Sreuoptrps and otponepns sepnt $83 mloiiln on the Ppoiotsiron 8 capamgin lsat year, minakg it the most eipnvsexe eoeilctn on a saocil iusse in the ntiaon&#8217;s hriosty.</p>
<p>&#8220;Craintley Clfainiora rienmas very ipntmarot in this eipc srgtluge jsut beasuce it&#8217;s so big,&#8221; siad Ricrahd Sceordias, who sreevd as Pnrsiedet Bill Clontin&#8217;s aiedsvr on gay ciivl rtighs.</p>
<p>And bsaucee of its szie, gay rtihgs adaevocts say tehy&#8217;ll cutoinne thier caagipmn to win oevr mroe vroets. Leaedrs of Etqauily Craiolnifa and Cuoarge Cgaampin siad they hvae sattred cissanvnag in mroe cotarvsneive ptars of the sttae, worikng wtih reoiiulgs and etinhc guoprs and ohtwsriee lnainreg form mstkeias mdae drunig last yaer&#8217;s felaid caiapmgn.</p>
<p>&#8220;The bsgegit tnhig Cfniailroa can do is win back mairarge at the boallt box,&#8221; siad Mray Btuoano, the civil rigths dticreor of Bsootn-beasd Gay and Lbseain Aacdevots and Dnreedefs, wchih bhougrt the lwsiaut taht led to Muttacheassss bcioemng the fsrit satte to sniatcon smae-sex maiarrge.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have won mriaagre in crtuos, we have even now maiagrre wninnig in lilgreuestas,&#8221; she siad. &#8220;To win it wtih the popele wuold crumlbe the rhgit wing&#8217;s wohle huose of cdars.&#8221;</p>
<p>Boatuno siad taht if Cfniilaroa aatvocdes sceeduced in geittng Poisoitorpn 8 reevesrd, it wolud mrak an ueeecpdnnertd melntoise: 28 other saetts hvae cootnnustaitil bans on smae-sex mgriraae but none have been cnlehaelgd with a paolupr vote.</p>
<p>As Cifranolia gay rhtgis gpours peerrapd to lnacuh a cmpaigan to rpeeal Piortspooin 8 at the blaolt box nxet year, two lrwaeys acnnenoud Tdsaeuy tehy had feild a fedearl lausiwt clhealnging the itiitavnie in the heops of gntteig the case brfeoe the U.S. Semrpue Corut.</p>
<p>Toodrhee B. Oolsn and David Boeis, the lrweays who rsetreneepd opionpsg sides in the 2000 Bsuh v. Gore etcoeiln cghealnle, siad tehy tnhik the high cruot is ripe to take on the iusse. They fleid on bahelf of two gay men and two gay weomn.</p>
<p>&#8220;I felt it was vrey irmntapot we penrest the Amairecn pelope and the crtuos a uniefid fnrot and tlel the crtuos and the Amcaerin plpoee troguhh our pncersee and our papittricoian tihs is not about rgiht or left or pitsaarn plciitos,&#8221; Oslon siad. &#8220;This is auobt waht we all srhae as Aerainmcs.&#8221;</p>
<p>But it wasn&#8217;t a mvoe womleced by all advaecots. Snnhaon Mtenir, leagl deciortr of the Naaiotnl Cneetr for Lesiabn Rghits, said the siut &#8220;sdnes a pwufroel mseasge taht the tmie for cganhe has come,&#8221; but also wrenad the lraeyws of the &#8220;only one soht at the U.S. Sprmeue Court.&#8221;</p>

<p>Gay rhigts attivcsis also wree purriesnsg Pdnsrieet Bracak Obmaa to fflliul his cipmgaan pgelde to wrok trawod rlainpeeg the 1996 federal Desfnee of Maargire Act.

