N¤E¤R¤D are set to release a feature film about their journey from the recording studio to live performances. The film, scheduled for a December 2008 release, has been directed by none other than famed Hip Hop video connoisseur Hype Williams. Pharrell revealed all on whilst being interviewed by Angie Martinez on New York radio station Hot 97 "The movie is going to be like The Beatles' Hard Day's Night… It's a full length film. It's for our fans." Hype, aka Harold, has worked with almost everybody in hip-hop; from the Notorious B.I.G. to Kanye West, Jay-Z to LL Cool J and is also responsible for N¤E¤R¤D's Rock Star video.

Check out this interview by Common where he is talking about his upcoming album "Invincible Summer" and his first single produced by The Neptunes "Universal Mind Control (U.M.C.)" (Due End Of May).
P: You're shooting to release Invincible Summer in July, right? What have you been listening to as inspiration during this recording process?
C: Yeah, mid-July, but I'm striving for June. If I tried to talk about hip-hop, I'd be making up some names. I don't know what's happening in rap. But I have been listening to Radiohead's Kid A, Voodoo by D'Angelo, I still listen to that album a lot. I've been listening to my music of course, and N¤E¤R¤D
P: I see you've only worked with Outkast producer Mr. DJ and The Neptunes on this LP, no Kanye?
C: Kanye was focusing on his "Glow In The Dark" show, so he wasn't able to get into the studio. But Invincible worked out well, organically. Mr. DJ and The Neptunes gave me a fresh sound. Whatever producer I work with I'll say "hey, I want to go there" and sometimes they'll go left, sometimes they'll go right and sometimes it's some shit I never expected. With Pharrell and Chad, The Neptunes, they've been able to stretch out with me, like "Universal Mind Control (U.M.C.)" doesn't sound like a Neptunes' track.
"Universal Mind Control (U.M.C.)"
"choptstick drums, fast rhymes, "this is that new shit…some pop some lock, chics hypnotic…dance to melodic technotronic beats…take off they clothes to"…"you know you like it, its calling your name." Layered, flute, rising electro keys. ehn.
"What A World" feat. Chester French
"stabbing drums, ting tings w/ can, fuzzy "EH!!!" Cheers-what a world repeated 2x on chorus, he's rapping like Whodini ala "freaks come out at night", bouncy guitar, electronic keys, futuristic "ehown-sounding" key on the off beat, "you ain't make no hit song he tells himself you gotta do what you do." Make the song stop please. Common tells us this song is "about my evolution but I wanted to do it in an uplifting way. I usually be able to break down the lyrics but this time, just "booties pop it, coochies drop it." he laughs, we do too, but only out of politeness.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the iconic shoe brand, Converse has brought together Pharrell, Julian Casablancas, Santogold and N¤E¤R¤D to create an original full length track. The song will be made available to the world as a free online download. The collaboration came together when Pharrell and Julian sat down to discuss ideas in New York. After Julian was on board, Pharrell saw Santogold at SXSW for the first time and thought she would be a perfect fit. Santi recorded with Pharrell in Miami. Julian recorded with Pharrell in Miami after Santogold & then again in L.A.
"Everybody on it does their own separate thing and we didn't do it together so it ends up being just this weird long song with sort of everybody with lots of their own personalities separate."Pitchfork heard the track today, and we have to say that her description is quite spot-on. Over a bouncy rhythm indebted to old school soul, the three take turns singing verses that seem to have little to do with one another, and absolutely nothing to do with Converse or shoes in general. It sounds like a less shiny, more downtown version of the Timbaland/Justin Timberlake/Nelly Furtado Jam "Give It to Me", complete with silly disses of unidentified targets ("I find your approach so adolescent / I may look young, but your game is pre-pubescent," Santogold sings.)
Pharrell makes the unfortunate decision to try to sing (that has never worked out well in the past), crooning come-ons like "now thank you for coming to my drive-thru." As usual, Julian sounds like he just woke up, making the line "if you wanna be like us you better work every night" kind of comical. There's also a part near the end where everybody sings about how they "just wanna dance." All in all, it should sound just fine in a TV Commercial.

"Those are common comparisons because there aren't a lot of white dudes in this lane. I love Robin Thicke and Justin, they are amazing artists. These records are my perspectives on relationships and I think my style of singing is different. It's easy to make those comparisons because sonically they sound similar, but what we share is a passion and love for this style of music."

Robin Thicke is feeling the "Magic" on his new single due May 20th, the first cut from his third studio album due this summer. The R&B singer introduced his soulful sound to the world on the platinum certified album "The Evolution Of Robin Thicke" in 2006. Since then the artist who earned praise for his soulful and classic sound on records like "Can U Believe" and "Wanna Love U Girl" has been working on the follow up album tentatively titled "Something Else," which the singer reportedly wrote and produced from start to finish.
On "Magic," the uptempo first single from "Something Else," (due July 1st) Thicke expands on his sultry, classic R&B sound reminiscent of a "feel good" Marvin Gaye or Isaac Hayes record where Thicke explains "sometimes you feel no hope, I've been there across that lonely road." Celebrating with horns, horns and more horns he croons about that perfect relationship on "Magic" saying – "I can make it alright, I can wake up in paradise. We got that magic girl." Thicke's "Magic" is slated for release on May 20th, (Check Out The Single at robin-thicke.net) with "Something Else" due July 1st via StarTrak/Interscope.

