Orthodox Jewish Newspaper Uses Actor Luis Guzman's Face For 'El Chapo' Article (Photo)
What's in a name? Sometimes, the difference can be one as a vast as that between an actor and the most notorious drug lord in the world.
As pointed out by Malei Rikud on Twitter, the Lakewood Shopper, an Orthodox Jewish newspaper from Lakewood, New Jersey, reported the capture of Mexican cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's capture.
Instead of using El Chapo's photo, however, the Shopper used the mug of Luis Guzman, everyone's favorite actor from the Lower East Side of New York City, known for his roles in "Carlito's Way" and "How To Make It In America."
The Lakewood Shopper uses actor @IAmLuisGuzman's pic instead of Druglord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman's. @BuzzFeedAndrew pic.twitter.com/DXRUv8VeBD
— Malei Rikud (@MaleiRikud) March 5, 2014
While Luis Guzman is a badass, he may not be on the level of El Chapo, who's allegedly responsible for the murder of thousands and the laundering of billions of dollars. Luis did respond to the photo, however.
@MaleiRikud watch your backs motha fuckas
— Luis Guzman (@IamLuisGuzman) March 5, 2014
On second thought, maybe we shouldn't mess with the actor.

Logitech T620 Touch Mouse first impressions
Windows 8 was made for touch, some might say, and the Logitech T620 is made for Windows 8. Today, we have a hands-on of the Bluetooth mouse for you, so read on.
At first glance, the T620 looks nothing like your regular PC mouse. There is no distinct buttons for left and right clicks, and the top looks like a glossy piece of marble with the Logitech branding. Below is the power toggle, the sensor and the home of the batteries.
Pop the battery door open, and you'll find that everything is powered by a pair of AA batteries, which the manufacturer claims would take a year and half before it needs replacement.The T620 can also run on a single battery, which may come in handy in dire situations.
There's also a tiny hole where you can put the USB dongle for safe keeping. It's situated at the right side of the battery compartment.
Putting it into practice, the peripheral feels quite like your average mouse, only thinner. Responsiveness is good as well, however first time users may struggle in the early going as accidental clicks with this mouse are inevitable. After some time though, and a bit of practice, we think that users should be able to adjust to the T620's quirks.
Being a Windows 8-optimized peripheral. Logitech
The touch mouse wouldn't be itself it didn't feature anything for Windows 8. By double tapping the surface of the mouse, you can gain access to the start screen and you can also scroll through webpages and the like through similar gestures you can do with your trackpad. It sounds good on paper, but then again, not really in practice because of the accidental clicking.
The Logitech T620 Touch Mouse has a great idea behind it. In fact, we would totally recommend it for Windows 8 devices, except for one small thing; accidental clicking happens very often. If it weren't for this small flaw, everything else would have gone well. It looks stylish, it feels ergonomic and it's quite functional with the gestures it can do. The Logitech T620 is priced at $70.

Norman Girardot, Professor of Comparative Religions: Re-creating the human community
Norman Girardot and Woofie
Ask Norman Girardot if today's students are as curious as previous generations, and the Distinguished University Professor of Comparative Religions is likely to launch into a lengthy treatise that neatly weaves together threads as seemingly disparate as print-bound literacy and the soul-crushing threat of globalism.
But in Girardot's unorthodox and brilliant mind, it all makes sense. Fortunately, it makes sense to his students as well, who seek the professor's appreciation of the sacred, the sublime, and the strange to open a portal into a world of creativity unbound.
Over the course of a colorful career at Lehigh, Girardot has introduced a series of what he calls "exceedingly strange, yet curiously refreshing" courses, exhibitions, and events that, among other peculiar manifestations, resulted in the levitation of the Rauch Business School, the creation of a controversial and well-publicized course and event devoted to the cult of Elvis, and the construction (with celebrated outsider artist Mr. Imagination) of Lehigh's Millennial Folk Arch and Outsider Art Park.
Most recently, Girardot co-created the all-university program ArtsLehigh, which links arts, learning, and life.
Now, he's finding that his passion for awakening the inner artist and spiritual soul of his students tidily dovetails with a 21st century resurgence in the appreciation of creativity in traditional education.
"There was a tendency throughout the 20th century to relegate the arts to the realm of entertainment and recreation," he says. "These are obviously important aspects of human life but, in higher education -- which was conceived in the rational and secularizing spirit of the enlightenment -- it wasn't seen as central or important to the 'serious' business of life."
Girardot feels it's increasingly incumbent on human beings to rediscover the blessed importance of curiosity and an educated imagination as the primary engine of human creativity.
"There must be, in other words, a new kind of liberal arts that puts an emphasis on, and creates an environment for, creativity in education," he says. "And one of the best ways to do this is to encourage the aesthetic or arts aspects of all that we do within our various academic disciplines. Most of all, we must stock young minds with the wild and infinite possibilities of creation, and then try those dreams out in the real world."
It is, at heart, the best way to confront and deal with the immense problems of a post-9/11 world, he says.
"We need a new liberal arts that fosters a kind of artistic entrepreneurship of the imagination," Girardot says. "We need a creativity that is dedicated to the common purpose of re-creating the human community."
Girardot's credentials as a serious scholar of Chinese religious tradition -- particularly Daoism -- as well as popular religious movements are confirmed by a lifetime of accomplishment, and the attendant international awards and accolades that honor it.
And he believes that his training as a scholar of comparative religions has forced him to keep his curiosity active and his imagination well-stocked with the strangeness of the human world.
"It's interesting," he says, "how everyone woke up to the power of religion in the wake of 9/11. We tended to trivialize it in the secular sphere, relegating it to little-read sections of the newspaper and such. Then, we all woke up and realized that perhaps, after all, economics isn't the most important thing in the world. And when you say that, what you're basically saying is that the most powerful tool in the world -- for good or evil -- really lies within your imagination. And this, this kind of applied romanticism is, of course, the source of all that is truly creative."
Recognizing the potential to harness that power and apply it to the most pressing issues of our time is "the most important thing we can do as educators," he says.
"We need to cultivate imagination and creativity for a common purpose," he says. "That's the way to touch the deepest aspect of human nature, what education should be, and what the 21st century demands."

