The sun is out, the flowers are blooming and you've been working out for months to look your best. You know what that means — it's hoodie season. At least, it is if you're Mark Zuckerberg, king of hoodies. The Facebook CEO turns 30 years old Wednesday, so we compiled a fashion guide worthy of his reading list. The hoodie is a staple of fashionable techie closets, as necessary to a wardrobe as blue jeans, black turtlenecks and semi-ironic calculator watches. Exotic, mysterious, zippable — hoodies are so in right now. Unfortunately, not many truly understand the subtlety of hoodie fashion. If we've learned anything from Zuckerberg, it's that hoodie wearing isn't all just "zip up when cold" or "unzip when hot." Believing so could be the difference between success or failure in the startup world. Luckily, we've compiled a Zuckerberg-inspired fashion guide to your sweatshirt summer wardrobe. From the boardroom to the workout, we have you covered on the complexities of the hoodie. 1. The business casual 3/4 zip 
Nothing says "I am comfortable at my place of work" quite like the 3/4 zip. Stylish, playful, modern. Very 2014. 2. The important business full zip 
Powerful, firm and commanding attention, the full-zipped hoodie really shouts, "Please pay attention to the following two hours of PowerPoint slides." Numbers and charts are involved, and you probably have a laser pointer. If nervous about public speaking, try to draw strength from knowing how good you look. 3. The Silicon Valley job Interview 
Congratulations on receiving an interview at a promising startup! While selecting your hoodie style, it's important to first research the company. How do its founders wear their hoodies? Plan accordingly. 4. A job interview anywhere Else 
You should not be wearing a hoodie. 5. The first date 7/8 zip 
For a first date, you want your hoodie to reflect both comfort and conservatism. You're here to talk about your favorite alternative rock bands and admire each other's hoodies, nothing more. 6. The third date 1/3 zip 
Things are going great in your love life, and it's time your hoodie reflected that. Don't be afraid to get crazy: Let your undershirt shine with a stylish 1/3 zip. 7. The workout full zip 
When working out, you want to trap your body heat to maximize perspiration, so let's get those hoods up. We recommend pushing up your sleeves to intimidate fellow joggers with your forearms. 8. The resting hoodie unzip 
You've had a long day. Kick back, take a load off and continue illogically refusing to remove your hoodie. Surround yourself with dozens of 100-calorie snack packs and see how long you can watch House of Cards without blinkinghttp://mashable.com/2014/05/14/fan-cyclist-selfie/.

2014 World Cup host Brazil — the country favored to win it all, but also the country under the most pressure to do just that — now knows which gladiators are going to enter the arena on its behalf. Manager Luiz Felipe Scolari released his 23-man roster on Wednesday, despite the fact that FIFA, world soccer's governing body, does not require teams to submit finalized lists until June 2. (The U.S. national team, meanwhile, hasn't even announced its training camp roster yet.) Scolari could still make changes, but it looks like his mind's made up. Left out are Kaka and Ronaldinho — big names known to casual soccer fans, but whose best days are also behind them. But fear not, fans of the beautiful game: There's still plenty of talent to go around and keep the seleção, as Brazil's national soccer team is known, as entertaining as any team out there. 4 names you need to know These are the hot shots who will dominate the World Cup watercooler conversation once the tournament kicks off on June 12. Neymar Just 22 years old, Neymar is already considered one of the world's most exciting players. The striker is a relatively slight 140 lbs, but what he lacks in imposing physicality he makes up for with quickness, agility and a preposterous skill level. Neymar hasn't exactly been tearing it up for Barcelona lately (although he did inadvertently launch an excellent anti-racism campaign). But to say all eyes will be on him in Brazil this summer would be putting it mildly. Wondering why he's such a big deal? This video should help you understand. Hulk Hulk — yes, just Hulk, and yes, that's an awesome name — will be another of Brazil's go-to goal scorers. Befitting his brawny name, Hulk is a physical presence on the pitch who relies on power and bullying defenders much more the the water-bug Neymar. Just look at the guy: 
Oscar: So with Neymar and Hulk up front hunting goals, who's going to set them up? Oscar will be one of the seleção's top catalysts, an attacking midfielder who plays for elite English side Chelsea. The 22-year old has been dubbed "the new Kaka" by some fans. That's a lofty comparison, to be sure, but here's why it's legit: Julio Cesar At 34 years old, Julio Cesar is still one of the world's top goalies. In this, his third World Cup, he'll be looking for redemption. At the last tournament in 2010, his mistake against the Netherlands meant Brazil got booted in the quarterfinals. Here's a 2012 highlight reel: The full squad Sorted by position; club teams in parentheses. Forwards Neymar (Barcelona; Spain) Hulk (Zenit Saint Petersburg; Russia) Fred (Fluminense; Brazil) Jô (Atlético Mineiro; Brazil) Bernard (Shakhtar Donetsk; Ukraine) Midfielders Oscar (Chelsea; England) Paulinho (Tottenham; England) Fernandinho (Manchester City; England) Willian (Chelsea; England) Ramires (Chelsea; England) Hernanes (Inter Milan; Italy) Luiz Gustavo (Wolfsburg; Germany) Defenders Dani Alves (Barcelona; Spain) Maicon (Roma; Italy) Marcelo (Real Madrid; Spain) Thiago Silva (PSG; France) David Luiz (Chelsea; England) Dante (Bayern Munich; Germany) Maxwell (PSG; France) Henrique (Napoli; Italy) Goalkeepers Julio Cesar (Toronto FC; Canada/MLS) Jefferson (Botafago; Brazil) Victor (Atlético Mineiro; Brazil) Brazil plays the World Cup's first match, against Croatia in Sao Paulo on June 12 at 5 p.m. local time. Its group also includes Cameroon and Mexico. Anything less than hoisting the championship trophy on July 13 will be seen as a massive disappointment. mashable
