'Vanity Fair' charts Jay Z's most name-dropped brands
Listen to Jay Z on iHeartRadio
Jay Z is known for rapping about everything from brand name watches to high end cars, but which product does Hova name-drop the most?
VanityFair.com has finally answered that question with a graph that charts the brands Jay Z mentions in each of his 12 albums, as well as his Watch the Throne collaboration album with Kanye West.
After poring over Jay's lyrics, the magazine found that his most rapped about brand is Gucci, a name he's dropped 34 times in his songs. While Gucci may have been his go-to fashion brand over the years, it didn't even make the cut for his last album, Magna Carta Holy Grail. Instead, Jay showed his love for fashion designer Tom Ford, which got nine mentions on the album and was even chosen as a song title.
As far as rides go, Mercedes Benz seems to be Jay's favorite. Jay has dropped the luxury carmaker's name 30 times.
Other brands that Jay has mentioned often are Lexus, Bentley, Cristal, Range Rover and BMW, as well as the gunmakers Glock and Kel-Tec.

RA picks the April festival highlights from across the globe.
Their home country may not appreciate them quite as much as the outside world. But with a debut album on the way, things look set to change for Canyons, one of Australia's most exciting new groups.
The celebrated remixer has, with his third commercially released mix CD, put out one of the early contenders for mix of the year. We catch up with the Berlin-based DJ/producer in advance of his Snowbombing 2010 appearance.
He's traded in the top hat for more sensible head gear. His music, however, remains anything but. We catch up with the eccentric producer in advance of his appearance at 5 Days Off.
He has one of the most celebrated live acts in all of electronic music. And he ain't a shabby DJ either. We catch up with Frank Heinrich, AKA Reboot, in advance of his Time Warp 2010 appearance to talk Frankfurt, albums and Sven Vath.

I'm gonna change the N to a style thats similar to the K.
I'm gonna change the N to a style thats similar to the K.
nek the k is a little flat on the right leg, keep practicing
Snoke - All good but the N and the K. That N needs fixing a lot. It looks more like a K than the K does.
For the N you should drop how big the bend is on the right leg. You can still round it. Just don't cut it directly in the half of the letter. Maybe bring it down or something.
The K - That little bump on the right side of the K needs to be lowered as well. The rest of the K seems fine. Just lower the entire right side of the K.
snoke your n reminds me of a k,tweek the top of it
Snoke fix your N and take the dick off your K..
lol ^ agreed
heres some quick throws i did and taped to my wall haha
crits? opinions?
Fix your s and that shit would look sick
erays toss looks pretty good id rather see a different e but overall its still pretty nice
Only Fuck Fat Bitches Crew !!
and you s just needs the bottom part changed up something like mine look
Only Fuck Fat Bitches Crew !!
sick handstyle erays
i start do on walls 3 months ago , im from brazil and how no have brazilian forums for graffiti i create this account today in this forum , this is my arts and i want crits and opinions , sorry for bad english, and sorry if this is the wrong session , sorry for layout too , sorry for all hahahahahahah !
is this , hugs!
Mad potential on those throws. just work on defining your letters more, such as your A and O, as well as your N - it looks like a blend of an N and a funky uppercase A. Otherwise, its fresh and sticks in your memory.
^^ thanks trying to have a few diff styles
im not feeling the isosceles triangle in your s. your r and e are pretty, through. same with your friends w+i connection. i hope you continue to write graffiti, friend.

Box Score (PDF)
INDIANAPOLIS - The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team gave No. 17 Butler more all that it could handle for a majority of Wednesday night's game at the Bulldogs' historic Hinkle Fieldhouse, but the Quakers could not make the winning plays down the stretch and ended up falling, 70-57.
Penn (2-10) got within two points of Butler with less than 15 minutes to play, and was within a possession down just three with less than nine minutes to play. At that point, however, the Bulldogs (11-2) got a layup from Roosevelt Jones that kicked off a 10-point, unanswered run from which Penn could not recover.
Penn was led in the game by junior Miles Cartwright, who had 15 points, while freshman Tony Hicks had histhird double-digit performance of the seasonwith 10. He was the only other Quaker to score in double digits.
Butler was led by Jones, who had 24 points, while Khyle Marshall had 14 and Kellen Dunham scored 10.
Penn was successful in keeping the Hinkle crowd of 6,406 quiet for much of the first half, although Butler took a lead at 10-8 and never trailed again in the contest. Penn tied the score once, at 18-18 when Jamal Lewis drained a three pointer. However, the Bulldogs responded with a dunk from Marshall and then a trey from Rotnei Clarke - as it turned out, the only one Butler's leading scorer hit among his nine attempts during the game.
Butler was simply dominant on the boards in the opening stanza, outrebounding Penn 20-8 including 11 offensive boards that led to 18 second-chance points and a 20-2 edge on points in the paint. (The Quakers were far better containing the Bulldogs in the second stanza, holding them to two offensive boards and no second-chance points.)
Penn was down 35-29 at the half and trailed 42-35 early in the second period, but free throws by Darien Nelson-Henry and Cartwright were followed by a layup from Nelson-Henry. With that, the score was 42-40 and the Hinkle crowd rose to implore its team. Instead, Clarke turned it over, but with the chance to tie or take the lead Penn turned it right back over and Nelson-Henry was whistled for a foul on defense. That led to a free throw from Andrew Smith. Cartwright then missed a jumper, and Marshall threw down another dunk to make the score 45-40.
The run kept going until Butler's lead was 52-42, but Penn had one final charge in it. Cameron Gunter nicely handled a feed from Lewis and turned it into a layup, then Hicks drained a three. Both teams had a pair of empty possessions after that, before Hicks got into the lane for a layup that made the score 52-49.
Again the crowd rose up. Again Butler heard them.
Almost immediately after Hicks' layup, Jones backed his man down for a layup that made the score 54-49. Penn turned the ball over, and then fouled Dunham who hit a pair of free throws. Two more missed jumpers by the Quakers were followed by a Jones jumper. In all, Butler scored 10 straight points to push its lead to 13, at 62-49.
Penn got within eight points, at 62-54, when Henry Brooks hit two foul shots, but Butler scored the game's next eight points to put this game away.
Penn returns to action Saturday at La Salle in its second Big 5 tilt of the season. The Quakers and Explorers will tip off at 2 p.m. at the Tom Gola Arena.
Game Notes: Penn played for the second straight game without leading scorer Fran Dougherty, who did not make the trip to Indianapolis due to mononucleosis ... This was Penn's first game against a ranked opponent this season ... Penn shot 53.3 percent from three-point land in the game (8-of-15), a season high ... Junior guard Miles Cartwright led Penn in scoring with 15 points, his team-leading eighth double-figure scoring game this season and 41st at Penn ... Cartwright has led Penn in scoring in two straight games, three of the last four contests, four of the last six, and five games this season ... Freshman guard Tony Hicks scored 10 points against the Bulldogs, his third double-figure scoring game this season ... Freshman guard Jamal Lewis set a season/career high with six assists; in addition, he has scored a combined 28 points in the previous three games to raise his scoring average from 4.1 points per game to 5.5 ppg.

