FSU coach: Jaguars" top draft pick Jalen Ramsey a special talent

Jalen Ramsey || "Nation"s Best Player" || FSU Highlights

Long before he joined the Jaguars and promised to make an instant impact, Jalen Ramsey did the same upon arriving at Florida State before the 2013 season.

He said, Coach, Im going to start from Day One, Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher said. I said, If youre the best player, you will [start], but realize Deion [Sanders] took four games to start. Jalen said, I dont care.

Ramsey started at cornerback as a freshman before moving to free safety on a Florida State defense that led the nation in fewest points allowed (12.1 per game) and won the national championship.

Twenty-eight years after Sanders was drafted fifth overall by Atlanta, Ramsey, who moved back to cornerback in 2014-15, went No. 5 to the Jaguars.

Fisher (in place of defensive backs coach Charles Kelly) spoke with the Times-Union about Ramsey.

Question: Ramsey was a true freshman playing free safety on a defense laden with future NFL players (Telvin Smith, Lamarcus Joyner, Timmy Jernigan, Terrence Brooks, Ronald Darby and Christian Jones) that eventually won the national title. Was the moment ever too big for him in 2013?

Answer: No, it really wasnt. Theres a difference between arrogance and confidence. He carried himself with a lot of confidence and he believed in his ability. The thing I thought always separated him was his ability to mentally compartmentalize everything that was happening and then learn from it and process it during the game. He did that from the get-go.

The Jaguars coaches have raved about Ramseys football smarts. How rare was that aspect of his game when he arrived at Florida State?

Instincts are something you naturally have. He has the football instincts/IQ, but he also has pure intelligence. Darby was banged up early [in 2013] and that was one of the reasons Jalen got to start at corner, but he would have been on the field somehow anyway. We put him at corner, he starts there and then he moves positions..

After playing free safety as a freshman, what was the reasoning behind moving Ramsey to covering the slot receiver in 2014?

We felt we could use his versatility more [inside]. Sometimes, tall guys [Ramsey is 6-foot-1] have a tough time there, but he had the quickness and agility to cover the little guys. And he was very physical at the point of attack on run plays because he was playing like an outside linebacker and teams liked to run at him. The other thing he was a very dynamic blitzer.

Playing in that new role, did Ramsey pick things up quicker than you and the coaches thought he would?

Yes, he did. But everything hes ever done, hes [adjusted quickly]. He will embarrass guys in practice if theyre not ready.

Ramsey said he got his practice habits from current Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith. Sound right?

Theres no doubt. The way that 2013 team practiced with Telvin, Lamarcus and that whole group of guys on defense and then there was Jameis [Winston], Rashad [Greene], Devonta [Freeman] and [Kelvin] Benjamin on offense practice was crazy.

Ramsey was on the move again as a junior, playing outside corner. Is that his ideal home in the NFL?

It starts there because if you have a true cornerback with his size who can match up against big receivers, thats a huge advantage. Most big guys dont have his strength or agility. And then if you want to match him up in nickel, he can play the little guy. His ability to play corner at this size makes him special.

Erislandy Lara gunning for Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin

Freddie Roach "Golovkin is still best pound for pound; I think Canelo is ready for Golovkin"

Dont miss any action. Sign up for the free BN newsletter(s) here

ERISLANDY LARA is eager for a rematch with Canelo Alvarez and even more keen to face middleweight menace Gennady Golovkin.

First, he must successfully defend his WBA super-welterweight title in a rematch with Vanes Martirosyan in Las Vegas on Saturday night [May 21].

The Cuban slickster was edged out by Canelo in 2014 and has struggled to nail down fights with other marquee names, but hopes things will change after Saturday.

After I win Saturday, I would love to fight GGG or Canelo, but I would prefer GGG. Its not frustrating that Im not fighting the biggest names all the time. Im a headliner, he said.

I dont feel any pressure. Im just going to do my job and just keep winning. As long as I keep winning, everything will take care of itself.

Lara and Martirosyan fought to a technical draw in 2012, and Vanes has been calling for a return ever since.

