Miley Cyrus: “Who Owns My Heart” Video Causes Major Controversy

A parents advocacy group believes that Miley Cyrus’ latest video for her single ” Who Owns My Heart” is too hot and provocative for children. They are “condemning the sexualized nature” of the music video. Miley wakes up blindfolded before she prepares and heads out in the club. For some people, this is a reminder of the video that caught the teen doing a lap dance.

” It sends messages to her fan base that are diametrically opposed to everything she has done up to this point. Miley built her fame and fortune entirely on the backs of young girls, and it saddens us that she seems so eager to distance herself from that fan base so rapidly”, said Tim Winter, the president of the organization.

So Miley Cyrus is back again causing much controversy due to her radical change of look and music style. The Parents Television Council wants to send a warning to all parents, that this type of behavior influences their children in a negative way. According to their opinion, she is too sensual and too provocative for her age and sends out the wrong message to her fans.

After “Can’t Be Tamed” and now “Who Owns My Heart” videos, some wonder if Miley Cyrus will follow Britney Spears’ career, going from innocent to sexy.

Buick Regal announced on the 2011 New Cars List

Buick is trying to regain prestige brand in America in 2011 by raising one of his biggest hits of the 70s and 80s. After a break of 6 years, the Regal is back on our roads. This new Regal borrows most of the components of an Opel Insignia, which at first sight risk? Be an excellent starting point, because the Insignia has earned the price of European Car of the Year in 2009.

Buick Regal 2011 is a 4-door sedan, which now becomes the entry level car in the Buick brand and is below the Buick LaCrosse. The Regal is initially available with the option group that includes CXL Series leather seats and heated, the alloy wheels of 18 inches, satellite radio, the Bluetooth system and other gadgets such as a port USB for music and OnStar.

The Regal is available only with four-cylinder engines. Either a 2.4 liter Ecotec delivers 182 horsepower with a torque of 172 lb / ft connected to a 6-speed automatic transmission or an optional four-cylinder turbocharged 2.0-liter 220 horsepower. The test vehicle was equipped with less powerful but more energy-efficient. With this new Regal, the American company wants to attract a younger clientele and thereby take market share from the Acura TSX, Honda Accord, Lincoln MKZ and the Lexus IS.

Outside, we see the European influence and the roofline is reminiscent of the trend four-door coupes are the rage nowadays. This American sedan to a conservative style but it is fun to watch. The car has no distinguishing features marked, but some of the corners give it a dynamic look. In addition, the use of chromium is tasteful and 18-inch wheels show a discreet and elegant sedan has almost a character “athlete.”

Inside, the European influence continues, the dashboard is simple and materials are of excellent quality. The leather bucket seats are firm but well padded and offers excellent lateral support. Electrical adjustments allow us to easily find a comfortable driving position and also allow us to inflate or deflate the lumbar support, a feature much appreciated. Only criticism is the inability to fill tilting head restraints that are too looked forward seat, ensuring that we end up with his head resting uncomfortably in the corner of the headrest.

The leather steering wheel is pleasant to the touch but the branches are too large for a good grip, especially in the middle behind the radio controls and cruise control. With regard to the dashboard, there are signs with angular shapes and pointing out the dynamic athletic pretensions of this car.

Cons in part, the buttons are too similar, which means that we must always read the small writing on each button before the press to ensure that this is the desired function. In the evening, the color blue? S lighting is pleasant to the eyes and some applied chromium remain attractive despite their positioning makes them susceptible to fingerprints. At the rear, things just go wrong. The roof line is responsible for giving this car the look of large four-door coupe is also responsible for the low headroom for passengers.

The rear seat is comfortable, the legroom is reasonable and the rear armrest is convenient, but it is not necessary? Be a giant to meet with the head leaning against the ceiling. The trunk is cavernesque and as you see in our photos, it can accommodate three to four golf bags.

US and South Korea Fail to Agree on Free-Trade Deal

On Thursday, President Obama said that USA and South Korea didn’t reach an agreement on a free-trade deal, but according to officials efforts will continue to be made in the weeks to come. Obama’s hope has been to announce the US-South Korea agreement prior to the G-20 reunion, but it didn’t happen so far.

