>Mavericks eliminate Lakers
小牛4-0横扫卫冕冠军
Jason Terry tied an NBA playoff record with 9 3-pointers and the Dallas Mavericks matched another post-season mark with 20 3s, powering them to a 122-86 victory over the Lakers Monday morning in Beijing time and a sweep of their second-round series, AP reported. The victory puts the Mavs in the Western Conference finals, ends the latest Lakers dynasty and sends their coach Phil Jackson into retirement.

手机语音充电成为现实
Engineers in South Korea have developed a new technique for turning sound into electricity, allowing a mobile to be powered up while its user holds a conversation, the Daily Telegraph of London reported. The technology would also be able to harness background noise and even music to charge a phone while it is not in use. It uses tiny strands of zinc oxide sandwiched between 2 electrodes. A sound absorbing pad on top vibrates when sound waves hit it, causing the tiny zinc oxide wires to compress and release. This movement generates an electrical current that can then be used to charge a battery.
据英国《每日电讯报》报道，韩国的工程师们发明了一种能将声音转化成电流的新技术，这就使得人们在讲电话的同时也能为手机充电。该技术也能利用周围噪音甚至音乐来为不在使用中的手机充电。其原理是将极小的氧化锌电线夹在两个电极之间，一块吸音垫置于其上，当声波传来时，即发生震动，导致氧化锌电线压缩和拉伸，从而产生电流并最终可用于电池充电。>Bin Laden products explode

唐纳德·特朗普曾经是美国最具知名度的房地产商之一，人称"地产之王"，如今进军政坛，这是否会对他的品牌价值有所影响呢？默维联合品牌服务公司(Movéo Integrated Branding)的分析与品牌总监凯文·兰道(Kevin Randall)说：
"I think the actual flirtation [with the presidency] as opposed to committing [to it] really heightens the value."
"我觉得相比于真正投身政治，拿竞选总统来炒作一下更能提升品牌价值。" 【Newsmakers】

>Topless coffee shop to close
美赤裸咖啡店被迫关门
A coffee shop with topless waitresses, which has caused a storm of protest in a small town, has been forced to close after it put up a "boobies wanted" sign, the Daily Mail of London reported. Grand View Topless Coffee Shop in Vassalboro, Maine, hit the headlines when it opened in 2009, offering to serve customers semi-nude. And despite protests and an arson attack threat, the shop had managed to keep business going. But the controversial store will finally have to close after town officials ruled that it has been putting up signs illegally. They say simply putting up the new signs without permission violated zoning rules. The owner of the coffee shop Donald Crabtree said: "I wanted to have some fun; I wanted to see people smile, but now my smile's gone."
