All My Children

All My Children:The cancellation announcement could be imminent, according to a report on TV Squad. When the show debuted, Richard Nixon was in the White House, the war in Vietnam raged and the Beatles had just broken up. Read full TV Squad posting on the fate of “All My Children.”

But television executives are paid to ignore sentimentality. The show is past its prime and something may have to be done. According to Deadline, the show finished last in the important demographic of women 18-49. It was watched by 463,000 people in that group, a drop of 34% against a year ago. The soap also finished last in total viewers, accounting for 2.32 million.

Nothing is sacred. TV executives may have to re-think the concept of the soap opera altogether. The Internet, computer games, gadgets, cable news and talk radio have encroached on TV in general, and soaps, which offer mindless fantasy, look ripe to be victims.

And “All My Children,” which launched the career of many TV stars, wouldn’t be the first long-running soap to get the axe. CBS /quotes/comstock/13*!cbs/quotes/nls/cbs (CBS 24.67, +0.16, +0.63%)  cancelled “As the World Turns” and Guiding Light” in recent years. Networks are realizing that viewers don’t need to follow the antics of Erica Kane and her ilk anymore to get their kicks.

If ABC, a unit of Walt Disney /quotes/comstock/13*!dis/quotes/nls/dis (DIS 41.43, -0.40, -0.95%) ,  killed the show, the move would surely mark the end of an era. But it looks like fewer and fewer viewers would notice.

News Alert: Shooting on MTSU Campus:

Police have taken a suspect into custody after a shooting on the campus on Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

An MTSU alert said the shooting was reported just before noon at the Business and Aerospace Building, reports CBS affiliate WTVR.

According to the alert, two men were arguing when one man brandished a firearm and shot the other in the hand.

“I was headed to Subway to get a sandwich and there was a slight argument between a taller black fellow wearing a plaid shirt and khaki jeans and what sounded like a juvenile in high school. Then I heard a shot behind me,” said one witness. “There were hundreds of students around so I thought if there was a shot, that he had shot in the air.”

Officials said the victim was being treated for an injured thumb. His identity was not released.

The area around the building was placed on lockdown. Officials asked everyone on campus to stay inside buildings as secured as possible, reports WTVR.

The Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics:

Their seven game road trip season in the third game, Lakers then won a victory, the team against a particular class time, a victory that has eluded them all season type. This is a perfect Boston has health problems exacerbated by only foul trouble was not measuring stick, but, if in late 1970 U.S. summer camp cinema wisest – Meatballs can borrow from the wisdom and insight ” It just does not matter. ” TD Banknorth Garden Lakers still went into a game they need to win ownership of the second half. That is not to determine a playoff favorite anything about “means” is irrelevant. If the Lakers lost, the same will be true.

Thursday’s game movement to determine the next winner can not be very good, but to provide a little context was very good. All, one of its top shelf performance, this type of fan (Lakers and maybe yourself) was in search of every season. Here is how it broke down …

Review:

1. The second half defense. Until a second quarter rally to end with, Lakers Boston area now 51 per cent in the first half allowed to shoot. In the third quarter, though, Ray on the bench with foul trouble with Alan (after van after by Wafer), net Robinson injury in the locker room, the Lakers left Boston scorers is clamping down on of a very good halfcourt worked per cent less – I think Celtics Rajon Rondo jumpers including host force. Once the 6:41 mark Ellen went to the bench, the Lakers just three field goals the rest of the quarter allowed all jumpers. Celtics scored only 15 points overall, and for visitors to very positive frame Lakers made the best attack for the game with quarter.

2. Open the third quarter. Bring serious motion carried half, second quarter, eight of the last four minutes to cut a 15-point deficit. Instead, the Boston control coming out of break to allow recovery, the Lakers continued their push. Derek Fisher a 3 – Boston’s lead cut to five key indicators from top drilled. Kobe Bryant came right back, taking the role of the double team and a separate investigation against Allen doing before – seemed to Boston was preparing to approve Bryant made his first half trends, and finishing room In the process, and a drawing. 38 seconds, Lakers had six points. On your next trip, Bryant to score again in this way has worked, 10:18 Lakers to a 55-53 lead on Mark Gasol jumper after a page.

From there, Lakers continued to control the game. But those first two minutes of the third game in their favor balance was swinging.

3. Kobe Bryant. Staples Center in a matchup of first criticism is lingering shot Bryant was selected. Soon as he was efficient, Kobe touches and power pills. As Lakers fought in the second half, Bryant 10 points, hoisting a direct visits for a crime took firmer control.

Tonight, Bryant clearly touched by his associates had set to achieve. They work by first double teams spent more than half, coming away and roll, achieving fast defense, and kicking open man. The two men Gasol and Andrew Bynum in the game is found, killed on the frame shooters, and a great job distributing the ball. The results certainly were not there – Lakers in the first half of missed shots a lot – but it was intended. This first half is not true that I take three pills, but rather determining not force shots and get moving in Boston infection.

