Music Intro
Jay-Z recently finished his eight day concert series at Brooklyn, New York's Barclays Center. He had many surprises including an appearance from his wife Beyonce on the last night. Here is some video of the two performing together.
RZA Organizing Wu-Tang Final Tour?
While promoting this upcoming directorial debut, the RZA recently spoke with Power 105.1 and dropped some interesting information regarding the Wu-Tang Clan.
"I don't know [if there will be another Wu album]," he said. "I know that the 20th year anniversary is coming up, and some of the brothers have been talking about potentially going back in, maybe do a world tour. I see like one last hurrah to close the book. 20 years is a long time for a Hip Hop artists to definitely be in the business...usually three to five years is the run and you're gone, but we've been doing what we've been doing, being successful with it, feeding our families for 20 years with it...right now, I think all the brothers are aboard. I talked to everybody, they're like, 'Yo, get it cracking, get the cash-rule correct, and bong bong.'"
RZA is always an interesting dude, and I really hope that the group can get together to make an album for their 20 year anniversary. The group was revolutionary with their sound in the early 90's and really were the originators of the supergroup in hip hop. A final album and farewell tour seems like a fitting way to end the group on a high note, and have the members officially go their own separate ways.
In other Wu-tang clan news, RZA dropped more information on not one but two upcoming biopics of the late ODB. During an interview with The Playlist, RZA revealed that there are two biopics surrounding the late rapper.
RZA said that in addition to Dirty White Boy, another film titled Dirt: One Word Could Change The World is on the way. "There's two things going on with the ODB situation," he said. "There's Dirty White Boy, which is about the manager of ODB, and his last two years. And there's another one with a working title called, Dirt: One Word Could Change The World,that his family is more involved with. His mother is involved with Dirty White Boy. I'm involved with both, anything about his life, I want to help out with any capacity. His mother told me I should come in and help."
The Wu-Tang Clan member said that he's thinking about scoring Dirty White Boy, which focuses on ODB's manager, and might play a role in it. As for Dirt: One Word Could Change The World, RZA said it's more about ODB's life. "As far as Dirt, that actually starts back when we was young," he said. "Me and [ODB] ran through this city, man, cutting school, stealin' pretzels from the hot dog stand, being vagabonds, sleeping on the trains, drinking '40s on the back of the A Train, rapping, getting chased by the police. It's a coming of age story that me and him and a few of our cousins went through, Then it goes on into finally becoming Wu-Tang, going through that hell. And then it takes on his side of it, not my side."
It is interesting that two projects are in the works regarding ODB, however, I hope this does not 'water' down individuals involvement in the projects. I think it would be best to just have everyone focus on making one great project, instead of potentially splitting the audience with two different projects. Only time will tell if these projects do the late ODB any justice in terms of telling his life story.
Nicky Minaj vs. Mariah Carey
The rivalry between the two divas on American Idol continues to completely overshadow the contestants on the show as footage has been released of the heated argument between Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey. Additionally Mariah Carey seems to have called in some favors and now has the support of the View and Barbara Walters as she continues to play the victim card in the entire situation.
On the program, Barbara Walters said that she called Carey before the show. Carey said that multiple people heard Minaj when she walked off the AI set say, "If I had a gun, I would shoot the bitch." Carey has since hired extra security and said she feels "emotionally uncomfortable."
Minaj responded with a series of twitter rants, stating that Carey is making herself out to be a victim and that "insecurity" is what prompted Carey to say that Minaj threatened her with a gun.
After watching the video, Nicki Minaj does really make herself look bad. I am sure there is much more to the story then just the video and a lot of drama that the cameras likely did not catch. However with Nicki acting so 'street' in the video it really did her no favor in the war of words between the two divas.
This issue will likely continue for the rest of the season, will give American Idol great ratings and potentially allow Mariah Carey to be back in the limelight and successful again.
Bow Wow Broke?
First trouble with the taxman, now it appears that Bow Wow is having trouble with his baby momma over child support payments. Apparently, Bow Wow failed to reveal to the courts that he is set to
co-host BET's popular "106 & Park" television program. The rapper and the mother of his child Joie Chavis were in court this past Monday arguing over late child support payments totaling up to $11,500 for their daughter Shai.
While in court, Bow Wow revealed he makes a grand total of $4,000 a month on YMCMB's artist roster and maintains a total of $1,500 in his bank account, but failed to mention his new position on BET's music video countdown program. As of now, he has been ordered by the court to pay $3,000 a month in child support.
Wow, being signed to Young Money really does not pay very well. Bow Wow sure as hell is not 'ballin' with that paycheck. He likely makes more then that when you take into account his album sales as well as live performances, but that really is not a lot of money from YMCM.
Release Dates & Album Updates
A couple of album notes this week starting with Cee-Lo Green, who looks to cash in on his work on The Voice, by releasing a holiday/Christmas album on October 30th. The tracklist is as follows:
1. What Christmas Means To Me
2. Baby, It's Cold Outside (feat. Christina Aguilera)
3. This Christmas
4. The Christmas Song
5. White Christmas
6. All I Need Is Love (feat. Disney's The Muppets)
7. You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch (feat. Straight No Chaser)
8. Please Come Home For Christmas
9. Run Rudolph Run
10. All I Want For Christmas
11. Mary, Did You Know?
12. River
13. Merry Christmas, Baby (with Rod Stewart)
14. Silent Night
This has mainstream sell out appeal all over it, but I am somewhat curious as to what the album will sound like.
9th Wonder has announced that he has albums with both Buckshot and Murs slated for release on November 13th. The album with Buckshot is titled
No Solution
, while the album with Murs is called

