Kris Humphries, Kim Kardashian's soon-to-be ex-husband, may be having the worst day ever.
Not only is Kardashian -- Humphries' wife of just 72 days -- reportedly filing for divorce Monday, but the free agent who was most recently a power forward for the New Jersey Nets also revealed that he lost thousands in a hedge fund scam. Humphries invested hundreds of thousands of dollars with Andrey Hicks' Locust Offshore Management, a fraudulent hedge fund that ultimately raised $1.6 million from investors like Humphries, Fin Alternatives reports.
A federal judge froze the assets of Hicks' fund last week, after accusing him of lying to investors about the existence of a fund in the British Virgin Islands, according to the Boston Business Journal. Hicks -- who was a guest at Humphries' and Kardashian's multi-million dollar wedding ceremony -- also claimed to be an alumnus of Harvard; in fact, he failed out of the prestigious school after three semesters.
Humphries isn't the first athlete to get hit by investment scams. Former Washington Redskin Art Monk fell victim to an investment scam run by his former teammate Terry Orr, according to U.S. News and World. Former Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway was one of more than 60 investors swindled in a Denver-area hedge fund scheme, the Denver Post reports. Kirk Wright, an Atlanta-area hedge fund manager accused of scamming $150 million from clients including several NFL players, killed himself in his jail cell after being convicted of 47 counts of fraud and money laundering, according to The New York Times.
Scam artists have become so proficient at preying on athletes that NFL rookies had to undergo financial literacy courses as part of the league's annual rookie symposium last year, according to the Associated Press. The aim of the course is to help the players weed through the "inevitable 'sure thing' opportunities touted by friends and acquaintances," the AP reports.
But, non-athlete celebrities aren't immune to falling victim to investment scam artists. Famed director Steven Spielberg, Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel and actor Kevin Bacon were all swindled by Bernie Maddoff's $65 billion Ponzi scheme, according to Bankrate.com. Famed investment advisor Ken Starr -- whose client list included celebrities such as Uma Thurman and Martin Scorsese -- was arrested by IRS agents last year for investment fraud and tax fraud, among other charges, according to Gawker.
"I've said numerous times, 'I haven't had plastic surgery, I haven't had butt implants.' ... "Who the hell of a normal person gets butt implants?" ... "I'm so glad I did this x-ray. The whole world has been doubting me -- this is the best thing I could've done." -- Kim Kardashian on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians"
"Hey dolls. The PROOF is in the X-ray. Kim's ass is 100% real!!!" -- Khloe Kardashian on her Celebuzz blog.
"She hears what everyone says - even reading the smallest blogs out there - and listens. But you know what? Our family is Armenian, we all have big butts." -- Rob Kardashian to Details magazine.
"For a while now I've had this unsettling feeling... Like the universe was slightly out of whack. I couldn't pin-point the source of the feeling, but then it hit me: no one has really been saying much about Kim Kardashian's butt lately ... Unbeknownst to me, the entire world will not stop with the crack about her butt- its voracity, so to speak. Will an x-ray really help us get to the bottom of this world crisis? I'm thinking that we need some kind of control group." -- Anderson Cooper on CNN
"I see ridiculous stories about my butt, like how it has been insured ... I feel like saying, 'Hey, everyone has a butt. It's not that big a deal!' But I suppose it's flattering. Personally, I've always loved the curvy look. Even when I was a little girl and all my friends would be like, 'Oh, my god, your butt's so big.' And I'd say, 'I love it.'" -- Kim Kardashian to Cosmopolitan UK.
"Rumors don't bother me anymore ... I've read that I've had my lips done. I've always had big lips. Look at my baby pictures. It's ridiculous. Or they'll show one picture of me today and one tomorrow, and say I've had my nose done in between. When? Didn't you just see me yesterday? And how many times have I 'had my butt done'? People's logic is so weird. I don't know why they bother! You can't worry about all the gossip." -- Kim Kardashian to SELF Magazine
"I think he likes my lips ... And he likes, obviously, my butt." -- Kim Kardashian on what body part her fiance Kris Humphris likes most.
"There's constant interest in my bottom! The paparazzi always want 'butt' shots, girls come up to me and grab it, and people ask to squeeze it. I sometimes think: 'Everyone's got a butt, why do you care about mine?'" -- Kim Kardashian via StarPulse
"I don't get why everyone is always going on about my butt ... I'm Armenian. It's normal. My butt is probably not as big as you might think, because I have small legs and a small waist, which makes it appear bigger." -- Kim Kardashian to Harper's Bazaar.
"It's real and jiggly and I wish it was firmer." -- Kim Kardashian on "The Wendy Williams Show"

