Union City set to wear pink uniforms on Friday nightUNION CITY, TN -- Instead of wearing pink wristbands or pink socks, Union City is taking their support for breast cancer awareness a bit further. "We're going all out with pink jersey's and socks," said Union City head coach Darren Bowling. "We are also going to have a pink UC on our helmets." The idea to wear the uniforms came from the Obion County Farmers Bureau, who wanted to help the administration at Union City. "We had an idea, but we were sitting around and didn't really know where to start," said Union City Principal Wes Kennedy. "Their plan was a ribbon on the jersey and some pink socks," Hadley Malone said, an agent with Obion County Farmers Bureau. "It's all going to pop on Friday night and hopefully bring a lot of good attention." Pink may not be the most ideal color to wear on the football field, but it means a lot to two Union City players who have had family members with breast cancer. "It's a great thing to do," said Union City runningback Ricky Henry. "My grandmother has breast cancer and I can support her, and go support something." "I have always worn pink in October," said Jamie Pirtle, a Union City lineman. "It's not any different this year, just us wearing pink uniforms." During the game the jersey's will be auctioned off. "We have exceeded our goal before the game even starts," Malone said. "It's going to be a great night and a great event." "Friday nights are special here in Union City," Kennedy said. "This is another way to make it just a little more special." Special enough that once each October from now on, the Golden Tornadoes will turn to pink.

Nevers, capital of the Nivernais, is famous for its earthenware, which was introduced from Italy by Duke Louis de Gonzague in the 16th C. This renowned industry used to employ up to 1,800 people at its height. Today, four craftwork companies continue this traditional savoir-faire.
From the red sandstone bridget that crosses the Loire, you can get a view of the old town, stepped up a hill and dominated by the cathedral and the elegant shape of the ducal palace.

The process for approving a second Philadelphia casino is moving forward.
State gaming officials held a hearing to gather evidence from the city on the six applicants for the remaining casino license to be awarded. The city did not endorse any of the applicants, but listed pros and cons for each proposal.
Protesters came out in force to oppose any planned casino in Philadelphia.
"Our view is that city leadership has a responsibility to look after the people of Philadelphia, so when asked what site do you favor, answer should be we don't favor a casino in Philadelphia," one protestor said.
The protesters argue that casinos promote gambling and hurt the quality of life.

How sad do you have to be to lie to people on the internet. How weak or broken do you have to be to lie about how tough you are, how much you lift or how big or lean you are? You are lying to people you will never meet. The worst part is your the only one that does not see the lies show through so clearly. Just be happy with what you have, it may not be what you once had, but it is still better than many will ever have
Great lift, and nice job thanking our Saviour. Keep it up.

Michigan State QB has sprained knee
Published: | Apr 18, 2012 2:41 AM EDT |
Updated: | Apr 18, 2012 6:32 AM EDT |
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan State quarterback Andrew Maxwell has a sprained right knee and is questionable for the team's April 28 spring game.
An athletic department spokesman says Maxwell will be sidelined at least one week after injuring himself in a scrimmage Saturday.
Maxwell is expected to take over at quarterback next season following the departure of senior Kirk Cousins. Maxwell attempted 26 passes last season.
Connor Cook was next on the spring depth chart as of late last month.

A UK council worker was erecting safety notices in January 2010 when he had an accident. The signs were a warning about taking care on ice and snow. Perhaps he should have heeded the warning. The unnamed man injured his back, neck, wrist and arms. His accident is set to cost Leicester Council dearly.
The Telegraph has reported that the council has ordered , "150 pairs of special slip-on shoe soles with studs for winter weather, costing £13 each, to avoid similar injuries to outdoor workers in future". It has also set aside £70,000 for legal costs and the man's compensation.
Of course we do not know the extent of the man's injuries. However look at an article earlier this week about Canadian military veterans. It highlighted, "One of the examples quoted is that of a young soldier who had both legs shattered and was awarded a lump sum payment of $13,500". What price a hero, I wonder? Not as much as a UK council worker it seems.
The Mayor of Leicester commented, "It's important the council takes its responsibilities to staff and members of the public seriously, while not going health and safety mad. However, councils and other large organisations have increasingly found themselves targeted by lawyers who encourage people to make claims. The Government needs to look at the best way to give those with genuine injuries access to justice, while deterring lawyers who are out to make a quick buck."
Details of this case have only been made public this week. The UK coalition government has already pledged to cut back on an increasing compensation culture in the UK. However if it is not careful the government could prevent genuine claims going ahead.
Only in the UK though could the erection of safety signs cause an accident which ultimately cost a City council £70,000. I ask you?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Internet cafe owners across Florida have their eyes on Tallahassee as legislators consider a new ban on their business. Prompt action was taken by the Florida House on Friday after a nearly $300 million Allied Veterans of the World scandal rocked the state earlier in the week.
A revised bill to ban Internet cafes was introduced Thursday by the Select Committee on Gaming, and members voted 15-1 in favor.
"I would think its chances are very good, given recent events," said Representative Charles McBurney, who says he has supported a move to further define existing gaming laws since his first session in the House. He's currently in his sixth.
Internet cafes operate in a legal gray area under laws that permit sweepstakes and drawings for charity. While proponents argue games are an entertaining way of winning prizes, others call it a cover for illegal gambling.
In 2010, Jacksonville was the first Florida city to somewhat regulate Internet cafes, but they're not regulated in many other cities.
"This makes it clear to all jurisdictions that Internet cafes are what they already are: a banned activity in the state of Florida."
Customers like Janan Driggers don't see a problem, however.
She says she spent time at Allied locations in the past. While she's sick that some of her own money may have unknowingly gone to Allied executives instead of veterans' charities, she still enjoys the pastime that Internet cafes offer, and she doesn't think other businesses should suffer as a result of the Allied investigation.
"We, as adults, should be able to decide for ourselves. The state shouldn't make that decision for us. I mean, let the people make that choice."
McBurney, however, says a clear law is the obvious next step.
"I would anticipate that this legislation will move forward very fast."
If it does pass into law, the managers of The Mint Sweepstakes say they will be forced to lay off 75 employees from five locations across Jacksonville.
Customers like Driggers say that's not fair, considering the House committee passed the bill just days after the investigation was revealed.
"To decide on emotion because you're so mad at another establishment isn't right. They need to stop, step back, and review everything."
In regards to the speed of the bill, McBurney responded, "The sad events that have imminated out of Jacksonville, I think accelerated what was already there in the minds of many legislators."
He says the bill is similar to bills filed in the past, and he believes committee members did have enough time to review the changes.
In regards to job loss, he says, "If it's an illegal activity, and it's been considered an illegal activity, is this something where we want people to have jobs in this type of activity?"
On Monday, the Senate gaming committee will discuss a similar bill. The House bill will now move to the Committee on Regulatory Affairs.

