| Hip-Hop Rumors: Jay-Z As Frank Lucas? Rockers Got Jokes...
This was the frech duo that bested Kanye last year for best video. Anyway, they won again. They were cracking jokes, seemingly expecting Ye to show up. I heard they said, “Kanye, where are you?" and other comments of that nature. Justice's new song beat ‘Ye's “Stronger."
On top of that, I heard my girl Kelly Rowland said a lil' slickness about Kanye. From what I understand, she was the presenter of the award and she joked, “This is for best video…not most expensive one. You know I'm talking to you Kanye!" WOW! I thought Kelly was nicer than that!

Local history: The rise of Eastgate
Akron developer Francis E. Rottmayer changed the way Summit County residents shopped in the early 1950s. On Canton Road in Ellet, he built Eastgate shopping center, the first such plaza in the county and one of the earliest in Ohio. ''My dad was kind of an innovator,'' daughter Susan Suthers said. ''He did things before other people did them.'' Born in Germany in 1904, Rottmayer emigrated with his family when he was a boy and had to learn a trade when he grew up. He started out as a handyman, going door to door with a toolbox and working small jobs. He learned carpentry, plumbing and drafting without any formal schooling. ''He could really do anything,'' Suthers said. ''He became a general contractor and then he became a developer.'' As president of Rottmayer Construction Co.

Interiors: Let there be light
Light is one of the most powerful elements of interior design, yet it is often the one aspect that people forget when renovating," says Sally. "There are so many effects to achieve, changes in texture, shadow and mood. Yet until you know how it works, people have no idea how a narrow-angle downlighter will dramatise a vase of roses, or how the soft, diffuse light of frosted-lens uplighters will flatter the complexions of guests at a dinner party." .
War in DRC Did Not End Today: 45,000 Die Per Month
This fifth and latest survey, covering the period from January 2006 to April 2007, aims to evaluate the current humanitarian situation in DR Congo by providing an update on mortality. Investigators used a three-stage cluster sampling technique to survey 14,000 households in 35 health zones across all 11 provinces, resulting in wider geographic coverage than any of the previous IRC surveys. The mortality rate (CMR) of 2.2 deaths per 1,000 per month is 57 percent higher than the average rate for sub-Saharan Africa. As OpEd News has consistently reported, 450,000 people have been displaced in the last six months of 2007. Georgianne Nienaber is an investigative environmental writer. She lives in rural northern Minnesota. Her articles have appeared in Rwanda's New Times, India's TerraGreen, COA News, ZNET, OpEdNews, The Journal of the International Primate Protection League, Africa Front, The United Nations Publication, A Civil Society Observer, and Zimbabwe's The Daily Mirror.

U.S. Airstrikes In Iraq Hit Al Qaeda 'Safe Havens'
It's the Third Infantry Division's assault against al Qaeda targets south of Baghdad, part of a nationwide U.S. offensive that began this week, Strassmann reports. The mighty barrage - recalling the Pentagon's "shock and awe" raids during the 2003 invasion - appeared to mark a significant escalation in a countrywide offensive launched this week to try to cripple remaining insurgent strongholds. But it also fits into the endgame strategy of last year's U.S. troop buildup, which seeks to regain control of Baghdad and surrounding areas as a buffer zone for the capital. U.S. commanders are now attempting to subdue the last insurgent footholds around Baghdad before the Pentagon faces a possible reduction in troop strength. Hours after the massive bombs fell, U.S. soldiers set foot in tough terrain outside Baghdad, an area where they haven't gone in a year.
Revelers turn out for return of 1920s-era green streetcars in New ...
Revelers dotted the oak-lined avenue _ some waving or holding up drinks, others, carrying signs that read "No More Bus" or "Welcome Back," or offering riders Mardi Gras beads or high-fives. Councilwoman Stacy Head called the streetcars part of the city's identity _ "everything from the noise, the clanging down the avenue to the lights at night." The St. Charles line was the oldest continuously operating line in the world before Katrina shut it down in August 2005. It began operation in September 1835. "It's what makes New Orleans feel like home," she said. "It's as important as red beans and rice and Mardi Gras, and it's hard to explain to people who aren't part of this city how important this is as an icon and a real-life form of transportation." Karen Miller grew up riding the streetcar and took it to work before Katrina.
