MIAMI: Serena Williams got her quest for a record sixth Miami Masters title off to a brisk start on Thursday with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Italian Flavia Pennetta.
The world No. 1 and top seed, playing her first tournament since falling to Victoria Azarenka in the final at Doha in February, said she didn't feel too rusty, although her footwork could improve.
"I think I missed a few shots, but only because I think I was off footwork-wise," she said. "But it's always just good just to win a match and stay in the tournament and keep going."
Despite the lopsided scoreline, Williams said Pennetta's ability to extend the rallies made the match difficult, although the American fended off all seven break points she faced.
She had 18 break chances against Pennetta, and converted five, saying she felt a little frustrated that she wasn't doing more.
"I felt like I should be putting the balls away for my opponent quick, but she was so quick and she was running every ball down," Williams said.
Her elder sister Venus Williams also advanced, holding on for a 7-6 (7-3), 3-6, 6-4 victory over Japanese veteran Kimiko Date-Krum.
Fourth-seeded defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska, fifth-seeded Li Na of China and seventh-seeded Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic all joined Williams in the third-round.
Radwanska parlayed an early break in each set into to a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Taiwan's Hsieh Su-Wei.
"I was happy to have a quick match," she said. "The first match is always a little bit tough and tricky, especially after Indian Wells, where we had a little bit of different conditions."
Li Na, playing her first tournament since suffering an ankle injury in her loss to Azarenka in the Australian Open final, downed Kiki Bertens of Holland 6-3, 6-1.
Former Wimbledon champion Kvitova defeated China's Peng Shuai 5-7, 6-2, 6-2.
Serena next faces Japan's Ayumi Morita, a 7-6 (7-2), 2-6, 6-3 winner over Belgian Yanina Wickmayer.
World No. 1 Novak Djokovic will lead men's seeds into second-round action in this combined WTA and ATP Masters tournament on Friday, against Czech Lukas Rosol. Third-seeded David Ferrer of Spain will take on Dmitry Tursunov of Russia.
In men's first-round matches on Thursday, 20-year-old Australian Bernard Tomic beat French qualifier Marc Gicquel 7-5, 7-6 (7-3) to set up a second-round meeting with second-seeded Scot Andy Murray. — AFP

Top designer STUART WEITZMAN has decided to give his famous Million Dollar Shoe the boot at the Oscars for the second year running - thanks to the continued global economic downturn.
Each year, Weitzman personally sizes and crafts a special jewelled shoe for one lucky up-and-coming lady to wear to the Academy Awards.
But the tradition was halted for 2009 due to the recession and Weitzman has chosen to keep the diamonds on ice for the 2010 ceremony too.
He tells the New York Post's gossip column PageSix, "There will be no Million Dollar Shoe for the Oscars this year. With so many people struggling financially, and unemployment at 10 per cent, I don't think it is appropriate. The actresses still want to go for glamour, but this year it will be more understated."
The lucky ladies who have worn Weitzman's Million Dollar Shoe to past Oscars have included Ray star Regina King, Dreamgirls actress Anika Noni Rose and Mulholland Drive's Laura Harring.
Among those who have worn his shoes to other red carpet events are Angelina Jolie, Katie Holmes, and Kate Winslet.

