Words I Never Said

Here is Lupe's 2nd official single from the highly anticipated Lasers.

The 'bin Laden' of marginalisation: The real terror eating away at the Arab world is socio-economic marginalisation.

"Conventional wisdom has it that 'terror' in the Arab world is monopolised by al-Qaeda in its various incarnations. There may be some truth in this.

However, this is a limited viewpoint. Regimes in countries like Tunisia and Algeria have been arming and training security apparatuses to fight Osama bin Laden. But they were caught unawares by the 'bin Laden within': the terror of marginalisation for the millions of educated youth who make up a large portion of the region's population.

The winds of uncertainty blowing in the Arab west - the Maghreb - threaten to blow eastwards towards the Levant as the marginalised issue the fatalistic scream of despair to be given freedom and bread or death." Read More

DUB PLATES AT TUFF GONG

Here is part 2 that constitutes out of a 3-part short film where Nas and Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley take a trip out to Jamaica. On the third night Damian and Stephen Marley went to work over a new Stephen song called ‘Jah Army.’ The song is pure heat. Dubplates are the stock and trade of the Jamaican musician. Tuff Gong itself is a place filled with so much history as Stephen explains to Nas at the beginning – even Bunny Wailer made an surprise appearance.

Exploding stars may shed light on mysterious dark energy

"The future of the cosmos is hidden within dark energy, the invisible substance that constitutes more than 70 percent of the universe.

A study released Thursday by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics moves scientists closer to measuring and understanding the mechanics of dark energy and its impact on the expansion of the universe.

“Dark energy is the most profound problem in all of science,” said astrophysicist Michael Turner, a professor at the University of Chicago who was not involved in the study. “And it’s a very hard problem.”

The new study proposes a relatively simple method for enhancing the accuracy of dark energy observations by changing scientists’ understanding of supernovae, huge exploding stars that cast light across galaxies." Read More

Spokeo

my mom showed me this site a couple of weeks ago.

"Spokeo says that they’ve gathered this information from public documents, phone directories, social networks, marketing surveys, mailing lists, government censuses, real estate listings, and business websites. Which makes me even more upset about the times I’ve signed up for free stuff at the club thinking all I had to deal with was them sending me junk mail from time to time.

But yeah, if you are breathing, odds are your information is up on Spokeo. Of course they are a business and you have to sign-up and pay for their services, but just from typing in a name, there is plenty of information available for anyone looking fo’yo ass. I suggest that you delete yourself like I did. It may not change a whole lot, but it made me feel a little better." Read More

i paid the monthly fee and im getting my shit taken off. its mad cheap so go ahead and handle your business. Delete that shit!

p.s.
ive already looked u up ;)

Gender-bending Butterflies

"The evolutionary ecologist and lecturer at Yale started investigating why both males and females have eyespots. She and co-author Antonia Monteiro hypothesized that temperature could play a role in the development of the showy ornamentation. They tested this theory allowing one set of caterpillars to be reared at around 63 degrees Fahrenheit (mimicking the cool, dry season) and another set at around 81 degrees Fahrenheit (mimicking the warm, wet season).

'We didn’t expect to see a behavioral difference,' Prudic said. 'We knew there was a difference in wing morphology, but this was an unpredicted result.'

With this being the first species in which a change like this was observed, questions arise about what other behaviors could be modified based on developmental influences. Also the temperature-specific parameter begs the question about what could happen with climate change affecting organisms with developmental body features and behaviors based on environmental context."

"While the volume examines the impact of light-skinned entertainers such as Lena Horne and Dorothy Dandridge, as well as sexy, silky-voiced crooners Nat King Cole, Sam Cooke and other black notables who used the blending of black and white to their own advantage, Mulatto America also documents the adaptation of black culture by whites a social appropriation that has given rise to modern icons like Eminem. Talty, a journalist who has written for The New York Times Magazine and the Chicago Review, delivers an intelligent and accessible analysis of race in this country with Mulatto America." - bookpage.com
