Question: Farm to Table: July 28 brunch

Fresh, local food? Check.
Gorgeous view of Mount Hood? Check.
Supporting a nonprofit that addresses food insecurity? Check.
FISH Food Bank will host a Farm to Table Brunch on Saturday, July 28 from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Mt. View Orchards, located in Parkdale. A no-host bar will be available.
What’s unique about this event, said event co-organizer Katrina McAlexander, FISH board member and owner and operator of Mt. View Orchards, is that it will focus on brunch fare.
“If you’ve never experienced a farm to table dinner, it’s where a chef tries to pull in locally harvested foods from ultra-local farms … and it’s dinner-style. But what’s exciting about this one is that it’s a brunch, so we’ll have fresh peach mimosas, for example.”
The brunch will accomplish a number of goals, said McAlexander: To invite the community to learn about the work of FISH, to help expand the garden located behind the food bank and to celebrate the nonprofit’s 50th year of serving the valley. McAlexander and co-chair Katie Haynie, also on the FISH board, are organizing the event.
“We hope that people will respond to the call to support more fresh food for everyone in our community,” said McAlexander. “It’s a delicious way to support the food bank.”
Chef Kathy Watson is volunteering her time as executive chef and is planning the menu. “She has a huge heart for the underserved and promoting small family farms as well,” said McAlexander.
Giselle Kennedy Lord, of Quinchoso, is event planner, organizer and graphic designer, and River Hood Rentals is donating tableware and flatware. McAlexander has donated the use of the Mt. View Orchard event space, as well as a keg of her Golden Row hard cider.
FISH has also partnered with Spirit of Grace church, who donated use of the food bank space as well as the garden. The garden is a ministry of the church congregation, with food grown there going directly to the food bank’s clients and planted each spring with clients’ needs in mind.
Spirit of Grace additionally has a greater mission to provide equal access to fresh, nutritious produce as well as teach the community how to grow their own food, as reported in the Aug. 16, 2017, edition of the Hood River News.
The mission of FISH, according to its website, is “… to help alleviate hunger by distributing food regularly and on an emergency basis, regardless of gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation and in a friendly, instant, sympathetic, helpful, nonjudgmental and confidential manner.”
Tickets are $50 and available at Waucoma Bookstore, the FISH website at www.fish-food-bank.com/farmFISHbrunch.html, or on Eventbrite at www.eventbrite.com/e/farm-to-fish-brunch-tickets-47036400139.
Only 100 seats will be available.

Google-parent company Alphabet topped Wall Street targets with 23% revenue growth in Q1, but the better-than-expected performance was not enough to allay worries about rising expenses and the most significant risks of a regulatory clampdown the company has faced in years.
Shares of Alphabet initially jumped by more than 4% in after-hours trading on Monday but quickly reversed course and fell back to around the price that the stock closed at during regular trading.
Google executives said that mobile search and strength in the YouTube video streaming business continued to drive the company's growth. Advertising revenue, which made up 86% of the core Google business, also grew 24% year-over-year to $26.6 billion.

Question: Chargers fire coach Mike McCoy after 2nd last-place finish

Sports
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The San Diego Chargers have fired Mike McCoy following a second straight last-place finish in the AFC West and a third straight season out of the playoffs. The team announced McCoy’s firing about an hour after the Chargers lost 37-27 to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
McCoy had said in a postgame news conference he hoped to be back next year. He won’t get that chance. McCoy was 27-37 in four seasons. John Spanos, the president of football operations, says in a statement that “our team’s disappointing performance has not matched this team’s potential and has fallen short of the demanding standards that we seek to impose throughout our organization.”

Question: Livestock compensation slows to trickle

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title:

SIMCOE -
Farmers are encountering mounting resistance from the province when it comes to livestock predation claims.
Some producers have gone out of business now that the Ministry of Agriculture and Food is rejecting 20 per cent of claims.
Haldimand-Norfolk MPP Toby Barrett, the Progressive Conservatives’ agriculture critic at Queen’s Park, raised the issue in the legislature last week.
“One in five claims for predation kills are rejected by your staff,” Barrett told Agriculture Minister Jeff Leal on Dec. 4.
“They don’t visit the scene, they’re not on the ground, even though you advocate for evidence-based decision-making. It has left livestock owners out in the cold. We hear of cases where a lamb or calf has been carted off by coyotes. There’s no evidence. There’s no blood. There’s no carcass.
“Minister, I want to pin this down: Will you commit to creating a better system to compensate for predator kills? For example, when a coyote eats the evidence?”
Leal replied that he is aware of the problem and is looking into better ways of administering the program.
“When we have a program in place that is not working and is not meeting expectations, we commence a review,” Leal said. “That is the responsible way to conduct public policy in the province of Ontario.”
The Livestock, Poultry and Honey Bee Protection Act entitles farmers to compensation when dogs or wildlife kill their animals.
Under this program, municipalities appoint inspectors to investigate livestock kills and file a report. Municipalities file these reports with the Ministry of Agriculture, which is responsible for providing compensation.
Larry Davis, of Burford, is Brant, Haldimand and Norfolk’s representative to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. He’s also a long-serving livestock evaluator in Brant County.
Davis has noticed that it is taking the province longer to process loss claims. He’s also noticed that an increasing number of claims are rejected.
A big part of the problem is the increasing strength of the coyote population in southern Ontario. Farmers need to provide evidence that their livestock has been killed. Coyotes, however, are efficient predators and usually leave nothing behind.
“I’ve talked to farmers who’ve been left with just a few pieces of hair,” Davis said. “That’s not enough to claim compensation. The government is in a tough spot here. The government has to take the word of farmers that their livestock has been attacked.”
While out deer hunting this week, Davis noted six coyote sightings.
Davis spoke of a sheep farmer near Scotland who began the year with 40 head. Thanks to coyote predation, this farmer was able to bring two sheep to market and received compensation for the loss of two others. The remainder disappeared into the coyote food chain, forcing this farmer to find another line of work.
Farmers responding to the demand for free-range chickens and eggs also have been affected.
Foxes, weasels, coyotes and other predators will make short work of free-range poultry if given the opportunity. As with sheep and cattle, predators often leave little or no evidence behind that these birds ever existed.
Compensation for a dead calf ranges from $250 to $500 per animal. Sheep are in the range of $70 to $250.
Davis knows of one farmer who bought two expensive calves for breeding purposes. Coyotes killed both. The farmer is seeking $6,000 per animal but has yet to hear back from the ministry.
“Compensation claims are going back and forth too many times,” Davis said. “They always say they need more evidence. It’s frustrating for farmers. They can’t wait weeks or months for compensation. It’s just not straightforward anymore.”

