Raymond Burse, interim president of Kentucky State University, elected to have his salary decreased from $349,869 to $259,745 in order to boost the paychecks of the university’s lowest-paid workers,according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.
Burse’s pay cut will increase the salaries of 24 KSU employees, some of whom were making as little as $7.25 an hour, to $10.25 an hour, WLKY reported. Burse said that his giving up $90,124.96 is a response to “tough times” and wanting to ensure that university workers know the school’s board and president “care about them and want to do the very best by them,” according to the Herald-Leader.
Now that’s what’s up! More people need to be like him. I very rarely get to report you guys good and humane things that are going on in the world. I couldn’t pass up this opertunity to share what Mr. Burse did. What a guy…I’m sure his staff member really do appreciate the sacrifice he made to help make their lives better.
Common side effects of Parkinson’s usually include headache, flu-like symptoms, feeling dizzy, constipation and dry mouth.
But for one woman, the symptoms were extremely different.
According to reports:
But after seven days, the Turkish woman began experiencing rather more unusual ones – hyperarousal and increased libido, LiveScience reports.
This was triggering three to five orgasms a day, lasting between five and 20 seconds each time.
By the 10th day, the woman was so distressed, she was admitted to hospital.
In a case report, to be published in the journal Parkinsonism and Related Disorders, the doctors who treated her wrote: ‘To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of this adverse effect of rasagiline.’
Why the spontaneous orgasms occurred isn’t clear – but one theory is the raised levels of dopamine that rasagiline causes.
The woman had not been taking any other medication, and she did not experience any other bizarre symptoms related to the use of the drug, according to the report from the medics at the department of neurology at Necmettin Erbakan University in Konya, Turkey.
When she stopped taking the drug, the symptoms stopped.But the orgasms began again 15 days later when she resumed the course, forcing her to abandon it.
It’s not clear why the spontaneous orgasms occurred – but one theory is the raised levels of dopamine that rasagiline causes.
This is because dopamine is a neurotransmitter that activates the body’s reaction to sexual pleasure, the researchers say.
In their case report, they mention another bizarre case concerning the drug – a man who suffered from spontaneous ejaculation.
The episodes continued even when the dose of rasagiline dropped by half, but stopped when the 65-year-old ceased taking the drug.
He also reported a better sex life when he did want to have intercourse, according to the report in the journal Movement Disorders.
Damn I know alot of woman that would be happy of the side effects of that drug. LOL!
Beyonce, Jay Z’s ‘On the Run’ Tour Banks $100 Million Now that the tour is over…the numbers are in.
Despite messy breakup rumors hovering over Beyonce and Jay Z’s On the Run trek, the couple will walk away with some serious cash after tonight’s closing show in San Francisco.
According to Billboard.com, the nearly two-month nationwide stadium tour grossed more than $100 million in ticket sales. (As previously reported, they will perform again in Paris on Sept. 12 and 13, with those shows being filmed for an upcoming HBO special.)
Omar Al-Joulani, vice-president of North American touring for Live Nation, said the tour sold at more than 90 percent capacity, disproving earlier rumors of struggling ticket sales.
Al-Joulani declined to comment on speculation about the state of the couple’s six-year marriage, saying he hasn’t read anything about it, but said the success of the tour means “everybody’s winning.”
Indeed, the show takes in more than $5.2 million per night, and the “Drunk in Love” duo fill nearly 45,000 seats a performance, on average.
“These shows sold tremendously well at the end,” said Al-Joulani, noting that ticket sales typically spiked in the days just preceding a show. “It was a very successful tour, and we’re pleased to have that big gross number at the end.”
The tour also stands out for how quickly it came together – an extra-impressive feat considering the pair were on the road for much of last year. Most shows are planned a year or more in advance, but Al-Joulani said this one “came together quite quickly, around mid-March. By April, we had everything together.”
He said the popularity of the couple demanded the production be “epic,” and elements of the live show included a moving high-def screen, pyrotechnics and hydraulic lifts. Buzz from the couple’s high-concept trailer for the tour also helped to generate interest, Al-Joulani said.
However, the success of the tour ultimately came down to the live performances, which Al-Joulani said the duo dazzlingly delivered.
“These events are driven by content and demand, and being dramatic and creative and putting out content people want to see,” he said. “The two of them are as about creative as you can get, and it was pretty brilliant to watch them work. The show itself is spectacular.”
You know it’s a damn shame that entertainers are making as much as they do and what do they give back. They were blessed with their talents from God to share with the world but for them to be able to profit so much from those God given talent and not use the money that they earn for a good cause ought to be a crime. I’m not saying they have to give it all away but damn $100 million is alot of bread! I’m Not just attacking Beyonce and Jay Z. I’m speaking in general. It’s sad to me. The rich get richer while us poor stay poor and die still broke and our families have to scuffle to pay for our funerals. This world just saddens me. A friend of mine posted this to her Facebook timeline yesterday it was so true I had to share it with you all.
