GREENSBORO – N.C. State got a scare late in Thursday's opening round win against Virginia Tech when backup point guard Tyler Lewis collided hard with the Hokies' Jarell Eddie while driving to the basket.
Both players went down in a heap. While the 6-foot-7, 218-pound Eddie stayed down and had to receive medical attention, Lewis – who stands 5-11 and is 157 pounds soaking wet – got up and limped off on his own. He came out of the game and didn't return.
Although he had an ice pack on his right knee in the locker room after the game, Lewis said his injury isn't serious.
"It hurts a little bit, but not too bad. I'll be able to play (today)," Lewis said of State's quarterfinal matchup with Virginia. "I'll be fine. I just collided with him and I ended up hitting him in the head with my knee. I'm pretty sure he got the worst of it."
Lewis had four points and a rebound in six minutes of action against Virginia Tech on Thursday, but his contribution could grow larger as the tournament wears on and the fifth-seeded Wolfpack continues with its goal of trying to win four games in four days.
Boston College's Olivier Hanlan, the ACC's Rookie of the Year, scored 41 points to key an improbable rally and lead his team to an 84-64 first-round victory against Georgia Tech on Thursday. In doing so, he broke an ACC tournament freshman record set two years ago when North Carolina's Harrison Barnes hit for 40 in an overtime semifinal win against Clemson.
Hanlan missed his first two 3-pointers during an early blitz in which Tech opened up a 15-0 lead, then proceeded to make his next eight. He finished the game by making his final 12 field goal attempts while going 14 of 18 from the floor before leaving with 2:13 remaining just four points shy of the overall tournament record.
North Carolina's Lennie Rosenbluth scored 45 against Clemson way back in 1957.
"I had no idea," BC coach Steve Donahue said when told how close his freshman star was to the record. "We were just locked in. I had no idea if one guy was making them or what."
If Donahue didn't realize how hot Hanlan was, the other players on the court sure did.
"He was putting on a show," point guard Joe Rahon said. "There's no doubt about it. When you're penetrating, you're looking for where his defender is, because if you can get him a clean look, more than likely it's going to go in."
Because of the play of Rahon, who finished with 15 points and seven assists, Hanlan said his prolific scoring effort was as easy as it looked.
"My last 12 shots weren't really tough shots," he said. "I was just trying to move around the wing, because they were guarding me pretty well when I had touches. I was trying to spot up, get my feet under me and just hit shots."
N.C. State point guard Lorenzo Brown had 12 assists in Thursday's win against Wake Forest, the most ever in an ACC tournament game by a Wolfpack player. The previous record was nine, shared by four players.
The 12 assists were also the fifth-most among everyone in a tournament game. Wake Forest's Ish Smith set the mark of 15 against Georgia Tech in double overtime in 2007. UNC's Kendall Marshall matched him in last year's quarterfinals against Maryland.
In addition to his unselfish playmaking, Brown also did a good job defending Hokies' star Erick Green. The ACC Player of the Year, who is bidding to become the first league player to lead the nation in scoring since 1957, was held to 15 points – 10 below his season average.
"Lorenzo is the kind of player that if he felt he needed to score or our team needs that, he can do that more," Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried said. "But today his focus was defensively, and I thought he had a heck of a game. He was great defensively and distributed the ball well. Twelve assists … pretty good afternoon."
Early Thursday, Wake Forest and ACC fans were greeted by an advertisement across the bottom of the sports page of the Greensboro News & Record promoting the ouster of Deacons' coach Jeff Bzdelik.
The advertisement promoted the website www.FireBz.com and read "#BuzzOut; In 25 ACC road game, Jeff Bzdelik is 1-24 (.040). 20 of those losses have come by 10 or more points."
When Wake Forest's starting lineup was announced before their Thursday game against Maryland, every starter received a loud ovation from the Wake Forest crowd, but there was silence and a few boos after Bzdelik was announced as the Deacons' coach.
Emotions got even hotter once the game was over and Wake's season-ending 75-62 loss to the Terrapins became official. A disgruntled fan came down to the edge of the stands and began yelling at Bzdelik. His tirade was met with angry comments from the coach's supporters, including his wife, sitting in the first few rows behind the bench.
"We heard about it, but we don't pay attention to that stuff," junior forward Travis McKie said. "We just pay attention to the guys in this locker room. We can't worry about media good or bad. That's the way it goes in college basketball. It's a tight-knit group and we'll be fine."
The ACC honored former Wake Forest star Rodney Rogers at halftime on Thursday's Wake Forest-Maryland game on the 20th anniversary season of his being named the league's player of the year in 1993.
Rogers, a former Durham Hillside two-sports star, was wheeled out in his wheelchair by his wife Faye and his Wake Forest coach Dave Odom among others; Rogers is paralyzed from the shoulders down after he was injured in a Nov. 28, 2008 dirt bike accident in Vance County (near Raleigh).
A 13-year NBA veteran who played for the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics, New Jersey Nets, New Orleans Hornets and Philadelphia 76ers, Rogers created a foundation to help assist those in financial need from accidents that cause paralysis.

Old lumber store gives arts group a home in Marysville
Arts organization now has long-sought-after Marysville center
Sean Ryan / The Herald
Scott Randall, a board member for the Red Curtain Foundation for the Arts says a former lumber store has the space the foundation needs for its programs in Marysville.
