So we read a story just a few minutes ago about a 15 year old girl who has a blog post and asking for help to complete her bucket list...well she is now getting the attention of the world. check it out right HERE
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for
survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:
FIRST
Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself
out of t he coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an
emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to
establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number
112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.
SECOND
Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.
Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and
the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone
from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car
door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding
it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves
someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object.
You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who
has the other âremoteâ for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the
trunk).
Editorâs Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car
over a cell phone!â
THIRD
Hidden Battery
Power
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys
*3370# Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will
show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you
charge your cell next time.
FOURTH
How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phoneâs serial number, key in the following digits
on your phone: * # 0 6 # A 15 digit code will appear on the screen.
This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it
somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service
provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block
your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will
be totally useless. btw here is a free coke rewards code knrxz nzlmh
kj9mv â anyways on to your phone, you probably wonât get your phone back,
but at least you know that whoever stole it canât use/sell it either. If
everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile
phones.
And Finallyâ¦.
FIFTH
Free Directory Service for Cells
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411
information calls when they donât have to. Most of us do not carry a
telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even
more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option,
simply dial: (800) FREE 411, or (800) 373-3411 without incurring any
charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.
This is the kind of information people donât mind receiving, so pass it
on to your family and friends.
Remember when young Greyson Chance did his cover of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" and got over 40 million views (and a record deal)? Well move over Greyson, you've got competition! This is 10 year old Maria Aragon performing Gaga's latest, "Born This Way" and it's DAMN GOOD!
After watching it herself, the Lady of Gaga tweeted, "I can't stop crying watching this. This is why I make music."Â After only 2 days, she is over a million views, and I'm sure an appearance on Ellen is around the corner!

The Best Months to Buy Things in 2011:
You can save a lot of money if you buy things when they're off-season. So if you're planning a big purchase, you might want to hold off for a few months. Here are the best things to buy throughout the year . . .
This month Is a Good Time to Buy . . . Bikes and sporting goods because retailers have to bring in new inventory and slash prices on old stuff.
--And it's also a good month to buy an air conditioner, because NO ONE is buying an air conditioner this month.
February Is a Good Month to Buy . . . Digital cameras, because most of the big electronics trade shows will be over by then. That means all the new models will be available in stores, and the old models will cost less.
--Chocolate is also cheaper after February 14th . . . for obvious reasons.
March Is a Good Month to Buy . . . Winter clothing, because winter is almost over. And luggage, because it's not a popular time of year for traveling.
--Boat show season also ends in March, so if you're in the market for a YACHT, wait a few months.
April is a Good Month to Buy . . . Car parts and sneakers. And vacuum cleaners go on sale because the new models arrive in June.
May is a Good Month to Buy . . . Patio furniture and party supplies. And cookware goes on sale because of all the upcoming graduations and weddings.
June is a Good Month to Buy . . . Gym memberships, because the weather is nice. It's also a good month to buy tools and men's suits, which both go on sale for Father's Day.
--April, May, and June are also good months to find sale prices on TVs that are manufactured in Japan, because the fiscal year for most Japanese companies ends in March.
July Is a Good Month to Buy . . . Furniture, because stores start trying to push their old inventory.
August Is a Good Month to Buy . . . Camping equipment, because it takes up a lot of space, and stores won't have room for it during the holidays.
--And laptops, which go on sale in August because that's when recent high school graduates are about to leave for college.
September Is a Good Month to Buy . . . Cars, because you can still find last year's model on the lot, but it'll be a lot cheaper than earlier in the year.
October Is a Good Month to Buy . . . Jeans, because there's always a lot of leftover inventory from the back-to-school sales.
November Is a Good Month to Buy . . . A new TV, because there are good sales leading up to Christmas, and the technology isn't outdated yet.
And December Is a Good Month to Buy . . . Anything wedding-related, which is convenient if you're going home for the holidays and want to do some wedding planning with your mom.

