Maroney had hinted on Twitter that she had done "the face" at the White House, saying, "Did I just do the Not Impressed face with the President." But she didn't know when â€" or even if â€" the White House was going to release the photo.

Her father saw it first and sent Maroney a text message. It wasn't long before pretty much everyone was passing it around.

"It's really funny," she said. "Because it's like everywhere."

http://www.scpr.org/

"He's the coolest person I ever met," she said â€" which is saying something, considering the Fierce Five have hobnobbed with a Who's Who of celebrities since London. "He's got the hardest job in the entire world."

The entire U.S. Olympic team visited the White House earlier this fall, but the Fierce Five missed it because they're doing a 40-city nationwide tour. But the show, which ends Sunday in New York, was in Washington on Thursday night, so Maroney, Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, Kyla Ross and Jordyn Wieber got their own private visit.



The Fierce Five had talked to Obama in London, where they became just the second U.S. women's team to win the Olympic title, and first since 1996. But it was neat to meet him in person, Maroney said.

Maroney was photographed making the half scowl with her nose scrunched up while she was on the medals podium after winning silver on vault at the London Olympics. It spawned dozens of "McKayla Maroney is not impressed" memes â€" including one showing a photoshopped Maroney in the White House Situation Room on the night Osama Bin Laden was killed.

The "face" has become Maroney's trademark. But it's one thing for fans to ask her about it, quite another when the president does.

"I, like, freaked out," Maroney, 16, of Laguna Niguel said. "He said, 'Let's do it together.' We took a picture and now it's everywhere."

Barack Obama 'unimpressed' photo with OC gymnast goes viral

By AP | November 17th, 2012

Even McKayla Maroney was impressed.

A photo of the Olympic gold medalist gymnast and President Barack Obama doing her now-famous "McKayla Maroney is not impressed" face went viral Saturday after the White House posted it on Twitter. The two took the picture Thursday when Maroney and her Fierce Five teammates visited the White House.



"He was the one who brought it up," Maroney  told The Associated Press. "We were about to leave and he said, 'I want to talk to you one second about the face.' He said, 'I pretty much do that face at least once a day.'"

tina dear,

drop him.  drop him before you could even think of getting engaged.  huwag kayong maniwala na dahil sa iyo ay nais niyang magbago ng buhay.  mahiwaga ang buhay nga tao...

in the beginning, maybe he could change.  and mean it.  but he will backslide and by then it would be too late.  take him as you see him, not as what you dream of the ideal that he could become.  so here he is: on drugs, an inveterate liar, living in his own bubble.  what a deadly combination.  then ask yourself; what kind of role are you willing to take in his world and how far are you willing to go to fulfill that role?  surrogate mother?  martyr?  therapist?  why aren't you smiling now?

consider that you may have better chances with the likes of advisers like pikoy and bolbuhol.  they may speak a different language, but they'll never lie through their teeth.

The couple had no idea the photo would garner so much attention, but is enjoying the humor people are getting out of it. Galuppo has even been propositioned to pose with the portrait, painted in 1562, again, in full matching attire.

“Someone on on Reddit actually offered to make a costume for it. If we could find a costume, he’d be 110 percent behind that idea. He would definitely do it,” Curtis said.

Once the photo started swirling around the Internet, Galuppo decided he should probably look into the portrait’s history a bit more, which actually proved quite enlightening to him.

“It’s actually funny because I tried to research the painting as much as I could. There’s not a lot of information from it. The area that the painting is from in Italy, that area is actually where my grandparents are from. I might check out Ancestry.com to see if there’s a relationship,” Galuppo said.

The museum acquired the portrait as part of the John G. Johnson collection in 1917.

Man Finds His Doppelganger in 16th Century Italian Painting

Nov 13, 2012   


Courtesy Nikkie Curtis

What started out as a leisurely stroll through the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Nov. 11 with his girlfriend, quickly turned into quite a surreal experience for Max Galuppo, 20, of Bloomsbury, N.J.

Galuppo, a Temple University student, found his doppelganger in a 16th century Italian painting by an unknown artist titled “Portrait of a Nobleman with Dueling Gauntlet.”

