"Keep pressure off Biggar" begs Howley
ESPN Staff
January 31, 2013
Dan Biggar will start at fly-half for Wales © Getty Images
Wales coach Rob Howley has attempted to take his fly-half Dan Biggar out of the firing line by telling the nation's media and press to "keep the pressure off" him.
The Ospreys' No.10 will win only his 12th cap against Ireland at the Millennium Stadium on Saturday after pipping Perpignan's James Hook to the spot vacated by the injured Scarlets playmaker Rhys Priestland.
Howley is wary of the pressure that comes with wearing the Wales No.10 shirt, especially having seen Priestland have to seek professional help from a sports psychologist after struggling to deal with criticism of his performances in the autumn internationals, and is keen to prevent a repeat.
"I think it's important that he (Biggar) gets an opportunity and please can you keep the pressure off him," said Howley after announcing his side for the Cardiff opener. "All our 10s that have played the game, we've seen what's happened over recent times when the No.10 in Wales [has come under pressure] - and it's important that he's given the chance to develop.
"It's a big game for Dan. Obviously he understands that, but [because of] our Welsh culture and the way we talk about our 10s, it's important that Dan is given an opportunity and a chance and he'll certainly be given a chance from the Welsh management. He understands there's competition with James (Hook), but it's a big starting game for Dan and he's been exceptional this week."
Despite his limited international experience, Howley is confident that Biggar can step up to the challenge and said that he has progressed hugely in the past year. "He's a key player and we'll support [him] in everything which we ask him to do," said Howley. "Dan has matured over the last 12 months and he's been continually knocking on the door and we've given him honest feedback in terms of his game management and his running threat and his kicking game.
"And I think from Dan's perspective, I think turning up on Saturday being confident, going out and playing the game as he sees it [are important]. I think that he's got a pretty potent backline to try and get into the game and the game management, and when to bring them into the game and when to kick for field position and when to run. They're the questions that Dan has to answer on Saturday. But it's important that he gets the time."

If a fed Yi is continually backdooring and your team isn't in the lead, your best hope is really to catch him. Ward his likely routes and catch him from ALL directions. Hopefully you have at least one snare/stun type cc (slows don't count).
You can also try to force a teamfight and see if he comes. Burn him down if he does ASAP. Smart Yis won't fall for this though. They'll just wreak your base when you move out.
Senior Member
Hard CC is Yi's biggest weakness. That's why I substitute Zerk Greaves for Merc Treads late game.
If you have no CC, then your best bet is to just stick with the team and focus him. But you're better off yelling at yourself for being on a team with no CC.
Vame Jantt
Thornmail is gonna be completely useless if you're up against an AP Yi of course. Without MR, AP Yi can hit 700+ easily with Alpha Strike, and spam it after kills because of his ult. Just don't feed him in early game and stun/disable him as much as possible.
Thornmail is basically a tool against Yi and Trynd. Randuin's is better in almost all cases.
Having one person grab Foritfy is a way to counter any backdoor champ.
Ok, the thing about thornmail is that people tend to think about it the wrong way. Yes, it gives armor, but what it is is a DAMAGE source against yi. If you haven't stacked hp, especially if the yi has last whisper (or lots of other armor pen) then you are still going to die about as fast if you have thornmail.. you will just have dealt him more damage in the process.
What you should look at before you consider getting thornmail, is how much lifesteal the yi has, how much armor pen the yi has, and how much your character scales with damage items. People often don't realize it, but if you have an Annie, it is SO much better for her to get AP, or Ap and some armor (like zhonyas) than to get thornmail. This is because killing yi is the best way to stop him from dealing damage, especially if he has lifesteal as his only survivability. If you can nuke him down before he can kill you, it is a lot better than dealing him some thornmail damage as he kills you. On the other hand, someone like karthus may be better off with thornmail, because his damage is over time.
In general tho, especially if the yi has lifesteal, you are better off with attack speed slows like randuins and frozen heart
Edit: Also, forgot to mention but guardian angel is especially effective against yi, because he depends very badly on getting the kill to refresh his cooldowns

