'Choppy waters' as stock market slumps - NBCNews.com (blog)

>>> good evening, this was the worst day of the year on wall street , and unlike other dips and dives in the stock market , the reason for what happened today was pretty clear. it was the nation's top money man, the chair of the federal reserve , who just yesterday gave a mostly positive review of the economy. but also in there was a warning that cheap borrowing may be coming to an end. that was the back drop and today the people who buy and sell stocks for a living, chose to sell, and the numbers went down. in a moment, we'll talk about how homeowners are watching this closely. let's go to where the damage was done, maria bartiromo on wall street in new york.

>> reporter: hi, brian. good evening to you. at this point, everybody has gone home at the new york symptom stock exchange . today's 350-point sell-off comes after yesterday's 200 huf point sell-off, as the federal reserve suggested winding down of the stimulus will begin at the end this year. why is that such a bad thing? once the stimulus goes away, interest rates begin to creep up, take money out of stock market and into fixed income, into bonds. while i keep my money into the stock market which is riskier, and the bond market is a bit safer. that is the thinking. i don't think interest rates will skyrocket out of control and we're down about 5%. 4.8% from the all-time highs in the market, reached in may. every time we've seen a sell-off of 5%, a lot of people expecting a correction of 5%. each time we've seen that, that selling has been met by buyers, the so-called buy on the dip mentality. i suspect we'll see a buy on the dip mentally once again, unclear if that happens tomorrow or later. looks like we'll be into choppy waters the next couple of weeks, brian.

>> mariairobartiromo, where the damage occurred.

Orthaheel Womens Gemma Slippers in Tan Leopard Size 10 Shopper Reviews

I was looking for a shoe with arch support and BOY did I get one! This shoe had so much arch to it that it turned my entire foot in a very uncomfortable position and slid my heel off of the foot heel was literally hanging off the side of the I thought perhaps it would just take me a few days to get used to them but it was physically painful to wear them for even 10 minutes at a Suffice it to say, I sent them I ordered a pair of hipthong sandals from Chaco and they worked much Just in case you are wondering, I wear a women's size 8 I have a medium arch and can wear both B and C width women's If your foot is similar in size and proportion, you may have the same problem with this shoe that I Check out shoes by Chaco or Merrell if you decide to try these and they don't Hope this helps!

I've had plantar fasciitis on my left heel for so long and a couple of trips to my podiatrist (along with 2 painful hydrocortisone injections on my left heel) did NOT solve the pain UNTIL I finally bought these slippers!! I read the reviews from a foot specialty website but decided to purchase from Amazon because my Prime shipping would let me have the slippers I felt the difference in the slippers' support as soon as I put them on and my feet have been thanking me ever since!! I wish I would've found out about the Orthaheel footwear long time ago so I didn't have to waste my money going to the podiatrist and paying for the products that did nothing for my foot!!

Don't Block The Pirate Bay - Huffington Post Canada

Today BBC News reported that an Irish court has ordered six internet service providers in that country to block users' access to popular file-sharing website The Pirate Bay. As usual (at least 10 other countries have implemented similar restrictions), the ban comes on the heels of complaints from big record labels that The Pirate Bay facilitates the unauthorized sharing of copyrighted material.

It's not a shocking notion. The Pirate Bay, which was founded in Sweden about a decade ago by an anti-copyright organization, has long been known as a spot to snap up tunes without a credit card. If you type "free music" into Google, the entire first page of results references, or directs you to, The Pirate Bay. Three of the site's co-founders, along with a site financier, even did prison time after being convicted of copyright violations.

My contention isn't that The Pirate Bay has clean hands (though there is indeed some content on the site that can be shared without violating copyright laws). What I do believe is that resorting to blanket government Internet censorship is a bad way to handle the problem.

Punish those operating the site with full knowledge that it is a de facto illegal download factory? O.K. Go after the users who are knowingly downloading the copyrighted content? I guess (though seeking million-dollar judgments against midwestern moms seems a bad PR strategy for a music industry that has itself facilitated the copyright crisis by so stubbornly refusing to offer viable legal alternatives). But don't take a sledgehammer to free speech and declare a website off limits to the population of an entire country.

