78,000 to live on Mars with over thousands of people applied to leave earth forever as they want to live on the mars forever. When Mars One announced that they were opening up applications for permanent residency in their proposed permanent colony, they expected to generate some interest. After all, they’re shooting for a half million applicants. What they did not expect, according to Mars One co-founder and CEO Bas Lansdorp, was a rush of over 78,000 applications in just two weeks. Lansdorp told Business Insider that his organization had expected “a slow start,” that would eventually build toward their 500,000 applicant goal by the August 31st deadline. Instead they got nearly a sixth of their goal in a fraction of the expected time. According to Lansdorp, many applicants say that they have been following the project since before the application process began. According to information released by Mars One on Tuesday, applicants come from more than 120 countries, and have a variety of

Teacher dies at Cubs game, A 28-year-old teacher has died after choking on a hot dog while attending a Chicago Cubs game Sunday. Officials tell WLS-TV in Chicago that Maureen Oleskiewicz of Orland Park was sitting in the bleachers Sunday around 12:55 p.m. when she began choking.

We will continue to keep her family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time," a Cubs news release said. Incarnation Catholic Church in Palos Heights is hosting a prayer service Thursday at 7 p.m. in honor of Oleskiewicz, according to a statement posted on School District 128 website.

Teacher dies at Cubs game After Choking on a Hot Dog. Maureen Oleskiewicz was where she loved to be the most Sunday afternoon -- at Wrigley Field. The 28-year-old teacher was there watching her beloved team, the Chicago Cubs, warm up before their game with her brother, Martin Oleskiewicz. One minute she was laughing and cheering, and the next she fell over. According to the Chicago Tribune, she showed no signs of distress before then. "She just went down," Martin told the paper. At first he thought it was a joke, but he quickly realized the situation was anything but humorous. After emergency personnel attempted to resuscitate her, she was rushed to the hospital. Tuesday she was pronounced dead, and the shocking cause of her death was revealed. Cafemom reports She apparently had choked on one of the most quintessential baseball snacks -- a hot dog. Her brother had no idea what was happening at the time and said she didn't grab her throat or do anything to signal there was

Less than a year after he collapsed on live TV, suffering from a heart attack, legendary professional wrestler Jerry "The King" Lawler has been cleared to return to the ring. Lawler hasn't wrestled a match since his heart attack, but that's about to change. The 63-year-old Lawler is set to have his return match May 25 at a small show in Florida. He's scheduled to team with another WWE Hall of Fame wrestler, 72-year-old Dory Funk Jr., the Miami Herald reports. Funk considers it a privilege to be part of Lawler's return. Lawler collapsed during an episode of "WWE Raw" on September 10, 2012. He was commentating on a match after facing a wrestler named CM Punk. His commentary partner, Michael Cole, was tasked with keeping the show on track while updating the viewing audience on Lawler's condition. Jerry returned to "Raw" two months later, resuming his role as commentator.

Several months after having suffered a near fatal heart attack on the Sept. 10th edition of RAW, Jerry Lawler has been cleared by doctors to return to the ring, the Miami Herald reported May 7. Jerry 'The King' Lawler, who is a part-time pro-wrestler and does full-time commentary for WWE's Monday Night Raw, suffered a heart attack while on-air in Montreal, Canada. He was pronounced clinically dead for 20 minutes before being resuscitated. via www.Examiner.com

The No. 2 U.S. diplomat in Libya was watching television at home in Tripoli the night of Sept. 11 when he missed a call from his boss, Ambassador Chris Stevens. “Greg, we’re under attack!” Stevens said from the U.S. mission in Benghazi, when his deputy, Gregory Hicks, called back. Then their connection was cut off. Soon after, Stevens was trapped in smoke from a fire set by militants inside the mission and went missing. Hicks began a frantic, all-night effort to mobilize a rescue, speaking by phone with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before learning from Libya’s prime minister that Stevens was dead. That account of the Benghazi attack emerged from a House hearing yesterday on the Obama administration’s handling of an incident that remains a political flash point in Washington eight months after the killings of Stevens and three other Americans. While the hearing by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee yielded little new information on the attack, the almost six-hour

