Spurs vs. Heat Live Stream: How To Watch Week 2 NBA Action Online

$

Wednesday night’s matchup between the San Antonio Spurs (3-0) and Miami Heat (2-1) will be without either of the team’s biggest stars. Kawhi Leonard’s leg injury will sideline him into November, while Hassan Whiteside has been officially ruled out with a lingering bruised knee.

While Leonard has yet to be a factor this season, power forward LaMarcus Aldridge has been picking up the slack. The Heat will have to keep an eye out, as he racked up 20 points in San Antonio’s 101-97 win against the Toronto Raptors. After almost having two 20-point leads disappear in it’s two wins, Miami needs to shut down the Spurs’ leading scorer to secure the decisive win it so desperately needs.

San Antonio heads to Miami dead last in  three-point attempts (17.7) and three-pointers made (4.7), as well as second to last in three-point percentage (26.4). That should allow the Heat to focus their defense within the arc and in the paint, as the Spurs have been their own worst enemy from beyond the three-point line.

In addition to Leonard, Joffrey Lauvergne (ankle) and Tony Parker (quadriceps) are out for the Spurs. Dion Waiters (ankle) and Goran Dragic (thigh) are day-to-day for the Heat.

University Of Illinois Math Professor Says That Alegbra And Geometry Promote White Privilege

$

Just when you might have thought your math class was safe from Social Marxism and SJWs, a University of Illinois professor somehow made algebra and geometry all about race. Yup, math can be racist too. Wait, what?

University of Illinois math professor Rochelle Gutierrez believes that geometry and algebra perpetuate white privilege. One reason is that the Greek terms give Caucasians “unearned credit for the subject.” I wonder if she knows that “algebra” is an Arabic word, meaning “reunion of broken parts.” Way to overlook the Arabs, teach!

Another reason why Professor Gutierrez believes these math subjects promote “white privilege” is because math proficiency promotes discrimination against minority students if they perform poorly relative to their white counterparts.

Professor Gutierrez’ argument was featured in a newly publish mathematics education book for teachers, providing awareness to “identity politics” inclusion in the subject of math.

“On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness,” she argues, according to Campus Reform. “Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as White.”

The professor argues that subjects such as algebra and geometry perpetuates racism and white privilege. She’s concerned that “curricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans.”

She claims that the importance of math skills in the real world causes “unearned privilege” to be bestowed upon those with good math skills. And since most math professors are white, they’re more often the ones who acquire this “privilege.”

Gutierrez wonders why math professors receive more grants than “social studies” or “English” teachers.

“Are we really that smart just because we do mathematics?,” she asks. “If one is not viewed as mathematical, there will always be a sense of inferiority that can be summoned,” she says, claiming that minorities “have experienced microaggressions from participating in math classrooms… [where people are] judged by whether they can reason abstractly.”

Gutierrez believes the best way to resolve racial inequality in mathematics is through a method known as “political conocimiento,” which is a Spanish term meaning “political knowledge for teaching.”

The professor concludes her argument with the assumption that all knowledge is “relational,” and “things cannot be known objectively; they must be known subjectively.”

Tensions were heating up Tuesday night on the hockey rink between Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Bieksa and Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas. That night, the Ducks defeated the Flyers, with a score of 6-2. But that wasn’t the only time the Flyers lost that night because one of their guys got knocked the f**k out!

Yup, a fight broke out during the game and ended very quickly. Radko Gudas goes down like a pound of bricks. Meanwhile, Kevin Bieksa may just have a WWE or UFC contract waiting for him somewhere down the line. UFC President Dana White approved of Bieksa’s actions, after posting a video of the fight in slow motion on his Instagram page. White said that he “loves it.”

White wrote, “Hockey player throwing and landing a Superman punch on skates. I LOVE IT!!!!”

Here’s another video of the quick scuffle between two hockey players (not in slow motion). But don’t blink or you might miss the fight…

Props to “The Guy” Roman Reigns for possibly providing the inspiration for such a heavy hit. Damn, Gudas was definitely feeling it in the morning…

Jordana Grolnick Photos: Must-See Pictures of George H.W. Bush Accuser

$

Jordana Grolnick, a New York City actress from Colorado, has become the second woman after Heather Lind to come out with allegations of sexual misconduct against former President George H.W. Bush.

