The USA vs Canada gold medal game time is set to start at 12:15 PM ET. The US hockey team has already defeated Canada in their first meeting during these winter Olympic games. Now the Canadian hockey team will try to get the win on the most important game of the two. Will the US have enough to beat Canada a second time.

Yahoo reports: Canada, the hockey superpower, was always supposed to play for the gold medal on home ice in the very country that invented hockey. The United States, the infrequent power that hasn’t won a hockey gold outside its own borders, has been the best team in the Olympics so far.

Beating Canada on Canadian ice with a pro-Canadian crowd once was difficult enough for the U.S., the surprise of the tournament and the only unbeaten team remaining.

“It’s hard to beat a team twice in a tournament like this,” U.S. coach Ron Wilson said. “But we’ve beaten Canada, and we’ll play better than we did the last time we played against them.”

The Americans have no choice unless they’re to leave the Olympics with the silver for the second time in three Olympics. Canada also defeated them in Salt Lake City eight years ago.

“We all talked, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice?’ and now we have the opportunity,” said Ryan Miller, perhaps the best goalie in the games. “We have the talent. We have some youthful excitement, we have the right kind of veteran players.”

Those U.S. youngsters—14 are 25 or younger—have won every game in regulation in Vancouver. They didn’t give 2006 silver medalist Finland a chance in the semifinals, scoring six goals in the opening 13 minutes and winning 6-1.

The Canadians have been very good since losing to the U.S., blowing out Germany 8-2 and Russia 7-3, but they’ve also shown vulnerability. The Americans’ speed bothered them, and they held on to beat Slovakia 3-2 in the semifinals Friday night as Roberto Luongo gave up two late goals.

“We’ve got to jump on them early,” American forward Ryan Kesler said Saturday. “The Russians and Slovaks sat back and we’re not going to do that, we’re going to go right after them from the puck drop. We’re going to have to get in his (Luongo’s) face.”

No lineup can match Canada’s for depth, talent and versatility. But this isn’t a seven-game series, it’s a 60-minute game, and the Americans already know they can beat Canada.

If they have few fans in the building, so what? Every crowd in Vancouver has rooted for the Americans’ opponent.

Again USA vs Canada Gold Medal game time will be at 12:15 ET. Hopefully the best wins.

Marie Osmond son death is still under investigation according according to some reports. One must feel bad about this tragedy knowing Marie is an example of a good mother after having eight children. I would assume she is devastated by this tragedy but knowing her she is probably being strong as she addresses the media.

CNN Story Marie Osmond’s 18-year-old son Michael Blosil has died, a family spokesman said Saturday. “My family and I are devastated and in deep shock by the tragic loss of our dear Michael and ask that everyone respect our privacy during this difficult time,” the entertainer said in a statement through spokesman Alan Nierob. Brian Elias of the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office said the death is under investigation. Her Web site, written last September, describes her as “the proud mother of eight beautiful children who are always her greatest treasures.”

Many people who know Marie Osmond, would say she is a very caring lady.  It is devastating to us all to hear that her 18-year old son ha just passed away.  Her son, Michael Blosil, died unexpected, which investigators still have not found answers.  According to the Los Angeles Coroner’s Office, the investigation is currently under-way, but answers seem to be more difficult to find than expected.

Sevensidedcube story Marie Osmond, for those who are not familiar with her, has eight children.  Five of her children are children that she has adopted, which Michael Blosil is one of the five.  She had adopted the five children in her last marriage, when she was married to Brian Blosil.  Their marriage ended abruptly in 2007 when they filed for divorce.

Marie Osmond son death hopefully does not stop Marie from performing and doing what she does best caring for her other children.

Wow who would’ve thought there would be a Ventura Tsunami. Apparently the earthquake that took place in Chile sent Tsuanmi warnings all over the Pacific and there are reports that it reached California more specifically Ventura where many boats were destroyed and many boat owners had a tough time getting control of their boats. Fortunately there were no reposted injuries caused by the Ventura Tsunami, this occurrence is very rare in California and even though the damage was minimal it caused concern on the people who live around the area.

