Kendrick Lamar blash rap peers

Big Sean's seven-minute Control track didn't make his upcoming Hall of Fame album because of sample-clearance issues, but that's not why its release on the Internet ignited a brushfire of controversy.

The track, produced by NO I.D., features verses by Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica. It's Lamar's chest-thumping spiel that has fans and peers reacting with shock, outrage and, mostly, cheers.

Lamar, who hails from Compton, anoints himself the most royal of rappers: "I'm Machiavelli's offspring, I'm the king of New York, king of the coast, one hand, I juggle them both."

Then he rips into scores of rappers by name, including Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale, Push T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake, Tyler, Mac Miller and even his partners on the track, Big Sean and Jay Electronica.

Pamela Wallin's troubling expense

The independent audit of Senator Pamela Wallin's expenses has been referred to the RCMP by a Senate committee that is also imposing restrictions on her travel and asking her to repay more of her expenses.

The internal economy committee met Tuesday morning on Parliament Hill and agreed to a set of recommendations in response to the Deloitte audit it received Monday. The audit assessed more than $500,000 worth of Wallin's travel claims and determined whether they were all related to Senate business or not.

The RCMP referral and other recommendations are contained in the committee's report that says Wallin had an "unusual pattern" of stopping in Toronto, where she owns a condo, on her way from Ottawa to Saskatchewan, the province she was appointed to represent in 2009. See more..

Payday 2 Review

The plan was to play it by the books: mask up, get in, get out. Grab sixbags of cash, more if we’re feeling confident. We’d go in through the back, it’s easy to lock pick that door. I’d take point, ’cause I can talk patrolling guards down; no shooting required… but we’ll put silencers on our pistols anyway, just in case. Ideally, though, nobody will see us go in.

That was we hoped would happen, anyway. Who could have guessed we’d end up here, holed up in a bank, low on ammo, SWAT team breaking in through the windows — all while we do our best to get the drill working on the safe again? And all because we ran into an ‘effin by stander on the way to the money. You know how it is nowadays, people are glued to their mobile phones. The jerk called the cops almost instantly after he saw us. Thankfully, the getaway van is supposed to be on its way, we just have to hang tight and survive the onslaught of coppers. That payday better be worth it…

Things hardly ever go to plan in Payday2, the co-op first person shooter that’s (mostly) about robberies. In the 10 hours that I’ve played it, and despite criminal planning, I’ve yet to pull a perfect heist or mission. I suspect that most players will have a similar experience; the game is definitely not easy.

Jamaal Charles leaves

Pro Bowl running back JamaalCharles left midway through the Kansas City Chiefs' practice Monday with what coach Andy Reid called a strained foot. X-rays were negative.

Though a source familiar with the injury told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that Charles is "fine," another source told ESPN's Ed Werder that Charles will be re-evaluated Tuesday morning to determine when he'll be able to return to practice.

Charles attended Tuesday's practice but joined the rest of the injured Chiefs away from the practice field. He wasn't wearing a boot and didn't appear to be limping.

Charles was participating in an 11-on-11 portion of practice pitting the No. 1 offense against the top defense Monday when he walked off the field and spent a moment speaking with trainers. He climbed into a cart and was driven up a long hillside to the locker room.

"We'll just see how he does. Precautionary measures," Reid said. "We'll see how he does here in the next little bit -- see where he's at as far as pain or swelling. We'll see how he does."

Reid wouldn't say for sure whether Charles will play Friday night against San Francisco.See more..

Elon Musk unveils San Francisco-LA

US-based entrepreneur Elon Musk has unveiled his proposed near-supersonic "Hyperloop" transport concept to link Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The SpaceX, Tesla and Paypal founder envisions using magnets and fans to shoot capsules floating on a cushion of air through a long tube.

If the Hyperloop is ever built, a trip on it between the two California cities would last about 30 minutes, he said.

But Mr Musk says he is currently too busy to develop the project himself.

In a paper outlining the Hyperloop proposal, Mr Musk suggested the solar-powered system would be a faster, safer, less costly, and more efficient mode of transport between Los Angeles and San Francisco than the high-speed train currently under development.

Whitey Bulger Update

The "day of reckoning" for mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger was a "long time in coming," a U.S. attorney said outside a Boston courthouse Monday.

Bulger, who prosecutors said led one of Boston's most notorious crime gangs, was found guilty Monday in a string of 11 killings in the 1970s and 1980s following a racketeering trial that spanned more than seven weeks. He was also found guilty of extortion, money laundering, narcotics distribution conspiracy, and illegal firearms charges.

He had been charged in 19 killings in a broad racketeering indictment. The jury deliberations spanned 32 and a half hours before the verdict was read in court Monday.

"Today is a day many in this city thought would never come," said U.S.Attorney Carmen Ortiz. "James J. 'Whitey' Bulger now stands convicted for his role in the murderous Winter Hill Gang."

Ortiz said she hoped Bulger's conviction would mark "the end of an era that was very ugly in Boston's history."

Bulger fled Boston in 1994 after being tipped off by a retired FBI agent about his indictment and was one of the FBI's most-wanted fugitives until he was captured with his longtime girlfriend in Santa Monica, Calif., in 2011.
