A U.S. guided-missile submarine arrived in South Korea on Tuesday and envoys from the U.S., Japan and South Korea met in Tokyo, as North Korea marked the anniversary of the founding of its military.

Though experts thought a nuclear test or ballistic missile launch was possible around the anniversary, the morning came and went without either. South Korea's Yonhap news agency, citing a South Korean government source, reported that North Korea instead appeared to have held a major live-fire drill in the Wonsan city area.

NORTH KOREAN GENERAL WARNS OF PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE

Crowds in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, laid flowers and paid respects at giant statues of the country's former leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, one day after the minister of defense reiterated that North is ready to use pre-emptive strikes or any other measures it deems necessary to defend itself against the "U.S. imperialists."

"The situation prevailing on the Korean peninsula is so tense that a nuclear war may break out due to the frantic war drills of the U.S. imperialists and their vassal forces for aggression," Gen. Pak Yong Sik said at a "national meeting" of thousands of senior military and civilian officials.

South Korea's military said it's closely watching North Korean troop movement around Wonsan, but didn't confirm the Yonhap report, which cited an unnamed source to report that the North carried out an exercise involving 300 to 400 artillery pieces.

The streets of Pyongyang were quiet. Flower-laying and bowing at statues and portraits of the leaders is a regular routine on major anniversaries. Groups of people also gathered in open spaces around the city to take part in organized dancing sessions, another common way of marking holidays in North Korea.

"Our great leaders founded and wisely led our revolutionary army, and just like that, now our respected Marshal Kim Jong Un is leading wisely, so even though the situation is tense, we are celebrating the day," said Choe Un Byol, who had come with his family to the bronze statues of the former leaders.

North Korea often marks significant dates by displaying its military capability and has conducted five nuclear tests. Pyongyang launched a missile one day after the 105th birthday of late founder Kim Il Sung on April 15.

Recent U.S. commercial satellite images indicate increased activity around North Korea's nuclear test site, and third-generation dictator Kim Jong Un has said the country's preparation for an ICBM launch is in its "final stage."

South Korea's Defense Ministry has said North Korea appears ready to conduct such "strategic provocations" at any time. South Korean Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, the country's acting leader, has instructed his military to strengthen its "immediate response posture" in case North Korea does something significant on Tuesday's anniversary.

U.S. NAVY GATHERS OFF KOREAS

The nuclear-powered USS Michigan submarine arrived at Busan in what was described as a routine port visit to rest the crew and load supplies. Cmdr. Jang Wook from the South Korean navy public affairs office said there is no plan for any drill.

The submarine's arrival comes as the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier heads toward the Korean Peninsula for a joint exercise with South Korea around the weekend.

Despite the buildup, President Donald Trump has reportedly settled on a strategy that emphasizes increased pressure on North Korea with the help of China, the North's only major ally, instead of military options or trying to overthrow North Korea's government.

WASHINGTON'S WORDS

Trump has told ambassadors from U.N. Security Council member countries that they must be prepared to impose additional and stronger sanctions on North Korea.

"This is a real threat to the world, whether we want to talk about it or not," Trump said at a White House meeting Monday. "North Korea is a big world problem, and it's a problem we have to finally solve. People have put blindfolds on for decades, and now it's time to solve the problem."

Nikki Haley, Trump's U.N. ambassador, said the U.S. isn't looking for a fight with Kim and wouldn't attack North Korea "unless he gives us reason to do something." She praised China's increased pressure on North Korea.

Asked about the threshold for U.S. action, Haley told American broadcaster NBC that "if you see him attack a military base, if you see some sort of intercontinental ballistic missile, then obviously we're going to do that."

But asked what if North Korea tests an intercontinental missile or nuclear device, she said: "I think then the president steps in and decides what's going to happen."

DIPLOMATS MEET IN TOKYO

U.S. representative for North Korea Policy Joseph Yun met Tuesday with his Japanese counterpart Kenji Kanasugi and Kim Hong-kyun of South Korea. Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga told reporters that the three envoys were to deepen cooperation and ensure their countries stay on the same page amid growing tension.

Japan's Foreign Ministry also announced that China's envoy for North Korea, Wu Dawei, is arriving in Tokyo on Tuesday for talks with Kanasugi, which may take place later this week.