A silver drachm stuck under Ariarathes I, circa 333-322 BC at the Gaziura mint. The obverse shows Baal of Gaziura seated holding a grape bunch, a grain ear, and an eagle in his right hand, a lotus-tipped scepter in his left; inscribed with B'L GZYR (in Aramaic) to the right. The reverse of the drachm shows a griffin attacking a stag. The god Baal is believed to be of Phoenician origin. He was a responsible for the welfare of the earth and the regularity of rainfall; god of storms and of the sky.
Ariarathes I was the Satrap of Cappadocia (map) under the Achaemenid Empire from 350 to 331 BC, and the King of Cappadocia from 331 BC until his death in 322 BC. He was the son of the Cappadocian satrap Ariamnes I. Ariarathes was distinguished for his love of his brother Holophernes, whom he sent to assist his overlord king Artaxerxes III in the recovery of Egypt, in 350 BC. Then he devotedly supported the Achaemenid King Darius III.
Alexander the Great conquered Cappadocia during his reign and installed a governor there (though two different names of this governor are given). Nevertheless, by the time of Alexander's death Ariarathes somehow assumed power as the first king of the Cappadocians and even expanded the kingdom by subduing Cataonia.
After the death of Alexander in 323 BC, Perdiccas appointed Eumenes governor of Cappadocia; but upon Ariarathes refusing to submit to Eumenes, Perdiccas declared war upon him. Ariarathes was defeated, taken prisoner, and crucified, together with many of his relations in 322 BC. Eumenes then obtained possession of Cappadocia. Ariarathes was 82 years of age at the time of his death: he had adopted as his son Ariarathes II, the eldest son of his brother Holophernes.
Equality Golbat: "Being transgender usually involves some kind of dysphoria which can help shape the trans identity. Some trans people have no dysphoria at all. One person experience does not invalidate another."
You being trans+dysphoric has no effect on whether I'm trans. My non-dysphoric trans experience in no way diminishes your trans-ness. That's because we are two different people, not two halves of the same person. What's so hard to understand about this?

Now that Emma has gone dark, are we going to see a role reversal between her and Regina?
Lana Parrilla: Yeah, I think that the hero has been evolving within Regina in the last year. The cool thing about her is that she is both good and bad now — like everyone in the world, we all possess evil thoughts or whatever — and I love that she is embracing both sides. We will see a role reversal of some sort, and I think that everyone is going to look to Regina for guidance and help. If anyone has the experience of crossing into the darkness and then coming out, it's Regina. She has been the one that has come the furthest as far as spiritual evolution and growth pattern. She started off good, became evil, and went back to being good. I think she is going to have a huge impact in bringing Emma back into the light.

Directions turquoise and directions violet
why is this so hard to understand
"homoflexibility" literally comes out of cis straight males and their disgusting sexual fantasies of "turning" a lesbian/having a threesome with two lesbians.
and heteroflexibility is just the "bisexual until graduation" trope in disguise i s2g and also caters a lot to males who love seeing girls get it on but not necessarily seeing them in a healthy happy relationship together without sex
these two terms are bi-erasure and have really nasty origins
i mean these terms are literally used in media for one-night/kiss stands and are considered "reversible" which furthers the rly gross rhetoric that bisexuals (esp. young bisexuals) are just doing this for attention and specifically the attention of men

Paul Andersen explains how the second law of thermodynamics applies to reversible and irreversible processes. In a reversible process the net change in entropy is zero. In and irreversible process the entropy will always increase in a closed system. The entropy measures the disorder in the entire system and will move in the direction of time's arrow. Several example videos of increasing entropy are included.

After the two had bonded on that night, Mabel would occasionally sneak into the Pizzeria and go say hi to the puppet - she considered him a friend, after all. She was there now, making her way to the prize corner, sporting a grin.
The puppet was relaxing on the prize box when he seen his friend coming down the hall. He sat up and looked at her, surprised to see her at the pizzeria. "Hi Mable! What brings you here? The pizzeria is closing soon so I don't think you should stay long."

samanthad8809 asked:
I was wondering if there's any meaning in how you flip your tarot cards, like grab the bottom and flip up, or simply flip over to the side. I was also wondering if you have all of your tarot cards the same way, or if you have some of them reversed, and what your feelings are on reading a reversed meaning in the cards. Thanks!
I usually flip my cards by grabbing the bottom and flipping up. I don't know why, it just feels natural to do so.
I sometimes do and sometimes don't read reversals. Certain decks seem better suited to it. With Revelations or Fenestra for instance, I always read reversals. With the Universal Fantasy or Prisma Visions I never do. Some decks I will sometimes read reversals with. Sometimes it depends on the spread I'm using.
Reversals are a great way to learn the dualities each card can hold, but if you have a good grasp on all of the aspects of each card and can interpret spreads well enough to use surrounding context as your guide, you may find that you don't need to use reversals as often.
There's really no right or wrong way to go about it. It's a personal preference and you can always change your mind about how you feel about them as you go along.

