NFL Preview - New Orleans (10-3) at Baltimore (9-4)

While the New Orleans Saints' offense is rounding into the form that made the team Super Bowl champions a season ago, the Baltimore Ravens are just happy to have walked away with a win last time out despite blowing another fourth-quarter lead.

New Orleans and Baltimore, a pair of second-place teams facing one-game deficits in the standings over their respective divisions coming down the stretch, now try to move closer to a playoff spot this Sunday at M&T Bank Stadium.

The 10-3 Saints carry a six-game winning streak into this contest and are one game back of the first-place Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South. The Ravens, at 9-4, trail the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers by a game as well and have won three of four and five of their last seven outings.

Both clubs face multiple scenarios this weekend in which they can clinch a playoff spot.

Denver Broncos: 10 Predictions For The Super Bowl 2011 Season

As the media clamors over whether or not the Denver Broncos should start rookie quarterback Tim Tebow, and others are trying to figure out creative ways to hate Kyle Orton, it is time to look beyond the present.
In order to fully grasp the concept of this sentiment, and allow for it to take full effect, one must do away with the troubles of the present and look to a brighter, more positive mindset that could seem as near as the orange sunset to the optimist yet as far away as the moon to those who wish to dwell.
After all, Christmas is approaching and although there will not be any yuletide cheer offered by our beloved Broncos this season, it is still imperative to focus on the positive, leave the negative behind, and concentrate on one infallible truth--there is indeed always next year!
Forget this season--it is over. There is nothing that can be done to eradicate the horrors of the Josh McDaniels regime.

All eyes set on Pearl River for Asian Games closing ceremony, to begin at 17:30 hrs IST

THE ASIAN Games 2010 held in Guangzhou, China opened to the world in a grand ceremony with never seen before LED lightings and firecrackers playing a major part.

The fourteen-day gala event, where even India broke all records and won many “first-ever” medals, will bring the curtains down today at 17:30 hrs IST. The ceremony will reportedly be more subtle as the hosts send off the athletes in a warm ceremony. The games’ closing ceremony will feature at the same venue as the opening ceremony that is the Haixinsha Square on the Pearl River. It will be a three-hour performance event concluding with the flag handover for the 2014 Asian Games, to be held in Incheon, South Korea.
Famous Asian pop star Rain (Jung Ji-Hoon) will perform three songs in the event. In all eight songs have been picked for the ceremony representing the eastern, western, southern, northern and central parts of the continent. The idea behind this is to display Asia as a whole and emerging power, said one of the organisers. An Indian musician Ravi K Tripathi is also going to perform at the ceremony. He will be singing the famous A R Rahman number ‘”Jai Ho” and two other songs.
Similar to the opening ceremony, the closing will also feature water bodies as an important part. There will be interesting formations and use of the cauldron, which was lighted by firecrackers in the opening ceremony, among other things. The whole ceremony will come to cost around $53 million, as per sources.

India has managed to pull of the best-ever Asian Games haul, since 1982 Asiad. Our athletes clinched a total of 64 medals comprising 14 gold, 17 silver and 33 bronze. This is the highest number of gold medals won since the first Asian Games held in 1951. India is on the sixth position and has superseded Thailand as well as Malaysia.

Asian Games closing ceremony to feature Indian musician

THE GAMES are coming to an end and with that mesmerising opening ceremony, the world can’t wait to see how the games close down in Guangzhou, China.

Reportedly, the ceremony is going to have an Indian flavour too with Mumbai-based Ravi Tripathi slated to perform at the ceremony.
Tripathi will be performing the famour A R Rahman composition ‘Jai Ho’ at the ceremony with 200 Chinese dancers moving to his tunes. His 15-minute performance will include two other songs, one from his latest album ‘Baatein’ and the other, a Chinese number that has been composed by a popular China-based music composer Henry Ctang. Tripathi has sung for Chandni Chowk to China and a few other films.
Asian pop star and actor Rain (Jung Ji-Hoon) will also render three songs. Eight songs have been picked for the ceremony, representing the eastern, western, southern, northern and central parts of the continent

The closing ceremony will be held at the same venue where the Asian Games opened and water once again is a key ingredient in the whole ceremony.
The ceremony would commence with a giant chandelier emerging from the deep-water area of the stage with a sail-shaped red curtain on screens behind. The organisers also plan to use the cauldron, which was lit at the venue at the opening ceremony, together with the chandelier on the stage and the big screens shaped like sails.
A seemingly interesting ceremony is in store for all the anticipating viewers and with the Indian touch to it becomes all too special for the Indians.

