“Finding Their Feet Through Soccer“, from Today’s Gainesville Sun:
Elijah Thomas always had a thing for soccer. But with cerebral palsy that keeps him mostly in a wheelchair, the 11-year-old never had the opportunity until now. On a recent sweltering evening Elijah — with the help of some University of Florida volunteers — kicked ball after ball into a goal.
…”This is all he wants to do now,” said his grandmother and guardian, Kathy Thomas. “This is his favorite thing. He gets so excited that you’d think he would fall asleep on the way home, but all the way home he keeps thanking me.”…
- Man, this is what it’s all about; a little volunteering and helping some kids get their aggressions and kicks out on the field and having a great time.

Just got this interesting tidbit sent in by Matsuo and thought it needed to be shared.
Universal Music Group pulled her song off the trailer of their new film Pineapple Express… is this the start of the end of MIA’s music career in the US?
Rumor has it that Canada is strongly considering banning MIA from entering the country due to her possible terrorist connections.

Maya Arulpragasam is a Sri Lankan ethnic Tamil who spent much of her childhood in England. Her estranged father is credited as a cofounder of a militant pro-Tamil group EROS, which, in turn, was once linked to the Tamil Tigers. The Tigers have been labeled a terrorist group by many countries, including the United States.
From comment poster RLM, “PLEASE NOTE that the song, Paper Planes, isn’t about terrorism, it is a sarcastic jab at her inability to obtain a visa during the recording of Kala, and how some Americans views immigrants as drug dealers, murderers, etc. Also her estranged father is no longer active. ARULAR is more of a concept album about the civil war in Sri Lanka, about the images she saw while visiting, etc.”

We weren’t bullshitting you about China having cheerleaders for the 2008 Summer Olympics. (A little on the ChivaGirl part) But 4 New England Patriot Cheerleaders went over to China to teach the future eye candy how to drop it like it’s hot, NFL style. So what if they made a little extra coin doing an appearance or two? Check out the Howard the Duck on this guy in front of us!
