| Rep. Ben Swan's campaign kicks off/ Mayor should hide his head | | 2008-06-20 08:44:30 | | My sister and I went down to the Keg Room late Thursday afternoon to go to Ben's first fundraiser of the season. I'd call it a successful event-- maybe a hundred people, a minimum of speeches, and enough food to keep people happy.I ran into Juan Gerena, director of the Puerto Rican Cultural Center, and we chatted for a while. I told him I thought it was a good move to cancel the Puerto Rican Festival this year. He said that if people didn't behave at this year's Puerto Rican parade, it would be the last year for the parade, also."We've got too much other important business to spend our time and energy on a festival right now," he said.Juan asked how come I wasn't at Springfield's legislatively-sponsored hearing about Gov. Patrick's proposed bill for Springfield. (I was in Boston all day for my job.) The bill, which will take the form of a binding referendum on November 4th's election ballot, proposes an extension of our $52 million loan from the state to twelve years from our curre | | By: Michaelann Land | | |

| Honeymoon Kicks Off to a Rocky Start | | 2008-06-05 13:12:00 | | We had some bad airplane food (on Luftansa), after being delayed over an hour for take-off. We've finally arrived at our ship - Princess Emerald, leaving from the port in Venice, and we're having issues getting internet access. We were lead to believe that wireless would be free although spotty, but we are now being told it will cost 75 cents per minute (some packages available). We hope to have this resolved as we have just spent time that should have been enjoying Venice, on trying to get wireless access. We hope to be getting food reviews and photos up for you soon.

Few of us dismiss the value of this feel, but most will agree that it is quite refreshing, a positive take on it.

But this is not a fish, pop corn or a gas this actually is the baby. As the baby continues to develop he/she will flex and stretch his limbs. These early movements are somewhat erratic.

| New Labour kicks back at the poor! | | 2008-04-07 05:34:58 | | Whatever I may think of the New Labour regime, I always imagined they might keep some semblance of socialist thinking in their brains when it came to helping the poor. Under Blair, this wretched party grovelled around dubious millionares, sought the affections of pop stars and celebrities, and generally got about the business of making sure their own troughs were full first.But watching John Hutton on television trying to say that the decision to abolish the lowest income tax band wouldn't be that bad, I thought I can't wait to see them put out to grass. Hopeless is not the word for them!Low income families are going to be hard hit. They are going to have to face up to annual income losses of between £50 and £300. Some kind of socialism!

| Lou Piniella kicks ass | | 2008-04-04 23:29:00 | | Lou Piniella, during his press conference prior to the game today, had this to say...
After Thursday’s game, Piniella joked he would “start calling you (writers) all night when I make my lineups” to get our suggestions.
“Then if you don’t like it you can blames yourselves,” he said.
I waited by my phone all night Thursday but never got a call.
On Friday morning I asked Piniella if he had called any of the reporters to ask for their lineups.
“No, but I’m going to ask that you all call me before you write your articles,” he said with a laugh. “And I’ll give you all some pointers, and we’re even.”
So, Lou, do Chicago reporters obsess about the Cubs lineups?
“I’ve never really had all this many questions about lineups,” he said. “I think you all fantasize about lineups at night. I really do. It’s the damndest thing I’ve ever seen.”

She has replaced Charmy from working as brand ambassador. The popular Mobile Showroom has now hired Trisha after associating with Charmy since its launch. It is said that Charmy is demanding more for the extension of her contract and hence the Big C people assumed that they can change the ambassador for ever instead of changing the pay pack. And hence they have pulled in Trisha now with a hiked up package indeed. Trisha will be at Himayatnagar in Hyderabad to do some promotional work. Right now Trisha is busy with 'Bujjigadu Made In Chennai' with Prabhas.

