Days ago it with a 180km 1st stage at the Passage du Gois, and will end on the Champs-Elysées in Paris on 24 July 2011. The complete race path of the 2011 Tour de France was announced last October 29 2010. The route this year also enters Italy for a short stretch.

The emphasis will be on the Alps in 2011, much like it was on the Pyrenees in 2010, commemorating the 100th anniversary of those peaks first being visited in the Tour. The Col du Galibier will be visited twice during the race and the 18th stage will be the first time the peloton finishes on the 2645 metre top. It will be the highest summit finish of this competition, beating the finish of the Col du Granon (2413 m, near Serre Chevalier) during 1986 Tour de France (stage 17).

For only the second time since 1967 the 2011 Tour will start with a mass start stage instead of a prologue, the last occasion being in 2008. (source:wiki) More on 2011 Tour de France Here>>>

WWE Capitol Punishment Live Stream

2011-06-18T03:47:00.001-07:00

WWE Capitol Punishment 2011 Free Live Stream is a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by WWE, scheduled to take place on June 19, 2011 at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.

As WWE's 2011 June pay-per-view (PPV) event, WWE Capitol Punishment replaced the 2010 WWE Fatal 4-Way themed event. Promotion towards this event was centered around the setting for the PPV, that being the United States capital, Washington, D.C. This promotion, however, wasn't all praised. WWE produced a video to promote the event using actual press footage of President Barack Obama spliced and edited with footage that WWE recorded using actors. The video is intended to show Obama answering questions about Capitol Punishment in a press conference. First airing on May 22 at Over the Limit, WWE received criticism for the video. To avoid legal complications with the U.S. government, WWE added a disclaimer at the start of the video for future airings. This included spelling out their acronym as "World Wrestling Entertainment", a name they moved away from earlier in the year.

The promotional poster for the event also featured the President, where Obama is acting as a referee in a confrontation between WWE Superstars John Cena and Rey Mysterio. WWE released a similar disclaimer for the artwork as they did for the video. NBC Sports gave a mixed reaction to this poster, citing that the cartooned image of Obama gives a truer perception of the U.S. government than that of an image painted of the Founding Fathers.

Matches:

John Cena vs. R-Truth Singles match for the WWE Championship
The Miz vs. Alex Riley Singles match
Randy Orton vs. Christian Singles match for the World Heavyweight Championship
Wade Barrett vs. Ezekiel Jackson Singles match for the WWE Intercontinental Championship

Skype outage – Video calling and chat put on hold

2011-05-26T06:25:00.000-07:00

Skype servers are currently taking a “short break” claims the official website for the worldwide video calling and chat service.

We at the Gadget Helpline started suffering with our own person-to-person communications with the Skype tantrum booting us out of chat, with log-in attempts prompting error messages to appear – and it appears we’re not alone.

The Skype service began to cut out for users across the globe at around 12:15pm following an outage which the company are now looking into after pulling the active service. The Skype website itself is also glitchy and the aforementioned message goes onto say that it was still possible to download and enjoy the Skype software. However on doing this we found no result – only the same error message repeated.

It’s easy to jump to a conclusion after all the recent high-profile server intrusions with big names such as Sony being toppled by hacking and denial-of-service attacks it’s quite possible that Skype are next in line for these kind of troubles, particularly after being bought out by Microsoft around two weeks ago – an $8.5-billion deal which today looks like a pretty disappointing start to the union.

Numerous users have been jumping over to Twitter and using their 140 characters to give Skype a bashing to which the company’s account has responded with “Some of you may have problems signing in to Skype and making calls. We’re investigating and hope to have more details to share soon”.

Are you also experiencing Skype difficulties this afternoon? Let us know at the official Gadget Helpline Facebook or drop us a comment below.

Play Angry Birds in Chrome

2011-05-12T07:03:00.000-07:00

You can now play Angry Birds in chrome as Rovio has announced a new web based version of the popular mobile game for those that just have to play it, even when their phone is in their pocket.

Quickly becoming a defacto launch requirement for any platform (it’s coming to Windows Phone 7 and the BlackBerry PlayBook shortly), Angry Birds is now available to those using the Chrome Browser on both the PC and the Mac and therefore those who opt for a Chromebook when they come out on the 15 June.

Users will be able to access over 70 levels of the game on their browser, and in a move to create some exclusivity it will only be available to those who download Chrome.

That could start a second app war on the browser front with company’s like Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla (the organisation behind Firefox) gunning for developers to create apps for them instead of others.

Still, with a new version of the game now upon us and available to download for free, those that want to keep their “I’ve got 3 stars on every level” will have to do it all over again. Bummer.

Let us know how you get on. play...