Jodi Arias guilty - The media circus that is Jodi Arias' murder trial is in its final stretch, as the jury began deliberations Friday following closing arguments. The jury, which has been in court since January, will resume deliberations Monday. It's been an R-rated story, to say the least, with an abundance of testimony about grisly violence and, from Arias, details about a kinky sex life she says she shared with Alexander. CNN reports The case has captured massive if not total interest among Americans. While one part of the country watches CNN's sister network HLN for every twist in the trial, or drives hours to get one of the courtroom's limited lottery seats (yes, they're doled out via lottery), another segment of the nation asks, "Jodi who?" For those of you in the latter category, here are some things you should know as the trial comes to a close: Travis Alexander Lost in the salacious details of the "Jodi Arias trial" is the victim, Travis

Widow of Boston bomb suspect hires criminal lawyer. The widow of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev has hired a prominent criminal lawyer with experience defending terrorism cases as she continues to face questions from federal authorities. Katherine Russell added New York lawyer Joshua Dratel to her legal team, her attorney Amato DeLuca said Wednesday. Dratel has represented a number of terrorism suspects in federal courts and military commissions, including Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detainee David Hicks, who attended an al-Qaida-linked training camp in Afghanistan. ‘‘Mr. Dratel’s unique, specialized experience will help insure that Katie can assist in the ongoing investigation in the most constructive way possible,’’ DeLuca said in a written statement. He said Russell, who has not been charged with any crime, will continue to meet with investigators as ‘‘part of a series of meetings over many hours where she has answered questions.’’ Providence-based DeLuca and Miriam

Jerry 'The King' Lawler cleared in the history of pro wrestling, there have been countless moments when scripted action became tragic reality. Sid Vicious broke his leg during a match. Droz was paralyzed on a botched powerbomb. And some wrestlers like Owen Hart paid the ultimate price and died in the ring. For a brief moment on the September 10, 2012 edition of WWE Raw, it looked like another wrestling tragedy was unfolding. 62-year-old WWE Hall of Famer Jerry 'The King' Lawler had just competed in a rare match and returned to his usual position next to Michael Cole at the WWE announce table. I was watching live and having seen virtually every episode of WWE Raw for 20 years, I immediately sensed that something was wrong. I tweeted, "What just happened on Raw? I think something happened to Lawler. He stopped talking and isn't at the table." What happened was that Jerry Lawler suffered a massive heart attack and was actually clinically dead for several mi

Jodi Arias guilty was founded by An Arizona jury on Wednesday of first-degree murder in the death of her ex-boyfriend in a capital trial that riveted America for months with graphic sexual evidence and bizarre testimony. Arias, who could face the death penalty as her case goes into the penalty phase of the trial on Thursday, has admitted to shooting 30-year-old Travis Alexander, whose body was found in the shower of his Phoenix valley home in June 2008. He had been shot in the face, stabbed 27 times and his throat had been slashed. Arias, 32, had tried unsuccessfully to convince the jury that she acted in self-defense after Alexander attacked her because she had dropped his camera while taking photos of him in the shower. She teared up as the jury's decision was read, while a crowd of hundreds erupted into cheers outside the court. Jurors could have convicted Arias of a lesser crime such as second-degree murder or manslaughter, but instead found her guilty of the most serious charg

However, there’s no denying this fact, Megan Fox will be jumping on a trampoline during some portion of Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action/CGI film.

The use of Megan Fox in TMNT sparked interest among the industry and those who keep up with movie news, due to the falling out between her and Michael Bay during the Transformers series. Apparently, the scars have mended, as the two are back together with trampoline jumping action! She seems to be Enjoying the trampoline. Webpronews reports

She has on a bikini with her baby bump showing and she doesn't look fat at all. The cover mocks the fact that people are daring to call her fat when all that she is doing is carrying a beautiful baby in her belly. One source says that Kim Kardashian is still working hard with a trainer. She is now seven months pregnant with Kayne West's baby and still looks great. She is doing all that she needs to do so that she can take care of the baby and look great while doing it.

Kardashian bikini bump at seven months pregnant, Kim Kardashian is proudly strutting her stuff in a bikini During a trip to Greece last month, Kardashian showed off her growing baby bump in an eggplant-colored string bikini, according to Us Weekly. The trip was part of a family vacation being taped for her reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The photo comes after weeks of the 32-year-old reality star being criticized for her baby body. "There are maybe two or three covers just this week that say I am 200 pounds," she told Extra in March. "I'm like, 'You are 60 pounds off here.'... It wouldn't even bother me if I gained all the weight. And I have the biggest sweet tooth and I love junk food. Being pregnant, I don't like any of it." Last month, feminist Gloria Steinem defended Kardashian saying, "If our bodies are treated as ornaments instead of instruments ... it's an effort to distract us. So don't be distracted. Why both

