Kaley Cuoco shills for Dish, as her network sues them (Exclusive)

NEW YORK (TheWrap.com) - Never accuse "The Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco of toeing the CBS company line.

Even as CBS is suing Dish over a feature in its Hopper service, the actress tweeted a paid endorsement for the satellite TV provider on Wednesday. CBS, ABC, Fox and NBC are locked in litigation with Dish over the Hopper's "Auto Hop" feature, which allows people to watch previously aired primetime shows - like "The Big Bang Theory" - without commercials.

Cuoco tweeted an ad for the Hopper that does not mention Auto Hop. Rather, it features friends watching TV on a tiny phone as they drink tiny beers, and notes that the Hopper allows people to watch their favorite programs on tablets and phones.

"Amazing! Watching live TV anywhere on the #Hopper looks pretty awesome! Now where can I find a tiny beer? #ad" Cuoco tweeted to her more than 1.2 million followers, with a link to the ad.

The tweet was removed from Cuoco's feed after TheWrap inquired about it.

Cuoco's representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment Wednesday. CBS and Warner Bros. TV, which produces "The Big Bang Theory" for the network and employs Cuoco, declined to comment.

Dish is known for its bare-knuckle negotiating and for getting under the skin of networks with which it has conflicts. Recruiting Cuoco, the star of one of CBS's top shows, would seem an ideal way to rankle CBS.

The networks say Dish's ad-skipping technology poses a serious threat to the ad-supported programming model that allows shows like "The Big Bang Theory" to exist. Last May, before networks sued to stop Auto Hop, CBS CEO Les Moonves told TheWrap that he considers the service "illegal."

Cuoco is one of many celebrities - and others with lots of followers - who have found that they can make some extra money from the burgeoning field of Twitter endorsements. She is one of many who tweeted the Dish ad for money.

Dish told TheWrap that it reached out to Cuoco because of her appeal and influence - just as it has with other paid endorsers.

"We've reached out to several different celebrities and those with influence for sponsored tweets and so I think she's one of many folks," Dish spokesman John Hall told TheWrap. "Our goal is to introduce our products and services to consumers. We find people that consumers are paying attention to."

The actress also appeared in a Super Bowl ad for Toyota, and last month joined William Shatner for a series of Priceline ads.

Video: Man rescues dog from block of floating ice

Pifas, a three-year-old golden retriever mix, was rescued by a kind stranger who helped guide the dog to safety after it became stranded on a block of ice in a frozen lake.

NBCNews.com reports that Pifas disappeared from his owner?s home and was missing for over a week before he was spotted some 200 feet from shore on Lake Michigan by local resident Dave Kehnast.

?I was up on the fire escape there on the seventh floor and I saw him way out there, and so I grabbed the kayak and went out there,? Kehnast said.

When Kehnast realized the dog was not able to get back to shore on his own, he donned a wetsuit, got into a kayak and headed out to save the starving and confused dog, according to Opposing View.

Pifas? owner, Nerijus Steponavicius, said the dog had gotten out while his landlord was changing locks on the doors to his apartment building while Steponavicius was at school for the day.

Kehnast says Pifas was too afraid and confused to be picked up. Instead, Kehnast had to yell commands and encouragement to the dog to help guide him back to shore.

?I just kept encouraging him, ?here boy, here boy, here boy,?? Kehnast told Opposing Views. ?I got really close to him and he wanted to bite me so I just stayed on me and at that point I could get into the water and just hustled him along. I wanted to just grab him because it was shallow enough where I could stand, and I just wanted to get my hands on him but he wanted to bite me, it looked like. He didn?t want anyone touching him.?

The Chicago Fire Department also assisted, flying in a helicopter to help drive Pifas closer to shore.

After Pifas made it back to shore, he was taken to a nearby veterinary clinic for recovery and monitoring. He was reunited with Steponavicius, who reportedly learned of his dog?s rescue after family members alerted him to stories appearing on the news.

"He's really shy and he started jumping," Steponavicius said.

Of course, it was not an entirely happy ending for the adventurous golden retriever. Officials said Pifas had to be neutered before they agreed to turn him back over to his owner.

Adele makes James Bond, Oscar history

By Randee Dawn, TODAY contributor

Adele's big win at Sunday night's Oscars means the James Bond folks can end their 50-year wait for an Academy Award in a category other than sound or special effects. Singer Adele and co-writer Paul Epworth's win for "Skyfall" landed them a spot in Oscar and James Bond history, with the first-ever best original song for a Bond film.

Over the years, only three other songs from James Bond films have been nominated:

  • ?Live and Let Die,? sung by Paul McCartney and written by the former Beatle and his wife Linda McCartney (1974)
  • ?Nobody Does It Better,? sung by Carly Simon and written by Marvin Hamlisch and Carole Bayer Sager (1978)
  • ?For Your Eyes Only,? sung by Sheena Easton and written by Bill Conti and Mick Leeson (1982)

In addition, many other films have had notable tunes that deserved their own moment in the spotlight. What other Bond tune do you think deserved a win? Let us know in the poll, and on Facebook!

San Diego mayor eyes 2024 Olympic Games

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- San Diego Mayor Bob Filner wants to join with Tijuana, Mexico, to bid on the 2024 Olympic Games.

Filner announced his intentions Friday at a ceremony in Tijuana. Tijuana Mayor Carlos Bustamante, who leaves office in December, says he likes the idea.

The cross-border area of more than 4 million people seems like a long shot for the summer games. The NFL's San Diego Chargers have considered leaving Qualcomm Stadium. It often takes more than two hours to enter the U.S. from Mexico by car.

But San Diego's new mayor says the two cities can bid competitively. Filner says the bid would force the cities to work more closely together to address infrastructure needs.

Ex-Canada ambassador slighted by Affleck's 'Argo'

TORONTO: The Canadian former ambassador to Iran who protected Americans at great personal risk during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis says it will reflect poorly on Ben Affleck if he doesn't say a few words about Canada's role if the director's film "Argo" wins the Oscar for best picture Sunday.

