MARC KOVAC: Will latest pet abuse bill make it through the Ohio Senate?
Record-courier capital bureau
COLUMBUS -- There was a deja vu moment in the Ohio House a couple of weeks ago, as lawmakers, on a lopsided vote, passed legislation to increase criminal penalties against people who abuse or neglect pet dogs and cats.
For half an hour or so, lawmakers stood up and mostly sang praises to House Bill 274 and the Cleveland area television weatherman who the law changes are named after, honoring his efforts to stop animal abuse.
Under the legislation, individuals who "knowingly cause serious physical harm" to companion animals would face felony charges, according to an analysis by the state's legislative service commission.
Under current law, such abuse is considered a misdemeanor on a first offense and a felony on subsequent violations.
The bill also tightens prohibitions in state law for kennel owners who abuse or neglect animals in their care. Resulting fines would be directed to county humane societies or law enforcement who investigate cases of neglect and abuse, to be used for training expenses.
It should, because the state lawmakers have been debating comparable legislation for years.
Just ask Rep. Ron Gerberry (D-Austintown), who carried Nitro's Law for several general assemblies with hopes of ensuring kennel owners who abuse pets would face stiffer penalties.
The legislation was named for a canine that was among more than a dozen dogs found dead or dying from extreme neglect in 2008 at the High Caliber K-9 kennel on Coitsville-Hubbard Road in Youngstown. The owner of the business faced a few misdemeanor convictions and subsequently filed for bankruptcy, avoiding additional civil penalties.
That bill had bipartisan support, passed the Ohio House on multiple occasions and even was recommended for passage on a unanimous vote of a Senate committee, all before being left to die at the end of each session due to opposition in the latter chamber.
Earlier this year, Republicans in the Senate agreed to insert language into the budget that they said would implement the intent of Nitro's Law, ensuring kennel owners and employees who abuse or starve animals could face heightened charges.
Flash forward to the passage of HB 274 in the House earlier this month and you'll hear a lot of the same arguments Gerberry and Nitro's Law advocates have been making for years.
While representatives voiced optimism that the new bill would move through the Senate, Gerberry offered a few words of caution.
"It's the second time during this legislative session that this chamber has really, I think, stood up, and we'll stand up again today, pretty much unanimously, and say abusing animals is wrong," Gerberry said during the floor debate on the bill. "It's something that should be a fifth-degree felony."
He added, "There are people that don't agree with this chamber that are across the Rotunda. And we are going to have to do a very, very strong and fervent job of getting these folks to hear it, put it before the committee, let it have a vote and get it to the Senate floor and have a vote there...."

Remember When Naomi Judd Announced Her Retirement?
Jason Davis, Getty Images
Naomi Judd stunned the music world when she abruptly announced her retirement in 1990 — but as it turned out, she didn't really go anywhere.
Judd was 44 and on top of the country music world as one-half of the mother-daughter duo the Judds when she dropped the news completely by surprise on Oct. 17, 1990. Judd revealed that she had been diagnosed with Hepatitis C, forcing her to retire from the Judds and her music career to deal with the potentially fatal side effects of the disease, which affects the liver. She also announced that her daughter, Wynonna, would continue into a solo career without her.
"I have always told Wy and our fans the only thing that could stop me from this career that I so desperately love is my health," Judd said (quote via the Los Angeles Times). "Unfortunately, that has happened."
The Judds were in the midst of their Love Can Build a Bridge Tour at the time of Judd's announcement, and they said what they thought would be their final goodbye to their fans on their Farewell Tour in 1991. But that did not turn out to be the last fans heard from either Naomi Judd or the duo — not by a longshot.
Naomi Judd became a spokesperson for the American Liver Foundation following her retirement, and she founded the Naomi Judd Education and Research Fund, which provided education and support about Hepatitis C. She starred in a TV movie titled A Holiday Romance in 1999, and returned to the stage for a Judds New Year's Eve concert in Phoenix, Ariz, that year.
The Judds reunited for the Power to Change Tour in 2000, and again in 2010 for what they said would be their final tour, the Last Encore Tour. Naomi Judd has continued a busy schedule as a speaker, author, reality TV personality and more, and she attributes her revitalized health to a "mind, body and spirit approach" that combined conventional medicine with acupuncture, meditation and other alternative medicine, according to an interview with Lifescript. She says she's been in remission since 1999, and uses the word "cured" to describe herself today.

Kree Invasion Dice Masters Team Pack Explored — GamingWithSwag.com - Dads By Day, Gamers By Night.
Wizkids is dropping some sweet Dicemasters team packs to coincide with the Avengers Infinity Campaign box release and the Kree Invasion pack (the other features the Thunderbolts) has the most Infinity War overlap with the majority of the other Guardians of the Galaxy and the big man himself, Thanos. The main campaign box is a little light on villains but buying this set can fix that problem up pretty well. This set will likely tie in nicely to a future Captain Marvel set since we know her upcoming movie is likely to involve the Kree. Like past releases you only get two dice for each character so if you want to utilize four dice for anyone you need to purchase the pack twice and with some cards built on the "Swarm" ability you will certainly want to double up if you are making competition decks. Below I will give some initial thoughts on the cards in the set and you can decide if you can't live without these in your life.
I accidentally cut the defense off Groot which is 2,6, and 7.
Drax is a bit strong for a 3 cost, but has a fielding cost that can slow down your early ramp economy which is why the abilities that make it possible to field him for free handy. And late in the game he won't be a disappointing cheap character to draw when you are hunting for more powerful dice. Groot has a great global for a team based build to cycle your favorite dice, and if you play a hodge podge of cards you can always love having Regenerate. However, I hate that level 1 Groot and might bring him to a game for his global more than his dice.
The Swarm ability worked really well in the Dungeons and Dragons sets, and having more in the Marvel world is nice and really helps boost villain decks. I wish the Fist energy synergy was more useful in this team pack as the big villains are both Mask based.
Mantis isn't amazing unless you go all out on Guardians, although I think the "This One Knows" card could be great on occasion. Rocket is the hammer in a Guardians deck and with the low defense you will want 4 of him to throw at your opponent.
Thanos is a beast and has my beloved Overcrush on two of his cards. He might be my favorite new card in the new Marvel sets. Supreme Intelligence works great with swarming mechanics and those Kree goons assuming you also grab a Fist villain to add to your team.
This pack is great, and even if you don't buy the Campaign Box I think this could be a decent option, but if you read this far you already know you are buying this and building a Guardians team and trying to find ways to unleash Thanos on your friends.

