"Stats Are For Nerds"
Baltimore Ravens NFL Draft Full Recap
On April 30, 2018 April 30, 2018 By Joe HamiltonIn Episodes
Well, the draft is finally over. There were offensive linemen, there were pass catchers, there were defensive depth picks, and most of all, there were trades galore. In Ozzie Newsome's final draft, he maneuvered his way through the draft like only a seasoned pro could, turning the Ravens 8 picks (and one 2019 2nd round pick) into 12 picks for this year, tied for the most in Ravens draft history with the 1997 draft. Obviously, with 12 picks, even the biggest Ravens draft nerds might have found themselves lost in the team's moves and can't remember who went where. So for all Ravens fans, here is a quick recap of what the team did in the NFL draft.
1. Pick 25 – Hayden Hurst, TE, South Carolina
The Ravens took Hurst, who was widely considered the most complete tight end in the draft, after two trade backs. Hurst is an older player, having began his career in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization as a baseball player, but is still younger than Dennis Pitta was when he was taken by the Ravens in 2010. Hurst provides a very strong, reliable target to move the chains.
2. Pick 32 – Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville
The Ravens surprised everyone when they traded back into the 1st round to select Jackson, a 2016 Heisman Trophy award winner. Jackson is an electrifying Quarterback whose running game is as strong as his passing game. His selection seems to signify that the Ravens are ready to usher in a new type of offensive scheme and certainly are thinking about a successor to Joe Flacco.
3. Pick 83 – Orlando Brown, Jr., OT, Oklahoma

The Ravens got a very emotional and helpful pickup when they selected Brown Jr, the son of the late former Raven OT Orlando "Zeus" Brown. Brown Jr was linked to the Ravens as early as Round 1 early in the draft process, but a poor NFL Combine led his stock to drop considerably. While the Combine performance is a concern, Orlando should provide a strong RT that can start for them as soon as this year.
4. Pick 86 – Mark Andrews, TE, Oklahoma
(Joe Robbins/Getty Images North America)
Yes, the Ravens took another TE when they selected Mark Andrews, much like they did in 2010 with Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta. Andrews is a great slot TE option, not quite as strong as Hurst, but should provide even more help to rebuild a Tight End group that has been decimated in the last few years by injury, retirement, and failed draft picks.
5. Pick 118, Anthony Averett, CB, Alabama
The Ravens took a CB for the 4th straight year, in the hopes that more draft picks can continue to bolster their depth at the position. Averett isn't a "ballhawk" type CB, but can play the outside CB position well and stick with WRs deep down the field. He was consistently rated as a Round 2-3 prospect, so was incredible value for the Ravens in Round 4.
6. Pick 122, Kenny Young, LB, UCLA
(AP Photo/Darron Cummings)
The Ravens got a potential ILB starter in Young, who led the UCLA Bruins in tackles with 101 in 2017. Young had the slowest 3 cone drill for all linebackers, but he excels in coverage, which is a big area of need for the Ravens. The Ravens had hoped Kamalei Correa could slot in where Zach Orr had played well in 2016, but lost his job mostly to Peanut Onawuasor. Young should provide immediate competition there.
7. Pick 132, Jaleel Scott, WR, New Mexico State
(Michael Conroy, AP)
The Ravens were expected to add at WR during this draft, and they tapped into the class with Scott. Scott is 6'5" and is known for his consistent hands and strong performance in contested catches. Ozzie Newsome commented that, even when compared to the Ravens' free agent WR signings, Scott provides a different skillset than the options currently on the roster.
8. Pick 162, Jordan Lasley, WR, UCLA
(Scott Varley)
There's quite a lot of noteworthy content with the selection of Jordan Lasley. The Ravens grabbed 2 WRs in the draft for the first time since 2015. The selection of Lasley is intriguing because he had a VERY high drop rate in college, which is something the Ravens have had problems with already. Also, Lasley has plenty of character issues, with a few team suspensions in his past. The Ravens typically shy away from a pick like Lasley, but Ozzie felt that he could live up to his promise that he has changed. Lasley produced in a large way for UCLA, so it's a very boom or bust pick.
9. Pick 190, DeShon Elliott, S, Texas
(Getty Images North America)
The Ravens had several chances to take high talent S earlier in the draft, but find a great value safety in Elliott, who could've gone as early as 3rd round. DeShon isn't quite the "Centerfield free safety" that the Ravens could use to eventually succeed Eric Weddle, but Elliott played well all over the field in college. He has good size at 210 pounds and 6'1", and ran well in the Combine.
10. Pick 212, Greg Senat, OT, Wagner
(Darron Cummings, Associated Press)
Wagner hasn't produced an NFL draft pick since 1965, but the Ravens took a chance on the very small school tackle in Senat. Senat is also a basketball player and has great size for the tackle position, but obviously is very raw and not very tested against elite college competition. That said, at this late in the draft, Senat is a good developmental pick and it'll be interesting to see if he can provide solid depth with some NFL level coaching.
11. Pick 215, Bradley Bozeman, C, Alabama
(JP Waldron, Cal Sport Media via AP Images)
Ravens score double points here for grabbing a 2nd lineman in a row, the 2nd Alabama player in their draft class, and one that fills a need to boot. Bozeman has great size, weighing in at 317 pounds. He went late due to some lacking performance in the Senior Bowl and in some senior year games. While it's far from certain that he will develop into a starting NFL center, the Ravens took a C in the 6th round in 2013 that just developed into one of the highest paid Centers in the NFL. So history could be in the Ravens favor here.
12. Pick 238, Zach Sieler, DE, Ferris State
(Keith Salowich)
It's fitting that Ozzie Newsome, with the final pick in his NFL draft career, selects a small school defensive lineman, something he has found great success with through the years. Again, Sieler has not faced strong competition, but has great athletic ability and his tape shows him absolutely dominating opposing offensive linemen. He will need NFL coaching to produce, but could be the last, great Ozzie Newsome gem in a long career of mining draft gems.
So, to sum up the master class of Ozzie Newsome's final draft, the Ravens took 4 pass catchers on a team that lacked quality pass catchers in 2017, took 3 offensive linemen to pair with 2 offensive linemen from last year's draft in hopes to restock their depth and talent in the trenches, and took 4 defensive players to fill key holes and depth. On top of that, Ozzie set his successor up with a potential franchise quarterback that many NFL analysts feel could wind up being the most exciting and promising in the entire 2018 class. Ozzie did all that while only trading away one pick from next year (a 2nd rounder). The 2018 Ravens certainly changed this weekend in major, exciting ways.

