I'm writing to raise awareness of a terrible affliction that many Kansas City Chiefs' fans suffer from, some right here on AP, and to see if we can all come together to find a cure for this problem. This serious ailment to the mental capacity of fans is called Cassel Syndrome. The symptoms of this virus consist of a chronic inability to place blame on or hold accountable to the responsible person and attempt to shift blame to other parties. Early studies showed this syndrome to only apply towards discussions of Matt Cassel, where the name of the syndrome originated, with rare occassions of them being applied to other players. However, recent studies and signs indicate that Cassel Syndrome is spreading rapidly to discussions of the firing of Todd Haley. Media, bloggers, and fans alike seem to be affected by this in large numbers, and now is the time to do everything we can to get aid to those affected.
The origins of Cassel Syndrome started in 2009 with the beginning of Matt Cassel's tenure in Kansas City. Studies have found that the virus quickly affected the majority of Chiefs' fans within that first year, as many just couldn't hold Cassel responsible for his poor play, myself included, as the team around him was clearly terrible. The syndrome started to clear up through 2010 and was largely unnoticed with better play through most of the season. Small numbers of cases had been reported late in 2010, and began circulating in larger numbers early 2011. With continued terrible play and total regression from 2010 to 2011, Cassel Syndrome had been largely eradicated and sole blame had been laid at Cassel's feet by most fans.
With recent developments of Todd Haley's firing as head coach of the Chiefs, an alarming number of cases of Cassel Syndrome have been reported from all over the country. People everywhere suddenly came down with the symptoms of placing blame on everyone except Todd Haley for his release. We may be at the threshold of an epidemic sweeping across the fandom and media coverage of this team, so we need to act fast.
While Cassel Syndrome in correlation with Matt Cassel himself usually involved blaming several other factors/players for his terrible play, the virus has seemed to mutate and is causing people to aim the brunt of their blame for Todd Haley's failures at one specific person, and that is Scott Pioli.
With a bit of very simple research, we can hopefully find the cure to this problem. Scott Pioli hired Todd Haley as his first head coach being a GM. That right there should tell you enough to know that Pioli hitched his wagon to Haley, and any failure on Haley's part would reflect negatively on himself. That sounds like incentive enough to believe that Pioli would do everything in his power to ensure Haley was successful.
Exploring the actions from Pioli to help Haley, there was much dead weight released, many key players signed and traded for starting and depth positions, star players drafted, quality coaches brought in, what more could be asked for from a GM from his head coach? If you are unsure how to answer this question, and if you see this in your mind as what Pioli has been doing the last 3 seasons:
then you may need to be checked for Cassel Syndrome.
Pioli could have done no more than what we know for a fact he had done for Haley before his firing. On the other hand, in some CIA-style, black ops type of missons, it's quite possible that he actually had done more than we realize for Haley to get some wins this season.
Does anyone think Pioli blackmailed the Minnesota Vikings front office into trading for a washed-up, completely inept Donovan McNabb by threatening to release proof that Brett Favre, while in Minnesota, was actually already drawing Social Security before being officially retired?
Do you think Pioli has actually caused the set back to Peyton Manning's recovery from neck surgery by having Willie McGinest sneak into his bedroom at night and attack Peyton while he had put on his football gear in front of the mirror and was remembering the good ole days?
Do you think Pioli made a deal with Tim Tebow to cause the Philip Rivers fumble on Halloween in Arrowhead in exchange for his soul?
I think that the conspiracy theorist symptom that is connected with Cassel Syndrome in believing their was a "feud" or "rift" between Pioli and Haley could get on board with all of those theories.
Hopefully, the firing of Haley doesn't continue to gestate and harbor Cassel Syndrome, and the cure for this illness can be spread just as fast as the illness itself has seem to spread. Scott Pioli, as a GM, wanted Haley to succeed, if for none other than self-gradifiying reasons, and to think otherwise is a deeper case of Cassel Syndrome than can be cured here, and you should seek more intense treatment at your local bar. Todd Haley deserved to be fired, and while injuries to important players and some turnover in the coaching staff can be attributed to his demise, I implore you to cede to this quote by a fellow AP member who has been blessingly free of Cassel Syndrome: if you have to make up excuses for the coach, his job is already lost.

The Ottawa Senators continue a gruelling stretch this evening when they play host to the best team in the Western Conference, the San Jose Sharks.
The Sharks are 9-1-1 through their first eleven games, including a 3-2 win over the Senators back on October 12 in San Jose. The Sharks have a league best +25 goal differential and have been chewing teams up in the early part of this season. They are coming off a 2-0 win last night in Montreal.
With a team as good as the Sharks, who were my preseason pick to make the Finals from the West by the way, there really is never a "good" time to play them but this might be as ideal as it gets for the Sens. Not only are the Sharks playing the second game of a back to back, with less than 24 hours between start times, but there are also featuring a goalie making his first start in the NHL. Alex Stalock is expected to get the nod for San Jose in what will be his first action of the season.
On the surface that seems like a good thing for the Sens but as Frederik Andersen showed us on Friday night, a goalie making his first start isn't necessarily a good thing.
The Senators will make at least one change to their line up as Patrick Wiercioch is expected to draw back in on defence. He'll take the place of Eric Gryba who followed up a solid performance in Detroit with his worst outing of the season against the Ducks.
(UPDATE 2:54 PM)- Without a morning skate, it's not entirely clear how the Senators will line up. However it does sound as though Pageau will draw into the lineup while Clarke MacArthur misses this game due to injury. Here is how the Sens are expected to line up.
Craig Anderson will get the start in the Ottawa goal. Puck drop is scheduled for just after 5:00 PM and there are still some good tickets up for grabs. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday evening if you ask me.

