Once a year Tim "The Sports Hernia" Ryan and Stephen "Cousins of 'CRM' Ron Mexico" Douglas write a post about the stuff they can remember from the previous year. They will count down the biggest, most annoying, over-covered and run-into-the-ground stories that we've had the pleasure of arguing about that year. This is that post and we are those people.
5. Landon Donovan, Team USA and the World Cup
TSH - This video gives me chills every time. God bless Ian Darke. Simply amazing. This compilation of reactions is pretty great too.
CRM - Team USA gave us some real goosebump moments. The entire World Cup was awesome. There is nothing better than sports being on at 10am. Add in the jingoism, huge outdoor viewing parties and a good old U-S-A! chant and you've got the recipe for awesomeness.
4. Tiger Woods
CRM - His personal life certainly fell apart. So, that's something. While this story originally broke at the end of 2009, the first half of this year was full of Tiger's mistresses coming out. There were more cocktail waitresses than I can even be bothered to recall.
TSH - Tiger didn't win anything in 2010, thus making golf incredibly boring and irrelevant. Come on Tiger, we need ya.
3. The Big Lead
TSH – What else can you say other than standing ovay?
CRM – I'm still angry that I wasn't privy to the negotiations. Coulda got some extra figures. And yes, this one falls in the dong category. Not because we're dicks, but because the blogosphere's thirst for athlete dong is what pays the bills. I don't pretend to understand it.
2. LeBron's Decision
CRM - I know I could have written about this a few more times. In summation, I like LeBron, didn't like the way he informed us of his decision and love watching him play. It doesn't hurt that I get to see the pain of Cleveland front and center.
TSH - LeBron James signed with the Miami Heat. LeBallerina James took his dancing skills to Miami. LeBronald James stained his legacy forever. Whatever. LeBron's "Decision" special taught me how not to shave and how not to dress. If you were fortunate enough to take away two life lessons of equal importance, consider yourself victorious. If you burned a LeBron jersey following his decision, just get the rest over with and light yourself on fire.
1. Brett Favre's Penis
TSH - Brett Favre ending the Vikings Super Bowl hopes with a scrotum-stomping interception, texting pictures of his dong to Jenn Sterger, and him laying dead on the field in Minnesota a couple weeks ago wraps up one hell of a year for the relentlessly horny quarterback. Looking back, it's probably best he retire.
CRM - This story was huge. The subject matter was not. Hi-yo! Seriously, feel free to use that at parties this weekend. Oh, and don't forget to watch Numb3rs. Whatever that is.
Honorable Mention: Delonte and LeBron's Moms… Rex Ryan and everything the Jets did to annoy us… Cam Newton… Ben Roethlisberger's bathroom exploits… Arianny Celeste in Playboy… Brett Favre and LeBron James… Did Erin Andrews do something this year?… John Shuster!

TMZ has revealed that Ken Shamrock is now a bodyguard, and the former UFC champion was spotted at an event in Las Vegas protecting 50 Cent. Shamrock is actually working for an agency and is not currently working full time for the rapper.
Triple H, Stephanie McMahon and two of their children attended an MMA class taught by former WWE diva Eve Torres and her husband. Some pictures were posted on Instagram and Twitter, where the girls took a subtle jab at Matt Hardy while showcasing a choke hold.
Eve Torres recently posted a picture on Instagram of herself with her fiancee, Rener Gracie.
Through her Twitter account, Eve Torres revealed that she was on her way to Seattle, where the former WWE star and current self defense trainer would be presenting the Diva of the Year award on Monday Night Raw.
Eve Torres has signed on to return to WWE next week on Monday Night Raw to present the winner of the Diva of the Year award.
"I don't see it happening. But I know myself enough to know that I'm not going to sit here and say that it's never going to happen."
Eve Torres has decided to leave WWE. She informed management in December that she wanted to focus on her career as a self defense instructor, and the company granted her the release. She worked until January and put over Kaitlyn before leaving.
Eve Torres successfully defended the WWE Divas Championship against Kaitlyn at the Survivor Series.

