Aretha Franklin Is Asked About Today's "Divas," Adele, Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift And Nicki Minaj, And She's Not Impressed
Queen diva Aretha Franklin has been promoting her new hit album, Aretha Franklin Sings The Great Diva Classics, and stopped to chat with The Wall Street Journal about it. During her conversation with Christopher John Farley, he asked her why she decided to take on the songs of others, including her decision to sing Adele's "Rolling in the Deep."
"It was Mr. Davis, the chairman's idea…he brought the list to me, the list of singers and so on. But it was great because I had already bought some of these records and enjoyed them so it was natural."
"Rolling in the Deep, I liked it when I first heard it…I said, 'you know what? I like that melody and I like that song.' So when Clive presented it to me, I said 'absolutely.'"
Farley also asked her about today's singers, and how many choose to use auto-tune, something Franklin isn't feeling: "Oh please. That's ridiculous." So when he asked her to tell him the first thoughts that come to her head when she thinks of today's divas (she did laud the late Whitney Houston: "She had a gift"), she didn't have that much to say. She gave a thumbs up to Adele and Alicia, but that was about it.
Adele : "Young singer. Good singer."
Alicia: "Young performer. Good writer. Producer."
Taylor Swift: "Okay…Great gowns. Beautiful gowns."
Nicki Minaj: "Nicki Minaj…Hmmm…I'm going to pass on that one."
Gotta love 'retha! She keeps it all the way real. Check out her chat with the WSJ below. The conversation about divas starts at the 3:50 mark.
"This Cover Is Just Painful": About That Time Aretha Franklin Decided To Cover Adele's "Rolling In The Deep"…
I think we can all agree that Aretha Franklin can sing just about anything. She is THE voice, and that voice was the standard for a long time in R&B and soul music (and she is a massive influence to many of today's performers).
But when she released her cover of Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" yesterday, which will be featured on Franklin's upcoming cover album, Aretha Franklin Sings The Great Diva Classics, the reviews were mixed.
"I'm glad that Aretha is still with us and performing. She did a good job, and her voice is still powerful.
She is called 'Lady Soul', for a reason!"
"Very disappointing. A dull, uninspired arrangement. Ms. F sounds good but deserves a better arrangement. Better still. How about Adele writing her a new song???"
"It started great for the first 20-23 seconds, and then after she immediately started taking significant liberties with the song that made it a bit too excessive IMO."
"I absolutely loved this cover. I for one thought her voice was amazing in this. I actually can't stand the sound of Adele's voice and very much prefer this over the original."
"I hope I'm not alone in thinking that sounded awful."
"She is the one and only Aretha. No one else compares."
"She would've TORE this song up! Back in 1965. But, in 2014. Aretha is 70+ years old & her voice is no longer the same. That's why she is using Auto-tune. I would have LOVED to hear her sing this song back in 1965 tho. It would've been WAY better than Adele's version. She still the Queen Of Soul. #Legend"
Personally, I think Franklin sounded good (I didn't hear auto-tune, but something weird was going on with the production at times), but the karaoke chorus and inclusion of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" was a little much.
But what do you think? Check out the cover below and let us know if it's a pass or play for you. The album comes out on Oct. 21!
How Adele's 1-Year-Old Son Won A Five-Figure Sum From Lawsuit
Adele wasn't too pleased to learn that UK photo agency Corbis Images had been providing paparazzi photos of her son's "milestone moments" to British tabloids. As a result, she and her partner, Simon Konecki, decided to go after the agency, BBC News reports.
The "Someone Like You" singer's lawyers told the High Court yesterday that she is adamant about her son never becoming "public property."
"It is a matter of profound sadness that many of his milestone moments, such as his first family outing and his first trip to playgroup, were photographed and published worldwide expressly against his family's wishes," Adele's solicitor, Jenny Afia, said. "These images were taken during private, recreational time unconnected with professional or public engagements. They represent a clear infringement of our client's right to privacy."
In response to their legal filing, Corbis U.K. has agreed to pay damages, legal fees and has also agreed not to use the images again. As for the big payout, Jenny says that the funds will be placed into little Angelo's trust fund. She says that the couple will also "continue to do all they can to protect Angelo's rights in relation to the paparazzi, including taking legal action where necessary."
"They will also continue efforts to improve the laws relating to paparazzi and children generally, building on the successful campaign Adele helped fund in California resulting in far stricter harassment laws."
Lastly, the couple has vowed to go after any freelance photographers who continue to photograph their son in this manner.
Gimme A Break: Celebrity Moms Who Stopped Working To Raise A Family
Some women can't afford to stay at home after becoming a mother while others are career-orientated and look forward to returning to work. However, these celebrity moms decided to take some time off and raise a family.
Christina Milian
Christina Milian teamed up with producer/songwriter The Dream to work on some music together but things turned into something more in no time. Soon after rumors began to make their way around that the two were dating, the couple eloped and then announced they were expecting a baby. Milian gave birth to little Violet in early 2010 but by that time, she and The-Dream had split up. Taking some time off from her career to become a first-time mother, the "Dip It Low" singer was hired as the social media correspondent for the reality singing competition show "The Voice" in 2012. Marking her return to music, she also signed to Lil Wayne's Young Money label.
No Shame In Their Game: Celebs Who Dated Online
These days people are resorting to different measures than heading to their local supermarket to find a mate; they're heading online. And even celebrities are using modern technology to find a date. Check out this list of celebs who dated online.
Charlie Sheen
Following his split from second wife Denise Richards, Charlie Sheen decided to use the internet to find the next future Mrs. Sheen. The former "Two and a Half Men" star signed up with Millionairematch.com and has reportedly chatted with several women online. But then he found love with fellow actress Brooke Mueller and the two were happily wedded for three years. Nowadays, the father of five is engaged to a former adult star.
#DoBetter: Celebrity Children Unfairly Attacked By The Internet
Coming into the world of show business, stars know their lives will be dissected under the microscope by the media and the public but unfortunately these celebrity offsprings were also unfairly targeted and picked on online.
Blue Ivy Carter
Before she was even born, Blue Ivy was one of the most talked about celebrity spawns. Parents Jay Z and Beyonce have done a great job of shielding their daughter Blue Ivy from the limelight during her first year but as soon as the R&B singer started sharing candid snapshots of mother and child, people started talking. Now the talk has reached a fever pitch in the form of a petition on Change.org to get Blue Ivy's parents to comb her hair. The petition's alleged creator Jasmine Toliver has publicly defended herself saying it was a joke and that she is a fan of natural hair.

