See where Pat Healy, Paul Kelly and Nate Diaz fell on Cagewriter?s Hot or Not list

It's been a crazy, crazy week in MMA. Let's get right to finding out what's hot and what's not.

Not -- Pat Healy: After a memorable, double-bonus winning fight at UFC 159, Healy tested positive for marijuana. He lost his bonuses, worth $130,000. It was a very costly lesson.

Hot -- Bryan Caraway: He was the only other fighter at UFC 159 by submission, so he picked up Healy's vacated bonus.

Not -- Nate Diaz: In a Twitter conversation today, someone from GLAAD spelled out exactly why Diaz's tweet that got him suspended was so hurtful.

"When you use an anti-gay slur, even not to describe a gay person, what you tell all gay people is, 'My subconscious wanted to find the worst insult it could, and what it came up with ... was you.'"

In using the f-word to describe Caraway, Diaz not only used the language of hate, but also put his own standing with the UFC in jeopardy.

Hot -- Tarec Saffiedine's son: If you missed it, watch Tarec Saffiedine's son throw some combinations on a laundry hamper. If you watched it, watch it again. It's still adorable.

Not -- Paul Kelly: Since losing to Donald Cerrone at UFC 126 and getting cut by the UFC, British fighter Paul Kelly's life has taken a surprising turn. He was convicted for trafficking heroin in the United Kingdom. He is reportedly facing a long prison term.

Still taking temperature -- Luke Rockhold and Vitor Belfort: The two will face off on Saturday night in Brazil on FX. Considering the bad blood between the fighters, this should be a fun one.

I?m as guilty of that as anyone else. It?s a?great?way to drastically trim your finances.

Let?s be honest, though: a lot of people simply aren?t going to give up their car. They have too much emotionally tied into the freedom of having an automobile to take them wherever and whenever they want.

So, with that in mind, here are fourteen pieces of advice that will each help you save on the fuel costs of your commute. Every single one of these tactics will improve either the efficiency of fuel consumption on your commute or will reduce the number of miles you put on your car.?

Warriors beat Spurs 97-87 in OT, even series 2-2

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) ? Harrison Barnes had 26 points and 10 rebounds, Stephen Curry scored 22 on an injured left ankle and the Golden State Warriors rallied past the San Antonio Spurs 97-87 in overtime Sunday to even the Western Conference semifinal at two games apiece.

Jarrett Jack added 24 points in reserve and Andrew Bogut grabbed 18 rebounds to help the Warriors overcome an eight-point deficit in the final five minutes of regulation. Golden State scored the first nine points of overtime to whip the yellow-shirt wearing crowd of 19,596 into a frenzy and give this topsy-turvy series another twist.

Manu Ginobili had 21 points and Tim Duncan added 19 points and 15 rebounds for the Spurs, who were outshot 35.5 to 38 percent in what was an ugly offensive game most of the afternoon. The Warriors outrebounded San Antonio 65 to 51.

Game 5 is Tuesday in San Antonio.

The Spurs seized control of a sloppy, slugfest at the start and went cold shooting when it mattered most. Tony Parker, wearing a black sleeve around his bruised left calf, poured in 17 points on 6-of-17 shooting but never broke free the way he did by scoring 32 points the previous contest.

Ginobili hit a mid-range jumper and a 3-pointer, and Kawhi Leonard put back a rebound for an easy layup to out the Spurs ahead 80-72 with 4:49 remaining in the fourth quarter. The home sellout crowd sat down and fell silent for one of the few times in the fourth quarter all postseason with the series slipping away.

Jack hit a pair of difficult pull-up jumpers before Klay Thompson's fadeaway beat the shot clock, and Jack followed with another shot to tie the game in the final minute.

Parker provided another big shot on the other end. He used a screen from Duncan to break free of the dribble, sinking a 15-footer from the wing to put the Spurs ahead 84-82 with 39.2 seconds left.

The Warriors called timeout, and had Thompson inbound. He got the ball back and dribbled to his left, banking a running shot over Leonard to even the score again.

Ginobili, whose 3-pointer capped San Antonio's double-overtime comeback in Game 1, shook Barnes to the floor but missed an open 3-pointer near his own bench. Jack corralled the ball in a scrum under the basket and called timeout, then Parker pressured him into a contested shot just inside the top of the arc to send the game to overtime.

The Warriors turned the extra session into a runaway.

Jack made a jumper, Barnes hit a pair of free throws and then hit another mid-range jumper. Curry capped the spurt with a layup, drawing a foul on Duncan to start a three-point play that gave Golden State a 93-84 lead.

San Antonio missed its first nine shots ? and two free throws by Danny Green ? to start overtime until Green's corner 3 with 1:29 remaining. By then, it was too late.

The upstart Warriors are once again on the brink of something big.

The Warriors hadn't won two games beyond the first round since 1977, when they pulled even with the Lakers in the conference semifinals through four games before losing in seven.

This time, all the odds seemed against them again. The tight turnaround from Friday night's game to the early afternoon start Sunday surely didn't help Curry's cause to recover.

