Marlins park Attracts Fans, Continues to Win

Gaby Sanchez is important to hit a home run in the bullpen for the visitors to the right field wall in the second period, and all eyes in the Marlins new park are glued to the big talk about the sculpture Home, fans were expecting It comes to life for the first time.

He did not. Nothing. Just bizarre, carnival-style 70-foot building sits, looking back, in the frozen silence is turned off. This was expected.

Right.

At least they have something to preserve the real opening day, Wednesday.

Have you heard about the Long Goodbye? Introduction to South Florida Marlins in the new stadium in Little Havana was a long hello.

Spring Sunday's game against the Yankees was the fourth of five "easy opening for the new park after the game in high school and two teams split against Marlins uniform exposure and RPF. Another exhibition will follow with the Yankees on Monday night before - in the end - for real value of the first regular season opens on Wednesday evening.

The sculpture will be Home Run for the first time that night, pasta Marlins should be enough to call it animation.

"Soft opening" was smart in terms of gradual preparation of the stadium staff to handle the crowd more and more. Gate Sunday was 27,152 for the Marlins "10-8 loss to New York in the first part of the park between two major league teams.

Monday will be the highest level of 30,000, or about 80 percent of capacity.

But this parade even soft opening a few weeks, but can not make the Opening Day feel a little less special than it would if it was the first time, fans are entered the place. Of course, Marlins themselves have responded to every question imaginable media about the new stadium and are ready to go.

After these two events the Yankees, and then one day match against St. Louis, Marlins hit the road for a week, traveling first to play the Reds.

"It's a crazy week," manager Ozzie Guillen said after the game on Sunday. "After Wednesday I hope we all leave and return to normal life.

"I just want a series of Cincinnati in the future."

He wanted to pass by distracting ads and the three home games, get constant questions about the new stadium, and settle into a rhythm and tempo of the longest season in sports. "

"After these three games, all the rest," as Sanchez on the spot.

Players understand and appreciate that the Marlins "big star right now in the stadium, the novelty and newness of it - Sculpture Home Run kitsch to two 450-gallon aquarium to form a safety net for home plate.

This is the only place in America where the best kind of sport in the house belongs to the flycatcher-wrasse, orange-shoulder, smell, and porkfish redfin butterfly swimming languidly in the circle on the deck.

Two hours before the game, to let the fans, Kevin Mathis Aquarium flowers brushed clean tanks built into the thick glass resistant to errors.

"The ball hit the tank will catch fish, but very briefly," Mathis said. "Just as if a small child knocked on the glass aquarium at home."

In any case, the new watch tropical fish attackers will gradually disappear, as the smell of a new car comes out, that the sculpture gradually Home Run.

Improvements that do not fade, is a retractable roof, which transformed what was a hot humid Sunday for those who like cooking in a pleasant moment in the air conditioned comfort.

It's not just you who love the internal fan alternator. Players do the same.

"That's fine, not changing your sweater all three races," said Sanchez, bottom first.

Catcher John Buck is even used to change his pants during home games. On Sunday, "I think people my knitting feels good and cool now. Sense of Foreign Affairs."

Comfort, eliminating delays and rain curiosity factor of the new stadium is good for the crowd throughout the season, a girl, but over time the story will be less and less and more baseball stadium hosts inside.

Marlins park and a large cost of the manager of the club and star star free agents have made Miami baseball team is "it". Showtime is a chronicle of the team, Marlins star of her reality show franchise. MLB network cameras were there. Baseball Today ESPN will broadcast live from the park on Wednesday. Most preseason prognosticators expected to Miami to the playoffs.

This team must stand up and answer this deception.

Marlins need to win.

The new stadium will be the crowd. The team is responsible for ensuring that the crowd back.

New closer Heath Bell has compared the experience of baptism in the excitement of a new fleet of new car ownership. He should know. Bell went to the 2006 Nissan Altima all until recently when his wife convinced him he needed to treat to attract more "South Beach". So he bought a new Audi R8 sports car.

"It's colorful. This bright. This is Miami," said Bell, which means that both the approximate and machines. "You want to push it, then -. Just try it"

Guillen has chosen a different metaphor.

"It's a new house, new toy. Hopefully, we use the new right toy," said Director of diamonds in Little Havana. "Winning all. Justification ended. You can have a nice house with a beautiful view, but if people in the house stink, it is not beautiful. "

Sunroof and air conditioning will keep fans comfortable Marlins.

Total Recall Remake: Why?

