In the recent years, we have heard in the news some pretty creative “Take This Job and Shove It” stories. Joey quit his job with the support of a marching band and posted the event on YouTube. A Jetblue flight attendant quit his job, grabbed a beer and then slid down the emergency chute of the plane he was on. But, in probably the most significant public resignation of 2012 thus far, Greg Smith, a former Goldman Sachs vice president, wrote a personal manifesto of the company’s faults. It landed in the New York Times, garnering national attention and even online parodies. Read More...

For more than 60 years JET magazine's "Beauty of The Week" page has served as a weekly snapshot promoting and supporting the message that black is beautiful. Admiring these gorgeous women of color has definitely become a pastime. And once you're able to peel your eyes away from their fantastic physiques clad in cheeky swimwear, their bios reveal there is plenty of talent, personality and brains to go with those curves.

Mitt Romney falsely claims government will "constitute … almost 50 percent" of the U.S. economy when the new federal health care law takes full effect. But Romney gets to 50 percent by erroneously counting all health care spending — private and public — as "effectively under government control once Obamacare is fully implemented," as his spokesman put it.

That's nonsense — just as it was two years ago, when Rep. Michele Bachmann made a similar bogus claim. The fact is that the nation's health care system will be no more under federal control than Massachusetts' fell under state control after Romney signed a similar health care law as governor. Both Obama and Romney expanded the private insurance market by mandating that individuals purchase health care coverage. Read More...

It's true that skin cancer in African Americans isn't nearly as common as it is in other ethnicities. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, it comprises just one to two percent of all cancers among blacks. But with less than half of melanomas in African Americans diagnosed at an early stage (compared to 74 percent in Hispanics and 84 percent in Caucasians) and survival rates hovering around 77 percent (versus 91 percent for Caucasians), doctors caution that it's not a disease that should be ignored.

Last year smartphones outsold PCs for the first time in history. By 2015, mobile devices will account for almost 80% of Internet usage.

It’s also intuitively clear. There’s a whole new generation of mobile-first users who will regard PCs as bulky and antiquated. And it’s abundantly clear from successful examples like Draw Something, which hit a million users in just nine days, and Instagram, which accumulated a staggering $2 million in enterprise value per day from Read More...

In a new rap song by Pusha T., Kanye West is apparently sending a message to Kim Kardashian about their future together. Kanye guests on the track with the lyric, "I saw you in the club in a white dress/Now I want to put you in a white dress." Read More...

JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank by assets, said it suffered a trading loss of at least $2 billion from a failed hedging strategy, a shock disclosure that hit financial stocks and the reputation of the bank and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. For a bank viewed as a strong risk manager that went through the financial crisis without reporting a loss, the errors are embarrassing, especially given Dimon's public criticism of the so-called Volcker rule to ban proprietary trading by big banks.
