RECAP: The Big Bang Theory season 2 episode 13 The Friendship Algorithm


Socially awkward, Sheldon develops a scientific procedure for making friends. He needs to use an open science grid computer that is in Barry Kripke's office, but Leonard tells Sheldon that only Barry's friends can use it. After repeated rebuffs from Kripke, Sheldon finds a children's book in the bookstore (where he is hurried out by Leonard who finds him innocently chatting to a little girl in view of a security camera)about how to make friends. He designs a flowchart for accomplishing this task. He goes rock climbing with Kripke but faints halfway up when he sees how far he has come. Sheldon invites him over to his apartment, much to the disgust of everyone else. Raj is informed he is being replaced by Kripke as five friends would be too many to handle. Barry then tells Sheldon there is a sign-up sheet for the computer and Barry has no control over it. Sheldon then dismisses Barry as his friend and goes back to his other four friends: Leonard, Howard, Raj, and Penny. (The title refers to Sheldon's algorithm for social meeting and developing a friendship.)

Jennifer Hudson Super Bowl video/Jennifer Hudson Super Bowl 43


jennifer hudson super bowl, jennifer hudson national anthemIt was a fitting comeback for Jennifer Hudson at Super Bowl 43 (Super Bowl XLIII) as she sang the national anthem before a capacity crowd in Tampa and before millions who were watching it live on television. Dressed elegantly in a studded black military-style jacket over a simple white blouse, the she went up to the small stage to the roar of the appreciative crowd. It must have been an awesome feeling to receive such a welcome after all that she had gone through in recent months.

I'm sure many of you know what happened to her family a few months back - how her mother and brother were killed in their home in Chicago, and how

her nephew was found dead a couple of days later slump in the back of an SUV. The suspect in the killings is her estranged brother-in-law now in police custody. It was a tragic blow to her life, seemingly perfect before the incident - a successful career, a debut album, an engagement to her long-time boyfriend. She canceled all public appearances since then and understandably so. She hasn't been in the limelight since then.

Jennifer Hudson was understandably nervous with this Super Bowl XLIII appearance and it showed. She let out a big sigh right before she sang the national anthem and let out a bigger one right after it. And the crowd was very appreciative though the song was pre-taped for the proceedings. Though she never smiled throughout her performance, I am sure she also appreciated the crowd's response. And with this performance, I hope it will be the start of her comeback to the spotlight. Welcome back, Jennifer Hudson!

Michael Phelps bong picture / Michael Phelps marijuana (pot) photo


phelps bong, phelps pot dopeMichael Phelps smoking pot? Is there a Michael Phelps marijuana picture? There were sketchy reports earlier today that Michael Phelps was caught smoking from a bong, a water pipe normally used for smoking marijuana. Initially downplayed as a rumor, it has recently been confirmed by Michael Phelps himself who issued an official statement and public apology. Phelps has acknowledged that the photo of him smoking pot released by British paper News of the World is true and genuine (see the photo HERE). The photo was reportedly taken at the University of South Carolina in Columbia where Michael Phelps was visiting a female student. Their relationship was being kept under

wraps to avoid publicity but has now exploded into the media because of this controversy . Here is the statement released by the Olympic champion: (Photo courtesy of Flickr/Karen Blaha)

I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment. I'm 23 years old and despite the successes I've had in the pool, I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public it will not happen again.


News of the World also reports that Michael Phelps has been partying each night he was there. this is, of course, no surprise as there have been numerous reports of the same in other places where the Olympic gold medalist visited since winning in Beijing. Looks like Michael is making up for lost opportunities when he was deep in training for the Olympics.

The British newspaper also claims that people from the Phelps camp allegedly tried to stop them from publishing the photos and offered the paper extraordinary incentives not to publish their story. That is quite understandable due to the damage this news has done to the image of the champion. I just hope he is sincere in his apology and promise to let it happen again. BTW, when he said it won't happen again, did Michael Phelps mean he won't do it again or he won't get caught again? Just a thought.
