www.nma.tv The New York Giants face the Dallas Cowboys at the Meadowlands on Sunday for the NFC East title and the opportunity to get their butts kicked in the playoffs by the Green Bay Packers or New Orleans Saints. Both the Cowboys and the Giants are 8-7, which means that the 2011 NFC East champion will have less than 10 wins for the first time since division play started in the NFL. The game pits Cowboys Tony Romo against Giants quarterback Eli Manning. Both QBs have piled up impressive stats over their careers, but Romo has a history of losing big games, while Manning was MVP of Super Bowl Super Bowl XLII when the New York Giants beat the previously undefeated New England Patriots in one of the biggest upsets of football history. Who will win? Next Media Animation's football analysts predict the 'Boys will lose. The Cowboys always seem to find a way to lose when it counts, and Romo is battling an injury.

www.nma.tv The movie The Iron Lady, a biopic on former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher starring Meryl Streep is set to hit theaters in the UK on Jan. 6. The movie depicts an elderly Thatcher looking back upon the key moments of her tenure as Britain's first and to date only female prime minister. Still a polarizing figure in the UK, the Iron Lady has again provoked debate about the legacy of the greengrocer's daughter from Grantham during the "Thatcher Years" of 1979-1990. Friends and family of the former PM have criticized the movie as "left-wing fantasy," but the script writer has defended the movie, saying Maggie fans will be pleasantly surprised.

www.nma.tv North Koreans braced icy conditions and lined the snow covered streets of Pyongyang on Wednesday, the first of two days of remembrance events for late 'Dear Leader' Kim Jong-il. Kim died of heart failure on December 17 after having ruled the nation since his father Kim Il-sung's death in 1994. He was aged 69. The funeral is also set to serve as a vehicle for the succession of Kim's chosen heir, youngest son Kim Jong-un, who is set to become the third generation of his family to lead the reclusive, nuclear armed state. DPRK's state media has dubbed the 29-year-old as the state's "great successor," "supreme leader" and "sagacious leader".

www.nma.tv North Korean leader Kim Jong-il is dead. State media reported the Dear Leader died on Saturday due to "great mental and physical strain" while on a "high-intensity field inspection." News of Kim Jong-il's death prompted a great outpouring of public grief, though North Koreans could hardly be expected to display any other kind of emotion in the tightly managed Stalinist state. Kim's son, the 20-something Kim Jong-un aka the Bright Leader, is the heir apparent. But the younger Kim is not secure in his power and the elder Kim's death could result in a dangerous power vacuum in what is arguably the world's most dangerous flashpoint and potentially embroil China and the US in a military confrontation in the Korean Peninsula.

www.nma.tv Go Daddy, the largest domain registrar company in the world, raised the ire of the internet by supporting the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA for short. The users of Reddit, in particular, spearheaded a boycott of Go Daddy. Since then, thousands of users have moved their domain elsewhere. Go Daddy has since reversed their stance on SOPA. But it's too little too late. The redditors are going ahead with "Leave Go Daddy Day" on the 29th of December. Competitors such as Hostgator and Namecheap has offered special deals with coupon codes such as NODADDY or SOPASucks. This is not the first time Go Daddy has attracted controversy. Founder Bob Parsons is fond of shooting elephants, and the company has been accused of snapping up the domain names of customers who let their accounts lapse. But their support for SOPA could prove the costliest PR disaster of all.

nma.tv People around the world are preparing to celebrate the 2012 New Year, but some who buy into doomsday theories based on Mayan mythology are preparing for what they believe is the beginning of the end times. According to the Mayan Long Count calendar, December 21, 2012 signifies the end of the 13th Baktun, a unit of time measurement equal to about 394 years. What exactly the Mayans believed will happen when the rollover occurs is being debated among scholars and Internet commenters alike. A prophesy engraved on a slab of rock at the Tortuguero archaeological site in Mexico foretells the Earthly arrival of the Mayan god Bolon Yokte, which some alarmists have linked to other, hotly contested predictions involving natural disasters and cosmic events. Detractors feel December 21 will not mean the end of time. They offer the fact that Mayans made mention of dates past the 13th Baktun as proof. As is the case with all doomsday panics, like Y2K at the start of the 2000s and this year's more recent claims from Harold Camping, only time will tell if the year 2012 is anything to fret.

