These songs embody the spirit of the 2000s. Like the theme music to a good movie, they underscore a unique decade in hip-hop. Ladies and Gentlemen, grab your iPods, rev up your DeLorean. It's time to take a trip down memory lane and explore the best rap songs of the 2000s.
100. T.I. & Jay-Z - "Swagga Like Us" (Feat. Kanye West & Lil Wayne)
Kanye's braggart rhymes, Jay-Z's strong presence, Lil Wayne's unique delivery, and T.I.'s multi-syllabic flow make this a quadruple whammy of star power. T.I.'s star-stuffed single instantly became an inescapable radio hit, club banger, and summer staple in 2008. To crown it all, a heavily pregnant M.I.A. joined the boys onstage for a Grammy performance on her due date. Top that.
99. Soul Position - "The Cool Thing to Do"
Like your big brother giving you the "do good, live right" spiel before going away to college. But with a Rembrandt hanging behind him the whole time.
98. N.E.R.D. - "Everyone Nose"
This hilarious paean to booger sugar had all the girls (and some fellas) fiendin' for N.E.R.D goodness.
97. Shyne - "Bad Boyz"
You couldn't go anywhere in 2000 without hearing Barrington Levy's voice, followed by Shyne's gritty flow. Dude was practically on top of the world until a lousy club shooting sent him to jail and deflated his career.
96. Atmosphere - "Yesterday"
"Yesterday," a standout cut from Atmosphere's When Life Gives You Lemons, finds Slug reminiscing about his father's days on earth.
95. Emanon - "The Words"
Exile serves up the poignant production on this moment of uplift from 2005's The Waiting Room.
94. Young Buck - "Driving Down the Freeway"
Backed by Hi-Tek's ominously slamming beat and Dion's inspiring chorus, Young Buck and Outlawz invent a new genre: hardcorerapsoulnica. Check Buck Marley's comical rhymes from Buck Marley: "See when the sunshine come out, the Lamborghini somehow had the haters mad, looking at me with they tongue out."
93. Danger Mouse & Jemini - "Don't Do Drugs"
The 2000s saw conscious rap crumble under the burden of sanctimonious sentiment. Jemini avoids that criticism by sarcastically urging kids to do drugs on a song titled "Don't Do Drugs," while Danger Mouse keeps the beat bubbly.
92. Erick Sermon (ft. Marvin Gaye) - "Music"
"To relax my mind so I can be free" are the first words on Erick Sermon's "Music." Isn't that what comes to mind when we hear the words "music" and "Marvin"? Erick holds his own, but Mr. Gaye puts on a hell of a performance from the other side.
91. Nas (ft. Jay-Z) - "Black Republican"
The reconciliation was just as historic as the battle. Rather than contrive a common ground, both men embraced their differences and left us with an event record. It was more than anyone had bargained for.

I found your blog over on blog catalog. These two pictures really say it quicker than writing the words out. I'm guessing (checked the about page) that the top one is describing aircraft moves.
Thank your husband for his service. I was in the Air Force for 10yrs but non-flight roles. Oh, one more question if I may – has he landed on an aircraft carrier yet? The first time must be a combo of thrill and panic.
I love this!!!!

continued In addition, floral arrangements designed by Valerie Heath, Athenaeum case manager, chairs were borrowed from Grace Chapel Church and music borrowed from the Skaneateles Library.
High school senior Katarina Kulik was the photographer.
On Aug. 20, all the residents of the Athenaeum – some with their family members – attended the wedding; and the bride and groom invited their own family and friends who otherwise would not have seen them get married.
At 11 a.m., Cioffa descended the mahogany stairs of the grand hallway and, to the sounds of Pachelbel's Canon, walked into the formal parlor, where Skaneateles Justice of the Peace Kathleen Dell performed the marriage ceremony.
Everyone then moved to the sun room for the brunch and cake.
"They did such a great job. We were both amazed — it was beautiful," Cioffa said. "They went through so much trouble, we just can't thank them enough."
"There were a lot of smiles going around that morning," Scarr said.
After the wedding, Cioffa and Miles did not take a honeymoon, although that may come later. Instead, they both returned to work to save money for the next big event: Cioffa is seven months pregnant. The baby is due in November.

Following on the success of two other dormant series Chemmy and I have decided that in order to fill the gap in NHL news that we'll take a look at each of the current Leafs, possible Leafs on the Marlies, janitors, marketing interns and prospects. We'll recap their performance last year, what we can expect from them, and how they can win our hearts (hint: signing the contract was a good first step...unless your name is Bryan McCabe Ian White). We have no idea how long of a series this will end up being or how consistent it will be but with two of us expect it to only be half as half-assed and twice as timely.
Babelfish tells me that this video is of Boumedienne "am tackled" by Granstrom. The other option was a fight where he lost. Go Marlies!
Contract Status (according to NHL Numbers)
$475K, $475K cap hit, UFA July 1, 2009.
Age (as of October 1, 2008)
30 - January 12th, 1978
NHL Seasons
Parts of three for 47 games of call-up experience.
Run of the Mill Biographical Information
Former Leaf he'd have to play like in order to be christened a deity
This guy came completely out of left field and probably won't play a game in the NHL so we can probably ignore this question
Biggest Question Marks
Will he have a good impression on the Marlies' defencemen?
Player Summary
This post covers most of background on Boumedienne. Japers Rink has the background on Boumedienne's time with Wash...err...Hershey.
Projected 2008-2009 role/team
This guy is definitely a signing to flesh out the numbers on the Marlies. He'll have a big part to play in mentoring the defence not to mention ensuring that Pogge isn't fed to the wolves (Chicago or otherwise). He's shown that he can get the business done at that level and it is likely his ceiling as a player.
Having said that, if he is wearing a Maple Leaf then something has gone horrifically wrong. Or maybe spectacularly right (Van Ryn and White moved for assets). Either way, his presence would be a harbinger of something.


