Scarlett Johansson is looking to bookend the summer movie season with girl power performances. Coming off the success of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," the actress now heads into solo action.
"Lucy" – Released Friday, July 25.
Cast: Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman.
Plot: A woman being used as a drug mule finds herself with superhuman powers and decides to fight back.
Why I'm excited: The most exciting part, for me, is writer/director Luc Besson. Yes, he's made some iffy movies ("The Family"), but he's also made some of the best ("The Professional"). And let's not forget the visual explosion that was "The Fifth Element."
Besson doesn't direct a lot of movies. "Lucy" is his 14th film since 1985. He's had a prolific writing career with scripts for "The Transporter," "Taken," "District B13″ and "Unleashed." He has a knack for action movies. I still consider "Unleashed" to be a great film that almost no one saw.
He also has a great sense of what makes a villain. Just look at the great performances by actors who have played villains in his films. Gary Oldman in "The Professional" is downright scary and then crazy weird in "The Fifth Element." Bob Hoskins gives a great performance in "Unleashed."
How about the plot? The whole movie surrounds the idea that humans do not use all of the power in our brains. I remember a science professor in college once told me that "people who say that we only use 10 percent of our brains are only using 10 percent of their brain." Big shout out to Prof. Gibbs.
But, we're also talking about science fiction here. So, does the plot hold up in science fiction terms? The trailers make it appear that Lucy basically gets the power of Q from "Star Trek." You know, the power to do whatever the heck you want. Make someone go to sleep? Sure. Turn back time? Snap of your fingers.
Then you throw in Morgan Freeman? Come on son.
What do you think? Will this score at the box office?

What have I loved, so far? Here are my top films of 2014 (SO FAR):

Michael Sheen Offered Lead in Hammer's The Quiet Ones
We have more possible casting news for The Quiet Ones with word coming in via Bloody Disgusting that Michael Sheen has been offered the lead role in Hammer's new flick, putting to rest rumors of Nicolas Cage joining in.
From the Press Release
Guy East and Nigel Sinclair, Co-Chairmen of Exclusive Media and Simon Oakes, Vice-Chairman of Exclusive Media and President & CEO of Hammer announced today that Hammer's latest supernatural thriller/horror, The Quiet Ones, will be presented for the first time at the upcoming European Film Market (EFM).
Written and to be directed by John Pogue (Quarantine 2) and produced by James Gay-Rees (Senna, Exit Through The Gift Shop), The Quiet Ones marks Hammer's follow up to Daniel Radcliffe starrer The Woman in Black, which was released last weekend in the US on 3,000 screens grossing an outstanding $21M.
Inspired by true events, The Quiet Ones tells the story of an unorthodox professor who uses controversial methods and leads his best students off the grid to take part in a dangerous experiment: to create a poltergeist. Based on the theory that paranormal activity is caused by human negative energy, the rogue scientists perform a series of tests on a young patient, pushing her to the edge of sanity. As frightening occurrences begin to take place with shocking and gruesome consequences, the group members quickly realize they have triggered a force more terrifying and evil than they ever could have imagined.
Exclusive Media's President of Worldwide Production & Acquisitions, Tobin Armbrust, will oversee production alongside Director of Development, Shira Rockowitz. Nancy Nayor has commenced casting on the film, which is currently in pre-production and will start shooting in May 2012 in South Africa.
Alex Walton, President of International Sales and Distribution, will handle the international sales at EFM.
John Pogue said: "The Quiet Ones will take its audience on a thrilling ride of jumps, scares, and eerie tingles which, combined with set-pieces of unbearable tension, will propel them through the shadowy chambers that imprison the tortured mind. It's a dark and claustrophobic picture which will portray how human desire can become trapped in an insidious world of its own creation and how you should always…be careful what you wish for."
Simon Oakes, President & CEO of Hammer and Vice Chairman of Exclusive Media said: "We can't wait to showcase The Quiet Ones at EFM. It's an incredibly chilling and sinister picture that we are proud to be a part of."

