As the second half of the B1G season got underway, league leaders Indiana and Michigan lost in dramatic fashion to Illinois and Wisconsin. These losses point out how deep and how tough the conference is this year. Indiana and Michigan have each been ranked number one in the country and have stayed at or near the top of the charts so far this year. Michigan State, Ohio State, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois have all spent time ranked in the top 25. Most experts have recognized the B1G as the best conference in the country. HOWEVER, several references have been made in the press to the fact that this prestigious conference has not been getting it done on the biggest stage.
The last NCAA Tournament Championship won by a member of the Big Ten Conference was MSU in 2000. That is an unacceptably long drought.
From 1971 to 1990 B1G teams won 5 titles, or 25% of all the tournaments. In the next 20 years from 1991 to 2010 the conference managed only 1 championship. The ACC, Big East and SEC have dominated this period with the PAC-12 and Big 12 grabbing a couple.
In total Indiana has accounted for 3 of the last 6 NCAA championships and 5 of the total 10 all-time. MSU is the second most successful with 2 titles and Michigan, OSU and Wisconsin have all managed 1 each. I am disappointed that our conference rivals have failed to match their success within the league on the national level.
In my opinion the Hoosiers have demonstrated that they have the talent to compete for and win another national title. They have also shown they can stumble and loose a game they have all but wrapped up. The goal for this team is still to hang the sixth banner in Assembly Hall, BUT I challenge the rest of the B1G teams to join us in the Final Four and to be the team that wins it all if we fall short.
The Spartans have not received as much attention as IU and Michigan but they have a number of quality wins, are sitting atop the B1G and have the coach that has the best Final Four resume.
The Wolverines, like the Hoosiers have held the #1 spot in the rankings, have quality wins, have led the B1G and seem to have what it takes to win a title. Their only NCAA trophy has 23 years of dust on it and is lonely.
This does not look like the year that the Buckeyes are capable of winning it all, however the last few years they had everything that it takes to win, they entered the tourney as favorites and they underperformed badly. Maybe this year they can flip the script and outperform expectations.
Year after year the Badgers are pests and create pains for their fellow B1G teams. They manage to stay in the top half of the league and make the tournament. Maybe someday soon they will cause non-conference teams as much pain as they cause their league foes by winning the whole damn thing.
I am at a loss to know what to think about the Golden Gophers. As the B1G season opened I counted them as one of the top three teams to win the league. They have struggled to a .500 record in league play, however they still have strong players both inside and out. Can they make a surprise run against teams that don't have to play teams of this caliber every week from January through February?
Purdue fans probably will accuse me of bias when I point out that their only national championship in basketball came before it was decided by a tournament. They were voted champs in 1932. While they have more success than any other team within the league, they have no trophies or banners to show for it. Sorry Purdue this will not be the year to end that streak. You need to get into the tournament to win the tournament.
It has been a long time since the Hawkeyes have been a threat to win it all and the Northwestern Wildcats are famous for not making the tournament. The Cornhuskers and Nittany Lions must wait until spring football practice to talk about national prominence.
I am not letting the Hoosiers off the hook. I want a championship Banner. It's been way too long for our proud program and it's our time. It is also time for our colleagues to be the team to win it all in years that we don't. IU is not the only team that is past due.


text: Ouch. It looks like UCONN is in trouble again. There is not direct impact here, but it may have a potential impact on recruiting. Not only for the Terps, but many other teams in the future. Would you really want to risk an NCAA appearance on a student-athlete who may not be up to par? Perhaps if you could "make sure" that their grades were always up to an acceptable level. Although, it is a bit of a gamble.

I know this probably won't happen in a million years, but I think the pieces are there to pull it off. This whole trade hinges on the idea that the Rockets are already prepared this year to play with rotating players at Center.
The first part of the trade is Rockets/Lakers. It seems that the Lakers are wanting to move Bynum and are coveting Dwight Howard. Offering the Lakers Aaron Brooks & Yao Ming for Bynum and either Brown or Fisher to make the money work. The value for them is that Brooks is a Lakers killer. They've seen his A-game. You could sell them the vision of a lineup of Brooks/Bryant/Odom/Gasol/Ming on the best of days. At worst, knowing that Ming may not play again, they get out from under Bynum's contract and have more pieces to go after Howard. The Chinese government would probably let this trade go through since L.A. is an even bigger market that Houston and has the same strong Chinese community there.
The second part of the trade is Rockets/Blazers. Offer Budinger & Jeffries for Greg Oden. Oden is practically a bust in Portland and they have Camby, so they might part with Oden. Budinger could fit nicely somewhere between Roy & Alderidge. Jefferies would just be an expiring contract. They would also be getting out of Oden's contract.
The third part of the trade is Rockets/Suns. Offer whatever comibination of picks and Fisher/Brown/I.Smith/Lee it takes to get Steve Nash. There have been rumors that he might not be long for the Suns. The Suns would get a serviceable point guard back and some young talent.
With these 3 trades the Rockets could contend in the West. The starting lineup would be Nash/Martin/Battier/Scola/Bynum. Nash would maximize the scoring of Martin & Scola. Bynum could change shots and Battier would be Battier on defense. Off the bench would be Lowery/Williams/Patterson/Hill/Oden. Still largly the same nucleus of players coming off the bench. Just a little stronger with a legitimate Center. Because both Bynum and Oden are walking injuries, you would give Hayes & Miller a lot of minutes. You could have each of the four play one quarter. The easing of minutes on Bynum & Oden might get them to and even through the playoffs.
With trades like this, the Rockets have size to compete with anyone. The Rockets were already set to rotate minutes at Center with Yao. Adding Bynum & Oden gives the Rockets 5 players (Bynum/Oden/Miller/Hayes/Hill) that could play Center.
Am I crazy or could a trade scenario like this actually happen?

