JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (WDRB) -- After spending more than $2 million on it, Jeffersonville could now rent city property for a dollar -- if you're the right tenant.
City leaders are arguing over whether to sell the property once intended for a canal.
One possibility is leasing a former used car lot to a fire truck museum -- for a buck a year.
But a question still to be answered is this: should the property bring many more bucks to the city?
"We forced businesses to leave. We forced people to leave their homes for the better good of Jeffersonville. So what's the better good of Jeffersonville?" asked city councilman Ed Zastawny.
He believes Jeffersonville should explore selling, for profit, property that includes a former body shop, the former used car place, a rundown but historic home and several vacant lots.
The city bought them for more than $2 million for the canal project that Mayor Mike Moore canceled a year ago. He "ripped up" papers describing it in a January 2012 news conference. Zastawny, councilman Mike Smith and two city redevelopment commissioners appointed by the council believe the property should bring economic gain, especially through property taxes.
"That means having a use for the property that's going to increase economic activity, increase assessed values, increase jobs and not give these properties away, especially the prime locations," Zastawny said.
"We've got an opportunity here that we need to move forward," Smith said. He mentioned the completion of the Jeffersonville ramp to the Big Four pedestrian bridge and the second Kennedy bridge as projects that could bring commercial interest to the area, between Spring and Michigan Streets.
The city, through the redevelopment commission, is proposing to lease two buildings, including the former home, to the Clark County Museum for a dollar a year for as long as 50 years. It's also looking to offer similar, but two- or three-year leases for the fire truck museum and an arts center on the largest parcels, commission president Monty Snelling said.
Those uses are exempt from property taxes.
"Parts of town may start to grow with shopping malls. Another part of town may start to grow with the Amazon building. This end of town is set up perfectly for an art/cultural district," Mayor Mike Moore said.
"Sometimes the city does things and offers things that may not bring in direct dollars, but indirectly the dollars do come in."
Moore calls it a "facelift" for the area, which he noted had lost long-time businesses even before the canal property purchases.
WDRB's Chris Turner asked, "Do you see that as the best use, long-term, for these properties?"
Moore responded, "I do. I do. I think it's something to really be proud of. Hey, if Channel 41 is here today talking about it. That's the type of thing that stirs, this stirs excitement."
The city still will need to bury huge underground water pipes in the area in place of the canal project.
Legal questions on leases to non-profit groups and the city's liability as a landlord are still to be answered, perhaps in a redevelopment commission meeting later this month.
The commission is looking to lease a restaurant in the canal property area. That arrangement should resemble more of a commercial business lease, Moore and redevelopment director Rob Waiz said.

Wait, what do you mean where have I been? Oh, yeah. I sort of disappeared and left you all in suspense. I hope you were able to eat and sleep as you waited in anticipation for this moment.
See, we've been dancing the Viral Waltz and as in any good dance, we've been changing partners over and over and never quite getting to the end of the song. I was afraid to get to close to the computer for fear that I might send our illness over the Internet and infect your computers . . . that's what they mean about computer virus, right?
Alright. Nevermind.
Hey! We have a winner. After using a high tech process of typing everyone's name onto strips of paper and dumping them in a bucket, our Master Of Ceremonies took over.
When he refused to spill the beans as to who had won, his Vanna took over. And after a record breaking 6.4 second down and out brawl, we finally found our winner!
Without further ado, because I'm not one to be long winded . . .
Our winner is geri! Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll get you your prize.
Thanks everyone for entering. After being approached about this giveaway, I had nightmares about no one entering. But, I'd say it was a success. We'll have to do this again!

Her solo tours have featured this as well. One SXSW performance took place in a church, where she began her set with an a cappella rendition of "The Wind That Shakes The Barley" that grabbed the audience and held them for the duration of her showcase. During the tour for Who Killed Amanda Palmer?, we saw a show in Detroit that began with an announcement of her death, followed by a funeral procession that ended with her being lifted from the crowd to perform. And her last Amsterdam performance (being the first since her arrest here), opened with her performing N.W.A.'s "F**k The Police" on a ukulele in her bra and underwear.
Her ukulele has been a part of her ongoing musical evolution as well, finding her at the forefront of the uke punk revolution after performing her "Ukulele Anthem" at various Occupy events. But the story continues.
She has proved to become an expert at marketing and promotion, so much so that it has gained notice from everyone form major publications like Wall Street Journal and Forbes to music industry marketing gurus like former Ministry drummer Martin Atkins. And her latest album, book and tour were funded exclusively by Kickstarter, where her $100,000 goal was reached and eclipsed, ultimately raising well over a million dollars.
Which brings us to the present day, where Palmer is entering a new realm, that of the full-fledged frontwoman, fronting the Grand Theft Orchestra on her latest album, the perhaps not-so-honestly titled Theatre Is Evil on 8 Ft. Records.
Starting with an intro that reminds me of a more theatrical version of the intro to Jane's Addiction's Ritual De Lo Habitual, the album immediately slips into "Smile (Pictures Or It Didn't Happen)," a majestic track that is lush, luscious, luxurious and a host of other "lu" words, setting a big expectation for what's to follow.
The expectations are met and exceeded over the course of the next hour as Palmer presents herself as an almost completely new person from the piano pounding chanteuse who started with the Dresden Dolls, She is alternately a pop star, a swaggering rock and roller and a vaudeville MC in front of a full-blown event, as songs like "The Killing Type" with its Cars-styled guitars (free download) find her attaining the true status of the bold vocalist fronting a band, taking all of its sound and channeling into her, and back out through her vocals and persona.
Many tracks take broad sweeping soundscapes from the Grand Theft Orchestra that weave effortlessly in and out of more straightforward pop and rock-styled sounds, like "Do It With A Rockstar" (free download) and "Want It Back" (free download) mixes thick shoegaze-inspired dream pop with raw rock-fueled bursts
Elements of the Palmer that has come before remain in tracks like the piano-fueled "Trout Heart Replica" and "Berlin" which are definite remnants of the Who Killed Amanda Palmer Era?, benefitting from the added elements of a band, but still staying just as true to who she was as to who she is.
The album is presented in two acts, in true theatrical form, with the driving dramatic instrumental "A Grand Theft Intermission" splitting the record in half, but not heavily dividing the two halves. After the instrumental, it hammers into the synth-powered "Lost," another track where Palmer once again revels in her true ability to run the show.
In an album loaded with high points and distinctive sounds, it's hard to pick out one that stands higher than any other, although "Melody Dean," where Palmer takes a crack at "My Sharona" would have to be one. But truly the album's cohesion during varied sounds, coming together and coming apart at various times, show that Theatre is Evil is a complete work rather than a collection of songs. Thought has gone into its construction as a whole, and not just getting a bunch of songs slapped down and calling it a record.
By the end of the album's closer, "Olly Olly Oxen Free," Palmer is clearly complete and comfortable with her latest incarnation. She is like this generation's David Bowie by way of Siouxsie Sioux, a punk rock powerhouse of a frontwoman who is comfortable with any sound, and not tied into the sounds she started with, highly content to embrace the evolution of her sound, and to get rid of the old as she progresses past it. Her old sound is gone, but the new sound is a solid replacement. If this were the end of her musical evolution (although based on her history, I highly doubt that's the case), it would be an apt end, leaving Palmer as a much higher musical life form than the one she began as, with no compromises or losing sight of credibility along the way.
And rather than viewing Theatre is Evil as the end of the punk cabaret, it's probably more fitting to view it as the next wave. As the founder of the sound, Palmer retains the right to redefine its sound. As she progresses, so does it, and the next wave of the sound appears to revolve around solid sonic composition while retaining its flair for the dramatic. It's a sound more dependent on its theatrical nature than its basic sound. The theatre is there, so the cabaret remains.
Indeed, if Amanda Palmer and the Grand Theft Orchestra truly believe that theatre is evil, it would make them one of the most heinous bands in existence, because the band embraces a lush theatricality and raises it high, so the album title is either tongue in cheek or a bold confession to their wicked, ways.