TravelPod Member ReviewsBEST WESTERN PLUS Moncton
On a long motorcycle tour to Nova Scotia, I got sick and had to cut my travel short. I pulled into the Best Western Plus in Moncton well before check-in time without a reservation, hoping they would have a room so I could attempt to recouperate The desk clerk was very nice and started checking me in right away. Seeing I was a Platinum member, she immediately upgraded me to a two-room suite for free and honored by request for someplace quiet by giving me the corner room farthest from the elevator on the highest floor. The room was excellent, spotless and spacious and practially brand new. Much better than I expected. It made a big difference having that much room and a comfortable couch to sit on instead of just a desk chair. All in all, a very pleasant experience. I would stay here again for sure.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
Inside Story | 28 Sep 2013 10:58 GMT | Environment, US & Canada, Canada, China, India
Leading climate experts have raised the likelihood that humans are responsible for global warming. The latest report from the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says it is now 95 percent certain that human behaviour is responsible.
The report is really very, very clear: it is man that has dominantly caused the changes that we are seeing already and it will only get worse if we don't change the trends. And now, you don't really have any politician who can hide behind any excuse saying: I didn't really know better...
Martina Krüger, Greenpeace Nordic
It is the strongest message yet from the world's top scientists on what may be behind the rise in average global temperatures.
One of the most controversial subjects in the report was how to deal with a slowdown in warming in the past 15 years.
But climate skeptics say that casts doubt on the scientific consensus on climate change.
Meanwhile, behind the headlines of extreme weather and worries about climate change, some communities are benefiting from the new summer thaw.
Fishermen in northern Canada say they are enjoying bigger catches than ever before because of climate change and ice-free summer months in the Arctic are helping build a commercial fishing industry there for the first time.
Elsewhere, in Canada's Western Arctic and off Alaska, there are moratoriums on new commercial fishing until scientists can do more research on one of the least understood eco systems on the planet – the Polar Seas.
Boris Worm, an Oceanographer at Dalhousie University says: "I think that's a precautionary approach that's actually enshrined in international law. When you understand a place, at least you study it before you start exploiting it. And that's what we should do."
But Canada has been cutting funding for Arctic research and many of those who live in this harsh environment have to seize whatever opportunities arise from climate change, even as they confront its many challenges.
So, what should be done to reverse global warming? What is the answer to climate change? Who will feel the impact of climate change the most? And will the report be taken seriously by those who pollute the most?
Inside Story, with presenter Lauren Taylor, discusses with guests: Martina Kruger, the head of climate and energy for Greenpeace Nordic; Nicolette Bartlett, the senior programme manager at the University of Cambridge's Programme for Sustainability Leadership and the Prince of Wales's Corporate Leaders Group; Bjorn Lomborg, the director of the Copenhagen Consensus Center and author of The Skeptical Environmentalist: Measuring the Real State of the World; and Josefino Comiso from the earth sciences division at NASA and co-author of the IPCC report.
"It is very clear that man is causing part of global warming, I think prertty much everyone has already known that, the much bigger issue is how do we tackle it? And unfortunately for the last 20 years we've been trying to do so essentially by buying very expensive carbon cuts. And of course, not surprisingly that means that rich countries have done a little to feel good but really not all that much and we certainly haven't got either China or India or any of the big emitters on board .... This is about getting innovation going and get much cheaper green energy before we try to say let's cut a lot."
Bjorn Lomborg, Copenhagen Consensus Center

