Looks like we are getting there, finally – The book I am co-authoring with Anne Kennedy is on Amazon and the date is set. The book is published by Que Biz-Tech and is called "Global Search Engine Marketing: Getting Better International Search Engine Results". The description is as follows:
"For companies that operate internationally, English-only, U.S.-centric search programs leave far too many customers behind. Marketing through search engines to non-English-speaking customers outside North America has become essential, but it presents complex and unfamiliar challenges.
Now, for the first time, there's a complete and practical guide to succeeding with global search marketing. In Global Search Engine Marketing, two leading experts bring together proven solutions to all the issues marketers will encounter – from culture and communication to technology and law. The authors cover all this, and much more:
" Understanding key cultural and behavioral differences, including the surprising local differences in how people search " Crafting online marketing campaigns that reflect local cultures " Selecting the right search media in each market – including markets where Google doesn't dominate " Achieving higher rankings in search engines around the world " Organizing effective global pay-per-click search marketing campaigns " Optimizing online press releases and other content for global search media " Leveraging non-U.S. social media tools and platforms " Optimizing mobile sites and apps for worldwide audiences " Using web analytics to track key performance indicators (KPIs) in multilingual/multicultural campaigns – even if you don't speak the language"

NASHUA, N.H. (AP) � Nashua police say a 24-year-old man is in custody on charges stemming from an October burglary and assault in the New Hampshire city.
Police say Nathaniel Ferbert, of Nashua, was arrested Saturday on charges stemming from an Oct. 26 burglary in which an adult female told police she was assaulted by a subject known to her as Nate who kicked her door in, punched her and then knocked her to the floor.
The victim suffered minor injuries.
Investigators later developed Ferbert as a suspect.
He was arrested Saturday during a motor vehicle stop.
If convicted, Ferbert could be sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Photography events this week and next
Speaking of National Geographic, if you happen to be in the Bay Area next week, the Aurora Forum is presenting what looks to be an interesting panel discussion on documentary photography and democratic ideals. The panel includes photojournalist Chris Rainier, whom I was privileged to have assisted (a very small bit) in the launch of Cultures on the Edge.
And if you happen to be in LA this week or DC next, check out the film festival for All Roads, "a National Geographic initiative supporting films by and about indigenous groups and under-represented minority culture filmmakers."
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

The ThinkCure weekend is underway, with programming on Prime Ticket, KABC, KCAL, KLOS and in Stadium. For all the information, visit dodgers.com/thinkcure.

And of course, the Freeway Series starts at 7:10 p.m., with 1:10 games tomorrow and Sunday.
Hope you'll make the Dodgers and ThinkCure part of your weekend plans.

Thanks, Josh. Looking forward to this series. Hoping we can get lucky and sweep. Two out of three would be good for me, too! It's time to make a move if we are going to limb back into the race. Giants look like crap right now….Dbacks and Rockies not too bad but, I think we can get back in the race.
Hey Josh, keep an eye out for any "consulting" fees in excess of $100,000, ok?
Hey, I've also got some great public relations advice for your boss:
ThinkCure is one of those Frank's charities, isn't it? Enough said.
Hard to believe Josh is still huckstering it in view of what has been disclosed by no less an authority than the Attorney General of the state. Frank should be getting sued for fraud instead of conducting a weekend event for the sham.
Just heard Lee Hamilton quote an unnamed Fox source who says Fox will withdraw their TV offer if the owner sues MLB or files for bankruptcy.
Go Halos this weekend. Let's see those empty seats.
There may be a lot of Halo fans there, dodgereric. Then again, maybe they won't support Frank either.
Turn out the lights the party's over…
i have a bad feeling the attendance is going to be more this series with the Angels fans but I hope I'm wrong.
I hope you're right, Scott. But I haven't counted as much as one chicken yet.
Yeah, I hear ya since Frank is such a cockroach. I hope he doesn't totally burn down this great franchise on his way out.
Shad, I think you'll like Richards. He was Philly's captain. Schenn is a great prospect, but if he's lucky he'll be as good as Richards is now. Have a look at the Flyer's message board. They're all pissed off. I take that as a good sign.
By dodgereric on June 24, 2011 8:32 am
Which board the yahoo one?
I forgot Richards is only 26 years old and I guess I was overreacting on this one but his contract really scare me.
I just don't want to lose Schenn and Simmonds (fan favorite and at one time Dean refuse to put him in that Kovalchuk deal.)
Funny…and despicable…at the same time:
Finally, Frank McCourt is almost gone
Hurry up and leave Frank.
Who knows maybe the Halos Fans will be scared to come to Dodger Stadium….!
My son just got to meet one of his favorite players…Jamey Carrol…he was so excited. Too bad I was stuck at work and couldn't be there with him!
That is great that your son got to meet Jamey Carroll! I heard that there were lots of people there.
Give money to a charity run by boss and the former Mrs? Even I am not that stupid. Especially in light of all the money they've tried to steal from the charity, you have to be kidding Josh, right, this is a joke?
Gordon SS
Uribe 3B
Ethier RF
Kemp CF
Loney 1B
Thames LF
Navarro C
Carroll 2B
De La Rosa P
Thanks, STT.
Will it be another negative notch for the McCourts if the Think Cure drive suffers a significant decline in donations? There is the usual cool stuff up for auction.
Don't donate to the cause – Frank will just use your donation to try to make the payroll!!!!!!!!!!!!
What with all the fun with McCourt, I lose sight of what is happening on the field. We're getting a couple of pitchers back and Loney is coming around. Ethier, Kemp, and Carrol are solid and the others chip in a bit. The Gordon kid looks like a keeper.
Call me crazy, but this is still up for grabs. This could still turn into an interesting season for the right reasons. I can hope.
lol if those numbers are bad in LF stick Kemp over there to inflat them.
I still can't believe Riggleman step down.
I also found it strange that Riggleman would quit midseason just because management did not want to commit to him. I can understand Riggleman's issue but he agreed to the terms of the contract.
Grizzy, you might be crazy but anything is possible. That is the beauty of such a long season. It would be nice to focus on something other than ownership.
lol @ dback I don't think Kuroda want to go there.
Source: Davey Johnson to manage Nats
It's almost time for Dodger baseball. Let's have a good game boys and, win this one! GO, DODGERS, GO!!!!
Dang no ch 9 and no Vinny but I got those Angels announces on ch 13 and one of the reporting was interviewing Rich Thompson and Trent Oelten both from Australia.
RIP Peter Falk and Fred Steiner. I know they pass away yesterday.
Who is this guy Fred? I know Peter Falk.
Do your thing, Rubby Baby!
Yeah Dback nice win.
Let's go Rubby.
Wow that was too easy.
Boy, the Angels made a mess of that! Yay for us!
Good for us, bad for the Anaheim Angels NOT of Los Angeles. One of my students said that all year long last year.
( 😉 )
Just another OF for our outfield.
I mean OF's assists.
That's our boy…way to go Andre!
Look like our good friend Santana got a 2 runs double thanks a lot Ned. Yeah Kemp
And, there's our other boy….way to go Matt! our Dynamic Duo!!!!!
WTG MATT! There's the NL MVP! Reyes can take a hike!
I second that!
Oh gosh throw strike or maybe he's getting squeeze.
Ha, ha…Rockies beat the Yanks!
He's not going to least 4 innings.
Maybe just 2 to 3 innings.
Omg Navarro.
Great throw, Andre!!!!!
I'm not shock that Haren got that hit.
Oh oh that not good.
Thames got hurt!
Wow Carroll can't catch a break with getting runs in from 3rd with less than 2 outs.
Yoo-Hoo, Enchated & Jhall…..can't you come and and play?
Are pitchers love to hit except Lilly and Kuroda.
Carrol may hit for average & get on base, but he sure sucks driving in runs. . .
Maybe you won't have to worry about that much longer….Vinny mentioned that when Furcal comes back, he may play 2nd and keep Gordon at short.
Omg Navarro again.
WOW! The Halos with some serious cranial rectal inversion on the base paths tonight!
Good for us!
Gosh what are you swing at Uribe?
Woo-hoo…another hit for Dre!
Vin sure called it right. Dre loves to hit D-back pitchers, past & present.
Andre & Matt…the jab and the knock-out….Vinny
Since Thames is day-to-day, do you think they will bring Jerry back? Gwynn & the Aussie, not much pop!
All I know it won't be Robinson.
Welcome back pathetic risp with the bases loaded.
I know. Another wasted opportunity!
Carroll seem so good without runners on bases.
Oh gosh not again.
The infield littered with base runners…..Vinny 😉
Furcal need to show Gordon how to do one of those special Furcal bunt.
Urgh Mathis isn't no threat and he got walk twice.
lol how did you sign a guy for 3 years and traded him to another team? That seem like a waste for the Sharks to trade Setoguchi for Burns after signing that 3 yrs contract.
lol Mathis
Damn the Giants up 4-3.
CRAP! Not again!
Padres are killing the Braves 11 – 2 😉
Maybe Juan is due 😕
Yea, sure!
Quite the dud tonight.
Career vs D. Haren 43 14 3 1 0 4 0 10 0 0 .326 .326 .442 .767
Sigh Blake should've suck it up and started.
To bad Carroll wasn't a couple of inches taller.
grrrrrr Loney should've ate that.
Good grief…what a crappy game! Andre & Matt okay…the rest…yuck!
WTF? Talk about a FUBAR play from the get go!!!
The 3rd inning cost us dearly…. bases loaded…we should have scored a bunch!
To make things even worse…Giants pulled out their game and won!
Starting & relief piching no bueno!
Walking guys like Mathis he's still know for his defense.
lol 5/6 with risp thanks a lot Angels announces.
I think Gwynn is now Toweeney 😉
F*ck, Uribe!
Wow that was Uribe first error of the season so I guess he was due to make one.
lol and only took him 42 games to get it.
Going. .
Uribe strikes out swinging to end the game – classic!! LOL!!!
The Nationals save % is going to go done after blowing 3 of them but they did get the win.
lol even Pierre got an assist tonight.
Okay…the list paid attendance as: 43,640. Vinny didn't even give it….I wonder if they stopped announcing it because of the severe drop off. I know the crowd was larger than the previous series but, I'd say there weren't more than 25,000 there.
* they list
We are now 9 games out! Way to go. I have a suggestion for you Donnie…since Uribe really sucks and you have to play him DO NOT BAT HIM 2ND…move him to the 8th hole because he's not good enough to bat 9th. The pitcher has a better chance of turning it over to the top of the order than Juan does. Thank-you!
lol according to Donny suppose comment he said last month I think that why he had Carroll batting 8th. Does it really matter and I really think Donny doing this on purpose and try to get McCourt to sell the team and have Ned not trade away any more prospects
That was easy to predict. Our 23-game winning streak of lower attendance has been halted. Damned Angel fans. I doubt they've stopped giving attendance figures but you never know. Speaking of that…….
What's happened to "God Bless America"? I didn't see it tonight. I was watching on the DVR, forwarding past the commercials. I went back to look for it and if they sang it at the Stadium, they sure didn't show it on TV. Has the owner stopped it because it cuts into commercial time? Am I being paranoid?