Finn Oliver Julian – Day #1
Okay I'm going to backdate this a bit as I have a chunk of photos of the wonderful new arrival that I want to add. Here are a few shots from his first day in the world. These are slightly confronting if you haven't ever been to a prenatal ward – which we definitely hadn't before Finn.
Suffice to say that there are a lot of machines and wires and tubes etc all in a halo around the humidicrib, which is where he spent his first day. There are also a huge number of really great people who you automatically knew that you could rely on and who really know what they are doing, so that side of things was absolutely amazing.

It's been a little over two years since Rammstein last came and conquered London – and setting the an early benchmark for "Gig Of The Year" in the process. Tonight they are back at a bigger venue – with rumours of an even bigger stage show. Our man Amit Sharma thought he'd head down and see if they really could top that performance he caught last time round. Or at the very least, to see if he could get "spunked" on….
Now i've just got Protest the Hero, Rise to Remain, Skindred, Judas Priest, Download and Isle of Wight to go in 2012..plus whatever else comes up that I can afford in that time. Needless to say I need something for the latter half of the year.
But it'll take something to top Rammstein last night. Wow.
So yeah that was one of the many batshit crazy things that happened tonight. Probably the best gig ever now I come to think of it.
I was here, was so drunk I barely remember this though. Re-live it tonight.
Gonna get burnt tonight..

Guam - It was a labor of love as hundreds of GovGuam employees and community members volunteered for Adopt-A-School. Fresh paint, working air conditioning units and cut grass are just some of the things J.Q. San Miguel Elementary School students will see when they start the new school year on August 20.
The Home of the Eagles was one of dozens of public schools to receive some TLC over the weekend as part of Governor Eddie Calvo's directive for all public sector agencies to volunteer their time to prepare school campuses for opening. Calvo's office adopted the Toto school. Lieutenant Governor Ray Tenorio said, "We work every single day for the people of Guam, coming out on a Saturday, Sunday to do beautification for the Islandwide Beautification Task Force is what we do."
Principal Tricia Moylan was happy to see the volunteers level out a pile of dirt in the school yard. Now her students will have the opportunity to grow their own plants. "For several years now we've had a pile of soil in the back of the school and we wanted to really start a children's garden where the kids can plant and watch it grow and see the product of what they planted and finally we're able to do that with the help of the governor's staff today," she told KUAM News.
Department of Education superintendent Jon Fernandez joined the governor's staff and school volunteers bright and early Saturday morning. He's looking forward to more work in the coming weekends, including a last day for touchups at his "Team-Up to Clean-Up 2012" scheduled for August 18.
He said, "We're reaching out and trying to get volunteers to come out and donate their manpower. Just show their support for the schools help with the painting some of the cleanup; we're reaching out to businesses for supplies if its financial donations that they can give to help purchase supplies. We're actually just eager and waiting for anyone who wants to help. We'll sort it out as we go along, but right now it's about building support for our school system and getting ready to welcome our kids for the coming school year."
To volunteer call Robb Malay at 300-1631/1536 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

How old is too old to get behind the wheel of a car?
It can be an agonizing issue among families with elderly drivers. And while it's already been known that, after teenagers, older drivers have the second highest rate of accidents.
A new study finds that in an accident, seniors are way more likely than others, to be killed or seriously injured. Researchers at the Texas Transportation Institute analyzed 4 million serious crashes in the last 25 years, and it found that compared to middle aged drivers, those 65 and over were twice as likely to be killed. Those 75 and over are 3 times as likely; and those 85 and over are 4 times as likely.
But there is still some disagreement over what to do about this. The Auto Club, AAA, for instance, opposes legal crackdowns on license-renewals. Instead, it urges seniors to take refresher courses, and recommends their children and doctors monitor their driving.
However the author of today's study, Lindsay Griffin of the Texas Transportation Institute, says he's not sure that's enough. "Just as we have had graduated licensure programs for example, there may be a need at some point in time to consider graduated de-licensing programs."
With the graying of America as the baby boomers grow older, the debate is certain to become even more controversial.

Key Insights On Recommending Running Shoes
Believe it or not, the running shoe first originated as a leather upper with a leather sole. Adidas running shoes date back to the late 1800s but many of the technical advancements did not begin to appear until the 1970s. In 1971, Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight created a shoe manufacturing company called Blue Ribbon Sports (BRS), which eventually became Nike, Inc.
While he was coaching track and field at the University of Oregon, Bowerman created the first cushioned midsole by heating polyurethane on his wife's waffle iron in his garage. What followed wa

In theory, surgery on the toes sounds pretty simple. After all, how hard can it be? Technically speaking, we consider toes to be "easy," especially when we first start out in residency training.