As of Monday, May 13, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Trailblazing broadcast journalist Barbara Walters, known for her interviews with world leaders and celebrities and the first woman to co-anchor a U.S. evening news program, said on Monday she will retire in the summer of 2014.
With tears in her eyes, Walters, 83, announced her upcoming resignation on "The View," the all-woman show she created in 1997.
"I have been on television for over 50 years," she said as her co-hosts watched. "In the summer of 2014 I plan to retire from appearing on television."
Walters described her career as amazing, fascinating, and sometimes bumpy. She said she is healthy and it was her decision to retire.
"This is what I want to do," she said as the audience applauded. "I've had an amazing career."
Until her retirement she will anchor and report for ABC and continue to work on "The View." Walters will also host a "20 Years of the 10 Most Fascinating People" special in December, an Oscars special, and a May career retrospective.
ABC sources said in March that, after more than five decades on U.S. television, Walters planned to retire in May 2014.
"There's only one Barbara Walters," ABC News President Ben Sherwood said in a statement ahead of her official announcement.
"And we look forward to making her final year on television as remarkable, path-breaking and news-making as Barbara herself. Barbara will always have a home at ABC News and we look forward to a year befitting her brilliant career, filled with exclusive interviews, great adventures and indelible memories," he added.
Walters had open heart surgery in 2010. She fainted, hit her head and suffered a concussion in January, and was then diagnosed with chicken pox, causing her to miss more than a month of work.
During her long career Walters was a leader for women journalists and said she hoped that her career had inspired other women to make a career in television.
Walters is known for her interviews on U.S. television with world leaders including Cuba's Fidel Castro, Britain's Margaret Thatcher, Saddam Hussein of Iraq and every U.S. president since Richard Nixon.
Walters also interviewed celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor, Angelina Jolie and Tom Cruise and hosted a yearly special TV show about the 10 most fascinating people of the year.
Walters, who has been with the ABC television network for 37 years, started her career in television journalism in 1961 as a writer on NBC's "Today." She later became the first woman to co-host.
In 1976, she became the first woman to co-anchor a television evening news broadcast on any U.S. network for "ABC Evening News." Walters has also worked as a producer and host of the ABC news magazine "20/20" and as a correspondent for ABC News.

Who gives a big rip? but, I do have a question? If you are going to retire and you are not head of an entity that needs a succession plan, why not go on an go? What is the big deal? Oprah? Regis? Barbara? Tonight Show? The public couldn't care less.
kevin 2 years, 4 months ago
Time for new blood, just like in Congress & Gwinnett.
Haughton 2 years, 4 months ago
SurelyNot you make a valid point. The same accolades that are written about her now as she "retires" will be written when she passes away. We need less of this filler - fluff from the entertainment industry.
jack 2 years, 4 months ago
By going on a "retirement tour", so to speak, she will be able to freely advocate any position or agenda she wishes, without the muzzle of sponsors or programming executives.
kevin 2 years, 4 months ago
She is very correct when she says "she has been around.."

MenAfriVac, first vaccine developed specifically for Africa
Developed by the MVP partnership between the WHO and PATHwith support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation―the meningococcal A conjugate vaccine MenAfriVac provides African health authorities, for the first time, with an affordable, long-term solution that protects even young children against meningitis A (group A Neisseria meningitidis).
MenAfriVac was developed to meet the need in Africa for a safe, effective, and affordable vaccine. The vaccine is now being tested on children who are less than one year of age to ensure it can be included safely in the routine vaccination programs, according to Godwin Enwere.
"If we can immunize the infants, then we will be able to make exponential progress in preventing epidemics because all the age groups most at risk of disease will be protected for a significant period of time," said Enwere, who is the author of a paper being presented on the infant study at the ASTMH conference.
The rapid development of MenAfriVac has happened thanks in large part to SIIL, which worked closely with partners to overcome the 20-year lag between the time a vaccine is approved for use in wealthy nations and when it is used in the nations that suffer from the greatest burden of disease.

