If Styles ends up being straight, the implications of his recent statements would be practically revolutionary. At his age, following the "bro" code typically means acting as straight and narrow as possible. How many straight guys are comfortable with being mistaken for gay or bisexual?
As a kid, Austin Netzley remembered being enthralled with the concept of money and promising himself that one day he'd be wealthy. And now, at 28, by most people's measure, he is. He's been an athlete, student, engineer and entrepreneur. And at this point in his life, he considers himself "retired."
Feminism has become the word du jour. But what's its message? Its goals? Why is it so divisive?
TS Madison has become really popular over the past year. She is a YouTube sensation who recently got her own show on YouTube via World of Wonder. Madison just dropped her first album, so I thought it would be a perfect time for her to be asked "15 Questions."
Black, Asian and Latina women combined barely make up 1 percent of the total number of persons in top positions. White women comprise 14 percent.
The human mind doesn't always work in our best interests when it comes to spending decisions. But the good news is that scientists are trying to tackle the problem -- and uncover how we can retrain our brains to make better choices.
In declaring a state of emergency in Missouri before any actual announcement by the Ferguson grand jury, Gov. Jay Nixon is shedding a valuable light on what happens when a culture of fearful white supremacy can't tolerate dissent, disorder, or difference.
In May 2004, comedian, social critic and philanthropist Bill Cosby took the stage at Constitution Hall in his hometown of Philadelphia. It was a gala commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Brown decision on school segregation.
Our daughters will learn from us how to value themselves. Whether we like it or not, we are responsible for what they are exposed to and what they hold up as values while they are young.
The focus of our strategy should not be on what we do or do not do with our military. The principal focus of our "fight" should be on getting the countries in the Middle East, like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Bahrain, etc., to make the defeat of ISIS their responsibility.
Whether or not Darren Wilson is indicted for his behavior in those 90 seconds, American society as a whole bears indictment for those four hours and thirty-two minutes. That level of disregard for black life cannot be attributed to the actions of one police officer.
Keeping control of overall debt is an important part of financial planning no matter what your stage of life. But a flat statement about eliminating all debt in retirement may be too simplistic. That's because the amount of debt you can comfortably handle is very individual and depends on your bigger financial picture.
As we honor our friends and family we have lost to anti-transgender violence on Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR), how can we ensure that transgender women of color are leading the LGBTQ anti-violence movement?
My heart belongs to the ladies on 14th Street who stood with me night after night, trying to survive and just be their authentic selves. I cry today for those ladies who are no longer here with us in 2014, but my heart remembers them.
For the second time in two months, Governor Jay Nixon of Missouri approved the execution of an African American man sentenced to die by an all-white jury. But Missouri and this governor have absolutely no moral authority to execute anyone.
I discovered that I had been living a life according to what other's believed was the norm. I learned that every experience is part of the journey and realized that my journey was my life's purpose.
I hope that bounce TV offers quality programing the puts African Americans in a positive light. We need much more of that rather than the negative reality shows the bring out the worst in African Americans. Good Luck! I will be watching.
Great cuz right now I have more Spanish channels than English.
I'm looking forward for this show......PLEASE keep us posted as when and what channel......I hope it show leadership and positive role models for our youth especially our BM
I'm intrigued by Bounce because I feel starved for television, both informational and entertaining, that reflects the Black perspective. I'm starved for programming I can see myself in and is relevant toward me. As much as I love House and Glee, NBC Nightly News and MSNBC if all that was offered on one station with Black faces my loyalty would lean toward that network over my current allegiances.
I'm interested to see how Bounce will set itself apart from its forbears. Will they play music videos, if so how much of the time?Will they have news? Will they have commentary? Will they have talk shows? Will they have reality shows? Will they have documentaries? Will they have inspirational programming? Will they have both conservative and liberal points of view? What will separate Bounce from the pack that allows Blacks to reminisce on the good old days of TV with our favorite sitcoms and movies airing back to back while offering nothing new to the media conversation?
Another crap TV network, and another channel I must give up for real programming. There should be a separate package one for humans, and the other for Blacks.