May does not only mean the end of a school year for students at a Washington high school. It also means May Madness, a competition that pits female students against each other in a bracket to determine who is the "hottest." The so-called "hotness tournament" has become a tradition at Issaquah High School in Issaquah, Wash., according to Seattle's KING-TV. Over the past five years, boys have been encouraged to vote online for who they think are the best-looking girls in their class. Girls are encouraged to "look their finest" during the voting period. The creators of May Madness -- which is allegedly set up similarly to college basketball's March Madness -- are anonymous, according to The Seattle Times. Last year, the contest's Facebook page had a direct link to voting, but this year it does not. School administrators have been unable to determine who is behind it. via www.huffingtonpost.com

Natalie Maines divorce is one of the Dixie Chicks has struck out on her own and released a solo album. Natalie Maines this week released Mother, a rock album that breaks from the Dixie Chicks’ country music past. Maines told CBS in an interview this week that the album has a “harder-edge rock feel” than what the Dixie Chicks were playing. Maines told CBS that it would be hard for her to return to country music after fans lashed out in 2003 when she spoke out against the U.S. invasion of Iraq. “It’s definitely difficult for me to go back to country music,” said Maines. “So, yes, I’m sure that 10 years ago did have an effect on where I’m at right now and the fact that I’m doing this solo album.” The Dixie Chicks have not released an album since 2006′s Taking the Long Way. Maines stated that she has not seen her former bandmates in around one year. Maines also appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America on Monday to promote the Album. She and Ben Harper performed her first single from the alb

Natalie Maines divorce from the Dixie Chicks has been exaggerated. According to an interview the singer did with The Hollywood Reporter on May 8, she is not finished with the band that made her famous, despite her new solo album about to hit. "I am open to playing live shows," Maines said. "I remember Glenn Frey told me once that he wished the Eagles had never officially broken up. He looks back at that as kind of a silly thing to do… I don’t see any purpose in that. To me, we’re the Dixie Chicks. We’ll always be the Dixie Chicks." As for the old Natalie Maines divorce rumors from her actor husband Adrian Pasdar, those were false as well. She mentioned Pasdar in the interview, talking about his job as an actor taking him all over the world, and how they are working hard on raising their kids. That is where the influence came for her new album "Mother." She said that the title, named after a song on the album, was about how she loves the sacrifices s

Natalie Maines divorce for seven years, Natalie Maines has gone almost completely off the radar with her husband, actor Adrian Pasdar, and their two sons, Slade, 12, and Beckett, 8.

Then just all the regular gardening and house chores," says the Dixie Chick-turned-solo artist.This week, she completes her transition from country music expat to acoustic rocker with the release of Mother , out Tuesday. "To me, my roots are rock," she says. The new album "wasn't trying to be anything. It was just being probably the most honest of me, musically." Source: www.Usatoday.com

105-year-old bacon  woman revealed her love for bacon is making news today. The woman says that the key to her good health (well in to her 100's) is, you guessed it, bacon. On May 7, The Raw Story reported that Pearl Cantrell's love of bacon not only makes her happy but it also keeps her going. "I love bacon, I eat it everyday. I don’t feel as old as I am, that’s all I can say. I love bacon, I could eat it for every meal — and I do," said Cantrell. Her age and her obsession with the delicious crispy pork pieces scored her a visit from the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile and it's making her a bacon celebrity across the internet. The 105-year-old bacon woman couldn't wait to tell everyone just how much she loves bacon. Perhaps she shares that sentiment with millions of other people who truly believe that bacon makes everything better -- because, really. It does. Cantrell spoke with a local news station which is what really put her -- and her bacon -- on the map. "

Megyn Kelly Fox News - Two of the best-known anchors on the Fox News Channel, Greta Van Susteren and Megyn Kelly, have renewed their contracts, possibly foreshadowing the first change to the channel’s prime time schedule in over a decade. Ms. Van Susteren, who signed a long-term contract this week, according to her husband, John Coale, may move out of the 10 p.m. time slot that she has held since 2002. That would open up the hour for Ms. Kelly, now an afternoon anchor, who has long been mentioned as a candidate for a prime time position. Mr. Coale, a lawyer who represents Ms. Van Susteren in contract negotiations, said he was not aware of any impending scheduling changes. But in a brief telephone interview on Tuesday, he suggested that she would happily move to an earlier hour, perhaps sometime later this year. Mr. Coale learned in December that he had cancer. (Ms. Van Susteren wrote a blog post about his condition in February, after he had surgery; she did not specify what type o

