Former Black Entertainment Television owner and Charlotte Bobcats owner Robert (Bob) Johnson, left in photo, has sold the basketball team to former Chicago Bulls basketball legend Michael Jordan, right in photo. Jordan was already a minority owner and head of basketball operations. It appears that Johnson gave Jordan the deal that the late Washington Wizards owner Abe Pollin never intended to give to the legend. The Bobcats play in the Time Warner Cable Arena.
Jordan is a native North Carolinian and led the University of North Carolina to an NCAA Championship in 1982 (of course with a last minute winning shot). After basketball playing stints with the Chicago Bulls, the Washington Wizards and the debacle with Pollin, Jordan began his current role with the Bobcats in 2006. Congratulations Michael

Message to Hill Harper:
That is Sandra Bullock above Julia Roberts. Study it. Remember it. Believe it.
Did he do it on purpose? Was he joking around? It didn't seem like it to me. Does he have a grudge against Sandra Bullock? Hill stepped right up at the "41st NAACP Image Awards" and told Sandra that he loved her every since he first saw her in "Pretty Woman." Sorry Hill, but that was Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman" with Richard Gere and not Sandra Bullock. You had to be kidding.
The two are Hollywood rivals too because they never work together. So your mistake had to be particularly painful, if not downright embarassing. Sandra's husband, Jesse James, is a pretty tough guy. You know everybody who saw you do that is gonna kid you about it forever Hill.

We support President Obama's proposal to provide health care for the roughly 30 million uninsured and removing obstacles for people with preexisting conditions to get insurance.
With that said, I noticed the two Pothos plants behind the president during the marathon health care summit at the Blair House across the street from the White House. I love the Pothos. Botanically it is Epipremnum and their trailing nature makes them extremely decorative.
I have two of them crawling all over my office and around my computer screens. The wonderful Pothos prefers low light and moderately most soil. This gloriously uplifting plant also likes a moderate to warm temperature of 62-80 degrees F. Some of my Pothos plant arms stretch out to 15 feet or so. It is such a soothing plant. Maybe that is why the plants were strategically placed behind the president as he jousted with Republicans over American health care. One Pothos arm can be seen creeping down right behind his left should in the photo above.

I support Cap and Trade as an effective market tool to reduce harmful emissions that are causing harmful changes in our climate.
The Republicans led the fight to pass a Cap and Trade program during the Bush administration's Clear Skies Initiative. When it failed to get out of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, President Bush used EPA to implement Cap and Trade regulations. Those regulations were ultimately overturned by the courts. The Democrats could not get a Cap and Trade bill passed in Congress and now President Obama is doing the same thing that George Bush did: implementing greenhouse gas emissions Cap and Trade through EPA regulatory fiat. The courts will overturn those regulations too. At least the Obama administration has a basis for their actions from the U.S. Supreme Court. It is funny to watch Senator Inhofe scoff at Cap and Trade now when he led the fight for it in the Senate for the Clear Skies Initiative.
Glenn Beck probably does not have me on his show because he opposes Cap and Trade. Bill O'Reilly opposes Cap and Trade too. Maybe that's why he doesn't invite me too. Yet I am a conservative. A green conservative at that. And conservatives pushed Cap and Trade aggressively under Bush, my third favorite president after President Obama and President Jimmy Carter. Does Glenn Beck only harangue progressives in a futile attempt to undermine President Obama? He should give me equal time. Again, it must be that darned Cap and Trade thing. Yet Cap and Trade is a capitalist marketplace tool to address the climate change issue. Neither Beck nor O'Reilly believes that climate change is a problem. So I guess their anti Cap and Trade and anti climate change issues trump the views of a conservative black green. Gosh darn it.

Van Jones, right, will recieve the President's Award at the 41st NAACP Image Awards. Jones is the co-founder of three social justice organizations: the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, Color of Change, and Green For All. Van is the best-selling author of "The Green Collar Economy." He helped to pass the Green Jobs Act. From March to September 2009, he worked as the special advisor for green jobs in the Obama White House. A 1993 graduate of the Yale Law School, Van is the recipient of many awards and honors. TIME Magazine named Jones one of the 100 most influential people of 2009. That same year, he was included in Ebony¹s "Power 150" list of the most influential African Americans. In 2008, Essence named him one of the 25 most inspiring African Americans. Today, Van is a senior strategist for Green For All and a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. In Fall 2010, he will teach an advanced environmental course at Princeton University.

