Piers Morgan Tonight
CNN November 30, 2012 9:00pm-10:00pm PST
9:00 pm
tonight, show them the money. >> we're still stunned by what's happened. >> america's power ball winners, now $293 million richer. >> i called my husband, i said i think i'm having a heart attack. >> can they ever be the same? i will talk to their closest friends. also, back on the campaign trail. >> we can solve these problems. >> with 32 days to go, will you be paying higher taxes? my political all-stars weigh in on battleground america. and against all odds, after sandusky, penn state's incredible comeback. my exclusive interview with the
9:01 pm
coach of the year. and a reunion with a dear old friend whose bark is as bad as her bite. sharon osbourne. her incredible year of highs and lows and how she's rebuilding her life after facing a terrible health prognosis. >> i couldn't see myself going through chemoagain. >> this is "piers morgan tonight." good evening. who ever thinks the american dream is dead or dying should meet mark and cindy hill, a missouri couple who live a very ordinary life. at least that's what they were doing until wednesday and a little thing called power ball came along. sure, the odds were 1 in 175 million, but like everybody else in america, pretty much everyone else, they bought a ticket. wouldn't you know it, they won. sharing the jackpot with another lucky winner. today, the hills are holding a check in their hands for a cool $293 million. not surprisingly, they are in a state of shock. while we wait for them to absorb what's happened, i talked to two
9:02 pm
people who know them better than most. joining me now, sandra and walt stubbs, good close friends of power ball winners, mark and cindy hill. welcome to you both. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> what an amazing story. tell me about these friends of yours who have suddenly gone from regular struggling american family to fabulously rich. >> well, mark and cindy went to high school with us, and you know, just an amazing story. just great people. salt of the earth. they bought the ticket and one day they were struggling like everybody else and now they're millionaires. >> what's amazing is that mark was laid off in 2010 from work, cindy then took time off work to care for the baby they adopted from china, and they were hoping to adopt another child, but
9:03 pm
finances were tight and so on. now of course they can afford to do all this. but they seem very decent, i say ordinary, i don't mean ordinary in any kind of negative way, i just mean regular americans. >> yes. they are very grounded. they have strong bonds with their family. they really enjoy their family. they will definitely take care of their family now. >> let's play a little clip, this is of cindy, who bought the ticket, at the press conference earlier. >> i didn't have my glasses and i was thinking is that the right numbers, is that the right numbers? and i was shaking and i called my husband, i said i think i'm having a heart attack, god blessed us with this. and for some reason, he put it in our hands. i think to make sure that it goes to the right things. and -- but we were blessed before we ever won this. >> how do you guys find out about this, walt?
9:04 pm
>> since we're pretty familiar in the community, several people in the community started texting us about, oh, 9:00 that morning, and you know, of course, there are no secrets in a small town so everybody was pretty much calling around saying hey, he won, and mark put it on his facebook which i was totally amazed that he did that. so everybody pretty much knew. >> it's a lovely story. dearborn in missouri is a small place. as you say, everybody knows each other. cindy and mark have three grown-up sons, jason, cody and jared and a 6-year-old adopted daughter, jaden, from china. it really is a wonderful pre-holiday story, isn't it? >> yes. it is. it's just a blessing. they couldn't have had a better couple to get it because they will definitely take care of the family but they are also really involved in the community. we're really happy for them. >> do you know how they are going to spend the money, sandra? have they given any indication
9:05 pm
to you? >> all they said today was that they were definitely going to take care of their family and their grandchildren and set up college funds for them, and then they had some charities they are really into the adoption and so i know that they were possibly thinking about getting another child, and making sure that the adoption community, you know, gets some of their money. >> walt, did you buy tickets yourselves for this powerball? >> we did. we did. we were watching but you know what, if we can't win, we're happy that they're the ones that won. >> yes. >> if i bought a ticket and my best mates won, a little part of me would be like oh, god, why not me? >> you know what, i think that it's important. mark and cindy are great people, i think that they will do a good job taking care of this money
9:06 pm
and they're just special people. sorry we didn't win but glad they did. >> very glad. >> what's going to happen to mark's job now with all this? >> he's not going back to work. cindy -- >> i'll bet he isn't. >> cindy isn't going to an interview. cindy had an interview scheduled for today and she did not go to that, either. >> no, i would imagine work is the last thing on their minds. but it's a great story. i'm very thrilled for your friends. the mere fact you're also happy for them says it all. they are obviously lovely people and exactly the kind of people you hope win something like the powerball. so thank you for joining me. please pass on my very sincere congratulations to them and if they want to come on this show and talk about it, i would love to see them. >> we'll let them know. >> thank you. >> thanks. now to another long shot winner. the year of enormous scandal and shame for penn state and its football team. tonight, an extraordinary story of hope and healing. against the odds, the nittany lions and its head coach, bill
9:07 pm
o'brien, led to an incredible 8-4 season. that's not all. he was just named big ten coach of the year. coach bill o'brien joins me now for an exclusive interview. coach o'brien, welcome to you. >> hey, piers, how are you doing? thanks for having me on tonight. >> you've had this extraordinary run which really nobody was expecting. it started obviously amid extremely difficult circumstances. when you took over from the legendary joe paterno with all the shame and scandal that had befallen penn state, be honest with me, what was really going through your mind? >> well, i knew that it was going to be a difficult challenge and so the first thing i tried to do was put together a great coaching staff and i think that's what we've done here. then obviously, we spent a lot of time with the players and we talked to the players about moving forward and what this university was all about, which was a great chance to get a fantastic education and play good football, and so we weren't here then, so we knew that this
