I participated in the National Dance Day Conference Call last Monday — and I was able to ask Nigel Lythgoe a question!
He said that the inspiration for National Dance Day was because he saw that obesity is a problem in American and one way to combat the epidemic is to get people to exercise through dancing.
I followed that up with a question about SYTYCD Season One’s Allan Frias who was one of the only “plus-sized” dancer ever to make it to the voting rounds of the show.

WASHINGTON — A second House Democrat, Rep. Maxine Waters of California, could face an ethics trial this fall, further complicating the election outlook for the party as it battles to retain its majority.
People familiar with the investigation, who were not authorized to be quoted about charges before they are made public, say the allegations could be announced next week. The House ethics committee declined Friday to make any public statement on the matter.
Waters, 71, has been under investigation for a possible conflict of interest involving a bank that was seeking federal aid. Her husband owned stock in the bank and had served on its board.
New York Democrat Rep. Charles Rangel also faces an ethics trial this fall on charges that include failure to disclose assets and income, nonpayment of taxes and doing legislative favors for donors to a college center named after him.

Montana Fishburne wants to be an actress...just not the kind that her father Laurence Fishburne is currently in.

On TMZ, they're reporting that Montana, daughter from Laurence's first marriage, is making a sex tape on purpose. From TMZ, ((TMZ has learned Montana Fishburne is starring in a porno flick for Vivid Entertainment -- explaining, "I've watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape." ))

You better believe Laurence is beyond pissed. Because I've listened to Dr. Drew a little bit too much, I think this a way to get back at her father for some reason. What better way to piss him off but to get into porn.

I also have to wonder if Brian Pumper had something to do with her new venture in Porn Alley. Supposedly, it was revealed that she's been secretly dating Mr. Pumper. Has this been confirmed?

The Montgomery county public schools students will get a surprise when they will return from their holidays, because the principals of their schools have been changed and this has been done to bring a fresh and a new principal who can work more efficiently with higher aims. This strategy of the Montgomery county public schools is that they should keep on shuffling the principals of the schools. This has also happened before when an ex-principal of the school was shifted to Washington and he was also demoted on the post of assistant principal. Alex Apostle, the superintendent of the Montgomery county public schools is performing all these tasks.

What’s more, parts of the side body share design cues with the Taurus sedan, which shares its underpinnings with the new Explorer.
The interior is more refined and offers more technology and creative features, such as optional inflatable rear seat belts.
But the big challenge facing the new Explorer is whether it will be embraced by SUV loyalists and also appeals to those who’ve traded SUVs for more fuel-efficient alternatives.
“It will be very interesting to put this up against the GrandCherokee, which is still very much the traditional-style SUV,” said Aaron Bragman, an analyst for IHS Automotive. The new Explorer, he said, “does not so much feel … like an SUV.” But that may be smart, as drivers continue shifting to more fuel-efficient vehicles that offer SUV-like capabilities.
Adding to the challenge: Ford will market the Explorer as an SUV, even though it is a car-based crossover with less towing power than the outgoing Explorer. Jim Farley, Ford’s group vice president of marketing, said what matters most to consumers are fuel efficiency and capability — not whether the vehicle is a crossover or an SUV.
The new Explorer delivers in those areas. Equipped with the standard V6 engine, the Explorer delivers a fuel-efficiency improvement of at least

“After a decade's worth of effort, musicians from Columbus State Community College will get the chance to perform on a stage once filled by John Philip Sousa. The Tuesday concert at the Southern Theatre will serve as a rite of passage for the college's four performance groups - Chorus Columbus State, the Gospel Vocal Ensemble, the Woodwind Ensemble and the Concert Band.

“The concert will be the first for the groups in the theater. 'I've been working on this for 10 years, to get us into the Southern,' said Thomas Lloyd, who teaches music history at the college and directs the Concert Band and Woodwind Ensemble. Lloyd sought the Southern for a pair of reasons. 'It does lend us a degree of credibility,' he said. 'And it's a wonderful venue.' The four groups will perform some classics of band and choral music.”