No one could dispute that being a celebrity certainly comes with privileges, but there's a downside to everything. Unfortunately, because these stars spend so much time in the limelight, they've been the target of negative criticism after being bullied because their weight.
Ke$ha doesn't fit the stereotype of how the average singer/rapper is supposed to look. Born and raised in Los Angeles, the 27-year-old marches to the beat of her own drum, so when it was revealed that the "Die Young" rapper checked into rehab for an eating disorder earlier this year, fans were shocked. Even worse, her mother revealed that Ke$ha was bullied to lose weight by people within her own inner circle. Soon after checking in, Ke$sha released a statement: "I'm a crusader for being yourself and loving yourself but I've found it hard to practice." She continued that she was aiming "to learn to love myself again. Exactly as I am."
Young Celebrities Who Are Already Aging Badly
For many celebrities, looking young is a priority. But though some have mastered the art of never aging (we're looking at you Iman and Pharell!) others are already starting to weather way too soon. We don't know if it's the hard partying and fast living or just genetics, but either way, these 15 young celebrities who are aging badly better invest in some Oil of Olay — and soon!
Chris Brown, 24
As cute as Chris Brown was back in the day it's hard to see what drinking, partying, and a few jail visits have done to him.
Has 2013 Proven That Cultural Misappropriation Has Gone Too Far?
The truth is in the pudding. Cultural appropriation has been somewhat of an unfortunate thing for a while, but cultural MISappropriation has ascended to new heights in 2013. Cough… cough… Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, yeah you two be doing the most. And that's why I think the lines that separate white artists identifying with culturally-significant genres of music and white artists appropriating and misappropriating black culture are blurred — while black and other artists of color are not getting the same love as white artists within the same genres.
Let's start off by saying cultural appropriation and assimilation into another group's culture is not necessarily the worst thing and is blurred with cultural MISappropriation — a clear disrespect to that culture, but it's surely complex. There are many white artists that identify with musical genres and influences that have typically been culturally significant to black folks: Eminem, Adele and Justin Timberlake to name a few from modern day who have garnered much respect from black, mainstream and cross-cultural audiences. And in these modern times, music doesn't have a color, which it shouldn't! Therefore, there's going to be some cultural appropriation, but now it's gotten out of hand.
But before cultural appropriation became today's issue, R&B was the most popular genre of music in the '90's. This is because of the many black fore-artists who fought for their civil rights by appealing to both black and mainstream audiences and making their music so distinctive that white artists could not copy it and change the record cover. Hence, they paved the way for so many black artists to easily crossover in modern-day music. This has shown our progression as mankind (specifically American music) — artists being able to crossover into popular music from Latin pop, to country and hip-hop/R&B artists.
Many white artists identify with black musical influences and even vice versa. You'll notice music competition shows and social media platforms showcase contestants and aspiring music artists who 20 or 30 years ago wouldn't be expected to have such soulful voices because they're white. Black culturally-significant music hasn't only broken down barriers, but has transcended into touching the masses. And this goes to show music is not simply about color or even culture, but is art of expression moving and unifying people who can identify with the emotions, lyrics, rhythm and voices behind songs and instruments.
But in the 2010s, music moved into a dance-pop sound, when crossover Urban music artists like Usher and Rihanna shifted into a David Guetta-like dance sound. That's what popular now. R&B as a genre is no longer the most or even one of the most popular crossover musical genres anymore. There are clearly R&B influences in today's music but it seems like the most popular crossover artists are now white instead of artists of color — specifically black artists.
In particular, I'm happy for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' success. They've worked hard and accomplished a lot with their own productions (without a label). But the American Music Awards winning list was dominated by white artists across genres with the exception of pop superstar Rihanna. And the Grammy's nominations left off many talented black artists. It seems like the uphill battle black artists have gone through over the cross of music's history is nowhere near done. White artists still outsell and garner more praise. Not only are these white artists talented, which most white artists who identify with R&B/soul and hip-hop music have to be in order to be taken seriously, but their mainstream-appealing skin color still works in their favor.
Eminem is an example of raw talent, perseverance and hard work — yet he has that mainstream appeal I was just talking about, which causes a complexity with cultural appropriation. Yes, he's one of the greatest rappers of all time; he's also the best-selling rapper of all time, and you know what he deserves his "Rap God" status. As lyrically and musically talented as he is, he once had to fight for respect as a white-male rapper. Hence, his true-life story inspired his starring movie role in 8 Mile. But how can one question his status of being the best selling rapper of all time without discrediting his talent and even his worthiness of his status? The truth of the matter he is deserving of his iconic success, but young white males identify with him and as huge consumers of hip-hop and rap music, they also make up a significant portion of mainstream American culture and society.
Within who's left as popular soul-influenced artists, it's clear some of Adele's musical influences are black female artists who paved the way not only for Beyonce and Rihanna to be mainstream popular artists today, but for women in general. Hence, totally justifying why Adele relates to making soulful torch and love songs, and to artists like Aretha Franklin who existed within these sub-genres. But with the shift to somewhat R&B influenced dance-pop music of today, I wonder if Jennifer Hudson had written and sung "Rolling in the Deep" would it be as big of a hit? Adele is a pop-soul artist, but Hudson is equally as talented and a respected artist and award-winning musical actress with a soulful Whitney Houston-influenced voice. But Hudson is nowhere near selling as many albums or singles as Adele.
Halle Berry Happy As Paparazzi-Deterrent Bill Is Passed, Keeping Photogs Away From Celeb Kids
After years of having shouting matches with paparazzi in the streets and having to hold back her man Olivier Martinez from opening a can of whoop a** on them at the airport, Halle Berry and her daughter Nahla will finally get some peace and privacy from hounding photogs.
A bill (Senate bill 606) was signed into law this week by Gov. Jerry Brown in California that will keep paparazzi from getting too close to the children of celebrities. Halle Berry and Jennifer Garner both testified on behalf of the bill, sharing stories of having people who move along with the photographers threaten the stars and their children. Garner even recounted one story where a deranged man said he would harm Garner's son who was still in her stomach at the time.
"There are violent, mentally ill stalkers, who can now get close to my kids by simply following mobs of photographers and blending in. Like the very man who threatened to cut the babies out of my belly, who was arrested, waiting behind our daughter's preschool, standing among the throng of paparazzi."
Berry even said that a pap asked her daughter Nahla, "How do you feel, Nahla? You may not see your father again. How do you feel about that?'
Luckily for both women, and Adele, who traveled to Sacramento to share their story, their children won't have to be harassed for money.
According to E! News, the bill says that harassment includes "conduct in the course of the actual or attempted recording of children's images and/or voices, without express parental consent, by following their activities or lying in wait." If paparazzi are caught behaving in such a manner, they can spend up to a year in jail and possibly be fined $10,000 for their first violation, $20,000 for their second and up to $30,000 for their third. They are still allowed to take pictures from afar and publish images of the children, but all in all, they can't be sitting and waiting at their schools, or coming close to mother and child without express parental consent.
Halle Berry has gone on to thank Garner and Adele since news broke that the bill was made a law, and had this to say in a statement:
"On behalf of my children, it is my hope that this is the beginning of the end for those overly aggressive paparazzi whose outrageous conduct has caused so much trauma and emotional distress."
I can't imagine having people follow me and my children around all day and night just to snap a picture, and then be threatening about it, so I know this is a major win for Berry and co. But what do you think? Is the law necessary? Or is this paparazzi treatment something that should be expected?

