Some residents feel burned by opt-out pot ordinances
On Nov. 6, 56 percent of Michigan voters cast ballots in favor of Proposal 1, which legalized the use, possession and sale of recreational marijuana.
In Berrien County, 33,193 residents voted for approval, and 28,857 voted against it.
Since the vote, local governments here and across the state, including St. Joseph, Oronoko Township and Niles, have taken advantage of the opt-out provision to prohibit commercial marijuana operations within their boundaries, including retail sales and grow operations.
Unlike Michigan's medical marijuana law, which requires communities to opt in to proposed commercial ventures, Proposal 1 permits such venues unless a location has passed an opt-out ordinance.
There has a been a backlash to these measures, with residents complaining that leaders are acting against the wishes of voters.
Buchanan city commissioners backed away from an opt-out proposal after hearing objections from citizens. Coloma officials are waiting on a vote to opt out until they hear from a company that drafts laws to allow marijuana businesses.
St. Joseph Mayor Mike Garey said he hasn't heard a lot of comments after commissioners approved their opt-out ordinance Monday. But many comments on The Herald-Palladium's Facebook page castigated officials for passing on possible tax revenue from marijuana sales.
"Always wanting to raise millage but don't want the tax dollars from pot sales. I know who I'm not voting for next election," one post stated, referring to a millage increase this year for street repairs.
Other posts said they weren't against retail pot shops, but didn't want to see them downtown. Sales are prohibited with 1,000 feet of schools. Communities can use their zoning laws to regulate signs, hours of business and other provisions.
Proposal 1 allows residents to submit petitions to put the issue of locating commercial operations on the ballot.
The response indicates the gap between residents and elected officials. One survey found that only 21 percent of elected representatives supported passage of Proposal 1.
Buchanan commissioners this week withdrew their opt-out ordinance, explaining that they did not want to go against the will of voters, who in the city supported Proposal 1 by a vote of 833 to 660.
St. Joseph voters gave a thumbs-up to Proposal 1 by a tally of 2,439 to 1,649 against.
Many governments are pushing the opt-out button at least until state regulations are set, which is expected to take about a year.
"We're in a holding pattern," Garey said, until there is a final resolution from the state. Once the rules are set, Garey said commissioners expect to talk to residents about how to go forward. The city's attorney told commissioners that passing the opt-out ordinance doesn't prevent them from revisiting the issue.
Opting out of marijuana sales does not prohibit residents from possessing and using marijuana in their own homes. No public use is allowed.
The amount of tax revenue that could be generated by marijuana sales is "an unknown," Garey said.
The law sets aside 35 percent of tax receipts for both roads and schools, and 15 percent for municipalities and counties where commercial businesses are located. There will be a 6 percent sales tax on marijuana, plus a 10 percent excise tax.
There are wide-ranging estimates on potential tax revenue, based on the track records of other states that have legalized recreational marijuana. The Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, which supported legalization, estimated that statewide revenue would be $134 million a year by 2023. It anticipated that $520 million in tax revenue could be generated between 2020 and 2024.
At this figure, there would be $93.8 million for roads and schools, and $40.2 million to be divided among locations with commercial pot operations. The law sets aside the first $20 million generated for research, including the use of marijuana for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome.
The Senate Fiscal Agency projected annual tax revenue at $287 million by 2023. It also estimated costs of $26 million for law enforcement and regulation.
Opponents of legalization said that tax revenue would be a drop in the bucket compared to the state's overall budget.
With a great amount of confusion being raised by the new law, the Michigan Municipal League is hosting a series of seminars to answer the questions of local officials, including a session on Dec. 4 in Cassopolis.
Having a large number of communities opt out of allowing marijuana sales is not unprecedented. In Colorado, which legalized recreational pot in 2014, 75 percent of communities prohibited commercial businesses.
In Michigan, three-quarters of municipalities chose to opt out of allowing medical marijuana dispensaries, after the substance became legal in 2008. Benton Harbor and Buchanan are among the local municipalities that are welcoming medical marijuana operations.

