If you thought Raj Rajaratnam was fun, you're in for a real treat with this guy. Meet Tyrone L. Gilliams, sketcher extraordinare. He's been arrested for wire fraud and probably running a Ponzi scheme because one of his clients thought that maybe trips to Miami and Saks receipts were a little suspicious. We can't say no one saw it coming: the dude, says Dealbreaker, is "an aspiring reality TV star who hired a team of videographers to follow him around. He's also a hip hop promoter-cum internet pastor-cum "philanthropist." But best of all, he graduated from Penn in 1990 as a basketball star.

Hubba hubba Econ Scream. Please at least be 18 years old.

Let the transition from douchebag with poster to douchebag with "power" begin! Winners after the jump; for the full breakdown, click here. Spoiler alert: there's a girl class board president!

It's $14 and also comes in red, pink and green. You need one. Don't ask questions, asshole.

We're guessing this ad is meant to be tailored to all the lovely Penn15es out there. However, "Long Hard Semester" + hot dog + juxtaposition with "mom & dad" = all kinds of uncomfortable.

In a weird five-way US News and World Report orgy, we've maintained our 5th-best national university spot but now share it with Cal Tech, Stanford, MIT and U Chicago. A big "screw you" to Columbia for continuing to squat in the fourth-place that should've been ours. Harvard, Yale, and Princeton remained safe in their little bubble of "great at rankings but bad at football," and Duke is now tailgating us at #10. Discuss.

Or, in other words, fuuuuuuuuuck. The man behind the counter says it's because someone tripped over a cord "or something." One outlet works on the outside patio, which will be super-convenient when it's snowing. To those looking to study around 40th and Spruce: there's always the Dental library!

Not content with mere fluff pieces, Madame President today reminded us she's also the president of that really important commission we totally forgot about until some people said she was unfit for it. Because that commission did something!

Well, now the class of 2011 knows who to hit up for a loan. Or a new car. You can see all the donors, grouped by donation amount, on the neat little piece of viewing technology here. It even goes to years past, so you know who by now probably has a real nice job and definitely wants you to call them for money. Special shoutout to the "Half A Year's Tuition As A Donation Club," population two!

Hey, remember that time Standard & Poor's downgraded America? People didn't take that too well. Guess the whole "pissing off the greatest country in the world" thing didn't quite jive with the S&P president Deven Sharma, as he'll be out of the job by the end of the year. Who, in this time of economic despair, could possibly take the helm of the only firm with enough chutzpah to give the US an AA+? Why, a Wharton alum of course!

The illustrious alumnus-turned-governor who fathered our new favorite Twitter account finished a distant 9th in the Iowa Ames Straw Poll, an early Republican contest to identify potential front-runners. With just 69 votes (hehe), Huntsman avoided last place (sucks to be Thad McCotter), but he even lost to other Penn favorite Newt Gingrich.

Scared of what you might find if you look for a bed on Craigslist? Broken your Ikea crap one too many times? Perhaps you're moving into an old frat house and like hell you're touching the former tenants' stuff. Whatever your bed problems, the latest kids bit by the entrepreneurial bug have a solution for you.

SCENE I: The internet. Aspiring (failing?) writer reaches out on Craiglist missed connections. Nothing says hipster love like Lee's delivery guys and army surplus bags at 40th and Walnut. This is apparently best expressed through a short play.

Our favorite part of any Curb episode is when Larry David makes out with someone, so this week was a special treat: the object of his affection is a Penn alum! Rebecca Creskoff has been in a whole bunch of random TV stuff including Law and Order, The West Wing, Mad Men, and Hannah Montana so it was about time she made this bold step forward. It's no surprise TV-Rebecca has rolled with badasses, presidents, misogynists, pop stars and Larry David; those seem to be the ideal lifestyles of any Penn student.

White Guys Are Talking About The Economy In The Wall Street Journal-- And one of them went to teaches at Penn. In other news, the sun rose today.

During our daily ritual mindless trolling of Craigslist, we stumbled upon something that smelled strikingly familiar; a hint of stale beer, pot and an overwhelming sense of regret. There was something we couldn't quite put our finger on about the "$710 Bro Pad" near the Art Museum looking for roommates. Then it hit us: clearly these were Penn kids.

Attempted Mugging Of Penn Kid On 41st And Walnut-- While we're not releasing names or anything like that, we do have confirmation from DPS that there was an attempted mugging of a Penn kid last Thursday. Right (basically) on campus! At 9:30 on a weeknight! Luckily, Penn Police were quick on the scene and arrested the suspects. Look out for details in the Crime Log and please, be careful when you're walking around at night.

We're sure our finance friends have already seen this (y'all read Dealbook more than UTB? No way), but for the rest of you, we thought it only fair to share the plight of our suffering peers. It seems Wall Street Interns just cannot catch a break. Forced to satisfy their basic needs in hiding, many are faced with significantly less perks than their predecessors three or four years ago thanks to shrinking budgets and a failing economy.

Philly is ridding its streets of... cellphones? Everyone is freaking out over a new program condescendingly-titled "Give Respect, Get Respect." Basically: you can get a citation for texting while walking. Or, as it stands at Penn, breathing. It's cool that the program also targets "bad behavior by motorists and bicyclists," but the texting thing can cost offenders fines up to $120!

The class of 2016 will now be able to request roommates of any gender, the DP reports, lobbing Penn into the top tier of progressive housing policies. But really, people, you're missing the bigger issue here. We're not so concerned about boys living with girls as we are with the class of 2016 living in dorms. Who said it was okay to let little babies out of their cribs!?
