Gran Caribe Real Hotel

Gran Caribe Real Hotel. The hotel is also suspected of illegally building a breakwater that impeded the natural flow of sand onto other hotels' beaches, he said. An employee of the hotel's marketing office said nobody was available to comment on the allegations. Authorities said the hotel owner ignored previous orders to remove the breakwater.

"Today we made the decision to close this stretch of ill-gotten, illegally accumulated sand," said Patricio Patron, Mexico's attorney general for environmental protection. "This hotel was telling its tourists: 'Come here, I have sand ... the other hotels don't, because I stole it.'" "I apologize to the tourists for this problem, but it is a question of enforcing the law," Patron said.

Mexico spent $19 million to replace Cancun beaches washed away by Hurricane Wilma in 2005. But much of the sand pumped from the sea floor has since washed away, leading some property owners to build breakwaters in a bid to retain sand. The practice often merely shifts sand loss to beaches below the breakwaters. MEXICO CITY — Surprised tourists found their little piece of Cancun beach paradise ringed by crime-scene tape and gun-toting sailors on Thursday.

Ben Brown Baton Rouge

Benjamin Brown, 28, left to go to work at about 5:00am. He left early to study for an accounting test he was going to take that afternoon. "I got up about 6:30 a.m. and realized he was gone and I called his cell phone and he didn't answer," said Ragan Brown. It's been waiting game as she sits at home, hoping to find out what happened to the love of her life. "I just miss him so much and I love him and I just want him back," she said.

The sheriff's office says surveillance video shows Brown walking into his office building at 8550 United Plaza Blvd. at 5:20am. They also know he made it into his office because some of his study items were found on his desk. The surveillance does not show Brown leaving the building. His car was found at his office, with no signs of forced entry or any suspicious activity. Detectives also located his personal belongings inside Brown's office. According to one of Brown's professor's, Brown did not show up for his class that afternoon.

"He would never go anywhere or do anything without telling me or letting me know what he's doing," Ragan said. Detectives did a systematic floor-to-floor search of the building and its grounds to no avail. Detectives have also checked with all area hospitals in an attempt to locate Brown. Detectives also tried to locate Brown on his cell phone, but there was no answer. He is described as a 5'7" white male and weighs about 170 lbs.

Shuttle Landing

shuttle mission came to a successful end when the space shuttle Colombia returned to Earth following a two-day test flight. On Friday, July 31, 2009, the crew of mission STS-127 is set to touch down at Florida's Kennedy Space Center on board the space shuttle Endeavour. Its safe return would mark the 125th time NASA has successfully completed a shuttle mission. Putting a damper on the celebrations, however, is the forecast.

Bad weather plagued the shuttle's launch, and if the storm clouds remain, as the forecast predicts, there's a chance it may also delay the shuttle's return. Because the space shuttle glides back to Earth during its descent, NASA has strict criteria in place to dictate when and where it can land. Conditions that can hinder the shuttle's return include cloud cover, wind velocity, turbulence, precipitation, lightning and thunderstorms near the landing site.

The Kennedy Space Center is NASA's preferred location for a shuttle landing, since it has the staff and equipment to handle the landing and is only a tow-ride away from the shuttle's storage facility. NASA can keep the shuttle in orbit, supplies permitting, if the bad weather in Florida persists, but by Saturday it may have to look at diverting the landing to another location. In this case, the shuttle will most likely touch down at Edwards Air Force Base in California.

Faculty

Faculty Association has ratified the agreement to have its members take the equivalent of a two-day-per-month furlough beginning Saturday, a news release said. The Academic Professionals of California, which represents about 2,400 student services employees, also has ratified an agreement to begin furloughs. Its members supported the agreement by 72 percent. Two employee groups — the 1,000 employees within the Service Employee Trades Council and the 10 members of the operating engineers at Cal Maritime — chose instead to lay off workers, the release said.

“We appreciate that we were able to come to an agreement with these two unions because furloughs will help to save jobs, preserve employee health and retirement benefits, and ultimately, allow us to better serve students,” Gail Brooks, CSU vice chancellor for human resources, said in the release. “Unprecedented reductions in state funding have left CSU with an enormous budget deficit, and reducing our employee costs is a critical part of CSU’s action plan to address this shortfall.”

With CFA and APC accepting the furloughs, now nearly all of the university system’s 47,000 employees will be subject to furloughs, represent about a 10 percent decrease in compensation. The California State University Employees Union, which represents 16,000 non-academic employees, has already accepted the furlough option and will begin furloughing on Saturday. Management and non-represented employees, including the chancellor, campus presidents and executives, also will begin the two-day-per-month furlough beginning in August.

Projo

ProJo.com’s Wednesday report on the attack ran with the headline, “Same-sex marriage protesters assaulted with food,” and didn’t mention the pepper spray until the second-to-last paragraph. The following morning, reporter Kate Branson used a more nuanced headline (“Update: 4 accused of hurling food at activists in Warwick”), but at least mentioned the pepper spray in the second paragraph.

The Providence Journal’s coverage of the assault on traditional marriage advocates in Warwick, Rhode Island on July 28 has consistently downplayed how pepper spray was used on the conservative protesters, in favor of how food was thrown at them.

The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property, also known as the American TFP, is a conservative Catholic group based in the central Pennsylvania town of Spring Grove, and supported by hundreds of thousands of donors all over the U.S. They are conducting a “traditional marriage crusade” in the northeastern states of New York, Rhode Island, and Maine. “Caravans” of their young volunteers are traveling across those three states, and stop at busy intersections, holding signs expressing their support of traditional marriage, which they believe to be a sacrament.

Fartlek

Fartlek Training,Fartleks:Fartlek training offers a wide range of athletes an effective ad efficient form of endurance conditioning… But just like every other form of sports training you must structure the session to meet the demands of your sport.. Fartlek training allows the athlete to run freely over varying distances and at varying speeds.

A single session might consist of walking, cruising and sprinting. It might last for 20 minutes or 5 miles. The variations are unlimited. And that means some specific guidelines are in order so each session can be made as effective as possible. If you’ve read some of the other articles on the site you’ll appreciate the importance of specificity. It’s one the most important principles of training and one that is often overlooked.

