Props to Thisis50.com

Although he is cur­rently the leader of the Byrd Gang, Jim Jones recently sug­gested that a Dipset reunion may come this year. Although he did not give many details, Jim Jones told DJ Whoo Kid his rela­tion­ship with Juelz San­tana and Cam’ron is still in tact. “Yeah def­i­nitely, that’s lit­tle bro right there,” Jones said refer­ring to Juelz San­tana. “It’s still Dipset for life above what any­body thinks. Shout-outs to Cam also but every­body got their own thing that they’re doing. We mov­ing in one accord though, you’d be sur­prise at what’s gonna hap­pen this year. We might knock the socks off the indus­try. Dipset, b*tch. That’s all I got to say.”

Mil­lion Dol­lar Baby– After the Super Bowl
Props to Essence.com

The Super Bowl may have ended Sun­day night with the score, Saints, 31, and Colts, 17, but we’re sure there was far more “scor­ing” off the field con­sid­er­ing the vast amount of groupies, er, ath­lete lovers in Miami this past week­end. Their goal? To trap an ath­lete. The ulti­mate play? Play­ing the preg­nancy card.

Don’t be shocked, many women come to sport­ing events like the Super Bowl, All Star Week­end, Pro Bowl, and the World Series with no inter­est in game, but all their atten­tion on the play­ers. These events become a play­ground for fer­tile groupies, from the rook­ies to the more sea­soned gold dig­gers. With all the par­ties, alco­hol, and cel­e­bra­tions, many pro­fes­sional ath­letes fall vic­tim to these pro­fes­sional seduc­tresses who don’t mind being a baby mama–a NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA baby mama, that is. 

By no means is there any­thing exclu­sive to women who make it their full-time job to actively chase pro­fes­sional ath­letes for brag­ging rights, money, or 15 min­utes of fame. But the stakes are raised con­sid­er­ably when their only motive is to con­ceive million-dollar babies: Chil­dren used as lever­age to get both time and large sums of money in child sup­port. Rec­og­niz­ing that 4 out of 10 women in the U.S. have babies out of wed­lock, sadly today it is now com­mon. Because of this, many of these groupies are not as stig­ma­tized as they may have once been for their gold-digging ways. Evi­dent in 50 Cent’s most recent sin­gle where he raps, “Have a baby by me baby, be a mil­lion­aire,” 50 Cent cosigns this behav­ior and cre­ates a quasi anthem for women who pur­sue hav­ing ille­git­i­mate chil­dren by men with deep pock­ets. Some of these ath­letes are more acces­si­ble than music and Hol­ly­wood celebri­ties, and they find them­selves caught up in messy, chaotic regrets and highly pub­li­cized baby-mama drama. 

Ask Bray­lon Edwards, 26, N.Y. Jets wide receiver, who appar­ently went too deep with for­mer America’s Next Top Model con­tes­tant Nik Pace, result­ing in the birth of their son, Bray­lon Jr., last August. Not only did their hookup result in an unplanned preg­nancy, but con­se­quently, Pace and Edwards are bat­tling over an unspec­i­fied amount of child sup­port. Cha Ching! Based soley on pub­lic opin­ion, it appears that Pace may have locked Edwards down with the age-old baby trap. But not Dwight Howard, 24, who was one step ahead of the game. He tack­led her first, just in case his baby mama, Royce Reed, even tried to empty his pock­ets. Howard, cen­ter for Orlando Magic, sued Reed for $9.2 mil­lion for post­ing pic­tures of their son on Twit­ter and allegedly defam­ing Howard’s name. Then there are ath­letes like Lance Briggs, Chicago Bear line­backer, Oak­land Raider Dar­ren McFad­den, and even super­star Michael Jor­dan who expe­ri­enced high-profile pater­nity cases. Accord­ing to Sports Illus­trated, “Ninety per­cent of athlete-related pater­nity cases are set­tled qui­etly before they become a mat­ter of pub­lic record.” 

Although these “groupie rela­tion­ships” are not noble, ath­letes with Shawn Kemp stats–seven chil­dren with six baby mommas–get no sym­pa­thy. These ath­letes are prop­erly warned about the pit­falls and temp­ta­tion they are sure to face, shame­fully get­ting caught up because of lack of dis­ci­pline. Men will be men, but as women, can we be more account­able and respon­si­ble for our choices? Time to lose the atti­tude that men are get­ting what they deserve or that they should of known bet­ter. Let’s be respon­si­ble for what we can con­trol. Tar­get­ing ath­letes solely to birth a 18-year pay­check lacks dig­nity and def­i­nitely shouldn’t be glo­ri­fied in our music. It will remain debat­able who is the more irre­spon­si­ble party and more at fault when it comes to groupie love, but ladies, let’s not involve the kids. Let’s train our younger women cor­rectly, you want a million-dollar baby? Be a real mother.

Black His­tory: Emmett W. Chap­pelle –Sci­en­tist– Born 1925 and still here..

Emmett W. Chap­pelle (1925-) is a sci­en­tist and researcher who made valu­able con­tri­bu­tions in sev­eral fields: med­i­cine, phil­an­thropy, food sci­ence, and astrochemistry.

