Petrino Fired as Coach

Bobby Petrino has been terminated as head football coach at the University of Arkansas, effective right away, the school's athletic director told reporters Tuesday. Petrino had recently been placed on paid administrative leave last week after it has been exposed he had not disclosed that a 25-year-old female member of his staff has been on his motorcycle with him when it crashed on April 1.

"Coach Petrino knowingly misled the athletics department and the university about the circumstances related to his accident," Jeff  told journalists. Though the 51-year-old coach had "multiple opportunities" over four days after the accident to be forthcoming, "he chose not to."

Long said Petrino had  a "consensual relationship" along with Jessica Dorrell, the coach's passenger on the motorcycle when it crashed. He added that Petrino had given Dorrell $20,000 and failed to disclose their relationship when recommending her for the job with the section, thereby giving her "an unjust and undisclosed benefit for a position on his football staff."

Dorrell, Long said, was one of 159 applicants for the job.

He called Petrino's behavior "reckless and unacceptable."

Netflix Popular recommendation

Netflix recently raised the hood on its suggestion algorithm, which helps folks who use that video-streaming service to find movies and shows in which they will may not know about but that they would like.

The most interesting stat the company detailed on its corporate blog: 75% of the videos individuals watch are found via some kind of recommendation that the company utilizes on its apps and website. That signifies most pieces of content people end up watching on Netflix are found with the help of a personal computer picture that thinks it know what you want to watch - or via Facebook, for folks outside the United States (Netflix doesn't connect with Facebook in the U.S. because some say the Video Privacy Protection Act prohibits video rental records from being shared. There is some confusion over when and how that law applies.)

In any event, here's what Netflix has to say about the popularity of its digital recommendations:

    We have adapted our personalization algorithms to this new scenario in such a way that now 75% of what folks watch is from some sort of recommendation. We reached this point by continuously optimizing the member experience and have measured significant gains in member satisfaction whenever we improved the personalization for our members.

That's pretty remarkable. But the company admits it still has some kinks to work out.

One of them: Tailoring recommendations to individual Netflix users instead of to the entire household. Often, a family will sign up for a single Netflix accounts, so recommendations at times get muddled between what mom, dad and the kids want to watch. Netflix says in its Friday blog post that it addresses this issue by showing a "diversity" of content that would be appropriate for any member of the family.

    It is essential to keep in mind that Netflix’ personalization is intended to manage a household that is likely to have different folks with diverse tastes. That is why when you see your Top 10, you are likely to find out items for dad, mom, the kids, or the whole family. Even for a single person household we want to appeal to your range of interests and moods. To achieve this, in numerous parts of our program we are not only optimizing for accuracy and reliability, but also for diversity.

Do you use Netflix's suggestion engine - or others just like it on sites like Amazon? If so, what do you think? Where do these equations tumble short and whenever have they gotten it right?

Facebook Buys Instagram for 1 Billion dollas

Facebook has decided to buy photo sharing network Instagram for $1 billion in a combination of cash and stock, the company announced Monday.

It really is Facebook's greatest acquisition ever, in both price and achievement. With about 30 million active users, Instagram has the largest target audience of any startup Facebook has bought, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a blog post.

"We don't plan on doing many more of these, if any at all," Zuckerberg wrote. "But providing the best photo sharing experience is one reason why so many people love Facebook and we knew it would be worth bringing these two companies together."

Started in 2010 by Mike Krieger and Kevin Systrom, Instagram has just a handful of employees assisting its wildly popular photo app, that lets users add distinctive filter systems and graphic flair to photos they've clicked on their smartphones.

The long-awaited Android version, launched last week, racked up more than 1 million downloads in just 12 hours. The release also met a backlash from iPhone users, who loved having an unique hold on the stylish service.

Merely one month ago, Instagram's creators stated they had no interest in selling.

"We're pretty focused on remaining an independent company right now," Instagram cofounder Systrom told CNNMoney at South by Southwest, where the company delivered a talk on its wild growth.

