The Best Pass Of The NBA Season Was A Cross-Court Kick

Iman Shumpert could play for the Red Bulls!

We missed this, but last week, the Knicks visited Indiana for a basketball game. Nobody told Iman Shumpert that it was a basketball game, though.

Watch this again. Shumpert somehow kicks a perfectly arcing pass to Steve Novak, who knocks down the three. That goes down in the books as an assist, even though it was about as accidental as basketball gets.

Despite Shump's nifty footwork, the Knicks still lost by 34, likely staving off a soccer-aping epidemic from overwhleming the NBA.

Last week here in our warm cozy Stew Corner, we took things in an exceedingly healthy direction with white bean and kale. Now that you're floating on a high of superfoods, I'm going to trick you into entering the equally rich and exciting world of industrially processed foods! GASP!

Before you reflexively run toward the farmers' market, take a deep breath. Your Winter Stew Correspondent is going to take you to a special place — where hyper-capitalism has merged with a deep cultural respect for deliciousness. That place is — you guessed it — Japan. And the stew is Japanese curry rice, one of the easiest, cheapest, most crowd-pleasing one-pot dishes you can have in your arsenal.

It's all possible thanks to these miraculous brown beauties:

36 Cute And Clever Ways To Save The Date

0

You definitely want to send something out that's as memorable as your wedding will be.

1) Send them out 6 months before the ceremony. Any earlier and you run the risk of your date or venue changing.
2) If you want to save money, only send them to out-of-town guests and people you know will need to plan far in advance.
3) They are a must for destination weddings, or if your wedding happens to fall on a 3-day holiday weekend.
4) If you're going with a quirky photo or motif, be cautious about who you're sending them to. Especially if you have any relatives on the conservative side.
5) Be upfront about who's invited. Does the guest receive a +1? Are you banning children from your wedding? It's important to note this in the content of the card.
6) Remember to add "Invitation to Follow."
7) Don't forget to include your wedding website URL.

The New File-Sharing Police

Third-party vendors will troll peer-to-peer networks looking for copyrighted material, then notify the downloader's Internet Service Provider to issue penalties.

Actor Will Smith speaks at the start of a Motion Picture Association of America's (MPAA) symposium, The Business of Show Business. The event is designed to educate and inform policymakers about the contributions the American motion picture business brings to the U.S. economy — and get them on board with anti-piracy efforts.

This week the major and independent music labels and movie and television studios (represented by the RIAA, Motion Picture Association of America, and other groups) launched the latest offensive in the war on illegal downloading: the Copyright Alert System.

In 1999, the recording industry was valued at $14 billion. Today what it's worth is estimated at less than $7 billion — a difference the Recording Industry Association of America says is primarily due to pirating of copyrighted music.

The new system is an attempt to combat that loss by identifying individuals who are pirating music, movies, and TV shows using peer-to-peer networks. It rats them out to their Internet Service Provider, who in turn sends them an alert telling them they have been caught downloading illegally.

Jill Lesser is the executive director of the Center for Copyright Information, which designed and implemented the program. Third-party "vendors" enlisted by the entertainment industries, Lesser explains, will patrol peer-to-peer networks looking for copyrighted content.

"Anybody can join those networks. Those vendors join peer-to-peer networks, and they essentially participate in that network," Lesser says. "They go out and say, 'I'm looking for a copy of Argo,' and anybody on that network who has Argo to offer will make that available."

The copyright police then note the IP address of the individual sharing a copy of Argo, and they send it to that person's Internet Service Provider (ISP). "At that point, the ISP looks at the IP address and says, 'OK, who was using this IP address at that time?' It sends that customer an alert," she explains.

Lesser stresses, "No activity that the user is engaged in on his or her ISP can be seen by the content owners — this is all tracking what's happening on public peer-to-peer network."

The ISP sends a first alert, and if that person continues downloading copyrighted music and movies illegally, each alert will become progressively more annoying. "They are intended to say, 'You have now received five or six notices and you are not responding and you are continuing to engage in copyright infringement so we do want to take this opportunity to reemphasize the seriousness of it,'" Lesser says.

The type of alert will vary between ISPs. "Some ISPs are putting people through educational tutorials, some are restricting access to the top 500 sites for a very short period of time, one ISP is reducing the speed for 48 hours," Lesser says.

Comcast will be sending in-browser alerts and emails. Verizon will also send alerts, and if they are ignored, will eventually throttle the user's internet speed for a time.

Each alert will also include a link to one of two sites where users can find television shows, movies and music legally — WheretoWatch and MusicMatters.