9:08 pm
was a chance for us as a new football coaching staff to help these kids and help this athletic department and this university move forward. >> to put it in perspective, let's remind people of the sanctions that were laid down after the scandal. a $60 million fine, a four-year bowl ban, all wins vacated, scholarships cut for four years. on the back of that, 15 players left, 31 fourth and fifth year seniors stayed. how did you persuade the ones who stayed to stay? because clearly, it wasn't going to be to their footballing advantage necessarily. >> right. you know, it was in the summertime when the sanctions came out and right away, we had a team meeting that day, and we talked about a lot of different things but we talked about the commitment that they had made to each other and the commitment that they had made to the football program and to the university. and that there was still the education here and the ability
9:09 pm
to receive a world renowned degree. that wasn't changing. they were going to be able to play football in front of 100,000 fans. that wasn't changing. and they knew at the end of the day that they were going to be able to play a lot of football in a great conference on tv and so that was something that they knew in their minds was not changed. so at the end of the day, we had a lot of guys that chose to stay with us. we had a series of team meetings after that leading up to training camp and we had a fantastic senior class that helped keep it all together. >> you lost the first two games of the season. i would imagine your heart was right in your mouth at that point. but since then, incredible statistics. 8 for 4 overall season, 6 for 2 big ten record. you were named big ten coach of the year by the media and fellow coaches. you were the first penn state first year coach to win eight games in 126 years of the program, and many of the players received big ten honors as well. a quite incredible array of honors given where you started
9:10 pm
from. >> well, i think it was a difficult beginning. the guys were learning a new system on offense and defense and still a lot of the things that we were doing football wise here were different than what they had done in the past and there were growing pains early in the season. i think the guys were frustrated because we all knew that we had the makings of a good football team. i will never forget the monday after the virginia game where we came back to work, our guys really practiced hard that day and we knew then as a coaching staff we had a resilient bunch of guys that were eventually not going to be denied to win some games. we ended up beating navy that week and we got on a little bit of a roll which was good, and we ended up 8-4 like you said, and it was a good start to this new era of penn state football. >> how have you dealt with the obvious which is the difficulty i guess in rebuilding trust with fans, with parents in particular, of boys now playing at penn state after the
9:11 pm
appalling crimes of jerry sandusky? how have you dealt with that, how have you talked to your players about that and indeed, to the parents? how have you reassured everybody that there's a whole new world now at penn state and they don't have to worry about it? >> well, i believe that we have great communication with our players, number one. we talk to our players all the time. we have good communication with the parents of our players. i think they feel good about the direction of the football program. one of the things that we've done here, piers, i believe, is we've helped move the community forward. there's many things that we do in the community that help the state college community but probably number one is as we move forward, is going to make sure we do our part to put an end to child abuse. we work with the pennsylvania coalition against rape and that's something that is a partnership that will continue as long as i'm here. so i think our guys are a little bit wise beyond their years.
9:12 pm
they understand the reason that we're in the position that we're in because of the sanctions that came down. they know why those sanctions came down and it's a little bit more than football to these guys. they understand that. they're going to do their part in the community and that's what we're trying to do, in addition to going to class and playing good football. >> what are your thoughts personally towards joe paterno and indeed, towards jerry sandusky? >> well, you know, i'll start with coach paterno. you know, obviously you look at the body of work and the body of work that he had here as the football coach was tremendous. he graduated 90% of his players and he won a lot of football games here. i think that, you know, i'm just a football coach so i'm not here to judge anybody's legacy. all i will tell you is that it's my job to move this football program forward and one of the reasons and one of the ways that we move it forward is by making sure that we graduate our players and that we play good football on saturdays.
9:13 pm
as far as jerry sandusky goes, you know, he's in jail and he's paying for his crimes and you know, we've moved forward as a university and we're looking forward to the future. >> well, you certainly have moved forward, coach o'brien. it's been an astonishing transformation. i congratulate you personally on the achievements you've had and wish you continued good success. thank you for joining me. >> thank you, piers. coming next, battleground america and the fight over your looming tax bill. joy's christmas shopping and was looking at best buy for the latest smartphone. you wanna see if walmart has the same phone, for less? let's see! samsung galaxy s3 --- you could save over $50. no way! and -- you get a $100 gift card. are you serious?! yes! see for yourself how much you can save on the smartphones you want for christmas. walmart. without freshly-made pasta. you could also cut corners by making it without 100% real cheddar cheese. but then...it wouldn't be stouffer's mac & cheese. just one of over 70 satisfying recipes for one from stouffer's.
9:14 pm
[ gordon ] for some this line is a convenience. how you doing today? i'm good thanks. how are you? i'm good. [ gordon ] but for others, it's all they can afford. every day nearly nine million older americans don't have enough to eat. anything else? no, not today. join me, aarp, and aarp foundation in the drive to end hunger by visiting drivetoendhunger.org.