I have a bad feeling about the remake of "Total Recall," the sci-fi thriller that was adapted from Philip K. Dick's 1966 short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale." The1990 movie, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone, was a masterpiece. (And for my money, the best thing Schwarzenegger ever made, with the possible exception of "True Lies.")

The story line hasn't changed. A factory worker, in need of a vacation, heads for a company that can implant memories in the brain. For some excitement, he chooses to adopt the life of a secret agent, but he is quickly drawn into a mystery that melds true and induced memories.

The temptation will be to make the new version -- starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessice Biel -- bigger and splashier, with over-the-top special effects. And judging by the trailer that's where it's headed. But one of the most appealing aspects of the original was that it was relatively simple, at least for science fiction. It left a lot to the viewer's imagination, which was appropriate for a mind-bending movie born from a short story.

The works of Dick (1928-82) have been used as the basis for many movies. Among them "Blade Runner" (based on the novel, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"), "The Adjustment Bureau" ("Adjustment Team") and "Minority Report," ("The Minority Report").

Brands Nations Day of Autism Awareness

Pan teaching colored stickers stuck on several armed children. The stickers have a picture of a child, sitting with his eyes closed in the bottle, on a background of brilliant blue sky and white clouds.

None of the children concerned to see their labels, however, and some even wept.

Blue stickers are also the Pan teachers are part of a series of events across China to mark the special day for these children - the fifth day of Autism Awareness, which took place on Monday.

Gold School Kids Special Xuejun Pan which runs north-west of the city of Lanzhou is one of the few private rehabilitation centers throughout China, which is struggling to meet the special needs of children with autism in the context of inadequate funding, lack of professional and public misunderstanding.

"Treatment of autism requires a huge investment of time and money that many families can not afford," said Ban, a teacher 37 years old kindergarten.

"As a mother, I understand the pain of parents of autistic children," she said.

In 2007, Ban left his job in a kindergarten in Lanzhou, to establish a golden child. This is the first rehabilitation center for autistic children in Gansu Province, a relatively undeveloped area, surrounded by inhospitable plateau grasslands and arid deserts in the north-west of China.

Ban said that she was almost "forced" to establish the center, as concerned parents had nowhere to send their children to rehabilitation routine.

Parents of children with autism often face social stigma that many in China, with little or no knowledge of autism, autistic children are wrong just think as a result of poor parenting, Pan said.

Autism is a neurological disorder characterized by varying degrees of deficits in communication skills and social interaction, and restricted, repetitive behaviors, according to health experts.

For decades, has remained largely autism diagnosed in China and the Chinese government has recognized as a mental retardation in 2006. At least 1.5 million children in China, autism, medical studies have shown that the disease can affect one child in 166.

There is no widely accepted treatment or cure for autism. And the majority of children with autism are unable to attend a teacher when they inevitably fall behind in their studies. Rehabilitation centers are often double as a school.

But it struck an optimistic note pan.

"Many people believe that autism is a permanent condition that can not be cured, but the fact that my children have graduated from school healthy and happy," she told reporters. "Some went to normal school in the future. You'll be surprised at what they can do."

Nevertheless, the objective of the work of rehabilitation remains a challenge.

Ban said that it has invested 370,000 yuan, or about $ 56,000 from her personal savings to the school. Five years later, it remains to be seen whether he will have no financial return from these investments.

Care for children with autism is difficult. Ban said that many young teachers and educators have left over the past five years due to the huge burden and a difficult child's behavior, which can sometimes be very strong.

"Children with autism can sometimes attack you," said Ban revealing scars on her arms. "It's never easy."

There are no college or school in China, especially the train teaching children with autism. And a career as a teacher of autistic children is not attractive.

There are also cases where the cash pan so it was a trap delayed payment of salaries to teachers and employees of the center.

The challenges facing the pan are common to people who care for autistic children in a different place.

In Tianjin, an industrial city south of Beijing, the leaders of the rehabilitation center for autism, complains that it is difficult to register the center, NGOs, and it is difficult to raise money, and they can not rent office space is large enough, and invest in the best conditions.

"Sometimes our children have to sleep on mats on the floor, because we simply do not have enough space," said Juan Dongying, the head of Noah with autism learning center for children in Tianjin.

In the Ningxia Hui Autonomous, there are only three schools, two of which are private, to restore autism, but the number of children in need of assistance after 2000.

In 2007 the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution declaring April 2 as World Day of Autism Awareness, in an attempt to draw attention to the well, which affects tens of millions around the world.

Ban said that she hopes this year's Day Autism Awareness will help the center to get more public support and understanding of the general public.