Texas High School Kicks Cheerleader Off Squad For Refusing To Cheer For Her Rapist
Silsbee High School in Texas wants their cheerleaders smiling, energetic, and willing to cheer for their rapists by name. Go team!H.S., a Silsbee student, reported being raped by Rakheem Bolton with the help of two of his friends, a fellow student and athletic star. In the end, Bolton ended up getting off without serving any jail time by pleading guilty to a lesser assault charge, spending two years on probation, doing community service, paying a fine, and attending anger management courses. Hardly seems like an adequate punishment, but it's unfortunately not uncommon for attackers to bargain down their charges. What really gets the blood boiling is how the students' high school treated the victim.
Bolton was set to be on the school's varsity basketball team, and they couldn't risk losing by barring him from playing for a silly thing like a rape charge. That could impact their chances at winning. Who cares about the traumatic impact it would have an a cheerleader who needed to vocally support a team including her rapist?
But H.S. fulfilled her role as a cheerleader, participating in all the cheers for the team as a group. She simply refused to shout the first name of the man who assaulted her when he stood up alone to make free throws. It seems like she was being more than accommodating, when an student athlete facing trial on rape charges most likely should have been suspended from the team, even if his presence wasn't a source of immediate distress to his victim in her position as cheerleader. In a display of extreme disrespect for a rape survivor and disregard for her well-being, school officials insisted that H.S. had to scream "Rakheem" with the rest of the cheerleaders, or she'd be kicked off the squad.
H.S.âs parents sued the school for violating her right to free speech, but an appeals court dismissed her case earlier this month. The bizarre reasoning: âIn her capacity as cheerleader, [she] served as a mouthpiece through which the school could disseminate speechânamely, support for its athletic teams.â Not cheering for Bolton âconstituted substantial interference with the work of the school because, as a cheerleader, [she] was at the basketball game for the purpose of cheering, a position she undertook voluntarily.â In other words, the âwork of the schoolâ is basketball, and H.S. was obligated to put on a robotic smile and cheer for the man who had assaulted her. Silsbee High School officials should be held accountable for their actions. Richard Bain, Jr., the superintendent of schools, allegedly ordered H.S. to cheer for her attacker. Why donât you tell him what you think? Hereâs his contact information: Richard Bain Jr., Superintendent, Silsbee Independent School District, 415 Highway 327 West, Silsbee, TX, 77656; rbain@silsbeeisd.org
And you can contact the schoolâs new principal, Eldon Franco, to demand that H.S. be reinstated on the squad: Eldon Franco, Principal, Silsbee High School, 1575 Highway 96 North, Silsbee, TX, 77656-4799; efranco@silsbeeisd.org
A cinematographer from Brooklyn did a cool thing with his son, a weather balloon, and an iPhone. He and his son did a cool science experiment: they attached his iPhone to a weather balloon and let it soar up 100,000 feet into the stratosphere! When the balloon popped, the iPhone returned to Earth, attached to a parachute! Because the phone had GPS, they had NO problem finding it, and seeing the incredible footage you're about to watch!
An environmental group called 10:10 posted a graphic ad on their website last week called "No Pressure", then they immediately took it down. And when you see the ad, you'll understand why.
The group is trying to get people to cut their carbon emissions by 10%, and the ad starts with a teacher asking students if they're interested in doing it. But then when two kids say no, the teacher pushes a button and they EXPLODE.
And I don't mean they go up in smoke or disintegrate. They actually explode, and their blood goes all over the other kids.
Then the rest of the ad is more of the same. A boss blows up his unmotivated employees, a soccer coach blows up a former player, and an audio engineer blows up the woman doing the voiceover . . . GILLIAN ANDERSON from "The X-Files".
Oh, and by the way . . . the guy who wrote the commercial also wrote the screenplay for "Bridget Jones's Diary".
Watch this (if you dare, it's GROSS) and leave us a comment. What do YOU THINK? Is it too graphic, or does it make the point better because it gets your attention? LEAVE A COMMENT!
WARNING: THIS IS VERY GRAPHIC (AND FRANKLY, KINDAÂ GROSS)
A new haunted house opens its doors tomorrow evening to visitors â and objections from the mental health and historical communities. Pennhurst Mental Hospital in Chester County Pennsylvania will host thrillseekers hunting ghosts. In the not-too-distant past it also housed patients who suffered real pain, and are still alive.
The website for the Pennhurst Asylum bills the haunted hospital as a "world class Haunted Attraction guaranteed to drive you crazy."
But to some, it's a slap in the face to those who suffered abuses there. The institution closed in the 1980s after numerous complaints of residents being beaten, drugged or neglected. James Jordan is the executive director the Pennsylvania chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
Jordan: Using this location, even though the intent is positive, helps to reinforce stigma and it brings back some very painful and difficult memories for people who were there or had family members who were there.
Konopelski: We have to understand that we in the haunt industry are here to entertain people.
Patrick Konopelski is the president of the International Association of Haunted Attractions. He runs Shocktoberfest in Reading, which features frights such as a biohazard hay ride and a toxic asylum. He admits the subjects are politically incorrect. But historic haunts, such as Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia and Pennhurst have made a point to use their Halloween appeal to educate visitors.
Konopelski: What they have successfully done is taken a property that was deteriorating and turned it into a successful museum and haunted attraction and with that revenue they continue to invest and upgrade the property.
Seth Bruggeman doesn't buy it.
Bruggeman: That may be the case in some regard but I can't imagine that too many people who come to the haunted house come back the next day to go on the historic tour because they're that much more interested.
Bruggeman teaches history and American studies at Temple University. He understands the appeal to bring in revenue, but he says highlighting the haunted legacy of historic sites distorts their true significance.
Congrats to that HOT guy in the middle!!

This Is By Matt Kirsch a lead audio engineer at General Motors
A 29-year-old Portland man is accused of robbing a Tualatin bank with threats of carrying a bomb.
Investigators looked over surveillance photos of Tuesday's robbery at Key Bank, at 7152 SW Hazelfern Road, and found a man with large horn-rimmed glasses and a striped shirt.
He looked enough like the character in the Where's Waldo cartoons that the FBI dubbed him the Where's Waldo Bandit.
Investigators say their suspect is Ryan M. Homsley, who was charged in Portland's U.S. District Court today with one count of bank robbery.
During the robbery, the suspect threatened that he had an explosive device and left a small box behind as he departed.
A bomb squad examined the box and a backpack believed to belong to Homsley and determined that neither held explosives, the FBI reported.
Investigators are asking anyone with information about Homsley's whereabouts to phone them. The FBI can be reached at 503-224-4181, Tigard police at 503-639-6168, and Tualatin police at 503-691-4800.
The Oregon Financial Institutions Security Task Force has offered up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the bank robbery.

