Ivanka Trump weds Jared Kushner........Ivanka Trump weds Jared Kushner

Here are the first photos of power newlyweds Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.The real-estate scions tied the knot yesterday at the father of the bride's golf course in Bedminster, NJ.


The 500 guests included dozens of New York luminaries and power brokers, including Andrew Cuomo, Barbara Walters, Anna Wintour, Rudy Giuliani, Joel Klein and Sheldon Silver, as well as Newark Mayor Cory Booker, Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and ex-New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey.

PHOTOS: IVANKA TRUMP WEDS JARED KUSHNER

Stars from the entertainment world also made the scene, including Food Network chef Sandra Lee, actress Emmy Rossum and her Counting Crows beau Adam Duritz, and country singer Jamey Johnson.

The gorgeous bride, 27, wore a Vera Wang gown inspired by Grace Kelly.

Her bridesmaids were Vanessa Trump -- wife of brother Donald Jr. -- and half-sister Tiffany Trump.

"She looked stunning," one guest said.

Yesterday's beautiful weather was a good omen, the bride said.

"Just finished a gorgeous hike," she posted on Twitter hours before the nuptials, "The leaves are spectacular and the sun is shining. Everything is simply perfect! I'm getting married today!"

The daughter of Donald and Ivana Trump, Ivanka works for her dad and co-hosts "Celebrity Apprentice."

She recently started filming the show's new season, which will not interfere with her honeymoon in Africa.

As if her wedding were not exciting enough, Ivanka this week marveled that her new book, "Trump Card," has become a best seller.

She has been dating Kushner, 28, the publisher of the New York Observer and son of billionaire real-estate mogul Charles, for more than two years -- and converted to Judaism in order to join his family.

The ceremony was performed by Rabbi Haskel Lookstein.

Wednesday, the couple will hold a second reception for twice as many guests at the Puck Building.

Extensive security kept back onlookers at the Trump National Golf Course, but Ivanka has kept her 400,000 followers on Twitter abreast of every detail from her engagement to her rehearsal dinner.

"Truly the happiest day of my life," she posted of her July 16 engagement.

Though her family is known for its over-the-top spectacles, Ivanka said some events are best kept low-key.

"At a very casual 'rehearsal' dinner with friends," she posted Saturday, "just 5 of my lady friends and me having a casual dinner and getting excited. Perfect!"

Despite their expensive lifestyles, the couple projected a down-to-earth image with a wedding registry featuring inexpensive items such as $7.95 glasses from Crate & Barrel.

They did, however, also register for two $1,350 silver bowls from Tiffany -- but, perhaps thinking better of such grandiosity, reduced it to one.
"Jared and I are very similar in that we're very ambitious," she told Sherman. "That's what makes it so amazing to be in a relationship with someone who is supportive of that. I'm happy for him when he is in the office working late. I know how good that feels when you sit down and return e-mails."

Medium (TV show.....)

Medium is an American television drama series that premiered on NBC on January 3, 2005, and ended on CBS on January 21, 2011. Themed on supernatural gifts, its lead character, Allison DuBois (played by Patricia Arquette), is a medium employed as a consultant for the Phoenix, Arizona district attorney's office. Allison and her husband Joe (Jake Weber) are the parents of three daughters, all of whom inherited Allison's gift. The show was initially based on the experiences of medium Allison DuBois, who claims she has worked with law enforcement agencies across the country in criminal investigations.


Medium was created by Glenn Gordon Caron and is produced by Picturemaker Productions and Grammnet Productions in association with CBS Television Studios, originally known as Paramount Television and CBS Paramount Television.

The series aired on NBC during its first five seasons before switching to CBS, whose production division produces the show beginning with the sixth season.[1] Season 7 premiered on September 24, 2010.

On October 26, 2010, CBS ordered the seventh season to be cut from 22 to 13 episodes.[2] Both Patricia Arquette and Glenn Gordon Caron have since stated that the show has been canceled, which CBS confirmed on December 21, 2010.

Allison DuBois (Patricia Arquette) is a strong-willed mother of three, a devoted wife who begins to suspect that she can talk to dead people, see the future in her dreams, and read people's thoughts. Fearing for her mental health, she turns to her husband Joe (Jake Weber), an aerospace engineer,… More for support. Joe slowly comes to believe that what his wife is telling him just might be true. The real challenge is convincing her boss, D.A. Manuel Devalos (Miguel Sandoval) -- and the other doubters in the criminal justice system -- that her psychic abilities can give them the upper hand when it comes to solving violent and horrific crimes whose mysteries often reside with those who live beyond the grave.

Sofia Vassilieva and Maria Lark also star as Ariel and Bridgette, the eldest two DuBois children. David Cubitt stars as Detective Lee Scanlon, who Allison often works with on cases.

As Allison and Joe's daughters continue to grow, their psychic abilities show more and more development, keeping the DuBois' home life busy and interesting. Through it all, Joe and Allison continue to balance their hectic home life with their professional lives -- which seem to become more and more stressful as time goes on.

Vegemite..........About Vegemite

Vegemite (pronounced /ˈvɛdʒɨmaɪt/ VEJ-ə-myt) is a dark brown Australian food paste made from yeast extract. It is a spread for sandwiches, toast, crumpets and cracker biscuits, and filling for pastries. It is similar to British, New Zealand, and South African Marmite, Australian  Promite, and to Swiss Cenovis.




Vegemite is made from used brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacturing, and various vegetable and spice additives. It is salty, slightly bitter, and umami or malty — similar to beef bouillon. The texture is smooth and sticky. It is not as intensely flavoured as British Marmite and it is less sweet than the New Zealand version of Marmite.

