4.06 Falsification of Admissions Application
4.06 Falsification of Admissions Application
Occasionally candidates for admission will make inaccurate or misleading statements or submit false material in connection with their application. In most cases, these misrepresentations are discovered during the admission process, and the application is rejected. If a misrepresentation is discovered after a candidate is admitted, the offer of admission is withdrawn. If a misrepresentation is discovered after a student has registered, the offer of admission will be revoked, and the student will be required to leave the School. If the discovery occurs after a degree has been awarded, the degree will be rescinded. The determination that an application is inaccurate or contains misrepresentations rests with the Office of Admissions, which has the authority to resolve the matter outside the student disciplinary process.

text: The Attilan wiki last edited by Teerack on 03/10/15 05:56PM View full history OverviewAttilan is the ancestral home of the Inhumans, a highly advanced offshoot of the human race. About seven thousand years ago, the Inhumans grew tired of centuries of persecution by their more primitive parent race, and decided to create a place of refuge for themselves. Under the leadership of King Myran, the Inhumans chose as a site for their city a small island in the northern Atlantic Ocean, located about two hundred miles southwest of Iceland. The city, which took several decades to complete, was named Attilan, a name derived from Atlantis, the former pinnacle of civilization on Earth that had vanished beneath the sea about three millennia before. Attilan has been the sole center of the Inhuman population ever since.For millennia, the Inhumans dwelt in Attilan, isolated from contact with mainstream humanity except for an occasional encounter with a lost Greek or Viking sailing vessel. Finally, in the mid-Twentieth Century, with the advent of steamships and airplanes, the Inhumans began to fear discovery by the human race. When one of his subjects was captured by human beings, young king Black Bolt determined that the Inhumans must move their civilization to some place more secure. Employing anti-gravity generators, the Inhumans moved their entire city and its foundation in one piece. The new site of Attilan, a hidden valley in the Himalayan Mountain range in China, was excavated by the Eternals, another variant offshoot of humanity. The Himalayan site of Attilan became known as "the Great Refuge." The Himalayas did not prove to be remote enough to enable the Inhumans to retain their secrecy, however, and soon the Inhumans' existence became known to several of the governments of the outside world, although not to the general public. While in the Himalayas, all of Attilan's ancient architecture was accidentally destroyed by Black Bolt and the city has been extensively redesigned and rebuilt.Since Earth air is deadly to the Inhumans when Attilan was on Earth it had protective barriers. It had five separate defensive systems. A trillion-volt palisade, a progressive eco-filter to scrub the rancid air. And a dome of impenetrable negative space surrounding it all. Attilan was relocated once again, this time to escape the effects of Earthly pollution and disease. Attilan is currently located in the Blue Area of the Moon, nestled in the ruins of an ancient city built by the alien Kree whose technology gives the Blue Area its own artificially created atmosphere.Attilan defenses are very powerful. It has been able to travel outside of Earth in space without being damaged. It has also been able to take an attack of cannons and bombs. Th e shield would evaporate the bombs and just absorb the energy, making it stronger on every attack. There was a machine that Maximus built that would disrupt the shield and cause it to fall. With this and lightning the shield of Attilan would fall. Even though the shield is very strong it has been compromised by the Kree and the Skrulls.Outside of Attilan is a junkyard of Shi'ar technology that the Inhumans do not use. This space is used as a playground for curious Inhuman children. Underneath the city of Attilan lies the Alpha Primitives, and the technology that keeps Attilan working. This is a basement like structure full of machines that the Alpha Primitives call mother.After the Inhumans took over leadership of the Kree Empire, Attilan was moved to Hala, the capital of the empire. Once the Inhumans returned to earth they floated in space for a while until moving to off the coast of Manhattan.During the events of Infinity Thanos sends Corvus to Attilan with the demands of a tribute of Inhumans between the ages of sixteen to twenty two or else all Inhumans will be slaughtered. Black Bolt knows the true reasons for Thanos coming to Earth and orders Maximus to evacuate everyone off Attilan. Maximus then proceeds to arm the terrigen bomb. When Thanos arrives on Attilian and demands Black Bolt to tell him the location of his son. Black Bolt responds by unleashing a sonic scream which triggers the terrigen bomb to go off destroying the Attilan.FeaturesAttilan is far more technologically advanced than other cities of its era. The Inhumans have used their technology to relocate the city and the island upon which it is built to other locations, even taking it off of the planet itself.Other MediaVideo GamesAttilan appears as a base in the video-game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance when the heroes are saved from Doom by the Watcher. Marvel Cinematic UniverseAttilan is revealed to be the symbols Agent Coulson is sketching on the wall in season 2 of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the sketches when laid out three dimensionally turn out to be the architecture of the city. Coulson states that a force was drawing him to the city, but once he discovered what it was no longer feels the urge to go there.