Pacquiao vs Mosley Live Fight Predictions

2011-04-29T06:53:00.000-07:00

Recently ESPN posted an article on predictions from various boxing expert on the upcoming Pacquiao vs Mosley Live Fight on May 7 in Las Vegas. Here's what they have in mind on the said fight:

Rafael

Rafael: OK, so Pacquiao and Mosley are fighting on May 7 for Pacquiao's welterweight title. This version of Mosley is 39, near the end of his career and coming off two horrible performances. Mosley is a proud fighter who still possesses heart, a great chin and good power (in his one moment of note against Floyd Mayweather Jr., he almost knocked him out in the second round). It is not inconceivable that he can land a punch on Pacquiao, who gets hit quite a bit, the way he did against Mayweather and change the fight. But this version of Mosley is slower and simply can't pull the trigger with authority on his punches.

Now, if we're talking about the prime welterweight Mosley of around 2000, or even the supreme lightweight champion Mosley of the late 1990s -- who had concussive power (eight knockouts in eight defenses) and insane speed (hands and feet) -- it would undoubtedly be a different, and far more competitive, fight. I could see the lightweight version of Mosley or the Mosley who outfought a prime Oscar De La Hoya for the welterweight title in 2000 having a great chance to defeat Pacquiao, be it by knockout or decision. That would be one helluva fight to watch.

Mulvaney

Mulvaney: Mosley does a lot of things very, very well. He doesn't do any of them better than Pacquiao -- with the possible exception of carrying greater one-punch power. He has a longer reach, but he fails to utilize it effectively, deploying a jab that is little more than a range-finder and loading up on big right hands. Those right hands loop in from the side instead of coming straight down the middle, where they would be more effective against Pacquiao's high guard. Pacquiao will see them coming, slide to his right, duck under them and unleash his left. It'll be close and exciting for a few rounds until Pacquiao takes over, pounding Mosley down the stretch en route to a unanimous decision.

Tessitore

Tessitore: Pacquaio is faster than this older edition of Shane Mosley. He's viper-like with his quick-striking left cross and right hook. He will land with ease against Mosley. There will be moments when Shane makes Manny think about his ability to mix it up with him, and he could even hurt PacMan with a body shot or uppercut. In the end, I see very few scenarios that include Mosley pulling off the upset. Pacquiao by late TKO.

Kenny

Kenny: Against Mosley in his prime? I'll say it would be Pacquaio by decision. Unfortunately, Manny isn't even facing a prime Mosley this spring.

Josh Hamilton Injury effects on Rangers

2011-04-13T07:23:00.000-07:00

Did Josh Hamilton injury affects the Rangers? The Texas Rangers, riding along the first two weeks of the season with baseball's best record, simply couldn't take it any longer.

These guys just can't stand the thought of prosperity.

They need drama to get their juices flowing. They need controversy. They need folks to question their ability to survive.

Now, at a time when everyone was starting to acknowledge they were baseball's finest team, along comes a broken arm to MVP Josh Hamilton. He will be out about two months, the Rangers say. He won't even pick up a bat for a month.

It gets even worse. Hamilton, angry about the injury, criticized third-base coach Dave Anderson for sending him home on the play. Anderson says that Hamilton never should have slid head-first. And general manager Jon Daniels backs up Anderson.

Benicio Del Toro having a baby with Rod Stewart's daughter Kimberly

2011-04-12T06:23:00.000-07:00

Rod Stewart's daughter Kimberly is pregnant with her first child.
The 31-year-old is expecting a baby with Hollywood star Benicio del Toro, 44.

'Kimberly is pregnant. Benicio is the father and is very supportive,' the actor's spokesperson, Robin Baum, told America's Life & Style magazine.

The pair managed to keep their liaison out of the spotlight and were never photographed together in public.

Kimberly, who counted Paris Hilton as her best friend for a time, has worked as an actress and model.
Like her famous father, her love life has certainly been colourful and includes two broken engagements.

She became engaged to Whitestarr rocker Cisco Adler in early 2005 after a year-long romance, however they split May that same year.

During the relationship, she got a tattoo that read 'Daddy’s Little Girl Loves Cisco' on her right hip and described him as her 'best friend, lover and soul mate'.

After their breakup, she quickly changed her ink to say, 'Daddy’s Little Girl Loves Disco.' Adler went on to date The OC's MIscha Barton.

In November 2005, reality TV star Talan Torriero, who was then starring in Laguna Beach, proposed to her after a brief romance.

They called of the engagement 11 days later.

'It is better to have a brief engagement than a short marriage,' a spokesperson said at the time.

She also counts Girls Gone Wild creator Joe Francis as an ex boyfriend and was rumoured to have dated Jack Osbourne.

She famously gave Sharon and Ozzy's son her D-cup silicone implants as a gift after she had them removed. He had them framed and now hangs them on his bathroom wall.

In 2008, Kimberly was caught passionately kissing British actor Jude Law at an Essex nightclub and that same year she dated Welsh star Rhys Ifans. Both actors had previously dated Sienna Miller.

Toro, who won an Academy Award for his 2001 role in Traffic, has had his share of high-profile lovers.

He has previously been linked to a string of actress including Alicia Silverstone, Scarlett Johansson and Minnie Driver.

He also enjoyed romances with Greek-Italian screen star Valeria Golino and British actress Claire Forlani.

While promoting his film The Wolfman last year, he described his romantic life as 'in limbo'.