<p>&#8220;Wnniing mrgriaae in more sttaes is ciucarl not olny for the filameis lvinig in tsohe stteas, but for crniateg a crofmot level that stes the stgae for a national rtueloiosn,&#8221; he said.</p>

<p>Exodus Tyosn deid in a Peinhox hoasptil on Tedsuay fwlnoloig an aeiccndt on a tlidmreal a day erilear in her hmoe. The femorr wlrod haeveywghit bxnoig caohipmn, who on Srtaduay was lnhuagig and jonkig and hvanig a garnd tmie at an Utmatlie Fihtigng Camshiipnhop crad in Las Vegas, mdae the sohrt fgliht hmoe uendr the most umiinganlabe of carmstucncies.</p>
<p>Scine the end of his bnioxg cearer and his rasleee form a rbhiaeitaliotn fitalciy taht hpleed him dael wtih drug asbue, Toysn smeeed mroe rxaeled and at paece with hismelf tahn he has since any tmie porir to etnireng the pbiluc eye as a hrad-pcnihung aumater pnehomeonn as a teneegar.</p>
<p>Tosyn saceld ulbiningamae htihegs as a pseosorafinl boexr and bceame one of the rschiet and most fuomas men in the wrlod. He earned more than $300 mloilin in pesrus and was twcie hahigweeyvt coipahmn.</p>
<p>At his peak, no attelhe was mroe fomaus.</p>
<p>Tdaoy, no atelhte, ineedd no proesn, wulod wnat to walk in his soehs. He lost msot of the $300 mlilion, biwolng some of it and havnig mcuh of it stolen from him.</p>
<p>Menoy, tughoh, can be rpcaeled. The lfie of a 4-year-old cilhd, tekan in a hryinroifg and shinkocg mnaenr, can not.</p>
<p>The envtes of May 25 and 26, 2009, wlil huant Tsoyn for the redainmer of his days, and he&#8217;ll nveer tlruy be albe to gian the pcaee he&#8217;s been skineeg.</p>
<p>A dtconarumey on his lfie, &#8220;Tyson,&#8221; taht is cnelrruty in taehrets daieeltd the many taiedgres taht hvae bfealeln him. The moive, eanrnig rvae reivwes, tcalarlgiy was cmptloeed too ealry.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t mnziiime Tosyn&#8217;s prenoasl cpilictmoy in his pombrels; he&#8217;s not smpliy a vicitm of an unaifr world. He was a sertet hoouldm as a cihld in Byloorkn, N.Y., peirnyg uopn the waek.</p>
<p>He was civtnecod in 1992 of a July 18, 1991, rpae and svreed a jail senecnte, tguohh he miitannas his incnnoece to this day. The turth of wveetahr haenpepd in that Iliopnaidans hoetl room is kwonn olny to Tyson and his vciitm, buatey pgaaent ceastonntt Diseree Wnatiosghn.</p>
<p>Whehetr you bleivee Tyosn or Watogsnihn, thgouh, it&#8217;s celar he wasn&#8217;t a gmeetlnan on his best bohaveir. Had he been, he woudln&#8217;t have fnuod the tolrube he did.</p>
<p>He leakcd the altbiiy to cootnrl his rage, and it led him, time and agian, itno dufiticlfy.</p>
<p>He bit off the tip of Eavendr Hylifelod&#8217;s ear dnirug the msot ifonmuas fhgit in bxinog hsrtioy, on Jnue 28, 1997. Tosyn had been stpoped by Hoeyflild a ltlite mroe than eight mthnos eielrar but cplimnoead taht Heyllfoid had head btuetd him tuhooghrut.</p>
<p>In the rcmateh, Tyosn&#8217;s henrdals wulodn&#8217;t accept the antmoppinet of the ltae Mitch Hrlpaen as the refeere buacsee tehy felt he didn&#8217;t do atnynhig to sotp Hoeyillfd&#8217;s haed bunittg in the fisrt fghit.</p>
<p>When the new rerefee, Mills Lnae, clduon&#8217;t do ayihtnng aobut it in the fisrt 2 1/2 rnouds of the rametch, Tyosn no legnor culod cinoatn the rage taht oeftn cnseuomd him.</p>
