She was 68. Gore died of lung cancer at New York University Langone Medical Center in Manhattan, according to her partner of 33 years, Lois Sasson.

UFC champ Ronda Rousey appears in the 2015 SI Swimsuit Issue – USA TODAY

UFC fighter Ronda Rousey in the 2015 SI Swimsuit Issue, on sale now.(Walter Iooss Jr./Sports Illustrated) UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is one of several athletes to appear in the 2015 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which is on sale now. Rousey, who will defend her title against Cat Zingano in less than three weeks at UFC 184, actually posed for the issue this past fall. While the above photo, taken during a shoot on Captiva Island on Florida’s Gulf Coast, may look comfortably warm and peaceful, Rousey remembers it being “freezing ass cold” that day. “I’m very good at hiding the pain on my face,” she told For The Win, noting that the frigid temperatures were nowhere near as unbearable as the throbbing in her right hand at The Expendables 3 premiere last summer. Rousey, who broke her hand at UFC 175 in July, took off her cast three weeks early to avoid wearing it on the red carpet. Unfortunately not all of her co-stars got that message, as

All-Star Game MVP Westbrook put knee surgery behind him – Philly.com

Keith Pompey, Inquirer Staff Writer Posted: Tuesday, February 17, 2015, 3:01 AM NEW YORK Russell Westbrook s latest accomplishment could be used as motivation for the 76ers, especially Tony Wroten. A year ago, Westbrook was unable to play in the NBA All-Star Game after undergoing a third surgery on his right knee. But on Sunday night, the Oklahoma City Thunder point guard had one of the best All-Star Game performances of all time. He was named MVP after finishing with 41 points off the bench to lead the West all-stars to a 163-158 victory at Madison Square Garden. Westbrook s point total was one shy of the All-Star Game record set by Wilt Chamberlain in 1962. More coverage VOTE: Should the Sixers trade MCW or Noel?

Russell Westbrook’s Historic All-Star Night Shows Climb Up NBA Superstar Ladder – Bleacher Report

Jesse D. Garrabrant/Getty Images Regular season, playoffs, backyard pickup or 2015 NBA All-Star Game, Russell Westbrook s basketball intensity dial is always, always cranked three notches past the max. So it shouldn t have been a surprise that the Oklahoma City Thunder s powered-on point guard electrified Madison Square Garden in a 163-158 Western Conference win Sunday. His 41 points fell just one short of tying Wilt Chamberlain s record for an All-Star Game and earned him the game s MVP award: It also served as yet another reminder that Westbrook has the raw physical skill and unrelenting drive to stand out even when surrounded by the brightest stars in the NBA sky. The shots came in quick succession when Westbrook came off the Western Conference bench, and most of them fell. When a couple of quick-release triples went down, it was all the confirmation Westbrook needed to keep chucking. Anthony Slater of The Oklahoman captured Westbrook testing just how hot he was in the second qua

‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ dominates box office with $81.7M – New York Daily News

Universal Pictures/universal Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan star in the film adaptation of E.L. James steamy Fifty Shades of Grey. Audiences were more than curious to check out the big-screen adaptation of the racy phenomenon Fifty Shades of Grey this weekend. The erotic R-rated drama sizzled in its debut, earning an estimated $ 81.7 million from 3,646 theaters in its first three days, distributor Universal Pictures said on Sunday. In addition to destroying Valentine s and Presidents Day weekend records, Fifty Shades of Grey has also become the second-highest February debut ever, behind Passion of the Christ s $ 83.9 million opening in 2004. The chart-topping film cost a modest $ 40 million to produce. Starring Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan as Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, it could be on track to earn over $ 90 million across the four-day holiday weekend. Our fondest wishes were realized, said Universal s President of Domestic Distribution Nick Carpou. This is one of those m

Monday Morning Musings on the NBA All-Star Game, or does everybody dig the … – cleveland.com

CLEVELAND, Ohio Here in the Slam Dunk City, the popularity of pro basketball was never more clearly demonstrated than on Saturday night. That was when amazing athletic ability and skills learned over many years or, alternatively, a snowstorm and polar cold kept Clevelanders inside, watching a midwinter s night hoop dream. The top TV ratings nationwide for NBA All-Star Saturday Night were Cleveland (7.9), Atlanta (7.7), San Antonio (7.4), New York (7.2), Portland (6.1). • At that moment in time, Cleveland could have claimed to be Indianapolis before the Colts got Peyton Manning a basketball town. Or, maybe, everybody was watching TNT s Saturday Night All-Star contests  instead of The Harder They Fall on Turner Classic Movies because the latter too closely reminded many fans of various Browns quarterbacks. • Anyway, no matter the cause, the ratings were the biggest surprise since I realized people will actually watch the Pro Bowl.

