One of the trends we saw through the end of 2010 — and one that is continuing in 2011 — is food prices inflation [3]. Food prices have been rising. From floods in Pakistan to drought in Russia to rising demand for food in emerging market countries, it seems as though higher food prices are inevitable. The USDA [4] reports that food prices increased 0.8% in 2010, and that they could rise 3% to 4% in 2011. That means you had better be ready for what's coming.
Among the foods expected to see an increase in 2011 are grains like wheat and corn. Wheat is used a great deal in cereal and other staples. Corn (or corn syrup) is used in a number of food items as well. On top of that, corn is used in livestock feed, and that means the cost of raising different animals for consumption is on the rise. Retail prices [5] for beef rose 10% between February 2010 and February 2011, and pork prices are up as well. While meat prices rose in 2010, they are expected to increase at a faster rate this year. Because of the increased cost of feed, and the fact that a rising middle class in China and India are looking to add more beef, pork and poultry to their meals, meat prices are expected to rise at a fairly rapid pace.
Dairy prices are creeping up as well. CNBC [6] recently reported on month over month inflation, finding that butter, coffee, potatoes and bread are also on the rise. Commodities in general are seeing an increase in price, and recent events can't be helping, especially in terms of global supply chains. Even produce is starting to catch up. According to some news outlets, lettuce has doubled [7] in the past few weeks, and other produce is rising as well.
What can you do?
Of course, with food prices rising, you need to be ready to come with strategies to help reduce your costs. Rising food prices can really affect your household budget, and you probably need to take action. There are some things you can do to help reduce your risk from food prices inflation:
- Stock up: Buy some items in bulk. We buy meat on sale and freeze it. Depending on the meet in question, it can last six months to a year in the freezer. There are many food staples [8] that can be frozen, bottled and bought by the case and stored. When something is on sale, buy more of it, and store it for use later. You can use a leftover calendar [9] to help you use up items.
- Grow your own: Consider which items you can grow in your garden [10]. Seeds — and even starter plants — are fairly inexpensive. You can grow your own produce, and eat fresh foods for less. You can use container gardens if you have limited space. If you have you have more space, and a bigger garden, you can bottle or freeze your produce. If you are feeling really adventurous, many towns will allow you to raise your own poultry. You can save by butchering your own chicken [11], even if you don't raise it.
- Less processing: Look for foods that aren't processed as much. While some foods might be cheap, there are a number of processed foods that cost more — and processed foods are likely to increase in price this year at any rate because many processed foods are made from corn. Plan your meals so that you can make more without relying on prepackaged foods. There are many 30-minute recipes, as well as slow cooker recipes, that can be used to help you prepare healthier meals when you have a tight schedule.
Food prices inflation is coming. With a little creativity, you can reduce your food costs, and protect yourself — at least a little.

Behrend men remain undefeated after Medaille match
- Behrend 3, Medaille 2: At Penn State Behrend, Peter Brower scored with less than 1 second left in overtime as Penn State Behrend won a thriller to stay unbeaten in the AMCC.

Refinancing can save you money, epecially when interest rates fall below your current mortgage loan interest rate.
What is refinancing?
Refinancing is when you pay off an existing mortgage with a new mortgage loan. Refinancing could save you thousands of dollars in interest payments or allow you to build equity in your home faster by paying the mortgage off in a shorter amount of time. When considering refinancing, you should consider how much you will save. If you can't foresee any substantial savings on your mortgage, then refinancing may not be right for you.
What to ask when deciding if refinancing is right for you:
Should I refinance my home mortgage?
Benefits of refinancing
Cost of refinancing
When considering refinancing, you need to keep in mind that you will have to pay many of the same fees and closing costs that you paid when financing your first mortgage.
Considering that lenders fees may vary widely, you should shop around and find the best deal for you. If you're trying to reduce your monthly payments, you should try to recover your refinancing cost within two years. For example, if your refinancing fees are $2,000, then after two years your savings in monthly payments should at least equal to $2,000.
Lender fees for refinancing
Beware of a prepayment penalty fee that may offset any savings you might gain. Before you refinance, check your current mortgage loan papers to see if you have a prepayment penalty provision and if it includes any fees.
Now that you have decided to refinance, the next step is to choose the type of loan that best suits you.