TOKYO: Asian shares rallied and the dollar firmed on Tuesday after North Korea's leader signaled that he would delay plans to fire a missile near Guam, further easing tensions and prompting investors to move back into riskier assets.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan edged up 0.2 percent, with South Korea up 0.6 percent and Australia 0.7 percent.
Japan's Nikkei stock index rose 1.2 percent, with a tailwind from a weaker yen. The yen tends to gain in times of crisis on assumptions that Japanese investors will repatriate assets.

Question: 8-month-old baby girl dies after she was attacked by pet dog in Florida

Pitt Bull in a rage .
Beaubizz, Getty Images/iStockphoto
An 8-month-old baby girl died Wednesday in Miramar, Fla., after she was attacked by a family dog, local police said.
The infant was in the care of her grandmother at the time of the attack, Miramar Police Officer Yessenia Diaz told USA TODAY.
The family owns three pit bulls — a mother, one male sibling and one female sibling. The grandmother was walking the dogs when the male dog, which police said was 3 or 4-years-old, got away from her and attacked the baby who was bobbing in a bouncy chair in one of the bedrooms.
The family raised the male dog who attacked the child from a puppy. Broward County and Animal Care and Adoption officials removed all three dogs. Diaz said the dog that attacked would "most likely" be put down, but it would depend on the result of an evaluation by animal control experts.
Police withheld the identity of the victim and her family because the parents asked for time to inform other relatives, the Sun Sentinel reported.
Police were the first to arrive. When fire and rescue officials got to the scene, they declared the child dead, Diaz said.
Diaz said that a victims services unit was made available to provide counseling and support not only to the child's family but also to the first responders at the scene.
"Who isn't going to be affected by that, especially when they're looking at the crime scene?" Diaz asked.

Liverpool look set to miss out on another summer signing as reigning Premier League champions Chelsea prepare a £50m offer for wantaway Southampton star Virgil van Dijk.
The Dutchman has handed in a transfer request at St Mary's Stadium and but for some naive negotiating tactics from Liverpool, Van Dijk would likely have already left the south coast for Merseyside this summer.
Additionally, Manchester City have asked to be kept updated with the 26-year-old's future, although the Sky Blues are yet to launch a concrete offer for the Southampton star, according to the Mirror.
Chelsea manager Antonio Conte, along with technical director Michael Emenalo, is a fan of the Dutch international and following the Blues 3-2 defeat to Burnley on the opening day of the season, any potential move to bring Van Dijk to Stamford Bridge will likely be accelerated.
Having already confirmed the signing of German international Antonio Rüdiger for £31m, as well as integrating Andreas Christensen into the squad after two years on loan in Germany, Conte clearly wants to improve his side's defensive capabilities.
Although Chelsea conceded just 33 goals last season, Conte's emphasis on defence has been seen throughout his managerial career.
Last season saw the likes of Victor Moses and Marcos Alonso, two players who have previously failed to establish themselves in the Premier League, thrive in Conte's system

Question: This Night Owl Gene Mutation Turns People Into Sleep Martians

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Researchers have found a genetic mutation that turns people into Martians — at least when it comes to sleep patterns.
People with the mutation tend to be night owls because it keeps them on a perpetual 24 ½ hour schedule — close to the Martian 24 hour, 39 minute day, researchers reported in the journal Cell.

With their body clocks always running a little longer than everybody else's, it's like having perpetual jet lag, the researchers at the Rockefeller University report.
"Carriers of the mutation have longer days than the planet gives them, so they are essentially playing catch-up for their entire lives," said Alina Patke, who headed up the research effort.
Related: Night Owls Are More Likely to be Jerks
About 1.2 percent of people carry one or two copies of the mutation, so it doesn't explain why so many people are night owls. But it's one of many known to change the body's internal clock, the so-called circadian rhythm.

