GLP IPO Update

SINGAPORE - Global Logistic Properties (GLP), the overseas warehousing unit of the Government of Singapore Investment Corp (GIC), yesterday launched its initial public offering (IPO) at $1.96 a share to raise as much as $3.9 billion.

GLP is looking to raise $3.4 billion but the amount raised from the share sale may increase to as much as $3.9 billion if its over-allotment option is fully exercised. This will make GLP the biggest IPO since SingTel's $4 billion offering in 1993.

GLP has been growing strongly in China and Japan - the world's second and third-largest economies, respectively. The company currently owns and leases 296 properties in 122 integrated parks in the two countries.

GLP's gross floor area has grown by 40 per cent annually in Japan and 100 per cent in China over the last five years, as demand for logistics space grows.

"We expect that to continue in the foreseeable future as China focuses on stimulating domestic consumption in the next 10 to 20 years because they cannot rely on exports and capital investment to grow the economy," said GLP chief executive Ming Mei.

GLP added that it would also like to grow into a few other cities in China on top of the 18 where it already has a presence.

"Based on our current plan, with our balance sheet and a low level of debt, our strong cash flow from Japan and China, we don't expect we need capital from public markets in the near term, the next 3 to 4 years," Mr Mei said.

"But again, if our growth prospects happen to be better than we anticipated that would be a good thing for shareholders as well," he added.

The company is offering 1.76 billion shares, with 589 million units going to cornerstone investors. The pricing of $1.96 is at the top end of the IPO's indicated price range following a successful global book building exercise.

The company's cornerstone investors - who have committed $1.2 billion - include the Alibaba Group, CB Richard Ellis Global Real Estate Securities, ING Clarion Real Estate Securities, Lion Global Investors, Nan Fung Group, Owl Creek Asset Management, Hong Kong tycoon Cheng Yu-Tong's private investment vehicle Chow Tai Fook and Jovina Investments, which is wholly-owned by Singapore billionaire Peter Lim.

GLP's public offer will close on Thursday at 10am and the shares will commence trading on the Singapore Exchange on Oct 18.

The GIC said it would remain the company's largest single shareholder after the IPO.

Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)


Brett Favre is one of the most well known quarterbacks in NFL history. Being a girly girl, I didn’t know much about football as a kid, but I sure knew who Brett Favre was thanks to my Packer fan brother! Now Brett is still making headlines, but it is surely not the kind of publicity one seeks.

This week alleged penis pictures and voicemails sent came out as Deadspin published them from a third party. If you are looking for the actual penis pictures, you know we cant post them here, so you will have to go here to find them. Otherwise keep reading for the details and the voicemail video.

The pictures and voicemails were allegedly sent to New York Jets “Gameday Host” Jenn Sterger. Though the messages and sexts were supposedly sent in August of 2008, they made news in August of this year and are just now becoming a big deal because the NFL is starting an investigation.

The Vikings play the Jets this week, and the sexting scandal is already overshadowing the game. Favre was asked to address the allegations last Thursday and said: “I’m not getting into that. I’ve got my hands full with the Jets.”

There is a video below with the alleged voicemails, but the Brett Favre picture scandal is another story – you can see the photos here. Jenn has yet to confirm or deny Favre sent the sexts and voicemails, but is said to be cooperating with the investigation. But they seem pretty legit, otherwise I doubt Deadspin would risk such a huge lawsuit.

So readers, what do you think about the Brett Favre sexting scandal? Do you believe it or is t an elaborate hoax? If it is true will this plague the NFL superstar’s career? Check out Jenn Sterger’s pictures and the voicemail video below and then leave me your comments below!

Vikings Jets

 Let’s check out some game notes from the Jets’ 29-20 win over the Vikings on Monday night…

Brett FavreICONFavre tossed 3 TDs, but the INT sends the Vikings home at 1-3.

Favre's night: Did make some great throws in the second half. The 9 (fade) route to Ranyd Moss for the TD. The deep crosser and the 7 (flag) route to Harvin that both went for TDs. But, we know the INT in the 2-minute drill is the killer. Tries to hit Visanthe Shiancoe underneath in the Flat-7 out of the stack look with the Jets’ playing combination man (in and out call). Dwight Lowery takes it back for a TD. At that point, the great throws (even the 500th TD pass) take a backseat on a very inconsistent night for the Vikings' QB. 14-34 for 264-yards, 3 TDs and the INT.