Redefining Biomechanics Of The Foot And Ankle
When it comes to the load-bearing joints of the lower limb, the foot is the least understood. This stems from the fact that its size is a major barrier to quality scientific investigation but is also partly due to the the misconception that its function is simple. While we may believe we know a great deal about the biomechanics of the foot and ankle, in reality, it is relatively uncharted territory compared to the knee and hip.
The foot is far from simple as it comprises hundreds of different ligaments and bony structures and scores of articulations. Its

Southold Residents on Tick Eradication Need: 'Lyme Disease is a Silent Crisis'
Aches and pains. Loss of communication skills. Seizures. Misdiagnosis. These are only some of the themes five members of the newly formedSuffolk County Tick Eradication Task Force, made up of a doctor, a resident of Shelter Island — which has recently found success in quelling tick populations through a "4-poster" tick management study — a representative of the Empire State Lyme Disease Association,and a deer management expert from the Department of Environmental Conservation, heard from speakers describing their symptoms of Lyme Disease at a forum held at the Southold Town Recreation in Peconic Wednesday night.
Organized by Coutny Legis. Ed Romaine, the task force members were there to hear these painful stories and another message — Southold Town and the county cannot be silent about the seriousness of tick borne illness anymore.
"This was the worst year for ticks in 20 years," said Linda Weir of Peconic, who said she's been living with Lyme Disease since 1979 and went undiagnosed until 2004. "Because I've gone on with this for so long, I have kidney and liver problems now. My granddaughter has been bit and was misdiagnosed with Tourette syndrome. But we don't publicize the problem we have with ticks out here — why? Is it because of tourism? Why are we waiting to address the problem?"
Elderly Woman Rescued From Burning House Dies
An act of heroism ended in sadness Friday, when news spread that an elderly womanrescued from a burning house in Southampton Village on Thursday later died.

Contracts closed on nearly 6,200 single-family homes in September. That's the lowest one-month sales volume since March. It follows four months in which Houston home sales topped 7,000 units.
Shad Bogany is chairman of the Texas Association of Realtors. Bogany says the market typically slows down in September, but he adds this is still very much a sellers' market.
"Townhomes and condo sales were up over 42%, which is just incredible. And I think a lot of that has to do with the lack of inventory in single-family homes, and so people [are] saying, 'I'm just going to go to the next best thing at this point. I'm going to buy a condo or a townhouse.'"
Housing inventory is now down to 3.2 months, the lowest level on record for Houston. Most of September's sales growth came from homes selling for more than $250,000.

First of all, i would like to apologize for the inconvenience and confusion that this may create. Since i want TT's recruiting competitions to be as fun, challenging, exciting, and, perhaps most importantly, as much of a competition as they can be, i have decided to tweak the 2013 basketball recruiting competition that i just posted yesterday (the 10th).
In my opinion, a significant part of a competition is determining a winner. Or, in some cases, winners. A problem that i have come to realize with the 2013 bball competition is that with so many contestants and so few targets (only 5, whereas all the other competitions have been 10), we have many similar entries, some identical. Especially when you consider that everybody thus far has Roddy Peters to Maryland, its as if we only have 4 targets. Basically what this means is that when all is said and done, we will end up with a number of people with the same number of correct picks at the top. In other words, we will have a ton of winners. I don't mind too much if the competitions wind up with two/three winners (our inaugural competition is going to have two winners), but having close to, or even actual double digit winners is not something i desire.
So, enough mamble jamble. Here is what i have decided to do. In addition to the five targets that were posted in the original fanpost, i have elected to add another five players to the competition. They aren't exactly Maryland targets, but rather highly ranked recruits that you should be able to find plenty of information on (a few of them have been connected to Maryland in the past). If you wish to be in the competition, you need to predict schools for all ten contestants. The five in the first post, along with the five in this post. I realize that this is a bit sloppy, but i am trying to make these competitions as fun as possible. And in my opinion, ten targets will make for a much better competition than just five. My fault for not realizing that earlier.
After quite a bit of thought and going back and forth, i have decided to set the entry deadline for these five targets to 11:59PM august 15th. That is wednesday night, which, yes, is different from the deadline for the original five targets. Again, sloppy, i know. Here is my thinking: there is a specific reason that i set the original deadline to monday night. Some of you may be aware of this reason. Has something to do with tuesday. But since i don't want to show my hand as to possibly create an unfair advantage, i won't mention what that is. Most of you can probably figure it out though. And to be honest, it really wouldn't change much if i did say what it was. But anyways, since i do not want to push that deadline back, the deadline for the original five targets will remain 11:59PM monday night. The deadline for these targets however, will be later because i want to allow everyone who has made an entry in the first post to have the chance to see this and make an entry in this post as well, thus being qualified for the competition.So without further ado, the additional five targets:
Jabari Parker
Julius Randle
Beejay Anya
Kennedy Meeks
Kameron Williams
Sorry for writing a book, sorry for the sloppiness and any inconvenience. If you have any questions, ask away.

