Put Your Best Faceball Forward

Faceball is the newest sport to come out of the cubicle jungle. The game involves hitting your opponents in the face with a ball. That’s right, Cubicle Connie—it’s time to show your colleagues the stuff you’re really made of! Beyond that, there only a few rules: Players that are seated 10ft (3m) apart take turns hitting each other in the face. You are not allowed to move. Only direct hits count. The official website discourages using medicine or other heavy, hard balls. You can actually buy an “official” Faceball, which is really just a plastic beach ball.

Chari-tees?

Lance Armstrong and Nike announced a deal today that would make the LiveStrong brand more than just bracelets. A full line of tee shirts, jackets and even LiveStrong sneakers are in the works for next season. There hasn't been anything quite like it in fashion before, MAC Viva Glam and Gap were charity initiatives born out of huge companies, but not the other way around.