Grolnick accused the 93-year-old former president of telling her a sexually-suggestive joke before squeezing her but while they took a photograph together.

According to Deadspin, Grolnick said the incident took place last year while she was part of a production in Maine. The allegations come a day after Turn: Washington’s Spies actress Heather Lind accused the 41st President of similar misconduct.

Lind also alleged that President Bush grabbed her by the buttocks during a photo-op.

via Deadspin:

In August 2016, Grolnick was working at a Maine production of Hunchback of Notre Dame. The former president, who summers in nearby Kennebunkport and frequents this theater, caught a performance. He came backstage during an intermission, she says, and she and the rest of the cast gathered for a photo with him. Grolnick now says that other actors had told her before the photo that Bush had a reputation for fondling during photo ops, but she didn’t take it seriously.

“We all circled around him and Barbara for a photo, and I was right next to him,” she says. “He reached his right hand around to my behind, and as we smiled for the photo he asked the group, ‘Do you want to know who my favorite magician is?’ As I felt his hand dig into my flesh, he said, ‘David Cop-a-Feel!’”

Grolnick says others in the room “laughed politely and out of discomfort.” Former first lady Barbara Bush was among those nearby. “[She] said something along the lines of, ‘He’s going to get himself put into jail!’ to which we laughed harder,” Grolnick says.

A representative for former President Bush released a statement about the allegations on the President’s behalf:

“At age 93, President Bush has been confined to a wheelchair for roughly five years, so his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures. To try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke — and on occasion, he has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner. Some have seen it as innocent; others clearly view it as inappropriate. To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologizes most sincerely.”

Grolnick has been a professional theatre actress since graduating from the University of Michigan in 2015.

Born in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, Teller graduated from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, of which he still has student debt from.

Teller appeared in several short films and television movies before making his feature film debut in Rabbit Hole. He had supporting roles in Footloose and Project X, before garnering rave reviews for his leading performances as Sutter Keely in The Spectacular Now and as Andrew Neiman in Whiplash. He has since starred in Fantastic Four as Mister Fantastic, War Dogs opposite Jonah Hill, and boxing biopic Bleed for This.


Miles Teller Net Worth 2017: $4 million

On his way to becoming a bonafide A-list actor, Miles Teller has a current approximate net worth of $4 million. As recently as 2015, Teller was still paying off student loans from NYU.


2009-2013

Before making his feature film debut Teller appeared in many short films. After graduating from Tisch School of the Arts in 2009, he made his debut in 2010’s Rabbit Hole, after Nicole Kidman handpicked him for the role. Teller appeared in the stage musical Footloose in high school. Years later, he was cast in the film remake of Footloose starring Kenny Wormald, in which he played the same character as in his high school musical.

In 2013, he starred in 21 & Over, written and directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. That year, he began reaching critical success after starring in the James Ponsoldt film, The Spectacular Now, for which he won the Dramatic Special Jury Award for Acting at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, with co-star Shailene Woodley.

Rhode Island Principal Filmed Pinning A Student To The Ground

A Providence, Rhode Island assistant principal has been placed on administrative leave pending the investigation of a physical altercation involving a student. The incident occurred at Central High School in Providence, Rhode Island.

In one incident which was caught on camera, Assistant Principal Thomas E. Bacon was recorded pinning a male student to the floor in the cafeteria. In the background, other students surrounded Bacon, with one person shouting, “Tell him to get off!”

The student in the video his 15-year-old Amare Pemberton. Pemberton was charged with two counts of simple assault. Meanwhile, no charges have been filed against Bacon.

Principal Bacon told authorities that he was attempting to escort a Pemberton from the cafeteria because he had cut in line. Bacon says at this point that Pemberton began pushing his way past other students. “I tried to gently guide [the student], who then dropped his bag and raised his clenched fists,” Bacon said.

via Providence Journal:

According to the police report, Bacon said the student “began throwing punches and elbows toward Mr. Scott and myself and yelling, ’Touch me again boy … you’ll be face down. … I’ll clock you.”

Bacon told the police that he tried to restrain the student but the youth continued to resist and they both fell to the floor. But Amare’s mother, Jennifer Pemberton, 43, of Providence, said Bacon kept grabbing her son’s arm.