Pacers Prevail, Beat Heat in Game 1 of East Finals
Joe Robbins/Getty Images(INDIANAPOLIS) — The Indiana Pacers have the Miami Heat figured out for one game at least after their 107-96 win in game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Sunday.
Paul George led the way for Indiana with 24 points and seven assists and both David West and Roy Hibbert added 19 in the victory.
"There's nothing to celebrate. It's not like we won a championship. It's one game," George Hill said. "Yes, it was good, but if we come out and lay an egg on Tuesday, this game doesn't mean anything."
The Pacers had a 19 point lead late in the third and entered the fourth up by 13. West's layup gave Indiana 100-84 lead with 5:07 left.
Dwyane Wade scored 27 and LeBron James had 25 in the loss. Chris Bosh was held to nine points and two rebounds.
"The game's still so fresh. It's too hard to just say, `Well, we need to do this better in Game 2," James said after the Heat lost for just the second time in 10 playoff games. "We need to evaluate our mistakes and things we did in Game 1 first before I can say what we need to bring to Game 2."

ESPN Hires former Warriors Head Coach Mark Jackson Back
Christian Petersen/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Many were waiting to see where former Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson would go following being let go by the team. As it turns out, he's heading back to ESPN to return as an NBA game analyst for the network.
Jackson will get right to work as he'll be part of the commentating crew for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Indiana on Sunday.
Jackson worked along Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen on ESPN until he was hired by the Warriors despite no head coaching experience.
He steadily improved the team during his three seasons with the Warriors. This past season, he led the Warriors to a 51-31 record, which was their best mark since the 1991-1992 season.
It was rumored that Jackson was a candidate for the vacant New York Knicks head coaching position, but he's heading back to the broadcast table.
Jackson went 121-109 with the Warriors, and was replaced by former NBA player and GM, Steve Kerr.

Ibaka Likely Out for Playoffs
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — On Thursday night, Serge Ibaka left Oklahoma City's Game Six win in the third quarter with an apparent leg injury. On Friday, team General Manager Sam Presti announced a Grade 2 strain of the plantaris muscle will most likely keep the power forward out for the remainder of the postseason.
"I just want to express our disappointment for Serge, who, as we all know, is an elite competitor and someone that has proven to be a tremendous teammate," Presti said. "He was playing great basketball throughout the season. He's had a huge impact on our season to date."
The calf injury will sideline Ibaka due to the amount of time it takes to heal as well as the high reinjury rate. Ibaka was averaging 12.2 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game during the playoffs, helping the Thunder reach the Western Conference finals. Even with the injury, Presti feels his team still has a chance against top-seed San Antonio in the West.
"We have had this group together for a while, and they've been through some ups and downs, and this is just another one that hopefully is only going to make us better," Presti noted in a conference call with reporters.
Oklahoma City won all four meetings with the Spurs in the regular season. Game One of the series will begin on Monday night in Texas.

Trail Blazers Extend Head Coach Terry Stotts
Christopher Trotman/Getty Images(PORTLAND, Ore.) — The Portland Trail Blazers announced that they have signed head coach Terry Stotts to a multiyear contract extension.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Stotts led the Trail Blazers to a 54-28 record this past season. The team made the playoffs for the first time since 2011, but they fell to the San Antonio Spurs in five games in the Western Conference semifinals.
"Terry has done an outstanding job during his first two years with the organization," general manager Neil Olshey said in a statement. "This extension illustrates our confidence in him as our head coach as well as the Portland Trail Blazers' continued commitment to building a model of consistency and stability."
In two seasons with the Blazers, Stotts has posted an 87-77 record. He was also an assistant coach with the Dallas Mavericks for four seasons prior to arriving in Portland, helping the Mavericks win the NBA title in 2011.

Stan Van Gundy Introduced in Detroit
NBA via Getty Images(AUBURN HILLS, Mich.) — The Detroit Pistons introduced new head coach and president of basketball operations Stan Van Gundy on Thursday.
Van Gundy received a five-year deal worth $35 million and is looking forward to his new home in Detroit.
"One of the big problems at least in our league right now in a lot of places is there is not a great connection necessarily between front office and coaching," Van Gundy said. "This setup — nothing to do with power — it allows us to really create a tremendous synergy and a very unified organization."
Van Gundy will have the task of dealing with another talented big man after coaching Dwight Howard in Orlando and Shaquille O'Neal in Miami.
"I think we have two responsibilities to Andre Drummond that will help our team, and that is, number one, to do everything we possibly can to develop him as a player," Van Gundy said. "And then secondly, we have a responsibility to put a system and personnel around him that allow him to thrive."
Van Gundy inherits a team that went 29-53 last season, but has a 371-208 coaching record in seven-plus seasons with the Heat and Magic.
"This is the most important decision we have made as an organization," owner Tom Gores said. "Not only did we hire a coach and president of basketball, we are resetting the culture of the franchise. I'm so confident that this is going to work."