Researchers are hoping to create a drug to stop some specific mental illnesses.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Scientists hope they have found a drug to stop all neurodegenerative brain diseases, including dementia.

In 2013, a UK Medical Research Council team stopped brain cells dying in an animal for the first time, creating headline news around the world.

But the compound used was unsuitable for people, as it caused organ damage.

Now two drugs have been found that should have the same protective effect on the brain and are already safely used in people.

"It's really exciting," said Prof Giovanna Mallucci, from the MRC Toxicology Unit in Leicester.

She wants to start human clinical trials on dementia patients soon and expects to know whether the drugs work within two to three years.

Why might they work?

The novel approach is focused on the natural defence mechanisms built into brain cells.

When a virus hijacks a brain cell it leads to a build-up of viral proteins.

Cells respond by shutting down nearly all protein production in order to halt the virus's spread.

Many neurodegenerative diseases involve the production of faulty proteins that activate the same defences, but with more severe consequences.

The brain cells shut down production for so long that they eventually starve themselves to death.

This process, repeated in neurons throughout the brain, can destroy movement, memory or even kill, depending on the disease.

It is thought to take place in many forms of neurodegeneration, so safely disrupting it could treat a wide range of diseases.

In the initial study, the researchers used a compound that prevented the defence mechanism kicking in.

It halted the progress of prion disease in mice - the first time any neurodegenerative disease had been halted in any animal.

Further studies showed the approach could halt a range of degenerative diseases.

The findings were described as a "turning point" for the field even though the compound was toxic to the pancreas.

Neurodegeneration

A neurodegenerative disease is one in which the cells of the brain and spinal cord are lost

The functions of these cells include decision making and control of movements

These cells are not easily regenerated, so the effects of diseases can be devastating

Neurodegenerative diseases include Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, multiple sclerosis and Huntington's

Source: London Brain Centre
Safe drugs?

Since 2013, the research group has tested more than 1,000 ready-made drugs on nematode worms, human cells in a dish and mice.

Two were shown to prevent both a form of dementia and prion disease by stopping brain cells dying.

Prof Mallucci told the BBC News website: "Both were very highly protective and prevented memory deficits, paralysis and dysfunction of brain cells."

The best known drug of the pair is trazodone, which is already taken by patients with depression.

The other, DBM, is being tested in cancer patients.

Prof Mallucci said: "It's time for clinical trials to see if there's similar effects in people and put our money where our mouth is.

"We're very unlikely to cure them completely, but if you arrest the progression you change Alzheimer's disease into something completely different so it becomes liveable with."

But, although trazodone is a current medication, she added: "As a professional, a doctor and a scientists, I must advise people to wait for the results."

What do the experts think?

Dr Doug Brown, from the Alzheimer's Society, said: "We're excited by the potential of these findings, from this well conducted and robust study.

"As one of the drugs is already available as a treatment for depression, the time taken to get from the lab to the pharmacy could be dramatically reduced."

Dr David Dexter, from Parkinson's UK, said: "This is a very robust and important study.

"If these studies were replicated in human clinical trials, both trazodone and DBM could represent a major step forward."

With the exception of the 2015 Chevy FNR concept, Chevy has pretty much proven that its design team is a bunch of 75-year-old retirees with nothing to do but put together boring special edition models like the recent Redline series we saw just a few months ago. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a bow-tie on a concept that was actually on the better side of extreme (with the exception of that first FNR concept, of course.) Well, if you were to stroll into Chevy's booth at Auto Shanghai today, you would see a pretty extreme concept that's being called an FNR-X. At first, I thought to myself "Great; it's just an SUV version of the original FNR." But, I was wrong. So wrong, in fact, that I'm actually impressed with my favorite GM company for the first time in years. The concept you see here mixes things like dynamic digital LED lights with stout and muscular lines that scream 2030, while the interior gets no fewer than eight screens (including the instrument cluster) to go with adaptive ambient lighting and bold styling.

This concept, according to Chevy, is a plug-in hybrid that allows you to switch between two different drive modes - versatility and sport. Chevy didn't elaborate on the drive modes but did say the FNR-X also gets an adaptive suspension, active grille shutters, and switchable wheel blades, all three of which can adjust automatically at high speed to cut down wind resistance. Inside, the seats are mounted to multipurpose rails while the rear seats fold flat, both of which should make for increased cargo room on demand. All interior screens feature OLED technology, while the main system screen is capable of voice recognition and customization based on who is using the system.

