Winter Olympic Opening Ceremony Outfits Revealed

Team USA has unveiled its Opening Ceremony uniforms for its 400 athletes and 200 officials. Created by Ralph Lauren, the uniforms are sourced from domestic vendors following widespread protests in 2012 that the American uniforms were made overseas.

"We've learned a lot," David Lauren, Ralph's son and the company's executive vice president of global advertising, marketing and communications, said in USA Today. "This is an important issue for many Americans and one we have fully embraced, and we want to continue to lead the way and find all kinds of vendors who can produce amazing products made in America."

The difficulty, Lauren said, was in finding American vendors that could handle the requirements. Most domestic vendors have either shut down or moved overseas.

From Yahoo Movies: Watch Out, Avengers! 'Age of Ultron' Gets Another Bad Guy

Ultron, the super-powerful robot/artificial intelligence/whatever he ends up being, won't be the only formidable foe that Earth's Mightiest Heroes must face in 

"The Avengers: Age of Ultron".

Thomas Kretschmann, star of TV's "Dracula," has been cast as another antagonist in the comic book sequel...Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker, a high-ranking officer of HYDRA, the organization run by Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) in "Captain America: The First Avenger" (2011).  Word has it that Von Strucker will somehow be linked to two new members of the superhero team, Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen).

In the comics, Von Strucker has a healing ability similar to Wolverine's that allows him to cheat death time and time again. We hope the Hulk smashes him against a wall a few times to test the limitations of that power.

It's not really a superhero movie unless there's more that one bad guy!

Internet-connected toothbrush makes

 Consumer Electronic Show debut

From Yahoo! News:

Brush smarter. That's the message from the makers of what is billed as the world's first Internet-connected toothbrush.

Unveiled Sunday at a preview event for the Consumer Electronics Show, the device from French-based Kolibree aims "to reinvent oral care,"

"The idea is not to brush stronger, but smarter."

The Kolibree toothbrush includes a sensor which detects how much tartar is being removed in a brushing. It also records brushing activity so users can maintain a consistent cleaning each time.

How does it work? The device conveys the information wirelessly to a smartphone app.

"When you use a normal toothbrush you never really know what you've cleaned. It might be 30 percent. The only person who really knows is the dentist."

But the app can tell users if they have missed hard-to-clean areas or are not getting a thorough brushing.

Orders will be available initially through Kickstarter from $99 to $200, depending on the model and will include a free mobile app.
