Soccer Round Up: Messi Pursues the Ballon d'Or, Suárez has a Hand Ball Mishap
It was more of the same in European soccer this weekend.
Lionel Messi and Barcelona continued their relentless pursuit of Spain's La Liga crown with yet another goal and another win.
Luis Suárez wound up in yet another hand ball controversy this time for Liverpool in England, some 2 1/2 years after his first headline-making hand ball at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
And nine Argentine players, including Messi, found the back of the net for their respective clubs.
Lionel Messi, Carlos Vela, Iker Casillas
Messi and company started off 2013 the same way they ended it with goals and a 4-0 triumph, this time over Espanyol.
Expected to win the FIFA player of the year for the fourth consecutive time on Monday (Fox Soccer, 12:30 p.m. ET), Messi put an exclamation point on Barca's win, converting a penalty kick for the home team's final goal. Messi, who has scored in eight successive matches, leads the league with 27 goals and has 36 overall.
Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova, who returned to the bench after he missed one game for surgery for removing a tumor from a salvia gland last month, had front row seat to the rout. Xavi Hernández connected in the 10th minute before Pedro Rodriguez struck for the next two in the 15th and 27th minutes.
Barca (17-0-1, 52 points) extended its lead to 11 points over Atletico Madrid (13-3-2, 41), which settled for a 1-1 road draw vs. Mallorca on Kevin Garcia's equalizer three minutes from time.
"If the team keeps on like this, with the motivation we've got, there is no end to what we can do," Barca midfielder Cesc Fabregas said.
Real Madrid (12-4-3, 39) remained 16 points behind Barcelona as the Spanish champions recorded a 4-3 win over Real Sociedad as Portuguese international Cristiano Ronaldo bagged a brace within a three-minute span. For the second match in a row, goalkeeper Iker Casillas was benched by coach Jose Mourinho, but the Spanish international was forced into the fray after Adan Garrido was red carded in the sixth minute for fouling Mexican international striker Carlos Vela.
Brayan Angulo, Pablo Piatti
Angulo, a Colombian, started Valencia to its 2-1 win at Granada with a goal in the 50th minute on a long-range shot as the visitors took advantage of a red card to Mikel Rico. Piatti, an Argentinean, sliced the lead in half, connecting at the backpost in the 82nd minute.
Luis Suárez
The Uruguayan international's latest hand ball headache came in Liverpool's 2-1 win over non-league club Mansfield in the third round of the English F.A. Cup. After Daniel Sturridge had given the Reds a seventh-minute lead, Suárez doubled it in the 59th as he brought the ball down with his hand before kicking it into the net.
"There's no doubt it was hand ball, but the referee and the officials ruled it wasn't deliberate," Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said. "I spoke to the fourth official when it was given because I couldn't see and he said it was [a hand ball], so I can only assume they thought it wasn't deliberate."
During the 2010 World Cup quarterfinals, Suárez handled the ball to deny Ghana a goal and was red carded. Ghana missed the ensuing penalty kick and lost via a shootout.
Carlos Tévez
Tévez was magnificent in Manchester City's 3-0 F.A. Cup victory over Watford. After John Eustace fouled the Argentine striker 25 yards out, Tévez exacted revenge with a stunning free kick for City's first goal in the 22nd minute.
Sergio Aguero
After undergoing tests in Italy he Manchester City and Argentine international striker said he had a hamstring tear, suffered in a 3-0 English Premier League victory over Stoke City on Tuesday. It was not known how long Aguero will be sidelined. "We have to keep on thinking positive and try to recover in the best way possible," Aguero said on twitter. He has 10 goals this season.
Javier Hernández
Chicharito came close to scoring for Manchester United in its 2-2 draw at West Ham United in the FA Cup. The Mexican international thought he had given the visitors a 1-0 lead in the 16th minute when Danny Welbeck converted his low cross. However, the linesman ruled Welbeckoffside. Hernández was replaced by Dutch international Robin van Persie in the 67th minute. Van Persie tallied in the 90th minute to force a replay.
Andrea Orlandi
The Spaniard scored in the first half to spark Brighton and Hove Albion (English Championship club) to a 2-0 upset of Newcastle United (EPL) in the F.A. Cup. Orlandi finished a cross from Wayne Bridge in the 33rd minute.
Roger Espinoza, Maynor Figueroa
Espinoza will have to wait a little long to make his Wigan Athletic debut. The Honduran international midfielder never got off the bench in Wigan's 1-1 draw with AFC Bournemouth in the FA Cup. Another Honduran, Figueroa, figured in the scoring. A mistake by Figueroa almost gave Bournemouth a first-half goal as he failed to clear a Marc Pugh left-wing cross. Matt Tubbs tried to finish, but Danny Redmond made a diving tackle to save a goal. After Bournemouth took the lead, Figueroa almost made up for his error by firing a 25-yard free kick off the crossbar early in the second half. Figueroa was dragged down from behind by Bournemouth's Richard Hughes and referee Robert Madley awarded a penalty kick in the 70th minute. Jordi Gomez's attempt was saved by goalkeeper Shwan Jalal, but the rebound came to the Wigan player Gomez converted.
Only 73 seconds after entering the match, the Spaniard scored Swansea City's first goal in the 58th minute a 2-2 F.A. Cup home draw with Arsenal. The teams combined for three goals in 10 minutes with Swansea's Danny Graham equalizing in the 87th.
Carlos Ruiz
The Costa Rican international's corner kick helped Fulham stave of elimination by Blackpool in a tie tie in the F.A. Cup. Ruiz sent a corner into the penalty area in the 80th minute. Blackpool's Robert Harris tried to clear the ball. But Fulham's Giorgos Karagounis intercepted on the edge of the penalty area and he volleyed a shot into the net to equalize.
Jose Enrique
Liverpool's Spanish defender is expected to be out for six weeks due to a hamstring injury suffered in last week's win at Queens Park Rangers. "It was unfortunate he has done that because he has looked fantastic in the [recent] games," Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers said.
Edinson Cavani, Pablo Osvaldo
Cavani struck for a hat-trick in Napoli's 4-1 romp over AS Roma as he took over the Serie A scoring lead with 16 goals. The Uruguayan international tallied in the fourth minute off Goran Pandev's feed, made it 2-0 off another Pandev pass in the 48th before collecting his third by heading home a corner kick in the 70th. Osvaldo, an Argentine, made sure Roma avoided a shutout.
Mauro Icardi
The 19-year-old Icardi, who was born in Argentina, but holds an Italian passport, struck twice for 10-man Sampdoria, which rallied for a 2-1 win over Serie A leaders Juventus. Sampdoria played a man down after Gaetano Berardi was red carded. Icardi scored in the 52nd and 68th minutes.
Luis Muriel
The Colombian connected for the insurance goal of Udinese's 3-0 home win over 10-man Inter Milan in the 75th minute. His goal was sandwiched around scores by Antonio Di Natale.
Gonzalo Bergessio
The Argentine missed a penalty kick that proved costly for 10-man Catania in its scoreless tie at home to Torino. Bergessio botched his opportunity in the 22nd minute, nine minutes after teammate Francesco Lodi had been red carded.
Juan Román Riquelme
The former Argentine international said that he would not return to Boca Juniors. Riquelme, 34, had not played with the team since June after having disagreements with former coach Julio Cesar Falcioni. "I can't change the decision I took six months ago. I'm not coming back to Boca," Riquelme told reporters. "I thought about it up to the last moment because of the coach but I can't change the decision I made. I love this club, I have a lot of memories. Boca will always be my club but I have my word."
Lisandro López
The Argentine could not stop Lyon from becoming the first French Cup winners since 1998 to be eliminated in the round of 64 of the next competition as the team was ousted via penalty kicks, losing to Epinal, two leagues below the Ligue 1 team. López hit the woodwork in extra time after playing to a 3-3 tie in regulation.
Nicolás Gaitán, Eduardo Salvio
Benfica's one-two Argentinean punch was too much for Estoril Praia in a 3-0 road win. Gaitán found the back of the net in the 37th minute for a 1-0 lead Salvio closed out the scoring in the 66th.
Jackson Martínez
The Colombian striker tallied in the 24th minute of FC Porto's 1-0 home win over CD Nacional.
Marcos Flores
The Argentine midfielder scored the first goal of Melbourne Victory's 2-0 win over visiting Wellington Phoenix in the 43rd minute in the A-League match.

