The collective worth of the 400 richest people fell by $300 billion, or 19%, to $1.27 trillion, according to the survey released by Forbes magazine.
As a result, the price of admission to appear on the list this year dropped to $950 million from $1.3 billion in the 2008 list.

Delonte West's absence from practice dims mood
West hit a new low Tuesday on the first day of training camp, skipping both of the team's workouts. The absences were unexcused and caught the team off-guard after West reported to Monday's media day. It has now left the Cavs immersed in a gray area of how to proceed with their talented but troubled guard.
"Delonte is in Cleveland," Cavs General Manager Danny Ferry said in a statement. "He is addressing a personal matter and did not attend practice."
According to a source, West was in his home for the day and did not leave to come to practice. There was no indication whether West was planning on coming to today's workouts.

Apple Tablet To Redefine Newspapers, Textbooks and Magazines

Cleveland State President Ronald Berkman ready to move into new digs, after $200,000 in renovations
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Cleveland State University President Ronald Berkman will move into the university's new presidential residence on Thursday, now that about $200,000 in renovations are complete.
The Shaker Heights home, purchased for $808,000 in June by the CSU Foundation, is being leased to the university. It pays for Berkman's housing as part of his employment contract.
The upgrades include a new kitchen, renovation of two bathrooms and a sprinkler system.
Berkman, who started work in mid-July, has been staying at a Beachwood apartment rented by the university during the renovations.
Some of the work at the Shaker Heights house was aimed at making it more handicapped-accessible and comfortable for guests at university functions hosted by the president.
That could explain the Kohler "Memoirs" toilet with Glenbury Quiet-Close seat, listed at $998 on the Kohler Web site. The work done to raise the ceilings in the kitchen and master bathroom, along with the 72-inch by 36-inch soaking tub, may better accommodate the 6'4" Berkman.
Senior U.S. official holds talks in Cuba
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A senior American diplomat had high-level talks with the Cuban government in Havana, the State Department said Tuesday.
Bisa Williams, acting deputy assistant secretary, met this week with Deputy Foreign Minister Dagoberto Rodriguez during a six-day trip to Cuba, Assistant Secretary P.J. Crowley said.
Williams was in Havana to meet with Cuban officials about restoring direct mail service between Cuba and the United States. Crowley said she extended her stay to meet with Cuban officials and members of Cuban civil service about various issues, including ongoing migration talks.

One Nike iD that has been in anticipation of it’s return is the Air Max 1 iD. With dates of the return scheduled for June, then moved to September, Air Max 1 fans have been befuddled to say the least. Well, rejoice as we have the scoop on the date, new premium materials, shape and why the delay…
Grab, flip and mark your calendar to November 15, 2009. This date will be for both in store and online iD. The premium materials heading to this shoe are suede, a splatter midsole, the good Ol’ Mesh and the return of an option that hasn’t been in the iD studio in over 4 years, 3M. Whether the suede is a LUXE, synthetic or similar to what’s on the Air Max 1 “West – Red” is unknown at this time. The splatter may be something similar to the recent Nike Air Max 1 “Lanceiro – Brazil”. Keep in mind that some of these materials may change as the date gets closer.
So why the delay? Nike closed down the factory that was responsible for the original manufacturing of the Air Max 1 iD. No clue as to the reason but something will change. Something that fans have been expressing dissatisfaction with. Expect the shape to change for the iDs. This could be a good thing or a bad thing. Whether its going to be like the recent Air Max 1 releases or a new revised shape of the same, is up in the air (no pun intended).
The date is pretty solid but you never know if Nike decides to change it again. Just look at their recent shoe release schedules. Most shoes have come out really early or have changed to really late. Let’s hope this iD stays to this date.Nike: All Access Lair Backpack
**SICK PACK!!!**
If you thought Paparazzi backpack had a lot of compartments, it doesn’t have anything on the All Access Lair Backpack. With tons of storage space this nylon woven bag is sure to last you for years to come. Retailing for $100 at Standard Peachtree.

Life in NYC: How To Make It In America
You may or may not have heard of this show, either by way of Kid Cudi or just entertainment news in general - but it recently started shooting a little behind schedule. I've already seen the initial pilot, which they shot last Fall in Manhattan and Brooklyn (I think), and I know it'll appeal to a hip hop crowd. It has a lot to do with the come up, the every day grind and like the title says, 'How to Make It in America.'
FYI if you haven't already realized, Kid Cudi aka Scott Mescudi plays the character, "Domingo Green." Below is a rundown I jacked from another site:
The pay cable network has greenlighted a comedy pilot from Stephen Levinson's Leverage and Mark Wahlberg's Closest to the Hole.
Penned by Ian Edelman, "How to Make It" revolves around three enterprising downtown twentysomethings who hustle their way through New York City determined to achieve the American dream.
"These guys don't want to wait for things to happen, they make them happen," Levinson said. "That's the attitude of this generation, which Ian represents very well."
"This show is a fun ride through the downtown scene, examining the cross section of people and how they relate to the relevant subcultures in NYC," said Weiss, who is exec producing the pilot with Edelman, Wahlberg and Levinson.
"How to Make It" joins a busy pilot slate at HBO that includes "Hung" and "Bored to Death" as well as recently picked-up "Treme," "The Washingtonienne" and "Boardwalk Empire."