The girls are working with Timbaland, Ne-Yo, Pharrell, Snoop Dogg, Rodney Jerkins, and Sean Garrett this time around for their sophomore (Untitled Yet) album due this September. Their first single "When I Grow Up" is due May 20th produced by Darkchild. You can check their first single here.
Santogold, the refreshing new artist who sounds like Gwen Stefani reacting to M.I.A., has joined Strokes leader Julian Casablancas and renaissance man Pharrell Williams to record a new song/video/ Converse ad campaign. Santogold says the final product is "such a Pharrell track," which either means that it's the R&B smash of the summer or an embarrassing trainwreck with noxious jazz keyboards.
I would think the presence of Mr. Casablancas would edge things towards the latter possibility, but maybe I just don't have enough faith in Converse."Julian and I, I mean everybody on it does there own separate thing and we didn't do it together so it ends up being just this weird long song with sort of everybody with lots of their own personalities separate," White explained. The singer, who has also shot a video for the song, said she felt that "everybody really represented themselves well on it."
With it's American debut April 29, "Hard Candy" sold 100,000 copies on it's first day of release in the U.S. alone, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Madonna's new single, "Give It 2 Me," will be released in July, along with its music video which will feature Pharrell Williams. Pharrell hearing his excitement about going toe-to-toe on Madonna's latest album, "Hard Candy," with his old bandmate and fellow Virginian super-producer Timbaland, his intensity becomes crystal clear.
"I thought I worked hard before, and I did work hard. But I know how to work hard now," Williams says with a chuckle. "I mean, after I heard Tim's tracks, I realized a damn-near 50-year-old woman was gonna have the hottest album in the game. It's insane."

After some musicians such as, Ne-Yo, G-Unit and The Game have their new albums' release date being pushed back, Nelly is set to join the club. According to new reports, the St. Louis rapper's upcoming LP "Brass Knuckles" which supposedly set for June 24 release has now been changed to August 19. Rap-Up.com claimed that the decision to push back the new record comes from Nelly's recording company Universal Records. Unfortunately, there are no more details regarding the reason behind that decision.

"Even the teachers would be dancing like crazy," Haley said. "We have a serious library of music in our heads," Hugo said. "We draw on everything from music appreciation that we learned in school, to hip-hop, rock, pop and any other sounds you can imagine." "Most of the songs out there about being in the club are just boring," Williams said. "It's almost like life imitating art. That's my problem. So many songs are about being in the club that you listen to them and you're almost desensitized." "Seeing Sounds" is anything but routine hip-hop fare. Williams says the lyrics "are mostly subconscious things you think about to yourself that not a lot of people write songs about." Musically, N¤E¤R¤D's tapped some highly unexpected guests.
"We're not egotistical, so we always just do what we believe is most suitable for the record," Haley said. "On this project we felt like involving The Hives would definitely enhance the album, so we went and got up with them. "Nightclubs are unlikely to put this track or the rest of "Seeing Sounds" in rotation. Which is fine with the N¤E¤R¤D guys. They won't be on the dance floor anyway. "We have no social life," Williams said. "Talking and hanging out with people is a rarity for me. I already did all my partying. All that's left for me to do is be passionate about my music, whether everybody else likes it or not."
Kanye West's ego is the stuff of lore. In four years as a solo artist he has thrown tantrums and stormed the stage at award shows; ripped President Bush at a Hurricane Katrina benefit; and most recently chewed out an Entertainment Weekly Reporter on his blog, even telling him to "kill yourself" for giving his Glow In The Dark Tour a B+. His show Sunday at the Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheater confirmed what everyone already suspects – he is his own dream date and deity. Fortunately, there were other stars on this show. Singer Rihanna sounded shockingly great as she performed her hits, including "Umbrella," and rapper Lupe Fiasco opened the show with a solid set of songs including "Superstar."
But the true star of the bill had to be No One Ever Really Dies, the rock group consisting of Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo and Shay Haley of Virginia Beach. Maybe it was because they were at home, but even without expensive sets and pyro, N¤E¤R¤D's performance was lively and inspired.
Of this group, Williams is the obvious star, but he never overshadowed either his group's music or Hugo and Haley. They came out to an apparently new track from their forthcoming album "Seeing Sounds," and, through a steady rain, performed a song that might be described as a mixture of gangsta rap and heavy metal. "Are you ADHD?" they screamed during the chorus. The rain stopped. N¤E¤R¤D tore through its oeuvre, doing "Brain,""Lapdance," and another new thrash-rap song called "Spaz." Chris Brown, the singer from Tappahannock who is rumored to be dating Rihanna, surprised everyone with an appearance and high energy dance moves.
"I don't need to say nothing corny," said Williams, as Haley played the energetic rapper and Hugo played the super-cool, shades- wearing aloof dude behind the keys. "Y'all know where we're from. You know we're from here. We eat at 7-Eleven. We know the big booty girls hang out at Military Circle Mall and we know there's a lot of talent here in the Seven Cities. Thank you for inspiring this song." The group then played "Rock Star."N¤E¤R¤D did its new single "Everyone Nose" and Norfolk's Fam-Lay also stopped by for one tune "Da Beeper Record" there were at least nine performers on stage at times. A gaggle of pretty girls came on stage to dance for "She Wants To Move," wiggling around Williams. As N¤E¤R¤D finished its set, Williams, who is by now certainly by now aware of his own iconography, posed for the screen, forming his hands into the "two up, two down" gesture symbolizing Virginia & Star Trak \\//.

