A Life Set in Stone
Sculptor Adam Henein, who set up the annual Aswan International Sculpture Symposium, is himself a part of Egyptian history.
Brazilian ambassador to Egypt Elim Dutra may take a well-earned rest. After 45 days of intense physical labor devoted to the completion of another granite statue in his "The Boss" series, Dutra is now waiting for the opening of the 11th edition of the Aswan International Sculpture Symposium in Egypt, slated to remain open until April 20.
Dutra is one of dozens of sculptors, architects, painters, and politicians who will attend the symposium founded and commissioned by celebrated Egyptian sculptor Adam Henein. Henein, 77, is still sculpting in stone and painting in the studio of his expansive home designed by Egyptian architect Ramses Wissa Wasef in the 1960s. (Wasef is best known for establishing and building the Harraniya Community Center in the village outside Cairo, an arts and crafts center which brought Egyptian rugs to the attention of the world and taught hundreds of Egyptian children the arts of spinning and weaving.)
Henein's life is itself a chapter in Egyptian history. He grew up in a period considered liberal in which intellectuals, such as Taha Hussein, played important roles in the Egyptian government and art was not yet enlisted to serve the nation. His father was an uneducated silversmith and Henein was first exposed to art on a field trip when he was an elementary school pupil in the Fagala neighborhood of Cairo.
In interviews with the press, Henein says he first encountered sculpture when he received the gift of an album of photographs of ancient Egyptian sculpture presented by Etienne Drioton, the last French director of the Department of Antiquities in the Egyptian National Museum in Cairo.
Henein studied art at the University of Cairo and soon became a member of the group of intellectuals and artists that faithfully supported the regime of Gamal Abdel Nasser until the defeat of Egypt by Israel in 1967. Many intellectuals then turned to religion, others changed their political beliefs, and Henein decided to travel to France to study and enjoy a change of atmosphere. He intended to stay in France for a year and return to Egypt, but his stay was extended and he turned to "quick painting" for tourists to earn a living.
Only a few years later, his work appeared in important exhibitions in Europe and it was 25 years before he returned to Egypt. After Hosni Mubarak became president of Egypt, Henein accepted an invitation from his friend, Egypt's minister of culture, Farouk Hosni, to return to Cairo to participate in the restoration of the Sphinx.
Henein's critics call him a sculptor "in service of the state" - a derogatory term attached to intellectuals and artists who engage in mutually dependent relations, who maintain a close and faithful association with the government, and receive honors, money and desirable locations in which to exhibit their work.
Two tracks
In Egypt, there are two tracks of art: the government track, which provides artists with public assistance, excellent working conditions, exposure and public relations; and the private track, in which there is no public funding and artists are forced support their own activities.
The first track demands the artist be loyal or, at least, toe the official line, and exercise restraint in criticism of the state, while private artists may occasionally be exposed to a surprise visit from a government agent who confiscates work or warns the artist against further departures.
Henein is considered a member of the first group and it is thus no surprise that he was awarded the State Merit Prize for art which includes a cash prize of LE 100,000 from the coffers of Culture Minister Hosni. Hosni is an artist in his own right who occasionally employs the services of Egyptian embassies around the world to sell his own work. Henein and Hosni met when Hosni was the Egyptian cultural attache in Paris.
There is no question that Henein's association with the government permits him to achieve goals that other Egyptian artists wait many years to realize, or never fulfill. In addition to international exhibitions like that at the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Texas Sculpture Garden, Henein has engaged in important activity in his own country. For example, in 1996, he established the annual Aswan International Sculpture Symposium, which presents new trends in international as well as Egyptian sculpture.
The symposium includes workshops that promote the study and analysis of modern sculpture, training in new techniques, and artist-led classes for sculpture collectors. Each guest artist receives a grant of LE 5,000 (about $700) to cover his ongoing participation in the symposium. This year, the Culture Ministry decided to erect dormitories at the site for the artists and their guests and to upgrade the open museum where all of the sculpture that has been featured in the symposium during the last decade is displayed.
In addition to organizing the symposium and serving as its curator, Henein is now exhibiting new styles of sculpture that are palpably influenced by Rodin, a great deal of abstract sculpture and paintings in a technique that combines traditional materials, like natural paints, with Nubian sandstone. The paintings were inspired by his extended stay in Paris. The classic Egyptian character, usually expressed in the sculpture of Pharaonic faces of women or long, stone figures reminiscent of mummies or women whose entire bodies are swathed, is no longer present in Henein's work. One can find these displayed in the garden of his home as artifacts from a bygone era.

The HTC Desire 510 doesn't have the specs to excite committed tech fans, but it handles the basics well, has 4G LTE for superfast data speeds, and it doesn't cost the earth.
The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a budget hybrid that skips the more-common fold-back or button-clasp hinges and instead attaches its screen via a magnetic connection. It shares the same hardware limitations as other small hybrids, but can be easier to use.
This 23-inch all-in-one is built for entertainment, offering great speakers and a striking look. But the glossy, reflective display throws a wrench in the works.
Though the ZTE ZMax has some design flaws, they're minor enough to overlook if you want an incredibly inexpensive phablet off-contract.
Lollipop is a tasty update with a candy-colored, cohesive design and updated core features.
At IFA 2014, Alcatel announced a slew of midrange 4G LTE devices that come in several colors and five different sizes.
Pricing not available
Wunderlist for Windows Phone is fast, free, task-management app that works anywhere you do, and couples cross-platform support with simple collaboration tools.
The One E8 offers the high-end HTC experience in glossy colors and a plastic case, but without a unique selling point, there's little reason to buy this expensive device.
The 2015 Hyundai Genesis sedan is an excellent sequel to the original, maintaining a great value for a luxury sedan while adding a host of comfort and safety amenities.
The latest in a line of sub-$500 ILC announcements this spring, Nikon's cheapest model certainly doesn't skimp on the performance specs.

