Twitter account re-Tweets credit card Tweets, educating users against the habit :::: In the News


A fairly new Twitter account has been created, one intended to perhaps alarm / frighten people into halting their over-sharing on social media sites. In this case, the over-sharing isn’t about some embarrassing incident (perhaps involving alcohol), but instead an overly foolish financial disclosure: clear images of credit or debit cards.
The account, @NeedADebitCard aggregates and reTweets publicly Tweeted photos of peoples’ debit, credit, and ATM cards.
One such example is here, first Tweeted by @tamareldahr on June 9, but reTweeted within the last 12 hours (at the time of this writing). The Tweet is a celebration of what we guess is Tamar El Dahr’s first credit card.

Jay-Z lands executive producer role for NBA 2K13 :::: Video





NBA 2K has always prided itself in providing its fans with a dope hip-hop soundtrack as they get their game on but now the popular basketball video game is turning things up a notch. In the latest video promo for NBA 2K13, 2K Sports announces that Jay-Z will be serving as the executive producer for the game which hits shelves on October 2. The twenty-four second clip doesn’t give much detail but it’s safe to assume that Jay-Z will be picking out and supplying songs for NBA 2K13.
Jay-Z is a self confessed fan of NBA basketball and it doesn’t hurt that he is part owner of the Brooklyn Nets and a good pal of Miami Heat superstar Lebron James. Earlier this month, Lebron James revealed to MTV that Jay-Z shared some of the new music he has been working on. “Anytime I’m around Jay, he always plays me some new stuff,” said James. “You know Jay, he’s really passionate about his music and when he’s ready to let the world hear it, he’ll let you guys hear it.”


 

Chris Tucker Confirmed For New 'Friday' Film :::: In the Movies


Ice Cube and Chris Tucker

Ice Cube got fans excited late last year, when he revealed that he was planning a new film in his classic Friday film series ... and was reaching out to all the original cast, including Chris Tucker.
At the time, things were in the planning stages. However, in March, Cube revealed that the develop of the fourth film was moving along, but there was one snag, Chris Tucker was still unconfirmed. The rapper said he and Tucker had conversations about him reprising the role of "Smokey," but he was not confirmed....
This week, HipHop posted a photo of Cube and Tucker together, reporting confirmation from the rap legend that Tucker is officially on-board and a new Friday film is in the works.
Fans have been waiting for years to see the pair reunite on screen, ever since they lit up the box office in the 1995 original. Since the first film, Tucker had been absent from its two sequels, 2000's Next Friday and 2002's Friday After Next.
Further details were unknown at press time. Stay tuned...

Ludacris returns and wilds out in the official music video for his single, "Jingalin," the first off his upcoming, anticipated Ludaversal album.
The clip starts with a message/warning for everyone watching: "Disturbing Tha Peace would like to thank everyone that attended the Ludacris Pool Party. DTP would also like to apologize to the city of Atlanta -- in particular to the Sherriff's and fire departments -- for everything you are about to see. Sincerely, we had good intentions."

Secretly Monitor Cop Stops with New ACLU App :::: In the News


Citizens, citizen journalists and activists have run afoul of the police before, when recording police activities. This is despite the fact that police have all manner of recording equipment of their own, and don’t hesitate to use it. The ACLU of New Jersey has come down on the side of the public, with a new app that helps the public surreptitiously record the authorities.
The app is currently only available on Android, but will be coming to iOS soon, according to the report, although theiPhone version will only have an audio recording option. It is, of course, unclear why this app was developed by a state branch rather than the national organization, but at this point, who cares? We love the idea.

Anti-AIDS Pill Out of Sex-Worker Reach in Push for Cure :::: Health News


In a Bangkok go-go bar, a prostitute in a transparent miniskirt who goes by the name “Joy” said she’s ready to benefit from one of the biggest scientific breakthroughs in the 30-year fight against AIDS.
The 23-year-old sex worker says she’d like the chance to use Gilead Sciences Inc. (GILD)’s pill Truvada to help protect her from becoming one of the 530,000 people in Thailand with HIV.
“I am scared,” she said, during a break at the bar. “I want to find a husband. If it works, I’ll take it.”
Truvada, a staple of treatment for patients with HIV, was approved today in the U.S. to lessen the risk of infection in healthy people by as much as 94 percent when taken regularly. As researchers struggle to develop an AIDS vaccine, having a daily pill to block the virus could be a crucial interim step to rein in the disease. Yet rather than celebrating Truvada’s effectiveness, global health planners are now facing a difficult moment of soul searching over how to allocate limited resources.
“On the surface it’s something amazing, you can prevent HIV with a pill,” said Kevin Robert Frost, chief executive officer of amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research. “But then you start to dig deeper and it gets really complicated. When I get to the question of who pays for this I am completely dumbfounded. In developing countries, most of them can’t afford to give pills to those who are HIV positive.”

Pitbull officially announces partial ownership and partnership with Miami Subs Grill :::: Miami News


When you think Miami, there’s no way of not thinking of Pitbull in the same light. So a few months back when Miami Subs Grill and Pitbull started retweeting each other, we knew it was a good match, but we also knew something bigger was uh’ comin’. And last night, at the Shelborne Hotel, Pit and Miami Subs announced their new partnership with Pitbull having a “significant” equity in the company and a significant role in its re-branding and reorganization to take the restaurant chain worldwide.
There used to be over 170 locations all over the place in its peak in 2001, but the franchise is down to 38 stores in 2012 – most of which are located in South Florida. Pitbull, who will now serve as a member of Miami Subs’ board of directors plans to take the Miami Subs brand to a new level.

City Of Los Angeles Passes Ordinance To Ban Marijuana Dispensaries ::: Los Angeles News


misc - Marijuana

After years of controversy over the growth of medical-marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles, its City Council has voted to ban them.
According to reports, L.A. council members voted 14-0 to pass an ordinance on Tuesday (July 24) that will make dispensaries illegal by modifying language in the city's municipal code.
However, they also voted to have city attorneys prepare a separate ordinance that would allow more than 100 dispensaries that were open before 2008 to remain in business.
After Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa signs the ordinance, marijuana shops will have 30 days to shut down their operations.

Pitcher Cole Hamels Signs $144 Million Contract With Philadelphia Phillies :::: MLB News


Cole Hamels

The Philadelphia Phillies have just re-upped with pitcher Cole Hamels, signing him to a historic contract extension.
According to ESPN.com, Hamels signed a six-year, $144 million contract extension with Philly on Wednesday (July 25), which will run through the 2018 season and includes a vesting option for 2019, along with a limited no-trade provision.
The deal is largest contract signed by a Philadelphia athlete in history, and second-highest for a pitcher behind the $161 million deal the New York Yankees gave CC Sabathia in December 2008.
If Hamels opted to become a free agent in the off-season, it's likely would have been the most coveted free-agent pitcher. However, he's consistently said that he enjoys playing in Philadelphia and wanted to return to emulate one of his boyhood heroes, Tony Gwynn, and play his entire career for one franchise.
At 28, he becomes the third Phillies starter making $20 million per season, joining Roy Halladay and Cliff Lee.