A War on Gaza's Future? Israeli Assault Leaves 500 Kids Dead, 3,000 Injured, 373,000 Traumatized
As the Israeli offensive in Gaza resumes, we look at the impact the military campaign has had on the children of Gaza. More than 467 Palestinian children have died since July. That is more than the combined number of child fatalities in the two previous conflicts in Gaza. According to the World Health Organization, more than 3,000 children have been injured, of which an estimated 1,000 will suffer from a lifelong disability. The United Nations estimates at least 373,000 children require direct and specialized psychosocial support. And, based on the total number of adults killed, there may be up to 1,500 children orphaned. Gazan children's right to an education has also been severely compromised with at least 25 schools reportedly damaged so severely that they can no longer be used. We speak to Pernille Ironside, chief of UNICEF's Gaza field office.
"There isn't a single family in Gaza who hasn't experienced personally death, injury, the loss of their home, extensive damage, displacement," Ironside says. "The psychological toll that has on a people, it just cannot be overestimated, and especially on children."
"Negro Spring": Ferguson Residents, Friends of Michael Brown Speak Out for Human Rights
As peaceful protests continued Wednesday in Ferguson, Missouri, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder arrived in the city to meet with residents and FBI agents investigating the police shooting of Michael Brown. Democracy Now! traveled to Ferguson this week and visited the site where the 18-year-old Brown was killed. We spoke to young people who live nearby, including some who knew him personally. "He fell on his knees. Like, 'Don't shoot.' [The police officer] shot him anyway in the eye, the head, and four times down here," said one local resident Rico Like. "Hands up, don't shoot is all I got to say. RIP Mike Brown."

Stop the Violence from Ferguson to Gaza: 90-Year-Old Holocaust Survivor Arrested in St. Louis
Just days after her 90th birthday, Holocaust survivor Hedy Epstein was arrested Monday in St. Louis when she was part of a protest outside Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon's office. Epstein was born in Germany and left in 1939 on a Kindertransport to England. Her parents died in Auschwitz. Epstein is a co-founder of the St. Louis Palestine Solidarity Committee and St. Louis branch of Jewish Voice for Peace. In 2011, she was part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla and was a passenger on the U.S.-flagged ship, The Audacity of Hope. Over the years, she has made many solidarity trips to the West Bank. Epstein criticizes the police handling of protests in Ferguson. "It's the same kind of violence that I've observed when I was in the Israeli-occupied Palestine," Epstein says. "I know what it feels like to be discriminated against, to be oppressed, and I can't stand idly by when I see there are problems."
"They Are All Michael Brown": State Senator Defends Protesters Seeking Justice in Police Shooting
During the protests in Ferguson, one of the key voices calling for justice is Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal. She has been in the streets facing tear gas, and on Twitter, where she was highly critical of Gov. Jay Nixon's lack of action days after Michael Brown was killed by police and protests erupted. "The fact that [Gov. Nixon] still has not come to talk to the people who see themselves as Michael Brown at any given time is really a slap in their face," Chappelle-Nadal says. "He only comes around the minority community when it's politically expedient."
"Not Acceptable in a Civilized Society": Pastor on Ferguson Police Targeting Traumatized Youth
As we continue our live broadcast from Ferguson, Missouri, we speak with Michael McBride, pastor of The Way Christian Center in Berkeley, California. He is also national director of the Lifelines for Healing Communities Campaign, part of People Improving Communities through Organizing, or PICO, the largest faith-based network of community organizing in the country. McBride has been in Ferguson working with young people as a peacekeeper and supporting their acts of civil disobedience. He says the protesters are "practicing the legacy of civil rights and resistance" in the United States. "People wondering why folks are so outraged? Because we have children," McBride says. "What parent would not be outraged that their children are being killed by people who we pay with our tax dollars?"
Rubber Bullets, Tear Gas and Jail: Ferguson Police Crack Down on Journalists Covering Protests
Protests over the fatal police shooting of unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown have continued for a 10th night in Ferguson, Missouri. Protesters are calling for the arrest of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, who shot the unarmed teenager six times, including twice in the head. According to The New York Times, Attorney General Eric Holder and top Justice Department officials are weighing whether to open a broader civil rights investigation to look at Ferguson's police practices at large. Meanwhile, the Committee to Protect Journalists has called on the Ferguson Police Department to stop harassing and detaining journalists. At least 11 journalists have been detained while covering the protests sparked by the shooting of Brown. We speak to Ryan Devereaux of The Intercept. On Monday night covering the demonstrations, he was shot by a rubber bullet, arrested and jailed overnight.