Sterling May Refuse to Pay Fine, Sue NBA
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling isn't going away that easy.
An attorney for the banned owner says that not only will Sterling refuse to pay a $2.5 million fine, but that he may sue the NBA if not afforded due process.
Antitrust lawyer Max Blecher reportedly sent a letter to NBA commissioner Adam Silver detailing the potential for a lawsuit. According to SI.com, Blecher's correspondence stated that "no punishment is warranted" for Sterling's racist comments made in April. The letter also declared that Sterling's "due process rights" were violated during the league's investigation.
The fine imposed on Sterling was due this week but has not been paid and, according to Blecher, it will not be paid.
Sterling was banned for life by Silver who has advocated for league owners to oust the Clippers owner from the NBA.
A 75 percent majority vote from the other 29 owners is needed to remove Sterling from his position with the franchise. His ownership could also be terminated if the fine is not paid within 30 days of notice.

Thunder Advance to Western Conference Finals
Stephen Dunn/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES, Calf.) — Kevin Durant made just one of his first seven shots but turned in another MVP performance to lift Oklahoma City past Los Angeles, 104-98, to advance to the Western Conference Finals. Durant had 39 points and 16 rebounds in Game Six to finish out the series with the Clippers while Russell Westbrook added 22 points and 12 assists.
The Thunder had to mount another double-digit comeback, trailing by sixteen early in the second quarter. Durant would connect on three straight 3-point shots to bring Oklahoma City to within five 41-36 with 4:27 remaining in the first half before trailing by eight heading into the locker room. The league's Most Valuable Player finished the game going 5-of-8 from beyond the arc.
At the beginning of the third, Los Angeles seemed to have the edge and kept the Thunder at arm's length. A J.J. Redick basket gave the Clippers a 62-54 advantage with under six minutes to play in the frame, but Oklahoma City went on another run behind strong defense and better shooting. Nick Collison's three-pointer at the buzzer tied the game at 72-72 heading into the fourth.
Both teams trading buckets to open the period with Chris Paul knotting the game at 80 apiece four minutes in. However, the next two minutes belonged to Oklahoma City as the Thunder scored 10 straight points to seize control. Los Angeles got as close as six the rest of the way, but Oklahoma City hit their free throws down the stretch to ensure the win.
The Thunder were 29-of-33 (87.9%) from the charity stripe while Los Angeles was just 12-for-20 (60%). Meanwhile, Oklahoma City's defense held the hot-shooting Clippers to just 6-of-21 from downtown. Paul had 25 points and 11 assists for the Clippers to pace the offense. Teammate Blake Griffin fouled out after scoring 22 points and picking up eight rebounds to go along with eight assists.
Los Angeles must now face a difficult offseason following the racist comments from owner Donald Sterling, as well as two epic collapses in their final two games of the season. Oklahoma City will move on to face San Antonio in the Western Conference Finals beginning Monday night in Texas.

Indiana Closes Out Wizards, Face Heat Next
Rob Carr/Getty Images(WASHINGTON, D.C.) — Despite a stumbling first round victory, the Indiana Pacers looked back to form on Thursday night when they beat Washington 93-80 to finish off the series four games to two. Indiana now advances to the Eastern Conference Finals to face defending champion Miami in a rematch of last year's conference finals.
"We're ready to go," said Pacers head coach Frank Vogel. "I like the way we played this series. We have nothing but the utmost respect for the champs and we're excited to have another crack at them."
The Game Six win was not an easy one for the Pacers as they blew a 16-point second half lead before using their defense to pull away late. Washington was held scoreless for more than four minutes in the second quarter, giving Indiana a 52-40 halftime advantage. That was eventually erased, and the Wizards took a 74-73 lead with 8:30 to play.
However, David West came right back and hit a jumper to put the Pacers ahead for good. That basket triggered a 20-6 run to close out the game — and the series. West finished the game with 29 points, including 18 in the second half, to pace all scorers.
John Wall was held to just 12 points for the Wizards and was 0-4 from three-point range. Marcin Gortat was Washington's leading scorer with 19 points. The Wizards advanced to the second round of the playoffs for the first time since 2005 and won a second round game for the first since 1982.
It has been a puzzling season for Indiana, who held a 46-13 record on March 2 before limping into the playoffs. After being pushed to seven games by eighth-seeded Atlanta in the first round, and losing Game 1 at home to Washington, the Pacers played impressively on the road and are 5-4 away from home in the postseason.
Indiana will now host the back-to-back champs in Game One on Sunday in Indianapolis. The Pacers and Heat went a full seven games last season with Miami defeating Indiana 99-76 in the decisive game.