The beauty of Fall is upon us along with its distinct temperament. What a great contrast it seems to be — the unwelcoming, cold air outside with the indoor coziness that beckons us to our favorite comfy chair and the warmth of a crackling fireplace.
This time of year is the perfect time to knit, and lately I find myself becoming reacquainted (and highly entertained!) with cables. All that glorious texture!
Quadri Hat, shown in Plucky Cormo in color Like, Toad-ally.
Crosstown Hat, shown in Plucky Cormo in color Twill.
Twill. If ever there was a neutral to hover the line between warm and cool, it's Twill. The perfect neutral to show off all the intricate cables. Twill, always and forever.
Starlet. Just the right amount drama (and just how I like my drama) in this gorgeously broody red.
In A Jif. The quintessential camel – but nothing flat at all about this color. Nuanced neutral at its best.
Like, Toad-ally. Toad is totally the perfect dark and broody green. It, too, hovers that line of warm and cool and flatters so many skin tones. Toad, how I love thee.
Dive Bar. A bright and deep navy blue.
Sticky Toffee. As delicious to knit with as the dessert namesake is to eat!
In addition to our new Cormo, we offering a selection of bases that really bring out the very best in each of the colorways offered.

I find few things comparable to the beauty of a Michigan Fall and those broody skies we see this time of year. This welcomed time is full of ample excuses (the weather from those broody skies for example!) for having a warm cup of something in hand at all times while cozying up to the fire with knitting that you just can't seem to put down. As makers, we take great pleasure in the feeling of contentedness we receive as we surround ourselves (and those we love) in wraps, hats, blankets, and sweaters that we have made with our own two hands.
While we bask in our love of all things autumn, we would like to invite you to join us over on the blog Thursday, November 1st and Friday, November 2nd (while supplies last!) for a Skies of November & Barely Birch update, and to celebrate the changing of the seasons, everything is 15% off!
In addition to being able to get both of these broody offerings we will also have 3 and 5 skein mysteries that include one or both of the sale colorways ~ it's your choice! We love making mystery kits for you!

It's time for our next Spotlight Update! For this one we're putting the spotlight on Pinks and Oranges!

We've paired the pinks with a fantastic selection of oranges…how much more Summery and juicy can you get?! And, of course, there's a handful of neutrals to round out the palette. In addition to all of this excitement, we're pleased to present three brand new colorways…POG, Clementine, and Blackboard (speaking of a new neutral)!

SAN DIEGO and KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii, Oct. 1, 2013 — SAN DIEGO and KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii, Oct. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Cellana, a leading developer of algae-based feedstocks for biofuels, animal feed/food and Omega-3 nutritional oils, announced today that Valerie Harmon has been appointed as Cellana's senior director of Research and Development (Kona), Xuemei Bai, Ph.D., has been promoted to senior director of Research and Development (San Diego) and Selena Ellis-Vizcarra has been promoted to senior director of Corporate Development.
Harmon has over 25 years of experience in industrial-scale and commercial-scale algae production and will assume primary responsibility for the large-scale production of algae biomass in Cellana's Kona Demonstration Facility. Prior to joining Cellana, she most recently served as director of Cultivation, Environment and Safety Systems with Aurora Algae. Before Aurora, Harmon served in multiple roles with Cyanotech Corporation, a world leader in the commercial production of algae-based astaxanthin and spirulina for nutraceutical applications, including as director of Cultivation and director of Business Development and Animal Feeds and technical sales manager. She is a co-author on numerous toxicology, oyster aquaculture and algae-related publications. Harmon has a B.S. in biology from Davidson College and a master's degree in agriculture, aquaculture and business strategy from Oregon State University.
Since 2008, Dr. Bai has served as a key member of Cellana's R&D department with increasing levels of responsibility and is Cellana's principal investigator for multiple grant programs funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and/or Department of Agriculture (USDA). She currently leads Cellana's efforts in algal strain development for ReNew™ Omega-3, ReNew™ Fuel and ReNew™ Feed products in both of Cellana's ALDUO™ mid-scale screening and cultivation system as well as the ALDUO™ large-scale cultivation system at the Kona Demonstration Facility. In addition to her focus on upstream algal cultivation technology for bioproducts development, Dr. Bai also works with downstream partners on algae biomass processing, including lipid extraction, purification of Omega-3s and biofuels refining. Dr. Bai has a B.S. in fisheries from Dalian Fisheries University in Dalian, China, a master's degree in aquatic biology from Huazhong Agricultural University in Wuhan, China and a Ph.D. in marine science from the University of Southern Mississippi, Stennis Space Center, where her Ph.D. research was focused on photosynthetic carbon flux direction (i.e., oils, sugars and proteins) under different environmental regimes and separation techniques for photosynthetic end products of algae.
Ellis-Vizcarra has served as a key member of Cellana's Corporate Development department since 2011. Under her leadership, Cellana has obtained, negotiated and executed more than four multi-million-dollar federally funded programs during her tenure at Cellana, amounting to over $5 million in revenue for Cellana.

