Indonesian Muslims rally against 'pornographic' Miss World
JAKARTA — More than 1,000 Islamic hardliners demonstrated against the Miss World beauty contest in host country Indonesia Thursday, denouncing it as "smut and pornography," as protests grow ahead of the show's weekend opening.
Opposition to the pageant in the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation has intensified in the past week, with demonstrators and some officials calling for the event to be scrapped.
Organizers have already dropped the contest's famous bikini round but the move has failed to appease hardliners and protests have been growing, with Thursday's the biggest yet.
Some 800 men and women from the Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia hardline group gathered in Jakarta outside the social welfare ministry, calling for the government's support to cancel the show.
They marched to the headquarters of MNC media group, which will broadcast the event and is the local organizer, brandishing banners that read "MNC: spreading smut and pornography", and "Miss World: pageant of deviation."
"Do we want our country to be seen as the most pornographic?" one protester shouted.
"We are going to keep rallying to tell people how degrading this event is to women," protest organizer Zikra Asri told AFP, surrounded by women in Islamic headscarves and loose black dresses.
In Medan city on the island of Sumatra, another 500 members of Hizbut Tahrir marched to government buildings, demanding the event be scrapped.
Despite growing opposition to the event, the organizers have said that "the show must go on" and insisted Wednesday the event would be respectful to Indonesian culture.
The Miss World contest begins Sunday on the resort island of Bali, where the majority are Hindu and women sunbathe on beaches in skimpy swimwear with little fear of causing offense.
The winner will be crowned on the outskirts of Jakarta on September 28.
While most Indonesians in the nation of 240 million people practice a moderate form of Islam, a vocal hardline fringe has succeeded in getting events cancelled in the past.
Last year, pop sensation Lady Gaga axed a concert after hardliners threatened to burn down the venue and criticised her for wearing only "a bra and panties."

Dr Jabbar Patel, theatre and film actor-director
I was born in Pandharpur and schooled in Solapur. Though I had visited Mumbai all through while pursuing medical education, and even later, my connect was with Pune. I still feel like I belong there. It was, after all, where I began my foray into acting and direction in theatre.
It was only when I started travelling to Mumbai with plays, both as an actor and a director, that I realised how Mumbai is really different from Pune, which takes its own sweet time to warm up to things – they want to hear what others say and then decide. In Mumbai, they either take to something immediately and make it a runaway hit or dump it totally.
Mumbai has a pace that makes it incomparable to any other city in the world. It's a city in a hurry, a restless city, noisy, loud and in-your-face brutal. It was only when I began working on films and started to interact with technicians at the labs that the real city behind this veneer came alive.
I made some very close friends like Dilip Kumar (a great fan of the iconic theatre production Ghashiram Kotwal), Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, the late Smita Patil and many others through whom I got to see another side of the city. I realised how socioculturally vibrant the city really is and how it carries several Mumbais wrapped within itself.
Yet, often the existential struggle can dehumanise and make the city mask its pain of keeping on running despite bloodied feet, in numbing all-pervading, racy noise. Do cities lose their soul in this process? I strongly believe they do.
There's a 5-6 minute soliloquy by Dilip Kumar's character Noshu. The way Dilip Kumar uses silent pauses to make that soliloquy powerful is amazing. I keep wondering where has Mumbai lost those silent pauses. How often have I been stuck in my car in traffic as I go from town to my Andheri home and wondered how this eerie noise of the hurtling city is just outside the glass window? To reconnect with its soul, Mumbai will have to pause and go silent occasionally.
But that I think is easier said than done. For, to be silent will mean facing up to the overwhelming gush of all that is discomforting and horrible. Does Mumbai have the heart for it? It will have to dig deep and reconnect with its original core strength to do that. I don't see it as having gone beyond recall, but time is surely running out. Quickly.

You can easily buy songs from iTunes for $0.99. Heck, you can pick up a couple CDs off of Amazon for a couple buck more. But Joel Tenenbaum decided to go the file-sharing route almost a decade ago and now he's going to pay for it. He's going to have to pay all of $675,ooo for it.
Tenenbaum was caught sharing thirty tracks on Kazaa. He was subsequently ordered to pay $5,250 for sharing the tracks, but he didn't. (But let me ask you, would you?) Anyway, the case went to court in 2007 and he was slapped with a hefty fine of $22,500 per track.
Tenenbaum appealed and a judge cut the fines back by 90 percent. But his story doesn't end well, because the record companies who filed the case in the first place also appealed–and won. Now Joel has to pay over half a million dollars for thirty measly tracks. No doubt this is to teach all the file-sharers and music pirates of the world a lesson by using him as an example.
The fine sounds crazy, but it's perfectly legal. Heck, courts can fine a guy for sharing a track from $750 to $150,000. If they opted to choose the maximum amount, Joel might even end up having to pay $4.5 million!
Tenenbaum's officially screwed until his lawyers can find some sort of loophope to let him worm his way out of the crazy fine. So folks, be smart about it. Don't share and let get caught (but it's probably best to just get your music legally. For your sake.)

Denzil Porter - The Truth
Artist: Denzil Porter
Producer: Da Illfellaz
Album: Porter's Pot
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 13 votes )
Remember that famous scene from Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson flick A Few Good Men, where Nicholson yells, "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!"? While Nicholson was talking about what went down the night a Marine was killed, the famous quote also applies to Denzil Porter's new jam The Truth. Some listeners might not be able to handle Porter's raw, rapid-fire flow, which sounds all the more gritty when placed over a crisp beat from the Da Illfellaz, but that shouldn't be a problem for fans of authentic, introspective lyrics. That said, the Bronx native is brutally honest on the record, delivering topics ranging from summer nights erupting in gunfire to what inspires him make his dreams a reality. Take a listen and let us know if you can handle it by leaving feedback below. There will be plenty
Paul Pierce truth telling when Denzil's new mixtape, Porter's Pot, is released on Thursday.