Indeed, China Federation of Disabled Persons "in March, said that the union under the auspices of the government will give 36,000 poor children between the ages of autism 5:57 a subsidy of 12,000 yuan in 2015. Assistance commitments were also made charitable groups, such as a Fund, which was founded by film star Jet Li

The Foundation, in collaboration with Autism 103 rehabilitation centers across the country, organized a campaign in 40 days in the country from March 19 to raise public awareness about mental illness. The buildings will go blue in the cities, and in the bazaars and on the Internet outside the campaign will also be organized.

A spokesman said the foundation: "We encourage the public to take care of people with autism to help them reintegrate into society, and show them the warmth and love."

MLB Ballpark's Ridiculous $26 hot Dog

$26 Hot dog! Texas Rangers to serve 2-foot, 1-pound wiener: Team president Nolan Ryan did not mince words with ESPN Radio in Dallas for the Texas Rangers' latest acquisition - one to two feet long, greedy dog ​​a book that provides a hot three or four fans and cost $ 26:

    
"There should be a huge sausage. And then we get some kind of exotic bread flown in from France. And I do not know what seasoning you put on it. But I want to watch.

    
"This is a wild dog."
Strasbourg saints! All that is actually more in Texas. The result of Rangers Ballpark Chief Vasquez Cristobal, a dog Coney Island-style sausages, which will be topped with grated cheese, peppers and fried onions. Not to mention the bun, apparently, from the "exotic bread flown in from France" - which can be as Nolan Ryan Nolan Ryan never said a thing.
But it seems that conflict, how to call this monster sausage.
It depends on where fans buy. If they dine at the club Captain Morgan, they will buy "a dog Champion." Kind of a lame name of the account of efforts to create the danger in which fans put their waist. However, Rangers Ballpark concessions will sell the steak, and there he would be called "Boomstick". (This will cost the same.)
Boomstick is perfect, not only because it makes your intestines will "boom", but because it is the nickname Rangers slugger Nelson Cruz - or at least for the bats. When he gets home run, you see, Cruz has reduced the Boomstick.
Why Rangers marketing department had problems with it and with two names, I'm not sure. "Dog Champion" a little ingenuity. And only the Rangers 'Champions' AL until further notice, and not to open old wounds. "Boomstick", but a foolish ... it makes sense. Having two names and create a kind of class struggle between the Rangers fans.

    
"Oh, lay people in the club champion dinner at the dogs, and the unwashed masses is biting down on the boom."
There is no reason that the cattle barons and oil tycoons in the Captain Morgan Club can not eat like Boomstick rig workers and cowboys (because it's in Texas) is not in the rest of the order. And they do not call it "Dog Champion" in the stands. Of course, they may also not be able to afford it in the stands, too.

How To Earn $100,000 And Still Feel Poor

First Person: How to Earn $100,000 and Still Feel Poor: Our household income in recent years has exceeded $ 100,000, but we do not spend as if we were making six figures. We do not have a cocktail at the Mai Tai stations or buy expensive high-tech toys.

According to recent data, income, and consumers have more money. They also take on more debt for the first time in three years. Financial experts say the increase in borrowing may be associated with the acquisition of vehicles and pay for college. We bought a new car this year, so our son can earn money for college pizza offer. This may have to borrow money for higher education.

There are six digits of the minimum wage in nine?

While I admire people who live on fixed incomes or minimum wage, I have no idea how they do it. When I was younger, I was on the payroll only $ 19,000 a year. At that time I had no mortgage or two sons in college. At that time, the high cost of child care has taken a big chunk of my salary sorry. However, I never thought we would have trouble living on $ 100,000.

What happens to my net worth?

I always thought that my net worth increase, as I made more money. In fact, I thought that six-figure compensation that the "barrier" means that we will be financially set. Nonetheless, our net worth has fallen since the burst housing bubble. Our house is located on the "responsibility" next to our table on equity. While stocks recover, our retirement accounts do not reflect the balance, I would have expected when we won six figures.

Why can not I have money to burn?

My lifestyle is not extravagant. We spend less money on clothing, entertainment and everything that is not necessary. We do not have money to burn because of the high cost of gasoline, car insurance, food and education. We also have a higher tax bill every year.