Negatives I noticed:
-Vick makes stupid throws, and gets injured, breaking his non throwing hand. -Our so-called unknockable secondary gives up 4TDS.-Jeremy Maclin pulls his hamstring.
-Desean was shutdown this game, no TDs in the last 2 games is a problem!
-Our defense gets ran on. Again.
-Casey Matthews makes rookie mistakes as usual.
-Way too many penalties! Where is the discipline?!
-We cannot score on the 1 yard line! If we convert that maybe we win this game!
-Our defense cannot wrap-up a ballcarrier, oh.my.goodness.
-I don't know if you guys noticed, but i think there was a big coaching difference between the two teams. Scheme-wise, I feel the Giants have really exposed us. Don't be surprised to see other teams play us the same way. I expect Reid to take alot of slack in the post conference. Very unprepared on the staff's part.
Positives: Player-wise, LESEAN MCCOY. (Yes, that's it.)
Note: I'm watching the Michael Vick post conference and there's a lot of talk about he doesnt get the calls other quarterbacks get. Is he just complaining or do the refs really need to step it up?
Conclusion: This is only the 3rd game of the season. We know that this team always starts off a bit iffy. I say we only panic if we come out with a L next week.

PPT Slide
Secret Service Agent Emory Roberts ordered SS agents to not react to protect JFK When Agent Ready jumped off to run to JFK, Roberts ordered him back. Before leaving Love field, Roberts ordered Agent Rybka off JFK's limo and left him at the airport (WFAA-TV's special; "JFK: the day the nation cried"). Agent Roberts would later write (April 28, 1964) that "there was no question in my mind as to (the agents') physical and mental capacity to function effectively in their assigned duties." despite the fact that they had been partying all that morning. Like Chief Rowley and Inspector Kelley before both the WC and the HSCA, Agent Roberts covered up the drinking incident, despite Secret Service regulations which stated that this was grounds for removal from the agency. Sleep deprivation and alcohol consumption wreak havoc on even the best trained reflexes.
While leaving Love Field on the way to the heart of Dallas, destiny, and murder, Agent Roberts rose from his seat and, using his voice and several hand gestures, forced agent Henry J. Rybka to fall back from the rear area of JFK's limousine, causing a perplexed Rybka to stop and raise his arms several times in disgust (Rybka would then remain at the airport during the murder, having been effectively neutralized) --although Paul Landis made room for him on the right running board of the follow-up car, Agent Rybka did not budge. Although Rybka worked the follow-up in Houston the day before and was a gun-carrying protective agent, he was not allowed to do his job on November 22,1963 (Rybka has since died...). Agent Henry Rybka was also on the follow-up car team in San Antonio on 11/21/63. In addition, the newly-released Cooper film depicts Rybka jumping out of the follow-up car in Fort Worth on 11/22/63 -- he was the first agent out of the car. In both cases, Rybka was not the driver. He revealed himself as a conscientious SS agent wanting to protect the President, so Roberts knew he didn't want him on the trip into Dealey Plaza where he might do something stupid like ruin the murder of JFK by shielding him with his body as he was supposed to do.

WWE officials also told GLAAD this morning that CM Punk's contract will expire in a few weeks, he will not be immediately renewed, and he will no longer be with WWE as of July 18. A spokesperson told us "this departure is not part of a storyline. He is contractually leaving the organization." A spokesperson for the WWE told us "We are taking this very seriously."I just thought I should remind everyone that CM Punk's official leaving date was today not yesterday. So the most likely scenario is that Punk gets screwed out of the title tonight on Raw. Though you can never discount the possibility that WWE has lied to gullible GLAAD over their storylines again. After all, in 2002 the Billy and Chuck gay wedding didn't go as GLAAD was told it would, with WWE even telling them that the wedding had taken place and all was well, after they had already taped the bait and switch.
GLAAD forces WWE and John Cena to knock off the homophobic jokes. If Vince McMahon strongly valued the WWE fans in the LGBT community, then these stereotypes and taunts would have ended long ago,...
Having lost the last three, we're badly in need of a win. Unfortunately the next game is against Everton, at Goodison Park. Rarely a happy hunting ground for SAFC even when we're in form, never...