NAWCWD volunteer supervises university mentors at high school lab
Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) teamed with California State University Channel Islands (CI) in Camarillo to bring the Great Inventors Program to Hueneme High School in Oxnard.
NAWCWD volunteer Kimberly Schrock supervised CI mentors at the high school laboratory to teach Mathematics, Engineering and Science Academy (MESA) students during an eight-week period ending May 2.
The students learned 3-D design and printing in a hands-on, project-oriented learning environment. The program was designed in fall 2013, and the pilot program was implemented at Hueneme High over the spring 2014 semester.
MESA students are sophomores who have completed basic programming course work.
CI's Great Inventors 3-D printing program was made available through a grant from Achieving a Cooperative College Education through Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Opportunities (ACCESO).
CI students developed two different projects for the MESA students: One group created a catapult, and the other experimented with an egg drop capsule.
Dr. Cindy Wyels, a mathematics faculty member who's currently CI's director of Project ACCESO, and Sandra Birmingham, STEM pipeline outreach coordinator, worked closely with Trish Gresham, NAWCWD's former education outreach coordinator, to bring the Great Inventors program to the school.
NAWCWD supports STEM activities throughout Kern and Ventura counties during the school year and actively recruits the talents of NAWCWD employees and Engineer and Scientist Development Program (ESDP) volunteers to spend time with youngsters to stimulate their interest in STEM careers.
"With the help of the NAWCWD engineers, our outreach programs have been incredibly successful and impactful on the students we serve," said Birmingham.
She had special praise for Schrock.
"Schrock played the crucial role of the STEM expert to mentor the CI volunteers, going over the daily goals for each group, ensuring that they are on-task and following the steps of the engineering design process and considering critical design questions," she said.
Schrock coordinated with Birmingham and CI mentors who are majoring in STEM fields.
"The first few meetings we had with CI in the fall covered the engineering design process," Schrock said. "We then worked with the students using a basic solid modeling program called "Cubify" in conjunction with their 3-D printer. The students started using "Scratch," a website that introduces users to basic coding concepts. There was a module about each of these elements. Then they completed a module on designing something.
"This is simply a framework," Schrock added. "The program design is what we worked on this semester."

Auditory Landmarks Enhance Circular Vection in Multimodal Virtual Reality
The means by which an individual distinguishes between (a) self-movement relative to a fixed external object and (b) a fixed sense of self relative to a moving object involves both sensory input and cognitive processes. The current study examines the cognitive influences of an auditory presentation on the illusion of motion. The illusion of self-motion was strongest when simulating multiple auditory objects of the type that are expected to be immobile: acoustic landmarks. The effect is strongest without visual cues, which can dominate if present. The addition of vibrotactile stimulation of the whole body was only selectively contributing to the experience of being in motion depending on the simulated auditory objects.