Almost two dozen elementary-school students in a Mississippi district are at risk of repeating third grade after failing to pass state reading exams following an intensive, four-week summer school program. They failed the test three times. "Nothing is impossible, but being realistic about it, it's almost at the point where there's no help for them in just four weeks," said Daisey Hawkins, a teacher in Sunflower County.
Some higher-education officials are voicing concern over a requirement in the Campus Accountability and Safety Act, currently being considered by Congress, that schools provide confidential advisers to sexual assault victims. Mollie Benz Flounlacker with the Association of American Universities this week told a Senate hearing that advisers could be open to subpoenas, which could compromise confidentiality.
Officials in Boston are considering changes to school menus less than a year after previous changes drew complaints from parents and others. Officials say the menu changes are not final, with an advisory board recommending healthier dishes, more fresh fruit and an expanded in-class breakfast program.
School leaders in Ohio will participate in a blended-learning training program. Officials said about 70 principals and administrators from 16 schools are expected to participate in the program, a partnership of the Ohio Blended Learning Network and the Friday Institute at North Carolina State University.
Some school districts and at least one state are seeking to foster innovation by designating networks of schools that have more autonomy and resources to experiment with classroom technology. However, the programs face many challenges, including hardware issues and students not using the technology at home.
Students from a Michigan school district this week came up with ideas to present to companies to help solve common business problems. One company asked a team of six students to envision how learning spaces and materials could be used to support 21st-century learning.
Global fire seasons are lasting longer than they did 35 years ago, and burnable areas also have increased, states a new study published in Nature Communications. Another recent study found that fire potential has risen in nearly every region of the country. "Our study paints a fairly grim picture. Climate change will up the odds of conditions that have historically accompanied these large fires," said John Abatzoglou, an associate professor of geography and co-author of the second study.
The Central American drug trade is a threat to the region's jaguars, especially those in Guatemala and Honduras, where habitat loss has been significant. The jaguar population in Honduras stands at two per 39 square miles, for example, far below Belize's total of 11 per 39 square miles. Drug traffickers may clear the land to build roads and airstrips, notes Kendra McSweeney, an associate professor of geography and lead author of the study "Drug Policy as Conservation Policy: Narco-Deforestation."
Teachers can take the lead in advocating for their profession -- and perhaps enact education policy change along the way -- teachers Deidra Gammill and Nancy Gardner write. In this blog post, they share five ways teacherpreneurs can collaborate with education policymakers.
High-schoolers at Johns Hopkins University's monthlong, intensive summer camp -- Engineering Innovation -- explored complex engineering ideas with simple tools, such as building bridges with pasta. The camp was designed to give teenagers hands-on engineering experience and the chance to earn college credit.

Guitar World presents the top 50 stomp boxes, devices and processors of all time.
Classic country magic from this talented young artist.
Here are 10 classic tracks that demonstrate the many voices of guitar synths.
Dave Mason's name is synonymous with Traffic, a legendary British band that was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. These days, the guitarist can be found doing shows from coast to coast with his "Traffic Jam" project. But Mason also is known for his solo work and his countless collaborations with a veritable who's who of rock, including members of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac and Jimi Hendrix.
Mason's new album, Future's Past, pays homage to those early years by featuring new versions of songs from his Traffic days and solo career, including new interpretations of "As Sad and Deep As You" and "World In Changes." Rounding out the nine-track album is a new song, "That's Freedom."
This installment of my GuitarWorld.com blog was meant to be posted in the beginning of September as the second half of a two-part blog titled "On Tour With My Guitar Heroes; Rick Derringer, Mark Farner and Dave Mason." The first part covered Rick Derringer and Mark Farner. This second part will be dealing with Dave Mason. If you haven't already done so, you can read the first part right here.
This summer, not only am I working with '60s artists such as The Turtles, The Association, The Buckinghams, The Grassroots and Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere & The Raiders on the Happy Together 2011 tour -- but I'm also touring with the Hippiefest 2011 Summer Tour, which features Felix Cavaliere of The Rascals, Gary Wright and guitar heroes Rick Derringer, Mark Farner and Dave Mason.