In most fartlek training sessions intervals are kept relatively short and frequent. Anything too long simply becomes more like interval training. Each interval might range from 10 seconds up to 5 minutes for example. For long distance runners (anything from 1500m to 10k) more structured sessions are beneficial. For example, you might run hard for 5 minutes (above race pace) then jog slowly for 1 minute to recover, and repeat that five or six times.

GDP report

GDP report is likely to show recession eased in 2Q WASHINGTON — The recession likely eased in the spring, with the U.S. economy no longer in free-fall. Many analysts predict that when the Commerce Department releases its first estimate of second-quarter activity Friday, it will say the economy shrank at a 1.5 percent pace from April though June. If they are correct, it would mark a vast improvement from the 5.9 percent annualized drop recorded over the prior six months — the weakest showing in 50 years.

“The recession kind of came in like a lion and is going out like a lamb,” said economist Ken Mayland of ClearView Economics. Less drastic spending cuts by businesses, a resumption of spending by the federal government and an improved trade picture factor into expectations for a better performance. Consumers, though, probably pulled back a bit. Rising unemployment, shrunken nest eggs and lower home values have weighed down their spending.

President Barack Obama said Thursday that while he thinks economic activity contracted in the spring, Friday’s report also should show that the United States has “stepped away from the precipice.” Business inventories could be the key swing number in Friday’s report. If companies slash the stockpiles on their shelves more deeply than expected, the report could show the economy suffering from an unexpectedly big contraction.

Powerball numbers

Powerball numbers, to which millions of lottery players have been waiting, are out today and have no winning results.

This was the order of drawing results 38 2 43 5 59. As there was no big winner in last night's powerball lottery the dollar amount is estimated to be 120 million for the August 1 drawing.

The estimated cash value will be $59,000,000 cash value. An AP story published in today's Shreveport Times, also confirms that the last night's powerball results were not favorable for a big winner. While the North Carolina Lottery website shows that the powerball dollar amount has gone up to an estimated 120 million for August 1st drawing it also reads the following in regard to the table that shows the numbers.

Sporting News Top 50 Coaches

Chicago Blackhawks Senior Advisor, Hockey Operations Scotty Bowman has been listed at number seven in The Sporting News Magazine's Top 50 Greatest Coaches of All-Time list, which was released on Wednesday. Bowman is the highest ranked National Hockey League coach on the list, as selected by a panel of 118 Hall of Famers, championships coaches and other experts. "I feel honored and privileged to be considered in such elite company," Bowman said. "It is a reflection on the many great Hall of Fame players that I had the good fortune to coach.

Bowman, who joined the Blackhawks Hockey Operations Department on July 31, 2008, has been a member of 11 Stanley Cup winning teams since 1973, which includes an NHL record nine as a head coach. The Montreal native is also the NHL's all-time leader with 1,224 regular-season wins and 223 postseason victories. Prior to joining the Blackhawks, Bowman has held a position in professional hockey since 1967.

Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder in 1991, Bowman is the only man in the history of the sport to lead three different teams to the Stanley Cup and has reached the league Finals 13 times as a bench boss. As a head coach, he has captured the Cup with the Montreal Canadiens (1973, 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979), Pittsburgh Penguins (1992) and Red Wings (1997, 1998 and 2002). He served as the director of player development on Pittsburgh's 1991 Stanley Cup winning club and most recently celebrated his 11th league title with the Red Wings in 2008.

7 Year Old Steals Car

7 Year Old Steals Car, Utah police say that a 7-year-old led officers on a low-speed car chase in an attempt to avoid having to go to church. Dispatchers received reports of a young boy driving recklessly on Sunday morning. Klint Anderson, Weber County Sheriff’s Captain, says an eye-witness saw the boy drive right through a stop sign.

Anderson says two deputies managed to catch up to the boy and tried (unsuccessfully) to stop the Dodge Intrepid in an area that was approximately 45 miles north of Salt Lake City. The car got up to speeds of 40 mph before the boy finally stopped in a driveway and hid inside a home. Later, when the boy’s father later confronted him, he said he simply didn’t want to go to church. The boy will not be prosecuted as he is too young and no citations were issued. Police, however, police did urge the father to make his car keys more inaccessible to children.

Iphone Virus

iPhone as a whole and also the newly released iPhone 3GS, but could this amazing Apple cellphone possibly be an easy device to hack into and take over? Seems that Apple has a slight, but extremely dangerous flaw, in the iPhone Security foundation which could allow hackers to take over your iPhone. This iPhone security breach has been proven by and tested at the Black Hat Security Conference where Charlie Miller and Colin Mulliner illustrated the ease of the hack and just hinted at the ramifications for iPhone owners.

This hack arrives to an unsuspecting iPhone user as an SMS with a single character which could allow the hacker to do the following: - Make calls from your iPhone - Steal your personal data stored on your iPhone - Send Text Messages from your smartphone, and… - simply take over your phone making it useless…for you.

Even scarier is the ability for this hack or iPhone bug to spread like a virus. When the hacker takes over your iPhone, they could easily send this sms to your entire address book, hence sending an iPhone virus to duplicate its malicious take over. This iPhone bug is demonstrated by a corruption bug in the SMS application of the iPhone. Unfortunately, as of now, Apple has not provided a patch to repair this tremendous flaw, even though they have known about it for 6 weeks.

Rev Ike

Rev. Ike to a legion of followers here and across the nation to whom he preached the blessings of prosperity while making millions from their donations, has died. He was 74. A family spokesman said he died Tuesday in a Los Angeles hospital, two years after he suffered astroke from which he never recovered.

Rev. Ike's ministry reached its peak in the mid-1970s, when his sermons were carried on 1,770 radio stations to an audience estimated at 2.5 million. He also preached his philosophy of self-empowerment on television and the Internet, in books and magazines, and on audiotapes and videotapes. He then would exhort the believers to "close your eyes and see green ... money up to your armpits, a roomful of money, and there you are, just tossing around in it like a swimming pool."

From the stage of the former Loews movie theater on 175th St. in Washington Heights, which he restored and transformed into his United Church Science of Living Institute, Rev. Ike would tell thousands of parishioners "this is the do-it-yourself church. The only savior in this philosophy is God in you." As payback for spiritual inspiration, Rev. Ike asked for cash donations from the faithful - preferably in bills not coins. "Change makes your minister nervous in the service," he would say.

