What do drug addicts, serial dieters and children from troubled homes have in common?
More than you might think.
Stress can play a pernicious role in triggering a vicious cycle that leaves these groups overwhelmed by uncontrollable impulses and distracted by negative feelings -- all of which may, in turn, spark subsequent cycles of relapse, bingeing and failure.
Through a career that spans almost three decades, Rajita Sinha, psychologist and head of the Yale Stress Center, has sought to understand the processes underlying these stress cycles in hopes they may one day be prevented.
The dance of human emotions
For Sinha, it all began with emotions.
She was 9 years old and living in her native India when she began training in classical Indian dance, which is heavily focused on experiencing and expressing emotions. Indian dancers use facial expressions and hand gestures to tell the stories of people's sacred lives.
"Dancing tied me to the powerful effects of our emotions," she recalls.
Sinha practiced the art form through college, growing ever more fascinated by how brain and physiology affect emotions and how emotions motivate behavior.
She started her career by working with individual emotions such as anger and sadness, examining how they affect the body and change our response to different stimuli in the environment. What she observed back then was that people don't generally have pure emotions -- that is, they don't feel just angry or fearful -- but that their emotions are often mixed.
"If you asked them how they were feeling, they would say they were stressed or upset," she says. She set out to understand how emotions work together, both to protect us and to cause the stress that can wear us down.
The habit of addiction
In 1994 Sinha was running the substance abuse treatment unit at Yale. As the clinical director, she was doing research on cognitive behavioral treatments that taught recovering addicts how to identify problems and overcome cravings.
Although the research showed that these skills worked, they tended to have only modest effects; a number of people benefited, but that number was not large.
"I would run these groups in my clinic and see the same individuals come back over and over again," Sinha recalls. "They would tell me, 'I know what I'm supposed to do, I have these skills, but when I'm out there and something happens, I just can't help myself.'"
"The biggest challenge with addiction, of course, is relapse, and I set out to understand what drives relapse; what brings these behaviors back."
It became clear that there was often a threshold moment during which some kind of a challenge or trigger prevented the recovering person from accessing his or her cognitive resources. The way the emotions were flooding the person somehow led to a greater risk of relapse.
In each case, Sinha observed that stress played a pivotal role in the loss of control. Clearly Sinha and her colleagues couldn't be out there with each person as he or she was relapsing, but they set out to replicate the behavior in a laboratory setting.
"We began to bring addicted people in recovery into the lab and gave them a series of challenges in controlled experiments. We found that when addicted individuals were under stress, they almost automatically wanted to start using drugs again."
The research began to establish a clear pattern of stress-induced craving for drugs -- both for those early in recovery and those who were actively using. And it wasn't just higher levels of anxiety and negative emotions that were making the recovering addicts seek relief from the stress; there was also a parallel process happening -- the stress was actually escalating the craving for the drug.
Subsequent experiments showed that stress played an important role in the loss of self-control across a spectrum of behaviors, including gambling and the consumption of tobacco, alcohol and food.
"We started to look into the brain to see what was happening and found that during those periods of arousal, the 'habit' regions in the brain were activated," Sinha says.
She and her colleagues spent a lot of time teasing apart this mechanism in an attempt to figure out how to break the cycle of addiction.
"We have lots of habits that are very important for survival. It's a very evolutionarily hard-wired response that comes from a primitive need to respond very quickly. It's very hard to break that link."
Drugs, food and habitual behaviors all have a direct effect on the biology of stress. It's a feed-forward model, Sinha observes. Her research has shown that stress begets more stress. This is of particular concern because there's a direct link between stress, anxiety, depression and chronic disease.

Where does that leave users who want a large or small of the non wireless version? Did they bother to improve that?
What about those who are stuck with the same problem since it's not really a fix for those with the problem with the first release of tablets?

