Joell Ortiz Continues Battle With E1 Entertainment
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010JoellOrtiz E1 is f**king cockblocking us from doing something monumental for our fans and our careers. I don't give a f**k who gets mad. It's the truth.
As reported earlier, ¼ of Slaughterhoouse, Joell Ortiz, has become very vocal as it pertains to his situation with his record label, E1 Entertainment.
Making claims that the label wanted Ortiz to build his buzz through creating a beef, now the Brooklyn Bomber is stating that the label is holding him back from getting his business, along with that of Slaughterhouse, underway.
As a result, it seems like his sophomore album Free Agent, might not be handled by the label formerly known as Koch if things continue heading in the downward spiral.

Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010A jury reached a guilty verdict for William Page, a Pittsburgh man that molested her 23-month-old daughter and then left her outside in the snow to freeze to death.
In February of 2007 jurors say Page sexually assaulted his 23-month-old toddler Nyia Page. After improperly touching the child they say he became irate that she kept taking her diaper off and he left her outside in freezing cold temperatures where she died.
The child died from exposure and hypothermia, after being outside for more than 24 hours.
William Page has been convicted of first degree homicide, kidnapping, aggravated indecent assault and giving false reports to law enforcement.
There is also an additional assault charge pending against him where a 9-year-old boy says the man touched him inappropriately from the outside of his pajama pants.
If the jury cannot reach a unanimous decision for the death penalty, Page will be given life in prison.

Blind People Driving Could Become A Reality
Tuesday, March 23rd, 2010Imagine if you were in traffic and noticed the car next to you was being operated by someone blind. Thanks to some undergrads from Virginia Tech's Robotics and Mechanisms Laboratory, it will soon be a reality.
After being the only academic institution to answer the challenge proposed by the National Federation of the Blind's Jernigan Institute, in 2006, a group of undergrads from Virginia Tech received a $3,000 grant to start the partnership which evolved into the Blind Driver Challenge (BDC).
The crew started the initiative by taking an all-terrain dune buggy and transforming it into a semi-autonomous vehicle. The car is equipped with laser range finding, voice and sensory technology.
How does the vehicle work? The steering wheel is hooked up to a distance monitor that gathers information from laser range finders. Voice software is used to direct the driver every second on exactly how far to turn the steering wheel.
The Virginia Tech "Blind Driver Challenge" : Dennis Hong, faculty adviser, and student team members Danny Raynes, Matthew Dowden, Laura Degitz, Kimberly Wenger and Matthew Becker
For example, the monitor will tell the driver "turn left three clicks." As the driver does that, the monitor makes three clicking noises. A vibrating vest provides cues to follow when accelerating and decelerating. The vest will vibrate in various spots--the back, abdominal area and the shoulders--to relay a variety of commands. When a driver needs to "Hit the brakes!" the entire vest will vibrate to a fare-thee-well!
To implement the BDC system, the vehicle was taken around Virginia Tech's parking lot and navigated through a closed course defined by traffic cones--maxing out at a speed of about 20 mph.
The BDC team hopes, that the driving event will increase the awareness of blind drivers across the country and work to break stereotypes of the abilities of the blind.
Currently, plans are on the way to implement the BDC system into a Ford Escape Hybrid SUV. There are 13 students working diligently to re-create the vehicle, so that numerous blind motorists could drive from Baltimore, MD. to Orlando, FL. in May 2011 for the National Federation of the Blind's National Convention with intermittent stops for fundraising events and media showings.
