Yao Yao Taiwan, Recently as I was watching Taiwanese variety show, I realised that Yao Yao has been participating a great deal and is getting really popular. However, I was not unaware how Yao Yao gained her popularity. Apart from having a very pretty and angel looking face and an exceptionally figure. She is currently 18 years old high school student and the proud owner of her pair of 33F breasts.

Her sensational figure had made headlines in the Taiwanese news and brought great sensation to the online game that she is the ambassador of. Yao Yao has quickly attained sex-goddess status in Taiwan’s ‘otaku community’ and has even been dubbed a “big-breasted bodacious baby face”, an epithet used in Japan typically to describe porn stars. It has also alerted the Taiwan authority that using of sexy models to promote online cyber games may be harmful in one way or another which had caused some of such advertisements to be banned as they were deemed not appropriate.

Global Stocks Pull Back From 6-Week Highs,Euro Slips

LONDON: European stocks eased lower Tuesday and Asia closed flat, as investors stepped back to assess the pace of the global economic recovery in the wake of last week’s strong U.S. jobs data and the debt crisis in Greece.
Britain’s FTSE 100 benchmark index was down 0.4 percent at 5,584.32 while Germany’s DAX was 0.3 percent lower at 5,856.79. France’s CAC-40 shed 0.3 percent to 3,892.31.
Asian indexes were little changed, with Tokyo closing down but Chinese benchmarks edging up, and Wall Street was expected to fall on the open. Dow industrials futures were down 22 points at 10,516.00 and Standard & Poor’s 500 futures were down 4.1 points at 1,133.00.
A few earnings reports mostly disappointed in Europe. Defence and aerospace company EADS NV reported that spiraling costs on its military transport plane and its A380 superjumbo led to losses in the fourth quarter and full year. Its shares fell 5.3 percent to €15.04 ($20.55) in Paris morning trade.
Financial shares were somewhat weaker after Moody’s credit ratings agency said the withdrawal of stimulus measures would leave some banks in Britain fragile. Barclays was down 1.1 percent and Royal Bank of Scotland was down 2.1 percent. Lower commodity prices, meanwhile, weighed on mining stocks.
Trading was subdued, however, as investors took stock of recent swings in sentiment.
“The market seems to be in the mood to take a breather at the moment with little appetite for the choppiness and volatility witnessed over the past week,” said Stuart Bennett, forex analyst at Credit Agricole CIB.
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou was due to meet President Barack Obama later Tuesday to discuss stricter regulations on hedge funds and currency traders that Athens believes aggravated their crisis. Shares of MAN Group, the world’s largest publicly traded hedge fund, were down 2.5 percent in London.
Pledges of support for Greece from France and Germany over the weekend lacked concrete details, and investors will keep an eye on the country’s financial markets — particularly the rate at which is can raise money on capital markets — for signs that confidence in being restored.
Greece last week raised €5 billion ($6.83 billion) in a 10-year bond sale, but the 6.25 percent rate it paid is still considered too high. The country would like to borrow at more moderate rates.
To avoid future fiscal crises, France and Germany have floated the idea of creating a European monetary fund which would have the authority to enforce budget cuts and offer funds to countries facing debt trouble. Such a fund, however, would not be of help to Greece now as it would take months to agree.
In Asia, markets were cautious ahead of key reports on the region’s two biggest economies, China and Japan, that are due Wednesday. The strength of Chinese trade data could give investors a better sense of when and how Beijing will wean the country off its economy-boosting measures. A report on Japanese machinery orders, a key gauge of company spending, could provide more insight into the state of global trade and the world’s second-largest economy.
Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 stock average fell 18.27 points, or 0.2 percent, 10,567.65. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng added 0.1 percent to 21,207.55 and South Korea’s main benchmark edged up 0.1 percent to 1,660.83.
Shanghai’s market climbed 0.5 percent, while markets in Australia, Taiwan and Singapore rose as well. India’s market was down.
Oil prices slipped to near $81 a barrel, losing momentum after a monthlong run-up fueled by growing investor optimism about global economic growth. Benchmark crude for April delivery was down 84 cents to $81.03 a barrel after adding 37 cents overnight.
The dollar was lower at 89.76 yen from 90.28 yen and the euro weakened to $1.3590 from $1.3631.

Hollywood Siren Megan Fox Does Not Wearing Like Rihanna

Hollywood siren Megan Fox does not like wearing attention-seeking clothes while going out as she hates people recognising her.
The Transformers beauty, who is regarded as one of the world’s sexiest women insists she can’t don “interesting” outfits, Contactmusic reported.
“If you wear anything interesting, you become instantly noticeable. I have this gorgeous Dolce and Gabbana white trench coat for winter, but I can’t wear it without drawing attention to myself. And I try to hide. I want to be unseen,” Fox said.
The 23-year-old star admits that she is a big fan of singer of Rated-R superstar Rihanna but could not dare to dress-up like that.
“It would be nice to be like Rihanna and go to Burger King in six-inch heels and a mini-dress. It’s admirable. But I don’t have the motivation. I have lots of casual clothes and one side of my wardrobe is oddly grown up: pencil skirts and Prada turtlenecks for when, once in a while, I feel like going in that direction,” Fox said.

