Tai Chi in New York City

Have you ever walked through a park early in the morning and seen a group of people in a meditative state performing slow, beautifully graceful movements in unison? If you have, then what you were witnessing was the ancient Chinese martial arts form, Tai Chi Chuan, or Tai Chi for short. There are Tai Chi studios in NYC, almost as ubiquitous as the yoga studio these days, as well as parks and gardens that offer classes outdoors, which tends to be the more traditional way that it is practiced. Here is a short list of venues, both indoors and out, that offer classes if you want to learn this practice. You could also just go to the parks and watch. While it might not be as lovely as watching tai chi practioners on the beach at sunset, there is something very calm and soothing about seeing this beautiful art form in practice – even in a park in New York City.

College ACB Guide Details,Website,Reviews And Rumours Exclusive

College ACB.com is a website that allows students from over 500 colleges across the United States to post anonymous gossip, rumors, rants, and discussions about people and college-related activities, similar to the previous gossip website JuicyCampus.com. College ACB describes itself as “designed to give students a place to vent, rant, and talk to college peers in an environment free from social constraints and about subjects that might otherwise be taboo” and claims to promote “deep and thoughtful discussion” (Frank, Peter) College ACB separates itself from its predecessor JuicyCampus by allowing several user friendly features and the ability to regulate boards by reporting any posts that may come across as offensive. The website also has an adjoining blog

collegeacb.blogspot.com, which updates frequently about new features and news related to College ACB. Despite its continued success and allowance for user regulation, many see College ACB as a duplicate of JuicyCampus in that it promotes slander and gossip. Carolyn White of the Cornell Daily Sun described College ACB as being “a disease, contagious and addictive. Worse, it is self-destructive and undermines everything universities stand for” (White, Carolyn)

Despite its success, College ACB has seen its share of controversy due to its similar gossip and rumor style to its predecessor JuicyCampus. University students interviewed by Time Magazine described College ACB as “ranging from the helpful…to sex fantasies, gossiping, teasing friends,…[and] a lot of hate” (TimeMagazine Youtube)Several college students, such as Jared Sichel of Tulane University have openly stated they wish to “Ban College ACB” (Sichel, Jared)due to the harm that it can cause to students. Mark Smith, associate professor of communications at Truman University, states that “it is legal for schools to ban College ACB” (Elizabeth, Koch) Peter Frank states that his website allows students to “build a community” (Frank, Peter)and exercise their rights to free speech, but by allowing students freedom to post what they want, College ACB welcomes bashing of other students and provokes personal attacks that are often rooted in rumors.


Ryan Mueller of Truman State University states that College ACB “can cause damage to people's reputations and [give] others a false impression” (Koch, Elizabeth)thereby harming or damaging students emotional state. Despite the controversy surrounding College ACB, Peter Frank himself is virtually free of lawsuits that would eliminate College ACB due to the Communications Decency Act of 1996 which states that “operators of Internet services are not to be construed as publishers and thus not legally liable for the words of third parties who use their services” (“Communications Decency Act,” 2010) In early 2010, Amber Pickett, a communications major at the University of Tennessee at Martin began spear heading a campaign that would remove the University from College ACB, stating that “there is a point where you can abuse your freedom of speech” (Emery, Regina)

The website was opened in the wake of JuicyCampus’s closing on June 2 , 2010 by two recent university graduate students, Andrew Mann of John Hopkins University and Aaron Larner of Wesleyan University. The site is currently run by Peter Frank, also a student of Wesleyan University who graduates in 2012. On February 1, 2010, the website reached a record with over “900,000 impressions [in one day]” (Frank, Peter)

It is unknown if there is the hemorrhage is related to the surgery at this point. Michaels is currently conscious, but the source of the bleeding has not yet been found.

But! Alexis will be in court this week on issues related to Bling Ring.

She said she would get a slap on the wrist – or face the consequences? Moral of the story: Rob a bunch of innocent people, and get your mail! Reality series. Yay, America!?

'Celebrity Apprentice ' recap: Bret Micheal Introduces Us to the Tour Bus Thrust

Stricken with a brain hemorrhage in real life, the Poison front man has nothin' but a good time on TV as he thrusts his way through another entertaining episode.

Let's just get it out of the way right now: How awkward would that have been if Donald Trump had fired Bret Michaels last night? The rock star is clinging to life, in critical condition after suffering a brain hemorrhage. It's a scary, scary situation, and it made me really apprehensive about watching the latest episode of Celebrity Apprentice.

How can we possibly have fun and enjoy ourselves watching two hours of the silliest television program ever recorded when one of its contestants is fighting for his life? But then it hit me: This is Bret Michaels we're talking about! Pursuit of fun is this dude's whole modus operandi, which explains songs with titles like ''Nothin' But a Good Time.''

