Encouraging defensive players to be aggressive, hit hard and not back down is standard procedure in pro football. Paying them to injure the opposition is not.

New Orleans Saints players and at least one assistant coach, defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, maintained a bounty pool of up to $50,000 the

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on March 5, 2012 at 9:42pm

In a hip, artsy, area of Houston, a hip, artsy pastor is taking an unorthodox approach to Lent.

Standing in front of his congregation at Ecclesia Church, a congregation he admits is different - more diverse, more urban - than many evangelical churches - Chris Seay encouraged them to do so something he said combines the ideas of sacrifice and devotion that mark the Lenten season, the 40-day lead up to Easter.

He asked them to get tattoos. Specifically, he asked congregants to get a tatt

"GCB" brings together a Texas church, a klatch of stiletto-clad socialites and a secretly gay husband. Forget stirring controversy -- this show could whip it up into a froth.

Long before its Sunday night premiere on ABC, the series, originally titled "Good Christian B****es," rustled the feathers of critics and groups like the Parents Television Council and the Women's Media C

Deron Williams really wanted to make his tee time Monday morning in Miami.

Knowing coach Avery Johnson would be giving his team the day off if they won, Williams took matters into his own hands and scored a franchise-record 57 points to lead the New Jersey Nets to a 104-10

Opposition Cries Fraud After Vladimir Putin's Victory in Russia's Presidential Election

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on March 5, 2012 at 9:06pm

Thousands of Russians gathered Monday for a massive rally to challenge Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's victory in Russia's presidential election, chanting "Shame!" and "Russia without Putin!"

Demonstrators are contesting the outcome of the vote, pointing to a campaign heavily slanted in Putin's favor and to reports of widespread violations in Sunday's ballot.

Putin won more than 63 percent of the vote according to the nearly complete official returns, but the opposition and independent

Fifteen-month-old Angel Babcock seemed to be the miracle survivor of a deadly tornado that killed her parents and two siblings when she arrived Friday night at Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Ky. Though critically injured when the twister scooped her up and deposited her in a field, Angel was opening her eyes. Hospital workers said that was a hopeful sign.

ASUS claims it may be among first to get Android 5.0, confirms Jelly Bean moniker Plus Android 6.0 Is Code Named Key Lime Pie

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on March 5, 2012 at 5:30pm

We’ve seen some pretty incredible smartphones and technologies at MWC, but it goes without saying that one of the hottest topics at the show was Android, and speculation over the release and alias of its next-gen operating system. Based on Google’s update schedule, it’s within reason to expect Android 5.0 to hit within the next year — but which popular confection will bear the honor or representing the latest OS flavor? There’s been little doubt that the jelly bean will fill that role, and no

In recent years, it’s become a fashion for Apple prototype parts to pop up just weeks ahead of hardware launches; and it seems like there’s no exception for the upcoming next-gen iPad, which is believed to feature a 2,048 x 1,536 IPS LCD within the same 9.7-inch footprint. While we’re only two days away from seeing Tim Cook and co. unveiling said tablet, we couldn’t help but take a look at its bits and bobs acquired by our good friends over at M.I.C. Gadget.

Hot on the heels of this weekend’s LG Cayman (now called the Lucid 4G) and Droid Fighter release date leak comes rumors of yet another set of release dates for some new VZW hotness. This go around is a 16GB version of the Galaxy Nexus – presumably in both white and black – set to hit on April 4th for all those folks who are convinced that 32GB is just too much storage, or perhaps those who just can’t justify the price tag but still want to get in on some of that Nexus action.

We were waiting for this and it’s finally here. It’s a surprise, but not in a good way. The previously unpriced Samsung Galaxy S Advance is, to Samsung, seemingly priceless. The device is set to go on sale for a whopping $650.

To put it into perspective, take a look at what you get for that price as listed by the FCC documents.
