Groton — Town Police Chief Michael Crowley, who twice over the last several months been out of work for personal reasons, officially retired on Monday, according to Town Manager Mark Oefinger.
Crowley, whom Oefinger placed on administrative leave on Jan. 24 for undisclosed reasons, submitted a letter Friday announcing his planned retirement. Oefinger said Crowley has personal issues to deal with, and the announcement was not a big surprise.
After 28 years working for the town, Oefinger said Crowley was "certainly eligible."
"We wish him well," Oefinger said. "I'm sure it was tough to make that decision. But he has an opportunity to start a second career."
Crowley has served as chief since 2011, promoted from his position as deputy chief with the retirement of former Police Chief Kelly Fogg.
Oefinger said he plans to discuss with the Town Council options for hiring a new chief — whether to go outside the department or promote an officer already in the department. Deputy Chief Steven Smith, who was promoted at the same time as Crowley, will continue to run the department until Oefinger decides what course of action to take.
Oefinger said Crowley wrote in his retirement letter that he was honored to serve the town in numerous capacities over his many years of service and proud to be associated with the fine officers at the department.
A Worcester, Mass., native, Crowley started his career as a police officer in Hartford and joined the town police department in 1984, rising through the ranks and promoted to deputy chief in 2005. During the course of his career, Crowley had served on the statewide narcotics task force, was a member of the dive team and the bike patrol and a graduate of the FBI National Academy.
On Dec. 10, Crowley was granted a family medical leave and was out of work for about a month. Oefinger placed Crowley on administrative leave on Jan. 24, a day after emergency medical personnel were called to his Mystic home for an unknown medical call. He had not returned to work before the announcement of his retirement.
Oefinger said Crowley has talked about possible retirement since last year and is eligible for his pension benefits. Crowley's status at the department was discussed in executive session at the Town Council meeting last week, though councilors declined to comment on what was discussed.
Town Council member Bruce Flax said Monday that his kids played Little League with Crowley's kids and called him a "great guy."
"I'm jealous he gets to retire at 55," Flax said.

This review is from: MSI Z77A-GD55 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Pros: Physical installation was pretty easy.
Cons: When I took it out of the box, I found one of the heatsinks had come off and was rolling around in the bag. It's the one that says "Military Class III" in the pics. The base of the sink was still attached to the motherboard, but the upper metal part was detached from the rubbery base part. I'm not quite sure how to describe it; that's the best I can manage.
Board worked fine for about 10 months, then out of the blue it bricked on me. It would run for about 9-10 seconds and then restart. It wouldn't post or beep, it wouldn't respond to the keyboard or put anything on the screen. I took everything off the board except the CPU and it made no difference. I took it to a local shop and the guy there couldn't get it to work either.
Other Thoughts: I scoured forums trying to find similar problems, but I didn't see anything. Then I made the noob mistake of tearing the sticker off the back of the board, thinking I wouldn't have to pull the board out to read the numbers off it.
I ended up just replacing the board. This was my first build, so I didn't really understand the thing was damaged out of the box or how to get an RMA.
This review is from: HyperX 3K 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) (Stand-Alone Drive) SH103S3/120G
Pros: Speedy, nice size, works as advertised.
Cons: The drive failed after about 17 months of regular use, primarily running Windows 8.
Other Thoughts: I went to the Kingston support site and described my problem and the few steps I took to troubleshoot it. (swapping cables, ports, etc). They asked for a copy of my receipt to verify my warranty and then sent me an RMA number right away. I got my replacement within a few days.READ FULL REVIEW

A nice home stay with a very knowledgeable and helpful owner. Gave me information about darjeeling itself and also about sikkim, and enjoyed conversation about eastern religion and western music. The only downside is that there is no wifi connection, but it is easily overcome with a local sim or at an internet cafe. Good value for money, highly recommended.
Hi, thank you for the comments hope u r having a good time in west sikkim

Nike 6.0 x Stoked | 6.0 Days of Stoked Edit
The always rad surf/snow/skate mentoring organization, Stoked partnered with Nike this summer for the 6.0 Days of Stoked, a 6 week program that brought kids from inner city Los Angeles to the surf mecca of Huntington Beach to immerse them in the world of surf journalism. With little or no experience with either surfing or journalism, the kids bonded with the waves and each other to produce a 16 page magazine that even inspired US Open of Surf junior champ Evan Geiselman to donate his winnings to the cause. Check out this edit from the experience above and a look at the mag after the jump.

