Mike Phelps hahaha
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Cereal and snack maker Kellogg Co. said it won't renew its sponsorhip contract with Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps because of a photo that showed him inhaling from a marijuana pipe. The Battle Creek, Mich.-based company said Thursday that Phelps's behavior — caught on camera and published Sunday in a British tabloid — is "not consistent with the image of Kellogg."
The company put Phelps on boxes of its Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes.
Phelps has kept the backing of many sponsors since the photo surfaced from a November house party at the University of South Carolina.
Phelps's agent was not immediately available to comment.
Kellogg says its contract with Phelps expires at the end of the month.

Kooley High highlights local hip hop scene
Hip Hop, along with mainstream music, has evolved over the years, guided by the music industry, which seeks to better capture the ears (and seemingly more importantly, wallets) of the masses. Each genre has its cookie-cutter track.
On the subject of Hip Hop's cookie-cutters, Charlie Smarts, an alumni who graduated in '06 in Marketing and one of the emcees from Kooley High, said, "Sometimes a lot of the songs on the radio gotta be super dancy. We've got a groove...I'm not hating, but I don't think they groove on the radio as much."
Ill Digitz, the DJ for Kooley High, added, "It's kind of like the artists you hear on the radio are doing it from a business standpoint. As soon as a business succeeds, people are going to emulate it. We're trying to make it our own way -- we don't want to follow."
The members of Kooley High came together through the student-run Hip Hop Organization (H2O) and is made up of three emcees (Charlie Smarts, Rapsody and Tab-One), two producers (Sinopsis and Foolery) and DJ Ill Digitz.
Smarts spoke about the groups mentality, saying, "You want people to like what you do. It hurts to flop, but it's about taking criticism. It's about coming together as Kooley High's sound. If you hear me rapping, you can bet somebody helped me on it."
Sinopsis then jeered, "He raps loud. You can tell how far the songs going to go by how fast he'll come with a hook. If Charlie gets a beat and it flops, that the end of the issue." He then elaborated on the shared work load.
"If you hate what I'm doing, you might like what Foolery does. It makes the work load a lot easier," Sinopsis said.
On Jan. 24, Kooley got the chance to show its groove with the debut of its new film, directed by fellow m.e.c.c.a. (Middle East Coast Carolina Always) member Napoleon Wright II at the Galaxy Cinema. The film, entitled One Day: Introducing Kooley High, gives spotlights to each of the members of the group, allowing them to open themselves up to the viewer. Spliced in between each close up are clips from the group's performance at The Pour House, which show the before, during and after of one of the band's sets.
The film will be put online Thursday on becauseus.org and Vimeo.org. The group hopes the viral nature of the Internet will help the band draw attention to the burgeoning Hip Hop scene in North Carolina.
"[The movie] was made with the idea of releasing it online. I don't think anyone has done something like this before, Wright said. "And I want the video to be claimed by the masses, for the people to say it's dope."
The debut sold out at the Galaxy, and Kooley has big hopes for what the online exposure will do.
Wright spoke about the points he wanted to get across in the movie.
"I wanted it to be where you are learning about everybody as people. I asked three questions: Why did you get into it, why do you keep doing it and what do you hope to happen with it. When I came to [the second question], everybody seemed to forget about the camera and started being real."
"Just from studying what's going on, nobody has really opened the door to their life. It's not us faking it till we make it," Foolery said.
Smarts added, "You see the struggle of coming up from the bottom. It's all about the music, love and camaraderie."
Make sure to hop online Thursday to check out the movie. Kooley High also has an E.P., The Summer Sessions E.P. available on Itunes and kooleyhigh.com. They also look to put out their debut album within the year, potentially this coming August.

Libra yet again this is me alllllllday
Libra | Positive: Romantic Congenial Sociable Charming Diplomatic | Libra is a cardinal air sign ruled by the planet Venus, the planet of love and beauty. Libra is the sign of marriage and partnerships. They are generally, intellectual, artistic, refined, diplomatic and indecisive. Since Libra is the sign of balance, Librans have the ability to see both sides of a situation, making them great mediators. (But also making it hard for them to make up their minds.) They have an executive and legal type mind. Many lawyers have planets in this sign. Libra is never lonely. Emotional, physical, and psychological pleasure comes to you from beauty in all its forms. Books, music, flowers, and perfume are typical delights. If your environment is less than pleasing, you can become unhappy without even realizing that your surroundings may be responsible for your despondency. |
Negative: Insincere Vain Indolent Frivolous Indecisive | ||
Symbol: The Scales Lucky Day: Friday Lucky Number: 9 Element: Air | Librans accomplish things because they intellectually evaluate what needs to be done, then they charm others into cooperating to achieve the goal. By unselfishly sharing the success of accomplishment with those who have assisted them, Librans nurture the cooperative efforts of others. They have to learn how to deal with confrontation. Their fear of hurting others and also of hostile situations can keep them from reaching their goals. In spite of your need to be liked, and reluctance to face confrontations, you are surprisingly strong-willed. You set out to accomplish your chosen goals and will find ways to succeed one way or another, usually by using your wit and charm. |
BlackBerry 8900
RIM really dropped the ball after launching the Bold with the shouldhaveneverbeenlaunched Storm. But I’m happy to say that they’ve come back into our good graces with the launch of the T-Mobile Curve II otherwise known as the 8900.
For all intents and purposes the 8900 is a baby Bold. It lacks 3G but makes up for it with UMA support, which means you can use it in a dead zone or take it overseas and not incur horrendous roaming fees. Simply having the ability to use Wi-Fi for the mobile’s signal is a huge plus for T-Mobile. The UMA connection allows the device to act exactly as it would with a cellular signal, including voice, BlackBerry data/email, web browsing, even SMS and BlackBerry messenger. This was one of the major reasons why I chose to stay with T-Mobile instead of jumping ship to AT&T for the Bold.

for allllll you Iphone fiends
Fancy listening to Backspin on your iPhone? Or maybe you’d like to hear the comedy stylings of Christian Jimmy on The Virus? Soon, friends. Soon. Supposedly. On the way to the App Store, the uSirius StarPlayr, an iPhone app that lets you listen to Sirius XM on your iPhone. Fancy that.
The application has been in development for some time, and the word over at Orbitcast is that it will be submitted to Apple for approval by January 31. Considering there’s no “boobs and booty” here, I can’t see the approval process lasting too long. It’s up to Apple.
So now CBS Radio and Pandora will have a little competition. The question now becomes, how long will radio, as a business, be around? (Three months.)
Yes, we’re a little late on this new; I blame the economy, which is a convenient escapegoat for all of life’s problems.
