Google under EU investigation over online ads

Though this isn't something cool, I found it to be an interesting read:

"In the latest blow to Google’s ever-expanding online ambitions, the European Commission, the executive body of the European Union, has opened an antitrust investigation into Google’s practices in online advertising. According to allegations made by Microsoft’s German subsidiary Ciao.de, British price comparison site Foundem, and French legal search specialist Ejustice, Google has discriminated against competitors by placing their links lower in search results than its own services, thus abusing its dominant position in online search....."

Texans and Titans Get Into Fight

Whew, I'm a big football fan and this past weekend, I saw one of the worse fights between two players on the field.  Holy cow, you just don't see this extent of a fight in the NFL that often.  Andre Johnson of the Texans and Cortland Finnegan of the Titans obviously didn't have much love for one another during the game.  Just minutes prior to the fight, you can actually see them egging each other on.  What occurred one play later, is crazy.  You can read more about it here.

Holiday season is underway across San Diego - San Diego, California News Station - KFMB Channel 8 - cbs8.com

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. The one thing that I have always loved, is the kindness and giving that the salvation army and it's volunteers provide to families that are less fortunate. through donation of others, these families are able to eat hearty warm meals on Thanksgiving day.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Thousands of turkey dinners were served to the needy across San Diego County Thursday.

The Salvation Army held its 28th annual Thanksgiving meal at Golden Hall, where hundreds of families began lining up as early as 7 a.m. for turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. More than 300 volunteers helped to feed an expected 2,000 people.

Because of the anemic economy, more low-income seniors than ever are expected to seek free Thanksgiving meals, including people in their 60s, said Denise Scatena, a spokeswoman for the Gary & Mary West Senior Wellness Center on Fourth Avenue in downtown.

Meanwhile, families of needy students at five San Diego Unified School District campuses were treated to a meal at the House of Blues.

Thousands of runners turned out Thursday morning for 5K runs at the Oceanside Civic Center and in Balboa Park. The latter benefits the homeless services at Father Joe Carroll's St. Vincent de Paul Villages and raises about $4 million annually to help the homeless.

Thursday evening, Bertrand at Mister A's in downtown San Diego held a ceremony to light their Christmas decorations.

Also, Thursday evening the "Holiday of Lights" exhibit opened in Del Mar for the holiday season. The exhibit includes more than 400 lighted, animated scenes along a 1.5-mile route.

Random stuff found online « Anotherfaceinthecrowd

Found this really great site of photos that haven't been shown on the more popular sites. I absolutely love this site. These photos are quite sheek, with great dimensions, color, clarity, and artist invention. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Too many places to find inspirational, interesting, funny images… just not enough places to share. These are the images that I found over the past couple of days that never made it to Twitter, Facebook, or anywhere else… until now. Enjoy.
