WHY CLUBS ARE USING FOOTBALL MANAGER AS A REAL-LIFE SCOUTING TOOL
Sports data company Prozone is using stats from the computer game Football Manager to help real clubs recruit players
“In an era of pervasive digital technology, where social media applications, games and news sources are beginning to merge imperceptibly, it’s perhaps only natural that the machinery of football digitises too. The next step is probably a speed-scouting phone app for harassed managers on transfer deadline day.”

ARTIST RUINS HAPPILY EVER AFTER WITH MISBEHAVING DISNEY CHARACTERS
“Artist José Rodolfo Loaiza Ontiveros’ recent installation, titled “Profanity Pop,” depicts beloved Disney characters in situations that are most definitely not G-rated.

DIAMOND OF THE WEEK
BUCKET OF ICE WATER ON A HEAD
“Some of the most powerful people in the tech world are dumping buckets of ice water on their heads. No, they haven’t lost it. They’re doing it for charity.
The stunt is a part of a campaign to raise money to fight amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as the motor neurons disease. Those who take the ice bucket challenge get to challenge three other people to do the same within 24 hours or donate to the ALS foundation (hopefully, they’ll do both!)
Zuck, who was challenged by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, called out Bill Gates, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings to take the challenge. You canwatch him throw water over himself here.”
And the thing went viral with Jimmy Fallon, The Roots, Rob Riggle, Horatio Sanz and Steve Higgins accepted Justin Timberlake’s challenge on Tuesday night, while destroying a few wireless microphones in the process.