Sometimes the wisdom of our commissioners astounds me, but, in a rather convoluted way, sometimes it make sense, like in the case of medical marijuana being only dispensed in incorporated areas.
In Lyon County, those would be Fernley and Yerington. One could venture the thought that most folks needing marijuana for medicinal purposes reside there. Being this is a political issue, there is probably a more mundane purpose behind the proposed ordinance: bringing people into the incorporated towns to possibly spend money while there!
I am holding out less and less hope every year for the moral health of our country. Of course, the commissioners also can use this as a reason to not fund drug enforcement since marijuana is now legal.
I wonder where the acceptance of mind-altering drugs by the general population is going to stop. Are we going to hold parties when our children start using drugs, including alcohol? I can picture a small child being taken to one of these drug dispensary for relief of common aches and pains, after all what is good for a parent is good for their children. I know parents who have given mind-altering drugs to their children without a second thought.
When your child comes home basically out of their mind due to drug use, do you shrug it off because you have been in that state yourself many times? Do you have a sense of pride while watching your child spiral down into hopeless addiction? I cannot help but think this is where our world is headed due to the easy acceptance of drugs by people who have adopted the attitude that we cannot control it, so give up fighting it.
I recently had to deal with a woman who is so far gone due to drug and alcohol use as to not be able to take care of herself at all, and she is only in her 40s.
What a waste of a life.
It looks like Putin has pulled Obama's chestnuts out of the fire with his apparent brokerage of a deal to have Syria turn over its stockpile of outlawed weapons of mass destruction to Russia. Along with that, Putin has said if the U.S. bombed Syria, it would send massive amounts of arms to Iran. The little man is sure throwing his weight around.
I have said Russian policy is to try to reclaim what its leader thinks is its rightful place as a world power; spoiler is more like it. If Putin truly had world peace in mind, Russia would be shipping foods and medical supplies to the conflict, not arms. As long as Russia continues to seek a position of power rather than peace, there will be none.
I can understand the American public's reluctance to get into another conflict, especially when it is so difficult to determine who are the bad guys and we do not need to be wasting our people on vague goals.
What is it about animal fanatics? I do not say lovers, because if they were they would be trying to limit the number of so-called pets filling animal shelters to overflowing. Pet owners are feeding their pets food of better quality than half the world's population of humans get and more of it at that. People spend billions on their pets and literally next to nothing on keeping the pet population under control.
Horse lovers will raise cain over the roundups of feral horses, yet they offer nothing in the way of meaningful funding to the agencies to support their suggestions. Meanwhile, people are coming under attack by horses invading subdivisions because there is no feed left in more remote locations. A child was kicked in the face by one of these "harmless" creatures this week. I don't see any effort by horse lovers to raise funding to help with medical bills of the child.
It is as if animal lovers have more feelings for critters than they do for their fellow human beings. One of our friends is so focused on animals, she volunteered to take a bat home someone had caught when it flew into a window and was knocked out.
It turns out the bat was rabid, and she and her husband are undergoing the shots necessary when it is possible they might have contracted the disease.

Re: YouTube to launch professionally produced channels
Basically, it looks like YouTube's pro channels are going to slot in between premium cable content - pricey content for niche audiences that advertisers want - and YouTube's standard un-premium content - free (to YouTube) content for niche audiences that advertisers don't want or know what to do with.
So that gives YouTube a way to attract advertisers, but at the expense of simply imitating the TV business, and that's a business that has plenty of ills. Does YouTube really want to reinvent a wheel that's covered with patches and almost flat?
I guess it makes sense that someone should fill in the vast space between Boardwalk Empire and Annoying Orange, but I certainly hope that isn't the end of YouTube's ambitions. It's something they should do, since they can do it, and there's some money to be made, but the real future of their business lies elsewhere.
The problem with their pro content is that it ignores the biggest strengths YouTube has: 1) being able to get free content from their users (making money of the unpaid efforts of others, pretty sweet); 2) having the ability to feed virtually unlimited content* to every user; and 3) the fact that they are on an interactive medium.
*Meaning, YouTube can give any individual person more content that they find personally interesting than they can ever hope to consume in one lifetime - that's in effect, unlimited content.
The pro content will be cheap to YouTube but not free. Going to pro's means that you drastically limit the number of people producing the content, so that firehose stream is being ratcheted down to a garden hose. But the worst thing is that as far as I can tell, the content will be the old non-interactive TV model, just pushed to viewers.
The pro content could just as easily be made for a channel on regular cable TV - why does it need to be on the internet? It's not taking advantage of what the internet can do.
YouTube needs to start thinking of its whole site as its business, including the users and their comments and ratings. They have integrated channels into their business, but the comments section is still embarrassing across the board and inhibits community.
If YouTube could lock in a true community of millions of users - people who have elements of their online habits and identity invested in the site - that's the best possible guarantee against competitors. Another company could imitate YouTube's structure, but it's hard to build a community, especially if there's a big, jazzy, attractive one they're already invested in.
In addition to keeping community at the forefront of their mind when they think about their business, they need to focus on interactivity. That goes hand in hand with community, since giving people stuff to do beyond passive viewing is what will lock in that community.
They should think of videos as just the start to what their business will grow into, and think in terms of contests and games. For instance, they could put up challenges in various niche categories, such as what we see here on a regular basis, people making their own sci fi shows.
That would tap into something they're in danger of forgetting, that their business runs on economics of abundance, as opposed to the economics of scarcity that Hollywood runs on (there's some discussion of that in the article).
But by going to just Hollywood professionals for content, they're right back to the economics of scarcity - they are tapping into a much smaller talent pool than they could. For every pro video maker in Hollywood, how many dozens or hundreds or thousands have the same talent but just don't happen to know the right people? There's your economics of abundance, right under your nose!
I've read comments sections about the YouTube announcement that boil down to the same thing: what a load of crap. I don't want to watch any of that. That may not be as bad a sign as it appears, since it's the nature of narrowcasting to appeal to only a small number of people, so any given person should look at that list and find most of it is not for them. But looking at the list, I can't help but think there are a lot of narrow niches that are simply not present at all, and way too much celebrity and comedy stuff that TV and YouTube already has covered.

