AP Hear those footsteps, Rihanna? Thats the sound of a 266-pound defensive end coming to sweep you off your feet. Or something along those lines. According to Josh Kendall of The State (h/t Kenley Young of Fox Sports), Jadeveon Clowney has developed a sizable crush on the 26-year-old pop singer. Clowney revealed his desires at a predraft event in New York City on Wednesday when reporters inquired if he had a celebrity crush. So be warned, Rihanna. Clowney is coming to sack you in the backfield. Were talking a huge loss, here. This may come as ominous news to Drake, Rihannas supposed/purported/implied boyfriend. Young agrees that there are a few men in line ahead of the defensive end. It is unclear how Chris Brown and/or Drake may feel about this development, Young writes. But any guy who has a problem with Clowney's crush may just want to go ahead and keep quiet about it anyway.
Jesse D. Garrabrant/Getty Images Indeed, you couldnt stack enough Drakes horizontally to keep Clowney from Rihanna. Its not physically possible, even for a man so large and visible in the media. As the projected No. 1 overall draft pick, Clowney is in for a big payday and more media attention than ever this fall. Whether thats of any consequence to someone like Rihannawell, I have no idea. What I do know is, 90 percent of the male population is seeking the singers attention, and Clowney could flatten, stomp and hammer toss the rest of us out of the way at a moments notice. Youve been warned, Rihanna. Clowney is coming for you.
The seven-day forecast for Drake's diary? Rain. Opinion: Clowney is on the lookout for news about Rihanna since sometime declare to like this great singer, this is good because it makes Rihanna know what you feel and know Rihanna suitor assess it, the singer despite his cute you are very beautiful and anyone would date her. News tem: How Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook learned to trust their teammates PLUTIS.COM MAYO 10, 2014 0
By Marc J. Spears/Yahoo Sports - LOS ANGELES Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scottie Brooks met with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook individually at the end of last season and gave them the same message: Trust your teammates more. He told his two stars the same thing at the start of this season, saying no matter how great they are, they wont be successful without the help of their teammates. I told them that we have to make another jump with our team passing and that it starts with the two of them, Brooks told Yahoo Sports. We are still a work in progress, but made a jump this year. Durant and Westbrook showed how they have grown and listened to their coachs advice during the Thunders 118-112 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers in Game 3 of their second round playoff series. Durant had a game-high 36 points while Westbrook nearly had his second straight triple-double with 23 points, 13 assists and eight rebounds. But it was the contributions of their teammates that ultimately won the game and gave OKC a 2-1 series lead: Serge Ibaka had 20 points and six rebounds. Reggie Jackson and Caron Butler both added 14 points off the bench. The supporting cast also made key shots late in the fourth quarter. Weve grown leaps and bounds from where were before, Durant said. Said Westbrook: Great teams stick together. The Thunder made it to the NBA Finals two years ago before losing to the Miami Heat. Last season, Westbrooks knee injury in the first round of the playoffs played a big role in the Thunder being eliminated in the second round. Inexperience, injuries and, yes, selfishness were often cited as reasons why the Thunder couldnt get over the hump. Perhaps the biggest growing pains for Durant and Westbrook was they didnt totally trust their teammates. They are trying to find that balance, forward Nick Collison said. We need them to be aggressive. We need them to score for sure. But I think they are starting to find out the best way for us to play and the best way for us to win. Thunder veteran guard Derek Fisher had seen this before with two young star teammates in Kobe Bryant and Shaquille ONeal with the Los Angeles Lakers. But Bryant and ONeal shined while also trusting their teammates enough to win three straight championships from 2000-02. While Durant and Westbrook are close and dont have the same level of friction Bryant and ONeal did, Fisher does see some similarities. That goes for all of the greats, Fisher said. What makes them great is the supreme confidence they have in themselves, which seems abnormal or uncanny or unfair at times. But that is what really separates them from everybody else. They have the physical gifts of a great