The other night I found a credit card receipt from The Pampered Chef. This is one of those Tupperware party kind of things that women go to and overpay for stuff because they feel guilty for insulting the party giver if they don't buy something. I told Laura before she went to that party to not buy anything. I had just started my own business and had made it clear in a Family Meeting that we're going to restrict our spending until I see what kind of cash flow we're going to have. We were to buy nothing unless we could eat it.
So, as Laura was heading off to this Pampered Chef party the other day and I told her not to buy anything, she told me she was getting a free meal out of it so I should relax. I can't remember if she explicitly agreed to not buy anything but I know she heard and understood my request to not-buy-anything.
What was she thinking? I stewed over this all night. Laura was already asleep when I found the receipt. I didn't think I should wake her up to discuss this. I knew that wouldn't go over well. So I stayed up thinking about how I'd approach this in the morning.
I avoided my wife for a while the next morning. When I could avoid her no longer I told her I thought we agreed that she wasn't going to buy anything at that party. Laura calmly told me she bought me a birthday present. A $22.26 birthday present. She bought something inexpensive which is exactly what I would have wanted her to do. And I bet it's an incredibly thoughtful gift.
Man did I feel like a heel.
I've been reading lately about biases. In The Principles of Product Development Flow, Donald G. Reinertsen says that psychologists know that "…[humans] have a general bias to interpret the behavior of other people negatively."
• Actor–observer bias – the tendency for explanations of other individuals' behaviors to overemphasize the influence of their personality and underemphasize the influence of their situation (see also Fundamental attribution error), and for explanations of one's own behaviors to do the opposite (that is, to overemphasize the influence of our situation and underemphasize the influence of our own personality).
• Fundamental attribution error – the tendency for people to over-emphasize personality-based explanations for behaviors observed in others while under-emphasizing the role and power of situational influences on the same behavior (see also actor-observer bias, group attribution error, positivity effect, and negativity effect).
• Bias blind spot – the tendency to see oneself as less biased than other people.
• Negativity bias – the tendency to pay more attention and give more weight to negative than positive experiences or other kinds of information.
• Availability cascade – a self-reinforcing process in which a collective belief gains more and more plausibility through its increasing repetition in public discourse (or "repeat something long enough and it will become true").
• Halo effect – the tendency for a person's positive or negative traits to "spill over" from one area of their personality to another in others' perceptions of them (see also physical attractiveness stereotype).
• Illusion of asymmetric insight – people perceive their knowledge of their peers to surpass their peers' knowledge of them.
• Illusion of transparency – people overestimate others' ability to know them, and they also overestimate their ability to know others.
• Illusory superiority – overestimating one's desirable qualities, and underestimating undesirable qualities, relative to other people. (Also known as "Lake Wobegon effect," "better-than-average effect," or "superiority bias").
• Ingroup bias – the tendency for people to give preferential treatment to others they perceive to be members of their own groups.
• Projection bias – the tendency to unconsciously assume that others (or one's future selves) share one's current emotional states, thoughts and values.
But why would I assume the worst of my spouse? That's ridiculous. Of all the people in the world, I should not have these biases towards her. If this can happen within my family, how much more so can it happen in the workplace?
What I learned from this experience is how real these biases are and how on-guard we as humans need to be. Poor communication skills (or just a simple mismatch in communication styles), fear of reprisal and fear of confrontation can make matters worse. The problem with poor communication is we always assume it's the other person who can't communicate.
How do you encourage that other than posting it and reviewing it before retrospectives?
And in Coaching Agile Teams, Lyssa Adkins says to "...create a positive regard for them. Do this by changing your view of them. Regard the person as a human being with hopes, dreams and desires (like your own) so that you can approach them with love and compassion..."
How do you foster this in an organization?
This tendency [toward bias] is reduced when we get to know others as complex hum beings, much like ourselves. Task related (job related) communications by itself is not enough to create an appreciation of this complexity. Non-task-related interpersonal communication that comes from colocation is key to developing cohesive teams.
Chats around the water cooler, going out to lunch together, after-work drinks, post iteration and post release celebrations and kick offs beforehand are good things to try. Fantasy football and office baby birth date/weight pools and the like can help. Team working agreements (norms) posted on a big visible chart can help. Praying daily for your co-workers by name helps remarkably well. Other ideas?
We can bring up the elephant in the room in our retrospectives, but other than just hashing it out, what techniques or exercises have you found useful?
Most of us don't enjoy a tense and confrontational workplace. Likewise, most of us don't recognize how much we ourselves contribute to that situation.
What additional advice do you have to combat bias, increase non-task-related interpersonal communication and improve interpersonal relationships?
Thanks for this. I've bookmarked the bias list at wikipedia, and shared your link. I suppose it would be good to make a short list of these for AIAF?
I sometimes will (at least mentally, sometimes out loud) describe another as "my new best friend" if I want to place myself in a state where I can hear them. It is, I suppose, putting several of these biases to work in my favor. When dealing with someone who others find socially difficult, it has worked in my advantage. Sometimes I even actually end up with a new best friend, in addition to a very productive working relationship.
Maybe there is something useful in learning to use or adopt biases on a temporary basis, semi-clinically, to boost your empathy and build a relationship.
Ah, yes. My post was about avoiding the negative biases, but a great companion post would be on how to use bias in a positive way. Nice.

