After collapsing and dying suddenly on Nov. 8, those close to rapper Heavy D wanted answers about his death. They've now got them with the revelation that he suffered a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot in his lungs, according to a Los Angeles coroner's report released on Tuesday.

A grudging endorsement, but sufficiently esteemed that it deserves a little publicity.
The fact that each of the short-lived front-runners in the Republican field gained that position by presenting themselves as staunch conservatives suggests that Republican voters may have been trying to avoid having to accept Mitt Romney, whose record as governor of Massachusetts produced nothing that would be regarded as a serious conservative achievement.
Romney?s own talking point that he has been a successful businessman is no reason to put him into a political office, however much it may be a reason for him to become a successful businessman again?
Much depends on whether you think the voting public is going to be more interested in Newt Gingrich?s personal past than in the country?s future. Most of the things for which Gingrich has been criticized are things he did either in his personal life or when he was out of office. But, if we are serious, we are more concerned with his ability to perform when in office?
There are no guarantees, no matter whom the Republicans vote for in the primaries. Why not vote for the candidate who has shown the best track record of accomplishments, both in office and in the debates? That is Newt Gingrich. With all his shortcomings, his record shows that he knows how to get the job done in Washington.
According to RCP, Newt hasn?t cracked 20 percent (or even 18 percent) in any of the last five Iowa polls. That doesn?t mean he?s sunk ? he?s still the logical alternative for an undecided in the Not Romney and Not Paul camps ? but I?ll never understand why he let so many negative ads go unchallenged. He was famous for scorched-earth politics when he was in the House, yet when he finally got his second look as a presidential contender, he turned into a nice-ish guy. It?s probably too late now.
Here?s his new nice-guy ad. Exit quotation from former GOP Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, discussing her vote in 2003 on the Medicare prescription drug bill: ?Newt called me to vote yes.?

LIFE magazine is turning 75 this year, so the classic publication has released the hybrid coffee-table book/app Life 75 for iPad in celebration.
Life 75 features a collection of highlights from the publication?s 75-year history and includes two viewing methods, which means the app feels like two books in one. When holding your iPad vertically, you can swipe through various LIFE covers. These aren?t presented chronologically, but instead are slotted into various themes, such as war, children and celebrities.
When the iPad is tilted into landscape mode, Life 75 displays photos ?related? to the cover. This photo collection can be browsed by decade, and each photo includes caption information. There are also bonus features available, such as extra photos (small in size, but some never seen before), articles pulled from the publication or audio and video commentary from Life editors and contributors, both past and present.
I did find it strange that the photos are not necessarily from their corresponding covers. For instance, a 2007 image of Patrick Dempsey and his pregnant wife appears when you flip an issue from 1949 simply because it has a baby on the cover.
This app is by no means a complete LIFE anthology: It offers hundreds of photos and 135 covers from the past 75 years. It should also be noted that there are quite a few errors in typesetting, grammar and spelling throughout. That makes Life 75?s $13 price tag a hefty one, and worth a few thinks before you make this investment

Intro:
A woman's lung cancer risk doesn't appear to be linked to the number of children she has, although some scientists had thought hormonal changes during pregnancy might protect against the disease.
That's according to a new report that sums up 16 previous studies on the topic, which researchers have explored to get a better understanding of lung cancer and possible treatments.
If lung cancer in women were tied to hormones the same way some breast cancers are, for instance, similar drugs might be effective against both diseases, said Jessica K. Paulus, who worked on the analysis.
So far, however, studies haven't agreed on whether or not pregnancies -- and by extension hormones -- play a role in lung cancer. . . .
The disease is rare in younger adults, but becomes more common as people grow old. Overall, the risk of getting lung cancer is about one in 13 for men and one in 16 for women. But these overall numbers include smokers, whose risk is many times higher than that of non-smokers.
"Both active smoking and exposure to second-hand smoking are some of the strongest risk factors for lung cancer," said Paulus. "Quitting smoking and quitting soon is associated with reducing your risk of lung cancer."

SEATTLE - Washington coaches tried to warn their players. They didn't get the message.
Nate Wolters scored 34 points as South Dakota State broke Washington's 32-game nonconference home winning streak with a 92-73 victory Sunday.
Washington's last nonconference home loss was to Valparaiso in the College Basketball Invitational on March 14, 2008. Its last regular-season nonconference home loss was Dec. 8, 2007, to Pittsburgh.
Washington coach Lorenzo Romar noticed a lack of energy at the team breakfast on Sunday. It persisted up to the noon PST start time, and then leaked into the game.
Romar also repeatedly warned his team of Wolters' ability, even using an anecdote about Steve Nash leading Santa Clara past UCLA when Romar was an assistant for the Bruins.
Washington did not take heed, and the result was a blistering start for South Dakota State.
"I don't care who we play, we don't lose like we did today at home," Romar said. "It's unacceptable. Unacceptable."
Wolters controlled the entire game. He played all 40 minutes and added seven assists and five rebounds to his 34 points. He did not commit a turnover.
"We knew if we shut him down we win, but obviously, as you can see, we didn't do that," Washington guard Tony Wroten said.
Romar took it a step further.
"I haven't seen a performance like that since Jason Kidd was in the Pac-10," Romar said, referring to the NBA star's days at Cal. "One of the best performances by a point guard I've ever seen at this level."
Griffan Callahan added 16 points and Chad White scored 12 for the Jackrabbits (10-4), who shot 55 percent from the field.
Wroten led Washington with 23 points. Darnell Gant added 15 and C.J. Wilcox scored 12 points for the Huskies (5-5).
Washington used a 15-8 run to open the second half, cutting South Dakota State's lead to 59-48 with 13:30 remaining.
But the Jackrabbits used numerous trips to the free-throw line to broaden the lead. Brayden Carlson made two free throws with 9:15 left to expand South Dakota State's lead to 70-52.
Wolters also helped steady things with three consecutive baskets. Washington never reduced the Jackrabbits' second-half lead to less than 11 points.
Callahan hit a 3-pointer for an early 5-2 South Dakota State lead, and Washington called a timeout just 1:03 into the game to discuss energy once again. But that was just the beginning for the Jackrabbits. They made their first seven 3-point attempts, led by as many as 21 in the half and went into the break ahead 51-33.
"Making shots like that can cut the heart out of anybody," South Dakota State coach Scott Nagy said.
In the first half, South Dakota State made 59 percent of its shots overall, and 73 percent from behind the arc.
"We were getting anything we wanted," Wolters said.
Wolters had 16 points before halftime while White, who was 4 for 5 from 3-point range in the half, had all 12 of his points. Wroten, with 10 points, was the only Washington player in double figures in the half, though he missed numerous defensive assignments.
Washington's game is Thursday against Cal State Northridge.
"If we're playing like this on Thursday, we need to go back to the drawing board and change a lot of things," Romar said.

I don't know where we got a candelabrum. But there we were, lighting the candles in the kinara and reciting Swahili words like umoja, ujima, and kujichagulia while my brother poured water from an earthenware jug onto a half-dead plant. We placed whatever fruit we had (apples, oranges, bruised bananas) onto a table festooned with African objets d'art, the kinara, and a small jug of water. For seven nights, we lit a candle and recited one of the Nguzo Saba principles, like nia for faith. The Swahili didn't roll off our tongues, but we liked how it sounded. We performed a libation, pouring liquid from the kikombe cha umoja, or unity cup, into soil in remembrance of our ancestors.