"Overpoliced & Underprotected": In Michael Brown Killing, Neglect of Black Communities Laid Bare
As we continue to discuss the developments since the fatal shooting of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by a white police officer, we turn to john a. powell, professor of law, African American studies and ethnic studies at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the director of the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society. "The black community tends be overpoliced and underprotected," powell says. "That's a very serious problem."
St. Louis Activist: Decades After 1968 Urban Uprisings, Key Economic & Race Issues Remain Unresolved
The upheaval in Ferguson, Missouri, has called to mind the racial divisions that split open in the 1960s with a series of uprisings in cities across the country. In 1967, President Lyndon Johnson established what became known as the Kerner Commission to investigate the causes of the unrest. In February 1968, the commission famously concluded: "Our nation is moving toward two societies — one black, one white — separate and unequal." Just a month later, the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. sparked uprisings in more than 100 cities across the United States, including Kansas City, Missouri, where the National Guard was deployed and at least five people were killed. We speak with Jamala Rogers, who was born in Kansas City, Missouri, and witnessed the 1968 uprisings. She recently did a commentary for St. Louis Public Radio titled "Kerner Commission Warning Comes True — Two Societies, Separate and Unequal." Rogers is a founder and past chair of the Organization for Black Struggle in St. Louis, Missouri. She joins us from the streets in Ferguson.
Activist: For a New Generation, Ferguson Marks Historic Nonviolent Resistance to Police Repression
As protests continue in Ferguson, activists are traveling to Missouri to join the movement in solidarity. We speak with one activist who has just arrived to Ferguson from Florida, Phillip Agnew, the executive director of Dream Defenders, a network of youth of color and their allies who engage in nonviolent civil disobedience and civic engagement to bring about social change. "I came here to be part of resistance," Agnew says. "We have not seen a reaction of nonviolent civil disobedience [to] officers of the state like this in my lifetime." Agnew helped organize protests to the 2012 shooting of unarmed, African-American teenager Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida.
Pastor: In Ferguson Police Crackdown, I Need a Gas Mask More Than My Clerical Collar
In Missouri, Ferguson has seen another night of heavy unrest in the ongoing uproar over the fatal police shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown. At least 31 people, including two journalists, were arrested as street clashes erupted between groups of demonstrators and riot police. Police are claiming they came under "heavy gunfire" and that unknown suspects shot two people over the course of the night. The protests came hours after attorneys for the family of Brown held a press conference to discuss the findings of a private autopsy that revealed Brown had been shot six times. The officer who shot Brown, Darren Wilson, remains in hiding and on paid leave. We go to the streets of Ferguson to speak with Rev. Osagyefo Sekou, a pastor from the First Baptist Church in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, who was dispatched to Missouri by the Fellowship of Reconciliation. "It is a tragedy that as a clergyperson I need a tear gas mask more than I need a collar to be able to do the work that I feel called to do," Sekou says.

Ferguson Protests Erupt Near Grave of Ex-Slave Dred Scott, Whose Case Helped Fuel U.S. Civil War
Just miles away from the scene of the protests in Ferguson lies the grave of Dred Scott at the Calvary Cemetery on West Florissant Avenue. Born a slave in Virginia, Scott sued in a St. Louis court for his freedom. The case went to the Supreme Court, resulting in a landmark 1857 decision that African Americans were not citizens of the United States and therefore had no rights to sue in federal courts. The court described blacks as "beings of an inferior order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations, and so far inferior that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect." The Dred Scott Decision is considered by many to be the worst decision in the Supreme Court's history. We discuss the case's significance with Kimberlé Crenshaw, professor of law at UCLA and Columbia University and founder of the African American Policy Forum.
"A Human Rights Crisis": In Unprecedented Move, Amnesty International Sends Monitors to Ferguson
After a week that saw a militarized police crackdown and the imposition of a nighttime curfew, Amnesty International USA has taken an "unprecedented" step by sending a 13-person delegation to monitor the developments in Ferguson, Missouri. It is the first time the Amnesty organization has deployed observers inside the United States. We speak to Steven Hawkins, executive director of Amnesty International USA.
Institutional Racism in Ferguson? First Black School Chief Speaks Out After Forced Resignation
As protests continue in Ferguson, we are joined by Art McCoy, who in 2010 became the first African-American school superintendent of the Ferguson-Florissant School District. But three years later, McCoy was suspended without explanation, setting off a controversy that led to his resignation earlier this year. At the time of his suspension, there were no African Americans on the school board, even though three-quarters of the district's students were black. McCoy is currently an adjunct professor of education at the University of Missouri and is on the board of the Urban League's St. Louis chapter.
St. Louis Pastor: Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson Should Resign
Community outrage grew in Ferguson, Missouri, over the weekend after the police named the officer who shot Michael Brown, Darren Wilson, after withholding his identity for five days. But in naming Wilson, the police also released video footage showing a young man who appeared to be Brown shoplifting a box of cigarillos from a convenience store. The Ferguson police released the video while continuing to withhold all other details about Brown's killing, including how many times he was shot and the incident report from the shooting. In disclosing the video, the police appeared to suggest Brown may have been stopped as a suspect in the shoplifting. But hours later, Ferguson police admitted the officer did not know about the incident and had stopped Brown solely for walking in the middle of the street. Joining us from St. Louis, the Rev. Clinton Stancil, senior pastor at the Wayman AME Church, says Police Chief Tom Jackson should resign. He also says that efforts are being made to galvanize African-American voters in the next election to address concerns over the lack of diversity in the city's elected officials.
Missouri Deploys National Guard to Ferguson; Autopsy Shows Police Shot Michael Brown 6 Times
A private autopsy report has found that Michael Brown — the African-American teenager killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri — was shot at least six times, including twice in the head. Meanwhile, Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has ordered the National Guard into Ferguson after another night of protests over the shootings. In a statement, Nixon said he chose to activate the National Guard because of "deliberate, coordinated and intensifying violent acts." For the past two nights, police have tried to enforce a five-hour curfew starting at midnight. On Sunday night, local police fired tear gas, smoke canisters and rubber bullets in an attempt to clear the streets before the curfew began. Police accused some protesters of throwing Molotov cocktails and trying to overrun the police command center. Earlier in the day on Sunday, 1,300 people packed the Greater Grace Church for a rally attended by Michael Brown's parents. We air an excerpt of speeches made at this event.