Demagogue

Demagogue and flake. This is the most stinging attack against Palin in recent months. Sarah Palin who apparently has some presidential hopes has recently demitted office of Alaska governor to spend more time in key states than Alaska might have never imagined that she would be called ignorant and demagogue.

Sarah Louise Heath Palin was born in Sandpoint, Idaho on February 11, 1964. She was the third of four children born to Chuck and Sally Heath. The Palins moved to Alaska when Sarah was two months old. Graduating from Wasilla High School in 1982 she moved on to receive a Bachelor of Science in Communications and Journalism from the University of Idaho in 1987.

Todd and Sarah have five children. Prior to taking office, Palin served on numerous boards and commissions throughout the state of Alaska. She was active in her family’s pursuits, including serving as a sports team mom and school volunteer. She also enjoys participating in running marathons. Palin is a lifetime member of the NRA and enjoys hunting, fishing, Alaska history, and all that Alaska's great outdoors has to offer. On August 29, 1988 Sarah eloped with her High School sweetheart Todd Palin. Todd is a lifelong Alaskan, a production operator on the North Slope, and a four-time champion of the Iron Dog, the world's longest snow machine race.

Bryce Dallas Howard

Bryce Dallas Howard, the actress best-known for playing Gwen Stacy in "Spider-Man 3" and for starring in the worst M. Night Shyamalan films, will join the cast of "Twilight" starting with the third film "Eclipse" (scheduled for release in 2010). She'll take on the role of Victoria, the nomadic vampire who is trying to kill Bella and whose role beefs up significantly in the third film. Howard is something of Hollywood royalty, as her father, Ron Howard, has been in the business for decades.

He broke in as a child star on "The Andy Griffith Show," graduated to a role on "Happy Days" and has since become one of the most prolific and varied directors in film, creating modern classics like "Apollo 13," "Willow" and "Cinderella Man." (He is also responsible for "The Da Vinci Code," but it's hard to hold that against him considering he brought "Arrested Development" to television). He's also one of the few people to have multiple guest spots on "The Simpsons,"

which is elite company indeed. But though Ron's contribution to American pop culture is great, his best recent work has been in a cameo in the video for Jamie Foxx's "Blame It," where he is seen rolling with Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker and Samuel L. Jackson at a club. It's hard to believe that Ron is much of a club guy, but he makes the appearance work if only because his look could easily be described as anti-hip-hop. Still, he looks more at home toasting champagne with those ladies than Gyllenhaal does.

Rorschach Wikipedia

Rorschach test, a series of 10 inkblot plates created by the Swiss psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach for his book “Psychodiagnostik,” published in 1921, is clearly in the second category. Yet in the last few months, the online encyclopedia Wikipedia has been engulfed in a furious debate involving psychologists who are angry that the 10 original Rorschach plates are reproduced online, along with common responses for each. For them, the Wikipedia page is the equivalent of posting an answer sheet to next year’s SAT.

They are pitted against the overwhelming majority of Wikipedia’s users, who share the site’s “free culture” ethos, which opposes the suppression of information that it is legal to publish. (Because the Rorschach plates were created nearly 90 years ago, they have lost their copyright protection in the United States.) “The only winners seem to be those for whom this issue has become personal, and who see this as a game in which victory means having their way,”

What had been a simmering dispute over the reproduction of a single plate reached new heights in June when James Heilman, an emergency-room doctor from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, posted images of all 10 plates to the bottom of the article about the test, along with what research had found to be the most popular responses for each. “I just wanted to raise the bar — whether one should keep a single image on Wikipedia seemed absurd to me, so I put all 10 up,” Dr. Heilman said in an interview. “The debate has exploded from there.”

Meter

Meter even garnered notice online from a blog writer identifying herself as a Vallejo resident named "Danielle." "What a great idea -- to give passers by the opportunity to donate their loose change to local charities in this way! ... (but) the meter is broken! What a disappointment," Danielle wrote. By early this week, the meter was fixed, after a call from a reporter last week asking about the meter's problems. cities used meters for charities, and that Vallejo should, too. Sacramento provided Vallejo one of its extra meters, at no cost to the city, Mazzaferro said.

Assistant City Finance Director Susan Mayer said the meter had collected about $215 in the past three years, acknowledging that the equipment had likely been neglected since Mazzaferro left. She added that after a collection this week, city officials will need to determine the most appropriate use and beneficiary of the funds. "It would fill up quickly," Mazzaferro said. "It was in a real public place ... generally all (the proceeds) went to the Christian Help Center. For as low maintenance and low impact that you could have, it was pretty profitable."

A faded red meter sits facing the Vallejo ferry docks and surrounding water, bearing a sign urging Ferry Building visitors to help offer "a hand up, and not a hand out to those in need." Those receiving that hand, though, may have seen fewer donations in recent years. The device, dubbed the "Mayor's Meter," has been at Vallejo's waterfront for the past nine years, by best estimates. Recently, it's suffered from inattention, relocation and even small bits of matter -- most recently a piece of wood -- stuffed into its coin slots.

Fruit

Fruit Market on U.S. 17 was demolished this morning when the driver of a logging truck lost consciousness and drove into the $250,000 building head-on, Florida Highway Patrol said. The driver of the truck, Willie J. Davis, 53, Palatka, was taken to the Putnam Community Medical Center shortly after the 2 a.m. incident in serious condition, FHP said.

Witnesses said Davis was driving in the inside eastbound lane when he suddenly began to drift into the outside lane and then off the road. A cashier in the fruit market building when the crash occurred told troopers she saw the truck coming and was able to get out of the way just as the truck demolished the building.

Troopers said the structure was "totally destroyed" in the accident and and building officials in Putnam county declared it no longer safe for occupancy. Davis, who was not wearing a seatbelt, told troopers he blacked out just before the crash. Troopers said alcohol was not a factor in the accident.

Willow Springs N C

Willow Springs, North Carolina. In the last twelve hours the FBI and local authorities in various NC locations arrested seven men for various charges, including terrorist activities. Zakariya Boyd, 20, Daniel Patrick Boyd,39, Ziyad Yaghi, 21, Hysen Sherifi, 24, Anes Subasic, 33, Dylan Boyd, 22, and Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, 22, have been charged with acts such as training others to commit terrorist attacks, conspiring to kidnap, murder and to injure.

