CARNAC-Donald Trump,The GroundHog and Facebook?

Name three things in the news now that are trying to GRAB the media attention!

Donald Trump,The GroundHog and Facebook


Donald Trump: Ok I will admit it. I have read his books. You got to love a guy who files for bankruptcy two times and banks STILL lend him money. Now you and I couldn't get a bank to give us a toaster for opening an account anymore, but the Donald has them lining up to pour money into anything he wants to do. No trickle down here!
His lame and I mean LAME presidential bid,He had NO intention of running because you then would have to make a full financial disclose and that is taboo for the Donald. So now today, February 2, 2012 he is set to hold a press conference as he tweeted below, to announce who he is endorsing in the republican 2012 presidential race. He is st to announce it at 12:30pst in "Sin City" Las Vegas at his  Trump International Hotel & Tower,drumming up some business while he's at it. The man knows ho to garner publicity.
Who will he endorse? Well late last night the news agency AP said it would be Newt Gingrich BUT early this morning they quickly did a mea culpa saying it will be Mitt Romney now. Either way they will be right! SMART!

The GroundHog That's right, It's GroundHog Day. I have a friend who sayss that this is his favorite holiday!
Every year on February 2 the little rodent is plucked from his hole at the crack of dawn and asked the famous question, "Early spring or six more weeks of winter".

Here's the scorecard:

 Punxsutawney Phil 'predicts' six more weeks of winter

(THE most famous of them all)

Staten Island Chuck: Early spring in sight

(more famous for biting the NYC Mayor Bloomberg's  fingers in 2009)

FACEBOOK Ok, in my opinion it is the biggest wast of time man or Mark Zuckerberg, Here is his Google+ page, ever created. We are ALL just on it because everyone else is!
We all watched the picture, "The Social Network", which portrayed Mark as a Lying, cheating, steeling.....well a "really bad person".
Is that truth, It's Holloywood so it must be.
Never the less now he is taking "HIS"? company public announcing a staggering IPO of $5 Billion Filing to Sell Stock in May. 
The "STREET" as they say always thought Facebook was NOT making money, but now we hear Facebook, along the way, has made a lot of money. It revealed in today's filing that in 2011 it had profits of $1 billion on sales of $3.7 billion.
WHAT! All for status updates as to what socks I will wear or how my girlfriend dumped me!??

But Facebook said in its IPO paperwork that its own internal valuation puts their current value at $29.73 per share.
Should you BUY!? I just might take a flyer on this one!

Sneak Peak - 2012 Super Bowl Commercials

One of the best things about the NFL Super Bowl, besides the Game, Halftime show and the cheerleaders....ahhh....is the "Commercials". That's right the Super Bowl Commercials have become short 1 or 2 or sometimes 3 minute mini shows that each year get bigger and more entertaining.

The years Super Bowl 46ads promise to be equally as special with spots now according to executives from Comcast Corp's NBC television network, which will broadcast the Feb. 5 football game, a 30-second commercial slot cost $3.5 million on average this year, up from $3 million for last year's Super Bowl, which was on News Corp's Fox station.

I'll add more when available.

It's not often an ad can make you cry and this one won't either, but it is kind of sad that Priceline is dumping William Shatner as its spokesman. The timing is good, though, for setting up a new creative motif in the Super Bowl.

Giants WIN Super Bowl 46: Now get 2 Parades in New York & New Jersey

So the New Jersey / New York Giants won Super Bowl 46 beating the New England Patriots 21-17.

Now the battle as to where the parade's will be! 

There will be TWO. 

PARADE #1 = NEW YORK

The Super Bowl victory parade will step off at Battery Place and Washington Street at 11 a.m., heading northbound up the stretch of Broadway known as the Canyon of Heroes, to Worth Street, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced. The parade will be followed by a ceremony at City Hall Plaza, where the mayor will present the Giants with keys to the city.

PARADE #2 = New Jersey

Following the ceremony, the Giants will board busses and return to New Jersey, where Giants players, coaches and owners and Gov. Chris Christie will celebrate the title in the team’s home, MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford New Jersey.

Parking Lots F and G will be open to the public beginning at 11 a.m. and the stadium gates will open three hours later. The celebration on the MetLife Stadium field is expected to run from 3-3:30 p.m. Concession stands will be open.

