(CNN) -- A day after his social media company went public, Facebook co-founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg married his longtime girlfriend Priscilla Chan on Saturday. The news was announced where else but on Facebook. "Mark added a life event to May 19, 2012 on his timeline: Married Priscilla Chan," the page's activity feed said. Zuckerberg, 28, posted a simple wedding photograph, showing the couple against a backdrop of plants and small lights on a string. Both he and Chan also updated their relationship status to "married." Facebook IPO opening How to explain the Facebook flop? Zuckerberg ditched his trademark hoodie, appearing in a dark suit and tie, while Chan wore a sleeveless white wedding dress with lace. The pair met during Zuckerberg's sophomore year at Harvard University, where he first nursed Facebook as a dorm-room project. Chan graduated this year from medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, according to her Facebook page. The marriage comes just one day after the company, based in California, made its market debut. Its initial public offering was the biggest opening ever for a tech company and the third-largest IPO in U.S. history, behind only Visa and General Motors.
During Columbus's lifetime, Jews became the target of fanatical religious persecution. On March 31, 1492, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella proclaimed that all Jews were to be expelled from Spain. The edict especially targeted the 800,000 Jews who had never converted, and gave them four months to pack up and get out. The Jews who were forced to renounce Judaism and embrace Catholicism were known as "Conversos," or converts. There were also those who feigned conversion, practicing Catholicism outwardly while covertly practicing Judaism, the so-called "Marranos," or swine. Tens of thousands of Marranos were tortured by the Spanish Inquisition. They were pressured to offer names of friends and family members, who were ultimately paraded in front of crowds, tied to stakes and burned alive. Their land and personal possessions were then divvied up by the church and crown. Recently, a number of Spanish scholars, such as Jose Erugo, Celso Garcia de la Riega, Otero Sanchez and Nicholas Dias Perez, have concluded that Columbus was a Marrano, whose survival depended upon the suppression of all evidence of his Jewish background in face of the brutal, systematic ethnic cleansing. Columbus, who was known in Spain as Cristóbal Colón and didn't speak Italian, signed his last will and testament on May 19, 1506, and made five curious -- and revealing -- provisions. Two of his wishes -- tithe one-tenth of his income to the poor and provide an anonymous dowry for poor girls -- are part of Jewish customs. He also decreed to give money to a Jew who lived at the entrance of the Lisbon Jewish Quarter. On those documents, Columbus used a triangular signature of dots and letters that resembled inscriptions found on gravestones of Jewish cemeteries in Spain. He ordered his heirs to use the signature in perpetuity. According to British historian Cecil Roth's "The History of the Marranos," the anagram was a cryptic substitute for the Kaddish, a prayer recited in the synagogue by mourners after the death of a close relative. Thus, Columbus's subterfuge allowed his sons to say Kaddish for their crypto-Jewish father when he died. Finally, Columbus left money to support the crusade he hoped his successors would take up to liberate the Holy Land. Estelle Irizarry, a linguistics professor at Georgetown University, has analyzed the language and syntax of hundreds of handwritten letters, diaries and documents of Columbus and concluded that the explorer's primary written and spoken language was Castilian Spanish. Irizarry explains that 15th-century Castilian Spanish was the "Yiddish" of Spanish Jewry, known as "Ladino." At the top left-hand corner of all but one of the 13 letters written by Columbus to his son Diego contained the handwritten Hebrew letters bet-hei, meaning b'ezrat Hashem (with God's help). Observant Jews have for centuries customarily added this blessing to their letters. No letters to outsiders bear this mark, and the one letter to Diego in which this was omitted was one meant for King Ferdinand. In Simon Weisenthal's book, "Sails of Hope," he argues that Columbus's voyage was motivated by a desire to find a safe haven for the Jews in light of their expulsion from Spain. Likewise, Carol Delaney, a cultural anthropologist at Stanford University, concludes that Columbus was a deeply religious man whose purpose was to sail to Asia to obtain gold in order to finance a crusade to take back Jerusalem and rebuild the Jews' holy Temple. In Columbus's day, Jews widely believed that Jerusalem had to be liberated and the Temple rebuilt for the Messiah to return. Scholars point to the date on which Columbus set sail as further evidence of his true motives. He was originally going to sail on August 2, 1492, a day that happened to coincide with the Jewish holiday of Tisha B'Av, marking the destruction of the First and Second Holy Temples of Jerusalem. Columbus postponed this original sail date by one day to avoid embarking on the holiday, which would have been considered by Jews to be an unlucky day to set sail. (Coincidentally or significantly, the day he set forth was the very day that Jews were, by law, given the choice of converting, leaving Spain, or being killed.) Columbus's voyage was not, as is commonly believed, funded by the deep pockets of Queen Isabella, but rather by two Jewish Conversos and another prominent Jew. Louis de Santangel and Gabriel Sanchez advanced an interest free loan of 17,000 ducats from their own pockets to help pay for the voyage, as did Don Isaac Abrabanel, rabbi and Jewish statesman. Indeed, the first two letters Columbus sent back from his journey were not to Ferdinand and Isabella, but to Santangel and Sanchez, thanking them for their support and telling them what he had found. The evidence seem to bear out a far more complicated picture of the man for whom our nation now celebrates a national holiday and has named its capital. As we witness bloodshed the world over in the name of religious freedom, it is valuable to take another look at the man who sailed the seas in search of such freedoms -- landing in a place that would eventually come to hold such an ideal at its very core.

