Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau (Center) has been in several recent videos despite claims he was dead

(Reuters) - Gunmen from Islamist group Boko Haram shot or burned to death 59 pupils in a boarding school in northeast Nigeria overnight, a hospital official and security forces said on Tuesday.
"Some of the students' bodies were burned to ashes," Police Commissioner Sanusi Rufai said of the attack on the Federal Government college of Buni Yadi, a secondary school in Yobe state, near the state's capital city of Damaturu.
Bala Ajiya, an official at the Specialist Hospital Damaturu, told Reuters by phone the death toll had risen to 59.
"Fresh bodies have been brought in. More bodies were discovered in the bush after the students who had escaped with bullet wounds died from their injuries," he said.
Rafai, who had given an earlier estimate of 29 killed, said all those killed were boys. He said the school's 24 buildings, including staff quarters, were completely burned to the ground.
President Goodluck Jonathan called the attack "callous and senseless murder ... by deranged terrorists and fanatics who have clearly lost all human morality and descended to bestiality".
Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan
The Islamists, whose struggle for an Islamic state in northern Nigeria has killed thousands and made them the biggest threat to security in Africa's top oil producer, are increasingly preying on the civilian population.
Boko Haram
Militants from Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sinful" in the northern Hausa language, have frequently attacked schools in the past. A similar attack in June in the nearby village of Mamudo left 22 students dead.
They have killed more than 300 people this month, mostly civilians, including in two attacks last week that killed around 100 each, one in which militants razed a whole village and shot panicked residents as they tried to flee.
That attack prompted U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to condemn Boko Haram for "unspeakable ... acts of terror".
The failure of the military to protect civilians is fuelling anger in the northeast, the region worst affected by the four-and-a-half-year insurgency. An offensive ordered by Jonathan in May has not succeeded in crushing the rebels and has triggered reprisals against civilians.
A military spokesman for Yobe state, Captain Lazarus Eli, said "our men are down there in pursuit of the killers", but gave no further details.
Addressing a news conference on Monday, Jonathan defended the military's record, saying it had had some successes against Boko Haram. He said Nigeria was working with the Cameroon authorities to try to prevent militants from mounting attacks in Nigeria and then fleeing over the border.
The military shut the northern part of the border with Cameroon on the weekend.
The insurgents mostly occupy the remote, hilly Gwoza area bordering Cameroon, from where they attack civilians they accuse of being pro-government. They have started abducting girls, a new tactic reminiscent of Uganda's cult-like Lord's Resistance Army in decades past.

Former Shady/Aftermath artist Stat Quo recently sat down with HipHopDX to break down being independent vs being on a major label and explains why 50 Cent's departure from Interscope was a smart move.
On the advantages of being independent
You can put your own music on iTunes. iTunes takes 30% of it. That means essentially they sell it for $9.99. You're getting $7.00. Even if you go through an indy online distributor. Let's say they take 20% and you get 80% of it, you're still winning. So, if I sell a CD... say I just put it on iTunes. I'm getting $7.00 in my pocket for every CD I sell. Whereas if you go through a [major] label, they give you a dollar. Some change? A label is only good at building your brand to where you can go all over the world, and be who you are.
On why 50 Cent made the right move to ink a deal Caroline/Capitol/UMG.
50 Cent is who he is. What he's doing is very intelligent. Because that brand is solidified. Eventually it's just a natural progression. He's as big as he's gonna get under [Interscope]. At this time, it's time to do something else with his career. How long is he going to stay under Eminem and Dre? At a certain point it's like, 'I'm my own boss.' He's been his own boss for a long time, but truly your own sh*t. He's looking at Jay and Puffy and he's like, 'I made just as much money as them, why would I not put my own shit out?' Everybody knows 50 Cent.

Paula Patton and Robin Thicke have split up after 9 years of marriage. The two issed a statement announcing their separation to People.com.
"We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time,"
Thicke was involved in a couple of controversial moments with other females on the night of the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.
The first involved his performance with Miley Cyrus at the show, where she twerked on him and used a foam finger to touch his private parts.
Then at a VMA after party he snapped a photo with a blonde women. In it his hand can be seen grabbing her butt.
Who knows if those incidents played a factor into the couple's split, but I'm sure they didn't help.
**UPDATE** February 27
Paula Patton initially tried to hide her embarrassment after her husband's 2013 MTV Video Music Award performance with Miley Cyrus.
The actress gave a couple of interviews saying she wasn't surprised at what she saw, and that Robin and Miley had practiced their routine days in advance of the August 25, 2013 show
"Honestly, they rehearsed for three days beforehand, and I don't know how not to dance with someone having their booty in your...all my friends do it like that," Paula said during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, in September 2013. "And I don't really know what the big deal is."
Turns out it was a really big deal. According to TMZ, Miley improvised the raunchy part of the routine and Robin just went with the flow.
Paula felt "utterly disrespected" watching Robin let Miley grind on his crotch in front of a national television audience.
Things got worse when the photo of Robin grabbing a female fan's butt at the after party surfaced. The couple argued constantly after the incidents until Paula finally decided to end their marriage.

NFL to Penalize On-Field Use of Racial Slurs, Forgets "Redskin" Is a Racial Slur http://t.co/B7UYHAjge3 | cc @EdgeofSports @ChrisWarcraft

The NFL is preparing to implement a rule banning the use of the n-word in games. The first time a players uses it and is caught by a referee a 15-year penalty will be assessed. If the same player is caught using it a second time he will be ejected from the game.
Implementation of the rule is being strongly pushed for by the Fritz Pollard Alliance, an organization that "promotes diversity and equality of job opportunity in the coaching, front office and scouting staffs of National Football League teams."
It's expected to be adopted by the NFL competition committee at March’s owners meetings.
“I will be totally shocked if the competition committee does not uphold us on what we’re trying to do,” said John Wooten, chairman of the Fritz Pollard Alliance. “We want this word to be policed from the parking lot to the equipment room to the locker room. Secretaries, PR people, whoever, we want it eliminated completely and want it policed everywhere.”
There's been no mention of any other racial slurs being banned. Some players aren't sure if the word can be policed. Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark told ESPN it will be difficult.
Ryan Clark
"I think it's going to be really tough to legislate this rule, to find a way to penalize everyone who uses this word," Ryan said. "And it's not going to be white players using it toward black players. Most of the time you hear it, it's black players using the word."
Fans don't get it either. In an ESPN SportNation poll, nearly 52,000 sports enthusiasts voted. 61% of them didn't think the NFL should adopt this rule.
What are your thoughts?
