A few years ago, I found the scorecard my grandfather had kept of a September 16, 1904, doubleheader he attended at Boston's Huntington Grounds. He saw Cy Young pitch in the opener for the Boston Americans (now Red Sox) and Jack Chesbro pitch in the second game for the New York Highlanders (now Yankees). A newspaper clipping noted that George Wright, a member of the first openly professional baseball team, the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings, had watched the action that day from the front row. Through my grandfather, I felt connected from the dawn of professional baseball to the latest pitch. The beginning wasn't all that long ago.
I thought of that while reading this book, which tells the stories of members of Meredith Mason Brown's much more illustrious family, filled with generals, diplomats, and political leaders. "As a nation," he writes, "we're not that old." Through the stuff we have saved, and the stories our ancestors have passed down, we can still reach out and almost touch each other.
Touching America's History is structured ingeniously around 20 objects that Brown, esteemed biographer of Daniel Boone, has in his possession: historically evocative artifacts ranging from a Pequot stone ax to a compass carried by a pioneering ancestor to a letter written by George Washington and so on, up to the escapist Western novel that was read by General Eisenhower in a supremely high-stress situation as he waited for the weather to break before the D-Day invasion . . . and a piece of Adolf Hitler's shattered toilet bowl. Many were passed down by family members. Taken together, they tell a remarkably rich story of America.
"I do better in history when it becomes concrete and personal to me," writes Brown. "History is not abstract ideas or theories. . . . History is the sum of actions of individual human beings. . . . If we can be in touch with those human beings—if they become concrete to us—history comes alive."
Many of these family-centric stories throw a vivid light on some odd corners of familiar events. Some may be of more gripping interest to family members than to the general public, though Brown bravely weaves them into the bigger picture. A beauty of this book is that he strives to avoid sugarcoating both his family and America itself. Greed and cruelty emerge here, alongside bravery and determination, as all are essential ingredients in the nation's story.
One of Brown's many telling anecdotes focuses on the role that surveying played in preparing the Western states for white settlement. The ever-pragmatic George Washington makes an appearance here in surveying for promising land tracts to claim so that he could reap fabulous wealth at a later date. As he wrote in 1771, "What Inducements have Men to explore uninhabited Wilds but the prospect of getting good Lands?" He virtually ignores a 1763 colonial bar on claiming lands west of the Alleghenies, intended to placate Indians. As he writes to another land speculator in 1767:
I can never look upon that Proclamation in any other light (but this I say between ourselves) than as a temporary expedient to quiet the Minds of the Indians [that] must fall of course in a few years. . . . Any person therefore who neglects the present opportunity of hunting out good Lands & in some Measure Marking and distinguishing them for their own (in order to keep others from settling them) will never regain it.
In this setting of feverish land speculation amidst murderous Indian attacks, Brown's ancestor Colonel William Preston helps survey and settle Kentucky. Brown's bristling great-uncle, the decorated World War I general Preston Brown, turns up, shooting a Filipino man in the back and facing the loss of his military career, or much worse. The incident vividly captures the ugliness of "pacifying" the Philippines at the turn of the last century, the terribly dangerous environment our young soldiers faced there, and the immense worth of superb family and political connections in such a crisis. The author remembers his uncle, in retirement, as a "kindly old bald man. In Martha's Vineyard, he wore immaculate white shirts, white trousers, and white bucks, and he would let me crawl up in his lap while he read me the newspaper."
An unspoken lesson of this entertaining volume is to save things that speak silently of the past. And listen to your older relatives about the world they have witnessed.

As most readers here no doubt know, Mormon academic and author Stephen R. Covey died earlier this week. Covey was best known for his highly popular self-help book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, which earned him fame and fortune, as well as some detractors. His death, together with the fact that my bookclub is currently reading Viktor Frankl's influential book Man's Search for Meaning and that I came across an old conference talk drawn from a self-help book, led me to ponder a bit about Covey's influence and self-help books in general and the influence that...

Topic: Poisonous Plants
Title: Are Chanticleer flowering pears toxic to horses?
Answered by: Nan Hampton
Are Chanticleer flowering pears toxic to horses?ANSWER:
Pyrus calleryana 'Chanticleer' (Chanticleer pear) is one of several cultivars of an ornamental pear native to Japan and Korea.