But the stock quickly reversed course, dropping down to hover right around the $38 IPO price for much of midday trading. Though shares rose modestly for short bursts of time throughout the day, they ended the session at $38.23. While the price itself didn't move much, trading was fast and intense. More than 80 million shares changed hands in the first 30 seconds of trading. By the end of the day, volume had spiked to around 567 million shares. That easily set a new volume record for IPOs, smashing the previous record that automaker General Motors (GM, Fortune 500) set in 2010 with trading of around 450 million shares. Facebook's trading had been expected to start around 11 a.m. ET, but the opening was delayed. Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg rang the Nasdaq opening bell remotely, from the company's headquarters in California. Facebook celebrated its public debut by gathering its staff Thursday night for an all-night hackathon. At the $38 IPO price, Facebook is on track to raise $16 billion -- making it the largest tech IPO in history. It's the third largest U.S. IPO ever, trailing only the $19.7 billion raised by Visa (V, Fortune 500) in March 2008 and the $18.1 billion raised by automaker GM in November 2010, according to rankings by Thomson Reuters. Underwriters have the option to purchase an extra 63.2 million shares to cover any so-called over-allotments for excess demand. If that happens, Facebook will sell 484.4 million shares in total. That would bring the amount raised to $18.4 billion. How much Facebook is worth: At $38 per share, Facebook's market capitalization would be around $81 billion on IPO day. Many Facebook employees and executives hold unexercised stock options. If all of those shares were exercised, Facebook's outstanding share count would rise to around 2.8 billion -- pushing the company's total valuation closer to $107 billion. Among all global companies, Facebook has the third-highest IPO-day valuation in history, according to data from DealLogic. SecondMarket, an exchange on which people can buy and sell stock in private companies, posted data on Friday about Facebook's private-trading history. It wasn't until 2010 that SecondMarket's Facebook trades racked up significant volume, so Facebook's trades before that tended to be one-off deals at a low per-share price. In April 2010, Facebook fetched an average price of $9.82 per share on a monthly average basis. One year later, the rate jumped to $31.46. As of April 5, Facebook shares were trading for an average of $42.72 each -- nearly $4 higher than the IPO price. Who's selling shares: Zuckerberg plans to sell 30.2 million shares in the IPO offering. That will net Zuckerberg about $1.1 billion. But Zuckerberg won't be hanging on to his cash. Facebook said he will use the "substantial majority" of the windfall to cover the massive tax bill he'll be hit with, thanks to his plan to exercise a large stock-options grant that will increase his ownership stake in the company he founded. After the offering, Zuckerberg will still hold 503.6 million shares, or about 31% of the company. That stake is worth $19.1 billion at the IPO price. Venture capital firm Accel Partners, which is the largest shareholder outside of Zuckerberg, is selling 49 million shares in the offering. That's about a quarter of its Facebook holdings.