WHAT IS VEGEMITE?
As you may know, Vegemite is an Australian food, but over the years it has come to be known as an Australian icon. It is a spread made mainly from concentrated yeast extract that is leftover from the beer brewing process; but don't get your hopes up, that doesn't make it alcoholic. Vegemite's creators recognised that the yeast extract was a very valuable source of vitamins; add to that the various spices and vegetable extracts, and it's creators fulfilled their goals to create a highly nutritional and tasty spread. Vegemite has a solid consistency similar to that of butter, but it's heavier, and it's a very dark brown.


HOW POPULAR IS VEGEMITE IN AUSTRALIA?
One of the reasons that Vegemite is so widely recognised as an Australian symbol is that it is so loved by Australians. An estimated nine out of ten Australian pantries contain at least one jar of the stuff, while thirty jars of Vegemite are consumed within Australia for every one jar that is exported. It is extremely common among Aussies to be brought up eating Vegemite on toast for breakfast, Vegemite and cheese sandwiches for lunch, "Cheeseymite scrolls"... and the list goes on. This is because of parents' common knowledge that it's very healthy for growing kids, which stemmed from the huge post-war family growth that created an ideal market for the product. We love our Vegemite!

WHAT DOES VEGEMITE TASTE LIKE?
For first timers, the flavour of Vegemite is often unexpected. Most common spreads used in sandwiches, but in particular, on toast, is either sweet like jam or honey, or else it's peanut butter! Vegemite however, has a rather salty bite to it. It is often used as a stock in all kinds of cooking, so it's very savoury and can be likened to a concentrated flavour of a dark meat like beef.

Vegemite Sandwich Recipe
Using your favorite bread, some butter or margarine, and of course, Vegemite.
Spread butter on a piece of toast or bread.
Cover very thinly with Vegemite (for the optimum Vegemite sandwich you only need a dab). Dip your knife in the Vegemite, and scrape up just a bit (it will mix right in with the butter and spread easily). Some people like to "marble" the Vegemite into the butter/
Eat it open-faced and enjoy!

My Apology to UNC-Wilmington

The campus police came in force to my lecture at the University of North Carolina but the radicals whom they were there to keep from disrupting the event did not. The reason was obvious. When the SDS and the other fascist groups which infest this campus as they do every other decided to disrupt the speech that former congressman Tom Tancredo attempted to give, the fiasco was captured on national TV causing extreme embarrassment to university officials. Public embarrassment is where academic bureaucrats will draw the line – because of its economic consequences. Six of the student culprits were arrested, and even though they were eventually acquitted the strong reaction of university officials constituted a warning they are bound to respect. This confirms my long-held view that university administrators could solve the problem of campus barbarism by simply reinstituting and enforcing the rules that were in place before the inmates were allowed to take over the asylum in the wake of the destructive Sixties.


As at UMass the week before, I met some tough-minded and savvy conservative students there, who were associated with the Carolina Review, which is available online here. Also, as at UMass, my hosts described the routine political abuses of their professors. For example one UNC instructor in a course on the architecture of Greece takes large chunks of class time to rail against Republicans and American imperialism. This confirms my long-held opinion that  a large part of the problem is character, specifically the arrested development  of academics who are under parental supervision often until their thirties. What after all is so difficult about observing a professional discipline and not venting your personal frustrations on students (who at this state school pay $10,000 a year in tuition fees)? My student hosts also described indoctrination courses to which they are subjected, in one case, the same political science course in Supreme Court decisions I audited at UMass in which the instructor presents only the left side of the argument as the reasonable position and in which the required reading is the same lone text –The Nine by Jeffrey Toobin – which treats the views of conservatives like Clarence Thomas as “extreme.”

Given this new revelation, I have decided to conduct myself in a manner more consistent with the character of my colleagues and my so-called superiors. Specifically, I have decided to imitate and perhaps even surpass my colleagues in two crucial areas required for promotion to full professor: 1) Individual Cowardice, and 2) Intellectual Dishonesty.

In order to accomplish the first of these two goals, I hereby offer the following apology to my colleagues at UNCW: I am sorry for criticizing the UNCW diversity movement. I really mean that.

In order to accomplish the second goal - of matching the near-total intellectual dishonesty of my colleagues - I am going to demonstrate the sincerity of my apology by focusing only on the positive aspects of the diversity movement.

Australian Open bans skimpy tennis skirts, see-through tops

AUSTRALIAN Open referees will double as fashion police to stamp out skimpy outfits after Alize Cornet caused a stir with a see-through top at the Hopman Cup.

Open officials have threatened fines of up to $2000 for any player caught flouting its strict dress code.

The 18-year-old wore a short skirt and revealing, see-through top during a doubles match at the tournament in Perth...
A dress code controversy is brewing in Melbourne, and though it involves tennis not golf, I think it's worth noting, because our sport often grapples with issues of attire ... and, well...because I love a good dress code controversy.

Today's attire quagmire is taking place at the Australian Open, and the subject is Alize Cornet, a pretty French teenager, currently her country's top player. Alize who turns 19 on January 22, has been know to push the proverbial envelope, with both her aggressive game and her tiny little (ultra-cute) outfits. Well, this time it looks like she may have pushed a bit too far.

Keith Olbermann suspended after donating to Democrats

Friday’s Countdown show on MSNBC, host Keith Olbermann announced that the episode would be his last, and spent a few minutes near the end of the show saying goodbye. He mentioned a number of infamous and pivotal points in his show’s history when he went after the Bush administration:


Read more: http://newsbusters.org/taxonomy/term/185#ixzz1Br8bsSbX

Olbermann made campaign contributions to two Arizona members of Congress and failed Kentucky Senate candidate Jack Conway ahead of Tuesday’s election.

