It's been a year since Kanye West's outburst against Taylor Swift happened on the MTV Video Music Awards. Kanye has recently taken up twitter to apologize to Taylor over and over again. Do you think Kanye West's apology is sincere?
The West Coast has traditionally led the way in brewing the best American style India Pale Ale's. Now its time to vote, which one is king?
Kanye West Videos...
With California about to legalize pot, and Oregon just about to vote on it, should the rest of the country follow the West Coast's lead.

Recently, Fatah and Hamas put aside their differences that led to a violent battle in Gaza in 2006, and came to terms on a reconciliation agreement to work together in the interests of the Palestinian people. After Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian elections, the world sanctioned the Palestinians and blocked all international funding and allowed Israel to withhold Palestinian taxes it had collected. This pressured Fatah to refuse to accept and allow Hamas to lead the Palestinian Authority, which led to tensions. Pressured by international community, Fatah attempted to squeeze Hamas in the West Bank. After receiving information the international community was pushing Fatah to attempt a Gaza takeover, Hamas launched a preemptive attack and took-over Gaza. The fighting left the Palestinians in the West Bank being led by Fatah and Palestinians in Gaza being led by Hamas. A split between parties on territorial lines.Since this occurred, the discussion of Palestine in the international and US media has divided Gaza and the West Bank as two separate causes. They have been treated differently in the media and by world governments. The sanctions were lifted in the West Bank, but not in Gaza, leaving its residents completely blockaded from the world for something that isn't their fault. The reconciliation of the two at least frames the Palestine issue as being one and not two separate "islands of Palestinians" like Gaza and the West Bank Palestinians. It politically reunifies the Palestinians, giving them a unified voice against Occupation, instead of multiple different fronts. The Palestinian leaders need to come together now and do what is in the Best Interest of the Palestinian People. They should not be dictated terms by Israel or the international community. They should listen to the world and create a strategy of moving forward against the Israeli Military Occupation that takes Palestinian suffering and needs into consideration within a framework of justice acceptable by the international community.
Posted by Bryan FischerSome players who go through the recruiting process often do so with one scholarship offer in mind that they are just hoping comes along. For Jersey City (N.J.) athlete Brandon Napoleon, that offer was from the school he grew up rooting for in West Virginia. The biggest reason he was a fan of the Mountaineers when he was younger is the fact that his father played for the team. On Saturday, Napoleon gave his father, former West Virginia running back Eugene Napoleon, an early Father's Day present when he received an offer from the school and made a commitment to his father's alma mater."It means I'm going to be just like my dad bleeding blue and gold the rest of my life," Napoleon told WVSports.com. 'It's very special to me not just because I committed there but because I get to walk on the same field my dad played on and follow his legacy, but start my own."Mostly a quarterback in high school, the 6-foot, 180-pound Napoleon will likely end up as a defensive back upon arriving in Morgantown but his position in college isn't set yet."There is an opportunity to play early on either side of the ball," he said. "The people are good, everything down there is just a different life. It's a great place."Napoleon selected West Virginia over Indiana, Connecticut, Illinois and Rutgers and becomes the school's sixth commitment for the class of 2012. He threw for almost 900 yards and had nine total touchdowns last season as a junior.

Posted by Bryan FischerAnytime a player goes on an unofficial visit, fans and media members are generally on their toes about a possible commitment. Such was the case this week as Washington (D.C.) running back Albert Reid made the trip down to Morgantown and ended up leaving a verbal pledge for West Virginia."I just committed because it was a second home. I feel comfortable up there. I like the offense they run and I feel myself fitting in really good," Reid told WVSports.com. "I just felt like it was home." With a mostly new coaching staff, including new head coach Dana Holgorsen, the chance to get to know them better on the visit allowed Reid to feel comfortable enough to make a decision.The 5-foot-10, 200-pound back also held scholarship offers from Iowa, Colorado, Stanford and Vanderbilt among others. Reid becomes the eighth overall commitment for West Virginia in 2012 and fifth on offense, which is no surprise given Holgorsen's reputation for explosive offenses.His highlights are below:

His highlights are below:
Listen to Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, in Washington DC as he responds to President Barack Obama's call for the pre-1967 6 Day War Borders for two states, one for the Palestinians and one for the Israeli's. Netanyahu rejected the pre-1967 borders as a basis. This is the basis the international community, international law, the Palestinians, and past American Presidents have used for the state of Palestine. There is virtually no hope for a Palestinian viable state in anything less than the entire West Bank and Gaza Strip. The West Bank and Gaza are only 22% of Palestine. Israel has already ethnically cleansed the rest. Now Netanyahu says they are ethnically cleansing and taking more of Palestine. This is virtually a complete rejection of the Peace Process by Israel. I feel this is also a rejection for Peace by Netanyahu. The Knesset is currently run by the extremist, right wing parties of Israel. Several parties, the Shas, Israel Beytenu, Mafdal (Nationalist Religious Party), amongst others that openly advocate ethnically cleansing the rest of Palestine and annexing the West Bank and making it Israel. Does Israel's Netanyahu want peace with the Palestinians?

MT. PLEASANT — Detroit Cass Tech quarterback Keith Moore wished he could take a couple 31st Annual Michigan All-Star Football game wide receivers with him to Saginaw Valley State.Moore connected on touchdown passes of 61, 68 and 55 yards to Jason Wilson (the first two) of Farmington High, and Ray Tillman of Auburn Hills Avondale, leading the East All-Stars to a 30-13 win over the West squad on Saturday at Central Michigan’s football stadium. “I wish I had them in college,” he said. “The connection was good. “We did that all week in practice, throwing it deep. We had some fast receivers on our side, so why not use the speed? “The first day in practice, the first pass — I didn’t know their speed so my first one was underthrown,” Moore continued. “But after that, every time we threw the ball downfield there was a connection.” Wilson is headed to CMU for college ball. He was happy to be playing on the field where he hopes to make many similar plays in the next few years. “It was a great week of fun with the guys, and we worked hard together,” Wilson said. “The quarterbacks threw the ball up and we just had to run them down, make a play. “The blocks from up front were great. The blocks held up and Keith threw them out there and we connected for touchdowns. It’s been fun being on my new home field, and we won the game. We won the game, that’s the most important thing.” The East team got on the board first with the 61-yard TD pass with 2:50 remaining in the first quarter. The West team then scored on a 21-yard pass from Mack Sovereign of Traverse City Central to Luke Capen of Ithaca. The East team, a 17-14 winner in the overall series, scored the next three times on the long passes by Moore sandwiched around a 27-yard field goal by Aaron Berthet of Utica Ford with no time remaining on the halftime clock. The West scored one more time, at the 11:46 mark of the fourth quarter, when Sovereign connected for 31 yards with Mike Weeks of Cadillac. A late TD for the East came on an end-around run of 10 yards by Dearborn Fordson’s Rabeah Beydoun with 1:20 left in the game. “This was fun, a great experience, and humbling too, being around players this good,” Moore said. “So this was a good experience. It helped me look at what I’ll be seeing at the next level, so that helped me.” Mike Keith of Warren De La Salle and Dylan Neff of Manchester led the East with six tackles each. The West had three defenders match that number: Anthony Zettle of Ogemaw Heights, Colin Wilson of St. Johns and Desmond Morgan of West Ottawa.