You'd be hard-pressed to find an accessories brand that lives up to its name better than Simplify. Ever mindful of the super-crowded schedule of the modern man and woman, Simplify has created a line of watches that is sleek, minimalist and oh-so-subtly futuristic (think contemporary design, not space disco). Fashioned from stainless steel cases and suede straps, Simplify's timepieces derive their eye-catching quality from bold color-blocking and linear features. Our personal favorite is the 500, whose digits have elegantly "fallen" off its face.
From elegant chronographs to sleek automatics, the best part of this sale isn't the slew of stylish timepieces — it's the unbeatable price. Well, okay, it's a tie. Both are pretty great.
These sturdy timepieces with artfully crafted cases will no doubt grab the attention of onlookers. The solid yet elegant Lucan, Arnold and Alpha models emphasize the numbers 12, 8, 10 and 4, instead of the usual 12, 3, 6 and 9. But it's not just the little details that separate these watches from the crowd—their durability, versatility and luxe quality ensure that they, and you, stand out.
Bold timepieces featuring precise movements and durable construction
Orange is the new black... Haven't you heard? To celebrate the fact, this sale features a slew of stylish watches in the color of the season — from quirky analogs by Simplify to sophisticated, exposed-movement versions by Stuhrling.

Routledge Run
This event was started in 1954, dedicated to Bob Routledge, a respected motorcycle mechanic and one of the signers of the 1939 GVMC incorporation. The original perpetual trophy features a pewter figure of a German army dispatch rider on a BMW. This may have been a souvenir brought back by returning soldiers after World War II, but it's exact origin and significance is a mystery.
Traditionally, the event was held as a Saturday ride to a campground, with a field meet on Sunday. Field meets involved tests of rider skill, such as riding a length of 2x4, throwing darts from a moving bike, rolling a barrel with the front wheel, a slow race (last one across the finish line wins, touch a foot down you're out), and any other crowd pleasing stunts the organizers could dream up.
The field meets gradually lost their appeal, and with the rise in dual sport riding, the event was given a fresh approach. The Routledge Run has in recent years been successful as a two-day ride, with street riders and dual sport riders taking separate routes to an overnight campout. The camaraderie and good times continue.