Chicago (CNN) -- World leaders huddling at the Group of Eight meeting on Saturday are "unified in their approach" to Iran's nuclear ambitions, President Barack Obama said in his opening remarks at Camp David. The leaders agree that Iran has the right to peaceful nuclear power, Obama said, but they harbored "grave concern" that over Iran's nuclear ambitions. He said the Iranian regime has not yet convinced the world community that it isn't pursuing a nuclear weapons program, a scenario that leaders staunchly oppose. A user's guide to the Chicago NATO summit The G8 -- comprised of the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, Italy, Canada and Russia -- are "firmly committed" to applying sanctions, pressure and diplomatic efforts to stop Iran from developing nuclear weaponry, Obama said. Who gets invited to NATO summits? "Our hope is that we can resolve this in a peaceful fashion," he said. The G8 meeting at Obama's Camp David retreat in Maryland began Friday, and is one of two high-stakes, back-to-back summits this weekend. On Sunday, NATO kicks off its two-day summit in Chicago. Protests are expected near the sites of both the G8 and NATO summits this weekend, and three people have been charged with planning violent attacks against the NATO summit in Chicago. Along with Iran, G8 members discussed a range of issues, including Syria, North Korea and Myanmar, also known as Burma, at a discussion on Friday. Obama said the group believes that a "peaceful resolution and a political transition is preferable" in Syria and the group said it is "deeply concerned about violence and loss of life." They support U.N. and Arab League envoy Kofi Annan's six-point peace plan to end the 14-month crisis in Syria, an initiative that calls for a cease-fire. Obama said the plan needs to be "fully implemented" and "the political process has to move forward in a more timely fashion to resolve that issue." While all of the nations back the Annan plan at the U.N. Security Council, there have been differences between Russia and China and other nations on how to tackle the crisis in Syria. The United States and other countries have urged Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to step aside and have initiated tough sanctions against the government. Russia and China's stated position is to call for an end to violence, but through diplomacy and negotiation, not official sanctions. There was agreement among the leaders that North Korea faces further isolation if it continues its pursuit of a nuclear program. Obama said all agree that North Korea "is violating international obligations." He said there's a path for North Korea "to rejoin the international community" but such an objective will fail if the reclusive nation continues with "provocative" acts. The president also said the leaders are hopeful that the dramatic political transition and process in Myanmar "take root." Obama said the world economy will be the focus of Saturday's discussions. The group is expected to debate on whether an economically weakened, debt-laden Europe should continue down the road of massive deficit cuts trumpeted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel or focus more on economic stimulus to help the continent grow its way out of the current crisis. Hanging over the deliberations is the fate of economically battered Greece, which has been unable to form an elected government. Many analysts believe that Athens will be forced to exit the eurozone shortly, dropping the euro currency and possibly further rattling economic confidence. They will also discuss uncertainty in the energy markets, and the economies and development in the Middle East, North Africa and Afghanistan, Obama said. Opinion: Why ordinary Afghans worry about NATO summit The fate of Greece was also front and center during a bilateral meeting Friday between Obama and newly elected French President Francois Hollande, who was elected on a platform opposing increasingly unpopular eurozone spending cuts. Obama, who is hosting the Camp David summit, said he and Hollande agreed the issue was of "extraordinary importance" to the world economy. Fear and confusion rule as Greece faces uncertain future "Greece must stay in the eurozone," Hollande insisted during his meeting with Obama. We all "must do what we can to that effect." On Sunday, the war in Afghanistan is expected to dominate discussions at the NATO summit. Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistani President Asif Zardari are both expected to attend the meeting. NATO's post-Afghanistan future unclear NATO leaders are currently on a timetable to withdraw all of the alliance's combat troops from Afghanistan in 2014. Senior administration officials tell CNN that NATO members have tentatively agreed on a security transition plan from NATO's International Security Assistance Force to the Afghan National Security Forces before 2014. The plan, which also lays out a NATO training and advisory role after 2014, is expected to be formally adopted at the summit. One of the key issues to be discussed in Chicago is who will pay to build up Afghan security forces during and after the NATO drawdown. Afghan national security forces should total around 350,000 by 2015, according to CNN National Security Analyst Peter Bergen. Karzai's government can afford to cover only a fraction of the cost, which is expected to total roughly $4 billion annually after 2014, Bergen notes. Non-U.S. ISAF countries are being asked to come up with $1.3 billion, the officials said. Another issue is Islamabad's continued blockade of much-needed NATO supplies over Pakistani roads to Afghanistan. Pakistan has kept its airspace open but closed its ground routes after the death of about two dozen Pakistani soldiers in November at the hands of NATO forces at a post on the Afghan-Pakistan border. NATO insists that the incident was an accident. Negotiations on the issue continue, the senior administration officials said. Obama officials are also pushing for more Pakistani involvement in peace talks with the Taliban. The United States also expects Hollande to announce the removal of French combat troops from Afghanistan -- a position he asserted during the presidential campaign. Ross Rice, an official with the Chicago FBI, said officials "expect the worst and hope for the best" over the weekend as the NATO summit approaches. That "is the way to characterize how the weekend plays out." The Cook County State's Attorney's Office has charged three out-of-state men for allegedly traveling to Chicago "to commit acts of domestic terrorism during the NATO Summit." CNN's Peter Bergen, Alan Silverleib, Elise Labott, Mike Mount and Ted Rowlands contributed to this report.
