Mexican president commemorates Cinco de Mayo

Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto is commemorating Cinco de Mayo by urging his countrymen to tackle current problems with the same "unity and commitment" that defeated the French 151 years ago.

PenaNieto says the holiday celebrates principles that, in his words, "encourage the political forces and federal government to pursue a transformative reform agenda that the country demands and needs."

Cincode Mayo marks the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, when Mexicantroops defeated a French army of Napoleon III, then considered the mightiest military in the world.

The anniversary was marked Sunday with a military parade in the city of Puebla, where the battle took place. It is considered a bigger holiday in the U.S., celebrating Mexican heritage with parades and revelry in many major cities.

May Day protests: From Bangladesh to Europe, angry workers rally in the tens of thousands

In Jakarta, Indonesia, some of the tens of thousands of demonstrators marching through the city came dressed as ants – complete with bright red outfits and antennae – to depict the exploitation of workers. 

And in Greece, trains, buses, and ferries sat vacant and hospitals nearly empty as thousands of public sector employees walked off the job in a one-day strike.

Each year, May 1, better known as May Day, is marked with labor rallies and strikes around the world. And this year's holiday came at a particularly prescient moment in many parts of the world. 

From Europe, where the bite of austerity has left many facing down unemployment and reduced benefits, to South and SoutheastAsia, a region cluttered with precariously-built factories similar to the one that collapsed last week in Bangladesh, demonstrators gathered to vent outrage and demand reform.

“My brother has died. My sister has died. Their blood will not be valueless,” yelled one Bangladeshi protestor through a crackling loudspeaker, according to the Associated Press.

As the march wove through downtown Dhaka, rescue workers in the industrial suburb of Savar continued their search for bodies and survivors in the rubble of Rana Plaza, which collapsed suddenly on April 24 with thousands of garment workers inside.

The disaster at the factory, which manufactured clothing for several low-end Western retailers, touched off global outrage about the working conditions of garment workers across the developing world. In Phnom Pehn, Cambodia, workers rallied for higher wages and safer working conditions. In Manila, Philipines, where labor unions are banned, workers marched to demand the right to organize. And in HongKong, thousands turned out in support of striking dock workers, calling for wages that would help close the income gap between the country’s rich and its poor.

Call of Duty: Ghosts Goes To War Against Battlefield 4 As Activision And Electronic Arts Shoot For Next Gen

There’s a war brewing. Activision and developer Infinity Ward are launching the new Call of Duty: Ghosts game on November 5, just after Electronic Arts and DICE release Battlefield 4 on October 25. It’s another epic battle between two of the most popular shooter franchises out there.

Activision blew away EA last year when Call of Duty: Black Ops II from Treyarch obliterated Medal of Honor Warfighter from EA and Danger Close Games. But the confrontation was much closer the year before when Battlefield 3 took on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Of course, the Call of Duty franchise doesn’t really have any “close” competition, except perhaps for Microsoft’s Halo franchise. Activision has seen its COD games top $1 billion in sales and break records for the last four years. These games have also managed to have long tails thanks to online game play that has kept them relevant even after a new COD franchise has launched. Activision keeps things fresh with COD events featuring NFL stars like Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl Champion Ray Rice. See more..

Why Amanda Bynes is not eligible for conservatorship, while Britney Spears is

Even though it seems former actress and child star Amanda Bynes is unraveling before our eyes, experts say the now 27-year-old "retired" entertainer doesn't yet qualify for any form of parental or court-ordered conservatorship.

The star has been spotted wandering strangely around New York City, shaving half her head, tweeting obscene things about her affection for musician Drake, posting videos of herself mumbling in front of the mirror, and on Tuesday, even tweeting pics of herself in a bra.

Bynes' behavior reportedly has the children in her apartment building scared, too.

And while some of her actions are reminiscent of a 2007 Britney Spears, whose very public meltdown culminated in her shaving her own head and later led to -- and still requires -- a legal conservatorship, one court expert tells us there is nothing like that in the works for Bynes.

"There are two main standards that courts look at as far as conservatorships. The first is the person a danger to themselves  -- Spears was and demonstrated that often -- and the second is whether the person a danger to society. Britney Spears was, and to her two children as well," legal consultant and alternative sentencing expert Wendy Feldman told FOX411's Pop Tarts column. "Amanda seems to have a serious mental illness, but that does not meet the standard in court. There is no record of suicide attempts or drugoverdoses, and in public, she is a loner."

According to Radar Online, Bynes -- who earned serious cash first as a Nickelodeon star and later in other films, shows and even with her own clothing line -- demanded access to her millions a few months ago. The money had been put away in investments by her parents and lawyers while she was growing up in an effort to secure her future. But now, she's apparently spending without limitation. 

TheRichest.org has Amanda Bynes listed with a net worth of $8 million.

"Amanda doesn’t qualify for an involuntary, emergency commitment in New York because she’s done nothing that is likely to result in serious harm to self or others. You could say she’s acting like a typical New Yorker – making goofy videos, wearing odd hairstyles, talking to herself, staying up all night, tweeting and spending money like water. It’s a free country," said attorney Larry Bodine of Lawyers.com, adding that there is no legal action her parents can take.

And just last month, Bynes was in the headlines for being escorted from a gymnastics class in New York City after she broke down crying when he wig fell off during a cartwheel, and posting Twitter photographs of herself in everything from blonde wigs to blue lipstick. 

"She has made one smart decision though," a source added. "She got off the roads in Los Angeles and moved to New York where she can take the subway and not endanger others."

Bynes is still not in clear in California, where her driving began in March last year when she was stopped by L.A. police for talking on her cell phone while driving, arrested and charged for driving under the influence after side-swiping a cop car, and was accused of hit-and-run in two separate accidents.

Bynes's parents, still based in California, could not be reached for comment.

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.
