The non-rational is that thought or action which violates any or all of these requirements. To return to history, it can easily be discovered that a large percentage, a predominant percentage of human action is non-rational. It can further be discovered that a favorite tendency in human thought is to establish "Values", stable and supposedly "eternal" standards of judgement which, if applied to any and all phases of human activity or existance, will enable the individual to determine "desirability" and "undesirability" and "Good" and "Evil". Since it is demonstratable that nothing in nature is stable, it follows that any "Value" or "standard of judgement" which presupposes Stability is invalid. It also follows that any "System" or "Program" or "Theory" in relation to human action which presupposes predominant rationality in human action, is likewise invalid. (An example of invalid "Value" is the so-called "eternal Truth"; an example of invalid "Program" or "Theory" is democracy. It presupposes that large groups of human beings, known as "nations", ar [sic] capable of "rule", democracy requires for its existance [sic] a demonstrated impossibility. That is why, whenever in the course of history, the theory has been attempted in practice, it has very quickly ceased to be "democracy" in anything but name. *) We see as outstanding non-rationalities in human thought and action, the pursuit of Stability, and the search for a single "Value" (or "The Truth"). The pursuit of Stability presupposes an impossible extension into time -- the "permanent society"; the "law that shall endure forever"; the governments and empires and new calendars; the physical wonders of the world. And the search for the single "Value" or "Pattern of History" presupposes an undemonstratable dead center, unchanging, from which all changes can be observed and charted, and predicted, even unto the tangled pattern of human rationality/non-rationality. We know of pronouncements of Stability in regard to civilizations and physical wonders of the world, which exist in fragmentary records, or which still stand, as the pyramids, "stable" in relation to an individual's time-span, but passing away even as the individual. We are familiar with individuals and groups who announce they have found the "pattern", whether it be a God, a religion, or a socio/economico/historical "pattern". (We know, too, that in relation to the latter, the procedure of such groups has nearly always been (a) to ignore or tailor facts which did not or do not fit into the pattern (b) to suppress persistent unsquared facts (c) to persecute, *********************************** cussioninthefapamailingsandi'mlookingforwardtowhatthebigbrainswillbe *********************************** * "Democracy" is not to be equated with the "democratic tendency", which is another matter entirely, and which we shall consider in a future article.

Fearing Contagion, Russia Bails Out Bondholders in its Biggest Bank Collapse Yet
by Wolf Richter • Aug 30, 2017 • 56 Comments
"The panicky mood has been dampened down," as other banks are rumored to be teetering.
True to the playbook of bank bailouts, the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) decided to bail out Bank Otkritie Financial Corporation, the largest privately owned bank in the country, and the seventh largest bank behind six state-owned banks.
The Central Bank put in an undisclosed amount of money in return for at least a 75% stake. This is likely to be Russia's biggest bank bailout ever, well ahead of the current record holder, the $6.7 billion bailout of the Bank of Moscow in 2011.
Otkritie and its businesses would operate as usual, the Central Bank said. The banks obligations to creditors and bondholders, which include other Russian banks, would be honored to avoid contagion.
The controlling shareholder of Otkritie bank is Otkritie Holding, with a 65% stake. The bank had grown by wild acquisitions, grabbing other banks, insurers, non-pension funds, and the diamond business of Russia's second largest oil producer Lukoil. Otkritie Holding is owned by executives of Lukoil, state-owned VTB bank, Otkritie, and other companies. So clearly, this bank is too big to fail.
Lukoil is also one of Otkritie's largest clients. So Lukoil CEO Vagit Alekperov said in a statement that he saw no risks for Lukoil associated with the bail out, and that Lukoil supported the Central Bank's decision.
In July, according to Reuters, Kremlin-backed rating agency ACRA downgraded Otkritie to a BBB- rating, citing the "low quality of its loan portfolio."
On August 17, Moody's placed Otkritie on review for possible downgrade, citing two big issues:
"The recent elevated volatility of the bank's customer deposits, which puts pressure on its liquidity position and negatively affects its funding costs"
The bank's "increased involvement in financing the large financial and industrial assets of its controlling shareholder Otkritie Holding."
Since 2013, the Central Bank, which is also the banking regulator, has shut down over 300 Russian banks, trying to clean up the banking sector. In July, it revoked the banking licence of Yugra (or Jugra) Bank, stating that it had falsified its accounts.
On August 18, Fitch Ratings warned about Russian banks in general and about Otkritie in particular:
A flight to quality triggered by depositors' concerns following the withdrawal of Jugra Bank's licence could intensify as the clean-up of Russia's banking sector continues, Fitch Ratings says. This would put some weaker privately owned banks' liquidity at risk.
The clean-up is likely to highlight further problem banks, adding to concerns about weak solvency positions at certain private lenders and uncertainty about how the Central Bank of Russia (CBR) may address these issues.
Otkritie, B&N Bank, Promsvyazbank and Credit Bank of Moscow (CBOM, BB-/Stable) are among the banks that have been subject to Russian media speculation in recent weeks, regarding the liquidity position of some and the potential knock-on effect on others.
The run on deposits was in full swing, and the bank was in collapse mode. In June and July, according to Moody's, Otkritie's depositors yanked out 435 billion rubles ($7.4 billion), or 18% of the bank's total liabilities. According to the Central Bank, between July 3 and August 24, corporate clients yanked out 389 billion rubles, and retail clients yanked out 139 billion. Where were they putting their rubles? State-owned banks and precious metals? In early July, the gold price started taking off.
Reuters notes that ruble liquidity "in the Russian interbank market rose unexpectedly this month as the banking sector started borrowing more from the central bank, seen as a symptom of deteriorating trust in the interbank lending market."
The Central Bank's first deputy chairman, Dmitry Tulin, told reporters that Otkritie's expansion "was financed via borrowing and key risks were taken. The bank's operations are connected to high risks and need to be seriously changed."
The CBR will now assess Otkritie's loan loss provisions and capital, which could take three months. If the capital is "deemed to be in the red," as Reuters put it, Otkritie shareholders would lose all their ownership rights.
On paper the bank didn't looked too bad. For 2016, it had a non-performing loan ratio of 7.5% and Tier 1 capital of 12.3% under Russian accounting standards. This is above the CBR's requirements. But that's on paper. And in reality?
"The capital disclosed in (the previous) reports seems to have been significantly higher than in reality," Tulin said. "At a certain point, the bank owners realized they couldn't solve the issue with capital on their own and turned to the central bank with a proposal to start discussing financial rehabilitation measures."
"Everyone is breathing a sigh of relief," Maxim Ryabov, a trader with Russian brokerage BCS, told the Irish Times. "The panicky mood has been dampened down."
But "the overall situation and the central bank's action raises questions about the quality of the central bank's supervision of one of Russia's largest systemically important lenders," lamented Dmitry Polevoy, chief economist at ING Bank in Moscow.
"The central bank cannot really allow to create an aura of vulnerability around a major bank because there are other banks that are rumored to be in trouble," Lubomir Mitov, chief economist for Central and Eastern Europe at UniCredit, told the Irish Times. "So they basically took the step to ensure that nobody loses their money," he said. "The whole idea is to create some sense of stability in the banking system."
A bank bailout – privatizing profits and socializing losses – solves all problems. According to Tradeweb data, Otkritie's bonds jumped, including its $500 million bond, maturing in April 2019, which soared 34 cents on the dollar – now that the Central Bank declared that bondholders will be made whole, and that bank bondholders are sacred.