2014-15 Federal Budget Summary
Date: May 14th, 2014
1. Superannuation
1.1 Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rate – Change to increase schedule
Proposed effective date 1 July 2014
The Government will change the schedule for increasing the SG rate. SG contributions are the compulsory super contributions made by employers into the super accounts of eligible employees. The current SG rate is 9.25%.
The SG rate will increase from 9.25% to 9.5% from 1 July 2014 as currently legislated. The rate will remain at 9.5% until 30 June 2018 and then increase by 0.5% each year until it reaches 12% in 2022-23 as per the following table:
1.2 Superannuation preservation age
Unless you meet an earlier condition of release, your preservation age is the minimum age you can draw on your super. The preservation age is currently 55, rising to 60 depending on when you were born.
While no change to the preservation age for super benefits was announced in the Budget, the Government has indicated that this will be considered by future Government enquiries.
1.3 Excess non-concessional contributions (NCCs)
NCCs are generally the after-tax contributions you make to your super. There is a limit (or cap) on the amount of NCCs you can make to your super each year.
Currently, superannuation contributions that exceed the NCC cap are taxed at 46.5%.
The Government proposes to change this treatment for any excess NCCs made from 1 July 2013. You will be allowed to withdraw those excess contributions and associated earnings.
If you choose this option, no excess contributions tax will be payable and the associated earnings will be taxed at your marginal tax rate.
Final details of the proposal, including the calculation of associated earnings, will be determined following consultation with the superannuation industry.
2. Taxation
2.1 Personal marginal tax rates in 2014-15
2.2 Temporary budget repair levy ('deficit levy')
Previously announced in the media as the 'deficit levy', an additional 2% levy is proposed to apply to high income earners. The levy will be applied to taxable income in excess of $180,000 pa from 1 July 2014 for a period of three years expiring at 30 June 2017. This will effectively raise the top marginal tax rate from 45% to 47%.
What does it mean for you?
With the legislated rise in the Medicare levy (see below) and this proposed deficit levy, you might consider deferring tax deductible expenses to next tax year or bringing forward income to the current tax year where possible.
With liability to both the Medicare levy and this proposed new deficit levy based on your taxable income, any tax deductions (eg investment loan interest) will reduce your potential liability to these levies. So, for example, while contribution caps apply, salary sacrifice to super (or making personal tax deductible contributions where eligible) will reduce your liability to these levies.
As everyone's circumstances are different, you should speak to your financial adviser to help you decide whether these strategies are suitable for you.
2.3 Temporary increase in fringe benefits tax (FBT) rate
Proposed effective date 1 April 2015
The FBT rate has already risen to 47% as a consequence of the increase in the Medicare levy and an additional rise to a total of 49% is now proposed. This proposal aims to broadly prevent anyone liable for the proposed deficit levy from swapping taxable income (taxed at 49%) for fringe benefits taxed at the lower rate of 47%. The increase in the FBT rate to 49% will occur from 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2017 (aligning with the FBT years).
2.4 Medicare levy rises
Effective date 1 July 2014
Medicare levy will rise to 2% on 1 July 2014 (currently 1.5%). This was announced and legislated by the previous government, to assist with funding the Disability Care Australia Fund (previously known as the National Disability Insurance Scheme).
2.5 Abolition of certain tax offsets
The Government proposes to abolish the following tax offsets from 1 July 2014:
Dependent Spouse Tax Offset. Currently this tax offset applies to dependent spouses born before 1 July 1952.
Mature Age Worker Tax Offset. Currently this tax offset is limited to taxpayers born before 1 July 1957. This tax offset is $500 and is assessed on 'net income from working'.
2.6 First Home Saver Accounts (FHSAs) scheme is ending
The Government proposes to abolish the FHSA scheme.
New accounts opened from Budget night will not be eligible for concessions.
For existing accounts, the Government co-contribution will cease from 1 July 2014.
Tax concessions and the income and asset test exemptions for government benefits associated with these accounts will cease from 1 July 2015.
From 1 July 2015, account holders will be able to withdraw their account balances without restriction.
3. Social Security
3.1 Age Pension – Increasing eligibility age
From 1 July 2025, the Age Pension qualifying age will continue to rise by six months every two years, from the qualifying age of 67 years that will apply by that time, to gradually reach a qualifying age of 70 years by 1 July 2035.
People born before 1 July 1958 will not be affected by this measure.
3.2 Resetting the deeming rate thresholds on financial investments
Proposed effective date 20 September 2017
Currently, the deeming thresholds are $46,600 for singles, $77,400 for pensioner couples and $38,700 for members of allowee couples.
From 20 September 2017, the deeming thresholds for means tested payments will be reset to $30,000 for singles and $50,000 for couples (for both pensioners and allowees).
The lower deeming thresholds will result in a higher level of deemed income (assuming current deeming rates) being counted under the social security income test. This may have negative impacts for strategies affected by deemed income, such as the assessment of account based pensions started from 1 January 2015 and eligibility for the Commonwealth Seniors Health Care Card (CSHC) from that date.
3.3 Other changes that could affect older Australians and families
Proposed effective date – various
The family home will continue to be exempt as an asset regardless of its value.
Concessions for pensioners and Seniors Card holders may reduce due to Government withdrawing state and territory funding in provision of state and territory concessions for eligible pensioners and seniors.
The minimum age to qualify for Newstart Allowance and Sickness Allowance will increase to 25 years for new applicants from 1 January 2015.
Currently, many social security related payments are indexed in line with the higher of the increases in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), Male Total Average Weekly Earnings or the Pensioner and Beneficiary Living Cost Index.
From 1 September 2017, certain social security payments will be indexed by the CPI. These payments include:
Bereavement Allowance
Age Pension
Carer Payment
Certain Department of Veterans' Affairs pensions.
The proposed new indexation arrangements will lead to a comparative reduction in the growth of the above entitlements. So to maintain your standard of living, you may need to rely more on your own capital and closely monitor your cash flow needs.
4. Older Australians – Self-funded
4.1 Commonwealth Seniors Health Card (CSHC) eligibility test changes
Proposed effective date 1 January 2015
Untaxed superannuation income will be included in the assessment of income to determine eligibility for the CSHC from 1 January 2015.
The assessment of superannuation income will be the same for CSHC holders as for Age Pension recipients and will align with the 2013-14 Budget measure – that is, it will deem the balances of account-based superannuation of pensioners from 1 January 2015.
All superannuation account-based income streams held by CSHC holders as of 1 January 2015 will be grandfathered and any income/lump sums from these income streams will not be assessed.
Currently, tax free income payments or lump sums received by those over age 60 are exempt from assessment for the CSHC. This proposal appears to change the eligibility test for CSHC from a 'taxable income' test to a Centrelink income test. But if you start receiving a super account-based income stream before 1 January 2015 you won't come under the new deeming rules.
4.2 Wage subsidy for employers hiring job seekers age 50 and over
Under a new program named Restart, a payment of up to $10,000 over two years will be available to employers who hire an eligible mature age job seeker aged 50 years or over on a full-time basis.
Employers that hire mature-aged job seekers on a part‑time basis (12-29 hours per week) will be eligible for a pro‑rated subsidy based on hours worked.
To be eligible for a payment, employers must employ job-seekers over age 50 that were previously unemployed for a minimum of six months, plus they must employ that person for at least six months.
Payments will be paid in the following instalments:
To be eligible for Restart, employers will need to demonstrate that the job they are offering is sustainable and ongoing, and that they are not displacing existing workers with subsidised job seekers.
4.3 Removal of Seniors Supplement
The Government will remove the Seniors Supplement for holders of the CSHC. This measure will also apply to veterans who hold a CSHC or Gold Card. The Seniors Supplement is currently paid at the rate of $876.20 pa for a single person and $660.40 pa for each member of a couple.
Eligible seniors who do not receive a pension will continue to be eligible for the CSHC.
5. Families
5.1 Paid Parental Leave
The Government has restated its plan to revamp the paid parental leave scheme.
The scheme will provide paid parental leave for 26 weeks based on pre-birth earnings up to an annual cap of $100,000 including superannuation payments, a payment of up to $50,000 including super over the 26 week period.
5.2 Changes to Family Tax Benefit (FTB) Part A and B
Indexation of FTB payment rates will be frozen for two years until 1 July 2016. This will affect the maximum and base rates of FTB Part A and FTB Part B.
The end of year supplement for both FTB Part A and Part B will decrease. The Part A supplement will fall from $726.35 to $600.00 per child pa whilst the Part B supplement will fall from $354.05 to $300.00 per family pa. Indexation of these supplements will also cease from 1 July 2015
Currently, families do not receive a reduction below the base rate of FTB Part A until annual family income reaches $94,316 plus $3,796 per child. From 1 July 2015 the $3,796 per child add-on to the allowed income will cease.
Currently, FTB Part A families receive a large family supplement which is payable for their third and each subsequent child. This is currently $313.90 per child pa. From 1 July 2015, this payment will apply for the fourth and subsequent children in a family.
The current primary income earner limit of $150,000 pa will reduce to $100,000 pa. FTB Part B will also cease to be paid to families from 1 July 2015 once their youngest child reaches six years of age. Transitional arrangements will apply which allow families receiving FTB Part B on 1 July 2015 for a child six years of age or over to remain eligible for a further two years.
Single parent families on the maximum rate of FTB Part A will receive $750 pa for each child aged between six and 12. The payment will start when the family becomes ineligible for FTB Part B due to their youngest child turning six.
The changes to the FTB Part A income thresholds will mean that you may need to look at the income estimates you provide to Human Services to receive this payment. If this estimate is miscalculated and you receive fortnightly payments throughout the year, you may incur a debt at the end of the financial year. A potentially safer option if you're close to the upper threshold is to wait until the end of the financial year and receive an annual payment when you lodge your tax return.
For parents with young families, the FTB Part B changes could mean you need to plan for the extra cashflow required if one of you wants to stay at home or only work part time after your youngest child turns six.
6.1 Medical appointment co-payment
A patient contribution of $7 is proposed for each visit to a doctor (GP), out-of-hospital pathology and diagnostic imagery services (even from those who currently bulk-bill). This co-payment would also be able to be applied to those attending a hospital emergency department for services usually supplied by a GP. The co-payment is proposed to apply from 1 July 2015. Patients who hold concession cards and children under age 16 will generally only pay the contribution for the first ten visits in a year.
6.2 Fuel excise
Proposed effective date 1 August 2014
The Government is reintroducing indexation of fuel excise from 1 August 2014 with the goal of securing more stable funding for additional road infrastructure projects.
Twice-yearly indexation by the CPI of excise and excise-equivalent customs duty will be reintroduced for all fuels except aviation fuels.