Olbermann, who acknowledged the contributions in a statement to POLITICO, made the maximum legal donations of $2,400 apiece to Conway and to Arizona Reps. Raul Grijalva and Gabrielle Giffords. He donated to the Arizona pair on Oct. 28 — the same day that Grijalva appeared as a guest on Olbermann’s “Countdown” show.

NBC has a rule against employees contributing to political campaigns, and a wide range of news organizations prohibit political contributions — considering it a breach of journalistic independence to contribute to the candidates they cover.

The network originally announced that Chris Hayes, the Washington editor for The Nation, was going to fill in for Olbermann. But the network announced late Friday that Hayes would not be the substitute host, after Hayes’ previous donations to two Democratic candidates in 2008 and 2009 came to light.

Hayes said on Twitter that his decision not to fill in for Olbermann tonight had nothing to do with his donations – which he notes were made before he became and MSNBC contributor, but because he “did feel comfortable doing it given the circumstances.”

MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts is filling in tonight.

Olbermann is one of MSNBC’s most recognizable faces, and has emerged as one of the country’s most prominent liberal commentators. A former ESPN star, Olbermann’s “Countdown With Keith Olbermann” started in 2003 as a traditional news show but evolved into a left-leaning opinion program – and in some ways, led the network into its new identity as the cable-news voice of the left and an attempt to be a counterweight to Fox News.

In his statement to POLITICO, Olbermann said he wasn’t using his influence to solicit any donations for the candidates.

“I did not privately or publicly encourage anyone else to donate to these campaigns, nor to any others in this election or any previous ones, nor have I previously donated to any political campaign at any level,” Olbermann said.

About Keith Theodore Olbermann.....
Keith Theodore Olbermann (pronounced /ˈoʊlbərmən/; born January 27, 1959) is an American political commentator and writer. A former sportscaster and news anchor, Olbermann most recently hosted Countdown with Keith Olbermann, an hour-long nightly commentary program on MSNBC.

Olbermann spent the first twenty years of his career in sports journalism. He was a sports correspondent for CNN and for local TV and radio stations in the 1980s, winning the Best Sportscaster award from the California Associated Press three times. He later co-hosted ESPN's SportsCenter from 1992 to 1997. After leaving ESPN amid controversy, Olbermann became a sports anchor and producer for Fox Sports Net from 1998 to 2001, during which time he hosted Fox's studio coverage of baseball.

Oldest cheerleader Laura Vikmanis bt Still Hot

maybe few olders than other NFL cheerleader or maybe the player but she has many fans. Laura Vikmanis who is 42 years old cheerleader was the cheerleaders of Cincinnati Bengals. Laura Vikmanis was registered dietician and she try to become cheerleader at age 39. Laura Vikmanis got rejected at first but she did try hard and at last Laura Vikmanis got accepted as cheerleader at age 40. Laura Vikmanis has two daughter Alexa, 12 and Lila, 14.

On Friday, tabloids were afire with stories about Laura Vikmanis, the oldest current NFL cheerleader at the age of 42. Vikmanis, a mother of two, is proud of her role and wants to be an inspiration to other women.



Vikmanis is currently a cheerleader for the Cincinnati Bengals and said she is pleased she can serve as an inspiration for other mothers regarding what is possible for women over the age of 40, reports Babble.com.

She is almost twice the age of most of fellow cheerleaders on the squad, but that didn’t dissuade her from trying out for the team, first at the age of 39.

According to Zap2It.com, Vikmanis told Yahoo! “I was extremely intimidated because I’m literally 20 years older than these girls.”

She joked that she’s older than most of the players as well, but noted the coach is “a little older than me.”

Vikmanis is most interested in providing her two daughters -- Lila, 14, and Alexa, 12 -- with a role model that inspires them to follow their dreams.

“I look at myself as a role model for my children to show them no matter what age or dream you have, you can work really hard and achieve it,” said Vikmanis, according to Babble.

About private universities: USA top private universities

Definition: Examples of private universities include Harvard University, Emory University, Northwestern University, University of Notre Dame and the Vanderbilt University.

The term "private" simply means that the university's funding comes from tuition, investments and private donors, not from taxpayers.

A private university has several features that distinguish it from a liberal arts college or community college:

    * Undergraduate and graduate student focus - unlike liberal arts colleges, universities have significant masters and doctoral programs.
    * Graduate degrees - most degrees awarded from a liberal arts college are four-year bachelor's degrees; at a private university, advanced degrees such as an M.A., M.F.A., M.B.A., J.D., Ph.D., and M.D. are also common
    * Medium size - No private universities are as large as some of the huge public universities, but they tend to be larger than liberal arts colleges. Total undergraduate enrollments between 5,000 and 15,000 are typical.
    * Broad academic offerings - universities are typically made up of several colleges, and students can often choose courses in the liberal arts and sciences or more specialized fields such as engineering, business, health and fine arts.
    * Faculty focus on research - At big-name private universities, professors are often evaluated for their research and publishing first, and teaching second. At most liberal arts colleges, teaching has the top priority.
    * Residential - The majority of students at private universities live at college and attend full time. You'll find far more commuter students and part-time students at public universities and community colleges.
    * Name recognition - The most prestigious and well-known schools in the world are largely private universities. Every member of the Ivy League is a private university, as are Stanford, Duke, Georgetown and Johns Hopkins.

Abalone:About Abalone and Abalone Recipes

What is Abalone..?
Abalone is one of the most prized sea delicacies worldwide. Farming of abalone began in the late 1950's and early 1960's in Japan and China. A very rapid development of abalone cultivation has taken place in the 1990s and it is now widespread in many countries including USA, Mexico, South Africa, Australia, Japan, China, Taiwan, Ireland, Iceland and others. The largest cultured abalone producer in the world is China with over 300 farms and a total production of approximately 3500 tons, mostly H. supertexta.