Cleaning up at sites in the city after your calls about rubbish
Posted: March 26, 2013|
STEPS have been taken to tidy up a derelict site in the city after complaints to the Clean Up Derby campaign.
Alan Street called the Telegraph to complain about rubbish on two old school sites in Normanton.
He was also troubled by the boarded-up Grange Hotel on Ingleby Avenue.
The site is derelict and a hot spot for vandalism, fly-tipping and drug-dealing.

Mr Street said: "The site of the old Grange Hotel is in a shocking state. I've been watching it go downhill really badly."
The 74-year-old said: "I have lived in the area for more than 50 years and it's changed such a lot.
"There used to be gardens at the hotel and it was a nice place to live. Where do we go from here? Do we just let it carry on?"
Mr Street said he was also concerned by the old sites of Normanton Junior School, in Grange Avenue, and Sunny Hill Infant School in Blackmore Street. Both closed in 2008.
Hardyal Dhindsa, ward councillor for Normanton, said the site of the old hotel had caused the council problems for many years.
He said: "We've had issues with fly-tipping, drug-dealing and drug-taking.
"Because of these issues, we contacted the landowner and managed to negotiate a contract with them.
"They've agreed to take out a contract with cleaning and clearance company Kleensafe, which will clear the land of rubbish when it needs doing.
"Residents will inform the company when the land needs attention and it will carry out the work."
Mr Dhindsa said the company would maintain the area and ensure the hotel was boarded up.
He said: "From our point of view, it's been a successful agreement and means the area will be regularly monitored and maintained.
"Private sites are always a problem and we don't like it to get to the stage where we have to negotiate with landowners."
Mr Dhindsa also said the two school sites with which Mr Street had an issue had different owners – one the city council and one private.
Care homes are to be built in an £8 million project on the Sunny Hill Infant School site by Housing 21.
The council has put an order through for the old Normanton Junior School site to be cleaned up over the next few days.
The Clean Up Derby campaign – which wants to encourage people to take more responsibility for their rubbish – was launched in November and has highlighted several hot spots which have been cleaned up.
These include the car park of the William Caxton pub in Sunny Hill, parts of Friar Gate and a disused car park in Nightingale Road.

Symantec End Point Protection Manager Service keeps crashing error 4096 in event log
After migrating from SQL 2000 to SQL 2005 ( I followed the DR doco and removed and reinstalled EndPoint not forgetting to update the SQL 2005 tools on the server (database and SEP are on two seperate boxes ) restored the keystore and then restored the database ).
The SEP Manager service keep crash just after stating and I was getting Error 4096 in the event log. I was nott able to login to the console due to the service crashing.
Error 4096
The Java Virtual Machine has exited with a code of -1, the service is being stopped.
I found that using the sem5 database account I was not able to connect to the database ( my first thoughts are that the restore of the previous database has done something stranage to the sem5 user within the database ) . I ran the SEP management server config wizard and changed the account that was being used to connect to the database from the sem5 user to the sa account for the sql database. I can now load the console and login with the service crashing and I am not getting any errors.
Knowing how funny Symantec is I then decided to reboot the computer. I then ran the SEP management server config wizard again and configured it to use the sem5 database account again. Stranage enough it is all still working.

TORONTO — Forward Antawn Jamison has been the constant for the Washington Wizards this season, carrying the team statistically with All-Stars Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler on extended injury-induced absences and providing valuable veteran leadership.
And last night he served as the late-game catalyst for a 110-106 overtime victory against the Toronto Raptors at Air Canada Centre.
Hampered all week by a sore back that forced him to miss Thursday's practice, Jamison put the Wizards on his shoulders once again.
With the game tied 102-102 with three minutes left in overtime, Jamison came up with a steal. A minute and a half later, he pulled down a rebound and scored a layup that knotted the score at 104-104. In the last 40 seconds, Jamison went 4-for-4 from the foul line and grabbed another rebound. His play led an 8-2 run, game-clinching run that improved the Wizards' record to 30-31.
"Antawn's leadership is contagious and when you have leaders like that, guys have faith and guys believe and they want to support them, and that's what it's all about," coach Eddie Jordan said. "It's not about matchups and it's not about X's and O's when you play a game like this. It's about leadership, and digging down and believing in each other."
Jamison's teammates — particularly the younger Wizards, who played most of the fourth quarter and overtime instead of some of the usual veterans — followed his lead. Rookie Nick Young, who finished with 14 points, kept his team in the game despite third- and fourth-quarter charges by the Raptors, scoring 10 points in the fourth quarter.
Third-year big man Andray Blatche, who finished with 12 points, played the majority of the fourth quarter and overtime, hit two crucial foul shots and blocked a potential game-tying shot late in the extra period. Roger Mason Jr. came off the bench to score 18 points, including two 3-pointers in the fourth quarter.
"The most important thing is them knowing you trust them out there," Jamison said. "To have Nick out there and let him know he's playing well and when [Dominic McGuire] comes in hustling. … [Blatche] did a great job coming in and playing defensively … and offensively he did a good job. Mason came in and did a good job. And DeShawn [Stevenson] has been doing it all year."
With those efforts, the Wizards survived a see-saw second half, helped Washington avoid a repeat of their last showing here (a 39-point loss Jan. 30) and gave them their fifth win in seven games.
The score was 98-98 at the end of regulation after a fourth quarter that featured seven ties and four lead changes.
After leading 53-45 at halftime, the Wizards held a 62-53 advantage early in the third quarter. But they suddenly fell apart. Toronto orchestrated a 16-0 run to take a 69-62 lead. During the awful stretch, the Wizards missed six shots and committed three turnovers.
Blatche stopped the run with a hook shot with 2:20 left in the quarter and Jamison and Young each scored a basket, but the Raptors led 74-68 heading into the fourth quarter after outscoring the Wizards 29-15 in the third.
The Wizards fought back, however. Taking advantage of a 4½-minute stretch at the start of the fourth quarter when Jose Calderon was on the bench, the Wizards rallied to tie the game at 74-74 when Young drove coast-to coast for an acrobatic layup off the glass 2½ minutes into the fourth quarter.
"Everyone played like men out there," Jordan said. "That's what it's all about in this league. We're happy if we're winning any game. … We've been hammered up here. In pregame, we talked about just trying to have a lot of intensity, a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of belief, guard the perimeter and control the point."
Last night at Air Canada Centre in Toronto