Sleep Terror
Probing Tranquility
I'll be honest, I've been waiting for Probing Tranquility to roll through the doors at Metal Review for a good while now, anyone who's spent a little time rabidly searching the web for the next tech death monolith more than likely shares my sentiments. For any of you even mildly acquainted with the instrumental phenomena of Sleep Terror, it should come as no surprise to find that I consider this particular band to be amongst the high ranking elites of tech death.
For those of you not familiar with Luke Jaeger's work, the man is the unholy prodigy of Satan himself, second to none other than the infamous Muhammed Suicmez. And while the latter has oftentimes been critizied for coming off as terribly soulless and overly calculated, Luke actually presents a more dynamic, and varied onslaught to tech death than almost any of his peers. In fact, in a lot of ways his lead style sounds a whole shit load like Necrophagist, but anyone with a trained enough ear can hear the distinctive difference in artistic flair albeit they both have the same basic stylistic approach. Rather than having a whole fucking bunch of shit happening at once, the guitar lines focus on one primary style before frenetically swapping to a whole other plan of attack whether it be the heavily Atheist and Cynic influenced jazz experimentation sprinkled throughout each song, or the unrelentingly heavy and complex Decrepit Birth or Severed Savior style rhythms that routinely bludgeon the listener within an absolutely jaw dropping display of skill. Rather than remain fixated on a singular approach, somewhat similar to Spawn of Possession is the apparent Sleep Terror mantra to constantly throw the listener off by schizophrednic changes of pace the exact moment you feel you're about to grasp exactly what's going on. Add to this a heavy sense of progressive experimentation and the occasional with the occasional what the fuck moment, we have an album that's as outlandishly interesting as it is immeasurably brutal.
My only real complaint concerning Probing Tranquility is the lack of a solid and consistent lineup to back the man up. Beyond that, the sound is refreshingly clear, inhumanly precise, and tighter than a virgin's twat. The only real let down is the conspicuous absence of a bassist and a flesh and blood drummer on this one. While the drum parts are wonderfully placed and tastefully executed, they can oftentimes border on the annoyingly paper thin side of things. The last little point of critique is while there is an over abundant amount of dynamic variation and stylistic shifts throughout the songs themselves, while none of the material bleeds together per se, Probing Tranquility can sometimes cut very close to the formulaic side of things.
I can assure you that how you'll feel about Sleep Terror depends directly on how you like your death metal, if intricate rhytms and unbelievably technical lead work appeals to you, chances are you should be ashamed for not already owning this. How Sleep Terror haven't found themselves on Neurotic Records is absolutely beyond me; Sleep Terror is a force unto itself, that any fan of the genre should watch avidly close.

The Oregon Zoo actively works to restore populations of native species in the Pacific Northwest ranging from tiny butterflies to the continent's largest bird, the California condor.
Species recovery is a learning, ongoing process. The zoo teams with various partners in recovery programs for the following species:
California condors scavenge and feed on carrion, and once ranged along the entire West Coast of the United States. Their nearly 10-foot wingspan can carry them up to 200 miles in a day. They are revered by Native Americans, one of the zoo's conservation partners in restoring the condor to its native habitat.
Western pond turtles can live to 70 years. Because they rely on wetlands, they've suffered much loss of habitat as humans have drained, dammed or filled their habitat. With new understanding of the importance of wetlands, and conservation efforts by the zoo and its partners, turtle populations have been increasing, from 150 in Washington in 1990 to 1,400 in 2011.
The Oregon spotted frog is the most aquatic native frog in the Pacific Northwest. Like the turtle, it has suffered loss of its wetland habitat, as well as predation by non-native bullfrogs and bass. Since 2007, the zoo has worked with conservation partners to restore frog populations. In 2011, 1,200 were released and 11 egg clusters found at a wild release site.
The Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit is the smallest rabbit in North America, at less than 1 pound. It lives in, eats, and digs in sagebrush. Much of its habitat has been converted to agricultural land; by 2002 the rabbit was nearly extinct. The zoo is working to restore this species, and in 2011, for the first time in more than 10 years, the Washington pygmy rabbit bred and gave birth in its historic range.
The Oregon silverspot butterfly was once found in coastal headlands from northern California to southern Washington. Its larvae rely on a single host plant, the western blue violet. The zoo and its conservation partners are working to revegetate its range with this plant and at the same time, rear and release butterflies to increase wild populations.
Taylor's checkerspot butterfly once fluttered across prairies west of the Cascade Mountains from British Columbia through Oregon's Willamette Valley. Today, 99 percent of its range has become farmland, pasture and city. The zoo is breeding and releasing butterflies to build populations and restore the butterfly to remaining areas of its historic range.
Conservation at work
Thanks to the efforts of the Oregon Zoo and its partners, in 2011 the Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit bred and successfully gave birth in its historic range for the first time in more than a decade.