Sean Ryan / The Herald
The Red Curtain Foundation for the Arts will be moving in to its new home at the former Dunn Lumber building in Marysville.
Sean Ryan / The Herald
Scott Randall a board member for the Red Curtain Foundation for the Arts gives a tour to the foundation's new home at the old Dunn Lumber building in Marysville on Friday afternoon.
The nonprofit foundation has a lease-purchase agreement with the owners of Dunn Lumber Co. for the company's 10,000-square-foot commercial building at 1410 Grove St.
The Marysville-based arts education organization plans to transform the $1 million space into a hub for the performing arts, as well as provide room for fine art shows, classrooms, meetings and community gatherings.
Red Curtain, founded in 2009, hasn't had a place to run its programs in Marysville. For example, most if its plays and the Hometown Hootenanny music series have been staged at the Historic Everett Theatre in downtown Everett.
"It's always been our goal to serve the greater Marysville community and north Snohomish County," said Scott Randall, a Red Curtain board member. "This is a project we will do in phases as we raise the money, but we already plan to present a Christmas play in the new space in December."
The old lumber sales building has a lot going for it, Randall said. It has plenty of room for a box office, a lobby, a script lending library, a stage that can be re-configured within the space and a large backstage "green room." The former loading dock could be transformed into a covered deck for outdoor concerts, and outdoor theater is possible in back of the building, Randall said.
Marysville is coming into its own with a cultural shift that includes on emphasis on the arts, he said.
"We're not just about the Strawberry Festival anymore," Randall said. "The Marysville Arts Coalition, the school district, the YMCA, the library and the Tulalip Tribes have made big strides."
Jodi Hiatt, vice president of the Arts Coalition agrees.
"We are hearing a great response to the plans that Red Curtain has for the Dunn Lumber building," she said. "People who appreciate the arts have always been here, but there haven't always been many opportunities. The Arts Coalition looks forward to teaming up with Red Curtain, beginning with our November art show. Red Curtain will close the show with a free stage play."
Next up for the Red Curtain board is the start of a fundraising and promotional campaign, Randall said.
"There is much work to be done and community support will be vital in this undertaking," he said. "The best way to get something done is to just do it."
Volunteers sought

I can bring my basket if needed
I can bring my basket if needed
A tagger simply must declare if they are using the long or the short pad at the moment it is their turn on the card to teeoff.
The cards will be seeded from the lowest tag to the highest tag. The only time the card order will change is when a point is earned and a hole as been won. If there is no winner on the hole the order on the card will not change.
Do points roll over from hole to hole as they do in Skins?
They didn't last year, I'm not the one to answer about it this year.
All I need is some tasty waves and a cool buzz and I'm all right.
I backhand as a hobby, I putt to pay the bills.
So, if I'm understanding the proccess correctly...Players are assigned to a group, then Players are assigned what hole to start on by tag #?
So If I have Tag #1, I will be on Tee 1. Along with Tags 2,3, and 4.
And Lets say I am in E group and 2,3,4 are in A group, which means I play as many shorts as I want and they play the longs.
The opposite extreme could also happen. An A group player could have tag 100 and be playing agianst E group players and all starting on hole 18.
Is this they way thing will go, or am I terribly wrong.
Steve Jones
Steve - I read your post twice - make sure I get this right - everything you said is correct except that the tag # distribution will be tee after tee
for example tee 1 - #1, tee 2 - #2, tee 3 - #5, tee 4 -#6, tee 7 - #12, tee 8 - #14 - all the way to hole 18 - then tag numbers will go from 18 to 1, then back again
so in the end it will look something more like tee 1 - #1, #22, #46, #4, tee 2 - #2, #20, #49, #70
every card will range from 3 - 5 players pending turnout for the first 18 holes
yes it is possible that a card could have all the same taggers from the same group or a card could have 3 -5 of the groups present
I see, Thanks for the info. This could make for some very diverse groups.
Steve Jones
diverse groups is the idea - I have always strived to make the bag tags one of the few places in disc golf where the players can play all together
i detest the many divisions that are in place by the PDGA - I believe they only exist because everyone wants to be a winner
Disc Golf is about everyone playing the course to the best of their own ability - The Bag Tag Tourney is just that (with handicaps) - Taggers get the chance to compete against the course as well as against players of all skill levels that they may never play with all year long -
This is why when all is played out there will be one true #1 - lots of players - means lots of $$ - means lots of payout spots

Over the period of two days, Wootton made seven runs down the HRP quarter-mile driving the family's recently purchased A/Fuel Dragster tuned by veteran chassis builder and crew chief, Joe Monden. Those seven runs were Wootton's first down a drag strip in any dragster. And she handled the car like a seasoned veteran of the sport of drag racing.
In April 2010, in only her second race day start Wootton took home her first Wally, by running a 5.33 at 267mph in the LODRS Division 4 event at Texas Motorplex.
James Day is a working man with the spunk and humbleness fans of drag racing gravitate too.
A second-generation drag racer growing up in the hot bed of the sport, Southern California, Day has literally worked his way to becoming one of the most sought after drivers in drag racing today. From front motored Top Fuel Dragsters and Funny Cars, to the modern-day 300 mile per hour monsters of the quarter-mile, Day has driven them all. However, he didn't start as a driver. Like everything in his life, he worked his way to the top.
Day began as a crew member on his father's race teams as a child. He then worked with several professional teams, starting with cleaning the race car until learning all phases of mechanical duties before he ever strapped into a race car. The experience has helped Day become a more complete and proficient driver.