Father to Zakariya and Dylan Boyd, Daniel Boyd has been accused of recruiting young men to travel overseas to gain terrorist growth. Boyd's track record shows a flow of terrorist activities in connection with Pakistan and Afghanistan. Willow Springs and Caswell County seems to be the denominator. However, Caswell County is where the men would operate and perform military tactics prior to their arrests. Caswell County found much to unfold, including weapons. The accused is due back to court on Thursday.

Eric Robert Rudolph, Olympic Park Bomber, began on America's Most Wanted list from May 5, 1998 to May 31, 2003. Rudolph was found after spending five years in western North Carolina hidden inside of the woods. Eric Rudolph was accused of partaking in terrorism through the Atlanta bombing of 1998. As for the investigation on the latest terrorist arrest, there were no doubts that anyone involved would be located and charged. North Carolina's law enforcement does not allow the support of terrorism, and perhaps this sends that golden message.

IBM SPSS

IBM is buying analytics software and solutions provider SPSS in an all cash transaction at a price of $50/share - a 42 percent premium to Monday's closing price of $35.09 on Nasdaq - resulting in a total cash consideration in the merger of approximately $1.2 billion. The acquisition is subject to SPSS shareholder approval, regulatory clearances and other closing conditions, and is expected to close later in the second half of 2009.

Big Blue said the acquisition of the publicly-held Chicago company was expected to strengthen its information-agenda initiative, which helps companies take information and turn it into a strategic asset. IBM shares fell 67 cent to $116.96 in pre-market trading, while SPSS shares jumped 41 percent to $49.59. A message from SPSS Chairman, CEO & President Jack Noonan: We and IBM view this as a highly-complementary move from both a technology and a market position perspective

In joining with IBM, we will advance Predictive Analytics as a competitive advantage for companies and organizations worldwide. We see this as a transformative event that will accelerate the adoption of Predictive Analytics. Between now and the acquisition close, we will continue to support our customers and partners in normal fashion. Existing contracts will remain in effect, account relationships and support infrastructure will remain unchanged.

USEC

USEC was a shoo-in for the loan guarantee. This was due to its long history of supplying enriched uranium from blended down Russian HEU to nuclear utilities under the Megatons-to-Megawatts program and its prior history with the government that goes as far back as the Manhattan project during World War II. USEC’s plant.

When the Energy Policy Act of 2005 was passed, and included authorization for the $2 billion loan guarantee, USEC was the only firm expected to apply for it. Louisiana Energy Services, which is building a similar uranium enrichment plant in Eunice, NM, did not seek participation in the program. That plant is being built by a Urenco which is funding the construction of the $2 billion facility from its own resources.

At 3.8 million SWU, USEC's plant was the biggest of the uranium enrichment plants either under construction or planned for the U.S. Urenco and Areva both have initial building plans for about 2-3 million SWU each, but both firms say that longer term they plan to double their capacity. With USEC's project off the table, they could potentially move up their schedules for the larger build-out of production capacity.

Sociopathic Tendencies

"He was a very good sociopath and a liar. ...When I thought about it and looked it up on the Internet, and looked at sociopathic tendencies ... I said 'Oh my God.'" "I believed him when he said he had nothing to do with her [Amy Fisher]," Mary Jo tells "Good Morning America."

Nearly two decades after being shot in the face by her ex-husband's teenager lover, Amy Fisher, Mary Jo Buttafuoco uses one word to best describe her former hubby: He's a "sociopath and a liar" Buttafuoco explains in her new book. In 1992, Mary Jo Buttafuoco answered her front door only to have 16-year-old Amy Fisher shoot her in the face.

As for Mr. Buttafuoco, he isn't happy and cites a number of "inaccuracies" in the book. Fisher was romantically involved with Joey Buttafuoco. During the chat the millionaire playboy was told that he had shown anti-social tendencies, according to Contactmusic Big Brother psychologist Jeffery was on the panel, with Davina and former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Terry Christian, for Kenneth's exit interview from the show.

Shana Martin

Shana Martin, Penn State’s athletic history boasts national champions, iconic coaches, Olympians, a Heisman trophy winner, first round draft picks and now a boom running world champion.Shana Martin Alyse Schroeder, a toxicology major and full time student, captured the world’s top ranking in a thrilling race on June 25th. The junior finished in 11.14 seconds, just edging opponent and event favorite Shana Martin, who ran in 11.28 seconds.

“I had been working my butt off to become champion, it was a relief,” Schroeder said. “It was a satisfaction knowing that all of my hard work had paid off.” Boom running is part of the STIHL TIMBERSPORTS series and the Lumberjack World Championship. In the event, two competitors race down a series of logs connected by rope to a small dock. Once they reach the dock, the athletes have to go around a marker, usually a large barrel then race back down the logs for the finish.

Schroeder began her professional career last year at the Lumberjack World Championship, held annually in her hometown of Hayward, Wisc., and placed third. At the 2009 STIHL TIMBERSPORTS series, which is televised as part of ESPN’s outdoor games, the junior won the title in front of a national audience. “Honestly, its an unreal experience — especially winning,” Schroeder said. “Everybody is smothering you, and it’s amazing. Seeing myself on TV is a surreal experience.”

Diane Schuler

Diane Schuler, 36, of West Babylon, according to published reports. The woman and all five children – including Schuler’s daughter, 2, and her nieces, ages 5, 7 and 9 – were ejected from the van onto the median, state police said. The lone survivor of the crash was the driver’s 5-year-old son, who was taken to Westchester County Medical Center in Valhalla with severe head trauma and other injuries, Hawthorne fire department chief Joseph La Grippo said.

New York State Police investigator James Boyle said the boy, who underwent surgery Sunday night, was in stable condition. No information on the boy’s condition was available early Monday. “It’s horrifying to pull up and see something like that,” La Grippo said of the accident scene. “I was at the Trade Center. This was worse”. Firefighters performed CPR on the woman and children, but were able to resuscitate only the 5-year-old boy.