CAMP DAVID, Maryland (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama said on Saturday leaders of the Group of Eight major economies are committed to continuing the current approach of sanctions, pressure and diplomatic discussions with Iran over its nuclear program. "All of us are firmly committed to continuing with the approach of sanctions and pressure in combination with diplomatic discussions," he told reporters at the G8 meeting at the presidential retreat in Camp David. "And our hope is that we can resolve this issue in a peaceful fashion that respects Iran's sovereignty and its rights in the international community, but also recognizes its responsibilities," he said. A U.S. official said on Friday that the G8 leaders had agreed that Iran needs to disclose more about its nuclear ambitions. (Reporting by Jeff Mason; Editing by Jackie Frank)
HAVANA (AP) — An exploratory oil well off the northern coast of Cuba has proved a failure and will be capped and abandoned, Spanish company Repsol said Friday, a disappointment for a cash-strapped nation hoping for an economic lifeline. Trial and error is par for the course in oil exploration, however, and analysts said the news is far from a death blow to Cuba's petroleum dreams. Repsol SA is evaluating the data it collected since the Scarabeo-9 rig arrived off the coast of Havana in January after a months-long, round-the-world trek from construction sites in China and Singapore. The company has not yet decided whether to sink further wells in the area, spokesman Kristian Rix said. Rix said four of every five offshore wells come up dry, and it's too soon to determine whether other parts of Repsol's exploration block are commercially viable. "Mapping an (offshore) oil field is like trying to draw a map of a city when all you have is one in 10 lampposts working and a bit of a fog," Rix said by phone from Madrid. "It's very hard to do, so I can't draw any conclusions from one well about the whole rest of it. These are questions that geologists will have to answer." Nor does the failed well mean that the rest of Cuba's offshore exploratory area, which has been estimated to hold 5 billion to 9 billion barrels, is barren. "I think it's disappointing news, but in my opinion it doesn't mean that the whole of the Cuban north belt is not a geological zone that in the future could produce a substantial amount of hydrocarbons," said Jorge Pinon, former president of Amoco Oil Latin America and now an energy expert at the University of Texas. "It's disappointing, but it's not surprising," he added. The Cuban government did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The project has generated controversy in the United States, with concerns of a possible environmental disaster like the 2010 Macondo-Deepwater Horizon blowout and spill on the other side of the Gulf. Many feared it would be impossible for longtime foes in Washington and Havana to coordinate response and containment, threatening large stretches of coastline in Cuba, Florida and beyond. Repsol has sought to allay those fears by opening up the drill rig to U.S. inspectors, and by openly sharing data with both governments. Meanwhile Cuban-American politicians have criticized the Obama administration for not stopping the drilling altogether. The 50-year-old U.S. economic embargo already essentially bars American companies from doing oil business with Cuba and threatens sanctions against foreign companies if they don't follow its restrictions, but hard-liners say even tougher measures are needed to discourage firms like Repsol from teaming up with the Cubans. "The Obama Administration looked the other way as Repsol aided the Cuban tyranny's dangerous scheme to become the oil barons of the Caribbean," Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen said in a statement Friday. The sanctions have greatly complicated the drilling project, making it far more difficult to line up equipment and resources. The massive Scarabeo-9 platform had to be constructed in Asia with less than 10 percent U.S.-made parts to avoid violating the embargo. Cuba has been struggling to lift its weak economy out of the doldrums for years, and the prospect of oil riches is a major part of the country's master plan. A big find would also lessen Cuba's reliance on Venezuela, which gives Cuba $3 billion a year in oil subsidies, but whose leader is ailing with cancer. The failure of the well is also surely a letdown for Repsol, which has now come up empty in two Cuban wells drilled over the last decade. Repsol and its partners were leasing the rig for about a half-million dollars a day. Rix declined to say how much has been spent to carry out the exploration. Pinon said the typical cost of sinking a deep-water well in the Gulf of Mexico runs around $100 million to $150 million. Also weighing on the company's Cuba plans is its dispute with Argentina over that nation's takeover of Repsol's majority stake in oil and gas producer YPF, Pinon said. "You have to add the challenges that Repsol is having vis-a-vis YPF Argentina," he said. "Will the challenges that Repsol is going to have force them to focus more of their worldwide exploration into areas in which they know that there is a lower risk, for example the U.S. Gulf of Mexico?" Diplomats and industry sources say the Scarabeo-9 rig will be rented out next by Malaysian oil company Petronas for exploration north of Cuba's Pinar del Rio province, to the west of Havana. ___ Follow Peter Orsi on Twitter at www.twitter.com/Peter_Orsi .