Dorell Wright leaving Miami for Golden State
Jul 11, 2010, 12:32 PM EDT
Not everybody wants to play in Miami right now.
The Heat's Dorell Wright is very close to leaving South Beach and signing a new deal with Golden State, a three-year contract worth more than $10 million, according to Marc Stein of ESPN.
The Warriors are not going to match the offer the New Jersey Nets made to Anthony Morrow, according to the report. Which is crazy. Morrow has the potential to be a real impact player at the point in this league and the Warriors are letting the Nets have him for four years, $12 million. Yes, Steph Curry is the future point for the Warriors but you don't just let good talent leave cheaply. And you wonder why the team has struggled recently under this management.
They do get a solid wing player in Wright, who can shoot the three and attack the rim. He's athletic and a good fit at the three for Golden State. Good solid role player for a team, a guy that should pair well with Curry.
Miami doesn't really need Wright at the three with LeBron James and Mike Miller ahead of him. It's all for the best anyway. Maybe it was time for Wright to change scenery. Last season included a DUI for Wright and an embarrassing exposure on twitter for the swingman. A fresh start on the West Coast can help put that all in the past.
- D - Jul 11, 2010 at 2:14 PM
Before you criticize the Warriors and their handling of the Morrow situation, please at least take the time to know the facts:
1) The Warriors have not officially said they will not match Morrow's offer from the Nets. They are still weighing their options and will determine, later in the week, the best course of action for the team. This very website wrote about this mysterious person called "unnamed source", so you above any one should know to take whatever "unnamed source" says with a grain of salt.
2) Morrow is NOT a point guard and has never been a point guard. If you have ever watched him play a basketball game, you would definitely understand why I say this. His ball handling is atrocious and he is still a work in progress in terms of taking the ball off the dribble, shooting off the dribble, and passing off the dribble. Morrow is a Shooting Guard with the capability to play spot minutes at Small Forward.
- Shawn - Jul 11, 2010 at 2:22 PM
Did you really refer to Morrow as a point guard…uhh…embarressing. Wow I should apply for a sports journalist job, there is an obvious lack to talent and professionalism in the business. Morrow would be a center in Don Nelson's system before he would ever run the point. He's 6ft 5in and can't handle the ball to save his life. FYI, step your name up bud.
- Swopa - Jul 12, 2010 at 2:05 AM
Just to follow up on D's comment above… Morrow hasn't even signed the offer sheet yet! If the Warriors so much as hinted they were going to match a 3yr/$12M deal, that would tip off the billionaire who owns NJ to increase the offer.
Pretty hilarious, BTW, that Kurt Helin doesn't even know which position Morrow plays. Does NBC actually pay for such ignorance?

Smiles were finally back in style for Johnson County's football fans after Friday night's thrilling win over rival Hampton.
However, it took head coach Mike Atwood longer than most to enjoy things.
"Everybody up here said that was the best game they've seen," said Atwood, whose team ended a 17-game losing streak that started, ironically, against Hampton. "I told them I didn't like it until the last play."
Atwood's sigh of relief came in the form of a gang tackle as Hampton went for a 2-point conversion, trailing by one point in overtime.
"They tried an off-tackle play, and we stopped it for anything less than three yards for the first time all night," said Atwood. "We felt like that was what they would do, just run right behind the big old (Boo) Dugger boy. We put a bigger defensive end in, and we kind of got lucky and stopped it."
Johnson County trailed 21-7 at halftime but turned the momentum with a gadget play. Receiver Chase Kleine hit Ryan Mahala with a 72-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter.
Patrick South's 5-yard scoring run forced overtime. Johnson County added a third straight touchdown on Warren Kerley's 1-yard plunge.
That forced Atwood into a tough decision: kick or go for two.
"We decided to go for two, and then changed our minds," said Atwood. "We sent Mahala in to kick, and then I just about called timeout. But we trusted the kids, and they came through."
After Hampton scored, Johnson County's defensive stop was the type of play the Longhorns hadn't come up with in a long time.
"That was the biggest difference," said Atwood. "We made a big play when we needed it. We think this will help, just knowing how to win and how it feels to win. It's a big win for us. Hampton is a big rival."
South finished with 150 yards on 26 carries. Timmy Bellamy (11 tackles, interception) and Conner Icenour (9 tackles, 2 for loss) were the defensive standouts.
Area teams casting a peeking eye down the road to the playoffs couldn't have taken much comfort from Maryville's win over Alcoa on Sunday.
In a game televised by ESPN2 as part of its rivalry series, the Rebels came from behind to win 42-24.
For Class 6A teams like Science Hill and Dobyns-Bennett, it looks like the same old Maryville roadblock. Senior quarterback Nick Myers totaled 192 yards of offense and accounted for four touchdowns. He led his team to 21 unanswered points in the final eight minutes of the game.
And for Class 3A teams like Sullivan North and Elizabethton, who already face the potential of being in the same bracket with defending champion Christian Academy of Knoxville, the fact the Tornadoes were leading in the fourth quarter against the Rebels signals they are still a major state-title player.
Football games of the week: (Thursday) Happy Valley at Elizabethton, Dobyns-Bennett at Sullivan South; (Friday) Volunteer at Daniel Boone, Tennessee High at David Crockett, Johnson County at Unicoi County.
Warriors vs. Cyclones — Happy Valley has the edge in record, but Elizabethton has an advantage in strength of schedule to date.
Indians vs. Rebels — It has been a lopsided rivalry, but at least South will have two weeks of preparation time after an open date.
Falcons vs. Trailblazers — Both teams are off to surprisingly good starts, so Boone's favorite role isn't overwhelming.
Vikings vs. Pioneers — Speed and athleticism usually give Crockett too much of a headache to handle in this matchup.
Longhorns vs. Blue Devils — Unicoi County is looking for its first 3-0 start in 17 years while Johnson County is trying to ride the emotional momentum from Friday.
Pick of the Week — Elizabethton 28, Happy Valley 15
The Cyclones don't like that "winless" tag in front of their name, and beating a close rival would ease the sting quickly.
Picks record: 2-0.
Player of the week — Hunter Abbott of Unicoi County.
A little of this and a little of that added up to a lot for the senior running back in his team's 34-20 win over Chuckey-Doak.
Abbott, a 5-10, 210-pounder, had two scoring plays of 80 yards or more and finished with 286 all-purpose yards. He rushed for 112 yards, caught three passes for 89, and added an 85-yard kickoff return, which went for a touchdown. Also, Abbott had an 80-yard touchdown run.
The Hogs Award — Volunteer Falcons.
In a 35-0 hammer-down win over Sullivan East, the Falcon Hogs were all over Patriots' defenders. They paved the way for 311 yards rushing on 37 carries, an average of 8.4 yards per attempt.
Defensive unit of the week — Happy Valley Warriors.
Not allowing a single point while it was on the field, the Warriors' defense made life miserable for Unaka in a 27-4 decision.
Happy Valley held the Rangers to 104 yards of total offense, with a chunk of that coming late in the game. The Warriors' offense actually surrendered the only points, coming on a pair of safeties.
Prep spotlight: For the 2012-13 edition of Prep Notes, an extra item is planned. Coaches can submit standout performances for girls soccer, volleyball, cross country and golf.
Submissions should be made on the weekend with a deadline of midnight each Sunday.

