NORE -- "Niggaz on the Run Eating" -- will be showing off his thuggery and proving what an infamous Queens, New York, star is all about at MoS tonight. Ghetto superstar wannabe's and groupies know NORE is the real thing because he has the ex-convict credentials to prove it.
NORE started his rap days in prison, where he met Capone and then formed the group Capone-N-Noreaga. But before they could release their debut album Capone was arrested for violating parole and sent back to jail. This didn't stop NORE from finishing what he started, however, and he put out the The War Report, which instantly became a street classic.
NORE released his first solo album in 1998, NORE, with the single Super Thug heading it. His second album was Melvin Flynt -- Da Hustler in 1999. Then, when Capone was released for a second time, they dropped the album The Reunion. In 2002 NORE released another solo album, God's Favorite which infiltrated the pop charts, mainly due to the help of the Neptunes. The "superthug" confirmed his gold status on the US rap scene again last year with the summer banger Oye Mi Canto.

This Saturday at Luxy, the Playboy "talent" DJ Penelope Tuesdae will be dropping by to provide some eye candy and banging tunes. As if this wasn't enough, there will also will be the Taiwan Vestax DJ Competition winner, DJ E-Turn and Taiwan rap group Underground Nation.
The Joint II will also be making a huge return this Saturday at The Source. Clubbers can expect some fresh DJ meat, namely Morley and Jayro. Our good friend ChiFunk will also make his way from Taichung for the event. Marcus Aurelius is expected to pull off another of his sick performances and the man with the musical plan said the music will revolve around house, breaks, electronica, breaks, and even pop. It's an all-you-can-drink affair.
On Saturday Eden will be having a tribute to the recently defunked club Soundgarden. DJ's Zoltan and Pierre will be there to bring back memories of their six hour marathon clubbing sessions. Also Marc Ketz will be performing, and this will be one of his last gigs in Taiwan, so expect the atmosphere to be intense.
If your looking for drum 'n' bass this weekend then try Balanced at J-Pop Cafe (in the same building as Eden) on Saturday. Some breakbeats will also be going down, so if that's your thing, then get down there by 10pm.
That US assistance was a model for Taiwan’s spectacular development success was early recognized by policymakers and analysts. In a report to the US Congress for the fiscal year 1962, former President John F. Kennedy noted Taiwan’s “rapid economic growth,” was “producing a substantial net gain in living.” Kennedy had a stake in Taiwan’s achievements and the US’ official development assistance (ODA) in general: In September 1961, his entreaty to make the 1960s a “decade of development,” and an accompanying proposal for dedicated legislation to this end, had been formalized by congressional passage of the Foreign Assistance Act.

March 31 to April 6 On May 13, 1950, National Taiwan University Hospital otolaryngologist Su You-peng (蘇友鵬) was summoned to the director’s office. He thought someone had complained about him practicing the violin at night, but when he entered the room, he knew something was terribly wrong. He saw several burly men who appeared to be government secret agents, and three other resident doctors: internist Hsu Chiang (許強), dermatologist Hu Pao-chen (胡寶珍) and ophthalmologist Hu Hsin-lin (胡鑫麟). They were handcuffed, herded onto two jeeps and taken to the Secrecy Bureau (保密局) for questioning. Su was still in his doctor’s robes at
Last week the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) said that the budget cuts voted for by the China-aligned parties in the legislature, are intended to force the DPP to hike electricity rates. The public would then blame it for the rate hike. It’s fairly clear that the first part of that is correct. Slashing the budget of state-run Taiwan Power Co (Taipower, 台電) is a move intended to cause discontent with the DPP when electricity rates go up. Taipower’s debt, NT$422.9 billion (US$12.78 billion), is one of the numerous permanent crises created by the nation’s construction-industrial state and the developmentalist mentality it
Experts say that the devastating earthquake in Myanmar on Friday was likely the strongest to hit the country in decades, with disaster modeling suggesting thousands could be dead. Automatic assessments from the US Geological Survey (USGS) said the shallow 7.7-magnitude quake northwest of the central Myanmar city of Sagaing triggered a red alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. “High casualties and extensive damage are probable and the disaster is likely widespread,” it said, locating the epicentre near the central Myanmar city of Mandalay, home to more than a million people. Myanmar’s ruling junta said on Saturday morning that the number killed had
