The DOC speaks

From Hiphopdx: I was really arrogant back then. I used to tell them muthafuckas all the time, “If it wasn’t for me, y’all niggas wouldn’t have shit!” Which may be why niggas is trying to shit on me now, because payback is a muthafucka.
The DOC did an interview in HipHopDX and talks about his talent and , his influence in N.W.A.
from Hiphopdx:The actual name “Death Row” came from me. I actually wanted to call the label “Def Row,” ‘cause in my mind Dre was what Russell Simmons was to the east …. That’s how important he was. And then one of the other artists, a female named Jewell, she was like, “Wow, that’s cool, Death Row.” I was like, “Nah, Def Row.” And Dre was like, “Nah, nigga, Death Row ….” And then with all these thug-minded-ass muthafuckas around…it didn’t take long before that’s just what that was.
from hiphopdx:It was a dirty time. And if you really had a movie about that shit, it would fuck you up – from the beginning of Ruthless all the way through to the end of Death Row, and it showed the kind of niggas that could manipulate [Tupac's] death. I know.
from hiphopdx:I don’t think ‘Pac or [the Notorious B.I.G.] ended up the way that they shoulda ended up. I don’t think it shoulda went like that. [All] because greed, money and power went too far with niggas that don’t really have any money. Having a million dollars ain’t no fuckin’ money. These is muthafuckas [in power] running around here with multiple billions of dollars, that can buy and sell you…at a heartbeat, as if you were a slave. They can do that.
From hiphopdx:hat’s funny. That is funny. That was my Fresh Prince days. If [Will Smith] ever reads this, it’ll fuck him up: I can remember when I was in that group, the Fila Fresh Crew, and I was opening up [a show for DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince]. And he had these dancers. It was two guys, and this one bow-legged girl. And they were wearing…spandex. This is when those things were in style. And Fresh Prince was on stage. He was rippin’. I had just opened it up. And the crowd was goin’ nuts. But they didn’t go nuts when I was up there. And in my opinion, I was better than everybody. So I was off feeling bad. And the little bow-legged girl was like, “Baby, don’t worry, you gon’ get your chance.” I thought that shit was so sweet that I never forgot that.

WTF Ziggy Marley's MARIJUANAMAN. Yes, I had to say the same thing. He's a Grammy Award-winning musician, an irrefutable Reggae star, and staunch environmental and social activist. In April, ZIGGY MARLEY steps into another creative arena with the release of MARIJUANAMAN from Image Comics.
Based on a character conceived of by Ziggy Marley, written by Man of Action Studios JOE CASEY (GODLAND, BUTCHER BAKER) and illustrated by JIM MAHFOOD (KICK DRUM COMIX, MIX TAPE), MARIJUANAMAN promises to shatter all expectations -- this is not the comic you think it is! The oversized deluxe hardcover graphic novel tells the tale of a noble extraterrestrial champion, who has arrived on Earth to deliver an important message and at the same time save his own planet.
"MARIJUANAMAN represents the hope of the future... the hope that we will utilize all of the power that the universe has given us to save our planet," Marley explained.
Casey spoke of being part of the creative trio, "Mahfood and I have been friends for over a decade and I've been a big fan of his for even longer. This was the perfect project for us to collaborate on because Ziggy's given us a great concept to go nuts with. This book goes beyond just being a comic... this book is an experience."
Yes, a get high experience and meditation MON.

Need help finding a job Uncle Sam gives back

Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis today unveiled a new online tool called My Next Move. The tool is aimed at providing jobseekers with information on more than 900 occupations, as well as local job openings and training opportunities in a simple, user-friendly format.
Accessed at http://mynextmove.dol.gov, My Next Move is intended to assist all jobseekers. It may be especially useful for students, young adults and other first-time workers as they explore potential careers based on their interests. The new tool complements the department's "mySkills myFuture" site at http://www.mySkillsmyFuture.org, which is designed to help those with previous work experience match their existing skills to new occupations.
"This administration is committed to expanding opportunities for all Americans. That includes ensuring all workers — those with years of experience and those just entering the workforce — have the information they need to make informed career decisions and get good jobs," said Secretary Solis. "By leveraging technology in a user-friendly tool, My Next Move will help those seeking career guidance learn more about work opportunities in fields that are of interest to them and that are likely to have job openings today and well into the future."
The new website allows users to search for jobs by occupation, by industry and using the "O*NET Interest Profiler," which matches an individual's interests with suitable occupations by asking 60 questions. Since 2001, the department's Occupational Information Network, or O*NET, has used a 180-question version of the profiler that could be printed out or downloaded to a personal computer. The new, streamlined version is available online for the first time as part of My Next Move

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in collaboration with the Ad Council today expanded efforts to continue to provide information, support and resources to individuals and families affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Emotional distress resulting from traumatic events can surface years after an incident occurs.
“While the immediate crisis is over, many Gulf Coast residents continue to need support as they work to rebuild their lives after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. It is natural for some people to need help over time in dealing with the emotional trauma and distress experienced from such an event and associated losses,” said SAMHSA Administrator Pamela S.