Q: What is the use of cap_set_proc() if the program needs to be run as root I am trying to unmount a usb-storage device through a c++ program, using umount2() function. Since umount2() needs administrative privileges, I implemented umount2() with cap_set_proc() as follows
  cap_t caps;
  cap_value_t cap_list[1];
  caps = cap_get_proc();
  if (caps == NULL)
      std::cout << "cap_get_proc failed: " << strerror(errno) << std::endl;
  cap_list[0] = CAP_SYS_ADMIN;
  if (cap_set_flag(caps, CAP_EFFECTIVE, 1, cap_list, CAP_SET) == -1)
      std::cout << "cap_set_flags failed: " << strerror(errno) << std::endl;
  if (cap_set_proc(caps) == -1)
      std::cout << "cap_set_proc failed: " << strerror(errno) << std::endl;
  else
  {
    while(umount2("/media/user/usb_storage_device", MNT_DETACH))
    {
      std::cout << "ERROR: " << strerror(errno) << std::endl;
      std::this_thread::sleep_for (std::chrono::seconds(2));
    }
    std::cout << "Unmounted!" << std::endl;
  }
  if (cap_free(caps) == -1)
      std::cout << "cap_free failed: " << strerror(errno) std::endl;

But when I run the above code as a normal user I get error:

"cap_set_proc failed: Operation not permitted"