Director's Welcome
Back in 1999, the Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) program had only 13 students and offered two courses. Now, we are one of the largest graduate programs at UNCW and are offering in Fall 2013, including internship and directed independent study, six courses at UNCW and four more (three online) at UNCW's Onslow County Extension Program (at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville). Also, we offer one of only several post-Master's certificate options in the U.S. and the only post-Master's certificate option among the currently existing seven graduate liberal studies programs in the state of North Carolina. Although we aim to serve primarily the local community, we have drawn many out-of-state and several foreign students. To this point the program has graduated 263 MALS students and awarded seven post-Master's certificates in liberal studies. Representative final project titles from Spring 2013 include: "Asia -- An Unexpected Love Affair","Functional Foods: A Cultural Perspective,", "Snowfall on Black Asphalt", "A Needed Understanding: Bridging the Gap between African American Residents in Wilmington, North Carolina," "The Link between Mental Illness and Creativity," "Crashing the Super Bowl: The Significance of Integrated Marketing Communications,"I am Her; She is Me," "Hank, Huck, and Homer: Heroes, History, and a Quest for Home," "Our Journey: The Story of My Family," "Journey Inward, Journey Outward: Navigating the Collective Unconcious," and "The Tintinnabulation of the Belss." This list of final projects highlights what is for me one of the most gratifying aspects of the program this year and every year: the graduation of students who, in spite of daunting professional, social, family, and service responsibilities, have, through their perseverance, determination, and academic commitment, completed degree and certificate requirements.
A recent development was the receipt of a named and endowed scholarship for GLS: The Loretta Schwartz-Noble Master of Arts in Liberal Studies Fellowship.Together with the teaching assistantships, scholarships, and awards, this fellowship will, when funds are available, help us fund (a few) deserving GLS students.
The coming year promises to be exciting. We have put together what we feel will be an exciting, diverse, and thought-provoking line-up of courses for this academic year. Further, the GLS program has now expanded to include the capability of completing the MALS degree in a fully online mode. For example, several students recently defended their final projects from distant sites on Skype -- Alaska, California and Italy!
Finally, then, welcome to the GLS web-page, in regard to which I would like to credit Perry Campbell, GLS program assistant and web-master. Thanks to Perry's assiduous vigilance, the GLS web-page provides a thorough and comprehensive overview of the GLS program at UNCW whereby you can conveniently access everything from admissions and degree requirements, Graduate School and GLS-related forms, descriptions of upcoming courses, student news and profiles, faculty web links, and a link to various campus event calendars. So I'd encourage you to browse through the web-page for further detailed information about the GLS program at UNCW and if you have any comments or suggestions feel free to contact Perry at campbell AT uncw DOT edu. I also invite and welcome any inquiries about the GLS program, the special quality of which is matched by the commitment, enthusiasm, and intellectual engagement of the students it enrolls.