Structure  of abalone shell......
The shell of the abalone is exceptionally strong and is made of microscopic calcium carbonate tiles stacked like bricks. Between the layers of shells is a clingy protein substance. When the abalone shell is struck, the tiles slide instead of shattering and the protein stretches to absorb the energy of the blow. Material scientists around the world are studying the tiled structure for insight into stronger ceramic products such as body armor.


harvesting......

*Australia
*California
*New Zealand
*South Africa
*Channel Islands
*Farming


Abalone Recipes....how..???....
*Place a thin fillet knife against the inside of the flat portion of the shell and move it inward, cutting the muscle attachment close to the shell.

*Remove the meat from the shell.

*Trim the head, gills, and viscera. To do this lay the abalone the foot side down. Place the knife just forward of the point where the meat was attached to the shell and cut at a 45 degree angle down and forward.

*Cut the meat across the grain, but not quite in half, for a butterfly cut.

*To tenderize, lightly pound the meat a few times on both sides with a broad knife.


*Add some butter to a very hot skillet. You must cook abalone quickly or it will become very tough. Cook for only one or two seconds on each side. SERVE IMMEDIATELY.

*Serve two cooked two-inch petite abalone placed in the shell for a nice presentation.

*Serve three cooked, three inch petite abalone with fresh pasta and vegetable garnish.


And thats all about Abalone.

Robert Sargent Shriver...........Robert Sargent Shriver

Robert Sargent Shriver, Jr. was an American politician and activist. Called R. Sargent Shriver or just The Sarge,[3] he is best remembered as part of the Kennedy family and was the driving force behind the creation of the Peace Corps. He was also the Democratic Party's candidate for U.S. vice president — having replaced nominee Thomas Eagleton, who resigned from the ticket — during the 1972 U.S. presidential election. Shriver died at the age of 95 in 2011.The key to Shriver's legacy of success as a peacebuilder lies in his ability to create feasible, effective programs that promote human dignity and welfare. All the programs he created are informed by a method in peacebuilding he once described as "a formula for practical idealism."

As the head of the Chicago School Board and the Catholic Interracial Council in the late 1950s, Shriver addressed America's racial conflict by leading successful efforts to integrate Chicago's public and parochial school systems. As a senior official in the Kennedy Administration, Shriver created the Peace Corps in response to the global conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union in the Cold War. The Peace Corps is a program that builds peace and friendship by sending Americans to work for human dignity and human welfare in the third world.

As Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity in the Johnson Administration in the mid-1960s, Shriver developed a multi-faceted War on Poverty designed to transform the economic and social roots of the conflict over civil rights in America. Like the Peace Corps, the programs of the War on Poverty - including Head Start, Job Corps, VISTA, Community Action Program, Legal Services to the Poor, and Foster Grandparents - continue to serve Americans today.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Shriver addressed the inter-religious tensions at the heart of the conflict in the Middle East by convening, for over five years, the first official Trialog of the Abrahamic faiths since the Moors ruled medieval Spain. He also addressed domestic and global tensions over America's escalating nuclear arms race with the Soviet Union by securing affirmation of a No First Strike policy by senior U.S. foreign policy officials and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

David McCallum.....about David McCallum

Date of Birth
19 September 1933, Glasgow, Scotland, UK

Birth Name
David Keith McCallum
Height
5' 8" (1.73 m)



David Keith McCallum, Jr. is a Scottish actor and musician. He is best known for his roles as Illya Kuryakin, a Russian-born secret agent, in the 1960s television series The Man from U.N.C.L.E., as interdimensional operative Steel in Sapphire & Steel, and Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard in the series NCIS.
His father, David McCallum Sr., was first violinist for the London Philharmonic and his mother, Dorothy Dorman, was a cellist, so it is not surprising that he was originally headed for a career in music (oboe), studying briefly at the Royal Academy of Music. He left that, however, for the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. He made nearly a dozen movies in the United Kingdom before his critically acclaimed work as Lieutenant Wyatt in Billy Budd (1962). He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the blond U.N.C.L.E. agent Illya Kuryakin in TV's "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." (1964).

Lady Antebellum: Hello World Lyrics..

Hello World Lyrics by Lady Antebellum...............


Traffic cars, cell phone calls
Top video screams at me
Through my tender window I see
A little girl, rust red minivan
She's got chocolate on her face
Got little hands, And she waves at me
Ya, She smiles at me

Hello World
How've you been
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel, cold as steel
Broken like I'm never gonna heal
I see a light, little hole
In the little world

Hello world
Every day I drive by
A little white church
It's got these little white crosses
Like angels in the yard
Maybe I should stop on in
Say a prayer
Maybe talk to God
Like he is here
Oh I know he is there
Ya, I know he's there

Hello world
How've you been
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel as cold as steel
And broken like I'm never going to heal
I see a light
Little grace, little faith for the world
Hello world

Sometimes I forget what living's for
And I hear my life through my front door
And I'll be there
Oh I'm home again
I see my wife, little boy, little girl
Hello world
Hello world

All the angels disappears
I remember why I'm here
Just surrender and believe
I fall down on my knees
Oh hello world
Hello world


top video screams at me = talk radio screams at me
tender window = tinted window
little hole in a little girl = little hope in a little girl

This is a GREAT song that reminds us all to slow down and realize what the important things in life are.

Coachella 2011 Lineup Revealed

Coachella 2011 Lineup Revealed.............

It’s that time of year again. Festival season is creeping up on us, and with that comes some highly anticipated announcements from the world’s larger summer-music events. Later today, Coachella’s lineup will reportedly be unveiled by Los Angeles radio station KROQ at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT).

