Discover Card Biodegrades Your Debt Away



Latest news and updates According to the internet media provided real hot topic infomation,that new and updates is,While most of us can't avoid the convenience of credit cards (and their reusable nature is commendable), their plastics aren't so good. Now Discover has launched the US's first biodegradable credit card.

Constructed of biodegradable PVC, 99% of the card's substance is said to be reabsorbed by the environment given exposure to soil, water, compost and microorganisms within 9 months to 5 years of its being thrown away.

So where did this magical biodegradable PVC come from? Treehugger speculates that since the idea is relatively new/rare, it might be purchased from a company named BIOflex who makes a PVC from a mix of limestone, plasticizer, and 20 percent petroleum.

Pokemon Black & White preview: a clear-cut sequel


Latest news and updates According to the internet media provided real hot topic infomation,that new and updates,Given its focus on cute, cuddly animals, it seems odd to describe the Pokémon series as hardcore, yet generation after generation of games have created an elite group of dedicated players who have "caught 'em all." They know every stat, every attribute and every breeding strategy needed to edge out competitors. As the divide between hardcore and casual Pokémon players grew, it seemed Nintendo had reason enough to press the reset button.

"A new player is starting on the same footing as a Pokémon expert," a Nintendo representative told me while pitching the latest games in the series, Black & White. At first glance, it's just another Pokémon game: you go around the 2D world collecting monsters to use in RPG-styled battles. This time, however, you won't encounter the Pokémon you've come to know, grow and love. There's an all-new set of 150+ critters to collect, meaning everyone will have to learn a brand new Pokedex to stay competitive.

NASCAR to get fuel injection for 2012; McLaren wins supply contract



Latest news and updates According to the internet media provided real hot topic infomation,that new and updates,If it's good enough for Formula 1, it's good enough for NASCAR. Heck, if it's good enough for every single automobile sold in the United States for the past several decades, it's good enough for NASCAR. What's this newfangled techno-wizardry we're talking about? Fuel injection.

For the first time since the series kicked off in 1947, the so-called stock cars that travel full-throttle around tracks all across America will abandon their carburetors in favor of an Enging Control Unit sourced from McLaren and a computer processor from Freescale. That tandem reportedly beat out eight rival bids.

According to NASCAR Vice President of Competition Robin Pemberton, "This is a positive step that will provide greater fuel efficiency and a greener footprint while maintaining the same great competition that we have seen on the race track."

The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show Exhibits Your Everyday Pooch


When you think of a dog show, you may think that these dogs come from very polished lives – having quite possibly their own upscale bedrooms and being treated to the most expensive meals. But the opposite is true according to David Frei, who will narrate the annual Westminster Kennel Club Show that airs on USA and CNBC.

Of the 2,500 purebred dogs that will be competing, they really aren’t much different from the 10 or 20 dogs the average New Yorker passes every day on the street and in the neighborhood.

“The public sees that dog so disciplined in the show ring,” says Frei. “What they don’t see is that same dog outside rolling in the mud, or drooling, or shedding on your black pants.”

Karl Malone: Sloan would never quit anything


Latest news and updates According to the internet media latest news and updates,internet media provided real hot topic information,that news and updates is,SALT LAKE CITY -- An agitated Karl Malone says the Jerry Sloan he knows would never quit anything and suggested his longtime Utah Jazz coach just grew tired of garbage that came with the job and certain players.

"They changed the floor back to old school. They changed the uniform back to old school. Somebody tell the damn players to start playing like old school," Malone said before the Jazz hosted the Phoenix Suns on Friday night. "It may work. They spent a lot of money on the rest, now how about you tell the players. I'm just calling it like I see it."

Malone, who has exchanged phone messages with Sloan since his resignation, also took issue with some national analysts and players who were particularly critical of Sloan.
The most outspoken player in recent months had been star guard Deron Williams, who clashed with Sloan about the coach's practice schedule and study demands.

Latest news and updates According to the internet media latest news and updates,internet media provided real hot topic information,that news and updates is,Yikes, this could get messy. Internet reports indicate that a beta of Crysis 2 has leaked online. The 9GB download is spreading like wildfire across torrent sites, with gameplay videos already appearing on YouTube (soon to be removed by EA’s legal team, surely).

Judging from information obtained on the file timestamps, this leak is fairly recent, compiled on January 13. During gameplay, it displays a watermark that reads “Crytek – Internal Use Only. Not for Distribution” on several scenes. A sizable chunk of content is out in the open, including single player assets. In other words, it bears no relation to the public demo Crytek plans on releasing soon.

