...sure to be a hit. On her third studio recording, she presents a newly-inspired strength and reveals herself to be a fresh, more confident Alicia. It’s a feel-good album that’s honest, probably best described as a slap in the face to wake up and enjoy life no matter what. “As I Am” is absolutely refreshing. Throughout the album, Keys takes an optimistic stance on everything she sings about. And if you’re that girl who needs to dump your untrustworthy boyfriend, Alicia Keys can show...
...that the jovial Mike Huckabee is campaigning as a Christian-right candidate. But his latest TV ad is a pretty good reminder. The words Christian Leader flash across the screen while Huckabee explains that "faith doesn't just influence me, it really defines me.

Matt Reck is the kind of eco-conscious guy who feeds his trees with bathwater and recycles condensation drops from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But on July 9, Otto Hagen, president of Reck's HOA in Wake Forest, N.C., notified him that a neighbor had complained about his line. The Recks ignored the warning and still dry their clothes on a rope that extends from their swing set to a pole across the yard.