I like wave 2, but wave 3 may be the greatest wave of action figures ever.
Reynolds is an awesome choice. He's proved himself as an action hero and his comebacks & one-liners in Blade 3 totally reminded me of Spiderman, who totally remindes me of Deadpool's wisecracking.
Here it shows a new head (with comm headset) and possibly new lower arms as she's wearing gloves.
It looks like Mattel has a pretty expansive 3 3/4" line coming up as well, known as Infinite Heroes. They don't look quite as detailed as the larger figures, but seem to be decently articulated and include figures like Commissioner Gordon right off the bat.

Housing, manufacturing give US economy liftBy MARTIN CRUTSINGER
The Associated Press | March 27,2013AP PHOTO
Washing machines are for sale at Greens, a furniture and appliance store, in Albany, N.Y. U.S. orders for long-lasting goods that signal business investment plans fell in February by the largest amount in seven months, although the decline followed a strong month in January and may prove to be a temporary setback.WASHINGTON Gains in housing and manufacturing propelled the U.S. economy over the winter, according to reports released Tuesday, and analysts say they point to the resilience of consumers and businesses as government spending cuts kick in.
U.S. home prices rose 8.1 percent in January, the fastest annual rate since the peak of the housing boom in the summer of 2006. And demand for longer-lasting factory goods jumped 5.7 percent in February, the biggest increase in five months.
February new-home sales and March consumer confidence looked a little shakier. But the overall picture of an improving economy drove stocks higher on Tuesday.
The Standard & Poors 500 gained 12 points to close at 1,563 a point away from its record high reached in October 2007. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 111 points, its biggest gain in three weeks.
There is nothing in this data that says the economy is falling back, said Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors.
A recovery in housing has helped lift the economy this year and is finally restoring some of the wealth lost during the Great Recession.
The year-over-year rise in home prices reported by the Standard & Poors/Case Shiller 20-city index was the fastest since June 2006. Prices rose in all 20 cities and eight markets posted double-digit increases, including some of the hardest hit during the crisis. Prices rose 23.2 percent in Phoenix, 17.5 percent in San Francisco and 15.3 percent in Las Vegas.
The strength in home prices has far from erased all the damage from the crisis. Home prices nationwide are still 29 percent below their peak reached in August 2006.
Still, steady gains should encourage more people to buy and put their homes on the market, keeping the recovery going. And higher home prices make people feel wealthier, which leads consumers to spend more and drives more economic growth.
Sales of new homes cooled off in February to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 411,000, the Commerce Department reported. Thats down from Januarys pace of 431,000, which was the fastest since September 2008. But Februarys pace was still better than every other month since April 2010, when a temporary home-buying tax credit was boosting sales. And sales are 12.3 percent higher than a year ago.
We are still far from the healthy level of 700,000, but were slowly making our way in that direction, said Jennifer Lee, senior economist with BMO Capital Markets. We just have to accept the fact that the path will be interrupted once in a while and thats what happened in February.
Manufacturing is also boosting the economy this year, and factories were busier in February, according to a separate Commerce report on durable goods orders.
Februarys increase was driven by a surge in commercial aircraft orders, which tend to be volatile. Still, orders for motor vehicles and parts increased solidly, suggesting demand for cars and trucks remains strong.
Orders for machinery and other goods that signal business investment plans fell sharply in February. But the decline followed the biggest monthly gain in nearly three years. Economists had expected companies to ease up after Januarys spending spree. When looking at the two months together, business investment has accelerated from the end of last year and should contribute to economic growth.
The picture of business spending to start the year is fairly healthy, said Dan Greenhaus, chief global strategist at BTIG
One concern is that tax increases and government spending cuts could stunt the economys momentum. Both weighed on consumers minds in March.
The Conference Board, a New York-based private research group, said its Consumer Confidence Index fell to 59.7 this month, down from 68 in February. The decline was mainly due to a drop in expectations for the economy over the next six months, though consumers also were more pessimistic regarding current economic conditions.
Some economists think the timing of the survey may have exacerbated the decline.
The survey was conducted from March 1 through March 14, just as $85 billion in automatic spending cuts began. Consumers were already feeling pinched by higher Social Security taxes that have reduced take-home pay for most workers this year. And gas prices rose sharply in February, before easing slightly this month.
It was sort of a perfect storm, said Chris G. Christopher Jr., director of consumer economics at IHS Global Insight. I do expect confidence to rebound as long as there is no government shutdown and the political bickering in Washington doesnt reach a fever pitch.
A healthier job market is also likely to make people feel a little better about their finances.
Employers have added an average of 200,000 jobs per month since November. Thats nearly double the average from last spring. The job gains helped lower the unemployment rate in February to a four-year low of 7.7 percent.
Christopher expects economic growth in the January-March quarter to rise at a 2.9 percent annual rate. That would follow a meager gain of 0.1 percent in the October-December quarter, which was largely due to temporary factors, including sharp cuts in defense spending.
Naroff says the government spending cuts taking effect, known as sequestration, could reduce growth by a full percentage point this year. Still, even with the drag, he expects economic growth for 2013 to be around 2.6 percent. That would be better than the 2.2 percent growth in 2012.MORE IN National / World BusinessDETROIT A dispute between U.S. safety regulators and air bag maker Takata Corp.