But Ken Taylor - who said he feels slighted by the movie because it makes Canada look like a meek observer to CIA heroics in the rescue of six U.S. citizens caught in the crisis - is not expecting it.

"I would hope he would. If he doesn't than it's a further reflection," Taylor said. "But given the events of the last while I'm not necessarily anticipating anything."

Taylor kept the Americans hidden at the embassy in Tehran and facilitated their escape by getting fake passports and plane tickets for them. He became a hero in Canada and the United States after. The role he played in helping the Americans to freedom was minimized in the film.

"In general it makes it seem like the Canadians were just along for the ride. The Canadians were brave. Period," Taylor said.

Affleck's thriller is widely expected to win the best-picture trophy. Two other high-profile best-picture nominees this year, Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" and Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," have also been criticized for their portrayal of some factual issues.

Affleck said in a statement Friday night he thought his issue with Taylor had been resolved.

"I admire Ken very much for his role in rescuing the six houseguests. I consider him a hero. In light of my many conversations as well as a change to an end card that Ken requested I am surprised that Ken continues to take issue with the film," he said in a statement. "I spoke to him recently when he asked me to narrate a documentary he is prominently featured in and yet he didn't mention any lingering concerns. I agreed to do it and I look forward to seeing Ken at the recording."

Taylor noted that former U.S. President Jimmy Carter appeared on CNN on Thursday night and said "90 percent of the contributions to the ideas and the consummation of the plan was Canadian," but the film "gives almost full credit to the American CIA."

Carter also called "Argo" a complete distortion of what happened when he accepted an honorary degree from Queen's University in Canada in November.

"I saw the movie Argo recently and I was taken aback by its distortion of what happened because almost everything that was heroic, or courageous or innovative was done by Canada and not the United States," Carter said.

Taylor said there would be no movie without the Canadians.

"We took the six in without being asked so it starts there," Taylor said. "And the fact that we got them out with some help from the CIA then that's where the story loses itself. I think Jimmy Carter has it about right, it was 90 percent Canada, 10 percent the CIA."

He said CIA agent Tony Mendez, played by Affleck in the film, was only in Iran for a day and a half.

The movie also makes no mention of John Sheardown, a deputy at the Canadian embassy who sheltered some of the Americans. Taylor said it was Sheardown who took the first call and agreed right away to take the Americans in. Sheardown recently died and his wife, Zena, called the movie disappointing.

Friends of Taylor were outraged last September when "Argo" debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival. The original postscript of the movie said that Taylor received 112 citations and awards for his work in freeing the hostages and suggested Taylor didn't deserve them because the movie ends with the CIA deciding to let Canada have the credit for helping the Americans escape

Taylor called the postscript lines "disgraceful and insulting" and said it would have caused outrage in Canada if the lines were not changed. Affleck flew Taylor to Los Angeles after the Toronto debut and allowed him to insert a postscript that gave Canada some credit.

Taylor called it a good movie and said he's not rooting against it, but said it is far from accurate.

"He's a good director. It's got momentum. There's nothing much right from Day 1 I could do about the movie. I changed a line at the end because the caption at the end was disgraceful. It's like Tiananmen Square, you are sitting in front of a big tank," he said.

Pets re-create this year?s best films in ?The Pawscars? (VIDEO)

"The Pawscars," imagines this year's most acclaimed movies as seen through the eyes of pets (Pet Collective)

During each year?s Super Bowl broadcast pet lovers worldwide get the Puppy Bowl. So, why shouldn?t there be an equivalent for the Oscars? The Pet Collective has given us a hint of what such an event might be like with its new video ?The Pawscars.?

The video opens with this year?s Oscars' host ?Seth MacFarlane? lamenting that he has not seen any of the nominated films and wishing that his dog Bingo could tell him about the acclaimed movies.

Thus begins Bingo?s Pawscars dream sequence, which finds him and other animals playing out the roles made famous in films such as "Django Unchained," "Argo," "Zero Dark Thirty" and "Silver Linings Playbook."

The best part may well be a dog dressed in Lincoln?s famous top hat, reminiscing over the time he received a bone for a treat:

How human language could have evolved from birdsong

Friday, February 22, 2013

"The sounds uttered by birds offer in several respects the nearest analogy to language," Charles Darwin wrote in "The Descent of Man" (1871), while contemplating how humans learned to speak. Language, he speculated, might have had its origins in singing, which "might have given rise to words expressive of various complex emotions."

Now researchers from MIT, along with a scholar from the University of Tokyo, say that Darwin was on the right path. The balance of evidence, they believe, suggests that human language is a grafting of two communication forms found elsewhere in the animal kingdom: first, the elaborate songs of birds, and second, the more utilitarian, information-bearing types of expression seen in a diversity of other animals.

"It's this adventitious combination that triggered human language," says Shigeru Miyagawa, a professor of linguistics in MIT's Department of Linguistics and Philosophy, and co-author of a new paper published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.

The idea builds upon Miyagawa's conclusion, detailed in his previous work, that there are two "layers" in all human languages: an "expression" layer, which involves the changeable organization of sentences, and a "lexical" layer, which relates to the core content of a sentence. His conclusion is based on earlier work by linguists including Noam Chomsky, Kenneth Hale and Samuel Jay Keyser.

Based on an analysis of animal communication, and using Miyagawa's framework, the authors say that birdsong closely resembles the expression layer of human sentences ? whereas the communicative waggles of bees, or the short, audible messages of primates, are more like the lexical layer. At some point, between 50,000 and 80,000 years ago, humans may have merged these two types of expression into a uniquely sophisticated form of language.

"There were these two pre-existing systems," Miyagawa says, "like apples and oranges that just happened to be put together."

These kinds of adaptations of existing structures are common in natural history, notes Robert Berwick, a professor of computational linguistics at MIT who is also an author of the paper.

"When something new evolves, it is often built out of old parts," Berwick says. "We see this over and over again in evolution. Old structures can change just a little bit, and acquire radically new functions."

A new chapter in the songbook

The new paper, "The Emergence of Hierarchical Structure in Human Language," was co-written by Miyagawa, Berwick and Kazuo Okanoya, a biopsychologist at the University of Tokyo who is an expert on animal communication.

