So she and Michell settled on good lighting to make Colleen appear suitably perky. "And I'd be like, 'Not too close!' " Keaton says, referring to the camera position. "It's come to that." She grins ruefully. "But there's nothing wrong with [cosmetic procedures]. A gal's gotta do what she's gotta do. I'm not going to say that I wouldn't. Sometimes now I have a different feeling about [aging]. But you can't beat it; even if you do all that stuff, you're still not going to beat it." She shrugs and digs into another molecule of cheese.
In taking on the role of an aging beauty who won't go down without a fight, Keaton, 63, is doing what she's always done best: addressing the real-life dramas of the generation of women who came of age with her. In 1977, in her early thirties, she played a free spirit falling in love in Annie Hall, for which she won an Oscar. Ten years later, she was an executive struggling with child rearing in Baby Boom. At 50, she played a character whose husband dumped her for a younger woman in The First Wives Club, and at 57 she found romance again in Something's Gotta Give. Although this progression wasn't intentional, Keaton says, "I always felt that in some way I was ordinary—that I was somebody you could identify with. In spite of my being borderline odd, women still felt that I was more like one of them."
More than anything else, Keaton is palpably human. She was never a perfect, cookie-cutter starlet; she represented every woman who felt she was outside the norm. Her characters contradicted themselves, shot themselves in the foot, behaved ridiculously. When men drove them crazy, they snapped; when they were disappointed, their faces sagged. You could feel their hearts breaking. That's a big feat, especially in comedies.
"Look at the crying scenes in Something's Gotta Give," says Nancy Meyers, writer-director of the hit that grossed $124 million (she also wrote Baby Boom and the Father of the Bride movies). "Diane's character is completely miserable, but she's writing a comedy. The crying cures her writer's block, then her writing makes her laugh. And then the thought of it making her laugh makes her cry more. You give a scene that layered to most actresses and they'll go, 'Huh?' But Diane lets it rip."
Now Keaton's opening herself up in a new way: She's writing a memoir, contrasting her life with her late mother's. Dorothy Hall, née Keaton, died a year ago at 86, after a long struggle with Alzheimer's. (Keaton's father, Jack Hall, a civil engineer, died in 1990.) She'd been a full-time homemaker, and an archetypal one—she baked, sewed and was once a finalist for Mrs. California in a Mrs. America contest. She doted on Keaton's two younger sisters and younger brother, but she and Diane were especially close. She encouraged Keaton's fierce ambitions and served as the main sounding board for her daughter's projects.
Keaton is certain that her mother had artistic ambitions of her own, however quiet or unrealized. Dorothy was an obsessive journal keeper, cramming scores of brick-thick notebooks with thoughts, photographs, doodles and collages. "My mother had that fantasy of more, a bigger life, expressing herself," Keaton says. "You don't write all that unless you need to get the story of your life out. You're saying, 'I'm here. I want to express what it meant to me.' "
For the memoir, which will be published by Random House, Keaton is combining excerpts from those diaries with stories from her own life. "It's not so easy!" she says. "But I'm sending in little chapters to my editor. There's a sweet section where Mother is reflecting on her childhood, then I reflect on mine, on who we were and what that meant. There was my father's death—what it was for my mother, what it was for me, what it meant about my relationship to men. It's been really interesting for me."

Horgan-Kobelski, Irmiger win US marathon titles
By: Dave McElwainePublished: July 4, 23:40, Updated: July 5, 03:58
Husband-wife duo does it again
For the second year in a row, the husband-wife duo of Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski and Heather Irmiger (Subaru-Trek) won the US marathon national championships at the Firecracker 50 on the Fourth of July holiday in Breckenridge, Colorado.
Horgan-Kobelski defends marathon title
On a picture perfect day in Breckenridge, Jeremy Horgan-Kobelski (Subaru-Trek) overcame a four-minute deficit due to a flat tire, to make it two marathon titles in a row. Teammate Sam Schultz led the race for part of a lap, but settled for second place when JHK finally passed him. Colorado favorite Dave Weins (Topeak-Ergon) seemed stronger as the race progressed. He finished third. Jeremiah Bishop (Cannondale) also moved up in the late stages to finish fourth, while road racer Burke Swindlehurst finished fifth.
The US Marathon National Championships are part of the extremely popular Firecracker 50-mile race. This year the race sold out again and had 750 racers at the starting line for its 10th edition. The crowds in Breckenridge were enormous, with some spectators claiming viewing positions along the street as early as 6:00 am. There was face painting, parade floats, horses, balloons, and just about everything you might expect for a Fourth of July celebration.
The racers started on Main Street and were treated to a four-mile, 1200-vertical-foot climb up Boreas Pass Road. By the top of the road, JHK and Peter Stetina had a gap and were pulling away.
"The race was harder from the gun than last year," said Horgan-Kobelski. "I felt good but we were suffering. I was riding over my limit but stretched out a gap on the singletrack. But then I flatted on a descent and had to throw in a tube."
At the first descent into French Gulch, JHK had opened a gap over Stetina by one minute. Behind him Ryan Trebon (Kona) was descending well with Sam Schultz on his wheel. By the time JHK was dealing with his flat, Schultz found himself in the race lead.
When asked how this felt, Schultz said, "I was hoping that JHK could come back because this is a lot of pressure. I started feeling cramps coming. I managed to pound a bunch of fluids and hand in there. Unfortunately Stetina was climbing like a maniac."
Both JHK and Schultz heavily complimented Stetina's climbing ability. Schultz said, "he was a class act and just pulled over on the singletrack (where Schultz is more experienced) and let me go ahead."
By the time they were descending from Lincoln Hill on the first 25-mile lap, JHK had slipped to sixth place. Schultz, Stetina, Swindlehurst, and Bishop had all moved ahead. But by the next climb out to the start/finish, JHK had passed all but Stetina and Schultz.
"I had told myself I had two hours to catch back up. I was encouraged when I was able to see Sam and Peter going through the start finish only about a minute ahead of me," said Horgan-Kobelski. By the end of the race, JHK had build up a six-minute margin of victory over the entire field.
Behind the leaders, Dave Wiens started to make a move. He passed at least six riders in just the last lap alone. Bishop managed to pick off Colin Cares on the last lap also. Swindlehurst seemed to ride consistently fast lap times but also was passed on the last half lap by Wiens and Bishop.
This race was full of drama. Not only did JHK have to come back from a long way back to claim the win, Stetina's bike broke on the last lap. He crashed hard and suffered a shoulder injury. Andy Schultz (Kenda / Felt) crashed on a steep descent during the first lap, banged his head hard, and withdrew. Trebon, apparently suffering with the altitude, was force to walk his bike a long distance.
This is the second year in a row that both the men's and women's races have been won on 29-inch wheel bikes. A turning point in the sport seems to be taking place. The Subaru-Trek team no longer even brings their 26-inch wheeled bikes to races.
Most of the pro cross country racers will head to the US Pro XCT finals next weekend in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Irmiger makes it two in a row
Heather Irmiger (Subaru-Trek) pulled away from her rivals today to win by a convincing seven-minute margin over Amy Dombroski (Luna Team), who rode to her best Firecracker finish ever. An elated Krista Park (Incycle/Cannondale) finished third after riding much of the race in second place. She was less than a minute behind Dombroski. Gretchen Reeves (Tokyo Joe's), a two-time winner of the event, finished fourth, and Kelly Boniface (Moots) finished in fifth place.
Pua Sawicki (Okole Stuff.com), last year's runner-up, again found herself with Irmiger at the top of the Boreas Pass Climb. Irmiger managed to open up a two-minute gap on the singletrack leading to Sally Barber Road. Soon after, that Sawicki withdrew from the race due to a brake failure.
"My team told me that Pua was out, but I didn't really know who else was there so it didn't really matter," said Irmiger after the race. I was having some cramping so the French Gulch climb felt hard the second time. I'm glad I'm here (at the finish) and I made it."
Dombroski seemed to gain steam as the race progressed. "I started a bit conservatively. I've done this race a few times. I know it is easy to go out too hard, and at this altitude you never come back," said Dombroski. "I faded for a little while and then kind of got a second wind."
Park was hoping for a top three finish so that she would automatically qualify for marathon Worlds. She was literally glowing at the finish. "I'm happy. I rode half the race in second, but Amy had more than I did at the end."
Irmiger, along with her husband Horgan-Kobelski, will now try to defend their cross country national championship titles at Sol Vista, Colorado, in two weeks.
"I want to be fast for the national championships, the next World Cups, and the World Championships," said Irmiger. "I'm aiming to win every race from here on out - just going for wins. It's very straightforward."

