Won't anybody help this poor gangsta?
A group of Brooklyn street thugs secretly planned to host a benefit this weekend to support the city's top Bloods gang kingpin awaiting trial for murder, but the plug got pulled after word leaked out.
Called "We Run NY," tomorrow's event was set to feature a lineup of hip-hoppers at a Gowanus nightclub — with some people led to believe it was to benefit "young, underprivileged rappers,'' said one source familiar with the kingpin's legal case.
But the event was really designed to raise funds for the reputed leader of New York City's Bloods gang, Ronald "Ra Diggs" Herron, supporters told The Post.
Herron is facing a slew of federal charges, including murder, conspiracy and drug dealing — and potentially the death penalty for the raps.
Supporters planned to rally at the SRB Brooklyn club at 177 Second Ave. on his behalf, peddling tickets for $40 a pop.
The event promised to be a gangland extravaganza, featuring rappers such as Papoose, Byrd Gang Shoota and Uncle Murda, who put out a rap song with Herron that is the apparent namesake of the event, called "We Run NY."
According to a promotional flier, the Brooklyn thugathon was to be hosted by DJ Kay Slay and include an appearance by the "Ladies of Straight Stuntin Magazine," which is one of New York's biggest "booty" magazines.
But yesterday, as word got out that the benefit was for Herron, a club rep told The Post, "Due to unforeseen circumstances, SRB has had to cancel the event, and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.''
It's not clear how the money would have been spent, since Herron has three court-appointed lawyers paid for by taxpayers. Promoters of the event could not be reached for comment.
Herron — a member of the "Murderous Mad Dog" faction of the Bloods — has been charged in three killings of alleged drug-trade competitors.
Since being busted in 2010 by the feds, he has been investigated for trying to escape, threatening witnesses and having sex with a female guard.
He is also a bit of a "Teflon Don," since he beat a state murder rap in 2001 after two witnesses refused to testify.
"Ronald Herron and his gang terrorized a Brooklyn community for more than a decade, and he temporarily got away with murder by threatening and intimidating witnesses only to return to the streets of Brooklyn to kill and kill again," Brooklyn US Attorney Loretta Lynch had said.
In addition to being a street thug, Herron is also an aspiring rapper.
Under the name "Ra Diggs" he has put out a song called "Unstoppable," in which he raps, "I'm insurmountable, I'm the indomitable, astronomical, the abominable . . ."
In his song with "We Run NY" with Uncle Murda, the duo send a ominous message to rap star 50 Cent in which they say "Some one tell Fitty we run New York."

It's enough to make Justin Bieber break out into a Bieber fever--and not the good kind.
The operator of a portfolio of unofficial fan sites dedicated to celebs like Biebs, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato has been sued for illegally collecting the personal information of its underage members, including birth dates and cell phone numbers.
Per the New York Daily News, the Justice Department, in a lawsuit filed Tuesday in a federal court in Manhattan, accused operator Artist Arena of gathering the information of more than 100,000 members under the age of 13 without their parents' consent.
U.S. & World
Justin Bieber throws up onstage but keeps rockin'
The data includes full names, email addresses, birth dates and cell phone numbers--a move, the suit claims, that violates the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act safeguarding minors under the age of 13.
Artist Arena allows members to create profiles enabling them to interact with other users, and fans were reportedly required to provide personal details when signing up.
That policy was amended on March 8, and now users are urged not to provide sensitive information.
Justin Bieber mourns loss of biggest fan
The lawsuit is seeking $16,000 in damages for each violation, as well as an injunction against site operations.
Despite its one-time stable of sites, Artist Arena currently only runs BieberFever.com, which hypes a yearly membership fee of $99 as well as plum access to presale tickets to Biebs' shows.

Rhythmic Gymnastics
Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games
What is Rhythmic Gymnastics?
What Equipment Do They Use?
The ball must be made of rubber or soft plastic, with a diameter of 18-20cm. It must weigh at least 400g.
The hoop may be made of wood or plastic, with an inner diameter of 80 to 90 centimeters. It must weigh at least 300 grams. Performances must include at least three leaps.
The rope, made from hemp or a similar material, has no set length because it is relative to the height of the gymnast. Performances must include at least three leaps.
Gymnasts work with two bottle-shaped clubs of equal length, 40-50cm, and resembling a slender tenpin bowling pin in shape. Made of wood or plastic and weighing at least 150g, the clubs have a wide end (the body), a tapering middle section (the neck), and usually a ball on the end (the head) with a maximum diameter of 30mm.
An imaginary surface where moves are performed, i.e. lateral, frontal, horizontal or diagonal.
Diagonal plane
An imaginary surface, at less than a 90-degree angle to the floor, where moves are performed.
Horizontal plane
An imaginary surface, level with the ground, where moves are performed.
Lateral plane
An imaginary surface to the side of and parallel to the body, where moves are performed.
The ribbon is a single 7m strip of ribbon made from satin or a similar material. One meter of its length is folded and doubled so it may be attached by a cord to a cylindrical stick 50-60cm in length which the gymnast grasps. The ribbon must stay in perpetual, fluid motion throughout the routine.

While it only takes a half hour to run from one end to another, Bethesda has packed an extraordinary world inside Skyrim's tiny space, filled with visuals sure to strike a chord in anyone that's ever contemplated the majesty of nature. Here's my favorite spot. What's yours?
I was wandering about aimlessly in an attempt to follow my blue guide arrow in a direction I wasn't supposed to go when I found myself perched precariously on the edge of a sheer cliff. For just a moment I forgot the quest I was on, the virtual people counting on me. I was captured by the sound of the wind, barely audible over the crashing of water over rocks. I gazed out over the horizon, imagining the tiny droplets of water hanging in the air about the waterfall, those cool pinpricks against my skin.
I fell in love, just a little bit.
What's amazing about Skyrim is that you might have been standing in the same place and you just don't realize it. Maybe it was dark, or stormy, or you were being chased by bandits, wolves, or dragons. That's why this is my place; the variables that brought me here are likely completely different from anyone else's.
I've shown you mine, now show me yours. Drop in a screenshot or two, or just tell us where to find it on the map. Give us a quest, and find out if we see what you see.

