Mullaly drops in at highest-volume Ford dealer for some face time

Last week Ford CEO Alan Mulally visited a Blue Oval dealership in Dearborn and helped move three units off the showroom floor in 40 minutes. This week he further fulfilled his promise to walk in the shoes of a dealer for a day by visiting Galpin Motors in North Hills, CA. Galpin isn't a Ford dealership, it's the Ford dealership, regularly posting the highest volume of sales in the country. It's side business, Galpin Auto Sports, is where MTV tapes Pimp My Ride. Automotive News didn't report that Mulally got to sell any vehicles during his stop off at Galpin like he did at Village Ford in Dearborn, but the CEO did spend some time touring the dealership's entire facility. We're not sure if Mulally has satisfied his verbal commitment to be a dealer for a day, or if visits like this might become common place in the future.

Video games grow up as ownership by adults rises

LOS ANGELES: Video games aren't just for the kids anymore. More than one in three US adults who go online, or 37%, own a video game console and 16% own a portable gaming device, Nielsen//NetRatings said. The majority of those console owners, 71%, are married, and 66% have at least one child in the household. "As game consoles have become increasingly sophisticated, families have incorporated them into their centralised home media centres, which include the television, digital recording device, digital music player and the PC," said Carolyn Creekmore, senior director of media analytics, Nielsen//NetRatings. Microsoft and Sony are positioning their Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles as entertainment hubs for gaming, music and photo viewing amid a fierce battle for dominance in the $30 billion global video- game market.

Skin Care Treatment Products for Acne May Exacerbate the Problem

Although acne is generally considered to be an oily skin problem caused by excess sebum production, those with dry skin are just as susceptible. In fact, it is possible that that adult acne now affecting about 20 percent of the population and climbing - is caused by years of using harsh skin care treatment products that eventually result in dry skin, which then leads to acne. Acne treatment products then further dry the skin and youre off into the vicious cycle of the cure becoming the cause. How do you handle this? As always, prevention is the easiest route - best done by choosing skin care treatment products that dont cause dry skin or other damage but, no matter what your skin type, if you understand what causes acne, you will find it much easier to prevent, and cure. Heres how it works.

Help Your PC's Graphics Make Vista and XP Sparkle

Windows Vista clearly ups the ante on PC graphics power. No matter how basic or advanced your machine, chances are you can upgrade its graphics hardware to run Vista's Aero interface--or improve XP--for viewing online videos, playing games, and using other graphics-heavy apps.

Find the connection: If the video connector on the back of your PC is next to the USB, PS/2, and other ports that are attached directly to the motherboard, your system has integrated graphics. Make sure your computer has an open AGP or PCI Express x16 slot.

If your PC does not automatically disable the old graphics processor when a new card is installed, enter your system's BIOS (watch for the key to press when your system starts but before Windows loads) and disable the setting for integrated graphics.

The Undoubtedly Negro Sport of Hockey?

This article is part of a series in celebration of a new, dynamic voice in Black America: the NUBIANO Exchange. Brace yourself for the NUBIANO experience. by Michael HutsonFor as long as anyone can remember, the performance of the organized sport has been one of the most cherished pastimes of American culture. From an entertainment perspective, sporting institutions have created many financial gains for corporate entities.

From a social perspective, they have served not only as blatantly visible achievements for young athletes, but also as a divider for who’s who among the social hierarchy. Few other countries have succeeded in cultivating as many mainstream sports as the United States; however, few countries have succeeded in creating such racial boundaries within these sports as well.Just about every sport has a predominant race that is supposedly "the best" at doing it.