(Reuters) - Angry Quebec student leaders on Friday vowed to fight a tough new law to quell 14 weeks of strikes against tuition hikes, threatening to escalate their protests into a broad campaign of civil disobedience. The Quebec government, seeking to end demonstrations it says could harm the economy, says anyone organizing a protest of more than 25 people must give police eight hours' advance notice, something critics see as an assault on civil liberties. The new law, due to be passed later on Friday, would also ban demonstrations near universities and colleges and impose large fines on those who disobey. "When laws become unjust sometimes you have to disobey them and we are thinking seriously about this possibility," Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, head of the militant CLASSE student group, told a news conference held jointly with major trade union leaders. Asked if he would be prepared to go to prison, he replied: "We'll see." The students, who pay some of the lowest tuition fees in North America, say the price hikes would leave them facing thousands of dollars in debt. They have clashed with police, blocked Montreal's main bridge and set off smoke bombs in the city's metro in a series of protests. About 155,000 students - more than a third of Quebec college and university students - are striking against plans to increase annual tuition fees by C$1,625 ($1,595) over the course of five years, a 75 percent hike. Headlines in two Quebec newspapers described the law as a "Declaration of war against the students" and "Law of the truncheon". The head of Quebec's bar association said the proposals would severely restrict basic constitutional rights. "One has the right to ask who would still dare go out and demonstrate," Louis Masson said in a statement. The government originally proposed that demonstrations of more than 10 people needed police permission, but it later raised the limit to 25. The unrest comes at a bad time for Quebec Liberal Premier Jean Charest, who is already under pressure over allegations of corruption and who must call an election by the end of 2013. Polls show the Liberals are trailing the separatist Parti Quebecois, which wants independence for the giant, predominantly French-speaking province of eight million people. In another sign of potential trouble for Charest, the heads of three powerful unions said they also oppose the law. "The Quebec government chose to use a club instead of dialogue and negotiations," said Michel Arsenault, head of the Quebec Workers Federation. "Quebec must not become a police state and that's what this law means." The Quebec legislature debated the proposed anti-strike legislation through the night. The Liberals have a narrow majority and are sure to win a vote on the bill. Officials say they are worried about the potential impact on tourism in Montreal, Quebec's largest city, and Finance Minister Raymond Bachand said some residents were afraid to travel downtown. "The right to go to see one's doctor, to go to a restaurant or go to work is also a fundamental right," he told RDI television. Public opinion is split between those who sympathize with the students and those who say their tactics cannot be justified. The Parti Quebecois, keen to benefit from the Liberal woes, strongly backs the students and says the government should be negotiating rather than trying to crack down. The proposed law - which the Liberals say would expire in July 2013 - would ban protests on or within 50 meters (yards) of the grounds of a university or college. Individuals breaking the law could be fined up to C$35,000 while student associations face penalties of up to C$125,000.

Home favourite Kim Bi-O stayed on course for back-to-back OneAsia titles by shooting a five-under-par 67 on Saturday to take a two-stroke lead into the final round of the SK Telecom Open. But Bi-O's 13-under-par total 203 around the tricky Pinx Golf Club track on the South Korean honeymoon island of Jeju was overshadowed by a blistering course-record 63 from compatriot Hur In-Hoi and a 66 by a teen amateur. Kim Si-Woo, 16, shared second place with fellow South Koreans Hur and Joo Heung-Choi going into the final round. Joint overnight leader Park Sang-Hyun was a stroke further back after shooting a 70, while Indonesia's Rory Hie -- who also had a share of the lead at the start of the day -- shot a level 72 to remain at eight under. Bi-O, a two-time winner on OneAsia after victories in the Nanshan China Masters last year and again last week at the GS Caltex Maekyung Open in Seoul, is currently in second place on the tour's Order of Merit. He took a grip on the tournament at the par-five ninth when he put his second shot to within six feet and converted for the only eagle there of the day, OneAsia said in a press release. "I was in that position once," laughed Bi-O when asked what advice he would have for the youngster Kim heading into the final round. "He mustn't get carried away," said Bi-O. "It is a great learning opportunity for him, but I am sure he will do very well." Kim Si-woo, clearly nervous in front of the Korean TV cameras after his round, nevertheless talked a brave game. "I want to be a professional one day, so it is better to learn sooner than later," he said. The round of the day belonged to Hur In-Hoi, who bettered the course record 64 set last year by a stroke. He started his round with four birdies and an eagle in the first five holes to make the turn in 30, before a more modest 33 on the back nine. K.J. Choi, with eight PGA tour wins arguably the best player Asia has produced, is 10 shots off the pace after going three under on Saturday. Leading scores: 203 - Kim Bi-O (KOR) 68-68-67 205 - Hur In-Hoi (KOR) 71-71-63, Joo Heung-Chol (KOR) 72-68-65, Kim Si-Woo (KOR) 69-70-66 206 - Park Sang-Hyun (KOR) 71-65-70 208 - Rory Hie (INA) 70-66-72 210 - Lee Sang-Hee (KOR) 72-71-67, Park Jun-Won (KOR) 70-70-70, Mark Brown (NZL) 72-66-72 211 - Kim Gi-Whan (KOR) 72-72-67, Simon Yates (SCO) 71-70-70, Ashley Hall (AUS) 71-70-70, Kim Meen-Whee (KOR) 73-68-70, Mo Joong-Kyung (KOR) 72-67-72
And you thought Octomom had her hands full—a Tennessee man who has fathered 30 children is asking the courts for a break on child support. Desmond Hatchett, 33, of Knoxville has children with 11 different women, reports WREG-TV. The state already takes half his paycheck and divides it up, which doesn't amount to much when Hatchett is making only minimum wage. Some of the moms receive as little as $1.49 a month. The oldest child is 14 years old. Hatchett explains how he reached such a critical mass: He had four kids in the same year. Twice. Back in 2009 when Hatchett was in court to answer charges that many of the mothers were not receiving child support, he had 21 children. At the time, he said he was not going to father any more kids, but he ended up having nine more in the past three years. The state cannot order Hatchett to stop making babies. He hasn't broken any laws, according to the report. More popular Yahoo!

