Tragedy in Colorado movie theater!

Suspect involved with deadly shooting at Colorado movie theater planned the attack! 

The suspect, James Holmes, is accused of going on a shooting rampage at the movie theater during Friday's midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises," killing 12 people dead and injuring 58. He was packing as many as 6,000 rounds of ammunition with the ability to shoot up to 50 a minute. Holmes used a military-style semi-automatic rifle, a shotgun and a pistol to open fire on the unsuspecting theater-goers. He had bought the weapons at local gun stores within the last two months. He recently purchased 6,000 rounds of ammunition over the Internet. Holmes also bought an urban assault vest, two magazine holders and a knife for just over $300 on July 2 from an online supplier of tactical gear for police and military personnel, according to the company. Chad Weinman, CEO of TacticalGear.com, said his company processes thousands of orders each day, and there was nothing unusual in the one that Holmes placed.

Law enforcement official told The Associated Press late Saturday that a semi-automatic assault rifle used by the shooter jammed during the attack, forcing him to switch to another weapon. The Aurora Police Department dismissed reports a second individual was being looked at as a person of interest or a suspect in the shooting. In a statement obtained by Fox News, Aurora Police Department spokeswoman Cassidee Carlson called reports of a second suspect "unconfirmed and inaccurate."

Earlier Saturday, authorities eliminated all the explosives in Holmes' booby-trapped apartment. No officials were injured in the process, but Carlson says the booby trap trip wire at his apartment was "meant to kill," the first person who opened the door to the apartment. The Aurora police chief says the trap was meant specifically to kill a police officer who might have opened the door.

A possible motive for one of the deadliest mass shootings in recent U.S. history? Holmes had recently withdrawn from a competitive graduate program in neuroscience at the University of Colorado-Denver, where he was one of six students at the school to get National Institutes of Health grant money. He recently took an intense three-part, oral exam that marks the end of the first year of the four-year program there, but university officials would not say if he passed, citing privacy concerns. The university said Holmes gave no reason for his withdrawal, a decision he made in June.
Information from neighbors and former classmates in California said although Holmes was whip-smart, he was a loner who said little and was easily forgotten.

Holmes was in solitary confinement for his protection at a county detention facility Saturday, held without bond on suspicion of multiple counts of first-degree murder. He was set for an initial hearing on Monday and has been appointed a public defender. Among the deceased victims was a 6-year-old girl and a man who died on his 27th birthday and a day before his wedding anniversary. Families grieved and waited at hospitals, which reported at least seven still in critical condition.

The film's leading man, Christian Bale, who plays Batman, issued a statement on Saturday: "Words cannot express the horror that I feel. I cannot begin to truly understand the pain and grief of the victims and their loved ones, but my heart goes out to them."

Top 5 crazy urban myths!!

Don't always believe what you hear...Top 5 ridiculous Myths!

5) If you shave your hair, it returns thicker and faster.

Many men believe that shaving, waxing and cutting hair can accelerate its growth and that the hair will return  thicker and darker. In reality, it's one big special effect. For one thing, hair on the head and the body isn't alive. Living hair lies under the skin and scalp, so cutting it won't change the texture or speed that it grows. The fact is you're merely seeing your hair at a different stage. Seeing your hair in a shaved state can cause you to see "more" hair when it makes its return.

                         

4) The Salem witch burnings.

In February of 1692, an investigation was launched into alleged witchcraft among citizens in colonial Massachusetts. Over the next year, some 150 people were arrested and 20 of those convicted were executed. Contrary to popular belief, however, the accused “witches” were not burned.  While some European laws encouraged burning after death as a way to "cleanse" witchcraft, it was forbidden in Massachusetts. At that point in time, the judicial system was operating under English law. As a result, the "witches" all died through hanging, except for one: Giles Corey, who was crushed to death for refusing to enter a plea.

3) The only visible man-made structure from space is the Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is one of Earth's architectural wonders. Historians like Richard Halliburton boldly proclaimed that it could be seen from the moon. NASA's Lunar launch proved Halliburton wrong, but the belief remains that from a close orbit, the Great Wall is the only man-made structure visible on Earth.
Ironically, the Great Wall isn't very easy to spot from a close orbit of 180 miles. The colors don't distinguish the wall from its natural surroundings. Furthermore, astronaut descriptions and photographs have shown that airports and highways can be seen from orbit as well.

2) The inventor of the light-bulb was Thomas Edison

Calling Thomas Edison the "inventor" of the light-bulb is false. Although instrumental in developing a commercially successful light-bulb, he did not create it. A closer examination takes us to 1809, when Englishman Humphry Davy created an arc lamp. A decade later, Warren De la Rue built the first sealed light-bulb and in 1840, William Robert Grove lit an entire room of lamps. Unfortunately, the products were expensive with questionable durability. Eight scientists and three patents later, Edison expanded on these ideas to create a longer-lasting, cheaper product.

1) Humans only use 10% their brains

In the 1800s, scientists debated the overall function of the brain. Out of these debates, William James later wrote about humans only using a small percentage of their brains and the 10% myth was born.
Although simple tasks require specific brain areas, anything complicated requires far more than 10% of the brain; magnetic imaging has documented this and scientists are basically in agreement about brain functions. Unfortunately, many psychics still use the 10% myth to promote the idea that they are using more brain power than others. Psychics might be intrinsically connected to some topics, but brain science isn't one of them.

Coca-Cola ends sponsorship with Ronaldinho!

Yet another celebrity/sports figure loses their advertising sponsorship over a silly mistake!

Coca-Cola ends Ronaldinho sponsorship; he appears at press conference with Pepsi cans!

Soccer star, Ronaldinho is being accused of breaching contracts with Coca-Cola. A deal that lasted a year. The breaking point for Coke was the fact that, Ronaldinho appeared with cans of Pepsi, a sponsor of his new club Atletico Mineiro, at press conferences.

The events occurred shortly after Ronaldinho leftFlamengo FC, "the team with the largest fan base" in Brazil. The star, appeared at an introductory news conference with his new club Atletico Mineiro "surrounded by Pepsi cans." Thus, ending the short-lived sponsorship with a high cost. Ronaldinho will not receive any additional money from the company nor will the drink manufacturer have to pay a fine.

As previously stated, Pepsi is a sponsor of Atletico Mineiro, so their product's appearance at the club's official press conferences is likely not by Ronaldinho's choice. Although many say it was for the fact he had a deal with Pepsi long before he signed with Coke. Most analyst and sports-casters belive it was for the fact that onaldinho had left their beloved Brazilian club. Sports trades can bring fourth hadships on all sides. (Even sponsors)
The fact is Coca-Cola did not enjoy that the new club, Flamengo, releasing video of the Brazilian  bringing women back to the team hotel, with incidents such as his webcam masturbation "show" last November.

Innaproprite acts such as those stated above are the reason Coke ends its short sponsorship with Ronaldhino. (Not just a few Pepsi cans)

 

Anderson Silva TKO's Chael Sonnen @ UFC148

In the main event at UFC 148, middleweight champion Anderson Silva solidified himself in history as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters ever. 

Silva scored an impressive technical knockout over Chael Sonnen  at 1:55 of the second round at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first round was clearly won by Sonnen. He took Silva down in the first six seconds of the round and stayed in his guard for 4 minutes and 55 seconds. He was able to land several punches on the champion, but nothing damaging.

In the second round, Silva showed the American why he is considered the best MMA fighter ever.
Sonnen went down low to try another takedown, but Anderson held the challenger's shorts and controlled his movement. Sonnen then tried a spinning back fist on the Brazilian, but missed badly landing on his back looking up at the champion.

Anderson took full advantage of the missed swing and landed a significant knee to Sonnen's chest, which turned out to be the key strike of the fight. The champion moved in like shark to chum and attacked with prejudice. Silva had landed a knee while Sonnen was down -- an illegal maneuver that prompted controversy in the immediate wake of the outcome -- but video replays confirmed the knee hit Sonnen's chest. Sonnen cradled up in a fetal position as Anderson threw punch after punch. Showing the determination that has gotten him this far in his career. Sonnen made it back to his feet before Anderson landed a right hand that knocked him down to the canvas for the last time. Referee Yves Lavigne stepped in and stopped the bout at 1:55 of the second round.

Great start to Sheen's Anger Management

Charlie Sheen's new FX comedy "Anger Management" debuted to huge numbers last night, scoring the biggest scripted comedy debut in cable history. 

5.47 million total viewers, with 2.65 million of those in the coveted adults 18-49 demographic.
The number shot up as the viewer count grew as the hour went on, with an audience of 5.74 million viewers tuning in for "Anger's" second half.

When the show was announced on FX, people were willing to give his new project a chance. Given FX's great comedy track record (Always Sunny, The League, etc), Anger Management is a great laugh-inducing sitcom fare, with Sheen now taking over both Two and a Half Men adult roles.
To some people disappointment Charlie Sheen in a format that makes Charlie Sheen fans comfortable.
It's Charlie Sheen in every scene. It's Charlie Sheen at work. At a bar. In his daughter's room. At his ex-wife's house. Followed by a  giant supporting cast of characters.

The jokes hit at good times, with most of the enormous cast acting mostly as crude stereotypes (the 'Nam vet, the gay dude, etc) and obviously co-existing with the punch line deliveries.

If you're a fan of Sheen and his witty humor, then this is a thriller.

Top 5 Best Jobs in America

Best jobs in a rising economy!

5) Marketing Specialist:

Top pay: $79,400

10-year job growth: 28%
Total jobs: 90,000

Chief marketing officers expect marketing budgets to increase 6% from last year.
That means more work for marketing specialists, a job where you can focus on areas as narrow as social media or be responsible for all aspects of promoting a product including pricing and advertising.
Little formal training is required. Good to have audience engagement or creative thinking skills.
Thankfully, The Business Marketing Association also offers professional development courses.



4) Civil Engineer

Top pay: $110,000
10-year job growth: 24%
Total jobs: 170,000

The country's aging infrastructure won't be able to keep up with its growing population without the help of civil engineers. Supervise and design bridges, highways, tunnels, and water and sewage systems.
Though the industry has slowed along with the economy, the long-term growth potential is strong.
Coursework can take around 18 months. A two-year master's degree is recommended, but some jobs don't require it. For a license, you'll have to pass an exam and amass about four years of relevant work experience.




3) Financial Advisor

Top pay: $234,000
10-year job growth: 30%
Total jobs: 70,000

Boomers wrapping up their careers need guidance managing their retirement, creating demand for advisers. A financial background helps, but equally important are strong interpersonal skills.
You'll probably need course work in financial topics like investing, retirement and taxes, and you must pass a 10-hour exam. To be fully credentialed, you'll also need three years of relevant work experience.





2) Physical Therapist

Top pay: $97,800
10-year job growth: 31%
Total jobs: 190,000

Health care is a booming field, and the demand for physical therapists is increasing apace. You'll need to go back to school to learn the techniques for increasing patient mobility and decreasing pain, but the two- to three-year graduate program is still far shorter than the time it takes to become a doctor.





1) Software Developer

Top pay: $118,000
10-year job growth: 32%
Total jobs: 380,000

As technology evolves rapidly, companies continue to need developers to design, test, and debug software programs for mobile devices and apps.
Since the landscape changes so often, even longtime developers frequently need to retrain and learn new programs, lowering the barriers to entry for job switchers.
If you have a technical background, all you need are self-study courses for vendor-specific program certifications.

The Big 3 get it DONE!!

LeBron James wins his first championship ring as Heat win NBA Finals!!!

 

James had 26 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, a triple-double in his final masterful playoff appearance.

Not the welcoming rally two summers ago, where he boasted of multiple titles, perhaps without realizing how hard it would be to win just one. Dreaming of this moment, with teammates surrounding him and the NBA championship trophy beside him. Ripped and ridiculed for the way he announced he was leaving Cleveland and taking his talents to South Beach, it's all worth it now for James. "I'm happy now that eight years later, nine years later since I've been drafted, that I can finally say that I'm a champion, and I did it the right way," James said. "I didn't shortcut anything. You know, I put a lot of hard work and dedication in it, and hard work pays off. It's a great moment for myself."

Coming up as a choker last year, the guy who came up small in the fourth quarter, mocked for "shrinking" in the moment while playing with what he called "hatred" in trying to prove his critics wrong. He came to Miami seeking an easier road to the finals but found it tougher than he expected, the Heat coming up empty last year and nearly getting knocked out in the Eastern Conference finals this time by Boston. Facing elimination there, James poured in 45 points on the road to force a Game 7 and the Heat won it at home.
"It was the hardest thing I've ever done as a basketball player," James said. "You just put a lot of hard work into it and you hope that one day it will pay off for you."

The disappointment of losing to Dallas in six games a year ago vanished in a blowout of the demoralized Thunder, who got 32 points and 11 rebounds from Durant. Bosh finished with 24 points and Wade scored 20. Surprisingly receiving mass help from Mike Miller, who made seven 3-pointers and scored 23 points
Miller, banged up from so many injuries that he limped from the bench to scorer's table when he checked in. He made his fourth 3-pointer of the half right before James' fast-break basket capped a 15-2 run that extended Miami's lead to 53-36 with 4:42 remaining in the first half.

The Thunder were making a remarkably early trip to the finals just three years after starting 3-29, beating the Mavericks, Lakers and Spurs along the way. With Durant, Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka and James Harden all 23 or younger, the Thunder have the pieces in place for a lengthy stay atop the Western Conference. "It hurts, man," Durant said. "We're all brothers on this team and it just hurts to go out like this. We made it to the finals, which was cool for us, but we didn't want to just make it there. Unfortunately we lost, so it's tough."

Congrats to the Miami Heat, they have solidified their names in the history books of the NBA as the 2011-12 NBA Champions!! 

LeBron James as the MVP!