Costa Pacifica Review
About This Ship
More Ships
Cruise Ship Overview
Launched in 2009 as a Concordia-class ship, Costa Pacifica celebrates music throughout her interiors from the main atrium where musical symbols and instruments play a part in the décor to the ship's theater with its perfect acoustics. European sailings are on tap in the Western or Eastern Mediterranean and Baltic.
The largest ships built for an Italian cruise line are larger versions of identical sister ships Costa Magica and Costa Fortuna, which were derived from parent Carnival Cruise Lines' Carnival Triumph and Carnival Conquest. But Costa has pulled out all the stops with these vessels.
The Samsara Spas are far from ho-hum, both in facilities and amenities. Some of the largest at sea, they span 20,500 square feet. Luxurious, Samsara staterooms and suites are located adjacent to and one deck below the spa itself. A health-conscious Samsara Restaurant is reserved for their dining pleasure on deck 3. Other cool features are not one, but two swimming pools with retractable roofs, a huge outdoor movie screen, and a Grand Prix racing simulator—just like the ones Formula One race car drivers use for training.

Sunday Aug. 7 is National Kids Day, a day devoted to encouraging parents to spend quality time with their children. Are there any local events going on to celebrate this holiday?
"Every Day is Kids' Day! Why don't we get a Parent's Day?" Seriously, I haven't heard of anything.
Yeah, actually my daughter has been asking about this holiday (after both mother's day AND father's day she said, 'When is kids day?'. I'm not sure I plan on telling her. She thought the ice cream truck was "the music truck" for the first few years... Seriously though, I guess the purpose of the day is really about encouraging parents to make time to do stuff with their kids which would be a worthy topic for the ed page if I could localize it. We'll see. Thanks for your input...