Heat Advance to Eastern Conference Finals
Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images(MIAMI) – Don't look now, but the Miami Heat are back in the Eastern Conference finals for the fourth year in a row.
LeBron James and Dwayne Wade combined to score 57 points as the Heat rallied to defeat the Brooklyn Nets 96-94 on Wednesday night, winning their second-round matchup in five games.
"When we met the first day for prep, we said the No. 1 key, overwhelmingly the No. 1 key in this series, was great mental stability," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said after the two-time defending champions won their 10th straight playoff series.
The Nets led by eight with under five minutes remaining and were looking to take the series back to Brooklyn for Game 6. The Heat went on a 12-0 run to take the lead for good, while the Nets missed nine straight shots. Ray Allen hit a huge three-pointer to give Miami a 93-91 lead with 32 seconds remaining.
"Give the Heat credit," Nets coach Jason Kidd said. "They were attacking there in the fourth quarter. We were attacking. Both teams were attacking. They made plays, they made shots and we didn't."
Joe Johnson led the Nets with 34 points, while Paul Pierce chipped in 19.
Miami will face either the Indiana Pacers or the Washington Wizards in the Eastern Conference finals.

Steve Kerr Hired by Warriors
Jed Jacobson/Getty Images(NEW YORK) – The Golden State Warriors have hired Steve Kerr to be their next head coach.
After turning down a chance to coach the New York Knicks, Kerr agreed to a five-year, $25 million deal to replace the fired Mark Jackson in Golden State.
"They have a good young team. The location is ideal," Kerr said on Wednesday night. "My daughter goes to Cal and plays volleyball. My oldest son is in college in San Diego and our youngest is a junior in high school. It's just a short flight for them."
Kerr was believed to be in talks with the Knicks ever since Phil Jackson was brought to New York to serve as their team president. He won three NBA titles playing for Jackson in Chicago. However, after talking it over with his family, Kerr decided to stay in his home state of California.
"I told Phil, 'I think I have to pursue this other opportunity,' " Kerr said. "He gave me his blessing. He said go look at it, and do what was in my heart."
Kerr spent three seasons as general manager of the Phoenix Suns before stepping down in 2010. He has never been a head coach.
The Warriors went 51-31 this past season and were eliminated by the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Thunder Stun Clippers 105-104 to Take 3-2 Series Lead
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images(OKLAHOMA CITY) – Russell Westbrook scored 38 points as the Oklahoma City Thunder rallied from a seven-point deficit in the final minute to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 105-104 on Tuesday night and go up 3-2 in the Western Conference semifinals.
Chris Paul fouled Westbrook on a 3-point attempt with 6.4 seconds remaining. The Thunder guard calmly sank all three free throws to put his team ahead to stay.
"I think when you get a win like this it brings everybody closer," Westbrook said. "It lets you know you can't mess around. You have to take every moment, every play and go out and win the game."
Kevin Durant sank a three-pointer and converted a layup to bring the Thunder within two points with 17 seconds left. Westbrook stole the ball from Paul on the next possession. The Clippers believed the ball went off Thunder guard Reggie Jackson, but after a review, the officials awarded the ball to the Thunder.
"Everybody knows it was our ball," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "The bottom line is they thought it was a foul and they made up for it. Let's take away the replay. We were robbed. It was our ball, whether it was a foul or not."
The Clippers got the ball with 6.4 seconds remaining and a chance to win the game, but Paul had the ball stolen from him yet again as time expired.
The Thunder can clinch the series with a win on Thursday night in Los Angeles.