The birth of SOPA has been established through the efforts of the lobbying arms of the studios and labels The MPAA and RIAA. SOPA or (Stop Online Piracy Act) is in the Senate.
If passed, SOPA will give the Justice Department the ability to shut down almost any blog or website at will, PLUS it will also do absolutely nothing to stop those that pirate movies or music.
James Allworth recently wrote "Is this really what we want to do to the internet? Shut it down every time it doesn't fit someone's business model?" and I couldn't agree more. Censorship is a slippery slope. Not only that but it also creates an absurd amount of bureaucratic busy work. Here at HostGator we already spend a HUGE amount of time answering DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) requests. If we allow our representatives to begin deciding what is and what isn't ok for you to view on the internet then where will it end?
The bill itself is absurdly broad, creates a ton of liability for small to mid size e-commerce based businesses and will serve to stifle the tech industry in order to cater to lobbying groups paid by companies who refuse to adapt to a world in which free information is king (and almost as unstoppable as a force of nature).
Many Big Companies including Google Opposing SOPA.
But you will be shocked to know that one of our competitors, GoDaddy is supporting SOPA but it is getting backlash from many people.
We at Host Department wants internet to be free and it should be unrestricted. We also suggest you to support Free internet and take a step to stop SOPA by contacting by voting no for SOPA.

Many businesses have a cloud adoption strategy, but struggle during actual migration because they lack a clear road map. Accenture's Brian Sullivan details our six best practices for a successful cloud migration.
Ensure all stakeholders are on board
Initial discussions should involve all stakeholders, from C-suite executives to end users, as well as IT and line-of-business managers, software developers and third-party vendors.
Getting executives involved early heads off objections later on, and it's always helpful to explain why the organization has chosen to migrate to new systems.
The IT department, with its technology partners, must also play a big role to ensure that critical operations are not disrupted.
Define processes up front
Think about how you approach your core business processes.
An established global solution template that aligns with your cloud strategy can be replicated quickly and predictably to cover business process flows, along with technology solution approaches.
Having this part of the road map laid out saves time and effort and limits miscalculations when rolling out cloud services to additional countries, subsidiaries or business units.
Roll out cloud services in phases
With a phased approach, you enable flexibility and agility by minimizing company-wide disruption, and you can effect technology transformation, rather than just re-implementation.
Move one area of the business over, make sure the new technology is stable and effective, and prove that both IT users and people in other parts of the business have absorbed the new application and support processes. Then, make your next move.
Coordinate across subsidiaries
The average multinational corporation has more than 187 subsidiaries—according to estimates from Oracle—making it imperative for them to move to the cloud in sync
If different subsidiaries use different cloud solutions, it can have devastating effects on the entire ecosystem.
System and process integration is crucial to the success of any cloud migration. Furthermore, leaving some subsidiaries behind prevents them from gaining agility and lowering costs, while making them vulnerable to security gaps.
Align cloud purchases with business goals
Some lines of business may require cloud applications only to meet operational needs at lower costs.
Meanwhile, the more innovation-focused departments may need on-demand computing capacity, data storage and networking infrastructure to deliver cloud-native applications faster.
Ultimately, all stakeholders must work together to achieve the same big picture objectives.
Choose a committed technology partner
Every organization has unique needs, and an effective partner can accommodate existing assets while meeting future technology requirements.
Only global cloud providers with breadth and depth of experience across applications, platforms and infrastructure can offer the best technology tools and support.
Moreover, view the process less as a one-time transaction and more as a long-term partnership. Select a vendor that aligns with your long term migration strategy and engage them at every stage of your digital transformation to build a strong, productive relationship.

Women extend their business skills beyond the workplace to make a difference around the world.
Women extend their business skills beyond the workplace to make a difference around the world.
As a user experience designer, I love to see how great solutions can help change the world and make a difference in people's lives. My work has a very personal side—my father has dementia, and I see how evolving technology can help people like him.
Growing up with four brothers made me rough around the edges and highly competitive, but it also taught me to be resourceful and innovative when trying to overcome obstacles. As I could not beat my older brothers when competing with them physically, I had to do it creatively.
My brothers and I all went to Waldorf School, where collaboration and creativity was encouraged. Our father, working as a carpenter, also taught us to use both our minds and hands when solving problems—an approach I often find highly transmissible to the work I do every day at global professional services company Accenture. Making your ideas tangible is a powerful tool dependent on strong communications. Sharing your ideas with others opens you to collaboration and innovation.
Our father was diagnosed with dementia at a relatively young age, while still in his early 50s. Dementia is a non-curable, vicious condition that makes him slowly fade away, depriving him of his ability to communicate. Dementia has caused severe damage to the parts of his brain that control his speech and his ability to understand language. Not being able to communicate while still conscious of his surroundings has made him distraught, depressed and lonely.
Watching my father struggle, while not being able to provide him with anything that could support him in his communication challenges, is one of the reasons I have become so passionate about technology and its potential to improve people´s quality of life.
Technology solutions to complex problems
I was recruited into Accenture two years ago, during my studies at the University of Oslo's Department of Informatics. My involvement in digital design services was a result of my interest in technology and a passion for aesthetics and simplicity. I was intrigued with the opportunity to work at the intersection between technology and design, where I get to apply creativity to help solve complex problems.
Emerging technologies, like artificial intelligence and machine learning, are providing much needed aids for people who are losing their communication abilities, whether it is from dementia or other cognitive disabilities. Tools that are able to learn from the user´s response and behavior open up endless possibilities in supporting people like my dad throughout the different stages of their diseases.
My father has now entered what most likely will be the last phase of dementia and, even though I do believe in miracles, the solutions that the future may offer will not be able to help him. My wish is that the evolving new technologies, those that already help doctors diagnose patients and help researchers find cures, will be able to provide invaluable support for dementia sufferers in the future.
At work, I have been given opportunities to share my thoughts on this subject and inspire people to think of technology as a humane way to address our greatest future challenges when it comes to health care. I spoke about this topic at the global digitalMe challenge at Accenture's DigitalWorld event in San Francisco, where I was awarded third place for an inspiring talk.
For designers like myself, artificial intelligence also brings an interesting shift in user experience design, moving from traditional graphical user interface (GUI) design to designing interfaces where the central aspects of the interaction are changed. This shift includes designing for voice interfaces, gesture-based applications and screen-less design. I find the possibilities this change brings highly motivating, and this is where I´ll continue to build skills for the future.

