SPORTS – BASKETBALL: “Twenty-eight Reasons Why We Love Steph Curry in Honor of His 28th Birthday” / The Huffington Post ☮
We’ve all listened to the play-by-play. We’ve all been stunned by the things that the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry does on and off the court, night in and night out. The NBA’s reigning MVP is a legend in the making, and it’s simply a pleasure to watch this guy pick up his dribble, cock his right arm back and let his jumper fly game after game.
He also happens to be just dawning on the prime of his career. When the clock struck midnight on Monday, Curry turned 28. So to celebrate the best shooter on the planet’s special day, here are two things that we all should do: (1) Count our lucky stars that we’re alive at the same time as this mind-boggling, human highlight reel of a superstar, and (2) follow along as we relay just 28 of the reasons why everyone loves Chef Curry.

SOCIAL ACTIVISM: Harvey Milk Day Recognizes Fallen San Francisco Hero (PHOTOS)
LGBT activists all over the country will celebrate the third annual Harvey Milk Day on May 22, a holiday honoring the pioneering San Francisco supervisor who served as the first openly gay elected official in the United States.
A bill authored by California State Asseblyman Mark Leno and signed into law by former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger created Harvey Milk Day in 2009.
While California is the only state to officially honor the legislator, whose tragic assassination at the hands of fellow Supervisor Dan White was depicted in the Academy Award-winning 2008 film “Milk,” people all over the country also participate. In 2010, groups in 28 other cities followed the Golden State’s lead and held events honoring the legislator.
