Stacey King's "do you know how to post videos to Facebook" may be the NBA's best dunk call

Chicago Bulls analyst Stacey King has developed quite the reputation and following for his jubilant, colorful calls. ?He's made his mark as an analyst that is given room to scream excitably and be more of the voice of the fan when highlight plays happen. ?That style isn't for everybody, but it sure is entertaining. ?Anyone that has their own soundboard has reached a certain milestone as a broadcaster. ?But Stacey King's best call may be his new favorite for a huge dunk, inspired by this AT&T commercial. ?Take this call from last night when the Bulls were playing in Orlando as Joakim Noah throws one down over Big Baby Davis. ?Stacey's used this call eariler in the month, but this one just seemed to have more behind it. ?There's also the added effect of seeing Big Baby Davis attempting to block a dunk and crash to the hardwood with a look on his face that asks in stunned amazement, "did Joakim Noah just put me on a poster?" ?Like the dunk contest itself, announcers have to be more and more creative with their excited descriptions of them. ? Thank you Stacey King, hopefully someone has posted your video to Facebook...?

Google+ is so jealous.

There?s Music in the Air

When I reviewed the South of Market Audio Dock from Audyssey, I was blown over by the sound, the bass, the size, the… well, just about everything. Everything, except the Bluetooth wireless. As I have said before, I am not a fan of Bluetooth. Maybe the new Bluetooth 4.0 will change my mind, but for [...]

Whitney Houston Cause of Death: Heart Attack, Cocaine


The Los Angeles County Coroner has released the official cause of death for Whitney Houston.

According to the report, the singer passed away due to an "accidental drowning" that was related to heart disease and also the presence of cocaine in her system.

A Final Image of Whitney Houston

An insider tells TMZ that it's "very possible" the heart attack caused Whitney to pass out and fall under the water. It's also likely this was triggered by the use of cocaine. It should be noted, however, that no cocaine was found in the hotel room where Houston passed away.

Law enforcement officials have said from the beginning that no foul play was involved in the tragedy and nothing in this report suggests anything different.

Perhaps now folks such as Nancy Grace can let Whitney rest in peace.

Simulation explains why HIV cure is elusive

ScienceDaily (Mar. 23, 2012) ? New research from the University of Adelaide shows why the development of a cure and new treatments for HIV have been so difficult for scientists to crack.

Dr Jack da Silva from the University's School of Molecular & Biomedical Science has used computer simulations to discover that even in early infection when the virus population is low, HIV rapidly evolves to evade immune defenses and treatments.

These results -- published in this month's issue of the journal Genetics -- challenge the commonly held belief that evolution of the virus under these circumstances is very slow.

"I believe the search for a cure for AIDS has failed so far because we do not fully understand how HIV evolves," Dr da Silva said.

To make this discovery, Dr da Silva used computer simulations to determine whether, under realistic conditions, the virus could evolve rapidly if an infection started from a single virus.

This was done by constructing a model of the virus population, then simulating the killing of virus-infected cells by the immune system, along with mutation, recombination (the process by which genetic material is broken and joined to other genetic material), and random genetic changes.

Results show that for realistic rates of cell killing, mutation and recombination, and a realistic population size, the virus could evolve very rapidly even if the initial population size is one.

"At low population levels, viruses have reduced genetic variation and therefore it should be harder for them to evolve rapidly. However, it appears that the evolution of HIV goes against conventional wisdom," Dr da Silva said.

"We now need further insight into the precise genetic mechanisms that enable the virus to so readily adapt to all the challenges we throw at it. Such knowledge will, hopefully, lead to novel strategies for vaccines and other control measures."

Mark Johnston, Editor-in-Chief of Genetics, said: "Now that we know HIV rapidly evolves, even when its population size is small, we may be able to interfere with its ability to evolve so we can get the most out of the treatments that are developed."

France's far-right presidential hopeful Le Pen clears crucial election hurdle

Ms. Le Pen ? who has attacked the rise of Islam in France ? garnered the required signatures to get on the April 2012 presidential ballot.