I actually have 255/50r20 on my 2007 CX-9. They fit and ride fine. They handle the rutted dirt roads with ease, and handle well in the snow. I'm not to fond of the 40,000 mile wear prediction of the tires, but I haven't gotten that far yet. Ran over a razor blade, so I'm hoping I don't have to replace all 4.

Had these swapped in October and so far I am satisfied. I am doing winter driving with these tires here in Toronto and no complaints. It slips in snow sometimes but it gets the job done. Dry ground it is amazing how sticky the rubber is.

Tarantulas belong in the class of arthropods, Arachnida. They are further classified into the order Araneae, and then into the family Theraphosidae. There are over 800 species of tarantula worldwide, found on every continent except Antarctica.
There are several subspecies of rose tarantulas, yet Chilean rose tarantulas are found exclusively in Chile, South America.
Chilean rose tarantulas were thought to be a burrowing species, but current observations indicate that they may hide out or make retreats above ground and hunt at night. Tarantulas generally live in burrows or trees.
Body: 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) or longer. Leg span: up to 5.75 inches (14.6 cm) Weight: varies; females are larger and heavier than males.
Not researched in the wild. It is estimated that males up to 6 years; females up to 20 years. For tarantulas in general, the life span is species dependent. In captivity, males up to 3.5 years; females, more than 20 years.
In the wild: Insects and other arthropods. Occasionally, small animals. At the zoo: One cricket per week
Mating can occur anytime of the year, and is highly dependent on the species or its environmental conditions. Burrowing species of tarantulas do not have good vision, so mating proceeds by sense of touch, smell and vibration. As a prospective male carefully approaches, the female rears back on her hind legs. The male rubs her with his pedipalps on the sternum to calm her down. As he pushes her upright, he uses his first set of legs to hook onto her fangs to prevent her from attacking him. The male then deposits sperm from each pedipalp. After detaching, he quickly backs away. Contrary to a popular myth, females rarely kill the male after mating; most male tarantulas live for another one to two years after mating.
Before laying her eggs, the female makes a silk egg capsule to protect them from predators and fluctuating environmental conditions. Any amount from 100 to over 500 eggs are laid in the egg sac, depending on the vitality of the female. Some species of tarantulas leave the egg capsule in their burrow, however other species of tarantula carry the eggs with them. Young spiderling tarantulas hatch about six weeks later, sometimes incubation can take longer. Although the egg sac is well guarded until the spiderlings hatch, the young are abandoned after hatching. Maturity for male tarantulas occurs in one to two years; they live for six to 18 months thereafter (in captivity). Female tarantulas take longer to mature, requiring three to 10 years to become an adult.
Hair covers the entire body of tarantulas; it is their most important means of sensory input, and serves several functions. Some hairs contain temperature or smell receptors. Other hairs can detect airborne vibration. Hairs in certain areas, mostly on the abdomen, can act as an itchy irritant to potential predators. At the end of each leg, there are two hidden tarsal claws, which yield great maneuverability for the burrowing tarantulas. For arboreal tarantulas, these claws provide stability in walking and allow the tarantula to hang on to vertical surfaces. Yet, the velvety pads of hair behind these claws are far more important, since they cushion the tarantula while it walks.
Woodland Park Zoo has many species of tarantulas, including the Chilean rose, Mexican redkneed, pinktoed and curlyhaired. They are located at Woodland Park Zoo's Bug World but are not currently on view. You'll go "buggy" while viewing exciting seasonal displays that take you on a journey to different bioclimatic zones around the world. You may come face-to-face with recycling cockroaches, assassin bugs, web-spinning spiders or scuba diving beetles, to name only a few. The only way you'll find out which bugs you'll encounter is by visiting Bug World. Don't miss it!
The greatest threat to the tarantula's existence is habitat destruction. A tarantula's habitat can be affected by excessive forestry, agricultural/residential/commercial development or drainage of wetlands. Although several species of spiders are considered threatened or close to extinction, little is known about the future of tarantulas. It is quite possible that some tarantula species have yet to be discovered. Another threat to the existence of tarantulas is the rapidly expanding market for tarantulas as pets. There are few conservation measures for the preservation of tarantulas. However, there are many restrictions on the importation of tarantulas into the United States.
For humans, tarantulas pose little threat, and are an invaluable aid in destroying harmful, crop-eating insects. To conserve habitat for tarantulas and other spiders, reduce your use of pesticides, and work to preserve vegetation in your neighborhood and in tropical regions.
The effort to save endangered species requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Please do not buy wild animals as pets or animal products made from wild-caught animals.
Contact Woodland Park Zoo at firstname.lastname@example.com to find out how you can support conservation efforts at the zoo. Discover more about spiders by contacting the American Tarantula Society on the Internet at www.concentric.net/~DmaMarrtin/ats; or call 505-748-2483.