Death Grips now properly dropped by Epic
I'm sure everyone is absolutely stunned
it's not really punk when the label haven't done anything wrong
if you don't want a big label contract, don't sign one you fucking idiotstheguywithnousername, joeymahone, Anthonyc, badmanreturns, Und_Gorgeous_Cars, Icarus-Smicarus, phontaine, countzero, Antelope, SCROTUM, pieces_of_reece, andyvine, Puds, gonad, capt_oats, Dettol, johneggfish, fitzcarraldo, and calumlynn this'd this
Not this
disappointing bunch of norms in this thread
- LdnMetropolitanElite this'd this
the thread's revival prompted people who had otherwise missed the thread to read it afresh.
But sure yes okay x
any other bizarre 80s terminology to throw out there along with norms and drip?
Keep being punk4lyf, sunshine.
really weird scenario from head to tail
really can't see where they were coming from signing the contract, or breaking it... but i guess it was good publicity.
Honestly I suspect...
1.Signed 'cos loads of money on the table.
2.Broke 'cos loads of money means you can't do whatever you want.
I'm not sure if it's good publicity - obviously people claim'll publicity is good but they already had a large fanbase and it's pretty hard to see how anyone who wasn't aware of them before but is through this will think anything other than 'fuck me - they sound like a bunch of massive twats,'
The whole scenario has definitely been good publicity in the short term
No one cares if musicians are cunts - it never affected bands like Oasis - and all this attention has made them unavoidable in the music press over 2012.
However, in the long term, a major label can pump far more money into your promotion. Furthermore,even most indie's would be scared of touching them now as they work on thinner margins and have more to lose from their antics.
- pip_ and matthewslaughter this'd this
post of the
Epic should out punk them
And release a bootleg of the download for Christmas giving them no royalties. This thing could have legs.
Still don't get all the fuss about Death Grips
I downloaded that record to have another try. It's all so...monotone. Sure they're brilliant live, but on record...meh.furio this'd this
I don't think it's too much to say that The Money Store is probably a better record, if not that it is certainly a better place to start. Or at least it was for me.
I liked Ex-military when it came out
But it just feels like they have one trick and one trick only. And the trick is getting old.
I can't argue with that
pretty much how i feel about NLDW as well.
- JaguarPirate, DaddyorChips, and SabeenaAkhtar this'd this
Also, as El-P said on twitter
I think Death Grips dropped Epic a while back now
You gotta hope
Epic paid their transatlantic flight costs for their show next week. Reckon they'll turn up still?
- Cementimental and littlebirds this'd this
You do see what the fuss is about at all?
or you don't?
I like them. They don't stick with me much after listening, but the odd blast is still a pretty fun ride. I was only disappointed that they claimed NO LOVE DEEP WEB would be a big departure from the sound of The Money Store, when realistically it was just a little more low key.
Almost certainly a band with a short shelf life, but we'll see.
I liked that album they made but they seem like total bells
This, no shows etc
Can't be adminned with themdanger this'd this
They seem like a bunch of petulant shitheads. AND NOT EVEN THE GOOD KIND.
So there's a four page interview in Spin telling all
Interestingly, they don't come across as the DESPERATE TO BE PUNK AS FUCK RETARDS that some people have made them out to be, whether or not you agree with their actions
Makes for interesting reading, anyhoo.
no, they just sound like people who brought it all on themselves
through a self-involved desire to be SERIOUS ARTISTES
If you look at that and all you see is a dick, I don't really have anything to say, pretty much
- WhiteLightWhiteCity and crashingthrough this'd this
The Spin Article
had a reference to MTG, and that was awesome.
It certainly seems that there was a whole lot more to the situation
with Epic than first thought. However i still find it stupid that they cancelled their tour because 'the art is more important'!!!! Hmmmmmmmmm.....
They'll always be ace tho, cos Zach Hill's in them :D
There's nothing there that really changes anything though.
I mean it sounds a lot more like Death Grips were naive and not really clear what being a major label involved than being deliberately punk but it still pretty much winds up looking like they made themselves impossible to work with and Epic didn't do much wrong. Sure, it was unlucky that key people left but you can't really blame Epic for not supporting the second album and tour plans given that they pulled out of promoting the first and left everyone in the lurch...vamos this'd this
Epic are more punk than Death Grips.
I like how the label was like, "hey, yo, get in the van"
and the band were like, "no, we want to MAKE VIDEOS"
honestly find it embarassing
that people think that gimmick bands like OFWGKTA, Wu Lyf and Death Grips are 'REAL' and not just being marketed the same way as any other band, but from a different angle.
Sure, you can pinpoint the second where the majors got involved with Odd Future
But if Death Grips are still being managed by Epic under some crazy marketing scheme, I'll be rather surprised.
but Wu Lyf have never had anything to do with a major
and have had the same manager and PR guy from day one, which they've never tried to hide.
Sure they are
All those Tesco ads trying to flog OF Tape Vol 2, you couldn't move for them. "I'll stab Bruno Mars in his goddamn oespohagus - Every Little Helps."
Loved Louis Walsh's face when Wu Lyf rocked up to The X Factor in balaclavas and started throwing petrol bombs all over the shop.
And I'm sick of everyone banging on about these 'Death Grips' on constant rotation on Capital FM.
For the next two months the Marmont was the band's Control station
"as they played an illusion game against everyone they were working with. Learning, through "full infiltration," about Hollywood social hierarchy. They subverted the Hollywood dream and wrestled for control."
i.e. they stayed in a nice hotel for two months.matt_animals, iaminterested, whynot, and andyvine this'd this
spot on. it's cringe-inducing stuff.
yeah, it's a really horribly written article
they come across as ok, but there's massive holes in their story. if they'd just fucking, you know, emailed the label once a week to keep on top of things the maybe situation wouldn't have ended up like it did, and it's not like it would have taken enough time to interfere with the album.
also surprised because i always assumed that the third member was the main producer and that zach was more a live member/contributor to the production
I dunno
it kind of sounds like Epic weren't actually the EVIL MAJOR LABEL that Death Grips actually made them out to be. They just worked like every other major label would?
Also, the fact they 'blew their advance' on an 'infiltration of Chateau Marmont'? Come on, dudes. The fact they're 'homeless' doesn't negate the fact that they'll have made a solid amount of money doing this recent European tour. Holding them up as some sort of ultra-punk DIY messiahs is ridiculous. They just understand how things work.
- WhiteLightWhiteCity this'd this
What a bunch of fuds.
Death Grips just a bad version of Goldie Looking Chain?
They were on a major record label.
1. cancelling a tour for no good reason
2. putting a penis as cover art
Aren't compatible with that.
Dicks like that just help screw over fans and labels who , in this case, seemed to believe in them
Of all the disappointing norms
you might just have taken the biscuit.
Since when were people so bothered about whether some people in suits made dollar off a band?
FFS, we really do live in the age of the dullards.
Sorry, i didn't realise we should all let some whiney faux rap/hardcore bands mess people around.
Watch them disappear around the middle of 2013. Unless they cancel thier tours again to film a video or make ANGRY posters.
Alec Empire called, he wants his schtick backCementimental this'd this
idk, man
in an age when the people with money are largely unwilling to take any kind of risk on interesting or challenging music, Death Grips being on Epic stood out massively. they could've basically done ANYTHING in that position and it sounds like they had people behind them to back them. but, uh, they didn't. they bitched and moaned and wasted their opportunities. it's a little sad really.
``they could've basically done ANYTHING in that position``
except the things that Epic don't permit them to do...
Of course not "anything"
but what they could have achieved at that level would have been amazing, and for it to be backed by a major label is, like guntrip says, a staggering result in the current climate. Of course the main people that had supported them at the label had been let go so I see their argument there BUT where was the management and label reps to calmly reassure the band of their options when they were quite obviously freaking out?
I'm not an amazing fan of Death Grips but I do recognise that they could have been a great gateway band for the mainstream to understand both how the musical underground works now, how an audience reacts and how to analyse a minor phenomenon. It does hopefully suggest to the majors that there is a big audience that IS waiting for something a bit more noisy and abstract. The way music cycles work suggest that this is the time for something to blow up and this possibly could have been that (like it or not).
listening to the Money Store
I don't feel like Epic put any unreasonable requests on the band.
And even in that article the only thing the band mentions is not giving them money to make videos (preferring the band instead, you know, go out and tour as a method of promotion - shock!) and not being willing to insta-release a record as soon as it was finished. Neither of which strike me as being particularly unreasonable.
No, but you're pretty into record labels and whatnot
whereas I think that if a band records music and wants to make it available without having to wait 9 months or whatever for some arbitrary commercial cycle then that should be what happens.
Well, if that's what they wanted then why the hell did they sign? That isn't the label's fault - it's not like a musician could enter into a major label contract without knowing that they operate in that way.joeymahone this'd this
No idea really
but as major record labels are largely obstructive, I'm always pleased to see something go against them.
I'm not the biggest fan of major labels by any means, but to be honest it doesn't sound like they were the 'largely destructive' party in this situation.
I said largely `obstructive`
and they were obstructive in that No Love Deep Web wouldn't be released at the moment if it was up to them.
in this case
the obstructive major label willing to sign a largely tuneless and hyper aggressive noise rap act. those scoundrels!
hey, you came back!
hi post
while we're quizzing
in what way were Epic unreasonably obstructive towards them?
They didn't want the latest album released, the band did
hence the band putting it up online
I'm hardly saying it's unreasonable full stop
I'm saying it's unreasonable if you sign a record contract where you exchange a large sum of money for a degree of control to then bitch about it.
I wouldn't say that was bitching about it, I would say that was doing something about it
so maybe we're at cross purposes here.
leaking your own record then leaking the label's irritated reaction is kind of bitching by proxy IMO
guntrip's just said this
way to go, hive mind
Major labels and alternative music rarely made great bed fellows
and now recording costs are far lower, they're virtually unnecessary.
Death Grips weren't comfortable working within the parameters the label set, so they were never going to be the band to reignite that particular love affair.
the thing is
I don't for one minute believe that Zach Hill was naive enough not to know exactly what those parameters wereamyblue this'd this