As WHO Warns Ebola Death Toll is Underestimated, How Should Global Community Handle Dire Crisis?
The World Health Organization is now saying the number of reported cases and deaths of Ebola in West Africa vastly underestimates the scale of the outbreak. The official death toll from the Ebola outbreak is now at 1,069 since February. Guinea has become the fourth country in Africa to declare a national health emergency as it battles the spread of the deadly Ebola virus in the worst outbreak since the disease was discovered in 1976. The outbreak began in Guinea, where it has killed 377 people. It has since spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, which have all declared a national health emergency. We speak to three guests: Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations; public health law professor Lawrence Gostin of Georgetown University; and medical anthropologist Adia Benton of Brown University, who has conducted research on infectious disease in Sierra Leone over several years.

"I've collected Air Jordan sneakers since 1984; there are 23 different pairs in plastic display cases in the living room. I've also got cereal boxes and movie posters: good design, you see."
Ron Mael, 'It's the season for art-buying, but who would you buy if you could afford it?' The Sunday Times, June 03, 2008
Seeding programmes mean that all but the most keenest and corniest of bloggers and the most undiscerning audiences should care about whether an actor or musician under the age of 35 is wearing Air Jordans. The Hulk Hogan connection is one bad, nostalgic joke, but Ron Mael of Sparks, one of Morrissey's personal favourites, being a Jordan collector is intriguing, unlikely and brilliant — something that seemed to crop up in interviews since the 1990s. Ron in Concord XIs and Chicago Is is something to behold — you might see hilarious dudes in Instagram trousers with the metre-long ankle cuff wearing these classic designs, and cool guys (especially the ones that use hashtags) just aren't cool any more. That's why the uncool guys have become the greatest brand ambassadors — you don't see a Tinker creation and a toothbrush or pencil moustache in tandem too often. This is why Jerry Seinfeld's epic stash became so mythical too — the less likely the connoisseur, the more credible the endorsement, and it gets no whiter than Mael. I want to see more pictorial evidence of this fabled horde of original shoes. (Both images jacked from Getty.)
It took me a while to finally tune in, but I've been enjoying KNOW-WAVE's transmissions with increasing regularity over the last year and their new site makes navigating their world a little easier. Aaron Bondaroff gets things done when it comes to creating outlets for movements and the addition of a KNOW-WAVE UK transmitting from the Gimme 5 offices makes it extra relevant — some shows are pleasantly shambolic and discussion led (it definitely doesn't step on the toes of the excellent NTS when it comes to soundtracking my work day), meaning there's some defiantly British output during the afternoon here. Dependant on the day and time you tune in, you can hear Downtown gossip, rockabilly favourites, some dusty dub rarity, mumbled skate chatter, conversations between legends, Young Thug, obscure house re-edits from personal collections or just a friend of a friend playing whatever iTunes holds. There's a lot of head scratching regarding ways of engaging communities and where things are meant to go, but there ain't nothing to it but to do it. Now they've put out a magazine to bring a sense of permanence and edit to that mass of one-and-a-bit hour world views. Published by OHWOW, issue 01 provides new material and art, plus an interview transcription for some of the best guest spots so far — Piper Marshall with Julian Schnabel back in April, a colossal conversation between Jason Jules and Jazzie B as part of Michael Kopelman's output from June and Kembra Pfahler with Lydia Lunch in July. Even if you've heard it all before, there's plenty of extra bits too.
This SHOWstudio conversation with i-D founder Terry Jones is 52 minutes well spent. It's good to hear Jones discuss his approach to art direction back in his early days at Vogue and any print head out there will get something out of it. This man's publication taught me a ton when I stood and used WH Smiths as a reading room after school and his regulation pair of Chucks was a colossal inspiration on the shoes I choose to wear at least every other day as my age advances. Not a lot of time to talk about much else on here today, but time with Jones is better spent than anything I can muster. On the topic of magazines, this Daily Beast piece on The Source and its inexplicable survival while XXL was almost booted into digital form is a necessary read.
The recent talk of Drake appropriating London slang seems to be wilfully leaving out the fact that he hails from a city which, like this nation's capital, has a substantial Caribbean community that passed on the dialect to subsequent generations. The whole Stone Island connection is still a mystery to me*, but I asked that question a couple of years ago. Another YouTube miracle occurred recently when Genie Madahar uploaded Fab Five Freddy's visit to Sting 92 — something that became almost mythological in conversations with a friend for an interview with Supercat as well as a rare chat with the oft-discussed man like Dominick. As a white Londoner, Dominic Kenny was a curious case in outsider acceptance, a close friend of Paul Simenon, taking his love of dancehall to Jamaica as a journalist and becoming a DJ under the Dominick name. There's a great piece on him here from 2007 here where he tell his story — another case study in this country's connection to the culture — and the importance of black music, as well as its pillaging and dilution at the hands of white industry folks.
