Answer: Africa (this one wasn't hard.. I hope). Specifically Nigeria. They rioted in Lagos yesterday, the largest city in Nigeria, following the election results. The angry Nigerians believed that the election was rigged, following the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan. (Is that his real name??)
News like this make me feel thankful that our election system works and does not create conflict. Hmm...what about Bush v Gore? Scratch that. Our election system sort of works...some of the time..maybe, and I am happy that the results do not cause riots in the streets and brutal violence. Instead we wait for sporting events to riot. Cops had to ruin the fun.
The issues in Africa and Nigeria today are serious and unfortunate. More info here about Nigeria from respected news sources: CNN and The New York Times.
Carl Crawford. The highest paid outfielder ever (7 yr/$142 million). ESPN has segment tonight on the Red Sox's newest "big acquisition" and his rise to fame from nothing. While Crawford has not had an ideal start to his Red Sox career, there is no arguing with his success over the past decade. This guy is a remarkable athlete. Recruited to play football (Nebraska), basketball (UCLA), and baseball, he was drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays out of high school. Crawford is a natural talent. Get to know the newest Sox player tonight.
I am not one to preach on this issue. I am the first to admit that I was born calf-less. There just not there. I am confident that the reason I'm not a Division One athlete is my lack of calves. Forget 90% of Lax is in the Flow. Yes flow is needed, but 60% is in the calves, 15% is in the forearms, and the rest is a combination of tilt, swag, and your warm-up jams.
Anyways, now that it's warming up outside, and summer seems just around the corner, its time to pump your calfs to the max. When you see a bro sporting a couple of beefy pistons its impressive. It''s okay to show 'em off, you should. Flaunt them if you got them.
Nothing is good about this pic Solid Definition When you hit the gym, make the calves a staple of your workout. Hit the chest, bi's, tri's, and calves. The traditional calf-raise is an easy go-to, but if your feeling like you got a little extra left in the tank, expand your repertoire with the partner calf press.
Stay focused on the prize, and sport the shorts and mid-calves with swagger this year.
Tough match up here. Both are celebrities clearly off the wall. I gotta go with Ke$ha here as the strangest of them all. More to come on her. But seriously, Mike Tyson is a vegan now? I guess he got tired of meat, surprising for a guy who likes to bite people's ears off.