To consider the difference between the expression layer and the lexical layer, take a simple sentence: "Todd saw a condor." We can easily create variations of this, such as, "When did Todd see a condor?" This rearranging of elements takes place in the expression layer and allows us to add complexity and ask questions. But the lexical layer remains the same, since it involves the same core elements: the subject, "Todd," the verb, "to see," and the object, "condor."

Birdsong lacks a lexical structure. Instead, birds sing learned melodies with what Berwick calls a "holistic" structure; the entire song has one meaning, whether about mating, territory or other things. The Bengalese finch, as the authors note, can loop back to parts of previous melodies, allowing for greater variation and communication of more things; a nightingale may be able to recite from 100 to 200 different melodies.

By contrast, other types of animals have bare-bones modes of expression without the same melodic capacity. Bees communicate visually, using precise waggles to indicate sources of foods to their peers; other primates can make a range of sounds, comprising warnings about predators and other messages.

Humans, according to Miyagawa, Berwick and Okanoya, fruitfully combined these systems. We can communicate essential information, like bees or primates ? but like birds, we also have a melodic capacity and an ability to recombine parts of our uttered language. For this reason, our finite vocabularies can generate a seemingly infinite string of words. Indeed, the researchers suggest that humans first had the ability to sing, as Darwin conjectured, and then managed to integrate specific lexical elements into those songs.

"It's not a very long step to say that what got joined together was the ability to construct these complex patterns, like a song, but with words," Berwick says.

As they note in the paper, some of the "striking parallels" between language acquisition in birds and humans include the phase of life when each is best at picking up languages, and the part of the brain used for language. Another similarity, Berwick notes, relates to an insight of celebrated MIT professor emeritus of linguistics Morris Halle, who, as Berwick puts it, observed that "all human languages have a finite number of stress patterns, a certain number of beat patterns. Well, in birdsong, there is also this limited number of beat patterns."

Birds, bees ? and dolphins?

The researchers acknowledge that further empirical studies on the subject would be desirable.

"It's just a hypothesis," Berwick says. "But it's a way to make explicit what Darwin was talking about very vaguely, because we know more about language now."

Miyagawa, for his part, asserts it is a viable idea in part because it could be subject to more scrutiny, as the communication patterns of other species are examined in further detail. "If this is right, then human language has a precursor in nature, in evolution, that we can actually test today," he says, adding that bees, birds and other primates could all be sources of further research insight.

MIT-based research in linguistics has largely been characterized by the search for universal aspects of all human languages. With this paper, Miyagawa, Berwick and Okanoya hope to spur others to think of the universality of language in evolutionary terms. It is not just a random cultural construct, they say, but based in part on capacities humans share with other species. At the same time, Miyagawa notes, human language is unique, in that two independent systems in nature merged, in our species, to allow us to generate unbounded linguistic possibilities, albeit within a constrained system.

"Human language is not just freeform, but it is rule-based," Miyagawa says. "If we are right, human language has a very heavy constraint on what it can and cannot do, based on its antecedents in nature."

Palestinians protest in West Bank, holy site

JERUSALEM (AP) ? Palestinians rallying in support of four hunger striking prisoners have clashed with Israeli forces in the West Bank and at a holy site in Jerusalem.

Israel's military said hundreds of Palestinians in Hebron and elsewhere in the West Bank threw rocks at soldiers who responded with tear gas. Palestinian emergency services said dozens were treated for tear gas inhalation and rubber bullet wounds.

In Jerusalem, dozens of Palestinians emerging from Friday prayers threw rocks at officers who responded with stun grenades, police said. That clash was at a key holy site known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary.

Protests have been ongoing for about a week. Israel holds a few thousand Palestinians on charges ranging from rock throwing to deadly attacks.

Researchers propose new way to probe Earth's deep interior

Friday, February 22, 2013

Researchers from Amherst College and The University of Texas at Austin have described a new technique that might one day reveal in higher detail than ever before the composition and characteristics of the deep Earth.

There's just one catch: The technique relies on a fifth force of nature (in addition to gravity, the weak and strong nuclear forces and electromagnetism) that has not yet been detected, but which some particle physicists think might exist. Physicists call this type of force a long-range spin-spin interaction. If it does exist, this exotic new force would connect matter at Earth's surface with matter hundreds or even thousands of kilometers below, deep in Earth's mantle. In other words, the building blocks of atoms?electrons, protons, and neutrons?separated over vast distances would "feel" each other's presence. The way these particles interact could provide new information about the composition and characteristics of the mantle, which is poorly understood because of its inaccessibility.

"The most rewarding and surprising thing about this project was realizing that particle physics could actually be used to study the deep Earth," says Jung-Fu "Afu" Lin, associate professor at The University of Texas at Austin's Jackson School of Geosciences and co-author of the study appearing this week in the journal Science.

This new force could help settle a scientific quandary. When earth scientists have tried to model how factors such as iron concentration and physical and chemical properties of matter vary with depth ? for example, using the way earthquake rumbles travel through the Earth or through laboratory experiments designed to mimic the intense temperatures and pressures of the deep Earth ? they get different answers. The fifth force, assuming it exists, might help reconcile these conflicting lines of evidence.

Earth's mantle is a thick geological layer sandwiched between the thin outer crust and central core, made up mostly of iron-bearing minerals. The atoms in these minerals and the subatomic particles making up the atoms have a property called spin. Spin can be thought of as an arrow that points in a particular direction. It is thought that Earth's magnetic field causes some of the electrons in these mantle minerals to become slightly spin-polarized, meaning the directions in which they spin are no longer completely random, but have some preferred orientation. These electrons have been dubbed geoelectrons.

The goal with this project was to see whether the scientists could use the proposed long-range spin-spin interaction to detect the presence of these distant geoelectrons.

The researchers, led by Larry Hunter, professor of physics at Amherst College, first created a computer model of Earth's interior to map the expected densities and spin directions of geoelectrons. The model was based in part on insights gained from Lin's laboratory experiments that measure electron spins in minerals at the high temperatures and pressures of Earth's interior. This map gave the researchers clues about the strength and orientations of interactions they might expect to detect in their specific laboratory location in Amherst, Mass.