This is all the news report said.
Purdue announced sophomore wide receiver O.J. Ross has been suspended from the team indefinitely for failure to adhere to team policy and rules.
Ross' status for the Dec. 27 Little Caesars Pizza Bowl against Western Michigan has not been determined.
Ross had 33 catches for 356 yards and 3 TDs for the Boilers this season.
Well, that is a bit unfortunate. Does anyone have any more information?

I Think he stays put at least one year unless he loses his rivalry game and has another bad loss on top og those like what should have happened in the Akron game last year. A bad year and more recruits bailing for other schools especially The Ohio State University in the case of the Weber Kid will be his demise. But all in all i think he has one more good year to make excuses.

I love the Fresh Start attitude lets try to forget about last years defense.....PLEASEEEEE LETS GET IT STARTED SO THE THERAPY CAN BEGIN. UNFORTUNATELY THAT WOULD MEAN THE END OF SUMMER SO I WILL WAIT A LIL LONGER LOL.
I agree also that some of our problems last year was scheme but if every dude losses you in the open field regularly some burden has to be put on the players. There were several moments where Buckeyes players had opprtunities to make plays but they simply wiffed. I pray that the scheme was so bad that it put people on Islands without help and we got burned repeatedly due to it. But I also pray that its just not our talent is simply over hyped due to our fandom. Just a realistic opinion. GO BUCKEYES!!
Let me see he put on more weight and muscle and got faster? Was he faster or stronger before this gain? Because I seem to remember a big tight end from Iowa leaving him in the dust like the Road Runner IJS some of this stuff just makes no sense i know its off season but sheeezzz?????
hurt sorry
Words can desribe How much I love this and how much attention this will grab. Bout time Matta got on board with this. Losing all these games will not hut this schools chances of making the dance unless they are truly garbage which they have proven not to be under his reighn. Should definitely help with recruiting exposure.
lOVE THE PICK UP AND THE GAME GET THAT KID WORKING ON HIS LEFT HAND EXCLUSIVELY IS THE NEXT STEP
My problem is I never know who is actually going to play. Don't get me wrong I love the Job matta has done overall with the program and I am not saying i could do better but I don't think certain huys lack of playing time prepares them for tough games later on. Mich st and even teams like Fentucky play their guys and they get valuable experience and adjust to the speed of the game faster than the Buckeye players to me. the Buckeyes seem to level off and do not increasingly get better like I see with other elite programs. not saying it happens with every program but the Buckeyes are the only one I care about
I totally agree blind hope is all good but i need results
Let me preface I did not read all this article. I saw Tavis Powell and instantly said to myself huh this is a story about bad angles and looking not to have a clue. One play does not a career make
May i ask the question? Why is this tossing the ball around speed so enamored? Last I checked the Alamaba Crimson Tide did not run a spread and they definitely don't throw the ball all willie nillie. They have a power running game eliment and speed at overall positions. So sure it may be exciting to watch Oregon play but last I checked they have not won Jack and can't even seem to consistantly beat a slow foot Stanford team IJS
Some of you guys are so die hard. Dontre did not let him win he got smoked. Just admit it the rumors of his speed have been greatly exxxxxxagerated!! VIVA LA OHIO BORN SPEED!!
Hopefully we can land Turner and lesson the blow of me having to watch Amir any more than I have to. Maybe even the kid from Va Tech as a transfer. Anything but Amir again you cannot win with that kid against real talent that you will face tournament time.
I have to wonder and worry that I am not hearing more about the young guys in the trenches where games are won. We can have all the weapons we want if you don't win the battle up front these guys will be nothing more than wasted talent on both sides.
We can assume nothing due to defiencies in this years team that no doubt will caryy over. You can never assume freshman wi ll do anything until they prove it and as we have seen MATTA has a recent history of not letting them play. Add to that the lack of simple physical strength on the unti as a whole. I am very diappointed at the strenght and conditioning of this team. Far too many frail young men on this team and we are talking guys that are about to be seniors and have been in the program for extended periods of time.
Why are we blaming Amir when somebody on the OSU staff recruited this soory excuse for a center kid
Whats score?
Amir needs to compose himself to explode everytime how is that not fixed three years in. Can't wait til that era is over
what is the score
Its about time we started talking about The Basketball bucks and their strength and conditioning. Who is it? He should be fired. Not only Q but Sam Thompson too. these guys body type look the same going all the way back to Buford I have not been pleased with a lot of the bucks growth. these guys play hard but get physically dominated by teams who are visibly bigger and stronger than them? I know these guys could probably run for days but how about sitting them some and building some mass.
Great article indeed but to play devils advocate in the all bust list how much of this can but directly attributed to Matta's blatent lack of playing time for some guys. I also agree on how you define impact. I think Oden's signing springboard alot of the outside talent matt'a gets. Sulley was in the fold reguardless. Now this Buford thing i am indifferent on because in my opion he was the classic underachiever. Played for years w/out a significant impact. I'm sure no young men are going there because william Buford went there except for relatives lol ok I will give you Toledo.