Reports say that a tidal surge estimated at 3 metres slashed Ventura Harbor about 1 p.m.

According to the NOAA Pacific Tsunami Warning Center scientists, tsunami waves are also known to have hit Hilo Bay and Kahului. The two aves had a 20 minute gap.

No damage has been reported in Hawaii as tsunami waves traveled past Hawaii.

Federal Government closed Wednesday. According to the OPM Twitter and internet site the central government will remain closed on Wed. Feb ten, 2010 because there’s a warning by the forecasters relating to another snowstorm that’s advancing towards Washington D.C, Philadelphia and New York which should add more snow to the capital of the state.

Replying to the winter weather, central government stayed close on Monday and Tues. and it is going to be around a week since the govt staff have been off work. On the Office of Staff Management ( OPM ) internet site a message was posted at 6:50 PM EST on Tues. the government will remain closed on Wed. . About 230,000 central government workers are kept in the home by the snow. After government will close on Wed. , all told the central government would’ve been closed for 4 days.

So there is not any guarantee of the opening of the government after Wed. however the work will go on regardless of the undeniable fact that the government will remain closed for some days. The necessary services of the govt are performed at the offices somewhere else in the country and about 85 percent of the staff work outside of the region of the Washington and others are homeworking. Together with the closure of the central government, lots of other offices and faculties will remain close on Wed. . In the lat 6 years this is the 3rd one. The majority of the flights were cancelled on Tues. after eight PM in Philadelphia’s airfield and the flights in the Washigton DC’s airfield were predicted to stop about five PM. West Verginia Governor Joe Manchin suggested the govt officers to clear the snow from the general public buildings roofs as a disaster was occurred in 1998 when roofs fell down and led to the demise of 3 folk.

Ali bachelor gone. The Bachelor has been a good rating show for ABC, and Season fourteen has been no different. This season’s Bachelor Jake Pavelka, has actually selected ladies who like a little bit of drama. There are currently only 3 girls remaining, after tonight’s shock exit by Ali. The other who are struggling for Jake’s affections are Tenley, Gia and Vienna, all extremely different girls coming from different backgrounds. And if you’ve been watching the show you’ll know already there wasn’t any love lost between Ali and Vienna. Tenley is twenty-five, and is deemed the good girl of the show, though at twenty-five she has been divorced and still appears perturbed by the fact. This should be as it was comparatively fresh. She on the show told Jake how her ex man cheated on her.

And it appears getting the final with Jake then having wedding to think about again could be the very last thing either of them need. Where as Ali, was also twenty-five is seen by fans as doubtless the nearest thing that Jake has for wedding potential. It appears she hasn’t any dramatic past events to come to the surface and act as a barrier or problem for a potential future with Jake. Her hatred for Vienna has changed into a focus point of the show.

But she selected to leave the show before the rose rite happened. Gia aged twenty-six, is a swimsuit model, and has actually had a racy photograph shoot for Adage mag splashed across the web. Fan’s see her as only looking for celebrity from the show, though there does appear to be real feelings there for Jake. Though having to live in Texas to be a better half to Jake could be beyond what Gia can offer. Gia has dated a couple of high profile men including, NY Yankees pitcher Carl Pavano and Chris Campoli from the Ottawa Senators. And Vienna who is twenty-three, who appears to be this years most detested bachelorette. She was married as a teenager where the wedding failed, and her version of the 10 month wedding is very different from her ex men. But the worst skeleton from her past is that her Ex chatted with US exclaiming that she has emptied his account while he was in Iraq, presumably taking $5000 to get breast implants.

She has posed for a raunchy mag with the photos also posted on the web, outwardly showing she is also more looking for celebrity than love.

Craig Ferguson Twitter more than we wnat to know. The CBS Late Late Shows Craig Ferguson is now on Twitter, and causing quite a buzz with his tweets. He enrolled less than 12 hours before his first tweet, which contained a swear word. Then only 2 mins later on followed with more profanity. It appears from this point he started getting dependent, updating his standing on the micro-blogging social marketing site frequently.

