At an elite university, Amy Haskel has been initiated into the country's most notorious secret society. But in this power-hungry world where new blood is at the mercy of old money, hooking up with the wrong people could be fatal. The countdown to Amy's graduation has begun, and suddenly the perfect ending to a perfectly iconoclastic college career is slipping from her grasp. Her new boyfriend is considering an offer he can't refuse, while Amy hasn't even filed her fellowship applications. And the young woman she's chosen to take her place in Rose & Grave seems to come complete with a secret life already intact. Lunging toward real life in the world beyond the hallowed halls of Eli University, Amy finds trouble around every corner, from society intrigues and unlikely stalkers to former flames and mandatory science credits. Surely it couldn't get worse . . . until Initiation Night explodes into a terrifying scene and into a final test of wits for a young woman just trying to make it out of the Ivy League in one piece.

That's the only explanation I can think why 40 percent of consumers would rather get in a fender-bender than accidentally destroy their iPad. Or why a third would rather have a root canal, and 16 crazy percent would rather break their nose. In fact, according to a survey by Brainshark with over 1300 iPad owners, 10 percent of iPad owners would rather lose their jobs than break their iPad. That's the ultimate in illogicality, as most of our jobs would provide more than a few iPads-per-month in pay. Part of the reason, perhaps, is the utility of iPads in business. 82 percent of people who own iPads check work emails on the device, and 72 percent do research for work. I'd be careful using someone else's iPad in the office, however, as 60 percent of people — three in five — report using their iPads on the toilet, and another 34 percent say they use their tablets naked. For all the gory details, here's the full infographic: photo credit: Mike Licht, NotionsCapital.com via photo pin cc Mobile developer or publisher?