Nice results - now if the anime industry were to perk up and take notice about these figures borne out then maybe the anime world would change for the better...
I especially liked three sets of figures:
(1) shows that people are not buying anime because they think the storyline or plot sucks - can't please everyone all the time just because its anime - gotta appeal to them with the story too
(2) shows that a good majority of people purchase the commercial products after watching fansubs ("unlicensed translations")
(3) shows that the majority of people feel they must watch it first before deciding to buy it
Great survey!

|its interesting this shows that only a small percent has recently become anime fans but hundreds have been for at least 3 years now. does that mean that newer anime isnt attracting as much as it should or only older people take surveys? well i kinda like fansubs more than official subs because they seem more lively somehow.

Reading through (ok, skimmed the ones with 10+ answers,) I like the results (kinda wonder if folks thought F14 related to the format war instead of just HD/SD) and hope industry really takes them to heart ... somebody make sure The Power That Be at Bandai Visual USA not only get a copy of this thing but READ IT. There is no good excuse for turning down free market research responded to by (at minimum) 2% of your entire customer base.
The results to B43 are kinda disheartening though.
(Bonus points if you can spot the only two related questions where the results matched up perfectly as they should.)
PS - Congrats to sentai for being the only listed category to score lower than yaoi on A15. Seems to me the Disney execs (as the current broadcasters) should take note: folks would rather watch two guys going at it then sit through yet another Power Rangers marathon.

I can't tell you the number of times I've read blatantly incorrect translations involving fundamental grammar in official subs; on the other hand, when fansubs make mistakes, they tend to be either (1) issues of contentious debate amongst Eng-Jpns bilinguals or (2) innocent typos.
Am I generalizing? A bit -- it would be erroneous to say fansubs never make outright wrong translations or that all official subs are awful. But if you asked me, I would say that while I used to think official subs were the best back before I studied Japanese, that mentality all changed within a year of learning the basics and is long, long gone now. I think most anime fans are blissfully ignorant when it comes to official subs and they just assume that the dollars they're dropping on anime DVDs must at some point be going towards translators who do a better job with the title than some fat, basement-dwelling nerd on IRC. It's not necessarily a bad assumption (i.e. I can't fault the fans' logic); but it is an assumption, and it has proven to be a wrong one too many times.
If you're still not convinced, I have one last thing to ask you: Firefox 1.0 versus Internet Explorer 5.0, you tell me which was better? Just remember: cheap in price is not always cheap in quality, and vice versa.

It is called the "Sad Truth". Why the fansubs are so popular is two reasons:
(1) The show are unedited from the original Japanese TV or DVD versions, whichever base they are using to do the fansubs from - unlike the US releases, which are usually edited at various places (case to point is Green Legend Ran which Pioneer butchered and re-combined pieces to form a single long running compilation, rather than the individual eps - I was most abusive to them for that)
(2) The fansubs take the time to explain Japanese cultural references, and keep them intact, rather than blatantly changing them to match where the DVD is being released, like Azumanga Daioh and Pani Poni Dash. Faithfulness to the artists (both screenplay writers and visual artists) counts big time.

And 63 people said that they speak Japanese well enough to survive in Japan. *shrug*
Only a small part of that result should be assumed to be related to actual translation, since only a small number of respondents know anything that would allow them to make such a judgement. Even in the case of those who speak Japanese moderately well, translation is at least as much art as science, and literal translations tend to get favored by those who could suss it out for themselves even if they don't provide the best timing or flow (or sense) in English.
Appearance counts, and the DVD format allows for almost zero leeway in how subtitles can be presented on-screen. Fansub subtitles usually look better than those on DVDs unless they go with ridiculous font choices.
There's also the on-screen translation notes noted by kokuryu. A lot of people like them, but unless you don't mind the clutter and need to rewind/pause to read them, the role is probably better served (if unfortunately rarely) by liner notes for DVDs. ADV's occasional use of their ADVidnotes extra feature (most notably on Nabeshin shows) is a nice alternative too.
It's probably rude to mention (so apologies to any offended), but "fansub subtitle quality" is also frequently used as an excuse for not buying DVDs by people who only watch fansubs

