Greenlit: House Party, Channel 4

House Party (1 x 360?) ? In an unprecedented live television event, Channel 4hands? In the past DJs have taken over warehouses, fields, car-parks and derelict office blocks. This summer, for the first time ever, DJs take control of a national broadcaster to bring the country together with a six-hour House Party that hands over creative control over to six world-class DJs, including Grandmaster Flash and Annie Mac.

With no advert breaks, no commentary and no interruptions, this all night takeover will see a line-up of top international DJs play live to the nation with six hour-long sets in a clubbing experience like no other ? this is not a programme about clubbing; this is the club. The television turns into the ultimate DJ booth with the party blasting through the TV, phone and laptop screens, without the mediation of a presenter or studio audience, to transform living rooms, bedroom and bars across the nation into dance floors.

The DJs ? many of whom are stadium fillers and festival favourites in their own right ? will leave their meticulously prepared ?main-stage? sets at home to go back to their DJ roots. The line-up will include a founding father of New York rap, the legendary Grandmaster Flash and internationally renowned club and radio DJ and new talent champion Annie Mac with further names to be announced in due course.

In addition to the top DJ talent on offer, a selection of the nation?s most exciting cutting edge VJs, computer animators and graphic artists will provide a constant video and graphics, playing visual sets every bit as live and unrehearsed as the DJs? musical selections.

Alongside the DJs and VJs, the booth will also include a brand new third element of the clubbing experience: Social Media Controllers, who will provide a live and super-reactive link between the audience and the booth. Just like at any other nightclub or house party, people on the dance floor in their homes around the UK will be able to shout out their requests, chat to each other, salute a genius selection (or boo a dud) through the many social media sites hooked up to the booth online and via the House Party website.

Dane Cook jokes about 'Dark Knight' shootings

By Kurt Schlosser, NBC News

Comedian Dane Cook took the stage at the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles Thursday night and joked about the massacre at?an Aurora, Colo.,?movie theater less than a week after it happened.

The shootings left 12 dead and 59 hurt at a midnight screening of the new Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises."

"So I heard that the guy came into the theater about 25 minutes into the movie," Cook says in a clip on YouTube.?"And I don?t know if you?ve seen the movie, but the movie is pretty much a piece of crap ... yeah, spoiler alert.

"And I know that if, ya know, none of that would have happened, I'm pretty sure that somebody in that theater, about 25 minutes in, realizing that it was a piece of crap, was probably like 'ugh,?(expletive) shoot me,'" Cook said.

A mix of groans from the audience turned into laughter and cheers before the audio clip ends.

Some commenters on YouTube tear into Cook for joking about the incident so soon, if at all.

"What a hack. He's trying to legitimize himself by do edgy, 'dark"' stuff, but he doesn't have the goods. Stick to your frat boy-slaying crazy dude persona, Dane," writes ChillyCheezItz.

Others defend the comedian and his right to joke about what happened.

"In his defense he was talking? about the movie sucking ... Find humor in pain. I love his comedy. Always have always will," says TheSteffeec.

Last week, Playboy model Tricia Evans beat Cook to the apparent punchline with a tweet on the same day as the shooting. "I hear the new Batman movie is really 'to die for!' Too soon?" she wrote. Deadmau5, the electronic dance musician, was among those who?later blasted Evans in a tweet of his own.?A debate over the merits of her comedy ensued and Playboy finally stepped in to make sure no one thought the magazine was writing her material.

Backlash over Cook's joke also comes on the heels of another comedian feeling the heat for what he said during a stand-up act. Daniel Tosh, of Comedy Central's "Tosh.O", apologized earlier this month after getting slammed for a rape joke directed at an audience member, also at the Laugh Factory.

Last summer, actor/comedian Tracy Morgan famously went to great lengths to calm the storm after joking about how he would "pull out a knife and stab" his son if he?was gay.

Update, 5:53 p.m. ET: Cook issued an apology on his Twitter feed, saying that he regrets telling the joke.

"I am devastated by the recent tragedy in Colorado & did not mean to make light of what happened."

"I made a bad judgment call with my material last night & regret making a joke at such a sensitive time. My heart goes out to all of the families & friends of the victims."

What's your take on Cook's joke? Should some subjects be off limits? Is it just too soon, or should people lighten up? Discuss on Facebook.

JustFab Just Nabbed Another $76M To Take Its Fashion Platform International And Beyond Shoes

Another big round of funding in the currently-chic area of online retail and fashion: JustFab, the online shoe/fashion brand and styling platform with six million members, has raised $76 million, funding that it will use to go big on international expansion. The Series B Round was led by new investor Rho Ventures, with participation from existing backers Matrix Partners, Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV) and Intelligent Beauty, JustFab's parent company, which incubated and launched the startup in 2010. The total amount of money now raised by JustFab is $139 million. After a launch in Germany earlier this year that went "significantly better than we expected," co-CEO Adam Goldenberg tells me that the main priority right now is to continue that international expansion to one of the biggest fashion markets in Europe. "We are launching in the UK in September," he tells me, with more markets to be added by the first quarter of 2013. Currently, he says, JustFab is adding half a million users every month, and is on track to make $100 million in revenue this year -- a big leap on the $28 million of 2011 -- on a business model that mixes a subscription-based user-base with other users buying a la carte.