Accommodation: We live in Tampa, Florida area where we had a house built in 1800 square feet at the top of the housing bubble. I feel so much richer if I could take the $ 183,000 we spent seven years ago and bought a house twice now in a better neighborhood. Some of the houses in my subdivision have been destroyed. I never thought I would see broken glass sliding doors, and graffiti on the walls of houses that people had to get in line to buy. The houses were such high demand that we put a deposit $ 3,000 on our land in the center of the model builder's home, before you even see the unit. In an attempt to stay above the water on our mortgage, we pay an extra $ 250 a month in mortgage company. Thus, we at least be able to move if we need in the future without destroying our credit.

Costs: Our fixed costs are $ 350 per month for utilities, $ 300 for car insurance, $ 175 for the Internet, cable and telephone. We need $ 1222.02 per month on our mortgage and $ 300 a car loan. We have no other debts. We save 10 percent of their income for retirement. We spend at least $ 500 a month for gasoline and a whopping $ 1,000 a month on food. I feel if I was rich in prestigious restaurants there or purchase delicacies, but our food budget is the basis for all four.

Education: We spend about $ 15,000 a year for tuition and books, to send his son to the two colleges. When they transfer to a university next year, these costs will more than double. My oldest son is paying $ 5,000, or about half of the training, because it has a part time job, but my younger son was not able to find a job. I feel rich when I struggled to send her son to an Ivy League college, but it's just college.

We bought shares to finance the higher education of our son, but the action was a step. We hope that their share prices will recover to help pay for the last two years of college. We do not want to see student loans, but they may have no choice.

But it is not bad

Although we have many expenses, we were able to stay out of debt. I am sure that if we did six figures, we would fall into a debt trap. Experts say that people tend to take more debt if they have more equity in their homes. Despite the value of our house begins to grow, one day, I now feel comfortable with more debt. Instead, we are going to be free from our mortgage debt over the next 10 years.

I can not have money to burn, but I hope to be able to use something before the tax man takes his share.

Obamacare: Where Are we Now?

Obama’s health care law passed 2 years ago, but where are we now?: It seems that the right of President Barack Obama's health care reform has been controversial fodder for Republican smears and allegations of the century. And he seems to be. Today marks the second anniversary of the House narrowly compression on health care reform, where the Supreme Court will consider next week, before making a decision on the legality of this summer.

This law was quickly challenged by the attorneys general of states, while Republicans have promised Congress' repeal and replace "it. The new rules also galvanized Tea Party, which has been credited with changing political landscape, and drove home the Republican swing elections in 2010 mid-term. But since then, public demonstrations have died down, partly because the most controversial aspects of the law will not take effect until 2014. A popular part of the Consumer Protection Act were deliberately front-loading.

Despite the recent Gallup poll showed that Americans are divided by whether they think that the law on public health, should be abolished. Only one in seven respondents of another poll said that they have experienced something positive law. Recent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) finds that the ratio of 5 million people risk losing their employer-based insurance between 2019 and 2022. CBO also found that less than 2 million uninsured Americans would obtain coverage by 2016 than previously thought and that the law will also be a bit cheaper than the original estimate.

With an argument in the Supreme Court is about to begin, we'll make sense of what is going on health wise. Here is a brief overview of what happened in force and what to expect in the future, with the help of research from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

Already in force

The most popular consumer protection-oriented part of the law will come into force on the first, and it is no accident. The President knows that he needs to create public support for the law, before you deploy the most controversial measures.

Insurance companies are already considering new rules that prevent them from installing "limited lifetime" of the benefits of one of their paying customers. They can not refuse to cover children of pre-existing conditions or plans to start children with their parents until they reach 26 years. (About 2.5 million young people were the plans of their parents in accordance with the latter characteristic, according to the Obama administration.)

Older people who have reached the Medicare Part D prescription coverage gap has received additional money for drugs, small businesses that offer their employees the right to participate in new tax breaks, as well as about 50,000 adults with pre-existing conditions who have been denied coverage in the past, came to the a new high risk pool established by law. (And in 2014 the insurance companies will not be able to deny coverage to sick children.)

Hoping for John Boehner, as the light? Your portfolio may take a hit with the new 10 percent tax on tanning in a solarium, a law introduced in. But the other, the most important services will see savings, with some families receiving preventive care like exams, which should be offered free for those on Medicaid .

Some plans have not changed significantly since the law passed are "grandfathered" and may avoid some of these new changes.

That coming this year

We already have an idea, with disagreements over the attack on Rush Limbaugh statement Georgetown Law students Sandra Fluke free birth control, but this coming August plans must provide women with no contraceptive quotas. It is part of a list of preventive services, such as cholesterol screening, the law says must be provided without cost sharing. Once a religious group protesting President Obama said, religious educational institutions, such as Catholic hospitals have one more year until 2013 in accordance with its mandate. The administration says the insurer will go directly to the customer to provide contraception, so that the religious employer not to do so.