I'm kind of floored. The Times printed my letter. The whole thing! I've never had one of the long ones make it without editing. There are some great ones there, especially from Jeff White and Mike Gamboa. Cudos!
Glad your letter made it!!! It was a fantastic one!!
I know Vin remarked that Navarro set a record by throwing out 4 runners, but I wonder what the record is for most runners thrown out by the whole team? The Angels had 6 (I think) and 2 more Dodgers were tossed out at the plate.
Cantlay a 19 years old shot a 60?
Eric did you see my post say around 12 hrs ago?
lol go figure Martin making history with AJ Burnett striking out 4 batters in one inning.
Not all lawyers are bad guys… This one is actually awesome:
Thanks to whoever set him up with the Stow family.
Out-friggin'-standing north! And the sooner the better!
Yeah shad. Simmonds was a favorite of mine too, and I was looking forward to seeing what Schenn would become. Some call him the best prospect in hockey. But to get you gotta give, and we got a good one. The Kings still have a lot of room under the cap to get a sniper winger. Let's hope they get one, and that someone wakes up Dustin Penner.
Thanks Junie, I picked up a copy of the Times this morning to save the issue only to see that my letter didn't make the print edition! LOL!! Man, newspapers are skinny these days! It's been a while since I grabbed one I guess.
"The figure was of the number of tickets sold, not of the actual number of fans in the stands. Still, the number was the lowest for a Freeway Series game at Dodger Stadium since 2001."
…and from the print edition, "Jonathon Broxton struck out the side for AAA Albuquerque on Thursday……but the average velocity of his fastball was 93 mph, down from 95 mph two days earlier". Probably not a good sign.
Also from print, "Frank McCourt has some Latino allies, but Congressional Hispanic Caucus says it will not stand with him in his battle with Bud Selig." ¡Hurra!
Good article. No prisoners.
I know your agreement to work for the Dodgers has some sort of confidentiality clause, but some time in the future, when this mess has been hashed out, you could consider a memoir about your days with the club. No doubt there is a bunch of info we never hear and it would make interesting reading some day.
Hell, I say we all meet in a bar!
I'll drink to that 😉
Eric, I will double check but I don't think your letter made it in the print addition of the Times this morning.
Eric, oops on me. I didn't see your earlier post about the letter. It was a good letter anyway.
Good idea, as long as they serve Pacifico. Or not.
Moving Furcal to 2nd sounds like a good idea. The Kid looks like the future, he's holding down the position, so let him play. Furcal may stay healthy for more than 5 minutes at second.
As far as free agent signings go, Furcal has been a mixed bag. By all indications, Raffy is a solid citizen, a good person, good teammate and when healthy, a decent all around player. As everyone knows, he has not been healthy enough and the Dodgers have suffered for it. Raffy has never been my ideal type of leadoff hitter but he has been the best alternative since he has been a Dodger. I felt going into this season that Furcal's ability to stay in the lineup would be a critical element in how well the Dodgers might do, not that I really expected him to be injury free. I still would like to see if Gordon can hit major league pitching but it sure does seem he has a lot of talent with the glove.
Todays lineup.
•Dee Gordon, SS
•Jamey Carroll, 2B
•Andre Ethier, RF
•Matt Kemp, CF
•James Loney, 1B
•Aaron Miles, 3B
•Trent Oeltjen, LF
•A.J. Ellis, C
•Hiroki Kuroda, P
Thanks, Jhall. LOVE YOUR GRAVATAR!!!!!
Thanks Trumom. I see you suffered thru an ugly turd of a game last night. Sure happy not to see Navarro, Thames, and Uribe in the lineup today.
It was awful. I could have endured a lot better if you and Enchanted were along for the ride 😉 The only good thing was Vinny trying to make it enjoyable.
LOL!! Vinny is certainly a bright light on a dismal horizon.
Tough loss last night. Enjoyed your letter Dad/Eric and glad it got printed on line. Thanks for the attendance status figures. Super article North. Sounds like that guy is gonna clean Frankys' clock.
Nobatro and Urweeney are a total waste. Both below the infamous Phew line. Loney has now moved into positive territory in VORP. He's actually contributing and is no longer a huge black hole in the lineup. Hope he can keep it going.
Kemp has the highest VORP in baseball.
Wow Bautista is 2nd now.
Love the Avitar Jhall!!!!
Thanks Nelly. I think the Dodgers are toast this season thanks to Frank and Furter. Hopefully, they well be gone soon and we can move on from this dark chapter in Dodger history. I don't think it matters whether we are buyers or sellers in July. We should be sellers. With Ned doing the dealing, either way, we will be screwed. It's looking like Frank is close to being gone and I'm sure a new owner will show Ned the door. Then we can look forward to rebuilding this once proud franchise.
We can only hope Jhall!!!
Kind of funny to see all the love for JP these days compared to the vitrium thrown his way on these pages while he wore Dodger blue. Love him or hate him, JP is the only free agent signing in recent memory who played up to his capabilities and past performance. He was pretty much the same player when he signed as when he left. He was no better but certainly no worse. He was overpaid but then again, so are many free agents. He was ready to play every day and seldom needed time off to nurse an injury. And coincidentally, the Dodgers have not done too well since he has been gone.
I'm confuse we let Miles bat 6th and the useless Carroll with driving in runners on bases bat 8th even though Carroll is batting 2nd when Uribe is out? I really want to see Ellis bat 6th.
I see SoJerkOff has abandoned the sinking ship. LOL!!!
Yeah Eric I didn't mind much of that Penner trade and losing Teubert (isn't much of a lost here), a 1st round draft pick and a conditonal 3rd round pick in 2012 but I surely hope he bounce back.
Jhall, suprised Soboroff lasted this long. This guy did come in with some impressive credentials so I do have to wonder why he would want to associate with Frank McCourt. Perhaps Soboroff knew full well with whom he was dealing and really wanted to do something to make a difference and if so, it must have been a shock to find out the next day MLB is taking over. How is that for a positive spin?
Even Soboroff couldn't put a positive spin on Frank in the LA community. I believe that's what he was brought in to do. But it was a couple of years too late.
lol really since when do fox advertise a game when both teams are 3rd and 4th places in there respectable division and not 9 GB?
Wow McLaren got ejected last night in his 1st game since Riggleman stepped down.
Uh, oh….we may be in trouble once again.
What happened to Kemp?
The umpire threw him out because he said something from the bench. This umpire really sucks for both teams.
He got thrown out by a sawed-off ump when he went in the dugout complaining about a check swing a few pitches previous to his strikeout. He was already in the dugout when the ump threw him out, so maybe "Blue" (or "D***head" as I've been calling him since the first inning) wanted to see himself in the papers.
An ump who has been calling inside pitches strikes that aren't grabbing any of the plate, by the way.
lol Chris Conrey must be a minor league ump.
oops it's Conroy
Thanks. Matt must talk to loud. Wasn't he ejected from a game not too long ago while he was walking away from the umpire?
GrrrRear…….SUCKS! When the hell is Donnie going to realize that?!
Kuo sucks too! This entire team, except Dre and Matt, sucks!
Paid Attendance: 41,108
Giatnts get 1 run on a bases loaded balk and they win. Unfreakingbelievable!!!
lol at that luck.
Wow, even the Angels high priced free agent who has done nothing all year comes up big against the Dodgers.
In addition to talentless, clueless and hapless, you can add heartless and souless to this sadsack bunch of losers. When this team gets a new owner, I'd replace EVERYONE and try and start over with some players, coaches and management that actually gave a shit.
Hey All….Can't wait for the day till Frank is out of town
Me too, Todd!
We can't wait any longer.
Haven't posted for awhile….Can't stand to watch anymore lol
I could not agree more Enchanted with your last post….Hi Tru
Hi…okay, let me know who you were before, please 😉
You all take care….I'll be sure to post when Frank is out as owner
Todd, as Tommy might say, I am sure we would all send a car to drive Frank to the airport.
To bad Loney is getting hot to.
lol the Pirates 3 games out of 1st place say what?
It's getting too boring to even watch this team anymore.
The manager is an asshole, and his coaching staff SUCKS.
I wish they televised ABQ instead – at least that might be a competitive game against another AAA team. Right now with the Dodgers we have to watch an AAA quality team matched against major league competition.
Another Dodger Blue Plate Special:
A shit sandwich on toast.
Can I get fries with that?
I thought the favorite was Shit-Kabobs 😉
Yes Tru….Dodgerzona 🙂
Let him walk to the airport lol
LMAO Wally
Good to see you Dodgerzona.
Honestly the only one i would keep is Logan White….I think that's it…Clean house otherwise
Logan White is the only one they should be kept and do we still have Kim Ng?
Oh n/m I must be slow she's working with Torre.
Even the Smurfs didn't shit blue this bad.
Oh well, there is always tomorrow. Should be interesting with Kershaw vs Weaver. I think I would keep Kershaw around for a while. Anyway, have a great rest of the day.
Holy hell Loney is batting .280+
Way to go James!!!!
Glad to see you back, Dodgerzona!
It's great to read you again Dodgerzona!!!
Hello Tru and Nelly and Jhall :)…..I never told you all i went to opening day and Apr 1,2….Had a good time….Just wanted to see Dodger Stadium…Might come next year but only when Frank is out on his ass which hopefully should be soon
You did mention you were going to Opening Day!!! Glad you had a good time. There is no place better to watch baseball, and it will be even better once Frank is gone!!!
Hopefully next thing we hear is Frank is giving up and Ned step's down

