Another British paedophile BBC presenter charged with indecent assaults
Thu, 06 Dec 2012 15:36 UTC
The charges will be a further embarrassment for the BBC, which was thrown into turmoil when it was revealed in October that one of its former top stars, the late Jimmy Savile, had been one of Britain's most prolific child sex offenders.
Stuart Hall, 82, best known for hosting the popular TV programme "It's a Knockout" in the 1970s and 80s and who still appears on radio, was not charged with rape, police said.
"The offences are alleged to have been committed between 1974 and 1984 and to involve three girls aged between 9 and 16 years," police said in a statement.
Hall has been released on bail and will appear before magistrates on Jan. 7, police said.
"There is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction," John Dilworth of the Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement.
The presenter still regularly appears on BBC airwaves, delivering erudite and grandiose soccer reports for which he is well-known to sports fans.
His agent declined to go into detail about the arrest and referred queries to the BBC.
"In light of the very serious nature of these charges Stuart Hall will not be working at the BBC while the police continue with their inquiries," a spokesman for the broadcaster said in a statement.
After revelations about Savile emerged in October, police launched an investigation into the presenter and potential accomplices. They have so far quizzed five people including the former glam rock singer Gary Glitter and comedian Freddie Starr, who both deny any wrongdoing.
Hall's arrest is not part of that investigation, but revelations about Savile have prompted a flurry of allegations to police around the country.
The BBC's much-criticised response to the Savile disclosures and suggestions it had covered up allegations against the late BBC presenter led to the resignation of its director general George Entwistle last month.

Vintage Wrestling Team
Another addition to the collection arrived this morning. These rather handsome chaps look to be part of a wrestling team. I think it is from the 1960s, perhaps early 70s but the hairstyles are a little difficult to decode.

I'd say late 60s -- they look like everyone I went to high school with. Sigh.

I believe it is from 1973, 1974, or 1975. These are the hairstyles young males wore before the disco era. By 1976 and certainly 1977 young men were apt to wear their hair parted down the center of the head or in an afro permed style.

When he was mayor of Bogotá, Antanas Mockus hired 420 mime artists to control the Colombian capital's horrendous traffic. When the city faced water shortages, he appeared on television taking a shower and turning off the head while he soaped himself. To highlight the extent of violence against women, Mr Mockus launched "Night for Women", encouraging men to stay at home and mind the kids. Hundreds of thousands of Bogotá's female population turned out in a mass display of public safety. Oh, and the former mayor was also fond of dressing up in a costume he called "Supercitizen".

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
She was in terrible condition and suffered from Demodex, a skin condition that is treatable and costly. She has recovered fully and is ready for her new family.
She has been fostered around cats, other dogs and small children, she loves them all. She has a silly personality that goes along with her look; she has one ear that sticks straight up and one that is down.
She has been very spoiled and loved in her foster home and needs a home that will continue that! She is small, compact and very strong.
Adoption fee is $150 which includes:
Spay, UTD on vaccines, given flea treatment, heart worm test (neg) and micro chipped
Scruffy, a Sacramento American Bulldog/Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Bulldog/Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Sacramento, or seeking a American Bulldog/Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Sacramento.

Obama's performance compared to polls in '08 swing states (most underestimated his margins).
Though the polls pointed to an Obama victory in 2008, many of the polls underestimated Obama's margins ... some significantly. In fact, in all but two swing states, Iowa and New Hampshire, Obama out-performed the average of polls:
In some states, the margins were pretty large ... specifically in New Mexico and Nevada. Yes, some of those differences don't look huge. But think about this: The polls in Virginia are essentially tied. An additional 1.9 points solidifies it in Obama's corner. In Ohio, where his average is 2.1, an additional 1.5 gives him a 3.6 point victory. That's near the level he saw in '08.
Basically, what this suggests is that most swing states underestimated Obama's support ... or at least undercounted it in the polls. On its face, the margins weren't dramatic. But in a close race, it could dramatically shift the race in his favor.
If Obama out-polls the polls similar this go around, he will win Ohio, Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and potentially Florida.
That's why ground game and turnout is so important. But even four years ago, it seemed the media was underestimating Obama's GOTV effort, as he averaged nearly two-points better in swing states than the polls suggested.