It's a given that a healthy Tommie Harris is the starting 3 Technique tackle for the Bears, but who'll get the nod at the nose tackle?
I all but assumed Anthony Adams would win the job. Last year after replacing an injured Dusty Dvoracek, Adams play was solid. In four starts, after Dusty went down, Adams had 17 tackles (he appeared in 9 games in '08 and had 21 total tackles). In the 12 starts Dvoracek had, he compiled 29 tackles. Adams just seemed to be more disruptive last year. Taking it a bit further, in 2007 Adams played in 11 games with 8 starts and had 26 tackles. I know tackles aren't the only way to gauge a defensive tackle's effectiveness, but Adams seemed to get more consistent penetration.
Larry Mayer of chicagobears.com predicts that Adams will start. He also had an interesting take on the future of Dvoracek (as pointed out by GeauxBears). Mayer predicts Dvoracek will be around in 2009, but I think he's on the bubble.
Over on ESPNChicago; Jeff Dickerson, in a recent edition of his mailbag, predicts that second year Marcus Harrison will get the start at NT. His thinking was:
"... this is not my personal view of how the depth chart should look, but rather, how I predict the coaching staff feels about each position."
Interesting... I wonder who he personally thinks would get the nod at NT? I thought Harrison had a productive rookie season picking up 28 tackles and a couple of sacks while in the DT rotation all year, but I didn't know him starting in '09 was even being considered by the coaches. Maybe Jeff Dickerson knows something we don't.

With the rise of insurgent terrorist group ISIS in Iraq, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart mocked the reemergence of former Vice President Dick Cheney, calling him 'America's Tragedy Herpe' returning to give advice on how to handle the troubled country.
Opening with Star Wars 'Imperial March' theme, a resigned Stewart said, "There is America's tragedy herpe, Dick Cheney…. Alright, Dick Cheney, tell us how we have done everything wrong since you left office and, if you would, do it from in front of a Sears portrait studio backdrop, whilst your Sith apprentice stands in an eerie silent vigil, go…"
Stewart then showed a clip of a stiff Dick Cheney standing in front of a field, wearing a cowboy hat, and reading from a teleprompter while explaining that the Middle East was following apart under the Obama Administration.
Mocking Cheney, Stewart added, "My point is, if you send federal revenuers up here, we will defend our land."
Wondering if "America has tired of Dick Cheney's blame game," Stewart showed a clip of Cheney's appearance on Megyn Kelly's show where the Fox host told the former vice president, "history 'has proven you got it wrong."
A smiling Stewart said maybe now Cheney will understand how it feels when "someone you thought was a friend shoots you in the face."

That may be a simple realization, but it took a lot of work to fix in a reasonably elegant and comprehensive way.

One of the hardest things to do when supporting users is to stop and really listen to both them and to yourself. It is relatively easy to simply answer the question or address the concern, basically to "fix" the problem. Honestly, it is very much the same experience men often have in relationships.

The high fidelity email rendering provided by CoexLinks Fidelity 3.6 is often viewed as primarily about appearance, but it is also about preserving data integrity. This demo shows a number of examples where actual data loss occurs when certain elements are sent via email and rendered by either the IBM Notes 9.0.1 client or the IBM Domino 9.0.1 server.

My husband and I traveled to Malaga, Spain for my very first European vacation. Having traveled the world before we met, my husband was eager to show me one of his favorite countries: Spain. It did not disappoint! Eating late and afternoon siestas make for my kind of place! For a portion of our trip we stayed at Los Amigos Beach Club Playamarina in Malaga - a great place to relax and then drive around the countryside and take in the Mediterranean. They had a night club there and we'll never forget the singer who was joking around with the audience while his fly was undone and his shirt sticking out of the zipper. We all thought at first it was on purpose but then he just kept singing about 5 more songs and we're all laughing and snickering. He finally caught on and nearly fell off the stage laughing from embarrassment. It was hysterical. With all of the beautiful architecture, wonderful food, and gorgeous weather, THIS is what I remember from Spain?! Yes. It was really funny, but maybe you had to be there?

In a contest in which has brought us some of the best Caps MLS matches, regardless of score, it will sure be a cracker. Last year some memorable matches against the Quackes were the 2-1 victory with Dane Richards scoring a beauty, and of course (arguably) the best Caps match and maybe even the best match in MLS with under 3.5 goals, the 2-1 victory with Hassli's injury time winner. A game that to this day gives me chills watching the highlights. I hope we can replicate another win, and if its on the table, a memorable match.
In my earlier article, #CapsFacts, I showed that the Caps are seriously scoring less goals late on, whereas San Jose is known for their late match antics. Another key point to watch is Mister Chris Wondolowski. The "Caps Killer" as the new (and not as good) Caps reporter, Farhan Devji (thank God for copy and paste on that name, huh) points out, has been red hot against our hometown team, netting 7 in 6 overall matches.
But enough about the enemy, lets talk about the heroes. Our Caps center back trouble took a spin on it's head when Brad Rusin was injured last week in the match against the Portland Timbers and is Grandmother passed away, RIP, but Andy O'Brien looks to be finally back after
years months weeks of struggling (it feels longer) with injury. Kenny Miller, Gershon Koffie, and Jun Marquez Davidson are all up for choice as well.
Now, the Predicted Starting Line-Up:
Ousted, Harvey, Leveron, O'Brien, Lee, Reo-Coker, Koffie, Kobayashi, Teibert, Camilo, Miller
Predicted Score:
2-1 for the Caps (gotta go with the past)
Teibert (31), Lenhart (54), Camilo (89)
Russel Teibert slips in his first match since L.A. after receiving a smooth ball from Koffie into the far right side of the box. Russel fakes the cross and charges in along the baseline. The San Jose Earthquake defence anticipate the cross, however Teibert curls in a low ball into the far left corner. Steven Lenhart fires in just after the 45 minute mark, with a powerful strike into the top of the net from close in. The chance is created off a free-kick, in which Wondo's foot accidentally clips the ball, leaving it to fall right onto Steven's hard kick. Ousted and the defenders with no chance on a flukey goal. Camilo with some late game heroics after Kekuta Manneh's through ball into the path of the wee Brazilian is perfect, but Camilo decides to cut inside and powerfully strikes it top corner. A great match!
Good Luck Caps