33-year-old GM hired earlier on Tuesday, word was filtering around the usual NBA circles that the Phoenix Suns were attempting to hire Los Angeles Clippers forward Grant Hill as the team’s new general manager. That potential hire would come on the heels of the disastrous regime of since-fired GM Lance Blanks, and the work of another big name ex-player in Steve Kerr. It appeared that the Suns, as run by former Hill representative Lon Babby, were diving deep into business as usual. It turns out that the team has decided to decidedly mix things up. Former Boston Celtics assistant GM Ryan McDonough is the team’s new personnel chief, and he’ll have quite the task ahead of him. The Phoenix Suns haven’t made the playoffs since 2010, and the team’s roster is filled with middling players with middle of the road contracts that, combined in an unholy alliance, only managed to win 25 games in 2012-13. The team has no coach. The team’s assistant coaching staff mostly quit in disgust last winter.

33-year-old GM hired by the professional basketball team Phoenix Suns on Tuesday after the team fell to the bottom of the NBA’s Western Conference in 2013. The Suns have hired Ryan McDonough to replace Lance Blanks as the teams new general manager in hopes of improving on a 25-57 record from this season. Hiring McDonough instantly raised questions as it’s rare to find a team with executives in their 30′s. Dating back to the creation of the league, only a few men have been named the general manager of an NBA team at such a young age, including Rick Sund and Rob Hennigan. Sund was named the Dallas Mavericks general manager in 1979 at the age of 28 to become the youngest ever to hold such a position. Hennigan is currently the youngest to oversee a team at 30-years-old. He we named the Orlando Magic’s general manager in 2012 and they have stuck with him ever since. McDonough will join the Phoenix Suns after three years as assistant general manager for the Boston Celtics. The newly appoint

Defense lawyers for James E. Holmes, the former graduate student charged with opening fire on a packed Aurora movie theater last summer, said in court filings Tuesday that he intended to plead not guilty by reason of insanity in the attack. Mr. Holmes, who is accused of killing 12 people and wounding dozens more, will enter the plea at hearing next week, his lawyers said. He faces 166 counts of murder, attempted murder and other charges, and prosecutors announced last month that they intended to seek the death penalty. Earlier this year, after Mr. Holmes’s defense team said it was not ready to enter a plea, Judge William B. Sylvester entered a standard not guilty plea on Mr. Holmes’s behalf. But defense lawyers have long signaled they would mount an insanity defense, saying in court documents and during a preliminary hearing that Mr. Holmes was mentally ill at the time of the attack. A new judge in the case, Carlos A. Samour Jr., will rule on the plea change

Lotto mistake $14M - Single mother-of-four accidentally put an extra dollar in a self-service Lotto and was rewarded big time after she won a $14 million jackpot, NBC reported today. Thuan Le, of Santa Ana, Calif., bought $4 worth of Powerball tickets from CVS last Wednesday, as she regularly does every week. After Le noticed she accidentally put $6 into the self-service machine, she took her chances on an extra SuperLotto Plus ticket. With the extra buck, Le purchased an extra ticket that, unbeknownst to her, would turn her into an instant multi-millionaire. Le forgot to check the tickets to see if they were winners until her friend reminded her. When she realized they all matched, that is when she started screaming. “We thought she was joking,” her son told California Lottery officials. “But we thought would she really joke like this? My older brother said, ‘Yes, she would.” To the shock and surprise of Le’s four sons, their mother was not kidding. After first “screaming,” when she

Bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger's son Patrick can’t echo his father’s famous Terminator line – He won’t “be back” to one famous club, after he threatened to beat up its DJ. TMZ reported May 6 that the teen had quite a night.

They were heading out on what was supposed to be one of the happiest nights of Neriza Fojas' life, a party to cap off the bridal shower she'd been celebrating with eight of her nurse friends. Then the women's stretch limousine headed west over the San Mateo Bridge - and horror erupted. Just after 10 p.m. Saturday, flames burst out in the back of the 1999 Lincoln Town Car. The driver pulled over, and he and four of the women managed to escape. But the other five passengers, including Fojas, remained trapped. They couldn't get out the rear doors, so they tried to squeeze through a small window into the driver's compartment. Within seconds, the back end was engulfed and it was too late.