Craig Ferguson twitter from his thoughts on Super Bowl to Mythbusters he tweeted about a couple of things. And Ferguson isn’t the only Late Night talk host who is on the site, Jimmy Fallon from NBC is also joined up to the service which he did before his show had premiered. He’s now more than 2.4 million proponents and also has sent out about two thousand tweets since beginning his account. Ferguson spoke of his account on his debut show on Tues. morning, certainly to make his fans increase, inside just one or two mins they raised by two thousand. Ferguson spoke on his account, The fact that I’m on twitter doubtless means it’s on the way out, he revealed.

Hylton Motorsports driver Jill George of Cedar Falls, Iowa was treated and freed from the Daytona Global Speedway Infield Care Center following a situation on lap twenty-five of the Lucas Oil Slick Mist two hundred. She was making her first appearance in an ARCA Racing Series event and had raced her Hylton Motorsports Dodge Charger into the top twenty-five.

George, an approved chiropractor and NCAA Basketball Referee, spun in turn four of the high banked superspeedway as she attempted to bypass the remains of Jesse Smith’s Dodge Charger. “I saw the tire blow on the twenty-nine car,” stated a dejected George “I guided to miss him and then I found myself sliding the wrong way up across the track.” George was credited with a 31st place finishing position in the ARCA Racing Series opening event of the 2010 season. “I am truly anticipating racing again in the ARCA Series” stated George “I truly had the time of my life this week.”.

She is a willowy five feet seven and 120 pounds. She’ll discuss with you constantly about your interests.

And she will have sex when you please — so long as her battery doesn’t run out. Meet Roxxxy, who could be the planet’s most up-market speaking female sex robot. For $7,000, she is all yours. “She doesn’t vacuum or cook, but she does pretty much everything else,” expounded her inventor, Douglas Hines, who exposed Roxxxy last month at the Adult Entertainment Expo in Vegas, Nevada. Lifelike dolls, synthetic sex organs and sex-chat telephone lines have been keeping the lonesome company for years.

But Roxxxy takes virtual companionship to a higher level. Powered by a PC under her soft silicone “skin,” she employs voice-recognition and speech-synthesis software to answer questions and carry on talks.

She even comes piled high with 5 distinct “personalities,” from Frigid Farrah to Wild Wendy, that may be programmed to suit customers’ preferences.

“There’s an incredible need for this type of product,” claimed Hines, a P. C. scientist and previous Bell Laboratories engineer. Roxxxy will not be available for delivery for a couple of months, but Hines is taking pre-orders thru his internet site, TrueCompanion.com, where thousands of men have signed on. “They’re like, ‘I can not wait to meet her,’ “Hines related. “It’s sort of like the expectation of a first date.” Ladies have inquired about ordering a sex robot, too.

Hines recounts a female sex specialist even made contact with him about purchasing one for her patients. Roxxxy has been like catnip to talk-show hosts since her debut at AEE, the biggest porn-industry convention in the country. In a monologue, Jay Leno expressed awe a sex robot could carry on lifelike talks and express practical feelings. “Luckily, guys,” he joked, “there’s a button that turns that off.” Curious conventioneers packed Hines’ AEE booth last month in Vegas, asking questions and stroking Roxxxy’s skin as she sat on a couch in a black slip. “Roxxxy generated a large amount of buzz at AEE,” asserted Grace Lee, spokesman for the porn-industry convention. “The prevailing sentiment of everybody I rapped with about Roxxxy is ‘version 1.0,’ but folk were intrigued by the postulate, and it caused them to rethink the probabilities of ’sex toys.’ “Hines, a self-professed happily wed man from Lincoln Park, New Jersey, claims he expended over 3 years developing the robot after attempting to find a marketable application for his artificial-intelligence technology. Roxxxy’s body is made of hypoallergenic silicone — the sort of stuff in prosthetic limbs — moulded over a stiff skeleton. She won’t move on her very own but can be contorted into just about any natural position. To form her shape, a female model spent a week posing for a collection of molds. The robot runs on a self-contained battery that lasts about 3 hours on one charge, Hines says. Shoppers can recharge Roxxxy with an electric twine that plugs into her back. A motor in her chest pumps heated air thru a tube that winds through the robot’s body, which Hines asserts keeps her warm to touch. Roxxxy also has sensors in her hands and genital areas — yes, she’s anatomically correct — which will trigger vocal replies from her when touched. She even shudders to simulate orgasm. When anyone talks to Roxxxy, her PC converts the words to text and then uses pattern-recognition software to match them against a database containing lots of suitable replies. The robot then answers out loud — her prerecorded “voice” is supplied by a nameless radio host — thru a loudspeaker concealed under her wig. “Everything you assert to her is processed. It is very near realtime, about without delay,” Hines asserted of the dynamics of human-Roxxxy conversation. “To make it as realistic as practical she has different dialogue at different times. She talks in her sleep. She even snores.” ( The snoring feature can be turned off, he asserts. ) Roxxxy understands and speaks only English for the moment, but Hines’ True Companion company is developing Japanese and Spanish versions. For an additional fee, he’ll also record customizable dialogue and phrases for each customer, meaning Roxxxy could talk with you about NASCAR, say, or the complexities of politics in the Middle East. Hines believes that Roxxxy is a step above other love dolls — the similar but mute RealDoll costs circa $5,500 — because her conversational capabilities provide something close to emotional friendship. His client base? Shy, ungainly or older blokes who “have difficulty meeting girls,” he is saying.