When I wrote a piece previewing Mike Bisping's most recent fight against Jason Miller and posted it on Bloodyelbow.com, I got quite a lot of criticism for suggesting the Brit would win pretty easily against a severely under matched opponent. In large parts of the MMA media and online community, it sometimes seems like people's dislike for "The Count" confuses their judgement of his abilities. Well, this weekend at UFC on FOX 2, Bisping has a chance to prove his detractors wrong by defeating a legitimate elite middleweight, before a massive mainstream audience and earn the chance to fight for the title. For Bisping fans like myself, this fight has the feel of being the main event this Saturday.
Picture from MMAmania
Recent History
- Bisping is on a 4 fight win streak with his most recent loss coming at the hands of Wanderlei Silva.
- He has finished his last 2 fights by TKO.
- Sonnen lost to Anderson Silva by triangle at UFC 117 while appearing to be ahead on points, having successfully grounded (but not necessarily pounded) the champ.
- Sonnen was suspended for having elevated testosterone levels after the fight but returned with a dominant submission victory over Brian Stann.
Micheal Bisping gets some stick for just jabbing and moving but there is much more to his approach than that. Those who criticise his style overlook the fact that he does have the right combination of aggression, power and work rate to finish fights (more than 80% of his wins are by TKO or submission) as well as the cardio and endurance to go the distance when necessary. Bisping fights with a very mobile and dynamic Muay Thai. He employs great movement to avoid big punches and avoid being taken down (cue GIFs of Dan Henderson knocking him out at UFC 100). Once people get a hold of him, Bisping has shown that he is tricky to get to the mat and harder to keep there.
One fight that I feel will gives us a clue into Bispings chances against Sonnen was his bout with Rashad Evans, way back at UFC 78, Rashad had some success with taking Bisping down but really struggled to keep the Englishman down or make it pay off. Evans ended up winning a split decision of course and it was some time ago, but there was proof there that Bisping is not the kind of strike-centric fighter who provides fodder for strong wrestlers. In fact, it make have been the fact that Rashad was able to hang with Bisping to some extent on the feet, that helped him sneak the decision.
With Chael Sonnen you know what you will get. He has great wrestling, with an ability to shoot from distance or wrestle Bisping down from the clinch. He is uncommonly gifted at smothering guys so that they cannot work (it took Anderson Silva four and a half rounds). He does not, however, possess great power and, untill the Stann fight, had not demonstrated the ability to submit guys at the top level.
Head to Head
It is absolutely astonishing that Mike Bisping started at 4-1 to win. Sonnen himself has been pretty vocal about the fact that the Count wins fights. Chael Sonnen's record is pretty vocal about the fact that he loses fights. No, this fight represents a step up in class for Bisping since his last few fights but he does belong in this level of fight.
I already said that this fight has the feel of the main event about it. One of the biggest areas of anticipation is around whether Chael can take Bisping down, or more likely, how frequently? After that, how long can he keep the Brit there and can he do any damage? Realistically, a guy like Chael Sonnen will take you down. I feel like this fight will go similarly to Bisping's fight with Rashad Evans, except for the fact that Sonnen does not possess the standup game to present Bisping with problems. "The undisputed, undefeated champ" will be successful in taking Bisping down, but I don't think he will be able to hold him there, much less finish him there. That leaves the bits of the fight in between. I am pretty sure Bisping will comfortably out strike Sonnen and that his movement will keep the fight on the feet long enough for that to matter. The balance in this fight will be between the take downs of Sonnen and the amount of aggression Bisping is able to show on his feet. Oh, with the joker of a possible submission from Bisping from the bottom.
I am really unsure, I really think this will be a close decision. I suppose I think Bisping will be a little busier, so I'll go for Bisping by split decision.
Why watch it?
It's one of the strangest, love/hate personalities in the sport against the best fighter Britain has to offer (or the most hated fighter in the UFC, depending on how you look at it).

Tribal lion tattoos look like the head or entire body of the mighty lion, with the hair and mane deftly drawn in the thick, black, yet somehow graceful lines of the tribal art. Because lion tattoo designs are so popular, even some of the better tribal lion tattoo artists are beginning to vary the work by using a touch of color or varying the bold lines with a more delicate touch.
Other artists lean toward a lion tattoo design that is even more specialized. A Celtic lion tattoo will look like a lion, to be sure, but manages to work in the knotty patterns and intricate corded look so celebrated in celtic art. Likewise looking for creativity, some body artists will feature symbols familiar from heraldry: the lion dormant (lying down), passant (walking), statant (standing all four legs down) or a rampant lion tattoo which has the king of beasts on hindlegs with front claws in the air.
Perhaps the most well known artwork is the Lion of Judah tattoo. Usually thought to stand for Jesus Christ, this lion design takes many forms, but all of them are both ferocious and dignified. In Christian literature, C.S. Lewis popularized the image of the lion as a symbol of Christ in his Narnia tales and that visual image is usually a lion on gold or on green background.
Some people think if one is going to have a lion ornamentation, it should be as large and commanding as the animal itself. Thus, popular spots for lion tatoos are the shoulder, hip, back and thigh. Some are in black and white, some feature the beast in his deep golden native color, but all are intimidating and quite beautiful.

