N.A.A.C.P. To Chall[enge] [F]lorida Primary Law Line of Action Not Yet Announced Similar Statute Passed By Texas Legislature Cited HONOR MEMORY OF DR. C. H. PARRISH. By Mrs. R. B. Butler. A most deserving honor was the unveiling of a slab in memory of Rev. C. H. Parrish, D. D., April 30, 3:30 p. m., at Calvary Baptist Church, sponsored by the Young People headed by Mrs. Mayme Morris. Music by Young People's Choir. Revs. Paul Cayce and Scott led the devotionals. Early history of the church by Mr. Louis Britt, Rev. Parrish was called as Pastor Sept. 27, 1885.

Scott and David Anderson. Prof. H. B. Britt said Dr. Parrish was a loving kind and affectionate shepherd. A great preacher, with a great message, broad, unselfish, generous and helpful. He gave the best to the Master. Dr. J. R. Sampey, President Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, said Dr. Parrish as a member of the Baptist World's Alliance was appreciated, was held in esteem and admiration. His Christian character and how he held his place among all classes was great. Miss Emma Franklin sang "On my journey Home" with much feeling. Rev. W. P. Offutt spoke of Dr. Parrish as a religious leader, stating that Dr. Parrish's influence and worth was recognized in America and across the waters; said he knew Dr. Parrish as few men knew him, always helping people to press forward. As a citizen, Col. P. H. Callahan said Dr. Parrish was a man of worth, highly respected, along all lines, broad, dependable, and generally called in council in many instances with both races. He told of Dr. Parrish's trip to the Holy Land. He had heard him tell how the keepers of the ministers took pleasure in showing him around. He made friends easily and held his own with any audience. As an educator, Rev. L. A. Offutt knew him better than other men. Saw him under the most difficult problems of Simmons University. However tired or perplexed he kept a cool head. A business man, J. E. Smith said Dr. Parrish put himself out along any line that would promote good business. He was a staunch promoter of both Insurance Companies established by Negroes. Miss Sunshine Hawkins told how Dr. Parrish was a friend to young people, always patient, willing to listen and help. He was our pastor, father and friend. A telegram was read from Mr. Edd Axton expressing regrets. It was through Dr. Parrish that (Continued on Page 4) GREENVILLE CANDIDATE WINS PRIZE AS FIRST PERIOD OF CAMPAIGN ENDS.

The Police Court was overflowing an humming with commotion. Seemingly every public official except Mayor [illegible] and his cabinet were [present?] [illegible] stand stood [illegible] outstanding lawyers, wondering and waiting. The question in the minds of all being whether the defendant would beat the charge of drunken driving. The chances were, as most bets indicated, two to one in his favor. He had done it once previously. The gavel sounded and the legal battle was on. On one side stood Judge Henry Fox, special prosecutor, backed by the potential testimonies of the several witnesses. These included the arresting officers and the [occupants?] of the truck which Tucker is alleged to have hit. On the other side, looking [illegible] confident, were former Judge [illegible] Funk, defense counsellor, ]Eubank?] Tucker, and the defense [witnesses?]. The faces of these were just determined that Tucker would get it as the other were that would. All witnesses for the [prosecution?] testified that it [was the defendant?] who on April [illegible] the car that he was [illegible] the rear end of a truck [illegible] at 6th and Main Streets [illegible] stepped out of his [illegible] witnesses claimed that [illegible] "staggering" drunk.

[illegible] [Tucker?] took the stand he refuted all the testimony that had been said against him. He painted a vivid account of his activities of April 19, and as for his being drunk, he said he had but one bottle of beer. Defense witnesses collaborated his story of not being drunk. Concerning the test, the defendant exclaimed that the test had proven itself inefficient and he chose not to take it, as was hi s constitutional rights. When asked the cause for his bitter tears, Tucker said it hurt him severely to be treated by the police "as a common criminal." As each question was fired at the defendant, in like fashion did he answer them. The trial lasted well over an hour. At its conclusion, both defense and prosecuting attorneys were fagged out. Judge Funk, a 300 pounder, seemingly had melted down to a flyweight. Looking very bored at the proceedings, Acting Police udge [Hargadon?] asked if all was finished. Being given an affirmative answer, he defiantly gazed at the defendant and bellowed " '9-19' to [illegible] served on week-ends." Impossible as it may have seen [illegible] Tucker lost to 'nine-nineteen.' MRS.