where they talk about how they 'aren't into surface reality'? makes sense really.

FTC To Monitor MySpace And/Or Empty Space For 20 Years
from the why-you-write-broad-privacy-policies dept
Yes, MySpace. That also-ran social networking site that no one uses any more has come to an agreement with the FTC over violating its own privacy policy. Specifically, it appears that MySpace made it possible for advertisers to associate identities with advertisements so that advertisers could build a direct profile of an individual. Of course, it doesn't appear that anyone actually did this. The settlement means that MySpace will undergo "regular privacy assessments" for the next 20 years. I have two thoughts on this: first, there is almost no chance that MySpace exists in 20 years. Second, I never understand this 20 year deadline on FTC deals. If, miraculously, there is still a MySpace in 2033, it can go back to skimping on its privacy protections?

This week we caught up with them to chat the life of a twin, individual style and their go to pieces:
Being twins, do you have similar style or are you quite individual?
Our styles are fairly individual but also have aspects that overlap. Of course there are a number of areas where our styles really converge – majorly at our love of leather, leopard and camouflage print.
Have you ever accidentally walked out of the house in very similar outfits?
It happens more often than you would think, particularly when we're going to the same place/event!
If you are going out together do you plan your outfits so they match or is it completely individual?
Growing up as twins, we've almost always made a conscious attempt to be seen as individuals rather than as 'the twins'. And so I'd have to say that the way that we dress is completely individual. Also our personalities and styles are quite different, so what we are in the mood to wear from day to day really varies between the two of us. Usually even when we wear the same piece, we style it quite differently.
You tend to shoot more individually than as a duo. Do you shoot each others looks?
Yes! We just about always shoot together. We find that we each best understand what the other is looking for in terms of types of shots and we're after, and the angles that flatter the other best! Plus it is so much more comfortable shooting with someone who knows you so well.
Tasfia recently moved states to continue studying … what is the longest you have gone without seeing each other? How do you make sure you don't buy the same clothes!?
Two weeks! And that was hard enough considering that for the past twenty-one years we've invariably had the other to lean on and depend on. As much as we love shopping, we're not impulsive buyers. If we like something we spot in store or online, we'll most probably not buy it out on the spot and shoot the other twin a quick text for a second opinion before buying!

Surah At-Taubah – Adel Rayyan
This has been mentioned in a Hadith recorded by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad on the authority of Kathir bin Murrah, who reported from Qays Al-Judhami, may Allah be pleased with him, that Allah's Messenger said,
يُعْطَى الشَّهِيدُ سِتَّ خِصَالٍ عِنْدَ أَوَّلِ قَطْرَةٍ مِنْ دَمِهِ: تُكَفَّرُ عَنْهُ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ، وَيَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، وَيُزَوَّجُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِين، وَيَأْمَنُ مِنَ
الْفَزَعِ الْأَكْبَرِ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَيُحَلَّى حُلَّةَ الْإِيمَان
As the first drop of his blood gushes forth, a martyr is granted six merits: all of his sins are forgiven, he is shown his place in Paradise, he is married to wide-eyed Huris, he is secured from the great fear (on Judgement Day) and the torment of the grave, and he is adorned with the adornments of Iman. Ahmad was alone in recording this Hadith.
Abu Ad-Darda', may Allah be pleased with him, reported that Allah's Messenger said,
يُشَفَّعُ الشَّهِيدُ فِي سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِه
A martyr is allowed to intercede for seventy members of his household.
This was recorded by Abu Dawud, and there are numerous other Hadiths mentioning the merits of the martyrs.
As for Allah's saying,
He will guide them meaning, He will guide them to Jannah.
This is similar to Allah's saying,
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ الصَّـلِحَاتِ يَهْدِيهِمْ رَبُّهُمْ بِإِيمَانِهِمْ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمُ الاٌّنْهَـرُ فِي جَنَّـتِ النَّعِيمِ
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous good deeds, their Lord will guide them because of their Faith: beneath them rivers will flow in the Gardens of Pleasure.(10:9)
Allah says,
وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَهُمْ
and amend their condition. meaning, their situation and affairs.
وَيُدْخِلُهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ عَرَّفَهَا لَهُمْ
And (He will) admit them to Paradise, which He has made known to them. It means that He has acquainted them with Paradise and guided them to it.
Mujahid said: "The people of Paradise will be guided to their houses and dwellings and whatever sections Allah has ordained for them in it. They will not make mistakes in this, nor will they ask anyone for directions to their dwellings -- as if they had dwelt in it from the time they were first created.''
Al-Bukhari recorded from Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, that Allah's Messenger said,
إِذَا خَلَصَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ مِنَ النَّارِ حُبِسُوا بِقَنْطَرَةٍ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَالنَّارِ، يَتَقَاصُّونَ مَظَالِمَ كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا، حَتْى إذَا هُذِّبُوا وَنُقُّوا أُذِنَ لَهُمْ فِي دُخُولِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ بِمَنْزِلِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَهْدَى مِنْهُ بِمَنْزِلِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا
After the believers securely pass the Fire (on the Day of Judgement), they will be held back upon a bridge between Paradise and the Fire. There, they will have any acts of injustice that they committed against one another in the life of this world rectified. After they are completely purified and cleansed (from injustice), they will be admitted into Paradise. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, each one of them will find his way to his dwelling in Paradise better than he found his way to his dwelling in the worldly life.

