SIERRA MADRE, CA - MAY 29: Seventieth anniversary cans of Spam, the often-maligned classic canned lunch meat made by Hormel Foods, are seen on a grocery store shelf May 29, 2008 in Sierra Madre, California. With the rise in food prices, sales of Spam are increasing as consumers look for ways to cut their food bills. According to the US Agriculture Department, the price of food is rising at the fastest rate since 1990. Increasingly expensive staples include such items as white bread, up 13 percent over last year, butter, up nine percent, and bacon at seven percent. The increasing sales have translated to 14 percent higher profits for Hormel. Spam was created in 1937 and was popularized as a staple food for World War II Western allied forces.

More quotes from WNBA: Hot Sparks boast two ambassadors
Right now, it's about getting respect for women's basketball, and to continue to take steps forward and make it so that my daughter has the same opportunities that my son has in the future
said Candace Parker
It brings back memories, but I think that it's sort of like the changing of the guard ... I think that Candace is talented enough, smart enough and pretty enough to carry that torch and that weight. For me, it's just really a blessing that I'm still young enough to be able to play with her, yet old enough to be the mom of the team — literally and figuratively.