text: I only heard the songs, "the way you like it," and "giving in" when I decided to buy Adema's album. Actually, I didn't realize that "giving in" was done by them until I got the CD, which was a very nice surprise. I really didn't know much about the band and I really hadn't heard anything else about them. Never read magazine articles on them, never saw them on MTV, and rarely even heard them on the radio. So why, you might be asking, did I buy the album when I only heard two songs (or really one song) by them? I like to be surprised. I like to pick up CDs by bands I've never heard if it looks interesting enough. I really had no idea what the reaction would be as soon as I popped this CD into my stereo. Well, it has to be said; I LOVE EVERY SINGLE THING ABOUT THIS ALBUM!The lead singer has an awesome voice that can be soft or yelling and screaming at times. There is some excellent guitar playing that will get stuck inside your head no matter how hard you try to get it out. The drumming is intense and ties all of the songs together magnificently.What I was most impressed by the group was their lyrical ability. If you listen to the actual words in the songs, they are so deep and very well constructed. Sure some verses may not rhyme exactly, but that isn't the point. It's very rare to find a music group that can put the exact right words into a song. I think most of the songs were written lyrically by the lead singer, as it usually is in most cases. All I can say is the guy has talent. He is able to drive out every single emotion inside your body.The big thing about these guys is that the lead singer is related to Korn's Jonathan Davis. So what? I mean, that's interesting and all, but what does that have to do with these guys. And the people who call them Korn…and so on really agitate me, because they have no friggen clue of what these guys are about. Hey, I love Korn, but I'll go on the record and say that these guys are ten times better than Korn when it comes to song writing. Well, that's how I feel, and it had to be said.I really can't list my favorite songs, because I LOVE EVERY SINGLE SONG ON THAT ALBUM. There is no bad song on the whole CD, which is extremely rare. But I think my absolute favorite song is "trust." I love the music and the lyrics. I mean; "I'm so alone / empty and lost / it's easier to let you go / time will erode / the shame and the fault / it's easier to let you go," it doesn't get any deeper than that! A word of warning, the songs tend to get very depressing, so you may not want to listen to the CD if you're feeling a little down in the dumps. Then again, maybe it'll make you feel better. Don't know, just thought I would warn you.How would you classify these guys? I wouldn't put them in heavy metal, and I sure as hell wouldn't consider them alternative. So what are they? Good question. I think they're a little in between; not too heavy, yet not too soft. A little like Papa Roach, except there's a lot more singing from the lead singer. Some songs are heavier than others. If you want to hear a good band with some outstanding lyrics, very much like the kind that can only come out of Trent Reznor or Aaron Lewis, then pick up this CD today. You will not regret it at all. I bought this CD a couple of months ago, and I can't stop listening to it. Let's hope radio stations like Q101 doesn't destroy them by overplaying their songs. Same goes for MTV. This is a great band that speaks for itself and really only needs one listening to realize how good this CD is.

Nick Jonas and Christie Brinkley Among Honorees at Inside Broadway's 2012 Broadway Beacon Awards
By Michael Gioia
Inside Broadway's 2012 Broadway Beacon Awards will be held June 4 at the Hudson Theatre in the Millennium Broadway Hotel. How to Succeed's Nick Jonas and Chicago's Christie Brinkley will be among the honorees.
The evening, which is scheduled to begin with cocktails at 6 PM, will be hosted by FOX 5 reporter Julie Chang. The awards ceremony will follow at 7:30 PM.
Also honored at the event will be Local One I.A.T.S.E. president James J. Claffey, Jr. and the Millennium Broadway Hotel for their longstanding contributions to Times Square and the Broadway community.
"I am thrilled to be honoring such a hardworking, talented and committed group from the entertainment and business communities," said Inside Broadway executive director Michael Presser in a statement. "Inside Broadway's aim is to pass down the rich legacy of musical theatre to future generations so that the magic, music and universal themes of the genre are not lost but rediscovered and made relevant for today's youth and our honorees this year have each without a doubt greatly contributed to that cause."
The annual Broadway Beacon Awards support Inside Broadway's mission of bringing theatre to New York City's under-served public school students. Inside Broadway, currently celebrating its 30th anniversary, reaches over 30,000 New York City students each year. The company develops and produces touring equity musical productions as well as a wide range of educational programs that allow participants to interact with professionals in the field and experience theatre hands-on in the classroom.
Jonas, who currently stars as J. Pierrepont Finch in the Broadway revival of How to Succeed, has also been seen on Broadway in Annie Get Your Gun, Beauty and the Beast and Les Miserables. For more on Jonas' theatrical history, visit the Playbill Vault.
Brinkley made her acting debut in 1983 opposite Chevy Chase in the feature film "National Lampoon's Vacation." She also appeared on NBC's "Mad About You" and hosted Lifetime Television's "InStyle Celebrity Weddings." Visit Brinkley's page at the Playbill Vault.
The Millennium Broadway Hotel is located at 145 West 44th Street. For more information, visit InsideBroadway.org.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
For those in Wood County reviewing restaurant inspection reports could soon be as easy as logging online!
The Wood County Health Department is in a testing phase posting restaurant inspection reports online and the portal could soon be available to everyone.
Take Poco Piatti for example on Chapel Drive in Perrysburg. Inspectors found three repeat violations. You can read the report in its entirety to see inspectors commenting on the facility's damaged flooring and lack of smooth and easily cleanable walls and ceilings.
At KFC and Long John Silver's on North Main Street in Bowling Green inspectors followed up on a complaint. The complaint alleged employees were not washing their hands nor wearing gloves. However, the complaint could not be verified and was dismissed.
However, inspectors did find a great deal of buildup of dirt, dust and debris on the facility's walls, ceiling and prep line.
If you're leaning toward Italian tonight, Biaggi's restaurant at Levis Commons in Perrysburg welcomes you to its clean and safe restaurant. No violations were noted during this month's walk through.
Also in Perrysburg along Oregon Road, Pizza Hut received no violations.
Folks at Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers on Main Street in Bowling Green worked to fix a cooler holding food at improper temperatures. It's now in good standing with the health department.
At another burger place in Bowling Green, CJ's on North Main Street had no violations.

The parents of a Nashville high school student, who was shot and killed allegedly at the hands of a classmate, said they never expected their son to go to a friend's house and never come home.
Kevin Barbee, 15, died Tuesday night, and his friend, 17-year-old Kaemon Robinson, now faces homicide charges.
Robinson had his first court hearing on Friday afternoon.
Kevin was a normal teen who shared a special bond with his father, his parents said.
"I would always tell Kevin, 'You have to be aware of your surroundings at all times.' And he would just remind me every now and then, 'Dad, I'm listening,'" said father Kedrin Barbee.
Kevin loved to cook and wanted to attend culinary school one day. It's one of many dreams that now won't be fulfilled after he was killed while a group of teens were apparently playing with a gun at a Hermitage apartment.
"My life will never be the same," said Kevin's mother, Alicia Mahdi.
His family is trying to come to terms with a reality no parents want to face.
"I don't want nobody worried about their son when they go over their friend's house, their son might not come back," Mahdi said.
Kevin's death came just two days before President Barack Obama was to visit McGavock High School, where Kevin was a sophomore.
The president met with Mahdi before his speech in the school's gym. It was a meeting that's almost vague in her memory.
"Meeting him was overwhelming, but what I could take away from meeting him is that it was very sincere and it just warmed my heart that he took his time out of his schedule," Mahdi said.
The mother said she wants other teens to know that dying young is nothing to take lightly.
"These kids are playing with guns and posting pictures on Facebook like it's fun, and it's not," she said.
Kevin's mother hopes her message will keep this tragedy from happening again.
"This is not glamorous. Dying when you're a teenager is not part of your life goal. This is not what it's about," Mahdi said. "I have to speak out. I have to save your son. I have to save these kids. It's going to get worse if we don't stand up."
Kevin Barbee's funeral service is set for Tuesday, Feb. 4, at 11 a.m. at The River Church on Stewarts Ferry Pike.
A viewing will be held Monday at Revelation Funeral Home Chapel from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., and again Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the church.
A memorial fund has been established at The River Church. For information on how to contribute to the Kevin Barbee Memorial Fund, visit: http://www.therivernashville.com/kevin-barbee-memorial-fund/.

