Posted in: Today's ChiliMichigan State wasn’t just throwing everything it had at Memphis on Saturday, the Spartans were also battling one another.
Leading by 11 with 12:45 remaining in the game, a pair of Michigan State teammates started arguing with each other… with towels.
As the team huddled after Memphis called a timeout, tempers flared between Derrick Nix and Keith Appling.

LOS ANGELES, March 23 (Reuters) – Green slime spewed furiously at the Kids Choice Awards on Saturday, where “Twilight Saga” star Kristen Stewart and British boy band One Direction won two awards apiece.
Stewart, 22, escaped the slime but plunged her hands into the green goo, saying she “felt like I have finally found my kindergartner self,” as she accepted trophies for movie actress and favorite female butt kicker.
Organizers said more than 350 million votes were cast online in more than 20 categories, spanning film, television, books, music and sport for the stunt-filled annual award show on youth channel Nickelodeon.
Hosted by “Transformers” actor Josh Duhamel, who is married to singer Fergie, the show in Los Angeles featured performances by Pitbull and Christina Aguilera, as well as Ke$ha.
Johnny Depp and Katy Perry accepted orange blimp-shaped trophies for favorite female singer and movie actor respectively and both stars had words of wisdom for the audience of kids and young teens.
“This is such a cool award … stay safe, stay in school, don’t do drugs,” Perry told them. Depp said he was “truly honored and humbled. Thank you for what you are, which is the future.”
Selena Gomez, 20, the ex-girlfriend of pop star Justin Bieber, took the female TV actress award for her Disney Channel series “Wizards of Waverly Place,” even though the show came to an end more than a year ago.
Bieber, who is on tour in Europe, was voted favorite male singer and was among several stars who did not make it to accept their award in person.
No-shows included One Direction, who are also on tour and who won for favorite music group and song for “What Makes You Beautiful,” “X Factor” judge Simon Cowell (favorite villain), and Ross Lynch, 17, who was named favorite TV actor for Disney Channel’s pop star series “Austin & Ally.”
Sandra Bullock, Neil Patrick Harris, Duhamel, Pitbull, Nick Cannon, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and dozens of audience members got covered in slime gushing out from water cannons, presenter’s podiums, ceilings, and even the tail of a fake gymnastic horse.
Other awards went to Nickelodeon’s “Victorious” for top TV show, “The Hunger Games” for favorite movie, “Wreck-It Ralph” for top animated movie, and race car driver Danica Patrick and basketball player LeBron James for top athletes.
The Kids Choice Awards will be broadcast around the world in more than 25 languages, Nickelodeon said. (Reporting By Jill Serjeant; Editing by David Brunnstrom)

LaToya Ruby Frazier Photographs: ‘A Haunted Capital’ Captures Family Life In A Forgotten Industrial Town (PHOTOS)
Posted in: Today's ChiliLaToya Ruby Frazier has fierce ties to her roots. The artist grew up in Braddock, Pennsylvania — the site of one of America’s first steel mills.
In a new show at the Brooklyn Museum, “A Haunted Capital,” Frazier’s photographs of Braddock display a town left in the dust after the advent of the digital age. The black-and-white images, which were actually taken within the last 10 year, look as if they are decades old. Yet the striking photographs breathe life back into the abandoned town, bringing a spotlight to the real faces and homes of the contemporary town.
You might remember Frazier’s work from 2010, when she and Liz Magic Laser — the artist who designed subversive branding for the Armory Show this year — protested a Levi’s ad campaign that described Braddock as “the new frontier” by furiously rubbing their bodies on the sidewalk in front of a Levi’s pop-up shop while wearing jeans.

ChargeBite Leeches Power from Other iPhones to Charge Yours, Tells You Who Your Real Friends Are
Posted in: Today's ChiliDo you have an iPhone? You wanna know how you can get your friends to gift you an external battery pack? Support the ChargeBite’s fundraiser. The ChargeBite is a charger for 30-pin iOS devices, but it doesn’t have its own battery. What it does is draw power from other 30-pin iOS devices to transfer to your own. See where I’m going with this?
Inventors Liran Elihay and Asaf Gaber call their invention “a social charger.” The advantage of course is that you don’t have to carry an external battery pack and the ChargeBite never needs to be charged. I guess I don’t know have to tell you the obvious drawbacks of the ChargeBite, but I will make this clear – as far as I can tell you need two donor iOS devices to charge one iOS device.
I don’t think the ChargeBite is utterly useless, but overall I cannot in good conscience recommend that you support its fundraiser. We can’t fit two friends and their iPhones into our pockets. But years of reading about the likes of Brando have given me a soft spot for crazy gadgets and doodads. Just the fact that this actually exists should be enough for us.

Posted in: Today's ChiliShe said she had damaging information about a wealthy South Florida family. The trim man in a blue suit claimed to represent the family.
“What do you feel is fair to get the correspondence back?” he asked. They sat in a hotel lobby, smooth jazz piped in from the speakers above them.
“I feel fair-market value is fair,” answered the younger woman, wearing a blouse typically worn by home healthcare workers. She unzipped her purse, pulled out a yellow index card and passed it to him. He looked at the number written on the card.
