| Strike rubs glitter off Golden Globes
But the ceremony has nevertheless found its perch in awards-obsessed Hollywood and grown into a television hit, bringing NBC as much as $20 million in annual advertising revenue.
But striking screenwriters refused to give this year's Golden Globes ceremony a waiver for its writing staff, and the Screen Actors Guild said it would honor any WGA show pickets. Facing a celebrity-free evening, NBC, the association and producer Dick Clark Productions tried to work out a WGA compromise, but when the guild remained steadfast, the traditional awards show was scrapped.
In its virtual disappearance, though, the Golden Globes may never have been more prominent.
The show's cancellation proved that the WGA, especially in solidarity with SAG, can still wreak havoc over network television, even with a show such as the Golden Globes that is ostensibly unscripted.
Knicks' Marbury to miss at least two more games with bad ankle
Marbury went after practice Monday to see specialist Dr. William Hamilton, who found inflammation around a chronically fractured bone spur. Hamilton recommended Marbury wear a walking boot for three days before being evaluated with an MRI exam. Marbury will miss games for the Knicks against Washington on Tuesday and at New Jersey on Wednesday, but told reporters at practice he would have surgery if it was recommended. "If the doctor says I have bone spurs in my ankle and he says I need surgery, I'm going to get it," Marbury said. "I'm going to get it taken care of. I'm not going to wait or hesitate because that's my career." Marbury didn't practice Saturday and missed Sunday's 89-65 victory over Detroit because his ankle was sore. He needed surgery to remove bone spurs from the same ankle after he was hurt in 2001, though the procedure was done over the summer.

"Showing your lawyers in the best light? Print the bios of your lawyers and your closest competitors and then compare the printed copies side by side. Who stands out? Who looks superior? Web site analytics programs show that visitors to law firm Web sites view lawyer biographies three to four times more than any other pages on the Web site. Visitors are searching for, finding and validating referrals to lawyers. The bios must be current, relevant and written with your most important experience right up front."

They can get flu-like symptoms, but it will be much different from the flu, because it should last only one or two days, where the flu can last a week or longer.