Lara has beaten the likes of Alfredo Angulo and Austin Trout in the meantime, and expects to turn back Martirosyans challenge with relative ease.

Im not surprised that Im fighting Vanes again. Its my job to fight whoever they put in front of me, he said.

I felt that I was a better fighter than him the first time and Im a little better in almost every area since. One of the most important things is my way of training and my way of getting prepared. I feel that I am much more mature.

I like being back in Las Vegas again. Im definitely prepared to do what I do and thats win.

Yuri Kochiyama, today"s Google Doodle, fought for civil rights and praised Osama bin Laden

Man beats up daughter"s cheating boyfriend/ Twitter Shows Malcolm X LOVE!

Thursday, May 19, this year would"ve been the 95th birthday of Yuri Kochiyama, a prominent Japanese-American activist who passed away at 93 two years ago. Google is marking the occasion with one of its trademark doodles.

Some of Kochiyama"s work was deeply, clearly admirable. As an associate of Malcolm X, she was an important nonblack ally to the more militant end of the civil rights movement. She endured forced internment during World War II, and was an outspoken advocate for reparations to internees, which would eventually be passed in 1988. She was a vocal opponent of the Vietnam War and advocate for inmates she viewed as political prisoners.

But other commitments of hers were more ambiguous. She was an outspoken admirer of Mao Zedong even after the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. She praised Malcolm X for his "admiration for Mao and Ho Chi Minh," and worked closely with the Revolutionary Action Movement, an "urban guerrilla warfare" organization based on "a synthesis of the thought of Malcolm X, Marx and Lenin, and Mao Zedong." The activist Robert Williams gifted her with a copy of the Little Red Book, and she later thanked him for "the gift of Mao"s philosophy."

Yuri Kochiyama was a supporter of the terrorist group Shining Path Cris Bouronicle/AFP/Getty Images Graffiti in Lima, Peru, calls for the freeing of Shining Path leader Abimael Guzmn.

Two positions of Kochiyama"s stand out as particularly alarming. First, she was an enthusiastic supporter of the Peruvian terrorist group Shining Path, a Maoist organization that has conducted a brutal insurgency killing tens of thousands of people since 1980. Peru"s Truth and Reconciliation Commission found that Shining Path personally killed or disappeared at least 30,000.

"Its tactics include the burning of ballot boxes and the public "executions" of moderate local leaders and others, including nuns and priests, who are seen as rivals for the allegiance of the poor," according to a 1992 New York Times report. "In wildly exaggerated demonstrations of Maoist precepts, children have been killed for political "crimes." Amnesty International says the guerrillas routinely torture, mutilate and murder captives."

"We reject and condemn human rights because they are reactionary, counter-revolutionary, bourgeois rights," founder Abimael Guzmn declared in one document. "Rather than concentrate its attacks on the armed forces or police, Shining Path has predominantly singled out civilians," Human Rights Watch noted in 1997. "The Shining Path has pragmatically avoided taking captives unless it intends to execute them Shining Path has been reported to torture captured civilians before executing them." Shining Path also used rape as a weapon of war.

This did not appear to bother Kochiyama, who joined a delegation to Peru organized by the Maoist Revolutionary Communist Party, which defends the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. She read, in her words, "the kind of reading materials that I could become "educated" on the real situation in Peru; not the slanted reports of corporate America. The more I read, the more I came to completely support the revolution in Peru." In other words, she read, and believed, Maoist propaganda denying Shining Path"s war crimes.

After her return from Peru, she declared, "What has been taking place in both Peru and the US is a serious campaign to discredit Guzmn and the Shining Path movement, tainting them as terrorists, undermining their struggle with lies, isolating them, and intimidating anyone who might support them."

Yuri Kochiyama declared Osama bin Laden "one of the people that I admire" Getty Images Osama bin Laden, on a horse.

Kochiyama was a thorough-going opponent of what she viewed as American imperialism, and like some radical anti-imperialists this occasionally led her to admiring truly loathsome figures, because she thought they were effective at combating American empire. Abimael Guzmn was one. Osama bin Laden was another.

