SAGINAW, Mich. - With a winning bid of just $1.75, a Chicago woman has won an auction for an abandoned home in Saginaw. Joanne Smith, 30, recently was the top bidder for the home during an auction on eBay, The Saginaw News reported. Her bid was one of eight for the home.
"I am going to try and sell it," she told the newspaper. "I don't have any plans to move to Saginaw."
Smith said she hasn't seen the property or visited Saginaw, which has been hard-hit by economic troubles in recent years.
There's a notice on the door of the home saying a foreclosure hearing is pending, the newspaper said. She must pay about $850 in back taxes and yard cleanup costs.
The Saginaw News said it could not reach the seller, Southern Investments LLC, for comment.

Make sure you wish my boys congrats. And come out and see us when were on the road. (Holler @ the merch girl! Haha)!!!!!!!!!
jealousy drives people to try and drag others down. pointing out things
they wish they had and turning them into flaws. i wish some people
could just be content with their own lives and who they are, rather
than obsessing over others. i am sick of people trying to turn my life
into a negative because they can't seem to be satisfied with their own
life. life is too short. you take what you can get, and work with it.
worry about what you are doing and not everyone around you. if you
start to be consumed with what everyone around you is doing, then that
is what is going to drag you down.
With the summer festival season winding down, MSN Music offers a coach potato's alternative: Creating your own endless summer of live excitement through worthy DVD features that recapture great festivals.
By Michael Shilling Special to MSN Music
Since at least the 1960s, music festivals have held a unique spot in popular culture, acting simultaneously as a rite of summer and an occasion to gain a snapshot of the musical trends and acts that define a time. The ascension of digital video has given new life (both sonic and visual) to the films that have captured these varied harmonic convergences. To wit, here's a list of some essential titles across a variety of decades and genres.
Captured on film by D.A. Pennebaker, the Monterey International Pop Music Festival was held on June 16-18, 1967, in the seaside California town of Monterey, and featured the Who, Jimi Hendrix, the Mamas and the Papas, and Otis Redding. With a naturalistic style, "Monterey Pop" captures the dawning of the Summer of Love, and is the film most likely to make your aging baby-boomer parents get all misty-eyed. Nostalgia aside, the performances by one legend after the other are utterly stunning, all the more so considering the primitive stage technology of the era.
Since 1970, the Glastonbury Festival, located in southwestern England, has slowly become the most important annual event for British music fans. Take a look at the roster of English rock over the past 35 years, and pretty much every act on the list has played Glastonbury. Twice. Directed by MTV video pioneer Julien Temple, "Glastonbury" acts as a loose history of the festival, but focuses on the years of 2002-2005. Temple combines footage by amateur filmmakers with his own, capturing the strange chaos of festival life, as well as performances by luminaries such as Radiohead, Morrissey, Primal Scream and Coldplay.
If one event is synonymous with "music festival," it is the hallowed Woodstock Arts and Music Festival, which took place in Bethel, N.Y., on Aug. 15-18, 1969. With acts such as Janis Joplin; the Grateful Dead; the Band; and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Woodstock was a watershed affair. To many, it signified the cultural zenith of the 1960s. Big postulations aside, the film, directed by Michael Wadleigh, shows that Woodstock was mainly about people coming together in the mud and rain to bask in some timeless music and get their groove on.
An annual world music festival in Mali, Festival in the Desert showcases performers of Tuareg music, which is particular to Saharan Africa, alongside a variety of Western acts. Documenting 2003's gathering, "Festival in the Desert" does not disappoint, with a lineup that spans the range of world music, such as Oumou Sangare, Ali Farka Toure, and Blackfire, alongside those you might be more familiar with, such as Robert Plant. Accentuated by the stark beauty of the Sahara, the eclectic performances take on an otherworldly, shimmering effect.