3. Of course, the question in GOTV is how much have the respective GOTV
efforts gotten, on a state level.
So far, it seems that we're still much better in IA, OH, and NV.
On the other hand, the GOP has seemed to close the gap completely in CO.
Virginia and Wisconsin are harder to tell--not much early voting.
Part of the blowout in 2008 was not only Obama's great ground game, but McLame's lack of one.

Electrical Questions? Ask an Electrician Online.
Black wire - Line
Yellow - Common
White / Red - only have a "K" sticker on each with no other notation.
Can you direct me to the information about the "220v definate purpose relay" so I can review this? It appears that I may need to get an electrician involved but I would like the information on the light wiring also. Thanks.
The light is marked on the balast as 220V/2.1 amp. It is the same as the information on this link if that will help. That was also the information provided by the distributor.
My plan was three circuits with three lights each for a total of nine.
Control from two different doors (front & rear 80' apart). My original thought was to have three different sets of switches at each door for the three different sets of three lights each. Will your method still work? I can give up the rear set of switches if necessary but would prefer to have them if this is workable.

He's likely only serving as depth, highlighting the Cubs' absurd depth.
The Situation: Jorge Soler's injury has added to the Cubs issues in OF. Kyle Schwarber succumbed to a season ending injury, and Matt Szczur has also been on the DL this season. As a result it is time for Jed and Co.'s first draft pick with the Cubs to make his major-league debut.
November 1, 2015 10:59 pm
How Ben Zobrist and Michael Conforto stole the show in a game that swung the Royals' way late.
In the waning days of May 1981, Ben Zobrist entered the world in Eureka, Illinois, about 130 miles southwest of Chicago. Twelve years later and 2,000 miles further west, in Woodinville, Washington, Michael Conforto joined Zobrist here on Earth for a few shared revolutions of the sun.
October 8, 2015 6:00 am
Do the Dodgers have a Swiss-army knife who can mimic Ben Zobrist's heyday with the Rays?
It seems like an eternity ago, but in reality it was only last October when Andrew Friedman left the Rays to become President of Baseball Operations for the Dodgers. Shortly thereafter, Joe Maddon followed him out of town by exercising the out clause given to him by Friedman and company. Almost immediately, the race figured to be on in implementing various portions of their model of success used with the Rays at their new places of business.
One non-pitching aspect of "The Rays Way" seemingly placed significant value on positional versatility defensively. Since Friedman and Maddon joined forces in 2006, the Rays have deployed a plethora of super-utilitymen throughout their tenure: Ty Wigginton received at least five starts at five different positions in the duo's inaugural campaign together, and Willy Aybar received starts at four different positions over his 95 games of action during the team's World Series run in 2008 and started at least 18 games at three positions over the following season. Over the final four years of Maddon and Friedman's tenure in Tampa, their love of flexibility extended even further, giving Sean Rodriguez starts at seven different positions (in addition to four at designated hitter) in his first year with the Rays in 2010 and doing much of the same with Rodriguez until he signed with the Pirates last winter. Jeff Keppinger received at least 27 starts at three infield positions in 2012 and Kelly Johnson was dispatched at four different positions across the diamond in 2013, earning the starting nod in excess of 16 times at three spots. In Maddon's final season at the helm last year, he started virtually everybody at multiple positions over the course of the year, giving three players (Logan Forsythe, Sean Rodriguez, and the ultimate Swiss-army knife, Ben Zobrist) multiple starts at four different positions in addition to Friedman's trade deadline acquisition of Nick Franklin, who appeared at four spots in Seattle before coming to Tampa Bay as part of their haul for David Price.

Toronto's nightmare season continues with a blown lead against Los Angeles.
The Tuesday Takeaway
The Blue Jays jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning, on an RBI double by Jose Reyes and a run-scoring single by Jose Bautista. The Dodgers charged back in the top of the third, on an RBI double by Andre Ethier and a run-scoring single by Mark Ellis. But the Blue Jays countered those equalizers with two more runs, on a homer by Mark DeRosa and a sacrifice fly by Brett Lawrie, in the ensuing half-inning.

The Nationals sacrifice their hitting coach against their manager's wishes.
The Monday Takeaway
On Monday morning, the Nationals fired hitting coach Rick Eckstein, scapegoating him for the team's season-long struggle to drive in runs, and named Rick Schu as his replacement. Davey Johnson was not pleased with the decision, which came just a month after general manager Mike Rizzo insisted that Eckstein's job was safe.

