Rockets’ James Harden on injury to both eyes: ‘I could barely see’ | Lug Link

A clear runner-up for 1987 is now-legendary instigator Marley Marl. A year before the Juice Crew founder earned his crown by giving hip-hop “The Symphony” and debut albums by Big Daddy Kane and Biz Markie, he was the man behind Heavy D’s street breakout hit “The Overweight Lover’s in the House” and Kool G Rap’s B-side PSA “Rikers Island.” Most significantly, he was a contributor to one of the decade’s greatest rap albums, Eric B & Rakim’s Paid In Full. While the Roxanne Wars were running out of steam, Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor saw an opportunity to season the gender beef with Salt-N-Pepa. Powered by broad ears, the Haitian Brooklynite gave us tracks that were as fresh as they were refreshing—most notably, “Push It.” Meanwhile, up in Mount Vernon, Heavy D’s DJ Eddie F was coming into his own as the soon-to-be “untouchable” composer manned the lion’s share of the production on Heav’s debut, Livin’ Large. —Bonsu Thompson

Over time, Gore engineers became mad rolfers of ePTFE, perfecting a set of esoteric techniques to tune its molecular structure and, thereby, its capabilities. They learned how to make it stronger, or thinner, or as pillowy as meringue. They combined it with other polymers to make a fabric that allowed hazmat suits to vent heat and perspiration. They adjusted its pore size so it could hold particles of mercury-trapping carbon for Gore-brand smokestack filters. They created stents and surgical patches, high-tension ropes for deep-water oil rigs, and premium dental floss (a silky tendril marketed as Glide). The company grew and grew, crossing $1 billion in revenue in 1996, $2 billion in 2007, and $3 billion in 2012. Today it’s at $3.7 billion.

Next month, we review destructive tests on ratchet strap units by pulling them to failure. As they fail, we see what the weak link of a tie down ratchet strap unit really is.

The transaction is the first major deal for Takeda since Chief Executive Officer Christophe Weber said in January that the Japanese company plans to move quickly on disposals to reduce debt after its $62 billion takeover of Shire.

However, here are  a few of the key points for anyone wondering why Bitcoin is so hotly championed by those in the know to eventually replace gold.

He led us to the back of the building and suddenly, I was standing next to my wide-eyed 9-year-old son, on Tom Petty’s tour bus, holding a guitar I built for him. A moment later, Tom emerged, with his wife, Dana, right behind him. He was larger than life (but actually shorter than I expected; onstage he looks 10 feet tall).

Following an animated travelogue that establishes the distances between the island of Lampedusa and the Italian and African mainlands, Ccà Semu/Here We Are provides a snapshot of everyday life for the natives who suddenly found themselves on the frontline of the migrant crisis following the Arab Spring, when 11-12,000 fugitives landed either under their own steam or after being rescued by the coastguard. It’s clear that not all of the interviewees regard the ongoing situation with sanguinity, as the influx impacted upon the tourist trade on which the islanders depend since the decline of the fishing industry. But, while there is a hint of xenophobia in some of the comments, the frustration is directed more at the authorities in Sicily and Rome than the Africans who wander the streets waiting to be moved on to their next port of call. 

"I understand that it’s a tourist attraction obviously, that’s important.  But I do think that the number-one priority should be preserving nature, as long as we’re not perturbing anything that’s been here, I can’t really see how it would hurt," Halverson said.

Mr. Jimmy Once upon a time, a lad wandered into a movie theater in Tokyo and came across the concert movie The Song Remains the Same. He was fascinated this band named Led Zeppelin — and particularly struck by the group’s flamboyant guitarist. Listen: Maybe you really dig Jimmy Page. You still probably don’t love him as much as Akio Sakurai, who — flash-forward to years later — has transformed himself into “Mr. Jimmy,” a virtuoso who’s taught himself how to play every single song in the Zeppelin catalog. He obsessively replicates not just Page’s sound and fashion style (yes, of course he’s tailored his own Song-era dragon suit) but every single nuance of the bootlegged live performances as well; he can tell you the difference between a 1969 live version of Dazed and Confused and ’77 arrangement. Then one night Page comes into the club where the Japanese guitarist is doing his tribute act. The real deal compliments the fidelity to each bent note and one-off flourish. And in an instant, everything changes.