Eight year-old Basildon girl is inspirational charity campaigner
2:00pm Tuesday 23rd October 2012 in News By Chloe Chapman
Katie Davies, eight, has launched her own charity campaign after watching her aunt Eileen Hobson, 61, turn her life around with the help of assistance dog Sailor
AN EIGHT year-old has launched her own charity campaign after watching her aunt turn her life around with the help of an assistance dog.
Katie Davies, of The Fremnells, Basildon, spent weeks preparing a video to encourage her classmates to donate postage stamps, old mobile phones and used ink cartridges to be recycled and raise money for Canine Partners.
Her hard work was so inspirational that the charity are hoping to use it as an example of how more children can get involved with fundraising.
Aunt Eileen Hobson, 61, spent 20 years in hospital in London after being diagnosed with the rare Stiff-Man's Syndrome- a neurological condition which causes severe progressive muscle stiffness.
When she was finally allowed home former Army warrant officer Eileen required 24 hour care and found it hard to cope with the lack of independence.
That all changed when Canine Partners stepped in seven years ago to give her Golden Retriever Sailor.
Katie, a member of South Essex Gymnastics Club, said: "Sailor helps Auntie Eileen with lots of things from getting dressed and undressed, opening doors, picking things up, paying for shopping and even doing the washing. Without Sailor things would be so hard for her. He is really amazing!"
The youngster has already held a special assembly for her fellow pupils at Fairhouse Junior School, Basildon, and now hopes to take her campaign across the country by teaming up with Canine Partners.
Proud mum Bev Davies said: "Eileen has got her life back, Sailor really has saved her.
"Katie has grown up with Sailor. I remember when she was just a toddler and we went to visit them in London Katie kept dropping pieces of her puzzle and every time Sailor would pick them up straight away and pass them to Eileen, because that's what he's trained to do. It took her forever to finish it!
"She's absolutely delighted with the response from the charity. Katie is normally really shy but she's so excited to help out with this campaign."

I took my sister and her three children skiing in Vermont this past weekend. My sister visited two new states along the way: Vermont and New Hampshire. You see, we've had a contest since we were teenagers (OK - technically, since I was 17 and she was 21) to see who could visit all 50 states first. I've been sitting with just four states left to visit for the past five or six years.
visited 46 states (92%)
Create your own visited map of The United States
- Alaska
- Hawaii
- Idaho
- Montana
I had plans for Hawaii a few years ago when a friend was planning on a destination wedding - but that changed when they moved the destination from Hawaii to New York. I've been trying to get the entire Pacific Northwest - but when I got Washington and Oregon (on a few separate trips) - the weather was not conducive (e.g. safe) to drive from Portland or Seattle to Idaho and Montana. Drat! I guess that I will visit Idaho and Montana next, followed by Hawaii and save Alaska for last.
I have personally taken my sister with me on a few trips to help her get new states and countries, too. What was I thinking???

Mark your calendars, the AMGA Annual Meeting is headed to Red Rock, Nevada, October 17-24. You can find all the details (as we update them) HERE.
All posts for the month October, 2011
**************Comments DUE Thursday, 10/27********************
We are deeply concerned about the current threat to guiding access in our country's National Park System. The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park wants to completely ban guided climbing, which has a 50-year history in this unique climbing venue. This proposed ban does not only impact this incredible park in Colorado. This is a national threat, which could set a debilitating precedent for guided climbing in National Parks across the country. If you care about preserving wilderness guided climbing access in venues such as Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Rocky Mountain National Park, New River Gorge and other important guiding venues, please read on.
The Black Canyon Backcountry Management Plan wants to ban guiding because "guided climbing does not support the goal for the inner canyon zone of providing a visitor experience that is challenging, self-reliant, and adventurous." The NPS is making an uncanny argument for why guided climbing is no longer necessary in the Park. Your clients, friends and fellow climbers (who are not guides) need to submit comments to the Park. We have been told that the Park has already heard from guides, and what they really need are comments from the general public and clients.
What can you do now?
1. Email your client list, friends and fellow climbers today urging them to submit a comment by Oct. 27th. Use Facebook, your website, blog and any other communication vehicles to get the word out to your clients.
2. See below for a sample email to your clients, friends and fellow climbers.
It's in all of our interests to raise awareness and take action on this important issue today. The deadline for comments is Thursday, October 27th. Thank you for supporting the future of the profession in the U.S.
For more information, visit http://parkplanning.nps.gov
The National Park Service wants to ban guided climbing and prohibit members of the public from being able to climb with a professional guide in one of our country's most adventurous wilderness climbing areas. This is a national threat, which could set a debilitating precedent for guided climbing access in National Parks across the country. We are requesting your urgent support to help preserve guided climbing access in the Black Canyon as well as in other National Parks the U.S.
Here is how you can help:
Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com today using the talking points below. Our goal is to have 500 people (who are not guides) contact Ken Stahlnecker opposing the Park's plan to ban guided climbing in the Black Canyon and urging the Park to preserve guiding climbing access in this unique venue.
Dear Ken Stahlnecker,
Chief, Resource Stewardship and Science
National Park Service,
Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
I am writing to urge you to keep guided climbing access available to the American public. Along with Yosemite National Park and Red Rocks National Conservation Area, the Black Canyon is one of only a few climbing venues in the country offering big wall climbing opportunities. There is often a scarcity of willing and adequate climbing partners to tackle the bold and remote terrain of the Black. Because climbing requires a team of two unless one is free soloing, my options for experiencing this unique wilderness area will be substantially reduced or eliminated altogether if guided climbing is banned in the Inner Canyon Zone.
Having the option to climb with a professional guide is necessary for me to be able to experience the vertical wilderness in the Black Canyon. Partnering with a professional guide will enhance my opportunity for an experience of adventure, challenge and self-reliance. I see no difference between climbing with a professional guide and climbing with a non-guide partner who happens to be stronger or more experienced than me. It is not uncommon for climbing partners to be of varying levels of experience. Climbing successfully in the Black always requires the self-reliance, commitment and personal fortitude of both climbing partners regardless of their varying experience levels.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide my opinion on this important matter.
The 2011 Annual Meeting is less than 2-weeks away and for those of you who would prefer to camp, we've arranged group camping for $10 per person/per night at the Creeks View Campground in Rosendale (~7 miles north of New Paltz).