The Carling Cup winners fired Kenny Dalglish as manager on Wednesday and have moved swiftly in an attempt to replace the Kop legend. Martinez, 38, kept Wigan in the Premier League once again with a game to spare following a 1-0 win at Blackburn which relegated Rovers. The Latics had looked dead and buried as recently as March, and Liverpool's US-based owners Fenway Sports Group feel the Spaniard is the man to take them forward after a disappointing 8th-placed finish, just nine points above Wigan. Wigan chairman Dave Whelan was believed to have advised Martinez, an early favourite to succeed Dalglish, to avoid taking the job at Merseyside if it were offered to him. But Whelan admitted to several news sources on Thursday that his team manager will enter negotiations to leave the DW. "It is true," Whelan told The Times. "I don't know the exact timescales of when he is due to meet with the Liverpool owners but I will never stand in Roberto's way." The 75-year-old still hopes Martínez will choose to stay with Wigan, and told Sky Sports: "When Liverpool sacked Kenny I thought that they would be knocking on the door, and sure enough they have. "Unfortunately in this day and age of clubs looking for new managers, they all have a list of three or four that they would like to sign and Roberto appears to be on every one of them, but I would love to keep him
New York (CNN) -- Mary Kennedy, the estranged wife of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., had been in the headlines for her alcohol and drug problems, but is remembered by relatives as a devoted mother and pioneer of "green" architecture. A dark-haired beauty, Mary Richardson met Robert F. Kennedy Jr. through her friendship with his sister Kerry Kennedy, a roommate from school. The couple married in a civil ceremony in 1994 when the designer was six months pregnant, according to the Westchester County Journal News in New York. One month before the wedding, Kennedy divorced his first wife, Emily Black, the mother of his two oldest children, the newspaper said. He and Mary Kennedy were together for 16 years before he filed for divorce two years ago, said her family attorney, Kerry A. Lawrence. The pair, who had four children together, were still married at the time of her death Wednesday at home in Westchester County. The 52-year-old died of asphyxiation due to hanging, said Donna Greene, a spokeswoman for the Westchester County medical examiner. Both sides of the family paid tribute to Mary Kennedy as a devoted mother. "It is with deep sadness that the family of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. mourns the loss of Mary Richardson Kennedy, wife and mother of their four beloved children. Mary inspired our family with her kindness, her love, her gentle soul and generous spirit," a statement by her husband's family said. Outside the home, Mary Kennedy made her mark as an architect who pushed the boundaries of eco-friendly design. She was "a tremendously gifted architect and a pioneer and relentless advocate of green design who enhanced her cutting edge, energy efficient creations with exquisite taste and style," her husband's family said. She also advocated finding a cure for food allergies and asthma and was a co-founder of the Food Allergy Initiative, the world's largest private source of funding for food allergy research, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s family said. Her own family paid tribute to "our beloved sister Mary, whose radiant and creative spirit will be sorely missed by those who loved her," including the four children she loved "without reservation." Mary Kennedy's death was the latest for a family that has seen its share of tragedy. "We know from a history of this family, it's very hard being a Kennedy, either being a blood Kennedy or being married to one," Laurence Leamer, a Kennedy biographer, said on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront." "The overwhelming celebrity, the attention, the obligations, the expectations that you're supposed to do something with your life. It's very, very hard." In 1968, Robert F. Kennedy Sr. was assassinated in California while making a run for the White House. His death came less than five years after his brother, President John F. Kennedy, also died at the hands of an assassin. More than three decades later, in 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr.; his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy; and his sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette, died when a plane he was piloting crashed in the waters off Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. David Kennedy died of a drug overdose in 1984, and Michael Kennedy was killed in a skiing accident in 1997. Both were sons of Robert F. Kennedy Sr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent environmental lawyer who is a professor at Pace Law School in White Plains, New York, is the third of 11 children born to Ethel and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. Details of the couple's private life were exposed after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filed for divorce from Mary Kennedy in Westchester County on May 12, 2010. The next evening, according to police records, police in Bedford, New York, responded to a 911 call. When police arrived at the Kennedy residence, they found the couple in an argument over taking their four children to a carnival at St. Patrick's School. According to a "domestic incident" report filed by the officer on the scene, "Mr. Kennedy stated that his wife was intoxicated and was acting irrational so he took the children to the carnival to remove them from the situation." No one was injured, the report said. Two days later, Mary Kennedy was arrested for driving while intoxicated. At the time, Bedford Police Lt. Jeff Dickans told CNN that a Bedford police officer saw Kennedy's 2004 Volvo swerving onto the curb of Greenwich Road in Bedford and asked her to pull over. Kennedy had slurred speech and a blood-alcohol content above 0.08%, the legal limit in New York. She was charged with driving while intoxicated. Lawrence, her family attorney, said the case resulted in a reduction to a violation, the criminal charge was dismissed, and her driver's license was suspended for 90 days. A second arrest occurred in August of the same year in the town of Pleasant Valley, in which she was charged with driving while impaired by prescription drugs, Lawrence said. Those charges were dismissed completely in July 2011 because all the drugs were prescribed and taken as her physician advised, the attorney said. As a designer, Mary Kennedy sought to advance environmental principles and green technologies. In a book titled "Kennedy Green House" that was co-authored by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., he describes how he and his wife restored their flooded, black-mold-infested home, transforming it into an eco-friendly residence. A website devoted to the project describes how it focused "on maximum energy and water efficiency and improved indoor air quality to benefit the future of our planet and health of our children." In the book, her husband wrote that she had worked for the design firm Parish-Hadley and worked on the renovation of the Naval Observatory in Washington, the official residence of the U.S. vice president. CNN's Nina Ibarra contributed to this report.
