That was a really exciting game. @radleybalko, I think Michigan State vs. Tennessee was the best game of the tournament. #ncaatournament

There’s Only 1 Way to End the Mexican Drug War
Almost 20,000 Mexican citizens have died in that country since President Felipe Calderon’s government declared war on the drug lords that even now seem to rule many parts of that country. Worse, that’s not likely to change says Ismael Zambada, a top member of Joaquin Guzman, Mexico’s most notorious drug lord: "Millions of people are…