Tuesday, February 1, 2005
The Seattle Mariners lost 99 games last year. It was a complete implosion for a proud franchise that had averaged over 98 wins over the previous four season, including that record setting 116 win 2001 season. As the season progressed, and some players who had been performed at an All-Star level for many previous years were performing far under their expectations, wins were few and far between, and little good was in sight. So, by mid-season the team released Rich Aurilia and later John Olerud. Freddie Garcia was shipped to the White Sox. Young players like Jose Lopez, Bucky Jacobsen, Justin Leone and Jeremy Reed got a lot of playing time. Long-time Mariner legend Edgar Martinez is now retired. Jamie Moyer is going to be 42 years old in 2005.
One would think that the Mariners would go into full-blown rebuilding mode. However, in this offseason, the Mariners spent over $110 million to bring in Adrian Beltre and Richie Sexson. The only positive for the M's 2004 season was the record-breaking season of Ichiro Suzuki who will be a table setters for the new bashers. The team hopes for a return to stardom for Bret Boone in his contract year. Raul Ibanez is a quality veteran. With the additions to the lineup of Jeremy Reed and Miguel Olivo, the offense should be just fine in 2005. The addition of free agent Pokey Reese will solidify the defense as well.
The Mariners current pitching staff looks to be Jamie Moyer, Joel Piniero, Gil Meche, Ryan Franklin and Bobby Madritsch. Moyer has been a quality starter for more than a decade. The others have each shown flashes of major league abilities, so with some offensive assistance and early season success, they could all have good seasons.
However, it is very possible, maybe even likely, that the best pitcher in the Seattle Mariners organization is not one of their five starters, but none other than Felix Hernandez. So why, you ask, is he not in the current Mariner's plan for their starting rotation? The lone reason that he is not a lock to make the trip north at the start of the season is that Hernandez was born on April 8, 1986, hence he is just 18 years old. Yesterday, I read a very interesting article on Hernandez in the Seattle Times written by Blaine Newnham titled Mariners should move Hernandez up to majors.
So, clearly, the biggest decision that the Mariners have to make this season is when to bring up their top prospect. If we are being honest, he has to be considered the best pitching prospect in baseball right now. Actually, I don't think it is even close. In my prospect ranking (which is just my opinion), Hernandez is the clear #1 prospect. But I don't think that is anything new or surprising as I'm sure Baseball America and many other reputable sources would rank him at the top of their lists as well.
Felix Hernandez was signed by the Mariners at the age of 16 in 2002 from Valencia, Venezuela, the birthplace of former Twins SS Alvaro Espinoza. In 2003, he started with Everett of the Northwest League. There he went 7-2 with a 2.29 ERA. In 55 innings, he struck out 73 hitters, and walked 24. He then moved up to Low A at Wisconsin, in the Midwest League where he made two starts. He did not factor into either decision, but he struck out 18 batters (walked 3) in 14 innings with an ERA of 1.93.
The 2004 season for Hernandez began at Inland Empire, High Class A, in the California League. He went 9-3 with a 2.74 ERA. In 92 innings, he struck out 114 while walking just 26. That performance forced the Mariners to move him up to AA San Antonio. By far the youngest player in the league, Hernandez continued to dominate. In 10 starts, he went 5-1 with a 3.30 ERA. In 57 Innings, he struck out 58 batters, with 21 walks).
The scouting report on Hernandez includes a 100 mph fastball with great control for such a power pitcher. He is also blessed with a big, Bert Blyleven-esque curveball to go with a changeup. The righty is listed at 6-3 and 180 pounds.
So, to summarize… Felix Hernandez has the tools, the necessary three-pitch mix, and he has dominated four minor leagues where he was the youngest player in the league.
So now the question is, "Should Felix Hernandez be in the Mariner's starting rotation?" Sadly, there are a number of factors that the Mariners manager Mike Hargrove and General Manager Bill Bavasi will factor into this decision, some that have nothing to do with baseball.
The reasons that he should be on the team are obvious. The Mariners are a team that could contend in the AL West in 2005 and hence, should field the best team possible. Should Hernandez prove in Spring Training that he is ready to contribute to the team, then common sense would tell us that he should make the team. The Mariners did not spend all that money on Adrian Beltre and Richie Sexson to rebuild, right?
It is generally believed and accepted that Hernandez has the physical tools to compete at the major league level already. To compare him to someone, he is much like Lebron James of the NBA. Physically, James had the NBA body. Tall enough, strong enough, 'toolsy' enough. Hernandez is big enough and strong enough, and he has the necessary pitching repertoire to pitch in the major leagues.
Many top pitching prospects skip AAA all-together. I have mentioned on numerous occasions that I think the best prospects come up from AA. Twins fans will remember that Brad Radke was called up from AA.
Some may argue that the injury-risk would be greater if he was brought up too early. I guess that I look at it the opposite way. If he is in the major leagues, the Mariners will be able to more closely monitor Hernandez's innings pitched and pitch counts. Also, the Mariners went the cautious route with one of the top pitching prospects in all of baseball for about a four year period, Ryan Anderson. They kept him down in the minor leagues and he never made it to the major leagues because he had arm surgery after arm surgery.
Did you know that if Hernandez made the Mariners roster and was their #4 starter, he would make his major league debut on April 8, 2005, his 19th birthday.
The Mariners have a history with bringing up young players successfully. Don't forget the 19 year old Ken Griffey Jr came to spring training in 1989. He wasn't supposed to make the team, but he played so well that he forced his way onto the roster and into the everyday lineup. I don't think that the Mariners regret that decision for a day.
For as many reasons as there are to promote Felix Hernandez to the Mariners right out of spring training, there are also many reasons to keep him down at AA or AAA for a while.
One reason is that Hernandez has really yet to struggle at any of his professional stops. Maybe spending some time against AAA pitching will allow him to respond to adversity.
Along with his physical talents, Lebron James' biggest attributes seem to be his intelligence, team play, and leadership abilities. He has the strong mental makeup to make it as a star in the NBA, even at a young age. He has the maturity that many players years older may never have. Does Felix Hernandez have the mental makeup to deal with a small strike zone, or giving up some big hits, or losing a couple of games? Does he have the self-confidence to know that he deserves to be in The Show? These are the types of questions that Mike Hargrove really needs to find the answers to before calling him up.
The minor league affiliates do have to follow the advice of the big league club. If the team is so concerned about over-using Hernandez, they could keep him at AA and tell the manager there to keep him on a very specific pitch count every game. Wins and losses are not as important in the minor leagues, so they could do a better job of this. It would be a way of attempting to prevent injuries.
The third and most unfortunate consideration that should be factored in is money. If Hernandez comes up to the big leagues at the start of the 2005 season, he will be arbitration eligible by age 22. He will be a free agent by the age of 25. Imagine, if he is the pitcher that many believe he will become, how much a 25 year old dominating starting pitcher could get on the open market in 2011.
Maybe it would be best to rebuild for one year and wait to bring Hernandez to the big leagues until 2006. With Pokey Reese and Bret Boone likely free agents at year's end, the M's will likely start Jose Lopez and Yuniesky Betancourt up the middle in 2006. Those three would be a good building block for years to come, along with Jeremy Reed.
I just wanted to take a look at some of the best pitchers in baseball, guys who have been dominant starting pitchers for the last decade. I wanted to see if they started their big league careers at an early age, or if they came up later. I also wanted to see how these pitchers performed in their first opportunity.
Greg Maddux passed the 300 win plateau last season. Maddux came up to the Chicago Cubs in 1986 at the age of 20. In '86 and '87, Maddux combined to go 8-18 with an ERA above 5.50 each year. Since age 22 (1988), Maddux has had no less than 15 wins in a season, and won four Cy Young Awards. For his career, he is 305-174 with a 2.95 ERA.
Randy Johnson did not come up to the major leagues until he was 24 yeas old in 1988. He wasn't actually good until 1990, at age 26. He wasn't a great big league pitcher until 1993 when he was 29. He now has a 246-128 record with a career ERA of 3.07. He is #3 on the all-time strikeout list. He has won five Cy Young Awards, and finished in the top 3 nine times.
Curt Schilling came to the big leagues at age 21. He pitched in 100 games in his first four seasons, making just five starts. He really wasn't a very good pitcher until age 30. Since that time, he has become dominant. His career record is 184-123, with a 3.32 ERA. Although he has not won a Cy Young Award, Schilling has finished second three of the last four seasons (losing to Johnson twice, and Johan Santana in 2004).
Pedro Martinez made his major league debut in 1992 with the Dodgers at the age of 21. In two seasons in LA, Martinez made just three starts in 68 appearances. He became a starter in 1994 at the age of 22, with the Montreal Expos. He has won three Cy Young Awards (and finished in the top 4 seven times) on his way to a 182-76 record (with a 2.71 ERA).
The Braves brought Tom Glavine up to the big leagues in 1987 at the age of 21. He played on two really bad Braves teams his first two seasons and hence generated a record of 9-21 in 43 starts between the two seasons. Since then, he has won two Cy Young Awards and won 20 or more games five times in his career. He is a career 262-171 with a 3.44 ERA.
What do we get from these few examples? To me, it proves just one thing. There is no set rule that tells a team exactly what it takes to produce a top pitcher. There is no right time to call a guy up. From this list of four Hall of Fame caliber pitchers, we have four guys that were called up in their early 20s and struggled before becoming great. Randy Johnson was a late developer and it took him a few years to be great. It took Schilling almost ten years to become great.
I think that the best comparison to make for Felix Hernandez is with a young Dwight Gooden. Gooden was brought up as a 19 year old pitcher in 1984. He was the National League Rookie of the Year after he went 17-9 with a 2.60 ERA. In 31 starts, Gooden threw 218 innings and have a strikeout/walk ratio of 276/73. He came back in 1985 even better. He started 35 games and threw 276 2/3 innings. He struck out 268 and walked just 69 batters. He was 24-4 with a 1.53 ERA. In his third season, at age 21, Gooden went 17-6 with a 2.84 ERA. He made 33 starts and threw 250 innings. He struck out 200 and walked 80. In his first eight big league seasons, Gooden went 132-53. For his 16 season big league career, Gooden was 194-112.
When people think of those early Dwight Gooden years, most think that he was all fastball. But truth be told, Gooden had a sharp breaking curveball that had batter's knees buckling. He was the complete package already at age 19. Now, if Hernandez has a changeup to add to his big curveball and near-100 mph fastball, he becomes the right handed equivalent to fellow Venezuelan and reigning AL Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana who has command of all three pitches as well.
Of course, Gooden had the well documented drug problems in the '80s and early '90s the essential ruined his Hall of Fame career. That had nothing to do with his physical abilities, or the fact that he was brought up as a 19 year old. I chose to blame the individual for problems with drugs, no one else. Also, how many players in the mid-80s had cocaine problems and suspensions? Lots! In other words, I believe that Gooden was really hurt by his era and his city. I don't know, but I don't think that the hard drug scene is at all prevalent in big league baseball today.
What does this all mean for Felix Hernandez? Really, it all means absolutely nothing. It just tells me that if he is ready physically and mentally to compete at the major league level, he should be brought up. Will he become a Hall of Fame level pitcher? Who knows? I mean, the odds are not good. It does appear certain that he will be a better-than-average big league pitcher. But, every pitcher is different, and knowing when to call up a pitcher (or a hitter for that matter) should have more to do with when they are ready than what it says on their birth certificate. To me, if Felix Hernandez is lights-out in spring training, he deserves to be on the Mariners Opening Day roster.