Gov. Chris Christie announced the rally at MetLife Stadium in a tweet today, saying "All Giants fans in NJ should be there if you can." 

 In what was a riveting game on Sunday January 22, 2012 between the New York New Jersey Giants and the San Francisco 49ers, the Giants won on mistakes on two punt return fumbles by Kyle Williams.

Eli Manning was not the hero as he has been in so many fourth quarters this season.

In a game marked by incredible defense by both teams, the Giants held the 49ers to an unbelievable 1-13 8% on third down conversions, the 49ers D held the Giants to 7-21 33%.

In the end though it was two big mistakes by the 49ers Kyle Williams in the fourth quarter that lead to two turnovers for the Giants that won the game for them. Both on punts, one he should have stayed away from but the ball did grazed ever so slightly his knee (see photo).

The other he did not have full grasp of the ball and Giants' Jacquian Williams took advantage knocking the ball loose leading to the OT field goal by Lawrence Tynes (photo).

Kenny Williams the father of Kyle said on Monday that his son was receiving death threats and also said that his son was spending Monday getting treatment for a shoulder injury he suffered during the third quarter.


Now the Giants go on to play the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 46.


But too me I ask the question, Are they the "NEW YORK" or the "NEW JERSEY" Giants?


Lets look at the facts as to team history :

• Polo Grounds (1925–1955) NY
• Yankee Stadium (1956–1973) NY
• Yale Bowl (1973–1974) CT
• Shea Stadium (1975) NY
• Giants Stadium (1976–2009) NJ
• MetLife Stadium (2010–present) NJ

 They played there last game in New York in 1975 playing in She Stadium because Yankee Stadium was under going renovations. They then moved across the Hudson River in 1976 to the New Jersey Medowlands  Meadowlands in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Since their move to New Jersey in 1976, fans from each state have claimed the team as their own. In January 1987, shortly before the team won Super Bowl XXI, then New York City mayor Ed Koch labeled the team "foreigners" and said they were not entitled to a ticker-tape parade in New York City. On February 5, 2008, the city, under mayor Michael Bloomberg, threw a ticker tape parade in honor of the Giants' Super Bowl XLII victory at the Canyon of Heroes in lower Manhattan.

A separate rally was held at Giants Stadium in East rutherford New Jersey.

According to a team spokesman, 52 percent of the Giants' season ticket-holders lived in New Jersey. Most of the remaining ticket holders lived in New York State with some coming from other states.

The Giants now not only play in New Jersey but have now built a state of the art training facility, The  Timex Performance Center in East Rutherford. There corporate offices are now all in New Jersey. As well as most players, coaches and those that are employed by them live in New Jersey. Alll the tax money generated does not benefit New York in any way.

The Giants are NEW YORK in name only!

BUT, they wont change it. Even though Gov. Chris Christie came out and said," If the Giants win the Super Bowl any parade should be held in NEW JERSEY. The only reason they keep the NEW YORK in Giants is marketing and selling merchandise to those fans who still believe they have a New York Football team!

Wake up NEW YORK! You only have ONE professional football team in your state, THE BUFFALO BILLS!

STOP SOPA - Contact your Member of Congress

 

SOPA is the Stop Online Piracy Act, now pending in the House of Representatives, and PIPA – or the Protect IP Act – is a companion bill now pending in the Senate.

SOPA and PIPA are designed to crack down on websites based offshore that peddle illegal content  — think pirated Hollywood blockbusters and fake Viagra. No one disputes that that’s a worthy goal. The rub is whether it would give the government and copyright holders too much control over the Web.

Here’s how it would work: If the Justice Department or a copyright holder believed a site was directing users to pirated content, they would go to court. Depending on who’s complaining, different remedies would come into play: In some instances a judge could order an Internet service provider like Verizon to cut off access to a site. In others, a search engine like Google could be directed to delete links to an infringing site. The idea is to starve the offending sites of the web traffic that keeps them in business.

Google and First Amendment scholars like Harvard’s Lawrence Tribe argue that SOPA would squelch free speech by giving private parties power to effectively cripple sites that allegedly — but not conclusively — steal copyrighted content. The simple filing of a complaint, they say, would exert huge pressure on the Internet ecosystem to blacklist an accused site. They also say it would give the feds dangerous new powers to go after sites for political reasons.
