It's Showtime's latest 'Dark Dreamer' is Christopher Graham or Chris Graham, a 21-year-old Filipino-Canadian musician/entrepreneur Atenista from Cebu. Chris sang Crazy Little Thing Called Love together with another singing heartthrob, Markki Stroem.

Vice Ganda expressed his admiration for the young musician and the comedian host even took a peek inside the Dark Dreamer's booth just to have a glimpse of what Chris looked like. He shared earlier that he did not feel a spark when he first saw Chris but after the 'Dark dreamer' performed, Vice had a change of heart and said that Chris is very handsome on TV, more so in person.

Chris Graham is the most handsome (total package) 'Dark Dreamer' ever revealed to date but to tell you girls, he's already married to Baihana member Anna Achacoso-Graham. However, if you want to book him for events and concerts, you may contact him at cellphone number 0928-757-0779.

6.6 earthquake jolts China's Xinjiang, 24 injured

Beijing: A powerful 6.6 magnitude quake jolted northwest China's remote Xinjiang region on Saturday, causing widespread damage to residential buildings and leaving at least 24 people injured.

Strong tremors were felt around 5.07 am local time in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, shaking residents out of their beds and leading to temporary power outages.

The epicenter was found to be in a mountainous area along the border of Hejing and Xinyuan counties, according to the China Earthquake Networks Centre (CENC).

A large number of residential houses were toppled or damaged in Xinyuan county, and hundreds of cattle were killed after their sheds collapsed, a statement from the government of Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, which administers Xinyuan, said.

The quake also triggered landslides and cave-ins on several national and regional highways in Xinjiang, bringing traffic to a halt, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.

At least 24 people have been injured in the quake, local authorities said. The CENC has launched a level-three emergency response following the quake and local authorities have sent work teams and organised rescue efforts in affected areas.

Experts said the quake-hit region, located about 3,500 metres above sea level, was geologically active in history. Two earthquakes measuring more than 7 on the Richter scale have jolted the region since 1900.

3 PH universities among world’s best English-teaching schools

MANILA, Philippines – Three Philippine Universities are among the top 50 universities in the world when it comes to teaching English according to a new survey by the London-based research and ratings firm Quacquarelli Symonds (QS).

In a statement sent to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, QS said the country’s “specialist strength” in the English language was affirmed in results of its latest World University Rankings by Subject, an index that rates universities across 29 disciplines.

Ateneo de Manila University posted the highest rating of all Philippine schools, ranking 24th in English language and literature. University of the Philippines ranked 32 while De La Salle University ranked 44th.
World-renowned universities in the United Kingdom and the United States took the top five spots (in this order): Cambridge, Harvard, Oxford, Yale and University of California Berkeley.

“The specialist strengths of Philippine universities in English language and literature are clearly shown in these rankings. The country should be proud of their achievements,” Ben Sowter, QS research chief, said in the statement sent to the Inquirer.

The Philippines rated in only one other discipline, with UP placing within the 101-150 bracket in Geography.
QS ranked schools on 29 subjects “based on academic reputation, employer reputation, and citations per paper,” QS said.

Amid strong showing in English, Philippine universities have been slipping in world rankings in the past few years.

Blackberry 10 delayed until 2013

Already facing bleak sales and earnings, BlackBerry maker Research In Motion may risk another beating as it announced its BlackBerry 10 operating system may be delayed until 2013.

 

RIM admitted during a “disastrous” quarterly earnings report that work on BlackBerry 10 had taken longer than expected, according to a report on tech site TechRadar.com.

“RIM’s development teams are relentlessly focused on ensuring the quality and reliability of the platform and I will not compromise the product by delivering it before it is ready. I am confident that the first BlackBerry 10 smartphones will provide a ground-breaking next generation smartphone user experience,” it quoted CEO Thorsten Heins as saying.

 

“The reception of the BlackBerry 10 platform by our key carrier partners has been very positive and they are looking forward to going to market with BlackBerry 10 smartphones in the first quarter of calendar 2013,” he added.

 

But TechRadar.com said the announcement could be a staggering blow that will send RIM’s ever-dwindling share price further into the doldrums.

 

It noted the next-generation OS has been regarded as the only thing which can save RIM from the smartphone abyss - RIM already announced a restructuring effort will now see a total cull of 5,000 jobs.

 

“The big question now is can the company survive in its current form until the first BB10 handsets reach the hands of its remaining loyal users? That lifeboat in the middle of the shark-infested ocean now seems a lot further away,” TechRadar.com said.