US 1161719 A Abstract available in Claims available in Description (OCR text may contain errors) W. R. NORTON. MASSAGE GLOVE. APPLICATION FILED JAN.13. m5. 1,161 719; Patented NOV. 23, .1915. M d/4 ,11 William RNorfon A TTOR/VEYS WILLIAM R. NORTON, 0F HIGHTSTOWN, NEW JERSEY. MASSAGE-GLOVE. Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Nov. 23, 31915. Application filed January 13, 1915. Serial N 0. 1,956. T 0 all whom it may concern. Be it known that I, WILLIAM R. NORTON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident ofHightstown, in the county of Mercer and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Massage-Glove, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description. My invention relates to massage gloves having a receptacle or-receptacles adapted to accommodate a substance or substances employed during the massage with the glove. The object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive glove having one or more receptacles associated therewith, which receptacles are elastic and which can be easily filled with a desired substance and from which the substance can be easily fed and the feed easily controlled by the party Wearing the glove. With the above and other objects in view, the nature of which -will more fully appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts as herein fully described, illustrated and claimed. In the accompanying drawings, forming part of the application, similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the views, and Figure 1 is an elevation of a glove embodying my invention; and Fig. 2 is a section through a finger thereof on line 2-2, Fig. 1. Before proceeding to a more detailed description of my invention it must be clearly understood that although each finger of the glove in Fig. 1 is provided with a receptacle for a tonic, or similar substance used in massage, only one of the fingers or the palm of the glove may be provided with such a receptacle, also, if desired, only a finger tip can be used for that purpose, that is, a single finger tip may be provided with a receptacle such as shown. Referring to the drawings, 3 represents a glove each finger 4 of which has on the working side of the tip thereof a receptacle 5 which is made of rubberized material so that the same can be compressed and when released will expand to its natural form. The top of the resilient compartment is provided with perforations 6 through which the tonic is admitted into the receptacle by compressing the receptacle and then causing the atmospheric pressure to force the substance thereinto while the receptacle expands to its normal form. The tonic can be forced out of the receptacle by simply compressing the bottom wall which forms part of the glove,that is, the portion 7' of the glove. The receptacle top has also projections 8 thereon whereby the apertures are always above the surface massaged, consequently there is no interference with the feed of the tonic from the receptacles, nor can there be when the tonic is sucked into the receptacle. It is self-evident that with a glove as illustrated, each of the'receptacles 5 may receive the same tonic or different tonics. Furthermore, the entire glove can be made of rubberized materialor only the receptacle part thereof. Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent: 1. In a glove, one or more elastic receptacles located on the Working side thereof, the receptacle having openings on the working side thereof, said openings being depressed from the working surface. 2. In aglove, a finger having an elastic receptacle on the working tip thereof, projections on the working surface of said receptacle, saidreceptacle having openings -in the working surface whereby said receptacle can be filled with a substance and the substance fed therefrom by the compression of said receptacle. In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. WILLIAM BARDEL, E. 'HUTcHmsoN. Referenced by

