<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">(CNN)</strong> -- Australian golfer Jason Day leads the pack after two rounds of the Masters golf tournament, though a host of players -- including No. 1 ranked player Tiger Woods and Chinese teen phenom Tianlang Guan -- remain in contention for the prestigious green jacket.</div>
<div class="cnn_storypgraphtxt cnn_storypgraph2" style="border: 0px; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 24px 19px 186px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Day surged to the top of the leaderboard by shooting 4-under-par on Friday to finish 6-under after two rounds. Fred Couples and Marc Leishman sit one stroke behind him, at 5-under-par after two rounds.</div>

Tiger Woods was among the leaders much of the day but faltered late -- done in, in part, by bad luck after his ball hit the flagstick on the 15th hole and careened into the water. He trails Day by three strokes.</div>

<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Obama, who renewed his call for higher taxes on the wealthy in the budget he released Wednesday, paid $112,214 in taxes last year, putting his effective federal tax rate at 18.4 percent. The Obamas donated almost one-quarter of their income to charity, helping to lower their overall tax bill, according to tax returns released by the White House.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Most of the $608,611 that the Obamas reported in adjusted gross income came from the president's salary, as he reported $394,840 in wages. An additional $258,772 came from royalties from his books, including his 1995 memoir "Dreams From My Father," his 2006 political book, "The Audacity of Hope," and a 2010 children's book, "Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters."</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Income from Obama's books has fallen off since 2009, when his books sales surged after his inauguration. The Obamas made $5.5 million that year—his first year in office—but the figure dropped precipitously the next year to $1.73 million. In 2011, the Obamas reported about $790,000 in income.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
The president and Mrs. Obama signed their tax returns on Monday—one week before the April 15 deadline for Americans to file their 2012 returns.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Itemized deductions of $258,385 brought the Obama's taxable income down to $335,026. The first family deducted $45,046 in interest on the mortgage for their home in Chicago, plus $36,554 in state and local taxes and $26,751 in real estate taxes.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
Through withholding and estimated tax payments during the year, the Obamas paid $129,029 to the Internal Revenue Service—an overpayment of $16,815. The Obamas directed that, rather than receive a refund, the overpayment will be applied to their taxes for next year.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
The Obamas also claimed $39,875 in income from outside the United States. A White House official said all of that income came from book royalties, but did not disclose details about which countries the income came from. The official was not authorized to comment publicly on Obama's taxes and spoke on condition of anonymity.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
The president and first lady reported donating $150,034—or 24.6 percent of their income—to 33 charities. That's a slight dip from the previous year, when the Obamas donated more than $172,000. The largest contribution last year was a $103,871 donation to Fisher House Foundation, which provides humanitarian services to military members, veterans and their families. Other charitable groups that received donations from the president for $5,000 or less include the American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the United Negro College Fund.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
The president and the first lady also paid $29,450 in income taxes to Illinois, according to their state tax returns.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
The White House also released tax returns for Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, who teaches at Northern Virginia Community College.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
The Bidens paid $87,851 in federal income taxes on $385,072 in adjusted gross income. The vice president and his wife paid state income taxes in two states—$13,531 in Delaware and $3,593 in Virginia. The Bidens overpaid a bit last year in their withholdings, so they'll get a refund of $4,608 from the IRS.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
They reported donating $7,190 to charity. The largest sum of $2,400 went to the Catholic Diocese in Wilmington, Del.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
The president this week revived his push for wealthier Americans to pay higher taxes, arguing that higher earners like himself should bear a larger share of the burden for deficit reduction. The $3.8 trillion budget blueprint he unveiled Wednesday proposed that "wealthy millionaires pay no less than 30 percent of income, after charitable contribution, in taxes," to ensure that poorer Americans don't get stuck paying higher rates than the wealthy. Obama also proposed a change in the way inflation is calculated that, if proposed, would have the effect over time of pushing more Americans into higher tax brackets.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
"The president believes we must reform our tax system, which is why he has proposed policies like the Buffett Rule that would ask the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share while protecting families making under $250,000 from seeing their taxes go up," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement accompanying the release of Obama's tax returns.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding: 0px;">
During the negotiations with Congress over New Years, Obama won a tax increase on incomes over $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples, although he had wanted those thresholds to be lower. The deal to avert the so-called fiscal cliff preserved the lower Bush-era tax rates for the middle class.</div>