How much hidden value does a multi-position player add?
Last week, I began discussing a question that has puzzled the sabermetric community for a while. How do we put a value on a player's ability to play multiple positions? Most teams have guys who are capable of pulling duty at several places on the field, but they are bench/utility players who serve as backups. What to make of the player who hits well enough to be a starter and fields well enough at multiple positions to be worth starting there?

In the wake of the Dodgers' recent record spending, we might ask why Luis Cruz is still around.
Over the past year the Dodgers have become baseball's most eager spender, absorbing and offering rich contracts. While the Yankees are tightening their belt buckle to get around the luxury tax, the Dodgers are making pithy comments, such as "What budget?" Yet one anachronism remains in LA during these lavish times. Luis Cruz, earner of the big-league minimum, sticks out like a sore thumb in a lineup featuring three players earning $20 million, two more earning $10 million, and two others making more than $2 million. Cruz is the lone non-millionaire, and, it just so happens, the team's weakest link.
Prior to last season Cruz's big-league experience entailed 169 plate appearances with a sub-.190 True Average. With his reputation as an all-glove, no-hit infielder intact he bounced around the minors. Cruz even spent part of his 2011 season playing in Mexico, alongside the likes of Jose Castillo, Geronimo Gil, and Luis Terrero. Last July, minutes before the Dodgers promoted him to the majors, he decided to embark on a career in Japan. Even circumstances surrounding the promotion were less Disney and more pragmatic: the Dodgers needed an extra body to survive a rough patch of injuries, and Cruz embodies the idea of an extra body. But the now-29-year-old provided spark and finished the season with a .272 TAv—a mark that placed him 18th among third basemen with at least 250 plate appearances.

Which baseball player measures up to the Linsanity sweeping the nation?
Football season is over. Spring training is still a few days away. That means, for multi-sport fans like me, there is little choice but to get immersed in college basketball and the NBA. And doing so during the past week meant going Linsane.
Point guard Jeremy Lin emerged as the New York Knicks' savior, reviving a team that was struggling to stay afloat in the absence of stars like Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire. A Harvard graduate who went undrafted and was rejected by two teams, Lin certainly did not take the beaten path to fame, but that only adds to the intrigue of his timely breakout. Hoops Analyst writer Ed Weiland is one of the few who can claim he saw this coming.

With All-Star selection around the corner, the BP staff fills out their ballots for who deserves to start in the Midsummer Classic.
It's July, and that means another All-Star Game, one which—we might as well get this out of the way now—won't be as exciting as those wonderful old All-Star Games when important things happened, like Ted Williams breaking his elbow and Dizzy Dean breaking a toe (Williams said he was never the same hitter; Dean destroyed his arm with altered mechanics) and Ray Fosse getting run over because damn it, Pete Rose just had to win an exhibition game.
(It is at times like these that I like to recall Mickey Mantle's immortal words on the subject of Rose: "If I had played my career hitting singles like Pete, I'd wear a dress.")

District 196 will look into its future
Independent School District 196 is taking a long-term look into its future in the interest of being better prepared for what is to come.
The district has hired former Minnesota State Demographer Hazel Reinhardt to conduct demographic and housing studies it hopes will provide a clearer picture of what the district might look like a decade or more into the future. The district already produces its own population and demographic projections each year to help predict student enrollment, but finance director Jeff Solomon said those projections are not much good beyond five years. Getting a longer-term perspective is valuable, he said, as the district considers the need for new or different programs. It doesn't make much sense to create a program now if there won't be a need for it down the line, or if enrollment at the school where it is being introduced will eventually crowd it out.
The district currently has a task force looking at the need for new early-childhood and elementary programs, and the demographic study could help inform those decisions.
"It was really important that we have exact figures as we look into the future," superintendent Jane Berenz said.
The district last conducted a comprehensive demographic study like this in 2004. Solomon said he recommends such a study every five or 10 years.
Reinhardt will use the district's information for her projections, but she will also use state and county data to reach her conclusions. Her results will provide information about future population numbers, but also the district's expected economic and racial makeup.
"We've got a good read on our free-and-reduced (lunch) population, our English as a second language population and our minority population, but being able to project those, that's where Hazel can help us," Solomon said.
Reinhardt's study will also take into account housing turnover, something the district's projections don't always do a good job tracking. That has led to a few surprises, as families without children have moved out and families with school-age children have taken their place.
"We have had some growth in areas we haven't expected in the last five years in our elementary," Solomon said. "It's because of that."
Reinhardt started her study in January. Solomon expects to have results in March.
The full package, which includes enrolment projections, a housing study and elementary projections by school boundary area will cost the district slightly more than $30,000.

