| Reggae Artist Sizzla Arrested On Gun Charges |
When wil our artist learn, the police love watching you, love when you start slipping, love when they can treat a black millionaire like a common criminal. Let's get smart in 2010 and start hiring some bodyguards with at least a gun license, knife permit, whatever, just stay your a**es out of jail./// Dancehall and reggae music is in trouble as yet another one of its stars is doing battle with the law. As previously reported Buju Banton was arrested December 10 after police say he conspired to buy more than five kilograms of cocaine from an undercover police officer and is currently fighting those charges. Now adding his name to the list is Sizzla Kalonji. Sizzla was arrested on Wednesday by Jamaica's St Andrew parish Central police following reports that gunshots were fired at a group of people at a river in August Town. According to The Weekend Star, Crime chief for the division, Deputy Superintendent Derrick 'Cowboy' Knight, stated that the entertainer, born Miguel Orlando Collins, was taken into custody following the shooting incident. |

As Facebook uses PHP extensively for many of its systems, the social networking leader put a small team of engineers together to come up with a solution to the PHP performance issues, as well as scalability issues—because scalability of dynamic, or scripting, languages has been an area of concern for some of the huge social networking platform providers. Twitter has had a number of difficulties in scaling Ruby. And Facebook set out to whip PHP into a scalable, well-performing, well-behaved citizen of its IT environment. |

| Wyclef Jean of Haiti defends Yele Charity |
It surprises me that anytime someone tries to do good for their people they are criticized by the same ones who are guilty of the crime, for example the situation in Haiti where Wyclef is assisting those in need with the help they are seeking through his foundation Yele, millions have been donated to Yele since last Tuesday when the devastatig earthquake left Haiti in rubbles. The media always fail to mention the percentage of large charities like Red Cross that distribute as little as 20% of the money donated to help those in need, and keep the remaining 80% for "administration" fees. Well...we all know how that goes....here is an excerpt of what Wyclef Jean had to go through to clear his name ...for the record.. South Florida Loves you Clef...Sak Pase |

| D Wade 25th anniversary Air Jordans |
![]() So these are the Jordan 2010s, and with the new shoe comes a new endorser, Dwyane Wade(notes). Wade is the newest member of Jordan Brand, and owner of probably the most Jordan-styled game in the NBA. As both Carmelo Anthony(notes) and Chris Paul(notes) already have signature shoes, this is a natural fit. As you can imagine, there's been a huge promotional push about that very fact. All of this makes sense: Chicago kid who plays like Jordan wearing the new Jordans. Perfect. Except the shoes. Now, these aren't the worst Jordans (the XVs), but they certainly aren't the best (XIs). To these piercing blue eyes, they're kind of boring, and more than a little like something Converse would design. That's disappointing from the Air Jordan, which made its name on innovative designs and technologies. The big feature on these shoes is a see-through window, which I guess let's people see your socks. Great.