On Wednesday, June Shannon, the mother of six year old Alana Thompson, better known as “Honey Boo Boo,” said she and her family make more than $4,000 an for their TLC reality TV show named after the pageant princess.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em;">According to TMZ, after a report that stated Thompson and her family made somewhere between $2,000 and $4,000 per each episode of “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” Shannon spoke to the online tabloid saying it was much more than that, but she would not divulge the dollar amount, only saying “We’re very well compensated.”</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em;">Nonetheless, she also said that the show provides more than a good income for the family, noting, “We’re making memories to last a lifetime.”</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em;">Shannon also told the website that although she and her family have been highly criticized and called terrible things due to their lifestyle, she welcomes the "haters" as they add ratings to the show.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em;">“It’s weird that haters know more about our show than our amazing fans,” she said.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em;">credit : "http://www.examiner.com"</div>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13437379642260374128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066792434456977477.post-66563898229536433392012-09-01T12:19:00.000-07:002012-09-01T12:19:48.230-07:00Fan falls to death at Houston Texans' Reliant Stadium<img src="http://www.csmonitor.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/media/content/2012/0831-reliant-stadium/13633308-2-eng-US/0831-reliant-stadium_full_380.jpg" /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
<br />
A 25-year-old fan died after tumbling about 60 feet from a fifth-floor escalator at Reliant Stadiumduring a preseason Houston Texans game, officials said Friday.<br />
<br />
Jonathon Kelly of Houston fell to the ground floor during the Thursday night game against the Minnesota Vikings, and frantic witnesses called police to report where his body had landed, police spokesman John Cannon said.<br />
<br />
The fall appeared to be an accident, according to police, who didn't immediately release the victim's name pending notification of his family. But the Harris County medical examiner's office released Kelly's name and hometown Friday evening.<br />

<br />
Kelly was traveling down from the fifth floor when he fell to the ground, said Mark Miller, the general manager of SMG-Reliant Park. Two medical teams working at the stadium treated the man at the scene before he was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital, where he died, he said.<br />
<br />
Staffers monitor fan safety at each escalator landing, Miller said.<br />
<br />
"We make sure they're not overloaded and we try to operate them in the safest possible manner," Miller said.<br />
<br />
The bank of escalators in the northeast corner of the stadium where the fall occurred was closed for inspections, and Reliant Park officials are reassessing safety procedures, he said.<br />
<br />
But Texans President Jamey Rootes indicated that security and safety changes were unlikely because of the fatal fall.<br />
<br />
"We have our procedures in place, the league has a whole comprehensive set of best practices relative to fan behavior and stadium security," Rootes said. "We've always been rated at the very highest level ... I don't know that anything changes."<br />
<br />
The Texans open the regular season on Sept. 9 with a home game against the Miami Dolphins.<br />
<br />
The fall wasn't the only fatal incident at a Texas sport venue in recent years. In 2011, a firefighter attending a Texas Rangers game in Arlington died when he fell from the left field stands while reaching for a baseball tossed his way by All-Star outfielder Josh Hamilton.<br />
<br />
Shannon Stone fell about 20 feet onto concrete when he tumbled over the left-field railing after catching the ball and falling into an area out of sight from the field as the Rangers faced Oakland. Cooper Stone, his 9-year-old son, witnessed the fall during the second inning.<br />
<br />
In April, a statue of Stone and his son was dedicated to Rangers fans in front of the home plate gate at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. Railings also were raised throughout the ballpark before this season.</span>adminhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13437379642260374128noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066792434456977477.post-84173647753508927252012-09-01T12:13:00.000-07:002012-09-01T12:13:38.260-07:00Princess Diana'sซ15-Year Death Anniversary <img alt="Princess Diana Death Anniversary" src="http://i.huffpost.com/gen/752950/thumbs/r-PRINCESS-DIANA-DEATH-ANNIVERSARY-large570.jpg" /> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
It may be hard to believe, but today marks the 15th anniversary of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.<br />
<br />
Diana and her companion Dodi Fayed died from injuries sustained from a car accident in Paris, France on August 31, 1997. Driver Henri Paul was also killed, and bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones sustained major injuries. At the time, their Mercedes were being pursued by paparazzi. None of the occupants were wearing seatbelts.<br />
<br />
An 18-month French investigation found Paul responsible for the crash. Paul was intoxicated at the time, and lost control of the car. Mohamed Al-Fayed, Dodi's father, claimed his son and Diana's deaths were part of a conspiracy theory orchestrated by the royal family. An Al-Fayed spokesperson said the couple were engaged at the time of the accident. Subsequent investigations dismissed these theories.<br />
<br />
Diana was only 36 at the time of her death, and left behind two sons, Princes William and Harry. The entire world mourned the passing of Princess Diana, with an estimated 2.5 billion people watching her funeral. In the 15 years since her death, laws limiting the paparazzi have strengthened, and the Royals have moved on with their lives.<br />
<br />
Still, we can only wonder how life of "The People's Princess" and her family would've turned out had she lived. Click on the gallery above to see how her death affected the royal family and other figures, including Elton John and George Clooney. </span><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
When there seems to be a new cute kitten gaining YouTube fame each week, it’s tough to stand out from the cat crowd. <br />
<br />
<br />
But that’s certainly not a problem for Venus – the ‘two-faced’ cat who is the internet star du jour. <br />
<br />
<br />
The feline’s face is perfectly divided in two – one half is jet black while the other is calico. And, as if this wasn’t enough, her eyes are different colours too – one is ice blue, the other is green. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Who you calling two-faced? Venus - with her face perfectly divided into two colours and with her different coloured eyes - is the internet star of the moment<br />
<br />
Venus is known as a chimera cat because of her genetic composition and her different eye colours are caused by heterochromia.<br />
<br />
<br />
Janus, the Roman god with two faces, would have perhaps been a more obvious deity to name the three-year-old cat after, even if she is a female. <br />
<br />
<br />
Venus has several YouTube videos which have been seen about 154,000 times with thousands clicking the 'like' button. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2012/08/26/article-2193843-14B3A2DF000005DC-204_306x387.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<br />
Seriously sweet: Venus has attracted world-wide fame thanks to her striking appearance <br />
<br />
<br />
Unsurprisingly, Venus now has her own Facebook page too where she has attracted more than 22,000 fans. <br />
<br />
<br />
However, Venus is learning that world-wide fame has its downsides too as she has been unfavourably likened to Harvey Dent, Batman’s nemesis Two-Face. <br />
<br />
<br />
Venus’ proud owner describes her lovingly as a ‘gentle’ and ‘perfect’ pet with a deceptively big appetite. <br />
<br />
<br />
‘As tiny as she is she likes to pick the giant pieces of food from the dog food bowl rather than eat her cat food,’ the owner writes on Venus’ Facebook page.<br />