The Evo has an 802.11n-capable chip inside, but it's gimped to run slower 802.11g. If you've rooted your Evo (a serious task in itself), modders can help you remedy this limitation by changing just two lines of code.
Using a hex editor, you follow the instructions seen here—pretty much just copying and pasting some new code at just the right spot.
Of course, given how simple this fix is, it brings into question even more why the Evo didn't have its 802.11n enabled from the get-go. Most have speculated that battery life is to blame. That's possible, I guess, but I can't imagine it draws loads more power than 3G and 4G connections, especially running simultaneously. [XDA Developers via Object Oriented via Engadget]

Dutch Vs. Nature Style Aquariums
Dutch aquariums are an older style of aquascaping, dating back to early 20th century Holland. The style focuses on neat rows of plants radiating out from a central focal point, with lower plants in front and taller plants in the back (creating depth). You'll often see this described as "streets" or "avenues" using plants.
Dutch aquascapes also feature more colorful aquatic plants. They can be likened to a well kept garden, where all the plants are arranged with a purpose and kept well trimmed and defined. It may not be the most natural looking, but it is extremely beautiful and visually interesting. A significant hardscape (rock and/or driftwood) is usually not present or visible. Color, contrast, and the beauty of the individual plants is paramount.
The Nature aquarium style was pioneered by Takashi Amano in the last decade. The style of this type of aquascape is very much focused on nature and imitating both natural landscapes and snapshots of natural environments. This means that a Nature style aquascape can look like a miniature version of a mountain range with tree lined slopes, or like a scene under the surface of a small river.
Hardscape usually plays a role in framing the aquascape or helps to create flow. Nature style aquascapes are often also one of three shapes: concave shaped, convex shaped, or triangular. Concave means that the height of the plants decreases to some central low point, then slopes back up. Convex is the opposite of concave, and is often called an "island" shape since the plants are low on either side but high in the middle. Finally, triangular shaped aquascapes are shaped like a right triangle, and the height of the plants slopes gradually from high on one side of the tank to low on the other. In most Nature style aquascapes, there is only one main focal point and it is almost always positioned according to the Golden Rule. Natural appearance, flow, and other Japanese gardening principles are most important
Within each of these styles there are further sub-styles that I'll explore a little further in another article.

Great stuff! Can't wait for the follow up articles!ReplyDelete
great post! will check back your blog regularly! I hope you won't mind if I put a link to your blog from my blog at aquasamit.blogspot.comReplyDelete
Great blog. May I persume you're dutch?ReplyDelete
I'm having alot of difficulty buying the right plants, and keeping them alive.
They are oftennot labeled, or labelled wrong in stores, and Iven if they thrive, the pleco's will get 'm.
Groetjes, D.
can anyone tell me what type of plants they used for the fourth pic?ReplyDelete
great post:)ReplyDelete
If I were a fish I would hope and prey I did not go to a modern trendy home where the owners liked the latest craze. At the moment the latest trend is the fish tank coffee table. Although this type of aquarium looks stunning it is a death trap for fish.ReplyDelete
Nature aquariums are simply the best kinds of aquariums on planet. It is also good for the environment.ReplyDelete
As we always say it, it is "art and nature inside the glass!"
By the way, here's a good list of aquatic plants to start with.
Each style has indeed, their own unique set ups and designs. What you choose as your tank's design must also consider your fish for freswater tanks. Their adaptability to your tank can basically determine their health.ReplyDelete
I need plants like in second picture.ReplyDelete
Any advice?

Recipient of Outstanding Student Award Is a Leader On, Off Campus
Jessica D'Souza
When Jessica D'Souza came to UT Dallas as a freshman, she had a hunch she would be taking a less traditional approach to her medical career dreams. That approach was effective — she recently was recognized for her dedication to UT Dallas and the community with the Outstanding Student Award.
Beginning as an undeclared major, D'Souza had what she calls a "light bulb moment" when she first understood the connection between health and sociology in her Public Health and Society class.
"Medicine is only one piece of health, and sociology highlights the other important factors. I knew then that I wanted to pursue a public health-oriented career and that sociology was the path for me," said D'Souza, a McDermott Scholar who earned a bachelor's degree in sociology and a minor in biology in May.
D'Souza's hands-on college experiences confirmed her desire to work directly with those she will serve. To prepare for a career in public health, D'Souza volunteered with Rainbow Day Children at Dallas Life Homeless Shelter and with CitySquare, a nonprofit devoted to fighting poverty.
Working at a clinic, D'Souza explored community medicine by health coaching and coordinating family activities. She shadowed physicians and translated for Spanish speakers at various clinics throughout the Dallas area.
D'Souza's Achievements & Activities at UT Dallas
- McDermott Scholar
- Collegium V Honors Program
- Bill Archer Fellow
- Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society
- Student Ambassador
- Student Government communications chair and Freshman Senator of the Year
- Studied and volunteered abroad in Peru, Argentina and Spain
- Rainbow Days Children volunteer
- North Texas Undergraduate Conference of Psychology poster presenter
- Sociology Club vice president
- Ladies of Vision and Excellence treasurer
- Kappa Alpha Theta Sorority
- NEW Leadership Texas Program
The St. Louis native continued to serve others, teaching multicultural and health-based cooking classes while in Spain and Washington, D.C.
D'Souza is the second student to receive the Outstanding Student Award. The Office of Undergraduate Education established the Outstanding Student Award in 2013 to provide public recognition to one outstanding senior graduating each year from UT Dallas.
"Awards such as this are important because they demonstrate to the UT Dallas community that in addition to academic success, we also highly value leadership, commitment, perseverance, creativity and service to the community," said Courtney Brecheen, assistant dean in the Office of Undergraduate Education. "The ultimate goal is for the Outstanding Student Award to evolve from an incentive to accomplish great things at UT Dallas to the standard of excellence we expect of each undergraduate."
The award, presented each spring at the Honors Convocation, includes $5,000 and a custom-engraved diploma frame. The anonymous donation that funds the Distinguished Chair for Undergraduate Education and Research supports the award.
D'Souza was nominated by Dr. Carol Cirulli Lanham, assistant dean of undergraduate studies in the School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences and senior lecturer of sociology. D'Souza's nomination was supported by a combination of her professors, past employers, volunteer supervisors, student organization advisors and UT Dallas program coordinators.
Lanham said D'Souza was enrolled in her sociology classes in her first and last semesters, giving Lanham the opportunity to witness D'Souza's progress.
"She has taken full advantage of all that the program has to offer, and she continues to give back in time and creative ideas of how to improve it for others."
"Although she already had a long list of accomplishments when she came to the University, she did not rest on her laurels," Lanham said. "She quickly got involved in a wide range of extracurricular activities and academic pursuits, and was always looking for ways to give back."
McDermott Scholars Program director Molly Seeligson said D'Souza served as a representative of her class on the McDermott Council, provided academic feedback to those interested in pursuing a career in medicine and mentored younger scholars in the program. She joined a group of newer McDermott Scholars on their trip to Santa Fe, N.M., earlier this year.
"Jessica's commitment to the McDermott Scholars Program has been as constant as it is boundless," Seeligson said. "She has taken full advantage of all that the program has to offer, and she continues to give back in time and creative ideas of how to improve it for others."
This fall, D'Souza will begin her medical training at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Her long-term career goal is to create greater ties between medicine and public health, possibly through public policy.
"Receiving the Outstanding Student Award was the culmination of my time at UT Dallas," D'Souza said. "It holds a sense of fulfillment for me that I have contributed to the University and the UTD community and have made the most of the wonderful opportunities I have been blessed with."

