When Nora Cotterelle (Emmanuelle Devos) first glides into view in Arnaud Desplechin's sprawling and exuberant "Kings and Queen," you almost feel as though she's wafted in on the strains of "Moon River," floating in the Parisian spring air like some flowery perfume. In fact, she's just stepped out of a taxi, and paused in front of the art gallery she runs to fill us in on the significant events in her life so far. The 35-year-old mother of a 10-year old boy, Elias (Valentin Lelong), Nora has been married twice, widowed and divorced once each, and is now newly engaged to Jean-Jacques (Olivier Rabourdin), a man she believes truly loves her because, as she says, he strives to satisfy her every desire.
Nora is such a poised and elegant specimen of Parisian womanhood, and so vulnerable, that at first you want to swat away increasingly clear evidence of her narcissism like a fly. The stories she tells about herself, the way she shapes her life's defining tragedies into a linear narrative and the shy and brave way she presents it all to the camera doesn't invite judgment at first so much as they inspire self-reflection. Observing her in full self-mythologizing mode (she identifies with Leda of Greek mythology, seduced by Zeus posing as a swan) is a little like pausing in front of a store window and catching an unflattering reflection of yourself. Surely (because you are not exactly as you present yourself, either) she can't be this gracious, this long-suffering, this exquisitely Bergmanesque and doggedly hopeful.
Of course, she can't.
A complex, boldly experimental movie plotted like a thriller and paced like a farce, "Kings and Queen" is category-defying film that's as smart and emotionally resonant as it is entertaining. At 2 hours and 30 minutes, full of scenes that feel like they belong in at least two films, "Kings and Queen" burrows into your psyche and stays there for days. Desplechin is obsessed with psychoanalysis (he also gamely makes fun of his obsession in the film), and after a while the film takes on the characteristics of a universal dream. Watching the characters struggle to understand the forces that shaped them, you find yourself doing the same.
In many ways, "Kings and Queen" is a visceral mystery, a whodunit in search of the emotional truth. And Desplechin — who in previous films such as "Esther Kahn" and "My Sex Life" also borrowed from familiar genres to slip his singular vision into something a little more comfortable — would much sooner let us come to our own conclusions about his characters than crack the authorial whip.
After Nora's story is under way, the director swaps Henry Mancini for an avant-garde score, and trades the honey-coated realism of Nora's version of her story for the darkly absurdist worldview of her second husband, Ismaël (Mathieu Amalric). A puckish violinist who plays in a string quartet and sees himself as a Kafkaesque character in a world of bureaucratic wolves, Ismaël sits in his darkened apartment, simultaneously eating a burger, smoking a cigarette, listening to French hip-hop and contemplating a noose he keeps at the ready for — mostly — philosophical reasons. (His answering machine is fixed to hurl prerecorded abuse at the tax agents who are trying to track him down.) He is visited by a pair of farcical orderlies, who inform him that he is being committed to a psychiatric hospital. There he tries, unsuccessfully, to defend his sanity to a cool hospital director played by Catherine Deneuve.
By then it's clear that "Kings and Queen" is not going to turn out to be the well-ordered bourgeois romance hinted at in the opening scenes. And it's a testament to Desplechin's insight that the less unified the movie's tone, the more it resembles real life. Nora and Ismaël's stories seem unconnected at first until Nora travels to Grenoble to visit her father, Louis (Maurice Garrel), a professor and author, and discovers that he's terminally ill. Desperate to find someone to care for Elias while she tends to her father in his last days, Nora frantically searches for Ismaël. Ismaël, meanwhile, is trying to free himself from the hospital, where he's drawn into a reluctant romance with an anorexic suicidal student named Arielle (Magali Woch).
If Nora ruthlessly bends her life to conform to her idea of what it should be, Ismaël careens through his days getting caught up in bizarre adventures. His eccentricity wins him as many enemies as it does friends — among them, the hilariously drug-addled lawyer who hits on the idea of getting the tax collectors off his back by making his insanity retroactive.
Nora is the type of character who can make a line like, "Sometimes I snort heroin with him on the weekends," sound like a request for a pound of pork loin, so it's easy to accept her version of her story at face value for a little longer than feels comfortable. Ismaël, meanwhile, can't pay his taxes or show up at his parent's house for Christmas, and has spent three afternoons a week for the past eight years poring over his subconscious with the famous psychoanalyst Dr. Devereaux (Elsa Wolliaston). He also break-dances during group therapy. We believe him, basically, when he presents himself as helpless before his eccentricity and existential malaise. We believe he really means it when he blinks earnestly at Deneuve and tells her that men live to die, and that women can't understand this because they have no souls. For all the tears that Nora has shed, however (some of which may have been rehearsed), it becomes obvious she may have given better than she's gotten overall. Is Nora a victim? (All the people in her life have let her down.) Or is she a manipulative, self-made martyr? (All the people in her life have let her down.)
As prone to bursts of enormous generosity as they are to acts of monstrous selfishness, Nora and Ismaël are more alike than is at first obvious. Their efforts to connect with others invariably end in disappointment; still they believe in the possibility of love. Nora's cold father claims to adore her, but she's nervous before paying him a visit.Ismaël's sister Elizabeth (Noémie Lvovsky) reacts with a blast of neurotic fury when he offers her a blank card stuffed with a large check as a belated Christmas present in July, but takes the money anyway. Is it selfish or selfless of Nora to ask Ismaël, whom she dumped, to legally adopt Elias, because the boy considers Ismaël to be his father?
Is it selfish or selfless of Ismaël, who loves Elias like a son, to decline, offering the boy a long list of valid reasons that are sure to linger as simple rejection?
Near the end of the movie, Desplechin — as though, finally weary of our obtuseness — upends our perception of Nora with such force that it colors our view of her retroactively, and we never again see her in the same light. Ismaël too is subjected to a harsh dressing down that leaves him without a job and an instrument. Whether they had it coming or life is just unpredictably cruel is left open to interpretation. But Ismaël, a child who has not allowed himself to grow up, seems liberated. As for Nora, it's either proof of her monstrousness or her plucky, movie-inspired bravery that, after her father is gone and her new husband secured, she sighs contentedly and says, "The cycle of woe was over."
At which point "Moon River" is again free to waft along the boulevard on a sunny afternoon. And she means it too. Ismaël may be bipolar, but she thinks she's Holly Golightly.