This Week in Prep History — Aug. 18, 2000.
Happy Valley rolled to a 26-0 first-quarter lead and eventually worked its way to a 34-21 victory over Elizabethton. Quarterback Mark White carried 32 times for 188 yards and scored two touchdowns.
Daniel Boone powers up a spot to No. 5, and Johnson County's upset of Hampton allows the Longhorns to enter this week's Prep Top 10.

How right you are! And I knew that, but somehow lost sight of the correct day/date as I wandered through my own dreamland (apparently).
Thanks for the save!!
Dear edgarant,
I'd love to know what in my review of "Radio Golf" struck you as snarky. I'm certainly not above resorting to that sort of tone, but I can't for the life of me see it in that particular piece, in which I intended to be entirely affirmative and feel that I was. I agree that the play was splendid, so if I somehow failed to convey that, please help me spot ways to improve the clarity of my writing.
Howdy folks.
I'm a little dismayed by the tone of this discussion in a few respects, and I feel a few points need clarifying.
For one thing, Tere Mathern is not a complaining about her situation and I don't believe there's anything in that article that suggests as much. She did not contact The Oregonian about her health care costs, rather, we contacted her as someone we felt might be representative of circumstances that would be familiar to various people in the diverse economy of this area. She spoke matter-of-factly about what she could afford, but never said a thing about being owed a hand-out of any kind.
Another matter is the depiction of Mathern's dance career as a hobby. You can argue all you want about the relative value of the arts in a commercial society, but to dismiss all working artists as contributors to society and/or as serious-minded and productive people (which is my reading of some of these comments) strikes me as narrow-minded and short-sighted. Mathern is an accomplished artist and deserving of respect, not unfounded ridicule.
I'm very pleased to learn that "RW" found pleasure and illumination in Elijah Alexander's performance where I did not. And I'll agree that my powers of discernment will always be in need of improvement.
What does strike me as misguided about the previous comment is the suggestion that my rather mild dismissal of Mr. Alexander's performances is "slander" and "libelous." It is nothing of the sort, and any "seasoned theater critic" who reflects for a half-second on the law or practice of journalism -- of criticism, especially -- ought to recognize as much.
As for Mr. Rauch, I've quite enough respect for his artistic skill, integrity and intelligence to doubt that he'd deny work to any actor on the basis of my opinion rather than his own.
FYI, in case there's something wrong with this story, it actually was written by Marty Hughley, not by Doug Perry.
Ah! I'd always wondered who the Elizabethan's welcoming committee is. Apparently, it's JoeQ!

Shonda Rhimes Gossip

Peter Krause in Shondaland
EW announced yesterday that Peter Krause has signed onto The Catch, which is the newest drama from Shondaland in which a professional player proceeds to get played. The player is Mireille Enos so everyone else likes to say 'oh, from The Killing' but to me she will always be from Big Love which, if you haven't seen it, is the original binge-able show. Full Story
Shonda Rhimes Says Yes
Lainey once called me contrary. This idea is preposterous, as I am not contrary. (Lainey: you are.) But I will admit that I don't like to be predictable. If it's too obvious that I'm going to go a certain way, I like to check myself. So in this situation, knowing as we do that I'm a pretty avowed Shonda Rhimes stan, I wanted to step back before I was excited. Full Story

Shonda says "Normal is not innovative"
As you know, we have a lot of love for Shonda Rhimes here. Normally it's Duana who gets to hog on loving Shonda. But she's busy today. So I'm stealing this one from her and it's big. Last night Shonda was named to the National Association of Broadcasting Hall Of Fame. And it's not like I have to explain why but I will anyway: what would ABC be with Shondaland? There would be no TGIT. Full Story
"What if there's TOO MUCH Diversity?"
Duana's (snarky screenwriter) take Oh NO, you guys, terrible news! It seems that Hollywood has gotten a clue, based on how Shondaland kills everything in its path on Thursday nights, how well Jane The Virgin has done, and how Empire has JUGGERNAUTED its way through season one. Hollywood has decided that this pilot season, they should be looking for diversity. Full Story
Ellen Pompeo's Not An Angry Black Woman
AKM-GSI / Splash News
Sorry, I know in the age of social media and the 24-hour news cycle, I'm supposed to be over the Shonda Rhimes/NYT article. But I feel like the paper and the writer got off way too easy. One of Shonda's more rant-y characters (by her own estimation) is Meredith Grey aka Ellen Pompeo, who just announced on Twitter that she's welcomed a second child. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
The New York Times is trying to apologise about that Shonda Rhimes article. Click here for more information about how they're explaining themselves. They claim it was never their intention to offend. But is that enough? Can ignorance be excused by the absence of intent?
And, furthermore, there's been no clarification about how poorly researched Alessandra Stanley's piece was to begin with. Shonda Rhimes is a producer on How To Get Away With Murder but she didn't create it. But if we're talking about what she does or doesn't create, in her own likeness, how reductive is it to posit that she's "reclaimed" the "Angry Black Woman" by giving her a voice? Stanley's misguided praise of Rhimes presupposes that she only writes for people of her own culture – at the expense of the other wonderful characters she's created that don't actually meet Stanley's argument. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
Shonda Rhimes is underrated. People fall on their knees for the Matt Weiners and the Vince Gilligans but Shonda Rhimes? Duana posted about Shonda not too long ago in a piece called How To Get Away With An Empire – click here for a refresher. I posted about her amazing Dartmouth commencement speech in the summer – click here for a refresher.
But for all This Woman has done, she still doesn't get the kind of love reserved for the heavy hitters, the men behind shows like Mad Men and Breaking Bad. So the New York Times tried to give her some. Read Full Intro
Shonda Rhimes and the Question
Charley Gallay/ Getty
Lord knows I am usually long-winded. But I am so anxious to have you read the article I just read that brevity is essential. On Friday morning, the NYT article about Shonda Rhimes was published. There was immediate outcry and, most tellingly, there were three or four tweets from Rhimes herself which maybe indicated that this was not the way she had anticipated spending her Friday morning.