I could not find any information specific to the Chanticleer pear and the only poisonous plants lists were from Washington State. On a list called "Poisonous Plants of Washington State" from Cowlitz County Washington, Pyrus spp. are listed and the list states that the seeds, leaves and bark are poisonous to humans, cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine, poultry, but not to pets. (This seems a bit strange to me that it is poisonous to all others, but NOT pets!) The poisonous effects are said to be:
"Rapid breathing leading to low and difficult breathing, anxiety, excitement, confusion, headache, vomiting, dizziness, can cause death."
Pierce Conservation District in Pierce County, Washington has a similar list, "Common Poisonous Plants of Western Washington Which Affect Livestock", but have included the Pyrus spp. with the Prunus spp. (apricots, peaches, cherries, etc.) and Malus spp. (apples).
None of the other poisonous plant databases listed below list any Pyrus species, but all or them list Prunus species. Only two of the lists below (ASPCA and Poisonous Plants of North Carolina) show Malus spp.
Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List—Horses
Poisonous Plants of North Carolina
Cornell University Plants Poisonous to Livestock
University of Pennsylvania Poisonous Plants
Canadian Poisonous Plants Information System
So, given this information, I don't know exactly how to advise you. However, I think caution would be the best advice. If your horse is in the pasture with the tree, you should consider the size of the enclosure and how much natural food is available for the horse. If there is lots of room with adequate forage for the horse, it probably won't interact with the tree or any of its parts to any extent. If it is a small inclosure with little other greenery, then it is probably not a good idea for the tree to be there. If the pear is outside the enclosure but has limbs that hang over the pasture and drop leaves or fruit, you probably want to remove those regularly and keep close watch to see that the horse is not spending a great deal of time in the area of the tree.

Harbor Point $107M tax deal draws support, criticism at lengthy public hearing
Public hearing process will be extended into August
- Kevin Litten
- Reporter- Baltimore Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
City Councilman Carl Stokes said Wednesday that he will extend a public hearing on the $107 million Harbor Point tax increment financing plan into August, a move that will lengthen a testy debate over the wisdom of publicly financing an upscale $1 billion waterfront development.
Residents and neighborhood advocates used Wednesday's first public hearing on the TIF to sharply question the city's strategy of using public financing to spur development. Dozens of protesters from union groups also rallied against the tax incentive outside City Hall before the lengthy hearing. But Baltimore Development Corp. officials, armed with the promise of 3,300 new jobs over the short-term and $19 million in new tax revenue annually over the long-term, forcefully defended the proposal.
Harbor Point developer Beatty Development Group LLC's agreement signed late last month with the city that took steps to ensure broad minority and women-owned business participation also helped rally support for the TIF, as several minority advocates testified in favor of the 28-acre project. That testimony helped mute criticism leveled during a public hearing on separate Harbor Point-related legislation on July 10 when residents portrayed Beatty Development as a rich developer with little regard for aiding the poor communities of East Baltimore near Harbor Point.
"They allowed us to sit at the table and do inclusion in this project," said Pless Jones Sr., president of the Maryland Washington Minority Companies Association. "I applaud them for their outreach and everything they've done to include us."
Y. Maria Martinez, chairwoman of the Governor's Commission on Hispanic Affairs, offered similar praise.
The first phase of the project, between Fells Point and Harbor East, is set to include a 23-story tower for the regional headquarters of Exelon Corp. (NYSE: EXC). Developer Michael Beatty has said the development, as a whole, would not move forward without the tax deal.
But some City Council members said they still have a raft of questions about the details in the TIF legislation. Committee on taxation Chairman Carl Stokes, who introduced the legislation that prompted last week's hearing on benefits for the Perkins Homes housing project four blocks north of Harbor Point, said he doesn't believe the BDC has met the city's benchmark for proving the need for a TIF.
That benchmark requires the developer to show a project cannot move forward without public financing. Darrell Doan, the BDC's managing director of real estate development, said the analysis provided clearly outlines Harbor Point could not attract private investment without the $107 million in public financing for infrastructure; Stokes said he begged to differ.
