Dwayne Wade Dunks on Varejao
This is gonna make one awesome poster.
In this game with the legend Micheal Jordan in attendance and another legend Shaq resting in the Cavs bench, D Wade shows why he should be rated up there with the best of ‘em.
Btw, that was an awesome block by Jermain Oneal on none other than Lebron James.
Amazing Rap Battle: Dumbfoundead v.s. Kid Twist
I was trying to put less hip hop related topics on the blog for a while but I couldn’t resist this one. Dumbfoundead is my favorite battle rapper ever.
IMO, the most creative things in music are happening in the UK, Fresh Coast, and T dot music scenes.
(Just skip to 2:26, and I apologize in advance for the crowd. They react to the punchlines like this is the first battle they ever saw.)

PBS- The Market Maker: Eleni Gabre Madhin Creates First Commodity Market in Ethiopia [Full Episode]
Trailer:
While in college future economist Eleni Gabre-Madhin watched the famine in her home country Ethiopia, where about a million people died of starvation. The most messed up part about it was that in the northern part of the country there was a surplus of food which was thrown away.
In the video we get to watch her as she goes back to Ethiopia to set up a commodity exchange so that Ethiopian farmers get access to the market all across Ethiopia- and with enough time, the world. This is an amazing documentary (and the only one I know of) showing a person developing a national commodities exchange from scratch.

The Emanuel Brothers
Rahm Emanuel has just been crowned the most powerful man in Washington by GQ magazine on their top 50 list. Along with orchestrating the asswhipping the Democrats gave the GOP for house seats in 2006, he’s Chief of Staff to President Obama, and was also senior adviser to President Clinton back in the day. When observing his success and his brothers Ezekiel, and Ari (who they base Ari Gold from Entourage on), one can only assume upbringing had a lot to do with their success.
Here are some clips of the brothers talking about life growing up:
Wow A Reality Show That’s Actually Good! – abc’s Shark Tank
I don’t watch a lot of T.V. But when I do its CNBC Fast Money, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Colbert Report, Fareed Zakaria’s GPS, and my NFL team (Eagles of course). And even with that being said, I can watch most of these online now.
This new show by Mark Burnett the creator of, well, a crapload of reality shows including Survivor and Apprentice has his best one yet. It’s called Shark Tank and it’s essentially The Apprentice meets American Idol. People pitch their business Ideas in front of would be investors (including Daymond John creator of FUBU) in an intimidating atmosphere. If you have a business idea and have plan to execute it, this show is a really good depiction of what you may encounter (without the dramatic background music).
