extraordinarily vivid and personal portrait of
America's greatest political family and its enormous
impact on our nation (and it is a tie-in volume to
the PBS documentary to air in the fall of 2014).
This handsome, engaging, revelatory book is an
"intimate" history of three extraordinary
individuals from the same extraordinary family -
Theodore, Eleanor, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Geoffrey C. Ward, distilling more than thirty years
of thinking and writing about the Roosevelts, and
the acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns help us
understand for the first time that, despite the
fierce partisanship of their eras and ours, the
Roosevelts were far more united than divided. All
the history the Roosevelts made is here, but this is
primarily a book about human beings, each of whom
somehow overcame obstacles that would have undone
less forceful personalities, and all of whom
wrestled in their lives with issues still familiar
to the rest of us-anger and the need for
forgiveness, courage and cowardice, confidence and
self-doubt, loyalty to family and the need to be
oneself. This is the story of the Roosevelts - no
other American family ever touched so many lives.

Join The Chicago Council on
Global Affairs as it presents Nigeria: Strife and
Growth in the Giant of Africa.
Nearly 55 years after shedding
its colonial ties to Great Britain, many view
Nigeria as a bundle of contradictions. It is
Africa's largest economy, yet the majority of its
people live on less than a dollar a day. It spends
rigorously on security operations, yet it is unable
to curtail the spread of Boko Haram and Islamic
terrorism in the north. It is the most populous
country in Africa - the UN projects that Nigeria's
population will surpass that of the US by 2050 - yet
an ongoing brain drain may continue to deprive
Nigeria of many of its best and brightest. With
presidential elections slated to be held early next
year, how can Nigerians chart a brighter path
forward? What is the outlook for Nigeria's social,
political, economic, and security landscape?
This will be a discussion with
the following esteemed panel:
John Campbell
- Ralph Bunche Senior Fellow for Africa Policy
Studies, Council on Foreign Relations
- Author, Journalist, and Yale World Fellow
Alexander Thurston
- Visiting Assistant Professor, African Studies
Program, Georgetown University

Death of a King by Tavis Smiley is a revealing and dramatic chronicle of
the twelve months leading up to Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr.'s assassination. Martin Luther King, Jr.
died in one of the most shocking assassinations the
world has known, but little is remembered about the
life he led in his final year. New York Times
bestselling author and award-winning broadcaster
Tavis Smiley recounts the final 365 days of
King's life, revealing the minister's trials and
tribulations - denunciations by the press, rejection
from the president, dismissal by the country's black
middle class and militants, assaults on his
character, ideology, and political tactics, to name
a few - all of which he had to rise above in order
to lead and address the racism, poverty, and
militarism that threatened to destroy our democracy.
Smiley's Death of a King paints a
portrait of a leader and visionary in a narrative
different from all that have come before. Here is an
exceptional glimpse into King's life - one that adds
both nuance and gravitas to his legacy as an
American hero.

Joan Adler, executive director of the
Straus Historical Society, has written a fascinating
new book, For the Sake of the Children, the
Letters Between Otto Frank and Nathan Straus Jr.
In 2007, a file of letters between University of
Heidelberg roommates and lifelong friends, Otto
Frank and Nathan Straus Jr., was found in the
archives of YIVO: Institute for Jewish Research in
NYC. The letters revealed for the first time that
Otto Frank, diarist and Anne's father, tried
desperately to get his family out of war torn
Holland in 1941, fifteen months before they went
into hiding in the now famous attic at Prinsengracht
263, Amsterdam. We have long known of the
relationship between these two men. The story of the
letters is being published in a book for the first
time. It enriches our understanding of the
relationship between Otto Frank and Nathan Straus
Jr., about the history of the Frank family and gives
us greater insight into this tragic era.
Hadley School for the Blind Event
7:00 pm at
The Winnetka Community House
A blind man and his
guide dog show the power of trust and courage in the
midst of devastating terror. It was 12:30 a.m. on
9/11 and Roselle whimpered at Michael's bedside. A
thunderstorm was headed east, and she could sense
the distant rumbles while her owners slept. As a
trained guide dog, when she was "on the clock"
nothing could faze her. But that morning, without
her harness, she was free to be scared, and she
nudged Michael's hand with her wet nose as it draped
over the bedside toward the floor. She needed him to
wake up.
With a busy day of
meetings and an important presentation ahead,
Michael slumped out of bed, headed to his home
office, and started chipping away at his daunting
workload. Roselle, shivering, took her normal spot
at his feet and rode out the storm while he typed.
By all indications it was going to be a normal day.
A busy day, but normal nonetheless. Until they went
into the office.
In Thunder Dog,
follow Michael Hingson and his guide dog,
Roselle, as their lives are changed forever by two
explosions and 1,463 stairs. When the first plane
struck Tower One, an enormous boom, frightening
sounds, and muffled voices swept through Michael's
office while shards of glass and burning scraps of
paper fell outside the windows.
But in this harrowing
story of trust and courage, discover how blindness
and a bond between dog and man saved lives and
brought hope during one of America's darkest days.

In the

we work beyond recognition. In, Your Job & How
Technology Will Change It, Richard
Lieberman, nationally recognized employment and
IP expert, explains how every working person in
every industry and profession will soon experience
profound changes in their work as technology, social
networking and virtual communications alter the way
jobs have traditionally been performed. Lieberman
documents how most people, particularly those over
the age of 40, do not fully understand the nature of
these changes and are worried about their ability to
adapt to future job requirements. Lieberman
explains not only what will happen to your job, but
more importantly, how you can survive and prosper in
the changing work world. While there have been many
books about how technology is changing the world,
this is the first book to examine how the technology
revolution will affect you and your job.

BOB KING, Jr.
in to meet local author, Bob King as he
discusses and signs his book, Why? A Courtroom
Drama of Self-Discovery. It's about
Dartmouth professor Dan Jackson who had never
thought about murdering his students. Yet, when he
finds two pistols perched on top of the mid-term
exams in his briefcase, he cannot resist the impulse
to pull out the guns and start shooting. Now Dan
struggles to find the answer to the question that
haunts him: why did he kill fifteen of his students?
Dan's search for the answer must be pursued through
his defense to the criminal charges and possible
death penalty. However, his grizzled, pony-tailed
lawyer does not want to know why Dan shot his
students - he wants to use Dan's ignorance as the
basis for an insanity defense. That defense opens
the door for prosecution and defense psychiatrists
to probe for the answer in Dan's troubled past, with
seemingly inconclusive results. Dan still holds out
hope that the answer will be revealed during a trial
that is filled with surprise testimony and withering
cross-examinations. But if the answer is discovered,
will it provide Dan with the solace he desires?

This eye-opening look at the rising oppression of
Israeli women offers a rallying cry for how women
everywhere can fight back.
Across Israel - one
of the world's most democratic countries - women are
being threatened and abused as ultra-Orthodox Jewish
factions seek to suppress them. In this stunning
expose, award-winning author and leading Jewish
women's activist Elana Sztokman reveals the
struggles of Israeli women against this increasing
oppression, from segregation on public buses-in a
move Hillary Clinton called "reminiscent of Rosa
Parks"- to being silenced in schools and erased from
newspapers and ads. This alarming patriarchal
backlash isn't limited to Israel either: its
repercussions endanger the rights and freedoms of
women from Afghanistan to America.
But there's hope as
well: courageous feminist activists within the
Orthodox world are starting to demand systemic
change on these fronts, and, with some support from
non-Orthodox advocates, they're creating positive
reforms that could help women everywhere.
Blending interviews
with original investigative research and historical
context, Sztokman traces the evolution of
this struggle against oppression and proposes
solutions for creating a different, more egalitarian
vision of religious culture and opportunity in
Israeli society and around the world.
Fearless and
inspiring, The War on Women in Israel
brings to light a major social and international
issue and offers a rousing call to action to stop
the repression of women in Israel and worldwide.

Cut Adrift by Marianne Cooper makes an important and original
contribution to the national conversation about
inequality and risk in American society. Set against
the backdrop of rising economic insecurity and
rolled up safety nets, Marianne Cooper
explores what keeps Americans up at night. Through
poignant case studies, she reveals what families are
concerned about, how they manage their anxiety,
whose job it is to worry, and how social class
shapes all of these dynamics, including what is even
worth worrying about in the first place. This
powerful study is packed with intriguing discoveries
ranging from the surprising anxieties of the rich,
to the critical role of women in keeping struggling
families afloat. Through tales of stalwart stoicism,
heart-wrenching worry, marital angst, and religious
conviction, Cut Adrift deepens our
understanding about how families are coping in a
go-it-alone age - and how the different strategies
affluent, middle-class, and poor families rely upon
not only reflect inequality, but also fuel it.

Thousands of books have examined the effects of
parents on their children. In asking what the
effects are of children on their parents, journalist
Jennifer Senior analyzes the many ways in
which children reshape their parents' lives, whether
it's their marriages, their jobs, their habits,
their hobbies, their friendships, or their internal
senses of self. She argues that changes in the last
half century have radically altered the roles of
today's mothers and fathers, making their mandates
at once more complex and far less clear... by
focusing on parent-HOOD, rather than parent-ING.
All Joy and No Fun is original and
essential reading for mothers and fathers of today -
and tomorrow.
The Hundred-Year House is an incredible and original new novel from Rebecca Makkai,
the acclaimed author of The Borrower.
Now, Makkai returns with an ingenious novel
set on an historic estate that once housed an arts
colony. Doug, the husband of the estate's heir,
desperately needs the colony files to get his
stalled academic career back on track. But what he
discovers when he finally gets his hands on them is
more than he bargained for. Doug may never learn the
house's secrets, but the reader will, as Makkai
leads us on a thrilling journey into the past of
this eccentric family.

Before the First Shots Are Fired is
a hard-hitting analysis of the history of America's
use of military action and a spirited call for
For the better part
of the last half century, the United States has been
the World's Police, claiming to defend ideologies,
allies, and our national security through brute
force. But is military action always the most
appropriate response? Drawing on his vast
experience, from combat in Vietnam to peacekeeping
in Somalia, to war games in Washington, DC and
negotiations with former rebels in the Philippines,
retired four-star General Tony Zinni argues
that we have a lot of work to do to make the process
of going to war - or not - more clear-eyed and
ultimately successful. He examines the relationship
between the executive and the military (including
the difference between passive and engaged
presidents); the failures of the Joint Chief of
Staff; the challenges of working with the UN,
coalition forces, and NATO; the difference between
young, on the ground officers and less savvy senior
leaders; the role of special forces and drone
warfare; and the difficult choices that need to be
made to create tomorrow's military.

Exile combines the swoon-worthy
romance of a Susane Colasanti novel with the rock
'n' roll of Eleanor & Park. Summer Carlson knows how
to manage bands like a professional--minus the whole
falling-for-the-lead-singer-of-the-latest-band part.
But Caleb Daniels isn't an ordinary band boy--he's a
hot, dreamy, sweet-singing,
possibly-with-a-deep-dark-side band boy. She also
finds herself at the center of a mystery she never
saw coming. When Caleb reveals a secret about his
long-lost father, one band's past becomes another's
present, and Summer finds it harder and harder to be
both band manager and girlfriend. Maybe it's time to
accept who she really is, even if it means becoming
an exile herself

The Hopkins Touch
offers the first portrait in over two decades of the
most powerful man in Roosevelt's administration.
David Roll shows how Harry Hopkins, an Iowa-born
social worker who had been an integral part of the
New Deal's implementation, became the linchpin in
FDR's--and America's--relationships with Churchill
and Stalin, and spoke with an authority second only
to the president's. Gaunt, nearly spectral, and
malnourished following an operation to remove part
of his stomach, the newly widowed Hopkins accepted
the president's invitation to move into the White
House in 1940 and remained Roosevelt's closest
advisor, speechwriter, sounding board, and friend
nearly to the end. Between 1940 and 1945, with
incomparable skill and indefatigable determination,
Hopkins organized the Lend-Lease program and steered
the president to prepare the public for war with
Germany. He became FDR's problem-solver and fixer,
helping to smooth over crises, such as when the
British refused to allow an invasion of Europe in
1943, enraging Stalin, who felt that the Soviet
Union was carrying the military effort against the
Nazis. Lacking an official title or a clear
executive branch portfolio, Hopkins could take the
political risks his boss could not, and proved
crucial to maintaining personal relations among the
Big Three. Beloved by some--such as Churchill, who
believed that Hopkins "always went to the root of
the matter"--and trusted by most--including the
paranoid Stalin--there were nevertheless those who
resented the influence of "the White House
Based on newly available sources, The Hopkins
Touch is an absorbing, substantial new work
that offers a fresh perspective on the World War II
era and the Allied leaders, through the life of the
man who kept them on point until the war was won.

LIGHTFOOT - A FAN Event
7:00 pm at
Evanston Township High School
With the insights she
has gleaned from her close and subtle observation of
parent-teacher conferences, renowned Harvard
University professor Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot
has written a wise, useful book about the ways in
which parents and teachers can make the most of
their essential conversation - the dialogue between
the most vital people in a child's life.
"The essential conversation" is the crucial exchange
that occurs between parents and teachers - a
dialogue that takes place more than one hundred
million times a year across our country and is both
mirror of and metaphor for the larger cultural
forces that define family-school relationships and
shape the development of our children. Participating
in this twice-yearly ritual, so friendly and benign
in its apparent goals, parents and teachers are
often wracked with anxiety. In a meeting marked by
decorum and politeness, they frequently exhibit
wariness and assume defensive postures. Even though
the conversation appears to be focused on the
student, adults may find themselves playing out
their own childhood histories, insecurities, and
Through vivid portraits and parables, Sara
Lawrence-Lightfoot captures the dynamics of this
complex, intense relationship from the perspective
of both parents and teachers. She also identifies
new principles and practices for improving
family-school relationships. In a voice that
combines the passion of a mother, the skepticism of
a social scientist, and the keen understanding of
one of our nation's most admired educators,
Lawrence-Lightfoot offers penetrating analysis
and an urgent call to arms for all those who want to
act in the best interests of their children. For
parents and teachers who seek productive dialogues
and collaborative alliances in support of the
learning and growth of their children, this book
will offer valuable insights, incisive lessons, and
deft guidance on how to communicate more
effectively. In The Essential Conversation,
Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot brings scholarship,
warmth, and wisdom to an immensely important
cultural subject - the way we raise our children.

The Von Ehrics Radio
Hailing from Dallas, TX, the Von Ehrics play fast, loud, and raunchy rock & roll informed by the classic country music that filled their homes when they were kids and the punk rock and speed metal albums they dug when they were teenagers. Guitarist and lead singer Robert Jason Vandygriff and bassist Jeffery Wayne Mosley grew up in a small town in Fannin County, TX, and in 2000 they decided to form a band. That band became the first edition of the Von Ehrics, who cut a four-song demo in 2001 that they soon self-released as an EP. In 2003, the Von Ehrics issued their first full-length album, Damn Fine Drunks, and began hitting the road, playing Dallas clubs and as many gigs through the Southwest as they could muster. Vandygriff and Mosley played with a rotating lineup of drummers during their first five years -- an exasperated Vandygriff once told a reporter, "We've gone through five drummers in the past six months" -- but they finally found a percussionist who could keep up with them when San Antonio native Gabe Aguilar joined the Von Ehrics in 2005. A year later, the independent label Rocket 13 Records released the Von Ehrics' second long-player, The Whiskey Sessions; the album earned enthusiastic local press and the Von Ehrics stepped up their touring schedule, roaring into the Midwest and East Coast as well as their usual haunts. The band played Wisconsin often enough to impress the proprietors of the indie Crustacean Records label; they signed the Von Ehrics and took them into the studio to cut their third album, Loaded, which was released in the spring of 2009. ~ Mark DemingPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

I am a born-again Christian and I am so glad that I have the Living God in my life.I am single and loves animals. I haven't ever been married but I hope one day the Lord will bring the right one to my life, but if that is not His will for me then that is ok too. He knows what is best. I have no children, but I enjoy the outdoor life camping and I enjoy music, and movies and reading.

What the…? Father Throws Car Seat at Mother — With Baby Still In It!
Police in Clarksville, Tennessee arrested a man for throwing a car seat -- with his baby inside -- at the child's mother last week.
Police in Clarksville, Tennessee arrested a man for throwing a car seat -- with his baby inside -- at the child's mother last week.
Miranda Sowers was kicked out of a Brother's Pizza after changing her four month old's diaper at the table.
It's not easy finding good help to watch your children these days.
This Father's Day, make sure to get dear ol' dad an extra special gift because he's taking extra special care of you these days.
Odds are you took it easy this past holiday weekend. That's what weekends and holidays are for, right? Well, if you're the type to take it easy at noon on a Tuesday, take heart -- being lazy could be inborn.
A father-son trip to the skate park has landed one man at the center of a storm. A Florida man is being investigated by the Department of Children and Families after video of him pushing his six-year-old son down a skateboard ramp went viral over the weekend.
It's a stereotype that dads are protective of their daughters -- especially when boys come around courting their little girls. Well, this father is no different.
As disturbing and shocking as this headline is, believe it or not, it gets worse. Please feel free to read on, but be cautioned that this gets rather graphic.
Police officers in Taos, New Mexico have found themselves in the center of the storm for their handling of a traffic stop.
I can't believe this video. The video below shows a baby sleeping on a platform that has four cobra snakes on it. The snakes pay no attention to the child and seem to almost be protecting the sleeping baby.
While this video was originally published in 2009, it has started to cause an outrage after going viral in the past few days. The video shows a tragedy in Memphis where a 2 and 3 year old child die in a house fire. The thing that is really outraging people is that the kid's aunt seems to be more concerned about her purse and foodstamp card and can even be seen giggling about the situation.
Oh, teens and their fancy electronic gadgets.

"box" day, YEAH!
I don't have time to have my own garden so I truly appreciate this lovely gift each week of beautiful organic produce from farmers across CA. Even if I did have time to garden I would never be able to grow all of these amazing goodies.
What a wonder to see the variety and bright colors each week!. Thank you to the farmers who make it possible for my family to eat a rainbow of colors every single week!
So...What came in the box this week?
Have you ever longed for a simpler life? Remember the Little House books by Laura Ingalls-Wilder? Those books have always been a favorite and now that I am a busy full time working mom of 3 I find myself thinking of Ma raising her family and how much simpler their lives were. They lived off the land in small houses, focused on family, and saw each day as a blessing. Our lives CAN be simpler and I think looking to the wisdom of "Ma" is part of the answer.

London's Best Spas
By S. S. Fair
London hums with activity around-the-clock, but with the 2012 Olympics fast approaching, and preparations for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee well underway, the city is buzzing at breakneck speed. Massive urban facelifts mean severe disruptions on the city streets, but it's all for good cause: Gold medals and the Crown Jewels.
It makes us tired even considering that Queen Elizabeth II has been continuously employed for 60 years, with no retirement in sight. If you're planning a visit to London during these pre-event makeovers, you might get tired, too. If so, head for some R & R at these noteworthy London spas, where aromatherapy massages and facials culminating in sprinklings of diamond dust will have you back on the Piccadilly Circus circuit—or wherever else strikes your fancy—in a rejuvenated jiffy.
Coworth Spa
Carol Joy is a UK luxury skin care brand offering diamond dust in some of its creams. You'll find its spa at Coworth Park, 20 minutes or so from Heathrow, and miles away from the teeming flux of London. Coworth's been aptly dubbed an eco-luxury spa: Housed in its own building—a buggy ride away from the adjacent hotel and private cottages—Coworth Spa sits on 240 acres of pristine greenery. The spa has eight spacious treatment rooms, plus a heated swimming pool on the lower floor that pipes underwater music as you paddle away. Their luxury Diamond facial with light microdermabrasion is a girl's (or guy's) best friend. And while at Coworth, do indulge in some of the best food in the British Isles (you can diet tomorrow).
Dorchester Spa
The Dorchester Collection owns Coworth Park, as well as the iconic Dorchester Hotel on Park Lane. The Dorchester Spa is its basement retreat done up 30s Deco-style, where the facials and massages hit new heights in poshness. No amenities have been spared, and the spa menu allows for bespoke treatments to fit your special needs. So make room for a Rose Cocoon exfoliation and massage, or a Lavender Crush body treatment in the hushed atmosphere of privilege. If there's time, a caviar mani and pedi in the white-on-white salon is a singular experience.
NYR Organic Beauty Spa
King's Road used to be the hippest of hip streets in a fashion-obsessed city; it was pure rock-and-roll, over-the-top chic. Now it's mainly a strip of international brands, but in their midst is NYR Organic Beauty Spa, a sliver of heaven with two treatment rooms using the cobalt-blue bottled, made-in-Britain Neal's Yard skin care products. More ways to get that aristocratic English Rose complexion: NYR's Pure Radiance Wild Rose Facial or Damask Rose facial. We've found that simply standing in the store for a few minutes, breathing the herbally infused air, is all it takes for an instant resuscitation.
Four Seasons Spa
From My Fair Lady to a Mayfair lady: at the Four Seasons Spa, a rooftop retreat on Old Park Lane in Mayfair, boasts the most spectacular views of London from its 10th floor aerie: see The London Eye, Westminster Abbey, the Gherkin, and Big Ben, while sporting a plush bathrobe. Indulge in a Rose Crystal Lymphatic Facial with The Organic Pharmacy products, or a Golden Glow body treatment with the outstanding Omorovicza skin care line from Hungary, with ylang-ylang oils enriched with shimmering gold particles.

Event Name- OR - Select an option below
Though its name is right out of an action/sci-fi flick, Area IV is actually a down-to-earth, delightful dive located on the western boundary of the Princeton Heights neighborhood. We couldn't help but notice a theme here: A staggering number of police badges line all four walls of the interior, the bartender looks like a cop and there's even a small party of off-duty lawmen hunched conspiratorially over a corner table. Although sports play on the television mounted above the bar, the real entertainment is found in the patrons. The bartender smiles and rattles a pair of handcuffs at a woman who ostensibly just told a lude joke. There's an infectious cheer in the air here. Just remember to mind your pints and quarts; otherwise, you might be leaving in a squad car.

Poughkeepsie, NY (Sports Network) - Scott Machado scored 17 points, converting all six of his free-throw tries, as he helped lead the Iona Gaels to a 56-51 win over the Marist Red Foxes in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference action at the McCann Center.
Also scoring in double figures for the Gaels (18-7, 10-4 MAAC) was Rashon Dwight with 12 points, while Alejo Rodriguez came up a point shy of a double- double as he posted a team-best 10 rebounds in the team's ninth win in 10 tries.
The Red Foxes (1-23, 1-13), losers of 12 in a row and all but one of their 24 outings this season, were paced by Candon Rusin with 17 points, followed by Daye Kaba with 10 points.
Iona scored the first points of the afternoon and never looked back, leaning on its defense to hold the Red Foxes to a mere 36 percent shooting from the field in the first half to claim a 31-28 lead at the break.
In the second half the Gaels had a hard time lining up shots from the floor, converting just 6-of-18 attempts, but the visitors saved themselves with an impressive 11-of-12 showing at the charity stripe in the period to grab the five-point win.
Iona managed to survive despite just 5-of-19 shooting behind the three-point line and 18 turnovers.

Based on what we've seen so far in the Sagarin Rankings and Coaches Poll, all signs are pointing towards the Alabama Crimson Tide playing for the national title over the Oklahoma St. Cowboys.
The last bastions of hope may end up being the Harris Poll. If Alabama beats LSU in an ugly title game while Oklahoma State blows out their opponent, the Harris might be able to step in and deliver a Co-National Title karate chop to the BCS' sternum.
It's a good thing the AP doesn't play a role, though.
That theory, however, relies on the ability for AP voter to realize that Oklahoma State is, at the very least, the third-best team in the nation right now. Even that might be too much ask.

Local wrestlers disappointed Olympics may drop the sport
BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. - One of the most popular youth sports in the U.S. may be eliminated from the global stage.
The International Olympic Committee announced Tuesday that wrestling -- one of the oldest sports in Olympic history – would be dropped from the 2020 games.
The Blue Springs High School wrestling team heard the news while preparing for the upcoming state championship. For them, it's more than just a sport.
"When I go out there on the mat, I'm able to perform the way I want to. It's no one else's match but mine," explained high school senior Cain Salas.
"The pressure's on you to think," Coach Mike Hagerty said. "Pressure's on you to perform, and there is a lot of pressure."
High school sophomore Joseph King agreed.
"When you step on the mat that guy might be your best friend, but it's really a fight," he said. "You have to do whatever it takes to beat him."
For some of these wrestlers, this may be their last match. For other, collegiate wrestling awaits. But their Olympic dreams are pinned to the mat.
"I think about all the people that love wrestling so much and stuff, and how they're just going to take it out of the Olympics because after college that's pretty much the only thing left is the Olympics," King said.
"You have all these other sports that go on and get to do the Olympics," Cain said. "Why take someone else's sport away?"
The IOC Committee will make its final vote for the inclusion of wrestling this September.
"We've got ping-pong, we've got some other sports," Hagerty listed. "No disrespect for anything else, but wrestling to me has a lot more resolve to it."
For these Olympians in training, they hope wrestling hasn't heard its last whistle. Wrestling will now join seven other sports in applying for inclusion in 2020.

She explained all the rooms and uses, and even negotiated with the security people to get us a good place in line, ahead of the large tour groups. The interesting things we learned about the palace and the Romanov family are as follows:

We have early admission to the Hermitage Museum, part of which is the former winter palace. It is a place that you could spend days going from room to room looking at the collections of artifacts and paintings and tapestries and listening to the stories that go with them but thankfully we only have 2 hours!

The huge marble columns along the exterior were brought to the construction site via the river, rolled on their sides to the site, and then lifted by elaborate pulley systems to drop them into place.

Historical Traveler Reviews Park Inn Pribaltiyskaya St Petersburg St. Petersburg
Too large and cold
We stayed at this hotel as part of a package tour to Russia earlier this year, therefore we had no choice as to where we stayed. Having been very pleasantly surprised in Moscow, we were hoping for the same in St Petersburg - alias, this was not to be. For a tour of only 2 people (all pre-paid and booked in Australia), we had mix-ups left, right and centre. Not major ones admittingly, but enough to throw you in a foreign country. For a major hotel on many a package brochure, it all seemed very disorganised and with the acception of a few, the staff very unconcerned. The hotel itself is massive and a rabbit warren of rooms. The meals served were OK but nothing exceptional. There was a lot of construction happining at the hotel during our stay and this happened 24/7. One of the things that the hotel does have going for it is the free-shuttle bus into the centre of St Petersburg. We used this a few times and had no problems at all. You are dropped off and picked up at the Kazan Cathedral which is in walking distance to most of the major sites in the city. St Petersburg I might add - is beautiful. In all, not the worst hotel I have ever stayed at but definately not the best.
Very nice and really not that far out,if you can manage the metro 10minute walk.
I would highly recomend this hotel.It is about a ten minute walk to the metro and from there you can go anywhere.I have stayed in St. Petersburg twice in 2005 and this experience was better than the first by far.The food was great,staff very helpful and room clean and nice and for the price you can not beat it,really this is the one to stay at.i did however have a problem with the ATM machine at this hotel,but the staff tried there best to fix it,it really was not thee problem,but be careful at these machines,its best to use a banks machine if needed.
Nothing to Write Home About
Our tour group spent 3 nights here. The lobby, restaurant and staff are all very nice. Rooms were mediocre at best. Location is horrible. Not only are you way out from the city, you are surrounded by dilapidated apartment complexes. Sure it's by the water but that isn't much of a selling point in November. Still, it worked out fine since we were with a tour and our bus picked us up each day. If I were travelling independently it would have been a pain. Then again, hitchhiking is the thing to do there. It's very safe and very cheap. Take 5 minutes to just stand on any street in town and watch everyone do it. Bottom line, there are much better options in town.
Enormous Hotel
Stayed 1 night on 1st August 2005 in the Hotel Pribaltiiskaya in St. Petersburg to commence our Russian holiday. It is quite a distance from the centre- local bus and metro. Like most Russian hotels it is enormous. Rooms were pleasantly bigand well serviced. Our view was to the front of the Hotel which was of concrete. We had a very good meal and service in the restaurant which was open planned for all to see. The breakfast was buffet styled in an enormous function room. You could sit at any of the large tables which held about ten. The receptionists were pleasant and very helpful. There is a small supermarket to the left of the hotel where coke and water was cheap even thought you spoke through a window. Not much to do in hotel or surroundings and you would have to arrange a few trips which we did. All in all a good experience.
Too far out
this hotel is so far out in its own little island-it is impossible to get around.Tip number one---book a hotel that is on mainlain--you can see the st petersburg map-All bridges go up for the trade ships and it makes it impossible to get to airport-if you have an early morning flt---i happen to ck online and did see the times -i belibe bridges up 4am to 6am--not sure ck on this--the point being-we had to go to airport at 330am to avoid the bridges and we had a 6am flt--airport closed so you have to wait outside on sidewalk---anyway---location of this hotel not good---view is great all water around you--They have a free shuttle bus to town-to flea market-but was always full--we finally got on one morning and was told it wasnt for our tour grp---it was a fee you paid in the tour to use the hotel bus--we fought witht he manager-as they didnt have a problem with us spending money at the bar/restaurants-we were the youngest grp at the time--30/40 s age grp.
most of the guest didnt dine there.Bowling alley/suana---OUTRAGEOUS prices--100usd for 15min suana---20usd for a bowling game--Overall as a hotel clean/nice view/good price--but too inconvienent not worth it-by the way-no pay fones in st petes at all-anywhere-so dont buy a fone card-cant use it--you must call from hotel- use front desk fone not room fone.
St. Petersburg: the Venice of the North... with out the Western Culture
I will not waste too much space on pointing out that, in Russian culture, smiling to strangers is considered a sign of mental infirmity. Smiling is considered a sign of affection that is only reserved for friends and family and is seldom directed towards brief acquaintances. That being said, more of the staff than not at Pribaltiyskaya, as with most destinations in Russia, speak only broken English. If you are not the type of traveler to leave your Western comfort zone and dive into a language and culture not based in Latin or German Pribaltiyskaya Hotel is not for you. If putting a little effort into your communications is not a problem for you, something one must do everywhere in Russia unless a personal translator is always at hand, then you will find that the well kept rooms are more than worth the effort. Know that, if anything, the rooms will get a little too warm during the winter and spring months (an open window will solve this in only minutes). The food in the restaurants and bars is quite good and the computer service in the business center is better than most, but it is a little expensive. Wireless internet is available free of charge in many locations. One complaint that is valid is the Pribaltiyskaya's distal location from St. Petersburg proper; however, the view from the hotel onto the Finnish gulf is beautiful enough to make up for any geographical inconvenience. One last note, in the spring of 2005 the Pribaltiyskaya was in the early stages of construction of an indoor (heated) water park as part of their facilities.
Stayed here in 2001 with Intourist. This hotel exempifies what Intourist do badly. While our Moscow experience was good our Intourist guide here picked us up off the overnight train and took us on a long trip to this hotel. She was unable or unwilling to get us access to our rooms or even anywhere the hotel could provide temporarily for us to freshen up. Hence we were forced into a city tour before there was any possibility of us checking in! Totally disgraceful.
The hotel itself is in the middle of nowhere but we managed to find our way into town by way of walking, strange mini-bus trips to the subway and onwards. Lots of bars etc. in this hotel but none seemed busy nor were open late.
Rooms were drab and ours faced grim housing blocks which in itself did not bother us. By far the best view was from the back of the hotel over the Gulf of Finland.
For a variety of reasons we wouldn't visit St. Peterburg again. We certainly would not visit this hotel again. Overall our experience was bland in the extreme. The hotel has nothing to recommend it.
Uncomfortable and bad value
I am Engish and expect at least a modicum of good manners from hotel staff. No one at Pribaltiyskaya could display this basic attribute. During the five days we spent there we could not conjure up a real smile from them, until they pestered us trying to sell vodka and caviar at breakfast, when a hideous false grimace was proffered. Requests for help were met with up front rudeness. The food was heavy, coarse and to my taste, quite repulsive. It was also very poor value indeed. What a pity that Voyages Jules Verne downgraded our hotel to this one without consultation. There must be better ones in St Petersburg: in fact I know this to be so from friends who were lucky enough to stay at one such. The tourist trade would collapse if all hotels were like this low grade production line.
Avoid Pribaltiyskaya
This hotel is in the middle of nowhere, 25 minutes from downtown and far from Metro. Shuttle bus to downtown only 4 times per day. Last one is at 7PM so you can't eat downtown. Rooms are fairly large. Our TV was broken. Required two attempts to get if fixed. Restaurants in hotel were fair. Most of the restraurants listed in the hotel directory do not exist anymore. Pay more and stay near downtown where restraurants and attractions are.