Radio Round Table To Discuss Negro CRANK ACTION; COURT ACTION. Being a gentleman, Frank Moore, 215 R. Guthrie, decided to allow a charming young lady to share his umbrella last week since they were going the same way and she had no umbrella. Happily she consented and merrily they went. In an automobile following the couple was the boy friend of Moore's newly found friend. She espied the recently jilted boy friend, Henry Walker, 634 S. 9th Street, and told Moore. The automobile pulled alongside the walking couple and Walker, with crank in hand, jumped out. As he held the instrument above the now freely perspiring brow of the gallant Moore, he exclaimed his undying love for the woman. Taken aback at such action Moore swore out a warrant. In court the jilted Walker was put under a peace bond. Kills Wife Then Attempts Suicide JEALOUSY SAID TO CAUSE ACTION Husband Found Badly Wounded Embracing Murdered Wife Everett Clay, 28, 1200 W. Oak, lies in the hospital near death and his wife Carrie, 21, is dead. Clay, charged with manslaughter, is alleged to have mortally wounded his wife Tuesday afternoon, with a razor cut inflicted on the throat. and then attempted to take his own life by the same method. Witnesses claim the cause for the drastic action was sheer jealousy. The two had been separated for some time. Clay is said to have called on the women seeking a reconciliation. This being denied he slashed her throat with the razor. He then tried to escape over the fence, but being unable to mount the wall, and escape being cut off, he slashed his own throat. Staggering and blood pouring from the wound, he fell upon his wife where police found them, he embracing her. WOMAN FATALLY SHOT OVER MAN Bertha Britt, 1036 S. 15th St., was held without bond in the fatal shooting of Geneva Conway, South 15th St. The shooting, taking place at the home of the deceased, ended an argument between the women which is alleged to have been over a man, loved by both women. Geneva, shot on May 9, died at the City Hospital Sunday, as the results of a bullet would inflicted in the stomach. The defendant informed The Leader that she and the late Miss Conway had had two arguments on May 9 over the affections of the gentleman in question. The first, happening at noon, resulted in no blows being passed, however Miss Britt claimed Geneva pulled a gun and she flashed a knife. At 5:30, the same day, the Britt woman said on making a visit to see a cousin, the same address as did live the loved man and the deceased woman, the two women met and a fight ensued. The defendant pulled a revolver from her purse and fired once, the bullet missing. They were parted by the man. She took one final shot at Geneva, hitting her in the stomach. The woman was rushed to the hospital, dying five days later. Bertha Britt, charged with manslaughter, faces the grand jury on an early date. 100,000 White Voters Help Elect Woman To Board of Education HERBERT AGAR TO SPEAK SUNDAY.

The subject: "Democracy." The committee in charge of the hour says the meeting should be one of the choice and most thought provoking of the series because of Mr. Agars wide background of travel and experience.

The Standard Grill, West Village
848 Washington Street
West Village
New York City , New York
Tel: 212 645 4100
Concierge.com's insider take:
Searching for solid cooking in the Meatpacking District is like expecting honesty from a politician: Instead of aiming high, most restaurants here pander to the lowest common denominator. The Standard Grill gives us hope for a new era of restaurant integrity in the neighborhood. Wedged under the High Line park, on the ground floor of the aggressively trendy Standard Hotel, it defies expectations with excellent food and a buzzy, inviting room. Chef Dan Silverman (formerly of the Lever House Restaurant and Union Square Café) riffs on the dining room's American chophouse decor—vaulted tiled ceilings, semicircular leather booths, a floor embedded with thousands of copper pennies—with a menu of classic grilled dishes zapped with international touches. For the traditionalist, there are oysters, charcuterie plates, an iceberg salad, and a succulent prime rib for two. More flamboyant palates will enjoy the appetizer of octopus tossed with sweet potatoes and chiles, the chilled white gazpacho with pickled grapes and almonds (Spain is an obvious influence), and the grilled trout served with a relish of pine nuts and currants. Silverman is especially talented with vegetables: His salad of haricots verts—simply dressed with yogurt, cinnamon, and fried shallots—is freshness defined, and every table gets a free dish of patatas bravas, potatoes drizzled with a smoked-paprika aïoli. Yes, free. Indeed, the most pleasant surprise about the Standard Grill is that it's very reasonable (few entrees top $25), especially considering its gouge-'em-and-leave-'em neighbors. On the down side: The room is loud (all those tiles and pennies don't help), and the front door is easily overwhelmed. That's expected in the Meatpacking District, of course. But in terms of culinary achievement, the Standard Grill raises the bar.—Peter J. Frank

NUCHAS EMPANADAS: Do cry for me Argentina
Dear Food Diary:
It just so happens that Evita is playing in Times Square, diagonally across from Nuchas (an empanadas stand developed by my fellow paisano, the Argentinean born Ariel Barbouth). I grew up eating these oven baked pockets of goodness and was thrilled to finally have an interesting quick bite before a show. But in the end, I walked away singing "Do cry for me Argentina". The truth is, they made me I miss home even more… *sigh*
Mission Chinese Food NYC: "things that make you go hmmm"!? (CLOSED)
Dear Food Diary:
A couple days ago, Underground Dining and I tried the new "chinese food" joint in town. Their SF restaurant has great reviews, so as you can imagine, it was all the buzz when they landed in NYC. I love the food of my peoples and I'm always open to unique and creative twists to classics, but somehow, Arsenio Hall (I'm dating myself, oh well…) took over me while walking out of dinner … "things dishes that make you go hmmm"!?
TACOMBI: love the decor, the tacos not so much
Dear Food Diary:
Let me start by saying that I'm a big fan of Aaron Sanchez, and I was really hoping Tacombi could be my go to spot for tacos. With such a whimsical VW Combi (hence the clever name!) in the middle of the casual/warehouse setting, it's hard not to fall in love at first sight. Unfortunately I can't go on gushing about the food or price.
Yogi Korean Tacos cart in midtown
Dear Food Diary:
I was pleasantly surprised to see this cart at the corner of 47th and 3rd ave yesterday . I love Korilla, but the truck is hardly around Midtown East and when it is, the line is insane (for good reason). Yogi on the other hand is a cart, there "permanently" during lunch time (for now at least).
RAMEN MISOYA: "Me So" Salty!!!
Ramen Misoya took over that "doomed" spot on 2nd Ave, right around the corner of St. Mark Place. Over the years, this narrow little space has hosted a number of eateries, none memorable. There's a tv screen on the back showing you the kitchen, sort of like an open kitchen I guess? Though nothing beats sitting at Totto Ramen's counter and watching them torch the pork and prep your ramen.
The menu consist of 3 different types of miso(miso paste is made with fermenting rice, barley and or soybeans with salt and fungus. Different combinations/fermenting time/preparation make the types of miso).

