January 14 Julian Bond was born on this date in 1940. He is an African-American Civil rights activist and politician.
Born in Nashville, Tennessee his family moved to Pennsylvania, when his father, Horace M. Bond was appointed President of Lincoln University. Bond graduated from the George School, a coeducational Quaker school in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in 1957, and entered Morehouse College in Atlanta that same year. While at Morehouse, Bond won a varsity letter in swimming.
He also helped to found a literary magazine called The Pegasus and was an intern for Time magazine. In 1960, Bond was one of several hundred students who helped form the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). Five years later Bond was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives. He was barred from taking his seat in the House because of his outspoken statements against the Vietnam War. In December 1966 the Supreme Court ruled in his favor and he served four terms as Representative and six terms in the Georgia Senate, from 1975-86.
During the 1968 presidential election, he was the first African American to be nominated for Vice-President of the United States. He withdrew his name from the ballot, however, because he was too young to serve. Bond continues his calling of activism as Chairman of the NAACP. He also serves as President Emeritus of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Bond was host of "America's Black Forum," the oldest Black-owned show in television syndication, from 1980 until 1997.
Currently he is a commentator on the show. He was a commentator for radio's "Byline," syndicated to over 200 stations. He has been a commentator on the "Today" show and was the author of a nationally syndicated newspaper column called Viewpoint. He has appeared in three movies and narrated the critically acclaimed 1987 and 1990 PBS series, Eyes on the Prize, a 1989 PBS show on the life of New York Congressman Adam Clayton Powell, and the 1994 Academy Award winning documentary, A Time for Justice.
A collection of Bond's essays has been published under the title A Time To Speak, A Time To Act. Other books Bond has written are: Black Candidates Southern Campaign Experiences. His poems and articles have appeared in a who’s who list of magazines and newspapers. Julian Bond is a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at American University in Washington, D.C., and a faculty member in the history department at the University of Virginia.

Comment: Good morning my good people! Ok, ladies I see there is a special b'day out there for you today. Time for us men on the board to take a step back for LL Cool J.
"She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang
I luv it when a woman ain't scared to do her thing.
Standing at the bus stop sucking on a lollipop
Once she gets pumping its hard to make the hottie stop
She likes to dance to the rap jam
She sweet as brown sugar with they candied yams
Honey coated complexion
using Camay
Let's hear it for the girl she's from around the way"
Ain't nothing like an "around the way girl". Ladies, I greet you with a warm bear hug. Make it a safe and blessed hump day. HK: what's popping, babe?

Comment: January 14 Students (after takeover) On this date in 1969, students took over Morrill Hall at the University of Minnesota.
The two-day siege was orchestrated by nearly 70 people was spearheaded by the African American students at the school. The Morrill Hall takeover was the result of many decades of neglect and discrimination of Black students by the University. Plus with the changing demographics nationwide and at the University with regard to an increase in Black students, the faculty and administration had remained indifferent to their cultural and racial needs.
The result of the takeover was profound changes in the cultural and academic life at the school. The University established the Martin Luther King Program and the Afro Studies Department.

Comment: Here’s the thought for the day.
Battling Selfishness
Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others. (1 Corinthians 10:24 NIV)
As citizens of God's Kingdom, we live by a different value system. "Nobody should seek his own good, but the good of others" (1 Corinthians 10:24 NIV). Now let's be honest; that's hard to do and easy to forget, because selfishness is a battle we fight daily.
When Jesus was hanging on the cross in intense pain, He took time for a condemned criminal hanging next to Him (Luke 23:39-43). When Stephen was being stoned to death, he prayed for those who were killing him, asking God not to lay the sin to their charge (Acts 7:59-60). Though Paul and Silas were beaten and wrongly imprisoned, they took the time to minister to their jailer. Even after God sent a powerful earthquake that broke their chains and opened their prison doors, they remained there just for the purpose of ministering to their captor. How tempting it must have been to run away while the opportunity was there. How easy it would have been to take care of themselves and not worry about anybody else. But their act of love moved the jailer to ask how he might be saved. As a result, he and his entire family were won to Christ (Acts 16:25-34).
When we begin to win the war against selfishness and walk in love, others will take notice. We'll never win the world by being like them. So here's the question you need to answer: How many of your loved ones might come to know Jesus if you demonstrated that you genuinely loved them, instead of ignoring, judging or rejecting them? It's time to find out! (~The Vine, Bob Gass)
Awesome word! Make it a great day.

