Steven Spielberg to make “Halo” Movie - (USA)
IESB are reporting a considerably exciting rumor that Steven Spielberg has taken over development on the Halo movie that Peter Jackson previously tried to make. They’re saying they’ve confirmed this “with studio executives and our close ties to CAA” and that it’s legit. Let’s not forget that Jackson and Spielberg are working together on Tintin, so they’ve probably had plenty of time to talk about bringing one of the greatest video games in history to the big screen. via: Firstshowin

Debt and the Fog of Numbers - (USA)
One of main reasons behind the vast confusion now reigning in the USA, our failure to construct a coherent consensus about what is happening to us (or what to do about it), is our foolish obsession with econometrics — viewing the world solely through the “lens” of mathematical models. We think that just because we can measure things in numbers, we can make sense of them. For decades we measured the health of our economy (and therefore of our society) by the number of “housing starts” recorded

2009 World Series Predictions - (USA)
If you go strictly by the MLB odds , we are looking at a World Series between the New York Yankees (+225 odds to win the World Series) and the LA Dodgers (+450) , both the favorites in their respective leagues. If history has shown us anything, however, it’s that the favorites don’t always win, especially when it comes to baseball. Major League Baseball is one of the most difficult sports to predict in terms of futures bets , because the season and the playoffs are so long. There’s also

Let’s Talk About Shortstop - (USA)
For all the talk flying around about CC Sabathia, Manny Ramirez, and whether we should prefer a winning baseball team or helping children, it’s really looking more and more likely that shortstop is going to be the most important decision the Dodgers have to make this offseason. With Rafael Furcal sounding like he’s all but a memory (likely to the A’s or Giants), Chin-Lung Hu hardly impressive in 2008, and Ivan DeJesus, Jr. not ready to be handed the Opening Day gig, the Dodgers are going to ha

Lakers/Rockets Game 6 Recap - (USA)
by Adam Sweeney “You got no time for the messenger, got no regard for the thing that you don’t understand, you got no fear of the underdog, that’s why you will not survive!” Spoon- “The Underdog” Somebody should post those lyrics on L.A.’s bulletin board. After Game 6, they would probably hold a lot of meaning. Game 6 offered the L.A. Lakers a chance to end the underdog Houston Rockets’ season. Coming off a 40 point victory, you had to think that the Lakers felt they had the advant

The Quad Countdown: No. 109 Kent State - (USA)
Matt Sullivan/Reuters Kent State running back Eugene Jarvis is taken down by Ohio State defenders Daniel Herron and James Laurinaitis in October 2007.Location: Kent, Ohio.Nickname: Golden Flashes. The first of what will be six Golden nicknames.Last year’s ranking: No. 99. What was said: Opponents will focus on stopping Eugene Jarvis, so if the Flashes can find a quarterback who can at least make teams think about getting burned by the pass, this team could be a real sleeper in the MAC. That is

Learn to Make Sushi On Your DS - (USA)
I love sushi, so when I saw the press release for this title it piqued my interest. It supposedly teaches you the art of preparing sushi (over 35 unique dishes) with interactive challenges throughout the game. Apparently you have to race against the clock to prepare some of these dishes. Now, I’m all for pseudo-games like this, especially ones that attempt to inform people around the world of different cultures and foods. However, I worry that this game will make sushi preparation look quick

West Virginia: Coldest USF game ever? - (USA)
The news that USF's regular-season finale Saturday at West Virginia will have an 8 p.m. kickoff begs a chilling question: Will this be the coldest football game in Bulls history? The Bulls have only played two games with temperatures below 40 degrees at kickoff -- they won at Pittsburgh last season in 35 degree weather, and lost at Connecticut in 2005 in a game that was 33 degrees at kickoff, dropping into the 20s during the game. The 10-day forecast at Weather.com has Saturday with a high of

Double Dose of Double-A: Akron Aeros Bi-Monthly Review 8/9/09 - (USA)
After changing this feature from every week to every two weeks and now effectively to every two months, I have decided to return to action on my last day as an Aeros employee. It has been an incredible summer working alongside one of the most successful minor league baseball teams in the past decade, as Akron is well on pace to become the first team in the 86-year history of the Eastern League to ever win 80 games in five straight seasons. The Aeros are also looking for a fifth consecutive South

NFL Week 13 - (USA)
We've passed another milestone in the football season, that being the traditional Thanksgiving games, and we watch as the calendar prepares to make its inexorable march into December. With that comes bone chilling temperatures, frigid winds, snow and ice, and a true test of fortitude for those teams with even the faintest heartbeat of playoff hopes. It also is the final stages in a lost season for some teams, some with high expectations, some who hoped to make an impact, others who continue

The Jiu Jitsu Theory of Education - (USA)

What we have now does a dozen things reasonably well… but helping students learn isn’t one of them. Thankfully, I recently came across a model of teaching that REALLY works! My Jiu Jitsu club. I joined up at the beginning of October. And now, after two months, I figured out what they do so well. And a lot of the things could be transf

Did the Team That Later Played in the Silverdome Wear Gold Domes? - (USA)
Got a really interesting communiqué the other day from reader Matthew Earl , as follow: I was interested in getting something that had the Lions’ new logo/helmet on it, so I was lured in by this T-shirt , which I mail-ordered as a unique uni item. (For clarification, the dates under each helmet read, from left to right: 1950, 1960, 1983, 2003, and Present). The obvious question I have for you is this: What’s the deal with the 1950 gold helmet? I had assumed that licensed clothing is accur