The Tribe — losers of six straight and 18 of their last 22 after falling 5-3 to the Seattle Mariners on Monday night — will be facing right-hander Feliz Hernandez, who threw a perfect game his last time out.
If the slumping Cleveland Indians are looking for something that will spark some optimism and hope, they are unlikely to find it on the mound Tuesday night.
The Tribe — losers of six straight and 18 of their last 22 after falling 5-3 to the Seattle Mariners on Monday night — will be facing right-hander Feliz Hernandez, who threw a perfect game his last time out.
"When things are going bad, they're going bad," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "That's the way things are going right now and we're just going to have to show up again tomorrow and continue to battle.
"It's not easy. No one likes to lose. Even though (starter) Ubaldo (Jimenez) did great, it's a team effort. We win as a team and lose as a team."
It was almost a one-man effort for the Mariners, who got a pair of two-run homers from Michael Saunders.
Saunders also hit a two-run homer on Sunday and now has a career high 13. He has eight hits in his last 16 at-bats, including three home runs, after going 1 for 35 over his previous eight games.
Eric Thames also had a solo shot for the Mariners in the sixth as well as a triple in the eighth.
The Mariners have won 13 of their last 14 games at Safeco Field. It's the best home stretch over 14 games in club history. They are 23-13 since the All-Star Break.
The Indians are 10-27 since the All-Star break, the worst record in the league.
"We have to play better in all aspects of the game," said Jason Kipnis, who had a pair of RBIs. "We've got to play better baseball, offense, defense, pitching.
"It's not a lack of effort or concentration. The team is out there fighting and trying. Things are just not falling in the right place now."
Kipnis had started the game for the Indians with a shot off the right field foul pole. It was his 12th home run and first career leadoff homer.
Saunders then put the Mariners ahead 2-1 in the third, hitting a 3-1 fastball from Jimenez to deep center.
"I was looking for the heater at that point," Saunders said. "He threw one middle away. When I was going bad, I was rolling over on that pitch. I needed to correct that."
The Indians jumped back ahead with a two-run fifth. Casey Kotchman walked with one out then Ezequiel Carrera beat out a right-side bunt. With one out, Kipnis singled to left, scoring Kotchman from second. Asdrubal Cabrera then singled to center, scoring Carrera from second for a 3-2 lead.
Thames tied it in the sixth with his two-out, 425-foot blast into the right-center seats. It was his fifth.
Page 2 of 2 - Then Saunders faced another inside battle with reliever Tony Sipp in the seventh. With a runner on first, Saunders found himself in a 2-2 count.
"I haven't had too much success in my career against Sipp," Saunders said. "Typically, he's gotten me out with those sliders."
Saunders had been 0 for 5 in his career against Sipp with three strikeouts.
"He ended up hanging one (slider) tonight," Saunders said. "I tried not to do too much, just put a good swing on it."
That one traveled deep into the right-center seats for his third career two-homer game.
"Even the two home runs were good pitches," said Jimenez, who gave up six hits and three runs in 5 2-3 innings. "They just hit them. The first one I fell behind the count and he put a good swing on the ball. The second one it wasn't a bad pitch. It was a back-door slider, probably too much of the plate, but it was a good pitch."
Charlie Furbush (5-2) earned the victory in relief of starter Kevin Millwood.
Tom Wilhelmsen worked the ninth and had trouble closing. Kotchman singled with one out and Carrera doubled to right, with Kotchman taking third.
Wilhelmsen threw a wild pitch but the ball bounced hard off the backstop and both runners held.
"The guy throws a wild pitch to put the potential tying run at third base with less than two outs and the ball bounces right back to the catcher," Acta said. "And our guys couldn't move. That's the way things are going right now."
Pinch hitter Jack Hannahan drew a walk to load the bases, which didn't really bother Wilhelmsen. It set up the double play.
"That's the idea," Wilhelmsen said.
He added that he left a pitch up Kipnis.
"I was lucky he got on top of it," he said. "And we got the double play."
Kipnis bounced the ball to second and it was turned quickly into a game-ending double play. Wilhelmsen picked up his 18th save in 20 opportunities.
Joe Smith (7-4) took the loss.
NOTES: Hernandez, who threw the 23rd perfect game in Major League history last Wednesday, was named the American League Player of the Week. He is the first Mariners pitcher to win the award since Joel Pineiro on May 7, 2006. Hernandez starts Tuesday night against Cleveland. ... Mariners Trayvon Robinson had 10 outfield putouts, most in club history for a left-fielder. ... The Indians staff has given up 59 unearned runs this season, second most in the majors. Of those, 21 have come over the past 14 games.

