Tia Bryant '10 plans on attending graduate school in fall 2011.
"I chose Randolph-Macon College because of its welcoming environment," says
Tia Bryant '10. "I also thought that the campus was beautiful—and it
wasn't too far away from home." For Bryant, home is Chesterfield, Virginia, but
it's easy to see that she has made Randolph-Macon College her "home away from home."
The sociology major, who holds a minor in
ethics, is an incredibly active member of the
R-MC community. She has been a member of no fewer than 16 clubs or organizations
since she began her career at R-MC. Among them: the Residence Hall Association,
the Alcohol Advisory Board, Women of Color, Student Government Association, Habitat
for Humanity and the Ujima Gospel Choir. And that's just a sampling.
To read more Student Experience stories, click here.
Bryant is especially proud of her involvement with the Ujima Gospel Choir. The choir
is a multicultural organization that promotes unity throughout the Randolph-Macon
and Ashland communities. "When I joined in 2008, there were only five choir members;
now there are over 30 members," she says. "Being in the choir requires many late-night
practices and many performances, but we all do it because we enjoy singing and worshipping
God and it brings us all together."
Bryant was the first recipient of the R-MC Board of Associate's Leadership Scholarship
in 2008. In addition, the Ujima Gospel Choir was named the Best New Organization
in 2008. In 2010, Bryant was awarded the 2010 Senior Leadership Award for her hard
work and dedication to the campus community.
Bryant's work with Habitat for Humanity—building houses in New Orleans that were
destroyed by Hurricane Katrina—is especially important to her. "It is important
to me because it shows how meaningful it is to others when you help them," she says.
"Building houses for Habitat for Humanity was one of the most enriching and humbling
experiences of my life. When I look back at the experience, it makes me proud that
we were able to accomplish such a task."
Bryant plans on attending graduate school in fall 2011. "I'm going to continue studying
sociology, with a focus on criminology," she says. "The subject fascinates me because
I can gain insight on the inequalities in the justice system and learn ways that
the system can improve." Bryant will first do an internship with the Chesterfield
Police Department to get some experience and also become a member of their auxiliary
force. "I have great hopes that it will give me good experience in the field that
I can bring to the classroom," she says.
Bryant has heartfelt advice for R-MC freshmen: "On this campus there are many opportunities
for you to develop yourself both personally and academically," she says, "but it's
up to you to open your mind and explore them."

The 'scariest selfie' is a daring stunt, but could have been a social stance against racism.
One driver was seriously injured following an accident in the northbound lane of Interstate 77 Tuesday evening.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, the injured driver cut between two 18-wheelers and struck the back of one of the trucks.
The car flipped several times and the driver was thrown out of the vehicle. There is no word on his condition.
The Highway Patrol continues to investigate.

Yesterday, I preached talked about how wearing sunscreen on your face is the single most important thing you can do, beauty-wise. So today, I KNOW 99 percent of you slapped on your broad-spectrum, UVA- and UVB-protective sun protection all over your mugs—and it would be rude to forget your neck, ears and hands too, right? Good.
But today's post is for the tiny minority of peeps out there who, for a variety of reasons, get a bit slack-ass on the sunscreen. Now, don't worry—no judgement here and I'm not going to bore you with all the usual sunscreen facts that magazines like to publish annually in their summer issues (zzzzzzzzzz). But I THINK I can help with some of the most common reasons for sunscreen non-compliance:
You don't wear sunscreen because…
1. You never burn.
Okay, newsflash: even if your skin doesn't burn, it's still being exposed to UVA (remember "A" is for aging; the "B" in UVB is for burning). And by aging I don't just mean wrinkles but also this lovely long list: dry, dehydrated skin; sagging; pigmentation changes; skin thickening; and loss of elasticity. Fun!
I can personally vouch for this, too, as when I'm in the sun sans protection, I don't tend to burn as much as I will develop freckles all over my face. And I don't mean the cute kind.
So the solution, of course, is to find a sunscreen you actually like and will wear (I promise they're making them differently these days—non-greasy and non-chalky options ARE out there)…
2. It makes your skin look greasy.
I was a victim of the sunscreen-induced midday oil slick until I found Pure + Simple's All-Natural Sunscreen SPF 30 for Oily/Impure Skin. (Check it out in yesterday's gallery.) It's simply amazing. You can also check out powder sunscreens like the one from Colorescience (again, in the gallery), which will help keep oil in check better than a cream or lotion. Many mineral powders have built-in sunscreens as well, or you could try an oil-control primer with built-in sunscreen like Shu Uemura's UV Under Base Mousse SPF 30. (How smart is that, right?)
Another tip: skip the moisturizer under your sunscreen if you've been layering them… if your skin is looking oily, you probably don't need it during the day.
3. It makes your skin look chalky.
If you're into natural sunscreens (made from zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide), one of the biggest pet peeves I hear about is that they can often look chalky on darker skin tones. What you want to look for are micronized formulas, which basically means the particles are so small that they won't give that whitish cast. (Read more about this here—and note that micronized does not mean nanoparticles, for which there are some safety concerns.)
One to try: EmerginC's SPF 30+ Broad Spectrum Sun Protector (in the gallery), which is both a micronized formula AND tinted, which should help. If chalkiness is a concern for you, don't be shy about asking for a tester before you buy, and remember to rub the product into your skin well.
4. You're afraid of the chemicals.
And this would be the reason you might choose a natural sunblock. We're learning more and more about sunscreen chemicals like oxybenzone and retinyl palmitate, which some experts say are harmful hormone disruptors. Plus, many people find chemical sunscreens irritating to sensitive skin.
The good news is that there are now PLENTY of natural choices out there. The two ingredients to look for are zinc oxide and titanium oxide, and I've included several in this gallery. But I ALSO encourage you to check out the Environmental Working Group's 2010 Sunscreen Guide for more information and to look up the safety of any sunscreens you wear or are considering.
5. You're not outdoors long enough to need sunscreen or to bother reapplying.
If your summer weekdays consist of travelling from air-conditioned car to office and home again, with maybe 10 or 15 minutes of outdoor time in between, then I can see why you wouldn't want to slather yourself like you're heading to the beach.
And it always struck me as CRAZY that derms would suggest reapplying sunscreen at lunchtime, thereby messing up our makeup just for a quick dash out to go buy a sandwich.
What to do? I'd opt for a mineral powder with built-in sunscreen, which you can quickly dust over your face in a jiffy. (Did I just say jiffy?) Anyway, I know most are only SPF 15, but they'll give you at least SOME protection and you can reapply as needed without messing up your makeup underneath. Just don't rely on them if you plan to bake on the beach or be outdoors for extended periods of time!
6. Don't we need the sun to produce vitamin D?
And now we come to the health part of the equation, which I'm probably as passionate about (maybe more) than all the beauty stuff I gab about here. (But keep in mind, this is not medical advice and I'm not an MD, obviously!)
Yes, our bodies produce vitamin D from the sun, but for those of us who don't live in the tropics (I only wish), we're realistically never going to make enough from the limited time we spend in the sun. ESPECIALLY us Canadians (even though some of us are enjoying a heat wave this week). Oh I know, the experts like to tell us that we can get all the vitamin D we need from exposing our bare skin to the sun for 10 minutes per day, but this simply isn't true—read this excellent article for more details on why.
Instead, we should be doing what our ancestors did—obtaining our vitamin D from food sources. Supplements are okay (and I did used to take them), but what is blowing my mind lately, as longtime readers will know, is high-quality cod liver oil. From what I've read here, it's safe in higher doses than the pills (i.e. less toxicity risks), although you should still follow package directions, and there is a fabulous bonus: it makes your skin look amazing too. (Wiped out hormonal acne in me and my BFF and makes our skin, as well as my mom's, absolutely GLOW. My hairdresser is even a convert now!)
Besides the cod liver oil (which I order from here), you can obtain vitamin D from foods like butter, whole milk, egg yolks, organ meats, lard, shellfish and oily fish. It's a good idea to have your doctor check/monitor your levels before and during any new supplementation programs.
So whaddaya think? Have I converted any sunscreen slackers out there? Let me know if you have any more sunscreen hate-on reasons in the comments!

