changed back to default.
Important Information About the Guide:
- New shows will be added once their initial premiere date is announced. This is because some shows tend to be pushed back further than expected, and we want to keep this guide as clean as possible with only confirmed info on the list.
- If a show finishes its season finale before being renewed for another season, it will be removed from the list. This is because some shows take a long while before any renewal or cancellation info is announced. If it gets renewed, then the show will be added back on to the list.
- We are constantly working on improving this list to fit the taste of the readers/viewers. If you have an opinion on something we can add or change, feel free to drop off a comment in the comment section!

Madame Risquée (WHOIS) often gets asked what you gals (and guys) should wear to a Burlesque event. besides fun and sexy corsets plus mini hats or vintage style clothing, there are more options. The madame has asked clothing shops owners about their idea what to wear and has some ideas herself: |
Madame Risquée's statement on what to wear: Dress up fancy, in costume: chique, suave, funny, funky, sexy, freaky, rock and roll, glamorous. |
Burlesque Clothing Styles by Nina YoungAttending a burlesque show provides the perfect excuse to get really dressed up! Both men and women will often put a lot of effort into their outfits, and in order to look the part clothing must always have a hint of historical styling. The art of burlesque originated from Victorian times when the steel boned corset was at the height of fashion. Burlesque performers and showgoers alike can often be seen laced into beautiful corsets, giving them the most gorgeously feminine hourglass figures. In keeping with the fashions of those times, women would not been seen dead leaving the house without a hat! A typical burlesque outfit will often include a mini hat or a fascinator, either with or without a veil. Dress codes are formal so do put your best heels on and wear accessories such as evening gloves and retro style jewels. Another strong influence in burlesque clothing styles is the fun and flirty old fashioned showgirl look with lots of frills, flounces and feathers! A corset suits this style too and is the perfect thing to wear with your stockings, frilly retro shorts, feather bustles and ostrich feather hair bands. If you'd rather not grab as much attention as the showgirls then why not try a 40's or 50's style dress, teamed with a matching hat showing off a style of the same era. There are plenty of modern pin up style shoes which would finish this look off perfectly. Men can also look the part in quite a variety of different styles too, but again styles must always have an historical flavour. My personal favourite is the Victorian gentleman look, with a beautifully tailored suit and waistcoat and a grand looking hat. To make that look even more fabulous try experimenting with a touch of Steampunk. Steampunk adds fabulous elements of futuristic looking items such as brass goggles (which can be worn over your top hat rather than your eyes). If you'd rather look a little more conservative or the event demands more chic attire then you cannot go wrong with a classic tuxedo and dress shirt, which women adore! About the Author:

Published February 25, 2010
NBC hockey analyst Mike Milbury following last night's Canada-Russia men's hockey game, which Canada won 7-3, said he was "really disappointed that (Russia) came with their Eurotrash game." Milbury: "There was just no heart, no guts, no nothing there (from the Russians) to back it up." NBC host Bill Patrick in response asked, "Did you really say Eurotrash? Did that come out of your mouth?" Milbury: "I did" ("XXI Winter Olympics," CNBC, 2/24). NBC's Jeremy Roenick, located on the set between Patrick and Milbury, "sat stunned ... with his mouth open" following Milbury's comment (NJ.com, 2/24). YAHOO SPORTS' Sean Leahy notes "outrage over Milbury's use of 'Eurotrash' began immediately after the word left his lips." The criticism "will only continue to grow" today, as there are no men's hockey games scheduled before Friday's semifinals. Milbury is NBC's "attempt at an American Don Cherry," but Leahy wonders if Milbury should be "punished for his remarks." NBC "may succumb to the criticisms and take Milbury off the air," or they could "just continue to do what they've done best the past two weeks and not listen to anyone" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 2/25).
NOT HIS FIRST QUESTIONABLE COMMENT: FANHOUSE.com's Adam Gretz noted the comment is not the "first time in this tournament Milbury's words have raised a few eyebrows," as earlier in the Olympics Milbury said Germany men's coach Uwe Krupp is "basically asking his guys to be fire hydrants and they're getting peed on right now." Since joining NBC, it has been "painfully obvious that Milbury is supposed to be America's answer to Don Cherry." Gretz wrote that means "loud screaming" and the "occasional controversial comment or viewpoint" (FANHOUSE.com, 2/24). In Ft. Lauderdale, Dave Hyde writes Milbury last night "sounded like your stereotypically overbearing North American" (SUN-SENTINEL.com, 2/25). But MEDIAITE's Colby Hall writes, "I move that all sports should now feature the frank and candid analysis of Mike Milbury" (MEDIAITE.com, 2/25).
CHANGE OF PHILOSOPHY: NBC will air tomorrow's U.S.-Finland men's hockey semifinal live across the entire country at 3:00pm ET after yesterday's U.S.-Switzerland game aired live in only the Eastern and Central time zones (THE DAILY). YAHOO SPORTS' Greg Wyshynski wrote he would "like to congratulate NBC ... for coming to its senses regarding the idiocy of tape-delaying events held in the Pacific Time Zone to viewers in the Pacific Time Zone." Wyshynski: "The people have spoken. NBC has listened" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 2/24). In Seattle, Ron Judd wrote under the header, "OMG! NBC To Show Next Hockey Round Live All Time Zones." Judd wrote NBC will say the decision had "nothing to do with all those angry letters and emails," but "don't believe them" (SEATTLETIMES.com, 2/24). The AP's David Bauder gives the lowlight of NBC's coverage yesterday to the "inexplicable decision to air the U.S. men's hockey game against Switzerland on tape delay out West, three hours behind." Bauder: "It's not like a Nordic ski event, folks. Give NBC credit for recognizing the blunder and announcing that Friday's hockey game will be shown live across the country" (AP, 2/25).
TAKING MATTERS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS: The SEATTLE TIMES' Judd reported Seattle's KING-NBC streamed the U.S.-Switzerland game "LIVE on its own Web site, via a link to the nbcolympics.com site." NBC's "stated objectives for its delays are to put events on in prime time, when the most viewers are available to watch them." Judd asked, "So how do they justify delaying a weekday noon hockey game to 3 p.m.? Do they honestly believe they'll have more viewers at 3 p.m. for a game where everyone already knows the results than they would live at noon?" (SEATTLETIMES.com, 2/24).
CONTENT WITH DECISION: In Dallas, Barry Horn noted NBC has "no misgivings about going with taped skiing and ice dancing" on the net last Sunday and airing the U.S.-Canada men's hockey game on MSNBC. An NBC official said, "You do know that 53[%] of the Olympic audience is women." Horn wrote NBC's "job is not to grow the NHL" (DALLASNEWS.com, 2/24). But in California, Randy Youngman writes it was a "huge mistake to air the U.S.-Canada men's hockey game on MSNBC instead of NBC, which would have guaranteed an even bigger audience." Youngman also writes the decision to tape-delay U.S.-Switzerland on the West Coast was "absolute lunacy" (ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER, 2/25).