Re: YouTube to launch professionally produced channels
This is really all about advertisers. TV was invented as a way to corral audiences for advertisers. YouTube is having trouble convincing advertisers that their audiences are worth reaching because their content is embarrassing and the idiotic comments sections probably aren't helping.
Since YouTube has already corralled an audience, the real job is to sort the audience into groups that are useful to advertisers, and the content is used to do that. But are comedy and celebrity shows really the best way to do that? Why aren't the advertisers just stepping in, as in the early days of TV, and shepherding their own shows through the process, that are designed to attract the audience they want?
Probably because advertisers are just as behind the times as Hollywood and can't be bothered to think about YouTube and the opportunities it offers. It just looks like a bunch of stupid kids and their cat videos. The real revolution doesn't need to be in TV or YouTube video, it needs to be in advertising. Internet advertising is shameful - crappy banners everyone hates and stupid videos that are just brought over from TV and not at all adapted to the medium.
One of these days, advertisers will start to get smart. Maybe they need to organize into associations, so that the smaller companies that don't have budget for national TV campaigns, can pool their resources into a YouTube focused campaign. For instance, there have to be horse videos on YouTube, right? And there's a whole industry of companies that make stuff for horses and horse enthusiasts.
Why aren't those advertisers being matched with content, with the types of content that the advertisers like, encouraged through contests aimed at getting the current users to make better quality videos? Ten thousand small businesses for the horse industry can't afford to buy national TV advertising, but they would have a hefty budget by YouTube standards. They could be subdivided regionally for businesses where location counts (stables, large gear, etc) and not for internet-based businesses.
And that's just one specialized industry. Think of all the other ones that exist, all across the country. Every one of them is a massive opportunity.
Crap, this is getting long again, sorry...

Anyway...I guess the old way is the best way until someone can find a lucrative alternative...ad money pays the bills...but it isn't friendly to shows with a smaller audience.

Re: YouTube to launch professionally produced channels
The thing about YT is that it draws on the collective creativity of a huge mass of people and offers a way to sort through that mass of stuff to find exactly what the individual wants.
YT could stand to improve their sorting mechanisms; right now, I mainly find stuff by word of mouth, which is far too clumsy. I should be able to discover stuff I like within YT itself, yet I'm continually frustrated in my attempts to do that. (Can someone tell me how I can inform YT once and for all that I will never be interested in Justin Beiber or Lady Gaga?)
To short-circuit YT's development process and pay people to develop content is just recreating what traditional TV already does, only cheaper and crappier. Yeah, there's probably a market for that, but it's regressing, not moving forward.
It's not really solving the core problem of how to turn YT's system into a profit-making machine. YT needs to find a way to link paying advertisers to user-generated content. They're just evading the issue with pro content.
Possibly, the pro content initiative is tactical - a way of establishing relationships with premium advertisers and giving YT some credibility. But I don't think premium advertisers (the national brands - Ford, Geico, Burger King, et al) are their natural customer.
Instead, they should follow the lead of their parent company. AdSense works by tapping into the huge network of smaller advertisers who will never have a budget like Ford to do TV advertising with.
AdSense gives them a way of associating their companies with search. Now YT can potentially do the same with information, entertainment, and a like-minded community of people. (Note how I didn't say "video" - there's no reason YT needs to stop with video content or define themselves in such limited terms. Why couldn't they compete with Zynga in online social gaming, for instance?)
So if you want to make $$$ off YT's business, figure out a way to solve the problem that YT is dancing around. Who are the networks of smaller advertisers all over the country (or the world in some cases) that could be corralled into a system that can efficiently pair them with content that attracts the audience they want?
It's really about building up fan communities on YT that are associated with paying advertisers. The way Chuck fandom latched onto Subway is a good example - the product placement became ever more crass, and that was actually part of the joke. It didn't cause a backlash on Subway. Instead, they just seemed cooler by being in on the joke.
But Subway is one of those big national advertisers, and traditional TV is already shaped to serve their interest. YT would be foolish to compete with a mature business. The way to extend this to YT is to figure out how some little mom & pop deli can get the same benefit that Subway did.
There are thousands all cross the country, and individually they can't afford TV advertising. Let's assume that they're at least as savvy as an AdSense advertiser - they understand the internet and they how to use a computer. Maybe they already are AdSense advertisers, that would simplify contacting them. How can they be efficiently paired up with content generators in a way that bolsters their brand and business, and creates a community online?

I can't tell whether YT has done the former, because they haven't done the latter. There may be all sorts of great stuff for me in that mess, but if I can't find it, it may as well not exist.

Re: YouTube to launch professionally produced channels
TV is full of absolute s#! te nowdays, with companies broadcasting the cheapest and most lackluster plot s#!te ever just to try and get the publics attention... who cares about good storyline, actual plot continuity or characters you actually like?
Seems TV nowdays is all about celebrities (and i use the term in the loosest possible sense here), kareoke competitions and who can make themselves look like the biggest idiot on TV... no surprise more people are turning to the internet than ever before...
In Russia, a 122 year old man has passed away, he credited his long life to abtaining from alcohol, tobacco and women. His last words were "I've made a huge mistake."