Supplements and Inflammation
Research has shown that people with RA have low levels of selenium, a mineral found in whole-grain wheat products and shellfish such as oysters and crab. It contains antioxidants, which are believed to help control inflammation. It may also increase the risk of developing diabetes, so talk with your doctor before taking selenium supplements.
Vitamin D, usually associated with calcium and protection against osteoporosis, may also help lower the risk of RA in older women by helping to regulate the immune system. Good sources of vitamin D include eggs, fortified breads, cereals and low-fat milk.
Can Food Cause Inflammation?
While some foods seem to ease inflammation, compounds in others have been found to increase it. Eating hamburgers, chicken or other meats that have been grilled or fried at high temperature can raise the amount of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the blood. Although no direct correlation between AGEs and arthritis has been identified, high levels of AGEs have been detected in people with inflammation.
Another culprit that may boost inflammation is omega-6 fatty acids, which are found in corn, sunflower, safflower, soybean and cottonseed oils, many snack and fried foods, margarine, egg yolks and meats. Consuming more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3s raises your risk of joint inflammation and obesity. Keep fresh fruits and veggies on hand to help you avoid processed snacks that often contain omega-6 fatty acids.
As a result of menopause or steroid treatment, some people with RA may not get enough of certain vitamins and minerals. The most common deficiencies are in folic acid, vitamins C, D, B6, B12 and E, calcium, magnesium, selenium and zinc. Nutritionists agree that most nutrients should come from your food, rather than from supplements. However, a supplement may be necessary if you suffer from malnutrition. Again, talk to your doctor before taking any supplements.
The bottom line when considering nutrition and RA is to maintain healthy, well-balanced diet. One way to achieve this is to consider adopting a Mediterranean diet which includes plenty of omega-3 fatty acids, fruits, vegetables and whole grains, the benefits of olive oil – even a glass of red wine if your doctor allows.

Mintz Ends Fremont Drought
FREMONT, Ohio – Despite having several good runs at Fremont Speedway over past few years, Craig Mintz just couldn't seem to find victory lane.
A three year drought ended Saturday on Baumann Auto Group Night as the two-time track champion took the lead at the half way point and cruised to his sixth career win. The 30-lap feature went caution free. The victory in the Fort Ball Pizza Palace 410 Sprints was emotional for Mintz on the eve of Mother's Day as he lost his Mom last year.
"Tomorrow's Mother's Day so this one is for my Mom," said Mintz, who swept the weekend after winning at Attica Raceway Park on Friday.
"This is the greatest weekend we've had in quite awhile. All these guys back here busted their butts. We tried something different this week. We put some good ProShocks on and Linder's Speed Equipment put some different oil in them and tonight we were fast," said Mintz.
The King of the Hill match races determined the starting line-up for the first four rows of the 30-lap 410 sprint feature. Brian Lay, by virtue of winning the King of the Hill, and Mintz comprised the front row. Lay would bolt into the lead with Mintz, Todd Heller, Broc Martin, Gary Taylor, D.J. Foos, Travis Philo and Byron Reed in tow.
Lay and Mintz would separate from the pack as Heller ran comfortably in third while Martin and Taylor battled for fourth. The leaders caught the back of the pack by lap nine and the lapped cars were racing side by side in front of them. Lay and Mintz continued to run nose to tail as they battled in lapped traffic with Heller, Martin, Taylor, Philo and Reed in tow.
At the halfway point, Mintz made his move, driving under Lay exiting turn two to take the lead. Mintz pulled away slightly as Lay, Heller, Martin and now Reed gave chase. With six laps to go in the non-stop feature Mintz encountered heavy lapped traffic again with five cars battling for position. However, the leader's patience paid off as he was able to pick them off one at a time. Mintz would drive to the win over Lay, Heller, Reed and Martin.
Alvin Roepke is known as a bottom track racer. While everyone was racing on the bottom of the track Saturday Roepke decided to try the top and it worked as the Fremont Federal Credit Union 305 Sprint feature only had one caution. He took the lead from Jordan Ryan on the white flag and then used a lapped car as a pick on the final lap and drove to his fifth career Fremont win.
It ended a long drought at Fremont for Roepke as well as he said it's been since 2003 since he got a victory at Fremont.
"You guys better write that on the calendar that I ran the top side. My brother (Danny) has been helping me on this. We did a couple things tonight and Les Mintz (Craig's dad) helped us out a little bit and gave us a little trick advice. This is one of Craig Mintz' old cars," said Roepke. "Lapped traffic was in our favor because they were down on the bottom. I just tried to keep the car straight. I think it helped that Jordan (Ryan) and John (Ivy) were racing. They didn't know I was coming, especially not Al Roepke on the high side.
"I want to thank all the people who have helped us out this year. Crown Battery. They've been a great supporter of racers and the race track. Joe and Fran Darmofal and Third World Space Cargo and American Race Cars and Bobby's Truck and Bus Repair and of course my hometown, the Village of Elmore," added Roepke.
Not to be outdone, Art Ball, who holds the all-time feature win lead at Fremont, finally put the early season gremlins behind him and drove to his 75th career victory at Fremont in the Dirt Truck feature. Coincidently, Ball's win total matches his age and it was the 300th overall feature win for the Fremont Speedway Hall of Famer.
"We've had horrendous luck this season. But these guys didn't give up and have worked so hard on this truck," said Ball.
"You can't say these guys haven't been trying. Every week they've torn this truck apart and put it back together. Last week we found out it was a simple ignition switch causing all the problems," added Ball. "I felt like I was doing something wrong until tonight."
When asked if he had a couple more years of racing left in him to try and reach 100 victories at Fremont, Ball joked, "I'm not even sure if I can finish this year."