American Mountain Guides Association Appoints Dale Remsberg as Technical Director
For Immediate Release
Betsy Winter
Executive Director
American Mountain Guides Association
Boulder, Colorado, Oct 06, 2011 –
The AMGA is excited to introduce Dale Remsberg as the new Technical Director (TD) of the association. The TD is an incredibly important position within the AMGA who serves as the critical link between the technical and administrative branches of the AMGA and assists with the development and execution of the vision and strategic plan for all AMGA programs.
Dale comes to the TD position having been an integral part of the AMGA instructor team for the past five years. The last two years working as the Discipline Coordinator for the Alpine program where he successfully facilitated the implementation of the Ice Instructor Course.
Dale was raised in the North Cascade Mountains in the small mountain town of Winthrop, Washington. He started skiing at age 8 at the Loop Loop ski bowl and his attitude towards the mountains was quickly shaped with an affinity for adventure and exploration. His first climbing experience was a scramble with a high school buddy of Blue Peak in the Washington Pass group, which gave him a glimpse of climbers and their ability to climb the harder terrain. Shortly thereafter a solo of South Early Winter Spire resulted in a respect for that steeper terrain and a trip to the book store to buy all the how to books and guides. Dale started guiding for Cascade Alpine Guides in 1994 and then later for Mountain Madness roaming around the Cascades teaching mountaineering and rock climbing. In 2002 he and his wife Kristie moved to Colorado and in the spring of 2003 he took his first AMGA course. AMGA Rock, Alpine and Ski Mountaineering certification quickly became the goal and was realized in 2006. Dale brings well-rounded climbing and guiding experience to the AMGA having guided difficult rock climbs, remote and elusive ice and mixed terrain in Canada as well as climbing and ski expeditions around the world. From 2003 to 2011 he worked at the Colorado Mountain School where he provided leadership as Head Guide for the last two years. Private guiding is now his focus. He runs a month long ice climbing trip to Canada every winter and custom rock, alpine and ski trips wherever the conditions are good. When not climbing or guiding you may find him training his Australian Shepherd or trying to break par on the links.
"It is with great pleasure that I introduce Dale Remsberg as the new Technical Director of the AMGA" says Betsy Winter, Executive Director. "Dale comes to us with a wealth of experience and expertise in the areas most relevant to the needs of the Technical Director position. His experience as AMGA Alpine Discipline Coordinator, AMGA Instructor Team member and AMGA Board Member will be extremely valuable as he works to oversee and lead the technical branch of the AMGA."

It is time for football gentlemen. Just some updates I'll pass along:
Peyton Hillis is out today.
Miles Austin is out and dez probably won't play for tomorrow night's game. Though it looks like Romo and Felix are going to play.
And really, it just comes down to smack. So I'll get things rolling:
Zora- if you think you can start the Broncos 2nd receiver and those weak sause RBs and beat me, you've lost your damn mind.
Ryan- Espin predicts 23 points for Chris Johnson. I predict he'll be ass, and you will lose.
trippinandy- You are putting your team's fortunes into the hands of Early Ducet? Wow... EASIEST WIN OF THE YEAR FOR ME!!!
So have fun with it. don't try to do too much with it. And just remember, no matter what happens today, THE BREWERS ARE STILL NL CENTRAL CHAMPIONS!!! YEAH BABY!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy the games guys.

The long-in-development remake of the Broadway musical, which will star Quvenzhané Wallis, is produced by Will Smith and his Overbrook Entertainment partners, Jada Pinkett Smith, and James Lassiter
, while Jay-Z (also a producer) will score the film.
Coincidentally or not, Jay-Z is going on tour with Justin Timberlake this summer.
Now I'm not an expert on the Annie story, but isn't Daddy Warbucks supposed to be an older gentleman? Someone in his 50s, who also happens to be filthy rich, and is usually bald? Timberlake certainly has the "filthy rich" part down, and I guess he could always shave his head for the role, but he's definitely nowhere near 50 years old, nor does he look like he could be.
Of course, the film's producers might be taking some creative liberties with the story, and aren't married to the source material. So the casting of Timberlake could be one of those creative choices.
We'll find out eventually if he is cast in the film.
In past film adaptations of Annie, Warbucks has been played by the likes of Albert Finney and Victor Garber, who both were in their late 40s/early 50s when they played the role, and also shaved their heads for it.
Sony Pictures has set an official release date for Annie, for December 25, 2014.
Alex | March 19, 2013 4:59 PM
OMG. look at the source guys, it's Page Six. Sony denied it. JT's new album is out today, he has to do a stadium tour, arena tour, international tour, promote a movie called Runner Runner in September with Ben Affleck and a movie called Inside Llewyn Davis, oh, a SECOND album in November, 20/20 Vol.2 which he still has to record. There's no way this is true. Please, don't spread fake rumours.
Nadell | March 19, 2013 2:29 PM
How is he getting soo many roles as of late?
Jason | March 19, 2013 2:27 PM
Timberlake sucks as an actor
blaqbird | March 19, 2013 2:25 PM
If this happens, I SWEATER GAWD!!!!
Ashley | March 19, 2013 2:22 PM
Personally, I wish they went older. Liam Neeson would be great (he doesn't need to shave his head). I really like the character he played in A-Team. He brought some of the playfulness in that movie. He is so talented and I really think he could be perfect teacher for her acting wise.
sosgemini | March 19, 2013 2:12 PM
So when the film flops, he won't take any responsibility and put all the blame on Ms. Quvenzhane Wallis, ehh?
Yes, I'm still pissed at him for punking out on Janet.
Kai | March 19, 2013 2:10 PM
Oh god, please don't let this be true.
Why can't will do it himself? He would be far better and much more authentic

The Pioneer Panthers were certainly in a bind at halftime in their sectional semifinal game at Carroll Friday night.
The solution: Give the ball to Joey Miller and give it to him often.
Miller exploded for 187 yards rushing and five touchdowns on 21 carries in the second half to lift the Panthers to a 35-21 win over the Cougars. Class A No. 4-ranked Pioneer (10-1) will travel to No. 1-ranked Lafayette Central Catholic next week for the sectional championship game.
Carroll (6-5), which had a five-game winning streak snapped, led 14-0 at halftime after an outstanding first half of play. But the Panthers regrouped at halftime and were much sharper in the second half.
Pick up Sunday's paper for complete coverage of the game.