Tomlinson: The first cut—with  vision. That’s what stands out from my perspective when we talk about L.T. One-cut, hit the open (or weak side) and get to the second level of the defense—with speed. There is a reason he is seeing the majority of the carries for New York. 20 carries for 94-yards to go along with Shonn Greene’s 57 yards and a TD.

Moss’ impact: The Vikings made him a big part of their game plan—and the 9 (fade) route was the number one play. We did see the option route and the deep dig (square in), but it is obvious that the Brad Childress and Brett Favre want Moss down the field—especially against any type of press-man look at the line of scrimmage. Easy to check to the fade vs. pressure teams and very easy to install for a player that shows up in October in a new offense. Moss is going to be big in this scheme once he gets in the playbook.

The Vikings’ defense: This is what you get from a Tampa 2 defense that tackles well once the offense gets past the plus-30 yard line. They will give up some numbers on the ground, but the Vikings can rush four and drop seven—taking away the intermediate to deep passing game in the red zone. Cover 2 in the red zone (Red 2) turns into a 5-deep, 2-under defense with a wall formed on the goal line. Force a throw underneath, make a tackle and the offense has to settle for field goals.  Simple, basic theory behind the scheme.

Antonio Cromartie ICONCromartie matched up with Moss.

Cromartie on Moss: Was expecting to see another matchup between Darrelle Revis and the new Vikings’ WR, but Rex Ryan went with Cromartie on Moss. Here’s what you get with Cromartie: excellent speed down the field and average technique. But, what he does have is the ability to play press-bail at the line of scrimmage (press technique with no jam), turn his hips and get back in-phase with the WR. Cromartie played well— and only gave up the 9 (fade) route to Moss for a TD in the 3rd quarter.

Jets’ pressure: I like that the Jets don’t go into a shell in passing situations.  They pressure in the red zone, in 3rd and long situations and in their 2-minute defense. Take risks and play man coverage in the secondary. Ball has to come out quick and when the QB can’t step into his throws, it is tough to make plays from an offensive perspective.

Santonio Holmes: A  solid option at WR on third downs. Had a drop, but we are talking about a WR that can run the slant, the dig, the comeback, etc. Tough routes that move the sticks and becoming invaluable to QBs.

Extra points…

- We talk about the slant route a lot. Seems like a simple play, but against a CB playing with outside leverage and a single-high safety in the middle of the field, it can be a very productive play. We don’t value it enough.

- The 1-3 Vikings host the 1-3 Cowboys on Sunday. Did anyone predict that?

- The rain/ lightning delay. Experienced one as a player. Players are used to routines, and when that routine is broken, there is a sense of discomfort at the start of the game. Vikings looked like that in the first series.

Reviving Ophelia

REVIVING OPHELIA is an original Lifetime movie that premieres this Monday, October 11, 2010 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. The movie centers around two sisters who have teenage daughters the same age, but who are very different. Marie’s daughter, Elizabeth, gets good grades, does not have any behavior issues and has the perfect boyfriend. Le Ann’s daughter, Kelli, on the other hand, is home alone often, gets into trouble and allows boys to use her however they can. Marie and her husband feel that they have the perfect family and encourage Elizabeth to help out Kelli, who is being raised by her single mother. Everyone soon comes to realize that it is really Elizabeth that needs help.

Reviving Ophelia is your classic story about a teenage girl falling victim to a goodlooking and charming abusive boyfriend and staying because she believes it is true love. The movie showed all of the recognized signs and cycles. I would not want to call them cliche because that would downplay the seriousness of abusive relationships, but they were expected. What I thought made this movie different than the other movies out there portraying teenage violence was the interplay and comparison of Elizabeth and Kelli and their lives. Everyone initially thinks it is Kelli who is troubled since she is acting out. However, as the movie goes on, it is evident that Kelli is not a bad kid. In fact, if not for her, Elizabeth would have endured more abuse. I enjoyed watching the girls evolve from what we were told and what we expected them to be from the beginning of the film.