Featured Golf News
Johnson Humbled by Champion Golfer of the Year Tag
Zach Johnson is a modest Christian from Iowa who just so happens to be a fine golfer. The 39-year-old proved that once again, when in a rare Monday finish he tied Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman in regulation and then beat both of them in a four-hole playoff to win the Open Championship on the Old Course at St. Andrews.
The victory, his overall 12th on the PGA Tour and second major following his win at the 2007 Masters, took Johnson to No. 12 in the latest World Golf Ranking. It also prevented Jordan Spieth, who finished a stroke out of the aggregate-score playoff following a bogey-par finish, from winning the third straight major of the year, derailing the Texan's quest for a Grand Slam.
Johnson, who closed with a stellar, final-round 6-under 66 to reach 15-under 273 and then birdied the first two extra holes to build a lead that proved insurmountable, told reporters after he had accepted the Claret Jug that his triumph in the 144th Open Championship was a "humbling" experience.
"These are the things you dream about," said the Iowa City native. "These are the things you've worked to get to. I'm humbled because there's a lot of individuals that have put me in this position that trust in me, and I trust in them.
"I'm humbled by, I think, the talent that I've been given, and I'm humbled right now because of what's in my lap and the names that are etched on this piece of metal that is very special. It's the who's who in the game. It's the guys that paved the way. It's the individuals that are historic in sports. I've said it in '07. I'm humbled, I'm honored, and it's still beyond surreal. I guess when you have a great team, great things can happen."
Johnson added that despite his relatively diminutive size, his work ethic is a big factor in his success. "I feel like God gave me the ability to play a game. I try to take it very seriously. I realize it's just a game. I'm just a guy from Iowa that has been blessed with a talent, and this game provides great opportunity. The more opportunities -- I think if you mentally look at it that way, it kind of takes the pressure off.
"I don't want to make it any bigger than what it should be," added Johnson, who was teary-eyed after he parred the 18th hole to secure the win and received an emotional embrace from his wife Kim. The couple has three children, which puts things in perspective for Johnson. "This isn't going to define me or my career, at least I hope it doesn't. It's not my legacy. Granted, as a professional athlete and as a golfer I'm going to relish this. I'm going to savor this. I'm humbled by this. But my legacy should be my kids, my family, that kind of thing.
"I'm not the most charismatic, maybe emotional, fun-packed individual on the golf course; I get that."
Here's what Johnson, who earned $1,794,690 and 600 FedEx Cup points with the victory, had to tell reporters during his press conference Monday night.
MODERATOR: I'm delighted to welcome the 2015 Champion Golfer of the Year, Zach Johnson, to the interview room. Zach, first of all, congratulations on a tremendous victory. You're obviously going to hold onto the Claret Jug very closely. Can you tell us what was the key for you getting through the playoff there? Obviously very close and dramatic finish.
ZACH JOHNSON: Yeah, well, I don't know if there was one or two things. There was a lot of things. I felt like 1 and 2 were the ones that certainly you've got to get after. I mean, 18, I know it's a short hole, but at the same time it's a tough pin. I hit two good putts on 1 and 2. I hit four good shots on 1 and 2. I really hit one errant shot in the playoff, and that clearly was my second shot on 17, just not quality there.
Outside of that, you know, I made a good 5. Felt like a par-5 anyway. The key, you know, certainly for the week is patience and perseverance, without question, and I think in the playoff in particular, it was truly about just making the best of opportunities, because you know the other two guys are not going to let it slide, specifically Louis; he played tremendous. Both of those guys could be sitting here right now, too.
Q. There were a lot of emotions after you made that putt on the 72nd hole. How did you get your mind back into thinking there might be a playoff and preparing for that?
ZACH JOHNSON: Yeah, there was emotion there. Clearly because it was the 72nd hole and I had a good round going; that was part of it. I missed one on 18 last week, which was frustrating because I hit a good putt, and you know, the emotion was there briefly because I knew mentally I had to get my emotions in check because I had to get ready for obviously what happened. Clearly I guess I could have won it in 72 holes and I could have lost in 72 holes. I'm just trying to stay in the moment, and at that point get to the range and just warm up and see where things go. I didn't have any expectations. I did all I can do, and obviously fortunately it went my way.
Q. How much more special does it make it that there were so many guys playing really well today? You started off any one of 10 had a great chance, and to beat that many players, and you didn't have a walk in the park; it was a battle right from the start.
ZACH JOHNSON: It was. It was a test starting Thursday certainly. The elements -- I mean, I can go on and on about this. I think I probably got the better end of the wave. I didn't hit a golf shot on the golf course on Saturday. I had a nice day off to relax, work out, et cetera, and then I didn't get off to a good start on the third round on Sunday, but I managed to make some birdies coming in, which was crucial, just to get my round under par. Like you said, it was bunched going into today.
I felt like if I can get a little bit of momentum early on in the day, then who knows what's going to happen, and I'm 7-under through 12 holes or whatever it was. I didn't think it would be quite that significant. But I hit good shots. I had opportunities. I mean, I actually made some putts, I couldn't deny that. I made one on 2 that really kick started my day from probably 25 feet.
Made one off the green on 4, but I missed a lot of 12-to-15-footer for eagle on the 5th hole and missed another 12-footer on the 6th hole. I played really solid and put myself in a position to make birdies and make a run. I knew the guys in front of me, like you said, those names, they're well accomplished. They're champions. They're not going to back down. I clearly had to be somewhat aggressive early on in the day because those outward holes are the ones you've got to kind of take advantage of.
Q. You said earlier in the week you quite often feel under the radar mid-tournament. Did you still feel that today and how do you feel now in terms of under the radar?
ZACH JOHNSON: Well, I guess that radar is going bonkers right now. You know, I don't know. I don't mind being in that position, you know. I don't know, I did say that, and when my game is good, certainly I surface on the radar. I don't know if it's ever really beeping on me. But you know, I said it back in 2007; I mean, I feel like God gave me the ability to play a game. I try to take it very seriously. I realize it's just a game. I'm just a guy from Iowa that has been blessed with a talent, and this game provides great opportunity. The more opportunities -- I think if you mentally look at it that way, it kind of takes the pressure off.
I don't want to make it any bigger than what it should be. This isn't going to define me or my career, at least I hope it doesn't. It's not my legacy. Granted, as a professional athlete and as a golfer I'm going to relish this. I'm going to savor this. I'm humbled by this. But my legacy should be my kids, my family, that kind of thing.
Q. Can you talk a little bit about the magnitude of what Jordan was trying to accomplish today, and as a second part to that question, he was one of the first to congratulate you. What did that mean to you, and can you share what he might have said?
ZACH JOHNSON: Well, he said congratulations and that he was proud. I mean, he's a -- he is a peer of mine. He's an acquaintance of mine. He is a really good friend of mine. Granted, he's 18 years my age, younger, which is perspective. I can't describe the magnitude as to what he was going through because I've never been in that position certainly. We haven't really seen that with the exception of Tiger, right? I mean, truthfully he could be sitting here. You know what I mean? Someone said he had a double out there today.
I mean, he could be sitting here. Now he's made his share of putts over the last odd months, but to have a champion like Jordan take the time on 18 to wish -- give me best wishes, and certainly Mike, his caddie, speaks volumes as to what he is. He's a phenomenal talent, and I'm telling you right now, a lot of you guys know him, he's a better person than he is golfer.