Comment: Irvin reports gun-toting Cowboys fan to police DALLAS (AP) - Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin says he calmly chatted with a gunman in another vehicle after the armed passenger turned out to be a Dallas Cowboys fan.
Irvin, who was not harmed, says he was "very afraid."
A Dallas police report says Irvin was stopped at a red light Monday night when two men in a truck pulled up next to him.
The driver rolled down his window, so Irvin did the same, thinking the two men recognized the radio talk show host and television commentator.
The passenger flashed a gun. Then the retired NFL star heard one of them call out his name and mentioned being a "huge Cowboy fan."
Irvin says he began talking with the men about the team's disappointing 9-7 season and Dallas not making it to the Super Bowl

Comment: Good morning all!!! Happy Wednesday. OK...here is something I saw funny last night: Did you see American Idol, when the blind contestant performed and was accepted to go further on the show? When he came outside, Ryan Seacrest was holding his hand up to high five him! Then, realizing that the man was um BLIND (he had the red and white cane), Ryan reaches down and raises the man's arm up and says, "if you didn't notice, I am trying to give you a high five"...my hubby and I looked at one another and rolled. I put that one with Joe Biden telling the parapalegic guy to stand up and take a bow. Priceless.

Comment: yelley> yes, I saw Bad Girls. A mess I suggest is definitely the case. they all acted a straight fool out there, but Tiff was really off the hook. I didn't know Marcus worked at the club they went to but I knew he wouldn't talk to her anymore after that scene at the club. He was looking like WTF? The girls should have BEEN called Kayla out b/c she is definitely all bark and no bite. The way she talks shat you would think she would have walked a dog on that girls azz while they were fighting, but that girl was hanging in there with her and had her azz by the throat. But Amber had already peeped her card at self defense class when she was acting all weak and scared. but I am LIVID about them bringing Tanisha back. We had our fill of her azz last season.... Did anybody peep RHOC? LOL @ Tamra for trying to be slick and ended up being the butt of the joke. I hope Gretchen did do Ryan just b/c I know it would pizz Tamra off.... Vickie and Tamra's husbands were having a good time with Gretchen though. Don kept agreeing with her about her boobs and Simon kept toasting her. LOL

Comment: Lovey>> Shoot they both seem gay to me. Jillian has the balls and Bob acts like he has a coochie. J77>> You know how Bob is the soft, sweet trainer? Well he was coddling that chick listening to her talk on and on, even neglecting the other team members because he was her sounding board. Well he got fed up when she acted like she couldn't run a lousy 30 sec on the treadmill. She only made it 20 or so and cried about thats the best she could do. All the other ppl could do it and some were bigger than her. She is just lazy. Bob started cussing at her droppin F bombs everywhere. Even the other team was looking and Jillian was like I have NEVER seen him lose his temper like that. Her fat azz only lost 2 pounds but the big 19 yr old got a 1 pd penalty because he lost the challenge so she got lucky and he took her place on the chopping block. Otherwise she woulda been sent home last night.

I agree about the husbands having fun with her. Taquila is something else. RHOA: Deshawn has an interview on Essence's website. The producers called her Monday to tell her, she's no longer on the show b/c she's boring. She's not blasting them at all. She took the news really well. She said rumors are saying Tamika Foster Raymond (Usher's wife) is replacing her.

Macy’s, among other chains, will be giving away cosmetics, skin care and perfumes on Jan. 20 as part of a five-year-old settlement involving price fixing on beauty products.
The giveaway stems from a February 2004 class action settlement filed on behalf of consumers who purchased cosmetics between May 1994 and July 2003, according to a the settlement’s Web site (cosmeticssettlement.com). Nordstrom, Nieman Marcus, Dillard's, Saks Fifth Avenue and Target also were named on the suit. The retailers have claimed no wrong doing.
As part of the settlement, $175 million in cosmetics will be given away, one per person in a first-come, first serve basis. Consumers will be able to choose one item per person while supplies last. Brands include Estée Lauder, Clinique, Lancome, Clarins, Guerlain, Givenchy, Chanel, Boucheron, Cody, Calvin Klein, L’Oréal and Christian Dior.
The products include mascara, skin care, moisturizers and fragrances, said Macy’s spokeswoman Sharon Bateman. “None of the product comes from the store’s regular inventory,” she said. “I think these products were created specifically for this give-away.”
The offer will last until all of the products in a particular store are distributed.
Consumers are not required to show proof of purchase at Macy’s stores, though its customers will have to sign a certification sheet acknowledging they purchased the products.