'He never hit her in front of me again' – Donna Ferrato's domestic abuse photos

For nearly four decades, the photojournalist Donna Ferrato has documented the effects of domestic violence on abused women and their families. Her book and series Living with the Enemy is one of the most important works on the subject.
She launched a campaign in 2014 called I Am Unbeatable, which features women who have left their abusers.
In 1981, Ferrato was commissioned by Playboy magazine in Japan to document the supposedly hedonistic lifestyle of Elisabeth and Bengt, a couple of New Jersey swingers. Ferrato's pictures told a different story – the most famous of which, below, is included in Time magazine's 100 most influential images of all time.
Here, she tells the stories behind some of the most potent images in the collection.
Bengt Hits Elisabeth, 1982
"This is the moment that changed my life. It changed Elisabeth's life. I don't know what it did to her husband – I don't think he cared at all. But for the two of us women, it changed our lives. I'd never seen a woman being hit; I didn't grow up with violence. I didn't know he would ever hit her," Ferrato said.
"Late that night, I heard her screaming. I picked up my camera and went running to the bathroom. This was the very first picture I took in that room. When he went to hit her again, I grabbed his arm and said: 'What are you doing?' He said: 'I'm just disciplining her because she is my wife and she is lying to me'.
"Philip Jones Griffiths, my then partner and president of Magnum photos, said: 'Donna, I've never seen anything like this, just keep doing it. Keep going.'
"I continued to spend time with them. He never hit her in front of me again. She became strong and got him out of her life after one more near-fatal incident."
Six-year-old child Diamond shouts at his father as the police arrest him for domestic violence, Minneapolis, 1986
"People are always very shocked by this. You don't see that many pictures that have this level of real content to them: the boy is saying: 'I hate you for hitting my mother, and don't you ever come back to this house.' Even the cops had never seen that. And I'd never seen a child stand up to his abusive father. That blew my mind. The mom hadn't called the cops – the boy called the cops. He had just shown the police where his father had hidden the screwdriver.
"It was pitch dark at nine o'clock in the morning, I was bouncing the flash off the ceiling – I didn't even know how to bounce flash, but I was experimenting. That's shooting in the dark – that's like Jedi shooting!"
Soldier getting ready for guard duty during the Gulf war, Hafar al-Batin, Saudi Arabia, 1991
"I went to Saudi Arabia to document women who were fighters, soldiers. She was cleaning her gun before going on duty that night. She's doing her job. But this caption is my opinion – that it's every woman's right to serve, protect and kill. Because if we don't, we end up dead from a lot of these men."
Donna Ferrato's parents, Virginia, 1994
"Dad wasn't physically violent but he was bipolar, he was unfaithful, he was chaotic, he was all over the place, and my mom did not know how to handle this.
"For me, this is an important picture. I didn't grow up seeing him beat her, but over the years I saw how he manipulated her, how he abused her psychologically. That's what this represents – how a man can really abuse a woman, not physically, but psychologically and emotionally bringing her down.
"She gave him everything, and he didn't value it."
Millie Bianco, New Orleans, 1999
"This is a very important picture. I was at a domestic violence conference and all of a sudden I saw this woman, Millie Bianco, with a picture of her daughter, Lisa Bianco. Lisa was a very badly beaten woman. She took out a protection order and filed charges against her husband. He went to prison because the abuse was horrific. But he was always saying: 'When l get out, I'm going to kill that fucking bitch. She put me in here; I'm going to kill her.'
"One day, the prison gave him a day furlough, with a car, to supposedly go and see his mother. Instead, he went to Lisa's house. She had a beeper that would tell her when he came close, because he had to have a tag on his ankle. She was in the shower, the beeper went off, she went running out into the street naked. He was there with a sawn-off shotgun, and he beat her to death.
"He got the death penalty and was executed, but for the mother, that's nothing. It's like, the system let him kill her."
International Women's Day march, Madrid, 2019
"This was exhilarating. It just feels so good when you're being carried away by a sea of women who are fed up and not going to take it any more. They're chanting and they're laughing and singing and feeling safe in the streets. It's hard for women to feel safe now. Wherever we go we can get beaten, raped. It's almost like we're walking with a target on our backs when we go out alone."
Taryn Booker practising a spiritual ceremony called praise flagging, East Hampton, New York, 2011
"She's an incredible walking miracle – what she's survived, from three different men, terrible abuse, and from her early years: a lot of sexual abuse. She never knew her real value. Whenever she was in a relationship with an abuser, she'd be in and out of shelters. I met her in a shelter in the Hamptons and she told me she'd never go back to him, but she did. And the last time she left him, he almost killed her.
"She said she'd never get involved with another abuser again. Then she got involved with another guy and everything seemed so perfect in the beginning, and you see, he gave her two broken legs and nearly choked her to death. Now she says she's done with men, she's really done, she's focusing on her daughter. She's focusing on life, she's working hard. I can only hope and pray, because I think the next man she's with will kill her.
"And she's such a powerful woman – she's writing books, she's very generous, loving, kind."
Self-portrait, Ohio, 1976-2018
"You've heard of The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the portrait in the closet that changed because he led a dissolute life? When I was about 27 and divorced, it was time for me to go out in the world. I felt like I needed to commemorate that moment with a self-portrait. So I turned myself into an old woman, because I knew that people didn't respect young women, and took some pictures. I didn't really look at them for 20 or 30 years.
