Question isn't there a website to show you what bars and whathave you are showing the ppv? Either the WWE site or somewhere else.

So for those that are going to watch WM20 how are you going to do it? Order it from home from friends, bar, etc. Since me and my friend don't feel like spending $50 were going to see if Hooters is going to play it. How about you?
-
Yeah I remember I thought it was a good double team move. It would be a cool move for TWGTT to bust out.

How is Brock being treated like shit? Please, I'd loooove to know. The feud with Holly and the matches with Gunn. People bitching about him getting a plane, the way his feud with GB is being booked, and if the rumors are true he's going to be feed to UT again.
-
Like others have said I don't see what the problem is. I mean going to South Africa to meet Holly?? And of course, those matches with Holly and Gunn. And question how is that like when HHH protects his spot. Brock is a ME and he's getting treated like shit and he's going to stand up for himself unlike Angle. Ok, Brock may have had some complaints about dropping the title to Eddie but, he did it and made him look good. When HHH trys to protect himself he ends up fucking up a feud, fucking up a guy's career, pissing off the fans and making them not care and bring down the ratings.

http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/news/story.jsp...276.htm&sc=1110 Media Draw Fire for Underage Sex Stings By JASON STRAZIUSO NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. (AP) - The TV news report is hard to ignore: An unsuspecting man goes to a house where he allegedly thinks a teenage girl is waiting to have sex with him, but instead he is met by a TV reporter with a camera and microphone. TV news directors say the ratings week reports, which have been done in several cities around the nation, raise awareness about the growing problem of Internet-based exploitation of children. They say viewer response is overwhelming and almost entirely positive. But federal and local law enforcement officials say the reports and the groups that help facilitate them do more harm than good because the ``stings'' don't lead to convictions and may put people in danger. ``Even well-intended grass-roots undercover investigators can create more harm than good, and we firmly believe that law enforcement investigations should be left to trained law enforcement officials,'' said Michelle Collins, director of the exploited child unit for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. This past week, NBC affiliate WCAU-TV of Philadelphia lured three men allegedly seeking sex with teenagers to a rented house less than a half-mile from an elementary school in the small Philadelphia suburb of Newtown Square. Police were not notified of the station's plans. The local district attorney is investigating whether the station broke any laws. WCAU defended its report. ``Child predators on the Internet are a huge problem, and NBC 10 helped raise public awareness of this issue,'' WCAU vice president of news, Chris Blackman, said in a statement. ``In covering this story, NBC 10 believes that no one was put in danger and the station conducted itself responsibly.'' About a half-dozen other stations around the country have teamed with the vigilante group Perverted Justice to run similar ``stings.'' Volunteers go into Internet chat rooms and pose as young teens. When men contact the ``teens,'' the group's Web site posts their sexually explicit conversation and often the men's pictures and phone numbers. FBI spokeswoman Linda Vizi said the stings don't help law enforcement because evidence isn't collected in a legal way. Other law enforcement officials have said the ``stings'' can compromise real investigations. ``To lure them to some place and post their picture somewhere doesn't stop what they're doing. You're not going to embarrass these guys into stopping,'' Vizi said. Several people have been arrested after tips from Perverted Justice or from the TV news reports but Vizi said arrests don't necessarily translate into convictions. Vizi also said the TV crews may not be prepared if the lured men turn violent. And Tom Bivins, a media ethics professor at the University of Oregon, said the stations' tactics are questionable. ``Is it necessary to entrap these people to get the story or could you simply report the story?'' Bivins said. ``Once you get involved, you become part of the story instead of reporting the story.'' Regent Ducas, news director of KCTV in Kansas City, which did a series in February, said his station held lengthy discussions about the value and risks of such a story. Two former police officers were hired for security at the house rented for the sting, he said. Sixteen men showed up, Ducas said. He said the report drew the station's highest ratings in a decade and showed that police are overwhelmed by the problem. ``We were hoping that our story would start the conversation, should police officers start reallocating resources? Is it time to start treating this problem much more seriously than in the past?'' Ducas said. At least one arrest was made because of a series last month by WDIV in Detroit. ``The idea behind it was protecting kids and the awareness of parents,'' said WDIV assistant news director Bob Ellis. ``The story is so outrageous, it's one of those things that's hard to believe until you see it happen. It's scary when you see it as a parent.''

http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/news/story.jsp...776.htm&sc=1110 Fla. Couple Charged in Daughter's Death OAKLAND PARK, Fla. (AP) - A couple was arrested for beating to death one of their 3-year-old twins, whom they told authorities had hurt herself. Jonas Julien, 37, and Lineda Julien, 33, each face one count of first-degree murder in the death of Ediana Julien, said Broward County sheriff's spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright. The Juliens were being held Saturday without bond. It could not be determined whether they had an attorney. Deputies and paramedics were sent to the family's home Friday morning after dispatchers received a 911 call about a medical emergency. The girl was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, authorities said. An autopsy showed Ediana had multiple contusions and extensive internal injuries, including a lacerated liver and a broken rib, which were in various stages of healing. The Juliens said their daughter had inflicted the injuries herself, Coleman-Wright said. The couple's other children, Ediana's twin brother and two boys ages 6 and 8, were taken into state custody. The twin had signs he had also been beaten, officials said.