Cavaliers Fire Head Coach Mike Brown
NBA/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — After just one season back in Cleveland, the Cavaliers have fired head coach Mike Brown. The team made the announcement Monday afternoon.
"Mike worked hard over this last season to move our team in the right direction," Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert said in a statement. "Although, there was some progress from our finish over the few prior seasons, we believe we need to head in a different direction. We wish Mike and his family nothing but the best."
This is not Brown's first tenure with the Cavaliers. He coached the team for five seasons from 2005-2010 when the team had Lebron James. He was let go by the team following the 2009-2010 season.
The team also announced Monday that David Griffin has been promoted as the team's full-time general manager.
This past season, the Cavaliers went 33-49, which was ninth-worst in the NBA.

ESPN: Wiggins, Parker and Embiid to Skip NBA Combine
Brian A. Westerholt/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — With the NBA Draft getting closer and closer, a trio of top prospects are deciding to skip the upcoming combine, according to ESPN.

Meanwhile, Parker had one of the best freshman season's ever for the Duke Blue Devils after averaging 19.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game.
Other top prospects such as forward Julius Randle and point guard Dante Exum are expected to workout and attend the combine, which will be held this Thursday and Friday in Chicago.
The NBA Draft Lottery is on May 20 while the NBA Draft will be held on June 26.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - The Lubbock man who took three children to southeast Oklahoma will not get a change of venue. The lawyer for Kenneth Wilcox requested his trial be moved to another city because of local media publicity. The KCBD.com version of a Wilcox story was included as part of the motion and the judge said no.
Wilcox admits he took three kids out of state, but claims he had permission. He also says he didn't bring them back on time because of car trouble. Prosecutors say in court documents that Wilcox kidnapped the kids in October of last year so that he could emotionally terrorize them.

Beok & Zeit @ Rothenburg, Germany
Cafes like these are plentiful in Germany...well in fact Europe as a whole. No matter what time of the day, no matter which day of the week...people will be seen taking a sip by the streets with a cigarette in hand or simply soaking in the sun with a slice of cake. Leisure is what I crave for especially more so after the trip!
Schwarzwalder Kirchtorte (1,90€)
Blackforest cake is what its normally known as, unbeknownst to most it actually hails from South Germany.
The cake is named after the mountain range in south-western Germany but the local specialty liquor distilled from tart cherries called Schwarzwälder Kirschwasser, or abbreviated Schwarzwälder Kirsch, the ingredient that gives the cake a special kick, due to the distinctive cherry pit flavor and the alcoholic content. - Wiki oh wiki...what would I do without you?
So the alcohol differentiates the German version from the rest.
Wonderfully layered chocolate sponge with fresh cream, cherry jell-o and liquored cherries, this was divine.
Quarkkuchen (1,45€)
Another German specialty...a german version of cheesecake! Quark is a type of cheese that is made by warming sour milk, alternatively it is known as cottage cheese. This had a lovely foamy texture (heavier than Japanese cheesecake)...it is a hybrid of American and Japanese cheesecake in fact. Not too cloying...
I enjoyed the tea so much and was definitely stuffed but another pretzel would not hurt. Served as a great chewy snack on the way back to Frankfurt!
Lemon Schneeball
Ahh..the last schneeball of the trip. Lemon and schneeballs are perhaps the bestest combination after hazelnut.
Leisurely tea...one that was long deserved. Unforgettable indeed.

Chris Best's football career was eventful long before he made his debut in the Canadian Football League. The 31-year-old right guard, who hails from Calgary, played for the Duke University Blue Devils before moving to the University of Waterloo to finish his time in college football and complete a master's degree in mechanical engineering.
Frank McCrystal, who will step down as the University of Regina Rams' head coach after this season, should be regarded as one of the principal figures in the city's rich sporting history. He is eminently deserving of induction into the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. (Reminder: It isn't the CFL Hall of Fame.)