Official known as one of the insurgency's fiercest opponents
KABUL, Afghanistan
A Taliban suicide bomber tried to assassinate the influential new chief of Afghanistan's intelligence service at an agency guesthouse in Kabul on Thursday, officials said, in a brazen attack that left him seriously wounded and underscored the insurgency's ability to go after those at the highest levels of the government.
The attack — against Asadullah Khalid, who had just taken over the National Directorate of Security in September — sidelined a man who had emerged as one of the insurgency's fiercest opponents, as well as an implacable critic of Pakistan.
In his short time at the reins, Khalid had stepped up clandestine operations against the Taliban's middle- and upper-level leadership, according to Afghan and coalition officials. He has also put his agency at the forefront of Afghan and Western efforts to clamp down on the killings of coalition troops by Afghan soldiers and police, some of which have been attributed to Taliban infiltration.
The National Directorate of Security said in a statement that Khalid had survived a "cowardly terrorist attack." It offered no details, but his wounds appeared substantial: Afghan and Western officials with knowledge of his condition said he had suffered injuries to his chest and abdomen. One Afghan official said he arrived bleeding and unconscious at a hospital run by the intelligence service.
President Hamid Karzai, who is close to Khalid, visited the hospital soon after the attack and said in a statement that his condition was improving.
Khalid was later flown to Bagram Air Field, a coalition base north of Kabul, said Jamie Graybeal, a spokesman for the coalition. The move was made to take advantage of the higher-quality medical facilities available at Bagram, one of the largest coalition bases in Afghanistan.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in an email sent to the media. Some Afghan officials, prompted by Khalid's public criticism of Pakistan's ambitions and influence in Afghanistan, voiced suspicions that Pakistani interests may have sanctioned the attack — a frequent, though mostly unprovable, pattern of blame after high-profile attacks here in recent years.
The attack took place in the Kabul neighborhood of Taimani, an upscale district that is home to many foreigners, inside one of the guesthouses that Khalid and the intelligence directorate uses, according to two western officials.

An early-morning shooting Saturday in a Brooklyn Center parking lot left one man injured, police said.
Brooklyn Center police responded to the incident at 2:30 a.m. in the parking lot of the Denny's restaurant at 6405 James Circle N., said Sgt. Rick Gabler.
The man was shot in the thigh and suffered nonlife-threatening injuries, Gabler said. The man's identity has not been released.
The restaurant was closed for about three hours. The incident doesn't appear to be random, Gabler said.
No arrests have been made. The incident remains under investigation.
Two weeks earlier, a man was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound at the Super 8 motel near Interstate 694 and Shingle Creek Parkway, about 400 feet from the Denny's.

What did you choose for your Eagle project?
I collected shoes — all kinds — from my neighbors and community to be sent to third world countries. I read in a Boy's Life magazine about a nonprofit organization called Share Your Souls and fell in love with the idea of collecting shoes. It made me sad to think of people without shoes and it made me want to help them out. The whole Share Your Souls organization is run by volunteers. To get started I made advertisements, handed out flyers and fridge reminders, posted on Facebook, sent neighborhood e-mails, and did presentations to other scouts during their regular meetings. My next step is to raise the money to ship the shoes to Chicago where they'll be distributed throughout the world — wherever they're most needed. My goal is to collect 1000 pairs of shoes and I know with the community's help, we can do it.
What challenges have you faced?
Talking to the cub scouts was hard — you have to step out of your comfort zone and step up and be more confident in speaking. Presenting my ideas to these scouts was a breath of fresh air for me. I got to be an example for them. Also sorting, cleaning, polishing and sanitizing all those shoes — 660 pairs so far — that was a big job. Boxing them, making sure they're all packaged and ready to go is a lot too. Sidestreet Laundromat donated the use of their washing machines to launder the sneakers and that was a help. I work at Wegmans and they donated boxes for shipping, and Office Max donated the shipping tape. I'm still collecting shoes — I want to send 1000 pairs.
What have you learned about being a leader?
I'm more confident now. Speaking in front of a group isn't as difficult as it used to be. When I was doing my presentations, I had to be confident and know what I was talking about. Being a leader for me is about organization — making sure everything is getting done properly. Being a leader means you're taking control and leading a group of people and telling them what needs to be done.
Out of the 21 needed merit badges, which have you earned so far?
All of them, including animal science, camping, canoeing, citizenship in community, citizenship in nation, citizenship in world, communications, cooking, emergency preparedness, environmental science, family life, fingerprinting, first aid, golf, nature, personal fitness, personal management, plant science, rifle shooting, sports, swimming
Page 2 of 2 - When do you expect to become an Eagle Scout?
Definitely before I turn 18. If all goes well, our goal is the first or second week of May. I still need to collect 340 more shoes and raise shipping money to get the shoes sent. If people want more information about making a donation of shoes or money, people should contact firstname.lastname@example.com for information.
How has scouting impacted your life?
Scouting has influenced me dramatically, just following the Boy Scout oath and the law — it tells you the morals of being a leader. When you say the oath, it's in you and you can make the better choice. When I was becoming a Boy Scout I heard about (what it takes to be an Eagle Scout) — It just made me more into scouting. I want to be one of the 4 percent (who make it to Eagle). It's truly a high accomplishment, and it's going to be good for colleges, for resumes and for getting a job.