The Twins Geek discusses the huge raise that Kyle Lohse will receive through arbitration despite having a horrendous 2004 season. He comments, and I agree, that even if Lohse wins his arbitration case and gets $2.4 million in 2005, he will still be underpaid. As the Geek says, "Starting pitchers who are just 25 years old, and have averaged 190+ innings per year don't grow on trees. They are worth several million dollars per year."
Over at Twins Killings, Andy writes a great article on Joe Mays called Joe Mays: Lowered Expectations. They also have an article and pictures on Twins Fest as well.
Stick and Ball Guy Discusses seven interesting items.
Gordon Wittenmeyer of the Pioneer Press wrote an incredible article on the Twins missing out on Miguel Cabrera. Fascinating stuff! Jason Williams of the same paper writes an article on how Joe Mays' plans to earn his $7.25 million contract this season.
Be sure to vote for the Twins Hall of Fame!!
One quick thought as American Idol auditions will continue tonight on Fox. Remember Leroy Wells? He is the man in New Orleans who did what he could to get 'ya'll crunk up,' and "Can You Dig It?" Well, the first thing I have to mention is that when he appeared on TV last Tuesday, Wells was sitting in jail for his January 5th arrest on charges of assault and firing a weapon. He is also waiting for a trial on drug charges. He pleaded guilty to marijuana possession in 2004. He also pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in 2003. In all, he has been arrested seven times.
Now, if you didn't see last week's New Orleans episode, be sure to click here for the full audio version of Wells' audition. It cracks me up!
Click here to vote on whether Leroy Wells will be this season's William Hung.
And of course, you can also go to www.Leroy-Wells.com. to see his audition.
I suppose to be fair, I should mention that Brent at BrentNet writes today that "Reality TV is ruining television as we know it." I, of course, disagree. I say that networks put on what people are watching, and right now, that is reality TV. If more sitcoms could get better ratings, they would stay on. But that isn't happening, a trend that has been more and more prevalent in recent years. I think maybe a comment could be made about our society with these ratings (ie- we're all voyeurs who take pleasure in seeing other people's pain), but I don't think that the networks can be blamed. I admit, there are some really bad Reality shows (Who's Your Daddy and Trading Spouses come to mind!) Just my opinion. Check out the forums to voice your opinion. Oh, and he made fun of my man Breckin Meyer, and that's what really set me off to write this!! I really liked Inside Schwartz! But he has also been in movies like Road Trip, Can't Hardly Wait and Clueless. Yeah, I won't mention Garfield because that was an awful, un-finishable movie! Plus, he too is from Minnesota.
Have a great day and week! If you have any questions, comments, or ideas for future articles, please e-mail me. I am still checking my e-mail frequently.

