Misconception 3: &x93;Super Bowl Sunday is about the parties more than the game!&x94; &x97; My experience is that most people don&x92;t want to host or attend SB parties but do so out of obligation or habit. Fans of the competing teams especially would rather be dialed in and quietly concentrating on the game rather than have the TV screen constantly blocked by a parade ofdress-alikes and Uncle Dave up grabbing his 45th beer.

We clear up misconceptions about Super Bowl? 10,What South Florida sports ns are talking about:1. SUPER BOWLIt&x92;s Patriots and Giants and parties on Super Sunday: Tom Brady&x92;s wife emailed mily friends that, &x93;I feel Tommy really needs our prayer at this time.&x94; Sure, people are homeless and bankrupt but the mous, handsome young millionaire married to the supermodel is the guy who needs your prayers.2. NATIONAL SIGNING DAYGolden, Hurricanes beat odds with top-10 bounty: A day of triumph Wednesday for UM, with Miramar CB Tracy Howard and Norland RB Duke Johnson leading a national top-10 recruiting class despite cloud of NCAA investigation. You want a visual: How about Al Golden with a balled fist socking Nevin Shapiro?3. HEATLeBron, D-Wade voted as all-star starters: Fan voters rewarded LeBron James for the MVP season he is having and didn&x92;t care, apparently, that Dwyane Wade has missed nine games injured and is averaging only 20 pointWe clear up misconceptions about Super Bowl? 10s. Free pass for Wade? Maybe. Then again, he is better than most guards who are healthy.4. ANGELO DUNDEEFamed boxing trainer passes away at 90: Dundee was a fixture in Muhammad Ali&x92;s corner and career, an icon in the heydays of Miami boxing and the 5th Street Gym, and a kind, enthusiastic man right to the end. A bell rings 10 times for a sweet man in the sweet science. It is a requiem for a heavyweight in his sport.5. BRANDON MARSHALLDolphins receiver stars, then disses: Marshall was Pro Bowl MVP with four touchdowns then dissed teammate Matt Moore by saying his elite Pro Bowl QBs put the ball &x93;right on the spot for me.&x94; Dear Brandon, your 14 dropped passes last season, including four dropped TDs, suggest that isn&x92;t enough for you.

•&xA0;Patriots receiveris the NFL&x92;s most prolific user of Twitter. Sometimes he gets carried away. I half expect that at one point in Sunday&x92;s game he&x92;ll tweet, &x93;I&x92;m wide open in the left flat!!!&x94;
Misconception 1: &x93;People are more interested in the commercials than the game!&x94; &x97; This is an obvious lie promulgated by the iled movie directors relegated to producing TV commercials, by the advertisers blindly paying $3.5&8201;million for a 30-second spot, and by the media who run those &x93;ad meter&x94; rankings to instantly gauge if people found the talking cat funnier than the dancing donkey. Fact: Your car company&x92;s $3.5&8201;million is going down the drain as surely as the urine America is expelling during the mass bathroom break taken while your commercial airs. I mean, seriously. How many times can you watch teams of hat-wearing Bud Clydesdales and Coke polar bears tackle?
Misconception 2: &x93;People are more interested in the halftime show than the game!&x94; &x97; This is an even greater lie. The NFL has made a habit of aligning itself with once-hip, now-safe performers who were either popular in the &x92;60s or are nowtheir 60s, like The Who. Sunday&x92;s halftime star is, a pup of 53, born the yearwas a young Colt. SB halftime shows are awful for the overwrought bombast, for the rehearsed-to-death n-actors who rush the stage, for the hokey orchestrated light shows in the crowd, and mostly for the lip-syncing. I can do without a wardrobe malfunction, Madonna. But the prerecorded music suddenly cutting off would be sort of neat!
I&x92;ll be brief. I just wanted to quickly correct the four misconceptions about Super Bowl Sunday:

Misconception 4: &x93;People care about the game itself.&x94; &x97; That is true, but only to a limited extent. Patriots ns and Giants ns (in this case) care passionately about the game. Most of the other 95 percent of us who care enough to watch are not rooting for a team but for our own wallet, for bets and office pools. That is what keeps us watching the entire game, even as a projectile of Uncle Dave&x92;s 46th beer splatters off the hi-def and onto the violet dress of a parading ux Kardashian.
A&160;rare snowll forced authorities to stop visitors from entering the Colosseum, Rome&39;s mous tourist site.
Metro stations in the capital, Kiev, have become sanctuaries of warmth for the homeless. Emergency authorities have set up hundreds of heated tents around the country to provide food, drink and shelter.
Bitterly cold weather that has claimed hundreds of lives in eastern Europe swept westward over the continent on Saturday, blanketing Romes Colosseum with snow for the first time in nearly three decades and disrupting air and rail traffic.
In Belgrade, soldiers were deployed to clear the central boulevard. Hundreds of unemployed responded to an offer of 1,600 dinars (10 euros) pay to join snow clearing efforts.

