Hazmat crews called to Liberty neighborhood
Bottles filled with household chemicals
The Kansas City Fire Department's hazardous materials crews were called to a Liberty neighborhood Monday afternoon after several bottles containing an unknown liquid were found.
Liberty police said a resident called them after finding several bottles in his front yard in the 1000 block of Aspen Drive.
"It was like a chalky fluid substance with, like, aluminum foil floating in the them," said homeowner Phil Wilt.
He said he first noticed them this morning but checked again when he came back on his lunch break. He said the substance inside the bottles was fizzing, reacting to the foil in the bottle.
The hazardous materials experts brought soda ash to make sure the contents were not explosive.
"The chemical itself was probably some type of acid or whatever and they use the soda ash to neutralize the acid," said assistant chief Dustin Paddack of the Liberty Fire Department. "It makes the chemicals safe."
Fire department officials said the liquids tested as household chemicals.
Police said they will investigate to see who put the bottles there and why.
Wilt said he was told that water bottle bombs have become more common. He said he doesn't have any known enemies and doesn't know why anyone might target his home.
Police and firefighters closed off the area around the house but never ordered an evacuation.

READ about Piers Morgan's long career in journalism here.
Less than a week since helping the Miami Heat to a second straight NBA Title, on Wednesday evening Chris Bosh joined Piers Morgan, sharing some insight into the pressures and challenges that face a team during the playoffs.
"What do you think it takes when you literally, ironically get the 'heat?'" asked the "Piers Morgan Live" host. "What does it take for you guys...to be a champion?"
"Oh boy. I think just think of the hardest thing you'll probably have to do, taking those challenges and actually beating them. You know, we faced a lot of adversity during the playoffs," said one-third of Miami's famed "Big Three." "Especially everybody saw in game six. I think that was kind of the tipping point of the whole thing."
After forcing overtime, and ultimately beating the San Antonio Spurs in the sixth game of the NBA Finals, Bosh revealed that it was notably challenging to accurately recollect what exactly had transpired with their season hanging in the balance:
"I walked past LeBron [James,] and we were trying to remember what sequence of the game happened, and how we were able to get to that last point," said Bosh, referring to a contest which saw Ray Allen bury a three-pointer in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter to force overtime. "We could not remember. It was a very blurry situation."
Miami went on to outscore San Antonio 8-5 in the extra period, thus tying the series at three, and forcing a winner-take-all seventh game, which the Heat won to capture a second straight championship.
Watch the clip for more of Morgan's interview with Bosh, an eight-time All-Star. And for the next edition of "Piers Morgan Live," watch CNN every night at 9.
» Follow "Piers Morgan Live" on Twitter
» Follow "Piers Morgan Live" on Instagram
It's remarkable to visit this web site and reading the views of all colleagues concerning this paragraph, while I am also keen of getting knowledge.
When he was finally liberated to join a contender, he became something of a fall guy when he didn t immediately gel with LeBron and the Cavs. Like Chris Bosh, Love heard it for his decrease in statistical output by joining a team with other stars, and like Bosh, Love figures to be viewed in a better light now that he s got a ring.

