Wyclef bags honorary doctorate degree

Grammy Award-winning artist and philanthropist Wyclef Jean can now add another distinguished honor to his long list of achievements: The Haitian-born Jean was awarded an honorary doctorate on May 23 from Western Connecticut State University in Danbury.
Dr. Jean delivered a commencement speech, titled “Vision for the Future,” to the graduating class of 2010 and was presented a check from the university in the amount of $9,500 for his organization, Yéle Haiti.
Founded in 2005, Yéle Haiti was one of the leading organizations that stepped up to the plate in the aftermath of this year’s earthquake in Haiti.
Jean, who came from humble beginnings, stated that he had to “ride a donkey to school in Haiti” and stressed the importance of perseverance.

Sleep debt

MILLIONS of people today are in serious "debt."
This debt can be a major factor in wrecking their
cars, damaging their careers, and even ruining
their marriages. It can adversely affect their health
and life span. It is a deficit that contributes to
immune suppression, creating susceptibility to
various infections. Conditions as different as
diabetes, heart disease, and extreme obesity, as
well as other health problems, have been linked
to it. Yet, most victims are oblivious of this debt.
The culprit is sleep debt, which develops when a
person does not get the amount of healthful sleep
needed for well-being. This can be caused by
voluntary sleep deprivation resulting from a
person's life-style or by involuntary sleep
deprivation because of illness.
Medical researchers estimate that earth's
population is now getting, on average, an hour
less sleep per night than what is needed. While
this may seem slight, a nightly six-billion-hour
debt has become the focus of research into both
the variety of sleep-related illnesses and their
impact on the quality of life.
The medical world once viewed the chronic
inability to sleep as just one disorder, commonly
called insomnia. However,there are 17 recognized distinct sleep
disorders. At any rate, insomnia has so many
causes that it is often considered to be a
symptom of other problems, much as a fever
suggests some sort of infection.
Even occasional sleep
deprivation can cause
serious accidents
Even occasional deprivation of sleep can be
disastrous. Consider the case of Tom. Although
an experienced truck driver, he plunged his 18-
wheel vehicle over an embankment, spilling 30000L
of petrol onto a major
highway. Tom admits: "I fell asleep." Studies estimates that drowsy
drivers caused some 50 percent of the fatal
crashes.
Consider, too, the occupational dangers of being
around a sleepy coworker.A research showed that After 17 to 19 hours
without sleep [participants'] performance on
some tests was equivalent or worse than that at
[a blood-alcohol concentration of] 0.05%." In
other words, subjects functioned as if at or
beyond the legal limit in some countries of
alcohol permitted in a driver's bloodstream! With
hundreds of thousands of sleep-related auto and
job-site accidents happening annually, the
worldwide cost to productivity and family is
enormous.What factors may contribute to sleep debt? One
is the social phenomenon often called 24/7 —
operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
this is "a cultural
earthquake that is changing the way we live,"
noting that "a new wave of round-the-clock
retailers and services is profiting by mocking the
clock." In many lands people watch all-night
television programs and access the Internet when
they should be sleeping. Then there is the toll
taken by emotional disorders, often involving
anxieties heightened by stress and the pace of life.
Finally, there are a variety of physical diseases
that can contribute to sleep debt.
Many doctors note how difficult it is to get their
patients to take sleep debt seriously. One doctor
complained that chronic fatigue is even
considered "a status symbol" by some. And
because their condition often worsens very
gradually, victims of sleep deprivation may not
recognize that they suffer from a serious sleep
disorder. Many reason, 'I'm just getting old' or, 'I
can't cope with life, so I tend to shut down' or,
'I'm tired all the time because I can never get the
long rest I need.'
Reversing this sleep debt is a complex challenge.
But understanding how a healthful sleep cycle
works and learning to identify the signs of sleep
debt can provide the motivation to change.
Recognizing the symptoms of a serious sleep
disorder can save lives.

Da brat released from prison

Female rapper and celeb reality TV star Da Brat, who is nearing the end of a three-year prison sentence for smashing a bottle across a woman's face in 2007, has been released from prison on a work-release program.


The 2007 incident started when Da Brat, whose real name is Shawntae Harris, got into an argument with a waitress in an Atlanta-area club owned by record producer Jermaine Dupri. A shouting match between Da Brat and the waitress escalated into shoving, and witnesses testified that the rapper then picked up a rum bottle and hit the worker across the face with it, leaving the woman with permanent facial scars.

The petite performer, who is the sibling of actress and former first lady of Turks and Caicos LisaRaye, was charged with felony aggravated assault. She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to three years behind bars, seven years of probation and 200 hours of community service.

While behind bars, Da Brat was allowed to make a rare appearance on 'Living the Life,' a Web series hosted by Dupri, with whom she maintains close ties and refers to as her "brother." Her work-release program involves a daily commute from her cell to a nine-to-five job where she makes windows. When asked about her future plans, Da Brat enthusiastically replied, "I'm doing my thing. When I come out I'mma be making windows, music, movies, TV shows, anything I can get my hands on. It's too much grass done grew up while I ain't do nothing all this time and it got on my nerves. I'm fittin' to come out and run...fast."