It's not every weekend Valdosta State football coach David Dean can scout hundreds of high school players in his backyard.
Coach Dean held his passing camp Saturday afternoon at Bazemore Hyder Stadium. 27 High Schools from Florida and Georgia took place in 7 on 7 passing competition all day. Coach Dean says the camp gives him a chance to see recruits in a much different perspective.
"We get a chance to evaluate them live, see how their attitude is mixing and mingling with their teammates and how they keep pushing when the heats starting to hit on them and they play four or five games. You really get a good look at their heart which you don't get to see a lot of the times when you're going through the recruiting process" said Dean.
Valdosta State will kick off the 2009 season at home August 29th at 7:00 against Newberry.Feedback

Pulse Report: Vida Guerra & Kim K Butt Outta Instagram, JR Smith's Power 105 Pimp Smack Threat, Cassidy Makes Birth Control Swag-less
Friday, Dec 21, 2012 2:45PM
In this week's Pulse Report, we see why two big butts and a smile are killing Instagram, watch the most hilarious back-and-forth feud between J.R. Smith and Charlamagne Tha God, see how Cassidy makes people "not" want to use protection and oh SOHH much more!
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
1. Snap That, Snap That
To be honest with y'all, I never really took the time to get down with Instagram, I barely even know how to use Twitter but the buzz over the past few years has been what stuff someone throws up on there. Quite frankly, what's so ill about taking a modern-day photo and making it look all old and ancient? LOL. Maybe it's just me, I'm more into looking at things in the future. Well, as the story goes, Facebook put up $1 billion to buy Instagram earlier this year and now everyone is seeing those effects getting ready to go into motion. You have nice photos? Pay Instagram! Want to show off your intimate shots of your spouse? Pay Instagram! Got some special holiday moments? Pay Instagram! OK, so maybe "you're" not paying Instagram, but the folks over there are trying to cake up off your photos. Here's the spewl:
Instagram changed some of the wording in its Terms of Service, which doesn't explain exactly how the company might use the photos. It says "you agree that a business or other entity may pay us to display your username, likeness, photos (along with any associated metadata), and/or actions you take, in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions, without any compensation to you." The new policy goes into effect on Jan. 16, 2013. (ABC News)
It didn't take too long after this announcement before errrry doggy and their parents vowed to ditch Instagram for good. You name it, they bugged out. LeBron James, P!nk, Tyler, the Creator, etc. BUT(T) the only two peeps talking that caught my attention came from the Vida Guerra and Kim Kardashian. Looks like they're taking their ass-ets elsewhere!
"Come join me on Viame/vidaguerra and forget about Instagram can't believe they want to make money by selling your image" (Vida Guerra's Twitter)
Kim K isn't convinced ... at least not yet ... and is telling friends she's thinking about shutting down her Instagram account, going to a rival photo-posting company ... and taking ALL OF HER FOLLOWERS WITH HER. It's a big deal ... considering KK has the most followers of any Instagram user at 5,726,343 ... way past Justin Bieber (4,366,729) and President Barack Obama (1,834,079). Plus, if Kim goes ... her family members could follow ... and Khloe, Kylie, Kendall and Rob are also in the Top 10 most followed on the site. One source close to Kim tells us the reality star is planning on waiting to see the revised T.O.S. before she makes her final decision ... but unless she sees some radical changes, she's outtie 5000. (TMZ)
As if you needed more reasons to ditch Instagram? LOL.
2. Blue & Orange
Any doggy that comes on here knows I bleed that blue and orange, so expect me to ride with anything bearing the N-Y-K on it. Therefore, no matter how much I think Charlamagne Tha God is funny, I've got to give the props to JR Smith for going ham on him through Twitter. LOL. Turns out the hottest Knick behind Carmelo Anthony kept his shots dropping (Swwwwissssssh!) on the recently relocated North Carolina native. CTG may have got the first couple of giggles, but Smith made sure to snap back just right. Peep the hilarious Q&A:
What did you do to get it? RT @TheRealJRSmith: #S/O to my big bro liltunchi for the #TrukFit instagr.am/p/TEjtbetfFq/
You know the rule you can't post any pics of Trukfit without showing the receipt are we will just assume you sucked d*ck for it.
@cthagod you mad late kid! But I ain't bout those games!#Dontplayyaself
See when people do ish like that causes for people to get hurt!#DontGetHurt stick to being the funny gut on the radio#Straightlikedat
See. This why I root for the Nets. RT @TheRealJRSmith:@cthagod you mad late kid! But I ain't bout those games!#Dontplayyaself
#Knickstape RT @TheRealJRSmith: See when people do ish like that people get hurt! #DontGetHurt stick to being the funny guy on the radio
My Twitter Location Is So Accurate.
@cthagod bet that where u at then
Don't worry I'll wait!
My Twitter Location says "Under Your Skin" that's where I am currently. RT @TheRealJRSmith: @cthagod bet that where u at then
@cthagod yea I thought so! Don't worry every time I see you ima Smack!
Why do I have this affect on people?
And I'm a SUE!!!! RT @TheRealJRSmith: @cthagod yea I thought so! Don't worry every time I see you ima Smack!
@cthagod so
This n*gga @TheRealJRSmith is threatening me like the Knicks are having a losing season.
So anyway back to doing me!
I would never let me piss me off.
3. Moment of the Week: Cassidy Releases "Condom Style"
I rock with Cassidy hard body but Meek Mill said it best, "Condom Style" is probably the worst track I've ever heard in my life. Just because Lil B makes an album called "I'm Gay" doesn't mean the content will translate over and that is obviously the case with Cass. I'm glad that he's trying to do things to stay relevant and can appreciate his decision to promote safe lovin' but this track? SMH... No way, José! This had to be the biggest moment of the week. Bonus points to all of y'all that couldn't help but repeat the chorus, "Stroke 'em condom style!" LOL!!!