This test measures the amount of the protein albumin in your blood.
Your liver makes albumin. Albumin carries substances such as hormones, medicines, and enzymes throughout your body.
This test can help diagnose, evaluate, and watch kidney and liver conditions. When your kidneys start to fail, albumin starts to leak into your urine. This causes a low albumin level in your blood.
You may have this test if your healthcare provider suspects that you have liver or kidney disease. Symptoms of these diseases include:
Yellowish skin (jaundice)
Tiredness (fatigue)
Weight loss
Vomiting and diarrhea
Dark urine or gray, pale stools
Pain below the right ribs, including the stomach area
Tenderness below your right ribs
Other symptoms of kidney disease include:
Swelling of your stomach and legs or around your eyes
Shortness of breath
Frequent need to urinate at night
Itchy skin
In men, an inability to get or maintain an erection (erectile dysfunction)
You may also have this test if you are on dialysis to help your healthcare provider find out how well treatment is working.
You may also have this test to check your nutritional status.
Your healthcare provider may also order tests to measure other proteins in your blood. These include:
Total protein
Urine protein electrophoresis
Serum protein electrophoresis
Your healthcare provider may also test your urine for albumin.
Your healthcare provider might also order tests that find what's causing inflammation if your blood albumin is low. These tests include:
C-reactive protein, or CRP
Alpha-1 acid
Glycoprotein, or a1-AG
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your healthcare provider.
Results are given in grams per deciliter (g/dL). A normal albumin range is 3.4 to 5.4 g/dL.
If you have a lower albumin level, you may have malnutrition. It can also mean that you have liver disease or an inflammatory disease.
Higher albumin levels may be caused by acute infections, burns, and stress from surgery or a heart attack.
The test requires a blood sample, which is drawn through a needle from a vein in your arm.
Taking a blood sample with a needle carries risks that include bleeding, infection, bruising, or feeling dizzy. When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
Being dehydrated can cause higher albumin levels. Certain medicines can raise your albumin levels. These include insulin, steroids, and hormones.
If you are pregnant, your albumin levels may be lower. Medicines such as birth control pills may also lower your albumin levels.
You don't need to prepare for this test. But be sure your healthcare provider knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

The NHL playoffs have been their usual chaotic selves so far, with dashes of weird discipline and whatever the hell the Penguins-Flyers series is thrown in for good measure. There are just two impending sweeps: Penguins-Flyers, and Kings-Canucks. We can understand why the Flyers have spanked the Pens—Marc-Andre Fleury has allowed 17 goals on 84 shots. But how is it that the eighth-seeded Kings are on the brink of sweeping the Presidents'-Trophy-winning Canucks?
Perhaps this is too simple a conclusion, but it seems that everything is going right for the Kings. Dustin Brown has pushed everyone around the ice, and leads the playoffs in goals scored. Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams are playmaking the hell out of things. Mike Richards and Jeff Carter are skating around, as they do, and attacking credibly. Even noted pancake lover Dustin Penner has two points. On defense, for some reason, Willie Mitchell has decided to start playing like Chris Pronger. He's shut everyone down. And he plays alongside Drew Doughty, who's been steady and aggressive and characteristically swell at moving the puck. (Young Slava Voynov might be even better.)
Everyone on the Kings hits and pressures, and Vancouver hasn't had an answer. And all of that is to say nothing of goalie Jonathan Quick, who has remained the best thing about the Kings, their core. Quick was cartoonishly good this season. Among full-time starters (which is to say not Brian Elliott, Jaroslav Halak, or Cory Schneider), Quick had the best goals-against average, fell just short of the best save percentage, and led the league in shutouts. In the playoffs, he's been similarly sharp, allowing only four goals over three games, despite facing a ton of shots. He's prowling, spry, and always low to the ground, reminiscent of Miikka Kiprusoff, another Darryl-Sutter-coached goalie who dominated the playoffs eight years ago.
Which leads us to wonder: can anyone stop the Kings? It's not as though their to-date success is a fluke—they have a very good roster and a very good coach. Why shouldn't everything go right?
They should outscore the Blues, their likely next-round opponent. They have the firepower to match Chicago but much better goaltending, and they best Phoenix in every department. Nashville? Detroit? Please. If the Kings continue playing this way, they're headed to the final, just like Sutter's Cinderella Flames of 2004. Or, you know, they'll lose in the next round. It's hockey.

"It was complete sexual anarchy. You couldn't tell the men from the women. It was really new at the time, and it still would be new."
-- John Waters, San Francisco Chronicle, 2002
It can be said that we San Franciscans inherited our gender-bending theatricality from The Cockettes, the flamboyant ensemble of late-'60's SF hippies -- gay, straight, and undecided -- who performed in glittery drag of all sorts in a series of legendary, over-the-top midnight musicals at the Palace Theater in North Beach. Founded by Hibiscus (real name, George Harris, Jr.) in 1969, the troupe enacted their own outrageous counter-culture parodies of show tunes (and some originals) and gained an underground cult following that eventually led to mainstream exposure. With titles like Gone With the Showboat to Oklahoma, Hell's Harlots, and Pearls over Shanghai, these extravaganzas featured elaborate costumes, rebellious sexuality, and exuberant chaos. They were soon pinned as the cutting edge of Freak Theatre and appeared in Rolling Stone, Paris Match, and Playboy. The group disbanded in 1972, after attempting a tour to New York.

