1st Version Photos From Arizona, 2019 Edition
The Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters have done the early part of their training camp in Arizona the past four seasons. As a result there have been a number of cards in BBM's 1st Version set the past four years that have featured photographs taken in Arizona. I've done posts in the past on the cards from the 2016, 2017 and 2018 sets so now here's a post on the 2019 cards.
Most of the photos for this year's 1st Version set were taken last year. The only photos taken in training camp are usually for the rookies and players who switched teams over the winter, including foreign players coming to Japan for the first time. Of the players the Fighters brought to Scottsdale, Arizona this year, only five players fall into this category - new foreign players Po-Jung Wang, Johnny Barbato and Justin Hancock along with former Buffalo Chihiro Kaneko and former Swallow Ryo Akiyoshi.
I found Barbato's photo in the Fighter's gallery from February 1st so that photo was definitely taken in Arizona:
Wang's photo is not in the gallery but it looks like it was taken during the exhibition game against the KBO's NC Dinos at Salt River Fields At Talking Stick on February 11th:
I couldn't find the photos for Hancock, Akiyoshi or Kaneko in the team's galleries at all but I'm fairly confident based on the backgrounds that they were also taken in Scottsdale:
I'm pretty certain that the photo on Wang's "Cross Sunrise" card was taken after the team went to Okinawa for the second part of training camp. The complete photo on the back of the card looks like it was probably taken during the inter-squad game on February 16th:
2019 BBM 1st Version #CS09
The Fighters team card in each of the past three years has featured a photo taken in Arizona - Peoria in 2016, Mesa in 2017 and Scottsdale in 2018. This year's photo was obviously taken in Okinawa however:
Calbee's Series One this year features a photo of Kaneko that I'm pretty confident was taken in Arizona. It looks similar to one of the shots in the team's gallery for February 2nd:
2019 Calbee #016
Sadly it looks like this will be the last time I do this exercise, at least for 1st Version and the Fighters. The team has announced that it will be doing all of training camp in Okinawa next year.
2019 BBM 1st Version set
2019 BBM 1st Version Set Summary
Size: 372 cards numbered 1-336, CS01-CS36
Cards Per Team: 28 (team card, manager + 26 players)
Team Card Theme: Spring Training
Number Of Leader Cards: N/A
Checklists: None
Subsets: Cross Sunrise (36)
Inserts: Japonism(12), Beginning (12), Dominator(12), 3D Cross Sunrise (12, #'d to 25)
Memorabilia Cards: Jersey cards for YukiYanagita and Seiya Suzuki. Each jersey card is serially numbered to 200 plus a parallel patch version numbered to 20. I think there may be a combination jersey card (and a parallel patch version) but I can't find . There are a large number of autograph cards available as well - including ones with multiple autographs
Parallels: 12 regular player cards have a "secret" alternate photo version. 108 regular players cards (9 per team) have facsimile autograph parallels - silver, gold (#'d to 100), holograph (#'d to 50), red (#'d to 25) and green (#'d to 10) - this includes the "secret" versions of the cards as well. (I think the 1st round picks for each team are included in the 108 players.) 80 of the rookie cards have three numbered parallel versions - "Foilboard" (numbered to 200), "Holo Foil" (numbered to 100) and "Green Foil" (numbered to 50). The "Cross Sunrise" cards have three parallel versions - "Gold Foil" (numbered to 100), "Holo Foil" (numbered to 50) and "1 of 1". There are parallel versions for the "Beginning" (#'d to 100) and "Dominator" (#'d to 50) inserts but I couldn't find any evidence that there was a parallel version for the "Japonism" inserts.
Notable Rookies: Akira Neo, Kyota Fujiwara, Kosei Yoshida, Hiroshi Kaino, Koji Chikamoto
BBM's 1st Version set is rapidly becoming like their Rookie Edition set in that it is so monotonously similar from year to year that I don't have a whole lot to say about it. For the fifth year in a row the base set has contained 372 cards that are split between 324 player (and manager) cards, 12 team checklists and a 36 card "Cross Something" subset that will be continued in the 2nd Version set in August.
On the plus side it's a nice looking set (as usual). I don't think BBM's done a design I didn't find attractive for a 1st Version set since maybe 2005. On the minus side I have my usual complaints. The first one is that limiting each team to only 26 players and insisting on having cards of each non-ikusei draft pick means that deserving players don't show up in the set. I complain about this every year but then struggle to pick an example. This year I'll go with Dennis Sarfate, Tsuyoshi Wada and Louis Okoye although in fairness to BBM - Wada's only played with the Hawks' farm team, Sarfate hasn't played in ANY games yet and Okoye has been less than effective. On the other hand last year they didn't have a card of the eventual Pacific League Rookie Of The Year Kazuki Tanaka in either the 1st or 2nd Version sets so it may be that a major omission will eventually present itself.