Dominick put out a few memorable records — Cockney & Yardie with Peter Metro in 1987 that follows a similar path to Smiley Culture's (RIP) seminal Cockney Translation (the Ebonics of its time), complete with live performances where he looks like a taxi driver who seems to have stumbled onstage. Dominick would also record an un-PC track where he'd strenuously deny favouring Boy George over the Fresh Riddim (plus another track called No Shirt Lifter) as part of his self-titled, Sly and Robbie produced debut album — to end up getting produced by both them King Jammy was no mean feat. A second album, Ready for Dominick, followed in 1988 (the same year that he took to the stage with BDP in NYC on Christmas day), before this occasionally Troop-clad whiteboy with skills seemed to vanish. A testament to the power of putting in work and heading right to the centre of the action rather than merely covering it from the distance of a MacBook screen, it's a shame that the book he promised years ago hasn't manifested and it's equally sad that the Junior Reid produced third LP mentioned in the Yo! MTV Raps piece that was set for a 1993 release never dropped either. Respect to Dominick for becoming part of the thing he loved**.
*Glenn just answered the Drake SI mystery by explaining the whole unpaid stylist scandal/Nepenthes/SI connection to me.
**Kish reminded me that there's a follow-up to this story. Here's Dominick on a 1994 Underdog remix of a Sabres of Paradise track. In 1999, Apeman Records and Apeman magazine were launched by Dominic Kenny, who'd already got connections to Mo'Wax and Major Force. Those who hoarded cut and paste records or were fans of Spine Magazine back in the day will be aware of some of the label's output from the likes of DJ Bombjack.
I hoard books on certain subjects. Inevitably, I've amassed an amount of sportswear-related publications that's a little embarrassing. Being a nerd when it comes to that subject I'd found myself discussing the lack of a solid tome on the subject of Reebok. After all, the brand that Joseph William Foster created was one that led during a lion's share of the 1980s, and its cross trainers and basketball shoes circa 1987 were expensive status symbols that pushed me into the industry I'm in right now. Having missed out on the recent London Reebok exhibition, I assumed I missed out on something decent, but the brand book they put together with Tangent Design is excellent. Discussing everything that makes the brand interesting, I haven't seen a lot of coverage on this part of the project, so I expected it to be underwhelming, but at 206 pages, it's a good accompaniment to the vast 2012 adidas book (a serious precedent, that like this one, seemed to be strictly promo-only) and necessary if you geek out over old stuff and obscure logos. I'm jealous that I never wrote the 'FOR THE MOTIONALLY UNSTABLE…' ad too. I've never necessarily associated Reebok with blue suede, but it makes for a nice cover fabric too. I'm guessing that, as is the case with several similar projects, image rights, names and all the other stuff that can slow a project down, means that this one is destined to be strictly promo. That means that there's a decent book for all the key brands out there now, though I'd happily pay for a 300+ page history of Troop's rise and rumour-led fall.
Malcolm McLaren is a polarising figure for his aptitude for making money out of any craze (I still want to see footage of him getting booed in NYC for the moment when he stood on stage and supposedly took credit for inventing hip-hop) and even having a damned good go at claiming genres until late in his life (remember his media appearances to push his discovery of 'chip music' in 2004?). But I remain a fan of a fair chunk of his life's work (the whole Chicken saga falls somewhere between proto-Brass Eye satire and truly sociopathic behaviour) and see it echoed time and time again in quick thinking counter moves like this or hip-hop bosses and their frequent acts of cold-blooded hustle. During the early 1980s, he was such a bizarre, self-promoting character, that every interview I've seen with McLaren has been magnetic. A new YouTube channel has just upped a one-hour style history lesson with the man from late 1984. Looking like some publicity-conjuring pixie in his pink polo neck, hiked-up trousers and loafers, and setting off the conversation with a bizarre waywardness in his opening pose before he seems to regain some interest, it's worth watching, taken from footage shot for an episode of the long-gone Rock Influence TV show. After this one, I recommend watching the excellent footage of fans in the parking lot before Lynyrd Skynyrd's December 31 1990 New Years Eve concert in San Francisco. God bless the internet.
I sometimes do interviews, despite not knowing why anyone would interview me (it's meant to be the other way around) and my respect for Silas and the Soulland squad is colossal that when he dropped me a mail about a Q&A, I couldn't turn them down. So here's a link to one of my favourite clothing brands out there interrogating me on the subject of shoes, collaborations and related stuff on their very beautiful website. Because of my camera-shy ways, the ultra talented Sine Jensen drew me hiding behind an iPhone and a spaniel, which might be my favourite thing of 2014 thus far. Shouts to Nikolaj Hansson. That intro makes me seem a lot more important than I actually am (though they're right about me considering myself a fanboy) — I never co-founded CT, contrary to internet rumour. I just worked for them. If I didn't deny that it would undermine the work of Russ/Steve/the two Christophers and the rest of those OGs. Trust me, if I was the co-founder, it would be looking a lot healthier right now, but I'm just a drone. Shouts to all at Soulland — Danish don-dadas who constantly inspire me with absolutely everything they do.

