"He was battling aggressive lung cancer," Pitcox said Wednesday in a statement. "He remained conscious until the last couple of hours and passed away peacefully at about 10:45 p.m. on Tuesday night surrounded by his friends and family." - Geoffrey Bodine
There is no doubt that Geoffrey Bodine was destined to do one thing in his life, and that was race cars. As the oldest of three racing Bodine brothers from Chemung, New York, Geoffrey’s path was paved by his father and grandfather, who built the Chemung Speedrome. By the age of five, Bodine was racing at the family track with micro-midgets. The racing reputation of Geoffrey Bodine grew out of NASCAR’s Northeast Modified division. This was a hotbed of great racing talent and saw Bodine win against the likes of legends like Richie Evans, Ron Bouchard, and Jimmy Spencer. By 1978, Bodine won more races in the modified division than any other driver in its history. - Facebook
Facebook is the forum for young people in this country. The internet is by far more influential in the lives of the educated young than television. Barack Obama has nearly 5 times as many supporters as Hillary Clinton on Facebook. Furthermore, he is getting over 20 new supporters per minute. Mrs. Clinton is getting almost 5 new supporters per minute. - Pumpkins -- Smashing Pumpkins
Of all the major alternative rock bands of the early '90s, the Smashing Pumpkins were the group least influenced by traditional underground rock. Lead guitarist/songwriter Billy Corgan fashioned an amalgam of progressive rock, heavy metal, goth rock, psychedelia, and dream pop, creating a layered, powerful sound driven by swirling, distorted guitars. Corgan was wise enough to exploit his angst-ridden lyrics, yet he never shied away from rock star posturing, even if he did cloak it in allegedly ironic gestures. In fact, the Smashing Pumpkins became the model for alternative rock success -- Nirvana was too destructive and Pearl Jam shunned success. The Pumpkins, on the other hand, knew how to play the game, signing to a major-subsidized indie for underground credibility and moving to the major in time to make the group a multi-platinum act. And when the group did achieve mass success with 1993's Siamese Dream, they went a long way to legitimize heavy metal and orchestrated prog rock, helping move alternative rock even closer to '70s AOR, especially in the eyes of radio programmers and mainstream audiences. - The Smashing Pumpkins

There is no pretty story here, just the gritty truth of growing up in the system on the Baltimore streets but...Snoop is a survivor. While other 12 year olds were in school Snoop was learning the drug game. While other 14 year olds were starting high school, Snoop was standing before the judge being sentenced to an 8 year bid. She finished school while behind bars and earned an education the hard way. Snoop was released 6 years later in 2000. Her pretty face showing no sign of the struggle life had been for her so far. - Tamiflu -- Drugs
Tamiflu is an influenza drug that was developed and patented by Gilead Sciences. In 1996 Gilead reached an agreement with Roche to allow the company to manufacture and market the drug. [1] - Avandia -- Drugs
[T]he debate over Avandia's safety may not be finished. Disgruntled patients are already queueing up to sue the drugmaker. Groups ranging from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to Canada's leading health agency have announced restrictions on the drug. And new study results could still cause Avandia to be withdrawn. - Terrence Malick -- New World
"THE New World," Terrence Malick's poetic film about John Smith, Pocahontas and the Jamestown settlement, played for a week last month in New York and Los Angeles, but that version is already obsolete. "The New World" that will open around the country next Friday runs two-and-a-quarter hours, 15 minutes shorter than its earlier incarnation (whose brief run qualified it for Academy Awards) and a lot shorter than the three-hour cut Mr. Malick is preparing for the DVD release. The original is now something like "The New World 1.0," and you might wonder if these multiplying versions are part of some Microsoft-inspired marketing ploy, the film equivalent of the endless tinkering that makes you keep updating Windows.
