Pixel Hearts 8-bit Owl Diesel Sweeties creator R. Stevens partnered with Philadelphia-based LympheDivas to design a stylish line of compression sleeves and gauntlets for people with cancer. Breast cancer survivor Lori Dorn explains how the sleeves help cancer patients, “Lymphedema is a condition that can affect anyone who has had a disruption in their lymphatic system. The use of a compression garment has shown to be useful in lessening the symptoms of lymphedema.” Xeni Jardin of Boing Boing talks about how she helped the collaboration between R. Stevens and LympheDIVAs come about. A portion of each sale of the sleeves benefits the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. via Boing Boing Thanks Lori Dorn!

Hey Bucs Nation! While we wait for the season to being I've got a question for you guys: what will next year's trap game be? I feel every year the Bucs always beat a team they shouldn't have and / or lose against a team they shouldn't have. Each team will be judged by their record from the previous year compared to the Bucs record (7-9). To make things easier I took away division rivals so you can't pick the Saints, Falcons, or Panthers. For the purposes of this topic Miami and the teams we lost to last year but still ended with a worse record than the Bucs are in the losing team category. So who do you think it'll be? Which Team With A Winning Record Will We Upset? @NE (12-4) SF (11-4-1) @SEA (11-5) @STL (7-8-1) Which Team With A Losing Record Will We Be Upset By? MIA (7-9) @NYJ (6-10) BUF (6-10) ARI (5-11) DET (4-12) PHI (4-12) For the losing record team, I feel like Arizona will be the team. Their defense is underrated with them finishing fifth in passing yards allowed (though they did suck against the run) and with the addition of Palmer, Fitzgerald has someone who knows how to throw the ball. Though Palmer is on the downward slope of his career, he still put up over 4000 yards with 22 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. I'm sure Revis will be all over Fitzgerald but I can see this being the one we let slip away. For the winning record team, the easy answer is St Louis. It's hard to win in Seattle plus I don't like East Coast teams traveling to play on the West Coast. Though on paper, the pass defense is much improved I don't think we can stop Brady and Belichick in New England. San Francisco at home? We would need a lot of things to go our away with their dominant defense and one of last year's phenom in Colin Kaepernick. I would add a poll but it would have to be two polls and I don't think this page allows that. Hey Bucs Nation!

Coinciding with the celebration of Pride this month, Christie's has announced an online-only auction of 200 photographs, prints and drawings by Andy Warhol that focus on the male nude. The pieces are available to bid on now through June 27 online (warning: link work-unfriendly).  From Christie's: "Throughout his career, Warhol depicted male nudes through photography or drawing, often using gay underground culture as his backdrop. His visual explorations of the complexity of sexuality and desire chronicle the momentous changes within the gay community in the late 20th century,when many young men were flocking to urban centers such as New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans from their suburban and rural hometowns. With the anonymity of the city came the opportunity for a subculture that was both self sustaining and self defining. Warhol himself moved from Pittsburgh to New York in the summer of 1949, and witnessed first hand both the blossoming of the gay community in the 1970s and the beginnings of the AIDS epidemic that battered the community in the 1980s." Check out a few more images of works (a preview exclusive to Towleroad) that are up for auction AFTER THE JUMP... "It's hard work to look like the complete opposite of what nature made you and then to be an imitation...of what was only a fantasy...in the first place."— Andy Warhol Lot 71ANDY WARHOL (1928-1987) Man at Pool Party dated 'Aug 02 1982' (on the reverse) unique gelatin silver print 10 x 8 in.

July 9-10, 2013 San Francisco, CA Tickets On Sale Now FindTheCompany launched out of beta today to give you the lowdown on businesses. The business research site provides information on more than 30 million US companies. Consumers, business owners, investors, analysts, sales people etc… can use the engine to learn more about a company before doing businesses with them or refine searches with filters for location, industry, employee count, annual sales etc… The engine aggregates information from various sources. Financials for public companies come from Xignite, information on government contracts from the US government, business histories, and product and service listings from sister site FindTheBest. All this data is collected into profiles and then turned into visualizations based on the data, so consumers are looking at more than just spreadsheets of statistics. “We’re putting the power of knowledge in the hands of consumers and small businesses – people who normally don’t have easy access to all the incredible information that’s available on US companies,” said FindTheBest founder and CEO Kevin O’Connor in an email. “Now it’s simple to make informed decisions about companies, products and services based on the facts.” O’Connor said that people now expect better,  more-tailored search portals for finding the information they need. He founded FindTheBest.com in 2009 after growing tired of all the sites claiming to tell you what was best, whether it was colleges, credit cards, or insurance, when often they were eating paid to promote certain products and services. FindTheBest is meant to provide an objective comparison tool for consumers, and FindTheCompany is the next extension of that idea. Competitors include Manta, MerchantCircle, Yellow Pages, and YellowBot. To a lesser extent, the company also competes with social networking sites like Yelp, LinkedIn, and Facebook Pages and paid providers like LexisNexis, Factiva, and Bloomberg. O’Connor said FindTheCompany has better data and a platform, and is free while still providing the same caliber of information as paid providers. The site currently monetizes through display advertising and affiliate revenue, and will soon release a sponsorship product. Before founding FindTheBest, O’Connor founded DoubleClick which sold to Google for $3.1 billion and was an initial investor in ISS which sold to IBM for $1.4 billion. FindTheBest raised $11 million in March from Keliner Perkins Caufield & Byers and New World Ventures, bringing its total capital raised to $17 million. It is based in Santa Barbara, California and has 90 employees.
