Lyrics:
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Oh baby When I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh darling I cant stand it
When you look at me that way
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Oh darling When you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that, My emotions
Are something I just cant tame
Ive just got to have you baby
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get hot and cold all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
tumbling down, tumbling down...

As always, this week’s Paris couture shows have been the stomping ground for stick-thin models with high cheek bones and clenched jaws.
But Jean-Paul Gaultier is not one to abide by rules. Despite the presence of singers Kanye West and Kylie Minogue, it was the former French supermodel Inès de la Fressange who stole the show.
As the voluptuous 51-year-old strutted down the runway, the crowd cheered this one-time French queen of the catwalk. Clearly moved, she turned to wave at old friends and slipped off a cream jacket in front of the cameras.
Mr. Gaultier, also caught up in the moment, chased the former supermodel down the runway and practically wrestled her to the ground during the final moments of the show catching her just before she fell.
Fashion models “are not just 14-year-olds,” Mr. Gaultier said later. “There are no [age] barriers to beauty.” The French designer explained that the curvy Ms. de la Fressange embodied the sexuality demanded his raunchy Spanish themed show, which also featured high-waisted pinstripe pants for women, suspenders and elbow-length gloves.
Ms. de la Fressange in the 1980s was the first model to sign an exclusive modeling contract with a haute couture fashion house — Chanel — and then went on to represent France’s symbol of femininity, Marianne. She described how she felt nervous backstage with the other models, “surrounded by all those sexy little things.”
Despite the warm reception from the crowd, she said her return to the catwalk was a one-off. “For me it was like a Sunday,” she said batting her eyelids. “This is not my job anymore.”

The economic crisis seems to be deepening and with it the layoff count. The latest round of bad news comes from India's second larges
t IT services provider, Infosys, who till now claimed to have stayed away from layoffs.
According to reports, the company has put at least 5,000 employees or 5 per cent of its total global workforce under the performance scanner. Media reports also suggest that the company has asked senior managers (project managers, senior and group project managers, delivery managers) to give lowest performance rating (4 on a scale of 1-4) to the 'underperforming' 5 per cent as a part of its consolidated relative ranking (CRR).
Incidentally, while lowest rankings are not new in the company, this is the first time that Infosys has made it compulsory.
Some 40-50 sales executives have also been reportedly asked to quit in the last two months. Most of these were located in the US and were from consulting background who are in a client-facing role.
The company, however, claims it to be a usual process. Its Group HR head said that there was no change in the policy, and the percentage of employees who are ranked four in the scale varies every year between one percent to five percent.
The official said that the company has decided to implement a six-month mentoring programme for these employees after which it will decide their future based on the improvements they have made. As a part of this programme, each affected employee will be asked to work under the supervision of a mentor who is a senior executive.
During this period, the employee will not be given any important assignment, though he will be allowed to work on his present project. If the concerned employee is on bench, he will give all his time for the mentoring programme.
Last year, Infosys' rivals TCS, Wipro and Satyam too axed a sizeable number of jobs terming them `performance-based'.
MUMBAI: LIFE Insurance Corporation (LIC), India’s largest institutional investor, will invest Rs 17,000 crore in the equity market during the January-March 2009 period, LIC managing director Thomas Mathew T told ET.
The life insurance major is targeting investments worth Rs 40,000 crore into equities in the current financial year. “We are a long-term investor and will be active in the equity market, staying well within the investment guidelines prescribed by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA). We will optimise investor returns. We have also seen a huge growth in demand for corporate loans, and accordingly, our corporate loan disbursements have doubled,” he added.
During the April-December 2009 period, LIC had disbursed over Rs 30,000 crore as corporate loans and the corporation expects the momentum to continue during the current quarter, a top LIC executive said.
With banks adopting a conservative approach on corporate lending, despite several attempts by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to ease liquidity situation, many corporates have chosen to seek funding from LIC to meet their fund requirements. Tata Group and Reliance Industries, for instance, are in the process of raising funds from LIC through the non-convertible debenture (NCD) route.
LIC’s investment portfolio is worth around Rs 8,06,000 crore. As per IRDA guidelines, the institution has to invest 50% of the investible funds in government securities, 15% in infrastructure while the balance 35% can be invested in equities, corporate loans, mutual funds, fixed deposits and commercial papers. The corporation, during the current
financial year, has infused around 15,000 crore into mutual funds, which is around a three-fold increase in its investment in the segment over the previous year.
This, according to the public sector insurer, has come in as a huge respite for the cash-strapped mutual fund house that was reeling under redemption pressure, as the global financial crisis caused local stock market to crash.

