...Open enthusiasm replaced days of guarded optimism as Hollywood writers streamed out of a Writers Guild of America (WGA) meeting at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium Saturday night. WGA leaders recommended their members approve a contract offer from producers, suggesting a quick - but not immediate - end to the 14-week work stoppage that has crippled the entertainment industry since Nov. 5, interrupting production on television shows like 24 and Grey's Anatomy and costing up to $1.5 billion...
...Certainly with Harvard coming in tonight, I know that added a little bit extra incentive for the enthusiasm with the crowd,” Amaker said. “But certainly they gave a great boost and the players fed off of it, it looked like...

(And given the weather in January, don't expect Chelsea - owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich - to head for Moscow.) Don't expect much enthusiasm, either, from the English fans who sing their lungs out every week watching their teams play, home and away. A flight to Beijing may be a bit beyond of the means of even the most ardent traveling fans of Bolton Wanderers or Derby County...
