Don Cherry takes his plaid and plain-talking to U.S.

Coach's Corner fixture will make his American television debut Monday night on NBC

Don Cherry says he's ready for America. But is America ready for him?

That question will be answered Monday night when the star of Coach's Corner makes his U.S. network television debut on NBC.

The network announced yesterday that Cherry will appear during the second intermission of Monday's Stanley Cup final. A commentator exchange between CBC and NBC, involving Cherry and Brett Hull, was announced earlier this spring.

Hull will appear on the CBC broadcast during Saturday night's first intermission.

During an earlier conference call, Cherry indicated it will be business as usual when he thrusts himself on the American public.

"A lot of people have written that what I say up here I would never get away with it down in the States," he said.

"I'll just go on and do what I have to do."

Cherry recalled making an appearance on a Pittsburgh broadcast a few years ago and referring to Mario Lemieux and a mullet-sporting Jaromir Jagr as "Mario and his daughter."

"That was my last time in the States," he said.

The big question is what will Cherry wear and will it pass FCC standards?

Though Cherry has yet to announce his wardrobe for Monday, he did give some advice to Hull for his appearance: "Get some plaids."

    • Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released new Defender update for Windows 11, 10, Server ISO installations by Sayan Sen Microsoft releases new Windows Defender update packages very frequently to protect against various newly discovered malware. Once a while every three months or so, the company also pushes out these updates to Windows images (WIM and VHD) and ISOs, that are used to install Windows. Hence with the newest Windows 11 update available via the official MCT tool, you should get these definitions. This update package is necessary as a Windows installation image may contain old, outdated anti-malware definitions and software binaries. Aside from better security, these updates can also provide improved performance benefits in some cases. When a new Windows installation is set up, there may be a temporary security risk due to outdated Microsoft Defender protection in the OS installation images. This happens because the antimalware software included in these images might not be up to date. Thus Microsoft says that these updated definitions essentially help close this protection gap. Microsoft delivered the latest security definitions for Windows images via security intelligence update version 1.445.323.0. The Defender package version is also the same. It applies to Windows 11, Windows 10 ESU, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019, Win 10 Ent LTSB 2016, Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, and Windows Server 2016. Microsoft writes: "This package updates the anti-malware client, anti-malware engine, and signature versions in the OS installation images to following versions: Platform version: 4.18.26040.7 Engine version: 1.1.26040.8 Security intelligence version: 1.447.236.0" From Microsoft's security bulletin, we learn that the security intelligence update version 1.447.236.0 was released early last month and adds threat detections for various malware like trojan, backdoor exploits, ransomware, stealers, AutoKMS, and more. For those wondering, the latest intelligence update is version 1.451.297.0 at the time of writing.