Police in Peru say they have airlifted the last of the travellers stuck near the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu after floods wiped out road and rail links. Almost 1,300 visitors were flown out by copters on Fri. , a local officer said to the Associated Press. A total of virtually four thousand visitors and local residents have now left the area following last Sun.’s heavy flooding.

The Machu Picchu site, which draws more than four hundred thousand visitors a year, will be closed for one or two weeks. Officers say it will take lots of time to correct the train line that leads to the World Heritage Site high in the mountains. Holiday makers were marooned in the city of Aguas Calientes, at the foot of the ruins, after the torrential rain detached road and rail links. On Fri. , 7 helicopters - working in revolution - were ferrying out the visitors to the nearby town of Cuzco.

“Not a single visitor remains in Machu Picchu or in the city of Aguas Calientes”, Tourism Minister Martin Perez. The evacuation, which lasted for nearly a week, was organised by age, with the aged and kids taken first. Younger visitors - typically in their 20s and 30’s - were the last ones to leave the area. Some visitors had to depend on locals for food after money machines dried up and costs for some goods surged. A number of hostels were reported to have risen costs significantly. The train to the town of Cuzco is the sole method of transport on the last leg of the trip to the Machu Picchu ruins, and has been postponed since last weekend when it was blocked by one of forty landslides in the area. 5 folks are reported to have died, including 2 residents finished when their home was devastated, and a trekker crushed while sleeping in a tent.

Jay Novacek wife has been found dead. The spouse of previous Dallas Cowboys tight end Jay Novacek has expired, a spokesperson with the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office related on Monday afternoon. LeAnne Novacek, forty five, was discovered dead at 9:05 a.m, according to Linda Anderson, spokesman for the Tarrant County coroner’s office. At 8:37 a.m, Burleson police and fire departments answered to “a report of a medical emergency, possible suicide” at a residence in Burleson, according to Burleson police dep.

spokesman Sally Ellertson. The body was discovered in the bedroom of the home, according to the police report. Ellertson declared police on the scene called the Tarrant County coroner’s office, investigators and a victim’s help coordinator. The Tarrant County coroner’s office asserted a postmortem would be performed on Tues. .

The police enquiry is continuing. Jay Novacek, 47, played 6 seasons for the Cowboys from 1990 to 1996.

The five-time Pro Bowler, who ranks ninth in team history with 3,576 career receiving yards on 339 receptions, was a beloved member of groups that took 3 Super Bowls in 4 seasons. He used to be a sixth-round draft choice out of Wyoming in 1985 by the St. Louis Cardinals. After a back injury compelled him to miss the 1996 season, Novacek quit in 1997. He and LeAnne continued to live in the area after his retirement, and Novacek stayed concerned with team. He signed autographs at Cowboys Stadium earlier this season.