Lakers news: Pau Gasol will have offseason surgery on knees
- Updated: May 9, 2013
Los Angeles Lakers big man Pau Gasol will undergo a knee procedure designed to alleviate tendonitis in both of his knees, the team announced on Thursday.
The operation is called the FAST Technique procedure, in which a probe is inserted into the knee and uses ultrasonic energy to isolate scar tissue without damaging any healthy matter. Once the procedure is complete, the medical staff will announce a timetable for recovery, though such a minor procedure is not expected to put his status for next season in any jeopardy.
The four-time All-Star struggled both on the floor and with regard to injuries in 2012-13, and played in just 49 games during the regular season, starting 42. In addition to falling out of favor with head coach Mike D'Antoni and losing his spot in the starting rotation to a resurgent Earl Clark, Gasol suffered through plantar fasciitis, a painful injury in his foot that severely limited his mobility and athleticism.
Among the most tradable assets this offseason is Gasol's $19 million expiring salary set to come off the books in 2014. It stands to reason that if the Lakers can get any real value in return without taking on any long-term salary, then they may make a move to acquire a more athletic four to accommodate D'Antoni's system. His health will play a big factor in that, so the injury concerns, though minor, are worth following this offseason.

CASIOâS LAMPFREE® PROJECTORS ILLUMINATE âGâ BY GUESS STORES NATIONWIDE
 CASIOâS LAMPFREE® PROJECTORS ILLUMINATE âGâ BY GUESS STORES NATIONWIDE
âGâ By Guess, a retail store founded in 2007 by the Marciano brothers, wanted to upgrade and showcase its existing visual technology to further enhance the storeâs overall design. To do so, âGâ By Guess partnered with Pro-Motion Technology Group, the leading single-source provider of integrated technology specializing in commercial digital solutions, to transform its storesâ atmosphere. To date, âGâ By Guess has installed more than 100 projectors in various store locations, including Casioâs Pro XJ-H1700, and plans to purchase additional projectors for additional locations across the United States throughout the year.
âOur company spent a lot of time researching the best projection technology for âGâ By Guess and found that Casioâs projectors are unmatched in terms of their long lifespan, lightweight design and overall total cost of ownership,â said Chris Thomas, project manager at Pro-Motion Technology Group. âWe recommended Casioâs Pro projectors for âGâ By Guess and they have been well worth the investment.â
âGâ By Guess chose Casioâs projectors specifically because of the LampFree® technology and state-of-the-art LASER & LED Hybrid Light Source. Casio projectors provide users with a 20,000 hour estimated lifespan, eliminating the need for expensive projection lamps that often need replacement and can cost almost as much as the original projector unit over one year. These units are also mercury-free, eliminating concerns for the proper disposal of used lamps and mercury pollution.
âThe Casio projectors we installed have met needs beyond our expectations. Originally, âGâ By Guess was looking for something to complement its store design and overall, existing visual experience and thought a projector would be a great fit,â said Thomas. âIâve heard nothing but positive feedback from âGâ By Guessâ in-store employees since we began installing the Casio projectors. We can see the difference in terms of brightness and clarity.â
Throughout many âGâ By Guess locations, Casio projectors are mounted on the ceilings, and project images and music videos on the wall behind the cash registers. Each store location can run video feed up to 12-14 hours per day and can shut the units down easily without worrying about additional setup time. The next day when the power is turned back on, the projectors retain memory of the predetermined settings and cut down on calibration time. Also, since the projectors use Laser & LEDs it only takes eight seconds from power on to reach full brightness.
âCasio is proud to provide its state-of-the-art projectors to âGâ By Guess store locations,â said Matt Mustachio, general manager of Casioâs Business Projector Division. âWe know our units will reduce operating costs for the stores and create an inviting digital atmosphere for customers. We look forward to building upon our relationship with âGâ By Guess as they continue to upgrade locations nationwide.â