9:17 pm
if congress does nothing, every family in america will see their income taxes automatically go up on january 1st. i'm assuming that doesn't sound too good to you. that's sort of like the lump of coal you get for christmas. that's a scrooge christmas. >> president obama in a factory outside philadelphia today, pushing his financial plan. make no mistake, it's all about your tax bills and if washington can make a deal before you start paying more. with me is democratic strategist marjorie cliften and gerri jacobus. welcome to you both. listening to john boehner today and the president, it's pretty clear there's no deal anywhere near being settled here. i don't know about you, i'm just getting really bored with it. why don't they just get round a
9:18 pm
table and get it done? let me start with you gerri. >> i think the president going to pennsylvania to the tinker toy plant on a campaign stop essentially is probably not going to go over as well as he thinks it does, particularly since we thought we were done with that. we just went through it a few weeks ago. thought campaign stops were over and he inflicts this on us again. the american people expect him to sit down with the republicans in congress and work this out. now, a year ago or so, last year, he agreed to $800 billion in tax hikes. that's kind of where the number was. he comes back with twice that and when he gets obviously a no from republicans, you don't double it and say that's okay. he immediately goes out on the campaign trail so he does need to come back to washington, they need to sit down. that's what the american people expect them to do. >> i mean, the bottom line is he's just been re-elected, he's the winner. the republicans were vanquished and i suspect president obama says i'll be calling the shots here. >> there is still a month left. we've got to have something to talk about for the rest of the month, right?
9:19 pm
you have to kind of look at this as sort of a poker game. everybody's going to sort of try to barter for as best a deal as they can get and know they are going to have to make concessions along the way. what he did is he went for it. he said look, i'm going to do $1.6 trillion in tax hikes, only $400 billion in cuts. he conveniently did not cut social security, medicare and medicaid which poll as the most popular programs and things that americans actually want. and if you look at it, 60% of americans actually support the idea of raising taxes and that of course goes beyond those that just voted for him. so he's going with what are the popular issues that i know i can get americans around me and i'm going to put republicans in a really tight spot where they're going to have to either say look, we're going to make cuts to programs that we know that you like and frankly, they know that it's going to be bad for republicans if a deal doesn't get done. so a lot's still happening behind the scenes and what we're hearing publicly is a lot of posturing in that poker game happening. >> yeah. the problems of republicans it seems to me is they've had this completely intransigent position
9:20 pm
driven by grover norquist, but all the polls say two-thirds of americans are quite happy for the wealthier to pay more taxes in america. i think they should just get on with it and suck it up. >> well, it was a relatively close election but the president did win anhe has to own this. we also know that the "washington post" said this, and if you just close the loopholes and deductions on the folks instead of just raising their tax rates outright, you can come up with close to that $800 billion that they did agree on last year. you get to about 750. to come in with a $1.6 trillion as your starting point, i can't believe it's serious. i don't blame the leadership, mcconnell apparently burst -- senator mcconnell burst out laughing. i don't blame him because it's absolutely ridiculous to come back from last year with twice the amount. it's not a serious offer and i think it's in bad form for the president to go out on this campaign stop. he needs to sit down and work with republicans. we understand that the president won and the house is still in
9:21 pm
republican hands. both sides need to understand that. but the president did not -- it wasn't a landslide. he did win. he's also got to own this. it seems to me and i think this is going to seem more american people are going to start seeing this, too, he doesn't really want to come to a deal. he doesn't want to show leadership and gets this done. it seems he wants to stick the shiv in their back. people expect him to do his job. this is an opportunity for leadership. he should take it, quite frankly. >> i would say that -- >> it wasn't a landslide but it was a fair beating. to give you some idea just how bad mitt romney lost, look at this picture of him. this is apparently mitt romney at a mcdonald's on the same day that he had lunch with the president, actually having a mcflurry. that is how bad things have got. >> i don't think it's bad. >> you are trying to convince me it wasn't a terrible beating. look at the man. >> it's painful. it was painful but it wasn't
9:22 pm
like the reagan/mondale, that kind of situation. that's a great picture of mitt romney. i don't think -- he's probably got, the money the guy has, he goes to mcdonald's. sometimes that's why rich people are rich. they don't waste their money. >> i know he likes mcdonald's, actually. when i interviewed him in london in the summer, it was literally an hour after he had come out with all these criticism of the olympics and how badly it was all being organized by the british and of course, the british took very badly to his comments, and mitt romney arrived at the location for our interview and all he said to me was i need a mcdonald's and i need it fast. >> sometimes you just need your mcdonald's. >> i think he needs these things as a comfort blanket before tricky meetings. >> we all do. >> thank you both very much indeed for joining me. >> thank you. >> no problem. coming up next, my emotional interview with a very good old friend who has got a little nip to her bite. sharon osbourne on her life-changing year. let's say you want to get ahead in your career.
9:23 pm
how do you get from here... to here? at university of phoenix we're moving career planning forward so you can start figuring that out sooner. ln fact, by thinking about where want your education to lead, while you're still in school, you might find the best route... leads somewhere you weren't even looking. let's get to work.
9:24 pm
9:25 pm
9:26 pm
9:27 pm
my relationship with sharon osbourne has always been, well, let's just say a little complicated. we spent a lot of time together onstage and off. we were both judges on "america's got talent" for four very, very long years. but a lot has changed since then. joining me now exclusively is sharon osbourne, co-host of cbs' "the talk" and a woman that despite everything, i love dearly. how are you? >> i love you more, by the way, and i'm fine. and it was five years we worked together. >> was it really? >> five years. >> god. it was fun, though, wasn't it? >> we had a blast, didn't we? >> you do look great, i've got to say. despite this, you have been through this horrific experience. you had a double mastectomy. tell me what happened. last i saw you, you were blooming in good health. >> i was. okay.
9:28 pm
what happened was, and i had this last january, but i just kept quiet about it because it was my -- it was elective surgery. i decided i wanted to do this because the year before, i had had a test called the genome test. do you remember genome got in touch with ozzie and said we want to test you, because we have no idea why you're still alive, with everything you've gone through, and if you can imagine a dna but like a million times more complex than that, that's what the genome test is. they did ozzie, they did me and it came back that i carried -- i knew i had the cancer gene but the breast cancer gene and i had already had the colon cancer, and i just couldn't -- i couldn't deal with it. >> having been through cancer once, what did you feel? you have had, as we will come to later, a very traumatic year already in many ways with jack and other things. how did you feel when you got
9:29 pm
this back and thought here we go again? >> i couldn't see myself going through chemo again. that was really -- it's not the operation for it, it's not any of that. it's the chemo that really gets you and i just thought i don't want to do it and if i can avoid it, then i will, and i don't want to keep going to be tested every six months, to have a mammogram. and i had implants in, anyway, so i had really big -- >> i remember. >> yeah. oh, i flashed you. that's right. >> you may remember i woke up on the "america's got talent" private plane flying from chicago to los angeles to find your naked breasts in all their glory right in my face. >> yes. >> being photographed by nick cannon and howie mandel. not the way i like to wake up. >> well, i thought it was a nice way to wake you up and say put your seat belt on, piers, we're landing. but anyway, nick's still got the
9:30 pm
pictures, by the way. >> i know he does. >> anyway, i had, you know, those fun bags as ozzie calls them, put in, and one of them had leaked very badly so my breasts were odd-sized. i got the cancer gene and i thought this is ridiculous. so i went in and they just took everything away. >> what does it -- to be a woman going through that, for most women it would be like the ultimate nightmare. i read this interview you gave, the first i heard about it was hello magazine dropped and there's this amazing interview. i was really struck by even someone as tough as you waking up the next day and you've had this operation which every woman would dread. how did you feel? >> relieved. >> really. >> yeah, i did. i fell really relieved.
9:31 pm
i felt no more squishing in that mammogram because they hurt, especially with the fun bags. so it was like just relieved. that's the way i felt. and i did it the way i did it because i didn't want to worry friends and family. i just didn't -- i didn't want a big to-do about it. >> i will put the other side to this. 90% of women who have the double mastectomy because they're worried about cancer recurring probably do so unnecessarily in the sense that statistically, actually it's unlikely. my reaction to that survey was well, it's fine if you're in the 90%, not so good if you're in the 10%. is that what went through your mind, even if there's 1% chance, you don't want to take it? >> no, because i never -- i never believe those surveys, anyway, because they're always wrong. they're always done by insurance companies that don't want to pay out to have it done. it's like, you know, they say
9:32 pm
oh, you only have a mammogram if you're over 40. well, i know so many girls in their 20s and 30s that have had breast cancer. they say the same with colon cancer. you only have the test if you're 50. well, you know what, i was going through treatment with a girl of 19 who died of it. so that's all rubbish. i was lucky enough to be able to make the decision and i was blessed and lucky, and you know, for me, the odds weren't really on my side, with age and you know, my history. so i'm like i don't want to roll the dice on this one. >> let's take a short break, sharon, come back and talk about jack. jack came on the show, very moving interview, actually, which i know you watched. let's talk about how he's doing next. just got married. >> he did. [ male announcer ] imagine facing the day with less chronic osteoarthritis pain.
9:33 pm