Double-dealing, self-dealing, in the Banking Industry? These guys must have read the London, New York, Hong Kong playbook.
Actually it seems more like the S&L 'playbook'.
I'd bet lunch that it's the same clan that runs central banks everywhere.
Gershon says:
So Putin bails out his rapacious oligarchs just like the Fed and middle class taxpayers bail out ours.
There's a lesson there, somewhere.
Putin didnt bail out Ogliarchs. Neither did CBR
CBR bailed out FSB Clan members in an FSB Mafia state.
If you must beat on the Russian's for printing more Worthless Roubles to cover. More Worthless debt.
At least get it Wright
John No doubt brother
Eeesh ! One by one the BRIC's are falling out of the wall … China so far hiding it well … the others : Russia , India and Brazil .. not so much
Sigh .. so much for the myth of the emerging economies and their ability to save us from ourselves .
Cynic says:
In a way, it worked.
They allowed access to a vast pool of cheap labour, the possibility of infrastructure construction with no regard to the environment (or sense), and the ability to manufacture in the most polluting way possible while pretending our hands were clean in that respect.
For a time.
Many in the West would be dressed in rags and starving were it not for this: the person on welfare lives off the labour of the poor elsewhere, and is highly privileged in that respect.
Indeed Cynic but it's coming quickly to an end A messy bloody end I should imagine sadly
upWising says:
"It's really tough being a Cynic these days because it is so much work to keep up!"
Just a reminder that it was the Russian default of 1998, the 'black swan' not forseen by the Nobel prize geniuses behind Long Term Capital Management, that almost collapsed world finance before the next near miss in 2008.
The firm had made bets using derivatives that levered its few billions hundreds of times.
alex in san jose says:
I was going to say, didn't the US's Great Depression of the 1930s kick off with the failing of a large German bank? Trouble overseas can send ripples that land here.
JMiller says:
You are think of the Austrian Bank, Creditanstalt (sometimes referred to as Credit-Anstalt) that failed in 1931. While the bank's failure did not cause the start of the Great Depression, it's failure certainly contributed to making it worse.
Marin Armstrong predicted Russia's collapse in 1998.
So that's Marty's claim to fame Didn't he do some hard time as well for some shenanigans?
The 'smartest' people make the biggest messes. Because they can.
bev kennedy says:
Ha ha! So true
cdr says:
Stealing everything that isn't nailed down is human nature. Just because 'respectable' people at a high level are involved doesn't mean an honest game is being run. Self interest rules. This includes the people who run banks and people who manage the banks overall … aka the Central Banks. Some are crooks and some are enablers who justify their enabling by spinning any excuse that will work at that moment, unfortunately, to support the crooks who look respectable to everyone.
The ECB prints money to keep the plate spinning until it stops. It's the definition of enabler. The Eurozone will end without their enabling. The Fed supports free market globalists who need low rates to support low wages, flexible labor sources, and a skim from a rising equity market. The Swiss national bank prints money to buy equities to protect its positions and avoid financial catastrophe if prices fall.
The Russians are a bit behind the times and appear to be protecting a financial system that may fail due to ordinary crooks. Somewhat refreshing but how they end up in a couple of years is telling. Will their central banks end up as the main house of government like the Fed and ECB have become, or will they put the crooks in jail and run the central bank as a bank and not as the not so invisible hand?
Mike F. says:
Actually all the TBTF (Too Big Too Fail) banks have already been TEMPORARILY bailed out by the crooked FED. Your money is not safe in these banks. It is much safer in cash in a place you feel is comfortable.
Fed insurance will not cover more than 3% of deposits under 250K.
Cash is leveraged 130:1 to electronic deposits…
Welcome to the WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE, THE NEW AGE (Imagine Dragons– Radioactive)
Mike F.,
You are correct. Your money is not safe in those banks. In fact your money is not safe any where. Not even in gold and silver.
However FDIC insurance is not as bad as you make it out to be. Some people think that if just one big bank fails that it will wipe out the FDIC insurance fund. Well that is not really true. If any big bank fails the FDIC has stated that it will create a bridge bank and transfer the insured deposits to the solvent bridge bank which will protect the insured deposits and allow customers to continue to do business as usual. And since the insured deposits are now in a solvent bank there will be no need for the FDIC insurance to pay out any thing. Of course the FDIC does have a line of credit with the Treasury if it needs it. And a taxpayer bailout will happen before one penny is lost to insured depositors. So I am not worried about the FDIC not having the money to pay out to insured depositors. I am worried about hyperinflation, the power grid going down, nuclear war etc… which are real possibilities of happening in the future.
Mike F – I've been around preppers and they are indeed a bunch of loons but that being said, a Carrington event can happen any time, a large earthquake here in California, a power grid downage via an EMP device or more likely, a coordinated attack by white nationalist nutbags, or some weird new disease.
I kind of feel that if things get bad enough for the FDIC to fail, the money they'd protect would be useless anyway.
Preppers are seen as loons because our society is half-mad.
Until very recently, long-life food stocks, water storage, etc. were simply sensible precautions that any established householder took.
War and famine were yearly possibilities, even probabilities.
I'm interested in seeing how the prepper community fares in the Houston disaster. How much did all that preparation really help them survive?
Maximus Minimus says:
The takehome message that has been repeated many times: self fulfilling prophecies prove to be right more often than not. Once bad rumors start circling a bank, only the largest entity in the land can save it, no matter the level of tier 1 capital. This is especially true if the population is cynical and prone to be suspicious of the official story.
Yes, but it looks like its Tier 1 capital, according to the CBR, didn't actually exist.
Wilbur58 says:
Well, we know which model won the Cold War. That's for sure.
I really need to see that movie with the speech from Ned Beatty. I think someone posted a link here not long ago. It's the bit about countries being an illusion and that the world is simply ruled by major corporations, monopolists, oligarchs.
Or for another turn, "Spaceballs, there goes the planet."
"I'm mad a hell .. and l'm Not gonna take it anymore! Say it with me …. I want ALL of you to open your windows, RIGHT NOW! and shout out as loud as you can : I'M MAD AS HELLL! … AND I'M NOT GONNATAKETANYMORE !! …."
that felt kinda good ….. musta been putin's fault ';]
Barring Russia, emerging markets is still where the growth is. Be brave.
michael w Earussi says:
Or be stupid. Sure there's "growth" in 3rd world economies, but where does all that growth go, back into the pockets of the crooks who run that country's system. You just try prying it from their hands and see how well you succeed.
You know what they say about cockroaches….
From "The Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto."
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
The Federal Reserve System, created by the Federal Reserve Act of Congress in 1913, is indeed such a "national bank" and it politically manipulates interest rates and holds a monopoly on legal counterfeiting in the United States. This is exactly what Marx had in mind and completely fulfills this plank, another major socialist objective. Yet, most Americans naively believe the U.S. of A. is far from a Marxist or socialist nation.
Hiho says:
Yeah socialist, sure. Everything you do not underdtand is socialism.
Crony capitalism? Neofeudalism? Naaah socialism.
Dude, the main feature of comunism is public ownership of the means of Production. Do you have that? No? Then describe your system as you wish but it.is NOT socialism.
You are just playing the game of the neoliberals. They skim you, they rob you and in the end the only thing you can say is "so, so socialism!"'. Watch out, there might be a under your bed, are your fluids ok?
The main features of Communism are state ownership of means of production, and…….. terror to keep the population in line.
That is the point at which it makes contact with Totalitarian Fascism and late-stage Capitalism.
It's interesting these days that hardly anyone talks about Totalitarianism.
Most of them don't understand it and its not as hot button/Buzzy a term as.
Fascist, Communist, Socialist, or rich capitalist/1%, or the juvenile "Bankster/s".
American/American English Dominates Blogs and Chats.
A a Language it does not have a very high vocabulary, and its is spelling is ridiculous.
Actually Communism features the workers owning the means of production. I believe state ownership of the means of production is Leninism. The idea was for the gov't to run things as close to Communism is they could while the people de-learned capitalist thought and behavior.
The Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto, by Karl Marx.
Our crony capitalist wonderland is almost there, thanks to our oligarch masters and their Republicrat duopoly.
http://laissez-fairerepublic.com/tenplanks.html
Yes, yes, yes it does try to control interest rates. And so do ALL other central banks. Nor do they allow other parties to print currency.
So maybe the whole world is out of step.
mean chicken says:
Everything you know, is based on lies.
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/taibbi-is-libor-crucial-financial-benchmark-a-lie-w497305
so that's all man? what about the VIX? and what about the Feds use of RRPO (financial repression on steroids to cool off interbank lending (which might tend to establish some real measure of what rates ought to be?) how false is the Feds rate hike cycle? and now that the CBR has bailed out one bank does that give the green light to other banks to ramp up their use of leverage? Unless they learn the tools of financial repression they are heading for a cold cold winter.
a.hall says:
Is it true that Rothschilds own the Russia Central Bank ?
a.hall Yes from what I've read
Italian banks are doing way worse, and Italy haven't had it's own currency in ages thanks to the cursed Euro currency project, so even if Russia crashes first, Italy is doomed. Spain is also not going very well…
So guys take your bets! Who will be the next European country to crash and burn?
It may even be a dominoes effect, were one crashing will drag the rest. Let's hope is not…
ASP says:
"and the diamond business of Russia's second largest oil producer Lukoil."
diamonds and oil?
sounds legit.
Stevedcfc72 says:
Am I right aren't some of the French banks heavily into Russia?
I definitely know Unicredit are one of the bigger players.
Yes, to my understanding, these are the three largest foreign banks in Russia:
1. Unicredit (Italy)
2. AO Raiffeisenbank (Austria)
3. Rosbank (Societe General, France)
They're the next largest banks right behind Otkritie.
And Unicredit has more than a FEW issues in Italy.
If you do a risk reward analysis chinese and russian banks fail miserably.
Due to the clandestine printing of cash, and the CB'S ability to do what it wants, when it wants, in both mafia states.
Is the SNB involved, if the SNB cracks then all those FAANG stocks they are buying with printed money will hit the deck, no bid no offer. i am not worried about North Korea or the tweets of a fool, but the SNB they have my attention
Good idea to keep your eyes on the SNB… and watch the CHF. If it starts backing off against the EUR, the SNB has less reason to buy foreign assets.
The CHF has started backing off massively against the EUR over the past two months.
Meanwhile, Wells Fargo has 'fessed up to creating 3.5 million unauthorized accounts for its "customers" (marks).
Of course, our captured and co-opted regulators, enforcers, and judiciary will continue to turn a blind eye to this and other TBTF bankster scams and swindles.
Perhaps this is as good a place and time as any to ponder a practical question. Which is the more crash proof model of banking: borrowing short and lending long, i.e. relying on customer deposits, or borrowing medium and lending long, i.e. issuing bonds?
Duke DeGuise says:
For me, the money question about Russia is, "What is the net discount of corruption and crisis, relative to the country's unmatched – petroleum, water, timber, minerals, land – resource base?
Give Putin, or whomever is the current Strongman, and his cronies their skim, factor in everyday dysfunction, waste and incompetence, and maybe there's still money to be made by the intrepid.
It is easy to make legal money in russia.
What the FSB Mafia State clans will not let you do, is keep any of it.
Almost all the "Ogliarch's" who made money post 1991, who were not members of the FSB/KGB Mafia Clans. Have been stripped of their wealth. by the FSB Mafia Clans.
BP was shaken down for Billions by them.
If you are not part of the Mob's preferably the Mob in power, (Look what is happening in china as the Xi Clan Ousts those who were in power in the "Corruption Investigation" (AKA Communist Purge)) Russian chaina, Cuba, DPRK, are good places, to stay away from
J henderson says:
Never a truer word
Gold is starting to surge as people belatedly figure out our financial system is a house of cards doomed to collapse under the weight of its own fraud and artifice. While Yellen and her flying monkeys have tried to suppress the price of gold with their incessant jawboning about supposedly pending rate hikes – only to punt time after time – as it dawns on John Q. Public that the Fed is a gang of counterfeiters and racketeers, faith in the dollar is going to tank and Yellen will have no choice but to defend the currency she and her fellow Keynesian fraudsters have so relentlessly debased since 1913, and 2008 in particular.
http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/future/gold
Gold is starting to surge AS fools seking safe haven are willing to pay the untenable manipulated unrealistic prices being demanded for it.
All they big "Gold Bug's"
ARE SELLERS in a false market.
Silver is less than 20 an Oz yet gold is 1200 + that false "Fear divergence" driven by gold bug's, tells you what has, and will happen.
When enough people have been sucked into gold at the ridiculous prices, it will be crashed, by the gold bug's (Like George Sorros), that have driven it up since the late 70'S.
Buy into an Obvious false market at your own peril.
Hey Sparky, a lot more "fools" are going to be rushing for safe haven as geopolitical risk factors like lunatic dictators in North Korea staging nuclear tests reiterate once again that our world is a very uncertain place. I'll be happy to buy into this "false market" as long as Yellen and her ilk are hellbent on printing us down the road to Weimar 2.0.