Throughout September, we answered RuneScape's biggest questions through 4 Q&A Live Streams. The most recent Q&A was all about the future of RuneScape, in which Mod Mark told us about not one, but two new skills. RuneFest 2013 was also discussed, and - perhaps most tantalising of all -I asked the guys about what comes after RuneScape. If you didn't see it, get comfortable and press 'play' on the video below.
The 4 Q&As were just the start of our RuneScape Live Streams. Right now, we're busy scheduling a veritable smorgasbord of live streams, featuring in-game sessions, quizzes, community opinion and - yes - more opportunities for you to put your most important questions to RuneScape's J-Mods.
Before we schedule in the next Q&A stream, we need to know what subjects you would like to see covered. We've talked about micropayments, bots, the Evolution of Combat and the future of RuneScape, but what else is on your mind? What's the next big topic? What teams would you like to see sat on the sofa?
Let us know on the dedicated thread so we can collect your ideas and suggestions together, to make the best Q&A Live Stream schedule that we can.
See you there!

STH-32: Red Arrow Highway
STH-32 throughout Wisconsin is also designated the "32nd Division Memorial Highway," commemorating the 32nd Division for obvious 'numerical' reasons. The 32nd Division, formed on July 18, 1917 of National Guard troops from Wisconsin and Michigan, fought and won many difficult battles, especially in World War I. In an excellent historical essay, The Detroit News reports "the unit won fame under three names: Officially it was the 32nd Division; to the people of Michigan and Wisconsin it was the Red Arrow Division, and to the French who fought alongside these mid-western Americans, they were known as 'Les Terribles." Additionally, the essay touts the following statistics:
In order to honor those men who fought as a part of the 32nd Division, thousands of whom never returned to Wisconsin, STH-32 was designated in honor of them, and the division's logo, the 'red arrow,' is placed on each and every STH-32 sign in the state, from Illinois to Michigan. (Michael Koerner notes, though, that WisDOT does not place the red arrows on freeway guide signs. They only appear on standalone route markers.)
The specific Wisconsin Statute designating the "32nd Division Memorial Highway" is as follows:

Tiger Has Back Surgery; Withdraws from Masters
Tiger Woods won't be vying for his fifth green jacket in two weeks. The game's No. 1-ranked player announced on Tuesday that he won't be playing in the 2014 Masters after undergoing surgery on his back for a pinched nerve.
"After attempting to get ready for the Masters, and failing to make the necessary progress, I decided, in consultation with my doctors, to have this procedure done," Woods said on his website.
"I'd like to express my disappointment to the Augusta National membership, staff, volunteers and patrons that I will not be at the Masters. It's a week that's very special to me. It also looks like I'll be forced to miss several upcoming tournaments to focus on my rehabilitation and getting healthy."
Woods has played in the every Masters since 1995 (as an amateur), winning it in 1997 (his first of 14 major titles), 2001, '02 and '05.
"This is frustrating, but it's something my doctors advised me to do for my immediate and long-term health," he added in the statement (http://www.tigerwoods.com/news/2014/04/01/70599322/tiger-unable-to-play-in-the-masters-after-successful-microdiscectomy/).
"It's tough right now, but I'm absolutely optimistic about the future. There are a couple [of] records by two outstanding individuals and players that I hope one day to break. As I've said many times, Sam Snead) and Jack (Nicklaus) reached their milestones over an entire career. I plan to have a lot of years left in mine."
The microdiscectomy procedure was performed Monday by neurosurgeon Dr. Charles Rich in Park City, Utah. The statement said Woods will begin "intensive rehabilitation and soft-tissue treatment" within a week.
Woods hopes to return to competition by this summer, which probably puts his participation in the U.S. Open in mid-June at Pinehurst No. 2 in doubt.
"Tiger was gracious in keeping us updated of his condition and making us aware of his decision," Masters chairman Billy Payne said in a statement. "We wholeheartedly offered our best wishes for his immediate and long-term recovery. ... He is one of our most decorated champions and we look forward to his healthy return in 2015 and beyond."
Woods began suffering back spasms last fall. They resurfaced in March at the Honda Classic, where he withdrew after completing 63 holes because of the pain. The following week in the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral his back was again troublesome, leading to a 78 on Sunday, Woods' highest final-round score as a pro.
He then withdrew from the Arnold Palmer Invitation, where he had won eight times, because of the injury.

