He did something that nobody associated with the NBA will ever forget. In just his 88th day as NBA Commissioner, Silver took a stand against racism that will be long remembered as a landmark day in American sports. With emotion in his voice and righteousness in his words, Silver delivered a historic rebuke to Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for his racist comments captured in audio recordings released by TMZ and Deadspin. "The views expressed by Mr. Sterling are deeply offensive and harmful; that they came from an NBA owner only heightens the damage and my personal outrage," Silver said on Tuesday during a press conference in New York. "Sentiments of this kind are contrary to the principles of inclusion and respect that form the foundation of our diverse, multicultural and multiethnic league." Read More... More on Video

Huffington Post: Here's A Reminder Of Just How Awesome Our World Really Is (VIDEO) Posted: 30 Apr 2014 07:34 AM PDT From a crimson sunset to a baby's wobbly first steps to the empty splendor of deep space, our universe is full of awe-inspiring phenomena -- and science has a special way of revealing that things around us are even more awesome than they otherwise might seem. And that's a good thing, because now we know that awe can boost your well-being. In 2012, researchers at Stanford University showed that when people felt awestruck, they were more patient, more willing to be helpful, and reported feeling more satisfied with life. "We think 'awe' is really about informing people of how to be members of social communities and that's why a lot of the great awe experiences are experiences like listening to music or being part of a political rally or being part of a social collective," Dr. Dacher Keltner, co-director of the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley, told The Huffington Post.

Huffington Post: Los Angeles NAACP Denounces Donald Sterling Posted: 29 Apr 2014 06:10 AM PDT LOS ANGELES (AP) — The NAACP has decided against honoring Donald Sterling with a lifetime achievement award from its Los Angeles chapter after the Clippers owner allegedly made racist comments in a recorded conversation. Donations made by Sterling, who has owned the team since 1981, will be returned, Leon Jenkins, president of the Los Angeles NAACP, said at a news conference Monday. Jenkins would not say how much money was involved. "There is a personal, economic and social price that Mr. Sterling must pay for his attempt to turn back the clock on race relations," he said.

Huffington Post: Netflix Agrees To Pay Verizon For Faster Internet, Too Posted: 29 Apr 2014 06:13 AM PDT LOS ANGELES, April 28 (Reuters) - Netflix Inc has reached a deal to pay Verizon Communications Inc for faster delivery of its TV shows and movies, the second arrangement to pay fees for quicker access that the company argues should be free. Financial terms were not disclosed. In February, Netflix struck a deal with Comcast Corp to pay for faster delivery over the Internet through a practice known as interconnection. Weeks later, Netflix Chief Executive Reed Hastings said he had reluctantly agreed to pay the fees so his customers would get better service. Hastings, in a blog post in March, called on broadband providers to make adequate connections available to Netflix for free, but said Netflix might reach deals to pay other providers in the short term. On Monday, Netflix spokesman Joris Evers said "we have reached an interconnect arrangement with Verizon that we hope will improve performance for our joint customers over the coming months." Verizon spokesman Bob Varettoni confirmed the deal. "We reached this agreement to deliver improved service for our combined customers," he said.

