In a move that could eventually overturn some 50 years of U.S. policy, the House Agriculture Committee voted Wednesday to allow expanded trade and travel with Cuba.
Passed on a 25-20 vote, the "Travel Restriction Reform and Export Enhancement Act (H.R. 4645)" now moves to the House Financial Services and Foreign Affairs committees for consideration.
"I am proud to say … the House Agriculture Committee took a courageous vote to end the short-sighted and failed policy that limits American agriculture's access to the Cuban market," said Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, following the hearing.
"An unprecedented coalition of agriculture, business, religious and social organizations (has) endorsed H.R. 4645, and today's vote demonstrates that Congress is ready to change our nation's approach on this issue."
Kansas Rep. Jerry Moran — who, with Peterson, co-sponsored the legislation and was one of only four committee Republicans to vote for it — said the bill's passage was "a step in the right direction and a victory for America's farmers and ranchers. Cuba must import nearly 85 percent of its food and current U.S. trade policies hurt American farmers and ranchers by making it more expensive for Cuba to purchase U.S. agriculture products. Instead of buying U.S. commodities, current policy encourages Cuba to buy its food from countries such as Vietnam and China. I have long fought for common sense changes to our trade policy with Cuba in order to open up markets only 90 miles away. This legislation will standardize our trade policies, increase export sales and create thousands of American jobs without increasing the deficit."
While U.S. agriculture advocacy groups are pleased with the committee vote, the bill's ultimate success is hardly assured. Wednesday's often contentious hearing made that very clear as many Republicans — while vowing support for the agriculture portion — blasted the bill's travel provisions. Their argument: expanded travel provides too much potential for U.S. tourist dollars to prop up a failing Cuban government.
Legislators with family and constituent ties to Cuba also worried that the Castro government would never pay for property taken during the revolution or for ongoing human rights abuses.
As the hearing moved into its second hour, Republicans repeatedly suggested the bill's agriculture and travel portions be somehow separated. Peterson, claiming his hands were tied by parliamentary procedure, was unmoved.
"We should continue to facilitate the shipment of food to Cuba and streamlining that process is important," said Oklahoma Rep. Frank Lucas, ranking member. "However, this bill goes beyond that aim and effectively, I believe, repeals the embargo the United States has had in place to prevent the enrichment of Castro's regime. Removing travel restrictions for tourism has nothing to do with technical barriers to exports. The Cuban people are desperate for access to affordable food, not tourists."
Lucas, as he has in past hearings, also tied the Cuba legislation to other trade deals. "Efforts to expand exports are important to our agricultural industry. That's why I've continually pressed of opening up nearly $3 billion in trade through the free trade agreements we've already negotiated with Korea, Columbia and Panama. All are key allies and trading partners. In spite of the Obama administration's increased rhetoric to take action on our pending trade agreements, it is yet to lay out a clear path for their immediate consideration. As a result, (U.S.) producers are being kept out of significant new markets."
Acknowledging naysayers' talking points, Peterson said, "Congress should be very clear that this bill won't end the U.S. embargo on Cuba and won't allow U.S. banks to extend credit to Cuba. … The current U.S. policies have hand-delivered an export market in our own backyard to Brazilian and European producers and other competitors around the world.
"It's time to ask ourselves why we have this policy in place. It simply doesn't work to bring change to Cuba and only harms U.S. interests."

It is cool and grey in Antwerpen. It is wet. It is an early spring Belgium day, I dare.
The planned ride under the Schelde and around the town has been put on hold. We are happy to sit in our little mobile home and do a bit of house work. But first...
The Paris-Roubaix Challenge
As I wrote before, the preparation was near perfect. OK, I wasn't race fit and I didn't have a special Roubaix rig, like many, but it didn't matter. I said to myself I was there for the experience of riding the famous cobbled roads of Northern France.
But one thing changed as I got on the bike that morning, I felt like going as fast as I could on the cobbles, just like Kelly and did.
The challenge wasn't incident-free, unfortunately. First, and although I was up by 5:20 am, we didn't make it to the 7:30 start. An error in the communication with the camping ground staff kept us locked inside until 7:50 am. We were in Peronne and the cut off time was 8 am, in St Quentin, 15 minutes away.
Luckily, Sandra came up with the great idea of driving and dropping me off somewhere along the course. And after doing a quick search with the GPS, we drove to Bertry, 4 or 5 kilometres before the first cobbled sector (No.19). We stopped at an intersection where we saw Gendarmes controlling the traffic. We also saw cyclists riding pass. Great, bike off the rack, shoes on, on the bike, I was only hoping I could find a few riders with 400 or 500 numbers pinned to their jerseys, riders from my starting group. But they had already gone pass. I could only spot 800s, 900s and 1000s.
Time to race like Kelly.
Sooner than I expected, and after overtaking dozens, or hundreds perhaps, I got to Sector 19. Again, Gendarmes pointing the way, a small crowd clapping and I was riding the cobbles. It was kind of emotional, I must say, but all I could think was "don't crash, don't get a puncture". It was only a three stars sector, a 2.2 km first pave experience, 18 to go and I loved it! One problem, one drink-bottle was gone.
The bike felt good, fast, perhaps the tyres were pumped a little too high because I could feel the hard pounding on my hands. Riding on the top of the handle-bars was best but that meant no breaks and no shifting. A little scary when overtaking someone because I never knew what they were going to do. I tried to get out of the saddle a couple of times, that wasn't a good idea. The rear wheel jumped up and down and from side to side.
I was flying in between sectors, through the villages, dreaming that I was in a break. I was catching groups and dropping them. I think most of them were just cruising. I had number 1221 (I think) on my wheel for a while, just for a while.
The next sector was very much the same, so was the next. I was still riding in the middle of the road when I could and on the cobbles for the whole sector. It was fun, I wasn't hurting but I noticed number 1221 passing me like a pro. I also noticed that my second bottle was also gone.
Having to concentrate on the course didn't allow me to work out how far I was to the first feed zone and I had no map of the course. Stopping at one of the bars crossed my mind. I even thought of the old days when they had a glass of wine, or two, when riding through the villages. But I had no time to stop, I had to ride faster to get to the feed quicker.
One more sector, another village, a right turn and there it was a huge set up with tents, music, tables full of food, Mavic cars, you name it, but a hundred riders as well, some as if they were having a picnic. I managed a couple of slices of orange, a coke and "non biddon" before I saw a group I overtook early going pass.
Instinct made me run and jump on the bike, the folks from the village clapping and yelling. It was like a movie, as if they knew what was going on. I felt like racing. I did catch them and worked with a guy in a yellow kit for a while, the others sat there. I enjoyed the company because I was riding by myself most of the time. I was kind of lonely.
For the next sector, I was going solo again. And again, 1221 went past, flying. Where is this guy coming from?
I also recognized a couple of other riders and we rode together for a while. No words said but it was fun. They dropped me on Sector 14, I caught them again and they dropped me again on 12. Don't push, I thought, too many sectors to go.
So far, the temperature was good and I only felt a bit of wind and couple of drops of rain. Nice day to ride a bike. The scenery started to get a little greener but I didn't think of a forest until I heard the whistles from the people standing by the train line crossing, and turned left into it.
The Arenberg Forest.
The forest was really beautiful and the cobbles looked like they have been worked on. There was also growth in between them. The Arenberg gave me inspiration and a desire to go harder, faster. After that, I only had to ride to the velodrome. For some reason, I didn't find the cobbles too difficult, they just looked slippery. I am sure it would be different at 40 km/h…
However, I run out of energy after that, my average speed dropped fast. I felt dehydrated and the energy bar I had, didn't kicking in. I needed to make it to the next feed, quick if I wanted to get to the velodrome.
For the next three sectors I avoided the cobbles when I could. Riding on the dirt seemed faster and my body was asking for a rest. That wasn't as easy as one might think, if you are not a mountain biker, riding on a 20 cm wide single-track requires a lot of concentration. There are also loose rocks, holes, sticks and other obstacles. Fun but not fun…
I wasn't very optimistic when I saw the 70 km to go sign. I felt cold and my body ached. Only my arrival at the second feed zone brought some hope of a ride on the velodrome. I was hitting the wall.
One cup of water, two of coke, a few nuts and a banana and in a couple of minutes I was on the bike and slowly on my way. I couldn't wait to see the next sector number to get an idea of what laid ahead. But there was a long, windy stretch and I didn't feel much better. I started to rest behind the groups I caught before passing them, riders who now had 400 and 500 numbers. That felt good.
The next village, named Bourghelles and the short Sector 6 brought me back to earth, I think. I was still riding on the dirt when I could but now, I felt I could make it. The sectors also seemed closer to each other, quicker pain. I even remember pushing a bit harder when the crowd near The Restaurant applauded and yelled. It felt warm. I was getting closer and Sandra was waiting for me.
The landscape changed, there were more houses on the land. Then, another open field, one more sector, I was all by myself. I spotted a man using his mobile. As I got closer, he stopped his conversation, looked at me and yelled:
"You, chicken, get on the pave and ride, it is seven kilometres to Roubaix!"
Well, that was my interpretation and I tried but I couldn't face the cobbles anymore. I felt like a broken man.
Next, I was in the suburbs of Roubaix. I saw traffic lights, I got directed through a pedestrian tunnel and suddenly I was on the main street. The people didn't pay much attention as I rode alone, just like Stuey as he rode solo on the streets of Roubaix. Then, the sign indicating Sector One. But the cobbles were even and flat, nice to ride on and for the last time, a Gendarme signalled me to turn right, this time into the Roubaix Velodrome.
I tried not to show my tears.