I wrote about Shonda earlier this week. About her wonderful commencement speech at Dartmouth. About her approach to the Work and her attitude about the Dream. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
I love Emma Thompson. But Emma Thompson made some comments a few weeks ago about motherhood that many people reacted strongly to. Click here if you missed it.
"You can't be a great mum and keep working all the time."
No, I'm not a mother but I didn't find her remarks particularly inspiring.
Shonda Rhimes on the other hand…
Duana sent this to me yesterday and the title of her email was This WOMAN. It's Rhimes's commencement speech at Dartmouth. I recommend you read the transcript and then watch the video. It's amazing. It's F-CKING amazing. Read Full Intro
How To Get Away With An Empire
The other night around my dinner table, a bunch of 30-somethings all confessed that they were thinking or had thought about going to law school. At least three were still debating it by the time dinner was finished. It seems like a pretty attractive career, right? Get in there and fight for stuff and have meetings with people in important coats until you get what you want – what you need. Full Story
Showrunner Styles
I still like Shonda Rhimes. I know that's an unpopular thing to say these days, but I do. I think she's hit on a formula that works, she's made a lot of people really happy with what she does, and even though I don't watch Grey's Anatomy any more – that played its course for me – I hear it's still pushing boundaries in its eighth season and that Private Practice does the same.

Voice Productions and Disorders - Where Science Meets Art
RECENT ADDITIONS! One-day workshop and Choral Workshop
Our professional development program, consisting of one-day Workshops, choral fitness workshops, and the Summer Seminars, is based on the work of David Blair McClosky. In collaboration with otolaryngologists at Syracuse University and the Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary in Boston, Mr. McClosky developed techniques to resolve vocal problems without surgery. The techniques he pioneered in the 1950's are now used worldwide by performing musicians, speakers, and teachers to maintain healthy, resilient voices even under demanding conditions.
The McClosky Institute of Voice, founded in 1981, is a non-profit organization dedicated to the maintenance and enhancement of the healthy voice, as well as care and help for the troubled voice. Certified McClosky Voice Technicians (CMVT) are voice teachers, professional singers and speakers, music educators, choral conductors and speech and language pathologists. They are experienced in helping other professional voice users to modify their vocal habits to rebuild and enhance healthy, robust and lasting speaking and singing voices.
Detailed information on our workshops and seminars, including costs and scheduling information is available by clicking on our Summer Seminars, Choral Fitness Workshops or CMVT Course links.

Rule to stand at Vinery New York for $6,500
Millionaire and multiple graded stakes winner Rule has been retired from racing and will stand the 2013 season at Vinery New York in Poughquag.
The 5-year-old Roman Ruler horse and WinStar Farm homebred will join productive young sire Bluegrass Cat as a Vinery/WinStar venture standing in New York. His introductory fee will be $6,500 when the foal stands and nurses and he will also participate in the "Dream Big" breeders' program.
Out of the Personal Flag mare Rockcide, a half-sister to champion and dual classic winner Funny Cide, Rule posted a career record of six wins, two seconds, and six thirds from 20 starts over four seasons of racing, earning $1,162,350. He won the Grade 3 Delta Jackpot Stakes as a juvenile, the Grade 3 Sam F. Davis Stakes as a 3-year-old, and the Monmouth Cup Stakes earlier this year. Rule also placed in three Grade 1 stakes.
"Rule is a natural for New York, and his pedigree should be a familiar one to local breeders," said WinStar president and CEO Elliott Walden. "Obviously, his dam is the sister of perhaps New York's greatest racehorse ever in Funny Cide, who was the first Kentucky Derby winner we bred, and the horse that really put WinStar on the map. Rule is an awesome-looking individual and a precocious, high-quality racehorse in his own right."
The "Dream Big" program requires breeders to breed mares to Rule on a regular stands and nurses basis for the first two years, and then breed to the stallion in years three and four at no charge. After year four, the breeder will receive a lifetime breeding right to Rule in exchange for the early support.
Rule will be available for inspection at Vinery New York beginning next week.

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced that his office has obtained a judgment against Rakhra Wisconsin EZ Go Stations Three, Inc. (Rakhra), requiring it to pay $48,451 in forfeitures, court costs, and surcharges for violations of state environmental laws that regulate the maintenance of underground storage tanks, handling or use of flammable or combustible liquids, and proper abandonment of unused tanks. The laws are designed to protect the waters of the state from harm due to contamination from such liquids. The two tanks at issue in the case are located at 3705 52nd Street in Kenosha.
According to the Complaint, Rakhra has not had a valid operation permit for either of the tanks located at the site since February 18, 2009. Furthermore, the tanks have been out-of-service since 2004. Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) issued State Orders to Rakhra on April 2, 2009, and May 11, 2009, requiring it either to obtain an operation permit for each tank or permanently close each tank at the site, which requires removing the tank from the ground and testing for soil contamination.
According to DSPS, it is important that each underground storage tank be in compliance with the State's laws because soil contaminated with petroleum products can contaminate groundwater flowing through the ground and emit petroleum vapors that seep into nearby basements.
In addition to the monetary judgment, Rakhra is required either to obtain an operation permit for each tank or permanently close each tank at the site. If Rakhra fails to comply with that requirement, then DSPS or the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is authorized to enter the site, contract to remove any tank not in compliance, and place a lien on the property for the cost of permanently closing the tank.
Assistant Attorney General Bradley J. Motl represented the State. The Judgment was signed by Kenosha County Circuit Court Judge Bruce E. Schroeder.

This story continues to be updated here.
A toddler appears to have been thrown off a walkway connecting a parking garage to Tysons Corner Center, sources tell ABC 7 News. The 2-year-old girl sustained life-threatening injuries, police say.
It happened around 7:15 p.m. at Garage E near the intersection of Fashion Boulevard and Ring Road. The garage is located between a Coastal Flats restaurant and Lord & Taylor. The walkway is about four stories off the ground.
The child was in the custody of a "caretaker" at the time, police sources tell ABC 7. Sources say an adult female family member has been taken into custody.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Star Wars come on! Great DVD features.
Okay this is old now I know, but re-watched it the second time.
Overall - better then I remembered and worse all at once, the DVD had some awesome special features though.
Summary: that start of the Star Wars series. Don't think I need to sumarize this one. See Anikin Skywalker as a kid, see young Obi-Wan, see Jar-Jar and a pod race.

