This is funny, I remember Scared Straight in the 90s but this clip must have been shot in the mid 70s or early 80s. Peep the black guy going hard on those kids. lol they look scared as hell. If they made a 2010 scared straight, i think it would be the other way around. The teens now days are fearless and much harder. The teens would be yelling at the adults instead haha.

The deluxe edition will feature five songs from the original, five brand new songs as well as two remixes. In addition the Doggfather offers an accompanying mini-movie entitled “Malice N Wonderland”.

"Hollywood Freeway is Nation’s Worst Commute"

2010-01-31T14:19:00.000-08:00

The Daily Beast has consulted experts around the nation and come to the conclusion that our very own 101 Hollywood Freeway is the nation’s worst commute. An excerpt:

#1, "Hollywood Freeway, Los Angeles
Weekly hours of bottleneck congestion: 686
Worst bottleneck: Southbound, Vermont Avenue
Length of worst bottleneck: .64 mi
Weekly hours of congestion on worst bottleneck: 77
Speed of worst bottleneck when congested: 14 mph

The expert opinion: “I recall they would say things like it’s a 20-minute trip downtown on the Hollywood Freeway, recalls Metropolitan Transportation Authority chief executive Art Leahy on traffic when he was growing up in Los Angeles. “No one anticipated the congestion that would emerge.”.

Trayvon Robinson - Home Grown Dodger

2009-11-25T22:18:00.000-08:00

Trayvon Robinson is considered one of the most talented young players in the Dodgers’ farm system, but he’s unique in that he is one of the few who was born and raised in the city of LA. Trayvon grew up a Dodgers fan and is now hoping to become the next Dodger named Robinson to play for the big league club. MemoriesofKevinMalone.com has a brand new interview with Trayvon, below is an excerpt and a link:

People now have increased expectations of you, and some even want you to replace Manny Ramirez in 2011, does that kind of pressure affect you at all?

I don’t know. I mean, Manny Ramirez is a good player, and nobody should be saying that. I hope Dodgers fans wouldn’t want me to replace Manny Ramirez, but just be glad to have another Robinson in a Dodgers uniform (laughs).

I actually played with [Manny] when he came down to rehab, so that was fun, but to replace him is not something i’m thinking about (laughing). I’m just trying to get up there and play, you know? I’m just trying to get up there and be on a parade. I’m from [Los Angeles] so I want a parade.