Eugène Atget (French: ; 12 February 1857 – 4 August 1927) was a French flâneur[1] and a pioneer of documentary photography, noted for his determination to document all of the architecture and street scenes of Paris before their disappearance to modernization.[1] Most of his photographs were first published by Berenice Abbott after his death.[2] An inspiration for the surrealists and other artists, his genius was only recognized by a handful of young artists in the last two years of his life, and he did not live to see the wide acclaim his work would eventually receive.[2]
Jean-Eugène-Auguste Atget was born 12 February 1857 in Libourne. His father, carriage builder Jean-Eugène Atget, died in 1862, and his mother, Clara-Adeline Atget née Hourlier died shortly after. He was brought up by his maternal grandparents in Bordeaux and after finishing secondary education joined the merchant navy.[3][4]
Atget moved to Paris in 1878. He failed the entrance exam for acting class but was admitted when he had a second try. Because he was drafted for military service he could attend class only part-time, and he was expelled from drama school.[3][4]
Still living in Paris,[5] he became an actor with a travelling group, performing in the Paris suburbs and the provinces. He met actress Valentine Delafosse Compagnon, who became his companion until her death. He gave up acting because of an infection of his vocal cords in 1887, moved to the provinces and took up painting without success. His first photographs, of Amiens and Beauvais, date from 1888.[3][4]
In 1890, Atget moved back to Paris[6] and became a professional photographer, supplying documents for artists: studies for painters, architects, and stage designers.[3][4]
Starting in 1898, institutions such as the Musée Carnavalet and the Bibliothèque historique de la ville de Paris bought his photographs. The latter commissioned him ca. 1906 to systematically photograph old buildings in Paris. In 1899 he moved to Montparnasse.[3][7]
While being a photographer Atget still also called himself an actor, giving lectures and readings.[3]
During World War I Eugène Atget temporarily stored his archives in his basement for safekeeping and almost completely gave up photography. Valentine's son Léon was killed at the front.[3]
In 1920–21, he sold thousands of his negatives to institutions. Financially independent, he took up photographing the parks of Versailles, Saint-Cloud and Sceaux and produced a series of photographs of prostitutes.[3]
Berenice Abbott visited Atget in 1925, bought some of his photographs, and tried to interest other artists in his work.[3]
In 1926, Valentine died,[3] and Man Ray published several of Atget's photographs in la Révolution surréaliste.[3][4]
Abbott took Atget's portrait in 1927. Eugène Atget died 4 August 1927 in Paris.[3][4]
Atget took up photography in the late 1880s, around the time that photography was experiencing unprecedented expansion in both commercial and amateur fields.[8] He sold photos of landscapes, flowers, and other pleasantries to other artists. It was not until 1897 that Atget started a project he would continue for the rest of his life—his Old Paris collection.
Atget photographed Paris with a large-format wooden bellows camera with a rapid rectilinear lens. The images were exposed and developed as 18x24cm glass dry plates.
Between 1897 and 1927 Atget captured the old Paris in his pictures. His photographs show the city in its various facets: narrow lanes and courtyards in the historic city center with its old buildings, of which some were soon to be demolished, magnificent palaces from before World War II, bridges and quays on the banks of the Seine, and shops with their window displays. He photographed stairwells and architectural details on the façades and took pictures of the interiors of apartments. His interest also extended to the environs of Paris.
In addition to architecture and the urban environment, he also photographed street-hawkers, small tradesmen, rag collectors and prostitutes, as well as fairs and popular amusements in the various districts. The outlying districts and peripheral areas, in which the poor and homeless sought shelter, also furnished him with pictorial subjects.
Distinguishing characteristics of Atget's photography include a wispy, drawn-out sense of light due to his long exposures, a fairly wide view that suggested space and ambiance more than surface detail, and an intentionally limited range of scenes avoiding the bustling modern Paris that was often around the corner from the nostalgia-steeped nooks he preferred. The emptiness of most of his streets and the sometimes blurred figures in those with people are partly due to his already antiquated technique, including extended exposure times which required that many of his images be made in the early morning hours before pedestrians and traffic appeared.
The mechanical vignetting often seen at some corners of his photographs is due to his having repositioned the lens relative to the plate on the camera—exploiting one of the features of bellows view cameras as a way to correct perspective and control the image. He often said, "I have done little justice to the Great City of Paris", as a comment on his career.
Atget's photographs attracted the attention of artists such as Man Ray, André Derain, Henri Matisse and Picasso in the 1920s. Man Ray not only purchased a number of Atget's photographs but used During the Eclipse for the cover of his surrealist magazine la Révolution surréaliste. When he asked Atget if he could use his photo Atget said: "Don't put my name on it. These are simply documents I make." Man Ray said that Atget's pictures of staircases, doorways, ragpickers, and especially those with window reflections and mannequins, had a Dada or Surrealist quality about them. Man Ray was a neighbor of Atget—they lived on the same street—and offered to lend him his modern camera, but Atget refused the offer, preferring to use the older techniques.[9]
His death went largely unnoticed at the time outside the circle of curators who had bought his albums and kept them interred, mostly unseen. "This enormous artistic and documentary collection is now finished", he wrote of his life's work in 1920, though he did not stop working at this point.
He will be remembered as an urbanist historian, a genuine romanticist, a lover of Paris, a Balzac of the camera, from whose work we can weave a large tapestry of French civilization.
— Berenice Abbott[10]
Atget created a tremendous photographic record of the look and feel of nineteenth-century Paris just as it was being dramatically transformed by modernization,[11] and its buildings were being systematically demolished.[12]
Atget had published almost no work before "his genius was first recognized"[2] by Man Ray and Berenice Abbott, two young American photographers working in Paris at the time.[2] When Berenice Abbott reportedly asked him if the French appreciated his art, he responded, "No, only young foreigners."[1] His discovery by Ray and Abbott happened around 1925,[2] just two years before his death, and Berenice Abbott first published most of his work in the United States only after his death.[2] She exhibited, printed and wrote about his work, as well as assembled a substantial archive of writings about his portfolio by herself and others.[13] Abbott published Atget, Photographe de Paris in 1930, the first overview of his photographic oeuvre and the beginning of his international fame.[3][4] She also published a book with prints she made from Atget's negatives: The World of Atget (1964).[14] Berenice Abbott and Eugene Atget was published in 2002.[15]
After Atget's death in 1927, his remaining archive was split. 2000 negatives were donated to a Paris institute, with the remainder bought by Berenice Abbott with financial support by Julien Levy.[3][4][16]
In 1929, eleven of Atget's photographs were shown at the Film und Foto Werkbund exhibition in Stuttgart.[3][4]
The U.S. Library of Congress has some 20 prints made by Abbott in 1956.[17] The Museum of Modern Art purchased the Abbott/Levy collection of Atget's work in 1968.[3][4] In 1985, MoMA completed publication of a four-volume series of books based on its four successive exhibitions about Atget's life and work.
Atget, a Retrospective was presented at the Bibliothèque Nationale of Paris in 2007.
The Atget crater on the planet Mercury is named after him, as is Rue Eugène-Atget in the 13th arrondissement of Paris.
Atget never said or wrote anything about his work, thus leaving no artistic statements.[9]
The U.S. Library of Congress was unable to determine the ownership of the twenty Atget photographs in its collection,[17] thus suggesting that they are technically orphan works. Abbott clearly had a copyright on the selection and arrangement of his photographs in her books, which is now owned by Commerce Graphics.[17] The Library also stated that the Museum of Modern Art, which owns the collection of Atget's negatives, reported that Atget had no heirs and that any rights on these works may have expired.[17]