–this post is part of a series of that suggests performance concepts. please see the intro for more info.–
in a way, unless we are presenting a world premiere, every play is a kind of remix. the play can be seen as the original "song", presented first with an original "mix", then when re-produced, the play is re-mixed with different actors, settings, staging, etc. but remix culture has taught us that there are as many ways to remix songs as there are individual approaches.
the remix was developed by jamaican dub producers beginning in the late 1960s and disco DJs in the 1970s (most evidently in new york city). "dub" versions of popular reggae tracks were given renewed life and adaptability (as well as spaced-out atmospheres) by engineers like King Tubby and Lee "Scratch" Perry. on disco dancefloors, DJs (like Walter Gibbons and Larry Levan) played hot singles but were looking for ways to extend the tracks into a constant groove (and to mix seamlessly into other tracks). this practice has become a cornerstone of dance, DJ and electronic music culture. songs continue to get new play by the recurring recontextualizations in a mix, remixes in new styles by new artists and new reinterpretations of rediscovered tracks in local scenes and cultures. in this way, a song becomes a living, evolving entity.. unfixed, open to metamorphosis, much in keeping with open source culture.
the practice of reinterpretation is one that has thrilled me in the theatre, leading me ultimately to directing. it's striking to consider how many times we've attempted to enact the rituals of Death of a Salesman (1949), Hamlet (1599) or Oedipus Rex (429 BC). we find this less in other media than we do in the theatre. although there are notable exceptions, we less frequently remake movies, rewrite books or repaint pictures. but in theatre, it is important to revisit these works, faithful that there is ever more to unearth.
from this ancient impulse it seems natural that the theatre would effortlessly combine with contemporary open source/remix culture and yet, this is rarely the case. unyielding literary agents and petrified practices strictly inform us that there are things we may and may not do with pre-existing works. while a few forward-thinking writers are setting new standards (Charles Mee, Richard Foreman), most playwrights do not share the enthusiasm for postmodern appropriations. so it is that contemporary artists/companies look to public domain works, affirming their relevance and relegating the "modern" playwright to bourgeois status, relevant only to those who are satisfied in seeing what they've seen before, doing it in ways that are worn out.
take, as an example, our usual way of presenting plays. we rehearse and rehearse until we have hammered an unpredictable, live event into fully controlled, predetermined series of actions, the highest praised reserved for those that approximate utter repeatability, unaffected by anything exterior to the "life" of it (with the occasional grudging intrusion of an audience response). we may not change-up our expression after an audience comes, or if we need special permission to do so, we give it a special characterization: "previews" (offered at discounted ticket prices).
what if performance production were less about presenting a perfect, frozen product and more about offering a continual re-evaluation of a work that grew and changed as it lived? can you imagine what it would be like to produce (or see) a show that constantly refined, rethought and renewed?; one that brought in new actors, changed their existing ones around?; that would be "remixed" by new directors for special events, played in new spaces? a possible exploration could include an evening of one scene alone, "remixed" in a variety of ways, by a variety of artists. this would be a production that had life, that breathed. for those managing directors and box office professionals out there, imagine the repeat business!
the more ways we are allowed to engage with a work of art, the deeper the impression it makes on us. let's give audiences new and exciting ways to become familiar with the work that we produce.
for 200 bonus points, count how many times a word begins with "re-" in this post.

With Harrison Barnes joining Perry Jones and Jared Sullinger, Wizards' fans have been in terror of a potentially poor ping pong ball bounce in the upcoming lottery. Seriously, not since Rodney Dangerfield's character in "Back to School" have I seen a more bizarre explanation for returning to college. If the Wizards win the no. 1 or no. 2 pick and can land Derrick Williams, Wizards fans will breathe a sigh of relief. Alternatively, if the Wizards end up with Enes Kanter, I think it'll be a successful, though not exceptional draft. But what should the Wizards do if their standard lottery luck reappears? What's the game plan if the Wizards pick between 5-7? I believe there are 5 philosophies the Wizards could adopt.
Option 1- 2011-2012 Tank
The Wizards should strive to win the 2012 draft. Under this plan, the Wizards punt this season in the hopes of winning it big next season. If the Wizards adopt this plan, they should:
1. Draft European prospects and stash them overseas for a year.
2. Preserve salary cap flexibility by not signing any veteran beyond this season.
3. Lower the cost of beer at the games
If the Wizards truly believe next year's draft is fantastic, and this coming draft is terrible, they could play the long-game. By drafting prospects they can keep overseas, they ensure their record won't improve dramatically. By preserving salary cap flexibility, they are better positioned to engaged in BOYD for next season. By not making any major additions, they also allow maximum playing time for each of their prospects. With Crawford, Booker, and Seraphin playing significant minutes, hopefully their games can develop around Wall. The Wizards would then be poised to leap up the standings after in 2012 with a group of seasoned young players, John Wall, and their 2012 top tier prospect. The danger of this plan is that is our players could develop bad habits, a losing culture, and a cancerous locker room. Another danger of this plan is that it may alienate the fans by basically "passing" on a chance to improve immediately in the hopes of adding a star.
Option 2- Aggressive Buyer
The Wizards could instead adopt an aggressive poster trying to accumulate as many pick as possible. Under this plan the Wizards would:
1. Buy picks outright
2. Buy picks through "Bring Our Your Dead" trades
When the general perception is that the draft is poor, it's often a good time to buy. While the draft may not have the top tier star player to play opposite John Wall, the Wizards could acquire a good deep bench and maybe a starter or two through being an aggressive buyer in a down market. The Detroit Pistons are loaded with terrible contracts and would be primed for a BOYD. There are several teams in the lottery that might be willing to part with their lottery pick to increase their cap space: Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns, and Charlotte Bobcats. There are also teams that are substantially over the luxury tax line, such as Los Angeles Lakers. Since their rookie contrast cost double, these luxury tax teams might be willing to sell their picks. Lastly, owners are nervous about a lock-out too. A lock-out doesn't just take away the player's salaries, but the owner's revenue. Some owners might be willing to just take the cash. If the Wizards were able to get four first rounds through BOYDs and outright purchases of picks, the Wizards might be able to make up for the fact that they didn't land a top tier talent with their first pick. For example, adding Jan Vessely, Alec Burke, Jordan Hamilton, and Patric Young would be a pretty good haul for the Wizards. It would require the Wizards playing with an expanded bench, like the Nuggets are now and Hubbie Brown's Memphis teams.
Option 3- Trade it Away
Under Grunfeld, the Wizards have twice traded away the fifth overall pick to add players. While the Antawn Jameson trade is largely perceived to be a success, the Miller/Foye trade did not work very well for our team. Nevertheless, the Miller/Foye trade did provide some cap relief. Two players who might be available with the 5-7 pick would be:
1. DeMarcus Cousins- He has obvious chemistry with John Wall. He also appears to be crazy. I am a not sure he's worn out his welcome enough to be traded away for the 5-7th pick in this year's draft. I am equally unsure if he fits with the culture the Wizards want to create. Nevertheless, I think the risk would be worth the rewards for the Wizards.
2. Al Jefferson- After jettisoning Deron Williams, Utah may be willing to move Al Jefferson. They already have Derrick Favors, Paul Millsap, and Mehmet Okkur under contract. Utah would be able to completely rebuild their team with 3 lottery picks in this draft. They would also have the Nets pick the following year. Jefferson would provide the Wizards will a solid low-post scorer. Nevertheless, his defense and conditioning are a concern. Additionally, the Jazz might not be ready to pass the baton to Derrick Favors yet.
Option 4- Aim for Calm and Measured Improvement
1. Draft best available player
2. Supplement current roster with "medium" cost free agents.
Rather than adopt a dramatic plan, the Wizards could simply select the best available player with both of their first round picks. The Wizards would probably make some marginable improvements. With lots of cap space, the Wizards may be able to add a veteran player or two. Adding a player like Tayshaun Prince or Shane Battie would not break the bank, but might help the team to challenge for a playoff spot this year.
Is that a recipe for becoming a championship team? Maybe, but it's more likely the Wizards would become a lower tier Eastern conference team for the next few years. The advantage of this plan is that is that a marginal improvement would help develop a winning culture for the team. This might allow them to attract more free agent talent in the future. It would also help with keeping John Wall happy.
Option 5- Trade up
The Wizard could package some of their assets to trade up to snag Williams or Kanter. The Wizards could package their 18th pick with the 5-7th pick to get a top 3 pick.
Which option do you think is the right move for the Wizards? How would you do EG's job?

