Patrice Rushen - Forget Me Nots the original men in black

RIO de Janeiro will host the 2016 Olympic Games with red-hot favourite Chicago - backed by US President Barack Obama - eliminated early. The International Olympic Committee announced its decision overnight, with Rio becoming the first South American city to stage the Olympics after seeing off Madrid in the final round of voting. The outcome followed a tense final day of lobbying of IOC members. "It's unbelievable, overwhelming, spectacular," beamed Rio Governor Sergio Cabral after his city won the final round of voting by 66-32. Brazilian president Luiz Inacio 'Lula' da Silva - whose country will also stage the 2014 football World Cup and who gave a stunning speech at Friday's presentation - said history had been made. "Today Rio and Brazil presented their case to the IOC and they said an overwhelming 'yes'. It's an historic day in the life of Brazil," he said. "I'm 63 and have seen many things in my life and thought I could never get emotional but suddenly I'm crying more than any other person. "You have to understand we come from a country that was colonised and so we have a habit of thinking small with the feeling that we didn't matter. "So, when Danish television had all these images of Mr Obama arriving at Copenhagen airport this morning, people said to me: 'Oh, he's arrived, we're going to lose'." Chicago was sensationally eliminated in the very first round of voting after garnering a paltry 18 votes out of 94. It was quickly followed in the second stage by Tokyo, the only city of the four candidates to have previously hosted the Games. Chicago's defeat came despite the intervention of Mr Obama, who had flown in on Friday morning to appear at the city's final presentation. But, even his powerful presence - as well as the energetic lobbying of his wife Michelle - failed to sway the members. "We fought a good fight and I am very proud of the team and the campaign," said Chicago bid chief Pat Ryan. "Some you win, some you lose. That's the way it goes. "I have no idea why we went out so early. The IOC members will have to ask themselves that question." White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters aboard Air Force One as Mr Obama returned home: "The president is disappointed as you might imagine." In Rio, tens of thousands of people partied on the iconic beach of Copacabana when IOC president Jacques Rogge revealed the winner. Brazil football legend Pele was in tears. "I'm a very emotional guy and I have been crying ever since I heard the result. This is a great moment not only for Brazil but for South America. In terms of how it compares to a World Cup this is like another goal," he said. Henrique Meirelles, president of the Brazil Central Bank, said that they had managed to convince the IOC that they were sound financially. "We were optimistic and very well prepared. This has been a lot of hard work but there is a lot more of that over the next seven years. Our economic situation played well." In Washington, a top White House advisor rejected the notion that Chicago's failure represented a personal humiliation for Mr Obama. "Obviously, it was disappointing," the President's senior political advisor David Axelrod told CNN. "The President made a very strong appeal, and it didn't work out. "I don't view this as a repudiation of the President or the First Lady - there are politics everywhere and there (was) politics inside that room." Madrid bid chief Mercedes Coghen, captain of the Spain field hockey team that won gold in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, accepted a painful defeat. "I have a very sad reaction," said the 47-year-old. "That's the way it has got to be. It was a very good bid." For Madrid, the presence of 89-year-old former IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch helped secure vital votes. His plea that 'his days on earth were numbered' struck a chord for many of the members who owed their positions to him during his controversial but highly successful tenure. The elimination of Chicago and Tokyo set up an intriguing head-to-head between two of the giants of sports administration - Mr Samaranch and former FIFA President Joao Havelange, who - looking far younger than his 93 years - promised to invite people to a massive party in Rio in 2016 when he will be 100. Meanwhile, Associated Press reporter Julie Pace, filing from onboard Air Force One, reported that President Obama's chief spokesman said Mr Obama was disappointed that Chicago missed getting the 2016 Olympic Games but did not regret putting so much on the line to argue for it, Friday. Talking to reporters aboard Air Force One as President Obama and his wife Michelle flew back to Washington, Robert Gibbs said Mr Obama felt "obviously proud of his wife for the presentation that she made". Mrs Obama had gone to Copenhagen ahead of her husband and had lobbied hard for the Summer Games to be brought to her hometown and his adopted hometown. Mr Gibbs said the president "would never shy away from travelling anywhere, talking to anyone about this country", confirming that President Obama got the news of the decision while watching TV alone in his quarters on the presidential jet. Chicago's early exit from finalist balloting represented a personal setback for Mr Obama and a painful defeat for Chicago, America's most prominent Midwestern city. Many people had assumed Chicago would be a finalist. But International Olympic Committee members eliminated it only hours after Mr Obama and his wife urged them to send the Summer Games there. Mr Obama had put his personal prestige on the line and his political capital at risk when he decided late in the competition to go to Copenhagen and make a personal appeal. In making his pitch, President Obama had said that a nation shaped by the people of the world "wants a chance to inspire it once more". Never before had a US president made such an in-person appeal, and Mr Obama's critics will doubtlessly see the vote as a sign of his political shortcomings. The President's whirlwind trip put him in the Danish capital for less than five hours on Friday, with Chicago-backers hoping that would be sufficient to give his adopted home town the advantage it needed to win the close, four-way race to become the host city of the 2016 Summer Games. - Additional reporting AP How the voting unfolded How the voting progressed in the race to host the 2016 Olympic Games, which was won by Rio de Janeiro: 1st round Madrid - 28 Rio - 26 Tokyo - 22 Chicago 18 - eliminated 2nd round Rio - 46 Madrid - 29 Tokyo 20 - eliminated Abstention - 1 3rd round Rio - 66 Madrid - 32 Abstention - 1 http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,26159205-10389,00.html interesting choice for sure!