Red Glutinous Wine Chicken
Red Glutinous Wine Chicken
Ideally, the dish is cooked with red glutinuous wine and red glutinous wine lees. But if you only have access to the glutinous wine lees, you can substitute the red glutinous wine with regular Chinese rice wine.
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
- 500g chicken thigh (or half chicken) chop to small pieces
- 1 tbsp sesame oil if you find sesame oil too "heaty", substitute with regular cooking oil
- 1 tbsp olive or vegetable oil
- 6 slices ginger sliced as thinly as possible
- 200ml red glutinuous wine (红槽酒) may substitute with rice wine or even water
- 4 slices ginger
- 3/4 tbsp light soy sauce to taste
- 100 ml hot water
(A) Marinade
- 1 heaped tbsp red glutinous wine lees (红槽)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tbsp grated ginger juice (grate ginger, squeeze the pulp for the juice)
Finishing touches
- 2 tbsp red glutinuous wine may substitute with good quality Shaoxing wine; optional
- coriander (cilantro)
- Marinade chicken in (A) for 30 minutes.
- In a wok, heat sesame oil and olive oil. Add thinly sliced ginger and fry them until crispy. Set aside the fried ginger strips.
- Using the remaining oil in the wok, add chicken pieces. Stir fry until the chicken is cooked on the surface.
- Add red glutinous wine (or rice wine), the remaining ginger and light soy sauce. Cover with lid and let the contents simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Turn the chicken pieces over with kitchen tongs so that they can absorb the sauce evenly. Add hot water. Simmer with lid closed for another 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked. Season the gravy to taste.
- Transfer chicken with red glutinous wine gravy to serving plate and drizzle two tablespoons of red glutinous wine over the chicken. Garnish with the previously prepared fried ginger and coriander.
Noob Cook Tip
Different wine lees have varying degree of saltiness. Season the dish with soy sauce or salt according to taste.

College Hockey:Anchorage Captain Suspended After Allegedly Punching Teammate
Green Faces Assault Charge
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Alaska-Anchorage captain Lee Green has been suspended indefinitely by the team after being arrested on a second-degree assault charge Sunday for allegedy punching teammate Brett Arcand-Kootenay in the team's locker room.
Arcand-Kootenay had surgery Monday to repair a broken jaw after the incident, which, according to police reports cited by the Anchorage Daily News was tied to an argument about a training run.
Green, 22, a senior defenseman who is in his second season as the Seawolves' captain, made an initial court appearance on Monday, the newspaper reported, but remained jailed pending another appearance Tuesday and a bail hearing on Wednesday.
According to a police report, Arcand-Kootenay, a 21-year-old sophomore, and Green were involved in a dispute at 9 a.m. Sunday. The report, as quoted by the Daily News said:
"According to Arcand-Kootenay, Green demanded to know where Arcand-Kootenay had been that morning when he was supposed to have shown for an early morning team run. Arcand-Kootenay said that before he could respond, Green 'sucker punched' him in the jaw, knocking him to the ground. Once on the ground, Green again struck Arcand-Kootenay in the back.'"
Arcand-Kootenay told police he arrived for the training but left when Green wasn't there, the newspaper reported.
When police called Green, he said he hit Arcand-Kootenay because he wanted to "make a point," according to the charges. Green said he was "sick of" his teammate because he was "causing problems" for the team, the charges read.
UAA athletic director Steve Cobb announced Green's suspension Monday. The school is investigating the incident and will make a decision on Green's future "at an appropriate time in the near future," a statement released by the school read.
"We are disturbed that such a regrettable incident has occurred between two of our student-athletes," Cobb said. "I have been in communication with the families of both players, and everyone involved is concerned with the interests of both young men."

Paddy Power: Barcelona v City
- 11 March 2014 16:00
- Posted by @MCFC
All the best odds from Paddy Power ahead of City's Champions League clash with Barcelona...
For ALL Barcelona v City markets and to avail of a FREE £20 BET if you are a New Customer, please check out Paddy Power.
Goalscorer Markets
Trailing Barcelona 2-0 after the first leg, Manuel Pellegrini will be happy to have his top goalscorer back fit. Sergio Aguero may not have scored against Wigan but getting a full game under his belt is a massive plus ahead of the trip to Spain. Aguero is well priced at 7/1 to score first and 15/8 to score anytime. If he does score in 90 minutes Paddy Power will refund losing correct score and goalscorer bets on this game. Essentially what that means is you can back Aguero to score first knowing you have the safety net that if he fails but scores later in the game you'll get your money back.
Alvaro Negredo has scored five goals in seven European outings this season. He also scored against Barcelona when playing for Seville in La Liga last season. The Spaniard is 10/1 to score first and 3/1 to score anytime.
City win and correct score markets
Barcelona come into this game having lost two of their last three games. The reigning Spanish champions are struggling for top form and a City win at 9/2 is very much on the cards. City will need to win 2-0 at 30/1 to force extra-time with a 3-1 win at 40/1 giving them the win on away goals.
If you can't pick a correct score but you do fancy a goalscorer then the wincast offers an alternative. Manchester City to win and Sergio Aguero to score anytime pays out at 15/2. Switch Yaya Toure in for Aguero and that price jumps to 12/1.