By BRIAN BASSETT
DHI Correspondent
COLUMBUS GROVE - The Crestview and Lincolnview boys cross country teams have been battling it out all season, each getting the better of the other at several points in the season.
Saturday, at the Northwest Conference Cross Country Championships at Columbus Grove, the Knights came out on top, edging Lincolnview by three points, 58-61, securing second place behind Grove's 30.
"We had like 13 out of our 19 guys who ran a PR - we just had a number of great performances," explained Crestview coach Jeff Bagley. "It was a day where Columbus Grove does a good job of running the meet, they've got a nice course, we should be at our best fitness of the year - and it was nice to see people take advantage of that and run well."
Lancer coach Matt Langdon credited the Knights with running a strong race: "Give a lot of credit to Crestview; they were second and they beat us by three points. It wasn't that we didn't run well. They just, I thought, had their best race of the season."
Despite just missing second place to a county rival, Langdon was happy with the way his team ran: "Our boys ran well. I think we had a very large majority of our top kids, and our whole team, run PRs. It was a fast course and a perfect day but we took advantage of those conditions and the course and ran really well."
Leading the local runners was Crestview senior Joel Genter, who placed second in 16:21. Grove star runner Jake Graham placed first in 15:55.
"Joel has got a good work ethic and a really good attitude. He takes a really good approach, not only to the race but to the preparation it takes to run well," Bagley said of Genter. "He's been doing a great job of running even splits. I think he even ran a negative-split last mile today which is really hard to do when you are running at the level he is," .
Also earning first-team All-NWC honors with a fourth-place finish was Lincolnview sophomore Bayley Tow, who finished in a time of 16:31.
"He's matured a great deal," said Langdon of Tow. "He obviously has a lot of talent but his year I think he's learning how to race. He really focused a lot on running smart, using strategy and reacting to some of the things around him. Hid did that. I thought he put himself in a really good position the last mile."
Crestview sophomore Mycah Grandstaff just missed first-place all-conference honors, placing sixth in 16:34. Rounding out the Knight top five were, senior Shelby Ripley (13th, 17:29), junior Bryce Richardson (18th, 17:40) and junior Tanner Skelton (22nd, 18:02).
"You go right down the line: Mycah ran well and Shelby - they both ran PRs. Bryce Richardson had a great race for us, Tanner Skelton had a PR. A lot of guys ran well, so that was nice to see," Bagley said.
Finishing behind Tow for the Lancers were, senior Jeff Jacomet (11th, 17:13), junior Ben Bilimek (12th, 17:13), sophomore Alex Rodriguez (15th, 17:31) and freshman Skylar Whitaker (23rd, 18:03). Freshman Trevor Neate just missed the top five, with a 26th-place finish in 18:09. Whitaker and Neate were the top two finishing freshmen.
"Our top-5 average was 17:18; there's nothing more we could have done. I was really happy with the way the kids responded going into tournament next week," Langdon explained.
The Lady Knights placed their top-5 runner in the top 25 of the race on their way to a third-place finish with 69 points. Crestview just missed Bluffton, who took second with 67. Spencerville claimed first with 25 points.
"We were actually just two points out of second, (two points) away from Bluffton. That's the way cross country is, a place here or there can make a big difference. I was pleased with the way the girls ran and the way they approached the race," Bagley said.
Senior Courtney Perrott took fifth for Crestview, in 20:45, to earn a spot of the NWC's first-team: "That was nice for Courtney. That actually tied her PR; that's the best she's run this year."
Also scoring for Crestview were junior Jalelle May (16th, 22:22), sophomore Hali Finfrock (18th, 22:31), senior Elizabeth Saylor (24th, 23:08) and junior Chelsea Hancock (25th, 23:09).
The Lady Lancers had only four runners finish and did not score as a team. They were led by a 19th-place finish by freshman Anna Gorman in 22:39.
"Anna had an OK race for us. It's not one of her favorite courses; sometimes that gets in your head. I did notice she was the top-placing freshman in the conference. I told her that when we got back to the school, so hopefully that encourages her," Langdon said.
Senior Taylor Miller was just behind Gorman, with a 21st-place finish in 22:46.
"She has had a very solid senior year. She's been a really strong leader, she's provided some consistency here at the end (of the season) and some toughness," explained Langdon of Miller.
Sophomores Mikinzie Dull (55th, 27:16) and Maddie Enyart (60th, 27:48) rounded out the field of Lady Lancers.
All four teams will be in action next Saturday as they travel to Liberty Center for the district race. Liberty Center is a new site for the race, which both teams will have to prepare for.
"It's going to be tough," added Langdon. "We've got a really tough district. We're going some place we've never raced before - Liberty Center. At this point of the season you just focus on yourself. We're starting to rest now and the kids have fresh legs, we're backing off. They're excited. There's nothing more I can do at this point. They bought in all season. We've just got to go out, focus on us the best we ca, and hopefully the results are favorable on us."
Bagley added his team has to be ready to go Saturday: "We'll do some things this week. You're at the time of the year where you've trying to fine-tune some things and make sure not only that you're fresh but you're trying to race with a lot of confidence. (The course) is going to be brand new to a lot of people. It's going to be exciting to see a different place to compete; that should be fun."


text: I've been contemplating this in my head all week. How "real" will our running game be this weekend against Wyoming? Will the offensive line show up and open holes for the backs? Will the RB's show up an run through the holes? Who knows! I'm putting my money on about a 50% chance we rush for 200 yards. I'm just not seeing much of a difference in our RB's running styles from last season. Here's to looking forward to a Horns rushing attack that proves me wrong. Vote below in the poll. Go Horns!