My second and bigger usual complaint with the set is the mind-numbing repetition of the same poses. There's way too many photos of pitchers pitching and batters batting. The Lions cards are the worst offenders in the set - every single non-rookie pitcher is depicted in pretty much the same pose - in the middle of their motion with the ball cocked in their throwing arm behind their head:
Most of the photos were taken last season. The exceptions of course are the newcomers for each team - the cards for the rookies, free agents and newly signed foreign players were taken in the early part of spring training in February. The other exception to this is the Dragons - because they have new uniforms this year all of their photos were taken this February. As a result they have the most interesting photographs.
Here's some example cards - for the most part I tried to get some of the better photos:
I'm pretty sure Tomoyuki Sugano's photo is from his no-hitter in the First Stage of the Climax Series last October - in fact it looks like this photo and the one on his Epoch One card were taken at the same moment from different angles:
Last year I beat BBM up for using a photo of Norichika Aoki at his press conference when he returned to the Swallows instead of an on-field photo. They did a similar thing this year with Josh Ravin of the Marines - I have no idea why they didn't use an on-field photo of him like they did in their Marines team set that came out a week or so before this set came out.
The backs are the standard BBM flagship backs - just the rearranging of the usual ingredients:
#100 (Masataka Yoshida)
The team checklists show scenes from early spring training again. This was getting a bit stale but this year BBM included several more silly photos than they've done in the past. Here's a couple:
I don't have much to say about the "Cross Sunrise" cards - as I said last year, if you've seen one of BBM's previous "Cross Something" cards, you pretty much seen these:
#CS21
I splurged a little this year when I picked up this set off of Yahoo! Japan Auctions. The set I bought included half of the "secret" version cards, the entire "Beginning" insert set and eight of the twelve "Dominator" inserts.
This is the third year BBM has done "secret" versions of 12 1st Version cards - these are photo variant parallel cards. Generally the photo is a little more interesting than the regular card. Here's Tetsuto Yamada's regular card and his "secret" version - the regular card is on the left:
The "Beginning" insert set features one young player for each of the 12 teams. Half of the cards are for rookies and the other six were drafted in the previous two years (2016 or 2017).
The "Dominator" insert set features one "dominating" player from each team.
#D10
As always you can see all the cards (including the inserts, parallels and "secret" versions) over at Jambalaya (the rarer parallels are here).

Card Of The Week April 28
With this being my final "Card Of The Week" post for the Heisei Era I thought it would be appropriate to honor the player who both John E. Gibson and Jim Allen picked as the Heisei Era NPB MVP on last week's Japan Baseball Weekly podcast: Tomoaki Kanemoto. This is card #20 from the box set BBM issued when he retired in 2012:
New Team Sets
I wanted to do a quick post about some recently announced "comprehensive" team sets from Epoch and BBM as well as a couple team issued sets that were released earlier this month.
- Epoch has announced four new team sets (titled "Rookies & Stars") to go with the three previously announced sets (two of which have been released already) - the Buffaloes, the Dragons, the Fighters and the Swallows. The Buffloes set has a 67 card base set with two different serially numbered parallels of the rookie cards (I think). It will be out on May 25th. The Dragons set has a 70 card base set (14 cards of which have a photo variant) and two insert sets - Rookie Sensation and Force Of The Dragon. Its release date is June 8th. The base set for the Fighters set has 70 cards. There are also two insert sets - Seven Rookies and Newest Member. The set will hit the stores on June 15th. The Swallows base set has 69 cards and what appear to be the same kind of parallels for the rookie cards that the Buffaloes set has. All four sets (like the three previous sets) have three serially numbered insert sets - Masqued Black, Masqued Red and Gem - these appear to be Epoch's version of BBM's "Phantom" inserts that are common for all their team sets. All four sets also have a plethora of autograph cards available but the Fighters set is the only one with memorabilia cards available. With seven team sets announced Epoch has matched the number of "comprehensive" team sets they did last year although they switched out the Carp for the Fighters. I will be curious if they will do the other five teams or not.
- The announcements of the Lions and Tigers team sets from BBM brings their total announced team sets to seven also. As has been the standard for BBM's "comprehensive" team sets the past few years, both sets have an 81 card base set that's broken into a variety of subsets. The Lions base set has 68 cards for the players and manager plus three subsets - "College Connection" (4 cards), "New Blue Blood" (4 cards) and "Pole Position" (5 cards). The set also has 30 insert cards split between four sets - "No Way Back" (9 cards), "Overture" (6 cards), "Power Plant" (3 cards) and "Phantom" (12 cards). The set will be out in late-May. The details are a little sketchier on the Tigers set - the base set has 68 cards for the players and three subsets - a three card one featuring young players, a five card one featuring the starting rotation and a five card on featuring position players. There's four insert sets - a nine card on featuring main players, a six card one that I'm not sure what is, a three card one for veterans and 18 "Phantom" cards. The set's release date is in mid-June. Both sets feature various autograph cards.