Depending on your insurance company, you can just enjoy a little extra money. For the first time this year, some insurance plans that spend more than 20 percent of insurance premiums for their clients for medical expenses such as marketing will need to send cash rebates to customers. This rule is aimed at encouraging insurers to keep premiums, punishing them if they do not reduce their costs.

One of the most popular components of the Health Act (as voted by the Kaiser Family Foundation tracking) is set take effect this fall, when the health plans to publish a form that is easy to understand description of its advantages, so that customers can comparison shop.

Other groups that could see higher bills: the pharmaceutical industry will have to pay extra this year, and the law begins to cut payments to hospitals without the need for rehospitalization of patients Medicaid.

What's next on the road

In 2013, Americans who earn more than $ 200,000 a year can expect higher taxes, as well as manufacturers of medical devices whose products are faced with a new 2.3 percent tax.

But all the main points deployed in 2014, when Medicaid will be expanded to encompass the majority of people with low income (defined as a family of four was $ 30,657 or less per year) to 65. Employers with more than 50 people will be fined if they do not provide health insurance to their employees, and those who are not eligible for Medicaid Extended, but do not offer insurance for their work exchange may buy insurance from the state. (The federal government has provided millions of grants to states to implement these exchanges in the areas of health, though some expressed doubts that they will be ready for entry in 2014). People who live for up to 400 percent of the federal poverty level receive grants or tax cuts to buy insurance from trade.

Insurance companies can not deny to any person who is ill and will not be allowed to charge higher premiums based on gender of the customer. The Act also establishes guidelines for that insurance should cover, and introduces new taxes on the industry.

Last modified on tax "luxury" health plans, which will come into force in 2018. Insurers that offer plans costing $ 10,200 or more will face the tax.

NetZero Returns With Free 4G offer

NetZero launch Free Broadband Wireless: It's like the 90s never left: Billy Crystal hosted Academy Awards. IPO, returned to the Internet. NetZero and came with free Internet access service, but this time it's wireless.

United Online announced Monday that it will offer free wireless Internet access under the brand name NetZero, which began on the free movement of dial-up phenomenon in 1998. The company is a backup plan in television commercials, print and online.

There will be many taken with a free plan. America Online is not a compensation for the costs of creating users to look at advertising, as it has done with its initial proposal, free Internet dial-up. "Free" Users will be money losers of the United President and CEO Mark Goldston says the Internet. It means, United Online has the right to use the plan as a way to attract customers in hopes to encourage payment plans that start at $ 9.95 per month.

To take advantage of the proposal, consumers will need to buy an antenna stick $ 50, which connects to a laptop or $ 100 "mobile hotspot" that enables any Wi-Fi device to connect to the Internet. America Online will sell the device on the NetZero Site.

Free accounts are limited to 200 megabytes of data per month, enough for email and web browsing, but little else. Half an hour of full screen video streaming is all the awards a month. For comparison, the cheapest AT & T Inc. wireless rate plan is $ 14.95 per month for the data a little bit more - 250 MB per month - but this plan is only available for tablets with built-in cellular modems.

When you select a monthly traffic is exhausted, NetZero Internet access cut off before the start of next month, and users will be prompted to update the plan paid.

NetZero does not allow users to travel free of charge within one year. If they are paid by the plan, they can not go back to the free part.

$ 9.95 plan will provide 500 megabytes of traffic per month. For $ 50 a month, subscribers receive four gigabytes of data per month. That's enough to watch some videos, but not enough to replace the cable modem households or DSL. The plan from Verizon Wireless is not a contract, and NetZero, a 1 gigabyte for same price.

United Online does not have wireless broadband on its own. Instead, it leases capacity on the network Clearwire Corporation is on the same network used by the corporation Sprint Nextel, to provide the "Sprint 4G" data services. Several companies, including cable Comcast Corp, access to the Clearwire network is also sold under its own brand. Nevertheless, they took out of the case to focus on the partnership with Verizon Wireless.

Clearwire network had some problems: it is based on broadband technology that the rest of the industry surpassed that is selection of compatible devices is limited. Due to the frequency of use of the signal has trouble penetrating buildings. Sprint and cable companies use Sprint slower cellular data network as a fallback, but NetZero devices rely solely on Clearwire, which means to cover a decent signal may be uneven.

Clearwire has stopped investing in the network and collect enough money for a new network, which uses the standard "LTE" technology.