Surah At-Taubah – Adel Rayyan
كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرْهٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَىٰ أَن تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ وَاللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
"Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know" - Quran 2:216

Re: Surah At-Taubah – Adel Rayyan
jesus or Yeshua goes to prepare a house for his followers, which is mentioned at the beginning of john 14. It is based on belief alone that assures a place in heaven not martyrdom. In christianity ones love, however, is measured on whether or not one would die for a friend, but those risks happen because man is sinful not because man is SEEKING a SWORD FIGHT to get to heaven. So the motivation to die a martyr in christianity is for a better resurrection , but not to assure ones self, entrance into heaven.

Revision as of 14:03, 7 October 2010
This article provides information on how to troubleshoot unicast packet flow traffic issues for the M1 Series modules.
Step 1: Packet is Received into Interface from Wire
During this step, the packet is received into the Nexus 7000 port. When troubleshooting this step, we want to look to ensure there is transceiver interoperability, and validate whether we are seeing any errors on the interface. We do this via using the following commands
- show interface <interface>
- show interface <interface> transceiver
PHX2-N7K-1# show interface e1/1
Ethernet1/1 is up Hardware: 10000 Ethernet, address: 0024.986c.00b0 (bia 0024.986c.00b0) Description: N7K-vdc-1 connecting to core 6506 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 10000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation ARPA Port mode is trunk full-duplex, 10 Gb/s, media type is 10g Beacon is turned off Auto-Negotiation is turned off Input flow-control is off, output flow-control is off Rate mode is shared Switchport monitor is off Last link flapped 7week(s) 4day(s) Last clearing of "show interface" counters never 1 minute input rate 13056 bits/sec, 9 packets/sec 1 minute output rate 4608 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec Rx 341190251 input packets 276211313 unicast packets 52112947 multicast packets 12865991 broadcast packets 0 jumbo packets 0 storm suppression packets 94295027129 bytes Tx 462437316 output packets 85121 multicast packets 188251 broadcast packets 0 jumbo packets 648159081064 bytes 0 input error 0 short frame 0 watchdog 0 no buffer 0 runt 0 CRC 0 ecc 0 overrun 0 underrun 0 ignored 0 bad etype drop 0 bad proto drop 0 if down drop 0 input with dribble 0 input discard 0 output error 0 collision 0 deferred 0 late collision 0 lost carrier 0 no carrier 0 babble 0 Rx pause 0 Tx pause 1 interface resets

Step 2: Linksec Decryption Occurs, 1st stage Port QoS
In step 2, Linksec decryption occurs as well as receive side stage 1 QoS.
It is important to step back and evaluate the difference between stage 1 and stage 2 QoS. The difference is that some ports can be configured in shared mode, whereas some can be configured in dedicated mode, on the 10G modules. What this means, is that there is 10g of bandwidth that can be dedicated to a port or shared amongst ports (4 ports, on the m132 module).
When running in shared mode, there exists a chance for contention accessing the 10g bandwidth through the 4:1 Mux. To alleviate this, some QoS intelligence was passed down to the 4:1 Mux which aggregates the ports.
In dedicated mode, there is no QoS applied at the Mux, instead, all traffic is processed in phase 2 QoS. To summarize, in shared mode, 1st stage QoS ensures fair access to the 10g of port bandwidth. In both shared and dedicated mode, 2nd stage QoS occurs to provide ingress queuing to the system.
For the ingress QoS, we are concerned about the Receive side QoS parameters in the show queuing command.
Use the show policy-map command to see per queue dropped packets.
The commands to troubleshoot Linksec and Port QoS are as follows:
- show cts interface [all | interface]
- show queuing interface interface
- show policy-map interface (for per queue drop)

Petraeus Raised Terror Link
Former CIA Chief, in Private Testimony, Prompts New Questions About Handling of Benghazi Attack
WASHINGTON—Former Central Intelligence Agency Director David Petraeus said Friday that he told Congress from the earliest days that there was "significant terrorist involvement" in the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya—adding to the controversy over the administration's handling of the attack.
Mr. Petraeus, who resigned last week after acknowledging an extramarital affair, went to Congress on Friday to defend his old agency's role in the response to the Benghazi, Libya, attack. In his closed-door testimony,...

The Starrett Versatix MP Band Saw Blade saw blade has an Intenssr tooth design, raker set, and a positive rake for cutting low alloy steel; aluminum; stainless steel, carbon steel; tool, die, and mold steel; steel up to C45 Rockwell hardness; nickel-based alloys; and nonferrous metal. The blade can make cuts in cuts in solid, structural, and tubular shapes, and solid and tubular bundles. The Intenss tooth has a positive rake angle for high-production cutting operations. The teeth are made of triple-tempered M-42 high-speed cobalt steel with an alloy steel backing strip that resists fatigue. It also has a variable tooth pitch that reduces noise levels and vibration. The blade has a raker set, which alternates between left-leaning, right-leaning, and unset teeth, for increased chip evacuation that reduces clogging.
Band saw blades are long, continuous bands of metal that loop around the wheels of band saws and can make straight or curved cuts in metal, wood, stone, plastic, and other materials. When purchasing band saw blades, consider the application, as this will affect the choice of tooth rake, tooth set, pitch, and size of the blade. Band saw blades are available with a positive rake angle or a neutral (also called zero or straight) rake angle, and with a raker, wavy, or alternate tooth set. Pitch (the number of teeth per inch or per 25.4 mm) affects the type of finish and may be constant or variable. Band saw blades are available in different lengths and width to fit the requirements of specific band saws.
The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company was founded in 1880 and is headquartered in Athol, MA.

Watch Bruno Mars Silent Film From Rolling Stone Cover Shoot [Video]
There's usually some behind-the-scenes footage that accompanies an artist's magazine cover story. For Bruno Mars' first Rolling Stone cover, the creative director and artist decided to forego the usual chatter about hair, makeup, clothes and music in favor of a short (like 35 seconds) silent film inspired by the Andy Warhol Screen Tests from the 1960s.
The footage was shot on 16mm and Super 8, so it's grainy and looks like an Instagram setting come to life. You can't hear. You can only see and hopefully, you can cull some sort of information from Mars' body language, movement and eyes. Use the context clues, peeps.
The clips definitely presents itself like it is from another era.