09.10.06 - By Valerij Rudolph Calmic and Izyaslav Slava Koza: One night in Paris, five years ago during my trip to Europe, I happened to turn on the TV in my hotel and catch a BBC special on the condition of the Moldovan prison system. For those who care, and for those who dont but are reading anyway, the capital of that republic, Kishinev is where I was born.
It goes without saying that the special did not paint a flattering picture of the countrys administration. The tuberculosis- ridden inmates, some of whom, teenagers, were no older then me, were dying and suffering mainly because the department handling the corrections facility could not gather a thousand dollars to take off rotted metal window bars, preventing fresh air from circulating inside the cells. The special concluded with the statement that Moldova was the poorest country in Europe.
The above was written as an honest reason behind my motivation in asking Valera to conduct a drawn up interview on my behalf, with the only perspective fighter from the country that brought me into existence. I doubt many fans outside of the former CIS have heard about Ivan, and coincidentally, I have my doubts as to whether some folks actually know where the country of Moldova is located or that such a country even exists.
However, for those that have seen the movie, GhostBusters and had, or have issues with Geography, now you know that the country, Moldova, is just as real as the fighter, in Ivan Gontsa who represents it.
What can you say by looking at Gontsas record? The only victory of note should be the one over then undefeated Alisultan Nadirbegov, a Russian native who in his last outing went to war with former prospect Kuvanych Toyganbayev and pulled off the upset via TKO in the 11th. Toyganbayev is a fighter that was profiled on Showtime before and did look impressive in his win over Oba Carr, but slipped off the radar and then the winning path. Coincidentally, many ringside reports have mentioned that the bout between Nadirbegov and Toyganbayev was easily the best fight of the year shown on Russian television. Spurred on by the win Nadirbegov will now and next go up against extremely talented and undefeated WBO light middleweight champ Sergiy Dzindziruk, and if Alisultan can defeat or at least limit test Dzindziruk, who defeated touted Daniel Santos for the belt, then miraculously Gontsas stock should and hopefully will rise.
For now, though, the lone Moldovan hopeful should fight sometime two weeks from now in Moscow against an as yet unknown opponent, still hoping someone will give him that one single chance necessary for success. The chance Winky got from Mosley, and the one given to Ivans friend Sergei Lyakhovich against Brewster, and the one many names, legends, pretenders and contenders have received and made or destroyed their reputation and legacy on. Without it, this interview may be the only opportunity you will ever get to find out about one of the faceless millions of warriors and the small and faceless nation he comes to represent.
ESB: Hey Ivan! Greetings from America, and thanks for your time. What do you know about your next fight and opponent?
Ivan Gontsa: The bout will most likely take place in Moscow between the 17th and 19th of October. I am in fact headed to St. Petersburg now to finish up my training and spar. I dont know who my opponent is but I do know he is from Belarus.
ESB: Was your last fight ( against Ukrainian Maksim Velichko) a hard one or was your opponent easy to figure out?
Ivan Gontsa: It was hard psychologically, since the fight was in our native Kishinev. I just couldnt get into the best of shapes, cause I basically train in the Ukraine not at home. Truthfully though the fight was easy. It was your typical tune up bout. In the beginning of next year, my team is planning to get a title shot against the WBO intercontinental champ.
ESB: Your last fight was the first professional bout that took place in Moldova that I had ever heard about. Were there similar evenings of boxing and do they have any potential to become more common there?
Ivan Gontsa: We did have these evenings of boxing before, but not officially, even though everything was done by the professional boxing book. For instance, we held the Ukrainian and Romanian championships. I think pro boxing has a future in Moldova.
ESB: Currently, you are the only, more or less successful Moldovan pro boxer in the world. How would you rate the guys from Moldova and are there any up and comers with potential now?
Ivan Gontsa: Yea, these guys exist, although mostly at the lighter weights. For instance, we have a strong fighter, by the name of Igor Samoilenko, who beat Ukrainian Vladimir Sidorenko at the 97 world championships, but then lost to the future amateur world champ from Cuba. Sidorenko as those who follow the sport know is now the WBA champ at his weight. Other then that, I would also mention Vyacheslav Gazhan.
One of the best Moldovan fighters, Valeri Yakunin, 3 time national champ, recently beat Andrei Semenov of Russia. However, he is extremely weighed down by both his family and constant work, which takes away a lot of his time. For many Moldovan fighters, boxing is a hobby not a profession. You cant earn money at it. Yakunin, for example, earns a living by making and installing windows and doors with aluminum siding.
ESB: Who is your manager now and who is your promoter? What plans do they have for your future?
Ivan Gontsa: My manager is Vladimir Nikolayevich Kushnir, from St. Petersburg. In terms of promotion my interests are currently represented by the Russian promotional company Pushka. Regarding plans for my future, as I mentioned, my sights are set on capturing the WBO intercontinental title.