35395, Children's Songbook, Heritage, Covered Wagons, 221
1. Day after day the wagons are rolling.
Onward and westward we ever must roam.
Roll along, roll along, covered wagons!
Take us safely to our new home.
2. Night after night we sit round the campfire,
Singing the songs that remind us of home.
3. Someday we'll reach the land of our dreaming,
Settle and build on some land of our own.

wu-tang clan
Cappadonna Returns!
- 2003-05-29 16:28:09
© The Wu-Tang Corp.
- 2003-05-29
After a brief hiatus, it's official,
is back! Following his second release entitled, The Ying and The Yang, which was released with little label support, Cappadonna now teams up with Code Red Entertainment. 2003 ushers in the newest and strongest musical chapter in Cappa's ever-evolving hip-hop story.
Entitled The Struggle, with its self-explanatory cuts, it proves to be a lethal album of lyrical substance, powerhouse production and unique, straight from the street performances. "Throughout my career people have tried to label what I do, but I can't even do that, and wouldn't if I could," says New York based Cappadonna, the last to join the
Wu-Tang Clan
, and the first to admit he wants to elevate his individual artistic identity. "This album," he adds, "reflects the streets and the trials and tribulations of life. What is a victory if there is no struggle involved?"
Born in Brooklyn and raised in Staten Island, Cappadonna bonded with members of Wu-Tang Clan in preschool. Little did he know at that time, these were the brothers who would one day launch his successful music career. At age 15, Cappa knew he had a gift to write poems describing the trials and tribulations about growing up socially, politically and economically deprived in Black America. He then began writing rhymes, and mastering the microphone.
After making a name for himself as a featured artist on the platinum plus selling solo sets of
Ghostface Killah
, and blessing Wu-Tang's second album with more of his introspective lyrics, Cappadonna emerged as a solo artist, vastly experienced and more than ready for the world, as The Pillage established him as a formidable artist in his own right. The album peaked at #3 on Billboard's Top 200. Cappa has blessed the mic with some of the greatest such as
Biggie Smalls
P. Diddy
Jermaine Dupri
Da Brat
, as well as his Wu affiliates.
For his latest effort, Cappadonna has enlisted his true blood brother,
Lounge Mode
to feature on several tracks on the album. Lounge Mode (aka Lo Runner the new comer) is far from that, as Lounge has been credited for giving birth to the innovative names such as
Method Man
, Cappadonna, and
, to name a few. He is world famous for his infinite street slang. Who better than his own brother to add a tasteful twist to an already well made concoction.
Other flame throwers featured on the album include
Inspectah Deck
, Raekwon the Chef,
Solomon Childs
, as well as the underdog,
King Just
. Relating to the vivid pictures painted throughout the album is an essential part of experiencing The Struggle. "My job is to make people think, or at least give them something real to think about when they're listening to my joints," says Cappadonna. "Everyone has experienced The Struggle, in one way or another".
The Struggle offers stinging urbanized impressions, laced with ghettoized spiritual awareness that remain indelibly imprinted on one's mind long after the CD takes it's last spin. Urban reality based straight from the hood where it gets no harder, only tougher, tracks like Blood Brothers, Cap is Back, and Role Of A Lifetime will strongly reinforce that.
Other highlighted tracks include Momma, a tribute and dedication as well as Season Of Da Vick, a story telling saga of the street. Get Away From The Door teams Cap up with Inspectah Deck in this gutty performance and lyrical barrage. Surprisingly enough and pleasant to the ear, Cappa attracts the radio with songs like I Don't Even Know You, and Do It (Push) a rap friendly production with an upbeat, feel good, get down and party joint guaranteed to rock the clubs in 2003.
The Struggle will be released in September, 2003.

