More links on marriage equality in Iowa - (USA)
It's day four for legal same-sex marriage in Iowa, and I still haven't seen any reports of couples being refused a marriage license anywhere in the state. The Des Moines Register reported that about 350 same-sex couples received marriage licenses on Monday, the day the Iowa Supreme Court's ruling in Varnum v Brien went into effect. More than half of those applications were in five large counties: Polk (Des Moines area), Johnson (Iowa City), Linn (Cedar Rapids), Pottawattamie (Council Bluffs) a

What Type Of Wristwatch Should I Buy? - (USA)
by Debra Brian Hunt Wrist watches are a fashion statement for men and go along with the look they choose for themselves. They reflect their personality and show their taste in fashion accessories. The problem is that there are too many wrist watches in the markets and it’s very hard to choose the one that would both serve the purpose of telling time and make a fashion statement at the same time. The most apparent question while buying a wrist watch would be to first know the purpose of purch

A Right to Be Punished? - (USA)
From the Department of Paradoxes in Sporting Jurisprudence: Last Saturday night, at the end of the NBA playoff basketball game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Denver Nuggets, Antoine Wright of the Mavericks broke the rules. He intentionally collided with Carmelo Anthony of the Nuggets, who had possession of the basketball, in a play that ordinarily would produce a whistle from the officiating crew and a stoppage in play. That was Wright’s objective. At the instruction of the Mavericks’ co

Baseball Drills For Your Little Leaguer - (USA)
by Chris Campbell If you’ve been lucky enough to have an opportunity to try and hit a fastball pitched by a professional, or semi-professional pitcher, then you know how hard it can be. There have been a few crossover athletes, that move between baseball and other sports, that have tried their hand at doing just that. Micheal Jordan for instance was only able to bat around 200 when he played for a professional farm team. I don’t think he ever performed that low on a basketball court for

The slipperiness of the rules - (USA)
The ever-thoughtful Arnold Zwicky has written at Language Log about the problems inherent in the “attempt to regulate publication practices rigidly.” That is, the structure at newspapers and other publications at which “writers are expected to adhere to the prescribed practices, and editors are expected to correct them when they don't." The first problem he mentions is the sheer quantity of choices in such an effort: [T]here are alternative styles used by different writers on different occasi

Encourage your kids to be more active - (USA)
As a parent, you can help shape your child's attitudes and behaviors toward physical activity, and knowing these guidelines is a great place to start.

Here are some ways you can do this: Set a positive example by leading an active lifestyle yourself. Make physical activity part of your family's daily routine by tak

Day 3, Tel Aviv ... and no LeBron James sighting - (USA)
TEL AVIV, Israel - While chatting with Omri Casspi's brother, Eitan, at the family's home in the southern suburbs of the city, the Kings rookie grabbed his laptop to see if the NBA schedule had been released. He was about six hours early - and sure to be disappointed. His friends have all been wondering where he would make his NBA debut. He was hoping for a game in Sacramento or Cleveland against LeBron James. But no such luck. Instead, he gets a trip to Oklahoma City and a three-game road trip.

Me and Michael (Phelps) - (USA)
I have (on very few occasions) met Olympic athletes in the past, usually people who competed on the U.S. Olympic team many years prior to our encounters. Their Olympic careers were pleasant memories by then, but not the defining characteristic of their lives. Today, for the first time, I met someone who is not only a current competitor, but the person who represents Olympic competition and success more than any other: Olympic gold-medal winner Michael Phelps, who has participated in three Oly

Falcons Fans Slowly Warming to White QB - (USA)
Black Michael Vick devotees have begun returning to the Georgia Dome to root on the Atlanta Falcons, a pastime many gave up when Vick went to jail for funding a dog torturing operation. According to an informal New York Times poll conducted in the Georgia Dome parking lot, black turnout for Falcons games dropped significantly when Number 7 went away to prison: "There’s more white people in the crowd now. When Vick was in there, it was almost totally black." Now that the Falcons, led by whit

Behind the Release: Body of Lies - (USA)
A couple of weeks ago I though it would be an interesting idea to write a bit more in depth about how films are made and released at UK cinemas. Hopefully, this series of posts will give you more insight into the development, production and release of films in this country, ranging from big budget Hollywood productions to more arthouse fare. First up for consideration is Body of Lies which is the big release this week from a major Hollywood studio, in this case Warner Bros. Based on the no

ESPN, NFL And U.S. Marines Crack Down On Twitter Use - (USA)
Twitter may have opened up the hour-to-hour lives of sports stars like Shaquille O'Neal and Lance Armstrong for public consumption, but ESPN, the NFL and the U.S. Marines all see the social-networking site as a potential liability. Within the last week, those organizations all enacted measures to control and prohibit their employees' and soldiers' tweets, and consequences now range from watchful censorship to immediate dismissal.

Putting Youth Social Networking Activities and Safety in Perspective - (USA)
I’ve spent a lot of time in recent years trying to debunk various myths about online child safety or at least put those risks into perspective. Too often, press reports and public policy initiatives are being driven by myths, irrational fears, or unjustified “moral panics.” Luckily, the New York Times reports that there’s another study out this week that helps us see things in a more level-headed light. This new MacArthur Foundation report is entitled Living and Learning with New Media: Summar