Second, the researchers used a specially designed apparatus to search for interactions between geoelectrons deep in the mantle and subatomic particles at Earth's surface. The team's experiments essentially explored whether the spins of electrons, neutrons or protons in various laboratories might have a different energy, depending on the direction with respect to the Earth that they were pointing.

"We know, for example, that a magnet has a lower energy when it is oriented parallel to the geomagnetic field and it lines up with this particular direction ? that is how a compass works," explains Hunter. "Our experiments removed this magnetic interaction and looked to see if there might be some other interaction with our experimental spins. One interpretation of this 'other' interaction is that it could be a long-range interaction between the spins in our apparatus and the electron spins within the Earth, that have been aligned by the geomagnetic field. This is the long-range spin-spin interaction we were looking for."

Although the apparatus was not able to detect any such interactions, the researchers could at least infer that such interactions, if they exist, must be incredibly weak ? no more than a millionth of the strength of the gravitational attraction between the particles. That's useful information as scientists now look for ways to build ever more sensitive instruments to search for the elusive fifth force.

"No one had previously thought about the possible interactions that might occur between the Earth's spin-polarized electrons and precision laboratory spin-measurements," says Hunter.

"If the long-range spin-spin interactions are discovered in future experiments, geoscientists can eventually use such information to reliably understand the geochemistry and geophysics of the planet's interior," says Lin.

Police: SUV in Vegas shooting, crash found

LAS VEGAS (AP) ? Police have found a black Range Rover SUV in Las Vegas and identified a suspect in a shooting that sent a Maserati into a taxi that exploded, killing three people.

Police Capt. Chris Jones tells The Associated Press the vehicle was found Saturday afternoon at an apartment complex east of the Las Vegas Strip. It has been impounded as evidence.

Jones says police are looking for 26-year-old Ammar Harris in connection with the shooting early Thursday on the Strip. His arrest history in Las Vegas includes charges of kidnapping and pandering.

Maserati driver and aspiring rapper Kenny Cherry was killed by gunfire.

Taxi driver Michael Boldon, of Las Vegas, and his passenger, Sandra Sutton-Wasmund of Maple Valley, Wash., died when the Maserati crashed into them.

Democrats' Drive to Turn Texas Blue May Be Harder Than it Seems

Texas Democrats, no doubt pumped up by a growing Hispanic population, have started to mull over the possibility that the Lone Star State could become Democratic for the first time since George W. Bush trounced Ann Richards in 1994.

But a close analysis suggests that may be easier said than done.

More Hispanic voters may mean a tilt toward Democrats in Texas

Newsmax, noting an increase in the Hispanic electorate nationwide, which tended to vote for Obama, suggests that the political trends in Texas will shift toward the Democrats going forward. RealClearPolitics points out that Texas is already a majority/minority state in which non-Hispanic whites make up just 45 percent of the population.

Immigration as a wedge issue

Democratic politicians in Texas point to the immigration issue as something that can be used to drive Hispanic voters to the Democrats, according to Newsmax. Mitt Romney, whose hard-line stance on the issue was noted during debates in the Republican primary, has taken the blame for a poor performance by Republicans among Hispanic voters nationwide.

Texas Republicans have been more adroit at wooing Hispanic voters

However, RealClearPolitics votes that Texas Republicans have proven more adroit at wooing Hispanic voters. Gov. Rick Perry, for instance, managed to grab close to 40 percent of the Hispanic vote in his re-election bid in 2010, according to Newsmax. Perry, whose stance toward immigration was less hard-line than Romney's, has also managed to use economic and social issues to good effect to woo Hispanic voters. Republicans have also elected their own Hispanics to public office, including Ted Cruz who, albeit Cuban and not Mexican, has won a seat in the United States Senate.

White Texans trending more Republican

One other factor that mitigates against Texas trending toward the Democrats is that white Texans have been shifting more toward the Republican Party, as the New Republic notes. While Obama did better with Hispanic voters in Texas in 2012 than he did in 2008, he did worse overall in the Lone Star State, mainly because he did worse among white voters.

Texas trending blue or staying red

Nevertheless, RealClearPolitics notes that Texas Democrats still hope that can leverage the Hispanic vote to at the very least make the Lone Star State competitive again. They believe they have a rising star in the form of San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, who could be competitive in the 2014 governor's race. However Texas Republicans seem to realize that the advantage they have enjoyed in statewide races for the past 20 years will not maintain itself, realizing that they will have to work to preserve it. How well they do may prove to be a model for Republicans nationwide in the task of making the Hispanic electorate competitive and not a lock, like African Americans, for the Democrats.

Adolf Hitler stumping for votes in Indian election

GAUHATI, India (AP) ? Adolf Hitler is running for election in India. So is Frankenstein.

The tiny northeast Indian state of Meghalaya has a special fascination for interesting and sometimes controversial names, and the ballot for state elections Saturday is proof.

Among the 345 contestants running for the state assembly are Frankenstein Momin, Billykid Sangma, Field Marshal Mawphniang and Romeo Rani. Some, like Kenedy Marak, Kennedy Cornelius Khyriem and Jhim Carter Sangma, are clearly hoping for the electoral success of their namesake American presidents.

Then there is Hitler.

This 54-year-old father of three has won three elections to the state assembly with little controversy over being named after the Nazi dictator.

His father had worked with the British army, but apparently developed enough of a fascination with Great Britain's archenemy to name his son Adolf Hitler ? though he also gave him the middle name Lu, Hitler said.

"I am aware at one point of time Adolf Hitler was the most hated person on Earth for the genocide of the Jews. But my father added 'Lu' in between, naming me Adolf Lu Hitler, and that's why I am different," Hitler told The Associated Press from the small village of Mansingre, 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of Gauhati, the capital of the nearby state of Assam.

Hitler said his name has not stopped him from traveling the world, including to the United States and Germany.

"I never had problems obtaining a visa but I was asked many times during immigration as to why I should have such a name. I told the immigration staff I possibly didn't have a role in my naming," he said.