- Jambalaya had information up about a couple team issued sets that were released April. There's a 78 card set for the Orix Buffaloes that features cards of all the players on the roster plus two of their mascots (but oddly enough not manager Norifumi Nishimura). The Eagles have been issuing an annual set for at least seven years now. This year's edition includes a 91 card base set (82 player cards which do not include mascots or manager Yusuke Hiraishi but does include the Eagles ikusei players plus nine cards highlighting milestones and titles Eagles players earned in 2018) which has a signature parallel version. There's also a couple insert sets available including one that's die-cut.

2019 Calbee Series One
The first of what is expected to be three Series from Calbee was released a few weeks back. There's no big surprises in Series One - the base set contains 98 cards which break down into 72 player cards (6 per team), 22 "Title Holder" cards and four checklist cards.
The English names are back on the front of the player cards again this year after being replaced by Japanese names last year. The fronts otherwise look pretty much the same as Calbee fronts always look - borderless cards with the player's number, team name and team logo positioned above his name.
The player cards in Series One always seem kind of light on the big name players and this year is no exception. None of the biggest names in Japanese baseball - Tomoyuki Sugano, Tetsuto Yamada, Yoshitomo Tsutsugoh, Takehiro Norimoto, Yuki Yanagita, Shogo Akiyama, Seiya Suzuki or Hayato Sakamoto - appear in the set. It's not a big deal because this is really only one third of Calbee's set this year but it is something to keep in mind. Probably the biggest names in the player cards in this Series are Shinnosuke Abe, Koji Uehara, Nobuhiro Matsuda, T-Okada and Takeya Nakamura. As far as I can tell there's only two players in the set who changed teams over the winter and they're a pair of ex-Orix pitchers - Yuki Nishi (Tigers) and Chihiro Kaneko (Fighters). There are two rookies in the set which is a bit unusual - Kyota Fujiwara of the Marines and Akira Neo of the Dragons, the pair of former Osaka Toin teammates who went in the first round of last fall's draft.
Photo selection in the set is a little better than usual. There's still way too many photos of pitchers pitching and hitters hitting but there's a pretty good selection of fielders and baserunners as well. There's only a couple cards in the Series that use a horizontal format. It looks to me that all the photos in the set were taken last season with the exception of the Nishi, Kaneko, Fujiwara and Neo cards (obviously). Here's some example cards:
The 22 card "Title Holder" subset features players who either won an award or lead either league in a major statistical category last season. This subset includes a couple of those big names that I mentioned earlier including Sugano, Yamada, Norimoto, Akiyama and Yanagita as well as Hotaka Yamakawa and Wladimir Balentien. Hideto Asamura and Yoshihiro Maru are included in the subset in the uniforms of their 2019 teams (the Eagles and Giants respectively) despite having earned their titles with a different team (the Lions and Carp respectively). Each player only has one card regardless of how many titles they won - Maru for example won the Central League MVP and lead the league in OBP last year. His card indicates both titles:
#T-13
As usual the four checklist cards feature events from late last season - the Lions and Carp celebrating their league championships on September 30th and 26th respectively, the Hawks' Nippon Series Victory Parade in Fukuoka on November 25th and Tetsuto Yamada getting his 30th home run of the season on August 24th. Here's the Hawk's parade card:
#C-03
As always you can see all the cards over at Jambalaya including the two insert sets ("Star" and "Legend") and the special box set ("Strikeout Leader") that's available by redeeming "Lucky Cards".

Having let Craig Kimbrel leave as a free agent, the defending World Champion Red Sox have turned to former Carp pitcher Ryan Braiser to be their closer this year. Brasier was originally drafted by the Angels and made his MLB debut with them in 2013. He missed the entire 2014 season due to an elbow strain and was released by the Angels at the end of the year. The Athletics picked him up and he spent two seasons in their organization before he headed to Japan. He spent 2017 with Hiroshima, going 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA in 26 games with the ichi-gun team and going 0-0 with an ERA of 1.35 in 19 games with the Carp's farm team. He returned to the US late last winter, signing with the Red Sox on March 4th and split last year evenly between Triple-A Pawtucket and the major league team, appearing in 34 games for each team. He also pitched for the Red Sox in each round of the post-season last year. Here's Brasier's card from the 2017 BBM Carp "Successful Achievement" set (#17) celebrating the team's second consecutive Central League pennant:
This season has not been kind so far to either the Red Sox or the Carp. They both have nearly identical records - the Red Sox are 8-13 while the Carp are 8-12. They have both moved out of last place lately but part of that has been because of more hapless teams (the Baltimore Orioles and the Hanshin Tigers) although both teams won their first series this weekend.