Byline: Susan Abram, Staff WriterDespite a decline in teenage smoking rates, a coalition of health groups has renewed a campaign to discourage Hollywood from making movies with characters who smoke.
Beginning today, a mobile billboard featuring a teenage girl asking, "Which movie studios will cause me to smoke this summer?" will be driven around the Los Angeles area.
Young people also will be encouraged to use social networking sites like Facebook to voice their opinions on films made by Paramount, Disney Pictures, Sony Pictures, 20th Century Fox, Universal and Warner Bros.
The campaign was launched Wednesday by the American Medical Association Alliance, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and the California Youth Advocacy Network.
The coalition plans to keep a tally of tobacco-related images in this summer's movies, including "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," a PG-13 rated film that shows the character portrayed by Hugh Jackman smoking a cigar.
"I'm willing to bet not one child would have enjoyed that movie any less if he hadn't been smoking," said Sandra Frost, President of the 27,000-member AMA Alliance.
The group launched its Screen Out! campaign in 2006 to discourage smoking youth-rated films.
Dr. Jonathan Fielding, director for the Los Angeles Department of Public Health, said the Motion Picture Association of America should expand its ratings system to include smoking as a factor.
"I can't imagine a movie executive wanting their children to become nicotine addicts because of what they saw in their movies," Fielding said. "This is not new news to Hollywood, but I think they should step up.
"Let's be clear, any movie with smoking should be rated R. If the industry worries about (the rating), they should work to remove gratuitous smoking from movies."
Adult smoking rates in California have decreased 41 percent, from 22.7 percent in 1988 to 13.3 percent in 2008, according to the state's Department of Public Health. In 2008, the youth smoking rate declined to 14.6 percent, one of the lowest rates in the nation.
But health experts say smoking among black youths persists. And they say that the younger a person is when they start, the harder it is to quit.
MPAA spokeswoman Angela Martinez said smoking is already a consideration in the ratings system, and can result in a rating being changed from a G to PG or even to PG-13.
"The rating system has been around for 40 years, and there are several ways the raters make judgements," Martinez said. "Their main job is to rate a movie with all the information parents will want to see. Three out of four movies already rated R are often movies that have depictions of smoking. If a movie is rated G and there's smoking in that movie, it probably will up it to a PG."
Wolverine's descriptor reads: "Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, and some partial nudity."
Both Fielding and Martinez agreed showing smoking in films such as "Good Night and Good Luck," a biopic depicting the 1953 clash between Edward R. Murrow and Sen. Joseph McCarthy, is allowed because of its historical context. But Fielding also praised films such as "Star Trek" for its smoke-free purity.
Martinez also said the MPAA is a member of Hollywood Unfiltered, which educates the industry of all the health consequences of smoking, and last year, major motion picture studios announced that they would include anti-smoking public service announcements on youth-rated DVDs.
A mobile billboard featuring a teenage girl asking, "Which movie studios will cause me to smoke this summer?" will be driven around the L.A. area to warn teens about the dangers of smoking.

text: Successful LA attorney Terry McQuinn (Gary Sinise) returns to his Maine home town, intent upon settling the estate of his late, long-estranged father Mac (Michael Rhoades), then returning home as soon as possible. But once he has arrived, Terry finds that he is inexorably bound to his old house by vague and fragmentary memories of a horrendous tragedy in his childhood. Figuring into Terry's plight is Katherine Wentworth (Joely Richardson), a girl from his past who, unbeknownst to either one of them, is also a key player in that tragedy. The story then takes a number of surprising turns, especially with the arrival of a "dead" man who isn't, and a wintertime pilgrimage to a most unusual parking garage (where, incidentally, the viewer finally learns the significance of the film's title. Adapted by Don Snyder from his own novel, Fallen Angel was produced for the CBS "Hallmark Hall of Fame" TV series, and was originally telecast on November 23, 2003. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Injury update
Liverpool will hope Steven Gerrard and Martin Kelly are fit for Saturday's game with Wigan. The Reds have a few injury doubts for the game with Gerrard and Kelly withdrawing from international duty this week. Martin Skrtel was also unable to play for Slovakia after picking up a knock against Chelsea. Joe Cole and Jonjo Shelvey are also doubtful. "It's only Thursday so we will find out as we get nearer to the weekend," said Kenny Dalglish. "Obviously we hope he [Gerrard] will be (fit). He's having treatment. "At the moment there is nobody that we know of that is coming back from international duty with any injury problems. "Martin Skrtel travelled and then came back home. We'll have to assess him as well. "Obviously Joe Cole, who wasn't involved, could be training today as well. "We might not be too bad for bodies but as I say, we are not training until later on and we won't know until then, when everyone reports back. "Jonjo got a bit of bad news on his knee, so we are just waiting to have that diagnosed and see what has to be done for him. He was doing well so it is a disappointment for everybody."