Comment: Believe it or not, this is a brother and he is in the hood.
January 14, 2009
A Chicago dentist agreed Tuesday to pay $462,500 to settle allegations that he violated discrimination laws by forcing employees to submit to indoctrination in the tenets of the Church of Scientology.
The Chicago office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a civil lawsuit against James L. Orrington in September 2007, %*$erting he had discriminated against 18 female employees by subjecting them to sexual propositions and comments, and by requiring workers "to engage in Scientology religious practices and learn about Scientology as conditions of their employment."
The complaint, filed in federal court in Chicago, also alleged that Orrington had breached U.S. civil-rights law by firing or taking retaliatory actions against employees who complained.
A consent decree filed with the U.S. District Court calls for Orrington to pay $462,500 to the workers involved—ranging from $10,000 for some employees to as high as $42,505 for one—and enjoins the dentist from any further sexual or religious workplace discrimination.
Orrington's attorney, John O'Connor, said that his client "has denied all allegations of unlawful conduct" throughout the case, and "continues to deny them." The matter was settled via the consent decree, O'Connor said, to avoid further expense and disruption of Orrington's business.

Comment: I think it may do her (Tamika Foster Raymond) some good to be on a show like that. Show that she's a real person; however, I find it hard to fight the gold-digger image everyone has on a show where all but one of the women don't have a job and they're all apparently relentless gold-diggers...well, maybe that's taking it a bit far, as Sheree and Kim are the only obvious gold-diggers. I'm cool with Deshawn as far as the show. She seems like a genuinely good person and I found it nice that while she didn't necessarily have the savvy to pull that charity auction event off, she at least managed to be the cream that rose to the top above all that petty bullshucks.
And as for bikini girl, she had a decent voice. I think Cara is a brat and needs to be taken down a notch as far as trying to have a singing runs run-off with someone who's auditioning. This isn't your show and no one wants to hear you sing. Sit down and offer constructive criticism, otherwise, STFU. Didn't she call her a b!tch as well? Not very professional. I'm just saying, half the people you see early in the season on AI during the auditions get on because the producers want to show the public how stupid these people look. Hopefully, at least half of them realize they really can't sing. But the other half may think they can and are up there as the court jester, buffoons and fools that the American viewing public and laugh at, mock, and deride. But the first half, they're using bad singing as a gimmick to get screen time. And you're telling me ol' girl can't wear a bikini to get in where she fits in?? Please. Cara is a hater and is over the hill and I don't know who knows her but I don't. As far as I'm concerned, bad first impression. Peace.

Comment: HOUSTON – A white man on Texas death row for nearly 30 years could be freed because an appeals court has ruled that prosecutors improperly excluded blacks from his jury in the belief that blacks empathize with defendants.
Jonathan Bruce Reed was convicted and condemned for the November 1978 rape-slaying of Wanda Jean Wadle at her Dallas apartment.
But now the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled Dallas County prosecutors improperly excluded black prospective jurors from Reed's trial and ordered him released unless prosecutors choose to retry him quickly.
"Although we do not relish adding a new chapter to this unfortunate story more than 30 years after the crime took place, we conclude that the Constitution affords Reed a right to relief," a three-member panel of the New Orleans-based court wrote in the ruling posted late Monday.
Jamille Bradfield, a spokeswoman for Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins, said it was premature to comment on whether Reed would be retried.
"We still need time to dissect the opinion," she said Tuesday.
Reed has been on death row since September 1979, making him among the longest-serving prisoners awaiting execution in Texas.
The 5th Circuit said Reed's case mirrored the capital murder case of Thomas Miller-El, on Texas death row for nearly 20 years until the Supreme Court overturned his verdict, citing racial discrimination during jury selection. Miller-El last year took a life prison sentence as part of a plea deal.
The Supreme Court cited a manual, written by a prosecutor in 1969 and used for years later, that advised Dallas prosecutors to exclude minorities from juries. Documents in Miller-El's case described how the memo advised prosecutors to avoid selecting minorities because "they almost always empathize with the accused."

