NBC’s riveting cop drama

 Hollywood, CA -- As cop shows go “Southland” is dramatic, moving and hardcore, but that’s what you expect from this type of program. But what makes this drama stand out is the fact that it’s about the underbelly of Los Angeles and the street crimes we’re all too familiar with. And in some indirect way we’ll get an inside look at how Los Angeles police handle those devastating crimes, along with the sacrifices some officers make. It’s one of those dramas that is close to home and very believable making it worth watching.

Marcia Ann Gillespie, Rosa Johnson Butler, and Richard A. Long, foreword by Oprah Winfrey

Life, they say, is meant to be enjoyed. Nobody ever looked back on their life and wished they had worked an extra day. Carpe diem. Never stop looking for opportunity and never stop having fun.
Chances are, your heroes took all of the above to heart. Their exuberance for life and their zest for experience are two traits that made them who they are.

words and paintings by Kadir Nelson

 Every year about this time, you begin to think maybe you don’t want to grow up to be a rock star or a hip-hop singer. Forget about programming computers or making the next great video game.
About this time - when the weather gets warm and bats come out - your thoughts turn to baseball. This year, you’ll hit one out of the park. You’ll hear cheers as you round the bases. Some day, you’ll be a star.

Crazy mad action!

 Hollywood, CA -- Wow. Usually the fourth installment of a popular movie is a dog. But “Fast & Furious” lives up to its reputation that began more than nine years ago. It’s fast, real fast. And it’s furious, I mean its mean, with a lot of twists and turns. In other words, it’s more than just a movie about fast cars and the people who love to drive them.