It's one of several causes of delayed sleep phase disorder (DSPD).
"It's as if these people have perpetual jet lag, moving eastward every day," said Michael Young, who oversaw the study. "In the morning, they're not ready for the next day to arrive."
“ It’s as if these people have perpetual jet lag, moving eastward every day.”
The mutation is in a gene called CRY1 and when people have it, every cell in their body runs on the wrong time. They can end up being night owls but often, the effects are much more disruptive, Patke said.
"For some, it causes a fragmented sleep. They actually went to bed rather early. They only slept for about two hours. Then they took long naps throughout the day."
Related: Cancer Hijacks Cells' Internal Clocks
Circadian rhythm affects more than just sleep patterns. The people with the mutation also have disrupted cycles of body temperature, and Patke's team wants to study other effects — such as the risks of various diseases.
The team found six Turkish families affected by the mutation. It didn't matter whether people had one or two copies of the mutated gene, it affected circadian cycles in the same way.
Patke described the case of one 46-year-old American volunteer who stayed in her team's sleep clinic for three weeks to be studied.
“ Her internal clock is one closer to one from another planet.”
She stayed in a studio apartment with no outside cues about time — no windows, no clocks, no television or internet access.
"They didn't know what time of day it was," Patke said. "The idea was to see what they lived like when they were just controlled by their own clock."
Related: Here's Why Coffee Keeps You Up at Night
The volunteers, including the woman, didn't sleep eight hours straight. Instead, she slept in fits and starts, although the normal sleep brain wave rhythms were typical, with the usual transitions into and out of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
Left to their own natural devices, they had a 24 ½ hour daily schedule.
"Her internal clock is one closer to one from another planet," Patke said.
That might help some people who want to work at NASA, Patke joked. "I remember reading that for people who control these Mars rovers at JPL (NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory), they have to work on a Mars sol (day) cycle. The rovers are only active when the sun shines on Mars," she said.
NASA may even want to recruit people with the mutation to eventually travel to Mars, so they'd be less prone to the jet lag that will almost certainly affect Mars visitors.
Related: Teens Need to Sleep In
"Somebody who has that mutation might be well suited as a volunteer but there may be more factors that go into that," Patke said.
Patke is herself a night owl and tested herself for the genetic mutation. She doesn't have it.
Other genetic mutations almost certainly underlie tendencies to be morning larks or night owls. And there are ways to cope.
"An external cycle and good sleep hygiene can help force a slow-running clock to accommodate a 24-hour day," Patke said. "We just have to work harder at it."

Question: Charlottesville attack: Homegrown terror on the right is on the rise in US

The attack in Charlottesville, Virginia, in which a man named used his Dodge Challenger as a weapon against a crowd of protesters, underscores the growing violence of America’s far-right wing.
According to reports, Fields was a active member of an online far-right community. Like many other far-right activists, he believes that he represents a wider ideological community, even though he acted alone.
My 15 years experience of studying violent extremism in Western societies has taught me that dealing effectively with far-right violence requires treating its manifestations as domestic terrorism.
In the wake of the Charlottesville attack, the Department of Justice announced it would launch a federal investigation:
“…that kind of violence, committed for seeming political ends, is the very definition of domestic terrorism.”
This acknowledgment may signal that a growing domestic menace may finally get the attention it deserves. While attacks by outsider Jihadist groups will probably continue, domestic terrorism still deserves more attention than it’s getting.
Domestic terrorism
Terrorism is a form of psychological warfare. Most terrorist groups lack the resources, expertise and manpower to defeat state actors. Instead, they promote their agenda through violence that shapes perceptions of political and social issues.
Fields’ attack, if it was motivated by racist sentiments, should be treated as an act of domestic terrorism. Here I define domestic terrorism as the use of violence in a political and social context that aims to send a message to a broader target audience. Like lynching, cross-burning and vandalizing religious sites, incidents of this kind deliberately aim to terrorize people of color and non-Christians.
I consider domestic terrorism a more significant threat than the foreign-masterminded variety, in part because the number of domestic terror attacks on U.S. soil is greater. For example, my report published by the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point identified hundreds of domestic terror incidents taking place between 2008 and 2012.
Another report, published in 2014 by New America Foundation on domestic incidents of extremist violence, shows that excluding the Orlando nightclub massacre, between 2002-2016, far-right affiliated perpetrators conducted 18 attacks that killed 48 people in the United States. Meanwhile, terrorists motivated by al-Qaida’s or the Islamic State’s ideology killed 45 people in nine attacks.
The Orlando mass shooting, given its mix of apparent motives, is difficult to categorize.
A spontaneous appearance
In briefings with law enforcement and policymakers, I have sometimes encountered a tendency to see U.S. right-wing extremists as a monolith. But traditional Ku Klux Klan chapters operate differently than skinhead groups, as do anti-government “patriot” and militia groups and anti-abortion extremists. Christian Identity groups, which believe Anglo-Saxons and other people of Northern European descent are a chosen people, are distinct too.
Certainly, there is some overlap. But these groups also differ significantly in terms of their recruitment styles, ideologies and whether and how they use violence. Across the board, undermining the threat they pose requires a more sophisticated approach than investigating their criminal acts as suspected hate crimes.
In an ongoing study I’m conducting at the University of Massachusetts Lowell with several students, we have determined that, as it seems to be also in the case of Fields, many attacks inspired by racist or xenophobic sentiments are spontaneous. That is, no one plans them in advance or targets the victim ahead of time. Instead, chance encounters that enrage the perpetrators trigger these incidents.
Sporadic attacks with high numbers of casualties that are plotted in advance, such as Dylann Roof’s murder of nine African-Americans in a Charleston, South Carolina church, are always big news. More typical incidents of far-right violence tend to draw less attention.
The fatal stabbing of Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche and Rick Best aboard a train in Portland, Oregon on May 26 seems to be no exception. The alleged killer of these two white men, Jeremy Joseph Christian, attacked them with a knife after they stood up to him for haranguing two young women who appeared to be Muslim, police said. A third injured passenger, Micahel Fletcher, has survived. Much of the media coverage is focused on Christian’s violent and racist background.
Given the spontaneous nature of so much far-right violence, U.S. counterterrorism policies should, in my view, target the dissemination of white supremacist ideology, rather than just identifying planned attacks and monitoring established white supremacy groups.
An iceberg theory
The number of violent attacks on U.S. soil inspired by far-right ideology has spiked since the beginning of this century, rising from a yearly average of 70 attacks in the 1990s to a yearly average of more than 300 since 2001. These incidents have grown even more common since President Donald Trump’s election.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit that researches U.S. extremism, reported 900 bias-related incidents against minorities in the first 10 days after Trump’s election – compared to several dozen in a normal week – and found that many of the harassers invoked the then-president-elect’s name. Similarly, the Anti-Defamation League, a nonprofit that tracks anti-Semitism, recorded an 86 percent rise in anti-Semitic incidents in the first three months of 2017.
Beyond the terror that victimized communities are experiencing, I would argue that this trend reflects a deeper social change in American society.
The iceberg model of political extremism, initially developed by Ehud Shprinzak, an Israeli political scientist, can illuminate these dynamics.
Murders and other violent attacks perpetrated by U.S. far-right extremists compose the visible tip of an iceberg. The rest of this iceberg is under water and out of sight. It includes hundreds of attacks every year that damage property and intimidate communities, such as the attempted burning in May of an African-American family’s garage in Schodack, New York. The garage was also defaced with racist graffiti.
Data my team collected at the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point show that the significant growth in far-right violence in recent years is happening at the base of the iceberg. While the main reasons for that are still not clear, it is important to remember that changes in societal norms are usually reflected in behavioral changes. Hence, it is more than reasonable to suspect that extremist individuals engage in such activities because they sense that their views are enjoying growing social legitimacy and acceptance, which is emboldening them to act on their bigotry.
Budget cuts
Despite an uptick in far-right violence and the Trump administration’s plan unveiled earlier this year to increase the Department of Homeland Security budget by 6.7 percent to US$44.1 billion in 2018, the White House also proposed to cut spending for programs that fight non-Muslim domestic terrorism.
The federal government has also frozen $10 million in grants aimed at countering domestic violent extremism. This approach is bound to weaken the authorities’ power to monitor far-right groups, undercutting public safety.
How many more innocent people like Heather Heyer, who was killed in Fields’ attack – and Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche and Rick Best in Seattle – have to die before the U.S. government starts taking the threat posed by violent white supremacists more seriously?