Q. I was listening to some BBC guys on the radio driving up here today, and they were celebrating the fact that Ollie Schniederjans doesn't have any cap, doesn't have any shades, and you are the sort of picture of in the zone, and I just wonder if golf and golfers could do a little bit more -- I hope you don't mind me saying this, but you're quite an expressive guy without the hat and the shades on, nice smile. Could golfers do a wee bit more to let the public and TV cameras in?
ZACH JOHNSON: Yeah, if you're referring to the fact -- one, I've got a bald spot, so I'm going to keep my head -- (laughter) I know there wasn't much sun out there, but I've got to be cautious of that. Two, when it comes to my sunglasses, I know they're sunglasses, but I wear a lens by Oakley that in conditions like this, if anything it enhances light, and it's better. I wear them at dusk, dawn. I see the greens better. I see the reads better in my opinion, and I mean, I had surgery on my eyes, so from a protection standpoint, I can play without them, but it's very uncomfortable. I'm not the most charismatic, maybe emotional, fun-packed individual on the golf course; I get that.
But I'm just -- I'm so into what I'm trying to do, and my game plan is as such, and I just try to go at it. I mean, I'm going to get the crowd going occasionally. I appreciate them and I appreciate -- we play a great sport, a fun sport, one that provides a lot of drama, and there's an entertainment value there, as to what you're getting at, I think. Fortunately we've got a lot of great personalities in this game and a lot of tremendous talent. You know, more of it? I don't know. I'm not here to say that there needs to be more. I think our game and the players that are playing it are in a great state.
Q. Will you be a poster boy for The Open next year?
ZACH JOHNSON: That's one phrase I've never heard coined with me.
Q. What was going through your mind when Louis lipped out there? You just kind of looked shocked.
ZACH JOHNSON: Well, I was standing there. Honestly, I was reciting some scripture that I have in my book just to keep me in the moment. I was doing it all day, all week, and I was getting prepared for a tee shot on 18. I've got to be honest with you. It wasn't one of those, if he misses or if he makes. I was essentially trying to process if he made it and get ready for 18.
You know, you're talking about a guy that -- he's obviously carried this Jug before. Good chance he could do it again because his game is suited to this, and many more majors. He's younger than I am, too. You never want to see a tournament or a championship, specifically The Open, end on a miss. I don't particularly care to see that, either, as a spectator, but fortunately I made a few prior to that that put me in that position, so I feel blessed.
Q. Congratulations. You used the word humble a few times. Can you describe the why and how you are truly humbled by this more than ever before, and if we told you 15 years ago a Green Jacket and a Claret Jug --
ZACH JOHNSON: I mean, I would have said, whose am I trying on, and whose am I touching? It takes me back to when I turned professional. You could even go back further than that when I was playing as a youngster. These are the things you dream about. These are the things you've worked to get to. I'm humbled because there's a lot of individuals that have put me in this position that trust in me, and I trust in them.
I'm humbled by, I think, the talent that I've been given, and I'm humbled right now because of what's in my lap and the names that are etched on this piece of metal that is very special. It's the who's who in the game. It's the guys that paved the way. It's the individuals that are historic in sports. I've said it in '07. I'm humbled, I'm honored, and it's still beyond surreal. I guess when you have a great team, great things can happen.
Q. Can you talk us through a spike mark incident that was highlighted on the TV, I think it was the 15th?
ZACH JOHNSON: I've got to think about this one; hold on. 18?
ZACH JOHNSON: I'm not familiar. 15. Did I make par there? I don't remember. I've got to think about -- I can't remember a spike mark. I'm sorry.
Q. Augusta National, the Old Course at St. Andrews, can you just give your feelings on winning on two of the greatest venues, and is there any other golf course where you really want to win on now?
ZACH JOHNSON: Yeah, no, I said it in '07, and I continue to say it now with The Open Championship: It's a feat to be invited and an honor to be invited to those tournaments, and to win at Augusta and to win The Open Championship at St. Andrews, it's hard to put it into words, as a golfer, as an athlete, as a guy -- I'm not rich in history, I can tell you that. I'm not a great historian. I know the little things that probably most know, but I do know that this is the birthplace of a great game and a place that has fantastic fans. The venue is just -- for those that love the game, this needs to be on their bucket list and I love playing it.
I've said it many, many, many times: This championship, now it may sound corny because look what I'm holding, but it's probably my most fun golf tournament inside the ropes. Ryder Cup is the Ryder Cup, Augusta is Augusta, I get that. But I just respect and appreciate what this tournament is all about and I could go on and on about that. It's the best. Sorry, the second part of your question. I'm kind of a classic guy. I like the classic ones. I don't need anything that's 8,000 yards; how about that?
Q. Could you tell us a little bit more about the scripture you said you were reciting on the way around, and secondly, how is your hand after high-fiving the crowd?
ZACH JOHNSON: It's good. I could do more if I had to. There was a lot of people out there. That was tremendous. For them to stick around -- there's a lot of people in Louis's corner, obviously, because he's an Open Champion and a phenomenal guy. But for them to stick around was really gracious. What was the first part of your question? Oh, right. I had Psalms 24:17, which was, "Wait for the Lord" -- now you're quizzing me. "Be patient, wait for the Lord. Be courageous, be brave. Yes, wait for the Lord."
Q. (No microphone.)
ZACH JOHNSON: Sure. It's Psalms 24:17, and it's "Be patient, wait for the Lord. Be courageous and brave. Yes, be patient, wait for the Lord." Just little things that help along the way. Gets me down to my priorities.
Q. Congratulations on your fantastic win. Obviously it comes years after what's now your first major win. As the years wore on, did you ever think maybe that's the one major I know might not come, but did you always feel that if you just kept doing what you were doing you would win another major some day?
ZACH JOHNSON: You know, I never really thought I'd win one. Then you get one, and certainly you feel like you can win more, and you want to win more. It drives you, motivates you to practice and get better. I feel like I'm a better player now than I was then. I don't want to sit here and say that I expect to because that couldn't be further from the truth, especially with the individuals -- going back to a one of the questions earlier -- who are playing this game and playing at a high level, but it's a dream realized.
I am a little bit in shock. I think at some point it'll settle in as to what was done. I can tell you the team I have around me has instilled a belief in me that this could happen, and I put myself in position in other major championships to win. Putting yourself in position to win a major championship is hard. It's just -- then when you actually do it, certainly you've got to have a bounce go your way or something, and it went my way, certainly, this week. You've got one guy who wasn't here, unfortunate.
There's not a person that anybody would rather have here than Rory. He's certainly taken the game to newer heights as of late. That's really unfortunate. We all want him back and back healthy more than anything, but the list of guys that are playing at a high level going into it, going into today, you know, I'm very, very pleased.
Q. You talked about the importance of this win, the value of your family in your life. What's it going to mean to you to share that trophy and this victory with your family?
ZACH JOHNSON: It's going to be very special. Very, very special. There's a number of individuals, I wouldn't even know where to start and end, who have been there and allowed me to compete. I really do love golf. There's times when I like it. Certainly there's moments I do love it, but as I've gotten older, I've enjoyed practicing more. I've enjoyed working out more fortunately. I know it doesn't look like it, but I do. I enjoy the gym. And giving me the opportunity to go out and work when the time is right, my kids, my wife, and the rest of my family and friends, you know, I'm very appreciative of that because this isn't by happenstance or luck.
I think quality hard work creates luck certainly. I'm not saying I'm lucky. But yeah, I mean, the support I have back home, the support I have this week from friends and family was tremendous, whether it was a text or a video from my kids or whatever. You know, this is certainly a sharing moment, and fortunately we get to have it for at least a year. I'm ecstatic to share it with them.