One week...seven days, that is how long I lasted in my quest to getting organized. It wasn't even seven consecutive days! I put forth the effort, I printed off the organization checklists, read various columns on how to get organized and spent money on office supplies. What did this exercise tell me about myself?
1. I like making lists!
2. I like buying office supplies!
3. I like the idea of being organized!
But no matter how many "here is what you need to do to get organized" blog posts I read or podcasts I listened to, none seem to fit me. I did find great organizational tips and checklists which act as valuable reminders on the preservation and safekeeping of documents and emphasize the need for documentation in a database. However, I think the checklists will only be guidelines for me. I need my own method otherwise I'm not totally committed to it.
Lets face it, having a list can be a great motivator, but it also can be a threat. We feel we have to finish the list in a certain amount of time. This is my hobby and I want to enjoy this hobby without the pressure of deadlines.
Those who recognized this passion in their life and were able to follow that to a career have my admiration. I have a fantastic job that I love with a great company and as much as I enjoy this hobby I won't be quitting my day job! Having said that, I would like to continue my education in family history research. I want to learn more about the methodology, abstracts, transcriptions and citations just to start with. There will be more about my approach to further my education in a future post.
So, it is what it is folks. I am an amateur genealogist (have been for 10 years now) and make no claim to being more than that. I know some about genealogy, but have a great desire to know more. With those aspirations of perfectly completed checklists out of the way I can get back to enjoying the research and the finds!

Thank you for your clarification Spast. and yes yasuo is a cahmpion in game called league of legends and Some people send reports to riot games (The company that made the game) that to nerf yasuo nerf means to make his abilities weak and he got nerfed for about 4 times but he still so op or strong due to his crit and from the new system 10ban system he got the top ban rate in some servers due to his power so riot will make a rework for him pretty soon (change his abilites).

Why did you repost this shit again? OP noob.
Yasuo players can suck Firzen's dick
x'D sorry for that just for people who didnt see it :v
More information about yasuo. ok then Yasuo is a man of resolve, an agile swordsman who wields the wind itself to cut down his foes. This once-proud warrior has been disgraced by a false accusation and forced into a desperate fight for survival. With the world turned against him, he will do everything in his power to bring the guilty to justice and restore his honor. Formerly a brilliant pupil at a renowned Ionian sword school, Yasuo was the only student in a generation to master the legendary wind technique. Many believed he was destined to become a great hero. However, his fate was changed forever when Noxus invaded. Yasuo was charged with guarding an Ionian Elder, but, foolishly believing his blade alone could make the difference, he left his post to join the fray. By the time he returned, the Elder(yasuo master) had been slain. and he had been slain by a wind technique and yasuo is the only one who knows the wind technique. but how would yasuo kill his own master!! so he kept running to the truth go to the desert but from one of the days he saw some people those people were his friends and they looked for him because they think that he killed his master but yasuo didnt know that. Yasuo spent the next several years wandering the land, seeking any clue that might lead him to the murderer. All the while, he was relentlessly hunted by his former allies, continually forced to fight or die. His mission drove him ever forward, until he was tracked down by the one foe he dreaded most - his own brother, Yone. Bound by a common code of honor, the two warriors bowed and drew their swords. Silently they circled one another under the moonlight. When they finally charged forward, Yone was no match for Yasuo; with a single flash of steel he cut his brother down. Yasuo dropped his weapon and rushed to Yone's side. Overcome with emotion, he demanded to know how his own kin could think him guilty. Yone spoke: ''The Elder was killed by a wind technique. Who else could it be?'' Understanding swept over Yasuo as he suddenly realized why he had been accused. He professed his innocence once more and begged his brother's forgiveness. Tears streamed down Yasuo's face as his brother passed in his arms. Yasuo buried Yone under the rising sun, but could take no time to mourn. Others would be after him before long. His brother's revelation had given Yasuo newfound purpose; he now had the clue that would lead to the true killer. Swearing an oath, he gathered his belongings and, with one last look at Yone's grave, set out with the wind at his back. ''The story of a sword is inked in blood.''
Firzen -
The comments on this wall confuse me.
Yasuo is a "Champion" from the game League of Legends. There are people who only play this "champ" and fail and most people hate those people.
Pipo -
How interesting, tell me more
Kath -
If they're in your team, they die. A lot. A fucking lot. The enemy receives a lot of gold - thus getting more items and fucking you up. If the Yasuo is in the enemy team, he'll be the one who GETS the kills, and will kill anybody in two hits. Fucking Yasuo.

Check out Gary Gallagher's list of five overrated Civil War officers (with a tip of the hat to John Fea). One of them is Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, not because he was a poor commander but because fiction and film have elevated him into the stratosphere of popular memory.
I call this the Velociraptor-Chamberlain effect. It happens when a work of fiction or film sends a previously obscure subject into the stratosphere of popular imagination. There were plenty of brave and talented field officers at Gettysburg, but only one got top billing in The Killer Angels and the movie adaptation.
Likewise, up until the 1990's, Velociraptor was just one of many little carnivorous dinosaurs that rarely got any press. And with good reason—other than its svelte form (the name means "quick robber") and formidable claws, there wasn't anything particularly impressive about it.
Then Michael Crichton came along. Dinosaur artist Gregory Paul had assigned a larger relative, Deinonychus, to the genus Velociraptor, and Crichton adopted this classification in Jurassic Park. The raptors in his book were therefore substantially bigger than their real-life counterparts, and formidable enough to take on his human characters.
Steven Spielberg evidently thought that even the beefed-up raptors in the novel were too puny for the big screen, so by the time the raptors made it to Hollywood they were about three times as tall as they had been in the fossil record. Ironically, after the book came out, scientists identified yet another large relative of Velociraptor, as big as the ones in Spielberg's film.
I've drifted off-topic, haven't I? Sorry; I've got this thing for dinosaurs.
Anyway, the point is that works of fiction often have a much greater impact on the way people remember the past than the interpretations of the people who study it. How many monographs on Gettysburg do you think it would take to equal the impression made by Shaara's novel? I'd say quite a few.
The other thing that struck me about Gallagher's piece is the reaction it elicited from readers. Take a look at the comments; some readers assumed that because Gallagher takes issue with certain evaluations of a few Confederate generals, he must be politically correct and have an anti-South agenda. Never mind that he included Union commanders in his list, and never mind that he didn't say one word about the Confederacy itself. Perhaps the online defenders of True Southronness should set aside the Confederate flag; a doctor's reflex hammer seems like a much more appropriate emblem for them.

