At this point the only way the Islanders' Lighthouse Project is going to happen in the next few years, in my opinion, is if Charles Wang tells us exactly how grave this situation is. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman twice went...

Earlier today I posted about how even though Bruce Ratner reportedly is dancing with potential Nets buyers, I think there's no shot the end result is Charles Wang buying them and bringing them back to Long Island. Wang had his...

... makes a point of mentioning several times that she has a standing offer with Islanders owner Charles Wang and project partner Scott Rechler to redevelop Nassau Coliseum separate from the bells-and-whistles Lighthouse Project. That, in my estimation, represents her bottom offer. Not surprisingly, Wang and co. have consistently and emphatically declined that offer. Meanwhile,...

... Suozzi. As you may have noticed, I weighed in on the issue last weekend by imploring Isles owner Charles Wang to start throwing around his weight in words to get this going again. I've been on vacation since then, but I'm real interested in this topic and plan to pursue it further when I return to work.

... of hands as badly as management software company CA (formerly Computer Associates).Co-founded by Charles Wang, CA went on an acquisition spree for many years that resulted in a classic case of acquisition indigestion - lots of companies across diverse sectors that were poorly integrated into an increasingly personality-less CA.Then, under Sanjay Kumar, there were rumours of financial...

... The VAR Guy thinks CA is in its third generation as a company. During CA 1.0, company co-founder Charles Wang built Computer Associates into a leading mainframe software provider through home-grown applications as well as mergers and acquisitions.

There was a time when Islanders owner Charles Wang told people that Nassau County and the Town of Hempstead couldn't afford to pass up the Lighthouse Project. But with the recent collapse of the economy and increased pressure on lenders, the better question now might be whether Wang and his developer partner Scott Rechler can afford the financing for the project.

Here are some of the get-ups I saw runners in: * a shirtless man with a dark hair wig and red boxing gloves, punching the air as he ran by, impersonating Rocky Balboa. * a man with a cardboard lighthouse covering his head - and going about 3 feet above his head, too. I took a long look to see if he was plugging Charles Wang's Lighthouse Project, but alas he was not. That said, I have...

Maybe these Russia and from the Middle Easterns haven't been to America enough to realize the Nets are not a good investment. (Read this Yahoo! report to see what I'm talking about.) And if you're thinking this is a great opportunity for Charles Wang step in, buy the Nets, move them to Long Island and team them with the Islanders, stop. Not happening. That boat sailed away the last time...