Vijender claims gold, tally touches 14

HISTORY WAS charted at the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China when boxing’s pin up boy, Vijender Singh claimed gold, thus taking India’s gold medal graph to 14. The last gold haul was India’s best performance at the Asian Games so far.

To claim the 14th medal, Vijender pulverised Olympic bronze medalist, Uzbekistan's Abbos Atoev by a massive 7-0, which made the Indian spectators hysterical with the unbelievable win.

So far, India’s best performance had been during the 1982 Asian Games which was held in New Delhi. During the 1982 Games, India had clinched 13 gold, 19 silver and 25 bronze that led to a total of 57 medals.

The 25 year old, who has been compared with the likes of soccer players like David Beckham for his looks and crowd pulling ability compensated to the medal loss during the Commonwealth Games 2010 which were held in New Delhi.

Vijender’s performance on the penultimate day before the Games finally come to a close raised India’s hope of being somewhere where they could have never envisaged. However, China’s Zou Shiming retained his light-flyweight title.

With an addition of 11 more medals during the day, India’s medal graph raised to 14 gold, 17 silver and 33 bronze (total 64).

Men's and women's kabaddi team raise India's gold medal bar

THE INDIAN women's and men's kabaddi team ended an outstanding Asian Games presentation by sealing the gold medal with a inclusive win over Thailand and Iran respectively in the finals to win the 12th gold for India on the 14th day of the ongoing Asian Games in Guangzhou, China.
The women's Kabaddi team beat Thailand 28-14 in a directing performance to settle the inaugural women's kabaddi gold of the Asian Games. In first half time they were leading 17 -7 after Thailand team failed to secure a single lonas against Indian and Indian women pinning them on the ground. Whereas, the Indian men's kabaddi team soared even higher by defeating Iran 37-20.

The squad had earlier managed to pulverise Japan to reach this spot and successfully managed to retain their glory. The Indian team also got a couple of bonus points in the opening half.

In semi-final Indian women beat Iran by close margin of 23-22. Match was interested as both teams were tied 22-22 in the closing time and the Indian team emerged victorious in the extra time.

India wins 3 golds on Thursday, climbs up in Asian Games

INDIA HAS got back to its winning streak, or so it seems. After a very disappointing loss in Hockey semi-finals, India won a total of 7 medals on the 13^th day of Asian Games 2010.

India won two surprise gold medals in 400m hurdles athletics event, one in men’s category and one in women’s.
After that Vikas Krishnan lifted a gold in the men's 60 kg boxing event the Asian Games.
Also, a silver was won by Dinesh Kumar in the men’s 81 kg boxing event.
The total of India’s medal now is 53 and we are sitting at the eights position as of now.
In today’s events we are hopeful of 4 gold medals with two boxing events, two kabbadi events (women’s and men’s final) in sight.

Other scheduled events where India is participating are Karate, Sepaktakraw, Wrestling and Volleyball.
India has still a few chances left before the games close down tomorrow on 27^th November to make it a better event than the last Asian Games, where we finished at the eights position with around the same number of medals that we have now.

With four gold medals anticipated and a few more events in tow, its very anxiously awaited how many we are able to bag. Nothing is for sure after the heartbreaking loss in the Hockey semi-finals as India has not lost to Malaysia for the past few years in any Hockey match.
Today’s stars include Vijender Singh in the men’s 75 kg boxing gold bout where he is facing Abbos Atoev of Uzbekisan and Manpreet Singh in men’s 91 kg boxing event is facing Mohammad Ghossoun of Syria.
Kabbadi teams are also high in the gold anticipation list as India has never disappointed fans in this sport.

India's stand in Asian Games 2010

INDIA WON two surprise gold medals after two days of average performance.
India's Ashwini Chidananda won a gold in the women's 400metres hurdles and Joseph Abraham clinched the gold in the men's category of he same even in the Asian Games 2010.

Ashwini outdid herself by clinching the gold with a timing of 56.15 to give India their 8th gold medal in the Games.

India’s performance was getting pretty uneventful for the past two days and these gold medals come as a pleasant surprise for all back home.

Another bronze was won by Mausam Khatri in men's 96 kg freestyle wrestling event, which made up for the disappointing performance of wrestlers earlier in he games.