Last week on a truly beautiful day, we ventured over to East Yonderton Farm near Glasgow Airport and had a fantastic time.
This farm is very popular in the summer as they have lots of produce (berries, peas, potatoes, broccoli) to pick your own. It's right beside Glasgow Airport, meaning you can see planes landing and taking off, which was an absolute dream for my toddler who is transport daft.
We arrived around lunch time and brought a picnic. You can't have a picnic in the farm, but you are allowed to in the car park. Lots of families were taking advantage of this on such a warm day. I should mention here that they have portaloo's in the car park too.
I have a 6 month old and as long as you are happy to get your pram wheels a bit dirty they are happy for you to bring the pram in. I was able to pick rows near the path that meant I could bring the pram right beside the crops.
On your way in there are plastic baskets that you take to put your pickings in. There is a great selection of fruit and veg and my son adored picking the produce. We had fun looking for perfect strawberries and peas. We even picked some gooseberries. There is something really lovely about showing your children where food comes from and it was helpful in the continual war with a very fussy eater.
I had a lovely chat with one of the farmers, who quad bikes around the farm, helping the pickers. He was happy to give you tips on the best part of the field for the crops and tell us when other patches would be ready.
The farmer told me many people enjoy coming for the day, arriving around 10.30am picking fruit, having a break for lunch and then heading back in for the afternoon. There is plenty to do and you really could make a day of it. We were certainly entertained for a good 3 hours and did not get round all the berries.
All of the produce tasted fantastic and being such a lovely day we had to enjoy a bowl of strawberries and ice cream after dinner. We will definitely be heading back in the next week not only for more berries, but the broccoli will be ready then too.