Hands on with the Garmin HUD+ at CES 2014
At CES 2014, Garmin decided to announce its HUD+ device to make driving safer. Like the original HUD did, information is projected onto the driver's windshield. The difference is on the software side. Before, the HUD only worked with select Garmin apps that users had to purchase from the Play Store. The HUD+, however, allows drivers to use its own companion app. The original HUD will stick around for $149 while the new HUD+ will retail for just $179. Not bad for people that want a heads-up display.
Hit the break to watch our hands on video.

Latest Nexus 7 update, JSS15Q, now available on AOSP, additional details emerge
Yesterday, an update started rolling out to new Nexus 7 devices to address the multi-touch and GPS issues the new device has been subject to in its first few weeks in the hands of early adopters. Several other Nexus devices also started to receive an OTA update earlier this week to address some security issues. The factory images for all of these updates have now been posted over to AOSP, including the JSS15Q image for the Nexus 7 2013 version.
According to sources, the updates not only address the issues already mentioned, they also took care of some crashing issues involving the devices' clipboard, tweaked App Opps permissions and some other miscellaneous bits. If you are still running your device on the stock Android install, you can continue to wait for the OTA to hit your device. If you are not afraid to tinker with loading a factory image or your device is rooted and not able to get the OTA update, you may want to head over to the Google Developers site to grab the files.

Google Nexus 7 2013 update also fixes GPS issues
Earlier today Google started rolling out update JSS15Q for their Nexus 7 devices that included a fix for the 2013 model to address problems with touchscreens. We now have confirmation from Google that this latest update also corrects GPS problems that some users were having.
The GPS problem would cause the Nexus 7 to lose the GPS lock after prolonged use of the GPS capability, especially in cases where a users was switching between several apps that use GPS. Considering all of the apps that are interested in a device's location, it was quite easy to overwhelm the GPS code.
The update is still slowly rolling out to Nexus 7 owners. Other than the information gleaned from the support forums, Google has not released any official word on just what JSS15Q includes. We also continue to wait for Google to make the update available for download for those users who have moved on from stock and may not get it through the regular OTA method.