“It was really weird. He goes to Temple so we’d been saying for a while we wanted to go to the art museum,” his girlfriend, Nikkie Curtis, told ABCNews.com. “We went into the armor exhibit and he loved the helmets. He was completely oblivious to it, and I walked past it and was like, ‘Do you see this painting right now? It looks just like you.’”

Although Galuppo’s resemblance to the dark haired, huskily built, bearded face seems obvious to the 735 Reddit users who have commented on the photo since Curtis uploaded it to the site late Sunday night, Galuppo, at first, said he failed to recognize the similarity.

“To be honest, I didn’t see it. I didn’t see the resemblance,” Galuppo said. “And then I saw the picture of me next to it, and you can’t deny that.”

“Mochi has always been at the top of his class, in training school,” Yasuda told ABC News. “I just wanted to find a way for him to help others.”

Japanese police departments have traditionally used larger dogs like German shepherds for their canine force, but they have increasingly turned to smaller breeds in recent years. Last year, toy poodles Karin and Fuga became minor celebrities after qualifying for the police force in Tottori Prefecture. A few years ago, Miniature Schnauzer “Kuu” joined the local police force in Wakayama, while long-haired Chihuahua “Momo” qualified for duty, alongside Beagle “Ginny.”



The emergence of the alternative breeds isn’t coincidence. Some police departments struggling to recruit large dogs recently amended rules that said tinier pups weren’t fit for duty. They proved their worth in the aftermath of the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami last year, when they crawled into tiny spaces their counterparts could not, in search of bodies.

Another Toy Poodle Joins Japanese Police Ranks

By Akiko Fujita


The name is Naomi.  Naomi Yasuda.  (hehe, this picture's owner ba.  not the poodle.)

Police in Japan’s Kyoto Prefecture have enlisted a four-year-old toy poodle to join its crime-fighting ranks, joining a growing number of Japanese police departments that are taking on miniature canines.

Mochi passed his police dog exam last month, after six months of training. He is the third toy poodle to join the police ranks, but the first to be enlisted as a sniffer dog.

Kyoto police said that Mochi has been trained to detect drugs, explosives, and other odors, and will be used on a “case-by-case” basis for the next year.

Weighing less than 4 pounds, Mochi is considered small for a toy poodle, but his owner Naomi Yasuda says he has the smarts of larger, more traditional canines. He has already been trained as a therapy dog, and has spent the last few years providing affection and comfort to nursing home patients.

this sounds like a horror movie straight from the classics.

This will continue for a few days and then the victim will regurgitate the substance known as vomito negro or black vomit. This is a red liquid speckled with black, it is blood that has come into the stomach as the Ebola virus eats away at the stomach wall. The red dots on the victims face have become swollen, purple bruises, and the connective tissue on the face has corroded so that the entire face is black and blue, and literally hanging from the bone.

The victim holds himself/herself rigid as if any movement would rupture something inside of them. Blood has begun to clot all over the blood stream while the liver, the kidneys, the lungs, hands and feet are all being jammed with blood clots. In essence a full body stroke is occurring and the blood is slowing down enough to kill the internal organs. The intestines are dead or dying, and personality is being wiped away by brain damage, this is called depersonalization and it means that the brain has been liquefied by the virus to the point that only the basic instincts and functions are still working.

Soon after nose bleed begins, signaling the last stage of the attack. As the victim's flesh deteriorates, the body becomes a virus time bomb.

The last phase occurs only after the victim has vomited all stomach contents and much blood and has lost most human personality characteristics.  After all this, the victim "crashes and bleeds out", feeling dizzy and utterly weak, the spine goes limp and nerveless and all sense of balance is lost.  The room turns around and around. The victim is going into shock. Then, leaning over head on the knees, a huge amount of blood is expelled with a gasping groan. Consciousness is lost and the now limp body is pitched forward onto the floor. The only sound is a choking in the throat while the vomiting continues while the he/she is unconscious. Then the sound of a bed sheet being torn in half, which is the sound of the bowels opening and venting blood from the anus. The blood is mixed with intestinal lining. The gut has been sloughed. The linings of the intestines have come off and are being expelled with huge amounts of blood.

what does an ebola patient go through?   

often quoted as descriptive of an ebola patient are excerpts from the book "the hot zone" by richard preston.  the following is the mildly paraphrased excerpt of the most important points:

     The headache begins, typically, on the seventh day after exposure in the form of a throbbing pain behind the eyes, the pain grows worse and the eyeballs hurt. Medication has no affect. The pain moves around between the eyes and the temples. Then a backache forms.