Defendant Falsified Audit Submitted to National Institute of Health
CHRISTOPHER K. MA, 35 of Seattle, Washington, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to the five days he already served in prison, three years of supervised release, 240 hours of community service and a $5,000 fine for Making False Statements. MA was employed by a local biotech company, when he knowingly submitted false audits to the National Institute of Health, which had provided substantial grant money to the firm. At sentencing Chief U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik said, "...instead of working it through with the agency, he (MA) took the quick and fraudulent way out."
According to the plea agreement signed December 1, 2008, MA served as the director of business affairs for Syntrix Biochip, Inc., DBA Syntrix Biosystems, Inc. an Auburn, Washington, biotech firm. Over the last seven years, the National Institute of Health (NIH) awarded the company $7.5 million in grants for cancer research. In July 2006, an NIH grants manager requested a copy of Syntrix's audited financial statement. The audit was required by NIH policy. After two weeks with no reply, the grants manager asked for the name of the audit firm in order to obtain the audit directly from the firm. The grants manager then received a seven page report purporting to be an audit for 2005. The subsequent investigation revealed that MA had fabricated not only the audit, but the audit firm as well. MA had used a pre-paid cell phone for the fake audit firm's phone number, and he created false photocopies of checks to make it appear that the firm had been paid for the audit. MA also created fake e-mails to make it appear that he was corresponding with the firm about the audit. Additionally, MA submitted to the NIH project ledgers that contained false entries, including entries pertaining to fictitious companies. The ledgers indicated various companies had been paid out of Syntrix funds, when if fact the money had gone to MA for his personal use.
In requesting a prison term and fine, prosecutors wrote to the court noting, "the Court should account for the brazen nature of Mr. Ma's conduct, and the extraordinary lengths that Mr. Ma undertook to attempt to deceive the NIH. Mr. Ma created a false audit report from whole cloth under the letterhead of a fictitious accounting firm. He composed fake e-mails and an invoice, and obtained a cell phone number for the purpose of making the fictitious accounting firm appear legitimate." Prosecutors added that MA's actions had created problems for Syntrix and one of MA's previous employers who had to demonstrate to the NIH that other funds had not been misused.
The case was investigated by Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigations (IRS-CI) and the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General (HHS-OIG).
The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Susan Loitz and Thomas Woods.

Polly Toynbee of The Guardian has been voted 'the most influential' commentator in the UK in a new poll from Editorial Intelligence, the media analysis firm which specialises in monitoring 'the Commentariat'.
Polly Toynbee came top in both a 'free' vote asking people to name who they ranked most, but also top in the 'highly influential' category from over 50 regular bylined daily or weekly UK national newspaper and online commentators.
The Editorial Intelligence top 10 commentators with the highest influence are:
Julia Hobsbawm, Chief Executive of Editorial Intelligence and co-author of the forthcoming report 'The Power of the Commentariat: How much do Commentators influence politics and public opinion?' said:
"Our poll findings clearly show that Polly Toynbee's influence is perceived to be huge in British public life. In our forthcoming report a number of opinion formers in politics and public life have gone on the record praising her for combining forensic journalistic research with heart-on-sleeve opinion. It is perhaps for this reason that her columns resonate in Whitehall and beyond."

A book by Jonathan Evison
< read all 1 reviewsI really tried to like this story, especially having read so many positive reviews on Amazon. But I just couldn't get with it. Firstly I tried to like Benjamin Benjamin Jr., the main character but seemed to find him too much of a loser. He spent many years with no ambition and then when his funds are running out, he takes a job as the caregiver to Trev, a boy with a degenerative disease at virtually minimal pay.
Benjamin and Trev like to make fun of other people and ogle women at the mall. They use expressions that were hard to understand even knowing the reference like "I would like to give her a Gaylord Perry." Now I know that Mr. Perry was a baseball player known for putting foreign substances on baseballs but I couldn't figure out what it meant in the context of the story. Benjamin's and Trev's conversations are rife with expressions like this.
I did find slightly interesting the map that the two put together of interesting places to visit and Trev's weird encounter with the lady "acrobat." Things like this kept me from rating this book lower but I still struggled through this book and found it dragged in many places. Overall I give it three stars.

