WASHINGTON — President Obama and the leaders of Pakistan and Afghanistan, setting aside months of friction, committed themselves again Wednesday to their faltering joint effort against Taliban and al-Qaida extremists.

After a day of talks, Obama said he was satisfied that the leaders "fully appreciate the seriousness of the threats we face, and have reaffirmed their commitment to confronting it."
The president also moved to quell any doubts about U.S. support for the two embattled leaders, Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Afghan President Hamid Karzai, saying U.S. backing would not waver.

Despite the nearly three years since their last album dropped, Evanescence has been awarded Platinum and Gold certification by the RIAA, a recording industry association, for the 2003 single "My Immortal" in digital form, with more then 500,000 sold, and the digital single "Call Me When You're Sober" has been certified platinum (more than a million sold.)

So perhaps it's a good time to review this fantastic band's output.

Hip-Hop Artist, Rick Ross, dropped his new album last month. The highly anticipated album, "Deeper than Rap" is considered to have "restaged the rapper's self image" said The New York
Times. In addition, one of the purposes of Deeper than Rap is to diss fellow rapper, 50 Cent, in an on going battle amongst the two to raise the expectations of Rap and top the music charts.