Arlo DiCristina has rapidly achieved both a national and international reputation as a creative tattoo artist with exceptional skill. He was born in Albany, New York, but lived there for only a short time. When he was young, he and his family moved on several occasions, residing in different regions of the United States and, for a time, in Europe (Vienna, Austria). After high school, Arlo moved to Duluth, Minnesota, where he tried to make a living primarily through his drawings and an apprenticeship at a tattoo studio. Although he was in Duluth for only one year, his experiences there solidified his commitment to pursue a career as an artist. Arlo eventually moved to Grand Junction, Colorado, where he currently works out of his tattoo studio, Elysium. He specializes in surrealistic images and morphs, and most of his paintings, drawings, and tattoos are in black & gray. His artistic interests and style reflect the diverse environments in which he has lived and traveled, which include areas of Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. Arlo's work has appeared in Inked magazine as well as other publications and is readily available for viewing on Instagram (@arlotattoos). He practices his craft at conventions throughout the United States and also has taken his skills to Australia, Finland, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
Robbie Campbell is a self-taught tattoo artist with his professional experience beginning in 2010. He is a husband and father.
Art has always driven Robbie, and for years that drive manifested itself in illicit graffiti and later in building cafe racers and choppers. Tattooing became a career that would help him support his family and feed his spirit.
Top priority for Robbie is respecting his clients and leaving them feeling great about themselves after every session.
Robbie loves doing large-scale, multiple session masterpieces. Of the several styles that he works in, most notable are neotraditional and abstract. He loves bold, black line work as well as bright, vivid color. "Clean" is a word often used by others to describe Robbie's style. He prefers "thorough."

