Jackson, Michael (Contemporary Musicians)
Singer, songwriter
A powerfully creative and disciplined artist, Michael Jackson is a distinctive vocalist, an imaginative and original songwriter with a gift for turning his own experiences into powerful lyrics, and a dancer almost without peer. Keeping control over his own career, he ruled pop and R&B music charts throughout the 1980s. However, beginning in the 1990s and continuing into the new millenium, Jackson's erratic behavior overshadowed his music, and his private life made more headlines than his music did during that time.
Previously the lead singer of the beloved family group the Jackson 5, Michael Jackson was in his early twenties when Thriller catapulted him into the ranks of the rich and famous. He has never matched the success of Thriller, and in the 1990s and early 2000s, his career suffered serious reversals, the most damaging of which may have been the accusations of child abuse leveled against the singer in 1993. By 2000, the star of the self-proclaimed "King of Pop" seemed to have dimmed. But no one who remembered the explosion of his talent during the previous decade could doubt either his overall impact as a performer or his ability to once again seize the limelight.
The Jackson 5 Was Born
Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in the steel manufacturing center of Gary, Indiana. His father Joseph had played guitar in a local group called the Falcons; his mother Katherine was a country music enthusiast who instilled in her eight children a love of singing. Joseph, very demanding and rumoredy his childreno be an abusive man, aimed to turn his five male childrenackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michaelnto musical stars, and by 1964, before Michael's sixth birthday, had formed them into the Jackson 5. The group played in local arenas and travelled throughout the Midwest performing before they were noticed. Attracting the attention of hit singer Gladys Knight and pianist Bobby Taylorot Diana Ross as some have claimedhe Jackson 5 were signed in 1968 to the Motown label, whose roster of youthful black acts had reliably been generating hits for several years.
Michael's exuberant vocals defined such catchy Jackson 5 hits as "ABC" and "I'll Be There," both of which hit number one on the charts in 1970. He released three albums for Motown as a solo artist, with singles such as "Ben," "Rockin' Robin," and "Got to Be There" reaching top chart levels. With Michael as lead vocalist and choreographer, the group toured extensively, giving audiences electrified shows that made the Jackson 5 more popular with each new show. Joseph Jackson and label founder, Berry Gordy, Jr., never saw eye to eye. Joseph always believed his sons could produce and write, but were limited by Motown's management. The Jacksons left Motown after a dispute over artistic control and signed with CBS's Epic label in 1976.
Motown sued and the Jackson 5 lost its name. Michael filed a lawsuit in 2003 to regain the rights to the "Jackson 5" name, as well as millions in unpaid royalties he claimed he was owed, but the case was thrown out in court. After leaving Motown, the brothers (minus Jermaine, who opted to stay with Motown), now known as The Jacksons, went on to be successful on the Epic label with such hits as "Blame It On The Boogie," "Shake Your Body," and "Heartbreak Hotel," all of which were written by various Jackson brothers.
Solo Stardom
Michael sought to carve out a career independent of his siblings. Though he made solo albums as a child on the Motown label, it was on Epic that Michael became a superstar in his own right. He played the Scarecrow in the 1978 film The Wiz (opposite longtime friend Diana Ross in the role of Dorothy), and during the making of the film met music executive and producer Quincy Jones.
Jones would become one of the architects of Jackson's grand successes, creating a light, sophisticated production style that effectively showcased Jackson's quiet yet intensely dramatic vocals. A musical eclectic since his jazz days in the early 1960s, Jones also encouraged Jackson to experiment with novel stylistic fusions. The first fruit of their efforts was Jackson's 1979 release Off the Wall, which mixed disco and ballad elements and spawned four top ten singles.
Emergence of a Pop Icon
Jones also produced Thriller, the long-awaited followup to Off the Wall. After the release of 'The Girl Is Mine" (a duet with ex-Beatle Paul McCartney) as the first single, the album's sales built slowly. But with subsequent singles, Jackson emerged spectacularly as a personality who could appeal to diverse audiences like no one else in American music had been able to for years. "Beat It," featuring rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen, crossed over to attain popularity even among fans of heavy metal music; "Billie Jean" drew on Jackson's own experience of unjust paternity accusations. Both songs reached number one, and "Billie Jean" made him the first artist to be number one on the pop single, pop album, R&B single, and R&B album charts simultaneously. Thriller went on to generate an unprecedented total of seven top ten singles. The album roosted atop Billboard magazine's sales charts for 37 weeks, and at its peak was reported to be selling more than 500,000 copies every week.
In 1985 Jackson co-wrote the international famine relief single "We Are the World," one of the biggest selling singles of all time. For a time, it seemed that everything Jackson touched turned to gold or platinum. His videos for the Thriller album helped to put the fledgling music video network MTV on the map. His videos also showcased his dance moves that were still being imitated well into the 1990s. His most famous move, the Moonwalk, became a dance craze. Jackson first displayed the Moonwalk in his video for his song, "Billie Jean." Jane Fonda in Time magazine, described his music as "A fresh, original sound. The music is energetic, and it's sensual. You can dance to it, work out to it, make love to it, sing to it. It's hard to sit still to."
Jackson could also count as fans of his dancing, such pros as Bob Fosse, Gene Kelly, and Fred Astaire. Astaire was quoted in Time as saying, "My Lord, he is a wonderful mover. He makes these moves up himself and it is just great to watch I don't know much more dancing he will take up, because singing and dancing at the same time is very difficult. But Michael is a dedicated artist."