“The band will also play a movement from Afro-American Symphony by William Grant Still, a mid-20th-century composer whose career included stints in Ohio.” “The Woodwind Ensemble will play Folk Suite No. 1 by Still. The Southern Theatre concert is a milestone for Columbus State, but the performance groups have built momentum in recent years. The gospel group, for example, had 18 public performances during winter quarter. It has appeared in prisons; at festivals; and at venues such as the Statehouse, the King Arts Complex and the Lincoln Theatre, Easton said.”

“We have won eight out of nine African championships since 1994. We came second only once to South Africa in the 2002 edition held in Nairobi, Kenya. A sport like that should not be scrapped from the National Sports Festival. Instead it should be pushed to become a scoring event in the All Africa Games and Commonwealth Games to deliver medals for Nigeria,” he said.
According to Faloye, Nigerian scrabble players are the only players from Africa who attend the annual international Course Way Scrabble Challenge in Malaysia because Nigeria is the only Africa country in the top eight in the world with a world ranking of four.

He used the opportunity to commend Alfred Temile and the Shell Scrabble Club in Warri for the sponsorship of the scrabble tournament meant for the Niger Delta because it is a way to fight the youth restiveness in the region.
“Scrabble has a subtle way of refining bad children and keeping those interested in the sport from crime. It is a way of curbing restiveness and crime in our society,”he said.
He said with adequate sponsorship, going for tournaments abroad will not be stressful for players, stressing that Wellington Jighere who represented the country in Malaysia last year had to pay over N300,000 for his flight ticket even as a university student.
Faloye, who won bronze and gold medals in the Masters event in scrabble for Ondo State at the National Sports Festival in Abuja in 2004 and Ogun (Gateway Games) in 2006, said that “Nigeria has a massive comparative advantage in the game of scrabble at international championships and all our current international players were developed through the scrabble federation here.”
He said that if a token from the billions approved for football each year is given to scrabble and other sports, the country will reap benefits from them in Africa and globally.

Last night the kids had their race. Because Aiden is 5 and Addy is 3 they ran the same race. Prior to the race it poured with some severe lightning and thunder. I was thinking it was going to be canceled, but the rain stopped and humidity hit hard. Because Aiden is 5 they ran by age so we were one of the last heats. We stood there waiting for about an hour. It took FOREVER! However, Addy was well behaved and Aiden found a caterpillar so he was distracted. We finally ran and they had a good time and took great pride in their medals and Twinkies and hot dogs.

This morning I woke up at 4 am due to a loud burst of thunder and lightning. I planned on waking up at 4:30, but my nerves started to kick in and I decided to just get up.

It is time for the Red Bull Flugtag in Minneapolis. The Red Bull Flugtag challenges the brave and brainy to design, build and pilot homemade flying machines off a 30-foot high flight deck in hopes of soaring into the wild blue yonder…or often, plunging into the waters below. Flugtag, which means “flying day” in German, pushes the envelope of human-powered flight, but competitors need more than airtime to reach the podium. Teams are judged on three criteria: flight distance, creativity of the craft, and showmanship. This criteria has inspired flying tacos, prehistoric pterodactyls, winnebagos with wings and even Snoopy and the gang to grace the Flugtag flight decks! And after a year with no Red Bull Flugtags in the US, 2010 promises to be bigger and better than ever.

This will be Red Bull Flugtag’s debut in the Twin Cities, and this Land of 10,000 Lakes promises to deliver quite a show. This July, more than 30 teams from across the Midwest will fly above the Mississippi River in front of thousands at Harriet Island Regional Park near Downtown St. Paul.by daily post

The symptoms rapidly progressed until she could walk only with twisted, the termination step, and it was difficult to read, making simple math – even remembering things. Her condition put an end to its once wild life.
“I want to work, I want to do something,” she said. “But who will hire someone who can not remember what they did yesterday?”
Jennings developed another symptom of the odd – odd foreign accent, the Midwestern woman suddenly sounded British. “It sounds as an accent, but it is not. I just can not say a word more,” she said.
But perhaps the worst thing that happens when Jennings was trying to recall specific memories. In its “20/20″ interview, speech, Jennings handed stuttering, it’s a complete nonsense.
“The mind keeps bouncing around and it will not stand for that memory,” she said. “He gets garbled up on a bad hard drive, so to speak.”