NEW YORK, N.Y. - A New York exhibition of art inspired by Superstorm Sandy is being included in a larger look at how artists respond creatively to natural disasters.
The "After Effects" exhibition features works by more than 20 artists and is opening Friday at a gallery in Manhattan's Chelsea neighbourhood.
Many studios and galleries were in waterfront warehouse areas that suffered some of the worst damage.
Artist Coke Wisdom O'Neal is showing watercolours based on family slides transformed by Sandy's floodwaters into psychedelic cloud-like images.
The Craft Emergency Relief Fund is collecting stories of artistic responses to disaster and plans to post them soon on its Studio Protector website. The fund is a national non-profit that helps artists in need.

Anyone who has suffered from (or lost a loved one to) cardiovascular disease can attest to its costs, both emotional and financial. We know that each of us can avoid – or at least stave off – heart disease by maintaining a healthy diet and that the most effective way to get people to eat better is to make it easier (and cheaper) to do so. Sadly, food and agriculture policy rarely reflects this knowledge.
For years, good food advocates have complained that government subsidies for commodity crops like corn and soy support a system where junk food is cheaper and easier to find than fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly in underserved neighborhoods, where diet-related diseases are especially prevalent. Helping citizens avoid cardiovascular disease is a worthy goal in itself but these days it seems that framing things financially is the only way to talk to decision-makers.
Enter a new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists, which adds up the cost of diet-related cardiovascular disease and extends these financial projections to scenarios where people ate more fruits and vegetables, creating real savings, in both money and lives.
The $11 Trillion Reward: How Simple Dietary Changes Can Save Lives and Money, and How We Get There breaks it down financially:
- If Americans ate enough fruits and vegetables to meet dietary recommendations, we could prevent more than 127,000 deaths and save $17 billion annually — just in medical costs.
- The actual savings would be much higher — using estimates of how much people are willing to invest in measures to reduce cardiovascular disease mortality, UCS calculates that we could save more than $11 trillion a year by eating our veggies.
- Even if each of us ate just one more portion of vegetables daily, savings would still add up to a whopping $2.7 trillion.
- If we continue to eat the way we do now, "by 2030 116 million American are projected to suffer from some type of cardiovascular disease and treatment costs will have increased by 200 percent — reaching a staggering $818 billion."
Assuming these sizable savings are enough to gain the attention of the Senate Agricutlure Committee, what exactly can they do to make it easier for people to make healthy food choices? UCS wraps up the report with a number of simple policy recommendations, including:
- Make it easier for farmers to grow more fruits and vegetables by investing in research that would lead to higher yields and more resilient crops, removing restrictions on farm subsidies to allow farmers to grow fruits and vegetables alongside commodity crops like corn, soy and cotton (currently, farmers receiving subsidies aren't allowed to grow them, except under certain conditions) and give fruit and vegetable producers access to crop insurance (many – especially who grow a variety of crops, can't get insurance).
- Improve access to fresh, locally grown produce. This would include providing grants and loans for new fresh food businesses in underserved areas and removing obstacles for consumers to redeem SNAP and other nutrition benefits at farmers' markets.
Of course, by maintaining a healthy diet, we can each offset our risk of other diet-related illnesses, too, and the costs of those aren't even factored into this report. And rewriting policy to support fruit and vegetable farmers would have other added benefits – our local economies would be healthier, and farmers who grow a diverse range of crops tend to use fewer chemicals, so they're good for our environment, too. Saving thousands of lives and trillions of dollars, while improving local economies and the environment? Sounds like the kind of triple – make that quadruple – bottom line even Congress should be able to get behind.