ESB: Who is the best fighter at your weight right now and why?
Ivan Gontsa: Right now? Its hard to say. There is no one guy. Before the best was my idol Felix Trinidad. Oscar De La Hoya shares the top spot with him now.
ESB: Who is the best pound for pound fighter in the world today?
Ivan Gontsa: About p4p, again, I am not sure. However, if we are talking about Heavyweights I consider Sergei Lyakhovich from Belarus the best. He is very fast and very vicious.
ESB: How and at what age did you start boxing?
Ivan Gontsa: I went to one of the local boxing gyms in Kishinev when I was 14. By the way, my next fight will be an anniversary of sorts, because at about this time years ago I put on the gloves for the very first time. Anyway boxing wasnt my first sport when I was a kid. I was still searching so to speak. I had tried swimming for about three years, and also some track and field.
Finally, a friend of mine took me to that gym. They had about 40 kids there, and after about a year I was the only one left. Soon after I took second place at the city championships among amateurs and was well on my way.
ESB: When you were a kid who were your idols among the Soviet stars of the time and why? Who do you think was the greatest Soviet fighter of all time? Also who did you like among the great fighters abroad?
Ivan Gontsa: Among the former Soviet guys, my idol was Kostya Tsyzu. Why? Well he basically owned the ring when he was in it. In the pros much the same way as in the amateurs. As far as naming the greatest of all time, I really cant decide here. From the international guys, my favorite was 2 time Olympic champ Cuban Ariel Hernandez.
ESB: Who do you like among todays current stars?
Ivan Gontsa: Cant really say. Nobody comes to mind.
ESB: Imagine for a second that Don King or Bob Arum are offering you a contract and a fight against any top fighter in the world. They are also letting you pick the location. Who would you fight, where and why?
Ivan Gontsa: Really, I think, that decision should be made by the whole team and never just by the fighter himself. Although Kushner, my manager, had a guy named Andrei Pestrayev, who they brought in against Pernell Whitaker. The fight was very even, but they gave the victory the American at first, but then an investigation determined the result should be overturned. Officially Whitaker was accused of using drugs, but I have my own opinion regarding the result of that bout. So anyway, I would of course love to get a chance to fight for a world title.
ESB: Now imagine that Merlin, the magician gave you a time machine, so you could go back in time and fight against any boxing legend, Soviet or International. Who would you try to fight and why?
Ivan Gontsa: Never really thought about a fight with any past legends. However, it would be nice to return to my own past if possible. Five years ago, when I was boxing under Ukrainian management, I had a chance to fight for the intercontinental title in Italy. I was in excellent shape then, but they gave me the visa only on the day of the actual flight. I didnt go to Italy and missed my chance.
ESB: Tell us about your amateur career? Where did you take first place, what was your amateur record, and which relatively famous pros did you meet up with during that time?
Ivan Gontsa: I had around 260 fights during my amateur career and won 217 of them. Among the more famous opponents I had were Suleiman Oglu, the European champ, who I lost to by one point in Turkey (laughing). My other famous opponent was a Ukrainian with a Moldovan last name, Andrey Tsurkan, who now fights in America and is very successful at it.
I was also the champion of the Balkan countries Tournament in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, in 1997. A year before that I was supposed to go to the junior world championships in Cuba, but it didnt happen for me. Instead I went with the national team to Yugoslavia where I won that tournament at only 18. I was also awarded the Best Boxer cup at those games. In 1999 I reached the finals of the European Cup in Lvov, Ukraine.
ESB: Did you spar with any famous fighters? Anything to be proud about like knockdowns, or praise from their trainers?
Ivan Gontsa: I sparred with the former European champ at middle Maxim Nesterenko. Right now, I am headed to St. Petersburg, where I will have some sparring sessions against former world champ Roman Karmazin.
ESB: Are you friends with any famous guys outside the ring? If so with who and how did you meet?
Ivan Gontsa: Not anybody in particular but I am on good terms with many guys from Belarus, Russia and Ukraine. For instance, in the Czech Republic I met Sergei Lyakhovich and we had a few beers together.
ESB: Now some questions about politics and Moldova. Whenever, any major local newspapers, like the New York Times, write about your neck of the woods, the impression most readers get is rather grim. The electricity doesnt always work, poor people are traded like commodities, or flown here so some of their organs can be removed and sold on the black market. The worst is the description of certain human organs being sold on the street instead of food. On the other hand, some acquaintances and those close to me, who were there recently say that life there is ordinary, and the country is rising up from its ex Soviet knees. Can you describe the situation in the country from your point of view?