9:36 pm
the osbournes have had more than their share of ups and downs. back with me, the family matriarch, sharon osbourne.
9:37 pm
jack recently went through his own health scare which i know was very upsetting to you. you called me and you were in floods of tears a few weeks before it all came out. i knew because this is your boy, you are the mother hen. you're the lioness. this is one of your pride. let's see what jack said to me when he came on the show. what is the family attitude to this? how have your mom and dad been? >> you know, i think my mom and dad took the news far worse than i did. they were instantly i think in a very kind of parental kind of way thought is it our fault, what could we have done, you know, things like that. and really, they have a tendency to do that a lot about everything. >> your mom is an emotional woman. >> she is. >> for good and bad. see, there you go again. very difficult for you, that, wasn't it? i remember you were really beside yourself because you couldn't believe and you have been through so much, the osbournes, so well documented, all the stuff you've had to go through, your cancer, ozzie nearly dying and so on.
9:38 pm
now you're hit with jack getting this horrible disease in his 20s. did you fear the worst when you first heard? because you know enough about the disease to make any kind of considered opinion. >> i was hit badly because of jack's age and because jk, when he became clean and sober, it's ten years ago now, he turned to climbing mountains, jumping out of helicopters, bungee jumping, doing all the most outrageous things and he lived for that. it made him feel great. it set him goals in life that he would achieve. and the thought of him not being able to live the life that he wanted to was devastating to me at 26. and then you think maybe i did something when i was pregnant because nobody knows how you get it. nobody knows. so you know, i kept going over everything with myself and
9:39 pm
doubting myself and it's an awful thing. >> he had a little baby and he also got married in hawaii on october 7th. there's some lovely pictures from the wedding here. looked an amazing event. >> it was lovely. i cried for two days. that's all i did. look at me. i'm crying there. there's little pearl. i'm crying there. that's all i did. >> he's a lovely guy, jack. >> look at me. >> i know. you never stop booing the whole time, did you? >> pathetic. >> ozzie looks almost genteel these days. what happened to the wild man? smart, hair slicked back. >> didn't he look lovely? >> he's not trying to bite the baby, is he? >> she's trying to bite him. >> that must have been a very special day, after all you have been through with jack, to be able to be there on his wedding day. >> all that he had been through that year was amazing and it was just a time, you know, you say
9:40 pm
your wedding is the most important day and to the day i die, i only have amazing feelings and thoughts of that day. >> let's turn to perhaps not such good thoughts. america's got talent. so i left to come here and do this show and thought leaving it in good hands, and it all went to hell in a hand cart. >> what happened? what happened? >> they were clearly missing me, you clearly missing me. >> excuse me, piers, when you were there, we debuted at 16 1/2 million. you leave, we're at 10. >> what went wrong? >> i do not know. i do not know. i think that i didn't see the point of moving to new york. i didn't see what that does. i don't think a viewer at home that watches that show goes they really don't care whether it's filmed in philadelphia or los angeles or new york. what does it matter to them? they are at home watching the tv. >> it's moved because of how it's done because he does a radio show there.
9:41 pm
i got the feeling watching her, who i absolutely love, an amazing talent, but i just got the feeling it was a bit uncomfortable not being able to be the real howard stern because of the nature of a family show like "america's got talent." did you feel that? >> i thought he handled himself really well because we know him as the howard stern of radio and he's a big old softy. he's a big old softy. in commercial breaks, i would ask him all filthy dirty sexual questions and he would look at me and go why are you talking to me like this. because this is what you do to me when i'm on your radio show. so i would ask him all these awful sexual questions. he's fabulous. i don't know, i don't know whether we all did have that chemistry that was broken and so the show went. >> you had a big falling-out with nbc, mainly because jack was going to do some shows with them, then they pulled the plug and you felt strongly about that.
9:42 pm
lot of speculation about it. what was the truth? >> they did offer jack the job. why would he be in hand of a contract, the contract wasn't signed, but also, you know that you go and do a job and you sign the contract halfway through. i worked for this year for nbc for two months without signing a contract. that comes after. he was in hand of a contract. two days before he was due to start, they called and said it was too much of a responsibility, jack was too much, so no. but the thing was, i can understand what they were saying. it was the way that they did it. it was just the way they did it. and then they offered him well, what do you want, money, we'll pay you. no, he doesn't want money. he wants his dignity, he wants his pride. he could do this. but then as it happens, the way the show turned out, it had a curse on it. the show did terrible, people didn't like it, it was so, you know -- >> karma. >> you know, the karma truck was
9:43 pm
parked outside nbc that week. had nothing to do with me. >> you and simon cowell have had a love/hate relationship over the years but there are some rumors you may go back perhaps to one of his shows, x factor. >> you know what he's like? he's such a tart. he's like a big brother. you love your brother, but sometimes you don't like him very much, do you. so we're like this at each other. we take jabs at each other all the time. but i tell you something, like you, whenever you're in trouble, simon is right there, as you are. so i can't say a bad thing about him. >> which of the other talent shows do you watch? do you like any of them? >> i watch them all. i love to see what's going on because i'm addicted to tv. >> who is the worst judge on television at the moment? >> oh, dear. oh, that's awful. >> i prefer that to the best one. the best one's an american question. the british question is who's the worst. >> oh, dear.
9:44 pm
probably, i know he's going to kill me and he's the head of ozzie's record company, and i shouldn't say this, but probably l.a. reed. i think he's boring. >> you just ruined ozzie's record deal. >> i know, but he's doing -- it's like l.a., get back to the bloody record company and sell some records and stop being a silly judge. that's all i have to say. i mean, he's got all the credibility, everything, but stop trying to be mr. show biz and get back to run sony. really. >> we haven't talked about the talk. the talk is terrific and you are terrific on it every weekday. am i allowed back soon? >> i would love you to come back. >> i'm available. >> when are you in new york next? >> next week. >> oh, good. well then, you can come on our show. we're in new york. >> excellent. i shall see you in the big apple. >> i love you. would you like another picture? >> do you know what, i just had my tea. >> okay. forget it. >> sharon, lovely to see you. >> i love you, piers.