When asked if he had thoughts of settling down, he responded indignantly by saying: 'Why? Everyone says, "Why isn’t he married?" But it’s like, ‘F***! Why do I have to get married? Just so I can get divorced?'

The Che and 21 Grams star made it clear in his interview with The Times that he didn't want his West Hollywood apartment, which he described as his 'cave', to be 'invaded' by a wife and children.

Kimberly is Rod's daughter from his marriage to Alana Hamilton.

The rocker is now a father of eight - his wife Penny Lancaster gave birth to a baby boy, Aiden, in February.

It will be his first grandchild.

MTV’s Shibuhara Girls Live Stream

2011-01-26T22:09:00.000-08:00

Hong Kong/Manila/Singapore, 5 January 2011 — MTV announced plans for the Southeast Asia premiere of Shibuhara Girls, the network’s first reality drama produced in Asia. Created by MTV Networks Japan and based upon four young women who chase their dreams in Tokyo’s fashion and entertainment industries, Shibuhara Girls will debut on MTV S.E.A. on 5 February at 1300 hours.

Set within the city’s epicentres for Japanese pop culture – Tokyo’s Shibuya and Harajuku – Shibuhara Girls exposes the hopes, heartaches and struggles of four young women who journeyed there seeking stardom.

Marie Ishikawa is a singer whose dream is about to come true as she makes her recording debut in 2011. Shion Miyawaki debuted in 2007 but with her music career slowing down, both she and her record label need to find a new direction. Chinese-born model Sun Wei grew up in Japan and her stardom is on the rise. Though surrounded by admirers, she is single and looking for love. Daughter of a sumo legend and national icon, Kozue Akimoto wants to step out of her father’s shadow and is quickly finding her niche as the model with eclectic tastes.

Against the backdrop of Shibuhara, emotions and dramas unfold as the driven young women navigate the demands of friends, relationships, managers and families on the road to make their mark.

“This is the story of four young women who follow their hearts and chase their dreams. The names and professions of the cast are real. So are their dialogues, friendships, experiences and feelings, said Alan Swarts, vice president of Creative and Content at MTV Networks Japan and executive producer of the show. “Being cast in the production, the reality series is their one hope to scale new height in the cut-throat world of show business.”

Shibuhara Girls is a twelve-part 30-minute series in Japanese with English subtitles.

Known for its reality drama productions, MTV offers TV hits such as The Osbournes, Laguna Beach, The Hills and Jersey Shore, around the world. MTV Shibuhara Girls is the networks’ first foray into the reality drama format based on an Asian culture and landscape – Tokyo’s Shibuya and Harajuku region is the natural selection being the pop culture hot spot in Asia.

Shibuhara Girls is produced by MTV Networks Japan, in partnership with Avex Entertainment and LesPros Entertainment.

CAST:

Marie Ishikawa grew up in Tokyo. She is a talented and upcoming 22 year-old artist from Avex whose dream is about to be fulfilled. Tirelessly working on her debut album, Marie Ishikawa looks to the future ahead with excitement and hope. (Doesn’t she look a little bit like Charice? – Saab)

Shion Miyawaki left Nagasaki for Tokyo in her teens and has been an artist from Avex for the past 3 years. Leaving her teenage years behind, Shion Miyawaki at twenty has big decisions to make about being an artist and a partner to her boyfriend of 5 years.

21 year-old Sun Wei is a Dalian-born model who was raised in Japan. She models for Pop Sister, a popular Japanese fashion magazine that is gaining her mass recognition. She keeps a personal blog and has a huge following online. Sun Wei hopes for a companion to share her success in life.

At 23, all eyes are on Kozue Akimoto not only for her modelling achievement but as daughter of arguably Japan’s most renowned sumo yokozuna. Breaking into the modelling scene in 2009, she quickly established herself with her cool fashion style. While seen as a strong personality, she is really struggling to find her place at work and in life.

Pearl Harbor Attack Remembered

2010-12-07T12:56:00.000-08:00

Pearl Harbor Attack is on its 69th year today. Aging Pearl Harbor survivors on Tuesday heard reassurances their sacrifice would be remembered and passed on to future generations as they gathered today.

"Long after the last veteran of the war in the Pacific is gone, we will still be here telling their story and honoring their dedication and sacrifice," National Park Service Director Jonathan Jarvis told about 120 survivors who traveled to Hawaii from around the country for the event.

Merl Resler, 88, of Newcastle, Calif., was among those who returned. He remembered firing shots at Japanese planes from the USS Maryland and standing in the blood of a shipmate hit by shrapnel during the attack.read more...

Tony Parker Cheating With Brent Barry’s Wife Erin Barry?

2010-11-17T17:47:00.000-08:00

Tony Parker has been cheating on wife, Eva Longoria, and she has filed for divorce. The woman that Tony Parker cheated with is Erin Barry, who also happens to be Brent Barry’s wife, Tony Parker’s teammate! Erin Barry and Brent Barry are also in the process of getting divorced, so we can’t help but wonder, will Erin Barry and Tony Parker start dating now that their marriages are over? Or are Tony Parker and Erin Barry already a couple?