Ivan Gontsa: I often visit many other European countries, and I think that even 10 years ago Kishinev had begun turning into a European city. I love my homeland and will never leave it. We have a beautiful country, with such wonderful strawberries, such peaches! Such beautiful women wherever you go! Its only about 180 km to the ocean. Our country is beautiful, and to prove it people are leaving Russia now and coming to live and study here. For instance, I dont like St. Petersburg, because it seems very gray, and very depressing, and the people are almost exactly the same, and are always upset about something. Almost no hot women there.
I do also like Kiev. Its very nice, and roomy, and the people seem very kind there as well.
ESB: From personal experience, I know that in America very few people know about Moldova. Even less probably know about the territory behind the river Dnestr, which is apparently pushing to become an independent country. What do you think about this, and do the citizens of Tiraspol have a right to demand independence or would you rather see one, single, united Moldova? What can you tell us about the other autonomous region called Gagauziya?
Ivan Gontsa: Honestly, politics doesnt interest me much. Many of my friends live in Tiraspol and we are on excellent terms. As far as Gagauziya, we have a stereotype of sorts here that the Gagauz are evil. This is simply untrue, because I know many people from Gagauziya, and have many friends among them. Valera Yakunin was born there for instance.
ESB: A year or two ago, your president Vladimir Voronin, visited the U.S. and our president promised to help develop your countrys economy. In January of next year, Americans will no longer need visas in order to visit Moldova. Do you think this is a sign of something positive, and is he serious about helping Moldova, or are these simply empty promises?
Ivan Gontsa: I cant really comment on things that presidents say, sorry. I am just not that interested in politics.
ESB: What sites would you suggest Americans check out if they decide to visit the country of our birth?
Ivan Gontsa: As far as sites go, I would suggest visiting our Lakeside resort Vadul-lui-Vode, which is ecologically the cleanest in all of Europe.
ESB: Would you want to see Moldova moving closer to us and the West or to Putin and Russia? Perhaps a third option would be to become one with Romania?
Ivan Gontsa: I think, the best would be moving closer to the West.
ESB: What do you like to do in your free time? What do you like to read, watch on TV or in the movies, and what kind of Music do you like? What music do you use or would use for your ring walk?
Ivan Gontsa: I dont have a favorite type of music, and basically listen to everything they play on the radio. My favorite types of movies are Thrillers and horror flicks. In my free time, I like to go camping, and to barbeques with my friends. I rarely go to night-clubs. In the evenings, its much better to sit down with my friends in a quiet bar, and drink some beer or some of our Moldovan Cognac. I strongly suggest any tourists or guests to our country try Dojna or Tiras, those are my favorites brands of our Cognac.
ESB: Tell us about your family? Married? Kids?
Ivan Gontsa: Im not married and I dont have kids, although I want some. Right now, there is nobody to have them with cause I havent found the right person. I want to find the kind of girl that will stay with me forever.
ESB: Tell us about your trainer Anatoli Piika? How did you meet?
Ivan Gontsa: He is my first trainer and has remained my trainer up till now. He became and replaced my father, who had died right when I started boxing. Anatoli Piika is a very soft spoken, warm, and polite person, who never goes off and never curses. With my second trainer, I could and have, argued, but with Anatoli its completely different. He is special because he works with everybody equally, and unlike other trainers doesnt pick one, or two favorites and leaves the others to do things on their own.
ESB: As far as I know, you dont have a boxing moniker, but as many fighters have begun to realize, this is often necessary for marketing, self promotion, as well as financial success and popularity. What nickname would you pick for yourself?
Ivan Gontsa: Somebody else has to come up with one for me.
ESB: Do you think you are a famous personality at home? Do people recognize you when you are out on the street? Besides Zdub si Zdub, a Moldovan rock band, I have not heard about any Moldovan stars from the entertainment industry. Can you name some famous folks in todays Moldova? (Like say Actors, Artists, Composers, or eccentric politicians)?
Ivan Gontsa: Once in a while, people recognize me, but I wouldnt consider myself famous. Really many people in Kishinev recognize each other out on the street. As some say, Kishinev is just one big little town. As far as current stars, I would pick out Nataliya Gradienko, who recently represented Moldova in this years annual EuroVision contest.
ESB: In conclusion, what would you want to say to the people who will read this interview?
Ivan Gontsa: Come and visit Moldova. Many tall-tale myths will disappear right before your eyes. Its really not as bad as they write about. With each passing day, the country looks more and more like any other part of Europe.
I would like to thank Ivan Gontsa for his time, as well as the people at Komsomolskaya Pravda, for helping Valerij get in contact with him. It goes without saying that Valerij also put in a lot of his own time to get this interview so this should also be acknowledged and appreciated as he is a very busy guy. Thanks, Rudolph!