Mike Gundy Releases Statement on Mike Leach's Passing
RIP Mike Leach.
Marshall Scott
[Devin Wilber/PFB]
The college football world lost a great one Monday night with the passing of Mike Leach.
Leach, who was a head coach at Texas Tech, Washington State and Mississippi State, died Monday at 61 after complications related to a heart condition. Leach was an innovator whose offensive philosophies have, in many ways, shaped American football, and he did that right alongside Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State's coach, when the two shared five years together in the Big 12 as head coaches.
"Mike Leach was one of a kind." Gundy said in a statement Tuesday morning. "I had the privilege of knowing him for many years. He was always fun, we enjoyed our time together and he had a brilliant football mid. My thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family."
Aside from sharing some offensive philosophies, Leach and Gundy also shared a similar humor.
In 2020, Leach tweeted a picture about toilet paper that said "Beards are cool. Mullets are bad." He then made an amendment about Gundy's mullet.
"Mike Gundy is the exception," Leach tweeted. "His mullet is grandfathered in over time. It is an iconic symbol of Oklahoma State!"
Some time before that, Gundy was asked who he thought would win in a coaches battle royale. With Leach's saying of "swing your sword," Gundy didn't want to count him out.
"The other guy you gotta watch out for is Mike Leach because he'll have a sword," Gundy said. "If Leach has a sword, he knows how to use it. He's been trained and very talented with the weapon. He would be a tough guy to beat."


Over a period of three days in March, several hundred Farmington residents participated in a charrette led by Dodson & Flinker and Mullin Associates. Through a series of activities, including site visits, mapping, discussion, and physical modeling, participants helped brainstorm goals and strategies for shaping the future of Farmington Center. The discussion focused on how to overcome challenges presented by a state highway bisecting the Center and on-going development pressure. The workshops provided an important step toward helping the Town create a vision for a vibrant, prosperous, walkable town center.