Ben McLemore venturing into rap
When you hear the name Ben McLemore and the word mixtape used together, you might assume a YouTube highlight reel awaits: 3-pointers, drives to the rim and dunks in transition.
However, SB Nation site Sactown Royalty reports McLemore has plans for a different type of mixtape this summer. The former Kansas shooting guard wants to release a mixtape of rap tracks.
Sacramento's starting 2-guard already has two songs posted on YouTube — listen to them at SactownRoyalty.com (as long as you don't mind lyrics that would come with a PARENTAL ADVISORY label).
McLemore told SB Nation's Blake Ellington he began rapping while attending KU, in Lawrence, and he just considers it a hobby.
"I want people to hear my music to see what they think about it," McLemore said. "I've got some nice feedback."
The 6-foot-5 22-year-old certainly realizes basketball will take him farther than the rap game. He showed improvements in his second year in the league while also standing out as someone who gives back to the community.
I want to give a shout to @isgcamps for helping me out this week with my camp. It's been great the kids learned a lot, had a great time learning about the game of basketball. Also go follow @isgcamps and visit isgcamps.com to sign up for my upcoming camp in Lawrence, Kansas. #ISGCamps #benmclemore #SacramentoKings
A photo posted by Ben McLemore (@benmclemore) on Jun 10, 2015 at 2:26pm PDT
So don't wrongly assume his passion for hip-hop means he's putting hoops on the back burner.
"This upcoming year, I want to make another leap," McLemore told SB Nation. "I'm going to work hard this summer, it's just the type of player I am."
McLemore, who began playing for new Kings coach George Karl late in this past season, also said he's excited about what will be his third year in Sacramento.
"I think my skill set and his system collapse together. It fits perfect in what he's trying to do with this program," he told SB Nation.

Ben McLemore shows improvement in Year 2, and stands out in community
It can't be easy playing for the Sacramento Kings right now.
An afterthought of an NBA franchise since the early 2000's and the glory days of Chris Webber and Mike Bibby, the Kings haven't reached the playoffs since 2006. They went through another lackluster season (29-53) in 2014-15, marred by an organization-inflicted coaching carousel that forced the players to take the floor under three different leaders: Mike Malone (fired), interim Tyrone Corbin and late-season hire George Karl.
Amid all that, somehow, second-year shooting guard Ben McLemore found ways to improve.
The Kansas product mostly struggled through his rookie campaign, but looked more comfortable in Year 2. McLemore again played in all 82 games for the Kings, but unlike the previous season, when his role changed a few times, the 22-year-old high-flyer started every game.
Accordingly, the 6-foot-5 guard showed improvements in his shooting percentages and scoring.
|Ben McLemore
statistical comparison
|Rookie (2013-14)
|Sophomore (2014-15)
Perhaps the best news for McLemore? He finished the season in impressive fashion.
His April included 20-point performances against Utah, Oklahoma City and Denver, and he put up 24 points in Sacramento's season finale, vs. the Los Angeles Lakers.
In his final nine games of the season — under the team's presumably longterm coach, Karl — McLemore trended upward, averaging 16.2 points, 3.6 boards, 3.1 assists, 2.2 turnovers and 1.8 steals in 33.5 minutes. In April, he made 49.1% of his field goal attempts and 35.4% of his 3-pointers.
Karl has gone on record as saying no one on the team is untradeable, but if McLemore keeps showing new wrinkles, progress and improves defensively, he could be the kind of piece the Kings want to keep around for the long haul.
Just as impressive as his improvement on the court, though, have been his contributions to the people of Sacramento. The Kings named him the winner of their Oscar Robertson Triple-Double Award, given to the player who "exemplifies excellence on the court and in the community."
Since joining the ranks of the best basketball players on the planet, McLemore has helped out not only in his NBA city, but also in his hometown of Wellston, Missouri.
"When I was growing up, my family didn't have much, so it's always been extremely important for me to give back and help wherever and whenever I can," McLemore told the Kings' website. "I cherish the opportunity to be a role model for young kids and to give back to Sacramento and the community in which I grew up in Missouri. I'm honored to receive this recognition named for an NBA legend and great humanitarian."
McLemore also became one of the finalists for the league-wide Community Assist Award.
His nonprofit organization, All 4 Kids, provides meals for underserved and low-income youth and families in Wellston and surrounding communities.
Things weren't easy for McLemore growing up, and it's obvious he hasn't forgotten that.
"Now it's our time to provide for those who dream bold, too," the young guard said.

