Raiders topple 'Big Ben' this time around
OAKLAND -- The thing with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is he is more ridden down than actually blasted whenever he is sacked.There’s a reason he is known as Big Ben and, at 6-feet-5, 241 pounds, he is hard to take down.

Shilpa Shetty
Shilpa Shetty (born June 8, 1975) is an Indian film actress and model. Since making her debut in the film Baazigar (1993), she has appeared in nearly 40 Bollywood, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada films, her first leading role being in the 1994 film Aag. Her performances in Dhadkan (2000) and Rishtey (2002) were appreciated, while her portrayal of an AIDS patient in Phir Milenge (2004) won her many accolades.

This was followed by a re-establishment of her status in the film industry in 2007 when she appeared in two successive movies, Life in a... Metro and Apne, with her performance in the former drawing positive reviews.

Few rock groups can claim to have broken so much new
territory, and maintain such consistent brilliance on record, as the Velvet Underground
during their brief lifespan. It was the group's lot to be ahead of, or
at least out of step with, their time. The mid- to late '60s was an era
of explosive growth and experimentation in rock, but the Velvets'
innovations -- which blended the energy of rock with the sonic
adventurism of the avant-garde, and introduced a new degree of social
realism and sexual kinkiness into rock lyrics -- were too abrasive for
the mainstream to handle. During their time, the group experienced
little commercial success; though they were hugely appreciated by a cult
audience and some critics, the larger public treated them with
indifference or, occasionally, scorn. the Velvets'
music was too important to languish in obscurity, though; their cult
only grew larger and larger in the years following their demise, and
continued to mushroom through the years. By the 1980s, they were
acknowledged not just as one of the most important rock bands of the
'60s, but one of the best of all time, and one whose immense
significance cannot be measured by their relatively modest sales.
Historians often hail the group for their incalculable influence upon the punk and new wave of subsequent years, and while the Velvets were undoubtedly a key touchstone of the movements, to focus upon these elements of their vision is to only get part of the story. The group was uncompromising in their music and lyrics, to be sure, sometimes espousing a bleakness and primitivism that would inspire alienated singers and songwriters of future generations. But their colorful and oft-grim soundscapes were firmly grounded in strong, well-constructed songs that could be as humanistic and compassionate as they were outrageous and confrontational. The member most responsible for these qualities was guitarist, singer, and songwriter Lou Reed, whose sing-speak vocals and gripping narratives have come to define street-savvy rock & roll.