NONE OF YOU KNOW THE REAL ANSWER, here it goes....The Harlem Shake or The Harlem Shake Dance is a very interesting Dance, it`s telling Gunman Style move out of the way, with more than 4,000 versions and more than 175,000,000 visits on You Tube, it consists in one person starting to dance and people start to join one by one like Follow The Leader type Dance but in this case you have the choice of doing the craziest step that most fits your personality, the name of the dance it`s because of the name of the track used on the video. "Harlem Shake" 1981 produced by USA DJ named Baauer and the dance it self was first danced in the early 80`s.
i have to try that out !!!!
Hehe... Just look it up on YouTube :)
It's when one guy or girl is dancing around and are usually in a motorcycle helmet while everyone around then are going about their day and when the music drops everyone goes nuts and starts shaking around
Watch those viral videos on YouTube and you'll know.
Some immature dance song that people think they can make videos to
Harlem Swing Dance (Harlem Shake), referred to as the Harlem Shake is a fast shaking shoulder dance. Because some of the action flow, the mainland known as the Cock silk dance. Original video uploaded first a blogger, after the rapid spread of a new dance craze swept the office, college campuses, even museums have not been spared under its viral YouTube.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLJg_-UqZdo <--- THIS is what it is. XD
A dance were people just go CRAZY!!! :)
I think it was invented to spoof Gangam, but it just might become bigger. Here's a great compilation...it's 10 mins long but hilarious from beginning to end.

look it up on YouTube P.S where have you been
It's a fad going on around youtube, you start with a cool beat, regular dancing i'd say.. Then the bass drops and some crazy sh*t happens.
The new Gangnam Stlye its the most popular dance where one person starts of dancing the beat drops and you hear "Do the HArlem Shake" and EVERYTHING GETS SUPER RANDOM!!
look at thoes (: and they should answer your question ;)