Even several of Instagram's buyers were startled by the takeover. Late last week, Instagram closed a $50 million funding round that valued the company at $500 million, according to a source involved in the deal.

Those investors essentially doubled their money, immediately.

Facebook wants to scoop up hot online companies, kill their products, and redeploy their staff on other jobs. That's definitely not the plan for Instagram, all the players insist.

"It's important to be clear that Instagram is not going away," Instagram's founders wrote on their company blog. "We'll continue to add new features to the product and find new ways to create a better mobile photos experience."

Zuckerberg hard pressed the point.

"We're committed to building and growing Instagram independently," the CEO said. "Millions of people around the world love the Instagram app and the brand associated with it, and our goal is to help spread this app and brand to even more people."

Facebook, which is in the process of going public, ended 2011 with a cash stash just shy of $4 billion.

It's paying large price for a startup that has lots of buzz but no business model. Here's a fun assessment: Yahoo (YAHOO, Fortune 500) paid out just $35 million Seven years ago for Flickr, which stays one of the Web's most well-known photo networks.

Instagram is a free app and doesn't demand for any of its services. The company's founders insisted that would come in time, once they'd built a sizeable consumer base.

Instagram was their 2nd stab at a product. Before "pivoting" to create the wildly popular photo sharing app, the crew was working on a check-in program called Burbn.

"I remember what I'll call 'pivot day.' We sat down and said 'what are we going to work on next? How are we going to evolve this product into something millions of people will want to use?'" Systrom said last year. "What is the one thing that makes this product unique and interesting?"

The solution they hit on was "photo sharing," and the result was Instagram. 

Taal Volcano: Alert level 1

"Alert Level 1" stays in effect over Taal Volcano, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) noted on Sunday.

Despite the fact that there is no imminent dangerous eruption, Phivolcs reminds the community to avoid coming into the Main Crater as unexpected steam explosions may occur and high concentrations of toxic gases may accumulate in the location.

"The northern portion of the Main Crater rim, in the vicinity of Daang Kastila Trail, may also become dangerous when steam emission along existing fissures all of a sudden increases." Phivolcs wrote.

This added that it discourages long lasting settlement in the Volcano Island as it is a Permanent Danger Zone.

Taal Volcano is located in Batangas and is one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines. There has been  overall of 33 registered substantial eruptions at Taal since 1572.

Black Saturday: Philippines

It has always been a tradition in the Philippines to celebrate the Black Saturday the day after Good friday in which many catholic believe is the death of our Lord Jesus Christ. It has been a tradition to go to a beah and perform the so called Sabado De Gloria.

Many devotees, especially those who own images depicting the Passion of Christ, will also be busy preparing for the Holy Wednesday procession on Tuesday, particularly in the provinces of Bulacan, Iloilo, City, Marinduque, Pampanga, Rizal, and Laguna, as well as in many towns in Metro Manila, where grand processions are traditionally held every Wednesday and on Good Friday.

Holy Saturday commemorates the day that Jesus Christ lay in the tomb after his death, according to the Christian bible. It is the day after Good Friday and the day before Easter Sunday. It is also known as Easter Eve, Easter Even, Black Saturday, or the Saturday before Easter.

Tiger Woods Golf Big Miss

Win at Bay Hill like it was 2000, have the world thinking a fifth green jacket's yours for the taking, then show up at the Masters and hit it like it's the bad old days of 2010?
If we're to accept that the majestic ball-striking of two weeks ago represented a watershed in the Sean Foley era — or, a return to the best of the Butch Harmon era — then what are we to make of what happened in Thursday's first round of the Masters?

See the best images from the first round at Augusta.

Snap hook after snap hook off the tee, scrambling pars, two penalty drops, miscues on the par fives and a bogey-bogey finish.
The only logical conclusion is that it's all between his ears.
That the great Tiger Woods isn't a machine, but — like the rest of us — not as strong as he'd like to be.And maybe that he — like us — is still looking for the champion he used to be, wondering if he'll ever find him again.
But it's been 18 months since he started working with Foley, and two years — to the week — since he left Haney twisting in the wind, 'til the coach finally resigned (though he'd really already been fired).