Comment: The Chicago City Council voted 35-4 today to pay $2.25 million to the family of a 14-year-old home invader who died after he was shot in the back by an off-duty police officer in 2002.
Ald. Ed Burke (14th) said it would be better to pay the settlement to the family of Juan Salazar than risk going before a jury, which could decide that the city should pay even more.
The officer who shot Salazar stabbed his wife to death in 2005.
Four aldermen - Brian Doherty (41st), Eugene Schulter (47th), Mary Ann Smith (48th) and Bernard Stone (50th) opposed settling the case.
"I cannot see giving taxpayer money to the family of a home invader," Stone said.

Comment: A former Los Angeles Police Department officer pleaded guilty today in Orange County Superior Court to charges he took sexually suggestive photographs of young girls at the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival in 2007.
Ralph Cameron Lakin, 55, of La Palma pleaded guilty to eight misdemeanor counts and was sentenced to four years' probation and 100 hours of community service. He also must register as a sex offender.
According to Orange County prosecutors, Lakin surreptitiously snapped digital pictures of nine girls, ranging in age from about 4 to 13, at the outdoor family carnival on May 26, 2007.
The officer took more than 90 such photos that morning, eventually following a 5-year-old girl to photograph her as she climbed out of a wagon in a dress. A witness alerted the girl's father, who detained Lakin until police arrived.
Authorities found nearly 150 similar photos of little girls on Lakin's home computer, including one image of a nude toddler, prosecutors said.
Lakin retired from the LAPD last February after 10 years. At the time of his arrest, he worked downtown reviewing excessive force cases.

Ummm, the tat says in large letters, IS IT GOOD and he tells me she wears thongs almost everyday. Now you would think someone would have checked her for not dressing correctly in the workplace but he has told me that no such conversation has taken place. BTW, she is a customer service rep on the phones all day.

She didn't think Amber would fight her but ole girl surprised her. She told the other Amber to pull over so they could fight and she even opened the back door so she could get at Kayla. Now that was some funny shyt! LOL! Tiffany acted like a true hoodrat and you could tell dude was truly embarrassed by her. Secretly, I did wanna see her jump off the top of that truck and whup some azz. LOL!! I was so glad Bob told Joelle to shut the "f" up and do it. She was gettin on my damn nerves because she wouldn't shut the "F" up. Her friend back home should have been the one to stay because she's the heaviest woman in BL history thus far. Now on to RHOOC, I really hope Gretchen sleeps with Tamra's son. He look a little freaky and up for the task. That'll teach Tamra a lesson. Gretchen needs her back blown out in the worst way and I ain't mad at her! I think Vicki and the newest wife (forgot her name) are gonna really get into it. Vicki is such a skank!!

Comment: WASHINGTON (AP) — A Pentagon official acknowledged in an interview published Wednesday that the United States tortured Mohammed al-Qahtani, a Saudi man who allegedly had hoped to become the "20th hijacker" in the Sept. 11 attacks.
"We tortured Qahtani," said Susan J. Crawford, a retired judge who was appointed convening authority of military commissions in February 2007. Crawford was interviewed by The Washington Post's Bob Woodward.
Al-Qahtani was one of six men charged by the military in February 2008 with murder and war crimes for their alleged roles in the 2001 attacks. But in May, Crawford decided to dismiss the charges against al-Qahtani, who was being held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
His Pentagon-appointed attorney, Army Lt. Col. Bryan Broyles, suggested at the time that his client's harsh interrogation, authorized by the defense secretary, Donald H. Rumsfeld, could have influenced the decision.
"In any instance in which the United States wishes to impose the death penalty, my opinion is that such a case requires clean hands on the part of the U.S.," Broyles told The Associated Press in May.
U.S. authorities had acknowledged that al-Qahtani was subjected to waterboarding by CIA interrogators and that he was treated harshly at Guantanamo.
Al-Qahtani in October 2006 recanted a confession he said he made after he was tortured and humiliated at Guantanamo.
The alleged torture, which he detailed in a written statement, included being beaten, restrained for long periods in uncomfortable positions, threatened with dogs, exposed to loud music and freezing temperatures and stripped nude in front of female personnel.
In the interview published by the Post on Wednesday, Crawford said: "His treatment met the legal definition of torture. And that is why I did not refer the case" for prosecution.