Rocket Grants Announced for 2012-2013
Charlotte Street Foundation and The Spencer Museum of Art, in partnership with the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, are pleased to announce that ten multidisciplinary projects were chosen to each receive a $4,000 Rocket Grant Award. The selected projects address a range of topics including gentrification, privilege, environmental justice, sustainability, generosity, and socially-engaged art practices. Processes and materials include yarn bombing, Sudanese food, bicycle-powered animations, a permaculture sculpture garden, a Lawrence dumpster, and more. The projects will engage diverse communities including teens in the juvenile justice system, immigrant neighborhoods, people doing their laundry, and others.
Over 66 artists (individuals or members of collaborative groups) from throughout the 80-mile eligibility zone applied. The selected projects are located in the Greater KC metro area, St. Joseph, Topeka, and Lawrence. The final selections involve 24 artists, comprising three individual projects and seven collaborative ones.
Rocket Grants are part of the Foundation's
Regional Regranting program
About the 2012-2013 Rocket Grant Projects
– find full project details on the
Rocket Blog
• Maria Calderon* & Lacey Wozney: POP! A Series of Social Happenings. POP! is an event series engaging the community through temporary installations, performances, and events. POP!'s structure is street-level and mobile, and actively challenges traditional artist-viewer relationships and usage of public space. POP! events include a picnic, yoga installation, parade, trading post and street dance. POP! events are free and open to the public, with the ability to "pop-up" almost anywhere.
• Sean Starowitz: Byproduct: The Laundromat. Rather than create a new artist-run space, Byproduct will create temporary, experimental cultural centers through the use of laundromats, helping to foster conversations between the art community and the general public about socially engaged art practices. Byproduct will run intimate tutorial workshops, conversations, and small-scale, site-specific projects in laundromats over the course of a year.
• Tanya Hartman* & Awein Lual Wol: Awein's DreamCart. Awein Wol is a refugee from South Sudan who lives in Olathe, Kansas. Having survived genocide as a child, her dream is to run a Sudanese restaurant and cultural center. This project will provide an artist-outfitted food cart, helping Wol to introduce her cuisine and heritage locally, and save money to launch a cultural center. Awein's DreamCart will serve entrees with essays describing Kansas City Sudanese residents' life experiences.
• Rie Egawa* & Burgess Zbryk: Those Things That Protrude. Those Things That Protrude is a public art installation on the north wall of the artists' building in the Crossroads Art District, using a form of "yarn bombing" - graffiti/street art created using non-permanent fiber materials. The work is intended to remind people about the presence of art and artists in a rapidly gentrifying part of town, and to connect with a non-typical art audience.
• Richard Fritz*, Crystal Gould & Michele Bridges: Art is Long, Life is Short. This multi-media project uses recorded audio interviews of teens in the juvenile justice system. Recalling life-altering events as the premise for each story, the team will create Act I of an animated film, and present it on social media networks. "Choose your own adventure" options for the story's moral ending will come from local community feedback.
• Jose Faus*, Sharon Eiker, David Arnold Hughes, Glenn North, William Peck, Michelle Pond, Rhiannon Ross & Judith Towse Roberts (Vox Narro): Tell Me a Story. Writers will pair with immigrant communities that retain ties to their native cultures and are newly navigating Kansas City culture. The team, will speak with members of their host communities and interpret those interactions. These writings will be presented at public events in gathering places most important to the host communities, and will include a sample of native foods, art and music.
• Andrea Steudel* & Karl Fundenberger: Cyclotrope Cinema. Cyclotrope Cinema uses basic animation, repurposed bicycle parts, and human-powered video projection to create a platform for learning to make animated film loops and then exhibiting them. The team will hold workshops and a public exhibition next spring at unique outdoor venues in Topeka, Kansas, and will create a DIY guide for the Cyclotrope player, to be accessible free online.
• Minister of Information (Don Wilkison): We Are Here to Plant a Tree. In this project, the artist and a sustainability assistant will document their navigation across geographic, cultural, and economic boundaries in the Kansas City metro. Beyond the simple act of planting trees, their goal is to negotiate institutional access and build acceptance of metaphorical challenges to patronage, privilege, inclusivity, and environmental justice.
• Dave Loewenstein: Give Take Give. A standard blue dumpster in the alley near the artist's Lawrence, KS apartment, has been transformed into a vessel for a small, but vibrant, gift economy. This project will explore the dynamics of an unlikely alternative to our market-driven culture to inspire reflection on how gifts of labor and time can help bind a community together.
• Jason Myers* & Megan Gallant: Spark Farm Park (with sculpture). Across from Firehouse Studios in St Joseph, MO, sits a vacant lot - just under half an acre - which the artists are turning into Spark Farm Park (with sculpture). In its bones, Spark is a sculpture park and educational model for permaculture and urban farming. In its heart, it is an oasis of creativity, beauty and sustainable local living. Visitors will be able to view sculpture by area artists and community members, while harvesting and learning about food.
About the Selection Process
Applications were submitted online through www.callforentry.org. Jurors reviewed the applications online after the April 1st deadline, and selected the awarded projects from the finalists during a May on-site meeting in Kansas City. The jurors for this year's selection panel were a diverse group of national and local artists and arts professionals:
Clifford Owens is a New York-based artist who works with video, photography, installation and interactive performance art. His latest show at MOMA PS1 involved an anthology of performance scores from 26 inter-generational black artists.
Bryce Dwyer is a Chicago-based curator, writer and cultural worker. Bryce is a founding co-director at InCUBATE (Institute for Community Understanding Between Art and the Everyday), and a guest blogger at Bad At Sports and Art 21.
Erika Nelson is the director of the traveling roadside attraction and museum The World's Largest Collection of the World's Smallest Versions of the World's Largest Things, and is active in the grassroots and outsider art communities in Lucas, KS.
Caitlin Horsmon is a Kansas City artist and educator, making films, videos and interactive works that range from 'old' to 'new' media. She is also a recipient of a 2011-12 Rocket Grants award for her project Resistant History.
About Rocket Grants
Rocket Grants award up to $4,000 to individuals and groups of artists for high quality, innovative, and public-oriented artwork that happens outside of typical galleries, museums and arts districts. Artists are encouraged to address the community at large, to strengthen the arts community, or to choose a smaller, targeted audience. Rocket Grants also support proposals that expand studio practice in new ways and develop new audiences.
This is the third year of the awards, in which a total of $40,000 will be distributed to artists living within an 80-mile radius of metropolitan Kansas City. The Warhol Foundation has guaranteed one additional one-year cycle of funding for the Rocket Grants program. Find information about completed and in-progress projects from the first and second years of funding on the Rocket blog.
The program is funded by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and is implemented by a partnership between the Charlotte Street Foundation in Kansas City, and the Spencer Museum of Art in Lawrence, KS.