"Listen to me: everything you think you know, every relationship you've ever taken for granted, every plan or possibility you've ever hatched, every conceit or endeavor you've ever concocted, can be stripped from you in an instant. Sooner or later, it will happen. So prepare yourself. Be ready not to be ready. Be ready to be brought to your knees and beaten to dust. Because no stable foundation, no act of will, no force of cautious habit will save you from this fact: nothing is indestructible."
— from The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving
The weekend of my sister's sixteenth birthday, she took a road trip with some friends down to Lucerne Valley in the Mojave Desert. For two weeks prior, the trip was a source of debate around our dinner table. My old man reasoned that since she was a responsible kid, got good grades, fed her pets, and honored her curfew, she ought to be allowed to take the trip. My mother reasoned that it was a bad idea. She didn't trust the other kids. They were a scraggly bunch.
My sister took the trip. She never came home. She was killed in a freak car accident the weekend she turned sixteen years old. The incident, the specifics of which have never been explained satisfactorily by anyone, all but exploded my family. My parents divorced after twenty-five years of marriage. I lost what amounted to my primary caregiver. My oldest brother was deeply depressed for two years afterward and was really never the ...

Prospect Profile: Beau Bennett
Earlier this week, our friends at The Pensblog asked us to pen up a our yearly draft preview for their guest post Wednesday segment.
In that article, we made our endorsement for the Penguins to draft Beau Bennett of the Penticton Vees. Last night, Ray Shero made our hope come true when he selected Bennett at #20 overall.
So who is Beau Bennett and why did we give him such a ringing endorsement?
Let's start with the following disclaimer: if you were hoping for a prospect that was going to step in and make an impact at #20 within the next two years, you did not get that wish with this pick.
That said, our superstar centers are locked up long term, and we need to begin the process of re-tooling the shed so that we can have cheap and talented wing options from within the system. Bennett is the first step in that direction.
There was not a signle player in the BCHL within the last 7 years that scored more points as a rookie than Beau Bennett. He lead the BCHL in scoring as a rookie and made a huge impact immediately. He registered 41 golas and 79 assists in 56 games last year.
The knock is that the BCHL is a complete write off to some people. I even read one comment that accused Bennett of "poaching points." The BCHL is not the CHL, we get that, but the fact that Bennett stepped in to a very competitive league and made such a vast and immediate impact is what we're focusing on. It's not about the points that he scored, it's about how he scored those points.
Bennett himself has a plethora of offensive abilities that should have Penguins fans drooling over this pick. Bennett survey's the ice extremely well, has a fantastic shot, whether that be his wrister or one-timer, and has the abilities to get passes through tight areas to guys sneaking in the play.
You've heard us tell this story before on other sites, Bennett spent the year playing with BCHL superstar Denver Manderson. Manderson, a scoring threat in his own right at the center position, made a killing playing alongside Bennett. Bennett, at the BCHL level, proved that putting him with a playmaking center would reap fruit for whatever team had him. These two were a work of art together. The true test came when Manderson got hurt and Bennett had to shoulder the load himself. When the focus was on him, Bennett never quit, and carried the team on his shoulders. He was producing without his star center.
25 of Bennett's goals in 2009/10 came on the power-play. He was mainly working the near wall down low for the Vees. He possess an accurate shot that he used to torture goaltenders at tough angles, and he was putting great passes cross-ice and into the slot all year long. Beau Bennett's vision might be his most valuable asset. It's that vision that will give him an advantage as a freshman at Denver next year.
The main things that Bennett needs to work on are investing himself in a physical manner and getting more involved in the defensive zone. I don't want you to mistake the defensive zone comment as an indictment that Bennett doesn't even try to play defense. He absolutely does. He will insert himself into the defensive zone and work hard to get back, but once he gets there the chore is figuring out assignments and not getting caught watching the play.
As for the phyiscal aspect of it, this can be taught, and Bennett should become better at it as he continues to fill out his frame and get stronger. He has the height, but the mass isn't quite there yet, and I think that puts a handicap on his ability to fully invest himself in a physical fashion.
Overall, this selection is a positive for the Penguins. You simply weren't going to get someone at #20 in this draft that can step in and make an immediate impact. Several of the other players we mentioned on The Pensblog were also taking the collegiate route. However, that said, the Penguins made an investment in a gifted player that has great offensive abilities and has proven that he can light the lamp with regularity when he plays with a playmaking center, and it just so happens that we have two of the best playmaking centers in the world .

I just bought a 4x4 TRD 09... I am a total newbie when it comes to 4x4. I just hit some dirt, and the Diff Lock only engages in 4L, and there are stickers all over the door that basically say, keep it under 5mph (ha!). It is because of how much it tears up the ground?
Can someone with some 4L & Diff lock experience tell me more?

One liners are a waste of time. Even if the girl has never heard it and its clever chances are you are still going to get shot down just because it sounds like a line.
I had a friend walk up to a girl and say hey do you need a drink? She replied yes and he turned and pointed at the bar and said well the bars right there and he walked away. She ended up coming back to talk to him later. Just proves my theory more woman like asshole guys. |

stupid, high-maintenance girls like asshole guys.
in my experience, one liners only will work if you say it so that it sounds like a joke and you are mocking the fact that people seriously try to use them. even then, the girls it works on are usually ones that you really want to completely skip the talking. that dress is very becoming on you. if i was on you i'd be coming too |

A metaphysical workshop with Khris Krepcik isn't so much a series of lectures, as much as it is a mystical experience in another dimension. Our gatherings are a time for learning, healing, and consolidating your inner power. The spiritual journey is not a weekend retreat. It's not a seminar. The spiritual journey is the evolutionary process of transcending illusion and ignorance to embrace life with perception.
When we gather as a group, energy and information downloads to us from celestial dimensions. These downloads are fractal codes and resonances that provide you with visions and information about your life, the world, and your spiritual journey. It is a merging of energies that builds a new resonance. One that you silently carry back into the world. It's a mystical experience. One that changes your life.