Man beats child to death

A Memphis, Tennessee man is in police custody
after authorities say he beat a 2-year-old to death
with a basketball shoe after she accidentally
defecated on the floor.
Police report that 23-year-old Calvin Jones was
babysitting his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter
when the child had an accident on the floor.
Jones told police that he "disciplined" the child
with a basketball shoe and the back of his hand,
smacking her several times.
When the child's mother, 21-year-old Anisha
Alford returned, the child reportedly complained
of not feeling well and was cold to the touch.
A witness tells police they saw the child gagging
and spitting up with her eyes rolling in the back
of her head but say Alford refused to take her to
a hospital.
Instead the couple went to sleep and woke up in
the morning to find the child dead.
Jones faces charges of first degree murder and
aggravated child abuse.
Alford has been charged with first degree child
abuse as well.

Woman gives birth to twins from two different men!

In a case of infidelity that spiraled out of control,
a woman has given birth to children with a man
that she was having an affair with, but it has a

sons that are actually half-brothers, as they were
born from two different men, with the other
being her fiancé.

Arab American Rima Fakih wins Miss USA 2010

A 24-year-old Arab-American beat 50 other
women to take the 2010 Miss USA title on
Sunday.
Rima Fakih of Dearborn, Michigan, won the
pageant at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino
on the Las Vegas Strip after swimsuit, evening
gown and interview competitions.
When asked how she felt about winning the
crown, she said, "Ask me after I've had a pizza."
Fakih nearly fell while finishing her walk in a long,
strapless gown because of the length of its train,
but she made it without a spill and went on to
win.
During the interview portion, Fakih was asked
whether she thought birth control should be paid
for by health insurance, and she said she believed
it should because it's costly.
"I believe that birth control is just like every other
medication even though it's a controlled
substance," Fakih said.
Fakih replaces Miss USA 2009 Kristen Dalton and
won a spot representing the United States in the
2010 Miss Universe pageant. She also gets a one-
year lease in a New York apartment with living
expenses, an undisclosed salary, and various
health, professional and beauty services.
Miss Oklahoma USA Morgan Elizabeth Woolard
was named first runner-up after handling a
question about Arizona's strict new immigration
law. Woolard said she supports the law, which
requires police enforcing another law to verify a
person's immigration status if there's "reasonable
suspicion" that the person is in the country
illegally.
She said she's against illegal immigration but is
also against racial profiling.
"I'm a huge believer in states' rights. I think that's
what's so wonderful about America. So I think it's
perfectly fine for Arizona to create that law."
"The Office" actor Oscar Nunez was booed as he
asked the question and asked the audience to wait
until he finished the question before they reacted.
Miss Virginia USA Samantha Evelyn Casey was
the second runner-up, Miss Colorado USA Jessica
Hartman was third runner-up, and Miss Maine
USA Katherine Ashley Whittier was the fourth
runner-up.
Most of the field of contestants from all 50 states
and Washington were eliminated just after the
pageant began and the entire group danced
onstage to "TiK ToK" by Ke$ha.
A panel of eight judges, including NBA star
Carmelo Anthony and Treasure Island casino-
hotel owner Phil Ruffin, were judging the women
throughout the night.
After 15 contestants strutted in swimsuits, five
were eliminated. Another five were eliminated
after the evening gown competition.
Miss Nebraska USA Belinda Renee Wright won
the Miss Congeniality award, roughly one week
after her father was killed in a farm accident. Miss
Alabama USA Audrey Moore won Miss
Photogenic after an online fan vote.
The pageant aired on NBC. The network owns the
pageant in a joint venture with Donald Trump.
The competition, which is not affiliated with the
Miss America pageant, was hosted by celebrity
chef Curtis Stone and NBC correspondent Natalie
Morales.

Aftermath of Poland aircrash:NATO worries

The recent crash of a Polish military transport that
killed most of Warsaw's senior civilian and
military leaders was not only a human
catastrophe for a key U.S. ally. NATO sources
said that, in addition to the loss of nearly 100 pro-
U.S. Polish leaders, the crash provided Moscow
with a windfall of secrets.
The crash killed Polish President Lech Kaczynski in
western Russia on April 10 and decapitated
Poland's military, killing two service chiefs, key
military aides and several national security
officials, many of whom were carrying
computers and pocket memory sticks that
contained sensitive NATO data.
Perhaps the most significant compromise,
according to a NATO intelligence source, is that
the Russians are suspected of obtaining
ultrasecret codes used by NATO militaries for
secure satellite communications.
The compromise of the codes is considered what
electronic spies call a "break" for Moscow code-
breakers. New NATO codes almost certainly were
issued to allied militaries immediately after the
crash.
But if the Russian electronic intelligence service,
known as the Federal Agency of Government
Communications and Information, was able to
recover and use the communication key code
from the wreckage, electronic spies will be able to
decode months' or perhaps years' worth of
scrambled communications that are routinely
gathered electronically for just such an occasion.
The coded communications, if decrypted, would
reveal some of NATO's most intimate secrets,
such as plans for defenses and even the identities
of agents or allied eavesdropping sources.
Other Polish and NATO secrets also were
believed to be aboard the jet, and so far Russia's
government is refusing to cooperate fully with
Poland's government in providing details on the
cause of the crash, or even to turn over the
Polish jet's black boxes.
Additionally, Poland's interim government has
not pressed the Russians for answers to
questions about the crash, such as why Russian
aviation authorities, without any investigation,
ruled that pilot error caused the crash minutes
after the jet crashed short of the runway in fog at
Russia's Smolensk airport. Polish security and
aviation authorities also were denied access to the
crash site.
Public pressure is mounting on Warsaw to call
for an international commission to investigate the
crash. Tens of thousands of Poles already have
signed a petition calling for the international
probe.
Many Poles, who need little encouragement to be
critical of the Russians based on past enmity,
have taken to calling the crash the "second
Katyn," after the 1940 Katyn Forest massacre
when Russian agents killed more than 21,000
Polish officers in an effort to decimate the Polish
military.
Mr. Kaczynski, who was viewed as politically
more anti-Russian than current leaders, was on
his way to Katyn, about six miles from Smolensk,
to mark the anniversary of the massacre..Source:washingtontimes