LILONGWE, Malawi (AP) — An elephant calf that was separated from his herd and raised by a human "mother" for months in Malawi has died.
Jenny Webb, who raised the calf, said it died Monday night "in her arms." She said the elephant had been sick with colic and diarrhea.
In February, Webb adopted the elephant, which had been named Moses after being found in the grasses of a riverbed by game rangers at Vwazi Wildlife Reserve in northern Malawi. She said rangers tried to find his family herd for two days without success and that his mother was likely killed by poachers.
Malawi's national parks did not have the funds to raise the little elephant, so Webb, the founder of the Jumbo Foundation, an orphanage for large animals, cared for him.

This heart will swallow us Lyrics
Artist: Joseph Arthur
Album: Junkyard Hearts I & II
Until i wake myself
I'm only sleeping
Like the darkness waiting for the touch love bears
Dream beyond the sunrise
Live within a prayer
This heart will swallow us
This heart will swallow us
Will you give yourself up to the savior
Or will you drink from the cup of your madness?
To feel the devils pleasure
Burning your way into this place
This heart will swallow us
This heart will swallow us
No one else
Can save you

Human Skull Parts Found In Luggage at Fort Lauderdale Airport
TSA baggage screeners have been known to spot and confiscate varying things from travelers' suitcases. Shaving cream, perfume bottles, water bottles, nail clippers, you know, things like that.
Well now you can add pieces of human skull to that list
According to the Broward Sheriff's Office, TSA agents at Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International found the remains of a human skull inside the suitcase of a woman traveling to Baltimore on Wednesday.
Apparently the screeners noticed the skull fragments, and human teeth, mixed in with dirt and rocks inside pieces of wrapped ceramic pottery. The luggage belonged to two women looking to catch an Airtran flight.
Homicide detectives were called in to interview the women, who had just returned from Cuba.
According to police, the women claim to have bought the ceramic pottery in Cuba while visiting there several days ago. The women had purchased the pots for their homes for spiritual reasons, mainly to ward off evil spirits.
Apparently, they were unaware that this particular set of the pottery warded off evil spirits with a dead person's skull and teeth.
After conducting the interviews, BSO concluded that the women had no idea the skull pieces were in their pottery, or even suspect any foul play.
The women were allowed to leave for Baltimore on a later flight, sans skull fragments.
The pots, along with the skull pieces, have been handed over to the Broward Medical Examiner's Office for examination.
The Department of Homeland Security is also reportedly reviewing the case.
As a lesson, next time you find yourself buying pottery, make sure that it isn't filled with pieces of a skeleton. Just a tip!

Anyone have mlb.tv?
I am subject to the backouts for twins games but want to check out out of market games. Was wondering about quality and features - is it as good as MLB makes it sound?
I've been watching the Twins on MLB.TV now for 7 years.
The quality is pretty good, depending on your ISP of course.
I've been getting the premium version recently. Initially it was the only way to get the "HD" quality, but now it's main feature is having the ability to select the home or away feed. Plus this year the At Bat app is included free, which I use to listen to games when I can't watch or even throw it on my iPod Touch.
Worth the money.
Posted 22 February 2012 - 04:47 PM
I have it since, I don't live anywhere near MN, and I love it. Its nice because you can swap out the audio with the radio broadcast so you don't have to listen to Dick and Bert all the time.
Posted 22 February 2012 - 05:34 PM
Whatever everyone else said Been using it for years and very happy. A couple of other features of note: All games are "taped" so you can watch a day game in the evening (including the blacked out games). And you can do PIP and watch up to 4 games at the same time with the sound only on one. Also, you automatically get gameday with audio as well...