1.0 out of 5 stars What Kind of a Father Would I Be if I said its junk?
I think people have to take stock of the obvious: that this movie is a real blast and unending fun... if you're ten years old or less. I was ten years old when Star Wars came out. I loved it. I was obsessed with it, as was every other male kid in my class. We spent all our time drawing tie fighters and x wings. We couldn't get enough of it. Now, Episode One is out...

This review is from: Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace (Widescreen Edition) (DVD)
Okay this is old now I know, but re-watched it the second time.
Overall - better then I remembered and worse all at once, the DVD had some awesome special features though.
Summary: that start of the Star Wars series. Don't think I need to sumarize this one. See Anikin Skywalker as a kid, see young Obi-Wan, see Jar-Jar and a pod race.
The good: the effects are awesome. It's Star Wars, sure it's not the best Star Wars but it's still better then 90% of the movies that come out. Darth Maul rocks. Young Obi-Wan is awesome. The pod race is pretty cool. Seeing Corusant for the first time was sweet. The battles are great.
The bad: Darth Maul dies too easily (now not as easy as Dukoo or General Grevious). The pod race is cool but long. Kids can't act and Anakin is no exception. The budding love between Amidala and Anakin is creepy. Jar-Jar annoyed me. I much prefered 3P0 for comedic releif. He wouldn't have been that bad if they didn't have to slip him into every scene.
The ugly: Midicloriens and the virgin birth of Darth Vader. WTF?!? I can overlook Jar-Jar, but not the scientific explanation for The Force. Why not leave it mystical like it was. Why not leave every viewer with that faint hope that The Force does exist and if they just try enough they can use it. Why rationalize it. Argh I hated that, and still do and always will.
Overall: worth seeing if you are a Star Wars fan. There was no way in hell no matter how good it could have been that it would live up to the original series. Some people will love it, some will hate it, but its still Star Wars and it's still a good time.

mark twain "25354" (Monrovia, Liberia) - See all my reviews
I think people have to take stock of the obvious: that this movie is a real blast and unending fun... if you're ten years old or less. I was ten years old when Star Wars came out. I loved it. I was obsessed with it, as was every other male kid in my class. We spent all our time drawing tie fighters and x wings. We couldn't get enough of it. Now, Episode One is out and my two older children love it. They are four and two. I must admit that there is a certain nostalgic, time-warp savor in seeing my four year old son walking around in a Star Wars T shirt. And for him and his two year old brother, Episode One is fantastic. So for me to say that the movie is terrible and the characters are wooden and the accents are arbitrary and fly-by-night, that Liam Neeson should be publicly horse whipped just for being Liam Neeson, that whoever heard of a 6 year old kid making intricate carvings, much less flying a space buggy... all this is not to the point. It would be like trying to inhabit a doll house and complaining that the cups and saucers are so frigging small.

1.0 out of 5 stars Time To Put This Cash Cow Out To Pasture,
Joseph Kimsey "Fareastnibelung" (Pac NW) - See all my reviews
The Phantom Menace is indeed a cinematic achievement. What other movie can you think of that can make accomplished actors like Liam Neeson, Ewan MacGregor, Natalie Portman, and Samuel L. Jackson appear to be abysmal? What other film (or trilogy) can you name that borrows so heavily from other sources (2001, Star Trek, Tolkien, Wagner, Kurosawa, Ben Hur) and has its creator still brazenly defending its originality? What other picture has been so overly hyped for its supposedly staggering special effects and yet those same effects are cartoonish and blatantly unrealistic?
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the previous 3 movies (as a child). And, for all of its delusions of grandeur, Phantom does work very well as a children's movie. The characters are amazingly two-dimensional, and the one seemingly ambiguous character is obviously the evil emperor of the previous movies. There's a Satan/Frankenstein hybrid named Darth something-or-other who tries to fill the Vader void, but hopelessly fails. Maybe he needed to have that Nazi helmet thing going..
The Thing-Fish character, Jar-Jar Binks is (as everyone knows) so annoying that I'm not going to waste my time or yours by going into it. The young man who played Anakin really needed some instruction. Considering that there were so many capable adults involved with this thing that were awful, it's silly and needlessly cruel to criticize Jake Lloyd's callow performance. Hell, Haley Joel Osment would have stalled with such poor direction.
I recently rented this leviathan the other night, just to see if it really is as bad as I remember it. Indeed, it's worse. Even John Williams' score lacks the Wagnerian passion of the previous movies. Personally, I don't believe the original Star Wars movies are THAT good (Empire is by far the best of the 3), but at least they're good fun. 2001 is, for me, immaculate science fiction. As remarked upon by many people, Phantom is truly a movie for children. I'm prepared for the zillion "not-helpful" votes that will rake against me, but many of the hard-core fans of these movies display a very childish devotion to this cinematic franchise. Whereas once children strove to emulate adults, these puerile people are adults who desire to be children.
However, judging the Phantom Menace by these standards isn't entirely fair. By far the most important legacy of these Star Wars movies is the marketing ploys and techniques that has made the SW movies the biggest things since sliced bread. With the Obi-Wan bathrobes, Darth Vader toy lightsabers, Wookie spaying kit, Luke undergarments, Jar-Jar Binks greatest reggae hits CDs, Han Solo's 12-Step Book on Isolation Therapy, Slave Leia pinups, etc etc, as well as around 2 thousand different versions of these films on video, the Star Wars creator's true talent is for milking the drone-like adherents of his intergalactic Empire. I feel like throwing my battered old Star Wars VHS tapes into the nearest Yoda trash can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,
GregC (Hamilton, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This was a nice way to begin the Star Wars Saga. Immediatly, we are introduced to Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn and of course our main hero, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The film takes off from the Federation Control ship to the awesome Pod Race and then on to the final battle on the planet Naboo. This film is action packed and worthy of being called a Star Wars movie. The characters are well set up for Attack of the Clones and gives us a whole new look on Star Wars. Best Scene: The Three Way duel between Darth Maul, Jinn, and Kenobi is a Star Wars fans dream!

