<p>I am sadden that grown human beings can be so mean and cold hearted. Kids are not asked to be born here so if you don&#8217;t want them do something to not have them. I can not see what woman in her right mind would stand by and watch a man beat her child for six hours! I hope that bish fry in hell with him, how can you. A mother love is supposed to be pure as white. Yes my kids can piss me off to the ends however if my blood is boiling I have common sense to tell them to get out of my face. I have better sense than to strike my child when I am at a level of blacking out. I cannot see how we hurt our kids like this I just can&#8217;t. And how can you teach a boy how to be a man when you don&#8217;t know the first thing about being a man, this sicko beat his baby because he wouldn&#8217;t go to sleep foolish!!!<br />

A Texas man is in police custody after authorities say he beat his son for eight hours until he died because he would not fall asleep.</p>
<p>Police arrested 34-year-old Alex McGowen Duncan for the fatal beating of his son 6-year-old Tekerrious Jackson<strong> </strong>after police say he beat the boy for two weeks after he came to stay with him for the summer.</p>
<p>Houston police report that Duncan would force the child to get on his knees and raise his arms above his head before punching him in the chest.</p>
<p>On Friday at around 7 p.m. police believe Duncan saw the boy&#8217;s eyes flutter in the one-bedroom apartment he shared with his girlfriend 30-year-old Tammyra Sampson and her 11-year-old daughter.</p>
<p>The man reportedly became so enraged that he ordered the boy to raise his hands above his head and punched his chest repeatedly until 3 a.m. Saturday.</p>
<p>Duncan described the punishment to police as <strong>“chest boxing”</strong> and said his girlfriend only intervened to <strong>“show him”</strong>how to discipline the child with a belt.<br />
Both Sampson and her daughter witnessed the beating until the boy showed signs of having a seizure, was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead on arrival.</p>
<p>When the father was interviewed by police he told them he beat his son to teach him how to <strong>“man up.</strong></p>
<p>Police say Duncan also admitted to beating the 11-year-old girl but said <strong>“not as severely”</strong> because she was a girl.</p>
<p>The child has been taken into child protective custody while both Sampson and Duncan were arrested.</p>
<p>Sampson has been charged with injury to a child causing serious bodily injury by omission while Duncan has been charged with murder.</p>

<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;The first thing is go see a doctor, be checked to make sure you are medically alright.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>After several years of spreading a virus throughout the male gender, a prostitute has been captured, but the damage has been done as there are fears that 100s of men have been infected.</p>
<p>With a schedule of two clients a day, four days a week for several years, Nigaila Gibbs, 20, whom knowingly is HIV+, has left many in question to whether or not they have contracted it and are now positive.</p>
<p>Under the belief that many men have had sexual contact with the woman, her photo has been released serving as a heads up for those residing in St. Louis County, Missouri that a medical examination might be smart right about now.</p>
<p>Gibbs has been charged with prostitution while knowingly infected with HIV, which is a felony.<br />

<p>Please ladies be careful and mindful of this video, this scared the living crap out of me. A spy ware can be loaded to your phone and can track everything that you are doing. It can read your text messages and also listen in to all your conversation, this is very dangerous. This woman&#8217;s ex-boyfriend used this software to stalk her for 3 years.  Everything that she did he saw the camera on the phone can also be accessed to check live feed of what your are doing and who you are with. I mean if you have to do all this to a spouse then you don&#8217;t need them; but as little as 50 dollars your privacy can be invaded.</p>