2007 CFN Pitt Preview
2006 CFN Pitt Preview
What you
need to know:
In LeSean McCoy, Dave Wannstedt has a back capable of carrying
the ball 25-30 times a game, while wearing out defenses in the
second half. He's a budding superstar who'll get even better
with experience and more support from the passing attack. The
Panthers like to grind it out, but that doesn't mean they'll
ignore the passing game. In fact, they need more balance to
improve on last year's paltry offensive numbers. Before getting
injured in the opener, QB Bill Stull was staring at a
breakthrough junior season as the starter. Now he's trying to
hold off the competition for a second straight year, while
playing catch with one of the Big East's deepest receiving
Passing: Pat Bostick
155-252, 1,500 yds, 9 TD, 13 INT
Rushing: LeSean McCoy
276 carries, 1,328 yds, 14 TD
Receiving: T.J. Porter
37 catches, 329 yds, 0 TD
of the offense:
Sophomore RB LeSean McCoy
Players who has to step up and become a star: Sophomore
LT Jason Pinkston
Unsung star on the rise: Junior TE Nate Byham
Best pro prospect: McCoy
Top three all-star candidates: 1) McCoy 2) Senior WR
Derek Kinder 3) Byham
Strength of the offense: McCoy, receiver depth
Weakness of the offense: The offensive line, uncertainty
at quarterback
Projected Starter: Junior Bill Stull was
all set to replace Tyler Palko a year ago when he injured his
thumb in the opener and never returned. In the spring, he
displayed an improved grip on the ball and on the starting job,
holding off a stiff trio of competition. At 6-3 and 200 pounds,
he's an accurate passer who won't blow anyone away with his arm
strength, but also won't make many mental mistakes. He has a
complete grasp of the offense and is a tough, gritty leader,
characteristics that resonate to the rest of his teammates.
Because he was injured so early in the season, Stull still has
to overcome a dearth of game experience, having attempted just
30 passes over the past three seasons.
Projected Top Reserves: When Stull went down last
September, it forced the program to remove the redshirt of
Pat Bostick, one of the most heralded recruits to ever sign
with the Panthers. He was predictably erratic in eight starts,
finishing 155-of-252 for 1,500 yards, eight touchdowns, and 13
interceptions. However, that experience plus a dedication to
trimming some fat in the off-season has the 6-3, 220-pound
Bostick back on track to be Pitt's franchise quarterback. If
he's not the No. 2 guy, don't rule out a redshirt season in
The longshot in the race at quarterback is sophomore Kevan
Smith, a top recruit in 2006, but a disappointment a year
ago. The first option off the bench when Stull was shelved, he
failed to hold off Bostick, and threw just a single touchdown
pass and four picks in five games. Smith will spend the summer
trying to avoid slipping to No. 4 on the depth chart.
Watch Out For… junior college transfer Greg
Cross. The 6-2, 215-pound Cross offers something the other
Panther quarterbacks can't, the ability to beat a defense with
his arm and his legs. He's got a strong arm and is nifty
outside the pocket, making him a natural fit, at a minimum, for
Pitt's wildcat package.
Strength: Depth. This time last year, Pitt had
three players who'd attempted 10 career passes between them.
Because of Stull's injury and the signing of Cross, the Panthers
now have four quarterbacks that took snaps and threw passes in
Weakness: Stull's lack of snaps. Although he's the
veteran and the likely starter, Stull has actually thrown fewer
career passes than Bostick or Smith. There's no replacement for
game experience, something the junior will have to accumulate in
Outlook: If you could somehow take Stull's
intangibles, Bostick's arm, and Cross' legs, the Panthers would
have their best quarterback in years. Instead, Pitt will hand
the offense over to the reliable Stull, occasionally tap into
Cross' unique talents, and hope that Bostick can be kept on ice
for a year.
Rating: 7
Running Backs
Projected Starters: Pittsburgh gave birth to a new
star last fall when it took the wraps off prized recruit
LeSean McCoy, a Freshman All-American who rushed for 1,328
yards and 14 touchdowns and caught 33 passes for 244 yards and a
score. Already a complete back at 5-11 and 210 pounds, he can
pick up the tough yards between the tackles, or bounce outside
and make people miss in the open field. He set the Big East
freshman rushing record with no help from the passing game and a
less than thorough knowledge of the playbook. With a season of
experience under his belt, he'll be even more dangerous as a
In senior Conredge Collins, Pitt boasts one of the
nation's top fullbacks, an improving blocker who can also
impersonate a tailback, if necessary. At 6-0 and 230 pounds,
he's started 16 games over the last two seasons, earning 62
carries, catching 27 passes, and scoring five times. Not your
typical one-dimensional fullback, Collins will be used as an
occasional change-of-pace to McCoy.
Projected Top Reserves: A deep Panther backfield
is led by senior LaRod Stephens-Howling, who's been
trumped by McCoy, but brings a spark and a veteran presence to
the second team. While not an every-down runner at 5-7 and 180
pounds, he's an ideal third down back, who can take a swing pass
and jet toward the sticks. He had a career-low 78 carries for
320 yards and a touchdown, adding 13 receptions for 73 yards.
A breakthrough spring has redshirt freshman Shariff Harris
closing in on Stephens-Howling and the backup job. He almost
certainly earned reps in the fall with his performance in March
and April, consistently bouncing off tacklers and gaining yards
after contact. At 6-1 and 190 pounds, Harris is a powerful
north-south runner who wastes no time getting to the hole.
Once considered the franchise at running back, sophomore
Kevin Collier is in danger of slipping down the depth chart
and out of relevance. After contributing as a true freshman and
flashing the speed to be a playmaker, the 5-11, 195-pounder sat
out last season with a dislocated wrist, allowing McCoy to own
the spotlight.
Once Collins graduates, the future at fullback belongs to
redshirt freshman Henry Hynoski, a bruising 6-2,
245-pounder with soft hands and a wicked stiff-arm. While he can
carry the ball if asked, his quickest path to more playing time
will come from improving as a run blocker and pass protector.
Watch Out For…McCoy to be vastly improved as a
sophomore. As long as the line does its job, he's going to
benefit tremendously from the season of experience, year in a
college weight room, and greater stability behind center.
Strength: McCoy. The Big East's premier running
back now that Ray Rice and Steve Slaton are in the NFL, McCoy
will be forced to weigh his future options at the end of the
season. While he's only a sophomore, he'll also be three years
removed from high school graduation, making him a candidate to
follow Rice and Slaton into the pros.
Weakness: A definitive No. 2 back. If, as
expected, McCoy logs 300 carries, it won't matter who's behind
him. However, if he's ever a scratch, Pitt doesn't have a true
backup, other than the diminutive Stephens-Howling, who's proven
he can handle 20-25 touches a game.
Outlook: It took a few years, but in McCoy, Dave
Wannstedt finally has a workhorse back that can bludgeon
opposing defenses and help set up the pass. Just in case his
star bolts at the end of the year, the coach would be wise to
make Harris and Collier get some developmental carries this
Rating: 9
Projected Starters: The Panthers' top two
pass-catchers from last year are back, but the big news is the
return of senior Derek Kinder from an ACL injury that
forced him to miss all of 2007. Before getting hurt, he was
considered one of the Big East's best receivers, catching 57
balls for 847 yards and six touchdowns, en route to a spot the
All-Big East First Team. A physical 6-1, 210-pounder at flanker,
Kinder is an outstanding downfield blocker and a receiver who
can box out his man to make the catch. He ran in the spring,
expecting to be at full strength by opening day.
The starter at split end will be junior Oderick Turner,
last year's big-play receiver after Kinder went down. Like his
partner, he's a handful at 6-3 and 200 pounds, who caught 36
passes for 496 yards and five touchdowns. With Kinder back to
attract some attention and the quarterback situation expected to
be less erratic, Turner could have the best season of his
Now that Darrell Strong is an Oakland Raider, junior tight end
Nate Byham has one less obstacle to becoming a bona fide
threat at the position. An outstanding downfield threat as a
pass-catcher, he had 15 catches for 210 yards and a touchdown,
numbers he's capable of obliterating this fall. At 6-3 and 245
pounds, Byham won't open many holes for the running game, but
that's not why he was recruited to Pitt.
Projected Top Reserves: Although he's sliding back
to the second team, junior T.J. Porter proved to be a
capable target when his opportunity arose last year. With a
chance to start five games, the elusive 6-1, 195-pounder had a
team-high 37 catches for 329 yards. However, Porter is too good
of a playmaker to average under nine yards a catch for a second
straight year.
Behind Turner, junior Cedric McGee is a tough, 6-1,
200-pounder who'll sacrifice his body to make the catch or
spring one of his teammates with a downfield block. Primarily a
special teams performer the last two seasons, he's caught 14
career passes, including a career-best eight a year ago, and is
coming off a solid spring.
Battling to back up Byham are juniors Dorin Dickerson and
John Pelusi, two completely different tight ends. The
6-2, 220-pounder is basically a wide receiver lining up near the
tackle. He's an explosive athlete with great speed and an
ability to pick up big chunks of yards after the catch.
Pelusi, on the other hand, is a blue-collar worker, a 6-3,
255-pounder, who'll mostly be used as a short yardage blocker.
He started three games a year ago, catching a pedestrian five
passes for 46 yards.
Watch Out For… true freshman Jonathan Baldwin.
As deep as Pitt is at wide receiver, Baldwin might be too
talented to keep out of the rotation. He's a 6-6, 225-pound
rookie who could split out wide or grow into a tight end. More
than just an exceptionally big target, he's a polished
pass-catcher with the potential to dominate before long in the
Big East.
Strength: Depth. With the return of Kinder and
the signing of Baldwin, it's all there for Pitt to house as much
receiving depth as any team in the league. Byham and Dickerson
have high ceilings at tight end, and the reserves, including
sophomore Maurice Williams are not that big of a drop-off
from the starters.
Weakness: Consistency. On paper, the Panther
receivers are big, fast, and imposing but the group is still
prone to too many mental and physical mistakes. Dropped passes,
in particular, are something the unit is determined to reduce in
the upcoming season.
Outlook: If the passing game doesn't improve on last
year's 104th-place finish, it won't be because of the
receivers and tight ends. They're big, athletic, and
experienced, a balanced combination that'll produce four
receivers that haul in at least 30 receptions.
Rating: 8
Offensive Line
Projected Starters: If Pittsburgh fails to reach
its goals in 2008, there's a great chance it'll be traced to an
offensive line that lost three starters, two who were selected
in April's NFL Draft. The veteran of the rebuilt line will be
senior C.J. Davis, a seasoned veteran who's started 30
games in-a-row at left guard. At his best on running downs, the
6-3, 315-pounder is coming off surgery and an average junior
season, so he'll be dedicated to finishing his Panther career on
a high note.
On the opposite side, the right guard will be junior John
Malecki, a former defensive tackle still getting comfortable
in his new surroundings. While he's tough and very physical at
6-3 and 275 pounds, there's no telling at his size how he'll
handle being the starter on a new side of the ball. On defense,
Malecki was pretty effective, finishing second on the team with
four sacks.
The biggest question mark is at center, where junior college
transfer Robb Houser is hoping to make a smooth
transition from Butte College to the Big East. At 6-2 and 285
pounds, he was coveted for his power and quickness getting to
the second level, filling a large need for the Panthers.
Slated to play tackle will be junior Joe Thomas and
sophomore Jason Pinkston, both of whom have something to
prove. For the 6-5, 300-pound Thomas, he needs to show he can
make a seamless move from right guard to right tackle. He can be
nasty at the point of contact and has started seven games in
each of the last two seasons, but hasn't quite lived up to
expectations since being a hot-shot recruit. Now would be a
terrific time for Thomas to blossom.
Pinkston was on his way to becoming something special before a
shoulder injury sidelined him for the final nine games. At 6-4
and 300 pounds, he has the footwork and quickness to eventually
emerge into one of the league's premier pass blockers. Pinkston
did not participate in spring drills, but is expected back in
time to protect the quarterback's backside.
Projected Top Reserves: At tackle, Chase
Clowser is a 6-7, 330-pound senior who has lettered in each
of the last three seasons. Mostly used on special teams and
late in blowouts, he'll have to be ready for an expanded role if
Thomas or Pinkston are unable to go.
The reserve guards are going to be 6-4, 305-pound senior
Dominic Williams and 6-4, 280-pound junior John Bachman,
a pair of returning lettermen. While Williams has had trouble
cracking the lineup throughout his career, his experience and
know-how offer value to the second team and younger Panthers.
Bachman is one of the program's most versatile linemen, capable
of playing center and tackle, as well as guard. Very agile and
quick off the snap, injuries have been a factor that has kept
him from reaching his full potential at Pitt.
Watch Out For…Houser's development at center. The
Panthers need him to be competent right from the opener,
especially with so much uncertainty flanking the pivot. Behind
Houser is sophomore walk-on Alex Karabin, so forget about
a safety net.
Strength: The left side. Assuming Pinkston's
injury doesn't linger, the Panthers will be in solid shape left
of center. While Davis is the steady vet at guard, Pinkston has
the raw assets to develop into one of the Big East's better left
Weakness: Overall talent level. At this moment,
the first two units have far more question marks than blockers
who can absolutely, positively be counted on to deliver.
Pinkston and Davis are returning from injuries, and Thomas is
changing positions, adding to an already tenuous situation.
Outlook: The Pittsburgh line was inconsistent last
year, when future pros Jeff Otah and Mike McGlynn were around.
Once the Panthers conclude the MAC portion of their schedule,
this unit is going to struggle badly to move opposing defensive
lines off the ball.