Checklist for Completing a PMSP (PDF)
If you are interested in developing a PMSP, it is important to work with your IPM Center and to use this checklist, created through a national effort among all the IPM Centers.
Pest Management Strategic Plans (PMSPs) address pest management needs and priorities for individual commodities or settings in a particular state or region. These plans take a pest-by-pest approach to identifying the current management practices (chemical and nonchemical) and those under development. Developed by growers, commodity associations, land-grant specialists, food processors, crop consultants, and EPA, these plans include priorities for research, regulatory activity, and education/training programs needed for transition to alternative pest management practices.

SANS Survey Maturing and Specializing: Incident Response Capabilities Needed
Hackers used to break into a system, steal as much data as possible and get out, without worrying about detection. Today, however, they have learned to be patient, harvest more data, and cause significant security and financial effects. Because of this, organizations must detect and respond to incidents as quickly, efficiently and accurately as possible.
SANS: The Race to Detection: A Look at Rapidly Changing IR Practices

SANS: Automation in the Incident Response Process: Creating an Effective Long-Term Plan
If 2014 was the year of the mega breach, with corporate giants falling prey to hackers and suffering significant data breaches, 2015 may very well be known as the year of proactive vigilance. This means organizations must prepare for the inevitable data breach. Download this SANS report to learn how to build out incident response procedures, processes and solutions that can accelerate your time to discovery, response and recovery.
Why Are You Still Paying for Antivirus?
Nuisance malware can damage productivity and consume IT time, but advanced threats can cripple a company. As advanced attacks increase in both sophistication and quantity, the potential risk and damage they pose to organizations has increased exponentially. While antivirus (AV) serves a role in mitigating nuisance malware, it does not stop advanced threats and it should not be a top endpoint security investment in 2015. Are you still paying for antivirus?
SANS: Point of Sale Systems and Security
As countless retail organizations have fallen victim to POS-driven information security breaches targeting consumer payment card data, pressure on retail executives to take further action to protect POS devices has risen dramatically. Download the SANS Institute's latest report on Point of Sale Security to understand how you can keep your POS systems secure.
Application Control in Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2
One of the big challenges when it comes to IT administration is that of ensuring strong application control. If administrators are to keep employee desktops and corporate servers secure then they must be able to maintain full control over the applications that are installed on these devices.
Advanced Threat Hunting with Carbon Black
With the number of advanced attacks increasing every day—most undiscovered through traditional detection and response solutions—truly hunting for threats within your environment can be a laborious task. To combat this, enterprises must focus on prioritizing endpoint data collection over detection, leveraging comprehensive threat intelligence, and expanding detection beyond the moment of compromise.
SANS: Incident Response: How to Fight Back
Most organizations have not proactively prepared for a breach. In fact, a majority of incident responders (52 percent) say they lack the necessary visibility into endpoint vulnerabilities. Without continuous data collection at the endpoint, preparing and responding to a breach is exponentially hampered. Download the SANS Institute's latest industry survey to understand these key findings.
Closing PCI DSS Security Gaps with Proactive Endpoint Monitoring and Protection
Retailers and other covered organizations face increasing pressure to not only comply with PCI DSS 3.0, but to also protect servers and endpoints from evolving security threats. This new white paper explains how a positive security solution can help you achieve both goals, and avoid the costs and risks of non-compliance and/or a security breach.
Checklist: 10 Ways to Protect Your Company From a Data Breach
With retailers recently testifying before Congress that they're facing increasingly sophisticated threats from cyber criminals, and no end to those in sight, it's become apparent that your company needs to implement strategies that will protect itself from a costly data breach. Here are 10 ways you can more easily achieve that goal while maintaining required PCI compliance (all of these tips fall within one of five buckets — visibility; asset control; enforcement; trust policy; advance measurement.)

SANS Whitepaper: Server Security: A Reality Check
This whitepaper discusses the methodology of internal and external attacks on data center servers and the applications running on them. It also discusses why, even with our layers of security in place today, servers are still vulnerable, and how organizations can leverage application controls to permit what is known and trusted while denying everything else.
9 Ways To Secure Your Store Systems and Ensure PCI Compliance
As a retail security professional, you are challenged with maintaining a constant state of PCI compliance and keeping your infrastructure safe using best-of-breed security solutions that help, rather than hinder, your quest to validate your systems.
Endpoint Security Demands Defense-in-depth and Advanced Analytics
When it comes to endpoint security, large organizations find themselves in a difficult situation. Most enterprises have host-based security software (i.e., antivirus software) installed on almost every PC and server, yet their IT assets are constantly attacked—and often compromised—by sophisticated malware and targeted attacks.
Using Whitelisting to Combat Malware Attacks
Numerous studies have proven antivirus (AV) software's inability to effectively catch all malware. In 2011, Carnegie Mellon University researchers found that "AV immediately detected up to 62.15 percent of malware and required days or even weeks to find the rest."1 That study also concluded that "despite behavior-based detection, AV software can't effectively detect all current forms of malware."
Overcoming Blind Spots in Network and Endpoint Security
Despite the fact that today's IT security threats have advanced across a spectrum of sophistication and scale, defenses continue to fail with alarming consistency. The evolution of defense has produced fragmentation among security tools. The gap between network security technologies and defenses on endpoints and servers is a particularly pointed example.
Advanced Threat Landscape What Your Organizations Need to Know
In the wake of the numerous server data breaches reported this year, it is clear that traditional signature-based blacklisting security strategies are inadequate in addressing today's sophisticated cyber threats. Advanced threats are targeting servers to steal valuable corporate intellectual property. These attacks happen fast – in less than 15-20 minutes – and are bypassing traditional security tools.
Advanced Protection Against Advanced Threats
Finding the optimal approach to managing business complexity is a challenge, since this year's solution is next year's fixed cost. Anti-virus (AV) technology, for instance, may now cost more than the value it provides. Replacing or retiring it to reduce enterprise costs, however, may have legal ramifications. When navigating their options, organizations are faced with the following questions: What do we want to accomplish? Where do we begin? How will our outcomes improve?
Removing the Endpoint Blind Spot
In addition to being the most effective technology for preventing advanced and targeted attacks, Bit9 Parity fills an important gap in the overall visibility of activity within a network. The Bit9 Parity Agent is an endpoint sensor tracking all file and process activity in real time, while the Bit9 Parity Server provides a live inventory view into all executable content across all systems. When coupled with network sensors, such as intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) and firewalls, Bit9 provides audit data that enables earlier detection of threats, better filtering of noise, and faster investigation and remediation times.
Moving Beyond a Porous Perimeter
Deploying Bit9 Parity Suite extends threat detection to endpoints and provides the information the Security Information and Event Management system requires to live up to its full potential.
The Desktop Dilemma: Liberty vs. Lockdown
Ask any Windows administrator or security professional and you'll find widespread support for locking down PCs by removing users' administrative privileges. Why then have so many IT organizations been unable to implement better controls in their desktop environments?
Realistic Security, Realistically Deployed: Today's Application Control and Whitelisting
Historically, IT defense has focused largely on the threat. So-called "blacklist" technologies maintain an inventory of specific attack types, and provide defense against each. Today, the volume, variety and sophistication of attacks highlights the limitations of such approaches, as signature databases approach their upper limits and leave exploitable gaps in defense.

