Rosalee Ramer is much like every other 15-year-old girl in Watsonville, Calif., except for one thing ? she spends her free time ?flying 10,000 pounds of truck through 30 feet of air.? That?s right ? Ramer drives monster trucks. The sophomore at Pacific Collegiate School (who also plays the piano of all things) pilots Detour ? a souped up 2010 Ford Ranger which she and her dad Kelvin built. She began changing tires at 8 years old, started learning to drive the big rigs at age 11 and competed in her first event at age 14. Ramer, who�hopes to earn a degree in mechanical engineering at Stanford, ?It?s definitely going to be part of my life for a long time,? Rosalee told the Santa Cruz Sentinel. ?It?s what I love.?

MJD zings players drafted before him
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew has carved himself a nice National Football League career after being taken late in the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft. And the 28-year-old hasn't forgotten about the fact that 59 other players were drafted ahead of him.Some of those highly-touted players are already out of the league. These players include the likes of quarterbacks Vince Young and Matt Leinart, and running backs Laurence Maroney, Joseph Addai, and LenDale White, among others.Jones-Drew revels in the fact that he has stuck around and others haven't.?Half the guys drafted in front of me are working at Target right now,?

Djokovic touts benefits of health food
Over at Stuff White People Like , they ought to be carving a Hall of Fame bust for Novak Djokovic.
This is a man who, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal , is not only just a professional tennis player -- he's also a health-food freak obsessed with everything from special New Zealand honey, shakes made out of pea protein, and (of course) cashew butter. If he buys this stuff at Whole Foods while wearing Tom's shoes and drives it all home in a Volvo, he's the perfect example of a wealthy hipster.

What a Mess! UNC Suspends Guard P.J. Hairston ?Indefinitely?
So, your�head coach is already livid�with you. And even though you may have gained a temporary reprieve of sorts when�drug possession and driving without a license charges were dropped, you?re still embroiled in a situation where a former felon facing drug charges is renting you cars and has an�increasing number of connections to athletes�from your school. Oh yeah, and the NCAA is investigating your ties to agents. So, if you?re P.J. Hairston, what do you do? You get�banged for reckless driving�after being pulled over for going 93 in a 65-mph zone. And if you?re North Carolina basketball? You�immediately suspend Hairston indefinitely, a decision the school announced Sunday night.