Cards continue to struggle against lefty starters
Mets starter Niese quiets St. Louis bats as New York takes finale
ST. LOUIS -- Before a pitch was thrown on Thursday, the matchup hinted at an unbalanced affair. There was Adam Wainwright, on the heels of a two-hit shutout, set to face a Mets club that had won just twice in its past 10 games. Opposing him would be a pitcher who had been knocked around for 15 runs in his past two starts.
But things aren't always as they seem, and Jon Niese provided that reminder as he delivered one of his strongest starts of his season. It helped the Mets escape Busch Stadium with a 5-2 victory, foiling the Cardinals' attempt to sweep a four-game series for the second time this month.
"Anytime you head into a big league game, it's hard enough to win on its own, but to take four of them in a row is extremely difficult," said manager Mike Matheny. "It's very hard. I don't think enough acknowledgement [is made] of that fact."
With a sellout crowd of 44,068 on hand, Niese quieted a Cardinals lineup that was without Matt Holliday and Jon Jay for the day. The Cardinals collected only six hits over 7 1/3 innings against Niese, who became the latest in a line of lefty starters to flummox the Cardinals.
The Cardinals have lost the past four games in which a left-hander has started against them. Those four starters combined to allow three earned runs in 28 innings. In the same span, St. Louis has gone 12-1 and scored 46 runs against right-handed starters.
The discrepancy is evident in the team batting average, as well. Through a quarter of the season, the Cardinals are batting 50 points higher against right-handers (.275) than they are against lefties (.225).
"I'm still not buying into it," said Allen Craig, who went hitless in three at-bats with a runner on base and twice thwarted rallies with double plays. "We feel like, over the course of the season, that will even out. We'll have some better performances."
On a club that has several established right-handed hitters, the early results are unexpected. With nearly the same group starting position players last year, the Cardinals hit .276 against lefties.
"There's really nothing that would make sense about it," Matheny said. "Our guys can hit lefties. We mixed it up today to get a couple different righties in there to see if we could jumpstart something, but that's where we are right now. I don't think it's going to last."
Despite a troubling start to his season, Niese found a way to extend his career success against the Cardinals. His 2.00 ERA in five starts against St. Louis remains his lowest against any opponent.
In contrast is Wainwright, who has now lost each of his past four starts against the Mets. Wainwright did not attribute that to any trend, but rather a handful of big innings that New York has pieced together off him during that stretch.
On Thursday, the Mets used a two-run third and two-run sixth to take a 4-1 lead.
"I felt like it was good, not great," Wainwright said of his command. "I definitely wasted today with not executing a couple pitches. But I had more than enough good stuff to get the job done."
Daniel Murphy and David Wright were in the middle of all of Wainwright's trouble. Each drove in a run in the third, and then doubled and scored in the sixth. Murphy tallied four hits in the game, giving him 10 for the series.
"I didn't know that we had success against [Wainwright]," Wright said. "He's got great stuff. It seems like the hits we were able to scratch out -- we had some bleeders that fell in, we had some good at-bats, and Murphy did a nice job setting the table for everyone else."
After throwing 120 pitches in his last start, Wainwright was pulled with a pitch count of 87. He defused any speculation of a carryover effect from his workload last start, noting that he was "surprised" the Cardinals did not let him pitch past the sixth.
"I could have easily pitched into the seventh or eighth inning," Wainwright said. "I made a couple of mistakes in the middle of the plate. I don't think it's time to start talking about fatigue or any of that. It's a little early."
The Cardinals' best chance to peck away at the deficit came in the eighth, just after the Mets extended their lead with a run off reliever Fernando Salas. Niese was chased from the game after allowing a one-out double to Matt Carpenter and then walking Shane Robinson.
With his third hit of the day, Carlos Beltran singled home Carpenter. Craig followed as the potential tying run, but ended the threat by grounding into his second double play of the afternoon. The Cardinals then went quietly in the ninth against closer Bobby Parnell.
"We had a good run," said Matheny, whose club lost for just the third time in its past 15 games. "We got them a little nervous there late. Guys continued to push."

Mutual funds can have two very different cost structures: load and no-load. Load funds are funds sold by brokers and salesmen and carry hefty fees to compensate the seller. No-load funds are purchased directly from the mutual fund companies or on the advice of fee-only advisors (like me) through a mutual fund platform like Schwab or TD-Ameritrade.
Every mutual fund has a set of expenses, called an expense ratio which pays the expenses, salaries, profits, etc. of the fund. Index funds have low expenses, around 50 basis points (100 basis points equals 1 percent, 50 basis points equals .5 percent).
Managed mutual funds have expenses anywhere from 75 basis points to 200 basis points, or 2 percent. Bond funds tend to have the lowest ratios and foreign funds the highest, but it can be all over the lot. In effect you are paying for the money management skills of the mutual fund team.
A manager must work hard to bring you a total return that at least matches the total return of the index funds because of the larger expense ratios. There are many good managers out there who can do this and the arguments over index versus managed funds are many. And that's a tale for another day.
If you don't buy directly from a fund company or on the advice of a fee-only planner, you must buy load funds through a broker, bank or insurance salesman. You will be sold either "A"or "B" share funds.
A-share funds have a front load, usually 5 percent, which is deducted before the money is put to work. So, for example, if you invest $10,000, $500 goes to the brokerage firm and $9,500 is put to work in the fund. Note that you are still paying the expense ratio charged by the mutual fund, as well.
So in that first year, the fund must earn at least 6 or 6.5 percent just for you to break even. Oh, and a dirty little secret for A-shares and indeed some no-load funds is that they may also carry an additional fee called a 12b-1 fee, which is paid to the broker or the platform for "ongoing service."
This fee is typically about 25 basis points, but can be higher, so if you purchase A-shares be sure to ask if there are 12b-1 fees as well and, if so, why?
B-shares are backloaded. Your full $10,000 is put to work, but each year a percentage of the fund's value goes to the broker. The catch is that you must hold the fund for five years or pay a penalty.
If you sell the fund in the first year, 5 percent is deducted. In year two, it is 4 percdent, etc. After five years, B shares convert to A-shares. But remember, like A-shares, each year you are also paying the fund's expense ratio and A-shares continue to have 12b-1 fees.
So, there you have in a nutshell all you wanted to know about costs. Next time we'll have fun with taxes.

