MCA Tribute of the Day: It was only a matter of time before Brooklyn paid homage to Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys, whose “No Sleep Til Brooklyn” anthem was given the nod by an Internet commenter shortly after Yauch’s death Friday: “MCA can finally sleep, having arrived in Brooklyn.”

Sage Advice of the Day: Henry Rollins, the relentlessly outspoken hardcore music icon — the Black Flag bearer of modern punk, if you will — recently participated in a “Letters to a Young American” project. What follows is an excerpt from Part 1 and Part 2.
“You’ll find in your life that sometimes your great ambitions will be momentarily stymied, thwarted, marginalized by those who were perhaps luckier; come from money; had more doors opened; where college was a given, not a student loan; it was something that dad paid for; where an ease and confidence in life was almost a birthright. Where for you, it was a very hard climb. … That happens all the time.
Just because you come from nothing, you must not let that be something that holds you back.”
Poignant, and more relevant than ever.

Behind the Pulitzer of the Day: When Denver Post photographer Craig F. Walker won the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography on Monday, his boss managed to sneak his subject, Scott Ostrom, into the newsroom for the announcement. But Ostrom had something to celebrate, as well: The Iraq war vet had just learned that the Department of Veterans Affairs finally officially recognized his PTSD, which was at the center of Walker’s award-winning project, called “Welcome Home.”
“This story has definitely saved at least one guy’s life so far,” Ostrom says.

Project 4 for Design, the cause poster.
RIP: Two weeks ago, Rémi Ochlik took home a prestigious World Press Photo prize for his courageous documentation of the Battle for Libya. This morning, while bearing witness to the horrors of everyday life in the besieged Syrian city of Homs, the acclaimed French photojournalist was killed.
He was 28.
The Syrian Army rocket attack that reportedly targeted the makeshift press center where Ochlik was located also claimed the life of American war reporter Marie Colvin — the only journalist reporting on behalf of a British newspaper (The Sunday Times) from inside Homs.
At least 80 others were also killed in rocket and bomb attacks throughout the day.
Hundreds of civilians are believed to have been killed since the Syrian regime’s shelling campaign began 19 days ago.
In her final report from Homs, recorded mere hours before her death, Colvin told CNN’s Anderson that the Syrian Army was “simply shelling a city of cold, starving civilians.”