Talking of nationalisation in a diplomatic and sugar-coated manner..the fact of the matter is that government will retain ownership...is'nt that nationlaisation.
The state-owned companies will do business directly with the government and most likely compete with the private sector.
In its policy discussion papers the ANC has provided more details about its plans to use Post Bank as state bank and also establish a publishing enterprise and a pharmaceutical company, with the government as a controlling shareholder. A state-owned mining company has been established.
The discussion papers, due for release on Monday, state that the postal infrastructure and Post Bank are needed by government to deliver services to the people.
"As such, ownership of the post office and the Post Bank by government should be linked to efforts to ensure that the two institutions are sustainable."
The party says in its papers that a state bank should not only be defined in terms of ownership, but in terms of the services that are delivered by Post Bank.
"To achieve this the government should introduce policy guidelines to direct opportunities to the Post Bank as a bank of first choice of government and a primary platform for government and citizens' transaction," the paper states.
If implemented, the proposal could see major banks losing the accounts of government entities.
The ANC also wants to establish a state-owned publishing enterprise which will help with production and distribution of books to ensure their availability in all learning places.
The documents raise concerns that methods and practice of acquisition from the private sector plus distribution in government were neither cost-effective nor efficient.
The documents give more details about the plans to establish a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant that will see government producing medicine.
The ANC, however, acknowledges its plans can be sabotaged by a lack of skilled employes in the government.
"Good implementation will require that we build state capacity, establishing high standards of employment in the public service, raise levels of professionalism, discipline and a commitment to serve," the party said.
Talking of nationalisation in a diplomatic and sugar-coated manner..the fact of the matter is that government will retain ownership...is'nt that nationlaisation.
Seem to rememper R30 billion dissapeared from the Land Bank in one year.
do not criticize nationalised industry, do not forget that GoldmanSachs supported the invasion of Libya because of the BANK, the private interests are the cause of the western failures, with high risk "instruments" , well, a pneumatic jackhammer is not suitable for watchmaking, likewise a sewing kit is not suitable for road-building.
APARTHEID was controlled by private interests(Oppenheim), NATIONALISATION is GOOD for the people, and there is not such a lack of workforce, they are merely caught up in the rat-race, chasing a new car and a new flat. lets not make the Afrikan Dream like the Amerikan Dream, with a BLACK MAN spending a years salary on a DIAMOND EARRING!!!
these western corporate interests have money, they control the supply chain, from source(upstream) to the jewlery shops(downstream),
these foreign interests are subverting the ZA PEOPLE!!
are you referring to the financial fraud witch involved South African Lady Tina Green?
you meanie LandsBankim?
Someone needs to shoot de beers Oppenheimer and push him off BEIT BRIDGE!
@ Belo,DisEnchanted,Blackstone.lebs and Fred55 You're all correct!
@ Tasto, Patra, JD Majona and Papage. Have you not yet learned that your beloved Julian has satisfactorily demonstrated, over the past six years, to South Africans as well as the international community that he sorely lacks the intelligence and skills to hold any public office and that he make no effort to learn from those who would guide him.
He has now worked hard to place himself in the same category as those other motor-mouths - Eugene Terreblanche, Fidel Castro and Adolf Hitler and has succeeded. An empty pot makes the most noise!
Learn that an ability to speechify for hours on end is not indicative of a democratic leader's leadership ability or of his/her understanding of complex issues and any professional analysis of current so-called economic theories of the ANCYL will confirm this. Please wake yourselves up!
Considering the FACT that the ANC is struggling to make other state run enterprises work. How do you think they will do with a few more.
Or is it a case or just creating more ways to steal from the people.
From you OrangeConcentrate coz your one of the people
i don't see anything wrong with the government setting up it's own businesses, as long as it competes with other businesses within the same rules it's not nationalization, it's merely state enterprise, i would prefer if they focus more on new types of businesses though, something that can be exported so we can get money from outside coming in, like the manufacturing of solar panels for example, or something cuttiing edge like that. Or even food production, 7 billion people on the planat and growing strongly food is gonna become an issue in our lifetime, especially if the oil runs out...
Very optimistic people!. Talk of bloated egos!. The govt is not capable of managing the government departments how in h.ell will they manage industries that require skills?.
Laughable..how can they try more state owed enterpriseswhilst the ones they have already are a complete mess..and as for the Post Bank..I should think anyone sensible will be bit weary to start investing in a bank who just got robbed over 40million through laxed IT security..where is the risk assessment here.
Forgive me if I am wrong but Alexcor (state mining co) is losing money. Post office just had 24 million stolen from it because IT security systems were not secure, Escom is a disaster and so is transnet.
Now the ANC wants to open more state owned companies when they can't organise a p1ss up in a brewery!
The sad part is that they don't have any shame, they just want to steal from the people and bankrupt more entities. More people who is going to sit without salaries and more people on state handouts for which the middle class and poor have to pay.
Unfortunately there is to many blind sheep who sees this as a positive, they have no business sense and does not understand where their salaries are coming from, they think it is magically transferred every month and the company they are working for do not need to show profits to be able to do this.

Shiny Smooth Hair!!Having damaged hair, I am always on the lookout for hydrating, frizz fighting hair masks that have the power to bring my hair back to life. I shampooed and lightly patted my hair dry, and evenly distributed this throughout my hair and let it sit for about 15 minutes before washing it out. The first thing I noticed when I stepped out of the shower was how shiny and super vibrant my black hair looked. This product made my hair extremely shiny, silky, and made my hair look very vibrant! It definitely smoothed my hair shaft and locked in all the moisture and shine. One con for me is the smell. I love great smelling hair products and this one smells kinda like a creamy lotion. I like fruity and floral smells in my hair so I do wish it would have had a better fragrance. I do love the product though, and have been using it quite often. I would recommend this to anyone who has frizzy or damaged hair or to anyone looking to make their hair super shiny and silky!

YOUNGSTOWN — The murder trial of Paul Brown of Youngstown has ended in a mistrial after a Mahoning County Common Pleas Court judge determined that Youngstown police had not supplied evidence to the prosecution and defense.
Judge Maureen Sweeney granted the mistrial at 11:30 a.m. today. A new court date has not been set.
Brown was on trial for the murder of 17-year-old Ashten Jackson in 2009.
For the complete story, read Tuesday's Vindicator and Vindy.com
WOW, this surprises me, someone posting on Vindi.com doesn't have a clue what they're talking about. As I read this article, it's clear all she did is declare a mistrial because the YPD did not turn over evidence to the Prosecutor's Office or defense lawyer. A mistrial doesn't mean anyone has been set free. It simply means that this trial has ended and Mr. Brown will now have another jury trial where he will face these charges. Hence, the line that a new court date "has not been set." You should get your facts straight before posting.
Kudos to mrbluesman !!!!!

