With its blend of mohair and cotton, this coatigan hangs perfectly and is extremely comfortable. The worked knot, graphic print and contrasting borders add volume and structure to your silhouette. This cardigan looks just as great with a dress as with bleached jeans, a lace top and heels for urban style that's perfectly on-point.


Welcome to Seekerville! Today I wanted to talk about something that I think is crucial in story structure, yet something not a lot of authors fully understand. I'm still on this learning train too by the way.
Just this week I was brainstorming a new proposal with my editors in New York the day before Book Expo America and it dawned on me that character motivation has many more layers than I had really consciously thought about before.

Rosie Cooper MP welcomes the continued operation of West Lancashire's flood pumps
Rosie Cooper MP has welcomed the decision by the Environment Agency (EA) to continue to operate the West Lancashire Flood Pumps for an interim period.
The news comes on the back of a lengthy campaign by Rosie Cooper MP to ensure that the Alt Crossens flood pumps which had previously been under notice for closure in Summer 2017 are not just closed and West Lancashire homes, farms and businesses left to flood.
West Lancashire MP Rosie Cooper said:
"I welcome this news as it gives us some certainty if only in the short term that these pumps will not just be switched off and residents in West Lancashire just left to flood in severe weather conditions.
"However, we must be mindful that this is just a short term measure whilst the government sorts out its legislation on who is responsible for what and how the flood pumps will operate in the future.
"I have previously campaigned hard for the setting up of an Internal Drainage Board (IDB) as EA are keen to offload the responsibility of future management of the flood and drainage pumps in the Alt Crossens area. At this point though, government legislation is blocking progress.
"Once government sorts itself out the responsibility will lie with local agencies including the EA, Lancashire County Council and West Lancashire Borough Council to pull together and find a solution as doing nothing is not an option.
"We must protect people's homes and businesses. This is land that also generates £230 million of income and provides 2,500 jobs. This is a vital sector of our local economy.
"I will continue to work to ensure there is progress made in parliament to allow for West Lancashire to protect itself from further flooding."

Hell on Wheels is in trouble if it can't maintain my interest, since I'm a fan of Westerns who's eager for the genre to make a prime-time comeback — and, therefore, an ideal audience for this show. Alas, the post-Civil War saga, about the literal railroading of America, starring Anson Mount as a vengeful Man in Black, lacks narrative steam.
Mount's Cullen Bohannon is a taciturn former Confederate soldier given to portentous pronouncements that don't fit his character, such as "Looks to me like chaos is winnin'." He's hell-bent on avenging the killing of his wife, but in the meantime, he's been hired onto the expanding transcontinental railroad. He oversees laborers including Elam Ferguson, an emancipated slave played by musician-actor Common. The series is stuffed with fine actors, among them Star Trek franchise vet Colm Meaney as the corrupt rail entrepreneur and Damages' lanky police detective, Tom Noonan, as a beanpole preacher. Every character, however, is too one-note from what I've seen: Common's Elam is angry, Noonan's Reverend Cole is eccentric, etc.
Creators and exec producers Joe and Tony Gayton seem to be straining for the sort of magnificently bleak emotional landscapes of an Anthony Mann-directed Western such as Man of the West. They've got the visuals down pat — the series has a lush sprawl that looks like someone robbed AMC's piggy bank. But too often the Gaytons' show goes all gassy and fizzles, like a humorless Blazing Saddles. C


Beyoncé has paid tribute to the victims of the recent attack on a historic black South Carolina church in a moving video posted on her Instagram page.
The clip, posted late on Thursday, shows a black and white Google Maps screenshot of the building as names of the nine people who lost their lives in the deadly shooting flash across the screen.
"My heart is with the families, loved ones, and all of those affected by the senseless tragedy in Charleston," Beyoncé wrote. "May they rest in peace."
On Friday, Dylann Roof, a 21-year-old white man, was charged with nine counts of murder in connection with the attack, which took place during a bible study session at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. He has confessed to carrying out the massacre.
Six women and three men were killed. The nine victims are Cynthia Hurd, 54; Susie Jackson, 87; Ethel Lance, 70; Rev. Sharonda Singleton, 45; Myra Thompson, 59; Rev. DePayne Middleton-Doctor, 49; Hon. Rev. Clementa Pinckney, 41; Tywanza Sanders, 26, and Rev. Daniel Simmons Sr., 74. Roof is currently in jail in North Charleston.
Roof was arrested on Thursday about 245 miles away in Shelby, North Carolina. He confessed shortly after his capture. In addition to the nine murder counts, he was also charged with possession of firearm during a violent crime, court records show.
He had told police he "almost didn't go through with [the shooting] because everyone was so nice to him," sources told NBC News, saying that he ultimately decided to "go through with his mission."
"This is an absolute hate crime, " South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley told NBC's Today show. "We absolutely will want him to have the death penalty."

False Alarm at JFK Airport Reinforces Need for Enhanced Security Measures
NEW YORK – The American Alliance of Airport Police Officers (AAAPO) is relieved that the events that unfolded at JFK Airport on Sunday, August 14th appear to be no more than a false alarm; however, they highlight, once again, that airports continue to be vulnerable to attack. Terrorists and those seeking to cause maximum damage and harm have repeatedly proven this, and the AAAPO reiterates its calls for reasonable measures to be taken in order to protect the traveling public.
This incident immediately brought to mind the airport attacks in Brussels and Istanbul, reminding us that terrorist attacks can take place here in the United States.
In the confusion of the incident at JFK, and as travelers scrambled throughout the airport, rank-and-file officers only had access to two live security cameras at Terminal 8 and neither of them are located in the areas that needed to be searched. In fact, most airports do not have a unified, live camera system accessible by airport police, but instead have a fractured camera system in which tenants, vendors, TSA and others can deny access to law enforcement. In instances like the one this past Sunday, surveillance cameras can be key to identifying the source of confusion, or possible suspects and accomplices.
AAAPO has called on TSA to require any entity with a closed circuit camera system at an airport to provide real-time access to airport police. This would allow police officers to have eyes in all locations across the airport, and would be an essential part in keeping those we have sworn to protect safe.
Furthermore, during the JFK incident, passengers rushed through security clearance unchecked, as TSA was overwhelmed and no airport police were specifically assigned near the screening area. It is not unimaginable that someone could have initiated a false alarm (or two this day) to determine what type of security exists at the TSA screening area and/or someone with ill intent could have rushed past the TSA screening checkpoint during the chaos of this incident in order to gain direct access to the sterile side of the airport, and to awaiting planes, which could have serious consequences.
Our airports need an armed law enforcement officer stationed near the TSA screening area. In this regard, the AAAPO has advocated for the passage of HR 5720, which calls for an armed law enforcement officer to be located within 300 feet of the TSA security checkpoint. Having an armed officer near the screening area will serve as a strong deterrent, help prevent anyone from breaching the checkpoint and will help to mitigate any law enforcement situation that may arise, ultimately protecting TSA, travelers and our airports.
"We've seen the scenario played time and time again—terrorists and gunmen targeting airports. It happened here at LAX in November 2013. People were injured and the shooter got far enough to access a plane because we did not have an officer at screening and did not have eyes on the shooter as he passed through the ENTIRE terminal," said Marshall McClain, President of the Los Angeles Airport Peace Officers Association, and co-founder of the AAAPO. "Thank God, the JFK incident was not an actual active shooter situation, but there is no doubt in my mind that if it were, having an armed officer within 300 feet of the screening checkpoint and camera access would have been an effective means to thwart the attack."
"Firstly, I want to commend the response and actions the officers took on Sunday when we received the initial reports of shots fired in Terminal 8 at JFK. The officers performed in text book fashion as they are trained to do and also prevented the situation from escalating," said Paul Nunziato, President of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, and co-founder of the AAAPO. "While this threat was apparently not real, it again reinforces that an armed officer must be stationed near the screening area, and that officers must have real-time feeds of all airport cameras, in order to help better protect travelers and secure our airports."