But, if I run the code as a root, usb-storage device is unmounted successfully. So my question is, what is the use of using cap_set_proc() to provide administrative privileges, if the cap_set_proc() function itself needs root privileges to execute?
Am I doing something wrong here?
Also,is it possible to actually use cap_set_proc() without executing the program with sudo?
Please help.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an auto-immune disease which causes the body to attack the central nervous system using the immune system. This can result in muscles spasms and tremors, limb weakness or pain and chronic tiredness. Cannabis has been used as a treatment for symptoms for quite some time: it is an anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxant and is seemingly effective in reducing spasms and chronic pain whilst also reducing anxiety and lifting the mood of sufferers. If you think medical marijuana might be a good treatment for your MS symptoms and want to buy some top quality cannabis seeds to start growing your own medicine, then you should check out the strains listed below and choose from the very best SeedSupreme Seed Bank has to offer.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies were one of my favourite coffee house treats when I was in my teens. For some reason, the reference to oatmeal made me feel like I was eating healthy and I felt better about choosing this treat over say a double chocolate chunk cookie. Very silly now that I think about it considering the insane amount of sugar and other unhealthy ingredients that go into making the average coffee house cookie.
All of that said, the smell and flavour of an oatmeal raisin cookie automatically transport me to my teens, where I would sit in a coffee shop for hours enthralled in serious girl talk with girl friends over lattes and oatmeal raisin cookies.
While we're on the subject of girl talk, I had a tea date at my American girl friends house a few weeks back for which I made these cookies, a healthier version of the original classic, to which I added apples and a good dash cinnamon. The girls loved them and we polished them off over tea and a good dose of girl talk. You put together two Americans and a Canadian who are all married to Italian men and living in Milan, and trust me the conversations get interesting.
The girls asked for the recipe and all I had to go on was memory. So, I decided I'd make them again and write out the recipe for them as I did and since I was doing that, I snapped a few shots so I could share them with you as well.
So here they are for your enjoyment, with or without girl talk.
These cookies are a great snack or tea time treat. They're soft and pillowy, with an intense cinnamon flavour and a natural sweetness from the apples and raisins, enhanced by a slight bit of pure Canadian maple syrup.
Remove from oven and let them cool until they are not too hot to handle. Enjoy warm and store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Oh my goodness, these look like such delish apple-y cookies. I love when you can see the real fruit in baked goods. Great post!

Middle East Think Tank Feud Deepens
Here is more from Politico:
The legal battle between SAPRAC, a Washington lobbying firm closely aligned with Saudi Arabia, and the Institute for Gulf Affairs, a think tank, has escalated since the think tank sued SAPRAC this summer. The suit alleged that Salman Al-Ansari, who runs SAPRAC, smeared Ali Al-Ahmed, one of the think tank's experts, by calling him a terrorist in an interview with a blogger. SAPRAC's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the suit. The institute's lawyers have responded by filing a legal motion of their own on Tuesday, including an affidavit signed by Al-Ahmed in which he reports living "in constant fear of being attacked, especially by people who sympathize with Saudi Arabia who will take Al-Ansari's word as truth."
Al-Ahmed also claims he's been blackballed by reporters who used to interview him. "Specifically, a significant number of media outlets have stopped inviting me to appear, and those that had recorded interviews with me, such as BBC and NPR, chose not to air them after Al-Ansari made these statements," he writes in the affidavit. "Additionally, the political newspaper called The Hill has ignored my request to become a contributing writer." SAPRAC didn't responded to a request for comment.
Here is a link to the Institute for Gulf Affairs' (IGA) website, and here is a link to Ali Al-Ahmed's biography. IGA is based in Washington, DC.

GREENVILLE - Ella Ezell "Tootsie" Davis, 71, of Greenville, entered into eternal rest with her savior Jesus Christ on Saturday, January 21, 2017, at home with family. She was born in Drakesboro on March 17, St. Patrick's day of 1945. She was a cashier at Stewart's IGA, became an underground coal miner for Peabody Coal Co., and went on to retire as a seamstress with Flynn Corp. in Central City. She was also a member of Drakesboro Baptist Church. She was preceded in death by her parents, Mildred Yonts Ezell and William "Bill" Ezell.

Ella was our grade school, junior high and high school classmate at Drakesboro High School. We all graduated together in 1962. We have fond memories of all those years together in school, band and summer vacations and sleepovers. It was a happy time for all of us.
She will be missed but always remembered by us.
So sorry for your loss.... My step mom and Tootsie were good friends.. I remember my step mom would go visit Tootsie and me, my brother Andrew and sister Miranda would always swim in the pool with Jonathan.. and Emily was just a little baby. My dad was Mitch Rice that worked at the auto parts store in beechmont. I have nothing but fond memories of Tootsie! Tootsie always made me laugh! Haven't seen her since I was a kid.... but she was a one of a kind! Praying for you all..
May God bless and comfort you and your family during these times of loss. We had the pleasure of meeting you and Tootsie at the Catalina. Dusty and Kim Thomas.
Tootsie worked with my mom Lela in the mines. She was such a character. She had so much spirit. I have thought of her so often over the past few years. I am glad I got the chance to meet her. I am so sorry for her family's loss.
Phyllis & Maxine, sending Condolences to you both in the passing of your loved one, may God comfort you in a special way.
Ella is my Mamaw. She was the best Mamaw in the whole world. I miss her so much and I love her so much.
Phil I am so sorry for your loss.