India's Yuki Bhambri has been top seeded in the juniors singles at the Australian Open, clearly marking him down as a player to watch out.
Yuki has made waves on the circuit after his semi-final appearance in the previous edition at Melbourne Park and he is a player on the upward curve, rising to become the World No. 2.
He certainly does not lack the self-motivation and determination to do well when he opens against German Sanchez Delfin of Mexico as the juniors events get underway on Sunday.
The 16-year-old Indian knows a bit of Delfin, who is also from the Nick Bollettieri Academy which has been the training base of Yuki.
The Delhi youngster, who won the prestigious Osaka Mayor Cup and then the highly rated Orange Bowl Tennis Championship last season, said he is looking forward to taking on Delfin.
"I am well aware of German's game. We have hit with each other a lot at the Bollettieri. He is a very good baseliner and has a good first-serve percentage. I will have to be aggressive against him," Yuki told IANS.
Yuki, though, did not have the ideal tune-up as he lost in the first round to eventual runner-up Justin Eleveld of the Netherlands in the Optus Nottinghill International.
"It was my first event here, so it took me some time to settle down. The conditions here are quite windy and I am trying to acclimatise."
After last year's thrilling experience, Yuki has worked hard for this year's event and hopes to claim his maiden junior Grand Slam title.
"Every player in the top-50 is good and has the potential to beat anyone. But I will try and give my best in all the Grand Slams this year. I am hoping to win one this year."
Yuki said his stint at the Bollettieri Centre has helped him improve his game.

Pawan Kalyan said that marriage should be performed between two hearts but not amidst crowds. He said this as an answer to a media person's question. He married Renu Desai very secretly without giving any hype. Although the fans have tried to come to watch the marriage and to meet Pawan, they weren't allowed inside.

Allu Aravind and Co was also not seen by media cameras. The marriage was carried in very simple way in Arya Samaj style.

The Ohio Attorney General, in response to an inquiry on the power of any County Sheriff during a snow or weather-related emergency, gave an opinion as to what the Ohio Revised Code says in that regard. The opinion reads that the Sheriff may declare a "snow emergency" and temporarily close any township, county or state road within his jurisdiction for the preservation of public peace.
This decision will come after consulting with the County EMA (Emergency Management Agency), elected officials, the County Engineer, ODOT and on-duty deputies. A Snow Emergency has three levels...
Level 1 - A Level One Snow Emergency means that roads (township and county, mainly secondary) are hazardous with the possibility of blowing and drifting snow. Roads are icy and drivers should use caution, if they choose to drive.
Level 2 - A Level Two Snow Emergency means that roads are hazardous (including primary roads) with blowing and drifting snow a possibility. Only those who feel it is necessary to drive should be on these roadways. Employees should contact their employers to see if they should report to work.
Level 3 - A Level Three Snow Emergency means that roads are closed to all non-essential personnel. No one should be out during these conditions unless it is absolutely necessary to travel. All employees should contact their employer to see if they should report to work. Those traveling on any roadway in the county may subject themselves to citation or arrest.
The decision to call any of the above levels is a specific and difficult one. The Sheriff makes the initiative based on information he and his designees gather. These decisions shall be given to all local media. Please do not call the Sheriff's Office or 9-1-1 during such emergencies, listen to your favorite radio station for information. If they do not have the information, or are not giving it out, change to another station. The Sheriff will immediately announce when conditions have downgraded and the level changes.

Authorities say that a Fort Campbell, Ky., soldier died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head as he was driving down the interstate.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said the 21-year-old soldier was found with a gunshot wound to his head. Investigators said the vehicle left the interstate and flipped over several times.
The name of the victim is being held pending notification of family.

"This includes games, practices, weightlifting and open facilities," schools spokeswoman Elise Shelton said in the release.

Armyworms are, in fact, not worms, but caterpillers. They are the larvae of of nocturnal moths, of the species Spodoptera exempta. Their name comes from their "habit" of crawling en masse into fields of crops.
Besides being known as the African armyworm, it's also known as the okalombo or Kommandowurm or nutgrass armyworm.
The African armyworm larvae feed on grasses, early stages of cereal crops , sugar cane, and occasionally on coconut. During the rainy seasons, the adult moths spread and begin laying eggs in grasses and food crops. Each female lays between 500 and 1,000 eggs in her 10-day adulthood.
Currently, the situation in Liberia is so bad that the country has declared a state of emergency to deal with the invasion. The plague has affected 300,000 rural residents in central and northwestern parts of the country thus far.
Winfred Hammond, the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) told CNN that the infestation started sometime during the week of January 12 but spread quickly, to 50 villages in just a week. He added:
"The plague is being described as Liberia's worst in 30 years. The last African armyworm outbreak in the sub-region occurred in Ghana in 2006."
The weapon of choice against these pests would, unfortunately, be pesticides. A different approach, a biological one using a virus fatal to armyworms, NPV, is also being investigated in various countries, including the UK, Canada and Tanzania, but that is a long-term approach and will not help in this case.