Re: YouTube to launch professionally produced channels
-Video uploaders/channel owners are expected to do the work of managing their own communities. That makes sense - YT doesn't have the resources to babysit that squalling horde. Let's hope the pro producers understand that they're not just producing video, they're also inheriting a mass of foul-mouthed kiddies of all ages.
-Just as I suspected, YouTube doesn't really expect pro content to take over. It's just a way of establishing relationships with big advertisers by offering them something familiar. Maybe the pro content will just turn out to be a blip, but by then the YT ad sales people will have the right cards in their rolodexes, so who cares?
In an ideal universe, YT would love to get Ford to advertise on cat videos (and who's to say that wouldn't work just as well as advertising on sitcoms and cop shows?) Cat videos are free for YT, and pro content costs them money.

Apple files for 34 multi-touch patents
updated 04:10 pm EDT, Thu July 3, 2008
Apple multi-touch patents
The US Patent and Trademark Office today published approximately 34 applications from Apple, all of which relate to multi-touch technology. Among these are a means of covering necessary hardware from view, to make devices more visually appealing; a means of distinguishing whether a screen is being touched by flesh or other forms of input, such as a fingernail; and in particular, a unique Apple design for a capacitive touch sensor.
The remainder of patents typically refer to refinements and other necessary supporting technologies, but one of these, "Simultaneous Sensing Arrangement," contains a figure which suggests that Apple expects multi-touch on a range of devices, beyond just phones, iPods and notebooks. These may include UMPCs and full-sized desktops.

As more dead birds were reported in close proximity, the software would generate daily maps of areas at high risk for human infection, providing an early warning to local public health officials. The software, for example, predicted areas as high-risk more than a month before the first human cases arose, on average.
In Sacramento County, location of the largest West Nile virus epidemic in the United States that year, DYCAST helped mosquito control officials target their testing and spraying resources actions that ultimately reduced human illness, Carney said.
After 2005, the department implemented the model throughout the state, although the number of human cases and reported dead birds, along with the model's prediction rates, dropped sharply.
In 2007 Carney enrolled as a master's student at Yale and adapted the DYCAST model to track dengue fever in Brazil, using a version of the software that his CUNY collaborators had converted to an open-source platform. With the specific parameters of that disease, DYCAST was able to predict its spread in the city of Ribero Preto in Brazil, Carney said, citing unpublished data.
Carney has continued his analysis and development of DYCAST and dengue at Brown, where he is a doctoral student of ecology and evolutionary biology. He said the software at its core has potential to be adapted as an early warning system for other infectious diseases or even bioterrorism attacks.

Linux-Kongress: Keynote Videos Online
The videos show James Bottomley, Jonathan Corbet and Dirk Hohndel holding their keynotes at Linux-Kongress last week.
The director of the Linux Foundation and Linux SCSI developer, James Bottomley opened the Linux-Kongress in Hamburg, Germany this week with a keynote investigating the commonalities and differences among the various Open Source operating systems. He didn't mince words, when he called OS X a luxury jail.
In the second keynote of the Linux-Kongress in Hamburg, Germany, cofounder of LWN.net and kernel developer Jonathan Corbet presented details on yesterday's released Kernel 2.6.27, but also described some of the work Linus Torvalds and his group of hackers have been up to.
In the closing speech of the Linux Kongress in Hamburg, Intel's CTO Dirk Hohndel appealed to the developer community to orientate themselves more strongly on the needs of users.
Linux New Media has been streaming the keynotes of Linux-Kongress October 9-10 live and for free. Now the streaming videos are online and can be watched for free anytime.

I have a Ubuntu Linux system setup to run backups using rsync. It received files from various clients. I've recently added a new Centos server to the network and would like to configure that to run rsync so it can be backed up as well. On the first attempt to run the backup from the server I get the Connection refused 111 error. But when I went to check the config file on the client I noticed that it wasn't there..
Can someone give me a hand to setup rsync on Centos? I trued yum install rsync and it only updated the existing application, there is still no rsync in /etc OR init.d.

DRAPER, Utah (AP) - Utah prison officials say a firing squad has
executed convicted killer Ronnie Lee Gardner.
The 49-year-old Gardner was shot by a team of five anonymous
marksmen with a matched set of .30-caliber rifles early Friday.
Gardner, who had a white target pinned to his chest and was
strapped to a chair, was pronounced dead at 12:20 a.m.
Gardner is the first person to be executed by a firing squad in
the United States in 14 years.
Gardner was sentenced to death for a 1985 capital murder
conviction stemming from the fatal courthouse shooting of attorney
Michael Burdell during a failed escape attempt. He was at the Salt
Lake City court facing a 1984 murder charge in the shooting death
of a bartender.