Mondays can tend to be the toughest day of the week but I don't write about work here. If I did, readership would likely spiral downwards. Monday can also be a "treasure trove" when it comes to the "old fashioned" mailbox. More below on what arrived in mine today.
Last week was the 37th anniversary of legendary runner Steve Prefontaine's death.
I didn't know who "Pre" was at the time of the '72 Munich Olympics. What I remember was US vs. USSR in basketball, Mark Spitz' historic gold medal run, and the tragic terrorist attacks on the Israeli athletes. Steve didn't have the Olympic moment he was looking for in Munich and little did he know that he wouldn't be back in four years.
Pre died three years later after those Olympic games at the age of 24 in an auto accident. His reputation and lore grows stronger each year.
As I got hooked, then addicted on running I started to become aware of who "Pre" was. Early on as I began running, I didn't know why runners were wearing shirts that said "Stop PRE" or "Pre Lives." I likely pretended to know why they were wearing those shirts.
Every September, Coos Bay, Oregon hosts the annual Prefontaine Memorial Run. This fall will be the 32nd running of the 10K race. If you don't know about Pre, there are some good films including Fire on the Track, and Prefontaine which stars Jared Leto. I had a secondary motive to watch the later as I wanted to know why my wife keeps threatening to leave me for some guy named "Jared Leto."
Let me admit, I violated a basic runner's rule by buying a t-shirt for a race I didn't run in, but figured this one was "retro." For $5, I picked up a "bitchin" Memorial Run t-shirt from 2007 which my mailman delivered today. Pre Lives!
Follow SeekingBostonMarathon on Facebook or comment on my page if you are already one of my misguided followers if you want the link to the $5 gem. #notaspam link nor do I make money off the $5 shirts...I just feel guilty for not sharing.