2.0 out of 5 stars To Lucas: Eye of the Tiger, Man!!,
M. Villalobos "villageofwolves" (Lodi, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
To quote the famous lines by Apollo Creed from Rocky III, "You lost for all the wrong reasons, you lost your edge. Eye of the tiger, man!"
A good analogy when you think of it...
When Lucas made the first trilogy he was a relativly unknown up-and-comming writer/director full of desire and well, "hunger" to make his mark. That drive lead to the masterpieces of pop culture we know as ANH and ESB. By ROTJ his edge was already waning but thankfully it was the last one... or so we thought.
By the time TPM came out he lost it completely and produced a quite mediocre if at best ordinary film. Living like a king for the past 20+ years made him not "hungry and full of desire" but fat and content. He lost his edge.
Peter Jackson's LOTR Trilogy is so much better than Lucas' last 2 efforts for this same reason. Jackson has the "eye of the tiger"!
Lucas HAS to get his edge back. Most agree AOTC is better than TPM but not by much. Will episode 3 prove that Lucas got it back??
If only reality played out like the fantasy of Rocky III and Lucas brings home a REAL winner....
3.0 out of 5 stars Just an entertaining movie, no more,
T. Tiraterra "Fluffy" (Davis, CA) - See all my reviews
I was one of the only people in the world who did not see "The Phantom Menace" in theaters, and instead waited until it came out on video and all the hype had died down. Perhaps this was why I did not see it as a monumental disappointment, since I didn't watch it believing it was going to be the best movie of the year. This is one of the most bashed films of modern times, and I don't think it deserves all of its negative publicity. Ironically, for how bad everyone says it is, Lucas still got what he wanted out of the movie- it's still the highest grossing post-"Titanic" film (though "Shrek 2" is closing fast, and "Spider-Man 2" may reach it also), and was the third-highest grossing film of the 1990's when adjusted for inflation.
I see "The Phantom Menace" as simply an entertaining adventure. It has a criminally slow first half, but some of the scenes in its second half are truly spectacular, such as the pod race and the Darth Maul fight. Everyone says how bad the acting is, but I found most of the actors passable- only Jake Lloyd as Anakin Skywalker irritated me. The special effects are incredible for the most part, and the final space battle leaves you breathless.
Of course, "The Phantom Menace" is not a great movie by any means. Darth Maul was criminally underdeveloped, and the Trade Federation bad guys were dull and lifeless. Whenever Jake Lloyd appeared on the screen, I wondered if I was watching a dumb kids movie. Overall, "The Phantom Menace" simply cannot compare with "The Empire Strikes Back". Then, of course, there's the immortal Jar Jar Binks. If Episode III has a chance of being as successful as the original "Star Wars" films, it will feature Jar Jar's slow and painful death, perhaps replayed over and over again in a flashback.
In the end, "The Phantom Menace" is just a couple hours of good entertainment, neither as bad nor as good as many claim it is. I actually slightly prefer "The Phantom Menace" to "Attack of the Clones", which was boring and too serious for its own good. However, there may be some nostalglia factor there- I miss the days of 1999, when everything was going great and the world had nothing better to do than freak out over the new "Star Wars" movie.
3.0 out of 5 stars A Worthy Introduction to the Star Wars saga,
By A Customer
This movie gets a lot of criticism and I understand why: Childish humor, the annoying Jar Jar Binks, and the prevalence of dull dialoque among some not so great actors (e.g., Nathalie Portman (even though she's not bad to look at!), Captain Panaka (why did Lucas even consider him! etc) and even some good actors (Liam Neeson & Ewan McGregor). Despite all that, I think the movie is a fun, fast-paced film that introduces a lot of the aspects that will occur in the sequels. The special effects are notable, but are overwhelming at times. I like the new advancements, but not to the point where the film cannot mesh with the original trilogy. Contrary to many, I think the pod race would have been better if it were shorter. The film definately excels more in the FX department than in the substance department, but really that's what the sequels are for....This film serves to grab your attention and introduce you to the Star Wars universe. Many criticize the plot, but I found the plot no less developed than other SW films. Aside from some of the criticisms, I really appreciate the new different look to the film with more colors, grandiose vistas and flowing designs, and really find the subtle references to future films really thoughtful. Although the film is not as good as the originals (which part of me would rather that it not be as good), the movie is entertaining, fun to watch and definately worthy of the Star Wars title......
3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, but a letdown,
David Bonesteel (Fresno, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Jedi master Qui-Gonn Jinn (Liam Neeson) and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), encounter young Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd) while aiding Queen Amidala's (Nathalie Portman) attempt to break a crippling trade blockade on her planet. They take the future Darth Vader under their wing, setting the stage for future tragedy. Clearly, the universe is about to be plunged into war.
The state-of-the-art special effects provide plenty to look at, but otherwise there is little to recommend this film. The roles are underdeveloped with the result that the cast, which is packed with fine actors, come across as dull because they have nothing to do. I realize that this film is not primarily about characterization, but just think back to the main characters of the original trilogy--Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia--and how much fun it was to watch them interact. Was that because Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher are better actors than anyone in "Phantom Menace?" No, it's because those characters had some fire in them. The characters in this movie just seem to be rushing from scene to scene.
When you've got the resources that writer-director George Lucas has to produce a bang-up action flick, you can pretty much guarantee a certain level of satisfaction if you just let the story build its momentum and stay out of its way. A film with great special effects that just allows itself to be spectacular without derailing itself can pretty much count on getting at least 4 stars from me. However, just as he did with the Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi," Lucas has introduced a character and a race so annoying that I groaned inwardly every time they appeared on screen. I haven't seen "Attack of the Clones" yet, but the prospect of having Jar Jar Binks and the Gunguns inflicted on me again doesn't make me feel any sense of urgency to do so.
2.0 out of 5 stars needs a han solo type to make it fun,
after seeing the first two star war movies i was naturally excited when return of the jedi was released. it was a dissapointment.
the ewok thing reeked of the next merchandising line, the actors were visually tired of making the movies and it showed in their performances, lucas and team both copped out and extended the soap opera quality by revealing lea to be lukes sister (you cant let one of the heroes go away without the girl, so we'll make the girl luke's long lost sister) and the whole conversion of vader seemed phony.
star wars and the even better empire were great fun, but return seemed to show the idea had been played out.
i was one of the few who was not excited when it was announced that a prequal trilogy was coming.
this film proved my misgivings were correct.
what makes the first 2 star wars movies nicely balanced is the presence of han solo. luke is a bit too sullen, too religious, too serious. the fun errol flynn like han solo balances this out.
but the prequals are star wars without a han type at all. its all luke; religiousley serious and a bit bland.
that said the movie does have a few decent moments, most notably the ben hur like race and the wwf type (and way too brief)darth maul.
in retrospect i recall pauline kael's review of star wars and she warned that this was a bad new trend in hollywood.
she lamented the slickness, the empty headed, overblown fx.
in many ways i agree with her. but, i also know that the first two movies, like his american grafitti, were indeed fun.
perhaps lucas had kael in mind when he made this but if he did, he certainly approached it from the least interesting angle that was in the first.
this movie is as pressed and clean as lukes white coat, it needs the dirt and roughness of han's vest
or, perhaps its just been too long since he actually directed a movie, but regardless, i havent seen the second prequal and wont bother to.
i'll cherish the memory of star wars and empire strikes back
5.0 out of 5 stars QUIT YOUR WHINING AND WATCH THE MOVIE!,
K. Jump (Corbin, KY United States) - See all my reviews
The most eagerly-awaited prequel in movie history, "Episode I: The Phantom Menace" carried so many false hopes into theatres many were bound to be disappointed. But the problem isn't with the movie itself, which is first-rate. There were just too many people who had their own ideas of what the first new Star Wars film in nearly a generation should be like for creator George Lucas to possibly satisfy. Sadly, those persons' negative reviews have somewhat marred an otherwise phenomenal blockbuster, which by any well-reasoned definition is a highly worthy extension of the beloved Star Wars mythos.
Even the film's critics agree that this movie looks spectacular. Lucas spared no expense in the set design and special effects, and the result is simply magical. From the iconic architecture of the planet Naboo to the wastes of Tatooine and the cold reaches of space, everything shimmers with life and you almost feel like you could walk right into the story yourself. Beyond that, the story itself is excellent and in line with the familiar Star Wars formula of good vs. evil on an interplanetary scale. Likewise, the cast is terrific and does a tremendous job. Liam Neeson is an commanding Qui-Gon Jinn who dominates every scene he is in, and Ewan McGregor is also excellent as the young Obi-Wan Kenobi just growing into his full power but clearly destined to be one of the greatest Jedi of all. Natalie Portman's Padme is appealing and believable, and Jake Lloyd is surprisingly effective as the ill-fated Anakin Skywalker. Ian McDiarmid lends a sinister air as the shadowy Senator Palpatine, whose suave elegance barely conceals his true dark nature.
Yes, there is Jar Jar Binks, and while Jar Jar does occasionally strike a funny note he is more often annoying. And young Mr. Lloyd does have to utter some rather painful lines from time to time. But these minor flaws hardly hinder the overall drama, which is quite strong. Particularly moving is Anakin's final dialogue with his mother, when he stands at the crossroads of his destiny and realizes that once he chooses which path to take, he can never look back. Of course there is also the famous pod race, a deadly race against fate that shoots across the Tatooine desert like lightning. The masterful extended climax (divided amongst no less than four different battles)is incredibly exciting. Here young Anakin foreshadows Luke Skywalker's later Death Star heroics, and Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan face the diabolical Darth Maul in an incredible display of lightsaber wizardry.
No review of this film would be complete without mention of John Williams's usual fantastic score. The soundtrack is magnificent, one of the most thrilling any movie has ever had, and it should've been used a bit more liberally in "Attack of the Clones."
Not only is the movie great, but the DVD is something special too. There are tons of special features that are sure to enhance what should be an already awesome viewing experience.
Overall, most of the negative press this movie got was undeserved. The characters are strong, the action unceasing, and the final product is nothing less than sensational. If it's not quite as good as the original Star Wars films, "The Phantom Menace" nonetheless recaptures the spirit of those immortal movies and opens a brand new door to wonder and fantasy. Don't be afraid...come on in!