10 places every kid should see
Of course, the surest way to rile folks up is to publish a list and this case was no different. Our nominations process was fierce and brought out the full range of emotions in our audience—passion, joy, sadness, anger. You spoke up to nominate 562 attractions and voted over 138,000 times.
Tired of spending layovers in an airport? Download Yahoo! TimeTraveler on your iPhone to create custom itineraries based on your location and amount of time you have to spend.
So how did we arrive at the final list? As we explained in the rules, we used your votes—combined with factors such as geographic and thematic diversity—to guide our selection-making process. And we automatically eliminated places that had made our story last year. The final list for 2012 represents the best that our nation has to offer our children.
Golden Gate Bridge
San Francisco, California
The Golden Gate Bridge is one of those quintessential American icons, equal parts eye candy and engineering lesson (it's also one of our record-breaking bridges). The suspension bridge connects San Francisco and Marin County in a mechanical feat that was unprecedented in the 1930s; at its opening ceremony, the bridge's chief engineer, Joseph Strauss, said "What Nature rent asunder long ago man has joined today." Take a walk along the pedestrian path for astonishing views of Angel Island, Alcatraz, Treasure Island, and San Francisco. If the 220-foot height of the bridge is unsettling for the little ones, opt instead to view the landmark from a distance (there are relatively tourist-free viewpoints at Lincoln Park). It might be hard to find an empty spot, though. The famed bridge is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2012-there will be fireworks and a festival on Memorial Day weekend-and is expected to draw more than ten million visitors throughout the year. 415/921-5858, goldengatebridge.org. Free.
Arches National Park
This national park is especially convenient for families whose kids may be too young for a strenuous hike. It only takes a couple hours to drive past many of the park's 2,000 brawny, pink sandstone arches. And you'll still have time to reach Moab, less than 20 miles away, for lunch. The park's real time to shine, literally, is at sunset, when Delicate Arch reflects the sunlight in blazing reds that contrast sharply with the snow-topped La Sal Mountains in the backdrop. Expect to see tons of photographers there, as if Beyoncé were about to appear. 435/719-2299, nps.gov/arch. Park entrance fee is $10 per vehicle; bike or foot entrance is $5.
The Field Museum (Photo: The Field Museum)
The Field Museum
Chicago, Illinois
Across its nine acres of floor space, the Field showcases giant robot wolf spiders, 23 Egyptian mummies, and the biggest Tyrannosaurus rex fossil ever dug up, in one of the broadest arrays of natural wonders under one roof. The collection of dioramas hold a dizzying array of species, from African lions and giraffes to Arctic penguins and polar bears, and it's a favorite childhood fantasy to slip inside one of the magical timeless worlds. Kids 12 and under can dress up like animals, dig up dinosaur bones, and explore a pueblo home at the Crown Family PlayLab. Friday nights from mid-January to mid-June, the museum hosts sleepovers, where children 6 to 12 and their parents can sleep right next to the dinosaurs (the 2012 nights are sold out, so book early for 2013). Talk about a dream vacation. 1400 S. Lake Shore Dr., 312/922-9410, fieldmuseum.org. Adults from $15; kids 3-11, from $10.