Ok, so, that's probably a false promise. But these are five beach bags that we really like for five different budgets and personal styles.
Tote Bags(Page 5)
Now that we've seen one example today of metallic gone egregiously wrong, I though it might be nice to give some props to a brand that has managed to get it oh so right – Lanvin.
I don't love all of the brand's handbags, but given an opportunity to see them in person, the quality of materials and attention to detail really shine.
I've been trying to figure out for some time now exactly what it is that makes me love Valentino bags oh so much, particularly since Shannon called me out on it last week. It's not like no other designer has ever done ribbon and flower motifs – that, in and of itself, is not what sets the brand apart.
Just the other day, Megs and I were having kind of an odd discussion. I don't know how we ultimately landed on the topic, but somehow, the subject of pig leather came about. We both figured that it existed, since the nickname of "pigskin" for old-fashioned footballs certainly came from their porcine origins (although they were made from a pig's bladder, not its skin, but that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish.) She and I spend exponentially more time than the average purse-lover studying the details of the world's finest handbags, and neither of us could ever remember coming across a bag made primarily of pigskin.
We all know how lovely the Bottega Veneta intrecciato woven bags are, but a lot of people feel like the brand's simple good looks don't fit their personal style. I can't blame anyone for wanting something more, and while Bottega has been doing a fine job of mixing up their aesthetic recently, I've got a woven alternative for people that like something a little funkier.
To quote the title of one of my all-time favorite episodes of Sex and the City, I love a charade. Well, a fashion charade, that is. It almost never fails to impress me when designers are able to take a material that has a certain set of expected characteristics and make it look like something completely different.
I'll be the first to admit that fashion bloggers are often working with a somewhat limited medium. The industry's recently increased presence on the internet, both in retail and editorial sectors, has given people like me a great deal of material to work with when writing criticism and making sartorial recommendations, but there's just nothing like the real thing.
I am in love. Valentino continues to make me a happy handbag fan. Yes, in the past, I've snubbed Valentino and thought that some bags were less than impressive. Today is not that kind of day. I am highly impressed with this Valentino Glam Tote.
If you love the Valentino aesthetic but can't justify shelling out two grand (or far more) for one of their plush, ladylike bags full of bows, ruffles and flowers, I may have a viable alternative for you.
The Villador Carpetto Bow Bag has a couple of Valentino's most obvious signatures – drool-worthy leather and an oversized bow placed proudly for all to see – without being a ripoff.

Need to know: CFA hazing 70 interview questionsMBA value for money
Who knew hashtags would attract the attention of policymakers?
Australia's Treasury has become so alert to the dangers of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn that it has launched a study into the role they could play in takeovers and other sensitive corporate transactions.
"With the rise of social and other new media, there are an increasing number of channels through which potentially price-sensitive information is disseminated," the Treasury said in a scoping paper published Friday.
Australian corporates have paid 1.7 billion Australian dollars (US$1.75 billion) — or 13% of a A$13 billion advertising spending pool — to global media players such as Google, Facebook and LinkedIn, according to Morgan Stanley.
"By 2020 we estimate global players will extract A$5.7 billion or 33% of a total A$16.7 billion ad spend pool," Sydney-based Morgan Stanley Andrew McLeod said in a note to clients, describing the structural shift as "global leakage".
Australia's more diversified version of Groupon, CatchOfTheDay is targeting more than three million Australian mothers by investing in online business Mumgo.com.au.
"With Mumgo we are bringing something new to the Australian retailing space with the only site of its kind that caters to the compete needs of mothers and their families," Gabby Leibovich, co-founder of the CatchOfTheDay Group, said in a statement.
The site will run branded shopping events which last up to three days and can save shoppers between 30% and 70% off recommended retail prices.
Believe it or not, Australia's largest and best-known companies like BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and the banks aren't the stocks most covered by equities analysts.
According to data from The Wall Street Journal, employment classifieds group SEEK wears that crown.
The stock — which has a market value of 2.3 billion Australian dollars (US$2.3 billion) is covered by 17 analysts, most of whom have either a Buy or a Hold rating.
Now isn't the best time for Seek to take online job site Zhaopin public, according to Morgan Stanley.
"Strategically, we are not convinced now would be the optimal time for an IPO of this asset, and selldown, as Zhaopin has just turned profitable and still has substantial expansion plans and structural growth ahead," analyst Andrew McLeod said in a note to clients.