Thomas Robinson subject of trade rumor with deadline approaching; and would Kings move Ben McLemore?
Believe it or not, sometimes life in the NBA isn't easy. Especially if you're a valuable asset when the league's trade deadline approaches.
Just ask Washington's journeyman power forward, Drew Gooden. Actually, BleacherReport.com did, given that the former Grizzly/Magic/Cavalier/Bull/King/Spur/Maverick/Clipper/Buck has played for 10 franchises and been traded on six separate occasions.
"I would say, where I'm at in my career, after numerous times going through a trade or the time or the window before a trade, I'm kind of numb to the feeling," Gooden told Bleacher Report. "I know it's a business, and I learned it early in my career. I wasn't a guy who got drafted and stayed with his team for five, six, seven years and then got traded. I was a guy who played half a season in Memphis and got traded 50 games into the season."
In his third go-round as a pro, Thomas Robinson hasn't experienced all that Gooden has, but he can certainly relate. Drafted by Sacramento, traded to Houston as a rookie, then moved again to Portland before the start of his second year, Robinson could once again be on the move.
Robinson has turned in some positive moments in a Trail Blazers uniform this season, including a double-double in his first career start. For the most part, though, he has not been a factor or become a significant part of the rotation on a talented roster — Portland entered the All-Star break with a 36-17 record, good enough to tie Houston for the third-best mark in the volatile Western Conference.
The 6-foot-10 power forward from Kansas only has played in 32 of 53 games and averages 3.6 points (a career low) and 4.2 rebounds while hitting 51.6% of his shots in 12.2 minutes a game this season. He has DNP's in three of the last five games.
Portland elected even before the season began to let him become a free agent this coming summer. So, as we wrote about before the season began, another Robinson trade long has been in play.
Now, with Thursday afternoon's trade deadline getting closer by the second, the rumor mill churns away at a fevered pace, and Robinson's name has emerged. Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski reports the Trail Blazers offered the athletic backup big to Denver in an attempt to land Wilson Chandler.
"Portland has shown a stronger desire to make a deal with Denver for Wilson Chandler than Arron Afflalo," Wojnarowski wrote, "partly because Chandler is under contract next season. The Blazers have made Will Barton and Thomas Robinson, as well as a future first-rounder, available in talks for wing players, but clearly would be more motivated to sweeten a package for Chandler than Afflalo, league sources said."
Whether Robinson ends up in Denver or elsewhere, don't be too surprised if he has a new NBA home by Thursday night.
Keep in mind: just because some other deal hasn't been rumored doesn't mean there isn't one, and some other trade package could materialize in the next few hours. You never know.
As a free-agent-to-be, another uniform change could be just around the corner for Robinson anyway.
Would the Kings move McLemore?
Speaking of young KU products with crazy bounce, Ben McLemore, in his second season with Sacramento, is averaging 11.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists, and making 44.4% of his field goals, 36.2% of his 3-pointers and 83.7% of his free throws.
The Kings — one of the league's worst teams, at 18-34 — wouldn't possibly consider moving a a 22-year-old shooting guard with upside would they?
ESPN insider Chad Ford conducted an online chat Wednesday and came up with a scenario that could entice the Sacramento brass.
The name Goran Dragic swirls prominently in the trade winds these days, and the Phoenix point guard has made it plenty clear he wants out. Dragic reportedly wants to play for the Lakers, Knicks or Heat, presumably because he'd like to sign with one of those teams as a free agent this summer. But Ford could see Phoenix moving him within the Pacific Division for the right pieces in return:
"The Kings are the team I like best as far as fit goes. And if the Suns could get Ben McLemore or Nik Stauskas and a future No. 1 ... I think that would be a great deal for both sides," Ford wrote.
This doesn't even really qualify as a rumor, just speculation. However, Wojnarowski thinks Sacramento could be a serious contender to land Dragic. So stay tuned.
A McLemore trade would be devastating news for the Kings' television analyst, who would no longer be able to offer up such gems as:
"Ben McLemore. How 'bout Ben SplashLemore right there?"
The most interesting part of a McLemore-to-Phoenix move, of course, would be the Suns having him and the Morris twins.
According to veteran trade piece Gooden, it's best to keep your phone handy near the deadline.
"Usually it's a phone call from the GM. It's a phone call from the agent. It's a phone call from someone in our organization," Gooden told Bleacher Report.
"I've been hearing some horror stories—which, thank God, never happened to me—about guys being in the airport, and they look at the ticker at the bottom of the screen and they see their name in a trade. There's never a right way to tell somebody that they've been traded. Every place that I was at, I wanted to be there."

Time for Ben McLemore to shine
Rarely does the NBA spotlight shine toward small-market Sacramento. Right now, it's pointed to the home of the Kings for all the wrong reasons.
What better time for second-year shooting guard Ben McLemore to help turn a negative into a positive?
Sacramento's front office has been pummeled with scrutiny the past couple of days, and rightfully so. The Kings (11-13) fired their head coach, Michael Malone, Sunday night, with the team having lost seven of nine games. Keep in mind, Sacramento's franchise player, center DeMarcus Cousins, missed each one of those with viral meningitis.
It's a raw deal for Malone, for sure, and multiple reports indicate the move was more about a difference in philosophies between the coach and the front office, which used the skid as an excuse to give the coach the axe.
The Kings will play their first game since the dismissal Tuesday night against Oklahoma City — 9:30 Central tip, on ESPN. So McLemore and his teammates have a chance to shift the focus toward the promise this team has going forward under interim coach Tyrone Corbin, with Cousins reportedly returning later this week.
The franchise's decision-makers might act a tad wacky from time to time (Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski reported owner Vivek Ranadive wants to employ a cherry-picking strategy). But the decision-makers at least have shown patience with McLemore, who didn't assimilate too quickly his rookie season.
The former Kansas standout has made strides as a sophomore, thus far avoiding any serious slump, with the most promising evidence for improvement showing up in his shooting percentages.
|BEN McLEMORE —
per game

|2013-14 (82 games)
|2014-15 (through 24 games)
Bleacher Report's Sim Risso detailed McLemore's development in a feature, and the 21-year-old said much of it has to do with confidence.
"I've just continued to believe in my shot and believe in my game. My teammates are doing a good job with that. My coaches have been running early plays for me and getting me going early."
As Risso points out, McLemore's usage percentage has gone up with Cousins out of the lineup. The athletic second-year guard with the smooth shooting touch (42-of-102 from 3-point range) said Cousins did a good job of finding him for open looks, and Rudy Gay and Darren Collison continue to do the same.
McLemore is averaging 13 points a game in December, and scored 21 against Houston on TNT last week.
The Kings looked like a surprising playoff contender in the treacherous Western Conference before Cousins' illness. We'll see if McLemore and his teammates can rally around this shakeup and get back in the mix.
They enter Tuesday's game tied for 10th place in the West with their opponent, OKC.
On a much lighter note, McLemore had a productive day off Monday. He took a group of Sacramento kids out shopping for holiday presents.
There's proof: Not everything is negative in Sacramento.

