From 2-1 to 3-2 in extra time.

Paolo Di Canio: Sunderland reign that lasted only six months
I thought that I would not pay much attention to Sunderland this season. The presence of the controversial manager (Di Canio) was a minor factor. However with the hiring of Jozy Altidore, things changed a little. Now that Di Canio has been fired, I think the team will improve.
Both pundits on NBC sports network were saying that they though he would not be fired and that he would get at least a few more weeks to straighten things out.

Football / Massive coverage of the EPL on NBC
« on: July 30, 2013, 01:22:09 AM »NBC is really committed to broadcasting soccer. The upcoming schedule is simply incredible.
http://www.sbnation.com/2013/7/29/4568642/2013-14-nbc-epl-tv-schedule
NBC announces massive EPL schedule to open season
NBC, NBCSN and CNBC will combine to televise 69 games through Dec. 1.
Well, Premier League fans were promised coverage like they'd never seen before, and the NBC Sports Group appears to have delivered.
The network announced its EPL schedule through December 1 on Monday, and it features an impressive commitment to the league. NBC itself will air 10 matches live on Saturday afternoons, while NBC Sports Network (soon-to-be rebranded as NBCSN) will air 57 matches on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. CNBC will chip in with two additional Sunday matches, while Telemundo and mun2 will handle Spanish-language broadcasts of 27 matches.
NBC will also make every game available via TV Everywhere (the NBC Sports Live Extra App) and via a new package that works similar to the MLB Extra Innings or NFL Sunday Ticket packages. This is known as Premier League Extra Time. To date, AT&T U-Verse, Cablevision, Comcast, DIRECTV, DISH and Suddenlink have opted to carry the Extra Time package. Verizon hasn't agreed to carry Extra Time, but does grant access to the NBC Sports Live Extra app. 100 other partners have also opted in. If you'd like a definitive yes or no, perhaps leave the name of your provider in the comments and we'll get it sorted out.
The way things work is as follows: typically, NBCSN will air a game at 7:45 a.m. ET that has already been scheduled. At 10 a.m. ET, they will air a match that will be determined as the season goes along (a spokesman for NBC told me to expend the announcement of the first month soon). NBC will air 10 matches between now and Dec. 1 live at 12:30 p.m. ET. It is the largest-ever commitment to EPL (or really any soccer league) by a broadcast network in the United States.
Arlo White is the lead play-by-play man for the EPL on NBC. He'll call two matches per week with either Lee Dixon or Graham Le Saux. Rebecca Lowe hosts NBC's studio show for all Premier League coverage.
What follows is NBC's 69-game schedule of EPL matches through Dec. 1. Note that some matches are subject to change due to things like Europa League matches moving games back from Saturdays to Sundays, but most of the matches listed here are fairly set in stone.

beIN is excellent for WCQs. They showed most of the concacaf games from the previous round. Can’t help but reminisce that in 2005 I was the lone Trini guy supporting the warriors, and surrounded by Guatemalans, in this restaurant here in Northern California.

At the recent Arnold Palmer invitation, and in the previous tournament that he played, it seems as though a new version of the old tiger is back. In addition it seems as though he is a little more settled in his personal life. Is this his time?
A few players ahead of Tiger today (Friday), and McIlroy who is a serious contender is close behind. Should be an exciting weekend!

I never met or talk to dctrini, and only knew him from his posts. Yet this news has hit hard. To hear of that kind of loss and under those circumstances really makes one ponder, and suggest that we should always carefully examine the circumstances/situation that we are sometimes ensnared in or get ourselves into.

Norwich at home today @ 1.30, if don't get anything it really is twitchy bum timecan't honestly say which way it will go. Repetitive but unfortunately true.
Sunderland got lucky three times in this game! Maybe they will stay up after all.
Even since Norwich entered the Premier league (with that magical run up the leagues) they are one of two small clubs that I look at with some favor.

Google these; (the street and Radio Tambrin have coverage of the meetings almost nightly)......
91.9fm the street
and Radio Tambrin also has a link but depending on which browser you use you might have difficulty getting them. I have to switch to Internet Explorer to get Tambrin instead of google which I usually use. And even then the stream is not reliable IMO.....
I95.5fm also carries some coverage but the bigger events like the PNM Roxborough event last Sunday. I suspect that might be your best bet for coverage election night in terms of radio. All the TV stations will probably carry coverage of the results but may not stream it live.
Hi Brownsugar,
Thanks for the response and the Radio station info. I already listen regularly to Radio Tambrin and it is disconcerting that the stream is not up all the time. So far the stream has been available during the rallies. It is good to hear about an alternative 91.9, and I will check them out.
I was really asking about a live video transmission. The announcers mentioned a live TV signal that people in Australia etc can pick up over the internet. And a couple of times the announcer was telling people at the rally not to stand dey because of the camera etc.

« on: January 14, 2013, 08:02:28 PM »I have been listening on Radio Tambrin to many of the candidates at the various rallies. The passion and intensity associated with this THA election is the highest that I have ever heard. Why is it so hot? I talk to friends and family in Tobago and they all think that it is critical. However except for the length of PNM stay in power (12 years), I don’t see any particular issue that really stands out. TOP preaching that they can do a better Job, and they may be correct, but every party that is out of power always claim that they can do a better job. People arguing about who can deliver free health care the best. And I am here in the USA and cannot ever get free health care. It is a classic struggle for power without real distinctions in platform/position. It is not like one side favors the rich and the other the poor, or some similar distinctions. I like the rallies, the debate, etc.
The announcers at the TOP rally tonight (14 Jan) kept saying that it is being transmitted live on the internet. Anyone knows which website or channel is carrying those rallies? Any links?
Full disclosure: One of my family member is a PNM candidate, and a very very good friend from High School is a TOP candidate.

Brief bio I found on Dr. James. He is a Tobagonian by birth and is part of the new party formed in 2012 MDD (Movement for _________________ and Democracy) but they aren't fighting the elections, just holding these meetings around the island talking about the boundaries issue.
"Dr. Vanus James is currently a Honorary Senior Research Fellow at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus. He is a graduate of the University of the West Indies, where he obtained his B.A in Economics. He earned his Masters in Economics and his Ph.D degrees at the New School for Social Research in New York. His post-doctoral studies were pursued at the University of Michigan, USA, Auburn University, Auburn, Montgomery, Alabama and Hofstra University, New York.
He was an Assistant Professor at Brooklyn College, and Tuskegee University in Alabama. He tutored at Hofstra University in New York, and also at the University of the West Indies, St. Agustine Campus, in his native Trinidad.
Dr. James has worked extensively on numerous projects as a consultant and a researcher locally, regionally and internationally. Locally and most recently, he conducted a study for the World Bank and the Government of Jamaica on “Impact of Cost Sharing on Education in Jamaica.”
He has written numerous papers, both published and unpublished on issues dealing with Economics and has recently produced a refereed paper on “Import Productivity Growth, Capital Deepening and Caribbean Development: Some theoretical Insights (Forthcoming, “Social and Economics Studies”, December 2004)
The list of Dr James’ papers is extensive, impressive and available upon request."
