A picture is worth a thousand words and for this country music fan who enjoys listening to music from Reba and Carrie Underwood to Sugarland, Trace Atkins and the newest star Taylor Swift, last Monday night’s CMT Music Awards was one of the best shows yet. I really didn’t know how the whole two host father daughter team of Bill Ray Cyrus and Miley Cyrus would work, but I have to say combined with the comedy and there duet performance during the show was entertaining.I could believe just how many country music stars came out for one event and yet Snoop Dog doesn’t come to mind and yet he was a presenter. Really this show is all about the performances and the awards that are voted on by the fans and while I loved seeing Carrie Underwood close the show with All-American Girl along with

Mackinac Island, Michigan- Classic Saturday Morning Cartoons have been chosen as the theme for the 2008 Lilac Festival. The Saturday Morning Cartoon is the term for all American animated television programming scheduled on Saturday mornings from the 1960s to the 1990s and is often referred to by its critics as "illustrated radio" because of its focus on voice, music and sound effects. By the late 1970's, the networks were encouraged to create educational spots that endeavored to use animation for enriching content. Far and away the most successful effort was the Schoolhouse Rock series on ABC, which became a television classic.Mackinac Island shopkeepers create gorgeous window displays in order to compete for the coveted first, second, third and most creative plaques while businesses dress

Nibal ThawabtehHere's a story of a Palestinian woman who apparently doesn't need a blog or to appear on Fox News to denounce honor killings and terrorism. She apparently does not feel the need to answer critics of Islam, because we all know that every Muslim must categorically denounce violence lest they want the world to think of them as extremists. No, Nibal Thawabteh quietly goes about her business as a council member of a conservative village and publishes a monthly newspaper, Al-Hal, that investigates Palestinian political and social issues. She writes about the hot-button topics of the day: incest, polygamy, honor killings, illegal marriages, lesbianism and the plight of the poor. From what I gather from this article, Nibal Thawabteh is representing the Palestinian people and answe

As “Heroes of the Environment”, he is in the same list as Al Gore, Prince Charles and Mikhail Gorbachev. Hernandez is one of Asia’s leading activists against waste incineration. Instead he advocates the effective, polluatant-free technology that is recyling and recomposting of the mountains of trash across the Philippines. “The garbage problem in the Philippines can’t be burned away through waste incineration. Incineration spews dangerous toxic fumes and poison ash into the environment. Through community waste reduction and recycling programs, the Philippines can safely manage our garbage while protecting human health and the environment.” Hernandez

let me preface this with a single statement in that i hate the program at our school known as business honors. why? it is (while wrong to act on stereotypes, it is not so wrong to profile) around 75% full of useless dips. what do i mean? well you’ll actually have to get to know the people to believe this but most of the people in this “prestigious” program (mind you, the rating has fallen every year from the top ten in the nation to god only knows) take an officer position and then don’t do the work. to give more credit to this program’s challenges and thereby reasons to possibly surmise its respectability is the fact that many classes are 50% As and 50% Bs. wow, throw in grade inflation like harvard’s and what do you have? obviously a harvard… or maybe not? i will have to say however, the classes are more challenging, but not because they have better profs, which is debatable, but rather the teaching style. let me now tell you the one greates

In New York, you're more likely to walk by the red carpet for the VH1 Hip Hop Honors Awards on your way to meet your girls at a bar after work.And once you've been here for awhile, you're more likely to not care about waiting around to glimpse celebs as you snap a quick camera phone pic simply because you have a blog in which you plan to write later about how likely you are not to care ... and you continue speed walking along 34th Street to happy hour.And while you've been here for awhile but not really all that long (say ... a little over a year), you still secretly think it's pretty cool as you turn the corner and meet your friends on 10th Avenue.

Tight end L.J.

Frank MD, PhD and Co-Scientific Director of the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization. "As we pay