Dean & St. Mary's and WISC-TV as we help kids and families create a recipe for health.
Home > Wellness > Time4Kids > Bullying > Bad Blood: Bullying by the Numbers
Bullying. It's a topic that's everywhere these days, but is it really as prevalent as the news makes it sound?
Yes it is. In fact, research shows that a majority of kids in middle school are bullied, and that the effects of bullying are lifelong.
Dr. F. Bradford Meyers, a Family Medicine physician at Dean Clinic, says these somewhat surprising statistics highlight the negative impact bullying has on students and our community:
Beyond these startling statistics is the more frightening and concerning relationship between bullying and crime, homicide and school shootings:
Dr. Meyers stresses that battling bullying is a job for everyone, not just teachers.
"We must intervene in order to work toward safer schools and more enriching learning environments for our patients and our children," says Dr. Meyers.
How can you help? Here are four things parents, teachers and other adults can do:
With proper education, it is possible to make a positive impact on the lives of many children.

The MOU will enable the two research institutions to undertake joint research projects aimed at, among other things, strengthening capacity for research and management of trees in tea farms and estates.
The project is aimed at finding solutions to a number of weather and environmental problems that have plagued the tea industry in the last two years, namely drought, hail and frost. In a joint press statement, the directors of TRFK and KEFRI, Jeremiah Rutto and Dr. Paul Konuche respectively, say the problems facing tea farming arise out of change in land use - from forest to agriculture.
Change in land use, they say, has resulted in unpredictable weather patterns and decline in water catchments due to rapid deforestation, which has recently led to severe drought and frost that has affected tea production this past year.
The research and development project also aims at finding suitable shade trees for tea bushes and adequate and sustainable fuel wood for farmers in tea growing areas.
The initial research will focus on the following: developing tree species which can be interplanted with tea to improve micro-climate; creating a better understanding of the role of forests and catchment areas in regulating climate; sensitizing policy makers on the importance of sustaining a proper forest/agriculture interface balance; and diversifying wood fuel species and enhancing production in tea growing areas.
Last year, tea production fell sharply following the effects of drought, which was blamed on the dry La Nina weather phenomenon, hail and frost. Researchers link the unfavorable weather to forest destruction in the catchment areas adjoining tea growing regions.
Due to falling international prices, Guatemala has been doing everything from using the worst of the harvest for fuel to selling the best direct to vendors through a record-breaking internet auction.
Although Guatemala, the world's fifth biggest exporter, produces some of the best coffee in the world, its inhabitants prefer to mix it with maize and other material.
Anacafé, a partnership between government and the private sector, has launched a national coffee association to persuade Guatemala's 12 million people to drink more coffee of better quality. Billboards and television advertisements have promoted pure coffee and supermarkets have hosted taste tests.
Anacafé has taken other measures: it has signed a contract with a local cement company to burn coffee as fuel for its furnaces, but says it remains a pilot project. There are problems with fuel efficiency. Also, in June it offered the country's 15 best coffees at an internet auction that achieved record prices.
The combination of measures needs to take effect soon. Export income, which amounted to $598m in the export year to September 2000, is expected to be halved this year for an industry that supports 300,000 full-time and 400,000 seasonal workers.
Forbes and Walker say the online auctions will start within weeks, but foreigners will not be eligible to take part.
Tea trading is normally restricted to public weekly auctions, which make Colombo the world's biggest tea trading center.
About 10% of Sri Lanka's tea can be sold through private channels, which is the area Forbes is aiming to tap.
"We are not trying to undermine the existing system," chairman Chrisantha Perera says.
"We are giving greater exposure to the private sellers to attract the best possible price."
The objectives of the contest are the following: to promote the campaign, "Cafés do Brasil" by demonstrating Brazil's capacity to produce coffee of exceptional quality to international markets; to develop a system of identifying the origin of specialty coffees similar to the marketing of wines; and to develop new channels of marketing that will make possible the direct contact between producers and roasters through the internet.
The samples submitted will be classified by a panel of Brazilian experts and reduced to 50 finalists. The selected final lots will then be judged by a commission of International experts presided by George Howel, consultant. Depending on the level of quality of the coffees presented, the international panel will select up to 30 lots for sale by International auction on the internet.
Last year's auction in December succeeded in selling 18 lots of the 477 samples submitted and obtaining an average premium of us$102 per bag over the going market.
The Brazilian Specialty Coffee Contest is also supported through a partnership arrangement with the Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) and the Specialty Coffee Association of Europe (SCAE). The export of the coffees negotiated, including documentation, transport and shipment quality control will be handled, as in the past, by COOXUPÉ, the Guaxupé Coffee growers Cooperative. - By Harry C. Jones
After considering the fuel that goes into the trucks and ships that transport the coffee, the propane that heats the roasters, and even the electricity used to run lights and computers, Maryland-based Trees for the Future determined that Thanksgiving Coffee was adding 553 tons of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere annually. In addition, they even calculated the amount of carbon dioxide that is released when Thanksgiving's customers brew their coffee - a whopping 1,000 tons. To offset that impact, the coffee roaster is partnering with Trees for the Future to plant an estimated 69,000 trees in the East African nation of Ethiopia, where some of the world's best coffee is produced.
Trees reduce global warming through photosynthesis, by taking in carbon dioxide and letting out oxygen into the atmosphere. As part of their natural growth process, plants take carbon out of the atmosphere and put it back in the soil and biomass.
"We recognize that true sustainability means not causing any harm, so we are continually taking steps to reduce our waste emissions at the source," says Thanksgiving c.e.o. Paul Katzeff. "We know that we cannot make up for the full environmental impacts of our operations," Katzeff added, "but we believe that this project will help offset our carbon emissions and have a beneficial effect on the lives of thousands of Ethiopian families."
At a cost of $90 per acre, Thanksgiving Coffee will fund the planting of 21,000 trees the first year. The project will work with a local organization called Beam of Hope, in an area about 80 miles southwest of Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa. The majority of the money will go to train local leaders in agroforestry techniques.