We are showing you the US version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
Cyclocross Photography with Tom Robertson
With the world championships this weekend, we thought it the ideal opporunity to showcase the work of another great cyclocross photographer. Tom Robertson helped out last year with a feature about US national cyclocross team coach Geoff Proctor. We met up with Tom in Belgium for a quick Q&A during the Christmas Cross week of racing. He also promised to send through more of his fantastic photos of young Zach McDonald. You can see the photos and a short interview with Zach in the Features section.
How long have you been shooting cyclocross?
Since the 2007 season, when I started getting burned out on racing.
What was the first bike race that you shot?
A local training race in Missoula, Montana.
What differentiates shooting cross from other cycling sports?
Opportunities to shoot the leaders every five to eight minutes, the barriers and run-ups, the slower speeds in sections, the mud, fans (more streakers) and the heavy atmosphere.
What is your favorite format to shoot with?
A Canon 5d and a 50mm fixed.
OK, word association time. What are the first few words that come to mind when you think of cyclocross?
Do you have one particular racer, or category that you like to shoot?
In Belgium, I would generally shoot four individual races on a race day: Juniors; U23; Women's; and Men's Elite. It's easy for me to rip off 1,500 to 2,000 shots during that time. Even though I wasn't focusing on any individual racer, I found I had more images of Zdenek Stybar than anyone else. I think I'm just drawn to that world champion's kit – it's such a beautiful jersey.
What's it like working with the junior program over in Belgium?
Fantastic. The U.S. junior racers are strong and consistently have racers finish in the top 10. Riders like Logan Owen and Andrew Dillman are very close to making an impact on an international level. My time around the juniors also involves being with them away from the race course. Whether it's a card game after dinner, or a bowling tourney at the local alley in Izegem, they cultivate a little bit of home and family. This brings some comfort to traveling and racing on foreign lands and I think it shows in the results.
Muddy and sloppy or dry and fast? (that's a bike racing question)
Definitely muddy and sloppy.
What are the main differences in shooting in Europe compared with cross in the US?
The size of the crowds, the passion of the supporters and the venues. Shooting a race somewhere like Diegem or Loenhout, the crowds can be more than 20,000 in tight spaces – it can be tough to get around the course. Shooting the podium presentation is always a trip in Belgium because of the crowd hoopla, especially if Niels Albert wins and his fans all sing the Niels Albert song. Also, the amount of beer the Belgians can drink is impressive. After the races this always leads to a couple of Belgians getting my attention, then throwing an arm around their buddy and wanting me to take their photograph. They don't want a copy of it, they don't care if it ever gets printed, they just want their photo taken. I have a collection of photographs of random Belgians taken after races. One of the biggest differences, though, is the passion of the supporters. At every race the fans line the finishing straight for 300 to 400 meters and bang as loud as they can on the barriers. It never fails to give me goosebumps.
The US cross scene has boomed in recent years. Who has made a particularly valuable contribution?
Two things come to mind. The first is Geoff Proctor, who brings so much to USA Cylocross. Geoff might start a race day chatting with three-time World Champion Erwin Vervecken at registration, then be at the starting line of the junior race making sure the race officials give the U.S. juniors their proper call-up. After that he'll be working the pit during the Junior, U23 and Elite races. Throughout the day he'll be spotted chatting with everyone from Sven Nys to Lars Boom's dad, to the local media. And before I know it, it's his voice I hear on the loudspeaker. Geoff seems to know most everyone involved, and uses those connections to constantly advance USA Cyclocross
The second contribution is that made by the US in general. Technology is a good example. At all big cyclocross events, spectators swarm around the campers and vans of the racers. When I was in the US's warm-up area at Diegem this year there seemed to be more people coming by than usual. Turned out word had spread about the bikes that U23 rider Yannick Eckmann had, and more specifically, the electronic shifting system. Throughout the morning, USA Mechanics Todd Anderson and Dave Hartman spoke with many people, from Belgian mechanics to seven-time World Champion Erik De Vlaeminck, all about how the shifting worked in the testing cyclocross elements.
Do you have any tips for aspiring cross photographers?
Know the course and keep moving. Even though you might be struck by a particular angle or position on the course, don't stay there more than two laps. If you are focusing on photographing a particular racer, be prepared each lap. Shoot the crowd. Shoot the racers warming up and cooling down. Shoot the vendors selling food and beer. Photographing the day as a story is always more rewarding than just straight-up race shots.
You've already been over to Belgium this year, so who's your pick for the Elite Men's World Champion of 2012?
Sven Nys. While he's had some bad luck in this race over the years, right now he has good form, good health, and he always proves to be the strongest mentally.
That wraps up the latest installment of Rapha cyclocross photography series. If you want to see the others, check out Chris Milliman, Dan Sharp, Brian Vernor, and Geoff Waugh.