Seems like this will be another BET/TVOne... Well in reality no original programing... More like a movie channel... Early 90's-2000's urban flicks...
http://ThyBlackMan.com - Black Men Blog...
I'm looking foward to Bounce Media,this is exactly what the Black Community needs,and plenty of it. We are so sick and disgusted with Mainstream Media telling the same old,tired stories and Demonizing the African American Community,until it is Pathetic!The Mainstream Media,and their Selected Commentators have done their best to Manufacture an Opinion that Reflects African Americans,in a very Negative Way!We Welcome Bounce and More Black Media To Tell Our Story!
This is great news! Does anyone know whether animation will be a part of Bounce's programming?
I'am looking forward to seeing the old black cinema and history, documetaries, as well as PanAfrican movies, news and history documentaries., as well as plays and comcerts.
Id like to see products from new writeers and actors performing from authors of fiction and fantasy.
I am with all BV readers that want this channel to be a plus not 24/7 foolish showing of Blacks loud and dressing poorly and always singing, praying and dancing.
Try not to keep talking about how bad Black Americans are having it, talk about good news and how to improve the life's of Black people, however, I realize some will never change, they will still keeping doing those things that keep in prison and being disrespectful. I hope some how a program will show young and old men how to take care of themselves and their families, and talk about stop having children they can't afford, this goes for both males and females. I hope this isn't asking for to much.
Lastly, I hope that there will be an international portion to this channel hire other races, but still keep control of the goal of the channel.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Elections the only fix for red chamber
OTTAWA -- The current expenses and ethics scandal buffeting the Senate and Prime Minister's Office has inspired all manner of "solutions" for Canada's upper chamber, from abolition to reform, depending on the predilections of the author.
One idea in particular is in vogue right now and it is worth taking a moment to see why this popularity is quite undeserved. This is the notion of continuing with an appointed Senate, but one where a better and non-partisan appointment process would result in a higher calibre of senator.
This approach appeals particularly to people who are rightly completely disgusted by both the behaviour of some of the senators currently in the news and by the behaviour of political parties more generally. There is a palpable yearning in the land for a body of virtuous Platonic guardians, above the political fray, interested only in the good of the country. There is much discussion of arm's length appointment processes, such as those for Supreme Court judges and governors general, that would "get the politics out" of who makes it into the red chamber.
But as James Madison, one of the American founding fathers, once wisely remarked: "If men were angels, no government would be necessary." A Senate of disinterested angels may perhaps be a delightful fantasy, but it is a fantasy nonetheless.
The reality is no matter how senators are chosen, be it appointment, election or lottery, the resulting body will be composed of fallible human beings. We should, therefore, focus on crafting an institution that does not assume senators are improbably virtuous. Instead, it would aim to reduce the scope for bad behaviour while ensuring the transparency and democratic accountability that help keep people honest and focused on the good of the country, rather than their individual advantage.
While everyone's attention has been focused on the bad behaviour of a small minority of senators, the fact is the Senate has been graced over the years with many members of the highest ethical, moral and intellectual achievements, including distinguished scientists, surgeons, athletes, public servants and business leaders.
Yes, there has been dross as well, but I think it is fair to say the large majority of senators are distinguished people who take their job seriously, behave honourably and try to do the best they can for the country.
An improved appointments process is, therefore, only likely to change the composition of the Senate on the margins. A few more good people and fewer scoundrels won't overcome the serious flaws that disfigure the institution today.
An improved appointments process would not overcome, for example, the absence of a democratic mandate for senators, who would still find themselves plunged into a legislative backwater. How could a chamber of appointed individuals, no matter how illustrious and distinguished, hope to resist successfully the will of the Commons based on the popular mandate? Any attempt to do so would quickly give rise to charges of a nascent and unaccountable aristocracy running roughshod over the popular will. And why would the best and the brightest respond to the call to serve the nation in the Senate unless they were to be given the power and authority to do the job?
We must not forget, moreover, that unless the Supreme Court of Canada gives an unexpected ruling on the federal government's reference on Senate reform, new appointees will continue to be named until age 75 and will never have to account to anyone for their use of the power granted them under the Constitution.