Attempted solution:
The real problem I'm having is that I cant see the $\sigma$-field of $(X,Y)$. I believe I have everything for $X$ and $Y$ as follows:
$\sigma(X(\omega))=\{\emptyset,\Omega,\left\{{a,b}\right\},\left\{c,d\right\} \}$
Showing the probabilities agree is easy enough, so no need to type it here. For the CDFs, I have:
$F_1(X) = F_2(X)= \begin{cases} 0 & \text{for }x < 2 \\ \frac{1}{2} &\text{for } 2 \leqslant x < 3 \\ 1 &\text{for } x \geqslant 3 \end{cases}$
and similarly for $Y$.
So, how do I handle $(X,Y)$? I know that the $\sigma$-field must be a subset of the space, but with $2$ random variables, I can't seem to make sense of it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The Goodwood Festival of Speed unveiled its new Central Feature courtesy of Mercedes-Benz on Thursday, June 26, to the delight of the gathered crowd. According to Goodwood via press release on Friday, June 27, Lord March said this year's feature is the "most architecturally and artistically challenging sculpture that we've ever had at Goodwood."
The sculpture soars 85 feet (26 meters) over Goodwood House. Weighing 160 tons and nearly an American football-field length long (90 meters), the feature was unveiled by both Goodwood's Lord March and Head of Mercedes-Benz Classic, Michael Bock.
Created by artist Gerry Judah, Goodwood says "the sculpture is the most complex and ambitious yet conceived at Goodwood and is a fitting celebration of 120 years of motorsport participation by Mercedes-Benz."
Swooping over Goodwood House, the curve – which spans 50 yards (45 meters) – tested the artistic and engineering ingenuity of the team of specialists assigned to making Gerry Judah's concept a reality.
Two cars spanning 80 years form an integral part of the sculpture – a replica of the 1934 Mercedes-Benz W 25 Silver Arrow of the kind raced by Manfred von Brauchitsch to victory at the Nurburgring Nordschleife and a MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS F1 W04, the same chassis raced by Lewis Hamilton in 15 Grand Prix in 2013.
The newer race car forms a part of recent racing history in its own right. It took Mercedes Formula 1 driver and Brit, Lewis Hamilton, to five pole positions and to victory at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Mercedes-Benz's Michael Bock commented, "The sculpture goes beyond my wildest expectations. It's truly amazing and an apt focal point for what promises to be a vibrant celebration of the most thrilling, most charismatic and most beautiful racing machines ever created. Our support of the Festival of Speed is stronger than ever this year as we celebrate 120 years since Daimler-powered cars won the first motorsport events in 1894. These tentative first steps set us on a course that's led us to where we are today – here's to the next 120 years of thriving competition, both on and off the track."
In unveiling the sculpture, Lord March commented, "This year's Central Feature is the most architecturally and artistically challenging sculpture that we've ever had at Goodwood and it's a testament to the out-of-the-box thinking of Gerry Judah, which is very much aligned with our philosophy of constant innovation around the Festival of Speed. The result is a truly
spectacular sight for all our Festival of Speed visitors to view"
The unveiling was accompanied by an evening fireworks show and a fleet of Mercedes-Benz road and race cars making a dramatic run up the Goodwood Hill as the sun set.
A century-old Mercedes Grand Prix car, an SSK from 1928, the "mighty" W 196 R from 1955 and a "fire-breathing" Sauber-Mercedes C9 from 1989 joined by a SLS AMG Black Series, emerged from the darkness with glowing bodywork for the occasion, according to the estate.
All five cars were joined by an array of iconic Mercedes-Benz cars from over the decades.
Track action at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed begins on Friday. The entire festival runs through Sunday, June 29.