‘SNL’ 40th Anniversary Special Dominates Ratings With 23.1 Million Viewers – Variety

NBC’s star-studded “Saturday Night Live” anniversary special on Sunday scored some of the network’s best ratings for an entertainment telecast in years, drawing numbers that were pretty close to what CBS did one week earlier with the Grammys. The Peacock easily beat its combined ABC-CBS-Fox competition during primetime. According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, “SNL 40th Anniversary Special” averaged a 7.8 rating/21 share in adults 18-49 and 23.1 million viewers overall from 8 to 11 p.m., preceded by an hourlong red-carpet special that performed nicely as well (3.0/10 in 18-49, 11.1 million viewers overall). The 7.8 rating is the best for any NBC primetime entertainment telecast (excluding post-Super Bowl programs) since the “Will & Grace” finale in May 2006, and the 23.1 million total viewers is the net’s best since the night of the “Frasier” finale in May 2004. And among all “SNL” primetime specials, last night’s is the highest-rated in

Jony Ive’s Lightsaber: not another iPhone – SlashGear

Chris Burns Believe it or not, not every device or piece of software Apple design guru Jony Ive has conceived looks as smooth and precise as an iPhone. In fact this week a conversation has come to light one between Jony Ive and the director of the next Star Wars film, J.J. Abrams. In a chat between the two, Abrams suggests that Ive made very specific suggestions on how a re-designed lightsaber might look. Not smooth, nor refined. Just the opposite far more gritty. You ll be interested to know that the very first lightsaber was designed by collecting a bunch of previously-made pieces of machinery, slapping them together to make a hilt. According to Master Replicas, the following bits and pieces were used: Obi-Wan s Lightsaber original build (STAR WARS 1977)• Graflex clamp and band• Calculator bubble display strip• Booster attachment from a Browning ANM2 machine gun for the rear grip• Armitage Shank hand wheel from a sink faucet for the pommel• WWI No.3 MK1 British rifle grena

West wins NBA All-Star Game, Melo struggles, Westbrook MVP – New York Daily News

Carmelo Anthony at least came through on his promise as New York’s self-proclaimed host and ambassador this weekend by waving to the home crowd and acknowledging the fans that voted him into the Eastern Conference starting lineup for Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game. Anthony typically received the loudest pregame ovation from the Garden fans, but he couldn’t reward that hometown support. He had a rough shooting night that did little to dispel the notion that the hobbled Knicks star may end his season to have surgery on his bothersome left knee. The $ 124 million forward started and logged 30 minutes over four half-speed stints in the East’s 163-158 loss to the Western Conference. Anthony scored 14 points on just 6-for-20 shooting – including 11 of 13 misses from three-point range. Andrew D.

Detroit man whose 21-mile walk to work inspired $350000 in donations moves to … – Yahoo News

The Detroit man whose determination to walk more than 20 miles a day to get to and from work inspired an online campaign that raised more than $ 350,000 for him abruptly moved on Tuesday after telling police that he did not feel safe with his newfound fortune. According to the Detroit Free Press — whose profile of 56-year-old James Robertson led to the outpouring of donations and gifts, including a new car — the factory worker was moved to a temporary home after consulting with local law enforcement officials. We had a meeting with him [and] he expressed interest that he did not feel safe, Detroit Police Capt. Aric Tosqui told the newspaper. People were actually asking him for money. More than $ 350,000 was pledged for Robertson through a crowdfunding campaign launched by Evan Leedy, a 19-year-old college student who read the story and wanted to help a stranger in need. According to the paper, Robertson has yet to see any of the money raised and is expected to meet with financial