James Baldwin once said that to be black in America is to live in a constant state of rage.
Rage, not just about modern expressions of inequality, but about its roots and persistence. Rage about the slow pace of progress and the many obstacles that get put in the way of that progress, over and over. Rage about 200 years of slavery, another hundred of Jim Crow, and 50 years since of fits and starts untangling the nation’s legacy of white supremacy, and the infuriating insistence that, suddenly, we ought simply stop talking about that legacy in order to move past it.
Baldwin’s quote was manifest of all that – a sweeping statement of collective understanding and intention.
But think of how infrequently we see that rage expressed, in explicit terms, against the perpetrators of inequality.
Can you imagine, for instance, a group of six or seven hundred black men gathering to march and chant about their anger? Can you imagine them grabbing torches, going to a public square, and stomping around, loudly intoning about black power and nationalism, about how America’s institutions are still freighted with the stench of historical bigotry?
What would the response look like from local police? A shrug, or a nod to the idea that this is acceptable political speech.
And if it turned violent, would the President of the United States feebly mouth something about evil on “many sides”?

There are many lessons to draw from what happened in Charlottesville over the past weekend – not least of which is the emboldened face of racist expression – but the one that stands out is imbalance.
We live in a nation where aggrieved African Americans are told, pretty routinely, to watch themselves and not get out of line. Lawful acts often lead to violent responses or death, as we have seen so often with the unjustified police shootings captured on video.
Detroit Today: We fear, watch, shudder and wait.
Stephen Henderson: Police shootings hearken to era of Emmett Till
More: Shooter sympathized with Neo-Nazi movement, says teacher.
But a group of torch-bearing white men can assemble and march and chant racist slogans, and it’s seen as a “protest,” not a riot.
And there’s the imbalance of mooring here, too. Black rage, as Baldwin said, has its roots in history and the present.
But what, precisely, is the source of the raucous white rage we saw on display in Charlottesville?
The marchers wore shirts that said “White Lives Matter,” and said over and over, “You will not replace us.”
But when have white lives not mattered in America because they were white? And who exactly is “replacing” white Americans at the height of hegemony in our culture?
The march was ostensibly about the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee that stands in a public square and may be removed.
But removing the statue of a white supremacist (and, by the way, insurrectionist) from public grounds is not an assault on “whiteness,” the way America has been, since its inception, an assault on black equality and dignity.
America’s original, sinful path of racial subjugation and oppression can’t be compared to white fear of the push for equality.
They simply aren’t the same thing.
And yet, there is a false equivalency afoot in the very logic that inspired the bigoted rally in Charlottesville, and it is not isolated to this garish and haughty display of hatred.
We are increasingly caught in a strange argument about who’s more responsible for American racism, as though African Americans have ever had power, as a group, to pursue the kind of bigotry that has marked American policy since the original constitution.
Let’s go back, just for a second, to the most recent presidency.
When President Barack Obama, who only spoke sporadically about race during his eight years in office, said he could relate to the fear that black families felt after Trayvon Martin – the black teenager killed by a vigilante in Florida – lost his life, white critics decried his “racializing” of the moment.
It was as if the weight of history’s delisting of the importance of black life connected in no way to what happened, and Obama was somehow wrong for drawing a parallel.
Why? Obama’s carefully chosen words were mere acknowledgment of truth: that if he had a son, he might face the same peril that Martin did.
And yet, the current president – elected by a minority of voters – courted bigoted votes during the campaign, has filled the White House with white nationalist thinkers like Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller, and continues to flippantly talk about racial oppression as though it’s cute, or funny.
The Justice Department has dissolved efforts to work with police departments to stop unconstitutional dragnetting of black men, or excessive use of force. And his White House has threatened to walk back provisions that provide the kind of opportunity that counters the nation’s history of inequality.
His actions are overtly tailored to reinforce the idea that racial imbalance is defensible, and needs girding. His presence in the White House, from which he cannot only enact policy but also help shape the national conscience, represents an emboldening of white rage. That’s what we saw in Charlottesville.
Is he facing, in any way, the same backlash Obama got for his tepid comments? Is he being faulted for “racializing” the conversation?
It’s not just an intellectual double-standard, but a moral one. A president who embraced equality, and spoke out tepidly to appease those who believed any show of black consciousness on his part was itself racist, was followed by a president who has welcomed bigotry into the White House and courted support from its corners.
And much of America seems unfazed.
The nation has slipped into a far darker era, and Charlottesville is likely just the beginning.