Guiding Light Church of God in Christ
Pastor Gary Skinner
After 15 years of pastoring in Houston, Pastor Gary W. Skinner, a native of DeQuincy, returned home to help in the area ministry. In Houston, Texas in 2010, he merged the two churches he was pastoring and entrusted the members to the leadership of Pastor Iman Edwards. Shortly thereafter, Pastor Skinner and his family returned to Louisiana.
In early December 2011, Pastor Skinner established Guiding Light Church of God in Christ in DeQuincy. In January 2012, we were blessed to begin having weekly Sunday services at the DeQuincy Oak Street Center.
Church services are currently being held each Sunday: Sunday School 9:30 a.m./Worship Service 11:15 a.m.
Since Guiding Light's establishment, besides worshipping God, we have been very active participants in numerous community organizations. We also donate school supplies, host the Annual Juneteenth Celebration and assist with the needs of the elderly, etc. Last year, we purchased land on which God's house would be erected.
This year, with the help of the Lord, we are committed to building Guiding Light Church of God in Christ which will be located at 907 South Grand Avenue, DeQuincy in the fall.

Dodgers Announce Magic New Ownership Deal
By Aaron Blevins, 3/29/2012
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Frank McCourt on March 27 announced an agreement under which Guggenheim Baseball Management LLC will acquire the Los Angeles Dodgers for $2 billion upon completion of the closing process.
The purchasing group includes Mark R. Walter as its controlling partner, as well as Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Peter Guber, Stan Kasten, Bobby Patton and Todd Boehly. McCourt and certain affiliates of the purchasers will also be forming a joint venture, which will acquire the Chavez Ravine property for an additional $150 million.
"I am thrilled to be part of the historic Dodger franchise, and intend to build on the fantastic foundation laid by Frank McCourt as we drive the Dodgers back to the front page of the sports section in our wonderful community of Los Angeles," Johnson said.
According to a statement, representatives of the Dodgers believe the transaction underscores the debtors' objective to maximize the value of their estate and to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy under a successful plan of reorganization, which will result in all creditors being paid in full.
"This agreement with Guggenheim reflects both the strength and future potential of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and assures that the Dodgers will have new ownership with deep local roots, which bodes well for the Dodgers, its fans and the Los Angeles community," McCourt said. "We are delighted that this group will continue the important work we have started in the community, fulfilling our commitment to building 50 Dream Fields and helping with the effort to cure cancer."

Three new technologies come together to maximize performance in this cordless tool line.
The WrightGripScaffold Ratchet is designed to lighten the load for scaffold builders. It features a 7/8-inch socket wrench, a 7/8-inch open-end wrench, and a nonsparking hammer with a replaceable plastic face.
According to Irwin, the new Universal Handsaw is the only saw you'll ever need.
Handy 14-in-1 tool for painters
Measure, press on the case, and you've made your mark
Bosch's new GLM 80 laser features a unique "two-axis tilt sensor" that can determine the height of distant objects and perform straight-line measurements.
Graco says its RentalPro Airless Paint Sprayers have been designed to stand up to the rigors of the rental market.
Though best-known for clamps and layout tools, Bora also makes a full line of spirit levels, which it says can take anything the job site dishes out.
The materials for this project arrived on the job the usual way — via truck delivery — but that was pretty much where any resemblance to a normal job ended.
Channellock says its new 8-inch High-Leverage Lineman's Plier (#368) requires considerably less cutting force than the competition, thanks to increased leverage achieved by moving the rivet forward, closer to the cutting edges.
The next time the plumber goes berserk with a Sawzall, it might not take so long to repair the damage.
If you accidentally hit rebar with a SpeedHammer Power SDS-plus Masonry Bit, you might be able to keep the cursing to a minimum.
The new generation of lithium-ion subcompacts are lightweight and surprisingly powerful for their size.
Choosing the right tool can make a nasty job easier and safer.
I've never rushed out to buy the latest spirit level.
A long look back at the humble screw.
The Quickfire Hand Torch fits easily in tight cavities that other torches are too big for, says the maker.
Bosch recently came out with an adaptor plate that lets you use the company's extensive collection of cutting and sanding attachments on any brand of oscillating multi-tool.
The Super Pencil looks like a typical carpenter's pencil except that all of it - not just the core - is graphite.