No word on that engine, the electric motors, or anything like range and fuel economy, but it does have a drive assistance system that provides autonomous driving and route selection based on road conditions. There's also a HUD that is said to offer augmented reality via the 270-degree, rear-facing camera.
Continue reading for the full story.
Could This be the Future of Chevy Design?

This concept is certainly the best-looking concept we've seen from Chevy in a long time, and it kind of proves that the brand still has some youth left in it. The bold and well-defined lines are gorgeous and work well with that overly aggressive fascia and four-dimensional rear end. The way the running panels appear to be folded upward and the way the rear glass seems to integrate seamlessly with the taillights are all very aesthetically pleasing. The interior is equally as beautiful with a hexagonal theme, flat bottom steering wheel, and that attractive center console. The side view cameras outside display their view on the screens nestled in the corners of the dash while the hexagonal main display appears to hover ever so slightly in front of the dash.

The bold and well-defined lines are gorgeous and work well with that overly aggressive fascia and four-dimensional rear end.

Personally, I would love to see this thing go into production just the way it is, but it's doubtful that it ever will. If it was to go into production, Chevy would slaughter it, and it would lose a majority of the features that make it so awesome in its conceptual form. So, is this the future of Chevy design? Maybe, but it's probably not something we're going to see anytime soon.

Press Release

The Chevrolet FNR-X all-purpose sports concept vehicle made its world premiere today at Auto Shanghai 2017. Chevrolet previously showcased the Chevrolet-FNR (Find New Roads) concept vehicle developed by GM's Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center (PATAC) joint venture at Auto Shanghai 2015.

"The Chevrolet-FNR is one of Chevrolet's most forward-thinking concept cars, truly exemplifying the brand's passion for innovation and ingenuity," said Alan Batey, GM executive vice president and president of GM North America and Global Chevrolet. "The FNR-X builds on the design and technology showcased on the original FNR concept and embodies the belief at Chevrolet's core that anything is possible."

The futuristic-looking FNR-X draws inspiration from and exemplifies the century-old brand's combination of performance and versatility to meet multipurpose mobility demands.

The concept vehicle retains Chevrolet's signature powerful, attractive design language through clear, masculine lines. Dynamic digital LED headlights and taillights combine the brand's characteristic dual-element light design with the mortise and tenon joint used in traditional Chinese woodwork, delivering a high-tech, artistic feeling underpinned by the spirit of craftsmanship. Unique rear-hinged doors that can be controlled remotely ensure easy entry and exit.

The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle can switch between its engine and electric motor, while offering two driving modes: V (Versatility) and S (Sport). The FNR-X can modify its suspension and handling profile thanks to an adaptive suspension that adjusts ground clearance on demand.

The model's intelligent adaptive control systems, active grille shutters and switchable wheel blades adjust automatically during high-speed driving, reducing wind drag. The outstanding aerodynamic performance is further enhanced by front and rear spoilers and side skirts that move up and down in accordance with different driving modes.

The FNR-X has a creative, imaginative interior design that matches its exterior. Intelligent ambient lighting changes colors to match driving modes, making the cabin more user-friendly. Featuring high-tech fabrics, the cabin's hexagonal textures were inspired by graphene crystal structures - signifying the beginning of a new era for new energy.

The steering wheel and dashboard have a sporty integrated design. Seats ride on multipurpose rails and have fixed components to individualize storage space. Split-folding second-row seats maximize cargo capacity.

The FNR-X supports intelligent connected mobility for individual users. It incorporates an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) dynamic display system, a unique intelligent speech interaction system and an ID-customizable information system.

With the all-terrain Advanced Driver Assist System (ADAS), in addition to optical and acoustic recognition sensors all over its body, the FNR-X provides highly autonomous driver assistance by choosing the best route based on its predictions for complex road conditions. Its panoramic intelligent augmented reality head-up display offers a clear 270-degree posterior-lateral view to maximize safety and driving pleasure.