Judge rejects San Diego County transit plan
San Diego County governments may have to redraw a nearly $200 billion plan that lays out transportation projects for the next 40 years.
U-T San Diego ( https://bit.ly/Vj94KJ ) says a county judge ruled this week that the plan doesn't meet state environmental laws on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The plan, adopted by the San Diego Association of Governments, calls for meeting transportation needs in the growing county with 130 new highway lanes, 156 miles of trolley service and nearly $4 billion in bike and pedestrian projects.
It was challenged by preservation groups and state Attorney General Kamala Harris.
Colleen Windsor, a spokeswoman for the San Diego Association of Governments, says the group feels the plan does meet state requirements. The group's board will meet Friday to discuss the ruling.

Afghanistan's First Women-Only Internet Cafe Opens [PHOTOS]
KABUL, Afghanistan — A new women-only Internet cafe in Afghanistan's capital is the first of its kind in this country.
Staffed entirely by women, it's a place for women to connect to the world in a country where they don't often enjoy the freedom to do what they please online away from the watchful eyes of their fathers, husbands or brothers.
The Young Afghan Women for Change — a local group of women activists — inaugurated the Sahar Gul Internet Cafe last week. The group wants the cafe to become a place for women in Kabul to use the Internet, away from the prying eyes of others — especially from men.
"Based on a survey we did in Kabul, we found out that women were harassed in regular cafés and were uncomfortable sitting beside men for an hour-long (Internet browsing session)," says Zafar Salehi, a YAWC member.
The café is named after Sahar Gul, who was kept in solitary confinement and tortured by her husband for months. Her tragic case drew a great deal of international attention.
Afghans living in the country joined expatriates in Europe and the U.S. in raising money to help the Sahar Gul Internet Café open its doors. Additionally, a private company donated 15 laptops, and a telecommunications firm is providing the café with a free year-long Internet connection.
The YAWC will continue to ask women around Afghanistan about their Internet privacy concerns. If they find another area that might be in need of a women-only Internet cafe, they'll build another just like the Sahar Gul shop.
"In every province where women use the Internet, they have the same problem," says Salehi. "We can hopefully expand this initiative to other places."

Good news this morning from the Beehive State — Utah Governor Gary Herbert vetoed a bill yesterday that would have banned schools from teaching contraception as a way of preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases and instead relegated it to the realm of dirty liberal tricks where so many social conservatives seem to want it to stay. Herbert was widely expected to sign the bill after it cleared the Republican-controlled state House and Senate, but he explained adorably that as a grandparent and parent he considers proper sex education in school the perfect complement to the moral education children receive at home. And that he doesn't want to be a great-grandparent yet because that would make him feel way old. Said Herbert of his decision,
In order for parents to take on more responsibility, they need more information, more involvement, and more choice-not less. I cannot sign a bill that deprives parents of their choice.
No word yet on conservative lawmakers' next move, but one can definitely imagine their collective reaction when faced with the veto: "Blast, foiled again!'