Are you in the governor's crosshairs? Does he want to enact policies that you object to? Care to respond?
No problem. It'll cost you just $10,875,011.
That's what Gov. Christie's chief nemesis, the New Jersey Education Association teachers union, spent last year for "communications" lobbying: an anti-Christie campaign that featured TV ads, radio spots, and a plane that flew up and down the Jersey Shore proclaiming Christie's love for millionaires.
The ads are needed, the NJEA says, to counter Christie's free arsenal (his regular national TV interviews, 45-minute news conferences and near-weekly town hall meetings) and the firepower of his allies (multimillion-dollar ad campaigns by a pro-Christie political action committee, supportive talk shows on 101.5 FM, and the state Republican Party, which recently sent two young videographers to NJEA headquarters hoping to catch union bosses doing something unflattering).

Me vs MICHAEL CASSELL Philaboxingreport
This is a Debate im having with this guy.. he posted shit about joe rogan and MMA and it pissed me off.. i will send the rest when we are done i just wanted to send what was said so far..
From: Nikoscrocop
You're a goddamn moron who knows nothing about the sport of MMA your just still on Boxing that is way past its time.. Get on the wagon pal..
From: MICHAEL CASSELL Philaboxingreport
20,000 filled Madison Square Garden to See Cotto fight. I don't do bandwagons…Pal
From: Nikoscrocop
Yea but if you look at the Figures Boxing has been around for YEARS.. and has not gotten any new names all the names in Boxing were already established no new names will be entering boxing MMA is the next step everyone will convert to MMA.. Boxing was a good sport its MMA is going to GROW stronger .your Story was an amazing read don't get me wrong but its just your putting down a Business that you yourself will be working for one day ..UFC 71 had 14,728 in attendance alot of people for a blood event that would never be considerd a sport. 2006 PPV earnings Boxing had their biggest year ever and still didnt come out on top. UFC a Bloodsprt was Number 1 go figure. if you take 5 people off the street and ask them who is the Boxing HW champion of the world and who is the UFC HW champon of the world i bet you 4 out 5 would know Randy Couture over ????
Hes no one spectacular hes a nobody from a shitty website lol i just was bored so went back at him lol its nothiing major lol just standing up for good ol joe..
Joe Rogan and mixed martial arts
Hahaha, He didnt have anything to say after that what a bum
I would be interested to learn more about Michael Cassell. In the same article he attackes Max Kellerman who I believe is one of the best young boxing analysts out there right now.
His remarks about MMA involving laying around on the ground and boxing being more of a "chess match than a death match" show how ignorant he is about the sport of MMA.
He joins MIke Freeman and Jim Lampley on my list of Douchebags
Whats also interesting is his family has of long history of producing boxers. But instead of becoming one he decided to sit behind his keyboard and defend his sports corruptiveness by writing articles being ignorant towards MMA. What a Tool

Former Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Willis W. Berry Jr. on Tuesday waived his right to a preliminary hearing on conflict-of-interest charges for allegedly running a real estate business from his judicial chambers.
Berry, 71, and attorney W. Fred Harrison Jr. appeared briefly before Municipal Judge Patrick F. Dugan.
By his waiving a preliminary hearing, the case against Berry proceeds to trial. Berry's lawyers have said they hoped to negotiate a plea that would end the criminal case, but not endanger Berry's pension.

