0 Is Kasaab Still Alive?

The jail officials hanged him and the medical officers declared him dead but the fact is that Kasaab is not dead. He is alive and with full spirit, he is busy working on his agenda somewhere near us. I am saying this because for me Kasaab is not the name of some Pakistani but it is the mindset which not just exists but spreading fast as well. As an author put it that we were told by the western media outlets and a number of other people that the bearded lot is the real threat to the mankind and humanity but what we see in Pakistan, it is the social media addict westernised youth which seems to be the real threat. These people, graduated...

0 ‘People’ Magazine’s Sexiest White Man Alive: Channing Tatum

Yesterday, Channing Tatum was anointed People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. And while it’s true that 2012 was really Tatum’s year, with three successful movies at the box office—The Vow, Magic Mike, and 21 Jump Street—Tatum is part of a 26-year long tradition of anointing square-jawed white men as the hottest in the land. The one exception: when they chose a square-jawed black man—Denzel Washington in 1996. And during the last four years, when there has been an African-American president (who, if he were a Hollywood hunk, should surely have topped the list), it seems preposterous that no other men of color have...

0 Hope Solo, Jerramy Stevens marry

U.S. women's soccer team goalkeeper Hope Solo and former NFL tight end Jerramy Stevens were married Tuesday, according to reports, after an altercation that left Stevens in jail and their wedding plans up in the air. KING5.com in Seattle reported Solo and Stevens were married Tuesday night in a small ceremony near Snohomish, Wash. Only close family and friends were in attendance, with one of Solo's friends describing the wedding as "beautiful," the station reported.

0 Google's Nexus 4: Understanding your carrier options

Can you believe it? After months of waiting and anticipation, Google's new Nexus 4 phone is finally here. The Nexus 4 is available now (when it's in stock, at least) at $299 for an 8GB version or $349 for a 16GB model. For those of us in the U.S., that setup is a bit different from what we're used to with smartphone sales: Rather than being sold through a carrier, subsidized and on contract, Google is focusing on direct and unlocked sales with its Nexus 4 phone. That means you buy the device outright from Google -- no contracts, no subsidies, and no commitments to anyone. Youcan buy the Nexus in a...

0 Jill Kelley, key figure in David Petraeus scandal, led lavish life

  When Jill Kelley believed a reporter was trespassing at her white-columned mansion in a wealthy neighborhood this week, the Tampa socialite called 911 and claimed diplomatic immunity. "I'm an honorary consul general, so I have inviolability," an exasperated Kelley told the dispatcher in recordings released by police. "I don't know if you want to get diplomatic protection involved as well." Kelley isn't a diplomat; she holds the ceremonial title of "honorary consul" for South Korea, one of many informal ties to prestige and power that the energetic 37-year-old mother of three has brandished to climb to the top...

0 Not letting whooping cough gain ground

Whooping cough is making a comeback. The good news is that it can be prevented and treated when it's caught early. According to whoopingcough.net, "Whooping cough is a contagious bacterial disease chiefly affecting children and characterized by convulsive coughs followed by a whoop." The "whooping" sound is the noise a person's voice box makes when they can take a breath again after the coughing subsides. Whooping cough is more severe than an ordinary cough and early on it can be difficult to tell the difference between the two, says Dr. Richard Krieger, chairman of the Infection Control Committee at Chilton Hospital. "In the first one...