Were theres A group of Friends then one friend stands up with something on your head and Dances then every one stands up and dances for 30 seconds
It's a stupid dance move, just like how Thrift Shop is a stupid song.
watch! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=384IUU43bfQ

This week we have the first trailer for Steven Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower, an adaptation of his acclaimed novel of the same name.
A funny and touching adventure based on a best-selling novel that has sold over a million copies in the U.S. and has been published in 16 countries and 13 languages, THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER is a modern classic about a shy, sensitive teenager caught between trying to live his life and escape it
Here is the first image from Pacific Rim, the much-anticipated but little known Guillermo Del Toro directed sci-fi epic.
Get ready for a thrilling ride as Ewan McGregor narrates the fascinating full-length documentary feature-film FASTEST, released on Blu-ray and DVD on 11 June 2012, from Universal Pictures (UK).
Directed by Mark Neale through breathtaking camerawork this maximum-speed documentary captures the intense and heart-pounding reality of the MotoGP Championship, documenting a pivotal movement in the sport. Shot around the world in 2010 and 2011, FASTEST follows the legendary Valentino Rossi as he chases his eighth world title.
To celebrate the DVD release of Emmy and Golden Globe winning comedy series Entourage's eighth season, and the new seasons 1-8 boxset, we're giving you the chance to win season 8 on DVD!
The time has come to bid a fine farewell as 11 June 2012 marks the release of the eighth and final season of television's coolest show. After 96 episodes, the much-loved Emmy and Golden Globe winning series has come to an end. But fear not, as for the first time ever a Complete Boxset of Seasons One to Eight will also be available on 11 June 2012. Executively produced by Oscar nominee Mark Wahlberg (Contraband, The Departed) and loosely based on his own Hollywood experience, Entourage is a hilarious romp through the absurdities of modern-day Tinseltown, following the life of a young star and his buddies in Hollywood where the guys want to be them and girls want to be with them.
Despite not exactly setting the box office alight, Universal are already looking to produce a sequel to Rupert Sanders' fairytale adaptation, Snow White and the Huntsman.
The appeal of the Ealing comedies in the 21st Century comes to a great extent from the insight they provide into a vanished past. The Britain they portray, a world of plucky, amiable and tightly-knit communities always up for a gentle adventure, was probably a nostalgia-inflected fabrication even in the 1940s and 50s. Nevertheless, these films seem to reflect a perceived national spirit – if not a way of life, then certainly an attitude – that seems now to be long gone. Passport to Pimlico, more than any other of the half-dozen or so comedies released by the studio, presents a model of this lost, mythological Britain, and in light of the Queen's diamond jubilee, which has evoked a certain yearning for that rose-tinted era, its re-release is particularly appropriate.
Having had a career revitalisation through his Sherlock Holmes franchise, it looks like Guy Ritchie will be bringing his unique brand of adaptation to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island.
Stephen King is a difficult writer to crack on the big screen. A lot of his most famous works are the size of phone books and any attempt to faithfully adapt them for the big screen leads to disaster.
It's no coincidence that a lot of King adaptations are borderline nonsensical, whereas the most successful examples almost always come from short stories or novellas. The Shining is a notable exception but Kubrick pretty much re-wrote that novel to better fit his film, much to King's myopic frustration.
Warner Bros seem to be aware of this issue and, when approaching their future adaptation of King's 1986 novel IT, they appear to have come up with the best possible solution: Split it into two movies.
Captain America 2 has found its new director(s) and a series of set pics from Iron Man 3 may substantiate early rumours for The First Avenger's next big villain.

Not a Miracle, but helps
This blunts your appetite, but does not suppress to the extreme- oh, if only. It helps when you remember to take it (my problem) and plan on taking it when you are not already hungry- it really seems to help more when I am not already famished. I will use it, but still the hunt continues for a serious appetite killer. The price is right.

Full Circle Society
Create A Legacy – Join the Full Circle Society at Arena Stage. Even in the face of a complex economy, there are still many ways to support Arena Stage while planning for your financial future and that of your family – including gifts that may provide you with a stream of income for your lifetime.
You don't have to be wealthy to make a significant gift. Donors are able to make strategic contributions through a bequest, living trust or other gifts that provide benefits during your life and the life of a loved one. Your gift may support Arena Stage's Next Stage Campaign, endowment, annual fund, education programs, or you may also choose to restrict your gift to benefit a specific Arena Stage program.
A planned gift may help generate lifelong income, achieve significant income-tax restrictions, reduce or eliminate estate taxes, and/or convert low-yielding assets into a higher income stream at a reduced capital-gain cost. By making a planned gift, you are ensuring the future Arena Stage, and Arena's ability to inspire, entertain, and educate for another 60-years and beyond.

