Cornel West arrested protesting outside the Supreme Court [VIDEO]

Princeton Professor Cornel West, one of the most outspoken supporters of the Occupy Wall Street movement, was arrested Sunday in front of the Supreme Court while protesting corporate power.
According to a report from The Associated Press, West was one of 19 people arrested for refusing to leave Supreme Court property.
The October2011.org movement, the group leading the “occupation” of Washington’s Freedom Plaza, led an estimated 250 people to protest the Supreme Court Sunday afternoon. The group explained on its web forum that West and others “climbed on the steps of the Supreme Court and denounced court decisions that have produced money-based elections that empower corporations.”
“We want to bear witness today that we know the relation between corporate greed and what goes on too often in the Supreme Court decisions,” West said to the Supreme Court protesters over a megaphone.
“We want to send a lesson to ourselves, to our loved ones, our families, our communities, our nation, and the world that out of deep love for working and poor people that we are willing to put what ever it takes — even if we get arrested today — and say ‘We will not allow this day of Martin Luther King Jr.’s memorial today to go without somebody going to jail.’
“Because Martin King would be here right with us, with us to throw down out of deep love,” West added, noting that he stood with the police as well because they are “working people” as well.

West was carrying a sign reading “Poverty is the Greatest Violence of All.” October2011.org claims the sign was the reason for West’s arrest.

The Walking Dead Season Premiere Review: Worth the Wait

The wait is finally over for the anticipated return of The Walking Dead and, yes, it's off to a fantastic start.
Where last season ended on what could be considered a low note, the second season premiere hit the ground running... and simply kept going.
From the outset, the tension buildup and level of suspense was beautifully crafted against the warm and calm backdrop of the abandoned highway. Not only were the characters slightly on edge, but as a viewer, all I could do was wait for that moment where something would jump out and sink its nasty teeth into an unsuspecting victim.

Even when the herd of Walkers appeared, forcing the characters to run and hide, I continued to anticipate some moment that would reveal the survivors to the zombies. More so, the random zombie that found its way into the RV was a lumbering and scary piece of work that amped up that "when is it going to happen" moment. All I could do was wait. And wait. And wait.
I swear I think I set a new record for holding my breath.
Of course, there was also plenty of graphic moments filled with sharp instruments and head-plunging gruesomeness. Yet, it was the scene where Daryl opened up a zombie with his knife that was probably the most gut retching. Not only was the blood and the entrails visually disgusting, but the sloshing and the squishing was enough to make me want to gag. I have no idea how Rick managed to keep it together.
I guess that says something of his growth as a character. Rick has certainly become more hardened and even brazen when it comes to killing zombies. That harsh look in his eyes as he beat the Walkers with a rock was somewhat chilling. It seems that the dangerous conditions are slowly transforming the man and default leader of the group.

VIDEO: Jason Campbell Injury Knocks Raiders QB Out Of Game With Hurt Shoulder

Jason Campbell has left the Raiders' Week 6 game against the Browns with an apparent shoulder or collarbone injury after hurt his shoulder on an awkward landing on this scramble.

Campbell is being examined the sideline after the injury, and the Raiders have inserted Kyle Boller for him. Campbell was six for nine through the air for 52 yards before leaving.
Campbell has led the surprising Raiders to a 3-2 record in 2011, and the wide open AFC West appeared to be within Oakland's reach.
Boller inspires few as the Raiders' second-string quarterback, but the emergency quarterback is even less proven — Terrelle Pryor, who spent most of the early part of 2011 in NCAA limbo, is Boller's understudy.

Detroit Tigers at Texas Rangers

Detroit won two of its three home games in the series in order to send it back to Texas, but will now be facing elimination Saturday.  “You think we should have any pressure?  I don’t think so,” commented Tigers designated hitter Victor Martinez.  “It’s definitely not on our side, I can really tell you that.”  This is the 15th time in the history of the ALCS that a series has gone to Game 6, the team holding the 3-2 advantage has won the series 10 times.  It’s also important to note that the club’s locker room is incredibly beat up.   Detroit is 48-39 on the road this year and 33-25 when facing left-handed starters.

September NPD: Madden, Gears, Dead Island are hits (Updated with Nintendo hardware numbers!)

It should come as no surprise that Madden NFL 12 beat everything else in NPD's software chart for the month of September, unless you're really not into sports games and forgot it came out. Second place is also pretty expected, with the massive rollout of Gears of War 3 massively rolling into people's homes. Third place, however, is a bit more interesting -- Dead Island, from semi-obscure publisher Deep Silver, outsold almost everything else based on the strength of that trailer and the word "zombies." Find the top ten after the break.