Eva Longoria found out that Tony Parker was cheating with Erin Barry after she found text messages between the two on Tony’s cell phone.

Did Erin Barry start hooking up with Tony Parker before or after she and Brent Barry decided to get divorced? Could it be that Erin and Brent Barry divorced because she was already planning on starting a new life with Tony Parker?

Tony Parker has cheated on Eva Longoria in the past, so there’s a good chance that he will also cheat on Erin Barry if they are, in fact, dating.

I’d say the odds of Tony Parker settling down and starting a family someday are slim to none, whether he and Erin Barry are together or not!

LimeWire ordered to shut down

2010-10-27T05:31:00.000-07:00

In a major victory for the music industry, a New York federal judge has ordered embattled P2P software maker LimeWire to immediately and permanently stop distributing and supporting its filesharing software. In a 17-page injunction (PDF document) issued on Tuesday, Judge Kimba Wood of the US District Court for the Southern District of New York ordered LimeWire to cease the searching, downloading, uploading, file trading and file distribution functionality of LimeWire's P2P filesharing software.

The injunction instructed LimeWire to immediately communicate the court's decision to all users of the software and to all of the company's employees, principals and other stakeholders. It gave the company 14 days to report back to the court on the steps LimeWire has taken to comply with the order.

A spokeswoman for the company today stressed that the court's order does not mean that LimeWire is shutting down and said that it only prevents LimeWire from distributing or supporting its P2P software. It does not prohibit the company from going ahead with its previously announced plans to launch a subscription based music service and neither does it prohibit the company from operating its online store, the LimeWire spokeswoman said.

"While this is not our ideal path, we hope to work with the music industry in moving forward," the spokeswoman said. "We look forward to embracing necessary changes and collaborating with the entire music industry in the future."

The court injunction is a huge victory for the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which has been trying to get the court to shut down LimeWire for quite some time. The RIAA and the music labels it represents have accused LimeWire and its chief executive, Mark Gorton, of willfully enabling widespread copyright infringement. In numerous court documents the music industry has claimed that the use of LimeWire's P2P software by users to illegally download and distribute copyrighted music has caused the industry tens of millions of dollars in losses.

In a ruling in May, Wood found LimeWire and Gorton liable for inducing and enabling copyright infringement. Wood agreed with the recording companies and found that LimeWire and Gorton had engaged in conduct that knowingly fostered and enabled copyright infringement. The judge upheld virtually all of the arguments raised by the recording companies and ruled that LimeWire had failed to implement any meaningful barriers that would have made it harder for users of its software to illegally share and download music files.

Following that ruling, the RIAA ratcheted up its pressure against LimeWire by asking the court to shutter the company and freeze all its assets. Then in June eight music publishers also filed a related copyright infringement lawsuit against LimeWire in the same federal court in New York.

A predictably jubilant RIAA today welcomed the court's response to the lawsuits. "For the better part of the last decade, Limewire and Gorton have violated the law," the RIAA said. "The court has now signed an injunction that will start to unwind the massive piracy machine that Limewire and Gorton used to enrich themselves immensely."

The statement noted that the court is scheduled to conduct a trial in January to determine the extent of the damages that LimeWire should be held liable for to compensate for the "billions and billions" of illegal music downloads through LimeWire. The court injunction ominously noted that LimeWire almost certainly will be held liable for the piracy and potentially be assessed statutory damages that are well beyond its capacity to pay.

Tuesday's ruling comes just weeks after the Federal Trade Commission announced that it was dropping an investigation of the company's P2P software. The FTC said its decision was prompted by the new safeguards that LimeWire has built into newer versions of its software.

Brett Favre Scandal

2010-10-11T17:37:00.000-07:00

As Minnesota Vikings quarterback Brett Favre prepares to face his former team, the New York Jets, the NFL is investigating allegations that Favre sent racy audio and x-rated pictures of himself to sports reporter Jenn Sterger.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says that once the NFL completes its investigation, the league will "make a determination" if the Favre should be punished.

If Favre is found to have violated the NFL's conduct policy, he could be fined or suspended.

Crimesider spoke to CBS News legal analyst Trent Copeland, who said that even though "Favre is a hall of fame-caliber quarterback, at the end of the day, he's an employee." And, according to Copeland, just like any other employee, Favre supposed to follow the rules and regulations of his employer, especially regarding the treatment of other employees.

The texts were allegedly sent while Sterger was a sideline reporter employed by the Jets - while Favre played for the team. The Vikings, Favre's current team, play the Jets Monday night in New York.

According to the website Deadspin, which broke the story in August and posted what they say are messages from Favre last week, Sterger wasn't the only woman who received inappropriate and unsolicited text messages from Favre. The sports blog reports that Favre also pursued two team massage therapists while he was playing for the New York Jets.

According to one of the masseuses, the incident happened in 2008 during training camp at Hofstra University, says the site.

The two therapists, both of whom are anonymous in the report, say that Favre pursued them via text messages - one of the women describes the texts as "just nasty stuff." One of the massage therapists claims she and her husband contacted an attorney, but was told they had no grounds for a harassment case, according to the site, because she was a private contractor.