So is there any way-however imperfect-to turn them back to paths?


Antisemitism decreases in Europe; Abe Foxman confused. The JTA's Toby Axelrod reports on an ADL survey of Europeans that shows a significant decrease in antisemitism. At the same time, anti-Israel feeling increased. Abe Foxman, while hailing European governments that have worked to differentiate Israel from Jews, fails to do so himself and continues to equate the two.

Fear and loathing on the campaign trail, July 2008
By hYZ4z7 | January 27, 2017
July 2008 on the campaign trail will be remembered prominently for what people close to the campaign opined about the election. On both sides of the aisle a former presidential candidate made a statement demonized by the media. The media's coverage of the election was scrutinized by the media itself and became an issue that even the candidates discussed on the trail. The trends of the previous months were continued as another third party candidate rose and another influential election journalist (Tony Snow) died.
Barack Obama's shift to the political center in light of his liberal backing was documented by the media. It was noted that Obama had stated that he agreed with Republicans in backing a bill granting immunity to telecommunication businesses that participated in surveillance of terrorists and recognized that he agreed with the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision split upon ideological lines to lift the hand gun ban in Washington D.C. The move was also supported by Obama's remarks that he would "refine" his positions on the war in Iraq.
Former Democratic presidential candidate Jesse Jackson stated in an interview during a commercial break that he believed Barack Obama was "talking down to black people" and that he would like to "cut his nuts out." The comments were in response to Barack Obama's comments that "Any fool can have a child. That doesn't make you a father." Jackson apologized to Obama and the campaign's spokesman stated that Obama "of course accepts Reverend Jackson's apology."
New Yorker magazine set off a firestorm of controversy when it released its July 21 edition with a cover portraying Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as Islamic extremists. The publication claimed the cover was a satirical representation of rumors floating that Obama is secretly Muslim but both the Obama and McCain campaigns criticized the cover as "tasteless and offensive."
Obama visited the Middle East and Europe later in the month on a Senatorial "fact finding" mission with fellow Senators Chuck Hagel and Jack Reed. Obama met with world leaders and discussed the American strategy in Iraq with General David Petraeus and drew large crowds including 200,000 at an event in Berlin. During the trip Obama articulated his support for an increase in the American forces in Afghanistan. The trip received an abundance of media coverage and was followed by anchors from America's top news networks.
Virginia governor Tim Kaine emerged as the frontrunner for the Vice-presidential nomination for the Democratic Party according to sources within the Obama campaign. The source stated that Kaine "ranks very, very high on the shortlist" along with Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana, Senator Joe Biden of Delaware and Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius.
Former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney of Georgia won the nomination of the Green Party at the party's convention in Chicago. After winning the nomination McKinney proclaimed that "A vote for the Green Party is a vote for the movement that will turn this country right-side-up again." She is a vocal critic of the Bush administration suggesting that it covered up information regarding the 9/11 attacks. McKinney selected hip hop artist and Green activist Rosa Clemente as her running mate.
Libertarian Party nominee Bob Barr reached 10% in a Zogby poll conducted in New Hampshire in July although Barr had not yet reached the number of signatures required to be included on the ballot in the state. Barr emphasized the promising results while campaigning and stated that he will continue his fight to be included on the ballot in all 50 states.
Comments made by Bob Barr that the government "has to do something" to help Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in light of the 2008 GSE support plan were instantly criticized by presidential candidate Charles Jay of the little known Boston Tea Party. Jay gained some media attention by claiming that Barr was wrong describing him as a "dixiecrat" and stating that the government should "let free markets flow." Jay's comments are representative of some Libertarian dissatisfaction with Barr, which fractured the Convention in May.
Similar to the previous summer, John McCain reshuffled his campaign staff: the biggest move being his replacement of campaign manager Rick Davis with Karl Rove's associate Steve Schmidt as the controller of campaign operations. The moves gave indications of a possible upheaval in the campaign but these charges were denied by advisor Carly Fiorina who stated that McCain was simply "ramping up" his campaign. It was also revealed that McCain planned to release a series of advertisements aimed at voters in the midwest.
Economic advisor for John McCain, former Senator Phil Gramm stated that America was a nation of "whiners" who are in a state of "mental recession." McCain countered that he "strongly disagree[d]" with the statements and that "Phil Gramm does not speak for me. I speak for me." After months of being touted as a possible Treasury Secretary in a McCain administration, when asked what role Gramm might play in light of his recent comments McCain remarked that he "would be in serious consideration for ambassador to Belarus, although I'm not sure the citizens of Minsk would welcome that."
John McCain criticized Barack Obama for his position on Iraq as the Democratic candidate visited the nation. He stated that Obama was wrong for formulating a plan for the future of the nation before assessing the conditions on the ground. In an interview with Katie Couric, McCain stated that he "would much rather lose a campaign than lose a war. Senator Obama has indicated that by his failure to acknowledge the success of the surge [in Iraq], that he would rather lose a war than lose a campaign."
Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal announced on Fox News that he's "got the job [he] want[s]" and that he's "not going to be the vice presidential nominee" although insiders stated that Jindal would take the job if asked. This came as McCain praised Jindal and Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty as "the future of the Republican Party." The two along with Florida governor Charlie Crist and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney are said to be the top prospects to be McCain's running mate.
McCain released an ad late in July that gave his campaign more media exposure. The ad described Obama as "the biggest celebrity in the world" and compared the Senator to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. It was later reported that at the end of the month McCain was a "significant or dominant factor" in 74% of campaign coverage compared to 81% for Obama, perhaps as a result of the new ad.