2014-15 season outlook: Ben McLemore
Hunker down, get hydrated and tell your loved ones you will see them next spring.
Hopefully that's not your mindset, but people should be warned: The at times seemingly never-ending NBA regular season is at hand.
The first handful of games tip off Tuesday, marking the start of the 82-game grind.
Thankfully for us, all we have to do is sit back, watch and enjoy. To make sure you're fully prepared for the 2014-15 campaign, we'll be rolling out a season outlook for each former Kansas University player who currently calls The Association home.
Ben McLemore — Sacramento Kings
6-foot-5 Shooting guard | Second season
2013-14 numbers: 82 games | 26.7 minutes | 8.8 points | 2.9 rebounds | 37.6 FG% | 32 3-pt% | 80.4 FT%
Coming off a rookie season that had both memorable moments (see: a Western Conference Rookie of the Month Award; dunking over Shaquille O'Neal at All-Star Weekend) and forgettable ones (exhibit A: shooting slumps; exhibit B: temporarily losing his starting spot), Ben McLemore enters Year 2 of his career riding some positive momentum.
• (For whatever it's worth) The young 2-guard helped Sacramento win the Las Vegas Sumer League tournament.
• He shed the No. 16 Kings jersey he wore during his first year for the more familiar No. 23.
• The Kings picked up their team option on his contract for the 2015-16 season.
• McLemore got to travel to China with his team for bonding and shenanigans.
• He provided at least one example of his improved shot, nailing 3-of-4 from downtown and scoring a preseason-high 22 points versus Brooklyn on Oct. 15.
• For the love of all things holy, the guy had a street named after him.
So, yeah, McLemore is happy about all of those things, and earning a spot as Sacramento's starting shooting guard — even if that means he'll have to battle rookie Nik Stauskas for those minutes.
Really, the worst thing he has endured lately was a brutal head-to-head collision with Wayne Ellington in a preseason game a few days ago.
But he has been cleared to lay in Sacramento's season opener Wednesday against Golden State.
Now the youngster known for his crazy hops and sweet-looking (if not yet totally effective) stroke can make more plays off the dribble, and he has freedom and confidence to shoot at will when he's open.
"This summer I worked really hard on the different aspects of my game," McLemore recently told reporters.
If McLemore has indeed made the kind of jump from freshman to sophomore year Sacramento envisions, he should be the team's best guard — or at least the Kings' top scoring option in the backcourt, where he teams with Darren Collison, Stauskas, Ramon Sessions and Ray McCallum.
With small forward Rudy Gay and big man DeMarcus Cousins in the frontcourt, the Kings have talented pieces. But… They play in the Western Conference. Last season the Kings (28-54) finished with a better record than just the L.A. Lakers and Utah out West.
Even if the team improves on the court, it might be difficult to claw out of that cellar. The West is just loaded. And a Sactown playoffs appearance sounds like fan fiction.
So what do we expect out of McLemore for the 2014-15 season?
Cameos in the nightly highlight reels with explosive dunks and some hot shooting nights. More importantly, McLemore figures to develop and become more well rounded and effective at the pro level.
While Sacramento should again struggle, this season could go a long way toward determining just how well the rest of McLemore's career goes.
'Hawks in the NBA 2014-15 season outlooks:
'Boogie' backs Ben McLemore, expects progress
No NBA rookie comes into the league and figures everything out in the span of 82 games. But some assimilate faster than others.
Kansas University lottery picks Andrew Wiggins and Joel Embiid will find that out soon enough. For proof, they could just examine the still young career of another Jayhawk.
Sacramento shooting guard Ben McLemore — coming off a somewhat disappointing debut season (8.8 points, 37.6-percent shooting) — hopes the Las Vegas Summer League will serve as his springboard to Year 2.
A look at McLemore's shot chart from his rookie season reveals there were really only a handful of spots the Kings would want him shooting from — either corner for three-pointers and inside the arc on the left wing.
Just about every other spot on the floor yielded little returns for the first-year guard out of KU.
After two games in Las Vegas, though, McLemore had converted just six of his 18 shots.
In the Kings' third Vegas game, Monday against the D-League Select team, McLemore finally found his stroke. The athletic young guard went 7-for-10 from the floor, 3-for-4 from the foul line, made one of his two three-pointers and finished with 18 points and six rebounds.
"My first two games, I was just too anxious," McLemore said in a video interview posted by News10, in Sacramento. "You know, not letting the game try to come to me and not playing my game."
His next time out? Even better.
McLemore led the Kings with 22 points Thursday in a win against Minnesota, knocking down 7 of 11 shots — including 2 of 4 from three-point land — while converting all six of his free throws, dishing four assists and grabbing six boards.
He knows the kinks need to be addressed now if he wants to help keep Sacramento afloat in the highly competitive Western Conference during the regular season.
The Kings' star forward, DeMarcus "Boogie" Cousins, told ESPN's Bill Simmons he has faith in the 21-year-old shooting guard.
On an episode of his podcast, the B.S. Report, Simmons asked Cousins about "what's up" with McLemore after his "typical rookie" season. Cousins quickly spoke up for his teammate.
"He's gonna be an incredible player. He's just gotta keep growing," Cousins said.
Simmons suggested there weren't a lot of shots to go around in Sacramento last season for role players such as McLemore — what with Boogie, Rudy Gay and Isaiah Thomas all averaging 20-plus points on the season — and Cousins agreed. But the Kings let point guard Thomas sign with Phoenix this summer and replaced him by picking up Darren Collison. So McLemore could have more opportunities in his second year — if rookie Nik Stauskas, from Michigan, doesn't beat him out for a spot in the starting lineup.
"That's like my little brother," Cousins said of the incumbent. "One thing about Ben, he works his tail off. With that alone, he's gonna be fine. I believe he'll have a better season this year."
The Sacramento big man predicted the Kings (28-54 in 2013-14) would break through and make the playoffs next season.
Simmons' response?
"You need your little brother, McLemore, to step up."
Collison's decade of dirty work makes him indispensable in OKC
All the NBA talk around Lawrence the past few days has centered on Kansas University freshmen and their decisions — Andrew Wiggins is officially entering the draft, and everyone is waiting to hear if Joel Embiid will do the same.
This time next year, we might be debating whether Wiggins or Embiid deserve to win the NBA's Rookie of the Year.
But for now, with the 2013-14 NBA season winding down, we'll check in with a couple of veterans and a current rookie.
Mr. Reliable
When your career averages are 6.6 points and 5.7 rebounds, you have to be doing something right to stick around in the NBA for a decade.
For 10th-year power forward Nick Collison — selected 12th overall by the Seattle Supersonics in the loaded 2003 draft —becoming the ultimate role player enticed the franchise that picked him (Seattle relocated to Oklahoma City and changed its name to the Thunder following the 2007-08 season) to keep him around.
As Darnell Mayberry points out in his profile on Collison for The Oklahoman, the veteran out of Kansas is one of those rare NBA players who have spent the past 10 seasons with the same franchise.
FYI, some of those other names are: Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki and Dwyane Wade.
Collison told Mayberry:
"I know it's really rare for somebody to be able to stick that long. And now, to be successful at the end part of it, too, to build up to being a really good team at the end, that's how I would want it to go."
The reliable backup big man averages just 4.2 points and 3.7 rebounds in 17.0 minutes a game for OKC (54-19), but general manager Sam Presti calls him a "founding member" of the Thunder, along with superstars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
"He represents the type of player that we want to ultimately have our organization embody," Presti told Mayberry.
Between charges, screens, hustle plays, easy second-chance buckets, and defensive stops, you can see why the Thunder have kept Collison around.
And why he has become a fan favorite. Here's what Collison said to Mayberry on that subject:
"I feel like they really appreciate what I do, and I know that's rare for a player like me. A role player like me who averages four (points) and four (rebounds) or whatever it is, no one really thinks twice about him. But I know that I have kind of a special place here. So I really appreciate that."
The Thunder currently hold the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference and are one of the favorites to win the 2014 NBA title.
Finishing strong
It would be a stretch to say Ben McLemore's rookie season in Sacramento has been a complete success.
Even though the Kings have shown their commitment to the young guard, he hasn't separated himself as one of the league's very best first-year players.
Still, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee wrote that the youngster out of Kansas is settling in to his position as the Kings' starting shooting guard.
Sacramento spent the opening months of the season bringing the rookie along slowly, but McLemore told Jones his confidence began to grow after the franchise dealt starter Marcus Thornton, opening a spot in the starting rotation for the former Jayhawk.
"It's an opportunity for me. Why not take it? That's what I did, and I just want to keep doing that. I'm not finished. I just want to keep working and finish this season out strong and in the offseason work on my weaknesses."
The best news for McLemore and Sacramento? He is starting to take his game to another level in the closing weeks of the season.
In his previous 10 games, the rook with huge upside averaged 11.8 points, while hitting 40.9% of his shots and 33.3% of his 3-pointers. Those numbers get even better in his past five outings: 14.6 points, 41.3% field goals and 42.9% 3-pointers. Compare those numbers to his season averages of 8.2 points, 37.3% shooting and 32% from 3-point range.
Monday night at New Orleans, McLemore scored 14 points and grabbed five rebounds (he has only averaged 2.8 boards on the year).
In Jones' feature on the developing shooting guard, Kings coach Michael Malone said McLemore knows these late-season games with Sacramento (26-48) are his chance to shine.
"He's just kind of relaxing, stopped putting so much pressure on himself where he feels he has to make every shot, and he's just going out there and playing,. And he's taking the shot and shooting it with great confidence."
Hungry for minutes?
When you're an NBA veteran at the end of a team's bench, often picking up the dreaded DNP in the box score, it has to get under your skin.
Utah shooting guard Brandon Rush is living out that reality. He has played in 38 games, and averaged a minuscule 2.1 points and 1.2 rebounds in 11.0 minutes a game — far below his career averages of 8.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 24.9 minutes.
So Rush will have to forgive Desert News reporter Jody Genessy if he truly misinterpreted this tweet from the sixth-year pro following another DNP against Memphis last week.
Genessy asked Rush about the meaning of his four-word declaration a few days later. Rush told the reporter he was communicating with a cousin in that particular message.
But Rush admitted to Genessy that this season with Utah (23-52) has been "a little frustrating."
"It's been up and down. It's not what I expected. But I just fight through it and continue to try to get better, try to get this knee right for summertime. It happens."
As noted by Genessy, Rush missed basically all of 2012-13 due to an ACL injury.
He'll be a free agent at the end of this season. And you don't have to read into Rush's tweets to figure out he won't be in Utah's training camp next fall.