Dragon Nest
Dragon Nest is a fantasy MMORPG with an emphasis on skill-based fighting and combos. Originally released in 2010 to the Korean market, Nexon brings Dragon Nest to the North American market just a year later with a fresh set of voice actors and a whole lot of hype. Dragon Nest lets you play one of four classes, each with their set of two sub-classes, as you quest your way through colorful anime-inspired environments. It will undoubtedly appeal to those who tire of the World of Warcraft UI model, along with those who enjoy a more fast paced, less repetitive fighting system. Players will enjoy how differently each class plays from one another, along with the crazy powerful effects as enemies get lit on fire, fried by electricity or just blown away by the characters' many abilities. You may play as:
The Warrior: Classic close-combat tank & spank class, the warrior starts out as an even balance of offensive and defensive skills.
The Swordsman: Swordsmen are warriors whom, once specialized, embrace the damage-dealing aspect of their class, which can be again specialized to one, or many opponents through their choice of skills.
The Mercenary: Mercenaries are nothing short than traditional, full-blown tanks. Though they lose out on Swordsman damage, they can take a beating and easily ask for second servings.
The Archer: Straightforward long-ranged damage dealer, the archer is fast, hard-hitting, and fragile. Archers will need to use their mobility to ensure they can live to keep dishing out the pain.
The Sharpshooter: Specialized in long-ranged combat, the Sharpshooter is the archer with a full focus on long-range damage, but with even more vulnerability. This class hits like a truck.
The Acrobat: Losing a lot of the long range damage dealing, the Acrobat is an agility and mobility powerhouse that trades in the bow for close combat damage dealing.
The Cleric: Tank, healer and buffer, the cleric boasts a range of survival and crowd control abilities that makes him a welcome addition to any group. They are however, quite weak on the damage aspect.
The Paladin: Though low in damage, the Paladin is a spell casting tank with a knack for survival with a good measure of the group supporting and enemy disrupting abilities of the cleric.
The Priest: Acting as the traditional healer and support caster role, the priest is Dragon Nest's main support powerhouse, with some secondary damage dealing spells.
The Sorceress: Short to medium range spell caster, the Sorceress' focus is a mix of damage-dealing attacks, status and crowd control abilities.
The Elementalist: Focusing on elemental magic, this sub-class boasts a range of high damage and crowd control magic, with the tradeoff being lower toughness.
The Mystic: A more balanced alternative to the elementalist, the Mystic's main focus is crowd control rather than damage, using gravity to throw enemies around the area.
The Tinkerer:The Tinkerer uses a variety of attacks that hit a wide area from mid- to long-ranges to deal damage, heal, and defend their allies, and their low Strength and Vitality are offset by strong Agility and Intellect.
The Engineer: Engineers command a vast arsenal of rockets, turrets, and robots to deal damage and control the battlefield. In addition to direct-damage skills, the Engineer can also bolster Alfredo, transforming the robo-butler into the ultimate bodyguard.
The Alchemist: Masters of all things chemical, Alchemists use various tinctures and tonics to heal allies, poison enemies, and dish out elemental damage. With the power to tip the scales of battle in their party's favor, Alchemists make excellent all-around supporters.
The Kali: The Kali combines fast and fluid melee combat with dark magic that cripples her enemies and bolsters her allies. Her relentless strikes and debilitating de-buffs weaken foes and leave them open to attack.
The Screamer: Screamers embrace the power of fallen spirits to protect allies and weaken enemies with status effects and continuous damage. Screamers can even become invincible for a short time.
The Dancer: Dancers unleash a flurry of chakram attacks and magical abilities in a deadly dance that overwhelms enemies. Dancers are lithe and agile, and they dart from enemy to enemy in the blink of an eye.

After a great book launch, a lot of media attention and a deal for a French version of our book, Mad Dogs, Midgets, and Screw Jobs, our journey as authors reached another level last weekend with WrestleCon, the first of many wresting conventions we booked ourselves into throughout 2013. Come aboard as we'll get you through our weekend, sharing experiences, thoughts and feel good moments of what we can now call the launching of "The Summer of Pat & Bert!"
Our journey began early Friday morning as we drove from Montreal to get to Secaucus, New Jersey for WrestleCon. In the car: Bertrand Hebert, my co-author on Mad Dogs, Midgets and Screw Jobs, myself and the voice of TNA in France, Célian Varini , who's also working on another channel doing commentaries for WWE Experience and Vintage Collection. We were stopped at the borders so Célian could pay a $6 visa fee to enter the United States. The funny story is that inside customs, a full bus of elderly Korean people was also being stopped and questioned. Can you say bad timing?
We were on our merry way quicker than our friends on the bus. Some five hours after, we got to our hotel and minutes later we hit WrestleCon to set up our table. Friday night was kind of quiet. Bertrand went to see the Pro Wrestling Syndicate with one of our friends as I stayed on the premises to watch Evolve and CZW. It was fun to see and chat again with wrestling friends from all over the world. Hanging out with people who share the same passion from Australia, England, United States, Japan is always one of the things I love the most about this business.
Saturday was the big day as the convention was starting and fans were swarming the Meadowlands Expo Center. You had tons of vendors selling everything and anything wrestling related, from action figure to magazines going through books, DVDs and vintage memorabilia. But the main attractions were the dozens and dozens of wrestling personalities on hand to sign autographs and take pictures for fans in attendance.
For Bertrand and I, it was our first time as vendors and it was quite a thrill. Between people stopping by to buy the book, saying they heard good things about it or just stopping to say they already read it and wanted to congratulate us, we were quite happy and proud of what we had accomplished. I also helped my friends at SHIMMER as their show went on in the afternoon. Let's say that between our table, their merchandise table and everything else, I didn't sit all day.
Later that day it was direct to Madison Square Garden and the WWE Hall of Fame, but we had to wait 45 minutes to finally have a bus that could bring us to Manhattan where a 15-minute ride took more than a hour because of the congestion. As a result, we missed Terry Funk's introduction of Mick Foley. It was a fun night, and an historical one with Bruno Sammartino finally being inducted. When we returned it was time for $5 Wrestling back at the convention center. We had a blast touching base with friends and playing along with some of the worst wrestling money can buy.
Sunday was going to be as busy and tiring, but as exciting too. After everything was said and done, we sold quite a few books, including autographed copies from the legends that made Montreal wrestling so unique. We were also able to strike deals with RF Video and Highspots for the distribution of the DVD we put together that includes one hour of Grand Prix and three hours of International Wrestling from the '70s and '80s. To cap it all off, we were attended WrestleMania Sunday night at MetLife Stadium. We know critics have been hard on the show, but live it was an incredible spectacle that did not let us down. You had to be there in person to appreciate the full set and the undertaking of such an event.
Along our journey, we met many wrestling fans, people we talked to on Facebook or by email but never in person. Many former wrestlers who wrestled in Montreal were in attendance and we were hoping to ask a few more questions about our territory. The big difference between a convention like this and events like the Cauliflower Alley Club reunion, or the induction ceremonies at the Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame in Amsterdam, NY, and the Tragos/Thesz Hall of Fame in Waterloo, Iowa, is that people are here to make some money, and that's fine too. But it's harder just to sit down with them and pick their brains on their wrestling career.
I still spoke for two or three minutes with Superstar Billy Graham about him playing for the Montreal Alouettes. I took a picture with One Man Gang, met Montreal International Wrestling former champion Great Samu for the first time, spoke a little to both Angelina Love and Beth Phoenix since we have a friend in common in LuFisto. But for most of them, they were just too busy selling merchandise, taking pictures, signing autographs. But we did get commitment from Bill Eadie and Lex Luger to talk more via email in the future.
The reaction we got for the book is even more overwhelming in person than online. We tried to write a book we would like as fans -- and the fans who have read the book got the exact feeling and reaction we were looking for.
It was the first of many wrestling conventions and we're looking forward to being at all of them. To write about wrestling takes time, some knowledge and most importantly you need to be a wrestling fan. And this is what WrestleCon was all about: being a fan!