The selection of a new pope begins Tuesday in Vatican City, as 115 cardinals lock themselves inside the Sistine Chapel to select the spiritual leader of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics. There is no obvious favorite to replace Benedict XVI, who resigned last month.
The cardinals likely will vote once Tuesday afternoon, and a two-thirds majority is required to elect a new pope. After the first day, there are two ballots each morning and two each afternoon until a pope is elected. Smoke will emerge from the chimney at the end of the morning session (about 7 a.m., Eastern time) and again at the end of the afternoon session (about 2 p.m., Eastern time). White smoke signifies the selection of a new pope. The latest updates from the Vatican will appear below:

2012's Top 10 Country Albums
This year's swath of country albums were a diverse collection of contemporary pop, new rough-edged sounds and throwbacks to the genre's roots. Mega releases from the biggest stars filled country radio and vied with underrated albums from new artists and legends. All this made picking a list of the Top 10 albums difficult in spots (I hated having to leave off Lee Brice's "Hard 2 Love") and easy in others (Dwight Yoakam was an obvious number one).

What Would You Do? Strangers React to Seeing a Shivering, Coatless Child [VIDEO]Monica Bielanko

We have the Norwegian branch of the SOS Children's Village International charity to thank for this latest viral social experiment. Created to raise awareness for displaced children in Syria, it's part of a campaign to provide them with warm clothing, according to Norway's The Nordic Page.
The video shows 11-year-old Johannes waiting at a bus stop in Oslo, Norway. Johannes is sitting there, without a jacket and shivering as various strangers sit down next to him. But how many of them would actually give him the coat off their back? Just watch and see.

Various atheros chipset Cardbus cards work for wifi. The atheros
chipset has (at least as far as I know) the best support for encryption.
Specifically, the atheros driver for Solaris (at least Express) has
WPA (personal) support where the other drivers only have WEP.

MiniPCI is different - your Dell may actually have a miniPCI slot and
probably has wifi antennas. On many notebooks, the miniPCI slot is
available for an end user to put a card in (or take one out). You
may have an ethernet miniPCI card or a modem or something else. On an
older IBM T43p notebook, the wifi card is a miniPCI card and for the
model I have you can get either an Intel 2915abg or an IBM abg (atheros
chipset) miniPCI card.
I also have an IBM branded Cardbus abg wifi card based on an atheros
chipset. That card is probably not available any longer but it "just
works" with the ath driver supplied in the latest versions of Solaris
Express (I've used it with various versions including snv_69 which I
recently updated to). If you look on the opensolaris wireless page for
ath, you can find some supported devices that are Cardbus. If you use
a recent version of Express, a usable Cardbus driver is also included.

I don't have any recommendations for such a device. I would check to
see if your Dell has a miniPCI slot. If it does and you don't need
whatever is there and there are antenna cables and antennas, get an
atheros chipset miniPCI card, attach the antennas, install Solaris
Express, and you should be able to use wifi with encryption including
WPA personal. I don't know if/when WPA2 and enterprise encryption are
coming but I hope so. Things are improving :-)