According to the company's financial statements Clearwire, he received an average of $ 6.34 per month in the fourth quarter for each subscriber large, most of which are the "Sprint 4G" smartphone users.

United Online, which is based in Woodland Hills, California, has about 750,000 subscribers dial-up remains, Goldston said. The Internet is a small part of total activity: it must have the FTD flower delivery of services "online" as nostalgia Classmates.com.

Law Firm Fires 14 Employees for Shirt Color

Law firm fires 14 employees for wearing orange shirts: They were not wearing pants sagging or identifying clothing. But dressed in an orange shirt, apparently enough to dismiss a law firm in Florida, where 14 workers were just released last Friday.

In an interview with Financial Times. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, some laid-off workers say they were dressed in the appropriate colors, so that they will be defined as a group, where to go to the event happy hour after work. They say that the manager who made the first accused them of wearing the color that corresponds to a form of protest against the leadership.

Orange is considered one of the most visible color to human eyes. Orange vests are the majority of hunters as a security measure, as well as school crossing guards. Most prisoners have to wear orange suits jump.

The orange color is perhaps the definition of Florida. "Sunshine State" has positioned itself well known for its exports of orange juice.

Law offices Elizabeth A. Wellborn, PA has offered "no comment" on the Sun-Sentinel reporter Doreen Hemlock, and four former employees say the paper, they just wear the orange T-shirts to celebrate the "pay day" and the group next Friday happy hour.

"There is no policy on the desktop to wear orange T-shirts. We had no warning. We did not start, no packages, no," Amber, Eric Lu in an interview. "I feel so violated."

Ironically, the employees have been orange, as a form of protest, it was illegal to shoot them, according to ABC News.

After the 14 employees were fired, one manager said that someone wears an orange "innocent reason" to talk about. At least one staff member immediately denied any involvement in or knowledge of the protest and said that the color coordination of happy hour. However, they are still drawn.

"I am a single mother with four children and I work because I was wearing orange today," said McLeod Meloni paper.

And there's really nothing else to do at the endings of the State of Florida is on your own, that is, an employer may dismiss an employee who does not have a "good reason, for the wrong reasons, or for the wrong reasons, yet it is not illegal because" Eric K. Gabriel, Labor and Employment Lawyer Stearns Weaver told the Sun-Sentinel. Gabriel said that there was a clear violation of the law in this case.

While Bales worked in a brokerage firm in Ohio, MPI.
In accordance with Federal records, the bales did not appear at the arbitration hearing to resolve a complaint Liebschner.

Romney's Muddled Illinois Message

Romney's Muddled Illinois Message: The Illinois showdown between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum could mark a turning point in a race that refuses to die.

That is, if anyone could get excited about it. The contest lacks just one thing: any sense of drama.

By every conceivable measure, Romney should carry the primary on Tuesday, perhaps by a more comfortable margin than he had in Michigan and Ohio. Romney has greatly outspent the former Pennsylvania senator, as usual, and is up 45 to 30 percent among likely voters in the latest Public Policy Polling survey. Even if Santorum somehow pulls off a popular-vote upset, he will trail in the delegate count because once again he didn’t manage to file a full slate.

The last-minute fisticuffs has left both men without a positive message. Romney ripped Santorum as an “economic lightweight,” prompting Santorum to call him a “big-government heavyweight” and “Wall Street financier” who would be Tweedledum to Barack Obama’s Tweedledee. Worse, in punching back on the campaign trail Monday, Santorum said, “I don’t care what the unemployment rate’s going to be. Doesn’t matter to me.”

Romney is on track to beat Santorum on Tuesday, but his negative, math-driven campaign is sparking little enthusiasm in Illinois. Howard Kurtz on how the GOP race has become an insider’s debate.

While he was trying to make the larger point that presidents don’t create jobs, businesses do, Santorum was being as clumsy as his rival had been in declaring “I don’t care about the very poor.” And the Democrats have it on tape.

Maybe it’s fatigue, but both men’s performances seem to be deteriorating as the campaign grinds on. No wonder Illinois Republicans sound soporific.

“There just doesn’t yet seem to be the interest,” former Gov. Jim Edgar, who is sitting out the race, told The New York Times.

“He’s not overwhelming,” former House Republican leader Bob Michel told Politico. about Romney, the candidate he's supporting. Michel asked: “What’s the spark? What’s the thing that gets him off and running? No one knows.”

