“Major League Baseball knew that more home runs equaled more fans,” said Malignaggi. “Boxing knows Manny Pacquiao destroying bigger guys is a phenomenon. But it is too good to be true, like all those home runs were.
“So it is all covered up and it won’t be addressed.”

Nightline CLOSING ARGUMENT Obama -- hawkish on Afghanistan -- accepts Nobel Peace Prize. A contradiction that he can reconcile? http://bit.ly/8g17CH No man's a jester playing Shakespeare Round your throne room floor While the juggler's act is danced upon The crown that you once wore The king is dead, the king is dead The king is dead, the king is dead Long live the king
Elton John The King Must Die
I don't know if its right or wrong (Additional troops) . What I do know is that it's different from what Obama promised when he won the slot to represent the Democrats and it's different from what he promised in his presidential campaign in 2008.
It was Jeffrey that reminded me that his stance on the Iraq War was what differentiated him with Hillary Clinton. Yes I know this war is a bit different. But make no mistake about it, it's Obama's war now. Let me elaborate on that. One thing we human beings of all cultures should know by now and do not is campaigning is really self evaluation. It's all about projecting what is there and making illusions of what is not there or hiding what is there. If we all live by a simple rule don't tell me what you are going to do but show me what you have done, Obama would have never been elected. So if you read the dilemma in the Nightline story It's easy to say he is being hypocritical. For me, he just has a better viewpoint of what he once criticized. You see, Obama seduced voters by his charm and his rhetoric and not by his deeds. Instead of accounts of past deeds. He has had no history of getting anything done. What is of course beautiful is that history of none achievement was intact when the Nobel Peace Prize was designated to him. What many do not realize is that "Nominations for the prize had to be postmarked by February 1 "

as a musical. I know what you are thinking how ridiculous. But one thing I learned 12 years ago is that with the right talent, anything can be turned into a Broadway musical. I was so charmed to go to New York in the first place. But while we were there in May of 1997 saw three musicals: Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Forum with Whoppi Goldberg and Nathan Lane, a live action Lion King and Titanic the Musical.
There were some of us in the group that cracked jokes about the chorus being "we're drowning". Call me weird ( and I know y'all do anyway) but I enjoyed Titanic. And I was not the only one. I remember the number before they set off from port and the optimism and excitement of the maiden voyage and felt the tragedy. I wonder why I never hunted the soundtrack for it. If you look at the date this was half a year before the movie of the same name came out.
I also got a kick that one of the cast members answered the question whatever happened to Steve Rhodes from Married with Children. 
He played J. Bruce Ismay.
This is what J.Bruce looked like in the movie you all probably saw.
Yes I was a big MWC fan back in the late 80s.
My only point here is that something may seem ridiculous on paper but it can turn out quite good. Or the other moral is I just wanted to talk about musicals, New York City and Married with Children. Not necessarily in that order.

The Way of the Goose: 5 Leadership Lessonsby Ron Pereira on April 21st, 2009.
We humans can learn a lot from geese. Yes, that’s right, geese.
In fact, in 1991 Angeles Arrien gave a speech called “Lessons from Geese” that was largely based on the work of Milton Olson.
What follows is my take on the story.
Lesson 1: Fly Together
It’s truly a marvelous site to see a group of geese flying together in perfect V formation. Research has shown that as each goose flaps its wings an intense uplift is created for the birds behind them. Further studies state that this “teamwork” adds 71% more flying range compared to a goose flying on its own.
Moral of the Story: Partnerships and teamwork rule the day. The days of the Lone Ranger are long gone (bad example, as even the Long Ranger had Tonto but you know what I mean). If you surround yourself with excellent people you’re far more likely to succeed than if you attempt to go at it alone.
Lesson 2: Stay in formation
If you’ve ever watched geese fly, you’ve likely seen one fall out of formation. And when this happens the fallen away goose begins to struggle mightily until it manages to fight its way back into formation.
Moral of the Story: Once you’ve established a good team stay together and work together. Sure, times will get tough and you may become annoyed with one another from time to time… but synergy cannot be created by a single person working in isolation.
Lesson 3: Rotate
While flying in V formation the lead goose eventually tires and rotates to the back of the pack to re-charge their battery while another goose takes its place at the front.
Moral of Story: It’s important to share the load amongst team members. It’s also important to ensure that all workers are cross trained and able to perform multiple tasks. As an aside, we recently added a skill matrix module to the Gemba Academy School of Lean that deals with this very situation.
Lesson 4: Honk
While it’s not always possible to hear from the ground, geese are a noisy bunch when flying in V formation. There are several theories of why this is. One theory is the geese honk to encourage each other… while another theory hypothesizes the honking is used to communicate where each goose is. You know, hurry up pal (honk, honk) I’m right on your feathers.
Moral of the Story: No matter the reason for goose honking, it goes without saying that we should always communicate with one another offering encouragement as needed. We should also have ways to communicate when something is not right. This can be likened to the way lean companies “pull the andon cord” when a problem arises.
Lesson 5: Leave no Goose Behind
Whenever a goose becomes unable to fly (becomes sick, gets a bullet in the belly, etc.) two other geese fall out of formation and stay with their fallen comrade until the impaired goose is able to fly or dies.
Moral of the Story: The best teams I’ve ever been on were made of people who genuinely cared for each other and would always help each other out no matter the situation. It seems geese figured this out a long time ago.
Any others?
Do you agree with these lessons? If you are an expert in geese please feel free to share other examples or lessons we can learn from our feathered friends.
1. We achieve more together: geese always fly in formation. By flying in a V formation a flock has 71% greater range than if a bird flew solo.
2. Stay in formation: whenever a goose falls out of formation, if feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone, and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird in front.
3. Choose the right leader for the circumstances: when the lead goose gets tired it rotates back into formation and another goose flies at the point position.
4. Stand by your friends and colleagues: when a goose becomes ill or wounded, two geese move out of formation and follow it down to protect it. When the goose recovers the trio fly in formation to rejoin the flock.
5. Provide encouragement: the geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.
1) Price for being Tiger, if this was Stuart Appleby crashing his car by himself into a tree no one would care not even Mrs. Appleby.
With great fame and great endorsement deals comes great scrutiny. TMZ and National Enquirer could care less about Rich Beem . Sorry but all this comes with the fame you worked for.
2) Electronic Arts better known as EA Sports Its in the game . New mode for Tiger Woods 2011.
In the game you can pick Elle Nordgren Woods as a woman with a golf club. You automatically can buy any accessory you want to outfit yourself instead of earning it by playing tournaments.
But most importantly you can only use your club on the windows of a Cadillac Escalade.