This is a guy that's all about wanting to entertain, and let me just say this: Bret Michaels was extremely entertaining on this latest episode of Celebrity Apprentice. We'll get to all that in a minute because you know I am simply dying to break down the genius that was ''Pump Up the Weiner,'' but back to what could have been one of the worst-timed exits in reality history: Becaue Bret's team lost last night, and Bret brought in the least amount of money, Trump could have easily the fired the guy.

Keep in mind, this was all taped months ago, so there's obviously no way the Donald could have known it would be coming on the heels of Bret being in the hospital, but it still would have been seriously wince-worthy if he had been tossed out of the Boardroom and forced to take that cold, lonely ride down with Adrian the elevator operator. (After scoring Amanda the receptionist's digits, of course.)

That's why I feel okay about the Donald's cop out of not firing anyone. Normally, when reality shows fail to eliminate someone after an episode, I rail on and on about how we viewers demand fresh meat each and every week. If there is no elimination then there are no stakes. It's why non-elimination legs of The Amazing Race drive me cuckoo for Cocoa-Puffs. But knowing what we know about Bret's current situation, this fortuitous timing was much more preferable to seeing him get booted out of Trump Tower. Also, let's not forget: It's Celebrity Apprentice! It doesn't really matter who stays and who goes. The journey is far too entertaining to even worry about the destination. So let's get into this weeks journey, shall we?

After skipping pretty much every single task of the entire season, Sharon — clearly inspired by the work ethic of Darryl Strawberry — decided she didn't want to play anymore. But that was before she got a chance to watch Trump's son Barron hit golf balls into a net! Clearly inspired by his athletic prowess (as well as Trump switching up the teams to make Curtis, Cyndi, Summer, and Holly the new Tenacity, and Bret, Sharon, and Maria the new RockSolid) Sharon was completely revitalized.

The task was for the teams to create and run a workout class at something called 24 Hour Fitness. They were able to call on their big donor friends for cash, but had to get some poor schlubs to actually take the class in their place.

Weinsteins, Burkle in exclusive Miramax talks: sources

Hollywood producers Bob and Harvey Weinstein and their financial backer, billionaire Ron Burkle's Yucaipa Companies, have an exclusive negotiating window to negotiate buying Disney's Miramax Films division, three sources with knowledge of the situation said on Friday.

The Walt Disney Co was seeking about $700 million for Miramax, sources said earlier this week. The Weinsteins and Yucaipa are offering $625 million, the New York Times reported on Friday, for the shuttered studio with a library of more than 600 films, including "Pulp Fiction."

The window temporarily sidelines competing bidders, one of the sources told Reuters on condition of anonymity because the negotiations were not public. A Weinstein spokeswoman declined to comment, and officials with Disney did not return calls.

Film executive David Bergstein said he is advising construction magnate Ron Tutor and other investors who had offered $650 million.

Financiers Alec and Tom Gores are behind another offer and are being advised by their brother, Sam Gores, who heads the Paradigm Talent Agency.

The Gores offered $550 million, but a source said this week that they increased that bid, although it was unclear by how much.

Revelations that Disney was floating a sale of Miramax surfaced in media reports in January.

One source familiar with the deal said that Disney could close the sale next week, while another source said it could happen within the next two weeks.

A third source said the Weinsteins have an advantage in the auction, because they still control certain rights to titles in the library that had been made under their long stewardship of Miramax.

Bob and Harvey Weinstein founded Miramax in 1979 and sold it to Disney in 1993 for $80 million. The pair continued to run the company until they left in 2005 to form The Weinstein Co.

A source said that if the sale is complete, Yucaipa would own Miramax and the Weinsteins would manage it.

Florida State CB Patrick Robinson taken 32nd overall by Saints.

Former Florida State cornerback Patrick Robinson became the first FSU player to be picked in the first round since 2007, going to the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints.

Heading into the NFL Draft, Patrick Robinson said he hoped to end Florida State's first-round drought, and that is just what he did -- barely.
Thursday night, a lifelong dream came true for the former Seminole cornerback, as Robinson (5-11, 190 pounds) was selected 32nd overall by the Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints -- the last pick of the first round.

Robinson, a former Gulliver Prep star, is the 35th Seminole to be drafted in the first round, and the first since 2007 when linebacker Lawrence Timmons was drafted 15th overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Heading into his senior season, Robinson was considered a first-round lock. Former FSU defensive coordinator Mickey Andrews said on numerous occasions that, physically, Robinson was just as strong as elite FSU cornerbacks Deion Sanders and Terrell Buckley, or any other former Seminoles.