India played little role in World War II, and many Indians view Hitler not as the personification of evil but as a figure of fascination. Hitler's book "Mein Kampf" is prominently displayed at many Indian bookstores. The owner of a menswear shop named his store "Hitler," then expressed puzzlement last year after Israel complained.

Musfika Haq, a teacher in Meghalaya's capital, Shillong, said such names are common in the state.

"Parents obviously get fascinated by names of well-known or great leaders, but must be unaware that some of them, like Hitler, had been highly controversial," he said.

Lecturer's wife, her angry emails and a husband 'exposed to all as a love-cheat' in messages accidentally sent to whole university

  • Donna Lees emailed her husband's suspected lover Claire Russell
  • But she was left angry after failing to receive a reply?
  • She sent email to everyone sharing lecturer's surname at Bath University
  • Intimate details of alleged affair were widely circulated

By Lucy Osborne

|

When a married woman came to believe her husband was having an affair with a college lecturer, she tried to vent her fury in an email to the suspected lover.

But after Donna Lees failed to receive any reply, she decided to communicate her anger to everyone who shared Claire Russell?s surname at Bath University.

As a result, intimate details of the alleged affair between law tutor Miss Russell and father-of-two Sean Lees have been widely circulated to hundreds of people ? and caused much amusement for the university?s students.

Rivals:? Donna Lees, left, emailed her husband's suspected lover Claire Russell, right, but when she did not receive a reply she sent an email to everyone sharing lecturer's surname at Bath University

Mrs Lees?s email, which was sent on Wednesday, reads: ?Clearly you are equally as dishonest as my husband, given he has admitted today that he has been sleeping with you since September.

?Has Sean told you that he left his SatNav in our youngest daughter?s car whilst I was on holiday two weeks ago?

?It has all the dates and times of his meetings with you.?

?

Mrs Lees, who runs a Brighton-based fish supply business with her 49-year-old husband ? from whom she has now separated ? said she attempted to contact Miss Russell via what she believed was her personal email address. But when she did not reply, Mrs Lees decided she ?would not just sit back and be ignored?.

Mrs Lees had wanted to send a message to Miss Russell?s college email address, but because she didn?t know which exact address was hers, she sent it to everyone with the surname Russell.

It is thought that Mrs Lees obtained the emails of all staff and students named Russell from the university website.

Revealing: The email has caused quite a commotion among students at Bath University, pictured

The email was initially addressed to 15 people with the surname.

It is believed to have since been circulated hundreds of times since.

In it, Mrs Lees says: ?Perhaps you just like secretly s******g other people?s husbands?, in between your demanding work and family schedule.

?To be the catalyst that smashes apart a whole family and destroys the trust and love between a father and two daughters must surely be a big burden to bear Claire...

?Well done. I hope your conscience copes, although given it appears to match your morals it probably will.?

Mrs Lees and her husband have two daughters, Brooke, 20, and Paige, 18, and have been married for 23 years.

She said: ?We were a very close family before all this happened, including him, but I just hope he can re-build a relationship with his daughters in the future.?

Mrs Lees, 45 added that her husband had admitted the affair ?to my daughter, then admitted it to me as well?. She said that her husband and Miss Russell dated ?but only for a few months?.

Regarding the email being widely read, Mrs Lees said: ?I don?t really care if she?s embarrassed ? that?s not my problem, if she replied in the first place I wouldn?t have resorted to doing that.

?I have never met Claire but know of her through friends of friends,? she added.

Miss Russell, who works part-time at Bath, one of the UK?s top ten universities, alongside her role as a consultant at Bespoke Legal Practice, declined to comment on the alleged affair or email.

She said: ?I do not know Donna Lees and have never met her.

?I understand from many who do know her, and from her actions so far, that she is someone who is unbalanced, and thrives on confrontation and drama.

?I do not think it is wise to indulge her and therefore have nothing to say.?

One student who received the email said he found it ?hilarious?, and that it has been sent around the university from friend to friend.

The second-year law student said: ?I don?t know much? about Miss Russell, but she is attractive for a middle-aged woman.?

The University of Bath declined to comment on the incident, saying that it is ?a personal and not a university matter?.

Mr Lees could not be reached for comment.