HUDSON, Wis. (AP) - Jurors in western Wisconsin say a father had a mental defect but is still responsible for killing his three young daughters last July.
Aaron Schaffhausen pleaded guilty last month to three counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the deaths of 11-year-old Amara, 8-year-old Sophie and 5-year-old Cecilia. But he argued he was not responsible because of a mental illness.
Jurors deliberated for about 3 1/2 hours before reaching their verdict.
During closing arguments Tuesday, prosecutor Gary Freyberg said Schaffhausen was in control of his actions and was a mean, callous person -- but not legally insane.
Defense attorney John Kucinski argued Schaffhausen has a rare mental disorder, rooted in a deep dependency on his ex-wife.
The jury found he had the capacity to know what he did was wrong.

Even the NBA Geek thinks we should hire Bogans
Again, average would be a huge upgrade over Wes Johnson (and, incidentally, Rip Hamilton was a downgrade from Bogans). Chicago waiving Bogans was a huge stroke of luck for the Wolves. How the hell has no one in this organization suggested that we throw a minimum-contract at Keith Bogans!? Maybe they don't want to make the playoffs because they want to get another lottery....oh, wait.

Carmen and Maarten's Washington, DC Wedding
Thursday, June 7, 2012
Photos by Drew
Carmen and Maarten's wedding was an international celebration with friends and family in attendance from all corners of the world. We captured the bridal party getting ready at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Reston, VA. The ceremony was at the beautiful Holy Rosary Catholic Church in the heart of Washington, DC. The weather was absolutely wild with sideways rain and blowing wind. Though, we still were able to have much fun creating some photos around the national mall (see opening photo to this post – made in the midst of a heavy downpour!). The reception was in a great ballroom at the Westwood Country Club in Vienna, VA. Here are a few images from their story:

.... you are surrounded by the hard, tangible evidence of what has happended in Colorado during the last twenty years. Immense subdivisions with names lole Sagewood, Summerfield, and Fairfax Ridge blanket the land, thousands upon thousands of nearly identical houses - the architectural equivalent of fast food - covering the prairie without the slightest respect for its natural forms, built on hilltops and ridgetops, just begging for a lightning strike, ringed by gates and brick walls and puny, newly planted treees that bend in the wind. The houses seem not to have been constructed by hand but manufactured by some gigantic machine, cast in the same mold and somehow dropped here fully made.

Plus Miguel Torres is annoyed with Jeff Curran:
He did a Q&A at a WEC event, and a fan asked him what he thought about Miguel Torres at 135. He said, 'I respect Miguel a lot, but he doesn't have anything for me. When I fight him, I am going to kick his ass and take my title from him.'Click here for the full WEC 40 card.
He's (also) called me out in my hometown. He came to a fight in my hometown, I wasn't at the show, and he got on the stage and called me out. He said he couldn't wait to get to 135 to take his title, and different things like that. Curran is just trying to hype a fight, and he is doing a pretty good job of it. But with a fight like that, I wouldn't train to beat Jeff Curran, I would train to hurt Jeff Curran. He's made me really angry in the last couple of weeks.

text: I came across this video and, I think if I can build a time machine and find this 1980′s Mullet-Sensei, I will be the UFC Heavyweight Champion in no time. With perfect form , 1980′s Mullet-Sensei absolutely destroys a cantaloupe with a series of elbows, headbutts and knees. He is clear that you can throw a headbutt until you are 80-years-old, and I am not sure if he instructs us to headbutt a bag for two hours a day to practice, or if he is making a joke. I wonder where 1980′s Mullet-Sensei is today? Director of the CIA? Maybe he was killed by Jean-Claude Van Damme in a fight on a burning bridge on December 31st, 1989 which ended the 80′s with a bang. Either way, I'm finding more of his videos to improve my striking game, see you in the main event of UFC 160!

1 posts tagged "SAG Awards 2013"
SAG Awards: Face-Off-------
They say the Screen Actors Guild Awards often help clarify the Oscar picture, as Hollywood's best and brightest are judged by a panel of their peers. If that's the case, then February 24 should be a big night for Daniel Day-Lewis, Jennifer Lawrence, Argo, and strapless floor-length gowns. On the beauty front, the show also seemed to indicate an uptick in side-parted glam waves, neutral lips, and sultry smoky eyes, although there were a few surprises to speak of. Below, we've outlined our favorite hair and makeup moments from last night's festivities and made things a little interesting with some friendly competition. Who do you think won best in beauty?
Statement Lips: January Jones vs. Claire Danes
And the Actor goes to…Claire Danes
January Jones gets points for the Bowie-caliber pompadour that she paired with her precisely lined crimson mouth, but Claire Danes wins this category with a completely out-of-the-box plum-stained pout that bordered on chocolate brown courtesy of a layering effort of Laura Mercier Lip Pencils in Coffee Bean and Deep Wine. Fall's embrace of the mulberry mouth may be losing steam, but don't be surprised if Danes' take on the color inspires a whole new crop of followers.
And the Actor goes to…Marion Cotillard
Short cuts have been the big story on the runway and red carpet of late, and the SAGs had a few moments of shear genius to speak of, right on cue. Freida Pinto showed off the beautiful cowl-neck of her lilac Roland Mouret gown with a rolled-under bob that we actually had to do a double take to determine if it was faux or real. There was no such confusion with Marion Cotillard's freshly chopped locks, however. Worn with a deep side part and featuring slightly asymmetrical front panels, Cotillard's cut wasn't just the best short story of the night, it was one of its finest beauty moments, period.