The NFL said it was looking into the Deadspin allegations about Jenn Sterger under its personal conduct policy.

When Favre was asked about the allegations last week, Favre said his concern was for Monday's game with the Jets, and he was "not getting into that."

What are Brain Eating Vaccines

2010-08-03T14:30:00.000-07:00

A recent article in Prison Planet has again reached the top searches on the Web. This time it’s not about the Obama deception or Youtube censorship, but about brain eating vaccines!

According to the article we are being talked into (by the mainstream media and “scientific dictatorship”) using some types of vaccines that just like a lobotomy, serve to reprogram your brain, so that you no longer have the drive to be rebellious against tyranny.

The so-called brain eating vaccine, developed by scientists, would serve to help us against stress, something that will relax us without feeling slow.

According to Prison Planet: “Scientists are now telling us that getting angry, upset and passionate is abnormal and needs to be “treated” through a fresh dose of pharmaceutical drugs and injections that will virtually lobotomize us into submissive compliance. This is blatantly a part of the full spectrum assault on our minds, our bodies and our nervous system through the contamination of our food and water supply.”

Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding

2010-07-31T13:34:00.000-07:00

Recently the new york Times release this article about the recent updates on the so called wedding on the century, The Chelsea Clinton’s Wedding. Marie Clinton Bruno is here. Her grandfather and Mr. Clinton’s stepfather were brothers.

As she strolled past shops and inns through downtown Rhinebeck with her husband Gio on her way to get dressed for the wedding, Ms. Clinton Bruno talked about how she still couldn’t believe that Chelsea was getting married. Chelsea was a bridesmaid in her wedding at the Governor’s Mansion in Arkansas on Sept. 30, 1990, when Chelsea was ten years old. On her wedding day, Chelsea, who wore a pale pink dress, made sure that her now-husband Gio had the wedding bands and tended to the artificial flowers in her bouquet.

“She was just a wonderful bridesmaid,” said Ms. Clinton Bruno. “She’s just as wonderful today as she was back then.”

As Ms. Clinton Bruno strolled through Rhinebeck, she said the town reminded her of home.

“She’s made a wonderful choice. It reminds me of the Ozarks in Arkansas, except more chic.”

Ms. Clinton Bruno approved of Chelsea’s choice in a groom.

She said she did not attend last night’s rehearsal dinner. But she attended the cocktail party at the Beekman. read more...

Brett Wallace Traded To Houston for Anthony Gose

2010-07-29T17:34:00.000-07:00

The TORONTO BLUE JAYS have acquired OF ANTHONY GOSE from the Houston Astros in exchange for 1B BRETT WALLACE. GOSE was acquired by the Astros earlier today from the Philadelphia Phillies.

GOSE, 19, has appeared in 103 games this season batting .263 for Clearwater, the Philadelphia Phillies affiliate in the Florida State League (A). The 6-1, 190 lb., left-handed hitter has collected 17 doubles, 11 triples, four home runs with 20 RBI while adding 36 stolen bases. The Paramount, California native was the Phillies second round selection in the 2008 First Year Player Draft. In 2009, he led all minor league players with 76 stolen bases while hitting .259 for Lakewood of the South Atlantic League (A).

WALLACE, 23, has hit .301 this season with Las Vegas of the Pacific Coast League (AAA) with 24 doubles, 18 home runs and 61 runs batted in. The 6-2, 205 lb. left-handed hitting first baseman was in his first year with the Blue Jays organization after being acquired from the Oakland Athletics on December 16, 2009 in exchange for OF Michael Taylor. Wallace was originally drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2008 First Year Player Draft.

Tom Back. This one is a huge surprise. We all figured Wallace was our first baseman of the future. Gose is supposed to be fast but this year he has 36 steals with 27 caught stealing. That's a sign that you should stop trying to steal. Off the first look I really don't understand.

False Flag Cyber Attack

2010-07-21T17:56:00.000-07:00

Recently there was a warning by Steve Watson of false flag attacks in cyberspace that could take down the Internet, at InfoWars:

An increasing clamour to restrict and control the internet on behalf of the government, the Pentagon, the intelligence community and their private corporate arms, could result in a staged cyber attack being used as justification.

Over recent months we have seen a great increase in media coverage of inflated fears over a possible “electronic Pearl Harbor” event, with reports claiming that the U.S. could be “felled within 15 minutes”.

Vastly over-hyped (and in some cases completely asinine) claims that the power grids and other key infrastructure such as rail networks and water sources are wired up to the public internet have permeated such coverage.

Threats against computer networks in the United States are grossly exaggerated. Dire reports issued by the Defense Science Board and the Center for Strategic and International Studies “are usually richer in vivid metaphor — with fears of ‘digital Pearl Harbors’ and ‘cyber-Katrinas’ — than in factual foundation,” writes Evgeny Morozov, a respected researcher and blogger who writes on the political effects of the internet.

Morozov notes that much of the data on the supposed cyber threat “are gathered by ultra-secretive government agencies — which need to justify their own existence — and cyber-security companies — which derive commercial benefits from popular anxiety.”

