Brian McKnight returns with “Temptation”, the second track from his new album, Just Me.
“One of the greatest things about this album is that all the new tracks were collaborations between me and my sons BJ and Niko. Under the name C.A.T.S., we wrote and co-produced these tracks with a sound I think the fans are going to love,” he says.
The R&B crooner is currently on tour throughout the country, and Just Me will be released July 12. The album art is included below.
Please take the time out to read about student Joshua Griffin. The 24 year-old attended Langston University and was finalizing his bachelor’s degree in Animal Sciences. Although he walked with his class, Joshua was a few credits short and was completing an internship with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Tragically, he drowned last week in Oklahoma.
According to reports, Joshua, who was on site with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, fell into a hole after a sand bar collapsed, then slipped into much deeper water before others could rescue him. 
His friend Phaedra sent us this email on Wednesday and I wanted to share it with the CL readers.
Hello Concrete Loop Staff,
The attached picture is Joshua Griffin. He attended Langston University, in Langston, OK, and studied animal science. He graduated in May and was completing an internship. Tragically, on June 15, 2011 he drowned in the Cimarron River in Oklahoma while completing his internship with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. I think it would be awesome if you all could put him on your site. I know Josh personally and he was a really outstanding person. He was very active on campus (singing in the choir/chorale) and played the on the drum-line at Central High School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He was also an active member of the Beta Kappa Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. Although he was taken from us so soon, everyone is comforted knowing that he died doing what he loved. We are going to miss him very much.
Joshua’s life is definitely a testament to living your life to the fullest and going after your dreams. His mother and uncle sat down with News 6 in Oklahoma to speak about his life and how they find solace during their time of grief. View that video below.
On Wednesday evening, President Barack Obama appeared in his first presidential address since the death of Al Qaida leader, Osama Bin Laden. The Commander-in-Chief delivered a speech in which he informed the American citizens about his plan to withdraw the American troops from Afghanistan:
Starting next month, we will be able to remove 10,000 of our troop from Afghanistan by the end of this year. We will bring home a total of 33,000 troops by next summer. Fully recovering the surge I announced at Westpoint. After this initial reduction, our troops will continue coming home at a steady pace. As Afghan security forces move into the lead. Our mission will move from combat to support. By 2014, this process of transition will be complete. The Afghan people will be responsible for their own security.
