Founded in 2002 with the mission of offering exclusive MLB rights to an initial base of about 50,000, mainly hardball-starved expats, NASN now beams a variety of more than 800 live or slightly delayed U.S. and Canadian sporting events to 10 million homes across Europe. This year NASN has added nine countries, including Portugal and Kazakhstan, bringing its total to 32, with the number of digital platforms carrying the channel in each market growing just as rapidly...
...interesting about this collection is that it’s corrective to that perception.” The paintings merge traditional style and the contemporary events in a compelling fashion. Liu Guosong created “High Noon” (1969) after seeing photos of the 1968 Apollo 8 mission. The painting’s unusual rhomboidal format frames and intensifies his graphic shapes and bold colors. “Wintry Mountains” is another of Gusong’s exceptional works.

...rather high. The ashy tones and urban feel just ooze somberness. The girls betray just enough tongue-in-cheek sensibility, however, that we’re willing to stomach some lonesome bed-writhing.

Realizing that large, black men covered in tattoos and wearing “hip-hop” attire only serve to remind their fan-base of the negative things associated with that group...
...headlined with Sarkozy's "French Kiss," while conservative rival Le Figaro noted "Sarkozy Hails Franco-American Friendship." Le Parisien similarly observed "Sarkozy Declares Love for the United States"; however, the newspaper acknowledged the remaining differences by beginning its story on his Washington triumph by using the notorious Bush boast "Mission Accomplished". Other French reports were more pointed on how Franco-American policy views often diverge beneath the new veneer of improved relations - something U.S media inadvertently noted. The Washington Post, for example, headlined "Sarkozy Backs Bush on Iran" - a notion that sounds good now, but which will become untenable...