Comment: Michael Frazier Jr. describes himself as so many other Americans -- living paycheck to paycheck.
» Click to enlarge image Michael Frazier never thought he'd live to see a black president. Marquis Wright (inset), a flight attendant, is taking a week off to attend the inauguration.
(Keith Hale/Sun-Times)
RELATED STORIESTheir road trip to history
So the 36-year-old South Sider says he can't afford time off from his Museum of Science & Industry job to join his family on their "Road Trip to the White House."
His mother, Pamela Frazier of Marquette Park, is taking nine family members on the three-day bus trip to the Capitol.
Going are Michael's two sons, Michael III, 16, and Mylon, 13, who he believes need to witness the inauguration of a black president.
"I love my boys to death," says the father, struggling to keep them in an apartment in upwardly mobile Beverly with his wife of 15 years.
"I'm grateful they'll be there to witness history -- a president sworn in that looks like them. I never thought I'd see it," he says.
Neither did his younger brother, Marquis Wright, a Southwest Airlines flight attendant who took a week off to go to the inauguration. He's flying in Friday because most flights from Saturday are booked solid.
"I just have to go," says Marquis.
"I have to give honor and thanks to this black man for even allowing himself to run, against the odds. You know it wasn't supposed to be. But through Barack Obama, Martin Luther King's dream -- everything King fought for and believed in -- is coming true."
Marquis says he expects to feel the way he did during the 1995 Million Man March, which Pamela also made sure her sons participated in. He says, "It will be emotional."
His brother says Obama has given him hope.
While Marquis left college after 2½ years when hired by Southwest, Michael, a DuSable High grad, has worked blue-collar jobs the past 20 years -- a Bennigan's waiter, a Mitsubishi Motors plant worker, housekeeping at the Congress Hotel, a laborer at the Chicago Cubs warehouse.
Michael's goal at one time, however, had been to go into electrical engineering.
"I have to work hard to take care of my family. It's always a paycheck from being homeless," he says.
"When Obama won, I wanted to scream, shout, everything. It made me realize it's never too late. I want my sons to be able to do things that I couldn't, to not have to struggle so much," the father says.
"That's why I'm so glad they're going, so they can see and know, 'I can do anything.' And though I can't be there, a part of me will be, in them. I've told them I want to know everything that happens."

Comment: Federal authorities used a video camera as part of their cache of tools to investigate Gov. Blagojevich in the final weeks of 2008 before his arrest, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.
The camera, which likely was remote-controlled, was trained on the Friends of Blagojevich offices, 4147 N. Ravenswood, to help FBI agents identify individuals entering and leaving the campaign offices -- and to identify who was talking on bugs agents covertly planted inside.
» Click to enlarge image Federal authorities used a video camera to keep an eye on everyone coming and going from Gov. Blagojevich's campaign offices -- and to keep track of who was talking on the bugs secretly planted inside.
(Richard A. Chapman/Sun-Times)
RELATED STORIESComplete coverage: Blagobusted.com
In addition, more phone lines and cell phones were tapped in the investigation than the government previously disclosed -- including the cell phones of at least three members of the governor's inner circle and two phones inside the campaign office -- capturing dozens of individuals in the days when the governor was pondering a U.S. Senate pick and when horsetrading for the seat was rampant, sources said. U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is likely among the numerous individuals recorded because he called Blagojevich's campaign office Dec. 3 to discuss his preferences for the seat.
Blagojevich was arrested Dec. 9 on charges he schemed to trade official actions, including President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat, for campaign cash and other perks.
Joseph Ways, former No. 2 at the Chicago FBI office who now works for Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, said it's typical that when bugs are planted a camera is installed on an outdoor pole.
"It can be maneuverable so you can sit with a control and move it around," Ways said. "It's a logical addition to a planted microphone."
If agents don't recognize the person or can't make out his or her face, a remote control allows them to visually follow an individual to his or her car and get the plate number. The FBI has used such cameras in the past, including in the visitors' area at a prison during the Family Secrets mob investigation. The camera helped identify various individuals caught on recordings.
The FBI doesn't need a judge's approval to install an outdoor camera because it's taping a public area, Ways said.
Ways said there's a possibility that some wires in the Blagojevich case could even still be up and running. "Just because this thing's been splashed on the front page across the country doesn't mean criminal conversations aren't going on over the phone," Ways said.