Jackson Pollock: Dripping with Controversy
Richard Ranft, owner of Beloit Auction & Realty, holds a possible Jackson Pollock painting that is being auctioned by his business today. Other items awaiting auction fill the display areas in the background. There is no reserve or minimum bid, so it's unclear how high a bid the painting may bring.
He made his "drip" method of swriling and splashing paint onto giant canvases stretched out on the floor look easy.
But it's not.
Which is why the mystery that's arisen in recent days is so interesting. You may have noticed from today's front page that what may be a small study for one of those larger works is going up for auction in Beloit this evening.
Our headline asks, should these ribbons of paint go on a gallery wall or in the garbage?
The petite Pollock, to be auctioned by a family-run outfit more accustomed to selling mementos than masterpieces, has not been authenticated. I personally haven't seen the painting, though you can view a video online thanks to WMTV in Madison.
In this 1949 photograph by Martha Holmes supplied by LIFE magazine, artist Jackson Pollock drops paint onto canvas at his studio in the Long Island hamlet of Springs, N.Y. Known for her signature pictures of famous people, Holmes died at age 83 at home in Manhattan on Sept. 19, 2006.
Pollock's violently flung paint sits on the canvas like a web of strings. If you could pluck up one individual line of paint, it seems the entire snarl of them, woven in and through the others, would come up with it. It's a quality that gives the artworks a sense of space and depth.
And yet, as unique as his work is, being able to say, for certain, that a painting without a clear provenance is by him is a remarkably tricky business, too.
Case in point. Meg and I both tried in earnest to get Pollock experts on the line yesterday to ask them about the telling characteristics of a Pollock, the signatures that might be present in an authentic Pollock work.
No one was talking. I got an email with red lettering from one expert saying, she just couldn't touch this and that she was sorry. The Joan Washburn Gallery in New York, which is a premiere dealer for Pollocks, said, um, well "Everyone's at lunch."
Ed Harris duplicating Pollock's dripping technique for the movie "Pollock." Harris wrote about his experience of mimicing the artist in the forward to the book "Such Desperate Joy: Imagining Jackson Pollock" (Thunder's Mouth Press, 2000): "The years I spent reading and thinking and feeling about Pollock . . . I had to trust that time, and trust that something had seeped into my bones . . . . The most challenging part of all of this was . . .keeping my focus on creating my own art, not recreating someone else

A Florida Highway Patrol trooper will not face charges in a shooting last year during a traffic stop, officials said Tuesday.
A grand jury has cleared Joshua Evans, who in November joined the pursuit of David Bachelor.

Bachelor allegedly fought with officers after a traffic stop and fled the scene.
Evans said Bachelor slammed his arm in a door, so he fired his gun.

The Porter Hypothesis at 20: Can Environmental Regulation Enhance Innovation and Competitiveness?

Twenty years ago, Harvard Business School economist and strategy professor Michael Porter stood conventional wisdom about the impact of environmental regulation on business on its head by declaring that well designed regulation could actually enhance competitiveness. The traditional view of environmental regulation held by virtually all economists until that time was that requiring firms to reduce an externality like pollution necessarily restricted their options and thus by definition reduced their profits. After all, if there are profitable opportunities to reduce pollution, profit maximizing firms would already be taking advantage of those opportunities. Over the past 20 years, much has been written about what has since become known simply as the Porter Hypothesis ("PH"). Yet, even today, there is conflicting evidence, alternative theories that might explain the PH, and oftentimes a misunderstanding of what the PH does and does not say. This paper provides an overview of the key theoretical and empirical insights on the PH to date, draw policy implications from these insights, and sketches out major research themes going forward.

MBA in International Business Management
Earning your MBA in International Business Management at Lynn will get you more than just a graduate-level business degree.
Yes, you'll gain the business and management skills that an MBA assumes—but you'll also gain an added specialization in the area of your choice.
The business landscape is becoming more interconnected with each passing day. Because of that, every businessperson needs to be an expert in cross-cultural communication and the leadership it takes to be effective. At Lynn, you can gain all of the knowledge and experience you need to excel anywhere in the world.
Your professors will teach from personal experience in the field, providing you with details regarding top methods in business plan development, international expansion and managing global resources. Class discussions will be internationally authentic, too—Lynn is ranked for having one of the most diverse populations of a school its size, so you can pick up on various cultures just by sitting in the classroom.
Sometimes, though, it's easiest to learn hands-on. That's why we offer international business study abroad opportunities, providing Lynn students the chance to travel to major business hubs in China, where you can really experience and learn from an international business culture first hand.
The specialization in international business management will add to the management skills you've already gained through personal experience and your undergraduate studies. You'll take detailed courses that examine every financial aspect of international business, with an emphasis on cultural and regional business standards.
In fact, the global exposure you'll gain at Lynn will be a great addition to your MBA. About 25 percent of our students are international, from countries outside of the U.S., so we can guarantee that you'll gain experience working with various cultures and nationalities.