"But finally, when I looked at the film, on this frame only, the bolts are coming right out of my head. That's weird.
"That's power – post-menopausal power, coming out! Because we get a lot more powerful as we get older!"
The Living with the Enemy series is included in the book Holy, published by powerHouse Books in the autumn. Ferrato's work is currently on display at two exhibitions in Madrid as part of PhotoEspaña


Yesterday in Reykjavik at the Swedish embassy Trivimi Velliste handed to Carl Bildt, the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, the annual award of the Baltic assembly for his services in strengthening the unity and cooperation of the Baltic States.
Ministers and representatives of the Nordic countries - Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland - were gathered for a summit meeting in Reykjavik from 2 to 4 November 2010. Representatives of the Baltic Assembly were invited to participate as observers in the annual Nordic summit meeting with the goal to discuss and support cooperation between the Nordic countries and the Baltic States.

Big 12 Iowa State Kansas Texas Oklahoma Kansas State TCU Arkansas Notre Dame LSU
Sarkisian finishing Texas class Herman began, OU tops Big 12
By STEPHEN HAWKINS - Feb. 03, 2021 07:28 PM EST

Tom Herman started the 2021 Texas recruiting class. Steve Sarkisian is finishing it up, and the new Longhorns coach can still sign a few more players.
Sarkisian inherited a group of 19 signees recruited by Herman before the coaching change in January, then Wednesday added a group of four more players that included senior transfer linebacker Ray Thornton from LSU. Sarkisian noted he's got four scholarships left to offer if a player emerges in the transfer portal in the coming months.
"All in all, I think we did a really good job in the 2021 class, leaving us some wiggle room and filling some needs," said Sarkisian, the former Alabama offensive coordinator who was part of the Crimson Tide's national championship victory Jan. 11 after being named the new Texas coach within hours after Herman's firing.
The Longhorns came up short of having the Big 12's top recruiting class for the fourth year in a row. They are second behind Oklahoma for the first time since the Sooners last had the league's top class in 2017, according to rankings by 247Sports.
Oklahoma was successful during the early signing period in December, and also added five transfers, three from Tennessee. That left the six-time defending Big 12 champion Sooners in good shape before what used to be the traditional signing date.
"With the guys we brought in (via transfer), it made today pretty easy," Sooners coach Lincoln Riley said. "We didn't send out one NLI (national letter of intent). We pretty much, we knew we weren't going to sign another high school player once the transfer portal shook out the way that it did."
Like Sarkisian at Texas, Riley still has room to add some transfers.
While the Longhorns went 32-18 in four seasons with bowl victories each season under Herman, and had the conference's top recruiting class the past three seasons, that didn't translate into a Big 12 title. They made only one league championship game appearance, and they last were conference champs in 2009.
Sarkisian said he spent some time getting to know the players who had signed with Herman, and building some immediate trust with them.
"You try to give them a feel of who you are and what you're about," Sarkisian said. "They made the commitment and they signed with the university of Texas. We wanted to reassure them that they had a home here. ... I think all the kids that signed in December feel great about being here."
RUNNING TO CYCLONES
Iowa State, coming off its first Big 12 championship game appearance last season, got a big late add to its 2021 class with the signing Wednesday of four-star running back Eli Sanders from Chandler, Arizona.
Sanders, ranked the nation's 18th-best running back by Rivals, ran for 1,377 yards and 23 touchdowns in 10 games as a senior when Chandler High won its second consecutive state title.
The Cyclones signed 18 players in the early signing period in December, right after their 8-1 record in the Big 12 that was the best in the league.
OUT OF THE TOP 10
Oklahoma's signing class that ranked as best in the Big 12 checked in 11th nationally. It is the first time since 2014 that the conference doesn't occupy one of the top 10 spots in the 247Sports team rankings.
Texas was 17th, with the next-best from the Big 12 being Oklahoma State at 39th.
As for the rest of the Big 12, West Virginia was fourth among league teams, followed by Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, TCU and Texas Tech.
HIGH-FLYING HAWKS
You wouldn't think Kansas is coming off a winless season by looking at their recruiting haul.
Jayhawks coach Les Miles managed a class that includes quarterback Conrad Hawley, the top prep player in the Kansas City metro area last season, and got a big boost Wednesday with the late addition of Quaydarius Davis, a four-star prospect from Dallas.
The Jayhawks also added offensive lineman Colin Grunhard, who grew up in Kansas City before walking on at Notre Dame and earning a scholarship. He is the son of former Chiefs star and ex-Jayhawks assistant Tim Grunhard, and is already on campus.
IN-CONFERENCE TRANSFERS
Among five signees added Wednesday by TCU, pushing it class to 20, was freshman dual-threat quarterback Chandler Morris, a transfer from Oklahoma. He appeared in five games as a true freshman for the Sooners last year, and had a 2-yard TD run in the Big 12 championship game.
Morris, who was 27-2 as a starter and accounted for 125 touchdowns in his final two prep seasons at Highland Park High in Dallas, is the son of former Arkansas and SMU head coach Chad Morris.
The Horned Frogs also lost an in-conference transfer, with senior offensive lineman TJ Storment among five Power Five transfers to Texas Tech already enrolled on the Lubbock campus. The only addition Wednesday to the Red Raiders' 17-player signee class was defensive back Imari Jones from Coronado High in Lubbock.
WILDCATS NEXT QB?
Kansas State hopes to have back quarterback Skylar Thompson after he missed most of last season with an injury, thanks to the COVID-19 rules that gave players an additional year of eligibility. But they may have found his replacement in Jake Rubley, a four-star prospect from West Des Moines, Iowa, and one of the best pro-style quarterbacks in the country.