9:49 pm
robert zemeckis is an oscar winner and a man behind some of hollywood's biggest hits. he may be in line for another award for his movie "flight" starring denzel washington. we will come to why you're my favorite director in a moment. first let's come to "flight." it's a thrilling movie starring one of the great actors of this generation, denzel washington. the reason it's so thrilling, it contains just this incredible plane crash scene, the likes of which no one has ever seen on the big screen before. let's take a little look and discuss this afterwards. >> speed brake. >> speed brake. >> margaret, now!
9:50 pm
>> it goes on and on, like 20 minutes long the plane crash scene and it is thrilling cinema. was it that, was it the concept of being able to create this incredible scene that really attracted you to the movie? >> well, actually, you know, having this plane crash in the movie was a detriment to my possible decision because i had done a plane crash in "castaway" with tom hanks. my representatives and my partners were thinking, you're going to do another plane crash. but what really attracted me to the piece was denzel's character. such a brilliantly written screenplay and great character that to not do the plane crash just because i'd done another one would have been not a very smart thing to do. so the challenge was to do the plane crash even better than in the last film. >> and the theme of the movie is very much around denzel's character who is a hero pilot but it turns out he has an addiction, substance problem. makes it a very complex, quite unpredictable movie right to the end.
9:51 pm
you're not quite sure how this is all going to play out. you need an actor of his kind of brilliance, don't you? >> absolutely. >> tell me about work with denzel washington. >> you need an actor who obviously is a magnificent actor. denzel is one of the best that has ever lived. and you need someone who has got charm, gravitas, a certain amount of swagger and denzel brought all that to the part. so, you know, what he did so brilliantly in the movie is he keeps the audience off balance. they aren't quite sure where they are falling off in the sort of morality of his situation. >> does he deserve an oscar, do you think? >> oh, absolutely. >> you would say that. >> i would say that, but i'm saying that but it's such a brilliant performance. i was -- i mean, every day when i was standing behind the camera watching him work, his choices were just astounding. >> you are 61 years old, looking very good, if you don't mind me saying, robert. you directed 16 movies that have grossed nearly $4 billion worldwide. do you ever stop and think about
9:52 pm
that? >> you know, i don't think about it that often. you know, i guess it's because i -- you know, i just -- i never have made a movie thinking about the money. i've only ever made a movie thinking about, you know, can i make this a good movie. and the money has come with, you know, as frosting on the cake, so to speak. >> you said that -- a great quote. i'm really tired of making these huge over100 million movies where they literally mean life and death for a studio. everyone is hysterical. this was quite a relatively lower budget movie. >> this is the lowest budget movie in today's dollars that i made since i made by second film "used cars." >> about $30 million? >> $31 million. >> and it's grossed what so far? >> about $77 million, $78 million. >> how do you quantify in the modern game of movies a real success? >> for me, my -- i have done this my entire career. if the film makes $1 profit, i'm
9:53 pm
happy because then the film exists and nobody got hurt and that's my job. but that's the way i've always looked at it. >> who is, to you, a great actor or actress, other than denzel? what does it take to be really top draw? >> well, i've worked with a lot of great actors. i've worked with tom hanks three times. he's as great as they get. i've worked with meryl streep, ray winstone. i mean, i've been very fortunate in my career, i've worked with tremendous, tremendous actors. i think, you know, what it takes to be a great actor is the ability to just understand whatever that -- wherever that magical thing that they are able to do to know what the character is feeling and then to be able to evoke that somehow through what it is that they do. >> now there is another option, of course, for best actor at the oscars. i want to play you a little clip to show the viewers what i mean
9:54 pm
because it's going to be neck and neck with denzel. >> a real american hero. is that your reading of it? yep, absolutely. denzel, i hear is pretty worried about this. >> i tell you. >> the phrase scene stealer has been used. >> when we were shooting that scene he's saying, i don't know. i don't know if i like this guy in the scene with me here. he's going to steal all my thunder. >> it's a terrific film. it's great to play a tiny part in it. >> pleasure to have you. >> you're going to be having a lot of fun at the oscars. >> great to see you. we'll be right back. dache. trust me, this is new bayer migraine. [ male announcer ] it's the power of aspirin plus more in a triple action formula to relieve your tough migraines. new bayer migraine formula. cool, you found it. wow. nice place. yeah.