(KMOV.com) -- Police were forced to shut down the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 at Chestnut Street in downtown St. Louis after a vehicle pulling a trailer hit a barrier wall.
Authorities said the accident happened around 5:00 Wednesday morning in the depressed section of I-70. According to reports, when the car hit the concrete barrier, it knocked chunks of concrete into the westbound lanes of I-70.
One westbound lane of I-70 was closed while crews cleaned up the debris. Emergency crews managed to clear the scene around 7 a.m. and all lanes have been reopened. Police did not say if the driver of the vehicle was injured.
MoDOT officials said, depending on weather, a crew will be out to the scene later to assess the damage to the barrier. If the damage is severe enough, they will fix it. If this will impact traffic for the afternoon and evening commutes on Wednesday, News 4 will be sure to let you know.

High Impact Mascara
High Impact Mascara is simply fantastic and is on our short list of favorite mascaras.
Mega Length Lash-Extending Mascara
This top-performing mascara instantly lengthens, separates, and volumizes lashes.
Add to Faves?
Mascara is a makeup must that many people – even those who don't regularly use full face makeup – feel they need to wear to enhance their look. For a mascara to earn our highest rating, it must contain most, if not all, of these key features:
We have to hand it to the cosmetics chemists out there – the number of superior mascara formulas on the market is bigger than ever, and expanding almost monthly! There are also more brush choices than ever before, from thin combs with serrated edges to tightly-packed brushes full of nylon or rubber bristles, each providing different effects.
The best mascaras are a perfect marriage of brush and formula, with packaging components (such as the wiper) coming in a close second. Though the range of looks people want from their mascara varies widely (from dramatic almost false lashes to natural everyday looks), there are options of every variety on this list. We should also note that there are options in every price range as well!

Despite the appearance of contradicting myself, I like blink's comments and agree with him in certain respects. In essence it is the foundation of United Progressives.

It's very clear that the Republicans and Tea Party folks criticize Obama for ridiculous reasons that have very little substance, but we on the left, particularly those of us who describe ourselves as "progressive," criticize him too, but for entirely different reasons. There are a number of strong supporters of the President who believe that [...]

I'm not entirely sure how I stumbled onto this site, but I've been having fun on here reading about the European Fords - especially since we're finally seeing some of them over here! I can't wait til the Focus ST finally shows up, but I hear they're having a problem making it meet US emissions and still get decent fuel economy. I still haven't figured out what some of the words mean on here
Anyway - I traded in my old 2003 Ranger SuperCab XLT FX4 with 4.0 liter engine the other day for a 2011 F-150 XLT SuperCab with the 3.5 liter Ecoboost engine. I can't figure out the fuel economy because the tempation to stomp it and go is hard to resist
Here's some pictures - I know the European Ranger is a hundred times nicer than the American version

I'm really loving velvet furniture right now.
Velvet's rich texture looks great in any setting — glam, traditional or modern. And when it comes to color, velvet just seems to bring out the best in any hue. Colored velvet looks so delicious, and I love that is has an iridescent quality to it.
If you're not sure about using this fabric, rest assured. Today's velvet is not your grandparent's velvet. Wait! In some cases, it is! Retro velvet pieces are in demand because they create such a chic eclectic feel when paired with current pieces (and remember…everything old is new again). Still skeptical? Check out these velvety photos. You may be surprised:

Even after the company will pass to new ownerships, the plants of Vauxhall in the UK will continue to be open. GM, the parent company of Vauxhall and Opel, is said to be in the verge of revealing its choice of a bidder for both companies. The government has secured a guarantee from the three remaining bidders for GM Europe that Vauxhall will continue production in the UK indefinitely.
The three bidders have been identified as Fiat, Magna, a Canadian parts maker, and RJH, a private equity from Belgium. Another bidder, Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation (BAIC) has also made its proposal to buy Vauxhall and Opel. There are reports saying that of the three bids, Fiat is the most unlikely.

Saints' Lewis gets souvenir from Wallace
OCT 01, 2013 4:10p ET
Lewis and Dolphins wide receiver Mike Wallace have been close since they were 5 years old, played together at O. Perry Walker High School in New Orleans, then again as Pittsburgh Steelers for four seasons, up until last year.
"We talk every day. We're still brothers no matter what, but sometimes brothers fight as well, show a little blood," Lewis said before the game. "That's my brother. We did everything together, and it's feeling kind of weird having to go up against him."
The two long-time teammates left Pittsburgh in the same year and signed with New Orleans and Miami respectively.
Although it was hard for Lewis to view Wallace as the enemy initially, he's now relishing the taste of victory - and the souvenir he has to remember the game by.
"I'm just going to save this Wallace jersey, so I can remind him every time that he's at my house: the first time we went head-to-head, I got the victory." Lewis said, while triumphantly holding up the jersey Wallace wore during the game. "It was exciting. It was a great challenge. I knew it wasn't going to be easy - he's a great receiver. One of the best in the league, in my opinion, every year he's been here. I knew he was going to make his plays. It was a tough game."