Thirty percent of flights at Londons Heathrow Airport on Sunday have been canceled amid forecasts for snow and severe weather.
The Emergencies Ministry said of the 122 people who have died over the past eight days from hypothermia and frostbite, 78 were found dead on the streets.
Europe tries to shield homeless in deep freeze
I live in a social care home most of the time. But they throw you out of there at 8 in the morning, said Olexander, a homeless man, at a refuge in a Kiev park on Saturday.
Near Moscow, a couple and seven of their children died in a blaze at their makeshift home overnight, apparently victims of a badly rigged-up stove which burned out of control. A nine-year-old girl was the sole survivor, Russian state TV said.
But in the capital tens of thousands took to demonstrated to demand ir elections in a march against Vladimir Putins 12-year rule despite minus 17 Celsius (1 Fahrenheit) conditions, and supporters of the prime minister staged a similar sized rally.

The ex-Soviet republic of Ukraine, where night temperatures have been as low as minus 33C (minus 27F ) in the past eight days, registered the highest death toll as bodies continued to be found, some buried in snow in outlying parts of the country.
In Rome, residents bewildered by their citys first big snowll in 26 years used government-issued shovels to clear sidewalks and piazzas, and kitchen utensils to clear windshields Saturday.
To the west, hundreds of passengers spent the night at Amsterdams Schiphol airport - one of the busiest in Europe - as their flights were delayed or cancelled.
In one area of central Sarajevo, men shoveling the deep snow were being given tea, coffee and hamburgers and meatballs that local women had barbecued. One elderly man who didnt know how to help out stood at an open window of his house playing his clarinet.
It is good they have thought of putting these up, he said, nodding at the tent. If we can just get through this frost, things will get easier.
But the crisis also produced camaraderie.
Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this story.
The cold spell touched North Africa too. Palm trees bowed under the weight of snow in Algiers after a freak snowll of at least 10 cm (four inches) - the first there in eight years.
I havent worked for months and I have a mily to feed, said Zoran Djidovac, a 30-year-old former metal worker. The authorities said well be working for several days so this money will make a change for a while.
Bosnias government declared a state of emergency in its capital on Saturday after Sarajevo was paralyzed by snow, and hundreds of people remained trapped in their homes and vehicles throughout the country.
Stations become sanctuaries
The presidents of Croatia and Serbia who had attended a meeting with the Bosnian leadership on Friday were holed up in the Jahorina mountains after being cut off by heavy snowlls.
The snow as deep as 8 inches (20 centimeters) in some neighborhoods made buses and taxis scarce and shut down tourist sites such as the Colosseum. It also covered the dome of St. Peters Basilica, blanketed ancient arches in the Roman Forum, and toppled some towering umbrella pine tress near the Vatican.
STORY: Europe tries to shield homeless from deadly freeze
In neighboring Poland the story was similar with the dead mainly among the homeless. Several had been overcome by fumes from primitive stoves in poorly-ventilated premises. Others died by drinking too much and lling down, unnoticed, in the snow.
More than three feet of snow fell in Sarajevo on Saturday, closing roads and public transportation. Some neighborhoods reported water shortages, and residents struggled to make it to local shops to shore up on food. Several people said they witnessed fist fights in shops over loaves of bread.
Saturdays snowstorm, coming a day after a light snowll, combined for the bigginches to centimetersest accumulations since 1986, and left many motorists stranded on the citys beltway and its ancient and narrow consular roads.

Updated IE to version 7... nothing.

Of course its been rebooted multiple times and ipconfig /renew
I tried all what you tried, reinstalled (without formatting) , but nothing changed.
It is unfortunate that nobody responded to your problem. I have the same one.