The system kicked off this week and, Lesser says, so far, so good. "The alerts that have been sent, they have gotten to the right subscribers; the ISPs are not getting flooded with customer service calls; everything has gone smoothly."

The studios and labels, and the groups that represent them, are hopeful the new system will work — but to different degrees.

"The launch of the Copyright Alert System marks a major development in the kind of voluntary partnership that can best address the needs of consumers for better information about the tremendous growth in legal online sites for movies, TV, and music," Michael O'Leary, senior executive vice president at the MPAA said in a statement.

Cara Duckworth of the RIAA was slightly more restrained in her optimism. "Piracy will always evolve in different forms — and we think this is a really innovative approach to dealing with the problem today," she said.

The NFL's Last Great Quarterback Controversy

0
0

The last decade of the NFL has hinged on one big decision by Bill Belichick in 2001.

Image by Brian Bahr / Getty Images

Folks in the Bay Area have been saying good-bye to Alex Smith for weeks now, and it came as no surprise for any Niners fan from Modesto to Half Moon Bay to hear that Smith had finally been traded. What was surely the most surprising bit of information was the early word on how much the deal might send back — a 2013 second-round pick and a conditional third-rounder next year — from Kansas City, where Smith will be the No. 1 guy once again under new coach Andy Reid. Colin Kaepernick, who nearly led the team to a historic Super Bowl comeback win three weeks ago, is SF's undisputed starter for the foreseeable future, unless something unexpected happens.

It was fitting, then, that news of Smith's inevitable exodus leaked just a couple of news cycles after we learned of Tom Brady's new contract extension, the one that helps the team stay competitive, gives him a raise, and guarantees that he retires as the greatest New England Patriot of all time and one of the top five quarterbacks in NFL history. And the only reason that sentence doesn't solely reside in some fantasy world penned by a 13-year-old Mainer writing NFL fanfic until 3 a.m. every night is because something unexpected happened in Foxborough on Sept. 23, 2001. In the same way that Alex Smith lost his starting job this past season to a concussion, New England's Drew Bledsoe lost his job late that afternoon to a sheared blood vessel in his chest. Tom Brady, an unheralded sixth-round draft pick from Michigan and one-time chubby kid from San Mateo, California, came on in relief and never relinquished his position. Brady went on to lead the team a Super Bowl win that season, never mind the four more appearances (and two wins) that subsequently followed.

There was some middling, healthy debate in San Francisco about whether it was right that Smith lost his position last season through little fault of his own, though fans had seen enough of Smith and been underwhelmed by six-plus seasons of mediocrity. The Patriots faced a much more delicate midseason quarterback controversy in 2001. In many ways, football fans haven't seen such a great QB battle like Brady/Bledsoe since it occurred. (And no, Tebow/Sanchez in New York doesn't count. For it to be a great controversy there should be at least one decent quarterback.) Furthermore, there's a chance we may never see one again that has such far-reaching implications. Because matters shook out the way they did, Brady, head coach Bill Belichick, and some others will be NFL Hall of Famers one day. But it almost never happened that way, and Bostonians were torn for weeks.

As an intern in the Boston Globe's sports department during the Patriots' 2001-02 season, I was prone to saving certain section covers that caught my eye. For reasons that escape me even in hindsight, I kept two that pertain to Brady. The first came from the days that followed Drew Bledsoe's clearance by the team's medical staff, when Belichick and the rest of the organization had to make the call as to whether Brady, who'd gone a respectable 5-2 since stepping in as the starter, would continue in that role or whether Bledsoe, who'd suffered his "sheared blood vessel" thanks to New York Jets linebacker Mo Lewis, might return as the main man in Foxborough. As you can see from the Globe-conducted polls at the left, public opinion was certainly in Brady's favor, but the consensus was not unanimous. Belichick, who was still fairly unproven in his own right as a head coach at that point, had to make a decision that, no matter what, would be unpopular with some segment of his team's fan base.

He stuck with Brady. The following week, the Patriots lost to the team they would later meet (and beat) in the Super Bowl, the St. Louis Rams, and public opinion had started to turn the other way.

He's been wearing the disturbing pants with crotches that sag to the knees but are tight like leggings everywhere else for a long time. He's 19 — it's just all got to be part of his "awkward" phase, we figured. Eventually those crotches will hoist themselves skyward, his calves and ankles will be relieved of the disproportional skinniness when he finally finds a pair of normal pants. This boy has stylists — surely this will all sort itself out!

Except his pants are not sorting themselves out.

On Wednesday, Bieber went out in purple leopard pants with the crotch practically dragging on the ground. Not only are his pants not evolving and maturing along with his nubile pectorals, but they are also getting much, much worse — sinking quite literally to a new low.
