I don't know if it's done in other parts of the country, which I'm sure it is, but around here, there are local theaters that put the Packer game on the big screen. It's mostly theaters that serve beer and food that do it, otherwise, without serving beer at a Packer game in Wisconsin, it's pointless. It's an incredibly popular place for people to go and watch the game. I've never done it myself, but there are a lot of people that do. Not any more. The NFL has sent out letters to the owners of these operations to stop showing these games because they violate copyright laws. This according to the Journal Sentinel. Brian McCarthy, an NFL spokesman, said in an e-mail that the league recently became aware that the businesses were showing Packers games. "We let them know they are violating copyright law and longstanding NFL policies that prohibit mass out-of-town viewing of NFL games," he said.
China tops India again
For some years now, many Indians have taken solace from the idea that China may be ahead in manufacturing, but can't compare to India when it comes to R&D. Or, as Sunil Jain writes in India's Business Standard, “Tradition has it that while China is the factory of the world, India is going to be the laboratory of the world." But, Jain adds, a top science body in India, the Scientific Advisory Council, last week caused jitters among Indians after assessing a recent U.S. military report comparing the research output of scientists in China, India and other developing countries. Not only was India behind China in number of papers published, Jain notes, but far more Chinese research papers are landing in top Western journals. More worrisome still for the Indians – and encouraging for the Chinese – is the likelihood that the trend is going to continue: Jain writes that the World Bank's “Knowledge Index," a ranking that looks at a country's scientific fundamentals including Internet and PC usage, patents, and IT adoption by local companies, also skews heavily toward China.

News Of The Day
Even with Spitzer in this weakened state, there isn't a big back bench of potential Republican candidates to challenge him. Spitzer vowed at a private fundraiser to push for legalization of gay marriage - a move Republicans decried as divisive. That pledge would seem to run counter to experts opinion that Spitzer needs to reach out to voters and detractors alike as he seeks to repair the damage wrought by his failed license plan. .
Harry Connick Jr and his big band
He first performed publicly at age five, appeared on his first jazz recording at age ten, and released his self-titled major label debut for Columbia Records at 19, only a year after his high school graduation and his move to New York City. Connick achieved widespread success as a musician when director Rob Reiner asked him to contribute the score to his 1989 smash When Harry Met Sally, leading to Connick's first big-band recording and first multi-platinum album. In the ‘90s, the full scope of Connick’s artistry emerged. His albums featured original instrumental and vocal music (Lofty’s Roach Soufflé and We are in Love, respectively), explored funk (She and Star Turtle) and romantic balladry (To See You), and then pulled all of these strands together in the decade-ending big band tour de force Come by Me.