Lupe Fiasco Timeline
February 16, 1982
Born Wasalu Muhammad Jaco in Chicago, Illinois.
One of nine children, Lupe was raised in a Muslim household on the West Side of Chicago. His mother Shirley was a chef, which enabled her to travel the world, while his father Gregory, along with being an engineer, was a member of the Black Panther Party. His father was also a skilled African drummer and a karate instructor who owned several karate studios as well as army supply stores. A few of Lupe's father's occupations and specialties had and continue to have a visible influence on the rapper. In concert, Lupe is often seen throwing quick punches to the beat of his songs, uses African-sounding drums in a handful of his songs, and he loves to dress in camouflage clothes, especially camouflage pants, on stage. Due to his parents' unique occupations and associations, Lupe was able to witness and absorb an extremely varied patchwork of cultures and lifestyles.
When he was three years old, Lupe followed his father into karate. It took him only 7 years to gain his first black belt.
Lupe eventually got the nickname "Lu", which evolved into "Lupe," while "Fiasco" is from the song 'Firm Fiasco' by The Firm. Lupe claims he "just liked the way it looked on paper." As surprising as it may sound, until Lupe entered the eighth grade, he detested hip-hop and rap, because he disliked its crudeness and degrading nature. As he aged, just before entering junior high at Thornton Township High School, he began listening to the likes of Nas, and Lupe cites Nas's It Was Written as the album that sparked his interest in the genre.
Now 19 years old, Lupe was a member of the rap group "Da Pak." They only released one single with Epic Records before they broke up.
After Da Pak split up, Lupe signed with Arista Records, a partnership that was soon dissolved due to the firing of Artista's CEO. At one point Lupe and his manager Chill, who Lupe references as a very good friend in many of his songs, were close to signing with Roc-a-Fella Records. The deal did not pan out, but the negotiations resulted in the emergence of a strong friendship between Lupe and Jay-Z. Lupe credits Jay-Z as a part of his ascent to success and states that the two "always stayed in contact because he respected my partner and me as a fellow rapper. He did [a lot] to help me boost my career." In this four year period, Lupe also appeared on a small number of songs as a featured artist, including Tha' Rayne's "Kiss Me."
2005-Early 2006
This was the period that arguably launched Lupe on to the hip-hop map. Kanye West featured Lupe on his single "Touch the Sky," a mainstream success, which brough Lupe into the limelight and enabled him for future success. Lupe rode this brief exposure to the greater public and followed up his appearance with Kanye with a series of mix tapes, Fahrenheit 1/15: Parts I-III. In the second part of this series is a Kanye-inspired song called "Conflict Diamonds" during which Lupe raps over West's "Diamonds from Sierra Leone." Lupe's words are politically influenced and extremely thought provoking; "I'm just pushing the facts, fuck Bush, cuz there's people doing worse on this earth and they're black..." "We all know on foreign shores that they finance wars, but ask yourself do they finance yours..." The uniquely diverse combination of Lupe's appearance on Touch the Sky followed by his mix tapes caught the attention of hip-hop critics and listeners.
September 19, 2006
Look no further than the year 2006 to find Lupe's explosion on to the music scene. In September of this year Lupe released his first album, titled "Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor." The title, Lupe says, was inspired by his upbringing in the Muslim side of West Chicago: "Instead having bodegas like in New York, the majority of the corner stores are called 'Food and Liquors.'" Lupe claims that the food stores of his childhood represent the good, the resourceful, while the liquor stores represent the opposite side of the spectrum; the bad, the deadly, the corrupt. Lupe does not drink or smoke or engage in any drugs, something that has become unprecedented for rappers or even most musicians. This 14-track album, despite not having any top 10 singles, debuted at number eight on the billboards. Three singles were released; one international, "Kick, Push," a song inspired by his passion for skateboarding, one exclusively in Europe, "Daydreamin' Featuring Jill Scott" and a third exclusively in the U.S., "I Gotcha," produced by Pharrell and the Neptunes.
The subject matter of the album is impossible to narrow down to one sweeping theme, and that really is what makes Lupe so special. The first track of the album features Lupe reciting the initial several lines of the Qu'Ran. "Kick, Push" follows a young male who grows up with an obsession for skateboarding, and the lyrics tell a beautiful story of love, rebellion, youth, and eventual maturity. "The Instrumental" focuses on an addiction to television. Several songs touch on ghetto life, guns and violence, and race, while "American Terrorist" is centered on the Muslim religion.
"Food & Liquor" garnered four Grammy nominations, including Best Rap Album. Lupe raked in one Grammy Award out of his four nominations, for Best Urban/Alternative Song for "Daydreamin'." All recordings for this album were held at the 1st & 15th studios in Chicago, something Lupe mentions in almost all of his songs, either shouting out "First and...fifteenth!" or "F-N-F!" The reception of this album, which sold 325 thousand copies was critiqued extremely favorably by almost all, and even resulted in Lupe gaining the title of a potential "savior of hip hop". Critic Nathan Rabin credited Lupe with "boldly expand(ing) the parameters of mainstream hip-hop." If all this success and praise was not enough, Lupe was voted as GQ's "Breakout Man of the Year." If you hadn't heard of Lupe by the end 2006, you needed to wake up. He was the next big thing.
December 18, 2007
Lupe followed up "Food & Liquor" with his second album, "Lupe Fiasco's The Cool." His second consecutive concept album, "The Cool" was based on a song with the same title from his previous album and loosely on the song "He Say She Say" from his previous album as well. Again, the subject matter on the album is characteristically broad. In explaining the album, Lupe states he was developing the character of the child from the song "He Say She Say," and is introducing two new characters, the Streets and the Game:
"I expand on the story, I introduce two other characters, the Game and the Streets. The Streets is a female. She's like the action personification of the streets, the street life, the call of the streets. The Game is the same way. The Game is the personification of the game. The pimp's game, the hustler's game, the con man's game, whatever. Then they've got supernatural characteristics. Like the Cool, his right hand is rotted away. The only thing that rotted away was his right hand. It represents the rotting away of his righteousness, of his good. And the Streets and the Cool kind of have a love affair going on. So she's represented by this locket. And the locket has a key and it's on fire. And as a gift to the Cool on his rise to fame, she gave him the key. And the key represents the key to the Streets. So she wears a locket around her neck at all times. And the way the story goes, she has given that key to tons of people throughout time. Al Capone, Alexander the Great, whatever. She's giving them the key to the Streets. Fame and fortune - but also the prices. The Game, he's represented by a stripped-down skull, a skull with dice in his eyes and smoke coming out of his mouth. The billowing smoke is actually crack smoke. It's not a full concept album; it's more spread over like five [tracks], really abstractly."
Debuting at #15 on the Billboard 200, the album moved up one spot the next week, while debuting at #1 on the rap billboards and staying in that position for nine weeks. The album was eventually certified Gold. Yet again, the album was nominated for four Grammy's including Best Rap Album. The album sold just over 200 thousand copies in its first week, and was somewhat helped by being extensively featured as the soundtrack to the 2008 Winter X Games. The album's first single, "Superstar," with Matthew Santos, peaked in the top 5 on the singles charts.
Aside from the success of his album, which, much like his previous one, was received with great appraise from critics, this two-year period was unimaginably tragic for the young rapper. During the production of the album, Lupe lost his father, a monstrous influence on his life and music, as well as one of his closest friends Stack Bundles. Adding to the hardship, his aforementioned partner/manager and mentor Charles "Chilly" Patton was locked up for 44 years for drug charges. "Chilly" is mentioned countless times throughout "The Cool" and even has a skit in his honor. Atlantic records CEO Craig Kallman described Chilly as "play(ing) a crucial role in the development of Lupe's career. Through his invaluable knowledge, advice, and guidance, Lupe has developed into one of the most refreshing artists in hip-hop music." When asked about this time of his life, Lupe described it as follows: "Oh yeah. A lot of loss. I lost my father, I lost my business partner to prison, and I lost some friends. It was a very dark period. It still is in some aspects, but you know, I'm kind of coming out of it. But especially during the time that the album was being cooked, in my head it was a very dark kind of period."
There were rumors that the ever-experimenting Lupe was in the process of writing a novel called Reflections of a Window Washer. Also in this year, Lupe and his group 1500 or Nothin' joined Kanye West, Rihanna and N.E.R.D. on West's Glow in the Dark Tour. MTV ranked Lupe as the 7th "Hottest MC in the Game." At a concert in his hometown of Chicago in very late 2008, Lupe declared that the next album he releases would be his ultimate album, a three-part, three-disc album with the first disc titled LupE.N.D.
The beginning of 2009 for Lupe consisted of constantly changing the plans of his so-called final album. On January 30th, he told the public that LupE.N.D. was postponed until further notice. He then announced that he would release two albums in late-2009 and mid-2010, which would be followed by LupE.N.D. This claim however would also be nullified, as Lupe eventually publicized that his next album, which has not been released yet, but will be out in late-2010, will be titled "We are Lasers." The long line of edits to his plans continued even further as the album title was later shortened to a finalized "Lasers."
July 7, 2009
The first single from "Lasers," called "Shining Down" was released, featuring Matthew Santos and produced by Soundtrakk.
October 7, 2009
After being left off of MTV's top 10 "Hottest MC's" list in 2009, Lupe released a song called "Fire" as a response, and as a message screaming that he would not be denied the top spot on that list the following year.
November 20th, 2009
The cult film Twilight: New Moon was released, containing a song performed and produced by Lupe himself, entitled "Solar Midnite."
November 26th, 2009
Lupe released his mix tape "Enemy of the State: A Love Story."
January 7th 2010
Lupe, along with a group of other celebrities including Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch, and singers Kenna and Santigold, trekked Mt. Kilimanjaro as part of the Summit on the Summit project in order to raise worldwide awareness of people deprived of clean water.
January 20th, 2010
Lupe released a song title "Resurrection" with singer Kenna as a reaction to the earthquake in Haiti. The song was a part of the Music for Relief charity compilation.
January 26th, 2010
The second single from "Lasers," called "I'm Beaming" was released. The song was apparently a "taste of what is coming" from the album. A video for the single was also released.
April 2010
Along with Pharrell, Lupe founds the group "All City Chess Club". The group contains the two aforementioned MCs, Asher Roth, B.o.b., The Cool Kids, Charles Hamilton, Blu, Diggy Simmons, Wale, J.Cole, and Dosage. This outrageously talented crew has thus far only put out one song, a remix of Lupe's "I'm Beamin".
July 16th, 2010
Lupe--correction; in this case, Wasalu Jaco, releases the debut album of his punk-band Japanese Cartoon.
October 26th, 2010
The first single from Lupe's album "Lasers" finally comes out and steadily recieves consistent radio play and attention. "The Show Goes On" puts a unique twist on Modest Mouse's "Float On" and Lupe dresses it with characteristically smooth flow."The Show Goes On" became Lupe's most successful single as far as the Billboard 100 goes.
February 8th, 2011
Just as the freshness of "The Show Goes On" was beginning to wear off, Lu hits the world with this profound collabo with Skylar Grey; "Words I Never Said", Lupe's second single off of Lasers.
March 8th, 2011
The album itself comes out. "Lasers" drops and recieves...various...reviews from the pros. The fans were much more welcoming across the board however, as the album opened number one on the billboard and sold 200 thousand copies during the first week.
W.E.B. Du Bois Reference
In the song "All Black Everything", off the album Lasers, Lupe references W.E.B. Du Bois in the following lyric:
Uh, and we ain't get exploited
White man ain't feared so he did not destroy it
We ain't work for free, see they had to employ it
Built it up together so we equally appointed
First 400 years, see we actually enjoyed it
Constitution written by the W.E.B. Du Bois
May-June 2011
Lupe begins to get involved in politics. During an appearanc on The Colbert Report, Lupe stated his political stance as: "You should criticize power even if you agree with it." A month later, Lupe was sharing his view on CBS and asserted the following eye-opening comments: "My fight against terrorism, to me, the biggest terrorist is Obama in the United States of America. I'm trying to fight the terrorism that's actually causing the other forms of terrorism. You know, the root cause of terrorism is the stuff the U.S. government allows to happen. The foreign policies that we have in place in different countries that inspire people to become terrorists." (Video available in side bar)
Late 2011
Lupe involves himself in the "Occupy" movement, and releases the mixtape "Friend of the People: I Fight Evil" on Thanksgiving day.
In this pivotal election year, Fiasco continued to stress his anti-vote, anti-war, anti-violence views in the media. He was very outspoken (appearing on the Colbert Report, O'Reilly factor, and dozens of other shows) about criticizing power and the fact that he can not bring himself to vote for anyone who will cause global violence of any kind.
On September 25th, Lupe released his latest album: Food & Liquor II: The Great American Rap Album Part 1. The album is, not surprisingly, provoking to say the least. Some songs are politically charged, others attack societal issues or the rap game itself. Lupe's rhymes are complex, clever, and it is clear that a massive amount of effort and energy was displaced in the production and creation of the album and its lyrics. Reviews for the album were generally positive. Critics were impressed with Lupe's consciousness and profundity, as well as the focus and effort evident in the presentation of the music.
The album debuted at 5 on the Billboard 200 and sold just under 90 thousand copies in the first week. It also managed to debut at #1 on R&B/Hip Hop and Rap charts.