Also, in hockey after the heart breaking loss to Malaysia in semi-finals, Indian team picked up the bronze after defeating Korea for it in the third-place playoff.

And with that bronze India finally ended the eight-year long wait of getting back on the podium in the sport. India won the last medal in hockey in the Asian Games 2002, in Busan.

Also, India broke Korea’s back as they have never missed a medal in the sport since the 1986 Asian Games, held in Seoul.

With these two gold medals, India beat Thailand to the 9th position. India now has a total of 9 gold medals, 13 silver and 29 bronze; that takes the total to 51.

China refuses to budge from the first position and has half of the gold medals of he whole event. China’s total is 370 medals followed by Korea with 217 medals and Japan on the 3rd position with 190 medals.

Somdev wins second gold, creates history

SOMDEV HAS won India’s 7^th gold, a second for him after he grabbed a gold yesterday in the doubles event with Sanam Singh.

The duo bashed out Gong Maoxin and Li Zhe of China and followed in to the footsteps of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi. They sailed into o the semi-finals after winning this gold medal, taking India’s gold to 6.
And today, Somdev becomes the first-ever Indian to win a gold at a men’s singles tennis event at the Asian Games.
Today’s match was against Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan and the match belonged to Somdev right from the start.
Somdev, whose international ranking is 106 faced Istomin, who achieved a world-ranking of 39 this year. Somdev was totally in form right from the beginning and it seemed Istomin was just not playing the part. Somdev shunned Istomin 6-1 6-2.
This gold can be called one of the most precious ones as it’s the first ever in its category. Somdev has surely created history for India.
What is interesting is that this historic gold has come from a rather lesser known face of Tennis and not from Leander Paes or our own BHupathi or even Sania. Its time we realized our potential truly and gave equal importance to all players. Somdev has outdone himself by taking on the way he did to the world no 39, Istomin in today’s match.
India’s medal tally now is 37 with 7 gold medals, 12 silver and 18 bronze. India stands tall at 6^th position sharing it with Thailand. If Thailand wins another gold it could beat India to the 6^th position.
China sits comfortably at the top position with a whopping 311 medals comprising of 157 gold medals. Following China are Korea with 182 medals at 2^nd position and Japan at the 3^rd position with 158 medals.

Black Friday lures include price cuts, Sing-A-Ma-Jigs

FROM TRADITIONAL lures like slashed prices on hot electronics to a "Santa-Sing-A-Ma-Jig" toy, U.S. retailers are pushing to attract shoppers into their doors on Black Friday. With higher income, consumers are more positive about their financial prospects but with lower income consumers are still struggling, retailers are reaching out with smartphone and iPad apps, extending store hours for the holiday season kick-off that starts November 26 this year. Sears and Wal-Mart Stores Inc are even open on U.S. Thanksgiving Day that Thursday. The key is to not only attract consumer shopping for "doorbuster" deals that start well before dawn, but to nab the attention of middle and higher-income shoppers who are feeling more comfortable about spending as the job market stabilises. "It's critical to get off on a good start for Black Friday because it's hard to make up sales if you fall behind your plan overall," Barclays Capital analyst Bob Drbul said. Black Friday is a term co-opted by retailers to refer to the time of year when their business moves into the black, or turns a profit. This year, the event will be about keeping sales momentum that picked up modestly throughout the year. "For the past three years, (store) trips have been declining. What we have been starting to see the last couple of months is that middle and upper consumers have started increasing those trips," said James Russo, vice president at market and consumer information monitor The Nielsen Co. Retail stocks in general are up sharply since August, buoyed by signs of sales and earnings improvement. The Standard & Poor's Retailing Index is up 23 percent, compared with a 13.9 percent increase in the S&P 500. As many as 138 million shoppers could hit U.S. stores this "Black Friday" weekend, according to the National Retail Federation. The trade group has forecast a 2.3 percent increase in sales for November and December, up from 0.4 percent a year earlier. Other forecasts call for even greater increases. EARLY ENOUGH? Discounter Target Corp is among those that got a jump on Black Friday, with a four-day sale that began on Sunday and that included more items than last year, said Troy Risch, executive vice president of stores for the retailer. That tactic of early sales has appealed to some shoppers. "What I really like is that a lot of stores are opening before Black Friday," said Gabriella Jones, a 49-year-old from Lake Forest, California, who was in Times Square traveling with her daughter on Wednesday. "It's almost like Black Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday." Target stores will also be open at 4 am on Black Friday. But that means that Target is sleeping as compared with Toys R Us, the world's largest dedicated toy retailer, which opens at 10 pm On Thanksgiving for 24 hours straight. Toys R Us is hoping to bring in customers with exclusive items like the Santa Sing-A-Ma-Jig, a line of singing dolls dressed in Santa costumes. This year Black Friday caters to people, who are still struggling with unemployment, falling home prices and economic insecurity. Wal-Mart, for example, is offering items like a 32-inch Emerson LCD HDTVfor $198. The discounter, which is looking to break a string of six quarters of falling sales at storesis also offering to match competitors' price on Friday. "There's a lot of people, who are still feeling the pinch and that is going to make Black Friday an even bigger deal than it is historically," said Patty Edwards, chief investment officer at Trutina Financial. She noted those consumers will be drawn out by early "doorbuster" deals. But, stores that cater to higher end consumers are finding the most favor with retail analysts. Leather goods maker Coach Inc, high-end jeweler Tiffany & Co and clothing retailer J Crew were among Edwards' top investment picks. Consumers have also shown a propensity to shop for Black Friday deals and then to hold off on other purchases until the last weekend before Christmas. "I think we will see a pretty big lull post-Black Friday and then we will see a pretty big promotional calendar," Janney Capital Markets analyst David Strasser said. "The consumer has kind of caught on that there is no reason to shop the week or two after Black Friday." But waiting out that lull will not cut it for retailers that cater to middle-market consumers, Edwards said. "If they don't have it well planned, with something to surprise and delight ... their customers each week, they are going to have issues," she said.