Been playing this for a month steady, sober, high drunk. Never was a big bone fan mainly coz of some of bizzy's verses. But I know my rap and you can't argue with this shit. Ridiculous lyrics and to ride a beat like that, kick a hook like that.. And in 2013.. Hats of, def in GOAT category.. big time!!
great track !
This dude KB is an absolute beast. One of the most original, consistently SICK emcees of all-time. 20 years later and this cat is still going as strong as ever. He was always the backbone of BTNH, no pun intended. Say what you want about Bizzy's style, and while the spirit of Layzie drove the group...this dude is hands down the creative force behind them. His longevity is proof positive of that. We need one more BTNH album before it's said and done, minus the pop song pressure from the labels. They need to get DJ U-Neek, Kenny McCloud, LT Hutton and JT Thomas in the studio, lock themselves in and give us a 13/14-track CLEVELAND masterpiece.
hell yeah man that would be dope
Yo this shit tough his flow is crazy on this shit.
dude is Beast as always... fuck the new school...
Bone bone bone
Mauri you is shit out my ass for you to say that
Always classic Hits
Always been the best
Krayzie Bone is the best!
Dope!! Krayzie been raw
KENDRICK LAMARR need i say more
Fuck you talkin bout.. Hopefully you sayin how Kendrick got his flow from Krayzie!?
Wow,,,he's always been dope as fuck..BUT this is so FUCKING DOPE!!! The flow.. but lyrically and syllables this dude just shit on so many ,, " lyrically emcees" ##LEGEND. he's really a top 10 solo emcee of all time,,, NO ONE CAN RAP LIKE THAT,,,flow change ups and speed change ups ,,double Time to half speed and he changes how he rides the beat like 3 times inside of one 16 bar verse,,,, THAT JOINT IS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!
Krayzie bone Btnh raw bottom line
Greatest rap groups ever 1. Bone Thugs 2. Wu tang clan 3. Outkast 4. Public Enemy 5. NWA
Onyx has GOT TO BE in that list. Saved Def Jam.
I think one last push from Bone thugs could confirm them as the greatest rap group ever. They are already most people fav as the greatest rap group ever, considering record sales fan base and still touring to this day 20 years after their career started. Also have to factor in what they have been thru and to be able to bounce back and keep rolling is amazing.
Gotta give it to him hes been around 20 years and still doing his thing with tours, feat, and hes gotta new album coming. He really did outlast most of the rappers in his era. Btnh
Krayzie was the orginator of this style fast flow mix with singing and rapid fire lyrics
Agreed.. Now we got that gay nigga ASAP Rocky tryin to do it..smh
good flow good song
that was fresh as hell
Krayzie is the illest of the BTNH fam, there is no Bone Thugs without him. I'm BUYING his album the day it drops! #legend
Krayzie Jackson aka Kray Jack Ya Boss did his thing as usual. Bone Thugs have to be one of the most underrated rap groups in history. If you follow them over the years you should notice that lyrically they've improved and can still bring the heat. They just need better promotion. As far as picking out members from the group I'd be willing to put either Krayzie or Bizzy Bone up against your favorite rapper hands down. Cleveland Stand Up!!!
look...your boys fell off. They had their time, they were much better with that dark sound that DJ Uneek brought on Creepin On Ah Come Up & E 1999. After that they went ka-plut! One hit wonder Ray Cash? Ka-plut! after "Sloppy",Ray Jr? Ka Plut! MGK? Don't get me started. I'm sorry, but Cleveland artists are not that consistent when it comes to hits. Only ones that lasted only 4 classic joints (1st of the month, Crossroads, Thuggish ruggish, & 4 tha luv of money) were BTNH.
Song was different from what we are use to hearing I guess thats a good thing I was feeling this one
Agreed cant complain about him rapping about strippers cars, clothes, money and shit nice look krayzie keep doing your thing legend status
Krayzie bone is talented
Now drop that EP already
yeaaa this what we want, krayzie bone one the greatest
I really like this song flow was nice, beat nice, hook smooth I will be looking for more music from kray
when im dead and gone my skelton will sit on the throne clutching a microphone he nice he nice
smooth with a dope flow
krayzie bone went in on this one cant wait for that Ep The Quick Fix
Bone bone bone bone,legends
Another level def this shit bang
Dope ill mess with it I alwayz said I wanted to hear more songs like this from him, krayzie bone is a great artist but he just rarely puts out any music
Fire Krayzies flow is on point
This sounds refreshing nice joint
greatest to ever do it...you can thank bone thugs and harmony for all the singing you see from rappers in the game today.

EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö What looked like a one-item special meeting agenda last Wednesday with a routine bit of housekeeping turned into one of the more contentious Planning Board meetings in recent months.
With board members split on whether to reconsider one condition of a plan approved in December, FKL New London LLC, developer of a planned McDonald's at 2500 New London Turnpike, will go back to the drawing board on an access plan for the restaurant to be built near Exit 7 of Route 95 in the extreme northwest corner of town near its border with Coventry and West Greenwich.
EAST GREENWICH ŌĆö These are busy days for local film producer Chad A. Verdi, who is juggling the demands of three films in various stages of development, marketing and exhibition.
First, there is ŌĆ£Loosies,ŌĆØ a pickpocketing tale in current release in both theaters and at home with On Demand, which may finally receive a Rhode Island theater run.
Second, preparations are under way for an October theatrical release of ŌĆ£Infected,ŌĆØ a horror film featuring some of the cast and crew involved with ŌĆ£Inkubus,ŌĆØ released last October, VerdiŌĆÖs first production with Main Street-based Woodhaven Films.
EAST GREENWICH - The East Greenwich Fire District will hold a special meeting to discuss a possible relocation of Station 1 on Saturday at 10 a.m. at New England Institute of Technology, 1408 Division Road.
Chief Peter Henrikson will present a report he, Deputy Chief Russell McGillivray and district staff have prepared on the feasibility of moving the station from its current 98-year-old headquarters building at 284 Main St. to a new building, to be built on a state-owned lot at the corner of Post Road and Cedar Avenue.
Yes, the Superdome that had been torn up is gleaming again, conventions and celebrations have returned, and the good times are rolling again in New Orleans 6┬Į years after Hurricane Katrina nearly destroyed the city.
But there's a lot more to the story, as Mike McDevitt discovered over the holidays.
In today's paper, Narragansett Recreation discuss the future of the athletic fields and Clarke Road facilities.
At Monday's South Kingstown meeting, it was part two of an argument between councilors and union leaders, who requested apologies from council members after last meeting's conduct.
We also have the story on Molly the Therapy Dog who created such comfort for patients at South County Hospital.
All and more inside, today's Narragansett Times.
On December 19th the North Kingstown Town Council unanimously approved the recommendation of town manager Mike Embury to engage the firm of Nadeau Wadovick LLC to conduct an audit of the school departmentŌĆÖs financial situation in light of its projected deficit of $1.2 million for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.
WOOD RIVER JUNCTION - The Chariho Career and Technical Center welcomed a special guest on Tuesday to give students in the Culinary Arts program taste of food service industry post-secondary education opportunities and employment possibilities.

