Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the US. It kills more women than men and more women than all cancers combined.
Designed by Theodora & Callum exclusively for Barbra Streisand and the Fight The Ladykiller Campaign, 50% of the purchase price of this scarf will be contributed to the Women's Heart Alliance.Read more »
Michael celebrates the holidays with his fourth annual NBC Christmas Special, "Michael Buble's Christmas In New York" airing Wednesday, Dec. 17th at 8pm (ET/PT). Barbra Streisand, Ariana Grande, Miss Piggy and The Rockettes join Michael for a holiday celebration.
Barbra made a trip to New York this week to bring much needed awareness to the fight against Women's Heart Disease.
On Wednesday, Gayle King interviewed Barbra as she premiered the new #FightTheLadykiller PSA at a Hearst Master Class. Dr. Noel Bairey Merz and Dr. Holly Andersen also participated in the Q&A. Here are some photos from that event.

There is a chilling video being tweeted by celebs this week.
Jamie Foxx, Ben Stiller, Hugh Jackman, Will Arnett and Jennifer Hudson are asking followers to #fighttheladykiller.
The slightly creepy Ladykiller videos voiced by Edward Norton are part of a campaign to raise awareness of women's heart disease, the No. 1 killer of women.
It's from the Women's Heart Alliance founded by Barbra Streisand and Ron Perelman.
Stiller tweeted, "Barbra Streisand is launching this campaign. It is a worthy cause . . . and I listen to my mother."Read more »

Within just a few weeks of the 50th anniversary of Barbra Streisand's first No. 1 album, "People," which topped the charts in October 1964, Streisand has set a new record with her 10th No. 1 album — becoming the only artist to have had a No. 1 album in each of the past six decades.Read more »

American women, the country needs to hear from you! Do you know how powerful your one voice can be? How powerful your one vote can be?
Remember, it only takes a few votes to make all the difference. In the presidential election of 2000, 104 million people voted and only 537 votes in Florida triggered events that changed the world. Would we have become involved in the unnecessary war in Iraq if Al Gore became President? Would America be falling so far behind on tackling climate change?Read more »

During a Congressional hearing this year, Texas Rep. Joe Barton (R) invoked Noah's Ark saying, "I would point out that if you're a believer in the Bible, one would have to say the Great Flood is an example of climate change and that certainly wasn't because mankind had overdeveloped hydrocarbon."
Really? Because 97% of the world's climate scientists beg to differ today.Read more »

Barbra's Entire Statement To The New York Times About Her Long Effort To Help Achieve Right-to-Love Equality
When I fell in love with Larry's Kramer's play, "The Normal Heart," in 1986, I wanted to promote the idea of everyone's right to love. Gay or straight!
The gay community was suffering. A new disease was rearing its ugly head and no one was listening.
Larry was at the forefront of this battle and God love him, he's still fighting. But there's no need to fight me by misrepresenting my feelings.
As a filmmaker I have always looked for new and exciting ways to do love scenes. It's a matter of taste... whether they're about heterosexuals or homosexuals. Read more »

Imagine if we could quickly reduce the threat of climate change and grow healthier crops at the same time, without the sacrifice the coal and oil industry tells us are inevitable! Turns out we can, and the solution is literally right under our feet.
As we know now, too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere is disastrous for our planet. CO2 traps heat and results in the ice caps melting, more extreme weather, sea levels rising and a variety of consequences that will disrupt life as we know it.Read more »
Here is the speech that Barbra made as she picked up the Glamour "Woman of the Year Lifetime Achievement" award at Carnegie Hall on Monday November 11th 2013.

As we now enter the third week of the unnecessary government shutdown, Americans should remember the words of GOP Representative Martin Stutzman, "We're not going to be disrespected. We have to get something out of this. And I don't know what that even is." This statement reflects a cultural resentment in the land over a changing America. Maybe if the President calls and says he respects the Congressman and the Speaker, the country could move forward.Read more »

Remember Whitewater and the "travel office" non-scandals of the 1990s? The Republicans and certain media outlets wasted the nation's time and millions of dollars in pursuit of alleged wrongdoing by First Lady Hillary Clinton. It was all sound and fury signifying nothing. Two decades later, the same script is being revisited about the attack on the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya, which the President and Secretary Clinton clearly labeled a "terrorist act".Read more »

