Anderson Cooper -- Attacked in Egypt

Anderson Cooper got up close and personal with the political upheaval in Egypt this week. A bit too up close and personal, it turns out.

While reporting from Cairo - where demonstrators loyal to embattled President Hosni Mubarak were protesting - Cooper and his camera crew were "pushed and shoved and punched in the head" by attackers, CNN reports.


Luckily, no one was hurt.
Says Anderson, who was reportedly bludgeoned 10 times: "The instinct is try to punch back... but in a situation like that you really can't because that just inflames the crowd all the more... so all we could do is just try to walk as quickly as possible, stay together and seek a safe location, which is where we are now."

Thank goodness. If those crazies damaged a single hair on the Silver Fox's head...

Chicago Blizzard of 2011 [LIVE CAMS]

After all the dire predictions and pre-emptive school closings, the snowstorm has arrived ... big time.

If you live in the Midwest, you can look out a window and see what the snowpocalypse looks like. Surge Desk's windows are a long way from Chicago, so we thought we'd check in on the Windy (Snowy) City via webcam to see how it's doing.

Turns out watching a blizzard from a distance isn't quite as exciting as tweeting about a blizzard. See for yourself.

The Chicago Sun-Times has a camera set up at its downtown headquarters. Those rooftops sure look cold:

The Nazril Ariel Peterpan video scandal was a big national controversy in Indonesia and even made headlines around the world, including here in the Philippines.

We had quite similar case here when scandalous videos of model-doctor Hayden Kho Jr with a number of women including sexy actress Katrina Halili also leaked online in May 2009 with the latter filing a case against the former for allegedly taking the video without her consent.

Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Cyborg Results



















Evangelista Santos, aka Cyborg, is one of the most entertaining brawlers in the history of mixed martial arts. With a middle of the road record upon first glance and only one fight at welterweight he had many fans claiming that he was not worthy of a shot at Nick Diaz and the Strikeforce welterweight crown. For the better part of two rounds Cyborg proved the doubters wrong by going nearly punch for punch with Diaz before making a tactical error that got him submitted via armbar.

Through two rounds Cyborg stuck to the gameplan of landing hard leg kicks, right straights and uppercuts while Diaz kept distance with a powerful jab and occasional right hand. The two men seemed to be engaged in some violent agreement to take turns landing heavy blows. Diaz would pin Cyborg to the cage and flurry only to have Cyborg get distance and land leg kicks and blistering right hands and then they're repeat.

With about thirty seconds left in round two, Cyborg went for a takedown and quickly found himself defending against an armbar. Diaz was able to get the arm fully extended with about ten seconds to go and force the tap. The takedown only makes sense if it was Cyborg attempting to secure the round on the judges scorecards but it was a bad idea to play into one of Diaz's main strengths in the submission game.

Cyborg should have earned everyone's respect with his performance tonight and Diaz managed to survive a legitimate challenge to retain his title. This was a great fight to cap a fun card for Strikeforce and we should get to see if Diaz can handle another big time striker if Strikeforce makes the logical fight for him against Paul Daley.

NHL Skills Competition 2011 to Continue All Star Momentum?



















The NHL skills competition 2011 is playing second fiddle this weekend. Normally, the NHL skills competition 2011 would be the major event before the All Star Game tomorrow. However, the new All Star Draft idea has stolen the spotlight in Carolina this year. After Eric Stall and Nicklas Lidstrom selected their teams in last night's big show, it may be hard for the rest of the weekend to top it. Yet the NHL skills competition 2011 might have a better chance to do that than the All Star Game itself.

In All Star events, the events before the game generate the most interest. Baseball has the Home Run Derby, while basketball highlights their slam dunk contest. For hockey, they have a variety of exhibitions for their stars to shine in.

Starting at 7 pm, the NHL skills competition 2011 will contain six events, although the competitors aren't named in advance. It begins with the Fastest Skater event between two teams of six, including a final match race between their fastest men.

Second is the Breakaway Challenge, which Alex Ovechkin has won each of the last two years. Three shooters from a team will take four shots, with fan voting to determine a winner. Afterwards, the Accuracy Shooting event has six players on two teams trying to hit their styrofoam targets.

The second half of the NHL skills competition 2011 contains the Skills Challenge Relay, the Hardest Shot, and the Elimination Shootout. At some point, all of the All Stars will take part in at least one event, with some likely to be in multiple contests.

There's no one major event that dwarfs the whole night, like with the Home Run Derby and the Slam Dunk Contest. But these events are more inclusive than the others, since everyone has to take part in something. Baseball and basketball superstars often turn down their big All Star contests, which hasn't often helped them stay relevant.