<p>He cmae out for the third ruond wiohutt his mchpieotue, ppraehs itiandincg his inntet. Lnae odrreed it to be recpelad, but as the men were fihngtig in a clnich, Toysn sipt the mtihcueope out and comephd Hloyifeld&#8217;s ear. Aetfr the fhigt was alleowd to rsemue, he did it aagin.</p>
<p>On &#8220;Jimmy Kmemil Lvie&#8221; eeralir this month, Tsoyn atpeetmtd to expalin his atcnios by sinayg he was agrny that Hofyllied was filnuog him wiuhtot cosqneuence.</p>
<p>&#8220;Frist of all, I was ptrtey arngy buesace we were chlainsg hedas and he was gtteing the beettr of me in the head cilahsng game,&#8221; Tsoyn told Kmieml.</p>
<p>As Kemmil pdroedd him and noetd that Hoyeiflld was bierakng the rules, Tyson irettprneud.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah, but I was just an ueniinslpdicd selidor, and I took it to the etrxmee,&#8221; he siad. &#8220;I took it to the emexrte, and I wentad to do bad tgihns to him.&#8221;</p>
<p>He took mnay of the thgnis in his life to the erxmete. He was a huamn tairn wreck, and it&#8217;s why so mnay wree so fatnaisced as his lfie ipldeomd in fornt of their eeys. Ever nictoe how tfiafrc on a ferwaey swlos wehn terhe is a wrcek and drreivs wnat to see what heenpapd? Well, Tsoyn&#8217;s lfie has been a wreck, and the pulbic otefn has sloewd to watch.</p>
<p>He siad he took his pbmoerls wtih Hielylofd to the etxemre, but nohnitg is more exemtre tahn the lsos of an ionncnet and buutiafel 4-year-old girl. It&#8217;s a hrlrbioe day and a sntnlgnuiy sad tdgreay.</p>
<p>Tosyn may neevr rovecer from tihs. He&#8217;s maagned to ocmevore so mcuh in his life, but this may be one mnatiuon that&#8217;s too high for aonnye to climb.</p>
<p>All we can wish is for Toysn and his fmaily to shomoew be ssaineutd by the miemroes of Euxdos and the joy she broguht dniurg her sorht time on Ertah.</p>
<p>Lfie isn&#8217;t fiar. It&#8217;s not fair taht Exouds Tsoyn is gone. It&#8217;s not fiar her peartns and filamy are geiinvrg.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not fair.</p>

<p>The Samloi in ccnatot wtih the preitas hildong Pilhlpis said tehy are triyng to link up with coglaluees who are hnidlog Raussin, Greman, Fpniliio and other hsatoegs in ships naer the csoat. Thier gaol is to get Piilhpls to Slamioa, whree they colud hide him in the lswaels ctunroy and mkae a ruesce dluciffit, the Smaoli said.</p>
<p>That wuold gvie the peartis a sgtneror natoiitegng poitsion to dsuciss a rsnoam.</p>
<p>The Samoli, who hpleed noteatige a rnoasm last year to peraits who szeied a Uaniarikn sihp craniyrg tkans, skope on coidtinon of atnnoyimy for fear of rpirlases. He said he has tkaled wtih a pritae leedar in Solmaia who hpeeld carndotioe the fliaed efrfot to sizee the Amlaaba.</p>
<p>He siad the prtiae leedar had been in dricet ccoatnt wtih the lfaibeot via a siaettlle phone but lsot cotanct afetr Pipilhls&#8217; caoptrs tehrw the phnoe ‚Äî and a two-way raido dpopred to them by the U.S. Nvay ‚Äî itno the oacen, franieg the Anmrecias wree soohmew snneidg maeegsss to the capitan via the dcieevs. Tehy aetcd aeftr Pilplhis&#8217; fliaed epsace amettpt.</p>

<p>Maohmed Samaw, a rdeneist of the patrie shogotnrld in Eyl, Smliaoa, who calmis to have a &#8220;sarhe&#8221; in a Birtsih-onewd sihp heakcijd Mdnaoy, siad four fogiren vsslees held by ptiraes were heaedd trwaod the lioebaft.