"We're going to have an very strong disagreement," Stokes said, adding that he wants to find "as many objective people as we can to have in the room to talk about this. It's not what I'm hearing about at all."
City residents and council members attending the hearing sharply questioned the need for more than half of the $107 million to go toward public parks. Councilman William H. Cole IV said he was particularly concerned about "dumping $60 million into parks" when the city could barely maintain the parks it already has.
There were also questions about whether the City Council could require inclusionary housing to be offered as part of Harbor Point's residential development. When significant public financing is at play, city legislation requires residential development to set aside 20 percent of housing for affordable and "moderate" rents.
The BDC said it believes that under city legislation, Harbor Point is exempt from the requirement because of the cost of developing such housing; Stokes vowed to introduce amendments that would ensure an inclusionary housing provision.
Even with the committee's questions, City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young said Wednesday that he was strongly in support of the plan because of the jobs the project can offer.
"I support it 199 percent and I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure it passes," Young said.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake introduced the TIF legislation for Harbor Point.

England name 55-man training squad
ESPN Staff
August 10, 2014

Stuart Lancaster has named a 55-man squad for a training camp in Loughborough which begins on Sunday and lasts until Wednesday. The main purpose of the camp will be to assess England's 3-0 series loss in New Zealand while it will also give Lancaster and the rest of his coaches the opportunity to run the rule over their players ahead of unveiling the new Elite Player Squad in October. There are a number of players included in the group who missed out on the tour to New Zealand through injury - Anthony Allen, Alex Corbisiero, Tom Croft, George Ford, Mako Vunipola and Christian Wade - while Jackson Wray makes his first appearance. Tom Youngs returns after missing the tour to New Zealand due to personal reasons. "This camp will give us a chance to get the wider squad together and an opportunity to review the New Zealand tour," Lancaster said. "It will be an important few days for us in terms of complementing the work that the clubs have been doing in pre-season with their strength and conditioning but also from a rugby point of view. The next time we meet will be two weeks before we play New Zealand in the autumn Internationals so this time together is vital." And Lancaster also praised the role of Premier Rugby and the RFU in allowing him to delay the announcement of his new EPS. Last summer Lancaster named his squad in August but after talks between the various stakeholders in the English game, he has been allowed to delay this to allow him to see the players in action at the start of the season. Lancaster said: "In collaboration with Premiership Rugby we have been given the flexibility to announce the England Senior and Saxons squads in October, much closer to our four international matches in November. "We appreciate their support of our proposal which enables time to assess the first part of the club season and therefore select players who are in form leading into an important series for us. It also allows an opportunity for players not involved in the training camp this week to put down a marker in terms of their performances ahead of the squad announcement."

DALLAS -- Speaking to WEEI.com by phone Wednesday night, David Ortiz confirmed that he will be accepting the Red Sox offer of arbitration.
It a procedure that the designated hitter said wasn't what he had planned on executing when his free agency period started.
"Not really," said Ortiz when asked if the end result of his free agent period was expected. "I wasn't expecting that, but things happen.
"It was a [hard decision], but sometimes things happen."
Ortiz, who did admit that he began to believe he would be accepting arbitration over the last few days, said he was not aware that the Red Sox had increased their two-year offer, which one source told WEEI.com was worth $9 million per season. The same source suggested the DH was looking for a two-year deal paying him $12.5 million per year.
While Ortiz' representatives will continue to negotiate with the Red Sox, seeking a multi-year deal, the designated hitter relayed that he viewed at least one positive out of the recent resolution.
"The good thing," he said, "is that it looks like I'll be playing in front of the Boston fans for another year."
By accepting arbitration, Ortiz has guaranteed himself a raise for the 2012 season from the $12.5 million he made in '11. The Red Sox have not gone through with an arbitration hearing since '02.

In 2012, a Swedish drama called "Äkta människor" (Real Humans) became a hit science fiction show about very human-like robots and the issues that come with that level of technology. Now, "Humans" — based on the Swedish show — is set to be shown on BBC channel 4 and later this year on the AMC channel.
I have not seen "Real Humans," but the video below was shown a few years ago. Household and family robots are in demand, so it's only a matter of time. Whether they will be made to look like or act like humans or not is another matter.