and features the lead single "Diamonds". No additional information on any guest spots collabs that will be featured on the album.

Funnily enough, Robert Pattinson's favourite book of the Twilight series is the one he's barely in. But don't fret, R-Pattz fans.
This two-discer's 'Edward Fast-Forward' extra whizzes through the film, stopping only at the bits featuring Pattinson and cutting out all those other pesky, irrelevant scenes in between. Boiling down the overlong 130-minute runtime to half an hour, it might be the ultimate cut of New Moon.
Despite the haircut and the high-protein diet, Taylor Lautner (as werewolf Jacob) proves an undercooked sub for Pattinson's Cullen, failing to whisk up the first movie's tortured frisson as he attempts to fill the void in Bella's (Kristen Stewart) life.
More love-sick puppy than wounded manimal, Lautner lets his abs do the acting while he fumbles any dramatic heavy lifting. Having piloted The Golden Compass on to the rocks, director Chris Weitz loses his battle with Stephenie Meyer's plotless second novel.
And in a movie where nothing happens for two hours, why not have 18 minutes of deleted scenes ("None of them are crucial," explains Weitz) and 31 minutes of extended scenes? ("Why are they extended?" asks Weitz. "Because you demanded more...")
Like New Moon itself, this DVD is mostly sweet nothings (screaming vox-pops, music videos, naff interviews). Thankfully, the 65-minute Making Of serves up a meaty behind-the-scenes look that doesn't evaporate like one of Bella's visions.