Hi All.
We are trying to use the astro pi temperature sensor to check readings.
However whenever we get the temperature (get_temperature) it is always around 28 degrees.
i.e. the operating temp of the raspberry pi rather than the air temp around it.
As my kids astro pi competition entry program is trying to measure differences in air temp this is proving tricky.
Is there a way to get a true air temp from the astro pi.
Anyone else seeing this problem?
Are they doing something wrong . i.e. does it need calibrating?

with Boo Williams,Legendary Coach, Clinician, and AAU Boys Basketball National Chairman
Nike basketball training specialist Ganon Baker puts cutting and moving without the ball on display. Using Boo Williams' AAU team as demonstrators, Baker helps players develop footwork and speed through intense drills. The fundamentals of cutting and getting open are crucial to young players as well as more experienced players. Warm-up drills shown include: High knees, Crazy Legs, Line Touches with the "fire walk", X's, Jabs and running in place. Heavy emphasis is put on the use of jump ropes for warm-up, strength, and conditioning. Boo Williams stresses the importance of jump rope to develop foot quickness and the ability to get open. The give-and-go series is an excellent segment that adds receiving the ball to cutting. The Hornet drill emphasizes vision on the ball and showing the target hand. Drills included are "door," dance steps and "fake the go" and all put fundamental teaching into practical drills. Because of the trend toward pressure defense, the back door remains one of the game's biggest tools. The athletic cut, L-cut and inside cut are three types of cuts that are demonstrated. All three cuts are useful and unpredictable weapons on the offensive end of the floor. This DVD concludes with Eastman's baseline touch drill, stop cut, 3-on-0 give-and-go, and "Keep away" drill. Keep away puts all teaching points together in an energetic drill that awards points to both the defense and the offense. The serious player and coach can benefit from cutting and moving without the ball. This presentation focuses on taking advantage of the defense, which will allow your team to score more points and add creativity to your practices.

Nelson Playground
Nelson Playground
Half Nelson Playground is located between Nelson and Woodycrest Avenues, south of West 166th Street, in the Highbridge section of the Bronx. The neighborhood abounds with place names that originated with Native Americans, colonial-era settlers, and 19th century engineers, farmers, and estate owners.
The Weckquaesgeek Indians formerly inhabited the area and called it Nuasin. This word is translated as "middle place" or "the land between" the Harlem River and Cromwell's Creek. The Weckquaesgeeks called the Harlem River the Muscoota, which means "River among the green sedge" (grassy plants which have solid stems). Cromwell's Creek, formerly known by the Indian name Mentipathe, flowed into the Harlem River near where Yankee Stadium is located, after following a course along what are now River and Jerome Avenues. Local colonists renamed this creek for James Cromwell, who owned a mill on the water.
In the 18th century, this region was called Devoe's Point for local landowner Frederick Devoe. By the second half of the 19th century, the area was known as Highbridge, named for New York City's oldest surviving bridge which was built between 1840 and 1848 to transport water from the Croton Aqueduct across the Harlem River to Manhattan.
As late as the second half of the 19th century, much of the surrounding land was occupied by family farms and country estates. Woodycrest Avenue, which borders the playground to the east, was named after the "Woody Crest" estate that belonged to the Ketchum family. Mrs. Ketchum inherited this thickly-forested, elevated, sixty-acre tract from her grandfather, who had farmed it in the 1790s. Nelson Avenue, which borders the playground to the west, was probably named for local landowners by the name of Nelson. A man named Nelson was listed as a member of a local agricultural society in 1821, and an I. Nelson owned a house and farm nearby in 1867.
After World War II, residents appealed for the construction of a playground. The City of New York acquired .878 acre of land in 1951 and assigned the site to Parks. The new playground opened in 1952. In 1996 Parks acquired an adjacent .27 acre tract to the south which expanded the playground to 1.148 acres.
A $1,172,000 reconstruction of Half Nelson Playground and completed in 1998. The project included new play equipment for tots and older children, a basketball court, handball courts, picnic tables, benches, drinking fountains, safety surfacing, pavements, curbs, and gates. The drainage and water supply systems were reconstructed, and a yardarm was attached to the flagpole.