Curry clearly favored his left ankle and never showed any burst off the dribble, often getting face-guarded by Spurs defenders and taken out of the offense. Despite not going through his usual pregame shooting routine, he still hit a pair of 3-pointers at the start of the game to give Golden State fans hope.

Bogut picked up three fouls in the first six minutes, plus a technical foul for arguing with an official after giving up a three-point play to Duncan. Bogut sat out the rest of the first half, and backup Festus Ezeli also had four fouls before the break.

With Curry and Thompson quieted on the perimeter early, the Warriors missed 13 straight shots and went scoreless for 7:10. The Spurs scored 14 unanswered points during that spurt, Ginobili made his first four 3s and the Spurs later took a 41-30 lead midway through the second quarter on Green's put-back dunk.

Curry created just enough space to make two 3-pointers during a 15-6 run by the Warriors at the start of the third quarter. Carl Landry had a three-point play and Barnes added another shot from beyond the arc to give Golden State a 55-51 lead and finally awaken the home sellout crowd.

Parker pounced back with a three-point play, rattling in a layup while getting knocked to the floor by Thompson. He also hit a pull-up jumper in the closing seconds to send San Antonio into the fourth quarter up 62-60.

The Warriors had been 0-3 when trailing after three quarters this postseason.

NOTES: The Warriors had never hosted an overtime playoff game in the Bay Area. ... It was the most point Ginobili had scored since he had 21 against New Orleans on Jan. 7. ... Game 6 is Thursday in Oakland and Game 7, if necessary, would be in San Antonio on Sunday. ... Warriors coach Mark Jackson's wife, Desiree Coleman Jackson, sang the national anthem

US Cellular embraces iPhone after rejecting it

NEW YORK (AP) ? U.S. Cellular, the fifth largest cellphone company and the only major one to resist the iPhone, says it's going to start selling it this year.

CEO Mary Dillon announced the reversal Friday on a call with investors and analysts. She didn't specify exactly when the company would start selling Apple's phone, or what models it would carry.

A year and a half ago, Dillon said U.S. Cellular Corp. had the opportunity to carry the phone but rejected it because it was too expensive. The iPhone is more expensive than most smartphones, and phone companies absorb this cost to sell it for $199 or less.

Dillon says many of customers leaving the Chicago-based company are doing so because it doesn't carry the iPhone.

Telephone & Data Systems Inc. owns U.S. Cellular.

An anarchic region of star formation

May 2, 2013 ? The Danish 1.54-metre telescope located at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile has captured a striking image of NGC 6559, an object that showcases the anarchy that reigns when stars form inside an interstellar cloud.

NGC 6559 is a cloud of gas and dust located at a distance of about 5000 light-years from Earth, in the constellation of Sagittarius (The Archer). The glowing region is a relatively small object, just a few light-years across, in contrast to the one hundred light-years and more spanned by its famous neighbour, the Lagoon Nebula (Messier 8, eso0936). Although it is usually overlooked in favour of its distinguished companion, NGC 6559 has the leading role in this new picture.

The gas in the clouds of NGC 6559, mainly hydrogen, is the raw material for star formation. When a region inside this nebula gathers enough matter, it starts to collapse under its own gravity. The centre of the cloud grows ever denser and hotter, until thermonuclear fusion begins and a star is born. The hydrogen atoms combine to form helium atoms, releasing energy that makes the star shine.

These brilliant hot young stars born out of the cloud energise the hydrogen gas still present around them in the nebula [1]. The gas then re-emits this energy, producing the glowing threadlike red cloud seen near the centre of the image. This object is known as an emission nebula.

But NGC 6559 is not just made out of hydrogen gas. It also contains solid particles of dust, made of heavier elements, such as carbon, iron or silicon. The bluish patch next to the red emission nebula shows the light from the recently formed stars being scattered -- reflected in many different directions -- by the microscopic particles in the nebula. Known to astronomers as a reflection nebula, this type of object usually appears blue because the scattering is more efficient for these shorter wavelengths of light [2].

In regions where it is very dense, the dust completely blocks the light behind it, as is the case for the dark isolated patches and sinuous lanes to the bottom left-hand side and right-hand side of the image. To look through the clouds at what lies behind, astronomers would need to observe the nebula using longer wavelengths that would not be absorbed.

The Milky Way fills the background of the image with countless yellowish older stars. Some of them appear fainter and redder because of the dust in NGC 6559.

This eye-catching image of star formation was captured by the Danish Faint Object Spectrograph and Camera (DFOSC) on the 1.54-metre Danish Telescope at La Silla in Chile. This national telescope has been in use at La Silla since 1979 and was recently refurbished to turn it into a remote-controlled state-of-the-art telescope.

Notes

[1] These young stars are usually of spectral type O and B, with temperatures between 10,000 and 60,000 K, which radiate huge amounts of high energy ultraviolet light that ionises the hydrogen atoms.

[2] Rayleigh scattering, named after the British physicist Lord Rayleigh, happens when light is scattered off particles of material that are much smaller than the wavelength of the light. It is much more effective for short wavelengths of light, that is, wavelengths corresponding to the blue end of the visible spectrum, so the result is a bluish diffuse light. This is the same mechanism that explains the blue colour of the daytime cloud-free sky.