One of Hip Hop's earliest radio allies, pioneering deejay John "Mr. Magic" Rivas died, which has been confirmed by numerous sources in and around the Rap industry. In addition to being one of the culture's gatekeepers through his position at radio station at 105.9 WHBI FM, Mr. Magic is considered to be a co-founder of The Juice Crew, the legendary 1980s outfit of Marley Marl, MC Shan Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Roxanne Shante, Fly Ty Williams, Biz Markle, Craig G, TJ Swan, Masta Ace and Tragedy Khadafi. The Mr. Magic Disco Showcase, his radio show since 1979, evolved to Mr. Magic's Rap Attack, a show on WBLS in 1983. This program was responsible for branding many of the Juice Crew members, and proved to be an instrumental platform in the feud between The Bronx and Queens, as scene by numerous records from Boogie Down Productions, MC Shan and Roxanne Shante. Magic released numerous Rap compilations in the late 1980s and early '90s, profiling numerous rappers that he had cosigned throughout his deejaying tenure. The trio of Notorious B.I.G. ("Juicy"), Nas ("Halftime") and 2Pac ("Old School"). From 1985 through 1989, Mr. Magic released over five volumes of Mr. Magic's Rap Attack on Profile Records. These releases were compilations of popular Rap songs on independent labels. In recent years, Mr. Magic most notably hosted Wildstyle Pirate Radio on Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

LONDON – An amateur treasure hunter prowling English farmland with a metal detector stumbled upon the largest Anglo-Saxon treasure ever found, a massive seventh-century hoard of gold and silver sword decorations, crosses and other items, British archaeologists said Thursday. One expert said the treasure found by 55-year-old Terry Herbert would revolutionize understanding of the Anglo-Saxons, a Germanic people who ruled England from the fifth century until the Norman conquest in 1066. Another said the find would rank among Britain's best-known historic treasures. "This is just a fantastic find completely out of the blue," Roger Bland, who managed the cache's excavation, told The Associated Press. "It will make us rethink the Dark Ages." The Anglo-Saxons, a group of Germanic tribes, gradually invaded England by sea starting in the fifth century in the wake of the collapse of the Roman Empire. Originally, they came from what is now the coastal region of northwest Germany. Their artisans made striking objects out of gold and enamel and created poetry including "Beowulf," an anonymous epic poem about a warrior who does battle with monsters and a dragon. Archaeologist Kevin Leahy, who catalogued the find, said the stash appeared to be war loot and included dozens of pommel caps — decorative elements attached to the knobs of sword handles. He noted that "Beowulf" contains a reference to warriors stripping the pommels of their enemies' weapons as mementoes. But much other Anglo-Saxon literature and artwork has been lost through warfare, looting, upheavals and the passage of time, leaving scanty evidence for scholars of the period. Bland said the hoard was unearthed in what was once Mercia, one of five main Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, and is thought to date to 675-725 AD. The hoard consists of at least 650 items of gold and 530 silver objects weighing more than 2.2 pounds (1 kilo), along with some copper alloy, garnets and glass. A total of 1,345 items have been examined by experts and 56 lumps of earth were found to contain metal artifacts detected by an X-ray machine, meaning the total will likely rise to about 1,500. Most of the objects are ornaments for weapons and other military artifacts, some inlaid with precious stones. "I think wealth of this kind must have belonged to a king but we cannot say that for absolute certain," Bland said. Leslie Webster, the former curator of Anglo-Saxon archaeology at the British Museum, said the amount of gold uncovered — about 11 pounds (5 kilograms) — suggested that early medieval England was a far wealthier place than previously believed. She also said the crosses and other religious artifacts mixed in with the mainly military items, might shed new light on the relationship between Christianity and warfare among the Anglo-Saxons. Herbert, from the western English town of Burntwood, found the gold on a friend's farm on July 5 and spent the next five days scouring the field for the rest of the hoard, recovering the first items before professional archaeologists took over the excavation. "Imagine you're at home and somebody keeps putting money through your letterbox, that was what it was like," Herbert said. "I was going to bed and in my sleep I was seeing gold items." The hoard was officially declared treasure by a coroner, which means it will now be valued by a committee of experts and offered up for sale to a museum. Proceeds would be split 50-50 between Herbert and his farmer friend, who has not been identified. The find's exact location is being kept secret to deter looters. Bland said he could not give a precise figure for the worth of the hoard, but he said the treasure hunter could be in line for a "seven-figure sum." Herbert said the experience had been "more fun than winning the lottery," adding that one expert likened his discovery to finding Tutankhamen's tomb. "I just flushed all over when he said that. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up," Herbert said. The treasure is in storage at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. Some of the items are due to go on display starting Friday. One of the most intriguing objects in hoard is a small strip of gold inscribed with a warlike Latin quotation from the Old Testament, which translates as: "Rise up, O Lord, and may thy enemies be dispersed and those who hate thee be driven from thy face." The strip may have been fastened to a shield or a sword belt. Bland said archaeologists were still baffled by the function of many of the pieces. "There's lots of mystery in it," he said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090924/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_anglo_saxon_gold amazing find