In life, a man is a man, and a woman is a woman.
If you've ever stood by a stand–it could be a vegetable stand, fruit stand, or brownie stand, it could be in a hospital cafeteria, it could be at Whole Foods– there's always an opportunity there to see a woman become indecisive.
Women are very indecisive in certain ways.
Think about when you're going out with a woman, and you ask them, "Hey, what do you want for dinner?" They usually say, "What do you want?" They want you to make the decision.
We're wired like we used to be, as cave men and cave women. We haven't changed in our internal programming.
A woman wants a man to lead all the time. When a man leads, a woman is turned on. When a man is decisive, the indecisive woman is turned on. She wants you to be the leader.
So a great exercise is to go to a market, and just watch. Just stand by a stand of brownies, or cake, or pastries, and watch women look around.
Watch their eyes go from one brownie to the pastry to the muffin. They can't make a decision. So, in that situation, you need to walk over to them and say this:
"I know. It's a tough choice, isn't it? It's really hard, but what are you in the mood for? Do you want the chocolate? Do you want the coconut? Or is it the apple pie?"
Engage them a little bit. And then she'll look at you and say:
"I don't really know what I want…"
And that's when you need to help her out.
Help her figure out what she wants because here's the deal: On a very deep, subconscious level, she's looking at you–without even realizing it–as a leader.
So much of life is very subconscious. You've helped her through this painful process of picking out a pastry to go with her lunch. And as simple a process as that was for you, she's in awe–she's looking at you as a real man.
In her eyes, you're a man that takes control, a real leader, and this is what she wants in a mate.
Quick decision-making: it's something that you've got to learn to do.
There are a million characteristics of the attractive leader of men–this is just one of them.
Identify the attributes of the man that you want to be and slowly incorporate them into your personality and life.
Indecisive women everywhere are waiting.

