Who was Amanda Crowe? Google honors legendary Cherokee artist

Image
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, Google’s doodle team put together a video showcasing the legacy of Eastern Band  Cherokee Indian artist Amanda Crowe, beloved for her smooth, intricate animal woodcarvings. According to the Cherokee Encyclopedia, Crowe was born in 1928 in North Carolina’s Qualla Cherokee community and began learning to “draw and to carve” before she turned five years old. “I was barely big enough to handle a knife, but I knew what I wanted to do—I guess it was part of my heritage,” Crowe once said, according to the encyclopedia. By the time she turned eight, she was selling her woodwork. Both of Crowe’s parents died when she was young, and she was raised by a foster mother for much of her childhood. She’d study woodcarving with her uncle and eventually earned a scholarship to study at the Art Institute of Chicago. At the institute, Crowe experimented with more materials, but always came back to wood. “The grain challenges me to create objects...

Jamal Murray fears nothing and no one

At 21-years old, the pressure to decide what type of life you hope to lead hits you like a truck. You have all the time in the world, you’re told. Your entire life is still ahead of you. But it doesn’t quite feel that way. You’re still learning who you are, what makes you tick, and what you’re capable of—yet someone seems to have hit start on the proverbial clock.

The Boston Celtics came to play that night, too. They punished the Denver Nuggets with ruthless execution on the offensive end, and a relentless, tenacious effort on the other in the first quarter. It was enough to open up an 18 point lead, and the game seemed all but lost as virtually nothing was going Denver’s way. Nothing except for Murray finally finding his stroke. Murray entered this season tabbed by many as an earl...

Urban Meyer retirement at Ohio State surprises world of college football

Image
When Mack Brown took a phone call Tuesday morning from Urban Meyer, he was surprised by the topic. Brown recently was hired at North Carolina, five years after retiring at Texas. He figured Meyer might be calling to offer congratulations. Instead, Meyer told him he was retiring for health reasons. And referring to Brown’s decision to return, he asked: “Are you crazy or what?” The news of Meyer’s exit sent a ripple through the lobby of the New York Hilton Midtown, the unofficial gathering place this week of many of college football’s coaches, athletic directors, conference officials and others for the National Football Foundation’s annual awards dinner. Brown, 67, who is being inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, seems energized after spending five years away from the grind – instead filling his time as an ESPN analyst. He said Meyer told him health issues were “the total reason he was stepping away.” The Buckeyes’ season was tumultuous, beginning last summer wh...