What about those in Ireland who were using (or would have used) The Pirate Bay for legitimate purposes? There's nothing inherently evil or illegal about file sharing per se, and one can imagine many legal reasons for visiting. Maybe a fledgling band wants to build a reputation and is trying to get its music into the hands of as many listeners as possible. Maybe a sociologist wants to study current music preferences or trends. Maybe a journalist wants to inform readers about what really is offered on the site. I visited The Pirate Bay in the course of writing this piece. (Canada is not among the countries that have blocked access.) And while my main conclusion from the visit was no weightier than that South Park is right -- the Internet is for porn -- I still very much appreciated the ability to judge the evidence for myself rather than rely on a court's decision that I'd be better off without access to this particular information because I'm too likely to steal some of it.

As chilling as I find the idea of top-down censoring of swathes of speech and data that are not problematic in themselves, there are other considerations that counsel against forced blocking too. First and foremost, it doesn't work. Users have demonstrated time and again that they will respond to such blocks with proxy sites that get around the restrictions. Block the proxies and they'll just create new ones. Unless a government plans on implementing the sorts of authoritarian levels of control of a country like China, Cuba, or China, it's never going to win the battle to suppress access to online information.

That might be bad news for the record industry. But it's ultimately good news for the rest of us.

Though it may have the unfortunate consequence of facilitating copyright violation, an online world of info that is beyond government suppression also has the consequence of ensuring that people can inform the world of their struggles and ideas, debate and bring up controversial issues, and organize reform and rights movements. On the whole, the porn sharing is going to take up more of the bandwidth than these crucial, worthy endeavours. But that's the way free speech works. You've got to take the bad with the good, otherwise you'll soon have none at all.

You see, a government that blocks its citizens from accessing The Pirate Bay (or tries to) is one step closer to being a government that also blocks its citizens from accessing a website that threatens to foment insurrection by being critical of the ruling powers or political system. If the right to check out a file-sharing site doesn't get you excited, what about the right to check out a brutally revealing critique of your country's leadership? Isn't defending the former worth it to protect the latter? But we tend not to bother because we dismiss the whole matter as a debate about torrents and Daft Punk downloads. The key is to remember what is at stake. We're talking about our right to read, view, or listen to information. It is possible to defend copyright without taking such generous bites out of our freedom. It should be a priority to demand that governments enforce copyright in ways that don't penalize the innocent and that don't attempt to hide legal expression from view.

It can be done. But it won't be unless we make a stink.

PS4 Games to Include Indie and Mainstream Releases, 20 Exclusives - Mashable

What's This?

By Chelsea Stark2013-06-11 06:59:49 UTC

PlayStation 4 is set to come out swinging with a wide variety of games that will include mainstream and indie titles alike.

Shu Yoshida, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, said the company already has 20 exclusive games lined up for PS4 in the first year of its launch. Sony spent much of the presentation highlighting all of them, which we describe, below.

The Order

This brand new title by Santa Monica Studio, creator of God of War, features a mix of high and low technology. At first, we saw horses and buggies in The Order, but then got a glimpse of some high-tech weaponry, as onscreen soldiers are attacked by an unseen force.

Final Fantasy XV

Square Enix showed off an incredibly realistic trailer for the Final Fantasy series' next chapter; it featured cinematic sequences and dramatic action.

Kingdom Hearts 3

Square Enix's other announcement of the highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts 3 got the crowd at E3 cheering. While the game's trailer was only a teaser, we saw glimpses of the protaganist and the popular Disney characters he teams up with.

Destiny

Bungie's massive online first-person shooter has been teased for months. Destiny promises a whole new universe dreamed up by Bungie's creative writers, and we saw the first in-engine gameplay demo on Monday night. It looked impressive, and included different ways to solve problems, as well as a variety of weapons.

Mad Max: The Road Warrior

We saw a teaser for a game based on the 1979 post-apocalyptic film that inspired so many works of fiction. It was unclear from the trailer, however, what type of game Mad Max will be.

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag

Sony showed off a long gameplay demo of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag in which we see Edward Keller as a pirate sneaking through the jungle, fighting foes and then piloting and boarding a ship.

Watch Dogs

This Ubisoft title was announced last year to great excitement at E3, and it was a big hit with the crowd this year. We saw protagonist Adrian Pierce hack his way across Chicago, while attempting to evade police through city streets. The game will be available for both PS3 and PS4.