“The next thing you know, he tackled him,” Pemberton said, referring to Bacon. “He was choking my son. He put a knee on my son’s chest. In the video, everyone can see my son wasn’t being combative.”

Pemberton acknowledges, however, that her son struck Bacon in an attempt to get the principal off of him. Two students from Central High School — who identified themselves as Taylon Rodriguez, 17, and Alex Sanchez, 16 — told a version similar to Amare’s.

The Providence Public School District released a statement regarding Bacon/Pemberton incident:

“Public Schools were alarmed and dismayed by the physical altercation in the cafeteria at Central High School on Monday involving a student and an assistant principal,’ it read. ‘The district immediately contacted the police and put the assistant principal on administrative leave, pending a personnel review. Additionally, the school district has explicitly requested that police investigate the incident in its entirety.”

The Providence Student Union, a local student activist group, called for Bacon’s firing and demanded a public apology from Central High School. In a public statement, the activist group said they want the administration to take steps to prevent similar incidents from happening.

Kansas City Lawyer Gunned Down Outside Of His Home By Defendant In Previous Case

Tom Pickert, a 39-year-old Kansas City attorney, was shot and killed while sitting on his front porch after he returned from walking his children to school. Pickert was found shot to death outside of his Brookside, Missouri home around 8AM on Wednesday, October 25.

According to authorities, the shooting was not random. Witnesses say they saw the killer flee the scene in a white 1997 Chevrolet van. The gunman’s vehicle was found abandoned later that afternoon. Police are still looking for the shooter.

The white 1997 Chevy van seen fleeing the scene is registered to a man named David Jungerman.

Pickert was shot outside of his Brookside, Missouri home in the 200 block of West 66th Terrace. His wife was home at the time the shooting occurred.

via Fox 4 KC:

In 2012, Jungerman shot two homeless men who he said broke into his business on Belmont near St. John. No criminal charges were filed, but one of those men lost his leg, sued Jungerman in civil court, and won about $6 million in compensatory and punitive damages.

Tom Pickert was one of the attorneys representing the homeless man in that civil case. Police have not said if they believe Jungerman was driving the van or if it was someone else who was driving Jungerman’s van.

Jungerman was a defendant in a case that Pickert recently tried. Pickert, who was a personal injury attorney at Fowler Pickert, LLC had represented a homeless man who was suing Jungerman for shooting him and causing him to have part of his leg amputated.

In the case, attorneys said Jungerman grabbed an AK-47 and handgun and headed to his property without calling the police. Jungerman then shot Jeffery Harris in the back of the leg without warning.

Pickert helped Harris win the case, with Jungerman being ordered to pay $5,750,000.

Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office

Alfred Dupree, 17, of Acworth, Georgia and Victoria McCurley, 17, of Woodstock, Georgia were arrested on Wednesday, October 25, after the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office said they planned to attack Etowah High School. The two Cherokee County high school students will face a judge on Thursday, October 26 for allegedly planning to bomb their high school.

When authorities searched Dupree’s home, they found a journal which revealed his plot with McCurley and a list of his of targets.

Dupree and McCurley face charges including criminal attempt to commit murder, criminal attempt to commit arson, terroristic threats and acts, and possession and/or transportation of destructive device/explosive with intent to kill, injure or destroy any public building.

Both teens are being charged as adults.

via Fox 5 Atlanta:

Cherokee County Sheriff’s investigators said someone reported the possible plot to the school tip line Monday evening. Police followed up by executing search warrants on the homes of both students.

Wednesday night, neighbor Christina Sovine told FOX 5 News she saw a lot of police cars outside Dupree’s home Monday. She said she grew up with Dupree and they have been close friends since they were in elementary school.

“He likes to play video games, he’s very into video games. His entire family, his dad, stepmother and sister are all very sweet, this is really surprising,” said Sovine.

Parents of students at the school said it was terrifying. One mom said they were pleased the person who found the journal took it seriously enough to notify police.

Before being arrested and charged, Dupree and McCurley were taken for a medical assessment.

Authorities secured a search warrant for both students’ homes. At McCurley’s house, they found a flammable incendiary device. At Dupree’s house, along with his personal journal detailing the plan, police found firearms and a powdered substance.