In a 2003 interview for the Objector: A Magazine of Conscience and Resistance, Kochiyama explained:

Im glad that you are curious why I consider Osama bin Laden as one of the people that I admire. To me, he is in the category of Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Patrice Lumumba, Fidel Castro, all leaders that I admire. They had much in common. Besides being strong leaders who brought consciousness to their people, they all had severe dislike for the US government and those who held power in the US.

bin Laden may have come from a very wealthy family, but by the time he was twenty, he came to loathe the eliteness and class conduct of his family

You asked, "Should freedom fighters support him?" Freedom fighters all over the world, and not just in the Muslim world, dont just support him; they revere him; they join him in battle.

You stated that some freedom fighters responded that bin Ladens agenda is more reactionary and does not speak to the needs of the masses of people who exist under US dominance. bin Laden has been primarily fighting US dominance even when he received money from the US when he was fighting in Afghanistan. He was fighting for Islam and all people who believe in Islam, against westerners, especially the US--even when he was fighting against the Russians.

To be clear, this is Kochiyama defending bin Laden who, besides being a mass murderer, was a vicious misogynist and hardly the brave anti-imperial class traitor Kochiyama fancies him as against other leftists who correctly noted that you can oppose American imperialism without allying or supporting violent jihadism.

Kochiyama"s praise for Che Guevara and Fidel Castro is also controversial, and,I think wrong, but is at least somewhat common on the left. Sympathy for Shining Path and bin Laden, by contrast, is not a common left position basically anywhere.

The 10 biggest announcements from Google I/O 2016

Noticias: iPhone 7, iOS 9.3.2, Google IO 2016 y +

At I/O this year, Google displayed its vision for a more ubiquitous and conversational way of interacting with technology. Its Assistant is chattier, answering natural language queries with a more human voice, and its found its way into several new Google products: the messenger Allo and the Echo-like speaker Home. Both are areas where other companies have a lead, but Googles strength in AI gave these services some nice twists, doing things like automatically generating surprisingly specific reactions to photos.

Google also announced improvements to Android though N, out of beta this summer, still needs to be named as well as a mobile VR platform that will come with the new OS. Theres a FaceTime rival Duo as well, and a way to run Android apps without downloading anything. Below are the 10 biggest announcements.

Google has a new VR platform

Google has two new messaging apps

More assistants in more places

Android keeps getting bigger

What does it all mean?

Seeing these products through wont be easy. VR, messaging, and smart assistants are three of the hottest areas of tech; today, Google took big swings at all of them. The demos were impressive, especially where the intelligence of its Assistant was on display, but the result leaves us with a lot of questions. Will a smart chatbot be enough to surmount the lead of Amazons Echo or Facebooks Messenger? Can Googles Daydream platform catch up with the Vive and the Rift? Amazon has been aggressive about partnering with other services, and Facebook well, Facebook is where everyones friends already are. Well need a much closer look at the products before we can start to guess at the answers, but in the meantime, Sundar Pichais Google has showed it isnt afraid of making big bets.

Beyonc touches down at TCF Bank Stadium following her gutsiest play yet

Malcolm X: Speeches and Interviews (1960-65)

The two biggest music stories of the year happened just two days apart last month: Prince died, and Beyonc came alive like never before.

Of course, it was unfortunate timing on Queen Beys part that the greatest album and bravest artistic achievement of her career, Lemonade, landed April 23, just two days after Princes passing. The voracious marketing campaign behind the album had started in early February at the Super Bowl and culminated with an HBO special on the day of release. She couldnt exactly ring up the record executives and say, Lets hold off a week even if two of those execs are herself and the husband who is skewered and smoked like a roast pig on the album.

In its five-star review of Lemonade, Rolling Stone put a positive spin on Beyoncs opus coming right on the heels of Princes passing: Its a welcome reminder that giants still walk among us.