Rap Industry Recap: July 2015
Business moves quick, and that's no exception for the rap world. From the hottest new signings to movie deals to album pushbacks, the industry is constantly in motion. It can be hard to keep up with at times, so we've consolidated all of the must-hear information from the past month, all in one place. Be on the look out for this monthly recap of news-worthy items you may have missed to stay afloat with the industry.
VH1 Announces Premiere Date For The Game's Dating Show "She's Got Game"
The Game's reality dating show "She's Got Game" is fast approaching, with VH1 setting the premiere for Aug. 10 at 9 p.m. According to VH1, the show's premise is as follows:
The 10 Best Diss Tracks Of The 2010s
Of the many things that old heads will insist "were better back in the day," diss tracks are among the few that most younger rap fans can also agree upon. Even if you didn't live through them, the 2Pac / Biggie, Eazy-E / Dr. Dre and Jay Z / Nas beefs all produced shot-firing tracks that still loom large today-- Notorious' "Who Shot Ya" is still referenced by rappers all of the time, and Nas' "Ether" is now so baked into the foundation of rap that its title is now synonymous with a devastating diss.
The Game Decided To Record Part Of "The Documentary 2" On The Toilet
As if there weren't "shittin' on 'em" puns in the rap world, The Game has truly taken on-record bathroom humor to the next level, recording a verse for his new album, The Documentary 2, on the toilet.
A Complete Timeline Of Lil Wayne & Birdman's Beef
Even as little as nine months ago, no one would have really expected Birdman and Lil Wayne to beef. The two Cash Money titans had a bond that seemed more powerful than your run-of-the-mill rapper/CEO relationship, with their father/son dynamic even birthing an album of its own earlier in the 2000s, and a sense of loyalty that seemed out-of-character for Birdman, at least when you considered his relationships with other Cash Money artists.
Top Tracks: July 6 - July 12
As much as everyone loves to hate Young Thug, all that does his push towards the very top of our Top 100 chart. This week Thugger snatches up the first spot, but before we get to that, let's see what the rest of the top 10 is looking like. 10) Majid Jordan ft. Drake - My Love
The Game Says Dr. Dre Called "The Documentary 2" The Best Rap Album In 5 Years
While The Game has been promising The Documentary 2 for a while, it seems that it's actually on its way for an August release, and the rapper hasn't stopped boasting about on Instagram over the last few days.Most recently, he posted an onslaught of Dr. Dre content, proving he's got the co-sign from the Compton legend. In one clip, Dre excitedly tells the camera "right now, Compton is hip-hop!", while another post quoted super-producer as calling Doc 2 the best hip-hop album in some time.
The Game Facing Felony And Misdemeanor Charges For Punching Off-Duty Cop
The Game appeared in court Monday to face charges related to an incident in which he punched an off-duty cop in a pick-up basketball game; Page Six reports that he was charged with one felony count of making criminal threats and one count of misdemeanor assault and battery.
The Game Ordered To Pay Nanny $200K
The Game has a history of going off on someone in the heat of the moment, and it often results into full-fledged or semi-fledged beefs.
The Game Says "Documentary 2" Is Coming In August, Reveals Huge Producers Involved
It's difficult to do release a worthwhile sequel to a classic album 10 years removed, but it has been done. Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2 is one of the few projects of it's kind to live up to the title, but Game's Documentary 2 seems poised to do the same.
5 Things We Want From The Game's "Documentary 2"
In the past few weeks, we've been stoking our curiosity about rappers' new albums by coming up with wish lists of the various things we'd think would ensure dopeness. We've already dreamed up idealized versions of Childish Gambino's upcoming project and Lil Wayne's quickly approaching Free Weezy Album, and now it's time to tackle a long in-the-works sequel to one of Cali's most celebrated albums of the 2000s.
Wrath Of The Based God: A History Of Lil B's Disses & Curses
Never before has a rapper been as inextricably linked to the NBA playoffs as Lil B has been in 2015. Dishing out warnings, curses and pardons like he's a 14th century pope, the Based God's been central to the conversation around the games, interacting with rappers on Twitter, attending games to strengthen his magic and even popping up on ESPN to clarify just who's on his shit list.
Drake & The Game Shoot New Music Video For "100" In Compton
Drake has been a busy man these past few days. The OVO crooner not only held a massive celebrity-filled party at his L.A. mansion over the weekend, which featured guests Kanye West, Amber Rose, Travis Scott, the Game, French Montana, and more, but he also apparently shot a new music video with the Game for an upcoming song called "100".
Off-Duty Cop Is Suing The Game For $12 Million
Although The Game turned himself in over the punch he threw at an off-duty cop during a March basketball game, it looks like things are far from over. The West Coast rapper was booked earlier this week and already posted his bail of $50,000-- but the cop he punched wants him to shell out a lot more.
The Game Turns Himself In For Basketball Fight Charges
Last week, we reported that The Game had been charged with a felony for "making criminal threats" to an off-duty cop during an incident at a Pro-Am basketball game in March. Yesterday, he was arrested.
Skeme Announces New Album "Ingleworld 2," Shares Tracklist
We've got exciting news for all of you Skeme fans out there today: the L.A. rapper's announced his new album, Ingleworld 2, and shared the star-studded tracklist. Check out the front and back artwork in the gallery above, and take a peek at the tracklist below.
The Game Charged With Felony For Basketball Fight
Back in March, we reported that The Game was involved in a brawl during a Pro-Am basketball game in L.A., allegedly punching an off-duty LAPD officer in the face and threatening to kill him. Now, he's being charged with a felony offense for the incident.
The Game Makes Fun Of Plies On Instagram
We're not sure what started this, but The Game decided to go in on Plies' forehead with an Instagram post late last night. Plies is known for his hilarious Instagram videos, where he takes 15 seconds to rant on random topics (most recently was girls not wearing underwear in the club), and Game assured us he's a fan of those too, but he still couldn't resist making a slew of jokes about Plies' (apparently massive) forehead. Is this why Plies always wears a fitted?
Young Thug Apologizes To The Game, He Responds
While we heard that The Game and Young Thug had put their beef to rest yesterday, most of the news actually came from a third party. Global Gangsters' JoJo Capone played mediator in the official squashing, and supplied most of the information on the negotiations. Meanwhile, Game name-checked Capone, seemingly confirming the end of the feud, but Thugger was strangely silent.
The Game & Young Thug Beef Appears To Be Squashed
With every great rap beef, a mediator is generally needed to cool things down. Usually, T.I. is the man for the job, but either he wasn't available, or there's a new peacemaker in the rap business -- by the name of JoJo Capone. Capone, who is a member of Global Gangsters (and appears to be affiliated with Rich Gang), was able to get both Game and Young Thug on the phone, and apparently defused the heated situation. He's now done an interview with Forbez DVD detailing how exactly he convinced the two rappers to step down from the feud.