There was no big spectacle when Diddy visited his friend Lil Wayne earlier this month at New York's Rikers Island. There are no pictures or video footage. [artist id="1244169″]Diddy[/artist] told MTV News he just wanted to check in on a friend who always came through in the clutch for him.
"Wayne is a trooper," Diddy said Tuesday (May 18) while promoting his June 4 film, "Get Him to the Greek." "[artist id="510062″]Wayne[/artist] is doing great. It was a personal visit, so I don't want to get into the details of that. We're just counting down the days of him getting out. He's somebody that has been there for me over the years numerous times. I live in New York. It wouldn't have been right if I didn't go see him and check on his health and well-being. But the status of where that's at, that's his personal business."
One of the ways Wayne came through for Puffy was shooting a video for Diddy-Dirty Money's Last Train to Paris album, due June 28.
"On Last Train to Paris, Wayne is on the album, Drake is on the album, we're trying to get Hov on the album, trying to get Janelle Monáe on the album," Diddy told MTV News in March. "Everybody that's on the album, it's not done in a regular appearance way. It's done in a unique way that's authentic. It's not about a single or [album sales]. It doesn't have that behind it. Wayne is on a record that's called 'Strobe Lights.' It's one of the first records where I hear him talking about love and how love has affected him. That's the type of things I wanted to get out of people if they were on the album. I wanted people to get out of their comfort zone and do something that was special. He did the video for me over the weekend. 'Strobe Lights,' it's gonna be tough."
Diddy also said Wayne's absence from the scene is a big loss. "I think we gonna miss a certain energy that Wayne has," Diddy said. "The beauty about it is, he'll be back, and hopefully he'll come back a better person. Whenever we get in trouble, we're in the public spotlight. So hopefully there's a lot of kids out there who could learn from any mistakes that we may have put ourselves in, even if we're not guilty of the crime sometimes. We are human. People have to learn: 'Make sure you know where you're going, who you riding with, what the situation is.' We're targets. I'm just happy he doesn't have to do a lot of time and that he'll be out, and hopefully he'll use the time wisely and use it in a positive way."
What do you think about Diddy visiting Lil Wayne in prison? Let us know in the comments.

The first year of the Kliff Kingsbury coaching era was full of highs and lows.
From a preaseason panic about quarterbacks, a top-10 national ranking, the lengthy losing streak and finally an emphatic upset of Arizona State in the Holiday Bowl, Kingsbury's debut as a head coach was one of the most exciting 8-5 seasons in recent college football memory.
But now that the 35-year-old former gunslinger has proven both his coaching and recruiting chops, the focus now turns to improvement. Can Texas Tech rise above just another average team that excels on offense but lags behind on defense?
It's been a lengthy offseason, where the quarterback battle was decided in January, key players changed positions and off-the-field issues seemed to plague news cycles. But college football is finally on the doorstep. Here's a look at the 2014 Texas Tech Red Raiders:
Texas Tech Red Raiders
2013 record: 8-5 (4-5 in Big 12)
Bowl result: 37-23 victory over Arizona State in Holiday Bowl
2013 offense: 511.0 yards per game (392.8 ypg passing, 118.2 ypg rushing); 35.8 ppg
2013 defense: 418.5 yards per game (217.1 ypg passing, 201.5 ypg rushing); 30.5 ppg
Coach: Kliff Kingsbury (8-5 record at Texas Tech and overall, second season)
Starters returning (offense/defense): 8/5
Big 12 preseason media poll: 6th
Preseason polls (AP/Coaches): 38/42
Preseason All-Big 12 selections: OL Le'Raven Clark.