The Parthenon, at Wyckoff and Palmetto, was a respite for the area's working-class families. The building is now a bingo parlor and other businesses, and little of the original detail remains.
New photos by Devvon Simpson for BushwickBK | Above photo courtesy of BrooklynPix.com | Click to view slideshow>>
Like other communities in the pre-TV era, the Bushwick area was home to many local movie houses that provided a place to take in a double feature, see a few cartoons or a weekly serial and – on "dish night" – help to accumulate a full dinner serving set. None of these cinematic centers exist any longer, and locals now have to trek into Manhattan to pay mucho bucks to view twenty commercials and "upcoming" trailers – and, by the way, also see a single feature. However, the ghosts of the old Bushwick theaters still remain and are worth a visit.
While Bushwick's major movie palaces – the RKO Bushwick (now a high school); the Loews Gates (Pilgrim Baptist Church); the RKO Madison (a discount store); and the Ridgewood (now vacant, but hopefully not for long) – figure most prominently in the minds of Bushwick's long-time residents, we're going to explore a few of the less-exalted movie houses. These were where people who either could not or did not wish to pay the "first-run" price waited until the films of the day passed into the second- and third-string circuits. This was also where generations of kids spent their Saturdays viewing dozens of cartoons or triple-bill "B" picture westerns – all under the watchful eyes of the theater's trusty matron, who wore a white uniform and wielded a very large flashlight.
The Parthenon – 329 Wyckoff Ave., at Palmetto St.
This forlorn and graffiti-covered building was once the proud home of a beautiful theater patterned after one of Rome's most beloved relics. When it opened in 1921, the Parthenon showed first-run films in competition with the slightly older Ridgewood Theatre, down the block on Myrtle Avenue. Once the far more opulent Madison opened in 1928 or so, the Parthenon faded into second-run status, but continued to show films until around 1960. It then became a bowling alley before assuming its current role as a bingo parlor. A visit now would reveal only a drab space with a drop ceiling — but if you were ever to pierce that ceiling and look above, traces of the old movie house probably remain.
The Parthenon is also the subject of a quirk of political geography that occurred shortly after it opened in 1921. At that time, the Brooklyn/Queens boundary was not at Wyckoff Ave., but crossed mid-block between Wyckoff and St. Nicholas. This placed the Parthenon clearly in Brooklyn. However, once the lines were re-drawn in 1925, the Parthenon switched boroughs. You could say that the old theater has a foot in each borough – assuming, of course, that buildings have feet.
The Imperial – 157 Irving Ave., at DeKalb Ave.
This old warehouse was the home of the Imperial Theater, which occupied this site from the mid-1920s to around 1941. It then became a Robert Hall's, a chain clothing store that provided inexpensive suits to several generations of working and lower-middle class men. (Until I was in my late 20s, all of my "good" clothes came from either Robert Hall's or "magnificent" Alexander's.) It served as such until the late '60s or early '70s, when it assumed its current function.
The Imperial on Irving and DeKalb retains its brickwork detail. This 1938 advertisement touts the "Best German Pictures," later branded Nazi propaganda and withdrawn from US theaters.
Right photo by Devvon Simpson for BushwickBK | Click to view slideshow>>
About a year ago, the old Imperial came on the selling block and, for a hot moment, its possible sale to a theatrically oriented buyer loomed as a possibility. Alas, it was sold to another warehouse company and will probably continue to serve in that capacity for the foreseeable future. However, some photos were shot at the time that reveal enduring traces of the old movie house.
The Alhambra – 783 Knickerbocker Ave., at Halsey St.
In the early 1900s, the area around Irving Square Park must have been a pretty classy neighborhood, what with its Bloomsbury-styled recreation retreat, the lovely brick houses, St. Martin's Church – and, in 1918, the community's own movie theater and vaudeville hall. With its wonderfully evocative name, the Alhambra served as an entertainment mecca for a number of years. In 1928, its interior was substantially redecorated by the great Thomas Lamb, who also designed the recently landmarked Ridgewood Theatre's façade. Unfortunately, the good times did not last forever and, in the 1940s, the picture palace closed for good.
The Alhambra, on once-fashionable Irving Square Park, retains little of its Spanish-Arabesque detail in its current life as a child-care center.
Right photo by Devvon Simpson for BushwickBK | Click to view slideshow>>
The Alhambra has, however, enjoyed a valuable afterlife. After being converted into a supermarket – and losing most of its exterior adornments – it became a day-care center and has served Bushwick in that capacity for many years. The staff there says that while most of the old theater has been gutted, an old ceiling light still remains.
The Eagle – 431 Central Ave., between Madison and Putnam
This theater, also once known as the Luxor, began its life in the 1920s but did not survive the impact of television and shut its doors sometime in the 1950s. It then became a church. A couple of years ago, the church closed and it appeared that the building was being demolished. However, only a portion of it was razed and the building's shell has been retained, possibly to form the basis of a new construction. The better part of two years have now elapsed and the shell remains; unless the economy improves substantially, the walls will probably collapse before anything else occurs. In the interim, however, the pigeons love it.
The New Ideal – 151 Knickerbocker, between Flushing Ave. and Melrose St.
This old movie house, which has now been replaced by a one-story factory, began its life in the silent era and, after closing on at least one occasion, continued to operate until sometime in the 1930s. Next to the factory is a two-story residential building that must, at one time, have been a synagogue or a yeshiva. Some Hebrew script appears in the crumbling façade. It's not clear if this building had anything to do with the New Ideal.
The New Ideal's very existence in what now seems an out of the way spot underlines the fact that, at one time, far more people lived in this vicinity. Until after WWII, what is now called Morgantown was a gritty but stable mixed residential and manufacturing area. During the next half century – and particularly after the City's 1961 zoning resolution cast the area into a Manufacturing district — the residential population plunged drastically. It only has only begun to recover during the last decade.
The Rogers – 835 Broadway, corner of Park St.
This old place, which started life in the nickelodeon era, was very spartan. It had sawdust on the floor, cats roaming the aisles and featured an almost exclusive program of old grade-B westerns – or, as the overused crossword clue would describe them, "oaters." This type of theater died out quickly after the advent of the feature film moved customers to the movie palaces.
The Rogers is long-demolished; in its place was built a single-story commercial building that now houses a laundromat.

The G&M – Bushwick and Flushing
This location, which has hosted a gas station for over sixty years, was once home to a silent-era movie theater. Many, many years before that, it was the site of a revolutionary-era blacksmith's shop. Passing by this very forgettable intersection, remember – it was very different, and far more interesting, at one time.
Bushwick's movie palaces are long dead, most of their ornament stripped away in a fit of late-century expediency. Some of them have even been bulldozed. But with documentation and a little imagination, we can still conjure an idea of what it must have been like to line up under the dazzling marquis of one of these glamourous monuments to the masses.
Much of the research for this article comes from the users of movie-nostalgia forum Cinema Treasures.

Incarnation or Divine Transmigration in Rumi's Masnavi Ma'navi
The Resurrection of man according to actual form of his deed is one of the most significant issues among the Islamic Mystics and scholars that is people with their deeds and actions shape the form for their soul expression, which is the real substance of their soul. Their Purgatorial face will be embodied on the basis of their inward soul expression. This concept has wildly been expressed by Rumi in Masnavi Ma'navi, in which he has given a vivid definition. In the present study, the researcher has surveyed the concept of incarnation and the way human behavior changes his nature, soul and spirit in line with explaining its difference with transmigration from Rumi's viewpoint, which is evaluated with respect to Quranic verses of Household.
Key words: Incarnation; Divine Transmigration; Soul; Soul expression

Being an athlete can be a demanding job, but do you think they should miss a big game for the birth of the child?
The debate kicked off in Chicago this week after Chicago Bears player Charles Tillman told a local radio station he might miss Sunday's game against the Texans to be by his wife's side during labor.
NBC sportswriter Mike Florio wrote that Tillman should have planned ahead so it wouldn't be an issue.
Tillman has now put Bears fan at ease by assuring them that his wife is going to hold off for one extra day.
This will be the couple's fourth child.