Spunkfest - Bobby Golden
Waiting for his buddies to show up, Bobby decides to "entertain†himself. "We got a nice little porno here . . . lemme fast forward to the juicy part.†Bobby's shaved head gives him a certain edginess that is softened here a by his beach boy look (baggy blue shirt and white pants). He works up a pretty nice bulge before releasing a pretty big sausage and waving it around to plump it up. As it hardens, Bobby offers an impressive "side shot.†After lubing up and stroking a little more, he offers an even more impressive side shot, sporting more than 8 inches of solid hard wood. Kicked back in a chair, Bobby jacks confidently with an open-palm technique that obviously works well for him. He bites his lower lip a lot and frequently checks himself out on camera. Soon he opens his mouth and sticks out his tongue. His spunk is too thick and goopy to shoot all the way into his mouth and lands on his chest. Without hesitation, Bobby feeds himself several creamy spunk oysters: "Bi

Richard Linklater reveals follow-up to 'Boyhood'
Eclectic director to make spiritual sequel to 'Dazed And Confused'Buy DVD and Blu-ray
from Amazon UK
Richard Linklater will follow Boyhood with a project he's referred to as the "spiritual sequel" to his 1993 high school comedy Dazed And Confused.
Inspired by his own college years, the Before Sunsrise director's next film, titled That's What I'm Talking About , will be set on a 1980s university campus and revolve around the trials and tribulations of a group of friends in their first year trying to make the baseball team.
According to the Hollywood Reporter Linklater has dropped out of filming The Incredible Mr Limpet – a live-action/animated hybrid remake of a 1964 film – to use the success of 12-years-in-the-making Boyhood as a platform to complete another personal project.
Set in 1976 amid the world of stoners, jock and geeks, Dazed And Confused (Linklater's semi-autobiographical follow-up to debut feature Slacker) followed a group of Texan high school friends experiencing a last summer of parties and heartache before college. The film starred Matthew McConaughey alongside Ben Affleck and Jason London.
The filmmaker is also attached to direct Will Ferrell (Anchorman) and Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) in the adaptation of Daniel Asa Rose's memoir Larry's Kidney.