His next album release, 1987's Bad, sold 22 million copies worldwide, a disappointment only by the lofty standard Thriller had established. Bad included five number one singles, including "Bad" and "The Way You Make Me Feel." Dangerous, released in 1991 with new producer Teddy Riley at the helm, likewise topped 20 million in total sales. Dangerous produced "Remember The Time," that won R&B's Best Single at the Grammys. The album also featured kid rap duo Kris Kross, rapper Heavy D, and Princess Stephanie of Monaco.
In the years following the release of Thriller, Jackson found himself subject to the isolation that artists in the top echelon of fame inevitably experience. A devout Jehovah's Witness, he adopted a disguise and went door to door to promote the religion shortly after the album was released. But the pressures of stardom eventually made it impractical for him to continue his religious activities, and he renounced his membership in the sect in 1987 after his video "Thriller" was condemned by the group. A public perception of Jackson as a curious recluse began to take shape about this time. He was a constant subject of stories in the nation's tabloid press. Someuch as the story that he slept in a levitating "hyperbaric chamber" for the purpose of extending his life spanere planted by Jackson's own operatives as a way of garnering publicity. Jackson's skin seemed to become progressively lighter, leading to rumors that he was bleaching his skin in order to appear whiter.
Rocked by Scandal
Jackson countered this rumor in a February of 1993 interview with television talk show host Oprah Winfrey, claiming that he suffered from vitiligo, a rare skin disease. But public unease with the star increased markedly as a result of much more serious allegations that surfaced in August of that year. Jackson was accused of sexually molesting a thirteen-year-old boy at his Encino, California, compound, called Neverland. The singer had long enjoyed surrounding himself with children; in September, his sister La Toya claimed that he had sometimes spent nights together with young children in his bedroom. Jackson strongly denied any wrongdoing, maintaining that he was the victim of an extortion plot on the part of the father of the thirteen-year-old. The case was settled privately for a sum of nearly $20 million in January of 1994, and charges were dropped, but it cost Jackson a lucrative endorsement contract with Pepsi-Cola.
A few months after the settlement, the media announced the secret marriage of Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of singer Elvis Presley. The marriage, seen by much of the public as a possible distraction from the still-fresh court publicity, took place on May 26, 1994, in the Dominican Republic. Jackson's hopes that this would be the start of a life of tranquility were shattered when Presley filed for divorce in January of 1996. In November of the same year, Jackson married Debbie Rowe, his plastic surgeon's nurse, in Sydney, Australia. Rowe gave birth to their son, Prince Michael Jackson, in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on February 12, 1997. The couple, who divorced in 1999, were graced with the birth of a daughter, Paris Michael Katherine, in April of 1998. Rowe, who later described the children as "gifts" she gave to Jackson, has no contact with her children. People quoted her as saying, "I had them because I wanted him to be a father I didn't do it to be a mother."
Attempted to Revive Music Career
Though Jackson's personal life continued to pique the public interest, reception to his music cooled considerably. Despite a $30 million marketing campaign, Jackson's 1995 release HIStory: Past, Present, and Future Book I fell short of expectations with its sales of two million units domestically, 12 million internationally. A 1997 album, Blood on the Dance Floor: History in the Mix, fared even worse, with little marketing and domestic sales in the hundreds of thousands; it consisted largely of remixes by various hit producers of songs from the 1995 HIStory release. Jackson seemed to be attempting to update his style to fit with the technology-driven musical trends of the 1990s.
Early in 2001 he was inducted as a solo artist into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, and later that year he released his first album of all new material in ten years, Invincible. Additionally he made an appearance at the MTV Music Video Awards and appeared as a headliner in Washington, D.C., at a benefit concert for victims of terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, against the United States. However, despite these attempts at a musical comeback, Jackson's curious lifestyle overshadowed his performance.
In early 2003, Jackson attempted to dispel rumors by opening his life up to the public eye. British journalist Martin Bashir followed Jackson around with a camera for eight months, gathering hundreds of hours of footage, which was ultimately edited into a two-hour television special. On film, Jackson speaks blithely of sleeping in beds with young children, introduces his third child, Prince Michael II (affectionately known as "Blanket" for the head covering he is always wearing), as the product of "a surrogate mother and my own sperm cells," and alleges he only had plastic surgery on his nose in order to hit "higher notes." These statements, coupled with other bizarre acts including dangling his youngest child off the third story balcony of a German hotel, had many wondering whether Jackson was fit to be a father.
Jackson expressed outrage at being "betrayed" by Bashir, as he told People. His brother Jermaine concurred, comparing the documentary to a "modern day lynching." Jackson put together his own television special, culled from his own cameramen that taped Bashir taping Jackson, in an attempt to set the record straight. While it didn't soothe all critics, some felt that the persecution of Jackson had gone on long enough. MSNBC writer Michael Ventre opined, "What he should do to again conquer the charts and make the public focus on his talent rather than his 'idiosyncracies' is to return to his roots. Take some blues and funk and rock and pop, mix in a large dose of passion, recruit Quincy Jones to produce, and release something that harkens back to the old days."
Jackson returned to the studio in late 2003 with an unlikely collaborator&B hitmaker R. Kelly, who was also going through his own set of trying circumstances. Jackson cut a new Kelly-penned single, "One More Chance," which was scheduled for release in November of 2003, the only new track on Number Ones, a collection of all his greatest hits of the past 25 years, and one more chance for Jackson to revive his music career.