'"Nothing against the referees, I've got everything to do against that call," a shaken Miller said. "I felt like I had possession and he played me, not the puck. I got kind of spun off it a bit. It's a judgment call by [the ref]. He said he saw our guy and their guy battling, which I don't know how that has anything to do with me. So, yeah, I disagree."'

Former Tenn. Politician arrested for masturbating out car window while going 90 MPH
WJHL-TV: News: Weather, and Sports for Johnson City, TN
Mediaite - A former Tennessee politician was arrested and charged with indecent exposure after he allegedly masturbated out his car window while driving 90 mph on Interstate 26 earlier this year. Apparently this is not a new multi-tasking endeavor for the former Mount Carmel vice mayor — the charges mirror complaints made him against him several years ago that were never fully investigated. And now he's facing up to all of them.
William Lee Blakely was charged with one count of indecent exposure after a female motorist alleged that he "fondled himself" and made obscene gestures while they drove next to one another on the highway.

Bridge bomber sentenced to 10 years
(Akron) — The last of five defendants in a failed anti-Wall Street plot to bomb a highway bridge near Cleveland has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Joshua Stafford could have received life in prison during sentencing Monday in an Akron federal court.
The 25-year-old Cleveland man was convicted in June of two counts of using weapons of mass destruction and one count of explosive materials. He served as his own attorney at trial.
Prosecutors say Stafford tried to use his cellphone to detonate explosives and wasn't aware that they were fakes created in a government sting. The intended target was a highway bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park between Cleveland and Akron.
Stafford's co-defendants pleaded guilty and received sentences of six to 11½ years.
No bomb went off, and no one was injured. The government described the suspects as self-proclaimed anarchists who acted out of anger against corporate America and the government.
Responding to defense objections to a presentence report, the judge said evidence was clear that Stafford was part of a conspiracy "that had as its goal the destruction of the bridge, all of which was an outgrowth of the Occupy Cleveland" anti-corporate movement.
An informant who secretly recorded conversations helped FBI agents foil the bomb plot, and an undercover agent supplied the would-be bombers with fake plastic explosives, authorities said.
Douglas Wright, 27, of Indianapolis, was sentenced to 11½ years in prison; Brandon Baxter, 21, of Lakewood, to nine years and nine months; Connor Stevens, 21, of Berea, to eight years; and Anthony Hayne, 37, of Cleveland, six years.
The defense had argued that the men never meant to hurt anyone and were goaded by the ex-convict working as an FBI informant.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- If the Lindsey Wilson College
alumni who visited the A.P. White Campus this weekend shared one
common opinion, it was how much the college has changed.
That's what college officials heard from alumni who attended
events at the college's 80th homecoming weekend.
"The one comment I heard over and over again was how much this
place had changed, how much it had grown with the expansion and new
buildings," LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. said at the homecoming
awards brunch on Saturday morning in Roberta D. Cranmer Dining
& Conference Center. "And these were comments from students who
had graduated two years ago … not 40 years ago."
At the brunch, the Lindsey Wilson National Alumni Association
honored two of its graduates and made a longtime LWC staff member
an honorary member of its association.
The Distinguished Alumnus Award was presented to longtime
educator Bill Mauney of Somerset, Ky., a
1961 LWC alumnus; Dr. Ricky Farmer of
Somerset, a 2000 alumnus, received the Outstanding Young Alumnus
Award; and Nancy Sinclair of
Summersville, Ky., who has been an LWC staff member since 1987, was
named an Honorary Alumna of the association.
Also on Saturday afternoon, a new king and queen were crowned at
the LWC-Kentucky Christian University football game. Lydia
Tiller of Columbia was crowned 2011 homecoming queen, and
Daniel Pulliam of Crestwood, Ky., was crowned
Tiller, who represented the Bonner Scholars, is the daughter of
Mike and Linda Tiller of Columbia. She is an LWC junior, majoring
in biology, Christian ministries and secondary education.
Pulliam, who represented the Student Activities Board is the son
of Wayne and Karen Pulliam of Crestwood. He is a psychology
Since Luckey became the college's eighth president on July 1,
1998, more than a couple dozen buildings have been added to the
A.P. White Campus and enrollment has almost doubled. This Friday,
the college will dedicate its two latest buildings - Jerry and
Kendrick McCandless Hall will be dedicated at 11 a.m. CT, and Dr.
Robert and Carol Goodin Center for Nursing and Counseling will be
dedicated at 11:30 a.m. CT.
But Luckey said the essence of LWC has remained the same.
"While the physical appearance of the college continues to
change as we dedicate two new buildings next Friday, it is our
mission, our commitment to students, that remains constant," he
Luckey said probably the biggest change at LWC over the last 13
years has been one of the least-noticed -- the number of full-time
faculty has increased by 170 percent. LWC had 42 full-time faculty
when Luckey became president; this school year it added 18 new
faculty positions to increase that number to 113.
"And while you can see and experience the physical changes in
the new facilities, I would argue that it's the growth and the
strengthening of the faculty where the most dramatic changes are
taking place," he said. "That to me is so much more important than
a new building."