I am Annala Maria Dalmav. My story begins when I was 17…my best friend Daniel and I fell in love and we made plans to get married secretly.
My other dear friend Kyle thought Daniel would not be able to hold a house and land for me so he told my father. In rage my father killed Daniel and almost killed me…Marcus found me and saved me. He said he had found me in the wheat fields when he was hunting. He also told me I was a vampire and I was to serve him until he thought I had re-paid him for saving my life. Gratefully I stayed with Master Marcus and did his missions…I found what my power was after 2 weeks when I saw my father again. His face was as pail as a ghost/or vampire*smirks*. He burst into flames. My power was the element of fire and later on i found out ice is my second power. I've been with the Volturi ever since.
My favorite color is blue. I am about 360 years old. Alec, Jane and I talk sometimes when we have time to interact in between missions. We are around the same age only a 50 year difference give or take. My favorite places to go when I was a human are still there just hidden. I try to escape there when I have time. I'm single and I don't know if I'm looking…I don't have many friends.

Another PIcture of us...I was on a mission that day *smiles evily* i was destroying a couple of vampires!

Welcome to Creation Expo! This is the web site of the first science center to present a comprehensive scientific model of the natural world from a creation perspective. We're not just an anti-evolution science center. Rather, we are advocates of a competing model of science. We are proponents of examining the world like a scientist with the thought in mind that it is the product of design instead of simply material processes. Once you are freed from a materialistic bias, it's easy to see the hand of a Creator in the stuff of nature.

Stocks were able to leverage some optimistic news and dovish words from the Fed to take another stab at an upside breakout attempt last week. Although readers have sometimes accused me of being a permabull, I am really a realist, and the reality is that the slogans like "The trend is your friend" and "Don't fight the Fed" are truisms. And they have worked. Read more about Sector Detector: Bulls leverage hopeful news to launch a tepid breakout attempt
Although the stock market displayed weakness last week as I suggested it would, bulls aren't going down easily. In fact, they're going down swinging, absorbing most of the blows delivered by hesitant bears. Despite holding up admirably when weakness was both expected and warranted, and although I still see higher highs ahead, I am still not convinced that we have seen the ultimate lows for this pullback. A number of signs point to more weakness ahead. Read more about Sector Detector: Bulls go down swinging, refusing to give up much ground

Was that really a breakout? With the S&P 500 struggling around the 2,000 level for the past two weeks, Friday's strong finish might seem like a bullish breakout.

Bulls are having their way as summer draws to a close. Indeed, U.S. stocks and bonds seem to be the best and safest place to invest in a global economy that is at once hopeful and cautious, with lots of available cash hunting for attractive returns. But now the S&P 500 must deal with the ominous 2,000 level. Read more about Sector Detector: Up next for bulls, a big test of conviction
As many investors enjoy the final weeks of summer, some optimistic bulls seem to be positioning themselves well ahead of Labor Day in anticipation of a fall rally. Indeed, last week's action was impressive. After only a mere 4% correction, investors continued to brush off the disturbing violence both at home and abroad, and they took the minor pullback as their next buying opportunity. Read more about Sector Detector: Bullish investors jockey for position as if the correction is over
Stocks saw elevated volume and volatility last week, and the 100-day simple moving average on the S&P 500 proved to be the proverbial line-in-the-sand for bullish investors. I opined last week that the market seemed to have sufficiently cycled back down to oversold territory, so with a little more technical consolidation and successful testing of nearby support levels, the next move higher could easily commence at any time. So, the question remains as to whether that was the big new buying opportunity, or whether more backing-and-filling is needed.

Now that's what I'm talking about. I have been discussing the overbought technical conditions of the S&P 500 for some time and the need for a pullback to test bullish support levels. And as many commentators have suggested, the more time between pullbacks, the more severe is the action when it finally arrives. Bears had become very hungry after a prolonged hibernation. This week offered up a nasty pullback. Read more about Sector Detector: Patient bulls finally get a new entry point, thanks to inflation fears

I just created this super tasty spice mixture. It is kind of blend of several flavors, but I think it would be somewhat of an all purpose, spicy mix. You can tone down the heat by using less of the Hot Indian Chili Powder. I am going to use it to make a carrot salad later on today or tomorrow.
All Purpose Spice :
1 teaspoon each:
- paprika
- 5 spice
- cumin
- coriander
- turmeric
- onion powder
1 tablespoon each:
- kosher salt
- garlic powder
- extra hot Indian chili powder (or cayenne)
That's it! Stay tuned to see how I use it!