Back -- to the story we mentioned at the top of the hour there -- some very powerful testimony this morning in front of a gun violence task force in Hartford Connecticut.
It came from a man named mark -- we lost his son James in the December 14 school massacre at sandy hook elementary.
He spoke passionately about his son.
The shooting.
The issue of mental health.
And how he thinks that more gun laws.
May not provide all the answers we need that he spoke were told for about 1015 minutes so we've actually called.
The highlights from that.
Watch here.
I think there's much more.
Promise for a solution.
In identifying researching ends.
Creating solutions along the lines of mental health issues I think there is a lot of work that can be done there and I -- our friends.
The Richmond to -- Forging a -- down that road.
I believe these issues especially gun violence are not as complex say you as you've been told there's been a lot on keeping.
Lot of politicians.
Telling you the way that it is and it's very difficult complex I don't believe it's so complex.
I believe the solution may not be as easy to implement as you might X as -- -- my hope but it's a simple concept.
We need civility.
Across our nation.
What we're seeing are symptoms of a bigger problem this is a symptom.
The problem is not the gun laws.
The problem is a lack of civility.
So I'm 42 when I was 25 years ago I was.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- TV today just normal TV fourteen year -- -- out there watching.
Lauren orders EU and and CIS and it's it's just disgusting.
We need civility across our nation we need common decency to prevail.
How is about James his age he was six.
And changed subject for a moment.