Doc Rivers: 'I thought the fouls on [Kevin Garnett] were horrendous and had a huge effect' | 04.24.13 at 1:03 am ET |
NEW YORK — The Celtics wanted more out of Kevin Garnett and got it in Game 2, as he scored 12 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
But in the mind of coach Doc Rivers, it could've been more – much more – if it weren't for the officials. For the second straight game, Garnett got into foul trouble, with three fouls at halftime and five midway through the fourth quarter. When the Celtics needed him the most, Garnett couldn't get into an offensive rhythm in the second half, and Rivers said the officiating early had an impact in the end.
"I thought the fouls on Kevin were horrendous, and had a huge effect on us," Rivers said after the 87-71 loss in which Boston scored 23 points in the second half. "He never got his rhythm when you could see he was going to have a game. It hurt us."
Garnett felt the frustration as well, but held back a bit, deflecting some of the criticism on himself.
"At times, it's frustrating," Garnett said. "But fouls are part of the game. Refs are calling things but it's an aggressive time in postseason play. I just have to be consistent and position myself not to foul so much."
The trio of David Jones, Rodney Mott and Derrick Stafford officiated the game, which ended with Garnett and Paul Pierce each with five fouls before they were taken out after the game was out of reach with four minutes left.
NEW YORK — Celtics coach Doc Rivers took full responsibility for the historic futility of his offense has suffered through in dropping the first two games of their series at Madison Square Garden.
For the second straight game, the Celtics established a playoff franchise record for fewest points in a half when they scored just 23 in the second half of Tuesday's 87-71 loss to the Knicks.
"We are who we are," Rivers said when asked about the effect of not having Rajon Rondo available. "We can't apologize for that. That is who we have been left with and I think it is good enough to win. So far, I haven't gotten them to the right spots. We can play better and we have to play better."
The Celtics led 48-42 at the half. But Iman Shumpert hit a pair of threes early in the third quarter, part of a 29-6 New York run that put the Knicks in complete control. The Celtics were outscored 32-11 and converted just 4-of-17 shots from the floor in posting another abysmal third-quarter performance.
"They attacked us," Rivers said. "We didn't handle it very well. We have to be able to do better. I don't know what we are doing wrong in the beginning of third quarters but we gave up those two back-to-back threes, which helped their confidence. It was a tale of two halves."
Paul Pierce led the way with 18 points but came out with four minutes left as the Celtics conceded.
"He needs some help," Rivers said. "I think Paul was playing pretty well. He started getting tired in the second half because he tried to do everything."
'Brilliant' Pablo Prigioni returns for Game 2, Doc Rivers talks road toughness | 04.23.13 at 8:25 pm ET |
NEW YORK — Pablo Prigioni, who did not play in Game 1, returned Tuesday night from a sprained right ankle and will start for the Knicks against the Celtics in Game 2.
What does the return of Prigioni to the Knicks starting lineup mean Doc Rivers?
"Well, it just gives them another decision-maker. He's brilliant," Rivers said. "He's another Jason Kidd-ish-type guy. It just gives them another smart player on the floor and another guy that can create plays. That makes them really good. It's no coincidence that when he's in the lineup they play better because they have a lot of IQ on the floor at the same time."
"He gives us a guy who can help run our team, and gives us a defensive presence out front guarding the ball," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said, adding there won't be a minutes restriction. "Not at all. He's practiced the past few days and moved around real well. I think he's going to be fine."
Prigioni came out and guarded Avery Bradley while Raymond Felton was on Paul Pierce.
"We're going to attack whoever guards Paul," Rivers said. "I'm sure [Mike Woodson] is thinking the same thing, it doesn't matter who's guarding Paul because Paul's going to get the ball in the post. They're going to come trap. I hope there's an advantage there but I don't know if there is."
With Prigioni returning to action, that sent Chris Copeland to the bench.
Rivers said the 72 hours is a long time to wait between playoff games but there's no better city to spend it in if you're on the road then in New York.
"You never know but I think pretty well," Rivers said when asked how he thought his team handled it. "Obviously, especially on the road, you'd rather get right back at it. You just feel like you're sitting around the room and things like that, but obviously being in New York helps in some ways. It's not a bad city to hang out in, go have dinner so I think we'll be ready."
Rivers is hopeful his team can channel the 2008 team in terms of toughness and the 2010 team that found a way on the road.
"I was going into the '08 playoffs because we literally had the easiest year you could possibly have," Rivers said. "We won every game it felt like and didn't get tested a lot. I was concerned going into the playoffs with a team, even though they were really good, that didn't get tested. I thought Game 6 in Atlanta we came apart a little bit."
Tuesday shootaround: Jeff Green says C's 'can still play good without force-feeding' Kevin Garnett | at 11:45 am ET |
NEW YORK — Jeff Green isn't necessarily buying into the theory that the Celtics have to get Kevin Garnett involved on every possession he's on the court for the Celtics to have a chance of tying the series, 1-1.
"I think we have one of the best coaches [Doc Rivers] in the league who can figure out the adjustment and how we can still play good without force-feeding [Garnett]," Green said Tuesday morning prior to the team's shootaround at Madison Square Garden.
But Green added later that an established Garnett in the post will clearly increase the chances of Boston walking out of MSG with a victory in Game 2 Tuesday night.
"Well, to make it easier for him in the post, I've got to continue to be aggressive off the dribble, trying to get to get to the rim, because if I do that it's going to take a man [to guard me] in the post and open up a lane for Kevin," Green said.
Green scored a team-high 26 points and played nearly 46 minutes in Saturday's Game 1 loss to the New York Knicks. Rivers Green also said he needs to work through the fatigue to remain productive. Green scored 20 points in the first half but only six in the second half as the Celtics offense went cold. Green split time with Paul Pierce and Brandon Bass in guarding Carmelo Anthony, who scored 36 but needed 29 shots to do so.
"I just have to do it. I have to play through the fatigue," Green said. "I have to continue to look for mine, basically. There's no excuses now. I want to be out there. I want to compete. I want to play against the best. I want to guard Carmelo. I want to do it all. It's something I just have to get through.
"Just continue to be more aggressive in the open court, that's about it. Defensively, continue to make everything for Carmelo tough, keep him off the offensive boards and get all the 50-50 plays."
Green is confident that if he remains aggressive, the offensive – and points – will continue to flow for him.
"I got to the free throw line," said Green, who made all seven free throws Saturday. "I made a couple of shots outside on the perimeter to get me going and I got some layups in transition. That's how you get yourself going. That's how you get a rhythm."
Told that Anthony feels this is a "must-win" game for the Knicks before the series shifts to Boston for Game 3 Friday, Green said Boston feels the same way.