” We have asked our teams to work tirelessly in the coming days and weeks to get this completed”, stated Obama.

A previous trade agreement was signed in 2007 under the influence of the former administration. At this point, US officials want to have access to South Korea’s market for American products, such as beef and autos. ‘We don’t want months to pass before we get this done. We want this to be done in a matter of weeks”, added Obama.

This seems to be a failure on Obama’s record sheet, which comes shortly after the Republicans won the control of the House last week. In the President’s defense, Ron Kirk, US trade representative said it wasn’t Obama’s fault and the objective of this agreement will be reached in the weeks to come:” The president’s leadership on this has put us much closer to a successful closure.”

This is Obama’s third stop in his Asian tour, which has the purpose of obtaining greater access to the regional markets for the American goods.

Earlier today, the American president condemned North Korea for its politics ( “a path of confrontation and provocation”), which is the main reason for the country’s isolation from the world and also for increasing the level of people’s poverty.

” If we rush something that then can’t garner popular support, that’s going to be a problem. We think we can make the case. But we want to make sure that the case is airtight”, said President Obama after a meeting with Lee, on the sidelines of the G-20 summit.

President Mahmud Abbas said that he waits for President Obama to be true to his words when he talked about the creation of a Palestinian state in a year-time: ” We consider this statement to be a commitment by President Obama, not just a slogan. and we hope that next year he won’t say to us ‘ we apologize, we can’t”.

John Boehner, Will He Get Along With Obama?

Republican John Boehner is likely to be the next speaker of the House. He seems to be the newest and strongest political enemy for Obama. On Thursday, Boehner appeared on ABC and talked about the president’s personal history, his emotional tendency and last, but not least, their relationship so far.

Asked by Diane Sawyer if he watched Obama’s press conference held Wednesday, Boehner gave a negative answer and continued:” But I’ve read a little bit about it. And there seems to be some denial on the part of the president, and other Democratic leaders. The message that was sent by the American people. When you have the most historic election in over 60-70 years, you would think that the other party would understand that the American people have clearly repudiated the policies that they put forward the last two years.”

Boehner said that his relationship with president Obama is respectful :” Now, listen I have no personal animosity at all towards the president. I get along well with him. And while we disagree, we try to do it in a way that’s – neither one of us are disagreeable”.

His opinion about next year’s votes is very confident in the Republicans’ chance to win the both houses of Congress and be able to repeal the health care overhaul.

Although Obama said that Boehner brings ‘ no new policies” and Boehner reacted by saying that Obama has  a “job-killing policy”, the two politicians are more alike that you might ever think.

They both come from humble backgrounds; they share a great passion for golf; both of them are smokers; each one has two daughters and share the Ohio connection.

The case is fantastic: after a “serious incident” that hit the panoramic elevators serving the building’s roof, the Department of Ecology – site owner – decided as a precaution to prevent access these elevators for four months, the time to make repairs.

For fifteen days, we tolerate that visitors come to museums through elevators located in the columns of the ark. But “April 24, the department decided that we had the right to use the other lifts,” says Philippe Nieuwbourg, director of the Museum Informatics. Obvious consequence: the museums, and the restaurant that sits atop the Ark must close for four months, time to repair the famous panoramic elevators.
The temporary closure to the final closure

The museum officials and the restaurant are concerned: at the end of June, the museum’s video game released a statement saying that the roof of the Grande Arche “should not reopen its doors to the public, thus depriving the Hauts- de-Seine of the most visited monument in the department. ” The roof of the Arche de la Defense, popular among tourists and schoolchildren, in fact receives 250,000 people every year …

Fifteen days later, the ax falls: Nieuwbourg Philip receives a letter from Jean-Louis Borloo, officially stating that his department will recover the premises for conversion into offices and meeting rooms. “I can believe that the department needs additional space, but the roof of the Grande Arche does not seem appropriate to office: there are no windows and the ceiling height is important … I have the impression that removes museums and video games to organize the Computers department cocktails, “says Nieuwbourg who also wishes to recall that the closure of the roof of the Grande Arche will” a forty people unemployed. “