Texas Tech's 5 biggest off-season storylines: QB exodus, Nigel Bethel dismissal, more
5 bold predictions
1. Texas Tech will beat at least one top-15 team. The Red Raiders will likely have at least two chances to square off against top-10 teams (Oklahoma and Baylor), with an early season match against Kansas State presenting at least a top-15 clash — presuming the Wildcats don't trip up, of course. Texas Tech's best chance will be against the Sooners in a late-season match in Lubbock. Oklahoma has struggled in the South Plains in recent years, and the Red Raiders are still probably kicking themselves for a blown chance in Norman last year.
2. Red Raiders won't lose any games by more than two scores. Texas Tech's offense means it can compete with any team in the nation, but its defense will be relied upon to keep the Red Raiders in the majority of the Red Raiders' true tests. Despite getting torn apart on the ground and giving up points in bunches at times last season, Texas Tech's defense managed to slow down each team it faced at least a few times. Expect continued improvement, especially if newcomers along the defensive line, like Rika Levi, find a groove at the start of Big 12 play.
3. Texas Tech will improve turnover ratio, but still be negative. The Red Raiders were minus-14 in turnovers last season, good enough for dead last in the Big 12. While Kingsbury doesn't normally harp on one subject for too long, he has talked about cutting down on turnovers drastically and lauded Davis Webb for his efforts in doing so. However, until the defensive line proves it can muster a pass rush and pressure opposing quarterbacks into mistakes, the secondary won't be able to improve on its eight interceptions from a year ago.
4. Kenny Williams leads Red Raiders in touchdown runs. While picking last year's leading rusher to lead the team in rushing touchdowns seems a bit tame, Williams is nowhere to be seen on the offensive depth chart. That's because he is now a starting outside linebacker. The senior, though, will still be used on offense, Kingsbury revealed on Big 12 media days. It is likely the bruiser is used in short-yardage and goal-line situations. The Red Raiders struggled in the red zone last season, so they might need to rely on the experienced back inside the 10.
5. Davis Webb ends season with Heisman hype for 2015. Even though Webb is bound to throw for 4,000 yards and 30-plus touchdowns this season, he won't be a legitimate contender for the Heisman Trophy. Part of that will be because the Red Raiders are unlikely to win the seemingly necessary 10 or so games that put "system" quarterbacks in the national conversation. Bryce Petty put up absurd numbers last year and didn't even get a New York City invite. Also, Petty, Kansas State's Jake Waters and Oklahoma's Trevor Knight will draw serious attention away from the sophomore. He has already showed the penchant for steady improvement, making enormous strides in just the month of December last year. If he can lead the Red Raiders to another Holiday Bowl-esque victory, he will be one of the most talked about quarterbacks next year.

3 key story lines
1. Can defensive line rise up to improve one of league's worst defenses? The Red Raiders lost seven starters on defense, including stalwart defensive linemen Kerry Hyder and Dartwan Bush. While Jackson Richards and Branden Jackson have the experience, much will be placed on junior college newcomers Rika Levi, Keland McElrath and Marcus Smith. Levi, in particular, will be looked upon to clog some of those holes while Tech's veteran linebackers pull down the runners for minimal gains. A lack of defensive line consistency could be the difference between a marquee bowl game and an early offseason.
2. Who will be Davis Webb's No. 1 target? The losses of wide receiver Eric Ward and All-American tight end Jace Amaro have been discussed all offseason, but so has the potential of playmaking wide receivers Jakeem Grant and Bradley Marquez. Both need to step up and haul in 80-plus catches, while guys like Reginald Davis, Jordan Davis and D.J. Polite-Bray will be looked at as the next wave of playmakers. If they go missing at times this season, so will Texas Tech wins.
3. How will the Red Raiders deal with adversity? Texas Tech probably should have beaten Oklahoma last year, but instead stalled trips into Sooners territory came back to bite the Red Raiders in a 38-30 loss. That kicked off a five-game losing streak, the final four coming by at least 18 points or more. Texas Tech ultimately overcame its woes for a bowl victory, but a top-10 ranking was long forgotten by then. It is highly unlikely the Red Raiders run the table, so seeing how this team bounces back from a loss will be key.

The verdict
Surprise winning streaks or grueling losing streaks? Check out the best and worst-case scenarios for the Red Raiders.
Prediction: Beating both Oklahoma State and Kansas State is not probable, though a split is doable and perhaps likely. Texas Tech will beat the teams it is supposed to, though a trip-up against TCU or Iowa State on the road isn't out of the question. Still, Texas Tech finishes a very respectable 8-4 in 2014, beating rival Texas along the way, and capping it all off with a win in the Alamo Bowl, thus giving the nine-win Red Raiders a preseason top-25 ranking in 2015.
Final record: 9-4

Invading Tintagel
Fondest memory:
Well, this is sad to say, but my favourite part of this trip, was buying myself a Viking helmet and sword, out of one of the many gift shops.
Whilst I was sitting and having my coffee, a couple of French students came walking along in front of me, and one of them was wearing this luscious viking helmet. I have always loved the legends of the vikings, right from when I was about 6 years old. So I wanted a helmet like this too! The four of us went mooching through the shops until I found what my little heart desired; as soon as I'd bought it, it went straight onto my head, then I found a sword to go with it too!
It didn't bother me none, walking around Tintagel, with my viking helmet on and brandishing my sword. Simon dared me to wear it when we left Tintagel and were going for our cream tea, so I did!