Have you hugged your dog today?
We're not recommending you do, and we're not recommending you don't. We're only taking a quick look at the subject because, pure and innocent an act as hugging your dog might seem, it is not without controversy.
Stanley Coren, author of many dog books, stirred up a little of it in his column this month for Psychology Today, citing "new data" that shows getting hugged raises the stress and anxiety levels of dogs, and the possibilities of someone getting bitten.
Some people who have been hugging their dogs for years (and insist their dogs enjoy the affection) found his conclusions laughable, labeled him a party-pooping old fuddy duddy, and said his research techniques were anything but scientific.
We'd agree only with that last part — because Coren's "new data" was gathered by looking at 250 random photos on the Internet of people hugging dogs.
"I can summarize the data quite simply by saying that the results indicated that the Internet contains many pictures of happy people hugging what appear to be unhappy dogs," he wrote.
"In all, 81.6% of the photographs researchers scored showed dogs who were giving off at least one sign of discomfort, stress, or anxiety. Only 7.6% of the photographs could rate as showing dogs that were comfortable with being hugged. The remaining 10.8% of the dogs either were showing neutral or ambiguous responses to this form of physical contact.
Those signs of stress or discomfort include baring of teeth, lowered ears, a dog turning his head away, and a dog who either closes his eyes or shows what is called "half-moon eye" or "whale eye."
That's when you can see the white portion of the eyes.
Here's the problem, though — or one of them, anyway. How does Coren, or anybody else, know that the dogs pictured are stressing out because of the hug. Couldn't it also be a reaction to WHO is hugging them? Or a reaction to the camera?
The simple fact is some dogs like being hugged, some tolerate it, and others don't like it at all.
For the latter group, it might be the amount of pressure applied during a hug that they are reacting to — enough to make them feel restrained. It might be that hugs tend to be spontaneous and come out of nowhere.
Then, too, mood could be a factor. Sometimes dogs, and humans, feel like being hugged and sometimes they don't.
There are just too many variables to make a sweeping conclusion — especially when it's all based on what photos turn up in your Internet search and your subjective interpretation of those photos.
Reading a dog's emotions is tricky enough when you are face to face with one. Doing it from a photo is even more problematic. What for example is this dog thinking?
Hard to read emotions through that many wrinkles, but he seems to be digging it.
We'd agree with the experts who say hugging a dog you don't know or have just met is not a good idea — and that children should be taught that early on.
But beyond that, we'd be hesitant to put the kibosh on dog hugging altogether, especially when it's based on Flickr'ed or Facebook'ed photos posted by dog owners wanting to show how much they love their dogs — whether their dogs like it or not.
In this writer's life, he has been creeped out by some hugs, tolerated others, found some both warm and comforting, and gotten truly enthused by a few.
Probably, some old photos exist of him showing half moon eyes while being squeezed by his big sister.
Does that mean he doesn't like hugs?
Of course not. He just prefers to make the decision on a case by case basis. Dogs should have that freedom, too.

Making the best of a sticky situation
I've got to admit, when I saw the story about how a photographer is turning his photos of dogs eating peanut butter into a book … and calendar … and more, I got a little jelly.
Jelly as in jealous, that is, and not so much of the photographer's skills — but of his entrepreneurial abilitities.
You see, I barely have enough of those to spread on a Saltine.
I can take a decent picture, write a decent story, but when it comes to creating anything you might call cash flow, well, it gets sticky.
Cleveland photographer Greg Murray, on the other hand, is managing to turn a simple idea — a very simple idea — into a potential empire.
A couple of years ago, trying to make a mastiff in his studio have an expression that looked less sad, Murray fed the dog some peanut butter.
"I wanted to make her happy, you know. I wanted to get her to drool and hang her tongue out and nothing was really working," he told TODAY.com.
Now he's turning that concept — dogs eating peanut butter — into a book and calendar, expected to go on sale sometime between this summer and October.
First, to cover his costs, he launched a Kickstarter campaign, setting a goal of $3,750. As of today, it has raked in $14,348.
That's a lot of Jif.
Pledge $40 and you'll get a copy of the calendar when it comes out. Pledge $75 or more and you'll get a softcover copy of the book. Pledge $390 or more and he'll put a photo of your dog eating peanut butter in the book (assuming you bring the dog to Cleveland) and give you a hardcover copy.
Pledge $2,500 and he'll come to your house and take photos of your dog, and you'll get the book, and he'll sign it for you. (I'd don't think he'll wash your windows, or scoop up poop, but you could ask.)
It's really quite an ingenious set up. Publicity about the book — and there has been a lot — boosts his contributions, will add to his book sales, and will likely benefit his photo business.
On his Kickstarter page, Murray does point out that peanut butter can be bad for dogs (if it is a brand that contains Xylitol, which, he points out, Jif does not).
Some of the photos I've seen are quite charming, others strike me as little more than dogs with dirty faces.
To me, they don't quite have the appeal of those Underwater Dogs.
Nevertheless, the news media — always in search of stories allowing them to use the word "adorable" — gobbles it up. His venture has been reported on in, among others, the Huffington Post, BarkPost, Mashable, Fox News, the Daily Mail and the aforementioned Today.com.
On his Kickstarter page, there is a prediction the book will end up on the New York Times Bestseller List — but, keep in mind, that prediction comes from a dog he gave peanut butter to.
So yes, I am experiencing a little envy. Not so much of his idea. More of how he deftly he is turning it into a profitable reality.
But I've decided to squash that negative emotion and devote my energies to a project of my own:
Dogs eating jelly.