This bad chick, her name Stephanie,
Said her destiny is to f*ck with me,
She pressing me to have sex with me,
But Stephanie could have STD.
She start to kissing and caressing me,
Yes, she was sexually molesting me,
But having sex unprotectedly is like putting your life in jeopardy.
So I'm strapping up, open the wrapper up,
And put the Magnum on before I smash the junk
She was kind of mad that I had it on,
But no, I ain't going raw on that nasty junk.
I don't care if she said "I'm not infected"
Cause I don't wanna have her say that "you got me pregnant"
A lot of bad ones want you to go off,
But you don't know, you out of luck.
And I don't act tough, she told me go off,
But I say no, you never know.
She could share the club tomorrow, I don't care,
There are so many things wrong with this song. For starters, Cass, you've gotta leave this to another rapper. Your flow and corny rhymes killed any message you were trying to make. If maybe the lines were harder and didn't come across as some PBS hip-hop special? Maybe I'm being too hard on Cass but there's honestly nothing I can co-sign this song about.
4. Mrs. Butterworth: Mileena Hayes
Apologies, but I can't recall if Mileena has gotten placement on here or not. There's been a nice, respectable cast of Mrs. Butterworths since this launched in 2010, but Mileena is at the tippy top. She's got a beautiful smile, body galore and what seems to be a personality that you could bring back home to your mom. She alomost reminds me of a Spanish Stacey Dash. Her body speaks for itself, so bow down and pay homage to this dime.
And y'all know Mileena has a stash of videos on deck. Enjoy!
5. Rappers Say The Darndest Things
I really wish SOHH would have covered some of the comments that came out of Rex Ryan's mouth after we got embarrassed AND eliminated from the NFL play-off hunt by the Titans of all teams. SMH. But, you live and go on. It's that time of the week where we put the magnifying glass up to your favorite entertainers and remind you how human they really are. Frank Ocean may have made a great stride in the music game with his bisexuality announcement, but trying to say you may have one-and-done the music biz? SMH. LOL. Stop it. Then there's T.I. who really had me scratching my head. I'm sure he got caught up in the moment, but talking about the CT shooting is why you kept guns/weapons on you at all times? SMH. C'mon, doggy. How come you made sure new album artwork show you gripping a gun then? Then it's some rapper named AP.9 saying he's smashing Coco. LOL! Ice-T might not have ended Soulja Boy's career (I think he did), but don't think that he can't have AP.9 blacklisted at a lot of spots. That "Law & Money" paper stretches. Of couse we have Bow Wow talking about smashing Esther Baxter when he was a teenager and then Ma$e saying he made Diddy famous. LOL. Welcome back to "Rappers Say The Darndest Things!"
"It could be. It could be it, if I flew next week and my plane crashed! It could be it if somebody walked along and shot me for my bracelet or something. It could always be it. The idea of recognising your strengths and using them in as versatile a way as you can is cool to me. I don't ever want to be caught up in a system of thinking I can do one thing cos that's just ... that's just telling yourself a lie. But I do like to sing. I play piano every day. I enjoy that."
"It's a tragedy and it's a travesty, it was a catastrophic event. My heart goes out to the families. As a parent, there's no way that you can hear or see or observe something like that go on and not be touched in your heart. Just to know somewhere so sacred, somewhere that is supposed to be completely off limits to any kind of wrongdoing, something like that can happen to kindergarteners -- I don't want to run the risk of sounding inappropriate but that is exactly the reason why I had mines. At any time, if anybody calls me, anytime, when I had mines, I'm pulling up with 'em and the whole perimeter will be secure and ain't nobody moving but us. ... I haven't been to the military but I'm very militant-minded when it come to protecting."
Ice T's gonna be pissed ... 'cause rapper AP.9 is now strongly insinuating that he's banging T's wife Coco. Coco said the pics were harmless ... and stated that she's "happily married." But this weekend, AP.9 was shamelessly trying to breathe life back into story ... because when he was asked about the rumors he was still bangin' Coco, the rapper looked into the camera like he LOVED the attention and said, "That's a RUMOR? Is that a rumor?" He added, "No comment man." When asked if he was worried about retaliation from Ice -- AP.9 shot back, "I'm from the hood ... I'm not worried about nothin'."
"I lost my virginity at 16 to a girl I knew I couldn't turn down," Bow Wow said in an interview. "Is she famous? Maybe to a lot of dudes. She's like one of those Smooth models. Uh, look, the homie over there laughing! [laughs] Okay, all I gotta say, I don't care, she knows it's the truth. I'ma say this, first name starts with an 'E' and last name starts with a 'B' that's all I gotta say. That's all I'm gonna say."
"We just put our heads together and Puff said he was gonna be the artist," Ma$e explained to Sway. "I stayed in the studio, helped write and he came up with the records. He wanted to do the records that I wrote and he just started rapping on 'em and then he said 'I'ma put you on the record with me,' so that's how it happened. Everything I had for myself that was like my demo, that became his album. Then I was thinking, well, 'how can I do it again?' He worked with me to become the artist that I became, doing Harlem World, so it was just a collective effort."
***Go ahead, let's hear it. The New York Jets had one of the most horrific seasons I can remember. It's not so much that we didn't compete but just the games they played, it really looked like playing your elementary school lil' sister in Madden 13. When the Jets struggled against the WORST teams? SMH....but at least there's the New York Knicks and the New York Yankees to look forward to. Can y'all believe 2013 is on deck? Last-minute Christmas shopping too, g'luck out there trying to find parking. Don't sleep on Wal-Mart, either, there's some gems in there. I'll catch y'all on Christmas with Cap Diss. Enjoy the weekend! --BB***