Paste plans on being here all day to report on all things Coachella. We will be posting everything from actual lineup confirmations to rumored acts reported by other websites and individuals. On top of that, we’ll be posting some of the fake festival posters popping up all over the internet, along with various other Coachella tidbits.

12:00 p.m. ET: As we mentioned above, KROQ will be revealing the official lineup at 8 p.m. ET. All of this excitement was initially sparked by KROQ’s @iggnasty, who tweeted the scheduled announcement. If you are unable to listen to the broadcast, you can listen live over at KROQ’s website.

12:03 p.m. ET: Numerous websites, including Billboard and NME, have written today that both The Strokes and Duran Duran are strong bets to perform as headliners this year.

12:30 p.m. ET: Coachella’s website has recently featured videos of several artists—a likely sign that they will be appearing in Indio this year. These videos include: Fanfarlo, Lightning Bolt, Monarchy, Phantogram, Tame Impala and Trentemøller.

1:33 p.m. ET: Big news coming from Gigwise. In addition to The Strokes and Duran Duran, The UK website now reports that The Arcade Fire are also expected to headline the festival.

1:41 p.m. ET: Well, apparently this KROQ announcement may not be happening today after all. According to L.A. Times music editor Randall Roberts, a reliable source has reported that the 8 p.m. ET announcement may be fake. Either way, we will continue to provide Coachella updates until the lineup becomes official—whether that happens today or not.

1:53 p.m. ET: New Wave fans should rejoice if this one’s true. Phoenix New Times has reported that both Gary Numan and OMD will be headed to the California desert in April. This makes sense with Numan, who had to cancel his 2010 performance after being stuck in Europe after the Icelandic volcano eruption last year.

2:45 p.m. ET: Whether or not the Coachella lineup actually gets announced today will remain up for debate until this evening. While you’re waiting, below are some pretty awesome fake posters we’ve found online for the festival. MTV and Consequence of Sound have shown us some of these already, but we have a few more to hold you over until the real poster is out. Check them out in the gallery at the bottom of this page.

3:02 p.m. ET: Speaking of Consequence of Sound, their Festival Outlook has a whole set of artists potentially performing at Coachella, ranging from ‘expected’ to ‘rumored’. None have been recognized as ‘official’ yet, however, as the website bases these statuses on gaps within each artist’s tour schedule surrounding April 15-17.

3:33 p.m. ET: We just found both the greatest and most frightening fake posters so far, both of which are in the gallery below. Thanks to Vince Hannah and happycoachella.com for pointing those out.

4:22 p.m. ET: While there haven’t been many new updates in the past hour, we’ve been examining some more of Consequence of Sound‘s rumored Coachella artists. Here’s an idea of some who are touring in the Western U.S. around or after the weekend of April 15-17: Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears, Bright Eyes, Cold War Kids, Cults, Cut Copy, Menomena, The Black Keys, The Kills, Warpaint.

5:50 p.m. ET: More updates from Billboard who has confirmed earlier reports that the Arcade Fire will indeed be headlining the festival. In addition, the website also points to PJ Harvey, Crystal Castles and Cut Copy as additional artists who have made the billing.


6:05 p.m. ET: And yes, we will be holding out for KROQ’s 8 p.m. ET announcement, just in case the lineup comes out (even though it’s been reported as a potential hoax).

7:17 p.m. ET: Another announcement from Billboard. It looks like Mumford & Sons will be joining the party as well.

Greg Mattison Accepts Michigan Job; Chuck Pagano Promoted to DC

Greg Mattison (born November 15, 1949) is the current defensive coordinator for the University of Michigan football team.[1] Mattison was formerly the defensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens. An American football coach, Mattison also served as co-defensive coordinator and defensive lines coach for the Florida Gators football team for three years, including the 2006 BCS National Championship team.

Mattison has been a crucial factor in the development of some key players the last two seasons, including a pair of 2004 NFL free agent signees in defensive tackles Darrell Campbell and Cedric Hilliard along with emerging stars such as ends Justin Tuck and Victor Abiamiri, and 2002 Moose Krause Lineman of the Year Ryan Roberts.

As defensive coordinator for the Irish from 1997-2001, Mattison's defenses were annually ranked among the nation's toughest. His 2001 unit ranked 14th in the nation in total defense - including 10th in the country in pass defense and 22nd in scoring defense.

A native of Madison, Wis., Mattison was also influential in coaching All-American and second-round NFL draft pick Anthony Weaver. Weaver finished his impressive Notre Dame career with 154 tackles and 17 sacks and started as a rookie defensive end for the NFL's Baltimore Ravens in 2002.

Mattison's 1999 defense recorded 33 sacks during the 2000 season, including a team-high eight by Weaver.

In 1998, Mattison's defense gave up only 16.4 points per game over its last nine regular-season outings - while not giving up a third quarter touchdown in any of its first nine games. In 1997 under Mattison, the Notre Dame defense was ranked 24th in the country in pass efficiency defense and was 31st in the country in scoring defense at 19.83 points per game.

Before coming to Notre Dame, Mattison was the defensive coordinator at the University of Michigan in 1995-96 and had been a member of the Wolverine staff since 1992 as the defensive line coach. He was one of five finalists for the initial Frank Broyles Award in 1996, recognizing the top assistant coach in college football.

Michigan's 1996 defense ranked eighth nationally in scoring defense (15.2 points per game) and the Wolverines also ranked among the top teams in the nation in rushing defense (108.5 yards per game for 17th), pass efficiency defense (20th) and total defense (18th at 300.9). In 1995, Michigan ranked 11th in total defense (286.3) and third in rushing defense (90.1).