The minivan went south into the northbound lanes and almost immediately veered across three lanes of traffic before crashing head-on into a Chevy Tracker carrying three men from Yonkers, State Police said. The Tracker then struck a third vehicle, a Chevy Trailblazer, Boyle said. State Police said the family had been camping in Sullivan County and was returning home in their Ford Windstar minivan when the driver mistakenly entered the Taconic State Parkway via the Pleasantville exit ramp – a ramp for northbound traffic in Briarcliff, which is about 15 miles north of New York City.

Pete Rose

Pete Rose was a great player with a unique place in MLB history. But his tarnished legacy won't be affected one way or another by his inclusion in the Hall of Fame, Buster Olney writes. MLB commissioner Bud Selig appears to be "seriously considering" reinstatement for Pete Rose nearly 20 years after the hit king was banned from baseball for gambling on the sport, according to a report in the New York Daily News.

Hank Aaron's support for Rose's Hall of Fame inclusion, which he mentioned at this weekend's ceremonies in Cooperstown, N.Y., is a strong indication of Selig's possible action, the Daily News reported. Lobbying for the move began five years ago but died when Selig became convinced Rose was not "reconfiguring" his life, the newspaper report said, part of the late commissioner Bart Giamatti's demands on Rose when he was ruled ineligible.

"I think a lot of the guys feel that it's been 20 years now for Pete, and would lean toward leniency and time served," an unnamed Hall of Famer said, according to the Daily News. "If he had admitted it in the first place and apologized way back then, he'd probably be in the Hall by now." Inclusion on the writers' ballot expires after 15 years, though Rose has never appeared on their ballot except by write-in.

Merce Cunningham

Merce Cunningham, the avant-garde choreographer whose unorthodox approaches and discoveries throughout a six-decade career made him one of the most important artists of the 20th century, influencing filmmakers and directors as well as choreographers worldwide, died Sunday night, the Merce Cunningham Dance Foundation said. He was 90.

With his Merce Cunningham Dance Company, founded in New York in 1953, Mr. Cunningham collaborated with composer John Cage (with whom he also had a romantic partnership) and painters Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Andy Warhol and other major figures in the modern art world. He created a body of work that looks like none other -- plotless, spacious and often leisurely paced works, characterized by the clarity, calm and coolness of the dancing.

He also developed an elegant and rigorous dance technique based on ballet's pulled-up stretchiness, the weightedness he absorbed from Martha Graham, with whom he danced before striking out on his own, and his own ways of twisting, folding and releasing the body. Where other choreographers looked to music and their own imagination for inspiration, Mr. Cunningham favored the creative strategies of a physicist, a Vegas high roller and a techno-whiz.

Ben Silverman

Ben Silverman is leaving to form a new venture with new-media mogul Barry Diller. Jeff Gaspin, who had been head of NBC's cable group, will now become the top television entertainment executive at NBC. The departure of Silverman after such a short stint -- even by Hollywood standards -- was not surprising. In his brief run at the network, he became almost as well known for the gossip around him as he was for the struggles of the network's lineup under him.

Silverman and Diller, who have long ties, announced they are creating a new company to "capitalize on the ever-evolving world of multimedia production and distribution, leveraging unique marketing expertise." Diller, whose company IAC/Interactive Corp. is a far-flung array of Internet properties, said in a statement that Silverman will lead the creation of a "truly integrated and truly interactive new-media production entity, a next-generation enterprise that bridges the gap between traditional television and the Internet."

Gaspin takes over the top spot with little time to have any effect on NBC's fall schedule. Silverman is going to stay at NBC through the launch of the fall slate. NBC has been struggling the last few years and is currently trailing its rivals in viewers and the key demographic of adults ages 18 to 49. In a statement Zucker said Gaspin has "the business acumen necessary to succeed in today's media environment."

Planet of the Apes 2001

Planet of the Apes is a 2001 science fiction film and remake of the 1968 film of the same name. Tim Burton directed the film, which stars Mark Wahlberg, Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter, Michael Clarke Duncan, Paul Giamatti and Estella Warren. Planet of the Apes tells the story of astronaut Leo Davidson landing on a planet inhabited by intelligent humanoid apes. The apes treat humans as slaves, but with the help of a female ape named Ari, Leo starts a rebellion.

Development for a remake of Planet of the Apes started as far back as 1988 with Adam Rifkin. Rifkin’s project almost commenced pre-production before it was cancelled. Terry Hayes’s script titled Return of the Apes had Oliver Stone, Don Murphy and Jane Hamsher as producers and Phillip Noyce as director with Arnold Schwarzenegger set to star. Creative differences ensued between Hayes and financier/distributor 20th Century Fox. Chris Columbus, Sam Hamm, James Cameron, Peter Jackson and the Hughes Brothers later became involved.

With William Broyles, Jr.’s script, Tim Burton was hired as director, and the film was put into active development. Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal rewrote the script, and filming took place from November 2000 to April 2001. Planet of the Apes was released to mixed reviews, but was a financial success. Much criticism focused on the confusing ending, although Rick Baker’s prosthetic makeup designs were praised. Despite its financial success, Fox chose not to produce a sequel.

Sara Granda

Sara Granda to take next week's test. Sara is a fighter, and I am with her all the way." The state bar's Web site never processed Granda's application for Tuesday's test because California's Department of Rehabilitation paid her $600 fee with a check, according to the Sacramento Bee. The Web site requires a credit card number, but Granda said she was assured by a state bar representative that she was properly registered with the check, the newspaper reported.

Granda was paralyzed from the neck down after a car accident in 1997, when she was 17. The accident happened a month before she was to attend California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, on a full scholarship, according to the Sacramento Bee. Granda, who has been studying 11 hours a day for the bar exam with the help of assistants, said she wants the state of California to resolve the matter because it spent about $100,000 for her education.

AuSable River Canoe Marathon

Au Sable River Canoe Marathon. He and partner Frank Taber had been paddling since around 8 p.m. the night before when the race kicked off. "You're not going to finish, you're going to miss the cutoff!" yelled an observer from the bridge that marks roughly a quarter mile to the finish line. This was after a long night and day of what Dittenber referred to as a mind-numbing experience that caused him to second guess himself at each one of the race's check points. And while it remains to be seen whether those words from the bridge where meant to encourage or deride the paddlers, Dittenber says it provided a vital push.

