Justin Timberlake: ‘I’m Ready’ to Release New Music

For years, fans have been begging Justin Timberlake to put aside his acting career and get back to what he arguably does best: making music.

And today, he’s finally listening!

On Thursday at 9 a.m. PT, the "Social Network" actor revealed "I'm ready" to put out new music in a video he posted on his Website.
"It means more to me than anyone else in the world," he says in a voice-over as Timberlake is shown walking around. Adding that it took him 10 years to put out is first two albums, he asks, "What does the next decade mean for me? I’m the one who is obsessive about it before you hear it ... I don’t want to put out anything else that I don’t love … you have to wait for it."

Without Kevin Love, Where do The Timberwolves Go?

On Wednesday afternoon, Yahoo!'s own Marc Spears reported that All-Star power forward Kevin Love will miss 8-to-10 weeks after undergoing hand surgery on the same broken right hand that kept him out of the Minnesota Timberwolves first nine games this season. Love reinjured the hand in a January 3 game against the Denver Nuggets and had already missed the team's last two games as he sought medical opinions and weighed options. This report built off an earlier note from Darren Wolfson of 1500ESPN.com that Love was likely to miss at least three months while rehabbing.

It's obviously bad news for the Wolves, a playoff hopeful that's had to deal with a number of injuries to key players already this season. Will the loss of Love be too much to handle? And what does it mean for a young team that expected to make great strides this season?

Real Madrid Fans Think Jose Mourinho Bad for Club’s Image

Even in prosperous times, Jose Mourinho splits opinion amongst his club's own supporters. So with Real Madrid 16 points behind Barcelona midway through the season and Mourinho refusing to start beloved captain Iker Casillas in their last two matches, a poll conducted by Marca shows fan opinion (within the tiny sampling of their poll) is swaying more towards the negative. Even after Mourinho led the club to their first La Liga title in four years last season...Read the entire story

Alistair Overeem's Situation Provides Platform for Commissions to Set Strict PED Precedent

LAS VEGAS – There are a number of similarities between cyclist Lance Armstrong and Alistair Overeem, the UFC heavyweight who on Tuesday received a license to fight from the Nevada Athletic Commission.

Both men are world-class athletes who have been dogged throughout their careers by rumors of performance-enhancing drug usage. Both vehemently denied such claims.

In October, the United States Anti-Doping Agency released a 164-page report with two addendums totaling another 33 pages that detailed Armstrong's usage. Armstrong, though, still hasn't admitted his guilt, though there have been reports that he's considered doing so.

Overeem failed a surprise drug test by the Nevada commission in March 2012 on the morning of a news conference to announce a planned fight with then-heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos.

The heavily muscular Overeem's testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio, or his T/E ratio, was more than double Nevada's limit of 6-1 and more than triple the limit of the World Anti-Doping Agency's standard of 4-1...Read the entire story

Tiger Woods Speaks, Announces First European and PGA Tour Starts

You want a little Tiger Woods in your life? No worries, because it'll come in just over a week. Woods, currently the No. 3 golfer in the world, announced on his website on Wednesday that he is planning on playing in Abu Dhabi next week, a tournament he co-lead for 54 holes a year ago.

The tournament, held at Abu Dhabi Golf Club, kicks off on January 17, and will have a field that includes Tiger and Rory McIlroy, two guys that played together at this event a year ago for the first three rounds (no word yet if they're paired this time, but if the start of 2013 is anything like the end of '12, expect to see them side by side).

Woods also announced that he will open his PGA Tour season the following week at the Farmers, an event he has won six times and the site of his one-legged U.S. Open victory in 2008.

2,000 Year Old Treasure Discovered In Black Sea Fortress

Residents of a town under siege by the Roman army about 2,000 years ago buried two hoards of treasure in the town's citadel — treasure recently excavated by archaeologists.

More than 200 coins, mainly bronze, were found along with "various items of gold, silver and bronze jewelry and glass vessels" inside an ancient fortress within the Artezian settlement in the Crimea (in Ukraine), the researchers wrote in the most recent edition of the journal Ancient Civilizations from Scythia to Siberia.

"The fortress had been besieged. Wealthy people from the settlement and the neighborhood had tried to hide there from the Romans.  They had buried their hoards inside the citadel," Nikolaï Vinokurov, a professor at Moscow State Pedagogical University, explained...Read the entire story

'Smart' potty or dumb idea? Wacky gadgets at CES

[caption id="attachment_172" align="aligncenter" width="567"] Associated Press/Julie Jacobson - The iPotty for iPad potty training device is see on display at the Consumer Electronics Show, Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2013, in Las Vegas. No app is available to go with the trainer[/caption]

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Some of the weirdest gadgets at the International CES show are designed to solve problems you never knew you had. Are you eating too fast? A digital fork will let you know. Is your toddler having trouble sitting still on the potty? Let the iPotty come to the rescue. Are you bored driving to work in a four-wheeled vehicle? Climb inside a 1,600-pound mechanical spider for your morning commute.

Of course, not all of the prototypes introduced at the annual gadget show will succeed in the marketplace. But the innovators who shop their wares here are fearless when it comes to pitching new gizmos, be they flashy, catchy or just plain odd.

A search for this year's strangest (and perhaps least useful) electronic devices yielded an extra-loud pair of headphones from a metal band, an eye-sensing TV that didn't work as intended and more. Take a look...Read the entire story