Last Tuesday night Ernesto Mejia hit a solo home run for the Lions in the ninth inning of their game against the Eagles. The home run itself was unremarkable - it made the score a little closer but the Eagles still won the game 7-5 - but it was notable in that it was the 9000th home run in Lions history. They are only the second team to reach this milestone - the Giants were the first and are actually the only team to reach 10,000 home runs. I find it odd that the Lions, a team that has "only" been around since 1950, has out-homered several teams that started out in the 1930's, including the Tigers, Dragons and Hawks. It's really a meaningless milestone but I have no idea why the Lions reached it before these other teams.
Here's Mejia's 2017 Epoch Lions card (#27):
2009 BBM Tokyo Big Six Spring Version Set - Where Are They Now?
BBM's fourth collegiate set was released in April of 2009. The Tokyo Big Six Spring Version set was a box set containing 60 total cards - 54 player cards (nine from each team) and six team cards. Eleven of those 54 players would go on to play in NPB. Five of those eleven have their first cards ever in this set - Toshiki Abe, Fumiya Araki, Yuya Fukui, Kisho Kagami and Kenta Matsushita.
Here's a summary of the future NPB players in the set. Seven of them are still active.

Hisashi Takeuchi Hosei 4 2009 Carp 3rd Played for Carp 2010-15
Kenji Tomura Rikkio 4 2009 Eagles 1st Played for Eagles 2010-present
Here's each player's card from the set plus a card of them from NPB. I've tried to get one of the most recent cards I have for the player although I'm also trying not to repeat cards for players who've been in the previous sets.
2009 BBM Tokyo Big Six Spring Version #25
2018 BBM Dragons #D45
2018 BBM Tigers #T56
2018 BBM Carp #C02
2015 BBM Baystars #DB34

2018 Epoch NPB #222
2018 BBM Lions #L05
2018 BBM Fighters #F02
2010 BBM 2nd Version #600

Panelists To Reflect on Civil Rights Museum
1200x628-img_0344.jpg
On Thursday, November 21, at 6 p.m. individuals featured in the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum's eighth gallery will reflect on the two years since the museum opened alongside the Museum of Mississippi History. The program, the final edition of the museum's 2019 Under the Light series, will take place in This Little Light of Mine gallery and there is no charge to attend.
Panelists include Murrah High School senior Maisie Brown, singer and song-writer Pam Confer, community activist Vernon Hartley, and MDAH Programs and Communication director William "Brother" Rogers. Two Mississippi Museums director Pamela D.C. Junior will moderate the discussion.
The museum's eighth gallery is named after Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1967 book Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?—the last book King wrote before he was assassinated. The gallery invites visitors to share their thoughts about their visit to the museum.
Under the Light references the large light sculpture in the museum's central gallery, which honors veterans of the Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi. Activists are celebrated with words and images, and the music of the Movement emanates from the structure. The Under the Light series takes visitors on a deep dive into each of its eight galleries.
The program is free and open to the public. For more information, call 601-576-6800 or email info@mscivilrightsmuseum.com. The museums are located at 222 North Street, Jackson, MS 39201.
The Mississippi Civil Rights Museum, which opened alongside the Museum of Mississippi History in December 2017 in celebration of the state's bicentennial, explores the period from 1945 to 1976, when Mississippi was ground zero for the Civil Rights Movement nationally. The museums are open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.

Students reflect on body positivity, engage with body acceptance initiatives
Daily file photo by Noah Frick-Alofs
A board set up in Norris where students could share their body acceptance stories during Body Acceptance Week.
Arianna Carpati, Assistant Campus Editor
Last week was Northwestern's Body Acceptance Week, an annual celebration full of events and educational resources about healthy relationships with food and one's body. As part of that week, students reflected on the importance of body positivity and their experiences with it in college.
McCormick freshman Charlotte Oxnam started a blog in December 2019 called Cue the Curves, a forum where plus-size girls can ask questions, share advice and find links to brands that sell stylish plus-size clothing.
Oxnam came up with the idea for the blog when she was a senior at her boarding school and heard others in the halls speaking negatively about their bodies. She was also frustrated by the lack of knowledge of where to find plus-size clothing for young women and wanted to create a central location for those resources.
In her time thus far at Northwestern, Oxnam has had a range of experiences with body positivity, especially in Greek life.
"The first few frat parties are a little uncomfortable," Oxnam said. "People are sharing clothes, and you're like, 'I can't share clothes, everyone is in crop-tops,'" she said. "The style around party culture can feel really isolating to people who aren't really comfortable in their bodies."
