HOT live music at Super Thursday!
He did it well, too, pumping out a tight set that turned the massive crowd here into a sea of bouncing heads. Hip-hop/R&B group Next took the stage after Pokafase. They pretty much walked off the red carpet and onto the stage. Joey Fatone just walked by me. Anyway, Next sounded impeccable. Their smooth groove was perfect for slow dancing in this brisk weather.

LAFAYETTE, Tenn. (AP) -- Residents in five Southern states tried to salvage what they could Wednesday from homes reduced to piles of debris, a day after the deadliest cluster of tornadoes in nearly a decade tore through the region, snapping trees and crumpling homes. At least 50 people were dead.
Rescue crews, some with the help of the National Guard, went door-to-door looking for more victims. Dozens of twisters were reported as the storms swept through Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama.

The United States and the Environment: Laggard or Leader?
If there is one country that bears the most responsibility for the lack of progress on international environmental issues, it is the United States.
--Gus Speth, Red Sky at Dawn[1] Sadly, our nation is also at present the biggest engine of ecological destruction on Earth, the chief (but by no means only) force keeping humanity on collision course with the natural world.
--Paul and Anne Ehrlich, One with Nineveh[2] U.S. Given Poor Marks on the Environment
--New York Times headline, January 23, 2008 To borrow the blunt language of Generation X and the "Millennials," does the United States suck when it comes to the environment? Contrary to the perception expressed in the epigraphs above, the answer turns out to be a resounding No; the United States remains the world's environmental leader and is likely to continue as such.