Avenged Sevenfold's M. Shadows Recalls His Favorite Christmas Gift

From the musician's upcoming ninth studio album, 'The Pale Emperor,' Manson's second offering from the record is entitled 'Deep Six.'
Warren Haynes is celebrating Gov't Mule's 20th anniversary the right way -- by putting out a bunch of great music.
Marilyn Manson has just announced his 'Hell Not Hallelujah' 2015 U.S. tour.
I'm probably the only person in Grand Rapids who's been excited for the return of winter to town. I know I'm certainly the only person in the building who's excited.
So ready, that I set up my GoPro in the window here at work, to catch the first snowfall to come down in downtown GR last night. We've had little flurries, like the other day and on Halloween, but nothing that sat on the ground and stuck for a bit.
It's been awhile since I focused on one game. Previously when I nerd out about a video game, it was about Super Metroid and Mega Man X. Now it's time to go for a game that re-defined the Survival Horror genre. Is it Survival Horror though? More of an Action-Horror?
I don't know, this game was awesome!
It's annoying when you're just walking down the street, trying to get from point A to point B, and someone interrupts you for some reason.
It's one thing if someone is just trying to sell you something, but it's completely different if that person is trying to push their beliefs and morals on you.
Bouncy bouncy bouncy.
Black Veil Brides drop big news about a new live DVD and they've also delivered a video for the song 'Goodbye Agony.'
After appearing in the film 'Fear Clinic,' Corey Taylor says he's planning to produce and direct a new movie, perhaps as early as 2015.
I can't believe the news that I got this weekend.
I was sitting at a Halloween party dressed as Alice Cooper just scrolling through my phone when I scrolled past a story that I never wanted to see" Static-X Frontman Wayne Static had passed away.
The air was taken from my lungs and I just kinda froze. I couldn't believe what I was reading after taking it in for a minute. I started to reminisce of past concerts and intro'ing him at Carnival of Chaos.
A rep for Wayne Static has claimed via a statement that drugs played no part in Static's passing.

This is something I still struggle with, though not to the same extent. Well, I've made strides in the past several years. I hope you find a way to form a more positive self-image.
I realise my perception is warped and I'm probably not as horrible as I imagine I am, and I try to fight this perception, but it helps little. So far I managed not to be so obsessed about it and not to spend evenings crying... that often.
Parents of my students, complaining that I don't smile and scare their children, don't help, though
Well I'm a bit biased because I love smiling and do so often, but I would encourage you to do so more as well!

Forecast summary
Regional forecast for South West England
Fine and dry with bright spells.
After any patchy mist or fog has cleared through the morning it will be a fine day with hazy sunshine. It will be dry across the region with winds picking up through the day but feeling pleasant in the sunshine. Maximum Temperature 15°C.
Into this evening it will be dry with patchy cloud, feeling chilly under clear spells, particularly in rural spots. We may see some patchy mist or fog forming once more. Minimum Temperature 8°C.
Sunday will be similar to today with fine and dry conditions once more after any mist or fog clears. Fresh northeasterly breeze. Maximum Temperature 16°C.
Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:
With high pressure dominating into the new week it will be settled and dry with patchy cloud and sunny spells. Feeling cool.
Updated at: 0333 on Sat 10 Oct 2015
UK forecast for the next 5 days
Mostly dry with some sunshine, but rain in the northwest.
Overnight fog patches will clear to leave a dry day with hazy sunshine for most. There will be further rain in the northwest, whilst parts of the southeast may be rather cloudy at times with a few light showers possible.
The rain in the northwest may edge a little further southeastwards. Elsewhere largely clear skies will again allow for temperatures to dip and for some patchy fog to form.
Breezy for many with cloud and light rain in the north, before showers arrive in the northwest later. Drier further south with sunny spells, but chilly in the breeze.
Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:
Largely dry through the beginning of the week with sunny spells for most. Staying breezy, and feeling cooler than average for many, particularly in the south and east.
Updated at: 0335 on Sat 10 Oct 2015
Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Thursday 15 Oct 2015 to Saturday 24 Oct 2015:
High pressure looks to remain close to the UK for much of this period and settled but cool weather should continue. Most places will be dry with a mix of sunshine and scattered cloud, although a few light showers, brought in on the cool breeze, may pepper windward coastal areas at times. For the far north, however, occasional weak fronts drift in from the Atlantic, bringing cloud and patchy rain here, these may also move south at times increasing cloud amounts. Temperatures are likely to be below average with clear overnight skies leading to frosty mornings in many areas, and mist or fog over fields and in valleys. Towards the very end of this period there is an increasing chance that unsettled weather will move in from the northwest.
UK Outlook for Sunday 25 Oct 2015 to Sunday 8 Nov 2015:
The weather for the end of October and into early November looks rather uncertain at this stage with a number of possibilities across the UK at this time. The most probable trend, however, is for the northwest of the UK to see the bulk of any wet and windy weather, with the southeast drier and more settled, although here there are still likely to be occasional showers or spells of rain. Temperatures look likely to be around the seasonal average, with milder spells interspersed by cooler showery outbreaks.