WANNA BE A REALITY TV STAR? âMARRIED BY 30â IS CASTING DESPERATE BRIDES
Not content with women marrying men they barely know (âThe Bachelorâ), or have never met (âWho Wants To Marry A Millionaire?â), the Reality TV gods bring us âMarried By 30,â about the worldâs most desperate/pathetic women and gay men who HAVE to marry by the big Three-Oh. âMarried By 30â is currently casting 26- to 28-year-olds who are âpart of the New York social scene and preferably spend summers in the Hamptonsâ to pick a wedding date and let cameras follow them for one year while they plan The Big Day. Because making a legally-binding contract to another person before some arbitrary, yet culturally significant, birthday is an awesome idea.
Considering the company casting the show is College Humor, weâre hoping this is one big joke. But, on the chance that âMarried By 30â will seriously be shown on a âpremier, upscale cable network,â I think we now know who wonât be âpart of the New York social sceneâ anymore.
Details on the Show
Do YOU know someone who should get a home makeover? Then READ THIS:
Thanks for taking the time to speak with me. Here is some helpful information that you can pass on to your community contacts.
My name is Lindsay Spaulding, and Iâm a Casting Producer for ABCâs Emmy award winning TV series "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." We are in the process of finding families who are deserving and in need of a new home for our next season of the show, and we want to move that bus to NORFOLK, VA!
We are looking for inspirational families that America can really root for. Because you are so plugged into the community, you might be able to help us reach those local heroes who need our help, or others in the community who can bring those families to our attention. It would be great if you could post a bulletin on your website, or include our information in your newsletter, and forward this information on to anyone you see fit.
We're looking for inspirational members of the community who, for whatever reason, need a new home. While we know that there are so many families in need all over this country, we want to focus on people that have given back in some way despite their personal hardships. Some examples from past episodes include The Bliven family of Minot, ND who started a little league baseball program for children with special needs. And in Indiana, Shawna Farina heads up the local Relay For Life cancer walk for life in honor of her mother's struggle with the disease and, in an ironic twist of fate, now battles breast cancer herself. Some of our episodes have focused on people who have been inspirational within their own family. Amy Hawkins of Hendersonville, TN was left paralyzed after she threw her body over her 2 sons as a tornado ripped apart their home. As you can see, our definition of deserving can be fairly broad.
Attached, is our show flyer, which details what we are looking for and how people can submit their materials to us. Any assistance you can offer in getting the word out to volunteer, service, and community-building organizations would be deeply appreciated. All nominations should be sent to VirginiaCasting@gmail.com
To be eligible, a family must own their own single family home or at least property on which a home can be built. Plus, they must be able to show producers how a makeover will make a huge difference in their lives. Nominations must include the names and ages of each member of the household along with a description of the major challenges within the home. Please also include contact information of the family. If possible, we would also love to see pictures of the family and their home.
The deadline for family nominations is April 19, 2010. But, the sooner we find some deserving families, the better!
Thanks again! And please feel free to contact me directly with any questions.

6 THINGS THAT GUYS DO THAT WOMEN HATE
Womanâs Day recently published an article on 10 things women do that turn men off, which included things like âsecond-guessing our instincts,â and âRSVPing for them.â The male author explains in his intro, âDonât think of this list as the 10 things we dislike about you. Think of it more as the 10 things that will bring us closer together â¦by you not doing them.â OK, fine, whatever. But how about things guys do that turn women off? Cuz you know the list is loooong! Hereâs a shortened list though â 6 things that women would love for men to stop doing (in the interest of being closer, of course):
1. Unoriginal romantic gestures (i.e., red roses for Valentineâs Day). Sure, itâs the thought that counts, but when your romantic gestures show you havenât actually put that much thought into them, what is it that women are supposed to be appreciating? That youâre going through the motions? That youâre doing what you think is expected of you? That youâre trying to stay out of the doghouse? Do something a little special and unique that a woman is bound to remember and brag about to her friends. Women arenât talking over-the-top gestures here. Even a handmade card or a silly poem you wrote yourself can knock her socks (among other things) off.
2. Mocking our reality TV habit. Women watch âThe Bachelorâ every week. So what? Itâs an hour of âherâ time. If you canât stand watching along, (really though, you might find it entertaining if you gave it a shot), surely thereâs something you can do for 60 minutes while she indulges in her guilty pleasure, right? I mean, donât you have a fantasy football team to put together or something?
3. Ordering for us. There may be three little words sheâs dying to hear you say, but trust me, they arenât: âAnd sheâll haveâ¦.â Women can think for themselves, so let them order for themselves, too. You can show off your manliness in much sexier ways.
4. Acting like a f**king baby when youâre sick. She gets it, you donât feel good. Youâve got a headache, a stomach ache, and scary case of the chills. Itâs called the flu and it happens to all of us. Sheâs happy to make you some chicken noodle soup or maybe pick up some medicine at the drugstore on her way home from work, but sheâs not your mother â donât expect her to rub your belly or take your temperature. And quit whining so much â itâs unbecoming.
5. Asking us out on a date and then suggesting we go dutch when the check comes. Truthfully, she doesnât expect you to pay every time. If youâve been out a few times or sheâs the one who did the inviting, sheâs happy to cover the check or at least split it down the middle. But if itâs a first or second date and youâve asked her out, itâs major points against you if youâre letting her pay. It may be 2010, but some traditional acts of chivalry not only go a long way, theyâre simply expected.
6. Not having a plan. Itâs not that youâre going to necessarily get dumped if you donât have some plans up your sleeve for a great night out, but almost nothing makes her lady parts dry up faster than a guy who says, âUh, so, um, what do you feel like doing?â without having any suggestions lined up. Take some initiative! Saying, âI read a review in âTime Outâ last week of a new Indian place on Main Street that sounded great. Do you like Indian?â is a great way to show youâre putting some thought into it.
Look at these 2 pictures, and ask yourself: if they were dating, could SHE do better than THIS GUY? Or is it the other way around? Could HE do better than HER?
Â
How'd ya like to VOTE ON IT? Now you can! Thanks to the new website:
You can even upload pics of YOU and YOUR significant other and let the world decide: could YOU do better?

