Do You Believe R. Kelly’s Brother?

Carey Kelly has resurfaced in a new low-budget DVD in which he puts forth a number of allegations against his more famous brother. Chief among them, Carey says R. offered him $50,000, a record deal and a house if he would perjure himself on the witness stand. Previously Carey had expressed concern when he heard that his resemblance to his brother might be used as a defense strategy to cast doubt that it was really the singer on the tape (see “R. Kelly’s Brother: I Support Him But Won’t Take The Fall”).
“I got a call about a year and a half ago,” Carey says on the Drahma Magazine-produced DVD, which was first available on MediaTakeOut.com and was released Tuesday. “My brother wanted me to do some sh– pertaining to this case that would leave me behind bars with a record deal. It doesn’t make sense, so I turned it down. … Since I couldn’t lie for him in a court of law, we’re back to beefing again, and we ain’t brothers no more.”
Carey elaborated on New York radio station Hot 97’s Friday morning show, saying R. made the offer while the two were in a hot tub, ostensibly so the singer could be sure his younger brother wasn’t wearing a wire. Even though he was alternately living in an abandoned building and sleeping in his car at the time, the offer of money and fame “was not worth it to me,” Carey said. “I’d rather get it on my own than sell my soul, so that’s why I’m speaking the truth.”
Carey also claims that R. abuses his wife (see “R. Kelly, Wife Separate — Petition For Restraining Order Tells Of Alleged Abuse”), tried to molest their other brother’s daughter and molested their 12-year-old second cousin. And if those claims weren’t enough, Carey also says R. is bisexual (”He in the closet for real,” Carey said on Hot 97).
“This is not the first time Carey has made ridiculous accusations against his brother,” an R. Kelly spokesperson said. “We’re not going to dignify them with a comment.”
A source close to the singer said Carey’s accusations are “frustrating” because “R. Kelly doesn’t want to go after him publicly.” But the source said R. considers Carey to be “troubled guy with lots of problems who’s mouthing off.”
Carey says all his claims can be proven. But Carey’s credibility might be called into question for a number of reasons — most of them self-admitted. One, he just got out of jail for theft. Two, he clearly holds a grudge against his brother and says he believes the singer has prevented him from having a successful music career of his own. Even though he contributed to a few tracks on R.’s 1993 record, 12 Play, Carey says he hasn’t received any royalties. “I never asked for a handout, but pay me for what I do,” he told Hot 97. Carey says he also believes that his brother got him blacklisted by the music industry.
“Why are people feeling sorry for [R.]?” Carey asked. “Saying that the girl’s lying and that’s why he caught the case? He caught the case because that’s God’s way of waking him up. What you put out there comes back. It’s called karma. But I’m not trying to say anything that’s going to put him behind bars. I just wish that people that supposedly love him really reach out to him and say, ‘You need help, man.’ He’s sick and he needs help.”
R. Kelly’s child-pornography case proceeds in a Chicago court April 7.

please Yahoo can we have these two concepts as additional sub categories under Environment
No 1 = a subcategory for ECOLOGY,many people would like to see that as they feel it is a seperate concept,
No 2 = PERMACULTURE & SUSTAINABILITY.
Permaculture means permanent agriculture ,
a concept formulated in the 60ties by Bill Mollison ,
And it entails alternative strategies for a Nation,
Soil conservation,
Waterharvesting,Aquaculture,
Dryland strategies,Precipitacion,
Mulching & Composting,Organic pest control,
Environmental design in Architecture as well as Earthworks,
Alternative energies(i.e bio-degraders),
Bio-diversity & companion planting (guilds),
agro-forestal and much more it cover all climatic conditions .

Believe it or not a Conservative man strapped on an assault rifle to himself and went to an Obama speech.
Democrats could not buy this advertising for all the money they had! This is too good and when worked into 2010 election campaign ads I am sure we can take most independents into the camp of the party of “sanity”. I can see it already they are going to go with the “let the cooler heads prevail” strategy and run away with that. Is America starting to associate some of these”extremists” or radical Right wing-nuts with the Republicn party?
Will this guy with the assault rifle be the next Makaka for Conservatives?

8 steps in research process on leadership communication
1.) Identify research problems
Leadership communication play significant role in organizational success.
Leaders who have poor communication skills bring various negative outcomes to an
organization.
2.) Establish research goals
We would like to know how leadership communication impact employee
performances.
3.) Decide research strategies
In this research study, we decide to use qualitative research as our research
strategy. Our focus is to understand the behavior and relationship between bosses and employees in the organization. Our goal is to construct a concrete explanation of the actors’ behavior.
4.) Prepare research plans
We want to find out how leadership communication impact employee
performances. First, we identify our research problems and establish our research objectives. Second, we decide research questions and hypothesis. Third, we gather data and information. Fourth, we analyze and data. Fifth, we interpret and test the result (decide to accept and reject the hypothesis). Finally, we present our finding.
5.) Conduct literature review
We collect our information from various sources. Our primary sources are
organization websites, memoranda, employee evaluations. Our secondary sources are books, journals, articles, newspapers.
6.) Gather and Collect data
We conduct phone interview and survey to 50 employees in the organization.
Then, we put our data in aggregate format.
7.) Analyze and Interpret data
We analyze and interpret the data. We also test our hypotheses. We decided to
accept our hypotheses.
8.) Prepare and present data
We found that leadership communication does impact employee performances.
Poor leadership communication decrease productivities, increase absenteeism, turnover, and deviant behavior in the organization.
