Thank God no Tsunami hit Crete.. Where there is very little higher ground

Since the disastrous earthquake in Japan that led to a triple crisis struck on March 11th, it seems our world has seen a whole string of earthquakes all across the globe.  The latest in this line of temblors struck on the southern Greek island of Crete, with reports showing the quake was felt as far as Turkey and Egypt

The quake had a preliminary magnitude of 6.2 and struck off the southern coast of Crete at 4:29 p.m. (1329 GMT, 8:29 EDT), the Athens Geological Institute and the German Research Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany, said. The U.S. Geological Survey gave a slightly lower preliminary magnitude of 5.9. Magnitudes recorded by geological institutes often differ.

Local authorities said there were no immediate reports of damage or injury but with this constant string of disasters, I’m pretty sure the citizens of Crete were quite frightened of any impending possibilities of Tsunami heading their way.

And after the disaster in Japan, it’s no wonder many conspiracy theorists are wondering where the source of all this is coming from.

You Mean Snooki Aint Worth More Than Toni Morrison??

Students at Rutgers University took to their Twitter pages to express their disdain over the school’s choice to pay Snooki $32,000 for a recent appearance to speak to their student body… a whole $2,000 more than Nobel -prize winning author Toni Morrison.  The school defended their decision noting that the student body as a whole chooses who they want to appear to speak for educational and entertainment purposes, and Snooki was their entertainers choice of the hour.

Snooki spoke to a sold out audience, so I guess when it comes to simple principals of supply and demand, they may have made the right decision as based around sheer business motives.  And while we seem to be in a generation that doesn’t like to read novels very often, they definitely like to see a little T&A…

Maybe that’s why they paid her so much more

Jalen Rose And Alissa Milano look up tabloid headlines... Hopefully not Jalen's

Jalen Rose has been pulled off the air at ESPN due to his recent DUI controversy. To the credit of ESPN, it seems they’re more peeved about the fact that he waited nearly three weeks to tell his employers about his DUI, than the actual DUI itself.

Jalen was arrested on March 11th, 2011 (a disastrous day for quite a few), when Jalen lost control of his vehicle on an icy road and crashed.  He later stated that he regrets getting behind the wheel, as he thought he had the ability to properly operate his vehicle, but a blood alcohol test performed by local authorities proved otherwise.

Let’s hope that this issue can be resolved soon, because Jalen is a great guy, and everyone makes mistakes.  It’s unfortunate that this event occurred as he was in his hometown to open his “Jalen Rose Leadership Academy” to help under-privileged teens with college preparatory experience.  Let it be known that Jalen HAS NOT been terminated from his position, but merely pulled off the air as ESPN feels their integrity has been compromised with the situation.  In addition, one would have to ask, what would the outcome have been had Jalen disclosed the arrest to ESPN at the time of the incident… Hmmm…