Cultivating character.

Okay back to the age six.
My mom took -- to the grocery store.
And my parents -- -- children.
Coming out of the depression so they're not there and entertaining impulse purchases.
So I asked for a pack of bubble gum and my mom says no so I stole it.
Well not did not go over well when my mother discovered this as we pulled into our driveway and she drove back to the -- Made me and to come back to -- to catch here and apologize.
And senator never do it again -- is a type of parenting we need at parenting is.
Where we need to focus our attention we do not need complex laws.
I am a big proponent.
Individual accountability.
And enforcement.
So they're going to be laws we should enforce them.
What I would say -- Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the country and I would say.
Two people who wanted to have a civil discussion on -- topic I don't think that gun laws are protecting -- people let alone 500 who perished last year in the NC.
What have those laws done to make Chicago a safer city nothing I proposed.
Can't we do better.
Criminals by definition break the law.
What we experienced in sandy hook it did they break the law of course they -- all these 500 individuals who were killed and -- how they're breaking the law.
Is one more law I don't care you name it -- -- law I don't want that.
I think we have more than up on the books we should.
Hold people individually accountable for their actions and we should enforce.
Laws appropriately and I would say we are not currently it enforcing them appropriately.
That -- father.
You can just imagine I mean it's been just barely a month since his son was murdered in his.
First grade classroom.
Little James manually dead at age six.
Joining me now Bradley and the former deputy assistant to president George W.
Bush and -- -- -- -- a Fox News contributor and former political advisor to New Jersey senator Frank Lautenberg.
It's your reaction -- what a powerful voice.
Powerful reason and common sense approach from a man who has everything to be bitter about.
But he wasn't bitter all I'm a victim of gun bioterrorism was kidnapped when I was eighteen if -- shoot -- up at our house.
The two guys who perpetrated the crime against me.
And my mom they didn't have legal guns.
But my position.
On gun control is the same as mr.
-- the only he has a much.
Harder cross to -- he lost a son James I'm here.
But 88 caution and reason common sense approach to gun control is where America should be we have enough laws and he's right.
We don't have the kind of enforcement we need and then also he spoke to mental health.
That the people who perpetrate these crimes are mentally ill in most cases they're beyond criminal.
They're mentally ill and they should be treated as such we should get them the help they need before they act out.
You know -- if nothing else does it's just at an important new voice to the debate because so many who have.
-- are in favor of gun control have been somewhat dismissive of the other side and their motives you know.
Even the president has suggested that those who -- appears about this or are after ratings are revenue.
It's not what this guys after.
Now quite honest man having a hard time trying to keep it together now as a as a as a mom and then just you know I have all the respect in the world for this man six weeks after the biggest tragedy that could possibly happened -- father.
To go out there and have to say it would be sending you know I respected I don't necessarily agree with everything that he said.
Far be it for me -- for anybody wasn't watching issues to to criticize anything that he's saying.
Look there there's nothing to be sent other than he makes very makes very good points about civility and fortunately -- that you can regulate civility.
These kinds of tragedies happen and then people kind of move on and go back to the status quo what it used to be.
I have to believe we do have we do need some more sensible gun laws for example universal background checks which -- the majority -- -- support.
I think those are -- good idea but look he's right that we need to discuss these civilly.
And again far be it for me -- for for any of us senate even comprehend with this man has gone through in the past six weeks.
-- saw some other parents from Newtown backing the president Brad last week and even the president flanked by children when he made his gun control announcement and yet.
You know mark many only reminds us that there are.
Entirely reasonable.
People who are hurting -- -- the as a result of horrific gun violence.
Who see this issue a very different way.
Absolutely and he would he would get up on a soapbox.
And and try and proselytize his views based on his own personal.
Experience with the death of his son James quite the contrary.
He he laid out a good case better than anybody I've heard so far as to how we should approach.
The problem of gun violence in America.
It should be yes civil.
But all she should be factually -- and we have enough laws on the books now if we chose to execute on those laws and and make them.
In word what they mean in action.
And if he gave a powerful.
Demonstration today it is at -- at that hearing I hope that a lot of people not only see it but read his testimony.
And that something is done.
Pro actively.
In in the line of his response that we're not going to to go Willy Nilly like they've done in the senate -- -- the senators bill from California.
That -- you know it's it's amazing to me that the senator could could get a bill on gun control yet they can't get to see -- get their act together on a budget it's a knee jerk reaction.
-- just mentally how should I mean you heard him Juli talk about mental -- Versa you know he said at the end.
Criminals by definition break the law is one moral law the answer and he was asking about mental health well you know and I -- to calm fashion.
Foxnews.com few weeks ago about -- that I that I had who was incredibly mentally ill in the point that I was making was that she would be able to go.
To the gun show and purchase a gun of any kind without any kind of background check and so I was saying that essentially what you need is these universal background checks.
At places like gun shows and among private sales to ensure that mentally ill people would not be able to get their hands and -- gun now.
In the case of of sandy hook and fortunately this was not a gun that the killer -- mother purchased it.
C would've got his hands on it anyway but we are talking about mental health.
About people who are mentally ill having access to guns we need to make it much much more difficult for -- -- debated what to do that much more easy for them to get help and for them to get into -- wrapped -- a 100% right I'm not disagreeing with you on that at all -- were talking about what the focus on that where is the focus on now I -- we should -- -- -- you're not gonna -- his agreement for -- look at all the same thing I don't think President Obama I -- -- politicians taking -- -- I'll I'll I'll tell -- -- -- -- the problem.
Is that we've had these sort of privacy concerns over the past several decades about saying we can't share data are we can't force people -- mental health treatment.
Of course we can't people who are generally -- to do it all the time we we can do it and we should do -- people who are generally.
Genuinely excuse me a danger to society absolutely.
You're right about that now listen thank you both so much for you every and I appreciate it.

