18. "Brooklyn Queens," 3rd Bass
Shhh. Don't tell anyone, but Brooklyn has some of the baddest, boldest, most beautiful women on the planet. We aren't the first ones to say this though: 3rd Bass let the kitty out the bag in 1989 on this funky underground hit produced by Prince Paul.

Hows the handwriting of the programmers at riot?
Hey guys, I have another question that I've always wondered...
Why do games always do the whole.. "1 game(s)" thing? This bothered me so much in pokemon and now i just saw it in LoL Why not just say game if the number is 1, and games if the number is more than 1?
Software Engineer
Pizza on a Bun
Usually how long are the programs that you guys create in C++ and Java?
Currently I'm creating a LoL eSports App using C++ that is a hub to other websites such as ChampionSelect.net and LeagueCraft.com.
It's my senior project for my Computer Programming and Simulations class in high school.
If you can't answer the question posted above, how much programming does it take to create a new champion and his/her abilities?
Emissary of the League
I've started learning some Python and C++ by contributing to a public back-end project based on a popular mmorpg, which purposes on learning. Simple as that, I underestimated the variety, depth and the density of what there is and what I've yet to learn, however, I enjoy the factor of learning out of the actions that I do.
My question on a side note, what are your personal opinions on these - even if they are based on a public, popular game and the system itself is potentially abused for illegal use, would you condone it ? Just a personal opinion.
My actual question would be, what are the best ways (in your own opinion after having worked as programmer for countless years) of approaching a project. Layout, as in structure ("What do I want, how do I want it, what should I avoid ?"); Possibilities, as in how it can expand ("What could I add that would make it better to use, what could I do to improve it further afterwards, etc. ?"); Continuity ("What possible use could it have in the future ?")

'I don't know how I did it,' says 'Superman'
It was lucky for a 6-year-old girl that Nick Harris didn't know his own strength.
And now Harris is being called Superman after managing to lift a car off the girl, according to Kansas City, Kansas, television station KCTV.
Harris was dropping off his daughter at Eugene Field Elementary in Ottawa, Kansas, when he saw a car back out of a driveway and pin the girl under a tire. That girl turned out to be his daughter's best friend.
"I just ran over there, I looked, I seen the tire on her, and I lifted the car up to get her out from underneath the car," Harris told KCTV, adding that it was sheer instinct that led him to save the girl. "I don't know how I did it. I've tried (to lift a car) three or four times since then."
Thanks to Joe Valentin, MacGyver, Juan Ricardo Lopez, and Butch Moore, who all emailed in letting me know about this story.

My boyfriend and I rented the house for two weeks at the end of the summer season and had a wonderful time. The view is amazing and I loved sitting in the hammock or by the water and enjoying my book. We also had a family of swans come to visit every day. Super picturesque. Cliff and Kathy keep the place in great condition. And the town is also quite nice and a close drive to the beach.

Levon Helm, Bunny Wailer Out of JazzFest Lineup
JazzFest announced more lineup shuffles Monday morning, as two of the Fest's prime music legends said they wouldn't be playing this year at the Fair Grounds. Levon Helm, who was scheduled to play a set with Mavis Staples and his band on Saturday, May 5, will be replaced by the Warren Haynes Band. Meanwhile, Bunny Wailer, an original member of Bob Marley's reggae combo, will be replaced by Marley's son, Ziggy, whose Wild and Free Tour was already scheduled to come through New Orleans during JazzFest.
JazzFest did not detail reasons for the cancellations. Helm, the drummer and vocalist of the legendary earthy rock combo The Band, has been in poor health for most of the year. His former Band-mate Robbie Robertson set off speculation Saturday in Cleveland at the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony when he sent "Love and Prayers" to Helm, even though the two haven't been on speaking terms for years. According to jambands.com, Helm postponed a series of shows due to a slipped disc in his back last week. Helm last played JazzFest in 2010. This set was geared up to be a classic, as Helm's band was set to play with equally legendary soul singer Mavis Staples.
The circumstances surrounding Wailer's departure from the lineup are less apparent, with no news about injury or illness circulating. Marley will assume Wailer's spot closing out the Congo Square stage on Friday, May 4.
Warren Haynes is a longtime Radiators pal and JazzFest fixture - as well as longtime member of the Allman Brothers Band and Government Mule. Ziggy Marley has been touring for years as an ambassador of his father's brand of Jamaican reggae.

