1. Le"Veon Bell, Pittsburgh Steelers


#41: Le"Veon Bell (RB, Steelers) | Top 100 NFL Players of 2016

Bells teammate, Antonio Brown, just scored the top spot on our list of the NFLs top outside receivers, so the Steelers 12 punch at the skill positions should be envied by the league. The 48th overall pick in 2013, Bell left college as a bruising workhorse back with questions about his pass-catching prowess and has since become as potent a three-down back as there has been in recent memory. He caught 83 passes during the 2014 season (one more than Rob Gronkowski), en route to 2,200 total yards from scrimmage. He was on an 1,800-plus-yard pace again last season before a knee injury ended his year in Week 8. Bell claims his legs are even stronger now after rehab, but if he even can get back to his 14 form, he should again be as productive as they come.

Ivanka Trump Unveils GOP Nominee Who Is "Color Blind and Gender Neutral"


RNC Day 4: Donald and Ivanka Trump, Peter Thiel & More

Ivanka Trump became her father Donald Trumps ambassador to women Thursday night when she sought to introduce a Republican presidential nominee who prioritizes equal pay and affordable child care.

Speaking ahead of the billionaire businessman, the younger Trump described her father as a color-blind and gender-neutral man who hires the best person for the job, period. Ivanka Trump, who has worked alongside Donald Trump for more than a decade, said the candidate hires people from all walks of life.

While the elder Trump has been the subject of criticism for his comments about women, his daughter assured listeners in Cleveland at the Quicken Loans Arena that Donald Trumps construction sites are true meritocracies.

In a speech that outlined many priorities often highlighted by Democrats, Ivanka Trump also indicated the GOP nominee would make affordable childcare a key issue in his potential presidency. She suggested motherhood created pay inequities and said her father would fight to change that.

Donald Trump will focus on making affordable childcare affordable and accessible for all, Ivanka Trump told the excited crowd. It is important to note, though, that the candidate himself has not yet addressed issues of pay inequality or childcare costs on the campaign trail.

In Ivanka Trumps view, Donald Trump has the kindness and compassion that will enable him to be the leader that this country needs.

I am here to tell you that this is the moment, and Donald Trump is the person, to make America great again, Ivanka Trump said, borrowing her fathers famous slogan. If its possible to be famous, and simultaneously not well-known, that describes the father who raised me.

I have seen him fight for his family, she continued, I have seen him fight for his employees, I have seen him fight for his company, and now, I am seeing him fight for our country.

Closing her remarks, before Donald Trump took the stage to deliver his much-anticipated nomination acceptance speech, she shared of her fathers optimism and love for the United States. She said the New York real estate developer will bring fresh perspective and brave new solutions to the White House, if he succeeds in November.

Hes the single-most qualified person to serve as chief executive of an $18 trillion economy, she asserted.

For Sia, Dance Is Where the Human and the Weird Intersect


Sia - Cheap Thrills (Performance Edit)

In that video, Ms. Zeigler is Sias doppelgnger. With bare feet, thrashing legs and a wild-child innocence Sia described it as a person on the verge of a nervous breakdown she seems primal, even awkward, but in no way erotic.

Sia - Chandelier (Official Video) Video by SiaVEVO

It was very important to me that she not be sexualized in any way on my watch, Sia said. The first time I came to see what Ryan had choreographed, I remember asking for a few curvy hip movements to be changed to gorilla dancing and belly patting. I remember saying flexed foot over pointed foot, and lets make it weirder and throwing some ideas around about facial pulling and eating some pretend ramen.

That back and forth, she said, was how she and Mr. Heffington discovered their language. I couldnt think of anything Id want less than just another video for little girls and boys to watch that tells them: Look pretty! Be sexy! I want my work to say: Get weird! Express yourself freely!

Mr. Heffington doesnt believe that dance is underused in pop music more that it is abused much of the time by adhering to an easy formula. We established the artist and backup dancers, I believe, in the early 80s, he said. There has to be evolution, and there is. Were doing it.

He added: Im impressed when I go and see Beyonc in concert Im absolutely floored by the spectacle. Im not emotionally charged or engaged at all.