Don't get me wrong, weight gain for almost any reason really isn't good, but I think most of you will be smiling by the end of this. So, I'm thinking a little poem is in order:
A little bean that starts to grow
a little line is what lets us know
with little eyes, toes and hands
a baby grows while mom expands
mom just smiles for it's what she knows
that safe inside a baby grows.
You'd be surprised at how many baby emoticons there are on here!
As for those of you curious, I haven't stopped eating healthy (er) than I had been. I still walk and do light exercises, and my doctor isn't concerned about the 10lbs that I've lost in the last trimester. (I attribute that loss to a HUGE craving for green beans.... I thought I was about to become one!)
And definitely after the last year (more if you ask my hubby) of being ready, we finally get to add a 3rd baby to our family. Finally, for those of you getting ready to ask, yes I already know about sparkpeople's sister site called babyfit. =)
Probably sleeping actually. I've been pretty tired lately. And before any of you go on about getting thyroid checked or needing more Vitamin D. I know that's not the cause. I'll share the news when I'm ready, I'm just not there yet. Until then, I'll try to check in a little more often, and stay on track with eating healthy and staying motivated to move.
Yes it's true, my brain hates me. If my brain loved me I would be able to go places without having to give myself a pep talk first. I would not feel like I'm going to die when I pick my daughter up from school. I wouldn't dread heading to the supermarket to get groceries. I would hate leaving the house.
This has been going on for as long as I can remember. It has lead to me quitting just about every job I've ever had, quitting school, and it's the reason why I don't make friends that easily.
But at least I know that I need help. I need to see someone to fix what is broken with me. I can't live fearing everything that is outside my house. I shouldn't fear public places because I have no way to escape should I have a panic attack. I want to enjoy the things I used to WAY back when. I want to feel normal again.
Please don't feel sorry for me, because that is not what I'm asking or saying. But please, feel free to leave encouraging words to help me through this.
My name is Beth and I have agoraphobia.
(just really needed to put this somewhere and get it off my chest.)
Well.... I actually didn't get around to doing it. If you read my last blog (I think) it gave a glimpse into why I didn't get to it this week.
At some point in our lives we will all experience the death of a loved one. For some of us, it can send us spiraling back into our bad habits from before (myself included). What we really need to strive for is a way to deal with it effectively without food. What are some ideas that we can use to help calm our grief without stuffing our stomachs?
Celebrate the life they had- I can't stress this one enough. My fiance's great great aunt loved her life. Even after she had a stroke and was in hospice, she still managed to find a way to do some of the things she love like having flowers in her room (she loved to garden and truly loved nature) and loved seeing our kids when we brought them to visit.
Learn from their past- Making it a point to see how they grew up is important. It shines a light into our soul and reveals how truly great this person was in our lives. The kind of music they listened to growing up, the friends they kept, the love they shared with those close to them.
If you didn't get to say goodbye- say it now! If that's what you need to feel closure (although, I think this is totally the wrong word choice) then do it. Don't let their life coming to an end stop you from living yours. They still love you no matter where they are, but you are here, you have the ability to accept things that you can't change, and that includes the loss.
If you need someone to talk to, send me a sparkmail and I'll be more than willing to chat with you about whatever you have on your mind.
I know this one seems a little dark, but there are at least 2 sides to everything. Figuring out what they are may not be easy, but it is possible.
This week has just been the most awful, horrible, craptastic week by far, and it's ONLY Tuesday.
Yesterday, barring much thought to this week's MM (which I'm currently doing) I had to drag myself to do it. I feel happy for the person who has shown much success, but I just feel so angry. WHY me? Why have I been stuck at the same weight since August? Where am I going wrong?
I exercise, I eat relatively good, and still it just seems to be stuck! I dunno, I just feel MAD!
This was after I had spent the morning taking my oldest to the doctor yet again because she keeps having accidents at school (everyday for the last 2 1/2 weeks). I had to argue with the doctor about getting bloodwork done. I know something is not right with my child and the doctor chalks it up to a behavior issue? GIVE ME A FLIPPING BREAK!!
So after arguing with the doctor she okays bloodwork and we go from the doctor office to the hospital and get the bloodwork done. This didn't go well at all. I could clearly see that the technician was nervous, so I know my daughter could, too. After several minutes of coaxing, nothing had worked. We (another technician and myself) ended up having to restrain her so the technician could draw blood. I really feel for my little girl. I wanted to just cry and wail with her.
From there I just felt worse. Because I know on Thursday she has an ultrasound and x-rays. I know those aren't as bad as a needle in the arm, but still frightening for a little child. To top off all those medical things going on with her, she also has an appointment with the urologist for UTI on top of UTI.
If dealing with all of that doesn't make a mother drained, how about what's happened today!
Ah, today. It blew. Totally blew. I woke up this morning to a child not dressed for school (her dad usually gets her dressed, but she couldn't find socks or a shirt.) and I forgot to pack her lunch for her field trip (they went pumpkin picking). I had to call the medical center to get her appointment for today changed because I didn't want her to miss said field trip. I could clearly hear the lady on the other end of the phone's tone with me as I changed her appointment. Was she never a kid? Did she never take field trips? Give me a break lady because you KNOW there are going to be walk-ins anyway!
I almost forgot to eat lunch today because of all the crap going on.
Then, while making dinner I get a call from my fiance's mother. I like talking to her, but I was stressed enough with 2 kids fighting, making dinner, and getting the fiance up for work (it's like trying to raise the dead!). Not the best time for someone to be calling to bug me.
So dinner's ready, hubby's is packed for work because I didn't get him up quick enough (which means I'll have to clean the containers out of my car tomorrow because he ALWAYS forgets to bring them in). The girls are eating and the phone rings AGAIN! This time it was my dad, he wanted to talk because well, he's technologically impaired (he has a facebook, but, well... you get the idea). So cold dinner for me because it's rude to talk and eat at the same time.
After I eat, the phone rings yet again! Seriously people, you know I get my kids ready for bed starting around 7:30! Ah, it's his mom again. This time we talk about my fiance's dad retracting his offer to help his sister pay for their wedding (yeah, we do things in pairs in this family... be we don't have the same wedding date.... I would KILL because of that! ok, not literally, but you know what I mean...) I mean, I if you say you're going to pay for it then stick to your guns! Don't flip flop just because it's convenient for you.
So then I get complaining about Popsicles while I'm trying to tidy up a little (because my future mother-in-law is bringing over lasagna over for dinner tomorrow ... it's good but a calorie overload... and I'm sick of cooking!) and I still haven't managed to get any of that done because I've had a headache for the last 5 hours.
So after a bit the phone rings again, and it's my fiance's mom, again. This time she called to tell me that my fiance's great aunt passed away 20 minutes earlier. She told me to tell him, but he still hasn't called and he ALWAYS calls me from work to tell me good night.
I don't see this week getting any better, but who knows. Tomorrow is a new day. I can start over and go from there. Breathe in, breathe out. Breathe in, breathe out. One day at a time.