The commercial and legal logic of David Beckham's move to Real Madrid has the potential to confound both seasoned observers of the game and lawyers alike.
In particular, there are two such issues that go to the heart of the arrangement, one legal, the other commercial. The legal one is: what are these 'image rights' that have caused Real Madrid to pay so much money? The commercial one is: why should a team as packed with stars as Real Madrid pay around e25m (£17.5m) (plus bonuses), together with a princely 'wage' (football's working class ethos having always eschewed anything as middle class as a salary) to secure Beckham's services? This article will describe how the answer to one question leads directly to the answer of the other.
Image rights
A core element of the transfer was Beckham's 'image rights'. According to newspaper reports, when playing for Manchester United, Beckham's £70,000-a-week 'wages' were supplemented by a weekly payment of £20,000 for those image rights. Further
more, he supplemented those earnings with a further £10m generated from personal endorsements and sponsorship deals with commercial giants such as Adidas, Pepsi, Police sunglasses, Vodafone and Marks & Spencer.
On his move to Real Madrid, it is said that Beckham will continue to be paid a wage comparable to that paid by Manchester United, will keep some of his existing personal endorsement contracts until their expiry and will receive 50 per cent of any revenue generated from his image rights.
While clearly having immense practical value, image rights are not recognised as a species of right under English law. As Cambridge University's Professor WR Cornish puts it in his book Intellectual Property (fourth edition, paragraph 16.34), English law "steadfastly refuses to adopt any embracing principle that a person has a right to his or her name, or for that matter, to identify a characteristic such as voice or image". Therefore, the conventional English law position is, and in essence remains, that there is no such animal as image rights.
This no doubt explains the extreme scepticism which greeted image rights agreements (and payments under those agreements) between English football clubs and players during the early 1990s. After the rush of money into the English game following the first Sky deal in 1992, the Premier League had the opportunity to buy the best European talent available. While a transfer fee was something everyone understood, the way in which top players were paid differed in Europe from England. European countries, unlike England, do respect image rights and players coming from those countries expected to be paid for them.
This caused the Inland Revenue no end of tongue-in-the-side-of-the-mouth perplexity. It did not understand how players could be paid for rights that their lawyers were telling them did not exist. It was all too aware of the sometimes 'colourful' ways in which some football clubs did business. It suspected that this was a device, on the part of clubs and players, to pay players large sums of money tax-free, benefiting both club and the player.
The doubt and suspicion over the nature of image rights culminated in a decision by the Special Commissioners in April 2000. In Sports Club, Evelyn and Jocelyn (Arsenal, Bergkamp and Platt to you and me) v HM Inspector of Taxes, the Special Commissioners considered whether payments for image rights were payments made for valuable consideration or whether they were simply a tax dodge.
The Special Commissioners held that the image rights agreements were genuine commercial agreements. While adopting the traditional English approach that image rights as a species did not exist under English law, the Special Commissioners found that the name 'image rights' did not adequately describe the nature of the agreements. By image rights, what they thought was meant was that "image rights were the ability to make money out of contracting with companies to do things for them, and were an opportunity to make money out of the fact that one was very well known… What in practice [Arsenal] was getting from the promotional agreement was a series of contractual obligations both positive and negative; positive in the sense
that the player would, if called upon to do so, do certain things like endorsing products or going to photoshoots, and negative in the sense that he could not undertake such activities for others."
While not recognising image rights as a creature of English law, the courts in the Arsenal, Bergkamp and Platt case, and more recently in the Talk Sport case, have come very close to recognising the substantive content of such contracts. In Irvine v Talk Sport, the defendant radio station had embarked upon a promotional campaign using a promotional flyer which was distributed to media buyers bearing a photograph of Eddie Irvine clutching a portable radio, to which the words 'Talk Radio' had been added. The photo itself had been doctored from one in which Irvine was holding a mobile phone. Irvine complained that the use of his image in that way represented actionable passing off.
He succeeded. In the first instance, Mr Justice Laddie accepted that the reality of the marketplace was that manufacturers and retailers pay for well-known personalities to endorse their goods, and that the law of passing off should recognise this. Using Irvine's image without payment, therefore, was tortious and actionable.
Showing scant regard, however, for the "realities of the marketplace" Judge Laddie awarded Irvine £2,000 in damages, which he considered was a reasonable endorsement fee. The Court of Appeal, while agreeing with Judge Laddie's analysis of the law, showed a rather more seasoned eye for the realities of the marketplace and upped his fee to £25,000.
Therefore, albeit uncomfortably, image rights of the kind exploited so successfully by Beckham have come to be recognised as legitimate interests capable of protection by the English courts. In this respect, however, the English courts have lagged behind their Continental counterparts. In Spain, Article 18 of the Spanish Constitution entitles anybody to forbid the commercial use of their name other than for purely purposes of information. Real Madrid would have a very shrewd idea of what it was doing when it signed Beckham.
The second question that we now turn to is: why would a team such as Real Madrid, peppered with stars as it is, feel the need to spend so much money to secure Beckham's services? The answer is pure economics. In a fascinating article in Soccer Analyst in 2002, Jean Berg and Fabrice Rousseau of Eston & Co Strategy Consulting asked the rhetorical question: "Is Zidane worth more than e69m?" Again, this was in the context of a huge transfer fee paid by Real Madrid.
The acquisition of French international Zinedine Zidane was in financial terms even more striking than that of Beckham. e69m (£48.4m) represented 60 per cent of Real Madrid's 2001 turnover. In playing terms, Real Madrid was not doing badly. The club had won the Champions League in 1998 and 2000 and the Spanish title in 2001.
The authors concluded: "Zidane's transfer does not stem from a desire to improve the sporting value of the squad. Its rationale comes from the player's impact on Real Madrid's turnover. By combining Zidane's image, the club enhanced the value of its brand. The transfer's profitability is highly dependent on the club's ability to optimise the management of the brand, rather than on the sporting results of Zidane. Real Madrid can afford to pay e69m for the player because the club is able to generate above-average income streams from Zidane's image."
Looked at that way, the Beckham transfer fee is almost a bargain. Already Real's kit manufacturer Adidas has reported a 350 per cent rise in demand for the club's replica shirts. Thus, even if Beckham finds himself a spectator rather than a participant in many games, he was still proven to be an extremely shrewd investment for the world's most successful club.