Tagged: music licensing
Are you like me in that you sometimes wonder how today's music artists are making a living? I mean, seriously, it seems as if music these days has become ultra-digital and disposable. But one of the key things to remember is that mainstream music SALES may be suffering badly (unless you're an uber-powerful or popular artist like a Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Rhianna or Gaga). And truthfully, we don't even know what their bank accounts are looking like these days, or if they're experiencing the continuous slump. But have no fear…the Future of Music Coalition is here!
The Future of Music Coalition has put together an exclusive case study on the many different ways that today's music artist can and does make their money. Upon interviewing 80 different musicians and composers, FMC found some information that aspiring artists might want to pay attention to, including 42 different streams of income (potentially) for artists, information from dozens of financial case studies, and whether artists are benefiting from the many advances in music technology.
There's definitely some good information for artists experienced and aspiring alike to use. But one of the biggest drawbacks here is that there is not much of a presence of how Hip Hop artists make their music. As a Hip Hop head, I'm pretty sure there are artists in Hip Hop that are very much on the DIY tip, trying to make a living out of this music thing, but they don't seem to be included here. I'm definitely gonna go back through the study to see if this is the case. But if it is, it's pretty sad.
Other than that, be sure to get your hands on the Artist Revenue Streams study right here. Hopefully it can do something for you and your career in music!

Secret Word
This Game is for couples who arn't shy. But could be played with select # of people. To start the game, you and your partner must decide upon a 'code word' (or words). For the duration of the game, whenever someone says that word, you and your partner must kiss. For best results, pick a word that will be used somewhat often, but not every sentence. 'And', 'If', etc. are bad words, because they are used way too often! Depending on what you are doing, the word could be related to your activity. For example, if you are going bowling, the word could be 'strike' , 'spare' , or even 'rented shoes'. Part of the fun of the game is to not let other people know what you are up to. Let them wonder why you are randomly kissing for no (obvious) reason! <>My Boyfriend loved this, he thought is was so cool that I would want to kiss infront of all his/my friends. And that I actually made a game of it... This game is really fun, you end up laughing a lot, due to your freinds exchanging weird glances every time you kiss. Funny.

Seagulls Versus The Reds
Nottingham Forest travel to face Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon
The game was a second away trip of the week for Billy Davies' men with the manager looking for an improved performance to that at Charlton on Tuesday although he left The Valley pleased with the point earned by Andy Reid's early strike.To the optimist, Forest's haul of 19 points from their opening 10 games marked the basis for a promotion push although glass half-empty fans could also point to just two wins from seven games.Davies is in the former camp, telling the official club website: "I have to say, as a manager, having got to five play-offs (with three different clubs), this is the best points return I've had, over the first ten matches." Brighton also drew their midweek game 1-1 with Keith Andrews netting a late equaliser against Sheffield Wednesday. That left the Seagulls just inside the top-half of the Championship table with 13 points from their first 10 games.Forest Mad will have more from the game on Saturday evening.

Tony Rea was a relieved man after his London Broncos side avoided a Challenge Cup upset by defeating Featherstone 24-12 at the Stoop.
The hosts trailed 4-0 at the interval but rallied with five second-half tries to book their place in the fifth round.
Rea admitted his side would have crashed out had they not got their act together after the break.
He said: "We could easily have rolled over and lost the game in the first half as we were not playing well.
"But our defence was outstanding and that was hugely important to us.
"We showed the attitude and character to hang in there and turn it around, which really pleases me.
"We realised we had to earn the points if we were going to come out on top.
"All credit to Featherstone, though - they gave us exactly the type of contest I thought they would and they were a credit to the cup competition."
Kieran Dixon and Luke Dorn each grabbed second-half braces with Jamie O'Callaghan also bagging a try to secure a double-scores win.
Ian Hardman claimed two tries for the Rovers, who also had a second-half score from the influential Andy Kain to show for their prodigious efforts.
"It was definitely a missed opportunity from our point of view," said Featherstone coach Daryl Powell.
"I didn't think there was anything between the teams really, but we lacked that cutting edge that could have made the difference.
"We had them under a lot of pressure in the first half but we could not come up with the points."