Mark Wahlberg Celtics Should Trade #1 Pick ... Bring On Jimmy Butler!
EXCLUSIVE
Don't pack for Beantown just yet, Markelle Fultz ... if Mark Wahlberg has his way you'll NEVER be a Celtic, cause he tells TMZ Sports the C's should swap the #1 pick for his boy, Jimmy Butler.
Or another big star ...
We got Wahlberg out in NYC and asked him about the Celtics' envious dilemma, whether to use the #1 pick in this year's draft on a college stud (probably Fultz) or trade for an elite NBA player.
Mark -- a huge Celtics fan -- made his position clear, he wants to slang the pick, and wouldn't mind getting his good friend -- and Bulls star -- Jimmy Butler back in return.
Your move, Danny Ainge ... second place for next five years could be yours.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — DeMarcus Cousins will spend the rest of the 2016-17 NBA season walking on eggshells.
Having already served a league-mandated suspension for accruing 16 technical fouls, Cousins faces subsequent one-game bans for every two additional violations. Subduing emotion has always been difficult for the All-Star big man, but now the penalty for failure is more severe than ever.
Every incident that could produce a shout, scowl or diatribe against officials suddenly comes at a steeper price. Errant hands to the face of Donatas Motiejunas get extra scrutiny, for example. Reactions to low blows from Buddy Hield, obvious no-calls and every other potential outburst could result in another team-crippling suspension.
And you'd better believe it's weighing on Cousins.
"I don't know how to be myself anymore," he said softly from his locker stall at the Golden 1 Center on Friday night.
The Kings had just engineered a 22-point comeback to steal a win from the visiting Atlanta Hawks, but more importantly, it was Cousins' first night back from his initial suspension. He admitted the threat of future discipline affected his performance. Hence the miniature existential emergency.
"It's well known I'm a very emotional player," Cousins later explained to Bleacher Report. "I play with a lot of passion, a lot of emotion. I know that's what makes me the player that I am. When I'm kind of crucified for how I play, and they want change, it's hard for me to be the same type of player...It's just me trying to find the balance. I'm trying to make the adjustment, I'm trying to make the change for the better."
Can he sustain his productivity while snuffing out the fire that led to his suspension? And can he do it as the pressure of the season's stretch run intensifies?
Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images
Cousins understands the stakes. He knows his team is within sniffing distance of the franchise's first playoff berth since 2007. And he knows one game lost to suspension here or there could be the difference between reaching what he's called his only goal and falling short again.
"The guy's trying so hard," head coach Dave Joerger said. "He's an emotional player, so it's like he's playing with one hand behind his back if he can't ever say anything. He doesn't want to hurt the team. He doesn't want to get another technical."
Cousins survived the comeback win against Atlanta without incurring tech No. 17, but it was no easy thing. He was sluggish, visibly frustrated and unable to hide the strain of, well...restraint. Is his effectiveness divisible from his emotion?
"I'm dealing with my own demons right now," he said. "I've got to focus on what's going on at the moment, and I did a terrible job of that."
Two nights later, Cousins was assessed a first-quarter technical foul for an errant swing of the arm that caught New Orleans Pelicans forward Motiejunas in the face. In order to compose himself, Cousins actually left the floor and went to the locker room.

