My high school had a program called Big Brothers. The central goal of Big Brothers is that an upperclassman in good standing with the school guides a group of four or five freshmen through the year. The first piece of advice my Big Brother gave me in the fall of 2008 was to get on Facebook. I didn’t. I didn’t join the network for almost a year — I waited until the fall of 2009.

Liberty Mutual Media opted to part ways with Barnes & Noble Book Stores on Thursday. In a disappointing and simultaneously frustrating move, Liberty Mutual sold off the majority of its shares in the company after just two years of partnership.

Phoenix is the sixth largest city in the U.S., but a casual visitor may not be able to garner that from one visit to the Valley of the Sun. Sure, the greater Phoenix metropolitan area has it all — sports, museums, an incredible array of restaurants, nightlife, freeways, skyscrapers and unparalleled desert beauty.

Somebody needs to tell the members of Russian femme-punk band Pussy Riot to quit while they're ahead. Otherwise, we should just force them to watch the last few seasons of "American Idol."