This was, for me, a return after forty years to a place that is beyond precious to me – and a chance to share it with Ted.
We drove from Edinburgh to Keswick in England. Rather, Ted drove and I flinched; driving on the left takes some getting used to for both the driver and the passenger! We checked into our sweet VRBO and set out to explore Keswick (even returning to a pub I had visited 40 years ago!).
From our house we could walk to the nearest lake, Derwentwater. We took the path out to Friar's Crag.
The next morning we drove down to Buttermere to take a hike along Crummockwater. All the rusty bits on the hillsides are bracken in fall colors.
Our first stop the next day was the neolithic Castlerigg stone circle. It is situated on a plateau with 365 degree views of the peaks around it.
Then we drove down along Ullswater to Windermere and Ambleside.
Finally we arrived at our goal for the day, Grasmere. A sleepy little town, home to William Wordsworth.
I hope this gives you some sense of why the Lake District is one of my favorite places on earth!

Q: How to exclude an object's id property before or during $.toJSON I'm writing a custom REST adapter for ember-data users with a django rest framework app and need to build a JSON string to do POST/PUT. The only problem is I can't seem to chain another jQuery method after the $.toJSON that removes this.
So far I have an ember.js object that I plan to extract each property from, except my django app doesn't want the id to go along with the HTTP POST
I can get a legit string like so
$.param(record.toJSON());

This results in the following
id=0&username=dat

I'd like a quick way to exclude id when I do this toJSON (does this exist w/ out writing it by hand?) Using jQuery 1.8+
Thank you in advance

A: Turns out this was really simple
var json_data = record.toJSON();
delete json_data.id;
var data = $.param(json_data);

Now instead of
id=0&username=dat

I now get
username=dat

"The most important contribution of the arts is giving identity to a country or region"
Culture June 2017
John W. O'Hagan, Trinity College, Dublín;
In this interview, John O'Hagan explains the numerous benefits that the arts bring to society, from their contribution to the formation of a collective identity to their positive impact on the economy.
Cultural Participation in Spain: Antecedents and Opportunities
Culture May 2017
Tally Katz-Gerro, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Haifa; Martin Falk, Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO);
The level of cultural participation in our country is similar to that of other European countries, with the exception of the Nordic countries. From a comparative perspective, this article by the Social Observatory of "la Caixa" analyses the effects of education level, age, income and some variables of the employment situation on attendance rates.
"The profile of the Spanish cultural consumer is similar to its European counterpart"
Victor Fernández Blanco, Associate Professor of Foundations of Economic Analysis at the Department of Economics of the University of Oviedo, and specialist in the field of the economics of culture;
Víctor Fernández Blanco builds up a diagnosis regarding cultural participation, highlighting the different consumer profiles and the changes that these reflect in their behaviours and routines.
Attendance at Publicly-Funded Arts Events

What is the cause behind such a high disparity in the participation rates in cultural offerings financed using public funds? Does this have a direct relationship with the population's level of education?


Nutrition for Basketball Players: What The Pro's Eat To Stay Lean & STRONG!
This work, "Nutrition For Basketball ", is a derivative of "Lebron James" by Keith Allison & "Beautiful Picture Of Healthy Food" by Med Coolman, used under CC BY. "Nutrition For Basketball" is licensed under CC BY by BallTillWeFall.com.
One thing you need to learn early on in your career is the importance of nutrition for basketball players.
You're spending countless hours in the gym training to improve and be better at your sport, but what if what you're eating is reversing all your hard work.
Yes, you're putting in the time at the gym and in the weight-room training to become a stronger basketball player, but then you hit the drive through or gas station and all that hard work takes a hit.
One professional basketball player that illustrates the difference proper nutrition can have on performance is Dwight Howard.
You see DHoward has a love of sugar – he was eating two dozen chocolate bars every day!
It was starting to impact his game on the court.
He looked healthy on the outside, but on the inside he began to feel the negative side effects of his diet.
Once he made the commitment to sacrifice his poor eating habits and changed up his diet, he started to feel the difference.
With better nutrition, his endurance improved and his energy levels became more consistent.
It was also around this time that he packed on a heap of lean muscle, resulting in the impressive physique he maintains to this day.
Don't let bad nutrition choices bring your game down.
Figure out what works for your body and have the accountability to be smart when it comes to the food you're putting back into your body.
We're going to breakdown some tips to consider when you're figuring out what to put on your plate and give you some ideas of what the pro basketball players eat before and after games.
Wan't to see the TOP 5 Programs Ballers Are Using To Improve Their Game? Check out #1 on this list!