You need $2 - $2.50 per day to eat fruits and veggies
Staff Writer

.www.streetroachpics.com .
A new study just released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Economic Research Service shows just how affordable fruits and vegetables really are. Getting the recommended amount costs only $2 - $2.50 per day. Researchers also found no significant difference between the average prices of fresh and processed fruits and vegetables.
The study used Nielsen Homescan data from 2008 to estimate the average retail price per pound and per cup of 153 commonly consumed fresh and processed fruits and vegetables. They found that average prices ranged from under 20 cents per cup to over $2 per cup depending on the specific fruit or veggie.
"We all know how important fruits and vegetables are to a healthy diet, yet most Americans don't eat enough of them," said Elizabeth Pivonka, Ph.D., R.D., president and CEO of Produce for Better Health Foundation (PBH), the nonprofit organization, in partnership with CDC, behind the Fruits & Veggies—More Matters® national public health initiative. "Eating fruits and vegetables is a sound investment in long-term health. The notion that they are too expensive is just an excuse for some people. Fruits and vegetables are literally the cheapest form of health insurance you can buy!"
The new 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans advise us to fill half our plates with fruits and vegetables at each meal and snack. This new USDA research shows that this can be done easily and affordably while incorporating all forms of fruits and vegetables into the diet. Among the 153 varieties of fruits and vegetables used in the USDA study were fresh, frozen, canned, dried, and 100 percent juice. All of these nutritious, delicious forms of produce count towards filling half your plate each day
Did National Prayer Breakfast ignore LBGT community?

Wow, I am sure many families across the world have felt this pain. You have a family member that is apart of the LBGT community and, they die or something takes their life. You goto your pastor to ask for a prayer and , they say no
National Prayer Breakfast organizers refused to include a remembrance of Ugandan gay rights activist David Kato during today's highly publicized and politicized event, in spite of a request for prayer by top religious leaders.
Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church and Auburn Theological Seminary are now promising to keep an international spotlight on the storm of violence and hateful treatment of gays in Uganda, spurred by a proposed anti-gay bill which calls for life imprisonment, and even the death penalty in some cases, of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
Bishop Robinson and Rev. John Vaughn, the executive vice president of Auburn Theological Seminary, released this public statement addressed to the organizers of the National Prayer Breakfast, which is the Fellowship Foundation, also known as The Family:
"We are deeply disturbed that our request to remember the murdered Ugandan gay activist David Kato at the National Prayer Breakfast was ignored by its organizers, while the safety and human rights of gay Ugandans hang in the balance. We are watching, indeed the world is watching, innocent Ugandans living in an environment of violence and hate.
You are religious leaders with political influence in the U.S. and personal ties to Uganda, united by your belief in God's Word. We urge you to stand true to that Word. We ask that you, 'The Family,' make a public statement that definitively calls out the pending anti-gay legislation in Uganda as a manifestation of sin. At this pivotal moment, exert your direct influence over those responsible for its creation and possible passage, such as MP David Bahati, Ethics Minister Nsaba Buturo, and President Yoweri Museveni.
Moms Asked to Tell EPA: Ban Anti-Bacterial Soaps WTF
Staff Writer

Everyone thought Anti-Bacterial Soaps was safe. Anti-bacterial soaps make us less safe, by leaving surviving bacteria stronger. What's worse, the chemical used to produce this result effect is suspected of causing deadly illnesses. The Environmental Protection Agency has so far declined to regulate this chemical, triclosan, but is now taking public comment on the issue until this Monday, February 7. Natural cosmetics company Ecco Bella has joined the campaign urging the EPA to ban triclosan. Read the full article to learn how you can contact the EPA.
Imagine going for a swim with your family, only to realize the water is full of germ-killing soap. Well, that’s just what a lot of dolphins have been experiencing, thanks to a dangerous pesticide called Triclosan. Now found throughout the environment, Triclosan is right under your nose, in everyday cleaning products such as antibacterial soaps.
A petition to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency identifies the dangers of triclosan, noting its widespread use and also the failure of the EPA to take appropriate action. One of the leading organizers of the petition effort, Beyond Pesticides, states, “Triclosan is an endocrine disruptor and has been shown to affect male and female reproductive hormones, which potentially increases cancer risk. Recent studies show triclosan’s adverse effects on fetal growth and development.”
