About 6 million of the Thursday night viewers were between the ages of 12 and 34 years of age, MTV said. MTV was impressed by this stating that they were pushing to attract a younger audience.

I have to say shame on them. Shame on MTV and Shame on the adults who watch and the parents of 12 year old kids who allow their children to watch.  Typically I do not put my onions into my articles as this is Faqhit which is about the the facts but this one gets me going.  I find it horrible that we think a show in which it’s glamorous to get belligerently drunk or for men to abuse women is called entertainment. 

The 28-year-old Roethlisberger, was suspended without pay for 6 regular season games after being accused of sexually assaulting a woman.  Charges have not been filed.

Roethlisberger was told to undergo a behavioral evaluation as part of his suspension and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell had said he would consider whether to reduce the suspension to four games.

Big Ben’s 6 year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers has been a huge success. Leading the Steelers to two Super Bowls.  Roethisberger’s life off of the field over the last few years has been more than questionable.

“The commissioner will continue to monitor Roethlisberger’s progress as he begins the next phase of his recommended plan and will meet with Roethlisberger again at the appropriate time,” the league said in a statement late on Thursday.

“There has been no decision on any modification to the length of Roethlisberger’s suspension.”

The commissioner made his decision based on reports and recommendations of NFL medical experts, the league said.

Steelers president Art Rooney said in a statement he welcomed Roethlisberger’s return.

“We look forward to having Ben rejoin his teammates on the practice field,” said Rooney.

Ben Roethlisberger Foundation

Roethlisberger started a foundation with the following mission statement: “The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation seeks to (a): provide support for police and fire departments throughout the U.S. with a particular emphasis on service dogs and (b): to enhance the quality of life for residents of Findlay, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.”

In 2005, Roethlisberger donated one game check to aid the tsunami relief fund.  He has also donated over $100,000 to fund police dogs in Pittsburgh.

They make your tendons work harder:  With there only being one little strap at the front of your foot, you end up gripping your toes causing stress on your tendons which can lead to tendentious.

They are spongy:  They are soft sponge that gives no support to your foot. You tend to walk flatter and harder which in turn causes arch and ankle pain.

Ankle Support: They offer no support to the ankle.  Summer time adds a lot more sprained ankles just from wearing flip flops.

No protection: Obviously having a completely open shoe leaves no protection from glass,  rocks or people. Thus the added cuts and bruises.

Back and Hip Problems:  one of the most important of the flip flop problems is that when wearing them you tend to take shorter steps and change your stride.  Which causes extreme back and hip pain.  As well as you may see some twinges and pains in other parts of your body such as your neck.

Judge Revel set bail at $100,000 and said Lindsay can post bail and remain free until the next court hearing, as long as she does the following:

- Drink no alcohol
- Wear a SCRAM bracelet
- Submit to random drug testing at least once a week

Lindsey’s Lawyer tells Judge Revel that there is no reason for drug testing.  Revel states that since Lohan was arrested in 2007 with cocaine charges it will be a requirement.  Judge Revel believes Lohan to have a serious drug and alcohol problem.  Lindsay’s lawyer did confirm that she had only completed 10 of her 13 required alcohol ed classes.  This i a violation of her probation, she can be jailed for 180 days.

2010.  Law and order being one of the most highly watched and highly rated shows iin television feels that it is time. There are no plans for

the spin offs such as Law and Order SVU or Criminal Intent to go anywhere at this time.  I have watched law and order for years and years,

from a kid in high school to a mom now. The show will truly be missed by myself and millions of others.  There has been no eason given as to

why the popular show will come to an end.