nma.tv House Republicans have rejected a compromise package on extending a payroll tax cut. Unless congress can break the impasse, working Americans will see a payroll tax hike of two percent starting January 1st, 2012. Barack Obama has blamed Republicans for opposing the extension, even after he has compromised on the issue of the Keystone XL pipeline project. However, this was not enough for Congressional Republicans, who has come up with their own one-year extension proposal. But the Senate has already gone on holiday. With nobody to work with the House and the deadline of January 1st fast approaching, it looks like Americans will be getting a most unwelcome late Christmas present...a tax hike.

Neti pots are a kind of device that delivers a nasal rinse, reliving those suffering from congestion and sinusitis. However, users are warned to only use their neti pots with distilled or boiled water because tap water could be contaminated with amoebas that attack the brain. The amoeba lands in the nasal cavity before traveling up to the brain. They literally eat the brain cells, causing encephalitis. Although amoeba infections are thankfully rare, once they take hold, the results are often disastrous. Users of contact lenses have also been warned to take precautions swimming or showering with your contacts in increases your chance of introducing an amoeba infection to your cornea.

www.nma.tv An RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone sent by the American military into Iraq on a reconaissance mission has been captured by the Iranians. This has been an intelligence disaster for the US, as the drone contains sensitive technology, and a publicity coup for Iran's Mahmud Ahmadinejad. While Americans are still scrambling to figure out how they lost the drone over Iran, another drone crashed in the Seychelles on Tuesday. Drones have also been in the news when a sheriff in North Dakota called for support from a predator drone in the arrest of a farmer who failed to return cattle that strayed onto his property. US president Barack Obama has come under criticism from former Vice President Dick Cheney for not calling air strikes to destroy the drone before it could be captured by the Iranians. Instead, Obama asked the Iranians to return the drones, even as the administration acknowledged that the Iranians were unlikely to do so.

Previously, when paying by debit card, 44 cents would go to banks. The Durbin amendment cut those fees in half. This upset large corporate banks. They vowed to make back the fees somehow. Some banks such as Bank of America are doing so by hitting ATM card users with new monthly fees. Customers such as Kristen Christian are outraged. Christian has declared November 5 shall be Bank Transfer Day. Will it be enough to get the attention of big banks?

Famed Penn State University football coach Joe Paterno has been fired as a shocking abuse scandal tears through the campus. The pressure was on Paterno since the arrest of Athletic Director Tim Curley and another administrator, Gary Schultz. They are charged with lying to a grand jury and failing to report claims that a former football coordinator abused several young boys. Paterno also knew of the activity, but wasn't charged with a crime. At the center of the scandal is Jerry Sandusky, 67, who is facing 40 counts of various forms of abuse. Prosecutors say he was involved with eight boys between 1994 and 2009. Some sources claim there may be as many as 17 victims. Sandusky allegedly met his victims through his own youth charity, The Second Mile. Curley and Schultz were made aware of the abuses in 2002 when they met with then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary, who reported seeing Sandusky with a 10-year-old boy in a school shower. Other incidents allegedly took place at Sandusky's home and at a high school. One boy claimed Sandusky plied him with lavish gifts and marijuana. The two administrators each posted $75000 bail. Penn State is paying their legal fees, citing the charges have to do with how they performed their jobs. Sandusky was released on $100000 bail.

www.nma.tv The BBC is in trouble with feminists for choosing a panda named Tian Tian as one of 12 female Faces of the Year. Critics say the pick deprecated female achievement in 2011. The hashtag #pandagate is now trending on twitter, as well as the #realwomenoftheyear tag, meant to counter the Beeb's list. Tian Tian, or Sweetie in English, lives at the Edinburgh Zoo. Pandas, an endangered species, are star attractions at zoos all over the world. But they cannot be owned, only loaned from the Chinese government. Apart from being adorable, however, pandas are pretty much useless. Pandas are relatives of bears who evolved to become vegetarian. However, they are so inefficient at digesting bamboo, their only food source, that they must eat nine hours a day to get the energy they need to survive. The rest of the time, they are probably sleeping. Pandas are also notoriously uninterested in sex for the most part. In short, it's no accident that they are one of the world's most endangered animals despite the massive effort exerted to conserve them. Are pandas so cute they must be saved, or should we just let evolution take its course and let them go extinct?