Comment: hospital security guard was charged with attacking a co-worker while wearing a mask, then "coming to her rescue" after she allegedly ignored his romantic advances Sunday in the Hyde Park neighborhood.
Donquila Butler, 29, of the 4600 block of South Prairie Avenue, was charged with felony unlawful restraint at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to police.
Butler, who was employed as a security guard at the University of Chicago Hospitals, is expected to appear in Cook County Criminal Court, for a bond hearing later Wednesday, police said.
On Sunday, Butler waved to a 19-year-old female co-worker whom he found romantically attractive. The woman, who works in the records department at the same hospital, ignored him as she had done numerous times in the past when he has tried to talk to her, police said.
The wave brush-off enraged him and at 12:10 p.m. Butler allegedly put on a ski mask and a hood and went to her work area. He allegedly grabbed her by the throat and said, “Shut the f--- up before I kill you right here,’’ police said.
Butler ran away when other hospital employees who were walking by saw the incident. They called hospital security and, shortly afterward, he “responds to his own call'' without the mask and hood but the woman identified him.

Comment: Several months after he was charged with raping a South Carolina woman, former NFL running back David Meggett was in jail Wednesday on allegations of another sexual %*$ault.
Meggett, 42, was arrested and charged with raping a 21-year-old woman in her North Charleston home, authorities said.
The woman told police she woke up at 1 a.m. Tuesday and found a man she knew as "Mike" sitting on her bed, according to an incident report. The man demanded that she repay $200 she owed him and raped her when she said she didn't have the money, police said.
Afterward, the man told her he was sorry and that she didn't have to repay him. The woman drove herself to the hospital, where Meggett later met her and was arrested, according to police records.
Meggett, who is listed as living in North Charleston, had been out on bond in connection with another sexual %*$ault charge.
In September, he was charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct after a 17-year-old North Charleston woman told authorities she was raped by a man she knew as "Michael," according to police records.
Both South Carolina arrests occurred while Meggett was serving out two years probation for a 2006 sexual battery charge in North Carolina. Authorities there allowed the Charleston native to serve his sentence in South Carolina and have been notified about both of Meggett's recent arrests, said Pete O'Boyle, spokesman for the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services.
North Carolina probation officials did not immediately return a phone message Wednesday.
The running back played for the New York Giants, the New York Jets and New England during his 10-year NFL career.
He was denied bond Tuesday night on charges of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and first-degree burglary, said Spencer Pryor, spokesman for the North Charleston police. He was being held Wednesday in the Charleston County jail, and it was unclear if he had an attorney.

Comment: Funerals are not my thing. Last one I attended I was 6 years old and this kid that grew up with me slipped on the rocks near the lake and died. Actually he was in a coma for weeks but this very religious family that lived near us consoled all of the kids and told us that our friend was not really dead. So the funeral comes and I am walking up to the casket, expecting this kid that I played with to come back alive, I touched him and was talking to him, nothing happened. There was a tap on the shoulder and this big man told me that he was dead and not coming back. I ran out. Last funeral for me. They just creep me out. Repast is cool, memorial service, but you bring a body, I will be outside.

Comment: LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — A Virginia company is issuing a voluntary national recall of bulk peanut butter that may be contaminated with salmonella.
Peanut Corp. of America issued the nationwide recall late Tuesday for peanut butter that was produced at its Blakely, Ga., plant.
The company says none of the peanut butter being recalled is sold through retail stores. Its peanut butter is made for bulk distribution to institutions, food service industries and private label food companies.
Health officials on Tuesday confirmed the deaths of two people in Virginia and one in Minnesota associated with a national salmonella outbreak that has sickened more than 400 people.