Family: Brittany Murphy was ill days before death
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Brittany Murphy's family told Los Angeles officials the actress was ill with flu-like symptoms in the days before her death at age 32.
The 32-year-old star of films such as "Clueless" and "8 Mile" died Sunday morning after collapsing at her Hollywood Hills home.
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter says they will conduct an autopsy Monday to try to determine what killed the actress. Winter says the reported illness could be a contributing factor to her death, but that it will be weeks before a final determination is made.
Winter says Murphy's death appears to be from natural causes.
Winter says prescription medications were taken from Murphy's home and officials will contact her personal physician to get a better sense of her medical history.
Funeral arrangements for Murphy have not been announced.

Demi Lovato is sticking by her girl. The newly pink-haired singer revealed to Ryan Seacrest on Friday night that friend Selena Gomez is "doing real well" after ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber's DUI arrest.
"We're really, really close," Lovato, 21, said talking to On Air With Ryan Seacrest at the KIIS-FM pre-Grammys party on Friday. "And any advice I had for her, we talked last night and it's between us. But I love her so much."
PHOTOS: Justin and Selena -- the way they were
As previously reported, Gomez grabbed dinner with the former "X Factor" mentor in West Hollywood on Thursday, hours after Bieber was arrested in Miami, Fla., for DUI and drag racing. The "Heartbreaker" singer then appeared in bond court, and set bail at $2,500: $1,000 for resisting arrest, $1,000 for DUI, and $500 for an expired license.
"We have an incredible friendship," Lovato said of Gomez, 21. "[She's] strong! She's doing really well right now!" (Gomez spent time with "Spring Breakers" costar Ashley Benson at a pre-Grammys party at the Beats Music Launch Party At Belasco Theatre later that night.)
PHOTOS: Justin and Selena's beach PDA
Bieber also seems to be doing well since posting bail. The 19-year-old troubled star waved to fans while sitting on top of an SUV after being released from jail Thursday afternoon. He later compared himself to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson, by posting the image via Instagram alongside a photo of the late Jackson. Jackson's black and white snapshot was taken when he waved to his fans after pleading not guilty in child-molestation charges in January 2004.
PHOTOS: Bieber's biggest scandals
The next night, the teen heartthrob broke his silence via Twitter. "YOU ARE ALL WORTHY NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS," he wrote. "BE STRONG GOD IS WITH US ALL. MY BELIEBERS CHANGED MY LIFE. I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL." Bieber has since left his Miami rental home and is now in Panama.

ANDREW TAYLOR Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Internal Revenue Service signaled Thursday that there will be further delays in new rules intended to rein in the use of tax-exempt groups for political campaigning.
The agency announced it won't hold a hearing this summer until it has a revised plan to police loosely regulated big-money political outfits like GOP political guru Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and the pro-Obama Priorities USA.
Thursday's announcement was read by both supporters and opponents of the regulations that a major rewrite was in the works. The outlines of an IRS plan for new rules on such groups were announced in November and sparked 150,000 comments, many from angry conservatives and tea party groups who said they were harassed by the IRS after seeking tax exempt status. The IRS says it's committed to carefully reviewing those comments before issuing new rules.
The IRS and the Treasury Department had said they wanted to prohibit groups from using "candidate-related political activity" like running ads, registering voters or distributing campaign literature as activities that qualify them to be tax-exempt "social welfare" organizations.
Under current rules, social welfare organizations may conduct some political work as long as it's not their main activity. The proposed new rules would block such things as running ads that "expressly advocate for a clearly identified political candidate or candidates of a political party" as fulfilling their tax-exempt mission. And ads that simply mention a politician to, for instance, urge him or her to vote a certain way couldn't be run 60 days before a general election of 30 days before a primary.
The rules also would limit voter drives and voter registration efforts and distribution of literature.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said Thursday's announcement meant that the IRS "has at least temporarily heeded the serious concerns expressed by myself and countless others, and has decided to scrap its proposed rule change restricting the political speech of social welfare groups."
Supporters of the proposed rules said Thursday's announcement was a setback.
"This delay is deeply disappointing and a real setback for democracy and faith in government," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. "The only hope we have is when the IRS goes back, they don't succumb to any form of political pressure and enact a very tough rule that will equally curtail liberal and conservative groups."

'Thieves' ditch squealing getaway donkeyComment on this story
Juan de Acosta, Colombia - A gang who tried to burgle a convenience store had to flee empty-handed when their getaway donkey started braying.
The three Colombian criminals had stolen ten-year-old Xavi 12 hours before the raid. They then loaded him with rum, oil, rice, cans of tuna and sardines.
But the donkey let out a series of 'hee-haws' as he waited outside the shop in the tiny north Caribbean town of Juan de Acosta, alerting the police.
Shop owner Fabio Orozco said: "They came through the roof to rob. They took rum, rice, everything."
The thieves fled, leaving Xavi in the hands of police. He was reunited with his owner 12 hours later and all the stolen items were returned. - Daily Mail

Country Tales.
Along a dark and dirty alley under anvil leaden skies,
Flowers on a window sill would come as a suprise,
And even if the grubby walls had not been blitzed and scarred,
Beauty does not last too long when life is grim and hard,
But in this misery, a splash of gold behind some grimy glass,
An oasis of loveliness, in squaller, if any chanced to pass,
To conjure up this strange scene beneath the darkened skies,
To bring daffodils into poverty cheers one walking by,
Someone in that ugly house that has caught the suns pale gleam,
Someone in that gloomy room had dared to dream a dream,
Someone wiser than they knew, had done a lovely thing,
And brought into that ruined street the magic of the Spring.