They're not booing in D.C., they're saying 'Drew'
Now that March Madness — and Stanford — brought a premature end to Kansas University's basketball season, all Jayhawks fans can do is sit around watching their Twitter feeds to see whether Joel Embiid will announce his intentions for next season, as in: Will he play at KU or in the NBA?
The good news? You can fill some of your KU hoops void with 'Hawks in the NBA.
Guess who's back
It's been about a month since our last 'Hawks entry here at KUsports.com, and probably the biggest news in that span was the return of Drew Gooden to the Association.
The bearded, No. 90-wearing veteran — out of the league since getting cut by Milwaukee last summer — joined the Washington Wizards. Initially, the Wiz signed Gooden to a 10-day contract, but he quickly proved his worth, and is under contract for the remainder of the season.
Washington no longer operates as one of the league's laughing stocks. So you'll get a chance to see Gooden in the playoffs. Entering Friday's games, the Wizards (36-35) held the No. 6 spot in the Eastern Conference, and it would take a significant collapse for them to fall out of the top eight.
Gooden came along slowly, with two scoreless games in very limited minutes to begin his stint in D.C. But when he gets minutes, he puts up points. Now in his 12th — though abbreviated — season, the 6-foot-10 veteran came through with a 21-point, nine-rebound outing in a key conference win over Brooklyn two weeks ago.
He has played in just 13 games, went scoreless in three of them (playing single-digit minutes on each occasion) and still averages 10.2 points and 5.7 rebounds in 17.5 minutes a game.
Gooden did get fined $15,000 for a flagrant foul, but mostly his return has worked out for him and Washington.
In a Sam Amick story for USA Today, the former Jayhawk said getting overlooked by the league when he could've signed with any team before the 2013-14 campaign has fueled his late-season addition in D.C.
"I've got a vendetta right now against all the other teams that overlooked me. I wanted to show them once I got an opportunity that I've got a passion and I love this game, and I wasn't going to go and leave my career like it was left last season in Milwaukee."
In his career, Gooden has played for 10 of the league's 30 franchises: Orlando, Memphis, Cleveland, Chicago, Sacramento, San Antonio, Dallas, the Los Angeles Clippers, Milwaukee and Washington.
McLemore reflects on highs and lows of rookie year
Since arriving in Sacramento as the Kings' No. 7 overall pick in the 2013 draft, Ben McLemore hasn't exactly set the NBA on fire. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard out of Kansas has averaged 8.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, made 37.2% of his shots and 31.7% of his 3-pointers.
McLemore sat down with James Ham at the Cowbell Kingdom blog for a Q & A this week. Here are a few of the more interesting comments from the rookie, who is constantly learning and adapting in the league.
The reporter asked McLemore what it was like to see Andrew Wiggins and Embiid playing for KU, knowing he could've played with them as a sophomore if he didn't leave for the NBA:
"You're right, I could have been out there playing with those guys and just having fun playing Kansas basketball with those guys. But at the same time, I made a great decision to come to the NBA. I definitely don't regret that. I have a great opportunity right now in a great situation."
McLemore also discussed his life-changing NBA contract, which took him from having very little money to a whole lot.
"I think it's been great. I really haven't had a problem. My family – as long as my mom, my sisters and brothers are fine, that's the people I'm looking out for. I've got a lot of family and they know my situation and they understand that I did this and I've worked hard to get in this position."
McLemore said he will be back in Kansas this summer, taking classes.
"It's very important because I want to get my degree. I was the first one out of my family to go to a university and I would be the first to have a degree. To look back and tell my kids that their dad got his degree in college, to tell them that this is important, that school is important. And my mom would be proud. She'd be even more proud if I got my degree."
Read the entire interview at CowbellKingdom.com.
Sacramento (25-46) is out of the playoff hunt in the Western Conference.
Hinrich, Bulls keep plugging away
Even though Chicago lost former league MVP Derrick Rose for the season due to a torn right meniscus, the Bulls have remained one of the top teams in the East.
Eleventh-year NBA veteran Kirk Hinrich has played a key role in Chicago's remarkably steady season, starting 50 of the Bulls' 62 games, and averaging 9.0 points and 3.9 assists.
After Hinrich's 18-point night helped Chicago beat the East's top team, Indiana, earlier this week, Sam Smith of bulls.com wrote that the former Kansas guard reflects the hard work of the Bulls, even though he might get overlooked.
As the article touches on, Hinrich hasn't had a stellar shooting season (39% field goals, 35% 3-pointers). He told Smith:
"The hard thing is when it's not going in and you are not making it to stay confident and looking for your shot. But I feel I've done a better job (the last few months). I feel I've turned a corner in that regard."
Chicago (40-31) currently holds the No. 4 seed in the East.
X, man
Xavier Henry had to hit the pause button on the best season of his career when he was diagnosed with an abnormality of the lateral meniscus in his right knee.
After missing all of January and February, Henry (10.3 points per game, 42.2% shooting) returned to the Los Angeles Lakers' lineup in March, and has played in 11 of L.A.'s 12 games since then.
He dropped 24 points on San Antonio on March 19 in a loss, and later scored 22 on 8-of-11 shooting in a win against the Knicks earlier this week.
As you can see, the knee is doing just fine.
Still, as Mark Medina wrote for the Los Angeles Daily News, teammates both admire and worry about the explosive Henry.
Fearless attacks on the rim have proven to be the norm for Henry, who hurt his left wrist doing so after returning from his knee injury. So the Lakers try to convince him to take it easy.
Here's what Henry told Medina of his teammates' conversations:
"All the time they tell me I'm crazy. They say, 'What are you doing this for? You have nothing to prove.' I have something to prove to myself. I'm not quitting. I'm not going to take a step back."