She added, however, that her friends have been very supportive of her, and she has found a comfortable community in Greek life. Oxnam said she, and others, should do what makes them happy — which sometimes may be choosing not to enter spaces that make them feel uncomfortable. The online platform differs from a physical space like a club because it allows people to ask questions and walk away when they want to.
"It's great when a place is already diverse; it's hard to be that first person to step into the space and say, 'I will suck it up and deal with it and push back,'" she said. "This site is like my way of doing that remotely."
The online aspect of the blog also allows people to form a community no matter where they are, which was important to Oxnam because there may not always be more than one or two plus-size girls in some communities.
SESP freshman Emi Silverstein sees possible signs of pressure to conform to certain beauty standards, but feels people are generally supportive of promoting body acceptance. Silverstein said people who look a certain way are admired by some, but that few people would call someone out for not fitting certain standards.
She said there is a strong workout culture at NU, and many people do group fitness classes multiple times a week. Particularly, there is an expectation that girls will work out more and attempt to achieve beauty standards after a break-up.
"There's a lot more to feeling good than working out and eating well," she said.
Communication freshman Clay Lawhead said the general public has made a lot of progress in removing insensitive terminology around body image and promoting body acceptance, but there is still more to be done.
Lawhead said he often sees men who are more fit and muscular than he is in the media, prompting him to feel the need to work to attain that standard rather than accepting his own body.
"I can acknowledge people are beautiful no matter what standards they're held up to, but myself, I don't feel confident in myself," he said.
Lawhead thinks the NU community could help support body positivity by hanging more posters around campus reminding people they are beautiful no matter what they look like.
"I'm not very muscular, and seeing men (in the media) who are more fit and have bigger arms and bigger legs, it makes me think 'oh, let's go to the gym, I can achieve that, and be beautiful,' but it's not all about the actual working out — it's about seeing yourself as beautiful," he said. "It's not talked about (in) the media, internalizing what makes yourself beautiful."

Of all these women named Mary, the only one apparently not involved in the Easter story in some way was the last Mary.
Early on Sunday morning, the women -- whom Matthew identifies as Mary Magdalene and "the other Mary" (most likely #4/5, above) -- set off for the tomb to complete the burial preparations that had been shortened on Friday due to the onset of the Sabbath. Matthew's account (Chapter 28) could be read to imply that they arrived at the point of the activity of verses 2-4 (earthquake, etc.), but this is reported by Mark and Luke to have taken place before the women arrived. The guards had apparently fled, the stone was already rolled back, and the body of Jesus was gone. The only answers came from an angel, who told the women that Jesus had risen.
One would have thought that as many times as Jesus had talked about the sign of Jonah and his eventual resurrection, at least some of his followers would have been expecting what happened. But they were so thrown off stride by the events of that weekend, and what Jesus had promised was so outside of the box of their experience, despite Jesus recent raising of Lazarus, that even the angel's report seemed like a dream. It was only when Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene in the garden and to the disciples back in their hiding place that the impossible became the reality.
We rejoice in these women, the first witnesses to the resurrection. We rejoice in the faithful women who follow in their footsteps by bearing witness to the resurrection today, as church members, deacons, ruling elders, and ministers. Nineteen of our women ministers gathered in March for a two-day retreat led by Karoline Lewis of Luther Seminary (Minneapolis, MN). Currently, we have four candidates and four inquirers under care of Presbytery, preparing for ministry. Five of them are women. More persons are in conversation with us about coming under care, including at least two women and one man by my count.
"In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy …" (Acts 2:17, NRSV). The women at the tomb were first up in these "last days." Many have followed. May we soon reach the time churchwide where those in the ordered ministry of the Word and Sacrament are viewed not as "women minsters," but just "ministers." That would be a fitting tribute to the faithful first witnesses to Jesus' resurrection.

The lighter days of CNN's Cuomo Brothers show are long gone
by: DAVID BAUDER, Associated Press
Posted: Feb 19, 2021 / 02:01 AM CST
Updated: Feb 19, 2021 / 10:32 AM CST
NEW YORK (AP) — Some television shows age much better than others.
For CNN, last spring's prime-time banter between Chris Cuomo and his older brother, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, looks worse in hindsight as the governor's administration is questioned about its role in failing to disclose the true number of COVID-19 nursing home deaths.
CNN is covering that story, but not on Chris Cuomo's show. The network said it had reinstated a prohibition on Cuomo interviewing or doing stories about his brother that it had temporarily lifted last spring.
The brothers were both in the spotlight last March. Chris Cuomo caught COVID-19 and continued anchoring his show from his basement, while the governor dealt with New York's hellish days as the nation's early coronavirus epicenter. Andrew Cuomo's near-daily briefing was widely televised and, to some viewers, embraced as a counterpoint to those held by former President Donald Trump.
