Dru Ha To Run 26.2 NYC Marathon In Honor of Father
From: AllHipHop
Hip-Hop executive Dru Ha has announced that he will run in the ING: New York City Marathon this November, to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Association NYC.
Dru Ha, who co-founded seminal Hip-Hop label Duck Down Records with rapper Buckshot of Black Moon, will run in honor of his father Harvey L. Friedman, who passed away from Alzheimer's this past January.
His father suffered from the battle for over nine years and shortly after his passing in January, Dru Ha began to train.
"I wanted to do something extremely challenging in memory of my father and to raise awareness about this compassionless disease," Dru Ha said. "Fans of Duck Down may not realize how instrumental my father was in assisting with incorporating and founding Duck Down. While he was a respected real estate attorney, he had little legal entertainment background yet found the time to learn enough about the business to help negotiate our early contracts and offered unconditional guidance for Buckshot and myself."
Dru Ha will run the 26.2 mile race with the NYC Alzheimer's Association marathon chapter team: “Run 2 Remember.”
Dru Ha has also found traces of his father's morals in taking on the challenging race.
"To properly train for a marathon, I'm quickly learning it takes dedication, perseverance and sacrifice of your personal time. All qualities my father exemplified; it's a fitting way to pay tribute to him.

NYPD WILL NOW HAVE TWITTER AND FACEBOOK POLICE
DAILY NEWS PHOTO ILLUSTRATION
The New York Police Department has formed Facebook and Twitter units in order to track down and monitor criminals and criminal behavior on social media sites.From: NY Daily News
The NYPD has formed a new unit to track troublemakers who announce plans or brag about their crimes on Twitter, MySpace and Facebook.
Newly named Assistant Commissioner Kevin O'Connor, one of the department's online and gang gurus, has been put in charge of the new juvenile justice unit. He and his staff will mine social media, looking for info about troublesome house parties, gang showdowns and other potential mayhem, sources said.
The power of social media to empower both criminals and cops has been on full display in London this week, where riots and looting have been spreading dramatically.
The rioters have been using Twitter and BlackBerry messages to choose targets for looting or burning - and to alert one another about police positions.
The very same social media have been a source for those trying to help cops by posting photos of rioters.
O'Connor's new unit will operate under the Community Affairs Bureau; it will also handle outreach programs, with its mandate going beyond the Net.
Still, the 23-year veteran is known for his success in online policing, including stings to catch predator pervs looking for sex with underage victims.

And he was credited in his former assignment with a Manhattan North gang unit for providing critical information in a number of shooting cases gleaned from online boasting. O'Connor, who could not be reached for comment, was promoted to his new position from lieutenant - a highly unusual stepup in rank.
Under Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, the NYPD has made wide use of technology, and it's helped in a number of cases, including:
- * In March, Anthony Collao, 18, was fatally beaten in an anti-gay attack at a Woodhaven, Queens, house party advertised on Facebook. Calvin Pietri, one of six arrested, bragged about the murder on Facebook, authorities said.
- * Also in March, a feud over a $20 loan for diapers played out on Facebook and ended with Kayla Henriques, 18, accused of stabbing to death her friend Kamisha Richards, 22, in East New York, Brooklyn.
In May, a man was shot dead at a Queens junior high reunion that drew hundreds of unexpected revelers when word of the bash went viral on Twitter.
That incident prompted Kelly to instruct all police commanders to keep track of house parties, especially those advertising online.
