Los monegascos tienen muchas esperanzas en que esta boda reavive el brillo que un día tuvo la Costa Azul y que asegure la continuidad de la vieja extirpe de los Grimaldi que tantos años se ha visto en la cuerda floja.

UConn Grad and Current Minnesota Lynx Forward Named Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year; Only Second Athlete in Program’s 35-Year History to Win Top Award Twice
The Collegiate Women Sports Awards today announced that Maya Moore, University of Connecticut basketball star and current forward for the WNBA Minnesota Lynx, has won the Honda-Broderick Cup, designating her as the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year. Moore’s history-making win is only the second time in all 35 years of the program that an athlete has won the Honda-Broderick Cup twice (swimmer Tracy Caulkins,1982 and ’84), and she is the first-ever back-to-back winner. The announcement was made in the Low Library Rotunda at Columbia University in New York City.

The point here is from a rookie season, even one that portends years of dominance, life makes no guarantee. Parker found that out Sunday in the Sparks' game against the Liberty when she grabbed a rebound, tried to dribble around Quanitra Hollingsworth and tore the lateral meniscus in her right knee.

Typically, these words follow right after “sleep tight,” and they’re meant as a harmless rhyme. When the bedbugs actually do bite, it quickly becomes a more serious situation. That’s where the staff and residents of St. Matthew’s House in Naples found themselves.
Given the transient nature of homeless shelters, with new residents showing up all the time, representing a continual source of infestation, fighting bedbugs is an ongoing struggle.

Trevor Hogg profiles the career of legendary filmmaker George Lucas in the fourth of a six part feature... read parts one , two and three .
For over a decade filmmaker George Lucas had been developing a project which was a gender reversal of the Biblical story about Moses being hidden as a baby in the bulrushes. When asked to describe Willow (1988), Lucas called it “an adventure fantasy that takes place a long time ago in a mythical land.” Cast as the title character who becomes the guardian and defender of the wayward baby from an evil sorceress was Warwick Davis who made a name for himself playing the Ewok known as Wicket. “I was on holiday in southwest England when I got a call from George to come to Elstree – one of the major British studios – and audition for the part,” remembers Davis. “Actually, I did four auditions altogether; three in England and one in America.” The actor was competing against a lot of familiar faces. “There’s not all that much work for short people. Many of us worked for George as Ewoks in Return of the Jedi [1983]. So we knew each other. To this day I still run into blokes who say, ‘You know, I tried out for that bloody party!’”
For over eight years, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has been embroiled in a protracted leadership tussle that has raged between the founding Chairman, Chief Chekwas Okorie and the National Chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh.
As the two chieftains lay claims to the party’s leadership, Okorie believes that no court in the country has pronounced Umeh as APGA chairman while Umeh says the Supreme Court like the other lower courts in March this year sealed Okorie’s hopes by upholding his expulsion from the party.

P HILADELPHIA — When the [ team stats ] signed Bobby Jenks last winter to a two-year, $12 million contract, they expected him to bring another power arm with closer-like stuff to the back of their bullpen.
It hasn’t worked out that way.
Jenks rejoined the Red Sox and was activated from the disabled list before tossing a scoreless eighth inning in last night’s 5-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. It was only his 16th appearance, having been sidelined by a right biceps strain and strained intercostal muscles near his rib cage.
PHILADELPHIA - Should Adrian Gonzalez move to right field in order to make room in the lineup for David Ortiz? Manager Terry Francona says he has discussed the issue with general manager Theo Epstein.
"We've talked about it ad nauseum," Francona said. "We'll talk about it a little bit more."
• Former Minnesota Twins team president Howard Fox has died at the age of 90. The Twins made the announcement on Tuesday. Fox worked for the Twins for more than 50 years, starting as general manager of a minor-league affiliate for the Washington Senators. Fox also worked in public relations and was traveling secretary for the Senators. He accompanied them when they moved to Minnesota and worked his way up to Twins president in 1984.
It's a World Series preview! Or maybe not. But let's do a running diary of Red Sox-Phillies, first of a big three-game series in Philly.
First inning
Our long national debate is over: David Ortiz will not be in the starting lineup. Look, Terry Francona is coming from the right place in saying he doesn’t want Ortiz’s bat to grow stale sitting for nine straight road games in National League parks, but I can’t envision a scenario in which Francona significantly weakens his team defensively at two positions. Maybe we’ll see "Big Papi" start a game or two, but Adrian Gonzalez rarely sits -- he’s missed only five games since 2007. I think the key will be to get Ortiz a pinch-hit at-bat at a key time, even if it means hitting for somebody besides the pitcher or catcher.

WILMINGTON, Del. — Major League Baseball "probably" will file a motion to seize the cash-strapped Dodgers, the Associated Press reported.

In the past five years, three Fairfax County middle schools seem to consistently send the most applicants—and the most admitted students—to TJHSST.

The vision of what a 21st-century classroom is has changed from 2010 to 2011, according to a new report from CDW-G .
Students, teachers, and IT administrators now peg a 21st-century classroom as one that includes wireless Internet, an interactive whiteboard, and digital content. Last year's survey found that an Internet connection, a teacher computing device, and an LCD projector constituted a 21st-century classroom.

With a career that spanned four decades, Jack Lemmon was one of America’s most beloved performers. Ten years after his death, we look back at 10 roles that best define him as an actor.
This film marked the big screen debut of Jack Lemmon . Studio head Harry Cohen worried Lemmon’s last name would prove too tempting for headline writers should the film receive bad reviews, and wanted him to change his name to “Lennon.” Jack Lemmon kept his real name on the screen by convincing the studio head that “Lennon” might too easily be confused with “Lenin” and give the film a whiff of Communism. Critics liked the film and it did moderately well at the box office, leading to the studio casting Lemmon and Judy Holliday together again that year.

For Mamie Jackson of Evanston, the $55.7 billion two-year state budget that Ohio legislators are to approve this week could mean the difference between staying in her own house or having to move to a nursing home.
But to Juanita Albright, a waitress at Hathaway restaurant in downtown Cincinnati, the budget is for all practical purposes a non-issue in her life. With a modest annual income barely enough to have to pay Ohio income taxes, Albright will be largely unaffected, financially at least, by how state officials cut programs, reorder priorities and shuffle around billions of dollars in a voluminous document totaling nearly 5,000 pages.

Of course this gives us the impression that Denny doesn’t believe that P. Dubs has relinquished the Biggest of the Big 4 title, as some other CEOs have claimed .

A blog here, a screen name there, an old social-networking profile or two--the more you use the Web for work and play, the easier it is for others to dig up dirt on you . And while you may not worry much about a few errant comments or tags, you'd surprised at how complete a portrait someone can paint of you with a few quick Google queries.

Oscar Wilde said: “The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.” That still applies in digital times, as companies work hard for “likes” on Facebook or “re-tweets” on Twitter to build their online presence and community interaction.

social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter had shown exponential growth over the past few years
Brands are being told that if they’re not on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, they are committing business suicide. But what do consumers think about marketing and brands in this new media world?
A few days ago we reported that the trailer for Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol would be showing in front of Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. While the film’s release is only a few days away, if you’re itching to see the trailer this may be your lucky day. A French bootleg version has leaked out onto the internet and The Playlist has posted it for our viewing pleasures.
, but first, a little housekeeping: over the last couple of days, the social network started to shut down dozens of applications that run on its platform—including some popular ones—seemingly without any notification to its developers, as it put in place a “new enforcement system” to respond to spam complaints from users.
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em--or, in Facebook's case, hire 'em full time.

Sunday night's WWE Raw brand house show in Houston confirmed several things about the state of affairs on WWE's top brand and also exposed areas where WWE is weak and needs work.
The show also provided a regular look at how the audience is receiving certain characters and simple, basic, often-times generic stories. WWE's version of wrestling is not a sophisticated product, which allows WWE to draw in a wider audience, but also limit emotional investment, which impacts WWE's ability to draw money. Compact that with bad short-term and long-term booking habits on TV and it magnifies the importance of John Cena to this brand.

Leaked information about a very elaborate integration of streaming music services into the Facebook platform has created quite a buzz in the music industry over the last few days and it's easy to see why. In the same way that Facebook embraced gaming to extend its social networking reach, it appears to be on the verge of adding a social networking element to the music listening experience and the implications for the industry are enormous.
Facebook continues to be one of our most popular topics here on OSM and news today is of yet another milestone reached for the popular social networking site.

They packed the pews of a Long Island church this morning to celebrate a woman who had finally found love again — but the tears and laughter were tragically for Jaime Taccetta’s funeral instead of her long-anticipated wedding.
The beloved mother of two, one of four people gunned down at a Long Island pharmacy, was laid to rest today in her white wedding dress as family and friends promised to look out for her two young daughters and derided her senseless death.

​A mind is a precious thing to waste, so why are millions of America’s students wasting theirs by going to college?
All of us who have been there know an undergraduate education is primarily a four year vacation interrupted by periodic bouts of cramming or Google plagiarizing, but at least it used to serve a purpose. It weeded out underachievers and proved at a minimum that you could pass an SAT test. For those who made it to the good schools, it proved that your parents had enough money to either bribe administrators or hire SAT tutors to increase your score by 500 points. And a degree represented that the graduate could “party hearty” for long stretches of time and establish social networking skills that would prove invaluable later on at office cocktail parties or interactively via Facebook.
The internet is an every growing phenomenon. With more information than any human could possibly read, more videos than we could watch in several lifetimes and more pictures than the traditional paper print could ever show without a complete drain on the resources of the planet.

The 2011 West Virginia Mountaineers: Big East College Football Preview and Prediction.
2011 NCAA Football Preview: Big East-West Virginia Mountaineers
Overview:
The off season for West Virginia football has been punctuated by controversy in the coaching ranks, some of which was arguably their own doing. Dana Holgorsen was hired to handle the offensive coordinator position under Bill Stewart and was to take over the program after one year. Some behind the scene actions by Stewart that essentially was making life difficult for Holgorsen ended with his dismissal so the coach of the future became the coach of the present. The question now is can he mold a talented offense in West Virginia in to the juggernauts he led at Houston and Oklahoma State and can he keep his own nose clean after alcohol related issues put him in the news as well for unneeded publicity.
The first words Roger Federer thought of when he realised he would face Argentina's David Nalbandian in the third round at Wimbledon may have been "panic" and "danger".
But it took Federer less than two minutes on Saturday to realise that he did not need to panic as the man standing opposite him posed no danger to his hopes of winning a record-equalling seventh Wimbledon crown.

ByPatrick Johnston,Yahoo! Contributor Network Jun 24, 6:10 pm EDT
There are simply more goals per game scored on average at the Women's World Cup than at the Men's World Cup. That is the way it has been since the Women's World Cup started in 1991. For the women, the number has fallen by about half a goal per game since the 1999 World Cup. However, there have always been more than three goals scored per game. With that statistic in mind, I decided to layout the biggest scoring threats in the 2011 World Cup.

Currently, Pennsylvania Air National Guard units, 56th Army Stryker Brigade and an Army Reserve Center remain at the facility.

Montgomery and Prince George's counties are trying to revamp the Takoma-Langley Crossroads, which straddles the border between the two jurisdictions and suffers from rows of old shopping centers, few amenities and poor pedestrian access.
Both counties want to replace the current shopping centers with mixed-use real estate -- mid- and high-rise buildings with retail on the bottom and residences or offices on top. In particular, Montgomery County officials have described a desire for high-end retail.

Their record seems deserved, too, with a +21 run differential that is tops in the division. There are concerns about whether they can keep this up, though, as they have a potentially killer flaw: a lack of legitimate starting pitching.

Guitarist's New Motema Music CDFeatures Burning B-3 Trio with Pat Bianchi and Drummer Lawrence Leathers
Guitarist JC Stylles, whose Motema debut Exhilaration & Other States will be released on July 12, is that rare artist who knows how to fire up a crowd with some relentless swing, cool them out with a relaxed groove or a beautiful ballad, and then reignite the blaze with a burning tempo that only a full-fledged master instrumentalist could conjure. Veteran jazz guitarist Rodney Jones has championed Stylles as a "keeper of the flame" and offers this high praise for his young descendant: "In an era where so little is genuine and real, Stylles has succeeded in capturing honesty and integrity,

Dans quelques jours, le Prince Albert de Monaco dira oui à Charlène Wittstock. A l'occasion de ce mariage princier, Mattel lance la poupée de collection Grace Kelly.
Née en 1929 en Philadelphie, Grace Kelly fait du mannequinat avant de commencer une carrière dans le cinéma où elle sera notamment l'interprète de prédilection d'Alfred Hitchcok. En 1955, Grace Kelly obtient un Oscar et tombe sous le charme du Prince Rainier de Monaco. Le mariage sera célébré en avril 1956.

MONTE CARLO. Charlene, die künftige Ehefrau von Fürst Albert, hat es nicht leicht in ihrer neuen Heimat Monaco. Der Mythos ihrer verstorbenen Schwiegermutter, Grace Kelly, wird sie überall verfolgen. Die frühere Olympiaschwimmerin beweist aber dennoch Selbstbewusstsein.
Wer durch Monaco streift, kommt an der legendären Fürstin Gracia Patricia nicht vorbei. Der Mythos lebt: Avenuen und Hospitäler, Schulen und Kindergärten sind nach ihr benannt, auch der Fürstenpalast ist voller Grace Kelly-Bilder und -skulpturen. Charlene Wittstock, die künftige Princesse de Monaco und Première Dame des Fürstentums, wird es schwer haben, aus dem Schatten ihrer Vorgängerin herauszutreten. Vier Jahre hielt Albert II. seine mitunter schüchtern wirkende Verlobte meistens dezent im Hintergrund. Doch der harmlose Eindruck täuscht: Die frühere Olympiaschwimmerin erweist sich als eine sehr kämpferische, zielstrebige und durchsetzungsfähige Persönlichkeit. Längst hat sie damit begonnen, unter den Höflingen des Fürsten aufzuräumen und sogar guten Freunden des Hauses den Laufpass zu geben.
Alberto il sobrio, l’introverso, l’eterno scapolo dalle molte avventure, ha finito per cedere alle esigenze del protocollo. A 53 anni, gli ultimi dieci dei quali trascorsi a fianco di Charleene, il principe offre a Monaco una principessa e, chissà, forse in futuro anche un erede. I due figli che ha riconosciuto non possono infatti ambire al trono.
Enkele weken na het Britse ‘huwelijk van de eeuw' zijn alle ogen gericht op het amper 2km² grote Monaco. Maar dwergstaat of niet, prins Albert (53) en de Zuid-Afrikaanse Charlene Wittstock (33) zijn van plan er komende vrijdag en zaterdag iets grandioos van te maken.
Elf jaar geleden hebben ze elkaar voor het eerst ontmoet. De Zuid-Afrikaanse Charlene Wittstock, die eerder dat jaar op de Olympische Spelen van Sydney met de Zuid-Afrikaanse zwemploeg vijfde eindigde, kaapt op de internationale zwemmeeting van Monaco de gouden plak weg op de 200meter rugslag. En wie mag haar die medaille om de hals hangen? Juist.

