The video host will then store the video on its server, and show the individual different types of code to allow others to view this video. Because many users do not have personal web space, either as a paid service, or through an ISP offering, video hosting services are becoming increasingly popular, especially with the explosion in popularity of blogs, forums, and other interactive pages. The website, mainly used as the video hosting service, is usually called the video sharing website.

These type of Video clip contests organized by these sites has thrown open the door for many aspiring film-makers to exhibit their talent and compete with the elite.
Online video sharing sites allow anyone connected to the web to easily upload digital video recordings so that these clips can be viewed by other people.

The Biggest Loser: ‘I am a whole new woman' - MSNBC
-------------------------------------------------------
April 16: Ali Vincent, who shed 112 pounds to become the first-ever female winner of weight-loss competition "The Biggest Loser," visits TODAY with trainer Jillian Michaels to share her inspiring story.
Ali Vincent reveals a new formula to the world, after winning season five of NBC's “The Biggest Loser†on Tuesday night. The hairdresser from Mesa, Ariz., lost more than half her body weight, but gained a whole new perspective on life.
Vincent, 32, started the show tipping the scales at 234 pounds and ended it weighing 122 pounds. Although her overall weight loss of 112 pounds was less than second-place Roger Schultz (164 pounds), “The Biggest Loser†winner is determined by weight-loss percentage.
She decided to try out for “The Biggest Loser†with her mother, Bette-Sue Burkland. Despite some early success, Vincent and her mom were voted off the show in the fourth episode.
Vincent, however, remained undaunted.
Fortunately for Vincent, the show, in an unforeseen twist, was bringing her back.
Even better for her, she lost 33 more pounds on her own — while no longer a contestant for the show.
And Vincent was in for the long haul.
Vincent pocketed $250,000 for her losing ways. After taking a red-eye flight from California to New York, one of the first things she saw was a copy of USA Today with a “Got Milk?†ad featuring her chiseled self.
Vincent hopes her dramatic weight loss will put her in a better position to achieve her goal of becoming a platform artist for a large corporation. Until then, she is enjoying her role as an inspirational figure for those looking to lose weight.
See the amazing transformations and pounds shed by the season five contestants.
History is made on "Biggest Loser," with Ali becoming the first female contestant to ever win this weight-loss TV show. While she took home the title and the $250,000 prize. Bernie of the Biggest Loser Club team won $100,000 for losing the most weight of all the eliminated players.

Report links Travis Ford to Oklahoma State - SI.com
---------------------------------------------------
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- Oklahoma State had no announcement planned Wednesday amid conflicting reports that Massachusetts' Travis Ford was expected to take the job as the Cowboys' basketball coach.
Spokesman Mike Noteware said Oklahoma State had no plans for a news conference despite a report from ESPN that had unnamed sources indicating that Ford intended to meet with his players at UMass in the afternoon regarding the position in Stillwater.
"Right now, he's still here, still our coach at UMass," Massachusetts assistant athletic director Jason Yellin said.
Ford, 38, turned down a job offer from Big East school Providence and had also previously been linked to an opening at LSU that was eventually filled when Trent Johnson left Stanford to take it. UMass athletic director John McCutcheon announced last week that Ford intended to stay with the Minutemen, but he did not discuss terms of Ford's new contract.
A former player at Kentucky, Ford led UMass to a 25-11 record this season and an appearance in the NIT championship game, where it lost to Ohio State. He is 62-35 in three seasons at Massachusetts.
Ford previously took over a losing program at Eastern Kentucky and guided it to its first NCAA tournament appearance in 26 years.
Kansas coach Bill Self turned down the Cowboys last week, instead signing an extension to remain with the national champion Jayhawks.