AND GNR TO REUNITE AT ROCK HALL OF FAME INDUCTION? Rod Stewart will perform in public with his old band, The Faces, for only the second time since they broke up in 1975 when they're inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on April 14, reports Britain's New Musical Express. The surviving members last played in public at the Brit Awards in 1993 when Stewart was presenting its Lifetime Achievement Award.
In an interview with MusicRadar, Faces drummer Kenny Jones said, "We're all still great mates and we've never said we wouldn't play together again. We all had dinner about a month ago and decided that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would be the perfect time and place."
Jones also noted that Stewart and the band that also includes guitarist Ron Wood and keyboardist Ian McLagan, rehearsed in private three years ago, "just to see if the magic was still there - and it was." But Stewart's schedule, including an extensive long-term engagement in Las Vegas, wouldn't allow for any concerts. So, over the past couple of years The Faces have toured the U.K., Europe and Asia with former Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall and ex-Sex Pistols bassist Glen Matlock.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers will be inducted without the presence or participation of former guitarist John Frusciante, an integral member who was in the band twice, from 1988-92 and again from 1998 to 2009. Both were periods of intense concert and studio activity, resulting in several hit albums.
Drummer Chad Smith told Billboard, "He didn't feel comfortable, which we totally respect. We asked him." Smith added, "He's the kind of guy, I think, that once he's finished with something he's just on to the next phase of his life. The Chili Peppers are really not on his radar right now."
Alas, it doesn't appear that another band set to be inducted that night, Guns N' Roses, will reunite in performance at the ceremony, even though it does look as though all of the original members will attend.
Original guitarist Slash, who just released a new solo single, "You're a Lie," tells Canada's QMI, "We're not playing." He says that group is in his past, saying, "it's been so long since I had anything to do with Guns N' Roses. I would imagine that they (the Hall braintrust) asked us to play, but I know that we're not playing." Slash and GNR frontman Axl Rose haven't performed together since 1993.
In other GNR news, the band's "Greatest Hits" CD found itself at No. 3 on the Billboard Album chart because Google Play and Amazon MP3 both offered the album for 25 cents. Billboard recently instituted a new rule disallowing any new album on its charts that sells for less than $3.99, but since this isn't a new album, but rather an older catalog "product," it counts.
MANILOW RECOUPS BUT STILL PERFORMS IN PAIN Barry Manilow continues to recover from surgery to reattach his hip muscles to both of his 69-year-old hips, his second hip surgery in six years.
However, he's still performed half-a-dozen concerts.
In a Rolling Stone interview, the hip-swiveling "Copacabana" guy says of his painful recuperation, "It's coming along slowly - too slowly for me. But I was able to get through six shows. (However) as soon as I finished, the curtain would close and I'd fall back into a wheelchair."
When asked if there's anyone he'd like to tour with, he listed a few.
"There have only been a handful that make sense, like Elton John and Billy Joel make sense. The only other two artists I could think of would be Neil Diamond and Bette (Midler, for whom he served as pianist and music director early in her career). Other than that, I've never been able to come up with another name."
For the past few years, Manilow mostly restricted his performing to his residency at the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, but will be headlining the big Fourth of July extravaganza, July 2-4, at the Hollywood Bowl that will see him backed by the L.A. Philharmonic Orchestra.
MORE SURGERY FOR ROBIN GIBB Former Bee Gee Robin Gibb, 62, who has fought a fierce battle with intestinal disorders and colon and lung cancer, has undergone additional intestinal surgery for the second time in a year, according to Reuters. He's recuperating in a London hospital and his event calendar has been wiped clean. It was only last month that he claimed that his doctors pronounced his recovery, "spectacular."
JAMES TAYLOR JOINS MARY CHAPIN CARPENTER James Taylor joins country folk-rocker Mary Chapin Carpenter on her upcoming 12 th studio album, "Ashes and Roses," that will be released June 12, according to the Boot. Taylor joins the five-time Grammy-winning songstress, who has racked up more than 13 million album sales since 1987, on a new composition she wrote, "Soul Companion."
At the end of April, Carpenter and her old friend, Shawn Colvin, will tour together for the first time as a duo. The brief eight-date tour takes place in venues across the country. On Aug. 19, she'll perform with Arlo Guthrie at Chicago's Ravinia Festival, the oldest music festival in the country (it began in 1911).
Taylor begins a European tour this week. His 20-concert jaunt ends May 18 in Reykjavik, Iceland. After taking a month off, he'll then undertake a 22-date tour of America east of the Mississippi that kicks off on June 20 in Pittsburgh.
AEROSMITH & CHEAP TRICK ROCK TOGETHER Aerosmith, having patched up their differences with singer-American Idol judge Steven Tyler, will embark on a "Global Warming" summer tour of America with opening act Cheap Trick. So far, only the first leg of the tour has been announced. Included in the initial 18 shows is an
Aug. 6 gig at the Hollywood Bowl.
BEATLES HOMES MAKE NEWS Homes owned by the Beatles are making news. It's well known that since the early '70 s, George Harrison owned the fabled 120-room Victorian mansion and estate known as Friar Park in Henley-on-Thames, England, which features 34 acres of lakes and gardens. His widow, Olivia, and son, Dhani, continue to reside there.
It's also well known that he owned a secluded mile-long, 63-acre beach-front enclave on the northern coast of east Maui in Hawaii.
Lesser known is his six-acre South Pacific compound on Hamilton Island in Australia, an island that his pal Grand Prix racer Jackie Stewart told him about. In 2007, Olivia told architectural Digest, "Jackie knew about Hamilton Island. It was underdeveloped, with only one bungalow on the entire island. It was pristine and stunning - just what George was looking for." Of her intensely private husband who had long since tired of the crowds and adulation, she said "I had the feeling that he maxed the planet out, looking for solitude. It was 'How far away can I get?"'
What was known by very few is that in the months prior to his death in 2001, George and Olivia purchased a 1.6-acre estate with a palatial Romanesque mansion at the summit of Montagnola in Ticino, Switzerland, with panoramic views of Lake Lugano and the Swiss Alps for approximately $15 million. This is where he underwent his last cancer treatments and spent most of the final months of his life.
The six-bedroom, four-floor mansion has been put on the market. As Britain's Daily Mail writes, "If you have to ask how much, you can't afford it." The paper says the estate has a "massive" wine cellar, a Roman-style swimming pool complete with fountains and classical-style statues.
The boyhood Liverpool homes of John Lennon and Paul McCartney were listed as historically important British buildings and cannot be altered in any way without government permission, notes Huffington Post U.K. The residences are Lennon's on Menlove Avenue, where he first learned to play guitar, and the McCartney house on Forthlin Road, where Sir Paul lived for nine years, and where the Beatles rehearsed. Both homes are now managed by the National Trust. The homes in which Harrison and Ringo Starr grew up were not listed.
CLAPTON BUYS A CAR - AND WHAT A CAR! Eric Clapton has a new car. It's a Ferrari, but not any Ferrari that can be acquired down at the local dealership. Clapton, who owns a well-known collection of some of the world's most expensive Ferraris ever built, has added a one-of-a-kind model that the auto maker vows to never duplicate.
He paid a record $4.8 million for it; six times the cost of the previously most expensive car produced by the Italian car company, according to Fox News.
The 66-year-old guitar deity helped design it to his exact specifications, working with Ferrari's Special Projects division.