Trump says he will send 'an armada' into Korean waters

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
But its no-show has caused some South Koreans to question his leadership and strategy regarding their unpredictable neighbor in the north.

And as the country prepares to vote for a new president on May 9, the claim could have far-reaching implications for the two countries' relations.

"What Mr. Trump said was very important for the national security of South Korea," Presidential candidate Hong Joon-pyo told the Wall Street Journal.

"If that was a lie, then during Trump's term, South Korea will not trust whatever Trump says,"​ said Hong, who is currently trailing in the polls.

South Korean media also seized on the conflicting reports on Trump's "armada" -- led by the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson.

One newspaper headline called it Trump's "Carl Vinson lie," and speculated that the Russian and Chinese leaders must have had a good laugh at its absence.

Meant to present a robust defense against a potential nuclear test by Pyongyang, the report likened the bluff to North Korea's shows of force, where "fake missiles" are paraded through the streets of the North Korean capital.

"Like North Korea, which is often accused of displaying fake missiles during military parades, is the United States, too, now employing 'bluffing' as its North Korea policy?" it asked.

Sending the armada

In the face of antagonism from North Korea last week, Trump had said the USS Carl Vinson carrier group was being deployed to waters off the Korean Peninsula.

"We are sending an armada. Very powerful," Trump told Fox Business Channel's Maria Bartiromo. "We have submarines. Very powerful. Far more powerful than the aircraft carrier. That, I can tell you."

It turns out the carrier group was never actually steaming towards the peninsula, but rather heading to joint exercises with the Australian navy. US officials insist it's now on its way to the Sea of Japan, known in South Korea as the East Sea. It still hasn't arrived.

South Korea reacts

If Trump's initial declaration was a bluff, it appears to have worked. The anticipated North Korean nuclear test didn't materialize.

But questions remain over the efficacy of the tactic over time.

"I understand strategic ambiguity for military authorities. However, it's different (for a) political leader," Yang Moo-jin, of the University of North Korean Studies, told CNN.

"Trump, (Vice President Mike) Pence and (Secretary of Defense James) Mattis all used this to raise tension and pressure North Korea. Strong nations' power comes from transparency, not the opposite.

"How does the US expect South Koreans to trust the US when its leader bluffs and exaggerates? South Koreans' feelings were hurt considerably by remarks by the leader of a close ally."

Confusion reigns

Trump's initial assurance, in the form of a strong military response, telegraphed a robust defense of the US' stalwart allies, South Korea and Japan.

It also ratcheted tensions on the peninsula, prompting North Korea's deputy ambassador to the UN to warn that the US was risking nuclear war with its actions on the peninsula -- any hostile act is inherently a dangerous calculation when dealing with an unstable actor like North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

A senior administration official later said a miscommunication between the Pentagon and the White House was to blame for the mixed reports.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer, however, compounded the confusion, by doubling down on the President's assertions.

"We have an armada going toward the peninsula. That's a fact," he told a skeptical press corps during his daily briefing on Wednesday, arguing that, in the broadest sense, the president's statement was accurate because the ships would eventually get to the waters between North Korea and Japan.

Meanwhile, the US and South Korean military are currently engaged in joint training exercise at the Kunsan Air Base on the west coast of the Korean Peninsula. North Korea has long objected to the two countries' annual joint maneuvers.

"We've been tasked to do these yearly exercises because we always have to be ready to defend the republic of Korea and we've been doing it obviously for a while and we will keep doing it as need be," Lt. Col. Steven Raspet told CNN.

Political thin ice

The bluff -- if that is what it was -- comes at a precarious time for South Korean politics -- in less than a month, the country will go to the polls to elect a replacement for impeached President Park Geun-hye.

In addition to the comments about US-South Korea relations made by Hong, the presidential candidate from Park's ruling party, the confusion over the US' response to the potential nuclear tests has led to questions about how much the government and the military knew about the location of the Vinson and its group.

Questions about what this means in the context of the election, where Pyongyang's increased belligerence has been a key election talking point, abound.

"Both South Korea and the US are in close cooperation to deter North Korea's provocations and to pursue peace and stability of the Korean peninsula," a South Korean Defense Ministry official said.

"The defense ministry has been and is closely working together with the US military. However, it is inappropriate for the ministry to go into details about the (strength of the) US military operation."