But after being part of a defense that ranked just 77th against the pass, his stock slipped, and the first round didn't seem like such a certainty. The fact that Robinson failed to intercept a single pass also didn't help, although he had 11 pass breakups and 36 tackles.


ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said during Thursday night's broadcast that one of the reasons Robinson had zero interceptions might have been that teams didn't throw his way often, and that he had a good season but not an elite season.
``You expected him to be elite as a junior and a senior,'' Kiper said. ``He was good; he wasn't great.''
Kiper also said that while Robinson didn't have many chances to make plays on the ball during his senior year, he stepped up his tackling and forced two fumbles, making him attractive to teams.

``I was impressed with his tackling ability,'' Kiper said. ``I thought he was a good all-around player.''
Despite not having an interception, his senior leadership led FSU's coaches to name Robinson the team's 2009 defensive MVP.

Once the season ended, Robinson went to Orlando to train with Tom Shaw to prepare for the Senior Bowl, NFL Scouting Combine and FSU's pro day in the hopes of getting back into the first-round picture.

His pro day workout in Tallahassee might have been what got him back in the first-round mix. Some scouts clocked Robinson as fast as 4.38 in the 40-yard dash.
Robinson should have a chance to compete for playing time in New Orleans. Despite winning the Super Bowl last season, the Saints gave up an average of 300.3 yards per game through the air, and opposing teams completed 68.9 percent of their pass attempts.

Robinson worked almost exclusively in man coverage during his career at Florida State, which should fit with defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' blitzing style.
Cornerbacks were a hot commodity in the first round. Robinson was the fifth corner selected among the first 32 picks, behind Joe Haden (Florida), Kareem Jackson (Alabama), Devin McCourty (Rutgers) and Kyle Wilson (Boise State).

With the second and third rounds taking place Friday night, Robinson will be watching to see if former teammates Dekoda Watson and Myron Rolle are the next Seminoles taken in the draft.

BY -Paul Thomas

Scouting Report: Devin McCourty

Position: Cornerback

College: Rutgers

Height: 5-foot-11

Weight: 193

40 time: 4.42

Age: 22

Hometown: Nanuet, N.Y.

Skill set: A tough, physical cornerback, McCourty excels in man and zone coverage. He is also a special teams star, as shown by his seven blocked kicks in his career. His 80 tackles - 7 for a loss - show he isn’t afraid to get dirty. He may not be flashy, but he’s gritty.

Reason to cheer: In 158 passes thrown in his area, McCourty held receivers to 42 catches for 386 yards. He had just one interception, but few passes went his way. For all the Patriots [team stats] struggles against the pass, this is one huge addition. They have some talent there, but when facing Peyton Manning and the rest of the top-flight corners, there can never be too much.

Reason to jeer: McCourty or not, the Pats still have pass-rush issues. They watched potential targets Jared Odrick of Penn State and Sergio Kindle of Texas slide, doing nothing to collect sacks. And this is the second consecutive year they’ve used their top pick on a defensive back.

Mock Draft 2010: First Round

1. St. Louis Rams - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
The Rams can’t leave the 2010 NFL Draft without a franchise quarterback going forward. Bradford has passed every test scouts have thrown at him, and he will probably sign with St. Louis before draft day.

2. Detroit Lions - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
A left tackle would be a good move, but Suh completes a defensive line that actually belongs in the NFC North. The Lions are making the right moves to compete soon.

3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
They wanted Suh, but McCoy is still a top-notch prospect. The Bucs are in total rebuilding mode, and anchoring the defensive line is a great place to start.

4. Washington Redskins - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
A great option here is to trade down in the top 10 with a team that wants Okung, Jimmy Clausen or Eric Berry. Offensive tackle is deep enough in this draft to move down and still get a great blind-side blocker.

5. Kansas City Chiefs - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Iowa’s Bryan Bulaga is the safe choice, but Williams has great upside. A lot of fans think Eric Berry will go here, but general manager Scott Pioli is unlikely to take a safety this early in the draft.

6. Seattle Seahawks - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Like the Chiefs, the Seahawks absolutely have to get some pass blocking up front. Matt Hasselbeck is pretty much done because he kept getting hit. A quarterback is also a realistic option.

7. Cleveland Browns - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
The Browns could take Jimmy Clausen if he’s available, but that may not happen. Berry is the most talented player in the draft, and the Browns’ secondary needs a lot of help.

8. Oakland Raiders - Bruce Campbell, OT, Maryland
Another Terrapin workout warrior for Al Davis to salivate over. Campbell’s great 40-time will help him hurry back to the sideline every time Oakland’s offense goes three and out.