Cavs Wallace breaks leg | 02.27.09 at 12:37 am ET |
Kevin Garnett's injury could have created a window of opportunity for the Cleveland Cavaliers to pull ahead in the Eastern Conference. But now they too are down a starter. On Thursday night forward Ben Wallace broke his right leg during a 19-point loss the Houston Rockets. TNT's David Aldridge reported Wallace will miss 8-10 weeks.
This injury is a blow to the Cavaliers front court. Wallace, 34, is one of the most experienced players on the team. Instead of having his veteran leadership down the stretch, the Cavaliers will have to rely on J.J. Hickson to step up in his rookie season. Wallace was averaging 6.7 rebounds, 3.0 points, and 24.3 minutes per game this season. Hickson is averaging 4.5 points and 2.9 boards in 12.2 minutes per game.
The Celtics will play the Cavaliers next Friday, March 6 in Boston.

Cs to be challenged by one of their own | 01.08.09 at 11:42 pm ET |
Before Rajon Rondo was taking hard spills on the court, it was Delonte West who was sacrificing his body for the Boston Celtics. Two years after leaving the Cs as part of the Ray Allen deal, West has brought his hustle to the Cleveland where it has sparked LeBron James and the streaking Cavaliers. Those who played with West early in his career are not surprised by his success.
'There's no doubt that I thought before Delonte even went there, I thought Delonte was a perfect fit for LeBron James,' said Brian Scalabrine, a teammate of two seasons. 'When he got traded to Seattle and he wasn't playing for whatever, it's just all about the place you go and where you fit in.'
West has fit in perfectly since being dealt from the Seattle SuperSonics last season. The addition of West, along with Mo Williams, is an upgrade to the Cavaliers backcourt that once relied heavily on James' long-range game. Rather than compensating for the inconsistencies of Daniel Gibson and Sasha Pavlovic, James can play closer to the basket without worrying about their guards.
West's gritty defense is also a factor in the Cavs' NBA-low 89.1 points allowed per game (down from 96.7 last season). His intensity will be challenging for the Celtics to contain when they take on the Cavaliers on Friday night.
'D-West has helped them a lot,' said Kendrick Perkins, who played three seasons with West. 'He puts another shooter out there on the court for LeBron to pass it to when he drives and penetrates. D-West can make plays. He's a defender, he's very feisty, and D-West helps their team a lot. We've just got to make sure we go out there and try to keep him under control, keep him off the offensive rebounding, try to get in his aspects a little bit, and just go from there.'
After losing for three years in Boston and inexplicably riding the bench in Seattle, West inked a multi-year deal last summer to stay in Cleveland. Even though his tough play could burn the Celtics this season, his former teammates know he's in the right place.
Said Scalabrine, 'I told him when he came here (with the Cavs), 'Listen, you're in a place where you can be, as long as LeBron is there, you can be there for the rest of your career and you can thrive in that situation."
LeBron isn't Celtics biggest competition | at 9:54 pm ET |
Ask the Boston Celtics who their toughest competition in the East is and they won't say LeBron James. They'll tell you it is themselves who stand in their way of another title, that only they can control the fate of their season. On Friday night when the suddenly skidding Celtics take the court against the Cleveland Cavaliers, their biggest challenge is not stopping King James. It is simply not getting beat by their own mistakes.
'I really don't care who we play next,' Ray Allen said. 'It's just, I look at it personally as an opportunity to get back on track to do what I need to do to help this team. Every little thing that I look at that has my input or my stamp individually for this team, I've got to find out ways to do it better, to make it better out there.'
After winning 19-straight, the Celtics are on a three-game losing streak and have dropped six of their last eight contests. At this point they aren't seeing Friday as a chance to beat an Eastern Conference rival but rather an opportunity to get back on track.
'The thing about our team is that we don't ever look ahead. Now that we've got Cleveland, we're concentrating on Cleveland. But we never once had just talked about beating Cleveland,' Kendrick Perkins said. 'We need a win. We're desperate for one right now.'
Even though winning on the road has been a struggle for the Celtics this season, spoiling the Cavs perfect home record is a test they are up for.
'We have an opportunity to go in down there playing one of the best teams in the league,' Leon Powe said. 'They're real hot at home too. I think they've won about 18 straight in their house. Man, it's going to be a challenge. But we've got a wonderful opportunity to go in there and play well and hopefully pull out a win to give us a big confidence boost.'
A win in Cleveland would do more than get the Celtics back on the winning side. The Eastern Conference standings are so close this season that an early January victory could pay dividends in the playoffs.
'Really, we're just trying to win all the games we possibly can and get homecourt advantage,' Perkins said. 'That just would make it a little bit easier for us in the playoffs. But if we don't get homecourt advantage I'm not saying we won't win he championship, but it'd really be a whole lot harder.'
With an electrified crowd behind them, the Cavs will also look to avenge last season's Eastern Conference Semifinals elimination. The biggest key is matching their intensity.
'It has the same sense of urgency,' Powe said. 'We've got to go out there, play hard, it's going to be just like a Game 7. They're going to come at us and try to hit us in the mouth first. We've got to take it and then respond back. We haven't been doing that as of lately but I think we should be alright going out there. Our captains and everybody on this team know what we've got to do to win the game.'
Playing hard is one thing, but the Celtics don't have a panicked attitude toward the game. Allen added the team has not reached the point of frustration yet, and Sam Cassell, the only member of the Celtics who has won back-to-back titles, explained there's no need to get flustered this early in January.