7.0 magnitude earthquake strikes off Haitian coast
A 7.0 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of Haiti earlier today at 21:53 UTC, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS). According to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, no tsunami warning was issued, contradicting some media reports that said there was one in place. The quake's magnitude was revised down from an initial report of 7.3 on the Richter scale.
"A destructive widespread tsunami threat does not exist based on historical earthquake and tsunami data," the US Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said. "However, there is the possibility of a local tsunami that could affect coasts located usually no more than a 100 km [60 miles] from the earthquake epicentre."
The USGS reports that the epicentre was fifteen kilometres (ten miles) southwest of Port-au-Prince and 1,140 kilometers (708 miles) southeast of Miami, Florida, at a depth of ten kilometres.
According to USGS analyst Dale Grant, this tremor was "the largest quake recorded in this area"; the last strong quake was in 1984, and had a magnitude of 6.7, he noted.
Are you in the area? Did you feel the earthquake?
Add or view comments
"Everybody is just totally, totally freaked out and shaken. The sky is just gray with dust," said Henry Bahn, an official with the US Department of Agriculture who was visiting in Haiti and a witness to the incident. "I just held on and bounced across the wall. I just hear a tremendous amount of noise and shouting and screaming in the distance," he commented, as quoted by the Associated Press.
According to data from the USGS, there were thirteen aftershocks after the initial tremors, the strongest of which was 5.9 on the Richter scale; seven others measured in at 5.0 or higher – all the aftershocks were 4.0 or greater.
No deaths have yet been reported, but a hospital in Port-au-Prince was damaged, and a US government official said several houses fell into a ravine. An analyst for USGS in Colorado commented that there could be many deaths from an earthquake of this strength. "I think we are going to see substantial damage and casualties," he said.
The USGS's Mike Blanpied remarked that about three million people were impacted by the earthquake, given its location. "This quake occurred under land as opposed to off-shore, so a lot of people were directly exposed to the shaking coming off that earthquake fault, which was quite shallow," he said.
A lack of communications makes it difficult to ascertain what damage was done. US embassy personnel were "literally in the dark" due to power failures, said State Department spokesman P. J. Crowley. "They reported structures down. They reported a lot of walls down. They did see a number of bodies in the street and on the sidewalk that had been hit by debris. So clearly, there's going to be serious loss of life in this," he said, as quoted by AP. A reporter for Reuters said he had seen "dozens of dead and injured people" amidst collapsed buildings.
"We are trying to get in touch with our people on the ground but we are experiencing communication problems, which is not unusual in a disaster such as this," said United Nations spokeswoman Stephanie Bunker to Agence France-Presse.
So clearly, there's going to be serious loss of life in this.
Appeals for aid flooded in following the disaster. In a phone call to CNN, the Haitian ambassador to the US, Raymond Joseph, said: "I'm calling on all friends of Haiti and people who are listening to me to please come to our aid. Today as Haiti is going through the worst day in its history I am calling for all others who got help from us in the beginning to help in support. The only thing I can do now is pray and hope for the best."
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton promised that her country would also provide assistance to Haitians. "The United States is offering our full assistance to Haiti and to others in the region. We will be providing both civilian and military disaster relief and humanitarian assistance and our prayers are with the people who have suffered, their families and their loved ones."
President Barack Obama also said that the country would be "ready to assist" Haiti.
Land Surveyors And Surveying Solutions
Marlin Wise
A single these technologies employed is world wide positioning satellites (GPS). GPS surveys afford amazingly detailed and precise mapping to come about, which identifies current structures, boundaries and the topography of the natural environment becoming able to be performed over a extensive region. This is most ideal for huge places of business development or defining boundaries on big tracts of land, this sort of as farms and agricultural operations.
Added services from experienced land surveyors incorporate a approach of \'setting out\'. This is exactly where the land surveyors coordinate with the creating contractors to map out just where by the foreseeable future buildings are to be located. This mapping info is then passed onto groundwork contractors, who are empowered with the precise information pertaining to the preparation of the website.
How does the land all around us become developed? Who are the folks that assist strategy how the land is shifted to create subdivisions, streets and business complexes? People men and women are land surveyors. They are accountable for working with engineers, architects and builders to map out in depth the land surfaces. Maps and surveys arrive from land surveyor\'s detailed perform in defining boundaries dependent on the Earths physical functions and as they change it is up to the land surveyor to adjust their perform.
The historical past of a vocation is often anything of fantastic fascination to me. Did you know that 3 of the Mount Rushmore presidents started out their careers in the area as surveyors? That should say something about what the subject of surveying teaches a particular person. You have to be in depth, math and technologically orientated and get pleasure from the outside the house.
The westward settlement of our good nation was due to the surveying and exploration that was documented and offered to President Jefferson by Lewis and Clark. The Louisiana Buy arrived about mainly because of the specific documentation by means of reports, maps and info selection, in any other case land surveying that early explorers accomplished. This is also how the creation of our initial railway system arrived about. Can you envision developing a railway by means of undefined territory? It would be like a blind card match wherever you are just hoping the land functions play in to your style. With land surveyors you never have to fear about luck.
Not only do land surveyors work in the subject to just take measurements of the land they also can perform in offices drawing up maps, interpreting information and giving skilled unbiased opinions about land boundaries. When in the industry surveyors surround by themselves with engineering these kinds of as GPS programs, a few d scanners and electronic media to assistance outline the land in conditions that can then be place in to document form for true estate, builders and all types of customers who will use their knowledge. Gauging and plotting the Earth and its surface by means of present technologies and application is the major goal for land surveyors.
What are the rewards of a job in this field? Very first in an economy that people are scavenging for reliable work careers in land surveying are thriving. Not only are they necessary in the manifeste and private sectors of life but our authorities also maintain these positions in best regards.

Lemoine Suggests: investigations from a Wikimedia Foundation news leak/Email Sue Gardner Jan 5, 2008 4:15 AM
From: Sue Gardner <edited> Date: Jan 5, 2008 4:15 AM Subject: Thanks re Wikipedia meeting, & next steps To: Jonathan Schwartz <edited>, Greg Papadopoulos <edited> Cc: Roger McNamee <edited>, Erik Möller <edited>
Hi Jonathan & Greg,
This is just a quick note to say thanks so much for meeting with Roger, Erik & me in December. We really appreciate it – hope you both had good holidays afterwards.
In the meeting, we talked about the possibility of Sun making a major contribution to Wikimedia's hosting, so that you could reinforce your position as open source leaders by association with us in your marketing. We think this makes sense, and would love to make it work.
Next steps. Erik will pull together a wishlist, which we will send to you by the end of January – let's say January 28. The list will likely come in two versions: one focusing on our immediate needs and our preferences in terms of hardware and software, and one laying out a "Wikimedia runs on Sun" scenario in which we fully switch over, with your help, to an integrated Sun environment. They will target different scales, let's say about $1M in hardware vs. $5M in hardware/software/support.
Please let us know if any of this is contrary to what you remember, or if you want us to refine/revise anything. Otherwise, you'll hear from us in about three weeks.
Thanks, Sue

Essential Items You Should Bring Along During An Evacuation

Even without reading a survival guide, you might have been hearing a great deal about survival bags and bug out kits lately. The truth is, the more news of accidents and calamities happening all over the world, the more people are finding out about these survival bags. Emergency bags are meant for hectic situations, or in scenarios wherein there is no time to think and even less time to gather all the things you need to evacuate to a safer place. Some people like to keep these kits near the entrance or inside the vehicle so that they're ready to evacuate at any time.
Tips for Making Your Survival Kit
1. Light and Heat Resources
You must always suppose that you will not have a constant supply of electricity if you move out of your home because of a natural calamity. With this in mind, you can come up with various plans to provide yourself with lighting and heating supplies. Get battery-operated lamps, water-resistant matches and flint. Keep the batteries and matches in waterproof plastic containers.
2. Ponchos, Jackets and a Change of Clothing
Garments that shelter you from the elements are great to pack in your survival kits. These pieces of clothing should have the capacity to protect you from the cold and from rain, and can double as pillows when the weather is warm. You must never forget to include a change of clothing, particularly socks and underwear. Wrap your clothing in rainproof plastic to keep them dry.
Wear neon colored clothing like those that bikers wear to be more detectable to motorists. If you're evacuating on foot, these are important for your welfare.
3. Provisions and Water
It is suggested to include an unopened bottle of distilled water inside the kit for individual use. But if you're fleeing from danger with your family, the one who can carry more should lug a gallon or two of distilled water for the whole family to drink. Power drinks are not recommended as they are diuretics.
Trail mix and power bars are excellent as emergency food. Anything that will keep well without refrigeration and small enough to fit inside the kit can be used.
4. Temporary shelter
Whether it's a small umbrella or a tarp for two individuals, make sure you have something that will defend you from precipitation and cold just in case you need to sleep out in the open. Waterproof tents are recommended for this purpose. You can spray your tarpaulin with silicon to provide more lasting power and toughness. Small raincoats can be added into the bags meant for children, while bigger tarpaulins can be carried by teenagers.
5. Knife for Cutting
A jungle knife is required for cutting rope, opening canned food and for self-protection. It is also needed for making fire when you are utilizing flint instead of matches. Grown-ups should be the ones to carry knives in their bags.
6. First Aid Bag
The basic first aid kit includes remedies for severe headaches, tummy aches and for treating wounds. You should also stock up on bandages and cotton balls. Have a splint ready just in case a person slips and breaks a bone. Your first aid kit should also include anti-hypersensitivity pills if one person in your family is allergic to dust or other pollutants. Medicines for high blood pressure should be added into your first aid kit if a person is suffering from hypertension in your family. The same goes for other conditions that need maintenance tablets.

