Six Nations 2015 - Round One

The 2015 RBS Six Nations tournament kicked off with opening match between England Rugby versus the WRU at the Wales' Millenium Stadium. Even though this is Welsh territory, it looks like the England Rugby has taken the jumpstart to this season at the score of 16-21, in favor of England. As a matter of fact, it was England Rugby's George Ford who sent his team climbing through the ranks despite the missing players of the team.

Highlights:

Meanwhile, last year's champions, the IRFU won the first round against Italy's FIR at the score of 3-26, in favor of Ireland, and France's FFR won the battle against Scotland at the score of 15-8, in favor of the French.



The next round will take place on the 14th of February with England taking on Italy at 1430 hours GMT, Ireland taking on France at 1700 hours GMT, and on the 15th, it's Scotland vs. Wales at 1500 hours GMT.

- More words of wisdom from Tata Lino!

• Kung sa iyong pagtulog, buwan ang iyong nakikita. Dapat kang mag-alala. Ang bubong yung nawawala.
• Masama mang ang itsura mo sa kanila, wag kang mag-alala. Hindi ka nag-iisa.
• Ang selos daw, hindi nakamamatay, pero pag naramdaman mo, parang gusto mong pumatay. Dapat hinay-hinay. Lagi kang malumanay. At hindi mo mang nobyo, wala kang karapatang umaway.
• Kung pakikiligin mo lang at balak mo ring iwanan, kilitiin mo na lang. Wala ka pang masasaktan.
• Tunay na matalinghaga ang lahat sa dila ko. Ang importante sa lahat, buksan mo ang diwa mo. Mahirap pag pinilit at matigas ang ulo pag ang diwa'y mo'y bukas, makakapasok na ako.

Let's Do The News! (February 4, 2015)

Welcome back. Here is your current sitrep:

- In response of ISIS brutally torched the Jordanian pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh to death, the Jordanian government executed two convicts, including a female jihadist Sajida al-Rishawi. Jordan's situation is much like Japan. Both of the captives, two Japanese journalists and a Jordanian pilot, were killed by ISIS without mercy despite their efforts to free them.

- At least twelve people died after a TransAsia flight clipped a bridge and crashed into a river near Taipei, the capital city of Taiwan. 58 people were onboard the domestic flight and while 12 people died, some were reportedly injured. That flight would have been headed from the Songshan Airport to the Kinmen islands.

- Two senators rejected calls for the resignation of Philippine President Benigno Aquino III over the carnage in Mamasapano, Maguindanao, last Sunday, that killed 44 of the nation's top policemen. Senator JV Ejercito believes that the president should "shape up", be more "sensitive" and should have "empathy" as his term's end draws near.

- A hostage taking was occurred somewhere in Barangay 132 in Pasay City. The hostage taker, named Christopher Magsusay, took eight persons as captives and seven hours later, the hostages are freed and the hostage taker was finally arrested by authorities even though he was injured by policemen chasing him.

- Seven people are reportedly dead when a commuter train smashed a car at a railroad crossing on the outskirts of New York City. 12 others were reportedly injured. The Metro-North Railroad would have headed to a town north of Manhattan when it rammed into the car by about 100 meters before coming to a stop and then, the first train car caught fire in the collision.

- The all-new Ford Focus RS has unveiled and the ultimate version of the Focus comes with the turbocharged 2.3L engine producing 316HP of power through all four-wheels. At last, it's coming to North America for the first time!

2016 Ford Focus RS

- The Ferrari 488 GTB was unveiled and this is more of a facelifted version of the 458 Italia with some inspiration from the LaFerrari hypercar but the new model comes with the turbocharged 3.9L V8 engine developing 661HP of power, that's more than the Lambo Huracan and the McLaren 650S had.

- The Porsche Cayman GT4 was unveiled and this is the ultimate version of the second-generation Porsche Cayman, armed with track-proven upgrades and a 911 GT3-derived 3.8L boxer-6 developing 385HP of power. The only transmission offered is a 6-speed manual gearbox. Thank goodness.

Who should run the internet?

The Federal Communications Commission  or the FCC will be meeting with the top politicians of the US capitol on February 26, to decide if the internet should stay free and fair, or if it should be handed over to the cable companies. Which means, they have a choice between the open, fair, democratic internet we love or a ruthlessly inefficient internet where ISPs get to pick and choose whose content gets priority, whose gets slowed down, and whose might never get transmitted at all.

We need your help. If the FCC cooperates with cable companies, it will be the end of the internet once and for all and be treated like cable TV for worse.

Keep that in mind that the FCC has this get-out-of-jail card called Title II, which could act as a bill of rights for traffic on the internet, and ensure that cable companies can't abuse their positions as carriers of that traffic. We need the FCC to maintain Title II and keep the internet free for all, not for the cable companies who are trying to slow them down.

Hurry! You can save the internet and we have the strength to win this!