Mattison started his collegiate coaching career as a graduate assistant at Illinois in 1976 under Bob Blackman. He also served as an assistant at Cornell (defensive line in 1977 under Blackman), Northwestern (defensive line in 1978-80 under Rick Venturi), Western Michigan (defensive coordinator from 1984-86 and linebackers from 1982-86 under Jack Harbaugh), Navy (defensive line in 1987-88 under Elliott Uzelac) and Texas A&M (1989-91 under R.C. Slocum). 

"We’re excited for our defense and for Chuck, and we’re happy for Greg Mattison," coach John Harbaugh said. "I will talk more about it tomorrow when we formally announced Chuck as our new coordinator in a press conference."

gardena high school:school student was shot in the head

A California high school student was shot in the head and a second student was struck in the neck today when a gun inside a backpack accidentally went off in a school hallway, police said.

Gardena High School, south of downtown Los Angeles, was promptly locked down and heavily armed police carried out a dragnet through the sprawling campus before arresting a sophomore. A gun was also recovered, Lt. Steve Pendergrast, spokesperson for Gardena Police, told ABC affiliate KABC-TV.

The shooting was reported at around 10:40 a.m., Pacific time, by a teacher.

A gun inside a backpack unintentionally discharged, Los Angeles Unified School District spokesperson Robert Alaniz said.


"It's our understanding that this morning during passing period, the suspect either dropped it or hit it against something injuring two students," Alaniz said.

Gardena police said that the two students were wounded by one bullet. A 15-year-old girl was shot in the head and is in critical condition, KTLA reported. A 15-year-old boy was shot in the neck and is in critical condition, KTLA said.

A cousin of the girl posted on Facebook that she is currently undergoing surgery.

A teacher said that it appeared to be an accident, Alaniz said.

Police wearing bulletproof vests, helmets and holding guns entered the front of the school searching for the shooter. Los Angeles School Police found a young man and took him into custody.

The handcuffed suspect was wearing a longsleeve dark shirt and jeans as police escorted him from Gardena High School to a police vehicle.

The traffic intersection surrounding the school was closed to traffic. The school was put under lockdown. Students were dismissed, and parents were asked to only use one of the school's exits to pick them up, Alaniz said.

The high school typically has a police officer on site and security officers use a metal wand to check the students for weapons, Alaniz said.

Gardena High School is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District. The school has 3,100 students.District spokesman Robert Alaniz told KCBS-TV that a student brought a gun to school in a backpack and it went off when he dropped it.

Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Jamie Moore told The Associated Press that two victims were taken to an area hospital, one in serious condition and one in critical condition.

Curtis Stone:Lindsay Price & Curtis Stone: Date Night

Curtis Stone (born 4 November 1975) is an Australian celebrity chef, author and television personality, nicknamed "The Quiet Terminator" by fans following his performance on The Celebrity Apprentice 3.

In London, he found himself literally knocking on the door of the legendary Marco Pierre White, the youngest chef in the world to be awarded three Michelin stars. His book White Heat was the first cookbook ever given to Curtis. That afternoon he started work at Marco’s restaurant, The Grill Room at Café Royal.

From The Grill Room, Curtis proceeded to Mirabelle as sous-chef and played a large part in creating the Mirabelle Cookbook. He worked at the restaurant for another year, during which time it was awarded a Michelin star. After winning Marco’s trust and respect, Curtis was made head chef at another of White’s flagships, the critically acclaimed Quo Vadis. The restaurant has been a Soho institution since 1926. Karl Marx once lived upstairs, and previous owners included Peppino Leonie and artist Damien Hirst. During Curtis’ four-year stint at Quo Vadis, he was approached by a publisher and included in a book about London’s finest chefs, London on a Plate.

Curtis’ appearance in London on a Plate led to a heightened media profile in the United Kingdom, where he appeared on Taste Today on the Taste Network, Great Food Live on U.K. Food, BBC2’s Saturday Kitchen and ITV’s This Morning. He then filmed the 15-episode television series Dinner in a Box for U.K. Food in 2002.

Curtis filmed his first major series called Surfing the Menu with a tie-in book, Surfing the Menu, for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 2003. In 2004 he hosted an Australian reality series, My Restaurant Rules, for Network 7. Missing the heat of the kitchen, Curtis returned to London to work with Terence Conran on relaunching  the famous Bluebird Club in London’s Chelsea district.
I always wondered about Curtis’ personal life. I had no idea he was dating an actress. He seems like a great guy and he’s a chef to boot.

USA States and Capital Map: need US(United States ) map..??

United States map............

 

Britain's American colonies broke with the mother country in 1776 and were recognized as the new nation of the United States of America following the Treaty of Paris in 1783. During the 19th and 20th centuries, 37 new states were added to the original 13 as the nation expanded across the North American continent and acquired a number of overseas possessions. The two most traumatic experiences in the nation's history were the Civil War (1861-65), in which a northern Union of states defeated a secessionist Confederacy of 11 southern slave states, and the Great Depression of the 1930s, an economic downturn during which about a quarter of the labor force lost its jobs. Buoyed by victories in World Wars I and II and the end of the Cold War in 1991, the US remains the world's most powerful nation state.There are specific maps created for every purpose.  The United States federal government produces hundreds of maps of the United States, ranging from general reference maps to thematic maps which focus on United States history, resources, agriculture, transportation, military installations, recreational areas, and other themes.  Commercial map makers also produce thousands of general and thematic US maps, in forms ranging from atlases to classroom wall maps to small, pocket-sized road maps.

A wealth of United States maps is stored in the vaults of map libraries, historic societies, and land offices.  In most cases, the original maps may be examined onsite, but some map sources such as the Library of Congress and the National Archives offer reproductions for a fee.