Thanks for the update, Dodgereric.
You're welcome tru. I neglected to mention we've just past the halfway point for home games.
Not surprised, are we? 😉
Wally mention that already.
Kyle Russell has had himself a nice time the last 3 days for our AA team in Chattanooga. From: http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20110531&content_id=19820710&vkey=news_t498&fext=.jsp&sid=t498
"Kyle Russell burned through three straight days of slugging against the Mudcats and Stars. On May 23, he went 4 for 4 with two doubles and two consecutive homeruns….. Going 3 for 4 on May 24, every hit was a double ….. May 25 …. He went 3 for 5 again, with two consecutive homeruns to right center field in the third and fifth innings and hit another RBI double in the eighth….. Russell earned 10 RBI, 8 runs, 6 doubles and 4 homeruns in 14 at-bats May 23-25."
Wow…nice! We're not burning anything up. Well, maybe the fans feel burned!
Jerry is doing a good job right now, too, Dodgereric.
The last ten games for Jerry Sands in AAA Albuquerque:
12-for-20, 4 HRs, 10 RBIs, .300/.391/.650/1.041
LOL….we were thinking the same 😉 We are so smart!
lol not a big surprise Sands was already killing it in Triple A before we called him up the 1st times.
His AAA teammate Trayvon Robinson: 17 knocks, .311/380/.573/.954 for the season.
So, why the hell don't they bring them up and, sit the tired old has-beens?!
Playing the kids would imply this franchise has some sort of plan for the future (or just plain future for that matter), which it does not, and never has had under Frank & Furter. My guess is that some of these kids will be gone at the trade deadline because Ned will trade them for some more worthless crap to save our season and to put some butts in the seats.
Of course, exactly the opposite would be true. I think if you played the kids and got rid of the PVLs it might give a few extra people reason to hope and come out to the park, but logic and baseball acumen have not only escaped this regime, its been missing altogether since day one.
At the risk of blasphemy, the only untouchables I'd have from this year's squad would be Kemp, Kersh, DeLaRosa and Gordon. Everyone else, including Dre I'd be trading for as many prospects as would be possible so that maybe in 2013 or 2014 I might have a viable contender. But again, that would call for a plan and a GM with at least rudimentary intelligence, plus I doubt Schaefer (sp?) would allow much of anyone to be traded to where it would be a "fire sale", though that's exactly what this club needs.
Hi'Ya Beav. If you recall, the McCourts did/do have a plan. Their master plan was to cut the payroll and increase ticket, parking, and concession prices. They have implemented and accomplished those goals and now we are left with the current dung heap that Nedildo and DonDo call a team.
That doesn't seem fair for coach Bundy when that team is already tied for 1st places and have a better chance of making the playoff than us? While we're at it called up JD Closser and Hoffmann to.

Glad to read Kyle Russell is doing well. Funny – When I first started reading and in particular started writing on ITD, we begged for them to play the kids. Now, here we are 3,4 years later pleading for the same thing. The Isotopes are fun to follow. They are coming to Fresno in August to play the Grizzlies, and as long as it works into the schedule, we are definitely going.

Just wonderful!
Hi'Ya Trumom. Wonderfully pathetic and profoundly absurd. Thanks to you and Dad/Eric for the attendance figures from yesterdays game.
#6 – #9 …….non-existant. Kersh, perhaps so, I'll alter that to #6 – #8 😉
lol 1 and 2 is non existent too at least Loney does have a production .280+ batting average. I never thought Carroll would be non existent but he's worthless in the 8th spot and once again you let Miles bat 6th and not the non producted worthless in driving in runs Carroll there.
Yippee that Soberoff idiot is gone! Now I'm the big cheese up bosses ass again.
James Baldwin and I know it been 6 games but this guy is on fire and have alreadt hit 2 HR's and 11 rbi's. and had 2 HR's in 179 AB's last year. I hate to used to copy and paste on this board in term of getting stats because they have these numbers on different lines instead of one big line or maybe I have to put the code in.

