President Obama at the 2013 White House Corresdents Dinner


President Obama last night joined Conan O'Brien onstage at the Washington Hilton for the annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, and gave his fifth address to the organization of journalists who cover the White House, and the President himself. In his remarks, the President poked at himself, as well as some of the news organizations and politicians in the room. He also showed a spoof promo for Steven Spielberg's followup to "LIncoln," a biopic called "Obama."

But while everyone had a good laugh during the speech, President Obama closed his speech on  a more serious note, reminding the audience of the important role the media plays in American society, especially during times of crisis like the Boston Marathon bombings and the explosion that killed so many first responders in West,Texas.

Will Chael Sonnen really retire


I can't quite shake the feeling the next time Chael Sonnen appears behind the desk on Fuel TV's UFC Tonight, he'll already be working his next angle.Maybe between now and whenever he returns to television, he'll decide that he could have fought through the final flurry against JonJones at the end of the first round on Saturday night, and should have been awarded the title on a default when Jones would have been ruled unable to continue due to his toe injury.Maybe he'll put a marquee light heavyweight or middleweight on blast and start firing verbal volleys.Maybe the pride of West Linn, Ore. really has it in his head he's going to give this retirement thing a whirl. But when presented with an opportunity down the road -- maybe a shot as a high-profile substitute -- he simply won't be able to refuse.With Chael P. Sonnen, you never know.

NBA legend Michael Jordan marries model Yvette Prieto in Florida


NBA legend Michael Jordan married Cuban-American model Yvette Prieto at a Florida church Saturday – the same one where mogul Donald Trump held his nuptials in 2005.

 Jordan, 50, and Prieto, 35, were reportedly married before approximately 500 guests, including ex-New York Knick Patrick Ewing and one-time teammate Scottie Pippen, at the Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Palm Beach.

 The Miami Herald reports that a black tuxedo-clad Jordan, who is now majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, shot a thumbs-up upon arrival to the between 20 and 30 starry-eyed fans who gathered for the event.

 Jordan has three children with his ex-wife, Juanita Vanoy, to whom he was married in 1989. The hoops legend and Vanoy filed for divorce in 2002, but reconciled before their final separation in 2006.

Saturday’s ceremony was reportedly followed by a massive reception at Jordan’s palatial, 37,000-square-foot house in Jupiter.  The Heraldreports that the gala affair was held under three enormous tents that spanned the length of two football fields.

 “I calculated a total under-roof space of about 600 feet long by 150 feet wide,” an unidentified worker told The Herald. “I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve been working weddings for a while. It looks like he’s having about 2,000 people over.”

People Magazine reports that Prieto met Jordan at a Miami nightclub in 2008, and the couple have been dating since then.

Mediterranean diet over low fat


Scientists say, you can have your wine and eat the nuts that go with it, and be healthier in the bargain. A rigorous new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine should finally put to rest any doubts about whether a Mediterranean diet -- rich in olive oil or nuts as well as fish, with a glass of wine per day also allowed -- promotes better cardiovascular health than the way most of us eat. It does.
That might not be surprising, but up to now, advice on the Mediterranean diet has been based on correlation: People in Mediterranean areas that tend to follow that way of eating experienced lower incidence of stroke and other cardiovascular problems. Could the difference have been genetic? Could people who ate that way also be doing other things that made the crucial difference? The new study, conducted in Spain, randomly assigned a large number of subjects to different eating styles, made sure they were following it and measured results -- not lab-test results but illness and death.
But what about the long-standing battle between those who believe that a very low-fat diet is the best way to fend off cardiac risk, and those who espouse a way of eating much higher in the so-called good fats? Should all of the people carefully counting their daily fat grams give up the effort and take a spoonful of medicine in the form of olive oil? (Or, as the study had it, four tablespoons a day -- close to 500 calories of fat before you've eaten a solid thing.) Here the situation is much more complicated.
The study meant to compare the two. The control group was supposed to eat a low-fat diet. The problem, as reported in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journalwas that those people barely reduced their fat intake, even after receiving additional coaching. That's why the article words things this way:
"We designed a randomized trial to test the efficacy of two Mediterranean diets (one supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil and another with nuts), as compared with a control diet (advice on a low-fat diet), on primary cardiovascular prevention."
The researchers could have made that clearer at the get-go: Receiving advice on a diet isn't the same as eating that way most days. So the actual comparison was between a Mediterranean diet and the standard way of eating among Spaniards (who apparently, in many ways, are not following a Mediterranean diet no matter what their geographical location happens to be).
What this study may have shown us about the difference between Mediterranean and low fat is that the former is easier to follow. There were no big problems getting subjects to ingest olive oil, wine and seafood. Low fat? Not so much.
The believers in low-fat diets could legitimately argue that the control group received too little coaching and support for their way of eating. But there's also a reality that has to be taken into account. No matter what future research shows about the value of a low-fat or very low-fat diet, when it comes to improving public health, we might need not just a healthier diet but one that large numbers of people will find sustainable over a lifetime.