Losing only 15% of its opening weekend gross sales, "Elf" was the top-grossing movie for the weekend of November 14-16 with $27.2 million. "Elf" beat the Russell Crowe epic "Master and Commander" (25.7) on its opening weekend as well as last weekend's top grossing movie "The Matrix: Revolutions", which grossed $16.3 million dollars, a 66% drop off .



Industry analysts believe the release of "Elf" so soon before the holiday season has allowed it to build a following through good word of mouth. This should allow "Elf" to hold firm through the through the Thanksgiving and Christmas season, although many conceed it will lose its top ranking to the release of Mike Myers "The Cat In The Hat", which debuts this coming weekend.

Who Gets More Speeding Tickets - .Men or Women?

Who Gets More Speeding Tickets - .Who receives the most speeding tickets? Men or Women?The biggest winners of Million Dollar Money Drop just took home $300000! Yay! Men receive more speeding tix than women!Which one gets more speeding tickets? Men or women?


u have to know about...Speeding Tickets Facts.........
Nobody can deny the fact that speeding tickets are basically issued on a driver who is crossing his driving limits. It is issued to make the citizens more responsible and encourage people to abide by the law of the country. Speeding ticket is levied on the offender to make him realize his fault. Although lots of people over speed, but not all of them get tickets. There are ways which people use to get rid of the speeding tickets. There are many interesting statistics related to speeding tickets. Some of these interesting facts have been presented in the following paragraphs.

People must realize that speed is dangerous, not only to ones own life but to others life as well. One cannot put others life at stake to gain pleasure and merriment. Speed always is compared to being smart by youngsters. But what is speed without direction and smartness without goodness. Speed often comes with a price. Remember!

Generally people like to live a hassle free life and avoid court proceedings.
Some facts about speeding tickets in figures.

1] Total number of people who receive a speeding ticket everyday-100,000

2] Speeding ticket issued in a year-41, 000, 0000

3] One out of 6 drivers is issued speeding tickets.

4] Cost of speeding ticket is $150

5] Total money amassed through speeding ticket fine is $6,150,000,000

6] Cost of insurance hiked for 3 years after one speeding ticket issued is $1050

7] Excess money made by insurance company in a year is $43.500, 000,000

8] Total percentage of people who never contest after receiving speeding ticket is 95%

13] Speeding tickets are more often issued to men than women.

14] Of all professions it is the doctors who receive the maximum number of speeding ticket. This seems to be a bit strange. The doctors are considered to be one of the educated classes who are really learned. They are expected to behave in a very mature way. But on the other hand you may notice that their profession may be really demanding and they must be facing more emergency situations in their lives as compared to anyone else. As they are vital to their patients, they may need to over speed more often than the others to save people.

Life Unexpected: DVD Release Confirms TV Show Cancellation.

It’s a life cut short somewhat unexpectedly.

Though the CW's “Life Unexpected” hasn’t officially been canceled, creator Liz Tigelaar isn't too optmisitc about the fate of the show given the network's decision not to order the remaining back nine episodes needed for a full season.

She's fashioned an ending to the sophomore series about two unlikely parents (Shiri Appleby as Cate and Kristoffer Polaha as Baze) whose lives get turned upside down when their teenage daughter (Britt Robertson as Lux) re-enters their lives.

The two-hour finale airs Tuesday and Tigelaar is confident it will leave fans of the show feeling content.

Tigelaar spoke to ShowTracker about the show, the idea of taking it to another network and tying up loose ends.

'Life Unexpected' executive producer Liz Tigelaar confirmed the news on Facebook. "Hey peeps. It's true, it's real, no back nine," she wrote. "But stranger things have happened when people are invested. So keep watching. We still have half a GREAT season to show you and who knows!!!" [sic]


Fans hoping for a satisfying finale may not get their wish. 'Tigelaar told Zap2It that while season 1 had a set arc, season 2 is much more open.

"If we don't get picked up, I don't anticipate being able to wrap up these stories quickly," she told Zap2It. "I'll hopefully be able to do a satisfying last episode, but it's not going to be where everything wraps up like a series finale. There's no two endings for Episode 13 in case [we don't get picked up]. We barely have time to shoot one ending!"
I am sorry to see the show go. I thought it was a good show with wonderful characters, but it received almost no support from the CW. None of the networks are willing to give a show the opportunity to grow an audience. This is another good show that was allowed to fail.

Is Natalie Portman pregnant? Maybe her loose-fitting dress at the Golden Globe Awards confused some people into thinking that the actress had just eaten a few too many cookies after she was finished with her role in “Black Swan.” She was named Best Actress for that role.

After all, she did lose twenty pounds to play that role last year. Maybe Natalie Portman just ate a little too much after she finally didn’t have to keep her weight down so low to fit into her ballerina costumes.

Sorry, it wasn’t cookies. Natalie Portman is pregnant! She is engaged to Benjamin Millepied, who was one of the choreographers for “Black Swan.”
When it comes to fitness, Us Magazine quotes Portman as saying, "I have been swimming every day." She takes her fitness routine very seriously.

"When I am in my womb-like environment, I am hoping the baby is feeling peaceful," she said. However, with all the award ceremonies this season, it seems like getting some peace and quiet might be difficult for Portman, who is racking in the nominations for her portrayal of Nina in Black Swan.

His mother, Kathlyn, was a drama teacher who gave it up to settle down in Virginia and raise a family, although it was never in doubt that Beatty and his sister, the actress and dancer Shirley MacLaine, would themselves be raised to pursue stardom - each was urged to be successful and achieve from a very early age.

He found his first screen role, in the TV sitcom "The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis" (1959), to be "ridiculous" and quickly abandoned it to work on the Broadway stage, the highlight of which was his Tony-nominated performance in "A Loss of Roses".