A SON hailed a hero for tackling two teenage burglars, stabbing one of them to death, was charged with murder yesterday.
Omari Roberts, 23, was widely praised after tackling Tyler Juett, 17, and a 14-year-old accomplice when he caught them breaking into his mother's home.
He chased the 14-year-old off, then returned to the house to find Juett still there. They scuffled and Juett suffered a six-inch stab wound that severed vital arteries.
Juett was rushed to hospital but later died from his injuries.
Websites which were set up in his memory were swamped with messages backing the right of householders to protect their property.
But yesterday Roberts appeared in court accused of murdering Juett and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Yesterday I think my neighbor may have seen me taking pictures and I was embarrassed. That and the fact that it was below 20 degrees outside - I'm staying inside for awhile! Love your belt!ReplyDelete

I lovelove this belt!! So you got caught so now you're hiding inside to take pics? haha :) You have a good inside spot, I'm jealous! I have never been asked what I'm doing, but I have a planned out excuse: "I'm taking a self portrait for a photography class I'm taking at college".. even though I'm 27 I would still pretend to be in college. :) -Rachel (ftb)ReplyDelete

Love the black and the belt. Incidentally, I'm wearing all black today. You can't go wrong with black. Question? Are you wearing a belt with your jeans also. I hardly belt a top when wearing jeans because I already have a belt on with my jeans. Just wonderingReplyDelete

What the heck?! Caught two days in a row??ReplyDelete
The black is fabulous -- and the leopard belt is perfect.
It cracks me up that he was so awkward about it. I get caught all the time and I don't even explain, I just look at them like, "Yeah, what? I'm taking photos. So what?" As for this outfit, I don't have any complaints. It looks lovely to me!ReplyDelete
I'm not wearing a belt with my jeans--I try not to buy pants that require me to wear belts.ReplyDelete
Yes, I'm a whimp, okay? Hahaha. I took indoor pics yesterday and the day before that too...not sure what I'll do tomorrow yet. Indoor is just easier! And I think the lighting is better anyway. Plus, it was raining yesterday. But I feel like my sense of camaraderie with outdoor self-photo bloggers diminishing...hahaReplyDelete

You look effortlessly chic! Love the nude pumps paired with the black and the leopard print belt is the perfect finisher. Too cute!ReplyDelete
very chic! perfect way to wear black during the day.ReplyDelete
Darling pictures. I know how it feels to get "caught" taking pictures. So embarrassing!ReplyDelete
I used to wear a lot of black back in HS, but have since stopped because I didn't want people to associate me with those day, because I'm a changed woman, I swear. No more grungy, loose clothes. But recently I've been incorporating black back into my wardrobe and am so glad I re-discovered it. It's so freaking chic! And it makes a statement, but in a subtle way. I absolutely, positively love your top with the leopard belt!ReplyDelete
Friend, I am with you. I LOVE black...wearing it right now actually. haha! It's a classic fall back color, especially when paired with earrings like the ones you're wearing. So cute!ReplyDelete
YES YES YES! This could be my fav outfit you have ever posted :)ReplyDelete

Ask Health Experts and Get Answers to Your Health Question ASAP
- The pain orginally, 1 year ago, was in both the heel and calf, and now primarily in the calf. Each time i reinjure, it feels like a rubberband has snapped.
- Physical therapy, No, was only authorized 6 sessions
- Diabetic, no
- Blood tests, not in the past 2 years
I am at the point where i am frustrated, because every time i try to exercise, i reinjure the same calf, even after stretching for 30 minutes. I am now about 30 lbs over my ideal weight of 135 (I am 5'3), and my BMI has now reached 31.1. I did well for about 2 months, where I walked 3-5 times a week, with no injury. I have even purchased new running shoes to ensure i have proper support. My increasing age, I'm certain, is not helping matters. I was able to stay in shape with softball, volleyball, racquetball and jogging, and for the past year, i have attempted only to have my calf snap like a rubber band.
I play softball with a doctor, and he has stated that each time the muscle tries to repair, a calcium surrounds the muscle, and i believe he says that it is snapping each time i try to use that muscle. I still feel i have many years left to play sports and want to desperately to ensure heart health and weight satisfaction.

Stephanie Layne-Murphy
The Big Bear community is mourning the profound loss of one of its most spirited and brightest residents. Stephanie Layne-Murphy gracefully lost her battle with cancer on Jan. 26, 2012. Stephanie was a respected and admired real estate professional. She brought commitment and excellence, wit and humor to everything she did. Stephanie embodied all that we love about Big Bear. She was sunshine, fitness and LIFE. Also a deeply involved Mom, she passed her love of fitness and healthy, active lifestyle on to her boys Dillon, 16 and Sean, 14. The most important thing in Stephanie's life was her family. Shortly before she died, in an email to colleagues she wrote, "I am pushing through all of this as it is all I know how to do. Mark, Dillon and Sean are 3 of the best reasons I know of to fight for my life, however long that may be." Stephanie's vibrant inner beauty far exceeded her considerable outer beauty as she cared very much for those she loved. She valued her friends enough to say the things they didn't always want to hear but needed to. To know Stephanie a little was a blessing, to know her a lot was a blessing and an honor. Stephanie was a fresh breeze in a sometimes tense and stressful world. There are no words to describe how deeply she will be missed.

Notts County manager Keith Curle praised a special performance after his side edged an incredible encounter at Wycombe 4-3 that not only kept their play-off hopes alive but also relegated their opponents.
The Magpies came from behind three times before Alan Judge struck a spectacular winner in the third minute of stoppage time, but it meant a return to League Two after just one season for the defeated Chairboys.
Curle said: "Obviously I'm feeling elation right now, but I had to go through disappointment, anger, frustration, joy, happiness and disbelief - good and bad. I said a couple of weeks ago that if we wanted to get promoted that we had to get something special out of that changing room and we got more than that."
He added: "It was probably not so much about the performance, but the result and it was frustrating at times because we had to chase the game so much.
"But sometimes you learn a lot from being behind and we've seen the players' reactions and their endeavour in their play which is pleasing.
"But sometimes you put yourselves on the front foot putting teams under pressure and our desire to put ourselves in the box to get on the end of things was fantastic, though I've never been involved in a game like that as a coach or manager before!"
Wycombe manager Gary Waddock blamed the number of goals his side have conceded this season as the main reason for their relegation. He said: "I think that performance just summed the season up, where we've competed against a good side which we've done throughout the season.
"But we've conceded far too many goals and that has meant that we've not been able to pick up the points total that we've needed.
"We've scored goals, but as a group we've conceded far too many and we've been in positions in games where we've got ourselves in front and teams have been able to peg us back.
"We've not been able to see things out in games like this and that performance sums up our season. The game's never over until it's over and they took a chance where they were throwing bodies forward."