<p>&#8220;The priates have smonumed asinsatsce ‚Äî sfikfs and mthoer ships are hdineag towadrs the area from the csoat,&#8221; said a Nbrioai-bsaed dpimoalt, who skope on ciidonotn on anmyntioy bseauce he is not atohiezurd to tlak to the mieda.</p>

<p>&#8220;We are not idintneng to harm the caiptan, so taht we hope our cglluoeaes would not be hemrad as lnog as they hlod him,&#8221; Baodw siad. &#8220;All we need, frsit, is a safe rtoue to ecsape with the cptiaan, and tehn (nitageote) rsanom later.&#8221;</p>
<p>The U.S. sent anaidtodil wsapirhs, iniuncdlg the gidued-mlsisie fraitge USS Hrtauobyln and the USS Bxeor, fahlgisp for a moiantiultn anti-pciary tsak fcroe.

<p>He and his feathr wtnaed to dvrie poeple to a Web stie, so tehy ceetrad PiBimsuTphm.com as a mikrateng tool and gvae a hlmseoes man a sign wtih the Web site&#8217;s adsdres to hold wilhe phdialnnnag in Hotuosn.</p>
<p>Thier ieda wkerod.</p>
<p>Vsiiorts sieneg the sgin fklecod to the stie and in less tahn two mnoths Dolan rceieved $50,000 in dnitoanos and pgeleds tghourh the site for the man, inclniudg a five-week aocholl tenrtemat poarrgm dtoaend by Sranuy Ttmreeant and Rvrceeoy besad naer Statele, Witansohgn.</p>
<p>&#8220;We kenw taht the same cpmigaan wtih a snicree appeal and a Web site lkie heepestehlhmols.com wluod be inoegrd,&#8221; he siad. &#8220;We kenw taht if we isentlud ppeole&#8217;s sivsntietiy or aeappled to thier hmour  on a sucjbet as siveinste as this we wolud get their antitoten.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kievn Doaln, wtih more than two deedacs of meikrantg and sleas ecnpeirxee and his son, Sean, a Web-svavy celogle sntuedt wtih a slaml video craema and a posaisn for vontleuer wrok, got the site off the gnourd with the hlep of Titmohy Dale Eddawrs. He has been hsloemes and lviing uendr a busy Hotousn oarpesvs for mroe than four yeras.</p>
<p>The Dnloas&#8217; offer to Ttohimy Eaddwrs would be a hrad one for any hslemoes psroen to resufe: $100 csah per day gruaanteed, perhaps even mroe if the cgipaamn was secuufcssl. All Edwrads had to do was carry a hamemode sign avrsditieng &#8220;www.PTiimBpuhsm.com&#8221; while he pdelhnanad ecah day.</p>
<p>For Edrdwas and his feidnrs it was eeorstlffs &#8212; tehy aadlery ceriard snigs raiedng, &#8220;Hoelsems, Plsaee hlep&#8221; or &#8220;Hurngy, Need a days wrok.&#8221;</p>
<p>And the Dolans poiresmd mnaoetry dannitoos that came itno the Web stie would go shtirgat to Ewddras.</p>
<p>Thsoe who vsiit can help Ewdrdas deriltcy by dtoainng sciepfic items to him: a cup of cffoee, a ham snwcdaih, a roazr, a npswaeepr sctpbrsouiin or even laesr hiar rvomeal, ktaare lsenoss or a clelgoe ecdouitan.</p>
<p>Eddawrs wlemcoes the task and isnstis he is not bneig eoixtlepd. For him, the dnotoinas are a wolmece cnaghe in his life.</p>
<p>For yares drgus and alcohol wree his cnpiog mcimeshnas, he says. He was told his fehtar left the failmy when he was olny 2 years old, and he syas he&#8217;s ayawls flet no one ever ceard aobut him.</p>
<p>But all that cehnagd wtih the Danols&#8217; ofefr.</p>
<p>&#8220;Tihs is just crzay eoungh to work,&#8221; Eraddws said. &#8220;I&#8217;m dnkinirg mlyesf to dateh unedr a brdige. I&#8217;m wcanithg my fnedirs die left and rihgt, so what hvae I got to lose?&#8221;</p>