"That gave me all the adrenaline I needed," said the 32-year-old Au Gres native. "We pushed ourselves and gave it everything we had." Dittenber and Taber came in just eight minutes under the cutoff time of 4 p.m., successfully finishing the 120-mile race from Grayling to Oscoda. They had been paddling for nearly 20 hours. "Not finishing would have been devastating," Dittenber said. "I don't know if I would have been able to physically and mentally prepare myself to come back.

"But finishing tells me there's nothing I can't do in life. I now feel like there's nothing I can't accomplish."This year, the Grand Valley State University graduate student came back to tackle the Au Sable for a second time, as he and new partner and first-time racer Darin Lile hit the river Saturday night for another test of endurance. If all goes as planned for Dittenber and Lile - and the rest of the 92-team field of paddlers - they'll be crossing the finish in Oscoda some time today.

NYC triathlon

Heat, humidity and jellyfish were all factor in the 2009 NYC triathlon. But in the end it was Gregg Bennett who won on the Men's side of the race and Rebeccah Wasner on the women's side. Bennett won while, "Andy Potts finished less than a minute later, followed closely by Matt Reed, Yoder and Stuart Hayes to round out the men’s top five."

"On the men’s side, Andy Potts emerged from the swim first with a time of 12:14, with three-time NYC Triathlon winner Greg Bennett and Andy Reed following quickly behind. After racing through the transition, the earlier rain left a slow track that demanded caution from even the slickest Pros."

The NYC Tri is an Olympic Distance Triathlon, which means that it includes a 1500m swim, followed by a 40k bike ride, and finishes with a 10k run. Beginning at 5:50 am on Sunday, July 26, 2009, 3000 athletes will dive into the Hudson River, where the swimming portion begins the first of three legs in this event. The biking portion heads along the West Side Highway of Manhattan, up toward the Bronx, and brings runners back to 72nd Street.

Lackawanna Six

The Buffalo Six (also known as Lackawanna Six, Lackawanna Cell, or Buffalo Cell) is a group of six Yemeni-Americans who were convicted of providing material support to al-Qaeda. The six are American citizens by birth. They traveled to Afghanistan in spring 2001, before the September 11, 2001 attacks, while the country was still ruled by the Taliban, which was then giving sanctuary to Osama bin Laden, who in turn used it as a base for al-Qaeda training.

In the late summer of 2002, one of the members, Muktar al-Bakri, sent an e-mail in which he described an upcoming wedding and another in which he mentioned a “big meal”. In the past the word “wedding” had been used as a code for a terrorist attack and “big meal” as code for an explosive.. The Bush administration in 2002 considered sending U.S. troops into a Buffalo, N.Y

suburb to arrest a group of terror suspects in what would have been a nearly unprecedented use of military power, The New York Times reported. Vice President Dick Cheney and several other Bush advisers at the time strongly urged that the military be used to apprehend men who were suspected of plotting with al Qaida, who later became known as the Lackawanna Six, the Times reported on its Web site Friday night. It cited former administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Jud Suss

“Jud Suss.” The film is recognized as one of history’s most incendiary. The brief thank-you note was dated June 30 and bore the governor’s automated signature. It praised Ubele’s thoughtfulness and generosity and said Crist would be delighted to share the DVD with the people of Florida. “I was surprised considering the stigma that has been associated with the film,” Ubele said Friday in an exchange of e-mails with The Associated Press. “I was even more surprised when I looked at the signature because from what I can tell it looks real.”

The governor’s office, however, said it was an embarrassing mistake. The signature was made by a machine and Crist never saw the letter, said Sterling Ivey, the governor’s press secretary. “We are NOT sharing the DVD with the people of Florida,” Ivey said. “The governor does not support this view. The letter was sent out prior to us reviewing the DVD that was sent.” The 1940 film was produced by the Nazi propaganda arm and was a great success in Germany and abroad, although it was banned in Sweden in 1941 and has never been shown in that country.

Within the Third Reich, “Jud Suss” was the No. 1 film of the 1939-1940 season when it was seen by more than 20 million people. Anti-Jewish violence was reported after its projection in Marseille, France. Ubele, who ran unsuccessfully for the state Legislature, is the operations manager of a group called the Nationalist Coalition that promotes “white activism.” On its Web site, the organization says it is working to “do whatever is necessary to achieve white living space and to keep it White.”

Robinson R44

Robinson R44 helicopter as Marsan Aviation Inc., of Wilmington, Del. Telephone messages weren’t immediately returned early Friday by an attorney for Marsan listed in FAA records. The aircraft was engulfed when firefighters arrived at the scene minutes after receiving a call at 10:30 p.m. Thursday, said Washington County emergency services director Kevin Lewis. No vehicles on the highway were hit when the helicopter smashed into the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70. All four aboard the helicopter were killed, though there were no injuries on the ground.

Three people who worked for Advanced Helicopter Concepts in Frederick and a passenger were killed in the crash, one of its instructors, Gary Smith, said Friday morning. He said the company had suffered a “huge loss.” “We thank everyone for their support and understanding during this difficult time,” he said, declining to release further details. Smith said the company was cooperating with National Transportation Safety Board investigators. The company trains pilots, takes photographers on aerial tours and fixes and sells helicopters, according to its Web site.

Advanced Helicopter Concepts’ office sits at the end of a hangar at Frederick Municipal Airport, where small planes could be seen taking off and landing Friday morning. Several cars were parked outside the office. Visibility was somewhat limited by fog at the time of the crash, but it wasn’t clear if weather played a role, Lewis said. Storms had passed through the area earlier in the night. Lewis said a witness saw the craft flying low when a bright arc of electricity flashed in the air, apparently caused by the helicopter striking a power line. It wasn’t clear if the craft was already on its way down when it hit the lines.

Malta NY

MALTA, N.Y. — Work on a $4.2 billion chip plant supplying Advanced Micro Devices Inc. starts Friday in a woodsy patch of upstate New York — across the Atlantic from AMD's sister factories and in the middle of a recession. Even as the United States continues to bleed manufacturing jobs, AMD spinoff GlobalFoundries Inc. and its competitors in the chip industry are sinking billions into U.S. factories.