Verizon, T-Mobile Come Out Tops on RootMetrics Report – Highlight Press

There was really no surprise on the latest RootMetrics mobile network report, as the tester revealed last week that Verizon Wireless was again the best overall performer among America’s carriers.  However, T-Mobile also made a good impression, joining Verizon as two carriers with impressive showings in the 4G LTE category. RootMetrics’ latest data did not include average speed to gauge a carrier’s complete coverage footprint, and it may be just as well – there are better ways to determine how well a carrier’s network does.  What the Seattle-based company did now was to report the number of metropolitan areas where a carrier’s average download speed reaches a certain threshold.  With that said, there were 122 metros where Verizon’s average download speed was 10 Mbps or better, followed by 96 metros for T-Mobile.  AT&T came in at third with a total of 93 cities. As for download speeds meeting or exceeding the higher threshold, the Uncarrier actually led Verizon by one

NEW YORK — A year ago, Russell Westbrook was in a much different place.

But on Sunday night, on the biggest stage the game has to offer, Westbrook showed the Big Apple what the Big Easy missed. Westbrook was named MVP after scoring a game-high 41 points off the bench to lead the West All-Stars to a 163-158 win over the East inside Madison Square Garden, the renowned arena on 33rd Street and 8th Avenue in which legends have been made.

Sprint Overtakes T-Mobile in Latest RootMetrics Report – Frontline Desk

Sprint has shown a remarkable performance in the second half of 2014, as per the latest RootMetrics report. T-Mobile and Sprint have been trying hard to attain a good position among the other wireless networks.  Hence, the two firms are continuously upgrading their policies and strategies. The recent RootMetric result demonstrates that consumers are closely observing progress of Sprint. Thus, they are encouraging wireless carrier to compete with T-Mobile. Jeff Kagan, an analyst, discussed the current position of the wireless firms in detail. He informs that the incredible improvement in Sprint is responsible for the present rank of T-Mobile.  Hence, the position of T-mobile does not signify that it has shown weaker performance. Currently, the two firms stands on number three and four respectively.  They are required to put a lot more effort in order to meet Verizon and AT&T.  The US wireless industry is so big that all of them can win in various positions.

Klay Thompson gives a glimpse of All-Star life in New York – MiamiHerald.com

Klay Thompson walked off the elevator on the fifth floor of the Sheraton Times Square Hotel wearing a white-collared shirt with thin red checkers, dark denim jeans and a tired face. The first-time All-Star wasn t going to have much time to catch his breath, either. Not this weekend. Golden State s dynamic shooting guard had played the night before in Minnesota, taken a flight to New York and then gone out for pepperoni pizza in midtown Manhattan, which kept him up past 5 a.m. I immediately regretted that decision, Thompson quipped as he strolled through the hotel to begin the frenzied NBA TV Media Circuit on Thursday. It was the beginning of a four-day weekend unlike any other in Thompson s life, one where he made his 3-point contest and All-Star debuts — the latter at Madison Square Garden, no less. And despite all the advice teammates and coaches passed along to him, there was nothing that could ve prepared him for the experience. The Associated Press trailed Thompson for parts of

‘American Sniper’ stokes the culture wars – Fairbanks Daily News-Miner

Everyone involved with this week’s most popular movie claims it has nothing to do with politics. Really, star actor Bradley Cooper stressed again and again in interviews, it doesn’t. Director Clint Eastwood’s “American Sniper” simply explains the “plight” of the soldier, he told the Daily Beast, providing a “character study.” But this was no ordinary soldier. This was the late Chris Kyle, the much-mythologized “deadliest sniper” in American history. And regardless of what Cooper wants, his movie has become political. Before he was shot to death at a Texas gun range, Kyle, who claimed he killed 150 people while working as a sniper in Iraq, oozed conviction and charisma. He wore big boots. He spoke with a languid Texas drawl. He wrote a best-selling memoir. He made millions. And he stirred controversy just about everywhere he went. The conversation that now shadows the release of “American Sniper,” which collected a record $ 105 million during the holiday weeke