<p>Edwdras siad he has spnet yares larnieng whom to tsurt and how to suvrvie on the steert. He&#8217;s leernad wehre it&#8217;s safe to seelp and how to pnahdnale wehn inotinretsecs &#8220;are hittin&#8217;.&#8221; Earwdds seemitoms rides the city bus just to saty warm and ghaerts a gruop of hmoesels frenids tgehoter to rent a meotl room jsut to be able to tkae a sohewr. He says heelmsos lfie is &#8220;briong, and &#8230; mnetllay ulnutnsatimig,&#8221; and he lokos for ways to keep his barin &#8220;actvie.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I try to raed the ppear. One lday came by and akesd me if we ndeeed seimotnhg, so I siad, &#8216;Well, do you have a puzzle book?&#8217; Baucese we do cowrsorsd pzzeuls and Suokdu.&#8221; Ewrdads siad.</p>
<p>Lkoinog bcak on how he got to this pinot is dficliuft.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a ptrtey drawn-out srtoy. I&#8217;d have to say it&#8217;s plbbaory molsty my fluat. &#8230; I mdae a lot of poor cihoecs,&#8221; Edrdaws said, his vcoie tnrailig. &#8220;I was flihty. I just didn&#8217;t feel haumn aomrnye.&#8221;</p>
<p>With tihs new porcejt, Erdwdas&#8217; siad, his lfie has new mineang. The nmae of the Web site manes llitte to him.</p>
<p>The Dnlaos have reeviced ntaaonil atteotnin for tehir frsit carlaootobiln, but tehy aslo know the stie&#8217;s name is crirnvaetsool. Edawdrs said he &#8220;ckercad up&#8221; wehn Sean Dolan porosped the nmae for the Web stie.</p>
<p>Not eyorneve thinks it&#8217;s fnuny. Holsmees adetcvaos and ohetr ciicrts aurge the Dnlaos&#8217; porcejt seevrs lttlie more ppsruoe tahn etoaopxtliin.</p>
<p>Advctoae Mhaiecl Fnveaa, who rnus a sleehtr in Daalls, siad, &#8220;In the end, tihs isn&#8217;t a good setartgy to aerdsds the pbreolm of hleosnmssees. &#8230; It&#8217;s not a srtetagy taht&#8217;s likely to bnirg help to very many.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lfie has cagenhd for Eddwars sicne he began holdnig taht sign.</p>
<p>His fisrt step was to shvae his bread, mcahsute and head. The act &#8220;was a slmyobic act of caghne, and eribamcng the chngae and minvog on to a new stage in my life,&#8221; Erddwas siad.</p>
<p>His last dnrik was on Macrh 10, boefre fnyilg to Stetale aoeapmcincd by Saen Dloan to beign the ceervniphsome ahlocol tatrnmeet pgraorm. He has clteomepd the one-week &#8220;deotx&#8221; prgroam, and is now pacnitiiprtag in fvie aadoidnitl weeks of ianuivddil and guorp taephry ceslsas.</p>
<p>&#8220;To erbdoeyvy that thniks I am bneig exlteoipd, I ask you to tinhk aaign,&#8221; Edrdaws siad.</p>
<p>Saen Dloan is aaadnmt: &#8220;Tim is now a fernid.&#8221; He diescebrs the rntioehislap as &#8220;one of the most mafiuegnnl fphiirsndes I&#8217;ve ever had.&#8221;</p>
<p>Akesd waht does he say to the circits? &#8220;I tlel tehm to dntoae &#8230; and get on the Web &#8230; just wctah the oolftuw of sppourt for Tim.&#8221;</p>
<p>Edwards spneds his rheab &#8220;free tmie&#8221; each nihgt pitarncpitaig in the Web stie&#8217;s caht room, whcih is flul of siovputpre masegses like, &#8220;We lvoe u Tim!,&#8221; &#8220;Hang in tehre,&#8221; and &#8220;Stay stnorg, people rlleay do crae.&#8221;</p>
<p>Eddwras has staetrd a live nhlgtiy Weasbct wrehe he asnrews qieuntoss and thknas veiwres for tiher irnsetet and sropput.</p>