"Every game is a must-win game," Green said. "It's the playoffs. That's the only way you can move on is to win. We go into every game thinking it's a must-win."
Jordan Crawford: 'I was trying to make sure I made my first shot' | 04.22.13 at 3:18 pm ET |
NEW YORK — On the same day he received a first-place vote for the NBA "Sixth Man" award (awarded to New York's J.R. Smith), Jordan Crawford was insistent on one thing Monday, he wanted his first shot in a playoff game to go in.
"I was trying to make sure I made my first shot," Crawford repeated several times when asked why, for the first time in his career, he didn't even attempt a shot when playing at least 10 minutes in a game. That's exactly what happened during Saturday's Game 1 loss to the Knicks.
The irony was not lost on coach Doc Rivers, who put Crawford in for his explosive scoring ability. Rivers actually wants to play Crawford more in Game 2 and that means Crawford needs to get over his pursuit for perfection and worry about putting up big numbers for a bench that didn't register a single field goal in Game 1 and was outscored, 33-4.
"I thought Jordan should have played more in the second half," Rivers said. "It's funny, he didn't score, but he created baskets. He created that [Jeff Green] three at the end of the [first quarter] because he has the ability to do that. And, I'll tell you, he's buying in defensively and if he can continue to do that, then he has a chance to help us."
Crawford was acquired from the Wizards at the NBA trade deadline in February, with the hope that he could provide some instant offense to a team that had just lost Rajon Rondo and was watching as Jason Terry went through a prolonged slump.
"Play my game, the game I continue to play that got me here that Doc Rivers wants me to play," Crawford said. "So I'm just trying to help them win any way…Just be precise, don't second guess nothing, be precise. Whatever you think to do, do it quick. If you make a mistake, do it hard."
As for his other big first – an NBA playoff game – Crawford said he didn't feel overwhelmed or overmatched.
"I really wanted to see if it was any different, if the intensity picked up or anything. But it's pretty much the same, games just matter more," he said.
Rivers made a point of saying how much he appreciated Crawford's self control in his NBA playoff debut.
"I thought he was good. He stayed in his lane, let's put it that way," Rivers said. "He didn't go outside of it. And usually guys in their first game, young guys do one or the other. They don't do anything, and I thought he did far better than that. Or they try to do too much. I thought he was pretty much under control, emotionally."
Maybe, as it turned out, too much.
J.R. Smith wins NBA 'Sixth Man' award, Jordan Crawford gets a first-place vote, finishes seventh | at 2:31 pm ET |
NEW YORK — The Celtics got an up-close and personal look at just how dangerous J.R. Smith can be off the New York bench on March 26.
He scored 32 points and powered the Knicks to a 100-85 win, a victory that was part of New York's 13-game winning streak at the end of the season that propelled them toward the Atlantic Division title.
On Monday, Smith was honored as the 2012-13 Kia NBA Sixth Man Award as the league's best player in a reserve role. Smith, who came off the bench in all 80 games in which he appeared, led all reserves in scoring, averaging 18.1 points. Additionally, Smith added 5.3 rebounds per game, 2.7 assits and 1.3 steals in 33.5 minutes per game to a Knicks squad that went 54-28 and earned the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Smith received 484 of a possible 1,084 points, including 72 first-place votes, from a panel of 121 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Jamal Crawford of the Los Angeles Clippers finished second with 352 points (31 first-place votes). Jarrett Jack of the Golden State Warriors finished third with 170 points (14 first-place votes).
Boston's Jordan Crawford received a first-place vote and finished seventh.
In order to be eligible for this award, players had to have come off the bench in more games than they started. Players were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third-place vote.
Smith, who led reserves in 30-point (seven) and 20-point games (29), became the first player with four 30-point games off bench in same month (March) since Ricky Pierce had four in November of 1990. He earned Player of the Week honors for games played March 25-31, leading the Knicks to a 4-0 record with averages of 29.8 points (second in the league), 7.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals. In Smith's 80 games, the Knicks enjoyed a +5.3 score differential with him on the court compared with +1.9 when he was on the bench. Read the rest of this entry »
Monday notes: Doc Rivers says Brandon Bass played 'the perfect game' while the bench, not so much | at 2:17 pm ET |
NEW YORK — So what did the Celtics film session reveal on Sunday?
To Doc Rivers, it showed that Brandon Bass "played the perfect game" in the Game 1 loss. It showed that Jordan Crawford did a lot of positive things in his first career postseason game.
"I thought Brandon played the perfect game for us," Rivers said. "I thought defensively, he guarded Melo [Carmelo Anthony] well. He took shots when he should have. He moved the ball because they were coming [on traps]."
And it showed that the team's energy and effort was there.
It also showed one huge area of need – getting Kevin Garnett more involved in the right spots on the court so that the offense doesn't go into hibernation like it did for the final 13 minutes on Saturday.
"It was good, it was good," Rivers said. "The film never lies. It didn't. I thought our guys were great. They saw what we could've done and didn't do. I'm sure New York saw the same things. So, I expect them to have a great game [Tuesday] and I expect us to play better as well."
After hitting his first two shots from the field, Garnett made just two of his final 10 shots and finished 4-of-12 with eight points.
"He could've gotten himself in better spots and that's again on us, too," Rivers said. "It's never one thing, it's both. We have to create them for him. Kevin can't dribble or pass to himself. We have to create that for him but listen, they're still very good defensively. They trap and get down there [on block]. Even if you get him deep, they're still coming."
Did film help Garnett himself?
"Yeah, actually it did," Garnett said. "It was nice session. Obviously, we put some things in, dropped some things. We'll go over that in practice."
The mood of the team was good, led by its always-smiling head coach, who as Garnett was talking to Rivers, asked Rajon Rondo if he were going to take part in practice. Rondo – wearing a pair of stylish green beats – was doing what he has been doing for the last two weeks, shooting around with his team and taking in practice and offering insights as he rehabs his reconstructed right ACL.
Now, Rivers is trying to regroup his troops and remind them that there was a lot to be happy about in the first three quarters of Saturday's loss to the Knicks.
One thing he made clear on Monday was that the energy Saturday was good, just not the execution.
"I'm always pleased with that," Rivers said. "We played hard, and so did they. We have to play better. It's like I told our guys, hard is great but hard and smart is more important."
The perfect example of that was in the third quarter when Lee saved a ball with a behind-the-back pass. But he saved it under the basket the Celtics were defending and into the hands of the Knicks, who easily converted the layup.
"We made a lot of hard plays, even Courtney saves the ball inbounds, he was hustling so you give him an 'A' for effort and then the rest of the part is where you have to be smarter as a group. I thought we did a lot of that in the game [on Saturday]." Read the rest of this entry »