James is the driver of John Lindsay's CleanBoost PERFORMANCE MOTOR OILS sponsored Monte Carlo NHRA Nitro Funny Car and uses CleanBoost 70W Racing Oil to protect his 8,000 Horse Power engine.
Currently James is driving Gary Turners Nostalgia Funny Car "The Pedaler"
Johnny's involvement in drag racing began at birth. Being born into a family of racers paved a solid foundation for his passion in the sport.
Ahten Racing began as early as the late 1960's with brothers Al and Bob, Johnny's father and Uncle, hitting the local strips of Southern California. Today, he is the driver of the Ahten Racing Nitro-methane powered A/Fuel Dragster. Eclipsing 270 miles per hour in less than 5.3 seconds is standard fare for the Santa Clarita, Calif. based race car driver.
When not racing, Johnny is employed as a Firefighter Specialist with the Los Angeles County Fire Department. He has moved up through the ranks to be the one who drives and pumps the fire engine. He gets to drive fast on and off the track. "Both my racing and my career can be very similar," noted Ahten."Both require good people skills and performance under pressure."
Johnny uses our CleanBoost 70W Racing Oil and his car is wrapped showing our Combust Filters manufactured by Combustion Technologies. Combust Filters are like no other filters on the market, utilizing water removal technology, oil and fuel can be filtered cleaner than the factory and can be utilized for extended use.
CleanBoost Performance Motor Oil is proud to have partnered with Chris Demke and team owner Jerry Maddern for the 2010 NHRA season. Demke has captured two NHRA National Event Victories so far in 2010 and is on a quest to capture the NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series championship.
2014 TAD World Champion, Demke and Maddern choose to use our CleanBoost 70W Racing Oil to protect their highly competitive 471 Cubic Inch Blown Alcohol Dragster. They also use the CleanBoost EMT Metal Treatment to protect the 3-speed manual transmission and the rear end gears. The team also uses our NANO-SHEEN Waterless Wash and Shine to clean their award winning Dragster.

Christmas' Long Ago: Something to Tech AboutChristmas' Long Ago
Something to Tech About
by Jennifer LB Leese
What is it about Christmas that makes our hearts skip a beat? Maybe it's the sweet nostalgia found in such movies as A Christmas Story, It's Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th Street. It could be the butterflies you get in your stomach every time you hear White Christmas, Winter Wonderland, or Christmas Shoes. Or maybe it's the feeling you get when you see Christmas lights on houses and trees, or images of the jolly round guy, and holly wreaths.
Christmastime brings out the child in all of us. It is seen in the awestruck gaze of children's eyes. It is in the wonder of surprise, the history of the season, and the tickling of hope and love.
There is a definite magic in the air this time of year. It is that magic that makes the grumpy neighbor a little bit nicer and people in general a little more patient.
Christmas isn't just about one thing. The history goes so deeply into our past, it can't help but be so much more. For me, it's the celebration of Christ's birth, sleigh bells, ice-skating, smells of sugar and spice, friends and family, candles burning, roaring fires, decorated houses, Christmas trees, gingerbread houses, tinsel and garland, new toys, fancy glass ornaments, mistletoe, egg-nog, love, hope, peace, and contentment.
Christmas traditions are handed down from generation to generation. Some associate Christmas with hanging the same decorations in the same spot year after year, singing the same songs, eating the same food, and/or attending Christmas mass or a special holiday event.
Who Brings Your Presents?
Are your presents left under the tree, in a stocking, or in a shoe? Does Santa Clause deliver them or is it Saint Nicholas, Father Christmas, or the Fairy Queen?
In the United States, Santa Clause leaves us presents for Christmas morning in stockings and under the tree. He also starts early by delivering them all on Christmas Eve.
Father Christmas delivers to good little children in England. He sneaks into the house and fills the stockings with gifts.
Now if you lived in France, The Christ Child would put gifts in your empty shoes, which you set out on the doorstep or by the fireplace.
In the Netherlands, you put hay and sugar inside a shoe on the night before Saint Nicholas Day for Saint Nicholas' horse. After the horse eats, Saint Nicholas repays you by filling your shoes with candy and tiny gifts.
The children in Spain also leave gifts for an animal. The camels of the Three Kings are given straw to eat and they leave gifts on Epiphany, twelve nights after Christmas.
In some parts of Germany you get gifts from a girl called Christkind. She wears a crown of candles and carries a basket full of gifts to the children.
In parts of Europe at Christmas time you might get a gift from a Ferocious-looking man with a sooty face. It'll be knight Rupprecht passing out gifts as he travels with Saint Nicholas.
Papa Noel delivers gifts for children in Brazil, Julinisse leaves them presents in Denmark, and Old Man Christmas is the one you'll get candy and small gifts from if you lived in Finland.
Christmas Tree and Decorations
Placing a small evergreen (undecorated) in our house started as early as 700 A.D. as a German tradition, it is said that the first decorated tree was introduced in Alsace, France in 1521 by the Princess Helene de Mecklembourg. Some believe we decorated the little tree because of people from Victorian times hung candies and cakes from it with ribbon
Others say it is connected to the Paradise tree that was decorated with apples during Advent in the 11th century to symbolize the Tree of Paradise.