Bit.Trip Runner 2 review: video star
By Chris Plante on Feb 28, 2013 02.28.13
Runner 2's biggest improvement is a smoother difficulty curve Bit.Trip Runner 2's broad appeal starts with 3D environments seemingly plucked from a computer-animated children's film. The peppy soundtrack calls to mind the best songs from the iPhone's casual catalogue — which might sound like an insult if you haven't heard tunes like this one. But a new, smoother difficulty curve proves the most inviting change to Runner's side-scrolling formula. Runner 2 coaxes you along by gradually introducing new abilities. At first, you have to focus on jumping. Then you're jumping and sliding. By the end, you're jumping and sliding and kicking and loop-the-looping and batting projectiles all within a second. After only a few hours, I was a running pro, accomplishing inhuman feats that seemed...

Gaijin Games has launched a free-to-play endless runner based on the Commander Video character, best known for its appearance in various retro-style Bit.Trip games.

Gaijin Games developing Runner 2 for Vita to put it in 'as many people's hands as want to play it'
By Dave Tach on Jun 12, 2013 06.12.13
When Gaijin Games released Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2: Future Legend Of Rhythm Alien earlier this year, it did so simultaneously on several platforms: Windows PC, Mac, Linux, Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and Wii U. Notably absent was the PlayStation Vita. This summer — hopefully sometime between mid-July and mid-August, according to the developers — Gaijin will release Runner 2 for Sony's handheld. We caught up with Danny Johnson (game designer), Chris Meyer (artist) and Dant Rambo (associate producer) at E3 2013 to play an early version of the PS Vita version and learn how and why the colorful platformer is making its way to Sony's handheld. A small, independent studio doesn't have the resources to do everything it wants to, Johnson explained. Though the Vita version has...

Bit.Trip Runner 2 devs working on Wii U bugs
By Megan Farokhmanesh on Mar 02, 2013 03.02.13
A new update from Gaijin Games founder, Alex Neuse, details several fixes for the newly released Bit.Trip Presents Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien on Wii U, including a bug that locks up the console. Neuse announced the patch, which is currently in progress, via the Gaijin Games forums. Some Wii U owners have been experience a bug that locks the system after quitting the game or powering down through the Home Menu. According to Neuse, it's possible that the problem is "not even [their] bug." "We had never experienced this issue on our devkits, during development, so it seems that this is an issue that only occurs on retail Wii Us," Neuse wrote. "This makes it super gnarly to debug." The patch also includes fixes for leaderboards, settings, false score reporting and more. B...

Bit.Trip Runner 2 coming to PS3 March 3, Vita this summer

The PlayStation 3 version will be available at at 20 percent discount for PlayStation Plus members for its first two weeks, though the price hasn't been set yet.

VEEDERSBURG, Ind. — The first two possessions, one by Seeger and one by Fountain Central, set the tone for the game as the host Mustangs won by the score of 56-13.
Seeger opened with the ball on their own 20 and, on the second play from scrimmage, saw Cole Blessing go down with an injury. After an incompletion, the Patriots punted, giving the ball to the Mustangs on the visitors' 44.
As Fountain Central broke the huddle, the Seeger coaches called out to their team to beware of a particular pass play.
The coaches got it right, but the Patriot players did not. The Mustangs completed a pass from Koby Pierce to Ethan Woodrow for a gain of 16 yards. On the next play, Pierce threw to Jared Fishero — who broke free for 28 yards and a touchdown.
So it would go for much of the first half. Seeger would be backed up, starting inside their own 20 for most of their possessions while Fountain Central played on a short field and threw the ball at will.
To make things worse for the visitors, the Patriots lost another player to injury — Aidan Hoskins — in the second quarter.
Seeger head coach Tom Cook said he is afraid it is likely that both Blessing and Hoskins will be out for the rest of the year.
With their team having to adjust to the missing players, the Patriot coaches were kept busy trying to get players into their proper positions. They had no real chance of doing much more than going with basic plays.
Meanwhile, the Mustangs seemed able to execute just about anything they wanted to try.
"We practiced great last week and tonight we came out and played very crisply," said Fountain Central coach Brian Moore. "I don't know a better way to say it than 'crisply'. Our offense got quick strikes."

The regulators of the Federal Government are poised to haul up financial firms numbering eight who were not part of the February Settlement regarding foreclosure abuses.
Recently a senior official of the Federal Reserve suggested that fines should be imposed on these additional entities. This has raised question about how far-reaching and deep the problems have spread roots in the mortgage world.
Moreover complaints have been coming from judges and lawyers that the people are continuing to lose their properties despite submission of defective documents and other errors in foreclosure procedure – frequently involving these firms.
The firms referred to by the Federal Reserve are HSBC (US branch), Sun Trust Bank, Goldman Sachs, MetLife, OneWest, EverBank, PNC Financial Services and U.S. Bancorp. Suzanne G. Killian of Division of Consumer and Community Affairs of the Federal Reserve (senior associate director) said that fines should be imposed on them for their "unsafe and unsound financial practices in their loan servicing and foreclosure processing" while speaking to the legislators in hearing of House Oversight Committee in Brooklyn.
This recommendations have come after two-year long investigations conducted regarding charges that the banks have been submitting piles of documents related to their foreclosure cases without checking on its authenticity; in other words they were indulging in robo-signing.
Many think that this move of the Federal Reserve is to nudge them on to accept the conditions of the broader settlement of February worked out between the Feds and attorneys general of states. While the settlement talks were proceeding the regulators had contacted other entities also, hoping that they would give the nod to the settlement terms.
The main focus during the settlement talks had been on the five mega banks who agreed to monetary compensation and other terms but they did not admit to their wrongdoings. Although pledges were made by them there are indications that the foreclosure issues remain problematic with other mortgage firms. Dubitable documents were traced back to these eight entities by the New York Times.
New York State Supreme Court judge, Arthur M. Schack has found out fraudulent papers relating to foreclosures moving through courts. Even after excoriation of the mortgage services by one judge in a state, similar type of documents are being used – as per investigations.
Few months ago in 2011 December Judge Schack threw out a foreclosure suit of U.S. Bancorp after it was found that Kim Stewart, an employee of the bank, was wrongly involved in the documents submitted.

It was kind of like watching a Tyrannosaurus rex chew apart a building in a monster movie.
A wrecking crew for New England Construction went to work this morning, Aug. 30, tearing down the indoor pool area of the Bayside YMCA in Barrington. The sounds of the wood being splintered by the jaws of the excavator drew ears and eyes from 50 yards away.
The demolition and cleanup will take several days, said Carl Brown, project manager for the Bayside YMCA expansion project. The indoor pool will then be filled to make way for construction crews.
The existing facility will remain open as the first phase of the expansion project – construction of the new Aquatics Center – takes place.
"We know it is an inconvenience for our members," said Sandi Carney, fundraising manager. "But by building it one phase at a time, we could keep the building open."
Carney said that fundraising for the $6.7 million expansion will pick up again in the fall. The YMCA has raised about $5.9 million so far.