Martha Stewart found guilty on all four counts.

http://channels.netscape.com/ns/tv/story.j...20040305XNYR901 Two Networks Bungle Stewart Verdict By DAVID BAUDER NEW YORK (AP) - In the chaotic rush to report the Martha Stewart verdict live on television Friday, at least two networks initially called it wrong and had to quickly correct themselves. CNBC and MSNBC at first reported Stewart was not guilty on some of the four charges against her in the stock-trading scandal. The jury convicted Stewart on all of the charges. The culmination of a trial for a woman who built her homemaking empire in large part on television drew intense interest from TV networks. ABC, CBS and NBC broke into regular programming to report the verdicts. With cameras not allowed in the courtroom, networks had to devise intricate plans to get the news out - involving scarves, placards, cell phones and quick feet. Most networks had staff members in a courthouse room watching the verdict over closed-circuit television. When a verdict was read, the staffers raced to report it. For CNBC and MSNBC, this involved producers who left the courthouse in lower Manhattan carrying placards - red for guilty, green for not guilty - with a number that corresponded to the specific charge against Stewart. CNBC reporter Mike Huckman was standing outside the courthouse with two large posters listing the charges against Stewart and her ex-stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic, and boxes marked ``guilty'' and ``not guilty.'' Huckman marked ``not guilty'' for the conspiracy charge against Stewart and went at least a minute before correcting it, scribbling over the wrong ``X'' with a red magic marker. ``I apologize,'' Huckman said. ``The confusion out here is immense.'' David Friend, CNBC's senior vice president for business news, said the incident should not overshadow strong work done by Huckman during the trial. ``It was chaotic,'' Friend said. ``He had a hard time seeing the verdict as it was coming out of the courthouse.'' On MSNBC, reporter Dawn Frantagelo reported that Stewart was found not guilty on the first charge against her. A graphic with the incorrect information was flashed for six seconds before being taken down. ``I don't know why it was wrong,'' spokesman Jeremy Gaines said. ``It was very loud and it was quite chaotic. There was a small bit of confusion and we corrected it immediately.'' Another network employed staffers who left the courthouse waving color-coded scarves frantically in the air to signal their reporters. CNN used four separate staff producers, one for each count against Stewart, who ran outside and phoned a producer. That producer then shouted the verdict into the earpiece of correspondent Mary Snow. -
http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/news/story.jsp...15.htm&sc=reodd Performer Thrown Off the Air Over Obscenity By Gina Keating LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A popular Asian-American radio commentator has been thrown off a Los Angeles public radio station for using a four-letter word, becoming the latest casualty in the cultural war over obscenity on the airwaves. Commentator Sandra Tsing Loh said her use of the f-word in a prerecorded segment was an editing error but what KCRW-FM's general manager Ruth Seymour said on Thursday was that Loh made calculated use of obscenity in a politically charged time. "It is the equivalent of the Janet Jackson performance piece and there is not a radio or TV programmer today who does not understand the seriousness involved to the station," Seymour said, referring to the now infamous breast-baring halftime show for the Feb. 1 Super Bowl. She rejected Loh's contention that the station had been at fault. "It her responsibility to deliver a program that is ready for broadcast," Seymour said. Loh, 42, learned on Monday from Seymour that her six-year run on KCRW-FM had abruptly ended a day after the station aired her three-minute riff on a Bette Midler concert she attended and in which her musician husband played. "My husband, my soul mate, my ROOMMATE of 15 years -- he sleeps LATE, doesn't LISTEN, moves my STUFF around. But he DOES play guitar for Bette Midler on her MASSIVE new STAGE show. There are times he STANDS within five FEET of her!," the script read. "So I guess I have to f+++ him." Although the quirky, uneven cadence of Loh's delivery makes it appear that the segments materialize in her mind as she walks into the recording studio, they are carefully scripted, she told Reuters. "We discussed it and (the engineer) said, 'Say it and I'll bleep it out," Loh said. The irony of the incident is that she feared Midler would be angry about her commentary and fire her husband. She finds equal irony in being mentioned with shock jocks like Howard Stern, who recently lost several stations over obscenity claims. She noted that she just completed a five-part series on knitting. "It's shocking and I would never have toyed with saying that," Loh said. "Of course I shouldn't say that word on the air. It was never intended to be on the air." Loh will remain an occasional commentator on Minnesota Public Radio's Marketplace, syndicated to about 300 U.S. stations, and as a reviewer for Atlantic Monthly. "We don't see any reason why we would change our relationship with (Loh) because it wasn't on our air," Marketplace Executive Producer J.J. Yore said. "This is really an unfortunate situation and that it happened at a time of such heightened sensitivity."