First post on DPR, and first pics with V1

Thanks for the very kind comments all!
The bird pics, mainly the owls, are only very slight crops, mainly for composition/framing, but nothing major.
I've found the 55-300 and 70-300 to be pretty well matched in image quality terms, and the VR is very effective on both. The 70-300 has much snappier focus though, and far less time lost whilst the lens motors move through the travel if focus is missed for whatever reason. .
The 55-300 is marginally smaller and lighter to carry, but there isn't much in it and the focus benefit is worth the slight extra bulk.
You are welcome, well deserved, the shots turned out very well In composition, subject matter, lighting and sharpness. The focal length multiplication of the CX sensor really come in handy when you the right lenses. I'll need to try my 300 mm F4 AF-S, but it didn't seem very sharp the few time I tried it, the 70-300 VR appeared much sharper.
Please post more of your pictures sometime!

Frustrated by long delays in the Rouzan branch library project, East Baton Rouge Library Board of Control members heard Thursday of a revised deal with developer Tommy Spinosa that sets Feb. 15 as a deadline for measurable progress in building required infrastructure at the site.
The deal, an amendment to the 2010 cooperative endeavor agreement between Spinosa's company, 2590 Associates LLC and the city-parish, says Spinosa must have either installed or posted a bond ensuring the construction of streets, sidewalks and a parking lot at the Perkins Road site.
If there is no bond, then the Library Board would have the option of withdrawing from the project altogether.
Spinosa has signed the amendment, which will now be presented by the Parish Attorney's Office to Mayor-President Kip Holden for final approval. The move required no action by the Library Board, but board member Travis Woodard said he wanted the amendment presented to the full board and discussed before it went to the mayor.
Woodard, who has been one of the driving forces in negotiating the new provisions with 2590 Associates, had said last monththat he was "extremely frustrated" with the pace of the project. He said Thursday that the amendment was a good first step.
"It provides some clarity and a finite endgame within a reasonably short time frame," Woodard said. "It's going to require positive action on the part of the developer."
In the amendment, Spinosa will have to construct, or have posted a bond to construct, the three elements of infrastructure. Other parts, such as sewer and utilities, are served by a strip of land owned by the library that stretches to Perkins Road, Woodard said.
The agreement also has several other provisions that ensure that the property is properly defined, including that a porch and stairway will be constructed at the front of the library and will be available for public and private events. It also provides for the protection of trees on the tract.
Spinosa, who attended the meeting, said the agreement also served to assure him that the Library Board was serious about the project.
"They have to put up the library if I put up that bond," he said. "We needed to ensure this library is going to be built."
He blamed delays on slowdowns in the economy, and insisted the project was going ahead as planned.
Spinosa told the Library Board in October that delays in getting a permit from the state Department of Transportation and Development had caused delays. He received the permit during the summer, he said.
If a construction bond has not been posted by Feb. 15, Woodard said, the library board should withdraw.
"I will make the motion at our February meeting to take whatever action is necessary," Woodard said.
Of two other board members questioned Thursday, one said he would support withdrawing if Spinosa did not meet the deadline and the other said it would have to be seriously considered.
"It's been frustrating because there has been a lack of urgency and direction," said Jason Jacob. "There has been enough time allotted to Mr. Spinosa."
Board president Kizzy Payton said she wasn't willing to say the Library Board should get out of the project in February.
"We have the ability to hold Mr. Spinosa and 2590 (Associates) accountable," she said. "The citizens want to know when this project is going to happen."
Thursday's agenda item was informational only; no vote was required by the library board. According to the agreement, extensions can be granted by the city-parish without the library board's consent. There is no limit to the number of extensions that can be sought.

Without regret, we all should move forward. There are always things to strive for, there are always new mountains to climb. Our journeys should be light, taking nothing with us but memories and life experiences. Our adventure should be exciting, life means nothing without the thrill of the unknown. We are what we are today because of the experiences of yesterday. Good or bad it is those sequences of events that have molded us.
When I was a kid I wore this LA Kings Snapback and I got into fights, it is a part of what shaped me. I tried to spray paint and realized it just wasn't my thing. The love for the art made me into a collector. I carried a boombox constantly. That developed into a 25 foot ghetto blaster wall. I tried to skateboard and broke just about every board I stepped on! I skied with vintage sunglasses which aided me to develop the company I have today.
It wasn't the successes of the past, it was the experiences that made me. When we forget who and what we are, we will never become. It is the passion for ones history that will ultimately dictate the present. The past will always stay behind us, but the experiences are what made us what we are today.
It's Tuesday and some call me a hoarder, but I like to think of myself as a fucking historian. Turn downfalls into positives, use negatives to create change. Just when you think you are counted out, just remember, you are the only one counting. Life is a numbers game, if something doesn't stick, something else will. This endless journey is what we call life. It is time to start living.
Signed, Corey Shapiro


text: So I was just reading a comment here, and something struck me. People often say that a higher compression ratio will aid in spooling a turbo quicker. However I don't think this is the case at all. Increasing the CR (comp ratio) increases thermal efficiency, thus reducing waste heat produced. Turbos depend on hot gases to spool, so one would think that there would be less heat available to the turbo. Am I right?

