Perhaps you remember Chingy's '03 party-rap hit Right Thurr. If not, too bad -- you won't find much here to remember him by. The St. Loo rapper's forgettable fourth disc consists mostly of lightweight beats and poppy synth melodies, topped with the ever-mellow Chingy's nasal sing-song vocals and repetitive lyrics. You might not hate it, but there's little to love here eithurr. .
US Consumers Oblivious to GM Food Fears
This whole arrangement reminds me of the nightmare of Axis Chemical in the movie Batman. Unfortunately in our sad tale, there is not one homocidal "Joker", but rather 500 of them on wall street. The poor guy at the frankenfood market is now screwed. His choice is GM chromsomal damage from mountains of processed poison in plastic bags or GM chromosomal damage from GM gene spliced frankenproduce. Megacorps like Monsanto have only been playing God with your food for a few years now. Nobody knows the mortality rates or Cancer incidence that will crop up ten years from now. We all are now lab rats. .

UWI at 60 - Its role in nation building
The University of the West Indies officially begins its 60th anniversary celebrations today. Those 60 years were directed at producing a new Caribbean from out of the old. The next 60 years will have to be about producing a global Caribbean and happily the UWI has a strategic plan in place to equip it to do so. The UWI was a product of many things happening at once - modernisation, decolonisation, regionalisation, and nation building. One of the sins ofcolonialism was that for 300 years the British never saw it fit to build a university in the region. It was only after a series of riots in the 1930s that a British commission realised the need to promote a middle class in preparation for eventual self-government. Before adult suffrage, there was no university in Jamaica. By the start of the new century, almost 15 per cent of Jamaicans had access to tertiary education.
Granholm backs Cobo expansion
She said the proposed 120,000 square-foot expansion shows the region is fighting other states to retain the North American International Auto Show, an economic juggernaut held at Cobo that generates almost $600 million a year for the local economy. "We must have it stay in the city from here on out," Granholm said. "We will fight to keep it." The plan faces legislative hurdles, tax extensions and approval of several financial transactions in order to work. Barring roadblocks, construction could be finished and Cobo ready for the 2011 auto show, Assistant Wayne County Executive Matthew Schenk said. The one key player missing from Thursday's unveiling was long-time skeptic L. Brooks Patterson, the Oakland County executive who has offered rival expansion plans and questioned expenses and tax spending.
