Roy Scheider
Roy Scheider, who died on February 10 aged 75, was a versatile and appealing actor who appeared in more than 70 films, including Steven Spielberg's Jaws and William Friedkin's French Connection. Despite his theatrical background, Scheider was best known for playing a string of tough-guys in film thrillers. His weathered face, doe eyes and broken nose gave him a vulnerable air which he often exploited playing down-to-earth everymen attempting to make the best of difficult situations. .
Winehouse wins 5 Grammys; Hancock snags top album
West delivered an electric, glow-in-the-dark rendition of Stronger, then segued into a stirring tribute to his mother, Donda West, who died unexpectedly last year at age 58. "Last night I saw you in my dreams, and now I can't wait to go to sleep," sang West, dressed in all black and with MAMA etched into his haircut, as he launched into Hey Mama, a celebratory tune from his second album that has now turned into a somber ode. When West accepted the best rap album trophy, the orchestra was trying to play him off the stage when he began speaking about his mother. "It would be in good taste to stop the music," West said - and the music stopped. "I know you're really proud of me right now and I know you want me to be the No. 1 artist in the world and Mama," West continued, "all I'm going to do is keep making you proud.

OfficeTeam Offers Tips for Dealing with Unprofessional Colleagues
MENLO PARK, Calif. -- In many office environments, employees have less than collegial relationships, a new survey shows. Twenty-nine percent of respondents recently surveyed said they work with someone who is rude or unprofessional on the job. Of those, 68 percent felt coworkers frequently behave badly -- and not just to the people who report to them. More than half (59 percent) of all workers surveyed said their boorish colleagues are equal-opportunity offenders, upsetting subordinates, peers and superiors alike.The survey was developed by OfficeTeam, a leading staffing service specializing in the placement of highly skilled administrative professionals. The interviews were conducted by an independent research firm and include responses from 532 full- or part-time workers 18 years of age or older and employed in office environments.

The NFL regular season has come to a close and the Cleveland Browns just missed making the playoffs. A few weeks ago it sure looked like they were in good shape as far as the post season was concerned, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Still, the Browns did register a victory over the San Francisco 49ers in their final game and there will be high hopes for this team entering the 2008 season. The Brownies finished with a 10-6 record, far exceeding expectations for this team entering 2007. This is the first time this franchise has reached a double digit win total since they re-entered the league in 1999. They provided many thrills for their die hard fans this season and belive me it was long overdue. I grew up in Cleveland and have been a life long Browns fan, so the following opinion might be a bit bias.