Nine times between March 19 and June 24, 2020, the governor appeared on his brother's show. The trash-talking and brotherly love between the two Italians from Queens was fun if occasionally cheesy, like when Chris Cuomo mocked his brother's big nose with a giant cotton swab he said would be necessary to give him a COVID-19 test.
"I found these interviews to be very entertaining, and perhaps Chris could ask questions of his brother that other people can't," said Roy Gutterman, a media law professor at Syracuse University. "But from the very beginning, I thought it was wildly inappropriate.
"It's Journalism 101," he said. "We tell our students you shouldn't interview your family and friends."
The policy avoids a conflict of interest — can one brother really be expected to ask tough questions of another? — or at the very least the appearance of one.
Through a spokeswoman, CNN said that the early months of the pandemic were an extraordinary time.
"We felt that Chris speaking with his brother about the challenges of what millions of American families were struggling with was of significant human interest," CNN said. "As a result, we made an exception to a rule that we have had in place since 2013 which prevents Chris from interviewing his brother, and that rule remains in place today."
Largely bubbling below the radar for months, questions about Andrew Cuomo have come to the forefront in the past few weeks. New York's attorney general issued a report that said the administration minimized the number of nursing home residents who died of COVID-19 by excluding those who died elsewhere, usually a hospital.
This was significant because of a Cuomo administration directive in March that nursing homes should not deny admission or readmission to a patient because they had COVID-19. The policy was rescinded two months later.
Keeping the true number of nursing home residents who died hidden would theoretically deflect any blame for a bad policy choice. The governor has blamed staff entering nursing homes for spreading the virus to the vulnerable population, not patients brought in with COVID-19. He has said it would be discriminatory not to let those patients into nursing homes.
Last week, it was revealed that an Andrew Cuomo aide told New York legislators that the true picture of nursing home deaths wasn't revealed for fear it would be used against the governor during an investigation launched by Trump's Justice Department.
The last time the governor appeared on his brother's show, in June, Chris Cuomo asked him: "Nursing homes. People died there. They didn't have to. It was mismanaged. And the operators have been given immunity. What do you have to say about that?"
The governor replied that some of what his brother said was incorrect. "But that's OK," he said. "It's your show. You say whatever you want to say."
He went on to say that it was a tragic situation "and we have to figure out how to do it better next time."
CNN has covered the most recent developments several times outside of Chris Cuomo's show, including at least 24 times last week alone. Two notable instances were a thorough report by Brianna Keilar on Jan. 29and Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" Sunday. Both anchors said they had asked Andrew Cuomo to appear on their show and been turned down — dozens of times, in Tapper's case.
The governor "made a bad decision that may have cost lives and then his administration hid that data from the public," Tapper said.
Although Chris Cuomo, following his network's policy, hasn't addressed the latest stories, the byplay with his brother did come up just before the election last October in a heated exchange on his show with Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh.
Murtaugh criticized Cuomo for asking "self-righteous questions" about whether the Trump administration took COVID-19 seriously, and referenced the giant swab.
"Does this look like a couple of guys who were taking it seriously?" he said. "You had your brother on for the Cuomo Brothers Comedy Hour."
"Yes, I did," Chris Cuomo replied. "It was funny as hell."

KY Ct. App.
MURRY v. MURRY
Court of Appeals of Kentucky.
James MURRY and June Murry, Appellants v. Sharon MURRY (Now Pudlo) and Dante Murry, Appellees.
No. 2013–CA–000337–ME.
Before COMBS, NICKELL, and STUMBO, Judges. Allen McKee Dodd, Richard I. Williams, Jr., Louisville, KY, for appellants. Bonita K. Baker, Louisville, KY, for appellees.
James and June Murry (the Murrys), grandparents of three minor children,1 appeal the December 18, 2012, order of the Jefferson Family Court that: denied their motion for contempt against the children's mother; denied the mother's motion to set aside the agreed order concerning the Murrys' visitation with the children; and denied each party's motion for fees and costs. After our review, we affirm in part and remand in part.
This action was initiated on August 11, 2011, when the Murrys filed a petition for grandparents' visitation rights against their son, Dante Murry (the children's father), and the children's mother, Sharon Pudlo (Dante's former wife), pursuant to the provisions of Kentucky Revised Statute[s] (KRS) 405.021. Dante answered the petition, requesting the court to grant the Murrys visitation rights separate and apart from his parenting time. In her answer, Sharon did not oppose the Murrys' request for visitation with the children. On August 25, 2011, the court ordered the parties to participate in mediation.
On September 16, 2011, an agreed order was entered in court. The order provided that the children would be permitted overnight visitation with the Murrys 45 times per year. These visits were to be scheduled by Sharon and by the Murrys.