Wounded pride

Some of Trump's comments have also rankled in South Korea. He told the Wall Street Journal -- after getting a primer on regional geopolitics from Chinese President Xi Jinping -- that the Korean peninsula "actually used to be part of China."

South Korea's Foreign Affairs Ministry, in a daily briefing Thursday, announced the government's response to the comments.

"The Ministry is in the process of checking facts with both the US and China through various diplomatic channels," the ministry's spokesperson Cho June-hyuck said.

"The international community unequivocally acknowledges that Korea was never a part of China in its thousands of years of history that no one can deny the fact," he added.

The Washington Post 11 hrs ago Lindsey Bever

John Benjamin Haygood was slouched in a chair with his hand over his eyes, a video shows.

A school resource officer at Okeechobee Achievement Academy in Florida stood over the 10-year-old boy as his mother asked: "Does he have the same rights as an adult?" Then, the officer reached for the young boy's wrists.

"I don't want to be touched," John Benjamin said, throwing his hands in the air. "I don't like to be touched."

His mother, Luanne Haygood, who was filming the emotional scene, said she and her son had been called into the school for state standardizing testing April 12; while they were there, she said, officers arrested her son for an incident that occurred in October.

He spent the night behind bars at a juvenile facility, Haygood said.

Haygood said John Benjamin, who has been diagnosed with autism, had kicked and scratched his paraprofessional educator (also known as an educational assistant) and, unknown to his own family, had an outstanding warrant for battery on a school board employee, a third-degree felony.

In the video of John Benjamin's arrest, which went viral after Haygood posted it on Facebook, her child shouted through tears: "This is so f-- dumb, Mama."

"I didn't know I was going to get arrested like this," the boy added, as the officers secured his wrists. "I don't want to be touched. Please don't touch me."

As the officers escorted the boy to the police vehicle, his mother asked them whether she could ride with her son to the jail; one of the officers told her no.

"I don't know what's going on, Mama!" he screamed. "I don't understand."

"I know, honey," his mother told him. "He has autism - he doesn't know what's going on, he's scared to death, he's 10 years old!"

Haygood, from Okeechobee, Fla., said her son, who was diagnosed with autism two years ago, has had an individualized education plan (IEP) since he started school and was assigned a paraprofessional educator last year. But, Haygood said, he had been having issues with his aide, claiming he was hurting him, and the school would not assign a new one.

On Oct. 27, the educator reported, John Benjamin was being disruptive in class, "throwing paper balls around the classroom and hitting other students," according to a probable cause affidavit.

"When John Benjamin was asked to go to timeout he refused," according to the court records. The educator "attempted to remove the student and sent him back to the timeout place. At this point, John Benjamin started kicking and scratching and punching" him.

The educator "had to restrain the student, he advised he came around the student and wrapped his arms around the upper chest as to not restrict child's breathing," according to the documents.

It was that October incident that led to her son's arrest, Haygood said.

It was not known why the boy's family was not informed of his outstanding warrant.

Scott Badesch, president of the Autism Society of America, said the organization has been in contact with Haygood to help provide support services and legal counsel.

"It appears the school's responses are beyond wrong and evil," he said. "It is a tremendous failure by two allegedly responsible institutions - the police and the school."

Badesch said the Autism Society is examining the case to determine whether it should ask the Justice Department and the Education Department to investigate any wrongdoing.

Similar cases have been seen in other states. The Education Department's Office of Civil Rights is investigating one in Virginia, following a complaint that Richmond public schools unfairly punish black students and students with disabilities more harshly than others.

As The Washington Post's Susan Svrluga reported, the complaint cited state statistics that black students with disabilities were nearly 13 times as likely as non-disabled white students to be punished with short-term suspensions in the 2014-2015 school year.

The complaint, filed in August by the Legal Aid Justice Center and the ACLU of Virginia, also alleged that although students with disabilities made up 17.7 percent of the student population, they accounted for 29.8 percent of students who were suspended short-term and 37.4 percent of students who were suspended long-term.

When asked about John Benjamin's case, Okeechobee County schools spokeswoman Renee Geeting said the district cannot disclose specific information about incidents involving students. But, she noted, the district would not "invite someone to one of our campuses for the sole purpose to arrest."