The horrible tragedy in Newtown, CT has brought to the forefront a much needed and long overdue national conversation regarding the lack of gun control and mental health services in our country. It makes no sense that automatic and semi automatic weapons are available for public sale. The U.S. has more guns and more gun violence than any other civilized country in the world. And since 2009, the National Alliance on Mental Illness has reported that states have cut more than $1.6 billion in general funds from their state mental health agency budgets.Read more »

A federal judge ruled Monday that Oregon's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, and unlike in many other states, this may mean that marriage equality has permanently arrived in Oregon. Due to the precedent set in Hollingsworth v. Perry, the case challenging California's Proposition 8, only the state can appeal a ruling, but Oregon's Attorney General is not defending the ban and thus will not likely appeal. The decision takes effect immediately, meaning couples can begin marrying immediately.Read more »

According to a report released last week in the widely-respected health research journal, The Lancet, the United States now ranks 60th out of 180 countries on maternal deaths occurring during pregnancy and childbirth.
To put it bluntly, for every 100,000 births in America last year, 18.5 women died. That's compared to 8.2 women who died during pregnancy and birth in Canada, 6.1 in Britain, and only 2.4 in Iceland.
A woman giving birth in America is more than twice as likely to die as a woman in Saudi Arabia or China.Read more »

Regardless where you live, May 24 marks the annual opportunity to March Against Monsanto.
The event protesting the GMO (genetically modified organisms) giant will simultaneously take place in more than 400 cities in 52 countries that span six continents. That's up from 36 cities in 286 countries last year. Among the marches is one in St. Louis, MO, which is home to Monsanto's headquarters.

Everywhere you look these days, you see Marxism on the rise. Well, O.K., maybe you don't — but conservatives do. If you so much as mention income inequality, you'll be denounced as the second coming of Joseph Stalin; Rick Santorum has declared that any use of the word "class" is "Marxism talk." In the right's eyes, sinister motives lurk everywhere — for example, George Will says the only reason progressives favor trains is their goal of "diminishing Americans' individualism in order to make them more amenable to collectivism."Read more »

The art of storytelling is at our core. It's the lifeblood of how we communicate and how we decide what deserves our attention and what we are content to ignore as a passing fad.

Standing on the Statehouse steps before a legion of activists, Gov. Peter Shumlin signed into law a bill Thursday that could make Vermont the first state to require genetically modified foods to be labeled — and the first state to be sued over it.
"Today, we are the first state in America that says simply, 'Vermonters have spoken loud and clear. We want to know what's in our food,'" Shumlin said, comparing the issue to other laws that were first in the nation, banning slavery and allowing same-sex marriage. "We are pro-choice. We are pro-information."Read more »

Larry Kramer does not need me to publicize his beautiful play. It stands on its own. For the last time – I will answer his complaints, which rewrite history.
When I saw the play in 1985 I was very moved and immediately contacted Larry to acquire the rights. After going through several drafts with Larry, I hired another writer to develop a screenplay that was faithful to Larry's play -- but adapting it to make it more cinematic. It was finished in 1995. Ralph Fiennes and Kenneth Branagh were interested in doing the version that I oversaw.Read more »

"The most truthful part of a newspaper is the advertisements"
---Thomas Jefferson
Boy, Barbra must sell a lot of papers. That tabloid keeps re-telling the same lies.
I asked my wife if I could borrow her Truth Alert to respond to the latest tabloid nonsense, an outrageous story that I oppose her doing "Gypsy." These scandal sheet guys only print stuff that is the exact opposite of the truth. I'm already lined up to buy the first ticket for that film. Her youthful beauty will perfectly complement her singing and performance. But the point here is that tabloids only traffic in bad news, bad news that they have to maliciously make up in Barbra's case.Read more »
I was just made aware of a ridiculous story in one of those weekly rags. This is just to say that the story is untrue in every respect, just unmitigated, sloppy, and malicious invention. The madness of the constant inaccuracy of these publications is evidenced by the fact that in this recent story the main photo they use of "Jason" is not even Jason!
One of the tabloids is recycling a fabricated story which we truth-alerted as false in 2004.
It's ridiculous to dredge up a 7 year old story about having a polyp removed. It must be a slow news day.
I've endured Larry Kramer's outbursts in the past, not wishing to dignify them with a response. But at a time when we are all pulling together to achieve such giant steps toward gay equality, it is anguishing to me to have my devotion to this cause so distorted. I think my efforts for the gay community and my immersion in securing its constitutional entitlement and other equitable rights is quite evident and a matter of record.Read more »

To clarify the ridiculous assertions relating to Barbra Streisand's participation in the new "We Are The World," the recording of which I attended with her, Barbra hit it on her first take, but then asked Patti Austin, who was producing the vocal session, if she could do a few more to see what else she might come up with. Patti thought the first take was perfect, and she thought the fourth one was more perfect. They stopped at "more perfect."

