...more hard-core stuff like you did on Get Rich or Die Tryin' [in 2003]? -Raveen Bhasin, DallasI take into consideration what the music business is facing with things like the Don Imus situation. I think it would cause a full uproar if I wrote [hard-core] lyrics from that perspective all the way through my album. That's why I released Curtis instead of my next project, Before I Self Destruct. It's more of a hard-core sound, and it would be too aggressive for this period...
...where I will be able to write that I have been struck speechless by an interesting bend in New Hampshire State Route 109. There is no job interview where I will be able to brag about how I can tell whether a two-cycle engine is running too rich or too lean by the sound of it. And society gained no great benefit from the cement flagpole foundation that I set into some ledge. But I reckon that each of these things is good for the mitigation of at least two or three weeks within the interminable routine of Cambridge...

Players frequently knock heads, but it's hard to predict which of the many hits will result in brain-rattling concussions, which are relatively few in number and--contrary to popular belief--often occur without loss of consciousness. Eight colleges, including three Big Ten schools, are using the team version of Riddell's high-tech helmets, which wirelessly relay real-time data--gleaned from the same sensors found in car air bags--to a sideline computer that can send a pager alert if a player...
There are those who argue that some parents will not have the ability or inclination to find the right school for their kids. But I'm convinced that all parents--rich and poor--benefit when they get to make their own choices rather than be subjected to a monopoly provider. So I am optimistic. If the experiment succeeds, even in part, it has the chance to transform urban education nationwide. That's why I'm excited that so many smart and spirited activists--innovative and imaginative and dedicated to the cause of ensuring that every kid in America gets...