An app that's not apt to be very useful
Only in these mega-awesome modern times could a product that really doesn't work well at all become a big hit.
And only in the Internet age could how badly it works be a selling point.
Fetch! is an app that lets you upload a photo of your dog and learn what breed it is, or, judging from my try, what breed it's not.
It was released yesterday just in time for the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, according to promotional material. (Last I checked, competitors at Westminster were pretty sure what breeds their dogs were.)
The app analyzes a photo and makes a guess as to breed — using its artificial intelligence and tons of data stored in clouds.
It's just one of the latest products to hit the market offering to guess everything from your age to your state of mind to the significance of your mustache — all via the power of object recognition, a key facet of artificial intelligence.
It comes as a Web app or download for devices running Apple's iOS, and you can also get an idea of what it's all about at the website what-dog.net.
I generally avoid apps (I'm app-rehensive?) so I went to the website to give it a test. I fed it three different photos of Ace, and it identified him as a Rhodesian Ridgeback each time. (He's not.)
Next I uploaded a photo of myself and was told I was a "Chihuahua … quick witted, loving, wary of strangers and other dogs."
(Strangers and dogs are actually the two things I'm NOT wary of.)
Microsoft is using the device's lack of reliability as a selling point, as if to say, "Well no, it's not really accurate at all, but isn't it fun?"
Seems to be a lot of that going around these days.
As in the series of ads from Time Warner that make light of the sheer hell the company — once, they'd have us believe — put customers through.
As in the direction the news media has been going in ever since it realized there was an Internet.
As in all those overused hooks designed to get us to click a link on the Internet – such as awesome, epic, jaw-dropping, life-changing, pee-your-pants-funny, you're not going to believe what happened next.
With Fetch, in my case, not too much happened next.
But its developers say they expect it to wow the masses.
"There was an interest in creating a framework that would allow you to take a domain – in our case, dogs – and recognize numerous classes, such as breeds. We were interested in enabling an app to allow you to make object recognition extraordinary, fun and surprising," said Mitch Goldberg, one of the Fetch developers
"If you want to take photos of dogs, it will tell you what dog breed it is, if it's one of our supported breeds. If I choose to take a photograph of a flower, it'll say, 'No dogs found! Hmmm… This looks more like…flower?' But if you take a picture of a person, it'll kick into its hidden fun mode. And in a playful way, it'll communicate to you not only what type of dog it thinks you are, but also why."
Follow all that? When the app works, it's an amazing example of artificial intelligence. When it doesn't, don't worry, it's in playful, fun mode.
I sometimes wonder if artificial intelligence is gaining on us, or if we're just getting more stupid.

Forsyth shelter puts down wrong dog
A Forsyth Couny woman went to the animal shelter to pick up her dog — only to learn that, due to mix-up, the five-year-old border collie-Lab mix had been put down.
Maximus, after a second biting incident, was being held for an 8-day quarantine at the Forsyth County Animal Shelter.
When Ashley Burton went to pick him up, shelter staff brought out the wrong dog — and it only got worse after that, Fox 8 reports.
Burton says she went to the shelter July 2 to pick Maximus up after he completed the mandatory quarantine period when a second biting offense occurs.
A staff member pulled up the dog's file, which included a photo of Maximus, and told Burton the dog would be right out.
But the dog that was brought out wasn't Maximus. It was a pit bull mix named Spike.
After a 30-minute wait, Burton was taken to the shelter manager's office, where she was told they could not find her dog.
Burton was then told there was nothing else she could do, and to go home while the shelter investigated.
Back home, her phone rang.
"The manager at the shelter, he said, 'what was supposed to happen to Spike', the dog that they actually brought me, 'is what actually happened to Maximus,'" Burton said. "I said, 'so you mean Maximus was euthanized,' and he said, 'yes, he was euthanized and we are so sorry for your loss.'"
"At some point, either the identifying kennel cards were switched, or the dogs themselves might have been switched," said Tim Jennings, Director of Forsyth County Animal Control.
He said less than clear photos of the dogs, taken at the shelter and placed in their files, may have contributed to the mix-up.
"The photograph is to be the definitive security issue, and in this case we could have done a better job there," he said.
Jennings said a similar incident happened at the shelter in 2014. Burton, he said, has been given a new dog.

Dogs taking pictures of what excites them
On your next family vacation why not let the dog take the photos?
Granted, you'll likely end up with lots of shots of human knees and other dog's butts, but you'd be on the cutting edge, technology-wise.
Nikon Asia has introduced "Heartography," a photographic system that takes photos not just from a dog's perspective, but — via a shutter trigger activated by increases in the dog's heart rate — takes them of those subjects that excite a dog the most.
Heartography consists of a heartbeat monitor, a camera and a special housing that includes a shutter trigger activated when the dog's heart rate rises.
The company video above shows how one dog, Grizzler, became a canine photographer with Nikon's help.
Nikon Asia is billing the device as one that "turns emotions into photographs."
CNET calls it more of a gimmick — a "publicity stunt for the Nikon Coolpix L31" — and predicts it won't catch on.
"The camera and 3D-printed case together are bulky, making the package an unlikely candidate for commercial production," CNET reported. But the system "does give us a set of amusing images showing off all the things that get a dog excited, like people, upset cats and other dogs."

