Facebook Will be Closed March 15

Here is the question going viral right now that people are asking “Is Facebook Shutting Down?” There seems to be a ridiculous rumor that March 15 is the date Facebook will be ending.

 

Goldman Sachs has recently invested $500 millon on Facebook. I don’t think Facebook will shut down soon.

 

Are sure that facebook will be closed in march 15?

Headlines News: An Earthquake Shakes Puerto Rico

(CNN) -- A magnitude 5.1 earthquake hit Puerto Rico on Friday, rattling residents but causing no immediate reports of damage.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake, which occurred at 7:43 p.m. (6:43 p.m. ET), stuck about 15 miles (25 kilometers) south of San Juan. It was some 64 miles deep, the USGS said.

There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

A Federal Aviation Administration official said the international airport in San Juan was open and operating normally.

"It lasted about 30 seconds and felt hard. Some guests did get a little scared," said Venus Nevarez, an employee at the El San Juan Hotel and Casino. She said nothing broke and that all the guests were fine.

Where Is Santa Claus Mrs. Obama?

0 comments

HONOLULU — Want to know where Santa is? Just ask Michelle Obama.

 

The first lady is answering calls from children checking in with the "Tracks Santa" program of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). With the help of NORAD's Santa Route Schedule, Mrs. Obama is telling children Santa's whereabouts as he makes his journey around the world on Christmas Eve.

The NORAD program has been helping children track Santa since 1955.

The Obamas are spending the holidays in Hawaii, the president's home state. The first family has no public events scheduled for their vacation, though locals are hoping the Obamas will make a few stops around town as they have in past years.

Orlando Magic Skidding

Thursday, December 23, 2010

ORLANDO -- Amid mounting losses, a brutal stretch in the schedule and trying to get four new players adjusted on the fly, Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy felt the last thing his team needed after having played games on consecutive nights was a day off.

Apparently, there's no rest for the reeling in Orlando.

So instead of enjoying what otherwise would have been a work-free day coming off a back-to-back set, the Magic pushed through a two-hour practice session Wednesday afternoon.

The rare move to conduct a workout amid such a busy stretch is part of the Orlando's attempt to fast-track the acclimation process after acquiring Gilbert Arenas, Jason Richardson, Hedo Turkoglu and Earl Clark in trades Saturday.

Orlando (16-12) has lost four consecutive games, including its last two since parting with Rashard Lewis, Vince Carter, Marcin Gortat, Mickael Pietrus, a first-round draft pick and cash in the first major trade of the season.

Arenas, Richardson, Turkoglu have played two games with the Magic, but had not practiced with their new teammates until Wednesday.

"It's real tough right now, but we don't have a choice," Van Gundy said. "We just have to get some things done -- trying not to kill them, but still get things done. And they've just got to suck it up a little bit. It's a tough stretch, but we've got to get it up and running. There's just no other way to do it."

Van Gundy said it was his first time as a head coach that he had to call his team in to work the day after it played games the previous two nights. The Magic lost Monday on the road against Atlanta and fell at home Tuesday against Dallas.

Van Gundy is also in the midst of another first with the Magic. The team has lost eight of its last nine games, which marks the worst stretch Orlando has had since the 2006-07 season, the year before Van Gundy arrived.

The Magic spent most of Wednesday's session working on defensive adjustments and watching film in preparation for Thursday's home game against San Antonio. Orlando plays Boston on Saturday to finish off a week in which it will have faced teams with the league's three best records in succession.

In the two games they've played without the benefit of any practice time, Arenas, Turkoglu and Richardson shot a combined 13 of 53 from the field and have struggled with defensive rotations.

"I know everyone is expecting us to come in and just save everything really quick, but we've got to get adapted," Arenas said Wednesday. "I know most of the guys wanted the day off. But the new guys needed to learn what their concepts are. It's hard to go into a game and go on the fly. Little things that killed us [Tuesday] night, we went over today. And that's what we needed. It hasn't set in yet."

Magic center Dwight Howard declined to speak with reporters after Wednesday's practice. But he said after Tuesday's loss to Dallas that it was almost unfair to expect so much this soon from the newcomers, including Turkoglu, who's just starting his second stint with the team.

"Having four new guys come in, not knowing anything offensively or defensively, is tough," Howard said Tuesday. "When the other teams score, coach couldn't get mad or anything. He just knew, like, 'Hey, they don't know.' Once the guys learn the rotations, the system & we'll be fine. Keep home alive."

Before Wednesday's practice, Richardson said his initial indoctrination into the Magic's scheme involved running sets in hotel ballrooms during shootarounds before games.

"Pretending like a basket was there, making make-believe layups," Richardson said. "I wanted the day off, but we needed this practice. We really hadn't been on the court as a practice. It was good to go out there. It was actually good to have a rim to shoot at instead of a make-believe."

Transport Delays In Heathrow Airport

0 comments

After nearly a week of severe travel chaos in Britain, the transport network started to pull away from so many delays and cancellations on Wednesday. One thing working for them is that forecasters say the snow is really slowing down and there relatively won’t be any.