The 1993–94 season was Sport Lisboa e Benfica's 90th season in existence and the club's 60th consecutive season in the top flight of Portuguese football. It involved Benfica competing in the Primeira Divisão and the Taça de Portugal. Benfica qualified for the European Cup Winners' Cup by winning previous Portuguese Cup. It covers the period between 1 July 1993 to 30 June 1994.

The season was marked by the events in his pre-season, as the club only made three signings. More importantly, however, the club lost regular starter Paulo Sousa and common substitute António Pacheco to Sporting CP due to unpaid salaries. Expectations around Benfica were not high, as Sporting and Porto were deemed the main contenders. After a poor start, however, a six-game winning streak granted them the top position in the league table. After going 15 league games unbeaten, a loss in April at Salgueiros and a draw at home against Estrela da Amadora made it necessary to win at the Estádio José Alvalade to retain their first-place position; a hat-trick from João Pinto in a 6–3 win put the title only six points away. On 25 May, a win over Gil Vicente ended the title race, with the club winning a record 30th league title.

Season summary
The season that celebrated its 90th anniversary was also one of the club most tumultuous periods in recent history. In the summer, Paulo Sousa, João Pinto and António Pacheco unilaterally terminated their contracts, claiming unpaid salaries. While Pinto was successfully resigned with a pay increase, both Sousa and Pacheco never went back on their decision, subsequently moving to Lisbon rivals Sporting CP.

Sousa had been a frequent starter for Benfica, playing 35 games in the previous season and having joined the club as a 16-year-old. Pacheco was utilized more as a substitute, but had still amassed over 160 league games for Benfica. The players' "betrayal" and the increase in tension between the old rivals was labelled "Hot Summer of 1993", a clever throwback to the troubled times of the PREC, the post revolution in 1975.

With almost no new signings, and having lost Sousa, Pacheco and Paulo Futre, the team led by Toni was not seen as favourite in the title race. The season opened with the 1993 Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira, and with a win for both sides, a third match would be necessary. In the league, Benfica started by sharing points with Porto in O Clássico, but then tied again against much easier opponents, like Estoril and Beira-Mar; both clubs that played a crucial role in the previous season's title race. On the late part of September, the first win in the Primeira Liga kick-started a series of consecutive wins that helped the club climb from eighth in the league to first. A big loss in Setúbal served as warning, with the Lisbon-side then adding more consecutive wins, opening a three-point gap by the New Year.

In the first month of 1994, the club lost points against Gil Vicente and was eliminated from the Taça de Portugal by Belenenses, though this was not enough to stop their momentum, continuing to defend their first place with consecutive wins. In early March, with successive draws in the league and a hard-fought 4–4 draw in the quarter-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup, the club look like would be surpass by Sporting on the title race, with the distance now reduced to just one point. A loss against Salgueiros in April put both clubs equal on points, while in the European stage, the club was defeated by Parma in the semi-finals.

Benfica entered the Derby de Lisboa on 14 May with just a one-point advantage in the league table, knowing that a loss would cost them first place. João Pinto had one of his best performances with Benfica, scoring a hat-trick that effectively ended the title race in his club's favour. Only a few days later, away against Braga, the club secured its 30th league title, celebrating with the fans at the sold out Estádio Primeiro de Maio.

Carlos Mozer, an undisputed starter during the season, narrated the events in the club almanac: "We won the title with great difficulty, because Sporting had a young but good team, while Porto had the experience. At Benfica, our squad was strong. There were veterans like William, Veloso and Isaías, that taught the younger ones, like Rui Costa or João Pinto; who still had the will and pace to run all game. The coach was Toni, who I knew back from 1989. Benfica did not start well, and amassed three straight draws. Then he started winning in a awful manner. We did not play well, but we were winning games, until the notorious game in Alvalade, the 6–3. Everybody said that Sporting was going to win, because they had a younger team, and we were older; so we would not endure the difficult terrain. When everything looked like to be on their favour; we, with great calm and experience, reversed the game with a great performance from João Pinto. In that season, I also remember the campaign in the Cup Winners' Cup. We reach the semi-finals, after that crazy 4–4 in Leverkusen. We were drawn against Parma, and the Italians were always difficult. We won in the Estádio da Luz, but there, in Italy; I was sent-off early, on the 20th minute, with a double yellow. The first was fair, the second was not. If with eleven players was already hard, with one less, it was even harder."