To add insult to injury, it also includes master key files relating to DRM routines, which handle online authentication — according to a user on Facepunch.

But Obama was careful to temper his enthusiasm about the amazing accomplishments of the Egyptian protesters with a warning about the need for a smooth transition of power, saying, “This is not the end of Egyptian transition… it’s a beginning… I’m sure there will be difficult days ahead but I am confident that the people of Egypt can find the answers and do so peacefully.”“The wheel of history turned at a blinding pace as the Egyptian people demanded their universal rights,” Obama said.  He quoted a protest leader as saying, “Most people have discovered in the last few days that they are worth something and this cannot be taken away from them anymore, ever.”

Cedar Rapids


Lates news and updates Accoring to the internet media Lates news and updates,internet provided hot topic information,that news latest and updates is,The context presents lots of opportunities for awkward humour as the naïve but earnest Tim does his best in every scenario. The comedy is often based in social awkwardness with his fellow Cedar Rapids convention attendees the outrageous Dean Ziegler (John C. Reilly), the straight-man Ronald Wilkes (Isiah Whitlock Jr.) and the one lady in tow Joan Ostrowski-Fox (Anne Heche), and I actually quite enjoyed the performances here especially by Anne Heche who had a great knack for the comedy and being the 'crazy girl who hangs with the guys', but also bringing a subtle but stable emotional centre to the film. Ed Helms is perfect as Tim, whose emotions are all over the place from being overwhelmed and excited to scared but always driven to work to achieve his goal. Now that goal is one of the things that didn't quite sit well with me with the film, as it was about a convention, but there wasn't much convention-ing going on at the convention. There was lots of fun activities, planned or spontaneous, but I never felt like we saw whatever it was that Tim was supposed to be doing there, which was a huge driving force of the film.

Sharm el-Sheikh, Mubarak's New Home (PHOTOS)


Lates news and updates Accoring to the internet media Lates news and updates,internet provided hot topic information,that news latest and updates is,Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, is reportedly Mubarak's new home.

Aside from having a website straight out of 1995, and being the new home for President Hosni Mubarak, Sharm el-Sheikh is a popular resort city on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, in South Sinai Governorate, Egypt.

So what has Mubarak reportedly left Cairo for? Maybe a burger at the Sharm el-Sheikh Hard Rock Cafe just sounded really good.

Sharm el-Sheikh features quite a few major hotels such as Sharm el-Sheikh Four Seasons, Sharm el-Sheikh Marriott, Sharm el-Sheikh Sheraton, Sharm el-Sheikh Ritz-Carlton and even a Sharm el-Sheikh Holiday Inn.

Tourists from Egypt, around the region, and the rest of the world visit Sharm el-Sheikh for the casinos, diving, long swaths of natural beaches, year-round dry and temperate climate, and discos.

What better place for an embattled President to "retire"?

This won't be the first time Sharm el-Sheikh has garnered attention for something other than being a resort city. The 2005 Sharm el-Sheikh terrorists attacks killed 88 people, mostly Egyptian tourists, and significantly set the local economy back.
Story continues below

Egypt's tourism industry is suffering because of the current turmoil, but with reports of Mubarak resigning, even if it is to Sharm el-Sheikh, it isn't unreasonable to assume this popular tourist destination will rise again.

Did Lindsay Lohan’s White Dress Really Sell Out After Its Courtroom Debut?Way'


Lates news and updates Accoring to the internet media Lates news and updates,internet provided hot topic information,Here’s our problem with giving Lohan credit for that: on Kimberly Ovitz’s site, the “Glavis” dress, which is available in 3 other colors besides the white version Lohan wore, has a note by it saying “Pre-Order available if out of stock for April 2011 delivery.” That same note appears for every other color, which leads us to believe that any retailers who were stocking the dress may not have had many to begin with, or at best may be reporting pre-sales figures. Which is nice, but not the same thing as selling out of the actual item.

Also, the dress appears to be in stock on Ovitz’s own site, and a search on ShopStyle – which usually turns up sold out items for at least a few days after they’ve gone out of stock – shows no sign of the dress. Neither does a search on Boutiques.com, which shows out of stock results in order to recommend current products. But that makes sense considering the dress is from the designer’s pre-fall collection, which probably wouldn’t actually make it on to websites or store floors until… mid-April (at the earliest). We smell a bonus for a clever PR agent.