Manuel Antonio
Manuel Antonio is one of Costa Rica's most popular beach towns. This is the place where everyone takes vacations and in the main town, you'll find very few cheap options. The pristine beaches, soaring temperatures and the famous national park all draw in hundreds of thousands of tourists per year, but add to that the fabulous diving, nightlife and sports fishing, and it's clear to see why tourists flock to the area. Accommodation and activities are quite expensive in the area but there are a couple of hostels offering reasonably-priced dorm rooms.
Typical Costs
Favorite Destinations in Costa Rica
Learning Pura Vida
Getting Lost in Costa Rica
- Hostel Prices: Accommodation is expensive here but hostels are competitive at $10 USD per night in a dorm.
- Budget Hotel Prices: Expect to pay around $12.00 USD per night even for a budget hotel, though the service is typically very high.
- Average Cost of Food: There are plenty of good restaurants in the area, but staying within budget you can pick up meals for $8 USD on average.
- Transportation Costs: Taxis to Quepos will cost around $6 USD with the bus coming in at $.50 USD. On your return to Quepos, hop in a taxi with other people, and you'll only be charged $1 per person. The bus from San José takes 3.5 hours and also costs $5 USD. Flights from San Jose (one-way) to Quepos cost around $80 USD.
Money Saving Tips
- Eat off the beach - The food in this town is ridiculously overpriced. Don't go near any place close to the beach if you hope to save money. Instead, head up the main back street and eat there or take the short bus ride into Quepos. There is a lot of inexpensive, local food there.
- Eat at Musmanni – If you do eat in Manuel Antonio itself, eat here. Musmanni is a bakery found all over the country. The offer a great lunch special. For $2 USD, you can get a sandwich and a soda.
Top Things to Do
- Manuel Antonio National Park – Manuel Antonio contains a charming combination of rain forest, beaches, and coral reefs and is the second smallest nature reserve in Costa Rica. Increased tourist traffic has driven some wildlife away from the area but you can still get up close to capuchins, basilisks, iguanas and, if you're lucky, the Central American Squirrel Monkey. You can sunbathe and snorkel at the park's many beaches.
- Fishing - A sport fishing trip is one of the highlights for many people's Costa Rica vacation and given the astounding wealth of the country's marine life, it's not hard to see why. These trips are expensive, costing around $360 USD per day. That being said, you'll have the chance to fish for barracuda, marlin, tuna, snapper, and many species.
- Surfing – Manuel Antonio isn't as well known for its surfing in comparison to Jaco Beach or Hermosa but the breaks here are ideal for beginners and for moderate surfing. More experienced surfers can find better waves by travelling just a short distance outside of the city and Quepos.
- Go Diving – Local diving companies frequent over 20 dive sites around the coast. You'll dive amongst volcanic formations, a beautiful reef and all kinds of tropical fish. Night dives are available and are a great way to see the Pacific come alive. Expect to pay around $150 USD for 2 tanks.
- Visit Damas Island - A 30-minute boat ride from Quepos will take you to the jungle island of Damas. The surf is great here but the main attraction are the mangrove swamps which are home to crocodiles. You'll have to be brave to kayak through the waterways but there are plenty of boat tours available too. Other wildlife on the island includes boas, caymans, various species of birds and, on rare occasions, the silky anteater.
- White water rafting – The class III and IV rapids of the Savegre River make for an adrenaline-packed day. You'll pass through the jungle and see toucans, osprey, parrots and kingfishers as you make your way down the river. Experienced rafters should go on the Naranjo River trip as the rapids are a lot faster, making this more challenging. You'll pay $75-90USD for the Savegre and $69 USD for the Naranjo.
- Horseback riding – There are several horseback riding tours that take you across the beautiful landscapes of the area. You'll have the chance to take in waterfalls, beaches, jungles and hills on the trip. There are a few excursions throughout the day but the evening trip is the best.
- Whale/Dolphin watching – This tour will bring you to some of the most beautiful spots along the Pacific Coast. If you come at the right time of year (November to March and July to September), you'll have the chance to see Humpback and Pilot whales, one of the best experiences that nature has to offer. If conditions permit, you'll also be able to stop for a swim in a spot near some dolphins.
- Sunset sailing – One of the most popular excursions from the area is a sunset sailing trip. The sky is amazing and you might get to hear humpback whales and see dolphins along the side of the boat. Travelling on a catamaran is a great way to see the coast and get a different view of the National Park.
- The Gay scene – Manuel Antonio is a popular destination for gay travellers with its nude gay beach, liberal attitudes and lively gay bars and restaurants. If this is your scene then head to Tutu's Gay Bar and Gato Negro Restaurant. La Playita beach is the center of gay life in town during the day where nude sunbathing and swimming is the norm.
- Sit on the beach – The number one thing to do here is to sit on the wide white sand beach and get a tan. Despite the vast increases in crowds over the last few years, the beach has remained clean and beautiful. In January, there are good waves for body surfing and the beach's westerly view means beautiful sunsets each night.
- Zip Across the Canopy - There are no shortage of zip-lining opportunities in Costa Rica, and Manuel Antonio is another great spot to try it. La Selvita offers a series of 16 lines, the longest being almost half a mile in length.
- Tour a Vanilla Spice Farm - Pure and smooth, vanilla is one of the most popular exports from Central America. Here you can visit a local vanilla farm, and learn about the production process. Don't forget to buy a bottle!

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - A Rapid City woman had to be rescued after falling at the cliff at Falling Rock in triple-digit temperatures.
Authorities say the 18-year-old woman fell about 20 feet on Tuesday and injured her knee. She was unable to climb out of the canyon and became dehydrated. Paramedics got some fluids into her before using a basket to lift her out.
The woman was taken to a hospital to be checked. A family member said she was OK.
Authorities did not say what the woman was doing at the site west of Rapid City that is popular with climbers.

A southwest Ohio teenager could be disciplined if he doesn't stop wearing his Confederate flag belt buckle to school.
Cody Long said he started wearing the belt to Mason High School after the friend who'd given it to him died.
Other students noticed the large buckle, and some were upset by it.
"I don't like to pick fights that much," Long said. "I am not one to start them, but I am one to finish it."
School officials suspended Long after a fight over his belt buckle, and his mother said administrators told him he couldn't wear the buckle if he wanted to attend the school.
But Tammy Long said that was unfair to her son.
"Just because you are offended by something, doesn't meant you have to stop someone else from using it," Tammy Long said.
The school's dress code specifically states that clothing and grooming must not be disruptive to the teaching or learning process.
"We are committed to making sure that each one of our students feels safe and eager to come to school," school officials said in a statement. "For that reason, we have a code that outlines the way that students and staff should dress so that distractions are minimized and we have a positive learning environment."
Mason is an affluent town of about 30,000 people 15 miles north of Cincinnati, and it's about 85 percent white, about 9 percent Asian and about 3 percent each black or Hispanic.
Tammy Long said her son doesn't wear the buckle to show hatred for anyone, but simply as a tribute to his late friend and as a symbol of his individuality and belief in personal freedom.
"He won't be 'him' if someone continues to tell us how to be and how to dress and how to act," Tammy Long said.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON — Police and firemen racing each other on bouncy balls made to look like horses? It's not a sight many would expect to see unless they witnessed it first-hand at Hoosier Park Saturday evening.
It's where Madison County police officers and firefighters battled for bragging rights during the annual Gun 'n Hoses competition with games like tug-of-war and a jelly donut eating contest.
John Owen of the Madison County Sheriff's Department said getting around on those bouncy balls was a lot harder than it looked. But it was a fun evening, too.
"It's a great thing for the community, great for the officers and firemen, great for the camaraderie and great for the firehouse," he said.
All donations benefited the Fire Rescue House of Madison County. In total, the police and fire departments raised a little over $500. Hoosier Park donated $5,000.
Anderson Police Chief Larry Crenshaw said the department was glad to help and participate in some friendly competition. He added — jokingly — that the police department was tired of winning.
The joke may not be so funny now since the fire department won this year after a bitter defeat last year.
It came down to one jelly donut, Anderson Fire Chief Phil Rogers said.
"It feels good (winning) this year," he said. "Hopefully next year we can keep the bragging rights with us."
Fire Rescue House President Frank Caldwell said it was "a great night for us," adding that law enforcement and firemen enjoyed themselves and appreciated being able to support a good cause.
In addition to the money raised Saturday night, Caldwell said the Fire Rescue House has also received a $6,300 grant for new storage space at the Alexandria location.
With fires hitting families unexpectedly and indiscriminately, he said, it's a cause many people are willing to give to. And for that, he's appreciative.
From the beginning of 2011 to the end of 2012, he said, 23 families have been housed in the Anderson and Alexandria locations.
He added that they're in the early stages of working with local hospitals on briefly housing those who come into town for family surgeries.
Madison County's Fire Rescue House is also working with the Columbus Fire Department to help them start their own Fire Rescue House.
Columbus' Fire Rescue House is in the early stages and would be a huge help to families, said Mike Wilson, a Columbus firefighter.
"There is no Band-aid you can put on the feeling a family has when there's a fire, but we can help with healing process," he said.
The Fire Rescue House of Madison County temporarily houses families who've lost their homes to fires. "That void, that's what we fill," Caldwell said.
Curtiss McKissick, a firefighter with the Pendleton Fire Department, said he was glad to see the turnout and money raised.
"It's friendly rivalry (between police and fire). We love to hate each other," he said with a laugh. "It's a good time."

