5 月 3 日来自多方消息称，孙俪已在香港产下一女，而晚上 21 点 52 分，孙俪也更新微博报喜，称 " 等等的妹妹来了 "。
今年 3 月左右，邓超就曾透露孙俪的预产期大概在 6 月左右，而前几日，有媒体也拍到了孙俪一家老小现身机场，前往香港待产的画面。随着 " 金牛座小公主 " 的提前来到，孙俪邓超夫妇也实现了儿女双全。当晚，圈内外不少人士也向孙俪表示了祝福。

据悉，孙俪早已成功办理优才计划入籍香港，女儿也随之获得了香港籍贯。据了解，香港从去年开始实施 " 零双非 " 政策，所有公立私立医院均不得接受 " 双非 " ( 父母皆非香港居民 ) 孕妇生产。据知情人透露，孙俪跟邓超早就已经申请了优才计划入籍香港。去年 9 月跟今年 1 月，有网友相继爆料称在香港入境处 " 优秀人才以及内地居民组 " 见过孙俪邓超夫妇。而在 4 月的时候，两个人更是被媒体拍到办理 " 优才 " 手续的照片，确认是在申请入籍无误。
如果二人 4 月申请优才计划成功入籍，还需要在港居住 7 年，才能正是成为香港永久居民。小女儿则因为出生在香港自动获得了港人身份，但孙俪跟邓超并不会因为女儿关系而自动成为香港居民。日后，只要孩子不在内地上户口，孙俪跟邓超也就不用交社会抚养金。
邓超孙俪现身香港入境处
上月 9 日，多位网友在香港入境事务处偶遇邓超孙俪夫妇，而邓超早前也承认孙俪将在香港生产二胎。
据香港媒体报道，孙俪在港产女后，有网友质疑她选择在港生女是为了逃避计划生育罚款 ( 超生罚款 ) ，加上去年香港已经实施 " 双非零配额 " 政策，令人好奇邓超孙俪夫妇是如何得到一个用钱都买不到的生育配额的。另外，邓超和孙俪在上个月被拍到出现在香港入境处办理手续，因此有可能他们夫妇俩早已悄悄地以 " 优才计划 " 获得香港身份证。究竟他们的女儿是双非 B、单非 B，还是港人 B，只有他们夫妇二人才知道了。

I know I’m being a pest, but just letting you know how much you suck as a journalist for not making even a peep about the Thomson Reuters front-running facilitation scandal. Your the EIC for Wall Street Investigations. If a hedge fund was buying early looks at market moving data from a research firm, I’m sure you’d be examining every angle of that story, every day, for the next year, repetitiously. But now that your employer has gotten caught by CNBC and the WSJ (it was on the front page today, no less!) for facilitating front running, you’ve got nothing to say?

What growth there is in Britain is the wrong kind. Consumer spending grew in each of the last six quarters and is now just 2.9pc below its 2007 peak. By comparison, manufacturing shrank 1.7pc last year and is currently 10.2pc below its pre-crisis peak. That hardly depicts the “Britain carried aloft by the march of the makers” that George Osborne imagined in 2011.

In a lecture at Georgetown University ten years ago, Douglass North argued that the absence in China of the rule of law and strong institutions would eventually lead to a slowdown in economic growth and political instability. The Chinese leadership has been focused on trying to build a stronger legal system and forestalling popular unrest which they believe will begin to take place if economic growth drops below 8 percent. The latest estimates are that Chinese economic growth will drop to 6 percent and then China may be the last of the BRIC countries to face mass unrest with unpredictable outcomes

Much as technology has transformed my life, I still have a “proper” diary — one with paper pages that display “a week at a view”. Trusting a piece of electronic wizardry with my entire future is something I have, as yet, been unable to do. I have just bought my new diary and now have the tedious task of transferring all those pencilled dates from the “2014 year planner” at the back of my current diary into my new one. At this particular moment I vow to be much neater in my approach – and that my handwriting will be made more legible. But I shall fail. I give it a week before it is roughly scrawled upon. And yet, when I sit down with friends to find a day for a meeting, or supper, or a night out, I can flip my paper pages far quicker than they can flip their screen. I sit waiting with my pencil poised and try not to look too smug.