After more than a decade of waiting, fans of Capcom's slash-fest will finally dive head-first into a new Strider adventure. Sure, it's a high-definition reboot of the original arcade game instead of a sequel, but it's better than nothing. Hiryu's debut in 1989 left a big impression on gamers with its big, colorful sprites, fast-paced combat, and teeth-grinding difficulty. Yet, 11 years went by without a new entry in the series (Strider 2), and then 14 more years for the Double Helix-developed "Strider HD." So, what exactly has Hiryu been doing for the past 25 years? Check out the gallery below for a retrospective of Hiryu's few starring roles as a master assassin, plus his part-time gigs as a street brawler, trivia guru, and trading card model. Gallery: GalleryAbove: Hiryu's first directive as a Strider takes him across the world in search of Grandmaster Meio, a mysterious and powerful being set to conquer our planet. Capcom ported Strider to home consoles like the TurboGrafx-16 and Genesis.

Tight end Rob Gronkowski has only been in the NFL for three seasons, but his impact on the New England Patriots franchise history books has already been felt. Record-setting regular season touchdown totals are nice for the resume, however Super Bowl rings go a lot further, and one can argue that when it comes down to crunch time, Gronk has done nothing to help add any rings of bling to the fingers of his teammates or any meaningful, shiny hardware to the trophy cases in The Hall at Patriot Place.
On Tuesday, the 24-year-old happy-go-lucky tight end underwent back surgery to repair a disc issue. This is unrelated to the disc surgery he had in 2009 as a University of Arizona standout. The clock now starts ticking… he has just 83 days to recover before the Pats open their season September 8th near Gronkowski's hometown against the Bills. Missing regular season games is one thing, but if you look back at Gronk's history with the injury bug, that bug has bitten him in the most inopportune times so far in his pro career. Two seasons ago, when Gronk had a regular season for the ages, he fell victim to a high ankle sprain in the AFC Championship Game, thanks to a tackle by Pats' #1 villain Bernard Pollard. The injury would render the hulking tight end largely ineffective come time for Super Bowl XLVI against the Giants, a game the Pats lost by just 4 points. A game that in the final seconds, maybe could have been won, if Gronk was able to catch the final end zone pass from Tom Brady. Days later, Gronk required surgery to repair strained ligaments in that ankle.
Last season, Gronk's shaky health history reared its ugly head once again. Late in a 59-24 rout over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11, Gronkowski broke his left forearm. This break would sideline him for the next five games down the stretch, returning in the final week to catch a touchdown against the Dolphins. Here comes playoff time though, and here comes another setback for #87, as Gronk re-breaks the forearm in the first quarter of the Pats' first playoff tilt against the Texans. That arm snap would wipe Gronk off the roster for good, and while New England got past Houston with relative ease, the Pats would fall in the following week to Baltimore, in a game that certainly could have at least been more competitive with a healthy Gronkowski in the middle of the field catching passes.
So whether you put 1% or 100% of the blame on Rob Gronkowski for New England's last two playoff flameouts, the fact remains that at least a slice of the blame pie belongs on Gronk's plate. Are his recent injuries fluky in nature? Maybe. But the bottom line is, players can't contribute to the team's success from the sideline or from the operating table. The Patriots have had a fourth Super Bowl win elude the franchise for too long now, and fans have to believe that if Gronkowski was able to perform at a high level over the past two postseasons, a fourth ring would have, and should have, been a reality.
Now, with 2013's season upon us, Gronk's health is again in question. Maybe he'll be all well and good by playoff time this time around, but if Gronkowski is forced to miss the first six games of the season while he sits on the PUP list, will early losses cost the Patriots a first-round bye? Potentially, yes. Could a fourth Super Bowl ring avoid coming to Foxboro yet again, because #87 hasn't been able to stay on the field? Potentially, you betcha. The upcoming season already has enough question marks revolving around this roster, especially with the departure of Wes Welker. Those of us with high hopes for the team in 2013 may have those hopes hanging on the question mark that is Rob Gronkowski's forearm, and the ability of the big man to stay on the field when it matters most.

Top 5 Childhood Stars That Grew Up to Be Hot
Some you called, and some were surprises... without further ado, here are 5 child TV stars that grew up to be smoking hot.
5. Christine Taylor
She was Melody from the Nickelodeon show "Hey Dude" was the sweet blonde, a foil to the rough and tumble Brad.
Melody cleaned up nice... dating Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser) on her way to marrying Ben Stiller and appearing opposite him in the movies Dodge Ball and Zoolander.
#4 Soleil Moon Frye
Perhaps the 80s show with the least chance of making it on the air today (a crusty old guy who wore trenchcoats adopts a young girl to come live with him?), Punky Brewster's star Soleil Moon Frye was a cute kid.
After Brewster, she acted in a few bit parts here and there, marrying and having two kids. She was also well known for having breast reduction surgery at the age of 16, going from a 36DD to a 34C cup (her nickname previously had been Punky Boobster).
#3 Tatiana Ali
Ashley Banks, the youngest kid in the fictional Banks family in the Will Smith vehicle The Fresh Prince of Bell Aire, was the kind of child star that you knew would grow up to be beautiful.
Tatiana started a successful music career after Fresh Prince ended, reaching Gold with her album "Kiss the Sky." Tatiana Ali is now traveling the United States as a spokesperson for Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential Campaign. Ali is heading voter registration drives at college campuses
#2 Nicole Eggert
Nicole Eggert played the eldest daughter, Jamie Powell, in the show, "Charles in Charge."
Nicole was cast as Summer Quinn in the inexplicably popular show Baywatch.
And You saw this one coming...
#1: Alyssa Milano
Alyssa Milano was the unassuming Samantha Micelli, daugher of Tony Danza's character Tony Micelli. She was also seen in Arnold Schwarzenegger's Commando, as John Matrix's daughter Jenny Matrix.
Alyssa rebelled after Who's the Boss, shedding her innocent image with starring roles in adult-oriented B-films like Poison Ivy. Afterwards, Milano took on a number of TV roles, including Melrose Place, Spin City, and most notably, Phoebe in Charmed. It is practically impossible to pick out only a few pictures capturing Alyssa's amazing beauty, but here's an attempt...
digg_url = 'http://digg.com/celebrity/5_Child_TV_Stars_that_grew_up_Beautiful';
jennifer love hewitt may also be one them
alysso...most definately....