You can stop worrying about the economy and the so-called recession because this "underground" trader is about to tell you how... With My System You Can Make Money from the Stock Market During the Recession... No Matter How Bad the Economy Gets! And You Can Do It In 15 Minutes a Day! It's time to STOP watching your portfolio shrink, and START doing something about it! Keep reading to discover exactly how to create a huge monthly income by making a killing from the market REGARDLESS of whether it goes up or down! (This is NOT just for "Traders". This is also for ANYONE who has money in the stock market, or who wants to START making real money from the market... even if you've never made a trade in your life.) (NOTE: The course contains FULL SIZE videos so you can see exactly what is happening.) ? From: Bauser Moretti Date: Penny Stock Castaways FREE 137 Page eBook Little known technique produces surging profits First Name: Email: We respect your email privacy ? Dear future "elite" trader, Let me tell you something I hate, and then I'll tell you something I love. I HATE seeing good people lose money in the stock market. Nobody likes losing money. I've been there and done that. Perhaps that's why I have compassion for the millions of people who are currently losing so much of their financial worth. People are losing their stock portfolios, losing their 401k's, losing their jobs due to the sour economy, and just generally getting spanked by Wall Street. Unfortunately, I can't help the "masses" avoid financial loss. It's just a part of how the game is played. Someone is always going to lose money. However, I CAN help those who are willing to help themselves. And since you're here reading this page, that includes you :-) In other words, someone is always going to lose money, but that "someone" DOESN'T have to be you! And what do I love? I LOVE empowering people to achieve success in their lives. So I guess that this love and hate are what motivated me to create the The Profitology Trading System for you. You will NOT find this system being taught by ANYONE else, and it absolutely has the potential to drastically change your life for the better! However, I'm NOT going to feed you a bunch of "get rich quick" hype, because that's not what the course is about, nor is it my style. Instead, I'm going to get straight to the point and just tell you... What this course is all about What it will do for you What is included And how you'll be able to access it This Has Been 20 YEARS In The Making! First, I want you to know that this program was NOT just conceived in the last few weeks and packaged as a product to sell. This course is the result and culmination of 20 years of thinking, planning, learning and practicing the material that you will receive. The reason why I decided to teach you my methods is revealed in this letter. I'm not going to hide anything. I want to be very clear from the outset... Unlike many people who teach options and growth stocks, I am NOT a former market maker or specialist or a licensed professional in the financial industry. I am a retail investor just like you. The difference is that I found a way to be successful and profitable trading stocks and options as a REAL business from my home office. The business methods I use?are also used?by professional hedge fund managers and market professionals who rarely, if ever, talk about their strategies. So you're probably asking yourself, "Why would he give away these secrets?" To answer that question, I will tell you that there are three reasons why I want to teach you this business... 1) There's no reason not to teach you my secrets. Seriously. I have nothing to lose. The markets are huge and worldwide and anyone can trade them without decreasing the opportunity. In fact it would only make things better. The more traders, the more money we can make and the more liquid the market becomes. It's really a win-win-win. Unlike other businesses - such as the one I have been involved in for the last 9 years (Internet marketing)- this business only gets BETTER as more people?do it. 2) I am a business person but I am also?a teacher. I have been teaching people how to use the Internet to start a business since 1999.?I have taught thousands of people how to make their living online so?teaching is?something I love to do. There are not many people who really understand this business and are willing to teach it to others. 3) Frankly, a little extra money from selling this course means more I can put to good use in my?trading business. Obviously I put my money where I get the largest return for the amount invested.?Most of the?money I make from selling this course goes directly into my trading business. I don't know what your abilities are or how fast you can learn this business as I teach it, so I will never tell you how much you could make but 5% (or much more) per month is a very reachable goal. Returns can be as high as 62.5%?(ROM) - that's $1,000 for every $1,600 invested. But let me explain why this course is different from anything you may have seen before... Most people think the markets are too risky and their approach is "Hit or Miss", pure speculation, or worse... GAMBLING! I will tell you right now... my trading system is NOT gambling! Bottom line: I treat trading as a real business. In fact, I don't even consider myself to be an 'investor' or 'speculator' or 'trader' in the traditional sense. The truth is, and this is exactly how I see myself: I am an entrepreneur. As an entrepreneur I seek opportunities in the market as well as?engage in buying and selling activities to generate the highest return on my investment and then simply manage my risk. My product is options and growth stocks. I buy and sell them to make money. All businesses buy and sell to make money - I just do it with stocks and options. All good businesses manage based on numbers and ratios - I do the same thing - I manage by the numbers! All businesses plan for profits and?create opportunities?for the largest return on investment (ROI) possible - I do too, except I?create opportunities?for the largest return on margin (ROM). I know exactly what my maximum profits are going to be before I place a trade. I don't guess or speculate - I have a plan. Then I simply manage the position and, if necessary, adjust my positions to remain profitable?or cut my losses through smart risk management technics and collect my profits at the end of the trading cycle (monthly). This is an "Evergreen Business". Even as the markets shift, and the economy changes... this system will always work! This business will never change...?the principles, once you learn them, are yours forever. You could learn these and hand them down to your children and grandchildren. The basics of this business will never change because the underlying the principles will never change. That's why I call?it an 'evergreen' business. Unlike franchises or other types of consumer or business-to-business markets, the stock and option markets?have been around for hundreds of years. And even though the markets move and change in some ways, the principles have been the same for the past 200+ years. How did I discover how to start a stock?and option business? One day I woke up one day to find a little extra cash sitting in a money market earning 1.5% a year. The next year it was earning 3%... wow - 3% a year. I felt my money should be put to better and more productive use and I started looking into all kinds of franchise opportunities and other businesses to invest in... but they all had one drawback - the financial investment was large but so was the investment of time... something I really didn't have as a father of four. So after years of 'hit or miss' trading I started thinking about?trading as a real business about 2 1/2 years ago?