Plant City senior Kristen Wyckoff signed her letter of intent Friday to play softball at USF.
Wyckoff said the only other school she was seriously considering was Florida. USF was enarmored of her blazing speed, which made the leadoff hitter the fourth best in the state with 42 steals last season.
"I definitely wanted to stay close to home. I hate the cold. I've been committed to USF really for two years," she said Friday.
The lefty slap hitter batted .592 as a junior as the Raiders went 17-6, including a 10-0 regular-season mark in District 7A-8. Plant City got upset by Riverview in the district tournament finals, then ran into eventual state runnerup Bartow in the first round, losing 4-0.
After playing four sports as a freshman, Wyckoff scaled back to volleyball, flag football and softball the last two years. She'll only play the latter two, whose seasons overlap this spring, as a senior.
A ceremony attended by friends and family was held at the PCHS Media Center Friday morning. It was held later than most signings this week because it was the only way Makensie McAavoy, one of Wyckoff's best friends, could attend. McAvoy is a freshman playing at Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers.

GAVIN Henson scored 13 points on his debut, but it was not quite enough to save London Welsh from a narrow defeat at the hands of Saracens today.
Despite being outplayed for most of the game, a courageous fightback from the Exiles set-up a dramatic finish.
However, they fell just short, but did pick up another bonus point for their efforts.
The visitors completely dominated at Kassam Stadium and deserved the win.
But they only had themselves to blame for failing to wrap the game up long before a flash of brilliance from Henson set up a nail-biting finale.
Henson's inclusion was one of six changes to the Exiles' team that ran Gloucester close last week.
It was Charlie Hodgson, returning to the side at fly half, who would kick Saracens to victory.
And it also fell to the former England man to end his side's try drought.
Always looking for the gap, Hodgson jinked through to run in from ten yards after 19 minutes and converted his own score.
Sustained Saracens pressure gave Hodgson the chance to add five penalties in the opening period.
But it was the Exiles who, against the run of play, had taken the lead through Canadian international Phil Mackenzie.
The winger capitalised on a loose pass after eight minutes and chased down his own kick to score.
Henson duly converted before showing that what he might lack in match fitness he could more than make up for in ambition.
Just ten minutes into his return to the Premiership, the former Wales international attempted, unsuccessfully, a penalty from two yards inside his own half.
The only other positive Welsh will have taken from the first half was the fact they were still within a score of the visitors.
In a much more even, and at times more open second half, Welsh held their own and when they were given a platform, the backs looked dangerous.
But Hodgson continued to keep Sarries' noses in front with the boot before Henson showed why Welsh have shown faith in him.
His vision and looping pass with six minutes to go set the impressive centre Scott free inside his own half before Mackenzie showed his speed once more leaving Tom Arscott to finish a move that took the Exiles to 25-23 behind.
Perhaps, more importantly, it also gave Welsh another losing bonus point, their second in successive defeats.
In the dying minutes Hodgson again eased the pressure with penalty.
Exiles mounted a spirited final attack and Saracens required some resolute defence to come away with the points.
Welsh now have a two-week break from the Premiership to play in the Amlin Challenge Cup, giving them time to reflect on a tough start to life in the top flight.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Wilkins, Jonathan Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-06082010-101827 Title The Relationship Between Social Skills and Challenging Behaviors in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department Psychology Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Matson, Johnny Committee Chair Copeland, Amy Committee Member Davis, III, Thompson Committee Member Rizzuto, Tracey Committee Member Norris, Janet Dean's Representative Keywords
- autism spectrum disorders
- challenging behaviors
- social skills
Date of Defense 2010-04-15 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are among the most serious and debilitating conditions with onset in early childhood. Deficits in social interaction skills are considered to be the hallmark set of symptoms and are given the most weight in current diagnostic systems. Although not considered among the core symptoms of ASD, challenging behaviors in the form of physical aggression, property destruction, and self-injury also commonly occur. Challenging behaviors of this nature are a salient feature of ASD because of their potential to cause harm to self and others as well as limit a child's access to opportunities in community and academic settings. However, at this point little is known about the relationship between these two variables. In the present study, the relationship between social skills and challenging behavior in children with ASD was explored through a series of correlational and regression analyses. In Study 1, it was demonstrated that this relationship was stronger for children with ASD than typically developing controls and that measures of social skills could significantly predict variance in measures of challenging behavior. This relationship was explored in further detail for the ASD group in Study 2, where it was determined that the social skills deficits/excesses exhibited by these children predicted variance in challenging behavior above and beyond that of ASD symptom severity, most notably with regard to repetitive, self-injurious, and overall levels of challenging behaviors. Implications of the results and directions for future research are discussed. Files

At this point, I am not ready to invest in studio space, so I am only doing locations, both indoors or out. I prefer working with ambient light but I will use a strobe when it is needed.