And now here comes Beyonc with her most gigantic production to date, the Formation Tour, which lands Monday at TCF Bank Stadium in Princes hometown. Her timing is perfect in this case.

Forget any overall comparisons of the two iconic singers; thatd be silly. But theres one resemblance worth exploring: Lemonade is Beys Purple Rain. Its her big moment. Its an album that engrosses from start to finish. Theres not one filler track on it. There are songs that make you blush, think, ache, writhe and marvel. Theres even a film counterpart that stands up on its own artistic merit.

First aired by HBO and since streamed 11 million times on Tidal, the movie version of Lemonade is officially billed as a visual album. Our first glimpse of it came right before the Super Bowl, when the footage for the records gritty closing track, Formation, hit the Web like wildfire, showing an underwater New Orleans and over-excessive police.

That was our warning shot, our first clue the former teen pop star was clearly up to something bigger and bolder than Crazy in Love. Then came the Super Bowl performance of Formation with a Black Panthers-looking dance troupe, when Coldplay suddenly became the halftime benchwarmer this year.

Saturday Night Live brilliantly spoofed the shocked reaction to the Formation rollout with a mock horror-movie trailer that declared it the day we learned Beyonc is black. A police union in Miami took it far more seriously, calling for a boycott of officers working her concert a reaction largely due to another scene in the visual album that shows the mothers of Michael Brown, Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin holding up photos of their sons, two of whom were killed during run-ins with police.

Then came the real shocker. Turns out the racial issues of Formation were just scratching the surface of what Bey is coming out from under on Lemonade.

Dirt off her shoulder

The albums most talked-about theme is actually infidelity. Its all over the record like spilled red wine on a white carpet, starting with the splashy opening line: You can taste the dishonesty / Its all over your breath. Video scenes of Bey smashing up cars with a baseball bat now the subject of another funny spoof on Ellen plus a litany of explicit lyrics all seem to point to real-life strife in her marriage to rap mogul Jay Z.

Another example of Bey going off in the songs: I smell your secrets, and Im not too perfect to ever feel this worthless / How did it come down to this, going through your call list? Also: This is your final warning / You know I give you life / If you try this [bleep] again youre gonna lose your wife.

If you surf the Web at least once a month or arent living on the International Space Station, chances are youve seen or heard something about what is now the most talked-about marriage in America. Gossip sites have been ablaze with Bey-Jay tidbits and marital examinations since the day after Lemonade went public.

Some of the most heavily trafficked reports have been over Becky with the good hair, the supposed other woman referenced in one of Lemonades most riveting songs, Sorry. Much has even been written about who isnt the alleged Becky (Rachael Ray deserves an award for this years Most Gracious Innocent Bystander). And now there are rumors that all the rumors arent even real rumors, and instead theyre all part of an elaborate publicity stunt that Beyonc dreamed up to play off the plague of modern tabloid culture or maybe just to sell records.

Single lady?

For her part, Beyonc is keeping mum. Its not even clear if her marriage is still intact. Her husband shows up toward the end of the visual album in a few sweet scenes that find him embracing his wife and playing with their daughter. No baseball bats are in sight, just forgiveness for a weapon. A Rolling Stone cover or story or maybe even an Oprah TV special will probably tell us whats what in the end.

Whatever the true story of Lemonade is, the truth wont lessen the impact of this record. If Beyoncs own struggles arent entirely real, theyre all too real for other women.

The album particularly seems to be about the strength of African-American women, whether theyre grieving mothers, estranged wives, survivors of segregation or victims of modern injustice. It quotes Malcolm X saying, The most disrespected person in American is the black woman. It also features a speech by Beyoncs own grandmother from her 90th birthday, when she said, Life gave me lemons, but I made lemonade.

No matter what, Beyonc gave us a landmark album in Lemonade. Musically, it actually bears a closer likeness to Princes Sign o the Times than Purple Rain in the way it tackles a grab bag of social woes over a wide range of styles. Like Purple Rain, though, this is the one shes going to be most remembered for.