| Commander Kicks Tribe Ass | | 2007-10-19 18:09:00 | | Josh Beckett's reputation as a big-game pitcher took a giant leap forward last night as he put the Red Sox on his back and pitched eight sensational innings as the Red Sox won, 7-1 and forced the ALCS back to Boston for a Game 6.Commander Kick Ass allowed a run in the first on two base hits and a double play. But that was all he would allow. Cleveland put two men on in the fifth with two outs, but he struck out Asdrubal Cabrera to end the threat.Earlier in that inning, Beckett got into a shouting match with Kenny Lofton after Lofton dropped his bat thinking he had gotten ball four. He flied out on the next pitch as Beckett yelled at him. Lofton cursed back at him, and started walking toward him after he touched first base. Benches emptied but no punched were thrown. (Good job by Fox after the game showing the history between them. In 2005, Beckett was shown jawing with Lofton after he did that ridiculous bat flip after walking in a game between the Marlins and Phillies.) It was at that point that Beckett drew a line in the sand, and basically told the Indians, "You ain't getting s**t off me now!"(The Indians even tried to pull a Yankee-like stunt by bringing in Danielle Peck, a country singer and former girlfriend of Beckett's, to sing the National Anthem. They claim to know nothing about their relationship, and it was just a coincidence. Yeah, right. The Commander was not amused, and not at all rattled.)Kevin Youkilis hit a home run in the first to get it going, and I had a feeling this was going to be the Red Sox night. (My buddy Eric was also wearing his lucky 2003 Syracuse NCAA Champions shirt, one he wore throughout the Red Sox historic eight-straight win postseason as well. So I knew that Game 6 was going to be a reality.)The umps blew yet another big call when a ball Manny Ramirez hit bounced off the top of the right field wall and back on the field and was ruled in play. it drove in David Ortiz but it should have been a home run because hit went passed the yellow line on the wall. I know it;s like beating a dead horse, but MLB umpiring continues to be incredibly awful. That call cost the Sox a run, but fortunately not the game.The Red Sox tacked on two runs in the seventh and three in the eighth to put the game away. But the story was Beckett, who continues to be "The Anti-Clemens." (Josh now has three times as many postseason wins than Clemens had in his Red Sox postseason career, and in just three starts.)There will now be a Game 6 at Fenway Park on Saturday night, with Fausto Carmona facing Curt Schilling. There have been four Game 6s at Fenway in its history, and the Red Sox have won them all: the 1918 World Series against the Cubs (and the Sox won the Series with that game), 1967 World Series against St. Louis, the 1975 World Series that featured Pudge Fisk's blast and the 1986 ALCS blow out over the Angels.So how did Schilling do in his last "Game 6?"Only two words will answer that question: bloody sock. | | By: The Mighty Quinn Media Machine | | |

| AN AMERICAN WARNING - PRESIDENT OF IRAN KICKS IT UP A BIT | | 2007-09-22 16:53:00 | | “Threats and economic sanctions will not stop Iran's technological progress”, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Saturday at a large parade featuring fighter jets and radar-avoiding missiles designed to show off the country's military might.
"Those (countries) who assume that decaying methods such as psychological war, political propaganda and the so-called economic sanctions would work and prevent Iran's fast drive toward progress are mistaken," Ahmadinejad said at the parade.
Ahmadinejad comments come as discussions continue by the United States and its European allies over a third round of U.N. Security Council sanctions against Iran for its refusal to suspend uranium enrichment.
The military parade outside the capital Tehran marked the 27th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of Iran that sparked the bloody 1980-88 war.

| Edwards Kicks off Poverty Tour | | 2007-07-16 13:38:00 | | Does anybody else find the idea of a poverty tour kind of odd? If poverty is a big issue you want to address, wouldn't taking the fat loads of money you're spending to tour poverty stricken areas and donating to feed said poverty striken people a better idea?I know I don't need to say this, but it's just another photo opportunity, plain and simple. Instead of trying to help people that are poverty stricken, why don't we get them jobs and offer them low income housing? Oh wait, we have the welfare system, nevermind.As long as we have a system in place that makes it too easy for people to not work and make money, we're always going to have 'poverty' issues. Let's help empower people and get them employed, which in turn would more than likely get them health care as well.Seems like a good many of the issues Mr. Edwards is concerned about would quickly dissapear, and the kicker is it would probably cost less tax payer dollars to do so instead of hemmoraging money to support those that really don't want to work anyways. | | By: The Dissident Awakens | | |

| K-Lew’s Kicks of the Month | | 2007-05-24 20:04:42 | | Our resident style expert Kevin Lew took a bit of time out of his hectic schedule to put together a quick piece on the latest Kicks making their way to a store near you.
Without further adieu…
“Thanks Kemp. We all know Gilbert Arenas has game. And we all know his Washington Wizards could’ve beaten LeBron’s bunch if Agent Number Zero wasn’t hurt. That’s pretty much common knowledge. But what a lot of folks did not know, was that those loud and colorful kicks Gilbie was wearin during the stretch run of the season (that didn’t even match the Wizards color scheme) would be releasing.
Well, these must-have limited kicks are a collaboration between Adidas and our good friends over at Undr-Crwn. This Undr-Crwn edition of the Adidas Gil-Zero is featured in the Starting Five Collection, which also includes limited edition signature kicks of NBA Superstars Kevin Garnett, Tracy McGrady, Chauncey Billups, and Tim Duncan.
The entire collection is being released on June 1st. | | By: Ponder This | | |

Jessie Street, near the Old U.S. Mint on Fifth Street, is the site of a $3.5 million renovation project.
SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - Starting today, drivers will no longer be allowed on a portion of Jessie Street near the Old U.S. Mint in downtown San Francisco, as work begins to turn the roadway into a pedestrian-only space for outside dining, music festivals and farmers markets.
The San Francisco-based Martin Building Co. has been working for two years to develop the 290-foot-long stretch of Jessie between Mint and Fifth streets into a European-style piazza called the Mint Plaza.As part of the plan, Jessie will be closed to vehicle traffic. Construction on the Mint Plaza will begin next week, and the plan is to open the new 18,000-square-foot public space in September.
“It’s a pretty beat-up street. There’s not a single tree,” said Michael Yarne, director of development at Martin Building Co., which owns four of the nearby buildings. “ | | By: San Francisco New Developments | | |