Garmin announces Monterra, an Android-powered handheld GPS
Garmin announced the Monterra today, a handheld, Android powered GPS. We only know basic specs right now – 4 inch touchscreen display, 8-megapixel camera with flash and geotag support, 6GB internal storage, and microSD support. The Monterra, being an outdoor device, has an IPX7 waterproof rating, is transflective (meaning the LED backlight is optional), and runs on either a rechargable battery pack or AA batteries.
In lines of GPS features, the Monterra comes with dual-band GPS and GLONASS, a three-axis compass, an accelerometer and gyroscope, barometric altimeter and a built-in UV sensor. Also, Garmin's useful 3D MapMerge, which combines multiple kinds of maps, like TOPO, basemap or BirdsEye imagery is going to be part of the Monterra.
See the full press release from Garmin after the break.
New Google patent application could produce better photos using weather info
A new Google patent application demonstrates a method for connecting weather information with a device's camera application. Besides the camera app and a connected weather app, the method makes use of GPS coordinates. Grabbing location data using the GPS of a device, coordinates are transmitted to a server to retrieve local weather information. When the weather data is returned to the device, ambient light info is fed into the camera to adjust the settings to optimize the picture. Some of the settings that may be adjusted include white balance, hue, saturation, sharpness, or contrast.
It is not clear how this may be better than the sensors already present in a camera, though many photographers find those to be inadequate and resort to manual settings or process their photos through software to make corrections. We also don't know whether this concept will ever find its way into an actual product. If it does, Android users may enjoy an edge in the photography department compared to other platforms.

TomTom finding its way onto Android in October
The last time we heard news of TomTom's arrival on Android, it was simply described as releasing "fairly soon." Well, today the news is a little clearer. TomTom will be previewing their long awaited Android version today at IFA which will hit the Play Store in October. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out since Google's prepackaged navigation is both very familiar and functional to most Android users – as well as the small fact that it's free. There are no specifics as far as pricing for the TomTom application, however with an October release, we will most likely find out more today from their official preview.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Users Reporting GPS Bug After Jelly Bean Update, Easy Fix Possibly Remedies The Problem
It looks like all is not rosy for some Galaxy Nexus owners. After receiving some of that buttery goodness in the latest update, some Galaxy Nexus owners are reporting what is a significant GPS problem. Apparently, certain Galaxy Nexus owners are unable to get a precise GPS fix that doesn't allow those users to track their location. What's worse is the fact this can possibly happen even with satellites in plain view.
This bug doesn't seem to be affecting everyone, but it's probably a good idea to check if you've recently received the update. To check if you're affected, you'll want to open an app that constantly tracks where your whereabouts such as Google Maps, then check the notification shade for a GPS message. If the text says "Searching for GPS…" and you're not seeing a flashing icon, that means you're not getting a GPS lock. If that is the case, then you'll want to confirm you're affected by then downloading an app such as GPS Test which allows you to see if there are satellites within range.
Thankfully— where there's a problem, there's always a solution. Galaxy Nexus users will need to go to Settings > Location services, uncheck and re-check "Google's location service," voila!— everything should be cleared up by then. There are added reports that the simple remedy seems to correct the bug, which indicates there's some type of glitches perhaps on Google's side.

Google Files Patent On Peer-to-Peer Location Finding
A new Google patent application has been filed for a peer-to-peer location service. This patent talks about obtaining "high-resolution physical locations for a wireless device by leveraging the high-resolution physical location capabilities of wireless peers of the wireless device to provide a peer-to-peer location service and facilitate location targeting." In other words, physical distances between your phone and nearby peers can be used to get a more accurate position on your phone should your GPS crap out on you.
A data connection is still required, however, so if you're lost in the deep woods of a rural area with no cell towers or Wi-Fi nearby, you may be up that proverbial creek, paddles nowhere to be found, banjo music getting louder.
Of course, a patent filing is not a product roadmap and Google may not ever introduce this concept to market. We're hopeful it will make it in a future Android build to increase the accuracy of location finding in situations where Wi-Fi and GPS are unavailable or unreliable.

"…the whole trouble lies here. In words, words. Each one of us has within him a whole world of things, each man of us his own special world. And how can we ever come to an understanding if I put in the words I utter the sense and value of things as I see them; while you who listen to me must inevitably translate them according to the conception of things each one of you has within himself. We think we understand each other, but we never really do."
XKCD is always relevant. Always.
I talked to a Romanian fellow for a couple hours once, he was incredibly nice. He talked about his country, seems like a nice place to visit.
...Maybe he was just trying to get me there so I can get gypsy'd.
Until 1918, there used to be 3 Romanian countries, each a country in its own: Transilvania, The Romanian Country and Moldavia.
And everyone saying most gypsies are in Romania, you're wrong. Most gypsies are in USA and if you look at the highest % of country's population then it's in Bulgaria.
Also gypsies come from India, not Romania.
To be honest, I know what Google might teach me if I look it up *smiles* No offense to any country, I only know a few farms there as I've been helping a friend of the family to buy land there.
If you disapprove of moderation, seek an Admin or Global Moderator.Stuff can be fixed, just get enough glue or duct tape!
R.I.P Project 'Titan' - My curious mind will still think of you!
Only what ive read on my psychology course about their attitudes towards romanian gypsies, and thats very little. Also i think ive seen quite a few fit guys from their on certain websites...
I know more about Romania than I do about most easter european countries. I know about the gypsies, the useless politicians and their beautiful mountains!
Zooc the Champ ftw ;D

