CHRISTOPHER LANGAN was born in San Francisco and spent most of his early life in Montana. His mother was the daughter of a wealthy shipping executive but was cut off from her family; his father died or disappeared before he was born. He began talking at six months, taught himself to read before he was four, and was repeatedly skipped ahead in school. But he grew up in poverty and says he was beaten by his stepfather from when he was almost six to when he was about fourteen. By then Langan had begun weight training, and forcibly ended the abuse, throwing his stepfather out of the house and telling him never to return.

Langan says he spent the last years of high school mostly in independent study, teaching himself "advanced math, physics, philosophy, Latin and Greek, all that". His brother recalls that "when Christopher was fourteen or fifteen, he would draw things just as a joke, and it would be like a photograph. When he was fifteen, he could match Jimi Hendrix lick for lick on a guitar."

After earning a perfect score on the SAT Langan attended Reed College and later Montana State University, but faced with finance and transportation problems, and believing that he "could literally teach his professors more than they could teach him", dropped out.

He took a string of labor-intensive jobs, and by his mid-40s had been a construction worker, cowboy, forest service firefighter, farmhand, and for over twenty years, a bouncer on Long Island, New York. He says he developed a "double-life strategy", on one side a regular guy, doing his job and exchanging pleasantries, and on the other side coming home to perform equations in his head, working in isolation on his Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe.

Wider attention came in 1999, when Esquire magazine published a profile of Langan and other members of the high-IQ community. Billing Langan as "the smartest man in America", the article's account of the weight-lifting bouncer and his CTMU "Theory of Everything" sparked a flurry of media interest. Board-certified neuropsychologist Dr. Robert Novelly tested Langan's IQ for 20/20, which reported that Langan broke the ceiling of the test. Novelly was said to be astounded, saying: "Chris is the highest individual that I have ever measured in 25 years of doing this."

Articles and interviews highlighting Langan appeared in Popular Science,The Times, Newsday, Muscle & Fitness (which reported that he could bench press 500 pounds), and elsewhere. Langan was featured on 20/20,interviewed on BBC Radio and on Errol Morris's First Person, and participated in an online chat at ABCNEWS.com. He has written question-and-answer columns for New York Newsday, The Improper Hamptonian, and Men's Fitness.

On January 25, 2008, Langan was a contestant on NBC's game show 1 vs. 100, where he won 250,000.

Today Chris continues to work on an upcoming book soon to be published.

My names Julian DeLeo aka "Jayy". I am from Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. I love my hometown. I am 18 years of age and working hard to make my mark in the music industry!  Music has always been around me and my close friends. Music is something we really like doing and we all have a big passion for the craft. I started writing because I would see people around me in my neighborhood and during my time in school much younger then me rapping and drawing crowds by their talent to ryhme. Just that notion itself set something off inside of me and I knew that I could do the same. So I decided to start writing my very own ryhmes and verses. So I tried both writing and freestyling and people thought it was very good at it. Many have told me to never stop rapping and writing because I have got something special. Whenever I write or freestyle to a crowd, I can really feel the vibe from me and the crowd, or whoever listens to me recite my written ryhmes. It just got better and better so I kept going. I write just about just everyday now. I have big goals and dreams to make it as an artist someday. I really feel that I can make it somewhere with my music. I like being different so being unique only makes it easy for me to keep it original!. Im determinded to be a successful indie artist and possibly discovered for my talent and hard work ethic. I am loyal and keep a tight circle with my friends. I am known for my integrety. I stay socialize openly with my friends and they do the same. They are my squad. We are all headed for success because of our love for one another and our true passion for the music.

                                      I am Julian DeLeo!

WILLIAM BLUM left the State Department in 1967, abandoning his aspiration of becoming a Foreign Service Officer, because of his opposition to what the United States was doing in Vietnam.  He then became one of the founders and editors of the Washington Free Press,  the first “alternative” newspaper in the capital.