git-diff-index - Compare a tree to the working tree or index
'git diff-index' [-m] [--cached] [<common diff options>] <tree-ish> [<path>...]
Compares the content and mode of the blobs found in a tree object with the corresponding tracked files in the working tree, or with the corresponding paths in the index. When <path> arguments are present, compares only paths matching those patterns. Otherwise all tracked files are compared.
- <tree-ish>
The id of a tree object to diff against.
- --cached
do not consider the on-disk file at all
- -m
By default, files recorded in the index but not checked out are reported as deleted. This flag makes git diff-index say that all non-checked-out files are up to date.
Operating Modes
You can choose whether you want to trust the index file entirely (using the --cached flag) or ask the diff logic to show any files that don't match the stat state as being "tentatively changed". Both of these operations are very useful indeed.
Cached Mode
If --cached is specified, it allows you to ask:
show me the differences between HEAD and the current index contents (the ones I'd write using 'git write-tree')
For example, let's say that you have worked on your working directory, updated some files in the index and are ready to commit. You want to see exactly what you are going to commit, without having to write a new tree object and compare it that way, and to do that, you just do
git diff-index --cached HEAD
Example: let's say I had renamed
commit.c to
git-commit.c, and I had
done an
update-index to make that effective in the index file.
git diff-files wouldn't show anything at all, since the index file
matches my working directory. But doing a git diff-index does:
torvalds@ppc970:~/git> git diff-index --cached HEAD -100644 blob 4161aecc6700a2eb579e842af0b7f22b98443f74 commit.c +100644 blob 4161aecc6700a2eb579e842af0b7f22b98443f74 git-commit.c
You can see easily that the above is a rename.
In fact,
git diff-index --cached should always be entirely equivalent to
actually doing a git write-tree and comparing that. Except this one is much
nicer for the case where you just want to check where you are.
So doing a
git diff-index --cached is basically very useful when you are
asking yourself "what have I already marked for being committed, and
what's the difference to a previous tree".
Non-cached Mode
The "non-cached" mode takes a different approach, and is potentially the more useful of the two in that what it does can't be emulated with a git write-tree + git diff-tree. Thus that's the default mode. The non-cached version asks the question:
show me the differences between HEAD and the currently checked out tree - index contents _and_ files that aren't up-to-date
which is obviously a very useful question too, since that tells you what you could commit. Again, the output matches the git diff-tree -r output to a tee, but with a twist.
The twist is that if some file doesn't match the index, we don't have
a backing store thing for it, and we use the magic "all-zero" sha1 to
show that. So let's say that you have edited
kernel/sched.c, but
have not actually done a git update-index on it yet - there is no
"object" associated with the new state, and you get:
torvalds@ppc970:~/v2.6/linux> git diff-index --abbrev HEAD :100644 100664 7476bb... 000000... kernel/sched.c
i.e., it shows that the tree has changed, and that
kernel/sched.c has is
not up-to-date and may contain new stuff. The all-zero sha1 means that to
get the real diff, you need to look at the object in the working directory
directly rather than do an object-to-object diff.
As with other commands of this type, git diff-index does not
actually look at the contents of the file at all. So maybe
kernel/sched.c hasn't actually changed, and it's just that you
touched it. In either case, it's a note that you need to
git update-index it to make the index be in sync.
|You can have a mixture of files show up as "has been updated" and "is still dirty in the working directory" together. You can always tell which file is in which state, since the "has been updated" ones show a valid sha1, and the "not in sync with the index" ones will always have the special all-zero sha1.

A high speed chase ended in Mitchell when the suspect crashed the vehicle Saturday morning.
According to Chief Deputy Steve Harr of the Davison Sheriff's Department, Trevor Kohlrus was clocked going 58 in a 30 mph zone in a Pontiac Grand Prix. Kohlrus began to accelerate before a Sheriff's Deputy turned on the police lights.
Kohlrus lost control of the vehicle hitting a snow bank, telephone pole, a parked pickup truck, a parked car, a fence and a tree, flipping the car in the process before coming to a rest.
Kohlrus then attempted to crawl out of the vehicle and run before he was apprehended by Mitchell Police.
Kohlrus is currently in the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Charges are pending.

We know what Kevin Millwood is - a solid innings eater - nothing that's going to get anyone excited, but a guy who could really help a team that has playoff aspirations. What a horse! He's started fewer than 29 games only twice (25GS in '04 and 21GS in '01) since his debut season in 1997. With Millwood as the fifth starter the Rangers could go with Lewis/Wilson/Hunter/Holland as the other four. Feliz is the closer, Feldman could be the long man and Harrison and his Speedy Gonzalez unrepeatable delivery could go wherever.
What would it take, $5 million plus incentives? Would ya?

Views sought on Temple A30 dualling blueprint
Posted: January 04, 2013|
THIS image shows how the A30 could be re-designed to alleviate traffic congestion at Temple, near Bodmin.
The Cornish Guardian reported before Christmas how Chancellor George Osborne had approved the £60 million scheme to dual the notorious bottleneck.
Now members of the public will have an opportunity to have their say on proposals during an exhibition at Blisland Village Hall on January 10 and 11.
Cornwall Council was given approval to proceed with proposals to dual the three-mile stretch of the A30 between Temple and Higher Carblake after the Government confirmed it would put £30 million into the scheme.
The council will match this funding and finance the preparatory costs of delivering the scheme, designed by Cormac Solutions Ltd.
The council said that initial discussions with residents and interested parties had helped inform the current design and as part of the official consultation process, the exhibition would give members of the public an opportunity to view the latest designs and have their say.
A computer-generated 'fly-through' and images of the planned route will be on display during the exhibition which will be open between 10.30am and 8pm on Thursday, January 10 and between 8am and 8pm on Friday, January 11.
"It is really important that people get involved in this consultation process," said Councillor Bert Biscoe, Cornwall Council portfolio holder for transport, highways and environment.
"We would very much like to get as many people involved as possible – it's your moor, your road."
Councillor Mick Martin, Cornwall Council member for Lanivet, added: "I hope that everyone is able to attend the exhibitions in Blisland and if you can't turn up on either day, there is still the opportunity to have your say – so please do."
If you are unable to attend the exhibition, you can find out more about the plans at www.cornwall.gov.uk/ majorschemes or write to Engineering Design Group, Cornwall Council, Murdoch Building, Scorrier, Redruth TR16 5EH, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01872 323313.

