Dolan still has confidence in Knicks coach Thomas
The Suns' Grant Hill on how Orlando has been revitalized under coach Stan Van Gundy: "We didn't get the right coaching there. I think we under-performed the last few years." Nice slap at former Magic coach Brian Hill, who is now an assistant in New Jersey helping Lawrence Frank do the same thing to the Nets.
Has Shaq's star finally faded?
With fan voting concluding today, Shaquille O'Neal's streak making an All-Star roster appears all but over. Orlando's Dwight Howard has a 2-1 lead in the voting, and Toronto's Chris Bosh is expected to be selected by coaches as the reserve center. O'Neal has been selected to the All-Star Game every year there has been one during his 15-year career. The exception was the lockout-shortened 1999 season.
Heat coach Pat Riley is perhaps the only person in the NBA who believes Shaq deserves consideration based on his body of work.
Businessman Behind Bid For SPL Club Exposed As Pimp
A TYCOON trying to buy an SPL football club can today be exposed as a sleazy pimp luring women into prostitution. Neil MacGregor, 35, claims to be a wealthy ex-SAS officer with a bodyguard firm protecting Hollywood stars. Last week he launched a multi-million pound bid for Inverness Caledonian Thistle after a similar approach to Third Division Elgin City flopped. But we can reveal that MacGregor operates an internet escort agency hiring Scots girls to sell sex in the US porn industry. He was snared after trying to groom a Sunday Mail reporter, posing as a recruit, for a life of vice. Our investigator, who provided a fake CV and photo, agreed to meet MacGregor at Crieff Hydro Hotel in Perthshire but he fled after being confronted.
Jeff Thelen's Blog
Hi everybody. I'm back from really slacking off from the blog over the holidays. This week, it's just a few random thoughts. How many people are sick at your home, office or school? Seems like everyone in this newsroom is fighting some sort of bug right now. My symptoms are a sore throat, tiredness and aches and pains. I have no congestion, but my nose only runs at night. Wierd, isn't it? Alison Struve blows her nose so much she sounds like a foghorn. Stephanie Luisier and chief photographer Randy Bise both have that "sick sound" when they talk. Was it just me or did the Badgers seem a little unfocused and unprepared for their bowl game? Perhaps it's the long layoff between their last regular season game and the contest on January 1. It was a sort of a fun game to watch, even if it was rather sloppily played.
Grieving Father Tells Of Nightmare
Brian Aim, 51, said he, his wife Peggy, also 51, and son Alan, 23, have been living through a constant nightmare ever since officers broke the news at his Orkney home. "It's felt as though we're watching a bad film on the television and could we not change channels?" he said. "But we're stuck on this channel for the rest of our lives. "We just wish that we could change over, instead of this absolute nightmare that we're going through." He said the full reality of what has happened would not sink in until Karen's body is returned home to Orkney. "We don't believe it's happened yet," said Mr Aim, who works as a joiner in Holm, Orkney. "It's beginning to register now that the house is half-full of flowers and sympathy cards. We are beginning to realise something is happening." Mr Aim described how his daughter had "landed on her feet" on her second visit to New Zealand, where she had been working at a glass-blowing gallery in the resort town.
Clinton notches win, Romney rolls to big victory in Nevada caucuses
Nevada's caucuses were moved up this year to bring more attention to Latino and Western issues, and yesterday's contest was the first test of the Democratic candidates' relative strength among Hispanics. For Republicans, the Nevada results were predictable. With 98 percent of the precincts reporting, Romney had about 52 percent of the vote to about 13 percent for both Senator John McCain of Arizona and Representative Ron Paul of Texas. Romney had been favored in recent polls, buoyed in part by the state's substantial Mormon population. An Associated Press entrance poll indicated that Romney had received nine out of 10 Mormon votes. And while other candidates headed to battle it out in South Carolina, Romney campaigned hard in Nevada. Romney learned of his Nevada victory while flying on his chartered campaign jet from Las Vegas to Florida, the next GOP battleground.
