Rihanna, a Mom in a Year?

Rihanna is now thinking about beginning a family together with her boyfriend, Matt Kemp, a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball player. However, she insists of putting her career on hold as soon as she becomes a mother. She just recently released her new album “Loud” in the top five on Wednesday. Although she admits that she is not yet pregnant, she says she might be a first-time mom in a year.
The pop star claimed that she can be a mother whenever it is right. It can be a year from now, or ten years from now. She says she still has a lot of things to accomplish before she gets kids. She will just know whenever the time is right. She also insisted that she can make a great mother unless her first child is a girl, since her daughter can be really rebellious. “She would be like a bundle of karma”, Rihanna said.
Rihanna is also thinking about where she would like to raise her family. She wants to go home to Barbados, but for her this might be a far dream. She surely can’t live that far with her kids because of her demanding schedule.
She has sold over 15 million albums and 45 million singles around the world. She made nine number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 since her first appearance on the chart on June 11, 2005. This is by far the greatest hits done by any artist during that span of time. As of July 23, 2010, Rihanna has sold approximately 5,563,000 album units in the US. But then, can Rihanna make a fantastic hit as a mom?

Hanley Ramirez, the All-Star shortstop of the Florida Marlins, had a little problem recently with working to earn his stellar paycheck. According to Baseball Reference, Ramirez is in the middle of a six-year, $70 million contract, which apparently is not enough to motivate him to run after ground balls in the field, claims USA Today. Not only that, but “Han-Ram” (not to be confused with the Los Angeles Dodgers’ “Man-Ram,” Manny Ramirez) is refusing to apologize to Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez and teammates for his embarrassing on-field display.
Has Hanley Ramirez lost respect for his manager?
Gonzalez pulled the pouting superstar after the second inning of the game in which he was struck in the ankle by a line drive. He did this because Ramirez showed lackadaisical effort in attempting to retrieve the ball after the carom. If this website showed the same lack of drive when it comes to showing people how to get a personal loan, it would be out of business.
“It’s his team. He can do whatever he [expletive] wants,” Ramirez told the Palm Beach Post. But Gonzalez put it this way: “He got smoked with the ball in the ankle … but whether he’s hurt or not hurt, we felt like the effort wasn’t there that we wanted. There are 24 guys out there, busting their butts.” Hanley Ramirez may have been in pain, but he also quit on the play, according to Gonzalez. Thus, Gonzalez decided that his star needed to take the Marlins’ following game off, to stew in his juices and perhaps learn that he isn’t bigger than his team or the game.
‘We got a lot of people dogging it after ground balls. They don’t apologize.’
That was the justification Hanley Ramirez gave the media — that a lot of people don’t give it their all to go after a ground ball. That level of personal inspiration and accountability is just underwhelming. Han-Ram’s ‘tude would fit right in at a luncheon with representatives of BP, Transocean and Haliburton, for all the avoidance that’s going on here. Not only does Hanley Ramirez not feel that he has to apologize, he claims that he respects everybody, even if he doesn’t “get the same respect back.” Clearly the ground ball to the ankle has affected the shortstop’s mind, because he isn’t showing respect to those teammates who gave their sweat and blood to make the Majors and he certainly isn’t showing respect to his team that wants to win or the fans that pay their hard-earned pennies to be able to attend games.
Hanley, you won’t get respect unless you show respect.

Airlines Face Continued Disruptions From Iceland Volcano
More than half of Europe’s regularly scheduled commercial flights were expected to remain grounded Friday and many of the regions busiest airline routes will be closed until Saturday, as the fallout from a volcanic eruption in Iceland continued, leaving thousands of travelers stranded and impacting global trade.
Airlines across the world were affected, with Eurocontrol, the 38-country agency in Brussels that coordinates European flights, estimating that only 11,000 flights will take place Friday in European airspace, compared with 28,000 flights on an average day. About 100 trans-Atlantic flights arrived of the 300 typically expected.
Air-traffic problems shifted Friday as the clouds of ash were blown across Europe. While limited airspace was reopened in Scotland, Ireland and Sweden, air-traffic controllers began to close down airspace in Germany, the Czech Republic and Bulgaria.
The U.K.’s National Air Traffic Control Service said it would restrict flying until 1 a.m. Saturday “at the earliest,” extending a ban that had spread across Europe as the volcano’s ash cloud drifted south.
Many of Europe’s busiest passenger and cargo aircraft faced a second day of closure Friday, though the weekend could give operators an opportunity to reposition aircraft and staff if the flying ban is lifted.
A volcano under Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull glacier erupted Wednesday for the second time in a month, spewing clouds up to 30,000 feet into the air. Aircraft travel at altitudes up to 35,000 feet.
Volcanic ash is a significant safety threat to aircraft, and the cloud has spread across one of the busiest travel and trade routes in the world, forcing the closure of many of the region’s key gateways, from Norway to France.
“In general, the situation cannot be said to be improving with any certainty as the forecast affected area appears to be closing in from east to west,” NATS said Friday on its Web site. “We continue to work closely with airports, airlines and the rest of Europe to understand and mitigate the implications of the volcanic eruption.”
Ashley Steel, who heads transport and infrastructure at KPMG, said the longer the disruptions continue, the harder it will be to clear the backlog of passengers on any spare capacity that may have existed on flights.
“Airlines will incur their biggest losses in the trans-Atlantic business passenger category; the impact on economy class revenues is likely to be diluted because people will change their bookings and eventually still fly,” she said. “However, the bottom line is, for an airline like [British Airways], every day of their fleet being grounded is likely to cost tens of millions of pounds.”
Ms. Steel added that some businesses such as rental-car firms, ferries, trains and hotels would benefit for the disruptions to air travel. Eurostar said seats were still available on Saturday and Sunday, but tickets for Friday sold out Thursday evening.

Phillies Dodgers Game 4, They were one out of defeat. A moment later, Jimmy Rollins put the Fightin Phils’ at a World Series victory.