DENVER, COL ( LEARFIELD-WSAU) The Colorado Rockies scored four runs in the second and fourth innings to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-3.
Wily Peralta had a tough start in the game, allowing eight runs and seven hits in three-and-two-third innings of work.
Brewers made a push for runs in the sixth inning, but it wasn't enough. If there was any bright spot in the game for the Brewers, it was Carlos Gomez's 449-foot home run in the ninth inning – the longest in his career.
The two teams play again tonight with the pre game show at 6:35 on WSAU

Early Detection and Prediction of Chemotherapy Induced Cardiac Toxicity in Breast Cancer Patients

- How to Read a Study Record
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn whether different ways of viewing echocardiogram pictures along with blood tests can help to see heart-related side effects of chemotherapy and trastuzumab earlier than the usual tests.
Breast Cancer
Procedure: Echocardiograms
Procedure: Blood Test
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Case-Only
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|Early Detection and Prediction of Chemotherapy Induced Cardiac Toxicity in Breast Cancer Patients
- Predictors of cardio-toxicity in female patients with breast cancer exposed to trastuzumab +/- previous anthracycline agents [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Identification of heart-related side effects of chemotherapy and trastuzumab using echocardiogram pictures plus blood tests.
|Study Start Date:
|November 2008
|Study Completion Date:
|August 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|August 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Echocardiogram + Blood Test
Additional Echocardiogram views performed in 5-10 minutes of regularly scheduled echocardiograms plus blood tests measuring of hormones and metabolic proteins (such as sugars and acids).
Procedure: Echocardiograms
Additional views performed in 5-10 minutes of regularly scheduled echocardiograms.Procedure: Blood Test
Measuring of hormones and metabolic proteins (such as sugars and acids).
Detailed Description:
Because of the heart-related side effects of chemotherapy and trastuzumab, your regular doctor will monitor your heart's function as part of your routine care. You will have echocardiograms performed before you begin treatment, and then every 3 months. An echocardiogram uses sound waves to check your heart's health.
If you decide to take part in this study, researchers will take several additional pictures of your heart during each of your regularly scheduled echocardiograms. The additional pictures will make the procedure take about 5-10 minutes longer than the regular echocardiogram. These pictures will be viewed in a different way than the standard echocardiogram pictures. Researchers hope viewing the pictures this way can help researchers to find heart problems earlier than the usual tests.
Blood Tests:
Blood (about 4 teaspoon each time) will be drawn during the routine blood draw that occurs closest to the regularly scheduled echocardiograms.
The heart produces hormones called BNP and NT-proBNP. These hormones can be measured in the blood. BNP and NT-proBNP levels can be higher when the heart is not working as well. Researchers will measure these hormones at the time of each echocardiogram. Researchers hope to learn whether measuring these hormones can help identify the heart-related side effects of chemotherapy and trastuzumab earlier than the usual tests.
Researchers will also measure metabolic proteins (such as sugars and acids) in the blood. Researchers hope to learn whether measuring these metabolic proteins can help identify the heart-related side effects of chemotherapy and trastuzumab earlier than the usual tests.
Because protein, sugar or acid levels may be temporarily changed after you eat, you will be asked not to eat overnight before having your blood drawn.
Study Visits:
You will have 6 study visits around the time that you have an echocardiogram. These visits will occur before you take Herceptin, when you begin Herceptin, and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months later. These study visits will be scheduled on days when you are already making a visit to your regular doctor. You will not have to make any special visits to the hospital for this research study.
During each study visit, you will be asked about any symptoms you may be experiencing, and any medications you may be taking. Your blood pressure and heart rate will be measured.
You will also take a quality of life questionnaire at each study visit. This questionnaire asks you how the cancer may have interfered with your daily life. It should take about 15 minutes to complete.
Length of Study:
You will be considered off-study once you complete the 6 study visits.
This is an investigational study. Up to 100 patients will take part in this multicenter study. Up to 20 patients will be enrolled at M. D. Anderson.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample

Current Book:
The Empowerment Manual: A Guide for Collaborative Groups by Starhawk
Collaborative organizations have the unique potential to harness their members' ideals, passions, skills, and knowledge—if they can succeed in getting along together. The Empowerment Manual is a comprehensive guide for groups seeking to organize with shared power and bottom-up leadership to foster vision, trust, accountability and responsibility. This desperately needed toolkit provides keys to:
- understanding group dynamics
- facilitating communication and collective decision-making
- dealing effectively with difficult people
Drawing on four decades of experience, Starhawk shows how collaborative groups can generate the cooperation, efficacy and commitment critical to success. Her extensive exploration of group process is woven together with the story of RootBound—a fictional ecovillage mired in conflict— and rounded out with a series of real-life case studies. The included exercises and facilitator's toolbox show how to establish the necessary structures, ground rules and healthy norms. The Empowerment Manual is required reading for anyone who wants to help their group avoid disagreement and disillusionment and become a wellspring of creativity and innovation.
Learn more about Starhawk at her website.
We look forward to hearing from you, and to engaging in lively discussions with you soon!
In peace and friendship,
The Reading Group

Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks Call It Quits
In news that will destroy anyone's belief in true love, Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks have reportedly ended their three year relationship.
It should come as no surprise that Jordin Sparks made history by becoming the youngest 'American Idol' winner ever when she took the title at 17 years of age in 2007: The Arizona native started belting out tunes when she was only a toddler. Sparks didn't stop, either, performing at scores of talent contests and sporting events before ultimately being crowned during Season 6 of the reality singing competition. Her 'Idol' single, 'This Is My Now,' went on to sell 2 million copies. Later that same year, she released her self-titled debut album, featuring hits 'Tattoo' and the Chris Brown duet 'No Air,' which was certified triple-platinum and earned Sparks her first Grammy nomination. In the years since, she has buffetted her music career with forays into acting, most notably by starring in the 2012 film 'Sparkle' alongside legendary diva Whitney Houston.
In news that will destroy anyone's belief in true love, Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks have reportedly ended their three year relationship.
We've gathered this week's sweetest, funniest and all-around awesome #TBT pics for you. Enjoy!
Jordin Sparks lit up the 2014 Billboard Music Awards red carpet!
The 2014 Billboard Music Awards kicked off tonight in Las Vegas, and our favorite pop stars are posting tweets, photos and videos to make sure we don't miss a thing!
While many celebrities have started from the bottom and worked their way up, there are some lucky stars who were born rich. Racks on racks on racks for "silver spoon" celebs like Jordin Sparks, Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus, whose parents were all famous in their own right before giving birth to their kids who would eventually become famous.
Um, can Jason Derulo be our BF? The sexy singer gifted his longtime girlfriend and fellow singer Jordin Sparks with a car for Christmas!
'Tis the season for giving, so Glade is offering the gift of Jordin Sparks!
Jordin Sparks has revealed that she suffers from migraines, a condition she inherited from her mother. Due to the affliction, she has been is repping Excedrin.
Given her busy job as a singer and a pop star, S
Are Jason Derulo and Jordin Sparks trying to tell us something in the video for his song 'Marry Me?' Well, we definitely can tell they are crazy in love in this romantic video where they snuggle, smooch and sing to each other. It's almost too intimate and we're voyeurs.
Pop stars love elevating their looks with piercings and tats. (Ahem, Harry Styles.) While singers like Britney Spears have flaunted navel bling, we found an astounding number of stars rocking nose rings.

For fans of the U.S. space program, the next few years will be as much about looking at the past as gazing ahead to the future.
AIN Blogs
When I wrote a story on the potential shortage of skilled labor, primarily among A&Ps, I had no idea it would draw 18 replies in the four days following its appearance in AINonline.
Kestrel Aircraft CEO Alan Klapmeier pushed the recall button on January 16 and cashed in to the tune of potentially $118 million. The company is abandoning its plans to set up production of its single-engine turboprop K-350 in Maine in favor of Superior, Wis.
I recently attended the SHOT Show (shooting, hunting and outdoor trades) in Las Vegas. It is the world's largest gathering of shooters, hunters, law enforcement, military special operations and other shooting-related industries. This year's show attracted more than 1,600 exhibitors and 60,000 people from all over the world.
Aw, c'mon, Textron. Seriously?
You don't want Electronic Arts (EA) to use depictions of some of your rotorcraft in the video game Battlefield 3? You're claiming that EA's use of images of the AH-1Z, UH-1Y and V-22 infringe on your trademark and dress right?
It took quite a while, but the FAA finally did the right thing—to a point—when it announced that it would give passenger-carrying airlines two years to institute new flight/duty time rules.
A total of 8,904 signatures on the petition, "Take User Fees Off the Table," apparently were not enough to change the mind of President Obama. Today the White House issued its response, which only serves to reiterate his position:
More than the usual number of reporters descended on the Pentagon January 5, hopeful of learning how, specifically, the Department of Defense will cull billions of dollars from its budget over the next decade. Would the troubled F-35 program be further restructured or reduced? Would the V-22 get clipped?
After four decades in aviation, having seen the best–and worst–of the industry, I am still moved by some of the unheralded work of the folks who work in and around aviation. While the heroes of flight (yes, Sully, you are one of them) do get the recognition they justly deserve, there are others in all kinds of occupations who do amazing work for little, if any, public recognition.
In my last blog post, I covered five of the most memorable moments from interviews I've conducted over the years for Business Jet Traveler. Here are another five. Just click on the names to read the full articles on Pascucci, Trump and Orman.