Ex-Newark mayor and mistress convicted in corruption trial - The Associated Press
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A federal jury convicted ex-Mayor Sharpe James and his former mistress Wednesday of corruption stemming from the cut-rate sale of city land.
James was found guilty on all five charges he faced, including fraud and conspiracy. Under federal guidelines, he could face seven to eight years in prison, but a judge could impose as much as 20 years on some individual counts. James could also be stripped of pensions that provide a six-figure annual income.
His ex-girlfriend, Tamika Riley, was convicted on the same five charges and eight others, including evading taxes and cheating to obtain subsidized housing assistance for herself. She faces a similar possible sentence.
Neither James nor Riley showed any emotion as the verdicts were read. The two and their lawyers declined comment afterward.
"Sharpe James used the power of his office for his own self-gratification," U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie said outside court.
State Attorney General Anne Milgram, whose office investigated and prosecuted the case with federal authorities, said the verdict showed the jury rejected "the cancerous form of government that Sharpe James presided over."
The jury deliberated about 30 hours over six days at a courthouse just a block from City Hall, where James led New Jersey's largest city for 20 years until 2006. Riley, 39, was a publicist who once ran a clothing boutique in the same neighborhood.
Prosecutors charged that the 72-year-old James, who was also a Democratic state senator from 1999 to January 2008, abused his office as mayor and betrayed his constituents by arranging for the sale of nine city-owned properties for $46,000 to Riley from 2001 to 2005. Riley quickly sold them for $665,000 without ever starting required rehabilitation work on most of them, prosecutors said.
James' attorneys argued that no evidence showed that the mayor assisted Riley or even had knowledge of her transactions, and that the mayor's interest in redeveloping the struggling city was well within the scope of his duties.
They stressed that the Newark City Council, not the mayor, had final approval over the land prices and sales. James' team presented only two witnesses, both members of the council, who said James never tried to influence their decisions.
Riley lawyer Gerald Krovatin blamed her real estate lawyers for failing to protect her from missteps in the land deals. He said she got no special treatment because of her affair with James, a married man twice her age, and claimed she was swept up in the investigation of James only because of their "intimate" relationship.
Neither James nor Riley testified during the trial, which had five weeks of testimony from 40 witnesses.
Jurors got some sense of the power James wielded in the city and the state, and learned that he had a home on the Jersey shore and yachts — possessions that had long raised eyebrows around the state.
They did not hear about his last mayoral election, in 2002, when he defeated the current mayor, Cory A. Booker, in a bitter campaign chronicled in the Oscar-nominated documentary film "Street Fight."
James is one of the most powerful figures snared in a federal corruption probe and one of the few to plead not guilty. He still faces a federal trial on charges he used city-issued credit cards to pay for $58,000 worth of personal expenses while he was mayor, including trips with several women other than his wife, to Martha's Vineyard, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Rio de Janeiro.

Ali Vincent is the Biggest Loser - TheOnlinewire
------------------------------------------------
Ali Vincent is the Biggest LoserFor the first time, a woman has won The Biggest Loser. Ali Vincent, a 32-year-old hairdresser from Mesa, Ariz., lost more than half her body weight during the show's fifth season and won $250,000 for her efforts.
"I am a whole new woman," Vincent told the Today Show's Lester Holt on Wednesday. "There are no limits. There are absolutely no limits and I started to dream big again."
Although fellow contestant Roger Schultz lost 164 pounds, The Biggest Loser winner is determined by weight-loss percentage.
This being the "couples" version of the show, Vincent and her mother were voted off the show in the fourth episode and Vincent went on to lose another 33 pounds at home.
"I was like, 'Nobody can take this away from me,' " she recalled. "I'm going to do it. I'm going to go back there and I'm going to stand on that stage, even if it's with the at-home people, and I am going to be the Biggest Loser."
However in the show's twist, she was brought back.
"I'm going to continue to go for what I want," Vincent told MSNBC. "My physical being is a direct representation of what I feel inside, which is strong and confident and beautiful."

Tyler Perry Plans An Obama Film - Blogger News Network
------------------------------------------------------
Posted on April 13th, 2008 by Tamika M. Murray in All News, Celebrity News, Coming soon, Country News, Entertainment, State News, US PoliticsRead 155 times.
Tyler Perry, director, writer, and star of such films as Meet the Browns, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, and Why Did I Get Married has set his sight on the life and love of Democratic Presidential hopeful, Barack Obama.
If anyone can get a movie made based on Obama's romance with his wife, it's Perry. The Tyler Perry brand seems unstoppable. To date, his films, which are distributed by Lionsgate—Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Madea's Family Reunion, Daddy's Little Girls and Why Did I Get Married?—have grossed more than $200 million, according to Black Enterprise.com.
Perry dreams of casting Denzel Washington and Angela Bassett in the lead roles.
Signing Washington as the lead may be a challenge due to his $20 million per picture price and Perry's modest $5 million to $15 million production range.
Perry's audience appears to have an inherent loyalty to his work, fostered and nurtured by his years of successful urban stage productions and DVD distribution.
If done well, presidential politics onscreen can be not only informative, but alluring entertainment. Campaign issues, particularly race and politics, possess enormous drama and suspense.
Whether or not Obama captures the Oval Office and becomes America's first official black president is in the hands of the electorate.
What is clear is that a well done film will definitely give the public a more intimate view of the Obama family.