Police Say 2 Boys Plotted to Kill Teacher

http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/news/story.jsp...324.htm&sc=1110 Police Say 2 Boys Plotted to Kill Teacher SAN DIEGO (AP) - Two middle school students described by police as clean-cut 14-year-olds were arrested for allegedly plotting to kill a teacher who had flunked one of them. Authorities said the plot was foiled Friday after a student at Palm Middle School in suburban Lemon Grove heard the teens boasting about their plans and told his parents. ``It was within a half-hour of happening,'' said sheriff's Lt. Dennis Ferons. The boys were arrested at school and a .25-caliber semiautomatic pistol belonging to the father of one of them was found hidden in bushes on campus, police said. The youths were booked for investigation of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon on school grounds. ``They look just like typical kids,'' Ferons said of the two. Sheriff's officials said the pair hatched the plot after the teacher had flunked one of them. The woman, whose name was not released, is known for staying after school to help her students, and the 14-year-olds allegedly planned to kill her then. One of them was to don a ski mask, walk into her classroom and shoot her, Ferons said. Authorities found a ski mask in one student's backpack.

How do you even know Steph is responsible for this? Oh yes, you don't. I don't give a crap who it is; this shit needs to stop before it gets started again. It is disgraceful to even suggest that Molly is, in any way, fat. Especially when you have a woman about 25 pounds heavier periodically on TV with no fat jokes. Months ago it was reported that someone in the front office told Nidia that she was getting fat and needed to lose weight and it was by Steph HERSELF that told her that. And say what you will about Nidia she isn't fat. Which is why alot of people think she was behind the Molly is a fatass thing.

I think it's fairly obvious that he has none. I think Foley's standards were how much money was Vince willing to dump in front of him in order for him to feud with Orton and try to get him over.

http://money.netscape.cnn.com/story.jsp?fl.../1500189553.htm Verdict Is Reached in Martha Stewart Case By ERIN McCLAM NEW YORK (AP) - The jury reached a verdict Friday in the trial of homemaking icon Martha Stewart, who is accused of obstructing justice and lying to the government about a superbly timed stock sale, a law enforcement source has told The Associated Press. Shares of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia jumped in early afternoon trading as word spread of a verdict, with investors apparently betting that she would be acquitted. The stock jumped $1.63, or 12 percent, to $15.66 within a half hour of the reports. Her company, which announced its earnings Thursday, swung to a profit in the fourth quarter, but took a loss for the year. Many analysts believe the future of the company hinges on the trial, since her public image is tied so closely to the company's marketing. The verdict came on the third day of deliberations in the case. It was not immediately known when it would be announced. Extra security was seen outside the Manhattan federal courthouse where the trial was being held. Earlier Friday, the judge in the case ruled that jurors have sufficient evidence to decide whether Stewart's former stockbroker, Peter Bacanovic, committed perjury. The testimony of Stewart's assistant, Ann Armstrong, and a telephone message log she kept are enough to meet the high standards of evidence to convict a defendant of perjury, U.S. District Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum said. Bacanovic is accused of lying under oath about a message he left for Stewart on Dec. 27, 2001, the day she sold ImClone Systems stock. Bacanovic told the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2002 that the message simply relayed ImClone's stock price. But Stewart's assistant recorded the message as: ``Peter Bacanovic thinks ImClone is going to start trading downward.'' To convict a defendant of perjury, jurors must rely on the testimony of two witness or on one witness whose story is supported by a document. A focus on Bacanovic in the jury's notes shows only that they are considering the charges against him - not which way the jury may be leaning. And it by no means indicates they are focusing more on him than on the counts against Stewart, who is charged with lying to investigators about her ImClone sale on Dec. 27, 2001. Stewart and Bacanovic say they had agreed earlier to sell the stock when its price fell below $60 per share. The jury still must decide on other legal questions, including whether Bacanovic intentionally gave false testimony about the message. Bacanovic lawyer Richard Strassberg strongly objected to the ruling, saying the judge was essentially allowing jurors to reach a perjury conviction based on one witness' testimony. -