old fashioned FTP servers may not be compatible with ftp_connect().
ftp:// -- ftps:// — Accessing FTP(s) URLs
Allows read access to existing files and creation of new files via FTP. If the server does not support passive mode ftp, the connection will fail.
You can open files for either reading or writing, but not both simultaneously. If the remote file already exists on the ftp server and you attempt to open it for writing but have not specified the context option overwrite, the connection will fail. If you need to overwrite existing files over ftp, specify the overwrite option in the context and open the file for writing. Alternatively, you can use the FTP extension.
If you have set the from directive in php.ini, then this value will be sent as the anonymous FTP password.
Versione | Descrizione |
4.3.0 | Added ftps://. |
FTPS is only supported when the openssl extension is enabled.
If the server does not support SSL, then the connection falls back to regular unencrypted ftp.
Nota: Appending
As of PHP 5.0.0 files may be appended via the ftp:// URL wrapper. In prior versions, attempting to append to a file via ftp:// will result in failure.
old fashioned FTP servers may not be compatible with ftp_connect().
$str ="replace all contenents";
$opts = array('ftp' => array('overwrite' => true));
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$strwri = file_put_contents($filew,$str,LOCK_EX,$context);
For Intranet purposes I found I preferred to move my file via ftp functions to match the session user's ftp account and put the file in a holding bay so I knew who it was from.
The FTP wrapper method will NOT do this if your ftp server does NOT support passive mode.
eg. an ftp server behind NAT/routing
Document says "Allows read access to existing files and creation of new files via FTP. If the server does not support passive mode ftp, the connection will fail. "
As of version 5.2.5 at least fopen("ftp://...") uses an ACTIVE mode connection by default (it issues an FTP PORT command but not a PASV command). To force passive mode:
$f = fopen("ftp://...");
ftp_pasv($f, true);

Super Cross 2012: Round Three
Photos by Wig Worland
Hope and Hargroves go to the wire in Ally Pally Finale.
An enthralling encounter in the final round of the Rapha Super Cross Series resulted in defending champions Hope Factory Racing taking the spoils again, but only just.
An estimated 4,000-strong crowd packed Alexandra Palace park for the big finale and were treated to a day of thrilling cyclo-cross racing in the Capital.
Hope went into the final round with a healthy two-point lead, but Hargroves-Specialized and ROTWILD-Forme Coaching rode inspired races on the slippery and hilly terrain to push the series leaders down to third on the day.
Only count back separated the top two squads, with Hope's wins in the two previous rounds at Broughton and Misterton giving them the edge.
The rapidly improving ROTWILD-Forme Coaching squad sealed third in the team standings, led home by under-23 winner Ben Sumner.
Delia Beddis repeated her previous day's victory in Misterton after a strorming last lap to catch Leona Kadir in the women's race.
Once the serious competition was out of the way, entrants in the Fun category were subjected to the compulsory wall of foam and the optional tequila shortcut, both proving popular with the cowbell-toting throng.

However, with the help of a trick room using teammate, escavalier can become the "fastest" Pokemon around. It's massive base 135 attack, further boosted by a choice band, will allow to rip through unprepared teams with its mighty megahorn. He can also easily slay dark types that give some trick room teams trouble. answered May 3 by Miror Bro *Trick Room Spear Ka-POW +1 Please log in or register to add a comment. 4 votes This is a difficult one! Shubarugo has pretty awesome defenses so may as well take advantage of that. Unfortunately the movepool is limited.