Phil's running mate, Mike Harmon, is a state representative.
The Obama administration continues to expand the federal government's size, power, and debt, at the direct expense of our personal liberties. Kentucky needs to exercise the rights granted to states in the 9th and 10th amendments of the US Constitution.
The Moffett/Harmon administration will review federal laws and regulations to determine if they are compliant with the US Constitution and Commonwealth's Constitution. If they do not, we will protect our citizens by fighting against them.
Dozens of companies are leaving California, New York, and New Jersey because the business environments not profitable. These companies are not considering Kentucky as their new home.
Why? Kentucky's business environment is not competitive.
Kentucky has 240 different state taxes, fees, surcharges, etc. The Moffett/Harmon administration will replace all of them with a single-rate, consumer sales tax on all goods and services.
No more personal income taxes.
No more corporate/business income taxes.
No more imbedded taxes in products.
No more state property taxes.
You will no longer have to file a state tax return!
Transforming our tax structure to a single-rate, consumer sales tax will make Kentucky the most competitive state in the region, if not the nation, for business growth and new jobs.
It is a simple fact that profitable companies hire more employees. Kentucky needs to be the place where companies can be profitable! Kentucky needs to be the place to get a good job!
One-third of Kentucky's K-12 students drop out. Of those who graduate, 60% need remedial education to get into our Commonwealth's colleges and universities.
When you strip away failure and mediocrity, Kentucky prepares roughly one-of-four students to enter the workforce or enter college.
Our public school system operates on a failed business model. Apparently no one can be held accountable for anything. Schools and Districts blame Frankfort. Frankfort blames the US Department of Education. This has to change.
The Moffett/Harmon administration will strip away the bureaucracy, make districts responsible for school & student performance, and provide parents with public school choice.
To do this, superintendents and principals will have to operate like business owners. They need to have control over all decisions, including personnel. If changes need to be made to improve student performance, they must have authority to make changes.
Our teachers are very capable and need to be in a system that fosters success. Our administration will make this a reality.
Parents have the primary responsibility of educating their children. The Moffett/Harmon administration will allow parents to put their children in the public school they believe is best for their child, regardless of district boundaries. We will make public charter schools available to any community who believes it will be best for their children.
Parental choice means competition. Competition means better quality and lower costs over time. Kentucky's schools certainly need the positive impacts of competition.
Our Commonwealth is drowning in debt. We have over $7 billion in authorized debt. Additionally, we have a $30+ billion underfunded state employee retirement fund. This debt hole is getting deeper by the day and there is no plan in place to stop it.
The Moffett/Harmon administration will appoint a "military base-closing" style commission to look into every corner of state government.
The commission will be chartered with consolidating back office functions and cabinets, eliminating unnecessary programs, and outsource as many state services as possible to private industry thereby creating more jobs.
The savings realized from the commission will be used to eliminate our debt and shore up the pension plan.

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will take a cue from daughter Sasha on where to live after his second term ends in 2017, and that means that they might end up staying in Washington, ABC News reported yesterday.
WASHINGTON � President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will take a cue from daughter Sasha on where to live after his second term ends in 2017, and that means that they might end up staying in Washington, ABC News reported yesterday.
The president�s older daughter, Malia, now 15, will likely be in college, but Sasha, now 12, will still be in high school when the president leaves office.
The Obamas own a home in Chicago, and the president frequently mentions his hometown with affection.
He has been less than complimentary about Washington and its polarized political culture.
The Obamas have been criticized for not socializing as much as other U.S. presidential couples and instead spending much of their free time with family and a group of trusted old friends.
But their daughters, who both attend the private Sidwell Friends School, frequently have friends over to the White House, hosting sleepovers and pajama parties on the third floor, their parents said in the ABC interview.
The president indicated that moving his youngest child to another city when she was in high school might be difficult.
His daughters and wife �have made a lot of sacrifices on behalf of my cockamamie ideas, the running for office and things,� he joked.
Michelle Obama, who has said her most important job is �mom in chief,� has worked to keep her daughters sheltered from the constant media scrutiny of the White House.
She told ABC that she has limited their access to social media, including Facebook.
�I still am not a big believer in Facebook for young people � particularly for them, because they�re in the public eye,� Michelle Obama said.
�Some of it is stuff they don�t need to see and be a part of. � So we try to protect them from too much of the public voice,� she said.
In the interview, Barbara Walters asked the president whether his wife � whose popularity ratings far exceed his � would make a better president than he has.
�That�s an easy question, but she is smart enough to know that she might not want to go through the process,� the president said.

