As the old adage goes, â??behind every great man there stands a great woman” — a saying that applies to Steve Harveyâ??s wife, Marjorie, who is gearing up for her second annual Girls Who Rule The World Mentoring Weekend on Oct. 28-30 in Atlanta, Ga. Hosted by the Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation, the three-day event aims to help 100 diverse teenage girls from the metro-Atlanta area navigate their way through the societal pressures of teenage life, including teenage pregnancy and prostitution.
Choosing Atlanta as the event’s location for the second consecutive year was a no-brainer for Mrs. Harvey. According to statistics, Georgia ranks number one in teenage girl high school dropouts and third in the nation for teenage prostitution. â??That was the reason why I started it here. The statistics here in Georgia were just alarming,â? she told The Huffington Post.
â??To me itâ??s just a moral responsibility that we have, weâ??ve got to start doing something, each and every person that can,” she added. “Iâ??m doing what I can, but that means you and any and everybody else that will get involved, weâ??ve got to get involved in these girls lives to get them to understand regardless of what mistakes that youâ??ve made, weâ??re here and we can move forward and turn things around.â?

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan has placed new travel restrictions on American diplomats living in the country, a U.S. official said Saturday, in the latest sign of the breakdown in ties between Islamabad and Washington since the U.S. raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
Pakistan reacted furiously to the May 2 bin Laden raid deep inside the country because it was carried out with no warning to authorities in Islamabad. The fallout battered an already frayed relationship seen as key to the fight against al-Qaida and Washington’s hopes of reaching a settlement in Afghanistan and withdrawing troops.

Larry Bird was one of the best clutch players the game ever has seen. So with Bird perhaps being in the final months of his three decades in the NBA, wouldn’t Bird look for a final shot?
Of course.
With expiring contracts of Mike Dunleavy ($10.56 million), T.J. Ford ($8.5 million) and Jeff Foster ($6.66 million), Indiana is finally in position this summer to have oodles of cap room. But Bird, the Pacers president, said his preference is to use his assets to swing a deal by the Feb. 24 trade deadline to acquire a key player.
“I would do that,” Bird, 54, who is contemplating retiring from the NBA after this season, said in an interview with FanHouse. “I’ve got my draft choice (a 2011 first-round pick). The thing I always say is, ‘Do you save it and see what the rules are (under a new collective bargaining agreement) or do you use it?’ But, if get that opportunity, I’m going to use it (by the trade deadline). … Do you wait or do you do it? I’ve made my mind up and I’ve talked to (Pacers owner Herb) Simon about it, and I’ve told him what I want to do, if we can get a good player.”