Physical attacker- Ability: Swarm EVs: HP and Attack Nature: Brave/Adamant Swords Dance Aerial Ace X-Scissor/Iron Head Giga Impact/Reversal/Return X-Scissor or Iron Head allows for STAB, but each with an added pro - Iron Head has a wider type coverage, but X-Scissor is boosted further by Swarm. Reversal has a good type coverage whilst allowing you to use damage you've taken and hit back, which can be used as a final move. Giga Impact, Return and Aerial Ace both also offer good type coverage, but Giga Impact acts as more of a last resort move when Escavalier is close to fainting, similarly to Reversal, whereas Return offers good power and Aerial Ace devastating accuracy. Physical Wall- Ability: Shell Armour EVs: HP and Defence/Special Defence Nature: Relaxed/Sassy Iron Defence Toxic Reversal Swagger/Rest Toxic allows poison damage, which can be either combined with Swagger for extra confusion damage, or Rest for healing to create a stall. Reversal at low hp followed by Rest allows for decent damage and type coverage, whilst keeping Escavalier as a wall and of course Iron Defence strengthens defence signifcantly. These aren't 100% perfect or flawless, so if anyone wants to feel free to correct/change either of these as they feel like it. answered Apr 23, 2011 by Infusco Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote Swords dance iron head x=scissor toxic answered Apr 24, 2011 by jdm407 Please log in or register to add a comment. 1 vote LC Terror! Item: Salac-berry Ability: No-guard Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 Attack, 252 Speed, 6 Hp Endure Megahorn Flail Faint-Attack For some reason this guy looks to cool to me, I do not know what it is, maybe it was the sweep I did with it during the CC tourney (Different set though) but this guy looks so cool and crazy! Endure is to Activate Salac-berry and power up Flail. Megahorn is strong STAB and because of No-guard has perfect acc. Flail is neutral coverage and becomes super strong at low health. Faint-attack and is mainly their to cover ghost types who would otherwise wall him, and is also pretty much his only other decent Physical Attack that is not the same type(or type coverage) as another one of his moves. Hope you enjoy using this guy :) answered Apr 25, 2012 by Speed freak The only way you're getting one of these with No-Guard is thru an external program or device It is his DW ability, though I do not think it is released yet one can still use it on PO and someday it will be released.