Tanger Outlets holds grand opening for Mebane location

Those driving past Mebane on Interstate 40/Interstate 85 battled shopping traffic equivalent of two Black Fridays as Tanger Outlets launched over the weekend.

The opening created a traffic jam. Parking stretched past the lot onto the hills. Shoppers could still smell the fresh paint on the walls.

The store provides another large retail option for UNC students, competing with Durham’s The Streets at Southpoint for their business while offering outlet prices.

Elisa Lark, who drove an hour from Winston-Salem and was lined up to pay at the Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store, said she spent more than $500 at 20 percent to 40 percent off in most places.

“The stores are great, and there are a lot of good choices and deals,” Lark said. “I bought several Polo shirts and a sweater from here.”

The outlet’s 75 stores were built in about 11 months, said Kathleen Hackshaw, general manager of North Carolina Piedmont Tanger Outlet Center. About 800 employees are working in Tanger Outlets, and some of the stores are still hiring.

Inventories range from clothing, accessories, footwear, housewares and home furnishings.
The outlets, located in Alamance County, will entice shoppers away from Orange County, where officials worry about growing a tax base from retail but where there are no malls and few big stores like Target or Wal-Mart.

“Thousands of thousands of people came in during the opening weekend,” Hackshaw said.
She said Tanger has been working with the Mebane Police Department to regulate the traffic from the heavy volume of visitors.

“We didn’t park in the mall area. We parked outside and walked about half a mile from there,” said Nadine Small from Lexington, N.C., who was shopping in the Nike Factory Store.
Small said she thought the mall was nice but there weren’t enough places to eat.

“They need a food court, and we can sit down,” she said.

The shopping center has four food establishments. Hackshaw said the outlets will not have a food court, but two more restaurants will open Nov.15.

She said she hopes more will move in near the outlets in the future.

The shopping center attracted students from across the state over the weekend, Hackshaw said.

“I’m excited to go the J.Crew outlet, Lacoste Outlet and the Polo outlet,” said UNC junior Will Barringer while waiting to pay in the Banana Republic Factory Store. “It’s awesome to have an outlet like this around campus because you can find stuff for cheaper than you could in other stores. There is a variety of stores you don’t have in other places.”

Hackshaw said students can use their student ID to get a free coupon book throughout the year, and the entire shopping center has wireless.

“You can bring your laptop out here,” she said. “If your friend wants to shop but you don’t anymore, you can go wireless for free.”

Chennai Super Kings v Victorian Bushrangers Champions League T20 2010 at Port Elizabeth preview

Chennai’s form has been impeccable, but the opposition have been Central Stags and Wayamba – clearly the weakest of all the teams in the competition. This means that the game against the Victorians will be their first true test and it will not be as easy as the previous wins. For Victoria, the first match was a game to forget against Warriors (11/8 at Coral). But they have come back well to beat the Stags in a game that went down to the wire.