"It was kind of hard for me with that one because of the situation that had just occurred where I come back and the slightest thing and I'm back (facing suspension)," Cousins said. "It's hard, but I had to gather myself, refocus and get back to the main objective which is winning the game. I've got to walk the straight and narrow. It's all I can do."
Sacramento won that game as well, getting 28 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists from its best player—despite an ejection-triggering groin shot from Pelicans guard Hield. It was as if the basketball gods were testing Boogie. To his credit, he passed. Plenty of players with less volatile reputations would have snapped in that situation.
But so many more games lie ahead. So many more trials have yet to be undertaken. And, again, Cousins' margin for error is basically nil.
How he handles the challenge he's helped create for himself (despite protestations about unfair treatment from officials, he is partly responsible for his situation) will either signal the kind of growth so many have been waiting to see or reaffirm the doubts that have dogged him for years.
Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images
He'll have help.
"I lean on all my teammates, not just Matt (Barnes). But he is the voice of our team. Everybody leans on Matt when times get hard because he's been through it all, seen it all on all levels."
Barnes, like Cousins, is no stranger to image problems.
"He's got a tough rap—the reputation he's earned," Barnes told ESPN-Tencent's Yuan Fang. "Whether it's good or bad. We both have bad and that took me my whole career to change mine and it hasn't worked. He just has to be able to adjust within his reputation and still be himself. He has to keeps his head."
Barnes has been a calming figure all season, which may seem odd given his volatile reputation. He commands respect like no on else on the roster, and you can see it in the locker room and on the floor. When the Kings found life in the second half against Atlanta, they did so after Barnes gathered his teammates together at the foul line before the third quarter.
When he motioned for a huddle, everyone—Cousins included—hustled over, leaned in close and listened to the veteran as he clapped his hands and exhorted them to perform.
"I thought Matt did a good job of really talking to us the whole game," Darren Collison said. "He was the leader when things weren't going well."
This is about more than Cousins' personal journey, though. The Kings have professed commitment to their big man, with general manager Vlade Divac saying Cousins won't be traded. A contract extension worth upwards of $200 million will likely come by July.
Cousins could validate that faith by adjusting his behavior and upping his level of play. Or he could falter and, in doing so, force the Kings to reconsider their committed stance. Worse still, he might come up short and get that max extension anyway, which would effectively consign Sacramento to another half-decade of maddening sub-mediocrity.
We've seen a lot from DeMarcus Cousins over the last six years.
He's got six weeks to show us something more.

Joerger is loath to play Willie Cauley-Stein with Cousins, which is probably frustrating for fans who'd like to see athleticism like this alongside the proven productivity of an All-Star big man:

But Sacramento's defense has been untenably bad in the 119 minutes the duo has played together, and it's only gotten worse as the season has worn on. In 50 minutes since Jan. 1, the Kings have allowed 118.1 points per 100 possessions with Cousins and Cauley-Stein on the court.
That's not to say Cauley-Stein's without his uses. Lately, his energy and rim-rolling prowess have charged up the Kings' scrappy second unit. He put up 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in a Feb. 8 win over the Boston Celtics.
"He's getting to balls that are outside of his area, and I think he's a lot more comfortable with our defensive schemes and also our offensive schemes where he can find seams to get to the rim."
In limited minutes as part of a unit with Anthony Tolliver, Matt Barnes, Ben McLemore and either Darren Collison or Ty Lawson, Cauley-Stein has solidified himself as a rotation player with upside. That's good timing by him, as Cousins figures to miss a few games before season's end, which will free up minutes in the middle.
Return of the Mac
Does it count as a return if Ben McLemore's viability as an NBA player was never really certain in the first place?
Rather than worry about the details, check this out: McLemore is tearing it up since regaining a role after six consecutive DNPs.
In February, he's averaging 13.3 points per game and hitting 50 percent of his threes. His 22 points and 6-of-10 effort from long distance were vital in Friday's win over Atlanta.
"He's always been a good shooter to me, it was just a matter of time for him to really turn the corner," Darren Collison said. "One thing about Ben, even when he wasn't playing, he was always in the gym. First one in the gym, last one to leave."
Cousins, as you'd expect, was more forthright: "Ben is like a little brother to me. It's bigger than basketball, just to see him remain positive, remain professional through the bulls--t and things not going his way ... I think he's hitting his stride. I think that good karma's coming around for him now."
Digging Holes and Microcosms
It's fitting the Kings are scrambling to make up ground in the West after an uninspiring first half of the season (or 50-plus games, as the case may be). Because that seems to be the way they operate.
Here's proof:
Kings False Starts Quarter Offensive Rating Defensive Rating Net Rating First 100.7 111.9 -11.3 Second 103.5 111.4 -7.9 Third 108.8 104.9 +3.9 Fourth 108.9 105.9 +3.0 NBA.com
On the one hand, failing to show up for games before halftime is a concern. But, on the other, the Kings have been forced to develop resiliency.
"Our fight and our heart is undeniable," Cousins said. "I believe everybody here can agree with me on that. That being said, we can't keep putting ourselves in that position. We gotta make these games easier for ourselves."
Not getting blasted in every first quarter (the Kings lost all three opening periods in their three-game winning streak) would be a good start.

Question: Success and failure don’t last for too long: Kriti Sanon

Actor Kriti Sanon believes there is more insecurity in the acting profession but the only way to survive in the industry is to go with the flow and understand that nothing lasts forever.
An engineering graduate, Kriti became a model before debuting as an actor with “Heropanti” in 2014.
She has since featured in films such as “Dilwale”, “Raabta” and “Bareilly Ki Barfi”.
“There is insecurity and competitiveness here, but that is in every field. Maybe it’s a little bit more here, but that’s the kind of job I’ve chosen for myself. The best way is to go with the flow, be true to yourself and put your 100 per cent, so you don’t regret not doing something you could have,” Kriti told PTI.
The actor says rather than focusing on quantity, one should do a film for the right reasons.
“I realise that success and failure both don’t last for too long, you are as good or bad as your last film. It’s very important to choose the film for the right reason. It’s important to balance things out and not get stuck in one kind of cinema or genre.
“As an actor, it not only helps me grow but also gives the audience to see a different version of you. I’ve always tried to do that.”
The 27-year-old actor, who is the brand ambassador for education New Zealand, launched scholarships and Masters campaign for Indian students at an event last evening.
Kriti, who holds a B Tech degree, says learning is a constant in life as that helps one to evolve.
“I’m learning something new every single day while playing different characters. Like, I am learning about my own processes, what works and doesn’t work for me. With every director, actor you imbibe certain things, learn about the technicalities of filmmaking, especially when you are an outsider.”
Kriti is excited about her line up of films. She has “Arjun Patiala” with Diljit Dosanjh, “Lukka Chuppi” co-starring Kartik Aryan, the comedy franchise “Houseful 4” and Ashutosh Gowariker’s period drama “Panipat” featuring Arjun Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt.
All these films, Kriti says, will keep her on her toes as they are remarkably different from each other.
“‘Arjun Patiala’ had a north Indian dialect, ‘Lukka Chuppi’ is based in Mathura so it has that dialect and for ‘Panipat’, I’ll have to learn Marathi to get that dialect because I play a Marathi princess and ‘Houseful’ has two different eras, exploring that in one film will be exciting and different,” she says.

Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut opened up about her love life and said she has had so many affairs but still after every break-up, she feels like this is the end of her life. She further added that she has never gotten the chance to dump anyone. It has always been her who has been dumped. Taking a dig at her exes, Kangana said that if she called out some names then the audience will be shocked that even this loser has dumped her.

In a conversation with News18 at the Rising India Summit, the leading lady talked about her love life, failed relationships and exes. “I’ve had so many affairs. And after every break-up, I feel like this is the end of my life. This has happened whether I’m 16 or 31,” Manikarnika star Kangana said.
“It’s an amazing experience you feel in every cell of your body, as if it’s is awakened, even if the person is not around. My boyfriends have asked me ‘how do you know everything about my life. It’s black magic. It’s telepathic.’ It’s how I love. And if my love is psycho, then it’s fine. I’ll find someone else. I am fine being called a witch,” she said taking a dig at her ex Adhayan Suman. Talking about break-ups, Kangana revealed that she has never been a heartbreaker. “I’ve never gotten the chance or had the privilege to dump anyone. I was always the one who got dumped. If I told you some of the names, you’d be shocked that even this loser has dumped me. They come back but then I can’t take them back, because by then I’ve moved on to another loser, Kangana added.

Question: UW-Waukesha’s theatre department auditions for "The Women of Lockerbie" by Deborah Brevoort

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title.

Event time: Auditions (by appointment) take place in the afternoon or evening of Tuesday, January 31 and Wednesday, February 1
The University of Wisconsin-Waukesha’s theatre department is holding auditions for The Women of Lockerbie by Deborah Brevoort, a play described by Variety as "A stunning display of raw emotion, a powerhouse drama, a masterful and cathartic experience.” Auditions (by appointment) take place in the afternoon or evening of Tuesday, January 31 and Wednesday, February 1 in the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre at UW-Waukesha, 1500 N. University Drive, Waukesha.
Loosely inspired by a true story, the production is a poetic drama about the triumph of love over hate. A mother from New Jersey roams the hills of Lockerbie Scotland, looking for her son’s remains, which were lost in the crash of Pan Am 103. She meets the women of Lockerbie, who are fighting to obtain the clothing of the victims found in the plane’s wreckage. The women are determined to convert an act of hatred into an act of love.
There are roles for five women (age 18 and up) and two men (age 18 and up), all types and ethnicities. Auditions are open to UW-Waukesha students and community members. There are also opportunities off stage as well, and college credit is available for participation.
To arrange an audition appointment and to read the play in advance, contact director Steve Decker (steven.decker@uwc.edu, 262.521.5209). Auditions will consist of readings from the script. Rehearsals are mainly scheduled during evening hours on week nights.
Four performances for “The Women of Lockerbie” are planned for Thursday-Saturday, March 9, 10, and 11 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, March 12 at 2:00 p.m. All performances take place in the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre on the UW-Waukesha campus, 1500 N. University Drive. Each year, the UW-Waukesha Lunt-Fontanne Ensemble presents a wide variety of productions. As a college theatre program, education is the primary goal, and shows are produced in a variety of genres.

Question: Surrey mayor asks feds for $10M to combat gang problems

this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

The mayor of Surrey says she will ask the federal government for $10 million in funding for anti-gang programs in British Columbia’s fastest-growing city, where people are dealing with “emotional upheaval” after recent acts of gun violence.
Linda Hepner said Tuesday the money would be spent over five years after a task force aimed at preventing gang violence issued a report with six recommendations, including an expanded gang exit and outreach program that has been led by a combined police and border services unit for about 18 months in the province.
“We first piloted it and it’s the only one in the country that I know of,” Hepner said.
“In less than two years, it’s actually worked with more than 100 people that are in gangs. They’ve actually now got a chance to be part of a gang free future but that is in jeopardy because we need funding for that.”
Hepner said “dozens” of people have left gangs because of the program, which the province has committed to funding until the end of the year.
Surrey residents have held anti-violence rallies calling for action, including more RCMP officers, after two teenage boys were recently found shot to death on a rural road and a father and hockey coach was gunned down outside a home.
The task force, which Hepner led after launching it last October, also recommended more police enforcement and the launch of an initiative that would allow nightclubs and other businesses to ban alleged gangsters.
The expansion of early intervention programs to deter children from entering the gang lifestyle was among the recommendations, and Hepner said some kids lured into gangs are as young as 10 and come from a range of backgrounds.
“The profile is so different in British Columbia than anywhere else in North America,” she said. “They could be affluent, they could be poor, they could be middle income. They run the gamut here.”
Hepner said youths are joining gangs for difference reasons.
“Generally, those that are more affluent are out for glory and glamour,” she said. “The ones that are in more vulnerable economic circumstances have often been subject to trauma. Lots of them are subject to seeing domestic abuse, some of them not feeling that they fit in culturally and don’t feel part of the community.”
Other recommendations include the development of strategies to help at-risk children and their families, as well as stronger neighbourhood-based and culturally appropriate programs.
The mayor is also calling for more funding from the provincial government.
The Public Safety Ministry announced $1.12 million in funding Tuesday to expand an anti-bullying program based in schools called Expect Respect and a Safe Education, or ERASE, in communities across the province where gang-affiliated behaviours have been identified. It said the strategy is designed to prevent, identify and stop harmful behaviours, whether they occur in school or online.
The task force in Surrey included citizens, people from the business community, police and a local member of Parliament. It said RCMP statistics suggest gang members involved in conflicts between 2014 and 2016 were age 23 on average and had committed their first criminal offence at the average age of 16.