... Many academics continue to contribute to their fields well into their so-called retirement years, their productivity keeping them safe from forced retirement through post-tenure review processes. What happens, then, to the 20-somethings looking for those elusive research positions and coming up short-changed because of reluctance by senior faculty and administrators to hang up their lab coats?
Faculty tend to be relatively healthy and enjoy the continual intellectual stimulus of campus life. Forcing senior faculty out is a poor option as it sends a negative message to their junior colleagues about what they have to look forward to.

We have a couple of decades of evidence that good things happen when you point TV cameras at Tori Amos; witness, for instance, this video of Amos playing "Winter" on The Tonight Show is 1993 and reducing Jay Leno to a stuttering mess. Last night, she did it again, performing entirely solo (just her and her piano) on Conan and giving an emotionally intense performance of "Wild Way," a conflicted love song from her new album Unrepentant Geraldines. Watch the video below.
Unrepentant Geraldines is out now on Mercury Classics. It's nice to see someone carrying the flame of '90s-style cat's-eye glasses, which are, like, double-retro now.

Volleyfrogs Drop Fourth Consecutive WAC Contest
FORT WORTH, Texas (Nov. 20) - The San Jose State Spartans took care of business with an impressive 3-0 win over TCU Nov. 20. San Jose locked up sole possession of second place in the WAC and improved its record to 21-7 (12-3 WAC) while TCU falls to 14-18 (5-10 WAC).
The Spartans jumped on the Frogs early taking a 6-0 lead in game one and eventually putting them away 15-6. After falling behind 4-0 in game two the Frogs battled back to make it interesting. TCU took a brief 5-4 lead but could not withstand the Spartans powerful offense, falling 15-9. Game three was more of the same as TCU fell behind 7-2 and could not overcome the early deficit. The Spartans put the Frogs away with a 15-11 win in game three, sweeping the season series 2-0.
"We didnt play well enough to beat a good team like San Jose," said head coach Sandy Troudt. "I am proud of how hard the girls fought tonight, but we need to execute a little better on offense to beat good teams."
The execution Troudt is talking about shows in the teams hitting percentage. The Frogs hit just .139 and committed 29 attack errors. During TCUs current four game slide they have hit under .180 in each match and committed a total of 128 attack errors.
Marci King led the Frogs with 11 kills while Bethany Toce recorded a season high 11 kills. Lindsay Hayes recorded her 10th double-double of the season with a 40 assists and 11 digs.