What other readers are saying about this title:
bookwoman_cat said:
**** stars. I have loved and read Maeve Binchy for 30 years. Sadly this is her last book, as she passed away last year. She was an Irish story-teller of the highest caliber who had a amazing ability to create vivid, wonderful characters who drew you into their lives. She had ample opportunity to do this in this book as the story involves the hosts at a hotel which has just opened and the guests who travel to western Ireland for a week in winter. . When Chicky Starr decides to take an old, decaying mansion set high on the cliffs overlooking the windswept Atlantic Ocean and turn it into a restful place for a holiday by the sea, everyone in the small town of Stoneybridge thinks she is crazy. Helped by Rigger (a bad boy turned good who is handy around the house) and Orla, her niece (a whiz at business), Chicky is finally ready to welcome the first guests to Stone House's big warm kitchen, log fires, and understated elegant bedrooms. John, the American movie star, thinks he has arrived incognito; Winnie and Lillian are forced into taking a holiday together; Nicola and Henry, husband and wife, have been shaken by seeing too much death practicing medicine; Anders hates his father's business, but has a real talent for music; Miss Nell Howe, a retired schoolteacher, criticizes everything; the Walls are disappointed to have won this second-prize holiday in a contest where first prize was Paris; and Freda, the librarian, is afraid of her own psychic visions. Ms. Binchy interweaves all these stories. Chicky and Stone House offer warmth and the possibility of healing. But do she and the beautiful setting have enough magic to improve the lives of all involved? I will miss Ms. Binchy and her wonderful books. Highly recommend!

The First Dog Debuts
After months of dogged reporting about what kind of puppy the new first family would bring to Washington, the, uh, cat is out of the bag.
Bo, a Portuguese water dog, was unveiled April 11 by a hastily assembled Web site called FirstDogCharlie.com. The site posted the first known photograph of the black-and-white, curly-haired cutie, scooping The Washington Post, which apparently had been promised a doggy exclusive.
The Web site claimed the 6-month-old puppy's original name was Charlie. Renamed Bo by the Obamas, the puppy did not come from a shelter, as many Newseum visitors had hoped. The pet was a gift from Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, an Obama backer and Portuguese water dog owner.
Of the more than 37,000 votes cast in the Newseum's five-month presidential pooch poll, more than half said the Obamas should get a shelter dog. Kennedy reportedly rescued Bo from a home where he had been a bad fit. According to The Post, the first family also is making a donation to the local humane society.
Bo will join dozens of past presidential pooches in the Newseum's exhibit "First Dogs: American Presidents and Their Pets." The show — supported by a gift to the Newseum from PEDIGREE®, a brand of Mars, Inc. — features intimate photographs of presidents and their furry friends and is scheduled to end May 15, 2009.

Greenville County deputies say they need the public's help finding an armed robber who killed the 29-year-old owner of Illusions Smoke Shop.
Ross McClellan was gunned down inside the shop on Poinsett highway Friday night. The coroner's office said McClellan died from a single gunshot wound.
Deputy Drew Pinciaro said deputies arrived within minutes of receiving 911 calls of an armed robbery at the McClellan's shop but were unable to locate the suspect. Deputies said the suspect fled on foot.
FOX Carolina spoke with Joshua Adams, the owner of the barber shop next door to the smoke shop, who said he heard the fatal shots being fired.
"We heard a loud noise," said Adams. "Then we heard something bump up against the wall."
Adams said McClellan had just recently bought the business and was excited about getting it going.
"Seemed to be a nice fellow. We were going to have a customer appreciation that weekend and he helped get the balloons set up," said Adams.
A funeral fund was set up for McClellan on Sept. 3 by his friends. Donations to help with funeral costs can be made at any Bank of Travelers Rest branch under the name Ross McClellan.
Funeral arrangements have been made at the Thomas McAfee Northwest Chapel at 6710 White Horse Rd. The visitation will be Thursday, Sept. 5, from noon to 1:15 p.m., with the funeral and burial directly following.
Deputies are asking anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 864-23-CRIME.

Glad I am not the only one thinking this. While getting silk and mageweave has been a major annoyance the occasional khorium from fel iron bound, and adamantite bound chests is nice. There are tons of places to find these chests, and yes, as Ktok said they blend in VERY WELL! Whether it's in the swamps of Zangarmarsh near the broken, grassy ogre huts in Nagrand, or in the dark areas in Blades Edge Mountains and Shadowmoon Valley, they are real, they are there, and while most are disappointing ( 3 silk and a lvl 45 water in my last one) they are worth keeping your eyes open for! ( Ore, Leather, herbs and one blue gem)

C. R. Corwin
Adult Fiction CORWIN
Summary: Maddy Sprowls gets to The Hannawa Herald-Union right at nine. She makes her first mug of Darjeeling tea and settles down at her desk to read the obituaries. The obits are the best part of her day, she admits. But not today. First she reads that her old college friend Gordon Sweet is dead. Then she learns he was murderedat the abandoned landfill where the eccentric archaeology professor was conducting his latest dig. And just like that, the cranky 68-year-old newspaper librarian finds herself investigating another murder. No, two murders! Gordon's death just might be linked to the grisly bludgeoning of state wrestling champ David Delarosa fifty years earlier. And so begins a harrowing, and hilarious, trek back to Maddy's old beatnik days, when she was a member of the Meriwether Square Baked Bean Existentialist Society. There's a coffee house full of quirky suspects to consider: Poet Chick Glass, saxophonist Shaka Bop, free-thinking Effie Fredmansky, snooty Gwen Moffitt-Stumpf, and toxic waste dumper Kenneth Kingzette, just to name a few. And, oh yes, the legendary beat writer Jack Kerouac figures into this satisfying caper, too. There's a reason why reporters call Maddy ""Morgue Mama"" behind her back. And why cops and criminals alike get the jitters when she pulls up in her old Dodge Shadow. She is tough, tenacious, and as readers of C.R. Corwin's Morgue Mama: The Cross Kisses Back discovered, tricky as the dickens.