PFT: Ex-Viking Leber rips Favre's attitude

AP

Before the question can be asked regarding whether current players care about former players, the first question is whether the current players even know who the former players are.

Earlier this week, a concussion lawsuit led by former Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler pointed to the fact that the league?s Super Bowl XLVI commercial regarding decades of changes to the rules fails to mention ?how recidivist violators like James Harrison (who has had five illegal hits on quarterbacks in three seasons) are allowed to continue to play the game.?

We noticed that language, appearing at paragraph 145 and page 65 of the 209-paragraph, 80-page complaint, we mentioned it, Alan Robinson of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review repeated it, and Harrison was asked about it on Thursday by Tim Benz of WXDX radio.

Here?s the relevant exchange.

Benz:? ?James, are you aware of the story about the lawsuit mentioning your name in Philadelphia and if so what?s your reaction to it??

Harrison:? ?I?m not aware of it.?

Benz:? ?Ken Stabler and some of the other former pro football players in a concussion suit referenced you as a guy that was a repeat offender and maybe should be out of the game.? When you hear former players say that about you ??

Harrison:? ?Who is ? Ken who??

Benz:? ?Ken Stabler.?

Harrison:? ?Who is that??

Benz:? ?Former Raider quarterback.?

Harrison:? ?Never heard of him.? His opinion doesn?t matter to me.?

Frankly, Stabler?s opinion shouldn?t matter to Harrison.? But it?s a little surprising that Harrison has never heard of the guy.

We realize that plenty of the men who play pro football aren?t passionate fans of the game.? And we don?t expect football players to be football historians.? But for a key member of the Steelers to not know the name of a Super Bowl-era quarterback who won a Super Bowl and who played quarterback in some of the most celebrated games in Steelers history is a little strange.

Then again, if Ken Stabler?s opinion doesn?t matter to Harrison, mine definitely doesn?t.

?Who is ? Mike who??

Hopes for ECB action help European markets

LONDON (AP) ? European stocks recovered Thursday as hopes for central bank action to ease the financial crisis tempered worries that the economic downturn is hurting corporate earnings.

Markets have been rattled over the past few days by fears that Spain, the fourth-largest economy among the 17 states that use the euro, could need a bailout along the lines of Greece, Ireland and Portugal.

Markets recovered somewhat on Thursday on reports that European Central Bank President Mario Draghi told a conference of investors in London the bank could intervene in markets to bring down the government borrowing rates.

After trading lower, Germany's DAX was up 0.1 percent at 6,410.25 while France's CAC 40 was 1 percent higher at 3,112.45. Britain's FTSE rose 0.5 percent to 5,523.28. The euro rallied to trade 0.5 percent higher at $1.2214.

Wall Street was expected to open higher, with both the Dow and the S&P 500 futures up 0.4 percent.

Borrowing rates for Spain and Italy fell following the ECB President's remarks. The yield on Italy's 10-year bond dropped to 6.35 percent. Madrid's main interest rate, however, remains unsustainably high at 7.21 percent.

Marc Ostwald, an analyst at Monument Securities, welcomed Draghi's comments that high borrowing rates could hurt the bank's efforts to control inflation. Market-watchers took that as a signal that the ECB could be more willing to intervene in markets to lower those borrowing rates ? which the bank has in recent months said is not part of its mandate.

"They hint at a possible attempt to circumvent the restrictions on outright government bond purchases," said Ostwald.

Market sentiment had also been given a boost already on Wednesday, when ECB policymaker Ewald Nowotny suggested that Europe's bailout fund could be given a banking license. That would give it the ability to borrow money from the ECB. Such a move would be of particular significant for Spain and Italy as the current bailout fund does not have enough money to rescue them both.

Draghi's comments helped offset mostly gloomy news from corporate earnings. Major companies like engineering group Siemens and carmaker Volkswagen warned that the economic slowdown in Europe would hurt profits in coming quarters. That hurt stocks in the industrial and automotive sectors.

Siemens shares were down almost 4 percent while Volkswagen fell 2.3 percent. Telecommunications maker Alcatel-Lucent suffered an 8.6 percent drop. Oil company Shell, which reported lower profits, saw its shares fall 3.1 percent.

Consumer goods maker Unilever was a bright spot, gaining 4.7 percent after reporting a strong rise in profits. But its improvement in business was due to growth outside of Europe, where sales in fact fell.

Earlier in Asia, indexes mostly rose, though gains were kept in check by more evidence of the toll that Europe's prolonged debt crisis is taking on the region. South Korea, Asia's fourth-largest economy, said economic growth slowed to a two-year low in the second quarter as weakness in Europe crimped demand from South Korea's biggest market China.

Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average climbed 0.9 percent to 8,443.10 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 0.1 percent to 18,892.79. South Korea's Kospi gained 0.7 percent to 1,782.47. Australia's benchmark rose 0.6 percent to 4,147.70 while the Shanghai Composite shed 0.4 percent to 2,126.