I swear, Neddy must have had a brain-fart when he decided it was a good idea to sign Yawn for a three year deal! What an idiot!
I almost forgot, GrrrRear too!
Look like we're not the only one with this problem.
Damn, the Ravine looks pretty full today.
Dre & Matty on base, all we need is a frriggin fly ball but, NOOOOO, Loweeney and Yawn do their usual deed!
Might I suggest we move to another thread?
Frank McCourt just go away…..Filed bankrupt….What's does this mean now lol…..This jerkoff going to be around longer now? Ugh
Josh, sorry you have to deal with this garbage! I think it is time we light our torches and run Frank out of town the old fashioned way!
Please Josh & ITD excuse my language!
With no Fox deal, just where did Frank get a $150 million line of bankruptcy credit?
What bullshit! Of course, he will do anything to prolong his presence whatever the consequences. I can't see where this move does anything other than diminish the value of the franchise whenever it's all over. That's Frank's way, and it'll hurt Jamie plenty – not that I care, nor probably does Frank.
As far as Rawitch, I hope the miserable spin fucker is one of the first out the door when this is all over. Nothing but a mouthpiece for the miserable ownership. Nobody with a title of manager of anything other than Logan White should be kept with this organization.
I think we are experiencing Frankruptcy!
No Frank, YOU have turned your back on the Dodgers.
And now I turn my back on you.
I feel nauseated…
Or as Marsellus, from Pulp Fiction so aptly put, "This shit is between me, you and Mr. Soon-to-be-living-the-rest-of-his-short-ass-ownership-in-agonizing-pain, rapist here."
Where's the bankruptcy thread Josh? Boy the Boss really ran this team into the ground. Even I'm disgusted.
How much longer do have to bear this farce? Will no one rid us of this idiot?
With today's turn of events, I'm more thoroughly disgusted than ever. I hope that all of you are as well. In addition to financially bankrupt, IMO Frank is morally and ethicaly bankrupt as well.
THEREFORE, I'd like to call for a BOYCOTT OF ITD. I personally want nothing to do with Frank or his happy-faced minion, and I hope you'll join me.
Boycotting ITD for the duration of Frank's tenure doesn't however mean I want everyone to throw away the comaraderie and friendships we've made here. Ergo with Dodgereric's permission, I'd like to suggest we move over to his Dodger Lyrics website:
and use it as our new venue. If Eric doesn't have a new thread available (which wouldn't surprise me), we can start off og the You & Me thread for today's game.
Hope to see you all there!!
And FUCK YOU FRANK!!
Folks, I am usually not at a loss for words but today's filing, while not surprising, leaves me with little more to say that has not already been said. But I do know this: I am not happy that the one little thing we had going was the ITD blog (remember we were called a cult sometime back?) and even that is fading away by constant movement to other threads. In addition, I now realize Jimmy Dykes (Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own, was wrong when he said there is no crying in baseball. I have a hard time believing Tommy, Vinny and maybe a few other old time Dodgers did not shed a tear or two today.
lbirken, I hear you and feel your angst. 2011, for me, will always be remembered as the painful lost summer of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Perhaps Frank will receive a visit from the ghost of Branch Rickey, as well as the ghosts of Dodgers past, present and future, and see the light. Perhaps he'll just drop dead. But I'll keep coming back to this blog. To those bloggers who are leaving in their 'Wooden Ships" to find a new shore, please remember, contrary to Kantner's and Crosby's lament, "you don't need us," ITD certainly DOES need you.
I love this blog, and all the people who comment here, even though my comments tend to be as redundant as the owner who's running the team.
I LOVE the Dodgers, and will never stop until Frank changes the colors to pink and yellow and names us the Los Angeles Pink's Hot Doggers.
I believe in supporting the team on the field, and see no problem with getting tix on StubHub to help the season ticket holders get a (in Plaschke's case) $2.55 return on their investment.
But I can't abide being nice to someone who puts himself first. I mean, I can understand looking out for yourself, who else is gonna do it? But in this case, it's not a corner store, not a business that only affects a surrounding community. This business McCourt currently owns affects millions of people around the world, and he's not only hurting the fans, players, coaches, and the poor, poor food and souvineir vendors who are affected WAY MORE DIRECTLY by a boycott than Frank McCourt, but he's hurting himself by devaluing the franchise with each petulant move he makes.
I'm saddened for all Dodger Employees that their boss is looking out for Number 1. Go Dodgers, always and forever.
8-0! Nelly and Emma are probably having a hell of a time in Minnesota!
See, it'll only get better now… I don't see a World Series or anything, but I see a team that's not rolling over and playing dead on this embarrassing night.
And did anyone else notice Frank can't spell Billingsley, Broxton or Ishii's name? What a joke that guy is!
****Hey Josh**** you have said in the past that the front office reads ITD and listens to us. Does Frank as well?
I'm seriously not trying to be a smart alack. I just know in the past you said that what we say here doesn't fall on deaf ears. Doesn't Frank realize that he's fighting a losing battle and by continuing to play this game has done nothing other than devalue the franchise which in the long run costs him more money? If the team is in better financial shape then the value is higher. If the value is higher then when it's sold he'll make more.
The more he "dents" the organization the less $$$ he's going to get.
Also by dragging this on and the organization through what he has will just make the fans dislike him more and then never come back if he's still the owner.
Seriously — enough is enough….
Best sight of the night, which they showed on the jumbo torn was two Twins fans wearing paperbags on there heads with a talking bubble saying, "At least our boss is stable!" Not only was the paperbag thing funny because of this blog, but I have to wholeheartedly agree with what they did. Shame on you Frank McCourt!!! Shame on you!!!
BTW – the Dodgers are winning 15-0. We have 24 hits so far. Great night for Trent Oeltjen!!!
If Broxton was closing the final score would of been 16-15 twins….LOL
True that Tru!
Don't forget Cormier.
From the LA Times…
Lopes said he found it curious that owner Frank McCourt hasn't spoken to the players about recent events.
"No one's explained anything to us, which I find a little ironic, for the lack of a better word," he said. "Major League Baseball came down and did their little five-minute introduction when they were taking over operations, but beyond that, no one's talked to them at all. I don't know if it would help but it would get respect. I find it ironic that Mr. McCourt has not come down to address the players at all. I just don't understand that. Obviously, he has his reasons. I just don't understand that."
Nor do I!
As Nelly said … Shame on you Frank — classless & clueless.
The more I read the more angry and disappointed I get.
Definitely disappointing, but sadly, not surprising.
Hollywood couldn't write a more crooked villain of an owner.
Here's an uplifting column, a happier read than the other non-team-on-the-field-related news today by Ramona Shelburne of ESPN-LA, "McCourt takes Dodgers' name in vain": http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/mlb/columns/story?id=6710721
Finally nowhere to go but up.
LOL..NELLY….I didn't see the BrownPaperBagged Twins….but that was funny. I've had Gians fans relatives post on FB that they will help with a car wash to raise money for the team…PUNKS….but I did laugh!
I did not know Aussy pips play baseball??? GREAT JOB TRENT OELTJEN!
Poor Carroll didn't get a chance to get in this game and should've probably taken over at 2nd bases for Uribe.
I remember back in 2006 at the old Metrodome we got swept.
Oeltjen was a former 2001 FA signing by the Twins before he went to the Dback and Brewers.
Well 15 runs 24 hits……good distraction….almost forgot about the bankruptcy….but Frank is still a greedy a…whole! FUERA FRANK!
Good stuff…..all if you! I have nothing to add at this time, It has all been said, and, said very well.
What a disgrace Frank is. Does anyone know when this process will be resolved? It would be great if we could get a new owner in sometime before the next free agency period begins
Have fun Emma! Maybe if you bring a sign that says "Hey Frank SELL THE TEAM!!" you might make it on tv!
Collie – That is a wonderful idea!!!!
I would have to do it for Wednesday day game because we are out and about right up until game time, and I don't want to carry it around with me.
Happy Birthday, Emma!
Hope the boys give us another win today. I'm glad you and Nellyjune are having a great time at Target Field.
Collie, there is something in the plans for something at the stadium before a game. details are still being formulated.
Thank you Tru! having a great time here. Met the blogger from http://heirloom.mlblogs.com/ I will see him again at the game tonight. He is a Dodger fan and a Twin fan. originally from Reseda, CA. I think it is great that it was his mom that introduced him to baseball. His dad did not care for the sports but there was mom to do that.
The $150 million interim financing under the bankruptcy is being provided by a hedge fund, which always sounds somewhat nondesript and anonymous, but it has been disclosed that the fund is owned by JP Morgan Chase. Anybody with Chase credit cards or other ties to JP Morgan Chase may want to consider changing to other arrangements.
Let the BOYCOTT roll!.
Did you ever notice that whenever Frank McCourt has bad news, the team plays so much better? IMO – the boys in blue celebrate every time Frank McCourt takes another step closer to ending his ownership of the team.
On April 20th, MLB/Bud Selig announces they are taking over the team. The Boys in Blue answer with a three game winning streak.
On June 27th, McCourt files for bankruptcy. The Boys in Blue answer with a 15-0 shellacking of the Twins.
Awesome, isn't it?! 😉
O.K., guys – JP Morgan Chase doesn't want to do business in southern California any longer; they want to fund Frank's continuing effort to hold onto the Dodgers despite what all the fans want.
BOYCOTT the bastards at JP Morgan Chase! Fuck them all – this comes straight from messagebear.
Boys and girls, this thing is getting nastier and nastier….
Baseball Blasts Dodgers Bankruptcy Loan
Just called and cancelled my Chase credit card. It's not like other banks aren't very happy to issue you a replacement one. Made sure I asked for a supervisor to tell her my reason for doing so and asked her to make sure she let's her bosses know why.
MLB to Dodgers' owner: 3 strikes and you're out
Excerpt from above story:
Kirkland & Ellis partner Jonathan Henes, who is not representing any of the parties in this case, said that McCourt is hoping a bankruptcy judge might order the Fox deal to be completed.
But Henes said the chances of such a ruling may have decreased now that the league has offered to fund the team through bankruptcy He expects the court will accept MLB's financing offer.
"I think we are at the beginning of the end of … the drama and … McCourt's ownership," Henes said.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Fighting Mc"Court" in the courts is like fightiung a pig in a sty…it's where each lives and breathes.
Judge Approves Dodgers Bankruptcy Financing
This is just a temporary thing, right? After the scheduled date, will he still be forced to sell the team?
Sounds like Frankie just bought another 20 days. I am pessimistic that he will be forced to sell at the July 20 hearing. Per the attached story, he's getting a $60 MM loan now, and perhaps another $90 MM loan on July 20.
Does anyone know if this was a personal loan or was this borrowed against the Dodgers. Presumably putting the team into more debt. What is it going to take to get rid of this jerk?
I'm pretty sure the loan goes on the Dodgers' books.
Who the hell knows what is going to happen? Like Woody Allen said in one of his movies about accountants, "They have a language all their own." Same for lawyers.
So sad, but true.
So today's decision on pushing everything to July 20th puts us much closer to the trading deadline of July 31. If the Dodgers are still in bankruptcy court at the end of July, doesn't that automatically make them sellers rather than buyers? Or is that too simplistic?
Should the hedge fund loans be approved and not paid back, I have the sinking feeling that the Dodgers will be playing at the JP Morgan Chase Stadium. This entire situation is beyond amazing. I've never heard of anyone being so selfish, self-centered and self serving as Frank McCourt. Blah!!!!
Sparkle, is it possible Frank may have found a way to sell the naming rights without actually selling the naming rights? Could this be another of those "loans" Frank takes with no intention of ever paying it back? I hope MLB looks into this aspect.
"The agreement includes reducing a proposed exit fee for the lending group from $4.5 million to $250,000, and removing certain deadlines regarding the sale of broadcast rights."
Sounds like MLB trying to keep the value of the Dodgers at an optimum price…for a SALE!
Here's my favorite part:
"Earlier Tuesday, the league accused Dodgers owner Frank McCourt of siphoning off more than $100 million in revenue and driving the team into a liquidity crisis."
Best interests of baseball? I think McCourt is TOAST.
I do too, the more I read and hear!
Oh heavy sigh. Very sad and frustrating day. Another 3 weeks of waiting. Most people still believe Frank will be gone eventually and Bud is just being compliant with the Bankruptcy court to further get his case in order. I really don't know if I can continue to invest my time and heart into the Dodgers if McBroke is allowed to remain as the owner. I think if he does remain as the Dodger owner, once Kemp, Ethier, and Kersh are gone, I will be also.
"A person familiar with Major League Baseball's plans says the league 'probably' will file a motion to seize the cash-strapped Los Angeles Dodgers.
Baseball's constitution allows Commissioner Bud Selig to take control of a team that seeks Chapter 11 protection. MLB first must file a motion seeking termination of the franchise, and the person says that is 'probably going to happen.' There is no timetable for that filing."
And on a bizarre note, the name of the judge in today's Delaware proceedings: Kevin Gross.
To bad he didn't throw a no hitter at Frank today.
Good to see you, sir 😉
Ewww, Gross! 😉
You too Trumom. Ned has clogged up the Dodger toilet with Barajas, Navarro, Thames, Gibbons, Uribe, Grrrear, Cormier, etc….
He sure has. I'm thinking about bringing my toilet out of retirement …… maybe we should all do it!
I think Ethier flying the wave is very appropriate and makes a statement about how most Dodger fans are feeling about the current state of the Dodgers.
Here's a thread that is not as long we can switch to for the game.
This process could be a long & painfull one. Prolonging the fans suffering stinks. I was hoping this mess would be cleared up by the all star break. McCrook just can't get out of this picture fast enough for me. .