HOMESTEAD RECORD: His 11th-place finish last year was his best finish in 12 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Earnhardt said, "Homestead has turned into a really good race track. We are able to move all over the track and look for speed in different places. The cars seem to respond to that. The track is very unique even though it looks quite simple. It is really a challenge. Both corners are very different from each other and require the cars to handle differently in each corner. It is a fun place to race."
LOOKING BACK: It was a long, long day for Earnhardt as he battled an ill-handling race car all afternoon. "We just never could find the handle today," said Earnhardt, who finished 21st, a lap down. "We tried a lot of different things, but nothing seemed to really help. It was just one of those days that you have some time."
ETC.: Crew chief Steve Letarte feels the car the team is bringing to Homestead is a "winning one." Earnhardt drove the car to a fourth-place finish at Michigan in August. "It is just a good car, and one that Dale Junior really likes," said Letarte. "We really want to finish the season with a win."
18 KYLE BUSCH, Toyota
Team: Joe Gibbs Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 13th.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: Only one top-10 finish in seven starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Busch admits Homestead-Miami Speedway has not "been great to me. We've had a few races where our runs have been much better than the results have shown. We were running top-10 in 2011 before we got wrecked. I'm hoping we can have another strong car (like at Phoenix) and finish off the season strong. That would give us some momentum for the offseason and for next season."
LOOKING BACK: Busch dominated the race as he led four times for 237 laps. But he struggled on the two final restarts and ended the day in third place. Busch, naturally, wasn't too pleased with the final results. "Guys gave me an awesome car," said Busch. "Just gave it away at the end. Just didn't pick the right lane (on the next-to-last restart). It's my fault. Obviously, having a car that's the class of the field – you expect to win and you're supposed to win. We just basically handed the race on a silver platter to the 29 (Kevin Harvick)"
ETC: The team is optimistic that it will sign Busch to a contract extension during the off-season "I feel good that we'll get it all together," said J. D. Gibbs, president of Joe Gibbs Racing. "I'm not going to say anything official, but we feel good about it." Busch will be entering the final year of his contract in 2013. If he does not sign an extension this winter, several teams are expected to talk to Busch about 2014 and beyond.
39 RYAN NEWMAN, Chevrolet
Team: Stewart-Haas Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 14th, 82 points out of 13th place.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: Three top-10 finishes in 10 starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Newman said he had mixed feelings about Homestead being the last race of the season. "People ask me – family, friends, whoever – if I'm looking forward to the off season and I answer yes and no," said Newman. "Yes because my ultimate goal of winning the championship is not within grasp by any means. No because I am running out of races to try and get a pole and win another race. But I really enjoy the off season; I enjoy the 90-plus days or whatever it is of being able to spend time with family and the outdoors and hunting and a little bit of fishing."
LOOKING BACK: As Newman headed for the finish line his car was hit by another and sent spinning into the inside retaining wall. Newman was hit by several more cars as he crossed the finish line backwards. "Well, my car is junk," said Newman. "But that was a good run for our Quicken Loans/U.S Army Chevrolet. Matt (Borland, crew chief) made some good calls today, and the crew did a good job. I'm just really disappointed in the way NASCAR handled that last lap (by not throwing the caution flag). That was not fair to the drivers at all. I took a hard hit. So did several others, and I'm just glad everyone's OK."
ETC.: Newman has won at least one pole position in 11 straight years. "It's an important part of my career to keep that streak alive," said Newman. "We are not in the Shootout as of right now. We don't want to have to sit that race out (matching all the pole winners of 2012) when we get to Daytona in February. So our goal this week is pretty simple – win the pole and the race."
99 CARL EDWARDS, Ford
Team: Roush Fenway Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 15th, 93 points out of 13th place
HOMESTEAD RECORD: Edwards finished second last year after leading 119 laps. He won the event in 2008 and 2009. Has not finished worse than eighth in the last seven races.
LOOKING AHEAD: Edwards said, "It seems like every time we go there (Homestead-Miami Speedway) we have a car that could win. We need to finish this season out with a win for our Fastenal team, and go into 2013 the way we went into 2011 and go for the championship. There would be no better way to kick off the 2013 season than with a win at Homestead."
LOOKING BACK: Edwards summed up his day best when he said, "we were very fortunate to finish 11th because we just struggled all day. We hung on really hard to stay on the lead lap and that kind of saved our day. There at the end, I've never seen a finish like that – ever. It was just chaos."
ETC.: Edwards can't wait for the 2013 season to begin. "We're very excited about everything happening right now at Roush Fenway," said Edwards. "We've got a lot of things happening right now, and we're building the best team we can for next year. We believe we're going to be championship contenders again in 2013, just like we were in 2011."
27 PAUL MENARD, Chevrolet
Team: Richard Childress Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 16th, 118 points out of 13th place.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: His 16th-place finish a year ago is his best finish in six starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Menard said, "It's always bittersweet when the season ends. I feel like we have a lot left to accomplish, but it will be nice to have a restart for next year, too. Ultimately, you want to end the year on a high note to carry into the off season."
LOOKING BACK: Menard ran as high as second in the first 166 laps before running into handling problems during the middle portions of the race. But he rallied in the final 75 laps to finish ninth despite being involved in the last-lap accident. "We had a pretty solid Rheem/Menards Chevrolet throughout the first half of the race, but made the wrong decision on a couple of adjustments and lost track position," said Menard. "We were able to make it back into the top 10 before the checkered flag. It was a crazy end to the race. Want to thank the 27 team for a great car this weekend."
ETC.: Gil Martin, the crew chief on the winning car driven by Kevin Harvick, gave a lot of credit for Harvick's victory to Menard and crew chief Slugger Labbe. "I just want to say one thing – this victory is a big team deal thanks to Paul Menard and Slugger (Labbe, the crew chief on the 27 car)," said Martin in the post-race press conference. "We have started working together so hard here in the last month, and I want to put out a big thanks to those guys because they've done a great job as far as working teammates." Added Harvick, "halfway through practice we decided to put in everything on the 27 car, and that's really the way it's supposed to work. We put it in, and adjusted to my driving style."
20 JOEY LOGANO, Toyota
Team: Joe Gibbs Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 17th, 156 points out of 13th place.
HOMESTEAD RECORD: His best finish in three starts is 19th.
LOOKING AHEAD: Logano said, "Man, this is the end of an era this weekend at Homestead. It will be crazy to climb into that 20 car one last time on Sunday morning and know that it's the last time I will be behind the wheel of that car. It will be sad to leave them, but I will have lasting friendships with a lot of them. The best thing we can do this weekend is go out there and try to go out with a bang and give them a win in my last race in the Home Depot Toyota." Logano is moving to Penske Racing in 2013.
LOOKING BACK: Logano was running sixth with just over a lap to go when Jeff Gordon deliberated wrecked Clint Bowyer. Logano had nowhere to go as he slammed into the two spinning cars. As a result, Logano ended the day in 27th place. "There really isn't anything to say about that," said an angry Logano. "We had a top-five finish just taken away from us because another driver wanted to settle a score and didn't think about the other people that would get caught up in it. We had a good car. By the end of the day, we had it as good as it had been all day long. I just feel bad for my guys and Dollar General. They deserved a lot better."
ETC.: Logano was still livid after changing clothes. He went on his twitter account to express his displeasure with Gordon. "When I was young I thought Jeff Gordon was the best driver," tweeted Logano. "Now I've lost a lot of respect for him. Very dumb." A few hours later Logano tweeted "To all the 24 fans, I am not disrespecting a 4-time champ. A 4-time champ disrespected me today."
9 MARCOS AMBROSE, Ford