To the public, the “cost of living” is the amount of income you need to have a normal lifestyle. Â What’s a normal lifestyle? Â Roughly the lifestyle of your neighbors.

Sadly, for anyone who loves baseball, the real A-Rod story is nothing more than one of betrayal â betrayal of all the people who believed him when he told Katie Couric on â60 Minutesâ in 2007 that he never used steroids, and when, after admitting that was a lie two years later, he asked fans to âjudge me from this day forward.â Betrayal of the Yankees, who gave him that misguided $275 million extension in 2009 on the belief he would supplant Bonds as the âcleanâ all-time home run champion. Betrayal of his fellow players, who pushed for the strongest drug program in professional sports so they could once and for all remove the spector of steroids that has engulfed them, only to see Rodriguez and his cohorts try to beat the system by doing business with Bosch.

In the â60s, Englert and Higgs both independently proposed a theory of how particles gain mass. This theory was an integral part of the standard model of particle physics, which states that everything in the universe is made up of matter particles. The Higgs boson is the particle associated with an invisible field that takes up all space. This invisible field is necessary for existence, as particles acquire mass only by interacting with this field. In 2012, scientists were able to detect the existence of the Higgs particle.

The rather dispiriting truth of the matter is that the SEC has spent four years and millions of dollars trying to find a someone, anyone, to prosecute in the wake of the financial crisis — and has ended up bringing to trial a guy whose biggest mistake was to display a little too much braggadocio in private emails to his girlfriend. If I were on the jury, I’d be hesitant to find Tourre not guilty, if only because of the synecdoche here: one look at the legal teams is enough to demonstrate that the defendant in this trial is not really Tourre, so much as it is a man standing in for Goldman Sachs as a whole.

But in order to do that, the jury would probably have to have a reasonably sophisticated understanding of what exactly is going on. Which, quite clearly, they don’t.

No one benefited more from the economic miracle than Batista.

Arterton, who won Empire's Best Newcomer award in 2009, has a lovely throaty voice, and a spunky presence that serves her well in effects-laden fantasy blockbusters, so it's not her fault Clash of the Titans, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters were all sub-par. But she was prefectly cast as Tamara Drewe, ferocious as a buxotic vampire mother in Byzantium and sensationally good in the demanding role of a kidnap victim in the low-budget three-hander The Disappearance of Alice Creed – not just stripped and tied to a bed but taking the tricky emotional swerves of the story in her stride.

But even on the Titanic, not everyone drowned – and some never even got dunked. The reasons, of course, had nothing to do with the severity of the problem – the ship did, indeed, sink. Rather, the reasons were idiosyncratic, representing some constellation of privilege and serendipity. The more affluent aboard the Titanic were on higher decks and had more time to await rescue before the rising waters overtook them. Some were perhaps fit and strong and better able to withstand elements of the evolving calamity. Some were maybe just lucky – in the right part of the ship at the right time.

Fitch's rating assumptions: In rating the securities, Fitch has taken the view that investors will exercise the put option at the end of the fifth year (2017) if DI chooses not to redeem the securities. As a result, the rating reflects the banks' commitment to fund Core Partners to meet its put obligations to the investors. However, the rating is capped at the lowest of Fitch's credit assessments of the banks due to the several but not joint obligations of the banks under the credit agreement. Any change in the lowest of Fitch's credit assessments of the banks will result in an equivalent change to the instrument rating.

Enough time for a police officer to get into position to put 2 in his chest And that's a fact. Until we somehow collect the guns from the bad guys, we need more armed good guys in strategic places, including schools.

Sadly, older foster youth perpetuate the cycle when traffickers use them to recruit younger foster youth into prostitution.

Johnson and Rehavi found that non-physician mothers who gave birth in non-HMO-owned hospitals were indeed more likely to have C-sections than non-physician mothers with similar characteristics who gave birth in HMO-owned hospitals. That supports the claim that doctors' financial incentives play at least some role in their treatment of uninformed patients. But there's even stronger evidence for the physician-induced demand hypothesis: it turns out that physician-mothers were about equally likely to have C-sections regardless of whether they gave birth at an HMO-owned hospital. In other words, financial incentives don't seem to affect the choice of treatment for informed patients.