As tension concerning the children's well-being developed over time, animosity between Sharon and the Murrys escalated. On one occasion, police intervention became necessary. On September 24, 2012, Sharon filed a motion to set aside the agreed order that permitted visitation with the Murrys. She also requested that the Murrys not be permitted to supervise the children's visitation with their father, Dante, who exercised visitation with the children on alternating weekends during the school year and on alternating weeks during summer break.2 The Murrys filed a motion for contempt against Sharon the following day. They alleged that Sharon had failed to abide by the court's order awarding them visitation. A period of discovery began, and each party moved for attorney's fees and costs.
The court conducted an evidentiary hearing on November 14, 2012. It heard evidence pertaining to the difficulties between Sharon and the Murrys. It also received the report of Sally Brenzel, a licensed clinical psychologist; the report was dated October 4, 2012. Brenzel had prepared the report as well as a recommendation for a time-sharing schedule for the children pursuant to the court's request.
Although the court was not inclined to set aside the award of grandparent visitation, it did observe that the visits between the Murrys and the children were a source of continuing discord. After considering the testimony, the court concluded that the provisions for visitation originally established by the agreed order were not working. The court concluded that the interests of the children would be better served through implementation of a fixed visitation schedule. The court ordered that the Murrys could exercise visitation with the children on alternating weekends throughout the year. These visits were to overlap Dante's time-sharing arrangement. By order entered on December 12, 2012, the court denied the motion to set aside the award of grandparent visitation; denied the motion for contempt; and denied the cross-motions for fees and costs. It additionally denied the Murrys' request for more specific findings of fact. Their motion to alter, amend, or vacate was also denied. This appeal followed.
On appeal, the Murrys contend that the court erred by modifying the terms of the original visitation order and that it abused its discretion both by refusing to cite Sharon for contempt and by refusing to award their attorney's fees. We address each of these contentions in the order in which it was presented.
In their first argument, the Murrys contend that the court's amended order scheduling grandparent visitation concurrently with Dante's parenting time deprives them of the independent visitation available to them under the agreed order entered in September 2011. They argue that this modification was not requested by any party and could not have been granted under the provisions of Kentucky Rule[s] of Civil Procedure (CR) 60.02(f). They contend further that they were deprived of a meaningful opportunity to be heard and that no evidence relative to the children's best interests was properly presented to the court. As part of this argument, the Murrys contend that the family court erred by failing to make specific findings with respect to the need for a modification in visitation.
Sharon and Dante have a statutorily granted right to the care and custody of their children that is superior to any similar interest of the Murrys. Moore v. Asente, 110 S.W.3d 336 (Ky.2003). More importantly, they have a fundamental and constitutionally protected right to raise the children as they see fit. Id. Furthermore, despite entry of the agreed order, the Murrys were not entitled to exercise visitation with the minor children in the same manner or upon the same schedule forever without any possibility of modification.
Disputes arising in family law are subject to the court's continuing jurisdiction over children until they reach majority or emancipation; modifications in visitation and time-sharing arrangements often become necessary over time as children grow and circumstances change. The court's authority in this proceeding was not narrowly circumscribed. On the contrary, its right to adjudicate the parties' rights with respect to the children was sweeping, and it certainly had the authority necessary to order that a fixed visitation schedule be implemented by the parties. Thus, we cannot accept the Murrys' contention that the family court acted ultra vires.
Furthermore, having reviewed the proceedings, it appears that the Murrys were provided adequate notice concerning the nature of the hearing and a meaningful opportunity to be heard on the merits. The Murrys were fully aware that Sharon intended to challenge their continuing presence in the children's lives. In response, they presented evidence indicating that they had been involved with their grandchildren throughout their lives; that they had formed lasting bonds with them; and that the grandchildren would benefit from a continuing relationship with their grandparents. The Murrys were not denied their right to due process of law.
Next, the Murrys contend that the family court erred by permitting the introduction of psychologist Brenzel's report. However, there is no indication that the family court relied upon the report in reaching its decision. This report was properly prepared to assist the court in creating a viable parenting schedule for the children. The Murrys participated in the preparation of the report, and their place in the parents' timesharing schedule was specifically addressed within it. Nevertheless, the court did not refer to its contents when it determined that the Murrys' visitation should be merged with Dante's parenting time, and there was substantial evidence to support the court's decision. There is no reversible error on this point.
However, we do agree with the Murrys with respect to the adequacy of the court's findings of fact. The provisions of CR 52.01 require the family court to engage in a good faith effort at fact-finding and to include those facts in a written order. See Anderson v. Johnson, 350 S.W.3d 453 (Ky.2011). Sharon contends that specific findings of fact and separate conclusions of law are not necessary where the court merely modifies an existing visitation order. We disagree. The Supreme Court of Kentucky has emphasized that matters affecting the welfare of children are among the most important undertaken by our courts. Consequently, it has written that "it is imperative that the trial courts make the requisite findings of fact and conclusions of law to support their orders." Keifer v. Keifer, 354 S.W.3d 123, 125–26 (Ky.2011).