I, at any rate, have concluded there is no appointment process that could rescue the Senate from its current disgrace and impotence. We are a modern 21st-century democracy. Political institutions draw their power and authority from democratic mandates and parties are an indispensable instrument of democracy. A non-partisan appointed Senate, no matter how angelic its members, could never hope to be anything but an impotent anachronism. Appointing higher-calibre individuals is a non-solution to the Senate's shortcomings.
Creating an accountable, democratically elected institution with appropriate checks and balances ensures that when fallible people are given power, the chances of their abusing it are much reduced. That is the best we can hope for in a reformed Senate and it would be an achievement not to be belittled.
Brian Lee Crowley is managing director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

Yes, This Tool Actually Works
Most WordPress anti spam tools amount to garbage, both built in to WordPress, and third party plugins. The built in tools are mediocre, and at best force you to babysit new comments and registrations.
On the other hand, third party plugins are all over the map. Many make your real, interested readers jump through hoops to sign up and/or leave comments on your site, assuming they are that patient.
Others simply don't work anymore, and you are left reacting to spam invasions. Things shouldn't be this way, and there's a reason those plugins don't work: they're built on the wrong idea.
Spam must be defended against, right? Wrong. Spam hurts the invaluable image of your business and saps your time – and your anti spam must violently fight to destroy the Spammers, not defend against them.
If you don't take the initiative, Spammers will walk over you. That's why Spam Hammer is the best WordPress spam blocker: it takes the fight to spammers, instead of waiting for them to bring the fight to you.
There were many others in a situation similar to yours, who chose to try a tool that fights back. See what other business owners and professionals that tried Spam Hammer say.
Flip The Script, Be The Aggressor
Spammers have things to protect as well – things they consider precious and valuable. If you hit them where it hurts, Spammers run in the other direction and look for their next target.
What is precious to Spammers? To know this, you must know that the spam they put out isn't sent directly by them; it's sent through a service they pay for, and expect to get a ROI from.
Spammers spend money trying to crack your anti spam, and if that fails, they hire a person to rush and manually spam you. If even that fails, the Spammer spent that money – for nothing.
If it happens once or twice, the Spammer only loses a few cents. But, if they continue to fail, the costs become significant. It's like your site is surrounded by a spiked shield. They then scratch off your site.
When the administrators of the spamming services notice this pattern, they attempt to reverse engineer the anti spam. When they can't, as with Spam Hammer, they lose customers and email us nasty words
Spam Hammer has several ways to fight for you hands-free, and the most powerful among these are 1. Block them by country and/or continent 2. We waste their time and 3. Immunity to reverse engineering.
1. Block Them By Country and/or Continent
Most spam is made on computers outside the home country of your site. Some countries are notorious for their government's legal protection and harboring of big spam services.
If you run a local business in the USA, why would you accept comments from computers in Ukraine? There is no reason, and by blocking them, you block all spammers from that country automatically.
Spam Hammer provides both country and continent blocking. This is especially aggressive against spam services – they can't just pack up and go to another country, and are helpless against this.
By default, popular spamming countries are blocked, but you can change these at any time to fit your specific business needs and geographical preferences.
2. We Waste Their Time
Spammers enjoy the luxury of being able to press a button and blast your site with spam within a fraction of a second; over the next few seconds their spam program blasts hundreds of other sites.
What if you took away that luxury and made everyone wait at least 15 seconds before they can try to post a comment to spam your blog? What if real readers weren't bothered by it, only Spammers?
Spam Hammer adds this feature to your site. By the time real readers finish loading and reading your page or post, and scroll down to write a comment, way more than 15 seconds have gone by.
Spammers ignore the required 15 seconds, try to jam in a comment way before the timer is up, and make it super easy to catch them – all without touching a single legitimate reader.
This causes Spammers to run around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to figure out why their spam isn't going through after multiple attempts when there is no captcha on the page.
The optimal timer is 15 seconds long and this is something that generally doesn't have to be adjusted; though, you do have the option to raise or lower this to what suits your specific needs at that time.