I love the sound of the language.
You now stand before the Countess.
A story of Firsts from around the world:
Absolutely nothing. I didn't even know you had vampires!
Even today, some people say it was much better during Ceausescu's rule.
All I know is that it is often connected with being overrun by gypsies.
Loads of poverty and huge amount of corruption.
Vampires and gymnasts?
They are the no. 1 bankcard skimmers as it seems.
Not that long ago I read that the government made some law which makes the Gypsies pay tax when they are fortunetelling and stuff like that
All businesses are required to pay taxes, this law is the same across the entire EU. Fortunetelling is considered a profession for recreational purposes, thus a business, and is required to pay taxes like any other. Also, lots of gypsies sing at parties and refuse to pay taxes claiming they weren't actually hired to sing and that they're just doing it as a favor for a friend, like a guest starting to sing, which is obviously not true.

Some fun and fresh workout clothes are a great way to get motivated and ready for your next workout! Here are some of my top fitness wear wishes. All of them look super comfortable to get moving in! :)
As you might have picked up on I ran my first half marathon a few weeks ago. It was a bit of a challenge both to train for it and run it! But it helps to have a goal in sight! And running can feel really amazing (and tiring :P).
Now post half marathon I'm trying to do more strength exercises and combine strength with running and swimming. I've been using the Fitness Blender youtube channel to find good workouts, which I'm really enjoying.
I'm constantly inspired by super sporty people, both in real life (my family…) and on social media. I adore Nike's many Instagram accounts (Nike, Nike Women, Nike Running) and enjoy following fitness girls such as Kayla Itsines and Sjana Elise (I've definitely got far to go when it comes to my flexibility…).
Do you have any great fitness tips or inspiration sources?
1 Nike sweater / 2 H&M shorts / 3 Nike smartphone armband / 4 Adidas Performance tights / 5 Nike trainers / 6 H&M exercise socks / 7 Lorna Jane sports bra / 8 Nike water bottle / 9 Nike light jacket / 10 Nike sports bra / 11 Adidas running jacket / 12 Nike long sleeve top / 13 Nike headband
Here are some photos from my weekend visiting my friend Laura in Copenhagen. Such a great city and I was lucky to have Laura as a guide! Copenhagen is happening and yet a really cozy place.