<p>A 24-year-old man, Jermaine Ruiz, was charged in the deaths of Jessica Ybe, 22, and her 2-year-old and 5-year-old girls. Cops found their bodies yesterday in their East Flatbush apartment. Cops were prompted to the murder after Jermaine called his father in the Bronx and told him what he had done.</p>
<p>On the scene cops found Jessica Ybe partially wrapped in plastic bags and the children rolled in a carpet according to cops. Cops say Jermaine Ruiz was preparing to hide the bodies in a dumpster. After cops found the bodies he confessed to killing all three. Cops charged <a title="Jermaine Ruiz" href="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Jermaine+Ruiz">Jermaine Ruiz</a>, 24, in the deaths of <a title="Jessica Ybe" href="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Jessica+Ybe">Jessica Ybe</a>, 22, and her 2- and 5-year-old girls a day after finding the bodies in their<a title="East Flatbush" href="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/East+Flatbush">East Flatbush</a> apartment.</p>
<p>Ybe was partially wrapped in plastic bags and the children were rolled in a carpet, cops said. Ruiz, 24, was preparing to hide the bodies in a Dumpster.</p>
<p>He confessed to killing all three, cops said.</p>
<p>A neighbor told the Daily News that Ruiz had asked the super Thursday where to find a Dumpster that would hold a large amount of trash.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s heavy and it will smell,&#8221; Ruiz said, according to the neighbor. Police, who are still searching for the murder weapon, said the crime scene was grisly.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m all for redemption, I believe we all make mistakes and need to be forgiven for something. I for one wish we can t to let Mike Vick be great, I want all brothers to learn for his mistake. Once you became who you are trying to be you have to let the people who don&#8217;t mean you well out of your life. Being loyal to the block will get you in you in to trouble because if you didn&#8217;t know the block doesn&#8217;t love nobody and that&#8217;s real talk. “The Michael Vick Project” kicks off Feb. 2nd on BET at 10pm. Check out the promo:</p>

<p>I&#8217;m a sitting here listening to the new music from these ladies and it left me wondering &#8220;is this the end?&#8221; I mean I remember back in the day we had, Mc Lyte, Yo-Yo, Monnie Love, Queen Latifah, Salt N Pepa I could go on; they were all great female rappers. What I liked the most, they all look different and had different styles, but lets move to the 90&#8243;s when Lil Kim busted on the scene, Foxy Brown, Eve, The Lady Of Rage was rocking ruff and tuff with her afro puffs. I mean we had great music Trina was the baddest and Rah Digga ran the flip mode not to mention Remy ma was so conceited. What happen to the music I am lost here?</p>

<p>The Stars join forces yesterday on the Oprah Show to preform to raise money for Haiti, as we all know a devastating earthquake has shaken Haiti leaving massive amount of people dead and homeless. Wyclef made an appearance on Oprah and talk about the devastation in Haiti. In the clip below, he cries as he recalls hearing the Haitians still singing at night despite what they were going through. Wyclef also described Haiti as “a 7th hell” and said that walking into the city is like walking into a morque. He told Oprah that the Haitian people wanted the media to “Stop with the photo ops” and he believes the people are being treated like animals.</p>

<p>Tuesday, an earthquake that registered a 7.0 (out of 8) <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/01/13/haiti.earthquake/index.html" target="_blank">shook and destroyed </a>the country of Haiti.  And several after-shocks that registered at almost the 6 level. After barely repairing itself after the 4 hurricanes of 2008, political unrest, and the fact that the country is the poorest in the entire western hemisphere, this earthquake is one of the worst things that could have happened to Haiti.</p>
<p>I went to sleep with a heavy heart last night after watching all of the horrific images and tales and destruction on tv.  It brought back memories of my own experiences during Hurricane Katrina.  I know first hand how horrific and impossible of a situation that was, and the US is not even a third world country.  So I can’t even imagine the aftermath of this natural disaster in Haiti.</p>
<p>Unimaginable numbers of people have been and will be pronounced dead over the coming weeks.  It will likely be worse than genocide.  There are no resources as there were barely any to begin with.  People’s cell phones will eventually die, there is no working hospital in the epicenter of the country, phones and internet and, of course, tv signals are un-repairable, the infrastructure is now nonexistent as their presidential palace and UN Headquarters are now in ruins, and there are 9.7 million living  in the country that is the size of Maryland. Where will people get food, water, aid, etc in the next coming days when relief organizations can barely get a connection to the country?</p>
<p>HELP NOW. <strong>Wyclef Jean </strong>spoke on CNN and other channels yesterday about his foundation Yele Haiti. Text “Yele” to 501501 on your phone and it will automatically charge $5 to your phone bill and will donate to it to this organization that will serve as a relief org for this disaster.</p>
<p>The American Red Cross is accepting donations as they have already pledged an initial $200,000 toward relief efforts.</p>