Prudden and his collaborators have consistently shown an acceleration of wound healing in normal rats by the topical application of digested bovine cartilage powder, or by the subcutaneous implantation of cartilage pellets at a distance from the wound.9 Prior work in our laboratory has shown that the healing of sutured incised wounds is impaired in animals with alloxan diabetes, and that this impairment may be partially or completely corrected by adequate control of the diabetic state.11,12
It seemed appropriate, therefore, to determine whether or not locally applied bovine cartilage powder would correct the healing defect in poorly controlled diabetic animals.
Male albino Wistar rats weighing from 150 to 200 gm were used. The normal blood sugar values in this strain range from 65 to 120 mg%. Diabetes was induced in animals which had been fasting for 48 hours by intraperitoneal injection of alloxan (150 mg/kg), one hour

It will be a great day and a super way to party when the popular preschool music group and Nick Jr. TV stars "The Fresh Beat Band" perform at the Community Arts Center, 220 W. Fourth St.
Performances will be at 3 and 6:30 p.m. March 18 - and fans of the show are sure to "Go Bananas!"
The Fresh Beat Band hit the road in February for the first time ever on a 15-week nationwide concert tour that includes several stops in Pennsylvania.
Article Photos
The "Beats" are a musical group comprised of Kiki (Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer), Shout (Thomas Hobson), Marina (Tara Perry), and Twist (Jon Beavers), who will perform the group's hits from all three seasons of the live-action music series that teaches preschoolers about music appreciation and how to express their feelings through movement, song and instrumental music.
Twist the DJ plays the turntables and beatboxes; Marina plays the drums; Shout plays the keyboard or accordion; and Kiki plays the guitar, violin or fiddle, depending on the music style featured in the episode. All the characters dance and sing.
Each episode begins with a song that foreshadows a problem that the band will solve. Then, the band works together to solve the problem. When the problem is solved, the band performs a song with the problem and solution incorporated into the lyrics. Each episode then ends with the closing song, "Great Day."
Gonzalez-Nacer said the audition process was a lot of fun, because aside from the singing, acting and dancing portion, she got to play guitar, piano and violin for the producers, so it was like a mini concert.
"Kiki is the eternal optimist and so much fun and it's great to get to do everything I love in one show," she said, adding that her favorite Fresh Beat song is one of the group's latest singles, "A Friend Like You."
She and Hobson said each episode takes one week to film, including rehearsals, recording the music and two long shoot days.
"I am really happy that kids and parents like the show as much as they do," Gonzalez-Nacer said. "It is such a positive show and there are not very many shows for preschoolers that have actual human beings in it, so I think that is part of the appeal. I also believe that music and art are such an integral part of developing as a child, so it is wonderful to see that we are getting the opportunity to infuse this passion of music into kids at such a young age, and bringing them so much joy in the process."
Gonzalez-Nacer said she gets letters from girls and parents thanking her for being such a good role model.
"I feel really honored and blessed to have the opportunity to hopefully make a positive impact on our youth," she said.
Hobson also was not surprised the show is a hit with preschoolers.
"It's such an upbeat and fun show and it's made with love. Everyone who works on the show - from the creators to the actors to the crew - genuinely loves children and gets joy knowing that we are providing wholesome entertainment for them," he said. "I wish there had been a show like this for me to watch when I was a kid."
Gonzalez-Nacer and Hobson said the Fresh Beats are friends in real life and they recently went bowling together. Hobson said the band members are like brothers and sisters.
"I'm excited to head across America with them. We are making plans for all the sites we are going to see along the way," he said. "Tara and I are especially excited about visiting Harry Potter World in Orlando."
To prepare for the rigors of a live tour, Gonzalez-Nacer said she is running everyday, "because cardio is a really good way to build stamina." Hobson said he also is doing cardio to make sure he is in shape to perform every night and training vocally to make sure he can hit his high notes each night.
" 'Bananas' isn't the same without my big high note," he said with a laugh.
Gonzalez-Nacer and Hobson both agreed that the show's producers and writers do a great job of capitalizing on each band member's natural talents. Gonzalez-Nacer plays the fiddle and violin on the show and has studied music and dance in New York City and Miami; Hobson has a degree in theater from Yale University and has studied music and dance his whole life.
"It's amazing how much of my training I use on a daily basis making this show," Hobson said. "There are very few TV shows that let you use all of your talents at one time."
"I love so many different styles and instruments, but I think singing and violin are my favorite," Gonzalez-Nacer said. "I love pop, soul and jazz music."
Hobson said his favorite Fresh Beat episode is "Loco Legs," where his character was so excited about an upcoming performance that his legs went "loco."
"My audition script was for the 'Loco Legs' episode and once I read the script, I knew that I wanted to be Shout. I became obsessed with figuring out how to make my loco legs fun to watch for 22 minutes," he said. "And every audition I got closer and closer to figuring it out. In fact, if you watch my final audition tape, it is exactly like the filmed version of the show ... it was the first episode we ever filmed and I had so much fun coming up with all of the dance moves."
Hobson said his favorite songs on the show are both new songs from season three and produced by Peter Zizzo.
"They are called 'A Perfect Day' and 'Music (Music Keeps Me Moving)' - they are just fun, feel good songs," he said.
Some parents say the appeal of the show is how the band members work together to solve problems - and Hobson thinks he knows why.
"Twist and Shout definitely make a great team. They balance each other really well," he said. "The same is actually true in real life. Jon and I have a very Twist and Shout friendship in our everyday life."
"We always have so much fun when we perform and I think the audience can expect a lot of energy, great songs and a great time for the whole family," Gonzalez-Nacer said.
Hobson agreed: "The audience can expect a true Fresh Beat Band show! High energy. Great dance steps. And our best songs from all three seasons."
Tickets are $30, $35 and $42.50 with party packages starting at $122.50. The party package includes a meet and greet with the band. All ages are welcome, but everyone, including children, must have a ticket.