Elin Nordegren From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Elin Nordegren Visiting a U.S. warship in 2003 Born Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren January 1, 1980 (age 32) Stockholm, Sweden Residence Windermere, Florida Occupation Model, au pair, clerk Spouse Tiger Woods (m. 2004–2010) Children Sam Alexis Woods (b. 2007) Charlie Axel Woods (b. 2009) Parents Thomas Nordegren, Barbro Holmberg Relatives Axel Nordegren (brother) Josefin Lonnborg[1] (twin sister) Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈeːlɪn ˈnɔɖəɡreːn]; born January 1, 1980) is a former Swedish model and the ex-wife of professional golfer Tiger Woods.[2] Contents [hide] 1 Early life 2 Marriage to Tiger Woods 3 Education 4 References 5 External links [edit]Early life Nordegren was born in Stockholm, Sweden. Her mother, Barbro Holmberg, is a politician and the former Swedish migration and asylum policy minister, and the current Governor of Gävleborg County. Her father, Thomas Nordegren, is a radio janitor who served as a bureau chief in Washington, D.C.[2] She has an older brother, Axel, and a twin sister, Josefin.[3] Nordegren and her sister worked odd summer jobs and as cashiers in supermarkets to finance their studies.[4] She started modeling in 2000, and appeared on the cover of Cafe Sport magazine in the summer of 2000. [edit]Marriage to Tiger Woods Nordegren took a job in a Stockholm clothing store called Champagne, where she met Mia Parnevik, wife of Swedish golfer Jesper Parnevik, who hired Nordegren as the nanny to their children, a job that required her to move to the U.S.[5] He introduced her to Woods during the 2001 Open Championship. Parnevik also is being quoted as having said, "I'm kind of filled with sorrow for Elin since me and my wife are at fault for hooking her up with him, and we probably thought he was a better guy than he is." [People Magazine] Previously, Woods had asked for a year to be introduced to Nordegren, who was seeing someone else at the time. "She had no interest in Tiger and he was OK with that," Mia Parnevik said. "There was a big line of single golfers wanting to meet her. They were gaga over her."[6] She had hopes at the time of becoming a child psychiatrist. In November 2003, Woods and Nordegren attended the Presidents Cup tournament in South Africa and became officially engaged when Woods proposed at the luxury Shamwari Game Reserve. They were married in October 2004, by the 19th hole of the Sandy Lane resort in Barbados. The 150 guests included Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley. Woods rented the entire complex for a week, including three golf courses and 110 rooms, costing almost $2 million.[7] Shortly after Nordegren's relationship with Woods became public, nude photographs purporting to be of Nordegren began circulating on the Internet, which were established to be fakes.[8][9] Despite the debunking, in 2006, Irish magazine The Dubliner published the nude photographs and stated they were of Nordegren.[10][11] On November 16, 2006, Nordegren filed a libel suit against The Dubliner.[12] Nordegren won the lawsuit, and as part of the settlement accepted by a Dublin court, The Dubliner was required to publish a lengthy apology in a variety of venues. Were the magazine to have failed to meet the conditions, the award would have been increased to $366,500 plus all of Nordegren's legal expenses.[12][13] On June 18, 2007, Woods announced the birth of the couple's daughter, Sam Alexis Woods, a day after finishing second in the U.S. Open.[14] On September 2, 2008, Woods announced they were expecting another child in late winter.[15] Five months later it was announced that Nordegren had given birth to a boy, Charlie Axel, on February 8, 2009.[16] In December 2009, her marriage to Woods was the subject of extensive media coverage after Woods admitted to infidelity, which had been revealed following his single-vehicle accident near the family's Florida home.[17] Woods subsequently announced he would take an "indefinite break" from golf to work on his marriage.[17] These efforts were unsuccessful, however, as Nordegren and Woods finalized their divorce in the Bay County Circuit Court in Panama City, Florida, on August 23, 2010.[18] Nordegren's legal team included her sister, Josefin (who is licensed to practice law in England and Sweden) and several of Josefin's U.S. colleagues at international law firm McGuireWoods.[19] Using the $100 million she received from her divorce with Tiger Woods, she purchased a $12 million mansion in Florida. After contacting an architect about bringing the home, built in the 1920s, up to current hurricane safety codes, it was in his opinion that it would make better sense to start over, so she had the entire structure demolished. Before demolishing the home in December 2011, she allowed Habitat for Humanity to come into the home for four weeks and salvage anything they found of value. During their salvage efforts, workers found extensive termite and insect damage in six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and other areas in the two-story home.[20] Many valuable contents of the estate went on the auction block at a Habitat for Humanity warehouse. Among the items donated to Habitat were a 12-foot fountain with water spouting out of three lion’s mouths, five subzero refrigerators, 14 vanities, temperature-controlled wine coolers, as well as other furniture. [21] [edit]Education Nordegren has been enrolled part-time as a student at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida, where she is studying psychology