Nejo castle (根城) is located over the river terrace near the mouth of Mabuchigawa river in Hachinohe city. Mabuchigawa river is a one which flows north part of Iwate prefecture toward northeast to the pacific ocean, and an entrance of east half of current Aomori prefecture. Utilizing its geographical condition Hachinohe city is still an important place of communication with many roads and trains, and also prospers as a port city.
About 3,000 years ago, at the time of Jyomon period which is almost equivalent to the Neolithic age, being supported by plentiful marine and forest resources, north part of current Tohoku region is one of the most prosperous area of Japan and there were large ruins such as Sannai Maruyama ruins or Kamegaoka ruins.
But when rice cultivation was brought into Japan around 1th century, as north part of Tohoku region was not suitable for the rice cultivation at that time, and there not rose strong authority such as other part of Japan. After 7th century, Yamato dynasty continuously expand their authority toward this region, after harsh battles, Tohoku region was finally managed by central authority by around 10th century. At first Abe clan was the governor of this region, but in 11th century Oshu Fujiwara clan beat Abe clan and became the ruler of Tohoku region, until its fall by Kamakura Shogunate in 1189.
After the fall of Oshu Fujiwara clan, Yoritomo Minamoto (1147-1199), the founder of Kamakura Shogunate, gave north part of Tohoku region to their retainers. Among such retainers, there was Nanbu clan which grew into a strong warlord.
Nanbu clan was originally a branch family of Minamoto clan stem from Yoshimitsu Minamoto (1045-1127). In 12th century Yoshikiyo Minamoto (1075-1149) came to Kai province (Yamanashi prefecture) and named as Takeda clan, which later became the governor of Kai province and is known for famous warlord in 16th century Shingen Takeda (1521-1573).
Later Toomitsu Kagami (1143-1230), the grandson of Yoshikiyo, held the west edge of current Kofu basin, and his son Mitsuyuki Nanbu (1165-1236) was Nanbu area along Fuji river by his loyalty for Yoritomo Minamoto and Nanbu clan started. Nanbu area is a historical horse breeding area, and this fact strongly affected the character of Nanbu clan. Each son of Mitsuyuki became the descendant of Nejo family which later built Nejyo castle, Sannohe family later became the mainstream of Nanbu clan or Kunohe clan.
Throughout Kamakura era, Nanbu clan served for Kamakura Shogunate as a retainer. It is said that Nanbu clan got the territory just after the fall of Oshu Fujiwara clan, but it is dubious if this story is true, and current Hachinohe area might be directly governed by Hojyo clan, a regent of Shogunate. At the fall of Kamakura Shogunate in 1333, Moroyuki Nanbu (?-1338), leader of Nejo Nanbu clan, participated in anti-Shogunate army and activated at the siege of Kamakura city.
After the fall of Kamakura Shogunate in 1333, new government of Emperor Godaigo (1288-1339) appointed prince Norinaga (1328-1668, later Emperor Gomurakami) and Akiie Kitabatake (1318-1338) as a general commander of Tohoku region and sent them to Tagajyo castle in current Miyagi prefecture.
Moroyuki Nanbu accompanied them and was appointed as a governor of Nukanobu county, a vast area of Pacific Ocean coast including Hachinohe area. As this area was formerly the territory of Kamakura Shogunate there were several resistance of former Kamakura Shogunate retainers, but Moroyuki suppressed these revolts and strengthened his dominance. Based on its origin Nanbu clan might be engaged in breeding military horses here, and these cavalry supported long expedition of Akiie Kitabatake later. It is said that Moroyuki built Nejo castle as his residence in 1334.
Nejo castle is built utilizing natural levee of Mabuchi-gawa river. The central area is reverse L shaped area of 100 meter long and 50 meter wide, and guarded by over 20 meter wide dry mall. At the east of central area Nakadate area (middle area) and Tozenji Yakata area divided by narrow dry moat spreads toward east, and Okamae Yakata area and Sawasato Yakata area are built at the south east. Total size of the castle is about 500 meter long and 300 meter wide, and whole area is surrounded by outer dry mall.
As Nejo castle was not basically involved in the actual battle, the character of the castle is more closer to the residence than the fortress, even though it equips minimum element of the castle such as moats or gates. Central area is built for the usage of Nanbu family, and as a result of archaeological prospection, it is filled with three large residential buildings, warehouses, workshops or stables. At last residential buildings might be rebuilt into a modern Shoin style, but other building kept semi-basement style which stem from medieval era.
Nakadate area might be used as a residence of branch family, and Tozenji area is used for the place of Tozenji temple, the family temple of Nanbu clan as the name shows. There were houses of retainers at Okamae Yakata area and Sawamoto Yakata area, and castle town spread the outer area of the castle. The structure of the castle which is the complex of several separated heights is the same as neighbor castles at same period such as Namioka castle or Kunohe castle, but the order between the area is more clearer than Namioka castle and this shows the strength of the leader in Nanbu clan.
In 1335, Takauji Ashikaga (1305-1358), the leader of distinguished family Ashikaga clan and once supported Emperor Godaigo to beat Kamakura Shogunate, left Emperor's side and established his own government at Kamakura. Next Takauji marched to Kyoto city where Emperor Godaigo stayed. and defeated Yoshisada Nitta (1300-1338), another strong Samirai leader sent by Godaido for subjugation.
Takauji built his won Muromachi Shogunate, and seeing the crisis of Emperor Godaigo, Akiie made long excursion to Kyoto from Tagajyo castle. Moroyuki stayed Tagajyo castle to guard their main base, and kept it until the return of Akiie who once seized Kyoto city and expelled Takauji to Kyushu island.
But next year Takauji who recovered his power at Kyushu island returned to Kyoto and beat general of Godaigo side such as Masasige Kusunoki (1294-1336). Emperor Godaigo left Kyoto city and ran into Yoshino area (Nara prefecture), and built government in exile. Facing this fact, in 1337, Akiie again marched toward Kyoto, and this time Moroyuki accompanied this. They once beat Ashikaga side army and entered into Kyoto city, but next year finally was defeated by Ashikaga army and died in the battle.
After that Hachinohe Nanbu clan still supported Godaigo side and fought with Ashikaga side lords, but the situation became worse and worse. On the other hand, Sannohe Nanbu clan who stayed at Kai province became to be the side of Muromachi Shogunate at the middle of 14th century. At the end of 14th century, under the coordination of Moriyuki Nanbu (1359-1437), Nejo Nanbu clan subordinated to Muromachi Shogunate, and also the leader of Nanbu clan changed to the line of Sannohe Nanbu clan which later built Sannohe castle or Morioka castle.
Hachinohe area was apart from battle front and Nejo Nanbu clan was respected as a original leader, thus Nejo castle was not involved into the battle and kept peace. Nejo Nanbu clan continued as an important retainer of Nanbu clan, but in 1627 Nejyo Nanbu clan was transferred to Tono area, where is the south part of Iwate prefecture known as a village of traditional tales and faces Date domain.
Nejo castle was abolished at that time and ended its history over 300 years. Later Hachinohe domain, a branch domain of Nanbu domain, was established, but they did not use Nejo castle and newly built Hachinohe castle in the center of the city.
As Nejo castle was not reformed into a modern castle and respected as a original place of Nanbu clan, it well keeps ruin of medieval era. Core area of the castle becomes a historical park, and after 11 years investigation buildings of medieval area were rebuilt. In addition to this, gate of Hachinohe castle which is said to be moved from Nejo castle was transferred to Nejo castle again. Other than Namioka castle or Kunohe castle which had the gruesome history, Nejo castle is a happy castle which ended its role peacefully, and visitors can feel the eternity of the time.

The Arts and the Spirit Committee of Christ Church Greenwich is pleased to announce an extraordinary event taking place this November 8-11: Follow the Star: Nativities of the World.
Join us for an exhibit featuring 100 unique crèche scenes from around the world!
Meet our new Rector The Rev'd Marek Zabriskie! Enjoy cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, live music, and a private preview of the show.
Enjoy LIVE MUSIC during your visit!
Admission: $10 for adults; $5 for teens; free for younger children.
On Saturday and Sunday the photographer Marilyn Roos will be taking family portraits for an additional discounted fee!
Proceeds from this event will benefit our non-profit partners Neighbor to Neighbor and Domus Kids. A portion of the ticket cost is tax deductible for the full amount allowable under IRS regulations.
The nativity scenes in this exhibit come from around the world. Some are sophisticated, hauntingly lovely works of art, created by master craftsmen. Others are done by simple artisans, who use locally available materials to tell the story the only way they know how, in terms of their own lives – where they live and what flora and fauna flourish there, as well as what their families and neighbors look like, wear and value.
While the differences between the scenes provide a fascinating study in cross-cultural anthropology, what unites them is far more significant. Together they reinforce the universality of the life-changing story of the birth of Jesus Christ, serving as vivid reminders that He came to save us all.
This marks the 10th anniversary of the successful original show which took place in 2008. Christ Church Greenwich is blessed to have parishioners with priceless collections of nativity scenes from all over the world – as well as friends in the community who will be donors. This year we are excited to be working with other churches.