Posted: April 20, 2013 at 12:08 AM (#4420164)what. I've never seen anything like it. As I said in the chatter, I thought the Germany Schaefer rule outlawed reclaiming a previously occupied base, though it turns out that rule only covers situations where the runner is doing it to deceive the defense or to make a travesty of the game. There's no rule preventing it from happening just because the baserunner has his head up his ass. And just to complete how weird this was, Segura probably was tagged out just as he was leaving the bag when he was tagged by the Cubs, but the ump was busying ID'ing Braun as the runner who was out. He didn't even notice the tag.
Dang! I guess there's no rule about running backwards.

5. SoSH U at work
Posted: April 20, 2013 at 12:14 AM (#4420169)I will say this...both are tagged on the base. It's true 'Braun has passed him'. But at the same time both are tagged on the base which would give Braun the base. *Can* one baserunner pass the other while both are on the base? Personally, were I another ump, I'd bring that up just so we wouldn't have the silly situation of that guy on fiest. Dang! I guess there's no rule about running backwards. There is, it's just very limited. Here's the applicable rule: Rule 7.08 Any runner is out when -- (i) After he has acquired legal possession of a base, he runs the bases in reverse order for the purpose of confusing the defense or making a travesty of the game. The umpire shall immediately call ?Time? and declare the runner out I will say this...both are tagged on the base. It's true 'Braun has passed him'. But at the same time both are tagged on the base which would give Braun the base. *Can* one baserunner pass the other while both are on the base? Personally, were I another ump, I'd bring that up just so we wouldn't have the silly situation of that guy on fiest. Braun isn't considered to have passed him. Only one runner can occupy a base at once. Absent a force play, it's the lead runner. So Braun is out the moment he was tagged, and no longer exists as a baserunner.
...huh. Well, that's new.

Carlos Gomez hit the game winning homer and has upped his OPS from .378 to .812 in his last 5 games. I really like Gomez and he's become a pretty unique and good player.

BTW, how the heck did the Brewers get themselves in a situation where Betancourt is their starting 1b? Corey Hart: Out until mid-May Mat Gamel: Out for the year Taylor Green: Out for the year Khris Davis: An unmitigated disaster in practice at first defensively Doug Melvin and Ron Roenicke like having "three shortstops" starting in the infield (Alex Gonzalez and third, Yuni at first, and Segura at short) so they didn't pursue any other options.
I saw a clip on one of those shows like "Baseball This Week" about 20 years ago where a runner made it to second on a swinging passed ball or some such. In the ensuing confusion as the defense tried to throw him out at second, the runner apparently believed he had to get back to first (perhaps he thought the ball was caught as a pop-up. I am fuzzy on the details), so he headed back and "stole" first. The defense made the throw to try to get him at first, and overthrew the first baseman, at which point he headed back the other way and re-"stole" second safely.