WEGO (980 AM) is a radio station licensed to Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA, which serves the Piedmont Triad area. The station is currently owned by Truth Broadcasting Corporation.[1][2] and airs a news/talk format
WAAA was owned by white businessman Roger Page when it first began broadcasting in 1950. This was rare at this time in the Deep South that a white owner would own and a operate a mainly black radio station.
On the afternoon of October 28, 1950 Larry L. Williams, an African-American, signed on WAAA. The first program broadcast was a football game between Morgan State University and A & T State University. The game was announced from the stadium by Togo West, Sr. (principal of Atkins High School) while Larry L. Williams conducted station operations.
On the morning of October 29, 1950 Williams signed on WAAA for the first full day of broadcasting[3] as the second radio station in the state (after WGIV in 1947) specifically targeting an African American audience.[4][5] WAAA was believed to be the third black radio station in the United States,[6] preceded by WDIA in Memphis and WERD in Atlanta.[7] WAAA was also the first black-owned station in North Carolina.[8]
Prior to becoming the General Manager of WAAA, Larry L. Williams gave play-by-play action of the Winston-Salem State University football and basketball games; becoming known as the "Voice of the Rams." Larry L. Williams went on to become General Manager of radio stations in Alabama, South Carolina, and Charlotte, NC. He returned to his home in Asheville, North Carolina in 2002 to become General Manager of WOXL-FM. Larry L. Williams, a pioneer in radio, retired in 2008 at the age of 90.
Oscar "Daddy-Oh" Alexander was the station's best known DJ. He was described as "a jive-talking hipster who radiated cool while spinning hits from Motown and Stax."[9]
Jazz pianist Keith Byrd, who once lived near him, described Alexander this way:
He had a voice that was like gravel going through molasses. You know what I'm saying? It was smooth and sweet. He was a good spirit, a great character and he played the hottest songs. He was almost like the black Wolfman Jack in this area.[9]
Alexander left the station in 1962 after five years. But he made quite an impression with lines such as these:
It's Hooty-Tooty your host, the one that loves you the most.
It's 24 O'Roolies past 4 Mac Vouchers.
Here in the atmospheric conditions of our universal solar system - it's clear as a bell and hot as - 98 degrees.
Stick around, don't be no clown. Listen to what I'm puttin' down. This is Hooty-Tooty, the bandit's booty.[10]
Annie Bell Bowman played gospel music on the station.[11] Anita "Boss Lady" Dean was a DJ for six years.[12]
Mutter D. Evans bought WAAA from Media Broadcasting Corp. in 1979 for $1.04 million, making her the first African American woman to own a radio station in the United States. At the time, the station had 14 employees and was doing well financially considering its size. But in 1988 WAAA filed for Chapter 11. WAAA continued to broadcast but faced increasing competition from larger stations. But WAAA was unique in its service to the community, playing gospel music, jazz and rhythm and blues and broadcasting news, daily obituary reports, and Sunday religious programming.[13]
On July 9, 2001, deputies locked the doors to the WAAA studios on Indiana Avenue because court documents showed rent had not been paid since 1997. Evans and the community worked to bring the station back, and a web site was introduced in January 2002. On July 5, 2002, WAAA returned to the air with new studios and a limited schedule, with Evans claiming to have solved her problems and intending to return to a full schedule as soon as possible.[14]
As recently as 2006, WAAA sponsored Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebrations.[15]
GHB Broadcasting purchased the station.[16] For several years WAAA, later called WTIX, aired the programming of WIST-FM, which played adult standards and then classic country. The switch to sports talk took place May 5, 2008.[17]
Truth Broadcasting completed its purchase of the station January 6, 2010. The call letters changed to WEGO and the format changed to Spanish Christian. Programming included syndicated shows plus local programming from Iglesia Luz Admirable Assemblies of God.[18]
The Spanish format was short-lived however, as on July 4, 2012, new owners Ralph Epperson Broadcasting Inc. switched the format from Spanish back to English. The station now is News/Talk and features many of the same local personalities who worked at WSJS. The Eagle has signed former longtime WSJS newsman Smith Patterson to be the news director and morning show host. Bill Flynn (formerly of WMAG and WPTI) will join Patterson on air on the morning show. WEGO is also the flagship radio station of Wake Forest University Demon Deacons football and basketball.[19] Syndicated hosts include Dennis Miller, Michael Savage, Laura Ingraham[20] and Mike Gallagher.
On January 5, 2015, WEGO added Bill Bennett and shortened Flynn's show, taking it off entirely on some Mondays to air Bennett and Ingraham in their entirety.[21]