probably gonna get this this year when they do the package sale with MILB TV
Follow my photography, group page can be found here.
Posted 22 February 2012 - 05:58 PM
I subscribed to MLB TV for the first time last year and I'll being paying for it again this season. I was very impressed with the quality of the feed (HD or at least very close to HD) and the ability to listen to the games on my phone while at work (via the At Bat app - now included with the premium version) makes this well worth the price.
Posted 22 February 2012 - 07:08 PM
I live in Portland, OR, after moving from Minneapolis in 1999. I've subscribed since MLBTV first came out and it's gotten better every year. I use an AppleTV2 that's wired to my router and it works great. MLB had a little trouble last spring (I think load far exceeded their expectations) but by Opening Day all was well for me.
Posted 22 February 2012 - 08:32 PM
Now that I live in Texas, it's absolutely worth the $140 for the full season package of majors and minors! If I still lived in Minnesota I doubt I'd be quite as excited about it. I subscribed the day it became available last week and have been watching the handful of memorable 2011 Twins games there were.
Posted 22 February 2012 - 10:00 PM
As a native Minnesotan living in Los Angeles, MLB.TV is the only way to go. I absolutely love it. You should most definitely throw down the extra scratch for the the Premium subscription. It's better quality and you can choose home or away TV broadcasts. The only problem with the blackout rules is that here in LA, I rarely ever get to watch the Twins when they're on the Fox Saturday Game of the Week. Those games, along with Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN, are blacked out, so I'm forced to watch either the Dodgers or Angels (one of them is always on Fox on Saturdays) whenever the Twins play on Fox. But living in Minnesota, you won't have that problem.

Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' steadily built up the latter half of its first season with the 2014 arrival of Deathlok, Lady Sif and more, but it seams the March 4 premiere, "T.A.H.I.T.I.," may bring more marvels than we bargained for. Not only does the latest trailer's "Uprising" bring Bill Paxton in as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent John Garrett and our first footage of Lady Sif, but a subtle clue may bring a Captain America cameo, as well!

'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Sneak Peek: See Jaimie Alexander Back in Action as 'Thor's Lady Sif!Kevin Fitzpatrick February 26, 2014 @ 9:55 AM
Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' will first make a stop in "T.A.H.I.T.I." next week in their efforts to save the fallen Skye, but the following week's "Yes Men" with 'Thor' star Jaimie Alexander's Lady Sif will prove the most marvelous of all! The full set of ass-kicking photos for Sif's Earth adventure has arrived, including our first look at Asgardian Marvel villain Lorelei!
'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Sneak Peek: Jaimie Alexander's Lady Sif Suits Up for "Yes Men"!Kevin Fitzpatrick February 10, 2014 @ 12:20 PM
Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' brought back a bit of credibility in recent weeks, as we learned from "T.R.A.C.K.S." that seasonal guest character Mike Peterson (J. August Richards) was in fact being groomed for an incarnation of comic character Deathlok. But March 11 installment "Yes Men" will prove the most Marvel-ous one yet. 'Thor' star Jaimie Alexander will suit up as Lady Sif for the coming episode, the first photo from which appeared online!

Just when Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' finally had us excited for its potential once more, now that Lady Sif (Jaimie Alexander) will soon come to town, the ABC series dropped two more major bombshells on us. Not only will Marvel character Deathlok come into play courtesy of someone we've already met, but 'Thor' villain Lorelei will battle with Lady Sif in an upcoming episode!
'Thor's Jaimie Alexander Joins HBO Ryan Murphy Sexuality Drama 'Open'Kevin Fitzpatrick January 22, 2014 @ 3:00 PM
We were delighted to learn that 'Thor' franchise standout Jaimie Alexander would next land on TV for an 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' appearance, thought it seems Alexander may stay on the small screen even longer. The erstwhile Lady Sif has joined 'American Horror Story' creator Ryan Murphy's buzzworthy sexuality drama 'Open' in a regular role, though HBO has yet to declare the show's future.