nma.tv The US International Trade Commission has given Apple a partial victory in its patent dispute with HTC over the Android operating system. The ruling, however, was more favorable than expected as the Taiwanese company emerged victorious in three of the four patent claims. So what exactly did Apple win? Well, you know how you can tap on a phone number to auto-magically call that number when it appears in an e-mail or text? Apple says it owns that and other user interface features. As a result of the ITC ruling, HTC must discontinue offering the feature in its Android phones. HTC has some time to fix the code in its handsets that run Android, which is provided by Google. From April 19, 2012, HTC will no longer be allowed to import into the United States Android handsets containing the UI features. While it's a small victory for Apple, it's a important step toward the company's long-term goal to crush Android. The late Steve Jobs told his biographer that he wanted Google to stop stealing ideas from Apple. Jobs said: "If you offer me $5 billion, I won't want it. I've got plenty of money. I want you to stop using our ideas in Android, that's all."

The Chinese government imposed the one-child policy in 1979. It has prevented 400 million births and allowed China to limit its population growth much faster than most developing countries. But the one-child policy has also resulted in gender-selective abortions and female infanticide that have distorted the ratio of male to female births, with 118.1 boys currently born for every 100 girls. The natural ratio of boys to girls at birth is 1.05:1, according to UN figures. A Next Media Animation / Chris Davidson collaboration. LYRICS: They call me a little emperor of the one Child policy But stick around and you'll find what I've found it's not easy to be me See science made it possible to give birth to only boys Now everyone wants Y-chromosomes for their little bundle of joy.

www.nma.tv Next Media Animation takes a look back and the life and career of Apple co-founder and chief executive Steve Jobs, who resigned that position late on Wednesday. Our tale begins with Steve Jobs dabbling in LSD and spiritual enlightenment, which Jobs describes as the "one of the two or three most important things [he had] done in [his] life". Man, look at all the colors. Hey, that gives me an idea for a company logo. Jobs would then found Apple with Steve Wozniak and a third guy who cashed out his shares waaaaaay too early, so we didn't bother to animate him. In 1984, Jobs unveiled the Macintosh and forever revolutionized personal computing. But the good times wouldn't last. John Sculley, the executive Jobs hired away from Pepsi, bounced Jobs from the company he founded. Jobs would get his revenge by starting another company, Pixar. He produced 'Toy Story' and sold the animation company to Disney for a fat profit. Jobs finally returned to Apple and defeated arch nemesis Bill Gates to become the baddest mofo in tech. Jobs was then diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and required a live-saving liver transplant. Apple now faces a threat from Google Android. Thankfully, Jobs can pass the baton to chief operating officer Tim Cook.

A first-round draft pick out of Nebraska last year, Suh has already established himself as the "dirtiest player" in the league, according to a poll of fellow players conducted by the Sporting News. The former Husker has nine personal fouls in his first two years, a league record, and has been fined a total of $42500. If Suh is suspended, he would lose $82000 per game in lost salary.

www.nma.tv The collective bargaining agreement between NBA players and owners expired on July 1, initiating a lockout. Players currently receive 57% of basketball-related income. Owners are lobbying for a more even split. Owners claim most teams in the league are bleeding money, saying they lost a combined $300 million last year. Critics are skeptical of the grim picture owners paint. Teams are able to earn millions through local TV deals. The players aren't exactly hurting, either.