Three 6 Mafia have managed some amazing feats in their time, as the duo of Juicy J and DJ Paul, not only have created some anthemic hits like "Tear The Club Up", "Sippin' On Syrup", and "Stay Fly", but also have 1) beat Martin Scorcese to his first Oscar (that's Oscar, not Grammy) and 2) [cont.]
We've quickly seen the rise of New York City's A$AP Mob, a crew led by A$AP Rocky, who's scored a few high profile guest driven hits with "Fuckin' Problem" (feat. Drake, 2 Chainz, and Kendrick Lamar) and "Wild For The Night" (feat. Skrillex). With another nine members bearing the prefix A$AP before their rap moniker [cont.]
Fresh on the heels of the excellent Jammin' 30: In The Mornin' mixtape, today Detroit holdout Boldy James announces My 1st Chemistry Set, his first long-player and fully collaborative project with LA super-producer The Alchemist, due October 15th on Decon, the label heavily involved in newly relaunched media hub Mass Appeal. Here Boldy delivers verses [cont.]
Things come along, present themselves, and then in certain cases, resonate directly with the culture. The climate is right, the window of opportunity is open, the right person seizes it, and the perfect storm takes place. Case in point might be something like Star Wars in the 80′s or Arrested Development in the Bush era, [cont.]
You have heard Grammy Award-winning trumpet player Maurice "Mobetta" Brown before. After all, he's appeared on LP's from Santigold, Ski Beatz, John Legend, Talib Kweli, Cee-Lo, Diddy, Musiq Soulchild and countless others; but you heard his trumpet and not his voice. Think Louis Armstrong and his trumpet uploaded for the 21st century to a Hip-Hop [cont.]
Flint, Michigan's Jon Connor has been lyrically destroying instrumentals on the mixtape and blog scenes for the past few years, and has built up a steady buzz because of it. In 2011, Connor delivered his first official album, Salvation, which displayed his talent as an emcee, but fell short on the production side. With Unconscious [cont.]
Twerking Disney Princess, Miley Cyrus, will appear on the remix to French Montana's inexplicable hit, "Ain't Worried About Nothing". For whatever reason, French thought it would be a good idea to announce this in wake of Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse. Bad timing, or desperately needed some attention?
Statik Selektah has rapidly risen through the ranks as one of the most solid and consistent producers in the game. Over the past few years alone, he managed to release collaborative albums with each Action Bronson, Freddie Gibbs, Bumpy Knuckles, Freeway, Termanology, and others, all while continuing to release annual solo LP's. While we've seen [cont.]

Ludacris sits high on stacks of money, thanks to endorsement deals and movie roles, which his illustrious rap career has paved the way for.

ere's a lost jewel from Diamond District's Uptown XO featuring the other MMG's big spitter Wale. The original track (sans Wale) was produced by Oddisee, but for the new version XO recruited Diamond District brother yU to show off his production skills, then had Wale drop a verse. Uptown XO's current album "Colour de Grey" [cont.]
14KT is preparing for his upcoming album "Nickel & Dimed" dropping on September 3rd via Mello Music Group. The Ypsilanti, Michigan producer has been on the fringe of breaking through to a larger audience for years and "NIckel & Dimed" is another chapter to this rising profile. "Nickel & Dimed" is served in 2 parts, [cont.]
Bay Area icon, The Jacka, and Space Age Entertainment's Dubble-OO team up for the release of their collaborative project, "Futuristic Mob" which promises to have the perfect mixture of The Jacka's signature Mob sound that his fans have grown to love and Dubble-OO's spaced out-futuristic style which speaks to the younger generation that just wants [cont.]
Gary, Indiana's Freddie Gibbs has had a tough year. After being featured as one of XXL's 2010 Freshmen, he quickly landed a deal with Young Jeezy's CTE imprint, which would be followed by the release of his critically acclaimed mixtape, Baby Face Killa. While the project was not technically an album, it featured all original [cont.]

It was a sad day in the year of the group's 20th anniversary, that we saw Mobb Deep suddenly break-up, after Havoc publicly blasted Prodigy via Twitter, followed by a leaked audio recording of Hav spitting more vitriol towards P.

Despite only having two albums to his credit, R.A. The Rugged Man is a legend in every sense of the word. Hardly over-exposed, Rugged Man's past antics have included getting dropped from his label in the 90′s (as Crustified Dibbs) due to "violent & disgusting behavior", submitting a song to Jive called "Every Record Label [cont.]

While the 90′s are often referred to as hip-hop's golden era, the dark, sample heavy beats that dominated New York rap at the time is a sound long lost.

A Saudi Woman Turns ChristianbySamuelx©
Guillermo and I were stunned, to say the least, because we both thought I was sterile. The doctor, a pretty Mexican lady with glasses, told us that we were about to become parents. I explained to her a bit about my past, especially where I had difficulty conceiving. I honestly thought myself barren. The doctor's explanation for my present condition was lengthy and scientific, something to do with my diet, and how I might have been exposed to some contraceptives without knowing. My eyes widened, and with a start I realized what I should have realized before. Back in Saudi Arabia, my former husband's other wives always cooked the meals for us, since I was useless in the kitchen. They fed us. They must have been putting something in my food to prevent pregnancy. The thought enraged me. If I could get at those bitches! Guillermo hugged me tenderly, and I kissed him. I gently squeezed the crucifix which his mother Maria had given me on our wedding day, and thanked my savior Jesus Christ, the Holy Messenger of God, for His blessings. If my co-wives Khadija and Zahrah hadn't been feeding me contraceptives without my knowledge, I might have produced offspring for my former husband, and would have been bound to him instead of reveling in the freedom I now enjoy. God truly does work in mysterious ways. I embraced my husband, and we left the doctor's office, hand in hand. What a day!