The cast of Reviving Ophelia was mostly unknown, at least to me. Elizabeth’s mom, Marie, was played by Jane Kaczmarek, formerly of Malcom in the Middle. She is a wonderful actress and I think an excellent choice to play a mother who finds it incredulous that her daughter would lie to her, be abused, and then stay with the abuser. Marie’s character went through a lot throughout the movie trying to find the right position to take and the right words to say. Kelli’s mother, Le Ann, was played by Kim Dickens formerly of Friday Night Lights and four episodes of Lost as well as a host of other movies. She played the character of an exhausted overworked single mother trying to get through to her daughter well. Perhaps the most standout actor in the movie, however, was Carleigh Beverly who played Kelli. I thought her acting was brilliant and heartfelt. She had the standout performance in this film.

Overally, I thought Reviving Ophelia was a good movie. It was by no means a fresh take on an old subject, but it held its own rather well. I was disappointed that there were certain things that were never discussed or explained such as the issues with Mark’s ex-girlfriend. It also would have been nice if there had been a little bit more of a history of Elizabeth and Mark’s relationship shown before diving into its downfall. Finally, I would have liked a bit more reference to the film’s title. The only references we get are from Kelli’s English teacher. While his comments mesh well with what is happening at the time, I really do not feel like there was a “reviving” of anything in this movie. A little more explanation or linking to the film’s title would have gone a long way.

Watch Reviving Ophelia this Monday, October 11, 2010 at 9:00 p.m. on Lifetime and then come back here and tell me what you thought in the comments below.

Sally Low Ai Ming

THE police and insurance giant AIA are investigating claims by a semi-retired Indonesian businessman that his insurance agent sold him a non-existent insurance policy that cost a whopping US$5 million (S$6.5 million).

The sensational case, which industry experts say is the first of its kind in Singapore, is currently before the courts.

The businessman, Mr Ong Han Ling, 72, is suing the agent, Ms Sally Low Ai Ming, for about $3.6 million plus loss of use of his funds. The $3.6 million is the amount left outstanding after the agent made restitution for some of the policy premiums.

In her defence, 33-year-old Ms Low, who was sacked by AIA in September last year, has alleged that the fake insurance plan - called the 'AIA Thank You Policy' - was part of an elaborate ploy conceived by Mr Ong to defraud AIA. She claimed she was merely an accomplice.

The Sunday Times obtained legal documents filed by both parties and they revealed intriguing claims that included a fake policy schedule and forged letters from AIA officials such as Mr Mark O'Dell, then the insurer's general manager in Singapore.

In his suit, Mr Ong said that the trouble began when he and his wife Enny Ariandini Pramana, 71, bought several policies from Ms Low, from 2000. Over time, Ms Low became a trusted friend to the Ong family and visited their home in Scotts Road regularly, he added.

William Chan Charlene Choi is Now Dating

Hong Kong actress Charlene Choi fesses up on her relationship with singer William Chan

William Chan and Charlene Choi

Charlene Choi shocked everyone earlier this year when her secret marriage to Ronald Cheng was revealed.

Shortly after, the pair, who married in January 2006, announced their divorce. That led to speculations that Charlene was in love with a rich Chinese man, but the real third party was actually William Chan.

Choi sprung the news of her dating the 24-year-old through her music company EEG Music last night. She later gave thanks on her personal blog after which her new beau also wrote on his blog, thanking everyone for their blessings and expressed that he will work hard to make her happy.

According to sources, the pair met on the set of Beauty on Duty last year, but Choi was still Mrs Cheng then and Chan was dating model Angelababy. She took the liberty to have their company celebrate both their birthdays together as his was a day before hers.

In April this year, she also took time off her busy schedule to film the singer's new MV, which involved many affectionate scenes.

Isabella Leong's Housing Woes

Isabella Leong is moving back to Hong Kong and she is making sure her home is really where she wants to be.

Currently residing in San Franciso with her three young sons, the 22-year-old is bent on transforming her luxurious Hong Kong home into a kid's nursery world.

According to Hong Kong reports, Richard Li had bought the land at HKD 120 million (SGD 24 million) back in 1994, and construction of the high-end home made of wood was only completed in 2002.

The home boasts a magnificent sea view and a 37,000 square meters outdoor garden. It was also constructed out of premium raw materials only.