When not working with Kim Lowings or Chris Cleverley, guitarist David Sutherland can now be found accompanying singer Kathryn Marsh as acoustic duo ASHLAND. Formed last October, they're currently recording a debut album under the guiding hand of Wolverhampton singer-songwriter turned producer Dan Whitehouse. Three tracks have currently surfaced as an EP, the Nick Richards-penned Funny Old World title track and, written by Sutherland, the gentle fingerpicked, slightly jazzier Blue (both of which are available as a free download at https://ashlandduo.bandcamp.com) with the physical version having the bonus wistful This Heart, more calling to mind the days of� early 70s contemporary English folk than the current crop suggesting they're likely to find favour among audiences with a fondness for Jacqui McShee, Miranda Sykes, Hilary James and Vashti Bunyan.
�Having left Ocean Colour Scene last year, ANDY BENNETT makes his first bid for solo success with Hole In The Road, an acoustic-based single that, featuring him on guitar, bass and drums accompanied by piano and strings, radiates Beatles influences (something also evident in the Magical Mystery Tour feel of the video) and McCartney in particular. It's backed by the acoustic Three Wish Genie, but unfortunately the CD fell foul of the Royal Mail and I can't find it online, so I have no idea what it sounds like.
Back in the day, Mick Butler used to be in Scream Jeezus, going on to be part of Papa Mantra and Sumo before finally following a solo path as SICKY. He's just released his second album, Lost Souls Found (the follow up to 2014's Loveland), a dozen strong collection of muscular, often blues-streaked indie on which, given there's no credits, I'm assuming he plays pretty much everything.� It's a heady brew, the brooding I'll Be Around full of the sort of orchestral flourishes you'd expect from a Bond theme, a full sound that returns for Black Waltz, while, by contrast, Dynamite opens with hints of skittish drum and bass before turning into an� itchy almost calypsoish� rhythm, Get Me A Gun is carried on a throbbing fever sweat pulse, Am I Warm nods to Bowie colours, Someday Child is whistling summery pop and, closing up shop,� Bad Ass runs from a sparse, breathy intro to a dark waltzing swell over the repeated line "must have been a real bad ass." This is ambitious, thoughtfully constructed and forcefully performed stuff that deserves far more exposure than the Mick's current under the radar profile.
Another name with music CV dating back to the late 80s, Robin Surgeoner used to be the guitarist with Dan Dare's Dog. Since then, as well as maintaining a musical career, he's been involved with theatre work, Disability Art, Equality and Diversity training programmes and competed three time as a swimmer in the Paralympics. And got an MBE and a Gold Medal.� With former Paul Foad of Au Pairs fame� playing lead guitar� on a couple of tracks, he's just released Black Thursday, a new album as ANGRYFISH on his own label. Titled after a Disability Arts Project and sung in nasally Billy Bragg meets �Mike Skinner tones with scratchy indie funk guitars and a touch of Ian Dury, it is, as you might imagine, agenda-driven with numbers, like the opening Reward, the witty Far Queue and� Special Needs, about pushing for equal rights and treatment. Building as it goes, it gathers to a head, the tender ballad The Last Time Ever I Saw Your Face, featuring Foad and Chris King on electric piano, paving the way for the psychedelic guitar distortion swirls of Clutching, the lurching, loping rhythms of The Tale of Basement-Billy (a song about the government's bullying of the weak and disabled) and the similarly themed six-and-a-half minute� jazz-blues shrug title track,� with a hidden bonus reprise of Special Needs to round it off. Agit-prop rock in the tradition of Wire, Gang of Four and, indeed the Au Pairs, it's something we could with more of these days.
Another songsmith with a political and social agenda to his material is Stourbridge's DAVID JENKINS whose self-released debut album, Hammer $ Cynical embraces folk, pop and world music and is based on his own experience of love, loss, faith and politics.� I have to confess I wasn't immediately taken with it but, while I'm still not a fan of the opening The One In My Heart, revealed more and subtler riches, with several of the songs addressing the paradox of how religions which preach peace are used to wage war. The most obvious of these is jaunty, whistling folk blues Distorted Faith Blues, but the theme's also present on the hypnotic The Gun & The Olive Branch, which, featuring tabla, unfolds over a mantra-like Arabic drone melody in its call for emancipation and liberation from political corruption and tyranny, and Heaven Help Me where you might feel like adding Labi Siffre to such acknowledged influences as Richard Thompson, Elbow, Anoushka Shankar, Bruce Cockburn, Joni Mitchell and Lau. I suspect George Harrison is in there somewhere too.
With the instrumentation including manjira, bongos, dholak� and Cajun drums, glockenspiel and Anna Downes on violin with producer Chris Welch playing cello and organ, other impressive tracks include You Dream of Diamonds (which deals with Third World child poverty), the harmonica braced The War You Don't See, tender plea Heal Me Now, A Line In The Sand (a take a stand against corporate soullessness number where Martyn Joseph looms large), the snake charmer sway� of Reign Of Blows and, Carrie Garrett providing harmonies, the closing country-folk fingerpicked acoustic Follow The Light with its choice to either do what you will and curse at the stars or find faith. Well worth seeking out and letting it grow on you.
Launching with a gig at the Hare & Hounds in Kings Heath on March 14, Into The Fire is the lead track from the debut EP by beardy Wolverhampton folkster RICHI JONES. Having already racked up over 2,000,000 You Tube hits and beating 10,000 other entrants to win the OPen Mic UK contest last year,��he's now taking the next step with this softly caressed ballad that reveals a breathily husky, Irish accented voice reminiscent of Newton Faulkner and Jack Savoretti.