Celtics are up soon, Kobe’s defense in Boston early in the third slot was able to exploit. Not surprisingly, he was more aggressive on the final 24 minutes looking for shot, and done with good performance, 20 points and hit eight of 14. Once Allen was out of the game, Bryant Wafer attack is because of Kobe Bryant made a point, and Von Wafer was protecting him. He finished with 23 am.

4. Pages Gasol and Andrew Bynum. Together, on 23 for 14 from the floor for 36 points combined, 19 rebounds, and two blocks. Gasol on that part of an aggressive game, taking shots when they were available, in paint attack on Kevin Garnett, and when Boston visited far more effective playing Staples posting. He took out a piece is Lamar Odom in the third quarter of the forehead, sending it to the bench for medical attention. It seemed, perhaps, unintentional, but who said that black swan black cannibal Gasol is ready to have?

5. Rebounding. Lakers and Celtics last played 10 times nine, the rebounding battle in winning team won the game. Tonight, Lakers Plus Board (47-36) was 11. They won the game. All hail predictive statistics!

Lowlights:

1. Elementary Odom. Lakers Odom in part because of initial struggle of a train wreck was little. It rarely a bad thing for Odom assertive to search for this shot, but Thursday night he went too far too often, forced shot in traffic and easy opportunities to help Boston differently. L.O. Usually are not in this type of samples, but tonight he did in the first half, and it hurt.

2. Defense and the first quarter (in the second bleeding). Lakers 52 percent shooting allowed 27 points, Rondo too much freedom to roam allowed, both coaches allow him to finish and created for others and their closeouts were a little Squishy. Fortunately, things tightened last 30 minutes of the game, but was still open back.

3. Home Turnovers. Five in the first quarter, coming in the post and dribble away with miscues, sometimes under pressure from Celtics away, sometimes from carelessness. Until the show was something normal, not as demonstrated by a Ron Artest Gasol lower arm and hands is that pages scorer left on the table to pass. Lakers because of a slow start watching, this is it.

4. Lack of aggressive type. Not its performance (referenced above) a dig, but the way she posted for this game too. Kobe’s favor and to have their work role sets, or to find an open teammate before the frame to protect from the probing attract. Problem and its role to favor Kobe shot clock was set up by the start of play with a crime. Seven games against elite defensive team during a method for its success is not. It was also against the C is the first time around, the Lakers Kobe going to stop the ball more is needed, it came off screens to catch run, whether or dribble it off shooting guards to attack allow. Its success so directly with intermittent but not nearly enough was almost always.

Kobe better off when he caught the ball after operation, absurdly unguardable is able both move the ball effectively and almost any shot he wants, especially when they get either of the elbow to get the ball close. Often only for his colleagues to watch, get some coaching staff repeatedly emphasized the need to effect not so fast ball that is a problem. For coach, different types of stress continue, and matchups and able to make movement possible is forward.

I rarely eat Kobe Lakers – and the role to begin campaigns. The most ludicrously effective. But for the Lakers Boston esque – more than defense against the entire series will be successful, it can not play in the playbook. He was shown on Thursday night over a variety of needs.

Current Tv

Current Tv:

Keith Olbermann, the controversial broadcaster MSNBC that abruptly went out last month, announced Tuesday morning that he had this spring, joining Current TV, a little looking, but fast-growing cable outlet founded by former Vice President Al Gore and legal entrepreneur Joel Hyatt.

Olbermann, who will have as yet untitled night programs on current and also become the main news and take part in the network, said in a teleconference that he was looking forward to a platform offering “News is produced independently of corporate interference.”

Current, which can be purchased at about $ 60 million cable and satellite television and has 15 million subscribers at the international level, is a privately held company and does not report its financial results. But 6-year-old network through advertising and seeking wider support among cable carriers, as well as a wider audience. Perhaps not coincidentally, the network will offer its “upfront” pre-programming to advertisers on Wednesday, with Olbermann on hiring is expected to be central. “Advertisers will certainly look at Keith as an advertiser-friendly,” Gore told reporters.

Olbermann and his new bosses have offered some details on the new host, although the broadcaster has hinted that he would like “Countdown” show the night view, as demonstrated by the liberal beliefs and newsmakers. “Countdown” was the highest rated offers MSNBC, but the owner is often faced with the management at NBC Universal, before he left abruptly last month. In the midst of the campaign last year, Olbermann was briefly suspended for making donations to Democratic candidates in violation of the policy of NBC.

Olbermann said Tuesday that he did not “want to stay in the parking lot for this kind of integration of environmental news.”

When hiring Olbermann, the current, seemingly swaying in the cable news race, where MSNBC and CNN for a long time to run for the Fox News Channel. Hyatt insisted that the network does not consider itself a player in cable news, even with his new talent on board, but deferred until the details upfront presentation of the network.

This is Gore – the lion’s Democratic Party, won the Nobel Prize for his environmental work – has hired a leading liberal television, seemingly set the current as a base for left-wing opinion. Gore said that he considered himself a “Recovering politician,” but that he was in “substantial agreement” with a view of Olbermann’s.

Olbermann has said little about his quarrel with MSNBC, so he got out of the network. On Tuesday, he vowed that say more about that in the future, but that “it’s not time for that.” The representative of MSNBC said the network would not comment on the new agreement Olbermann’s.