Pittsburgh Penguins repeating tactic of pulling away from playoff opposition

Pittsburgh Penguins: In The Room / Forging an Identity

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Lightning are learning the painful lesson that playing the Pittsburgh Penguins is like being in a race in which the Penguins are running downhill on the smoothest of surfaces and the Lightning are running up a rocky hill in muddy boots.

This reality was brought home in stunning fashion Wednesday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, where the Lightning had been a tidy 5-1 this spring but were dominated by the Penguins by a 4-2 count that flattered the home side.

The win gives the Penguins a 2-1 series lead, and more sobering for the Lightning, it marks the second straight game in which they have been the second-best team on the ice by a wide margin.

In the past two games, the Lightning have allowed 89 shots against goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy, who was, for the second straight game, the best Lightning player on the ice in relief of the injured Ben Bishop.

That, head coach Jon Cooper said, is unacceptable.

"It"s extremely disappointing to give up 48 shots in your home building in a playoff game," Cooper said. "The way things have gone these two games, it doesn"t matter who"s in net. You know we could have had Bish and Vasi both playing at the same time, and they might have squeaked a couple in."

It"s not as if we haven"t seen this kind of thing before.

The New York Rangers and then the Washington Capitals found themselves running the same patently unfair race against the Penguins. In all three series, the Penguins split the first two games. In the first two rounds, they slowly but surely separated themselves from the Rangers and Capitals, en route to series victories of 4-1 and 4-2, respectively.

The Penguins have now separated themselves from the Lightning, and the question is whether last year"s Eastern Conference representative in the Stanley Cup finals can somehow reel Pittsburgh back in before it"s too late.

"You have to give them credit," said Lightning forward Tyler Johnson, who scored the first goal for Tampa just 14 seconds after Phil Kessel had given the Penguins a 2-0 lead early in the third period. "They played outstanding. They"re a really good team, and when they were going, have that confidence, it"s tough to stop in the offensive zone there."

Johnson described the Lightning"s defensive effort as trying to put a round peg in a square hole. Defenseman Anton Stralman added that he thought his team made life too easy for the Penguins in the second part of the game, after a solid start in which the first period ended scoreless.

"Overall, it"s just a lack of quality right now," Stralman said. "They played better. It"s just as simple as that. A lot of it, I think, is self-inflicted, too. They"re a really good team, but we"re just kind of feeding them a lot right now. We need to clean up, and it"s not going to cut it."

Game 3 followed a pattern the Penguins have followed often this spring. Regardless of the score, they generally get stronger as the game goes along. They outshot the Lightning 21-6 in the second period and basically owned the puck.

The Penguins have now outshot opponents 163-121 in the second period this spring. Had the Lightning finished the period without giving up a goal, who knows how this plays out?

But they didn"t. Jonathan Drouin committed a rookie mistake by coughing up the puck in the Pittsburgh zone in the waning seconds. Victor Hedman could not contain Kessel as he blazed down the right side and fired off a shot. Carl Hagelin scored on the rebound to give the Pens a 1-0 lead with 10 seconds left in the second.

The Lightning chased the rest of the game, and that was that.

The series is only 2-1. But a longtime NHL player and current team executive said he had expected both teams to elevate their games in Game 3, and in the end, only one did.

"I"m not sure if the Lightning have an answer," the executive said.

They have a day to come up with one before Game 4 at 8 p.m. ET Friday in Tampa.

One of the keys, of course, is the Lightning need to find more guys who can put pucks past Penguins goalie Matt Murray. Johnson scored, and so did Ondrej Palat, but that was it.

• The Penguins kept attacking and eventually broke through and opened the floodgates, filling the net while taking Game 3 and the 2-1 series lead.

• The Lightning captain has endured more than his share of injuries, but Steven Stamkos remains upbeat -- and is still finding ways to help lead his team -- as he works to return to action.

• Lightning coach Jon Cooper says he is optimistic that goalie Ben Bishop will play again in the Eastern Conference finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Fifteen different Penguins have scored this spring. In Game 3, it was a dominant Kessel line that did the bulk of the damage. Last game, it was Sidney Crosby and Matt Cullen, and so on, and so on.