The internal female reproductive organs include the uterus, ovaries, cervix and vagina. These organs are necessary to produce a successful pregnancy. To prevent pregnancy, birth control pills affect how these organs normally function.
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Lutenizing Hormone (LH) stimulate the ovary into producing a ripe egg ready for fertilization by sperm during a normal ovulation cycle.
During a normal menstrual cycle, hormones stimulate the ovary causing an egg to ripen. The uterine lining thickens preparing itself for implantation of a fertilized egg and the cervical mucus thins to help sperm reach the egg.
The estrogen in the body causes the pituitary gland to release LH stimulating the ovary to produce a ripe egg.
The lower levels of estrogen in birth control pills suppress FSH and LH, "fooling" the pituitary gland into thinking a woman is pregnant. Ovulation will then not occur, which prevents pregnancy.
The progesterone in birth control pills creates a thick cervical mucus, making it difficult for sperm to reach the uterus. It also impedes an egg from attaching itself to the uterine lining (endometrium) because of changes in the cellular structure of the lining.

Online gaming, PC's, Hand held games and video game consoles have long led many anxious parents to fear that their children could turn into addicted, uncultured sloths.
But research by one of Britain's largest music charities suggests that the popularity of active music titles such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band have prompted up to 2.5 million children to learn the instruments for real.
The report conducted by Youth Music found that of the 12 million young people aged from 3 to 18, more than half played music games. A fifth of those gamers said that they now played an instrument after catching the musical bug from the games.
"We have long known that young people are encouraged to take an interest in music if it is presented to them in a compelling way," said Andrew Missingham, the music industry expert who wrote the report. "This research for the first time shows conclusively that young people are being inspired to make their own music by games that first piqued their interest."
Guitar Hero, where players strap on a plastic guitar and strum along to rock hits, has sold 5.5 million copies worldwide since its 2005 release and spawned several games including Guitar Hero: World Tour, which came out last month. Rock Band, which features a plastic drum kit, has sold 4 million and the karaoke game SingStar has sold 4 million copies globally.
Guitar manufacturers and instrument stores told The Times that sales of instruments featured in the games are on the rise and music teachers said that the games were encouraging the uptake of music lessons.
Nick Matthews, 13, from Buckinghamshire, said that he had started to learn playing tracks such as School's Out by Alice Cooper on a real guitar. He first heard the song while playing Guitar Hero with his 67-year-old grandfather.
"I like it because it's really fast," he said. "I probably wouldn't like the songs if it wasn't for game."
Adam Easton, from Music Ground, the parent company for the majority of the musical instrument shops in Denmark Street, in the West End of London, said: "Because getting a guitar is actually cheaper than buying a new computer at Christmas, when kids get influenced by Guitar Hero and think they really want to play an electric, mums and dads say, 'great, I've got him off the computer at last! Here's 200 quid, go buy yourself one'."
The US guitar-maker Gibson said that it had seen sales on the rise, particularly those that are featured in the video games such as the iconic Les Paul guitar.

