Jim Rome’s Miss Radiance wins at Santa Anita
Rome and trainer Mike Puype opted to run Miss Radiance in the Bug Brush after scratching from Sunday’s Grade II La Canada Stakes, and the decision proved prudent. The 4-year-old Yes It’s True filly overtook pacesetter Bwana Babe to win by one-half length in 1:43.22. Although Rome’s romance with horse racing ownership had brought some immediate success, “It wasn’t until I got punched in the face a couple of times that I realized just how tough this is,” he said in the winner’s circle Thursday. “That’s why I can be so appreciative of something like this.”More » -
What Should Liam Neeson Punch Next?
Liam Neeson used to be in fancy-pants movies like Schindler's List and Nell and Rob Roy ... I mean, in 1993's Ethan Frome, he played Ethan Frome. At some point, though, he got really into beating people up. In 2008, he had a huge hit with Taken, where he beats people up because they kidnapped his daughter. In Clash Of The Titans, he vicariously beat people up by releasing the Kraken. (Not a euphemism.) Then his desire for action became such that he actually joined The A Team! (You probably didn't see that one.) Last year in Unknown, he beat up everyone who didn't recognize him. (Which was everyone.) In the upcoming Battleship, if I am understanding the premise, he's going to fight aliens with boats.More » -

With Twitter allowed during Pro Bowl, Aaron Rodgers can finally bury that In-N-Out tweet
Suddenly the Pro Bowl—that consolation prize Packers fans had no need for last year—seems a whole lot sweeter this year. If not for another chance to see Aaron Rodgers kind of play football again before the offseason, then because this should be the catalyst that revives his long-dormant Twitter account. The normally bunched-up NFL has lifted its normal ban on the social media platform for the annual Hawaiian dick-around game and will be allowing players to tweet during the festivities using the #probowl hashtag.More » -
Racehorse “speed gene” traced to 18th century British mare
Irish researchers writing in the journal Nature Communications say that the original "speed gene" variant entered the equine Thoroughbred line from a single British mare about 300 years ago. The origin of the speed gene (known as the C type myostatin gene variant, first identified in 2010) was revealed by analyzing DNA from hundreds of horses, including DNA extracted from the skeletal remains of 12 celebrated Thoroughbred stallions born between 1764 and 1930.. -

Vikings will listen to offers for No. 3
Minnesota Vikings general manager Rick Spielman kicked off the draft-day trade speculation season by hopping on the NFL Network during Senior Bowl practices and declaring: "It will be, I think, very busy on draft day. We're the third overall pick, so we'll be looking at all the options. If someone wants to come up and get our pick, we’re going to be more than willing to listen." As we've discussed before, the presence of Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III would make the Vikings an obvious trading partner for a quarterback-needy team at No. 3. In the past, Spielman has said there are a few players in each draft that he would never pass up an opportunity to select, regardless of the trade offer. More » -

Thousands march in Poland over Acta internet treaty
Prime Minister Donald Tusk says his government will on Thursday sign the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. The treaty, known as Acta, aims to establish international standards to enforce intellectual property rights. But critics say it could curb freedom of expression, and government websites have been hacked in protest. Several marches took place in cities across the nation on Wednesday, says the BBC's Adam Easton in Warsaw. Crowds of mostly young people held banners with slogans such as "no to censorship" and "a free internet".. .
