Sources: Lakers, Nuggets talk Melo




"The Denver Nuggets have had preliminary discussions with the Los Angeles Lakers on a Carmelo Anthony trade, league sources told ESPN The Magazine's Chris Broussard on Tuesday. The Lakers' package would be built around center Andrew Bynum. Denver has no interest in Ron Artest and isn't particularly interested in Lamar Odom either, sources said. A straight-up deal of Bynum for Anthony works financially, but there could be other players involved since Denver would look to shed more salary if possible.

Sources described the talks as in their infancy, and a three-way deal between the Knicks, Nuggets and Wolves is very much alive." Prosports Daily

Taka Hayashi for Vans Vault Sk8-Hi LX Honey

Taka Hayashi’s work for Vans Vault is always unique, original an unlike anything else on the market. His latest Sk8-Hi LX is no different. An ostrich skin panel wraps around the backside of the sneaker and touches both sides of the midfoot, holding the leather laces in place. The tweed-like material used for the toe and forefoot area meets a like-colored suede collar at the midfoot. Taka’s logo appears on the tongue and heel and his signature toe bumper is used on the off white vulcanized sole, adding the finishing touch to these great kicks.

Private Spaceflight Innovators Attract NASA's Attention


BOULDER, Colo. – NASA's focus on the value of innovative commercial space firms took center stage in back-to-back meetings with a private space station module builder and a company developing a new space plane to fly passengers to and from Earth orbit. The meetings were led by NASA's deputy chief Lori Garver.

Garver visited the brains behind the Sierra Nevada Corporation's (SNC) Dream Chaser spacecraft. Her Feb. 5 visit with the Colorado-based company stemmed from the partnership being carried out under an award of the space agency’s Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) program. 


The seven-person Dream Chaser vehicle is based on NASA HL-20 lifting body work, a legacy design completed in the 1980s and 1990s at the space agency’s Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va.
Dream Chaser would fly to the International Space Station and back. The vehicle is slated to launch vertically on an Atlas 5 rocket and land horizontally on conventional runways. Space.com

Motorola Xoom Is $800 with Locked Wi-Fi.

A leaked Best Buy ad revealed that rumors of a high price tag are true. The Motorola Xoom will be $800. By contrast, the 3G iPad that comes with twice as much storage is only $30 more. And to top it off, Apple still has many of cheaper models available starting at just $500, whereas there is only one choice if you want the Xoom. The fine print on the Best Buy ad reveals that Wi-Fi access with the device is locked down until the user purchases a minimum of one month of data subscription. That means those who wanted to get the Xoom free of contract and just use Wi-Fi will be forced to sign up for 3G.
 



To be fair, the Motorola Xoom is quite a powerful piece of hardware for a tablet. It has a dual-core processor, built-in NVIDIA graphics processing, 1 GB of RAM, HD video recording and the ability to upgrade to 4G. But we can also expect the equivalent of most of these features to show up in the iPad 2, which should get an official announcement in a matter of weeks. Motorola has mentioned plans to create a Wi-Fi-only version of the Xoom, which would presumably be cheaper. But there is no information on when it would be available. 

The Best Buy ad also revealed several other details. It confirmed the Feb. 24 launch date as well as the rates for data usage: $20 per month for 1 GB and up to $80 per month for 10 GB. Technews Daily