Prey tells the story of Tommy, a Cherokee garage mechanic stuck on a reservation going nowhere.
Version: 1.4Prey tells the story of Tommy, a Cherokee garage mechanic stuck on a reservation going nowhere. His life changes when an otherworldly crisis forces him to awaken spiritual powers from his long-forgotten birthright. Abducted along with his people to a menacing mothership orbiting Earth, he sets out to save himself and his girlfriend and eventually his planet.

Operating System: Linux
Homepage: www.prey.com
Developed by:
Prey is serious, dark story, based on authentic Cherokee mythology. Themes of sacrifice, love and responsibility are explored and the story dives into emotional territory not yet explored by similar games. You will find nothing familiar with this game.
In Prey, gamers enter an unpredictable world where nothing can be taken for granted. Most of the game takes place within a living ship, a giant entity that can sense and react to Tommy's presence.
Prey makes use of Joseph's Campbell's renowned story structure, "The Hero's Journey," for guiding the main character arc. Campbell's extensive work on mythological story progression was made famous when George Lucas used it for Luke Skywalker's story arc in the original Star Wars.

Kershaw pitches 3-hitter as Dodgers beat Brewers
Ethier drives in 2 of the 3 runs for the Dodgers
Clayton Kershaw scattered three singles in his second complete game of the year and Matt Kemp hit his first home run since April 24, lifting the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night.
Ryan Braun managed a pair of singles and Yuniesky Betancourt also singled for the only hits off Kershaw (5-2). The lefty struck out five and walked one.
Andre Ethier homered and tripled for the last-place Dodgers before being ejected by plate umpire Dan Bellino for arguing a called third strike in the eighth inning.
The victory was a respite for Dodgers manager Don Mattingly. He addressed speculation before the game on whether he would be fired this week, insisting he didn't feel as if he was about to be replaced.
Yovani Gallardo (3-4) gave up three runs, including two homers, in six innings. The right-hander lost his third consecutive start and the reeling Brewers have dropped 15 of 18 games.
With the Dodgers' bullpen giving up 12 runs while Los Angeles was swept in a three-game weekend series at Atlanta, Mattingly took no chances. He sent Kershaw out for the ninth, and the ace needed only 10 pitches to retire the Brewers in order.
Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said before the game he thought Kemp's lack of power this season was due to the slugger's offseason surgery on his left shoulder.
The star center fielder hit his second homer of the season, connecting for the first time in a span of 87 at-bats. Kemp's solo homer came in the sixth.
Colletti said his team, second-to-last in the majors in scoring at 3.4 runs per game, needed to hit better in the clutch. The Dodgers went 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position against the Brewers.
Kershaw beat the Brewers for the second time in five starts. He has given up only three earned runs in 39 2-3 innings for an 0.68 ERA in that span.
Kemp, who hit 116 homers the past four seasons, walked to lead off the second and scored easily on Ethier's triple for a 1-0 lead.
The Brewers tied it in the third. Rickie Weeks walked and later scored on a groundout to second by Norichika Aoki.
Ethier's solo homer, his fourth, put the Dodgers ahead in the fourth.
NOTES: Dodgers LHP Ted Lilly was reinstated off the 15-day DL. RHP Matt Magill was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque. Lilly will spend a couple of days in the bullpen and is expected to start Saturday against St. Louis. ... Dodgers INF Jerry Hairston has tendinitis in his left knee.

Things may finally be looking up for American nonprofit organizations. Last year, for the first time since 2007, more than half of nonprofits experienced an increase in charitable receipts, according to a new report by the Nonprofit Research Collaborative.
NRC's study found that 53% of U.S. charities surveyed received more contributions in 2011 than in 2010. Just 16% saw charitable receipts remain flat, compared with 24% a year ago.
Less than a third of charities reported a drop in contributions in 2011, a big improvement over the 46% in 2009 that experienced a decline, NRC said in a statement.
Last year's good news apparently came on the heels of an uptick in contributions during the fourth quarter. "These findings are a pleasant surprise, given that the Collaborative's surveys through September 2011 showed relatively flat levels of fundraising," Andrew Watt, president and CEO of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, an NRC founder, said in the statement.
"We saw a strong surge in year-end giving, helped by the slowly growing economy and people responding to the needs of their communities."
More than 70% of organizations in the study said they expected to receive increased contributions in 2012. About a third said that the national and global economy is the greatest challenge to fundraising this year.
The study found that most nonprofits employ a wide variety of fundraising techniques. On average, respondents used eight of the 10 different fundraising methods studied, including direct mail, major gifts and online appeals.
According to the study, board members—especially in organizations with $1 million or more in expenditures—are likely to be involved in fundraising in a combination of ways. Fifty-seven percent of all board members among the survey respondents and 62% of those in large charities are expected to make a contribution and to connect their personal networks to the organization by using their names in fundraising pitches or making introductions.
Between 50% and 60% of organizations have board members who take a more
active role in fundraising, which includes:
- Chairing events (65%)
- Securing sponsorship funding (62%)
- Making personal visits to prospective donors (58%).