About the Full Circle Society
The Full Circle Society was established to recognize and thank individuals who have made a future gift to Arena Stage through their will or other estate plans. By making their gift intention, Full Circle Society members are assuring that Arena Stage will continue to challenge, educate and entertain audiences, and maintain its excellence in theater nationally, and internationally.
Any documented planned gift entitles you membership into The Full Circle Society, a very special group of friends who have included Arena Stage in their estate plans. Members receive invitations to exclusive programs and events, such as an annual appreciation dinner with Artistic Director Molly Smith and other exclusive events at the new Mead Center for American Theater.
We encourage you to consider the future of Arena Stage when planning your legacy and we appreciate your generosity and desire to connect your legacy with our mission.
Additional information
Arena Stage is a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and, further, is not a private foundation under section 509(a). Gifts and bequests to Arena Stage are deductible for income, gift, and estate tax purposes to the extent permitted by law.
Arena Stage strongly recommends that you consult your financial and/or tax advisor. For more information about making a planned gift that is right for you or to notify Arena of your gift intention please contact please contact Danielle St.Germain-Gordon, Chief Development Officer at 202-600-4029 or email@example.com.
"Making a planned gift to Arena Stage is my way to contribute to the revitalization of the Southwest Waterfront at the same time I am supporting an institution that finds new ways to challenge and entertain me each season. While I am happy to make annual gifts to support Arena now, joining the Full Circle Society by designating Arena as the beneficiary of my IRA, funds will pass directly to Arena without going through a lengthy probate process, helping to protect this cultural landmark for years to come."
- Vicki J. Hicks
"I chose a bequest because I wanted to have a BIG impact without giving a cash gift today. A bequest is the easiest and simplest way to make a gift."
- Judy Lynn Prince
"We feel the long-term viability of the theater really has to come from two sources- annual fundraising efforts and long-term donations [in the form of a planned gift] from the people who love the theater and are willing to commit to it in perpetuity."
- Beth Newburger Schwartz and Richard Schwartz
"We wanted to leave a legacy to places that were especially close to our hearts - and so Arena was right up there."
- Frankie and Jerry Williamson
"We feel it's very important to know that people, even of modest means, can make a difference. If every person gave whatever they can afford, then that's all these people working together to make a difference in supporting something vital, like Arena. It will then continue to live on for generation to generation to generation; that's why we have made a legacy gift."
- Mark and Merrill Shugoll

Near-infrared fluorescent nanoprobes for cancer molecular imaging: status and challenges Trends in Molecular Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 12, 1 December 2010, Pages 574-583 Xiaoxiao He, Jinhao Gao, Sanjiv Sam Gambhir and Zhen Cheng Abstract Near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging promises to improve cancer imaging and management; advances in nanomaterials allow scientists to combine new nanoparticles with NIRF imaging techniques, thereby fulfilling this promise. Here, we present a synopsis of current developments in NIRF nanoprobes, their use in imaging small living subjects, their pharmacokinetics and toxicity, and finally their integration into multimodal imaging strategies. We also discuss challenges impeding the clinical translation of NIRF nanoprobes for molecular imaging of cancer. Whereas utilization of most NIRF nanoprobes remains at a proof-of-principle stage, optimizing the impact of nanomedicine in cancer patient diagnosis and management will probably be realized through persistent interdisciplinary amalgamation of diverse research fields.

Transcription of Giant DNA Complexed with Cationic Nanoparticles as a Simple Model of Chromatin Biophysical Journal, Volume 92, Issue 4, 15 February 2007, Pages 1318-1325 Anatoly A. Zinchenko, François Luckel and Kenichi Yoshikawa Abstract We prepared complexes of giant double-stranded DNA with cationic nanoparticles of 10–40nm in diameter as an artificial model of chromatin and characterized the properties of changes in their higher-order conformation. We measured the changes in transcriptional activity that accompanied the DNA conformational transitions. Complete inhibition was found at excess concentrations of nanoparticles. In contrast, at intermediate stages of DNA binding with nanoparticles, the transcription activity of DNA survived, and this strongly depended on the size of the nanoparticles. For large nanoparticles of 40nm, a decrease in transcriptional activity can be caused by the addition of only a small amount of nanoparticles. On the other hand, there was almost no inhibition of DNA transcriptional activity with the addition of small nanoparticles (10nm) until very high concentrations, even under conditions that induced DNA compaction as revealed by single-DNA observation. At higher concentrations of 10-nm nanoparticles, DNA transcription activity decreased abruptly until it was completely inhibited. These results are discussed in relation to the actual size of the histone core, together with the mechanism of switching of transcriptional activity in eukaryotic cells.

Nanoparticles for drug delivery to the lungs Trends in Biotechnology, Volume 25, Issue 12, 1 December 2007, Pages 563-570 Jean C. Sung, Brian L. Pulliam and David A. Edwards Abstract The lungs are an attractive route for non-invasive drug delivery with advantages for both systemic and local applications. Incorporating therapeutics with polymeric nanoparticles offers additional degrees of manipulation for delivery systems, providing sustained release and the ability to target specific cells and organs. However, nanoparticle delivery to the lungs has many challenges including formulation instability due to particle–particle interactions and poor delivery efficiency due to exhalation of low-inertia nanoparticles. Thus, novel methods formulating nanoparticles into the form of micron-scale dry powders have been developed. These carrier particles exhibit improved handling and delivery, while releasing nanoparticles upon deposition in the lungs. This review covers the development of nanoparticle formulations for pulmonary delivery as both individual nanoparticles and encapsulated within carrier particles.

