Martha Graham's 117th Birthday
Martha Graham (May 11, 1894 – April 1, 1991) was an American dancer choreographer regarded as one of the foremost pioneers of modern dance, whose influence on dance can be compared to the influence Stravinsky had on music, Picasso had on the visual arts, or Frank Lloyd Wright had on architecture. Graham was a galvanizing performer, a choreographer of astounding moves. She invented a new language of movement, and used it to reveal the passion, the rage and the ecstasy common to human experience. She danced and choreographed for over seventy years, and during that time was the first dancer ever to perform at The White House, the first dancer ever to travel abroad as a cultural ambassador, and the first dancer ever to receive the highest civilian award of the USA: the Medal of Freedom. In her lifetime she received honors ranging from the key to the City of Paris to Japan's Imperial Order of the Precious Crown. She said, "I have spent all my life with dance and being a dancer. It's permitting life to use you in a very intense way. Sometimes it is not pleasant. Sometimes it is fearful. But nevertheless it is inevitable."

Most Wanted Osama Bin Laden Death/Killed by US special forces in Pakistan
Osama Bin Laden was a great Crimer in the world.Most Wanted Osama Bin Laden Death/Killed by US special forces in Pakistan
World leaders hailed bin Laden's death but the euphoria was tempered by fears of retaliation and warnings of the need for renewed vigilance against attacks.
The death of bin Laden, who achieved near-mythic status for his ability to elude capture under three U.S. presidents, closes a bitter chapter in the fight against al Qaeda, but it does not eliminate the threat of further attacks.
The September 11, 2001, attacks, in which al Qaeda militants used hijacked planes to strike at economic and military symbols of American might, spawned two wars, in Afghanistan and Iraq, inflicted damage on U.S. ties with the Muslim world that have yet to be repaired, and redefined security for air travelers.
A small U.S. strike team, dropped by helicopter to bin Laden's compound near the Pakistani capital Islamabad under the cover of night, shot dead the al Qaeda leader in a firefight, U.S. officials said.
"This was a kill operation," one security official told Reuters, but added: "If he had waved a white flag of surrender he would have been taken alive."
The revelation that bin Laden was living in a three-story residence in the military garrison town of Abbottabad, and not as many had speculated, in the country's lawless western border regions, is a huge embarrassment to Pakistan, whose relations with Washington have frayed under the Obama administration.
President Barack Obama, whose popularity suffered from continuing U.S. economic woes, will likely see a short-term bounce in his approval ratings. At the same time, he is likely to face mounting pressure from Americans to speed up the planned withdrawal this July of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.
However, Bin Laden's death is unlikely to have any impact on the nearly decade-long war in Afghanistan, where U.S. forces are facing record violence by a resurgent Taliban.
Many analysts see bin Laden's death as largely symbolic since he was no longer believed to have been issuing operational orders to the many autonomous al Qaeda affiliates around the world.
Financial markets were more optimistic. The dollar and stocks rose, while oil and gold fell, on the view bin Laden's death reduced global security risks.
Within hours of the deadly raid, Bin Laden's body was buried at a sea to prevent his gravesite from becoming a rallying point for his followers, U.S. officials said. Muslim religious rites were conducted on the deck of a U.S. aircraft carrier in North Arabian Sea, a defense official said.
"You wouldn't want to leave him so that his body could become a shrine," one U.S. official said.
Mindful of possible suspicion in the Muslim world that U.S. forces may have gotten the wrong man, a U.S. official said DNA testing showed a "virtually 100 percent" match with the al Qaeda leader. His body was also identified by one of his wives, an intelligence official said.
Fearful of revenge attacks, the United States swiftly issued security warnings to Americans worldwide.
CIA Director Leon Panetta said al Qaeda would "almost certainly" try to avenge bin Laden's death.
"Though Bin Laden is dead, al Qaeda is not. The terrorists almost certainly will attempt to avenge him, and we must -- and will -- remain vigilant and resolute," Panetta said.
France's President Nicolas Sarkozy hailed the killing as a coup in the fight against terrorism, but he, too, warned it did not spell al Qaeda's demise.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said the West would have to be "particularly vigilant" in the weeks ahead.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon hailed bin Laden's death as a "watershed moment in our common global fight against terrorism."
U.S. officials said bin Laden was found in a million-dollar compound in Abbottabad, 35 miles north of Islamabad. After 40 minutes of fighting, bin Laden, three other men and a woman, who U.S. officials said was used as a human shield, lay dead.
A source familiar with the operation said bin Laden was shot in the head after the U.S. military team, which included members of the Navy's elite Seals unit, stormed the compound.
Television pictures from inside the house showed bloodstains smeared across a floor next to a large bed.
It was the biggest national security victory for the president since he took office in early 2009 and will make it difficult for Republicans to portray Democrats as weak on security as he seeks re-election in 2012.
In sharp contrast to the celebrations in America, on the streets of Saudi Arabia, bin Laden's native land, there was a mood of disbelief and sorrow among many. The Palestinian Islamist group Hamas mourned bin Laden as an "Arab holy warrior."
But many in the Arab world felt his death was long overdue. For many Arabs, inspired by the popular upheavals in Egypt, Libya and elsewhere over the past few months, the news of bin Laden's death had less significance than it once might have.
The operation could complicate relations with Pakistan, a key U.S. ally in the battle against militancy and the war in Afghanistan. Those ties have already been damaged over U.S. drone strikes in the west of the country and the six-week imprisonment of a CIA contractor earlier this year.
Pakistani authorities were told the details of the raid only after it had taken place, highlighting the lack of trust between Washington and Islamabad.
"For some time there will be a lot of tension between Washington and Islamabad because bin Laden seems to have been living here close to Islamabad," said Imtiaz Gul, a Pakistani security analyst.
Bin Laden was finally found after U.S. forces discovered in August 2010 that one of his most trusted couriers lived in an unusual and high-security building in Pakistan that had few outward facing windows and no Internet or telephone access.
"After midnight, a large number of commandos encircled the compound. Three helicopters were hovering overhead," said Nasir Khan, a resident of the town.
"All of a sudden there was firing toward the helicopters from the ground," said Khan, who watched the dramatic scene unfold from his rooftop.
Thousands of cheering and flag-waving people converged on the White House after Obama made his televised announcement. Similar celebrations erupted at New York's Ground Zero, site of the World Trade Center twin towers destroyed on September 11.
"I never figured I'd be excited about someone's death. It's been a long time coming," said firefighter Michael Carroll, 27, whose firefighter father died in the September 11 attacks.
Former President George W. Bush, whose eight-year presidency was defined by the September 11 attacks after he launched a global "war on terror" to root out Islamic militants, called the operation a "momentous achievement".
The United States is conducting DNA testing on bin Laden and used facial recognition techniques to help identify him, the official said.

