Dear Johnni

Since so many people are asking the same question, we published this on our Facebook page a few months ago (or last year, I don't remember...):

I can return to Canada any time I like, and as far as I know no police agencies are looking for me. Canada is truly a beautiful country and there are many good people within its boundaries. Due to the criminal record that the Canadian government gave me, I can not enter the U.S. So, I do not live in U.S., as many people seem to believe. The reason I chose to return to Europe back in November 2013 is simple. At present we have many governments in the Balkans backed into a corner over this issue and I think that in a very short time from now, they will have to completely legalize the medicinal use of this oil. And for some other personal reasons I decided to stay here.

LA Sparks Go 0-3 On Road Trip...All-Stars Back!

The Los Angeles Sparks ended a tough three game road trip in New York on Sunday against the New York Liberty losing 79-70 in another hard fought battle with only eight players available to run on the hardwood. With All-Star, Nneka Ogwumike back from injury, starting her second straight game another veteran All-Star teammate, Kristi Toliver made her debut this season for the Sparks leading her team in scoring with a career high 30 points on 9-15 from the field. Oliver was 3-5 from the long range three ball and a perfect 9-9 from the charity stripe. Jantel Lavender, the most consistent Sparks player this season had another strong game with 14 points and 6 rebounds.

It was a very competitive game for thirty five minutes of the forty minute game as the Liberty took control in the last 5:07 minutes of the game. The game was tied at 63 a piece with 5:07 in the fourth quarter, but the Sparks had another melt down as the Liberty out scored the Sparks 16-7! As one Sparks commentator said, "The Sparks ran out of gas; their out of town and out of luck!"

Guard, Sugar Rodgers was special for the Liberty with a team high 23 points. Sugar got help from teammates, Tina Charles and Tanisha Wright respectively with 14 and 12 points.

The win kept the New York Liberty above .500 with a 5-4 record, while the LA Sparks head home 0-7 to get acquainted with each other and regroup to get ready for the San Antonio Stars who come to town on Thursday, July 2 to play the Sparks. It is a 7:30 p.m. tip off from Staples Center.

By CTS LIVE Intern

This past Friday, June 26, 2105, J. Cole concluded his Dollar and a Dream III Tour in Los Angeles, CA.
The secret venue was released approximately at 10:35 a.m. on June 26 by Cole himself via Twitter. Thousands of hopefuls formed a line around the block of Wilshire and Western at the classic venue, The Wiltern Theatre. Anxious fans arrived as early as 2 a.m. on the suspicion of a rumor that was leaked about the venue location.
There was a report of 8,000 fans gathered in line to be selected to receive wristbands for the 1,850 seat capacity Wiltern Theater.
Cole performed songs mainly from his timeless mixtape, Friday Night Lights. A couple surprise guests helped Cole grace the stage, Wale showed up to spit her verse to “You Got It,”!
If that wasn't enough fans were treated to a special surprise when Kendrick Lamar was welcomed on stage to a huge ovation. Kendrick performed a couple of his own singles including “Cartoons & Cereal” and “Alright” off his latest album To Pimp A Butterfly.
In the midst of performing, Cole takes a couple breaks in between songs to break down the storylines behind the music which fans were quite engaged to hear. He also described why he picks smaller venues to host his annual Dollar and a Dream Tour. Cole confessed he likes the intimate relationship he feels with his audience, along with the personal satisfaction it gives him being able to break down the logic behind the music.
Superstar female artist, Rihanna was in attendance to support her fellow label mate perform.
Fans walked out of the theatre with priceless smiles that you could only find on the front of a Wheaties box! It’s safe to say that fans enjoyed themselves and the concert was well worth the wait...