MTF Testing in Practice
Unfortunately, a lens cannot be characterized by a single MTF curve. The image quality will vary with position in the field, and hence, so will the MTF. Image quality tends to be best at the center of the field, and then decreases towards the edges of the field of view. A test bench must therefore allow the test target to be presented at different field positions, and this can be achieved either by placing the lens and image scanner on a swinging arm assembly, or by using a beam steering mirror to reflect the collimated beam into the lens at different angles. The whole measurement procedure can be automated, collecting sets of MTF curves from several different field points, before the overall quality of the lens can be assessed, and a pass/fail decision can be made.
A good lens will have a high MTF curve — that is, it will stay higher for longer. A typical specification might say that the MTF must be at least 70% at 10 c/mm and 40% at 20 c/mm, for example. Consistency over the field of view, however, is very important. There will typically be one specification for the center of the field, another for the mid-field position, and a third for the edge-of-field position. The specification tends to become more lenient as the distance from the center of the field increases.
Other Test Bench Measurements
The bench can measure the position of the image very accurately for a range of different field angles, and this enables the effective focal length and distortion to be accurately determined. The bench measures MTF as a function of focus position at different field positions, too, providing information on the depth-offield and field curvature of the lens. The total energy in the image can also be measured as a function of the field angle and thus provide a measurement of relative illumination from the center to the edge of field.
Using a suitable detector it is possible to measure the "ensquared energy," or the fraction of the energy from a point object which falls into a square aperture, expressed as a percentage of the total energy in the image. Ensquared energy is an alternative to MTF as a measure of image quality, and is sometimes preferred since it can tell the designer how much energy from a single point will fall onto a pixel of a detector compared with the amount that falls onto neighboring pixels.
Lastly, the bench can be used to measure the displacement of the on-axis image from the true mechanical axis of the lens mount, and thus provide a measure of the Boresight Error. This quantity measures how well the mechanical and optical axes of the imager are aligned, an important measurement when trying to overlay the images from a thermal camera and a visible camera, which are mounted side by side.
Reasons for MTF Testing
Manufactured lenses often do not behave exactly as the designer intended. The curvatures of the surfaces, the centration of the individual elements, and the distances between them, will all be subject to the inevitable variations that arise in manufacture. There may also be problems arising from flaws in the optical materials used. Along with military and space applications, thermal imagers are now being designed for luxury cars, and since their use may be safety-related, it is important to guarantee a certain minimum performance. For critical applications it is therefore essential to check that a lens performs to a minimum set of specifications before it can be used in practice.

7th page i called it first post declaring on 7th page!!!!!!!!!!
cheese a little question how does this work! do u spawn the drop pod on the ground so that u have to use the physgun and crawl in OR does it spawn and teleports itself whit u inside in the air?
There is a pod you can spawn on the ground, but I can't get it to work(can't touch it with physgun). There is also a pod launcher that spawns pods, and you can move that with the physgun.
No that is not mine and I am not trying to add. I am showing you guys the ODST Player model a guys is working on. =D
xxXAcePilotXxx you are late. Halo 3 2007 odst and Halo 3 ODST odst have been ripped to GMod.
medrop canceled his model.
Ah. That makes sense now.
sadly, I wont be able to download this if you release it on garrysmod.org. please release this on filefront, because garry will make garrysmod.org paid downloads. He is not making it an April Fools joke.
Yes it is an April Fools joke, derr.
probably would have posted an april fools update if it werent real.
Check the official Gmod twitter. Haw
I want to beta test, cause explosives, and being high are what i do.
(not smoke weed drugs high i mean involving falling) (from high up)
This is excellent. I am working on Mombasa Streets right now from Halo 3: ODST... Yes it is the whole map. If anyone knows how to make a playermodel, please tell me. Mapping is the only thing I am decent at.
I also plan to make weapon models and vehicles from the game, but not until the map is finished. Which I plan to have done by early January 2011...
Now I know that is a long time, because I have school and I am also working on a full size Master Chief Suit.
thlaughincheese whats the per cent status of the mod?
http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=898611 they are remaking new mombasa. they have ripped models and textures and are making the map. and i know how to make a player model.
never saw that!
Cheese, you got some great progress.
For the lazies, like myself:
0% llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll..... 100%
Anyway, good update, although i would link about either resizing or moving the fuel read out to a smaller size.
Ummmmmmmmmm I would just edit the HUD maybe... a lot. TO BIG AND COLORFUL :3:
Fuel letters too small. Everything else is just too colorful, and the top left could be reduced in size a little, but the rest is okay.
I approve of post above. :bravo:
The HUD should be more ODST-like, however that would be.
SO wheres this at? Whats still to be done?
did you say a h3 odst model was being made for it? and if so will it have loads of dynamic displays like in odst?

The Fault in Our Stars is finally out, and if you've had a chance to see the movie, we hope you loved it as much as we did. The sad, beautiful story translates well to the big screen, and if there's one thing the movie enhances, it's the amount of tears you cry in the theater. There are so many scenes that brought out sobs, with so many different emotions, so let's all admit how good of a cry it is and start commiserating about which scenes made us cry the most. This is a safe place.

Chapatick Withdrawal - Breaking the Habit
As all of you must have done, at one time or another, was to break the chapstick cycle.
For people that don't get this, I know that this seems weird, but your lips do produce their own moisture, and when you supplement the moisture with chapstick, your lips do not continue to produce this moisture.
I tried to go without chapstick for ONE day -- couldn't do it. I thought I was crazy - but I'm not.
After speaking to a doctor on this - he says to really break this cycle, you have to keep from using ANYTHING on the lips for 2 weeks in order for the moisture balance to become restored.
Not for me! No Way!!! If I don't use chapstick, it feels like my lips will actually tear apart - ouch!
i use chapstick but always have to have something in the winter.
Wow, now I know what's wrong with my lips! I was kind of wondering if something like this could happen. I don't think I'm ever going to break the cycle.
I totally understand. I am addicted to Blistex and American Girl and Burts Bee's and Softlips chapstick. My overall favourites are the Burst Bee's and the softlips. i put on the softlips for extra mosture and then the Burts bees for colour and the peppermint oil feel. IM IN LOVE WITH THEM