SECRET SHOE STORE HIDDEN BEHIND A CONVENIENT STORE â ENTER THROUGH THE SNAPPLE VENDING MACHINE
Everyone knows that the hottest businesses are the ones that are impossible to find, because theyâre just so highly sought after they have to be discreet. Weâve heard about hidden sushi restaurants that are all the rage, and now thereâs a shoe store thatâs following suit in an even more unique way.
Bodega is a Boston sneaker store which people truly wouldnât be able to find despite their best efforts because itâs hidden under the guise of a convenience store. Shoppers need to enter, and find the Snapple vending machine on one of the walls, and then they have the ability to go underground and shop at the exclusive shoe boutique. If youâre up for a shopping trip turned scavenger hunt, then Bodegaâs the place to visit!

A Bollywood filmmaker has issued a lucrative challenge to horror movie fans: a $10,850 reward for anyone who can watch his latest supernatural thriller, alone, in a cinema until the closing credits.
Ram Gopal Varmaâs âPhoonk 2,â a sequel to his 2008 film of the same name, is about an evil spirit that traumatizes a family. âAnyone who says the movie cannot scare him is going to be put in a theater by himself,â Varma told reporters in Mumbai at an event to promote the movie.
Varma said the film fan who steps up to the challenge will be wired up to a heart monitoring machine as well as a camera that ensures they keep their eyes open during the whole movie. Readings from the machines will be shown live on a screen outside the cinema, Varma said, and if the contestant succeeds, they will win 500,000 rupees (approximately $10,850).
Varma issued a similar challenge ahead of the release of the original âPhoonkâ but the promotional contest was withdrawn after allegations the selection process was rigged. Varma said the contest winner ran out 30 minutes after the film started, but newspaper reports said a film fan in the southern Indian city of Bangalore booked an entire cinema to prove the director wrong and watched the film alone with a doctor on call and security personnel stationed outside. More on the offer in the link below, as well as the movieâs tralier.

A dazed boy's musings after a trip to the dentist's office had a good run.
But even with foggy pronouncements like "I have two fingers," he was no match for Britain's talented Susan Boyle.
Boyle's surprising vocal performance on "Britain's Got Talent" was far and away the most-watched video of the year on YouTube -- racking up more than 120 million views, according to the site.
"David After Dentist," filmed by the boy's father as he was clearly still loopy from medication, was a distant second with about 37 million views.
This year is the first time YouTube has released a year-end list. On its blog, YouTube called 2009 "the biggest year yet" for online video.
An eight-year-old second grader was recently suspended from school in Taunton, Massachusetts and required to undergo a psychiatric evaluation for drawing a picture of Jesus Christ on the cross. The boy's father, who was told the child had created a violent drawing, tells the "Taunton Gazette" he is "outraged." The boy drew the stick figure picture shortly after a visit to the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette.
 The father, who asked for anonymity to protect his son, says the drawing was the result of a request from his teacher who asked the class to draw something that reminded them of Christmas.
He says the child was traumatized by the incident and he believes the boy's religious beliefs were violated.
The boy was evaluated and cleared to return to school.
School department administrators have declined to comment citing confidentiality concerns.

An Australian beer ad has taken some creative license on a classic fairy tale by depicting a sexed-up--and inebriated--Snow White in the sack with all seven dwarves. She's smoking a (post-coital? ew) cigarette while the dwarves display their respective emotions. The company calls it "Ho White and the Seven Dwarves" and renames Sleepy, Happy and Doc to Filthy, Smarmy and Randy.
What does this have to do with liquor? The tagline for the beer is "anything but sweet," and I guess this fits the bill. But still...did anyone really want this image seared into their brains? What if kids see it?
Although Disney doesn't own exclusive rights to the original fairy tale, of course, the beer company has reportedly been reprimanded from Disney for the ad.