Swimming and Diving Takes Final Home Dual
Feb. 5, 2010
EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan State men's and women's swimming and diving teams each defeated St. Bonaventure on Friday (Feb. 5) in what was the final home meet of the season for the Spartans. The men's team won, 124-111, while the women's team won, 138-89.
"I thought our effort was good today, we swam some people in some off events," said Michigan State head coach Matt Gianiodis. "I thought we held our focus really well, even in the events after our senior ceremony."
Near the end of Friday's meet, the Spartans honored the 17 seniors who made their final appearance at McCaffree Pool, including: Sarah Biasello, Laura DeFord, Nicki Golen, Cassie Hamilton, Kayla Kalmbach, Sasha Lewerenz, Mara Loniewski, Emma Schaefer, Kara Wackerle, Erinn Wertz, David Garry, Sho Koba, Jon Larocque, Matt Massman, Garrett Ruhland, Joe Schmitt and Gabe Strickler.
"It was really nice to honor all of the seniors today," said Gianiodis. "I'm really happy for them."
The Spartans dominated from the outset as the men's and women's teams combined to win 11 of the meet's first 12 events. Michigan State swept eight consecutive events before the diving break, winning the 1,000 freestyle with Rachael Wilson (10:31.27) and Jacob Jarzen (9:33.01), the 200 free with Loniewski (1:55.26) and Schmitt (1:42.14), the 50 free with Wertz (24.29) and Strickler (21.97), and the 200 IM with Schaefer (2:10.11) and Mark Schramm (1:56.52).
MSU continued its strong performance in the second half of the meet and capped it off with a pool-record 200 men's free relay. The senior group of Ruhland, Schmitt, Massman and LaRocque established the new mark with a time of 1:23.14.
"We've been talking about the opportunity to break that record all week," said Gianiodis. "Michigan broke it last year with four really good swimmers and we put four seniors in there today and they did a great job The Spartan divers also performed well as Sarah Clay and Ivan Zalessov each swept the one and three-meter competitions. Clay scored a 332.55 on the three-meter, followed by Kalmbach with a 304.20 and Brooke Sauchak with a 248.62. Clay's 290.17 was tops on the one-meter, followed by Ashley Borgman's 277.87 and Kalmbach with a 272.87. Borgman's score qualified her for NCAA Zones.
Zalessov registered a 316.87 on the one-meter and a 368.40 on the three-meter board while Garry followed with a 296.25 and 351.15 on the same boards, respectively.
The Spartan men's team will return to action tomorrow at Michigan for a noon meet with the Wolverines. The women's team will be in action next at the Big Ten Championships which begin on Feb. 17 in West Lafayette, Ind.

The Mets trade OF Jeff Francoeur, C Omir Santos, RHP Brad Holt & IF Wilmer Flores
to the Indians for C Victor Martinez & OF Ben Francisco
The Indians don't seem like they'll be making the playoffs any time soon, and may want some more depth to add to their farm system (especially in the rotation). In the trade they receive plenty of youth, as well as a future member of the rotation in Brad Holt. For the Mets, they get a great, affordable catcher for the next year and a half, and also have plenty of time to re-sign him as well. While many believe the Mets should go for an outfielder if they are trading Francoeur (especially with Beltran out), I think that Martinez will more than enough of an addition to the lineup, and over the long term Francisco will probably produce more than Francoeur.
As for the Indians roster, all the spots will be filled. Francoeur would replace Francisco, and Shoppach/Santos would replace Martinez.

Johannesburg - South African Football Association (SAFA) president Danny Jordaan said Gordon Igesund's job with the national team was safe for now.
"I am aware that there is speculation surrounding Bafana Bafana coach Gordon Igesund," Jordaan said on Tuesday.
"I read in the news that this coach or that coach is coming to take over from Gordon. Well, I want to say that, at the moment, there is no vacancy."
Rumours were widespread on Igesund's future after Bafana Bafana failed to qualify for the quarterfinals of the African Nations Championship, hosted by South Africa, in January.
Jordaan promised sweeping changes in the structures of football to ensure improvements in developing the sport across all age groups.
After a three-day Lekgotla of NEC members, SAFA would now embark on a major overhaul, he said.
An increased emphasis on the development of youth teams and women's football; the reintroduction of inter-provincial tournaments for men and women and the creation of football academies in all nine provinces were some of the initiatives announced.
"We have thrown away the drawing board and starting on a new slate," Jordaan said.
"If we are to have a national team that can compete with the best in the world, then we have to strengthen development at all levels in order to produce players capable of beating the best in the world.
"We will be working harder to identify and develop promising young women to help them achieve their full potential."
A major training programme for scouts and coaches would be held to enhance their abilities to improve talent identification across the country and a greater emphasis would be placed on scientific research to improve player performance.

The Mets open up their final home series of the 2012 season tonight, a four-game set with the plummeting Pittsburgh Pirates. In the thick of the pennant race through July, the Pirates' season came tumbling down in August and September and now they're struggling to keep their heads above .500 with a 75-77 record coming into this series. A losing season would be the Pirates' 20th in a row, a tough pill to swallow in a season that seemed to have so much potential two months ago. To give us a little preview of the Pirates, I sent some questions to Charlie Wilmoth of SB Nation's Bucs Dugout and he graciously answered them for us below.
Amazin' Avenue: What has been the biggest culprit for the Pirates' second consecutive second half demise?
Click past the jump to continue reading.
Bucs Dugout: God.
AA: Do you think Andrew McCutchen wins this year's NL MVP award?
BD: No. The Pirates were 16 games above .500 at one point, and now they're headed for a 20th straight losing season. McCutchen has played well recently, but not as well as he did earlier this summer. I can't believe voters will look kindly upon either of those things.
AA: What area(s) do the Pirates have to look to improve this offseason to help take the team to the next level and how do you think they go about improving?
BD: I think they may consider firing general manager Neal Huntington, as well as assistant GMs Greg Smith and Kyle Stark (who are their big scouting and player-development guys, respectively). Beyond that, the usual mechanism for offseason improvement it the free agent market, and the Pirates have shown over and over that they're not really able to get good players there, mainly because they don't have much money and because players who have choices don't want to come to Pittsburgh. If they can pull off another A.J. Burnett-type trade, though, that would be great. They'll need a catcher and starting pitching.
AA: When the Mets last faced the Pirates, James McDonald looked like he'd taken a huge step forward into a potential ace but his season has taken a turn for the worse since then. What's changed for him the last three months?
BD: Early in the year, he had zip on his fastball, and he had two very good breaking pitches that he used to keep hitters off-guard. Now he doesn't throw quite as hard, his command as awful, and his breaking stuff has turned to mush. To call it apples and oranges would be misleading, because both those things taste good.
AA: Which Pirates players have been playing well over the last few weeks and which players have been struggling?
BD: McCutchen and Gaby Sanchez have played well. Jose Tabata has looked good since returning from a demotion earlier in the year. Clint Barmes has actually hit a bit. Burnett, Wandy Rodriguez and Kevin Correia have all pitched well. Many of the other players have been terrible. The bullpen has been a disaster.
Thanks to Charlie for giving us a preview of the Pirates! Here are the pitching matchups for this series:

MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Monday, we reported accusations that state testing information was being shared with students at a Monroe Junior High School. This happened before they were given the actual tests.
The district's investigation hasn't turned up any proof that happened. The pressure for both teachers and students to do well on these type of tests has made national news.
What teachers have taught and what students have learned is put to the test at the end of the year. The morning is spent taking the actual tests; and in the afternoon students take practice tests to prep for the next day.
Retired Teacher, Rickey Fields, says "some students grasp things quicker than others. Some learn at a slower pace, some learn just like that."
Regardless, teachers like Fields say your performance is judged whether your students get the material, or not. Fields retired from teaching high school math a year ago. He knows how stressful this week can be.
He says, "you're working past hours. When you leave school, you're still working because you're trying to prepare for the next day. You're trying to prepare individually for each child."
Teachers are busy making sure students are prepared, answering any questions they have during the practice test sessions. Testing has always been difficult for teachers but this year, there is an added stress. Fields says, "now their job is depending on that, so their job depends on how good the students do."
This year, 50% of the student's scores figure into the teachers year-end, year-long evaluation. Ouachita Parish Assistant Superintendent, Don Coker, says "the other 50 percent is determined by the regular observations and evaluation their principals or assistant principals conduct in their class rooms."
For students the tests determine whether they'll move on to the next grade. Fields says that makes testing stressful for everyone.
A recent scandal in Atlanta revealed school officials were altering scores on standardized tests to better reflect on the students' and the teachers' performance.

Posted under gear discussion for obvious reasons. I am interested in trying to go low gluten for a month or two to see how I feel. If it's good enough for Peter Croft, it's good enough for me. I still want to drink beer though. In an hour of googling I never found a definitive answer. The closest I found was a forum comment in some forum about neanderthal diets. It said that most non wheat beers have 0-200ppm of gluten where a slice bread has 200,000ppm. This of course is completely unverified and smells like bullshit. I am in no way interested in gluten free beer. I am interested in PBR and Dale's. What do YOU know?
My opinion: Gluten is a fad diet with little to no research backing it. Gluten free diets should only be done by people with celiac disease.
You do realize gluten free is not one of the latest fad diets like paleo? People that are gluten free have a medical allergy, they dont just "try gluten free" to lose weight and feel better. They have an ALLERGIC reaction if they eat gluent. I am sorry but my girlfriend has celiac disease and it pisses me off when people think its some kinda a diet to "try out to feel better."
It is out there, sorry can't remember the name at the moment but I think it had sorghum in it. I'm remembering it had a river or wooden waterwheel looking logo. I'll get back to you. But gotta agree with everyone else, unless there's a medical reason it's an expensive unnecessary pain in the ass, and gluten free beer is expensive as hell. Compared to the sweet nectar that is Pabst.
I know any gluten free beer that I've had tasted like shit. How would you benefit from gluten free if you are not allergic?
Eric, What the fuck do you want from me? Blood? I don't care about your girlfriend unless she has pertinent information to my question. I am well aware of it's fad diet status. I am also well aware of what Celiac's is. I feel fortunate that I don't have it. I have heard enough anecdotes regarding the benefits of reducing gluten that yes, I fucking want to "try it to see if I feel better". Eric, why does what I choose to put in my mouth piss you off? Is it because that isn't you? Evan, should vegetarianism only be done by people with an allergy to meat? Should everyone who isn't allergic to a certain food gorge themselves in it? Sorry boys but I am still going to try my little experiment, probably for about 3 months. I'm just trying to figure out my thoughts on beer.
Have you seen the PRICE of gluten free beer? I've bought some for a friend and it was expensive as sh*t!! If you don't have to don't. Besides why wouldy you want to if you dont have to?
Celiac disease is not an allergy, its an autoimmune reaction, but not an "allergy." There are people (celiacs) who definitely have to be gluten free, for the rest of the population, its a fad diet. Whatever, I don't really care. I remember seeing one by New Planet i think?
I imagine sticking with any beer that is rice based beers, as far as rice beers go, this is a tasty one, but I hate rice beers. Also, I have no numbers to actual gluten content beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/158/31473

As a follow up to a year-end press release which summarized 2011 as a "GOP Failure", House Democrats continue to criticize Gov. Corbett and the GOP for failed leadership. This time, Democrats announced their initiative to take the lead in Pennsylvania's transportation and infrastructure crisis. The Governor's transportation advisory committee reported back with their findings in August 2011. As Republicans have put Pennsylvania's infrastructure needs on the back burner of the legislative agenda, the Democrats are rightfully placing increased emphasis on transportation. However, their leadership fails to appropriately address the Keystone state's growing infrastructure demands.
Both Democrats and the transportation advisory committee conclude that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is faced with a multibillion dollar budget gap. They claim that the correlation between increased fuel efficiency standards which result in decreased fuel tax revenues to be at the forefront of a revenue problem. Another facet of blame for a widening budget gap is inflation and increasing Pennsylvania State Police costs. According to the advisory commitee's projections, PennDOT will face more than a $7 billion funding gap by 2020. This will further deprive the state of sorely needed construction and reparation projects.
While Democrats and the advisory committee should be commended for reviewing tens of millions of dollars in savings through modernization and efficiency, the overwhelming majority of their proposals include raising billions of dollars in increased fees and higher gasoline taxes. Another controversial move by Democrats is to utilize turnpike revenue to fund mass transit. This move is in opposition to a user-fee policy. Turnpike motorists will be paying for a form of transportation they choose to avoid. The Democratic plan for PennDOT is business as usual in Harrisburg as politicians choose to raise revenues and leave important reforms off the table.
In order to truly confront the infrastructure crisis in Pennsylvania, lawmakers must recognize the core of the problem is overspending; not lack of revenues. The Commonwealth's spending per road mile is ranked higher than nearly all other states. Additionally, gasoline taxes are amongst the highest in the nation. Pennsylvanians deserve more for the current funding. This can only be achieved through fundamental reforms. There are a plethora of policy options from which to choose that will give Pennsylvanians more for their tax dollars. These policies include the end of pork barrel transportation projects, reforming or eliminating prevailing wage laws, and enabling public-private partnerships for the Pennsylvania Turnpike and mass transit. Implementing such reforms will free up the necessary resources to rebuild Pennsylvania's deteriorating infrastructure.
Pennsylvania's widening transportation funding gap merits the attention of all lawmakers. For a proper solution it must be recognized that the dismal state of affairs is the result of a spending problem, not revenues. The status-quo is no longer acceptable as there are several ways to make real positive changes that will create more jobs through more construction projects with the same level of funding. Pennsylvania must invest wisely and be an efficient steward of taxpayer money as a practice of good governance while paving the roadways towards the future.

