LSU won a big game today vs Auburn
Hatch was knocked out - it was bound to happen. The kid just runs with reckless abandon and doesn't have blazing speed as a QB, and when you are in the SEC that's not a good thing. Looks like the Jarett Lee Era has begun. His arm strength was on display on his first TD pass. Les Miles made what turned out to be brilliant calls and should have gone for two onside kicks. =). The defense held up and that was game. Oh and Charles Scott ran for another 100+ yd game.

Usain Bolt - Puma nailed it on this one



So all the talk was on Nike and Adidas, even Li Ning, going into the games.
Well, now that Liu Xiang(Nike), dropped out of his event, the 110M hurdles, Asafa Powell (Nike) and Tyson Gay (Adidas) disappointed --- it's not too early for Puma to make the claim to the title - at least in T&F. Usain Bolt was signed to Puma in 2002. Great investment.
The link to the text article below. Also Puma's Bolt section on their website - there is an interactive game and Chasingbolt Youtube account.

Bolt gives Puma headstart in sales

As Usain Bolt held up one of his gold-decked running shoes for the cameras after his historic 100m victory, the Jamaican sprinter struck a blow in another battle for supremacy.
Bolt’s domination of his rivals fulfilled his pre-race tag as favourite, but for Puma, the German sportswear manufacturer whose Theseus II spikes he was wearing, it was a triumph for an underdog.
But Puma does have Bolt, who goes for two more golds this week. The sight of the fastest man alive lapping up the crowd’s adulation in what may have been the most watched sporting moment of the most watched sporting event of the year gives the company the kind of marketing kick that will have had its rivals quietly fuming.
The 100m final was billed as a showdown between Bolt, his fellow Jamaican Asafa Powell and Tyson Gay, the US world champion, who failed to qualify for the race. But with Bolt signed to Puma, Powell with Nike and Gay with Adidas, it was more than just a running race. “It was a great allusion to the footwear wars,” says Larry Eder, who runs Running Network, an athletics website.
‘You don’t have to have the biggest number of athletes, you have to have the right ones’
The reasoning goes that the company with the most athletes on its books gets the most medals and therefore the better marketing opportunities. Not necessarily so, says Joerg Sobel, Puma’s general manager in the Asia Pacific region. “You don’t have to have the biggest number of athletes, you have to have the right ones.”
As a driver of sportswear sales, the Olympic 100m final is on a level above most other sporting events and, according to Mr Eder, there was “a huge battle” between Puma and Nike to sign up the current crop of talented Jamaican sprinters.

New Starbucks Pinkberry Sorbetto
http://www.starbucks.com/sorbetto/
it's like Pinkberry (after 10 minutes melted) without the toppings. I just used a straw to drink it.
and it only comes in one size 10 oz(small size) for $2.95.
Reasons for why they came out with it(and only in a small size)....they just introduced it to
1)get people to try sample Pinkberry if they haven't tried it, bringing more customers to Pinkberry
2)make Pinkberry enthusiasts want it even more --- if they think it doesn't stack up to the actual Pinkberry dessert
3)option if you can't get to pinkberry.
btw back in Oct of 07 Starbucks sent a $27.5 million cash infusion to Pinkberry to help expand the company's ventures.
Starbucks founder bites into Pinkberry
The red-hot frozen yogurt chain gets a big boost from the man who brought you the $4 latte, reports Fortune’s Matthew Boyle.
October 16 2007: 10:50 AM EDT
(Fortune) — Red-hot frozen yogurt chain Pinkberry has received a $27.5 million infusion of cash from Starbucks founder Howard Schultz’s venture capital firm, Fortune has learned.
The deal, which will be announced later today, confirms long-held speculation that Seattle-based Maveron - whose prior investments include eBay, drugstore.com, and Good Technology, now owned by Motorola - sees a bright future for Pinkberry, which was launched two years ago by a failed restaurateur and a former nightclub bouncer. (See story here.)
Schultz was not available to comment, but in a press release touting the deal he called Pinkberry founders Shelly Hwang and Young Lee “visionary entrepreneurs” and labeled their brand “a cultural phenomenon.”
The burgeoning chain now has 32 stores in New York and Los Angeles, and plans to grow by expanding its roster of company-owned stores and franchises. Hwang and Lee told Fortune earlier this year that they hope to have 50 locations by year-end. Stores in Las Vegas and London are also on tap.
Pinkberry’s tart-yet-sweet yogurt, topped with the customer’s choice of fresh berries, granola, or even Fruity Pebbles cereal, has won it a cult following that includes celebrities like Salma Hayek and Paris Hilton. (Mike Tyson once demanded his cookies and cream topping on the bottom, and the staff wisely complied.) It’s pricey - a large green tea with three toppings is nearly ten bucks - but Pinkberry’s largely female clientele doesn’t pinch pennies.