WASHINGTON - When Elaine Cioni found out that her married boyfriend had other girlfriends, she became obsessed, federal prosecutors say. So she turned to YourHackerz.com.
And for only $100, YourHackerz.com provided Cioni, then living in Northern Virginia, with the password to her boyfriend's AOL e-mail account, court records show. For another $100, she got her boyfriend's wife's e-mail password. And then the passwords of at least one other girlfriend and the boyfriend's two children. None had any clue what Cioni was doing, they would later testify.
Cioni, however, went further and began making harassing phone calls to her boyfriend and his family, using a "spoofing" service to disguise her voice as a man's. This attracted the attention of federal authorities, who prosecuted Cioni, 53, in Alexandria last year for unauthorized access to computers, among other crimes. She was convicted and is serving a 15-month sentence.
But such services as YourHackerz.com are still active and plentiful, with clever names like "piratecrackers.com" and "hackmail.net." They boast of having little trouble hacking into such Web-based e-mail systems as AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Facebook and Hotmail, and they advertise openly.
And, experts said, there doesn't appear to be much anyone can do about it.
"This is an important point that people haven't grasped," said Peter Eckersley, a staff technologist for the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco. "We've been using e-mail for years, and it's been insecure all that time. . . . If you have any hacker who is competent and spends the time and targets you, he's going to get you."
Fans who want to try out T-Pain's "shawty snappin' " pickup lines can now employ the same studio wizardry that creates his robotic vocal effects.
Despite grumblings within the music industry that use of the technology has gotten out of control â "Good riddance," Jay-Z raps on his new D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)â T-Pain is nonetheless putting it in fans' hands with his just-out I Am T-Pain application for iPhones. The app lets people emulate the singer by creating their own songs and uploading them to MySpace and Facebook.
"You can actually be T-Pain, which already is the most awesome thing in the world," he says, laughing. "You can become a singer just like everybody else and basically be the life of the party."
For those of you wondering...just what IS the President going to say to the students of America in his big speech on the first day of school, HERE IT IS, IN ITS ENTIRETY:
Here are prepared remarks that President Obama is to deliver at noon ET Tuesday a
Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia.
Source: The White House
Hello everyone â howâs everybody doing today? Iâm here with students at Wakefield
High School in Arlington, Virginia. And weâve got students tuning in from all across
America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. Iâm glad you all could join us today.
I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in
kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, itâs your first day in a new school, so itâs
understandable if youâre a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who
are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what
grade youâre in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you couldâve
stayed in bed just a little longer this morning.
I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and
my mother didnât have the money to send me where all the American kids went to
school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday â at
4:30 in the morning.
Now I wasnât too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, Iâd fall asleep right
there at the kitchen table. But whenever Iâd complain, my mother would just give me one
of those looks and say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster."
So I know some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But Iâm here today
because I have something important to discuss with you. Iâm here because I want to talk
with you about your education and whatâs expected of all of you in this new school year.
Now Iâve given a lot of speeches about education. And Iâve talked a lot about
responsibility.
Iâve talked about your teachersâ responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to
learn.
Iâve talked about your parentsâ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get
your homework done, and donât spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that
Xbox.
Iâve talked a lot about your governmentâs responsibility for setting high standards,
supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that arenât working where
students arenât getting the opportunities they deserve.
But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive
parents, and the best schools in the world â and none of it will matter unless all of you
fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those
teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it
takes to succeed.
And thatâs what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your
education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.
Every single one of you has something youâre good at. Every single one of you has
something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that
is. Thatâs the opportunity an education can provide.
Maybe you could be a good writer â maybe even good enough to write a book or articles
in a newspaper â but you might not know it until you write a paper for your English
class. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor â maybe even good enough to
come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccine â but you might not know it
until you do a project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or
a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government
or the debate team.
And no matter what you want to do with your life â I guarantee that youâll need an
education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to
be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? Youâre going to need a
good education for every single one of those careers. You canât drop out of school and
just drop into a good job. Youâve got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.
And this isnât just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of
your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What youâre
learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest
challenges in the future.
Youâll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to
cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect
our environment. Youâll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history
and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make
our nation more fair and more free. Youâll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop
in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our
economy.
We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can
help solve our most difficult problems. If you donât do that â if you quit on school â
youâre not just quitting on yourself, youâre quitting on your country.
Now I know itâs not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges
in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.
I get it. I know what thatâs like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I
was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasnât always
able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father
in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didnât fit in.
So I wasnât always as focused as I should have been. I did some things Iâm not proud of,
and got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for
the worse.
But I was fortunate. I got a lot of second chances and had the opportunity to go to
college, and law school, and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle
Obama, has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didnât
have much. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best
schools in this country.
Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you donât have adults in your life
who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job,
and thereâs not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where
you donât feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know arenât
right.
But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life â what you look like, where you
come from, how much money you have, what youâve got going on at home â thatâs no
excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. Thatâs no excuse for
talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. Thatâs no excuse
for not trying.
Where you are right now doesnât have to determine where youâll end up. No oneâs
written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make
your own future.
Thatâs what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.
Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didnât speak English when
she first started school. Hardly anyone in her hometown went to college, and neither of
her parents had gone either. But she worked hard, earned good grades, got a scholarship
to Brown University, and is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to
being Dr. Jazmin Perez.
Iâm thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, whoâs fought brain
cancer since he was three. Heâs endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of
which affected his memory, so it took him much longer â hundreds of extra hours â to do
his schoolwork. But he never fell behind, and heâs headed to college this fall.
And then thereâs Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when
bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods, she managed to
get a job at a local health center; start a program to keep young people out of gangs; and
sheâs on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.
Jazmin, Andoni and Shantell arenât any different from any of you. They faced challenges
in their lives just like you do. But they refused to give up. They chose to take
responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to
do the same.
Thatâs why today, Iâm calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education â
and to do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as
doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending time each day reading a
book. Maybe youâll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in
your community. Maybe youâll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or
bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all
kids deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe youâll decide to take better
care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, I hope youâll
all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you donât feel well, so we can
keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.
Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.
I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful
without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or
being a reality TV star, when chances are, youâre not going to be any of those things.
But the truth is, being successful is hard. You wonât love every subject you study. You
wonât click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely
relevant to your life right this minute. And you wonât necessarily succeed at everything
the first time you try.
Thatâs OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones whoâve had the
most failures. JK Rowlingâs first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it
was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and
he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once
said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
These people succeeded because they understand that you canât let your failures define
you â you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do
differently next time. If you get in trouble, that doesnât mean youâre a troublemaker, it
means you need to try harder to behave. If you get a bad grade, that doesnât mean youâre
stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.
No oneâs born being good at things, you become good at things through hard
work. Youâre not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You donât hit every
note the first time you sing a song. Youâve got to practice. Itâs the same with your
schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right, or
read something a few times before you understand it, or do a few drafts of a paper before
itâs good enough to hand in.
Donât be afraid to ask questions. Donât be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do
that every day. Asking for help isnât a sign of weakness, itâs a sign of strength. It shows
you have the courage to admit when you donât know something, and to learn something
new. So find an adult you trust â a parent, grandparent or teacher; a coach or counselor â
and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.
And even when youâre struggling, even when youâre discouraged, and you feel like other
people have given up on you â donât ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up
on yourself, you give up on your country.
The story of America isnât about people who quit when things got tough. Itâs about
people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do
anything less than their best.
Itâs the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a
revolution and found this nation. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who
overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man
on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter
and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.
So today, I want to ask you, whatâs your contribution going to be? What problems are
you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes
here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this
country?
Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have
the education you need to answer these questions. Iâm working hard to fix up your
classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn. But
youâve got to do your part too. So I expect you to get serious this year. I expect you to put
your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So donât
let us down â donât let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all