Every Monday through Friday, we deliver a different song as part of our Song of the Day podcast subscription. This podcast features exclusive KEXP in-studio performances, unreleased songs and recordings from independent artists that our DJs think you should hear. Each and every Friday we deliver songs by local artists. Today's selection, featured on the Morning Show with John Richards, is "Ashes On The Riverbank" by Thieving Irons, a self-released demo from a forthcoming album to be called This Midnight Hum.
KEXP listeners will probably recognize Nate Martinez from his part in the now-defunct band Pela, who won over a legion of fans during the past few years and appeared many times at our events and in-studios. Although a new album from the band seemed imminent in 2009, they shocked their faithful by deciding to part ways before it was released (though you can watch video of some of the songs performed acoustically here). The first to arise from Pela's ashes is Thieving Irons, Nate Martinez' solo project, and based on this one song that he's made available on his website, the new album promises to be fantastic.
While Pela excelled at bighearted, nearly to the point of blustery, athemic rock (and I mean that in the best way), "Ashes On The Riverbank" shows that as a frontman Martinez prefers a more complex and melodic approach. You'd expect a guitarist to write a guitar-centric song, and based on the song's opening measures (nearly the first full minute, actually) you wouldn't be wrong. Quickly, though, the song fills up with a meaty bass, an old hollow-sounding piano, and eventually a distorted synth, each building an inescapable catchiness to the song layer by layer. Ultimately, the highlight is Martinez' voice. In Pela, he occasionally but ably backed up Billy McCarthy arena-sized howl, but after listening to his assured yet plaintive vocals on "Ashes On The Riverbank," you can't help wonder why he didn't more songs himself!
Because there's not a whole lot out there about the new project just yet, I went right to the source and asked Nate a few questions about Thieving Irons:
How did you get started with your new project? Has it been something that you've been considering for a while?
Late last spring I started writing some new songs and I had a couple that had been lying around for a while. So I decided that I should try and record an album all on my own. After spending many years working on Pela I figured it was the perfect time. I guess it was a personal challenge too. I wasn't sure what the end result would be but I've been really happy with the process and the results so far.
So far, "Ashes on the Riverbank" is the only song you've released. Have you written other songs? Will/do they have a similar sound?
Yeah. I decided to give this song away. It's not something I was planning on doing but I wanted to introduce people to this music while I'm finishing up work on the actual album. The demo is something I did last summer while in the writing phase and I had Eric Sanderson [also of Pela] add some instruments. He was pretty inspired by playing drums at the time so he added drums, bass and some piano. This song will be on the album not this demo version though. The album version is a bit more panoramic as are most of the songs.
Is there any particular significance to the band name? Since you're choosing not to go by your own name, are you considering this project to eventually be a full band?
No significance really. I like the 2 words. Thieving irons is some old 1800s slang that meant a few different things — hands, scissors, purse snatchers, etc. I think it fits with the music. There's something with the instrumentation on this album that captures a snapshot of over 100 years of music and music instruments. My friend Mike Brown has a studio called Temperamental studios and he has an unbelievable collection of very old instruments. So we've got guitars from the 1800s that we recorded with, pump organs, banjolins, victrolas, quirky old organs, mixed with cheap casios, bowed saws, and random kids toys.
These instruments add a really nice sound to the songs without taking them over. I think this project will definitely evolve into a full live band. At the moment I'm planning on playing most shows as a duo with Mike. Since we both play a bunch of instruments, we figure we'll just fill the stage with instruments, create loops and have each show be a unique experience with whatever instruments we pick up at the time.
Right now, do you play all instruments? Will there be anyone helping out on the album?
As I wrote the songs for this album, I demoed them out and ended up retaining most of the stuff I recorded in my apartment. I have this quirky, cheap casio keyboard that ends up on most of the songs. I played a lot of guitars, basses, and keyboards. As it developed I had my favorite drummer and friend, Bryan Devendorf play drums on the album. We did some recording at Saltlands in Brooklyn with my friend Jim Smith. I've been collaborating with Mike Brown, who I mentioned earlier. He's added a lot to this album too. Zak Ward, from this band Son Of The Sun, lent some background vocals. Dan Brantigan played some trumpet and a synth trumpet called an EVI which sounds crazy and Soda Gardocki added some guitars and vocals. A great group of talented folks I'm proud to have on the album.
How different is it for you to take on a project by yourself? Have you done it before?
This is my first attempt taking a project on by myself and singing. I've sang background vocals in other bands and I've written songs over the years that I've sang. This is definitely new and it feels great.
Are you performing these songs live yet? If so, how has the response been?
I haven't played these songs out yet. But that will change in February. My very good friend Josh Kaufman (who's main project is Rocketship Park and he plays with Dawn Landes) and me will be doing a joint residency at Sycamore in Brooklyn. It will be the 2 of us joined by Mike Brown and each week we'll have a rotating cast of some of our very talented friends doing different interpretations of our songs. I can't wait.
I'd be doing Pela fans a disservice if I didn't ask: Will we ever get to hear the final, as yet unreleased album, Arise Ye Sunken Ships?
Yes, you will. Some day the album will be released.
There you have it, folks. There are definitely things in life worth waiting for. As Nate says in the interview, he's holding a join residency for four Thursday at Brooklyn's Sycamore starting on February 11. New York listeners should head on down. Everyone, though, should keep tabs on Thieving Irons through its MySpace and Facebook pages, and hopefully we'll hear a lot more from this band in the near future. For now, here's one of three clips recorded in the studio to give you a bit more to sample — this one show's them working on a song called "I Can Hear A Pin Drop":

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers grace Life cover
On this day in 1938, Hollywood's most famous dancing duo, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, are featured on the cover of Life magazine, offering readers a graceful vision at a time when America is in the grips of the Great Depression.
Born Frederick Austerlitz on May 10, 1899, in Omaha, Nebraska, Astaire began touring the vaudeville circuit with his sister and dancing partner, Adele, in early childhood. By 1917, the siblings were performing in New York and London. After Adele married an English lord, Astaire began working in films, starting with a small role in Dancing Lady (1933). In his second film, Flying Down to Rio (1933), he was paired with Ginger Rogers, who had been born Virginia Katherine McMath on July 16, 1911, in Missouri. As a teenager, Rogers had been a champion Charleston dancer and had also toured on the vaudeville circuit. In 1930, she made a splash on Broadway in George and Ira Gershwin's musical Girl Crazy.
Astaire and Rogers turned out to be a perfect match on the dance floor, and audiences flocked to see their dazzling, complex routines in the 10 movie musicals they made together, including The Gay Divorcee (1933), Top Hat (1935), Swing Time (1936) and Shall We Dance? (1937). The actress Katherine Hepburn once famously said of the couple: "He gives her class, and she gives him sex." The pair's final film together was 1949's The Barkleys of Broadway.
Although best known for her partnership with Astaire, Rogers made some 70 films during her career and won a Best Actress Academy Award for Kitty Foyle (1940). A savvy businesswoman, she invested her earnings wisely and became one of Hollywood's wealthiest actresses. Married and divorced five times, Rogers had no children and continued to perform for most of her life, scoring triumphs on Broadway in Hello, Dolly! in 1965 and in London with Mame in 1969. Rogers died on April 25, 1995, at the age of 83.
After his partnership with Rogers in the 1930s, the debonair Astaire continued dancing onscreen with other partners, including Paulette Goddard, Rita Hayworth and Lucille Bremer. He went on to make such films as 1957's Funny Face, with Audrey Hepburn, and 1974's The Towering Inferno, which co-starred Steve McQueen and Paul Newman; his performance in the latter film earned Astaire his only Oscar nomination, for Best Supporting Actor. Astaire died at age 88 on June 22, 1987.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks dropped and bond yields surged Wednesday after Federal Reserve chairwoman Janet Yellen said that rate hikes could happen about six months after the Fed wraps up bond purchases.
The S&P 500 SPX, +0.22% fell 11.48 points, or 0.6%, to 1,860.77, most of the losses coming after the comment from Yellen during the press conference. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.70% dropped 114.02 points, or 0.7%, to 16,222.17.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +0.08% shed 25.71 points, or 0.68%, to 4,307.60.
The FOMC decided to trim the bond purchases by another $10 billion this month and changed the way it targets unemployment and inflation in deciding short-term interest rates.
Yellen fielded questions from the press following the widely expected Fed policy announcement in her first news conference as the Fed chairwoman, succeeding Ben Bernanke.
Stocks, which were flat before the Fed statement, retreated afterwards. But the hard drop, which took the Dow down more than 200 points, came when a reporter asked Yellen how long the Fed would wait to start raising rates after it stops buying bonds in what's known as quantitative easing.
Yellen said the Fed's language "probably means something on the order of around six months, that type of thing." The taper of the Fed's bond purchases is expected to end in October or November, putting the potential first rate hike on course for April or May of 2015.
Read the recap of our live stock-market coverage.
See also: Recap of live coverage of the Fed decision and the Janet Yellen news conference.
Yields on 10-year Treasurys surged, gold prices fell further and the dollar spiked against the Japanese yen after the Fed announcement and Yellen comments. Traders in fed funds futures moved up their bets on rate hikes by two meetings, to April 2015.
"It was a harsh reminder that QE wouldn't be here forever and it would be done by the fall. Then when she noted that 'considerable time' for keeping the fed funds rate in the current range would be six months after QE ends, this opened the door to higher rates by April. July was the consensus for the first rate hike," said Ryan Detrick, senior technical strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research.
Earlier, a batch of mixed earnings did little to influence otherwise cautious sentiment.
Among individual stocks, shares of First Solar Inc. FSLR, +0.71% jumped 21% to top the S&P 500 index after the company forecast strong earnings and said it is collaborating with GE to develop a more cost-effective photovoltaics power plant design. See also: Movers and shakers.
Shares in KB Home KBH, +2.00% jumped 5.9% after the home maker swung to profit in its fiscal first quarter, beating analysts estimates.
Nu Skin Enterprises NUS, +0.18% shed 5.8% after it said in a 10-K filing on Tuesday that it expects to be fined and potentially face other sanctions in China following an investigation into its business practices.
Shares of Hewlett-Packard Co. HPQ, +0.56% rose 3.5% as the tech giant is scheduled to host a shareholders meeting later Wednesday following the release of interim financial statements.
Cigna Corp. CI, +1.99% shares gained 3.3% after steep losses recently. The stock is down over 8% year to date.
Pacific Sunwear of California Inc. US:PSUN shares rose 3.7% after the retailer posted better-than-expected results for the fourth quarter on Tuesday after the bell.
In overseas markets, Asia had a mixed day, with the Nikkei 225 NIK, -0.20% NIK, -0.20% giving up a more than 1.2% gain at one point to close up just 0.4%, while Chinese stocks went nowhere. European markets slipped, while the FTSE 100 index UKX, -0.85% rose after the release of minutes from the latest Bank of England Monetary Policy meeting and the latest jobs data. GBPUSD, +0.0153%