- "I picked up a lost item! ... I wonder if someone dropped this. Maybe I should look for the owner and return it?" —Animal Crossing: New Leaf
The Lost Item is an item which appears in the town in New Leaf. Lost items occur in multiple variations: a bag with a bear face, a mitten, a book or a blue bag with yellow string. If the owner is not found, it becomes a trash item but in turn it can be displayed inside the player's house.
Lost items are randomly generated in a town and appear on a random spot. Once picked up, the player will reveal it is lost and that it should be returned. The owner of the item is always one of the resident villagers, and the item cannot be dropped until the 2 days have passed. If it is not returned, the item name will change into something else like "mitten" for example.
To discover the owner all villagers must be spoken to until the owner is found. Once approached, the option to ask the villager if they have lost an item will appear as a conversation option. If the villager does not own it, they will tell the player to keep looking.
Once the player has found the owner, the villager will reward the player with an item for finding it, such as furniture or clothing, or occasionally, fruit, even possibly the neighbor's picture too.
If the item is brought to Copper/Booker they will inform the player that it was good that they brought the item in but they cannot leave their post. They will then ask the player to find the owner of the item.

Leyton Orient have agreed to sign Derby County goalkeeper Adam Legzdins on a two-year deal.
The O's were in the market for a new keeper after Jamie Jones' move to Preston North End last week and they have moved quickly to bring in a replacement.
Legzdins' contract with Derby was not being renewed this summer and he has agreed to join Russell Slade's side.
The 27-year-old shot stopper started off his career at Birmingham City before a series of loan spells at Halifax, Oldham and Macclesfield.
Legzdins spent two seasons with Crewe before joining Burton Albion in 2010. His form for the club earned him the player of the season and a move to Derby in 2011.
The keeper, who is eligible to play for Latvia through his grandparents, made 35 appearances for the Rams but did not play at all last season with Lee Grant the first choice keeper.

Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor was a two-time Academy Award-winning actress with a career that stretched back to the 1940s. She married eight times (twice to legendary actor Richard Burton) and became infamous for breaking up other people's marriages. Taylor showed off her unique beauty in films like BUtterfield 8 (1960) and Cleopatra (1963) -- one of the most expensive productions up to that time -- and her eight marriages, some serious diamond jewelry and contributions to the fight against AIDS kept her in the public eye till the end of her life.
AppealIf the young Elizabeth Taylor was an up and coming talent today, she'd probably be considered one of Hollywood's leading sex symbols. In her prime, Taylor possessed sultry, sexy features, a very voluptuous figure, and was very open about her passion for lovemaking.
Taylor was dating billionaire Howard Hughes, who was known for his liaisons with several hot, young Hollywood starlets, when she was just 17. Hughes could have had just about any woman he wanted back in the day, which is an indication of just how gorgeous young Liz was.
Her performance as the uber-sensual Maggie "The Cat" in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1958) is the epitome of Taylor's seductiveness.
SuccessElizabeth Taylor has been famous since 1944, when she landed the leading role in National Velvet at the age of 12.
She received three Academy Award nominations for Best Actress between 1957-1959, and although she didn't take home Oscar himself, the best was yet to come for the beautiful starlet.
During the 1960s, she won the coveted Oscar for Best Actress twice; for her role as a call girl in 1960's BUtterfield 8, and for her portrayal of the loudmouth, alcoholic Martha in 1966's Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?, which also earned her the British Academy Award for Best Actress, as well as a New York Film Critics Circle prize. She also made history as the first actress to earn a cool million for a single movie appearance, for 1963's Cleopatra.
Taylor became a leader in the fight against AIDS following the diagnosis of close friend and Giant (1956) co-star Rock Hudson in 1985. She was presented with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 1992 Oscar ceremony for her support of AIDS research. A year later, she received the American Film Institute Lifetime Achievement Award.
The London-born actress was made a Dame by none other than Queen Elizabeth II in 2000. Dame Elizabeth became a recipient of the John F. Kennedy Center Honors in 2002.
Elizabeth Taylor BiographyElizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in London, England on February 27, 1932. Although her mother had a brief career stint as a stage actress in the U.S., her parents were actually art dealers from St. Louis, Missouri and relocated to London to open a gallery. Eventually, the Taylors moved back to the States and settled in Los Angeles just before war broke out in Europe in 1939.
Following a screen test for Universal Studios, nine-year-old Elizabeth was signed to a contract, and made her screen debut at in 1942's There's One Born Every Minute. She was signed to MGM in 1942, and it was there that she had early success as a child actor.
elizabeth taylor, the velvet-eyed beautyIn 1944, at the tender age of 12, Elizabeth landed her first lead role in National Velvet. The film established the young girl with the sparkling, violet eyes as a bona fide star. More parts followed and by 1949, she had graduated to her first adult role, as the romantic lead in Conspirator.
Elizabeth was a grown 18-year-old when she married hotel heir Nicky Hilton in May 1950, the same year she starred in the classic, Father of the Bride. Hilton was the first in a series of seven husbands, and the marriage lasted less than nine months. In 1951, while on loan to Paramount, she received her first serious notice by critics for her performance in A Place In The Sun, directed by George Stevens.
Taylor wed for the second time in February 1952. With husband Michael Wilding, a British actor 20 years her senior with who she had two sons. Michael Jr. was born in 1953, and Christopher in 1955. She continued to appear in a series of films for MGM during these years, but it wasn't until she reunited with Stevens in 1956's Giant (also starring James Dean, in his final screen appearance), that a new phase in her career commenced.
elizabeth taylor adored by menThe actress divorced for the second time on January 30, 1957. Three days later, she married movie producer Mike Todd in Acapulco. Todd was 24 years her senior, but Taylor acknowledges that of all her marriages, this was her happiest. The couple had a daughter, Elizabeth "Liza" Todd in August of that year.
Elizabeth Taylor received her first Oscar nod as Best Actress for 1957's Raintree County. Four days before the ceremony, Todd, flying in his private plane named "The Lucky Liz," was killed when the plane crashed over New Mexico.
Only seven months after giving birth to her daughter Elizabeth, Taylor had already begun working on her next film, appearing as Maggie "The Cat" in 1958's Cat On A Hot Tin Roof opposite newcomer Paul Newman, and received a second Oscar nomination.
It wasn't long after mourning the loss of husband No. 3 that Taylor wed again. Eddie Fisher had been a popular singer in the early 1950s. He was one of the late Mike Todd's closest friends, and best man at Liz and Mike's wedding. He divorced actress Debbie Reynolds to marry Liz, and the press vilified Elizabeth for having broken up their marriage when the couple wed in May 1959.
That same year, Taylor received a third Oscar nomination for 1959's Suddenly, Last Summer. While Oscar eluded her for a third time, she was honored with the Golden Globe for Best Actress.
For her next role, Taylor reluctantly starred as a prostitute in 1960's BUtterfield 8, fulfilling contractual obligations to MGM. Again she was nominated for Best Actress by the Motion Picture Academy, but few, including Liz herself, thought she could win with this role.
elizabeth taylor: queen of the nile... and hollywoodTaylor was in London filming Cleopatra when she became seriously ill and needed an emergency tracheotomy in order to save her life. Taylor survived, and a few weeks later, showed up at the Oscar ceremony. To the astonishment of many, her name was announced as the winner in her category. Elizabeth hobbled up to the stage on crutches, with the surgical scar still visible on her throat.
Cleopatra was the most expensive film ever produced up to that point and making Hollywood history, Elizabeth Taylor became the highest paid movie star when she asked for and received $1,000,000 to star as the Queen of the Nile. It was also on the set of that film where she met her future fifth husband, Richard Burton.
Cleopatra finally premiered in 1963, but didn't do well at the box office. She again co-starred with Burton in The V.I.P.s in 1963, and divorced Eddie Fisher in March 1964; nine days later, she and Burton were married.
Liz and Dick were hounded by the media, particularly the tabloid press. Hollywood's golden couple teamed up once again for 1965's The Sandpiper and in 1966's Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?. It was an unglamorous role in which Taylor played an overweight, loudmouth alcoholic.
Both Taylor and Burton were nominated by the Academy for their highly intense performances and Elizabeth took home her second Oscar for the role. She next appeared with Marlon Brando in Reflections In A Golden Eye in 1967. That same year, she reunited with Burton for the drama The Comedians.
Taylor continued to appear in a series of films that did poorly at the box office, including Dr. Faustus and Under Milk Wood, which all co-starred her husband.
In 1972, Taylor was awarded the Best Actress prize at the Berlin Film Festival for her part in Hammersmith Is Out.
elizabeth taylor experiences a twist of fateThe title of Taylor and Burton's next project proved prophetic. In 1972, the pair starred in a made-for-TV movie entitled Divorce His - Divorce Hers. In June 1974, after 10 years of marriage, the star couple divorced. Sixteen months later, they remarried; 10 months after that, they were divorced for a second time.
It was through Burton that Taylor owned some of the world's most magnificent jewelry, including the the 33-carat "Krupp Diamond," the Duchess of Windsor diamond brooch, the Grand Duchess of Russia emeralds, the "La Peregina Pearl" (which was a Valentine present to her from Richard Burton), and the famous pear-shaped 69-carat "Burton-Cartier Diamond" Burton gave her in 1969 (subsequently renamed the "Burton-Taylor Diamond." Taylor auctioned off her diamond-and-emerald engagement ring from Burton after their divorce to raise money for an AIDS charity. In December 1976, Liz married husband number six, Virginia senator John Warner. They divorced in 1982.
Taylor appeared in a handful of feature films over the next several years, including 1980's The Mirror Crack'd, in which she played an aging movie star. Throughout the 1980s, Taylor appeared in several made-for-TV movies, including 1985's Malice In Wonderland and 1987's Poker Alice.
In 1985, Taylor became the chairperson for the first major AIDS benefit. Her crusade in the fight against the disease intensified following the death of her close friend Rock Hudson later that year.
In 1987, Taylor launched a line of perfumes, starting with one called Passion. Other fragrances followed, including White Diamonds, Diamonds and Emeralds and Black Pearls.
Taylor married again in 1991, this time to construction worker Larry Fortensky, who was 20 years her junior. They divorced in 1996.
Taylor became the voice of Maggie Simpson in a 1992 episode of The Simpsons, when Maggie uttered her first word. She received the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 1992 Oscar ceremony and took home the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award in 1993. Taylor returned to the big screen to play Fred's mother-in-law, Pearl Slaghoople, in 1994's feature film The Flintstones.