Join us on September 17th at ArcLight Cinemas Hollywood for a night featuring
art reflecting the issue of homelessness in LA!
Keep up to date with our newsletter
On August 7, 2014 we celebrated with top HomeWalkers at our HomeWalk Kickoff Breakfast at the Exposition Park Rose Garden.
On Wednesday, July 16, it was a historic moment for veterans across the country when First Lady Michelle Obama and United Way of Greater Los Angeles reaffirmed our commitment to ending veteran homelessness and unemployment in Los Angeles County at our Unite For Veterans Summit.
With the nation watching, the First Lady commended United Way of Greater Los Angeles for our veterans work and called on us to finish the job and create momentum across America.
(Click on the photo to watch the entire keynote speech from First Lady Michelle Obama)
To date, we've helped move 14,000 homeless veterans into permanent housing and secured jobs for 9,000 veterans. These vets are people like Marva who ended up homeless, Matthew who suffered from severe trauma, and last but not least, Jim, who had no one to turn to. Fortunately, each of them are now on a stable path and have a safe place to call home.
But our work is just beginning.
Los Angeles will soon be home to an estimated 60,000 post-9/11 veterans in the next few years. Our goal is to ensure these honorable service men and women are able to successfully transition into fulfilling careers and lives.
Join us in making a pledge to be #United4Vets. Publicly share your support with a tweet or email us at email@example.com to help veterans in need.
With the help of our generous corporate leaders, we are building a better Los Angeles. We regularly highlight our top corporate leaders and salute them for helping us create pathways out of poverty. United Way of Greater Los Angeles extends a huge thanks to these leaders and corporations working with us to permanently break the cycle of poverty for our most vulnerable neighbors: families, children, veterans and the homeless.
United Way and Our Friends in the Antelope Valley
Thank you to the outstanding team at Rio Tinto, who generously provided skybox tickets to a minor league baseball game on Sunday, July 20 for Antelope Valley's own Lancaster JetHawks! Thanks to the folks at Rio Tinto, Sue Porter and Stacie Rosane from the United Way were able to share a fun day out at the ballpark with our friends from the Palmdale School District as the JetHawks defeated the Modesto Nuts by a final score of 5 to 2.
Similar to how the JetHawks represent the town's long standing association with the aerospace industry, United Way of Greater Los Angeles is thrilled to have partners like Rio Tinto and Palmdale School District that step up to the plate to represent and fight for the members of our community that are living in poverty. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of so many all throughout our Greater Los Angeles area and together, we will break the cycle of poverty in Los Angeles County!
As we come to the end of our campaign year, United Way of Greater Los Angeles would like to thank YOU for your generous support of our mission to break the cycle of poverty for our most vulnerable neighbors. As a leadership donor, you are at the forefront of ending poverty in our local communities.
Your gift is helping thousands of people find a pathway to a home, a graduation and a job. In fact this past year, you helped almost 7,000 people get into a permanent home, helped 25,000 students get into mentorship programs, and helped 1,100 honorable veterans find the jobs they deserve. Your continued support will ensure that united we can end poverty in Los Angeles. Thank you!

According to Marc Stein of ESPN, the Memphis Grizzlies are in talks to add former Denver Nuggets head coach Jeff Bzdelik to the coaching staff.
Anthony Sain of 3sob.com was kind enough to tweet out some observations at Dave Joerger's media session in FedexForum today.
Dave Joerger talking to Gary Parrish re: JJ's minutes - "We're doing what's best for the team, people can disagree with that. It's okay."— Chris Faulkner (@FaulknerMemphis) April 17, 2014
And it is okay. *see 50 wins, 7th seed and 5-game winning streak to end the season.
The Joergermeister double dips!
Dave Joerger to #FOX13 on Beno Udrih today "I don't have any intention of playing him in front of Nick Calathes"..— Matt Stark (@MattStarkFOX13) February 27, 2014
So perhaps Udrih truly is just an insurance policy. If the Grizzlies can ever keep a gosh-darned lead they might be able to actually sit Mike Conley and split up some minutes between Calathes and Udrih in fourth quarters.
The head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies has gone 7-4 since our last Approval Poll on January 29th, a poll that came the day after a throttling of the Portland Trailblazers on their home court. T...
With the Grizzlies on a roll, the NBA recognized Coach Joerger today for his work in the past month. Joerger's development coincides with that of his team, and will be needed as they enter these...
Let's find out how Dave Joerger looks with Marc Gasol back on the floor.
How do you feel about Dave Joerger's performance as head coach?
We've got an array of libations based on the Memphis Grizzlies.
With 1/5th of the season under our belts, it's time to take a look at how the Grizzlies new head coach is doing.
Coach Dave Joerger is winning over fans in Memphis with a personal approach.
As expected, Griz finalize coaching staff with assistants Elston Turner, Bob Thornton, Duane Ticknor and Shawn Respert.