With regard to the current, its leaders believe that hiring Olbermann finally celebrate his entry into the big league of cable television.

As Gore told reporters: “We have more subscribers than it is today was MSNBC when Keith Olbermann began to work on them in 2003.

Bohemian Grove Encampment

After decades of rumors of ritual sacrifice, sinister schemes and other bad behavior at the midsummer Bohemian Grove encampment near Monte Rio, the truth will be revealed tonight on television. Author/sleuth Brad Meltzer reports on the History channel on what his team uncovered on its fact-finding journey to western Sonoma County.  Apparently, the team succeeded in getting itself arrested, presumably for trespassing onto the Bohemian Club of San Francisco’s redwood camp on the Russian River.
What the crew dug up about allegations of dark practices at the Grove, we shall see. Given that “Brad Meltzer’s Decoded” savors issues such as whether aliens came to Earth to coach early humans and whether the Statue of Liberty wears weird symbols placed by a secret society bent on world domination, we might not expect a serious examination into tales of villainy within the Bohemian Grove.
Longtime Grove critic Mary Moore of Camp Meeker was interviewed at length by Meltzer’s people for tonight’s episode.
“I don’t know what to expect,” she said. “It’s a Hollywood thing, which is why I’m not staking my life on it.”

Chicago Blizzard Issued

Chicago Blizzard Issued:

More than foot of snow was expected to hit the northern suburbs of Chicago, between Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, according to Blizzard watch issued by the National Weather Service.

Storm may be one of the five worst storms of Chicago, Chicago Weather Center reports.

“We’re going to measure the total snowfall in feet,” said Ed Fenelon, Meteorologist in the Chicago office of the National Weather Service. The worst conditions are expected between 9 pm Tuesday to 5 am Wednesday, he said.

“Snowfall will be heavy and at times appeared to be less than 100 feet,” Fenelon said. “We expect 2 to 3 inches per hour at the height of the storm. This figure is huge.”

Rapidly accumulating snow will hamper snowplows to keep pace with the storm. Strong winds are expected to worsen conditions.

“Winds are gusting to 40 mph or more, and drifts can add up to as high as 3 or 4 feet,” Fenelon said.

Fenelon said the storm could compare with the infamous blizzard of Chicago, which took place January 26-27, 1967, and as a result of the accumulation of 23 inches. This storm was accompanied by blowing and drifting snow.

In recent history, the storm dumped 21.6 inches, reported in the O’Hare Airport, between 1-3 January 1999.

“It depends on the track of low pressure. If the track a bit further south, it will be harder to south… Lake McHenry and located on the northern periphery of the heavy band of snow was expected,” said Fenelon. “But it would be bad, regardless, because of strong winds and poor visibility.”

The National Weather Service predicts travel will be almost impossible overnight.

More snow is expected along the lake on Wednesday, due to lake effect. The temperature on Wednesday is expected to fall to single digits.

Fenelon said Chicago would not close, but this storm might be an exception.

“It’s one of those storms, which may be the most efficient manner from the comfort of the room,” Fenelon said.

Although precipitation is difficult to predict, Fenelon said the chance of storms is no region is almost zero.

National Weather Service reports that people stock up on food and medicine to the afternoon on Tuesday.

“There can be a time when you will not be able to go out at all. It would be interesting to stuck in the snow without food or water,” said Fenelon.

Here is a breakdown of the major Chicago-area storms to date:

• 23 inches, January 26-27, 1967
• 21.6-inch, 1-3 January 1999
• 19.2-inch, 25-26 March 1930

Obama Seeks Internet Switch To The U.S.

Obama Seeks Internet Switch To The U.S.:

President Obama may have highlighted the need to expand broadband access in his last speech of the Union in the U.S. Congress, but he is also the market of Internet-killing powers, according to a latest news.

Popular news site shows that legislation, which may authorize the President to kill access to what is called today “critical infrastructure” to be re-introduced soon the Senate Judiciary Committee. The main sponsor of the bill is Sen. Susan Collins, Republican ranking member on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. According to news, the proposed legislation does not necessarily allow the president to close the Internet as a whole, and to protect against significant threats of cyber.

Recently, as reported news, Obama took the opportunity during his State of the Union speech to emphasize the need for more reliable high-speed wireless services to meet the growing demands of consumers and organizations, as well as to apply to rural areas.

“Over the next five years, we will make it possible for businesses to deploy a new generation of high-speed wireless coverage to 98 percent of all Americans,” Obama said. “It’s not just fast Internet, and fewer dropped calls. It’s about connecting any part of America in the digital age.”

This is not the first time the president called on to expand broadband access. news reported in June that Obama signed a memorandum calling for the National Telecommunications and Information (NTIA), in cooperation with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), to make 500 megahertz of the spectrum available for fixed and mobile wireless broadband next 10 years.

Thinking that the release of more air would improve America’s economic competitiveness, create jobs and help maintain America’s leadership in technological innovation. Not to mention placing a growing demand today for Iphones, laptops and other mobile devices that connect to the Internet.
