Why are leap year?
Second, do not years divisible by 100, except those that are divisible by 400 - is the case of 2000. In practice, almost every year divisible by four are leap. The latest exceptions were the years of 1800 and 1900, and the next will be 2100 and 2200. "These standards were established at the end of the century 16 by Pope Gregory XIII. In his tribute, call our current Gregorian calendar, "says astronomer Amâncio Friaça, USP.
Meanwhile, the first to reform the counting of time was the Roman emperor Julius Caesar, in 46 BC still From this season are some explanations for the curious habit of introducing a day more in a few years. As called Julian calendar, the last month of the year was February. Thus, the "bonus" fell exactly in that period, as happens today. "The difference is that extra day was not the last of the month, but the sixth day before the month of March, which was counted twice. Hence comes the name leap, "says Amâncio. To close, let's solve a mystery: you know what happens to people born on February 29th? In registry the rule is register who came to the world on 29 that same date. Theoretically, the newborn only going to blow the sail every four years. In practice, the "leap" celebrate the date one day before.

Alicia Keys - No one
I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Every thing's gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Every thing's gonna be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel
For you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Every thing's gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Every thing's gonna be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel
For you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel
I know, some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know, people will try
Try to divide something so real
So 'till the end of time
I'm telling you there is
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Every thing's gonna be alright
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is
Every thing's gonna be alright
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together

Silverchair
Silverchair - Ana's Song (Open Fire)
Silverchair is an Australian alternative rock/post-grunge band. The band formed as "Innocent Criminals" in Newcastle, Australia in 1992, with their current lineup of vocalist and guitarist Daniel Johns, bass guitarist Chris Joannou, and drummer Ben Gillies.
Silverchair found early success when one of their first songs, "Tomorrow", won a local music competition run by Australian radio station Triple J. The band were soon signed by Sony Music Australia, and released albums to success and acclaim in Australia and overseas. They have won 19 ARIA Awards and have sold five platinum albums in Australia.
In 2003, following the release of Diorama, the band announced a hiatus, during which time several band members recorded with side projects The Dissociatives, The Mess Hall, and Tambalane. Silverchair reunited at the Wave Aid concerts, and released Young Modern in 2007.(MORE)

Los Hermanos
Los Hermanos - Primavera
Los Hermanos is an indie rock band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The group was formed in 1997 by Marcelo Camelo (vocals/guitar), Rodrigo Amarante (guitar/vocals), Rodrigo Barba (drums), and Bruno Medina (keyboards).
They recorded two demos that eventually found their way into the hands of Paulo André, the producer of the Abril Pro Rock festival, in Recife. The band was then invited to perform on one of the biggest alternative music festivals in Brazil, the Superdemo. Their self-titled album, released in 1999, became a huge seller on the back of the hit single "Anna Júlia". The success of "Anna Júlia", in a general sense, overshadowed the rest of their career, leading some to think they are a one-hit wonder, despite experiencing success among fans and music enthusiasts with other works. The song has been covered by many different artists, including Jim Capaldi with George Harrison.
After the success of their first album, the band released in 2001 Bloco do Eu Sozinho, leaving behind the hardcore sound that highlighted their debut to a mix of rock, samba, and other Brazilian rhythms. Bloco do Eu Sozinho did not make much of an impact in the mainstream media (it had only two hits, "Todo Carnaval Tem Seu Fim" and "Sentimental"), but it is still regarded as one of the best Brazilian rock albums of that year.
The follow-up to Bloco do Eu Sozinho, Ventura (2003), was released in 2004, and the band sound was even more influenced by samba, choro and bossa nova. Although these albums weren't as comercially successful as Los Hermanos, they were acclaimed by critics and consolidated the band in the alternative scene. Although those two albums did not sell as much as the first one, they consolidated the band as a cult band; mainly because of their lyrics, considered clever by many, and their mixture of Brazilian rhythms with rock.
Their newest record, simply titled 4, was released in August, 2005, with mixed reviews. The record led the band into MPB rhythms with a more melancholic lyrics and melody.
On April 23rd 2007, after ten years of uninterrupted career work, the band announced a recess for undetermined time span (hiatus). The note on the official website affirms there were no quarrels whatsoever among the band components, the reason for the recess simply being each one's need of time to dedicate to other personal activities. In the same note the band also announces its three final exhibitions on June 7th, 8th and 9th at Rio de Janeiro.

Linkin Park - What I've Done
Watch the clip
In this farewell
There's no blood
There's no alibi
'Cause I've drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands
Of uncertainty
So let mercy come
And wash away
What I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
For what I've done
I'll start again
And whatever thing may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done
I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done
What I've done
Forgiving what I've done
