CNN: Black in America

On Wednesday July 23 at 9pm and Thursday July 24 at 9pm, CNN will premier a series, 'Black in America with Soledad O'Brien' and I personally
challenge you to watch it WITH your children, especially your sons, if
you have any, uninterrupted.

On Wednesday the series will focus on Women and Families and Thursday is
dedicated entirely to the plight of the Black Man in America.

Sleeping at work -- more of us are doing it


Story Highlights
Survey: One-third of workers reported falling asleep on the job

Some companies offer workers a nap room or free fruit

Tired workers cost $100 billion in lost productivity, health care costs, absenteeism

To sleep better, have before-bed routine, cool bedroom, avoid caffeine after lunch

My take: I know that I have caught a z or two at work, but not the mouth-open-snoring-almost fall out the chair somebody save me-type sleep in the picture. At a previous job, a co-worker and I would alternate (lunch breaks) naps in the lobby. Then there was the occasional car nap with the cell phone alarm. All else fails, go outside (hot or cold) and let the weather wake you up.

Wake Up ... Tuesday May 13th, 2008

China death toll climbs over 12k
With the rise of recent earthquakes, how prepared are you for an earthquake? Hell, I slept right through the last one.

Lebron tops CeltsWhy can't the Celtics play on the road? Do they need to sleep in their own beds at night to come ready to play? Last five road games look like this:

Quarter by Quarter scoring and total.
BOS 32 18 32 18 100
ATL 20 29 30 24 103
Lose by 3, Dominated out of breaks, shut down in 2nd and 4th.

BOS 24 24 27 17 92
ATL 29 22 14 32 97
Lose by 5, Dominated out of halftime, blown out in 4th. Did I mention Joe Johnson scored everytime he touched the ball.

BOS 26 30 18 19 93
ATL 32 24 28 18 102
Never got it going. No chance with that crowd behind them. First time Celts didnt win the 3rd quarter on road.

BOS 13 22 28 21 84
CLE 32 20 27 29 108
13 points in 1st quarter? Enough said. Bright side, first time scored over 20 point in 4th quarter on road. Who cares if it was 2nd string.

BOS 21 22 22 12 77
CLE 23 22 23 20 88
Fairly close game, actually led in 4th. But only two points in the last 2:55 of the game.

This team has "veteran" leadership and 3 perennial all-stars and can't muster up enough 4th quarter points to beat someone out of the Bonner league. Has father time caught up to the Boston Three Party? I doubt it but they better not go seven games with King James. Might be a replay of this.

RKelly finally goes to trial
To see the alledged crime at hand, I have obtained exclusive footage that the grand jury will be shown as evidence of the heinous acts Mr. Kelly has done to wrong our youth. Part 1. Part 2. And the most gruesome of them all, Part 3.

In all seriousness about Kellz, his former publicist daughter? Check out Kellz taking jello shots.

Suge Knight - Welcome to Death RowAccording to TMZ, the former Death Row head honcho was laid out for three minutes. Cue Chris Tucker or Dae Dae. Now if he justs tells us the truth about Tupac, all will be fair and equal.

This is a sexy phone. This one too.

Parents
Please do not let your daughters wear this out the house, let alone prom.