A look at adolescent sleep needs
Waking up to the unique sleep needs of adolescents
Teenagers generally require 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sleep per night.1 The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) 2006 Sleep in America Poll revealed that adolescents report sleeping 7.6 hours on school nights, even though they feel that they need an average of 8.2 hours of sleep for optimal daytime function.2
More than 50% of teenagers feel sleepy during the day.2 Only approximately 20% of all surveyed adolescents (6th- to 12th-graders) report an adequate amount of nightly sleep (=9 hours per night); among high school students (9th- to 12th-graders), the percentage decreases to 9%, suggesting that sleep deprivation is more common in older adolescents. Interestingly, 90% of parents believe that their adolescent gets enough sleep on most school nights.
Adolescent sleep physiology
Circadian rhythms organize the timing of various biologic processes, including sleep regulation. Light is the main environmental stimulus that synchronizes the intrinsic human circadian period to the 24-hour day. Melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, induces evening drowsiness and also maintains the inherent sleep-wake cycle. Light blocks the secretion of melatonin; therefore, light exposure at bedtime can delay sleep initiation. Advanced Tanner stage has been associated with a delay in melatonin secretion in adolescents aged 11 to 14 years.3 In addition, adolescents seem to have a longer circadian period (24.3 hours), and difficulty entraining their sleep-wake cycle to the 24-hour solar day causes circadian phase delay or a "night owl" tendency to stay up late at night.4 This circadian alteration during adolescence has been observed across various cultures throughout the world and even across several mammalian species.5
Sleep-wake homeostasis refers to the buildup of "sleep drive" throughout the day. A prolonged period of wakefulness increases the intrinsic need for sleep, or sleep pressure. Taking a nap in the afternoon affects sleep homeostasis by decreasing this drive to sleep, thereby delaying sleep onset at bedtime. Adolescents with more advanced Tanner stage have a slower accumulation in sleep pressure compared with younger, less mature adolescents.6 This pubertal decrease in sleep drive may promote delayed sleep initiation in teenagers.
Sleep behaviors
Based on the 2006 NSF poll, most adolescents (97%) have an electronic device in their bedrooms.2 Seventy-six percent of adolescents report watching television within an hour of bedtime. One study found that among adolescents aged 12 to 18 years, 82% watched television and 55% used their computers after 9 PM.8 Other nighttime activities include watching DVDs, cell phone use, and playing video/computer games. It has been hypothesized that adolescents experience an exaggerated response to the circadian phase-delaying effects of nighttime light exposure; therefore, light stimulation associated with use of electronics close to bedtime may exacerbate their natural night owl tendency.5
Other activities that keep teenagers up at night include evening homework, extracurricular activities (eg, athletics), jobs, and socializing. Adolescents who work 20 or more hours per week attain less sleep, tend to oversleep more on school days, and report increased use of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco compared with adolescents who work fewer than 20 hours per week.12 Parental influence on setting bedtimes dramatically decreases as adolescents get older. Adolescents who have a curfew get to sleep earlier, wake up earlier in the morning, and have less daytime sleepiness.
Young boy suffering from a rapidly spreading rash
You are called to the emergency department to evaluate a 2-year old boy with a fever for 5 days and a rapidly spreading rash on his face, arms, and legs for 2 days. The rash was made up of 3-mm to 6-mm diameter elongated vesicles on a red base. He is irritable and not eating well. There was another child at his day care with a similar rash, and his mother is worried that his 8-month old brother will develop the same illness.
Physicians missing blood pressure checks in kids
Many physicians are not monitoring children's blood pressure during ambulatory or preventive care visits as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).
A girl with abnormal movements and emotional lability puzzles doctors
While on the inpatient pediatric service, you receive a call from the emergency department (ED) about a 6-year-old girl who has abnormal movements and emotional lability. When meeting the child and her mother, you discover that the illness began about a week before presentation, when the child was sent home from school because of headache and vomiting.
Quality care measures for children proving difficult to quantify
Born almost 3 years ago, the set of federal measures for quality care for children in Medicaid and CHIP is being slowly pushed out of infancy; however, states are having difficulties gathering and reporting data, which may keep some of the measures aspirational for some time.
ONDCP paying attention to prenatal exposure to opioids
The nation's drug czar's office highlighted the issues around the increased use of opioids by pregnancy women at a recent meeting, held just across from the White House.