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Representing seven fall sports, 68 Penn State student-athletes were honored as Academic All-Big Ten honorees. Penn State's 68 honorees brings the Nittany Lions' all-time total to 3,852 during the 18 years of the program.
Penn State's 68 honorees ranked fourth among the 12 Big Ten institutions. In addition, the women's volleyball team totaled eight honorees to tie for first with Illinois.
Penn State's Academic all-conference award winners and their respective teams excelled both academically and athletically. Several student-athletes who were named Academic All-Big Ten honorees earned recognition on the field, as well as in the classroom.
The field hockey team won the Big Ten Championship and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Junior Kelsey Amy (Sweet Valley, Pa.) was an NFHCA Longstreth First Team All-American, while senior Ayla Halus (Hershey, Pa.) earned a spot on the Second Team.
The Nittany Lion football team earned a share of the Big Ten Leaders Division title and will play in the Ticket City Bowl in Dallas, Texas on Jan. 2. The Nittany Lions also earned the top spot in the fifth annual Academic Bowl Championship Series rankings. Junior John Urschel (State College, Pa.) maintained an unblemished GPA and was named a Capital One Academic All-District selection. Four other Nittany Lions picked up postseason awards, including senior Drew Astorino (Edinboro, Pa.), senior Quinn Barham (State College, Pa.), senior Chima Okoli (Virginia Beach, Va.) and senior Nate Stupar (State College, Pa.) who garnered Honorable Mention All-Big Ten laurels.
The women's cross country team finished third at the Big Ten Cross Country Championships. Senior Kara Millhouse (Boiling Springs, Pa.) was a First Team All-Big Ten selection, while sophomore Emily Giannotti (Coudersport, Pa.) was a Second Team honoree. Sophomore Kalyn Fisher (Lewisburg, Pa.) also maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA.
The women's soccer team continued its conference dominance with its 14th straight Big Ten title and 17th straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Sophomore Maya Hayes (West Orange, N.J.) and junior Christine Nairn (Arnold, Md.) were named First Team and Second Team NSCAA All-Americans, respectively. Hayes was also named the Big Ten Forward of the Year, while junior Lexi Marton (Aurora, Ontario) and senior Ali Schaefer (Henderson, Nev.) were First Team All-Big Ten picks and sophomore Taylor Schram (Canonsburg, Pa.) and senior Emma Thomson (Nottinghamshire, England) were Second Team selections.
The women's volleyball team made its 31st appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 2011. The Nittany Lions are one of just two programs to participate in every event since its inception in 1981. Sophomore Katie Slay (Raleigh, N.C.) was a AVCA Second Team All-American and earned First Team All-Big Ten honors.
The Big Ten recognized 788 falls sports student-athletes. To be eligible for Academic All-Big Ten selection, student-athletes must be letterwinners who are in at least their second academic year at their institution and carry a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Penn State student-athletes continue to graduate well above their peers nationwide, earning record-setting academic performances, according to statistical information released by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The NCAA's annual study of institutions nationwide revealed that Penn State student-athletes at the University Park campus earned a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 88 percent compared to the 80 percent average for all Division I institutions for students entering from 2001-02 through 2004-05. The 88 percent figure was third to Northwestern (96) and Illinois (89) among Big Ten Conference institutions. Listed below are Penn State's 2011 Fall Academic All-Big Ten honorees by sport.

Religious Rally Against Israel
Posted By Mark D. Tooley On June 11, 2010 @ 12:19 am In FrontPage | 18 Comments
Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP) tries to organize American religious opinion against Israel with relatively measured tones. Its participants predictably include officials from the left-dominated Mainline Protestant denominations, liberal Catholic orders, and the Greek Archdiocese of North America, as well as the Antiochian Orthodox Church in the U.S. Its official "friends" include more overtly anti-Israel diehards like Friends of Sabeel – North America, which essentially wants to dissolve Jewish Israel in favor of a multi-ethnic "Palestine." Various advocates of anti-Israel divestment, an otherwise largely defeated cause, are also "friends" to CEMP, including the Episcopal Peace Fellowship, the Presbyterian Peace Fellowship, and the Methodist Federation for Social Action.
The star of CMEP's annual "advocacy" conference in Washington, D.C. starting June 13 will be Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori. Comfortably liberal Episcopal refinement is exactly the sort of tone that CMEP often prefers to mask its more provocative agenda. Bishop Schori is enmeshed in the melt-down of her own denomination, including lawsuits against departing local congregations, and its schism with the more theologically orthodox global Anglican Communion. But denouncing Israel still merits her attention.
Last week, she wrote President Obama a relatively long, substantive and, by Religious left standards, temperate denunciation of Israel's interception of the Gaza-bound flotilla. But the bias and preoccupation with Israeli sins, perceived or real, are still obvious, even if cloaked in Episcopalian politesse. Admitting all the details of the flotilla event are still unclear, she still insisted: "It is clear, however, that the deaths of civilians working to deliver humanitarian aid could not have happened absent the counterproductive Israeli blockade of Gaza." Ostensibly there are "far better ways to protect Israel's security and promote moderate political leadership in Gaza than a blockade that intensifies human suffering and perpetuates regional insecurity."
What are the alternatives to counteracting Hamas rule in Gaza short of a partial blockade against it? Like most Israel critics, Bishop Schori does not say. And as with other professions of supposed concern about Israel's "security," Bishop Schori and other clerics who publicly pontificate about the Middle East almost never offer substitute proposals for whatever Israeli defenses they reject. The security wall is supposedly an outrage, but what else will impede suicide bombers? Israel's continued security oversight of the West Bank is purportedly oppresses the Palestinians. But since most Palestinians still seem to reject a Palestinian state existing peacefully alongside a Jewish Israel, what are the other options? Religious and secular complainants insist that removal of Jewish settlements from the West Bank is prerequisite for peace. But the abrupt closure of all Jewish settlements in Gaza hardly generated good will and instead seemed only to stimulate appetite for more Israeli concessions. Browbeating Israel into endless accommodations that only feed an inexhaustible expectation by Palestinians for further Israeli retreat and eventual Arab/Islamist triumph seems to be the Religious Left's main strategy for Middle East "peace."
"Instead of enhancing Israel's security, the blockade has harmed its international standing and imposed an inexcusable humanitarian toll on the people of Gaza," Bishop Schori insisted in her letter to Obama. "While Israel has allowed a very limited amount of humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, the restriction on basic goods for agriculture, fishing, and infrastructure construction has caused poverty and joblessness to soar." This may be true, but why is Israel exclusively at fault for Gaza's suffering? How was Gaza faring before to the blockade, and under the rule of the Palestinian Authority? What evidence is there for Palestinian leadership genuinely interested in responsible governance rather than indefinite conflict?
Bishop Schori provided details about the number of trucks with supplies entering Gaza per day. The concern is partly admirable, if sincere. But why is a U.S. Episcopal Bishop obsessed with living standards for Gaza, or the Palestinians, when hundreds of millions globally live in far greater poverty? Would Palestinian GNP, in Gaza or the West Bank, interest liberal U.S. bishops at all, absent Israel as the targeted culprit? How many anti-Western dictators have blockaded or literally starved hostile populations much larger than Gaza, without a murmur from Bishop Schori or the Religious Left?
Rather than tacitly backing an ill-advised blockade, the U.S. should work with its ally, Israel, to promote constructive new policies toward Gaza that serve the aims of peace and security," Bishop Schori lectured. The former oceanographer and teacher wants "continued efforts to halt violence, and credible long-term strategies to support Palestinian leaders who are actively working for peace," while also drawing "support and legitimacy from across Palestinian society." She suggests "political reconciliation so that a future Palestinian government can draw strength both from its internal support and from its external actions on behalf of peace." How does the Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop, unable to reconcile the divisions within her own denomination of tea sippers and Volvo drivers, propose to reconcile Hamas with other Palestinians, much less Israel?
For Schori, the goals for the Middle East are simple. The Episcopal Church has "repeatedly" supported a "secure Israel with defined borders, whose right to exist is universally recognized; a sovereign, independent and secure state for the Palestinian people; and shared custody and protection of the holy sites in Jerusalem held sacred by the three great Abrahamic faiths." This rhetoric appeals to Episcopalians snugly secure in their New England hamlets. But how many Palestinians, even outside Hamas, share this vision?
Schori instructed Obama to shift our nation's posture" towards "lifting the blockade," while also "robustly" encouraging "long-term peace." She also expects "direct negotiation between the parties," i.e. apparent recognition for Hamas. How will abandoning the Gaza blockade and recognizing Hamas, which would surely inflate that Islamist group's prestige and ambitions, advance peace? In the rarified and often beautiful world of Episcopal liturgy, noblesse oblige, gothic spires, and ancient endowments, simply demanding "long-term peace' may seem quite attainable over a lunch at the country club. In the real world of guns, power, and even more ancient hatreds, appeasement often only breeds greater conflict.
Bishop Schori's pleas to appease Hamas were relatively more thoughtful than other Religious Left voices. United Methodist lobbyist Jim Winkler histrionically bewailed Israel's "high-seas piracy" against the "Freedom Flotilla." But her appeal to Obama, and her likely commentary to Churches for Middle East Peace later this week, are just as feckless, and, if heeded, just as dangerous.