Put up your hand if you love to travel. Now, raise your other hand if you're an independent woman. As most of my readers are I really wanted to do this post for you all. So this summer I've decided to travel to Rio de Janerio, Brazil and back to New York again, ALONE. When I told my mother the news she started to flip out about the dangers of young female college students traveling to different countries alone. So here are so tips on how to plan to safe trip!
1. Pre Trip
You need to figure out where exactly you want to go and how you want to get there. Then think about things like how are you going to get around, do you know the language, and where are the main tourists attractions,
2. Consider an online tour
3. Have a contingency plan for emergencies.
Make copies of you important documents(passport,id,SSN) also carry a emergency contact card with you at all times.
4. Be sure not to talk to strangers.
Like my mother always say, "Never let someone know that you are alone."
And last but not least DO NOT forget to register to STEP! STEP, which stands for Smart Traveler Enrollment Program is a free service provided by the government to U.S. citizens who are traveling to, or living in, another country. After creating an account with the program, you can enter all of the details regarding your upcoming trip so the Department of State can assist you better in the case of an emergency while abroad be it legal, medical, or financial. If you're from outside of the U.S., your country will have a similar program, so do a little research to find out where to register.
So be sure to have a blast wherever you go! Be sure to send us pictures to post on our website!!!

1n. When the polyurethane is dry, run the t" drill bit through
the protractor image's origin point, so the t" brass tube can be
mounted in this hole when needed.
2a. Cut ¾" lengths of both the ¼" aluminum and the t" brass tubing, to make 2 cylindrical shims.
Clamp the aluminum shim in a vise and enlarge its inner diameter by drilling with a #21 bit. Check that the
2 shims nest together and will slip over the motor shaft and fit into the bronze bearing.
2b. File a
1"-wide flat on one side of the bronze bearing, then
center-punch marks on that flat, ¼" in from each end. Use a #21
bit to drill through the bearing at each mark, then use a #10-32
tap and handle to thread each hole for the setscrews.
2c. Slip the bearing over the drive wheel's axle, install 2 of the
setscrews at the wheel end of the bearing, and make sure the
wheel turns freely. Slip the nested shims over the motor's drive
shaft, then slip the shims and drive shaft into the other end of
the bearing. Make a mark through one of the remaining setscrew
holes with a fine-tipped marker, then use the narrow edge of a file
to file slots through the shims that will permit the third setscrew
to reach the flat on the motor's drive shaft.
WARNING: Never apply torque to the motor's shaft;
you may strip its gears! !
2d. Use the #4-40 screw, nut, and washer to attach one mounting
flange of the motor to the 1"× 1"×½" corner brace. Fit together the
drive wheel, coupling, and motor shaft, keeping the motor's flanges
as horizontal as possible and the corner brace flush against the
underside of the turntable. Mark and drill a #21 hole for the screw
to anchor the corner brace; it will be off to one side from the drive
coupling. Countersink the hole on the topside of the turntable and
install a ½" flathead screw with a nut underneath to anchor the
motor. Install the third setscrew to fix the bearing to the drive shaft.
2e. With the turntable still inverted, lay the base disk on the wheels and check whether the motor's
unused mounting flange sticks up to touch the base disk. If so, file it down to open up some clearance.

If you think you can leverage all this beast has to offer, buy this phone.

A team of local doctors, nurses and first responders who answered the call for help when a powerful typhoon hit the Philippines has returned home to Oregon.
Nearly 6,000 people have died since Typhoon Haiyan made landfall on Nov. 8, according to figures released this week. Hundreds of people are still missing.
The three volunteers FOX 12 spoke with on Wednesday night all spent about three weeks in some of the hardest-hit areas. They were part of one of the six teams that traveled to the Philippines through an organization called Medical Teams International, which is based out of Portland.
"It was everything flattened, brown, all the roofs gone, just devastation," said Dr. Don Lagrone, one of the volunteers.
"Very sobering," said Dr. Shandra Greig, another one of the volunteers.
When the team arrived in the Philippines in mid-November, two weeks had passed since the typhoon hit the island nation. The volunteers immediately went to work.
During the trip, the volunteers treated upwards of 200 patients a day for things like severe lacerations, broken bones, fever and pneumonia. Access to basic medical care in many areas had essentially been wiped out because the damage from Typhoon Haiyan was so severe, the volunteers said.
"It feels a bit emotional at times because you know these people have gone through a traumatic experience," said Greig.
"Their primary interest was moving on and getting their lives back together," said Lagrone. "They were extremely resilient, upbeat and thankful."
Seeing that up close was personal for Rich Stamps, a paramedic with Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue. He was born in the Philippines and couldn't help but worry about loved ones who were directly impacted by the typhoon, he said.
"My perception of like how a lot of the world, lives was shattered," said Stamps.
His team had no access to electricity and no running water for days.
But Lagrone, Greig and Stamps said their experience in the Philippines made them appreciate everything they have back here at home.
"You go to a place like we did. And you work under a tarp with a table and two chairs," said Lagrone. "You have very, very limited resources, but you realize that you can do a lot with a little."
Stamps said it changed his perspective on what's important.
We all get knocked down at some point in our lives, he said. But it's how you stand up that matters.
"The way they're standing up compared to what I've seen with other disasters and even in my own life is remarkable," Stamps said.
Medical Teams International has sent 30 volunteers to the Philippines since the typhoon hit. They've treated more than 14,000 patients so far.
Stamps said all of his family members in the Philippines are OK.

Rotary event raises £2,000 for hospital building
12:00am Monday 6th January 2014 in News By Karen Bate
A CHARITY boxing night organised by the Bransgore Rotary Club raised a knockout £2,000 for the Royal Bournemouth Hospital's new Jigsaw building.
A Bournemouth Amateur Boxing Association inter-county boxing match and three-course meal was held at the Carrington Hotel, with money raised from ticket sales, a raffle and an auction.
The Jigsaw building is being constructed at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital to bring together oncology, haematology, gynaecology, breast care and early pregnancy in two new units.
The Bournemouth Hospital Charity aims to raise £2m each year to support the patient experience above and beyond what the NHS can afford. Donations to the charity provide the funding for much-needed equipment and resources.
