Soccer in Times Square?
De lá pra cá algumas coisas mudaram, mas a paixão dos americanos pelo "futebol" ainda é a mesma: quase nenhuma. Baseball, Football, Basketball, Ice Hockey e até "Golf" têm mais destaque. De qualquer maneira os jornais daqui noticiaram o fato dos EUA terem batido a Espanha, atual número 1 no ranking da Fifa. Para qualquer brasileiro que se preze só existe um critério para o ranking: colocação em todas as copas do mundo. E se algum dia alguém alcançar o Brasil, o critério muda para "seleção que participou de todas as copas". Porque não há nada mais brasileiro que ser exceção.
Dito isto estão todos convidados pois nós estaremos lá:

Food, Inc

Ao meu ver este documentário tratou muito bem o assunto. Apesar dos pesares, traz uma mensagem otimista e mostra a "salvação" através da óbvia, mas difícil, mudança de hábito. Envolva-se você também!
Veja também a entrevista do diretor do filme a WNYC.

GM and Ebay
A. Sell, if you possibly can.
The shares will no longer trade on the New York Stock Exchange beginning on Tuesday. But the stock is likely to trade, in a limited fashion, on the Pink Sheets, an electronic quotation system for companies that do not meet the listing standards for the stock exchanges.
Most shareholders are typically wiped out in bankruptcy, financial planners said, which is why G.M. stockholders should probably dump their shares if they can. Warren F. McIntyre, a financial planner in Troy, Mich., said that many people “don’t realize that usually a new share class is issued and the holders of the old shares are wiped out.”
But getting rid of the stock may be difficult, and if you have too few shares, the brokerage commission alone may wipe out any proceeds from the sale.
If you have the actual stock certificates, you might try to sell them on eBay. You may be able to get more for them as collector’s items. It’s worth a shot.

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right