With Hayward struggling with his shot and our team really struggling to get easy buckets in the paint and at the FT line Burks could have really made a difference last night.
With Hayward struggling with his shot and our team really struggling to get easy buckets in the paint and at the FT line Burks could have really made a difference last night.
Corbin sucks.
"Bottom line is I want to go somewhere where guys are willing to win. It's not all about the pay checks, somewhere where the franchise is going in the right direction" - Trey Burke, Leader
And Hayward his first two years showed he was so mature. It is about seeing time on the court Favors, Kanter, and Hayward have seen tons of time on the court and Burks hasn't seen the time hence his struggles. The fact is that this team isn't anything special so why not give him a chance.
To quote George "W" "For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it." --Philadelphia, Penn., May 14, 2001
Right, because Burks has shown us over the course of his young career that we shouldn't expect anything more than 20% free throw shooting from him.
I swear, some people act like last season never happened, and that the couple minutes here and there every few weeks when Burks finally gets on the court is exactly what we should expect if he was getting a consistent 20 minutes per game.
Kennykyle is kind of clueless when it comes to the burks situation.....very narrow minded only looking at his numbers in his limited time on the floor this season when he has been playing small forward and point guard as much as his preferred position of shooting guard..... also the majority of his minutes have been with end of the bench guys like evans and murphy.
All he can see are the numbers though, not what is happening to help make those numbers exist.
Yeah, but it does kind of show his lack of focus when he gets put into the game. He doesn't seem to look at getting into a blowout game as an opportunity, rather he sees it as a punishment.
Also, I thought it was kind of funny the moment someone gets injured to free up time for Burks (Mo), Watson comes back to take the minutes. If Watson was still injured, we would be seeing a Foye/Burks or a Burks/Hayward backcourt.
It started with Earl [Watson], Randy [Foye] and Marvin [Williams]the veteran guys. I thought the young guys did a good job of following their lead getting us off to a good start. - referring to the Jazz/Bobcats game on 3/1/13
Earl, Randy, and Marvin started the first quarter 0-3, scored a whopping zero points, and finished with a turnover in the first quarter.
Your head coach of the Jazz ladies and gentlemen.
I don't think it shows us a damn thing. If we were to use such a small sample size, Millsap and Hayward must totally suck based on last night.
We have all of last season to go off of. The combined 20 minutes spread out over 5 games (or whatever he's gotten this season) don't mean anything. Of course the guy isn't going to play to his full potential if he only gets 4 minutes a week of playing time, and all of those minutes in garbage time with a bunch of scrubs who are all trying to showcase their own individual skills rather than play team ball.
Corbin himself has said many times that Burks deserves more minutes. The clowns on this board saying otherwise are clueless.
Wasn't disagreeing that he needs more minutes. Obviously I think he is better than his stats indicate, I just think you can tell from his body language in his limited time he doesn't play those garbage minuets as if they matter. That in turn has made for some really ****ty stats over a small period of time.
Personally I'm beginning to wonder if Burks "gets it" or even if he is good enough for PT. This is starting to remind me of the Mo Almond situation. Hopefully it doesn't turn out that way.
"Bottom line is I want to go somewhere where guys are willing to win. It's not all about the pay checks, somewhere where the franchise is going in the right direction" - Trey Burke, Leader
He also rebounds well and ALWAYS draws fouls no matter the game situation or how many minutes he actually gets.... That is one area where he is very consistent. Getting to the line. (making the free throws on the other hand, not so much)

Tomb Raider: Underworld added to Core Online
Tomb Raider: Underworld, the final Crystal Dynamics Tomb Raider game prior to the this year's reboot, is now available free-to-play on Core Online, Square Enix's cloud gaming portal. Underworld is a curious beast as it was the most ambitious project of the second wave Tomb Raider games but fell remarkably flat, triggering a dramatic retooling of the franchise. It's got some pretty terrific shark bits, as I recall. Get ye to the free game.

"I absolutely wish we could have spent more time polishing Underworld," says Tomb Raider dev
Posting on the Tomb Raider forums, TR: Underworld creative director Eric Lindstrom has confirmed that he was one of the 30 laid off last week, and has said that he wished Crystal Dynamics could have spent more time working on the game.
"I absolutely wish we could have spent more time polishing Underworld," said Lindstrom. "I take my share of responsibility of aiming so high that we had a reduced ability to spend time on polish."
He also wanted to answer the critics with regard to the 360 exclusive DLC:
"I cut content from the game and it later turned out to be possible to use in DLC, for which I was happy," he said adding that, "it was a coincidence that we had some candidate content for DLC when the deal was made. I was glad for it, otherwise the stuff I had to cut out would have never seen the light of day."
Eidos said this morning that Lara Croft was due a complete overhaul.