Mr. Heffington calls his approach to choreography human based. When you do gestures, everyone knows what that feels like, he said. It doesnt become a superhuman exercise onstage, but rather a story that we all know. Even if you havent been through it, you understand the emotion.

Sia discovered Mr. Heffington when she attended a performance of his 2013 production of KTCHN, a dance installation inspired by the works of the visual artist Nolan Hendrickson, in Los Angeles. At that point, Sia said, she logged him in my mental Rolodex for future collaboration. She added: I was so so inspired by that show. I felt a connection to his work that I rarely, if ever, feel watching other dance.

Mr. Heffington, 43, began his dance training at the age of 8 in Yuba City, Calif.; after moving to Los Angeles in 1991, he found the commercial dance world lacking and began to choreograph on his own, creating pieces for clubs and showcases. In the 90s, along with Bubba Carr, he created Psycho Dance Sho, an adventurous cabaret act that touched on violence and comedy while experimenting with gender-bending. As he put it, there were no rules.

His aesthetic, which wouldnt feel out of place in the downtown New York dance scene, is a poetic mix of Yvonne Rainer, the postmodern dance legend who embraced pedestrian movement, and Darcel or Darcel Leonard Wynne the glamorous Solid Gold dancer. (She is one of his favorites.)

Mr. Heffington, who has choreographed for many artists, including Arcade Fire (We Exist) and Florence and the Machine (The Odyssey), is increasingly in demand. Recently, he worked on Kenzos new perfume campaign, which includes a film directed by Spike Jonze. On Saturday, July 30, he is to unveil a dance at the Broad Museum in Los Angeles for its Summer Happenings series.

As for Sia, Mr. Heffington said he grasped her music visually. Its really easy for me to translate, he said. Its almost always instant. I trust; I feel something. Of course, there is a lot of direction from Sia. Its not a long, painstaking rehearsal process. It comes and, sure, I fine-tune, but I dont work on something and go, Oh my G*d its not working. Its like an inner voice. I cant nitpick, and I cant deconstruct. It kills it for me.

So far, Sia has left the dancing in her videos to others. I love to dance, she said. I have always been the first on the dance floor, but Im not teachable. I couldnt learn five, six, seven, eight if my life depended on it. Ryan keeps trying to convince me to do a video myself, and I find that so flattering, but Im too afraid or lazy. (Please give it a whirl.)

But Mr. Heffington is interested in more than technique: Its not about the extreme conditioning that we sometimes think makes the best dancer, he said. Its more about accessing the human story through dance.

And when he listens to Sias voice, he said, its as if the lyrics are stripped away. G*d knows I dont even know the Chandelier lyrics of course, we didnt do a literal interpretation, so I didnt really have to listen to them, but its not where I draw my inspiration from when Im hearing the music, he said. Its emotional, expressive how the voice snakes up and pulls back.

Matt Cameron Talks "Amazing" Unreleased Temple of the Dog Material


Temple Of The Dog - Hunger Strike

Pearl Jam/Soundgarden/Temple of the Dog drummer Matt Cameron discussed Temple of the Dog in a new Radio interview.

Its the 25th anniversary [of Temple of the Dog], but we had to go through this contentious court battle to get these idiots to give us our master tapes back. And thats when Chris posted that [to Facebook]. But yeah, were figuring that stuff out now, as far as the re-release goes.

He later said, I do not enjoy the current philosophy, where its sort of expected that you release all of your outtakes and rehearsals and demos, I really dont like that aspect of it at all. But the fans really like it, so Im always talked into having those things in our Soundgarden re-releases. Were trying to get Badmotorfinger off right now, were trying to figure out what to put on that, and there were a lot really cool outtakes and things like that. I personally, as a songwriter and as a performer, dont really want people to hear that [laughs]. But I guess as a fan, its cool to hear the inner workings of how a record gets made.

What extras might make it onto the Temple of the Dog reissue?

I think theres probably alternate takes, and I think Chris made demos. But his demos are pretty freaking cool. Some of his demos are amazing. I think that would be OK. But I guess it depends on the quality. But as a musician, I like people to hear the finished product. Its not a deal breaker for me, its more of a philosophical difference I guess. The process of creating music is fantastic, as an artist, but theres got to be some privacy there.