Chennai will be favorites (4/6 at Stan James) for this one, but will need to hold all their catches if they are to maintain that tag. Indian teams have found it difficult to field as well as their opposition and that is where the problems have crept up for them.

The batting is not a problem on the whole for the Super Kings, but the form of Matthew Hayden (4/1 at Boylesports) is a definite issue. He had got out to a first-ball duck against the Stags and hardly got a move on against the Wayamba side. Suresh Raina (4/1 at Stan James) was at his explosive best on a track that had nothing for the pace bowlers, but the question is whether he will be able to get his best game out against a good bowling attack.

MS Dhoni (13/2 at Coral) has been holding himself back in the tournament so far, probably due to health reasons. However, one cannot see him not bat in the top four if the Super Kings lose early wicket in this game.

The Bushrangers have Aaron Finch (4/1 at Coral) to thank for their lone win in the tournament. His unbeaten 90 against the Stags was a well-compiled and a matured innings, something that the likes of David Hussey (4/1 at BetFred and Rob Quiney (9/2 at William Hill) could do well to learn. If Brad Hodge (7/2 at Boylesports) is fit, it will make things easier for the Bushrangers, as it was evident from the previous match that the lower-middle order like Andrew McDonald (8/1 at Blue Square) need their time to get on with the game.

Champions League T20 Update: Redbacks defeats RCB

With the third consecutive win against IPL Royal challenger Bangalore in the Airtel Champions league T20 the South Australian Redbacks became the first team to qualify for the semi-final in the champions’ league tournament. Royal challenger was demolished by the Redbacks by 8 wickets. It seems that Bangalore can’t withstand the absence of the all-rounder Jacques Kallis from the team as the team was seen struggling in both the batting as well as bowling part of the game.

Batting first, Royal challenger posted a below average target of 154 runs in 19.5 overs which was chased by the Redbacks in 18.3 overs only with 8 wickets in their hand. After winning the toss, Royals decided to bat first. However, their decision to bat first did not go in their favour as they lost three of their initial wickets early in the match cheaply. Utahappa failed to open his account and he was sent back to pavilion on duck.

Royal’s inning was a bit controlled after the initial three blows and they were brought at the score of 74 in 10 overs. Du Preez played some attacking shots and with his 46 runs contribution to the total, Bangalore at one stage was looking at better position but the wickets kept falling and Royals were reduced to 154 for 10 with one ball to go.

Ross Taylor also made 46 runs. Cameron White contributed 25. For Redbacks, Daniel Christian took four wickets, while Tait and Putland took two wickets each. Chasing the target of 154 runs was made mockery by Redbacks batsmen as they made 124 runs for the first wicket stand. Redbacks reached the target of 155 in 18.3 overs only with 8 wickets in their hands.

Michael Klinger remained unbeaten on 69, while Daniel Harris made 57. Callum Ferguson remained unbeaten on 21. Klinger was declared “Man of the Match” for the second time in CLT20.

Royal Challengers to play against Redbacks for Semis birth

IN THE 11th match in the Airtel Champions Trophy T20 tournament this evening, Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on South Australia Redbacks at Kingsmead, Durban. South Australia have won in both the matches and topped the group, while Bangalore crushed Guyana in their only match in the tournament.
In the previous match on Sunday at SuperSport Park in Centurion, Royal Challengers won by nine wickets with 46 balls remaining against Guyana, which lost again yesterday against Mumbai Indians. Jacques Kallis showed his all-rounder performance and was declared man-of-the-match. Rahul Dravid also contributed as an opener. Young Robin Uthappa smashed 25 runs in just eight balls.
Other Banglore batsmen Virat Kohli, Ross Taylor and Cameron White can change the match with their abilities. In the bowling, Captain Anil Kumble, Dale Steyn and Praveen Kumar can cause mayhem against any opponent with their world class bowling ability.
In today's match if Redbacks are able to win against Royal Challengers, they automatically qualify for the Semifinal. Their Captain Michael Klinger smashed 78 runs in 48 balls against Highveld Lions and 50 against Mumbai Indians. Daniel Harris scored 57 runs in 38 balls inning against the Mumbai Indians. Shaun Tait, who is one of the fastest bowler in international cricket, could be the main concern for Royal Challengers Bangalore this evening.
Royal Challengers Bangalore and South Australia Redbacks match in the Airtel Champions Trophy T20 tournament will start from 9 PM IST.