An Atlanta judge has ordered the arrest of former NBA player Jason Caffey, who's accused of failing to pay thousands in child support.
In October, a judge in Alabama rejected a bankruptcy case filed by Caffey, clearing the way for him to be sued for child support.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Cynthia D. Wright issued an arrest warrant Tuesday over Caffey's failure to obey a court order that he pay more than $200,000 in child support and legal fees to Lorunda Brown and her attorney.
"We've been trying to get his attention and this should do it," said Brown's attorney, Randy Kessler. Kessler said Brown is the mother of Caffey's 6-year-old son.
Caffey played nine years in the NBA for the Chicago Bulls, Golden State Warriors and Milwaukee Bucks.
A listing under the name Jason Caffey in the Atlanta area was disconnected Monday night, and an attorney who represented Caffey in the past didn't immediately return an e-mail seeking comment.

The ice storm that pretty much had northern Texas at a standstill Tuesday reached just far enough south to have parts of Central Texas out scraping windshields and rearranging schedules.
Ice and freezing rain Tuesday – the product of a cold front that sent temperatures plunging below freezing – triggered dozens of accidents on roads in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and as far south as Waco, according to reports from The Associated Press. The wintry weather caused the delay or cancellation of nearly 200 flights out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
At Killeen-Fort Hood Regional Airport, three American Eagle flights were canceled early Tuesday because of conditions in Dallas. All three major airlines at Killeen-Fort Hood – Continental, Delta and American Airlines
– could not get the first flights scheduled to depart Tuesday off the ground because the corresponding inbound flights never arrived, a result of Monday night's foggy conditions.
John Sutton, director of aviation at the airport, said local conditions Tuesday did not prevent any incoming or outgoing flights. Any delays and cancelations were the result of conditions at other airports.
"Tonight's a different story," Sutton said Tuesday evening. "We just don't know, but it doesn't look good."
Locally, the National Weather Service issued an ice storm warning for Central Texas that began Tuesday afternoon and continued until this morning. The NWS forecast called for increased chances of freezing rain overnight, with temperatures dipping into the mid-20s and up to a tenth of an inch in ice accumulation.
Tuesday at Fort Hood, the threat of ice prompted an early dismissal on post. Physical training for soldiers was canceled for today, and reporting time for military personnel and garrison non-essential personnel was delayed until 9 a.m. today.
All Killeen ISD athletic events were postponed Tuesday, many rescheduled for today (see story, page C1). The start of classes for Florence ISD and Lampasas ISD were delayed until 10 a.m. today.
Central Texas College, Tarleton-Central Texas and Temple College all closed classes early Tuesday.
Coryell County issued an ice storm warning Tuesday afternoon. County government buildings and operations closed at 4 p.m. In Copperas Cove, city building openings and operations were delayed until 9:30 a.m. today.
Drum major quits, citing hurt feelings
Drum Major John Coleman, suspended last week for six months for nodding and waving to President Barack Obama, said Tuesday that he will not return to the Cleveland Firefighters Memorial Pipes and Drums band.
"There are too many bridges burned with the pipe band, too many hurt feelings on both sides," said Coleman, 53, fire inspector for Cleveland Heights and a 17-year veteran of the band.
The band marched in the inaugural parade, and as Coleman led the band past the president, he nodded his head and waved at Obama. He said the president waved first, and he was acknowledging the commander-in-chief.
But band members had been warned not to make any gestures, so he was suspended from the band, which is made up of about four dozen firefighters from several local departments as well as civilians.
The story gained national attention Monday and became the subject of hot debate. The band removed its roster from its Web site Tuesday and deleted its phone number.
"There are some of the members of the band who wouldn't want me back," said Coleman, who as the drum major was the face of the organization and was often interviewed by the media.
"I figure it's best for the band if I leave," he said.
Band leader Mike Engle, the pipe major, was out of town Tuesday and unavailable to comment. A statement issued by the band read: "We're sorry to see him leave. We are greatly disappointed that this issue has caused so much heartache. It's been a disheartening few days."
Coleman will not be leading the band in the St. Patrick's Day parade in Cleveland for the first time in 17 years. "But I could still march in the parade with the firefighters or the Ancient Order of the Hibernians," he said.
He will then have a knee replacement operation he had been putting off until after the parade.
N.Y. - Scores of schools from the Finger Lakes to Long Island are closed or delaying the start of classes because of a storm that's expected to dump up to 16 inches of snow on some upstate areas.
Only a handful of school closings are reported Wednesday morning in western New York, where up to 4 inches had fallen and up to 12 inches is expected. Most of the closings are in the eastern half of the state, where forecasts predict 8 to 16 inches of snow in the Adirondacks and up to a foot in the Albany area by Wednesday night.