"The district routinely assists students by providing services from our board certified behavioral analyst, licensed mental health counselors, school social workers, and psychologists," she added in a statement. "As a team, these individuals develop interventions, conduct assessments, and offer support both at school and in the home in order to assist students and families."

Prosecutor Ashley Albright said he is meeting, Wednesday afternoon, with the paraprofessional who pressed charges. Albright said the State Attorney's Office will take the boy's special needs into consideration when determining how to proceed with the case and added that juveniles are treated differently by the justice system anyway.

When asked what she hopes to accomplish by going public with the arrest video, Haygood said she just wants her son "to have the same education every other child is entitled to and receives."

John Benjamin is due in court for his arraignment May 11.

After Bill O'Reilly's ouster from Fox News on Wednesday, host Tucker Carlson is all set to take the 8 p.m. slot on the channel, starting Monday, the channel said. The decision came soon after 21st Century Fox announced that O'Reilly would not return to the network amid sexual harassment allegations.

Carlson began hosting the show "Tucker Carlson Tonight" in November after former host Megyn Kelly quit Fox News. Carlson enjoyed a strong debut with 3.7 million viewers, network executives said, according to Deadline.
Read: Fox News Explores Potential Replacements For Bill O'Reilly
Here are 10 facts about Carlson who will replace O'Reilly on Fox News from next week:

1) Carlson began his journalism career in 1993 at Little Rock's Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, where he was an editorial writer.

2) Carlson quit CNN following a heated argument with Jon Stewart on Crossfire in 2004.

3) Carlson was a contestant on the reality show "Dancing With the Stars" in 2006.

4) "The O'Reilly Factor," which has been the top-rated show on cable TV news for a long time, will be replaced at 8 p.m. by Carlson's show, "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

5) Carlson's show at Fox News will test whether the channel's viewers are loyal to any particular anchors or to the network at large. When Kelly left the network to join NBC in January, her audience did not stop watching the channel. In fact, after she quit, Carlson has had higher ratings on 9 p.m. show, according to the New York Times.

6) This will be Carlson's third time-slot change in the past four months. Since January, Carlson has been the replacement for three departing Fox stars: Greta Van Susteren, Kelly and, now, O'Reilly, the Times reported.

7) Carlson has been criticized for promoting tone-deaf views on gender and for being dismissive of female guests on his show for years.

8) Although Carlson is a conservative, he reportedly disagreed with former President George W. Bush on a number of issues, including the Iraq war. Carlson supported the war at first, but by 2004 he had turned on Bush for it.

9) One issue that Carlson has had disagreements with his fellow conservatives for many years is same-sex marriage. Carlson has been supporting it even before it became the law of the land.

10) Carlson is an avid fan of the American rock band Grateful Dead, which was formed in 1965.

OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Golden State Warriors clamped down on the Portland Trail Blazers 110-81 to take a 2-0 series lead, in a dominant defensive performance that belied their injury issues.

Yes, the Warriors were down just 1 of 4 All-Stars, but they were vulnerable going into this one. Not only was Kevin Durant out with his strained left calf, but Golden State was also without the services of Shaun Livingston and Matt Barnes. Rookie second rounder Patrick McCaw would have to start (He acquitted himself nicely, by the way). While few teams are better equipped to handle the absence of three wings in their rotation, the Dubs were, as coach Steve Kerr put it in pregame, "pretty thin."

Perhaps that's why Stephen Curry started out aggressively hunting his own shot, going hero ball on a couple early 3-point attempts. Usually Curry likes to set the table early on, but given Golden State's holes, it was on him to self-generate some offense. He had an off shooting night, but his attack mode was generally beneficial, as illustrated by his plus-32 mark in 31 minutes of play.

Golden State got a solid start from center Zaza Pachulia (4-of-4, 8 points on the evening) and continued to punish the Blazers with their bigs. While center was supposed to be a weakness after this roster saw Andrew Bogut traded and lost Festus Ezeli to free agency, the Warriors' bigs have exceeded expectations this season. Game 2 was a showcase beyond Draymond Green's normally excellent play as a substitute center (a high-energy 12-rebound, 10-assist game from Draymond).