Синтаксичний цукор () — узагальнена назва, яка позначає доповнення синтаксису мови програмування, які не додають нових можливостей, а роблять використання мови програмування зручнішим для людини. Зазвичай це додаткові легкозасвоювані синтаксичні конструкції, часто схожі на інші мови програмування, до яких могла звикнути людина. Інколи синтаксичним цукром називають додаткові бібліотеки, у яких реалізовані готовий функціонал, застосування якого потребує написання малої кількості коду та під'єднання відповідних бібліотек. Синтаксичний цукор дає програмісту альтернативний спосіб запису іншої, вже наявної в мові синтаксичної конструкції і при цьому є більш зручним, більш коротким, схожим на інший поширений спосіб запису, або допомагає писати програми в хорошому стилі. З формальної точки зору, синтаксичний цукор нічого не змінює і виразності мові не додає, однак може помітно полегшити програмісту опис деяких операцій. Одночасно, синтаксичний цукор, особливо при його надмірному застосуванні, може погіршувати читання коду і ускладнювати його підтримку. Конструкції, які є синтаксичним цукром, можуть легко транслюватися в конструкції основного синтаксису.

Слід зазначити, що поняття синтаксичного цукру багато в чому є умовним. Його використання припускає, що з багатьох синтаксичних конструкцій можна виділити деякий «базовий набір», що забезпечує всю функціональність мови. Тоді додаткові синтаксичні засоби, які при бажанні можна виразити за допомогою базового набору, і будуть для цієї мови синтаксичним цукром. Однак багато конструкцій є взаємозамінними і далеко не завжди можна точно сказати, які саме з них є базовими, а які — додатковими. Наприклад, у мові Модула-2 є чотири види циклів: цикл з передумовою, цикл з післяумовою, цикл з кроком і безумовний цикл. Теоретично, перші три види циклів можуть бути легко виражені через останній. Чи є вони, в такому випадку, синтаксичним цукром? Зазвичай так не кажуть, хоча формально під вищенаведене визначення вони потрапляють.

Приклади

Масиви в Сі

Масиви в Сі являють собою блоки в пам'яті. Доступ до елементів масиву здійснюється через вказівник на початок блоку пам'яті (тобто, на початок масиву) і зсув елемента щодо початкової адреси. Це може бути записано без використання спеціального синтаксису для масивів (a — вказівник на початок масиву, i — індекс необхідного елемента): *(a+i), але безпосередні операції з адресами в пам'яті і зсувами є великим джерелом помилок програмістів, тому мова надає спеціальний синтаксис: a[i]. Крім того, є можливість звернутися до i-го елементу масиву вже зовсім екзотичним способом: i[a], що аналогічно a[i], оскільки значення вказівника i+a, очевидно, є таке саме, як і a+i.

Тернарна операція в Сі

Інший відомий приклад спеціалізованої мовної конструкції — тернарна умовна операція мови Сі ?:. Наступні два фрагменти коду роблять одне і теж:

int fn();
int a = 1;
int b;
if (a > 0)
    b = fn(1);
else
    b = fn(2);

int fn();
int a = 1;
int b = fn((a > 0)? 1 : 2);

Причина введення такої операції — бажання вставляти перевірку простих умов прямо у вирази і можливість прямо вказати компілятору, що результатом перевірки умови буде єдине значення. Конструкція дійсно скорочує запис, але от з приводу її зручності думки можуть бути різними. Багато хто вважає, що скорочення запису в даному випадку не виправдовує погіршення читання коду.

Перевизначення операторів

До синтаксичного цукру можна віднести і перевизначення операторів, яке підтримується багатьма мовами програмування. Загалом будь-яка операція може бути оформлена як процедура (функція, метод). Перевизначення операторів дозволяє виконувати операції, створені програмістом зовні так само, як і вбудовані в мову.

Властивості

Ще одним прикладом синтаксичного цукру є концепція «властивостей», яка підтримується багатьма сучасними мовами програмування. Мається на увазі визначення в класі псевдополів, які зовні ведуть себе як поля класу (мають ім'я, тип, допускають присвоювання та читання), але насправді такими не є. Кожне звернення до властивості перетвориться компілятором у виклик методу доступу. Властивості абсолютно не є необхідними (методи доступу можна викликати і безпосередньо) і використовуються виключно для зручності, оскільки код з використанням властивостей виглядає дещо простіше і зрозуміліше.

Критика

Не всі програмісти вважають наявність синтаксичного цукру в мовах програмування і використання його програмістами благом. Відома точка зору Ніклауса Вірта, яку поділяє частина спільноти програмістів: згідно з нею, будь-яке розширення мови, не викликане необхідністю, погіршує її, так як призводить до ускладнення транслятора і відповідно до зниження його надійності і продуктивності. Одночасно зростає складність вивчення мови і складність супроводу програм. Крім того, сам факт наявності додаткових синтаксичних засобів часто грає провокуючу роль: він спонукає програміста вдаватися до різних синтаксичних трюків замість того, щоб глибше аналізувати завдання і реалізовувати більш ефективні алгоритми. Ці погляди відображені в мовах сімейства Оберон, дуже простих і практично позбавлених синтаксичного цукру.

Відомий афоризм Алана Перліса: «Синтаксичний цукор викликає рак крапок з комою». Крапка з комою («;»), будучи обов'язковою частиною більшості популярних мов програмування, навіть якщо в новій мові вона не потрібна, залишається як необов'язковий елемент, так як більшість програмістів мають звичку її використовувати. В оригіналі афоризм обігрує співзвуччя англійських слів semicolon (крапка з комою) і colon, останнє з яких означає не тільки двокрапка, але і пряму кишку (colon cancer — рак прямої кишки).

So you want to learn how to make wine at home, but you don't know where to begin. Grab this wine starter kit by Vintner's Harvest.
This comprehensive kit comes with all of the equipment needed to craft a batch of your own unique vino. Just grab your ingredients, a few empty bottles, and you're ready to get started.
In addition to the equipment, the set also includes simple instructions that give you all of the skill and knowledge needed to start making great wine immediately.
After a few trial runs, your friends will start believing that the stuff you're serving came from a renowned commercial winery.
How many pounds of grapes do I need for the wine kit?
The included instructions indicate that you will need a fruit or wine grape concentrate, they do not offer any information regarding the use of fresh grapes.
According to my research, if you're using fresh grapes you will need about 85 to 90 pounds of fresh grapes (still on their stems) to make five gallons of wine. This kit includes a 6 gallon carboy and an 8 gallon fermenter, so that will leave you plenty of room. However, the amount of grapes needed will depend on how juicy the grapes are and how much you're able to press out of them.
I hope that helps point you in the right direction. Thank you for shopping at KegWorks!
Do you have instructions on how to check to see if it started fermentation?