…and we're back – Christmas news round up
Happy New Year. We're glad we shut down over Christmas. You didn't miss a whole lot.
By far the most important story over the break was news that Free Radical cut its workforce by 140 to just 40.
The developer was confirmed as being in administration just before the Christmas holiday.
Speaking to 1UP, Cameron Gunn of administrators ReSolve Partners said, "We made around 140 employees redundant yesterday, effective 31 December (the date up to which they had been paid). We're still trading on with the remaining 40 or so employees, have advertised the business for sale and have received some strong interest."
News broke mid-December that staff had turned up for work only to be locked with a notice on the door telling them to adjourn to a nearby hotel.
Free Radical aside, other noteworthy Christmas news included confirmation that Mistwalker JRPG Cry On has been cancelled.
"AQI decided to cancel the project after analyzing the current market environment and forecasts for the future. We deeply apologize for troubling those who were awaiting its release," said a company rep.
Cry On was apparently part of "Hironobu Sakaguchi's triumvirate of Xbox 360 titles," says this 1UP piece (the other two being Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey), and for those of you who don't know, the game "was to be an action-RPG featuring a Nobuo Uematsu soundtrack [and] character designs by Kimihiko Fujisaka."
Full round up below.

A Fayetteville man was sentenced Thursday in federal court to 9 1/2years in prison for robbing two banks in 2011.
Rason Lamar Sparkman, 31, whose last known address was the 400 block of Cedric Street, pleaded guilty in September to two counts of bank robbery, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Wilmington.
Sparkman was accused of robbing the former RBC Centura Bank, now PNC, on Ramsey Street of $1,869 on June 27, 2011, the release said.
On Aug. 8, 2011, Sparkman went into the former Wachovia Bank, now Wells Fargo, at 200 S. McPherson Church Road, demanded money and left with $4,414, the release said.
Authorities identified Sparkman as the robber through the bank's surveillance video, according to the release.
Sparkman was ordered to pay a total of $7,132 in restitution, the release said. He will be on probation for three years after he is released from prison.

For every person in the country that thinks Barack Obama is a Muslim Socialist Psychopath bent on destroying the country while wearing jackboots and a Hitler moustache, there is an equal number on the other side that think all Conservatives are bible thumpin' troglodytes who want to legislate every human behavior while making sure that every president from here on out is equal parts Jerry Falwell & John Birch.
Now, for the remaining 60% of us who aren't beholden to any single political party and generally vote for R's, D's and Indies depending on the election, we'll continue to use logic and reason, and we'll continue to determine the outcomes of elections.
The rest of y'all can continue to cancel each other out and be irrelevant.

text: Home eMed What kind of co-founder gets the biggest stake in the company? Rate This 12345 Chris Seper Here's a quiz you should take (I'll give the "right answers" at the bottom): Should co-founders have equal shares in the company at the start? And if not, how do you determine who gets more? The more than 200 entrepreneurs, investors and other early-stage advocates had that question asked at this weekend's Kauffman Foundation Life Science Ventures Summit in San Francisco. Overwhelmingly, the audience said co-founders should have different equity stakes depending on what they bring to the table. How do you determine who gets what equity? That was a little more complicated. Attendees could choose from seven answers: Who came up with the idea Prior social relationships Research/tech skills Ability to raise funds Business acumen Social network – size and reach Executing the idea Go ahead and rank these from least important to most important. First, a little context. Research shows the idea person, no matter where they wind up in a company – CEO, CFO, chair, CTO, etc. – almost always gets a premium on equity for coming up with the idea. But they get more equity for the role they play in the business. If the idea person is the CEO they will get 60 percent equity or more (compared to 42.1 percent if the CEO is not the idea person). And that is true down the line. An idea CFO gets 30 percent equity (13.3 percent if not the idea person) An idea chair gets 60 percent equity (35.1 percent if not the idea person) An idea chief operating officer gets 50 percent equity (28.5 percent if not the idea person) An idea chief technology officer gets 33 percent equity (27.6 percent if not the idea person) How did the Kauffman summit attendees rank the seven areas? Executing the idea Who came up with the idea Ability to raise funds Business acumen Research/tech skills Prior social relationships Social network – size and reach? How do your answers match up?