The Today staff of The Tuscaloosa News' research states that Woolworths, in 1880, sold the first manufactured Christmas tree ornaments. They also report that "Martin Luther, in the 16th century, is said to have been the first person to put candles on a tree, and the first electrically lighted Christmas tree appeared in 1882. Calvin Coolidge in 1923 ceremoniously lit the first outdoor tree at the White House, starting that long tradition."
The hanging of mistletoe as a Christmas decoration has been used for thousands of years and is associated with pagan rituals. The kiss under the mistletoe is said to be associated with the Scandinavian goddess of love Frigga.
Teutonic people placed holly and other evergreens around the inside of their homes with the hopes of warding off bad winter weather and unwanted spirits.
The Christmas wreath is also comes from pagan beliefs. Pagans used the evergreen wreath with four candles during mid-winter rituals; each candle had it's own meaning- Earth, wind, fire, and water.
Rancher Paul Ecke is responsible for making the poinsettia the Christmas flower. Early 1920s, he introduced the first cultivator that could be grown as an indoor plant. He traveled all over the country encouraging poinsettia growers to market the plant for the holiday season.
Christmas Gifts
For many, whether they admit it or not, Christmas is about presents. Children nearly burst anticipating Christmas morning. Christmas's gift-giving tradition has its roots in the Three Kings' offerings to the infant Jesus. Giving and receiving presents is huge at Christmastime - after all, it is the largest annual economic spike for many nations. Ironically, Christmas Day is the least active day of the year for economically. This is also typically when most toy or game manufacturers introduce new products.
Electronics, such as digital cameras, camcorders, video games, video game systems, and televisions, is an enormous seller at Christmastime nowadays. Years ago popular gifts for children were toy trains, dolls, BB guns, toy soldiers, spinning tops, and jack in the boxes.
Christmas Food
Food is often associated with celebrations. Christmas is no exception. Christmas dinner ranges from duck to turkey, ham to prime rib, of course, all with the trimmings of potatoes, cranberries, hot rolls, and festive cakes and desserts. Depending on what your parents or grandparents ate for Christmas dinner has a lot to do with what you now have and serve.
Christmas Then and Now
If you think of Christmas' long ago, we've certainly advanced in our ideas of Christmas and celebrating the holiday.
Making ornaments from walnut shells, hanging real candy canes from the tree, making handmade Christmas cards, and going from house to house singing Christmas carols are rarely seen today.
Now with the age of video games, big screen televisions, and portable music players, the holiday season has become a time for big expenses and even bigger expectations.
All things considered, Christmas is how YOU want to celebrate it, but I do hope, whatever your "feelings" are toward the holiday, that you are teaching your children the specialness of the season. Do your children know what Christmas is all about?
I wish you a joyful present and a well remembered past. May the closeness of friends, the comfort of home, and the unity of the season, renew your spirits and I wish you a very Merry Christmas, all the happiest holidays, and all the luck the New Year could possibly bring to you.

5/16/14 Jay Z and Fam Issue Statement
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, May 16, 2014
ROBIN THICKE is still desperate to win PAULA PATTON back. And according to TMZ, he even wrote a song that he's going to try to woo her with at this Sunday's "Billboard Music Awards". It's called "Get Her Back", and it includes lyrics like, "All I wanna do is make it right / I gotta get her, go get her back / I gotta treat her right / I gotta cherish her for life." And, "I should've kissed you longer / I should've held you stronger / And I'll wait for forever for you."
This is probably just a stupid tabloid rumor. But if it's true, it confirms every fear GEORGE CLOONEY has probably had about marriage over the past 20 years. "Life & Style" magazine claims George's fiancée Amal Alamuddin has him on a WEDDING DIET so he can slim down before they recite their vows. A source says, quote, "Amal thinks he's been looking a bit chubby lately, and she's determined to have George looking handsomer than ever when he walks down the aisle."
JAY Z, BEYONCÉ and SOLANGE issued a press release saying they've worked past their problems . . . quote, "Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred . . . They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family . . . We've put this behind us and hope everyone else will do the same."
If GWYNETH PALTROW and CHRIS MARTIN are still "consciously uncoupling", they're doing it at close range. Because Gwyneth recently got a restraining order against a stalker, and in her paperwork, she noted that she and Chris still live together.
"Entertainment Tonight" now says KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST are getting married in Florence, Italy, not Paris. But they might just be giving different people different information to throw the media off the trail.
5/14/14 Justin Bieber Being Investigated...Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, May 14, 2014
Two Australian media billionaires got into a fistfight on a Sydney sidewalk in broad daylight because of MIRANDA KERR. One of the guys left his wife and kids to date Miranda, and the other, who is his childhood friend, was mad about it. But after the fight, they released a statement saying, quote, "We have been friends for 35 years and still are. In that time we have had our fair share of ups and downs."
JUSTIN BIEBER is being investigated for allegedly trying to take a woman's phone Monday night. Justin and his crew were at the Sherman Oaks Castle Park . . . a complex with miniature golf and batting cages. Justin and his friends got into an altercation with some other guys, and Justin thought he saw a woman take out her phone to take pictures. He demanded her phone to see if she had taken any. When she wouldn't give it to him, Justin reached into her purse and grabbed it. But he couldn't unlock it, so he gave it back to her and made her do it. After he saw that she hadn't taken any photos, the woman said she and her 13-year-old daughter just wanted to say hi. But being the A-HOLE that he is, Justin screamed, quote, "You're humiliating yourself in front of your daughter! Why don't you just get out of here?!" The girl started crying, and then Bieber turned around and started yelling at someone else. The woman complained to police, and they're investigating Justin for attempted robbery.