Nutrition is going to be different for every baller.
Each player has a different body and different needs come along with that – some basketball players may need to lose weight, gain weight, or maintain weight.
With that being said, you and your teammates may not be eating the same foods or portion sizes.
Be aware of your needs and try not to compare it to others.
You need to stay on your diet plan and be accountable of what has been laid out for you to follow.
Check out the video below outlining how college student athletes are now provided with customized eating plans to help optimize in game performance.
A Pre-Game Drink To Get Hyped!
There's a number of ways to figure out what food you need to consume to be at your best on the court.
Some ballers may have access to a nutritionist or trainer that can break down a diet plan for them to follow.
Most ballers don't have access to a personal chef and will have to figure it out for themselves.
Don't skip breakfast: After all breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Start the day with a solid breakfast and it will make the rest of your day easier to stay on track.
Use a piece of fruits as a snack: We all get hungry between meals, but instead of grabbing that bag of chips start reaching for a piece of fruit. Find out which fruit you really enjoy and make it easy to grab and go as needed. This is a better option when it comes to snack time!
Drink water: Skipping out on the right amount of water is a big no-no. Your body is burning a high number of calories every day and you need to be staying as hydrated as possible. Don't fill your body up with sodas or other drinks such as Gatorade. If you get tired of water easily, consider trying green tea.
Have you last meal before 7pm: Make sure you're not eating too late into the night so that you're body has plenty of time to process those foods before bed. You don't want to go to bed with a full stomach.
Know what to avoid putting in your body: There's a lot of delicious food and drinks out there that can have a negative impact on your body. We've mentioned some of them already but there's three major ones that stand out. Sugary foods, fast food and candy!
When it comes to nutrition for basketball players, it's the little things that can make a positive impact on you both on and off the court.
They don't have to be big changes – if it works better for you start making the changes slowly until finally you're hitting all five.
The best thing to do is figure out what works for you because everyone is different, especially when it comes to changing their diet.
Many of the NBA's elite players have been known to opt in to a paleo style diet in order to get shredded.
Basically, the Paleo diet is a low-carb, sugar free, higher healthy fat diet. It simulates what our caveman ancestors ate back in the Paleo era.
This diet is particularly helpful in the off-season where body composition can be adjusted without the need to ensure optimal on court performance.
You see, diets such as Paleo tend to restrict carbohydrates which can sometimes lead to diminished performance in the initial stages of the diet until the body adapts.
One major benefit of this carb restriciton is enhanced fat loss.
It has also been well documented that the paleo diet can reduce inflammation.
Low inflammation foods can help reduce muscle and joint soreness allowing a basketball player to train harder for longer and recover quicker.
This is a major draw for older athletes such as Carmello Anthony and Lebron James who want to extend their careers for as long as possible.
Like I've said, different players follow different diet plans, but we're going to breakdown and give you a general idea of what is great for a basketball player to eat before and after a game to ensure they remain healthy and strong all-season long.
Preparing for your game starts as soon as you wake up. We talked about it before but breakfast is the most important part of your day.
Keep it simple – if you have plenty of time opt for oatmeal, omelet, and a glass of OJ, but if you're running short on time go with something quick but still smart like a bagel, fruit, and yogurt.
About 2-3 hours before tip-off is when your pregame meal should be eaten so it has enough time to start digesting. Most players are different when it comes to what they want to eat before a game – and how much they want to eat.
For a player like Kawhi Leonard he doesn't like playing on a full stomach so his pregame meal may be smaller than other players.
When you're trying to figure out what you want to eat be sure to include protein and carbohydrates.
These are two things you need to eat as they are vital to muscle performance.
Of course you can also take the popular yet controversial Ketogenic approach to diet if rapid fat loss is your main priority.
Pasta dishes with a side of grilled protein and veggies are a great pregame meal for most ballers.
The video below is not made specifically for ballers however it does give great insight into what a basketball player should eat before a game.
You may get hungry in between meals so it's good to have snack options available.
Even as you're eating a snack you want to stay focus on your diet plan and make sure the snack you're putting into your body is smart.
One major snack trend in the NBA is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Every team has their own ways to create this simple sandwich, but it's a staple in most locker rooms. It's a quick and easy snack to make if you're on the go.
And if you really want to eat like the pros then a PB&J is the way to go!
All of these snacks provide great options, but remember not to overeat when it comes to snack time.
You don't want your snacks to become your main meals so keep the portions light and don't overdo it otherwise you could mess up your body's routine.
After your game is over, you need to refuel your body again! So what should a basketball player eat after a game?
A great post game meal should include again a mix of carbs and protein which both help your body recover faster.
Re-hydrating is just as important as eating so water needs to be a part of anyone's postgame meal.
Ideally, you want to be eating within an hour after your game.
As you can see, ballers can keep a pretty simple diet with just focusing on simple foods and avoiding fast food option. They get their colorful plate by having those veggies along with some kind of grilled meat and carb or starch such as pasta or rice.
This is a very balanced plate and great fuel for their body.
As a baller you'll play a lot of minutes night in and night out so eating the right thing before and after the game is crucial to your preparation and recovery.
Whey protein is a handy supplement used by many pro basketball players to ensure that optimal protein requirements are met day in, day out.
Protein keeps you strong and helps you heal. It is a vital macronutrient for basketball players.
What Do Pro Basketball Players Eat?
We have already covered what Lebron james eat's to stay lean all year round.
Here are a couple of great videos that give a little more insight into the dietary habits of the King and other pro athletes.
To sum everything up, as a baller you need to be constantly refueling your body.
You're burning a lot of calories and energy on a daily basis and the only way to take care of your body is to be putting the right things back into it.
If you can learn this at a younger age then there's no telling how much extra time you can be putting on your basketball career.
If you think about it in those terms – eating right adds longevity to the game you love – then it should be easy to commit and sacrifice to eating right.
It doesn't mean you can't have a cheat meal whenever you want, but to be accountable and strive to eat the best way possible.
After you've been filling your body up with the right things you'll begin to notice the impact and see the results it has on your game, your body, and your energy level – and it will make it even easier then.