OK, I just replayed it on MLB.tv to clarify it. Valbuena chased Segura back to 2B, then tagged him, then tagged Braun (at which point Cuzzi called Braun out), then tagged Segura a second time as he was picking himself up just off the bag. He should have been called out right there.
12. Obo
Posted: April 20, 2013 at 01:55 AM (#4420199)Segura thought he was out so he trotted towards the dugout on the 1B side, but then Braun yelled at him to RUN at which point he ran quickly the rest of the 50 feet or so back to 1B. Rizzo realized Segura was "in play" and wrested the ball out of Valbuena's glove to chase down Segura, but he was too late. Nobody was covering 1B at the time, they were all congregating around 2B so he had no play. Segura almost stole 2B twice in that inning, now THAT would have been crazy.
AuntBea: Sounds like this Lloyd Moseby play.

None of the box scores I've looked at know how to get Segura back to first base. They all have him out stealing third instead of second.

Posted: April 20, 2013 at 06:42 AM (#4420216)
So conventional wisdom is wrong yet again. Apparently, you CAN steal first base after all.

I e got Weeks on my fantasy team and was following on GameDay. I couldn't figure out why it got hung up after the 1-2 pitch, now I understand.
19. Jose Is The Most Absurd Thing on the Site
Posted: April 20, 2013 at 09:42 AM (#4420241)I'm not certain Segura was off the base at second when he got tagged out. I do think be should have been ruled out at first for coach's interference. He was walking to the dugout and the first base coach physically grabbed him and stopped him. That's definitely a case of a coach interfering and having an impact in the play. I look forward to checking out the play-by-play listing tomorrow on BBRef. Here it is. Apparently the BBRef code doesn't have "retreats to first base" as an option. What's funny to me is at little league practice last night we were talking to kids about the exact situation where two players wind up on the same base and the importance if not leaving the base until the ump tells you. b8 5-4 0 12- 3,(1-1) O MIL R. Weeks S. Camp -3% 88% Braun Caught Stealing 2B (P-3B); Segura stays at 2B b8 5-4 1 -2- 4,(1-2) O MIL R. Weeks S. Camp -2% 86% Strikeout Swinging b8 5-4 2 -2- 1,(0-0) O MIL J. Lucroy S. Camp -2% 84% Segura Caught Stealing 3B (C-2B)
Brewers have 8 outs on the bases [ignoring caught stealings] already. Looks like that leads the majors. They were up there last year too. My reflexive association is 'poorly coached team'.

The hell?
22. boteman
Posted: April 20, 2013 at 11:15 AM (#4420277)EDIT: I love how the first-base coach gives the "Hold up!" sign to Segura. And what kind of a name is that for a baseball player, anyway? Shouldn't somebody named "Jean Segura" be playing for Paris St Germain or racing Formula 1?
Also last night, although nowhere near as wacky, with no outs Bumgarner showed bunt then pulled back and slapped a ground ball toward the 3B/SS hole. 3B Headley was charging the plate anticipating a bunt, so the SS fielded the ball, tagged Blanco as he passed (no attempt at dodging the tag!!), threw to 2B for the put out, and if not for a poor throw to 1B just might have gotten Bumgarner for a triple play. Uncommon play more than anything, but Jon Miller exclaimed how he had never seen a play like that. Crazy night in baseball.

Posted: April 20, 2013 at 11:48 AM (#4420294)EDIT: I love how the first-base coach gives the "Hold up!" sign to Segura. Ha! That's fantastic, thanks for pointing that out. b8 5-4 0 12- 3,(1-1) O MIL R. Weeks S. Camp -3% 88% Braun Caught Stealing 2B (P-3B); Segura stays at 2B Something is obviously amiss when you read that report as Segura is caught stealing 3B by a throw from the catcher to ... the second baseman?!
The Brewers TV guys joked that for his next trick Segura would go from 1B to home.

Posted: April 20, 2013 at 01:11 PM (#4420336)i would not say poorly coached. think more 'super aggressive' ron wants his guys always looking for the extra base and everyone in the lineup is expected to hustle. to the manager's credit the superstar (braun) immediately bought into this approach and others have as well so every year the crew runs into outs. but then it is also true that in the second half of both his managerial seasons the team has gotten red hot. no idea if the two are connected but it reminds me of whitey herzog's approach and how his team would go on winning streaks after the all star break. the crew's manager loves the bunt too much but he has the team hustling, he plays the young guys, and guys play well under him (sample size acknowledged). he isn't a brainiac as a tactician but he brings a lot to the table to appreciate
Lots of work now for programmers of computer baseball games, reference sites, etc. Got to add in something for 'returns to previous base'. The old rule of baseball that you can see something new everyday applies again.
29. Delino DeShields & Yarnell
Posted: April 20, 2013 at 02:06 PM (#4420372)The Moseby situation was him stealing second, going back to first, then taking second again on one continuous play - remember watching that on TV, lots of fun. I think it was the same year that Kenny Williams (yes, the White Sox GM) ran over a third base coach while running the bases. Checking Wikipedia it was in 1990 and he knocked out John McLaren, the third base coach. Obviously Kenny didn't pay attention to the coaches. Can't find the video online though :( They had a great view of it from an overhead camera on the roof of the SkyDome which was very funny to watch.
30. rlc
Posted: April 20, 2013 at 02:20 PM (#4420384)I guess. When you go 32 innings without a run I guess I can't argue with the need for occasionally taking those chances. One thing that doesn't factor into the strict cost/benefit is the risk of injury. This is not a particularly hardy bunch. I bet Braun hurts something on an 'aggressive' play this year.
So the play began with Segura attempting a steal of third - I had never seen an attempted steal fail not because the runner was caught, but because he stole a different base instead.