Police took ALEC BALDWIN into custody yesterday morning . . . after he illegally rode his bike against traffic down a New York City street. And to the surprise of NO ONE, Alec threw a tantrum. He Tweeted, quote, "New York City is a mismanaged carnival of stupidity that's desperate for revenue and anxious to criminalize behavior once thought benign."
Sources say the reason SOLANGE attacked JAY Z in an elevator last week is because Solange's friends were trying to name-drop Jay to get into the event they were at, and he told her they had to stop. Also, Solange got mad that Jay was going to hit up a party hosted by RIHANNA instead of going home with BEYONCÉ.
JENNIFER ANISTON is renovating her Bel Air mansion, and those renovations include a closet. A $60,000 closet. That's how much Jennifer is reportedly spending to convert a garage into a closet that will be 24 by 36 feet, with a skylight and a powder room.
5/13/14 Jay Z Beat By Bey's Sister

Tuesday, May 13, 2014
Here's how badly SELENA GOMEZ wants to forget about JUSTIN BIEBER: She was shooting an Adidas commercial, and some of the guys on the crew were named Justin. So she made them CHANGE THEIR NAMES. Not permanently, obviously . . . just while she had to work with them. A source says, quote, "Her team asked their names be changed so she didn't have to say the name Justin . . . She's done and moving on from the broken promises and drama."
JAY Z, BEYONCÉ and her sister SOLANGE KNOWLES went to a fashion event in New York last week. And apparently something happened at an after party that made Solange ATTACK Jay Z in an elevator. TMZ released the surveillance video, and since there's no audio, it's unclear what Solange was upset about. But she was FREAKING OUT. She yells, lunges at Jay Z, pushes him, hits him with her arms and purse, kicks at him, and has to be restrained by a guy who looks like a bodyguard There's another woman in the elevator and it definitely looks like Beyoncé. She mostly stays out of it, but she does step in between them. The whole thing lasts over three minutes, and you can see the bodyguard pushing buttons while he's bear-hugging Solange. We're assuming he stopped the elevator to keep things private. She finally stops a couple minutes in, but keeps yelling. Then when the doors open she goes at him AGAIN, before they finally get out. Supposedly it was over something Jay Z said, that she took the wrong way. But no one's commented yet. And the footage was leaked by hotel security.
5/12/14 Sherri Shepherd Divorcing
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, May 12, 2014
SHERRI SHEPHERD'S husband Lamar Sally filed for legal separation last week . . . and he also filed for legal and physical custody of their UNBORN SON. Sherri's not pregnant. They used a surrogate. The boy is due on July 28th, and they were planning on naming him Lamar Jr. Lamar wants Sherri to have "reasonable" visitation rights. He also wants Sherri to pay spousal support and his attorney fees . . . and he wants the court to invalidate their prenuptial agreement based on "fraud".
CHARLIE SHEEN'S wife-to-be, former mattress actress BRETT ROSSI, is legally changing her name to SCOTTINE SHEEN. And no, that's not something she and Charlie came up with during a coke bender. Scottine is Brett's BIRTH NAME. She says, quote, "I'm trying to leave my porn past behind me and start living as me . . . I am not in the adult industry anymore and keeping that name keeps myself, as well as the world, from moving past my past. I'm preparing to be a wife, a step-mommy and starting a fresh chapter in my life . . . Brett Rossi left the building a year ago when I retired."
GEORGE CLOONEY reportedly snagged Amal Alamuddin by joking that they should hook up because they're both so HOT. A source says he sent her an email saying, quote, "I think the reported hottest man in the world should meet with the hottest human rights lawyer in the world."
DREW BARRYMORE says she's not going to let her daughters get into showbiz until they're adults. Ironically, she loved the structure and sense of family she got from being a child star, but she adds, quote, "It's different for my children. They are going to have everything they need."
5/9/14 Clooney Getting Prenup
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, May 9, 2014
Somehow I pictured GEORGE CLOONEY as the kind of guy who WOULDN'T get a prenup. And the fact that he waited 20 years after his divorce to commit to another woman would make you think he's pretty sure this is the right one. But on the other hand, he's only been dating his fiancée, Amal Alamuddin, for SIX MONTHS . . . and he's worth around $200 million. The "Star" tabloid claims he IS making her sign a prenup . . . quote, "He has had so many friends go through hell because of a split. He just wants to make sure that doesn't happen to him if, God forbid, he and Amal break up."
JADA PINKETT doesn't think there's anything wrong with that picture of her 13-year-old daughter WILLOW on a bed with shirtless 20-year-old actor MOISES ARIAS. She told the paparazzi, quote, "Here's the deal: There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys are projecting your trash onto it, and you're acting like COVERT PEDOPHILES, and that's not cool."
There's great video of Reese Witherspoon, Kate Upton, Zooey Deschanel and Cara Delevingne in an elevator together. And it appears they were partying. Reese in particular seemed pretty lit, and shared this bit of wisdom, quote, "[You know] the most important thing about a name for a girl? Is that a man can whisper it in his pillow."

I lost my red Flick on the left side of the fairway on #2. I'm pretty sure it buried under the leaves from the way it turned. I looked and looked for it and couldn't find it, but I did find another disc. Much of the phone number is worn off, but it is a 502 number. The name appears to say "Lyle" but it's a bit worn, too. I'm sure whomever lost it wants it back because it's got an ace listed on it. It's very distinctive, so just let me know if it's yours.