4 Families Start Recovering From Foreclosure
You've heard about the bad mortgages, about sad struggles with insolvency, about the wave of foreclosures that has crashed over America.
But what happens next?
Every day, thousands of Americans begin their lives again after they are ejected from their homes.They rent, live with friends or family, or seek refuge in a shelter. They usually have stacks of overdue bills, empty savings accounts, and a red flag on their credit reports that will take years to fade. They often suffer from feelings of shame, failure and displacement. The Housers, the Melendezes, the Gambinos, the Boykins ¿ four families from different backgrounds and different states ¿ are all enduring the same life smack-down. They've all lost their homes within the past year. They've learned lessons and changed behaviors. They've opened new doors after their front doors closed, turned to social programs that helped or let them slip through a crack. They all seek happily ever-after endings. But there are no guarantees.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

TheStreet) -- In my first post of the day I cover the 26 components of the
PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index
The daily chart of the semiconductor index shows overbought momentum with the index above its 21-day, 50-day and 200-day simple moving averages at 479.50, 476.97 and 444.39. This week's value level is 479.94 with monthly and semiannual risky levels at 516.08 and 533.56.
Chart Courtesy of Thomson/ReutersThe overall market remains under a ValuEngine valuation warning with 77.1% of all stocks overvalued 43.9% by 20% or more. The computer and technology sector is one of ten sectors overvalued by more than 20%. Three of the 10 stocks shown in this table are undervalued with four overvalued by more than 20%. Nine have buy ratings and one has a hold rating. Three are lower in price over the last 12 months with Entropic Communications (ENTR) down 29.1% and Peregrine Semiconductors (PSMI) down 49.9%. Among the seven higher over the last 12 months Semiconductor Manufacturing (SMI) gained 95.6%. Three are trading below their 200-day SMAs therefore the seven that are above their 200-day SMAs have risk of a reversion to the mean.
Reading the TableOV/UN Valued: Stocks with a red number are undervalued by this percentage. Those with a black number are overvalued by that percentage according to ValuEngine. VE Rating: A "1-engine" rating is a strong sell, a "2-engine" rating is a sell, a "3-engine" rating is a hold, a "4-engine" rating is a buy and a "5-engine" rating is a strong buy. Last 12-Month Return (%): Stocks with a red number declined by that percentage over the last 12 months. Stocks with a black number increased by that percentage. Forecast 1-Year Return: Stocks with a red number are projected to decline by that percentage over the next 12 months. Stocks with a black number in the table are projected to move higher by that percentage over the next 12 months.

Royal Racing Drift Jersey - Men's
Good jersey, runs large
I have this in the Ash/Black color combination. It does indeed breath well and is fun to wear. I typically wear a large, so that's what I got originally, but it was huge on me. I sent it back for a medium and that fits me like a large in most clothing would.

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

How I did it: It's come from a few different things:
1. Making a list of things I like about who I am now
2. Starting to do things that I've wanted to do but put off
3. Addressing negative emotional feelings and limiting beliefs
4. Establishing new beliefs and principles to live by. Read how I did it… 2 years ago
I felt off this morning before I started going through my "Things I like about me" list, about 80% of the way through it I started feeling like I agreed with the stuff on the list. I got a chance to add a couple more things to the end of it. How awesome is it to think about going through a list of over 100 things that are neat about yourself every day. By the end of a list like that it'll be hard to feel anything but positive.
The cool thing is that there's enough on that list that allows me to be imperfect, awkward, critical and emotionally honest. 2 years ago
I'd like to wake up in the morning and just naturally feel good about the person I'm living as.
Right now I'm using my list of "Things I like about me" as sort of daily affirmations. I've got to say after reading through the list (that's getting pretty darn long) I do feel more gooder. And we all know, gooder is gooder than good. 2 years ago
Specific – not exactly
Measurable – not really
Active – no, not active
Reasonable – yes, it's reasonable to feel good about myself
Timely – no, there's no mention of any time period here 2 years ago
