Student loan debt exceeds credit card debt in USA
Sad but true, but whether some people know it or know student loan debt has now exceeded credit card debt at a rate if $850 billion withstanding. So just to give you an idea of the magnitude, credit card debt is designed to be paid off within a couple of yrs if minimal payments are made whereas student loan payments are engineered for a 10yr payoff...so do the math considering that now we owe more money in student loans....meaning the longer the payoff period the more interest being accumulated! My theory: because of all these goofball for-profit schools like the University of Phoenix that have predatory marketing techniques that target lower income students or minorities to receive millions of dollars a yr in Pell Grant funding, have high degree costs, yet produce graduation rates of less than 9% for 1st time bachelors degree students or quite simply a lot of people who are trying to counteract the financial stress of the recession by either staying in school longer or attempting to go back to school to use student loan returns as supplemental income to handle their basic costs of living.
Excerts from USAToday:
Total student loan debt exceeds total credit card debt in this country, with $850 billion outstanding, according to Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid.org and FastWeb.com, websites that provide information about student aid and scholarships.
With tuition far outpacing inflation for the past 20 years, student borrowing has continued to grow — a whopping 25% last year. Some students who are borrowing never expected to, but their parents have lost jobs or suffered other financial setbacks in the recessionSo here are some tips/important questions to ask to get your head stuck out of the sand....
- What are the graduation rates?
- Find out the median debt-level ratios for your degree field to set realistic expectations for yourself
- Request a listing from the school of the occupations associated w/ each program
- Shop around for the best tuition programs
- Job placements rates?
- Default rates of all students?
- Expected amount of debt?

Art Exhibition: The Art of Rabodiga
“Rabodiga was born in 1983, in Zaragoza, Spain, where she lived until she was 18. She then moved to study Fine Arts at the University of Valencia. Rabodiga combines illustration, traditional painting and graffiti with her studies of photography. By painting girls who represent her alter ego, she communicates a deep hidden world to the outside. Rabodiga tries to turn what she perceives into something more beautiful than the world we are surrounded by.”

Stem Cell Transplant Cures HIV In 'Berlin Patient'
Courtesy of the Huffington Post:
On the heels of World AIDS Day comes a stunning medical breakthrough: Doctors believe an HIV-positive man who underwent a stem cell transplant has been cured as a result of the procedure.
Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the "Berlin Patient," received the transplant in 2007 as part of a lengthy treatment course for leukemia. His doctors recently published a report in the journal Blood affirming that the results of extensive testing "strongly suggest that cure of HIV infection has been achieved."
Brown's case paves a path for constructing a permanent cure for HIV through genetically-engineered stem cells.
Last week, Time named another AIDS-related discovery to its list of the Top 10 Medical Breakthroughs of 2010. Recent studies show that healthy individuals who take antiretrovirals, medicine commonly prescribed for treating HIV, can reduce their risk of contracting the disease by up to 73 percent.
While these developments by no means prove a cure for the virus has been found, they can certainly provide hope for the more than 33 million people living with HIV worldwide. Alongside such findings, global efforts to combat the epidemic have accelerated as of late, with new initiatives emerging in the Philippines and South Africa this week.
Book of Rhymes: Patience
I been boxed in all my life
So tell me why in da f*ck I shouldn't wild at light
Underneath the city lights
Everybody wanna play so everybody gotta pay the price
Just to get a luxury in life
Where you can get cut by the knife just for flashing a piece of ice
And where demons can hide, and wake up right next to you by your side
So I'm going for mine
Because everything ain't what it seems according to the hands of time
Mass collisions and suicide
Global suspicions of religions corroding the manuscripts of God
I didn't grow up in Oz
But I know that us and this planet ain't the only ones involved
Politicians mistaken the law, trying to design the divine principles of what God's
Sometimes I sit an wonder what pharaohs seen sitting looking at the stairs
Or whats in my grandmothers heart, when she has to watch sin bury the next generation of little boys
I don't know where it starts
Or how it begins
But I know that it ain't over
When will it ever end
Where the struggles of men, extend to even getting exploited due to the color of their skin
Maybe that's what Malcolm meant or Gandhi blast
Or Jesse James ran for when that nigga hauled ass
We need revolution back, before evolution wipes human existence right off the map
Or maybe I'm running my yap
But we still gotta raise our families so you do the math
Stand up like a man and react
Or hold your hands like a coward and look and laugh
...Patience
Moment of Clarity....
Not that I care but I came across this image on online which proves unequivocally that homosexuality can not be genetic like some of these advocates in the scientific community are claiming because if it was then both twins should be gay...But then again by looking at this picture its honestly hard to tell which one of these clowns are gay so the straight one must be confused. LMAO! FYI: You just might be gay homeboy if you are standing next to your gay brother holding a sign and you cannot tell the both of ya'll apart!
Shout-out to getting the f*ck outta here with that BS!