I also lost my lime green Havoc Friday on #1. I threw a couple and it careened off a tree, but I honestly don't know where it went. I'd bet it's also under the leaves if someone else hasn't found it.

Vol. 25 , No. 02
CMC Forum Debate Night at the Ath: Is CMC a True Liberal Arts College?
At CMC, debate abounds. From dining halls to dorm rooms, students are caught up in thoughtful discussions. Supported by the Associated Students of Claremont McKenna College, The CMC Forum took on-campus discussions and put them online, creating a new space for campus debate on cmcforum.com. Now, the Forum is bringing the discussion back to its first home at CMC: the Athenaeum.
The premise is simple — take a campus issue and let students debate the pros and cons. In fact, the event was inspired by an old tradition at CMC when the administration would hold open forums for student and faculty input on college policy. Together with the Ath, the Forum is recasting this tradition as fully student-driven. Students suggested topics, students voted on them online, and students will be tackling them together. This is not a panel discussion by pre-selected experts. This is an open debate by your classmates and your friends.
The topic students selected is as fundamental to the college as this event is to its character: What makes CMC, well, CMC? That is, is CMC a true liberal arts college? And if not, then what is it? Does it still emphasize general knowledge or is CMC becoming a specialized pre-professional school? These are the questions the college must ask as the Board of Trustees begins crafting a new strategic plan, and these are the questions that will be posed to the student body at the Debate Night at the Ath.
Since this is a student event, it will not be overly serious. The main event will be paired with a second, less formal, and lighter debate on something just as pressing in college life: dating culture, the Pomona rivalry, or maybe even left-handedness. To add some drama, both attendees and participants will learn of that topic upon arrival. The format for both, though, will feature one or two speakers from each side as well as full audience participation. At the end, as a true Forum, the audience will declare a winner, measured of course in cheers and applause.
E-mail the Forum (email@example.com) if you're interested in speaking on Debate Night. Depending upon response, the Forum will select speakers as the format allows.
Observations from the Inside
I've always felt like an outsider, from the years I've spent growing up in a household of all females to the years I've spent being a household name. My perspective on our culture is unique because I've been granted entree into many different sectors of society based on my ability to transform into a non-threatening entity. From the palatial mansions of the super rich to the seedy squats of the East Village, on board the Supersonic Concorde to Europe or a Greyhound bus cross-country; I've witnessed a lot. The information I've gathered from different cultural pockets is very interesting and enlightening in terms of sexuality, race, religion and self-esteem. Why is male femininity considered the last taboo? Why is it acceptable for a parent to keep a child ignorant about sexuality? What secrets do drag queens know about men that every real woman should know? These are just a few of the questions I will answer and expound upon in my lecture.
-RuPaul Charles
In 1993 RuPaul skyrocketed to international fame with the release of the breakthrough house/dance album Supermodel of the World (1993) which was followed by a beauty contract endorsing M.A.C Cosmetics, roles in several movies and The RuPaul Show, a variety program on VH1 with celebrity guest interviews hosted by RuPaul. Since then, RuPaul has released a total of four studio albums, written an autobiography Lettin' It All Hang Out (1995), and written, produced and starred in the movie Starrbooty (2007). RuPaul, whose portrait appears as a wax model showcased at Madame Tussauds in Times Square, has raised millions of dollars worldwide for people living with HIV/AIDS.
In February 2009, RuPaul released Champion, which was the #1 downloaded dance album on iTunes, and includes songs performed in RuPaul's legendary night club act. RuPaul is also the host, mentor and judge of RuPaul's Drag Race, a reality show on LOGO. Season 2 will premiere early 2010. RuPaul's lecture, titled "Observations from the Inside," will consider the notions of gender stereotypes, sexuality and self-expression.
I Stand for What is Right
The Search for Subatomic Realism
If you have entered the Athenaeum recently, you will have undoubtedly noticed new paintings adorning the walls. The works are part of an exhibition called The Search for Subatomic Realism, painted by artist Frederick Doar, P'12. A Princeton Politics major and former CEO and owner of Grace Baking Company, Mr. Doar has painted full-time for the past six years. From his studio in Sausalito, California, he has created over 250 paintings in his so-called neo-abstract school of Subatomic Realism. He calls his paintings "representations of reality at the sub-atomic level" and cites his influences as Pollock, De Kooning and Rothko among others. He calls the Athenaeum "an ideal environment to display works of this size and composition." You can check out a video of Mr. Frederick Doar's work here. This evening, we will formally open the exhibition to the public, which will run in the Security Pacific Dining Room through January 2010.
Also joining us is Frederick's uncle, Mr. John Doar. John is a champion of the civil rights movement, having served as the Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division for the U.S. Department of Justice from 1960 to 1967. During that time, he helped enable James Meredith, an African-American student, attend the then-segregated University of Mississippi. Mr. Doar also prosecuted the individuals who allegedly lynched three civil rights workers in the Mississippi Burning case and helped draft the Civil Rights Act of 1965. Mr. Doar also served as Special Counsel to the House of Representatives with respect to the impeachment of President Nixon and as counsel to the investigation of a sitting federal judge, who was ultimately impeached. A graduate of Princeton and Boalt Hall School of Law at U.C. Berkeley, he is now senior counsel at Doar Rieck Kaley & Mack in New York.
