End Of D*mn Days: Ohio Police Say 10-Year Old Is Suspected To Have Murked His Mom

“Back in the days our parents used to take care of us, look at ‘em now, they even f*ckin scared of us”-Notorious B.I.G (Things Done Changed) A 10-year-old boy is in juvenile custody after telling a neighbor that he had shot and killed his mother, an Ohio sheriff said Monday. Deborah McVay, 46, was found dead of a single gunshot wound to the head Sunday night in Big Prairie, located about midway between Cleveland and Columbus, said Holmes County Sheriff Tim Zimmerly. Paramedics found McVay lying facedown on her living room floor, and she was pronounced dead at the scene, Zimmerly said. Authorities went to the home after a neighbor called a sheriff’s dispatcher to say McVay’s son had come to her home and said he had just shot his mother. McVay’s body was transported to the Stark County Coroner’s office for an autopsy. The sheriff said McVay’s 15-year-old daughter is currently staying with relatives. It is unclear whether she witnessed the shooting. The 10-year-old boy is being held in Richland County Juvenile Detention and will appear in court Monday afternoon. A woman who answered the phone at McVay’s home said she had no comment and hung up. Authorities are investigating what may have caused the shooting. Its sad as hell that this tragedy has ruined 2 lives. One day this little boy is going to regret killing his mother in the worst way, and by that time it will probably be WAY too late. SMH Source

Hip-hop artists continue to break records when it comes to business dealings. Although it’s no longer a rare occurrence to see a rapper land a multi-million dollar endorsement deal, it’s still fascinating to see how well these brandmakers have infiltrated the mainstream and have become the go-to sources to help hawk and sell products.  Not to mention, rappers have become an inspiration for African-American entrepreneurship, having become owners of their music and business offshoots like fashion labels. Here’s a list of some of the biggest deals that have helped to enrich the bank accounts of the biggest names in the rap game. Continued at The Atlanta Post

President Obama’s Top 12 Accomplishments of 2010

What grade would you give President Obama for his performance this year? Like many conservatives and staunch liberals, would you give him a big red D or F and hope that somehow he will be impeached? Or, do you feel that he has done a decent job of keeping most of his campaign promises and should receive at least a B-minus? Obviously, there is a strong dichotomy that exists across the nation on President Obama’s performance during the first two years of his presidency, as objectively evidenced by numerous polls. Some individuals wholeheartedly believe that President Obama could have simply snapped his fingers by now to fix the economy and other enormous issues that evolved years prior to his presidency. Conversely, there are certain people that believe that his 200-plus accomplishments over two years are truly extraordinary and unprecedented. Continued at The Atlanta Post
