Xbox 360 Review: College Hoops 2K6 by Matt Paprocki
Finally, after all these years, you do not have to pay thousands of VIP points for Air Hockey. Oh and this basketball sim is a nice upgrade from NBA 2K6 too.

From Sci/Tech Editor Lisa McKay:
Phillip Winn gives readers the ultimate insider's look at how web sites can unwittingly run afoul of community-driven sites like Digg in this clear-eyed and honest account of Blogcritics' own experience in Digg Faces New Accusations Of Censorship: An Inside Look.
I would also like to give a nod to Sal Marinello's piece which is eloquently described by my colleague Diana Hartman below.
From Culture Editor Diana Hartman:
Certified Personal Trainer Sal Marinello takes the cake and throws it in the face of every zealot in the diet industry. Strugglers everywhere can't help but appreciate Sal's no-nonsense, comical swipe at everyone from the Surgeon General to Berkeley's Center for Weight and Health in The Healthy Skeptic: I Hate The Food Police And You Should Too.
Picked by last week's chosen authors:
From Richard Marcus:
Dave Nalle's Earth Day Vs. Arbor Day isn't going to make a lot of people happy, but I agree with his assesment of the whole idea of Earth Day. He and I may differ on other issues but he's bang on here, and his arguments make a lot of sense to me. If for no other reason than to celebrate the fact that two people from opposite ends of the political spectrum (or are we — read my comment at the post) can find common ground, this post is my pick of the week.
From Glen Boyd:
My pick is Natalie Davis' excellent anaylsis of Al Stewart's Discography Part 1. Al stole my date at one of his concerts years ago (long story that Natalie already knows), but I still can't deny albums like Love Chronicles and Modern Times. Thanks for reminding me, Natalie.

Thank you kindly natalie -- although I need to note it's "Dirga," not "Durga." (I'm used to it!) Thanks again!
2 - Lisa McKay
Fixed, Nik! Sorry about that.

Many thanks Connies for the nod,I've always loved late sixties early seventies funk. So finding this little horde of lost treasures to review was a treat. Of interest to all you Bob Marley freaks out there, this disc is released by the former owner of Studio One in Kingston, who now lives somewhere in New York City and runs a record label.