Presper Eckert and John Mauchly were the first to patent a digital computing device, the ENIAC computer. A patent infringement case (Sperry Rand Vs. Honeywell, 1973) voided the ENIAC patent as a derivative of John Atanasoff's invention.
The ENIAC Story
ENIAC, short for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer,was the first general-purpose electronic computer. It was the first Turing-complete, digital computer capable of being reprogrammed to solve a full range of computing problems. ENIAC was designed and built to calculate artillery firing tables for the U.S. Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory.
The ENIAC held immediate importance. When it was announced in 1946 it was heralded in the press as a "Giant Brain." It boasted speeds one thousand times faster than electro-mechanical machines, a leap in computing power that no single machine has matched. This mathematical power, coupled with general-purpose programmability, excited scientists and industrialists. The inventors promoted the spread of these new ideas by teaching a series of lectures on computer architecture.
The ENIAC's design and construction were financed by the United States Army during World War II. The construction contract was signed on June 5, 1943, and work on computer was begun in secret by the University of Pennsylvania's Moore School of Electrical Engineering starting the following month under the code name "Project PX". The completed machine was unveiled on February 14, 1946 at the University of Pennsylvania, having cost almost $500,000. ENIAC was shut down on November 9, 1946 for a refurbishment and a memory upgrade, and was transferred to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland in 1947. There, on July 29, 1947, it was turned on and would be in continuous operation until 11:45 p.m. on October 2, 1955.
ENIAC was conceived and designed by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert of the University of Pennsylvania. The team of design engineers assisting the development included Bob Shaw (function tables), Chuan Chu (divider/square-rooter), Kite Sharpless (master programmer), Arthur Burks (multiplier), Harry Huskey (reader/printer), Jack Davis (accumulators) and Iredell Eachus Jr.
Energy Transfer Partners L.P. (ETP) Tuesday said it reached a deal with Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK) to build a large interstate pipeline to transport natural gas from the booming Haynseville Shale formation in Texas and Louisiana.
The "Tiger Pipeline" will cost $1 billion to $1.2 billion to build and will have an initial capacity of at least 1.25 billion cubic feet of gas a day, the companies said in a press release. The 42-inch diameter line will stretch 178 miles through the Haynseville Shale from an Energy Transfer Partners' system near Carthage, Texas to interconnections with several interstate pipelines in Louisiana. The pipeline is expected to be in service by mid-2011.
Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners will build the line, while Chesapeake, the biggest producer of natural gas in the U.S., has committed to use about 1 billion cubic feet a day of pipeline capacity for 15 years.
Phil Weiss, an analyst with Argus Research Co. in New York, said the commitments by both Chesapeake and Energy Transfer Partners underscore the potential of the Haynesville.
"It does give you an indication of the size of the field, and Chesapeake is not the only company that believes in it," Weiss said.
The Haynseville is one of several shale-rock formations scattered under various parts of the U.S. that contain enormous amounts of natural gas, but had until recently proven too technically difficult and expensive to exploit. Over the past couple of years, however, producers have drilled down, then horizontally through the dense rock, unlocking the gas within and fueling a boom in domestic U.S. gas production.