Advanced Wall Mounted Multizone Light Controller Easily Handles Complicated Zones and Scenes
Leviton's D3206-2LW is a Multizone Controller and Dimmer system designed for those looking for an advanced, high-end residential device that can dim up to six zones all from one panel. The D3206-2LW can operate in two different ways: As a self-contained dimmer that can dim lights wired directly to the unit or as a control unit attached to the Leviton Control Network communication bus. Using "wizard" menus and pushbuttons to help guide you through settings and adjustments, the D3206-2LW will cater to multiple customizations and features an intelligent infrared receiver which can be used with a remote control. This controller can work with a vast D3200 dimming system or be used as a simple dimmer attached to six zones.
It only takes a few minutes to customize the D3206-2LW, allow it to cater to your specific zone and scene naming schemes. When selecting a specific zone the integrated LCD will display the name of the scene, and the current date and time. This same LCD display will also show the zone's corresponding light level, making adjustment easy and allowing for simple repetitive settings to be inputted. Enabling a zone local to the D3206-2LW causes the LED status lights to activate displaying the number assigned to the specific zone as well as the selected zone's brightness level. An auxiliary status indicator ("A") will also light up when a zone is controlling an auxiliary device wired to the LCnet, but not directly to the D3206-2LW. There are up to eight scene buttons, with the selected and enabled scene button remaining lit. Once scenes have been programmed, any zone of your choice can be adjusted individually and separate from the enabled scene. Available push buttons provide a group dim, group brighten, maximum brightness, and an off switch.

