Every day after school, she and best friend Penny bee-line home to watch the cool kids shake the rafters to the hottest tunes on Collins' program. When a dance slot opens on the show, Tracy gets help from her friend Seaweed, who puts enough groove in her step to win that dream role – and life is never the same again. But Tracy doesn't rest on her stardom, instead she uses her new celebrity to racially integrate the TV show and change the lives of Baltimore folks forever.

2015 Summer Rooftop Music Series - M&R Rush
M&R Rush had its beginnings in the early 70's, when a group of five high school friends from Chicago's Roseland neighborhood had a dream of making it in the music business. In 1980, "The Loop" radio in Chicago chose M&R Rush to be on their first hometown album, and the song "Rock & Roll Chicago", written and performed by M&R Rush, became the most requested song off the album. Recently reunited for special tours, M&R Rush has shared the stage with Styx, Survivor, Sammy Hagar, Judas Priest, Black Oak Arkansas, Head East and others. The excitement continues with the band's 2015 Ready...Set...Rock Tour!, playing their own hits as well as other classic rockers from Styx, Led Zeppelin, Foreigner and more! This summer, a different live performance is featured each month on the Joliet Area Historical Museum's Outdoor Rooftop Terrace! Doors open at 6:45 pm, and performers take the stage at 7:30 pm.

Had it been a one-two result, could you imagine the sibling rivalry?
You can hear it all over Lazaretto, but especially in the one-two punch of "Temporary Ground" and "Would You Fight for My Love?"
Visa, MasterCard, and the banks evolved into an irresistible one-two punch.
: good potent one-two punches
(also the old one-two or one-two punch or one-two blow) A combination of two blows with the fists, a short left jab plus a hard right cross, usually to the chin: zipping ''one-twos'' to the jaw (1811+)

Iowa Senior
40: 4.90 (estimated)
Has a decent first step that is able to shoot gaps and make plays in the backfield. Shows some ability to get leverage vs. the run and get some push upfield to press the line of scrimmage. Has a nice swim move, and uses his hands to fight off blocks. Plays with a high motor and keeps working to the quarterback. Plays disciplined and does a good job working on stunts.
Has limited range in pursuit and lacks the burst and speed to be a factor when you get him in space. Doesn't have ideal closing speed when he does get penetration. Doesn't have great size and gets pushed around at times vs. the run, particularly when double teamed inside. Tends to rely on his quickness to be able to make impact plays vs. the run. Needs to work on getting off blocks and can improve his technique in that regard. Needs to develop and improve his power move.
Continues Iowa's trend of high motor, but undersized defensive tackles after Matt Kroul and Mitch King, who he played behind as a sophomore. He usually lined up at right tackle beside Adrian Clayborn, and probably benefited quite a bit from the lack of double teams he had due to the talented group of defenders around him. He was productive in his two years as a starter, combining for 122 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, and 9.5 sacks.
Klug is a bit of a tweener as far as a pro prospect goes. His style of play is more akin to a one-gap tackle, but at his current size and frame, he is probably better cast as a two-gap end in a 3-4 scheme. But I think for either scheme, he's going to have to bulk up and get in the 285-295 pound range at the league. While I think he can play end in a 3-4 scheme, I'm not sure he'll ever be the sort of stack and shed defender that those schemes want. Instead, I think he's more of a one-gap penetrator that fits better as a 4-3 tackle. He lacks the ideal bulk to be an impact run defender or quickness to be an impact pass rusher, and likely will be a career backup regardless of the scheme. But I think teams will like his motor and he'll be able to stick around as journeyman reserve.
Klug's high motor gives him a chance in Falcons camp, but he's not going to win any roster spots because he needs at least a year on the practice squad to bulk up and get stronger. In his second summer, he has a chance to push for time and land a reserve spot. But long-term in Atlanta, he's probably just a stopgap No. 4 that eventually a more talented guy comes along and beats for a gig. The best you kind of hope for is a guy like Shawn Swayda.
The earliest Klug should go is the fifth round, although he'll probably be a better value in the sixth or seventh round since he's not a sure thing to stick.
1-poor, 2-weak, 3-above average, 4-very good, 5-elite
Strength: 3.0
Quickness: 2.5
Pass Rush: 2.5
Point of Attack: 2.5
Recognition: 3.5
Motor: 4.0

Indie Band Yellow Dogs Members Die In Murder Suicide
By editor
Originally published on Tue November 12, 2013 3:56 pm
Two members of the up-and-coming indie band The Yellow Dogs were among the dead in a Monday morning murder-suicide in Brooklyn. It's a tragic ending for a band that came from Iran to escape crackdowns on rock music.