Designed as a homage vehicle to the '70 s Ferrari 512 that is reportedly one of Clapton's favorite models, his new toy has a license plate reading SP 12 EPC, for Special Projects, the year, and his initials (Patrick is his middle name).
ARETHA CELEBRATES 70 th WITH NEW DEAL Aretha Franklin, who overcame a life-threatening illness last year, celebrated her 70 th birthday by announcing that she is leaving her longtime record company, Atlantic, and will rejoin Clive Davis and his Arista Records, according to her hometown Detroit Free Press. Davis played a major role in her successful comeback in the '80 s. The two will collaborate on a new album.
In other Franklin news, the First Lady of Soul says her doctors are still trying to figure out what's been causing the painful leg spasms that made it impossible to attend and perform at Whitney Houston's funeral. She told Access Hollywood that she is going to have an MRI and x-rays taken.
Also, Franklin told The Associated Press that her planned biopic is on hold. "It's in a limbo position. It's just a lot going on." She hinted that Taylor Hackford might direct. Among those she thought could portray her is Jennifer Hudson.
The singer has three concerts on her schedule in April and May in Cleveland, Kansas City and on Staten Island in New York City.
On April 14, she'll receive TV Land's Music Icon Award in New York City.
It's anticipated that she'll perform on the show that will be broadcast on April 29. Previous awardees include Lionel Ritchie, Blondie, Hall & Oates and Earth, Wind and Fire.
EL DEBARGE NOT CHARGED R&B idol El Debarge, 50, who has a history of drug abuse, will not be charged with possession of rock cocaine by the L.A. District Attorney, according to TMZ. The smooth singer known for his trademark falsetto was arrested in Encino and released on $30,000 bail. According to reports, even though police caught Debarge selling the drugs to another man, it was decided that he wouldn't be charged due to insufficient evidence.
WILLIE AND FRIENDS "Heroes," the latest album from Willie Nelson, sees the 78-year-old joined by a diverse group of artists on a diverse song lineup, according to CMT.
Among those helping out on the album that will be released on May 15 are Ray Price, Snoop Dogg and fellow Outlaw Country greats Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson and Billy Joe Shaver. Nelson covers the '30 s ballad, "My Window Faces the South," and two '40 s songs by Fred Rose, "Home in San Antone" and "Cold War With You" as well as Coldplay's "The Scientist" and "Just Breathe," from Pearl Jam.
In other Nelson news, the Texan rescued a pair of horses in South Carolina that were abused and neglected by its owner, reports the Summerville Patch.
The horses were severely underweight and had kerosene burns from when the owner tried to cure a fungus on their backs. While both horses have regained weight and their wounds are healing, the pair won't be transported to Nelson's ranch in Texas until they've made a bit more progress.
IOMMI & WOMACH CANCER UPDATES In a post on his website, Black Sabbath guitarist Toni Iommi said he's received his last dose of chemotherapy. "Hopefully my body will start to get back to normal soon, the steroids were the worst."
However, the 64-year-old native of Birmingham, England, reports that he's got three weeks of radiotherapy ahead. "I'm told (it) can be very tiring."
He notes that he and fellow Sabbath members Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler were able to continue to record Osbourne's first Sabbath album since the '80 s. "We managed to work most days and have some great new tracks."
Another Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, 68-year-old soul great Bobby Womack, is battling Stage 1 colon cancer, and was just released from a Houston hospital where he successfully overcame a bout of pneumonia, according to his friend, fellow Rock Hall member Bootsy Collins.
Among his accomplishments, Womack wrote "It's All Over Now," that became the first No. 1 hit in England for The Rolling Stones in 1964. The Palm Beach Post reports that Womack is due to have surgery but the date wasn't noted.
Womack, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009, will release his first album in a decade, "The Bravest Man in the Universe," in June, the same month that he's scheduled to perform in Houston and London.
GREGG ALLMAN'S BAD BACK Every year, The Allman Brothers stage a lengthy concert residency at the Beacon Theatre in New York City. During the ninth of the band's ten Beacon shows, singer-organist Gregg Allman had to leave the stage. Thirty minutes before the show's end, Allman experienced what was termed "excruciating pain" from a bulging disc in his back and was taken to the hospital. His back pain forced him to miss the tenth show as well. An Allman management spokesman said that Allman returned to his home in Savannah, Ga., "for evaluation and treatment. His condition is day to day, and he expects to meet all his confirmed obligations." Allman and band are set to play two sets at the Wanee Festival in Live Oak, Fla., on April 20 and 21.
GREG LAKE'S 'SONGS FOR A LIFETIME' Former Emerson, Lake and Palmer singer-bassist-guitarist Greg Lake will undertake an intimate 24-date solo tour of America beginning on April 15 in Boston. The show, "Songs of a Lifetime," follows the autobiographical storytelling format of last year's tour with ELP mate Keith Emerson that will also include a question and answer segment. Lake promises an evening full of music from ELP and his first major band, King Crimson. His autobiography will be released in book format at the end of the year.
Lake's tour stops at the Ventura Theatre on May 17 and the Orpheum in downtown L.A. on May 18, and the La Quinta Resort and Spa on May 26 which will end the tour.
WHITNEY HOUSTON'S CDs CHART The late Whitney Houston has seven albums on the Billboard Hot 100 Album chart, including three in the Top 20. "Whitney: The Greatest Hits" is at No. 6; "I Look to You" is No. 17 and her soundtrack to "The Bodyguard" is at No. 20.
TIM BOGERT RETIRES Veteran bassist Tim Bogert, whose five-decade career dates back to his days with heavy metal forefathers Vanilla Fudge in 1967 and continued with the supergroup Cactus and Beck, Bogert & Appice that featured fellow Vanilla Fudge member Carmine Appice and British Invasion guitar great Jeff Beck, has retired, according to KHTS 1220 AM.
Valencia resident Bogert, 67, called it a day with a free afternoon performance at the Courtyard by Marriott, Valencia, that saw him joined by a local band that was dubbed Mojo & The Magnetics that featured another British Invasion star, guitarist-singer Spencer Davis, as well as members and former members of Santana, Foreigner, Supertramp, Jack Mack & The Heart Attack and Toad the Wet Sprocket.
In 1967, Bogert and Vanilla Fudge produced a heavy, psychedelic version of The Supremes' 1965 No. 1 hit "You Keep Me Hangin' On," that they took to No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100. He also recorded and toured in 1981 with former McCoys leader Rick Derringer. Of his valedictory performance, Bogert said, "I really enjoyed it."
RECENT CDs Among the recently released new CDs, releases and deluxe releases are "Muscle Beach Party: The United Artists Sessions" from Frankie Avalon; "Great Gypsy Soul" from Tommy Bolin; The Cowboy Junkies' "Wilderness;" a 2-CD "En Vivo!," from Iron Maiden; "Tuskegee," Lionel Ritchie's debut foray into country music; "Beginnings" from Rick Springfield; a 2-CD "Young & Rich/Now" from The Tubes;
a 2-CD "I Feel So Far Away: Anthology 1974-1998," from former Velvet Underground drummer Moe Tucker, aka Maureen Tucker; "Mermaid Avenue: The Complete Sessions" from Billy Bragg & Wilco; "Hot Streets: Expanded Edition" from Chicago; and "Sonik Kicks," from former Jam and Style Council leader Paul Weller.
NOW PLAYING Motown legend Martha Reeves was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995. In the '60 s, Reeves fronted The Vandellas and took them to the top with such classics as "Nowhere to Run," "Dancing in the Street" and "(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave," but actually stopped performing between 2005-2009 because she was elected to the Detroit City Council. In 2010, at the conclusion of her term, she was back, performing 50 shows. The 70-year-old soul belter will perform at Anthology in San Diego on April 6.