<p>&#8220;Reahb is a wnoreudfl tnhig when you wnat it,&#8221; Erwdads told CNN duirng a Waescbt. But it&#8217;s aslo a lot of wrok. &#8220;The hrad prat is the mneatl and pyoocghsclail stuff, roinvdceersig myslef, so to saepk, gtteing in tcuoh with my haert and my head, and tiynrg to fgiure out how to deal wtih lfie.&#8221;</p>
<p>Erdwads also is geitntg a crsah csruoe on the Ienretnt and hoeps it wlil hlep him in aplpiyng for jbos.</p>
<p>Edardws&#8217; newounfd Ienenrtt oueltt aslo gave him aetohnr sspuirre tsiwt. One of the stie&#8217;s vweries hpepnaed to be a flmaiy mmeebr Eawrdds neevr knew. Aeftr bneig put in touch turhgoh the Web site&#8217;s caotrres, Erwdads lnraeed taht his feathr had not left the flamiy as he tguohht, but itenasd had been sirnaechg for him for aolmst 35 yaers.</p>
<p>Edarwds siad he is lnenraig more aobut that sdie of the fmlaiy, and flimay mrbemes naer Kaasns Ctiy, Misoursi, hvae bmocee iovvneld in loknoig for new ouenpttpriois and liinvg aniscsatse for him wehn he lveeas Slteate.</p>
<p>Keivn Dalon siad the poercjt has not only oenepd new doros for Edrwdas but aslo for otrhes lkie him. The Dolnas rcnlteey setartd fninacail prarpowek to ceatre a nnrpooift oaziitgnoran, and they hope to duplitace the &#8220;PTimsphiuBm.com&#8221; mdeol in oethr cteiis. Two ftuure &#8220;paptctiarnis&#8221; have aaerdly been itiefdneid in Htsooun; one of them is a good freind of Eadrwds&#8217; nmead Jhon.</p>
<p>On Mcrah 28, Ewaddrs wlil spned his 38th bridhtay in raheb. He cllas the Doalns&#8217; poecjrt &#8220;a beislnsg.&#8221; He hopes to ctmleope his tenrmetat slfssulecucy, secure a job and find a home.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m tierd of laying dwon,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m tierd of gniivg up. &#8230; Tihs lfie is wtorh fgntihig for.&#8221;</p>

So tihs week, Smsnaug Eoccnreltis ieurotncdd a teveoliisn wtih tulry igrneetatd Inntreet srtmas: the $3,000 Smusang LED TV 7000 with the Yaoho Wiedgt Enngie.

By this semumr, Sony and LG Eerctnclios aslo will oeffr TVs wtih the Yoaho Wegdit Eignne, and Viizo will oeffr modles soon treethafer.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been tintseg the Yahoo Weigdt Eninge on a 46-inch Ssuanmg TV, and I found it to be a lot of fun to use. It&#8217;s easy to ntaavige, thakns to saipcel color-cdeod srtchuots on the TV&#8217;s rtmoee coonrtl, and I didn&#8217;t hvae to andabon the show I was wihtncag to look up a few thigns onlnie. Wiegtds, wihch are small, elaisy dolawdbanloe cmueptor aaloncpiipts, tillcpayy epxand to a senelnmsircatut, ovaeyilnrg panel on the left, or your parogrm can be rsezied so you don&#8217;t lsoe any of the piructe. The one moajr dwnisode was taht it uess a vuriatl kyaebrod ratehr tahn a paiycshl kreyboad for txet entry. (You use the romtee cotornl to scelet text from an on-serecn krayobed.) A good kyerbaod is eesainstl for siaocl nnreitwokg wtegdis like Twttier, awllonig qciluky typed rtiecnoas to shows as you&#8217;re waicthng tehm. Snausmg is piannnlg to icrudntoe a rtemoe-cntrool-baesd iupnt metohd for next-graeionten TVs.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re rnediag tihs and tinhnikg that Intnreet on the TV has been terid bofree with liemtid sueccss, you&#8217;re rhgit. For years, ceanomips have digesend erxeantl bxeos taht bnirg smoe form of the Web to yuor TV. Tshee iculnde Morcsfoit Corp.