The much-anticipated iPod phone launched yesterday. Apple®, Motorola and Cingular Wireless introduced the first mobile phone with iTunes®, capable of storing up to 100 songs.
Apple's iTunes software resides on the Motorola (Schaumburg, Illinois, U.S.) ROKR phone and is designed to have easy menus and simple navigation and playback, with a quick music-to-phone switching facilitated by a dedicated music key. The phone is available at Cingular's Web site and at Cingular retailers.
The phone has a color display for viewing album art and features built-in dual-stereo speakers. It has stereo headphone that also serve as a mobile headset with microphone. Users can randomly autofill or manually fill the mobile phone with playlists from their favorite music, audiobooks and Podcasts from their iTunes library via a USB connection. The phone pauses music automatically when users take a call and offers the ability to listen to music while messaging with friends or while snapping a photo.
The phone comes with iTunes pre-installed at a retail price of U.S. $249.99 when users make a phone service 2-year commitment.
"We've worked closely with Motorola to deliver the world's best music experience on a mobile phone," said Apple (Cupertino, California, U.S.) CEO Steve Jobs. "We're also thrilled to be working with Cingular, the largest wireless carrier in the US, to bring this pioneering phone to market."
"The ROKR brings music to the mobile phone in a way unlike any other, with the unrivaled ease of use that has become the signature of iTunes," said Motorola Chairman and CEO Ed Zander. "We predict that the ROKR is going to be a hit this holiday season."
"We're excited to be the first wireless carrier to offer the world's first phone with iTunes to our customers nationwide," said Ralph de la Vega, chief operating officer of Cingular Wireless ((Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.). "This innovative product represents a world class handset, connected to a world class network, delivering a world class application."

I'd wear that Opeth shirt.
Since leaving Coastermatic last August, I've been freelancing full-time, working for all sorts of organizations throughout New York, from startups to consultancies to Google. In many ways the most exciting aspect throughout has been the number of new beginnings, the blank slates and the constant reminder to think, make and collaborate in new ways. It's this collection of starting points that's helped highlight the roles and companies I'm more (or less) aligned with. But ultimately, it's made me realize that too many new beginnings can detract from the middles and the endings, the moments of the design process where there's deep enough knowledge of a human problem (and the technical and business challenges) to make real progress toward solving it.
With this hunch in mind, I recently began a conversation that's led to the latest new beginning. That conversation was with Alex Rainert about joining the design team at Project Florida. I've long been excited about working with personal data and ecosystems of software and hardware to design products that solve real human problems and I can't think of a better area to apply that to than preventative health. With Apple Health and Smart Watch on the horizon, this space is still just at the beginning so I'm incredibly excited to join such a talented team and to play a role in helping shape what some part of the middle looks like, and who knows, maybe even an ending?

A leading parliamentary committee has said that giving prisoners the vote is the only way to uphold human rights and the rule of law across Europe, reports The Telegraph.
The Government has long opposed suggestions that prisoners should be given the vote and appeared to have won a decisive victory in October this year when the Supreme Court rejected the case presented by two convicted murderers that the denial of their voting right was against the law.
However, the European Court of Human Rights, whilst accepting that some prisoners can be denied a vote according to national preferences, has also ruled that a blanket ban affecting all prisoners is illegal and would require review, in the case of Hirst v the United Kingdom [2005].
In response, the Government produced the Draft Voting Eligibility (Prisoners) Bill, and set up a joint-parliamentary committee in April 2013 to assess the UK Government position and consider options for changing the law on prisoner voting.
The draft bill makes three proposals: to re-state the existing blanket ban applying to all prisoners preventing them from voting, in contravention of the ECHR position, or extend voting rights to some prisoners, either those serving less than six months, or to those serving less than four years.
The committee was asked to consider the issue of prisoner voting in light of a growing body of opinion, particularly amongst the Conservatives, that the UK should leave the ECHR, repeal the Human Rights Act 1998, and instead enact its own system of rights.
The committee published its report on the matter yesterday and principle among its findings was that failure to comply with the ECHR ruling in Hirst would lower the UK's standing in Europe, and undermine the UK's record on human rights.
The committee's conclusion reads: "We recommend that the Government introduce a Bill at the start of the 2014-15 session, which should provide that all prisoners serving sentences of 12 months or less should be entitled to vote in all UK parliamentary, local and European elections."
Speaking afterwards Conservative chairman Nick Gibb said: "Being in prison is about losing your liberty and losing the right to free association and engagement in society. I see participation in an election as intimately connected with the loss of liberty."
Parliament must now decide how to progress in the light of the new report.