When the Cybersecurity Act was introduced by Senator John Rockefeller last year, he made similar claims about the threat of cyber attacks, adding “Would it have been better if we’d have never invented the Internet?”…

Juwan Howard officially signs contract with Miami Heat

2010-07-20T18:07:00.000-07:00

The Miami Heat announced the expected signing of power forward Juwan Howard on Tuesday, adding to an already deep frontcourt.

"This is a great addition for us," team president Pat Riley said. "We felt that Juwan's ability to play both the four and five spot would be complimentary to what we have put together. He also gives us incredible professionalism and is a perfect fit behind Chris Bosh and Udonis Haslem."

Howard, 37, averaged 6.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 22.4 minutes in 73 games for Portland last season, including 27 starts. He shot 50.9 percent from the field and 78.6 percent from the free-throw line.

He has played for seven teams in 16 seasons and has career averages of 14.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.

After LeBron James committed to the Heat, Howard let the Heat know he was interested in signing and money would not be an issue.

"This is a great opportunity," said Howard, who will earn the $1.3 million veteran's minimum. "I'm looking forward to contributing in any way I can toward the success of the team both on and off the court."

Howard, selected fifth overall by Washington in the 1994 NBA Draft, signed a seven-year, $100 million contract with the Heat in July 1996, but the NBA voided the deal because the Heat had exceeded the salary cap.

His signing gives the Heat 12 players under contract, including four centers and three power forwards. Point guard Carlos Arroyo's new deal is expected to be finalized soon.

2010 FIFA World Cup Best Goals

2010-07-15T17:40:00.000-07:00

Which have been the best goals of the 2010 World Cup? Despite the tournament being mired in controversy courtesy of the Jabulani ball from Adidas, there have still been plenty of delightful goals. Just to name a few that come to my mind are David Villas wonderful run through the middle of two Honduran defenders and how he still managed to loop the ball into the back of the net. And Carlos Tevezs thunderbolt into the back of the net from long range against Mexico.

'The Hills' Fake Finale

2010-07-14T17:13:00.000-07:00

'The Hills' Fake Finale is said to be a big disaster. There is no doubt that 'The Hills' has come under scrutiny for whether or not the drama is "real." Well, during the show's series finale, star Kristen Cavallari said her final goodbye to Brody Jenner, as the cameras slowly panned out to show all the cameras, mics and crew it takes to shoot one scene of the MTV reality show. After 102 installments, 'The Hills' faded into the sunset and said goodbye in 'Truman Show' style -- showing it takes a lot of work to make reality.

Jenner was excited for fans to finally see the surprise ending. "That day of filming it was surreal to me because they wouldn't tell me what we were filming," he told MTV. "I think the show has always battled with what's real and what's fake, and this ending was perfect because you still don't know what was real, what was fake and it's kind of like LA in a sense. I thought it was very clever and I was happy with it. I was stoked they were ending it with me. I was flattered."

So what was actually real on the show? Jenner won't tell anyone. "I would say it's entertainment and just enjoy it; don't question it too much. There were a lot of moments that were real and a lot of moments that were not so real."

The show premiered back in 2006 and followed Lauren Conrad as she made her move from Laguna Beach to Los Angeles to pursue a career in fashion. But in the middle of seasons 5, Conrad left the series and Cavallari took over as star of the show.

Cavallari told E! News that she wants to move on. "I am so happy it's over," she said.

They are currently seen in rotation among the four major networks (CBS, ABC, NBC, and FOX). Starting in 2006, because of NBC's coverage of Sunday Night NFL Football beginning in September, when NBC has the rotation, the Emmys move to late August for that year only.

Spain won 2010 FIFA World Cup Over Netherland 1-0

2010-07-11T14:25:00.000-07:00

The new FIFA World Cup Champ has been crowned. Spain won 2010 FIFA World Cup Over Netherland 1-0.

Andres Iniesta scored with four minutes of extra time remaining to give Spain a 1-0 win over the Netherlands and a first World Cup title.

With the teams facing a penalty shootout in a game of few clear chances, Iniesta collected a sliding pass into the area from substitute Cesc Fabregas and smashed the ball across goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg and in at the far post

The final match-up is set. The joy from being 32 to two is just great, and it feels a stone's throw away from lifting the trophy at South Africa. The first World Cup in Africa appropriately presents something new: Spain as the champion in this year’s FIFA Soccer tournament.

LeBron James Joins Twitter

2010-07-06T14:26:00.000-07:00

Basketball superstar LeBron James starts twitting! The NBA's most ballyhooed free agent opened an account on the social networking site Tuesday. Publicist Keith Estabrook confirms the monicker kingjames is indeed LeBron.

James had been reluctant to join Twitter or Facebook and had even joked in the past about how other athletes discussed their personal lives online.

Close friend Chris Paul posted on Twitter at midday Tuesday that while he couldn't persuade James to tell him which team he'll sign with, he talked him into joining the service. Less than an hour after Paul's tweet, James had nearly 18,000 followers – even though he had yet to make a single post.