I discovered in a recent book of rather serious intent, and in which I was otherwise fairly treated, that the author chose to print some of the silliest fabricated tales about me even after acknowledging that they were "perhaps more apocryphal than true."

"Essential reading/listening"
There exists no other American history book like this one. One where history is told through the eyes, ears and voices of the vanquished, not the victors. One where matters of class, power, race, gender, struggle, organizing and overcoming are central themes. One where despite America's sordid history, there remains hope when the people band together to demand basic rights and justice. One where progress is possible, and understanding our country's history is vital to that progress and our very survival. Thank you Howard Zinn, for illuminating a very long, dark path.

Well, Wovember is nearly over and I'm not yet casting off my November jumper. I'm in the throes of a big change in my life and have lost out on valued knitting time in the process. It's making headway, though, and I think I'll be able to blog about it in a couple of days… No promises!
Until then, I've been thinking a lot recently about how time passes just so fast now compared to my vivid memories of being a child and every day being soooo lonnnng; watching the hour hands slowly creeping around clocks on classroom walls, and the neverending evenings (although my bedtime was always surprisingly early). Maybe it's the change of the seasons? I know for sure that this time of year makes me lethargic and nostalgic all at the same time. The flip-flopping of long days and short nights into short days and long nights slows me down and winds me back.
I've realised there's something about wool, too, as I sort through my precious stash and heritage knitting books. I've been a fan of traditional knitting since I picked up the sticks 5 years ago, and both my library and stash reflect my adoration of Northern European folk knitting. Somehow that feels like just the right resonance for wool, with its timelessness and always-having-been-there-ness. And I feel completely at home immersed in this essential quality of it – I knit things, with yarn bought decades before my birth, which will hopefully out-survive me. And so wool bookends my life and those of people who have lived before me, truly a thread of time.
So then I saw this on the Guardian and it just dovetailed so nicely with all this world-weariness I was feeling on the subject of time. We have a lot of nineties pop love in this home (Blur and Radiohead are perennial favourites, never to be usurped) and I for one was a mixtape teen with a vengeance, as my long-suffering parents will testify! (I know they read this, and will be nodding their heads…) This micro play really captures the essence of making mixtapes: the awkward cellophane wrappers C-90 tapes came in, the cunning timing and clunky combinations of button presses, and the careful crafting of the inlays and tracklistings. When my friends finally moved onto CDs, they were enticed by the enhanced surface area for artwork, but the necessity of using computers to burn the CDs soon led to the temptation to shortcut with word-processed tracklistings (made worse when iTunes offered to do it for you!). All the art was lost.
But any old mixtape friends who might be reading this, do not fear! Although my tapes are long gone, I still keep your tracklistings:
• Steve's Kings of Aerosol • Jan's Internationale Superhits • Kathy's twee compilations • Sam's 26 Reasons – and his anachronistic word-processed tracklisting for a taped compilation Home Taping Is Killing Music • Gareth's undeniably-hasty and crap listing for 90 Minute Party People • Jamie's similarly underwhelming effort for a mixtape he couldn't even be arsed to name
… Admittedly at this point I run out of actual crafted tracklistings and just have a pile of those standard TDK inlay cards or crappy pieces of paper with hastily scrawled track info, but the named and shamed mixtapes are cherished artifacts of my music biography – one shared by an entire generation of music fans, but sadly consigned to the history hard drives of many more to come.
And so time passes, and changes. If we're lucky we might change with it, although not so much that we can't recognise our former selves.
Sorry for all the navel-gazing. I promise that's it for this week…

TUAW Video: A Mac Moment with Adam Goldstein
We're on a roll: In this edition of TUAW's Mac Moment series, I sit down with Adam Goldstein, the young author of AppleScript the Missing Manual.

He's also an MIT student, a writer for MacDevCenter, and a killer poker player. He even schools me in my own interview (worth a watch just for that). Click here for the direct mp4 version.