'When you're repeating you've got all that stuff with big matchups, but it doesn't matter,' he said. 'You want to win every game possible but it doesn't make you or break you. A team that got its rhythm in April going into the playoffs is a team that can win a championship … Why should we [worry]? We aren't breaking .500. When I won a championship we were 10 games over .500, that's all.'
The Celtics won 19 straight by focusing on one day at a time. After Friday night they have 44 more regular season games left and each one is just as important as a match up against LeBron James. It doesn't matter who's on the opposite side of the court. The Celtics have to take care of the five guys in green first.
'It wouldn't have made a difference if it were Cleveland or Sacramento,' Allen said. 'It wouldn't have made a difference. We lost three in a row and that's the mentality we have to have going into the game.'
Destination Championship: Why Boston has become a hotspot for NBA vets | 01.03.09 at 9:53 pm ET |
Come to Boston and win, that's how the Celtics organization is seen by many around the NBA. It has become a paradise of victory, a hotspot for veterans who want a legitimate shot at a championship. But it is also a place where selfishness and egos are checked at the door. Personal accolades mean nothing unless the team wins.
So what makes the Celtics, who downplay individual achievements, so much more appealing to vets than other teams who celebrate superstardom? Why settle for blending in when you could stand out next to Kobe Bryant or LeBron James? For those who have made the sacrifices, the explanation is very simple.
"Coming here you get to fit in and be a cog in the wheel," Ray Allen said. "It's not about any one individual here on this team. We play together and we beat teams together. We lose together. Everything is together."
Over the past few weeks the Celtics have been named as possible destinations for veterans Stephon Marbury, Robert Horry, and Dikembe Mutombo, among others. Even though they could have a legitimate shot of winning all with the Los Angeles Lakers or Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston has been a primary destination in the rumor mill.
"I think what's appealing is that we play together. We have three stars and they actually play together and I think that shows more," said head coach Doc Rivers. "But honestly I think they would play with Kobe as well and I think they would play with LeBron as well. We may be more aggressive in the market, let's say, than some of those teams. And maybe we're not. I think they would play for any of them. At least I would if I were the player."
Eight-year vet Eddie House, who has signed two contracts in two years with the Celtics, can understand why these players would be interested in Boston. The journeyman had already played with plenty of big names before — Elton Brand, Steve Nash, and Jason Kidd, to name a few ' and was lured back by selflessness rather than headliners.
"When you're playing with one guy then the ball's dominated by one guy," House explained. "Here, you've got a group of guys who like to share the basketball, who can take the load if they're asked to take the load. They aren't depended on the take the load, but if they are asked to take the load that night they will do it.
"But for the most part, it's very unselfish and it's not a 'me' attitude. With those guys (Bryant and James) it's more so they have to dominate the ball and you have to play off of them. To where these guys will get you the ball and play with you, instead of you playing off of them."
The Celtics are set apart from the rest of the league by more than just their trophy. The success of Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce sent the message that being the superstar doesn't guarantee being the best. It was only when these vets took a step back that they won it all.
"The point of us coming together last year, we were at a point in our lives, in our careers where we were somewhat content with what we had done individually," Allen said. "We could continue at that pace and finish our careers out that way being a great scorer on a team that never won. But if we didn't [let go] of our egos and come together, we would have been doing that for the rest of our careers. That's why, at that time, it seemed like it was a great moment for all of our careers. And I think there's that progression for most athletes."
Should the Celtics make any mid-season moves, they already know how to adapt to new additions. Last season veterans P.J. Brown emerged from semi-retirement and Sam Cassell accepted a buyout from the Los Angeles Clippers for the prospect of a ring. These acquisitions could have rattled the Celtics, but those already on the team didn't see less playing time. They saw a better shot at the title.
"The late in the season addition when you're already the number one team, you could have some grumbles about that and guys might not welcome guys in," House said. "But everybody knew this is a business and not only is this a business, but we were on a mission to a hang a banner in the rafters. So we had to accept what was going on for the greater good."
39-year-old Cassell re-signed with the Cs fully aware that he could be inactive the entire season. At this stage in his career, he doesn't need 20 minutes per game to be happy.
"It's about winning," he said. "For me, I don't know what [other veterans'] agendas are, but for me it was about winning. I just got a nice taste of winning so I just wanted to win. This was the best opportunity for me to win again."
As long as the Celtics continue to win with their unselfish play, Boston will stay on the map for veterans who want to capture a championship without having to do it all on their own.
"We welcome the help," Allen said. "Our egos, we're pretty selfless here on this team when it comes to playing basketball. We just want to win."
The door is open for eager vets, just as long as they leave their egos behind.

That's right – skip 2.0 through 4.0 – I just watched this video about a hydrogen powered car by GM. This has absolutely nothing to do with what I usually write about, but I just had to share. Watch this video about the GM Highwire a car that requires no oil or gasoline, a car without an engine in front – a car without pedals!! It's super scary to me, but it's real.