Huffington Post: Turkey's Erdogan Says He Will Try To Extradite Rival From The U.S Posted: 29 Apr 2014 06:13 AM PDT * Gulen in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania since 1997 * Erdogan accuses him of building "parallel state" * Erdogan also criticises German president (Adds comment on German president, extradition process) By Gulsen Solaker ANKARA, April 29 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said on Tuesday he would ask the United States to extradite an Islamic cleric he accuses of plotting to topple him and undermine Turkey with concocted graft accusations and secret wire taps. Fethullah Gulen has lived in self-imposed exile in Pennsylvania since 1997, when secularist authorities raised accusations of Islamist activity against him. Erdogan accuses him of building a "parallel state" of followers in institutions such as the police and judiciary and using them to try to pull the levers of state power. Gulen, a former ally, denies engineering a police graft investigation which has seen three cabinet ministers quit, but has denounced Erdogan over moves to shut down the inquiry by purging police and judiciary of his followers. Asked by a reporter at parliament after a meeting of his ruling AK Party if a process would begin for Gulen's extradition, Erdogan said: "Yes, it will begin." In an interview with PBS talk show host Charlie Rose broadcast late on Monday, Erdogan said Gulen could also pose a threat to U.S. security by his activities. "These elements which threaten the national security of Turkey cannot be allowed to exist in other countries because what they do to us here, they might do against their host," Erdogan told Rose in the interview, according to a transcript. Erdogan has drawn accusations of increasing authoritarianism with his response to the graft investigation, which has included removing thousands of police officers and hundreds of judges and prosecutors, as well as imposing a two-week ban on Twitter and broadening the powers of the state intelligence service. Human Rights Watch on Monday criticised a new law giving the national intelligence agency (MIT) more scope for eavesdropping, greater immunity from prosecution for top agents and jail terms for leaks of sensitive information, saying it gave the agency "carte blanche" and was open to abuse. The government has said the law replaces outdated legislation and brings Turkey in line with international norms. German President Joachim Gauck criticised Erdogan's leadership style during a trip to Turkey on Monday and warned against curbing freedom of expression. "Presumably he still thinks he is a clergyman," Erdogan said of Gauck, a former Lutheran pastor, adding his comments showed a lack of statesmanship and that he was "saddened" by his attitude. EXTRADITION Erdogan said Turkey had complied with more than 10 extradition requests from the United States and now expected the same response from its NATO ally. But it was not clear on what basis an extradition might be agreed. Turkish authorities would first need to issue an arrest warrant for Gulen and produce evidence indicating he has committed a crime, according to the 1979 treaty signed between the two countries. "If he was tried in Turkey and had been convicted, then you can send that court ruling. You can request extradition for the implementation (of that sentence)," said former European Court of Human Rights judge Riza Turmen, a deputy from the main opposition CHP party. "But none of these are currently the case," he told Reuters. The 1979 treaty also exempts all crimes of a "political character" unless they can be shown to have targeted either the head of state or head of government, or their families. Erdogan said Turkey had cancelled Gulen's passport and that he was in the United States as a legal resident on a green card. The U.S. embassy in Ankara had no immediate comment. Gulen runs a network of businesses and schools, well-funded and secular in nature, across the world. The schools are a major source of influence and funding and have become the target of government efforts to have them shut down. Erdogan accuses Gulen of contriving criminal allegations that his son and the children of three ministers were involved in a corruption scandal and took billions of dollars of bribes. He has also accused Gulen's Hizmet (Service) movement of bugging thousands of phones and leaking audio recordings, including purportedly of his foreign minister and senior security officials discussing possible armed intervention in neighbouring Syria, on the website YouTube. Gulen has denied these accusations. The recordings appeared ahead of a March 30 municipal election, but did little to affect Erdogan's popularity, with his AK Party dominating the electoral map.

Huffington Post: Barcelona Star Transforms Racist Banana Taunt Into Empowering Anti-Racism Moment (VIDEO) Posted: 28 Apr 2014 11:02 AM PDT Barcelona defender Dani Alves combatted hate with humor and transformed an apparent act of racism into an anti-racism campaign that rallied some of the world's biggest soccer stars. The left back was preparing to take a corner kick in the second half of Barcelona's match against Villarreal on Sunday when a spectator threw a banana at him. Rather than ignoring the heinous act, one that was visible to fans at El Madrigal as well as those watching the game around the world on television, Alves picked up the banana. The 30-year-old Brazilian proceeded to peel the banana and take a bite. Alves then tossed the banana and got back to work. Alves had already been involved in one Villarreal own goal and he would later be involved in another. "We have suffered this in Spain for some time," Alves said after the game, via Sky News. "You have to take it with a dose of humor. We aren't gong to change things easily. If you don't give it importance, they don't achieve their objective." Read More... More on Video