Indies, Indies, Indies

During its presentation, Sony emphasized the number of indie titles that will be coming to PS4 upon its release. The company highlighted games from Bastion creator Supergiant Games, whose new title, Transistor, will make its console debut on PS4.

Sony also mentioned horror games Outlast, Don't Starve and Ray's the Dead.

B's-Hawks: Let the Stanley Cup Finals begin - Boston Herald

The Bruins got their opponent last night and the NHL got an Original Six special for the Stanely Cup finals.

The Chicago Blackhawks beat the LA Kings, 4-3, in overtime last night to earn the right to face the Bruins. It is the NHL's first Original Six meeting in its premier event in 34 years, since the Canadiens and Rangers met. The B's will go for their second Cup in three years while the Blackhawks vie for their second in four.

The series starts Wednesday night in Chicago and here is the series breakdown:

Game 1: Wednesday at Chicago, 8 p.m. (Ch. 7)

Game 2: Saturday at Chicago, 8 p.m. (NBC Sports Network)

Game 3: Monday, June 17, at Boston, 8 p.m. (NBC Sports Network)

Game 4: Wednesday, June 19, at Boston, 8 p.m. (Ch. 7)

Game 5 (if necessary): Saturday, June 22, at Chicago, 8 p.m. (Ch. 7)

Game 6 (if necessary): Monday, June 24, at Boston, 8 p.m. (Ch. 7)

Game 7 (if necessary): Wednesday, June 26, at Chicago, 8 p.m. (Ch. 7)

The Blackhawks and Bruins haven't met in a series since 1978. They didn't play this year due to the shortened season only pitting conference foes against each other. The last time they played was Oct. 15, 2011, when the Bruins won in a shootout. Tim Thomas was in goal for Boston and Tyler Seguin scored the only shootout goal.

Just like the Bruins, the Blackhawks barely escaped a series this postseason, trailing the Red Wings, 3-1, and trailing Game 6 in Detroit in the third period. They survived, as did the Bruins, who trailed Toronto, 4-1, in the third period of Game 7 in the first round.

Chicago, like Boston, has much of its 2010 Cup-winning roster still intact. The Blackhawks were far and away the best team in the regular season, notching a league-high 77 points and posting a 36-7-5 record. They finished with 15 points more than the Bruins.

Regardless of the regular season, oth teams come into this Cup final playing their best hockey.

Taylor Swift Rocks Short Shorts, Bustier At CMT Awards (PHOTOS) - Huffington Post

Taylor Swift cranked up the heat at the 2013 CMT Music Awards Wednesday night in a sparkling black bodysuit, bustier top and short shorts.

The "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer showed her bad-girl side while performing on stage at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. Taking a cue from her title track "Red," Swift donned a split crimson dress over a shimmering bodysuit paired with black booties. And she wasn't afraid to show some leg or cleavage.

SCROLL FOR PHOTOS

Her performance of "Red" was just as hot as her outfit. Along with killer vocals, Swift spiced things up with some hair flips and cross-stage strutting.

The country crooner is known more for a flirty style than a risque one. Swift, who has a penchant for flowy dresses, has said she doesn't want people to think of her as sexy.

"It's just a life decision," she told the Telegraph back in 2011. "I like wearing pretty dresses and I like trying out new styles but I don't feel comfortable taking my clothes off. I wouldn't wear tiny amounts of clothing in my real life so I don't think it's necessary to wear that stuff in photo shoots."

Swift might have had the night's most eye-catching performance, but Carrie Underwood went home with the biggest honor of the night, winning Video of the Year for "Blown Away."

Marilyn Monroe Thought Joe DiMaggio Was 'Great In Bed' (VIDEO) - Huffington Post

We did always wonder about Marilyn Monroe's choice in husbands, particularly when it came to Joe DiMaggio. We will not go into the terrible details -- especially on what would have been Monroe's 87th birthday. But let's just say that he had a definite (and negative) opinion of his wife's work.

So, what drew them together in the first place? Monroe's close friend Amy Greene dropped by HuffPost Live to tell us the simple truth: It was all about sex. Watch the video above for the full scoop.

Monroe's beauty will never cease to amaze us.