Kate Beckinsale is afraid to have another child because her daughter Lily turned out so well, she is afraid she won't be so lucky again.
Kate Beckinsale feels lucky that her daughter isn't ''f***ed up''.
The 'Total Recall' actress has 13-year-old Lily with former partner Michael Sheen and although she would love a child with husband Len Wiseman, Kate worries other kids wouldn't deal so well with her complicated domestic situation.
She told the UK edition of Glamour magazine: ''I go back and forth on [the idea of more kids]. I feel very lucky in that we navigated a pretty bumpy situation and Lily's OK. So my resistance is along The Lines of 'Do I want to upset the apple cart?'
''Given that I feel we did get away with it, and she's not an incredibly f***ed-up kid, despite a lot of upheaval - London to LA, different schools, a stepdad, met several girlfriends of Michael's - part of me goes, 'Hmm, I don't know whether that would be more than my share of luck to make that work as well.' ''
However, the 38-year-old actress has admitted time is running out and she may soon not have a choice.
She said: ''At some point the decision will be made for me, when my ovaries dry up and die. We'll see. There's nothing that makes me go, 'And now I must have triplets'.''

x86-64 and 32bit Native games :(
Well, I have tried I think most all of the x86-64 distro's now and have been able to get 32bit binary commercial games installed on FC2 x86-64 only thus far.
The two games I have been able to install are Mohaa and uplink. They work fine without the nvidia drivers installed but run very slow.
I was happy that they did run and was excited to get the nvidia drivers installed. So, I promptly DL'ed and installed the 6111 drivers and all went well. I rebooted for good measure and then went to start up Mohaa but I recieved this error.
Click to read the error as it is big to post. Thought this would be easier.
I searched and double checked to make sure I had the proper deps and .so files where they should be and it seems I have everything I need. Unfortunately nothing seems to work properly. :/
I own most all of the commercial games available for linux and am still looking for ways to get them installed but even if I get them installed I am afraid I won't be able to play them unless I resolve this issue aswell.
Any help or thoughts are appreciated in resolving this issue.

Check the glx module loads ok - refer to your X log in /var/log/.

Re: x86-64 and 32bit Native games :(
Well, I have run glxinfo and it shows nvidia there and says yes to glx aswell. I can run glxgears just fine aswell with the driver installed. From that error though it looks like it's either the driver isn't loaded all the way properly or I am missing libs for the 32bit enviroment. I have been asking many questions about games over on #fedora irc and there fedora forums but no one responds or has any ideas.
I am a hardware enthusiast and gamer and own most all commercial linux games and the extra speed from x86-64 is nice but it is worthless without my games.
Without the nvidia drivers installed Uplink seems to use Mesa and it works ok but feels slow. I would like 3d accell if possible for these games if I can get it. Uplink and Mohaa are the only games I have gotten to install without issues but I have other comps I can just tar up the game dirs and transfer them that way to see if the games actually work or not but I don't think they will unless I get this driver issue sorted out for 3d acceleration.
Any other ideas for me? If you or anyone needs more info on my setup just ask specifically what you need and I can get it.
I would just like to add this aswell. My drivers seem to be loaded according to glxinfo and such but this kinda surprised me.
ldd uplink.bin
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libGL.so.1 => not found

/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x0074c000)
It's not seeing the libGL.so.1 file :/
Any ideas how to fix this would be appreciated. It seems to be the same for all my games that I have tested now.

Re: x86-64 and 32bit Native games :(
Do you have libGL.so at all? Search all of /usr for it. Should it not be on your system you will have to re-run the nvidia driver installer. If it is there you have to wonder why the system isn't picking it up. Be sure to have only nvidia glx libraries shown in glxinfo - the presence of any others, eg xorg or xfree, will cause problems.
I have mohaa going (albeit with the sound issue) with Gentoo. The binary is statically linked, so it doesn't depend on libraries directly anyway.
Seeing if 64-bit ut2k4 works would be a test too.