Mr. Blum has been a freelance journalist in the United States, Europe and South America.  His stay in Chile in 1972-3, writing about the Allende government’s “socialist experiment” and its tragic overthrow in a CIA-designed coup, instilled in him a personal involvement and an even more heightened interest in what his government was doing in various parts of the world.  In the mid-1970’s, he worked in London with former CIA officer Philip Agee and his associates on their project of exposing CIA personnel and their misdeeds.

His book on U.S. foreign policy, Killing Hope: U.S. Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II, first published in 1995 and updated since, has received international acclaim.  Noam Chomsky called it “far and away the best book on the topic.”

In 1999, he was one of the recipients of Project Censored’s awards for “exemplary journalism” for writing one of the top ten censored stories of 1998, an article on how, in the 1980s, the United States gave Iraq the material to develop a chemical and biological warfare capability.

Blum is also the author of America’s Deadliest Export: Democracy – The Truth About U.S. Foreign Policy and Everything Else (2013), Rogue State: A Guide to the World’s Only superpower (updated edition 2005), West-Bloc Dissident: A Cold War Memoir (2002), and Freeing the World to Death: Essays on the American Empire (2004).  His books have been translated into more than 15 languages.

During 2002-2003, Blum was a regular columnist for the magazine The Ecologist, which is published in London and distributed globally.   In January 2006, a tape from Osama bin Laden stated that “it would be useful” for Americans to read Rogue State, apparently to gain a better
understanding of their enemy.

ABOUT America's Deadliest Export: Democracy by William Blum

For over 65 years, the United States war machine has been on auto pilot. Since World War II, the world has believed that US foreign policy means well, and that America’s motives in spreading democracy are honorable, even noble. In this startling and provocative book from William Blum, one of the United States’ leading non-mainstream chroniclers of American foreign policy and author of the popular online newsletter, Anti-Empire Reports, demonstrates that nothing could be further from the truth.

Moreover, unless this fallacy is unlearned, and until people understand fully the worldwide suffering American policy has caused, we will never be able to stop the monster.

    “A fireball of terse information—one of our best muckrakers.” – Oliver Stone

    “America’s Deadliest Export is a brilliant expose of critically important information about the role of the U.S. in the world - yet that is arguably the least of its virtues. Blum’s book is also passionate when it ought to be passionate, and sober when it ought to be sober. It takes the raw data of international relations and presents it so movingly, so compellingly, and so insightfully, that when it reaches out for us to act - it has put us very much in the mood to do so. Succinct and comprehensive, reasoned and also impassioned, this is a book all should read.” – Michael Albert, co-founder of Znet

    “As in the past, in this remarkable collection Bill Blum concentrates on matters of great current significance, and does not pull his punches. They land, backed with evidence and acute analysis. It is a perspective on the world that Westerners should ponder, and take as a guideline for action.” – Noam Chomsky

    “Coruscating, eye-opening and essential. This is a must-read for anyone rightfully concerned at the destructive influence of the world’s only superpower.” – Cynthia McKinney, Presidential Candidate for the Green Party of the United States

   “William Blum’s America’s Deadliest Export is another in his blockbuster series that has applied the reality and morality principles to work on U.S. foreign policy. This book has vignettes and longish essays on matters running from Conspiracies, Ideology and the Media to Cuba, Iran and Wikileaks. It is brimming with wit and with both laughable and frightening quotations. It is admittedly written for ‘the choir,’ but even the choir needs encouragement as well as facts and analyses that will keep its members from succumbing to a potent propaganda system. And we may hope that choir will grow with books like this that both amuse and enlighten.” – Edward S. Herman, co-author of The Politics of Genocide

    “This book deals with unpleasant subjects yet it is a pleasure to read. Blum continues to provide us with convincing critiques of U.S. global policy in a freshly informed and engaging way.” – Michael Parenti, author of The Face of Imperialism

    “With good cheer and humor Blum guides us toward understanding that our government does not mean well. Once we’ve grasped that, we’re far more capable of effectively doing good ourselves.” – David Swanson, author of  War is a Lie

From Eve, "The Ride or Die Chic", to Foxy Brown, "The Ill Nana", to Trina, "The Baddest Chic", to Lil' Kim, "The Queen Bee", all the way to Nikki Menaj, Nikki Nelson aka Ms. Phat Kat is taking it to next level to join the female superstar status. More than a rapper, her songs and live performances display her dynamic singing voice as well as an awesome array of twerk/hip hop dance moves.