3. Immunity to Reverse Engineering
Imagine your past anti spam solution as a padlock to your house, a Spammer sees your house, and tries to break in. The only thing between the inside of your house and the Spammer is that padlock outside the door.
The spammer, having experience with padlocks, easily picks it, throws the padlock on the ground, and gets inside. This is how most anti spam solutions try to protect your "house" or WordPress site ––
– they use a padlock, which has to be on the outside. That approach is fundamentally broken, no matter how many spins those plugin coders put on it, and the end result is an impotent anti spam.
Instead, Spam Hammer is a deadbolt on your door, which can only be opened from the inside. The Spammer is helpless to do anything, and can never see the inside of your house and disturb your guests.
Spam Hammer is an anti spam service, meaning the WordPress plugin is an interface to use the remotely hosted protection service on your WordPress site. It's inner workings are therefore hidden from Spammers.
You Never Have To Fight Spam Again
Spam Hammer fights for you. Never again will your real readers' comments be recognized as spam, leaving them wondering if the content they took the time to write on your site even reached the other end.
Never again will they contact you and ask you "why". Never again will readers lose the pleasure of commenting on your site, and instead spreading the word about your site having problems.
Never again will you get hundreds of emails about spam comments in your queue, awaiting you to pick out the one or two comments that are real and mass deleting the rest, over and over.
Never again will already registered, legitimate readers, including administrators, be blocked from posting after it's stupidly clear they are not spammers.
Never again will you run an impotent anti spam solution with endless confusing settings or setup that requires technical skills that aren't in your reach as a busy professional.
Try It Risk-Free
The testimonials are there because this is a professional service. I'm extending a week of Free, completely unlocked usage and support of the plugin to professionals and businesses. There is zero risk for you.
There Is Zero Risk
No-questions-asked, 30-day 100% Money-back Guarantee
I don't consider your license ownership binding or committed on your part until you carefully monitor progress on your goal.
If at any point in the 30 days after becoming a License Owner for the first time, you can't honestly affirm that that you have 30 more minutes of time everyday –
– that your spam has dropped 97 to 100%, that you're one step closer to your vision, that your moderators are happy, that your site is less trouble –
– then I don't feel like I deserve to keep your money. I'm that confident spam hammer works and will continue to work for you, hands down or 100% of your money back.
We sometimes limit daily orders of Spam Hammer to maintain response times and smoothly scale with growth. If you don't see the order button below, try again in 24 hours.

Future of Nursing Initiative
FRIDAY, May 18 (HealthDay News) -- Palpitations, hypertension, and body mass index (BMI) are predictive of future atrial fibrillation (AF) in both men and women, according to a study published online May 15 in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.
To investigate the impact of palpitations and cardiovascular risk factors in the prediction of AF, Audhild Nyrnes, M.D., from the University of Tromsø in Norway, and colleagues followed a cohort of 22,815 participants from a population survey in 1994 to 1995 (mean age at baseline, 46 years) for a mean of 11.1 years. At baseline, height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were measured and information on palpitations, diabetes, angina, myocardial infarction, and antihypertensive treatment was obtained.
The researchers found that, for women and men, palpitations correlated with an increased risk of AF (hazard ratio [HR], 1.62 and 1.91, respectively). Hypertension was also associated with an increased risk of AF for women (HR, 1.98) and men (HR, 1.40). For each one standard deviation increase in BMI the HR for AF was 1.16 for women and 1.47 for men.
"In this cohort study, the strongest risk factors for atrial fibrillation in both sexes were a history of palpitations and hypertension," the authors write. "The clinical implications of this would primarily be to emphasize the importance of adequate treatment of high blood pressure."

I have had many years preparing students for the SAT, GRE, GED, ACT and various military service tests. While the ultimate results of tutoring lie with the student, I have been successful in helping to raise test scores significantly.
In addition, I have tutored students in pre-school, elementary school, high school and college who want additional help in English, reading, math, and science.
I have worked in the after school programs for No Child Left Behind at various public schools and have been successful in augmenting children's understanding of math and the language arts. As part of the after school program, I have had an extensive background check and was issued an Arizona Department of Public Safety Level One clearance card.