Frankly, in my writing I have not been too trustful of robots that look like humans. If you are interested in the subject — like I am — you might enjoy "Humans" when it comes to U.S. television later this year. You might also enjoy reading my short story, "Like Mother, Like Son" about human-like robots, in my science fiction anthology "Science Fiction: Robots & Cyborgs."

Seidio unveils Expert Portfolio Case for iPad

Sorry man but you still believe we live in a world from the 1970s and we are in 2013 new laws against racism has change since then. I suppose you same as Paula Deen believe that calling someone "N" it's normal-old thugs will continue being racist due to their way their Nazis parents thought them sadly for them new laws against racism has passed since the 1900s.<quoted text>
Well I did not make this up at all, my Friend and you show just how ignorant you really are, these are facts from the well known and unbiased United States Government accountability Office; in reports created for members of Congress. here are just some take a look at them sometime, That why I keep mentioning you fucking stupid racist ass clowns should do some research instead of shooting off your Racist mouths with unsupported Knee Jerk Reactions.
I never brought RACE into it YOU Did, I was Complaining about Crimes by Illegal Aliens versus Crimes by Citizens,
Millions of Crimes that would not happen to Illegals or to Citizens if we simply controlled our Borders. You are the one that keeps mentioning they are crimes done by Brown people not White people, I am not so sure why you bring Race into it each and every time.
Are you ashamed of something ? a little self loathing perhaps ??
Each and every one of those Rapes and murders and robberies and violent crimes were tradgedies that were easily preventable.
also if there were not Millions and Millions of Illegal Aliens here the police would have a lot more time, money and energy to pursue
Citizens who committed Crimes.

"f9cking stupid racist ass clowns should do some research instead of shooting off your Racist mouths with unsupported Knee Jerk" That's exactly who you are and what you should do but do not bring old links as we do not live in the 1900s. "crimes committed by illegals" it's not okay with you, but it's okay for you that there are lot of American child molest3rs teaching in public schools where most parents send their kids to learn, huh! It's all over the media most of the child molesters in public schools are AMERICANS! |
Jun 22, 2013
ou filthy wetrbacks are really about and whta you all really do. LOL you failed to address any of the Material in the Links; shows that your comprehension level and ability to debate ideas is severely limited. yes one link is to some very old information. I threw that in to demonstrate that the problem is a very long term problem and that much of what is going on now in 2013 has been going on since the late 70's or earlier. It is also interesting to note they use the same 11 million illegal alien number that is still being used today. That is a bit odd. You failed to address the Disproportionate amount of Crime you and your filthy Brethren bring to America. It is amazing if you look at the list of California's most wanted you will find it is well over 50% illegal alien. if you look at the FBI's 10 most wanted it is about 40% illegal alien. if you look at the other FBI top ten lists of Various Criminals by Category you will find 50% or Higher numbers in almost all the Catagories, especially murders and rapes. Sex Crimes list I think is like 70% Illegal Alien. All this from a group of guys you would have us believe are just Honest hard working folks who just want to feed their families and mean no harm and that simply take jobs Americans don't want. As if they are doing us some kind of Favor.... LOL this group is less than 3% of the Population yet they top out all the lists of the most wanted Criminals Rapists Kidnappers child predators etc. and they also make up about 27% of ALL prisonors in America. Out of that group about 68% are in for Violent Crimes or Drugs NOT Immigration related Offenses. So can your Stupid ass even address the fact that 3% of the population is responsible for so much Mayhem ? som many Rapes and Murders so many Child molestation's ??? When was the last time you heard about an American RAping a Dog of Fucking a One month Old baby Girl to death ? eh Assclown ?? You cant seem to adress any of these issues.. you just come back calling me a Nazi.... LOL what a Joke. You are an Imbecile.... one wetback in Albuquerque, literally fucked a one month old baby girl to death. Her internal organs were crushed to death by his wetback dick being forced all the way up her ass and vagania. She died from massive organ failure These are the Sick Bastards Obama and other Libtards want to reward with a path to citizenship This is what one of your Cousins did,are you proud filthy wetback? are you going to march in the Street waving the Mexican Flag demanding more rights for you and your Baby raping cousins?? |