Just a little update.... Sam Bernard had major surgery to have a "small football" size tumor removed
from his spine. Sam let me know that after testing of the tumor, he was told it was NOT cancerous.
Sam says he will be back on the ice as soon as he heals up, maybe in a few months.

I would like to take this time to clarify some misconceptions about our league. since 2003, the board of directors
listed on our Articles of Incorporation, have been:
President - Keith Pomeroy
Vice President - Rusty Pickus
Treasurer - Tyra Gelinas
Secretary - Paul Ewers
In stating earlier, I was bringing the league current, Paul Ewers is currently revising the AOI. As soon as he presents his proposals, I will then call for a special meeting of the league to have a election of new officers. If anyone is interested in running for a position, now is
your chance to make a difference and move Old Timers Hockey forward.

There will be some updated news on the league soon, as I have talked to 2/3 of the board of directors
and am waiting to here from the last one, as he is on vacation.
There will be some changes to the schedule as UAF ice rink gave Old Timers March 8th ice we
previously did not have.
I will schedule a team rep meeting to look at teams and see if the need is there to add a player or two.

TEWKSBURY, Mass. (AP) — Thousands of workers at the troubled New England supermarket chain Market Basket are rallying to pressure management to reinstate the company's former chief executive or accept his offer to buy it.
Employees say they expected up to 15,000 employees, customers and supporters at Tuesday's rally outside a Market Basket store in Tewksbury, Massachusetts.
The family-owned chain has been in turmoil since June, when a board controlled by Arthur S. Demoulas fired his cousin, CEO Arthur T. Demoulas.
Hundreds of warehouse workers and drivers have refused to deliver food to the chain's 71 stores for two weeks, leaving store shelves empty and sending customers elsewhere.
Workers are hoping Arthur S. Demoulas' side of the family will accept an offer from his cousin to buy the company.

Re: Images of NVIDIA Shield from CES Show Floor (and More)
I totally fell in love with this thing at the press conference. I'm thinking it will be in the 300-400 range. You need to look past the device itself it's not JUST a tablet, it's meant to be a hub to your gaming, since it connects you to the "cloud" and to your home network and it outputs to your TV. The screen is there for extra options. This thing is meant to be played on a big TV, it looked incedible on the 4K TV NVIDIA was using.
EDIT: Hopefully the Tegra Champ will get to test one eventually!Rich C. (PKcable)

If this is priced about $250-300 it's a steal for me! I own a Vita and it is kind of a disappointment to me (not very many good games), And from what I've experienced on android, the Indie scene is sooo much more diverse than sony's or Microsoft's 1st party devs. This seems it will be more powerful than the OUYA.

Council employees offered 1% pay rise
Council employees in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who earn more than £14,880 are being offered a 1% pay rise this year.
Those on lower salaries will be offered a "slightly higher increase", the Local Government Association said.
The offer could affect more than one million staff and follows a 1% rise last year, after a three-year wage freeze.
Unison, which represents 600,000 workers, said it was "outraged".
It said council employees had already endured a "devastating three-year pay freeze and then a miserly 1% increase last year, representing a fall in pay in real terms back to the level of the 1990s".
The pay offer does not affect teachers, firefighters, chief executives or senior officers. They are covered by separate pay arrangements.
Financial pressuresCllr Sian Timoney, who chaired talks between employers on the matter, said there had been a "broad consensus" in favour of a deal.
Councils say they are facing a severe spending squeeze. Under such circumstances, they argue that they face a bleak decision. Hold pay down or cut jobs.
Those in charge of local government believe there are no easy savings left to make, and no quick fixes. To avoid a mass cull of staff, they have to avoid large pay increases.
This offer tries to address what some believe is a crisis of low pay in local government, by giving the least well-off the biggest increase - of around 4%.
But unions say that still leaves many earning barely more than the minimum wage.
A strike over pay is by no means certain. But the level of union anger is certainly rising.
The offer comes "at a time when local government is tackling the biggest cuts in living memory" and will add more than £164m to the local government pay bill, she said.
She added: "This offer balances our commitment to increase the pay of our hardworking employees with the responsibility we have to address the significant financial pressures we face.
"We believe that this is a fair deal for employees, given the limits of what we can afford, and a fair deal for the taxpayers and residents who use and pay for the vital services which local government provides."
But unions said workers would be "dismayed" at the offer.
Brian Strutton, national officer of the GMB union, said: "The extra for the lowest paid is welcome but is worth only a few pence on the hourly rate.
"It still leaves the local government workforce as the poor relations of the public sector, and councils can afford more because they are squirrelling away hundreds of millions in reserves."
Unison's head of local government, Heather Wakefield, said the 1% deal was a "slap in the face for the vast majority of local government workers".
The plans meant "the vast majority of local government workers have effectively been offered another pay cut", she said.
Both the GMB and Unison said they would consult their members.
The offer does not affect council staff in Scotland. Last October, Scottish councils imposed a pay deal on staff after almost a year of negotiations failed to provide an agreement.