CN Health & Safety Plan planned to be cancelled
On July 18, 2005 CN Rail notified the CAW that they intend to cancel the CN-CAW previously Negotiated Health & Safety Plan. The CAW will be going to arbitration this fall to address the issue. The CAW has asked that employees notify their Health and Safety Rep about any safety concerns at the work place.
One terminal has lost 5-6 full-time positions. CN Rail used to have part-time positions filled as well, but at this time there are no part-time employees to cover work if a full-time employee is absent. Overtime is necessary to keep the trains running on time. Intermodal traffic goes up, but staff goes down. CN Rail expects the trains to go out on time, and in a safe condition, but staff is overworked, because there are not enough of them. In fact, one worker noticed that most of the rail cars that contained 40 foot overseas containers did not have their loading guides in place. Trains are not allowed to go out without these guides placed into the cars (the guides stop the loads from swaying from side to side in the cars), important for safety with double stacked containers, but it seems that in this case the lack of employees forced the train to leave without them.
Some recent derailments have come to the attention of the media and politicians.
On August 3rd 2005 there was a derailment in Wabamun Lake Alberta that spilled toxins into the lake. 2 days later there was a derailment in Cheakamus River near Squamish BC. Both derailments spilled hazardous materials into the water. Many are saying that CN took too long to notify people of the toxic spills.
The Conductor on each train carries with him the shipping manifest with him and has access to that information at all times. Almost any CN terminal that has a clerk working at it with access to the CN Intranet can get this information within minutes.
CTV news has said that this is the 5th derailment for CN this month.

The 10 Best Men's March Madness Performances of All Time
Joel Reuter@JoelReuterBRTwitter LogoFeatured ColumnistMarch 30, 2019
Mitchell Layton/Getty Images
Narrowing down the greatest performances in March Madness history to just 10 players is a tall order.
From the legends of yesterday such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton to more recent hero turns from Carmelo Anthony and Kemba Walker, the field of candidates is vast. In order to narrow the focus, we stuck exclusively to players whose impressive tournament performances culminated in a national championship.
After all, how good is an individual run if it doesn't help achieve the ultimate goal?
That was the only stipulation, though statistics and a player's impact on his team's success served as the biggest factors for our final selections.
Let's get to it.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, UCLA, 1968
Stats: 25.8 PPG, 18.8 RPG, 66.1 FG%
In his three seasons at UCLA, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (then going by Lew Alcindor before changing his name in 1971) led the Bruins to three national championships and won three Most Outstanding Player awards.
His March Madness performances could have occupied three separate spots on this list. In the interest of space, we settled for highlighting his best—the 1968 tournament.
Here's a look at each of his stat lines:
1967: 26.5 PPG, 15.5 RPG, 65.0 FG%, 20 PTS in title game
Abdul-Jabbar was a true man among boys.
Carmelo Anthony, Syracuse, 2003
BILL KOSTROUN/Associated Press
Stats: 20.2 PPG, 9.8 RPG, 2.5 APG, 47.5 FG%
Syracuse began the 2002-03 season unranked after it lost leading scorer Preston Shumpert and point guard DeShaun Williams from a team that went 23-13 and failed to make the NCAA tournament.
In fact, the Orange didn't even enter the AP rankings until Jan. 14, using a 10-1 stretch to close out the regular season to earn a No. 3 seed.
Anthony averaged 17.0 points through the first four games of the tournament—solid, but a bit lackluster compared to the 22.2 he averaged during the regular season.
Then he exploded for 33 points and 14 rebounds against T.J. Ford and Texas in the Final Four.
He followed that up with a 20-point, 10-rebound, seven-assist showing against Kansas in the national title game to secure his place as one of the best freshmen in college basketball history.
The full body of work stands up as one of the most impressive performances in March Madness history.
Anthony Davis, 2012, Kentucky
David J. Phillip/Associated Press
Stats: 13.7 PPG, 12.3 RPG, 3.0 APG, 4.8 BPG, 51.0 FG%
Anthony Davis didn't need to score to make his presence felt for a stacked Kentucky team.
While he averaged a respectable 14.2 points per game during his one and only season with the Wildcats, it was his ability as a rim-protector and rebounder that made him one of the most effective players college basketball has ever seen.
He began the NCAA tournament with 16 points and seven blocks against No. 16 seed Western Kentucky and never looked back.
Even when he shot a miserable 1-for-10 from the floor in the national championship game, he still made his mark with 16 rebounds, six blocks, five assists and three steals.
It was one of the most dominant performances you'll ever see from a player who failed to score in double figures.
Magic Johnson, Michigan State, 1979
Anonymous/Associated Press
Stats: 21.8 PPG, 8.8 RPG, 10.0 APG, 52.3 FG%
After reaching the Elite Eight as a freshman, Magic Johnson returned to Michigan State for his sophomore season and led the Spartans to a national title.
He kicked off an impressive tournament run with a 13-point, 17-rebound, 10-assist game against Lamar and recorded another triple-double with a 29-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist performance against Penn in the Final Four.
The 1979 tournament will always be remembered for one thing, though.
Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird.
The two met in the national title game, and Magic came out on top, scoring 24 points and chipping in a modest seven rebounds and five assists in the Spartans' 75-64 victory over Indiana State.
Christian Laettner, Duke, 1992
Eric Risberg/Associated Press
Stats: 19.2 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 2.2 SPG, 55.7 FG%
Christian Laettner didn't even win Most Outstanding Player during the 1992 NCAA tournament.
That honor went to teammate Bobby Hurley.
However, Duke wouldn't have got to the Final Four without Laettner. His performance against Kentucky in the Elite Eight is the stuff of legend.
In a hard-fought overtime game that many consider the best in college basketball history, Laettner shot a perfect 10-of-10 from the floor and 10-of-10 from the free throw line for 31 points in 43 minutes of action.
The final made basket is as iconic as they come. We've all seen it countless times. The full-court heave from Grant Hill, the back-to-the-basket catch at the free-throw line, the buried turnaround jumper as time expired.
After scoring just eight points in the Final Four matchup with Indiana, Laettner netted a team-high 19 against Michigan's "Fab Five" in the title game to give the Blue Devils back-to-back national championships.
Danny Manning, Kansas, 1988
Uncredited/Associated Press
Stats: 27.2 PPG, 9.3 RPG, 2.3 BPG, 55.2 FG%
A three-time Big 8 Player of the Year, Danny Manning capped off his four-year career at Kansas in style.
While Manning had a stellar senior campaign, the Jayhawks went a disappointing 21-11 during the regular season, including a four-game losing streak in January.
They entered the NCAA tournament as a No. 6 seed and unranked in the AP poll.
It didn't matter where they were seeded. Manning went on arguably the most impressive run in March Madness history to beat long odds and bring home a title:
vs. Xavier: 24 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks
vs. Murray St.: 25 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block
vs. Vanderbilt: 38 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block
vs. Kansas St.: 20 points, 6 rebounds, 1 block
vs. Duke: 25 points, 10 rebounds, 6 blocks
vs. Oklahoma: 31 points, 18 rebounds, 2 blocks
The same Oklahoma team they upended in the championship game had beaten them twice during the regular season.
Manning went No. 1 overall in the draft that year, and his legacy as one of the best players in CBB history lives on to this day.
Ed O'Bannon, UCLA, 1995
Stephen Dunn/Getty Images
Ed O'Bannon is best known today for challenging the NCAA in a class action lawsuit over the use of his likeness for commercial purposes.
In his playing days, he was one of the best college basketball players of his era.
In 1995, the senior forward led UCLA to its first national championship since the 1974-75 season, which marked the end of the John Wooden era.
On a team that featured six future NBA players, O'Bannon was the unquestioned star.
The Bruins lost just two games all season, and after surviving a scare against No. 8 seed Missouri in the second round, they rolled to the national championship game.
O'Bannon averaged 17.0 points and 7.4 rebounds through the first five games of the tournament, but he had yet to truly go off.
Squaring off against second-team All-American Corliss Williamson and Arkansas in the national championship game, O'Bannon exploded for 30 points and 17 rebounds as UCLA walked away with an 89-78 victory.
UCLA has not won a title since.
Glen Rice, Michigan, 1989
Getty Images/Getty Images
Trivia question: Who holds the record for most points scored in a single NCAA tournament?
If you guessed anyone but Glen Rice, context clues are not a strong suit.
The Michigan star poured in 184 points during the Wolverines' six-game run to the national title in 1989. The closest anyone has come to that total since is 155 from Maryland guard Juan Dixon in 2002.
Rice averaged 25.6 points per game during his senior season, connecting on 99 three-pointers at an absurd 51.6 percent clip.
It was more of the same during March Madness.
He scored at least 23 points in each of the team's six games, including 36 against South Alabama in the second round and 34 against North Carolina in the Sweet 16, when he shot 8-of-12 from beyond the arc.
The Wolverines needed every one of his 31 points and 11 rebounds during the national championship game, as they squeezed out an 80-79 victory over Seton Hall.
Kemba Walker, Connecticut, 2011
There might be no single player in college basketball history who played a bigger role in his team's national championship triumph than Kemba Walker.
After posting a 9-9 record in conference play, UConn entered the Big East tournament as the No. 9 seed.
The Huskies ran the table, winning five games in five days with Walker averaging 26 points and 38 minutes per game.
That was enough to pull them up to a No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament, but they were still far from favorites to make a serious run.
But the Huskies just kept winning, and Walker just kept producing.
When all was said and done, UConn had won 11 games in 28 days.
Walker averaged 23.5 points and played all but nine minutes during the NCAA tournament.
Bill Walton, UCLA, 1973
Fred Jewell/Associated Press
Stats: 23.8 PPG, 14.5 RPG, 4.8 APG, 76.3 FG%
Bill Walton's time at UCLA didn't quite surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's, but it was awfully close.
Unlike Abdul-Jabbar, Walton won just two national championships during his three years on campus, as opposed to all three.
Still, the 6'11" big man was the driving force behind those two titles, and it came down to picking the best stat line:
1972: 20.0 PPG, 16.0 RPG, 68.3 FG%, 24 points in title game
Those 44 points against Memphis in the 1973 national championship game still stand as the single-game record with the title on the line.