About the great Billy Walters:Billy Walters video

Billy Walters maintained a low profile in Las Vegas. If he appeared at a sports book it was usually around midnight. when he might come to open a betting account with $100,000 or more in cash - however much he could fit in a Famous Amos Cookies bag. As for more public matters, he preferred that business be conducted by Glen Walker. So Walker would visit the Las Vegas sports books each day, to settle up or place bets, and fend off the legions of bettors who wanted to know which games the computer liked that week. He worked with three other group employees at the "C&B Collection Agency," which was a front for their betting operation. His colleagues would meet there, at an office park on Spring Mountain Road., when they weren't moving money out of Billy Walters' house.



By and large, though, there was little humor in their work. On a Saturday of college basketball they might bet 60 games, which required that they be aware of every injury, casualty and rumor surrounding all 120 teams. They had to chart the movement of the point spreads in various sports books for each game. They had to find the weakest lines, and they had to make and keep track of their wagers by the hundreds. They worked almost every day from September through March. Some days they would start at 6 a.m. and finish at midnight. Always Walters felt obliged to protect the Computer's information from the public, because these numbers were as valuable to him personally as they were to the group. His employees never even heard mention of the name Ivan Mindlin. The voice delivering the daily betting orders was known only as "Doc" or "Cowboy," and Billy Walters would say nothing more to identify him.

Occasionally, however, it paid to be careless. On a Wednesday afternoon, ever so casually, Billy Walters might tell Glen Walker to make a call over to the old Gary Austin Sports Book on the strip. "We want to lay $30,000 on Wisconsin giving 3 to Purdue," Billy Walters would tell him.

Walters knew that several wise guys would be passing time near the counter at Gary Austin's. And they would notice that the line favoring Wisconsin over Purdue would rise to 3 1/2 points. And they would ask who was responsible for moving the line, and they would be told the truth: That $30,000 had just been laid by the computer. And then..

The wise guys would bet on Wisconsin themselves. These wise guys would whisper to other wise guys. Tout services would hear that the computer liked Wisconsin. A run would begin on Wisconsin. News of Wisconsin would spread nationally. By the time word reached the man in Louisiana or the woman in Illinois, there would be no mention of the Computer Group. They would simply be told that they had better get something down on Wisconsin. You can see now that the betting market in Las Vegas is no different than Wall Street. Fed by rumor, speculation and greed, a stock like Wisconsin can grow hot for no substantial reason.

By Thursday or Friday, Wisconsin might be inflated to a 5-point favorite, 5 1/2 in some markets. At this point Billy Walters believed the price could rise no higher, and so he would marshal his forces: "Open order on Purdue taking 5!" In moments, they would be on their speed-dial phones, reaching every available source nationwide, betting as much as they could wherever Purdue was a 5-point underdog. They were a frantic yet focused group inside the "C&B Collection Agency," attempting to flood all the markets simultaneously, before the point spread could drop. Into one phone they would shout a few words and then hang up while dialing another number on another phone, back and forth, until they were frazzled. In two minutes Walters alone could place bets through a dozen beards or bookies.
Brief acknowledgment that this successful gambler has directed some of his diligently grubbed-out winnings to philanthropic purposes...
Beyond that (as commented above), exactly how is this piece 'news'? And if it was some kind of "celebrity" profile, please buck the trend (going forward) and up your news magazine's selection standards.

How absurd that this gambler was also provided a forum for broad-brush castigation of "Wall Street", at least indirectly impugning the many honest, hardworking professionals making a legitimate living in the financial sector of the above-ground economy

Schneier on Security:Stuxnet

Stuxnet is a Windows-specific computer worm first discovered in July 2010 by VirusBlokAda, a security firm based in Belarus. While it is not the first time that hackers have targeted industrial systems, it is the first discovered worm that spies on and reprograms industrial systems,[2] and the first to include a programmable logic controller (PLC) rootkit. It was specifically written to attack Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems used to control and monitor industrial processes. Stuxnet includes the capability to reprogram the PLCs and hide its changes.Stuxnet, which first made headlines in July, (CNET FAQ here) is believed to be the first known malware that targets the controls at industrial facilities such as power plants. At the time of its discovery, the assumption was that espionage lay behind the effort, but subsequent analysis by Symantec uncovered the ability of the malware to control plant operations outright, as CNET first reported back in mid-August.
actually this person has a good idea of how black ops like these work. remember sometimes fictional stories r created to illustrate real life applications. personally i hope it was an attack by the USA(im American) on an enemy that has threatened and promised to nuke both us and our allies. wish the virus had blown up the plant or made the rector inert

About the film Holes

Holes is a 2003 film based on the novel of the same title by Louis Sachar, who also wrote the screenplay, with Shia LaBeouf as the lead role of Stanley Yelnats. The film was produced by Walden Media and released by Walt Disney Pictures.


At the beginning of the story, Stanley Yelnats IV, a shy, overweight boy who always ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time, supposedly due to a family curse, has been wrongly accused of stealing the baseball player Clyde Livingston’s shoes from a charity auction to benefit a homeless shelter. The judge offered Stanley the option for his 18-month punishment to be served at a juvenile detention facility or at a place called Camp Green Lake. Stanley tells the judge that he hadn't been to camp before, so he gets sent there. At Camp Green Lake, Stanley and his fellow campers, all delinquents, are forced to dig holes to “build their character”. Stanley later learns the Warden of Camp Green Lake is not interested in building the boys' character, but instead is searching for a buried treasure, which she has not found. After some time, Stanley finds a lipstick tube enscribed with "KB", the initials of the Wild West outlaw, Kissin’ Kate Barlow.

"These are the games you play for. What you spend all year getting ready for and you just want to put your best foot forward," Welker said with a straight face.