Gerald - per Coca Cola. On one flight over to Hawaii we were in one of those three seat rows, and my wife naturally struck up a conversation with the lady
in the adjacent seat, who turned out be be a Coca Cola employee. So my wife asked her is she got all her cola free, but she replied that she wouldn't drink
it because every ingredient they used is classified as DOT hazardous! Of course it takes awhile for a carbonated beverage to rot your teeth out; but the
concentrated carbonic acid they use to begin with would cut a hole right thru you. No difference in a darkroom. I've got glacial acetic acid on hand, sulfuric
acid, potassium permanganate crystals - all kinds of things that would do you in if you took a gulp. The difference between kitchen vinegar used for salad
dressing and straight killer glacial acetic is just a matter of concentration. But in terms of getting in trouble in the long run, esp with alt printers, chromium salts are a serious offender. Probably not too many people work with mercury anymore, but there might be a few. Ordinary methyl alcohol is mighty bad.
Pyro can penetrate skin tissue and is suspected of being the cuprit behind the Parkinson's disease of several famous photographers back when people didn't
wear plastic gloves. I had to fill out some silly paperwork to get uranyl nitrate. Unfortunately, the nickname for it is yellowcake - but it would take a few
shiploads of the stuff to make a dirty bomb. The amount I keep on hand couldn't kill an aphid.

Richard D. Kelley of Dover, Joseph Bonamico of New Philadelphia and Charles Knaack of Bolivar have been selected to receive this year's Zeisberger Heckewelder Medal.
Richard D. Kelley of Dover, Joseph Bonamico of New Philadelphia and Charles Knaack of Bolivar have been selected to receive this year's Zeisberger Heckewelder Medal.
This is the 33rd year that the Tuscarawas County Historical Society will present the Zeisberger Heckewelder Medals to outstanding Tuscarawas County residents.
Recipients will be honored May 7 during a banquet at the Tuscarawas County Senior Center at 425 Prospect St., Dover. The menu will feature herb chicken and beef au jus. Hospitality will begin at 6 p.m. and dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. Cost is $18 per person and reservations can be made by sending a check to the Tuscarawas County Historical Society at Box 462, New Philadelphia, OH 44663.
The deadline for reservations is April 25.
Kelley is a graduate of Kent State University, where he received a bachelor of architecture degree. After graduation, he joined the architectural and engineering firm of Marr-Knapp-Crawfiscq, where he helped design many buildings in Tuscarawas County for 38 years, until his retirement.
He served as a trustee of the Tuscarawas County Philharmonic for 22 years and the Easter Seals/Rainbow Connection for 26 years. He was a member of the Dover City Planning Commission for 28 years. He also devoted many years to the Tuscarawas and Carroll Mental Health Boards, Friends of the Dover Public Library and the Union Hospital Developmental and Community Relations boards. He was a member of the Dover Band Boosters and served as president of both the Dover and New Philadelphia Kiwanis clubs.
He and his wife, Zoe Ann, are the parents of sons Kevin and Brian Kelley and daughter Jana Martino. Richard was nominated for the honor by his granddaughter, Chloe E. Padilla.
Joe Bonamico is well-known in Tuscarawas County. He and his sisters, Margaret and Rose Ann Bonamico, have worked tirelessly to promote the outdoor drama "Trumpet in the Land," which will be performed this summer for a 44th season.
"Trumpet in the Land," by Paul Green, tells the story of the Christianization of the Delaware Native Americans at Schoenbrunn and their massacre at Gnadenhutten.
The production has contributed to the economic development and historical culture of the area.
Wanting to correct misunderstood historical figure Simon Girty, Bonamico wrote his own outdoor drama, "The White Savage." The play is presented annually, adding authenticity and variety to Schoenbrunn Amphitheater.
Bonamico also has taken time to share his love of history with area schoolchildren. He has directed productions, appeared on the History Channels, been featured in commercials and has appeared in television shows and print ads.
Charles Knaack, a trained art teacher, has supported both the art and history of Tuscarawas County since 1965. He and his wife, June, purchased a home in the Zoar community, making it, as Fred Miller, president of the Tuscarawas County Historical Society, has said, "fit into the style of the original home," which was constructed as a log cabin.
Page 2 of 2 - As a resident of historic Zoar, Knaack served as mayor and as a member of the Zoar Village Council. He served on the Ohio & Erie Canal board and was instrumental in the creation of the local towpath trail. As curator of the Zoar Museum, Knaack has successfully written many grants to secure funding for historical endeavors.
Knaack has played a principal role in running the Zoar Days Project for fifth-graders for more than 16 years. For this, he received the Citizenship Award from the Martha Holden Jennings Foundation.
Knaack is a 15-year member of the Tuscarawas County Historical Society.

Bryan Cranston Wins Best Actor Emmy 2014
Are You Glad Bryan Cranston Beat Matthew McConaughey at the Emmys?
Like us on Facebook
Kevin Spacey, Jeff Daniels, Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, and Jon Hamm were all left out in the cold when Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston took home the Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a drama. Though Cranston was favored to win, McConaughey was a close second for his work on True Detective. Breaking Bad also beat True Detective for outstanding drama. It's not too surprising, since this was Breaking Bad's last year to win, but I'm curious whether you're glad Cranston went home with the Emmy, his fifth for portraying Walter White.

What I'm looking for is a class like 2-3 times a week that just stretches - the kind that does not require complex positions with weird names, and will help a former ballerina get her extenstion back, and will get me limber enough to not embarrass myself in an intermediate dance class.