    On the third day after the headache starts the victim becomes nauseated and spikes a fever, and vomiting begins.

    When the vomiting becomes intense dry heaves, the victim becomes strangely passive, presumably from brain damage. The face loses all appearance of life and sets into an expressionless mask, with the eyelids droopy, as if the victim's eyes are falling out and half closed at the same time. The eyeballs are frozen in their sockets and turn a bright red. The skin on the face turns yellowish with star like red speckles. on the whole the victim will begin to look zombie-like.

    With this physical transformation, there is a considerable psychological change as well; becoming sullen, resentful, angry, and very amnesiac, the victim may seem like a zombie in behavior as well.

congratulations, jinping.  bahalag di ko world leader, congrats gihapon.  here's hoping you won't be as myopic as your predecessor by letting us and our small speck of a scarborough shoal be.

President Mujica he chose to stay on his wife's farm

He is also supporting a debate on the legalisation of the consumption of cannabis, in a bill that would also give the state the monopoly over its trade.

"Consumption of cannabis is not the most worrying thing, drug-dealing is the real problem," he says.

However, he doesn't have to worry too much about his popularity rating - Uruguayan law means he is not allowed to seek re-election in 2014. Also, at 77, he is likely to retire from politics altogether before long.

When he does, he will be eligible for a state pension - and unlike some other former presidents, he may not find the drop in income too hard to get used to.

That's not good, isles. I hope you told your friend, "remember thou art mortal."

now that you've mentioned it, how sweet it would have been if i instead told him how lucky he was to meet immortal me.

But however large the gulf between the vegetarian Mujica and these other leaders, he is no more immune than they are to the ups and downs of political life.

"Many sympathise with President Mujica because of how he lives. But this does not stop him for being criticised for how the government is doing," says Ignacio Zuasnabar, a Uruguayan pollster.

The Uruguayan opposition says the country's recent economic prosperity has not resulted in better public services in health and education, and for the first time since Mujica's election in 2009 his popularity has fallen below 50%.

This year he has also been under fire because of two controversial moves. Uruguay's Congress recently passed a bill which legalised abortions for pregnancies up to 12 weeks. Unlike his predecessor, Mujica did not veto it.

"But what are we thinking?  Do we want the model of development and consumption of the rich countries?  I ask you now: what would happen to this planet if Indians would have the same proportion of cars per household than Germans? How much oxygen would we have left?

"Does this planet have enough resources so seven or eight billion can have the same level of consumption and waste that today is seen in rich societies?  It is this level of hyper-consumption that is harming our planet."

Mujica accuses most world leaders of having a "blind obsession to achieve growth with consumption, as if the contrary would mean the end of the world".

Mujica could have followed his predecessors into a grand official residence

"I'm called 'the poorest president', but I don't feel poor.  Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle, and always want more and more," he says.

"This is a matter of freedom.  If you don't have many possessions then you don't need to work all your life like a slave to sustain them, and therefore you have more time for yourself," he says.

"I may appear to be an eccentric old man... But this is a free choice."

The Uruguayan leader made a similar point when he addressed the Rio+20 summit in June this year: "We've been talking all afternoon about sustainable development.  To get the masses out of poverty.

i had an encounter with a government employee this afternoon.  i thought he owned central visayas.  he impressed me as such.

This year, he added half of his wife's assets - land, tractors and a house - reaching $215,000 (£135,000).

That's still only about two-thirds of Vice-President Danilo Astori's declared wealth, and a third of the figure declared by Mujica's predecessor as president, Tabare Vasquez.

Elected in 2009, Mujica spent the 1960s and 1970s as part of the Uruguayan guerrilla Tupamaros, a leftist armed group inspired by the Cuban revolution.