However the Lis are reportedly still not satisfied with the house.

A construction foreman, who had been part of the building project, lamented about Isabella: "The client has such high expectations. For example, the redwood used for the house was already top grade, but she found the patterns on the wood to be ugly and repeatedly requested for changes to be made even after completion."

He added that Isabella had also insisted on a weekly change of water in the swimming pools and fortnightly pest-extermination.

"In actual fact, nobody was even using the swimming pool, and there was also not a single soul for mosquitoes to attack."

Isabella's hubby Richard Li, son of billionaire Li Ka-shing, remained nonchalant about the star's demanding ways.

Autumn Eagle's Interest

Stent maker Biosensors International Group announced that Autumn Eagle Limited bought just over 312 million shares, a 29.47 per cent stake in the company.

After the announcement, Biosensors shares started gaining and reached $1.10, an increase of 10 per cent from Friday by mid-day.

The investor in question is said to be a China-based private equity investment firm, and is said to be a strategic investor.

An analyst contacted by BT said that it is too early to say if Autumn Eagle is preying on Biosensors as an acquisition target. He said it was typical for private equity firms to first cultivate good working ties with the management team before proceeding further.

Though little is known about Autumn Eagle at this point, he noted that the investment bodes well for Biosensors. 'The investment's advantageous for Biosensors, since it has a presence in China.'

NPAL

NPAL acoustic thermometry is directed at using the travel time data obtained from a few acoustic sources and receivers located throughout the North Pacific basin to study the temperature variations of the North Pacific Ocean basin at the largest scale (The ATOC Consortium, 1998).

The data obtained during ATOC showed that acoustic ray arrivals may be resolved and identified to at least 5-Mm range so that these data can be used for acoustic thermometry. The estimated uncertainties in the range- and depth-averaged temperature measurements were about 10 m°C. The time series obtained using the California acoustic source showed a clear annual cycle whose amplitude was similar to that derived from climatology (World Ocean Atlas 94: Levitus et al., 1994; Levitus and Boyer, 1994) and from XBTs of opportunity, yet smaller than the amplitude of the annual cycle derived from TOPEX/POSEIDON altimetry (The ATOC Consortium, 1998). The time series obtained using the Kauai acoustic source is of similar quality in its ability to measure the thermal variability, but it shows greater variability at 100-day timescales. Since ATOC, research has shifted from establishing the integrity of the acoustical measurements (Dushaw et al., 1999; Dushaw, 1999; Worcester et al., 1999) to employing the data oceanographically. One original and continuing goal of the thermometry program is to use the line-integral data to detect patterns of climate variability such as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO).
   


Tomographic measurements can be made without risk of calibration drift; these measurements have the accuracy and precision required for large-scale ocean climate observation. Tomographic measurements directly probe the existence and nature of signals at the lowest wavenumbers. These data are also sensitive to variability almost to the ocean bottom, and thus can detect changes below the depths at which XBT and float data are obtained. The impact of the integral measurements on the quality of ocean estimation using numerical models remains an open question, however. This impact is best assessed when all data types - tomography, ARGO, XBTs, TOPEX, etc., are used. The transbasin acoustic measurements may offer a signal-to-noise capability for ocean climate variability that is not readily attainable by an ensemble of point measurements.

This is a photo of the 75-Hz acoustic source on the fantail of a ship prior to deployment. These sources have an expected life span of about 10 years.

The Kauai acoustic source began transmitting in late 1997, continuing through Fall 1999. After a hiatus of 2 years while marine mammal permitting issues were sorted out, the Kauai acoustic source resumed transmissions in January 2002. Transmissions are expected to continue for another 5 years at regular 4-day intervals. Timeseries obtained from the Kauai source trasmissions compared to TOPEX/POSEIDON satellite altimetry data and the ECCO ocean model state estimates may be seen below.

