White Vigilante: Shootings of African Americans days after Katrina

This is an incredible shocking documentary about white men patrolling the streets of New Orleans shooting down African American men and leaving them for dead. Since the police officials did nothing to bring these men to justice, the FBI has stepped in (could U.S. General Attorney Eric Holder be pushing this). Am I late on this.. If so please forgive me...

Here's the article from The NATION:

Participate in the company stock purchase plans

http://www.intel.com/jobs/usa/bencomp/stock.htm
public information

Intel provides virtually all employees around the world with opportunities to own company stock. Stock benefits allow employees to become an owner of Intel and share in the company's future and potentially accumulate capital.
Stock Grants
Intel believes that all employees should have an ownership interest in the company, and delivering stock is an important part of our employees’ overall pay and benefits package. All employees are eligible for stock grants as part of Intel’s annual performance review process and upon promotion.
Stock grants may include a grant of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) or, depending on grade level, a combination of Restricted Stock Units and Stock Options. Stock grants vest in equal installments of 25 percent each year over four years.
  • A Stock Option is the right to purchase a certain amount of Intel stock at a set price during a specified time period once vesting requirements have been satisfied.

  • A Restricted Stock Unit is an agreement by Intel to issue an actual share of Intel stock at $0 cost to employees (other than applicable taxes) once vesting requirements have been satisfied. The actual value to employees is based on the market value of Intel stock on the vesting date.
Stock Purchase Plan
The Stock Purchase Plan allows employees to purchase Intel stock at a discount through payroll deductions, from two to five percent of eligible pay. Stock is purchased at 85 percent of Intel's stock price at the lower of the beginning or ending of a subscription period. Employees use the plan for short-term savings goals or long-term investment needs.
NOTE: Intel stock is listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange as Intel (INTC).

continuation of favre's lack of support

what's funny is that most of this seems to be the result of his sad preseason game (not to mention jackson outperformed him)....which in all honesty is unfair....bret was playing after REAL practicing for what---5 days....

like the article points out if he plays well weeks 1-17 this will go away....if he struggles it is going to be a trip...i see the vikings as the next stop for 2010 hard knocks....

R.I.P Edward "Ted" Kennedy


This year has got to be a wild year. So many important names have passed on. The last remaining Kennedy brother has taken his final breathe...

Hitler Reacts to Usain Bolt breaking 100m in Berlin

You have got to pay attention to the subtitles, his reaction goes so well with the subtitles; I would say spot on... Too hilarious..

Some Vikings back T Jackson over Favre.... I love it

Make no mistake, TJack still has supporters in Vikes locker room. Some players believe he gives Vikes best chance to win. Always something.about 18 hours ago from UberTwitter

Tarvaris Jackson | Vikings | Interested: Packers?, Rams?, Saints?, Bengals?, Bears?, Bills? Top Email
During the Monday Night Football halftime show, ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter noted that there is still a feeling amongst some players on the Minnesota Vikings that Tarvaris Jackson should be starting over Brett Favre. Schefter also posted on Twitter last night with the same message.

If this exchange were to come about, Favre would become one of the more expensive backups in the league, but it would also provide one of the more ironic endings to this edition of the perennial un-retirement fiasco. On the other hand, it's possible that the Vikes could trade Jackson to end any QB controversy. The Bills, Bears, Bengals, Saints, Rams and Packers were mentioned as teams interested in Jackson last week by Jason La Canfora of NFL.com.

So, we're basically a quick trade and an Aaron Rodgers injury away from having Favre the Viking vs. TJack the Packer on November 1. That sound you hear is the knife being twisted even further in the collective back of Packers nation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is hilarious. The Vikings deserve it. The only thing that would make this better is if these players went public with their viewpoint. As much as the announcers were blaming everything on Favre's receivers when he was in the game, Jackson looked good. I'm sure Ace can find something wrong with his performance though. The talk before this game was that Jackson could be cut, now they will at least want compensation for him. And people say TO destroys lockerooms.

Did Beasley twit his way to rehab?

Man if the Blueprint 3 is anything like this track right here then Jay-z is most certainly reminding all his haters how nice he really is + he takes shots at Joe Budden ("Tell Them Ordinary Joe's Budden Up").. Joe Budden dude, your favorite rapper is going after 1/4 of the SuckerHouse I mean SlaughterHouse....