Two left leggs refers to Tonson's odd manner of walking; he had experienced trouble with his feet since his childhood. Later satirists used the image as well, referring to Tonson's shop as under the sign of two left feet. None the less, for all their occasional quarrelling, Dryden and Tonson remained on good terms.With leering look, bull faced and freckled fair
With frowsy pores poisoning the ambient air,
With two left leggs, and Judas coloured hair.(Poems of John Dryden, 1766)
When the troops of volunteers are finally lined up, Tonson goes out to review them:I hear the beat of Jacob's Drums,
Poor Ovid finds no Quarter!(Minor Poems, 172)
The edition appeared in 1717, dedicated to Princess Caroline, with a Kneller portrait of her as frontispiece, in quarto format with numerous illustrations; a nice marketing touch was having each of the fifteen books of the Metamorphoses dedicated to a different noblewoman. The edition proved highly successful despite Pope's sneers (Pope himself being engaged in the translation of Homer that was to make his own fortune); indeed, Tonson's Ovid was reprinted as late as the nineteenth century.Now, Tonson, list thy Forces all,
Review them, and tell Noses;
For to poor Ovid shall befal
A strange Metamorphosis.
A Metamorphosis more strange
Than all his Books can vapour;
To what, (quoth 'Squire) shall Ovid change?
Quoth Sandys: To Waste-Paper.(Minor Poems, 174)
J.