E38 coolant leak
Coolant level was down on our 2000 740iL. I noticed some coolant crust on the upper radiator hose 'elbow' connector that I'm pointing to in pic. I decided to keep an eye on it and filled (possibly overfilled) the system. A couple of days later the hose blew off the T-connector (also in pic). Is the apparent seamless clamp reusable or do I just replace it with a standard hose clamp? Also, to address the leak, how does the connector remove from the aluminum neck? I removed the electrical connector type retainer wire. The connector wiggles but seems to be retained by a plastic stem similar to a rivet. Is replacing this leaking 'elbow' connector my only option? Thanks in advance!

New details are emerging in the alleged human trafficking case out of Natchitoches Parish, where an allegedly enslaved woman escaped after being chained at her captors' home for days.
"They put the chain on her, they staked, tied her up to a CarMax building out behind the house and left her outside, naked, out in the weather," says Sheriff Victor Jones.
David Rodriguez Jr., 37, Christina Marie Harper, 39 and Ambre Tubbs Lomas, 39 were all arrested Wednesday morning in connection with the investigation.
It all began when the Robeline Town Marshal encountered a woman with a logging chain around her neck and attached to a bucket late on May 31 at a business at I49 and University Parkway near Natchitoches.
The woman, an out-of-state resident, said she had been held against her will and chained in and around a building in the 500 block of Dick Anderson Road near Ajax, Louisiana. She told investigators that she first met Rodriguez and Harper online and agreed to move into their home several months ago.
Rodriguez allegedly picked up the victim and helped her move her belongings into their home, later enslaving her and forcing her to give him all her cash, along with handing over ownership of a 1999 Harley Davidson motorcycle. Deputies said he later tattooed the victim and registered her as a slave on a fetish website.
The victim was also given daily chores such as serving meals, tending to animals, installing a swimming pool, digging trenches, removing fallen trees and performing sexual acts.
Detectives said if the victim failed to complete her work, she was beaten and disciplined by Rodriguez, Harper and a person identified as Amber Lomas. The discipline allegedly included beatings, carving initials into skin on the victim's backside, shootings with a stun gun and being doused with urine.
After the beatings and discipline became very severe, the victim told her master that she wanted to leave their home. She was then allegedly chained outside in the woods, moved to a building where she was fed once a day and given small amounts of water and urine to drink. "Just like an animal, like an anima," Sheriff Jones says.
The victim was treated and released from a hospital and is now in protective custody.
Detectives say they executed a search warrant June 4 on the Ajax home and found 15 firearms, a stun gun, four computers, two tablets, three external hard drives, a digital camera, a digital video camera and an iPod.
There were also two children at the home, ages 15 and 16, who were removed by the Office of Child Protective Services.
The three suspects turned themselves into the NPSO.
David Rodriguez Jr., 37 of the 500 block of Dick Anderson Road, Pleasant Hill, was charged with one count of human trafficking; one count of aggravated second degree battery; one count of second degree kidnapping/false imprisonment; and two counts of offenses against computer users
Christina Marie Harper, 39 of the 500 block of Dick Anderson Road, Pleasant Hill was charged withone count of human trafficking; one count of aggravated second degree battery; one count of second degree kidnapping/false imprisonment; and two counts of offenses against computer users.
Ambre Tubbs Lomas, 39 of the 6700 block of Jefferson Paige Drive, Shreveport was charged with one count of aggravated second degree battery; and one count of second degree kidnapping/false imprisonment.
All three are being held at the Natchitoches Parish Detention Center.
Louisiana State Police and Natchitoches District Attorney's Office assisted in the investigation.