MADISON (WKOW) -- It may not be training camp, but students across the state who are keeping up with the Fuel Up to Play 60 program are getting a taste of what being a Green Bay Packer is really all about.
Learning healthy behaviors like exercising and including dairy, whole grains and fruits and vegetables in their daily diet will only help these young adults in the future.
"If you stay active and eat healthy right now, your body will be better able to handle the conditions you put it through throughout your life and stay healthier," says Tess Keyzer, an 8th grader at Little Chute Middle School.

Does anyone else think that this game isn't that big anymore? The reality is that with Nova's recent struggles this game truly isn't any bigger than either GTown game or the West Va game. Sure it had potential when we were ranked 2 and 3, but at this point, we're ranked 4th and they're ranked 8th. No big deal, should be just another game pitted between two top 10 teams.
The only thing that's really important about this game is deciding who's going to be #1 in the conference. Sure that's still a big deal, but it's not the armagedden game we thought it would be.
At this point, we can and SHOULD win this game.

— Ever since child-hood, Andy Cole has enjoyed the outdoors and the recreational pleasures it provides, like hunting, hiking and fishing. But over the past several years he has taken advantage of the natural materials it provides as well.
After graduating from Purdue University with a degree in landscape architecture, Cole decided to go out on a limb. He wanted to stick his passion into building rustic furniture with the hopes of one day branching out into a full-time business. If you leaf through a Timber Home or Living and Log Homes magazine, you likely will see photos of his work.
During the day, Cole works with his father in their family's concrete and excavation business. But most evenings he can be found working in his spacious shop tucked away in western Howard County. Forget about seeing him in any lumberyard purchasing his supply of hardwood. Instead, he selects his materials from the property of family and friends. With a little sweat and his own two hands, he will take a tree from blow-down to bookcase.
"I get to do two things at once," he said with a smile, "like scout for deer and look for logs."
His process begins with searching woodlots for storm-damage or other dead trees of suitable size and species.
"I never use anything that is alive," he explained.
Even though the trees may have died for one reason or another, he meticulously brings them back to life. His favorite choices of timber include walnut, cherry or hard maple.
"They are good woods because of their beauty and strength," he explained. "It's also nice because they are readily available."
After finding his material he then drags out the logs with the help of a skid-loader. He then cut them into slabs 2 1/2 inches thick. From here, they then go into his shop where he spends hours sawing, milling and shaping the wood, eventually crafting it into unique, one-of-a-kind furniture.

Goshen City Council members took the first step in what could soon be a universal approach to the way tax phase-ins are handled throughout Elkhart County.
During Tuesday's meeting, the council approved a new ordinance establishing a tax phase-in policy for the city that sets specific rules and requirements for how tax phase-ins will be granted moving forward.
According to city attorney Larry Barkes, the move is a result of several years of discussions and meetings between representatives of nearly every city and town within Elkhart County looking to come up with some kind of uniformed policy that all entities can use when granting tax phase-ins.
"What you have in front of you is a policy that is the result of representatives from the city of Elkhart, Elkhart County, Middlebury, Bristol, Nappanee, Wakarusa, and perhaps even Millersburg, to discuss and try to get a uniform approach to the tax phase-in policies that each of those communities have been using over the last several years," Barkes said. "As a result of those meetings, there were several items that were in agreement that have been incorporated into this ordinance."
Included among the items listed in the new policy were application fee guidelines that require all property tax phase-in applicants pay a non-refundable filing fee of $750 for each real property, personal property or vacant building tax phase-in application filed.
Next to be mentioned was the application form section, which requires all applicants to file the uniform tax phase-in application used by Elkhart County governmental entities to receive, process, review and approve property tax phase-ins.
"As a result of this process we would have a single application for the entire county," said Mark Brinson, community development director for Goshen. "I think that will simplify things for the companies and also for the people that are working with this in economic development."
Also included within the new policy was a section on wages. Under this section, the policy stipulates that property tax phase-ins will not be approved unless at least 70 percent of the new jobs created by the economic development project are above the Elkhart County median wage benchmark for all occupations as determined by the most current Indiana Department of Workforce Development occupational employment statistics.
While supportive of the overall concept of the new policy, councilman Ed Ahlersmeyer said he thought the 70 percent requirement for higher wage jobs might be going too far, suggesting that it could limit the ability of start-up companies with smaller budgets from settling within the county.
"I understand as a community it's important to have high-paying jobs, but to require it in any way is something that I disagree with," Ahlersmeyer said. "Some companies just starting out, they may only be able to provide low income jobs if they're smaller and looking for an opportunity."
In response councilman Jeremy Stutsman pointed to a section of the new policy entitled "exceptions," which allows the council to deviate from the new policy norms in the event it feels it would be beneficial to the city.
As written, the policy states that the council may grant specific exceptions to the stated policies in the new ordinance if the council determines a project will do any of the following: diversify the current economic base; encourage entrepreneurial activity; and/or produce jobs at a time when the Elkhart County unemployment rate exceeds 10 percent.
"The reason I really like this is this council and the previous council were very friendly... I don't think there was one phase-in that we didn't pass," Stutsman said. "I think if a company is getting public money, it's OK to have some stricter guidelines for us to look at. But it's also a policy. If we've got a company that we really like for some reason that doesn't fit into this, we can make that exception. So this doesn't tie our hands, but it does help to show people we're looking for slightly higher paying jobs to get this area a little stronger."