AMBER ROSE & TAHIRY ARE ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS" -BENZINO


Each cover has its own look. The one that Tahiry's in, we had did the Peek-A-Book cover, we kinda coined that phrase where we're showing her on the beach where the lifeguard is stationed then our art director kicked the door out and then the door sticks back on with the cover. It's pretty dope.
Right now, this big 3-D revolution is taking over and the idea just came to me. It just came to me. I asked our art director if he could do the 3-D and he said he actually had to learn it himself with the software that enables you to do 3-D.
Dave Mays reached out to Amber Rose's peoples. Her brother Antonio is really cool. So Dave reached out and they accepted. Of course it's a business so people are compensated but she thought it would be real

The Los Angeles Lakers have sat back and watched while the Miami Heat have stolen the spotlight by signing three big name free agents this off season. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh have been the brightest stars signed this summer, but that does not mean the Lakers are handing over their throne.

L.A. has won two straight NBA championships, and this week they have taken steps to ensure that a third may be in their future next June. The Heat may have landed the stars, but the Lakers added two veteran presences that could help them defend their title.

Theo Ratliff and Matt Barnes both signed with Los Angeles this week. Ratliff will provide defense and rebounding off the bench as a backup center, and Barnes will bring even more toughness to a team that already added Ron Artest last off season.

Kobe Bryant has now made it a habit of seeking out players that have mental and physical toughness, and luring them to L.A. Barnes gave Bryant a shout out on his Twitter account after announcing he was signing with the Lakers. Barnes will be another shooter and strong defender off the bench for the Lakers.

Clearly, the Barnes move was made to off set any advantage the Heat may have if the teams meet in the finals. Analysts have pointed out that Wade, Bryant, Gasol and Bosh should cancel each other out. With Artest, and all NBA defender, and Barnes, the Lakers now have two guys that can play lock down defense on James. Throw in Andre Bynum and Lamar Odom, and it appears L.A. may again be the favorites to win the NBA tile next season.

When As The World Turns stops turning this fall on CBS, the network will launch a The View competitor with a half dozen semi-recognizable female names hosting a lady-obsessed show with a focus on motherhood and kids. There will be a homosexual woman on it!
We've got Big Brother host Julie Chen (who happens to be married to CBS chief Les Moonves), America's Got Talent's Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete (from Celebrity Apprentice), Leah Remini (from the Church of Scientology and Fat Guy, Skinny Wife), and Marissa Jaret Winokur, who is The Awesome.
And then there's Sara Gilbert, of Roseanne and The Big Bang Theory fame, who will not only appear on the show but also developed it; she'll serve as executive producer. She's also a lesbian. And a mom! Wife Allison Adler gave birth to son Levi in 2004, and Sara had daughter Sawyer in 2007.
I would very much like to see this as-yet-untitled show air segments from The View where Sherri Shepherd discusses her own parenting skills, and then have Sara Gilbert match wits. Because this is already how I watch The View in my head. by queerty

Debit-card provider Green Dot Corp.'s IPO shot up 20% on its first trade Thursday after pricing above its expected range, overshadowing the debut of energy efficiency specialist Ameresco Inc.