Revolution Design Ultra Camber Gauge R2 (Blue)
|Low Price:
COVID-19: We ask for your understanding as you may experience delivery delays.
|Low Price:
The RDRP Ultra Camber Gauge R2 is an ultra precise tool to measure the wheel camber on 1/12th to 1/8th scale on-road and off-road vehicles. With the camber being an important parameter to maximize the performance of your vehicle's tires, tire life and overall grip, accurate and reproducible measuring is necessary in order to gain an advantage over your competitors.
CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, the Ultra Camber Gauge not only is super accurate but also has everything it needs to withstand the rigors of regular abuse in racing situations. Tight tolerances, high-tech materials, precise laser-etched markings, solid construction and thought out design help to achieve this high accuracy every time you use the gauge. Measuring the wheel's angle is a matter of seconds with the Ultra Camber Gauge while at the same time having the same precision that is normally achieved with much more complex setup systems. The 2016 variant of the RDRP camber gauge is available in a range of colors including red, orange, black, blue and light blue.
Material: 7075-T6 aluminum
Measuring range: +/-6°

RUMOURS have surfaced speculating pop superstar Justin Timberlake will headline V Festival this year.
A post on website efestivals.co.uk which successfully predicted Beyonce would be the star attraction to Hylands Park in 2013 has said the former N Sync singer will get top billing this time round.
The festival which is split between the venue in Chelmsford and Weston Park in Staffordshire will take place on August 16 and 17.
The website's post says: "We believe that the American singer-songwriter, who returned from a eight-year hiatus last year and headlined London's Wireless, has been booked to close one of the nights of the twin festival."
Since 2005 Timberlake has concentrated more on his acting career.
He ended his hiatus from the music industry 11 months ago when he released his 20/20 Experience album.
During the 33-year-old's solo career he has had four number ones in the UK and has sold almost 20 million albums worldwide.
Organisers of the festival refused to confirm whether Timberlake was one of the headliners this year.
The sort of thing we could expect to see in Chelmsford this summer: Justin Timberlake performing What Goes Around at Rock in Rio last year.
A spokeswoman said: "The line-up for this year's Virgin Media V Festival is not yet confirmed.
"We do not have a confirmed date yet when the line-up announcement will be made, but it will be in the coming weeks."
On Thursday, January 30, Timberlake was named as the third most global recording artists by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.
British boyband One Direction came first in the poll ahead of US rapper Eminem.

Star James Franco explains that his entry in the Planet of the Apes saga has a very different theme from that of Charlton Heston's original - and that it's all about why science and money are dangerous to mix together.
Yet another round of high-res Amazing Spider-Man photos have been released.
Bill Pullman and Jane Espenson preview what's ahead on Torchwood: Miracle Day.
We've got the latest crazy — and almost certainly fake — explanation of what happens in The Dark Knight Rises.
Plus Clark Gregg explains what sets The Avengers apart from other ensemble movies - and it's not the presence of superheroes!
Spoilers from here on out!
Top image from Cowboys & Aliens.
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
James Franco explains why this latest entry in the decades-old franchise is different from what's come before:
If you compare our movie to the other ones, I think there's a huge shift in theme. The early Apes movies are much more about cultures clashing, and the later ones became much more about race. In ours, they've shifted the emphasis — it's a Frankenstein story. But Mary Shelley's book was more about a scientist playing God. Our film is really a cautionary tale about what can happen when experimentation is unchecked... I suppose there must be altruistic scientists out there working for the betterment of humankind. But like anything — movies, religion, anything-money gets bound up in it all. That's where it gets dangerous.
Franco also explains what it was like working with Andy Serkis as the performance capture basis for the super-intelligent chimpanzee Caesar:
On set, Andy would be dressed in an outfit that looked like gray pajamas, with a ton of wires around him and a small camera at the end of a wire armature pointed at his face to capture his expressions. He looked nothing like a chimpanzee, but he was so good at capturing the behavior of a chimpanzee that I guess my actor's imagination took over. It was like acting with a chimpanzee who has amazing acting instincts.
There's more at the link, including his brief critique of the ethics of the Bradley Cooper film Limitless, which ends with his admission that he fell asleep before the end. [Wired]
The Amazing Spider-Man
Here are a bunch more high-res photos from Entertainment Weekly, including our first official look at Denis Leary as Captain George Stacy and much better glimpses of Martin Sheen and Sally Field as Uncle Ben and Aunt May. [/Film]
Captain America
Sebastian Stan explains the movie's take on his character, Bucky Barnes:
I found this version of the character to be very human. This is a guy who essentially grew up as an orphan. He's got Steve, whom he treats like a brother, this is his only family, and at the same time, he lives in a conflicted world. He was born into the military, but he has started to question himself. He has seen the horrors of war, he understands what it is. But he is constantly looking to better himself. Is he getting what he should be getting out of life? At the same time, the conflict is that he will never let anything happen to Steve. That ties directly into the circumstances that he is in. I think those are very real issues. Its not about, "Let's go kick some butt!" all the time. It's also about this internal struggle. I thought that was interesting.
Here's a new featurette.
Here's another poster. [Marvel]
The Avengers
Clark Gregg, who plays Agent Coulson, says he's finished filming in Albuquerque but still has some scenes left to do in Cleveland. He also offered this quote emphasizing the movie's humor:
I was in Albuquerque two days ago. There's almost nothing I can say, except that it's the funnest ensemble movie in the history of the planet, and that Joss Whedon is God.
He also said an Agent Coulson spin-off movie isn't out of the question:
You know, I certainly think it's a great idea. I'm just trying to get the Marvel guys as excited about it as I am. They seem to be weirdly more open to it. There's more talk about seeing Agent Coulson in some other mediums, lately, and I'm open to the idea.
The Dark Knight Rises
Someone claiming to be an extra in the film also claims to know key plot details. There aren't really enough grains of salt in the universe to deal with this one, but here's the heavily sic'ed account:
The Epic Conclusion is referring to the fight scene between Bane and Batman. Batman does get bloodied and beating to a pulp finally bane has Batman over his head in the air .....well you just have to find out what happens but the first offical trailer you will see has young Ra's al ghul and Catwoman.But it is Bane and batman at the end of the trailer batman is limping and Bane is Limping as well, Batman walks up to Bane before they fight and Bane says Iv'e been waiting for you pumps his Venom up then turns his head then Batman backs up.
Honestly, I'm not even totally sure what's being discussed here, but I'm still pretty sure it's bogus. [Know Your Marvel News]
Cowboys & Aliens
Here are some more photos. [IGN]
Actor Brendan Wayne - whose grandfather John was also known for the occasional cowboy film - discuss his part in the movie:
I do play Deputy Lyle who is technically Keith Carradine's deputy. He plays Sheriff Taggart. Deputy Lyle gets to go on the adventure of a lifetime in this movie! Jon Favreau, the director, just did such a beautiful job making a western...Deputy Lyle gets to go on a little chase. He's going to find the people that they've lost and that journey is fantastic!

