Lebron James and Chris Bosh might be going towards Miami
Lebron James, Chris Bosh, and Dwayne Wade had a “meeting” in Miami. What does that mean? This doesn’t make it 100 percent sure that Bosh and James are coming to Miami but it certainly means Wade wants a championship.
If Lebron comes to Chicago you can guarantee a playoff spot and/or if he brings in players such as Bosh, Stoudemire, Johnson.......

iPhone Death Grip is an Apple mobile mystery.
iPhone Death Grip is big problem when you disrupt mobile connections. This happens for some people on the Apple iPhone 4 when handling the metal band with a tight grip. Some iPhone 4 users are even posting videos of this problem.
If you wrap your hand around the iPhone 4, the cellular Internet strength visibly drops. You can actually see the bars disappearing. Apple believes that it's a problem with the antenna.
However, most iPhone users are unable to reproduce this problem. Several iPhone 4 users made videos showing their hand wrapped around the cell phone and the unit still maintained internet strength. The signal was still strong on the mobile unit.
Death Grip is only happening to some people, which is a bigger mystery. If you do experience the iPhone 4 glitch, one easy way to eliminate it is to put the phone in a case. Even a "bumper" solves the problem. It's a thin rubbery silicon band, available in a range of colors, that covers the metal edge entirely for only $30.

NEVER GIVE UP IN LIFE!
I wanted to share this with everyone out there, you won't ever see this on the news as a great story or inspirational story but, what I saw tonight made me want to tell everyone out there to never give up in life. I lost my brother 20 years ago and even though it made me feel lost, I never stopped going forward.
I enjoy watching UFC and tonights fight was a truely inspirational story.
Court McGee died, clinically, in 2005. Five years later, he is vying to become "The Ultimate Fighter."(on June 19th 2010 he earned a six figure contract)
Born in Layton, UT, McGee was introduced to the elements of mixed martial arts at a young age, enrolling in pee wee wrestling and shintoshi karate in the 1st grade. Jiu jitsu replaced karate in his training when he reached high school and he graduated from Layton High School in 2003 after having wrestled on the varsity team for six years, making All-State twice.
McGee enrolled in Weber State University and wrestled there for a year before the program was dissolved. The dissolution of the program caused McGee to drop out of college and, after breaking his collarbone in an accident, he developed an addiction to pain killers.
Pain killers led to alcohol abuse.
Alcohol led to cocaine abuse.
Cocaine led to heroin addiction.
Heroin addiction led to, in 2005, doctors pronouncing McGee clinically dead due to an overdose. Doctors were able to give him a pulse and a fighting chance and, after emerging from a 6 day coma, he went through an extensive physical rehab program, relearning basic motor skills such as walking. Wrestling, karate and jiu jitsu were a pipe dream at the time.
McGee's fighting spirit, though, would not be denied. After completing his rehabilitation for chemical dependency program, he started to train MMA full time. Training with Throwdown MMA in Orem, UT, McGee currently boasts a 9-1 record, including a win over "The Ultimate Fighter: United States vs. United Kingdom" runner-up DaMarques Johnson in 2007 by submission.
And on June 19th he became season 11 Ultimate Fighter Champion.
CONGRATULATIONS McGee you are truly inspirational!

'Made in America' Means Something Again
If there were any doubts about reports that the American auto industry is on the mend, they were laid to rest today with the release of J.D. Power and Associates' 2010 Initial Quality Study (IQS). Domestic brands, as a whole, demonstrated higher initial quality than the imports for the first time in the study's 24-year history. And, not surprisingly, Ford Motor Co. led the reformation.
Even before the Big Three went to Washington with their hats in hand back in the fall of 2008, Ford had been making sound decisions about the direction of the business. One of the pivotal moves it made was hiring Alan Mulally, the automaker's current CEO, from Boeing. By focusing on the company's balance sheet and leveraging its assets, Mulally was able to cut costs, put money in the bank and avoid taking government bailout money, unlike the other two big American automakers. While this endeared the brand to a financially strapped American public, it also gave Mulally the money needed to aggressively restructure the company and, more importantly, develop better automobiles.
It was a gamble, for sure, but one that has paid off in spades, as the Blue Oval is now the highest-ranked mass-market automaker in initial quality. It also jumped into the list of top five brands in overall quality for the first time ever, and has 12 models that rank within the top three in their respective IQS segments — more than any other carmaker in the study — including capturing top honors in three segments with the Focus, Mustang and Taurus.
General Motors (often called "Government Motors" these days) also did well, with 10 models that rank within the top three in their segments. Chrysler didn't fare as well.
This is in sharp contrast to last year's results, when much of the discussion about automotive quality centered on the difficulties U.S. automakers were facing, and the perceptions that these problems were largely caused by poor product quality.