GM is already working with AmeriCredit to provide auto loans to customers with "non-prime" or poor credit ratings. But this deal will also allow GM to do more with leases, which after almost dying during the recession are starting to make a comeback in the auto industry and could account for as much as a quarter of auto sales this year.
"This is a really good, strong, strategic move for the company. Every car they don't sell because of a lack of financing is money left on the table and negatively impacts the balance sheet," said Rebecca Lindland, an analyst with IHS Automotive.
The automaker said it will continue to work with Ally Financial, the former GMAC finance company, for loans to customers with good credit and to provide inventory financing for dealers.
It would be both politically and financially untenable to sever the relationship with Ally to channel all of its financing business to AmeriCredit, said Kirk Ludtke, an analyst at CRT Capital Group inStamford, Conn.

The top searched keyword at the moment is that 4chan is family oriented. That is a very weird and nonsensical notion because 4chan is not a person; it is a website that hosts anonymous posts along with images. Anyone could post anything on 4chan without any apparent restrictions, apart from their rules. The concept of the website being family oriented really doesn’t make any sense because assuming that 4chan was indeed family oriented, they would never have had the “adult” section of their forum that has nothing but nude and r rated pictures. Inclusion of that forum makes 4chan a non-family oriented website. 

There are definitely some very interesting forums on the 4chan website and most of them contain information that couldn’t be found anywhere else on the internet, but that doesn’t make the site family oriented. The only thing that might have made the 4chan website somewhat family oriented is a new forum topic by the name of “relationship issues” or “how to be a good father” or maybe even something like “family issues”, but clearly there isn’t anything like that on the website and that makes the website a very “individual” approach site that is suitable only for people who are viewing the site without the accompaniment of a family member (well maybe a spouse doesn’t count). 

There are millions of people searching for how 4chan is family oriented but there isn’t a valid answer to that question yet and there doesn’t seem to be anyone who has the slightest clue as to what this thing means.  by infocust

Facebook on Wednesday announced a remarkable milestone: 500 million active monthly users. And the velocity of its growth raises a mind-boggling possibility: Could Facebook reach 1 billion "friends" next year? That would be roughly 1 out of every 7 human beings on the planet.
If Facebook gallops ahead at its current pace, the 1 billion mark would indeed be reached in 2011. The online social network Mark Zuckerberg and a few Harvard classmates founded in 2004 went from zero to 250 million users in five years — and doubled that number over the past 12 months despite controversy regarding its privacy protocols.
Zuckerberg, 26, has said the 1 billion milestone is "almost a guarantee" — not a matter of if, but when.
Facebook, perceived by some Internet moguls as a fad just a few years ago, is still a private company but an industry colossus and a highly anticipated the candidate for an initial public stock offering. The free service lets individuals share news, photos, videos and comments with personal networks of "friends," and makes money primarily through advertisements targeted to users based on information gleaned from their online profiles.

The voluntary effort, which involves building a set of modular containment equipment that would be kept on standby for emergency use, comes as oil companies seek to persuade the Obama administration to lift a temporary ban on deepwater drilling. The moratorium was imposed after the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded on April 20 and spewed millions of gallons of oil into the gulf.

Officials said the spill served as a wake-up call for the industry, which had invested billions of dollars to develop oil and gas resources in ever-deeper waters offshore but neglected to devise spill-response technology that could be effective in thousands of feet of water.

Environmentalists, members of Congress and federal and state officials have already made it clear that the industry will face tougher regulations when drilling resumes. The emergency response plan is part of the oil industry’s effort to show it can improve its safety procedures and shape the inevitable rules of conduct that will be imposed.

The plan — which was put together by Exxon Mobil, Chevron, ConocoPhillips and Royal Dutch Shell — incorporates many of the lessons that BP was forced to learn the hard way in trying to cap a gushing oil well 5,000 feet below the ocean’s surface.

Another day, another Bieber rumor and today’s hot gossip suggests that Canadian teen sensation Justin Bieber has converted to Scientology.
We’ve done our standard background checking on the rumor, and besides some contact with Will Smith’s kid, Bieber has had no contact with Scientologist that we can find.
This isn’t to say that the rumor might not be true: Scientology has strong entertainment industry backers and are always on the lookouts for converts.