If it Plugs In, You Can Turn it On or Off with a Motion Sensor
The Belkin WeMo Home Automation Switch + Motion Sensor Kit, along with the WeMo App, work together to let you use motion to turn almost anything in your home on or off. By having the WeMo Switch, WeMo Motion, and the WeMo App installed, you can create rules that turn the WeMo Switch on or off when motion is detected. Have a light go on when you enter a room, have a fan go off when you leave. A heater, a lamp, your stereo, you name it – if you can plug it in, you can control it with the WeMo Motion. You can even have it guard the door at night.
Using the free WeMo App, you tell the WeMo Switch and the WeMo Motion what to do when motion is sensed. Just place the included WeMo Motion wherever you like, connect it to the included WeMo Switch controlling a light, and that light goes on whenever you pass by. With the WeMo Motion, appliances wake up and perform their tasks when you get near them, and go to sleep when you leave. Just like they should! Once connected, the WeMo Motion will sense movement within a 10-foot range; sensitivity for the motion sensor can be adjusted when you are creating or editing a motion rule. WeMo is a modular system, so you can add additional WeMo Switches easily and at any time. Control as much or as little of your home as you want – and you can control it all from anywhere using your smartphone! WeMo is your home at your fingertips.
Add Wireless Z-Wave Remote Control to an Exiting Switch and Monitor Energy Consumption
It has long been thought that a house becomes a home when we make it reflect who we are, when we personalize it, when we fill it with objects we treasure. And all of that remains true, but it no longer needs to be just the objects we put in our home that personalizes it. Like the music that gently fills the background of your favorite restaurant, Aeotec's Micro Switches create the perfect ambiance for your home, and then some. They also give you the perfect control and the perfect, intelligent automation.
The Aeotec Z-Wave Micro Smart Energy Illuminator Dimmer Switch G2 is a low-cost Z-Wave dimmer module specifically used to enable Z-Wave command and control (on/off/dim) for existing in-wall switches. It can also report immediate wattage consumption or kWh energy usage over a period of time. The wireless module is powered from the mains supply and is a three-wire design which requires a neutral connection. In the event of power failure, non-volatile memory retains all programmed information relating to the unit's operating status. It also is a repeater in the Z-Wave network. Acting as a bridge for communication, it will forward Z-Wave command messages to their destinations if the originating controller is out of range from the destination node. By taking advantage of the Z-Wave mesh network, commands can be routed to their destination via intermediary 'listening' Z-Wave products. Products that are Z-Wave certified can be used and communicate with other Z-Wave certified devices.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley Kicks Off LFW with a Party
Gearing up for London's Fashion Week, Rosie Huntington Whiteley stepped out for a kick off party hosted by Elle magazine on Thursday night (September 12).
Gorgeous in a black Stella McCartney jumpsuit, the British beauty accessorized her glamorous look with silver heels and a black beaded clutch as she headed inside the Sanderson Hotel.
Though she was discovered almost ten years ago and has enjoyed great success, the former Victoria's Secret Angel says she had a difficult time adjusting to life in te spotlight.
She shared in a recent interview, "The first few years of modeling were tough but now it's different. I have to take into consideration that my actions are going to be all over the papers. Now I'm at a point where I don't have to be uncomfortable - and I certainly don't need to be.''

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Bullitt East High School identifies the man who died in a crash at the intersection of Highway 3192 and Dale Lane Monday morning as an English teacher, Brian Walters.
Kentucky State Police say officers responded at 6:44 a.m. They say a Honda, which Walters was driving, dropped off the right shoulder, and the driver overcorrected. That's when the Honda drove across both westbound and eastbound lanes, and collided with an F-150.
Walters was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the F-150 went to University Hospital. His condition has not been released.
Bullitt East High School says Walters had been an English teacher there for four years, and had served in the district for seven years. The school says he was on his way to work when the accident happened. Ballard High School has also confirmed that Walters coached girls soccer there.
The "Bullitt East Livewire" on Twitter said Walters is survived by his wife and two children.
Students and staff at Bullitt East have been notified, by request of the family, and a letter will go home with students. Counselors are at the school and will be there all week.

A Cass County woman who admitted that she allowed her husband to sexually abuse their daughter will be going to jail, a judge ruled on Tuesday.
Linda Reinhart was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to child endangerment and hindering the prosecution of a felony.
Her husband, Danial Rinehart, was sentenced last June to life in prison after he was convicted of charges that included second-degree murder, second-degree rape, two counts of incest and two counts of abandonment of a corpse.
Prosecutors say that Linda Reinhart knew about the abuse, but did nothing to stop it.
"Anybody would have read the report that Igot assigned initially and thought, 'Wow this can't possibly be true'," said Det. Teresa Carmichael of the Cass County Sheriff's Department. "But the more I investigated it the more credibility there was to it."

Three of the four children Rinehart had with his daughter died, including one who fell off a couch, another who got sick and didn't get proper medical attention, and one who was stillborn. The murder charge stemmed from the death of the child who died after falling ill.
The daughter, now in her early 20s, testified at her father's trial that her father first had sex with her when she was 5 years old. She said she gave birth to her first child, a daughter, at age 14. The girl died four months later after falling off a couch in the recreational vehicle the family lived in.
Two years later she had a son -- the only one of her children who survived. A year later, she had another son, but he died after becoming ill and not receiving medical attention.
His body and that of the victim's fourth child, a daughter who was stillborn, were found in January 2009 in coolers on the rural Harrisonville property where the family lived in their recreational vehicle.
Prosecutor Teresa Hensley says that she hopes this brings closure to the victim.
"She believes she's now in a position where she can go on and start living her life." said Hensley. "And i believe it's a relief not to have to go through another trial."

Summoning 2007 (pd content)
Jim Callis in his chat picks two dark horse AL Cy Young candidates, and he picks Brett Anderson and Fausto Carmona. To which I say, stop the madness. I know what dark horse means. And Callis further qualifies his choice as "a real dark horse," as in a fat chance. Still, that's unreasonable. Nonetheless, nice to see scoutarari with some hope for Fausto.