surprised none of the chicks from Saved by the Bell were on here....they all grew up hot
I think the Olsen Twins, although dangerously skinny, are also very hot.
no not all of us were sexy in our own way...maybe young but you have no right to judge other people...i believe they have a point...you shouldn't have to take your clothes off to be "beautiful" i think the one thing that makes beautiful people is their personality

I always thought that one of those most beautiful people in the stardom of hollywood was Hilary Duff but after watching a few interviews she's done I've completely lost respect for her just because she's a *****...she has completely let the fact that she's got money and fame and people know her name go to her head and that's the last thing people want to see...these girls turned women have made themselves "hot" but taking their clothes off and that's not fair to the rest of the woman population!
We were all young and sexy in our own way. Get over it!!!
if you were that hott you would be showing off the goods too. dont hate.
It is a sad statement isn't it Warmthoughtsofyou? I keep waiting for a childstar that transitions into womanhood who is willing to be a class act and not feel the need to prove they are an adult by shedding their clothes. But I keep waiting and waiting. I thought Miley Cyrus might be one to keep to a higher standard. But now the rumors are flying that she wants more mature roles and Hugh Hefner already says he wants her in Playboy when she reaches 18.
They're all beautiful, but really...can ONE ******* woman keep their clothes on for 5 seconds? Why do all women have to be naked to be seen as beautiful. That's just ridiculous.
Excellent choices. There are others that turned out very hot, but these are all prime examples.
wow....i see a trend here. then, cute girls...now, hot women. or are they too hot for their own good?

Anatomy Classroom, 2012
Price on Request
Living Room, 2013
Subway, created: 2012–printed: 2013
Artist's reception:
Thursday, October 17, 2013
6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
ClampArt is proud to announce Lori Nix's second solo show at the gallery, which coincides with the release of her first monograph (Decode Books: Hardcover, 76 pages, 11 x 13.6 inches, $60).
Since 2005, Lori Nix has been meticulously at work on her series entitled "The City." Building tiny dioramas in her studio in Brooklyn, she then photographs the intricately detailed constructions with an 8 x 10-inch view camera. The painstakingly obsessive pro-cess is slow going with only a few artworks produced each year. In 2010, ClampArt exhibited eleven of the large-scale photographs from the series. For the 2013 show, nine prints will be on display, representing Nix's move toward the end of this particular body of work.
"The City" (2005-2013) imagines indoor, post-apocalyptic, urban scenes—what remains after all the humans are dead and gone. Critic Barbara Pollack writes in her essay for the book: "In Subway (2012) we see an empty rusting subway car, its floor buried in sand. Nix tells me that this particular subway, the B train, is the one that she rides every day out of Brooklyn into Manhattan. Nix had found inspiration for the image at the moment the train emerges from the darkness underground to cross the Manhattan Bridge, revealing the New York skyline. Yet here in the photograph the subway is no longer capable of travel or transporting the artist into a new realm. It is dysfunctional except as a signpost of the end of a civilization, the river it used to cross replaced by a sea of sand dunes." Later Pollack concludes: "[H]opelessness would dominate Nix's dioramas, if not for the absolute artistry which transcends her pointed critique. . ."
Lori Nix has received several photography awards. She is a 2004 and 2010 New York Foundation for the Arts Individual Artist Grant recipient. In 2001 she was awarded a residency at Light Work (an internationally recognized photography organization in Syracuse, New York). Nix was a 1999 recipient of an Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist Grant; a 1998 recipient of a Greater Columbus Ohio Arts Grant; and she participated in the Artist in the Marketplace program at the Bronx Museum of the Arts in 2000. Museum exhibitions include "Fresh! Contemporary Takes on Nature and Allegory" at the Museum of Glass, Tacoma, Washington; "Picturing Eden" and "Vital Signs" at the George Eastman House in Rochester, New York; Katonah Museum of Art's "I Love the Burbs" in Katonah, New York; and "Innocence" at the New Britain Museum of Art, New Britain, Connecticut. In 2012, the University of Maine Museum of Art mounted a solo show of Nix's photographs. Her work is represented in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington, DC; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, Texas; George Eastman House, Rochester, New York; Worcester Art Museum, Worcester, Massachusetts; Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas; Harvard Business School, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park, Kansas; Middlebury College Museum of Art, Middlebury, Vermont; El Paso Museum of Art, El Paso, Texas; and the University of Maine Museum of Art, Bangor, Maine; among many others.
For more information and images please contact Brian Paul Clamp, Director, or see www.clampart.com. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) executives accused they were misled by the British software maker, Autonomy when former CEO Léo Apotheker made $11.7 billion in combined cash and assumed debt acquisition in 2011. The core allegation is that management team at Autonomy, the British software firm cooked their books in such a way that it made the Autonomy seem more valuable than it was.
Catherine A. Lesjak, Hewlett's chief financial officer, said that without the help from such aggressive accounting, Autonomy most likely had operating margins of 28 to 30 percent, rather than 40 to 45 percent.
"We were shocked and very surprised because no one had actually been in touch with us," Mike Lynch, the former chief executive of Autonomy said.
On a conference call on Tuesday, John F. Schultz, H.P.'s general counsel, said Autonomy kept opaque books. "Critical documents were missing from the obvious places and it required that we look in every nook and cranny," he said.
Hewlett's chief executive, Meg Whitman, said that Autonomy would still play an important role at her company.
"This will be a growth engine for H.P.," she said, then added, "Perhaps not as big a growth engine as we originally anticipated."
Here are some bullet points of what's been going on:
- Now CEO Meg Whitman, Chairman Ray Lane and other directors pushed the deal in 2011.
- Allegations came just 3 months after Hewlett-Packard announced an $8 billion writedown related to Autonomy acquisition.
- Of HP's $8.8 billion writedown , $5 billion is related to the alleged fraud at Autonomy.
- It took about HP about fifteen months to go public with allegations of accounting improprieties.
- Hewlett-Packard says Autonomy was selling some low-margin hardware at a loss but booking those sales as high-margin software sales.
- Autonomy was allegedly hiding this by reporting some portion of the cost of those products as a marketing expense, rather than as a cost of goods sold.
- Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ) has plunged 75% since it ousted CEO Mark Hurd in August 2010.
- HP has a market value one-tenth the size of International Business Machines Corp. and one-sixth Oracle Corp. (ORCL).
- HP is also accusing Autonomy of not properly reporting deals to license its software to resellers and partners.
- Hewlett-Packard is also accusing Autonomy of not booking its software-as-a-service sales correctly. Revenue on software-as-a-service deals should only be recognized when the customer pays, according to accounting standards—typically on a monthly subscription basis.
- The hardware sales were unprofitable, and accounted for 10 to 15 percent of Autonomy's revenue before the purchase.
- Autonomy also booked revenue too early and when a proper sale hadn't taken place.
- In July 2009, Kynikos Associates, the firm founded by the investor James S. Chanos, wrote a detailed report that criticized Autonomy's accounting in ways that now appear prescient.
- Kynikos said that Autonomy's deferred revenue appeared lackluster. It added that the company might have masked the underperformance with acquisitions.
Do you think HP allegations on former management team at Autonomy is right?
Is it the tech business that makes it easier for senior executives to indulge in questionable accounting practice?
Management's credibility is in doubt – Why Hewlett — and its auditors — could not spot what it now says it has uncovered?

