#10:
SNEAKER: COMMON PROJECTS SAFARI BOOT
RELEASE: JANUARY+
• Common Projects isn’t new, and neither is the Safari Boot, but the brand has been picking up steam and it’s hitting hard in ‘09. If you can afford it, stockpile the myriad of materials that CP is bringing this year.
#9:
SNEAKER: AIR JORDAN V TORO BRAVO PACK
RELEASE: MAY
• Mess with the Bulls, you’re gonna get the h…two pairs of Fives! One all-black 3M, one red suede. The weed dealer that lives in the apartment below you has these, so know these are solid and get a dope hood pass.
#8:
SNEAKER: COMMONWEALTH X REEBOK PUMP OMNI LITE
RELEASE: JUNE
• These technically haven’t dropped yet (another week or so), but Omar and his crew did such sick job re-interpreting the shop’s first Pump, and these are even better.
#7
SNEAKER: VANS X KICKS/HI “3 Feet High” Half Cab
RELEASE: JUNE
• Hawaii is a hell of a place, and these sneakers boil it all down for you. Simple, relaxed, whatever you like. Perf suede = banger.
#6:
SNEAKER: NEW BALANCE MT580 GORE-TEX
RELEASE MONTH: MARCH
• The MT580 was a highly anticipated silhouette that we finally got to U.S. shores in late 2008. Since it’s appeared at American retail, it’s only gotten better, and this GORE-TEX version took it up another notch.
#5:
SNEAKER: NIKE DUNK HIGH NYLON
RELEASE: JANUARY+
• There is a certain magazine that just killed it with a signature version of these, and the nylon Dunks should be one of your top acquisitions from late ‘08 up until now (they’ve released about 10 versions so far). If you’ve missed, there is still hope - a few colorways are set to drop for Fall so stay tuned.
#4:
SNEAKER: SUPRA TK SOCIETY
RELEASE: MAY
• Terry Kennedy stays killing it, and the Society comes in as one of the top sneakers for the first half of ‘09. Yeezy killers? Kennedy thinks so.

#2:
SNEAKER: adidas CONSORTIUM 3-WAY NIZZA HIGH
RELEASE: MAY
• We first saw dope jersey material on adidas’ collaboration with VA from the A to ZX series, and these take it to the next level. It took four shops (DQM, HUF, Goodfoot, and UNDFTD) to come up with these bangers, but it’s hands down one of the best collabs of the first half of the year.
#1:
SNEAKER: NIKE AIR YEEZY
RELEASE: MAY-JUNE
• We’ve never heard of these, but they look cool! Hate it or love it, but there hasn’t been another sneaker with as much hype, news, and lining up as Kanye’s signature release. #1, no matter what you have to say about it.