Voting districts for seats on the Craven County Board of Commissioners have been changed for the first time in 20 years.
Voting districts for seats on the Craven County Board of Commissioners have been changed for the first time in 20 years.
After hearing from two county residents Monday, commissioners passed a resolution approving the new district maps, which were drawn by the board in multiple sessions over nearly a year with the help of a Fairfax, Va., mapping consultant and a Greensboro elections law expert.
The resolution, which the board approved on a 5-2 vote, states the new district plan remedies �substantial inequality of population among the electoral districts of Craven County.�
The new district maps will be in effect for the 2014 election.
The new plan creates seven commissioner districts that contain between 14,582 and 14,997 residents. Each new district has a maximum 1.43 percent deviation from the one man, one vote requirement. A deviation of plus or minus 5 percent is considered acceptable.
The two residents� comments came during an additional and non-required public hearing that commissioners scheduled following the U.S. Supreme Court decision that eliminated the preclearance requirement in the 1965 Voting Rights Act under which the new plan was drafted and would have been further scrutinized.
Neither of those speaking Monday expressed concern about minority representation, which would have been the focus of a Justice Department review, however.
Instead, Dover Mayor John Wetherington applauded the plan�s fairness in not splitting up District 2 towns and communities, while a Fairfield Harbour resident expressed concern that her street wasn�t on the new District 1 map.
Commissioner Lee K. Allen said his street name couldn�t be seen without further magnification, either.
The maps are posted online at cravencounty.com, and the board had staff pull down the screens and pull up maps to show that her community is in the new plan in its same district with her street labeled.
But District 5 Commissioner Theron McCabe and District 3 Commissioner Johnnie Sampson, who cast both the dissenting votes against the maps following the previous public hearing, continued to express reservations about the new district maps.
Board Chairman Scott Dacey pointed out that �there are a higher number of African-Americans in these districts than in your old (current) districts. We did everything we could to preserve them.�
District 5, which McCabe currently represents, has 22.7 percent African-American voters compared to 23.9 percent in the newly drawn district, and District 3 keeps a majority of black voters with 53.5 percent, compared to 51.1 percent in the current district Sampson represents.
Neither man expressed concern during the planning process until the sixth draft, which barely affected their districts.
McCabe and Sampson, both registered Democrats, voted against the new plan Monday, which was approved on a 5-2 vote. All five Republican commissioners voted in favor of the plan, even though, as Commissioner Jeff Taylor said, five of the seven new districts include Democratic majorities.
Taylor said he feared the dissent by McCabe and Sampson gave a false sense of how hard the board worked to be fair.
�I don�t know how we could have drawn these districts any better,� he said.
Previous attempts by other boards to redraw districts that, in some cases, have more than twice as many people as others, had either not found agreement or had not passed Justice Department preclearance.
The most recent prior attempt was in 2001 when the plan did not get preclearance, and commissioners decided to simply have all commissioners elected from their own district. In the previous voting method, District 3 and District 5 faced only registered voters in their districts while all others faced voters countywide.

From the source: Marilyn Monroe's fitness and beauty secrets
How on god's green earth did we miss this absolute gem of a resource when my co-founders and I launched the Cult Beauty website in 2008? Would you believe we did an entire piece on the woman and never once did we have such a robust source as this original article about her beauty routine, fitness habits (yep, she exercised) etc. The imagery leaves me speechless. Grounded yet stunning photos of a classic beauty looking magnificent without all of the on-set accoutrement needed nowadays to get the already beautiful looking unattainably so. She looks the part of the perfect starlet yet a wonderfully natural (okay, bar a few procedures) specimen of what near female perfection looks like in the flesh. Of course, beauty is in the proverbial eye of the beholder and the likes of Liz Hurley have admitted to preferring certain death over a figure like Monroe. For those of us who think otherwise, I think you'll appreciate this article, borrowed from Glamournet and found via the Vintage Beauty Blog.

Leighton Meester and Adam Brody on a Movie Date
Leighton Meester and Adam Brody Have a Movie Date
Leighton Meester and Adam Brody had a Saturday date at the ArcLight Cinema in Hollywood. Adam and Leighton are going strong since news of their relationship broke back in February. They first crossed paths back in 2010 while making the film The Oranges but reportedly only took things to a romantic level last year. They'll have even more time to spend together on set since they're working on another picture. Leighton and Adam are starring in the comedy Life Partners, which began shooting in LA earlier this month.
Their Saturday evening at the movies came after Leighton answered a fan question on her Facebook page about her favorite TV shows. Leighton told her almost one million followers on Facebook, "Breaking Bad is my favorite show. I love Nurse Jackie. I really love cooking shows." She regularly gives a peek into her life on the Facebook page, also showing herself in a home studio working on new music.