Not one of these worked. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Spent hours on this particular problem! Re-installation is NOT AN OPTION so if thats the only advice you have Id prefer not to hear it.
Are you by any chance running the Zone Alarm firewall?
LSPFix was also ran for good measure but only had the three normal things listed.
When the computer is booted in safe mode with networking support it works like it is supposed to.

WinsockXPFix was ran but didnt fix anything.
Hello,
All other computers at the network DO NOT have this problem.
Thisinternet explorer cannot display the web page could indicate a netwok problem? Router? or could be as as a network cable, I really cannot figure it out. Ill keep testig and let you know..

I can ping both the IP and the Domain name with 60+- ms.
I just ran a Spybot S&D scan and it produced the following:
Thank you for your response. In ct it is strange, as all computers in the network have similar access priviliges. What I did is I exchanged the connection and IP settings with another computer (less used) on the network. Now I have access, but the other computer does not, so the problem is still there, but not for my computer at least.
Followed the advice here:
Please post back after youve followed these steps Ill continue to watch and see what happens.
In a second read through of what was going on I realize two users are having the same problem but one of them has tried something that seems to have fixed the problem but caused it on another. Well both of you should try out my possible solutions and tell us if any of it works for you.
Reset all IE and Firefox deults and lowered their security levels to the min.
Help please..
Hijackthis didnt really have anything suspicious but I killed off a couple of other things anyway.

MS released an XP update last week KB951748 which causes ZA to block web access. Solution is to shutdown ZA, download the update from below and install/update your existing ZA installation. Link below:
-install it to a new folder alongside your program files and then... rename hijackthis .exe to imabunny.exe
Cleared all users temp, temporary internet, cookies, and history.
Ill keep u updated.

Cleared out winsock and winsock2 registry entries.
This goes for Yahoo mail, Hotmail, and gmail. Even pop3 mail is not accessible.

When you goto click the mail link on their page it gives you the "Internet Explorer Cannot Display Page" yada yada bs. The exact link is First thing you would assume is router or firewall issues. Well, the only firewall on the PC is the windows firewall which is now disabled. As for the router, it is properly configured to allow traffic through and 4 other pcs that go through the same router work fine.
Hi Ryan, I have read your post and it sounds exactly like the issue that I had earlier in the week but that I have now solved.
All other computers at the network DO NOT have this problem.
Did "netsh winsock reset"
-in that folder start HijackThis by dclicking the .exe; now close ALL other applications and any open windows including the explorer window containing HijackThis.

Ran ad-aware scanner, found below normal pieces of malware, 6.
I am a irly computer savvy guy, but this latest problem I am dealing with has me stumped. Ill give you a break down of the issue:
Let me know if this helps.
This however should be posted in the viruses/nasties forum.
-Tracking Cookie(Internet Explorer: Fubar)
Hello there, i dont if this will solve your problem. but a few things. In addition to viruses, your computer may be infected with spywares, Trojans, worms, adwares, viruses and other malwares. I recomend XoftSpySE and a registry cleaner. I had a similar problem, after cleaning the registry, my internet explorer was running brand new. The software to help you with your registry: RegCure and Regpair. Some of the above mentioned programs can be downloaded at Please use these utilities and lets know the outcome. Also, there are softwares out there such as Explorer Repair that resets your TCP/IP settings, deletes ARP Cache, repair your host files, checks your winsock files . Do the following to post a hi-jack log which well address for you, you must first download the software from: hijackthis:
-Internet Explere(Fubar): Cookie:[email protected]/()
Start->Run->msconfig, disabled everything from starting up, as well as all non-microsoft services.
Zandiago if you had taken the time to read what he posted youd learn that, viruses/spyware wasnt the problem.
Did a Recovery Point from a month ago.
A person brought me their PC because they could not access their Yahoo Email account. The problem seems to be related to winsock or something similar:
Post the log here so that we can take a look at it. Have a good day.