www.nma.tv The BBC is in trouble with feminists for choosing a panda named Tian Tian as one of 12 female Faces of the Year. Critics say the pick deprecated female achievement in 2011. The hashtag #pandagate is now trending on twitter, as well as the #realwomenoftheyear tag, meant to counter the Beeb's list. Tian Tian, or Sweetie in English, lives at the Edinburgh Zoo. Pandas, an endangered species, are star attractions at zoos all over the world. But they cannot be owned, only loaned from the Chinese government. Apart from being adorable, however, pandas are pretty much useless. Pandas are relatives of bears who evolved to become vegetarian. However, they are so inefficient at digesting bamboo, their only food source, that they must eat nine hours a day to get the energy they need to survive. The rest of the time, they are probably sleeping. Pandas are also notoriously uninterested in sex for the most part. In short, it's no accident that they are one of the world's most endangered animals despite the massive effort exerted to conserve them. Are pandas so cute they must be saved, or should we just let evolution take its course and let them go extinct?

www.nma.tv The Boston Red Sox suffered for decades under the Curse of the Bambino. But with World Series wins in 2004 and 2007, it seemed the curse had been reversed. The Sox were doing well before blowing up in September. Some do not blame the Bambino, but a pitching staff that got lazy eating fried chicken and drinking beer during games. In the most epic implosion in history, the Red Sox went from leading the division to missing out on the playoffs. Manager Terry Francona and GM Theo Epstein are gone. Star hitter David Ortiz might be next. How would Big Papi look in pinstripes?

www.nma.tv Radio host Howard Stern announced through the Howard Stern Show show's Twitter account Thursday that he will be a judge on the NBC competition show America's Got Talent. Stern will join co-critics Howie Mandel and Sharon Osbourne when he takes over for Piers Morgan, who is leaving to concentrate on his CNN show, Piers Morgan Tonight. Stern will begin taping episodes in February, but they won't be shot in Los Angeles, where America's Got Talent has been produced for all of its six seasons. Instead, production will move to New York so that Stern can continue his Sirius XM Radio program. He is one year into a new five-year deal with the satellite radio carrier. Analysts estimate Stern's Sirius deal is worth $400 million. NBC representative Paul Telegdy praised Stern in a statement about the deal, saying the broadcaster's "larger-than-life personality will bring a thrilling new dynamic to America's Got Talent starting this summer." Joining an NBC show will be a strange homecoming of sorts for Stern. His 1985 firing from NBC's now-defunct New York City radio station was the stuff of legend, brought to life on the big screen in the 1997 film adaptation of Stern's semi-autobiographical book, Private Parts. Stern spent the better part of his terrestrial radio career at odds with the FCC, living up to his reputation as a crude "shock jock." The reigns of censorship loosened when Stern signed with subscriber-based Sirius, but he will once again find himself under <b>...</b>

nma.tv Yao Ming was born to play basketball. His parents were former pros and Yao was double the size of the average Chinese baby. Yao led the Shanghai Sharks to a CBA championship, before Houston made him the No. 1 NBA draft pick in 2002. Many questioned Houston's decision. Charles Barkley said if Yao scored more than 19 points in a game, he would kiss a fellow basketball analyst's ass. Yao proved them wrong. Over his career, he averaged 19 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocks. He made the NBA popular in China. Yao retired today, at age 30, as one of China's richest men. His business empire includes his former team, the Shanghai Sharks.

www.nma.tv Political squabbles mean Belgium has been without a federal government for 15 months. A caretaker government with limited powers is in charge. Europe has been plunged into a deep economic funk. Belgians, however, seem oblivious to the chaos around them. England responded to bad economic news with cuts, but Belgium's caretaker government does not have the power. Belgians were spared from austerity measures. It doesn't hurt that salaries and pensions are indexed to inflation. Belgium is experiencing healthy growth while many Eurozone rivals remain stalled. Maybe more countries should go without governments.

nma.tv Steve Jobs did not ask to read his biography by Walter Issacson before it was published. But he got the cover design he wanted. The biography, which was published just weeks after Jobs died, is now projected to be a bestseller. In it, we find out Jobs regretted not getting surgery sooner. He told Obama he was a one-term president. And he said Bill Gates "would be a broader guy" if he dropped acid. The biography also hints at a new version of Apple TV controlled by Siri. It looks like the spirit of Steve will be with Apple for some time to come. Will Apple carry out Jobs' goal of waging "thermonuclear war" on Android? Afraid that Apple will flounder like Disney after Walt passed on, Jobs told his successor Tim Cook never to ask "What would Steve do?" Instead, Cook should do what's right.