The Romney camp will play up an Illinois victory as further evidence that their man is compiling an insurmountable delegate lead and Santorum has no chance of catching him. But the relentless focus on math has obscured Romney’s message and turned the GOP race into something of an insider’s debate about party rules, proportional representation, and the possibility of a deadlocked convention. Santorum has played along, saying the odds of a brokered convention are increasing. And that—what will happen in the back rooms of Tampa in late August—is at this stage a conversation mainly of interest to political junkies.

Romney remains ultra-cautious on the issues. In an interview Sunday on Fox News—he continues to avoid all other Sunday shows—Romney accused President Obama of “failed leadership” in Afghanistan. But when asked if he would favor a speedier withdrawal, Romney said:

“Well, the timing of withdrawal is going to be dependent about what you hear from the conditions on the ground. That you understand by speaking with commanders, as well as, of course, the people of Afghanistan and their ability to maintain their sovereignty and to have the capacity—to have a military that can stand up to the challenges they face.” Speaking with commanders? How, exactly, does that differ from Obama’s policy?

Santorum, for his part, still seems to be targeting his message at very conservative and religious voters after his misstep in Puerto Rico. There Romney trounced him after Santorum said the commonwealth would have to adopt English as the official language if it became a state. He is now talking about a crackdown on pornography, and when asked on MSNBC’s Morning Joe whether contraception had become a distraction for his campaign, Santorum responded forcefully about religious liberty and passed up chances to move on to other subjects.

The result is that the Illinois race seems frozen in Romney’s favor. In the PPP poll, Romney triples Santorum’s following among “somewhat conservative” voters, 60 percent to 20 percent. And Santorum is up by only 8 percent among Tea Party followers and 10 percent among evangelicals, margins too modest to offset his weaknesses elsewhere.

The relentless focus on math has obscured Romney’s message and turned the GOP race into something of an insider’s debate about party rules.

Newt Gingrich, for his part, recently accused Obama of “crushing Christianity and Judaism.” But he is back at 12 percent in the PPP survey, drawing far less media attention after failing to win Alabama or Mississippi last week.

Ironically, Romney might benefit more if Illinois were closer, because journalists tend to get exercised over squeakers and steer clear of blowouts. The media market has already priced Romney’s expected Illinois victory into his political stock, leaving little possibility of a surprise bump.

After Saturday’s Louisiana primary, where Santorum leads by 4 points in one poll, the contest moves to what should be friendlier terrain for Romney: Maryland, D.C., and Wisconsin on April 3, followed by New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Delaware on April 24 (plus Santorum’s home state of Pennsylvania).

Santorum has won 10 states, a significant accomplishment for his underfunded campaign. But if Illinois renders the same verdict as the previous two Midwestern states where Santorum fell short, it will amount to another missed opportunity for him to change the dynamic of the race.

Possible Suitors for Tim Tebow

Possible Suitors for Tim Tebow: Tim Tebow must make way for Peyton Manning on the Broncos, but he’ll be heard from again. It was not John Elway is going to commit to Tim Tebow. It had to be clear that the whole day while working the Denver Broncos in the AFC West title, where fans roared, Tebow put his hand on his forehead, and the team president frowned.

The signs were there, shouting loudly, when coach John Fox was given the chance, after opportunity to make Tebow the next quarter season team, but he refused each time. Even the warm end of the season, Elway enthusiasm - is considered as a confirmation - in fact quite the opposite.

"Well, I think that Tim has earned the right to become a starting defender is going to training camp," he said, trying not to say anything about what happens after that. Now, as Peyton Manning, who was allegedly going to sign with Denver, Tebow probably will not even make camp. This damage to the goods, marked for sale, and thrown in the trash, to negotiate, are available for every NFL team wants to send a low draft picks throughout the year and model solutions for the right to take Tebow away.

This is the price of feeling in those days.

Market Tebow will not be hard. Perhaps it is easier to find a job if he was a Heisman-winning quarter with excellent pedigree college, but I suspect that the accuracy of the game and coaches still do not believe in the NFL. But Tebow is supplied with a base of loyal fans and fans of the Christians, and oppressed. They will not sit as their hero is languishing on the bench.

Any defender of competition Tebow will be thrown into a fiasco. This is not a new coach or a coach who is uncomfortable to use. Tebow arrived in almost every city the NFL will be the same disaster as the domestic public relations benefit.

That's why it's hard to imagine Tebow in his hometown of Jacksonville, where new coach Mike Mularkey, is supposed to be trying to establish Blaine Gabbert, the top pick of the project team in the past year, the quarter back taxes. The last thing he should or Gabbert is a battle camp Tebow Tebow, where fans insist on their rights each time Gabbert made a mistake.