athlete, but mentally and psychologically they believe they are the best in the world. So sometimes it takes longer for a certain amount of trust in other people to develop. But I think these guys have been great as theyve grown up in their 20s, giving more and more rope to other guys on the team and really allowing our team to grow and mature. Durant was forced to do that this season when Westbrook was sidelined. Durant provided much of the needed scoring to make up for Westbrooks absence, but Jackson played so well he became a candidate for the NBAs Sixth Man of the Year award. Ibaka continued to show he was one of the NBAs best defensive players. Were just trusting each other, Jackson said. Weve been through a few things since the loss of Russ last year. Westbrook has been criticized for sometimes focusing too much on his own scoring, but he learned a lot during his absence, saying he now has a better idea where his teammates like the ball. Jackson said the Thunders supporting cast was able to grow their confidence when they continued to win without Westbrook. Signing Butler late in the season also added a trusted veteran scorer to the roster. Weve been a lot better than in the past passing the ball, Collison said. We still have our moments where we struggle in that area. But I think those guys, with some maturity, are seeing that its necessary in the game. The game is easier for them if we move the ball, get the defense moving and not allow the defense to key on those two guys. The Thunder entered the fourth quarter in Game 3 down 90-86 to the Clippers. Durant had 29 points through three quarters while Westbrook had 17 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds. The expectation was Durant and Westbrook would take over offensively in the fourth quarter for the Thunder to win. Butler, however, was the leading scorer for the Thunder in the quarter with nine points, including a 3-pointer on a pass from Durant with 5:52 left to give OKC the lead for good. Ibakas put-back dunk with four minutes left extended that lead. And Jackson made four free throws in the final 22.7 seconds to close out the victory. Russ and Kevin play hard on offense and attack on offense and pass when youre open, Ibaka said. That gives everybody confidence. Last year was last year. This year they are getting better and learning the game better offensively and [passing] when Im open, Thabo or whoever. They pass the right pass. Durant and Westbrook combined for 54 points while no other Thunder player scored over 12 in a 122-105 loss in Game 1 to the Clippers. Durant and Westbrook combined for 63 points, 19 assists and 22 rebounds in a 112-101 Game 2 victory over the Clippers, but Clippers coach Doc Rivers expressed concern about the Thunders supporting cast playing a key role in that victory. OKCs role players again contributed in Game 3. All of them played well, Rivers said. In Oklahoma City, every billboard and ad about the Thunder is team oriented. There is nothing that portrays only Durant, this seasons MVP, or Westbrook. Its the policy of Thunder general manager Sam Presti. Durant and Westbrook also appear to have bought into that team-is-everything belief. We play hard and believe in each other, Durant said. We believe anything can happen. What happened? The Oklahoma City Thunder coach Scottie Brooks met with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook at the end of last season, told his two stars that no matter how good they are, will not succeed without the help of his teammates. Who? Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook Where? in Thunder 118-112 victory over Clippers in Game 3 of their second round playoff series. The result: Durant and Russell learned to trust his teammates. Important details: All played well, all belief. "We played hard and believe in themselves," Durant said. "We believe that anything can happen." Letter:

Thats all my news. Write to me soon. Best wishes, Sarai Essay about taking care of the environment: Getting a new global deal on climate change Hacia un nuevo pacto mundial sobre el cambio climtico EU foresees major role for carbon trading in efforts to tackle climate change. La UE apuesta por el comercio de derechos de emisin para combatir el cambio climtico. In a paper outlining its position ahead of international climate talks, the commission says the costs of containing global warming are likely to soar in years to come - adding 175bn to the world's annual bill by 2020. More than half that amount will be needed in developing countries like China and India. En un documento sobre su posicin ante las prximas negociaciones internacionales acerca del clima, la Comisin advierte de la probabilidad