Expect more McLemore in Sacramento
If the Sacramento Kings have their way, they will find out before the season ends exactly what rookie shooting guard Ben McLemore can do for their franchise.
Both words and actions from the organization this week displayed Sacramento's interest in keeping the 21-year-old around long enough to see his full potential.
As reported by Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee, the Kings showed their belief in the rookie out of Kansas, not only by openly dispelling trade rumors (a prominent one had McLemore as part of a package to land Boston point guard Rajon Rondo), but also dealing away Marcus Thornton, who had been the team's starting shooting guard.
Thornton's former spot in the lineup is McLemore's now, and clearly management wants to see what he does with it.
The Kings (18-36), last in the Pacific Division out West, aren't going to make the playoffs. So Sacramento coach Michael Malone will be watching closely during the next couple of months:
"My main thing moving forward is Ben McLemore," Malone said before Wednesday's game. "And that's no disrespect to anybody, but we drafted Ben seventh, and it's been an up-and-down season for him at times. But with these last 29 games, there's no pressure on this team. I want us to play together, I want us to play the right way. I want us to have fun, and I also want to have a great opportunity to see Ben, Ray (McCallum), Carl (Landry) and Derrick (Williams). Especially to see what they're able to do with the last 29 games."
In McLemore's return to the starting lineup Wednesday against Golden State (he started 26 games earlier this season), he found himself in some foul trouble, only played 19 minutes and went 1-for-4 from the floor with four points and four rebounds.
In 54 games, the 6-foot-5 rookie has averaged 23.2 minutes, 7.5 points, 2.8 rebounds and hit 36.5% of his shots, 33.3% of his three-pointers and 78.6% of his free throws.
Blake Ellington at SactownRoyalty.com breaks down some of McLemore's issues on the floor, which have included "disappearing" for long stretches, playing passively and lacking consistency on his jumper.
Also, defense.
(Disclaimer: Steph Curry does that to lots of people.)
The rookie's next opportunity to prove he should be part of Sacramento's core for the future comes Saturday night against Boston — the game can be seen on NBATV, at 9 p.m.
For more on McLemore, listen to an interview he did with Fescoe in the Morning, on 610 Sports Radio.
McLemore's interview begins at about the 32-minute mark and he talks about adjusting to the NBA, the slam dunk contest at All-Star Weekend, hearing about trade rumors and taking the next step in his career.
Taylor reportedly done with D-League
In 'Hawks no longer in the NBA news:
Roughly a month after Brooklyn traded him and New Orleans waived him, it appears Tyshawn Taylor is through with the D-League for this season.
Taylor had signed with the Maine Red Claws, and only scored five points in his last outing on Wednesday night.
The next day, news began to pop up on Twitter about Taylor signing with a club in Puerto Rico.
In eight D-League games this season, Taylor averaged 9.6 points and 3.4 rebounds.
He averaged 3.9 points and 1.6 assists in 11.7 minutes a game for Brooklyn.