Liberation: Reflections on the 60th Anniversary of the People's Republic of China
The 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China marks an important milestone in China's modern history. The ruling Chinese Communist Party has defied seemingly impossible odds and survived. At home its legitimacy is propped up by economic prosperity and public optimism about the future. On the international stage, China has been accorded the status of a great power. How should we assess and interpret China's political and economic evolution since 1949? Is this a story of the triumph of one-party rule? What is the future of the Chinese Communist Party?
Professor Roderick MacFarquhar, one of the world's pre-eminent scholars on China, will share his reflections and insights with us on October 1 at the Athenaeum. He is the Leroy B. Williams Professor of History and Political Science and formerly Director of the John King Fairbank Center for East Asian Research at Harvard University. His publications include The Hundred Flowers Campaign and the Chinese Intellectuals (1960); The Sino-Soviet Dispute (1963); China under Mao (1966); Sino-American Relations, 1949-1971 (1972); The Secret Speeches of Chairman Mao (1989) (with Eugene Wu and Timothy Cheek); the final two volumes of the Cambridge History of China (1991)(edited with the late John Fairbank); The Politics of China 2nd Ed: The Eras of Mao and Deng (1997); and a trilogy, The Origins of the Cultural Revolution (1999). He was the founding editor of The China Quarterly, and has been a fellow at Columbia University, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, and the Royal Institute for International Affairs. In previous personae, he has been a journalist, a TV commentator, and a Member of Parliament. His most recent, jointly-authored book (with Professor Michael Schoenhals) on the Cultural Revolution entitled Mao's Last Revolution was published by the Belknap Press of Harvard University Press in 2006.
Professor MacFarquhar's visit, his second, to Claremont McKenna College is jointly sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies and the Athenaeum.

Right Time, Right Place: Coming of Age with William F. Buckley Jr. and the Conservative Moment
After the 2008 election, some luminaries in the conservative movement have returned to the drawing board to try and determine their political future. Many have mourned the loss of the William F. Buckley, arguably the intellectual forebear of modern conservatism, and the movement's shift away from his core philosophy. Richard Brookhiser, a senior editor with the National Review, recently published a biography of the conservative icon, who also served as a mentor to Mr. Brookhiser in his youth. At 15 in 1969, Mr. Brookhiser wrote a piece that became a cover story in the National Review criticizing anti-Vietnam War protests. He later attended Yale and immediately took a job at the magazine, where Buckley designated him his heir apparent. Nine years later, Buckley recanted his offer and no longer considered his protégée an apt candidate to replace the magazine's founder and editor-in-chief. Mr. Brookhiser's Right Time, Right Place: Coming of Age with William F. Buckley Jr. and the Conservative Moment (2009), retells his relationship with his mentor in which, "[h]e engagingly describes Buckley's simultaneously generous and aloof personality, his many idiosyncrasies, his enjoyment of his large and wealthy life, his preoccupation with his own fame and his attractive unpredictability in staking out positions on public issues," (The New York Times).
Brookhiser is the author of several books, many of them about the principles and history of the U.S. founders. He adapted his biography Founding Father: Rediscovering George Washington (1996) to a 2002 PBS documentary that he also hosted, and he is currently working on adapting Rediscovering Alexander Hamilton (2007) to a film as well. He has written for several magazines besides the National Review, including The New Yorker, The Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair, and The New York Observer, where he wrote a column from 1987 to 2007. In 2005, he received the National Medal for the Humanities Medal.
Mr. Brookhiser's talk is jointly sponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World and the Athenaeum.

A Traveler's Insurance Kit: Emergency Safety for the Road
Before you leave for your adventure, there are a few things you should gather. Do some pre-trip research and purchasing.Travel Safety Information
The first place to visit is the State Department Consular Affairs site at travel.state.gov. This site offers travel advisories, warnings, and other important information pertaining to visas and official type things. Vital when traveling to areas that have seen uprisings, wars or political instability.
Purchase travel insurance
Travel insurance is getting more affordable and more necessary. Make sure to purchase trip cancellation insurance, including medical and emergency evacuation coverage, before you go. If you plan a longer trip, or multiple trips, check out the new multi-trip policies that cover you all year long (See Safe All Year )
Make sure to be up to date on your required immunizations, and if you are traveling to a malarial area, make sure to bring plenty of anti-malarial medications (enough to last at least four weeks longer than you plan to stay…just in case).
There's nothing worse than arriving someplace without the necessary visa for entry. While you can often get visas for other countries once you arrive in your destination, it is important to check that first and make sure you have any visas you might not be able to procure en route.
There are several items to include in your kit, which is to be carried with you when you go. It's a good idea to make several copies of each of these things. Put one copy of everything in the same place as your passport and money. Hide another copy somewhere in your luggage, and give the third and fourth copies to people back home–Guardian Angels–who can help you with any emergencies from home. Guardian Angels should be willing and able to overnight you all the information in your kit, wire funds, whatever. If you can, choose several angels--sometimes connecting with just one can be difficult.
Nothing can tighten your throat like reaching for money that just isn't there anymore. Always keep a very hidden and untouched supply of money (enough to survive for three days) and, if possible, a few checks and one credit card. It may take a few days to have new credit cards delivered or funds wired. If you have a credit card, you can use an ATM machine--the front line of emergency cash. In an emergency, have your Guardian Angel make a payment or deposit to your bank or card company. (You can leave them some cash to do this with!)