Internet addiction is not recognized as a separate disorder by the American Psychiatric Association, and treatment is not generally covered by insurance. But there are many such treatment centers in China, South Korea and Taiwan — where Internet addiction is taken very seriously — and many psychiatric experts say it is clear that Internet addiction is real and harmful.
The five-acre center in Fall City, about 30 miles east of Seattle, can handle up to six patients at a time. Alexander is so far the only patient of the program, which uses a cold turkey approach. He spends his days in counseling and psychotherapy sessions, doing household chores, working on the grounds, going on outings, exercising and baking a mean batch of ginger cookies.
Whether such programs work in the long run remains to be seen. For one thing, the Internet is so pervasive that it can be nearly impossible to resist, akin to placing an alcoholic in a bar, Cash said.
The effects of addiction are no joke. They range from loss of a job or marriage to car accidents for those who can't stop texting while driving. Some people have died after playing video games for days without a break, generally stemming from a blood clot associated with being sedentary.
Psychotherapist Cosette Dawna Rae has owned the bucolic retreat center since 1994, and was searching for a new use for it when she hooked up with Cash. They decided to avoid treating people addicted to Internet sex, in part because she lives in the center with her family.

About the Fellows Program
The ABA Section of Real Property, Trust and Estate Law Fellows Program encourages the active involvement and participation of young lawyers in Section activities. The goal of the program is to give young lawyers an opportunity to become involved in the substantive work of the RPTE Section, while developing into future leaders.
RPTE Fellows are assigned to work with a substantive Committee Chair, who serve as mentors and help expose them to all aspects of committee membership; get involved in substantive projects, which could include writing for a RPTE publication; become Section liaisons to the ABA Young Lawyers Division or local bar associations; become active members of the Membership Committee; and attend important Section leadership meetings.
RPTE Fellows will:
- Be assigned to work with a substantive Committee Chair, who will serve as a mentor and help expose you to all aspects of committee membership
- Get involved in a substantive project, which could include writing for a RPTE publication
- Become a Section liaison to the ABA Young Lawyers Division or your local bar association
- Become an active member of the Membership Committee
- Attend important Section leadership meetings
The Fellowship appointment is for two years. To be considered for selection, a person must (1) have practiced in the trusts and estates or real property area for at least one year, (2) be younger than 36 years of age or have been admitted to the bar less than 10 years, and (3) have demonstrated leadership at the state or local bar level or in the ABA Young Lawyers Division. Applicants need not be ABA or RPTE members, yet we require accepted Fellows to become dues paying members of both the ABA and RPTE. All Fellows will receive reimbursement of up to $2,000 annually to attend Section meetings.
The Section promotes full and equal participation in our membership, the association, our profession, and the justice system by all persons. As such, we are committed to ensuring that no less than half of the Fellows chosen each year are diverse.

18U College Bound Team- Looking for players this summer IL/IN
Like (0)
Mid USA Mojo is looking for a couple players to complete this 2011 Summer roster! Our team has a solid core of college bound players (majority already signed), and after a full year of recruiting last year we are now planning an easy going summer schedule. If you are a strong player - who would like to get some great games in this summer with a fun bunch of girls- without all the pressure of every weekend tournaments and travel far far away....we may just be the team for you! Cost will be more than reasonable, and all tournaments will be withing 3 hours or so of Champaign IL.
Looking to fill.....
PITCHERS (of course who isn't! Although we do have 2 solid girls already- we offer a great opportunity for a pitcher wanting more time of the mound)
1st or 3rd base
We also thrive on helping girls find their college fit and if you are a player who would like to continue to play on in college and have not found that fit, we will get your name out and help with promotion to hopefully find you a spot! Our team spun off of another well known large program a few years ago, and EVERY one of our girls who has wanted to go on to play at college has been able to do so. We have players at both 2 year and 4 year schools. Next to paying big money for one of the large premier programs- we are your best bet for finding a college spot. We have been through it and know the ropes and have some contacts to help. If you can play, and have the will...we will help you find the way.

Since the release of the band's self-titled debut album in March 1974, Rush has become known for its musicianship, complex compositions, and eclectic lyrical motifs drawing heavily on science fiction, fantasy, history, and philosophy. Rush's music style has changed over the years, from a blues-inspired hard rock beginning, later moving into progressive rock, and including a period with heavy use of synthesizers. Its musical style returned to a more guitar-oriented sound in 1989. The band's latest studio album, Clockwork Angels (2012) won the Album Of The Year Award from Progressive Music Awards. The supporting tour ran from September 2012 to August 2013.
According to the RIAA Rush ranks 80th with sales of 25 million units in the United States. Although total worldwide album sales are not calculated by any single entity, several industry sources estimated Rush's total worldwide album sales at over 40 million units as of 2004. The group has been awarded 24 gold, 14 platinum, and 3 multi-platinum albums.
Rush has received seven Grammy award nominations, although they have never won a Grammy. The band, however, has won several Juno Awards, was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994, and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Over their careers, the members of Rush have been acknowledged as some of the most proficient players on their respective instruments, with each band member winning numerous awards in magazine readers' polls.
Rush is a Canadian rock band originally formed in August 1968, in the Willowdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario.
Since the release of the band's self-titled debut album in March 1974, Rush has become known for the instrumental skills of its members.
On February 16, 2009, Lifeson remarked that the band could begin working on a new album in the Fall of 2009 with Nick Raskulinecz once again producing.