Roger - F**k a Feature
Artist: Roger
Producer: LJC
Album: Listen to Roger
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 7 votes )
In one of the most famous lines of his magnum opus, "Song of Myself," the great American poet Walt Whitman announces, "I am large, I contain multitudes." Those lines could just as easily have been written about Rhode Island rhymesayer Roger, who reveals on new video single F**k a Feature (a Booth-exclusive world premiere) that he's had at least two other rappers trapped inside his body all along, just waiting for their opportunity to rock the mic. Frequent Jon Hope collaborator LJC handles production duties, serving up a leisurely keyboard loop to back the artist formerly known as Mista Mista as he debuts a couple of his alter egos: one a lyrical bruiser with a diabolical, baritone flow à la Tyler the Creator and the other a reedy Southern spitter. On the back, he transforms back into the rapper we know and love to offer a few final thoughts on the state of the industry. Though Nice Guys Finish Last still lacks a drop date, those impressed by this schizoid banger can click here to peep its official visuals, directed by John Greene of GREENE FILMS.

State Rep. Mike McGeehan announced on Friday that he will not seek another term in 2014.
State Rep. Ed Neilson joined members of the 8th Police District Advisory Council recently to recognize five members of the district as Officers of the Year. The honorees were (front, from left) Rosario Capaccio of 3-Squad, James Boccalupo of 1-Squad, Richard Greger of 2-Squad, Mark Mazzoni of 5-Squad and Dan Richardson of 5-Squad. Also pictured are (back, from left) Police Chaplain Nancy Waidel, Police Chaplain Bill Parks, Neilson, Capt. Len Ditchkofsky and 8th PDAC Chairman Harry Sonntag. According to Ditchkofsky, the district commander, the officers were selected for their "consistent service" to the district, their excellent attendance record and teamwork.
An in-house announcement last week that the company that owns the old Kraft plant at Byberry and the Boulevard was considering closing it sent city and state officials scrambling to find out what they could do to save the large bakery's almost 300 union jobs and keep Oreos baking in the Northeast.

- Studio: Paramount Pictures
- Release Date: Jun 6, 2008
- Starring: Angelina Jolie, Ian McShane, Jack Black
- Summary: Enthusiastic, big and a little clumsy, Po is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around…which doesn't exactly come in handy while working every day in his family's noodle shop. Unexpectedly chosen to fulfill an ancient prophecy, Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols—the legendary fighters Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey—under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Can he turn his dreams of becoming a Kung Fu master into reality? Po puts his heart-and his girth-into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weaknesses turn out to be his greatest strengths. (Dreamworks)… Expand

Light and goofy, yet the fight scenes, which are the heart of the film, are lickety-split mad fun.
The new picture provides a master coursed in cunning visual art and ultra-satisfying entertainment.
It's not an instant classic, but it's imaginatively drawn, full of charming characters, alive with action sequences and blissfully free of the snickering scatology and endless pop-culture references.
Beautifully animated, the celebrity voice performances are terrific, and the action sequences negotiate the fine line between being physically convincing and becoming too intense for the young children.
Tongue-in-cheek dialogue, inventive slapstick and fight sequences, and luminous production design make this a treat.