Analysts say the investments are required for technology companies to be poised for an economic upturn. And the chip industry has found U.S. sites especially important because the government restricts what kind of microprocessor work can be done overseas. Perhaps most crucially, companies rely on the willingness of governments to lure factories with massive incentives. New York committed $1.2 billion to land GlobalFoundries' factory in Malta.

The United States can be more attractive to chip makers than Europe when it comes to labor laws and environmental regulations, said Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist for market researcher In-Stat. Intel has seven U.S. factories: three in Oregon, two in Arizona and one each in Massachusetts and New Mexico. Even South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. makes chips in Austin, Texas.GlobalFoundries Chairman Hector Ruiz said the state incentives and the company's desire for a U.S. presence helped lure the chip maker to an industrial park 150 miles north of New York City.

ESPN Peephole Scandal

ESPN reporter completely naked in different hotel rooms – the same hotel in four of the videos and different hotels in the other two videos -which led to the suspicion the person who taped it can be connected with the coverage of athletic events. Four of the clips were shot in the same hotel. The remaining two were shot in a different hotel. In the first hotel, the peephole is round. In the second hotel, the peephole is jagged. The furniture in the two hotel rooms is completely different.

In the first set of videos, Erin is naked, curling her hair while looking into a mirror. It appears all four clips are from the same video. In the second set of clips, Erin is also naked, ironing a pair of pants. The event has sparked conversation about double standards for female sports reporters, the effects of privacy invasion, and their impacts on the future of female sports reporting.Before the video gained prominence, Andrews was scheduled to return to reporting duties in September.

Over the years, the biggest criticism of ESPN, the self-proclaimed "Worldwide Leader in Sports," has been that it engages in shameless self-promotion that often makes it seem as if the network is bigger than the stories it covers. But in a strange twist, two stories have developed in recent days that have thrust ESPN into the national spotlight and made the network the story. Here's a look at those two stories one that made the network the focus through no fault of ESPN's and one that did through ESPN's doing and how they have been viewed.

Geet

Geet’s relationship with Aditya after we left them.” But we don’t think so the sequel will be as pleasing as the original as Imtiaz said, “I don’t see a very pleasant togetherness for Geet and Aditya. They’re two such strong-headed individuals, there’s bound to be friction. Maybe Geet will go back to Anshuman (the guy who dumps her)…There’s certainly an element of curiosity for me about where these characters go.”

Imtiaz is excited for his forthcoming Saif-Deepika starrer movie, ‘Love Aaj Kal’ which going to be released on July 31st. The movie took them to different horizons but Imtiaz preferred ‘Jab We Met’ more. “I loved traveling with Geet and Aditya. We traveled by trains to the remotest corners of India. ‘Love Aaj Kal’ took me to three continents. But traveling for ‘Jab We Met’ was another thrill altogether. I think I’d like to do it again,” says the director.

Her chitter-pitter caught his attention while his composed nature roused her a lot. Her chirpiness complemented his silence. You would have immediately guessed which movie is this! Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Jab We Met’ created a fabulous magic and became an instant hit. Kareena as Geeth and Shahid as Aditya became famous and the movie was loved by young and old like. Now, a little birdie has said that the movie’s director is thinking of recreating the magic.

Daveigh Chase

Samantha Darko (Daveigh Chase) is on a cross-country road trip with best friend Corey (Briana Evigan) when she begins to become plagued by bizarre visions not greatly dissimilar to those her brother experienced years before. Their arrival in a particular small town sets everything into motion with regards to the plot, which involves an war vet (James Lafferty) predicting the end of the world, a religious couple designed to look suspicious and spout trailer-quotable lines, Ed Westwick in squinty-eye mode and a string of missing children.

S. Darko is like a hybrid of Donnie Darko and Final Destination 3, an ominous exercise in the seeming inevitability of death in which time travel and ghostly visions briefly (at least physically) featured in the first film are magnified to the point of ridicule as director Fisher repeats himself a few times over, virtually undoing the majority of the good moves he makes. When a central character dies in a car accident the moment comes as an authentic surprise, suggesting that the filmmaking team had greater aspirations than much of the movie suggests. Alas, Fisher rewinds and makes alterations a la Funny Games.

Boosted little by the acting performances — Chase still acts as if she’s in Oliver Beene, Evigan succeeds at looking seductive and little else, Lafferty is too earnest in his maniacal machinations and Westwick is just incredibly awfully, emoting with the conviction of roadkill — handed in by a cast that also includes the underrated (and unfairly maligned) Elizabeth Berkley, S. Darko blandly goes through the motions of your typical teenage supernatural flick, failing at livening up the familiarities in a way that superior films like The Invisible do and instead going the way of faux-profundity in ripping off its own brethren.

July 9th, 2009 Amnesty: Peru's pregnant Indian get unequal careLIMA, Peru — Peru's government doesn't provide adequate care for pregnant women in the impoverished highlands and jungle, a failure reflected in one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the hemisphere, a human rights group said Thursday. "Health services for pregnant women in Peru are like a lottery. One of the best aspects of the show is that each episode is narrated by the teens themselves. "The goal was for them to tell their own stories, to narrate their lives and their feelings in a way that felt organic," says executive producer Morgan J. Freeman.

Omer Bhatti Pictures

Omer Bhatti is claiming that he is the son of the late Michael Jackson and he is willing to have a DNA test to prove that he is really the son of the King of Pop. Of course it is not easy for the public to believe immediately in what he claims. It's up to you to judge based on the picture of him and Michael Jackson.

Speculations that Omer Bhatti, a Norwegian rapper, could possibly be Michael Jackson's love child are spreading like wildfire. Omer was seated in the front row, right beside the Jackson family, at Michael Jackson's memorial service in Los Angeles. British reports claim that Bhatti was the result of a one night stand that took place back in 1984 with a woman by the name of Pia Bhatti.

Michael's brother, Jermaine, has announced that Omer Bhatti would be welcomed into the family if he could prove that he is Michaels son. Fox reported that the Bhatti family refuses to rule out the possibility that Jackson could be Omer's father. Could Omer really be Michaels, secret, son? I think I'll wait for the DNA results. I'd love to say that Michael Jackson was my father, but sadly, he's not and I'm not the type to make false accusations - or am I? Muhahaha..Anyways I'd like to hear what you all have to say about these crazy reports.