Good morning people. You never know what manner of joy the inbox will deliver each day, but sometimes it is really wonderful. Meet new people, share stories, know there probably won't be time to forge new friendships – judging by the old friendships that have cobwebs on them due to the shortage of time and the things I have chosen to undertake.
But on the bright side, I learned that I'm not the only person who is infatuated with fly art, and many if not most of the people I've met are far more advanced in their artistic endeavors than I am.
This morning, I wanted to share a painting by Nathaniel Price, a fellow fly tier – angler – artist.
Nathaniel Price Intruder Painting, April 2015.
Thank you Nathaniel, for sharing this image to inspire my tying.
If several people were willing to share their art with me I would include their work in one or more of my new books that are presently in production, destined to join the nine titles already available on Amazon.
May you all have a good day ahead of you.
Three Flies to Fish Out of Pacific City – in a single day!
I had to chuckle the other day when I glanced at my SIMMS Boat Bag and noticed the wild assortment of flies tangled in a little scruffy patch on the top of the Bag. Among the dozen or so flies were three that I had recently fished in a single day, and caught fish on too. Pacific City is a paradise for me, my analog to Rodrick Haig Brown's Campbell River home that I read and dreamed about my entire life. The fishing opportunities within an hour of our cabin are so rich and enjoyable, and while there are certainly more glamorous and exotic destinations around the state and the world, I find myself quite amused and engaged with the fishing here close to PC. The day in question began with a quick trip into the Ocean with Ed and Kevin in their dory, fishing for pacific black rockfish, blue rockfish, and lingcod.
The morning fly for the ocean – a fine clouser.
This modest size clouser caught 4 species of bottom fish, including blacks, kings (nope, that is the auto correct changing "lings" to "kings", blues, and yellowtail rockfish. On the beach by ten AM, I had to rest, so I took a short nap, re-read a few entries in the Fly Fishing Book of Revelation and then headed up to the Town lake, a mere three minutes from the cabin. The little Chironomid nymph in a size 16 was about right to entice a nice summer steelhead kelt that was all shiny and full of jumps and runs, plus a few hatchery trout. Note: the hatchery trout prefer a bead head gold ribbed hares ear nymph to the buzzer.
Size 16 Chironomid Nymph – perfect for the Town Lake Steelhead.
Back from the lake by 3 PM, I unloaded trout rods, donned waders and cleated boots, and drove up the Nestucca, where I swung flies throughout the evening. I did not hook any steelhead on this particular day, but on many occasions I have, and (fish or no) any evening swinging flies in a river that is only 20 minutes from my door is a great joy.
One of my favorite winter/spring clear water steelhead wet flies.
Of course there is always work to be done, like mowing the lawn, tidying tackle, tying flies, writing about these adventures, working on book creation and sales. and helping Chris with customer recommendations, not to mention an occasional fly tying video. But all in all, life is good and the sight of these 3 flies helped me remember just how diverse the fishing opportunities here on the Oregon Coast. I bet there are many places around this state and others where you could fish three wildly different flies in a single day too, and I'd love to hear from anyone who is willing to share their home water stories.
Wild Juvenile Chinook in Nestucca River during April, 2015.
Much of the time when we are fishing our focus is very narrow. Sometimes, it is startling to see what is going on in our coastal rivers. The photo above, not so very good an image, taken with cell phone last week, shows (I think) a dozen juvenile chinook salmon suspended in a little pool at the river's edge.
The Nestucca and all of our coastal rivers are alive right now with these tiny little salmon, and soon the coho and steelhead fry will join them as they continue to emerge from the gravels. To be sure, there could be a few steelhead fry out already but I'm pretty sure that most of these little fish were chinook, but of course I can't be sure.
Just wanted to share this image and the thought, in hopes that our rivers may always support vigorous runs of wild salmon, trout, and steelhead. Let's hope that those who follow us in fifty and a hundred years see as many (or more) little fish in the rivers as I did just recently.
I noticed a steelhead carcass in the water near the Three Rivers boat ramp. I expected that crawfish would be picking on the meat at night, but I was surprised to see a cloud of Chinook salmon fry hovering above the carcass with little fish picking at the meat. This is not something I expected from juvenile chinook here in Oregon, and I was really pleased to be able to see it first hand.
If you are a salmon conservation advocate, student of the historical record of salmon conservation, or simply a person passionate about the future of wild Pacific Salmon, you might find Conversation With A Salmon of interest.
The Big POPPER Box, ready for action – anything from steelhead, sea bass, and silvers.
Given the recent bonanza in surface action fishing for Pacific Black Sea Bass in the ocean near Cape Kiwanda, I have been focused on tying a variety of Poppers and Gurglers. I have fished these crazy surface flies in a variety of forms, including the ones i make using the Gary Krebs Popper Jig cutter Jig set. These were the poppers I had the most experience with, but this season I have expanded to tying and fishing large and small Gurglers. These are wonderful flies to fish, they are very effective, and they only require foam sheeting to tie. My 3rd popper style is the hard foam popper body that I buy in a bag with hooks. These just need to be glued onto the hook, and then I add a tail usually of bucktail plus one of several varieties of Enrico Puglesi's 1.5 inch or 3 inch brushes. I especially like the Senyo Chromatic Brush, Minnow Head Brush, and the Anadromous brush for creating a collar on these Poppers. Expect some fly tying videos on the Caddis Fly Blog eventually, but for now, here are some images to whet the apetite.
Small Poppers created with Gary Krebs Popper Jig set.
Blue Foam Anchovy Gurgler inspired by John Garrett's Facebook posts. Thanks John!
Steelhead Gurglers ready for the 2015 season.
Hope you find a little inspiration here to tie your own poppers in whatever form – and do so soon.