UN Arms Trade Treaty opens for signature Monday
UNITED NATIONS — The first international treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar global arms trade opens for signature Monday with key arms sellers and buyers expected to be among several dozen nations that sign.
The U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the treaty on April 2. It will not control the domestic use of weapons in any country, but it will require countries that ratify it to establish national regulations to control the transfer of conventional arms and components and to regulate arms brokers.
What impact it will have in curbing the estimated $60 billion global arms trade remains to be seen. The landmark U.N. treaty will take effect after 50 countries ratify it.
Supporters have organized a high-level signing ceremony at the United Nations on Monday which is expected to include dozens of countries.

Born: March 1, 1930 | Died: June 26, 2010
Born in New Orleans, Powell is, perhaps, best known for his 12-year tenure (1951-63) with Count Basie, and for his eight-bar contribution to the Count's all-time big hit, April in Paris. But more than that, Powell, in his all-too-rare solos with the Basie band, displayed a blues-laced, story-telling approach to improvisation. Check out, for instance, his masterfully balanced two-chorus statement on Blues Backstage from 1954, or In a Mellotone, recorded in a live performance five years later.
After leaving Basie, Powell embarked upon a rich, diverse musical career. A versatile and accomplished player, he has worked extensively on Broadway, television, and on numerous recordings....