Originally born in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, she moved to Hot Springs and has been reppin’ the Spa city ever since. Nikki’s adventurous life has taken her down roads of street hustlin’, modeling, working 9 to 5, modeling, and attending college at the same time. No matter how tough the journey got, she never lost her love for music.

The buzz stirring from her Facebook page this year is turning into the perfect platform to spring into 2013 with a strong fan base. Although her song “Put It On Me” is a brief introduction, it obvious that her black and creole mixed background influences the way Ms. Phat Kat cooks up her spicy lyrics.

Marcus "Rock Da Don" Murphy CEO of Rocked Up Records and the Young Hogs Family are industry ready and well seasoned. The Young Hogs currently have a movement in the community and indie music scene here in Little Rock Arkansas. This record labels music is Real Country Rap Tunes that will play in your subconscious memory over and over again. Their recent EP release YHF "Soul of the Ghetto" the songs are based on everyday life living in the ghetto.

"Step Up and Stop Bullying Me" was recorded to rally the community to take a stand against bullying at local schools. Bullying is not just a problem with our youths,  but even adults have this issue as well. Just about every part of society today is effected by bullying. This song is only one example of how the Young Hogs are involved with the community, city, state, and the entire country as a whole. The Young Hogs has now join forces with the local Fox 16 News Team with Donna Terrel and Kevin Kelly of the local station there in Little Rock, Arkansas. They have a live interview about their campaign movement and efforts to put a stop to bullying in Arkansas and abroad! The campaign didn't stop there, they have YouTube videos about the song and the campaign with 101.1 FM also.

They have many different performances under there belts. large crowds are no problem for them and they have the record to reflect just that. They also did a live performance before 43,834 combine with a live broadcast with 103 "The Buzz" FM and a live televised segment with Channel 11 THV News during the 2012 Arkansas Razorback vs LSU Tigers and received recognition for the fight song for the team "Umma Hog". The Razorbacks commended them for lifting the teams sports which helped carry them to the Cotton Bowl! Later that year they wrote and produced another fight song for the local North Little Rock High Charging Wildcats Basketball team that won the State Championship Class 7A Division! The name of the song is "We Are The Champions" because of the early season record. They later performed before a packed house of 8,000 to 10,000 fans and spectators at Barton Colisium there in Little Rock.

The Young Hogs Family even did a fight song for the professional native boxer Jermaine Taylor for his 2004 bout with Joppy. They perform their hit song "Bad Intentions" before a packed house at the Barton Coliseum here in Little Rock. Jermaine Taylor won the fight like all the rest they have represented as well. The Young Hogs winners and winners deserve to be on a winning team. They are looking for a label to sign a distribution only contract. They are a ready made product and has sold many underground music locally and nationwide. They have opened up concerts for high profile artist and have had deals on the table also but just didn't like the numbers and terms of the contracts presented in the past.

The Young Hogs are local business owners of a towing service, clothing and appearal outlet, and their label Rocked Up Records here in North Little Rock, Arkansas. Hard working mastered, and well seasoned artist equals only success for anyone who signs them. The Young Hogs album "Still Hoggin" is a new sound for the World of Country Rap tunes! This music is very good riding Rap music tweaked with R&B Soul mixes!!! Throughout their songs are punch line deliveries which are smooth but ratchet when elaborating on their lifestyles as indie artist and personal life experiences.