- buying and selling?stocks and options as?a 'business'. I didn't know if it could be done, but the idea intrigued me. I knew somebody, somewhere was making a killing in the markets and I was determined to find them, learn everything they know and make a killing of my own. I was determined to run my?trading as a business, not as a gambler, and that meant looking at opportunities,?supply and demand, marketplace dynamics and managing my business based on solid business fundamentals: profit, loss, expenses, overhead and return on investment. Like any business my only concern was to buy something that I could sell at a profit - and with enough of a profit margin so that my expenses (although small) were covered leaving me with a consistent and reliable income. The business of trading has all of these advantages. Once you know the system, this business can be managed in 15 minutes a day. It has all the makings of the 'perfect' business! The problem with creating a business based on the markets is that it seems like they are consistently changing and there is a lot of risk! As you know, the markets go up one day and down the next! I was really confused which way the market would turn, and since I hated the idea of losing money I tried to "predict" the market's direction because that's how I THOUGHT money was made. I got really, really good at 'technical analysis'... I THOUGHT that it held the key to profits... if I could tell where the market was headed it would be easy to make money, right? I learned all about waves and candle sticks, MACD, ADX, CCI, Bollinger Bands and Fibonacci and hundreds of chart 'patterns'... and I thought I 'knew' something' about the future of the market! Frankly, technical indicators are like crutches - they only help to support and validate your trading ideas already formed in your mind. They do not help you become a better trader or see the reality of the market. There are only 3 technical indicators you need to run this business: support, resistance and trend lines. That's' it. We keep it simple. Simple makes me money. I also discovered the TOP 1% of all traders do the EXACT opposite of what I tried to do when I first got started (predict the market)... The fact is... Top traders NEVER try to predict the market they only manage risk. Most of the elite traders don't care if the market goes up or down - they make money either way. They use charts sparingly. All top traders do is manage?their risk?and take advantage of the only truths of the market - the ONLY absolute truths of the market. For stocks that ONE Absolute Truth is this: 1) All stocks fluctuate in price. For options there are two Absolute Truths: 1) All options fluctuate in price and 2) All options expire. The top traders learn to respect these rules because they are the ONLY truths of the market. You might think there are other truths but there aren't-- Everything you hear about the market outside these 2 rules is hearsay, opinion, commentary and even complete fantasy. Of course you will never hear anyone on CNBC even mention these 2 rules because they would have nothing to report! Can you imagine Maria Bartiromo saying, "Prices fluctuated today. Have a nice evening everyone! I'm outta here!" I don't think so! So the top traders respect these rules because they are so powerful and it helps them cut through the 'market noise'. Then they design their trading business around these rules to TAKE ADVANTAGE of them. Once they see an opportunity they jump on it and simply manage?their business?'by the numbers' and, for me it takes 15 minutes - sometimes less - a day. How much can you make? Frankly, it depends on your capital, ability to learn, and your ability to maintain your discipline in this business. Don't be concerned about how much you have to start your investment business (even though I had a considerable amount of money I could invest, I started mine with a small amount so I could learn this business). Just learn the skills and reinvest your profits - they will grow quickly. Have you lost your CONFIDENCE? If you've lost money in the market it can destroy your confidence. My system will allow you to trade with 100% confidence again because instead of hoping to make a profit by guessing what to do, you'll have a plan. Remember what I said at the top of this letter... this is not about hype. I will never guarantee you will make money with this business because I can't tell how you'll use the information that I'm going share with you. Your success in your investment business depends on only one thing: The decisions YOU make. The only way for you to make the right decisions is by having superior knowledge. Once you understand how to REALLY make money, you will trade with total confidence. That's what I can do for you and I do not say it lightly, it's true. Also, I cannot give you official investment advice because I am not an investment adviser registered with the SEC and I am not a CFP (certified financial planner), so if you watch the videos and you see me trading a certain ETF or stock please do not interpret it as a recommendation. I can show you exactly what I do, and how I do it. I'll teach you virtually everything I know about this business; but the actual decisions you make with your money is up to only one person: You. I can tell you with a high degree of certainty though - There is no one who will tell you what I will share with you. No one. You could pay $5,000 or more to attend the top trading seminars, and you still won't learn what I'm going to teach you! I went to a $5,000 'high level', 'super advanced' seminar last year put on by a 25 year veteran - a former floor trader and market maker in options on the CBOE. I went to another 2 years ago that costs $3,000 and I got one tip from it - how to tell if a stock is in a "channel"... no kidding, that was it! 3,000 dollars! What I'm going to teach you will blow away anything that I learned in any of these seminars. I'm not kidding. In fact, I'd say, in truth, they were almost a waste of my money. I say 'almost' because they did help a little but?they lacked practical application of the knowledge they presented - it was mostly theory that left the attendee no better off, in practical terms, than they were when they started. This?course is?the real deal... It really works and very few people (even?professionals)?teach anyone how to do this. I know this for a fact because I've talked to some of the pros, and either they don't know this system, or else they are not willing to admit it. But there are a few guys who really know this stuff inside and out (one guy is sort of teaching this and the others are not teaching it at all). I found them and picked their brain over and over until I figured it out and came up with a system based on what they told me. Most of them didn't even know how to explain what they do-- it's like instinct to them and they couldn't express what they did in a step-by-step coherent way, so I really had pull it out of them. Then I put together what I learned, and came up with a complete business system that anyone can follow. I'll just say that I think it will surprise you how profitable and easy it is to run - and just 15 minutes a day is all you need. On the other hand, if you want to make this a full-time business - you can! There are plenty of opportunities to make even more money if you have more time to devote to this business. So let's see if you're the right kind of person to take this course: Have you been in the market as an investor and been disappointed with the results? Do you stay away from the markets because you think they are too risky? Are you confused by technical and fundamental analysis? Would you like to stop GUESSING which direction the markets are going, and take the professional approach to trading as a business? Does the idea of managing your business 'by the numbers' make sense to you? Does the idea of trading stocks and options as a real business sound good to you? If you answered 'YES' to any ONE or more of the questions above, I think you would be a good candidate for this training. Here's what you'll be getting in the course... There are a total of 41 videos within the course. The videos are grouped into several "Modules", with each Module containing 'hands-on' videos walking you through the topics covered. We use videos because you can SEE exactly what to do as you learn, and you can watch them over and over again (if necessary) to review and build your understanding. You can watch these videos directly on your computer...?we will give you a username and password to access them anytime of the day or night - whenever it's convenient for your schedule. In addition, you will have permanent access to these videos and you will also receive any new ones we add at a later date! The Modules in the course include: 1. INTRODUCTION TO TRADING AS A BUSINESS?& TRADING WITH CONFIDENCE This Module is designed to introduce you to a new way to trade stocks and options?- as a business. Emphasis is on risk management and building a portfolio of trades that can be managed 'by the numbers'. Learning the craft, acquiring the skills required to be successful in this business. This Module contains over 4 hours of great teaching! 2. THE GREEKS - MANAGING BY THE NUMBERS The 'greeks' play a critical role in your trading business. I totally de-mystify them and tell you exactly what the greeks are and, in practical, easy to understand language demonstrate how they impact your business. The greeks are the numbers you need to understand to manage your portfolio profitably. Special report included! I'm also including the most comprehensive, yet easy to read 5 page CONFIDENTIAL REPORT on how to profit from "The Greeks" available in the world (yes, the world, and no, I'm not kidding). 