Dana Jacobson, co-host of ESPN2's First Take, has been suspended for "inappropriate" commentary made at the "Mike and Mike Roast" for radio personalities Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic. In an apparently drunken rant, Jacobson repeatedly used the 'f' word and made vulgar remarks about Notre Dame.
The brouhaha over Jacobson started at a celebrity roast for radio hosts Greenberg and Golic of ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" show. At the roast, Jacobson reportedly made "an absolute fool of herself, swilling vodka from a Belvedere bottle, mumbling along and cursing like a sailor" according to the Press of Atlantic City.
Among the comments Jacobson reportedly made were derogatory remarks about Notre Dame, in which she said "F*** Notre Dame," "F*** Touchdown Jesus" and "F*** Jesus". Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis was in the audience during Jacobson's rant.
MSNBC reports Jacobson was suspended for one week in punishment for the incident at the roast. ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz told the Chicago Tribune that Jacobson's "actions and comments were inappropriate and we've dealt with it," though he did not confirm the suspension.
Jacobson apologized for her behavior in a conciliatory statement released to the press. "I am sorry. My remarks about Notre Dame were foolish and insensitive. I respect all religions and did not mean anything derogatory by my poorly chosen words. I also deeply regret the embarrassment I've caused ESPN and Mike and Mike," Jacobson said.
"My actions at the roast were inappropriate and in no way represent who I am. I won't make excuses for my behavior, but I do hope I can be forgiven for such a poor lack of judgment."

Quick Weight Loss Tips
A slender, fit body is something we all desire. And as spring fast approaches, it's time to get to work on your beach body. These tips and tricks will help you shed those unwanted pounds quickly and be on your way to a slimmer healthier you.
5. Eat 5 or 6 small meals instead of 2-3 large ones during the day. This will help keep your metabolism buring and keep your blood sugar levels under control, preventing insulin rebound.
4. Pack lots of fibrous snacks to take with you throughout the day, fiber not only helps you feel more full, it also aids in digestion of other nutrients.
3. Reduce your salt intake! Salt, (especially the refined table salt) causes you to retain water. Reduce the salt, and reduce the water weight you carry as a result. Be careful though, sodium is an essential mineral and you do not want to deprive yourself of it!
2. Cut portions in half! (related to #5) If you go out to eat, have the server put half of your entree in a to-go bag before they bring the food out, this way, you will not be tempted to eat the entire entree there, which is often 2 or even 3 full meal's worth.
1. Excercise when you can! Even an additional 15 minutes per day of excercise adds up to almost 2 hours a week. Every little bit helps, so take a little extra time before bed, or in the morning, or even on your lunch break and get a little bit of excercise every day.
If you found these tips and tricks helpful and you want to speed up your weight loss, or if you would like to lose more than just a few lbs you will definately be interesting in what i consider the most effective weight loss program on the market. It is called Fat Loss For Idiots and it is a 100% natural, 100% effective weight loss program that allows you to lose as much as 6lbs a week safely and easily. They literally spell out for you (hence the name) each step you need to take in order to achieve the body of your dreams. I highly recommend this resourse to anyone looking to lose weight and get in shape. That's it for today, and good luck to you all. I sincerely hope you achieve your goals. -David

MacBook Air Release!! Thinnest,Lightest Macbook Ever
Thats right, you read correctly, the Macbook air is soon to be released.The MacBook Air features a 1.8-inch hard disk drive with 80GB of storage capacity standard. A 64GB solid-state disk (SSD) drive is an option. The hard drive is a Parallel ATA (PATA) model that operates at 4200 RPM.
At only .76 inches thin and a mere 3lbs, the Macbook Air is the thinnest, lightest, and most versitile laptop ever!
The laptop is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo chip running at 1.6GHz, with 1.8GHz available as an option. Jobs noted that Intel was willing to engineer a new version of the Core 2 Duo specifically to Apple's specifications -- it's 60 percent smaller than others. The chip operates with 4MB of on-chip shared L2 cache running at full processor speed, and uses an 800MHz frontside bus. 2GB of 667MH DDR2 SDRAM is also included.
Like the MacBook and the MacBook Pro, the MacBook Air features a slimmed down MagSafe connector for power. It comes with a 45 watt power adapter. A flip-down door on one side reveals USB 2.0, Micro-DVI (to connect an external display) and a headphone jack. The MacBook Air also includes 802.11n-based wireless networking support and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR.
Apple estimates that with wireless networking turned on, the MacBook Air can get about 5 hours of battery life.
No internal optical drive is included, but Apple will offer a $99 USB 2.0-based add-on SuperDrive for users who need it. For users that opt not to get the optical drive, Apple is offering a new software feature on this machine called Remote Disk; it enables you to "borrow" the optical drive of another Mac or PC on the same network as the MacBook Air, to use for installing software, for example.
Apple's frequently been in the crosshairs of environmental group Greenpeace in recent years. Jobs offered information about the environmental goals behind the MacBook Air -- it has a fully recyclable aluminum case, and is "the first" to have a mercury-free display with arsenic-free glass. All the circuit boards are BFR-free and PVC-free, and the retail packaging uses 56 percent less material than the MacBook packaging. At $1799, It's all in all a pretty damn good deal for what might be the most revolutionary laptop ever. If you want to buy the apple macbook pro, the ABSOLUTE BEST deal online is here Apple MACBOOK AIR only $1,794.00
They offer it not only cheaper than apple, but also with
Free Shipping
Free Parallels Desktop 3.0
Free Epson Stylus Printer, AND
Free laptop carrying case!
-All the best to everyone and thanks for reading my post, till next time- Dave