He was shot six times and spent 14 years in jail. Most of his detention was spent in harsh conditions and isolation, until he was freed in 1985 when Uruguay returned to democracy.

Those years in jail, Mujica says, helped shape his outlook on life.

bravissimo!  when kaha mi sa pinas maka-mayor pareha nimoh!

he chose to live simply sans material frivolities.  he seems happier because his kind of poverty is a choice.  he even makes do with a three-legged dog.

"I've lived like this most of my life," he says, sitting on an old chair in his garden, using a cushion favoured by Manuela the dog.

"I can live well with what I have."

His charitable donations - which benefit poor people and small entrepreneurs - mean his salary is roughly in line with the average Uruguayan income of $775 (£485) a month.

In 2010, his annual personal wealth declaration - mandatory for officials in Uruguay - was $1,800 (£1,100), the value of his 1987 Volkswagen Beetle.


All the president's wealth - a 1987 VW Beetle

President Mujica has shunned the luxurious house that the Uruguayan state provides for its leaders and opted to stay at his wife's farmhouse, off a dirt road outside the capital, Montevideo.

The president and his wife work the land themselves, growing flowers.

This austere lifestyle - and the fact that Mujica donates about 90% of his monthly salary, equivalent to $12,000 (£7,500), to charity - has led him to be labelled the poorest president in the world.

Jose Mujica: The world's 'poorest' president

By Vladimir Hernandez
BBC Mundo, Montevideo
15 November 2012


Jose Mujica and his dogs outside his home

It's a common grumble that politicians' lifestyles are far removed from those of their electorate.  Not so in Uruguay.  Meet the president - who lives on a ramshackle farm and gives away most of his pay.

Laundry is strung outside the house.  The water comes from a well in a yard, overgrown with weeds.  Only two police officers and Manuela, a three-legged dog, keep watch outside.

This is the residence of the president of Uruguay, Jose Mujica, whose lifestyle clearly differs sharply from that of most other world leaders.

5. A salacious sex scandal will push everything off the top of the rundown or the front page, especially when the most immediate next challenge is the "fiscal cliff," a dry and arcane topic that will cause most people to change the channel or turn the page.

That's one reason we know this strange and twisting case, already involving such a complicated and unlikely cast of characters, will continue to garner enormous attention for a long, long time.

The least we can hope is to learn some useful lessons.

http://edition.cnn.com/

In this case, with Petraeus having achieved such a high level of recognition for his public service, many people seem to almost hope that a genuine national security angle will be found, because it's too difficult to justify the sacrifice of a talented official, or perhaps more than one, over foolish peccadillos.

Until more is known, the rest of the world is shaking its head at what could be another baffling case of American puritanism.

Americans, meanwhile, are already trying to work out whether it makes sense to even consider the sexual lives of public officials.  There is the none-of-our-business crowd, which I believe is gaining strength, pitted against those who would like to keep aiming for strict ideals of morality, on the argument that personal dishonesty reflects a moral failing that will ultimately take a toll on the work of a public servant; that if a man will lie to his wife, he will lie to his country. This is a questionable proposition.

4. Americans are deeply torn about the question of private morality and the public sphere.

There is a nagging sense that the Petraeus case may have cost the United States the service of an uncommonly talented man for no good reason.  We don't know all there is to know, and there is a possibility that this is a matter of compromised national security, in which case the invasion of privacy, the destruction of personal lives, and the painful intrusion into the deepest emotional recesses of several families' worlds, could ultimately prove justified.

Score a point for the rule of law in America, but subtract one for privacy and another for the randomness of FBI work.  It seems rather strange that the FBI decided to pursue a case of harassing e-mails.  I was once personally told by an FBI agent, in no uncertain terms, that the FBI had no time to spend on threats sent over the Internet, even if the messages included a threat to kill.

3. The FBI can investigate practically anyone in the U.S., even the director of Central Intelligence.

That's a stunning notion to contemplate, and it says both good and bad things about America.  First the good: No one is above reproach, not even a man whose power is vast and often elaborately concealed.  In fact, if you ask the world's great conspiracy theorists, they will tell you the CIA can do anything, anywhere, at any time.  But its boss got found out by his own country's law enforcement gumshoes.  That's amazing.