Home / News / Toyota Corolla launched in NZ: going from steady to stylish
Toyota Corolla launched in NZ: going from steady to stylish
By Tony Verdon • 15/09/2018
2018 Toyota Corolla hatch, ZR hybrid. Photos / Supplied
Toyota is setting out to transform the public's perception of its best-selling Corolla models — from steady and reliable to stylish and fun to drive.
The 12th generation of the Corolla hatchback is officially launched on October 1 and marks the biggest upgrade of the model that in many ways symbolises Toyota.
The Corolla has been New Zealand's biggest-selling individual model for the past decade, although it is under challenge now from utes.
Kiwis are not alone in buying the car in droves — Toyota says a new Corolla is sold somewhere in the world every 15 seconds.
Corollas went on sale in 1966 and since then about 220 million have been bought, making it the world's best-selling model.
The new Corolla is longer, lower and wider than its predecessors, and it sits on the Japanese giant's new Toyota New Global Architecture platform.
That has allowed the company to incorporate a range of new active and passive safety features, while delivering a car that handles much better than earlier Corollas.
The new models have a lower centre of gravity, trailing wishbone independent rear suspension and other features such as an active pre-crash safety system that incorporates autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, radar cruise control, and active cornering assist.
The new model range is priced from $29,990 for the baseline Corolla petrol 2-litre GX model, through to $38,490 for the top of the range Corolla ZR 1.8-litre petrol hybrid model. There are three Corolla models available now: the GX (petrol and hybrid), a mid-range SX petrol model, and petrol and hybrid ZR models.
The petrol models are powered by a new 2-litre four-cylinder engine with a direct-shift CV transmission, while a 1.8-litre petrol electric hybrid engine on the hybrid models is linked to an electronically controlled CV transmission.
The new models are not only better equipped and safer than their predecessors, they are also a more dynamic drive.
The steering has more feel and direction, and the cars handled the twists and turns of the road over the Saddle Track from Palmerston North to Woodville, then down through secondary roads through the Wairarapa to Martinborough, and back via the Pahiatua Track, during the press drive.
The GX and SX models were particularly impressive, especially from a value for money point of view. The higher-grade ZR models have more road noise from larger tyres, have more enveloping seats and higher-grade interiors.
However, the model most New Zealanders are likely to experience (as a rental car) is the baseline GX, and they will enjoy the drive.
The lower grille on the new models emphasises the increased width of the new cars, with LED headlights wrapping around into the front guards, while the design is more rounded at the rear.
Toyota New Zealand general manager of product and new vehicle sales, Neeraj Lala, told the press launch that it was the biggest upgrade in the Corolla's history.
"It's a more premium and stylish car that places a priority on the highest active and passive safety standards," he said.
The 2-litre direct injection petrol engine has the latest technology for gains in power, fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions. Toyota says it now has 21 per cent more power (125kW) and 15 per cent more torque (200Nm) but is more economical.
The CVT transmission is more efficient, and uses a new gear drive when starting from a full stop, eliminating the momentary hesitation that has annoyed drivers of CV transmissions.
The SX and ZR petrol variants add paddle shifters and all petrol variants can access a 10-speed sequential manual shift mode.
The hybrid models feature the latest self-charging petrol hybrid electric powertrain from the Prius. The 1.8-litre petrol engine has a combined system output of 90kW, with a claimed combined fuel consumption of 4.2 litres/100km.
The baseline GX model has an 8-inch touchscreen display, a 4.2-inch multi-info display, rear privacy glass, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a six-speaker audio system with satellite navigation.
The GX hybrid model gains a dual climate control system, with and keyless smart entry and push-button start.
The SX grade models also have a wireless phone charger, LED front fog lamps, paddle shifters, leather steering wheel and an additional USB port.
The ZR has a large colour head up display on the windscreen, 18-inch alloy wheels, leather and suede-accented sports front seats, a premium audio system, 7-inch colour multi-information display, ambient illumination, automatic dimming rear-view mirror and high-grade bi-LED headlamps.
All models have an active pre-crash safety system that includes autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection and cyclist detection, all speed dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert and lane centring and sway warning.
All have reversing cameras, along with drive start control, secondary collision brake and active cornering assist.
Blind spot monitoring is added to the mid-range SX and top line ZR variants.
● Driven and driven.co.nz will publish full road tests of the ZR petrol and hybrid models in coming weeks.

