3. Drudge -- Stories
   In August 2005, political commentator Arianna Huffington launched her political blog and news site, "The Huffington Post," to provide a forum for progressive issues and to compete with the conservative slanted Drudge Report. Nearly a year (and a myriad of bombshell political stories) later, The Huffington Post has demonstrated its gravitas in the arena by featuring guest columns from a wide array of high profile politicians, strategists and celebrities. While Drudge Report has established itself as the torchbearer in this internet space, The Huffington Post is gaining ground quickly and proving a formidable opponent to Drudge.
4. Vagrant Story
   Instead of the usual rpg game from Square, Vagrant Story is more of a computer rpg where you explore one dungeon/maze after another. The game has a unique battle system plus some cutting edge new gameplay. Find out more about this game right here as you join Ashley on his quest to stop the evil Sydney.
5. Toy Story
   Nonetheless, the endless value of Toy Story appears to be anything but short-lived. With its statuses as G-rated family and sharp, genuinely funny comedy, it is truly a universally pleasing masterpiece. It is smart, original, and displays a timeless flair which makes one wonder how this story went untold until 1995.
6. Story of the Year -- No
   NEW YORK, Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The passing of Julia Child, the world's first celebrity chef, bubbled up as the nation's No. 1 food-related news story in 2004, according to a recent survey of the nation's food editors. Eulogized as "a true American treasure" on front-page stories in August, Child was known for encouraging Americans to tackle the challenges of French cuisine. The Emmy award-winning chef started the TV chef trend back in the '60s and hosted several cooking shows throughout her life. Her ability to laugh at her own on-camera mishaps endeared her to the public as she attempted to make complicated recipes foolproof for less experienced chefs. She died two days shy of her 92nd birthday.
7. William Faulkner -- Stories
   On this day in 1919, twenty-two-year-old William Faulkner published his first prose, a short story entitled "Landing in Luck." It is a lighthearted tale about an air force cadet's first solo flight, and it gives little sign of the style or fame to come, but the autobiographical details behind its telling are pure, playful Faulkner. They ... might make the author worthy of his hero's description as "the biggest liar in the R. A. F."
8. Final Fantasy Adventure -- Stories
   The story is always the driving force behind any Final Fantasy adventure. You play as Tidus, a young sports hero living in Zanarkand. With his pretty-boy good looks and blonde locks he is the David Beckham of blitzball, a sort of underwater rugby/basketball hybrid. The adventure begins on the night of the Zanarkand blitzball championship match. As Tidus wows the crowds with his nifty swimming and fancy footwork, a strange vortex starts to form over Zanarkand.
9. Michael Mann -- Crime Story
   Michael Mann is an award-winning storyteller, author, training consultant and speaker, bringing a variety of educational programs and workshops to children and adults. Michael has been an active advocate of the mission of the National Institute on Media and the Family since 1997, originally as a media rater for the MediaWise® KidScore® program.
10. Chita Rivera -- West Side Story
    Chita Rivera, the great Broadway star, recently turned 74. Looking at the woman, you think what a body. Looking at her resume, you think what a body of work! With stellar credits like the original productions of West Side Story, Bye Bye Birdie, Chicago and her Tony-winning turns in The Rink (opposite close friend Liza Minnelli) and Kiss of the Spider Woman, no one can doubt Newsweek’s claim that Rivera is "the greatest musical theater dancer ever." Southern California audiences now have a chance to judge for themselves as Chita Rivera: The Dancer’s Life, a show paying tribute to Rivera’s career and starring the woman herself, arrives at Orange County Performing Arts Center’s Segerstrom Hall for five nights beginning March 20.