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Jason A. Smith
A McDonough man was being held without bond in the Henry County Jail Thursday, for allegedly breaking into a local furniture store.
Rodriques Deantae Blanton, 32, is charged with burglary, possession of tools for the commission of a crime, possession of less than an ounce of marijuana and for being an in-state fugitive.
The suspect appeared in Henry County Magistrate Court Wednesday, represented by the Public Defender's Office. Blanton waived his right to a preliminary hearing on the charges against him, and Judge Robert Godwin bound his charges over to Superior Court, where the suspect's bond will be set.
The incident, which led to Blanton's arrest, occurred Tuesday shortly after 8 p.m., at Ashley Furniture, store located at 1891 Jonesboro Road in McDonough, according to Henry County Police Capt. Jason Bolton. He said officers were dispatched to the store, in reference to a burglary-in-progress.
"A witness had observed a dark-colored Lincoln Towncar, with an open sun roof, turn its headlights off and back up to the side of the business near the door," Bolton said. "A suspect then exited the vehicle, removed an object from the vehicle's trunk, and threw it though the glass door of the business. At this point, the witness contacted 911."
The suspect, the captain continued, had entered the business, and had taken a flat-screen television from a wall inside the store, then left the scene. Bolton said a lookout was given for the suspect's vehicle, and Blanton was located near the store.
"He was stopped in the area of Ga. Highway 81 West and Mill Road," said Bolton. "The stolen television was found in the trunk of the vehicle, along with suspected burglary tools. A small amount of suspected marijuana was also located in a small plastic bag near the center console of the vehicle."
The in-state fugitive charge against Blanton stems from a charge in Clayton County, according to records from the Henry Jail. Further details on the Clayton charge were not available Thursday.