Kim Kardashian Does a Lingerie Spread [PHOTOS]
Reality star slash pretty much useless person Kim Kardashian recently took time out of her busy busy day of abject famewhoredom to put on bras and panties you can't afford and stare off into space for the French magazine Factice.
Slightly NSFW photos below if ladies in lingerie (or Kim Kardashian's face) are an unacceptable part of your work day.
2012 American Country Awards – Best Dressed
The American Country Awards took place last night (Dec. 10) in Las Vegas and an assortment of country stars, singers and actors were on hand to celebrate the genre.
We'll preface our Best Dressed lineup by saying there were a dearth of wow-inducing gowns and dresses, so nothing blew us away. The red carpet was sorely lacking in "oomph" factor and there were a lot of "meh" looks.
That said, some of country music's first ladies and more looked lovely in brightly colored dresses, so these were the best dressed of the lot.
See Over 800 Santas Running in Germany
Roughly 800 people put on Santa costumes for the Fourth Annual Michendorf Santa Run in Michendorf, Germany. The race is sponsored by Laufclub Michendorf (which translated means Michendorf Running Club, imagine that) and is 10 kilometers long. You can't quite tell from these pictures, but it actually began snowing pretty hard during the race, which probably makes these the most Christmas-y photos ever. Enjoy!
Harry Styles, Taylor Swift Make Out in Public
Harry Styles and Taylor Swift recently gave each other tonsil exams over dinner with a group of friends in New York City, because that's what 15-year-olds do when they only have so much time to kill before their parents pick them up.
(Dude, don't give us that "but she's almost 23!" business. We're talking mental and psychological age here.)
10 Weird Christmas Finds on Pinterest
With all the time we spend on Pinterest, it's no wonder we've come across so much quirky and awesome stuff. Half our holiday gift and decorating ideas come from the site alone! Want to check out Disney/Star Wars mash-up art or a cheeseburger dress? They've got you covered. Not surprisingly, the site also has a whole slew of questionable holiday products you can pin and repin, like a pickle ornament or a creepy spandex reindeer costume.
Kate Middleton Will Be the Most Stylish Mother-to-Be [PHOTOS]
Yes, Kate Middleton has a crumpet in the royal oven, so it won't be long until her normally tall and willowy frame will boast a burgeoning bump that the world will "oooh" and "aaah" over like she's about to give birth to the Baby Jesus himself.
Given the classic and stylish outfits she's always worn, we can probably expect more of such in the months to come. So this is as good a time as any to hum 'The Way We Were' and peruse some of the Duchess of Cambridge's best looks -- before her waistline starts to really expand.
10 Weird Fad Toys Every Kid Had to Have for Christmas
You can always spot a parent around the holiday season. Their hair is a frazzled mesh of cow licks and stray strands as if it's been pulled by a crowd of frantic people. Their eyes dart around in all directions desperately seeking something that could suddenly appear at a moment's notice. They break down and cry during commercials that advertise "the hottest toy of the holiday season."
Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell Prove That Naked is the New 40 [PHOTOS]
Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell have been putting the "super" in "supermodel" for decades now. Kate is 39 and Naomi is almost 43, so you'd think their steamy topless magazine spread days would be over.
Au contraire.
The half-naked pair melted the pages of the December 2012 Russian and German editions of Interview magazine, and we found a sneak peek for you. You're welcome.
The 10 Best Baby Photobombs
Photobombing takes some serious skill. It's all about the right timing and awkward positioning that makes for the ideal ruined picture. Most times, it takes years of practice to achieve this sort of obnoxious talent, like pro 'Photobomb Girl' or the world's most awesome stingray. But did you know there's a certain breed of people who seem to have this whole photobombing thing down pat with little to no effort required? Little kids.

FARMINGOALB, LONG ISLAND NBW YORK n- ACGIBII VOL. 1 No. 5 STATE UNIVERSITY AGRICULTURAL AND TECHNICAL INSTITUTE AT FARMINGDALE May 3 . 1963 WE FAILED MISERABLY I WILL TAKE OVER-KOGOK CONSTRUCTION SUATI's plan to construct and finance expanded medical facili-ties through a $10,00 assessment to each student has been dis-approved by the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York. The Board of Trustees recognized that SUATI's health facilities were inadequate but stated that SUATI's health needs were the responsibility of the Board of Trustees. It suggested that the Institute detail its needs and indicate its estimate of suit-able facilities to house the Med-ical Center. The board suggested as an alternate plan the utiliza-tion of existing dormitory space. The Institute is presently studying this possibility. Members of the Faculty-Student Association were informed, before the Spring Recess, by Dr. Laffin that SUATI's proposal to erect a temporary clinic was rejected by SUNY Board of Trustees. It was, to be financed tlu-ough the use of a Faculty-Student Assoc. loan and rt'payed by a student assessment foe. This decision of the Board of Trustees was reached after lengthy discussions with Dean Orvis, Kxecutive Institutes and Conun unity Colleges, by Dr. Laffin. It was stressed that if either College or dormitory space would be used, State funds will be sought to pay for the space which would normally be used by ilormitory students. Since the announcement, Insti-tute personnel have been survey-ing the dormitories for a possible solution to the problem. It is not clear as to whether the Dormitory Autliority would relincjuish needed space in the dormitories. KOGOK CALLS FOR FACULTY, STUDENT AND ADMINISTRATION CHANGE IN ATTITUDE DR.