It's true that Woods regressed as a driver of the ball under Haney, but two years later and it's still really all Hank's fault?
"Some of my old stuff from a few years ago," he said. "I've had to try and kind of work through it, and every now and again it pops up, and today it popped up a little bit."
It just pops up? He has no control over it at all?
He certainly didn't on the first tee.
Paul Casey, Brandt Snedeker and Ben Crane walked out onto the balcony of one of the Augusta National cottages to get a good look at Woods' opening drive, thinking — like the swollen galleries around the tee — they were about to see some history.
Their problem was they looked down the fairway.
There were audible groans when Woods hit a snipe hook that wouldn't have gone beyond the ceremonial drives hit by the honorary starters Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player, who opened the 76th Masters a couple of hours before.
It was a wounded duck, low and left and pinballing around in the trees. A hole that can sometimes be reached with a pitching wedge required a fairway wood layup.
But Woods escaped with par. Not that it settled him down as he was at it again on the second, sniping one into a creek, leaving him with a penalty drop behind a tree and a long, long way to the green.
He again saved par on the par-five, but he's got to know there's no winning a major with this kind of hacking.
"On this golf course, you are not in the right place from the tee, you have nothing to do here," said Woods' playing partner, Miguel Angel Jimenez, who was up for the challenge and beat Woods' score by three.
If there was a silver lining for Woods, it was that he got away with a round that could've been much worse; so bad he'd be virtually out of the running.

"I could have probably got one, maybe two more out of that, but that was about it," he said. "Today I squeezed a lot out of that round. Didn't hit it very good at all."
Then came one of those moments Haney details in his book, when Woods paints an absurdly rosy picture he doesn't really believe.
"My commitment to each and every shot — what I was doing, my alignment, my setup, everything — was something that I'm excited about and I can take some positives going into tomorrow," he said.
Positives that he did all he could've done, yet still hit the Big Miss?
Not surprisingly, Woods headed straight to the range after his media interview and stayed there for hours, pounding balls under Foley's watchful eye.
But, honestly, is that the answer?
He had two weeks to prepare for that opening drive, yet fluffed his line.
Maybe the Big Miss is actually more of a mental problem.
Whatever, he needs to figure it out.
Westwood's playing like a man on a mission; a man who's tired of being left out of the conversation when discussions turn to the best golfer in the world.
And Woods' two pre-tournament rivals, Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson, both came back from what could've been disastrous starts to also remain in the reckoning.
Time, in every sense, is not on his side.

Bobby Petrino: Motorcycle Accident

Arkansas put football coach Bobby Petrino on paid leave Thursday after he failed to disclose he had been riding with a female employee half his age when his motorcycle skidded off the road over the weekend — an accident that prompted him to apologize for that and for what he described as a "previous inappropriate relationship."

Petrino said then that he had spent Sunday with his wife, Becky, at a lake and was going for an evening ride.

Petrino said in the report that wind and sun caused the accident. The police report said Petrino and Dorrell were taken by a passer-by from the scene of the accident to a shopping center in southeast Fayetteville, where a state police officer took Petrino to the hospital.

The police report said Dorrell wasn't taken to a hospital, and that she was dropped off at her vehicle at the shopping center.

Petrino, who wasn't wearing a helmet, was hospitalized, but has since returned to practice. He will not be cited for the accident that occurred near the small town of Crosses on a road popular with motorcyclists. Petrino has said he has been an avid rider since he was 10, and the Helena, Mont., native said several years ago that he owned a Harley-Davidson and four other motorcycles.

Petrino just completed his fourth season with the Razorbacks, who have developed into a national contender under his watch. He's 34-17 in four seasons at the school, 21-5 over the last two, and the Hogs finished last season ranked No. 5 after losing only to national champion Alabama and runner-up LSU.