JaVale McGee, for example, has allayed many a doubt while flat-out producing this season. Maligned for much of his career due to a lack of playing awareness, McGee was locked into this playoff game. He got rolling after a typical Golden State post-timeout roll-to-lob play, and just kept bullying the Blazers' small lineups. Not only was McGee on point with his finishes, but he was a timely, disruptive defender on the other end.

In the second quarter, when Golden State's lead whittled down to 1, McGee was the unlikely savior (He finished the second quarter as the only Warriors player in the plus column). By the time halftime buzzer sounded, McGee had gone 6-of-6 for 13 points, with 3 blocks. He finished perfect, going 7-for-7 with 15 points in his 13 minutes.

David West was no slouch either, as he continued to pass brilliantly, most especially to Ian Clark with whom West has a special connection. He also augmented Golden State's perimeter defense, stepping up when needed to contain Portland's 3-point attack.

And boy was it contained. Klay Thompson, witness in Game 1 to a Damian Lillard first-half scoring barrage, gave no country in Game 2 to Portland's star, or anyone for that matter. The Blazers shot 3-of-11 for 6 points with Thompson as primary defender, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Not only that, but every one of those 11 shots was contested. The best of these plays came in the third quarter, when Lillard drove and rose, possibly for a hammering finish. Thompson loaded up and rose with him, blocking Lillard with force as McGee flew over for backup. With Lillard splayed on the floor, the Warriors ran in the other direction, quickly finishing a stylish response. Curry whipped a pass over to Thompson and threw his firsts in the air as Thompson's angle 3-pointer sailed to its target.

One major difference from Game 1 to Game 2? The Warriors did not let Lillard or CJ McCollum get clean looks. According to ESPN Stats & Info, just one of their combined 34 FG attempts in Game 2 was uncontested. In Game 1, they had 11 open looks out of 54 attempts.

The third quarter essentially ended the game. It started out with a Curry 3-pointer off a screen, followed by a laborious Pachulia layup, then a Curry pick-6 style fast break. By the time the 12 minutes had elapsed, the Warriors had rendered Portland's offense anemic, squeezing it into 12 points over that timespan.

The Warriors went into this expecting a battle, given their diminished state. Instead, they imposed their will. They did it starting a rookie second rounder. They did it with Curry and Thompson combining to shoot 12-of-35. While it would be easy for the Warriors to fret over when Durant returns, it would be difficult to find fault with how they performed in his absence.

how 4/20 became 'Weed Day'

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
April 20, or 4/20, is known as "Weed Day" in some circles because the date corresponds with a numerical code for marijuana.

Yes, it seems arbitrary. So how did the number 420 come to represent smoking pot?

First, let's get the myths and rumors out of the way:

The legend of the California penal code

Some claim the number is drawn from the California criminal codes used to punish the use or distribution of marijuana. But the state's 420 code actually applies to obstructing entry on public land. So, not quite.

But the rumor sounds a lot like ...

The legend of the police radio code

Neither LAPD nor NYPD even have a code 420. San Francisco Police have one, but it's for a "juvenile disturbance."

So never mind that theory.

The legend of the Dylan song

This one is a nod to Bob Dylan's song, "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" and its lyric, "Everybody must get stoned."

Multiply 12 by 35 and you get 420.

Seems a bit of a stretch. And Dylan himself has never confirmed any link.

The story that appears to hold the most water is ...

The legend of the Waldos

According to Chris Conrad, curator of the Oaksterdam Cannabis Museum in Oakland, California, 420 started as a secret code among high schoolers in the early 1970s.

A group of friends at San Rafael High School in Marin County, California, who called themselves "the Waldos," would often meet at 4:20 p.m. to get high.

For them, it was an ideal time: They were out of school but their parents still weren't home, giving them a window of unsupervised freedom. They met at that time every day near a statue of Louis Pasteur, the scientist who pioneered pasteurization.

The 4:20 time became a code for them to use in front of their unsuspecting parents, and 420 gradually spread from there -- possibly via Grateful Dead followers -- across California and beyond. It's even the number of a California Senate bill that established the state's medial marijuana program.

What was shorthand for a group of friends can now be seen on T-shirts, in Tinder bios (420 friendly) and throughout pop culture.

And of course, on the calendar every April.
