If you needed another example of why Pittsburghers are frustrated with Major League Baseball, take a look at this year's free agent moves and you'll see why. The New York Yankees just got done dropping $243.5 million on C.C. Sabathia and A.J. Burnett, adding the two initialed pitchers to a team that features Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, among others.But back in the world of reality, the Pirates

ATLANTA — So for now, you know Jake Peavy isn’t coming to Atlanta, at least not anytime soon.
And now, you can cross Ryan Dempster off the list, the right-hander opting to stay in Chicago by signing a four-year deal with the Cubs.
Yep, that wish-list for a top-of-the-rotation starter is shrinking like the [...]

ERIN BURNETT On a November 26, 2007, appearance on the MSNBC program Morning Joe, Burnett commented on French President Nicolas Sarkozy's visit to China. After file footage of Sarkozy and George W. Bush was shown, Burnett appeared to refer to Bush as a "monkey" and, after a bemused reaction from show host Joe Scarborough, the "monkey in the middle".

A couple of positives first regarding CC going to The Brew Crew - 1. We don't have to worry about facing him the rest of the year2. It's unlikely that the Brewers will pony up the necessary cash to keep CC long term, so we can sign him after the season and pay only cash and a draft pick.With CC off the board, where else can the Yanks turn to add depth and talent to a rocky 'ro? Well we've already

Harvey Korman, the tall, versatile comedian who won four Emmys for his outrageously funny contributions to “The Carol Burnett Show” and played a conniving politician to hilarious effect in “Blazing Saddles,” died Thursday. He was 81.

It has been 6 months since I first posted on this. Does anyone know what Sears Holdings (SHLD) Eddie Lampert did to CNBC's Erin Burnett? Watch below..
Now, I have never seem a "anchor" with such a snotty almost giddy reaction to a company or its head at news that is less than wonderful. Now, had Lampert been convicted of inside trading or fraud, it would be one thing and more than just
Jesse:Pitcher Sean Burnett was called up on Sunday, and Rule 5 draft pick Evan Meek will be sent down, probably meaning he will leave the organization. Everyone was waiting for this because Burnett was such a high draft pick, and he did so well in Spring Training this season. In AAA, Indy used Burnett as a closer and reliever. He posted a 0.98 ERA and was 1-1 with 3 saves. His K:BB ratio was 15:8. I REALLY like this move. Now we have BOTH of our big prospect pitchers in the majors. They are both middle relievers and spot starters, so now maybe they can work their way up to being in the starting rotation. You know who else did that? Ian Snell, our current number one starter. I think Burnett will excel in his new role. He's got fire in him for not being called up earlier or just making the t

Erin Burnett, who works for NBC was on MSNBC Morning Joe Show when she called President Bush a Monkey! I guess this gives Republicans and Conservative talk show hosts someone else to demonize.
Jesus, what did Sears Holdings (SHLD) Eddie Lampert do to CNBC's Erin Burnett? Did they date when she worked at Goldman Sachs (GS) or did he rebuff her advances? Perhaps she is miffed that she did not get an interview she wanted?
She has been joyously drubbing this quarters performance all day today on CNBC. She does is with this sick little smile on her face too. Odd...
Now, I am not saying this was a good quarter, it sucked. But, Burnett has taking it a bit farther. She spent this...

Hoje reservei um tempinho para visitar o site de algumas agências - dar uma olhada nos portfólios, ver se o visual do site teve alguma mudança, inclusão de algum tipo de ferramenta ou simplesmente obter alguma informação interessante para postar aqui no blog - e quando acessei o site da Leo Burnett, gostei do que vi.
O site da agência está passando por reformulações, portanto, os criativos online da agência tiveram que desenvolver algo para informar os internautas. Com a frase “Mais uma idéia da Leo Burnett está saindo do papel”, um flash interativo e divertido faz você perder alguns segundos no site com apenas um papel em branco e um lápis preto.
A simplicidade da idéia e da execução chamaram, e muito, a minha atenção. Simplicidade deveria ser regra básica para tudo que criamos.
Update: O Rafael Amaral do blog Sem Rótulo, deixou uma dica nos comentários que nos dá a idéia de como, provavelmente, será a reformulação do site da Leo Burnett Bras
There are two different approaches to an advertisement as can be sen from the illustration.An ad like Reliance Mobile 'Rang Barse' ad with different people dancing in rain with various colours falls under the Burnett philosophy.
Leo Burnett Manila ecstatically received its returning, conquering heroes, whose recent silver medal victory in the Young Creatives Competition in Cannes Lion, the world’s largest and most prestigious advertising festival, did the nation proud. With only 27 hours to conceptualize and execute a print ad for a group called "Right to Play," an organization that aims to help children in war-stricken countries through sports and games, the under-28 team of Mela Advincula and Nonie Tobias came through with an ad showing children running from attack with the Right to Play logo, doubling as a ball, placed right where the action was. Bob Scarpelli, Cannes jury president for press and film and the chairman and chief creative officer of DDB Worldwide, described the Filipinos’s work as "a powerful demonstration of children’s right to play sports during wartime.The way the logo was used as a ball in the execution made a difference." The duo’s win was also the first for the country after thr
Hollyoaks is getting exciting now, with both John Paul (James Sutton) and Craig Dean (Guy Burnett) due to be caught out. Next week the guys get caught out by two people, and it rapidly goes down hill from there. There is some talk of Craig proposing to Sarah in order to protect himself, but thats a bit pointless when two other people know that Craig is having a relationship with John Paul. I could go into much more details but there is enough information about it on the net, that I won't spoil it here. Here are some screen captures from Yesterdays first look in which they get caught kissing. And a topless picture of James Sutton, just because hes hot. I may post spoilers later, depends on whether I change my mind.

BLACKSBURG, Va. — It was so easy for a madman to buy a gun.
So he armed himself with two.
As American as Apple Pie is how one leftist Italian newspaper has described the final result of that deal.
The man who sold Cho Seung-Hui one of those weapons, which the young student would use to execute 32 students and staff here on Monday, yesterday recalled the $571 sale of a Glock handgun as rather “unremarkable.”

Blue Jays SP A.J. Burnett allowed four runs and four hits with three walks in 4 1/3 innings Sunday against the Astros. "The pitches started getting up around an 80-pitch count so I am sure I got a little fatigued," he said. "I made some good pitches, worked a lot of changeups and curveballs in there, so I came out with a healthy start." Burnett allowed just one hit over the first four innings before yielding all four runs in the fifth. Toronto manager John Gibbons was pleased with Burnett's work. "He got a little tired in the end, but he is supposed to," Gibbons said. "He was getting up there in his pitches, but that's what spring training is for." Burnett is now 0-1 with a 4.35 ERA through 10 1/3 innings. He also has nine strikeouts. Consider Burnett an injury-risk ace who has the potential to have a breakthrough season. We've been saying that for years, but he is another year removed from Tommy John surgery and this is the best team on paper he has ever pitched for. Source: CBS S
Reality television producer Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Apprentice) and Touched by an Angel actress Roma Downey got engaged over the holiday weekend, PEOPLE has confirmed.
"The couple has never been happier," their rep, Jim Dowd, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "They're sharing their joy and excitement with their children and their families."
Burnett, 46, got down on his knee and proposed to Downey, 46, on a moonlit beach in Zihuatanejo, Mexico, where the couple were spending a Thanksgiving vacation.
