Nick Jonas dead!!! omg i found this article about it. i cant believe it what do u think?????!!!!! "It is a tragic day for the Jonas family, for Nick Jonas has passed away today Monday, August 18th, 2008. One of brothers of the famous pop band, The Jonas Brothers, has died from pancreatic cancer, a malignant tumor of the pancreas. The youngest of the band brothers, Nicholas Jerry Jonas, born on September 16th, 1992, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in late May of 2008. The Jonas family supported Nick through all the chemotherapy, and made sure he was as comfortable as possible, but it wasn't helping to rid the cancer. There were complications due to Nick JOnas'previous diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes. Nick Jonas and family decided not to tell fans because they did not want them to worry, and did not want fans bombarding the family during this tough time. The family was unaware of that Nick had cancer until the late diagnosis in May, because pancreatic cancer symptoms are often non-specific. Due to his Diabetes, some of the symptoms, such as not feeling well and abdominal pain were thought to be attributed to the diabetes, and the family never sought additional treatment or diagnosis until Nick began to look jaundice and was unable to keep a healthy weight. The family is in mourning, and will hold a private funeral on Friday, and another public memorial for fans on Saturday."

Google-Yahoo Advertising Tie-Up: Good Idea or Bad Idea?

5 answers, 0 raves

An advertising tie-up between Google and Yahoo has caused a ruckus at a Senate antitrust hearing. Senior vice president of Microsoft, Brad Smith, states that the tie-up would give Google "unprecedented" control of searches on the internet. The Google technology would be used to target ads more efficiently on a portion of Yahoo's search pages. Never before has an advertising company had the chance to control up to 90% of a single advertising medium. Some argued in favor of the tie-up, saying that online advertising is very competitive and this could be very beneficial for Internet users. Although Google and Yahoo will joined at the advertising hip, they are assuring that they will still be competing with each other increasingly.

Jesse Jackson Speaks about Obama and "Mental Recession": Do you agree with Jackson's perception of Obama's speech?

14 answers, +2 raves

Jesse Jackson made some not-so-nice comments about Barack Obama and his policies. Jackson described Obama's policies as trying to teach us responsibility no matter what race we are. However, Jackson also said that the perception of Obama's speech was that if black people behaved differently, "they would have jobs, health care,[and] education." This seems a bit troubling to me, to think that a presidential candidate would say this. Is Barack Obama having a mental recession?

No, Jackson's perception is off. Obama did not mean to be racist.	43% (6 answers)

Nutraloaf Unconstitutionally Bad: Can Prison Food Be So Awful That It Is A Violation Of A Prisoner's Rights?

Nutraloaf Unconstitutionally Bad: Can Prison Food Be So Awful That It Is A Violation Of A Prisoner's Rights?

19 answers, +3 raves

Nutraloaf (sometimes called Nutri-loaf, sometimes just "the loaf") is served in state prisons around the country. It's not part of the regular menu but is prescribed for inmates who have misbehaved in various ways—usually by proving untrustworthy with their utensils. The loaf provides a full day's nutrients, and it's finger food—no fork necessary. Prisoners sue over Nutraloaf with some regularity, usually arguing either that their due process rights have been violated (because they are served the punitive loaves without a hearing) or that the dish is so disgusting as to make it cruel and unusual and thus a violation of the Eighth Amendment.

No. Nutraloaf provides all their dietary needs, no one says the food has to be good.	68% (13 answers)

15 answers, +3 raves

As fuel prices continue to skyrocket, American Airlines unveiled plans to immediately eliminate more than 1 in 10 flights, which will lead to thousands of layoffs, and if that wasn't enough, they added a $15 charge to check passengers' first bag. Competing carrier, Delta, says they have no plans to start charging for checked luggage.

The Spurs planned to fly to Los Angeles after the game, but arrived at the airport to find their flight plagued by mechanical problems. With a cable convention crowding the city’s hotel rooms, the team couldn’t find any place to spend the night. Some of the players slept on the plane while others moved to buses on the tarmac. The team left New Orleans around 6:30 a.m. And arrived in Los Angeles a few hours later.