How to get Big and Beautiful Lashes


Do you want to have a beautiful lashes here are some tips.

"Use that 30-second window before your mascara dries to work the wand," says Sarah Lucero, Stila pro makeup artist. Start with curled lashes and two coats of mascara, then try one of these tricks.
1. Elongate your center lashes. Use the tip of your brush to stretch the middle lashes upward.
2. Next, define the bottom lash line and then emphasize the center lashes with the tip of your brush.

To Look Well Rested

Carefully coat your baby lashes (the tiny inside-corner hairs). "It brightens the whites of your eyes," says Lucero. You need very little mascara, so clean off the tip of the wand first.

To Get an Instant Eye Lift

Add an extra coat of mascara to the outermost lashes and hold the brush for a few seconds to set.

Highlights and Analysis: Champions League Semifinals, Barcelona at Bayern Munich


Thomas Müller scored two goals and set up two others as Bayern Munich thrashed visiting Barcelona, 4-0, on Tuesday in a Champions Leaguesemifinal.

The eagerly anticipated showdown between European heavyweights, both former winners of the competition, was a complete mismatch. Bayern dominated the midfield even as it surrendered much of the possession, frustrating Barcelona’s passing game before it could get close enough to create chances. Then Bayern punished the Catalans on set pieces at the other end, dominating the air — at times simply bullying Barcelona into submission.

Barcelona had hoped to get a boost from its star Lionel Messi, who returned from a hamstring injury sustained in the quarterfinal, but the tiny Argentine — unable to find an inch of space and clearly not fit — was virtually invisible all game.

Barcelona never seemed to have a chance. Losing his marker in the 25th minute, Müller drove in a header for the opening goal. Four minutes after halftime, he headed a ball off a corner kick into the goalmouth, where Mario Gomez swept it in. The visitors were stunned, and it only got worse.

Müller set a crushing pick on a defender to free Arjen Robben to score from a tight angle in the 73rd minute, and then slid in to add his second goal in the 82nd.

By then Barcelona seemed to be praying for the end, just wanting to get out of Bavaria and hopefully turn things around at its Camp Nou stadium next week. But a four-goal deficit will be almost impossible to erase, making it highly likely now that Bayern will face the Real Madrid-Borussia Dortmund winner in the final at Wembley on May 25.

Earth Day


It’s a bad sign when the biggest news on Earth Day is an animated Google doodle of nature, wherein a blue stream flows from a snow-covered mountain pass into a fish-filled lake surrounded by trees and fields—yet that was the best that most outlets could muster on Monday, the 43rd anniversary of the environmental holiday.

It’s sad. As climate change became a major media story in the mid-2000s, it seemed to galvanize renewed concern about environmental issues in general. Magazines, in particular, adopted the habit of publishing Greenissues in Marchand April, to mark the occasion of Earth Day. There were half a dozen in 2007 and twice as many in 2008.Time even changed its iconic red border to green for a cover that used the famous World War II photograph of soldiers raising a flagpole at Iwo Jima:
The Green issues contained some fluff, to be sure, about biking to work and switching to compact fluorescent light bulbs, but most content was substantive reporting on everything from agriculture to energy to zoology. Unfortunately, the fad was short-lived, and by 2010, they were no more.