In a year with drops in property values, Memphis City Schools is pushing for a 57-cent tax increase for schools to make up for money cut by the City Council last year and providing for other increases.
Without the added revenue, the schools can't submit a legal budget to the state and would lose state and federal funding, said Supt. Kriner Cash.
"We jeopardize operations Aug. 1, and we close and are broke on Oct. 3," Cash told council members Tuesday in a move to impress upon them how much the city's public schools need the money.
"We've done the analysis. That's what we need."
Of the current base tax rate of $4.04 per $100 of assessed value, city and county taxpayers now pay $2.02 for schools. The 28 percent increase would add $221 in new taxes to property valued at $150,000 and $177 for a home valued at $120,000.
School funding has long been a key issue in the area, but it hit a new level last year when the council abruptly cut $66 million from the city schools budget, which is largely funded by the county. The city has argued it is not obligated to fund the schools, even though it had routinely supplemented the school budget for years.
The school system had to trim staff and fund daily operations -- including $15 million in initiatives Cash is rolling out in his first year -- with $30 million from its reserves.
The city schools sued the city over the cut, hoping to force a ruling that would define the city's responsibility.
While closing arguments in the case are scheduled Feb. 9 in Chancery Court, there's no timeline for when the judge will rule. City Council leaders have said nothing about their plans to fund city schools this year.
As a result, Cash fears the same funding dilemma is heating up as governments head into budget season awash in a recession that has battered property values and tax bases.
With a $70 million shortfall between what the county said it will pay to fund the city schools and what the state requires, Cash is mincing few words, saying he is prepared to close schools.
"I'm ready to go on a campaign that gets this information out in a clear and unequivocal way," Cash told the board of education late Monday. "We do not have a solution for the 2009-10 year."
Cash sent the proposed funding rate to county school administrators last week, seeking input on it and a larger plan that eventually could allow the districts to unite for the purpose of securing taxing authority. As it stands, any tax increase would have to be approved by the County Commission.
After the fallout from the lawsuit last fall, elected state and local officials began meeting in an ad hoc education funding committee, trying to iron out which governmental body should be responsible for funding schools.
"The issue has always been, should it be the county commission or the two school boards?" said Cato Johnson, committee member. "Who should the single source be?"
Both districts are polishing a joint proposal arguing that the taxing authority rightfully belongs to them.
"The school systems feel like it's in their best interest to be able to control the tax rate," said Deidre Malone, chairwoman of the committee and county commission.
"They feel they are in a better position to be accountable to the people."
The committee is expected to hear the proposal, plus proposals from county commissioners Mike Ritz and Mike Carpenter, who argue that citizens are better served if the county retains the authority.
All three will be introduced to the public in a forum early next month.
"After the public has had a chance to hear them, the ad hoc committee will vote on the one we want to present to the legislature," Malone said.
Any move to change taxing authority must be approved by voters. Malone expects it will be a hard battle.

MTV told you about Crooked X, four 14-year-old hard-rockers from Oklahoma, back when MTV picked MTV Rock Rookies of 2009.
Well, today is a pretty huge day for these teens, who don’t play music like any teens MTV know. Their self-titled debut album is in stores now, and at midnight, a special mini-documentary on the band, “Crooked X: Rock N’ Roll Dream,” will premiere on MTV.
“The special is about our journey from playing at a place called Joe’s Crab Shack in Tulsa to opening for KISS for 35,000 people,” frontman Forrest French told MTV News. “It’s just the steps of what you go through to get up there. It’s only 30 minutes, but I guess if it goes well, it may turn into something bigger.”
Bigger means even more mainstream exposure for the teens, who have already had recent high-profile appearances on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and the halftime show at the final Dallas Cowboys game at Texas Stadium.
And, despite their age, a lot of fans have been won over during these live performances. “The first couple of songs, they’re like, ‘Hey, are they really playing?’ ” bassist Jesse Cooper said. “And then, three or four songs through the set, they’re going, ‘Hey, they really can do this!’ ”
Still think they’re just some novelty act? Let the documentary speak for itself. The band said that over 400 hours of footage was shot for the short doc — and the results should prove that this band is to be taken seriously.
Shane Keough (born September 11, 1986) is a minor league outfielder in the Oakland Athletics farm system. Keough appeared in the Bravo reality show The Real Housewives of Orange County, in which his mother, Jeana Keough, was one of the featured "housewives."
Keough is the oldest child of Matt Keough, a former pitcher for the Oakland A's and current executive with the team and Jeana Keough, a former model, actress and Playboy Playmate who is now a realtor for RE/MAX in Coto de Caza, California. He has a younger sister Kara, who attends University of California at Berkeley and also acts and models, and one younger brother Colton.
Shane is still trying to make a name for himself. Scouts score Keough as a having poor hitting skills with little to no power but with some speed in the outfield. Keough entered the Major League Baseball Draft in 2005 and was drafted by the Oakland A's in the 36th round as a draft-and-follow pick. Keough attended Yavapai College in Arizona to gain more playing time and hopefully attract more attention from the scouts. He was signed by the A's in June, 2006. In the fall of 2006, he played outfield for the Phoenix Athletics in the Arizona League, which is classified as a rookie league. Keough played for the Vancouver Canadians single A Short Season Baseball team as an outfielder in 2007 and played for the single A Kane County Cougars in 2008. It appears as if he may have taken performance enhancement drugs prior to the last baseball season.
Besides Shane's father, his grandfather Marty and great-uncle Joe have both played in the major leagues.