It's Asia's nightmare scenario: War breaking out on the Korean peninsula.
With Korea lying at the heart of Northeast Asia, the world's third largest zone of economic activity after Western Europe and North America, experts say global capital markets would suffer devastating collateral damage, but the catastrophic loss of human life -- and potential nuclear fallout -- would be far, far worse.
Fortunately, no analysts believe "Korean War II" is imminent; the armistice ending the 1950-53 conflict that buried millions continues to hold, despite North Korea's nullification in March. And with regime maintenance Pyongyang's paramount policy, few think it would risk an attack.
But Kim Jong Un's experience and rationality is being questioned following his recent missile and nuclear tests, his annulment of the armistice and his bellicose vitriol -- extreme even by Pyongyang standards.
Despite annulling the armistice, a consistent Pyongyang demand has been a full peace treaty and it also wants direct talks with the United States, which Washington has resisted, preferring instead multilateral discussions.
Agreement with U.S.
Now, North Korea's actions are fueling concern; so much so that South Korea and the U.S. recently announced they had signed an agreement to firm up contingency plans should North Korea follow through on its threats.
It follows joint military exercises between the allies, which included flights by U.S. B-52 bombers over South Korea.
At the time, Pentagon spokesman George Little said the flights were to ensure the combined forces were "battle-trained and trained to employ air power to deter aggression."
Military strategists are clearly preparing for all eventualities. And it seems the South's citizens are also bracing for possible conflict.
The Asan Institute, a Seoul think tank, found that in 2012, ordinary South Koreans of all age groups believed war was more likely than not.
'Invasion unlikely'
At present, a second 1950-style North Korean invasion seems unlikely, but possibilities that could ignite the peninsula tinderbox exist.
"I don't think any parties want all-out war, but scenarios to arrive at that outcome are some kind of miscalculation or inadvertent escalation," said Dan Pinkston, who heads the International Crisis Group's Seoul office. "The problem is that, considering recent developments, the escalation ladder has been getting shorter."
After fatal incidents in 2010, South Korea eased its rules of engagement, enabling speedier counter attacks to Northern attacks such as naval or artillery strikes.
And in February, South Korea's top general told Seoul's National Assembly of plans for pre-emptive strikes if intelligence indicated North Korean nuclear attack preparations.
Pre-emption is critical, given the close proximity of the two Koreas.
"Once we detect long range artillery and missiles being prepared, we would have no choice but to strike," said Kim Byung-ki, a professor at Seoul's Korea University; it takes only three minutes for a North Korean plane to reach Seoul, and under a minute for artillery shells to hit.
America committed
Analysts fear a limited Northern attack might provoke a Southern response, sparking a spiral of escalation and the dreaded "big war." With Seoul and Washington bound by treaty, America would have to commit. "Politically, the U.S. would have to be seen to support South Korea," said James Hardy, Asia Editor at defense publication IHS Jane's. "If it did not, its defense policy in Asia-Pacific would be in tatters."
North Korea's 1.1 million strong Korean People's Army, or KPA, is nearly double the size of the 640,000-person South Korean military and the 28,000 U.S. troops stationed in Korea.
Much of North Korea's military is believed to be decrepit: It lacks fuel, fields outdated equipment, and some troops are undernourished, but it wields two niche threats: special forces and artillery.
In a report in March last year, the commander of U.S. and U.N. forces in South Korea, General James Thurman, warned that North Korea has continued to improve the capabilities of the world's largest special operations force -- highly trained specialists in unconventional, high-risk missions.
Pyongyang fields 60,000 special forces, according to Gen. Thurman -- and more than 13,000 artillery pieces, most of it deeply dug in along the DMZ, and ranged on Seoul; the dense capital sprawls just 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of the border.
Moreover, with its main-force numbers and weight of firepower, the KPA might be able to concentrate offensive units with enough mass to punch across the fortified DMZ, through South Korean second echelon defenses, and barrel toward the Seoul region, an area with 24 million people.

We searched the web's ticket sites high and low, but no one has any tickets available for this event.

Tickets for Music Festivals are sometimes mislabeled by the seller.
Some tickets are for a single day's entry, and some are for multiple days.
Please double-check your tickets before you buy.
SeatGeek's Deal Score is a rating that determines whether a ticket is a bargain or a ripoff. The higher the number, the better the deal. The worst options have the classification Awful Deal, with classifications proceeding all the way up to Amazing Deal (Deal Score of 88 or above). Amazing Deals are exceedingly rare--only 5% of events have one.
When buying tickets for any event on SeatGeek, focus on the tickets with the highest Deal Scores and you can be confident that you're getting a bargain.
For some events on SeatGeek, there are over 10,000 tickets available. It can be quite difficult to sort through all of those tickets and identify the best deals.
This is further complicated by the fact that, when buying tickets for live events, you cannot shop based on price alone. A courtside ticket for $50 is probably a better deal than a bleacher seat for $30, but this might not be apparent if you sorted by price.
Deal Score enables you to make apples-to-apples comparisons among tickets that are in different parts of an arena.
If considering going to one of several events, Deal Score, is also helpful for determining which event has the absolute best deal.

