| Hip-Hop Rumors: The Game's New Mixtape, Kanye Loves Kanye, Tank Gets ...
You remember back in the day, I heard that The Game and his brother Big Fase 100 are back on good terms again. I hope it to be true. Brothers don't need to fight – they are all they got! Anyway, I didn't confirm/deny the rumor, but I heard something that supports it. I heard that The Game and his brother are working out a new mixtape venture that bigs up the West Coast. So, I know Game is in jail right now, but maybe the vocals were dropped before and then Fase will get it mixed and mastered?
What happened to all the happy (Young MC)/weird (Pharcyde)/ and conscious (Def Jef) rappers from the West Coast! Send me some artists that don't use a gun to get their point across! ahhrumors@gmail.com.
COMMON COMMENTS ON KANYE…
We all saw the slick lil' comment Kanye made about Common at the Grammys.
Erosion-control holdouts being sought for project
In the Lake Tahoe Basin, the letters "BMP" can bring about various reactions.
Short for "best management practices," BMPs are methods prescribed by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency to help developed properties function more like natural, undisturbed forest and meadowland. The TRPA believes that water conveyed to a lake by an undisturbed watershed usually is quite pure, because the watershed's soils and plants act as a natural water-purification system.
BMPs prescribed for residential properties usually fall into the following categories: vegetating and mulching bare, disturbed soils; infiltrating stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces; paving dirt driveways and roads; and stabilizing or retaining steep slopes and loose soils.
But for some of the 38,000 property owners in the basin who have not retrofitted their land for BMPs, the requirements can be harsh and expensive.
Street jury says it is deadlocked on 7 charges
Milton Street as tax resister. After deliberating about 50 minutes yesterday, the jury was back with more questions, this time on the mail- and wire-fraud counts against Street and Velardi. The jury wanted Davis to review again the legal definition of scheme, and whether it could base its verdicts on the brief summaries following each count on the verdict sheet, or the entire text of the 25-page indictment. The jury also asked for help reconciling what appeared to be a typographical error in the dates on two letters introduced into evidence during the five-day trial. The judge defined scheme as a "plan to commit a particular type of fraud. Davis said prosecutors did not have to prove every detail of the allegations in the indictment.
The Other Women to Watch
Grain prices have reached record highs and oil prices are flirting with $100 a barrel. At first blush, this could seem daunting, but Ms. Woertz sees opportunity. The high oil prices mean the world is more conscious about energy security, Ms. Woertz says. That translates into greater demand for corn-based ethanol and soy-based biodiesel -- both key products that ADM makes. And while the higher grain prices have cut into biofuel's profitability, it has prompted farmers to plant more acreage, which means more grain to handle and ship across the Corn Belt and overseas. But with more mouths to feed as the population grows, there are growing worries about the long-term sustainability of farming for fuel instead of food. Ms. Woertz envisions expanding ADM's biofuels production beyond corn and beans.
