MARIAH CAREY AND NICK CANNON HAVING A BOY AND GIRL

$$ CONGRATULATIONS TO MARIAH AND NICK ON THEIR TWINS! $$



Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon were understandably excited when they learned that they were having twins, but imagine how they felt when they found out that they were having both a boy and a girl!
Carey confirmed to Life & Style magazine that she and her husband of three years are expecting fraternal twins. “Even before we announced it was twins, I was trying to keep everything gender-neutral because I didn’t want to impose an identity on them too soon,” Mariah told Life & Style. “There were fan contests on Twitter about what gender they are and rumors about them being two boys or two girls — but nobody guessed this!”

   

EGYPT CRISIS THRU EYES OF THE LOCAL RESIDENTS

$$ THIS IS SO CRAZY ON WHA'S GOIN ON IN EGYPT. HOPEFULLY THINGS COULD GET RESOLVED AND ALL OF THIS COULD BE OVER WITH ASAP. LET'S KEEP THESE RESIDENTS IN OUR PRAYERS $$

Local residents weigh in on the turmoil in Egypt:
“I think it’s about time. I’m also very worried which direction the change will take us. I am frightened about the Muslim Brotherhood and the pressure from Iran for Egypt to be a Muslim country.
The country should do what America does, separate church and state. Turkey was able to do it and they turned their economy around.
I left when I was 22, there was no opportunity, no freedom of speech, no freedom of choice. Being a woman there and always being opinionated like I am, I wasn’t going anywhere. I wanted to be free.
I still have my mother, brother and sister and other family there and they are terrified, they are running out of food. I’m worried, this has got to be solved soon.”
—Hanaa Hensersky of San Diego, a Muslim and vice president of a bank
“I wish I was there. This revolution is an amazing feeling. Never in my life did I expect the Arabs to be able to pull this off.
What happens is going to depend on what the American government does. It’s going to take some world pressure for (President Hosni Mubarak) to step down.”
—Mohammad Zaman of San Diego, a board member for the Islamic Center of North County
“Right now I am worried about my mom and my sister, I believe they have been locked in the house and cannot leave. I spoke to them three or four days ago and I was told electricity was shut down now.
When I finished university, I left right away. I didn’t like Egypt at all. You can hardly find a job, you have to know somebody up higher otherwise you will be nothing. If I was living there, I would be demonstrating the same as the people who are there.
My hope is we can get (a leader who is) educated and who is a good person — someone who can create a system for everybody to have an equal opportunity.”
—Walid Ibrahim of San Diego, a Muslim and an accountant
“In response to the crisis, we are in the middle of a three-day series of fasting and prayer for a peaceful resolution. A lot of people in the congregation have family in Egypt and some have not been able to confirm their family is safe and secure.
Even though I was born and raised here, I feel very connected to Egypt because of my family and because of the church. Our pope is in Egypt.
For all of us Orthodox Christians, we want to see a peaceful transition to a government that has the best interest of all the citizens at heart, both Christians and Muslims.”
—Father Moses Samaan, St. Demiana Coptic Orthodox Church in San Diego
“We are concerned for our family, for their safety with all that has happened. My father has four siblings there he is trying to reach.
The people of Egypt have suffered for a long time. They essentially want what we have. They want democracy, they want the freedom to choose their leader. They want equality. They want stability. They want the ability to afford food for their children.
My parents left because of this oppression and they came here for a better life for their family and their children about 30 years ago.”
—Bassant Khalil of San Diego, a Coptic Christian and pharmacist
“My parents came to America after they got married in 1984 for residencies in Chicago. They are both physicians and they ... wanted to raise their children in a place where we could practice religion freely and women are treated equally.
We are afraid of what is going to come after Mubarak leaves. The fact that we don’t know who is going to take over, that is very scary. It would be so much easier to take sides if the demonstrators had a leader and they knew who they wanted to put in.”
My aunt (in Egypt) was telling me that in some apartment buildings the men, the youth, they go and make a circle around the entrances with whatever primitive weapons they have for protection. We have other family members there too and we’ve been able to communicate with them very intermittently. They’ve been able to tell us they are OK.

LOS ANGELES – Lindsay Lohan is in the spotlight again for all the wrong reasons.
Police got a search warrant Tuesday to look for a $2,500 stolen necklace at the troubled actress' home near Venice Beach, a freewheeling boardwalk known for its mix of performers, tourist shops and seaside gym.
But before detectives could execute the warrant, someone — police wouldn't say who — turned in the necklace.
Police presented a potential case against the actress Wednesday afternoon, although prosecutors will not make an immediate decision on whether to pursue charges, district attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said.
Los Angeles police Officer Bruce Borihanh said the department's investigation into the "Mean Girls" star was for possible grand theft.
The allegations bring more problems for Lohan, 24, who is still on probation for a 2007 drunken driving case and is also being investigated for possible battery on a rehab worker in December.
Phone and e-mail messages sent to Lohan's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, were not immediately returned.
Kamofie & Co., a Venice custom jewelry store, reported the necklace stolen on Jan. 22, roughly three weeks after the actress was released from three months of court-ordered rehab at the Betty Ford Center. The treatment, her fifth rehab session, came after she admitted failing a drug test shortly after being granted early release from another treatment program.