This annual competition is a venue for the country's finest sommeliers to showcase their knowledge and skills in wine service in an international-format competition, which consists of a written, as well as a practical examination. It is open to both students and professionals in hotel, restaurant, bar and other F&B operations.
This year was Vatel Manila's first time to participate in the Philippine Sommelier Competition. Rios was joined by Franz Tionko, fellow third year International Hospitality Management (IHM) student, for the Junior Category. Both were trained by Mr. Eanglebert Guina, who also won first place in this year's Professional Category. Rios and Tionko trained with Guina in a span of just three days through a series of lectures and practical exercises on opening bottles, wine and food pairings.
Last May 7, Rios and Tionko competed against other participants from Enderun Colleges, a private management college located in Taguig City, Metro Manila. This year's judging panel was headed by Tommy Lam, president of the Asian Wine Institute, and Joe Sriwarin, president of the Thailand Sommelier Association. Joining them as guest judges were Manila-based wine experts Jay Labrador (The Wine Steward, Inc.), Isabel Lozano (MIL Consulting), and Julian Gagliardi (Happy Living Wines).
A written exam that lasted 45 minutes and a practical exam that centered on opening and serving a bottle of white wine for the judges as well as preparing a wine and food pairing garnered Rios the first place prize, with Enderun Colleges' Maria Carina Gonzales securing second place.
"It really challenges you," Rios said when asked how this experience has shaped his skills, knowledge, and mindset as a hotelier. "It does give you that edge on critical thinking and how meticulous you are when it comes to the minute details," he added.

In case you planning to take a road trip to any country, the first thing you should think about is the type of the car you going to use. It's always a good idea to make research or even ask the local tour operator about the conditions of the road you going to pass through before choose type of car to use on your safaris. It's always a good practice to settle on your own decision so you can get the best from your safari without any hustles caused by the vehicle you hired. Choosing the type of the vehicle to use on the safari depends on the type of tourism activities you willing to do and the number of people you are travelling with.
In some cases clients book small cars when they are many just because they have little money the thing which reduces on the enjoyment of your safari. We strongly recommend that if your more than 4 – 6 people, its better you book a bigger vehicle like a min van which can accommodate all of you and every one get a window seat so the you can watch clearly then you're in game drive in the park. Small cars like Rav4 and Coronas are appropriate to use if clients are 2 or 3 however not more than that as it would imply that you should squeeze yourselves.
The distance and destination you going to travel to are another important factor to think about when choose a vehicle to use on a safari. If you going to visit remote destinations for example to Kidepo Valley National Park in the northeastern corner of Uganda where the roads are not in good conditions and weather is unpredictable, its recommended that you opt for a strong 4×4 safari vehicle which can penetrate through rough and muddy roads without getting stuck. But in case you just going to be travelling around city and towns, a small vehicle like a Toyota Rav4 can be appropriate for you and even you can save some money instead of hiring a strong land cruiser when you're just going to be driving around the city where you don't need to apply any 4wheel drive system. Your safari can turn in a nightmare in case you choose a wrong vehicle to travel to a wrong destination, I don't think you can like it to get stuck in a muddy road the thing which may need to employ another towing vehicle to bring you out of the mud and another thing you will waste a lot of time there and you may even miss some tour activities.
When hiring a vehicle from Rental Cars Uganda Ltd, they always ask you for the reason why you need the car so that they can advice you on the type on the car that can work for you better according to reason why you need the car. Some clients appear to be entangled and overlook our recommendations because they think roads in Uganda are like those from their home country and they end up making mistake which are lamentable. And towards the end of the safari they regret why they neglected our advices.
All in all, the main factors you should consider before booking a car to use on a safari to Uganda are; the number of people you travelling with and the destination you going to travel to.