Instead of powerful cover images, readers now get the Google doodle, which wasn’t even scientifically accurate in a number of respects, as Bad Astronomer Phil Plaitt explained at Slate. It’s not Google that deserves criticism, however, but rather all the news outlets that produced utterly innocuous Earth Day coverage.
There were a few exceptions, of course. Nicholas Lemann, the dean of Columbia Journalism School, which publishes CJR, reviewed the history of the environmental movement for The New Yorker in order to glean “political lessons” about the failure of climate-change legislation in Congress in 2009, which he called, “a humiliating defeat as unexpected as the success of Earth Day had been.”
Echoing the conclusions of two scholarly reports that came out earlier this year, Lemann suggested that while “today’s environment movement is vastly bigger, richer, and better connected than it was in 1970,” it’s also “vastly less successful” due to a focus on Beltway politics rather than broad-based, grassroots organizing.
As if to carry the torch of that argument, journalist-turned-climate activist Bill McKibben wrote an essay for Rolling Stone about “The Fossil

Anonymous and Libertarians Protest CISPA; Tech Giants Don't Give a Damn


About 400websites are taking part in an online blackout today to protest the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act(CISPA)

The web-based demonstration, organized by the hacktivist organization, Anonymous, is not likely to interfere with the average web user's day, unless that user frequently posts funny videos on Reddit. 

CISPA, a controversial bill that aims to boost cybersecurity by removing legal barriers that prevent tech companies and the government from sharing sensitive information about web users, sailed through the Houselast week, despite strong opposition from privacy groups and President Barack Obama, who is threatening to veto the current version of the bill. Early last year,  the StopOnline Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA), two online copyright enforcement bills, spurredwidespread blackouts involving more than 7,000 websites and tech giants, including Wikipedia and Google, yet the biggest websites willing to take a public stand against CISPA merely include various subsections of Reddit and a Facebook page for the Libertarian party

"Unfortunately, there have not been any confirmed reports of larger companies joining the protest," says a spokesperson for Anonyops, a website that reports news on the activities of Anonymous. "SOPA threatened to take down websites that even linked to copyright infringed material, so for companies that allow their users to post freely on their sites [like Facebook, Google+, and Reddit] this would have been devastating. CISPA mostly effects the user's of these services, and doesn't cut into profits of these big companies, and let's face it, that's why they're a business, to make a profit."

"We've been running ads against CISPA for the past few months, but we didn't think the timing was right for us to participate in today's blackout," says Erik Martin, general manager at Reddit, the social news site. "We're going to plan more action closer to the vote in the Senate, but in the meantime, the [independently controlled] subreddits are becoming kind of a lab for how you raise awareness on something important like this. Some of them are blackedout, others are posting about it."

Molly Schwoppe, a spokesperson for the Libertarian party, tells MotherJones that the party is "vehemently opposed to CISPA" but refused to confirm whether or not the Facebook page holding the blackout officially belonged to the party.

CISPA was first introduced in late 2011 by Rep. Michael Rogers (R-Mich.), but the measure failed to advance through the Senate. Rogers and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) reintroduced the bill in February of this year.  Dozens of civil-liberties-minded groups have cried foul and opposed the bill on the grounds that it delivers personal information like emails and Internet records straight to the hands of the government, which could freely use all this information for vague national security purposes. 

"This bill undermines the privacy of millions of Internet users" Rainey Reitman, activism director for the Electronic Frontier Foundation said in a press release. The Obama administration last week declared that it "remains concerned that the bill does not require private entities to take reasonable steps to remove irrelevant personal information when sending cybersecurity data to the government or other private sector entities."
But privacy concerns may not be enough to stop the bill. 

CISPA supporters spent 140 times more money on lobbying for the bill that its opponents, according to the SunlightFoundation. Big-name companies that openly support CISPA include AT&T, Intel, IBM, Time Warner Cable, and Verizon, and other tech giants are  quietly on board, including Google and Facebook, which released a statement arguing that "if the government learns of an intrusion or other attack, the more it can share about that attack with private companies (and the faster it can share the information), the better the protection for users and our systems." Facebook also claims that if shares data with the government, it will safeguard user information. 

Anonyops isn't so optimistic. "Do I find it hypocritical [that tech companies are supporting CISPA]? It could be seen that way, after all," its spokesperson says. "These companies do have privacy policies, which is the very thing that CISPA would basically make void."

Apple (AAPL) Profit Beats Forecast


AppleInc. [NASDAQ: AAPL] reported better than expected earnings for the second quarter, but hinted at the sum of all fears on Wall Street as it revealed disappointing guidance for the next quarter.