Mil­i­tary Service/College Education

Chap­pelle was drafted into the army and assigned to a spe­cial unit that focused on cre­at­ing new weapons for the mil­i­tary. He was even­tu­ally trans­ferred to Nige­ria, where he served in an all-black infantry divi­sion. He was wounded in action twice.
Chap­pelle later attended Phoenix Col­lege and stud­ied elec­tri­cal engi­neer­ing. The GI Bill enabled him to attend the Uni­ver­sity of Cal­i­for­nia at Berke­ley, where he grad­u­ated in 1950 with a degree in biol­ogy. Four years later, he earned a master’s degree at the Uni­ver­sity of Wash­ing­ton, Seat­tle. He also stud­ied and worked as a research asso­ciate at Stan­ford Uni­ver­sity in California.

Career and Impor­tant Discoveries

From 1950 to 1953 he served as an instruc­tor of bio­chem­istry at Meharry Med­ical Col­lege in Nashville, Ten­nessee. From 1955 to 1959, he was a research asso­ciate at Stan­ford Uni­ver­sity.
In 1958 Chap­pelle joined the Research Insti­tute in Bal­ti­more, a divi­sion of the Mar­tin Mari­etta Cor­po­ra­tion which was famous for design­ing air­planes and space­craft. There, Chap­pelle dis­cov­ered that even one-celled plants such as algae, which are light­weight and can be trans­ported eas­ily, can con­vert car­bon diox­ide to oxy­gen. This dis­cov­ery helped to cre­ate a safe food sup­ply for astro­nauts.
Chap­pelle went to work at Hazel­ton Lab­o­ra­to­ries in 1963 as a bio­chemist. In 1966, he joined the National Aero­nau­tics and Space Admin­is­tra­tion at the God­dard Space Flight Cen­ter in Green­belt, Mary­land, as a research chemist, and later became a remote sens­ing sci­en­tist, study­ing nat­ural sys­tems to improve envi­ron­men­tal man­age­ment. Chap­pelle retired from NASA in 2001.
Some of Chappelle’s most inter­est­ing work was in the area of lumi­nes­cence, which is light with­out heat. While design­ing instru­ments for the Mars Viking space­craft, he became inter­ested in bio­lu­mi­nes­cence, which is warm light pro­duced by liv­ing organ­isms. Chap­pelle used two chem­i­cals from fire­flies which give off light when mixed with ATP (adeno­sine triphos­phate), an energy stor­age com­pound found in all liv­ing cells. This could pro­vide a method of detect­ing life on Mars.
Chap­pelle proved that the num­ber of bac­te­ria in semen can be mea­sured by the amount of light given off by that bac­te­ria. He also showed how satel­lites can mon­i­tor lumi­nes­cence lev­els to mon­i­tor crops (growth rates, water con­di­tions and har­vest timing).

Achieve­ments and Awards

Received 14 U.S. patents.
Hon­ored as one of the 100 most dis­tin­guished African Amer­i­can sci­en­tists and phil­an­thropists of the 20th Century.

One Year Later For Chris Brown and Rihanna
Props to Essence.com

It’s been 12 months since that fate­ful night in LA last Feb­ru­ary when Chris Brown assaulted then girl­friend, Rihanna. A year later and the two are get­ting on with their lives, reports Peo­ple. ‘Rihanna has her stuff together,” a source said. Despite deny­ing her rela­tion­ship with base­ball player Matt Kemp, whose alleged trou­bled past is a hot topic on the blo­gos­phere, the source says “Rihanna knows what she wants…He makes her happy.”

Mean­while a close friend of Chris Brown–who per­formed on last night’s SOS Help For Haiti telethon–says the 20-year-old singer has “matured a lot in the last year and peo­ple will see that when he re-emerges.”

Steve Har­vey Morn­ing Show’s Daily Straw­berry Let­ter

Every day we fea­ture the beloved “Straw­berry Let­ter” fran­chise that is so pop­u­lar on “The Steve Har­vey Morn­ing Show” heard nation­wide. Send in your let­ters and Shirley Straw­berry will dish out the nec­es­sary advice.

Today’s topic: Def­i­nitely Not Casper

Dear Steve,
I am a man and I have lived a good life but right now I am scared. I recently moved into a house directly across the street from a huge ceme­tery. I have zero neigh­bors, it’s a rural area on a main road that is being devel­oped com­mer­cially. Liv­ing in Kansas this time of year requires you to heat your house. I keep my ther­mo­stat on 75 degrees and almost every night I awaken around 3AM to voices in my kitchen. I would usu­ally start pray­ing because it was already in my mind that I may get vis­i­tors from across the street. I finally got the con­fi­dence to go inves­ti­gate. I switched on my lights and spoke in a loud tone: “Leave my house, you dead bas­tards.” The voices halted and laugh­ter erupted. Half scared and angry I went towards my kitchen, spot­ted 3 men play­ing cards at my kitchen table. I flung my ham­mer towards them and ran in the oppo­site direc­tion. My heart was beat­ing against my rib cage, say­ing let me out of here. I sum­moned the con­fi­dence to check my kitchen about 5 min­utes later, and they were gone, it was very cold in there and I took my cards and went back to bed. Don’t think I even winked once, surely did not get any more sleep. What should I do tonight Steve, any sug­ges­tions? Liv­ing sin­gle at 50, I eat mush­rooms daily could this be a part of my trouble?