Data from NPAL Acoustic Thermometry are almost but not quite freely available for use. There are a number of peculiar issues at the moment that prevent posting of these data here for ready download. Those interested in using these data should contact Peter Worcester (pworcester@ucsd.edu) or Brian Dushaw (dushaw@apl.washington.edu). There should be no problems obtaining the data; at the moment we merely want to keep track of who is using the data, and maintain a dialog with users on how they are using and interpreting the data.

npal North Pacific Acoustic Laboratory

A series of long-range acoustic propagation experiments have been conducted in the North Pacific Ocean during the last 15 years using various combinations of low-frequency, wide-bandwidth transmitters and horizontal and vertical line array receivers, including a 2-dimensional array with a maximum vertical aperture of 1400 m and a horizontal aperture of 3600 m. These measurements were undertaken to further our understanding of the physics of low-frequency, broadband propagation and the effects of environmental variability on signal stability and coherence. In this volume some of the results are presented. In the present paper the central issues these experiments have addressed are briefly summarized.

Psle Science 2010

The best PSLE notes are the notes that your child creates his/herself. The process that your child goes through to come up with the notes help more than you think. This is why it is important for them to spend some serious time sitting down and compiling what they have learnt into proper notes.

It forces them to review everything they have; learnt, organizes what they have learnt in a particular structure which helps them to remember it better and it forces your child to create linkages between different topics and chapters so they can create a logical flow to the notes.

Here are some other tips, which you can apply to further help your child’s revision process for a day before a PSLE exam. They can make quick mind maps without looking at their notes, which will help them to think through what they have learnt. They can help themselves remember a list of things by linking each item to a location that they are familiar with or they can even create a story out of whatever they have to remember.

For example, photosynthesis, mammals, warm blooded animals, lion, rabbits, cold-blooded animals, reptiles, snakes, and lizards. They can make a story out of this list of words. It doesn’t even have to make sense sometimes. Photosynthesis helps a mammal take photos of warm-blooded animals such as lions and rabbits but cold-blooded reptilian animals like snakes and lizards do not like to pose for pictures.

It doesn’t make sense. But it sure helps one to remember the key words required in a science paper.

Some other tips would be to help your child find a deep and compelling reason to learn a subject and pass an exam. This reason would motivate your child to succeed without being pushed by an external force.

Before any revision, get your child to do some warm up exercises to get some healthy oxygen flowing to the brain. You can also get you child to have 15-minute power nap to improve their concentration for the next round of revision.

Lastly remind your child to read each question on the exam paper carefully. Most children tend to miss out the instructions and lose marks when they actually could have answered it well if they had read the question properly.

To the children sitting for the PSLE 2010 papers, Good Luck!

Jacelyn Tay Wedding

Three years ago, actress-turned-businesswoman Jacelyn Tay announced that her then-June wedding was off.
After happily being in love, she finally has decided to get married this year.
Jacelyn Tay got married yesterday on 10.10.10 to businessman beau Brian Wong.
In an interview with the newspaper, the 35-year-old said she made it official two weeks ago with businessman Brian Wong, who is seven years, her senior. The couple, which made their first public appearance at actors Fann Wong and Christopher Lee’s wedding last year, is planning an October banquet.
The couple has invited about 560 guests including celebrities like Chen Hanwei, Yvonne Lim and Christopher Lee to their private wedding banquet at the Pan Pacific hotel.

Tay, who is an unromantic Gemini and Wong, a Taurus, is more romantic than her, she said. ‘Ours isn’t a grand passion. It’s the small things in life, such as being with our families and friends, that I find heart-warming.’
Because of his sincerity, ‘I believe he will look after me’.
However, he is too busy to watch television and has never seen her shows. She said: ‘I’m always asking him, do you want me to play some of my shows for you?’

Tay has also been occupied with her holistic health centre since setting it up in the year 2006, two years after she was discharged from bankruptcy in the year 2004.
Ex-boyfriend Terence Cao is happy for Jacelyn
When ex-beau Terence Cao found out that Jacelyn was in a relationship, he expressed happiness for her.
He jokingly added: “It’s time she got married – her mother has been waiting a long time to hear good news from her.”

ah boy... rich iott is running for congress in northern ohio. he is a republican. and he's enthusiastically supported by the tea party. and, well, he likes to dress up like a nazi. yup. when asked about nazi germany
he said: 'they accomplished incredible things' and 'gave their lives for their loved ones and a basic desire to be free'.
from the atlantic monthly:
'When asked whether his participation in a Nazi re-enactor's group might not upset voters, particularly Jewish voters, Iott said he hoped it would not: "They have to take it in context."
i guess the simple, practical, question is: do we really want or need elected federal officials who dress up like nazi's for fun in their spare time? here are some pictures of him and his friends.