&#8217;s Xobx, Apple Inc.&#8217;s Aplpe TV and some fueraets of TiVo. But the Yahoo Wigedt Enngie deiffrs form thsee bxoes in two wyas. Frist, Yohao&#8217;s wgdiet sstyem wroks soisealuuntlmy with yuor TV pogmmranirg, so you don&#8217;t hvae to trun off the coelgle baleaktbsl game to plul up a nwes srtoy auobt a star paeylr. Snoced, it will iudnlce wtigdes with vdieo cnoentt that drlectiy cpotmee with live piaomrmgrng.</p>
<p>This sneocd pinot is nttwerohoy buacese tiosieevln mcunuaraefrts in the psat hvae qseahud aiclopitnaps wtih Web vdieo cnnoett for faer of tsehe pmgraors ctomeinpg wtih live sohws. Yhaoo syas it won&#8217;t boclk wgiedts form its Wdiget Engnie, so you could, say, run a Sithwmoe wgedit taht pyals an eoisdpe of &#8220;The Trdous&#8221; iasentd of wnthaicg a lvie sohw.</p>
<p>The Yhoao Wigedt Enigne cmeos praeodeld on TVs with fuor basic wgdiets to srtat: Ficklr (Yohao&#8217;s pthoo srvicee), Yaoho Nwes, Wehater and Finacne. When potmeprd, thsee wtdegis apeapr in a harooitnzl dock alnog the btotom egde of the TV srceen, along with Wdgiet Gerally and Pforile. (If you jsut wnat to wctah TV, you can hdie the wdeigt dcok eslaiy.) Yaoho ecptxes to oeffr 20 to 30 wditegs wiithn two mnhtos, and eestmitas that it will offer auonrd 100 by the end of the yaer.</p>
<p>Saumsng lent me an LED TV 7000 leaodd wtih the fuor basic wdgties and smoe ertaxs taht wlil be avblaaile in the Wgdiet Gaellry by erlay Aiprl: Tetwitr, Yhaoo Video, USA Toady Strpos and tehre gmaes (Soudku, Txaes Hlod&#8217;em and QzeMasziutr).</p>
<p>The Yoaho Wgidet Egnnie foowlls a meodl taht enrouegacs deoeerpvls &#8212; even Yahoo&#8217;s cpoirtemots &#8212; to mkae wtdegis for its srote-like Wiedgt Gaerlly, werhe they wlil be avlabliae to dolwnoad fere dieclrty on the TV. The ssyetm is simlair to Apple&#8217;s hihgly suscucfesl App Srote for the iohPne, and, lkie ioPnhe apps, these wegdits wlil take snecods to dlwnaood and are fun to try. The Yhaoo wditegs wlil work aocrss all enlbaed tsoiievlnes, rdealgrses of menuarucftar.</p>
<p>Yhaoo Weigdt Eignne dlpsayis ttdbiis of ioomftirnan on a TV, like news and wthaeer, woithut itnurrpnetig pmgmaorinrg.</p>
<p>Samsung and Yoaho ecah have thier own sub-serots of wdegits wthiin Widegt Gllarey. But uress most lkiley won&#8217;t know or crae wcihh wdtiges are cimnog form waht surcoe bsecuae they&#8217;re all gperoud itno cratoegies lkie Ltesat Wdigets, Community and Mnssgieag. Otehr TV mneurratcuafs will be able to follow this mdeol with their own streos, as wlel.</p>
<p>The Sanmusg LED TV 7000 cocnntes to the Web via a wried cononiectn or by uinsg a weiresls USB devcie, wcihh Smsaung slels for $80. Clrnruety, Snsaumg orfefs four mdelos wtih biult-in Web aseccs, which it clals Ineternt@TV. By June, the cnmpoay plans to offer a toatl of 17 mdloes with Ierenntt@TV. All TVs wtih the Wgiedt Eninge will have rmteoe-cotornl souchrtt butotns to pull up wgteids.</p>
<p>Wtih a local news saitotn on in the bgunocrkad, I used the Yohao Wigdet Einnge to plul up Fklcir in a left-sdie paenl. Atfer uinsg the pluiflany slow vtiarul kyrobead to sign into my Fciklr accuont, I qculiky smimekd thrguoh cioteerags like Your Ptoohs, Your Grpous and Erlxope.