Time to save the world
The Obama administration today plans to propose tough standards for tailpipe emissions from new automobiles, establishing the first nationwide regulation for greenhouse gases.
It will also raise fuel efficiency targets to 35.5 miles per gallon for new passenger vehicles and light trucks by 2016, four years earlier than required under the 2007 energy bill, sources close to the administration said.
The measures are significant steps forward for the administration's energy agenda by cutting greenhouse-gas emissions that contribute to climate change and by easing U.S. dependence on oil, most of which is imported.
The administration is embracing standards stringent enough to satisfy the state of California, which has been fighting for a waiver from federal law so that it could set its own guidelines, sources said. Govs. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-Calif.) and Jennifer M. Granholm (D-Mich.) will be among a variety of state and industry officials who plan to attend an announcement today, according to sources close to the administration.
The deal has been under negotiation since the first days of the administration. It represents a compromise between the White House; the state of California; and the auto industry, which has long sought national mileage standards and has waged an expensive legal battle against the California waiver. The industry will get its national standard, but at the price of one that approximates California's targets. Industry officials said they would drop all related lawsuits.
David McCurdy, president of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, said that the agreement reached late Sunday night would provide the industry with "clarity and predictability."
That predictability won't come cheap. A senior administration official said the new standards would raise the cost of an average car by $1,300, $600 of which could be attributed to the rules being announced today. The remaining increase would stem from previous energy policy.
"Consumers can retain choice but for more fuel-efficient cars. Every single category of car will be more efficient," the official said, noting that fuel savings would offset much of the higher cost.
The announcement planned for today marks a major change in tone from the Bush administration, which had rejected California's waiver in March 2008, barring states from setting their own limits on greenhouse-gas emissions from automobiles. At the time, 13 other states and the District of Columbia were also seeking permission to impose standards similar to California's.
Obama had ordered the Environmental Protection Agency to reconsider the ruling.
Under the compromise, the federal government will establish two sets of standards, one for mileage and one for tailpipe emissions of carbon dioxide.
The Transportation Department's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will set the new fuel-economy standards, which would raise the average fuel efficiency of a new car by 30 percent. Cars, for instance, would need to average 39 miles per gallon by 2016 while light trucks would need to reach 30 mpg.
The EPA, using its power to regulate carbon dioxide emissions under a 2007 Supreme Court ruling, plans a tailpipe emissions standard of 250 grams per mile for vehicles sold in 2016, roughly the equivalent of what would be emitted by vehicles meeting the mileage standard. Vehicles sold in 2009 are expected to emit about 380 grams per mile, industry sources said. The EPA needs to go through a rulemaking process to allow responses before the standards would go into effect.
One person involved in the negotiation said the Supreme Court's ruling on regulating emissions helped push companies to bargain because they feared the prospect of having to comply with separate EPA standards in addition to those from NHTSA and California.
"That's what brought the companies to the table," the person said.
In addition, many of the automakers that originally fought California's standards are now struggling for survival and in a weaker position to fight. Their opposition also waned after last year's high gasoline prices and consumers' newfound frugality shifted the mix of vehicles being sold toward more fuel-efficient models. General Motors said yesterday that in 2008, its cars got an average of 29.7 miles a gallon, higher than the 27.5 requirement; its new trucks got 23.2 mpg, higher than the 22.6-mpg requirement for last year.
"We are pleased that President Obama is taking decisive and positive action as we work together toward one national standard for vehicle fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions that will be good for the environment and the economy," Ford said in a statement.
The EPA is also expected to impose restrictions on greenhouse-gas emissions resulting from leaks of air-conditioning coolant in vehicles. The automakers would be able to use some credits for complying with those regulations to offset a small part of fuel-efficiency requirements, sources familiar with the talks said.
California made modest concessions in the negotiations. From 2012 to 2015, the new mileage standards will be slightly less stringent than required under California's rules, which will be amended. In addition, EPA and NHTSA will use the federal approach of pegging standards to the "attributes" of vehicles, such as size and engine type, said sources familiar with the negotiations. California, by contrast, used just two broad categories of vehicles.
Sources close to the administration said the EPA would still grant a waiver to California at the end of June, but that the state would not exercise it in light of the new national standards.
Proponents of tougher fuel-efficiency standards hailed reports of today's announcement.
"If media reports are true, after years of oil price inflation, policy stagnation and automotive industry litigation, President Obama has solved the energy and economic policy equivalent of a Rubik's Cube," said Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), who was a principal author of the 35-mpg standard that Congress adopted in 2007.
"In addition to dramatically reducing the global warming emissions from our vehicles, this move will slash our dependence on oil and make us more energy independent," Sierra Club executive director Carl Pope said in a statement. "Congress put us on the road toward more fuel efficient vehicles two years ago when it passed the first increase in fuel economy standards in more than 30 years. Now President Obama is dramatically accelerating our progress."

Bailout Report Card: How Successful Have the Financial-Relief Efforts Been?
From Time Magizine
You have probably read about the $700 billion approved by Congress in a contentious vote in early October. But that's only the most public portion of the money the government is shelling out to restart the nation's stalled financial system. In the past 16 weeks, the government has pledged, loaned or invested some $10 trillion to fix ailing banks, jump-start financial markets and keep the automakers from bankruptcy.
The final cost won't be that high, since most of the assets the government is buying or insuring have some value. Nonetheless, the past few months have been expensive ones for U.S. taxpayers. Have the efforts been successful? It depends how low you set the bar. Our financial system hasn't fully collapsed, but neither is it repaired. "The bailout programs have bought us time, but they haven't fixed the problems, and in some ways they have exacerbated them," says Edward Yardeni, who heads his own economic consulting firm.
In late December, the government finished spending the first half of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, making now a perfect time for a report card on TARP and the many other assistance efforts the government has pursued. One effort, the recent auto-industry bailout, is too new to assess. But as for the other government efforts, although there are some bright spots, it's far from a sterling review. Read on and weep:

The WORKPLACE JUMP-OFF, a.k.a "Staff Meating"
PRO: Gives Hump Day a whole new meaning; thanks to advances in science, it's finally safe to shit where you eat.
CON: It's practically like living with the chick.
SEX WITH THE EX, a.k.a "Comfort Food"
PRO: She already knows how to press your buttons.
CON: She's more likely than any of them to think it's actually going someplace.
RANDOM HOOKUPS, a.k.a "In-N-Out"
PRO: Fast, cheap and easy. Plus you can get it "animal style."
CON: Too much mystery could mean E.Coli for your jimmy

Dopeness
Ryan Leslie expirements with guitar for "How it was supposed 2 be". I can dig it, He says
"How It Was Supposed To Be" is one of the most personal songs on my album and for my live performances, I arranged this guitar driven version to capture the angst and confusion that I was going through when I recorded it. The response was so crazy at my show in Chicago that we played the song twice in a row to an engaged, enthusiastic audience.
Based on this reaction, I decided to record this version and have Guillaume Doubet visually interpret it. Here is the gritty result with Brent Paschke on guitar, Eric Coomes on bass, and Brad Colton on drums."