Comment: Baby Boy - I rejoice with you. The court order will negate the welfare office. Add him to your health insurance because just in case she files for medical assistance she won't get it if he is already covered. If files for monetary assistance she has to follow their guidelines and they vary from state to state. She may get food stamps and WIC since he is young. They will ask her if the father is absent from his life her answer determines what she gets. Whatever services she receives they'll try to recoup from you. KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS AND THE COURT ORDER. If and when her caseworker contacts you tell them about your court order.....in your honor I am listening to Testimony by Clay Evans......Congratulations on your victory!

I have our son have the time, which means that I foot all his expenses(food diapers etc) while he's with me, and she does the same while she's with her. My new lawyer was on point, and he said hers seemed to not be as prepared as necessary. Regardless, this is the exact same thing we shot for the first time we went to court but my case was so strong she feared losing full custody to me(I'm assuming) so she agreed to it this time!!!

Where everybody stops hollering and screaming and reminisces about the deceased over fried chicken, mac and cheese, green beans, potato salad, pound cake or sweet potato pie, and the required iced tea. /OSB - I only go to the funerals of those who I was close to. I don't look at dead bodies. If I have to walk by the casket I'll turn my head or just sit in the back.

Comment: Crazzee: she works at the Buckle(a clothing store) and is in the management training program there. Once she's completed that program(in about 5-6 more months), she has to move away outta state. My lawyer was pretty confident that the judge would have to lean heavy towards me because of this. Which may be why she was so willing to settle with an agreement, before taking it before the judge. NYE: thanks bro. My whole life I have continued to defy statistics, I will continue doing so. I am so happy, i cant even explain. I GOT MY BOY HALF THE TIME, which is what any true father wants ya know!!!

Comment: Ylawdy, I'm just wondering what's in the water. It's like a killing everyday. I just read about an off duty police officer was driving down a very busty street at 3:30pm. He observed a group of young black boys jump from a car and proceed to pump bulletws into another black boy. He was just standing on the sidewalk. The cop followed the suspects. The suspects ended up jumping out of the car to escape. One of the boys reached for his gun and the cop killed him. The boy that was killed is the son of two Philly cops.

A friend of the couple tells Us Weekly that all the couple are talking about is that Kelis is now carrying Hip Hop Royalty. No word on the due date, but Ke Ke is supposedly in her first trimester and already has a little bump. I honestly thought it would be a minute before we saw this happen. But oh wells–I love it all.

Comment: Ame, my bad... didn't know there was a designated spot for it. Y'all are too technical with the funeral stuff. Around here, it's quick, short and to the point, then you drop the body off at the cemetary, the pastor says a few words, then you throw a few roses on the casket then the immediate fam goes to a restaurant, has lunch/dinner and then goes home. From start to finish it's probably 3.5 - 4 hours.

We have a large family and it was about 2-3 thousand people at the funeral....I was wiped out when I got home....from eating, crying and laughing.....What was interesting was my cousin, his wife, ex wife and ex girlfriend were at the same table. The current wife was a bit uncomfortable but everyone else was cool. The ex girlfriend was the reason for the ex wife and they were talking like old friends....very interesting.

Well, that lasted for a while...until my ghettofab coworker started using earphones that cover up both ears and she wasn't answering the phones and she couldn't hear when her engineers walked up to her. *sigh* So now music is BANNED at our desk.

However she remarried (husband #3). Husband #3 moved out of the house so she could take care of husband #2 until he passed. She said she told him (#3) that she would always be there for him and she would take care of him while he was ill. Well she took care of him and he slept in her bed (don't know if anything went down) and that's where he died. I don't know ANY man that would do that for me.

Comment: Lovely> I agree wholeheartedly. The rehashing of ideas is a little tired right now. AND I hate how they are making movies from crazy stuff now. I mean, really - does EVERY superhero need a movie?

Comment: ROFL @ CrazzeeGyrl's cousin and the multitude of kids. My family doesn't have fertility problems, either. Only one cousin had problems miscarrying, now she has two daughters. Ironically, she was the only one who was settled and married. Everybody else popped babies out like it was no thang.