They played kinda out of control most of the night. Like they were trying to go as fast as possible no matter what.
I love our defense and effort though. We're a fun team to watch.
I didn't watch last night, but listened for a while as I was grocery shopping. I like this team. I don't know how good they can truly be yet, but I like them.
This team has a chance to be very good. Defensively, they can be one of the best. Offensively, they have weapons but need some work. They haven't found themselves quite yet IMO.
They are going to be a very fast paced team, but they are having trouble balancing that fast style of play while playing under control. If the figure out how to balance the speed and intensity with control they will be a very good team.
I also would like to see more movement on the offensive end. They have the tendency to stand around too much at times. It is like they hit a lull after a while. Maybe it is a result of fatigue, but they don't seem tired. I tend to think it is a lack of focus at times. This team is about to hit a much tougher stretch of games after the next one. Time to get everything tightened up.
What kind of an offense is Cronin running this season?
10-0 as they smoke Marshall, albeit without Marshall's leading scorer in the contest.
Props to Mick Cronin for his comments on football and college athletes.
I expect the game to be called tight tonight. That isn't great for us since we tend to foul on every possession.
Either way, I think we win by 10.
Was wrong about the refs, they've done a great job so far. It's one of those nights where the 3s aren't falling and our offense looks terrible. We'll have a few of these this year. Defense is keeping us in it, gotta get hot in the 2nd half.
Good win. Just keep that train rolling.
Bearcats came out sluggish against Wright State, trailing 28-22 at the half. Jaquon Parker woke up here in the second half as UC is currently on a 23-6 run.
Nice bounceback by the Bearcats as they win on the road, besting the 24th-ranked Panthers of Pitt by a score of 70-61.
Nice to get some production out of Big Dave down the stretch. Him and Rubles were huge in the second half.

Last season, the Okland A's rode their laid-back style all the way to an AL West division title and their first playoff appearance since 2006. No team in the league appeared to have more fun down the stretch than the A's, and it's one of the main reasons their young roster was able to find so much success. During their improbable run, Coco Crisp introduced the "Bernie Lean" to his A's teammates. As you likely know, the "Bernie Lean" is a dance that started from the movie "Weekend at Bernie's." There have been several YouTube videos featuring people doing the bizarre dance and the A's even made their own video with it. Now, there is a bobblehead version of the dance. The A's plan to give these bad boys away to their first 10,000 fans before their game on June 29. BREAKING: Your first glimpse of the @coco_crisp Lean Bobblehead on June 29 vine.co/v/bnu9vFqgHFO — Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) February 4, 2013 I guess that's more of a bobblebody than a bobblehead, but either way I'm a fan. In an era where teams give away bobbleheads of players that aren't on their team anymore and can't even manage to accurately depict their own pitchers, it's refreshing to see a new idea. I give the A's an A (see what I did there?) for creativity. H/T Deadspin The post Oakland A's to give away Coco Crisp 'Bernie Lean' bobblehead dolls (Picture) appeared first on Larry Brown Sports.

The company said Wednesday that its offer is being made to protect academia from some of the flaws in "more vulnerable browsers" and to ensure a more secure, personalized Web-surfing experience for future generations of decision makers.
Technology companies aggressively court customers in the education market as a way to create allegiance among future technology experts and purchasers.
The offer has already been taken up by a number of high-profile institutions, including Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as Oxford University, according to the company.
Jon von Tetzchner, CEO of Opera, said customization features in the software may prove popular for schools and universities that want to use their own colors, badges or mascots to decorate the browser window.
On a more serious note, von Tetzchner added, "Opera is fully standards-compliant and offers extensive administration possibilities for network configuration, providing flexibility to system administrators as they make Opera a part of their university network."
Universities interested in Opera's free site license can visit Opera's Web site for more information.

Phoenix Suns
Dudley on Beasley: Reward outweighs the risk
Jared Dudley says Suns teammate Michael Beasley is a "chill, cool type of guy" that sometimes needs to have help getting going.
One of the team's big free agent signings in the offseason, Beasley is averaging a disappointing 11.8 points and 4.2 rebounds per game in 27.7 minutes per night. He's also shooting just 39 percent.
However Dudley, one of the leaders in the locker room, says it's not right to get down on Beasley because he's "still trying to find himself."
"There's some probably games where he just plays first and third (quarters), there's sometimes where if he didn't hit a shot early on he's frustrated," Dudley told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Tuesday.
Dudley said part of the learning process is knowing his shots will come, so there's no reason to force the offense.
"Play hard, play smart and let's see what the result is," Dudley said. "It's been up and down for everyone, not just Beas."
Dudley said part of his job on the team is to "stay on top of" the mercurial Beasley, and at just 23 many believe the former No. 2 overall pick could still blossom into a star.
"I feel like the reward outweighs the risk," he said.
That has yet to happen, though the Suns could certainly use improvement from the 6-foot-10, 235-pound forward.

Paris Ideas & day trip to Giverny
I am looking for two ideas. One would be what do you recommend on how to get to Giverny from Paris. I have visited Giverny before but had a car. This time I will not have a car. I know there are day tours and train plus buses. There will be four adults in our party. I have visited Paris several times and I always want to find new hidden gems. So my second question would be, does anyone have any ideas of hidden gems for an experienced Paris traveler. Thanks for your ideas,