Cut the paper on the lines but not inside the circle.
Bend each of the corners marked with an "X" in Picture 3 into the center of the circle.
Put a straight pin through the four corners and the center of the paper. Then put the pin into the eraser on the end of a pencil.
Now the pinwheel should spin in the wind, when you blow on it, or when you run with it.
Different decorations on a pinwheel will make new and interesting patterns as it spins.

Pet Patrol: Meet Oreo and Titan
Pet Patrol: Meet Oreo and Titan; two boys who would love to be your companion.
Meet Oreo, a 7 month old neutered male. He may want you to believe he's milk's favorite kitty, but water is the best beverage of choice for cats. He certainly matches the Greek meaning of the word Oreo, which is beautiful. In his previous home, Oreo got along well with children under 5 years of age and also loved to rough house with his feline friends. He is known to hold a conversation with you or carry around toy mice in his mouth for hours. His uniquely marked coat is soft to the touch, and his purr-box is in good working order. Oreo's social and lap-loving personality is sure to be a great addition to any household.
– Tri-County Humane Society Executive Director Vicki Davis
Titan is a 10 year old neutered Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso mix. He was surrendered because his previous owner was moving and unfortunately, could not take him with them. He may be ten years old, but that's not that old for a dog his size. This affectionate and social canine got along well with children of all ages in his previous home, as well as other dogs. He thrives off human attention and is quite playful as well. Titan loves to go on nice long walks, so if you need a walking buddy, come meet this little bundle of affection.
– Tri-County Humane Society Executive Director Vicki Davis
Check out all the animals available for adoption by going to the Tri-County Humane Society's website or Facebook page. Or visit them at 735 8th Street Northeast in St. Cloud. They're open Monday through Thursdays Noon to 6; Fridays noon to 8; Saturdays 11 to 5; and Sundays Noon to 5.

True to his word, manager Terry Collins is keeping a pat hand. Of course, why would you change anything after scoring 11 runs?
However, too often in recent seasons the Mets lineup seemed to change daily, with no regard of who was hot or slumping. Granted, there are times when a slump or bad pitching match-up will force a change, but I like Collins' intent of keeping an even keel.
Collins wants consistency and stability. The bench players will play soon enough, but now it is time for the starters to develop continuity.
Here's what he has going tonight against Padres left-hander Clayton Richard. My intent is to follow each name in the lineup with a pertinent stat or note. Everybody posts a lineup, but I want to give you something more and a reason to come back:
Collin Cowgill, CF: Was surprise winner of center field job because he's the best combination of offense and defense. Hit first career grand slam in opener.
Daniel Murphy, 2B: Has shown no ill effects from strained muscle that kept him out of most of spring training. Murphy's patience makes him an ideal No. 2 hitter.
David Wright, 3B: Named fourth captain in team history. Had a hit and two steals in the opener. Wright will not give a statistical goal, but we all know he's a .300 hitter with power potential to reach 30 homers and drive in close to 110 runs.
Ike Davis, 1B: Struck out four times in the opener. His swing it too long now. Davis said he doesn't worry about hitting homers, saying he's a home-run hitter and knows he must produce to off-set the times he walks back to the bench.
Marlon Byrd, RF: Played well Monday, but wasn't talking later. He's a veteran presence with some pop to his bat.
Lucas Duda, LF: Another with high strikeout and power potential. Everybody wants to say he has the power to hit 35 homers. Let him hit 20 first.
John Buck, C: The pitchers like how he calls a game. He's been an upgrade over Josh Thole. Buck is far from an automatic out at the plate.
Ruben Tejada, SS: Doubled in a run after rough spring training at the plate. Collins said Tejada told him he would be ready and he lived up to his word.
Matt Harvey, RHP: Gave up five runs in five innings in only career start against San Diego. Harvey said commanding his secondary pitches will be the key for him.

From Business Insider:
The chart is entitled "The Death of the Music Industry" but has nothing more to offer to justify that explanation in the original post. Rather than speculate on that and in looking at it from the library perspective, all I can see is a shifting of collection budgets from CDs to digital content. And in going towards digital music content, that brings up a whole new ballgame regarding vendors, what they offer, how they offer it, and the rights and licenses that would be involved with that. There will need to be robust platforms in order to provide support for an increasing scheme of digital music content.
Unfortunately, this graph needs about four more years worth of data to give a better picture on when the CD will be virtually obsolete and how much digital content will take over the market. But those CDs we own are going to be museum ready in the next ten years. I think it emphasizes the importance of having a website that can handle more digital content that will be coming down the pipeline.
Edit: Changed some wording in the last paragraph. Thanks Steve for pointing it out!