In hardware, Microsoft reported Xbox 360 takes the top hardware spot once again, touting 438,000 units sold in the month. Nintendo reports sales of 360,000 3DS units in the five week September reporting period, as well as 240,000 Wiis and 145,000 DS systems. Sony has not released official sales numbers for the PS3 or PSP.

How to Get iOS 5’s Biggest Features in Android Right Now

iOS 5, Apple's latest update to its mobile OS, was released this week, and with it came a ton of great new features for iPhone and iPad owners. If you own an Android phone and wish some of those new features can be yours, they're closer than you think. Here's how you can get some of them, like Wi-Fi sync, cloud storage for music and documents, and free messaging right now on whatever Android phone you have. This guide isn't meant to shoehorn iOS 5 on your Android phone. If you wanted iOS, you would have purchased an iPhone. The goal here is to show you how to incorporate a few features into your device that may have made you the tiniest bit jealous when you saw some of the iOS 5 feature demos.

Feature: iCloud; Solution: Google Apps/Dropbox

What it is: iCloud offers iPhone users the ability to synchronize and store information in the cloud. It's essentially a beefed up version of MobileMe, and synchronizes everything from documents created on a mobile device to photos taken, contacts, and calendar appointments. Plus, the service is completely free.
 

How to Update Your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch on a New Computer Without Wiping Out All Your Data

 I don't use my first-generation iPad a ton, but of course I'm going to update to the great new features in iOS 5. The problem: I'm using a different computer now than I was the last time I synced it, and iTunes issues a rather daunting warning that updating the iPad on my new laptop will wipe out everything on my iPad. They don't offer a clear path to resolve this, it's actually quite simple. Here's how it works.

1. First you'll need to authorize your new computer with the same iTunes account as you used on your previous computer. Chances are you've already done this, but to double check, select Store > Authorize This Computer, enter your Apple ID and password, and click Authorize. (Per the Apple support page, "If the iTunes Store purchases on your device were purchased with multiple accounts, you will need to authorize the computer for each one."
2. Plug in your iDevice. When your device shows up in the iTunes sidebar, select File > Transfer Purchases from iPad (or whatever you iDevice's name is). iTunes will move all your apps from your device to your computer.
3. Sync your apps from your device to your computer in iTunes by click the Apps tab from your device page, ticking the sync apps link, and applying. (I forgot to add this step initially—apologies.)
4. Now, for good measure, right-click your device in the iTunes sidebar and select backup. (I'm not sure this is completely necessary, but it made me feel better.)
5. Now just download and apply the iOS 5 update like you normally would (that is, click the big Update button). All your apps and settings should remain in tact.

Note: The transfer purchases function will only transfer apps you've grabbed through the iTunes Store, which means, for example, the MP3s you'd synced to your device that you didn't buy from Apple probably won't make the jump. But the rest of your apps and settings should make it over. If something doesn't make it, here's how to download past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

Pregnant Hilary Duff : "It's a Boy!"

Hilary Duff didn't want to be surprised when she gives birth early next year. And so, in an interview that's set to air Monday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the pregnant 24-year-old actress-singer reveals that she's already found out she's expecting a baby boy!
"I haven't told anyone yet. I wanted to tell you first. I just found out," Duff tells host Ellen DeGeneres in the interview. "It's a boy! I had a feeling it was a boy the whole time."
The former Lizzie McGuire star confesses that she thinks she's a little more than four months along, which means her bundle of joy is due to arrive sometime around March. That coincides with the report made about why she was dropped from the upcoming Bonnie & Clyde remake, as a source said Duff likely wouldn't be available after her pregnancy until sometime in June.
Apparently her husband, pro hockey player Mike Comrie, expected this pregnancy to be just another false alarm -- until Duff showed him the pregnancy test proving otherwise.
"My husband makes this joke that I think I'm pregnant like 12 times a year," Duff confesses. "So when it actually happened... he was in the shower and I just held up the test and I was like, 'Oh my God.' And he was like, 'Ahh!' He was soaking wet. We were just a mess and started crying. It was really exciting."
Duff says that she hasn't felt many negative aspects of her pregnancy yet, and hasn't had any morning sickness or odd cravings.
"I feel great, actually. It's been super easy," she shares, though she does admit that she's been having "crazy dreams." "It's kind of like a little alien has taken over your body. You just don't quite feel normal."
