Billionaire Widow Gives $7.2 Billion Back To Madoff Victims

Victims of douchebag-supreme Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme are getting an early Christmas present. The widow of one of Madoff's biggest beneficiaries has agreed to return $7.2 billion in proceeds to those who were defrauded.
Barbara Picower is the widow of billionaire philanthropist Jeffrey Picower, the most successful beneficiary of Madoff's madness. And while the court-appointed trustee for the victims has said there is no way the late Picower could not have known he was profiting from fraud, Ms. Picower maintains her husband's innocence and says she's returning the money because it's the right thing to do.
"This settlement honors what Jeffry would have wanted," she said in a statement, "which is to return this money so that it can go directly to the victims of Madoff."
Big Bad Bernie is currently serving a 150-year sentence in a medium security federal prison in Butner, N.C.

(CBS) Some teens limit their birthday celebrations to cake and candles. But a few days after she turned 18, pop sensation Miley Cyrus celebrated in her Los Angeles home by taking a hit off a bong, according to a gossip website that obtained video of the occasion.
But it wasn't marijuana the Cyrus was smoking, TMZ reported. It was salvia.
What's salvia?
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse website, it's an herb - legal in California - that can be smoked to produce induce psychotomimetic episodes.
That's a fancy way of saying the smoker experiences "psychedelic-like changes in visual perception, mood and body sensations, emotional swings, feelings of detachment, and importantly, a highly modified perception of external reality and the self, leading to a decreased ability to interact with one's surroundings," according to the website

LUN dedicated their entire front page today to the late actor, including this hilarious photo of him from "The Naked Gun," which apparently Chileans call "¿Y Dónde Está El Policía?" or "Where Are The Police?" We had no idea Chileans were such big fans,

Tis the Season: Advent Calendars

If you’re like me and try to decorate the house for Christmas on the weekend after Thanksgiving, perhaps one of your many festive decorations is one or a slew of Advent calendars. Advent obviously has religious origins, but for me, the month of December is nothing but a few weeks of giddy anticipation of the Christmas holiday.

It’s especially important for me to get decorations up before the start of December because one of the big parts of our holiday decor is Advent calendars. As long as I can remember, I’ve had Advent calendar windows to open throughout the month of December. When I was a kid, we had only two or three calendars at a time. Now that I’m grown up and am in charge of the holiday, we have many. Some just have little window flaps to open.

Japanese Rain Goggles: What are Japanese Rain Goggles?

What are Japanese Rain Goggles?
Ever since the term Japanese Rain Goggles has been mentioned on the popular sitcom Two and a Half Men, people have been searching Google trying to find out what exactly the characters of the sitcom are referring to.
It may seem surprising, but there is not much that can be discovered through research concerning the Japanese Rain Goggles on the great world wide web.
Maybe they are glasses or goggles with mini windshield wipers on the outside.
Ultimately, it seems to be a term that was created by the director of the sitcom, Chuck Lorre.
The closest thing to Japanese Rain Goggles are swimming goggles that have water inside them, between two lenses. The point is to give the wearer the feeling of being immersed in water at any time.

KenKen puzzle, backed by Pleasantville toy maker, gets first U.S. competition

PLEASANTVILLE — The grids, the numbers and the computations required to solve KenKen puzzles might send shivers up the spine of non-math afficionados.

But its fan base extends far beyond the math geeks among us to those somewhat literary types who are uncertain how fast they can add or subtract let alone multiply or divide under pressure.

This includes Pleasantville toy maker and agent Robert Fuhrer, who brought this Japanese craze to America.

"I am not a puzzler," said Fuhrer, 55, from his Pleasantville office of Nextoy, a toy business known for Airblade from Mattel and Gator Golf from Hasbro Games.

But he, his family and friends and thousands of others do KenKen puzzles.

They can't seem to put these KenKen squares down. Which is good for newspapers, such as the Times of London and The New York Times