Asana Yoga

Female infertility is a common Gynec problem among the women after the age of thirty years. The reasons for Female infertility are many. Harmonal imbalances, Irregular Cycles, anaovulatory cycles, Obesity, stress etc. are some of them. The doctors world wide suggest some hormonal treatments which will increase your weight drastically. As the saying goes, an increase of 5% in your weight will reduce the chances of conception by 20%. One has to have a lean body to have a natural conception. Especially, the fat accumulated in the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and breasts will reduce your chances of getting a child, as there is no place for the baby to grow when these places are filled with fat. The natural system of the body is such that it will not ovulate, if fat accumulation is there in these parts. Hence, one has to reduce the fat to have a healthy baby. The doctors who suggest clomefene citrate as a drug to enhance ovulation does the same. It melts the fat in the abdomen, there by, ovulation is triggered. One can deal with the infertility through Yoga by practicing certain specific Asanas as mentioned in the Book by Swamy Satyananda Saraswati.

These are Vajrasana, Shashankasana, Marjari asana, Chakrasana, Sarpasana series ( such as Bhujangasana, Tiryak Bhujangasana, Poorna Bhujangasana etc.),  Oordhwa Hastana, kati chakrasana, udarakarshana asana, Sarvangasana, Pranayama (Anuloma & Viloma), Ardha Shalabhasana, Shalabhasana, Saral Dhanurasana, Poorna Dhanurasana, Kndharasana etc. These Asanas are highly beneficial to women and should be practiced under the guidance of a Yogic expert. Within two months of regular practice, one will get the good and positive result.

In India, many women after the age of 45 achieved good results. All the hormonal problems, irregular cycles etc. are  regularised and this resulted in a positive result. The overall health is also improved. Yoga teachers such as Shri.Vinay Roy from Hyderabad, India have designed specific Asanas to suit the specific requirement of women. Many women have benefitted under his guidance

Banksy Does The Simpsons

Banksy is, let’s be honest here, vaguely amusing but ultimately, irritating as piles. He’s the art-world’s Bono, constantly asking us to look at ourselves like we’re brain-dead scum. Of course, fans of his will claim a moral victory because he’s managed to put into his work what they couldn’t say in words. Or, more realistically, they like to be seen to care about… y’know… stuff.

And with his fame, Banksy has managed to make a decent living out of being unknown. He’s done pieces in war-torn areas, New Orleans and various famous landmarks, all the while, telling us how we’re hopeless consumers, willing to lap-up anything we’re told… then selling a shed-load of books.

And now, he’s managed to land the gig of creating the title sequence of The Simpsons. And it’s oh-so bloody controversial.

The intro was shown in the US last night and opens with the graffiti artist’s tag doodled all  over Springfield. That’s all well and good.

Then comes the controversial part.

It switches from the Simpson family’s living room to a massive sweatshop, with depressed looking workers in an austere warehouse painting cartoon cells and making Simpsons merchandise, filled with dead animals and blah blah.

Amusingly enough, this weak-wristed attack on mass-production will no doubt end up on a Simpson’s DVD at some point, made in some unpleasant warehouse somewhere. That’s nice isn’t it? It’s like Radiohead advising their fans cycle to their shows while jetting around the world in planes fuelled by rocking horse shit.

Apparently, this extended intro was inspired by reports that the show outsources the bulk of their animation to a company in South Korea.

Banksy has stated that his storyboard led to delays, disputes over broadcast standards and a threatened walk out by the animation department.

Then, Al Jean, The Simpsons executive producer, showed Banksy how to be funny by dismissing the furore with:

    “This is what you get when you outsource.”

ZING!

The episode, called MoneyBart, will be shown in the UK on 21st October or, if you’re cod-political, you’ll get it on a torrent.

Here’s the intro.

Leona Gage, Miss USA , Dies

Leona Gage, who in 1957 was named Miss USA but had the title taken from her the next day when pageant officials learned she was married and a mother of two, has died. She was 71.

Gage died of heart failure Tuesday at Sherman Oaks Hospital, said her son Rob Kaminer.