The Hobbit
And now we've completed the first look photos of all the dwarves. There's a photo of Ken Stott and Graham McTavish as Balin and Dwalin, and then Richard Armitage as their king Thorin Oakenshield, compete with his sword Ocrist, the Goblin cleaver. [Time and TheOneRing.net]
Knights of Badassdom
Here are some more promo photos of the LARPing-based horror movie starring Summer Glau, True Blood's Ryan Kwanten, Steve Zahn, Community's Danny Pudi, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Jimmi Simpson, and America's greatest living actor, Peter Dinklage. (And no, I don't think I'm exaggerating on that last point.) Director Joe Lynch also discusses the movie's premise, and how it follows Kwanten's Joe into the world of live-action role-playing:
"Joe is a wannabe rockstar whose girlfriend (Margarita Levieva) broke up with him, his band is kaput, he lost his job, and his buddies are like, 'Look you had a bad day, but instead of going to a bar, come with us and go LARPing and escape. Live outside your box a little."
And then, long story short, some demons show up. (I said I was keeping it short.) Lynch also explains what appeals to him about the movie:
"I love the idea of wish-fulfillment, that you can work in Baja Fresh or at an office all week but on the weekend you can throw on armor made of pizza boxes or have a sword with duct tape on it and become an elf or a thief or a rogue. And the outside world goes away."
Men in Black 3
Here's a set video featuring Will Smith and Josh Brolin filming at Long Island's Robert Moses State Park. [Shockya]
Torchwood: Miracle Day
Here's a promo for episode three, "Dead of Night."
Jane Espenson discusses writing Captain Jack:
I had a wonderful time writing this Jack – I got to dig deeply into his psyche in our episode seven – there is a conversation that gets pretty raw and wonderful. Russell kept sending me back out to rewrite it, saying that there was more there, that I could go deeper. I never would have found what I found without that instruction. I'm starting to think that every writer should just keep being sent home with that instruction. The results are pretty cool.
She also offers some general descriptions for her solo-written episodes:
I wrote 3, 5 and 7. I also co-wrote episodes 8 and 10, but as my solo efforts, 3, 5 and 7 are my babies. In no particular order, to preserve suspense- one of them is a "dark night of the soul" episode – a chance for the characters to catch their breath and take stock of their situation as it stands at that point in the story. I like episodes like this because they are so much about character. One of them involves a romance, which was great fun to write. And the other is tense action and shocking revelations.
Bill Pullman explains why he was cast as pedophile murderer Oswald Danes:
"I didn't even think about it until halfway into shooting. I said to [executive producer] Julie Gardner, 'Why did you cast me? Is there something about me I don't know?' She said, 'Because you're kind of America's sweetheart.' They were looking to destabilise viewers."
Elsewhere, Pullman confirms the next episode is when Oswald meets the Torchwood team. He also previews the character's journey over the course of the season:
Either by fluke, or coincidence, or divine destiny, his failure to die becomes the pivot for a whole world that has changed. He becomes a global celebrity, in a way. People begin to listen to him and he has a message they want to hear. He's an intelligent guy, so he's recognising opportunities, and sensing all the layers of threat that could come and throw him off his throne. He recognises all these powers that want to co-opt him. He has to make alliances with difficult people that he is not comfortable with. So you get a look at that kind of intricacies of power.
He also revealed that Danes's relationship with Lauren Ambrose's PR person Jilly Kitzinger is "curiously written." [SFX.co.uk]
Co-executive producer Joel Wyman revealed on Twitter that they're currently writing episode three, and that, when asked about Lincoln Lee's return, "you won't be disappointed by Lincoln." [SpoilerTV]
Here's the first teaser trailer for season four, although the clips are taken from the season one episode "The Arrival."
And here's an interview with Joshua Jackson in which he discusses his future on the show.
True Blood
Alan Ball explains why Sookie and Eric are now on the verge of genuine love:
"There's some fun stuff with Sookie and her men coming down the pike. The [amnesia] spell has created an Eric that never would have existed before, and that is the person Sookie is falling for. They're both genuinely falling in love. [Bill] doesn't like it one bit. But eventually the clash between the witches and vampires is going to bring everyone together."
Jewel Staite tweeted that she has completed her filming on Supernatural, confirming she's in the Jensen Ackles-directed third episode. [@JewelStaite]
Matthew MacNulty discusses his character Seth and what's coming up on the new season:
Seth's got Nazis to deal with at the moment, and there'll be some zombies further along the line. And a love story as well. It's good."
He's not a very nice guy, Seth...
"Yeah. I think at first you sort of think that, but I think you get to know Seth a little bit more in this next series and you can kind of get a little bit of an understanding of why he is like he is and I think people will warm to him a little bit more."
What else can you tease to get us excited about Misfits?
"I don't know! We only shoot it block by block. At the moment there's an episode where Hitler doesn't get killed. In the Christmas special, Seth makes a reference to someone giving a power away and someone wanted to go back and kill Hitler. Well, he doesn't get killed. Somebody goes back and Hitler doesn't get killed so when they go back to the future it's a different world, and that's where the Nazi thing comes in. I don't know how that guy's mind works, [creator] Howard [Overman]. It's crazy some of the storylines he comes up with."
Also, regarding the departure of Robert Sheehan as Nathan, he says replacement Joe Gilgun's Rudy "well and truly takes the baton from Nathan." [Digital Spy]
Falling Skies
Child actor Maxim Knight, who plays Matt Mason on the show, gives a general preview of what lies ahead:
There's not that much stuff that I could say, but there is more detail on the harnesses coming up, and the alien ship.
A couple episodes ago, we saw Matt working with Scott to get the radio online again. Will we see more of that in the future, now that he's been promoted to Communications Officer?
Yeah I'm gonna still be working with Scott. But with the radio thing, there's gonna be a lot more than just Skitters having radios in their heads.
The next episode features a big reveal about a character, and, on a related note, some follow-up on why Ben seems a bit strange after his return. [EW]

DENVER, March 9 (UPI) -- Blizzard conditions in Colorado Saturday forced the cancellation of more than 600 flights in Denver, officials said.
By 6 p.m., the National Weather Service reported 9 inches of snow near Strasburg with winds up to 43 mph, whipping up drifts as deep as 4 feet, The Denver Post reported. Snow up to 15 inches deep was reported in the region's foothills.
The storm led authorities to close sections of Interstate 70 and U.S. 40, the newspaper said.
"Is this how it is in Colorado?" asked Alan Schultz, whose ski group from Birmingham, Ala., postponed its sport utility vehicle ride to the slopes because of the treacherous road conditions.
The dangerous, snow-packed roads were implicated in a two-car crash on Highway 50 east of Gunnison that killed a 5-year-old boy and a 2-year-old girl, the Colorado State Patrol said. One driver was hospitalized in serious condition and the other suffered minor injuries.
It was snowing at the time of the crash, the State Patrol said.
Denver proper actually got only a few inches of snow, much less than the 16 inches, predicted.
"It hasn't been piling up like we expected," Bernie Meier, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Boulder, said. "It has been melting more than we thought."
Temperatures are expected to rebound into the 40s Sunday and hit the mid-60s by mid-week.
The Post said the worst of the storm hit the Eastern Plains, where winds gusted up to 50 mph Saturday afternoon, whipping the snow into white-out conditions.
Accuweather.com said heavy snow would spread from the Rockies to parts of the Plains States into Sunday.
Blowing snow would be replaced by blowing dust over the deserts from New Mexico to western Texas, the weather service said.
Thunderstorms with hail are possible from Austin, Texas, to Tulsa, Okla., Accuweather.com said.

I hold on to hope
Over the years you've grown to be one of my best friends. And honestly I one from the beginning I could fall hopelessly in love with you. I fought it long and hard for many years. You have had a way of pushing my buttons that nmade hating you so easy. But things have changed in a way I couldn't have imagined and I can't tell you because of all that could be ruined. But I hold on to hope that if we are meant to be it will find a way. I love you now and always will. Maybe one day I'll find out if you feel the same.