New Movie Thanks Maa

Story: Muncipalty Ghatkopar, a street kid in Mumbai, finds a two-month baby abandoned on the steps of a children’s home. He begins a hunt for the infant’s mother because he does not want him to grow up motherless like him. His friends, other street kids, help him in this towering mission.
Movie Review: It is important to point out one fact that might help you view Thanks Maa with a totally different perspective. Irfan Kamal’s film on slummy street kids was first screened at the International Film Festival at Goa in 2008. Which means, it was made before Slumdog Millionaire, the film that swept the world with its take on Indian kids who survive and succeed despite the mean streets of Mumbai.
But no, it did not have the backing of Hollywood, the roar of the Oscars, the international marketing blitzkrieg…hence it’s relative obscurity and its delay in the release which unfortunately, for no fault of its own, might just give it a has-been feel. But don’t let the strange marketing logic of unconventional Indian cinema beguile you, because Thanks Maa is a film that will make you cry and laugh, even as it fills you with admiration and warmth for the next decrepit kid you see on the red light, running nose et al.
What strikes you at the onset is the authenticity of the film. Having used a sterling cast of kids literally drawn from the underbelly of Mumbai, the film anchors their story too in the grime and dust of the megapolis that seems to be brimming over with jagged and broken souls. So, you have our heroes — the bunch of street kids — living off the local train stations, picking pockets, polishing shoes and sharing their booty on an abandoned terrace before retiring for the night at home: a dilapidated car in a junk yard.
It’s here that young Muncipalty (Shams) brings his foundling and tries to hide him from the tough cops with the help of his buddies, Dedh Shana, Cutting, Sursuri and Soda. His objective is to re-unite the baby with the mother who abandoned him. Indeed, a journey that takes him through the dregs of the city and has him meeting pimps, hookers, incestuous dads, adulterous husbands (Ranvir Shorey), drug addicts doubling over as cabbies (Sanjay Mishra), models who abandon illegitimate kids (Rukhsar), distraught mothers, paedophile caretakers (Alok Nath) of juvenile homes or what you will….All this without losing their basic goodness and innocence. For despite drawing out the devilish map of uncaring Mumbai, the director manages to retain the humaneness of the story by showcasing his protagonists as little heroes, standing up for the good and the right.
Watch out for the kids. They leave you spellbound with their guttural, gutsy act. Surprisingly, and thankfully, the Censor Board has displayed a sense of maturity too by letting them speak in hardcore street lingo (read abusive). The film, ostensibly inspired by Tsotsi, Gavin Hood’s film that won the Oscar, does get a bit long-winded in the second half and the climax might seem schmaltzy, but these are forgivable in view of the sledgehammer impact of the film. It fills you with a yearning to do something, anything….

Inglourious Basterds” actress Diane Kruger won’t marry again until she is 50.
The 33-year-old who is dating former “Dawson’s Creek” star Joshua Jackson was previously married to Guillaume Canet for five years and says the end of their union taught her that getting wed isn’t necessarily meaningful for a successful relationship, reports contactmusic.
“I don’t think I’ll marry again. Because I’ve realised commitment is important and no matter what paper you’re going to sign, if that commitment ceases to be there, you’ll get out of the marriage anyway. You know, I might get married at 50 or 60, when it actually means something to say ‘for the rest of my life’,” she said.
Despite dating Jackson for almost four years, Diane admits they have never really discussed his views on marriage.

Follow Through by Gavin deGraw
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don’t you agree?
I, haven’t felt like this in so many moons
You know what I mean
And we can build through this destruction
As we are standing on our feet
So, since you wanna be with me
You’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
you to stick around
I’ll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive
They keep me in tune
Oh, look what I‘m holding here in my fire
This is for you
Am I too obvious to preach it
You’re so hypnotic on my heart
So, since you wanna be with me
You’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
you to stick around
I’ll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
The words you say to me are unlike anything
That’s ever been said
oh what you do to me is unlike anything
That’s ever been
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You’re so hypnotic on my heart
So since you wanna be with me
You’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
you to stick around
I’ll see you everyday
So since you wanna be with me
You’ll have to follow through
With every word you say
And I, all I really want is you
you to stick around
I’ll see you everyday
But you have to follow through
You have to follow through
You’re gonna have to follow
Oh, this is the start of something good
Don’t you agree?

Nigeria Violence: Ban Appeals Restraint
March 9, 2010 by Tariq
Filed under World News
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon expressed grave concerns about the ethnic and religious violence in Nigeria where hundreds of people were murdered over the weekend.
‘I am deeply concerned that there has been more inter-religious violence with an appalling loss of life,” Ban told reporters. “I appeal to all concerned to exercise maximum restraint’. In recent years, fierce competition for control of fertile farmland and other resources between indigenous Christian groups and Muslim settlers from the north have repeatedly triggered conflicts and clashes. Since 2001, more than 2,000 people have been killed in communal violence in Plateau State.
‘Nigeria’s political and religious leaders should work together to address the underlining causes and achieve a common solution to the crisis’, said Ban.

Chairman Pakistan cricket Board (PCB) Ijaz Butt has said that the services of players like Waqar Younis, Wasim Akram and Ijaz Ahmed are being utilized after clearance and recovery of fines.
Defending Waqar Younis’s appointment as Pakistan coach, despite allegations of match fixing against him, the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ijaz Butt said all those fined on the basis of Justice Malik Qayyum’s inquiry report 10 years ago have been cleared for national duties now.
The Qayyum commission also recommended life bans on former captain Salim Malik and pace bowler Ataur Rehman. Butt disclosed that Waqar would be paid around $7,650 monthly salary besides other perks. ‘We think that is a reasonable amount we are paying for his services since former Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer was paid around Rs1.7 million a month by the Board’, Butt added.