From Bonny Doon to Supermoons: our 39th annual survey of Northern California naked fun in the sun
07.16.13 - 3:13 pm | Gary Hanauer |
Below you'll find our annual update on the state of nude beaches in Northern California, along with detailed guides and directions to some of our favorites. For details on dozens more, please see our complete Nude Beach Guide at www.sfbg.com/nudebeaches, which we are in the process of updating.
While researching clothing-optional beaches in Jamaica in November, my girlfriend and I noticed that native Jamaicans don't think anything of stripping down to their underwear to take a dip in a waterfall on a hot day — our driver did just that near one of the nation's biggest cities, Ocho Rios — while visiting tourists can go topless or nude with hardly a complaint on Negril's seven-mile long shoreline of shimmering white sand, at the west end of the country.
It made me wonder, what if the same tolerance existed here, where each beach has its own traditions and its own set of rules? Sometimes, it takes as little as a person moving some sand or staying after sunset to annoy our cops. In Jamaica and many other parts of the world, that would never happen.
For example, law enforcement actions recently hit two Bay Area nude beaches — Marin's Red Rock and Steep Ravine — while most access to a third site, fan favorite Muir, near Stinson Beach, has been closed by authorities until November.
The good news: visits by rangers to both skinny dipping coves mentioned above have died back, while anti-nudity patrols at Monterey's Garrapata Beach, which erupted in 2011, have been discontinued. And the Guardian is publishing three "secret" alternate ways that die-hard visitors can use to reach the nude section of gorgeous Muir Beach.
Red Rock was rocked by a ranger who reportedly used a crowbar to remove part of a sunbathing "terrace" that beach regulars had built by moving sand to create more "towel space." He also cited two male beachgoers for violating Title 14, Section 4307, of the California Code Of Regulations, which bans removal of "earth" or "sand" from state parks.
The men are appealing their penalties, while their friends at the beach are asking for donations to pay for their legal fees. "We're going to take up a collection," says Stinson Beach attorney-teacher Fred Jaggi.
The ranger's boss, Bill Lutton, a state parks superintendent for the Marin area who visited the beach after the busts, told us that "altering" and "changing the features" of the beach is a serious offense. "We consider ourselves the guardians of seven generations of users of California's park system," he says, "so we must protect the parks' cultural and natural resources."
Meanwhile, instead of being charged with destroying park property, several people at nearby Steep Ravine Beach, which is open from 7am until dusk, were cited last fall for soaking in its dangerous-to-reach nude hot springs after sunset by the same ranger who raided Red Rock. "A guy was handcuffed after mouthing off to the ranger, so he really deserved it," says former springs frequent visitor Michael Velkoff, of Lucas Valley. "He almost took a girl away too."
Citing "safety and lack of lighting" concerns, Lutton says the after-dark curfew at rock-strewn Steep Ravine, where numerous users have slipped and sustained cuts, bruises, and other injuries, "will be strictly enforced."
And at Muir Beach, which is used by nudists as a gateway to a nude beach that begins on its north end, visiting hours have been officially eliminated until November 15, while crews improve its parking, toilets, and watershed.
I just want to thank you for such a nice complete and thorough article on area nude beaches. I was particularly pleased to see your ratings and that you had given good directions on how to get there.
Keep up the good work!

I've noticed this error since I saw it several years ago, but never thought it worth the trouble to correct. Bass Lake does indeed have bass in it, plenty of them in fact. If you wait a few minutes for the water to still after the naked frolicking has ended, you will see them. On several occasions my son has caught them,

I have to say, it took a while but these supplements have basically cured my acne for the first time in my adult life.
I tried taking just two a day but do need to take four for it to be effective.
Taking four turned my stomach a bit at first but I got used to it!

I have been using this product for a month now and it has not cleared or prevented any breakouts I switched back to my antibiotic for my acne. However this product made my nails and hair grow a lot faster. My hair grew extremely quick and made my hair shiny. I would buy these pills again even though they are expensive (42.00) because at least it benefited me someway, as for the acne this product was not good at all!
I am very disappointed in this product after all the hype, and the rave reviews I have read. I have used this product for 3 months, and have seen NO improvement in my acne-prone skin. It has not reduced breakouts, prevented them, or basically done anything that it said it would. In my opinion this is not worth the money. The only positive is that it is full of vitamins, but there are many cheaper options which do the same thing. Very expensive for what it is.

I tried this but I had a few side effects. A word of warning to all, taking four of these pills has enough vitamins in them that you shouldn't be supplementing beyond.

Murad! A very good supplement! Of course i bought this initially to clarify my skin, after 3 days of using it i BROKE out so badly! (WORSE THAN REGULAR) But, my dermatologist said that for supplements to take effect you need to continue it untill it runs ou! so i religously took it 2caplets in the morning and at night! After 4 weeks, i can see my nails are so pretty, my face is clarified a bit, and im not developing cystic acne anymore, the price tag is average considering it can substitue multiple supplement offered for general health! About the taste... i actually dont have any comment, it doesnt taste bad. Until i found a better supplement i will continue using and buying it!
currently im on my second bottle of this stuff and i still havent noticed a difference. i was so certain that i had found something that would help my skin stay consistently clear, but sadly no. just a complete waste of money. ive been taking it for over 6 weeks and my skin is exactly the same as when i started taking it. the pills taste bad too...i wont be repurchasing.
So, I think my skin actually got worse while I was taking these. Because like a week after I started taking them I got huge cysts on my cheeks, whereas before I really only broke out around my T-zone. I stuck it out though, for the entire bottle's worth, and it didn't improve. I was scared that my skin might get worse if I stopped taking it altogether, so I bought another bottle but I now take just one pill in the morning and one at night. The cysts have gone away but my skin doesn't look any better than before I started taking the pills. It's so disappointing to me because I really wanted it to work. Oh well.
I will say, however, that my nails have never looked better! And for that reason I will continue taking two pills a day until the bottle runs out but after that I probably won't bother.
I have intermitent cystic acne-(once in a while i get one or two) which is very painful and take forever to go away. Retin A helps, but since starting these supplements, they are going away. I am amazed, the texture of my skin is improving also. I tooke 4 a day for first 2 weeks, now I am taking 1 in the am and 1 in the pm, so as not to OD on some of the B's and also A. I highly recommend these for those with acne or even cystic acne.
Please note-I have taken extremely good care of my skin for a long time now, and these supplements are a great addition to my regimen.
will def. repurchase. (I don't think they are overpriced, because if you purchase the vitamins, minerals and other ingrediants sep. you will spend a lot more than $42.00)
I don't have cystic acne I have flat acne. Which is relatively unoticeable unless you are me! But over the last 4 months I have had horrible breakouts around my mouth. And I have tried EVERYTHING! Seriously! The expensive stuff and the cheap stuff! Now I am on prescription acne medication for 3months that is killing my skin. But I'm sticking with it cause the Dr. said it may get worse before it gets better.
I was shopping about a month ago and saw these supplements and figure I'd try them, cause I've tried everything else! I definitely saw an improvement in my skin but I wasn't sure if it was the medication finally working or the pills so I stopped taking them and within 5 days I had breakout all over again!!
I definitely won't make that mistake again! Yes the pills do smell horriffic but I just take them with a huge class of water, since hydrating helps your skin too, its a win win situation, right?
The only reason I didn't give the product a 5 is because my skin isn't perfect. . . YET!

