Vlad-y Dad-y we like to party! ‘The Professional’ finally calls it quits.
Comments(0) Buster the German Shepherd could have had a great career as a British police dog had it not been for one flaw: his complete lack of interest in fighting crime.
The canine cop took early retirement after bosses at South Yorkshire Police noted his poor motivation — and a fondness for making friends with rowdy drunkards, his former handler said Monday.
On one occasion, Buster walked straight past a suspected criminal hiding in the garden of a house late at night and went off to cock his leg
During a separate tracking operation, also in the early hours of the morning, Buster gave up while in mid-chase across a golf course . “He just downed tools,” Stephenson said. “He just lay down and there was nothing we could do. He has got a very low drive for finding people.”
When patroling Rotherham at pub closing times — when the streets are often crowded with drunken revelers — Buster wagged his tail when people came up to him and ate their fries, instead of deterring potential trouble makers, his former handler said. - Yahoo News

Steve Jobs faces a far tougher task wooing film and television producers to create shows for the new video iPod than he did in the music industry because many questions remain over content and pricing, industry executives say.
In the week since Jobs unveiled the handheld device, which plays video clips on a 2.5-inch diagonal screen, media and technology executives have been trying to figure out whether people will watch shows on a small screen, what types of programs will work and whether money can be made at the $1.99-per-episode price Apple set. - Reuters

Two-time All-Star Allan Houston is to announce his retirement from the Knicks at an afternoon news conference Monday.
Houston, who appeared in just 70 games over the past two seasons due to chronic knee pain, wanted to test his knee in training camp this year before deciding whether to retire. The shooting guard wasn’t participating in the full workload of two-a-days his teammates were running, but had been encouraged by early results.
He was to earn $40 million over the final two years of his contract. Houston was the last player remaining from the Knicks’ team that reached the NBA Finals in 1999. - ESPN
