Las Vegas Sands Las Vegas Sands is facing increased pressure to finish their Singapore casino project, but that did not stop the company’s stock from rallying on Thursday. Sands stock was up 2.87%, closing at $16.82.

Cohen said a further statement would be released regarding the sale of the remaining shares, although he could not say when that would be.

Peter Murphy, a confidante of Michael Eisner while he ran Walt Disney Co. (DIS), has been hired as strategy and development chief for Harrah’s Entertainment Inc.

Gary Loveman, chairman and chief executive of the debt-laden casino operator, sees Murphy helping as the company continues "to identify areas for future growth and to explore opportunities created by current economic conditions."

The gambling industry has been suffering under falling traffic as consumers cut back on discretionary spending. Particularly weak has been the Las Vegas Strip, which has seen an end to the go-go days and where Harrah’s has a notable presence.

Murphy was Disney’s strategy chief for seven years until Robert Iger became Eisner’s successor.

We knew it wouldn’t be long until the Reverend Al Sharpton stepped in to express his disgust over the prospect of Right Wing Conservative, Rush Limbaugh, potentially buying the St. Louis Rams NFL franchise.  African American players have already gone on record as saying they would not play for a team owned by Limbaugh, who they claim is racist.

Sharpton has reportedly sent off a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, asking him to reject Limbaugh’s offer.

In the letter, Sharpton tells Goodell, "Rush Limbaugh has been divisive and anti-NFL on several occasions with comments about NFL Players including Michael Vick and Donovan McNabb."

In 2003, Limbaugh stated that McNabb was getting special treatment in the press because the media wanted to see a black quarterback succeed.