In addition, it is difficult to imagine a new Dolphins coach Joe Philbin in a hurry to throw Tebow in the range, trying to create a program in Miami.

Most likely, Tebow wind as a reserve in a place like New England and New Orleans, where the coach can find clever ways to use it, giving the fans something to enjoy while I'm So Tebow is not a bad locker room chemistry.

But what kind of player they receive?

What people should understand that the NFL, despite doubts about Tebow, they enter into the project two years ago, it is much more polished player. He always had the opportunity to surprise your knowledge. Coaches and managers of the Denver Broncos in the room to combine the project in 2010 were impressed by his ability not only to disrupt his offense in the University of Florida, but their ... and San Diego and New England. They said they had never seen a quarter of college to do such things.

Neither player has spent so much time studying either. When he finally left the Broncos practice facility home at night, Tebow brought with him a stack of DVD-ROM drive with a variety of crimes, that he would look again and again, often with his coach a few times during the night to ask questions about what he saw on the screen . He worked for several hours before and during the practice of his feet, which is based on the belief that if Elway had the right balance, it would be more accurate throws.

"He has made great progress both mentally and physically," Broncos coach Adam Gase liter of said two days after the season. "You can see in the game. You say," Oh, there is a slight improvement. "

Those who worked with Tebow say he is really obsessed with one thing: all the better. Now he has one win the playoffs and the playoffs with a pass of the ball for a touchdown on the first play of overtime. It also has two years of training in accordance with the Bronco coaching staff who worked tirelessly on his feet.

Finally, someone Tebow. It probably will not be very expensive, and there will be little chance for him to start. But no matter how little he appreciates Elway, Tebow is a much better player than it was in the summer of 2010, and has the experience to take the team deep into January. This is something interesting.

And that's why, even after he gave the Broncos for what little they can get, we have not heard the latest Tim Tebow.

He'll be back.

YouTube Enlisting Hollywood's Help

YouTube enlists big-name help to redefine channels: YouTube is bringing help to achieve the Hollywood generation of viewers are more familiar with smartphones that control the TV.

Internet giant video aims to create 25 hours of programs a day with the help of some of the biggest names in traditional television. The site owned by Google distributes his wealth among the producers, directors, producers and others using the bank $ 100 million in committed capital to start last fall. The Foundation is the largest expenditure on YouTube the original content so far.

YouTube says that it provides a foundation for the future. While the number of viewers of traditional stabilized in recent years, people are increasingly watching video on mobile phones and tablet PCs, especially in the 18 - 34-year-old demographic advertisers covet this year.

The idea is to create 96 new channels of YouTube, which are essentially artists home pages, where viewers can see current videos and click the "Subscribe" to be informed when new content is increased.

Well-funded videos to choose from a list of stars likely to be more watchable than the average cute cats and YouTube monologues webcam. YouTube relies on the fact that the massive influx of quality content will attract more revenue from advertisers, viewers often bring new and strengthen the parent web-connected TV platform Google TV.

Money attracts some of the biggest stars of television, including "Fast Five" director Justin Lin, director of the episode "Community",'' CSI "creator Anthony and Nancy Zuiker Tellem, former president of CBS Entertainment.

Zuiker is associated with horror series for YouTube, after observing the behavior of his family. His son, three pre-teens are spending more time on the phones and computers, iPads, how to watch TV these days.

"We want to take the risk, along with YouTube and roll the dice on the future," said Zuiker ". The old regime would be to fail, because everyone thinks that television is the only device that really matters and that is simply not the case."

For manufacturers the ability to create shows that are completely free to intervene in major studios. They may also be relevant with the younger crowd that visualization is increasingly moving online.

Several new channels, such as extreme sports-oriented network, and Spanish have already begun to care. YouTube hopes that they are all in place and operational by this summer.

"It was really enhance the whole ecosystem," said Alex Carloss, global head of original programming on YouTube. "We see that the portfolio (funded channels), representing the best of the best television experience in the web."

YouTube is not a Web service, the video has started to pay for original content. Netflix Inc. recently the original series "Lilyhammer" while Hulu first "battle". But a YouTube video, as a rule, less than 10 minutes, instead of setting the traditional half-hour TV commercials per hour. And apart from a few principles that control is dedicated to the artist, including those that have downloaded and when there are new episodes.

YouTubers go well with things far more severe than the middle finger that rapper MIA erupted during a break in the Super Bowl.