I am dreadfully confused by things like this. Anyone out there know how to step-by-step instruct on how to buy a domain (not design a website yet) AND establish a professional e-mail account? Do you need to set up the website to do it? Is there a MOST SIMPLE way to do this? Can you set up an independent e-mail with your name on it for a blog (without a website)? MAC user.Nathan Bransford wrote:Unless the e-mail address is wildly unprofessional this isn't a huge deal to me, though there are others in the industry who feel more strongly about it and advise people to have their own dedicated e-mail address.bcomet wrote:Hi Nathan. Thanks for the answer to my last question.
Here's something that came up recently:
I read (I think on Query Shark) that a writer should have a designated e-mail and if they didn't or had another name (like a pen name) that it was a BIG RED FLAG, that it would hurt a writer's chances. What exactly is a designated email? I use a symbols or words for my emails and not my name as part of my email address. I know another writer who uses her name and her pen name (one inside the other). Are these no-nos? If so, can you speak a little about how a writer's designated email should appear? Thanks!
Also, now is a good time for me to advise everyone to hurry hurry hurry and buy the domain for your name or pen name if at all possible. Then you can set up a very professional e-mail address along the lines of firstname.lastname@example.com

It's nice if you know the names of the people conncected with specific pieces of early-eighteenth-century furniture; it is even better when you have a portrait of them.
The above portrait of Edward Dryden, his wife Elizabeth Allen and their children was purchased by the National Trust with the help of the Art Fund in 1987. Edward, a wealthy London grocer, was the nephew of the poet John Dryden.
The picture hangs at Canons Ashby, Northamptonshire, the house that Edward remodeled between 1708 and 1710. The painting also includes a glimpse of the just completed garden.
The set of furniture was originally supplied by Thomas Phill of the Strand, who in 1716 submitted a bill for chairs with 'frames of ye newest hashion stufft up in Lynnen' and 'for makeing ye needle worke covers & fixeing ym in the chaires.' They were sold in 1938, but bought back and donated to Canons Ashby by an anonymous benefactor in 1983, soon after the National Trust had acquired and restored the house.