Tap Your Inner Chef at Upcoming Cookbook Event
By M.M. Cloutier
There's an old joke (er, dumb joke) in Palm Beach that pokes fun at islanders who don't—or can't—cook.
It's pretty Borscht Belt, no matter who the teller.
"She eats out so much, the directions manual is still in her kitchen oven."
Cue the snare rap and symbol bang.
Fact is, some of the best cooks around are Palm Beachers.
I'm not one of them, but I, too, enjoy cooking, mostly because the act of it necessitates and confers in-the-zone moments.
Sharing a personally cooked meal—whether it's triumphant or partially flubbed—is nice, too.
If you feel the same way, be sure to drop by the Junior League of the Palm Beaches' "Out of Our League Cookbook Swap" next week.
The event—Wed., Feb. 2 from 6-8 p.m.—is open to the public. It features cookbooks published by more than 50 different Junior Leagues around the country—from Bronxville, N.Y. to Sacramento, Cal. There are also some from Bermuda.
Each cookbook is offered for $26 and 100 percent of the proceeds benefits the Junior League of the Palm Beaches (JLPB), which has a cookbook of its own, "Worth Tasting," featuring 200 recipes, local historic-landmark depictions and an introduction by Barbara Nicklaus, whose recipe for Jack's Favorite Cake (he of Golden Bear fame) is included.
The cookbook event takes place at the JLPB's headquarters at 470 Columbia Dr. in West Palm Beach. For more information, visit http://www.jlpb.org or call 689-7590.
About the Author
M.M. Cloutier is a longtime freelance journalist who has written and reported about dining and food, business, history, travel, people and more for numerous local, regional and national publications, such as Palm Beach-area newspapers and magazines, as well as The New York Times, Time magazine and others.

Longtime political mover Lucille Lagasse dies at 90
Lagasse, who was 90, was remembered for her ability to organize Republicans in the state's largest city in the 1970s and '80s. The skill landed her spots in the campaigns of Ronald Reagan and U.S. Sen. Louis Wyman.
"She worked hard, she cared about New Hampshire, she was a good Republican," said former Gov. John H. Sununu. He remembered how she organized a small coffee-fueled gathering of potential supporters when he ran for governor in 1982, something invaluable when one is a little-known politician.
"She knew a lot of people. Lucille was very helpful in convincing people to be supportive," Sununu said.
Lagasse's daughter, Paulette Weaver, said her mother was living at her Goffstown home at the time of her death. She attributed her mother's death to heart problems.
A widow for the past 35 years, Lagasse kept an active social life and sang and danced well into her 80s.
"During Friday night, she would wear out every old guy on the dance floor," said her son, Charles Lagasse.
When not doing politics or dancing, she raised a family of five children. She also advocated health and good eating, authoring a book - "Doin' What Comes Natur'lly" - that combined recipes with her homespun advice and lyrics from popular music of the post-war era, Charles Lagasse said.
Lagasse said his mother was also proud to work as an aircraft mechanic during World War II.
One of her greatest accomplishments, however, took place in 1973, when she and Roger Lawrence, a St. Anselm College biology professor, founded the American-Canadian Genealogical Society. Located on South Elm Street, the organization contains copious volumes of family, parish and historical records of French-Canadians, Acadian and Franco-American heritage.
Lagasse said it is the largest library of its kind in the world.
"She had that very organizational, leadership kind of character," Weaver said.
She said her mother's volunteer work with many charities allowed her to draw upon connections for political campaigns. Legasse was also a member of an advisory board that worked with William Loeb, the former publisher of the Union Leader and New Hampshire Sunday News.
Lagasse represented Manchester in the New Hampshire House in the 1970s and ran in Republican primary contests for the U.S. House and Senate in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Boy Scouts have settled a lawsuit filed by former Scout from Eugene who sought more than $5 million.
Attorney Stephen Crew brought the case on behalf of the victim. He told The Register-Guard the case was settled through mediation, and terms of the agreement could not be revealed.
The former Scout claimed in the lawsuit that the organization should have protected him from Ed Dyer, a one-time Scoutmaster who admitted to abusing as many as 15 boys.
Dyer later moved from Eugene to Central Oregon, and in 1985 he was convicted of molesting two teenage boys and was sentenced to 20 days in jail.
A few months later, one of those boys went to Dyer's home and shot him at close range with a sawed-off shotgun.

A 2:50 p.m. report of a suspicious person brought police to Memorial Drive. An officer wrote later: "Unit 21 responded, found party in question, he was checked out and sent on his way, was just sitting in his car."
Police received a 9:17 a.m. report that a vehicle had been broken into at 97 Maple St.

"Les Biches" (1968)
Another take on the class struggle, this time with some lust, deception and creepy identity-theft under/overtones thrown in for good measure, Chabrol's "Les Biches" focuses on a disturbing and sexually ambiguous relationship between two women in Paris. The older, beautiful and wealthy Frederique (Stéphane Audran once again) picks up the younger, street artist Why (Jacqueline Sassard), takes her under her wing and provides her a home. While some call it a tortured lesbian relationship -- a bathtub scene early on features copious discomfort and smooth wet skin -- it's the equivocacy of the females' bond that gives the film its potency and sexual electricity. Soon the duo takes a trip to the older woman's villa in Saint Tropez and there they meet three men, the most important of the trio being the charming and sophisticated Paul Thomas (Jean-Louis Trintignant). While Frederique tries to show the belle artiste how to navigate the choppy waters of affluent society, both women set their amorous sights on the debonair older man. But of course only one woman can win and thus when Why is rejected, her affection for both Paul and Frederique begins to curdle, and takes a turn toward the calmly deranged. Audran won Best Actress at the 18th Berlin International Film Festival for her turn as the nurturing and yet icy Frederique. [B+]
"The Unfaithful Wife" (1969)
Chabrol's love of Hitchcock is more than evident in "The Unfaithful Wife" which was also his second film to star his then wife, Stéphane Audran in the lead. The tale of an adulterious love triangle, lauded at the time of its release for turning a revealing lens on the French bourgeoisie, the film follows an unhappy marriage made happy again when the husband murders his wife's lover, which rekindles her respect for her husband's power; hardly a typical love story. Though overall the film is emotionally minimalistic, that provides greater contrast for the show of passion displayed in the murder, contributing to the off-kilter approach. Indeed, if truth is really stranger than fiction, then Chabrol's take on marriage feels so very strange, it simply must hold some truth. It also features one of Chabrol's best parting shots in -- "Je t'aime comme un fou (I love you like a fool/crazy person)." Like all strong material these days, the film was remade in 2002 as the English-language "Unfaithful" starring Richard Gere and Diane Lane. [A-]
"Le Boucher" (1970)
Neither a typical thriller nor a typical love story, but unnerving, creepy and strangely romantic in equal measure, "Le Boucher" focuses on two emotionally damaged people thrown together by circumstance. Set in a small village, Helene Daville (played by Stéphane Audran) plays a sad schoolmistress, left cruelly by her lover 10 years earlier who has romantically shut down. Popaul (Jean Yanne) is a butcher, just out of the army -- who also carves up bodies. Both yearning for connection, the lonely souls become strange companions, spending their free moments together. However Helene is unable to reciprocate Popaul's feelings; when he asks what she would do if he kissed her, she replies, "Nothing, but I wish you wouldnt." Chabrol's elegantly painted portrait of romantic realism takes the foreground, against the slowly building suspense of a series of murders taking place in and around town -- blood is used sparingly but to great effect. Though hardly a whodunnit (the identity of the killer is evident to all, most of all Helene) the more interesting game at play is why Helene doesn't turn him in and if his unrequited love will lead him to kill her -- and whether maybe, after all, they could still save each other. Also featuring a disturbing score by Pierre Jansen, "Le Boucher" is arguably Chabrol's masterpiece, an elegant construction of mood, tone and atmosphere that is disarmingly effective and acutely disquieting. [A+]
"La Rupture" (1970)
Featuring Chabrol's patented sense of dread and unease, the director's 7th feature is another skewed take on Hitchcock -- a social drama/horror with fluctuating tenors of mystery and intrigue that will leave you indignant. Opening with a brutal domestic dispute that results in a six-year-old being hospitalized with a head injury, this flick from the Cahiers du Cinema genre prince follows its very foregrounded violence with less literal scumbaggery and backstabbing, eventually climaxing with nearly every character devolving into insanity. After the disastrous scene during breakfast, Helene (Stéphane Audran) moves into a creepy boarding house and struggles for sole custody of her injured son. However, her husband's wealthy parents care neither for her plan nor for her, so they hire Paul Thomas (Vincent Cassel's poppa Jean-Pierre) to dig up/fabricate dirt so that they can gain care of the boy. Paul pretends to be an old acquaintance that Helene must've forgotten and clandestinely inserts himself into her life by pretending to be sympathetic to her plight, even though he is quietly pulling strings to paint her as an unfit mother. As the filmmaker has already lassoed audiences in with a blunt beginning, for the rest of the movie he employs more dialogue-heavy sequences involving morally complex characters than shock tactics. But knowing that chattiness can get tiresome, he puts extra effort into exhibiting the supporting cast and locations, from the strange boarding house tenants (who provide just the right amount of unsettling flair) to the curious park balloon-seller (maybe the only rational, kind human being in the entire picture). By the end, most of the players meet destructive fates, all except for the oily rich father pulling the strings -- though his plan didn't quite work out, he's certain to gain the care of his grandson considering the state of everyone else. It's a poignant punctuation by Chabrol; a scathing attack on the haves who make the have-nots do their bidding, and reap the benefits in the end. [B+]

Thanks, means a lot.
Glass | September 22, 2011 9:13 AM
AWESOME writeup! Chabrol probably won't get the web traffic that a Godard or Kubrick retrospective would get, but it's articles like this that keep your blog nice and dense and nuanced. Believe me, it goes a long way!
Great great work, you guys.
The Playlist | September 22, 2011 7:00 AM
You know, as a big Chabrol fan, that was the one film i felt was missing, had never seen and couldn't easily find.
rob | September 22, 2011 5:58 AM
The beast must die was arguably his best film. Anyone who loves film should watch that film. Same goes for Le Boucher. As a big Chabrol fan, thank for you this column, I enjoyed reading it.

Let's dust off the old blog here.
Car trouble.
over worked.
Okay, dusted and off the pity pot!
I have not felt very creative. Which is unfortunate because creating is what brings me such joy and energy. It's like a dose of good medicine. So how fortunate that I had a commitment, and a deadline to fill! I finally got my dose of medicine!
My trip to CHA was so much fun. Did I mention that? It was so special to meet so many of the great women that I have known for years. Getting to spend time with Lisa, Mandy, Sharmaine, and Stephanie was a highlight. Forget the new product, (although it was delicious) and the scrap celebs (whatever) it was just fun hanging out with these ladies.
On our second show day we got to walk the floor and just relax. It was a blast. We ended up in the photo booth at Me and My Big Ideas. So we crammed in with our disguises and took this photo. We each got one and Lisa had the brilliant idea to team up and each create a layout with the photo.
Here's mine.
This makes me so happy. Love, love these girls.

By all accounts, sports radio veteran Joel Blumberg of East Meadow was both a force to be reckoned with and an unsung hero in his corner of the sports broadcasting world.
For more than 30 years, Blumberg worked as an engineer, producer and play-by-play man for professional and college sports teams including the Islanders, Rangers, Knicks, St. John's and Manhattan College. He was also the former sports director for WGBB radio on Long Island as well as an avid film buff and historian.
However, Blumberg, 64, died suddenly Friday, Dec. 17 of an apparent heart attack while riding a New York City–bound LIRR train, en route to work at a Miami Heat vs. New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden.
Blumberg is survived by his wife, Jill, and daughter Miranda, 14.
"He was a no-nonsense guy who taught me so much about being a professional broadcaster, and yet, as much as he asked of me, he was so much more demanding of himself," said Tony Sibilla, who worked for Blumberg as an engineer in the late 1980s.
"Despite all that, he loved the sporting world so much and prepared himself for every game as if it was a championship matchup. It was that high level of quality that we learned to expect from ourselves to this day. It certainly was a very important life lesson that I credit Joel for everyday."
Ed Ingles, a longtime broadcaster for WCBS and close friend, recalled Blumberg's zest for life.
"Joel had a passionate approach to whatever he did," Ingles said. "He felt like that was the most important thing in the world at that moment."
Calling Blumberg an extraordinary producer, engineer and play-by-play man, Ingles recalled working numerous events together and playing golf. He also recalled his penchant for helping people.
"Joel loved to help people…He liked to fix things, he loved a good discussion, and sometimes they got heated, he was opinionated. He had a big heart and it gave out on the LIRR train last week."
"It's never easy when an architect of our culture leaves, especially an unsung one," wrote Tom Mongelli, news bureau chief at Millennium Radio in northern New Jersey. "But it's consoling to know that everyone after him takes some of his influence with them."
Marc Ernay, a sports reporter and anchor on 1010 WINS radio, paid tribute to Blumberg via his Facebook page.
"This is my friend, mentor and occasional golfing buddy, Joel Blumberg," Ernay wrote, below a photo of Blumberg. "He'll be missed by all who knew him."
And, those who truly knew Blumberg were keenly aware of his abiding passion for film and classic movies.
"He loved classic movies and respected the history of film and broadcasting," said Sibilla. "He had just finished writing a book about the late actor Lloyd Nolan and he was an old movie buff who knew the stars, producers and directors of most films and he would critique those movies," Ingles said.
Rob Kowal, a sports host on WGBB, recalled that Blumberg was able to combine his work with his passion for movies through his program on the station, "Silver Screen Audio" a show that focused on classic films released on DVD.
"I did not know Joel very well, but anytime we spoke he was always offering his assistance with my development of Sports Radio NY," Kowal said.
Kowal also remembered that Blumberg had helped yet another WGBB sports host, Eric Mirlis, with a charity broadcast only a few days before he passed away.
"Joel was simply a nice guy, always willing to lend a hand, and he will be missed by all that knew him here at WGBB."

U.S. stock market futures fell on Monday ahead of data that's expected to show a fall in retail sales, as investors also likely refocus on when the Federal Reserve might wind down its stimulus program. A mixed bag of Chinese data weighed on some Asia markets.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 51 points, or 0.3%, to 15017, while those for the Standard & Poor's 500 index eased 6.8 points, or 0.4%, to 1622.80. Futures for the Nasdaq 100 index fell 14.25 points, or 0.5%, to 2961.25.
The data week will be busy, with retail sales, consumer prices and a housing starts data all on the schedule. Economists expect April retail sales data to fall 0.6% on Monday, led by lower gasoline and auto sales, compared with a 0.4% fall in March. Retail sales data is due at 9:30 a.m. EDT. Business inventories data for March is due at 10 a.m. EDT.
There seemed to be little alarm among economists, though, ahead of retail sales data.
"Retail sales have been hit lately by what is likely to be a delayed effect of the tax rise on 1 January," said Morten Helt, senior analyst at Dankse Bank, in a note. "We only expect this to be a temporary and short slowdown, though as consumer fundamentals are strengthening as witnessed by decent payrolls and continued decline in initial jobless claims."
However, Ilya Spivak, currency strategist for Dailyfx.com, said a downside surprise on that retail sales data could weigh against any bets of the Fed tapering any stimulus efforts.
Markets are likely to put renewed focus on Fed direction Monday. An article in The Wall Street Journal after the market closed on Friday said Fed officials have mapped out a plan to exit that bond-buying program.
Citing those officials, the article said the Fed will cut its bond-buying program in careful and potentially halting steps, though the timing on when to start that is still a subject of debate. The Fed is keen to manage market expectations and prevent chaos.
"Is that really a surprise to the markets that the Fed has an exit strategy?" said Henrik Drusebjerg, senior strategist at Nordea Bank. He said when the Fed will implement strategy that remains the bigger issue. "I still think the Fed will be all-in as long as macro numbers are weak."
Speaking in Chicago on Friday, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the central bank was keeping a close watch on potential risks that come with such low interest rates.
Mr. Drusebjerg said decent economic data this week will keep pushing investors into "risky assets among equities," which will move markets higher. "It's absolutely possible you can see new records set again this week," he said.
U.S. stocks rose Friday, with Wall Street logging a third week of record-setting advances. After closing at an all-time high, the Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 7.03 points to 1633.70 and rose 1.2% on the week.
Japan stocks jumped to their highest level in more than five years, lifted by upbeat profits and further weakness for the yen after the Group of Seven major economies offered up no criticism of Tokyo's easing policies.
Stocks in Shanghai and Hong Kong finished lower after China economic data showed retail sales meeting expectations, though industrial production and fixed-asset investment missed forecasts.
Europe stocks were lower ahead of a Eurogroup meeting later on Monday. Mr. Drusebjerg said that markets expect officials could discuss a more flexible approach to austerity.
Gold and oil prices pressed lower, while the dollar remained higher against the yen.

Among the companies with shares expected to actively trade in Monday's session are Endo Health Solutions Inc. (ENDP).
Endo Health Solutions said Friday the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has denied its petition that would have halted generic competition to its Opana painkiller on safety grounds. The move will impact the company's earnings and llead it to explore options to mitigate the damage. Shares were off 16 cents to $34.81 in after-hours trading.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services lowered its outlook on Alpha Natural Resources Inc. (ANR) to negative from stable, saying continued weakness in coal markets will likely challenge the company's operating conditions.
S&P raised the credit rating on Delta Air Lines Inc. (DAL) by one step, citing the carrier's gradually improving financial profile.
S&P boosted its rating on Gap Inc. (GPS) by a notch into investment-grade territory, saying it expects the retailer to be able to sustain recent trends in same-store sales growth and margin expansion.
The U.S. distributor of injectable drugs made by Hospira Inc. (HSP) is recalling certain lots because of a risk of vein inflammation, kidney impairment and other serious harm to patients. Hospira has been troubled by a series of quality-control problems related to its manufacturing of injectable drugs and infusion technologies.

At this point we can not afford Branden Albert. We have 4 million in cap room and need 7 million for our draft. The options of who we draft are really dependent on the Albert trade, if no one wants to trade for him we have to cut someone else and we'll probably pick up Dion Jordan or Star, if we do get someone to trade for Albert then we draft Joeckel it's as simple as that, no one wants our first because we are dumb and gave up too much for Alex Smith for him not to be the starter and on top of that gave 3 million a year for an undrafted qb who has never started a game.
I personally think our current GM is going to be kicking himself after paying so much for a QB who many argue is the second coming of Matt Cassel, and getting rid of a very solid LT in Branden Albert for a second round pick. I'm not sure this is as dumb as trading Tony G for a second but still very dumb. Our O-line last year was a strength I kind of understand cutting Winston because of all the penalties but now your getting rid of your LT too, Come on Dorsey! I understand we were 2-14 last year but we also had one of the most dominant running games in the NFL and yes JC is a beast but he had a lot of help from his offensive line, who blocked their asses off for him.
As a Chiefs fan we all know what we needed to do, and he has done a lot of those things he replaced Dorsey with a cheaper guy, got a solid CB, got a solid TE (over paid him a lot but good pick up), I'm not even mad about picking up Alex Smith or Chase Daniels but not both of them,, we all wanted a reall QB someone that is gonna come in and kick ass not someone that's gonna manage the game while JC runs for 200+ we already had that.

Provided by South Plains College
Yanick Moreira and Stanton Kidd scored game highs of 20 points apiece and the NJCAA No. 1 ranked South Plains College Texans defeated New Mexico JC 89-73 Saturday afternoon in front of a spirited crowd at the Lubbock Christian University Rip Griffin Center. The Texans remain undefeated with a 31-0 record and now have a date with Howard College in the Region 5 championship game 2 p.m. Sunday, March 11.
The Texans began the game somewhat flat and found themselves trailing 17-10 eight minutes into the contest.
Marshall Henderson hit his first 3 on the next possession and South Plains began scratching back, tying the game at 22 when Greg Gainey completed a three-point play in the first possession following the second media timeout of the first half.
Following a successful 2-of-2 trip to the free throw line by Devonte Smith, Henderson stole the ball from T-Bird Desmond Lee and fed Gainey for a huge dunk that gave South Plains their first lead of the game with 4:58 remaining in the opening half.
Gainey was assessed a technical foul for hanging on the rim. New Mexico's Marvin Binney made both free throws to tie the game.
It would be the final time the Texans would not own the lead as they went on a 9-0 run that began with two free throws by Gainey followed by a deep 3 by Henderson that resulted in a four-point play after NMJC's Robert Turner was whistled for a foul. Deshaunt Walker capped the run with a 3-point goal of his own to give the Texans their largest lead of the half, 35-26.
New Mexico cut their deficit to four, but by the time the buzzer sounded South Plains owned an 8-point lead, 43-35.
Kidd and Moreira scored four-points each to help South Plains to a 12-point lead in the opening minutes of the second half of play. A 10-3 New Mexico run made it a five point game as the clock wound to the midway point of the final period.
Back-to-back buckets by Moreira would push the Texan advantage back to nine and Moreira would strike again with 6:02 to go in the game to give the Texans their biggest lead of the game of 13 points during an 8-2 Texan scoring run in which Moreira also recorded one of his game high four blocked shots.
SPC's next bucket put an end to eight consecutive T-Bird points that cut the Texan lead to only six with fewer than five minutes to go in regulation.
The T-Birds would get no closer as South Plains would dominate the remainder of the game, thanks in large part to making 13-of-14 free throw attempts down the stretch.
The 16 point margin of victory was the Texans largest of the game and came as Henderson was trying to run the clock out. New Mexico chose to continue defending aggressively so Henderson tossed an alley-oop to Kidd. New Mexico would turn the ball over on the next possession, this time allowing South Plains to run the clock out ending the game and giving the Texans their third victory over the T-Birds this season.
Moreira just missed a double-double, grabbing nine rebounds to go along with his 20 points and four blocks. Kidd had another efficient night shooting the ball making 8-of-10 shots. Henderson was hounded defensively the entire game, but still managed 17 points. Devonte Smith chipped in with 12 points and also dished out six assists.
The Texans shot 50-percent from the field, but the stat of the night might very well have been the 34-of-38 (.895) free throw attempts made. In comparison, New Mexico made only 17-of-27 (.630).
New Mexico out-rebounded the Texans by a 34-29 margin, including 16-9 on the offensive end. Texan head coach Steve Green said it was due to players being out of position and is something they will have to rectify before Sunday's championship game.
South Plains will now have to defeat a Howard College for a third time in order to advance to the NJCAA National tournament held Mach 20-24 in Hutchinson, Kan.
The Hawks rode an early 14 point advantage to defeat Odessa College 73-59 in the other semifinal game held at 12 p.m.
"I think it is a great opportunity to play a very good team that played (today) as well as anyone in the tournament," Steve Green said. "We are looking forward to the challenge but, believe me, it will be a heck of a challenge. This is a different Howard team than we played the last two times."
Sunday's Region 5 championship game can be seen live online at www.psblive.com with Bill Brownell calling the courtside action. KLVT 1230 AM will carry the game locally on the radio, and online at www.klvtradio.com.

Utah State is a staple of the NCAA Tournament as they have made seven appearances since the year 2000, and even though they have only one NCAA Tournament win this past decade they are a difficult out come March. This year, Utah State has breezed through the WAC by only losing one game with only three overall to make the 2011 NCAA bracket.
It is hard to tell how good Utah State is since they usually play a weak non-conference schedule to go along with their WAC schedule which is not the toughest. Having said that Utah State always has good guard play and has a great defense, on the year the Aggies have the third-best points allowed per game in the country at 58 per game. Head coach Stew Morrill is the best coach that Utah State has ever had and in 12 years Morrill has never had a losing season and 11 seasons with 20 wins or more.
Record: 28-3
Key win: Feb. 19 at St. Marys, 75-65; St. Mary's was ranked 23rd in the nation at the time. Without this win Utah's State best win would have been against Long Beach State who has an RPI of 91. The Aggies did show resilience in this game as they trailed by nine at the half to eventually win by 10 points. Utah State was led by senior Tai Wesley who scored 17 of his 22 points in the second half to lead Utah State past St. Mary's.
Key loss: Feb. 9 at Idaho, 64-56. The loss to Idaho ended Utah State's record-setting 25-game WAC winning streak, but it was worse because Idaho an RPI of 130. Idaho was able to shut down the Utah State offense by holding Tai Wesley to only 11 points, and the rest of Utah State to only 33 percent shooting from the field. With only two wins against the RPI top-100 this loss to Idaho could possibly hurt Utah State's NCAA tournament at-large chances if they do not when the WAC.
Player to watch: Senior forward Tai Wesley leads the Aggies in scoring and rebounding while shooting at 59 percent per game. Welsey has the ability to take over games with his scoring, plus his defense is underrated for a forward as he averages just over one steal and one block per game. Wesley is a player that has the ability to step up his scoring in big games. This year he scored 20 points in games against the upper half of the WAC, BYU and Saint Mary's.

Undrafted free agent Mike Higgins, a tight end out of University of Nebraska-Omaha, has negotiated a contract with the Saints. This one fell through the cracks, so I apologize for missing it. The news came last night via nola.com
11:18 p.m.
The Saints will sign a tight end from UNO! I didn't even know they had full-fledged football yet. Wait, that's Mike Higgins from the University of Nebraska-Omaha.
Higgins is the first tight end the Saints have signed/negotiated with so far this off-season. Which is good since the Saints may be in need of at least one tight end. I was able to find some information related to Mr. Higgins, which can be found after the jump.From Omaha.com:
The secret has long since been out regarding UNO tight end Mike Higgins.
The All-MIAA selection earned All-America honors and NFL interest last season with his combination of size and speed.
With Greg Wunderlich departed and the decision on a new starting quarterback coming later in fall camp, Higgins will be a primary target of opposing defenses, and it could be hard to match last year's totals of 50 receptions for 848 yards and nine touchdowns.
Some draft information on him at NFL Draft Scout.

With only one vote seperating the two, CJ Riefenhauser and Robinson Chirinos are going to a runoff.
C.J. Riefenhauser (LHP): A 20th round pick in the 2010 draft, CJ had excellent numbers in a little over 100 innings at Bowling Green. However, reports indicate that he lacks an above-average pitch. (http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=riefen001cha)
Robinson Chirinos (C): Another catcher, Chirinos was nabbed in the Garza trade. Althletic for a catcher, Chirinos has shown eveything to be a good catcher, except a quick release. If he can get his throwing down, it is hard to see him not playing at the MLB level, even if as a reserve. (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/chiriro01.shtml)

Rotary Club of Coulsdon Join in All the Fun of the Fair
4:53pm Saturday 3rd July 2010 in Your News
The Rotary club of Coulsdon took up their annual spot at this year's Old Coulsdon Village Fair, held at the Old Coulsdon Recreation Ground last Saturday, 3rd July.
This year the club returned to two of it favourite stall ideas, 'Roll-a-Penny' and 'Guess the number of sweets in a jar'.
The beautiful weather brought out large numbers of visitors to the fair and the members from Coulsdon Rotary club were kept busy at their pitch all afternoon.
Brian French, organiser of the stalls, said that "Although it has been a long and hot day, it has been a very worthwhile exercise for us and I feel confident that when everything is added up, we will have beaten last year's record and topped over £100 for our charity fund."
Coulsdon Rotary Club meets at Chipstead Golf Club every Monday for lunch and would welcome new members.

KILLEEN - Gunshots fired outside the Junction 45 nightclub this weekend were not the first at the location. Previous violent incidents occurred under the watch of different owners and different club names. The latest event has caused a nearby resident to ask the city to take action.
The resident who wrote to city council members wanted to remain anonymous saying, "I don't understand the mentality that, you know, to behave that way to make them think they have to carry a gun to a club."
The lot, at the corner of East Veterans Memorial Blvd. and Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., has been home to several shootings over the years and even a fire, which caused the building to be renovated.
Councilman Larry Cole answered her message. He told News Channel 25, "I personally am not interested in shutting it down. I just want the current management to provide adequate security and safety not only for the club, but for the surrounding area."
The resident said, "Councilman Cole responded that they ought to get with the club owners and see what they could do. So I thought, fair enough. But if nothing's done, then they need to leave."
But a club manager, Mark Norman, said that this is the first time any shooting has happened since they opened less than a year ago as Junction 45. Norman said that they have 10 armed officers outside and 15 floormen inside every night.
In response to people who may write the city with their concerns, Norman said, "People are going to do what they're going to do. We're trying to provide a service for everybody in the community, and we're trying the best that we can do with security."
Norman also said, "The history of this good old property is just bad, bad, bad is what they think. So it doesn't matter if we, you know, put a McDonald's there. They're going to say this building or this property is bad or tainted."
He said they're running a good, safe establishment and that the shooting this weekend did not even happen on club property.
Still, Councilman Larry Cole wrote to the city manager and police chief, asking for more stringent requirements on the club.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The owner of a San Fernando Valley jewelry store has reached a plea agreement for his role in an insider-trading case involving a former senior partner at accounting firm KPMG.
Prosecutors allege that accountant Scott London provided jeweler Bryan Shaw, a long-time friend and golf partner, with insider information about KPMG clients including Herbalife Ltd., Skechers USA Inc., Uggs maker Deckers Outdoor Corp.
The government alleges that Shaw made over $1 million in illicit profits by trading in advance of company announcements on earnings results or mergers. In exchange, Shaw is alleged to have given London bags filled with cash, along with a Rolex watch and jewelry for his wife, among other items.
The Department of Justice said Shaw was charged Monday with one count of conspiracy for his role in the scheme. As part of the deal, Shaw agreed to plead guilty to the felony offense and admitted that he plotted with London to commit securities fraud. He will also forfeit nearly $1.3 million in illegal stock-trading profits.
Shaw, 52, is expected to make his initial appearance later this week in U.S. District Court.
London, 50, was fired from KPMG and charged last month for his role in the scheme that took place from 2010 to 2012. He is scheduled to be arraigned on May 17.

Treat dispensers: Obama and the Easter Bunny
The Eastery Bunny and President Obama have a lot in common. Both are dressed up characters with a mythology to sell. One plays a creature with magical powers who hops all over the world to deliver sweet treats, free of charge, to everyone who believes in him. The other is a low-wage dude in a rabbit costume.
President Obama thrives on his own myth: that the United States suffers from a shortage of goodies dispensed personally by him. He promises to rectify that by borrowing trillions of dollars to finance his egg-dispensing. Infrastructure funding here, college subsidies there, scientific research over there, with loads of new regulations to fertilize the seeds, and soon, like tulips in spring - bing! - the economy will shoot back to life.
He's put that magical thinking into practice for five years. It has not worked. And yet people still believe him, just as children believe in the Easter Bunny. Eventually, though, children grow up. What's the Obama voter's excuse?

He's too slow to be noob friendly in my opinion, his attacks may be powerful but they have to connect first. Anyway, Marth is way better than him imo.
He's too slow to be noob friendly in my opinion, his attacks may be powerful but they have to connect first. Anyway, Marth is way better than him imo.
Ike is awesome although he has super slow and predictable moves he has so much incredible power one smash and they're outta here!
I used to only use ike but i was constantly called a noob 4 some reason so i use others but its impossible 4 me to get better with them than with ike he's just so awesome.
Besides he's up b move is actually rubish and only a real nooob would spam it because they'de get they're ass kicked.
against quite a few guys online i ca own with ike even when doing 1v1's which are his weakness and against real fast guys like meta knight and pikachu and heavy guys are a treat.
He is not nooby unless used by a noob and is rather noob friendly exept for recoveries which are hard to master.
Brawl code: 0473-9415-5397 - Zapp
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Touch me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When asked what i would do if i was facing an opponent many times faster, stronger and infinitely more experienced. I replied "i would kick his ass for being a liar"
lol, thread revival
ike is considered noobish because of spammers and his super-strength. yet snake and meta have many spammers and both are really strong yet they aren't "noobish".
the whole noob question around ike is completely biased from people that always lose against him
It's probably more along the lines of so many people use Ike, so it's like the kid who wears a baseball cap because all his friends told him to. He's just too popular.
Mains: Bowser, Donkey Kong
Subs: Wario, Dedede, Ganondorf
It's because people just use him to get quick KOs. I should know since I use him in online mode to do the same. Plus, his Final Smash is awesome.
King of Pop
Michael J. Jackson
Rest in peace, dear king.
Ike is considered a noob character because his attacks are no too slow and they deal massive damage. You can tell when they're noobs because they spam up b. I consider pikachu a major noob character because all you have to do is spam the down b and get smash balls. So dang annoyin!!!
you could make the argument that every character is a noob character. It just depends on how you use them.
Thread revival... >.>;
Ike is the perfect candidate for a "n00b character" because of all his attacks has such huge knockback, it's easy for them to rack up damage. This doesn't make him cheap, just very easy to use. If a n00b is spamming his smash attacks, you're bound to get hit eventually, right?
he is pretty dang easy to use plus since everyone and their grandma uses him, either ur a noob or u have used him for a while....the Vets used him first then the noobs, but again, he is way too easy to master and since he is so easy, noobs use an easy character, he has basic attacks and his final smash looks tight and its powerful, but there are a lot of final smashes that are a lot more powerful than his.

Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) - The personal stories of people who say they were racially profiled in Sheriff Joe Arpaio's immigration sweeps took center stage at a trial aimed at settling allegations over whether the lawman's trademark patrols disproportionately single out Latinos.
One witnesses tearfully described feeling "humiliated, worthless, defenseless," saying the emotions were the result of being pulled over without justification and treated disrespectfully by Maricopa County sheriff's deputies.
Arpaio has repeatedly denied charges of racial profiling within his department and says his deputies only make stops when they think a crime has been committed.
The group of Latinos who filed the lawsuit against Arpaio and his office say that officers based some traffic stops on the race. They say they were pulled over only so deputies could inquire about their immigration status.