In energy trading, benchmark crude for September delivery was down 12 cents at $88.85 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract rose 47 cents on Wednesday in New York to end at $88.97.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) ? Cole Hamels and the Philadelphia Phillies have agreed to a $144 million, six-year contract that prevents the 2008 World Series MVP from becoming a free agent after the season.

The deal includes a club vesting option for 2019 and a limited no-trade provision, the team announced Wednesday in a statement.

A news conference is scheduled for noon before the game against Milwaukee.

It's the largest contract signed by a Philadelphia athlete and second-highest for a pitcher behind the $161 million deal the New York Yankees gave CC Sabathia in December 2008.

The 28-year-old Hamels becomes the third Phillies starter making $20 million per season, joining Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee. A three-time All-Star, Hamels passed up an opportunity to possibly get more money on the open market to stay with the team that drafted him in 2002.

The lanky lefty is 11-4 with a 3.23 ERA this season. He's 85-58 with a 3.38 ERA in seven years in Philadelphia. Hamels has never won more than 15 games in a season, and his 2.79 ERA in 2011 was the only time he was under 3.06.

Hamels reached the majors in 2006 after battling injuries in the minors. He went 15-5 with a 3.39 ERA in his first full season in 2007, establishing himself as the team's ace and helping the Phillies win the first of five consecutive NL East titles.

He was the team's ace in '08 when he went 4-0 with a 1.80 ERA in five postseason starts. Hamels was MVP of the NLCS against Los Angeles and helped the Phillies beat Tampa Bay in five games for their second World Series title in franchise history.

Hamels struggled in 2009.

He was just 10-11 with a 4.32 ERA that year, and pitched poorly in the postseason as the Phillies tried for a repeat. Hamels was passed over for veteran Pedro Martinez to start Game 2 of the World Series at hostile Yankee Stadium. Hamels then blew a 3-0 lead in a pivotal loss in Game 3, and New York took the series in six games.

Following the additions of Halladay and Lee, Hamels went from ace to No. 3 starter. He began 2011 as the No. 4 starter behind Halladay, Lee and Roy Oswalt. There's no doubt that Hamels is the team's best pitcher this season ? and now richest, too. Halladay is 4-5 and Lee is 1-6.

@CNTraveler approved El Conquistador #Hotel, a Waldorf Astoria ...

I?ll let the June 2012 Conde Nast Traveler tell you about this great deal to the El Conquistador Hotel, a Waldorf Astoria Resort, in Puerto Rico. I?ll just add that The Deal Mommy can get it for you at almost half off what the ?experts? say you should pay!

Kids Ages 4?8

El Conquistador Resort, Fajardo, Puerto Rico

Less than an hour?s drive from San Juan?s airport, this recently renovated 984-room resort is all cheerful hues and the latest in-room gadgets. But what really matters to the early-elementary-school crowd is Camp Coqui, an all-day recreation program with everything from scavenger hunts to face painting. A night camp, from 6 p.m. to midnight during school vacation weeks, shows ?dive-in? movies (best viewed from one of the hotel?s seven pools), and the colossal Coqui Water Park has speed slides and a tubing river that will entertain older kids (adults are also welcome). When hunger strikes, there?s the Oasis Bar & Grill with burgers for all as well as views of all the pool activity (787-863-1000; doubles from $279).

For adults only While the kids are busy at Camp Coqui, take an hour-long boat ride to the pristine beaches of Vieques. The nearby island is a nature lover?s wonderland, where you can snorkel or take a mountain bike tour. Book through Vieques Adventures (bike tours from $95).

$949 gets you five nights at the El Conquistador Resort, a Waldorf Astoria Resort Fajardo, Puerto Rico, in a partial Ocean View room with Balcony including breakfast for 4 each day, and more importantly, ALL Taxes and Fees! Taxes and resort fees add up to over 25% of the room rate at this resort. CondeNast listed the price as ?from $279!? Best of all, the package is good till Jan 2013!

This is a Luxury Hotel?the name ?Waldorf Astoria? says it all. You seriously have to see all of the amenities to understand why this a buy. Sometimes you see hotels at close to this rate in PR (although they rarely include Ocean Views, breakfast and NEVER taxes and fees), but they?re smack dab in the middle of when you don?t want to be there. The exact same package the first week of November was $1994 on their web site. I just got a ?Hot Deal? email from Cheap Carribean mentioning this same hotel, but only dates in May, and five nights was $1378 with no breakfast!

If you?re were thinking Caribbean next Winter or late fall this is a real deal. I?d avoid Late July-Sept due to Hurricane Season. If you?re wondering about air tickets, Expedia is quoting $306RT from Washington to San Juan on Delta right now.

To get it, here?s what you do: First, Accept my invitation to Family Getaway. Once you have your invite, you?ll see $100 in your account. To find the hotel, just search ?El Conquistador? and it will pop right up. They have both auctions and buy it now, I?d recommend the auction because in the months I?ve been browsing the site, I can tell you the first bid usualy wins.

So, you?ll see:
No. of Nights:
5
Regular Price:
$1,681 Taxes Included (Like I mentioned, I saw $1994 in Nov!)
Minimum Bid:
$1009
Taxes Included