It may not look pretty, but this Puff Pastry "Pizza" is melt in your mouth good.A favorite when I teach Operation Frontline classes, Sweet Potato Hummus is different, healthy, and delicious.I don't bake much, but sometimes surprise myself when it turns out as good as this Olive Oil Cake with Lemon and Thyme.Sage brown butter sauce completes this easy Butternut Squash Raviolimade from wonton wrappers. Note that in my original recipe I neglected to mention that the filling should be on the dry side – you may need to saute the squash to eliminate extra water before mixing it with the cheeses.Another quick weeknight meal, Pork Stew with Kale and White Beans is really savory.
And now from some of my other favorite foodies out there in the blogosphere:
From Heidi at 101cookbooks.com, I was inspired by this Simple Farro & Bean Stew.
Gluten Free Lemon and Almond Meltawaysfrom Cannelle et Vanille look like they could, well, melt in your mouth!
The Spinach and Feta Quesadillas offered up by Kevin at Closet Cooking have been calling me since I first saw the mouthwatering picture – need to make these soon! I'm also intrigued by the look and sound of this Korean BBQ Chicken recipe he shared.
I'm not a huge cornbread fan, but maybe it was the addition of cheese and garlic in the Cook local recipe for Cast Iron Garlic and Cheese Cornbread that caught my eye and sparked my salivary glands.
This has nothing to do with cooking, per se, but if you find yourself in Paris, this postfrom David Liebowitz might come in handy.
Chicken Palava (African peanut stew)? Never heard of it, but I love Kay's blog and her food photos always entice, so I need to try this one soon.
Creamy Mushroom Chestnut Soupfrom Food Blogga. Cream – yum. Mushrooms – yum. Chestnuts – never thought of that, so just have to try this one for a dinner party.
The Sweet Potato Skins offered up by Erin at fresh365 look amazing – sports snack food done right!
Joy from Joylicious has gorgeous step by step photos of her version of Neil Perry's Portobello Mushroom Risotto with Poached Shrimp – you'll want to try this one for sure.
Baked pears with lemongrass, ginger and vanillafrom Bea over at La Tartine Gourmande are a wonderful example of how simple food can be sensational. (I also love her voice in her writing – you can just feel the love of a young mother.)
I like the fact that Anita and Cameron over at Married…With Dinner challenge themselves to eat locally even during the dark days, and I'm jealous that their dark days aren't as "dark" as things get here in Colorado. I'm also a sucker for Creamed Spinach.
I'm always amazed at the variety of things I find on the Rasa Malaysia site, and can't wait for the cookbook. Last month alone I was salivating over the Crab Noodles, Broccoli and Scallops, Szechuan/Sichuan Roasted Chicken, and the Penang Curry Mee.
Kelly from Sass & Veracity had a tummy warming recipe for Blueberry Lemon Scones that I'm making for my next brunch.
Angie's Spicy Pork Ribson seasaltwithfood might just invite vegetarians back to meat.
Deb (smitten kitchen) had some really tasty looking things posted in Feburary – Chocolate Souffle Cupcakes with Mint Cream, a Cauliflower and Caramelized Onion Tart, and Baked Rigatoni with Tiny Meatballs made it to the top of my list.
I'm in love with the pigs from Sugar Creek Farm. I've never met them and haven't eaten any pork from the farm, but the pictures tell the story.
The simplicity of Elaine's (The Italian Dish) Chicken Ragu Sauce Over Orecchiette caught my eye and seems like an easy weeknight dinner.
Pasta with Bacon and Mushrooms – need I say more? This was my favorite post from Ree, the Pioneer Woman, in February.
I read Garrett's posts (Vanilla Garlic) more for the humor than the actual recipes (see the hilarious post about Girl Scout cookies), but the recipe for the Chocolate Caramel Tart grabbed my attention immediately.
Beet Greens and Goat Cheese Crostini from The White on Rice Couple seems like an easy and different appetizer for any party.
If you're looking for "fancy food" from a real chef, check out the Wild Mushroom Tart with Gruyère, Herb Salad & Balsamic Reduction and the Wild Striped Bass with Farro, Black Rice, Spinach and Tangerine from Zen Can Cook.
I promise to get the best of March out soon!

Additional Navigation
June 15, 2010 : By Ben Walker
Summer is normally the time for rest and relaxation, but not on the Liberty University campus. Crews are working hard at several construction sites to complete projects before the start of the fall semester.
Driving by campus, one cannot help but notice the large crane hoisting blocks of concrete over Williams Stadium, as the $16 million expansion project is well under way. The work includes an additional 6,600 seats and a brick- and glass-encased, Jeffersonian-style five-story tower that will house 18 permanent luxury suites, a banquet room that will seat up to 800 people, a 1,000-seat classroom and a state-of-the-art press area. There will also be new concession stands and restrooms. The biggest challenge has been installing two elevator shafts for the building.
"That's what's driving the whole project — when those two shafts get up, then everything can be built around it," said Charles Spence, Liberty's director of planning and new construction.
He said the project is by far the largest one with the highest price tag that Liberty has ever taken on. He said he can only recall two other times when the school took on such a challenging endeavor.
"In 1989 and 1990, when we built the original football stadium and the Vines Center, and when we took [Arthur S. DeMoss Learning Center] up three additional stories in 2000, both of those were as hard and complicated — this one's on the same level."
The project officially launched on Jan. 4.
Go to www.libertyflames.com for regular updates, photos and a camera that captures updated images of the construction every 30 minutes.
|STOC (Soccer/Track Operations Center)
Adjacent to the stadium is another project that will boost Liberty's athletics program. The STOC (Soccer/Track Operations Center) will be completed in the next week. It is part of an overhaul of the Matthes-Hopkins Track Complex and Osborne Stadium.
"With donors' help, we've put over a million dollars into the whole complex over the last year, including the center, the seating, the fencing and scoreboard improvements," Spence said.
The center itself was a half-million-dollar project.
Also on task for athletics this summer are six new NCAA-regulation tennis courts to add to the six courts that were completed near Regents Parkway last fall.
The second-largest construction project to be completed on campus this summer will enhance one of Liberty's fastest growing academic programs. The university expects to receive the certificate of occupancy this week for the Tower Theater at Campus North.
The $6 million project is a contemporary-style 600-seat theater consisting of balcony seating, an orchestra pit, catwalks, a fly tower (an intricate system of ropes and pulleys that can move Broadway-size sets and scenery), a box office and 12,000 square feet of support area that includes dressing rooms, a practice room, offices, costume shop, prop room and woodworking and scene shops.
The main theater will first be used to host children's summer camps, a perfect trial period for the theater department, Spence said. "They're going to start playing with their new toys and adjusting and tweaking the systems this summer," he said. Meanwhile, workers will be able to focus on the support space.
Spence said people "will never believe it was an old storage warehouse when we get done with it here." He said those who have already viewed the progress have used words like "outstanding," "takes your breath away," and "overwhelming."
"Theaters are tough construction, with complicated systems, but everything is going fantastic. It's finishing with a really, really nice look."
Other construction projects in high gear this summer include:

The Queensland Government, in partnership with METS Ignited, has developed a free to use test mine facilities database in order to provide the METS industry with options for testing and commercialising new products and services.
The interactive GIS database maps all available mine and laboratory testing facilities in Australia in order to connect METS companies, researchers and miners with the most appropriate test sites for their project. There is also a substantial amount of information available on testing facilities globally.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Authorities have seized more than 3,000 pounds of cocaine in a three-year crackdown on a nationwide drug trafficking operation centered near the California-Mexico border.
The investigation, dubbed Operation Cerberus, was announced Wednesday.
Authorities say Mexico's Sinaloa cartel shipped drugs into Imperial County and then on to other locations in California and other states.
The head of the DEA's San Diego office, William Sherman, says the sophisticated operation used the latest technology to track loads and evade the law.
Authorities say they wiretapped more than 200 phones during the probe and served dozens of arrest warrants this week in California, Arizona and Oregon.
In addition to cocaine, authorities say they seized 100 pounds of methamphetamine, 820 pounds of marijuana and more than $4 million in cash.