Diet Soda Tied To Stroke Risk, Though Reasons Still Unclear


Latest news and updates LOS ANGELES — It's far from definitive proof, but new research raises concern about diet soda, finding higher risks for stroke and heart attack among people who drink it everyday versus those who drink no soda at all.

The beverage findings should be "a wakeup call to pay attention to diet sodas," said Dr. Steven Greenberg. He is a Harvard Medical School neurologist and vice chairman of the International Stroke Conference in California, where the research was presented on Wednesday.

A simple solution, health experts say, is to drink water instead.

Doctors have no chemical or biological explanation for why diet soda may be risky. It could be that people who drink lots of it also fail to exercise, weigh more, drink more alcohol or have other risk factors like high blood pressure and smoking. However, the researchers took these and many other factors into account and didn't see a change in the trend.

Diet Soda Linked To Heart Attack and Stroke, Says New Study


Latest news and updates According to a new study presented at yesterday’s American Stroke Association International Stroke Conference in Los Angeles, there appears to be a definite correlation between diet soda consumption and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

In the study of more than 2,500 subjects, people who drank diet soda daily had a 61 percent increased risk of cardiovascular events compared to those who drank no soda. This was found to be true even when accounting for smoking, physical activity, alcohol consumption and daily calories.

“This study suggests that diet soda is not an optimal substitute for sugar-sweetened beverages, and may be associated with a greater risk of stroke,” Hannah Gardener of the University of Miami and her colleagues reported at the conference. Gardener is an epidemiologist at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and lead author of the study.

Great Debate: Toilet Paper Roll Over or Under – Which Way is Most Popula


Latest news and updates There are many debates that plague households across the land. Arguments about money, chores and how to raise your children are common topics. But one conflict arises that is far less important than any of those but yet still gets people passionate and completely riles up. The issue is toilet paper. The great debate?  Whether it should be hung over or under.

Personally, I am an “over” person and it really bothers me when the toilet roll in hung under. And O know better. There are so many other things to be truly bothered by, and this really is totally trivial. But it’s some odd instinct that takes over when the roll is hung opposite of how I’m used to. So why do people care? Some say that it’s how you grew up which dictates how you like it in your own home. Did your mom hang it under? Then odds are you hang it under too. Therefore your children will hang it under, and so on and so on, creating generations of toilet roll underers.

There really is no “right way” to hang a toilet roll. Just preferences. But there is one way that it significantly more popular than the other.

Thing is, the congressman is married.

Lee resigned from office soon after, stating in a press release, "I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents. I deeply and sincerely apologize to them all. I have made profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their forgiveness."

Mike Fisher traded to Predators for first-round pick


Latest news and updates According to the internet media its all about Latest news and updates,internet media provided real hot topic information,The rebuild has begun in earnest.

On Thursday afternoon, the Ottawa Senators traded longtime centre and fan favourite Mike Fisher to the Nashville Predators in exchange for a 2011 first-round draft choice and a conditional 2012 draft choice. According to TSN, the conditional pick is detailed as follows: "The Senators will receive Nashville's third rounder if the Preds win one playoff round. That pick would then turn into a second-round pick in 2012 if the team wins two or more rounds."

This trade is likely to be a difficult one, at least initially, for Senators fans. Although much of the fanbase has said they'd support a rebuild through most of this season, that was just talk before; now, with one of the city's favourite players dealt away as part of the rebuild, the reality should be sinking in for most of the city. But as a seller's trade, it was a good one for the Senators.

Fugitive Found In Rural Idaho


Latest news and updates According to the internet media its all about Latest news and updates,internet media provided real hot topic information,MARSING, Idaho — For more than a decade, the vast farm fields of rural southwestern Idaho provided Enrico Ponzo the isolation he needed to hide from his past as a former New England mobster accused of trying to whack his boss.

He introduced himself to his neighbors as Jeffrey Shaw, a man who went by the nickname "Jay." He paid for everything in cash. He bought his house in his girlfriend's name.

But his past proved a stubborn companion.

Ponzo couldn't hide his vaguely New York accent. He couldn't keep his stories straight. He couldn't hide his expertise with a gun during a trip to the local shooting range. And in a community where Ponzo was surrounded by wide open ranch land, his neighbors could tell he didn't know anything about farming.

The past Ponzo tried to bury finally came calling this week, when federal agents arrived at a subdivision in Marsing and shattered the life he had so carefully crafted.