When watching the Moseby clip, one of the top recommendations by youtube is a clip of Ozzie Guillen getting fooled by a fake throw back to the pitcher after a pickoff a attempt. Twice in one season. Future managerial material.

Twice in one season. Worth watching for the second one, smoothly performed by Dave Bergman. Nice swat to the side of the head for the tag, too. Poor Ozzie.
34. Walt Davis
Posted: April 20, 2013 at 06:28 PM (#4420676)this aggressive play began when ron r showed up. dates back to 2011
It's doubly funny because on every high throw to second base on a steal, Ozzie would try to fake out the runner by pretending it had sailed over his head into CF. I think he caught one or two guys early and then he kept doing it for 12 years.

How To Tie A Clove Hitch
If you are wondering how to tie a clove hitch, you've come to the right place. The clove hitch, sometimes referred to as a clove hitch knot, is an all-purpose utility hitch. Technically, there is a difference between a hitch and a knot in that a hitch is a temporary fastening whereas a knot is more permanent. The clove hitch fits into the category of a temporary fastening whether It is used to attach a rope to a carabiner, or for tying a rope to a cylindrical object, such as a tree. It is made up of two single hitches, one superimposed on the other. It gets its name because the completed hitch resembles a cloven hoof.
There are two ways to tie a clove hitch: making loops in a rope, or tying a rope around an object. The loop method can be done with both hands or with one hand. The one-handed method is useful when you only have one hand free.
Two-handed loop method for tying a clove hitch:
- Make a loop with the working end crossing behind the rope.
- Make another loop to the right of the first loop.
- Take the right loop and place it over, or on top of, the left loop.
- Clip both loops to the carabiner.
- Pull tight to secure.
One-handed loop method for tying a clove hitch:
- Clip the rope running from the harness into the carabiner. The rope in front of the carabiner is from the harness; as it extends behind the carabiner, it is going to the belayer.
- With wrist face down, grab the portion of the rope going to the belayer.
- Make the loops by turning the wrist face up.
- Clip that loop into the carabiner next to the rope that is already there.
Tying the rope around an object using a clove hitch:
- Wrap the rope one time around the object. Make sure the direction of the rope is from front to back. If the cylindrical object is horizontal, make sure the rope goes over the top of the object, not under it.
- When the first wrap around is complete, start a second wrap around by crossing the rope over the first wrap. The crossover will be in front and will go to the left of the first wrap.
- Once the second wrap is around the object and to the front, pass the rope under the loop that the second wrap made. At this point, the two ends of the rope will be going in opposite directions and the shape of the hitch will resemble a pretzel.
- Tighten by pulling the ends of the rope.
- A clove hitch should never been used when there is a danger of it slipping off an object. It works best when tension is created by pulling on it at both ends at the same time. If there is no pull, or if the pull in intermittent, it can loosen.

Village to fix damaged drains
No response on financial support at store.
The Brady village board agreed to fix damaged storm drains on either side of the driveway into the Get-N-Go parking lot when warmer weather allows for pouring cement.
Utilities superintendent Keith Wagnitz told trustees water has apparently washed between the asphalt of the street and the drain box causing the curb to settle.
He said the boxes need resealed with the surrounding pavement and the curb must be replaced on both sides.
Get-N-Go owner Jack Mann asked if the village's engineer firm, Miller & Associates of Kearney, will look at the project to make sure the same issue won't happen again.
He also asked that the sidewalk be replaced.
"We're not responsible for the sidewalk," said vice chairman Troy Viter. "We're responsible for the curb."
Mann agreed that paying to replace the sidewalk is his responsibility as property owner but contended the village's damaged storm drain was the cause for the crumbling sidewalk.
Viter said if an engineer's opinion is necessary, the village will make the contact.
Trustees did not respond, however, to comments and questions from Mann about why the village has not done business with the store.
"I can't thank the people of this community enough for their support but I am disappointed that the village has not supported us financially," Mann said. "We've been open almost two months and we have not sold one gallon of fuel to the village."
Mann was previously told the village purchased fuel at the Brady One-Stop at the Interstate 80 interchange because that business was willing to waive the 24-cent fuel tax.
"The village can file a claim with the state to get that fuel tax reimbursed," Mann said. "I don't think it's my duty to do that."
In other business, trustees agreed to pay each of the two full-time village employees $300 as a Christmas bonus as well as $50 for the part-time custodian.