Layton • Growing up, Stephen Olson loved board games all kinds of board games.
He played them with his family and friends. When he went to college at the University of Utah, he started a board game club with fellow students.
Eventually Olson's friends gave up board games for girlfriends, wives, children and other activities, and the club died out. But Olson's love for games never diminished.
Fast forward to 2012, and Olson is a math teacher at North Layton Junior High. It's his first year on the job, and he discovered there is no math club, so he volunteered to supervise one. He then discovers there is no chess club. It's one of the few board games he doesn't love, so he asked his administration if he could have a combination chess and board game club.
They consented.
On Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, the board game club meets after school from three to five. Olsen is a happy teacherhe gets the chance to play board games and share his knowledge and love of the game with students.
Olsen visited his parents' home and retrieved an assortment of his favorite games from youth including Ingenious, Small World and Tsuro. Other students play trading card games and still others play chess.
"I can't resist playing games," Olson said. "I play while I'm correcting papers."
The games help students with reassigning skills and logic. Small World teaches them about combination and how things can synergize or work against one another. Olson said the students also have to learn to put on their poker faces when playing.
While the majority of game playing is friendly, tension can break out.
"Small World gets a little heated," Olson said.
Seventh-grader Alex Chipman loves the structure of board games.
"I have Asperger's so this is one of the few times I can open up and enjoy myself," said Alex, who flits around the room checking out all the games. "I don't like it when people don't follow the rules. Here I don't have to worry about people going against the rules because if they don't follow them, the game won't work."
Alex's father, David Chipman, is a resource teacher at North Layton Junior High. He enjoys having Alex participate in the club. "It keeps him occupied and forces him to interact socially," he said. "I think it gives the kids a way of expressing their own personality without having to be afraid of what anybody else thinks about it because they all have a shared interest in the games. If you are passive or aggressive in your play it's OK, it's a game, and no one gets hurt."
Eighth-grader Miriam Wilson has always loved board games, and she has not missed a single day of club. At home she played Monopoly and Sorry. The club has introduced her to new games.
"I like playing with other people," Miriam said. "After I've played with them for a while, I know what they are thinking and what their next move is going to be."
At another table sit the trading-card gamers. Two brothers, Braden and Cameron Putnam, are in the club. They enjoy playing games with each other and their brother, but they joined the game club to play against new people.
"When you play with the same people all the time, you know exactly what they are going to do," Braden said.
Being able to pursue an individual interest also attracts students.
"It's a time to get away from my siblings, my family and have fun," said eighth-grader Devin Smith.
Math teacher Olson, like the kids, has his own reason for enjoying the club.
"It's a great stress reliever," he said.