Ann Frommer of Chatham has recently co-authored her first novel, "Tailgunner."
Her first novel has been a lifelong dream. After reading Victor Merkel's first book, "Misery Mountain," Frommer and Merkel, former school mates, reconnected and a long distance friendship began. It was while she was living in Budapest, Merkel invited her to co-author his next book, "Tailgunner." Budapest seemed to be the appropriate setting for the research and creation of the "Ilona" character.
Frommer's father, Edgar Arner, a former private pilot whose barnstorming antics amused her also gave some colorful background to the story.
She and her Hungarian born husband, Robert, travel widely and live part of the time in Budapest.
Frommer, an RN with a successful healthcare management career, wrote and published multiple medical articles. She was the editor of a healthcare quality newsmagazine, "The Alert" which won national recognition. Ann studied liberal arts at Columbia, art at NYU and completed her bachelors and master's degrees at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison. When she is not writing, she is either traveling with her husband or exhibiting her photography of European Scenes in various New Jersey galleries.
The book can be purchased through Amazon.com.

Hip-hop heads, music geeks, bounce fanatics and twerkers unite this Saturday, October 26 at the freshly re-opened Civic Theatre when the Fourth Annual NOLA Underground Hip Hop Awards take over the space. Part awards show, part concert, the NOLA UHHA has rapidly become one of the city's key authorities on who matters in New Orleans hip-hop.
Four years ago, local entrepreneur and hip-hop producer, Lawrence "Law" Parker and his Supreme Street company decided it was time New Orleans' unsung heroes and heroines in Crescent City bounce and hip-hop get recognized in the same fashion that only platinum pop artists, or even New Orleans jazz and "traditional" musicians, are typically honored. And so the NOLA Underground Hip Hop Awards were born in 2010.
A comprehensive roster of the city's most active MCs, producers, DJs and even videographers now appear each year at a different theater downtown for one intense night of New Orleans hip-hop heaven. Artists from the legendary No Limit / Cash Money crew Mannie Fresh and DJ Wop to the late Magnolia Shorty, bounce divas Big Freedia and Keedy Black, and more have graced the awards show stage.
One of the ongoing program's noteworthy aspects is the nomination committee's dedication to ensuring that not just the city's most well-known names are presented, but the burgeoning underground scene of independent artists as well. Organizers say that the annual awards show serves not only to give long overdue props to older pioneers of the genre, but also to encourage the next generation of young artists to keep honing their craft. Additionally, the voting process is one of inclusion, where anyone with internet access can cast their choices for their favorite nominate artists, making for a truly fan and community-driven roster. Although open voting closed yesterday, you can still learn about current and past nominees on the NUHHA website here.
As with most awards shows, the Lifetime Achievement Award is one of the most highly anticipated. This year, three legends will be honored: Sthaddeus "Polo Silk" Terrell, Bust Down and DJ Jimi. Perhaps there is no better year than 2013 for DJ Jimi's role as one of the forerunners of bounce music to be recognized, given the popularization of "twerking," courtesy of NOLA's own queen diva, Big Freedia, and of course, that little VMA controversy with Miley Cyrus.
Q93 FM's DJ RO will present a special tribute to the Ninth Ward's No Limit Records rapper, Mr. Magic, who unfortunately passed away in March of this year. After joining Master P and C-Murder's hip-hop empire in 1998, Magic's debut that year, "Sky's the Limit," reached #15 on the Billboard 200, and his second No Limit release, 1999's "Thuggin'," which had major success, peaked at #30.
Awards for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Music Video of the Year, Best Male and Female Performances, the Soulja Slim Award and more will be presented this Friday at the 2013 NOLA Underground Hip Hop Awards. The Rap Pack, Sissy Nobby, 10th Ward Buck, Mr. Marcelo, Jay Jones and more are among this year's awards show live performance highlights. And as always, we can be sure to expect some surprises (there always are). DJ Hektik will man the wheels of steel and MC Shiny Green plays host with the most for the fourth year in a row.