The Trailer Park: Red Flag in Play
The past couple weeks have brought us some new movie trailers that got viewers giddy with excitement, but the small glimpses into these upcoming features also raise a few concerns.
The past couple weeks have brought us some new movie trailers that got viewers giddy with excitement, but the small glimpses into these upcoming features also raise a few concerns.
Although it only runs about 90 seconds (including a number of fade-to-blacks between segments), the new teaser trailer for 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' might turn out be the most examined piece of footage since the Z...
A long time ago (well, last week) in a galaxy far, far away (YouTube), J.J. Abrams and his associates at Lucasfilm and Disney gave us a first peek at what they have planned for the much-anticipated 'Star Wars: The Force Awak...
If you plan to go out to the movies this Christmas, it appears that your choices will come down to war movies, bio-pics or raunchy R-rated comedies. Pick your poison.
When December comes around, the studios start rolling out their big awards hopefuls for the season. Whether any of these movies actually win Oscars or not, they might be worth watching.
Among other things, November will bring us a bunch of sequels, plus one movie that sounds like it must be a sequel but actually isn't.
With the summer movie season now completely out of the way, it's time to set our gazes on the horizon. Let's look ahead to see what's opening between now and the end of October.
Does Hollywood know how to make anything other than sequels anymore? This week's collection of trailers is mostly for new installments in franchises that nobody actually expected to be continued.
Over the last few weeks, we've seen a lot of new movie trailers for sequels, many of them from franchises that movie buffs never expected to see again.
Looking at the average age of contemporary action stars, it would seem being a senior citizen today is very different than it used to be. This year, some of our favorite actors prove that being old doesn't just mean sitting ...
This week's batch of upcoming movie trailers feature sequels, remakes and adaptations of material ripped directly from our childhoods.
Although February may be a dreary, cold month, a few new movie trailers are here to heat things up and build expectations for the rest of the year.

Evidence Shows Loughner Researched Famous Assassins Before Tucson Shootings
POSTED: Thursday, January 27, 2011 - 6:39pm
UPDATED: Friday, January 28, 2011 - 7:18am
TUCSON, AZ— An update on the accused gunman behind the the Tucson shootings on Thursday revealed that the gunman researched assassins before committing the crime.
Investigative sources have said that Jared Lee Loughner spent time researching famous assassins, such as Harvey Lee Oswald— the gunman behind the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and also researched the death penalty.
Witnesses to the January 8 shooting had also said that Loughner did not try and run after the shootings, and did not try and kill himself either. Loughner had also cellphone and internet messages to some friends saying goodbye.
The whole shooting took about 14 seconds, said investigators, and based on evidence on Loughner's computer, it seems like Loughner planned the shootings.
Loughner pled not guilty earlier this week to the charges against him in relation to the shootings. His attorney, Judy Clarke, is famous for avoiding the death penalty by entering a not-guilty-by-reason of insanity plea for her clients guilty of heinous crimes. One such client was unabomber Ted Kaczinski.