<p>At the tender age of 59, legendary R&amp;B crooner Teddy Pendergrass passed away in Philadelphia Wednesday night.  He has been ill for some time, as well as confined to a wheelchair as a quadriplegic after a horrific car accident in 1982.  Karu Daniels at <a href="http://www.bvnewswire.com/2010/01/13/teddy-pendergrass-dead-at-59/" target="_blank">Black Voices</a> reports:</p>
<blockquote><p>A close family friend confirmed to the BV Newswire that the ailing crooner died tonight.</p>
<p>The cause of death is unknown and details are pending.<br />
Last summer, buzz started brewing that the ‘Love T.K.O.’ singer was on his deathbed.</p>
<p>At the time, the Grammy Award-nominated singer-songwriter was hospitalized at Philadelphia’s Bryn Mawr Hospital for about a month, and the nature of his illness was not publicly known. He and his new wife, Joan, addressed the rumors and expressed gratitude to his loyal legion of fans for their support.</p>
<p>“I wish to thank my fans for their prayers, concerns and love,” Pendergrass disclosed in a statement. “While I have faced recent health challenges, I am in the care of my wonderful doctors, wife Joan and family.”</p>
<p>“We ask at this time that you respect our privacy,” the statement continued. “Do know that I’m looking forward to continuing my work at the Teddy Pendergrass Alliance to help people with spinal cord injuries.”</p></blockquote>

<p><strong>Jay-Z, Trey Songz &amp; Young Jeezy</strong> on tour together? Ed Lover &amp; Malikha Mallette talk to the superstars about how they got together for this worldwide tour and pick their brains about everything from music &amp; sports to jokes &amp; lyrics!  Check the interview out <a href="http://www.power1051fm.com/cc-common/mediaplayer/player.html?redir=yes&amp;mps=edlovershow.php&amp;mid=http://a1135.g.akamai.net/f/1135/18227/1h/cchannel.download.akamai.com/18227/podcast/NEWYORK-NY/WWPR-FM/ELS%20-%20Track%2002%20-%20Jay,%20Trey%20?CCOMRRMID&amp;CPROG=RICHMEDIA&amp;MARKET=NEWYORK-NY&amp;NG_FORMAT=urban&amp;NG_ID=WWPR1051FM&amp;OR_NEWSFORMAT=&amp;OWNER=&amp;SERVER_NAME=www.power1051fm.com&amp;SITE_ID=2086&amp;STATION_ID=WWPR-FM&amp;TRAC#">here</a> Jay-Z also talked about people saying he worships the devil earlier today, with Angie Martinez of Hot 97  and part of a secret society:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I don’t know where it started. I don’t know where it came from. I really think it’s really silly. For the record, I of course believe in God, but I believe in one God. If people must know my religious beliefs, I believe in one God. I don’t believe in religion. I don’t believe in Christians or Muslims. I think all that separates people. I think it’s one God. I think it’s all the same God, and I don’t believe in Hell. But as far as God, of course I believe in God. Am I a part of some sect or cult? That sounds stupid to me. It’s like ignorant to even say, and umm… I guess that’ll be the last time I address that. It’s ignorant to me”</p>
<p>I can’t even get in a golf club in Palm Springs. I’m from Marcy Projects. Just think about that? People that control the world?</p>
<p><strong>Do you believe that those sort of organizations exist?</strong><br />
I think there are cliques of friends that control things. I don’t if there is a devil worshipping sect. That’s a little Tom hanks. I believe there are cliques of people that control the world…but that’s just natural process. I’m sure Obama has his people and everything is good but as far as how far people are taking it…</p>
<p><strong>So you don’t intentionally do this to put people in a frenzy?</strong><br />
I’m an entertainer at the end of the day. Maybe I’ll push your buttons but you know…</p></blockquote>