Pop star sensation Gwen Stefani's newest album, THE SWEET ESCAPE, features a single that began burning up the charts in late 2006. ""Wind It Up,"" and its companion video, is Stefani's homage to one of her favorite songs from one of her favorite movies -- ""The Lonely Goatherd"" from THE SOUND OF MUSIC. That R&H classic, covered by Stefani herself, is featured as a leitmotif in her single, and the beloved musical provides a major theme in the video. ""The movie really affected me,"" she told Billboard. ""It has just been a recurring theme of inspiration."" ""Wind It Up"" hit the Billboard Top 100 Chart at No. 25 in late November, and immediately shot up into the top 10. The video, meanwhile, pays tribute to the film with evocations of Maria and the children during the thunderstorm sequence, the transformation of drapes into playclothes, and more. ""It's bizarre how that movie has followed my life,"" Stefani told Entertainment Weekly. ""The first time I ever went on stage, at a high school talent show, the dress that I wore was the dress that Maria wears when she sings I Have Confidence.' The drop-waist tweed dress. I had that dress. I made it."" ""We're delighted with Gwen Stefani's tribute to The Lonely Goatherd,' says Williamson Music President Maxyne Lang. ""Two years ago, Gwen did Rich Girl,' her unique and wonderful version of If I Were a Rich Man' (by Jerry Bock and R&H Music's Sheldon Harnick), and we are delighted to be affiliated with this dynamic artist again."" From Bock & Harnick to Rodgers & Hammerstein, Gwen Stefani clearly appreciates the Great American Songbook. Or, as EW put it: ""These are a few of Gwen Stefani's favorite things: THE SOUND OF MUSIC, THE SOUND OF MUSIC and, oh yes, THE SOUND OF MUSIC.""