Anarchic in style, "Urgh! A Music War" is a documentary featuring a who's who of the music world's new wave uber-cool at the turn of the '80s. There's no narration; instead we get one high-voltage performance after the next from bands such as the Police, XTC and OMD, as well as Gary Numan, Dead Kennedys, and the Fleshtones in what serves as a virtual festival for that era. Produced by Miles Copeland and filmed at shows in America, the United States, and France, "Urgh!" provides a fascinating and frantic musical time capsule of the period between LSD and R.E.M.
Directed by Mel Stuart, "Wattstax" documents the Watts Summer Music Festival, which took place at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Aug. 30, 1972. Featuring performances by Isaac Hayes, Rufus Thomas and Albert King, the film is politically charged, contrasting footage of the show with scenes of the Watts section of Los Angeles, and discussions regarding the struggle of black Americans to achieve equality. To that end, Jesse Jackson makes a moving appearance, leading the packed arena in a reading of the poem, "I Am Somebody." With stirring moments throughout, "Wattstax" is a jewel.
Documenting what might have been the biggest traveling rock music festival, "Festival Express" captures a regular caravan of pop royalty in 1970 as they shoot across Canada by train. The show hit cities across the Great White North, and the film's performances, including the Grateful Dead, Delaney and Bonnie, and Buddy Guy, are interspersed with recent interviews of those who rode the rails on this short, strange trip. So incendiary was the idea of itinerant rock stars that the mayors of Montreal and Vancouver canceled two of the five shows. Far out!
From 1968 to 1970, the Isle of Wight, located three miles off England's southern coast, hosted a huge music festival. "Message to Love" captures the goings-on at the 1970 show, and features a number of acts, such as the Doors, Free, and Jethro Tull, who had missed out on playing Woodstock the year before. But, unlike at Woodstock, all was not copacetic: Kris Kristofferson was booed off the stage, the crowds were unruly, and gate-crashing was rampant. This intense film captures the unrest of an event, and a generation, at a breaking point.
Since its 1999 inception, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, held annually in the California desert town of Indio, has rapidly become the American counterpart to Britain's Glastonbury. Directed by Drew Thomas, "Coachella" rounds up the finest performances from the preceeding six years, and includes stunning footage of the acts (Radiohead, the White Stripes, the Flaming Lips) that together define the leading edge of popular music. At the same time, the film captures the unique manner in which the festival combines different subcultures, from Burning Man modern primitives to urban hip-hopsters, into one shining youth tableau.

LOS ANGELES -- (MyFox National) President George W. Bush has called on senators Barack Obama and John McCain and legislative leaders to approve a $700 billion financial industry bailout plan that he feels is the best plan to avert "a long and painful recession."
And certainly there are many versions of this plan circulating in Congress, but the general public has their own thoughts on what one could do with a check that carries 11 zeroes. Granted they won't likely solve the crisis on Wall Street or necessarily boost the economy, but they are fun to consider.
Here's a sampling of some of the more outlandish suggestions across the web:
2,000 McDonalds apple pies for every American
6.6 billion barrels of oil
538 new Yankee Stadiums
College tuition for 4.4 million Americans
Free broadband access for every American for 20 years
35 million 8 GB iPhones
3.5 million 52-inch Sharp Aquos HDTVs
1.3 billion Subway $5 foot-long subs
It seems that everyone has an idea on how to fix the economy. Here are some you may not have heard.
Who's Saying What?
Les Hull says: "My pay has gone down from 7 years ago, (just like many others) and they want to pay me less this coming year. Correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t everything gone up? This is why we are having this problem. There are 300 million or so people in America. Why not give $1 million to each person, tax free. See what that would do for the economy."
Maureen says: "Why don’t they pay down everyone’s mortgage who makes under $250,000 or set an amount per mortgage to buy them down? That would make the paper good and pump much needed dollars into the economy and not in the hands of the banks. Of course there may be other money they require but at least the taxpayer would get a direct benefit."