I'm going to indulge in a little guilty pleasure this Friday. I decided to start poking around a few Celebrity Twitter Accounts to see how some of these "stars" are using Twitter. There's a wide variety of ways it's being used, but for the most part when it comes to Celebrity Twitter accounts, its definitely not about conversations with their communities or fan bases.
Perhaps its just the way celebrities are, that whole "look at me" factor that 95% of them are in the entertainment industry for. It goes with the territory I suppose, we the adoring fan base waiting on bended ear to hear something great fall from their lips, or in this case, tweet from their fingertips. Its all apart of the voyeurism of celebrities, if we didn't like to watch these celebrity train wrecks there wouldn't be a TMZ, Perez Hilton of US Magazine.
For the most part a lot of the Celebrity Twitter Accounts I'm going to list are basically just Public Relations or "Handler" controlled accounts (especially in the Music Industry) that are used a just another vehicle to get the word out about new albums, tour dates, ringtones, guest star appearances or pushes to vote for songs. For other celebrities its about pushing their shows, videos, and guest appearances. There's a definite difference in how engage some of these celebrities are.
There's also a difference when it comes to how "popular" the celebrity is, and their use of Twitter. But in rare cases, like that of Jane Fonda, they understand Twitter and actually use some of the technology that's sprung up around it. Jane uses hash tags to relate her tweets to things going on in the twitterverse, and although she really doesn't hold conversations, you don't get that "fake" PR Handler feel from her account like you would from say country music star's Faith Hill's twitter account.
The less well known or almost forgotten celebrities are the ones that really seem to be the real people tweeting behind their accounts. I'll take two examples from the Country Music Industry, first lets look at Jake Owen. Jake's not a huge name (at least not yet) in country music, not like say George Strait or Faith Hill. But Jake is an up and coming country crooner who can make the ladies weak in the knees. Jake's on Twitter, Jake's REALLY there, I mean a PR Handler would freak if one of their stars started yammering about being addicted to Goldfish like Jake tweets from Twitterfon.
Now look at the second example, of both Faith Hill & LeeAnn Womack. First lets look at Faith. Someone who handles her PR is actually going to the Twitter web page for her account and entering in her tweets. All the tweets though are pimping something: ringtones, appearances in People Magazine and the release of her album. There's no conversation, and the account doesn't follow anyone. Simply just another broadcast medium.
For LeeAnn Womack, the PR handlers aren't even going to the webpage on Twitter. They just hooked up Twitterfeed to pimp her Press Releases. LeeAnn's account does follow people, but they are other Country Music Celebrities under the same label and all of those accounts are set up the same way.
So if you have high hopes of having conversations with your favorite celebrities on Twitter, you might want to rethink that dream. Unless they are the "B" List actors and actresses or those 80's flashbacks that still love the adoration, you are pretty much out of luck of scoring that lunch date with a celeb via Twitter.
Now onto the the lists you all really want:
Sci Fi Celebrities:
Most of these celebrities are from Star Trek (must be a "techie/nerd/geek" thing?) TNG. I'm a huge TNG fan, so thus my own interest in this list. Most of them talk amongst themeselves, there's not conversation going on with their followers, but if you want to keep up with them, they are tweeting about what they are doing.
- Levar Burton: Geordie LaForge from Star Trek TNG - His avator shows off his tattoo, gone is the Fram Oil Filter that covered his eyes on TNG.
- Wil Wheaton: Will Crusher from Star Trek TNG - Wil's all grown up and the guy really tweets (he's got a blog too).
- William Shatner: Capt. Kirk, Priceline.com Pitchman & Denny Crane! If you are expecting him to pull up in a van and demand you add him as someone you follow on Twitter, you might be disappointed. Seems Shatner is only interested in pimping his own stuff.
- Brent Spiner: Data from Star Trek TNG - Lately he's been tweeting about basketball from what I can tell but w/ only 140 characters her could be asking about his picks for something else (looked like NCAA picks, but I could be wrong), not warp core engines or answering to Patrick Stewart.
- Amber Benson: Tara from Buffy the Vampire Slayer - She's on her own, acting and directing and it's really her tweeting.
Flash Back Celebrities:
These folks were at the top of the charts, TV, Music or Movies waaaay back when. Now they are on twitter and all of them are holding conversations. Amazing how fleeting fame can be, right?
- Debbie Gibson: Late 80's early 90's Pop Star, the first iteration of Britney Spears
- MC Hammer: Don't Touch This, Where would we be without those "Hammer Pants"?
- Fran Drescher: The Nanny's laugh could really double as a car alarm back in the early 90's.
- Justine Bateman: Malerie Keaton, little sister to Alex P. Keaton. In real life she's big sis to Jason Bateman who just starred in Hitchcock.
- Soliel Moon Frye: Who didn't love Punky Bruster? She's all grown up w/ kids of her own now and Tweeting about it.
The Over 50 Crowd:
When it comes to this group the women are the savviest and seem the most real. The likelihood of them following you back though is next to none. But check out Jane and Martha, their tweets are more than just PR Press Releases.
- Jane Fonda: From her Monster-In-Law "comeback" to her new Broadway Play, Jane's really tweeting and even using hash(#) tags. She's one lady who's hip to the Twitter lingo!
- Martha Stewart: Martha seems to just tweet about anything. From her dinners to her shows, this really doesn't feel like a PR handler out there tweeting away.
- Al Gore: Hard to tell what's going on here, Al mostly posts from the web links to his articles. Kind of disappointing for a guy who seems hip on technology.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger: From Terminator to Govenator to Twitternator? Not really, Arnold's twitter stream has no conversation going on, but good if you want to keep up on California politics.
- Bob Vila: Bob's account is basically "This Old House" on twitter. Pimps videos on "how to" in building and restoration.
- John Cleese: Anyone who loves Monty Python surely will want to follow John. He doesn't tweet much but when he does, its usually funny and its undeniably him.
