SPORTS NEWS: Brad Stevens Hired As Coach For Boston Celtics
From USA Today:
Brad Stevens will be the next coach of the Boston Celtics, the team announced in a press release Wednesday.
Stevens, who just finished his sixth season at the school, led the Bulldogs to consecutive national title games in 2010 and 2011.
“Our family is thrilled for the opportunity given to us by the leadership of the Boston Celtics, but it is emotional to leave a place that we have called home for the past 13 years,” Stevens said in a statement released by Butler University.
“We truly love Butler University and Indianapolis, and are very thankful to have had the opportunity to celebrate so many wonderful things together. What makes Butler truly unique is the people that we have been so blessed to work with. When it comes time for our kids to look at schools, we will start with Butler University.”
Stevens replaces Doc Rivers, who recently was hired by the Los Angeles Clippers. The Celtics received a first-round draft pick as compensation.
The hiring of Stevens comes after Boston also dealt Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Brooklyn Nets, leaving the team in a rebuilding mode.

50 Cent Charged With Domestic Violence For Allegedly Kicking The Mother Of His Child
From TMZ:
50 Cent has been charged with domestic violence after the rapper allegedly kicked his baby mama and destroyed a bunch of property in her condo last month … TMZ has learned.
The L.A. City Attorney tells TMZ … 50 is accused of causing $7,100 in damage during the June 23 incident, which took place inside the victim’s condo in Toluca Lake, Ca.
According to officials, LAPD officers were called to the scene … and the woman told cops she had gotten into an altercation with 50 and locked herself in the bedroom.
50 — real name Curtis Jackson — allegedly got so mad, he kicked down the door and kicked her, resulting in an injury.
Officials say the 37-year-old rapper is also accused of breaking chandeliers, furniture, a TV and a lamp — and allegedly ransacked the bedroom closet — during his rampage.
Officials say 50 left the scene before cops arrived.
50 has been hit with 5 charges in total — including 1 count misdemeanor domestic violence and 4 counts of misdemeanor vandalism.
If convicted on all counts, 50 could face up to five years in jail and $46,000 in fines.
50 is due in court to be arraigned on July 22.
We’ve reached out to 50 ‘s camp for comment — so far, no word back.

Catholic Group Posts Video Of Gruesome Beheading In Syria
If you really want to see the video in question, you can click to the next page below. From CNN:
Catholic Online — a news and information outlet — put the video on its website Monday. It shows the slaughtering of three people in northern Syria’s Idlib province. The site says one of the three is Father Francois Murad.
Those carrying out the acts “speak Arabic with a broken accent, saying that through this act, they are applying the law of God,” Catholic Online says. People in the crowd appear to be taking videos of the executioners.
“It is very important the world knows that Christians are being murdered for their faith, and that martyrdom isn’t an ancient phenomenon,” Catholic Online said in a report Monday.
“This should make it clear to Christians around the world what jihadists are about. Make no mistake. Catholics and Christians around the globe are under dire threat, particularly from the spread of militant Islam. Until the threat is recognized and taken seriously, martyrdoms like this will continue.”
Troy Ave – Tapout
Troy Ave drops another loose track before his mixtape drops (tomorrow, I believe).
Arrest Warrant For 49ers Ahmad Brooks Rescinded
From USA Today:
An arrest warrant alleging that San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks hit a teammate on the head with a beer bottle has been shelved at the request of prosecutors, a court spokesman said Wednesday.
Authorities in San Jose sought the warrant last week to arrest Brooks on suspicion of committing felony assault with a deadly weapon. A judge signed it last Thursday, but the county district attorney’s office asked to have it set aside the next day, Santa Clara Superior Court spokesman Joe Macaluso said.
A call to the district attorney’s office was not immediately returned Wednesday.
According to police, Brooks hit teammate Lamar Divens with the bottle three times and then punched him in the face during an early morning argument on June 8. The alleged attack left Divens with a 3-inch cut on his forehead, according to police statements accompanying the warrant application.
Brooks, Divens, and others had been drinking and went to a bar before returning to Brooks’ house. Divens pretended to throw Brooks’ keys in the grass, though he had actually held onto the keys, prompting the attack, according to the statements.
Investigators were told Brooks was intoxicated and had threatened to get a gun, according to the statements.
Macaluso said requests by prosecutors not to execute arrests warrants are not uncommon.
A person who answered the telephone at a number listed for Brooks referred comment to the 49ers. The team said in an email that it was aware of the situation, but would not comment for now.
Military Ousts Morsy In Egypt Coup
From CNN, where you can read the full story:
Egypt’s military deposed the country’s first democratically elected president Wednesday night, installing the head of the country’s highest court as an interim leader, the country’s top general announced.
Gen. Abdel-Fatah El-Sisi said the military was fulfilling its “historic responsibility” to protect the country by ousting Mohamed Morsy, the Western-educated Islamist leader elected a year ago. The country’s constitution has been suspended, new parliamentary elections will be held and Adly Mansour, the head of the country’s Supreme Constitutional Court, will replace Morsy, El-Sisi said.
Mansour will have the power to issue constitutional declarations during the interim period and will “establish a government that is a strong and diverse,” the armed forces chief said. He said Morsy “did not achieve the goals of the people” and failed to meet demands to share power with opponents who thronged the streets of Cairo and Tahrir Square.
Those crowds erupted as the announcement was made on Egyptian television shortly after 9 p.m. (3 p.m. ET). But Morsy supporters gathered in another Cairo plaza vowed to oppose the coup, chanting “Down with military rule” and “The square has a million martyrs.”
And in statements posted on the presidential Facebook and Twitter pages, Morsy said his ouster would be “categorically rejected by all the free men of our nation.”
“The president — who is also the supreme commander of the armed forces — tells all citizens, civilians and military, leaders and soldiers, must abide by the constitution and should not respond to the coup which brings Egypt behind,” he said. “Everyone must take responsibility before God, people and history.”