Â
 The only requirements are that you have to be a single male between the ages of 25 and 40. (--And they didn't say this, but it's probably more understood than ever that you shouldn't be a homicidal maniac.)

 If you're interested in applying for the show, send an email to TheChilliProject@gmail.com. And rememeber: NO SCRUBS!
I know it sounds ridiculous, but this video may make you feel differently!
The clip, claiming to show Michael Jackson walking out of the back of a Coroner's van after his "death," is making the rounds. According to the LiveLeak post: "I checked the license plate number and it looks like the King of Pop is jumping out of the same van, his dead body has been in. I got the original video tape from a trustworthy source. I know him for years. And I am sure it´s real and Michael is alive."

Heidi Montag performed her single "Body Language" at the Miss Universe Pagent last night on NBC. Nearly half her performance was covered up by the picture montage of the first 15 girls in the contest, but did it matter? Heidi lipsynched her way through it and tried to pull off a Britney Spears-ish performance like the one Brit did for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. You know, the good performance, when she looked half-naked and had the snake around her neck.Â
You watch and decide on your own.Â
Good? Bad? Ugly? Hot?Â

A police officer in the Syracuse, New York, area Tasered a 37-year-old mom repeatedly in front of her children during a routine traffic stopâand then arrested the mom, leaving the children alone in their family minivan for 40 minutes in freezing weather.
The incident took place in Onondaga County, New York, on January 31, but dashcam video of the incident only recently came to light.
According to a report at syracuse.com, what started out as a routine traffic stop escalated quickly when 37-year-old Audra Harmon challenged officer Sean Andrews assertion that she had been talking on her cell phone when he pulled her over. Harmon disputed that fact, as well as the officers claim that she had been speedingâdoing 50 mph in a 45 zone.
An article at MSNBC.com describes the situation:
Harmon had been driving home with her 15-year-old son, whom she had just picked up from wrestling practice, and 5-year-old daughter. She said she was resting her right hand on her cheek as she pulled behind a sheriffs deputy to make a right turn onto the road where she lived. After she made the turn, the deputy pulled off the road to let her pass, then pulled out behind her with his lights flashing and siren blaring.
When Harmon got out of her minivan to show Officer Andrews that she wasnt in possession of a cell phone, and to ask to see video footage of her allegedly talking on the cell phone she didnt possess, the officer ordered her to get back in her car.
And then he pulled out his taser and said Im under arrest, Harmon said. I got back in the car and he said he wanted me back out of the car now. And I said Why am I under arrest? He then yanked me out of the car pulled his taser out and the first shot jolted me
According to Syracuse.com, Harmon was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and going 50 in a 45 mph zone. The district attorneys office dismissed the charges a month laterâafter watching the videotape, said her lawyer, Terrance Hoffmann.
Amazingly, the officer had justified Harmons arrest by saying she had obstructed traffic by getting out of her minivan.
As MSNBC points out, when Harmon was arrested, her children, aged five and 15, were left by the side of the road for forty minutes.
Harmon is suing the Onondaga County sheriffs office. Officer Andrews has been taken off street patrol and reassigned until an internal affairs investigation is completed, the sheriffs office said.