U2 guitarist/singer The Edge (David Evans) wants to build a compound in the Malibu hills and some conservationists are hassling him. He needs look no further than the Chesapeake Bay Foundation in Maryland as an example for him to emulate. They built 'an environmentally friendly' office right on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay. And conservationists celebrated it because it was so 'environmentally friendly.' Ugly as hell, but 'environmentally friendly.' So tell those folks bothering you to give the Chesapeake Bay Foundation a call.
The project proposed by The Edge calls for a cluster of five, 10,000-square-foot homes. The two-story, earth-toned dwellings would be the maximum size allowed in areas designated as environmentally sensitive habitat. Renderings show organic design features such as a pool that encircles one home like a moat. Another house would wrap around an existing pile of boulders while The Edge's own dwelling would feature curved roof lines to simulate leaves. The Edge is also proposing to dig an access road up the mountain behind the exclusive Serra Retreat neighborhood of about 90 homes.
The Edge can donate one of those five homes to us so we can use it as a West Coast office/residence? We love the scenery of the Santa Monica Mountains, the Malibu Pier, Surfrider Beach and the Pacific Ocean. Pacific Coast Highway is our favorite in the whole country. We would also love to be able to hang out in the exclusive Serra Retreat neighbourhood.
Critics worried that the project could cause an environmental disaster should look at the news. There are always mud slides and wildfires in those hills. Ever heard of earthquakes? Build your little road and run a water line up there David. Many others have. You work hard and you deserve the view. Plus you are environmentally sensitive and we are sure you would be as 'delicate' with those hills as the Chesapeake Bay Foundation was with their waterfront area.
The Edge intends to have the homes Gold LEED Certified by adhering to the greenest building standards requiring use of recycled materials in construction and environmentally friendly amenities to reduce energy consumption. Among other features, the homes will have native landscaping, electric vehicle charging, solar panels and onsite wastewater treatment. Nice. Don't forget to give us a call David. Before you break ground.

I love fish oil. I buy the value size bottle of 1200 mg fish oil liquid softgels. I usually get the 100 to 180 softgel bottles. Nature Made is my brand. There are plenty of brands out there. I take a tablet in the morning with breakfast and one in the evening with dinner. Fish oil softgels contain Omega-3 Fatty Acids, which may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. My heart is still young and strong and I want to keep it that way.
Nature Made Fish Oil supply comes from deep ocean waters. They claim that their fish oil is not supplied from farm raised fish. They also claim that state-of-the-art molecular distillation is used to remove PCBs and dioxins, And mercury is undetectable. The softgels contain anchovy and sardine oil. Some soy is mixed into the liquid. So feel free to add a fish oil softgel to your daily multivitamin/multimineral.

So John Mayer uses the N-word and says he has a David Duke penis. Is he trying to sell CDs in the Black community or what? Eminen is gonna kick his ass next time he is in the Hood. Says Mayer:
Tiger had the Cablinasian thing several years ago and infamously said: "I'm not Black." And all of his extramarital lovers were white. Oh yes, the sisters noticed. So did everybody else. At his mea culpa faux press conference, there was one black in the audience. Is Tiger into the 'one black token' thing too?
Between John Mayer and Tiger Woods, a black woman does not have a chance (with them). My guess is that black women do not want anything to do with them either.

I'm going to start dating separately from my d - - k."Trying to endear yourself to black women John? So Jennifer Anniston was your target because "Friends" did not have any black people on the show [except Aisha Tyler at the end]. Oops. Black woman. But don't worry, Aisha Tyler already has white penis in the house. Her husband (Jeff Tietjens) is white. Oh well, didn't have to scratch this Hollywood liberal to deeply to expose his true self.

A former Peace Corps volunteer, a coalminer's grandson, and the frontman of Louisville's biggest rock juggernaut have dropped the issue of mountaintop removal mining squarely at independent rock's doorstep. Dear Companion is a collaboration between three Kentucky musicians; the songs were written and performed by Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore, produced by and featuring Yim Yames of My Morning Jacket and Monsters of Folk. Recorded in the first half of 2009 in their home state, Dear Companion explores their ties to the place they love and aims to draw attention to the problem of Mountaintop Removal coal mining (MTR) and its impact on the people and heritage of central Appalachia. A portion of the proceeds from Dear Companion will benefit Appalachian Voices, an organization devoted to ending MTR and finding a better way forward.

A personal note from Ben:
"We've come together to make some music celebrating our cultural ties to Appalachia and to raise awareness about mountain-top removal coal mining. It's an unfortunately efficient means of strip mining to removes to summits of mountains to dig out coal. Daniel and I feel that losing our environmental and cultural heritage is far too big a sacrifice for something as inefficient as coal. We're donating a portion of the proceeds to the organization Appalachian Voices to help with all the good work they are doing to help raise awareness around the issue and to help amplify the voices of people struggling in the coal fields. You can find out more about what they do at http://www.ilovemountains.org"