The best way to keep a "no worries" attitude is to travel with your wits about you.

Stephanie of the East Village shared the following story with us about meeting a very quirky kitty named Mr. Snaggles at the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan, and how he seamlessly became a part of her family:
Many months after our cat passed away, I surprised my husband on his birthday by taking him to the ASPCA to adopt a cat. He had no idea where we were going, and was actually grouchy at first because he thought I was dragging him to a museum.
We spent all day looking at cats. We had such a pleasant experience at the Adoption Center. It is immaculate and has a friendly and well-informed staff.
My husband noticed him first—he was the one cat that was really responsive to us—a sweet, sad looking orange tabby with saucer-shaped eyes.
"He's only got three legs; no one will ever want him," I thought.
During his stay at the ASPCA, veterinarians tried to correct an extensive injury to his leg, but when his injury would not heal, they had no choice but to amputate it.
Once we brought him home, we followed the suggested procedure of confining him to a smaller room at first to let him get acclimated to his new surroundings. My husband, the new cat and I were all stuffed in our tiny bathroom. He immediately jumped into my husband's lap and started purring, so we decided to let him out into the rest of the apartment. He sat between us as we watched a movie and slept at the foot of the bed that night.
We named him Mr. Snaggles, homage to his less obvious but cuter flaw, his missing canine tooth.
A new amputee, he took some time getting used to his lack of leg. For about a month, he would forget it was missing and attempted to scratch with his phantom leg by stretching out and wiggling his stump. I was conflicted between laughing and crying when I first witnessed this, but now I just brush his side.
Finally accustomed to his predicament, Mr. Snaggles is the most affectionate, loving cat I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He has excellent grooming habits, cleaning himself as soon as he uses the litter box. He is a valued and fantastic new member of our family.

Thank you, Sandi. Your story made me cry and that's a good thing. I have spent most of my 49 years on this earth rescuing the one's that have been forgotten, abused and neglected. I will continue to do this until my days here are done. Thank you for being one of us!
Yes. You must always be on the lookout for the perfect cat-the perfect snuggler, the perfect mind-reader, the perfect love bug, that perfect inner cat or dog whether they are missing some outer feature or not. Good for you taking in this big sweetie! He is obviously a treasure.
I got sniffly reading your great story. Sounds like Mr. Snaggles brought you and your husband together as well as getting a great home. Thank you also for the wonderful pictures. I have a beautiful, loving rescue kitty (not special needs, but long haired and black which are not popular). She needs to be an only "child," so I enjoy looking at great kitty pictures. Thanks again for sharing.
Suggestion for a litter box for your tri-pod: The larger plastic container used to store suff and put under your bed. Use the lid underneath for a litter catcher. It is a little lower and allows a bigger area for your kitty to do his duty.
Its so amazing how animals bounce back even though they have been through so much. so awsome
I have lived your story, Stephanie. Mr. Snaggles is very much like our Nikki. We rescued Nikki in Florida when he was a kitten. We purchased a B&B in Virginia and relocated there. We were on 5 acres and there was only one road nearby. We found out the hard way that even one road can lead to disaster. Long story short...Nikki was struck by an SUV and disappeared for nearly three days. There was a large equestrian faciltiy nearby so we looked there and any other place, including the vast woodlands, but were not able to located poor Nikki. On the third day of him missing, I awoke to find him on the pool deck. At first he looked almost normal but when I approached him he tried to stand and walk. It was clear then that he had sustained major trauma to his lower extremities. There was a wonderful veterinarian that we had started to take our other 9 rescue kitties to. She and her staff worked to remove the more than 1000 maggots from Nikki's wounds and to salvage what they could of his legs. It turned out that he lost one leg and the other had to be fused into place at the hip joint. As horrible as all of this was for him...and us...he's the light of our lives. Nikki is a beautiful British Blue. He took to having only three legs right away and continues to race about the house even today. We adore him and wouldn't take anything in the world for him. I hope that everyone will see from your story and mine that allthough damaged and handicapped, amputees can and do make fantastic pets. This whole ordeal was very humbling, as I saw with my own eyes the determination in Nikki which made me realize just how insignificant the so called obstacles that we humans face every day actually are. Nikki never felt sorry for himself and was determined to be an even better cat than he was the day before. From that day on...I can only hope the achieve such a great disposition in life!
He's so cute! There's a great deal to be said for a cuddle cat.... We have 7 rescue housecats (even a long haired orange boy with a broken tail (how?) that I call Dagwood and his daddy calls "Snagglepus"!). Our best cuddle cat died last year at 14, and someone insisted I take our new (4 mos so far) Siamese girl - #7! We didn't WANT 7 inside cats, but she loves both of us so much we just gave up; she sleeps in our bed and puts her arms around our necks and cuddles - a Siamese? I just thank the Lord for her....
I was so happy to read this story. I have a cat who looks very similar to Mr. Snaggles, but no white and no missing tooth. Chevy is missing her back left leg, but is one of the most affectionate cats I ever knew. I feel so bad when she gets and itch and tries to use the phantom leg, so I scratch the ear, chin, shoulder, or whatever she needs scratched when I see her try. Congrats, Mr. Snuggles, on finding a happy home!!!
He's a beautiful cat. I can't help but notice his green eyes and those gorgeous markings on his forehead.