Twenty-three equine sarcoids in 22 horses were treated, using an afterloading technique, with iridium-192 (192Ir) interstitial radiation therapy. Previously unsuccessful treatment in 14 horses included surgical excision, cryosurgery, hyperthermia, and nonspecific immunotherapy. Twenty tumors were located in the skin of the head, and three were in the skin of the extremities. Before implantation, surgical debulking was done in six tumors, and hyperthermia (43°C, 30 min) was done in three tumors. Total implantation time varied from 4 to 14 days to give radiation doses of 52–93 Gy. The criteria for assessment of therapy were tumor response, tumor-free incidence at one year, and complications. Follow-up times ranged from six to 41 months (mean, 20 months). All tumors of the head and two tumors of the extremities had complete response to therapy. One sarcoid of the extremity had partial response to treatment. Tumor recurence was seen in the head of one horse. Of 16 horses followed for one year, the tumor-free incidence was 94% (15/16). Complications were severe local necrosis in two horses and deep infection in one horse. It was concluded that 192Ir interstitial brachytherapy was an effective treatment of recurrent and difficult-to-manage equine sarcoid.

Evidence based in a statistic that is utterly devoid of context to the point of being useless with supplying that context. As a rookie, Carter was heavily protected in the lineup as far as who he was out on the ice against. If you go back and watch him actually play those years, he was not a good defensive player.
One of the most important aspects of his development over the last two years is that he's gone from being a bad defensive player to a good defensive player. He wasn't passable...he was bad. His poor defense
contributed to us being the worst team in the league, just as Nitty's poor goaltending did.
If you want to start handing out blame for that season, it goes much, much farther than Carter and Umberger, you could even criticize Richards for that year.
And I have.
Richards, Carter, and, to a lesser extent, Umberger were not ready for the roles they were asked to play that season. Richards wasn't ready offensively, and Carter wasn't ready defensively or offensively to be a leading forward for a competitive NHL team.
However, that isn't their fault. They were young players having too much asked of them too early in their careers. Just as being disappointed in a rookie struggling defensively isn't all that fair. It isn't fair to set high expectations and then be upset when players don't meet them...perhaps one should re-evaluate their expectations.

Matt and Kim at Culture Room October 14
Whether Brooklyn knew it or not, the New York borough became a happier place the instant Matt & Kim began creating Pixy Stix-fueled keyboard pop anthems a few years ago. Since then, the adorable pair has performed a load of high-energy shows that feature sweet banter and sweeter glances between the real-life couple. Both their self-titled debut and last year's Grand are loaded with mixtape-worthy anthems of youthful defiance and fill out any "happy music" enthusiast's collection. Can we work another adorable in there? Sure.
Fort Lauderdale's Culture Room will certainly be the giddiest place in South Florida when the duo swings by. Show up early to hear a preview of their new album, Sidewalks, and expect some fresher-than-fresh material to figure into the visit. Judging by their streaking in New York's Times Square, which was filmed for the "Lessons Learned" video, there's always a chance the club will also be the most naked place around.

The LoveLump, in concept, is like a blow-up sex doll, except that it's designed from real, living tissue. Oh, and it also doesn't look anything like a sex doll.

Liver of George Best — Any self-respecting British soccer fan will know the legendary George Best. They also know that Best enjoyed his drink. And so it should be no surprise that his liver, which was recently put up for auction on eBay, looks rather diseased and unhealthy.

He also cautions that it's "not suitable for transplant or for serving with bacon and onion gravy." So the…

Richard questions whether the picture can possibly be real, and I think he's right to do so. First of all, the biplanes seem dangerously close to each other, all clustered together in a swarm. Second, by 1920 there were hundreds of biplanes and…