The event takes place this Saturday, October 26 at the Civic Theatre (510 O'Keefe Ave). Red carpet step-and-repeat with nominees, presenters and performers begins at 5 p.m., with showtime beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets are $25 general admission or $50 – $75 VIP, and available online through TicketMaster or the Civic Theatre box office at the door.4th Annual NOLA Underground Hip Hop Awards

Like the adolescents in Tex—a movie he very nearly steals from his teen-cake co-star, Matt Dillon—actor Jim Metzler knows how helpful an older brother's guidance can be. Seven years ago, wondering what to do with his disorderly life, Metzler asked his own elder sibling, a lawyer, for some career advice. "The thing he was most insistent upon was my not becoming an actor," remembers Metzler, who reacted the same way Dillon does in the movie. "If he'd said it was a good idea, I probably wouldn't have done it."
It did seem a decision out of left field at the time. Metzler already had struck out as a minor league baseball player and as a small-town sportswriter. But perseverance has paid off in his third career. As Tex's Mason McCormick, a high school basketball whiz forced to assume parental responsibility for younger brother Dillon, who is cast in the title role, Metzler won over the critics. No matter that, despite a revamped ad campaign, Tex has not broken any records at the box office: The movie, based on author S.E. Hinton's 1979 novel, was considered sufficiently distinguished to become the only Disney production ever admitted to the prestigious New York Film Festival.
Metzler insists that his part "was so beautifully written it couldn't help but draw attention." Still, he worried that it might not be the right kind. For while his unlined face offers no clue to the exact number of his years (he's 31, but won't say so), the producers of Tex "were concerned about my age," he admits. His character was originally supposed to be a 17-year-old. Metzler convinced director Tim Hunter to up the age to 18. "There is a real psychological difference between 17 and 18," he explains. "It's more like being a man. I was flattered they thought I could do it, and I like playing younger."
Born in Oneonta, N.Y. to an often-moved Sears executive and a housewife, Jim grew up in towns all over the East Coast. After prepping at Pennsylvania's Hill School, he majored in English at Dartmouth College, where he got more notice for his baseball skills. Upon graduation in 1973 he was signed by the Boston Red Sox. During two unspectacular years as a pitcher for farm teams in Elmira, N.Y. and Winter Haven, Fla., Metzler managed only to earn a nickname ("Brainiac," for his Ivy League pedigree) and a reputation as a hothead ("Brainiac goes maniac," sighed a teammate as Metzler was bounced from a game for charging the ump). A subsequent year as a sports-writer in Newburgh, N.Y. proved equally inauspicious.
Finally Metzler took off on a cross-country driving trip "to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. Acting was the best thing I could come up with to fill the void left by baseball. It was another sort of performing." He studied for five months at the National Theater Institute in Waterford, Conn., then spent 15 months polishing his new craft in small Massachusetts theaters. "I knew there were lots of women's colleges up there," Jim grins. "I figured I'd get work and also meet some girls." He arrived in New York City in 1978 and eventually auditioned for director Arthur Penn's 1981 film of life in the turbulent '60s, Four Friends. After repeatedly reading for the part, Metzler grew glum. "There must be something I'm not showing them," he mused to his then roommate. "Yeah," his pal said. "Talent." Metzler finally did get the part, but the movie bombed. "I think people saw Four Friends on the marquee and assumed it was a very small Quaker meeting," he deadpans. But the movie did convince him he should move to Los Angeles, and only three months after his January 1981 arrival he landed his breakthrough role in Tex.
A low-key realist, Metzler remains unseduced by his sudden success. He drives a Datsun 510 and lives in a plain, sparsely furnished one-bedroom apartment off Hollywood Boulevard. Two weeks ago he up and married his striking blond girlfriend, former acting classmate Marcie Fitz Maurice, in a park near L.A.'s county courthouse. "We were talking about children and...we knew, so we did it," Jim explains. "Hopefully our lives will go on the same." Although he's yet to find a follow-up role he feels worthy of Tex, he's not too worried. "I just turned one movie down last week. I don't need the money to survive right now, and I wouldn't have wanted that film to be the last movie I ever did. If my last one were Tex, though," he adds, "I wouldn't mind."