In a ballroom at the Lansdowne Resort in Leesburg, Va. Friday morning, Hall of Fame athletes like Washington Redskins legend Sonny Jurgensen and 10-time NBA champion Sam Jones were reduced to mere faces in a crowd. That's because Redskins legend Bobby Mitchell had assembled a whopping 45 Hall of Famers to participate in his 21st annual fundraiser, the Bobby Mitchell Autotrader.com Hall of Fame Golf Classic.
Athletic icons like Oscar Robertson, Art Shell and Darrell Green aren't here to ham it up with buddies and hack around on the golf course; they're here to support Mitchell in his noble quest to fight cancer. The three-day event, which culminates with Sunday's open-to-the-public golf tournament, raises money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which strives to find a cure for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma as well as improve the quality of life of patients and their families.
According to tournament directors, the event raised $40,000 in its inaugural year. This year, $500,000 has been raised, bringing the 21-year total to seven million dollars.
While onlookers were awestruck at the star power and money generated by the occasion, Mitchell asserted the event could have been even bigger.
"I work on this 10 months a year," said Mitchell, the first African-American player to star for the Redskins. "When I'm not in town, I'm out there. If I could get all the guys that I interact with out there around the country, you'd be shocked. You couldn't get in here because you start calling off the names, you're calling out the top names of all the sports. I know all of them and they know me."
Mitchell declared in his speech that the hook which draws all the big names to the tournament every year can be summed up in two words: "young folks." The fact that leukemia afflicts so many young people strikes a sympathetic chord with athletes who had the good fortune to grow up strong and healthy on their way to prolific careers in the sporting arena.
As such, it was fitting Mitchell chose to dedicate this year's event to Taylor Law and Alex Nieves, two young people affected by blood cancers. After two and a half years of chemotherapy, 11-year-old Olney, Md.-native Taylor is now cancer-free and will enter middle school in the fall. Mitchell choked up while talking about the young girl, who was in attendance with her father, Mark. Alex, a 20-year-old lacrosse player from Centreville, Va., was more recently diagnosed with leukemia and was not able to attend Friday's ceremony.
Former Redskin linebacker Chris Hanburger — the tournament's newest guest as a member of the Hall of Fame Class of 2011 — expressed admiration and sympathy for brave youngsters like Taylor and Alex. Hanburger felt particularly drawn to the event in light of the condition of his 21-year-old grandson, who has been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease, another debilitating illness for which there is no cure.
"He's going through quite a bit right now. There's no cure for Crohn's, but hopefully there's a cure to be found for cancer," Hanburger said. "And that's what Bobby Mitchell's trying for, like so many other folks who devote a lot of time and effort to raise money to fight this deadly disease."
Another recently inducted Hall of Famer, Class of 2009 member Randall McDaniel, maintains a steadfast connection to young people on a daily basis. The former Minnesota Vikings great works in Minneapolis elementary schools with second graders in the special education department, a post he has held since his playing days. He echoed Mitchell's creed that athletes should be just as responsible for giving back to the community as they are for delivering success on the field.
"I was a Raiders fan growing up, but you knew who Bobby was and everything he did in football," McDaniel said. "And then all of a sudden you get to meet all these guys. Me being the young guy, as they say here, it's great just to hear their stories and the things that they talk about. And they're the role models for the younger players, of giving back, of getting behind a cause and sticking with it."

These are really cute! Perfect for a party favor. They are pretty small. I'm not sure how many times you can open and close the plastic cases before the top part breaks and/or the plastic prongs (the ones that you press down to keep the case locked). It looks more like a treasure chest.

By Sophia Kishkovsky. Museums, Issue 251, November 2013Published online: 06 November 2013
Russia's ministry of culture has approved a design by the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas's OMA-AMO firm for the third stage of the State Hermitage Museum's open store and conservation centre on the outskirts of St Petersburg.
Mikhail Piotrovsky, the general director of the museum, called the centre "our answer to the question of how much of our collection is on display and what percentage is in storage and in basements". Currently known by the name of its location, Staraya Derevnya, it is due to become the New Hermitage. Piotrovsky has said that the next phase of the project, which includes the construction of two buildings, is due to be completed in 2018. It will be paid for from the government's latest Rb7.4bn ($233m) allocation to the museum. The satellite will also house the Hermitage's library, costume museum and publishing operation.

INTEL AND GE have are doing something with healthcare today, and there is a webcast going on as this is written. Thoughtfully, Intel and GE have saved us from the excitement of that webcast through advanced technical features.
Yes, Intel seems to have done the obnoxious thing and made the webcast not just Windows only, but Windows with media player 9+. Those not willing to put in the security flaw masquerading as an operating system are locked out.
When will people learn?
Please note that our coverage, while entertaining and enlightening would not change the world much. If there is one thing more boring than health care automation, it is corporate moves and tie-ups around health care automation. Expect a press release shortly, probably here.
Should you not feel listless and despondent enough as it stands, it will probably get you there. Should you feel listless and despondent, please view the following five links, they might help. 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 -5. All are safe for work, and guaranteed to be more exciting than health care automation finance or your money back.S|A