Rick Ross has always styled himself as a tough guy who grew up in Miami's cocaine cowboy-like underworld, mingling with drug traffickers and armed outlaws. The successful rapper has powered his way to the top of the hip-hop world with rhymes about his rags-to-riches life, scraping for food while his mother worked three jobs.
His critics and fellow rappers, however, have been relentless over the years, accusing the self-proclaimed "Boss" of rap of letting his thirst for riches get in the way of the facts of his life.
So when he was caught in a fusillade of bullets on Las Olas Boulevard earlier this week — all of them missing the 300-pound rapper, his girlfriend and the Rolls-Royce they were riding in — it resurrected questions about the real Rick Ross.
Some, including fellow rapper and nemesis 50 Cent, have said it's difficult to believe that anyone firing that many shots would miss such a large target. They essentially accused Ross of staging the shooting to boost his larger-than-life image.
They have good reason to wonder, since Ross has not always adhered to literal truth in his self-portrayals. He was outed in 2008 as once having a respectable career as a Florida prison guard. At first, he denied the notion, but was forced to come clean when The Smoking Gun website printed his Florida Department of Corrections personnel record, which included a citation for perfect attendance. Then a former drug trafficker named "Freeway" Rick Ross sued him for stealing his moniker, which Ross claimed was morphed from his many high school nicknames. The lawsuit further dented Ross' credibility in the rap world.
Fort Lauderdale police are investigating this week's gunfire, and have released few details and have no suspects. But Ross does have his enemies, chief among them a gang named the Gangster Disciples, who have demanded The Boss pay them for using one of their leader's names in his songs. In November, the Florida branch of the gang posted a video threatening to kill him if he doesn't pay up. But the shoot-'em-up has not been tied to the gang.
After the incident, Ross beefed-up his security, but has yet to publicly comment. His lawyer, Allan Zamren, declined to address the matter. His publicist has not returned phone calls.
So who is Rick Ross?
Ross, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts II, came from a middle-class family with educated parents, earned average grades in high school and was a standout football lineman his senior year. He won a football scholarship, became a prison guard, then, suddenly, completely changed gears.
By 2006, Ross at the age of 30 was on the verge of rap mega-stardom. His first two albums debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 album chart. His second single, Push It, was an homage to the movie Scarface. His first album went gold.
Last year, Ross seemed to make it to the pinnacle of his fame as both a rapper and the founder of Maybach Music Group, despite the furor over his past. He made the cover of Rolling Stone, unabashedly shirtless, pants hanging low, wearing his signature dark shades. The headline: "Gangster of Love.''
Ross has been nominated for a Grammy Award this year for best rap album, for his fifth studio album, God Forgives, I Don't.
He is not the only rapper to embellish his image for financial gain. Street cred is part of the theater of rap, an element woven into the fabric of the genre's culture. In fact, rap is often fiction layered with characters. Rappers taking on personas — the kingpin, the baller, the epic lover, are as old as the music genre itself, no different in some ways than movie roles played by actors, said author and scholar Todd Boyd, a University of Southern California professor who specializes in the study of race and popular culture.

Patriots late rally dooms Raiders
Navarre High School's baseball Raiders stranded the tying and winning runs on base Thursday in a 4-2 loss to defending Class 5A champion Pace.
Trailing 4-2 with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, pinch hitter Cale Secondine singled off Patriots' starter Brandon Tyler and went to second on a wild pitch. Gavin Wehby walked and Tyler hit Dusty Jones with a pitch to load the bases before Devante Taylor fouled out to the catcher for the game's last out.
Tyler, a senior, gave up just four hits, walked three, hit three batters and struck out four with his side-arm delivery to earn the seven-inning complete game victory.
Nick Combs pitched two innings in relief and suffered the loss despite not allowing an earned run. A one-out error in the top of the seventh gave Pace runners at the corners. Navarre let Tyler take second before Steven Jernigan, batting for Rusty Way, belted a sacrifice fly to Jacob Terry in right field. Trent Higgenbothem and Tyler tagged and advanced on Terry's throw to third base, which escaped the Raiders' Chris Wheeler, allowing Tyler to score the game's last run.
Brock Secondine pitched five solid innings for the Raiders, allowing one earned run on six hits, two bases-on-balls and two hit batters. He struck out five Pace hitters. The senior worked his way out of a fifth-inning jam when, with one out and runners at second and third, he struck out Way and got Tommy McMillion to ground out to shortstop Kyle Camilli.
Higgenbothem doubled, singled twice and scored the winning run for the Patriots (6-1) in three at-bats and Patrick Ervin was 3-for-4 with a run scored.
Cale Secondine, Wehby, Justin Jordan and Jason Frederick singled for Navarre (4-4, 2-3 in District 1-5A). Combs allowed two hits and didn't walk any batters.
The Raiders play another key district game Friday at Milton. The Panthers beat Navarre 6-2 on Feb. 19 when they scored four two-out runs in the top of the seventh.