All hail the king of dunk contest theatrics, Ben McLemore
Ben McLemore didn't win the slam dunk contest Saturday night in New Orleans — Dunker of the Night went to Washington's John Wall — but it wasn't due to a lack of theatrics or superb athleticism from the high-flying shooting guard.
The Sacramento Kings rookie, the only former Kansas player involved in the NBA's All-Star Weekend festivities, had the arena and Twitter abuzz when, accompanied by Shaquille O'Neal and wearing a regal robe, he paraded toward the court, where a throne sat conspicuously in the paint.
As Ailene Voisin of the Sacramento Bee put it, "Ben McLemore gave one of the more theatrical performances in Kings history."
Eventually, after the showy intro, McLemore got down to business — or would it be up to business in this case? — by leaping over the throne, occupied by Kings minority investor Shaq, and throwing down an impressive slam.
I don't know if TNT still uses the slogan, "We know drama," but clearly the combo we shall now refer to as Shaq-Lemore were happy to bring a flair for the dramatic to the broadcast.
Whether you love or hate all the spectacle, it was quite a dunk, and as Kenny Smith said during the broadcast, probably actually more difficult than Blake Griffin's dunk over the hood of a car a few years back.
Here is McLemore's crowning moment in epic, super-slow-mo mode:
"I was robbed," McLemore joked to the Bee's Voisin, laughing. "I dunked over a chair and a 7-footer! That was creative. It was a great dunk."
Before the main attraction, McLemore and his fellow Western Conference teammates, Golden State's Harrison Barnes and Portland's Damian Lillard, performed a series of jams in the freestyle round.
Prior to the contest, it turns out the man known as "The Human Highlight Reel," Dominique Wilkins, said McLemore was his sleeper pick. And Nique won the event twice, famously battling Michael Jordan on more than one occasion.
"That kid has a lot of bounce," Wilkins said in a column by Voisin for the Bee. "I like his chances."
The Kings rookie didn't have to go far for some dunk contest advice, either. Sacramento's player development director is Dee Brown, who won the all-star weekend showcase in 1991.
Voisin wrote that Brown often has worked with McLemore on another part of his game after practices, too. McLemore has "small and slender" hands and often struggles to maintain his grip.
So Brown had more to offer than, "Hey, kid. Just cover your eyes when you dunk."
As you can tell from McLemore's Twitter account, he was stoked to be a part of All-Star Weekend.
To wrap things up, here are some pretty cool photos the Kings tweeted out from the competition.
Finally, check out a compilation of McLemore's best in-game dunks from his still young and promising career.

I deal with airports, security, and security personnel all the time as part of my job. If you put it in checked baggage you will not have a problem. If you want to carry it on-board - that will be the problem area.
Here's the what you will have to deal with for carry-on. Each airport's TSA Security Director and staff will have a different reaction to your equipment. You, in all probability, will not get a universal answer - especially if/when the Threat Level is changed.
So, if you go to your local airport and check with the TSA Security Director, show him/her the equipment, etc. you'll get an answer for that airport that may OR may not be passed down to the field personnel who will make their own judgement at the time you go through passenger screening.
You will probably not get an answer by emailing the TSA directly, and, again even if you do, that decision will not be passed down to the myriad of airports you go through.
I'd get an appointment with the SD at your local airport, bring the equipment and discuss the problem knowing the information I have given to you. Ask for his / her opinion, and then plan how to transport the equipment at that point.

"Although excess risk in the immediate family might indicate evidence of a genetic contribution, it could also simply indicate shared environment risks or household exposure that may be contributing to the disease," Dr. Patel noted. "Conversely, excess risks in second and third-degree relatives strongly support a genetic contribution to disease, given the measurable genetic sharing in these more distant relatives and the relative absence of shared household risks."
"There are limitations to our study. We could not measure disease severity or response to treatment. Furthermore, the population of Utah is genetically representative of a US or North European background. As such, this study does not prove a purely genetic basis for disease but suggests that it may play an important role." Dr. Patel noted.

MORGANTOWN, W. Va., October 29, 2008 --- A study conducted by a team of stroke experts from West Virginia University Health Sciences Center demonstrates that CT (computed tomography) perfusion imaging - a technology which measures blood flow and is available to most hospitals - may dramatically improve fast and accurate stroke diagnosis, enabling physicians to provide more targeted care and helping avoid potentially life-threatening complications of "clot buster" therapy. The WVU study is the largest to date of the lifesaving technology's utility in diagnosing stroke and staging its treatment.
The study, published in the October 2008 issue of The Journal of Emergency Medicine, shows that using CT perfusion to diagnose stroke may be as valuable as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) an imaging technology that takes far longer to use at a time when every second counts before treatment is initiated. The CT technology allows physicians to identify patients who are suitable candidates for treatment, utilizing either clot busting medicines or clot retrieval devices.
WVU researchers believe this research could change national protocols on how stroke patients are triaged and potentially extend treatment opportunity beyond the three-to-six hour window.
"Our study reveals that the widespread use of CT perfusion is a practical way to help busy emergency departments save precious time in stroke diagnosis, target treatment and reduce the risks of inappropriate thrombolytic use," said Ansaar T. Rai, MD, Assistant Professor of Neuro Radiology & Neurointerventional Radiology. "CT perfusion was able to pinpoint strokes with high levels of accuracy, particularly the major intracranial vessel strokes that result in more devastating outcomes."
Key findings of the study include:
