Samsung sponsored this guy Kenton Cool (awesome name) to summit Mount Everest for a ninth time this month. In exchange, the company had him place the first cell phone call ever from the highest point on Earth, to his wife. What a moment.

See those three stripes? They're called "diva," not pink, according to Adidas. And the white you see is "running white," as opposed to idle white. I know because that's what the box on my kitchen counter says. (They're not for me, mind you, but the little soccer player I father.)
Adidas isn't the first shoe manufacturer to use confusing names. I've seen red called "fire" on Nikes and blue called "ice" on Reeboks.
The silliness makes me wonder: Could shoe manufacturers sell more shoes by using color names people understand? Granted, people don't shop by shoe boxes; they shop by display. But I imagine some prospective buyers have crossed an unsuspecting color and decided to pass on it. I know for a fact that ambiguity always hurts your chances.
That said, is there any proof that unconventional (or idiotic) color naming boosts sales? I doubt it.
Either way, at least Adidas got the hueless color right when describing the above shoes. They call it "black."
They have cash—lots of it.
I'm a big fan of cash. Love the cash.
Insightful article by Wired on bucking offshoring manufacturing in favor of higher yield American manufacturing:
Today, a year since Krywko's decision to go against the offshoring tide, Sleek Audio has a full-scale manufacturing operation that can be reached via a 15-minute car ride rather than a 24-hour flight. Each earphone costs roughly 50 percent more to produce in Florida than in China. But Krywko is more than happy to pay the premium to know that botched orders and shipping delays won't ruin his company. And so far, the gambit appears to be paying off: Based on enthusiastic customer response, Sleek Audio is now projecting 2011 to be its most profitable year ever.
Globalization has been great. But thanks to latency, localization is thriving once more. It's like the best of both worlds now.
I love entrepreneurial ingenuity.
As the value of higher education continues to decline, these are some great alternatives: Start a business, travel the world, create art, make people laugh, write a book, work for a charity, master a game, master a sport. Splendid!
As seen on Yahoo News: "The most obvious way out of this mess is for bankers and developers to build or convert existing units into affordable studio apartments for the masses… Those kind of units created an on ramp to home ownership in the late 50s and early 60s. Instead, residential insiders are waiting for the country to be forced into some big public jobs initiative in hopes that property values can be propped up to levels that won't massively threaten equity. They're waiting for somebody to save them from the market instead of responding to it. Somebody's got to take initiative. Will it be industry or government?"
Jansport sent my wife the above post card, after she returned her nine-year old pack for free warranty repair. Thanks, Jansport! Although I recently purchased a competing brand on a whim, my family will never buy another brand of backpack after this nice gesture. Rock on!
An Amazon.com warehouse. Storefront of course being their awesome website. Via The Big Picture.
I needed an extra HDMI cable for my living room. So I turned to where I always go for such things: Amazon.com.
When I found one for $2.15 with free shipping, I was skeptical. But the 4.5 star average user rating quickly quieted any concerns. After all, the item has been favorably reviewed a whopping 3,231 times on Amazon.
So I bought it.
The fairly advanced cable arrived today, after only a few days. The craftsmanship is middle grade. It works fine. It suits my needs, if not exceeds them given the ridiculously low price. So how the crap can someone make money selling this thing for only $2.15 with free shipping?
It can't just be volume. It can't just be cheap foreign labor.
In other words, if this little guy isn't proof that the Chinese artificially deflate their currency, despite their booming economy, I don't know what is. Booming economies, after all, have trusted currency. Trusted currency results in higher trading prices (i.e. historically high prices for Dollar and Pounds when compared to the rest of the world).
What's a reasonable consumer to do when the global economy doesn't play by the rules?
In China's defense, the U.S. just printed 6 billion notes, which isn't exactly playing by the rules. But at least our currency is rightfully trading at market prices. The Chinese's, on the other hand, is still bottom of the barrel, even though its economy is similar in size and trusted almost as much as the American economy.
Something's fishy, no?
I went to lunch today with an old business school buddy. We always have a good time making fun of brainless ideas while trying to make a honest buck. Today, we ridiculed some of the following business cliches, which are beyond stale and should never be used; otherwise you'll sound like everyone else and influence few:

Every website should be updated regularly. Search engines like it. Readers like it. Your bottom line will like it.
But if you operate a working, established, or otherwise popular website (say at least 2,000 visitors per day), I would never recommend a major visual or mechanical overhaul. It pisses people off. And when that happens, loyal visitors flock to alternatives in mass exodus, as Digg users have done this month.
There are a couple of exceptions to this rule. If your website has a monopoly on information, you can do whatever you want, and readers will keep coming back. And if your website isn't "working, established, or popular" to begin with, you only stand to gain from a major overhaul, provided it's done by someone who knows what they're doing (aka no flash, proper xhtml/css coding, a regular content plan, and most importantly, good usability).
What can you do then to improve or refresh established websites? My advice is to make subtle changes to your design and monitor your visitor's behavior. If the change has no significant effect, or better, a measurable improvement, keep the change. If the change is off-puting to visitors, revert to the the previous version immediately and re-evaluate both your desire for change and your strategy.
I know this holds true on the few "popular" websites I publish. And if Digg is any indication, I know it holds true for mega websites as well.
May all your redesigns be well-received.

The short answer: Since they're coffers are already full, they're complacent. And complacency is the enemy of inspiration.
In my case, once my "business reserve" (aka checking account) is at a comfortable level, I know I get complacent.
So to stay inspired, I guess I need to be more ambitious with how much money I'm chasing—rather than wait for when the heat is on.
Because everyone wants to follow and friend a shopping mall. Way to think big, guys.
Used video games have been around since the early '80s. But they weren't a problem in the eyes of developers until the middle of the decade, at which point game sales weren't growing as fast as they used to.
Rather than blame the safe creative bets, bloated budgets, and $10 HD surcharge (yes, many games carry an MSRP of $60 these days) for the decline, developers set their sites on used game sales. "When the game's bought used we get cheated," echoed one senior official this week, the latest in a long line of whining.
In light of complaints, some game makers are including single use "unlock codes" in factory sealed games, which they have every right to do. Dumb, but legal.
Still, imagine if other tangible goods started stripping features at resale. For example, "Unless you buy this house new, we'll section off a part of the home behind a cement wall." Or, "To see the end of this DVD, you'll need to enter your single use unlock code." Or, "Power steering won't work in this car unless purchased new."
Is that what game-makers are really after? Is that serving the customer and engendering them to your brand? Do video games really expect immunity from the resale of packaged goods, even though that's the right they transfer to consumers when selling merchandise? Because if so, that's incredibly backwards. Unrealistic. Hypocritical. Ignorant.
Obviously the industry is still run by insecure nerds.

UPDATE 2/13 12 p.m.: Virginia State Police emergency dispatch centers fielded 3,348 calls for service. During that same period, state troopers responded to 995 traffic crashes and 904 disabled vehicles across the Commonwealth.
The majority of crashes investigated by state police have only involved damage to vehicles and no injuries.
They report 183 traffic crashes, 83 disabled vehicles, and 513 calls for service in the Chesapeake division.
NORFOLK-The Hampton Roads region had the second highest number of accidents and incidents in Wednesday's snow and rain.
Va. State Police say officers responded to 410 calls, including 178 crashes and 55 disabled vehicles in the area, which includes calls for help on the Eastern Shore. Only the Richmond area had more incidents - 437.
Waking up Thursday, our roads are in better shape than most others in the Commonwealth. Snow turned to rain last night. During an live interview on 13News Now at Daybreak, spokeswoman Marshall Herman said VDOT crews salted overnight, focusing much effort on the Peninsula, and had workers ready to respond if things got bad.
Elsewhere, Virginia Department of Transportation crews spent early Thursday plowing and treating interstates and primary routes, focusing heavily on western Virginia, the Shenandoah Valley, the Lynchburg region and central and northern Virginia.
While roads are open, many of them are in moderate condition, with snow and ice cover on major portions of pavement, said spokeswoman Tamara Rollison.

I expect terry to get a slap on the wrist and it will show up the FA in the hypocritical light hey deserve.
The court came to the conclusion it was highly unlikely he called Ferdinand that, he was on film saying he did not use the words he thought he heard Ferdinand say. Fans were shouting things, Ferdinand was shouting abuse etc.. No players on the pitch or camera's show Terry saying anything racist, just denying that he had. Ferdinand admitted in court he didn't feel he was racially abused.
Ferdinand didn't feel abused, the only person in the stadium and at home who thought he was, was one fan sitting at home who thought he might of lip read something Terry said. That seems to be all you need to end up in court and be branded a racist, something is wrong there. If I asked for a beer in a noisy bar and a black person serving mistakes it for something else, i'd officially be a racist for the rest of my life, my career would be over and i'd lose £2,500 if Terry was found guilty. Even Ashley Cole, someone people see as not the sharpest tool in the box found it ridiculous to be going to court.
Suarez got charged for actually saying something, his defence was that he comes from a part of the World where it's common and more acceptable. I'm not really sure how they're the same, using the direct insult Suarez did on tape isn't the same thing as Terry, so shouldn't, and won't be treated the same. It appears both players are going to be charged with misconduct, Ferdinand for the abuse towards Terry, and Terry for.. well, i'm not quite sure, swearing probably. I guess that means 20 players a game will be charged next year if that's the precedent that's been set.

Hire civil and passionate (great) people
Hiring new staff impacts your organization for a very long time. Will this person care about the organization or himself? Will she be inclusive or exclusive? Responsive or be convinced he knows all? Have leadership talent, knowledge and skills?
Guy Kawasaki in 'The Art of the Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything' says ignore the irrelevant and that can include education and work experience. Passion is far more important in hiring new employees.
There is no 'perfect' candidate
Prioritize your wish list and look at the big picture. Is the candidate a problem-solver, a critical-thinker, a good fit for the company culture and enthusiastic about the job? Look for listening skills, problem-solving ability, a sense of fairness and someone who is trustworthy. All these attributes are very much in the civility camp.
Businesses and industries hire students on cooperative assignments and internships. They get to see the real person at work and judge whether students would be good permanent hires. And if students don't fit, they're gone after the internship. That luxury often doesn't exist in hiring full-time employees.
Hiring great people is serious business
Savvy businesses don't leave interviewing to a search committee. They ask many to be a part of the interviewing process. Potential coworkers, supervisors and people who would answer to the new hire share in interviewing candidates and have a say in the hire. A hire that doesn't fit is a problem for the organization for a long time.
Organizations have long used networking to get information on candidates. Today companies are seriously seeking out alternate references because there are enough untruthful people and bullies out there that organizations want to ensure they don't hire one.
Hiring is not a process to rush through or to take lightly
Not if you want a hire that embraces civility and can bring real passion to your workplace. Those are the qualities that spread through a workplace and infect it to bring about innovation and progress.

The question of how and why such a tragedy could happen to the Griegos haunts family members and fellow churchgoers as lawmakers across the country debate whether more gun control laws would keep another shooting from happening, even though the signs of brewing tragedy are often impossible to spot.
Public defender Jeff Buckels said in a statement that it's too early for anyone to rush to judgment about the teen's mental state, motives or plans. He accused the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department of parceling out limited bits of information that have led to "sensational headlines that threaten to finish Nehemiah's case in the public mind before it has fairly begun."
Sheriff Dan Houston has said he stands by the facts as presented in the investigation.
Griego is facing murder and child abuse charges in the deaths of his parents and three younger siblings — all found shot to death inside their rural home south of Albuquerque on Jan. 19.
Detectives were at the home for two days collecting evidence. They also have been reviewing text messages and calls between Griego and his 12-year-old girlfriend and security video from Calvary, where the teen apparently spent much of the day following the early morning shootings.
After the killings, authorities allege that Griego reloaded his parents' two semi-automatic rifles and put them in the family van and planned to gun down Wal-Mart shoppers. Houston has said investigators have no information that Griego actually went to a Wal-Mart that day.
Buckels, the defense attorney, promised he will consult with mental health experts and investigate the effects of violent video games. Authorities have said Griego liked to play "Modern Warfare" and "Grand Theft Auto."

Goolsbee Says Markets Confident U.S. Will Reach Deal on Debt
June 11 (Bloomberg) -- Austan Goolsbee, President Barack Obama's top economist, said markets are confident the U.S. will avoid a default and that talks with congressional leaders on cutting the nation's long-term debt are making progress.
"The negotiations are going reasonably well," Goolsbee, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's Political Capital with Al Hunt, airing this weekend. "I think we'll find a solution."
Vice President Joe Biden plans three meetings with lawmakers next week in an effort to strike a deal by July 4 that would curb the federal budget deficit and clear the way to raise the $14.3 trillion debt limit. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner has said the U.S. will run out of options to avoid a default by Aug. 2.
Pushing the negotiations up against that date "plays with fire," Goolsbee said.
"I don't think the markets think we're going to default on Treasuries or any of the other government obligations," Goolsbee said. "We're a nation that pays our bills."
Pressure is building on debt negotiators to deliver an agreement. Moody's Investors Service last week said if there's no progress on raising the debt limit in coming weeks, it expects to place the government's rating under review for a possible downgrade. In April, Standard & Poor's downgraded its U.S. debt outlook to negative.
Stocks Slide
U.S. stocks extended a sixth weekly drop on concern the global economy is slowing. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 172.45 points, or 1.4 percent, to 11,951.91 in New York, its first dip below 12,000 since March, and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 1.4 percent to 1,270.98.
With concerns growing that the economic recovery is weakening, Goolsbee said the administration is focusing on ways to spark more hiring by businesses.
"As we're shifting to this transitioning to a growth phase, we want to be for any policies that are going to help incentivize and stand up the private sector to drive the recovery," Goolsbee said. The president won't press for steps "that are of the traditional stimulus form," such as the $830 billion tax and spending package the administration pushed through Congress in 2009, he said.
The White House has taken steps such as trimming regulations and providing help for entrepreneurs, he said.
Payroll Tax
Among the measures Obama's advisers have discussed is a temporary cut in the employer contribution to payroll taxes, people familiar with the matter said earlier this week. A reduction in the employee portion of the tax was part of a deal the administration reached with Congress last December.
Goolsbee said that is "something we ought to be open to looking at."
Obama is meeting with members of his Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, which includes corporate executives, in Raleigh, North Carolina on June 13 to discuss economic growth. New proposals for boosting the recovery may come out of those meetings, Goolsbee said.
Recent economic data have added pressure on the administration. Payrolls grew at the slowest pace in eight months in May, Labor Department figures released on June 3 showed. The 54,000 rise in jobs followed a 232,000 gain in April and was below the 165,000 median increase forecast by economists in a Bloomberg News survey.
Consumer Spending
Manufacturing grew at its slowest pace in more than in a year in May, according to Institute for Supply Management data. Consumer spending, which accounts for 70 percent of the economy, rose less than forecast in April as households felt the pinch of grocery and energy costs, a Commerce Department report showed.
Goolsbee attributed the slowdown to "some headwinds" including high gasoline prices and the effects of supply chain disruptions on U.S. manufacturers following the Japanese earthquake.
Goolsbee, who has been a longtime adviser to Obama, announced this week he would be resigning from the administration and returning to the University of Chicago this summer. He has been on leave from his post as an economics professor at the university's Booth School of Business.
"The University of Chicago has been beyond understanding of my time in public service and my two-plus years working on the campaign," Goolsbee said. "The university, my family, and the president and I have been back and forth on this for several months and I decided this is probably, this is the way that it's got to be."

Congress, meanwhile, is ready to cut cut cut, with the big debate between the Republican-controlled House and the Democrat-controlled Senate being in how deeply to slash. The House in particular wants to target working poor people. And while there's something tempting about cutting off some of the taxpayer subsidies for Walmart's low wages, the big problem here is that if you take away the government assistance people rely on to survive without making their employers pay enough for them to live on, they suffer. That may not be any particular concern to Republicans, but children going hungry is the sort of thing that, in the end, voters don't really like to see happening.
The way Republicans win support for cuts to food aid is by focusing on the total amounts being spent on the program, which is large. But people trying to decide if they support nutritional assistance need to realize we're talking here about school lunches and people who work but are paid a poverty wage. More people may want to keep food stamp funding the same or increase it, but 40 percent support for cuts is still too damn high.

Tim Lang, professor of food policy at City University, London, said meat consumption was "out of control".
He suggested we should go back to ancient traditions whereby meat was considered a treat and eaten only on feast days, such as Christmas.
"Let's go back to where culture has been for thousands of years, which is meat is an exception," Prof Lang said. "If you were growing meat yourself, it is an incredibly slow process and killing and eating an animal is a special day.
"At Christmas if we were well off we had beef. It was a big deal. We killed an animal as an exception, for a feast."
In medieval times, there were far more feast days for saints or changes in the season, and Prof Lang said he was not advocating eating meat only once a year, but once a week at the most.
Prof Lang, who advises the World Health Organisation, as well as the Department for Environment, on food policy, said eating too much meat can cause obesity, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Last year, Sir Liam Donaldson, then Chief Medical Officer for England, said cutting consumption of meat by 30 per cent would prevent 18,000 premature deaths a year.
Producing meat is harmful for the environment as growing animals requires energy and water, and cows produce the greenhouse gas methane.
Sir Paul McCartney has advocated Meat-Free Mondays but Prof Lang said: "I am saying instead of having one day where you do not eat meat, eat meat once a week and have really good, grass-fed meat."

Hello Friends, it is Leslie with Color Me Pretty for January. This month I have been thinking about lemon yellow since all of my little lemon trees are dripping with fruit here in southern California, however I was not sure what I wanted to pair with it for this column.
Then I saw Holly's post on Shane Powers work (his website is here) and I got inspired to pair yellow with craft paper brown, some gray and a little black. Here is the image that sparked some creative projects in my studio…
I printed it out and tacked it to my moodboard and started to think of ways that I could inject a little yellow into my life. Here is my moodboard with Shane's work as the focus.
After posting Shane's image on my moodboard along with other bits of inspiration, I looked to it as a visual guide to help me pull this palette in to my life. Here are a few small ways that I turned an inspiring photograph and a pretty palette into something tangible in my own home to enjoy.
Over the holidays I wrapped many of my gifts with Trader Joe's paper grocery bags. I loved the white hand drawn looking illustrations they had printed on them. Since I have lots of these bags leftover I decided to continue using them for gift-wrap but just turned the paper around so that the holiday illustrations are no longer showing. Even if the outside of the bag may have slightly faded, the inside is that nice craft paper brown. I had fun using an opaque white ink pen to draw, stencil and write on some of the gifts.
I also used Japanese washi tape and some ribbons I had to further decorate my little packages.
I wrapped a container with the paper from the same bags and placed in some of my favorite flowers to further bring sunshine into my home. This is shown on a shelf in my crafting studio.
I decided to add this palette to my inspiration book using some fancy tapes that fit the scheme. Now I can refer to it as a jumping off point for a future project.
I even collected some things that I found in drawers and bins in my studio that fit this color scheme and stacked them on my desk to give me further inspiration.
When combined with pretty yellow fabric napkins, fresh flowers, a gray vase and a crisp white table cover this palette looks sophisticated for a patio lunch or if it's not warm where you live, an indoor lunch with a touch of Spring.
My studio shelves were rearranged to bring in this palette. Some of the books were wrapped in the paper from the bags and labeled them to identify their contents. The "Don't Hold Back" print is by artist Nan Lawson.
I thought it may be interesting for a few of you if I shared some of the art projects I do with my four-year-old daughter since she is often dancing around my studio when I am trying to shoot my posts. It is enjoyable for her to work in the colors I am working in and since it was all about yellow, I laid out some supplies for her to use. You can see her work above. A while ago I came across these two really interesting posts about occasionally setting palette constraints for your children in order to teach them more about color and composition. You can read more about this concept from Uniform Natural and Shin + Sons — let me know what you think and if you have tried this before and with what results.
Don't you think this color combination is a nice transition from winter into spring or even from late summer into fall? It is warm and fresh at the same time. I like working in color combination's that I have not used before because it is a great way to understand new possibilities for projects to come. I hope you enjoyed this series.
Thank you for having me and I will see you next month. – Leslie.
I think we could all use a little color inspiration today! I'm already seeing it in stores here, but mostly in pastel tones for Easter. I'm thinking we turn up the volume this year and make the pastel-filled Easter a bit more graphic and strong. Perhaps mix your pastels with some stronger shades of the same hue (pale yellow with mustard, for instance, adding in some black for strength). These colorful rooms from Swedish magazine Skona Hem may spark some ideas for you.
Do any of these looks excite you? Spot any corners that you'd like to try at home this Spring?

Pantone is THE global color authority for the fashion and home industry so I shared their Spring 2011 color forecast with Real Simple readers today (view it here) because I was so inspired by the palette. Here is a pretty little presentation that I've put together for you to view these colors — maybe as you look at them you can think of which ones you'd like to try in a room scheme…
Over at Real Simple, I also shared a few things in my home since it seems that rather unknowingly, I had a feeling for pink before it was predicted to be the color of the year. I guess when you work with interiors and are around products long enough, you just start to get a feel for things, don't you? You must find this true of yourself, blogging and the internet makes us all feel pretty tuned in to what's going on out there.
Did you know that Pantone has a gorgeous PDF to download each year that is filled with color inspiration for the season to come, from some of today's top fashion designers? Oh yes. I've been downloading it for years. In it, you'll read various expert opinions from a panel of fashion designers who talk about what inspired their color choices and overall collection and which ones they believe will work well together in your closet (my favorite part) — though you can also try the same suggestions in your living room.
Here are some colors that I think work together from the 10 shown above:
- For a mid century modern enthusiast: Mix Coral Rose, Russet and Beeswax.
- For a modern, contemporary home that is also warm: Mix Color Rose, Russet and Regatta.
- For a fresh Moroccan vibe: Regatta and Blue Curacao all the way! Add Silver Cloud, too.
- For a little cool sophistication try: Regatta, Blue Curacao, Lavender and Silver Cloud.
- For some spice why not go with: Coral Rose, Honeysuckle, Russet and Beeswax.
See a favorite or two? What colors do you see working well together in a room?

Hello Friends, it is Leslie here with Color Me Pretty for December. I am really inspired by some of the soft colors used for decorating for the holidays. Hues like aqua, soft lavender, butter yellow and silver. It is a pleasure to experiment with a more subtle hued approach. With the help of a few sparkly ornaments and some candles, I can already feel my holiday spirit being lifted.
Wrapping gifts has always been a real joy for me. I love seeing parcels nicely wrapped and tied with ribbon. I also cannot seem to throw out pieces of nice paper, as I tend to save them all. Lately, I have been into making paper quilts to use as wrapping paper for special friends who enjoy paper like I do.
I use tape to quilt together pretty scraps of paper to make a larger piece of paper to then wrap presents with. The process does not take very long and I like the effect after a simple ribbon is added. It is a nice way to use gorgeous bits that may have otherwise gone in the trash.
I had to include this photograph of a special bag I purchased in Amsterdam in October as it has been hanging in my studio and I have been staring at it for some time. You can see how the palette has been influencing me! The bag was made by the hands of Leslie Oschmann an American designer living in Amsterdam who I had the pleasure of meeting. She is a lovely, warm and very talented designer who turns old unwanted paintings into new tote bags. Leslie also breathes new life into chairs and jewelry. You can read more about what she is up to on her website. Some of her bags are also available at Anthropologie.
It is my wish for you (and me) to fit in some "slow" moments this season as they help make a hectic holiday routine more manageable. Create space for a lingering cup of tea, a little time to savor yummy books or magazines, an afternoon for organizing or at least a minute to indulge in the scents of fresh flowers. Whatever holidays you celebrate I hope these last few weeks of 2010 are filled with joy. See you next year and thank you! – Leslie!

Consider it the carpet-bombing approach. In a bid to obliterate its exec rivals, Audi is peppering the Big Fast Car market in a relentless assault.
As well as the nuclear RS5 Coupe, with its 444bhp naturally aspirated V8, you can get your medium-size hot Audi in saloon (S4), estate (S4 Avant), convertible (S5 cabrio), coupe (S5) and now, with the release of the S5 Sportback, five-door hatchback flavour. Phew.
Like its relatives - with the exception of the S5 coupe, which, confusingly, retains a naturally aspirated V8 - the S5 Sportback gets a supercharged V6 hustling 328bhp to all four wheels. On the road, it's... well, it's pretty much exactly the same as the S4 saloon. And that's no bad thing: the Sportback is devastatingly rapid in an undramatic sort of fashion, and incredibly sure-footed. In short, it's an easy car to go seriously fast in, and isn't even cripplingly thirsty. And, as our love affair with dual-clutch boxes cools, the S5's awesome seven-speed DSG is a timely reminder that the best examples are still sublime.
Like most hot Audis, the S5 Sportback feels a bit austere: the steering, just like on the S4, is a bit wooden and lifeless compared to that of the Merc E63, for example, and it doesn't ride with the organic ease of the very best supersaloons.
Beyond that, though, it's mighty difficult to criticise the S5 Sportback. That's partly due to the thoroughness of Audi's carpet-bombing approach: if you're not getting on board with the posh-super-hatch concept, they'll happily flog you another flavour of fast exec thing. "Need something with a bit more bootspace, sir? Pray peruse our S4 Avant. Sir would prefer a two-door? Step over to the S5..." You get the picture.
The problem with the carpet-bombing approach, as any seasoned general will tell you, is the risk of casualties through friendly fire. In this case, the S4 saloon looks likely to cop a direct hit, as the Sportback seems to render it virtually redundant. Difficult to know why you'd bother with the frumpier four-door when this sleek hatch is more practical and better looking.
In fact, the only reason to go for the saloon over the hatch - unless you've got a incurable fetish for the traditional three-box shape - is if you require five seats: the Sportback is available only as a four-seater. Otherwise, cancel those plans for the third child and go for this one. Er, unless you want something with a boot, in which case there's the S4 Avant. Or you're looking for a convertible, in which case...

Phoenix Suns at Denver Nuggets Betting Preview
Phoenix Suns at Denver Nuggets Betting Preview
Denver, Co - The Phoenix Suns and Denver Nuggets have each pulled off a blockbuster trade in the last year to demonstrate a new commitment to defense.
Bet The Suns/Nuggets Game
Based on recent results, both moves are working out just as well on the offensive end.
Oddsmakers from Online Sportsbook Sports Interaction have made the Nuggets -2 point spread favorites for Wednesday's game against the Suns. Current NBA Public Betting Information shows that 57% of more than 168 bets for this game have been placed on the Nuggets -2.
Shaquille O'Neal looks to continue his hot streak for the surging Suns on Thursday night when they visit the Nuggets, who have ridden Chauncey Billups to the top of the Northwest Division.
Phoenix (22-13) traded for O'Neal at last season's deadline to help the team transition from an offensive-oriented system to a more balanced approach.
The 36-year-old veteran endured some growing pains with the Suns, but he's averaging 22.4 points and 10.1 rebounds while shooting 59.1 percent from the field in 12 games since Dec. 6. Phoenix is 10-2 in those contests and 1-2 in games O'Neal has missed in that stretch.
O'Neal delivered his third consecutive double-double with 26 points and 10 boards in a 107-102 win over Atlanta on Tuesday night ? Phoenix's sixth victory in seven games.
"Shaq is playing like the Shaq of old," Hawks forward Josh Smith said. "And when he is down there making moves ... it makes it tough to defend."
Despite expressing some frustration that Phoenix let Atlanta back into the game after a dominating first quarter, Suns forward Grant Hill sounded confident about the team's progress in its first season under coach Terry Porter.
"We talked in November and December that we were a work in progress," Hill said. "I think we're here now. We're confident. We feel better about ourselves than we did four or six weeks ago."
The Nuggets (26-13) have had a smoother transition to their newcomer, going 25-10 since acquiring Billups from Detroit on Nov. 3.
Billups has averaged 22.0 points and 6.4 assists over his last seven games, leading Denver to a 6-1 record despite the absence of Carmelo Anthony for the last three. Anthony's expected to miss at least two more weeks with a broken bone in his shooting hand.
Billups scored 23 points and made two free throws with 2.2 seconds remaining to give Denver a 99-97 win over Dallas on Tuesday night. He deflected some of the praise toward Dahntay Jones and Chris Andersen, role players that combined for 31 points and 11-for-13 shooting.
"Those guys won the game for us," Billups said. "It came down to (my) play, but without those guys we don't win this ballgame."
The Suns, who have lost their last three games in Denver by an average of 14.4 points, won their first meeting with the Nuggets this season. Amare Stoudemire scored 27 points to lead four Suns players with at least 16 in the 108-101 victory Dec. 20.
Suns point guard Steve Nash scored eight straight points in the final three minutes to seal the win, and O'Neal added 19 points and nine rebounds.
Billups had 18 points and eight assists while committing a season-high seven turnovers in that game, but the Nuggets' star was Nene, who went 9-for-12 from the field and had 20 points and 15 rebounds.
Beginning with that contest, the Brazilian center is averaging 17.6 points and 9.5 boards while shooting 65.5 percent over his last 12 games.