de que en los prximos aos se disparen los costes de contener el calentamiento global. La factura podra aumentar en 175 000 millones de euros al ao para 2020, ms de la mitad de los cuales seran necesarios en pases en desarrollo como China y la India. The EU and other economic powers should help defray the costs of reducing greenhouse gases emitted by developing nations. La UE, al igual que las dems potencias econmicas, debe contribuir a sufragar los costes de reducir las emisiones de gases de invernadero de estos pases. The paper presents various options for increasing international funding - Para incrementar la financiacin internacional, el documento plantea una including requiring countries to contribute according to their income and level of emissions. Another option would be to auction some emission allowances on a carbon market. serie de opciones, entre ellas la de pedir a cada pas una contribucin acorde con sus ingresos y su nivel de emisiones. Otra sera la de subastar derechos de emisin en un mercado del carbono. In return, all developing nations - except the very poorest - should limit growth in emissions by adopting development strategies that produce fewer greenhouse gases. These strategies should include curbing tropical deforestation, as trees and plants absorb carbon dioxide. A cambio, todos los pases en desarrollo - excepto los ms pobres - tendran que limitar el aumento de sus emisiones adoptando estrategias de desarrollo que originasen menos gases de invernadero. Tambin tendran que frenar la deforestacin tropical, dado que rboles y plantas absorben dixido de carbono. The EU has already taken bold action of its own to tackle climate change, taking steps to scale back emissions. Now it is keen to build on that success at the talks in Copenhagen in December. The UN is organising the conference for the purpose of securing a new and more ambitious global commitment to tackling climate change. The current treaty - the Kyoto Protocol - expires at the end of 2012. La UE, que ya ha adoptado ambiciosas medidas de reduccin de emisiones, quiere que ese xito sirva de base para las negociaciones que tendrn lugar en diciembre de este ao en Copenhague. Las Naciones Unidas organizan la conferencia con el objetivo de lograr un nuevo y ms audaz compromiso mundial de lucha contra el cambio climtico. El Tratado vigente (Protocolo de Kioto) expira a finales de 2012. The EU will urge developed countries to commit to an overall 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 (compared with 1990 levels). The contribution would vary by country, depending on income, population, level of emissions and past efforts to reduce emissions. Compliance should be monitored and enforced. La UE instar a los pases desarrollados a comprometerse a una reduccin global del 30% de sus emisiones de gases de invernadero en 2020 (con respecto a los niveles de 1990), contribucin que variar en funcin de los ingresos, poblacin, nivel de emisiones y anteriores esfuerzos de reduccin de emisiones de cada uno. Habr normas para supervisar y garantizar que los compromisos se cumplan. The commission also foresees a major role for emissions trading, and will seek to build a global carbon market. A growing number of countries including the US, New Zealand and Australia are looking to set up schemes similar to the; EU carbon market introduced in 2005. The scheme caps overall CO2 emissions, but allows businesses to buy and sell credits amongst themselves. Pero la Comisin tambin cree que el comercio de derechos de emisin desempear un papel importante e impulsar un mercado mundial del carbono. Cada vez hay ms pases que, como los Estados Unidos, Nueva Zelanda y Australia, planean introducir mecanismos similares al rgimen de comercio de emisiones que la UE cre en 2005. El rgimen pone un lmite a las emisiones de CO2, pero permite que las empresas compren y vendan entre s derechos de emisin. As some climate change is inevitable, the Copenhagen agreement should also provide a framework to help countries adapt. And it should ensure support for poor nations vulnerable to extreme weather such as drought, storms and floods. En cualquier caso, el cambio climtico es en mayor o menor medida inevitable, y todos los pases tendrn que adaptarse. El Acuerdo de Copenhague debe crear un marco que les ayude y garantizar el apoyo a los ms pobres y vulnerables en caso de condiciones meteorolgicas extremas (como sequas, tormentas e inundaciones). The commission's proposals, tabled on 28 January, will be discussed by European leaders and lawmakers in the months to come. Los lderes y legisladores europeos debatirn a lo largo de los prximos meses sobre estas propuestas, que la Comisin present el 28 de enero.