Jay Z’s Rumored Sidepiece Records ‘Sorry Mrs. Carter’ The woman tabloids swear is Jay Z’s mistress is finally addressing all of the unsubstantiated reports and unnamed sources with a new song and video, titled “Sorry Mrs. Carter.”
The song from rapper Liv doubles down on her insistence that Jay Z has a wandering eye that definitely landed on her…and for that, she is sorry.
Borrowing from the chorus of Outkast’s “Ms. Jackson,” she sings: “Sorry Mrs. Carter, this is for real.”Liv claims she and Jay only “connected on some hip hop s**t” and nothing more. At one point, she raps: “F**k f**king to the top, me and Jay never screwed.”
She begins the song by alluding to Beyonce’s rap remix of “Flawless,” saying, “You know what, I was gonna respect you. But since you crossed over into my lane, time to check you.”
“Your man,” she continues, “he likes model chicks. He likes all-naturally-flawless model chicks, like me.”
Elsewhere, she appears to go after both Bey (for failing to keep Jay’s groupies in line) and Jay (for failing to keep Bey in line), rapping: “Why don’t you tell these girls how to be wives? Why don’t you tell these girls how to act around yo’ husband?”Liv also gets in her share of references to Jay Z and Beyonce songs. Here are just five mentioned in the track:
• “The man? He likes model chicks. He likes all naturally flawless model chicks, like me.”
• “Jigga man, I don’t care if you rap, you got to R-E-S-P-E-C-T.”
• “You got 99 problems, I’m not tryin’ to be one.”
• “Girls can’t run the world fightin’ over men, all my single ladies better keep in mind when them those tables turn you gon’ be the wife.”
• “You out here tellin’ them how to serfbort. Come on, now. Serfborts. Monica Lewinsky. You a married woman.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLbs1m9M5UM&feature=player_detailpage
This chick right here is definitely throwing shade on King Bey. I don’t know what her purpose was but she goes through alot of stuff and contradicts herself. I think she should have just stayed where she was at and kept her mouth closed. If you’s a side piece you need to stay in your lane and be conscious of your position.Regardless of if she actually slept with Jay or not all she wouldn’t ever been is a piece of azz…a THOT! He wouldn’t have left his wife for her.She ain’t got nothing on Bey. She’s not as pretty as her and Bey even flows better then this chick and she ain’t even a rapper she’s a singer. In my best Kevin Hart voice “Stay in ya own lane”Did Drake Insinuate Rihanna is the Devil? Drake is out here straight trippin’ over former girlfriend Rihanna and we’re going to need him to pull it together.
Earlier this week, the Young Money rapper performed “Days In The East,” using a fiery image of Ri Ri on the jumbotron as he sang the lyrics, “Why you keep askin’ me about her? She’s not here right now, she’s not here right now.” The number “6” flashed across the screen giving fans the illusion of 6-6-6. And you know what that stands for! (We’re getting goosebumps just thinking about it). We don’t want to entertain the Illuminati rumors, but Drake is certainly playing with the fire.
In case you don’t remember (or erased it from your memory), Ri Ri and Drake dated for a short time back in March. Their relationship ended abruptly with no explanation.
Well we’ve all her the rumor that Rhianna was in the Illuminati but hell who ain’t in the music industry anymore! Drake definitely put her on blast with his imagery but I think he was calling her out more so over his bitterness from their break up then anything else. But I don’t know the way she be putting them spells on all the Hollywood boys I’d be more willing to say she’s got that vodoo magic goin on in her draws. SMDH! Is There A Future In This Relationship? It seems like everyone is having relationship difficulties these days. Rapper Future and his fiancee Ciara, who just had a baby, are on the Relationship Death Watch lately because although they were seen together all the time before the birth of their son, Future, as of late, they’re never seen together.
Speculation only increased this week when photos of Cici and their son vacationing in Ibiza surfaced and Future wasn’t there.
Little Future is Future, Sr.’s fourth child, so many onlookers wondered whether or not Ciara would even make it to the altar with him in the first place. The rapper, signed to Epic Records released his second project Honest in April. Its big hit “Move That Dope” includes versus by Pusha T, Pharrell and Casino.
Ciara self-titled project dropped in 2013. The video for the single “Body Party” featured a cameo from Future. Click over to peep the pics.
Damn, I sure hope they haven’t split up already! I really wanted them to make it. Maybe Future couldn’t go on vaca because he had to work. I don’t know but with the pictures I posted the other day with him and his stylist together on a beach it really does make you wonder what’s goin on in their relationship. All I know is I hope that everything’s all good for them for the sake of their baby.