When 150,000 people gather in the middle of the desert to gawk at technology, a sense of perspective becomes even harder to find than an unoccupied bathroom. Among all the shiny metal and glass, silicon and plastic, megahertz and gigabytes heaped into one room, it's hard to see the forest for the trees. Or see the future from the gadgets that will herald its arrival, as the case may be.
Fortunately, that's why all things Vegas must come to an end. Now sober, rested, and safely cloistered back in Portland, we've seen a lot of the major trends from CES congeal in front of us. And for the most part, we like what we see. Here's what CES 2012 showed us about the year to come.
Ultrabooks are the new netbooks.
Check out our Acer Aspire S5 review.
Whether because they're terrified of Apple's MacBook Air or genuinely believe in Intel's sales pitch, all major manufacturers are spooling up an avalanche of Ultrabooks in 2012, not unlike the monsoon of netbooks we saw back in 2007. Of course, we knew this before CES, but the most interesting relevation of the show might be the colorful variety we're seeing. Lenovo unleashed a durable ThinkPad Ultrabook, Samsung showed one that can handle optical drives and discrete graphics, and Acer's S5 is so slim it needs to open a mechanical trunk in the back to even connect an HDMI cable. Though Intel demands that notebooks comply with a tight set of standards to use the Ultrabook name, we're glad to see so much variety in a category we were initially tempted to pass off as merely MacBook Air clones.
Windows 8 will open some interesting doors.
We've already had a chance to toy with the developer preview of Windows 8, but it's the hardware that will launch alongside it that has us grinning. Now that Windows will sport both a viable tablet interface and run on ARM processors, the possibilities for what types of devices can run Windows are about to get a lot broader. While most companies have stayed mum on the bizarro hybrids they're cooking up skunkworks labs, the hardware we were able to see behind closed doors (and sorry, not talk about) gives us hope. If Microsoft can make Windows 8 what it should be, plenty of companies are willing to step up and build some pretty sick hardware to accompany.
Nobody knows what size a tablet should be yet.
Toshiba's booth featured a tablet display that looked like a row of Russian Matryoshka dolls, with 13.3-inch, 10-inch 7.7-inch and 5.1-inch tablets all lined up neatly. The last even had a 21:9 aspect ratio to throw another kink into things. The same theme repeated itself over and over at different booths, where new sizes of tablets seem to vastly outnumber any real innovative new features. While we don't expect one master size to eventually rule the tablet market, the extremely wide variance between sizes seems to reflect consumer uncertainty over just what it is a tablet should do, and where you should use it. Hopefully, a trend toward higher resolution screens this year should shake out some of the odd sizes as consumers realize they can carry around the same amount of detail in a smaller physical package.
4K makes 1080p look like blurry.
Speaking of higher resolution, it looks like the 4K standard is finally more than a buzzword around prototypes for 2012. With four times the resolution as a standard 1080p display, 4K offers the same amount of detail as the 70-foot cinema display at the local theater, but in a size you can finally take home. Sony made inroads to 4K at CEDIA this year with a 4K projector built for the home, but Sharp plans to bring the same quality to conventional LCDs with a 4K flat-panel display later this year. Of course, just don't ask where 4K content will come from unless you want to hear a story about storks, because nobody knows at this point. As with 3D, upconversion will definitely play a role in the early days, though we know videophiles will (rightly) sneer at the idea of magically summoning more detail from less detail.
You will want an OLED TV… but probably can't afford one.
Yes, you will finally be able to buy an OLED TV for your living room this year. Both Samsung and LG have plans to ship 55-inch OLED models in 2012, and both look stunningly brilliant and almost miraculously thin. Has the Achilles' heel of short-lived blue phosphers that could doom OLED TVs to an early death finally been addressed? Only time will tell, but if you have the money, you can now cut a check for $8,000 and find out.
3D is going into hibernation until the glasses go away.
No, we're not going to see 3D TVs pulled from shelves in 2012, but the advertising blitz and fanfare that accompanied their arrival has finally cooled down. Few companies made a point of specifically mentioning 3D in their press conferences this year — it's been deflated to another bullet point on the feature list beside motion interpolation and contrast ratios. Only Panasonic seems to still be proudly flying 3D flags, and even those have been relegated to announcements like the first Olympic games televised in 3D and a new 3D camcorder. Good riddance. Fortunately, Toshiba and a number of other companies are still showcasing glasses-free solutions that seem to be moving closer to something we could live with at home.
Go 4G or go home.
OK, so you didn't need CES 2012 to see this one coming, but we can't resist shooting fish in a barrel. This year didn't yield any revolutionary mobile phones, but the stars of the show all had one thing in common: 4G. If you're getting a phone in 2012, it will have 4G. If it doesn't, it will be old. Oh, and our preference for Verizon's rock-solid, almost supernaturally fast 4G network was only further cemented by the performance of two MiFi hotspots we used to cover the show, both of which seemed almost unshakable.
Cameras get connected.
Every major manufacturer has added the "smart" moniker to at least a handful of its lineup. Connectivity and communicating devices have been flooding CES for years, but cameras have been something of a hold out. This year, companies either stepped up to the geo-tagging plate, or launched totally connected cameras–with notable mentions going out to Samsung, Kodak, and Polaroid. Some of this wireless experimentation has been timid, and others have taken big, risky steps. Either way, it's promising: accessories that can immediately port your pictures have been available for awhile, but camera makers haven't totally embraced the idea of Wi-Fi enabled cameras. This is just a glimpse in that direction, and we think it means that next year we can expect to see cameras of all makes and models breaking into this market.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jackie Evancho, a 16-year-old singer from the Pittsburgh suburbs, has been chosen to sing the national anthem at President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration.
Evancho, who became known when she made runner-up on "America's Got Talent" in 2010, announced the event Wednesday on NBC's "Today" show. She said: "I'm so excited; it's going to be awesome."
Trump's inauguration committee spokesman calls Evancho a "true role model and inspiration for people young and old in our country and around the globe."
Evancho met Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida shortly after her appearance on "America's Got Talent" and posted the picture on her Facebook page.