I used this a few years ago VERY faithfully for several months. I didn't notice any improvement in my skin. I continued to take it, however, which was a mistake. Over a couple of months, I developed a severe heart arrythmia that the doctor, through blood tests and EKGs, was able to trace back to the unusually high amounts of minerals in this supplement. In particular, the chromium content is very high, which was what my doctor determined was causing the constant fluttering and stopping/ starting of my heart muscles (at the time, I was only 24 and had never had heart problems in my life, not even high blood pressure). I had to stop taking it immediately on the advice of my doctor. The lesson I learned from this is to be very, very careful with ANY supplement you add to your diet, especially one as potent as this one. And despite all the cash I shelled out, it did nothing for my skin-- plus I had to pay a lot for all the tests for my heart.

Sue became the first woman minister at the Union Congregational Church in Hancock, Maine in 1977. While at the Bangor Theological Seminary, she opened the curriculum to classes on gender, race, class, feminist theology, and feminist ethics. She also worked with churches to move the gay community from the margins to the center, despite resistance from some church members.

It was noted by Sarah's nominator that she is more the type to perform small acts of kindness, rather than be a part of formal groups. She does things quietly, such as sending care packages to troops, donating to the local food pantry, and shoveling for elderly neighbors. She is the type of person who rarely seeks recognition for her acts of kindness. Sarah is currently a first-year student at UMaine.

By Evan Lockridge
Shipments and new orders for manufactured goods in the United States both headed higher in May, according to a new U.S. Commerce Department report, easing earlier fears this important sector to trucking and the economy might be in for tougher times.
Shipments increased 1% from April to $483.6 billion, following two consecutive monthly declines. Included in this are shipments of manufactured durable goods, posting a 1.3% hike in May, up three of the last four months.
New orders for factory goods jumped 2.1% in May to $485 billion, the third increase out of the last four months. Included in this is a 3.7% increase in new orders for manufactured durable goods, also the third hike out of the last four months.
New orders for transportation equipment led this increase, with it spiking 10.9% in May from the month before. When the volatile transportation sector is removed from overall new factory orders, it posted a healthy 0.6% increase.
There have been concerns lately that manufacturing in the U.S. might be slowing, but this report, as well as one released Monday by the Institute of Supply management about June, show activity has picked back up.

News: Treach Drops 'Tall Midget' Vin Rock Diss: "F*ck Your Fat A**, You A Bagel Away From Barney" [Audio]
Wednesday, May 8, 2013 11:00AM
Naughty By Nature's Treach has stayed true to his promise of releasing a diss record aimed at estranged group member Vin Rock with his new, hard-hitting "Tall Midget" track.
Just over two minutes in length, Treach shows no remorse and goes fully in on his ex-pal of more than two decades.
"Industry rule number one hundred is funny, tall midgets get short money," Treach raps. "I can't, fire the owner because it's me and my deejay/Give a grown man time out, I'm out, buy my swag on eBay/Cash, I get it, grab it, feel the punishment from the savage/Legend, lyrical lord, they call you Uncle Adlib -- You outta my army, can't harm me, or alarm me/F*ck your fat a**, you a bagel away from Barney/You wack rapper, backstabber, so greedy/I'll make it so they'll never see your wack a** on TV/Time to find your own zone" ("Tall Midget")
Yesterday, Treach promised to drop his "Tall Midget" anti-Vin Rock record Tuesday (May 7) night.
"No NAUGHTY shows are Cancelled that's on the the Calendar!!," he tweeted May 7th.
"My Twitter Account wasnt Hacked!! I said it & Stand By it!!"
"Look for the reply to you Cant fire the Owner entitled " TALL MIDGET" Released Tonight!!" (Treach's Twitter)
Vin hopped onto the Naughty By Nature Twitter account to address his ex-comrade's comments.
"I'm waking to drama. Spoke to my publicist. Silence is Golden. In the meantime Business 101: You can't Fire the Owner ;-)," he tweeted May 7th.
"We'll definitely be rocking! Full Force! @Jexpo1976: @rootspicnic Will you have an act replacing @naughtybynature? Was pretty stoked on seeing those cats." (Naughty By Nature's Twitter)
Treach talked to SOHH a couple years ago and boasted about Naughty By Nature's longevity in the rap game.
"The fans have been asking for this. There's not too many groups that have been in the game like we have and still have a following. But the biggest ready why you need to get the album is because your n*gga Trigga said so. For you to have fans and to hear their passion for wanting to hear your music, I'm a fan of my own material. So I've been waiting to hear this as well. It's been ten years since the last album so it's finally time. The fans are never going to have to wait this long again."

Study Finds More Drugs in Our Drinking Water Than Anybody Knew
Doctors prescribe hydrocodone for pain. They recommend ranitidine for acid reflux, a diuretic called hydrochlorothiazide for congestive heart failure. But you don't need a prescription to get these drugs in tiny doses. They're found already in our nation's water supply — and, according to an upcoming national study, the largest done so far, in higher amounts than drug companies anticipated. We know how the drugs get there: Our bodies release them when we urinate or flush old drugs down the toilet.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — An Augusta woman whose 2-year-old son drowned in a pool after wandering away from home has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
Lisa J. Stocker appeared Thursday in Richmond County Superior Court and has been sentenced to eight years in prison followed by a 12 years of probation.
The Augusta Chronicle reported 39-year-old Stocker was initially charged with murder but the charge were later reduced.
Authorities have said the boy left home March 21, 2012 after his older brothers left for school.
A neighbor noticed the woman's dogs were loose and called the county sheriff's office. Authorities searched for the missing boy and later found him at the bottom of the family's pool.
