LITTLE ROCK — The Dave Matthews Band will play for Army football next month - at two free shows at West Point, N.Y. The U.S. Military Academy beat out Air Force, the Navy and more than 100 other colleges that participated in the World's Loudest Pep Rally contest to win a visit from the rock star. Matthews will play for cadets Nov. 14 and 15. "Congratulations! We'll see you in November," Matthews, 40, said in a videotape that was to be shown to cadets at West Point's mess hall Wednesday. Cadets at the storied Hudson Valley academy won the contest by submitting invitations by text messages or postings at attblueroom.com. AT&T sponsored the contest. Cadets showed off their hip-hop moves in one posted video, while others made direct pleas to Matthews, such as "West Point NEEDS someone to ROCK our stonewalled campus." Army's Black Knights are 3-5 this season.

Rapper Foxy Brown was given 76 days in punitive segregation at New York City's Rikers Island jail after she scuffled with another inmate, authorities said Tuesday. Brown, 28, was separated from other inmates on Oct. 16, said Stephen Morello, deputy commissioner for public information for the city's Correction Department. Brown and another inmate got into a shoving match earlier this month, said Morello, adding he didn't know why the two were fighting. Neither inmate was injured. After that incident, Morellosaid, Brown was abusive toward correction guards and then refused to take a random drug test. The combined violations, Morello said, earned Brown more than two months in punitive segregation, where an inmate can spend up to 23 hours a day in isolation. A message left with Brown's lawyer was not immediately returned. Brown is serving a year at Rikers for violating her probation in a case stemming from a Manhattan fight she had with manicurists in a nail salon. Authorities said Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, skipped her required anger management classes and traveled out of the city without permission. Brown also refused to attend court in Brooklyn on Oct. 12 after she was accused of throwing a cell phone at a neighbor who complained about the volume of her car radio in August. Four days later she appeared in court and pleaded innocent to charges of assault, attempted assault, menacing and criminal possession of a weapon - the cell phone.