Jun 22, 2013
Who's betback? You cuz sure isn't me ha ha ha-you racist pos think everyone who disagree with Nazis are webackks and nope we are not!! Too bad I can't say samethingn about your illegal ancestor who swimmed on a boat-I suppose that makes you anchor ratt hahaha. Your are extremely racist and do not wish to continue a conversation with Nazis who do nothing but called other peoples names base on their race. I know what you're trying to say with the links but you're so back behind in the early 1900s when slaves were treated worse than gods now-ironicly now you have Afro-american president and you can't take him out of the white house until his term is complete then another democrat will win the latino vote, you must hate that-sorry but that's out of hand and can't control anyone anymore and the more insults and racial remarks comes from Nazis like yourself the more behind the whithies will be left behind hahahahahaha and more hahahahaha. |
Jun 22, 2013
"liberals" will continue to vote for the non-racist so get use to see more democrats in the white house hahaha. You can't control your filthy mouth can you? According to the real Americans you Europeans are the real wettbacck and invadeds, don't blame me for what they say just go to youtubes and you will se how much they despise you hahaha. |
Jun 22, 2013
Links from the 70s saying illegal immigration it's been a problem since then yet they blame Obama for it- as if illegal immigration started in Obama's presidency tem-too many contradictions right there. According to the American Indians illegal immigration has happen since the "Europeans" invaded this land-they were not invited yet they stayed. Other races moving in and they despise that as the Nazis wish to be white land when it was never "white" in the first place-but they're too ignorant and full of hate that they can't see that, I feel sorry for them as they probably will commit hate crimes against other races-unfortunately for them they will have to face the law for that-now days hateful crimes aren't left behind.
Jun 22, 2013
Your percentage are false again no links to show the percentage you claiming are truth just your hate and Nazi racism towards the darken skin. You dumb people believe all brown skinned people are illegal aliens and that's completely false but you know that. Stop being so ignorant and stpidd you make other white americans look bad. |
Jun 23, 2013
See, I just schooled you, nortenos and surenos are ethnically Mexican... you can stop your crying. Yes I bring up gangs that are primarily Mexican because that's how it is in the Mexican culture here in the states. Yes Chinese, Italians, whites, etc have their gangs but its not culture thing like it is with Mexicans. Just go to ANY Mexican neighborhood here in California (or any state) and you'll find gangs... you can't say that about others. Another good example is schools with a lot on Mexicans, the school is usually under performing, has high drop out rate and is infested with gangs... not Chinese, not Italian but Mexican gangs. You make it too easy man. All I have to do is tell the truth. You can pretend to laugh all you want but I know you're pissed at me cause I tell it like it really is |
Jun 23, 2013
Are you taking about the Spanish Europeans? The ones that took over Mexico? I know the English came to the north, but the Spanish came and raped the south. |
Jun 23, 2013
I do know Trader Joes treat their customers pretty well, white, black, Brown, gay, it don't matter. Maybe that's why the parking lot is always clean and well kept. The funny part is that you'll find gang graffiti at Mi Pueblo but not at Trader Joes... ha ha ha what does that tell you? BTW, non ghetto Mexicans go to Trader Joes |
Jun 23, 2013
Is that all you have now? The racist card? You can't discuss immigration in a civil manner any more or are you just bowing down to the facts? Dude, I'm just trying like it is and you just keep coming up with excuses. Don't get mad dude. |
Jun 23, 2013
You know what due, you're the worst ignorant norteno aka white wannabes in other words you're belong to a gang that the only thing they know what to do is commit crimes, I'm not and do not wish to discuss any issues with criminals. Have a nice time discriminating, insulting, post your racism online I bet you don't have the balls to go near the border to say what you have said here! BTW while mi pueblo has 100 people shopping your trader joes has 25, which store sells more, not trader Joe Again you lose. You too ignorant to understand that for business it's not who's has graffitis what's the cleanest place it's who's making big bucks and it's not trader joes. No ghetto Hispanics are talking about yourself? No doubt-since when the nortenos are not ghetto? All the do it's go out at night to neighborhoods braking into peoples cars steal whatever they find in it then go kill other gangs members that's not ghetto? Perhaps you're right "your not ghetto" the best word will be "criminals" |
Jun 23, 2013