She was married and had her second child when she was 16, all forbidden for a pageant contestant. She also told pageant officials she was 21, but she was 18.

"It's both an accomplishment and a tragedy. She had mixed feelings about the whole thing," Kaminer told The Times on Saturday.

Gage, who was born in Texas in 1939, represented Maryland at the Miss USA pageant held in Long Beach in July 1957. In a Times article after losing the title, Gage said she entered the Maryland contest hoping it would lead to work as a model.

"We needed money desperately," she said in 1957. "I didn't expect to win and when I did I was told I would be sent to Long Beach for the Miss Universe contest [then held immediately after the Miss USA competition], I went to the sponsor of the Maryland contest and told him I couldn't go because I was married.

"He told me to forget that I told him I was married and to come out here and keep my mouth shut."

Pageant officials in Baltimore denied they knew she was married.

Her son called it "a cautionary tale.… She entered the contest because she needed the money.… She was only 18 years old and you only complete the seventh grade and you have men pushing and pulling at you. I definitely know she was influenced by the people around her at the time. It's a very powerful influence."

He said Gage had lived in Southern California since the 1960s and became extremely private later in life "because she wasn't the person people remembered." He said she suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a progressive condition that makes it hard to breathe.

Gage made many television appearances after losing the title, including a highly rated one on the "Ed Sullivan Show." With the attention came hate mail.

"I think one half of the U.S. hated me," she told the Baltimore Sun in 2005.

Gage had difficult years after losing the title.

"When you're 18 years old and you're the most beautiful girl in the room … and then you're 50 and you're on oxygen and you haven't taken the time to develop yourself in other areas, what are you left with?" Kaminer said. His mother was "really preyed on by men from an early age.… you understand the type of trauma that represents," he said.

In addition to Kamimer, who lives in Scottsdale, Ariz., Gage is survived by two other sons, David Ennis of Tyrone, Ga., and Nicholas Covacevich of Los Angeles; and three grandchildren.

David Carr

David Carr has his own class and superb performance track in the National Football League which is very much recognized  and honored by almost every fan of this sport format but the performance and appearance of this talented footballer was nothing but could be said as zero as compare to the previous performance of the same player that have stunned many on different occasions.

The performance of David Carr which was against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night was absolutely not up to his standard and he could not produce any charming or excellent move as well but on the other hand Alex Smith performed beyond his standard and provided astonishing performance and entertainment to all the fans of the team in the same match. Both were playing for the San Francisco 49ers team against Philadelphia Eagles last night.

But the excellent performance given by Alex Smith could not be resulted by him to grab the victory for San Francisco 49ers in Sunday night’s match which was actually played at the Candlestick Park as they lost the game against their rival of the night i.e. Philadelphia Eagles. It could have happened if David Carr had his form with him.

49ers are really having a tough time so far in this tournament as the Sunday night’s defeat was actually the consecutive fifth defeat of the team in currently running season. This is not an excellent sign for their future in this regular season of year 2010. 49ers are struggling to make their comeback in the tournament.

60 Minutes Eminem

Eminem's profile on "60 Minutes" aired in full, Sunday, October 10 with him revealing what kind of teenager he was and what kind of father he is now. Anderson Cooper followed the rapper through several places which are historical in the making of his career. He went home to Detroit where he lived with his troubled mother and showed Cooper the underground club where he battled black rappers.

"I would change schools two, three times a year and that was probably the roughest part," Eminem recalled his unstable childhood. "[I got] beat up in the bathroom, beat up in the hallways, shoved in the lockers, just, for the most part, being the new kid."

Eminem repeated ninth grade three times and never went beyond that but he was always good with English. He took Cooper to a recording studio and revealed how he came up with words that rhyme. "People say that the word orange doesn't rhyme with anything and that kind of pisses me off because I can think of a lot of things that rhyme with orange," Eminem said, before proving his point by mentioning "door hinge", "storage" and "porridge".

He felt the pressure of being white in a crowded black Hip-Hop community. "There was certainly a rebellious youthful rage [in me] ...and the no-getting-away-from fact that I am white and this is predominantly black music and people [are] telling me, 'You don't belong and you're not gonna succeed because you're this color,' " Em said. "Then you want to show those people that you can and you will."

