GUEST POST: Why Canada is Cool - (USA)
The final guest post for my trip out to San Francisco comes from the marvelous Tam, who is just as cool in person as she is online. FIVE REASONS WHY CANADA IS COOL 1. Snow Okay, this is but one reason Canada is literally cool, more like downright frigid. As much as I whine and bitch about snow and cold, it is pretty cool … when I’m inside with a roaring fire and my mostly-nekkid servant boy Juan is serving me strawberry daiquiris on the bear skin rug in front of the fireplace.

What are the Costs for Non-Compliance? - (USA)
I listen to small business owners every day telling me that they don’t have any regulatory problems, the regulations don’t apply to them or that they will never get caught. Yet, I read, every day, about entrepreneurs being put out of business because of regulatory violations. Here are a few examples: According to Small Business California.org “In California, the chances of getting busted are growing as the state cracks down on businesses that wrongly claim employees are independent contr

in the extremes - (USA)
Last week, I couldn’t have been any prouder. There we were, celebrating Cory Aquino, who’s moral compass showed us and the world that prayers and flowers can face tanks and fully armed military men and topple a dictator. It was called People Power. A few years after that, other countries followed suit, using this peaceful uprising called People Power to bring change. Today, I feel a bit embarrassed (and outraged). And it’s all because of GMA. I’ll admit it, I voted her. She was different then.

Chinese sport not giving up the gold standard - (USA)
BEIJING, (Reuters) – China’s success at the Beijing Olympics was a vindication of its state supported sports system and there will be few changes before the London Games in 2012, according to deputy sports minister Cui Dalin. Cui was leader of the China delegation which put the gloss on the Games for the hosts last August by winning 51 golds, 21 silvers and 28 bronzes to top the medals table for the first time. “I felt we benefited from the advantages of our state system,” Cui told R

5 Sports You Never Knew Existed - (USA)
Here are 5 very bizarre, very real sports. The first two you've probably heard of, as they are Olympic sports. And some of these, you've probably actually played. Like this one: 5. Table Tennis: Also known as ping-pong, this sport is a Chinese tradition, and was introduced to the Olympics in summer of 2008. As you can probably guess, the Chinese won the gold in the event. 4. Field Hockey: Also an Olympic sport, field hockey is played on a soccer field. Like ice hockey, the players hold a stick,

Thank You, Jeremy Roenick - (USA)
by Jos Peterson Sure, Roenick polarizes people in hockey circles to a degree few other NHLers have in the league’s history. Even the THN offices has its share of J.R.-loathers; when we caught wind of his looming announcement last week, there weren’t many tears being shed for a player whose best on-ice years ended when his stint as a Philadelphia Flyer did in 2004. But focusing on the guy’s theatrics and dismissing his contributions because you believe all hockey players ought to be brainless

David Stern Pregame Press Conference - (USA)
NBA Commissioner David Stern, in Houston to attend Game 6 of the Lakers-Rockets series, took questions from assembled media members about 25 minutes before the scheduled 8:30 p.m. local tipoff. Predictably, most of the questions from the media tended towards the negative (refs, economy, flagrant fouls), but Stern managed to get a few positive notes in there. Here’s a rough transcription that I typed while he was talking: Q: On if anything’s surprised him thus far: Stern: Obviously when the