Like the provincial budget next week, the Throne Speech read Tuesday by Lieutenant-Governor Judith Guichon offers a look at likely themes B.C.’s governing Liberals plan to target during the spring election campaign. Premier Christy Clark will be seeking a fifth consecutive term for her party.
Gary Mason: What the Throne Speech doesn’t tell you about B.C.

Here’s are a look at some of the major issues in the speech:
Time to give back
The speech’s overarching theme is that it’s time to repay British Columbians for their sacrifices during difficult times. The province’s economy is strong, the speech says, which means the government can spread the wealth to taxpayers. Next week’s budget – which will only pass if the Liberals win re-election in May – will be balanced for the fifth year in a row, and the B.C. economy is among the country’s strongest.
However, there is no hint in the speech of just what that payback might look like. Possibilities include a cut to the provincial sales tax, or a change to (or even elimination of) provincial health-care premiums. Neither would be cheap.
The government may also consider tinkering with income tax, BC Hydro electricity rates or lowering premiums at the Crown-owned Insurance Corp. of B.C.
After years of sacrifice by all of us in British Columbia through challenging times, working together with a plan, your government is now in a position to pay you back, to relieve some financial burdens, and to invest in your household and in your families.
Housing

Housing affordability in the Vancouver region, where house prices have skyrocketed by more than 40 per cent and where detached houses now fetch well over a million dollars, has been one of the most talked-about issues this past year, and it’s likely to factor heavily into the spring campaign.
The government has introduced a series of policies designed to cool the housing market and make it easier for people to graduate from renting to owning. They include a tax on foreign buyers in the Lower Mainland and a new loan program to help first-time buyers with their down payments. The Liberals will argue its policies are working – the Vancouver-area housing market has been showing signs of softening for months.
This [the loan program] is an investment in British Columbians who are starting their adult lives, working hard, saving a down-payment for their first home. They can now count on the government to match their investment to build their savings.
Education
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled against the B.C. government last year in a case involving its teachers that could end up costing hundreds of millions of dollars.
The B.C. Teachers’ Federation successfully challenged legislation in 2002 that removed language related to class size and composition from teachers collective agreements.
The province and the union announced a $50-million agreement last month that will support the hiring of as many as 1,100 teachers. But that’s only an interim arrangement until a permanent – and far more costly – response to the court ruling can be ironed out. The Throne Speech acknowledged the court loss, which will also loom large over next week’s budget and the election campaign.
The Supreme Court has spoken. Your government is committed to working in good faith with our teachers to put our students first.
Overdose crisis

As an overdose crisis fuelled by powerful opioids such as fentanyl spreads across the country, British Columbia continues to be hardest hit. More than 900 people died of overdoses in the province last year, and that pace appears to be getting worse.
British Columbia declared a public-health emergency last year and has been implementing measures to respond to the crisis, including expanding the availability of naloxone, which can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose; setting up spaces where drugs users can inject; pushing for more formal supervised-injection sites; and continuing an earlier plan to increase addiction-treatment beds. However, the government’s critics, including Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, say the province is still not doing enough.
The Speech says the government is ready to do more, though it does not offer any specifics.
British Columbia was the first province to declare a public health emergency for fentanyl, and the first to deregulate life-saving naloxone kits, and get them into the hands of first responders and at-risk British Columbians.
Softwood lumber
The province’s forestry industry, which has been struggling in recent years, is bracing for a potential trade war with the United States over softwood lumber. The 2006 Canada-U.S. softwood-lumber deal has expired, and a one-year agreement that has kept the dispute at a standstill expired last October.
Looking ahead at what are expected to be contentious negotiations with the new administration of U.S. President Donald Trump, the B.C. government announced the appointment Tuesday of an envoy to Washington to represent the province’s interests. David Emerson is a former federal cabinet minister and former chief executive of Canfor, one of the province’s largest lumber exporters. He played a key role in securing the 2006 agreement.
B.C. supplies half of Canada’s softwood lumber exports. Your government will name an envoy to Washington to make sure BC has continued access to the American market, working with the forestry sector and the federal government to secure a new agreement on softwood lumber.
What’s missing: Campaign finance reform

The issue of political fundraising was notably absent from the Throne Speech. Premier Christy Clark has been under fire over the past year for holding private cash-for-access fundraisers, as well as for collecting a $50,000 yearly stipend from her party, which prompted allegations it put her in a conflict of interest. Those controversies amplified calls for legislation to ban corporate and union donations, as well as to place limits on the size of donations. A story in The New York Times recently described the province as the “Wild West” of political finance in Canada.
Ms. Clark announced last month that she would no longer collect the stipend but would instead claim expenses for party business. However, she has resisted calls to do more to limit the influence of money in politics, and the government had nothing to offer on the subject in its Throne Speech.