Robert Horn, the principal at Etowah High School, sent a letter home to parents following the arrest of Dupree and McCurley, saying there are no other suspects and no active threat against the school at this time.

Dear Parents/Students:

This is to advise that the Cherokee County School District (CCSD) Police Department and Cherokee Sheriff’s Office were notified by a community member of a potential threat on Etowah HS. Immediate action and investigation began, and, as a result, two students are currently in custody. At this time there are no other suspects and no active threat against Etowah HS.

The safety and security of all students and staff members is of utmost importance and CCSD will continue to partner with the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office throughout the conclusion of the investigation to insure that this is the case. I will continue to keep you in the loop in this regard. Any threat on school safety/security will not be tolerated and as such these students will also face severe disciplinary action, as well as any applicable criminal charges.

Respectfully,

Robert Horn EHS Principal
Cherokee County School District

Take A Guess How Marshawn Lynch Is Spending His One-Game Suspension

This right here is why everyone loves Marshawn Lynch. In fact, him posting this video to Instagram is maybe the least-Marshawn thing Beast Mode has ever done — usually, he likes to move in silence like lasagna (shout out Weezy).

During the Thursday Night Football game against Kansas City, Lynch ran onto the field from the sideline during a skirmish between the Raiders and Chiefs, eventually making contact with a referee. Whether it was intentional or not is unclear, but regardless, the move earned Beast Mode one-game suspension, a suspension he will serve this week as his Oakland Raiders take on the Buffalo Bills.

But just because Marshawn is serving a one-week NFL suspension, does not mean he’s serving any type of football suspension. In classic Beast Mode-form, a recent Instagram video shows Lynch in pads, playing running back at some random college somewhere, mowing over innocent 20-somethings left and right.

Stranger Things’ second season is coming out this Friday, and while we can’t make the wait for fans any less strenuous, or shorter for that matter, we can appease your appetite with a cast gallery. Let’s not kid ourselves, people, characters guides are the reason websites like TV Tropes and Wikis exist…you just can’t get enough!

Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown)

Eleven’s mysterious and powerful character is brought to life by Millie Bobby Brown, who was willing to shave her head to play the character. Her sacrifice for her craft really shows what a powerhouse Brown is. I could go more into her character, but I don’t want to spoil the show for anyone who hasn’t seen it.


Mike (Finn Wolfhard)

As one of the main characters, Finn Wolfhard’s character, Mike, takes it on himself and his friends to help find their missing friend, Will, using Eleven’s help.



Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo)

Unlike his character on the show, Gaten Matarazzo doesn’t always wear Dustin’s iconic hat. Regardless, with or without it, Dustin’s helped become one of the most iconic parts of the show.


Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin)

Another one of the missing Will’s friends, and one of the more pragmatic kids of the group, Lucas is brought to life by Caleb McLaughlin. Lucas is associated with red clothing on the show, but Caleb is more willing to wear a suit and tie.


Will (Noah Schnapp)

Will going missing is, of course, a major plot point of the show, but his actor, Noah Schnapp, isn’t going away anytime soon.


Joyce (Winona Ryder)

Just yesterday, we covered the life and times of Winona Ryder. Her biggest claim to fame just yet might be playing Joyce Byers, the mother of Will, on the show. Getting into the role, she once reportedly cried for 10 hours while in character, according to Vanity Fair

If you want to make a splash, you go to Vegas–that’s just Marketing 101. For Unrivaled Tabletop Series 2017, it wasn’t enough for them to be the world’s largest tabletop gaming series, they needed to take it to the next level. So Unrivaled decided to bring the best gamers in the country to Las Vegas, hire actor Wil Wheaton and comedian Bryan Callen to host, and give the Grand Prize Winners some serious cash. The event will be hosted at the Jubilee Theatre at Bally’s from October 28th-October 29th.

We’ve been covering the Unrivaled Tabletop Series for some time here at COED, specifically the regional qualifiers. For the past year, Unrivaled has been going to the biggest cities in North America and finding the best tabletop gamers in some of the most popular games: King of Tokyo, Munchkin, Ascension, Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards, Nevermore, and Villagers & Villains. But now the best of the best will go head-to-head in Vegas.