I don't get mad at all, I just dislike exchanging words with racist pos online. Most likely you won't be saying this near a border. Nortenos are whites wannabes, and do hate the ones from south sadly they come from one perhaps even from illegal aliens-their frustration is normal due they are not wanted by "white community nor they are wanted by other latinos" well that's what you get for acting as Nazis when you have different race-sadly the Nazis do not want your assess either. It's pitiful and sad cuz that's what their kids are going to learn. The bad thing about all this it's that the new America has new laws against racist most likely they will end up in trouble in other words you don't know the damage you going to do to your kids teaching that kind of stuff. Anyhow that will be your problem not mine. |
Jun 23, 2013
NOPEdumbazz! You keep twisting things when someone else it's telling the truth and you look like an idiot! I see you are beyond ignorant, I never mentioned "Spanish" on that post was talking about the Europeans who took over this land, you dumbazz. you lose again ha ha ha. My time with you it's up-I refuse to talk to a beyond ignorant fool like you ha ha ha. |
Jun 23, 2013
You mentioned that most of your family are Nortenos-I found this for you, also talk to few people today they've told me "most of Nortenos are anchor babies from illegal aliens, and rely on gov assistance aka welfare" No wonder you said there were lot of Mexicans in wic, welfare office that's what your "familia" did. Thanks for letting me know that you come from the ghetto side of mexicans, but that does not mean all Mexicans are the same as your "familia" lot of them do come here to work and never rely on gov to support their kids. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norte%C3%B1os |
Jun 23, 2013
this guy just got caught who he is LMFFAO@HIM. Too ignorant, that's what illegal drugs do lmffao!
Jun 23, 2013
Twist things around??? HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!! Yes pendejo, the Spanish ARE Europeans! Damn I didn't know you were that stupid. Ever wonder why Mexicans have Spanish last names? You give up because you're too stupid, it's hard for you to post legitimate comments. Ha ha ha @ > YOU < |
Jun 23, 2013
Yep, I know the reality first hand... I know everything I post pisses people off... nortenos along with surenos (La Eme) are ghetto, that's what America sees in Mexicans. And yes there are hard working Mexicans that come here (my immediate family) then there's the vast majority que la cagan. just go do any neighborhood where the majority is Mexican and you'll find ghetto trash gang bangers |
Jun 23, 2013
Boy you are the dumbest poster on topix. I knew the Spanish are Europeans but did not mentioned the Spanish anywhere on my post. Europe refers to many countries but never mentioned Spanish, I was referring to the white Europeans who invaded the Indians territory in this country. And yes you are the dumbest, the Spanish took over mexico that's true but I wasn't talking about mexico you dumbazz norteno aka anchor kids hahahaha. |
Jun 23, 2013
You lie, lie and lie-you told me that your most of your family are Nortenos meaning you are ghetto and ashamed of were you come from. Sadly for you, you aren't excepted with the whites nor you are excepted with the Mexicans due to your racism towards them and they know that-shame you don't fit no where hha ha ha. |

Invoking Lennie as its benchmark, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals announced rules that fail to protect persons with intellectual disability from execution. Because of these unscientific and fictional standards, Robert Ladd, a man who has an IQ of 67, faces the death chamber this Thursday.
I've been waiting a lifetime for a film like Black or White. Growing up biracial in the mid-70s and late 80's, I wondered when I would get to see myself up there on the big screen too. Where were the blended interracial families like mine?
I am disheartened by the decision made by Senator John Cornyn, the incoming Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights, to remove "Civil Rights" and "Human Rights" from the name of the Subcommittee.
As the minority-majority population becomes more of a reality, Hollywood has to go through a metamorphosis. I would guess that most smart executives know this and are looking for the kinds of partnerships that will keep them relevant. We must seize this opportunity and break down the tough walls of segregation in Hollywood.
As we reflect on Black History month, we must truly be proud of the contributions of the African Americans in every aspect of our society. African Americans, despite their history of oppression and exclusion, remain committed to America.
It is a national disgrace that so many poor children live in the United States of America -- the world's richest economy. It doesn't have to be this way. It's costly. And it's the greatest threat to our future national, economic and military security.
The songbirds whose drama reaches as high as the notes they hit are back for a third season of TV One's hit series, R&B Divas: LA.
