Watch Rampage vs. Jones at UFC 135

Though he might not like him, Quinton (Rampage) Jackson realizes that Jon Jones has the potential to dominate Ultimate Fighting Championship for many years to come. In the same breath, however, Jackson is equally insistent that it isn’t Jones’s time just yet.In a match-up between a 32-year-old veteran and a 24-year-old newcomer, Jackson (32-8) looks to regain the UFC light heavyweight title when he takes on Jones (13-1) in Saturday’s main event of UFC 135 at Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado.Unfortunately for those of you looking to lay down a lot of loot, this one might not be the best of cards for you. The betting lines feature a number of mismatches and heavy favorites, in fact the card features only three fights where the favored fighter is less than a 2-to-1 favorite. However, there’s nothing wrong with a couple of parlays to make your odds slightly better (actually, there kind of is, parlays are generally considered sucker bets, but we can’t let a UFC event go by without betting on it.) As always, all betting lines are the current best available market lines from Best Fight OddsJosh Koscheck (17-5), back after nine months on the sideline following a loss last December to welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre, takes on UFC Hall-of-Famer Matt Hughes (46-8).

Google Doodle - Jim Henson's 75th Birthday

Google is celebrating the 75th birthday of Muppets creator Jim Henson with an interactive homepage doodle that turns the average Web user into a puppeteer.
"Become a digital puppeteer today and tomorrow with our homepage tribute to Jim Henson!" Google tweeted.
Henson's birthday is on Saturday, September 24, but Google got the party started early Friday night. The doodle features six original characters crafted by the Jim Henson Digital Puppetry Studio and brought to life on the Web by Google engineers. Each colorful creature sits atop a small button; press it and the character will follow your mouse's movements. Clicking on the character, meanwhile, will make it "talk."The six new Muppets were designed expressly for this project. The Jim Henson Company says the Google partnership is a way to ”commemorate and elebrate Jim’s creative legacy.” (Google tweeted: “Become a digital puppeteer today and tomorrow with our homepage tribute to Jim Henson!”)

“He loved gadgets and technology,” Brian Henson, chairman of the Jim Henson Company, writes about his dad in a Google blog tribute. “Following his lead, The Jim Henson Company continues to develop cutting-edge technology for animatronics and digital animation, ... But I think even he would have found it hilarious the way today some people feel that when they’ve got their smartphone, they no longer need their brain.”Henson died aged 53 in 1990, yet his legacy, including characters from "Sesame Street" and "The Muppet Show," has wafted merrily into cultural history.
Google's little homage is a fine tribute to a man who, apparently, began every one of his new creations with, well, a doodle.