Our ability to conduct a proper and effective review of a family court's conclusions is dependent upon our understanding of the facts upon which it relied. We must be fully aware of the facts upon which the court's conclusions of law rely. In this case, the family court found that the visitation provision of the agreed order had not been working and that it "presents more problems than it resolves." This finding falls short of the requirement that the necessary facts be found specifically. Under the circumstances, we are compelled to remand this case for entry of additional findings in support of the court's order.
Next, the Murrys contend that the family court abused its discretion both by refusing to cite Sharon for contempt and by refusing to award their attorney's fees. We disagree.
The Murrys assert that Sharon was acting in contempt of the court's order when she failed to permit them to visit the children on pre-arranged dates between mid-September and the end of the year 2012. They argue that Sharon's decision to deny the visitation was made in bad faith and is punishable as contempt.
Our courts have inherent power to punish individuals for their willful disobedience of the court's orders. Newsome v. Commonwealth, 35 S.W.3d 836 (Ky.App.2001). When a court exercises its contempt powers, it does so with nearly unfettered discretion. Following its hearing in the matter, the court was not persuaded that Sharon had willfully withheld visitation in violation of the agreed order; thus, it declined to hold her in contempt. The court acted wholly within its discretion in making this determination. Consequently, there are no grounds for reversal on this basis.
Finally, the Murrys contend that the family court abused its discretion by failing to properly address their request for attorney's fees. They allege that the court erred in concluding that it could not award fees since the parties failed to present evidence of their financial resources—and that fees could not otherwise be awarded as a sanction.
Since the family court declined to find Sharon in contempt, it did not err by refusing to sanction her on that basis. And the record reveals that the parties do appear to have presented evidenced of their financial resources. However, the record does not indicate upon what other basis the Murrys sought an award of costs or fees. The provisions of KRS 403.220 permit an award of costs and attorney's fees incurred in maintaining or defending a proceeding conducted pursuant to the provisions of KRS Chapter 403. But this proceeding was not conducted under that chapter. Instead, this proceeding was conducted under the provisions of KRS Chapter 405. There is no similar cost and fee shifting provision contained in Chapter 405. Consequently, the family court did not err by refusing to award to the Murrys the costs and fees they sought.
The order of the Jefferson Family Court is affirmed in part and remanded for entry of additional findings in support of its order concerning visitation.
1. The eldest child has likely reached the age of majority by now. We have not been provided with each child's date of birth.
2. Dante is disabled by mental illness; the Murrys manage his affairs.
COMBS, Judge.

Coach Mack Brown and Coach Nick Saban are previous winners of the award given to the top coach in America. Brown took the award after winning the national championship in 2005 & Saban won it at LSU after sharing in the 2003 national championship there.
The American Heart Association will present the award to the winner.
Lets hope that a win on January 7th, 2010 will propel Saban to his second Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year award. It will finally come home to momma! Roll Tide!

It's been almost a year since Harry Styles released his self-titled solo debut, and with his world tour kicking off Sunday night (March 11), fans are eager to find out if he has new tunes in store. Turns out he does, and he rolled two of them out during the opening night of his global trek in Basel, Switzerland.
In video caught by fans at the show, Styles -- wearing a black suit with sparkly accents -- strummed an acoustic guitar while singing the catchy chorus to a song fans have dubbed "Anna." In it, he sings, "I don't want you sympathy, but you don't know what you do to me/ Oh, Anna!/ Every time I see your face, there's only so much I can take/ Oh, Anna!"
The song, which appears to be called "Anna" (or "Oh Anna") also included brief snippets of the iconic strummy acoustic guitar hook from George Michaels' "Faith."
Check out fan-shot videos of the new song below.
Styles also appeared to unleash another fresh track, the intense "Medicine," with the chorus "Can I take my medicine, take my medicine/ Rest it on your fingertips/ Up to your mouth, feeling it out/ Feeling it out." Both "Medicine" and "Anna" are actually tracks that were part of the writing process for Styles' self-titled debut album, as he explained on stage.
The full set list, according to a fan, includes versions of One Direction's "Stockholm Syndrome," "If I Could Fly" and "What Makes You Beautiful," a bit of Ariana Grande's "Just a Little Bit of Your Heart" (which Styles co-wrote), and his now-famous cover of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain."
Styles' tour continues in Europe through mid-April, then jumps to Australia and Asia and looping to South and Central America and finally hitting the U.S. on June 5, starting with a show at American Airlines Arena in Dallas. See the full list of tour dates here.