Do you know your AGI from your ARM from your PMI? Or does the mere mention of those acronyms make you go, "Huh?" If you don't speak personal finance, don't worry -- we're here to help.
We often think that issues are irrelevant because they do not directly affect us, but we forget that we can easily be the ones in an unfortunate situation at any moment.
The 13th Amendment and the abolition of slavery is clearly worthy of celebration. Yet abolition did not have to take so long, do so little, or at such an awful cost.
For change to happen, we must focus our resources on mechanisms of support. There is another way forward that does not involve punishment or jail. It's time to stop criminalizing victims and provide help instead.
"I don't have celebrities in my phone or on my speed dial. When I finish The Wendy Williams Show I head back home to New Jersey. I like to be home with my family."
This is not just an educational but an economic issue and as such, every segment of society should support the president's efforts to find ways to expand early childhood education access for all children.
This is about more than awards deferred; it is about dreams deferred. It is about the lack of racial and gender diversity we find both behind the screen and in front of it. It is about the inevitable way the Academy's membership roll directly influences who gets nominated and who wins.
A gulf remains today in our nation between the "haves" and "have-nots," and there are few examples as glaring as the disparities that exist in our public schools.
We need to tell new stories. We need to see new actors who look, sound and act like the real America. Racism is not just a concept. It is as staring down at us from the big and small screens.
More than 86 percent of students in Maryland are earning diplomas within four years, a record-high graduation rate for the state, according to data released Tuesday. Maryland state officials celebrated the achievement, noting that the rate has risen more than four percentage points since 2010.
I stayed away from my country for 11 years, raising my three daughters in the calm and safety of Canada. I decided I could not let everything my husband tried to achieve be forgotten or destroyed. When I landed back in Mogadishu, I was amazed by what I saw. And what shocked me most was what had happened to women.
Tasia has lost some cool points on this one, and a with a dude working in a T-Mobile store chile please. Since she claims to be a God fearing woman then she should be familiar with "You reap what you sow! Under no circumstances to do mess with another persons spouse!
amen to that!!!!! regardless of the situation...he was a married man, fantasia should have known better. All I have to say, is karma is a b@tch, and it WILL bite her in the ass in the end.
Sad but true; she even felt so good about herself she called that man's wife to taunt her about it like what she did was amazing.
Earth to Fantasia: He's only dealing with you for the perks and ass...I'm sure those vacations you take are all on your dime and he gets all the sex he wants while still hooking up with more attractive women OTHER than his wife.
this is sad. and u RIGHT. IF she knew the LORD or HIs WORD, she would understand that ADULTRY is a no-no...on top of the fact that when she do decide to settle down, there's gonna be a FANTASIA out there for her azz to sleep w/HER husband & taunt HER about it just like she doin'!
even worse, when mr.Tmobile is done bangin' her out & gettin' her for her money, he'll probly end up goin back to his family & goin on some talk show, writing a book about it & live happily ever after on her! SMH!!!!
Trust me when I say, we all beleive we are the one to make him faithful. He will never be true to her.
First and foremost, I am a Fantasia fan. This is none of my business and whatever happened/didn't happen during Antwaun's marriage, is between he and his wife. Adding Tasia to the mix/lawsuit, sounds so gold-digger-ish. Deal with your husband, Paula. You see what happened to Dwayne Wade's wife, she didn't get to keep the man or her kids!!! If he don't want you, he just don't.
yeah it was between husband and wife until Fantasia was making phone calls to the wife.. u didn't mention that.. she planted herself in between their marriage.. she's at fault to.. he didn't cheat w/himself..
women need 2 respect women.. men will pen women against each other and still land on top if u let them..
the wife should divorce his ass and suing fantasia isn't such a bad idea..
only if it applies to everyone that has an affair with married men. I mean should all 998 women that slep with tiger be sued? HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
TO Sus7637 WHEN DID I SAY THAT I DON,T LIKE BLACK WOMEN?I LOVE BLACK WOMEN, BUT IF U DON,T LOOK GOOD TO ME U JUST DO,NT LOOK GOOD,AND I BET U WAS SAYING THE SAME THING ABOUT FLAVOR FLAW BUT I GUESS U WOULD MAKE A SEX TAPE WITH HIM.!
