smell jersey : state of emergency

N.J. Gov. Chris Christie signed a state of emergency declaration on Thursday ahead of the incoming hurricane.

"We have to be prepared," Christie said during a news conference from the State Police Regional Operations Center in Ewing, adding that this is not a "cry wolf" situation.

The declaration allowed him to activate 6,000 members of the National Guard. The governor says Irene would have a "severe" impact on the Garden State.

"We are urging residents not to go to the shore this weekend," Christie said. (via)

daily ri ri

from gawker :

Hustler claims to have a sex tape starring Rihanna and rapper J. Cole. "We have seen it and we do not know what we are going to do with it yet." So either they aren't sure it's actually her (Ri doesn't believe it. She has the best reactions to sex scandals), or they're still negotiating a price, or releasing the sex tape would be legally dicey (age of consent? stolen property? copyright issues?), or they are concerned about the long-term effects of high-profile acts of female sexual disempowerment through the nonconsensual release of starlet-driven sex tapes into a society slut-shaming misogyny. Hahahahaha except not the last one. Nah, probably just a legal issue.

who is J.Cole? Is he part of J.Crew? Don't forget to watch the MTV VMAs this weekend!

punished.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The N.C.A.A. said Wednesday that it wanted to send a clear message by handing Bruce Pearl, the former Tennessee basketball coach, a three-year show-cause penalty: Coaches are responsible for their programs.

It will now be harder for Pearl to get another college job anytime soon. He is prohibited from recruiting for the next three years, and a university would have to persuade the N.C.A.A. to have that penalty removed if it hired him.

The N.C.A.A. punished Pearl for lying to investigators about improperly hosting recruits at his home and urging others to do the same. The former Pearl assistants Tony Jones, Jason Shay and Steve Forbes face the same sanctions for their roles in misleading the N.C.A.A., except they were given one-year show-cause penalties.

Tennessee will not face any sanctions beyond those it imposed in response to a two-year investigation into recruiting by Pearl’s program and by the football program under Lane Kiffin, the coach at the time. (via)