Uninstalled the NIC card and let windows reinstall it.
I ran CWShredder without any issues.
Reset router, just to be certain.
Im sorry to hear that you are now having that same problem. When I worked as a PC Tech I actually encountered it more than once... that post was just my first experience with it. I dont remember the exact remedy but I believe in the end we just did a complete system wipe and reinstall. I know it sounds like the last resort but thats only because it is. As r as I can tell I did everything that I could to troubleshoot that problem. Good luck with it! Please post a response here if you figure it out!
Internet Explorer and Firefox Cannot Display the Page internet explorer cannot display the web page,Hello,
No one has posted to this discussion for at least three months. Please let old threads die and do not reply to them unless you feel you have something new and valuable to contribute that absolutely must be added to make the discussion complete. Otherwise, please start anew threadin this forum instead.
I work as a computer tech so fixing these problems should come easy. I have done everything the original posted had done and nothing worked. So i was thinking maybe something got firewalled somewhere along the lines. Maybe there is an invalid key somewhere in some program this computer has. I opened up the add/remove programs under control panel and noticed norton firewall was installed. I uninstalled norton and walah mail.yahoo.com finally was working. It seemed that there was a bad registry key that norton was producing in the hosts files for norton. I do not recommend any of our clients using norton. zone alarm may cause the same result...
Windows Security Center.AntiVirusDisableNotify
-Internet Explere(Fubar): Cookie:[email protected]/()
Downloaded and installed firefox, that gets absolutely no internet access.
I have had this same issue. I could goto any other site but the mail.yahoo.com page.
-click the Scan and Save a Logfile button.
It seems to me like youre having a secure sites problem. However this isnt the case as only one computer at a time is having the problem if I understand correctly what youre saying. Have you tried clearing cache browsing history etc. Also have you tried to make sure that the clock on the computer is set to the correct time. Not sure if this will help you or not but in some cases if the clock isnt correct secure sites will not allow you access. Other than that youve already ran all the virus scanning and spyware checking software, youve reset internet explorer to the deults.. I hope. I cant remember in your post if you said you had tried firefox, if you havent try that. Sometimes internet explorer just gets fubarred. The only thing that will fix it then is a reinstall of the operating system. However once again I dont think this is the case as you mentioned that you did some kind of switch of ips and whatnot and got another computer to stop working and the computer thats not working working? This is strange indeed, well try my steps listed. Also since you mentioned that you tried switching ips and it fixed the problem you might try setting the computer in question up with a static ip. Instead of obtaining it automatically. This may fix the problem if as you said you were able to resolve the problem by switching ips with another computer. At least thats the gist of what I thought you meant.

When the Celtics and Knicks ced off in the very first game of the NBA seasonon Christmas Day, they both looked like the trendsetters in the Atlantic Division. Over a month later, both teams have hit hard times, although the Celtics are finally their way out of it. However, Boston still had early problems against a New York team that is now hitting much worse times.

However, this remains the same Celtics club that looked ready to break up the Big Three a few weeks ago. Now it is the Knicks who are on the verge of lling apart and big changes to get out of a horrible slump. Yet Boston has started to win again without tearing its foundation apart so r, although an actual championship run still looks unlikely at the moment.

Al Jefferson scored 18 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to help the Utah Jazz beat the Los Angeles Lakers 96-87 Saturday night.
But struggling this much to beat the Knicks shouldn&39;t be something to be proud of, given how r they have llen since Christmas. The Celtics had to hang around a now 8-15 team until they got hot, as they wound up only shooting 40 percent for the night. Yet even with 26 points from,20 fromand 16 by,the Knicks still didn&39;t have enough to win.
ThePhiladelphia 76erswere playing a real statement game against theMiami Heaton Feb. 3.

Despite not getting over their hump against the Heat, the Sixers have to feel confident that they can hold off the Celtics and Knicks. But at this point, it does appear that the Celtics are the team that Philadelphia has to actually worry about - or at least the only one in this division that comes close.
Jeremy Lin scored a career-hig9h 25 points and the Knicks salvaged the finale of a back-to-back-to-back set beating the Nets 99-92.
While the Celtics didn&39;t have their best game, they improved to 12-10 and are now 3 1/2 games behind the Sixers in the Atlantic Division. Although the Knicks appeared to be the Sixers&39; biggest Atlantic competition on Christmas Day, the Celtics seem like they are putting themselves back together. If Philadelphia finally comes back down to Earth - as it just did against Miami - then Boston could be in position to win the division again after all.
The Knicks had a 10 point lead late in the third quarter and looked ready to finally stop their bleeding - and maybe save Mike D&39;Antoni&39;s job for a little while longer. But then Boston woke up in the fourth, ascarried the Celtics over the top just like in the old days. His 30 points and nine fourth-quarter points frompushed Boston to a91-89 victory, avenging its Christmas Day defeat in Madison Square Garden.