<div style="font-size: 20px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">Years after a large study on hormone replacement therapy revealed health risks among older women using it to prevent chronic disease, the number of women who take hormones continues to decline, according to a new study.</div><span id="midArticle_1" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans;"></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">The researchers found that in 2009 and 2010, less than five percent of women over age 40, who had already gone through menopause, use either estrogen alone or estrogen and progestin. That compared to about 22 percent in 1999 and 2000.</div><span id="midArticle_2" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans;"></span><br />

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">The WHI reported in 2002 that taking estrogen plus progestin appeared to increase the risks of stroke, heart disease and breast cancer.</div><span id="midArticle_4" style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans;"></span><br />

Thebreast cancer drug tamoxifen may reduce some of the side effects caused by hormone therapy for prostate cancer, according to a new study.<br />
<br />
Androgen-suppression therapy is often used to slow the progression of advanced prostate cancer. But these drugs, which block testosterone activity, can cause side effects such as breast enlargement and pain that may stop men from using this treatment.<br />
<br />
German researchers examined the results of four independent clinical trialsthat examined the use of tamoxifen to manage these side effects in prostate cancer patients undergoing androgen-suppression therapy.<br />
<br />
The study found that tamoxifen reduced the risk of breast enlargement and breast pain in men at three, six, nine and 12 months of treatment compared to men who did not take tamoxifen. Overall, tamoxifen was more successful in reducing breast symptoms than radiation therapy or treatment with the aromatase inhibitor anastrozole, which is also used to treat breast cancer.<br />
<br />
Few of the men treated with tamoxifen stopped taking their medication during their year of treatment. Tamoxifen caused no significant side effects, according to the researchers.<br />
<br />
The study appeared online Aug. 27 in the journal BMC Medicine.<br />
<br />
"Not all men will suffer [breast enlargement] during anti-androgen therapy. However, if men know that there is a successful option for reducing the breast symptoms associated with treatment for prostate cancer, they may be more likely to see their doctor when symptoms of cancer first appear, and consequently reduce the number of unnecessary deaths," study leader Dr. Frank Kunath said in a journal news release.<div><br />

<br />
Ravens star Ray Rice took to Facebook in the wake of the shooting at Perry Hall High School to speak out against bullying and urge kids to befriend the lonely.<br />
<br />
Saying he was "pretty much moved to tears" by news of the shooting on the first day of school, Rice wrote at length, urging kids to be nice to one another.<br />
<img src="http://articles.baltimoresun.com/images/pixel.gif" /><br />
<br />
<br />
"I am speechless and pretty much moved to tears," Rice wrote. "How is it that there is such a lack of SIMPLE HUMAN DECENCY AND KINDNESS toward one another? How does bullying reach THIS level?? Some people might think that bullying is only between two people and bystanders are not affected. Well that is crap! EVERYONE is affected. I am affected, YOU are affected. TWO lives have been hurt now...the shooter and the victim. RIDICULOUS! I can't possibly yell it loud enough or say it often enough - BE KIND TO EACH OTHER!"<br />
<br />
<br />
Bullying is a meaningful topic for Rice. In June he spoke to thousands of people about it at Merriweather Post Pavilion, part of his "A Ray of Hope: A Pro-Kindness, Anti-Bullying, Teen Suicide Prevention Outreach."<br />
<br />
On Facebook, he told young people they could be a "hero" by being nice to someone who needs a friend.<br />
<br />
"What if this kid had a friend to talk to???" He wrote. "The outcome may have been SO different."<br />
<br />
He continued: "Students...today when you go to school...Sit with someone who is alone at the lunch table, befriend the new kid in class, lend a helping hand, make it a point to be kind, and if you see something that is not quite right, say something!! You can be a HERO to someone, just by being their FRIEND!"<br />
<br />
Rice also urged people to be more aware, looking for young people who might be in distress.<br />
<br />
"Bullying or not, how does nobody notice that something is going wrong in the kid's life? How do people stand by and do nothing?" he wrote. "We need to start saying 'what's wrong?' and do something about it before tragedy strikes! I can't help but wonder if someone was kind to these kids if their paths would have shifted long ago and tragedies would be averted. Just makes me think...and wonder...and hope for better things."<div><br />