In the seconds before Kessel made it 2-0 early in the third, Brian Boyle and J.T. Brown had successive golden scoring chances for the Lightning but couldn"t get the puck to go at a crucial point. In a heartbeat, it was 2-0, and the series is slipping away.

"I think everyone"s frustrated because you definitely don"t want to be losing the series," Johnson said. "But we have so much confidence in the guys that are sitting next to us that we know we can bounce back."

Certainly one of the hallmarks of the Lightning is that they have been through a lot in the past three playoff years. None of this is new. This is not a team that gets flustered.

"I mean, the message would have been a lot different if this is a best-of-three," Cooper said, half-joking.

But the truth of the matter is that this spring, the Lightning have not played a team like the Penguins, and they are realizing what the Rangers and Capitals had to learn the hard way: Running uphill makes winning very, very difficult.

Blake Lively quotes Sir Mix-a-Lot, causing people"s heads to explode

Blake Lively Cannes 2016 Inspired Look | One Brand Tutorial ft L"Oreal

Cover up your early-pregnancy baby body and you"re keeping a secret; acknowledge those curves on social media and you"re -- racist? Maybe, maybe not.

Blake Lively"s curves are kickin", as she pointed out Wednesday on Instagram when she slapped the caption "L.A. face with an Oakland booty" on front and back views of herself arriving at the May 11 premiere and opening night gala for "Cafe Society" at the Cannes Film Festival. In response, people on social media had things of their own to point out.

There"s no practical way to quantify how many comments it took to inspire the "Blake Lively accused of racism" headlines that began popping up after she posted, but the actress, 28, didn"t acknowledge the supposed hubbub and left the image up on her page.

By Thursday, the Instagram comments and Twitter mentions were overwhelmingly supportive, with some people questioning how anyone could interpret the "Baby Got Back" lyric reference as racist and others declaring there were bigger fish to fry when it came to racial politics.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BFhx9lGR4Jj/?hl=en

Maybe people just didn"t get it? Lively was born in 1987. Sir Mix-a-Lot released "Baby Got Back" in 1992, along with its banned-by-MTV music video, which features booty-shaking dancers and the rapper performing on top of massive yellow buttocks. Meanwhile, Instagram has been around only since 2010, Twitter since 2006, and yes, MTV used to play music videos.

For some, the issue was not racism but rather cultural appropriation, which celebrities including Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus and Pharrell have been accused of. Others said they didn"t remember the fundamentals behind "Baby Got Back" pertaining exclusively to women of color.

Khloe Kardashian did something similar to Lively"s post in August 2015, putting the same caption on a shot of her backside taken while out on a Chipotle run with then-boyfriend James Harden. Commenters that time around seemed less obsessed with the socio-political ramifications of her caption and more fixated on whether Kardashian"s b**t was in fact real.

https://www.instagram.com/p/6YNbNrBRuf/

"Pop culture says that if a black girl is to be taken seriously, she has to assimilate and be as white as possible, to the point of bleaching her hair blonde. But the entire point of the song was the opposite," Sir Mix-a-Lot, real name Anthony Ray, told Vulture in 2013 in an oral history about the song he didn"t think would be a hit. It wound up being 1992"s No. 2 seller, behind "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston.

"For the casting of all the dancers, Mix and his friends wanted to have b**t approval," the video"s director, Adam Bernstein, told Vulture. "So the dancers would come in for the audition, and I had to snap a Polaroid of their butts. I was mortified: "OK, now I have to take a close-up picture of your buttocks." But a lot of the women auditioning thought it was hilarious. We took all the Polaroids, and made a giant grid of the buttocks, which we Fed-Exed to Seattle so that Mix and his friends could approve the butts."

Lively probably wouldn"t have made it through the door of the casting office. For the record, the actress, who is expecting her second baby with Ryan Reynolds, actually doesn"t pack much back when she"s not pregnant.

Lively"s rep did not respond to a request for comment.