How to Hack Speed up your XP and Vista by hack its system registry
Do you know that your computer is like your car: it needs periodic maintenance to keep it running at optimum performance. Installing and un-installing programs, surfing the Internet, emailing, and other everyday activities create a sort of “sludge” that builds up in your computer over time, much like an automobile engine. After a while, it doesn't startup like when it was new, it stalls unexpectedly, and performance is sluggish on the (information) highway.
Of course, the fastest and easiest way to speed-up your computer is to allow a software program to do it for you! Although you will find that all of the adjustments in this book will speed up your system, the most effective and easiest way to give your computer blazing speed is to clean up your system’s Registry.
We strongly recommend running a free Registry scan to find out how many errors you computer is hiding from you. Your computer will likely have hundreds of Registry errors that are dramatically slowing down the potential speed and performance.

Sony PSN Network up And working May 27.2011
The playstation network has been down for 19 months (feels like factor) and still hasn't told us die hard playstation users when to expect them to fix the raggedy bastid.
They should change their tagline to: Sony Playstation does everything...but frikken log on to its own network.
I mean come on Sony, we shelled out hard earned money to talk bad about people of other ethnicitys anonymously while we shoot them in the face online, I want my Black Ops back on. Some of us even have xbox 360's just sitting on the floor next to the playstation 3, I still haven't gotten around to playing anything on it since the hacked PSN network went down. Sony you do know you got PWN's right? Because you are acting like you didn't. Routine maintenance my eye.
Since the network went down all Sony has told us is ....Nothing Useful.
When you try to log in it just says ....nothing useful.
...But let the new $100 map pack come out and see how much info we get bombarded with.
We deserve better treatment sony. I am sorry that your coast is glowing in the dark right now but that should make it easier for you to work day and night to get me back to calling people gay while I shoot them online in black ops. I mean its day all around the clock in Japan right now, so what's the hold up?
This outage has to be a conspiracy orchestrated by the pharmaceutical companies to sell more PROZAC because quite frankly I am about to go crazy and get to throwing wet balled up paper towels at my household pets. I may even blow a fuse listening to my daughter play dance dance revolution on my Xbox 360. Do you know how that makes me feel Sony? The weed man in my "hood" now sells anti-depression pills along with the weed and he says its his biggest seller this week.
Sony you have exactly one more day to fix the network or I swear by all that is holy that I will go downstairs to my Playstation 3 console pick it up and try again to log in. I am really starting to get pissed. This is starting to get ugly, like the head man in charge of sony. I see now that all those Samarai movies were full of crap because somebody over at sony should be eating their short sword over this. What happened to honor and all that Tom Cruisery? O reap Tai Pan - how are all of sony's executives still above ground?.... wait... I think the network is working...
...no that's just netflix crapping all over sony. $300 netflix router is all my ps3 is right now.
PSN News Update: Suicides rate has tripled in last 5 days. Domestic violence on the rise.