text: THE E N G I N E E R Further Notes on the Development of Fairground Machinery By P. W. BRADLEY In the series of articles outlining the history of fairground machinery, which appeared in THE ENGINEER in 1954 and 1955, numerous amusement machines were described, but it was seen that the majority amounted to elaborations of the simple roundabout or swing; generally with supplementary motions derived either from centrifugal or gravitational forces, inclined planes, common cranks, or some combination of these. It was further noted that from the date of the firm establishment of steam power (circa 1880), the development tendency over a period of about sixty years lay towards increased complexity of resultant motion. There have been various offshoots from the main stem of development; for instance, machines depending on the common crank alone and, later, the important innovation whereby an extensive degree of passenger control was introduced. But the traditional "roundabouts and swings "had a third partner from the outset, namely, the Big Wheel, fundamentally a roundabout with a horizontal instead of a vertical axis". Of the very early invention of this device there is no doubt, evidence being Volume I of The Travels of Peter Mundy in Europe and Asia, published by the Hakluyt Society. It is there recorded that in 1620 Mundy (a Cornishman) visited a fair in Philippopolis, where he saw three kinds of riding device, two being crude versions of the roundabout and swing, and the third "like a crane wheel at the Custom House Quay and turned in that manner, whereon children sit on little seats hung round about in several parts thereof, and though it turns right up and down, and that the children are some times on the upper part of the wheel and some times on the lower, yet they always sit upright." During the era in which steam power reigned supreme on the fairground, the travelling Big Wheel was seldom seen, though there were isolated examples, of very heavy timber construction, including one whose cars were caused to spin about their vertical axes as the wheel revolved, through the agency of pairs of bevel gears. Generally, however, the wheel became a fixed amusement park feature, sometimes on a very large scale. The machine erected in 1894 at the Earls Court Exhibition, for instance, was about 280ft in diameter and seated 1200 riders in its forty carriages. In the middle 'thirties, smaller wheels of American design, with up to sixteen two-seater cars and of all-metal construction, began to appear in our coastal amusement parks. Later, in the immediate post-war period, the smaller of these (the twelve-car version) became popular as a travelling pro- position and as such was described in our issue of August 13, 1954. Since that article was prepared, several operators have eased the moving operation by semi permanently building the base frame and the lower parts of the standards on a heavy road wagon. Fundamentally, however, the travelling Big Wheel remains as Peter Mundy saw it. During August, 1956, however, the British Isles; saw for the first time a device which may well mark a new " Big Wheel" era for our fairgrounds. It was brought over from France and erected for the last few weeks of the Battersea Park season; it consists of a Big Wheel mounted on a large roller bearing turntable. The resultant of the two continuous rotations is quite unlike the motion of any known previous amusement machine in being spherical. The device therefore represents a definite advance in fairground engineering design. In accordance with modern practice, welded tubular construction is extensively employed, and other components are of pressed steel. Timber is utilised only in the circular loading platform and steps. The example seen in Battersea Park, which is illustrated on this page, has fourteen cars, each seating four persons. The diameter of the wheel is about 50ft and its axis is about 36ft above ground level. The diameter of the base turntable also is about 36ft. The accompanying drawing shows the basic construction of the machine. The fixed base comprises a circular channel girder rail A, in five sections fish plated together, carried on the stepped ends of twelve radial members B, and between them, packed from the ground at frequent intervals. It is surrounded by a series of fencing sections C with, in four places, breaks for step sections D. Contrary to usual amusement machine practice, a fixed annular walkway is not provided. The revolving superstructure is mounted on eighteen members 'E', which radiate from the central hub. Twelve of these members carry at their outer end a single flanged roller F running on the circular rail A. To the outer ends of the remaining six (which are equidistant) are secured plate assemblies G, which accommodate bearings for similar flanged rollers, but arranged in pairs. The six assemblies extend upwards to carry anchorages. For the feet of the four members J which support, and the two members L which stay, the wheel axle. The members E are spaced radially by light links H; and the upper faces of these members and links support an overall circular wooden platform made in eighteen segments. In previous Big Wheel practice, each bearing of the axle has been mounted on an upright column, which withstood the entire vertical load, and was stayed by three comparatively light inclined members. Such an arrangement, if used in this new machine, would have demanded a second set of rollers running on a circular track within the one already described; these rollers and their track being capable of carrying the weight of the wheel and standards concentrated at two points. This arrangement has been avoided by eliminating vertical standards altogether, and instead, supporting the axle by four inclined members J with their feet pin-jointed to four of the roller plate assemblies G. The structure is rendered completely rigid by two members K (which locate the feet of the main legs J and obviate undue stress on the links H), and a pair of inclined stays L Having their feet pinned to the two remaining roller plate assemblies. It will be seen that every section of the revolving superstructure which supports any load beyond platform sections has two rollers. All the principal structural members are of welded tubular construction, adequately braced and with plated extremities where necessary. The main inclined members J are of tapering rectangular section, while the stays L and the twenty-eight spokes of the wheel itself are of tapered triangular section. The wheel is turned about its horizontal axis by normal " Big Wheel" driving gear; an endless cable passing round deep-grooved carriers P on the spokes, the driving pulley and a tensioning pulley. Rotation of the superstructure about the vertical axis is effected by powering a pair of flanged rollers at the foot of one of the four main legs J. One quarter of the weight of the wheel and its supports is therefore utilised for adhesion, and this appears to be adequate; at the same time the simplicity of one motor drive is retained. The axles of the two rollers concerned are connected by universally jointed shafts to a pair of short parallel shafts M. These shafts are coupled by belt and one is belt-driven by a motor N set beneath the platform and bolted to two of the radial members E. Sets of slip rings and brushes are provided on the centre pivot; in the space between the inner ends of the fixed radial members B and their revolving counterparts E, to convey power and lighting current to the superstructure. The control point for both motors is located near the foot of one main leg. The absence of vertical standards means that the central portion of the platform is free from obstruction, and access steps Q for the cars can be provided on a more adequate scale than with a conventional machine. This lessens a serious inherent disadvantage of all Big Wheel machines, namely, slowness of unloading and loading. The fourteen cars are circular in plan and although, as a concession to present day imaginative taste, they depict "Flying Saucers," they are suspended so as to remain always upright, in precisely the manner of those seen by Peter Mundy over three hundred years ago. Reproduced from "The Engineer" dated March 22, 1957

For a beginner, dog training can sometimes be intimidating. While there are some things you need to know, there are plenty of resources for a beginner at dog training. We've kept it simple, and have provided you with just a few of the important basics that will help you get started training your pup in the easiest way possible.
Always be consistent when you are training your dog. Make a list of the commands that you are teaching your dog, and be sure that everyone in your household knows them. Reward your dog for following commands. Do not reward your dog if he doesn't obey. By having different responses from different people will most likely confuse the dog, which may make the training more problematic.
Make sure that your dog is well prepared for trips to the veterinarian. Gently pass your hands over his entire body, praising him when he responds well. Get him accustomed to being poked at, having his paws examined and teeth inspected in a friendly manner. Ask your friends to help out, as well.
Your dog can be trained optimally if he gets the same treatment from all of the people around him. For example, everyone should walk away if he or she starts to bite so that he or she knows that it is unacceptable. Your dog needs consistent lessons everyday. If a dog is treated differently by his trainers, he will become confused and unsure of the correct behaviors.
Dogs have natural destructive behavior, so provide outlets for them to exercise their natural behaviors. Any dog requires a healthy diet, room to move about freely and constant stimulation.
Before you hire a specialist who has expertise in animal behavior, do your homework on their reputation and interview them too. Animal behavior professionals tend to have different opinions on how to train a dog correctly. That is why it is important that the trainer you hire is in agreement with your own techniques, before they use their techniques on your dog.
If you are training your dog, always associate the exact same word or phrase with the same action or behavior. All dogs will respond better when a behavior or action is associated with only one word. It is important to be consistent. Your success rate in training your pet will be higher if you follow these guidelines.
While training your dog, it pays to use irresistible treats as rewards. You may even opt to give them they would not usually have, such as hotdogs or ice cream.
Dogs should never be tied up close to each other. Doing so could cause injuries to the dogs if they become entangled in the chains and attempt to free themselves. It can even be fatal if you tie a large dog up with a small dog, and the large dog ends up getting a chain wrapped around the small dog's neck.
Dogs have a tendency to zone in on one particular thing until something else grabs their attention. With enough training, your dog should be able to pay more attention to your orders.
Now that you know the techniques you need to train your dog, it's time to get down to business! If you've struggled to determine the right place to start your training efforts, you now have a clear answer.

Book Review: Paris in Love by Eloisa James
Book Review by Jane Ichord, Information Services Librarian
Want to take a break from your job, leave your house behind and move to Paris? If you're like me, your first answer is "Yes!" and your second answer is "I can't!", then follow my lead and pick up a copy of "Paris In Love: A Memoir" by Eloisa James instead. It's the perfect outlet for living vicariously. James, a professor and writer of historical romances, documents her sabbatical year in the City of Love and Lights. During the course of the year, she eats and shops her way through Paris, offering her audience a glimpse of daily life croissant by croissant. As with any good read, there's plenty of conflict on which to report — James' European life is not all fun and games: her husband and kids are along for the ride. There are anecdotes about navigating Parisian schools, surviving ordinary marital spats in foreign territory, and gaining perspective on those less economically fortunate.
James' account is the perfect T or beach read, packed with abbreviated vignettes that, in fact, started out as Facebook posts. It's my idea of the perfect summer escape; shopping without spending, eating without the calories, and the right mix of adventure and reality to keep me from canceling my week at the beach and booking a one-way flight to Paris.

Kenny Chesney, 'Pirate Flag' – Lyrics Uncovered
It sounds like Kenny Chesney has more warm-weather radio gold on his hands, thanks to the catchy 'Pirate Flag' lyrics.
It sounds like Kenny Chesney has more warm-weather radio gold on his hands, thanks to the catchy 'Pirate Flag' lyrics.
George Strait is getting set to wrap up the 2013 leg of his two-year farewell tour in his home town of San Antonio, but he'll be back next year -- and 'warns' fans to expect the unexpected.
Kenny Chesney is often celebrated as one of the most successful touring acts across all genres -- he could easily sell out NYC's Madison Square Garden, the World's Most Famous Arena, with relative ease.
It's time for you to enact your membership in the No Shoes Nation! With his new album 'Life on a Rock' in stores now and a plenty of summer tour dates on the horizon, there's no time like the present for you to wave the 'Pirate Flag' and think about seeing country superstar Kenny Chesney on his No Shoes Nation Tour. And we're here to help make that dream a reality.
Along with the rest of the world, Kenny Chesney was stunned by the news of what happened at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013. So many musicians reacted with love and support, sending their best wishes to all of the victims. In the midst of such tragedy and confusion, the 'Pirate Flag' hitmaker decided to take action, establishing Spread the Love: A Fund for Boston.
Kenny Chesney's 'Life on a Rock' album is as revealing of a record as 'Be as You Are' -- more so in some ways. The songwriting isn't as sharp as the 2005 project (the most closely comparable to 'Life on a Rock' in style and substance), but the experiences are as mixed and honest.
What happens when you put country star Kenny Chesney and comedian Ellen DeGeneres together? You get lots of laughter and a whole lot of fun, plus a lot of drinking.
You'll have to wait until April 30 to buy Kenny Chesney's latest album, 'Life on a Rock,' but if you're anxious to hear the award-winning country star's latest work, you're in luck. Chesney is letting fans stream the entire new album beginning today.
After a great first run in Nashville last year, the Southern Ground Music and Food Festival will return to Music City September 27-28, 2013. Of course, Zac Brown Band will be back with a host of friends from country music and other genres to make this year's sensory experience even better.
With the brutal attacks at the Boston Marathon this week so fresh in everyone's mind, it's inevitable that people are thinking more in terms of personal safety than usual -- and country music superstar Kenny Chesney is no exception.

J Roc the Legend's TOP HIP HOP SINGLES
Tyga - "Molly"
"This beat is dope! Tyga and Wiz have nice flows on this one. This will hit hard in the clubs or sure."J Roc the Legend's Rating: Posted on Jan 30, 2013
Wiz Khalifa - "Remember You"
"I like this one as a single for Wiz even though the Weeknd outshines Wiz by quite a bit. Sounds like it used to be a Weeknd track and then Wiz took it for himself and threw a verse or two on there. Nevertheless, good way to take advantage of a hot alternative sound."J Roc the Legend's Rating: Posted on Oct 10, 2012
Pusha T - "Pain"
"Its about time Kanye got back behind the boards! He's still got some sick beats on him! Pusha T sounded good on this one. Shockingly enough, Future actually sounded okay on this one as well. I wouldn't make this a single, but a track like this would definitely add quality to his solo album. I've always thought that Pusha would have the most issues with finding a good radio single, though, so we'll see how that turns out soon."J Roc the Legend's Rating: Posted on Oct 10, 2012
Wiz Khalifa - "Work Hard Play Hard (Remix)"
"Good remix. Nothin stands out like crazy but I liked all the flows on this one. I would say Wiz had the best flow out of the three though."J Roc the Legend's Rating: Posted on Aug 27, 2012
E-40 - "Function (Coast to Coast Remix)"
"I'm liking the subtle changes on the beat. This is a real REMIX! Chris Brown and Young Jeezy did well on the track. Red Cafe and French Montana weren't necessary, but they didn't hurt the song."J Roc the Legend's Rating: Posted on Aug 27, 2012

Tito Santana
Real Name
Merced Solis
Date of Birth
May 10, 1953
Place of Birth
During a recent interview, Bret Hart revealed that he was supposed to wrestle the Ultimate Warrior at Royal Rumble 1993. Since he had some backstage heat with Vince McMahon, Warrior ended up leaving the company before the pay per view, so Hart ended up defending the WWE heavyweight championship against Scott Hall instead.
March 21, 2014
During a recent and rare interview, Tito Santana bashed WWE for not pushing his El Matador gimmick. He stated that he was not initially crazy about the idea, but he was still dedicated enough to travel down to Mexico to learn to be an actual bullfighter. Santana felt that the gimmick was very much over with the audience, so he feels that WWE missed an opportunity by not pushing him into the main event scene.
October 6, 2014
A new sitcom called Wrestling With Joeylicious, and as the name suggests, it is centered around the world of professional wrestling. The lead character clings on to his dreams by working at low level independent wrestling shows. Producers have managed to sign Roddy Piper, Mick Foley, Tito Santana and Jimmy Snuka to make an appearance on the show. They will each be portraying themselves.
September 25, 2014
Several guys who played college football for West Texas A&M University went on to become professional wrestlers, and one of those guys was Merced Solis, better known to WWE fans as Tito Santana. He played the tight end position, and his quarterback was future Four Horsemen member Tully Blanchard.
February 7, 2014
Prior to becoming a professional wrestler, Tully Blanchard was quite the athlete in college. He played football at West Texas State University, where the legendary Four Horsemen member was teammates with Ted DiBiase and Tito Santana. Blanchard started off as a quarterback for the team before being moved to defensive end.
January 14, 2014
In a tag team grudge match at Wrestlemania 2, Terry Funk and Dory Funk Jr, accompanied by Jimmy Hart, were able to defeat Tito Santana and the Junkyard Dog.
April 7, 1986
In the opening match at Wrestlemania 1, Tito Santana defeated Buddy Rose, who was working underneath a mask as the Executioner, after applying the Figure Four leg lock. The match itself lasted less than five minutes, but it will forever be historic because it was the first match of the night.
March 31, 1985

"Great opportunity for those that keep marketing "
- Comp & Benefits

- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at US National Guard full-time (more than 10 years)Pros
If you have a boss who'll support you, there is no limit to the areas you can tackle. While some folks sit back and coast, you have a lot of leeway if you want it. If you don't have a supportive boss, expect to be told to sit still and draw within the lines.Cons
Maybe most places are like this but you really need to market yourself here. Not in a showy, self agrandizing way (no place likes those kinds of spotlight rangers) but in a "if no one knows what you are doing then it doesn't matter". Don't expect to be pushed to do new things- you have to push yourself.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Stop shifting personnel with less than 24 months in position. Turn over within a year is a waste for the guy who left, the guy who is leaving, and the new guy coming in (to say nothing about those around them). Also, do not change an entire chain of command within one year. The loss of historical knowledge will set everyone back.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

NJ Man Looking to Buy Marijuana Accidentally Texts Cop
A New Jersey man looking to buy marijuana is under arrest after accidentally text messaging a cop. Police Chief John Pelura III said Friday that an off-duty corporal received the text message on his personal cell phone this week.
Pelura said the suspect had misdialed a number, getting the cell phone of Cpl. Christopher Pew instead of his dealer.
"Basically in the text, he described what vehicle he was driving and where they would meet," Pelura said.
Pew says he didn't know who sent him the text, or whether or not it was serious. So, he agreed to meet the texter at a local shopping center in a sting operation.
That later led to the arrest of 22-year-old John Milligan and 20-year-old Kelly Reilly of Pennsville. The pair has been charged with loitering to commit a controlled dangerous substance offense. They were both arrested and released on a summons complaint.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Former University of Washington forward Veronica Perez playing for Mexico in World Cup
Veronica Perez, a former Huskies player who is no a volunteer assistant coach at UW, is playing for Mexico at the Women's World Cup.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Former University of Washington forward Veronica Perez is representing Mexico at the 2011 Women's World Cup in Germany. Perez, a volunteer assistant coach for the Huskies, recently answered questions from The Seattle Times via email. Mexico earned an impressive 1-1 tie against England in its first group-stage game Monday.
Q: What has being in the World Cup been like so far? Any moments stand out?
Perez: "It's an experience I will never forget. I'm 23 years old and living my dream. Nothing beats that. I get to play football every day, I'm surrounded by some of my best friends, and I'm traveling the world meeting new people and experiencing their cultures.
"Beach training in Acapulco was awesome. Our team competed and trained harder than ever. I really felt that it was the camp that brought us together and showed how committed and hungry we are to compete in this huge event. Also scoring a goal on my birthday (against Costa Rica) was pretty sweet."
Q: What does your World Cup-qualifying goal against the U.S. mean to you?
Perez: "It's a very special moment for me. We upset the No. 1 team in the world in our house in front of our fans. It's crazy. Sometimes I'll daydream about it and just think, "Wow. We actually did that."
Q: Mexico hadn't qualified for a Women's World Cup in quite some time. What kind of support have you received?
Perez: "Yes, it's been 12 years since the '99 World Cup in USA. We have received so much positive support in Mexico. From our fans, federation, general public, etc. It's an exciting time for our program. We've changed peoples' perspective of women's football in our country and us players are extremely proud of that."
Q: Any support from UW or Seattle?
Perez: "Of course! I'm always getting support from my second home. I get calls, emails, texts, messages all the time giving me positive feedback. My friends and family from Seattle are awesome. My UW coaches are RVing throughout Germany during the World Cup and will be at my Japan game. One of my best friends from my UW team will also be there."
Q: You were born in California, have played in the U.S., what's it like representing Mexico? Any conflicting emotions?
Perez: "It's not a factor for me anymore. My story is I'm Mexican-American. I was born in the U.S. and I'm proud of that. It's my home. But I'm also Mexican and I'm proud of that. I have dual citizenship. It's an honor to represent Mexico. I'm blessed to have been given the opportunity from the FMF to be a part of their program."
Q: What is the attitude of the team now that the tournament is under way?
Perez: "Every game will present its challenges. We're going to take it day by day, game by game. We proud of all the work, training and preparation we have put in. Now it's just the matter of applying all that come game time."

HUDSON, Wis. (AP) -- Police in western Wisconsin say a Hudson Golf Course employee from Minnesota suffered severe head injuries when a 55-gallon drum exploded.
Hudson authorities say a UPS driver found Chad Wang of Spring Valley, Minn., semi-conscious on the floor Friday afternoon. The 35-year-old was lying in a pool of blood.
Police said Saturday the injury was apparently the result of an accidental explosion. They say Wang was using an acetylene torch to open the sealed drum, which had a small volume of oil inside. An explosion caused the lid to shoot upward and hit him in the head.
Authorities say Wang may have been on the floor for as long as several hours before he was found.
A message left at Regions Hospital inquiring about Wang's condition Saturday wasn't immediately returned.
