'Take the Money and Run': Someone actually cracks under the fake pressure

So the premise of "Take the Money and Run" is that a pair of people get a briefcase with $100,000 inside. They have an hour to hide it anywhere in their city. Then some real investigators have 48 hours to find the money.

If they find it, the investigators keep it. If it stays hidden, the pair keeps it. The rules of the investigation are that the investigators get access to the pair's cellphones, any receipts they acquire during the hiding period and the GPS coordinates from their vehicle.

The premiere pair were the Bustamante brothers Raul and Paul in San Francisco. They drove around to a bunch of locations, called a variety of people as decoys and ultimately buried the briefcase in Lafayette Park.

After the hide the money, the investigators treat this as a real investigation, which actually surprises me. They decide that Raul is the Alpha and Paul is the weak link, which turns out to be totally true. Paul is a terrible, terrible liar and he's getting so nervous. Dude, relax! This isn't real.

Then the investigators call the guys' mom and she just gives up the third brother's address. The investigator straight-up says, "Paul and Raul can't come to the phone, I'm calling for them. They want to go visit their brother Rob for his birthday, but they don't know his address" and she just gives it up. You're a fortress, mom. Well done.

Meanwhile, the other investigators are playing Paul like a violin. He's a weak-ass mama's boy and he is crumbling on the fake heist TV show. Nut up, dude! Get it together. Seriously, I hope this guy watches this and feels deeply shamed.

He absolutely cracks under the "pressure" because he "wants to go home." It's 48 HOURS! For $100,000! And you have like 18 hours left! What is wrong with this guy? He now straight-up just tells them where the case is. W.T.F.?!

This is embarrassing. The investigators find the case with 17 hours to go. Because stupid Paul gave them up so he could go back to his mama's house.

The Weather Channel

The outgoing Israeli embassador to the United Nations is reported to have quipped to a reporter, (paraphrasing and adding my own commentary…)

‘When Jews kill Muslims it’s a massacre (even after it is discovered that it never took place such as in Jenin)

‘When Christians kill Muslims it is a crusade’ (even after it is discovered that it was a defensive action against an invading and hostile Islam like, well like the crusades)

‘But when Muslims kill Muslims it is the weather channel’ (like we see every day and nearly everywhere Muslims represent enough of the population to act with impunity or with complicity of a Muslim law enforcement. Contemporary Syria or Pakistan is one example that manages to stay off of our TV sets while we focus on the deluded rantings of an extreme narcissist because he fits a relativist narrative, and that, even though he didn’t kill any Muslims, yet is being used as an example of how evil ‘our side’ is.

Have a look at some of these videos recently smuggled out of Syria. Then, have another look at Bill Whittle’s excellent video on ‘The Narrative’. A clip that does more to explain where and why the great eye of TV media shines than does Lord of the Rings for Sauroman.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt: Broke!

Once the loudest, proudest fame whores around, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag lived a fake life for the sake of cameras for years and reaped the benefits.

Nowadays, however, things are a bit different.

They’re broke and living in a beach house in Santa Barbara owned by his folks, who let them live there rent-free. Few other family members speak to them.

Heidi Montag’s plastic surgery binge has marred her face and body. They are largely unemployable, both on camera and off, victims of their own success.

Three short years ago, they were at the top of their game with The Hills, working every lever of the celebrity industrial-machine to their advantage.

Speidi. One word said it all. You knew them. You hated them. But you ate up their antics and the celeb culture they embodied. They knew it. Worked it.

But things turned dark as The Hills wound down. By the end of 2009, their lives grew increasingly insane ... not to mention financially unsustainable.

Lavish spending on useless crap - cars, clothes, her music career - killed them.

“We were getting paid to be people we weren’t for so long that there’s no line,” Spencer Pratt says. “What we learned is, you can be too famous.”

New Jersey Reaches Out to Unclaimed Money Owners

More that 1.3 million residents of New Jersey have unclaimed money which is still waiting to be claimed. A WCBS news report says 200,000 Garden State dwellers have NJ unclaimed money from property tax refunds worth a whopping $200 million. This is quite startling considering the fact that the New Jersey residents pay some of the highest property taxes in the country, as much as twice the amount paid by residents in the other states.

The government is trying all the ways in order to unite the owners of the lost funds with their unclaimed money. It is trying to reach out to the New Jersey unclaimed money owners through every available media outlet and through various campaigns which are run through the print media, state sponsored fair and through the electronic media.

Aside from tax rebates, New Jersey unclaimed money comes from comes from numerous other sources like forgotten bank accounts, uncashed salary checks, insurance benefits, stocks and bonds that have been languishing, unused gift checks, and even items from abandoned safe deposit boxes. New Jersey is also home to a lot of foreign and immigrant workers. This diverse workforce usually work on numerous jobs and have had several addresses and they tend to lose track of mailed checks or notices from banks and financial institutions.

Businesses and companies that haven’t located the owners of lost money and property after a ‘dormancy period’ have to hand the the unclaimed money over to the State for ‘safekeeping’ as stipulated in the National Unclaimed Property Law. The citizens’ lost money is kept in the State Treasury until the rightful owners come around to file a claim. The State also holds outreach programs to try to let people know about New Jersey unclaimed funds. Last year, the NJ State Treasury unclaimed property advertising campaign reunited some 36,000 residents with $85 million of their missing money.

Considering the economic slump the country is passing through, the unclaimed funds worth more than $40 billion lying in states is a big drain on the government, considering the fact that they have to be maintained and safe guarded unless the owners of these funds are found. Fact is, not enough people are checking for unclaimed funds because most Americans aren’t even aware they might have state unclaimed property in their name.

Serena Williams gets emotional and cries after win at Wimbledon

Serena Williams called the past year disastrous.

Rewind back to the constant nagging foot problems which led to the tennis star undergoing surgery which later led to a life-threatening blood clot in her lungs. News that Serena Williams suffered from a pulmonary embolism was the final blow to Serena Williams, who suffered a series of medical setbacks since winning Wimbledon in 2010.

The 13-time Grand Slam champion was expected to miss up to a year so you can understand why Serena Williams was reduced to tears after defeating France’s Aravane Rezai in the first round of Wimbledon.

“I usually don’t cry…but it’s just been so hard,” Serena Williams told reporters covering the tournament. “I never dreamt I would be here right now. And then to win. I just wanted to win at least one match here.”

“It’s been a disaster year, but I’ve been praying,” Williams said. “To be able to come back at Wimbledon is pretty awesome. I didn’t expect to play. And I didn’t expect to even do anything. So I’m just excited. I’ve never cried with joy for anything.”

Women’s sports are notoriously under covered by sports sections, but this is truly one of the best stories going on this summer. Serena Williams rebounding from a near life-threatening and career-threatening series of medical issues is equally as interesting as Tiger Woods attempting to come back from his injuries.

Both can make history, both have dominated their sports from a competitive and cultural perspective, both make headlines for their lives outside of their respective sports — of course Tiger’s headlines haven’t always been so positive.