I promised you back in October that I would show you some progress on my little dino.
Well Alan was finished in November, so it is certainly on time you meet him. Shaun named him, and after a few different names, he settled on Alan.
Alan is by no means perfect, but he is adorable I think. I don't think attaching limbs to an amigurumi will ever be a favourite thing of mine, and I am not sure a project like this with all those spines were the most brilliant place to start.
But here he is, all ready to explore the world!

Carl L. Hall
Carl LeRoy Hall was born in Ridgecrest on Sept. 12, 1970, to loving parents Carl Watson and Linda Marie Hall.
He passed away at home in Tucson, Ariz., on April 1, 2019.
He is survived by brothers Micah (Katie), Spencer (Megan), David and Jason (Angie); and sisters Alice, Elizabeth, Johanna, Charity Brown (Rick) and Stephanie Buie (Cameron).
He grew up in Ridgecrest and in June 1988 graduated from Burroughs High School, where he had been active in drama and the marching band playing many different instruments as a gifted musician. Shortly after graduating from BHS, he joined the United States Army and served in Germany.
After the Army, he pursued many different careers and enjoyed his time with Microsoft. But his passion for music led him to play in a band called Black Sun Ensemble. Slowburn Records produced their first album called "Behind Purple Clouds" in which Carl played percussion. Their latest album "Cobracalia" features Carl playing the dumbek and conga drums. He also drummed for a dance studio in Tucson.
Everyone who encountered Carl felt his extraordinary kindness and that he had all the time in the world for them. He was passionate and his generous spirit connected with everybody, easily traversing differences between them. No matter the stress, Carl moved through this world with grace and kindness.
He deeply touched people with his contagious faith in everyone, unfathomable enthusiasm, transcendent empathy and compassion, unmatched energy and love, roaring laugh and relentless sense of humor. He had the biggest heart, the sharpest mind and the most encompassing soul ever lent this earth.
He will be sorely missed by his many friends and family who know and love him for the music he brought into their lives.
His memorial service will be held April 7 at noon at Adair Funeral Home (Dodge Chapel) in Tucson.

DeVos scheme to distribute more relief money to private schools is scuttled for good
Publish Date: September 25, 2020 3:37 pm
Author: Texas AFT
This week, U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos was forced to reverse course on her controversial plan to give a disproportionate amount of CARES Act funding to private schools at the expense of public schools. DeVos' reluctant reversal came after the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ordered that her plan be vacated because the rule that she put in place violated federal law as it directly went against the U.S. Congress's intention by passing the CARES Act.
In passing the CARES Act, lawmakers on either side of the aisle agreed that the funding should be distributed to private and public schools using the same formula in which all federal aid is traditionally distributed based on the number of children from low-income families which the schools served, but DeVos' plan to distribute the aid would have based the distribution on the total numbers of children attending private schools, regardless of whether students were considered low-income or not. In July, DeVos backed off slightly on this rule by saying that any money received by private schools had to be spent for the benefit of students from low-income families, but this plan would be impossible to implement or regulate and still would have sent hundreds of millions of dollars more to private schools than Congress had intended.
The court order for DeVos to vacate the rule altogether will ensure a more equitable distribution of CARES Act funds across Texas. The Texas Education Agency updated its guidance to LEAs (Local Education Authorities) to reflect the reversal of DeVos' plan, ordering all the LEAs who were planning to distribute money on DeVos' formula to instead use the more equitable, traditional distribution formula. Public dollars will still be sent to private schools, but private schools will no longer be given an extreme, disproportionate advantage as DeVos had originally planned.

