The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback is now at the U.S. Bureau of Prisons minimum security facility in Leavenworth, his attorney, Billy Martin, said.
"Mr. Vick hopes to participate in programs offered at that facility, including the Bureau of Prisons drug treatment program," Martin said in a statement...More?

Whole lot of diversity goin' on
Universities today are full of people who not only embrace diversity but who also talk a lot (endlessly?) about their zeal for social inclusion, their desire for a more democratic culture and a bigger public sphere. Often, they also decry the fact that "social capital" is eroding and the bonds of community are loosening. These people ought to get out more often, or at least away from the university, perhaps by attending a diverse, inclusive, democratic event in the "squared circle," if not the public sphere. That is to say, they should take in an event like "RAW LIVE" presented by the WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment to the uninitiated)...I mean, you've gotta love the way a snobbish aristocratic "heel" (albeit a massive one) such as Hunter Hearst Helmsley could be transformed into the monstrous and (now) monstrously popular "face" known as Triple H...More?

All proceeds go to the Nova Scotia burn treatment society, which uses the money to help pay for treatments and allow children with burns to attend a summer camp with doctors and nurses available...More?
