The song name is “Stop & Stare“. This song was by from One Republic.”Stop and Stare” has become the band’s second top twenty hit in the U.S., so far reaching #12 on the Hot 100 and #9 on the Pop 100, but getting as high as #6 on the US Airplay chart. Its video has also reached #1 on the VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown. I like this song so much. Because this song touched me. It always told me “Don’t stop. Don’t give up!. Just keep walking”. This music is so interesting. Hope you will like it!
Tiger Woods acknowledged Monday that even though he has not played a full 18 holes since his arthroscopic knee surgery on April 15. He said that he may not be 100% when the major tournament rolls around, but he will play in the tourney. He feels that his rehabilitation is progressing well and he will increase his practice workload this week.
Woods is a six-time winner of the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines, where the US Open will be held. He does know that the course will play much different for a US Open tourney. Traditionally, the the fairways are much firmer and faster, and he expects the ball to run out on the fairways.

2. Other Tips For Great Presentations
Stick to keywords on your Mind Maps, and let your speech flow from there.
Think of your audience as your friends – they all want you to do your best.
Keep an expanded awareness of the state of the listeners in the room.
Tell stories – start early in your presentation, but don’t finish the stories until right at the end – this will keep people interested in the whole presentation.
Have your projections and visual aids to the left side from the audience perspective – they will remember it better there.
Think what emotional states you want people in at different stages of your presentation, and design your content and presentation style to invoke those states in your audience.
Remember that you will have people who learn differently in your audience – make sure you cater for:
Visual learners – by showing them things, and allowing them to “see” the “clear” benefits which they can “picture” and “imagine”. You are in a position to “show” them the way things are so they can “watch” and “see” the results.
Auditory learners – by telling them things that they can “tune in” to, “harmonize” with and “listen to”. Check in to see that you say “rings true” and “sounds good” to them. Make your message “clear as a bell”, and ask them to “hear you out” and “listen to this”.
Kinesthetic learners – by allowing them to “grasp” the ideas and really “come to grips” with your message. You can “lay all the cards on the table” so they can “get the drift” of what you are saying.
Make sure you structure your presentation so that you cover the areas of:
Why they need to know this information.
What the information is
How it all works
What if the situation changes, or certain things happen etc.
Keep questions until you get to the “What if” section of the presentation to make sure the message is covered and there are no interruptions to the flow, but also so that people know that there is going to be an opportunity for them to get their questions answered.
Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, couldn’t help himself when he stood on the House floor supporting a resolution that renames a museum in Paducah, Ky., the National Quilt Museum of the United States. “It is a designation that brings us all a great deal of warmth and comfort and helps tie together the loose ends of our society,” Bishop deadpanned. “I am grateful this resolution has been brought to the floor so that we can finally put this to bed.” Very, um, punny. The price of numismatics Bishop also came to the defense of coin collectors everywhere in urging for the passage of a bill that would allow for limited production of the Sacagawea dollar coin. A mistake in legislation last year accidentally halted production of the coins, which are rather unpopular with the public but apparently important to collectors. The bill whizzed through Congress and will not add anything to the national debt. As Bishop put it: “It does not cost the taxpayers a dime, or in this case, it doesn’t cost them a dollar.” Hatch: McCain temper ‘awful’ The Democratic National Committee touted a report about Sen.

John Kerry in the 2004 election. The DNC wants voters to remember past McCain temper tantrums, which Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, says happen on occasion. Hatch was quoted by The Associated Press in 1999 saying his Senate colleague, “is a passionate person and he does have a temper and sometimes it’s awful to be on the wrong side of it.” Spoken like one who knows. Moving on up Bishop and Sen. Bob Bennett recently got plumb assignments from leadership of their respective chambers. Bishop was named to the House Page Board, which overseas the congressional page program in which high school students come to Washington to serve as gofers for members while learning about the democratic process. The board is charged with protecting the pages, including from the members themselves. Bennett, meanwhile, will serve on the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, where he will be part of the planning for the next president’s formal swearing in. Senator, for the record, we’d love a speaking part, if possible. I’m glad no one . . . shot me Sen. Bob Bennett suggested in the wake of the nation’s largest beef recall that slaughterhouses may want to install a camera in the “chute” between where a veterinarian checks to make sure cattle are healthy before they are turned into hamburgers and steaks and pot roasts. A camera in the chute, Bennett said during a subcommittee hearing last week, could provide a record of whether a cow that stumbled or fell after being initially checked out was rechecked to ensure against diseases.” “This is a virtual chute rather than a – I don’t know what else to call it, because I’m not in the business,” Bennett said in explaining why a camera could be helpful. “But [the cow] goes down the chute and if he stumbles and falls down, that’s not necessarily an indication that he’s sick. He may have just stumbled. I have stumbled and fallen down in front of the Capitol myself and I’m glad no one took me out and shot me.” No, that would be a pretty serious felony. We also doubt Bennett burgers would be a hit. Too lean.

Hong Kong singer and actor Edison Chen said on Thursday he would step away from the Hong Kong entertainment industry to “heal himself”, in his first public appearance since a sex scandal broke.
Hong Kong police said some 1,300 private shots of Chen in bed with at least half a dozen female celebrities had been copied by the staff of a computer repair shop from a faulty laptop believed to belong to Chen, sparking off a media frenzy.
The Canada-born Chen, a hip hop artist and Asian film star who has appeared in films such as Infernal Affairs, the Hong Kong triad film which inspired Martin Scorsese’s Oscar-winning film “The Departed”, admitted for the first time that most of the pictures circulating on the Internet had been taken by him.
“These photos were very private and have not been shown to people and were never intended to be shown to anyone,” the 27-year-old said in a calm voice amid a flood of camera flashes from the hundreds of reporters gathered.
“I have failed as a role model. However I wish that this matter will teach everyone a lesson.”
He said in a brief statement he would fulfil existing commitments before stepping down “indefinitely”. He added that he would dedicate himself to charity and community work.
“I’ve decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and to search my soul.”
Hong Kong police have so far made 10 arrests in connection with the scandal.
This vacation, is very boring. I didn’t go to anywhere. But, I went to family reunion and had a big dinner. It was delicious. Hope you can come with us!