Roy Oswalt left the Phillies’ 12-2 loss to the Cardinals on Thursday night after allowing four runs in two innings and feeling tightness in his lower back.
Later, we discovered that the pain in Oswalt’s back would cause him to miss his next start.
Now, the news has become grim, as the veteran right-hander is talking about the possibility of his injury sending him to the sideline for good.
Sam Donnellon: A's pitcher Outman takes long way to the Bank
NEW YORK - Gio Gonzalez, Carlos Carrasco, Josh Outman. Most teams would salivate for the chance to put those names at the top of their rotation, especially if they could drop in, say, a Gavin Floyd or maybe even a Kyle Drabek, once the kid straightens things out in Triple A, to round it out.
Comment(12) Email Print Share Facebook Tweet RSS
First impression: The Phillies lost a game and maybe a starting pitcher in Thursday night’s 12-2 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Roy Oswalt was forced from the game after two innings because of lower back stiffness.
The loss was the Phillies’ worst of the season. They finished a six-game road trip at 3-3 and are 47-29 on the season.
Vance Worley seems to be doing pretty well so far.
After five appearances last season as kind of a preview, where he went 1-1 with an ERA of 1.38, he got another opportunity this year with the injury-ridden Phillies pitching staff.
He has had a solid campaign so far, but there are a few areas that could be slightly improved.
The Major League Baseball non-waiver trade deadline is July 31 st . That means there are only 40 days left for teams to figure out their needs,explore available options, and complete deals.
For most major league teams, needs became pretty apparent over the course of the first seventy-some games of the season. The Phillies have likely known theirs since shortly after spring training when it became crystal clear that Ben Francisco was not an adequate right-handed replacement for Jayson Werth .

Anonymous, We Hardly Know Ye : A picture is slowly emerging of the Anonymous “hactivist” collective, and its spinoff LulzSec. “What once was just a righteous rabble-rousing by Anonymous in the name of Internet freedom,” The Wall Street Journal writes, “has mutated into more menacing attacks.”

We reaffirm our long-term Neutral recommendation on Arris Group Inc. ( ARRS ). The company’s first-quarter 2011 financial results failed to meet the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Arris is a leading provider of infrastructure solutions for broadband networks. The company’s success is mostly dependent on the cable MSOs decision to install new networks or upgrade the existing networks. If the cable operators fail to compete effectively with other pay-TV service providers, then it will significantly affect Arris’ future growth. Management provided a weak financial outlook for the rest of 2011.
After years of pushing for more flexibility in the industry, Canada’s broadcast regulator should not “turn back the clock” and impose more restrictions on the country’s largest media companies.
That was the message executives from Shaw Communications Inc. SJR.B-T took to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on Wednesday. It was the third day of a hearing in Gatineau, Que., on “vertical integration,” or the consolidation that has seen cable and satellite companies owning more of the TV channels they distribute.

The Tribe started the season 30-15, and are currently at 39-33 after going through a rough patch during the end of May and beginning of June. The team is full of many surprising stories that explain their success.
Ayer 21 de junio de 2011, el Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados (ACNUR) y la Oficina del Alto Comisionado para los Derechos Humanos (OACDH) pidieron conjuntamente a los gobiernos de los paÃses adonde han llegado los haitianos luego del terremoto del 12 de enero de 2010, suspender las repatriaciones involuntarias a HaitÃ, por razones humanitarias. Además, ambas agencias de la ONU exhortan a los gobiernos a renovar también por razones humanitarias los permisos de residencia y otros mecanismos que han permitido a los haitianos permanecer en el exterior.

In the spirit of the Fourth of July, it's a great time to take a look at some of the top American PGA golfers. While it may not have been our game originally, we have really taken the sport of golf and turned it into something special. America has seen some amazing golfers on the PGA Tour over the years.

Stubborn unemployment and dipping housing prices placed Jacksonville in the bottom 20 in economic performance in the first quarter when ranking the nation's 100 largest cities, according to a report released Wednesday.
The Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program's latest MetroMonitor says the Jacksonville metropolitan area is doing badly in two key areas: the one year change in housing prices, where it came in 94th out of 100, and the one-quarter change in employment, where it ranked 92nd. Jacksonville lost three-tenths of one percent of its employment base during the first quarter and 11.3 percent in value in housing prices when compared to the first quarter of 2010.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., June 22 (UPI) -- Police in Illinois said a woman was taken to jail after allegedly tearing the underwire out of her bra and using it to scratch her boyfriend's car.
Springfield police said the live-in boyfriend of Tanika McCool, 29, told officers the couple had been arguing at about 7:30 p.m. Sunday when McCool pulled the underwire out of the bra she was wearing and used it to put a 6-inch scratch on his red 2001 Cadillac, The (Springfield) State Journal-Register reported Tuesday.
As national newspapers like the New York Times struggle to reinvent themselves for a digital age, there’s also a widening gap in the local and community-level media market, as the FCC described in its recent report on the state of the media industry. For every chain like the Journal-Register that is trying innovative “digital first” strategies, there are dozens of media outlets trying to downsize their way to profitability or installing paywalls. The Knight Foundation, one of the leading funders of media experimentation in the U.S., is hoping to help solve the local media problem through the Center for Civic Media at MIT. It just announced new funding for the center, and a new director: online media pioneer Ethan Zuckerman.