WASHINGTON — In New York, it's against the law to beg near bank machines. Philadelphia wants to make it illegal to lie down on sidewalks. And Charlotte, N.C., conducts sweeps to roust homeless people who live under bridges.
More and more, cities are cracking down on street people, according to a survey released yesterday by the National Law Center on Poverty and Homelessness, an advocacy group that examined practices in the country's 50 biggest cities.
Some see the trend as a troublesome sign that America has become less compassionate.

Circle of March, Vol. IXPosted by rtmsf on March 14th, 2013
We managed to miss yesterday's update so consider today a two-fer on the Circle of March. Most of the major conference tournaments are in full swing now, and the last few — the ACC, Atlantic 10, Big Ten and a handful of others — start today. The numbers going into Thursday's action: We started with 310 teams nine days ago; we're now down to 160 remaining, which means not only are we roughly halfway home, but a nice, round 150 teams have been eliminated from contention. Over the next four days, of course, we'll say goodbye to another 92.
Teams Eliminated From National Title Contention (03.12-13.13)

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has asked Israel's Supreme Court to delay the destruction of 12 homes, two of which belong to Israeli Defense Forces soldiers who died in battle.
The government has deemed the Jewish neighborhood of Ha Yovel in the mountains of Samaria north of Jerusalem to be an illegal outpost. Demolition of the homes was to take place in two weeks, but Barak asked the Court for a six-month delay because the issue requires "sensitive and humane treatment."
Maj. Roi Klein was killed in action during the Second Lebanon War when he fell on a grenade thrown by Hezbollah guerillas, saving the lives of the other soldiers in his brigade. After his death he was awarded the IDF Medal of Courage. His wife and children still live in their Ha Yovel home.
The other fallen soldier, a neighbor of the Kleins, Maj. Eliraz Peretz, died March 26 during an exchange of gunfire with terrorists in the Gaza Strip.
The government's impending action has sparked angry debate in the Knesset. Several lawmakers took the Defense Ministry to task for not intervening to stop the neighborhood's destruction.
Barak could declare the neighborhood legal, which would stop the homes from being razed, but Knesset Minister Michael Ben-Ari fears Barak won't act for political reasons and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must act instead.
"I don't think the Defense Minister will want to certify the neighborhood," Ben-Ari said. "He would prefer to placate his far-left friends than do a brave act. Therefore, responsibility rests on the prime minister."
The Leftist activist group Peace Now petitioned the government for the neighborhood's destruction, hoping that Arabs will gain sovereignty in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank).
Forty families with more than 100 children now live in Ha Yovel. One mother said the children are playing a new game called "what will we do when they come to destroy our house."

Study: Speed limit on ICC can safely be 60 mph
Highway has had no fatal crashes, 20 single-car crashes
An engineering study of the Intercounty Connector has concluded that the speed limit on the highway could safely be increased to 60 mph from 55.
The study added that an analysis of crash data needs to be completed.