Regardless of the decision by prosecutors in Los Angeles and Riverside County, where Betty Ford is located, Lohan is due back in court on Feb. 25 for a probation hearing.
Jeff Kaman, the husband of storeowner Sofia Kaman confirmed that the necklace involved in the Lohan case was from Kamofie, but declined further comment, citing the police investigation.
The store is within walking distance of Lohan's home. Kamofie's jewelry is no stranger to celebrities — according to the store's website its merchandise has been featured in several celebrity magazines, including a photo of actress Amanda Seyfried in People magazine's "World's Most Beautiful" people issue last year.
Lohan's frequent legal troubles, including lawsuits and two rehab stints and two trips to jail in 2010 alone, have led to the actress appearing more in court than on the big screen in recent years.
Her role as porn star Linda Lovelace in a biopic was recast while Lohan was being treated at Betty Ford.
The case of the stolen necklace is the second active police investigation that could return the former Disney star to jail if a judge determines she has violated her probation. Prosecutors in Riverside County are considering whether to press battery charges against Lohan over a December altercation the actress had with a worker at a Betty Ford Center facility in Palm Desert.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden S. Fox warned Lohan at a hearing last year that he would send her back to jail if she violated the terms of her probation, which requires her to obey all laws and submit to frequent drug tests.
The investigation into the stolen necklace was first reported by celebrity website RadarOnline.com. Police would not release additional details about the item Wednesday.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

FEBUARY 2011- CELEBRATING "BLACK HISTORY MONTH"


 


Today marks the start of Black History Month, when African-American history is celebrated in the classroom, on television and in daily life.

One of the running good-natured jokes about Black History Month is that it just so happens to be celebrated in February -- the shortest month of the year. How did February become Black History Month? Surge Desk presents the history of, ah, the history month.

According to the Library of Congress, Black History Month has its roots in something called Negro History Week. In 1925, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, an African-American historian who founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, proposed Negro History Week as a way to encourage people to learn more about black history. He selected a week in February that included the birthdays of both Abraham Lincoln and black abolitionist Frederick Douglass.

The first Negro History Week was celebrated in February 1926. "The response was overwhelming," says the Library of Congress. "Black history clubs sprang up; teachers demanded materials to instruct their pupils; and progressive whites, not simply white scholars and philanthropists, stepped forward to endorse the effort."

In the early 1970s, Negro History Week was rechristened Black History Week to reflect the changing language used to describe African-Americans. Then, in 1976, as America observed its bicentennial, Black History Week was expanded to the full month we celebrate today.

Every February since 1976, the U.S. president issues a proclamation declaring the second month of the year Black History Month or National African American History Month.

You can read Barack Obama's 2010 National African American History Month proclamation.

Presidential Proclamation -- National African American History Month

A PROCLAMATION

In the centuries since African Americans first arrived on our shores, they have known the bitterness of slavery and oppression, the hope of progress, and the triumph of the American Dream. African American history is an essential thread of the American narrative that traces our Nation's enduring struggle to perfect itself. Each February, we recognize African American History Month as a moment to reflect upon how far we have come as a Nation, and what challenges remain. This year's theme, "The History of Black Economic Empowerment," calls upon us to honor the African Americans who overcame injustice and inequality to achieve financial independence and the security of self empowerment that comes with it.
Nearly 100 years after the Civil War, African Americans still faced daunting challenges and indignities. Widespread racial prejudice inhibited their opportunities, and institutional discrimination such as black codes and Jim Crow laws denied them full citizenship rights. Despite these seemingly impossible barriers, pioneering African Americans blazed trails for themselves and their children. They became skilled workers and professionals. They purchased land, and a new generation of black entrepreneurs founded banks, educational institutions, newspapers, hospitals, and businesses of all kinds.
This month, we recognize the courage and tenacity of so many hard-working Americans whose legacies are woven into the fabric of our Nation. We are heirs to their extraordinary progress. Racial prejudice is no longer the steepest barrier to opportunity for most African Americans, yet substantial obstacles remain in the remnants of past discrimination. Structural inequalities -- from disparities in education and health care to the vicious cycle of poverty -- still pose enormous hurdles for black communities across America.
Overcoming today's challenges will require the same dedication and sense of urgency that enabled past generations of African Americans to rise above the injustices of their time. That is why my Administration is laying a new foundation for long-term economic growth that helps more than just a privileged few. We are working hard to give small businesses much-needed credit, to slash tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas, and to give those same breaks to companies that create jobs here at home. We are also reinvesting in our schools and making college more affordable, because a world class education is our country's best roadmap to prosperity.
These initiatives will expand opportunities for African Americans, and for all Americans, but parents and community leaders must also be partners in this effort. We must push our children to reach for the full measure of their potential, just as the innovators who succeeded in previous generations pushed their children to achieve something greater. In the volumes of black history, much remains unwritten. Let us add our own chapter, full of progress and ambition, so that our children's children will know that we, too, did our part to erase an unjust past and build a brighter future.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim February 2010 as National African American History Month. I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, and all the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand ten, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.

BARACK OBAMA

MALCOLM X