SHEPHERDSVILLE - I have a dream. What I like to think of as 'Farner Dreams.'
OK, I have lots of dreams. If you sleep a lot, then you have a lot of dreams. Nobody enjoys 'resting their eyes' more than me.
Still, after 32 years of doing this job, my eyes are wide open when it comes to seeing what Bullitt County needs in terms of sports and recreation facilities in our community. At this point, there are varying levels and success stories for what is already present.
Just in the past few years the addition of Heritage Hill Golf Course has filled a gapping hole in the local landscape. However, at the same time, access to youth league fields and swimming opportunities have shrunk.
Without a doubt, the number one need is a master blueprint of where we need to go and how to get there. Unfortunately, that doesn't exist in any community, even one with a 'sports authority' and it won't happen here. As is pretty much always the case, it will be a hit and miss proposition. You just have to take your victories wherever you can find them.
In addition, I'm well aware that these are tough financial times. A wish list is one thing. Getting it done is another thing all together. Most, but not all, of these 'Farner Dreams' will have to be accomplished with some type of government assistance through tax money, be it through the school system or local governments. The last time I checked, those groups are not flush with cash to cover everyday expenses, much less adding infrastructure.
As I've said before, local governments and school systems should all consider sports and recreation as part of their jobs. The only debate is the percentage of our resources to be dedicated to such things.
Still, at some point even the 'extras' need to become the 'basics' for Bullitt County to become a more healthy and vibrant community that we can all be proud of and happy to live in.
Already, the next round of county-wide elections seem to indicate that we'll have a healthy debate on the role of 'recreation' in our community.
These 'Farner Dreams' are not ranked by importance or any possibility of being accomplished. Just a wonderful wish list for a community to ponder.
And I'm sure I'm not the only one with dreams along this line of thinking. Everyone is welcome to jot down what they feel would be important within the sports and recreation community. You can email those thoughts to me at www.pioneernews.net or mail at P.O. Box 98, Shepherdsville, Ky. 40165. We'll see what response we get and print those later in the summer.
Swimming Pool(s)
Swimming pools, or the lack of swimming pools, have been in the headlines in Bullitt County this summer and with good reason. Only one swimming pool is open as of this week while three sit idle. That is not a good thing, for both swimmers and the lack of summer job opportunities.
Now, we are debating the lack of swimming for two months in the summer. Heck, even under the best of times we don't have swimming opportunities ten months out of the year.
The swimming situation in Bullitt County has been under discussion for a long time. There are those that feel that four small, outdoor, limited use pools are best for the community. There are also those that think that one large, centrally-located, indoor facility would be best.
While neither one of those lines of thinking is wrong, it certainly brings up the one point that seems to be an anchor to getting things done in this community. Unlike other communities in our area, like Nelson County and Shelby County, which have one 'hub' city to concentrate facilities around, Bullitt County has three distinct large cities (Shepherdsville, Mount Washington and Hillview) and some smaller ones that want to be heard (Lebanon Junction and Nichols).
If the one mega-pool idea ever did get traction in Bullitt County, I can just imagine the battles between the communities as to where it would be located and the hurt feelings of those not selected. What might be good for the whole community, would not be viewed positively by all.
Still, a year-round, indoor swimming facility would be a wonderful addition to Bullitt County. What would be even better would be to make it a centerpiece to a huge parks and recreation facility. I look around with envy each and every time I cover an event in Shelbyville at Clear Creek Park with its indoor swimming pool and recreation center as well as baseball and softball fields as far as the eye can see along with picnic facilities and even a golf course and fishing possibilities.
The Bullitt County high schools have worked together to add swimming programs over the past three years and have had some success. Still, those teams have to travel into Louisville to practice and compete at the University of Louisville, but lane time is very limited and expensive.
This 'Farner Dream' is a lot bigger than putting a bubble over one of the existing pools. Too many times this community has tried to take the cheapest or easiest way out instead of doing it right the first time.
Two High School Gyms
If given one wish from Aladdin, I have no doubt that the three high school athletic directors would pick having a second gym as being that wish.
For the past four years, Bullitt County teams have been competing in Jefferson County in the Sixth Region. Just about every public school in the Sixth Region not located in Bullitt County has a second or auxiliary gym.
Some of the gyms are nothing more than a basketball court. Others, like at Fairdale, the second gym is large enough and has enough seating to host basketball games like happens in the King of the Bluegrass Tournament where two games go on at the same time.
Scheduling winter events at the area high schools is a huge headache with three basketball teams for both the boys' and the girls' programs. Add in wrestling teams, archery practice and cheerleading squads, along with any other school event, and gym time is precious with only one gym.
You don't need much of an imagination to consider the demands on the gym at Bullitt East last December when the football team was still in the play-offs (and bad weather made outdoor practice difficult) while the basketball teams were opening their seasons.
In-season, some basketball teams have been practicing at 8 or 9 p.m. on school nights.
We're not talking about a second 2,500-seat gym. Just something big enough to host a wrestling meet or a freshman basketball game.
Part Two: Check next week for more 'Farner Dreams' about tennis, baseball and softball.
Over the next few weeks, everyone is welcome to submit some of their own dreams. I'll collect those and publish them later this summer.
You can submit your dreams by sending off an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or you can do it the old way and mail it to The Pioneer News, P.O. Box 98, Shepherdsville, Kentucky 40165.
In addition, anyone who can provide any concrete plans on how we could finance some of these dreams can contact me also.