IrinaB.Mar 4, 2009I loved Kung Fu Panda. I am an old school martial arts fanatic--used to watch the movies with my dad. This meets all of the criteria of a martial arts film like Lord of the Wu tang (unlikely hero becomes Kung Fu Master by chance), has the visuals of a "Hero" or "Crouching Tiger", and has the heart of Disney (yes, I said it). When I went to the theater to see it all of the children there loved it and my two reasons for living came out wanting to learn Kung Fu. I think the haters out there just don't like or "get" Jack Black, because really I see no other reason they could dislike this film.… Expand

Arizona State Sun Devils
The Pulse: Fans expecting 8 or 9 Arizona State wins in 2014
Every day, we at ArizonaSports.com ask our readers a question. It's the Sanderson Ford Poll Question of the Day, and it can be found midway down the right side of our home page.
On Tuesday, July 22, we asked how many wins the Arizona State football team will rack up in 2014.
Our readers seemed pretty optimistic, as 53 percent (216 total) of the 408 voters said the Sun Devils will win eight or nine contests, and another 31 percent (125 votes) answered 10 or more victories.
Forty-five people (11 percent) said Todd Graham's squad will claim six or seven victories, while eight voters (2 percent) said "4-5 wins" and 14 others (3 percent) said ASU will win fewer than four games. (Wildcats fans?)
Arizona State is scheduled for 12 regular season games, and of course they could add up to a couple more if they make it to the Pac-12 Championship again and a bowl game.
ASU started out 10-2 last season before losing to Stanford in the conference championship game and then in the Holiday Bowl to Texas Tech.
If the program wants to repeat or better its success from 2013, the right pieces are in place. While standouts like Marion Grice, Will Sutton, Carl Bradford and Chris Coyle have moved on, the Sun Devils will benefit from the returns of quarterback Taylor Kelly, running back D.J. Foster, wide receiver Jaelen Strong and defensive lineman Jaxon Hood, among others. Graham returns for his third season in Tempe, and he has led the program to an 18-9 (.667) record thus far.

Manners of the Heart® (MOH), a community-based organization headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is dedicated to transforming homes, schools and communities through instructional programs designed to build character, strengthen morals, and increase respectfulness among children and adults. This character education program, referred to as "Heart Education," offers resources for children, parents, teachers and business professionals. MOH provides classroom application-level learning through our own evidence-based curriculum for students and professional instruction through seminars, workshops and conferences for adults.
We've been doing the hard work this month of looking in our own hearts to see what is there—gratitude or greed. When we get our hearts in the right place, instilling gratitude in the hearts of our children isn't so difficult. It just takes the resolve to carry through on our desire to raise children with grateful hearts.
When my sons were young, every time we drove through the bank the teller offered them a lollipop. Rather than allowing the treat just because it was offered, more times than not, I said "Thank you, but not today." After a while, the boys would join in unison, "No thank you, not today." The boys had learned that the lollipop was a treat, not a "right."
On the occasions that I said, "Thank you so much that would be a real treat" to the teller's offer, the boys would squeal with joy as they enjoyed every lick of their lollipops.
Here are a few helpful tips on how to instill gratitude in the hearts of your children:
• Don't allow your children to have something every time it's offered. This creates a sense of entitlement and expectation that actually robs your children of joy!
• Encourage the simple pleasures:
o Make homemade gifts for each other.
o Play games rather than rent a movie.
o Spend the night in the backyard as an adventure at home.
• As your children grow older, expect them to purchase their "wants" with extra money that they earn for doing chores. This not only instills gratitude, but also builds self-respect.
• Teach your children to write thank you notes. Beginning at the age of three, your children can "draw" thank you notes. As soon as they are able, they need to write their own. A simple thank you note from a child warms the heart of the recipient and teaches your child the importance of saying thank you.
• Try to not let a day pass by without asking your children (from toddlers to teens) to name at least two things they appreciated during the day.
• Wherever you go, point out the good you see people doing. Express your thanks to those who are serving you and teach your children to do the same. In restaurants, the teller at the bank, the checker at the grocery…everywhere you go offer your gratitude for the little things people do.
How do you instill gratitude in the hearts of your children? Would you share ideas for the rest of us to follow?
From our hearts to yours,

NEW ORLEANS - JANUARY 16: Larry Fitzgerald #11 of the Arizona Cardinals looks on against the New Orleans Saints during the NFC Divisional Playoff Game at Louisana Superdome on January 16, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Saints won 45-14. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)
Larry Fitzgerald's dad went on a Twitter rant the other day and made it clear that he believes the Arizona Cardinals have thrown in the towel on this season. During an interview with Jim Gray on Dial Global Sports, Fitzgerald said that he doesn't agree with his father's opinion. "I'm in a unique situation with my father being a media member," Fitzgerald said, via ProFootballTalk.com. "He's making an observation based on what he sees and what he feels and that's his opinion. I don't share in those same feelings and that's where I stand on that." Fitzgerald shot down any idea that the Cardinals have thrown in the towel. "Never. We're professionals. That will never happen," Fitzgerald said. "We're going to continue to play. We're going to continue to practice. We're going to continue to prepare every week like we would if we had won nine games in a row. That's not going to change. We're not going to quit."