When the FBI came calling, Google opened up its shockingly large files, as it does with shocking regularity.  Google knows everything about you, and it frequently shares with those who ask.  Google's own reports say it passed information to authorities in response to 93 percent of government requests in the second half of 2011.  Nothing in Google's hands is guaranteed to remain private.

2. Anything you write in an e-mail can be used against you.

Nothing is private, especially not when it goes through Google (Gmail's) hands.  If America's top spy, the head of the CIA, can get caught writing secret love letters to his girlfriend on Gmail, nobody's e-mails are safe.  Petraeus and his clandestine girlfriend, Paula Broadwell, took some troubles to keep their illicit correspondence safe.  They reportedly relied on a trick used by some al Qaeda operatives.  They left messages to each other in the drafts folder of an account, the password to which they both knew, thinking they would remain for their eyes only.  But it didn't work.

Gen. Petraeus, the most celebrated military officer of his generation, is the most recent addition to the list.  We still don't know what's behind tens of thousands of pages of e-mails Gen. John Allen allegedly exchanged with a woman involved in the Petraeus scandal, and there's the curious case of the FBI agent who reportedly sent shirtless pictures of himself to that same woman.  We can't say yet which of these characters will join the melancholy list that includes John Edwards, Eliot Spitzer, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, Tiger Woods, Mark Sanford, Anthony Weiner, and on and on and on, each with an accompanying cast of heartbroken relatives.

(And, by the way, when a powerful man pays a high price for his indiscretions, prepare to see efforts to blame it all on the woman.  It's not surprising that the Petraeus case has included countless references to the clothing choices of the general's girlfriend, as if form-fitting outfits made it all seem logical and understandable.)

1. Powerful men, no matter how brilliant and accomplished, can suffer from a form of temporary insanity caused by the interaction of arrogance and libido.

Sadly, this is a lesson we see repeated time and time again, across national borders, destroying promising careers and even changing the course of history.  Nothing, it seems, not even the highest IQs, the most exclusive security clearances, or the tangible risk of losing it all for the sake of a tryst will stop certain men from pursuing an illicit relationship.  Yes, powerful women do it too, but the cases are rare.

On the other hand, the parade of men who have destroyed or very nearly killed their careers and their personal lives is endless.

5 things we've learned from Petraeus scandal

By Frida Ghitis
Special to CNN
November 15, 2012


The scandal involving General David Petraeus is an occasion to examine the way Washington and the media work, says Frida Ghitis.

(CNN) -- The increasingly convoluted scandal that led to the resignation of CIA Director David Petraeus has become an endless source of speculation, drama and surprising turns of events.  There is much we don't know, but a few important facts have emerged with sharp clarity.

It's not too early to learn the first few lessons from this continuing saga, which promises to deliver many more for weeks, probably months.  Here is some of what we have learned -- and relearned -- so far:

she was molested and there were witnesses?  wasn't the accuser the only one who was hired by the ambassador?  or was the ambassador that careless that he dared molest someone while there were onlookers?  i'm beginning to have my doubts about this yarn.  that panamanian diplomat wrongly accused of raping a local girl some months ago comes to mind.  i hope we're not about to witness the destruction of one more life because a young woman's imagination went berserk.

any guy who calls me hot must be stepping on live coals.  paslot.

both were intelligent.  both showed generosity. 

it was my father whose interests covered a wider range.  something in him wielded an aura of eccentricity. i enjoyed that. 

looking back, i realized that my mom was limited by her specialization.  yet she was the disciplinarian, the one who hardly went out to socialize, the one who held that unselfish dedication to her family that was beyond reproach.  she's mother and martyr, my brother used to say. 

both saw to it that we grew up aware of the primacy of religion in one's life.  they chose sectarian education for all of us-- the seminary for the boys, education by nuns for the girls.

we were not spared the rod.  but it was great growing up with books and music and endless discussions that went either way, in laughter or in tears. 

this is trite, but true-- it's because of them that my siblings and i have become what we are.  as it turned out, i like what i am.  by the grace of heaven, i thank them thus. 

just find a guy.  period.  whether he's a hero or a heel you'll soon find out anyway.