What is Carters Kids
Carter Oosterhouse builds, dedicates playground
Youngsters have a new place to play in Elmwood Township. A nautically themed playground, part of the revamped Greilickville Harbor Park, was dedicated Saturday with the help of Traverse City native and host of HGTV's "Carter Can," Carter Oosterhouse.
Families celebrated the opening of the new play area with a picnic lunch, face painting, balloon twisting demonstrations and posing for pictures with Oosterhouse while sand sculptor Ray Villafane created a massive aquatic scene on the beach.
Oosterhouse's nonprofit foundation, Carter's Kids, was instrumental in building the new playground, replacing the former play area where Oosterhouse says he played as a kid.
"I loved playing here when we were little kids. Coming back for this project has been a fantastic opportunity for me to give back to Traverse," said Oosterhouse, whose group travels around the country building playgrounds, mostly in low income areas, to help keep kids active while fighting childhood obesity.
"Once we found out about this project, it all came together very quickly," said Oosterhouse, noting that donations from the Ken and Faye Shaw family and the Art and Mary Schmuckal Foundation made the playground a reality.
Charter Township of Elmwood supervisor Jack Kelly said that until the township received donations totalling $45,000, prospects for a state of the art playground were slim.
"The reality of the situation was that we did not expect to be in a position to install any new playground equipment on site, except for perhaps a set of swings, until next year at the earliest," Kelly said.
Instead, the playground complex now includes areas to climb, slide, spin and swing.
"My kids just love it here; we already have plans to come back tomorrow for a party," said Shelly Stanton, of Elmwood Township, while watching her 3- and 5-year-old daughters play.
In addition to the playground area, the park features improved beach access, a promenade and new picnic pavilions with restroom facilities made possible with grants from the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, the Kellogg Foundation and Rotary Charities of Traverse City. A formal park dedication and ribbon cutting are planned for 11 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 28.
Plans for a second set of bathrooms and a bridge linking the park with adjacent Traverse City Light & Power property are planned for next spring.
Carter &, Dwyane Wade Refurbish Boys & Girls Club In Dallas
Last weekend, HGTV host Carter Oosterhouse stood in a Dallas gymnasium and got to announce the arrival of superstar Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade. While not one of their hometown players, Wade was in town for the NBA's All-Star weekend, and the duo received cheers not only for their on-camera talents, but for the time they were committing to the Turnkey Boys & Girls Club of southern Dallas.
Oosterhouse's nonprofit organization Carter's Kids works to promote fitness and self-esteem to young people. With much of the nation's focus on the childhood obesity epidemic, America's Boys & Girls Clubs need added attention to encourage healthy, active lifestyles.
"The Boys & Girls Clubs do wonderful things," Oosterhouse said. "[The Turnkey Boys & Girls Club] is the oldest in Dallas. It had seen better days."
Carter's Kids, along with the Wade's World Foundation — Dwyane Wade's nonprofit entity — completely refurbished the club, built a new playground, repainted the gym walls and added new lights, in what they called The Big Assist.
"The reaction was amazing," Oosterhouse said. "That's why I started Carter's Kids. When you get that natural response that only kids can give, it's so worthwhile. They were so excited to see [Dwyane Wade]. They felt it was really cool that people were reaching out and supporting them."
The Wade's World Foundation supports education and health for at-risk children through local programs. Wade has said his goal is to leave the world better than he found it, based on his mother's encouragement that life is bigger than basketball.
Oosterhouse agrees that community-based involvement is where to start.
"I definitely think you have to be local first," he said. "Whatever you can do, whether it's your local school or a local Boys & Girls Club. There's the front line of trying to attack this problem and curb childhood obesity."
You can contribute to either the Wade's World Foundation or to Carter's Kids to further these charitable efforts.
Carter's Kids in New Orleans
On October 24th, 2008, Carter's Kids visited the Kids of Excellence Child Care Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. With contributions from Nautica Fragrances, we were able to help rebuild the day-care center's playground; we also donated toys to the children at the school. This was our first venture in Louisiana, and everyone had a great time.
Carter's Kids in Miami
On October 10th, 2008, more than 500 volunteers gathered for the United Way's "Day of Caring" to paint a mural celebrating the new day-care center at the Hispanic Unity of Florida. With help from Nautica Fragrances, Macy's, and the United Way, we helped refurbish the playground. We also donated several items to the facility, including tricycles, basketball hoops, fitness toys, slides, and a balance beam. The children were very excited about their newly renovated playground!

Q: React component not getting latest redux state values I'm having an issue with a React Native application that uses Redux, and I've struggling to figure out the cause.
When the Redux state is changed by a dispatch in component A, component B doesn't show the most up to date value of the Redux state. For example, say I click a button in component A to change a Redux value from 0 to 1, it will show 0 in component B, but when I click the button to add 1 to make it 2, component B will show 1. Below is an example of my code. When I click on the TouchableOpacity in component A, it should change this.props.screen from 1 (the initial state) to 0. In component B, I have a regular console.log of this.props.screen, and a console.log inside a setTimeout with 50 milliseconds. Inside the console, the console.log in the setTimeout has the correct value of 0 when hit, however the one outside it still shows 1. Similarly, the text rendered in component B will show 1 as well. If I click the button again, it will then show 0.
I've included the relevant action and reducer from my code. At first, I thought it might be a mutation, but it seemed that can only happen with objects and arrays (I'm only using a number). I would appreciate some help figuring out how to have the text rendered in component B reflect the most current value. Thanks in advance!
Component A
    import { connect } from "react-redux";
    import { setScreen } from "../redux/Actions";

    class Header extends Component {

      componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps){
        setTimeout(() => { this.logoHide() },10);
        this.props.scrollLocation < 10 ? this.changeTransparency(0) : this.changeTransparency(.9);
      }

      setScreen(screen){
        this.props.setScreen(screen);
      }

      render() {

        var {height, width} = Dimensions.get('window');

        return (
          <View>
              <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => this.setScreen(0)}>
                <Text>Click Me</Text>
              </TouchableOpacity>
          </View>
        );
      }
    }
const mapStateToProps = state => {
  return {
    height: state.height,
    platform: state.platform,
    screen: state.screen,
    scrollLocation: state.scrollLocation
  };
};

const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => {
  return {
    setScreen: (value) => dispatch(setScreen(value))
  };
};

export default connect(mapStateToProps,mapDispatchToProps)(Header);

Redux Action
import { SET_SCREEN } from './Constants';
    export const setScreenDispatcher = (value) => ({ type: SET_SCREEN, screen: value});
    export const setScreen = (value) => {
        return (dispatch) => {
            dispatch(setScreenDispatcher(value));
        }
    }

Redux Reducer
import { combineReducers } from 'redux';
import { SET_SCREEN } from "./Constants";

const initialState = []

const screen = (state = 1, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case SET_SCREEN:
      return action.screen;
    default:
      return state;
  }
};

// COMBINE REDUCERS //
export default combineReducers({
  screen
});