Man who did time in Chesterton case pleads to killing woman in Gary Dunes
offender who did time for trying to lure a Chesterton girl into running away
with him in 2011 has agreed to plead guilty to killing a mentally challenged
woman and burying her in the Dunes in Gary five years ago.
Fuller was
originally charged with the murder of Sylvia Marie Jones; with abuse of a
corpse, for cutting off Jones' hands to make identification more difficult;
and with altering the scene of a death.
Fuller has agreed
instead to plead guilty to a reduced charge of voluntary manslaughter. Under
the deal, he would be sentenced to 40 years and the original three charges
would be dismissed.
A sentencing
hearing has been scheduled for April 28 in the courtroom of Lake County
Criminal Judge Clarence Murray.
Fuller, who
previously resided in Michigan City, was sentenced in July 2012 to three
years in the Indiana Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to an
amended charge of neglect of a dependent. Chesterton Police said that, in
January 2011, he was caught in the act of trying to help a 15-year-old local
girl run away from her home.
When taken into
custody at that time, Fuller was found to be in possession of Sylvia Marie
Jones' debit card and unsuccessful attempts to locate Jones by the CPD
prompted a missing person's investigation, according to the probable cause
affidavit filed by Det. Richard Strong of the Indiana State Police.
CPD Det. Lt. Dave
Adkins and Det. James Copollo subsequently spoke with Jones' mother, a New
Albany, Ind., resident, who advised that she hadn't heard from her daughter
in almost two years. But the last time Jones spoke to her mother, she did
say that "she was living in Michigan City" with a man named John and
"hooking," Strong stated in his affidavit.
A records check
later showed that, on Oct. 13, 2009, Jones was admitted to LaPorte Hospital
after a suicide attempt and that Fuller had been with her when admitted,
Strong stated. "The hospital record indicated that Johnnathan Fuller had
power of attorney over Sylvia Marie Jones. The hospital records also
indicated that Sylvia Marie Jones had a 'cognitive (deficit),' 'mild
retardation,' and 'bi-polar disorder.'"
Then, on Aug. 30,
2010, a man hunting snakes and lizards in the Dunes in the 8800 block of
U.S. Highway 20 in Gary found what looked like a human skull, Strong stated.
That grave site was excavated and, along with the skull and some bones, a
pair of blue jeans and a coat were recovered. A little more than a year
later, a University of Indianapolis forensic anthropologist positively
identified the skull as Jones', while a DNA test confirmed that
identification, Strong stated.
Meanwhile, one
month before the skull was identified as Jones', an acquaintance of Fuller's
advised investigators that Fuller had admitted to him killing Jones. Fuller
specifically told the acquaintance that he'd killed Jones with an ax, that
he'd first lured her to a beach in the Gary area by telling her that they
were going "to dig up some money he had buried," that he had her dig the
hole herself, and that he then used a "sledge hammer/ax" and bludgeoned
Jones seven times. Fuller also told the acquaintance that he next "flattened
Jones' face," then "cut off her hands to make it more difficult to identify
her by fingerprints," and finally buried Jones in the hole which she had
"Fuller commented
to (his acquaintance) that he thought it was funny that he tricked (Jones)
into 'digging her own grave,'" Strong stated.
Investigators spoke
as well to Fuller's ex-wife, who advised that Jones had lived with her and
Fuller for two months in the fall of 2009 and that Fuller told his wife at
the time that he was taking Jones' "Social Security money." But Jones was
"having problems with the Internet and talking to strangers" and that is why
Fuller "got rid of her," his ex-wife told investigators.
Finally, Jones'
mother advised that, when she told Fuller she was going to call the police
and report her daughter as a missing person, Fuller threatened her. "You
ain't going to never see your daughter or talk to her again," she remembered
Fuller saying. "If I have to I'll come get you too. I'll do you like I did
Fuller, for his
part, tells a different story in the plea agreement. In October 2009, he
stipulates, he agreed to drive Jones to a homeless shelter and for reasons
not disclosed stopped in the Dunes area north of U.S. Highway 20 in Gary.
There he became angry with Jones, allegedly because he saw her engaged in
inappropriate sexual contact with a young male relative of his, and "while
acting under sudden heat" struck her with a "blunt object." He admits
cutting off Jones' hands but no mention is made of who dug the woman's
Fuller was
previously convicted twice in Porter County of sexual battery, in 1998 and
2000; and twice of attempted theft, in 2000 and 2003.

Patrick Stroud Awarded Fulbrightby Richard Paige • April 22, 2014 Share:
Patrick Stroud has earned a Fulbright Scholarship as an English Teaching Assistant in Spain. He is the third Wabash man to earn a Fulbright this spring.
Stroud '14, a product of Noblesville, Ind., was awarded a teaching assistantship and will be based in Madrid, instructing secondary school-aged students (12-16). Stroud's participation in the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) program will test his theories on education and re-energizing the classroom.
The ETA program places a Fulbright winner in a classroom abroad to provide assistance to teachers of English to non-native English speakers, while serving in a small role as a U.S. cultural ambassador. The age and academic level of classroom students varies by country, ranging from kindergarten to university level.
"I hope to combine my knowledge of teaching, history, and performance with my language skills in order to elicit effective learning in Spanish classrooms," said Stroud. "I believe my strategies for face-to-face education can revitalize the classroom and make learning new languages and new cultures exciting and fun. Because I have also had training as an actor and participated in Speech and Debate club throughout my education, I hope to coach Spanish students on public performance and memorization in dynamic and interactive ways."
Stroud, a double major in history and Spanish with distinction on comprehensive exams in both, and a Classics minor, also may participate in a secondary project in which he will talk to people who lived through the regime of Francisco Franco. This could aid his immersion to Spanish culture and history through the concept of historical memory, or how groups interpret history and how that shapes culture.
"Patrick is someone who perfectly fits the Fulbright program's desire for cultural ambassadors," said Dr. Eric Olofson, the Wabash Fulbright Program Advisor and an assistant professor of psychology. "He is a sensitive listener, he's comfortable with new people, and he relishes new experiences. He talks about education in a way that says that he wants to be involved in education down the road, and certainly, this is the first step on that road."
Stroud hopes to provide his students with English proficiency, a desire to learn new cultures, and methods for being citizens of the world, three necessary skills that future generations must possess to succeed internationally in business, economics, and politics.
"Patrick is already an academic. The way he throws himself into and researches projects really demonstrates a deep aptitude for the academy and academic work," said Dr. Dan Rogers, associate professor of modern languages. "He's really comfortable with what and who he is. I think that gives him the confidence to look into and explore other cultures."
Further, Stroud feels this trip to Spain will help to achieve his educational goals, and by being in the classroom, encourage communication between unique cultures, experiences, and languages.
"The Fulbright ties right into Patrick's interests," said Dr. Jane Hardy, assistant professor of Spanish and Stroud's academic advisor. "He'll be able to continue to improve his Spanish, which is already outstanding, learn more about Spain and its history, and get some teaching experience. Patrick will make an excellent professor someday. He's able to share his passion and excitement and meet people where they are, engage, and appreciate them. He has that gift."
As a freshman in 2011, Stroud won the Phi Beta Kappa Prize, given annually to the undergraduate who is judged to have produced the most original and meritorious piece of work, whether artistic or analytical. In other creative pursuits, Stroud has also appeared on stage in Wabash productions of "Lend Me a Tenor" and "Macbeth."
In 1945, Senator J. William Fulbright introduced a bill in the United States Congress that called for the use of surplus war property to fund the 'promotion of international good will through the exchange of students in the fields of education, culture, and science.'
From its inception, the Fulbright Program has fostered relationships in which citizens and governments of other countries work with the U.S. to set joint priorities and shape the program to meet shared needs. The fundamental principle of international partnership remains at the core of the Fulbright mission.
The Fulbright U.S. Student Program is the largest U.S. exchange program offering opportunities for students and young professionals to undertake international graduate study, advanced research, university teaching, and primary and secondary school teaching worldwide. The program currently awards approximately 1,900 grants annually in all fields of study, and operates in more than 140 countries worldwide.
Stroud is the fourth Wabash man to earn a Fulbright Scholarship since 2001 and joins Sebastian Garren and Adam Barnes as Fulbright recipients in 2014. Barnes also was selected to the ETA program in Spain.