Elin Nordegren, Tiger Woods’ ex-wife, is single again. Apparently, Elin has been single for months, having broken up with her boyfriend back in January. Nordegren, who lives with her two children in North Palm Beach, Fla., is a part-time college student working on her psychology degree while overseeing construction of a new ocean-front home for her family. You may remember Elin tore down a $12 million home so she could oversee the construction of a new home. She’s doing that with the $100 million she took from Tiger in their divorce. You have to appreciate her going back to school. Any guy in her classes who is not hitting on her like Steve Urkel going after Laura Winslow is doing it wrong. [People]
NEW YORK (Reuters) - With the meteoric jump in shares of Apple Inc and turmoil in the bank sector garnering the spotlight in recent months, one group managed to fly under the radar despite strong gains - retailers. Since hitting a 13-month low in early October and flirting with bear market territory, the S&P 500 <.SPX> has risen 17.2 percent. During the same time frame the S&P retail index <.RLX> has climbed 22.6 percent. The gains were supported by a confluence of events: improvement in the domestic economy, a mild U.S. winter and a form of economic Darwinism that left stronger retailers intact after the recession. The mild winter may have helped retailers in the first quarter, but may work against them in the second quarter, if consumers who spent more than they anticipated are forced to pull back. Sales at U.S. retailers barely grew in April, indicating consumer spending may be losing steam. Home Depot , the world's biggest home improvement chain, for one, said this week that growth slowed in April after the warm winter boosted spending. "I can't definitively say that I am worried that the weather pulled ahead the spending, but the weather has gotten them up and out shopping, so I don't know if this is going to continue forever," said Kim Forrest, senior equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh. The latest monthly same-store sales results would seem to bear that out, with several large retailers missing expectations for April. Data for March showed consumer spending rose only 0.1 percent when adjusted for inflation, even though income rose the most in three months, indicating consumers were putting away more of their cash. "The thing that really jumped out on me on the personal income was the income growth had slowed on a year-over-year basis for four straight months - so I wasn't excited about seeing that," said Scott Armiger, portfolio manager at Christiana Trust in Greenville, Delaware. The recent strong performance of shares of discount retailers Family Dollar Stores Inc , Dollar General Corp and Dollar Tree Inc , which performed well during the recession when shoppers hunted for bargains, is another sign investors are shifting their portfolios ahead of the slower summer months. Since March 31, as the S&P 500 has weakened, those discounters have done well. The S&P is down 6.6 percent in that time, but Dollar General shares have risen 0.5 percent, Dollar Tree has climbed 2.8 percent and Family Dollar is up 3.1 percent. Shares of Wal-Mart Stores Inc , the world's biggest retailer, were up 5 percent on Thursday after it reported strong quarterly results, including a rise in U.S. same-store sales. The recession also forced retailers to sharpen business practices, with weaker players either falling by the wayside through bankruptcy or being gobbled up through acquisitions, with the bankruptcy of electronics retailer Circuit City perhaps being the most notable. More recently on the M&A front, Bed Bath & Beyond Inc agreed to acquire smaller competitor Cost Plus Inc . GAS PRICES FALL Should the recent economic slowing prove to be more a blip on the radar than the start of a trend, investors may be able to take advantage. The recent decline in gas prices gives consumers more disposable income, which may help retailers during their leaner sales periods. "If we get any kind of pop, any kind of economic growth or some help for the consumers - a nice drop in gas prices - they will do very well," said Armiger. An economic improvement in the back half of the year would also dovetail with the two biggest selling periods for retailers - the back-to-school and Christmas holiday seasons. "Do I think the consumer is going to roll over and die forever? No," said Phil Orlando, chief equity market strategist at Federated Investors in New York. (Editing by Leslie Adler)