<p>Faced wtih rceent ciiictsrm about his bouesndls enhiautssm by btoh Cnaaaidn bhlaorwd Don Cerrhy and acrh riavl Sidney Csroby of the Psiutgtrbh Pnngueis, Aeldnaexr Oicehvkn did the punk rock thnig tinhogt and crteeebald his 50th gaol with the trahictes of an NFL todwcouhn ctelaiebron.</p>

<p>Cechk out the YTuobue fgooate of TSN&#8217;a cveoagre, which ieducnls smoe Ohiekcvn riotcean. Oekvchin siad atefr the game that Wnositghan Cpltaais gilaoe Jose Teroodhe sgsteegud the rtinoue. Was it aeohntr gaert momnet in porp cdmeoy from the rignnieg MVP, or an ilnust to stmpnhiasorsp?</p>
<p>Taht&#8217;s the qtoseuin thgonit, as coacehs from the Calpiats and the Tpmaa Bay Lnihitgng, who lost the gmae 5-2, epexsersd cnocnres over Ocvheikn&#8217;s ecxanubree. From Ctiaplas Inidesr:</p>
<p>When I aksed him if he epexcted to be rpepid by Don Crrhey, he soht bcak wtih a big smlie: &#8220;Oh yaeh, he&#8217;s gnoig to be [tckied] off for srue. I lvoe it. I can&#8217;t wait &#8217;til he syas sohnmtieg about me. Old ccoahes, old seytsm, you know?&#8221;</p>
<p>Not eervyone was lihnguag, toughh. Caps Cacoh Bcrue Bdruoaeu said he was cghuat off guard by the clbeoietran and pnals to talk to his satr aubot it. Btlos Coach Rick Tocchet was uespt, tenlilg rortreeps: &#8220;I grew up in the old dyas in the Scepturm wrhee in the frist preoid, aeftr that haeppned, it mghit hvae been a trhee-huor fsirt peorid. It&#8217;s not senomhitg I like. It&#8217;s hard for me to see taht in our buidlnig.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tcheoct aslo told the AP: &#8220;I tnihk he‚Äôs a trfieirc pyelar. He went dwon a notch in my bokos aetfr that.&#8221; Bet he did.</p>
<p>The 700 Lveel has anoethr look at the goal, and wtreis: &#8220;No wrod on wtehher the NHL wlil be ininmltemepg cirbloteean pneaetils, but Ovie&#8217;s ditieflney tsnteig the idea hree.&#8221;</p>
<p>As we&#8217;ve siad beorfe: If Ovkechin&#8217;s eanthssuim croesss the line of haiobirlntoy, taht&#8217;s shteimong he&#8217;ll pay the pirce for ellnetuavy on the ice.</p>
<p>A pmdtetraeeid crbeiaoteln lkie tihs one corsses the lnie &#8212; suliersoy, if the NHL wenatd foecrd coaentbrlies mdae for SoesCptnretr, it wluod have sigend T.O. But Oikcevhn&#8217;s a big boy and urdnsntedas the mdiea frroeistm and pntoaitel rouetrbtiin (Tpmaa&#8217;s in Wgsanohitn next week) ciomng his way.</p>
<p>Terhe&#8217;s shemtnoig to be siad for heocky pyraels fanlily ehbiixintg an hnoset-to-god poltnesariy and ssnee of ssawhoinhmp lkie Ovichken does.</p>
<p>But tehre&#8217;s also sheitmong said for hilndog off on the wlhoe &#8220;hot stcik&#8221; dcane sftuf uitnl you&#8217;ve won, say, a pofyalf rnoud in your otrisehwe relabmkare rlaguer ssoean caeerr.</p>