Traditional Scouting for Everyone
The 55th Cascadia is proud to serve as North and Northeast Portland's BPSA scout group. Founded in 2013, the 55th Cascadia's has grown to be one of the largest traditional scouting group in the United States. Four scouting sections are open to all genders and ages and all focus on a traditional, open and inclusive, outdoor program. We welcome everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion (or no-religion) or other differentiating factors. Our mission is to provide a positive learning environment within the context of democratic participation and social justice. We foster the development of scouts in an environment of mutual respect and cooperation.
Scouting is an outdoor movement and that is part of its character. Historically, the appeal of scouting has always been to that element of the vagabond, pioneer and explorer which is part of our nature, and is at its most evident in youth. BPSA retains scouting's original focus on this aspect of the program; and encourages our scouts, parents and volunteers to plan programs that take advantage of being out of doors, whenever and wherever possible, even here in rainy Cascadia.
About the Baden-Powell Service Association
BPSA follows the original principles and practices of scouting laid down by Robert Baden-Powell in 1907, which had been developed and refined in Scout and Guide Associations around the world for over 99 years. Our belief is that scouting's original program remains universal, relevant, and adaptable. In Traditional Scouting, changes are primarily for advances in a) health and safety practices, b) environmental concerns, c) equity, and d) lightweight camping technologies.
Our aim thus remains the same as when scouting was founded: to promote good citizenship, discipline, self-reliance, loyalty, and useful skills. BPSA is totally independent of, and not affiliated with, the Boys Scouts of America or the Girl Scouts of the USA. We are members of the World Federation of Independent Scouts (WFIS); and as such are not in competition with other American scouting associations, we are only their brothers and sisters. BPSA-US work closely with the Baden-Powell Scouts' Association of England and the Baden-Powell Service Association in Canada.
BPSA is a volunteer-led organization with no paid staff. This approach keeps the focus on the scouting program and helps keep costs down to a minimum. Training handbooks are available, along with support material. A range of international opportunities exist for our members through the World Federation of Independent Scouts.
Visit BPSA-US for more info and resources on the BPSA program.

If I were asked to name the Green Bay Packers MVP this season, it would be Brett Favre. He was exceptional. If Tom Brady hadn't had one of the greatest years in team sports history, Favre would have gotten strong consideration across the league for his fourth NFL MVP.
But after Favre, I think there are three players that deserve consideration for team MVP: Aaron Kampman, a team leader who has become of the best d-lineman in the league; Greg Jennings, who was a veritable touchdown machine and is well on his way to being a dominating wide receiver in the NFL; and Ryan Grant, who was acquired for a 6th round pick and, after becoming a starter, led everyone but last year's MVP (Ladanian Tomlinson) in running back productivity. If I were voting, I'd pick Grant behind Favre.
Which raises an interesting question. When do you re-sign him? Pete Dougherty explores the issue here.
You'll be stunned to learn that Grant's agent, Alex Herman, thinks his guy is extraordinarily valuable and should get a big contract soon.
A player that's accomplished what he has, I don't think there's any secrets what he's brought to the Packers this year. It's clear around the league (for) anyone who's astute in terms of football that it wasn't a fly-by-night type of thing. He changed their offense and enabled them to have a running game. Since he's an exclusive-rights free agent, it's up to the Packers to decide how they want to approach the situation. You have leverage situations in this business, and right now Ryan's under contract. We'll sit back and see what position the Packers take.
One reason they'll sit back and see what position the Packers take is because they don't really have an option. If Grant wants to play for the Packers — or play in the NFL, since the Packers have his rights — he can be forced to play for the league minimum in each of the next two years.
He shouldn't have to.
It is certainly possible that Grant will prove to be a flash in the pan. But if so, he has already had a long flash — 12 weeks. Grant showed a knack for the kind of cutback runs that generate most of the big runs in a zone blocking scheme. And he had a surprising burst once he hit the hole. (Surprising not just to those of us who watch, but to the linebackers who often found themselves tackling air as Grant raced into the seconday). And he put up some of his biggest games against the league's top run defenses.
I think we've seen enough to re-sign him to a long-term deal. We have the cap space. And if we do it now, before he has another big season, we will be able to have him for a relative bargain.
Sign him now.

Find rub, set up stand, shoot deer, right?
QUESTION: I found some fresh rubs, so I set up a stand nearby. I am very careful about scent control and I hunt the wind, but I have not seen any deer there in a week. What am I doing wrong? — John S.
ANSWER: There are at least a dozen possible reasons for why your stand isn't working out, many of which would apply to just about any location. So let's focus on the rubs.
Deer rub trees for several reasons: They may do so to help in the process of shedding velvet, to strengthen neck muscles for the upcoming rut or as an aggressive display toward another male. All of the above rubs will be made wherever the buck happens to be when that activity occurs, and therefore don't offer much in the way of trying to pattern that deer.
Other times, deer rub in a deliberate effort to leave scent as a means of communication. These rubs are often on regularly traveled routes, or at least in an area visited on a somewhat regular basis. They could be on a field edge, deep in the woods or anywhere in between. However, I've found that field edge rubs tend to be made and re-visited (if they are revisited) mostly at night.
It's tempting to jump on a hot rub, but waiting for the deer that made it to return could be a long and frustrating venture. Even if it's a signpost rub he might not return for a week or more, and then it could be at night. The wait could be even longer once does start coming into estrus. That's not so say you should give up, but suggest setting up a trail camera to see what kind of activity occurs when you're not there.
Meep! Meep! Just like in the cartoons, coyotes keep coming back for more.Find Out The Answer!

It's got Diesel. But will it be four star?
Wow. That's what happens if you write a headline before a second cup of tea. Anyway! Here's a trailer showing the first footage of the game of the forthcoming Vin Disel – ahem – Vehicle, Wheelman. You'll be surprised to discover that it's actually a hardcore Matrix-esque wargame.
Actually, it's a driving game. It prominently features vrooming, screeching and an oddly lacksidasical Vin Disel driving. He needs an Outrun-esque girl in the seat, screaming, by way of contrast. We also hit up our exclusive contacts inside Midway and can reveal that the Midway offices of the team are "Drafty". We'll keep you updated.

A bizarre treat for the creative type
As a creative person with an interest in writing, music and video along with a sense of humor, I really got a kick out of something a family friend shared with me a little while back. It is a Youtube phenomenon known as "Epic Rap Battles in History" with a channel that has recorded more that one billion, yes that billion with a "b" views.
Here are two of my favorites both dealing with legendary writers.