- All interest on the amount withdrawn subject to penalty
In certain circumstances such as the death or incompetence of an owner of this account, the law permits, or in some cases requires, the waiver of the early withdrawal penalty. Other exceptions may also apply, for example, if this is part of an IRA or other tax-deferred savings plan.
For any time deposit which earns an interest rate that may vary from time to time during the term, the interest rate we will use to calculate this early withdrawal penalty will be the interest rate in effect at the time of the withdrawal.
**Accrual of Interest on Non-Cash Deposits: Interest begins to accrue no later than the business day we receive credit for the deposit of non-cash items (for example, checks).
Effect of Closing an Account: If you close your account before interest is credited, you will not receive the accrued interest.
This account will not automatically renew at maturity. If you do not renew the account, interest will not accrue after maturity.

Explore another culture without the jetlag. Wine Chateau brings you a wide selection of sake, a traditional Japanese rice wine, from both Japanese and American brewers. Explore the nuanced differences among brands when you buy online for less.
Many drinkers know sake as a Japanese drink served around the hibachi table, but there is more behind the beverage than one may realize. Just as wine is made with a select type of grape from a specific growing region, sake is made with a special kind of rice that undergoes a milling process to produce just the right flavor. Created through a process more like brewing beer, the rice is converted to starch, then to sugar and finally to alcohol. If you're new to sake, proceed with caution. Its water-like appearance may look harmless enough, but the process yields an ABV of 15-20 percent. That's higher than beer and wine, so know that this drink doesn't mess around.
As a result of processing and regions, each sake has layers and a profile all its own. Much like wine, different sake profiles include elements such as fragrance, acidity, savoriness, sweetness and other measures of complexity. We know you're excited to get a taste, but take in the aroma and full flavor of the sake before fully indulging. You may notice flavor notes that will complement cuisine from the region, including green tea, pine, celery, ginger and other earthy, spicy or herbal notes.
Serve it chilled, at room temperature or warmed up. There's no wrong way to drink sake – just the way we like it. Have it chilled on a warm summer night or heat it up for a nip in the winter. However you prefer it, drink it any way you like.
Still curious about sake but not ready to take the full plunge? Opt for flavored sake. It will provide a nice introduction to the beverage with delicious flavors including coconut lemongrass, Fuji apple, raspberry, Asian pear and more. If you're ready for a traditional sake, choose from organic and classic variations from reputable Japanese and American brewers. Shop our selection, and buy sake online for less at Wine Chateau.