Josh says: "Sure, the scale of this bailout points out how we could better spend taxpayer dollars, but a fat lot of good wimax in every home would do if the market's in shambles, the country's savings are depleted, and people are out on the street because their homes have been forclosed.
rwxiwantmybailout says: "Suggest they use the $700 billion to buy Mexico and some other mineral rich countries."
Networkworld user says: "We could build space elevators using carbon nanotubes, linked to a platform in geosynchronus orbit, and at an estimated $10 billion price tag, we could put one in every major city in the United States."

News
of the plane crash over the weekend that killed four people and
severely injured former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and noted
turntablist Adam Goldstein (aka DJ AM) serves as yet another sobering
reminder that in the ever-unpredictable world of celebrity culture,
fate can and often does play a significant hand.
This seems
especially true when it comes to pop music, which over the decades has
seen its fair share of unfortunate life-ending events specifically
related to air travel. Some of the most famous have occurred "in the
line of duty"--on the way to or from concerts, personal appearances,
photo/video shoots, etc.--a fact that not only has magnified the
tragedies for fans but also has frozen in time the lives of these stars
inside our collective memory banks.
For
example, in just a few months--February 3, 1959, to be exact--it'll be
the 50 th anniversary of what's generally considered the most
well-known of all music-associated plane crashes: the Clear Lake Iowa
accident that took the lives of rock and rollers Buddy Holly, Ritchie
Valens, and "Big Bopper" J.P. Richardson. Holly was only 22 and Valens
hadn't even turned 18 when they perished, and as Don McLean so aptly
put it in his song "American Pie," for anyone who grew up during rock's
Golden Age, it would always feel like "The Day The Music Died."
Meanwhile,
country music fans often point to the March 1963 Tennessee plane crash
that took away superstar Patsy Cline along with fellow performers Lloyd
"Cowboy" Copas and Harold "Hawkshaw" Hawkins as their own era-stamping
equivalent. And
soul music fans, not to mention music fans in general, all mourned the
loss of Otis Redding (and four members of his backing group the
Bar-Kays) after their plane went down near Madison Wisconsin on
December 10, 1967--ironically, mere days after Redding had recorded
what would be his classic posthumous hit, "Sittin' On The Dock of the
Bay."
Sometimes a plane crash can carry added symbolism. When
Swing Era bandleader Glenn Miller's plane disappeared on the way to
Paris for a scheduled performance for Allied troops fighting in Europe
in mid-December 1944, his death became a powerful emblem of American
patriotism during World War II. And when Southern rock group Lynyrd
Skynyrd's Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steven Gaines and backing
vocalist Cassie Gaines lost their lives in October 1977 in a crash near
Gillsburg Mississippi, it seemed that perhaps the band had had
premonitions: their latest album Street Survivors had just been released featuring an original cover (later changed) that depicted the group standing in flames, and was eerily highlighted by a song about death called "That Smell."
As
evidenced by the likes of singer-songwriters Jim Croce (1973) and John
Denver (1997), former teen idol Ricky Nelson (1985), hard rock
guitarist Randy Rhoads (1982), bluesman Stevie Ray Vaughan (1990),
and R&B vocalist Aaliyah (2001), musician-associated plane crash
deaths cut across all styles and genres. Thankfully, the names of
Travis Barker and DJ AM did not have to be added to this fateful list.
Officer: Ex-Blink 182 drummer in intense pain
09/24/2008 3:00 PM, AP Page Ivey
One of the first responders to a fiery South Carolina plane crash said Wednesday that a pair of musicians escaped the flaming wreckage by sliding down the wing.
"They said the plane went down. They didn't say how or if they knew," said Lt. Jason Shumpert of the South Congaree Police Department.
"Once it went down, they were able to slide down the wing of the plane,
and they jumped on each other to put fires on each other out and rolled
around on the ground."
Shumpert said he didn't know until later that the two badly burned men were former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and celebrity disc jockey DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein.
One of their doctors at a Georgia burn hospital said he expects them to
fully recover from their second- and third-degree burns.