Ricitos de oro Autor: En un bosque florido y frondoso vivan tres ositos, un pap, una mam y el pequeo osito. Un da, tras hacer todas las camas, limpiar la casa y hacer la sopa para la cena, los tres ositos fueron a pasear por el bosque para que el pequeo osito pudiera jugar y respirar aire puro. De repente, apareci una nia muy bien vestida llamada Ricitos de Oro. Cuando vio la casita de los tres ositos, se asom a la ventana y le pareci muy curioso lo ordenada y coqueta que tenan la casa. A Ricitos de Oro se le olvidaron los modales que su mam le haba inculcado y decidi entrar en la casita de los tres ositos. "Oh! Qu casita ms bonita! Qu limpia y ordenada tienen la casa la gente que vive aqu!". Mientras iba observando todo lo que haba en la casa comenz a sentir hambre, ya que le vino un olor muy sabroso a sopa. "Mmm...! Qu hambre me ha entrado! Voy a ver que tendrn para cenar." Fue hacia la mesa y vio que haba tres tazones. Un tazn pequeo, uno ms grande y otro ms y ms grande que los otros dos anteriores. Ricitos de Oro sigui sin acordarse de los modales que su mam le haba enseado y en vez de esperar a que los tres ositos volvieran a la casita y le invitaran a tomar un poco de la sopa que haban preparado, se lanz directamente a probarla. Comenz por el tazn ms grande, pero al probarlo, la sopa estaba demasiado caliente. Entonces pas al tazn mediano y al probarlo, la sopa estaba demasiado fra, pasndose a probar el tazn ms pequeo que estaba como a ella le gustaba. "Est en su punto", dijo la nia. Cuando acab la sopa se subi a la silla ms grandota pero estaba demasiado dura y se pas a la otra silla ms mediana comprobando que estaba demasiado blanda, y entonces decidi sentarse en la silla ms pequea que estaba ni muy dura ni muy blanda; era comodsima. Pero la sillita estaba acostumbrada al peso tan ligero del osito y poco a poco el asiento fue cediendo y se rompi. Cuando Ricitos de Oro se levant del suelo, subi a la habitacin de los tres ositos y comenz a probar las tres camas. Prob la cama grande pero estaba demasiado alta. Despus prob la cama mediana pero estaba demasiado baja y por fin prob la cama pequea que era tan mullidita y cmoda que se qued totalmente dormida. Mientras Ricitos de Oro dorma profundamente, llegaron los tres ositos a la casa y nada ms entrar el oso grande vio cmo su cuchara estaba dentro del tazn y dijo con su gran voz: "Alguien ha probado mi sopa!". Y mam oso tambin vio su cuchara dentro del tazn y dijo: "Alguien ha probado tambin mi sopa!". Y el osito pequeo dijo con voz apesadumbrada: "Alguien se ha tomado mi sopa y se la ha comido toda entera!". Despus pasaron al saln y dijo pap oso: "Alguien se ha sentado en mi silla!". Y mam oso dijo: "Alguien se ha sentado tambin en mi silla!". Y el pequeo osito dijo con su voz aflautada: "Alguien se ha sentado en mi sillita y adems me la ha roto!". Al ver que all no haba nadie, subieron a la habitacin para ver si el ladrn de su comida se encontraba todava en el interior de la casa. Al entrar en la habitacin, pap oso dijo: "Alguien se ha acostado en mi cama!". Y mam eso exclam: "Alguien se ha acostado en mi cama tambin!". Y el osito pequeo dijo: "Alguien se ha acostado en ella...!". Ricitos de Oro, mientras dorma crea que la voz fuerte que haba escuchado y que era pap oso, haba sido un trueno, y que la voz de mam oso haba sido una voz que la hablaba en sueos pero la voz aflautada del osito la despert. De un salto se sent en la cama mientras los osos la observaban, y salt hacia el otro lado saliendo por la ventana corriendo sin parar un solo instante, tanto, tanto que no daban los pies en el suelo. Desde ese momento, Ricitos de Oro nunca volvi a entrar en casa de nadie ajeno sin pedir permiso primero.