Big Brother....come on now. The Soviet Union fell 20 years ago my friend.
The FBI and IRS are not elected officials that need to be in the headlines every other week to impress their constiuents like Mr. Russo and Dimora. Law inforcement follows the facts and acts accordingly.
Do you remember the world famous Hilary Clinton Heath Bill.....It got killed because the Dems did not have the Senate.
Get your facts straight.
I think the word you were looking for was ethical.
Tax cuts and prescription drugs for Senior Citizens. There's 2 smart a$$.
The one that needs to go to Germany is Sherrod Brown. If memory serves me, HE is the junior Senator from the STATE OF OHIO, not John McCain.
And oh yea, wasn't the annointed one, Barrack just over in Germany last month? DId he meet the the heads of DHL? My guess is not......because the DHL people want nothing to do with the socialist/democrat candidate for the White House. They are smart enough to see the writing on the wall with regards to this clown.
It would be a terrible thing for Wilmington to lose 1000 jobs. However, how many would UPS in Columbus and Cleveland pick up because of this?
At the end of the day, Ohio's business climate is in the lower 3rd when compared to the other lower 48 states. The tax structure is a mess and the amount/price of litigation is a killer.
Hey Sherrod, start paying attention to those items, and less attention to politics.
should have known by your logon that you most likely voted for Dennis the Menace or kicked the soap to Rocky River.....or both.
Take a look at the hard facts. Ohio is not business friendly and that has more to do with the boys in columbus as opposed to those in Washington. taxes are too high and litigation is crazy.
We are certainly not the Mississippi of the north. West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin or Michigan would take that moniker before we would.
This situation that this article illustrates is Sherrod's inability to rise to the defense of Ohioans. He is the Junior senator from the Great State of Ohio, not John McCain. Sherrod Brown needs to get on the plane to Berlin, not John McCain. Once again, SB only reinforces his stigma of being an elitist socialist that has never spent a day earning an honest days wage. He has always been, and appears that he will always be on the public dole.
My senior civics teacher wrote a quote on the blackboard and left it there for the entire year:
"Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely". Lord Acton
Let's face it. Any political entity, regardless of the party that is in charge, needs a counter balance. Cuyahoga county and the City of Cleveland illustrates the quote. O'Malley, Russo, Dimora, Kelly are the tip of the iceberg.
The fed's have been chasing these clowns for years.....and for good reason. They are meticulous in their investigation tactics and gues what......they usually take down who they are chasing.
Frankie and the Fat Man will get their's in the end and so be it.
Dimora's wife knows her husband is a scum bag and has chose to either ignor it for the sake of the kids or is complicit. Frankie's ex-wife knew the guy was a joke and got out when she could. Good for her. God help him if she is a women scorned....the Fed's will have more than enough to send him away for eternity after talking to her.
I feel for their children. Those kids didn't chose their parents. At the end of the day, we are role models for our children and some take on the responsibility and others lose sight of life's goal. Orange jump suits and iron bars may give Frankie and the Fat Man better perspective on what is really important in life. Unfortunately for their children, their fathers' narscicism will effect their lives as well.
Maybe Sutherland is the snitch??!! She is going to gain the most out of Frankie and the Fat Man's demise.
Well boys the writing is on the wall. When the leader of the State's Democrat party asks for an alledged corupt party boss to step down, the Fat Man needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Strickland and the machine in Columbus have officially thrown the Fat Man off the island.
I hope Jimmy can float. God knows he is one whale of a meal for the sharks.
As for the FBI brining charges, they'll come sometime this fall......ala an October Surprise.
Good comments. Let's not forget the impetus to Newt's Contract, Hillary's Health Plan. The Contract was backlash for her trying to push us into a socialistic state.
I could only imagine how bad our economy would be if our health care system is controlled by the government.....let alone the quality of health care.
The VA system illustrates all of the pitfalls of what could have happened and what might be if Laura Tyson and Robert Reich had their way under an Obama White House.
God help us all......Jimmy Carter only 30 years later. UGH!
Put the blunt down, clear your head and get real!
Gingrich was the political head that just happened to be in charge of the minority party when the tide turned. It could have been Mickey Mouse you dunce.
The facts are irrefutable. Clinton had no choice but to play ball with a Republican Congress and house.....if chose to be an obstructionist, he would not have won re-election in 1996. The bills that created the surplus and workfare were written by Replublicans.
I contend Northeast Ohio's economic woes are due to 50 years of Democrat control of the various political offices and their failed economic policies. Tax and spend never works. Ohio's economic climate stinks. Companies do not want to move here. They are going to the sunbelt and the southeast for various reasons. For this discussion, take a look at the political powers in FLA, GA, SC, NC, TX AZ, AL, and NV. They are all run by Republicans.
Take a look at Ohio, PA, MI, IL, and WS. Democrats.
Again, put the blunt down and understand the facts.
Tressel is worth every penny. I'd double his salary if he continues to embarrass Michigan every year, retains the best home grown recuits, wins conference titles and takes us to meaningful bowl games.
What in the world did we pay John Cooper all those years? And for what!
Thank god for Jim Tressel. He is an honest man, who cares about the kids he has playing for him, and wins by playing the rules.
HMMM...................the State's unemployment figure hits 7.2% and we should be giving every employee 7 paid sick days a year. Wow, I know that if I was a manufacturer that could chose between Steubenville Ohio and Wierton WVA to put a facility, I know where I would be setting up shop.
Unions continue to be the bane of American manufacturing. Just ask GM and Ford. The first $5M of every car sold goes to pay the retiree health and pension benefits that the beloved UAW negotiated. They were penny wise and pound foolish.
At the end of the day, we will be making nothing in this country. Middle America will dissappear and we'll be left with 2 classes of people, people with money and people on the public dole.
How sad.
The last time Tressel played a game out west where the rest of the country gave him no chance, he won a National Championship against Miami.
The rest of the country might just wake up on 9-14 hating the Buckeyes even more than ever before.
I live in Medina and have Armstrnog as my cable provider. As you can guess, they do not have a deal done the the Big Ten Network either. I have called, I have sent letters, I have joined email petitions....to no avail.
What gets me is that Ohio State is a publicly funded institution. We should be able to watch all of the games for free...as we are already funding them through various state taxes.
It will boil down to the USC game. Control the ball, make no mistakes and score touchdowns (not field goals) and we should run the table. Watch out for games at Wiskey and MSU.
People keep throwing Florida out there as a possible opponent. I think they over look Oklahoma's soft schedule; out of conference only has Washington...and let's face it they are not going to be good, in conference the Big 12 will be weak.
I'm guessing we could see 2 Ohio boys coaching in the BCS Championship this January: Tressel and Stoops.
No Wells equals a west coast loss. With Wells, we have a chance to redeem ourselves.

I thought sex was a personal matter. The apologists on CNN and MSNBC were repeating this line over and over again in 1998. I guess that only counts if the person in question is a Democrat. Ever hear of John Edwards??!!

These people need work.