9. Buffalo Bills - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame
Buffalo wants this kid, so they’ll trade up with either Washington or Kansas City to make sure the Browns don’t grab him first. It’s very unlikely Clausen falls beyond No. 9.

10. Jacksonville Jaguars - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
Jacksonville needs help in a lot of places, and one of them is the secondary. Earl Thomas is a playmaker who can restore some identity to a defense without one.

11. Denver Broncos - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
Dez Bryant is an option in the wake of the Brandon Marshall trade, but will the Broncos replace one head case with another? Not when Champ Bailey is aging and the Broncos could use an upgrade anyway on the other side.

12. Miami Dolphins - Rolando McClain, ILB, Alabama
This run-stopper from ‘Bama will be an excellent complement to the recently acquired Karlos Dansby, one of the best coverage linebackers in the league.

13. San Francisco 49ers - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
The first running back is off the board. The ’Niners have offensive weapons, but Spiller can score from anywhere. He’s also a threat in the return game, and San Francisco can’t afford to watch division rival Seattle take him at No. 14.

14. Seattle Seahawks - Taylor Mays, S, USC
Three safeties in the top 15? Pete Carroll knows what he’s getting after coaching Mays for four years at Southern Cal, so the oft-criticized safety will have a smooth transition in training camp. Mays is an athletic playmaker who fits a need.

15. New York Giants - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
The best pass rusher slides to the Giants, who need to get back to their roots on defense. They went four deep at defensive end when they won Super Bowl XLII, so using the 15th pick on a top-10 talent at that position is the right move.

16. Tennessee Titans - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
Everyone loves JPP’s upside – he’s talented enough to go in the top 10. However, work ethic issues could keep his rookie salary down. In need of a pass rusher, Tennessee happily takes Pierre-Paul to round out the first half of Round 1.

17. San Francisco 49ers – Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise St.
Right tackle can wait until round 2. The 49ers would love to have a second cornerback with talent like this across from Nate Clements, and with two first-rounders they can afford to do so.

18. Pittsburgh Steelers – Maurkice Pouncey, G/C, Florida.
The Steelers need to get back to running the ball, especially without Big Ben early on, so they take a versatile interior lineman to make some lanes for up-and-coming star Rashard Mendenhall.

19. Atlanta Falcons – Sean Weatherspoon, OLB, Missouri.
Atlanta needs to stock up on quality defensive starters. They’re a good team, but they can’t take the next step with fourth round talent on defense. The Falcons could be a sneaky NFC contender in 2010.

20. Houston Texans – Ryan Matthews, RB, Fresno State.
Houston needs a real running back, not just a track star like Steve Slaton. This selection would give them a playoff-worthy rushing duo, and playoffs are exactly what fans expect after eight seasons of being the new guys in town.

21. Cincinnati Bengals – Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma St.
Dez Bryant’s long slide ends in Cincinnati. Chad Ochocinco is a free agent after 2011, and owner Mike Brown is paranoid about having another disastrous season at receiver. He’s a bit of a diva, but since when has that bothered the Bengals? Good value here.

22. New England Patriots – Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma.
The Patriots will be ecstatic that Cincinnati didn’t take this ridiculous athlete. Tom Brady will really benefit from having a quality pass catcher besides Randy Moss and Wes Welker, especially a red-zone threat like Gresham.

23. Green Bay Packers – Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers.
This pick will absolutely be an offensive tackle, regardless of who’s available. The Packers take the best one available, which in this case is Mr. Upside from Rutgers. Aaron Rodgers can sleep at night.

24. Philadelphia Eagles – Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan.
The Eagles really need another pass rusher to beat the three great quarterbacks they’ll face in the NFC East. They’ll be pretty thrilled if Graham falls to here, because this means Donovan McNabb will actually have to work to beat his old team.

25. Baltimore Ravens – Dan Williams, NT, Tennessee.
The Ravens are great at drafting because they simply wait and see which great player fell too far. Dan Williams could go in the top 15 picks, so this would be a really easy choice for Baltimore, which could use an upgrade at nose tackle anyway.

26. Arizona Cardinals – Mike Iupati, G, Idaho.
With Matt Leinart and Derek Anderson as the top two quarterbacks on the roster, the Cards will have to learn to run the ball. They have two capable backs in Beanie Wells and Tim Hightower, so they’ll want a bruiser like Iupati to open up some holes.

27. Dallas Cowboys – Charles Brown, OT, USC.
Dallas is thin at offensive tackle, so grabbing a guy this good this late is a steal. Jerry Jones wanted Iupati, but the Cowboys will take who they can get. Brown is an underrated prospect.