The far-right French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen today qualified to be on the ballot, just ahead of a deadline that would have shut her out. ?

Skip to next paragraph

Ms. Le Pen, who has castigated immigration and the growing presence of Islam in France and wants France to leave the eurozone, has been a volatile and popular candidate here, whose attack-style is admired by many French.?

As of yesterday she was 15 signatures shy of the 500 necessary to stand for French high office in the first round of elections on April 22. Today, Le Pen said she had reached 500.

Although Le Pen has steadily polled in third place, between 15 and 19 percent, she struggled to obtain the necessary number of signatures because they must come from local elected officials.?

The French far right has always exerted more influence than its results at the ballot box suggest. Polls aired in Paris last month had nearly 30 percent of French considering Le Pen as a candidate or at least agreeing with her views. Mainstream politics in France, as in the rest of Europe, have shifted to the right for at least a half-decade.

Le Pen's National Front party is perceived as siphoning off votes from center-right President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is fighting hard to be re-elected.?

But today, polls for the first time showed Mr. Sarkozy outscoring Socialist candidate Francois Hollande in the first round of elections, although he remains 9 points behind Hollande in an expected runoff on May 5. Under French election rules, a candidate that does not reach 50 percent in the initial election faces a second round run off.

Sarkozy forces may have hoped privately that Le Pen would not reach the 500 mark, but many consider the failure of a candidate running third in the polls to reach the ballot box an embarrassment to French democracy.

Under French election rules, the 500 signatures must come from some 41,000 local mayors and town officials. Le Pen struggled to gain their support because officials do not wish to be associated with her lightening rod name and extreme views since the signatures are made public.

Blonde and telegenic, Le Pen is the daughter of Europe?s most famous nationalist, Jean-Marie Le Pen, whose popular, blunt, and folksy style were matched by what was often seen as a racist and sometimes anti-Semetic French nationalism.

Le Pen fille has taken a different strategy. She presents herself as a softer nationalist: friendly to Jews and homosexuals, savvy and more ardently patriotic ? more a Joan of Arc than an Orthodox hardliner.

However, she has also compared Muslims praying on Paris streets to a Nazi occupation, ardently opposed the European Union (?Brussels is destroying Greece. It will next ravage Italy and Spain, and eventually... us,? she said about the euro crisis this month), and heaped scorn on Sarkozy, sharing her father?s skill with the satirical political barb.

Le Pen pere regularly struggled to reach 500 signatures, even though in 2002 he won a place in the second round of French elections, astounding?the international community and the Parisian intelligentsia. He lost to former President Jacques Chirac in the final runoff.

With dozens of candidates on a broad left-right spectrum ? from Trotskyites on the left to a hunting and fishing party on the traditional right ? an outright first round win has never happened in French politics. In 1965, not even Charles de Gaulle, father of modern France, made 50 percent in the first round.?

Daily iPhone App: Save My Telly builds a new twist on physics puzzlers

Save My Telly is the first physics puzzler game I've seen in a while that really surprised me. When I say "physics puzzler," you probably think Angry Birds or Cut the Rope, and these days on iPhone, 90% of the time you'd be right. But Save My Telly, which began as a Flash game that you can also play for free right here, is talking about a different kind of physics, really. In the game, you need to use physically modeled objects not to destroy, but to build.

Specifically, you need to build a shelter for a beaver's most prized possession: His television. Using everything from wooden planks up to straw and steel, you set down objects either on each other or the TV, and then each of your structures needs to withstand whatever natural disaster the beaver faces that day, from tornados to rainstorms or even alien attacks. The game's tone is fun and silly, but there's actually a very solid engine at the core of this one, that models the different physical materials well.

Unfortunately, there's not a ton of content here -- it's basically just the 60 single player challenges. There's a lot of complexity to go through in those, however, and there are a few different settings to mix it all up as well. Game Center integration is included, and if nothing else, Save My Telly should be lauded for trying something a little different with the whole physics puzzler sub-genre. If you like playing the game at the link above, give it a download on the App Store for 99 cents.