A bikini being sold in Germany is driving men crazy and outraging women's rights groups.
The sexy thong swimsuit looks like a real bikini but it disappears after just a few seconds in water, according to the Daily Star.
A Web site that calls itself the RevengeShopis promoting the bikini as the perfect present for dumped boyfriends who want to get back at their ex-girlfirends after a break-up.

Chris Brown has made a public apology for an incident in February, that sent his then girlfriend, Rihanna, to a hospital.
"Since February, my attorney has advised me not to speak out, even though ever since the incident I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility," the singer said in a two-minute clip posted on his official YouTube channel on Monday. "Although I will do some interviews and answer some questions in the future, I felt that it was time that you heard directly from me that I am sorry."
Brown added, "I cannot go into what happened, and most importantly, I'm not going to sit here and make any excuses. I take great pride in me being able to exercise self-control and what I did was inexcusable. I am very sad and very ashamed of what I've done."
Brown pleaded guilty last month to one count of felony assault stemming from the February 8 incident, where the singer allegedly beat Rihanna (real name Robyn Fenty), following a pre-Grammy party.
Under the deal Brown and his attorney, Mark Geragos, made with the Los District Attorney's Office, the singer was sentenced to five years probation, enrollment in a domestic violence counseling program and 180 days in a labor program in his home state of Virginia. Final sentencing by a judge will occur on August 5.
In his YouTube posting on Monday, Brown said he has been examining his own character since the incident to try and figure out why he acted the way he did.
"God has been generous in giving me the ability which has brought me fame and fortune," he said. "I have done a lot of soul searching and over the past several months I have talked with my minister and my mother and I spent a lot of time trying to understand what happened and why."
Brown said he is aware that he let down many of his fans because of the altercation.

THE LATEST FAD IN JAPAN IS GETTING SOMETHING CALLED A "BAGELHEAD":Â (???)
Â
Now it's time for a little segment we like to call "What's Hot with the Youth of Japan."Â So . . . what's hot with the youth of Japan?Â
Â
--Well, apparently, the latest fad in Japan is getting a body modification procedure called . . . a "Bagelhead."Â So what's that mean?Â
Â
--Basically, "Bagelheading" involves injecting a saline solution under the skin . . . which causes swelling . . . then using your fingers to mold the swelling into the shape of a bagel. (???)
Â
--After 24 hours, the bagel swelling loses its shape . . . and the skin returns to its normal size.Â

What I Look For In A Girl: Honestly, what I look for in a girl isn't always necessarily how pretty she is. Looks play a big part, but mainly I like a girl with a good head on her shoulders and who knows how to have a good time. She has to be fashion-savvy and have her own sense of style. A great personality is just as important as honesty. 5'5" with brown eyes, smile like the sunrise and a body like heaven.
Worst Date Ever: I went out with this girl one time and the whole night went smoothly until after we decided to go out to a club after dinner. She ended up getting so hammered that she threw up all over herself on the way back home from the club. My car smelled like puke for almost a month until I got it cleaned. I never called her again.

A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT IN FLORIDA GOT HER YEARBOOK THIS WEEK . . . AND REALIZED HER MOST INTIMATE OF AREAS IS SHOWING:Â (!!!)
Â
Admit it . . . when you were in school, you took a bad yearbook photo or two. But I'll bet you never took one THIS bad . . .
Â
--This week, students at Sickles High School in Citrus Park, Florida (--just northwest of Tampa), got their yearbooks.
Â
--But when one unidentified 16-year-old junior turned to page 219 in the yearbook, she noticed that one of the pictures . . . in the "clubs" section . . . showed her MOST INTIMATE OF AREAS. (!!!)
 Â
--That's right. The yearbook photo shows the girl's um...YOU know...Â
Â
--So how could this have happened?
Â
--Apparently, the girl decided not to wear underwear on the day club photos were being taken . . . because she didn't want her panty line to show. But she swears she DID NOT purposely expose herself.Â
 Â
--She says, quote, "I started crying, I was freaking out and I didn't know what to do. This is my junior year, it's so important. I didn't think I could go back to school knowing that everyone knew and had seen the picture.Â
--"All the administrators are trying to downplay it and saying I should really laugh it off . . . but I've been humiliated."
 --According to a school district spokesperson, there are no plans to recall the yearbook because, quote, "We don't believe there is exposure in the yearbook . . . It is a shadow." (???)
 --And get this . . . the girl says she's so humiliated by the picture . . . that she won't return to school for the REST OF THE YEAR.