- Karl Rove: Probably the most hated political pundit in Hollywood! But Karl, just like Jane is a savvy Twitter user. Links, hash tags and information - not a lot of conversation though.
Comedians Tweet Laughs:
Up for some laughs? Need a giggle in your day? You might want to add some of these guys to your twitter stream. It's highly unlikely they will follow you back, but if a great chuckle every now and then is what you need, its worth the follow.
- Russel Brand: The "Forgetting Sara Marshall" & "Bedtime Stories" star has a new book out too, but his twitter stream will definitely put some light hearted moments in your day. Careful though his comedy can be a bit crude.
- Dane Cook: This stand up comedian is in a race with P. Diddy for followers. He does seem to tweet back to some followers and it is him out there tweeting (much like Diddy).
- Jamie Kennedy: Fellow Philly guy and stand up comedian best known for the Jamie Kennedy Experiment. Doesn't tweet that much and it's mostly about where he'll be.
- Jimmy Fallon: The former SNL Newsman now has his own late night talk show. He uses Tweetie to update and seems like its real enough. He sometimes even tweets back to people who "at" him.
Tweeting Sports Guys:
It's hit and miss with these guys. Some times they tweet, sometimes they don't. They really don't hold too much conversation out there, save for Shaq. Shaq wants to know about the best dunk ever.
- Lance Armstrong: He's not tweeting about Sheryl Crowe or his new girlfriend, nor the yellow bracelets, its all about the bike racing on his twitter stream.
- Eli Manning: The New York Giants Quarterback and 2007-2008 Superboowl Champ just doesn't seem to care that much about twitter.
- Michael Phelps: The guy likes to swim, or so his bio proclaims. Who would have thought that?
- Robby Gordon: Best known for his fights, fueds and crashes on the NASCAR circuit than his wins, it looks more like a place for fans to get updates on where he'll be and who talks about him.
- Shaquille O'Neal: Everyone's talking about Shaq and twitter, even ESPN. Seems Shaq is a fan of this medium, and he really wants to know about the best dunk ever.
- Shaun White: The Flying Tomato who once wanted to hook up with olympic skater Sasha Cohen, is tweeting about where he'll be, and where he's at on Twitter. Just don't hold your breath for him to tweet you back, he's a sporadic tweeter.
Reality Tweeters:
Reality show stars are out there tweeting. I'm not a huge fan of this genre, but I'll share a few I found that are pretty interesting. From wrestling stars to reality show hosts, check out their tweets.
- Hulk Hogan: Hulkamaniacs unite, cuz Hogan Knows Best. He's Hulk and he tweets and you better not steal from him, he gets mad and tweets about you!
- Brooke Hogan: Like father like daughter, Hulks daughter Brook tweets too, just not that much.
- Ryan Seacrest: The "Dick Clark" of our generation, American Idol Host and producer of Living with the Kardashians tweets and even uses Twitterberry. Looks like the real deal, he even wants to know if you think the LeeAnn Rimes affair tape is fake.
Famous For One Reason or Another:
These celebrities are just that, celebrities for one reason or another who have been known to tweet and their tweets sometimes even hit CNN, MSNBC or FoxNews for one reason or another. You know who they are, so not much explanation needed!
Country Music Twitterers:
I saved this group for last because unless you like country music you'll want to just stop here (or skip to the postscript!) :). I've broken these up into two groups. The country music singers who look like they are really tweeting, and then the second group where it looks like someone at their record label sees Twitter as just a broadcast medium for these stars.
The Real Country Music Tweeters:
- Taylor Swift: For some reason it looks like she has two twitter accounts http://twitter.com/taylorswift13 & http://twitter.com/tayswift, both look authentic, both are tweeting, both are linked to from other country music stars. Mabye I'll get lucky and Taylor will tell me which one is really her?
- Jack Ingram: He makes me jealous, sitting on the beach in Mexico w/ a cold beer.
- Jake Owen: He's addicted to goldfish, the snack folks, not the swimming things.
- Lady Antebellum: This trio tweets about their gigs
- Zac Brown Band: A little bit of Chicken Fy and some tweets for their fans.
- Gretchen Wilson: She's a redneck woman who tweets to her fans
- George Strait: Rarely tweets, but looked real!
- Brad Paisley: Rarely tweets, but looked real!
The Music Label Control Twitter Accounts
And that's my round up of celebrity Twitter accounts. You can keep an eye on Celebrity Tweet, they add new celebrities all the time.
Postscript: If you have an account you'd like me to add to the list, leave a comment, I do my best to vet it for being "real" and add it to this post.
Commenters Celebity Twitter Suggestions:
- Dave Matthews: Suggested by Tonya Harmati because "He does tweet when he is on his travels, and sometimes twitpics his artwork. He is def an interesting follow!"

Kinder Plays Rockefeller While Chesapeake Burns
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I started my reporting career at the Houston Business Journal, during the oil boom of the 1970s.
Booms and busts are natural features of the oil patch. Price attracts supply, over-supply rolls back the price, then order is imposed from downstream by the industry's limited infrastructure.
This has been true since the 19th century. John D. Rockefeller came to control the market by organizing ownership of what was downstream, the transport and refining of the oil. Everybody thinks finding oil or gas makes them rich. But delivering the oil, refining it and getting it to market creates wealth.
Aubrey McClendon did more than anyone to create the present boom.
Fracking -- fracturing rock in the path of a horizontal shaft, using water and sand under high pressure -- let McClendon's Chesapeake Energy (CHK - Get Report) find huge quantities of gas in places where it didn't seem to exist, like eastern Pennsylvania. It created North Dakota's Bakken shale oil boom, and found new supply in fields that seemed played out in the traditional oil patch. McClendon leveraged Chesapeake to the boom, using a variety of complex partnerships to gain controlling interests in new plays. But what one oil man could do, all oil men could do. Competition raised prices, the margin for error went down, errors happened as they do, and eventually the price of natural gas rolled over, trapping McClendon's company under enormous capital requirements.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