Michelle Obama vows to strike Olympic gold for Chicago
"It's a battle -- we're going to win -- take no prisoners," the first lady said with a smile at a roundtable discussion with reporters in the White House State Dining Room.
She compared the intense lobbying effort to the 2008 presidential campaign, noting that in the election campaign, a lot of voters made their decision in the final days. She said members of the International Olympic Committee may do the same.
Suspect admits role in beating death of Chicago teen (R.I.P. Derrion Albert)
CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- One of the suspects accused of killing an honor student in a beating captured on tape in Chicago has admitted to jumping on the victim's head after he was already lying on the ground, said a spokeswoman for the Cook County State's Attorney.
In the videotaped confession, 19-year-old Silvanus Shannon also said that the victim, Derrion Albert, 16, never struck him, said the spokeswoman, Tandra Simonton.
Three teens arrested in Albert's death -- Silvanus Shannon, 19; Eric Carson, 16; and Eugene Riley, 18 -- were seen on the videotape attacking Albert, and were charged with first degree murder and held without bail, Simonton said. Monday night authorities said they charged a fourth suspect, 17-year-old Eugene Bailey, with murder.

Shaq is realistic & gives Cleveland Cavaliers fans big reason to be optimistic
That tact from the team's biggest off-season addition should give the team's fans plenty of reason to be optimistic as the Cavs begin two-a-day practices Tuesday morning.
Coming off an All-Star season, most believe the future Hall of Famer O'Neal still has some gas left to help the Cavs over the postseason hump and to their first NBA championship. The biggest variable other than O'Neal's health is whether he can coexist with the resident Most Valuable Player, LeBron James.
O'Neal did his best to put that to rest at the team's annual media day Monday, putting himself and his brand-new role in stark perspective.

Obama to make in-person pitch for 2016 Olympics in Chicago
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will travel to Denmark to support Chicago's bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics, projecting the highest-ever White House profile in lobbying for the international event.
Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to the president, told The Associated Press this morning that Obama will leave Thursday and join his wife, Michelle, in Copenhagen, where they'll make the pitch to the International Olympic Committee. Obama would be the first U.S. president to actually appeal in person to the International Olympic Committee for an Olympics event.
The International Olympic Committee is meeting in Copenhagen to select a host city for the 2016 Summer Games. Chicago faces tough competition from Rio de Janeiro, Madrid and Tokyo.

Million $ Mano Featured in CS's Men's Book
Mano gets featured in this month's CS Men's Book. This is a good look for Emmanuel - props, homie.
If there’s a lesson to be gleaned from the wildly successful, and just wild, career path of Emmanuel Nickerson, AKA Million $ Mano, it might be: Work like crazy and try everything. Mano left Columbia College after curating an art show with Lupe Fiasco-visual art was his first passion-that took him on a tour through Asia. At the same time, he was honing his DJ skills. After making a name for himself in the city’s club scene, Mano, 25, began working the turntables for British rap star M.I.A., as well as his cousin, rapper Hollywood Holt-that is, when he’s not performing with his own band, He Say, She Say, with singer-lyrcist Drea Smith. Taken together, Mano has played everything from Kanye West’s Glow in the Dark tour to Coachella to the Marc Jacobs show at fashion week. “Whatever I’m doing is my focus,” he says. “But as soon as one thing slows down something else picks up. I think it’s the best way to stay relevant.”

GO BUY Kid Cudi's Album IN STORES NOW!!!
The only thing we are focused on this week is SUPPORTING KID CUDI... His album "Man on the Moon: The End of Day" is already getting AMAZING reviews. And conceptually is a masterpiece.
I highly recommend everyone gets a physical copy of the Album...
TODAY IS THE BIG DAY!!!
Side Note: I really hope CLEVELAND in particular WAKES UP and SUPPORT Cudi... I KNOW, he will do well world-wide. But we as Clevelanders need to really show out and support the Kid... We have a problem embracing entertainment because it not apart of our economy/everyday life like it is via. Chicago, ATL, NYC, LA, ect.