The World Boxing Councils 48th annual convention opened this morning at the Royal Hotel in Cancun. A huge standing-room-only crowd, estimated at around 800, filled the hotel ballroom at this spectacular tropical resort for the ceremonies. The entire WBC Board of Governors, as well as most of the men and women in the general assembly, wore white shirts to show support for the global climate change movement and pink ribbons for Breast Cancer Awareness.
In his annual opening day speech, WBC President Dr. José Sulaimán said, I cannot find the words to express my gratitude and happiness to see, once again, all the faces of the my dearest friends and members coming from thousands of miles from all five continents.
We are two years away from celebrating 50 years in the world of professional boxing. The very best world champions of the last half of the 20th Century, and many of all time, have been WBC champions. Many of the best fights in history have also been of the WBC. Our organization is one of the largest in country affiliations with 164.
Boxing was, 35 years ago, a legalized sport of savages. I am very proud to say that thanks to all of you, and the Board of Governors, boxing has never been as safe in the whole 300 years that its been documented as it is today.
I am now within a few days of celebrating my 35th anniversary as president of the WBC. Those 35 years have flown faster than the wind. If I could go back, I would take the same 35 years and I would not change one single minute of it, because boxing has given me the key of living.
I think of the boxers as being my sons. I have done in my life the same as all the members of the Board, and all of you, who try to find the right, appropriate measures for the protection of them.
I know that my best years have flown away, but I believe that I still count, with the support of all of you in my Board of Governors, to continue to serve the best that I can for boxing and the WBC.
Boxing today is going in disorganized directions, and even though the WBC green and gold belt is the dream of all boxers in the world, I intend to have a summit of the four best-known boxing organizations of the world, and this summit will be to have only one premiere champion of the world, even when everybody thinks that WBC champion to be the absolute champion.
I believe that today, many boxing officials of the world are trying to offer only what they want. If we continue this way, we are going to lose direction. We are going to allow others to lead boxing, and that cannot happen. We have the credibility, discipline, and respect to keep boxing a sport for all of us.
I recommend, once and for all, the institution of an international boxing license. Today we have many pirates in the boxing gyms of the world, stealing fighters from the gymnasiums without medical examinations, without the official provisions of the boxing commissions, taking a featherweight to fight a welterweight, taking a very low level boxer to fight a hero, and commit frauds to the world. We must change that, and we must tell to all the boxing commissions of the world that no boxer coming from any other city or from abroad can fight without this international boxing license. Thats the only way to keep discipline, and really provide for the health and protection of the life of the human being that the boxer is.
I also intend to re-open, stronger than ever, the WBCs Awareness Programs against alcohol, drugs, and AIDS, with posters in every single gymnasium of the world from Africa to Mexico to Argentina to Russia. We also want to bring pamphlets with every single item that boxers should know about drugs, alcohol, and AIDS, and how to protect themselves. We are also going to edit videos that we are sending all over the world to give clinics of prevention. We dont want to cure we want to prevent them from going to alcohol, drugs, and AIDS.
It is also very important that we bring uniformity in training. The WBC is starting in January, 2011, the authorization for boxing gymnasiums all over the world to institute national boxing schools with the best accessories for the gymnasiums, with the most advanced medical teachings, the most advanced technical and tactical teachings, according to the 48 years of experience of our organization.
One of the recent matches I saw was the punishment of a boxer, and the referee did nothing. It has been a custom with referees not to stop any fight until the time they see 15, 20 or more punches without response. Then they will stop the fight. I come to this convention to talk with all the referees here. They are the best in the world, I assure you of that. The WBC judges and referees are the absolute best because they participate in yearly clinics. This is a matter more of basic guidelines, policies, the absolute request that a referee must have as his first objective the ideal of protecting the condition and the life of the boxer. Everything comes next.
The judges - unfortunately, many times we have to work with judges of other organizations or local commissions that do not have the slightest idea of the basic guidelines in the rulebook of the WBC. We will demand that the judges have superior training. The judges have justice in their hands. The referees have safety in their hands. No judge can go home knowing that he might be doubted about his competency and honesty. The winner in the ring must be the winner on the cards.
There are many other things that we are going to see at this convention. I would like to have a new world of boxing. I would like to have a new planning of boxing. I would like to have new opportunities to project into stardom the best boxers of the world. Devon Alexander, to me, is the best in his division. Cochulito Montiel is the best bantamweight. Erik Morales is one of the greatest boxing heroes in Mexico, and he is returning to fight to conquer his fourth title of the world.
Omar Niño was punished unfairly by an American boxing commission who believes that they rule the world, and they punished him for drugs that did not exist. We tried to make sure that the punishment that he received was right. We took him to a laboratory at UCLA in Los Angeles. They tested the hair that keeps six months for six months, according to the lab, the hair keeps any substance that might be a drug. There was nothing 45 days after his fight. Fortunately, he was such a good fighter that he came back to regain in the ring his title.
We have here Carlos Zarate, the greatest bantamweight puncher of all-time. He won his first 23 fights by knockout, most in the first round. He was a great champion, and is now chairman of the boxing commission in Mexico City. We have many great champions here with us. When they go into the ring, they need to know more about what the WBC is. What do they represent? And I ask all of the WBC champions that when they go into the ring, they are representing the world. They are representing many, many poor people in the world who have them as their heroes. Never lose that in your mind. Dignity, pride is what you have to fight for. Money should come second.
I am sure that the Board of Governors will see, with extreme seriousness, the proposals that I, and others here, are making. We must understand that this is the 21st Century, the 20th Century is behind. We have the future to see, the past is in the books. We must devote the best of ourselves to find how we can keep the sport of boxing from disappearing.
I would also like to strongly project the reality of my country, Mexico. Mexico is a country of peace, a country of hospitality, of happy people who express their desire for all people of the world to visit us. This is a country of peace, it is not the country that is being signalled in the world as a country of blood and murder. There are many, many countries of the world who do have those problems, but not Mexico. Mexico is in the hands of minorities who are trying to hurt my country because of the organizations of drugs. We have nothing to do with that. We are the passing country to deliver the drugs to other countries where they love it. But we have to suffer the consequences.
Mexico is the Mexico that you are seeing here, the one that youll see in the lobby of the hotel, that youll see wherever you go. I kindly ask of you to please help my country by telling your people of all the countries that you come from, what Mexico is, and that we have our doors open to everybody coming from everywhere in the world with the assurance that this is a place of peace.
2010 is the year of our bicentennial celebration of independence, and also the centennial celebration of the Mexican revolution. A peace that I felt myself, as a child, for Mexico has risen to become the greatest of its history. I have gone from post to post, from border to border, to many boxing promotions that were totally sold out, without one single act of violence seen. That is our Mexico. Boxing has participated to prove that we are a country of a big heart, and also a country of peace.
To say that I am almost celebrating 35 years as the president, I cannot even believe it myself. I went to resign in Tunis, and I came back as the president. Then I met Mr. Don King, and he was an important factor for the WBC to gain what we have gained. Don and I don the gloves once in a while, but I believe that our feelings are of deep affection.
There are many, many promoters here, many new promoters, who I believe will be in the future the hope of boxing. All are my friends. And I hope at this convention, we all shake hands. We bury our hatchets and we will continue working for the world of boxing, which is a great sport.
I believe that during all those years, I have learned many things. I have felt the unquestionable friendship and unity of all the people of the world of boxing. I also learned that a leader, even with multitudes, leads a life of lonliness, and many times of sadness the fact of giving ourselves to all. Sometimes we perceive that we are empty, that we need attention because of the business that we are in. For we are people like you and me, as human beings, and I have sometimes felt deeply alone.
I have also learned, in my style, to listen to everybody because if I dont listen, I will not understand the influence that people would have. I have never seen a king up, and I have never seen a shoeshine boy down. To me, everyone is equal theres no difference. Some might be black, some white, some in the middle, but we are of the same heart and same mind, so I always give to everybody the same importance.
I have always been very humble and simple, because those were the teachings of my father and my mother. I believe that arrogance and pretense are only belongings of mediocre people. Simplicity and humility are the belongings of good people. I detest arrogance.
I have always tried, in boxing, that we have to prevent, not to be sorry about. We have to act to prevent what might happen that is wrong. Also, one of the matters of my style has been to give everything that they want, that they deserve, to all of the people that work around me. They work with loyalty, with determination, all for the sport of boxing. They get the best of the WBC, anything that they want, because they deserve more than me.
I also take impartiality and justice as the guidance for my life. Justice and impartiality have no substitute.
I want to have detractors and enemies in my house. Because if they want to pee, I want it to be to the street and not to me.
Nothing is as important to me as loyalty, because loyalty comes from the heart. Loyalty to our nations, to our institutions. Loyalty is the most important thing for me as a human being.
I always try to mediate, to resolve, before I go into the ring because those who know me know that when Im in the ring, I go the 12 rounds. I never stopped before.
This is the end, and I would like to express to all of you that you make my life. And be assured that on the last day of my life, I will still be breathing boxing.
Thank you.