 

Heathrow Airport has been the worst affected by the weather and only operated about one-third of its services on Tuesday. However, about two-thirds of their services were operating yesterday. It will still take some time for the airport to get back to normal as they clear out their backlog.

 

Other airports seem to be coping with the weather better as well and should be close to operating as normal by tomorrow. It’s still best for passengers to check with their airport’s website for flight information, or contact the airline directly.

Rail services are doing better as well, with Eurostar operating about 90% of its services. There were some delays yesterday, however. National Rail said that 70% of their trains were running on time, which is an improvement, but they are still trying to get things back to normal. Despite this, Virgin Trains suffered many delays and cancellations, along with a few other train operators.

 

Roads are still suffering congestion and closures due to accidents. People are traveling, but it seems a few of them aren’t being smart about it and causing disruptions for everyone else on the road. If driving is essential, be sure to leave with plenty of extra time to get to the destination and remain on alert.

 

Travel disruptions across the rest of Europe looked to be easing yesterday as well. It seems that air and rail travel is beginning to return to normal, though it may take a couple days due to all the previous delays and cancellations.

Russia and Qatar Host World Cups

Monday, December 6, 2010

(nathan82.wordpress.com)- Congratulations to the people of Russia & Qatar (and the rest of the Middle East).  I am really pleased for you and hope you enjoy the World Cups and that your nations benefit in a positive way.
Of course, being an Englishman, I was gutted that England did not win the vote.  And my favourite for 2022 would have been Australia.  But never mind there is no point having sour grapes and I am not writing this post out of bitterness.  However, I am disappointed with the outcome of the FIFA voting and especially that Qatar won.
Reasons Qatar should not host the World Cup
  • They have no football heritage
  • They have never qualified for a World Cup and only once got past the first round of the Asian Cup
  • There are huge amounts of commercial opportunities for FIFA through choosing Qatar – this is not a viable reason for choosing a nation to host a tournament
  • Travelling and staying in Qatar will be a nightmare for the average fan
  • Qatar are super-rich and can simply build the best stadiums and complexes and would have been able to put on extraordinary hospitality for FIFA delegates – it goes against everything that was great about the World Cup in South Africa
Reasons why Qatar should host the World Cup
  • It will be great for the people of the Middle East to have a home tournament.
  • The stadiums look incredible!
Reasons Russia should not host the World Cup
  • Few people would dispute that Russia is a nation full of corruption – given the recent accusations towards FIFA one wonders if there are some dodgy dealings going on
  • They have not qualified for the last two World Cups – I hate nations getting free places at tournaments when they would have been unlikely to qualify otherwise (eg Ukraine & Poland at the next European Championships)

Reasons Russia should host the World Cup
  • They have a great footballing heritage – from 1958-1972 USSR made it to eight major quarter-finals and won the European Championships in 1960 (something England never did!)
  • They have never hosted a major tournament before
  • Many cities will benefit from hosting matches
So, when our country Indonesia will be host World Cups?

Islam, Democracy, Modernization Can Develop Together in Indonesia

Friday, December 3, 2010

ANTARA News, 12/04/10: President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said Islam, democracy, and modernization can develop side by side to form a modern and democratic nation without abandoning religious values.


“We in Indonesia have seen that Islam, democracy and modernization can grow together. There is no conflict between religious, spiritual and political obligations as citizens in pluralism and the capability to participate in the modern world,” the President said in his opening speech at the Sixth Assembly of the World Movement for Democracy here Monday.
Islam-based political parties in Indonesia are among the strong supporters of democracy, he said.
“This moderate view of openness and tolerance in Indonesia and other communities in the world, is a seed of harmonious life among civilizations in the 21st century,” he said. Mippin feed validation KEY=12ec49d9

At present, democracy in Indonesia continues to grow and the country enjoys the third best economic growth among G-20 member states, after China and India, according to the head of state.
It showed that democracy and economic growth can happen at the same time, he said.
The three-day meeting is being participated in by 625 people, including democracy activists, practitioners, and academics from 110 countries.

The agenda will focus on ways to expand democracy movements within all cultures, as well as on ways to develop mutually supporting cross-cultural relationships to advance democracy in all global regions, to advance the World Movement`s ongoing Defending Civil Society and Assessing Democracy Assistance projects, and to address the challenges to democracy in such areas as anti-corruption, freedom of expression, youth engagement, independent media, human rights, local governance, elections, political party development, women`s political participation, and ethnic and religious inclusion.

WMD is a global network of democrats, including activists, practitioners, academics, policy makers, and funders, who have come together to cooperate in the promotion of democracy.
The Washington, DC-based National Endowment for Democracy (NED) initiated the nongovernmental effort with the holding of a global Assembly in New Delhi, India, in February 1999 to strengthen democracy where it was weak, to reform and envigorate democracy even where it is longstanding, and to bolster pro-democracy groups in countries that have not yet entered into a process of democratic transition.