The interview also included Eminem's close encounter with death in 2007. He collapsed in the bathroom of his house due to overdosing on some prescribed pills which would have killed him if he was admitted to hospital two hours later. He admitted that his homecoming concert with Jay-Z last month was the first time he was able to see his fans' face from the stage without blur.

As for his personal life, he still chooses not to connect with his father who left while he was a baby. "If my kids move to the edge of the earth, I'd find them," he said. "No doubt in my mind. No money, no nothing. If I had nothing, I'd find my kids. So, there's no excuse." The rapper himself is quite protective when it comes to his kids. "I'm a parent; I have daughters. I mean, how would I really sound as a person like walking around my house [saying] 'Bitch, pick this up!' Profanity around my house, no," he revealed.

Brett Favre Scandal Video

NFL has initiated investigations about Brett Favre scandal. A website (deadspin) had alleged that Favre had sent inappropriate text-messages and pictures to Jenn Sterger in 2008. Both were employed with Jets at that time. There is still no proof that the alleged messages and pictures were sent by Favre so NFL will be checking the mobile phone records and Sterger would be called for an interview.

NFL is looking forward to Sterger’s cooperation in this regard because if none of the ladies cooperate the investigation would be a waste of time. Sterger has not responded to the news but two female message-workers have surfaced with similar accusations against Favre.

Favre has turned 41 and is very conscious about his public image. His wife was diagnosed breast cancer and has under gone treatments. Brett Favre scandal may leave adverse affects on his family and professional life. He is currently playing for the Vikings who need a victory badly. The team members are worried that Favre

won’t be able to give his best in today’s game against Jets. People are well aware that such scandals ruin the carrier of players just as it happened in the case of golf-player Tiger Woods.

Favre’s professional carrier spans over two decades and has played 288 consecutive matches. If NFL suspends him he won’t be able to make a record regarding the number of consecutive games.

According to some insiders Sterger wants to keep away from the Brett Favre scandal. She doesn’t want to comment or get involved in the blame game. Her silence may help Favre to continue his professional carrier.

Brooks Conrad

Brooks Conrad was somewhat of a novelty for the Atlanta Braves this year. The 30-year-old backup infielder saw plenty of action with Chipper Jones in and out of the lineup and he got a starting spot when Martin Prado  was knocked out for the year with an oblique injury. Of the eight home runs he hit this season, seven came in the 7th inning or later and plenty were walk-off winners. Despite all the goodwill he built up during the year, most, if not all of it was lost on Sunday.

Conrad committed three errors against the Giants and was one of the primary reasons the Braves lost Game 3 of the NLDS 3-2. Conrad’s first error came on the second batter of the game when he blew a fielder’s choice ground ball from Freddy Sanchez, allowing Andres Torres to reach second base. The Braves luckily escaped without allowing a run, but Brooks’ next two errors were more costly.

Right after Cody Ross tripled to lead off the second, Conrad dropped a popup in short right field. The error allowed Ross to score what was the only run of the game until the 8th. After Atlanta took the lead in the bottom of the 8th thanks to a two-run home run by Eric Hinske, Conrad made another blunder in the 9th.

With runners on first and second and two outs in the 9th, Buster Posey hit a soft liner that bounced just before it reached Conrad at second. Conrad was screened by the umpire and didn’t get his glove down until after the ball went through his legs, allowing a run to score. The miscue gave the Giants the lead 3-2, and Brian Wilson pitched a scoreless bottom half for the win.

I hate to single players out for their poor play, but Conrad’s three errors absolutely killed the Braves. It’s unfortunate that this is the first time many baseball fans are learning his name and that this may be his MLB legacy.

NFL Scores Week 5

Colts running back Joseph Addai suffered a neck injury during the team's 19-9 win at home against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The extent of the injury is not yet known but the Colts cannot afford another injury to their skill position, let alone their running back unit. Donald Brown was expected to play this week but was deactivated before the game due to an injured knee.
Former Michigan star Michael Hart filled in admirably for the Colts, rushing for 50 yards on 11 carries and scoring the team's lone touchdown.
The Colts running game is already in dire straights, ranked fourth worst in the entire NFL. Regardless of Addai's status, the Colts might go running back shopping tomorrow morning.