The company's earnings release after the financial markets closed on Tuesday announced an increase in a stock buyback program to $60 billion from $10 billion. Apple increased its dividend by 15 percent to $3.05 a share.
Apple announced revenue of $43.6 billion in the second quarter, higher than the $42 billion expected on sales of 37.4 million iPhones and 19.5 million iPads. But it said that sales for the coming quarter will be $33.5 billion to $35.5 billion, below the $38.25 billion Wall Street was forecasting.
The stock was up about 5 percent in after-hours trading to about $426.
"I think it really comes down to the stock buyback and dividend overruling the earnings," said JJ Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist of TDAmeritrade. "The earnings were good, not great. But the fact that they announced an expanded stock buyback program and increased dividend per share per quarter sent the stock price up."
The company's stock had taken a beating in recent weeks, falling more than 13 percent since the last earnings report in January. It's down 40 percent from its peak last fall amid reports that the tech giant is losing its mojo and has new no exciting products like the iPad or iPhone to offer. Still, Apple is one of the most profitable companies in the U.S., earning $13 billion in the quarter ended in December.
The company reported profit fell 18 percent to $9.55 billion in the last quarter.
"Expectations are so low, they actually had a chance to beat the street," said Kinahan.
BrianColello, Morningstar senior equity analyst, said he was looking for three aspects of the earnings report on Tuesday.
The first, of course, is the tech company's revenue and sales figures for the first three months of the year. This report is the first time that Apple has given a range for its revenue forecast, instead of a conservative forecast.
"There wasn't a big expectation for upside or a massive earnings beat," Colello said.
The second item Colello is its outlook for the next quarter. However, because Apple does not reveal the timing of its new product releases, an earnings outlook would be a wildcard.
"If it's an especially weak outlook, certainly it would be bad, but if a new iPhone were to come out in July, it would be more palatable," Colello said.
He expected June's forecast to be worse than March, especially for the iPhone, because many customers will be holding off for a possible new model.
However, Colello expects continued sales of the iPad ahead for students and educators ahead of the back-to-school shopping season.
Colello expected around 36 to 37 million iPhone sales in the last quarter and 17 to 18 million iPads.
Apple announced that it sold 37.4 million iPhones compared to 35.1 million a year ago. The firm sold 19.5 million iPads in the quarter, up from 11.8 million a year ago.
The last announcement that many investors expected Apple to make was a dividend of stock buyback to use its pile of cash, which was reported to grow as large as $170 billion by the end of the year.
Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's CFO, announced that its ending cash balance is $145 billion for the quarter.
The company also announced gross margin of between 36 and 37 percent.
Kinahan said Wall Street analysts had hoped for gross margin of about 40 percent.

WGST returns June 3, all syndicated with Glenn Beck, Dave Ramsey


Clear Channel Atlanta dumped news/talk 640/WGST-AM in late September in favor of a syndicated sports Hispanic talk format ESPN Desportes. But it has changed its mind after a mere eight months.

On June 3, the company plans to bring WGST back - but without Rush Limbaugh, which had been the station's most popular host for many years.

Limbaugh moved to AM750 and 95.5FM News/Talk WSB.

This latest incarnation of WGST has dumped any local programming during weekdays, opting for all syndication.
But WGST will be bringing back both Glenn Beck (9 a.m. to noon) and Dave Ramsey (2 p.m. to 6 p.m.). Both shows are currently on 1160/WCFO-AM. (Jeff Davis, who runs that station, declined to comment after informed of this news.)

AndreaTantaros, who is part of the Fox News' "The Five," will be the syndicated host from noon to 2 p.m. The Wall Street Journal This Morning will be the morning show.

ESPNDesportes has been bringing in a fraction of what WGST had been drawing before the change. ESPN drew just a 0.2 rating in January and February but increased to 0.4 in March. In comparison, WGST was bringing in a 1.2 to 1.5 through the first nine months of 2012.
GST had tried local talk in two dayparts in 2011-12: mornings and afternoon, including Rob Johnson in mornings and RustyHumphries in afternoons. It didn't impact ratings all that much.

For many fans of GST, the station had become a shadow of its former self by 2012.  Many still miss Kim "the Kimmer" Peterson and Tom Hughes. The station's heyday was the 1990s when it had the Braves and competed with WSB aggressively. An FM simulcast that reached into the outer burbs helped. But it was in steady retreat through the 2000s after it lost the FM simulcast.

Glenn Beck Reveals Controversial Intel on Saudi National Once Suspect in Boston Bombings


After highlighting that some of his sources are now under threat of 20-yearprison terms, conservative political commentator Glenn Beck revealed intelligence on Monday that questions the exoneration of a Saudinational once considered a suspect in the Boston bombings by federalagents.

"We don't know at this point how he was involved … but I do know he was involved," said Beck on The Blaze TV.