Thank You for Giving Hope Through the Free Clinic!
John, a Free Clinic patient, who finds shelter at the Mission, and serves as part of the Mission's volunteer extension program, is grateful for expert, compassionate care. He admits, "The cartilage in my knee is gone; bone is rubbing against bone. Dr. Westphal is referring me to a specialist."
Praise God! With many generous donations of time, expertise and finances, the renovation of the new Free Clinic space has been completed. The three part-time staff and over 100 volunteers in this department are thrilled to have moved in.
Uninsured men and women who have medical needs without resources or insurance, find care Tuesdays and Fridays and Thursday evenings. Men like Bobby.
Bobby is a 56 year old patient who admits, "Six years ago I was homeless and addicted." He found shelter and hope at the Rescue Mission and has been sober for five and a half years. He testifies, "I'm a sinner saved by God's grace."
About two years ago he fell at home and fractured his neck, damaging his spine. Without insurance, Bobby was in chronic pain when he came to the Free Clinic. He received a neck brace, a cane. Our nurse practitioner checked on him regularly, helped him with paperwork to receive Charity Care, SS disability, and finally convinced him to take an ambulance to the hospital when his condition worsened. He was hospitalized for four weeks for surgery. A neurologist at Albany Med, Dr. Wymer, who also volunteers at the Free Clinic, monitors his care every month.
Bobby adds, "I really like the holistic care I receive here; prayer is part of every visit. I don't know where I'd be without the Free Clinic. The care, medications and help I've received is amazing. God bless you all."
Thank you, thank you for making a difference to John, Bobby and hundreds more. You are partners in hope!

Lady Gaga + Kendrick Lamar Collaboration 'PartyNauseous' Surfaces
The Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar collaboration "PartyNauseous" finally made its way onto the Internet.
Celebrated as much for her outrageous persona as she is for her many dance-pop gems, Lady Gaga has turned constant creative reinvention into an art form of its own. Her 24/7 performance art and endless supply of outlandish outfits – including a meat dress and a giant egg – have been unable to disguise the fact that underneath it all, she is a gifted singer-songwriter with an ear for writing hits. Born Stefani Germanotta in 1986, the New York native wrote songs for others before being discovered by Akon. Gaga won Grammys for her 2008 debut album, 'The Fame,' and its single, 'Poker Face.' Her EP 'The Fame Monster' spawned mega-hits 'Bad Romance' and 'Telephone' (featuring Beyonce), as well as the record-breaking Monster Ball Tour. The LGBT activist promoted a message of acceptance with her second full-length album, 'Born This Way.' Hip surgery sidelined Mother Monster in 2012, but she was soon back in action with 'ARTPOP.'
The Lady Gaga and Kendrick Lamar collaboration "PartyNauseous" finally made its way onto the Internet.
It's only been a few months since Lady Gaga first announced her engagement to Taylor Kinney and she already has an army of designers at her disposal, all of whom have prepared sketches for her future wedding dress.
Sometimes celebrities say some pretty inspiring things — we've compiled some of our favorites.