Re: x86-64 and 32bit Native games :(
well, doing a slocate libGL* turns up all my libGL.so files and such in /usr/lib64/
I assume the games are looking for it in the regular /usr/lib wich I have but no libGL files in there.
I tried making symlinks and actually copying the libGL.so files in there but still no go.
I would try the gentoo A64 route but I only have an ISDN 128k connection and if I mess something up it'll just take to long and try my patience to redo it. I mess up this install I just re-install it in 5min over my network.
BTW, I did run ldconfig to make sure the cahnges when I symlinked and copied the libGL files would take effect. It's just odd I think that the 2 games seem to work just fine but slow without the drivers installed and completely don't run with them installed.
I am thining of trying to copy over the 32bit drivers that are installed on my other machine into the /usr/lib and see if that has any effect. I'll keep pluggin at it see what I can come up with.
It'll take some time but I'll try to get a hold of the 64bit UT2k4 demo if it's available still.

Eckstein has already won two rings
These days, not so much. These days, if a player wants a shiny new Corvette -- and most players would consider a Chevrolet well beneath their station -- he can afford the $40K sticker price merely through judicious husbandry of his per diem for a few months. And those are the guys who are still establishing themselves as major-leaguers. David Eckstein? He earned $3.25 million this season with the Cardinals, plus another $300,000 or so for winning the World Series. That is, Eckstein could buy eight Corvettes with just the money he picked up this week.

2010 Sport, part-time 4wd only?
Hey all, quick question about the 4wd system in the 2010 Sport. I've read that the ST/SLT have a transfer case capable of only part-time 4wd, but the Laramie has both part and full-time 4wd. So does the Sport have the same tcase as the ST/SLT, or the Laramie? Tried a search on the forum, and a google search, but can't find anything specific to the Sport saying whether it can do full-time or not.
I don't know about 2010s, but my '09 Sport does not have the Auto setting on the xfer case.
My sport has 2hi awd 4hi and 4lo and it is a 2010, but its a Canadian Ram so im not sure if the US trucks get the same options that way. all the 2010's I have seen or been in have the awd option
The 2010 sport I test drove when looking at my 09 had the auto 4X4. It is the only thing I regret not getting in my truck. I miss it from my chevy.
Just checked the Dodge.ca website and it says Electronic Shift on Demand transfer case, but on the Dodge.com website the Sport has listed Electronic Shift on the Fly Part Time transfer case, while the Laramie says Electronic Shift on Demand.
Hard to find a concrete answer regarding this. When you say you regret not getting it on your Sport, is it an option? If so, what was the option called, exactly?
Sorry, I can't remember what the option was called.
I have a 2010 sport built in the US. My tc has 4w lock and 4w low
I have a 2010 SLT Sport we purchased a little over a week ago and it has 2X, 4X4 lock and 4X4 low. No full time Auto 4X4 and I miss it as the truck goes nowhere in 2X!

Hello everyone.
Here is a tonal drawing of a statue I completed about 2 weeks ago. Its dimensions are 42cm x 29.7cm (A3).
I had to scan it in two sections and piece it together, so please excuse the slight blurring running through the lower half of the drawing.
Also jpg compression never does any artwork justice.
I hope you all like it.

Nicely done. the only thing i think it's missing is not enough light areas. i think there should be a bit more lighter areas where the light hits. And finish off the base, it looks like it's not really finished. Realy nicely done though.
October 9th, 2003 #3
I'll fix the contrast on the jpg. I was only given 2hrs to draw the bust, so its really as finished as it will ever get. I wouldn't want to render from memory.