Rick Ross come get your friend!
Chief Keef Threatens Life Of Women Who Won't Have Relations With Him
Via NewsOne reports:
On the heels of rapper Rick Ross' severed relationship with Reebok due to lyrics bragging about drug-induced date rape, Interscope artist, Chief Keef (BigGucciSosa300), has released a record threatening to kill a young woman if she doesn't perform fellatio.
"You aint gonna let me f*ck and I feel you, but you gone suck my d*ck or I'll kill you," Keef raps.
As previously reported by NewsOne, Chief Keef is no stranger to controversy.
The mother of slain Chicago teen rapper, Lil JoJo, Robin Russell, and his brother, John Coleman, made an appearance on BET's Don't Sleep with T.J. Holmes and accused Keef, both Keith Cozart, of playing a role in her son's death. While Russell says that she doesn't believe he pulled the trigger, she does believe that he hired a hitman and she also fears for her life.
Keef is currently being sued for child support by a Chicago 8th grader.

Love can be tricky so watch for the signs
Pay close attention keep this in mind
Be ware of what you find
careful what you find
love can be yes but really mean no
anyone's guess which way the heart goes
time will let you know
ohh time will let you go
She was too wild to keep
But too tame to lose
Too bright to see
The dark in you
You reap all that you sow
When you learn to let go
Love can only grow free
In the gloom of the night
Where my light still shines
Close your eyes you will see
The beauty in me
Love can betray then reborn to be kind
Hate is an option that never survives
Be ware of what you decide
Careful of what you decide
Love has been tricky but I've learned in time
Better to have loved than never know why
I Believe
Written By: Mendoza
It's been a lifetime since you left
I'm lost in the night
And the pavement never ends
What I said and what I meant
Doesn't matter anymore
And the booze helps me pretend
That you are still mine
And my laughter never dies
Tonight I vow to change
To feel your hold
I'm much better than before
And I can make this work
If you can mend
So can love in every war
I believe
What a fool I have been
When you were at my door
I never let you in
But I can start over again
Change is the constant
It won't let you pretend
That all the world is fine
And you are still mine
Tonight I vow to change
To feel Gods hold
I'm much better than before
And I can make this work
If you can mend
So can love in every war
I believe
The truth is gold
That love don't die
If you make it yours and mine
If you can hear me now
I hope you smile
Cause I understand the reasons now
El Cañón Del Diablo
Written By: Mendoza/Peters
Por el cañón bajé hace tiempo
Rodeado de los ecos de la noche
En el cañón el oscuro se hace dueño
Dame luz que guíe y no reproche
Detrás del cañón el sol se pone
Las sombras son ahora firmamento
El aullido de aquel lobo se antepone
Y el Diablo se apodera del miedo
Sigue este camino hasta el vacío
Haré cumplir cada uno de tus sueños
Bajo estas rocas es el sitio
Un Tesoro y tú su dueño
Cavé una fosa en el cañón
Dos metros como tumba en el frío
Aquel tesoro mi traición
Enterrado yo y aquel desafío
Gateando salí del cañón maldito
Los rayos atravesando el cielo
No me abandones Dios te necesito
Sal de aquí dijo aun no es tu momento

It's called a videobomb
It's called a videobomb
Haha the last one is awesome!
Alyson! She's been in Cheaper by the Dozen and Camp Rock! She never disappeared! Some people are just stupid
I always hear things about Steven Anthony Lawrence (Beans), I'm friends with him on Facebook! He accepts just about anyone, he's a really cool dude
The little girl from the Missy Elliot music videos is Disney star Alyson Stoner
What about when you're trying to get to sleep! Each time I lie down my bladder is just like "I don't be thinking so"

Lyric Battle: Nicki Minaj vs. M.I.A.
Today's lyric battle could read like an "Unlikeliest Collaborations" post of sorts. Madonna recently enlisted rapper Nicki Minaj and activist-pop-star M.I.A. to appear on her first single in years called "Give Me All Your Luvin'" and the results were very unique! The two appeared as cheerleaders in Madge's video (Nicki, an enthusiastic cheerer and M.I.A....well, less than) and also joined her on stage at the Super Bowl (no comment on M.I.A. apparently giving the middle finger to the camera!).
We decided that since these two starlets are old friends by now, they wouldn't mind a little friendly competition in the form of a lyric battle! We chose lyrics from each of their new singles, Nicki's "Stupid H**" and M.I.A.'s "Bad Girls". Vote for your favorites!
