] Stephen Colbert, who plays a phony correspondent on the ] fake-news program "The Daily Show," is getting a real ] promotion. ] ] Comedy Central said yesterday that it was giving Mr. ] Colbert his own show: a half-hour that is expected to ] follow "The Daily Show" on weeknights and will lampoon ] those cable-news shows that are dominated by the ] personality and sensibility of a single host. Think, he ] said, of Bill O'Reilly and Chris Matthews and Sean ] Hannity. ] ] Where "The Daily Show" and its host, Jon Stewart, ] generally spoof the headlines of the day (and the anchors ] and reporters who deliver them), Mr. Colbert's program ] will send up those hosts who have become household names ] doing interviews and offering analyses each night on the ] 24-hour cable news channels. The program, which is ] expected to begin appearing on Comedy Central as soon as ] early fall, is being produced by Mr. Stewart's production ] company, Busboy Productions. Yeah so think "the talking heads" version of the daily show... 'Daily Show' Personality Gets His Own Platform - New York Times |

Three Purdue University industrial designers who tapped into memories of their own childhood cycling misadventures have built a bike that ditches the training wheels but keeps rookies stable. Called SHIFT, it slowly transforms from a tricycle to bicycle configuration as the rider pedals faster, then returns to trike formation as the rider slows down. COOL! -LB No training wheels needed - New trike bike takes fear out of first solo ride |