Theressa heard on the Z Morning Zoo this morning that we were giving away Nascar tickets! She showed up along with a few other cowards in Hampton Roads but was the ONLY one willing to get a full-blown Nascar Makeover to get tickets to the Nascar Lipton Tea 250race at the Richmond International Raceway. Everyone else left after they found out clippers and a mullet were involved!
From the front...
and the back...
and the side...
Someone looks nervous!
Shaggy explains how he's going to shave Theressa's head!
"Oh no, please don't do it!"
"Pleeeeeese, don't do this to me!!"
Well that's when Shaggy took away the clippers and told her that since she was WILLING to sit in that chair and get a mullet just for some Nascar tickets, that Z104 would reward her with a family four pack WITHOUT cutting her hair!!
 YAY!! Really??! That is so awesome! Shwweeeew!!! Theressa was excited that her son could now go to the races and not be embarrassed with his mama by his side and she would not have to get her daughter, a hairdresser, to fix that crazy mess!!Â
Congratulations Theressa!! Thanks for being so brave!!

 --Anyway, if you love the Snuggie, then you might want to check out the Peekaru . . . which the product website advertises as a, quote, "fleece vest that zips over a soft baby carrier to keep you and your child warm."Â
--Or think of it this way: The Peekaru is a fleece vest . . . that has a kangaroo pouch for your baby. Â

Â
Â
--On Friday, an unidentified 24-year-old man robbed a bank in Southfield, Michigan (--just northwest of Detroit), and proceeded to lead police on a high-speed chase, which finally came to an end . . .
Â
Â
-- . . . when the guy accidentally turned into the parking lot of the SOUTHFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT. (!!!)
Â
Â
--But this guy's idiocy didn't stop there because, once he realized what he'd done, the guy used a SHARPIE PEN to draw a goatee on his face . . . in an attempt to disguise himself from the cops. (???)
Â
Â
(--Check out a picture of this moron with his ridiculous Sharpie goatee here . . .)

Below is the test email we (the zoo) wrote to Some Guy Named Tias (our boss):
Dear Tias,
I'm writing you this email because I think our relationship has run its course. Do you realize that you're a total loser? I know you'll probably tell everyone that you dumped me, because you're a liar. But everyone knows that already, so they won't believe you. You couldn't even pass your exams without cheating; I should have known you'd cheat on me too, asshole. It might be hard for you to believe, but one thing I can tell you for sure: you really need to work on your skills in bed. I mean, you're just plain bad at sex. You know, a little respect can go a long way. But the amount of respect you give me is only enough for ME to go a long way. A long way away from you, douchebag. I'm fed up with kissing an ashtray and seeing you waste your money on cancer sticks every day. It's disgusting. Here's some food for thought: you're an asshole!
Some people get very little money out of their job. Some people get dumped. Joy of joys, you get both. You're like cling wrap around me, but what you need to realize is that I am not a vegetable and your clinginess is unbearable. All that nagging of yours worked, assuming your intent was to get rid of me. You don't live in a soap opera, so quit causing so much drama.
Sorry, but you're not even worth keeping as a friend. You may not have realized, but I saw you with him, you fat-fried hamburger-humper! I may love you, but I'm definitely not in love with you. You're gonna have to learn to accept that. Why are you so boring? I've seen rocks that are more interesting than you. I never want to see you again, jerkface! Stay away from me or I'll beat you with a frozen salmon. I think you get the idea: this relationship is over.
Enjoy your new freedom, slut!

TMZ posted a picture yesterday of RIHANNA after she was allegedly assaulted by CHRIS BROWN. Some of you may find it disturbing . . .
Â
(--Notice that there ARE welts on either side of Rihanna's forehead, as we'd heard there were. There's also some bleeding on or around her bottom lip. And there are a few scratches or cuts on her face.)
Â
--Meanwhile . . . E! Online says that the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office is looking for evidence to charge Chris with a string of FELONIES . . . including domestic violence, assault resulting in great bodily injury and . . .
Â
--ATTEMPTED MURDER. (???) This charge would supposedly be based on specific statements Rihanna gave to police.Â
 Â
--Obviously, the tricky part for the D.A.'s office will be building a case with no witnesses other than Rihanna and Chris.

This is Kanye's new video for "Welcome to Heartbreak". It is NOT the next single from 808s & Heartbreak, that would be "Amazing". However, this video had been worked on for a couple months, because it uses a video distortion called "bleeding pixels". Well, another band decided to steal the idea and put it in THEIR video too, so Kanye was forced to release HIS video early. What do you think of it?

Last summer, MICHAELPHELPS became an international celebrity after he won a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics. Now, Phelps is back in the news . . . but this time the headlines aren't so flattering.Â
Â
Â
--So what's the problem?
Â
Â
--Over the weekend, a picture surfaced which showed Phelps hitting a MARIJUANA BONG at a party last November in Columbia, South Carolina.  Â
Â
Â
--On Sunday, Phelps released a statement admitting the picture is real, saying, quote:
Â
Â
--"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me.Â
Â
Â
--"For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again."Â
 Â
Â
(--There's the issue of whether this situation will affect Phelps' eligibility for the 2012 Olympic Games in London because . . . according to the rules . . . athletes caught taking drugs are subject to a four-year ban. I guess we'll have to wait and see . . .)