Even Among Long-Term HIV Nonprogressors, Some Signs of Heightened Cardiovascular Risk Exist, U.S. Study Finds
September 12, 2010
Cardiovascular risk may be slightly higher even among HIV-positive people whose immune systems are able to keep HIV at bay without the help of antiretrovirals, according to a small study by U.S. researchers presented at ICAAC 2010. The findings are far from the last word on the issue of whether HIV treatment or HIV itself is the greater culprit for heart problems. But they appear to lend additional weight to arguments that regardless of whether a person is on HIV treatment, HIV does indeed play its own role in cardiovascular risk.
The study involved just 26 people: 13 HIV-negative volunteers were matched by age, race and sex to 13 HIV long-term nonprogressors (LTNPs), a small proportion of HIV-positive people who have never taken HIV medication, but have nonetheless had a stable CD4 count, stable viral load and no sign of HIV disease progression for at least five years. The study recruited volunteers from two HIV clinics in Illinois. (Results were presented by Hector Bonilla of Summa Health System in Akron, Ohio.)
For each volunteer, the researchers took measurements that are thought to be gauges of cardiovascular risk: Carotid artery intima-media thickness (i.e., the thickness of the internal carotid artery wall) was examined, as well as a number of inflammatory markers, including C-reactive protein (CRP), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM1) and tumor necrosis factor receptor-II (TNF RII). Of these measurements, only TNF RII levels were found to be significantly higher among LTNPs than HIV-negative volunteers; VCAM1 showed a trend toward being worse for LTNPs, but the findings fell short of statistical significance, meaning there is a possibility the trend was due to chance. The researchers also noted that HDL cholesterol levels tended to be much lower among LTNPs than the HIV-negative volunteers, further supporting the trend toward a worse cardiovascular profile among LTNPs. Carotid artery intima-media thickness was similar between the two groups, but a measurement taken at the bulb of the internal carotid artery, right where the artery begins, showed a trend toward being thicker among LTNPs, although this too fell a bit short of statistical significance.
The researchers assert that taken together, the findings suggest that ongoing HIV replication is causing increased levels of inflammation and atherosclerosis, which can in turn increase a person's risk for developing cardiovascular problems. That conclusion is in line with a number of earlier studies on inflammation and cardiovascular risk, but what makes this study intriguing is that it found signs of these problems even in people whose immune system appears to keep HIV replication under control naturally. (Although a few of the LTNPs in this study had a viral load that hovered in the 10,000 to 20,000 range, most had a viral load below 2,000, and four had a viral load below 400, technically making them "elite controllers.")
According to study author Hector Bonilla, these findings support his view that a person who has been diagnosed with HIV should generally begin antiretroviral therapy as soon as possible, regardless of CD4 count or viral load. Although that opinion is shared by many HIV clinicians, it remains a subject of intense debate. Some clinicians still support an upper CD4 limit to starting treatment, while many others feel that a wide range of risks and benefits (as well as an HIV-positive person's mental readiness) should be taken into account before a decision is made to start treatment, at least for people with a CD4 count above 350.

It's been a meteoric three weeks for former waitress Mallory Hytes Hagan since she won the 2013 Miss America Pageant here at Planet Hollywood on Jan. 12.
First the whirlwind week in New York appearing on more than 10 TV shows, and then jetting to New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII events where she became the belle of the bowl.
Mallory joked that in a flash, she'd gone from waiting tables at Lure Fish Cafe in Manhattan serving Beyonce and hip-hop mogul husband Jay-Z to posing with Beyonce, this year's Pepsi Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show headliner, for pre-halftime concert photos.
Mallory met stars and sports personalities with her day on Radio Row at the Super Bowl. Las Vegas contributing photographer Tom Donoghue was with her every step of the way for today's extraordinary photo gallery.
On the eve of Super Bowl Sunday, the NFL traditionally hosts Taste of the NFL, its gala VIP party with a purpose to combat hunger. Mallory co-hosted the silent auction, signed autographs, mingled with guests and sports legends and posed for photos with chefs from every NFL city.
Since 1992, the Taste of the NFL has rallied the country's top chefs and the NFL's greatest to raise money in support of U.S. food banks. Through the efforts of hundreds of volunteers who help make Taste of the NFL the most successful charitable event at the Super Bowl, the program continues to help feed the 37 million Americans who have turned to local food banks for assistance.
Mallory, who correctly predicted the Baltimore Ravens win, flew Monday from Louisiana to L.A. and today is flipping pancakes at IHOP for National Pancake Day. Miss America contestants across the country are doing the same. IHOP donates the pancakes to customers for free in exchange for a donation to benefit Children's Miracle Network Hospitals.
Although CMN co-founder Marie Osmond is on tour in England during a break from her Strip shows at the Flamingo, she tweeted this morning to fans encouraging them to visit their neighborhood IHOP. She set a goal of $3 million for donations.
Here locally, Miss Nevada Randi Sundquist and Miss Nevada's Outstanding Teen Ellie Smith worked at IHOP next to Nellis Air Force Base.
Incidentally after their smash-hit, sold-out British concert tour, Donny and Marie return to the Flamingo next Tuesday for a run through June 21, and they've told fans that they will remain at the Flamingo for at least another year.

Catering to the young and modern crowd, Planet Hollywood is a one-stop shop for entertainment with its massive shopping mall, slew of restaurants, spacious casino and clubs.
The ambiance of the casino is retro-chic meets high-tech with black granite floors throughout and colorful LED lights throughout the space. The theme carries into the 100,000 square-foot casino with 250 flat screens topping off slot machines. The casino is also home to 87 tables, a sports book and a poker room.
There's also the Miracle Mile Shops, one Vegas' largest malls, with 140 stores including BCBG Max Azaria, bebe, Urban Outfitters and The Discovery Channel Store.
Following an afternoon of shopping, guests can satisfy their appetites at one of the gourmet restaurants in Planet Hollywood, like the non-traditional approach to steakhouses at Strip House or check out the exotic Far East motif at KOI restaurant and lounge. And if guests are still looking for more, they can spend the after hours at Privé, Triq or Krave nightclubs.
Perhaps one of the resorts biggest attractions came in March with the addition of "Peepshow." The naughty twist on the story of Little Bo Peep is modern-day spin on the run-of-the-mill Vegas topless review. The "Peepshow" stage has seen visiting celebs like Scary Spice Mel B, "Dancing with the Stars" Kelly Monaco and Playboy's Holly Madison.

Mistake one. Asking a Walmart employee a question. Mistake two. Expecting a rational answer from said Walmart employee.
Years ago, I belive in 2003 when there was no new product for months, I actually printed out little cards with little holes punched in them that said "Dear Target, Please re-stock you Star Wars figures." I then would hang them on every empty peg in the SW section. I don't know if it ever worked, and I'm sure they thought I was a loon, but it felt good to point out how much business they were losing.