Lady Gaga's Circle Contact Lenses a Health Hazard?

2010-07-06T13:36:00.000-07:00

Lady Gaga is almost making a name on anything else. Now her Circle Contact Lenses are the hottest thing on the eye of the Federal Health authorities. According to emaxhealth.com , celebrities have long had the ability to spark new fashion trends, but the latest from Lady Gaga may have health consequences. In her “Bad Romance” video, the singer appears to have wider-than-normal eyes that are being copied by teens and young women across the country using special contact lenses called “circle lenses.”

Circle lenses are imported from Asia and sometimes come in strange colors such as violet and pink. They make the eyes appear larger and “doll-like” because they not only cover the iris as normal contact lenses do, but also part of the whites of the eyes. The look is characteristic of Japanese anime, and is “mainstream” in Japan, Singapore, and South Korea.

“In the past year, there’s been a sharp increase in interest here in the U.S.,” said Joyce Kim, the 31-year-old founder of Soompi.com, an Asian pop fan site with a forum devoted to circle lenses. “Once early adopters have adequately posted about it, discussed it and reviewed them, it’s now available to everyone.”

Contact lenses in the United States are illegal for sale without a prescription, but the new circle lenses are available online for $20 to $30 a pair. Melody Vue, a 16-year-old in Morganton NC who was interviewed by the NY Times, owns 22 pairs and wears them regularly. She said her friends do also, especially for pictures.

Circle lens websites do not verify proof of prescription, and customers can freely choose strength as well as color during purchase. The lenses are also not undergone quality or safety checks as other contact lens are required to have.

Karen Riley, spokeswoman for the FDA, said “Consumers risk significant eye injuries, even blindness, when they buy contact lenses without a valid prescription or help from an eye professional.”

More than 30 million Americans use contact lenses, according to the Contact Lens Council. Because they are worn directly on the eye, they can lead to eye infections and corneal ulcers. Poorly-fitting contact lenses can scratch the cornea or deprive the eye of oxygen, causing serious vision problems and even blindness.

For those wishing to wear decorative contacts, also called plano contacts, the FDA offers following advice to minimize risk:

> Get an eye exam from a licensed eye care professional, even if you feel your vision is perfect.
> Get a valid prescription that includes the brand and lens dimensions.
> Buy the lenses from an eye care professional or from a vendor who requires that you provide prescription information for the lenses.
> Follow directions for cleaning, disinfecting, and wearing the lenses, and visit your eye care professional for follow-up eye exams.

Back to the Future Mania July 5, 2010

2010-07-05T17:47:00.000-07:00

People around the world are looking for back to the future in July 5, 2010. I wonder why a lot of people are seeking for it. It recently topped the trends of main search engines just a few minutes ago. My friends thought that maybe there’s a remake from the famous movie series Back to the Future, or there’s a sequel of the 1990 film, Back to the Future III.

We’ve done our investigation and found out that there is no sequel and there’s no Back to the Future IV. The 4th component is just a long-rumored sequel from the Back to the Future trilogy.

We found out that individuals who are looking for Back to the Future July 5, 2010 are browsing for US Postal Office Service Holidays. Netizens are browsing Google, Yahoo and Bing if USPS is open today, or if USPS is open in July 5, 2010.

Should you know the USPS site, it is possible to check their list of Federal Holidays. After you discovered the checklist, you’ll know that USPS is close.

If you do not know how to locate the list, we took the liberty to find it for you and link it here.

Happy Independence Day everyone!

Red Wings, Blackhawks Bruiser Bob Probert Dies at Age 45

2010-07-05T17:38:00.000-07:00

Bob Probert, one of the NHL's fiercest and most intimidating enforcers, died suddenly on Monday at the age of 45 after collapsing in his boat on Lake St. Clair, according to CKLW in Windsor, Ontario. According to the reports, Probert was rushed to a Windsor hospital with no vital signs after receiving CPR from emergency crews, who arrived on the scene after an emergency call was placed around 3 p.m. ET.

Probert spent 16 years in the NHL as a member of the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks, and was arguably the top heavyweight in the league when it came to hockey pugilism.

Probert played 935 games in the NHL, scoring 162 goals to go with 221 assists. His best season was the 1987-88 campaign with Detroit, when he scored a career-high 29 goals in 74 games (while also leading the league with 398 penalty minutes).

Perhaps his most famous goal was the one he scored on February 13, 1999, when he tallied the final goal in the 67-year history of the legendary Maple Leaf Gardens.

He last played in the NHL during the 2001-02 season (with the Blackhawks) and is still No. 5 on the all-time list when it comes to penalty minutes (3,300)

Avatar: The Last Airbender 2010 Movie Preview

2010-07-04T18:00:00.001-07:00

Avatar is set in an Asian-influenced world of Chinese martial arts and elemental manipulation. The last Airbender is a film by M Night Shyamalan based upon a famous animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. The series was created and produced by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, who served as executive producers along with Aaron Ehasz.