The rug took a rather long time to arrive but was well worth the wait. The pile is nice and tight and the image and colors are just as presented in the photo and review. Very pleased with this purchase. The rug has been placed under the new table and chairs set I just purchased from Overstock.con! Love the look~Read More
Very nice accent rug but white is more visible!
Overall, I am happy with this purchase. The quality is excellent and I love the talavera pattern. I was a bit disappointed that the actual rug was not as blue-focused as it looks in the photos. While the blue and turquoise shades are true to the photos, the white borders (between the patterns) are much wider and visible on the actual product. Or to better describe it, imagine how this rug would look if all the blue/turquoise patterns shrunk! While I would have preferred the rug to be exactly the same as the photos, the blue/turquoise/white blend works for me so I'm keeping this one!Read More

The man, 47, was taken to Norwalk Hospital with life-threatening injuries after the gun went off once Monday morning in a home in Grumman Avenue, police said in a news release.

But as far as the nation was concerned, they may as well have been out of the country.
The Horned Frogs played on ESPN just three times, and their games found homes on such far-flung channels as Versus, CBS College Sports and The Mtn., the Mountain West Conference's own TV network.
"People didn't see you," Fuente said last week during the American Athletic Conference's annual meetings in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. "You may have a great team or a great play or a great game, but people don't see it." He paused. "Almost everybody's got ESPN."
Fuente laughed at that last sentence, but it's precisely the key to the excitement league coaches had last week when seeing presentations from ESPN and CBS, but largely ESPN, about the league's television package. When it was signed in March, the main buzz was negative — the American reportedly only got $20 million or so a year from its rights deal, not the gigantic numbers that many other conferences had received in this age of record sports rights deals.
But in time, the American has grown to like everything about the deal that doesn't involve dollar signs.
"That gives you a great opportunity to recruit — you're on ESPN and you're on CBS," American commissioner Mike Aresco said. "We've got two of the greatest media companies supporting our brand."
Of its 66 intra-conference football games each year, 58 will be televised on an ESPN national platform. A handful of games will be sublicensed to what Aresco called a "comparable" platform. But three games per year will receive an ABC national telecast, a component that didn't exist before. And the league title game, once it debuts in 2015, will also be on ABC.
Of its 170 intra-conference men's basketball games each year, 110 will be on an ESPN national platform, also with some opportunity for sublicensing. CBS will broadcast 12 games, and six of them have to be intra-conference games.
"We've got a group of schools from Conference USA that did not have that kind of exposure," Aresco said.
But the biggest benefit to Memphis may be the elimination of all the confusion that seemed to arise every time the Tigers were playing. The question of 'What channel are the Tigers on?' will usually be answered with an ESPN network or CBS, with the occasional frustration of an ESPN3, digital-only broadcast.
Potential headaches, sure, but better than fishing to find CBS College Sports — or learning your cable provider doesn't carry it.
Tiger basketball coach Josh Pastner raved about the deal after he received a presentation on it Tuesday. "Outstanding," he said. "Terrific." The recruiting exposure is a big reason, he said.
And when it was suggested that it's a clear upgrade from Conference USA, Pastner even took it a step further.
"But it might be one of the best in the entire country," Pastner said.