Jason Biggs is here to warn us all about being a douchebag on Twitter. When I say us, I mostly mean Jon Stewart's Daily Show replacement, Trevor Noah.
Shortly after getting the Daily Show gig, Noah received flack for his offensive tweets.
Almost bumped a Jewish kid crossing the road. He didn't look b4 crossing but I still would hav felt so bad in my german car!
— Trevor Noah (@Trevornoah) September 18, 2009
Stewart has defended his successor, but what does someone who's also received heat for controversial tweets think about the whole thing? "The idea of reducing one's views of the world to a couple of joke tweets is not great. It's very short-sided and ultimately, irresponsible," Biggs said on Big Morning Buzz Live today. The actor is rooting for Noah and says he "likes" that Stewart is in his corner. Watch the full interview above. »

This weekend, Hillary Clinton finally announced what we've been waiting for: that she will be running for president in the 2016 election. To celebrate, we've gathered some of the best Saturday Night Live sketches, featuring Amy Poehler and Kate McKinnon as the presidential hopeful herself. And these SNL moments are more like Hilarious Clinton (I'm sorry I did that; it's out of my system now).
"Citizens! You will elect me! I will be your leader!" should really be her campaign slogan.
Who could ever forget the coming together of our two greatest political minds! Well, one great political mind and one talking Bump-it.
She's a sore loser — don't disappoint her!
She even knows how to work the White House furnace already. That's experience you can trust.
Whatever happens, she's got a better job than governor of Alaska.
We finally have a visit from the Real Hil Shady herself! »

There may be some confusion about who Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds named as their daughter's godparents. This week it was reported that Blake gave James not one but three godmothers. The blond beauty, who has been married to Ryan since 2012, reportedly crowned her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costars Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrera, and Alexis Bledel as godmothers to her baby girl. Amber revealed the exciting news during an appearance on VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live on Tuesday. When asked by host Nick Lachey if the rumor was true, Amber replied, "Yes, that is a fact." But apparently, it's not. When asked about her daughter's godmothers in an interview with E! News, Blake said, "I never named them my godmothers. They're my dear friends. I would say my baby has a lot of fairy godmothers." Regardless of their official titles, all three costars have remained friends since meeting »

Check out the first exclusive clip from the MTV Movie Awards! Amy Schumer runs into Amber Rose and a bunch of other ladies on their way to see Fifty Shades of Grey and Magic Mike. Watch the Movie Awards this Sunday at 8/7C on MTV.

If you didn't sneak into Fifty Shades of Grey with an eggplant, shower head, or washing machine, and don't plan on doing so for Magic Mike Xxl, you're doing it wrong. Just ask Amber Rose and Amy Schumer, who have this stuff on lock.
The MTV Movie Awards promo above will bring on many LOLs and make all you ladies think: Heard that. When it comes to seeing these raunchy flicks, we've all been in Amber and Amy's situation. And if you haven't brought paraphernalia to one before, you know you've probably thought about it. »

On Big Morning Buzz Live, Jon Cryer told Nick Lachey he thought he was getting punk'd when Ashton Kutcher wanted to go halfsies on an expensive Malibu beach house with him. Here's one thing we want to know: As a roommate, would Cryer be bothered by the sexcapades we know Ashton and Mila are having?
Regardless, the situation seemed all too familiar for the Two and a Half Men star. "Dude, do you watch the show that we're on? Where we're living in a house together in Malibu?" he asked Kutcher. "It didn't even cross his mind that it would be exactly the show that we do every week." Maybe Ashton just likes to keep his friends close?
Cryer, whose memoir So That Happened is out this week, also opened up about his reconciliation with former Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen. Watch the interview below. »

Your girl crush on Amy Schumer continues. The MTV Movie Awards host says she's all about that bass (but who isn't?) and a certain "p-word."
"It's annoying for me because I have an ass and I feel like black guys were always on board, but now all of a sudden white guys are like, 'Maybe we like ass, too,'" she joked on Big Morning Buzz Live. "It's too late." She told Nick Lachey that "dick" was said "left and right" on her Comedy Central show Inside Amy Schumer but the female equivalent (the p-word) was bleeped out. Luckily, she argued to allow it on the show. "It was not much of a fight, you just had to ask twice."
Amy also addressed whether she was approached by Comedy Central to replace Jon Stewart as host of The Daily Show. A female late night host? If only. »

Shane West had what it takes to be a leading man in a Nicholas Sparks' film. (But not just any Sparks film, probably the most devastating one of them all, A Walk to Remember.) And the actor knows exactly why Sparks' work gets the best of every emotion you never knew you had.
"He's kind of batting a thousand," West told Nick Lachey on Big Morning Buzz Live Friday. "He's just very real with his stories, he comes from a real place. I think fans appreciate that." He also reminisced about working with Mandy Moore and being on his first major press tour, which hit up Trl, obviously. "My biggest memory is no memory. I was so scared and intimidated. There were so many people in your face, screaming, laughing, smiling. It was chaos."