A video of the Friday night crash scene shot from Shumpert's police car
shows an inferno next to the road, with screams ringing out above the
din of sirens of ambulances and fire trucks. Shumpert said the
screaming voice belonged to Barker, who was trembling and seemed to be
in intense pain as he sat on the sidewalk, waiting for medical help to
arrive.
"Travis, you could tell he was in pain," Shumpert said. "He
just kept saying: 'That's my friends in the plane, that's my friends in
the plane.'"
Pilot Sarah Lemmon, 31, of Anaheim Hills, Calif., and co-pilot James Bland, 52, of Carlsbad, Calif., died of smoke inhalation and burns within minutes of the crash. A South Carolina coroner has said Chris Baker, 29, of Studio City, Calif., and Charles Still, 25, of Los Angeles, close friends of the musicians, died on impact.
Barker, 32, was one of the more colorful members of the multiplatinum-selling punk rock band Blink-182. DJ AM is a popular DJ who was also a tabloid favorite for some celebrity romances.
Officials with the National Transportation Safety Board have not said what caused the crash. A cockpit voice recorder
revealed that crew members thought a tire blew and tried to abort the
takeoff. The Learjet shot off the end of the runway, ripped through a
fence and crossed a highway before coming to rest, engulfed in flames.
NTSB officials, who have recovered pieces of tire from the runway,
planned to return to Washington on Thursday. Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Co., which made the tires, has said it is cooperating with the
investigation.
A spokesman for a clothing company Barker owns
said Tuesday the drummer had been through several surgeries and was
trying to keep an upbeat attitude. Regardless of what caused the crash,
Shumpert said both men are lucky to be alive.
"It was divine
intervention that they got out," he said. "They should be commended for
being able to get out and keep their heads together."

LONDON, England (AP) -- The Church of England owes Charles Darwin an apology for its hostile 19th-century reaction to the naturalist's theory of evolution, a cleric wrote on an Anglican Web site launched Monday.
Charles Darwin's theory that species evolve by natural selection brought him into conflict with the church.
The Rev. Malcolm Brown, who heads the church's public affairs department, issued the statement to mark Darwin's bicentenary and the 150th anniversary of the seminal work "On the Origin of Species," both of which fall next year.
Brown said the Church of England should say it is sorry for misunderstanding him at the time he released his findings and, "by getting our first reaction wrong, encouraging others to misunderstand (Darwin) still."
The Church of England said Brown's statement reflected its position on Darwin but did not constitute an official apology.
The church's stance sets it apart from fundamentalist Christians, who believe evolutionary theory is incompatible with the biblical story of the Earth's creation.
Darwin was born into the Church of England, educated at a church boarding school and trained to become an Anglican priest.
However, his theory that species evolve over generations through a process of natural selection brought him into conflict with the church.
The Church of England did not take an official stance against Darwin's theories, but many senior Anglicans reacted with hostility to his ideas, arguing against them at public debates.
At an Oxford University debate in 1860, the bishop of Oxford, Samuel Wilberforce, famously asked scientist Thomas Huxley whether it was through his grandfather or his grandmother that he claimed to be descended from a monkey. Critics included the Rev. John Stevens Henslow and Adam Sedgwick, both scientists who had taught Darwin at Cambridge. Sedgwick wrote that he found some of Darwin's ideas "utterly false and grievously mischievous."
Brown said that from a modern perspective, it was hard to avoid the thought that the reaction against Darwin was based on what would now be called the "yuck factor ... when he proposed a lineage from apes to humans."
Brown called for a "rapprochement" between Christianity and Darwinism.
The bishop of Swindon, Lee Rayfield, who also is an immunologist, said religion and science were not mutually exclusive.
He said he opposed Christians for whom "evolution is equated with atheism" as well as Darwinists who felt ideas about evolution "completely undermine any kind of credibility for God."
"That's completely wrong," he told British Broadcasting Corp. radio. "It's a false polarization."