Björk-inspired wears and a luxe salon are some of the offerings.
Spurred by the success of Björk, the first Swedish brasserie in Italy, fashion entrepreneur Giuliana Rosset and architect Nicola Quadri have added another tassel to their Swedish dream — Björk Side Store, an eclectic and exclusive composite of food and design.
This story first appeared in the January 9, 2014 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
The fruit of an innovative formula, of a passion for all things Scandinavian and of spasmodic research, the 1,300-square-foot Björk Side Store stretches over three rooms that Rosset describes as "a place where to do your shopping for something really different and exclusive." Democratic price points and a balance of tradition and innovation were the fixed points during the selection of the labels. From smoked salmon to arctic blackberry jam to fruited beers, all the food and dairy products reflect Sweden's geographical diversity and are rigorously selected, traceable and respectful of the animals and the environment. Prices range from $2.50 for a salami to $22 for a kilo of smoked salmon. Ceramic table tops average $25, while a cutlery set for 16 goes for $370. But the pièce de résistance is Memory, a very rare vintage chandelier by Louis Poulsen that rings in at $7,580.

In Malaysia, Masran Abdul Rahman and his family are suing his former fiancée Norzuliyana Mat Hassan for leaving him just six hours before their wedding. Rahman says he suffered distress and embarassment when he was forced to call off the elaborate wedding for 1,200 guests. The AP notes, "His lawyer said the would-be bride didn't give any reason for backing out of the arranged marriage." So weird, right? Why would anyone have second thoughts about going through with an arranged marriage?

After their initial meeting was infamously canceled last minute, lightweights Yves Edwards (41-18-1 MMA, 9-6 UFC) and Jeremy Stephens (20-8 MMA, 7-6 UFC) will give it another go at UFC on FOX 5.
As MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported earlier today, Edwards' original opponent, John Cholish (8-2 MMA, 1-1 UFC), recently scratched due to a groin injury.
In his place steps Stephens, whose incarceration canceled their planned bout this past month at UFC on FX 5.
Edwards today tweeted news of the change.
UFC on FOX 5 takes place at Seattle's KeyArena. The main card airs on FOX following prelims on FX and Facebook, and Edwards vs. Edwards is expected to air on the night's FX broadcast.
Stephens' arrest (due to an old warrant) and UFC President Dana White's inability to spring him from a Minneapolis jail on fight day resulted in the bout's late cancellation. Edwards was paid his show money and rebooked to fight Cholish. However, with Stephens now free, he's stepped in as Cholish's replacement to preserve the original booking.
Edwards was on a 4-1 run before a December loss to "The Ultimate Fighter 14" champion Tony Ferguson, which is the well-rounded fighter's most recent bout. The streak included UFC wins over the likes of Rafaello Oliveira (TKO), Cody McKenzie (submission) and John Gunderson (decision).
Stephens most recently came to Edwards' aid when the longtime vet withdrew from UFC on FUEL TV 3, and he posted a losing effort against Donald Cerrone. The setback was the second straight for "Lil Heathen," who previously lost a decision to former WEC champ Anthony Pettis. The hard-hitting veteran's notable victories include knockouts of Rafael dos Anjos and Marcus Davis, as well as a decision victory over Sam Stout.
The full UFC on FOX 5 card now includes:
MAIN CARD (FOX, 8 p.m. ET)
- Champ Benson Henderson vs. Nate Diaz (for lightweight title)
- Alexander Gustafsson vs. Mauricio "Shogun" Rua
- Rory MacDonald vs. B.J. Penn
- Matt Brown vs. Mike Swick
- Lavar Johnson vs. Brendan Schaub
- Mike Chiesa vs. Marcus LeVesseur
- Nam Phan vs. Dennis Siver
- Raphael Assuncao vs. Mike Easton
- Ramsey Nijem vs. Joe Proctor
- Yves Edwards vs. Jeremy Stephens
- Daron Cruickshank vs. Henry Martinez
- John Albert vs. Scott Jorgensen
- Tim Means vs. Abel Trujillo