Peter Cammarano

Peter Cammarano has been arrested as part of a broad inquiry on corruption. Today, we know that several officials an rabbis, including Peter Cammarano have been included in this arrest in an effort to get rid of corruption and money laundering in the government. This has caused a major surge of traffic to Hoboken official news site, that is why it is currently down!

The mayors of Hoboken and Secaucus, a state assemblyman and dozens of others were rounded up early Thursday as the F.B.I. swept across four counties in New Jersey as part of a two-year corruption and money-laundering investigation that ranged from the Jersey Shore to Brooklyn and has even reached into the State House in Trenton.

Among the roughly 30 people arrested by mid-morning were Hoboken Mayor Peter J. Cammarano III and Secaucus Mayor Dennis Elwell, both Democrats, and Assemblyman Daniel M. Van Pelt, a Republican from Forked River, in Ocean County. Mr. Cammarano, who turned 32 on Wednesday, was elected mayor June 9 and sworn in July 1, after serving as councilman-at-large since 2005.

NH lottery

New Hampshire Lottery announce that 42-year-old John Kasparek of Brookline has claimed the last $1 million dollar prize in the $10 “NH Millionaire’s Club” instant scratch game. Kasparek claimed his ticket at lottery headquarters today and elected to take the one time lump sum cash payment of $650,000 before taxes. The Souhegan Valley seems to be home to instant millionaires these days.

The $10 “NH Millionaire’s Club” game debuted in stores on March 16, 2007. The first of the two $1m instant tickets was won by George and Marlene Muncy of Amherst on October 9, 2007. And just hours before Kasparek came forward, James Buchanan of Lyndeborough turned in the final $1 million winner from the $30 Million Dollar Riches game. Lottery officials said that ticket was bought at Silva Mart Meat Shoppe in Milford - although the Silva store was sold and changed its name more than a year ago.

The win by Kasparek, a math teacher at Milford High School, was right down to the wire, as after two years on the market and more than 97.4% of tickets sold, the scratch game was being pulled from stores amid concerns the $1 million winner would not be found. Now that both instant million dollar prizes have been claimed, the Lottery can prepared for the “second chance drawing” in which a third million dollar prize will be awarded.

Mo Collins

Mo Collins lists Carol Burnett among her influences and her heroes. No wonder. She's the modern-day Burnett: Physical, funny and way over the top. Collins, who played six seasons on the cast of "Mad TV," made us laugh with characters like Doreen Larkin, overbearing mother of the perpetual toddler Stuart. She also could hold a sketch scene hostage with her characters Lorraine Swanson and Trina Moss,

Vibram FiveFingers

Vibram FiveFingers, thousands of neurological receptors in the feet send valuable information to the brain, improving balance and agility. those same neurological receptors heighten body awareness, sending messages about body mechanics, form, and movement.

The typical human foot is really a miracle of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments. Like the rest of the body, to keep our feet healthy, they need to be stimulated and exercised.Many experts believe the shoes we wear not only cast the foot in a protective form, but also weaken our foot and leg muscles.

leaving them underdeveloped and more prone to injury. And while there are many occasions where traditional footwear is essential for protection, safety, and security, it is equally important to stimulate and exercise the foot in a more natural state on a regular basis. That’s why we recommend wearing FiveFingers for exercise, for play, and for fun. Stimulating muscles in your feet and lower legs will not only make you stronger and healthier, it improves your balance, agility and proprioception.

Erin Andrews Video Peep

Erin Andrews case. Radar Online says its sources confirm that ESPN is doing a full-scale internal investigation into who shot video of reporter Erin Andrews undressing and posted that video online. Radar says there are seven videos of Andrews and its source says the footage was probably shot by an employee at ESPN.

That account is similar to TMZ's report,which indicates there are six videos, and that the videos were shot in different hotels, by someone familiar with Andrews' travel schedule. TMZ says it has viewed the six video segments taken and published without Andrews’ knowledge and permission, and the videos were shot at different times in different cities.

The videos raise the suspicion, TMZ says, the person who shot them knew with her work schedule and was traveling with her. Lawyers for ESPN and Andrews are feverishly working to find the person responsible for the invasion of the reporter’s privacy.It was not clear when the video first appeared on the Internet. Most of the links to it had been removed by Tuesday.

Ben Roethlisberger

Ben Roethlisberger lured her into a hotel room, then sexually assaulted her, according to a new lawsuit.Andrea McNulty claims in her civil lawsuit filed in Washoe County, Nevada, this year's Super Bowl winner asked her to come to his hotel room in July, 2008 -- and then forced her to have sex with him.

McNulty -- an employee at the Harrah's Hotel in Lake Tahoe -- is suing for sexual assault and battery, false imprisonment and infliction of emotional distress. Ben denies all of McNulty's allegations. Roethlisberger's lawyer told ProFootballTalk.com, "The timing of the lawsuit and the absence of a criminal complaint and a criminal investigation are the most compelling evidence of the absecriminal conduct."

Roethlisberger was in Nevada at the time of the alleged incident for a celebrity golf tournament.
Coincidentally, Big Ben was photographed in Nevada this weekend for a different celebrity golf tournament, in which he shot a few rounds with Michael Jordan (see photo below).

This maybe the reason why video sites are very vigilant about the Erin Andrews Peephole Videos, because they might suffer the fate that NFSWPOA suffered. Now, back to the topic about Erin Andrews Peephole Pictures. I tried searching for the keyword 'Erin Andrews Peephole' in Google (GOOG) Images. Many images entitled as such are available but none of them are the real deal. They just use the 'erin andrews peephole' as the title for the picture for it to be easily searched and indexed. I guess online photo sites are also removing erin andrews peephole pictures immediately.

Jesse Holley got the phone call from a friend in the athletic department at the University of North Carolina, he thought it was a joke. The friend told him there was a reality show in the works in which the winner would get a spot on the Cowboys' training camp rostHolley, who played four years at North Carolina before brief stints with the Cincinnati Bengals and British Columbia Lions of the Canadian Football League, was working for a security monitoring company and selling cellphones.