Swiss resort bans selfies with Saint Bernards
The Swiss mountain resort of Zermatt has banned Saint Bernards from being used in photo sessions with tourists.
The town's council came to the decision after complaints by an animal protection organization that the dogs being used by two local businesses were being kept tied up without access to food and water and forced to carry children on their backs.
Posing with the dogs with the snow-cappped Matterhorn in the background has long been popular with tourists — even though St. Bernards are no longer commonly used in rescue operations. Nowadays, Alsatians are more often used to find lost skiers and avalanche survivors.
Still, Saint Bernards — with or without the whiskey barrel around their necks — remain a symbol of Swiss mountain heritage, and getting a photo with them is a must-have souvenir for many a tourist.
Swissinfo reports that at least two entrepreneurs are making a living supplying Saint Bernards for photo ops for tourists.
The Swiss Animal Protection Agency, which recently published a report on the dogs' mistreatment, welcomed the decision ending the practice.
By banning the practice, Zermatt shows that "it loves these animals, and it will put an end to the contemptible and dangerous shows these dogs were made part of by being used as tourist props," the organization said in a statement.
In March, the agency filed a legal complaint against the Saint Bernard owners, claiming that the dogs' living and working conditions were abusive.
Concerns had been raised over the dogs being forced to pose for hours on end without moving and sometimes having to carry children on their backs. The dogs were also tied up for hours, not taken for walks and often went without food or water for long periods, the report stated.
Zermatt Mayor Christophe Buergin said the two local firms providing the service were in talks with tour operators to come up with alternative offerings for visitors to the Matterhorn, such as posing for photos with a person in a Saint Bernard costume, or posing with an alphorn, a traditional herdsman's instrument.
The mayor says the practice of offering photos with Saint Bernards would be phased out by next winter, allowing the companies to honor existing contracts.

Who put a noose around my dog's neck?
A friend recently emailed me this poster she came across online — because the dog with the noose around his neck is the spitting image of my dog, Ace.
Or is it Ace?
For a while, I thought it was my dog, and wondered whether someone had copied one of the many photos of him that have appeared on ohmidog! and elsewhere, and then photoshopped a noose around his neck.
It reminded me of a photo I took of him in Montana about seven years ago, but that was noose-less, and in the middle of a snowstorm (hence the downward cast face). I guess snowflakes can be removed as easily as nooses can be added, though.
I have no problem with the message on the poster, even with its misplaced comma: "Abandoning a dog, means killing it."
That is, usually, the case.
And I have no objection to Ace's image being used for a good cause.
But, if it is my dog, and my picture, someone should have checked with me first before looping a noose around his neck — even if it was done only through photo manipulation.
Is it Ace? I'm not sure. (That's him to the left.)
The dog in the poster looks like him, with his big head, little ears, and high-rise legs. And that seemingly contemplative pose is one Ace strikes frequently.
Then again, the dog in the photo might be just a little grayer around the muzzle than he is.
To try to get to the bottom of it, I turned to tineye.com a reverse image search engine that allows you to play detective on the Internet by uploading a photo and getting a list of websites on which it has appeared.
It, after searching 5.283 billion images in an amazing 0.001 seconds — which is harder than I will ever work — found six results.
Three of them were in English, and two were this French version:
Another one was in Italian, and it was the one that had been on the web the longest.
I clicked on that link and it took me to an Italian government webpage, listing public service campaigns the government had sponsored over the years.
The Ace lookalike appeared in a 2011 campaign aimed at informing the public that abandoning dogs is illegal, and that abandoned dogs usually die.
The slogan,"Chi abbandona un cane lo condanna," means roughly that one who abandons a dog is condemning that dog to death.
The campaign made use of billboards and TV and radio spots, with most of the publicity coming at peak times of holiday travel. As a computer-translated version of the web page explained:
"It was decided to carry out the campaign at this time in view of the fact that the problem of stray dogs is sharpened so evident during the summer, when they touch the peaks of dropouts due to the difficulty of managing the presence of the animal in a recreation area."
I'm sure it makes more sense in the original Italian.
What did come across clearly were the potential punishments for dog abandonment — a year in prison, or a fine of up to 10,000 Euros.
(Not a bad idea for this country to try, given recent instances like that doofus in Denver, or that revolting case in Parker County, Texas.)
If that is Ace helping make the Italian public more aware of the problem, I'm proud to have him serve in that capacity. If it's not, I can only assume it's another Rottweiler-Chow-Akita-pitbull mix).
With Ace being a mix of four breeds (according to DNA tests) it's not as common as it is with purebreds to come across nearly exact replicas of him. But I have seen a few doppelgangers.
One thing I found while researching "DOG, INC.," my book on commercial dog cloning, was that — rather than spending $100,000 to have your dog replicated in a laboratory in South Korea — you can generally find a lookalike in a shelter, if not in your hometown, probably not too far away.
I'm guessing Ace is not the poster boy in this case, and I'm assuming that Italy used an Italian dog for its public service announcement.
As for the Ace photo it reminds me of, it's on my other computer — the one that's not working right now — so I can't call it up and compare. And the post I may have used it in apparently tunneled its way out of the Internet (which is the only way of escaping).
If anyone in Italy knows about the dog in the photo — assuming an English to Italian computer-translation of this account makes any sense at all (and I bet it doesn't) — get in touch with me at email@example.com.

This video, from the American News Project, shows an Islamophobe attacking Muslim supporters of John McCain:
At a John McCain rally in Woodbridge, Virginia, three people handed out "Obama for Change" bumper stickers with the Communist sickle and hammer and the Islamic crescent, saying Obama was a socialist with ties to radical Islam. Several moderate McCain supporters, Muslim and Christian alike, struck back - relentlessly bombarding the group distributing the flyers until they left the premises.
This video is certainly offensive. But it is more limited in its scope—because it's only one hater—from the Ohio voters who called Barack Obama a terrorist and the n-word.
Steve Garfield says that after Rick Sanchez aired this video on CNN, the McCain campaign forbid staff David Zuberi from speaking with him.