Altuzarra Resort 2012
"I imagined resort in a Brigitte Bardot–in–St.-Tropez kind of way," said Joseph Altuzarra while showing his first pre-collection. "It's very zip-up and go, which people seem to like." It's true, there is a newfound effortlessness here that first surfaced in his soft parkas and floaty dresses for fall, hailing the start of a less-complicated approach to construction—a departure from the tough, urban aesthetic previously associated with his line. For resort, there's an alluring ease, not only in the dove-gray, candy-pink, and sorbet-lemon palette, but also in the feminine sixties construction of a broderie anglaise bustier dress, eyelet-printed skirts and jackets, and wrinkle-free blazers which, the designer insists, "are perfect for packing."
But despite showing his sweeter side, the collection still echoed fall's leanings towards the anti-glamour grunge scene of the nineties: "It's still the idea of making utility sexy and feminine," he said, gesturing towards an organza parka and lambskin biker jacket (softer versions of fall's best-selling pieces). "But still keeping it urban." That idea was underlined by sneaker-clad models: "Women wear them to work with suits and skirts," he added. "It's a very modern way of dressing."
This looser, lighter collection revealed the commercial viability of this young designer, which is sure to go over well with retailers and vacationing clients alike. So can we expect to see more of Altuzarra's romantic alter ego? "There was a commercial need for the line to move into resort and doing a pre-collection helped expand my range," he said. "But for a show, you want the message to be as strong as possible. This is more of a segue into spring."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - The antitrust agencies will continue ongoing merger reviews and initiating new ones despite the shutdown of most of the federal government. So while many other types of civil investigation are brought to a halt, most aspects of merger review will move along at something close to full speed. Although many functions of the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice Antitrust Division are being halted and employees in most areas sent on hiatus, both agencies have deemed staffers assigned to pre-merger investigations to be essential personnel because the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act puts the agencies under a 30-day deadline to clear a new merger application or launch an extended investigation of the deal with a second request for information. "Because the parties have a statutory right to file their pre-merger notification reports, the agencies have an implied responsibility to have adequate staff on hand to receive and promptly process the filings," according to a description of the FTC's plans for dealing with the shutdown posted on the commission's website. The four merger cases in litigation also appear to be moving ahead. Although the DOJ on Monday asked the federal appeals court in Washington to stay proceedings in the agency's challenge to US Airways Inc.'s plan to acquire AMR ( AAMRQ)'s American Airlines Inc., Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly refused. That trial is set to begin Nov. 25. In asking for the stay, DOJ citing federal litigators' inability to work on the case. "Absent an appropriation, Department of Justice attorneys and employees are generally prohibited from working, even on a voluntary basis, except in very limited circumstances, including 'emergencies involving the safety of human life or the protection of property,' " the DOJ said in its motion to the court. "This is creating difficulties for the
DOJ to perform the functions necessary to support its litigation efforts and, accordingly, the DOJ's policy is to seek a stay in all pending civil litigation," the department said. But Kollar-Kotelly found that DOJ is able to keep attorneys on the case, given the antitrust regulators' findings that keeping up with merger reviews and any associated litigation are necessary to protect merging parties' property and a judge has refused to stay a case.

Tax Freedom Day in Ohio
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WTVN) -- Today is the day that Ohioans will have paid their federal, state, and local tax obligations. Ohio Tax Freedom Day actually hits about a week before the national average. The Buckeye State is the 20th state to reach Tax Freedom Day.
"There's four states on the 14th and there's a few days before you that have ties. Overall the state will rank 23rd," said Lyman Stone with the Tax Foundation.
Stone says Ohio is middle of the pack both nationally and regionally when it comes to tax burden.
Tax burden can be influenced not only by tax policy in a state, but also the incomes of people living there since those with higher incomes pay more tax and those with lower incomes pay less.
Stone estimates Ohioans will pay 28.31 percent of their income to taxes.
"Americans will pay about $4.5 trillion in state, local, and federal taxes. On the other hand, they'll pay about $4.3 trillion on housing, clothing, and food," Stone said.
The states with the earliest Tax Freedom Days are Louisiana on March 30, Mississippi on Apr 2, and South Dakota on Apr 4. The latest dates fall in New Jersey and Connecticut on May 9, and New York on May 4.
The Tax Foundation says Americans will spend 42 days working to pay off income taxes, 15 days for excise taxes, and 11 days for property taxes.
Historically, the date for Tax Freedom Day has fluctuated significantly. The latest-ever nationwide Tax Freedom Day was May 1, 2000 - meaning that Americans paid 33.0% of their total income in taxes. A century earlier, in 1900, Americans paid only 5.9% of their income in taxes, meaning Tax Freedom Day came on January 22.

Simon leads Reds past Cubs 4-1
CHICAGO -- Alfredo Simon lowered his ERA to 0.86, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Chicago Cubs 4-1 Friday for their 16th win in their last 17 games at Wrigley Field.
Making his third start, Simon (2-1) allowed an unearned run in six-plus innings and sent the Cubs to their fifth straight loss. Simon is in the rotation while Mat Latos recovers from elbow and knee injuries.
Jonathan Broxton pitched a hitless ninth for his second save in two tries, completing a six-hitter for the Reds, who stretched their winning streak to a season-best three.
Jeff Samardzija (0-2) gave up three runs -- one earned -- and six hits in seven innings with seven strikeouts and two walks. He is 0-4 despite a 3.86 ERA in 10 starts since winning at San Diego on Aug. 24.