Fifteen unforgettable college basketball moments from 2014
By Terrence PayneDec 31, 2014, 12:00 PM EST
1. UConn men's and women's basketball teams both win national titles, only school to do so … and they've done once before
The UConn men's basketball team won its second national championship on Apr. 7, an improbable run culminating in a wire-to-wire win over Kentucky. The following night, the women's basketball team capped an undefeated season, repeating as national champion. Since 1999, the two programs have combined for 12 titles. UConn is the only school to have dual champions in the same season, first doing so in 2004.
2. Aaron Harrison's 3-pointers vs. Michigan and Wisconsin put Kentucky in the national championship game
Kentucky entered the 2014 NCAA Tournament as a No. 8 seed, a disappointing seed given the preseason hype around the team. The Wildcats went through growing pains all season long, and hit their stride in March, reaching the national title game with dramatic wins over Wichita State, Louisville, Michigan and Wisconsin. In the latter two, Aaron Harrison cemented himself as one of the clutchest players in the tournament's history with identical shots against Michigan and Wisconsin.
3. Lauren Hill inspires nation through her fight with inoperable brain cancer
By now you know the story of Lauren Hill, the freshman at Mount St. Joseph in Ohio. She was diagnosed last season with terminal brain cancer. She has inspired others by continuing to pursue her dream of playing college basketball while also raising awareness for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. The NCAA approved moving her team's season debut up to Nov. 2, in which she scored the season's first basket. Hill has appeared in several more games before being named honorary coach. So far, she has helped raise over $1 million.
4. UMass guard Derrick Gordon becomes the first openly gay player in Division I men's basketball
Months after NFL Draft hopeful Michael Sam announced he was gay, UMass junior guard Derrick Gordon did the same, becoming the first active player in men's Division I basketball to do so. Gordon, in his second season with the Minutemen, is averaging 11.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.2 steals per game.
5. Rashad McCants reveals he took bogus classes at North Carolina in order to remain eligible
There has been controversy around the North Carolina athletic department for quite some time. In June, Rashad McCants, a member of the 2005 national championship team, accused Roy Williams of steering him into no-show, paper classes in order to remain eligible. This sparked the reopening of an NCAA investigation, in whichKenneth Wainstein, a former member of the U.S. Justice Department, found 18 years of academic fraud. McCants, who spent four years in the NBA, has been relatively quiet since claiming UNC and the NCAA were set to pay him $310 million.
6. Kentucky's platoon system is unveiled
With nine McDonald's All-Americas on the roster, and several holdover John Calipari was not expecting on having, how was Kentucky going to divide the play time so everyone would be satisfied? Easy, Coach Cal implemented a platoon system. It's not always going to be the game plan, but it'll certainly continue to be a talking point into 2015.
7. Wichita State runs the table, 31-0 regular season
Gregg Marshall followed a Final Four run in 2013 with 35 consecutive wins. The Shockers capped off a perfect 31-0 regular season with a 68-45 win over Missouri State. Wichita State would win the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament and advance to the Round of 32 where the Shockers met Kentucky in arguably the best game of the year. It took a Kentucky team, playing its best basketball of the season, to narrowly hand Wichita State a loss.
8. Adreian Payne's friendship with 8-year-old cancer patient, Lacey Holsworth
In February, Jason King of Bleacher Report told the heartwarming story of Michigan State big man Adreian Payne befriending 8-year-old cancer patient, Lacey Holsworth. The nation really got to know Princess Lacey when she became part of Payne's Senior Night. Lacey died in April. Payne and Michigan State gave her a brought her so much joy in her final months — inviting her to the East Regionals in New York and to Dallas to watch Payne in the college basketball dunk contest — and in return she touched countless lives, stretching far beyond the East Lansing campus.
9. Shabazz Napier tells reporters he goes to bed "starving" weeks before leading UConn to the national title
The NCAA has consistently been under fire for its lack of compensation for student-athletes. In March, UConn senior Shabazz Napier went on record stating, "I don't feel student-athletes should get hundreds of thousands of dollars, but like I said, there are hungry nights that I go to bed and I'm starving." That quote were originally from late March, but didn't gain traction until CNN posted it right before the national title. Without UConn's championship run, those comments likely don't get the attention it did. The NCAA approved unlimited snacks a week later.
10. Doug McDermott scores his 3,000th point in a Creighton uniform
On Senior Night, Creighton forward Doug McDermott became only the eighth player in NCAA history to score 3,000 points. Naturally he surpassed the milestone with a 3-pointer en route to 45 points in a win over Providence. McDermott, now a rookie with the Chicago Bulls, ended with 3,150 career points.
11. Jim Boeheim's jacket becomes the focal point of an epic meltdown
The first matchup between Syracuse and Duke as ACC rivals was an instant classic with the Orange prevailing in overtime. The second meeting looked to become another thriller until Jim Boeheim had a Hall of Fame worthy tantrum. C.J. Fair was called for a controversial charge with 10.4 seconds left and the Blue Devils leading 60-58. Boeheim, quite simply, lost it. Racing down the sideline, saying words I can't write on this website and getting ejected from the came. Duke was able to secure the win from the line thanks to the meltdown. This also sparked some of the greatest memes.
12. Austin Hatch, a two-time plane crash survivor, scores his first point for Michigan
The Michigan freshman has endured more than you can imagine over the years. He's been involved in two plane crashes, resulting in the death of five family members. Michigan promised to honor his scholarship, and earlier this month he scored his first career points.
13. Mercer upset sets Duke, Kevin Canevari does the 'Nae-Nae'
The upset of the tournament was No. 14 Mercer over No. 3 Duke in the Round of 64. Plenty came from this game. There was an awesome postgame interview. Lehigh, which upset Duke in a 2012, and Florida Gulf Coast, Mercer's conference rival and previous tournament darling, tweeted congratulations. Duke legend Christian Laettner tweeted that this wouldn't have happened during his career. But the most memorable was Mercer reserve guard Kevin Canevari doing the 'Nae-Nae'.
14. Dayton's Elite 8 run
The Flyers started Atlantic 10 Conference play 1-5 after cracking the top 25 rankings in November. Dayton recovered to win 23 games and become one of six bids from the A10, as a No. 11 seed. In the Round of 64, the Flyers were slotted against in-state rival Ohio State, upsetting the Buckeyes before taking down No. 3 Syracuse and then topping No. 10 Stanford in the Sweet 16. The run came to an end against top-seeded Florida. The run turned Dayton head coach Archie Miller into a prime candidate for several coaching vacancies, but he signed an extension in March.
15. Wofford's Aerris Smith delivers a passionate speech in his final collegiate game
This may not be as well known as other moments in 2014, but this is truly an incredible speech. Wofford forward Aerris Smith had his senior season dominated by injuries. After the Terriers won the Southern Conference Tournament championship, Smith announced that he had played in his final game.

Leading Emirati rights activist Ahmed Mansoor has been sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined 1 million dirhams ($359,000) for criticising the Government in social media posts, according to local news reports.
Mansoor has been convicted of defaming the United Arab Emirates on Twitter and Facebook
He was acquitted of cooperating with a "terrorist organisation"
Mansoor has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment with a further three years surveillance
The National, an Abu Dhabi-based newspaper, reported Mansoor was found guilty of insulting the "status and prestige of the UAE" and its leaders.
It said Mansoor can appeal the State Security Court ruling through the Federal Supreme Court.
Another UAE outlet, the Dubai-based Gulf News said the defendant, identified only as "AMS" by his initials, would be under surveillance for three years after prison.
It said the defendant, who had a court-appointed lawyer, was convicted on Tuesday (local time) of defaming the United Arab Emirates on Twitter and Facebook.
He was acquitted on other charges of cooperating with a "terrorist organisation" outside the country, news reports said.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) condemned Mansoor's sentencing, saying it exposed the UAE's inability "to tolerate the mildest of criticisms from a genuine reformer".
"A 10-year sentence for 'defaming' the UAE is all you need to know about the brutality and repression beneath the Emirates' gilded facade," Sarah Leah Whitson, Mideast director at HRW, said.
Mansoor was the recipient of the prestigious Martin Ennals Award for Human Rights Defenders in 2015.
He was also a member of HRW's advisory committee on the Mideast and North Africa and a member of the Gulf Centre for Human Rights' advisory board.
He was arrested in March 2017 when security forces raided his home in the emirate of Ajman, confiscating computers and phones.
Amnesty International said his iPhone had been targeted using elite spyware in an attempt to turn it into a tracking device and find out who his contacts were.
The incident led to Apple issuing a security update to the iPhone in August 2016, according to Amnesty.
In the weeks leading up to his arrest, Mansoor had criticised the imprisonment of other activists in the UAE, including Nasser bin-Ghaith, an academic and economist who was sentenced to 10 years after his criticism of Emirati and Egyptian authorities.
Human Rights Watch previously reported Mansoor had also used Twitter to draw attention to rights violations committed by the Saudi-led coalition at war in Yemen, of which the UAE is an active member.
The charges Mansoor was found guilty of apparently fall under the country's 2012 cybercrimes law, which HRW said authorities in the UAE had used to imprison numerous activists.
Mansoor had previously been detained in 2011 and sentenced to three years in prison for insulting top officials.
He was pardoned later that year by the country's president, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, but was banned from travelling abroad.