Marvel's critically debated 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' earned itself a bit of movie credit in only the second episode, sneaking in a cameo for Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury, but at long last our first true movie superhero has arrived. Lady Sif herself (and a personal favorite), Jaimie Alexander, will drop by the 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' in an upcoming episode!

As the holidays approach, it's easy to get caught up in Black Friday deals, turkeys and Christmas lights. But, with Thanksgiving approaching, 'Thor: The Dark World' star Jaimie Alexander surprised some kids at the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles who won't get to spend the holidays at home. Better yet? She showed up in character as Lady Sif. Awesome.
Reel Women: The Ladies of 'Thor: The Dark World' Kick AssBritt Hayes November 8, 2013 @ 2:00 PM
The movie may be called 'Thor: The Dark World,' and fans are certainly buying tickets to see Thor and Loki get into some serious Asgardian action, but it's the women of the film who are really kicking ass. The clever Jane Foster, the warrior Sif, Thor's mom, and even comedic relief Darcy are dialed into the action much more this time around, giving them equal stature among their male counterparts and proving once again that when it comes to female heroes, Marvel does it right.

In 'Thor: The Dark World,' Chris Hemsworth stars as the titular hero, on a mission to save the Nine Realms -- and his lady, Jane Foster, of course -- from total destruction at the hands of an evil Dark Elf. The latest Marvel film thunders into theaters this weekend and features an amazing cast, including Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, and more.

Sherman Hemsley remembered by friends, family at funeral
EL PASO, Texas (AP) -- Friends and family are remembering actor Sherman Hemsley at his funeral service in West Texas by showing video clips of his best known role as George Jefferson on the TV sitcom "The Jeffersons."
About 150 people attended Hemsley's service Wednesday at Cielo Vista Church in El Paso. He died in July but a fight over his estate has delayed his burial.
Bing: Sherman Hemsley filmography
Hemsley's will named his longtime friend Flora Enchinton Bernal as his heir, but his half brother from Philadelphia, Richard Thornton, challenged the will. An El Paso judge earlier this month ruled the will valid.
Hemsley will be buried at Fort Bliss National Cemetery. Hemsley served in the Air Force before turning to acting.#inlineGalOuter{ margin-top:10px; text-align:center; } #inlineGal { background-image:url('http://entimg.s-msn.com/i/grandprix/inlineGalleryBg.jpg' ); background-repeat: no-repeat; height: 334px; width: 452px; padding: 14px 24px 0px 24px; } #inlineGalHed { font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 7px; text-align:left; } #inlineGalImageDiv { padding: 2px; border: 1px solid #b3c9e0; width: 442px; } #inlineGalViewAll { font-size: 13px; text-align: right; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 8px; } Photos: In Memoriam 2012 View all »

Last two days have really remained very shocking for the Indian stock market, as within these two days stock market saw approximate 1000 points decrease. Moreover this whole situation could be much worse if market did not responded back after more than 1700 decrease within the first hour of trade on 17 Oct. However, Bombay stock market was able to recover back after the intervention of Sebi and finance minister. Even after all these assurances, Bombay Stock market further saw a dip of 717 points, making more 1000 points dip in BSE index in just two today. Most of investors will watch the today's trade very carefully because some financial and stock market experts have even warned for further 1000 points dip in the stock market. The major reasons behind the crash in stock market are believed to be 1) Below than expect performance from the IT companies, which are struggling to maintain profits due to the decreasing price of US dollar against Indian rupee. 2) Increase in the crude oil prices in world market, which can adversely affect countries like India because India gets more than 70% of its oil requirement from outside world. Moreover, experts also believe that Stock market has over reacted in the previous days which resulted in Indian stock market crossing 19000 points, therefore now market needs corrections and probably will get stable around 17000 points. Advice of most of the experts to the people is to concentrate more on the individual portfolios and avoid investing in the stock of companies with bad profiles despite increase in price of their stocks.