One of Taylor's more recent performances was in 2001, when she appeared in the made-for-TV movie These Old Broads, along with Shirley MacLaine and Debbie Reynolds, whose marriage she had broken up some four decades prior. Two years after being made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000, Elizabeth Taylor received the Kennedy Center Honors.
In 2003, one year after undergoing radiation therapy for a form of skin cancer, Taylor announced her retirement from acting. Soon after, she announced she had been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, but vowed to continue raising funds for AIDS charities and to build the Richard Burton Memorial Theatre in Cardiff, Wales.
In 2005, Taylor canceled her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, prompting renewed fears about her health. Sharon Stone and Liza Minnelli stood in for her at an annual charity dinner organized by the American Foundation For AIDS Research (AMFAR), which always coincides with the Cannes.
In 2006, Taylor introduced a line of diamond and precious-stone jewelry called House of Taylor. The designs are said to be inspired by certain favorite pieces in her own collection. Taylor herself is considered to be an authority on the subject -- not surprising given her affinity for precious stones. She also continued her contributions to AIDS that same year with a $500,000 donation to the New Orleans AIDS Task Force to purchase mobile medical unit for AIDS sufferers in New Orleans.
elizabeth taylor's health fails
In 2008, Elizabeth Taylor was hospitalized with congestive heart failure and pneumonia and was briefly on a life support machine. In 2009, she underwent heart surgery in October 2009 to repair a leaky valve.
Taylor was hospitalized again in early 2011, and her celebrated life came to an end the morning of Wednesday, March 23rd, in a hospital in Los Angeles. She is survived by 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren
Always her best at playing dames with attitude, Taylor became more of an icon than an actress in her later years. And though she eventually starred in more than 50 films, Taylor's greatest work came in the middle of her career with Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf? (1967).
With a career and life marked by tragedy, success, irony, and numerous ups and downs, Elizabeth Taylor was -- and will always be -- a veritable Hollywood icon.