Chrissy Teigen is not one to pull punches or hide the naked truth — and that includes her preferred attire (or lack thereof) for watching 98 Degrees videos in bed with her husband. Today on Big Morning Buzz Live, Teigen told Nick Lachey that a recent 98 Degrees-based Twitter lovefest was inspired by the time she and John Legend watched their videos in bed in the buff. "I will tell you right now, John and I were naked in bed watching your videos," she said. She'd been trying to convince Legend to perform a 98 Degrees song on Lip Sync Battle, which premieres tonight at 10/9 C, but couldn't narrow down a favorite because she's too big a fan.
She also addressed the waffle in the room, discussing her famous visit to Waffle House with Kimye and how they've inspired Kim and Kanye to enjoy the finer, fast foodier things in life. »

Before there were cradles and cartoons in Snooki's life, there was a whole lotta Gtl. The Jersey Shore star taught us how to properly create a hair poof, tan like a pro, and give negative shits if that's even possible. In honor of #Tbt, we're honoring the original (and our favorite) Jersey Shore "meatball."
Snooks is almost unrecognizable in these pics from 2009-2011, during the peak of her Shore days. Who would've thought just three years after the show ended she'd be married with two babies and make us feel really bad about our lack of gym habits? We watched her go from singing and dancing on bars to auditioning for Broadway on Big Morning Buzz Live, and have loved every minute of it.

We're not the only ones filled with love for Chrissy Teigen. From her mouth-watering Instagrams to late-night hangs with Kimye or the fact that she's married to a sexy Oscar winner, Teigen is simply the best. And Big Morning Buzz Live host Nick Lachey agrees — so much so that he couldn't help but sing about how great she is upon her arrival. Watch Nick's exclusive ode to Chrissy, complete with the Harlem Gospel Choir and Michelle Buteau on cowbell (because you can never have enough cowbell) and catch Chrissy's full appearance Thursday morning at 9/8 C. »

Twilight may have had girls screaming in droves, but Peter Facinelli thought no one would see it.
Facinelli, who stars in American Odyssey premiering Sunday at 10/9 C, joined Nick Lachey this morning on Big Morning Buzz Live and they talked about his most memorable roles to date. Twilight may be his biggest hit, but he never could have predicted it while soaking wet and miserable on the first day of filming. "It was raining and cold and everyone's makeup was just running and our hair was all matted wet," he said. "And I looked around and I was like, 'No one's gonna see this movie. This is just a disaster.'"
He also talked about his one-eyed "Popeye" time on the set of Can't Hardly Wait — his daughter scratched his cornea and they could only show half his face! "They're like koalas," Facinelli said of babies with their intense, »

Exposure is like crack to Kanye West, which is why he should have no problem adding an appearance on ABC's hit show black-ish to his schedule. And black-ish star and former Yeezy collaborator, Tracee Ellis Ross, is ready for his cameo.
On Big Morning Buzz Live, Ross told us about her history with West: she famously appeared in his "Touch the Sky" music video and used to be his neighbor. Believe it or not, she says Kanye has a great sense of humor. "He obviously does because he knows how to pick me!" she joked. When asked if Kanye would make a good guest star on black-ish, Ross did one better and thought up a character on the spot. "Maybe he's one of my patients. Or maybe he's one of the doctors at the hospital." And with that, the hashtag #KanyeDoctorOnBlackish was born.

The UBS Bloomberg CMCI index of 26 prices advanced 1.4 percent to 1,608.95.
Copper surged the most in two months after U.S. payrolls rose more than forecast and the jobless rate unexpectedly dropped to a three-year low, bolstering prospects for the economy and metal demand.