Component B
import { connect } from "react-redux";

class VisibleMenus extends Component {

componentWillUpdate(){
    console.log(this.props.screen);
    setTimeout(() => {console.log(this.props.screen)},50);
    }
  }
 render() {

    return (
      <View>
    <Text>{this.props.screen}</Text>
 </View>
    );
  }
}
const mapStateToProps = state => {
  return {
    screen: state.screen
  };
};

const mapDispatchToProps = dispatch => {
  return {

  };
};

export default connect(mapStateToProps,mapDispatchToProps)(VisibleMenus);

App.js
import React, {Component} from 'react';

import { Provider } from "react-redux";

import VisibleMenus from './VisibleMenus';

import { Store } from "./redux/Store";

const store = Store();

export default class App extends Component {

  render() {

    return (

      <Provider store={store}>

        <VisibleMenus />

      </Provider>

    );

  }

}
Store.js
// REDUX STORE //

import { createStore, applyMiddleware } from "redux";

import rootReducer from "./Reducers";

import ReduxThunk from 'redux-thunk'

export const Store = (initialState) => {

    return createStore(

    rootReducer,

        initialState,

        applyMiddleware(ReduxThunk)

    );

}

A: For anyone who runs into this, I thought I'd share how I fixed it.
I researched mutations, and I definitely wasn't mutating the state, yet my components would not update when the Redux store changed.
I tried using both componentWillUpdate() and componentWillReceiveProps() but both didn't change anything. However, I was doing a comparison between this.props.screen and this.state.screen which ended up being my issue.
I should have been doing a comparison with nextProps.screen and this.state.screen inside a componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) which ended up fixing everything.
I do want to thank Hashith for his help.

Flashback: 5 Times Obama Administration Leaked Classified Information
ENNY NURAHENI/AFP/Getty Images
Let us take a look back at five times former President Barack Obama leaked classified information, without a peep of protest from the media that are currently melting down over President Donald Trump's discussions with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
The Stuxnet virus: Marine Corps General James Cartwright was charged with leaking documents on the Stuxnet virus (a.k.a. Operation Olympic Games) to a New York Times reporter. Stuxnet is the virus that temporarily disabled Iran's nuclear weapons program in 2010.
Cartwright was further charged with giving false testimony to FBI agents who investigated the leak. He eventually pleaded guilty to the leak, and President Obama pardoned him on his way out of the Oval Office in 2017. The media did not seem upset about this at all.
Obama's fans in newsrooms across the country knew Cartwright as "Obama's general." Foreign Policy noted he was "beloved in the White House for a host of unpopular opinions that cut against the grain of military orthodoxy," such as opposing the Afghanistan troop surge and the F-22 fighter jet. He certainly was not leaking about Stuxnet to hurt the president. On the contrary, he had been authorized to speak to the press on the matter because Stuxnet was something Obama wanted to brag about.
It was not just Cartwright, either. The Washington Post had no trouble finding anonymous sources for a big story on Stuxnet in June 2012. Plugging those leaks to prevent the disclosure of national security secrets did not seem to be a priority for anyone involved.
Foreign Policy noted that the Obama administration "regularly leaks ostensibly classified information to the media" to suit its own purposes. There were even bipartisan complaints about it from Congress. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), who seems to have gained a jolt of credibility with the press for criticizing Trump, attracted little attention when he accused Obama of leaking Stuxnet information to win votes in the 2012 election.
For some strange reason, none of today's rock-ribbed defenders of classified intelligence in the media was upset about this behavior or sought to create a media narrative about how the Obama White House was a threat to national security.
The bin Laden raid: Obama and his mouthpieces fell all over themselves leaking details about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden to burnish the president's terrorism-fighting credentials. As Breitbart News senior editor Joel Pollak pointed out Wednesday, leaks about the bin Laden raid arguably ruined and ended lives – notably including Pakistani doctor Shakil Afridi, who provided invaluable assistance with locating the al-Qaeda mastermind and members of SEAL Team 6, who took him out.
When Hollywood came calling to tell the story of that raid, the Obama administration did not exactly slam the door in their faces. Leaks of sensitive material to the makers of the film Zero Dark Thirty became a major concern in Congress and the courts, although it was all a matter of mild interest at best to the media. The White House issued and later retracted false denials.
Today, the only controversy most of the media remember about Zero Dark Thirty is that the film inexcusably made it appear that enhanced interrogation techniques produced useful intelligence.
There was no grand strategy behind the bin Laden raid leaks, no diplomatic effort, no attempt to minimize the casualties from terrorism or secure enhanced cooperation against America's enemies. It was pure politics and spin, 100 percent about securing the re-election of Barack Obama.
Burning the CIA chief in Afghanistan: In 2014, the Obama White House accidentally revealed the name of the CIA station chief in Afghanistan.
Once again, it was all about spin and public relations, not vital national security strategy. President Obama was making a surprise Memorial Day visit to the troops in Afghanistan, so the White House blasted out a list of officials who would be present at the event to 6,000 people in the media. Some of the journalists who received the list of official names worked for foreign media organizations.
One of those officials happened to be the CIA station chief. When it realized the error, the White House had to scramble to ask media outlets not to divulge the name. PBS, which described the incident as an "embarrassing flub," noted that the White House had at least two opportunities to review the list of 15 officials scheduled to receive Obama in Afghanistan and notice that one of them was America's top intelligence official in the country.
Obama ordered U.S. agencies to share intelligence with communist Cuba: The media curiously seem to have forgotten Obama's parting order that sensitive U.S. intelligence must be shared with Cuba, even though it was only issued a few months ago.
This Obama action was orders of magnitude worse than anything President Trump could conceivably have mentioned to the Russian foreign minister about terrorism. Just to rub in how dangerous and misguided it was, the architect of Obama's disastrous nuclear deal with Iran, Ben Rhodes, was present at the signing ceremony. People who still had their wits about them noted that Cuba was very likely to share juicy American intelligence with Iran–as if Cuba's having the intel was not bad enough. Iran would be very interested in such information since it has ambitions in Latin America.
Obama's director of National Intelligence, James Clapper – who enjoys plenty of media attention when he criticizes the Trump administration – acknowledged that Cuba is still an active espionage threat, right up there with Iran, China, and Russia.
If the media were upset by any of this, they did most of their screaming into a paper bag.
Drone strikes and Obama's "kill list": The Hill recalls "three dozen current and former Obama administration officials" eagerly participating in a 2012 New York Times story about Obama's secret "kill list" of drone strike targets.
Obama's re-election campaign was quite interested in portraying him as tough on terrorism. Apparently, no one was troubled by the incongruity of a Nobel Peace Prize recipient who maintained a kill list. The New York Times did not even mention the Nobel in its story, instead portraying Obama as a troubled man of principle, balancing his humanitarian vision against the brutal necessities of the War on Terror.
The Media Research Center noted at the time that the mainstream media seemed completely unconcerned with the threat posed to national security by dozens of top officials divulging sensitive intelligence about drone strikes – not even when the Obama administration eventually claimed to be concerned about it. Critics also noted that the Obama administration was always eager to talk about leaks that created favorable media narratives, and while it frequently crusaded against whistleblowers, it never complained long about leaks it liked.
Supposedly bringing up the misdeeds of the Obama administration and the very different attitude the media displayed towards those misdeeds are sins of "whataboutism" – in other words, distracting from the Trump administration's problems by saying, "What about Obama?" That can be a fair criticism sometimes, but extreme anti-whataboutism is equally foolish, amounting to the belief that history began on January 20, 2017.
It does matter what the Obama administration did, and how the media covered it. Hypocrisy was not abolished the minute Donald Trump took office. Those who complain about "whataboutism" seem very comfortable with accusing Trump defenders of hypocrisy for forgetting they criticized Obama for certain things.
Americans have come to distrust the media because they understand media bias is not just about reporting complete falsehoods. It's about the stories that are not reported. It's about assembling distinct events into "narratives" or refusing to do so, depending on which party or politician is involved. It is about perspective and memory – which stories receive saturation coverage and which are forgotten at the earliest opportunity. Barack Obama's deeds do not erase Donald Trump's. The reverse is also true.

 Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals

 by
           Oliver Burkeman

 Read: Jan 8, 2022

I read this book after I had one friend really enjoy it and another one finding the audio book pretty insufferable. Which is an interesting combination to say the least. Overall I did enjoy the book a lot. Even though I could definitely see the preachy and more annoying parts of it. The general message of the books is that we don't actually have that many weeks, so it's worth it to think about how to spend them. What kind of things actually are enjoyable (of the things that we do voluntarily) and which things we can more or less do away with.

614 F.2d 75
Ronald E. STUCKEY, Petitioner-Appellant,
Leroy STYNCHCOMBE, Sheriff, Fulton County, Georgia, et al.,
Respondents- Appellees.
Summary Calendar.*
Fifth Circuit.
Eric Welch, Atlanta, Ga., for petitioner-appellant.
Joseph J. Drolet, Asst. Dist. Atty., Atlanta, Ga., for respondents-appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.
Before BROWN, TJOFLAT and FRANK M. JOHNSON, Jr., Circuit Judges.
FRANK M. JOHNSON, Jr., Circuit Judge:
This appeal from a denial of a habeas corpus petition challenges the validity of an action taken by a Georgia trial court to correct an illegal sentence. Ronald E. Stuckey pleaded guilty in the Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia, to armed robbery and aggravated assault. He was given a five year probated sentence, with the condition that he spend weekends in jail for the first six months of his sentence. The State challenged the sentence and the Georgia Court of Appeals held that the sentence was void because it was below the statutory minimum. See Ga.Code § 26-1902, as amended by Ga.L.1976.1 The Georgia Supreme Court denied certiorari. When the case was returned to the Fulton Superior Court, the trial court gave petitioner the opportunity to withdraw his guilty plea. Stuckey again pleaded guilty to the offense of armed robbery and the trial court sentenced him to eight years of imprisonment. Stuckey filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in federal district court in the Northern District of Georgia, challenging the imposition of the new sentence. The district court denied the petition. We affirm.
On appeal, Stuckey argues: (1) that the double jeopardy clause prohibits an increased sentence once a prisoner has begun serving his term; (2) that the trial court illegally increased the sentence on the basis of a subsequent, unrelated conviction; (3) that the State had no right to appeal the sentence but, if it did have such a right, the State waived any right it had by failing to object at the time of sentencing; and (4) that he is entitled to an evidentiary hearing based on his due process claim that the State selectively appealed his conviction.
Petitioner's first contention, that the principles of double jeopardy prohibit increasing a prisoner's sentence once the prisoner has begun serving his first sentence, has no merit. Stuckey admits, in brief, that his sentence was illegal under Georgia law. It has been repeatedly held that resentencing a prisoner to correct an illegal sentence does not implicate double jeopardy rights, even if the prisoner has already served part of his term. See, e. g., Bozza v. United States, 330 U.S. 160, 166-67, 67 S.Ct. 645, 648-49, 91 L.Ed. 818 (1947); United States v. Denson, 603 F.2d 1143, 1148 (5th Cir. 1979) (en banc); Llerena v. United States, 508 F.2d 78, 80-81 (5th Cir. 1975); Caille v. United States, 487 F.2d 614, 615 (5th Cir. 1973). Stuckey also argues that the trial court may have actually intended to convict him of simple robbery, a lesser included offense. This contention is totally unsupported by the record.
Petitioner's second contention is likewise meritless. He argues that the increased sentence is prohibited under North Carolina v. Pearce, 395 U.S. 711, 89 S.Ct. 2072, 23 L.Ed.2d 656 (1969). In Pearce, the Supreme Court held that neither the double jeopardy clause nor the Equal Protection Clause bars imposition of a more severe sentence upon reconviction of a defendant whose original conviction has been set aside on appeal. The imposition of a heavier sentence, however, to Punish the defendant for having successfully appealed his first conviction would be a denial of due process. Id. at 725, 89 S.Ct. at 2080. Therefore, the Court held, "(W)henever a judge imposes a more severe sentence upon a defendant after a new trial, the reasons for his doing so must affirmatively appear. Those reasons must be based upon objective information concerning identifiable conduct on the part of the defendant ocurring after the time of the original sentencing proceeding." Id. at 726, 89 S.Ct. at 2081. Thus, under Pearce (even though there was no reconviction in this case), the trial court may consider a subsequent conviction in resentencing a defendant whose original sentence has been declared void. See Burton v. Goodlett, 480 F.2d 983, 986-87 (5th Cir. 1973).
We need not consider Stuckey's third contention, that the State waived any right to appeal under Georgia law. This contention is a matter of Georgia's interpretation of its own laws and does not raise a federal constitutional claim cognizable in habeas corpus. See Skipper v. Wainwright, 598 F.2d 425 (5th Cir. 1979) (per curiam).
Petitioner's final contention, that the State selectively appealed his sentence, is frivolous. Moreover, this issue was not raised before the district court and will not be considered for the first time on appeal absent a miscarriage of justice. See Martin Oil Co. v. Gulf Insurance Co., 605 F.2d 197, 199 (5th Cir. 1979). Accordingly, the ruling of the district court is
Fed.R.App.P. 34(a), 5th Cir. R. 18
(a) . . . A person convicted of armed robbery shall be punished by death or imprisonment for life, or by imprisonment for not less than five nor more than 20 years: Provided, however, that for a second or subsequent such offense, such defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than 10 years
The preceding provisions of this section notwithstanding, in any case in which the defendant committed armed robbery and in the course of the commission of such offense intentionally, with an offense weapon, inflicted serious bodily injury on a person, such fact shall be charged in the indictment or information, and if found to be true by the court or if admitted by the defendant, the defendant shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than 10 years.
(b) Adjudication of guilty or imposition of sentence shall not be suspended, probated, deferred or withheld for any offense punishable under subsection (a) of this section.

Josh Field
"Woodsy Rock and Rasping Americana"
Website Book Now
"There's something timeless about the dark rolling melodies of Brother Nothing's woodsy rock and rasping Americana," wrote Phoenix Saloon's Ross Fortune of the gruff, yet tender sound of singer-songwriter Josh Field and Brother Nothing. Influenced by everything from country and rock to soul, blues, and reggae, the band's wide-ranging style comes through in its first full-length album, All In My Mind (February 5, 2016). A display of honest writing talent by Field, these songs will put listeners at ease ("Morning Shade") and leave them taken aback ("Cold, Cold Ground"). Other highlights include the title track, "Nowhere Town," and "Hippie," an homage to love and the hypocrisy of denying it. A thriving part of Austin's music scene, Josh Field and Brother Nothing will be sharing their new music with fans at various venues in 2016.