The qualifying winners are being flown out to Sin City, hosted at Paris Las Vegas, and being wined and dined at a VIP Halloween party before things begin to get serious on October 28th.

Are we fully expecting some of the winners to go off and blow their Grand Prize at the poker or roulette table? Absolutely. But that’s what happens when you go to Vegas. Take your winnings, double-down on some other game, and hope to come out on top.

If you weren’t able to qualify for the Unrivaled Tournament yourself, you can still watch the action by grabbing yourself a ticket here.

  2. 2nd place: $5,000
  3. 3rd place: $2,500
  4. 4th place: $1,000

Karen Avrich, an author, is the long-time partner and girlfriend of disgraced former MSNBC political analyst Mark Halperin. While Avrich and Halperin are not married, the two have been together for some time and have a child together, who was born in January 2017.

On October 26, 2017, five separate women accused Halperin, a journalist and author of Game Change, of sexual harassment.

According to various reports, the five accusers described instances in which Halperim propositioned an ABC employee for sex, and forcibly kissed and grabbed the breasts of another, among other allegations.

Halperin released a statement to CNN regarding the accusations:

“During this period, I did pursue relationships with women that I worked with, including some junior to me. I now understand from these accounts that my behavior was inappropriate and caused others pain. For that, I am deeply sorry and I apologize. Under the circumstances, I’m going to take a step back from my day-to-day work while I properly deal with this situation.”

As a writer, Halperin is the co-author of Game Change and Double Down: Game Change 2012. Both Halperin and John Heilemann were co-hosts of MSNBC and Bloomberg’s With All Due Respect, a political analysis show.

Halperin also produced and co-starred in Showtime’s The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth, following the presidential candidates behind the scenes of their campaigns in the 2016 United States Presidential Election.

After allegations were made about his workplace conduct, he was effectively suspended by NBC News in late October 2017.

Our friends over at AskMen hosted a study with their guyQ test, where they asked over 21,400 men questions all about dating, grooming, style, and, everyone’s favorite buzzword, “adulting,” between September 27 and October 18. Let’s look at where today’s average man, as AskMen put it, “nailed” & “failed.”

Ladies: If your man waited a day to talk to you, it’s really him, not you.

32% of men said they think that they need to wait at least 24 hours before contacting a girl after a date. In other words, ladies, do not worry if Mr. Tall, Dark & Handsome takes his time; just blame it all on protocol. Alternatively, be upfront about your desires to Skype in-between dates.”I think a lot of guys are still stuck in the old mode, but with texting and DMing and dating apps, the idea that you have to wait to message someone you’re into is so outdated,” explained AskMen Dating Editor Alex Manley (whose in the right business with a name like that), adding “Our take is that life’s too short to play games. The sooner you figure out if there’s a real connection or not, the better.”

How much money should you spend on that special ring?

A good quarter, 25%, of men also think they need to spend three months of their salary on an engagement ring. That said, it can probably save a man some toil if his spouse-to-be lets him know what she actually wants in a ring; diamonds might be Marilyn Monroe’s best friends, but Ms. Monroe was one in a million. As Manley added, “Your main concerns should be figuring out what type of ring your spouse-to-be wants, and then making that work within your budget.” Besides, there are bound to be people who’d be touched to wear your dead grandmother’s ring.

Don’t share things that are not meant to be shared

Nudes, Privacy

Another scary statistic is that 6% of men said that they thought it was alright to take a screenshot of a nude pic. Keep in mind, that 6% involved 1,288 guys. So, always remember to be careful with what you share with people online. Manley called out this behavior, saying, “Guys need to remember that if someone chooses to share something private like a nude in a way that’s set to disappear, that means they don’t want you to have a permanent copy…Trying to get around that is deeply not OK. Instead, pay them a compliment, tell them they look nice — and don’t wait 24 hours.”

There’s still some good news about the average man…

Men, Cook

Still, we’re told that many good behaviors are the norm when it comes to today’s challenging dating world. Nearly 100% of men knew to break up in person (95%) and to cook for their dates (96%), so there’s hope for the species.

You can see the whole graph for yourself, where today’s men “nailed” & “failed”

Damn, I thought that button thing would have a larger number.