Cubing, the elected vice president, was assuming the presidency because of the resignation of president-elect Joe Zarnitz.

Kogok reaffirmed many times that he did not come to the dinner to condemn anyone but only to speak objectively and present both sides of the issue. ^ ADMINISTRATION TAKES OVER - - ' STUDENTS FAIL Mr, Kogok read a letter from the administra-tion directing that it had assumed the responsi-bility of scheduling all student functions. This was a direct violation of both the Student Council and Institute Council of Clubs constitutions. Kogok pointed out that none of the student officers had been informed prior to this action. He sided with the administration by admitting that it would be desirable for the administration to take this responsibility, Kogok elaborated more by saying we (students) did not meet our responsibilities through the Student Council and ICC, Students were not representedbecause the elected officers refused to attend meetings, The representatives failed to see the importance of student govern-ment to their school and their country stated Kogok, Kogok was interrupted by applause when he said, "Itake difference merely with the fact that students were not given the right to say this themselves J " in reference to the administration letter, STUDENT ACTIVITIES A RIGHT Kogok stated that the student activities pro-gram was an educational program. "One of the best curricular activities on this campus is our extra curricular activities.''' He pointed out that extracurricular activities is not a privilege but a right of the students which they were not taking advantage of. He summed up by saying that "we can be great, the activities program can be great and the College can be great, if we work to-gether." CALLS FOR SUPPORT OF MEETING Kogok concluded with an appeal to the "tri-cotomy" of students, faculty and administration to support an open meeting this Monday night in the Field House. He asked Dr, Laffin to con-cure with him that "this must be a joint effort, " Dr, Laffin took the podium and acknowledged Mr. Kogok's sincerity but did not agree on his stand.

There a lot of things a man should understand by the time he hits 30 years of age.
They include simple things like always putting the toilet seat down or more complex things like handling the death of a loved one.
The moment a person thinks that they've learned enough or adopts the dreaded mentality that they know everything, they become the most ignorant person on Earth.
The flood of knowledge from a five-year-old is ever increasing, and the idea of him having more insight than most grown-ups is always humbling to me.
Here's a background story on the most recent example of this truth.
I exited the gas station and got into the driver's seat of the car where the wife and children sat in silence.
A very, very odd silence.
It was odd because I couldn't recall the last time that happened with the exception of kids being asleep.
Taking it for what it was worth, I played along and didn't say anything. I was unaware that I was in the midst of a round of "1, 2, 3, Hush Puppy."
*This is the 21st-century equivalent of the quiet game – also known to other generations as "be quiet or else." (No one I know was ever brave enough to find out exactly what "or else" was).
So I took this silence in the car as a brief and rare moment, and reveled in it.
An eternity passed. It seemed like a whole lifetime of seasons changing -- the whole world changed, before the silence was broken.
"8, 2, 3, we can stop now," the boy chirped from the back.
The moment of clarity was broken, and I glanced at the clock which read 8:23 p.m.
Then the wife made it all make sense.
"Ok, we're done. Do you know how long you were quiet for?" She asked this with that all-knowing tone only mothers have. "Three minutes," she said.
My jaw dropped. That was what three minutes of silence from the kids is like?
It felt like at least a week's worth of quiet and calm. I had time to reflect on my day and even ponder the meaning of life.
Those three minutes of silence, both shockingly long and oh-so-short, brought forth a flood of things I should have been thinking about all along.
What happened to that hamster we had?
The dimension of time is a funny thing. The perception of it is even funnier.
They say time flies when you're having fun. This is true, but not the whole truth. In reality, time flies, and that's where the adage should end.
As the boy spends so much time thinking about what kind of car he wants to drive when he gets his license (yeah, that's already a concern for a five year old American male), we keep telling him not to wish his life away.
Page 2 of 2 - I think back to all of the late-night diaper changing and wishing he was house broken (or do they call this "potty-trained" now? I'm still confused on this one).
All of those moments flooded back with one similarity.
Once the boy was able and demanding to do those things by himself, the want to help and take care of him became stronger.
Although the memories will last, I realize that I've wished parts of his and my own life away.
I don't really want to get into a live for today because tomorrow isn't promised versus always plan for the future debate.
But it is a question I ponder daily. Can we really sit here and enjoy today without worrying about what tomorrow will bring? On the opposite side, why waste time basking in the glory of today when we can be working to make future days brighter?
It's hard to find a medium on that one.
Just a few blocks from the house after a few minutes of backseat chatter I hear "ok, let's play again, 1, 2, 3 Hush Puppy."
But by then I forgot what I was thinking about. What do the wheels on the bus do again?
