The Original Version That Aired On T.V. Is The One That Just Shows The Kids. Somebody Split Screen It With The Actual Jordan Moves… Dope. Why Is It That That Normal Background Music Is Half The Reason I Like This Commercial?

Remake:
Miami Heat guard Dwayne Wade gave one Florida family a big gift over the holiday season—a new home.
Wade was motivated after hearing the story of Dawn Smith. The woman lost all of her possessions after her nephew accidentally set fire to the home, burning it to the ground.
On Christmas Eve, Wade came to the rescue, presenting Smith with the keys to a brand new home.
In addition to the building, Wade, courtesy of his Wade’s World Foundation also provided furniture, clothing and gifts for the Smith family. According to an EUR Web report, the foundation will also make several payments on the home to further help the family recover.
“It’s not about what you’re going to receive — it’s what you can give to others from what you’ve received,” Wade said of the act.
“We can help this family have a new beginning.”
Wade also donated $30,000 to three children’s organizations and hosted 100 children at Tuesday’s Miami Heat game.
That’s Very Commendable Of Him. The NBA Should Spotlight Stories Like This.

Crooked I-Crooked He Go Hard
A Japanese research team has invented a technology that if completed could display people’s thoughts and dreams on a computer screen.
Researchers at the ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories say they have succeeded in processing and displaying images directly from the human brain that may open the door to unexplored dimensions of the brain and shed light on the function of dreams in the human psyche.
The study is still in its primitive stages and so far the images that the team has managed to pick up from electrical signals of the brain are still very simple. The research team, however, hopes to eventually use the technology to figure out dreams and visualize what people imagine in their minds.
When people look at an object, the eye’s retina recognizes an image that is converted into electrical signals which go into the brain’s visual cortex.
The team, led by chief researcher Yukiyasu Kamitani, succeeded in catching these signals and then reconstructing what people see on screen.
In their experiment, the researchers showed people the six letters in the word “neuron” and then succeeded in reconstructing the letters on a computer screen by measuring their brain activity.
The team said that it first figured out people’s individual brain patterns by showing them some 400 different still images.

N.J. Man Shocked To Learn Warrant For His Arrest Was Issued After He Tried To Pay $56 Traffic Fine With Coins
NUTLEY, N.J. (CBS) ― A Nutley, N.J. man is putting in his two cents about what he calls a lot of non-cents over a traffic ticket.
He has been trying to pay his fine in pennies, but the town is demanding he change his way of paying.
“It’s very easy to count. It goes in 10s. I mean, there’s five rows of 10s,” Frank Gilberti said.
Gilberti showed 112 rolls of pennies to CBS station WCBS-TV in New York City. He said he thought he could use the coins to pay a traffic fine at the Bloomfield Municipal Court.
“I went to the bank and got $56 worth of rolled pennies and went down to the court house and they refused to take it. They had told me to bring cash. I was under the assumption this was cash.”
Non-cents? Not really. Pennies are legal tender. In fact, at the courthouse WCBS-TV found a sign saying cash is accepted.
That’s why the Nutley resident said he fought back, calling the court and convincing workers there to take his pennies.
But the 22-year-old said there was a condition — that he write his driver’s license number on each roll.
“I simply asked them if I would have to do just this if I were handing in $56 bill. Would I have to write my driver’s license number on each bill? They had no response,” Gilberti said.
And even more shocking he said: “Then I found out there was a warrant out for my arrest.”
The funeral home employee paid a $90 bail fee in order to stay out of jail. We went by to get a comment from the court.
But as soon as we got there we were told: “Turn the camera off.”
“It’s injustice. This is U.S. currency accepted all over the country [but] apparently not in Bloomfield, N.J.,” Gilberti said.
Gilberti’s got a court date Tuesday morning and he plans on taking all of these pennies with him, all 112 rolls.
I Always Thought Of Green Paper When Referring To “Cash”. All The While Me Technically Knowing That Coins Are Legal Tender Also. On The Same Token, I’d Have Enough Common Sense To Not Bring NOTHING BUT PENNIES To Pay A Fine. He Tried To Make A Mockery Of The Courts, And They Locked His Ass Up. Yet He Still Is Gonna Chance It…Good Luck Man.