"You can ask yourself this question, 'How many times does lightning have to strike in the first place for this guy to be at the scene of the crime and in the hospital and not be involved?" he added.

Last week, Beck primed his audience for the explosive revelation of the story that could be the most important story "of our lifetime."

Claiming that he wanted the federal government to come clean with the Americanpeople, he gave them until this Monday to tell the truth about the Saudi national. In referring to the former suspect, he said: "We know [he] is a very bad, bad, bad man," while flipping three fingers indication three unspoken reasons why.

On Monday, when federal authorities failed to respond to his ultimatum, Beck revealed the questionable circumstances under which Saudi national Abdul Rahman Ali Issa Al-Salimi Al-Harbi, or Alharbi was downgraded from a dangerous suspected terrorist to essentially a "nobody" by federal authorities.

In his report, Beck disclosed that Al-Harbi was first identified as a person of interest in the Boston bombings and noted that the U.S.Customs and Border Protection's National Targeting Center had issued an event file recommending his deportation under section 212, 3B indication "proven terrorist activity."

"We are not sure who actually tagged him as a '212 3B,' but we know it is very difficult to charge someone with this — it has to be almost certain," Beck explained. "It is the equivalent in civil society of charging someone with premeditated murder and seeking the death penalty — it is not thrown around lightly."

Beck further explained that Secretary of State John Kerry later met with Saudi Foreign Minister Saud last Tuesday then the FBI began "backtracking on the Saudi national from suspect, to person of interest, to witness, to victim, to nobody," according to TheBlaze report.

Then last Wednesday, President Barack Obama reportedly had a "chance" encounter with Saudi Foreign Minister Saud and Saudi Ambassador Adelal-Jubeir. Later that day, Al-Harbi's event file was altered.

"Wednesday at 5:35 p.m. the file is altered," explained Beck in his report. "This is unheard of, this is impossible in the timeline due to the severity of the charge …. You don't one day put a 212 3B charge against somebody with deportation, and then the next day take it off. It would require too much to do it."

Among other evidence, Beck pointed out that the Saudi national was once flagged on a terror watch list but was granted a student visa to enter the U.S. Anyway.

In another report from Okaz.com and translated for The Blaze by Steven Miller, a research associate with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, Al-Harbi allegedly says federal authorities only asked him about what he saw during the bombings, apologized and promised him "special health care."

"He clarified that security officials asked him to focus on what he saw before the bombings, and on the nature of the event [to see] if he remembers what happened around him … he thanked American authorities who refuted media allegations about his status as a suspect …," according to the report.

Beck promised on his show that there is more intelligence to be revealed possibly well into next week.

Ryan Lochte Prepped For New Reality Show By Watching The Kardashians


As of Sunday night, Ryan Lochte is no longer just an Olympic athlete; he is a reality TV star. Lochte is no stranger to diligent training, but prepping for life on the small screen as star of E!'s "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" was quite the change. Instead of spending hours practicing in the pool, Ryan prepped on the couch by watching "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

According to Lochte, his first response to finding out about his TV show was "that's awesome," followed closely by seeking lessons from the girls with the ultimate reality-show success story, the Kardashians.

 "I wanted to prepare myself, so that's when I started watching the Kardashians' show, to just know what to expect when I start shooting for my show," Lochte said.

But watching the Kardashians' show was not all research for Ryan — he also looks up to Kim. (Like Kim, Ryan has dabbled in fashion — designing shoes, suits, swimsuits and shirts — but wants to wait to start anything serious until he "hangs up his Speedo.") "I have the most respect for her; she started from the bottom, now she's here," Ryan explained to MTV News, using Drake's newest song hook when asked if he'd like to follow in her footsteps.

"What I mean by that is she pretty much started from nothing and now she can't walk down the street without someone taking a picture or noticing her. I mean, who wouldn't want that? That's awesome. So did I mean that? Yeah, that's pretty cool." Unfortunately for Ryanand Kim fans, Kardashian will not be making any cameos on "WWRLD" because the two have never met.
As Lochte begins his television career, Kim will likely be taking some time away from hers as she nears the end of her pregnancy. As her new channel-mate, Ryan explains that since she's part of the E! family, she might get some "little Lochte shoes" from him as a baby gift, or, if appropriate, a baby Speedo. In that case, perhaps the birth of Kim's baby will finally lead Kardashian and Lochte to meet face to face. In the meantime, Ryan has plenty to keep him busy — not just the first season of his new show, but the approaching 2016 Olympics.