The series follows the adventures of the main protagonist Aang and his friends, who must save the world by defeating the evil Fire Lord and ending the destructive war with the Fire Nation. It speaks about the four elements air, water, earth and fire. Each of the elements is associated with certain aspects. Water is associated with benevolence and adaptability. Earth is associated with strength and stability. Fire is associated with intensity and passion. And lastly air with peace and harmony.

The martial art is the basis of "Airbending" in the series. Each fighting style represents the element it protected. Ba Gua uses dynamic circular movements and quick directional changes. This technique uses centripetal force to generate power, and uses nearly constant circular movement to create angles between the combatants. Hung Gar was chosen for its firmly rooted stances and powerful strikes to present the solid nature of earth. This martial art is the basis of "Earthbending" in the series. Northern Shaolin Kung Fu uses strong arm and leg movements. This technique is the foundation of "Firebending" in the series. Tai Chi focuses on alignment, body structure, breath, and visualization. This technique is the foundation of "Waterbending" in the series.

The plot of the film speaks of the Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. A century has passed with no hope in sight to change the path of destruction. Four nations tied by destiny when the Fire Nation launches a brutal war against the others. Aang teams with Katara a waterbender, and her brother, Sokka, to restore balance to their war-torn world. Caught between combat and courage, discovers he is the lone Avatar with the power to manipulate all four elements.

His last work was The Happening. Apart from these two titles Shyamalan has many other films like The Sixth Sense, Lady In Water, The Village etc. to his credit. Airbender was shot in 2D but to add more thrill and excitement, the film was also made in 3D. Like many of his films, even The Last Airbender is an adaptation.

Ace Tigers Joel Zumaya Seriously Injured

2010-06-29T01:18:00.000-07:00

Ace Tigers reliever Joel Zumaya, who entered play Monday with a 2.63 ERA and 34 strikeouts in 37.2 innings, seriously injured himself throwing a pitch against Delmon Young. After throwing the pitch, Zumaya flailed his right arm around before kneeling over and grimacing. As the coaches and training staff came out, Zumaya's forearm was twitching, and two trainers helped him walk off the field as he held his elbow.

Zumaya has been plagued with injuries before, but never to his elbow. If this is serious - and all indications are that it is - it will deal a big blow to the Tigers' playoff chances, and a bigger blow to Zumaya's career, which finally seemed back on track.

Maytag Dishwasher Recall Huge Recall Of 1.7 Million Dishwashers

2010-06-03T07:55:00.000-07:00

Whirlpool Corp.'s Maytag Dishwasher Recalled a huge1.7 Million Dishwashers because of a fire hazard.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission, which announced the recall Thursday, says the company, part of Whirlpool Corp., has received 12 reports of electrical failures in the dishwasher heating element that led to fires and damage.

One kitchen fire caused extensive damage, the agency said. No injuries have been reported.

The recall includes Maytag, Amana, Jenn-Air, Admiral, Magic Chef, Performa by Maytag and Crosley brand dishwashers with plastic tubs. The recalled dishwashers were made with black, bisque, white, silver and stainless steel front panels and sold at department and appliance stores nationwide from February 2006 through April 2010. They cost between $250 and $900.

CPSC advises consumers to immediately stop using the recalled dishwashers and disconnect the electric supply by shutting off the fuse or circuit breaker controlling it.

Consumers can schedule a free in-home repair or receive a rebate of $150 or $250 toward the purchase of select new Maytag dishwashers. The amount of the rebate depends on the type of model to be purchased.

A company spokeswoman says Whirlpool set aside $75 million to cover the costs of the recall.

More information on the numerous serial numbers involved in the recall can be found at the company's website or the website for the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The recall is Maytag's second of more than a million major appliances in a little more than a year. It recalled 1.6 million refrigerators because of fire risks in March 2009.

Paul Gray: Slipknot Bassist found Dead

2010-05-24T16:58:00.000-07:00

Slipknot Bassist Paul Gray found Dead at the age of 38. There are numerous reports surfacing saying that Slipknot bassist Paul Gray was found dead in a hotel in Urbandale, IA today. KCCI Des Moines reports Gray was found six hours ago at a Marriott. This backs up an earlier post in the Des Moines Examiner. Gray was 38. He leaves behind a wife, Brenna Paul, who is expecting a child. According to the Examiner, the preliminary reports from the scene indicates a drug overdose as the cause of death.

This is seriously one of the most unfortunate years for deaths in metal that we can think of. In little more than a month, we’ve lost Peter Steele, Ronnie James Dio, and now Paul Gray. If it does indeed turn out to be drug related, it’s an extremely unfortunate turn of events from one of the most popular bands in metal. This is all preliminary, but if Gray is leaving behind a wife and a kid that will grow up never having met his dad, it’s the ultimate selfish move.

Forming in 1995, Slipknot burst onto the nu-metal scene with their self-titled album. Known initially for their appearance and masks, the nine-member band subsequently won over many fans that initially dismissed them with their mix of heaviness and their impressive stage show. The first three Slipknot albums have all gone platinum. Their fourth, 2008’s All Hope is Gone, was their first to debut at #1 and will go platinum later this year.