3. TRADE SELECTION AND STRATEGY We've set the stage, now it's time to get on with the work at hand. This is where things get good and interesting. What positions do we take? How do we determine when and how? Do 'charts' matter? What is the big picture behind what we're doing? This Module goes in depth with FIVE videos covering EEM, ADSK, DIA, SPY, and IWM (Don't worry, you'll understand it all later!) 4. PORTFOLIO BUILDING Build a portfolio by putting on positions that work together. This is where many traders go wrong - they put on individual positions and do not understand how they affect your overall portfolio. You'll discover why diversification in time frames, prices and strategies is a key to making money. This is simply fundamental to being a good investor. 5. THE TOOLS OF THE TRADE ThinkorSwim (TOS), in my opinion is the best broker and has the best trading platform available. If you had to pay separately for the kind of analysis tools they give you as an account holder it would cost you many hundreds of dollars a month in fees - with TOS they're free. I take you inside the TOS platform and help you access the power you have at your finger tips. (There are other programs/software that you can use to analyze your trades, but TOS is also free when you open an account.) 6. PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT BY THE GREEKS, ADJUSTMENTS, VIX and More... Now that we have built our portfolio, how do we manage it by the numbers? We learned the greeks, so now it's time to put them into action. The key to success is knowing how to look at the numbers and know, without a doubt, what they mean and what to do with them if anything. This module includes 5 killer videos with real life examples as I manage a portfolio. 7. THE ART OF ADJUSTMENTS - THE SECRET KEY What happens when our numbers don't look good? This is where 99% of all traders get killed in the market... they have no clue what to do when a position goes against them and they lose money. It's too bad because most trades can be saved to make a profit! Imagine making one small change to your position and increasing your odds of making a profit by 80%! That's what adjusting can do for you! In Trading As A Business, we KNOW what to do. We trade with confidence. We know and understand that when a trade goes against us it's an OPPORTUNITY to add to our portfolio by adjusting. I call it Smart Allocation of Capital. The art of adjustments is the missing link in trading options and stocks that almost no one teaches. 8. CLOSING POSITIONS How and when to close positions, and how to close them for maximum profits. The risks of holding positions into expiration week. When and how to 'buy' short-term insurance to protect your profits and increase your wealth in expiration week. How to close positions and get free trades left over that, although small, have a chance of DOUBLING our profits. This module contains 5 videos, and the key theme here is MAXIMIZING our profits! 9. THE BIG PICTURE - TECHNICAL ANALYSIS What kinds of technical analysis help us in our business? There are only a few key analysis tools that can help you determine the probabilities of market direction and I tell you exactly what those are. I'll give you insights into why the market moves the way it does. I'll also give you a historical perspective on market movements going back to 1900 and give you a realistic plan of attack for determining future market direction based on factual evidence. In the 2nd video, I dive into short-term indicators that can sharpen your edge in the markets to better time your trades. Then I tell you about an indicator I stumbled on, that predicts short-term and opening market direction with an amazing degree of accuracy close to 95% of the time as well as how to determine intra-day movements and how to tell whether money is flowing into or out of stocks and what it means for intra-day price trends. This module contains well over 3 hours of solid teaching. 10. ADVANCED TECHNIQUES AND EXPLOSIVE WEALTH BUILDING STRATEGIES Not even one of these strategies requires any knowledge of 'technical analysis' - it can help, but it's not required. These make money whether the market goes up or down. These are strategies you can manage based on 'the numbers'. One important thing I should mention: There are ways to make money that are NOT obvious. For example, Strategy #1 is something I have been studying for years, and it works every time and cannot fail to work. ? 11. Explosive Strategy #1 Using this one method I turned a $14,000 trade into a $75,000 profit in just 8 months. The most money at risk? Just $650. That was the total amount that was at risk when this position was initiated and NO more money was ever put into the position. Amazing profit/loss ratio. And it doesn't matter if the stock goes up or down but does require an longer time frame- 6 to 8 months. It is not uncommon for these trades to create the profits you can brag about. Want to make a killing in the market? It doesn't get any better than this. 12. Explosive Strategy #2 Another method I call "Flipping Stocks" let's me buy stocks cheaper than anyone else and if the market does not cooperate with my plan - I get paid lots of money for waiting until it does! This is for bigger players with more capital... but when you have $15k or more to put to work, these longer term trades generate explosive profits. I teach it to you in a nice 52 minute video 13. Explosive Strategy #3 This new strategy that has unlimited upside or downside potential and only $50 or so of risk! This strategy is extremely powerful and one of the biggest real 'secrets' that no one has ever discussed that I know of. Wait till you see the power of this strategy. You can make $1000's with a total risk of $50 or so. It's extremely powerful. Think there's no free-lunch on Wall Street? This isn't one either but it's as close as it gets to one! This is the perfect strategy for playing earnings reports, takeover news stocks and any stock you think will move big in any direction with little risk. 14. Explosive Strategy #4 If you want to be more active in stocks but hate the risk, you'll love this. Day trade without the risk normally associated with day trading. Can be setup to be an 'semi-automated' trading system. Very powerful and again another low risk, high earning strategy for more active participants. This strategy includes 9 videos, and I take you through some real life trades over the course of 7 days and show you exactly how I make thousands of dollars with these trades. I've also included 3 worksheets (Excel spreadsheets) for your convenience! 15. Explosive Strategy #5 If you liked the idea of the monthly income trades but were wondering how to 'turbo charge' them to make a fortune, then you will love THIS. Instead of $1000-$2000 a month you could start generating an income in the $5,000 to $40,000 a month range after learning this and with a lot less stress while trading as 'big' as you want. This last strategy is the 'icing' on the cake... the peak moment in all your hard study and will be worth 100 times what you paid for this course - maybe even more. Why didn't I reveal this until the very end of the course? Simple: You would not be able to use this strategy without a good foundation that was laid out in the earlier Modules. Everything we have learned thus far has been leading up to these explosive strategies. This Course Contains Over 40 Videos... Totaling Over 24 HOURS Of Me Teaching! The videos and modules are very well organized in an easy-to-navigate membership area, and they are sequenced in a perfectly logical order so that you can learn the system one step at a time. As I mentioned previously, you will not find this material anywhere else. The course will be delivered to you 100% online. I'M INCLUDING TWO FORMATS FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE: 1) Online Streaming. You can stream the videos directly in your browser (Flash videos, which are compatible with virtually all browsers), so you don't have to download anything if you don't want to. 2) Downloadable.

(with the exception of your spouse)?. So... what's the price? I've made this incredibly affordable so you can learn it without any serious financial stress. As I mentioned I have been to seminars for $3,000 and $5,000 and you will get much more from this course than both of those combined.

Email us at: support@tornadotradingsystem.com P.S.-?