HoloLens: The hands on experience – Mashable

What s This? Microsoft s new Windows 10-based augmented reality headset, the HoloLens. Image: Microsoft By Lance Ulanoff2015-01-22 06:15:26 UTC Let’s get this out of the way: Microsoft HoloLens is not exactly a holographic system, but don’t hold that against it. The reality of Microsoft’s surprise augmented reality system is that it is something special, extraordinary even. It may be the first virtual-reality device to truly blend the virtual and the real in one seamless, head-mounted experience. See also: Virtual Paul McCartney app is mind-blowingly cool Following Microsoft’s ballsy “one more thing” presentation on Wednesday, the company gave me an impressive series of hands-on and up-close experiences with HoloLens. Microsoft banned photos and videos from these demos, so I had to take copious hand-written (!!) notes to keep track. As a result, I have no images or Vines beyond what Microsoft provided in media kits and what I could gather during the original public present

Aaron Davidson/Getty Images Jay Leno speaks at NATPE 2015 in Miami Beach on Jan. 21. Jay Leno finally spoke out against fellow NBC alum Bill Cosby and the sexual assault allegations surrounding the comedian. “I don’t know why it’s so hard to believe women,” the former “Tonight Show” host, 64, said onstage during an interview at NATPE Wednesday. “You go to Saudi Arabia and you need two women to testify against a man. Here you need 25,” Leno added. The longtime talk show host’s comments came about after he was asked how he felt about Larry Wilmore’s new show, “The Nightly Show,” which covered the allegations Tuesday night. Leno said he thought Wilmore’s new show was “terrific,” and it brought a “different perspective” that was missing from late night TV.

At least one ‘Fifty Shades’ sex scene didn’t make it into the movie – USA TODAY

(Universal/Focus Features) When you’re adapting a book like Fifty Shades of Grey into a movie, there are bound to be issues when it comes to deciding how much of the stuff the book told you’re actually going to show. And while there are many, many sex scenes in the Fifty Shades book, one in particular that will definitely not be in the movie, and it’s probably a good thing. Without getting into too many details, book fans will know it as the one that involves Christian, Ana and a tampon. Director Sam Taylor-Johnson told Variety: “It didn’t make it into the movie. It was never even discussed.” Well there you have it. One of the movie’s producers, Michael De Luca, elaborated a little on why that particular scene didn’t make the cut: “The book needed to put you in Ana’s shoes to be a successful experience. A lot of it was very literal. The movie didn’t need to do that. It’s a completely different medium.” But don’t worry guys, this doesn’t mean the mov

Patriots should be disqualified from the Super Bowl – USA TODAY

Cheat on a test in school? You fail, no questions asked. Cheat on your taxes, the IRS will find you. It won’t be pretty. Cheat on a World Cup bid and, well, you probably get awarded that World Cup, but that’s neither here nor there. The New England Patriots cheated in the AFC championship. As such, the team should be disqualified from the Super Bowl. (AP) Deflating 11 of 12 balls in Sunday’s game, as has been reported by ESPN, is a major violation and something that had a great affect on the game. Given the number of deflated balls, it’s almost impossible this was accident, meaning that someone in the New England organization willfully tampered with the rules to give his team an advantage. That’s cheating. The penalty should be simple: Ban ‘em. (AP) Of course, it’s not realistic to disqualify New England from the Super Bowl. What’s the NFL going to do, bring back the Colts to replace them? Hold a loser-bracket between Denver and Indianapolis? That’s not feasible. Jus

Obama undermines Hillary Clinton in State of the Union address – Fox News

Oct. 3, 2012: Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks at the State Department in Washington. (AP) FILE June 3, 2013: Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks on stage during the 2013 CFDA Fashion Awards at Alice Tully Hall in New York. (Photo by Brad Barket/Invision/AP) Is President Obama trying to sabotage Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential run? That’s one take-away from his feisty State of the Union address, in which Mr. Obama did three things: first, he moved the Democratic agenda far to the left, where Hillary is not entirely comfortable; second, he rebuffed the clear preference of voters that he work with Congress, by making the cornerstone of his address proposals unacceptable to the GOP and third, he assured the country that our foreign policy (Hillary’s foreign policy) is working.  Americans are not at all convinced, 13 days after the vicious attacks on Charlie Hedbo in Paris, that Obama’s “broader strategy” is leading to “a safer, mor
