GOP presidential debate

Texas Governor Rick Perry struggled to answer his critics in the last debate between the Republican contenders, identify Achilles heel, which undermines its way to the presidential nomination of the party.

As in the previous two debates, as he entered the race, settled performance Perry saw how he walked on stage, his main rival, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who twice ignored Perry, distorted efforts to attack him, saying scornfully: “Nice try.”

Despite the nine candidates on stage in front of a noisy audience in Orlando, the interaction between the two men dominated the discussions, both accusing the other changes their position.

For Perry, a lackluster performance causes concern among Republicans that he can not dent Obama's high-profile presidential debates in 2012 general elections.

Romney, however, was polished and more freely, especially as the debate went on, although he avoided detailed answers.

Texas governor also saw his otherwise impeccable conservative credentials come under fire over its policy allows children of illegal immigrants take advantage of cheaper in state tuition to study at university.

Perry ardently defended the policy, accusing critics of trying to punish children for the sins of their parents.

"If you say that we should not educate children who come into our country for no other reason than that they were brought here by no fault of their own, I do not think you have a heart," said Perry - the ratio is unlikely will go down well with the Republican base he wants to win.

Perry said Romney had been guilty of supporting the flagship of the Obama administration's "Race to the Top" training program, saying: ". Being in favor of Obama Race Top - this is not a conservative"

The debate once again showed the ugly side of the Republican Party, at least one member of the audience loudly booing a member of the U.S. armed forces, which appeared on the video to ask a question.

The soldier, who showed that he was gay, asked candidates how they would react to the abolition of the "Do not Ask, Do not Tell" policy barring gays and lesbians to serve openly in the U.S. armed forces, which ended this week.

Booing followed by similar scenes in the previous debate, when the audience applauded Perry's penalty count as governor, and another shouted "Yes!" at the prospect of the uninsured are dying from lack of medical care.

Former Governor of Utah, John Huntsman joked that Romney and Perry were hitting each other, but other candidates failed to make the most of their opportunities in the third debate in three weeks.

The most memorable line of the night, however, came from the former governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson. Discussing the Obama administration's economic stimulus, Johnson said:

Cedric Benson

Cedric Benson: Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson faces three games suspension for conduct violations players during the lockout, sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

Benson will have an appeal Tuesday with the NFL to determine their own fate, a source told ESPN.com 'John Clayton. There is no timetable for when Benson will serve as could be suspended if he loses the appeal. He is expected to be available to play Sunday against the 49ers.

A source familiar with the situation, says Benson, "reasonable grounds" to address the suspension. He will play this weekend against the San Francisco 49ers as no suspension is official only after appeal.

Benson rushed for 180 yards in the first two weeks of the season, although the issue weighing on him.

Benson was released from prison Texas on September 3, after serving five days to settle in the two cases, the offense attack.

He pleaded no contest and received a 20-day jail sentence that was reduced, partly because he volunteered to mop the floors and paint crews to help. He also received credit for time served after his arrest.

28-year-old Benson was arrested in 2010 on charges of punching a bar worker in Austin, an incident that brought him to meet with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell but did not lead to punishment. He pleaded no contest to charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm in this case.

He also was arrested in July on charges of punching a former roommate in downtown Austin. He pleaded no contest to charges of assault with bodily injury family violence, and that will be fired if he performs 30 hours community service and pay an undisclosed amount of restitution to the victim.

‘Up All Night’ and ‘Free Agents’: TV Reviews

Comedy NBC Up All Night, which premieres at 10 pm on September 14, can break out this year. Starring Will Arnett and Christina Applegate, as a married couple who just had a baby, she deftly covers all the hardships of a new addition brings together happily - and can do so without being so juicy you want to hang myself.

Credit creator and author Emily Spivey (Parks and Recreation) to get the tone just right, from jokes about when the couple find out they are pregnant ("Stop saying," There's a child there, "as a child in a closet with a knife") to share their surprise and horror, that they now have to take care of it (Arnett and Applegate swearing about how cute baby works just fine, as well as their exasperated exhausted).

Series also stars Maya Rudolph, as Ava, a talk show who is needy and emotional and wants to be a producer, Reagan (Applegate), go back to work. Rudolph, along with newly hired Nick Cannon as her co-host, let Up All Night from 30 minutes to turn all parents and children's jokes.

But the truth is that the show is funny, when it is concentrated there. Arnett plays Chris, a stay at home dad trying to handle this situation - it lost in the supermarket and can not find the cheese is one of those random bits that really work - while retaining his masculinity. Arnett exceptional here, are able to deepen down absurdism manic he does it brilliantly and played comedy in a calm level. Applegate is also excellent, and perhaps finally found a sitcom that in written form to demonstrate her comic time.

Less successful for NBC, but the comedy, which still has some hope, if future episodes can improve the pilot is free agents (10:30 pm September 14) based on the British series. It focuses on Alex (Hank Azaria), who just got a divorce he would not, Helen (Kathryn Hahn), whose fiance has recently died. They share a hasty meeting together, and then try to survive loss while their colleagues to pursue them. This is a comedy and workplace romantic comedy, much less romance.

Part of the problem is that there is no chemistry between Khan and Azariah, Azariah, and making the dad who misses his juicy children and cries a lot about his life is not the best role for him. (He clearly stands out as an average for someone and sarcastic, but then find themselves in these emotional and romantic roles that do not seem all that believable.) But, despite that the pilot could not find a rhythm or sense of place, there is huge potential here, so you wonder if, for example, the known examples of 30 Rock and parks and recreation areas, it may take four or so episodes to really click.

That is why there should be a presumption of innocence: It was created by John Enbom (Party Down), was directed and executive producer Todd Holland (Malcolm in the middle) and has a cast of funny actors, including Al Madrigal (Daily Show with Jon Stewart) , Anthony Head (Little Britain, Manchild), Natasha Leggero plus and Joe Lo Truglio, whose work here can actually specify the concept.

Thus, it should work, and yet the pilot is not. If you think this may be generous, be aware that this fall is full of shows like this - the uncertainty of futures might good results (or hide).