We describe a new method for selective laser killing of bacteria targeted with light-absorbing gold nanoparticles conjugated with specific antibodies. The multifunctional photothermal (PT) microscope/spectrometer provides a real-time assessment of this new therapeutic intervention. In this integrated system, strong laser-induced overheating effects accompanied by the bubble-formation phenomena around clustered gold nanoparticles are the main cause of bacterial damage. PT imaging and time-resolved monitoring of the integrated PT responses assessed these effects. Specifically, we used this technology for selective killing of the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus by targeting the bacterial surface using 10-, 20-, and 40-nm gold particles conjugated with anti-protein A antibodies. Labeled bacteria were irradiated with focused laser pulses (420–570nm, 12ns, 0.1–5J/cm2, 100 pulses), and laser-induced bacterial damage observed at different laser fluences and nanoparticle sizes was verified by optical transmission, electron microscopy, and conventional viability testing.

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who lives in Seattle.
I've never been to Seattle.
I'm going to the T-Birds game Friday night against Spokane.
In fact, I'm singing the national anthem.
It should be a fun night.
A group of us is also going to see the Tips and Vancouver next Wednesday.
I went to see the T-Birds & Tips last Friday.
It was brutal for the T-Birds but a great night for the Tips.
I wrote about it:
WHL: 'Tips take T-Birds, 4-0 at Comcast Arena - Blogger KING Sports
Warning: I write my game recaps from a fan's perspective, so you get EVERYTHING that happens at the game, not just the game itself.
Job- I just read your message and can't stop laughing!
I'm sorry but I don't know how to include your message in mine.
Can you tell I'm new at this? LOL
I'm going to the T-Birds/Portland game tomorrow (Saturday) night, then staying to see the Microsoft Celebrity challenge to benefit the Ronald McDonald House.
Going again Sunday to ShoWare to see the T-Birds take on the Silvertips.
I've been a ticket holder for 4 years, and love the new Showare center. the celebrity game is nothing special, but definitely a fun event and for a great cause.
Well, another King could be joining us very soon, depending on the trade deadline, Mr. Oscar Moller. I have heard this from a friend on the T-birds team. Can't say names, but my GF sister is a puck slut and has been dating one of the players for a while.
Showare center has been the best thing for the T-Birds, and we've only lost a few games at home since moving in, and have beaten Van. (best WHL team besides calgary) twice in the last two weeks. Key arena was absolutely a terrible place to place. I do gotta say that the Tips/Birds Rivalry is pretty good, but I am originally from Spokane and grew up there. Nothing beatst the Tri/Spok. rivalries and the old Portland/spok. rivalries when both teams were competing for cups.
Possibly adding Oscar to the mix could be a deadly weapon. But, we'll see. We need that extra Off. weapon, as our def. is pretty solid, but Off. is a bit weak with losing Hollway to Manchester this year, and a other few key guys. Still should be an exciting playoffs, as we'll be matched up with either Kelowna or Spokane. Also, young Calvin Pickard (brother of Chet Pickard/Nash. prospect/Tri goalie) has pretty much taken over as starter in his first season in the Dub. Pretty great kid, talented, and very mature for a 16 year old goalie. Should be another Pickard going in the first round in next year's draft.

LOVE ShoWare Center!
Re: Oscar Moller, I've heard that the Kings were supposed to make a decision yesterday. I hope he does come spend some time with the T-Birds- it would really give the team a boost.
Re: Calvin Pickard. I agree with you about his talent and maturity. I just interviewed him and he is so well-spoken, it's hard to believe he's just 16 years old.

01:45 AM ET 11.28 | Remember when Jon Gruden was involved in that bizarre trade from the Oakland Raiders to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2002? Well, the man they call Chucky is doing it again when it comes to the strange and usual. As of the moment, Gruden has an offer on the table to become the next head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers, and if he does, he'll get something massive in return that goes well beyond a fat payday. Should Gruden accept the head coaching job at Tennessee, new Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam (who's from Tennessee and is a huge Vols booster) is offering Gruden an ownership stake in the Browns. Talk about sweetening the deal. Gruden loves the NFL, and he's been itching to get back to coaching for a while now, but if he wasn't already going to return to the sidelines at the collegiate level, he's all but certain to now. However, the plan has more than one massive road block that could derail everything.

Is owning part of the Browns an incentive?
Yeah just like getting season tickets to the Browns as a Xmas gift = Coal from Santa!
Chuckie wont take that offer!
He wants a call from Jerry Jones.
I actually figured that Ralph Wilson might go this route to get Bill Cowher to take over the Bills

Ownership in the Browns ....wow......think a free parking space would carry about as much clout as ownership in the lowly Browns.
Kind of weird that the offer is not tied into coaching the Browns instead of the Vols. I guess Gruden is good enough for the new owner's alma mater but not good enough to coach his new NFL team?

If I'm a Tennessee player, should I be expecting the scowling (old) Gruden or the sunshine up everyone's a** (current) Gruden?
any job that gets him off MNF would be excellent
Why? They'll just find somebody worse to replace him with

No argument here...however he makes seven figures working two to three days a week...22 weeks a year. Tough gig to duplicate. I think Gruden might be fat and happy.