Diddy visits Lil Wayne in prison

Lil Wayne has been behind bars for almost two
months now, and he's managed to make
headlines as if he never went away. The rapper
made waves earlier this week for having
headphones, a charger and a watch that doubles
as an MP3 player in his jail cell, according to a
source at Rikers Island who spoke to MTV News.
And last week, Diddy visited the Cash Money
Records superstar in jail. But according to the
same Rikers source, the Bad Boy mogul made
more noise in the papers than at the prison
facility. "No one knew [he was here] until it was
time for him to leave," the source told MTV
News. "You know, also, a lot of the time people
don't want to seem like they're stargazers, the
officers." Diddy has yet to comment about his Lil
Wayne visit

Ruggedman denies affair with 9ice's wife

It started as a rumour that 9ice caught his wife
Toni Payne giving Ruggedman a blow job. I
wondered where such a terrible rumour
emanated from only to find out it was from 9ices
song titled "once bitten twice shy".In the song
done by my own friend,he sang that he saw his
" girl" (Not his wife Toni Payne) giving his
"friend"(Not Ruggedman) a blow job.Since 9ice
himself did not mention anybodys name in the
said song I thought nothing of the evil,wicked
rumour,but it spread wider and i heard a lot of
people started assuming a lot and i have been
called so many things by people over something
i did not do.
Even some shameless soft sells unproffessionally
published the rumour based on heresay, without
talking to the partys involved,but i dont blame
them.Some will publish anything just to sell.
I expected 9ice as a friend to come out and clear it
up by announcing to people that it was not me
he sang about in his song but till date he has not
done so to reasons best known to him i guess.I
called 9ice to talk about it and clear it up and he
said so many things including that he will not
come out and clear my name that has been
dragged into a maliscous rumour.
I did not want to believe that 9ice has refused to
clear it up because it is helping his album sales like
some people have said.I did not want to believe it
but I am happy i recorded the conversation and I
want you all to hear for urselves what he said to
me so that this rumour can stop once and for all.
Hear 9ice himself now and know that NOTHING
OF THAT NATURE EVER HAPPENED BETWEEN
TONI PAYNE AND RUGGEDMAN.
Pls after this,if anybody dares to mention my
name in such a thing again its only God that will
deal with such a person.

INEC gets new boss

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday
approved the appointment of Prince Solomon
Soyebi, as the Acting Chairman of the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC).
This brought to an end the short reign of Philip
Umeadi, who without approval, had taken over
leadership of the commission the moment
former Chairman, Prof. Maurice Iwu was asked
to begin his terminal leave, preparatory to the end
of his tenure on June 13.
Umeadi, who had broken into the office
vacated by Iwu in his bid to forcefully assume
office, was however jolted when news reached
him that Prince Soyebi has been appointed to act
till a substantive chairman was appointed.
Prof. Iwu before he began his leave last week had
written President Jonathan informing him that he
had begun his leave as directed, noting however,
that a formal handover of the commission to an
acting chairman would be performed when a
replacement had been appointed.
He also noted that a detailed handover note was
being prepared by commission's Secretary, Alhaji
Abdullahi Kaugama to help achieve a smooth
transition.

Terrence Howard plays Mandela in 'Winnie'

Terrence Howard will portray Nelson
Mandela while Jennifer Hudson plays Winnie,
based on the story of Winnie Mandela, Nelson
Mandela's ex wife.The movie is set
to start production on May 31 in Cape Town,
Johannesburg and Robben Island, where Nelson
Mandela was held prisoner for 18 of his 27 years
in prison.
While Nelson Mandela is a universally
sympathetic figure for his struggle against
apartheid, his former wife is a far more
complicated figure. She has been depicted as the
mother and wife who was a steadfast supporter
of her activist husband and who was jailed
herself for campaigning for his release and
fighting against apartheid. Her image was
subsequently tarnished by association with a
bodyguard who murdered a 14-year old alleged
informer, and she was later convicted of fraud.