LACMA9, Redlands. | Photo: Duncan Cheng.
In partnership with LACMA9 Art + Film Lab LACMA9 Art + Film Lab, in residence in nine communities, offers free art and film workshops, an oral history project, outdoor film screenings, plus a day of free admission to LACMA.
Redlands, San Bernardino, Altadena. Monterey Park, Hacienda Heights, Montebello. Compton, Inglewood, Torrance.
These places are loosely connected by the 10, the 605 and the 210 freeways, but nothing else brings to mind a common thread. They're all in Southern California, sure, but Hacienda Heights, it seems, has as much in common with Milwaukee, Wisconsin as Compton does with Redlands.
And maybe that's the point of The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA)'s new educational initiative, the LACMA9 Art + Film Lab. The traveling interactive installation/event and community space will visit the nine aforementioned communities over a period of 16 months. In these diverse Southern California zipcodes, the project aims to find the collective consciousness of the people who live within and weave them together through interactive art and film programming. The program, which will set up every weekend and move every five weeks, will give audiences a chance to watch a diverse set of films (from Hollywood classics to foreign films and independents), listen to cutting-edge bands and create movies starring members of their community.
The best part? All of it -- the hands-on artmaking, the filmmaking workshops, the weekly outdoor film screenings, and the gathering of oral histories from community members -- is free.
"We wanted to reach places that we thought were underserved geographically by LACMA, with limited arts and cultural infrastructure," said Hanul Bahm, LACMA's community engagement manager, said. "Redlands is obviously not one of those places, but it's one of the places we wanted to introduce LACMA programming to," she added.
At the heart of the LACMA9 experience is the constant interaction. After the art and film lab give audiences a taste for what it's like to have art in their home turf for five weeks, members of each community will be invited to a community day -- with free admission -- at LACMA.
Supported by a grant from The James Irvine Foundation, the 16-month program opened at the University of Redlands on June 7. The initial set up -- at a street corner parking lot -- was unobtrusive, yet held limitless potential for the both the working artists who will help the community create their films and the audiences who came because they were curious. At the forefront was Son Real and its arpa jarocha playing a soundtrack to the magical sunset. Behind them, a film would be screening once it got dark. Adjacent to the band was the eye-popping transportable workshop space created by Cuban-born sculptor Jorge Pardo.
"We wanted it to be a miniature outpost of LACMA. Jorge was chosen because his practice lives at the intersection of art and design and architecture functionality and sculpture. So this is how we want this lab space to live," Bahm said.
"It was a minor feat of engineering, transporting this structure," she added. Made up of three parts, the red-and-orange space made of steel and plywood had the exact dimensions of a trailer home. Built especially for LACMA9, it's imbued with the same sense of wonder that marks much of Pardo's work: "Is it furniture or art?"
"He wanted to grace it with vibrancy, because everything we're offering out of the space is free to the community," Bahm said. Nothing similar to this -- a space that will visit nine different places, yet isn't on wheels -- has been done before. And in the collaboration, both Pardo and LACMA put a lot of care into making the piece celebratory, meaningful and fun. "It's playful and kind of explanatory, kind of like an Airstream with a different design," Bahm said. "It's like [LACMA is] living outdoors in Southern California."
LACMA9 hopes to attract primarily adult audiences in this venture -- a new thrust in their educational programming. For adults, who spend their time working and caring for parents or children, there's not a lot of creative "me-time." That's something LACMA9 hopes to address. The workshops -- which include creating soundtracks, cinematography, in-camera editing, and more -- are designed and facilitated by working filmmakers and video artists, and were created to be accessible even for those who have never held a camera before -- in effect, democratizing filmmaking. "With today's technology, filmmaking and video are concepts anyone can own, just like a pencil in your hand. You can draw, make a revolutionary manifesto, write poetry; technology is at a point that it's so cheap anything is a possibility," Bahm added.
The process -- teaching folks that anyone can be a filmmaker -- was what made the project so exciting, said Walter Vargas, one of of the video artists heading the workshops. "[In Southern California] I feel like filmmaking is never activated in the community; it's always about Hollywood and the industry.
"The reason I'm very attracted to filmmaking is because when I see a good film, I see a person's experience that I get to reflect on in my own life. Once I understand that, you feel empowered -- you get to know yourself better. It's a very electric sensation, and you realize that your boundaries are much larger than what you originally thought."
After collecting oral histories from the Art + Film Lab, installation artist Nicole Miller will then work with residents in each site to create new video works. "I'm always surprised here in Southern California that there are all these stories that we're told, but we never really see it told [in cultural representations]," she said. "What I'm looking for, because the work is cinema-based and my work is inspired by cinematic ideas, are stories based on feelings that people haven't seen in media," Miller added. "Something faithful and worthwhile to tell."
Nicole Miller's first series will be exhibited at LACMA on the Redlands Community Day on Sunday, October 13.

After splitting from N.W.A., Ice Cube became one of the most profane and profound firebrands of the early '90s with sneering G-funk tracks like "Steady Mobbin'". Slices of life like "Once Upon a Time in the Projects" and the laidback "It Was a Good Day" demonstrated his storytelling skills and dark sense of humour. By the decade's end, jiggy crowd-pleasers like "We Be Clubbin'" showed the hold that gangsta rap's greatest storyteller had on the mainstream.

Shiprock Man, Travis Begay Sentenced to 8 Years for DUI Causing Childs Death
On March 4, 2019, Travis Lester Begay, 30, of Shiprock, N.M., was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Steven P. Logan to eight years' imprisonment. Begay had previously pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and assault resulting in serious bodily injury.

After drinking all day on June 3, 2018, Begay began driving his car with four young children in the back seat. Begay's blood alcohol content at the time was 0.28, which is three-and-a-half times the legal limit. Because he was so intoxicated, Begay lost control of the car and caused a rollover crash. A ten-year–old child was ejected from the back seat and died as a result of the collision. Both Begay and the victim are members of the Navajo Nation, and the offense occurred on Navajo Route 63, north of Red Valley, Ariz., on the Navajo Nation Indian Reservation.
The investigation was conducted by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The prosecution was handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney William G. Voit, District of Arizona, Phoenix.