March 8, 2013
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - If only the Huskies' shooting matched their determination and grit.
One night after snoozing into a 22-point hole to last-place Oregon, Washington came out trading bangs and scraps with 18th-ranked Colorado Friday. They led by five early.
But the shooting for the fifth-seeded Huskies never even got lukewarm, resulting in a 70-59 loss to the fourth-seeded Buffaloes in the second round of the Pac-12 tournament at KeyArena.
Jazmine Davis scraped out 17 points despite 5-for-20 shooting and Talia Walton added 13, including a 3-pointer that had UW within four points with 45 seconds left. But Walton was 4 for 13, and Washington (20-11) shot just 28 percent overall.
The perspective and positive attitude the young Huskies showed in the locker room after their conference season ended was even more impressive then their tenacity during the game.
"Colorado has a very intense defense," said Davis, the relentless sophomore who refused to concede she was at all frustrated by her cold shooting. "Their man-to-man is just in you. They play almost street-ball defense.
"It's definitely tough to lose, but this loss will definitely make us hungry. ... I'm sure after tonight we'll be fine. We'll bounce back."
The Huskies, who in the regular-season had 11 conference wins - its most since 2007 - are likely awaiting a second-consecutive bid to the Women's National Invitation Tournament and perhaps multiple home games as top seed in that consolation tournament. They appear to lack the quality wins to make it to the NCAA tournament inside a conference that is likely to send four teams -- Stanford, California, UCLA, and Colorado -- to the bigger dance when that field is announced Monday.
"It's probably going to be a little discouraging if we don't see our name among the 64 teams selected for the NCAA tournament. But at the same time, I've never played in the WNIT," said senior captain Kristi Kingma, who was 2 for 8 for nine points after going 0 for 10 in Thursday's school-record rally past Oregon.
Kingma missed last spring's run deep into the WNIT because she missed the entire year because of reconstructive knee surgery. For her, that "other" tournament is a bonus, an extension of a Husky career she doesn't want to end.
"It's a stepping stone. It's something this program has to go through to get to where it wants to go," she said of the WNIT. "From now on, every game could be my last game. For me -- I don't know how anyone else feels -- I'm excited."
Colorado (25-5) advanced to Saturday night's second semifinal against Stanford. The tournament's top seed won its 18th consecutive league tournament game, 79-60 over Washington State, earlier Friday evening.
The Huskies trailed by 11 early in the second half, just as they did the previous night against Oregon. This time it was from sloppy ball handling and turnovers for easy CU scores. UW coach Kevin McGuff angrily called timeout and got on his Dawgs for the lack of intensity.
Walton responded with a timely 3, Kingma hit two free throws, and Davis completed a 3-point play on a bullish move inside. The 8-0 run got the Huskies back into the game, down 37-34 with 15:30 left. The Dawgs upped their grittiness from there, scrapping for loose balls and rebounds to stay within a half dozen points.
They couldn't get closer than four after that, though.
The Huskies had been regretting for two weeks not hitting free throws late in a seven-point loss to the Buffaloes in Boulder.
Friday night, they regretted not being able to extend their first-half lead while Colorado was scuffling around shooting airballs and bricks - some even at point-blank range - against the Huskies' constant switches between man-to-man and zone defenses. CU's shooting was in the low-20 percent range for most of the half, but the Huskies never led by more than six points.
When the Buffs inevitably warmed, Washington's lead vanished. The Huskies trailed 29-26 at the half, because it made just 9 of 30 shots. Davis missed seven of her first 10 tries. Walton missed four of her first six.
But true to this team's determined nature all season, the Dawgs kept gunnin' and scrappin', forcing two turnovers that led to 3-pointers from freshmen Heather Corral and from Walton. That instantly turn a 10-point deficit into just a four-point game inside the final minute.
"Oh, yeah, I was thinking, 'I've heard of teams scoring 13 points in a minute, and now we might see it,'" Davis said.
But CU's Chucky Jeffery got free inside for two of her game-high 19 points. Walton then missed a rushed 3 for UW. Davis gave the Huskies one last hope with a desperate steal from behind on a breakaway by Jeffery with 38 seconds to go, but Corral missed a 3-pointer from the left wing that could have cut the Buffs' lead down to 3 with 31 seconds to go. Jeffery's ensuing free throws clinched Colorado's hard-fought victory.
McGuff gave Colorado credit for its defense, but bemoaned his undersized and thin team's lack of rebounding at key moments. The much bigger Buffaloes had a whopping 58-36 edge on the glass, including 25-13 in offensive rebounds to negate defensive stops the Huskies were getting.
"They were just more physical and tougher around the basket," the second-year turnaround maestro at Washington said.
"We've got a lot of positive things going on. We need to stay focused right now. We are going to be playing more somewhere (this season). We've got some more opportunities to grow and get better."
The league announced a second-day crowd of 5,452, and it was again lively. In two days, this year's women's tournament has surpassed by about 2,000 fans what it attracted in four days last March at USC's Galen Center. That was before the Pac-12 struck a three-year deal to have its tournament moved to Seattle.

|Laura Day guards the ball during last year's exhibition game. See video clips of that match by clicking here.
Finger Lakes Community College faculty, staff and students will take on the Rochester Wheels wheelchair basketball team in an exhibition game, Wednesday, Oct. 12.
The game will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the FLCC gym at the back of the main campus, 3325 Marvin Sands Drive in Canandaigua. Parking is available near the gym. The event is free and open to the public.
The Rochester Wheels plays exhibition games, such as the one at FLCC, to make the point that those with a disability in one area have skills or expertise in another. The home team plays in wheelchairs, too.
Founded in 1971, the Rochester Wheels participates in the National Wheelchair Basketball Association's Keystone Conference, playing competitions and tournaments in New York City, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Wheelchair basketball is similar to able-bodied basketball as it's played on a standard basketball court with a 10-foot high basketball hoop. Scoring is the same as are the rules, although some rules are modified for wheelchairs, such as traveling.
For more information about the event, call Debbie Kenney, FLCC community affairs specialist, at (585) 785-1905.
For more information about the Rochester Wheels, contact Anita O'Brien at the Rochester Rehabilitation Center, (585) 271-1894 ext. 1742.

For a record considered to be just a warning shot, 50 Cent's "Piggy Bank" continues to have the largest ripple effect of any rap song this year. Last week Nas finally responded to the cut, and this week 50 issued a video mixtape that includes a full-length clip for the song.
The video is animated and starts with three boys walking down "Beaver Street" when one of them stops at an arcade. The kid is infatuated with a game called "Rapper Knockout," which stars 50 Cent as a ring king beating opponents to a pulp. The video then takes a look inside the video game as 50 squares off against Fat Joe. The animated Joe is afraid to go into the ring at first, and gets pummeled when he finally enters.
The same fate holds true for an animated Jadakiss, which Fif imagines dressed up like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle — complete with Raphael's red mask and a slice of pizza — wearing a belt with a buckle that says "Jada."
Later, 50 depicts Game as a Mr. Potato Head doll with a "Wanksta" headband and Cassidy as a young kid wearing a pink hoodie with "I'm a Hustler" embroidered on it. Cass gets punched in the stomach by two kids. In a separate scene, another kid is seen wearing Superman's tights and cape while running down the street. Instead of the Man of Steel's S, he has a red logo of Nas' name on his chest and is chasing a "Milkshake" truck before jumping at the vehicle and falling flat on his face.
|Images From 50 Cent's "Piggy Bank" Video
"Piggy Bank" is one of 21 videos slated to be included in a special-edition reissue of The Massacre, which is due on September 6 (see "50 Says He Doesn't Have Beef With Game" ). Fif has made a video for every song on his album (the original version of "Outta Control" will be replaced with the Mobb Deep remix) including "Gunz Come Out," in which plenty of heavy artillery will be brandished, and "In My Hood," which shows Fif waking through the neighborhood.
50 has a real video game called "Bulletproof," which has nothing to do with his rap beef, due on November 15. This coming Tuesday 50 will release his autobiography, "From Pieces to Weight." In the meantime, Fif continues to travel the country as part of the Anger Management 3 Tour (see "Eminem, 50, Lil Jon, G-Unit, D12 Team Up For Anger Management 3 Tour This Summer" ). He'll perform for the first time at Madison Square Garden in his hometown on Monday and Tuesday.