I disagree with The State Journal-Register's opinion on breed banning of pit bulls. Breed banning is always the simplistic, reactionary approach and never works to stop dog bites.
All dogs should be micro chipped at birth or soon thereafter. All vets should scan dogs for the chip and without it, not treat the animal until after the chip is inserted and ownership is registered. There should also be a sales record of dogs much like with livestock to track ownership.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- A guy can have only so much fun with a Giant Slide.
At least that's how Dennis Herrington, who has been sole owner of the Giant Slide at the Illinois State Fairgrounds since 1995, sees it.
He's now 57 years old, has had health problems and has no children at home to help him operate the iconic structure just inside the Main Gate of the fairgrounds.
Qriocity manager Michael Aragon ponders the music service's future in March, just six weeks before a security breach would taint the service's reputation.
Sony's quest to return to a position of power in the music sector already faced plenty of obstacles.
A reputation for writing flawed software was one. Another was the company's history of creating failed consumer-focused media services that appeared more concerned with satisfying honchos at the company's film studio and record label. The company's hardware and software makers struggled to build devices and services that allayed security concerns held by content creators. Sony Connect , the so-called iTunes killer that bubbled up out of the chaos, was a glitch-prone and DRM-laden fiasco that launched to great fan apathy.

Peace Walker HD in particular was playable at E3 and seeing as I'm a massive dork for the franchise, I didn't hesitate in getting some hands-on time with it at Konami's booth.

I get a kick out of business buzzwords. Reengineering. Rightsizing. Repurposing. One of the latest you may have heard bandied about is "Voice of the Customer." It's a phrase that, in fairness, recognizes that companies can go astray by making decisions without fully understanding their effect on those they serve. But I've also heard the term invoked as a way to trump (or delay) an idea born of inspiration or imagination—as if by magically incorporating "the voice of the customer" a company can somehow eliminate risk.

Wat brengt Sony Ericsson in 2011?
Sony Ericsson begon het jaar sterk met de komst van de Sony Ericsson Xperia Play en Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc . Op het moment dat deze twee mobiele telefoons aangekondigd werden, stonden er nog twee telefoons in de schijnwerpers, de Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro en Xperia Neo. Het GSM bedrijf ondervond de nodige productieproblemen die veroorzaakt werden door de ramp in Japan, maar inmiddels lijkt alles weer redelijk op schema te zitten. Wat zal Sony Ericsson ons de rest van 2011 brengen?
A Sony Ericsson a jelek szerint megpróbálja bebizonyítani, hogy 100 ezer forint alatt is lehet minőségi Androidos készüléket piacra dobni. És úgy tűnik, ez sikerül is nekik.
Az olcsó persze mindig pénztárca függő meghatározás, de a mai okostelefon kínálatot nézve az SE Neo a maga 85-90 ezer forintos árával az olcsóbb kategóriába tartozik, miközben simán hozza a 100 ezer feletti készülékek tudását.
Vom der japanischen Hersteller CAV kommen demnächst für ungezuckerte 9800 Yen (rund 85 Euro) diese ganz bezaubernden Hello Kitty Speaker, speziell für den Sony Walkman und verwandte Geräte.

Und, ja, CAV hat auch Hello Kitty Speaker für iPhone/iPod und andere Gelegenheiten im Programm. Niedlich, oder?