Live-blogging the last Republican presidential debate before Super Tuesday
This is the last debate for almost a month, and it's the first debate since Santorum started taking the lead in national polls. So the pressure is on.
I'll be live-blogging here. Keep reloading for more updates.
For more live-blogging, check out TalkingPointsMemo or National Review.
You can watch the debate live online at CNN's homepage.
As always, any quotes in this post are written down on the fly, without a transcript or a pause/rewind button. They may not be verbatim, but I'll try to keep them reasonably accurate.
8:07 - The candidates are all sitting down, unlike all the other debates on the major cable news networks.
8:08 - Mitt Romney cuts short his own introduction: "As George Costanza would say, when they're applauding, stop." [UPDATE: Jason (the commenter) points out that Romney was referring to this episode of Seinfeld:
At the coffee shop, George laments to Jerry about losing respect at a project meeting led by Mr. Kruger after following a good suggestion with a bad joke. . . . At the next Kruger meeting, George takes Jerry's suggestion and actually leaves the room after a well-received joke.]
8:18 - Ron Paul is asked why he has released an ad calling Rick Santorum "a fake." His answer: "Because he's a fake." Santorum, who's sitting right next to Paul, holds out his arms and says: "I'm real!"
8:22 - Romney is asked why said he was a "severely conservative governor." He massages his unfortunate word choice: "severe — strict." Then he segues into fiscal conservatism.
8:29 - Rick Santorum spends a long time defending earmarks, which seems like a questionable strategy in the Republican primaries. Romney responds dismissively: "I didn't follow all that."
8:33 - The discussion of earmarks is very chaotic, with lots of crosstalk and booing of Romney and Santorum. There doesn't seem to be any dramatic difference of opinion among any of the candidates. None of them seem to be taking the John McCain approach of opposing the whole process of earmarks on principle.
8:42 - Paul takes issue with people who say the bailout of General Motors worked: "That's like saying someone who robbed a bank was successful! You still broke the law to do it."
8:46 - All the candidates are asked whether they "believe in birth control." The audience boos loudly. In a bizarre non sequitur, Gingrich says that no one in the media in 2008 asked Barack Obama why he supported "infanticide."
8:50 - Santorum is asked what he meant by talking about "the dangers of contraception" on the campaign trail. He claims that "the New York Times was talking about the same thing" recently in a review of Charles Murray's book on the white underclass. He doesn't explain what that has to do with contraception. He adds: "Just because I'm talking about it doesn't mean that I want a government program to fix it." That's disingenuous. Right after explaining why he thinks contraception is "not okay," Santorum added that "these are important public policy issues." What else did he mean by those words if not that he would like to see some kind of public policy change to deal with the problem of contraception?
9:02 - Romney tries out a desperate new argument against Santorum: he supported Senator Arlen Specter, who's from Santorum's state of Pennsylvania and cast a deciding vote in favor of Obamacare. So instead of criticizing Romney for providing a model for Obamacare, Santorum should "look in the mirror."
9:21 - All the candidates are asked to define themselves in just one word. Paul: "Consistent." Santorum: "Courage." Romney: "Resolute." Gingrich: "Cheerful."
9:52 - The candidates are asked what the biggest misconception about each of them is. Paul: "That I can't win." He mentions a poll where he does the best in a match-up against President Obama. Gingrich: They don't understand how much work it took for him to achieve welfare reform and a balanced budget (under President Clinton). Romney: That his record or positions on specific issues are more important than his overall leadership qualities. Santorum dodges the question, but says he's shown that he "can do a lot with a little": he doesn't have much money but he's still winning.
That's all for tonight, and that might be all until the general election.

"All the candidates are asked to define themselves in just one word. Paul: "Consistent." Santorum: "Courage." Romney: "Resolute." Gingrich: "Cheerful."
wouldn't it be better if king instead asked all candidates to describe the candidate on his left with one word?
Jason (the commenter) said...
Santorum then uses the rest of the debate to prove Ron Paul's accusations completely accurate.
8:08 - Mitt Romney cuts short his own introduction: "As George Costanza would say, when they're applauding, stop." I'm pretty sure George Costanza didn't say anything like that.
There was an episode that revolved around George leaving meetings as soon as he said something that got a really good reaction.

Better NBA duo: Durant-Irving or James-Davis?
By The Tylt
by Daniel Tran
Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving shocked the NBA by joining forces in Brooklyn, sending NBA fans into a frenzy about their potential. The new duo represents two of the best players in the league with a combined scoring touch that is among the most dangerous in the league. However, in Los Angeles, LeBron James and Anthony Davis may represent the best duo in the league with their combined length and overall brilliance. Which duo is the best in the NBA?
The scales in the NBA have shifted thanks to Durant and Irving. That's the kind of thing that happens when two athletes in their prime get together.
When Durant gets healthy, he and Irving will form one of the most lethal scoring combinations in the NBA. Durant is a 7'0 guard with an unblockable shot and limitless range while Irving can get to the rim at will with a killer dribble and the ability to creatively finish around the rim. Together, there isn't a defense that can stop both of them.
They are the top duo in the league.
Durant and Irving might be the hottest names right now, but Anthony Davis teaming up with LeBron James still represents the greatest combining of stars this offseason.
James is older, but he is still putting MVP numbers and is just as unstoppable on his drives. His intelligence and court vision are only getting better, and it will come in handy finding Anthony Davis around the basket. Davis is also a monster in his own regard, bringing All-Defensive team-caliber work and elite all-around scoring ability. Not only can those two score, but they can lock you down.
That kind of overall dominance cannot be ignored.

Maasai Mara National Reserve is 1,510 sq km (580 sq miles) and with the addition of the conservancies and the area is at least twice the size. The park has more than 95 species of mammals and 570 recorded species of birds.
When booking your safari, ensure that you have Maasai Mara booked in your itinerary. The wildebeest migration is one of the items you have do add to your bucket list. Best time to be in Kenya for it is JULY - OCTOBER although Kenya is a great year round destination.
The name Maasai Mara comes from two words. 'Maasai' comes from the Maasai tribe, nomadic inhabitants of the area and the word 'Mara' is their word for 'spotted', referring to the ubiquitous flat topped acacia trees, shrubs and bushes that dot the landscape across most of the reserve.
Although it only comprises of 0.01 % of the total Africa landmass, you are able to see more than 40% of Africa's mammals. Guests are able to see all wild cats-lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, giraffes and a variety of other species while in their natural habitat.
Are you aware that approximately 200,000 wildebeest don't make it to the final destination because they fall prey to the carnivores, die of hunger or thirst or drown in the Mara River which provide food and nutrients for the current eco system.

Peter Jacobs, or Pahtahsega, meaning "one who makes the world brighter," Methodist missionary (b near present-day Belleville, Ont c 1807; d at Rama Reserve, Lk Simcoe, Ont 4 Sept 1890). An early Mississauga (Ojibwa) convert to Methodism, Jacobs served first as a prayer leader and interpreter, and later as an ordained minister in Rupert's Land at Lake of the Woods, and at Fort Alexander and Norway House. Twice he visited England on missionary tours (1842-43, 1850). His published journal of his return trip in 1852 from central Canada to York Factory on Hudson Bay provides a graphic account of the perils of such an overland journey. Expelled by the Methodists (1858) for soliciting funds in the US without the church's approval, he settled at Rama, where he worked as a schoolteacher, merchant and guide.