I have played chess all my life and have been on several chess teams during the years and have played in tournaments. I continue to play regularly and have acquired a great deal of experience playing chess. I have taught chess privately and continue to do so.

Government has cut 48% of comms staff since 2010
The government is aiming to "professionalise" its communications operation to retain high-quality employees, after revealing its has cut nearly half of its staff since 2010.
Alex Aiken: says the talent pool must be widened after staff cuts
The new Government Communication Service launched today (15 October) to improve standards and career development.
Alex Aiken, the executive director of government communication, said: "There has been a structural change. Government communications has lost 48 per cent of its staff since 2010."
Although he said staff numbers wouldn't increase, Aiken told Campaign it was essential to hire varied talent into the slashed workforce. He said: "We retain some very good people, but I'm beginning to sense that unless we widen the pool – while staying within some fairly tight spending limits – we will be desperately trying to attract the best talent from the pool we have."
The government currently employs 1,900 people for communications in Whitehall and 1,200 in arms-length bodies such as NHS England.
Communications were overhauled in 2010 when the coalition government announced its intention to spend money only on essential campaigns.
Last year, the Central Office of Information, which previously organised marketing campaigns, was dissolved and its remaining remit transferred to the Cabinet office.
The new GCS will replace the loosely-organised Government Communication Network.
Sean Larkins, the head of government communication policy, said: "The Government Communication Network was never a professional home for our staff. The new service will work on coordinated approaches to recruitment and shared standards for staff so we know the best people in some departments are equal to the people in others."
Sam Lister, director of communications for the Department of Health, said: "This is about having pride in the profession of government communications as being absolutely a-grade and excellent.
"We don't want to invest a huge amount of time and effort in training people to be really good communicators and then lose them to the private sector as soon as they reach a certain standard."
The centralised GCS body will also train staff in digital communications, with the aim of focusing on more digital and direct marketing that can be more effectively evaluated than television, print and outdoor campaigns, according to the GCS.
Francis Maude, the minister for the Cabinet Office and chair of the GCS board, said: "Our civil service reform programme is designed to equip civil servants with the right skills for tomorrow's world, helping Britain compete in the global race."

Thread: Rennes and surrounding areas
If you have the opportunity to go to Brittany, visit one of the DIVINE stores (in Caen, Saint Malo and Dinard) : they carry DIVINE (obviously !) but also : Acqua Di Parma, The Different Company, Les Parfums de Rosine, Serge Lutens, Annick Goutal, Creed, Lalique, Caron...
If you are straying in Rennes, Délice Parfumé on Rue de Penhoët is a very small shop that carries Serge Lutens, as well as the Frédéric Malle range (the only place in France, except Paris I believe).
I fortunately had the chance to visit the graceful Saint Malo and I've been at Divine shop while they were launching L'homme sage, so had the honour to have it sprayed on my arm by the Divine perfumer in person: a true gentleman which also talked me about the concept of the scent.
Btw, also recommend a trip to Dinard, very nice places...

30 Seconds in the Mother City
Rob PetersCape Town played host to yet another sold-out show this past weekend with 30 Seconds to Mars packing the Grand West Casino on Sunday night. Frontman Jared Leto may not have been quite as active as fellow singer John Legend, but he still managed to snap a couple of pics – and post a video - to Instagram, chronicling his time in the Mother City. To be fair, the group didn't spent quite as long in town as the R&B crooner, but it's still pretty clear that the city worked its magic on Leto.
Free Wi-Fi planned for MyCiti busesCommuters on the MyCITI rapid bus service will have more reason to jump on board with the City of Cape Town planning to offer free Wi-Fi. According to a report on BDLive, the city is conducting a pilot project which will allow access to the Wi-Fi while travelling or waiting at various stations in and around Cape Town. The news comes on the back of the city's announcement on Thursday that it has entered into a partnership with Orange Wi-Fi service to provide Wi-Fi to people living in parts of Khayelitsha and Mitchell's Plain.