This is not the first time a cleric or a church has been pressed to apologize for past actions. In 1992, Pope John Paul II said the Roman Catholic Church was wrong to condemn astronomer Galileo Galilei for maintaining that the Earth is not the center of the universe.
The Church of England said sorry two years ago for its role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Still, a descendant of Darwin's said the Anglicans' latest bout of soul-searching served little purpose.
"Why bother?" the scientist's great-great-grandson Andrew Darwin was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail newspaper. "When an apology is made after 200 years, it's not so much to right a wrong, but to make the person or organization making the apology feel better."

After my long, unnecessary, drama-filled night, I so needed a shower before bed.
(Personally, I'm a bath fan, but it was 1230 at night....)
So, all those shenanigans were done and I go to blowdry my hair (of which I've finally accepted my natural dark color) and convinced myself somehow there was someone standing behind me.
(Use this time to insert a pedobear behind me while I stare at the beauty that is Nick Jonas)
While this is totally obviously not ture, as I was staing into a mirror, I was all *gasp* vamipres don't HAVE a reflection! So then I was convinced for a good 3 minutes there was a blood sucking dude behind me.
*shrug*
My brain needs to shut off
And I need to stop watching so many stupid vampire things. Ugh.
(LOS ANGELES) Police say they have arrested Kanye West at Los Angeles International Airport on suspicion of vandalism after an altercation with a photographer.
An airport spokesman says police also arrested West's bodyguard shortly before 8 a.m. on Thursday.
Airport spokesman Marshall Lowe says early reports are that West got into an altercation with a commercial photographer and a camera valued at more than $10,000 was broken.
The incident happened before West and his manager, who was not identified, cleared a security screening at the airport.
Lowe says police are continuing to interview witnesses and West may be booked later this morning.
(This version CORRECTS that West's bodyguard, not manager, was arrested, too.)

Kanye West Arrested At Los Angeles Airport After Scuffle With Paparazzi
Rapper, bodyguard both charged with felony vandalism; bodyguard also charged with battery.
By Chris Harris
Kanye West and his bodyguard were arrested Thursday morning (September 11) by Los Angeles International Airport police near the American Airlines terminal, a spokesperson for the airport's public relations office confirmed to MTV News.
Both were charged with felony vandalism, and West's bodyguard was also charged with battery. The spokesperson confirmed that the incident involved paparazzi but did not provide further details; the bodyguard's name has not yet been disclosed. Both remained in police custody at press time.
TMZ.com reported Thursday that West was arrested after allegedly grabbing a camera that belonged to a member of the paparazzi and throwing it to the ground, smashing it. According to TMZ, the photographer approached the rapper and began taking pictures of him. West confronted him, grabbed his camera and hurled the camera to the ground.
Another paparazzo began videotaping the incident, according to TMZ, which prompted the rapper's bodyguard to grab that camera. A struggle followed, and the bodyguard allegedly threw that camera against the ground, damaging it. When West realized he'd been filmed, he reportedly instructed the cameraman to "gimme that f---ing tape."
At press time, representatives for West had not yet commented on the incident.
MTV News will have more on this developing story shortly.

Its true. They feel bad for her. I've seen the JoBros vid more on MTV then I have ever seen Brit's video on there. Its like the "world" and by "world" I mean MTV execs want her to save face from that shit she pulled last year. There is a reason Britney never won. She doesnt have nearly as much talent as any of the others. She lip-synced every performance she did, and was no where close to Christina's talent. Maybe MTV forgot that....
I think Kanye has lost his touch. Sorry. I just... I'm not into him like I used to be.
Now, Jonas Brothers Pic Spam because I need it Thanks
Hey lovers! Last year, Bree and I brought you a recap of all that was MTV VMAs
This year however, Bree is without the finer thing in life called cable-tv and is unable to watch.
So, I'm going at this alone. :( It's a bit sad, to be honest. Its like talking to yourself.
Bear with me, and my multiple personalities. =)
