Notorious B.I.G. once rhymed, "There’s rules to this stuff. I wrote me a manual." Though it applied to a different type of game, Christopher Wallace was on to something. Now that the 2012 NFL Draft is over, many players will need a guide to keep them out of the gossip blogs, tabloids, and bankruptcy courts. We’ve seen so many athletes come into the NFL broke and leave in the same way. It’s a cycle we must stop. So, before these athletes get caught up, perhaps they should read The Five Draft Commandments.

I’ve been involved in the Republican Party for most of my adult life and continue to be amazed at the lack of interest the party shows toward the Black community. Those who have followed my writings over the years know that I have been extremely critical of the party regarding this issue. But, I have been even more critical of the individuals the party chooses to showcase as the face of Black Republicans. I find many of these individuals to be an embarrassment to me as a person of color, as well as to the Republican brand. Many of the Black faces that are trotted out in front of the cameras have absolutely no connection to the Black community. Despite public perception there are Black Republicans who possess both political and policy expertise that the party could and should tap in to. They exemplify the best of Republican values and thoroughly understand the need for the party to be more diverse. Here are some influential Black Republicans that most folks have never heard of but should. —Raynard Jackson

Your partner has more than one, two, three, four…bank accounts: ATM’s are a source of major convenience, but they can also be a telltale sign of financial ineptitude if your date is frequently using them to transfer money between accounts. According to love expert, Guy Lockard a person who can’t oversee his or her expenses from one account may be irresponsible, undisciplined or downright corrupt. “Someone who is posturing their money may not have it all together and are trying to hide or repurpose their money,” he says. “They may do it to control excessive spending habits.” Of course, the worst-case scenario is if the funds they are transferring don’t even belong to them. “They may even have access to someone else’s account or their job expense account and you don’t want to get caught up in that,” he adds.