Canadian National Railway said late Wednesday that it was business as usual along the Skeena River in northwestern B.C., following a claim by the Gitxsan First Nation that members may begin blockading the railway Tuesday evening.
Last month, the Gitxsan Treaty Society in Hazelton issued eviction notices to non-aboriginal sport anglers, logging companies and CN Rail on First Nations lands, saying they had until Aug. 4 to cease operations on 33,000 square kilometres of Gitxsan territory along the Skeena River.
Mark Hallman, a spokesman for CN Rail, acknowledged that the Gitxsan have asked the company to cease operating trains between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., but said operations are continuing as normal.
"Only the British Columbia and federal governments are in a position to address the outstanding issues," he said, adding that as of late Wednesday afternoon there had been no service disruptions and he was not aware of any First Nations members blockading the railway.
Hallman said the railway has received an injunction from the B.C. Supreme Court barring anyone from trespassing on CN's rail line between Smithers and Terrace or physically obstructing CN's train operations in the corridor.
"CN obtained this injunction on August 5 to ensure continued rail service for the benefit of its customers in this important rail corridor. CN expects the injunction to be respected. At this time, there has been no attempt to interfere or halt CN operations in the area."
He would not speculate what would happen to CN operations if the Gitxsan do go ahead with a blockade.
Chief negotiator Gwaans Beverley Clifton Percival said there could be some "movement" Wednesday afternoon on the CN Rail tracks, but that she was waiting for another chance to negotiate with the provincial government. She would not say how many members she expected to take part in any blockade.
Earlier this week, she told The Sun there would be "a shutdown of services through the Gitxsan territories."
The Gitxsan hereditary chiefs have invited federal and provincial representatives to a meeting today "to come to a solution and avoid further closures."
The Gitxsan are one of several aboriginal groups in the province enforcing their claim on traditional lands following a landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision last month recognizing aboriginal land title for the Tsilhqot'in First Nation.
Shortly after the decision, the Gitxaala First Nation, with territory on islands off the North Coast, announced plans to file a lawsuit in the Federal Court of Appeal challenging Ottawa's recent approval of the Northern Gateway pipeline from Alberta.
Also, the Kwikwetlem First Nation is claiming title to all lands associated with the now-closed Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam, along with other areas of its traditional territory.

2011 Infiniti QX56
When Infiniti announced that it was stopping production of its fullsize QX56 luxo barge at its Canton, Mississippi, plant, we knew a new vehicle was in the works, but what would it be based upon? As it turns out, the new 2011 Infiniti QX56 bowing at the 2010 New York auto show is a version of Nissan's new Patrol SUV, which is sold outside of North America. As you'd expect from Infiniti, this big boy has been all decked out for the U.S. market.
With its smoother overall lines, the new QX56 is arguably better looking than its predecessor, but we're not prepared to call it gorgeous. One exterior que you'll no doubt notice are its massive 22-inch wheels, which are available as part of the deluxe touring package that also includes Infiniti's hydraulic body motion control -- a system designed to keep the big SUV flatter in turns and improve overall handling. Since the last QX was so lumbering in turns, even a moderate improvement in handling will no doubt go a long way toward satisfying enthusiasts.
Motion control could come in quite handy if you're eager to tap into the 400-horsepower V-8's potential. Infiniti is sticking with the familiar 5.6-liter displacement but squeezing 25 percent more horsepower out of it thanks to direct injection and variable valve timing. We've also been told the engine increases fuel economy by 10 percent, but Infiniti has yet to release the new QX's EPA numbers. Buyers can choose between rear- or all-wheel drive models and the only transmission offered is a seven-speed automatic. Thanks to the major horsepower and body-on-frame construction, the QX can tow an impressive 8500 pounds in either rear- or four-wheel drive configuration.
Of course most buyers will be more interested in the QX's interior appointments than how much it can tow, and not surprisingly, there's a lot of luxury going on in the cabin. With Infiniti's standard hard drive-based navigation unit, Bluetooth, XM satellite radio, and optional features like semi-aniline leather seats or a pair of 7-inch video screens for passengers in the second row, the QX is as upscale as you'd expect a vehicle in its class to be.
Infiniti has been on the cutting edge with new automotive technology and the QX is no exception. It's loaded beyond the gills with a bevy of standard and optional electronic aids for the driver that range from lane departure warning and prevention to blind spot warning to active cruise control with collision avoidance provisions. If you're in the market for a fullsize luxury SUV with all the latest technological wizardy designed to make driving it easier, look no further.
Perhaps the most impressive point on the new QX is its pricing. Despite the major powertrain enhancements and upmarket interior appointments, the QX will not see a price increase for 2011. A rear-wheel drive QX starts at $56,700 and four-wheel-drive QX56s will begin at $59,800. These prices do not include destination charges as Infiniti has not released that information for its 2011 model year lineup as of yet. We should have that information shortly though as the 2011 Infiniti QX56 goes on sale this summer.

Kurp and I are first timers to THE Comic-Con and we are here first and foremost to cover the TV shows we love and the films we're anticipating, but we decided it was our duty (and arguably our privilege) to battle the mob on the Preview Night exhibit floors last night and capture some of the festivities.
The thing that most jumped out to me most during my indoctrination into Comic-Con, aside from the free swag riots, is just how willing and eager all the attendees are to participate in anything. ANYTHING. "What's this line for?" asks one attendee to another over and over. Half the time the other attendee knows, the other half they're just blindly basing their willingness to stand in line on a poster for something they've heard of and the fact that other people were already standing in line. As someone who suffers from mild agoraphobia this perplexes me.
But I get the mentality. For the most part. This is why they came to Comic-Con. EXPERIENCE. INTERACTION. SKIN-TO-SKIN CONTACT WITH R-PATZ. The majority of the cooler exhibits we photographed last night (many photos come courtesy of the lovely and charming Nadia Chaudhury) make sense to me from a pop culture standpoint, even if I know close to nothing about the current state of the comic book world and was born in the early 80's. A few however, did not. So to help kick off our Comic-Con coverage, here's a collection of exhibits that absolutely seemed worth waiting in line for (and a few that didn't).
Getting your photo taken as one of Michone's neck-shackled zombie prisoners totally makes sense, btw.

This dude was 99% certain he was Tony Stark in this moment.
YOU. SHALL. NOT. PASS (me in the free posters line).
The kids f'n love Lego Hulk. Smashes so many legos.
There was no three-boobed hooker riding shotgun but still pretty badass.
If you don't have an affinity for Bartman my childhood has some choice words for you.
My Hulk Hogan wrestling buddy and I had a lot of good times together. A lot of good times.
I never heard what was in the schoolhouse, but I was intrigued by the truthiness of the stick.
For the purposes of this post, this Optimus Prime has never met Michael Bay.
No explanation necessary.
I still have no idea what the hell was going on here.
You know, cause Bronies.
The popularity of this exhibit will never ever make sense in any universe.

EFF Cases: StorageTek, U.S. Government, EchostarBy Ericka Chickowski Print
The Electronic Frontier Foundation fights tirelessly for free speech and privacy rights, but it is also a big proponent for free innovation. The following legal cases are some of the most important the EFF has participated in over the years.
8. StorageTek v. Custom Hardware
Another important case abusing the DMCA, this case saw the vendor StorageTek using a very basic maintenance code to prevent the defendant and other computer repair technicians from performing routine maintenance on its systems. The idea is to keep customers coming to the vendor for more costly repairs. Custom Hardware circumvented the measures to help its customer, and was ultimately sued for the action. EFF participated in this case, which ultimately set the precedence in favor of technology users everywhere, who do not have to be locked into a vendor's repair service simply through the fear of being dinged by DMCA.
9. U.S. v. Arnold
The EFF is one of the major public interest groups leading the charge against the government in its bid to confiscate traveler laptops at its whim. EFF lawyers filed an amicus in this case, in which the government claims Fourth Amendment requirements for reasonable suspicion doesn't apply to laptops and other digital devices at the border and at international airports. Sadly, the government won this case. This is bad news for businesses sending employees out on international trips with digital devices containing intellectual property and other sensitive material. EFF plans on continuing this fight, though.
10. Echostar v. Freetech
The EFF fought on behalf of a company called Freetech to prevent Echostar from receiving Freetech customer information in its bid to prevent copyright infringement. Echostar said that the satellite receivers created by Freetech could be modified to pirate DISH TV programming. The EFF argued with the court that this doesn't necessarily mean customers actually did pirate anything and that allowing Echostar access to Freestar customer list is a flagrant privacy violation. The court ruled in favor of EFF and Freestar, a major plus for any business looking to protect its customers in similar instances.
For a more in-depth look at the EFF, read The EFF Patrols Uncharted Online Territory.

The higher a company's earnings, the bigger CEO Pay. In the largest ten percent of companies, CEOS have "skin in the game"—holding almost 100 times their salary in stock. These are a few of the findings from this year's Top Executive Compensation in 2008 which provides extensive analysis of compensation by industry, revenue, and compensation type for CEOs and the five highest-paid executives. Issues of pay for performance during the recession are likely to take center stage in the upcoming proxy seasons, but information on CEO salaries won't be revealed until next year's proxy data is available.
