Hip-Hop Rumors: Lauren London & Mos Def? Ja Rule to Retire? New Lil' Wayne Video!
JAY-Z AND MARY J. BLIGE CD? I know how true this is, but the source is pretty good! I heard that Mary J. Blige and Jay-Z might be in talks to do an album. Basically, this is a concept album in the same spirit as Jay-Z's Best of Both Worlds with R. Kelly. Mary and Jay have worked together in the past for years and years. I think it could be a good deal.

This anger over an inability to display some flashy windows is really blowing my mind right now. I'm sure that we'll all take advantage of this to bone microsoft again, but there are other things they've done that we should focus on.And wth is up with the VP buying a 2100 dollar machine that can't run Vista?!? How can anyone say that's MS's fault lol. The kid's an idiot. .
New Milford's Bellagamba uses his head on wrestling mat
The only thing Bellagamba can't do is pack the stands for wrestling matches. New Milford may be ranked No. 2 in the state poll behind Danbury, but that doesn't mean wrestlemania has hit the student body. "It's a little disappointing," Bellagamba said, referring to the lack of student support at matches. "We work really hard and some people just don't see that. They think all wrestling is kind of barbaric . . . that it's just two guys fighting. But it's really a lot of technique and a lot of effort that you've got to put in. "I'd like to see a lot more people. I've been asking kids around school. I've been saying, 'Hey. Do you want to come to our wrestling match?'"" No matter how many people are in the stands, though, Bellagamba always gives his best effort. He's also fortunate to have teammates who can push him in practice.
Free Speech Friday
However, I do wonder if more environmental activists wouldn't benefit from reading a column by Tom Friedman. “You try that approach on people without jobs who live in neighborhoods where they've got a lot better chance of getting killed by a passing shooter than a melting glacier, you're going to get nowhere." In no way am I criticizing WashPIRG's — nor any other environmental activists' — passion for the greener cause. I just believe, as does Friedman, that if they wish to really make people care — especially low-income folks, who, frankly, have better things to worry about than polar bears losing their habitat — then they need to really need to focus on the “So, why should I care?" crux of the issue. In his column, Friedman profiles nonprofit leader Van Jones, who works in Oakland to inform the predominantly black and low-income community about how they can specifically benefit from a greener United States. For example, Jones suggests that a greener United States could open the doorway to new solar industries, which could then lead to more jobs, which could help employ at-risk youth, which could bring the crime rate down, which could — well, you get the picture.