28. San Diego Chargers – Jahvid Best, RB, California
The Chargers let LaDainian Tomlinson go, and Darren Sproles is on an expiring contract. They really need a talented rusher going forward, especially with the pathetic attempt at rushing against the Jets in the AFC Divisional round.

29. New York Jets – Sergio Kindle, OLB, Texas.
When you’re drafting this good a player for depth, you’ve got a pretty damn good team. New York grabs another pass rusher to give the opposition absolute nightmares.

30. Minnesota Vikings – Colt McCoy, QB, Texas.
Surprised? The Vikings have no serious needs, so they’re grabbing their replacement for Brett Favre, who will only play for 14 more seasons before ascending into Heaven. McCoy’s accuracy is ideal for a West Coast offense.

31. Indianapolis Colts – Jared Odrick, DT, Penn St.
You can always use more defensive line help. Odrick is a great defensive tackle for a 4-3 scheme, so Indianapolis won’t hesitate if he’s there. The Colts inexplicably take offense in the first round pretty often, though. Watch out for the Bill Polian Special.

32. New Orleans Saints – Brian Price, DT, UCLA.
Having Price play alongside former top-10 pick Sedrick Ellis will make for one mean interior defensive line. The Saints bolster their run defense with the final first round pick to begin their title defense.

Los Angeles: American Idol results April 21, who got voted off american idol & American Idol top 6. The most popular reality show American Idol has entered into an important phase. Most of the participants are working overtime to win hearts and minds of judges and viewers.

However, some participants have vowed the judges with their stellar performance. Those who have been following the show say that Crystal and Lee stand away from the pack.

Then there are others like Frankie Valli and Fergie.

But Crystal has been impressive throughout the show. She is not a girl but a full-grown woman. She put the stage on fire with her performance. Thousands had tuned to their television sets to watch their star slog it out. Crystal entered the show in an emotionally naked state. The show that is held every year draws a huge talent from across the country. When the audition of the show started then hundreds of talent had turned up to try their luck. But among them only a few were lucky. Some made it to the top twenty and the rest were told to go home. They have another chance to try their luck. That is why from day one the show was competitive. Gradually many star contestants left and now the competition has become stiff.

'South Park' Recap

As we pick up from last week's episode, Mr. Garrison tells Cartman to go find Mephisto, the genetic engineer, to find out who his real dad is. Meanwhile, it turns out that the town of South Park was going to just hand over Santa Claus in a teddy bear suit instead of the prophet Mohammad (now censored in both appearance and name). As this is revealed, Mecha-Barbra Streisand begins attacking the town. Cartman gets into Mephisto's lab by having Mitch Connor (his fist) disguise as a black man in distress (using the "we have a black president" routine to goad him). Before he can get an answer, Kyle, Stan, and Kenny enter the lab with Mohammad, begging Mephisto to clone him so they can give those to the rowdy celebrities and gingers. Mecha-Streisand crushes Pip the British kid.

After she destroys Casa Bonita and Country Kitchen Buffet, the Super Best Friends are enlisted to help stop Mecha-Streisand, and they have Vishnu use his transforming powers to turn into Neil Diamond, because as we all know she can't resist performing a duet with him. The ruse works and the beast is subdued. But the gingers have infiltrated Mephisto's lab and have taken the whole gang and Mohammad hostage. They make a bargain with the celebrities: share Rob Reiner's goo-machine and they'll share Mohammad. Cartman is meanwhile taken to the ginger king: Scott Tenorman, the kid whose parents Cartman had killed (and fed to Scott) many years prior. Scott promises to reveal who Cartman's dad is in the most painful way possible.

Tom Cruise successfully uses the goo machine and is now censored in appearance and in name like Mohammad. At this point, Tenorman has revealed to Cartman that they both share the same father, who was a player for the Denver Broncos. The Super Best Friends come to save the situation, only to pause to laugh that Tom Cruise has Seaman on his back. Reiner's goo experiment is proved to be ineffective, as Cruise can still be made fun of even with Mohammad's goo. Kyle learns something today, and gives a speech that is completely censored. (As does Jesus.) South Park rebuilds it town for the 39th time, while Cartman is in mourning: over the fact that he's half-ginger. But Mitch Connor cheers him up by telling him that he's also half-Denver Bronco, which makes him pretty cool. Tom Cruise is suffering too, because he can't be any place where he won't be ripped on for who he is. The boys promise to send Cruise to a place where that will never happen again: the "Zypod Kingdom" on the moon. The final shot of the episode is of Cruise's corpse on the moon aside "Willzyx" the whale's, who the kids sent many years ago.
